Wilbur Lowe @ Carroll County does the girls games. His daughters came through the program so everthing isfrom the heart!

The person behind the microphone who announces your game can really add to the "home" atmosphere. Good ones make the game more exciting. Bad ones are out there too. Most of these people are volunteers.

 

The best I have heard is David Morris of Gallatin County. He is a true professional and volunteers for both the boys and girls programs.

 

Any others worth mentioning out there?

 

David Morris! Are you kidding me! I'm kidding! He does a great job.:thumb:

I was at a Campbell County girls basketball game and the announcer was okay, but it was way too loud. Someone please make a suggestion to them to turn it down a little!

 

Have to agree on the volume issue. It actually hurt at times. Gotta go with the best in the tenth. Bracken County's J.T.

I would have to agree! He has a little help once in a while!

 

His help is pretty good. I think they have learned well from the master.

Well said. He has his special way of saying "L a d y P a n t h e r s ". He seems to really care about the kids.

I'm never going to say that I can call a good basketball game, but I can't stand an announcer that thinks they have to give the play-by-play like a TV/radio announcer does.

 

It drives me crazy also and that's a pretty short trip.

I like the voice of the Dunbar Bulldogs. He also alternates games at the boys Sweet Sixteen.

I do agree about David Morris. Not overbearing at all. He also does the 8th Region Boys Tournament at Henry County (At least last year). Requested by Coach Gilley. The other folks at Gallatin do a great job also!!!!:thumb:

 

Agree with you all there. Love to go down there and hear him during the game. He makes it fun and more exciting. Enjoy it a lot.

"Welcome to the top of the Bluegrass" That's all you need to hear to know your at Gallatin.

I have always wondered, what does "top of the Bluegrass" mean?

Remember your KY geography

You know it is game time when Jamie Brunk and the fans (often for both teams) say Basketball in Booneville.

 

:thumb:That atmosphere is always awesome.

My geography teacher was not the best, but if it is the top county, wouldn't that be Boone County or is it the Bluegrass region. I'm so confused:creepy:.

I am not 100% sure but to my recollection the Bluegrass Region is a horseshoe that doesn't include Boone.

I do think the bluegrass region includes Boone, at least my 4th grader says it does. But, I like hearing "Mr. Morris" say it anyway.
