The winter portion of the WKTV sports broadcast schedule tips off this week with three basketball games on two nights.
Tuesday night the truck and crew will be heading to Kelloggsville where the Rockets will host the Potter’s House Pumas in girls’ basketball. Potter’s House had a 2-1 record heading into their Friday night game against Barry County Christian while Kelloggsville had a 1-1 record before their pair of games last week against Union and West Michigan Aviation. Game time is 7 p.m.
Friday night, the crew will be at South Christian where both the girls and boys Sailor teams will be hosting the Fighting Scots from Caledonia. There will be a special Wounded Warrior Project ceremony between the girls and boys game that will honor David Warsen who was killed in 2012, other servicemen and women that have sacrificed their lives, and an organization called Warriors Set Free, which is an organization for veterans that is run by veterans to help deal with PTSD, suicide, anxiety, depression, and other life issues. Game times are 6 p.m. for the girls with the boys scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start.
This week we also start our weekly sports wraps as supplied by the local high schools. South Christian’s wrap is here. West Michigan Aviation Academy wrap is here. If you would like to report weekly scores and highlights for your school, contact sports@wktv.org.
The rest of the tentative December schedule is:
Tuesday, Dec. 19 – Boys Basketball East Grand Rapids at East Kentwood
Friday, Dec. 22 – Girls and Boys Basketball Wyoming Lee at West Michigan Aviation
Currently, each Tuesday game will be broadcast that night on WKTV Comcast Channel 25 at 11 p.m. and repeat on Wednesday at 5 p.m. Each Friday game will be aired that night on WKTV 25 at 11 p.m. and repeat Saturday at 11 a.m. The games can also be seen on AT&T U-verse 99.
