Transcript
- 0:14Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome in to the Bothell Football Coaches Show.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I'm your host, Rylan Spencer. Along with me, as always,
- 0:19Speaker 1: is the head coach of the Bothell Cougars, Tom Bainter. Coach,
- 0:21Speaker 1: how are we doing?
- 0:22Speaker 2: Doing great. How about you, Rylan? I am doing great.
- 0:25Speaker 1: The Coaches Show is brought to you by Passion Tequila
- 0:27Speaker 1: Family Mexican Restaurant, just a few blocks north of Pop Keeney.
- 0:30Speaker 1: And open seven days a week. Passion Tequila is the
- 0:31Speaker 1: perfect pre- or post-game show. Post-game spot, not show. Although
- 0:36Speaker 1: we could do a post-game show there sometime.
- 0:37Speaker 2: That'd be fun. Yeah.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Not a pre-game show because we've got to get ready
- 0:40Speaker 1: for the game, but a post-game show would be kind
- 0:42Speaker 1: of fun there. Especially because they've got a new menu, Coach.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Absolutely. Did they get rid of the chicken wings? No, no.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Everything on that menu is great.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Coach, we've got a lot of things to talk about here.
- 0:54Speaker 1: We've got freshman and JV games. We've got to talk
- 0:56Speaker 1: about the game against Woodinville last week, and take a
- 0:58Speaker 1: quick look at the game coming up against Juanita. So
- 1:04Speaker 1: we will start with the freshman game. Last week, the freshman,
- 1:06Speaker 1: a tremendous win over Glacier Peak to complete the sweep,
- 1:10Speaker 1: if you will.
- 1:11Speaker 2: 36-22.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I was up there a little bit late coming from
- 1:14Speaker 1: the volleyball match. By the way, they won 3-0 that night.
- 1:17Speaker 1: But fourth quarter, the first thing I see is Glacier
- 1:20Speaker 1: Peak scores. They got a lot of momentum, but then
- 1:24Speaker 1: the freshman Cougs kind of went to work. It was
- 1:26Speaker 1: pretty cool to see. They marched right down the field
- 1:30Speaker 1: to take the lead, and then Glacier Peak comes out
- 1:33Speaker 1: trying to go down and score themselves, and they throw
- 1:36Speaker 1: a pick six to our guy Jairo, and all of
- 1:39Speaker 1: a sudden, the sideline is going nuts. Current players that
- 1:44Speaker 1: are not on the freshman team are jumping up and down,
- 1:46Speaker 1: high-fiving each other, bumping into freshmen that are on the team.
- 1:49Speaker 1: There's you know, you were over there bumping into people.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Eric was bumping into people. It was absolute chaos on
- 1:55Speaker 1: the sideline after that pick six, but, uh, a lot
- 1:58Speaker 1: of fun out there last Wednesday night, uh, watching the
- 2:01Speaker 1: freshmen Cougs beat Glacier Peak.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Yeah, they just, you know, they did, they competed. It
- 2:04Speaker 3: was a great football game. You know, um, I, I
- 2:07Speaker 3: would tell you the Glacier Peak parents and coaches thought
- 2:09Speaker 3: the same thing until the end, right?
- 2:11Speaker 2: Uh, it was kind of back and forth.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Uh, we, we got a lead and then, and then, uh,
- 2:16Speaker 3: You know, they would come back and tie it, and
- 2:17Speaker 3: then we'd get a lead again.
- 2:19Speaker 2: We went for two. We got it.
- 2:20Speaker 3: And they missed their extra points, so we're really up
- 2:23Speaker 3: kind of a score and a half. And then in
- 2:26Speaker 3: the end of the third, early fourth quarter, the momentum changes.
- 2:30Speaker 3: And Glacier Peak takes the lead with about five minutes
- 2:33Speaker 3: to go. And we march right down the field, a
- 2:36Speaker 3: nice little boot pass. We had some great runs. I
- 2:41Speaker 3: would get it in the end zone, and I remember
- 2:42Speaker 3: looking at Coach Legault kind of from about 15 yards away,
- 2:45Speaker 3: and he goes, did we score too soon? And I said,
- 2:48Speaker 3: you know, the answer is not if the defense holds
- 2:51Speaker 3: and the defense held. And it was just a really good,
- 2:53Speaker 3: fun atmosphere. I love the attitude and the culture that
- 2:59Speaker 3: Coach Legault and his staff builds with our freshman program.
