Welcome back to a jam-packed, post-Memorial Day edition of The Starting Lineup on 102.1 The Won KOSP! Today, Ned Reynolds and Guy Newcomb pilot the ship through a beautiful morning of local sports talk, with Art Haynes joining the analytical deep dive later in the hour. 

We start things off by celebrating a massive weekend for high school athletics across the Ozarks, highlighted by a thrilling Class 1 and Class 2 softball catch-up at Killian, and a breakdown of area baseball regional brackets. Then, we dive headfirst into our marquee interview with Springfield Kickapoo Baseball Head Coach Jason Hauser. We get a first-person look at how his Chiefs navigated a brutal district schedule—surviving Neosho, out-strategizing Nixa in extra innings, and capturing a walk-off district championship over Ozark. Coach Hauser gives us a masterclass on team building, explaining how playing his senior leaders as sophomores laid the foundation for this championship run. We also look ahead to their monumental best-of-three state quarterfinal series against defending state champion Blue Springs South, detailing their elite pitching staff and how the Chiefs plan to protect their home field.
