With the 2022-23 school year now over, the supervisor of athletics and extra curricular activities for Frederick County Public Schools made his annual appearance on The Final Score podcast this week.

Kevin Kendro chats with Greg Swatek about the year that was in FCPS athletics. The discussion centers heavily on the school system adding girls flag football as a varsity sport in the fall. How challenging was the process? What sort of response has the school system gotten about adding the sport? What will the games look like? What are the rules? How are points scored? What sort of blue print will the sport create for other school districts across the state? All of those questions are addressed.

Kendro also talks about the state of the Central Maryland Conference eight years into its existence. Clear Spring was added in the last school year to give the sports league 16 teams, including the 10 from Frederick County. Kendro discusses some structural changes the CMC is making to its divisions and the way championships are awarded.

He also discusses some of the challenges that high school sports are facing on the state level, namely a shortage of game officials.
