WHS Sports Station Appeal

Now in their fourth year of bringing play-by-play action into the homes, and to places all over the world, to Wellsville sports fans, the guys are asking for help. Because of these guys and others, they have been able to bring games and other Wellsville events to an untold number of folks that can't be there otherwise. There are troops in our Armed Forces from the ville serving all around the globe that are able to listen in and get a touch of home. If they can't listen to it live many times they can go back to the replays. There are Wellsville natives living all across the country that can keep in touch with the old hometown. There are people who can't physically get out that are able to keep up with what is going on and there are those that can't make the road trips that want to follow the teams.

It started with a fellow by the name of Terry Brown with an idea he approached the Village Mayor with. It was considered a great idea that brought Wellsville to be noticed via the World Wide Web. Over the last four years it has evolved to be much, much more. Now they need our help.

It cost $50 a game just to broadcast them. That's not counting what it cost to film it and put it on the Wellsville Alumni web site. Right now they tell me if they can't raise more money before the season ends they won't be able to bring us two of the last few games left for the boys basketball games. This team has a good chance to win the district and move on. They are that good. If that happens it will cost a minimum of $100 per game and up to around $200 to film it. Not one cent goes to the guys that bring us the games. They don't even take gas money. The cost we mentioned all goes for fees for the privilege of bringing us the games.

What they have done so far was made possible with a list of generous sponsors but you can only go to the well so often. This is where you and I can help. Won't you please help with whatever you can afford. It doesn't matter if it's only a dollar, $5, $10 or whatever you can spare. Every little bit helps.

You can send your donations to MCS, 1200 Main St., Wellsville, OH 43968. Make checks out to MCS or WHS Sports Station. We promise you every bit of your donations will all go to fees to bring us the games.

Shown here, from the left, is Roger Miller on the phone, Mayor Joe Surace and Bud Ceneviva. Bud tells me he made these guys what they are today! Sparky Miller and Terry Brown handle the back ground stuff. They love what they are doing. They do it for the kids. Won't you consider helping?
