The Study of Sports Podcast, Oct. 15, 2025: The Mariners are … wait, don’t jinx this, and Heritage football is 6-0, and, well, we just had to record an emergency episode

We usually take a couple of weeks in between episodes of The Study of Sports.

Then again, history is being made around us.

We’ve never seen Heritage football at 6-0, and we’ve never seen the Seattle Mariners up 2-0 in the ALCS.

We had to rally everyone together for an emergency edition of The Study of Sports.

Wait, did I just write that the Mariners are up 2-0 against the Blue Jays? Poor Tony Liberatore. You know he thinks we are jinxing the M’s.

No such thing as a podcast jinx. We have no control over the outcome.

But even to this non-Mariner fan, this state sure is fun when the Mariners are on a special journey.

This latest episode was recorded on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

We ask our sports administrators and Mariners fans about their stress levels from last week’s Game 5 against the Tigers? And we talk about their feelings after two games of the ALCS.

It’s the Study of Sports, with your hosts Paul Valencia, a reporter for Clark County Today, and sports administrators Tony Liberatore and Cale Piland.

Our podcast format is simple: A longtime sports reporter (Paul Valencia) discusses high school sports, and more, with longtime sports administrators and former coaches. Cale Piland is the former head football coach at Evergreen and Union and is now the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools. Tony Liberatore is a former assistant coach and athletic director at Columbia River and is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver.
