Podcast Coverage

Season Preview Series:

Before the regular season begins, our Cover IV Podcast Football Analysts will do their best to provide you timely preseason analysis of the teams in their respective coverage areas. While we will make every effort to publish these previews before the season kicks off, the demands of preseason may occasionally affect the timing of an episode. Our coverage areas include North, Southern Tier (Broome County), Tioga County, East, and West.

Regardless of when they are released, our goal is to provide you with insightful, knowledgeable analysis of the teams and student-athletes we cover throughout the section.

Regular Season: 

Each week “Coach” Smith will analyze a "Cover IV Showdown" Game that expects to be highly competitive. Only games where both teams are from Section IV, will be considered for analysis. All classifications will be considered.

"The Second Season" Section IV Playoffs:

Each classification will be analyzed, each round.

NYS Playoffs:

The Cover IV Podcast will not cover NYS Playoff games. Although, during this portion of the season, there may be "Next Fan Up" related Cover IV Podcast episodes. Submit your "Next Fan Up" episode idea.

Post Season:

The Cover IV Podcast will have a dedicated episode for each Section IV NYS Championship Team. Each episode will vary based on the coach’s availability.
