SANDWICH – A sportscaster from Cape Cod has been hired to announce games for a team in the NBA.
The San Antonio Spurs have signed Sandwich native Jacob Tobey as their new TV play-by-play man. The team cited Tobey’s broadcast experience as a sports anchor in Denver and as an announcer for Fox Sports and other networks.
Away from the broadcast booth, the Spurs noted that Tobey is a passionate advocate for his Native American heritage, representing the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, and enjoys performing music at local venues including Boston’s Faneuil Hall.
Tobey’s resumé also includes calling Cape Cod League games for the Wareham Gatemen and coaching basketball at Red Sky Sports Academy in Osterville.
CapeCod.com previously covered Tobey when he played basketball at The Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis. He scored over a thousand points for Sturgis East.
