Our speaker on Wednesday was Mr. Andy Demetra, the radio Voice for USC’s Men’s Basketball and Baseball games.

According to the USC Sports website, “Demetra is a familiar name to those who follow Gamecock Athletics closely. He served as the play-by-play voice for Carolina women’s basketball and selected men’s basketball games from 2003-06. He was selected from a pool of approximately 250 applicants for the position.

“Since his time in Columbia, Demetra has worked for ISP Sports in Winston-Salem, N.C. He has done basketball play-by-play for the Big East National Game of the Week, football play-by-play for the ACC National Game of the Week and baseball play-by-play for the 2008 and 2009 ACC Tournaments for XM Radio. In addition, he has provided play-by-play work in basketball for the University of Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Villanova, UCF and Furman. He has also done play-by-play broadcasting for the Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A baseball affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.

“Demetra, who graduated summa cum laude from Syracuse University, was the 2005 and 2006 South Carolina Broadcasters Association Radio Sportscaster of the Year. He was the youngest recipient of the award in the organization’s 60-year history.”
