On the heels of girls flag football becoming a varsity sport in Frederick County, new Tuscarora High football coach and Urbana assistant principal Ryan Hines is this week's guest on the Final Score.
Hines played a prominent role in helping girls flag football carve out a foothold in the area through Frederick County Parks and Recreation and the high school league last fall. He chats with Greg Swatek about the significance of it becoming a varsity sport in Frederick County Public Schools and the opportunities it will create for young girls interested in playing sports.
He also talks about his desire to get back into coaching after roughly a decade of holding administrative positions at Urbana and why Tuscarora was the right opportunity for him, despite the Titans' struggles in recent seasons.
How is he balancing and managing both jobs at the moment? Why would he be willing to take such a significant pay cut? How long will it take to turn the Tuscarora program around? He answers those questions and more.
Prior to Hines coming on, FNP sports writers John Cannon and Alexander Dacy join Greg to discuss girls flag football as a varsity sport, the contributions of Frederick High's deaf boys basketball player, Keanu Boren, and Hood College's newly formed men's volleyball team.
