The Southeastern Channel student sportscast, “The Big Game”, has been named a National Finalist for the 2019 College Sports Media Awards in Atlanta. The show is honored in the “Collegiate Student” division for “Outstanding Live Non-Game Production”. It’s the third year in a row that “The Big Game” has won CSMA national finalist recognition. Last year the sportscast was honored with two of the six finalist awards given in the same category for two different episodes. The Southeastern Channel was the only double nominee in the category. This year the March 29, 2018 episode’s sports opinion roundtable, “Pick and Roll”, was awarded. The sports talk segment is modeled after ESPN SportsCenter’s “Around the Horn” and “Pardon the Interruption.” John Sartori of Mandeville and Wesley Boone of Alexandria anchored the segment with Dylan Domangue of Houma serving as the guest expert. Freddie Rosario of Luling produced and directed the episode. Other university sportscasts named national finalists in the “Outstanding Live Non-Game Production” category were Arizona State, Ball State, Seton Hall, and St. Cloud State.
