In his first season as the manager of the Frederick Keys in the Major League Baseball Draft League, former Major League All-Star and World Series champion Preston Wilson is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Wilson chats with host Greg Swatek about his 10-year career in the Big Leagues, which included stops with the Mets, Marlins, Rockies, Nationals, Astros and Cardinals, with whom he won a World Series in 2006. He also talks about being drafted out of high school in the top 10 (No. 9 overall) of the 1992 MLB Draft by the New York Mets, three spots behind Derek Jeter. What was his best season? What was his favorite stop in his career? How did he wind up managing the Keys? And what is the one thing he would most like to impart on his players? All of those things are discussed and more.

Ecalono, senior sprinter/hurdler Divine Bamgboye and multi-event star Felicia Siewe are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast. Though they often make it look like a formality, Ecalono and the athletes tell host Greg Swatek about the real adversity the Hawks had to overcome in the Class 4A state outdoor meet this spring, and how coming away with another championship was no guarantee. Ecalono talks about the team culture he and his assistants have established over the last decade and a half, making attracting top athletes and winning much easier.

And Bamgboye discusses why she like very challenging events, like the 300-meter hurdles, and how she learned to embrace them and become so good at them. The girls also talk about their futures.

With his Frederick Flying Cows team off to another great start in its second season of play in The Basketball League (TBL), coach Ed Corporal is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Corporal shares stories from his incredible life in basketball with host Greg Swatek. His step brother, Otis Birdsong, was the second overall pick in the 1977 NBA Draft by the Kansas City Kings (who now play in Sacramento) and quickly became an All-Star player with the Kings and then later the New Jersey Nets (1984). Corporal served as a teenage ballboy for the Kings and was assigned to making sure the visiting teams had everything they need. So, he shares stories of interacting with Magic Johnson, Pat Riley and Larry Bird and what he learned from them by just watching them work. He talks about how the game has changed and why he isn't so enamored with today's NBA game. He also talks about how his sheer stubbornness, competitiveness and love for the game and helping people pushed him and guided him during his recovery from two massive strokes in 2013. And he talks about his unusual path to becoming the head coach of the Flying Cows and why the team has been so good right from its inception. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the ongoing spring sports season in Frederick County, including remarkable no-hitters in both baseball and softball.
