For more than forty years, Kevin McCabe stood on the sidelines of Arizona’s biggest high school moments, witnessing championship celebrations, heartbreaking defeats, and the people who made those moments unforgettable. But while he was telling everyone else’s stories, his own life was quietly falling apart.

The Dean’s List is more than a memoir about sports. It is an honest account of a broadcaster’s remarkable career, his battle with addiction, the faith that carried him through recovery, and the second chance that gave his life new purpose. Along the way, readers will meet legendary athletes, coaches, lifelong friends, and the communities that helped shape Arizona’s rich high school sports tradition.

This is a story about far more than what happened under the Friday night lights. It is about discovering that the greatest comeback is often the one nobody sees coming.
