Vance Ballard, from Mebane, NC, graduated from East Carolina
University in 2016 with a degree in Communications and a minor in film studies.
Vance is a full-time firefighter in Hillsborough NC, where he’s spent
the last 5 years serving as a Firefighter, Driver, and EMT. The married father of 2 wonderful sons spends his free time with his family and doing
freelance play-by-lay broadcasting. Vance is a true sports junkie who loves
the history as much as the game, especially if it’s NC State, the Atlanta Braves, or the
Cincinnati Bengals. Vance hopes to one day make a career move into full-time
play-by-play.

Hi, I'm Jackson Green from Mooresville, NC and am a senior at the University of South Carolina. I’m majoring in Broadcast Journalism with a Sport & Entertainment Management minor. I’ve worked in internships involving sports media and broadcasting, working in the Coastal Plain League and with the Winston-Salem Dash. On campus, I have been involved with USC’s student-run local news broadcast, Carolina News & Reporter. I’m also a member of the Beta Theta Pi organization and spend my free time immersing myself in sports. There isn't a league or organization where I wouldn’t watch some baseball, football, basketball, golf, etc. I’m hoping to pursue a career in sports media/TV with the specific goal of play-by-play commentary.
