George Lucas
Broadcaster/Media RelationsAn avid sports fan, George was born in Washington, DC and was raised in Windber, PA. A devoted Rambler, George was a catcher for 3 years at Windber Area High School and also played one “not so glorious” semester of “fall ball” as a 2nd-baseman for the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.
George’s broadcast career has been much more memorable! He is the former voice of the Johnstown Chiefs and Nashville Knights (both of the ECHL) and also serves as the play-by-play and public address voice for the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and Windber Area High School.
George will once again handle media relations duties and will call his 5th season of Mill Rats’ baseball in the summer of 2025.

As a culinary master who has worked in many different positions in the hospitality and sales industries, Ashley is excited to use her wealth of knowledge and experience to create a memorable and delicious experience for all of the fans at the ballpark this summer.
