Vinton, Louisiana · Est. 2026
Local media built for the communities it covers.
We're a Louisiana media company covering high school sports the way they deserve — every score, every story, every hometown — across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, on both sides of the Sabine River.
About the Company
Black Pot Media, LLC was founded in Vinton, Louisiana — a small town that takes its Friday nights seriously. We're a woman-owned company, and we built this business on a simple belief: the kids, coaches, and families of our area deserve coverage as good as anywhere in America.
Our sports network follows 120 high schools along the Sabine Line — 67 in Louisiana and 53 in Texas — with live scores, team and player pages, and stories written by people who know these towns because they live in them. Two states, one river, one pot.
"A big-city network covers your town from a distance. We cover it from the bleachers."
The Brands
The Black Pot Sports Network (BPSN) is our umbrella for local sports coverage — football in the fall, basketball in the winter, baseball and softball in the spring, with girls' and boys' sports covered equally, every season.
Our flagship: high school football across the Sabine Line. Live scores on the Sabine Line Scoreboard, 120 team pages, player profiles, and stories with Cajun flavor and a stat sheet to back them up. Home of the Black Pot Trophy, our Player of the Year honor.

Basketball, boys and girls, with the same treatment football gets — live scoreboard, schedules, and coverage for every covered school in both states.
Baseball and softball join the network mid-basketball season — same scoreboard, same depth, same hometown care for the diamond sports.
Our sister craft business: laser-engraved pieces on live-edge Louisiana wood, made in Vinton — the same commitment to local craft, in a different medium.
