FOUNTAIN CITY, TN (WLAF) – Fans traditionally sit near Josh Parker’s broadcast location so they can hear his entertaining shenanigans first hand when he calls a Campbell County basketball game over WLAF, and Karlie Whited was among them from a very young age. That is until this season, because Whited now suits up for the Lady Cougars.
It was January 29, 2016, when Campbell played at Central, and I surprised Josh Parker with a “Cha-Ching” T-shirt. The idea came from Whited, the then Caryville Elementary School basketball player. She loved to hear Parker shout his signature “cha-ching” when Campbell County made a three point shot.
On Saturday afternoon, Whited and her Lady Cougar team will play at Central exactly six-years to the day Parker received the first “Cha-Ching” T-shirt. Campbell fans would love to hear “cha-ching” a lot tomorrow in the district match-up.
Broadcast time for live radio, television and internet coverage of Campbell at Central is 1:20pm Saturday over AM 1450 and FM 100.9 WLAF radio. The live telecast will be here over www.1450wlaf.com, WLAF-TV 12, Facebook, YouTube, Roku TV and Amazon Firestick. The Lady Cougars game starts at 1:30pm followed by the Cougars and Central at 3pm.