- 3:02Speaker 2: And it's fun.
- 3:03Speaker 3: As a head coach, very proud to see that type
- 3:05Speaker 3: of camaraderie and togetherness and enjoyment of the game of football.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Good night.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Again, the freshman Cougs 36-22 over Glacier Peak. On Monday night,
- 3:16Speaker 1: the JV Cougs played their first home game of the season.
- 3:18Speaker 1: It's kind of wild to think that it took until
- 3:20Speaker 1: October 28th to play their first home game, but the
- 3:23Speaker 1: way it normally goes, your first home game would have
- 3:26Speaker 1: been against a team from Hawaii.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You do mean September, right? You said October. Oh, September.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I guess in my head I'm saying almost October, but
- 3:35Speaker 1: it was September 28th. that week one game where we
- 3:40Speaker 1: were quote unquote on the road, it would have been
- 3:43Speaker 1: normally a JV home game, but obviously that didn't happen. So, um,
- 3:47Speaker 1: but it took until week four to get a home
- 3:49Speaker 1: game here. Um, and they get a win out of it.
- 3:52Speaker 1: 30 to 12 over Woodinville, uh, touchdowns from Evan Terry,
- 3:56Speaker 1: Aiden Leonard, Bryce Trammell, and Tyler Cheese. Wells, um, sounds
- 4:01Speaker 1: like it was a defensive battle early on. And then, uh,
- 4:04Speaker 1: second half, the Cougs kind of pulled away and, uh,
- 4:07Speaker 1: come away with that 30 to 12 win.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 3: You know, it's fun to, it's the first time I've
- 4:11Speaker 3: seen our JV play because, you know, we're practicing and they're,
- 4:14Speaker 3: they've been away. So, um, and, and, and far away,
- 4:17Speaker 3: not close away. So, um, it's fun, uh, eight, six
- 4:21Speaker 3: game at half and, uh, coaches and, and players made
- 4:24Speaker 3: some adjustments at halftime and defense, uh, uh, was, was
- 4:28Speaker 3: stout the rest of the way. And, and offense, uh,
- 4:31Speaker 3: really started clicking and we had good, good, good quarterback play, good, uh,
- 4:36Speaker 3: Good running back play, good line play, and defensively, all
- 4:39Speaker 3: three levels were outstanding.
- 4:41Speaker 2: So fun, fun to see that.
- 4:44Speaker 3: That's a developmental level as well, but also it's a
- 4:51Speaker 3: reward to all the hard work those kids put in,
- 4:54Speaker 3: usually as scout team guys, to then get to play
- 4:57Speaker 3: and do their thing. Fun to watch, and again, just
- 5:01Speaker 3: really proud of our program there at that level and
- 5:04Speaker 3: what we do.
- 5:06Speaker 1: JV Cougs will hit the road next week, although it's
- 5:08Speaker 1: not going to be very far. Juanita's just right down
- 5:10Speaker 1: the road. I would say Juanita's got to be, excuse me,
- 5:15Speaker 1: probably the closest non-North Shore school.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just right down the road. So anybody
- 5:23Speaker 1: that wants to go, you can get right over there
- 5:24Speaker 1: and watch the JV Cougs next Monday night.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Let's move on.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Woodinville game on Friday night at Popkini.
- 5:32Speaker 1: 34-7 win. I want to start by giving a shout-out
- 5:35Speaker 1: to the student section. They were unbelievable on Friday night.
- 5:39Speaker 1: In the four years I've been here now, maybe the
- 5:42Speaker 1: best student section I've seen. It was absolute chaos at
- 5:46Speaker 1: times up there. I would turn and look up, and
- 5:49Speaker 1: it was a sea of white just going absolutely bonkers, which,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know, you've got to give a shout-out to– and
- 5:59Speaker 1: I should have wrote his name down here and I
- 6:00Speaker 1: can't think of it right now, the new ASB.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Supervisor or teacher. Say it again, Fish. Skyler Lambert. Skyler Lambert.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Why I didn't write that one down, I have no idea.
- 6:13Speaker 1: But the energy that they had was just so cool.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And when you're a visiting team, technically, and you can
- 6:21Speaker 1: match or even outperform the energy of the home team,
- 6:26Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a boost that kind of doesn't
- 6:29Speaker 1: have a measure, but almost shows up on the score
- 6:32Speaker 1: sheet in a weird way, if you know what I mean.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, B-Town fans play a huge role in momentum,
- 6:38Speaker 3: and they're the best.
