slicklizard Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I know our guys have been at it a long time since the nineties I think and I know of no others I can think of that have been at it that long football wise. I remember Kelly Sanner doing it for Oak Grove but he’s not at it anymore. I can remember listening to Metzler and the Picayune guys over the internet since the mid 2000s. Maybe there are some from the northern part of the state that have been at it longer that I’m not aware of. What’s the longest any of y’all know of being broadcast, not just internet, but radio too ? And maybe a memorable moment or two to go with it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That predates Dodd Lee as Head Coach since he took over the helm in 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroontide06 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Didn't Jack Cristil also call Starkville High School Football games as well? I think he did that for a long time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABO1 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 WABO has been broadcasting High school football in Waynesboro since the mid 60s I know. WABO would replay the game on Saturday mornings in the 60s. Not sure when they actually went live. To my knowledge there has never been a Wayne County War Eagle Football game that was not broadcast by WABO. In 2004 we added delayed video on the local cable channel and did that up until a couple of years ago. We began our livestream when Covid came along and are continuing that again this year. Sharpie Smith and Kenny Odom did the radio call for years. Kenny joined me in the delayed video broadcasting around 2008 and in or about 2010 Kenny and I started calling the games for WABO and we are still at it. It is a ton of fun!

Big Poppa Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 This should be Bud Bowen's 45th year doing West Point games. He is a class act win or lose but of course West Point doesn't lose often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've talked to him for about the last 7 yrs HHS and WC have played. In fact made my way to the press box to chat with him last season at WC.
