The KPTR.com Story. . . . . . . Centralia, Illinois. The year 2000. The Centralia Holiday Tournament, a 16-team boys basketball tournament in the quaint basketball hotbed in southern Illinois. Mike Cooper, Ken Opperman, Eric Opperman, and Matt Cooper talked at McDonald's about how they wished they could broadcast Bartlett basketball like numerous small town radio stations, including Centralia's WRXX, do for their high schools. And so the dream began. Beginning in 2006, all Bartlett Panther Broadcasts were simulcast on both KPTR and WVWT and we formed our second sister station, KTSQ-The Sports Quest-to cover other schools activities. In 2008, The SkyBox Broadcasting International Network was formed in order to expand the coverage of exciting Secondary School and College Sports. In 2011, we formed our third sister station, WMPQ.us which is located in Arlington, Tennessee and covers the Arlington Tigers. KPTR.com is the Flagship Station of SkyBox Broadcasting International and still is The Voice of the Bartlett Panthers. As of 01/29/12, KPTR.com has broadcast 887 Bartlett events since that first night at Harding Academy in November of 2002. We have broadcast events in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, and Illinois and we have had listeners contact us from most of the 50 states, as well as Canada, Central America, The Middle-East, Afghanistan, China, and The Russian Federation. As of 01/29/12, KPTR.com/WVWT.com/KTSQ.com and The SkyBox Broadcasting International Network have broadcast a total of 958 sports events and a grand total of 1,221 events. The goal of KPTR.com, WVWT.com, and KTSQ.com, as well as that of the SkyBox Broadcasting International Network, is to highlight the hard work of the dedicated student athletes and their coaches, along with the sacrifices of their parents and other family members, in order to achieve the great things they do and to provide a media outlet for these outstanding individuals. The motto of SkyBox Broadcasting International is: "It's all about the kids".

BARTLETT VS. ARLINGTON (Broadcast not available for this game)
The top two teams in District 14-AAA, Arlington and Bartlett, began their two-game series last night at Elrod Field. A capacity crowd witnessed a great pitching match up, with Bartlett’s Chandler Hawkins and Arlington’s Brady Bramlett taking the mound. Hawkins started the top of the first inning with a strikeout to Jordan Barnes, but trouble brewed soon afterward. The next batter, Chase Hamilton, would hit a solo homer to right-center field to put the Tigers on the board first. Of the next six batters after the homer, Hawkins walked three and hit two, leading to three more Arlington runs. The Panthers first inning started with a Nick Dawson hit-by-pitch and Max Allen reaching on a fielding error. Graham Thompson brought Dawson home on an RBI single and Allen scored on a passed ball during Bobby Holder’s at-bat. The Arlington lead was now cut to two. The Tigers second inning started the same as the first, with a Barnes strikeout, but trouble would come again. After a Hamilton walk, Krammer Hollenbach delivered a two-run homer to give the Tigers a 6-2 lead. The Panthers answered back in the bottom half of the inning, with Dylan Chipman scoring on a Dawson sacrifice fly. This would be the last run scored in the game, as the Tigers won 6-3. Hawkins finished the night with ten walks, three hit batters, and struck out five batters through six innings of work, earning his first loss of the season. Bramlett, a junior and Ole Miss committee, pitched a complete game and struck out eleven. After Dawson’s sac-fly, Bramlett retired fifteen straight Panther batters, until Chipman doubled with two outs in the seventh inning. The two teams meet again tonight at Arlington at 6 pm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
