Let Them Play?

Beyond The Game

In this episode, we welcome California high school sports luminaries Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times and Serra High School football coach Patrick Walsh. The highly decorated Sondheimer has been covering high school sports for over 40 years and has been with the LA Times since 1997. Walsh is the most successful coach in Serra history, having led the Padres to eight WCAL titles and five Central Coast Section championships in 19 seasons. Walsh recently created the Golden State High School Football Coaches Community, an advocacy group whose goal is to present a data-driven plea directly to the office of Governor Gavin Newsom with the hopes of influencing a return to action plan for high school sports in California.
