And in a flash, with the graduation of the class of 2024, the Tinora Rams Live sports season has ended.
During the 2023-’24 sports season, we set a new record with 116 live events that brought Tinora sports to Ram fans scattered across the states, and into other countries.
We started this seasons journey way back on August 18, 2023 in Week #1 of the HS football season when the Rams kicked off the season at Tinora vs the Liberty Center Tigers, all the way through the Lady Rams softball season in the District Finals at Springfield that ended May 18.
Our final live events total below:
*Football – 11
*Volleyball -26
*Girls basketball -24
*Boys basketball – 22
*Softball -15
*Baseball -18
A big thank to you, the Tinora Rams fan base. To all those who listened, watched we appreciate each of you!
To all those who sent messages, personal cards, to those who would just walk up and say hello, we appreciate those as well! Everyone from Pittsburgh Sue to Vince, to Butch, to Wes, the Ackerman’s watching all over the country, to Jon in Arizona, to Tony Norden watching overseas, to the random guy who talked to me and coach Fairchild at Eastwood HS for 30 mins, we can’t name them all, but trust me when I say, each of you that stop and say hello, we truly appreciate it!
As always, I can’t express enough thanks to all the area athletic directors for all their cooperation and assistance. Everyone from Coach Buti at Defiance, Adam Huber at Kalida, Tyler Arend at Paulding, to Andrew Screptock at Springfield and so many other great AD’s around our area.
To our AD, Jake Essig, we can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us and everyone at THS, a great first year and it’s building into something very special.
I also owe a big thank you to the below behind-the-scenes people who volunteer their time to bring all these games to those who can’t attend. There is a lot of work that goes unnoticed to be able to broadcast each live event.
**Lady Rams softball coach Tony Fairchild for assisting with color commentary on football and he added both boys & girls basketball this season to his resume. Thanks, coach, we had a blast with each broadcast!
**Logan Bailey, who again assisted with football. Great work again, thank you, Logan!
Give Logan a follow on his growing social media sites, he does a great job supporting the area athletes.

**Dr. AJ Fairchild for assisting in many ways this season. Everything from football commentary to new graphics on the broadcasts, to the Hudl cams, a fantastic season of new things by the Dr. Thank you AJ!
**Even Dr. Kayla assisted in testing the new football stat program.
Please give them both a follow on their business page https://www.facebook.com/FairchildFamilyChiro
**Michael Sebring again provided the BEST volleyball coverage in the state if not the entire Midwest broadcasting area. Michael graduated this season to 105.7 The Bull for GMC Football, boys and girls basketball as well as Defiance Bulldogs baseball. He did a fantastic job!
And finally, a thank you to Kayleigh Runk, who joined us two seasons ago for softball. Kayleigh continued into this 2024 season as she volunteered her time bringing Lady Rams softball to those who couldn’t attend and did a fantastic job!
**And a thanks to Michael Hirn for voicing our commercials, nothing but the best, thank you!
