You’ve heard of the big-name podcasts – Serial for true crime, Smartless for Hollywood chatter and This American Life for relatable stories. Today marks the debut of Lake Hooplands, a high school basketball podcast hosted by Brendan Morris and Scott Woodard and featuring Wildcat basketball coach Joe Duffield.
Duffield, Morris and Woodard all live in White Rock Valley and each has 3 kids processing through White Rock Elementary, Lake Highlands Junior High and LHHS. Morris and Woodard are creators of LineSight 2020 Podcast, where their discussions of pro and college sports, Queen Elizabeth and Patrick Swayze often go hilariously off the rails.
In Lake Hooplands, the trio chat about Duffield’s Wildcats, currently ranked #20 in the country. They discuss upcoming games, including matchups against Duncanville (#1 in the nation), Cardinal Hayes High in New York, Prestonwood Christian Academy and Highland Park, and they cover the overall state of high school basketball. Duffield shares his thoughts on players like Wildcat guard Tre Johnson, currently the top-ranked junior in the country, and 6-foot-9 senior Samson Aletan, the highest-ranked male recruit ever to commit to Yale basketball.
The Lake Hooplands podcast is available on all major platforms and is sponsored by Tri-Tex Cabinets and Linesight 2020. Potential sponsors may contact Brendan@linesight2020.com or Scott@linesight2020.com.
