The Rock Pile
Some call me Coach "Little C," but at my core, I’m a storyteller, sports fanatic, and someone who has never stopped chasing my dreams. I’m a Fordham Football graduate and a current high school football coach, deeply passionate about the game and the impact it has on young athletes.
My journey in sports media started over a decade ago in the basement of my home—a dream that grew into something much bigger. That vision turned into a weekend live show on WKAL 1450 Rome/Utica, and today, I host multiple sports podcasts, including The Mohawk Valley Sportswatch and The Weekly Huddle, both airing on The Rock Pile.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of covering FCS football for FCS Radio Nation, A-10 Men’s and Women’s Basketball for Fordham University, and recently hosting a Coach’s Show for Colgate University. But beyond the mic, my passion extends to giving back to my community, inspiring young athletes, and using sports as a platform to share meaningful stories.
Growing up in a small town in Upstate New York, I’ve always embraced the underdog mentality—grinding, growing, and pushing forward. My love for sports and storytelling continues to drive me, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.
The Rock Pile
Between the Posts and Beyond the Pain
What does it take to compete at the Division I level as a freshman goalkeeper? Beyond raw talent and technical skill, it demands extraordinary mental fortitude—something Mikayla McPheron demonstrated when she played half a season with a broken hand that nobody, not even her family, knew about.
In this revealing conversation, Mikayla takes us through her remarkable first year at Lemoyne College where she set a school record with 16 saves in a single game against Stony Brook. The physical demands of collegiate athletics hit her immediately: "There were games that I just had ice bags all over my body. My trainer would always joke with me because after every game I'd come in there and I'd walk out with like two to three ice bags." Yet despite this punishing routine, she persevered through an injury that would have sidelined most athletes.
The most profound challenges came during her seven-month recovery period when she couldn't fully participate with her team. This forced hiatus taught her invaluable lessons about patience and perspective: "Recovery is the most important thing and if I recover now, I'm not going to have these problems in the future." For young athletes facing setbacks, Mikayla offers straightforward advice: "Stay on your own path. You are your biggest enemy in your head... use your support system."
Beyond athletic performance, Mikayla discusses balancing academics with the rigorous demands of being a Division I athlete, noting how the first semester required significant adjustment to develop effective study habits while managing travel, practices, and games. Her story serves as both inspiration and practical guide for aspiring collegiate athletes navigating their own journeys.

The Good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition here on the Rock Pile Tonight. The Rock Pile Tonight brings you episode number four of the Beyond the Game podcast, where tonight I bring on a special guest of mine, my niece Mikayla McPheron. She was the standout goalie, freshman goalie for the Lemoyne Dolphins, so we'll talk to her in just a little bit. If you're following me on Facebook, you're following me on YouTube. Make sure to hit the subscribe button. If you have any questions for Mikayla tonight or for myself, just put them in the comment box and I'll try to pull as many over as I can here this morning. I'll let you know.
Rocky:This weekend, on the Mohawk Valley Sports Watch, it looks like we are going to do a show on Sunday morning. I will be doing a show on Thursday night. I'll be talking with RFA softball coach coming off fresh a Section 3 title yesterday, so I will talk to coach on Thursday night. I'll post that. Uh, and much more. So, without further ado, this is the reschedule. We were trying to do this the last time, but unfortunately my son's baseball game went much longer than I anticipated, so we had to reschedule the show. So, without further ado, okay, let me uh, switch our screens here, so we look nice and pretty tonight.
Mikayla:All righty.
Rocky:Get you on here. How are you?
Mikayla:I'm good. How are you?
Rocky:Well, I'm really excited because you have no idea what I'm going to ask you tonight.
Mikayla:No, I do not.
Rocky:And I think the best part about it is the last time I had you on. I think it was when you made your commitment to attend Le Moyne. We talked a little bit about that. I think you're going to be a really good guest. For any young athlete that's listening to tonight's show, I think you'll have a lot of good messages on some of the health issues that you had battling an injury through the season. We'll get to that and much more.
Rocky:But I want to start with so you guys finished up your season this year. I think you guys were 2-15-2, and I think you guys are 1-7-2 in the league, which the season didn't go as planned for you guys. But where I wanted to start with you tonight is take us back to the moment when you and again we had you on here when it was the rock pile when you talked about your commitment to play soccer at Le Moyne. So I kind of want to go back in time and I want to ask you when you made the commitment to play soccer at Le Moyne at the Division I level, would that mean to you?
