## Resource

On this episode of the Dubuque Area Sports Podcast, Coach Maneman sits down with Marquette Catholic Head Coach Travis Templeton to preview the 2026 Defenders baseball season. Coach Templeton looks back on a tremendous 23-5 season that saw Marquette Catholic go a perfect 12-0 in conference play and capture an undefeated conference championship. The conversation dives into the key moments that shaped last year’s success, the returning award winners and starters, players ready to take on bigger roles, and the arms that could help lead the pitching staff this season. They also discuss younger players to keep an eye on, the biggest strengths of this year’s team, areas that still need improvement, and what Marquette Catholic fans can expect from the Defenders in 2026. If you want a closer look at one of the area’s top baseball programs, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
