I have learned today that a listener friend has passed. Martha Franks was a longtime loyal listener of myself and WWIC Radio. Many times over the years she would surprise us with a delicious homemade pound cake. We were so appreciative and grateful of her bringing these by. Me, Johnboy John Warr, Bobby Shackleford and Scotty Littrell would enjoy a slice of cake after our Bama Wildlife program. To her family, Angie and I extend our thoughts and prayers during this time. I have spent the majority of my life in Scottsboro/Jackson County/WWIC Radio. As I too get older, it saddens me to lose friends/listeners like Mrs. Franks. I feel as though I have outlived my listening audience. Things aren’t the same as they once were.

Over the last several days, I have been asked more times than I can count about my thoughts regarding the Scottsboro High School Flag Football program and my involvement with the radio broadcasts of the games. Let me just say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! It has been a tremendous learning experience for me - much like it was when I first started broadcasting Scottsboro softball. I was unfamiliar with the game of softball and was not sure I would be able to do it. Today, I wish I had started ten years earlier. Once I had broadcast the Scottsboro state tournament games in around 2012, I was hooked, same as with flag. I’m beginning to understand the game, the rules and the faster pace. I’m getting better with my broadcasts and look forward to each and every game. If you get a chance, attend a game and support the ladies. Everyone is learning together - players, coaches, fans, parents, and broadcasters. Next game, Thursday at home against Boaz.
