Connor Clamp interviews River Bluff Gator softball standout Kallie Earlington. The two discuss Earlington's walk-off game-winner in the Gators' final home softball game this season, a look back on the team's season and Earlington's softball career at RBHS, and the playoff run that River Bluff was involved in at the time of the recording.
Editor's note: River Bluff faced Wando High School in the District 6 Championship of the SCHSL AAAAA Lower State Playoffs. The Gators needed to win two games to advance to the Lower State championship bracket but fell to the Warriors in their first game, ending River Bluff's season.
Also, as our podcast experience progresses, we will tweak our format to fit our time constraints and suggestions the class comes up with during each episode's debriefing. Thus, we've decided to strictly focus on feature stories. Scores, recaps, and upcoming schedules are easy to find at RiverBluffAthletics.com.

Hello!
Welcome to RB SwampCast - a podcast for River Bluff High School athletics. This podcast is prepared and performed by students in Coach Overbay's Sports journalism class.
In our inaugural show, we are just getting our feet wet with scores, previews, and a special segment featuring an interview with outgoing coach Andre Cook, who will be taking on a new role as Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Airport High School.
Evan Cook handles the intro duties for this episode and Connor Clamp conducts the interview with Coach Cook. Jake Albright gives us a rundown of spring sports performances and scores and Weston Grant tells us what is coming up for the Gators.
The dates and events don't sync up exactly because a few events actually occurred between the time we recorded this episode and the time it was published. So, we will definitely tweak that for our next episode.
We hope you enjoy it and look forward to many more shows. Go Gators!
