Erin comes on the podcast just days after her daughter, Evelyn, committed to run for Iowa State in the fall of 2027. Erin remembers the time when Evelyn, her middle child, had to choose between volleyball and cross country and a breakout race to remember her sophomore season. Erin talks about the motivation that drives Evelyn and why she stopped her from competing in her first half marathon. The three-time Iowa Conference champion for Wartburg tells of the great support from the Mount Vernon community. She remembers a memorable visit with Iowa State's coaches and why the Cyclones won out in a fierce recruiting battle. Erin chats about the difficult path for her youngest son, Kellyn, after he was born with spina bifida and his new athletic pursuit. She also tells of oldest son Ryne's influence on his siblings and what could be next for the Iowa State senior. Erin goes back to remember training with fellow Wartburg Robyn Friedman for the first time in Oregon and before the 2008 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. She recounts that memorable race and how it wasn't going well ... until it did. Erin tells of a surprise guest waiting for her in the finish chute at those trials in Boston. She reluctantly talks about an injury that derailed her 2012 Trials marathon when she was in the best shape of her life. Erin also looks back at the "rock star" Wartburg teammate who has been honored with her name on a facility for the college's cross country teams in Waverly. She also talks about Evelyn's epic finish in the Class 3A 800 final when she ran down a Mount Pleasant runner to claim the title by .01 of a second and help hand Mount Vernon a state team championship.

After his team produced a momentous and unusual victory over arch rival Urbana last week, Linganore High girls lacrosse coach Dean Coccia is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Coccia talks with host Greg Swatek about the Lancers' 9-7 victory over Urbana, the two-time reigning Class 4A runner-up. Both Coccia and Urbana coach Ryan Hines agreed to end the game with 8 minutes and 35 seconds to play because both teams were severely short-handed due to the number of yellow cards issued in the game. On the podcast, Coccia discusses why that decision was made, the way the game was being officiated and the gesture made by Hines in a game his team still had a chance to come back and win. How big of a victory was it for Linganore and how might the Lancers benefit from it going forward? Now in his fourth season on the job, Coccia also talks about the growth and development of his young team, why it is having such a strong season and his overall expectations as the playoff approach. Can the Lancers contend for a state title in Class 3A?

Tate is joined by Tom Kreager to discuss the 2026 Mr. and Miss Basketball finalists, specifically focusing on the girls' divisions. In Class 1A, the experts favor Zoe Nicholas from Pickett County, who is currently averaging nearly 30 points per game. For Class 2A, the consensus leans toward the standout player from Gatlinburg-Pittman, while Andrea Floras of Daniel Boone—a Mississippi State commit—is the top pick for Class 3A. In Division 2-A, Haylen Ayers of USJ is highlighted as a premier talent, described as one of the top three players in the country and a target for major programs like UConn. The discussion also notes Komora Fields and Cecely Brandmore as top-tier competitors, with Fields being lauded for her elite skill set despite being a "surprise" non-McDonald's All-American. The conversation provides a behind-the-scenes look at the rigorous selection process handled by a committee of statewide sports writers. Kreager, a former committee member, emphasizes that the panel strives for equal representation across East, West, and Middle Tennessee to counter any claims of regional bias. The selection process involves deep dives into player performance, including reviewing game film and Huddle highlights, and even gathering scouting reports from opposing coaches. Kreager describes the responsibility as a "duty" to advocate for players, noting that while only three finalists are chosen per class, the deliberation is intense and aimed at honoring the very best talent across the entire state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