Mikayla:It meant a lot for me. I always wanted to go big in soccer but honestly, I wasn't really looking at division ones when I was going um for my search for colleges. I just didn't really know, like what to expect. And then I had a lots and lots of long talks with my mom about her division one, um, and obviously your division one career, and I think I was like I realized just how much soccer meant to me. So, yeah, and I'm so glad I made that decision to go to division one because it's been amazing and I just love soccer, so yep.
Rocky:And Kay talk to us a little bit too, because I think for a lot of high school athletes that are out there, you know you have Division I, you have Division II, you have Division III, and I always tell the young athletes today is, if you're lucky enough to play even at a Division III level because Division III levels for any sport is really good competition, let alone at the Division I level.
Rocky:So I think my message has always been there's very few that can play at the Division I level and there's different types of Division I. Right, a lot of people think you've got the Ohio State, you've got the Michigans and then you've got that level, division I, and then you've got a program like yourself, where know, lemoyne's just making that transition so they may not have the nil money that some of the other colleges may have um facilities and all that. But when you made that decision, I know you you always talk about and we joke with you about the transfer portal, uh, and all that. But you also like lemoyne because you like the transfer portal, uh and all that. But you also like LeMoyne because you like the school, but you like being close to home, right, being able to come and go as you please and coming to visit the family, and all that. How much did that factor in?
Mikayla:it actually had a huge impact on my decision to go to LeMoyne. I mean, obviously, like you said, lem Moyne is like a lower end division one, but I mean it's still division one and I think the being close to family was super important, because I always love when my parents are at my games and when I have my home games it's only 45 to 50 minutes away, so you guys were all able to come and it just really helps being like it helped the transition to being a division one athlete and just having that support was my everything.
Rocky:Um, so yeah, it had a huge impact what were some of the toughest parts for you? You know again transitioning from the high school game and I want to talk about the game first, but not just the physicality on your body as a goalie but what were some of the biggest transition from playing high school soccer to the college level?
Mikayla:The competition I mean we faced. We played against Maine, stony Brook, binghamton. I mean there's really no comparison. I did get a lot of shots during my senior year but just the caliber of the athletes that were on all the teams that we played, it's just such a big difference. It took me a bit of adjusting and practicing and again the support of my family, it, but I mean it's. It's really crazy just how big the difference is.
Rocky:Now, how about the physical part for you on your body I mean, being a goalie is is is physical in itself and you battle through injuries, and we'll get into that here in just a little bit. But was there a huge difference from a physicality standpoint for you on on the types of shots you face? Obviously, the shots probably were a lot more harder, faster coming at you, but what was that like?
Mikayla:It was again like very different. There was games that I just like had ice bags all over my body. My trainer would always joke with me because after every game I'd come in there and I'd walk out with like two to three ice bags on my body because of how I faced a ton of shots during the season and yeah, like the players are very physical and stuff like that. So I definitely took a toll on my body, but it was. I wouldn't trade it for the world, it was. It was really fun.
Rocky:So how do you adjust too? Because in high school you play X amount of games and then you transition over to the college level too right, I think you play more games in college than you do in high school and you've got to try to I hate to say you've got to try to rest your body. But again, your body is going through a much different type of schedule than what you went through in high school. Talk to us a little bit about the schedule compared to what it was playing at the high school level so it it was pretty different.
Mikayla:I mean, our summer was obviously my summer started. My summer got cut very short because of our preseason and we were into doubles and stuff like that. But I mean we had games twice a week and those games were pretty tough. The coaches if I had a hard game, the coaches were pretty lenient and the trainers to like pull me for a practice and just like kind of relax my body because of how physical it got. But yeah, I would definitely say it's a big difference. We, you know, practice for two hours and we had lift and all this stuff.
Rocky:But yeah, so let's talk about, let's jump right in this. You had the Stony Brook game where I think you had 16 saves and you set the single game school record for saves in a game with 16. Now, I don't know much about soccer I'm still kind of learning this thing as Madison's playing but I know that 16 saves is a lot and for a team like yourself where you faced so many shots in that game. When during that game did it click that you had a lot of saves and, um, like, what was, what was your mindset at that? At one point in the in that game did you say to yourself geez, I must have a lot of saves in this game. I've taken so many. Now I know you guys that win the game. Um, but what, what was that like? And did you know? Did you know at some point in that game where you were setting a school record?
