Tune in to WRIV Friday, Saturday

If you've ever attended a Riverhead football or boys basketball game, you may have noticed longtime radio announcer Pat Kelly calling the play-by-play for WRIV. The Blue Waves have been lucky to have a radio presence for many years now, giving fans a chance to stay close to the action when away from the gym.

Well, there's a special treat Friday and Saturday. North Shore Sun editor Grant Parpan is making his radio debut, filling in for Kelly for two games: Friday at Hills West and Saturday vs. Deer Park. Originally supposed to do one game, Grant got an added bonus when snow today forced Riverhead's game to be postponed. Destiny, perhaps?

So if you get a chance, tune in to 1390 on the radio or log on to www.wrivonline.com to listen to the action. Friday's game starts at 4:30 p.m. and Saturday's at 3 p.m. I'll likely head down to Saturday's game to provide Grant some assistance with stats. And he's currently looking to recruit help for Friday's game. Interested parties can e-mail him: gparpan@northshoresun.com.
