Over the weekend, Angels play by play broadcaster Victor Rojas somewhat surprisingly resigned from his role, and one of the reasons he mentioned was “to prepare for my next venture.”
Well, that next venture was announced on Monday. Rojas (seen on the left above with long-time broadcast partner Mark Gubicza) will be the new GM and president of the Frisco RoughRiders, the AA affiliate of the Texas Rangers in the Texas League.
Ethan Ferba had big plans for the offseason.
The Hobart diver got a taste of competing against the best when he finished 26th at the IHSAA state swimming and diving competition last February in Indianapolis.
When Ferba returned to Northwest Indiana, he sat down with Hobart diving coach Katharine Rinas and the two put together a summer workout plan that would allow the then-sophomore to take his diving to the next level.
Then COVID-19 hit and pools around the Region shutdown, including Hobartâs sparkling new swim facility.
âWhen everything with COVID happened, it was bad,â Ferba said. âWe had a whole summer planned out for workouts. It made all those plans go away.â
Nothing could ve prepared him for the news he would receive during his shift. I actually got a text that morning from a college coach saying, Dwayne, congratulations! I saw you on (TV), Johnson said. It caught me off guard because I wasn t even aware of it. I just asked him, Where did you see it? And then I ended up getting a video sent to me by my mother.
