After accepting his first head-coaching job last month, new Brunswick High School football coach Nick Rhodes is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Rhodes, 28, chats with host Greg Swatek about why he wanted the Brunswick job after serving as an assistant for the last five years at his alma mater, Boonsboro High School. He served as the Warriors' defensive coordinator last season.

He talks about meeting the players for the first time and laying out his expectations for them and what his first month on the job has been like so far.

Rhodes also discusses how he got into coaching, who influenced his coaching style and the type of program he expects to lead at Brunswick.

Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to chat about the Central Maryland Conference championship games for boys as girls basketball and what's ahead for these teams in the regional playoffs. They also talk about the Maryland Student Hockey League semifinals, which feature three Frederick County teams, Oakdale, Urbana and Middletown Valley.
