RSN would like to say, Thank You to all the people that helped me for the school year 2023-2024. It was an exciting year in local sports. The following schools I want to thank for their access to their sporting events: Radford, Narrows, Pulaski Co., Auburn, Fort Chiswell, and Graham. Like to also thank, Floyd Co HS, Eastern Montgomery HS, Grayson Co HS, Carroll Co. HS, Geo. Wythe HS., Christiansburg HS, Blacksburg HS, Salem HS, Giles HS, Rural Retreat HS, Honaker HS, Galax HS, Chilhowie HS, and others. Thank you to all the football, basketball, baseball coaches, athletic directors that helped me this past seasons, as well as the stat keepers , announcers and clock operators . Thank you to the officials and their friendship. They do have a tough job to perform. The friendships hopefully -both ways- are so ,so very much appreciated. Thank you to Mike Williams and Matthew Hatfield for letting me cover sports for their publications. Hopefully the 2024-25 seasons will be just as exciting!!!
