It\u2019s an extra-busy week \u201csports-wise\u201d for us at the RCN Studio as the high school football playoffs are almost upon us, and the other fall sports\u2019 post-season are already underway as we bring the playoff coverage home to you on RCN-TV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our \u201cSportsTalk\u201d cameras were on hand for last weekend\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>girls volleyball championship between Parkland<\/a> and Bethlehem Catholic<\/a> and we\u2019ll have highlights and post-match reactions on this Thursday\u2019s program.\u00a0 While the Lehigh Valley has usually featured some of the top volleyball programs in the state, this year was a particularly competitive season with many top individual and teams\u2019 performances and the \u201cfavored\u201d teams not always getting the better of the underdog in matches this autumn.<\/p>\n

The Lafayette<\/a> football team also has an important stretch of games coming up. \u00a0 Despite their 0-7 record, the Leopards have Patriot League<\/a> contests coming up against Bucknell<\/a> and Fordham<\/a> (both games can be seen on RCN).\u00a0 If they can string together a couple victories the next two weeks, it would give them a chance at the conference title. We\u2019ll have interviews with Head Coach John Garrett and his players on this Thursday\u2019s show as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another big event coming up…the historic 100th meeting between the Bangor<\/a> and Pen Argyl<\/a> football program that will be taking place on Saturday.\u00a0 It\u2019s an event that has literally been decades in the making and one the entire Slate Belt area has been looking forward to, with much more on the line than a \u201cW.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For more on this game, check out our \u201cSportsTalk<\/a>\u201d podcast for interviews with Head Coaches Paul Reduzzi, John Smith and players from both teams as they discuss this rivalry over the years and preview Saturday\u2019s big event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last but not least, we\u2019ll get a live report from Washington on the Nationals<\/a> and Astros<\/a> in the World Series.\u00a0 Team980-AM Radio\u2019<\/a>s Nationals\u2019 beat reporter Luke Monaldo will be on our program to recap the first two games of the and give us a preview of Friday\u2019s Game 3, plus talk about the status of a few players the Phillies<\/a> (and several other teams) might covent should they reach the free agent market after the Series concludes.<\/span><\/p>\n
