Linganore football coach Rick Conner - a podcast by The Frederick News-Post

Heading into the first state football semifinal between Frederick County football teams in more than 20 years, Linganore coach Rick Conner is this week’s guest on the Final Score podcast.

Conner joins host Greg Swatek to talk about Friday's Class 3A semifinal clash between his top-seeded and unbeaten Lancers and the fifth-seeded Cadets, who are making their first appearance in the state semifinals since 1985. He talks about his love of practicing on Thanksgiving and what makes his team so special. Have the Lancers ever run the ball better during his long tenure at the school? Plus, can he ever see himself not coaching? And what prompted him to buy a motorcycle?

First up, though, FNP sports writer John Cannon stops in for his weekly chat about the county sports scene. He and Greg take a look back at last week's state football quarterfinals involving Linganore, Frederick, Urbana and Brunswick. They also preview and share insights on the semifinal clash between Linganore and Frederick.
