If you are looking for WWIC AM1050 radio owner and voice, Greg Bell, on any given Friday afternoon between now and the end of May 2025, chances are you\u2019ll find him behind the microphone, broadcasting Scottsboro football, Scottsboro basketball, Scottsboro softball, or NACC Lady Mustangs softball. \u201cPlay ball!\u201d Bell exclaims. This year when the Friday night lights come on, Bell \u2013 widely known as the \u201cVoice of the Wildcats\u201d and stat-keeper extraordinaire \u2013 will begin his 38th year of broadcasting Scottsboro Wildcat football.
\nOn the Thursday prior to each game, Bell will continue to host his weekly Scottsboro Football Coaches Show. The show is set to return this Thursday, August 22 as Bell begins his 15th year hosting the show.<\/p>\n
Bell says, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that 2024 marks our 15th year. Some of the freshman on this year\u2019s team probably weren\u2019t even born yet when we started the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell says the idea for the weekly coaches show begin with a lunch meeting with Swane Morris, who was hired to coach the Wildcats in 2010. \u201cI remember it like it was yesterday,\u201d Bell said. \u201cWe had lunch at Triple R BBQ. He showed me the new, white uniform jerseys for that season. We discussed a live, weekly radio program, and he jumped at the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first couple of years, the show was held at the radio station studio. \u201cWe had me, Coach Morris, Robbie Copenhaver, Bradley Potter and a board operator. Bradley\u2019s wife, Aubree, would prepare finger foods for everyone, and when the show was finished, we would all sit around, eat and just talk football. It was great,\u201d Bell recalled.<\/p>\n
Bell had not yet considered an off-site location for the show until Jefferson\u2019s opened and their management inquired about hosting the show there and inviting fans, players and cheerleaders to attend. \u201cIt was a great atmosphere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Over the years, the show has been broadcast from WWIC Radio\u2019s studio, Jefferson\u2019s, Margarita\u2019s, KC\u2019s BBQ, and from the annual homecoming bonfire and pep rally. Five different head coaches have been part of the show: Swane Morris, Patrick Nix, Don Jacobs, Cris Bell, and now first year head coach Tyler Vann. Bell says, \u201cRegardless of the location of the show, the name of the head coach, or the color of the helmets and logos, the one constant is everyone\u2019s love for the black and gold of Scottsboro Wildcat football.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s coaches show will be broadcast live from the Black and Gold room of the Meadows-Morris Field House at Trammell Stadium beginning at 5 p.m. Players, cheerleaders, parents and fans alike are invited to attend the broadcast. \u201cI am excited about working with Coach Vann as the show enters year 15. He is one of the great, young coaches in the high school game, and he will bring a lot to the program,\u201d said Bell.<\/p>\n
After the game broadcast each Friday night, listeners will once again be able to tune in to the Clarion Friday Night Football Scoreboard Show on WWIC. The show will feature Karson Treece, Bradley Potter, Scott Matthews and others each week as they discuss scores and talk of both high school and college football.
