A lot has gone on in the last couple weeks, and I finally had the time to sit down and make an episode about it! You had the Bambauer Classic and other winter break tournaments, the start of league play and so much more!

Yeah, pretty much what the title says. Who's in the mix to play in the CCS and NCS Open Division this year in boys basketball? How do recent results affect those races?

This episode has nothing to do with Game of Thrones, but hopefully the title will bait a few more listeners.

Football season is over, and we're recapping state championships and discussing the merits of the current state playoff system before fully jumping into basketball, where we had a big week of tournaments and pivotal non-league results. Plus, find out why I spent my weekend at Gridley instead of at state football.

Alternate title: "Friendship Ended With Football Season, Now Basketball Season Is My Bestfriend"

The first weekend of playoff football is in the books, and it was all about the public schools! Three public schools defeated WCAL powerhouses, and this is the best place to hear all about it.
