Here is Episode 12 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast. 

Head coaches get a lot of attention, as they should. But any great head coach will tell you they are nothing without outstanding assistant coaches. 

In this episode, we remember Mark Rego, an assistant football coach who passed away in 2018. But in his memory, there is an athletic scholarship that has already helped more than 100 students. Rego was an inspiration to so many in his life, and he continues to serve Clark County.

We also talk about professional sports, including the NFL gambling rules, the Mariners chances, and our respect for Damian Lillard. 

Oh, and there is a ghost story, too.

For now, the Clark County Today sports podcast usually record once every two weeks. (As a head’s up, with summer scheduling, the next podcast will record the week of July 17.) We hope you enjoy the show. And if you have a subject idea for a later podcast, email: [email protected]

We got an email from a reader asking about the budgets for high school athletics departments. In this episode, our experts in the field of sports administration talk about the budgets.

We also gave our opinion on the WIAA moving state football championship games to Husky Stadium.

Oh, and one of us just got back from an incredible weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Another one of us has been to the baseball hall of fame several times. So we talked about the fan experience, of making the journey to see tributes to our sports heroes.

Here is Episode 8 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast. 

The sports reporter and administrators got some great feedback from a listener who wanted to know more about the rules in Washington regarding high school athletes who change schools. 

So I asked our administrators — Cale Piland and Tony Liberatore — how it all works.

We also gave a salute to Adam Mathieson, Mountain View football coach who resigned earlier this week. 

And best wishes to Jack Colletto, Camas High School graduate who might be drafted this week in the NFL.

Here is Episode 7 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast. 

The sports reporter and administrators welcome special guest Mick Hoffman, the WIAA’s executive director.

Hoffman, a Vancouver resident and a former Vancouver Public Schools administrator, took over the top job at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association beginning the 2019-20 academic year.

Since then, he has dealt with COVID, the state’s reaction to the pandemic, and the return of high school sports, including postseason play.

These days, he and the WIAA are looking into the possibility of major changes to football venues for its championship games, as well as changes to the state basketball format and the potential of venue changes in that sport, as well.

We talk about all these subjects and more with Hoffman. For now, the Clark County Today podcasts records once every two weeks. We hope you enjoy the show. And if you have a subject idea for a later podcast, email: [email protected]

Here is Episode 6 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast. 

The Washougal School District is saying that if the levy does not pass, it is possible that the district could eliminate sports. Not just some sports. All sports. Is that just a way to get the attention of the voters? Is this real? Our sports administrators and reporter Paul Valencia share their opinions.

We also talk about spring sports.

Oh, and opening day in Major League Baseball. 

Enjoy!

Reporter Paul Valencia and sports administrators Tony Liberatore and Cale Piland talk about high school sports, and a few other things, too.

Here is Episode 5 of the Clark County Today Sports Podcast. We had to talk about the elephant in the room: The proposal to cut athletic directors from Evergreen Public Schools. Yes, there will be sports. But the sports will be run under a new system. And we are in the process of losing qualified, high-character people who love their jobs.

We also give a salute to the Camas girls basketball team for their second-place finish at state, and we talk a little controversy at state basketball. Should video replay be used at state? What about official protests at state?

It’s me, reporter Paul Valencia, along with high school sports administrators Tony Liberatore of Vancouver Public Schools and Cale Piland of Evergreen Public Schools.

Enjoy!
