ESPN Host Randy Scott Cries Live on Air for Zach Jones

Just a few days before Christmas, the anchor on SportsCenter revealed Zach Jones had died. For the previous two years, the 41-year-old had been valiantly fighting colon cancer. Zach was a research manager with 14 years of ESPN experience. His 10-year-old son Silas and wife Amber were left behind after he tragically passed away on Sunday. In a heartfelt homage to his beloved coworker, Scott took to the air on Monday. He spoke to the audience: “ESPN lost one of our own yesterday,” “Research manager Zach Jones died Sunday after a two-year fight with colorectal cancer that had metastasized before his diagnosis. “You may have never seen him on your screens. “But you saw his work on our live golf coverage, on our women’s college basketball coverage or on any of our SportsCenter shows.” “He came here in 2010 as a researcher and joined the management team of the stats and information group in 2018. “But more important than that, he got married here.” “He started a family here.” & The post ESPN Host Randy Scott Cries Live on Air for Zach Jones appeared first on BlackSportsOnline.
