After recently being named the new varsity baseball coach at Catoctin High School, Will Delawter, a longtime assistant with the program, is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Delawter chats with host Greg Swatek about how he feels about taking over the program at his alma mater. After two unsettling years at Thomas Johnson High School, during which he won a state title on the baseball team, Delawter transferred to Catoctin High, and he said that decision transformed his life.

In two years at Catoctin, he acquired a mentor and life-long best friend in Mike Franklin, the former longtime coach of the Cougars, played well enough on the field to earn a full-scholarship opportunity at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and met his future wife Meaghan, with him he now raises two young boys, Liam, 10, and Max, 5.

Delawter talks in depth about all of these things. He also talks about how he feels about essentially succeeding Franklin in the job and his expectations for the team going forward.

Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the Major League Baseball Draft, which saw two Frederick County players, Linganore graduate Ben Moore and Tuscarora graduate Ryan DeSanto selected in the 12th round by the Washington Nationals and the Cleveland Guardians, respectively.

What's ahead for those two players? And the guys also explain why recent Brunswick High graduate and highly touted prospect Ty Kaunas was not drafted at all and discuss what's in store for him, as he heads to play shortstop at the University of Maryland.
