Brett Pritchard entering 20th year of broadcasting Benjamin Russell football

Submitted / The Outlook Brett Pritchard, right, is heading into his 20th season broadcasting the Benjamin Russell football games. Since 2005, he has been joined by Randy Lee Jr.

“And he’s off! To the 40, the 30, the 20… he’s gonna make it… Touchdown Wildcats!”

It’s pretty clear after listening to just one Benjamin Russell football game on the radio Brett Pritchard, the play-by-play announcer for the Wildcat Football Network, is a Wildcat through and through. He was raised a Wildcat and he remained a Wildcat, and for the last two decades, Pritchard has gotten a chance to spread his passion for Benjamin Russell football around the state.
