The Doghouse is a community-first sports and storytelling podcast rooted in Sikeston, Missouri. What starts with Bulldogs basketball often turns into something bigger: the people, the programs, and the moments that shape a town. Each episode blends real game breakdowns, behind-the-scenes perspective, and conversations with coaches, athletes, alumni, local leaders, and difference-makers across Southeast Missouri. If you care about Bulldog Nation and the stories that make Sikeston feel like home, you’re in the right place.
Snow on the ground, heaters humming, and Sikeston hoops catching fire—this one blends small‑town heartbeat with big‑time basketball. We open with a community roll call and a blistering recap of a statement win: 16 threes, 60 percent from the field, and a 21‑year run of winning seasons still intact. Then we welcome freshman head coach and junior high track coach Traveon Dennis to pull back the curtain on how the Sikeston way gets built day by day.
Coach Dennis takes us from packed Friday nights to frosty semifinal bus rides and into the weight room where standards were forged. He explains why college football changes your definition of “hard work,” how details decide games, and why effort is the one thing you control every single day. We dig into his blueprint for developing freshmen: extending the season into February, stacking triple‑headers, and running high‑pressure drills like the Carolina layup that force communication, conditioning, and focus under a clock. If you’ve ever wondered how a JV or freshman program really fuels a varsity winner, you’ll hear it straight from the source.
And yes—the TikTok. Coach Dennis shares the backstory of shaving his beard, hitting record, and watching authentic student reactions rocket past 8 million views. It’s funny, but it also says something about trust, culture, and why kids will run through a wall for a coach who believes in them. We close with schedule updates, girls team momentum, and a wish list of future guests—names like Mike Porter and Darryl Howard that tie Sikeston’s history to its next chapter.
