Bad Beats Podcast (Mar 13): High School Hoops, March Madness Week, NFL Free Agency Chaos, Players Championship & NASCAR Picks
Colton Vancil hosts Bad Beats on River Radio Network in Poplar Bluff with guest Zach filling in, previewing a packed sports weekend. They highlight local high school basketball playoff matchups (Donnettes vs St. Francis Borgia, Hayti, Sikeston, and Dexter) and discuss an 83-point NBA game that drew investigation.
