The Study of Sports team got together for a few more laughs, as well as some heartfelt discussions on a couple of controversies in high school sports beyond Clark County.
But first, we discuss the conclusion of spring sports, as well as the end of the academic year for high school sports.

It was probably just an anomaly, but for the first time in our memories, Clark County did not have a state champion in a traditional team sport in the 2025-26 school year. Had a lot of teams get close, but no team brought home the big trophy.

Do we blame the athletic directors? Just kidding Cale!

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.
