WIDL 92.1 FM — “Let’s Talk Sports” with Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott | October 24, 2025

Back in the Advertiser newsroom with a live “studio audience,” Scott and Landyn opened with a full rewind of last week’s Game of the Week—Reese’s overtime heartbreaker vs. Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary (26–18). They broke down Steele Stricker’s two rushing TDs, Luke Messing’s pick-six, and a defensive ledger led by Beau Rasmussen (10 tackles), before pivoting to Week 9 stakes (Reese at Sandusky for playoff positioning). Mid-show, Scott soloed through a detailed rundown of cross country regionals at Harbor Beach/Wagener Park (D3/D4 schedule, traffic tips, favorites including Caro’s Luke Herron and Violet Tetil) and a marquee volleyball sweep: D2 No. 3 North Branch over No. 5 Imlay City, highlighted by Miss Volleyball finalist Aubrey Deshetsky (28 kills). The back half hit conference scoreboards, quirky banter (music takes, “pigskin profits” nostalgia), bold picks (Harbor Beach big; Cass City by two scores; USA by one possession), plus playoff projection talk spanning D7, D8, and 8-player brackets (Cass City-Laker rematch? Kingston-Brown City redux?). They closed by teeing up tonight’s broadcast: USA vs. Valley Lutheran.
