After six incredible years, with one of the best crews a man could wish for, Archer Communications was summarily dismissed as the producer for Ennis HS football.
The radio station that owns the rights has decided to go in a different direction, and produce the games in-house, with their own talent (the crew that called Navarro College last season).
Obviously we are very disappointed with "The Ranch"s decision. I personally have treasured working with athletic director Bill Cox, and head coach Sam Harrell, who I've known and respected for many years prior to my involvement with Ennis. I've also worked with some incredible talent. Micah Weaks has proven to be a top notch color commentator, and Ronnie Greer brought an insight to sideline reporting that is rivaled by none. Gilbert Santos and Rick Nelson always had great stats for us, and Leonard Novak made an art form out of working with the Archercom parabolic, bringing us some audio that just was incredible.
As for me, I'll be at another press box this fall. I'm negotiating with another station to cover some games for them, and we'll see if a deal can be made. And we are still producing Highland Park, but I already have a great crew calling those games.
To our fans in Ennis who have supported us for these last 6 years: Thank you! It has been my pleasure to be able to bring you the action. Hopefully someday we'll get invited back!
