Clary, Brodnax, VA Typically calls fielded by television stations are complaints about programming, but when it comes to high school basketball, the only calls we’re getting are in praise of coverage. “ Just wanted to thank you for telecasting all of the VHSL championship basketball at VCU. Even though I attended most of the games, it was good to know that others that could not attend had … stations throughout the state to watch all of the games. I would like to see you telecast the games next year .” Rudolf Johnson, Richmond, VA
