Does anyone remember the guy at Crestview about 10 years ago (he's not there anymore)? Man he was the worst!

SHE may have been the WORST announcer at a high school game I have ever heard. She could not have shown Grove more disrespect as she did . Leipsic scores. she screams( LOUD) the full name. Grove scores you hear a little faint noise just the last name only.........That was the most disrespect I seen other than the LCC announcer years ago at the Grove-LCC football game...Nice class woman

How many people on here actually go to basketball games? High School, College, Pro? I mean this comment just sounds like a very upset fan that does not have a clue. I fail to see why shouting the home teams name louder after a made basket shows any kind of disrespect? I mean the game was at Leipsic right? So with it being a home game wouldn't you show more enthusiasm for them rather than the visiting team? Try watching an NBA game on tv. They always do that. It's not disrespectful, it's called being an announcer lol.

Badlands.. where do you have any room to talk about class? You are starting an argument over high school commentating. She is a volunteer, and does a fine job. You just need an excuse to why you lost. The Leipsic boys simply outplayed you. It was a special event and she tried to make it exciting. This is simple home court advantage; watch a college game, the announcers do the same thing. Grow up and get over it.

If so many folks are better coaches than those already in place... Safe to assume they are better MCs too... :-D Congratulations to Leipsic on a big win.

I'm going to have to agree with chocolatedrizzle2. Badlands, how old are we? Is it necessary for you to start a thread absolutely and utterly demeaning a person just because you thought she was a poor announcer? She is a volunteer and gets paid nothing for coming out every home game to announce. She does it for the kids not so someone can bash her for the way she speaks. I'd like to know what Leipsic name she pronounced wrong because i was there and didn't hear any mistakes. I understand there are hard feelings from the game but there is no excuse for posting that. Do you realize how bad she would feel if she saw that? Every game has home court favoritism, i repeat, EVERY GAME. You're just a bully.

Do these ppl get paid, at all ( or a nominal amount) ? I mean, it's not like they're getting paid a professional fee, correct?

The going rate for high school public address announcers is about $1000 per game...(Tongue planted firmly in cheek)

Badlands.......Please tell me this topic was just a joke

Was it Caldwell?

Been to Ft Recovery the last few years? Their girls announcer said " And the Right Team Won the Game" after they hit a jumper at the last second to beat my team. I did not realize that it was more than just a girls game and there was a right and wrong team.

[Stripes]

Really Badlands....you're picking on the announcer, and now I bet your going to complain that the gym was too "Pink" to play!

Congrats to Leipsic for a great and well organized "Hoops for Hope" evening. Heard today that over $7,000 was raised for CAP. National Anthem sang by both schools was beautiful and loved the starting line-ups with Andy Lynch. Heck even the referee's had Pink whistles. How can anyone complain after a night like that?

Leipsic Boys...you played one heck of a game...Congrats!

[hunt4em]

McComb announcer has got to be the worst. I wish you could just do away with announcing the games. A game without an adult trying to be cool over the PA, lets just watch the kids without adults trying to steal the show. Certain refs have the same problem but we won't go there.

[Badlands]

I already said Leipsic was the better team, Leipsic derseved to win...The fund raiser was awesome....Grove deserved to lose.....The pre game when they turned off lights was cool.....I just said give the away team a liitle more respect..THIS is not college or PRO,, like many of you like to compare this too.

Yeah typical Columbus Grove person crying about something- Not all,but most Col. Grove people are always complaining because things didnt go there way and always acting with no class at sporting events. Just congratulate the winner, and learn from mistakes to improve yourselves (not that hard)

Announcing loud, isnt that just another home court advantage?? Its hard to find a good announcer that will be motivating for both schools, even when there school is losing. Hermiller from PG is a very good announcer and gets excited for both teams, without over doing it.

I also thought the same thing about the Fort Recovery announcer, yeah to a point there could be a "right" and "wrong" team but thats a matter for an opinion and probably shouldnt be announced

OK your from Panpuke...By just saying the last name of PG announcer...I didnt say motivate both teams.... just show respect by announcing the full name of both players ...Why cant people grasp that.

[flounder]

B........

Why is everybody picking on you..........I don't think you deserve this at all.....and most schools would be better off if no one announced the game....the fans can view it for what it is....they do not need a commentator!!!!!!!!!!!!