- 6:41Speaker 2: They're loud.
- 6:42Speaker 3: They come up with something new almost every game. It
- 6:46Speaker 3: matters to them. That's fun to be a part of.
- 6:49Speaker 3: You know, when it matters to your principal, when it
- 6:52Speaker 3: matters to your student body, when it matters to your
- 6:55Speaker 3: players and your staff, it's That's a tough combination to beat,
- 6:59Speaker 3: and we were in full force last Friday night for sure.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Let's talk about the defense first. You know, the.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Seven first downs on the night is what I have
- 7:11Speaker 1: written down, and, you know, just the dominating, I guess
- 7:16Speaker 1: I would say maybe the front seven, especially the defensive line.
- 7:18Speaker 2: We've talked about the defensive.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Line a lot, but just the way the front seven
- 7:22Speaker 1: really got after the run game. made things really hard
- 7:27Speaker 1: on Woodinville. Just, I mean, pretty much the entire night, yeah,
- 7:31Speaker 1: there was a couple of plays here or there, but
- 7:33Speaker 1: as a whole, I mean, there was kind of every
- 7:37Speaker 1: running play it seemed like was stopped within at least
- 7:40Speaker 1: a couple yards of the line of scrimmage.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to back up and then I'll get
- 7:44Speaker 3: to that point. You know, we talked about matching their
- 7:47Speaker 3: intensity and their aggressiveness and their physicality and their speed,
- 7:51Speaker 3: and they did that all, you know, to the best
- 7:54Speaker 3: you know, of their three previous games, they were better
- 7:59Speaker 3: as they should be, as their coaches always make them.
- 8:02Speaker 3: But the fact is we matched it and we made
- 8:05Speaker 3: some big plays early. And, you know, we have a
- 8:09Speaker 3: goal board that's sitting right next to us. And I
- 8:12Speaker 3: think it's 2009, the last time we got all 10
- 8:15Speaker 3: goals and we got nine out of 10 this time.
- 8:19Speaker 3: And we were just a couple of yards away from
- 8:21Speaker 3: getting that third goal or that last goal. an outstanding job. Um, I,
- 8:26Speaker 3: I thought we, we played, uh, I thought we played
- 8:29Speaker 3: our best game in terms of I'll do my job
- 8:31Speaker 3: and trust that you do yours. Um, we're a broken
- 8:34Speaker 3: tackle away. You know, I'm not going to call him
- 8:36Speaker 3: a missed tackle. That back is a three-year starter and a,
- 8:39Speaker 3: and a force in our league. And, you know, he
- 8:41Speaker 3: breaks a tackle and then he outruns us all for
- 8:43Speaker 3: a touchdown. And, but, but, you know, we're, we're one
- 8:45Speaker 3: play away from, from maybe a shutout. And, um, and
- 8:50Speaker 3: we just played well. We defended well. We took away
- 8:54Speaker 3: the flats when they tried to throw it out there, and,
- 8:56Speaker 3: you know, we've got a couple of guys in the
- 8:58Speaker 3: middle that are, you know, guys that will be talked
- 9:02Speaker 3: about for years, and, you know, you compare them with
- 9:04Speaker 3: the best we've ever had there in the D-line, and
- 9:07Speaker 3: they're difficult to move.
- 9:08Speaker 2: They're strong.
- 9:08Speaker 3: They're physical forces, but we got a lot of complementary
- 9:11Speaker 3: pieces as well and was really proud of our defense
- 9:14Speaker 3: for sure.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's... You know, even a solid rotation of
- 9:18Speaker 1: guys getting in at times too. And, you know, I
- 9:21Speaker 1: thought Hudson Altig and Haddon Neal played great in the middle.
