  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show. Thank you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: well for joining us for a Week thirteen of the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis High school football season, previewing the top fifteen
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: games of the week. Not entirely in our area. We
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: actually have nine games in our area. That's what happens
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: when the season keeps going on and more and more
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: teams get eliminated.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about a few Missouri of you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Know, non Saint Louis games for you and that's where
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we will start off with.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: With our number fifteen game.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Of the week, we go West Plains at Hannibal the
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Class four playoffs. Hannibal is favored by ten and a
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: half points the Overns at fifty nine and a half.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: West Plains so far having a solid season. They are
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: nine to two. They defeated Carl Junction in the Class
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: four District six championship game. There are only two losses
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: this year to Mountain Home, which is an Arkansas team,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: and then Branson.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Decent Branson team by the way.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there will be Carl Junction twice this year, which
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: is pretty impressive. Carl Junction a solid year.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They beat them by seven and Week nine and then
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: beat them thirty six to six, and the district championship
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: games a.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Huge step up for there for the Zizzors, one of
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the more unique mascots in Missouri. And then for Hannibal
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: they are also nine to two on the year. Their
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: best wins of the year would, I would say be
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: against Troy. I mean, beating Shore by twenty eight is
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: pretty impressive. You know, a three point loss to Halias,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: an unheated Classics team who just won a district title,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'd say it's pretty impressive. And then another three point
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: lost we know the a Classics district title winner in
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Zima West. So the only two losses this year for
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Hannibal are two Classics teams who are still.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Playing by three points.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: That's very impressive. And Hannibal defensively totally handled a really
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: good Odessa team as well, which I think is really impressive.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know much about the individual players for each team.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I don't, but they are very reliant on the run game,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: they are pretty physical, obviously a pretty defense, really good
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: defensive team. You know, outside of the Zumoe West game.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Really where they gave up thirty one points, they've been
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: really good there and Yeah, this is a team that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of expectations before the season. I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this is a quality program every year, so they're always
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in the mix. And yeah, they were able to get
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: out of a really tough Class four District five championship up. Yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: district there, so I got them beating West Plains in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: this one. I'm going to verify that real quick.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: We've got Handibal covering. I'm going with the under.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I got Hannibal covering and I will Yeah, I agree
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with you and take the under two.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: All right. Next up, staying Class four, we got Carney
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: at Warrensburg. Carney theored by twenty eight and a half points.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Here overs at fifty two and a half. The Corny
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Bulldogs are eleven and oh so far in the year.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Their closest game all season was a fourteen to seven
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: win against park Hill, which is a classic school I
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: believe out in the Ksey area. Other notable wins for
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: them are a twenty eight to fourteen to win against
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the Green Valley, who is the Class five district champion.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: They beat North Kansas City, who was a Class sixth
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: district runner up, twenty four to twenty oh. That was
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: after the closest game of the year was a four
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: point winning with North Kansas City. Yeah, they beat Fode
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: oh Sage, they beat Smithville, They're able to beat Van
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Horn and Savannah meaning Savannah twenty four zero, I think
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is really impressive.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That's their best one of the season. Shout out the number.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Savannah was the number two team in the state in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Class four.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Savannah came into the game ten and one.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They're only lost being in a double overtime loss to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Saint Pious As Yeah, from Kansas City.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And you know, this is a colony program that has
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: been really really good this past decade or so, five
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: state championships overall as a program for them. This is
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: their fourth straight ten plus win season for the Bulldogs.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: And that's a program in a community that go all
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: in football and it pays off almost every year for Warrensburg.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: They're eating three so far in the year. Pretty solid
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: teaser for them. Their noble wins came against Cameron Moberley.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: They beat Clinton, solid Clinton team and they beat Nevada
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five to win Class four District seven.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They're yeah, they're there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: They do have them and Carney or no, I was
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: thinking about handl never mind they did. I was thinking
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about Odessa. They lost to Odessa forty two twenty eight.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Uh there, and then yeah, Harrisonville. Yeah, so they've had
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a few weird losses.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost Smith Cotton seventeen to seven.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That was the first game of the season though, And yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they got out of their district. That was a good
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: win over Novette, Nevada twenty eight twenty five. But Karney
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is on a roll right now, especially after shutting out
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Savannah like they did. I'm gonna I'm gonna yeah, I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: gonna have them cover that minus twenty eight and a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: half spread. And interesting, I'm going with Corney in the under.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I see you did that. Yeah, I will. I'll be
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a little different.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I'll take the actually, no, I'll take the under as well.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It seems like whenever whenever Carney plays like a decent
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to pretty good team, they don't put up a ton
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of points, but their defense has been great all season though.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Shifting over to Class two got Saint Pias from Festus.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: They're playing Montgomery County in the Class two quarterfinals. Saint
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Pias is favored. Uh oh, I'm sorry, Montgomery County is
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: faired by seven and a half points. Here the overrunners
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: at forty six and a half. Some quick contexts on
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: these teams. So Montgomery County they are nine to two
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: so far in the season. Some of their notable wins
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: of the countyainst North cal Or the lost North Calory.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Sorry they beat South Calaway though they beat South Calway.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: They beat Van Farr who's a Class one district champion.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: They're able to beat Wright City over time. Solid team
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: and they if he had a bowling green in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: district championship game. Saint Pias they are seven to five
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: so far in the season. Uh, their best win was
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: definitely against Cruisersville to win the district championship. That was huge,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and then they beat Saint Vincent as well, so that
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: was also a nice win. This should be a pretty
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: fun game. We talked a little bit last episode about
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: how you know this is Saint Pias. This is their
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: first district title and lord knows how long have they've had.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: They've had a lot of solid seasons recently, but they've
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: just never quite crested the hill of district champion. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: now they've got some hardware. Now they got their really
