Upon their recent retirement from the long-time careers as athletic directors for Frederick County Public Schools, Mike DeSimone (Middletown High) and Mike Mummert (Walkersville High) are the guests this week on The Final Score podcast.

Mummert served for 39 years at Walkersville High, including 20 as the school's athletic director, while DeSimone worked for 26 years at Middletown High, including nine as the school's A.D.

Together, they chat with host Greg Swatek about their long careers, how they came into their jobs, some of their fondest memories and why Frederick County has become such a hotbed for high school sports.

They also share their concerns about school's being able to attract quality coaching candidates going forward and if they will be able to stay away from the high-school sports scene in the county.
