Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.
In this episode we had breaking news as we recorded our episode. The Clark County Wrestling Championships were called off due to the forecast. Big snow storm on the way Saturday. Of course, we joke that because the school districts called off everything over the weekend in advance, the storm won’t hit, right?
We also talk some pro sports, such as the Seahawks and the end of the Pete Carroll era.
Oh, and we discuss a sports tidbit in the movie Die Hard.
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.