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: good season through and the guy for them is Cody Shaver.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I mean not Cody Schrader, Cody Shaver. Two hundred and
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: ninety one carries in the season so far to east,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: two thousand, six hund and forty five yards, twenty nine touchdowns,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: averaging nine yards per carry. He is just we we
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: had several amazing running backs in the Saint Louis area
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: and he just does not get much attention because he
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: plays for a very small school. Yeah who you know
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: recently hasn't had the best success. But man, he's absolutely
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: incredible and is making the case to be an All
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Metro player and he is going to be a serious problem.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But I think Montgomery County is a really good team.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I think Saint Pius covers, but I think Montgomery County wins,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to go with the over.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken. And this is I'm looking off
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of Misha's website. That was this the sixth State Ups,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the sixth district championship that Saint Pius X has won,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and I, if I'm not mistaken, that's their first since
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so before.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Any of these players were even born well before Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So they had a pretty good run from ninety four
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to two thousand and one, but since then they've not
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: been as good. But yeah, I guess the last few
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: years this has probably has been the best they've been
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: since around that time frame.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who are you going with their?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Oh? I do not know much about any of the teams.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: In fact, I mean I only know a little more
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: about Saint pis X because we know that Cody Shaver
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is a fantastic running back for them. There, I guess
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I'll take Montgomery cover, Montgomery cover. There you go, Montgomery
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: County to cover, and I'll take the under.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: All right. Next up for the Class five bracket, we've
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: got Platte County at Grand Valley. Platte County is favored
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: by fifteen and a half points the over runers at
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: fifty three and a half. Platte County escapes against Rockhers.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: A really good Rockers team, I must say. But this
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Platte County team, I believe, has been ranked as a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: number one team in Class five all year. They have been,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and they were losing for a while as Rockers when
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: they came back thanks to some Rocko Area on heroics.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Platt County stays undefeated.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: They are eleven to zero by far the closest game
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they've had all season, but still good thing to win
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that because that's a really good Rockers team they still
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: knocked off.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Platt County's closest game the entire season
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: was a three to one point win against Graham Valley
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: in mid two. And here we are are playing them
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: again in the Corps finals, and you know, Green Valley
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they're having a really good year. They're eating three, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you know, they've got good, good wins against ray Town,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: building buildings, a solid team, they beat them. But Platte County,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I think is on a whole different level. And these
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: two teams played earlier in the season and Platt County
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: had zero problem winning comfortably. So I'm gonna go with
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the Pirates to cover, you know, I'm gonna go to
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the over.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Platte County, I mean, they got an embarrassingment of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: riches on offense with their receiving corps and even they
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: can run the ball pretty well too, And their defense
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: going in the season was kind of there, if you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: could say they had a week. The closest thing they
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: have to weakness is probably their defense. But they've done okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: even in the Rockers game, they still win game up
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: twenty two points. It is actually actually decent, so to speak.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Platt County
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: in the in this one here. You know, they you'd
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like to think, if you're a Black County fan, you'd
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like to think, Okay, that was their one scare that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they'll have in the playoffs. Then you know, hey, realize, hey,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: look we can be beaten. So I'm gonna have them
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: cover and take the over.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Plat County is right now, they are riding a twenty
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: five game winning streak. Yeah, there's their longest winning streak
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: in school history heading over to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: You would think so at least or is there somewhere
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that says.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: That I would, Well, just looking at their mission page,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: they've outside of there's the championship game, state championship season.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Last year. They had had at least two losses a.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Year usually okay, usually two or three losses, right, Ye,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I know that it got to be their biggest winning
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: streak in a really.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Long time, at least the century is.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because they've had some they've had They've I
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: think they've won five state championships twenty five in a.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Row is yeah, very difficult.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: It is. It is next step heading over to Class six.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: We had Liberty at least some of the Liberties feared
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: by five and a half points year over at forty
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: five and a half. This is probably the biggest a
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: game going on that those folks are gonna be looking at.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: There's other KC teams playing like Platte County and Green Valley.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: But very that's a that's a very big game too.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: This is a huge game.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I mean least Summit seven and four, they had one
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: of the more manageable districts, I guess you could say,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: but you know, they're not seventy eight winning streak. They're
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: riding and high. They beat North Kansas a CELA North
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Kansas City Team forty two twenty one in the district
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: championship round, which is pretty impressive. And then Liberty and
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: their rivalry game, they defeated Liberty North forty five to
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: thirty one.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And these these teams played each other at the beginning
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of the season in Week one and Liberty won that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: twenty one to thirteen.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: It was a close and exciting game, and Liberty's one
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: loss in the year was to Blue Springs South, who
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: you know, they're not in our area, so I don't
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: want to talk about them too much, but this really
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: what Blue Springs South did this year, you could say,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: is one of the most disappointing seasons ever a.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Team to go nine and then be.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Ranked is a lot of people had them ranked above
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: CBC in Class six.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Some did, I didn't. Well, I think that maybe more
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Kansas City people did.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And then they go out and just completely land egg
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: against rival Blue Springs and lose.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And Blue spring it makes it worse because Blue Springs
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: didn't even be Halias.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is just that's bad. That's really really bad.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And you know, Blue Springs South doesn't even ply becase.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I don't want talk about them too much, but this
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: is a really good Liberty team and a really good
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Least Summer team. But I'm going to go with Liberty
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: to cover here, and I'm gonna go with the Unders.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: It's hard to pick because I know I've been high
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: on Liberty all season. Yeah, but at least some they've
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: been on a tear and yeah, look they won some
