“I’m excited to let you know that we will be broadcasting the high school football playoffs AND high school basketball on I am Country 106.9 FM,” he wrote in a release. “I’m still waiting on schedules, but it looks like a 9-game regular season schedule for hoops on radio this season.”
 
He was also thankful to get through a difficult September schedule and still manage to broadcast a full slate of high school football games.

Game of the Week

“I’m happy to report that we ended up broadcasting a total of 13 ‘live’ high school sports games/shows in the month of September. We had some help as I navigated my way through COVID-19. I’m thankful to all who helped keep the momentum going while I was out.  The goal for October is to at least match that number.”
