The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 45.

Glen Farley, left, and I agreed about the merits of the "Fall II" sports season.

The high school football season is finished here in Massachusetts, although with a little luck, a new one should be starting in another four months or so. So it's a good time to recap what we've seen, and what we think may happen in the future, here on the area's most compelling video podcast.

I talk with my broadcast partner for North TV's coverage of King Philip Regional High School football, Glen Farley, about how the state responded positively top the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic to create a season for the fall sports' athletes that couldn't play during their traditional time of year. It's a thoughtful conversation, but it may take a little extra effort to listen to it; we recorded it at Macktaz Field in Wrentham just before the KP-Franklin game last Friday, and the pre-game music blasting over the loudspeakers provided us and our vocal cords with a rather unique challenge.

I also include highlights of this thoroughly entertaining game, and then add some comments in praise of a couple of former local athletes that are making their way up the ladder of basketball success, former Bishop Feehan standouts Lauren Manis and Katie Nelson. It's all in a jam-packed 45th edition of The Owner's Box After Dark ... and yes, even the Hugh Hefner pipe makes an appearance in this one.
