It's a whole new year! Not really, we're at the midway point of the PIAA winter season. And with that, let's have some fun. Since we last were on air, Butler boys basketball went 1-3 and Karns City basketball has looked impressive. What were Derek, Brendan and Jake's takeaways from the holidays? Next, what's the biggest storyline to watch the rest of the regular season. Jake says it's Butler wrestler Santino Sloboda chasing history in the county. Do you agree? Do the guys? Then, we declare our allegiences to one of the final four college football teams left in the CFP. Finally, we hand out some midseason Butler County awards. Girls basketball MVP, boys basketball MVP, biggest surprises (good and bad) and the best team in the county (all sports). Who do you got? But first, Derek, Brendan and Jake talk that crazy Steelers-Ravens game and if Pittsburgh "deserved" to make the playoffs.
