Chip Waggoner, on air at FOX & LH Today
We hope you are, too.
As we prepare for another great season of Wildcat football, our new broadcast team is gearing up to bring you live coverage of all the games.
Leading the team is Chip Waggoner, who many in Lake Highlands will recognize from his work as a reporter for FOX 4 News.
Chip is also a long-time Lake Highlands resident with a history in sports broadcasting. So as we near kick-off of the 'Cats season opener against Mesquite next week, we thought we'd take a moment to officially introduce Chip to all our readers.
Chip and his wife Wendy currently call the Lake Highlands North neighborhood home and lived in the L Streets for a short time, as well.
The Waggoners have two children who attend White Rock Elementary and are members at Park Cities Baptist Church.
Chip is a TCU grad, whose background in sports announcing began during his college days in Fort Worth.
"My experience in sports play-by-play started as a TCU baseball announcer on KTCU," he says.
"My next opportunity came when I worked for KTLR and KHYI radio, primarily as the play-by-play man for the Rockwall Yellowjackets."
The early 90's found Waggoner covering playoff football in Forney and Pilot Point, as well as games for his high school alma mater, Trinity Christian Academy.
"I stopped after the 2001 season to dedicate more time to my family," he says.
"I am excited about getting back in the booth as the new play-by-play announcer for LH football on LH Today!"
Following the Friday night Wildcat games, upcoming Saturdays will most likely find Chip cheering on another of his favorite teams - the Baylor Bears.
What now? You thought he was Frog through and through?
"I know, I know," he says. "A TCU Frog cheering on the Bears?!?"
"My wife is a 4th generation Baylor grad, so that should explain a lot, but when TCU plays Baylor on September 18th, I'll be pulling for my alma mater in that one!"
Besides the Wildcats and the Bears (and occasionally those Frogs) most weekends Chip can be found coaching his daughter's soccer team here in the neighborhood.
He also enjoys his volunteer commitment to the board of directors for Camp John Marc, and working to raise funds for special needs kids through both the camp and Scottish Rite Hospital.
We are pleased to welcome Chip to the LH Today broadcast team as we begin our new live coverage of the Lake Highlands Wildcats.
GO 'CATS!
Be sure to tune in from the sports page broadcast link for Chip's play-by-play, assisted by color analyst and former LHHS Wildcat coach, David Hardt.
Game production team: Trevor Atkins, Steve Clary, Paige Mabry, Danny Meisenheimer and Woods Norcross.
See you at the Boneyard!
