Parishes pretty darn good

After listening to the broadcast of the Tahlequah Sequoyah versus the Eufaula Ironheads football game I have to say, the Parishes are doing a great play-by-play job.

Johnathan, his brother Andy and Luke Parish bring some great insight and laughter that’s comparable to the golden days of Monday Night Football with Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell and Don Meredith.

Fans fail to realize the preparation that goes into doing a great broadcast. The history, coaches, key players, records, injuries and more make up the model for doing a great job and the Parishes are doing that. Make sure to tune in Friday when the Ironheads travel to Sallisaw and make your own opinion.

1-2-3 break.
