Pencil Busters, can you believe we're in the playoffs for winter sports already? Today, we catch up with Chad Holmes, host of the WXCO morning show and Civic Media sports broadcaster. He's been extremely busy covering playoffs for wrestling, hockey, and basketball. With the end of the season upon us, he shares updates, surprises, and lessons learned. As we discuss here at BustED Pencils, these school sports are not extra-curricular. They are essential curricula for students to learn and practice life skills and navigate challenging moments. The playoffs bring their own set of unique circumstances for students to learn, grow, and develop. Follow Wisconsin's high school sports schedules and events through WIAA.

This will be our final Wisconsin high school winter sports episode on Fridays. Stay tuned for next week's Friday pod with more of Dr. Johnny's WSU hockey support staff. And then we'll be altering the focus of this weekly segment. Join us for more educated educators, talking education then!
