At Valley games, Audio-Video Class students are encouraged to join me for play-by-play and/or color commentary.  Valley High School junior Jeff Shutak (left) and senior Brian Hetrick have volunteered so far.  The Club is headed by Bob Morrow.
A relaxing moment during a recent game.
I was priveleged to do the play-by-play of the first game ever at the new St. Joe's Gymnasium in Natrona Heights, Pa.  (12/16/08)
The addition to this well-respected Catholic School is currently a work-in-progress and will greatly benefit its students in other sports as well as basketball.
The construction of this $3.5 million facility was through public funding without cost to any taxpayer.  Previously, St. Joe's had to rent a nearby facility for its indoor functions.  
With this new facility, "Nomads No More".

Valley High School graduate Jeremy Smith, now a sophomore at St. Vincent College, joins me for color commentary at a recent St. Joe's boys game over the Christmas break.  Jeremy is a former Valley High School Audio/Video Club member.

Jeremy has worked behind the scenes in college radio & television, and was a natural for his assignment that evening.
