Three New Firefighters Join Mansfield’s Ranks

Curt and Effie open this week’s Inside the Lines by talking about the late-summer heat and player safety, the early battle shaping up in the MOAC and Danville’s strong start in Knox County.

Then, Hillsdale senior twins Kael and Knox Lewis join the show to talk about a lifetime of playing together and their final season as Falcons. They reflect on back-to-back trips to the state championship game, lessons learned against Ohio’s small-school powers and the work that goes into a Hillsdale offseason. The brothers also discuss stepping into veteran leadership roles, chasing a conference title, what they hope to accomplish before their high school careers end and what college athletics might look like for each of them. 

This episode is brought to you by Graham Auto Mall.
Intro and outro music is "Story of the Sunflower Samurai" by local artist Vaundoom.