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: games that they yeah they should have won. Yeah, at
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: least some of North twice is impressive, and I know
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: North Kansas City is pretty good, not the greatest, but
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: still to beat them forty two to twenty one is
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: really nice considering that, you know, North Kansas City had
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a really good offense, and you know, at least someone's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: a pretty athletic and physical team. But Liberty is really
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: physical as well. They're one of the most physical teams
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: in the entire state. And they've had a incredible season.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, their only loss was too you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it's a little stunning. They lost them by thirty nine points.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That was the game where I think a lot of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: people in the state thought that, Okay, if.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Blue Springs can do that, they they can beat anybody.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Probably could have. But obviously they stay lost, which we
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: have highlighted.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: You know, Liberty they've got you know, good wins over
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: at least some at least some at Liberty, Liberty North,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and then North Kansas City.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: They also beat North Kansas.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: City forty two twenty one, just like some some just
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: did this past week. I'm gonna go with it's a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: home game for it is a home game for Liberty.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I will.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Oh it is okay, all right, I could see it
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: right there. I will go with the Eagles to win
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this one again.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: And I don't really I.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Just Liberty of the Blue Jays of the Blue Okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Liberty North is the Eagles, both of av and variety.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure some Liberty folks that might listen to
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: this are gonna take offense to that because you just
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: called them their rival's mascot blues.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was thinking of our Liberty Eagles from Winsville.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Not quite yeah, but yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So going with the Blue Jays another great name, by
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the way, I love that name, and yeah, take them
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: there and they got they have a fantastic rushing attack
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and they're I think they're This was kind of the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: year for Liberty going looking back a few years ago,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people were speaking very highly of
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: their twenty twenty six class and these guys are seniors now,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: so I'm I'm gonna go with them, not just purely
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: off of that, but they do have a really good
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: playoff experience, and you know that's important. So I'll have
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Liberty covering it, covering, and I'll take the over.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: All. Right. Next up, staying in class six, we got
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Halaias at Nixa nix set favored by nine and a
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: half points the overrunners at fifty one and a half.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Nixakin survived a scare from Joplin this past week. They
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: won forty two twenty eight, but I believe Joplin was
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: leading twenty one to seven at one point. They were mistaken.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: They were caught me off guard.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: But the knix To Eagles come through and win. This
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: is a KNIXA team that is riding a twenty eight
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: game a regular season winning streak. This is a program
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that underhead coach John Perry, has been absolutely incredible down
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: down in the Springfield area. I mean they have been.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: They've been the best team in this direct sprinkle area
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: for a while. Yeah, I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: include you know, Joplin, Webb and Carthage in the Springfield area.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: But they're definitely a SOUTHWESTMNS every team. Yeah, but in
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: that Springfield metro. I would absolutely have Mixa just totally
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: run run the show down there. And for them to
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: come back as Jopline and really just dissert themselves and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: go on that thirty five to seven run, I think
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: is pretty impressive. And Halias, you know, they they surprise
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: other people, and a lot of people saw Halias go
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: nine to zero and just doubt them really because they
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: did play too many Class six teams and then maybeas
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: using the schedule. But they're not a very big school.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're not buying a Roman's classic school. They
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: had a success factor because they won state and then
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: they're also a private school.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Right, success factor is gonna go up another point because
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: they wanted Discert championship and it's they keep winning, it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, they're gonna further lock themselves in the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Class SIS for a while.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: But I think I think Nix is gonna be too
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: much for them. But this is it's it's gonna be.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I think it will be a pretty good game because
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that Halis was able to get past Blue.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Springs says a lot.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You know, they're a physical team and Austin Weaver is
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a fantastic quarterback.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I got to see him play against Lift for life.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: He can throw, and he's a He's a really good runner,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: especially a north and south runner. He's able to take
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of hits and he's a really good short
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: down runner too. Whenever they seem to like whenever they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: need a you know, the convert on a you know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a third and three or a you know, a fourth
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and one or whatever, like they always seem to get it,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and they're they got a nice offense where they are
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: they really they remind me a little bit of Lafayette,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: where the're really good at just kind of taking taking
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: what defenses give them.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: And so I think this is.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Going to be a really fun game, to be honest
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: with you, But I still have NIXA winning. I do
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: have them, I do have them covering, and I will take.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: The over Yes, we agree on that one. Next up
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: into our more Saint Louis area teams playing in the
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Class three we gotta Lift for Life versus Dexter kind
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: of Lift for Life favorite by thirty five and a
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: half points. Here the over runners at sixty four and
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a half. So funny enough, these two teams actually played
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: last year in this exact spot in the Class three
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: quarter finals, and last season Lifts Life they laid the
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: wood on Dexter. They won fifty to twelve. Last season
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: they beat a previously undefeated Dexter team by thirty eight points.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: So Dexter again, they're having a solid season. They're ten
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: and one so far. They defeated Potosi in their district
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: championship game. You know, they they've had They've had some
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: good wins this year so far against park Hills Central,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: they beat Scott City twice, they beat Potosi. Is good.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: They don't really have a particularly good win or they
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: don't have like a signature win on their schedule, which
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is why I think, you know, me doing Class three rankings,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I struggled ranking them this season and just and then
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: they finally lost to you know, probably the best team
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: they saw the regular season, which was park.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Hill Central twenty two twenty one, close game. But Lived
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: for Life. On the other hand, they are.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Lift for Life, has a different machine. Very I think
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: they're going to.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Cover pretty easily, very battle tested for Life.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: In the under they were able to get past Saint
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Genevieve and and then Valley Catholic and scored forty eight
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: points in both those games, by the way, and you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: know they've played Halias Catholic, They've played Father Tolton, they
