Some Slezak Smilies 😊😊😎😎going out to the Slippery Rock student section! 😍Saw several of their members cleaning up trash from their section after the game!!! 😍Kindness matters!😎
Every broadcast I do starts with a “Good evening friends, Good evening fans…” WHY? Years back I got a note from a listener, he talked of enjoying games on the radio alone in his home. He said when I called a game, it was like a friend had come to visit him. That was so cool!😎🏀
High school football tonight, Bob and Mark are back for
Sharpsville at Wilmington on and on tonight marks my 40th year in sports broadcasting! My first ever game was a Wilmington football game with coach Terry Verelli 😎🏈
In the category of “things your kids do that you never imagined even trying yourself!!”My son Drew is in Texas, currently in the 2.4 mile swim phase,competing in an Ironman Triathlon! Go Drew! 😎
😎Slezak Smiley goes out to the JV players. While these players practice as much as the varsity, they rarely see the spotlight!😀Monday, with 2 starters fouling out, Hickory relied on JVs Aiden Enoch & Tyson Djakovich to close out their western final win!🙂way to be ready guys!
In my opinion, Listening to a game on the radio is far superior than any video.😎On radio I get to paint the picture of the action and emotion on the blank canvas of your mind. Join

😊A Slezak smiley to Hickory Hornet Basketball. Getting to Hershey is super hard. It takes a special team and special moments.😊Winning in Hershey is even harder!😎 Down 19 in 3rd Qt and have 2 shots to win in the end, unbelievable!! Thanks for a great ride Hornets! Keep working!
Here is a bit of the National Anthem from last night’s Mercer Co Hall of Fame banquet. My daughter Kaitlyn does an amazing job with my favorite song!

😎A Slezak Smiley to basketball Seniors like 😃KC’s Andrea Suhar, 😁Hickory’s David Ristvey, and Farrell’s Gary Satterwhite. 😊Their on court minutes may be few, but their value to the team has been great in ways that many never notice. We see you, and Seniors like you!🏀😀
Here is a 😎Smiley Story🏀for a Friday. Lauren Harkless hit for a career high 17 last night vs Grove City, including a half court 3!! The senior has battled back from multiple knee surgeries in her time at Hickory! Congrats Lauren😎🏀 (photo credit

It’s been a long time since I waited for a letter in the mail. We got a letter from Drew at the USNA today! he’s doing well, the coolest part, he says, “I’ve been yelled at for smiling everyday!” 😊😊😊😊
I just had an opportunity to talk to Pennridge Senior Sean Yoder. Sean will be attending the United States Naval Academy in the fall, joining my favorite midshipmen and son Drew Slezak 🏀😎

Oh my! Between High School and Westminster, 62 games! So blessed to call games and work with amazing partners, coaches, and especially players who make the games special. If a game sounds exciting, it’s not me, it’s the players doing their thing! 1 last time 2024 GOOD NIGHT!🏀😎
It was my pleasure to return to Ionta Elementary School in Hermitage for a career day presentation as a “sports broadcaster”. Thanks to Courtnie Roberts and the crew for the invite!! 🏀😎
Two people have recently said to me that I’m just a classroom

This has been a really tough day...as a teacher, I never even imagined ending a school year like this,. Now, unsurprisingly , a fantastic winter season and a new spring season end on the same day!! It’s truly unbelievable! Stay safe everyone. Prayers and best wishes to all🙏🏻😊
I have so many emotions. I’m deeply saddened for the seniors for Hickory, Grove City, Farrell & KC GBB who will forever wonder what could have been. I’m also sad for all of the senior baseball, softball, track & field & swimmers athletes who lose out on priceless memories. 😢🙏
😊A Slezak Smiley to Hickory’s Peyton Mele, his last (in game) shot at his home gym was a game winning 3 pointer!😃it wasn’t easy! it was well defended!the play included a tough catch, a pump fake, a left-hand dribble, all in 2.4 seconds😀now its legendary.Hickory to the Final 4
@BobGreenburg
A Slezak Smiley ... In a classy move, One of the first things that Hickory Junior Joey Fazzone mentioned in his postgame radio interview with Bob, 😎was about the great seniors and senior leadership on all the D10 championship teams🙂
😎A Slezak smiley to the Hickory and Sharpsville student sections! 😀Both groups showed up big in helping their teams win D10 baseball titles at SRU yesterday 🙂
Dylan Sleva with the hit, Dayshawn Elliott with the good hands and it’s a Titan Takeaway in Westminster’s 42-7 win over Bethany🏈

On this last day of PIAA Officials week, I wanted to thank all of you for doing what you do. 😎Because of you, kids can play, parents, friends, and family can watch! And I get to broadcast🏈🏀THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
😀A Slezak Smiley to Kennedy’s Bellah DiNardo. Bellah was overcome with emotion as the D10 championship medal was placed around her neck. Her entire team surrounded and hugged her as she thought of her Dad who passed earlier this year.😊Sometimes it a lot more than just a game!
Our Westminster Titan player if the game freshman Gracie Schill, with 2 of her college career high 15 points, to help the Titans to a 64-57 win over Pitt-Greensburg! 🏀😎(nice assist Camden, we see you!)

😄Slezak Smiley to Hickory wrestler Louie Gill😁at 106LB he became Hickory’s 5th ever wrestling state champ! Coming in as an underdog, his confidence remained high.His win, and post match interview also inspired the HHS basketball team as they all watched before taking the floor!
I know I’m not Jim Nantz, Brent Musberger, Dick Enberg or any of the great announcers who have ever had the chance to call a Super Bowl, but dang, I’d love to be standing beside
@BobGreenburg
and calling the big game today!! 🏈😎🏈😎
There was no better way to ease into my teaching retirement than spend 13 weeks working with this crew at the eAcademy at Lindenpointe in Hermitage. This is a great program with a strong network of people attached to it. 😎 Thanks all!!
