The culture and atmosphere of the Port Jefferson School District athletic program is on the rise. The excitement before, during and after each game has students, staff and community members anxiously awaiting the district’s next athletic event. In addition to the success of the athletic teams, one of the key factors in the exciting and proud environment is Earl L. Vandermeulen High School junior Seamus McKeown.

Seamus began introducing the starting lineups for varsity basketball games last winter. “It didn’t take long for anyone to realize he has a special talent,” Athletic Director Adam Sherrard said. “The energy and enthusiasm he puts into every word of his introductions gives you goosebumps.”

Seamus continues looking for ways to expand on the energy around athletics. He is now writing his own pregame scripts and has expanded his role to being a play-by-play commentator. In addition to his work on the mic, Seamus is also a three-sport athlete playing golf, basketball and baseball. His commitment to all phases of athletics is admired. Go Royals!
