Where does the time go each year?
One day, teams are practicing, and the next, suffer a season-ending loss in the tournament, and in a flash, with the graduation of the class of 2025, the Tinora Rams Live sports season has ended.
During the 2024-’25 sports season, we broadcast 107 live events, bringing Tinora sports to Ram fans across the United States and beyond.
We were able to broadcast GMC Championships for the girls’ volleyball team, the boys’ football team, the boys’ basketball team, and the boys’ baseball team. The Tinora Rams brought home the Team GMC Championship for the school year.
We brought OHSAA State Volleyball, broadcast by Michael Sebring, to those who could not attend, setting a record for our radio broadcast with 997 listeners!
We started this season’s journey way back on August 18, 2024, in Week #1 of the high school volleyball season, when the Lady Rams kicked off the season at Tinora against the Eastwood Eagles. The journey continued through the Rams’ baseball season, which ended on May 24, 2025.
Our final live events total below:
*Football – 11
*Volleyball – 28
*Girls basketball – 16
*Boys basketball – 20
*Softball – 14
*Baseball – 18
A big thank you to you, the Tinora Rams fan base. To all those who listened and watched, we appreciate each of you! We have the greatest fans!
To all those who sent messages, personal cards, to those who would walk up and say hello, we appreciate those as well!
I want to express my sincere thanks to all the area athletic directors for their cooperation and assistance. Everyone from Coach Buti at Defiance, Coach Linder at Wayne Trace, Allan Gladieux at Archbold, to Jeff Haught at Hicksville and so many other great AD’s around our area.
So many fantastic venues!!! Defiance High School, Liberty Center’s Kip Kern Field, Memorial Park in Archbold, and the amazing field in Kalida, Holey Name Ballpark.
To our AD, Jake Essig, we can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us and everyone at Tinora High School in the past two years. So many great things coming as well!
At the top of that list are the tech folks we run into; anytime we can get help with our signal, it’s excellent! And at the top of that list is Mark Bly from Tiger Sports Live. Mark has gone out of his way to help us over the years; we can’t thank him enough. Heck, he’s even part of our team a few times a year!
Coach Renollet, we wish you nothing but the best!! You ARE Tinora baseball!! Thank you for all the help throughout the years!!
I also owe a big thank you to the people below who volunteer their time to bring all these games to those who can’t attend. A lot of work goes unnoticed to make each live event possible.
**Lady Rams softball coach Tony Fairchild for assisting with color commentary on football and again on both boys & girls basketball this season. Thanks, coach, we had a blast with each broadcast!
**Logan Bailey, who again assisted with football. Great work again, thank you, Logan!

**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!
**Dr. Kayla assisted in running our scoreboard graphics!
**Michael Sebring again provided the BEST volleyball coverage in the state if not the entire Midwest broadcasting area. Michael graduated last season to 105.7 The Bull for GMC Football, boys and girls basketball, as well as the Defiance Bulldogs baseball. He did a fantastic job!
And finally, a thank you to Deagon Begin, who joined us this season for softball. Deagon will continue into the 2026 season as he volunteered his time bringing Lady Rams softball to those who couldn’t attend and did a fantastic job!
