The 2010-2011
school year marks the seventeenth consecutive year that
Jon Fine Sports Productions has had the
privilege of producing and calling play-by-play for Denham
Springs HS radio broadcasts. All years, we have announced
Denham football. Last basketball season was the ninth straight
season (and twelfth all told) that we announced select Denham
basketball games and playoff games.
This football
season, we will be announcing the Denham Jamboree, all 10
regular season Denham games, and all playoff games. Broadcasts
will air on The Score, 1210AM, Fox Sports Radio, Baton Rouge,
with airtime at 6:02pm. All broadcasts can also be heard on the
Internet at this site: SportsGumbo.net (click Listen Live). Our
first broadcast is Thursday, August 26, as the Jackets play at
the East Ascension Jamboree against Donaldsonville HS.
Jon Fine is serving his eighth straight
year calling play-by-play for Denham Springs HS sports. He is
joined by Jim McChristian, who is
returning for his fourth season calling color commentary on
Denham football and basketball broadcasts. Our sideline
reporter, Chris Gordy, who will also
handle stats, returns for his second year. Other prominent
Denham announcers in our 15 years broadcasting Denham sports
have included Dr. Hunter Bond, Rick Delrie, Brent Dugas, Tommy
Krysan, Mike Neal and Damon Sunde.
Denham Springs
HS football and basketball broadcasts air on The Score, 1210AM,
Fox Sports Radio in Baton Rouge, a Clear Channel Station. Our
broadcasts have always aired on 1210AM—which has been The Score,
1210AM since 1998. Its predecessor was Christian Country,
Bayou, 1210AM—a station which was located on Hatchell Lane in
Denham Springs and was owned by Jeff and Nancy David.
This will be
our third year carrying Denham football games live on the net
(simulcast of radio broadcast) at SportsGumbo.net.
SportsGumbo.net also features Central HS
football, Episcopal HS football
games and the simulcast of Sulphur HS
football.
Jon Fine
Sports Productions, in addition to Denham Springs HS football
and basketball radio/Internet broadcasts, also produces
radio/Internet broadcasts for Central HS (WPFC,
1550AM, BR/SportsGumbo.net) and Episcopal HS (WXOK,

Dru Nettles Show (Thursdays, 7pm-8pm, broadcasting live from
Big Mike’s Sports Bar & Grill in Denham Springs, The Score,

Our 2010
Denham Springs HS Football broadcasts include a 58 minute
pre-game show, “The Live Oak Auto Glass Pre-Game Show”, which
features an interview with Jackets head football coach
Dru Nettles (by Jon Fine), the opposing
coach (by Chris Gordy), and a preview of Denham’s district
rivals’ games: Walker (Anthony Schiro) and Live Oak (Karl
Mears). Of course, Jon and Jim provide an extensive preview of
that night’s Denham Springs ballgame.
At halftime,
the “Garris Wilcox State Farm Insurance Half-Time Show” will
include a prominent Denham Springs sports personality
interviewed by Jon Fine, a great feature: “Yellow Jacket
Memories” with Randy Smith, plus Chris Gordy’s half-time
stats--brought to you by Generations Hospice. Just prior to our
half-time show, Chris will be on the field for a brief interview
with Coach Nettles.
Following the
game, tune in to “The Charter Home Health Post-Game Show”,
highlighted by a post-game interview with Jackets coach Nettles
(with Chris Gordy), Chris’ game stats—brought to you by
Generations Hospice, our “Sport-N-Center Player of The Game”,
plus reports from that night’s games of Walker (Anthony Schiro)
and Live Oak (Karl Mears). Jon & Jim will give a thorough
analysis of that night’s Denham game and a look ahead towards
the Jackets’ next ballgame.
When the
Jackets score, we’ll give you specifics on the “NAPA Auto Parts
Jackets Scoring Drive”. And, maybe the best part of Yellow
Jackets broadcasts: when the Jackets win, everyone eats for ½
off that Saturday at The Jambalaya Shoppe, across from Bass Pro,
in Denham Springs!!
