In this installment of the Around the Hornet Podcast, The Hornet staff writers Quinn Cisneros and Pedro Saravia join the Editor-in-Chief Gerardo Chagolla, Producer of the show and Managing Editor Sara Leon, and the host of the podcast, Sports Desk Editor Jake Rhodes, to discuss the wide world of sports. Topics in this episode range from the Lakers Western Conference 2nd round bout with the Golden State Warriors as well as the Celtics v. 76ers and Suns v. Nuggets series, a Champions League semi final leg 1 roundup, as well as touching on Melanie Barcenas’ first professional appearance on the NWSL at 15 years old. For the debate topic, I present to the group a minor league for the NFL based on the XFL/USFL model. Gerardo has different plans in this one.
