As the summer moves on, I can't stop thinking about the unforgettable 2025–2026 school year I had the incredible privilege of experiencing. From August through May, I made so many core memories while calling 191 sporting events across 12 different sports.
⚾️ Baseball: 19
🏀 Basketball: 29
🏑 Field Hockey: 12
🏈 Flag Football: 4
🏈 Gridiron Football: 8
🏒 Ice Hockey: 38
🥍 Lacrosse: 18
🏉 Rugby: 2
⚽️ Soccer: 19
🥎 Softball: 8
🏐 Volleyball: 20
🤽♂️ Water Polo: 14
What made the year so special wasn't just the games themselves, but the people I had the opportunity to share them with. To quote Clarence from It's a Wonderful Life, "Each man's life touches so many other lives."
There were so many people who touched my life throughout the school year, and I want to say thank you to everyone who helped make it one I will always remember!
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer with family and friends.
Happy 4th of July, my friends! 🇺🇸

With summer in full swing, I'll be sharing extended highlight reels featuring my favorite calls from every sport I had the privilege of broadcasting during the 2025–2026 school year!
With so many of us (myself included) glued to our TVs watching the World Cup, I thought it would be the perfect time to kick things off with my favorite soccer calls from the 2025 season.
Celebrate the Fourth of July weekend and America's 250th anniversary with an all-new episode of Voices in the Game featuring Dan Barefoot, one of just 232 athletes selected to represent @TeamUSA at the 2026 Winter Olympics as a member of the @USABS Team.
In this episode, Dan shares his incredible journey to the Olympic stage—a path that began with a simple Google search. He discusses how he discovered the sport of skeleton, the training and dedication that led to his Olympic dream, the moment he learned he had qualified for Team USA, what it was like competing and living in Italy during the Winter Games, interacting with athletes from around the world, and the unforgettable experience of returning home after representing the United States on the world's biggest stage.
It was an honor to have Dan on the show and hear his inspiring story! Whether you love tuning into the Winter Olympics every four years or enjoy hearing incredible stories of perseverance and achievement, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

After taking a few months off due to my play-by-play schedule, Voices in the Game is back with an all-new episode featuring @OBIE_IUP, Director of Strategic Communications and Ideation for @IUPCrimsonHawk!
In this episode, Jacob discusses what it's like to serve as a sports information director for one of the premier NCAA Division II athletic departments in the United States. He shares an inside look at the day-to-day responsibilities of promoting and covering IUP Athletics, a program that enjoyed tremendous success during the 2025–26 academic year, highlighted by @IUP_WBB's run to the NCAA Division II National Championship Game.
He also discusses IUP's impact on the sports world, particularly through the accomplishments of Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti, who was at IUP from 2011 to 2016, and longtime play-by-play announcer Jack Benedict.
Beyond his work in athletic communications, Jacob shares his journey growing up around sports, how he broke into the industry, and one of his biggest passions: following the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Tune in for an inside look at the world of athletic communications and the people who help tell the stories behind college athletics!

On Thursday, I witnessed probably the craziest baseball game I have ever called.
It was the WPIAL 5A Semifinal matchup between Montour and Upper St. Clair. Upper St. Clair led 10-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th inning and needed just three outs to advance to the 5A Championship Game.
Did that discourage Montour? Not at all!
Montour battled back, scoring nine runs in the inning to force extras. After everyone finally caught their breath heading into the 8th, USC answered with three runs of its own, including a two-run home run.
Upper St. Clair survived to win the game and will now play for the WPIAL 5A Championship on Wednesday night against #10 South Fayette as the #12 seed.
Games like this are the definition of playing until the final out because a baseball game truly is never over until it’s over!
Welcome to Peterswood Park as we get set for the WPIAL 5A Baseball Semifinals this afternoon!
#3 Thomas Jefferson and #10 South Fayette will be up first at noon, with #8 Montour and #12 Upper St. Clair following at 3:30 as the four teams battle for a trip to EQT Park and the opportunity to play for the WPIAL 5A Championship next week.
We will have both games for you on the NFHS Network!
