HSSS-Mike Voss

Tate is joined by Mike Voss, the head coach of the Riverdale Warriors men’s basketball team, to discuss the team's recent momentum following key victories over Clarksville Northeast and Oakland. Voss highlights the impressive performances of Ryan Wilkerson, who scored over 20 points in consecutive games, and Braylen Burns, a dual-sport athlete who has quickly become the team's leading scorer and rebounder after transitioning from football. The coach also addresses the logistical hurdles created by the TSSAA's new smaller district format, which forced him to independently schedule nearly 20 games while coordinating doubleheaders with the women's program. Despite the team's recent success, Voss notes that they have had to overcome significant adversity due to season-ending injuries to key sophomores Will Knight and Hudson Fuqua. He credits the team's bench depth and leadership for keeping the season on track as they prepare for a highly anticipated "Battle of the 'Boro" matchup against Blackman and Coach Wortman. The segment concludes with a brief discussion on college football, where Voss expresses his respect for Indiana coach Curt Cignetti and predicts that Indiana's high level of play makes them a formidable contender in the national championship conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
