OPINION: The Best 10 that I've Seen
With high school football rapidly approaching, I look forward to being on air for my 12th season. It all began for me in 2012 as a junior at Boiling Springs High School. At the time, Bulldog Football games were broadcasted on ESPN Spartanburg with Tom Dixon and Phil Cox. I began by keeping stats for the broadcast crew and that is where my story started. The next year, I went to the field as the sideline analyst for what was an internet broadcast for the next 7 years. In 2019, I left UpstatePrep-Cast for ESPN Upstate where I became the Voice of the Byrnes Rebels for the next 3 years. I was not involved in the fall of 2022 as I was living in Dallas, Texas. In 2023, I returned to the field as the sideline analyst for the WZZQ broadcast at Gaffney High School. After joining The Fan Upstate (previously ESPN Upstate) full time in March of 2024, I am back serving as the Play by Play Voice of the Byrnes Rebels for my 4th season.
