"There was a human-shaped hole in the wall." Ummm ... what? The Butler Eagle named its third annual Male and Female Athletes of the Year this week: Butler senior baseball player Nolan Stefaniak and North Catholic senior soccer and flag football player Simone Sharpless. The two local standouts joined us in the studio this week to talk about their championship-winning and record-setting seasons, the people who molded them into the athletes they are now and what's next for their athletic careers. Sharpless talks about her lifelong interest in learning to fly, and both of them share hilarious stories about the sibling shenanigans they got into over the years — including the story behind the hole in the Stefaniak house wall. Go to butlereagle.com/section/sports for our profiles on the two after you listen to their stories here.   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/     Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/     https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/     www.alter-eagle.com       #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball  #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports  #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #WPIAL #PIAA  #NCAA #Butler #PittsburghPA #lacrosse #Baseball #Softball #SimoneSharpless #NolanStefaniak #WPIAL   This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.       Cast:     Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer     Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer     Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor     Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host     Summer Intern: Dominic Frye

A couple two-time players of the year and our very first flag football all-star team! Who made the cut for the all-Butler County spring teams?

"State champion" has a nice ring to it. Mars boys lacrosse's Grant Weaver, Reed Fuller, David Renner and Jack Tirch joined the show today to continue celebrating their PIAA championship, the second in program history. The crew relived the final minutes of the game, their favorite highlights of the season, proving "the doubters" wrong and talked about what it means to them. Brendan and Jake also reacted to Butler baseball's historic season ending a win short of the ultimate glory — the program's first state title — but how it brought the Golden Tornado program to new heights and left a lasting legacy.  And our Butler Eagle Male and Female Athlete of the Year finalists are out this week. Before the staff announces the official honorees in July, who made the final cut and what do you need to know about the 10 top athletes of the entire 2025-26 year? Find out here, then go vote before next week to tell us who you think were the two best athletes. But first ... congrats to the Knicks, yada, yada, but Jake has an ax to grind about the coverage of New York's championship celebration to a certain other city's portrayal and is not going to be stopped shouting from the rafters about it.   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/   Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com     #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #WPIAL #PIAA  #NCAA #Butler #PittsburghPA  #MarsBoysLacrosse #2ALacrosseChampions #StateChampions     This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host   Summer Intern: Dominic Frye

"They look like a droid from Star Wars." We go off the rails almost immediately, from pistachio chocolate to rainbow vacuum clearers, cutting the grass and, well ... you get the picture. Butler baseball and volleyball are in the PIAA tournament this week, plus Mars and girls lacrosse and a few other teams. Derek and Jake preview the first-round matchups and talk about some of the history being made by local teams. And one of those historic figures, legendary Tornado volleyball coach Lew Liparulo makes his debut on the pod and shares his stories from 50 years of coaching and finally getting the chance to lead a team to a WPIAL championship game. And we wrap up with Derek stumping Jake on a gimme Eagles question, debating which sports franchise nickname we'd want to change and recapping and sometimes-wild state track and field championships.

"You're not Derek!" Nope, she's not. Laura steps into the host seat for the first time with Derek and Brendan in parts unknown so we can drop a special Memorial Day episode previewing this week's WPIAL and District 9 baseball and softball championships. The stars have aligned for Butler to finally win a WPIAL baseball title. They have the ace pitchers (plural) and some serious pop in the lineup. They haven't lost in nearly a month. Can the Tornado finish the job? And what might sink them? Then we break down Moniteau baseball's title tilt with Redbank Valley over in District 9, plus Karns City softball's clash with St. Marys.  And can Seneca Valley softball finally slay the Hempfield dragon in the third try in the last four years? Jake lays out the matchups and hints at some predictions for a few of these games.

Can Freeport's Mackenzie Magness defend her PIAA pole vault title? And who else will join her on the podium at Shippensburg University this weekend? Derek, Jake and Brendan break down the Butler County contingent heading to the PIAA Track and Field Championships. Butler's 4x800 relay is coming off a WPIAL title, as are Seneca Valley's Audrey Wolfe and Tennyson Voll, Karns City's Alex Wilson and Phoebe Brandon (in District 9) and several others. Wilson, Magness, North Catholic's Lazzara twins and Butler's Kevin Shriver and Carter Ekas are among the returning state medalists. And it looks like they and a few newcomers could be busy this weekend. Derek and photographer Rob McGraw will have wall-to-wall coverage of the state championships this weekend at butlereagle.com/section/sports. And then we switched gears a bit. You may have heard: that Aaron Rodgers guy is returning for another year with the Steelers? And speaking of the Stillers, the NFL gave them a Black Friday home game. What will happen with the WPIAL football championships that weekend? Or what should the district do as the NFL encroaches on more days of the week? Smash the like and subscribe buttons!

