The Owner's Box, Ep. 56.

Coach Amy Dolores brought Bishop Feehan its second state title last season.

We're back on a basketball court for the latest episode of the best little audio podcast in Massachusetts, The Owner's Box. You'll be able to tell because of all the buzzers, whistles and squeaking sneakers in the background.

I took a ride to Franklin High School for the first night of the Franklin summer league, and that's where I was joined for an interview by Amy Dolores, the coach of the defending state Division 1 champion Bishop Feehan Shamrocks.

It's Amy's first appearance on the show, and we hit upon a wide range of topics -- what it has meant to her to be a part of the Feehan community since 2003 (and the head coach since 2019), how her team rallied from the disappointment of losing a state title game in 2023 and brought home the title this past season, and of course, the growing attention being given by sports fans of all ages to the women's game as Caitlin Clark and the rest of the impressive rookie class make their impact upon the fortunes of the WNBA.

I also take some time later in the episode to look back at the career of Attleboro High star player Leland Anderson, who died recently of lung cancer at the far-too-young age of 43.

It's 51 minutes of audio that will make you mad, sad and glad all in the same click of a button. I hope you'll enjoy listening to it.
