Scott Osborne

Returned to Central HS in 2008.  Says it was to be an assistant basketball coach and teach Math…We think Scott made the move when he found out a position was open with Central HS football broadcasts on SportsGumbo.net!...Now coaches Basketball and Baseball for the Wildcats….Might have to give up all of these responsibilities if his announcing duties are too time-consuming!?!...Combined age of Scott and broadcasting partner Josh Ward is less than some of the luminaries (err…octogenarians) featured in BIO section of SportsGumbo.net…Scott’s first 2 choices to join him in Central booth were Erin Andrews and Jill Arrington (Editors note:  both were too busy, being involved with Jon Fine…prior to Jon’s alarm clock ringing)…Everyone enjoyed times when Scott made appearances on THE High School Sports Show.  This was not necessarily due to Scott’s on-air performance. It’s more that when Scott came to the show, he brought along his lovely wife Hollee.  Plus, that would usually mean that future Central Principal Victoria Eskola (with husband Thomas) would be in the house…From New Orleans…Bachelors and Masters from LSU (Doctorate coming up from Central?)…A Manager and Administrative Assistant for Dale Brown and John Brady at LSU between ’95-’00.  Readers, you may insert your punch line here…Previously taught and coached (basketball, baseball, football and other sports) at Central from 00-07…Served as Walker Head Basketball Coach in 07-08…Proud father of 2 baby girls, Allison and Baylee…Second one, Baylee, born in month of July, after egregiously fathering his first child, Allison, in the middle of basketball season…Only person on SportsGumbo.net crew shorter than Jon.  Major reason he was hired…Very knowledgeable on a wide-array of sports.  If he was not a mature, responsible person, would make an ideal sports-talk host!..Has overcome these traits to write an outstanding column for ourweekly newsletter.

Scott Osborne is the color commentator for Central HS football broadcasts on WPFC, 1550AM, Baton Rouge and right here, at SportsGumbo.net.  He also writes a weekly column, The Wizardry of Os, for SportsGumbo.net Newsletter.