Mikayla:Honestly, probably the first five to ten minutes of that game was just straight shots on me and I think that's where I racked up most of my saves and I just remember being like, wow, I mean it was shot after shot, like I'd save the ball, punt it up the field, come back down, save the ball repeat cycle for maybe like five to 10 minutes straight and I didn't really, I didn't really expect that I was going to break a record.
Mikayla:Like I was just kind of like, oh, this is a lot of shots and you know. And then it wasn't until, like the bus ride home I had saw that I actually broke a record. I'm like, okay, that kind of makes sense because of just how many shots I faced and I mean the first. I will never forget the first five to 10 minutes. I think I was just like it was crazy, like shot after shot and as much as I remember it, I think I kind of and it went into like a just a day and I was just like everywhere, all over my 18 yard box and again like I wasn't really expecting to have as many saves as I had, if that makes any sense.
Rocky:Yep. So okay, take me back to, so, your first official game. In that, like what were you thinking? Like, what was the mindset? Mindset, I mean, I remember my first game when I stepped on the, on the football field, and you look around and say, geez, I'm actually, you know, out here and you know, playing a college sport.
Mikayla:But like, what was it like for you when you, when you stepped in your first game, did it click to you saying, geez, I'm actually starting for a division, one team yeah, when I found out I was starting, I actually called my mom and I was like I'm starting and I was like really emotional because it was like I had worked so hard but like I had finally saw the results and stuff. And when I stepped in that and the whistle blew to the start of the first half, I definitely was freaking out a little bit and I think that's why I mean, my first game was against Maine. My first ever division one game was against Maine of all teams and it was. It was just such a surreal feeling, like I'm actually playing, I'm starting at the division one level, like it was. It was really cool, it was a really cool experience and I will never forget that game.
Rocky:So, kay, not many people know you played half the season with a broken hand, right? So how, how? Number one, how did you do it? And then number two was you know mentally for you because again I'm just going to give you my own take here as a college athlete, even in high school, like, if you get injured, somebody else has to play for you. Like, if you're out and I was always under that mindset was if I came off the field and I was injured and somebody came in for me and they played really well, as a coach, decisions gotta be well. You know the person I'm putting in for the person that got hurt is playing really well. I can't really make that change. Did that ever cross your mind to where, if you were hurt which you can't control, you come out of the game and the person behind you steps in plays well, that you could have lost your spot? Like what was your mindset?
Mikayla:It definitely. I mean it definitely crossed my mind. I mean I didn't know that it was broken the entire time so I just kept playing and I think, like the, the pain never really stopped me because again, I was like I'm in this moment, right now, I have this opportunity, it's I can handle the pain for right now and but I mean it definitely crossed my head and you know it's. But I definitely I don't I don't know it was. It was I definitely had to work extra hard in practices and stuff to, I mean, prove that I was okay.
Rocky:But yeah, so how'd you do it? Do you remember the exact play you did and what team it was against?
Mikayla:Um, so I actually broke it in a practice I it was the game before there's, the practice before binghamton and it was. We were just going over like passing sequences with the forwards and stuff and it was a 1v1 and my hand kind of went back in like to the side a little bit and I was like, oh, that kind of hurt. So I got taped, thought it was fine, because I've I've sprained my wrist many of times and it kind of felt like that at first. So I taped it up and then I just kept playing on it.
Rocky:But yeah, so, okay, most athletes I mean I mean some people deal with pain a little bit differently, and obviously you, your your pain tolerance is pretty high. But you could have shut it down, right. You could have came out and said my wrist hurts, my hand hurts, I don't know if I can go back in um. Was there ever a moment in time when you thought you couldn't keep playing, that you're gonna have to tap out?
