Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
We took an extended break, but we’re back, and we are discussing rumors of a transfer portal in Washington high school sports.
That is not the plan, we assure you.
The WIAA is looking at its transfer policies, and there could be major changes, but a transfer portal is not in the works, according to Mick Hoffman, the WIAA’s executive director. We discuss what is in the works as the WIAA researches different approaches.
We also give a shout out to Skyview softball and Union boys soccer, with a month to go in spring sports.
Plus some breaking news. Well, not anymore. But kind of breaking news with Battle Ground hiring a new boys basketball coach.
And a salute to Union baseball for its Honor Game earlier this week.
The podcast format is simple. Tony Liberatore of Vancouver Public Schools and Cale Piland of Evergreen Public Schools give their thoughts, along with Clark County Today reporter Paul Valencia. Liberatore and Piland are longtime sports administrators. And Valencia has been a sports reporter in the region for more than 20 years.
We lead with high school sports. Then talk college and pro, too. And usually a few light items beyond sports.
