Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
In this episode we discuss the incredible performances from Columbia River volleyball and Ridgefield girls soccer, as well as Seton Catholic’s first football run to the semifinals.
We also get into proposed amendments for the WIAA. Will a transfer portal be coming to high school sports in Washington? OK, not exactly the same thing as in college sports, but, well, you’ll have to take a listen.
Beyond high school sports, Paul Valencia shares some personal sports-related news. Hint: It’s about his passion for the Raiders.
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.