Mikayla:there was definitely some moments where I was like I remember a practice in specific and we were doing shooting drill. We were doing a shooting drill and I had to step off to the side and kind of like have my moment and like this is really painful. But I got ice afterwards and it kind of subsided it and but I never really had the thought that like oh, like this is an actual problem, like I knew it was worse than what I was being told, but I was like I'm gonna keep playing, I need to keep playing and in games I didn't really notice it a lot so I thought that that was like fine, so I just kept taping it, I iced it constantly and just kept checking in with my trainer, do the best that I could, but I I never to that point where I was like this hurts extra bad, that I need to like sit out. So I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Rocky:Yeah, no, and I think what's always tough, too, is so I mean, I, I I bailed it just about. I had a horrible, unfortunate events where every year in college I missed spring ball due to injuries and it was really hard to sit out and watch. And I know in your case you missed some of the winter workouts, right, you missed spring workouts and you just recently got cleared back and now you're playing soccer over the summer. But what was it like for you to sit back and have to watch you, you know, and you couldn't work out. I know you're a workout freak and you like to work out, but what was that like for you having to sit out?
Mikayla:It was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever done, because I've never sat out for that long. I mean, I broke my collarbone a very long time ago but I've met. That was only like three months, four months, I think. I sat out for a total of like seven months and it was honestly really hard. But the good thing with my injury obviously, since it's my hand, I still joined in with the running workouts. We did Um, I lifted with the team, but I just did like one arm stuff or if I would squat my my my lifting coach was really good and like made adjustments for me.
Mikayla:I tried to do the most that I could without obviously further injuring myself and not using my left hand at all, and that definitely helped. But it was always. The hardest thing was I want to get back to being in that. I want to be back. But I just had to keep reminding myself that recovery is the most important thing and if I recover now, I'm not going to have these problems in the in, in the past or in the future. And yeah, but it was definitely hard. There was a time where I couldn't work out at all and that was tough, but again, I just had to keep looking towards the future and seeing that I'm going to be good enough to play and I just needed to be patient.
Rocky:How was your teammates with you throughout the whole time? Did any of your teammates kind of keep pushing you along and encourage you, saying hang in there and things are going to get better.
Mikayla:How was your teammates towards you throughout the whole time that any of your teammates kind of you know keep pushing you along and encourage you, saying hang in there, and you know things are going to get better. How was your teammates towards you? Yeah, my teammates were awesome. I mean they when I couldn't um lift and run and I would sit on. I would still go to practices and sit on the side and you know, cheer them on and stuff and and my teammates would. There was this one time my teammate came over and was like you just look so sad at the workouts, but you're doing great. Like I know you're gonna get back stronger and better than you ever were, and it was just like they were awesome. They were definitely helped in the process of um, keeping my mindset positive and hopeful towards the future, but they were awesome.
Rocky:Yeah, I think every athlete, when you go through an injury, I mean you see it in the professional side of sports too, in colleges, that I think athletes come back stronger than what they were. You know the first time before the injury and I know you came in in great shape. You know for preseason and you know you worked your butt off to get a starting spot. But would you learn about yourself? You know, sitting out you probably had a lot of time to sit back and think and reflect on everything. Would you learn about yourself through that whole time?
Mikayla:I honestly that I learned a lot about myself, like you said. But it was like realizing just how important soccer was to never take any game for granted, like any practice, even any lift, like there could be a time just like walking down my stairs and fall. And I took all that before for granted and but I mean I feel like we just had like play every game like it's your last and stuff, but it, it was definitely it. It helped me realize just how important soccer was.
Rocky:So, kay, when you look back now because obviously your freshman year is over and you had a great academic, you did very well in school, which is the most important thing, but when you look back now on your freshman year, what did you learn about the journey you went through and was there anything you might have done differently?
Mikayla:when you look back on it now, I don't really think I would do anything differently. I was I made sure to stay consistent in my workouts. When I could work out during winter I stayed supportive to, you know, like the other goalies and my team, and helped out. And the only thing maybe I would have done differently in the academic aspect is maybe paid more attention like figured out more like study habits in my freshman year, in my first semester, because it was definitely it was definitely tough, you know, like traveling and practices and games in your first semester of college. It was definitely tough, but I think that helped me progress for second semester, if that makes any sense, yeah.
Rocky:And Kay, how about for the team? Because I know you guys didn't have the greatest of seasons in your first year. But as your team transitions to the Division I level, it may take two or three years before you guys start trending in the right direction. But how tough was it for you to really come in year one where your team really didn't have a lot of success at all and the games that you played in were against the best teams you know in the league.
Mikayla:But how tough was it for you to come in um, you know your first year where a team was basically on a rebuilding, just making that transition it was pretty tough with the amount of shots I got, but it always like what I always thought about was I'm I want to help, help this team get to and you know, progress, um, but I mean I was, I'm also adjusting to vision. One level, obviously, being a freshman, being a freshman my first year. But, um, yeah, I think we're gonna make pretty big improvements. I mean, we're only second, going into our third year possibly.
