I’m stepping away as announcer for the Harlem Globetrotters in order to stay in Pittsburgh as my mom continues her battle with cancer. It’s been an incredible journey and while this wasn’t how I wanted to end this chapter I know I’m making the best decision for my family.

You know what you rarely hear about the ‘72 Dolphins perfect season?
Their opponents were a combined 70-122, a .367 percentage the third-easiest schedule in the modern era...AND they didn't play ONE team with a winning record during the regular season.

It’s $700 to live stream a 1A-2A WPIAL basketball playoff game...$800 for 3/4A and $900 5/6A.
These are astronomical any year. But in a year where attendance is extremely limited & schools have lost money...this is just a grave disservice for students and fans in the district.

Aliquippa showed the spirit of competitive balance formula before the PIAA ever implemented a rule.
They VOLUNTARILY opted to play up as a way to play better competition and keep rivalries.
They’ve continued to be punished for doing exactly what the rule was intended to do.
