Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families. We hope you all have an enjoyable holiday.
Our first high school basketball broadcast on 106.9 FM was supposed to be tonight – Vanguard (Ocala) at Gainesville.
Unfortunately, late Monday afternoon, Vanguard basketball shut down all activities for a week due to Covid. According to GHS hoops coach Kelly Beckham, they are working on rescheduling the game.
That means that our first ‘radio’ broadcast of high school basketball will be Tuesday, Dec. 1, as Buchholz hosts Santa Fe. We also have two basketball DH’s at Trenton on Monday & Tuesday (Nov. 30 & Dec. 1), so there is plenty of hoops coverage on the way.
Check out our website for our girls basketball previews too. Boys previews are on the way.
We’re down to just two Alachua County football teams in the state playoffs and we will broadcast Buchholz’s home game against unbeaten Niceville in the Class 7A state playoffs. Broadcast info below.
“The Prep Zone” sports show at Sonic Drive-In is taking the week off for the holiday. We will resume next Wednesday, Dec. 2 (7-8 p.m.). Check out our new high school sports page on “I am Country” for our hoops schedule, show, and more.
Here is our broadcast schedule for the week of Nov. 23:
Friday, 6:30 p.m. (PREGAME) – High School Football, 7 p.m. (KICKOFF)
Niceville at Buchholz (Gainesville)
Radio: “I am Country” 106.9 FM Gainesville
