What was the score of this game? It started at 2, correct?

3A: Soddy-Daisy over Dickson County 2A: Giles County over Unicoi County 1A: Forrest over Davidson Academy D2: Brentwood Academy over Father Ryan These games should be absolutely thrilling! If I didn't have exams/work/all kinds of stuff going on, I'd definitely be in Chattanooga! Here's to having Spring Fling in Nashville next year!

As we work to revive this thread, how about some positive PA talk? There may be some AWFUL PA announcers around (at least at 1 school), but who are some of the really good ones you've heard? It doesn't matter what sport it is...who are the best PA announcers around? I enjoy listening to the guy who does BGA baseball games...he is exceptional. Any other opinions??

This is a HILARIOUS thread!! I've enjoyed it for what, almost 3 weeks now?? It was worth every minute. Here are my 2 cents: Announcing is not essential in high school sports, obviously. It is a bonus. And when that "bonus" is taken advantage of by the announcers, it should be taken away. The fans don't NEED to hear announcers for the game to go on -- it is a convenience. But when that convenience obstructs the players' ability and the fans PEACE OF MIND (!!!) then it is no longer a convenience. So Boyd Christian fellows, while you probably mean no harm and have a great time announcing what you see (and hear, feel, think, smell, taste.....), you are messing up the players and fans you are supposed to be serving. As an aspiring announcer, I love what I do and want to do it well. Only people with similar desires should be allowed to step in front of a microphone and have their words amplified in front of dozens of people. Common sense tells us that. So Boyd, get somebody who cares!! Then EVERYBODY will have a fun day at the ball field, not JUST the announcers!!
