ABOUT THE X SPORTS NETWORK
The X Sports Network began with a simple mission: to bring the excitement of local high school sports to fans across Southern Tennessee. What started as radio broadcasts of football, basketball, and baseball games for Lawrence County, Loretto, and Summertown High Schools quickly grew into one of the nation’s earliest pioneers in live video streaming of local athletics.
In 2014, we launched with a weekly live talk show spotlighting student athletes, coaches, and community sports stories. Just one year later, in the summer of 2015, we took our first major step into video broadcasting by live streaming the Babe Ruth World Series in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. That event’s overwhelming success proved what was possible and set the foundation for what came next.
When the COVID-19 pandemic limited attendance at high school games in 2020, our mission became more important than ever. Schools, parents, and fans turned to X Sports Network to keep the spirit of local sports alive. Our team worked around the clock to deliver live video coverage of every game we carried, ensuring that communities could still cheer on their athletes, no matter where they were.
Since then, we’ve expanded our coverage to include nearly every sport played in area schools: football,
volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, golf, and tennis. We’ve even streamed marching band competitions and NCAA Division I soccer matches at the University of North Alabama.
For us, it’s all about the athletes. We believe every student deserves to have their hard work, dedication, and achievements remembered and celebrated. Our broadcasts are more than just games; they’re memories, preserved for generations to come. Years from now, we hope former players will share these moments with their children and grandchildren, reliving the games that defined their high school careers.
We will always go the distance for student athletes and local sports across Southern Tennessee and North Alabama. Because this isn’t just about sports, it’s about community, pride, and the stories that bring us together.

OUR TEAM
Well... AJ Good is a pretty good guy. Since he hasn't turned in a bio that he wrote himself, watch this section... his wonderful coworkers will gladly do it for him. His story began in West Virginia... you know the place... where they sing a song that's actually about the western part of Virginia... and not about their own state...
