Connor Clark Bio: Sports have always been a huge part of my life, ever since my dad taught me the game of basketball at the age of three.  Since then, my passion and interest in sports have only flourished.  My name is Connor Clark and I am from Lake Bluff, Illinois, a northern suburb of the great city of Chicago.  I have an amazing family that has pushed me to chase my dreams and has taught me to carry myself with humility, kindness, and drive.  The support system I have been blessed with is second to none, friends included.
​I spent my high school years at Lake Forest High School in Illinois where my passion for play-by-play announcing really started.  I wanted to start calling games for my high school's basketball team, so I reached out to faculty members about making it happen, and they were all in on my idea.  Since then, I called over 70 high school games, including football and girl's and boy's basketball.
