Here is Episode 7 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
The sports reporter and administrators welcome special guest Mick Hoffman, the WIAA’s executive director.
Hoffman, a Vancouver resident and a former Vancouver Public Schools administrator, took over the top job at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association beginning the 2019-20 academic year.
Since then, he has dealt with COVID, the state’s reaction to the pandemic, and the return of high school sports, including postseason play.
These days, he and the WIAA are looking into the possibility of major changes to football venues for its championship games, as well as changes to the state basketball format and the potential of venue changes in that sport, as well.
We talk about all these subjects and more with Hoffman. For now, the Clark County Today podcasts 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
