Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
We took a longer break than we intended this summer. Scheduling issues kept us out of the studio.
But we’re back, just in time for the start of high school football.
Longtime Clark County reporter Paul Valencia and co-hosts Tony Liberatore of Vancouver Public Schools and Cale Piland of Evergreen Public Schools return to talk football, playoff structure, some Mariners talk, and, oh yes, we officially say goodbye to Rory Rosenbach, the former Union football coach who resigned in July.
As an added bonus, we have a short interview with Rosenbach at the end of the podcast.
We’re always interested in subject ideas for a future podcast. Tony and Cale are experts in administration for high school sports, and Paul has seen a few things in his decades in Southwest Washington sports. But we also will talk about college and pro sports, too. Email us.
Also, none of us like the name of our podcast. Got an idea for a better one? Email us. (Be nice!)
