This week on Behind the Bench, the show discusses the first look at the winter sports slate, previewing both Carson and Douglas boys basketball teams. Both season outlook stories can be found in Wednesday's newspaper. The episode closes with a brief discussion on state football, the upcoming realignment meeting and what's caught our eye in the MLS playoffs. Next week, Carson High girls basketball head coach Sam Golden will join the podcast to discuss the upcoming Senator season and her first year as head coach.
