terms of our local high school sports productions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all goes well (and our local team keeps winning) we will do as many as 17 productions in any five-day period and will sometimes work six days a week (plus Sundays if there\u2019s bad weather and we get \u201cbacked up\u201d on playoff games).\u00a0 This does not include any Lafayette or any other events or happenings that we may be working on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately to help us out during this hectic time of year, we have been able to add an additional new voice to our high school basketball broadcasts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dieruff Varsity Basketball Head Coach Marlon Randall is joining us for select broadcasts this month and sharing his insights on local basketball and the current postseason action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before coaching in Allentown, he was a head coach at Pottsville HS and an assistant coach on the Reading boys basketball staff that won a state championship in 2017.\u00a0 Since he has prepared for, studied \u201cfilm\u201d on and has coached against many of these same teams during the past season, he gives a unique perspective on our local teams during the biggest games of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m sure he would rather be spending his \u201cMarch\u201d coaching his beloved Huskies basketball team in the district and state playoffs right now rather than sitting alongside yours truly, but he\u2019s done a great job with his first few games last week and we are very lucky to have his expertise and commentary as part of our new listing of ATVN announcers this winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, to help us with our postseason coverage of District XI and PIAA state wrestling, we are pleased to welcome Adriana Dias to join our announcing team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adriana made history this winter by being part of the first ever women\u2019s wrestling team at Cedar Crest College.\u00a0 With her first broadcast on the ATVN, she also became the first woman to announce a high school wrestling match in the Lehigh Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please join me in welcoming Marlon and Adriana to the Astound TV Network sports family!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>PROGRAMMING NOTE:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us this Thursday at 7pm for \u201cATVN
