Laurie Porter got a taste of what she was getting into when she accepted an invitation to go on a date with Craig Way back in February 1984. Both college students at North Texas, they would go to a Friday night dinner on the square in Denton.

But that would have to come, Craig explained, after he called a Krum-Slidell boys' high school basketball playoff game. After all, Craig was the radio voice of the Krum Bobcats.
