Hawk Talk rings in its 80th episode live from The Green Turtle for Homecoming week. Tom Frank, with co-hosts Greyson and Jaden, kicks things off with a full South River sports rundown—boys’ and girls’ soccer, field hockey, volleyball, and a 4–0 football start—before previewing a neon-soaked Rave Night vs. Severn with Coach Erxleben. Then it’s alumni time: Mitch Suplee, David Foust, Mike Sammeyer, and Ron Rossi drop stories about boom-boom pregame chants, “Legacy Field,” and rivalry lore. Tradition doesn’t graduate—press play, feel the lights, and keep it 1–0.
