2022 was my 11th season as a member of the Fyffe Red Devils broadcast crew, 9th as play-by-play, & my fire is still going strong. I have, once again, submitted my demo for judging to be the ABA Sportscaster of the Year. Listen at the link below. β¬οΈ

We got a team in North Alabama youβd enjoy in the Fyffe Red Devils!
Top ranked team in 2A football!

I thought about my good friend, the late Ronny Shumate, during our broadcast last night. He always joked with me that Fyffe didn't know what a pass was. After Fyffe kicked it's 1st field goal of the season last night, my stats analyst said that was something more rare to see at Fyffe than a pass in the air. My mind immediately went to Ronny, and I heard his voice in my head.
"Does Fyffe even know what a pass is? Those boys coming out of that hatchery they got up there only know how to run and tackle."
I heard that and couldn't help but smile while shedding a tear. I miss my friend, my brother. I join so many in celebrating his birthday and memory. I love you, Ronny.

The Red Devil Sports Network sends out our BEST WISHES to Coach Bryant and the Fyffe Lady Devils Volleyball team!
The Lady Devils will play in regionals in Hoover at approximately 5:00 pm tonight! Go get'em, ladies!
Oh my word. At this point, I am not surprised. Not. One. Bit.
These types of games have become too commonplace under Kalen DeBoer. Uninspired, disinterested, beyond lackluster. Terrible, inconsistent, predictable play calls by Grubb. Womack's defense is softer than Charmin and he "supposedly" had one of the best secondaries returning in the country. Just pathetic.
This! π All you #CharminSofties can change the channel!
Georgia earned this one, but good grief the @SECOfficiating was HORRENDOUS both ways!
Someone tell Gus Johnson that this Indiana team is not the national champions. I don't care if it's Indiana, Alabama, Ohio State, or anyone. No team this season has done anything, yet.

Per head football coach Ian Richards, Section's home game with Jackson County rival North Sand Mountain, scheduled for Friday, has been moved to Thursday (Oct. 15).
I certainly hope I'm wrong about 1 of these games
Last night, as the Fyffe Red Devils celebrated a 54-0 win over Sand Rock, I somewhat quietly celebrated a milestone in my broadcast career. Last night was my 200th game as a member of the broadcast team for the Fyffe Red Devils and @RDRSSportsNet. I chose not to say anything until the very end of the broadcast because I have always tried to operate the show, and now our company, as a tool to promote and support others with no selfish will or intent of gain. But I would be lying if I said that it is not a blessing to me to get to do this every week. It is an honor and a privilege to serve this community. I am forever grateful π.
Coach Kelly of @JSUGamecocks is all class! He just ran onto the field to a KSU lineman who went down to a nasty leg injury. Screaming in pain, Coach Kelly grabbed his hand & tried to comfort him.
I met & talked with Coach in his office last year. He is a man of high character!

REGION STANDINGS!!
With only 3 weeks remaining in region play, let's take a look at the Class 2A, Region 8 standings as of October 2nd.
Mathematically, Fyffe and Collinsville have locked up a playoff birth. It's a matter of seeding now. Pisgah has not, yet, clinched a playoff spot as they still have some work to do. A win Friday night makes them playoff bound. That would only leave 1 slot left with Ider, Sand Rock, and North Sand Mountain all vying for that spot.
Hey @CollegeGameDay, @spann SHOULD BE the guest picker next Saturday! He's done so much for this state & her people. The guest picker should be someone who has something to do with the place you do the show from. Spann is easily one of the most recognized voices & faces in AL!
So @CollegeGameDay will be in Tuscaloosa Saturday. Iβm available as a guest pickerβ¦ But I donβt have my hopes up.
