WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT TONY CASTRICONE
“As Washington began its fourth quarter at No. 11 Oregon State ahead by a sliver at 22-17, Huskies play-by-play man Tony Castricone lent the moment a beautiful framing: 15 minutes to a chance at 11-0, 15 minutes to reserve a berth in the Pac-12 championship game, 15 minutes to preserve ironclad national-title ambition.”
“A soon-to-be iconic call.”
– Seattle Times on Tony’s call of the final play of the 2023 UW-Oregon game.
