A new website dedicated to Blue Water Area athletics will be broadcasting at least two football games a week this fall.

Dennis Stuckey and Brady Beedon couldn’t have picked a better time to start their own broadcasting company focused on the local high school sports scene. 

COVID-19 concerns have forced the MHSAA to limit the number of fans who can attend games this school year. Now, more than ever, there’s a need for internet radio broadcasts to help fans experience some of the action. 

Stuckey and Beedon teamed up over the summer to create “Get Stuck on Sports,” a website that’ll host radio broadcasts of local preps games this school year. 

The duo also plans to release three podcasts a week, focusing on previewing high school games, analyzing recent games and interviewing coaches, players and school administrators. 

Their first podcast episode, which can be heard on their website, getstuckonsports.com, was released Tuesday afternoon. 

The website will also broadcast two football games this week. Stuckey will call the Port Huron and Fraser matchup on Friday at Memorial Stadium, while Beedon will give play-by-play of the Marine City and Warren Fitzgerald game the same night at East China Stadium. 

“There’s just not enough coverage for these kids,” said Beedon, 24. “There’s lots of passion and people who care about local sports in this area. They deserve more coverage, and they need more coverage. Especially with everything going on with attendance limitations. We want families to be able to listen to their kids playing.”

Right now, Stuckey and Beedon will focus its coverage on Port Huron, Port Huron Northern, Marysville, St. Clair and Marine City high school athletics. However, should their inaugural year go well, they hope to one day expand their broadcast coverage to include the Blue Water Area Conference schools, too. 

They plan to broadcast football, boys and girls basketball, hockey, baseball and softball. They have no interest in covering professional sports, such as the NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL, they said. 

So just who are the two men behind the microphone? 

Stuckey, 52, is a 30-year radio veteran who has spent the last 25 years at WPHM calling sports in the greater Port Huron area. He’s called games for each of Port Huron’s minor league hockey teams since 1995, which he estimates is about 1,300 broadcasts. He also estimates he’s done about 1,000 high school games. 

He grew up in Warren and attended Bishop Foley before going on to study at Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts. He got his first radio job in late 1991 in Caro. 

Stuckey left WPHM in July. 

“After I left the station, I thought to myself two things: One, who is going to cover sports around here in terms of live play by play? And, two, what am I going to do with my time?” Stuckey said. “I only do one good thing good and that’s play-by-play of live sports.

“With Brady on board with me, we decided we could do this for the whole school year. Between the two of us, maybe we can cover 100 games a year. … It’s going to be all about the high schools. Our tag line is ‘Get Stuck on Sports: Your kids, your schools, your sports.’ It’s just about high school athletics and high school student-athletes.” 

Beedon graduated from Marysville in 2015 and went on to have a five-year football career at Wayne State. He spent last year calling Port Huron Prowlers games and working as an assistant for the Vikings’ boys basketball team under coach Erik Schunk. 

When Beedon wasn’t busy at WSU, he would occasionally do color-analyst work alongside Stuckey during local games, so the chemistry is already there between the two. 

Beedon’s father, Roger, was a longtime assistant coach for the Port Huron Northern hockey team before retiring after last season. Beedon’s uncle, Ryan Mullins, is the current head coach of Port Huron’s football team.

“Get Stuck on Sports” encourages you to follow them on both Facebook and Twitter for regular updates about its broadcasting schedule and podcast releases. 

BRIEFLY: Capac will not be fielding a varsity football team this fall, coach Robert Novy confirmed to the Times Herald via text message on Monday afternoon. 

A reason why the team wouldn’t be playing in 2020 was not given, and Novy declined to comment. Messages left with school administrators weren’t immediately returned. 

Novy said the school will attempt to have a JV football team. 

The Chiefs, who were 1-8 overall in 2019, haven’t made the playoffs or finished with a winning percentage above .500 since 2011.
