Cape Codder announces NBA games

SANDWICH – A sports reporter from Cape Cod was hired to call games for a team in the NBA.

The San Antonio Spurs have hired Sandwich native Jacob Tobey as their new TV play-by-play man. The team pointed to Tobey’s broadcast experience as a sportscaster in Denver and as an announcer for Fox Sports and other networks.

Away from the broadcast booth, the Spurs noted that Tobey was a passionate advocate for his Native American heritage, representing the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, and that he enjoyed performing music at local venues such as Faneuil Hall in Boston.

Tobey’s resume also includes officiating Cape Cod League games for the Wareham Gatemen and coaching basketball at Red Sky Sports Academy in Osterville.

CapeCod.com previously reported on Tobey when he played basketball Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis. He scored over a thousand points for Sturgis East.
