Here is Episode 11 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
We got an email from a reader asking about the budgets for high school athletics departments. In this episode, our experts in the field of sports administration talk about the budgets.
We also gave our opinion on the WIAA moving state football championship games to Husky Stadium.
Oh, and one of us just got back from an incredible weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Another one of us has been to the baseball hall of fame several times. So we talked about the fan experience, of making the journey to see tributes to our sports heroes.
For now, the Clark County Today sports podcast records once every two weeks. We hope you enjoy the show. And if you have a subject idea for a later podcast, email: paul.v@clarkcountytoday.com
