One day before it was scheduled to play in a state semifinal at the University of Maryland, the Oakdale boys basketball team found out that its season was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On this week’s episode of The Final Score podcast, Bears coast Brandon Long talks with host Greg Swatek about the fallout from that decision. How did his players, especially his seniors, react to the news? What are they doing to stay ready in case the game is eventually played? What are the chances that it might be played? How would he and his players feel if the season was over?

The Frederick High and Middletown girls basketball teams are also in the same boat, having reached the state semifinals in their respective classifications.

FNP sports writer Joe Ferraro also stops by to share his thoughts about the pandemic and how it is impacting the world in unprecedented ways.
