Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
We say congrats to all the Clark County wrestlers who won state championships at Mat Classic, including four champions from Skyview. What a night!
We also discuss the upcoming state basketball tournaments, seeding, and yes, the ridiculous RPI announcements from the WIAA that means absolutely nothing. Yes, we touched on that on our last episode, but we returned to the subject because of the confusion that the WIAA allows when posting RPI every week, even though the selection committee does not use the RPI! Stop the madness!
And we recap the Super Bowl, which was a terrible matchup for a couple of us.
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.
We lead with high school sports. Then talk college and pro, too.
