Coles County Sports podcast WEIU Sports & Media podcast

In a large city, a story about a junior college women’s basketball team going to the national finals would likely not get covered, or, at the least, would get overwhelmed by stories about the NFL Draft, NBA playoff runs, a dozen or so daily MLB games, and, of course, college football in the South. But local sport are the heart and soul of any news organization. Those not abiding by this notion will stop connecting with their communities. Jeff & Joe discuss this topic as well as Lake Land women's basketball winning the national NJCAA championship.
