When the Legacy Sports Network launched, we made a promise to build a legacy one game at a time. As a catchy slogan, it was easy to come up with, but to everyone involved with the LSN, it was more than just a catchy slogan.

Our goal was literally to create a legacy of entertaining, top-quality broadcasts of your favorite prep and college athletic events.  That goal still motivates every one of us each day.

But we also understood that it was not our birthright to assume we’d be handed anything. We knew it would take a lot of hard work. To attain our goal of building a legacy, we’d have to also prove ourselves one game at a time. We were willing to do that–and still are.

So, when we see the hard work and diligence pay off, we take a minute to recognize and celebrate it.

This weekend marks the beginning of a working relationship that Legacy Sports Network has established with HoopTV.net and Fox Sports. We are pleased to be providing on-air broadcasting talent and behind-the-scenes production personnel (in the form of camera operators) for the HoopTV/Fox Sports broadcasts of the UIL State Volleyball Championships.

When you tune in to Fox Sports’ coverage of the 2009 UIL Volleyball championships from San Marcos this weekend, it’ll be LSN voices that you’ll be hearing and LSN people delivering the pictures.

From the 5A matches, featuring Cinco Ranch, Austin Westlake, Georgetown and Amarillo, to the 1A contests, featuring Bronte, Lindsay, Louise and Normangee, we’ll be there to help bring the finals to you.

And as I mentioned, this is only the beginning. We look forward to the days and weeks ahead and many more opportunities to work alongside these groups to provide you with quality broadcasts of your favorite prep teams.

We continue to work on and value our relationship with TAPPS, through our sister group, TAPPStv.com. And as the weeks and months progress, you’ll also see some additions to our UIL and NJCAA coverage as we continue to expand in order to become the standard-bearer for quality audio and video athletic productions.

These aren’t just hollow words and empty promises. We are extremely proud to be adding to our legacy by being a part of the team that makes this season—and many to come—a memorable one.
