"Diving is definitely the way we still get that excitement."

Mars diver and newly crowned WPIAL and PIAA medalist Marin Raible hopped on "Eye on Sports" to talk about her transition from gymnastics to diving and what it was like to win multiple medals. But first, we stumble all over ourselves to get the interview started as she laughs at our expense.

The guys talk spring sports. Can Mars boys and girls lacrosse make it 10 and four WPIAL titles in a row, respectively? We've been unleashing our athletes to watch lists this week and break down some of the big names to know in lax, track, baseball and softball.

Plus, Jake has an update on College Football Hall of Fame Terry Hanratty and his cancer battle after talking to the Butler legend. Don't worry, the jokes are still flying!

"Speaking of flags..." Warmer weather means outdoor sports are back. And that means storylines.

Jake is all on board the flag football train. The first PIAA-sanctioned season began in the past week, and Mars, Seneca Valley and North Catholic will be part of the debut season. What can we expect? What's there to be excited about? (Answer: more football!) And is boys flag football next?

Derek and Jake also talked about the NBA's tanking "problem." When presented with some ideas, here is what Derek believes might help.

And is Mars having the best year overall so far in the 2025-26 school year? Or is another school's athletic department winning our entirely made up "Butler Eagle Bowl?"

And you there! Like and subscribe to "Eye on Sports!" Or else! Jake's serious!

Butler's Santino Sloboda won his fourth medal, bronze, at the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships, closing out a historic career. Jake was on site with coverage, highlights and interviews with the man of the weekend.

And with it feeling like a (soggy) spring finally, you better be watching some baseball. Mars Planets fans have reasons to be excited, with David Bednar pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and facing his younger brother, Will, in a scrimmage against the San Francisco Giants a week ago. But they may not even be the hottest names with local ties. St. Louis Cardinals top prospect JJ Wetherholt looks all but set to win the starting job and contend for National League Rookie of the Year. Derek and Jake react to an exciting spring.
