With his team still unbeaten near the midpoint of the season, Walkersville High girls soccer coach Paul Bryan is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Bryan chats with host Greg Swatek about the strengths of his team and if it has legitimate hopes of winning the program's first state championship in Class 2A.

The two discuss some of Walkersville's great girls soccer teams in recent years, including the team that made the run to the 2A championship game in 2018, and where this season's team ranks by comparison.

Plus, Bryan explains why he doesn't get carried away with expectations or future results.

Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writers Alexander Dacy and John Cannon join Greg to look back on Week 4 of the high school football season here in Frederick County, including the big showdown between Oakdale and Linganore, and look ahead to Week 5.

They also talk about other prominent headlines during the county's fall sports season.
