John Dale does an outstanding job as the voice of the Tigers. He has done nearly all sports for us and he brings a level of professionalism that you don’t find at the high school level. I get comments from opposing fans frequently that we have a unique and highly entertaining game experience and that is primarily due to John’s abilities behind the mic.
- Matt Ortman, Blue Valley School District Director of Administration
John always brings a high level of professionalism to our game day presentation. He not only has consistently excellent delivery, but also looks for ways to improve copy to provide the best possible impact for those at the game.
