You have got to be kidding???

First of all, JP White was never a PA (public address announcer). He was a radio announcer(play-by-play, and that's being very liberal). Second, JP was not a good play-by-play man. He never could keep up with the game. Basketball was the worse. He stayed 3 to 4 trips up and down the floor behind, consistantly. He was more interested in telling everyone who was attending them game than actually doing the play-by-play. I will admit though, he was one of a kind. First and only person that I know that broadcast a fire live on the radio. He broadcast the Silsbee Automotive fire, even stated during the fire and I quote, "and this fire is brought to you by (insert sponsor)......" If I hadn't been standing next to him, I would have never believed he had said that.

A PA is who you here announcing at football stadiums. As for Silsbee, Billy Barclay is my all-time favorite, but Silsbee has a good one right now in Alan Sanford.

You would be surprised how many people listened to JP White air the football games for Silsbee. I listened to alot of his broadcast for the away games, back when Silsbee a radio station. You are right, he was one of a kind, and still is.

[BADSANTA]

AAW, JP White is what made Tiger sports for me. I went to every Silsbee football game from 1987-93 home and away. We would have the head phones listening to the game in the stands and JP would miss about 3 plays per quarter talking about what he was going to eat on the way home. Classic radio!

Can't really speak to PA announcer. Best radio play-by-play announcer in my opionion--- waaaaaaaay back in the day--- Tommy O'Brien voice of the Yellow Jackets.

Thanks for the compliments. I do enjoy announcing games and I try to get as many names called during the games as I can. Everyone loves to hear their name or their kids name called out over the PA!

Newton had the services of Sam Force Collins for 55 years. He started his 56th this year but only done one game. He said he just felt it was time. He was attentive to both teams on the field and was never a homer in my opinion. He told the story of the game as well as the kids playing the game. His seats are behind me in the reserved seats and he had to hunt for his seat the other night because he had never sat in it. He will be missed by many multiple generations of families that have played at Newton. He called the games for sons, dads, and even I'm sure granddads that have played there.

Love to hear some [b]try[/b] to and pronounce the names.
Reller Yeller gets my vote also, one of them that gets ‘em right.
That takes some time and research. A+ for the effort.

Of course sometimes it’s hilarious to hear you guys stubble over them too.  ;D

:D That's cause it doesn't follow any of the Latin "rules" of language. You did great though.

And…. my maiden name is Althauser.
I have been called Outhouser, Alzheimer’s, you name it.
If I got upset anytime anyone mispronounced my name I would be one raging woman!  LOL
