A Virginia Beach native, Matthew Hatfield has become synonymous with the sports scene in Virginia primarily through his work with Cox, VirginiaPreps.com, ESPN Radio 94.1 and now Hometown Sports Productions.
Matthew co-hosted a television show entitled Sports Report on Cox from 2011-16 in addition to serving as an on-air game analyst for select basketball and football broadcasts for Cox and the now defunct Hampton Roads Sports Network.
Hatfield joined VirginiaPreps.com - rated the #1 High School Sports Site on the popular Rivals.com network powered by Yahoo! Sports - in December of 2004 and became the site's Publisher in November of 2016. Since then, he's covered football and basketball statewide for the web site while forming the popular VirginiaPreps.com Basketball Classic. That event has drawn many of the top teams and players from around the state for over 15 years, doing so in front of six sellout crowds.
In 2010, Matthew was hired by Max Media and co-hosted High School Sports Talk Presented by VirginiaPreps.com every Saturday at 10 AM with Coach Ed Young on ESPN Radio 94.1. A new show Hatfield hosted - The 757 at 6 - debuted in September of 2018 and aired weeknights from 6-7 PM on ESPN Radio 94.1 until August of 2020. Later that month, he returned to the weekend slot in hosting 757 Saturday Sports Talk from 10 AM to Noon on ESPN Radio 94.1.
Hatfield now co-hosts 757 Saturday Sports Talk weekly with Coach Young on CoVA Sports TV, which can be heard and seen on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, VirginiaPreps.com and other various platforms.
Since 2021, Hatfield has served as the play-by-play voice of the Old Dominion University Women's Basketball Team. He's also done PxP for the Big Ten Network Plus for its Battle of the Beach Field Hockey along with a host of events for soccer, lacrosse and field hockey at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex.
Periodically, Matthew is a contributor in print for the Suffolk News Herald, Farmville Herald and Smithfield Times. He's also served as a contributor to Tar Heel Illustrated, the University of North Carolina team site on the Rivals Network, and periodically provides stories for the ACC Sports Journal, their annual magazines and ACCSports.com.
