Mason (10-3 in 2022), a Division I regional semifinalist last season, has to also replace some important positions due to graduation.

"The product that we put on this field - the community should be proud every Friday night," Mason coach Brian Castner said this summer.

Castner, who enters his 14th season as the Comets head coach, joined the podcast to discuss the expectations for the Comets, who open the season against visiting Gahanna Lincoln Aug. 18. He also reflected upon the tradition at Mason and how important it is to the school community.

Senior linebacker Kai Woolfolk, senior defensive end/tight end Liam McManes, senior left tackle Vaughn Johnson and senior tight end Quinn Brown also joined the discussion for the Comets.
