With the season underway and armed with a contract extension, Mount St. Mary's women's basketball coach Antoine White is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.
White chats with host Greg Swatek about his contract extension, which was just announced by the school this week and keeps him as the coach through the 2030-31 season. He talks about coming to the Mount as a coaching intern from the College of Southern Vermont, where he played for former Mount men's coach Dan Engelstad.
Coach White moved quickly up the ranks to the top assistant coach and then became head coach prior to the 2021-22 season. He promptly led the Mount women to a Northeast Conference championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
What were his first impressions of the place? Why was now the right time to extend his contract?
The Mountaineers opened their season Tuesday night with a 83-49 loss to Richmond, which is ranked No. 24 in the country. What were his impressions of that game? What are the keys for the Mount women this season as they try to win their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship?
Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the fall sports playoffs for Frederick County teams, which include state semifinals for field hockey, soccer and girls flag football, state cross championships this weekend at Hereford High School in Parkton and the first round of the regional football playoffs.

Chantal Thacker, Middletown High Girls Flag Football Coach
Early in her first season coaching girls flag football at Middletown High School, Chantal Thacker is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.
Thacker chats with host Greg Swatek about her interesting background with football. From playing with boys on the playground at recess, she went on to play women's tackle football for the CT Wreckers of the Independent Women's Football League and the DC Divas of the Women's Football Alliance Pro Division, in addition to a stint on Team USA for the International Federation of American Football Women’s Tackle World Championship in Vantaa, Finland during the summer of 2022.
She talks about those experiences, as well as meeting her wife, Sara, on the women's tackle football circuit, and coaching the junior-varsity boys team at Wilde Lake High School, where she currently works. How was she received there by the players, administration and other coaches?
Thacker also talks about her team at Middletown this season, adjusting to coaching flag football and what would constitute a successful season for the Knights.
Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to review Week 2 of the high school football season, look ahead to Week 3 and look over the rest of the fall sports landscape in Frederick County.
