WSMV-TV’s Rudy Kalis Combines with Vanderbilt’s Julian Terrell To Grab Media 3-Point Shooting Title The duo of veteran television sportscaster Rudy Kalis of WSMV-TV Channel 4 and Commodore junior forward Julian Terrell combined for six 3-pointers in the final round, claiming the 2004 Media 3-Point Shooting Contest Championship prior to the Vanderbilt men’s basketball practice on Friday. The contest featured 15 members of the Nashville media randomly paired with members of the men’s basketball squad. Head Coach Kevin Stallings and former Commodore and current Video Operations Director James Strong also participated in the event. Kalis’ consistency beyond the arc was unmatched by his peers. Terrell also made numerous treys, including one that broke a tie to send the pair to the finals. The Kalis-Terrell tandem made 6-of-10 attempts in the final round to outlast the duo of The Tennessean sportswriter Bryan Mullen and senior guard/forward Corey Smith. Other groups that advanced to the semifinal round included The City Paper sportswriter Tony Lane and freshman guard Alex Gordon; WTVF-TV videographer Brian McKeegan and junior guard Mario Moore; and WTVF-TV sportscaster Eric Yutzy and junior forward LaBraun Andrews. Kalis received an autographed Vanderbilt game jersey for his victory. 2004 Vanderbilt Men’s Basketball-Media 3-Point Shooting Championships Additional Participants: Mike Strasinger (The City Paper) and Shan Foster; Charlie Miller (Athlon Sports) and Jason Holwerda; Mitch Light (Athlon Sports) and Alan Metcalfe; Alex Kwak (Vanderbilt Hustler) and Head Coach Kevin Stallings; Josh Cooper (Vanderbilt Sports Weekly) and DeMaree Carroll; Chris Lee (VandySports.com) and Dan Cage; Aaron Solomon (WSMV-TV) and Dawid Przybyszewski; Brad Golder (WTN) and Derrick Byars; Taylor Smith (Vanderbilt Hustler) and Ted Skuchas; Paul Jones (WZTV-FOX) and Video Operations Director James Strong. |
