BLAINE LEEDS

Blaine Leeds was born August 13th 1969, and has lived in Clarksville for all but four years of his life. Blaine lives in Clarksville today and stays busy with his wife Jolie and their two sons Brandt and Brennan who go to Clarksville Public Schools.
 
Blaine is a practicing dentist in Clarksville and graduated with high honors from The University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in 1996. Dr. Leeds is a proud graduate of Arkansas Tech University in Russellville with a degree in Chemistry from 1991. Dr. Leeds graduated Summa Cum Laude from Tech and was named the Alfred J. Crabaugh award winner for the outstanding male senior student in 1991. Blaine met his wife Jolie as they served as the only husband and wife to succeed one another as President of the Arkansas Tech Student Body in 1990 and 1991.
 
Blaine loves all sports and is a rabid Razorback fan, as well as a die hard St. Louis Cardinal fan. His career in broadcasting began in the early nineties as he assisted Tim Swindle with the University of the Ozarks and long time Clarksville broadcaster Steve Rinke with Panther Basketball.
 
Dr. Leeds loves to spend time coaching kids. He has coached twenty-three different teams in ten years in the Johnson County Boys Club in baseball, basketball and football.
 
Dr. Leeds and his family are active members of the First Baptist Church in Clarksville and Dr. Leeds loves to sing. He is active in the music ministry at FBC and is a member of the band Beyond Walls, a group that plays rock, country and blues music with a faith based message. Beyond Walls is currently working on their first group of original songs.
 
Blaine likes to remind broadcast partner Kyle Helms at every opportunity that Kyle once coached him in baseball (indicating Helms is an old man).
 
Dr. Leeds played basketball for one year for coach Gary Thompson at Clarksville and was a part of three Panther football teams under Don Byrd, Gerald Cowell and Dave Ross that went 24-9 and made three consecutive playoff appearances. He also has fond memories of one season of tennis under then coach Robert Gibson and three years of baseball with Dave Ross and current panther coach Jake Hudson.
 
Dr. Leeds walked on and made the Arkansas Tech University baseball team under Dale Harpenau (Current UAFS Head Coach) but left the team before the season began to focus on academics.
 
Dr. Leeds father-in-law is long time Director of Athletics at Arkansas Tech, Don Sevier.
