She was one of ten finalists selected out of over 20,000 hopefuls competing for a spot on the show.

She is currently nominated for two Texas Music Association Awards, Female Artist of the Year and Song of the Year.

Scott Deming started his own marketing and advertising company called RCI in 1983. RCI eventually grew into a multi-million dollar organization servicing Fortune 500 companies and many other medium to large corporations across the country. Scott and his firm helped their clients successfully grow their businesses and beat their competition with renegade branding, sales, customer service and communications programs. Not surprisingly, it was this very same progressive thinking that helped Scott's firm succeed over a twenty-plus year period and achieve many awards, such as The Business Journal's "Most Inspiring Business of the Year."

Dick Enberg is celebrating his 50th year in broadcasting. He has reported at football games in weather so frigid that his coffee froze before he could drink it, been challenged to a fight by an irate baseball player, led the Notre Dame band in a rendition of "The 1812 Overture," and been threatened with ejection at Wimbledon because he was shouting too loudly into his microphone. Those stories and hundreds more are told in his book, "Dick Enberg: Oh My!" Told with wit and candor, he not only relives some of sport's greatest moments, but takes readers into the booth and behind the camera.

Dick now calls play-by-play for CBS Sports' coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship and joined CBS Sports in January 2000 as play-by-play announcer for the NFL on CBS, college basketball and the U.S. Open Tennis Championships.
