With Frederick's professional basketball team, the Frederick Flying Cows, in the early stages of its third season, the team's general manager, Chris Jenkins, is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Jenkins chats with Greg Swatek about the new eight-team league the Flying Cows are playing in. After playing their first two seasons in The Basketball League and reaching the TBL semifinals last June, the Flying Cows joined the United States Basketball League, which was renamed 94x50 League through a fan vote.

He also talks about the team's intentional effort to become more local with a coach (Dan Prete) and players on the roster (Garrison Linton and Zach Thomas) who are from Frederick. Jenkins discusses how the team and the new league plan to grow, new things the team is trying this season, how it plans to dig out of its slow start this season with losses in five of their first eight games and his upcoming trip to Indianapolis for the NCAA Final Four.

Prior to that discussion, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to talk about his temporary transition to a news reporter to assist that side of the newsroom and some of the different assignments he has been working on, as well as his thoughts on the upcoming Frederick Keys season, which begins Friday night in Spartanburg, South Carolina with their return to affiliated minor league baseball.