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: beat them, they lost the slew by one, and then
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you know they beat Kahokia and in my CDs, so
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: this I know, I've been a little like tough on
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Lift for life. As far as just saying like these
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: guys can play, they got these guys can play better
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: than what they have.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Been producing on the field as far as results go.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: But this is a game.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Where they really should be winning, and you know, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: think should win by a decent amount.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll have That's a that's a big spread though,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So I actually I have Dexter covering that because that's
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: just it's a lot of points right there. But I
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: do have I will take the over though, all.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Right, next up into Class four, we got Festus at
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Sullivan Festest paper by nine and a half the over
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Arms at forty nine and a half Festest. They were
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: champions of Class War District one, and we talked about
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Sullivan's pretty insane double overtime winn against Viannia where they
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: went for two and double o teen, had do or
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: die situation and they had won. So huge win for
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the Eagles, their first district title in quite a while.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And Festus and this is a team that was the
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: classical runner ups last year and they've got they continue
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: to play a man coverage on defense very well and
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: they were able to shut down North County's offense in
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the second half pretty effectively. And you know, the Festest
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: is a team that kind of flies on under the
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: radar a lot every year because you know Bingham, Jeff
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: co not, You're not They're not in the center of attention.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: But they've got great coaching and a good amount of
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: talent that comes through every year. When they're nine and
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: two so far this year, and Parker Perry's had a
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: really good year throwing the ball. I mean He's thrown
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: thirty three touchdowns only one interception, which is crazy when
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: you think about it. Keep the ball very very safe there.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: And then Leontay Williams just got over a thousand rushing
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: in the season, so congratulates him. So this is a
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: really really good Festust team for Sullivan. They actually put
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: their stats in last week and which we really appreciate.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: And they have a really good rushing attack. They had
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: three hundred rushing yards against Yanni, which was a decent
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Yonnie defense. Yeah, and so this this should be an
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: interesting game. I think this is gonna be a fun,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: high scoring game. I think Sullivan's gonna cover. I'm gonna
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: pick Festus to win, and I'm gonna go with the over.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: These teams do have a common opponent with North County.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Festus just beat North County forty two twenty four. Sullivan
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: lost in North County twenty four to twenty two in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Week nine.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: And I just I.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Think Viannie's got this one. I think it's it's theirs
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to lose. I mean, they got to go on the road,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: but it's not a far drive for them, not really
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: at least, and not that it should really matter. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: as far as the weather's being good, should be okay
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: there too. So yeah, you mentioned Perry, He's had a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: fantastic season.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: This is like two years in a row.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Fantastic quarterback play by the Tigers with two different guys,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and they got multiple I mean you mentioned Williams with
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: over one thousand yards camp in Yates. He's got six
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six yards on the ground too. Two
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: running backs were very capable of over one hundred one
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: hundred carries each, and they got they got good weapons
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: at receiver, particularly David Russell and Jackson Frank, two guys
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: who both have over six hundred receiving yards and over
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. And so the Tigers can beat you in
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of different ways and Sullivan's more of a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Grand and Pound team, and and.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Also fests, they're they're more battle tests.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got, they got, They've played to Smett Jackson,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: took took their looks in those games. But then they
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: beat Farmington, who's in the quarterfinals in Class five forty
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: one thirty six, and that that was a dramatic game.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I remember talking about that. And they they beat Hillsborough twice.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Who's who's a good program. So I'm gonna go with
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the Tigers to win this game here. And let's see
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: with the spread. Yeah, I got them covering that spread
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and I'll take the over all.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Right, next tuped over to the Illinois side. This is
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the Class six South semi final game in Illinois, East St.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Louis at Saint Lawrence eas St. Louis favored by thirty
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: four and a half. The over runs at fifty and
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: a half. East Lewis, I think you looked it up
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: earlier has won seven straight games in the Illinois playoffs
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: by thirty five or more that don't include the state
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: title games. So really, I mean they've just been completely
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: destroying anyone who comes in their way in the playoffs
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and you know, Bourbank is just in Quick Influence or St. Lawrence.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: They're in Burbank, Illinois, some Quick infl On. Then they
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: are eight and four so far in the season, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: they defeated Dunlap, Bradley, Bourbone and Community High School in
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Oaklawn to get here. Their losses are to some really
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: good teams though. They lost to Mantini, who is the
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: favorite to win Class four. They lost to Brother Rice,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: who I think is still alive in Class six. Last seven. Oh,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Brother I still lie in the Class seven.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Lost of Fenwick, who's alive in class seven?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Really would be Central Burlington?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we'll go yeah.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And then you know, we're all familiar with East Lewis and.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: How is Class six by the way for Fenwick?
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, shoot, just looking at it, it's funny just
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: looking at East Lewis's stats because they never really do
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: anything crazy offensively because their defense just puts them in
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: such good field position almost every drive that they just
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: don't have room to put up crazy yard numbers. They're
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: almost they're like they're always starting at the fifty or closer.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: It's kind of ridiculous, but you know they're they're memorable
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: wins this year. Being playful least by the much they
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: did was huge. Beating chadd On Glenwood Buy thirty nine
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: is huge, and then they crushed Simeon absolutely critical stuff.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: And so someone proves me otherwise outside of the state
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: title game, I'm gonna go with East Lewis to cover here,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with the over.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna have the agree with their you two
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: pretty much.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You know, Saint Lawrence is it? I mean too battle
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: tested teams in different ways.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I mean Saint Lawrence they've played against a lot of
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: really good Chicago schools that have you know, obviously have
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: gotten them this far prepared wise for the playoffs, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: they've they have not seen anybody like like eas Saint Louis,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, it could be an interesting.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Game up there. But Saint Louis, they mean eas St. Louis,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: They've covered in every game so far.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to go with that, and I'll
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: take the over too, So we agree, all right?
