As our live coverage of the 2026 fall sports season comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on another exciting season and, most importantly, recognize the many people who made it all possible.
First and foremost, THANK YOU to all of our fall sports sponsors! Your continued generosity and support are the backbone of Tinora Rams Live. Because of you, we’re able to bring high school athletics into homes, cars, workplaces, garages, and wherever fans choose to watch or listen. Your investment in local sports helps keep our broadcasts available to families, alumni, students, and fans near and far. We simply couldn’t do it without you!
This fall, Tinora Rams Live brought you 10 boys’ football broadcasts and 20 girls’ volleyball broadcasts, totaling 30 opportunities to follow the teams, athletes, and schools that make high school sports so special. From Friday night football under the lights to exciting volleyball matches throughout the week, it was another season filled with great competition, memorable moments, and plenty of reasons to cheer!
A special thank-you goes out to all the area Athletic Directors, especially Tinora’s own Jake Essig, for their accommodations, hospitality, and assistance throughout the season. We are fortunate to work with so many outstanding people in our area athletic departments. Their work often happens behind the scenes, but make no mistake: they are generally among the first to arrive and the last to leave. The countless hours spent organizing events, coordinating schedules, preparing facilities, and making sure everything is ready for student-athletes and fans deserve recognition. Their dedication to their schools and communities does not go unnoticed by us!
To all the wonderful people we met at each school, the countless individuals who stopped to thank us in person, the messages on social media, and the incredible letters we’ve received — your kindness and encouragement mean more than you know. Whether it was a quick conversation in the gym, a thank-you after a football game, or a message from someone watching hundreds of miles away, those interactions remind us why we enjoy doing what we do. We appreciate every single one of you!
RECOGNIZING OUR BROADCAST CREW
It takes a team to bring these broadcasts to life, and we are fortunate to have an outstanding group of individuals who donate their time, knowledge, and talents to make it happen.
- Coach Fairchild – Football analysis
- Logan Bailey – Game analysis and camera
- Keith Brown – Play-by-play
- Jason DeWyse – Camera and scoreboard
- Dr. AJ Fairchild – Broadcast director
- Michael Sebring – Volleyball play-by-play
Each member brings something unique to our broadcasts, and their contributions make a tremendous difference.
Dr. AJ Fairchild works tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring our graphics are outstanding and everything runs smoothly while we’re on the air. From coordinating production details to keeping the broadcast operating as it should, his work is an important part of what viewers see and hear.
Logan Bailey consistently delivers fantastic camera work and outstanding in-game analysis. His ability to follow the action and provide viewers with a great perspective adds another dimension to our broadcasts.
Coach Fairchild brings valuable football knowledge and insight to the broadcast booth. His analysis helps viewers better understand the strategies, decisions, and little details that can make a big difference in a game.
Jason DeWyse wrapped up his second season with us and continues to do a tremendous job. He has expanded his responsibilities to include camerawork and scoreboard operations, and has also produced several videos that went viral! His willingness to jump in wherever needed has made him an important part of the team.
Michael Sebring once again brought his extensive knowledge of volleyball and enthusiasm to our broadcasts. He does an excellent job explaining the intricacies of the game, including lesser-known rules, rotations, strategies, and the finer points that casual fans might otherwise miss. His insight helps make volleyball more enjoyable and easier to understand for our listeners.
And, of course, there’s plenty that goes into producing a broadcast that viewers never see. From setting up equipment and checking connections to preparing graphics, coordinating cameras, monitoring sound, and making sure everything is ready before the opening whistle, it takes a lot of work behind the scenes. We appreciate everyone’s willingness to put in the extra time to make each broadcast the best it can be.
OUR LISTENERS ARE THE BEST!
And finally, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who tuned in through our radio and phone app. We recorded nearly 1,800 listens this fall and well over 42K viewers!
That’s an incredible number, and we are grateful for every single person who took the time to listen. Whether you followed an entire game, checked in for a few minutes, or made us part of your regular Friday night routine, you helped make this season a success.
Even more exciting is the fact that Rams fans tuned in from across the United States! Distance doesn’t matter when it comes to following your hometown teams. Whether you’re right here in the Tinora community or hundreds of miles away, Tinora Rams Live helps bring a little piece of home to you.
Those numbers represent more than just broadcasts and statistics. They represent families keeping up with their student-athletes, alumni staying connected to their schools, grandparents following grandchildren, and communities supporting the young men and women representing their hometowns.
That’s what local sports are all about!
LOOKING AHEAD
We may have reached the end of the fall sports season, but we’re already looking forward to what’s next. Winter sports will bring another opportunity to showcase our area athletes, highlight outstanding performances, and continue supporting the schools and communities that make Northwest Ohio such a special place for high school athletics.
From all of us at TINORA RAMS LIVE, thank you for listening, watching, sharing, sponsoring, and being part of what we’re building.
We are proud to support local schools, provide a platform for local athletes, and help keep our communities connected through high school sports.
LOCAL SPORTS. LOCAL SCHOOLS. LOCAL SUPPORT.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE 2026 FALL SPORTS SEASON SPECIAL!