We won't make the Jim Mora "Playoffs?!?!" joke this season. It's a Derek and Jake episode this week, and they're breaking down a couple big WPIAL playoff storylines: Can Butler baseball finally win a title as the top seed? And can Knoch softball do the same? Will Mars boys lacrosse make it 10 straight and the girls four? And who is Dominic The Intern? The answer to those questions and more this week.  Plus, Karns City's Alex Wilson has been upping the Gremlins pole vault record for a couple years now. The junior, who has the top height in Butler County so far this season, hops on Eye on Sports this week to talk about his season and his goals heading into the District 9 and PIAA track and field championships. He talks about the sibling rivalry that got him into pole vaulting, the training, the weather and more. And Derek's steps out of retirement for a week to answer a trivia question. Can he get back in the win column?   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/     Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com     #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #WPIAL#PIAA #NCAA #Butler #NFLDraft2026 #NFLDraft #PittsburghPA #flagfootball #Hockey #Penguins #Flyers #polevault  #KarnsCity   This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host

The WPIAL track and field championships are next week, as are District 9 and 10. What can we expect from some of Butler County's top runners, jumpers and throwers? We break it down. A week off should've given us a rested Jake. Instead, he's in pain from his Broad Street Run.  You know who's not in pain? Butler County's standout track and field athletes who are gearing up for the district championships next week. Derek and Brendan break down the field and some of our expectations for the WPIAL, District 9 and District 10.  Plus, Seneca Valley's Madi Barnyk and North Catholic's Simone Sharpless join the show to talk about their experience on the stage when the Steelers made their pick during the NFL draft, including meeting Jerome Bettis and making sure they kept their cool the whole time. We also talk about Evgeni Malkin's future with the Penguins (and Jake revels in his Flyers' victory) and Derek's excellent story on Moniteau softball's Graysen Rottman's battle with a rare condition that cut her playing career short.   Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com   #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #WPIAL#PIAA #NCAA #Butler #NFLDraft2026 #NFLDraft #PittsburghPA #flagfootball #Hockey #Penguins #Flyers     This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host

 "It's very hard not to see 2 or 3 players on the board (they like)." The Penguins are down bad, but it's the week of hopes and dreams for all football fans. PennLive Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh makes his debut on the show to talk all things NFL draft this week. What's the best-case and worst-case scenarios for the Steelers?

"I got about four hours of sleep last night." Seneca Valley grad Easton Bazzoli still hasn't slept much since leading Gannon men's basketball to its first NCAA Division II title a week ago. Is it the recruiting, the celebration or raising a 3-year-old? The former Raiders standout hops on the pod to talk about a whirlwind season and what's next. But before that, Jake and Brendan (Derek is on vacation this week) talk swimming and wrestling all-county teams and break down the stars from the 2025-26 season. Finally, did you know the NFL draft is coming up? Jake gives Brendan a Eagle-Steelers-themed trivia question with a twist, and they break down some of the options and scuttlebutt (good word) for the Steelers at No. 21.

"What do you got there, Brendan?" Jake finally pays off his debt from the fantasy football season, much to Brendan's full stomach's content. He chows down while we break down our decisions for the Butler Eagle all-county boys and girls basketball teams, including players of the year Teegan Finucan (Knoch) and Madison Romanovich (Slippery Rock). Did we make the right calls? Who else could've made the team? Then, Mars grad Jackson Krock joins the show, still coming down from the euphoria of winning the NCAA Division III hockey championship with Hamilton and shares some stories of winning the natty and the US-Canada rivalry on the team.

Mars football and track star Brad Mueller is heading to the Butler County Sports Hall of Fame this month. The former Boston College running back who later went to Slippery Rock University joined us in studio to relive some of his favorite memories as head enters the hall. But before that, a food debate leads to ... well ... something. We get "real," and maybe a little TMI. Please some recaps on the Butler County Classic, a Seneca Valley grad leading Gannon men's basketball to the NCAA Division II championship game and JJ Wetherholt's unbelievable MLB debut.

