ESPN's Mike Tirico checks out Skyline basketball

For a guy that spends most of his working life traveling around the country covering sports for the "Worldwide Leader in Sports", you would think ESPN commentator Mike Tirico would find something else to do on his days off.
You'd be wrong.
Tirico, an Ann Arbor resident, was spotted at Skyline High School on Feb. 8, taking in the Southeastern Conference match-up between the host Eagles and rival Dexter.
The commentator was treated to a great game, as the young Skyline team downed Dexter in double overtime, winning 78-75.
Tirico said that while he doesn't make it to a lot of high school games, Skyline was the local high school in his family's area, and that he knew some of the players.



Skyline has won six of its last eight games, and the Eagles are going to have to keep playing at a high level. After all, they have fans in high places.
