This week on Behind the Bench host Carter Eckl and co-host Duke Ritenhouse discuss the final games of the football season, including Fallon's Class 3A state title along with the rest of the state title games Tuesday. The episode continues with a discussion into the NIAA's new alignment for football, again. A new system in the south will bring another new look to the 2026 slate. However, nothing in the North has changed for postseason purposes. After that, the chatter switches to Nevada football and a cooling seat for the Wolf Pack's head coach. Lastly, a look at the Tahoe Knight Monsters hot start to the season and the upcoming shot clock era for prep basketball. This episode was produced by Jeff Mulvihill, Jr.
