The Corner Blitz

After a three-game loss in last year's MAIS 3A D2 state championship, the Lady Bucs softball team has exploded in 2026 to a 14-2-1 start and are currenty on a 12-game win streak. Bowling Green softball coach Ashlan Ard joins The Corner Blitz with all four of her team's seniors — Haley Preston, Jaylee Smith, Allie Hebert and Hailey Maddern — to tell us what makes those Lady Bucs so good. Also, they really like Buc-ees (and chocolate milk). Benji and Adam are joined by guest host Blake Brewer of SMCC to talk about Lane Kiffin and the morality of college football (there is none), appropriately named podcasts and the projected winners of the week in football.
