Scott Gross

In 1987, Gross began broadcasting local high school football and basketball games for Pocatello and Highland High Schools as a color commentator. His first on-air experience came unexpectedly when he volunteered to provide statistics for a Pocatello High School basketball game while Jim Fox was out of town. Arriving prepared with a pencil and notepad, he instead found himself handed a headset by current ISU radio analyst Brad Bugger—and made his debut behind the microphone that night.

By the summer of 1989, Fox invited Gross to handle play-by-play duties for the Pocatello Giants baseball team of the Pioneer League. That assignment launched five summers of calling games for the Pocatello Giants, Pocatello Pioneers, and later the Pocatello Posse in 1993. During this period, he refined his broadcasting craft while covering rising stars—including future Major League pitchers Pat Rapp, Steve Reed, and Cory Lidle—and meeting prominent baseball figures such as Montreal Expos executive Dan Duquette and former Atlanta Braves catcher Bruce Benedict.

In 1993, Gross became the exclusive play-by-play announcer for Pocatello High School football and basketball, a position he held for 14 years. During that tenure, he called several championship victories, most notably the 1999 A-1 Division I Idaho State Basketball Championship, which ended a 30-year title drought for Pocatello High, followed by a back-to-back title run in 2000.

His coverage later expanded to include Highland and Century High School athletics, where he continued to call championship games and forge long-lasting community connections. Over nearly four decades on the air, Gross has valued most the enduring friendships he has built with coaches, players, parents, officials, and fellow broadcasters throughout Idaho.

Scott is married to Katrina, and together they are the proud parents of seven children and grandparents to one granddaughter.

He is honored and excited to serve as the next Voice of the Idaho State University Bengals.
