The Owner's Box, Ep. 46.

Foxboro coach Lisa Downs holds the state title trophy aloft at the Tsongas Center.

I told you I was going to start podcasting at an accelerated rate, and I'm a man that lives up to his promises. Here's the 46th episode of The Owner's Box, and the sixth appearance on it by Foxboro High girls' basketball coach Lisa Downs.

Downs' 2022-23 team, of course, won the state Division 2 championship back in March, but we've already talked about that. In fact, just scroll down for a post from April 22 and you'll find the episode of "Around Foxborough" that we did for Foxboro Cable Access as a celebration of that great playoff run.

So instead of rehashing an old topic, Lisa and I talk about various others -- how she has developed such a great rapport with her players (most of whom return for a bid for another title this year), how some important rule changes will affect her team and all of high school basketball in Massachusetts this winter, and her efforts to raise funds for a team trip to Florida in December for a three-game tournament -- among other topics.

Lisa is always a great interview, and we could talk hoops for a lot longer than just the 40 minutes or so we spent at Mass. Premier Courts in Foxboro last week. I hope you will enjoy it as much as she and I enjoyed recording it.
