Episode Details

Today, I’m joined by Washington Post high school sports beat writer Nicky Wolcott to reflect on the remarkable football season that just wrapped up, including the Post's coverage of the Hayfield/VHSL controversy. We also dive into how the Post compiles its Top 20 rankings and All-Met team, and whether Virginia teams are getting the recognition they deserve. Finally, we wrap up by previewing the exciting new high school basketball season, which is already in full swing!
