NASHVILLE, Tenn. — John George, the longtime public address announcer for Arkansas Razorbacks' basketball games, is in his 11th year filling that role at the SEC Tournament.
"I appreciate the opportunity the SEC gave me, and I'm thankful they keep asking me back," George said Friday. "It's a very big honor to do this."
George replaced Carl Stephens -- the SEC Tournament's public address announcer from 1979-2006 before retiring -- in 2007.
"The SEC has a great staff and group of volunteers I've really enjoyed working with the entire time," George said. "It's people from every school, so it's really nice to be able to represent our school.
