This week Sam flies solo, with a little help from Producer Mel to discuss the Blues week. This included the Woman’s side winning the Chesapeake Division and going undefeated. The men snapped their home losing streak with a victory over Patuxent FA 2-0 off a Brady Geho brace. The Blues had plenty of chances but Jameson Metz had a big day in the opposition’s net. It’s pretty simple the blues need to win all 5 of their matches. Got any questions? Reach out to us on Twitter X @NaptownBluesPod Hiram and Sam would love to hear from you.

Naptown Blues Fancast host Sam Huston breaks down a rollercoaster week for your Annapolis Blues in the USL2 Chesapeake Division. First up: a dominant 3-0 road win against the Virginia Marauders. With squad rotation in full effect, the Blues came out hot, backed by flares and full voice from the Bay Bhoys. Matt Lenert bagged a brace and Emmett Kershner sealed it late, while Mikey Johnson made his debut. Stream issues couldn’t stop the vibes, and Sam caught up with Matt post-match for an exclusive chat. Then it was back home on Father’s Day for a gritty showdown vs. NoVa FC. After a heated first half that saw three early yellow cards for the Blues and a questionable goal for NoVa, the second half delivered chaos. Matt Lenert equalized with a beauty from an Albi Ndrenika dime, but late drama—including a gut-punch penalty and a straight red—saw the Blues fall 2-1. Also in this episode: A supporter yells, “You ruined my Father’s Day!” A check-in with the Blues Women, still undefeated and ranked 8th nationally Matchday vibes, supporter shoutouts, and a referee rant (plus Malört) Catch us on your favorite podcast app, follow us @NaptownBluesPod, and visit AnnapolisBlues.com for tickets, merch, and more.
