• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, I wanted to talk a little bit while we
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: had a chance, because this is the final weekend of
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the regular season of high school football across the state
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of Texas. The playoffs begin next week, and so the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: final games on the regular season schedules are there, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: as we know, almost half it's not quite maybe about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: thirty school shy almost half of those high schools across
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the state of Texas playing football in the UIL system,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: almost half will make the playoffs, which I've never had
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a problem with it. You know, you're crowning twelve state
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: champions and so in six different divisions, So you're talking
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: about just over two hundred schools per classification, and so
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it does I think pique the interest and give folks
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: on opportunity and hope for getting the players, much like
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: what baseball's done with a wild card, I think, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: even the college football playoff to a lesser extent, with
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: excitement of twelve going in, I think it's out of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: like fifteen hundred, I think it's something like seven hundred
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and twenty make it. Next week we'll talk playoffs, obviously
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: with Greg Tepper, the managing editor of Big Campbell's Texas
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Football magazine. By the way, they've got a big bracket
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: reveal on tomorrow night. So Cam, if you're sitting back,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: like you said, you're gonna watch some college football at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Texasfootball dot com, then Dave campbells Texas Football Magazine crew.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: They're doing a bracket reveal show where they will have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the pairings and I think the days and the start
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: times or whatever of every playoff game from six A
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: down through six man in the UIL system, which is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: pretty cool.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: They'll have that. I can tell you this.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of games really to pay close
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: attention to tonight. First of all, congratulations to the Georgetown Eagles.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Chuck Griffin's ball club very impressive in a thirty one
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to seven went over Cedar Park last night at Gupton
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to win the eight to five A Division one district title.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And they've they've had some.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Very impressive performances by the defense this year, and they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have had very impressive performances on the ground throughout the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: course of the year. And that's from jet Walker. Jet
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Walker whatever two hundred yards rushing last night, Cam, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he's now over two thousand rushing yards this season, so
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he's pretty good.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I had my.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Uncle and my dad, who are Georgetown alumni, is sitting
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: me videos of him just tearing up that Cedar Park
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: defense last night.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Was he six two two fifteen?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah kids, Yeah, stud And congrats to the Eagles on
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: a good season. Now, we talked about it yesterday that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: with a loss, Cedar Park may end up seeing Highland Park.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Well, it looks like it's not. It now looks like
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It looks like I would say, now there's Highland Park
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: won that district title last night over mid Lothian and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: seven to five Aby One. Tonight Burlason Centennial plays Joshua
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in the Metroplex. I they win that game, where if
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Tyler should lose to red Oak, which probably will happen,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: either result would give Centennial the third slot, red Oak
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: would get the or we give Centennial the fourth slot.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Red Oak would get the third slot.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Cedar Park is gonna wait for the outcome of these
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: other two games. Tonight, lake Belton is playing Colleen Chaparral
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Belton should win.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Lake Belton should win.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That Rouse is playing Glenn, they could be a good
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: matchup on that Cedar Park does not have the tie
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: break on Lake Belton they do over rows. If Rawse
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: should lose to Glen and Lake Belton win, Lake Belton
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: would be the two seed and Cedar Park would fall
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to the three seed, and Rowse would be the four. If, however,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Ralse wins and Lake Belton wins, there's a three way
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: tie for second in the points tiebreak, or Cedar Park
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: has a very slight edge of the other two. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: then what you would see is Cedar Park the two
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: seed play the three seed Red Oak.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That's right, you'd have a battle of the trees.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Cedar Park Red Oak would be your by district matchup
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: if if it works out that way. Now again, well
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we'll see how the other the other games play out.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Also in five A, we'll keep it in five A
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for the moment. In five A Division two, well we
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: can tell you that what a huge game it is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: tonight down at Bastrop Memorial Stadium, Bastrop and Liberty Hill
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for the district title. On eleven five A D two
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: bo teams are six to zero in the district. Liberty
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: deals eight and one overall, bas drops seven and two.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Computer says it's a pick them. That's how close that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: game is. Bas Drop in Liberty Hill.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Greg, I think Bashup can win this game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I know, I pick them, would suggest they could
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: win the.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Gaah yeah yeah, And I'm right there with him. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: think they can go ahead and and and win it
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: against the It's what Greg Tepper says, the lot t
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: is the devil, right, you know. I think Bastrop with
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: their offense and they have a fantastic defensive line, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: think they can they can slow down this loot to
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: your rushing attack and possibly win a district. Tattle and
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Jake Gridles just third season with the Bears.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me also say this, it might be foolhardy
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to pick against Liberty Hill anytime.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: A district I'm sure.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in the minority here, but okay, I havn't
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: seen both these schools play this season.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I think I like Bastrup's chances. Okay, all right in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: six a.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, there's one other game out of that district's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: very important Conley against Flugerville. Win and you're in Can
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we just have this conversation a year ago? We did
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and it was the deal with a crazy fumble return
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in overtime brought back for a touchdown. Was it Seth
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Davis of CBS, his son was calling it the miracle
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: at the field or whatever it was the thing and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and UH brought back for the for.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The game winner.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So anyway, UH winner in loser out. It's as simple
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: as that. In UH in eleven to five a D
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: two Cogley against Flugegvill who ever wins that game is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. The other three Liberty Hill and Bastart
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: playing for a district title. Elgin is four and four
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and two and they played in Navarro and assuming.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: They win that game, they lock up the third spot there.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, so there's there's that N six A Westlake and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Dripping Springs. Now it's both teams are headed for the playoffs,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and they're also going to be headed for different brackets
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as well. Westlake is going to wind up in the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Vision one bracket as the top seed. Lake Travis will
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: be the number two seed in that bracket.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And for Drip, they're going to be the top seed
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in the D two bracket. But it is for at
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: least a share of the district title of Dripping Springs
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: wins that game, otherwise Westlake wins it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Out right, what does it mean for the playoffs.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: This much we know right now Lake Travis will play
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Round Rock in the playoffs. That's in the Division one bracket.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They will play Round Rock, So Lake Travis will play
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Round Rock. We also know that Vandergriff will play Austin
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: High in the Division two bracket. Those matchups are definite.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: In fact, the Vandergrift Games already said it's next Friday
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: night of Monroe Stadium. The rest of it's a little
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: bit jumbled because you don't know who the Division one
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: runner up rep Is going to be in District twenty five,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: nor the Division two rep. Vandergrift is the top seed.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Round Rock's the top seed Division one, Vandergrift the top
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: seed Division two. Vista Ridge is in the playoffs, but
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the Rangers don't know if they're D one or D two.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It comes down to the outcome of tonight's game at
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the Palace. They're on Parmer, Huddo and McNeil. If Huddo wins,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Huddle goes D one as the runner up to Round
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Rock and would play Westlake and by district. At that point,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Vista Ridge would be the runner up in D two
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to Vandergriff and would face Dripping Springs now because this
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to play them last year over there, and if Westlake
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: wins and drips the three seed, it would be a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: game at Gupton in the by district round. That's what
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: would happen there. However, if McNeil wins, this Ridge goes
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Division one and they play at Westlake next week and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: McNeil would be the runner up in the D two bracket,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: then they would play a Dripping Springs. So not only
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: are some playoff spots up for grabs, but also Division
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: one and Division two assignment based on the enrollment. So
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: there's some of the stuff that's at stake from high
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: school FOOTBA front. We'll be back to wrap up Hour
