Announcer Toby Moore forgot to turn his microphone off at halftime and, well, you can guess the rest. At the end of it, a realization. “This conversation never happened, by the way,” said Moore. “We’d get in trouble. I would have never had this conversation if [inaudible name] was sitting in that chair. We’ve been around long enough; we know what we’re doing.”
Apparently not.

A third-place girls soccer matchup in the Kansas Class 4A-1A state championship tournament on Saturday between Rose Hill and McPherson featured a hot mic incident where players, coaches, and even parents in attendance were the target of some very inappropriate comments. The game was aired live online on the NFHS Network streaming service.
During halftime, a parent at the game captured the announcer speaking to an unidentified person in the press box. The video, which was later shared to Vimeo and forwarded to Awful Announcing, shows the announcer complaining about the play on the field in the first half, openly ripping the players and coaches involved in the game.
The video identifies the announcer as Toby Moore, who would later confirm he was the announcer caught on the hot mic with a statement he sent Awful Announcing. He is believed to be speaking to the PA announcer on site.
