Frank is no stranger to sports. Throughout his high school and college career, he played football and was the star running back. In April 1999, Frank’s high school, Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, honored Frank by inducting him and his fellow 1964 football team members into the school’s Sports Hall of Fame. The 1964 football team is the only undefeated and untied team in the school’s history. (Frank Boal Honored At Villanova)

After graduation, Frank coached football at Villanova for five years. He later left the coaching ranks to follow his dream of being a broadcaster. Working both in radio and television, Frank moved up the broadcasting ladder with stops in Grand Coulee and Lake Chelan, Washington; Eureka, California; and Green Bay, Wisconsin before joining the FOX 4 sports team.

Frank has covered every major sporting event, including the World Series, Major League All-Star Games, the NFL, NCAA and NBA Playoffs, as well as the U.S. Open Golf Championship.
