Good Morning! With the Border Country Sports Blog, I'm Keith Harrington.
Yesterday I was unable to get a blog out to you. My apologies. I am on vacation from my full-time job and there was some business that I need to take care off that began early in the morning!
I have a busy weeekend. Today I will be traveling to Shenendehowa High School to catch some boys Class D quarterfinal action. More on that in a bit.
Tomorrow I will be down at the Gateway Center in Cohoes calling the play by play on the livestream of the Bennington Martens ABA game. It will be my professional sports debut and I am looking forward to it. Last weekend I helped the Martens out as the PA announcer for Border Country Sports Night with the team, but I am looking forward to starting my gig as the on-air voice of the Martens and the New York Lights and New York Lady Lights of the PBA and LPBA.
