Rick Conner, coach of the reining 3A state champion Linganore Football team - a podcast by The Frederick News-Post

Continuing our look at the upcoming Frederick County high school football season, Linganore coach Rick Conner is the guest on this week's installment of The Final Score.

About to begin his 33rd season as a high school football coach, Conner explains to host Greg Swatek why he is as passionate and energetic about his job as ever and why the first day of practice still feels like Christmas morning for him.

The Lancers won their sixth state title — the most ever for a Frederick County team — with a memorable 28-27, come-from-behind victory over Milford Mill last December in Annapolis.

Conner recalls his fondest memories about that game and the final, game-winning drive and discusses the expectations and challenges ahead for the coming season, among other topics.

The Final Score is presented by Players Fitness and Performance (PFP).
