    Play by Play Announcer for 90.7 FM The Wind... You know me... you just have no idea who I am....
  1. valant effort from the Colonels... but too much athletic talent from LC...
  2. I have been doing Bourbon Co. Athletics on radio for over 3 years now, started when I was 19... not bad for a young kid to start on a 10,000 watt radio station... but unfortunately lack of sponsorship has killed the football season for radio this year for both Bourbon Co. and Paris... this season sponorship fell through at the last minute... I had planned to put the broadcast on the team's website BUT there is not enough space to put all the games on... I have been trying to work out something with the radio station to put games on a delay but it's so deep in the season I doubt it will do any good.. I have covered all but one game so far this year, I honestly believe it would be only right to follow the team through the rest of the season even if the games do not make the air... (it is good to have the games on record for resume purposes, I graduate college this May)... it's the biggest shame for the kids honestly, I know the station worked hard in sales to get businesses in Paris to buy in but when you cannot get enough sponors to draw even or even lose a slight amount it's not profitable for the station to do the games... kids on both teams work hard and they deserve as much publicity as possible... It's basically a combo of the teams struggling lately and the economic situation the country is in... I did visit the radio station earlier this week and we have put a basketball package together for Bourbon Co. and Paris basketball (boys and girls)... sponsorship sells much easier for basketball, and preliminary talks seem to be going good with businesses... I will keep those interested updated on the status the closer we get to basketball season.. knock on wood live basketball games for both schools will go on as scheduled...
  3. I'll be in the box... should be the largest crowd of the year for Bourbon... crowd attendence most of the year has been pitiful quite honestly...
  4. Bourbon has trouble stopping the run... Tiion Thomas could go wild... but Bourbon has the home field and rivalry games are usually toss-ups... I'll take Bourbon in a close one...
  5. Massie has done a whale of a job... 2006: 0 wins 2007: 2 wins 2008: 2 wins (chance for more) From where this program was 3 years ago, and where it is now... not even close... they aren't a great team by any means... but they haven't embrassed themselves often this year either...
  6. Borubon County has improved in just about every single game this year... the thing that absolutely kills them is turnovers and penalties... a long 5 minute drive in the first quarter with no score ended with an interception... down only 14-6 at halftime, Purcell has over 130 yards rushing, the offense had 4 or 5 long drives, they played well overall.... Mason has a nice team and Coach Buchanan is flat out class... Thompson was a beast... Bourbon has sturggled against the run this year and he took advantage of it... Bourbon has their biggest game of the year next week... they need a district win... Nice to see some of my old friends from Mason up in the pressbox tonight as well
  7. not live... I am recording the games... we were working on putting the games on the team website but I dont believe they have enough bandwidth... It's a shame it's not live this year... the kids work hard and deserve the exposure... plus live is amazingly thrilling... it is good that I am recording my stuff for resume purposes... I would like to try to move into a bigger broadcasting market (TV Anchor, reporter, broadcaster, etc.) once I finish school this year... but it's more of a bad deal for the kids... they put in a ton of hard work and deserve being on a 10,000 watt radio station as much as the basketball players do... the sponsorship in Paris has been lackluster for football the past couple of years... obviously the economy has alot to do with it but the station has had no problem getting stuff for basketball but they simply cannot sell football for whatever reason... Having covered every game this year you can see the improvement the kids have made... I wasn't expecting a very close game at all last night (considering the recent history between the teams) but they would have been very much in the game deep in the second half if not for the two touchdown callbacks... down 14-7 midway through the third quarter against a team beat you 62-6 and 57-7 last year is a major improvement...
  8. Officiating was interesting most of the night... I thought both teams had some grips... Bourbon had two touchdowns called back on holding penalties in the first half... small things like penalities are momentum killers... Taylor Barnes vs. Deron Hicks was an excellent one on one matchup in the first half... enjoyed watching them go against each other out wide... Massie is doing a solid job... compare this year's team to 2006 and it's not even close.... Franklin has a fun offense... and the Brown kid on defense is a beast... Nice to make a few new friends in the Franklin pressbox as well....
  9. Bourbon actually would have won this game by more... had 3 red zone possessions in the first half and did not score on any of them... Ben Layne had a 66 yard TD reception for Nicholas, while Bourbon scored on a 3 yd. TD catch from Taylor Myers on 4th and goal and on a Taylor Barnes 20 yard run... Congrats to the Bourbon kids... most of them play very hard every week... good to see them get rewarded for it
  10. Look forward to calling this game... both teams needs a win badly... I thought Bourbon lost a big chance last week, but with three straight home games they certainly need this win... If Bourbon can get anything going offensively, it would be a huge plus... they need Barnes to get outside the pocket (he didn't seem to have the same burst last week)... the defense was lit up against Estill (not many teams have been good against their rushing attack) but last week put together a solid effort... I'll go with Montgomery, but Bourbon will play more inspired than they did last week...
  11. Estill is really really good... they attempted 1 pass all night... and had no need to throw the ball... Benedict, Roberts, and Covey are all quality backs... and the freshman had a 61 yard TD run in the last minute of the game... they will atleast match last year's 9 wins... Bourbon had some good moments, and some bad... I thought they got away from Barnes's running in the second half... he had several really nice scampers in the first quarter... the passing game was non-existent except for a few throws... they were playing without RB Dustin Purcell... but he wouldn't have helped the D-Line... absoultely exhausted at the end of the game... they had a rough time stopping the run but most teams have against Estill the last year... The score is somewhat deceiving (22-7 throughout much of the 2nd half)... but without a shadow of a doubt Estill had the better team... Bourbon has a legit shot to go to 1-1 next week going into 3 straight home contest...
  12. That my friend is the line of week... Paris will hang, but I like Bellevue by a couple touches....
  13. Bourbon should be able to keep it close for a while... but they had trouble stopping the run last year (allowed 241.8 ypg) and that will likely hurt them.... I think this is a big game for Bourbon... this could propel them to a 5 or 6 win season... I know Massie has those kind of expectations...
  14. Paris loses Brooks, Hinkson, Davis, Forstyhe, Pacas... but they have the cornerstone and that is Head Coach Terence Brooks... as has been mentioned, aslong as he is there, they will play great defense, and will be tough to beat... I too am surprised Brooks has not been lured away... but he has deep ties to the Paris program and I do believe he is very happy where he is... Hinkson is a very solid player... have enjoyed watching and covering her...
  15. Interesting but decent hire IMO... I thought the quote by AD Lee Kendall in the article about "I wouldn't know what we would do if Jason didn't take the job" was very interesting... must have been the #1 guy through most of the process...
