Full Court SPHS Basketball Coverage on KSUN, 103.5 FM
All varsity SPHS boys’ and girls’ basketball games are now being broadcast, with home games on KSUN TV and 103.5 FM and away games on 103.5 FM.
All games are currently scheduled to begin at 7:15 PM but can be delayed due to junior varsity overruns. 
Handling the call for the boys’ games is Mike Mathison for his fifth straight year of basketball broadcasts -- and Getonn Harper for his second season. The girls' games will be called by Anthony Denu and Terrell Drewek for their third straight season.
The SPMC would like to thank its basketball sponsors for the 2018-2019 season: Woodman's, Prairie Lakes Dental, Monk's Bar and Grill, Culver’s of Sun Prairie, Concrete Lifting Technologies, Day One Pizza, Bank of Sun Prairie, and Wilde East Towne Honda.
Business sponsorships are still available and are critically important for the Media Center to continue to be able to broadcast games! Interested businesses are asked to call 837-4193 or e-mail Jeff Robbins at jrobbins@cityofsunprairie.com if interested. 
Go Cardinals!
