FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The longtime play-by-play broadcaster of North Dakota State University athletics has died.

NDSU officials say Scott Miller died early Thursday after a nearly four-year fight against cancer. He was 57.

The Minot native was the voice of Bison football and basketball for the last 20 years, including the last six at KFGO radio. He also did play-by-play for the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks independent baseball team.

Miller is a three-time Sportscaster of the Year winner, including twice in North Dakota and once in Montana. He won the North Central Conference Ed Kolpack Media Award in recognition of his contribution to the league.

Miller was known for his signature phrase "My oh my!" after big plays by Bison athletes.

Bison football coach Chris Klieman (KLY'-min) tells KFGO that Miller was "one of kind."
