 His broadcast career took him to Lexington, Missouri for five years, then to Moberly, Missouri for 11 years. It was there at Quicks and Cress in Moberly that he became the broadcast voice of the local junior college basketball team. The Moberly Greyhounds, under Cotton Fitzsimmons, won two national titles during that time, both in 1966 and 67, with Kermit providing the description for the fans unable to make the trip.
