When a 6th Grader Does Your Job Better Than You

Saturday was Women in Sports Day at the MSU Bobcat Women's Basketball game. It is a day where young women ages 7-13 take junior staff positions and help put on the game. The positions include:

• athletic director
• band director
• Bobcat DJ
• camera operator
• equipment manager
• marketing assistant
• public address announcer
• sideline reporter
• social media manager
• spirit squad
• radio play-by-play broadcaster
• sports information director
• ticket taker
• video producer

As the regular public address announcer for the MSU Bobcats, my job on Saturday was to assist Chief Joseph 6th grader Bailery Lower in being the game's p.a. announcer. Truth be told, she needed very little help.

Bailey was fearless and flawless in introducing the starting lineups and making other various announcements throughout the game. In fact, I'm hoping she decides to stick with singing the National Anthem because if not, I may have lost my position as p.a. announcer for the Bobcats.

Great job, Bailey! It was great working with you! You are a pro!
