The regular season seems to go by in a flash every year. Here we are, preparing for Week 8 of the high school football season.
The sports administrators and this high school sports reporter who make up this podcast are excited to talk about the possibilities in this episode.
Plus we take a deep look into the forfeit/appeals process in high school sports because two Clark County teams were involved in a game that needed the process to determine an outcome of a game.
Oh, and we also have fun looking at a great list provided by Greater St. Helens League football historian Bryan Levesque. Here is his list of all-time wins-and-losses from high school football coaches in Southwest Washington, dating back to the 1920s: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/159rf0O5Yth7Ul7lep1WHh2kmZtjKBlcOXfp-uCwmLwA/edit?gid=0#gid=0
We talked about high school sports as well as pro sports. We gave our World Series picks, too.
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 is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver.
