State
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Continuing its long-standing support of
Tennessee Tech athletics, Cookeville television station WCTE TV has
announced plans to air eight Golden Eagle basketball games from
Eblen Center during the 2013-14 season. The station's program
lineup includes four women's games and four men's games.
Program producer/director Rick Wells announced the program
schedule, which begins next week and runs through mid-February.
The first game to be televised will be Thursday night, Jan. 30,
with the men's contest against Tennessee State, with tipoff slated
for 7 p.m. The cameras will be aimed at the action for both games
Saturday (Feb. 1) during a doubleheader against Belmont, and also
on Monday night (Feb. 3) for the women's game against Tennessee
State.
"Our entire staff is excited about the opportunity to continue to
televise Tennessee Tech basketball this season, and we hope to
provide the best coverage possible," Wells said. "This season
promises to be extremely exciting with both teams right in the
thick of the hunt for OVC championships, and being able to provide
television coverage should add to the excitement."
Desiree Duncan serves as the Executive Producer of the telecasts.
Local sports personality Buddy Pearson will call the play-by-play
for all eight games, with color commentary from two familiar and
informed voices -- former men's coach Frank Harrell will provide
analysis of the men's games, while Hall of Fame women's coach Bill
Worrell adds insight during the women's action.
