John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters joined the first Talkin Vols show of the year Tuesday night.  Mike Murphy and he discussed the big news of the day - Logan's #1 ranking in the NJCAA preseason poll - as well as some of the new arrivals on the team and dealing with a strange upcoming season.

IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson spoke with Matt Varney about some of the burning questions surrounding Illinois High School Athletics during the era of COVID-19.  Why must IHSA ask for control of decision-making back when they are not a government entity? How can basketball players play while being expected to wear a face mask?  Is there any hope for fall sports like football, volleyball, and boy's soccer returning this fall?  All those and more questions were answered in this interview.

Mike Murphy welcomed in John A. Logan point guard Cam Alford to Tuesday night's show.  Take a listen to the Volunteers' PG before they head off to the NJCAA Tournament next week!