Rocky:Yeah, it's definitely tough, but Okay, what would be some of the goals you know you have for yourself coming into this season? You know both individually and then as far as team goals, what would be some of those you have set for yourself and for the team?
Mikayla:For myself, I would say, just to be be honest with my body, like my wrist really really hurts then to you know, communicate that. But, um, yeah, for a team I would say just like, keep being positive and stuff like that. Um, we really struggled with scoring this year, so I would definitely say like scoring more goals or just having more opportunities in the offense. But yeah, that's pretty much it.
Rocky:Okay, obviously, you know I always I've talked to you, know I always I've talked to you know young athletes like yourself, high school athletes, college professional athletes and I always like to ask the question is you know, for young athletes listening tonight or we'll listen on the replay when we finish up what would be some of the advices, the advice you would give those athletes that are facing adversity, and whether it's an injury like you battled through, and whether it's self-doubt, whether it's pressure and obviously at that level or any level, the pressure that young athletes face today and with the state of mental health today in sports, what advice would you give the young athletes?
Mikayla:I would just say to stay on your own path you are your biggest like enemy in the head and just to keep pushing yourself, use your support system, I would say is the most important thing. With injury, I would definitely, definitely just look towards the future. Recovery is the most important thing. Just be patient. My mom was always, always telling me I just need to be patient and I'll be back in the net. Um, but yeah, just keep encouraging yourself and don't be so hard on yourself. Um, you know you're doing what's best for you. You're pushing yourself, Um, but never, never, self doubt yourself. Um, but yeah.
Rocky:I think I think what's really cool is, I think, now that you come back and you know you, you have a year under your belt, I know you're doing a lot of uh, you stuff, you, you do some goalkeeper with, training, with with young kids how much does that mean to you? You know, here I am at 45 years old and and I feel like I I like to give back, we want to give back. But what's that mean to you, now that you're now coaching and mentoring, uh, being a mentor to some of these young athletes, and now you're training?
Mikayla:It's honestly my favorite thing. I love it so much. I love just giving back to youth because obviously they're going to be pursuing stuff, but I think it really helps a lot with me mentally and stuff and it's like I'm helping, helping these younger athletes and I think they really enjoy it too. Um, but yeah, it's definitely my favorite. I love it so much, um, just giving back and using all my knowledge that I've grown throughout all the years with all my amazing goalie coaches and just like projecting that onto younger athletes to hopefully help them, you know, reach their goals and stuff, and I think it's really amazing okay, what?
Rocky:what's something that people may not know about you off the field? We know you're a competitor on the field, but what's something that people may not know about you off the field?
Mikayla:Off the field? I'm not really sure. I mean, all I really do is like I really enjoy spending my time working out. I mean I've been getting in the gym a lot more. I've been going to the field and doing practicing my goal kicks and punts. Yeah, I don't really know. To be honest, it's a hard question.
Rocky:I had to stump you a little bit. How about Dolphy Day? Tell us about Dolphy Day. How was it? I know it was always breaking your chops on it. I was there many years ago with Statman at Le Moyne. But how was Dolphy Day? Was it everything that people say it is?
Mikayla:Dolphy Day is pretty amazing. If you're choosing between Le Moyne and another school, make Dolphy Day the reason you come to Le Moyne. It's really fun, it's great. The teachers are, so they're pretty lenient, obviously, because it's like it's Dolphy Day, like you're not, you're not gonna have kids in class. Um, it was just so fun and the vibes of campus that day were oh my god, it was so it was. It was really great to see everybody come together and just have fun. The food's pretty good and just like again the atmosphere. It was a beautiful day too. It was like perfect weather. But yeah, dolphy Day is definitely worth. If you're coming to Le Moyne, be ready for Dolphy day.
Rocky:Okay, toughest course. You took theology.
Mikayla:It have to be the theology or um my psychology, brain and behavior.
Rocky:Psychology, brain and behavior.
Mikayla:Yes, psychology, brain and behavior.
Rocky:Yes.
Mikayla:Ooh, and that was.
Rocky:I took that one during my first semester and I'm pretty sure it was hey, maddie Want to say hi to Kay. Kay, she wants to say hi to you. Yeah, hi, maddie, hi Another numberdie Hi, another number 33.
