Here is another post-school-year encore show from 2024. It’s from March of that year, so the current events round is from that time, too. Why does it seem so long ago? Anyway, it’s a couple of great teams. One is from Brookside High School in Sheffield Village, Ohio, and the other is from Firelands High School in Oberlin. Both schools have consistently made our playoffs in past years.

Continuing our series of summer reruns, this is another program from 2024, produced and aired in February of that year This is its first release as a podcast so it may be new to you. Naturally the current events round (Round 2) is "old news." How much do you remember from about seventeen months ago.
