Terry Patrick will be working the broadcast for the McMinn County radio station. Terry is my former color commentator back in the early days when I was doing Powell High Football. David Clary will be doing the broadcast for the Oak Ridge station broadcast. Dave was one of my early mentors in radio, back when I first started and was doing a Blount County Game of the Week broadcast on a sister station of the old AM 1290. I learned much of what I know about radio from Dave. Dave has over 40 years experience in doing high school sports play by play. Both guys are class acts, first and foremost, and both guys are tremendous and professional broadcasters. I'll be streaming both tonight and listening to their work. Terry had some huge shoes to fill replacing the legendary Johnny Coffman at McMinn, but he's done a great job so far. You did a great job mentoring him! Great all around guy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard you on air but I'm sure you do a good job like The Voice of the Wildcats Clary and Terry Patrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud to call Terry a friend and colleague. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate to be in the same radio group as both of them when I first started. I'm not active in radio any longer. I retired after the 2017 state championship year at Maryville due to glaucoma, which makes it difficult for me to see at night, especially under bright stadium lights. Had a great run and festered a lot of great relationships with other radio and media guys and coaches, many of them still great friends today. I was fortunate to be in that position.

Well HTV since David works for the Braves and there is in a celebration parade in Atlanta today it's iffy whether he will be doing the ballgame tonite. Probably James Branson and Mike Sheehan will doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and I conversed earlier in the week and he indicated he would be doing the game tonight. Perhaps his plans had to change with his parade responsibilities.

Clary’s tweets are the quickest way to keep up with the OR score while at another game. I appreciate schools who have someone that takes care of that.

The local radio station is 101.7 if you can't pick up the Oak Ridge station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
