The above photo features Bob and MaryKate Holden in the press box at Jameison Stadium at Grimsley High School. They were announcing for the scoccer game between Grimeley and Northern High Schools. The Holdens have been announcing at Grimsley’s home soccer games for approximately eight years- since back in the day when their own son played at the school.

They make a great team. MaryKate announces for the JV games while Bob uses the binoculars to verify uniform numbers to see who made what play. For the varsity games, they switch roles. Friday afternoon was just perfect for playing soccer and the calling really enhanced the game. You don’t want to overdo the comments; on the other hand, it is important to say enough that people can follow the game. Also, the Holdens do a nice job of saying the names of the players when they are involved in plays. Parents and players alike delight in hearing the names of the players called. Casual spectators (like us) appreciate it too. Attending high school athletics is a great way to spend a fall evening in Greensboro.
