Clark County Today Sports Podcast, March 28, 2024: Have fun this spring break, a talk about spring sports scheduling, and happy opening day MLB fans.

⁠https://tinyurl.com/3wtmnvt9⁠

Reporter Paul Valencia and sports administrators Tony Liberatore and Cale Piland talk about high school sports and more.

By Paul Valencia with ClarkCountyToday.com

Welcome back to the Clark County Today Sports Podcast.

In this episode, we talk about the calm before the storm. It’s spring sport season for high schools, but most teams are about to take a break for spring break. Then it will be time for the stretch run. Oh, and this year will be the traditional spring sports championship schedule. Next year, though, the WIAA is changing the schedule.

We also talk about state football championships returning to Husky Stadium for the next two seasons.

Then we get into Major League Baseball, March Madness, and for some reason, old-school USFL.

The podcast format is simple. Tony Liberatore of Vancouver Public Schools and Cale Piland of Evergreen Public Schools give their thoughts, along with Clark County Today reporter Paul Valencia. Liberatore and Piland are longtime sports administrators. And Valencia has been a sports reporter in the region for more than 20 years.

We lead with high school sports. Then talk college and pro, too. And usually a few light items beyond sports.
