The Voice of the Spartans Has Fallen Silent

Today, the press box at York College feels colder, and the silence is deafening. We are heartbroken to announce the loss of Scott Guise, a man who didn’t just work for York College Athletics—he was its heartbeat. For over two decades, Scott was the unseen force behind every highlight reel, every game recap, and every celebratory post that made our student-athletes feel like superstars. To lose him now, after witnessing his superhuman fight against a relentless illness, is a crushing blow that leaves a void no statistic can measure. He was the narrator of our greatest moments, and now, we are left struggling to find the words to narrate the end of his. The sheer cruelty of this loss is hard to accept; a man who spent his life elevating others has been taken from us far too soon.

More Than a Director: A Mentor and a Friend

Scott wasn’t just an administrator; he was a second father to the students he mentored and a brother to the coaches he worked alongside. He possessed a rare, quiet strength—the kind that showed up early to set up the field and stayed late to ensure every senior got their due recognition. Even as he waged a brutal war against cancer, enduring treatments that would have sidelined anyone else, Scott showed up. He showed up with a smile, he showed up with his camera, and he showed up with that unwavering dedication to the Spartans. He taught us that true passion doesn’t clock out when things get hard. His “Giant Steps” weren’t just an award he won; they were the way he lived his life every single day, walking tall despite the pain, driven by love for his family and his Spartan community.

A Legacy Etched in Every Story Told

As we say goodbye, our hearts break for his wife Jill and his children, Carly and Shane. We cannot fathom the depth of their grief, and we send them every ounce of love and strength we have. Scott spent 26 years writing the history of York College Athletics, ensuring that no accomplishment went unnoticed. Now, it is our turn to ensure his story is told and retold. He was a champion of the underdog, a master storyteller, and a genuinely good man in a world that desperately needs more of them. Rest easy, Scott. You fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith. The press box lights may dim, but the light you cast on this college will shine forever.