"Diving is definitely the way we still get that excitement."  Mars diver and newly crowned WPIAL and PIAA medalist Marin Raible hopped on "Eye on Sports" to talk about her transition from gymnastics to diving and what it was like to win multiple medals. But first, we stumble all over ourselves to get the interview started as she laughs at our expense. The guys talk spring sports. Can Mars boys and girls lacrosse make it 10 and four WPIAL titles in a row, respectively? We've been unleashing our athletes to watch lists this week and break down some of the big names to know in lax, track, baseball and softball. Plus, Jake has an update on College Football Hall of Fame Terry Hanratty and his cancer battle after talking to the Butler legend.

"Speaking of flags..." Warmer weather means outdoor sports are back. And that means storylines.  Jake is all on board the flag football train. The first PIAA-sanctioned season began in the past week, and Mars, Seneca Valley and North Catholic will be part of the debut season. What can we expect? What's there to be excited about? (Answer: more football!) And is boys flag football next? Derek and Jake also talked about the NBA's tanking "problem." When presented with some ideas, here is what Derek believes might help.

Butler's Santino Sloboda won his fourth medal, bronze, at the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships, closing out a historic career. Jake was on site with coverage, highlights and interviews with the man of the weekend.  And with it feeling like a (soggy) spring finally, you better be watching some baseball. Mars Planets fans have reasons to be excited, with David Bednar pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and facing his younger brother, Will, in a scrimmage against the San Francisco Giants a week ago. But they may not even be the hottest names with local ties. St. Louis Cardinals top prospect JJ Wetherholt looks all but set to win the starting job and contend for National League Rookie of the Year. Derek and Jake react to an exciting spring.

"Some of its jokes haven't aged well." Jake gets nostalgic for Scrubs returning after nearly 15 years, which gets Brendan to open up about his love for Peaky Blinders and Derek espousing the virtues of Breaking Bad again. As for sports, the PIAA basketball playoffs and PIAA wrestling championships are upon us. Do we get a Knoch-North Catholic IV, and who wins? And does the winner of that game or another make the deepest run in states? Plus, Butler's Santino Sloboda is now four wins away from a state title. Jake is set to make the jaunt to Hershey's Giant Center and breaks down the matchups to come. Plus, we get some NFL insider information from Brendan, who was at the NFL combine last week and came back with some nuggets about who the Steelers might be eyeing with their first-round pick.

We find out Jake REALLY likes to talk about the Olympics, and figure skating, and King Klaebo. And we didn't even get to Nazgul the wolfdog! But first, Derek and Jake break down a big week of WPIAL wrestling championships, where Butler's Santino Sloboda won his third straight gold to join rarified air, the Seneca Valley and Mars boys teams sent several to the PIAA regional tournament and Raiders' girls wrestler Hannah Hornick won her second district silver medal. It's a lot to break down. But wait! Brendan's got an update from the airwaves on the Knoch-North Catholic district boys basketball playoff game over the weekend, sending the Knights to the WPIAL championship, and some district diving medalists from Seneca Valley and Mars. Get all the latest from Butler County high school sports this week!     For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/   Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com   #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026  #miketomlin  #WPIAL #SantinoSloboda #Wrestling #ButlerWrestling #GirlsDiving #Olympics     This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.       Cast:     Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer     Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer     Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor     Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host

It's the best time of the wrestling calendar — POSTSEASON! Jake was on site at Butler High School and got some highlights and news from the WPIAL sectional wrestling tournament, where Butler's Santino Sloboda broke a historic record and classmate Sutton Stoner at long last got the win he has been waiting for. What's ahead for the area's best wrestlers? And what did Sloboda have to say about his latest achievement?   Plus, that Karns City girls basketball team can sure play defense. The Gremlins, with KSAC MVP Naomi Venesky leading the way, won the conference and look like the team to beat in District 9. But can the offense hold its own against stiffer competition, especially if KC gets to the PIAA tournament? The guys break down the Gremlins' odds.   And we talk a little Pirates baseball! It's nearly spring, baby! ESPN gives the Buccos nearly at 25% (!!!) chance to make the postseason and projects 79-80 wins. Jake's just glad Nick Castellanos is not taking up real estate in Philadelphia this year.   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/     Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com     #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026  #miketomlin  #WPIAL #SantinoSloboda #Wrestling #ButlerWrestling   This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:     Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer     Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer     Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor     Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host

