Eric Ver Helst graduated in 2000 and is now the sports information director at DMACC in Boone! He's been working in the athletic department since he graduated from BHS.
He fondly remembers Ann Haugland, his speech teacher. She helped him gain confidence in his public speaking, and as the yearbook sports editor, she pushed him to get the best story possible.
Over the years, Eric has announced at the IGHSAU State Basketball Tournament, where he was behind the mic for seven state championship games. He’s been the head statistician at the IHSAA State Baseball Tournament since 2020.
When he's not working, Eric volunteers his time with the basketball, baseball, and softball teams at BHS. 🏀⚾
