Once again, the Clark County Today Sports Podcast had a special guest.

Mick Hoffman, the executive director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, joined us for an hour-long discussion on the issues concerning high school sports.

The WIAA is preparing for a vote on several amendments, including a new transfer rule for student-athletes, a mercy rule in one sport, and it is possible that girls flag football will become a sanctioned sport by the association. Plus, there are two amendments regarding an issue that is making national news: trangender athletes in sports.

Hoffman explains the process, and the challenges with new amendments.

Later, we give our Super Bowl picks.

Our podcast format is simple: A longtime sports reporter (Paul Valencia) discusses high school sports, and more, with longtime sports administrators and former coaches. Cale Piland is the former head football coach at Evergreen and Union and is now the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools. Tony Liberatore is a former assistant coach and athletic director at Columbia River and is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver.
