A recent post about hiring television-trained talent to help produce impactful video drew a "hey wait a minute" response from The Bakersfield Californian sports editor Zach Ewing.
It was actually a pretty good call on Ewing's part, because he wanted to remind me that last year he did the play-by-play for a radio broadcast of the CIF-Central Section Division I title game between Bakersfield Liberty and Clovis, and then wrote an award-winning game story on deadline.
Here are some samples of his play-by-play work:
One of the things that always bothered me about sportswriting were the writers that just sat in the press box taking notes. Zach is one of those journalists who can take exquisite stats, keep play-by-play, Tweet and call a game that is being simulcast on the radio and a website. That's a pretty good talent to have. During my four years at Bakersfield, I lost count how many games we worked together but it was a profound number of programming hours.
During that time, nearly every member of the TBC sports staff participated in a video production. Former sports editor Tony Lacava masterfully provided analysis on basketball games, Mike Griffith always participated in shows and with racing video, Trevor Horn is a man possessed when it comes to multi-platform delivery and Jeff Evans even efficiently called play-by-play of an entire baseball series between Cal State Bakersfield and Oklahoma. I'm pretty certain we had Ron Staff involved as well. Great team.
And here's a sample of Jeff Evans work:
