Coach Macedo is set to embark on his 20th season at the helm of the Marlins and has never finished below .500 while making three Final Four trips. His run was highlighted by the D-3 National Championship.
Lake Taylor's new Head Basketball Coach, Derek 'Yogi' Edwards, came on to chat about his promotion after spending several seasons as an assistant to the now retired Kenny Brown. The Titans will be seeking their third straight trip to the State Tournament at the Class 4 level.
Grafton Head Basketball Coach Jeremy Jordan stopped by to conclude the show, weighing the pros and cons of Twitter if Ed Young decides to get an account.
