2014: Episode 7: Colton Bahling

Election 2015 special episode: Belvidere grad Allison Reid-Niemiec is interviewed as she runs for Belvidere School Board. She talks education, Belvidere tradition and more.

For years, the rivalry between the Belvidere Bucs and the Boylan Titans has been THE game of the regular season. Now after a 3-game win streak, the Bucs host Boylan in a true must-win situation. It all comes down to this. If Belvidere wins, they earn a playoff bid. Lose - and the regular season is over.

It's not a mission impossible. Doug Shiloh discusses the strides BelvidereFootball has taken...and how you can be a part of the success.

You've seen the slogan "Once a Buc" on t-shirts. But what does it mean? For Homecoming 2014, BelvidereFootball.com thought we'd explore what that means. We interviewed Andrew Walters. Andrew is a Belvidere grad (2002), and was a three-sport athlete: football, where he earned an all-state honorable mention as a Defensive End, wrestling, and baseball. After college, he returned to BHS - as a teacher and a baseball coach. He was a fierce and talented competitor, and passionate about teaching to his students. Listen to his story and get inspired.

Two weeks ago he led the Belvidere Bucs to a victory over the Jefferson J-Hawks, scoring 5 rushing TDs in the process. A shooting guard on the varsity basketball team, senior Colton Bahling is our guest on this podcast. You can follow him on Twitter @Coltron7

"Trainer!" To the fan or coach, it may send a chill if they hear that phrase during a game or practice. But that's when Belvidere's trainer-in-residence, Erik Smith, answers the call of duty.

Belvidere Bucs blanked the Jefferson J-Hawks 41-0 last week in Game 2 of the NIC-10 season, with much credit to the defense. Defensive linemen Austin Ziriaxe and Ron Paris join us on the podcast. Austin also wrestles and Ron plays wide receiver and during the winter plays basketball. Both are fans of the Chicago Bears.

Intensity - a word that IS Football. This week's podcast is with Belvidere Bucs' Special Teams/D-Back/Receivers coach Keegan Hill. This is Hill's second year with the Bucs. Find out who his favorite NFL team is, and if his "day job" as a BHS Math teacher helps on the football field. Also watch for the movie reference to "stoking the fire within."

Phil Baker was part of the Belvidere Bucs' championship teams in the 1990s, and now is in his second year of the squad of coaches under the helm of Head Coach Chuck Leonard. In this podcast, Doug Shiloh of BelvidereFootball.com speaks with Baker about the team and the advantages and aims of the coaching staff now that a second year in the Leonard Era is underway.
