Broadcaster Chuck Seese Receives George Heaslip
Media Award from PSAC
August 3, 2009
EAST STROUDSBURG – Chuck Seese, the radio voice of
the East Stroudsburg University football program for the
past 20 years, received the George Heaslip Media Award from
the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) at the
conference’s football media day on Monday at Kutztown.
Seese was recognized as the 21st recipient of the Heaslip
Award, which is presented annually to a member of the media
for outstanding coverage of the PSAC and its institutions.
An award-winning local broadcaster, Seese has been a tireless
promoter of East Stroudsburg University for nearly three
decades since his time as a student, when he worked for the
campus radio station.
He is in his 25th
year at WVPO/WSBG in Stroudsburg, which will broadcast
Warriors football for the 47th consecutive
season in 2009. He is also the Public Address Announcer for
the Warriors men’s basketball team and has served as
Master of Ceremonies for pep rallies, Midnight Madness and
many other events on campus.
Seese has broadcast postseason football games in 1991, 2004
and 2005, when the Warriors won the Northeast Region championship
and advanced to the national semifinals. He has also witnessed
PSAC East titles in 1991, 2002 and 2003 and called record-setting
performances by quarterbacks Damian Poalucci and Jimmy Terwilliger,
wide receiver Evan Prall and running back Anthony Carfagno
during his time with the Warriors.
The 2009 season
will be Seese’s 21st year behind the
mic as the Warriors’ play-by-play man and the ninth
with color commentator Bob Brittain. ESU opens the season
in Richmond, Va. at Virginia Union on Thursday, August 27.