Mikayla:Yeah, future forward. Not a goalie Kidding, I don't know how you did. Did you win?
Rocky:your game.
Mikayla:Did you have a game? Yeah, we had two, but we lost goals, that's okay, you win some, you lose some. Do you have a game? Yeah, we had two, but we lost goals. That's okay. You win some, you lose some. Did you score any goals? Yeah?
Rocky:Good, she wanted to say hi to you. They were just getting home so I wanted her to jump on. So last question I got for you, kay, and I know what the answer is going to be here, but I'm going to ask you anyways biggest supporters for you through tough times, the good times um, I know what your answer is going to be, but gotta ask the question because we all go through tough times and I think that's the fun part of me doing this show behind, beyond the game, is because there's more. There's more to life than just sports. Right, there's different things that we face and in your case, you faced a significant injury where you were fortunate enough to find a way to get through the season and then you had to sit out and now you're coming back better than ever, and through those times you got to have people around you, a good support system. So who's that support system for you?
Mikayla:I mean obviously my family. Do I have to pick one in specific?
Rocky:no, you don't, that's I. I knew that was the answer it was. I knew that was the answer was an obvious question. Uh, for me, but I think, in even when you, you know, you get out of sports and you still got to have that support system, because there's never there's going to be tough days, good days.
Mikayla:So I, I knew what the answer was going to be, so, um, but I figured I'd still ask you so yeah, I mean I could, I could, I could point out my mom, because she was my workout buddy when I had one arm to work out with and she always annoyed me about just being patient through my injury. But yeah, everybody just was a great help and made me remind myself that I just need to be patient so off season you're playing soccer.
Rocky:Now, right, you're playing some summer soccer, and then when you have to report back to school, you guys start earlier this year.
Mikayla:July 27th okay which isn't too bad. I mean, it's two days earlier than last year, but the following year it's going to be even earlier than July 27th.
Rocky:Yeah, you said that'll be a lot earlier, right? I think it was two weeks earlier, something like that, right, yeah?
Mikayla:It's like mid-July. Oh my goodness.
Rocky:So that'll be fast.
Mikayla:Yeah, I guess we'll see.
Rocky:Okay, gonna. I? I said I was gonna go a half hour with it. I'm looking at my timer. I was just a little over a half hour, so perfect timing. I'm glad we were finally able to, uh, you know, touch base and finally uh, make this thing happen. So I appreciate it and uh, as you know, we're all proud of you and we look forward to. I got to come because I got so much LeMoyne gear now I got so many shirts and stuff to wear. I got more LeMoyne gear than I got anything else, so we'll be ducking LeMoyne gear. Aunt Lindsay bought us new chairs, so we're ready to go come fall, I got new chairs, new chairs for the game.
Rocky:So we'll be ready, but we're proud of you, we love you and I appreciate you jumping on.
Mikayla:I appreciate you having me.
Rocky:All right, kay, thank you.
Mikayla:Thank you, bye-bye.
Rocky:So that was my niece, michaela McFerrin, who jumped on with me here tonight and I love talking to young athletes and you know everybody has different things that they battle through and hers was an injury that she found a way to finish the season off and nobody really knew she had a broken wrist. I don't even think my sister and our family knew she broke it until you know the end of the season. But she found a way um great support system. She's got a great family behind her and I think that's what that's. What we all need is a great support system. She's got a great family behind her and I think that's what that's. What we all need is a great support system and she had a great year and she'll I know she'll be on the bigger and better things in year two. So I appreciate you tuning in tonight.
Rocky:Thursday night I'll post it. I'll be doing an interview talking RFA softball as they're fresh off a section three title yesterday. I don't know who they're playing yet, but I believe they are playing Friday. I don't know who they're playing yet, but I believe they are playing Friday. I don't know if they're playing out in Buffalo or they're playing out in Binghamton. I've heard a couple different things, but I'll talk to coach a little bit more about that. Sunday the Mohawk Valley Sports Watch will air. We're going to shoot the air Sunday morning but I'll confirm that later on with the guys. So again, I want to thank everybody for tuning in here tonight. I want to thank my niece for jumping out with me tonight here on the Beyond the Game podcast. I always say here on the Rockpile the Rockpile is where dreams become reality.
Mikayla:Have a good evening everybody.
