Blazer broadcaster Mike Barrett — Hall of Famer
Cool story at West Albany High School. Saturday night Mike and his father, Duane Barrett, will be inducted into that school’s Hall of Fame together.
For those of you who don’t know, Duane Barrett was a very successful high school basketball coach for many years. Mike went 11-2 as a pitcher his senior season and was a first-team all-state pick. He also played two seasons of basketball for his father.
Congrats to them both — a couple of class acts.

Just wish they all would change that to “Hall of Honor” or some such. We/They keep watering down the real “Hall of Fame”. Cooperstown, Canton, Springfield, maybe another one or two, but Albany HS??? oh well
congrats to mike and duane. i remember going to albany to watch the games as my newphew played for duane. what a class guy and a GREAT coach. ive always wondered why duane didn’t get into college coaching. and as for mb….he will as well as wheels and schonz be in the real hall of fame someday. his broadcast skills are among the top of any tv broadcaster in the country. we are so proud of both of you and thanks so much for all the memories and for all the great game calls mike. class class family…the barretts.
Mike Barrett does a fine job. And, a fun tidbit, my wife calls him a “good-looking one.”