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Next up, Yeah, Kirkwood at Farmington the Missouri CLASSI five quarterfinals.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood there by seventeen and a half over Is at
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: fifty five and a half. Kirk would be talked a
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: lot about their game and Eureka last week and how
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: the kirkward defense, just especially the front seven, really impressed us.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: And they fled the ball really quickly, just able to
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: beat the Eureka League blockers to the hole and just
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: cause a lot of problems. So this, this kirklel defense
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: has been getting better and better every single week. I mean,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: these guys. The only time they allowed more than twenty
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: one points to a team was Lafayete lead three. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: you know, use using some flawed logic, could say, oh, well,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Kirk's defense is much better than CBC's defense because CBC alad,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: we're sixty points Lafayette. Yeah. But now that this is
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: a really really good Pioneers team, and with Cooper Owens
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: under center, the way he can just find his guys
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: in space is very very impressive and make deep throws especially.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I mean there was a throw he had to Jacob
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Eberhar down the sideline that was just an unbelievable throw.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Could not have put it in a better spot, and
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be extremely dangerous to deal with. Frontington. They're
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: a solid team or nine and two, so far nice
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: win over Cape Central, But offensively, I just don't see
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: how Farmington is gonna be able to get much going
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: against Kirkwood.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Well that that's kind of been their thing though. Offense,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: they've had a really good offense this season, so it's
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: it's not like defensively they're you know, really strong and
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: they just got an okay offense. So it's I think
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Kirkwood might have a little tougher job on their hands
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: compared to Eureka off you know, defensively, so to speak,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: because Farmington's got a good spread offense under coach Brenneckley,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: who's he's you know, he's got a real legend Jackson legend. Yeah,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: it could be a Farmington legend too if he wins
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this game. By the way, So it's a it's a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: big opportunity for Farmington. It's gonna be it's gonna be
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: over there down there, I should say, they got a
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they got a big stadium, by the way. I haven't
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: been there, so I would imagine the whole town is
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: gonna come out, and Kirk's gonna bring a lot of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: fans because that's what they do. I still got you know,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: but like reiterate what you said, though, Kirkwood, they are
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: most likely a more athletic team. Their defense has been
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: on point all season. Really, yeah, Cooper Owens.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: They gotta have.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: They got to score more than twenty one points to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: win the game, I believe, So they got to do
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a better job. But I don't think Farmington as good
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: defensively as Eureka was, because Eureka's got they have a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: great day.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Had Eureka defensively played a really good game.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah they were all season, they've been great. Yeah.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go with the Pioneers in
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: this one, and I will well, oh man, that's I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: like this spread because I'm having difficulty with the siding
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: on it. But I'll I'll bet them Kirkwood. I'll have
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: them covering and I will take the over.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Alrighty. This would be kirk With's second straight year in
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: the semifinals, so that if they win, yes, all right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Next up of over class six in Missouri guys Zumo
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: West at Pattonville. The Jaguars favored by fourteen and a
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: half points, the over runs at fifty and a half.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Zuem West started the year at two and three with
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: a brutal twelve point loss of their art rivals Francis Howell,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: but they've led off seven straight wins since then, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: one of the most exciting wins in the school history
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: to defeat Troy thirty four to thirty one in overtime,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: where defensively they just totally shut down the Chowsers in
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, which was so huge by them, and
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Clayton O'Brien really stepped up and made some great throws
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter as well, so it were some
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: really clutch drive by the Jaguars and Pattonville they get
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: yet another win against their Rock Road rivals written or
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: alliterating accidentally there rock.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Bridge Road, Charles rock Road, right, yeah, no, yeah, you're
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: right by that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: They'd be ridden in twenty seven to twenty And I
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: think that the the biggest thing I'm gonna be looking
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: at here is how is Trevor Beckerman and the Patville
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: passing attack gonna attack is more West to DB's you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: led by Garrick Dixon. This is my West Psucondara has
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: been really really good so far this and it's just
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: not just getting interceptions but forcing QBS to put the
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: ball in spots they don't want to make it go
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: to their second reads and just shutting down most deep attacks.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: I mean it was a while ago, but we saw
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: this Zumo West defense almost shut out Kirkwood, which obviously
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: is a very difficult thing to do. But for Zumo West,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, at least offensively, they got to get things
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: going earlier in the game. I don't think, I mean,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Pattinville's a solid teams. I don't think Zamo West is
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: gonna want to be keeping this too close of the game,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: But I will be going with fortune and a half
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: pretty big. I think Zumo West wins by exactly fourteen.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Pattinville to cover, and I'm
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: gonna go with.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: The under Yeah, I'm going with Pattonville to cover too.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: It's uh, you know, they got.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: A good team and they're really battle tested, just like
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Zumo West. They've they've played, actually maybe more so because
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: their their schedule is really tough every year.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're coming out of the Suburban Yellow Conference.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Which, by the way, that conference has had tremendous representation.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: You know, like Kirkwood winning districts Lafayette. If they were
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in any other district, they would have won that seriously,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and then.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Pattonville winning a district and you know, Eureka, they were
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you know, if you take Kirkwood out of that district,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were good enough to win a district
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: championship themselves. So those four quality teams coming out of
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: there is impressive. So just to highlight how battle tested
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the Pirates are there. And you know, Trevor Beckerman is
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: a fantastic sophomore quarterback, really good stats. Drel West Drell
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Lyles are two really good receivers that the Pirates have,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and Larry Martin had a really good game, probably the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: best game of this season, yeah, the season for him
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: coming against written or there.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: That big game. So Pirt's got a pretty good offense
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And but in their defense is okay, they're all right,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And but can zum what West if they could replicate
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: what they did against Troy wise somewhat, then I think
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: that's that's gonna get them the edge right there, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: they're capable of doing that. So I'm gonna go with
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the jaguarres to win the game. But I do have
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Patentville covering and.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I'll take I'll take the over there.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, next step over to the Class five quarterfinals. We've
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: got Zumal North at Cardinal Ritter. Cardinal Ritter favorite by
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: thirteen and a half, the over Wings have fifty seven
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: and a half. There's a Zoomalt North team that comes
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: off a thrilling twenty one to twenty overtime winn against
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Parkway West where their defense came up huge late in
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: the game. The whole Parkway West as a team to
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: negative five rushing yards across the whole game. And you
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: know Jade Burleson back as the running back, he's been
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: great for them and his they like fifth four or
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: five games back for the Panthers. And Cardinal Ritter coming
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: off a completely dominating win against LaDue where even though
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: they eve, though they only had thirty six points, they
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: put up about a million yards on offense and where
