“Friday Night Lights, Local Legends” Chief's Chats EP 13
This week, I had the privilege of welcoming two familiar voices to anyone who loves high school football—Tony Kerr, longtime play-by-play announcer for the Russell County Lakers, and Shannon Hutchinson, the voice of the Wayne County Cardinals. We laughed, we shared some history, and we celebrated the tradition of high school football in both counties. 🏈 It was an absolute pleasure having these two join me, and I know you’ll enjoy the stories just as much as I did.
