“I went and called my first football game and it was awful,” she recalls. “But I loved it, it was so much fun. It was unlike reporting and anchoring where you’re prepared, and you know what you’re going to say most of the time. It’s all off the cuff. And I thought to myself after that very first game, driving back home, ‘Wow. If I’d think I’d really love to do this.’ That feeling was special.”
Scott migrated to the Pac-12 Network where she learned other women were doing play-by-play. But social media was in its infancy then and Scott was unaware of them, save for Beth Mowins who was calling games for ESPN.
Scott demonstrated her versatility by calling a variety of events on both radio and TV, including women’s basketball at the 2021 Olympics for NBC and the FIFA Women’s U-20 World Cup for Fox.