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Manny Ellis ran for what's felt like a half mile,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: running for over three yards in one game. So you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: looking at how you know zmall and North holds their
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: appoint to negative five rushing yards. And now we got
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: a unbelievable running back who's putting up crazy numbers this
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: whole year. We got the classic case of a unstoppable
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: force versus the immovable object. With Manny Allis versus this
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: small North running defense, that's gonna be a really interesting
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: matchup to watch and just to see how how each
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: side of the line on the scrimmage gets off the ball,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: because this card Orter offensive line has been kind of
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: overlooked all year, honestly, because Cardinal River is just so
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: talented in the backfield, it's easy to overlook a lot
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: of their offensive line. And the card rid offensive line
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: is so big and so fast that you know, not
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: to say that anyone could do when man an Analysis
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: is doing it, because very few people could do what
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: he's doing. But Manie Allis has jobbed in, you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: cashing and manschuck and run. The more their jobs get
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: much easier as well, because this line is so effective,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: and we've seen manschucking more be able to pass so
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: well because they get a lot of time to throw,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: they get a clean pocket usually. So this card Watter
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: offense I think has slept on a lot, simply because
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody I don't.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Think anybody's sleeping on their offense.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Well, when I say that, I mean people just don't
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: give them the credit. They deserve because they just when
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: they think of Cardinal Rider, they think of the other
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: guys like more manshuck Ellis Elijah Lucas. So just trying
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: to guess some credit to the line offensive, That's all
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to do. But this should be a really
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: interesting game. But I mean, obviously Cardinal Ritter has the
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: talent edge here, and if Moulton North wants to win
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: this game, they cannot have any empty possessions, possessions in
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: the red zone like they did against Parkway West. I
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: know there were several times where they got in the
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: long Horn red zone and just didn't score at all.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: If they do the hair against Cardinal Ridder, they will
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: lose the game. I have Cardinal Ridder winning, but I
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: think Walt North is able to keep it somewhat close
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: to able to get a backdoor cover here. So I
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: will go with more North to cover and I will
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: go with the.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Underth Yeah, I think I got zoom out North covering
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: as well, and I think I'm picking riddle of the win.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: But I think I think North can upset Ritter.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I think if they can, if they can just keep
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: their offense off the field and they're able to sustain drives
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and North's got a good defense.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: If Philly Special just doesn't turn the ball over North
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: a spot.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well so I just and you know, I don't know,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: like the watching the lad Ridder game, I just thought
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: like if dou was able just to have some sustained
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: drives and keep their defense on the field more like,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it would have been a much more competitive game. But
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: what North can do, which we do could not do,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: is just have sustained drives and get a few first downs,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you know, do some clock management.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, they got a really good rushing attack
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: and they got a good offense for that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Do that, stick to that plan, and you know, I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: think a lot of different things can happen with that.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: So I got zoom out North covering. I'll take the under.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Oh so I got we agree, Then we agree. Okay,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: still got rid of winning. But I just I would
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: not be shocked if well, I no, you know, I
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: would be a little shocked if if if North Stillon.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: But I just I think I think they can. I
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: think an upset is in the cards in this game.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I think if you look at the teams that are favored,
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: like you know, Platque County's favorite favorite to beat Green Valley.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: You know, Nick's a favorite against Olias Kirkwood, favorite against Farmington,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Carter were favorite against him all North. I think this
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: is the most realistic possible upset. But it would be
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: a shock. Yeah, so weeth wind. That would be a shock,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: especially after last year.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: You know, with Ritter losing to Lafayette on the road,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you'd think they'd kind of have that same epiphany with
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: CBC had, you know, like, hey, we cannot we can't
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: lose to Kirkwood at home again. We can't lose at
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: home again in a district championship.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: So we just maybe they should have happened. Maybe they
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: should just use eas St. Louis Mantra, all gas, no breaks.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Flyers have no issue with winning games
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. It's a bit different earlier in the
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: season different early in the playoffs.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: It's a tad different way of approaching that.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just going to say that, you know, some programs,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: some programs have no issue winning the games they should.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, and you know this is not a
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: dig at rhetor or CBC, because Ritter and CBC are
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: in criminal programs that have several state championships, but they
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: just happened to fall ashore.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Too early sometimes last year, well yeah, but just last year.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Usually those teams CBC and Ritter do go far. And yeah,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: just last year was a yeah, I never really thought
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: of it like that both, like incorporating both of them
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, that's that what makes it even
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: more crazy what happened last year. So we didn't really
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: have any big upsets though this time around this past week,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: but who knows, maybe we could have one or two
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: on the cards this week there.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I still think Ritter wins the game though.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I agree. Next up, head over to the
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Class four. This is the only Friday night game one
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: on the entire area. Funnily enough, probably, I mean likely,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: almost all semi final games are all on Saturday, so
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: this could be the very last Friday night game we
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: have in the area all year. Quarterfinal I know, in
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: the semi finals usually almost all You're good Parkway North
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: at Saint Mary's. This game's can be played on Friday
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: night at six thirty on the south side. Saint Mary's
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: is pared by one and a half points to the
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: overruns at forty four and a half. I think this
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: is gonna be an absolute war between both these defenses. Honestly.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've got guys from Parkway North, Demitrius Williams,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Terry McKinney, Ben Mormon, Christian Washington, Taber Bauer. Mormon and
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Bauer both have eight or more sacks. You don't usually see.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Got two guys the Amore sacks on the same team,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: so a really impressive pass rush ue right Parkway North.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: And then for Saint Mary's their defense didn't allow a
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: point to Luther North all game. Luf of North had
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: their two touchdowns off a kick return and the pick six,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: and outside of that, the Crusaders offense just could get
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: nothing going. The way that Saint Mary's was able to
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: just completely stifle the Crusaders rushing attack was super duper impressive.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: And you got other guys for Saint Mary's defensively, Elijah
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Stuckle has well over one hundred tackles so far in
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: the season, three sacks and two interceptions as well. One
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: of the more underrated linebackers in the area. I would say,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: so props to him, and then Kingston Miles. He's the
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: main guy offensively for the Dragons over fifteen hundred rushing
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: yards on the season for him so far, twenty touchdowns.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: So this I think could be a really low scoring battle.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I mean we've seen Parkway North getting some exciting low
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: scoring games and playoffs recently last week against Orchard Farm.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Last year against Lunford North that was a low scoring,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: thrilling game, So this should be really excited. I think
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: it really sucks all the out of town to miss it,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: but I'm encouraging all your listeners to go out there
