Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
In this episode we talk about Winning Ways with Columbia River girls soccer coach Filomon Afenegus, who has led the Rapids to seven consecutive state final four appearances.
We also talk about the state championship football games at Husky Stadium. Should this be a one-year thing or should the WIAA try to make it an annual tradition?
We also get into our favorite Christmas songs. Or, more specifically, we talk about one awful song that one of our hosts loves.
Beyond high school sports and music, we talk about the Mariners and new Dodger Shohei Ohtani.
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.
