It’s good! Splash! BANG! Onions, baby, onions! Dagger!

Those are just some of the terms basketball announcers use to describe a made 3-point shot (Yes, the onions quote is accurate. It’s from Chuck Swirsky of the Chicago Bulls … well, when they can actually make them).

Jeff Leidel, the WGEL announcer for Comets and Lady Comets basketball, could’ve used all those and more during this record-breaking season for both clubs. For more information see the March 17, 2023 edition of The Greenville Advocate.
