In this episode of The Study of Sports, reporter Paul Valencia and sports administrators Tony Liberatore and Cale Piland discuss how officials start a new sport.
Girls flag football has been sanctioned by the WIAA, but it is a new sport for high schools in Southwest Washington. There are more questions than answers at the moment, but the administrators break down what they know now.
We also talk about Camas pole vaulter Chase McGee and his incredible record. Then we talk about other records in the world of sports.
We veer from sports to discuss In n Out Burger and a fun little tidbit of information about the possibility of In-n-Out Burger opening a restaurant in east Vancouver. It is already there on at least one online map!
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.
