The Final Score podcast continues its state-championship series this week with sophomore standout Ryker Keeney of the Middletown High School wrestling team.

Keeney chats with host Greg Swatek about his 43-6 season, which included placing third in the Frederick County tournament at 144 pounds, winning the Class 2A-1A West regional title in that weight class and then placing fifth at the state tournament.

He talks about what it was like to be a part of such a powerhouse team at Middletown this season. The Knights capped an undefeated season by winning the Class 2A state duals championship, and they crushed nearly all of their opponents along the way. Keeney talks about what made the team so strong and how it felt after winning the state title.

There is also discussion about why he is so passionate about wrestling, leading a team despite being one of its youngest members, how he got into wrestling and what the future looks like for the Middletown High wrestling program.

Prior to this conversation, News-Post sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss spring sports around Frederick County and the players from the county playing minor-league baseball, keeping the dream alive with Opening Day on tap across Major League Baseball.
