9:30-10:00PM - (Len Clark)

We start the final hour of the show with the ISC Sports Network’s Rick Johnston who was at the Hoosier indoor track relays and what unfolded a the state fairgrounds in downtown Indianapolis. There were record-breaking performances in the prelims, and Rick breals it down. We get to “the best at what he does,” Greg Rakestraw, who was on the call for the 3A and 4A state title games which were both extremely well played. He touches on New Haven not showing any first-time state appearance jitters despite the loss and what the win means for Cathedral. He also talks about Mt. Vernon’s win in 4A and how they didn’t sub in the second half. Then, we hear from state champion head coach of Parke Heritage Rich Schelsky. He talks about leading for most of the game and having to respond after Westview came back. As we’ve talked about throughout the show, the 2A game had the wildest ending, and coach Schelsky walks us through his thought process as the game winded down. Plus, he reveals he had two players who need surgery due to injuries but put it off to continue to play through the season. Plus, what does it feel like to win it with his son?

The second hour kicks off with the man who was on the call for the 2A State Title game, Mark Forester. He’ been reflecting all day about how he might never call a game as good as the one today and he takes us through the final moments, and the close call Westview had at the end of the game. Plus, he tells us his thoughts on Ball State hiring their new basketball head coach Chris Capko. We checked the 3A state championship game off the list with John Herrick who had the call. He says the game had more twists and turns than your favorite TV show despite the double-digit win for Cathedral. Next, we hear from Fieldhouse Files’ Scott Agness on the crazy ending to last night’s game vs the Los Angeles Clippers. He also talks about having the league's worst record and what gets the Indiana Pacers going forward. He also touches on how the younger players can look at their development during the season. He also touches on the Fever getting back in action with a new CBA deal and a looming expansion draft.
