Happy Friday! Today on The Sports Rush, it's a familiar voice hosting the show as a guest host today, former producer and co-host of The Sports Rush alongside Brett, it's DC Hendrix!! And of course, DC brought the heat today, asking our listeners for their thoughts on the disappointing finals series in both the NBA and the NHL playoffs, with both series possibly being sweeps. We also asked our listeners which team is more likely to complete said sweep. Also in the first hour, we are pleased to be joined on the guest line by the head coach of the Evansville Purple Aces, Wes Carroll! DC speaks to Coach Carroll about the fantastic run the Aces had all the way through to the super-regionals of the national NCAA baseball tournament this season. We hear from Coach Carroll on what it was like to become "America's Team," what the season as a whole was like, and about some of his standout players on the team. Also: how does he plan to top this result next season? All that and more!
