On this episode of SportsBash, Peter Schwartz covers a wide range of New York sports stories, starting with a championship moment that deserves more attention.
Peter is joined by Gotham FC forward Katie Stengel, fresh off Gotham’s NWSL Championship win. Stengel talks about the whirlwind of winning a second title in three years, her game-winning goal in the playoffs, the emotion of celebrating at City Hall, and the continued growth of women’s soccer in the New York and New Jersey area. She also shares insight into the grind of the NWSL season, the short offseason, and what it takes to stay competitive year after year.
The show then shifts to Thanksgiving football traditions with a preview of the Nassau County Senior Bowl, a Long Island staple that gives high school seniors one final chance to take the field. Peter speaks with longtime game organizer Dan Agovino and Sachem East offensive coordinator Tyler Collins about the history of the game, what it means to the players and families, and the newly named MVP award honoring Tyler’s late father, legendary coach Brian Collins.
Peter also weighs in on what he’s thankful for as a sports fan, shares thoughts on the Islanders, the Yankees, and the ongoing debate around ownership spending, and wraps up with community highlights, upcoming events, and classic SportsBash perspective.
A packed episode that blends championships, local sports tradition, honest takes, and why these stories still matter.