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: and watch it. I mean, it's the only game going
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: on in the time slot, so why not go out
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: and enjoy it. Paul Stadium though, so it's gonna be
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: limited seating, it's small, but I think Saint Mary's has
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: a pretty cool environment, yeah, on the south side there,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: and they usually put on a good show for the team.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: And it should be a fun game. There's two really
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: good teams going going at it, and yeah, so it's
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: gonna be tough. I'm gonna go with Parkway North to
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: win the game, and I'm gonna go with the under.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I'm leaning Saint Mary's here just north of They've really
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: struggled the score points, you know, against the Orchard Farm
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and then you know, a little bit against struggled a
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: little bit against Holt.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Their defense has been great.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they're gonna have a
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: whole lot of problems defensively in this game. But I
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: think offensively, you know, Saint Mary's has been really good recently,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: you know, on defense, and you know, I think both
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: teams have played pretty tough schedules all things considered there,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: and then again, North has been really good in close
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: games this season. So and if it is going to
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: be a close game, you would kind of tend to
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: favor them right there. Saint Mary's hasn't really been in
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a game all season where it's been down to the wire,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: and I think that would probably favorite Parkway North there.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: So, man, this is that this is tough. I think
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I think the first two scores twenty one points wins.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: The first to twenty wins the game for me.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: And that's probably a fair point.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: So, you know, both teams are athletic, and I just
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: think Saint Mary's they have a better offense Parker and
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: North probably got a better defense, but Dragons are pretty
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: good defensively too.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: But then again, if it's a close game, Vikings have
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: been really good all season in that area.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: So I'll go I'll go with the Vikings of this
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: one and take the under, even though I'm kind of
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: going against my better judgment because.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Now I feel that it took me. I mean, look
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: at the games it took and think about it, because
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: on Friday night, you know, after some of the games,
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: and I kind of put all this together, and so
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: it's taken me forty eight hours to come to a
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: conclusion on my pick. So and I might change my mind.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is gootna yeah, I mean it's the
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: closest spread we've seen so far in this I think
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: this will be the closest game we see. We'll see
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: next up in the Illinois Class four Final four Breeze
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Central at Rochester. The Rockets are favored by three and
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: a half points the over Ourners at fifty and a half.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Some quick context on Rochester. They are really year in
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: and year out, one of the best teams in Class
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: four in the Springfield area. They're kind of just due
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: north of Breeze Illing only by about I think it's
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: like an hour and twenty minutes or so, I want
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: to say. But they're eleven and one so far in
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: the year, with their one loss being by one points
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: to a chat On Glenwood team, and that Glenwood team
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: had one loss in the year, which is East Lewis. Yeah,
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: and Rochester had a really exciting game against rival Cigar
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Heart Griffin in the quarterfinals forty one to thirty five.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: They also beat Waterloo we know, Thibty five to twenty
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: one in the second round. Yeah, for Rochester, the two
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: wins against SHG were pretty huge, you know. And that
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: and beating Mountainzion and Big Two that was a huge
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: win for them as well. So those are definitely their
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: best wins of the year. Beating Waterloo is impressive as well.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the way they were able to do it too
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: against them.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: By the way, Central's only lost was to Mountain Zion
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: thirty eight to twenty eight.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: And for Breeze here, I think the the key is
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: defensively just not allowing too many big plays in the
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: first part of the game because they shoot. If they
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: allow a completion on a post ride over the middle
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: from a touchdown at the beginning of this game, that
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: might give Rochester too much momentum, I think, Breeze, I
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: think the Cougars are an incredible team. I mean Cole
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Davis on the numbers may not show it, but he
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: is one of the best football players in the area.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: What he does on offense and on defense is replicated
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: by really only a handful of guys, so what he's
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: been able to do is really impressive. Their own line
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: has been really impressive this year as well, So if
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: the Breeze secondary could just keep good zone discipline, keep
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: everything in front of them, maybe forced to turn over too.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: I like their chances here, but Rochester is an incredible team.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I mean they're both eleven to one, both have had
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: unbelievable seasons so far. Both would be very deserving representatives
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: in the SA title game in the other seven section
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: of Illinois. And you know, just as I'm biased and
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: want and I want Breeze to win, I'm gonna go
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: with Central to win and cover here and I'm gonna
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: go with the over. But this will be a war.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: This will be a really really close fun game.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is by far the best team I think
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Breeze both played all season and Rochester's coming in averaging
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: forty eight points a game, giving up nineteen and a
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: half and they've they every year for a Class four team,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: they they're always battle tests because they're in the Central
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: State Aid Conference.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: You know, having played you.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Know, they've beaten Mount Zion, who's already a pretty good
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Class four team, and then you know, really tough close
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: loss to glen Wood, and then and then they they
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: were able to beat Sacred Hurt Griffin twice this season,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: which is incredible. Yeah, that's that's amazing. I mean, it's
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: not really unbelievable for Rochester because you know they see
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: him every year and you know, beat him a decent
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: amount of times.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: But for any other program, that would be.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable if you beat you know, sahg Let alone, you
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: know once honestly, So, I don't I don't know Rochester's
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: all time record at home in the playoffs.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: I guess I.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Could track it, but it's got to be close to
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: being you know, and Rochester, by the way, they've never
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: lost to Central.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I think this is the first. I think they've played
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: him five times and they've won every time.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: So not just the history aspect of it, but just
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: and I want Central wins so much. I wanted to
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: win badly, but this is it's a tough drive.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, eventually you're gonna you're in Southern bracket, you're
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: in Class four, You're gonna.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: See Rochester eventually quickly. So I'm gonna go with the
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Rockets to win in the cover and I'll take the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: over as well. So I hate to say it, but man,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: because I want Central to win so badly. I want
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: to see them win a state championship.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: And it's great that they got to the final four,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I just man, Rochester's you know, they got
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: good players.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: And then when you look.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Across the sideline and see who's coaching them and Derek
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Leonard really really tough opponent to beat.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: If Recentral wins the stay title, we will be there
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: for the parade.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope. So that'd be amazing.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Here we go, Number one game of the week, Class
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: six Quarterfinals, CBC at Jackson. The Cadets are favored by
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: eleven and a half Overarmers got sixty five and a half.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: These are two not just incredible teams this year, but
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: incredible programs. I mean you look at CBC, I mean
