BLACKSBURG, Va. - N.C. State play-by-play broadcaster Gary Hahn isn't working today's game at Virginia Tech because he is recovering from prostate cancer surgery.
Wolfpack Sports Marketing general manager Brian Asbill said the cancer was discovered in an early stage.
"His prospects for complete and total recovery are excellent," Asbill said.
Hahn, who is in his 20th season as the voice of the Wolfpack, was replaced on play-by-play by Tony Haynes, who usually serves as sideline reporter. Mark Thomas replaced Haynes on the sideline, and Johnny Evans remained in his usual position as color analyst.

Mark Thomas?
