What Is The Dugout Sportscast?

The Dugout Sportscast is Washington County, Maryland’s dedicated high school sports media platform. We cover every school, every sport, and every student-athlete in the county with the depth and respect they deserve.

Through our podcast, YouTube channel, and editorial coverage, we give athletes, coaches, and teams a platform that mainstream media often overlooks. Every game matters here. Every athlete has a story worth telling.

We are committed to Washington County. Not regional coverage that happens to include the county. Not occasional game recaps. Consistent, dedicated, in-depth coverage of all seven Washington County high schools and their athletic programs.

Our Mission

  • Platform every Washington County student-athlete

  • Deliver consistent, high-quality sports coverage

  • Connect schools, families, and the community

  • Give coaches and players a voice beyond game scores

  • Build the definitive archive of Washington County HS sports