So, as soon as we started recording this week's episode, the WPIAL basketball tournament brackets were announced. But unlike that bracket show, ours doesn't freeze in the middle of the stream! Derek, Brendan and Jake attempt to break down in real time the seedings and matchups for Knoch boys, Mars boys and girls, Seneca Valley boys and girls, Freeport girls and North Catholic boys and girls. The WPIAL championships begin Thursday, Feb. 11, 2026.   Then, Karns City girls basketball star Naomi Venesky and coach Steve Andreassi return to the pod and are officially "friends of the show" now. Venesky talks about reaching 1,000 points last week, and coach and player talk about the Gremlins' roster, playoff chances and more.   Plus, Super Bowl reactions, fondest coaching memories and more. We're talking 'bout PLAYOFFS!     For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/     Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com     #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026  #miketomlin  #WPIAL #KarnsCity #GirlsBasketball #1000Points     This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.     Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host  

The WPIAL, District 9 and District 10 playoffs are right around the corner. But many Butler County teams still have to make the dance. Derek, Brendan and Jake discuss this year's surprises and which teams have the best chance to stick around for a while. Can Seneca Valley girls, poised to repeat as WPIAL Section 1-6A champs, make a deep run to the PIAA tournament, or are Karns City, North Catholic (boys and girls) or Slippery Rock girls the area's biggest threat? Then, Knoch boys basketball coach Joe Lafko joins the pod to talk about his surging Knights, another WPIAL contender, and his more-than-30 years of coaching, family and HUGE Fayette County Family. You can't begin to guess how many cousins this man has! Finally, it's Super Bowl week! Time to talk the Stanley Cup Final! Just kidding ... the guys make their predictions for Super Bowl LX and who will win MVP, and touch on that whole Bill Belichick snub thing. They're actually more in alignment than you'd expect.     For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/     Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com   #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #MoniteauHighSchool #JakeJewart #miketomlin #MoniteauBoysBasketball #slipperyrockpa #MarsPA      This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.     Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host  

Student section week is here in Butler County, and Derek, Brendan and Jake talk about how high school crowds do it best. And then Karns City senior Quinn Robinson, the man behind the theme nights and organizing the gang, joins the show to tell us why the Gremlins have the best supports in all the land.   Plus, the Steelers named a head coach. Maybe you know his name. Mike McCarthy. Brendan covered the press conference and shares his inside-baseball thoughts, but is this more of the same for the Steelers or are Lombardis on the horizon again?   And Butler held a big girls wrestling tournament over the weekend, which state power Canon-McMillan dominated. Jake was there to get the lay of the land, and breaks down some of the top performances, how Knoch is doing with its coach reinstated and what might be ahead for some of the area's best wrestlers.   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/   Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com   #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #Spring2026 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #BestStudentSection #MikeMcCarthy #Pittsburgh #Steelers #KarnsCity #Mars #Butler #Knoch #SlipperyRock  #NorthCatholic #SenecaValley #Freeport  #Moniteau   This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host    

Move over, Mike Tomlin. There's bigger coaching carousel news this week!   Derek, Brendan and Jake break down last week's stories on Mars and Slippery Rock losing their head football coaches. What's next? Who might be a candidate for those teams? How good of a job are they? Oh, yeah, there's a Steelers coaching search going on. The guys discuss one of the rarest occurrences in American sports.   And Moniteau boys basketball coach Jake Jewart hops on the show to talk about taking the reigns of his alma mater from his dad and leading a surging Warriors team to a hot start. Jewart discusses what's new and what's the same in his first year, which players make him roll his eyes the most and what's ahead this season.   And finally, the PIAA announced the state soccer championships are coming to Pittsburgh's Highmark Stadium and overtime is going extinct during the regular season. What's the bigger news for high school soccer, and what does it mean going forward (besides a sorter trip for us if any local teams make the state final)?   Episode LINKS:  Coach Eric Kasperowicz leaving Mars football to take over North Hills after four playoff appearances with Planets Larry Wendereusz resigns as Slippery Rock football coach after 10 seasons, two District 10 final appearances   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/   Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com   #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #MoniteauHighSchool #JakeJewart #miketomlin #MoniteauBoysBasketball #slipperyrockpa #MarsPA      This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.     Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host

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.   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to: https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/   Follow on social media: https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com   #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #Basketball #Wrestling #GirlsBasketball #BoysBasketball  This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host
