There are six high school football teams in the region with new head coaches.
We ask athletic director and former head coach Cale Piland what they should expect in their new roles.
We give a shout-out to some great vibes at Fort Vancouver High School, too.
We also go into big changes with the Mariners.
And we talk about the potential for a lot of well known fast food burger places coming to Vancouver real soon.
Our podcast is simple. It’s me, reporter Paul Valencia, with Cale Piland, the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools, and Tony Liberatore, an associate principal at Fort Vancouver High School who used to be in athletics. We talk local sports first, then go into professional sports, with a side trip to fast food talk and more.
We’re always interested in subject ideas for a future podcast. Email us a subject idea.
