As the season reaches the halfway point, boys basketball coaches Kyle McFadden of the Frederick Force and Brian Burdette of Catoctin High School are the guests this week on The Final Score podcast.

First, McFadden shares with host Greg Swatek what his first season has been like as a head basketball coach. What has surprised him? What has he learned? How did it feel to earn his first victory? What type of team do the Force have this season?

Then, Burdette joins the show to chat with Greg about his team’s recent upset of Middletown, which marked Catoctin’s first win over the Knights in at least 18 years. Who are the key players for the Cougars this season? How far can they advance in the playoffs? How has Burdette’s experience as a referee influenced his coaching career?