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: CBC is the most well known program in the state
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: of Missouri. When you look at what they've been able
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: to do the past decade or so under coach Pingles leadership.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: People think of Missouri football and they think of guys
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: like Jeremiah Love, Blaine Gabbert or Brett Caabash went to
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Parkway West, Brett went to CBC.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Nobody thinks of Parkway West when they think of Missouri football.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Nah, But I mean CBC is one of the winningest
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: teams in recent memory. And then Jackson they for forever,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: They've always been a very successful team. They didn't win
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: it's a title until twenty twenty twenty yep, but they've
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: really been just an incredible program for a very very
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: long time and really the past five six seasons. This
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: you could argue that this is the best one of
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: the best private school programs in the state versus one
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: of the best public school programs in the state. So
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: I think that narrative is really really cool going into
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: this game. And for CBC, I'll go over briefly because
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: we go over with him so much every single episode.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, Vick Williams is probably gonna get nine carries
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: for one hundred and twenty yards or whatever, one hundred
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: and thirty yards whatever, ridiculous average. He gets it's like
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: thirteen yards of carry. Nick mcclonin's gonna find his way
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: to get one hundred twenty rushing yards, two hundred passing yards,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns and one interception, but by one interception. I
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: mean when he's on defense, he's playing safety and he
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: picks off the other QB and then the on line
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: is probably gonna play really really good as well. But
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: for Jackson, they are led by captain senior quarterback Drew
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Parsons who's had a really good career for the Indians
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: so far, and then running back geal and Hampton I
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: believe is his name. He has had a great season
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: as well. So really really good program down there in Jackson.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: It's at the pit so that should be a really
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: fun environment. That's one of the best stadiums in the state.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: That whole town comes out for every game and they
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: go they go pretty crazy, so that should be fun
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: to watch. But again until I mean, Lafayette almost prove
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: me otherwise, because I said last week that I'm gonna,
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep picking CBC to cover, and
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: so someone proves me otherwise, and I'm gonna keep doing
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, the CBC offense is just insane. It's completely insane.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: It's one of the best offenses we've ever seen from
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: a Missouri team. So I'm gonna pick CBC to cover here,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with you over.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna well, first off, you know, Jackson is their offense.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: They have a you know, I think if there's a
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: team that can beat CBC, it's also Jackson.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: They have been fantastic all season. Great win over Carter
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Ritter in Week one, which kind of I think solidified
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: for everybody that this is a legitimate Jackson team and
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: and by far as their best win because Ritter is
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: you know, they're one of the favorites in Class five.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: And they had an.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Interesting five point win over Edwardsville, which doesn't look so
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: good now, but.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: It was on the road, and that was it was
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: a good win regardless. And then but then the next
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: week they crushed farm At ten fifty six to seven.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: And who's still still playing.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: They they've crushed Cape Central was sixty two to twenty four,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: and they rushed sixty two twenty one.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, crushed Oakville in Northwest. I mean, it's it's what
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: they were expected to do.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So this is so this is They've played
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: CBC two years ago and Parsons was actually their quarterback
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: for that game because one of their other their starting
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: quarterback towards a cl I think a few games before that,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: so he had to play in that game and he
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: was okay, not great, but he had some flashes in
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: that game. But now Parsons is a much better quarterback
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: now than better when he was a sophomore. And Jalen
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Hampton was a start started running back in that game too,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: So they've got some those two guys bringing a lot
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: of experience into this game. And you know, I expect
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: I expect a full house uh in Jackson on at
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: the pit at one pm on Saturday. I'll I'm neither
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be We'll see what happens where we you know,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: for our camera situation, but I'll most likely be in
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Jackson for this game here and I'm looking forward for
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: a really good game. And as for the predictions.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I do have.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: I got CBC winning. I'm gonna I'm gonna go with
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: the under on this one. Just you know, it's one
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: of those games where you really think it's gonna be over,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: but I think it's probably be the.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Under and.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I'll have CBC covering as well. I think it'll be
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: a really good game though, and maybe CBC gets like
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: a backdoor cover. But man, this is I can see
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: that game going in a lot of directions and it's
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: just gonna be so weird being at the pit during
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the daytime. I've never covered and I've never covered an
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: afternoon game there, and I've even covered a few, you know,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: I've covered a few playoff games there too, but never
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: never won in the afternoon.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, shoot, this week is half as exciting
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: as last week when we were in for a treat.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: That would actually be disappointing. It was half as exciting
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: as last week. I'm expecting a lot of exciting games.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Well, shoot, I mean the week twelve we just had
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: was one of the most exciting weeks we've ever had
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: in the history of Missouri high school football because of
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: the amount of overtime games, the amount of one possession
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: games you might a comeback wins. It was absolutely insane.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that now, now that we're in the quarter
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: finals in Missouri, there are no bad teams left because
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of times in districts you'll get some stinker
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: districts where sometimes a pretty mediocre team sneaks through through
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: the district finals, but you almost never see completely mediocre
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: teams winning districts. So now it's pretty much all my
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: best versus your best, and we're both really elite and
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: we're gonna see what we got and ill only at
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: the final four, and just I mean, to make it
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: to Hancock Stadium would be an amazing for anyone's season. Really,
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: there's really only a few programs where being a state
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: runner up would be a disappointment, like you know Mount
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Carmell or St. Louis. Yeah, for pretty much every other
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: program in the state, if you get to Hancock Stadium,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: that's a great season. So a ton of teams in
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Illinois are just you know, their whole season rids on
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: this weekend. So it should be really fun to watch
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: looking forward to Well, I'm not gonna see any of
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: you'll out there, unfortunately, but hopefully you see something out.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: There, hopefully.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I've had pretty good luck so far
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: this season, was capturing some really good games personally and
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: some that are come completely out of nowhere that happened,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: So hopefully that luck continues, because I just I root
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: for good games, and you know, besides, you know, rooting
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: for a certain team. So I always root for a
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: good contest and it's memorable and then you guys can
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: watch it later on. So all right, guys, thank you
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: very much for listening. We will see you guys next week.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Roman will not be seeing any games, like he said, personally,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: but out of town.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, guys, yes.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: And but we'll be back next week for the review
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: and then preview the semi finals in Missouri and then
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: the hopefully two championship games hopefully and regarding to our
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: area too. So we'll see you guys next week.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Peace,
