Shawn Baker, Brunswick boys soccer coach

With his team set to play in the Class 1A state championship game, Brunswick boys soccer coach Shawn Baker is the guest this week on the Final Score podcast.

Baker chats with host Greg Swatek about growing up in the Brunswick soccer program and how it shaped him as a person and a coach. He also shares what it would mean to lead his alma mater to its fourth state title and first since 2014.

Plus, does he still have the strongest leg in the Railroaders soccer program? What is it like having two very competitive siblings on his coaching staff? And what legendary sports icon inspired him to shave his head many years ago?

Prior to that, FNP sports writer John Cannon joins Greg for their weekly segment on the Frederick County sports scene. This week, they discuss the state cross-country titles for the Brunswick boys team and Caroline Gregory of Frederick, as well as preview the two state soccer finals featuring the Brunswick boys and girls teams and the state football quarterfinals that involve Linganore, Frederick, Urbana and Brunswick.
