    Episode 74: Dodge County QB Kain Mincey Recaps 2025

    Hello again! I'm back at it again with some Dodge County football news, and it comes in the form of a season recap from their QB Kain Mincey. He and I sat down on what was a cold, very rainy evening in Eastman. That didn't stop us from chopping it up about a sport we both share a love for. The main topic of discussion was to be a recap of the 2025 season where they fell short of expectations. Yes, that includes their own, but we couldn't move along until the listeners who didn't know Kain were clued in to who they were hearing from. Tag along with Kain and I as he recaps his personal & athletics life alongside giving his thoughts on what went right and what went wrong for the Indians.

    Episode 73: 2025 Recap of Dodge County Softball

    It's always best to end something on a better note than how it all got started. The Lady Indians softball team in Dodge County was sitting at 0-6 when I last spoke with head coach Blakelyn Cook. Tune in to hear her talk about how they were able to turn things around and punch a playoffs ticket when it didn't seem like it was "in the cards".

    Episode 72: Gabbie Haas & the WPBL

    Gabbie Haas, the former shortstop for the Middle Georgia St. Lady Knights joins me in this episode to talk about how her final season on the team wrapped up.

She's back as a graduate assistant coach alongside former teammate Madisyn Riggins while also taking the beginning steps of a professional baseball career in the newly created Women's Professional Baseball League.

    Episode 71: 2025 Dodge County Flag Football

    A couple weeks ago, I was able to meet back up with Coach Clint Sanders, the head coach of Dodge County High School's flag football team. This marked our 3rd episode with one another and the optimism levels within the program still sit quite high. There's a sense of unfinished business there. Everyone loves to see a team with a chip on their shoulder. Being sent home one step away from the state title game will do that to you. Big pieces are gone, but there are worthy ladies that should step in to fill their shoes. With the program growing ever so bigger in Eastman and around the state, it looks like everything is falling into place for yet another entertaining season.

    Episode 70: Blakelyn Cook & the Lady Indians

    The start of the 2025 high school softball season hasn't gone nearly as well as head coach Blakelyn Cook and everyone else has expected. The thing to remember here is that if you experience losing streaks like this, it's in everyone's best interest to have it happen early in the season. Strong finishes make everyone either forget about the early woes, or look back to reflect on what the team worked themselves out of. Sit back and listen so you can learn about Blakelyn, how much she loves what she does, and what she and her assistant coaches have planned for what hopes to be a huge bounce back. Cross your fingers and find out in October.

    Episode 69: The 2025 Version of the Georgia Bulldogs

    The University of Georgia once again lost some key players at important positions to the draft. A few also made their way into the transfer portal, but who are we kidding, who's not falling victim to this nowadays? Heading into 2025, the biggest storyline is the emergence of Gunner Stockton, the new face at the QB position. The amount of trust being put into this guy, coupled with the small yet impressive production he provided last season and the 2025 spring game, we shouldn't have anything to worry about. He has the trust of all the right people. The rest will come in due time. At other key positions, it'll be another reload. A nice mixture of players who've climbed the depth chart after sticking it out and those who took their positions the moment they stepped foot on the field. With all that being said, it's going to be another exciting, action-packed season. Go Dawgs!

    Episode 68: Roger Holmes

    Football season has officially gotten underway with some schools already having knocked out there first scrimmage games. Fans are still eager to get the regular season started and have their hometown team go ring chasing. In this episode, I sat down with Roger Holmes once again to recap how the 2024 football season went for the Fighting Irish. Here' s a little peek inside for you. Finishing one step away from a state championship shot stings for everyone. Especially for a team who is this good on an annual basis. This program has lost over half of their offensive production from the prior year. Will they reload...or fall behind?
