Our stations will be at three different games Saturday:

On CD 107.9 and www.cd1079.com:

1pm – 4A Game – Decatur St. Teresa (7-3) at Dunlap (9-1). Dave Murphy and Rich Draeger on PBP.

7pm – 1A Game – Lewistown (10-0) at North Fulton (8-2). Leon Groover and Bob Wagner on PBP.

On AM 1560, WBYS and www.wbysradio.com:

7pm – 2A Game – Orion (10-0) at Farmington (6-4). Dave Murphy and Mark Bixler on PBP.

Tony Z will have his halftime scoreboard show on all games. Tony will get up to the second scores by text message from games involving Richwoods, Metamora, Washington, IVC, Stark County, Princeville, Aledo and every other team in this part of the state.

I’m very proud of our guys and our stations. Eight football games in two weekends on two stations, utilizing a total of seven play-by-play announcers and three studio engineers. I don’t think any other group of stations in the state has done that many games over the first two weeks of this year’s playoffs, plus we give steady updates from those other games around the state through use of stringers sending texts from nearly every game.

Between this and severe weather, this is what live local radio is all about. If anybody among the few folks who read this hear any of the coverage, let me know how we do.

    You are, unquestionably, without shame! :) That said, I agree with you 100%! Local radio is about news, local severe weather and other public safety issues, and covering the local sports.