- 9:24Speaker 1: And then even Kai Christensen got in a little bit,
- 9:26Speaker 1: which was really nice to see him get some Friday
- 9:28Speaker 1: night action. And I'll say it, I didn't think he
- 9:31Speaker 1: looked out of place. I thought he played really well.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And the secondary, Colin Moore, you know, we try not
- 9:38Speaker 1: to maybe get specific with names, but Colin Moore, just
- 9:42Speaker 1: a sophomore, has really started– from game one until game
- 9:47Speaker 1: four has just progressively gotten better. And I think that
- 9:49Speaker 1: could maybe be said about most of the defense right now.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we've had some guys that weren't starters
- 9:56Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year at at the secondary, um,
- 9:59Speaker 3: who have done a fabulous job. Trey Rocky keeps getting
- 10:02Speaker 3: better and better and better and better. And you say
- 10:05Speaker 3: the same thing about parks, you stir, but I'll tell you, um,
- 10:09Speaker 3: I got to be on the sideline about eight feet
- 10:11Speaker 3: away from Kentrell Thomas and KT made, made about a
- 10:15Speaker 3: three play, uh, you know, consecutive play, um, A highlight reel,
- 10:21Speaker 3: I'll call it. He came up and was physical on
- 10:23Speaker 3: an out route, and he hit the guy and got
- 10:27Speaker 3: him out of bounds just short of the first down.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Covers well. When he plays with what Cole Stevens calls juice, man,
- 10:35Speaker 3: he's tough, and he's fast, he's quick, and he's physical.
- 10:39Speaker 3: And so our DBs are coming into their own, and
- 10:42Speaker 3: we're seeing some great things from them as well.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I think something with Kentrell Thomas, which is kind of funny,
- 10:47Speaker 1: is If you're a college coach and you're looking at
- 10:52Speaker 1: a guy and you're going, oh, that's a cover corner.
- 10:55Speaker 1: That's a cover corner. He's kind of a smaller guy, but, oh,
- 10:58Speaker 1: he can run and he can do those things.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 11:01Speaker 1: This man will come up and stick you. I mean,
- 11:03Speaker 1: he is not afraid to stick his nose into things,
- 11:06Speaker 1: which is so– it's just not common for corners in
- 11:09Speaker 1: today's game, especially at the high school level. And it
- 11:13Speaker 1: is really fun to watch him. That's the defense. Let's
- 11:15Speaker 1: talk about the offense because 34 points. a week after
- 11:18Speaker 1: scoring 35, Matt Small at quarterback continues to kind of
- 11:25Speaker 1: just do some things. And I don't know if it's
- 11:28Speaker 1: not expected, but I think you said it was a
- 11:30Speaker 1: 70% completion percentage now on the season. And I mean,
- 11:34Speaker 1: when you're talking about the ability to run the ball,
- 11:37Speaker 1: by the way, 163 on the ground, 163 through the air.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that, but I did not.
- 11:44Speaker 1: When you have the ability to just be efficient at quarterback,
- 11:49Speaker 1: that's huge when you have the run game that we're
- 11:52Speaker 1: able to push out there on a Friday night.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and, you know, we're starting to get something that
- 11:57Speaker 3: we haven't had the last couple of years, and that
- 12:00Speaker 3: is a consistent pass game. And it complements each other.
- 12:04Speaker 3: We put in a couple of plays designed for Woodinville,
- 12:06Speaker 3: and our kids executed them very well.
- 12:08Speaker 2: One was at the goal line.
- 12:09Speaker 3: One was a play action pass after we, you know,
- 12:12Speaker 3: got the ball to 29-yard line after a blocked punt.
- 12:15Speaker 3: And I'm just telling you, Matt's doing a great job of,
- 12:18Speaker 3: of leading our program and running our offense. You know,
- 12:25Speaker 3: we were 8 out of 10 goals, which is a
- 12:28Speaker 3: high number. I don't know the last time we've gotten
- 12:31Speaker 3: 8 out of 10 goals. And that's not to say
- 12:33Speaker 3: anything against Woodinville and their defense. It's we executed very
- 12:38Speaker 3: well at a high level. And a couple of our
- 12:41Speaker 3: big plays were short passes. We've got a receiving core
- 12:44Speaker 3: that's slippery. And, you know, Kyson Warnock, he's tough. to
- 12:48Speaker 3: bring down and he makes you miss and he's got
- 12:50Speaker 3: a quick burst and in, you know, one and a
- 12:52Speaker 3: half steps, he's at full speed. And, um, you know,
- 12:56Speaker 3: my miles had a nice little screen pass and went
- 12:58Speaker 3: down the sideline for 30 yards plus. And, um, our
- 13:01Speaker 3: line's doing a great job. A quarterback is, is, uh,
- 13:04Speaker 3: you know, is orchestrating what we're trying to do and
- 13:07Speaker 3: we're trying to mix things up. And, you know, um,
- 13:09Speaker 3: that's what, when we're at our best, we're, we're, our
- 13:12Speaker 3: passing and running numbers should be similar. And so, um,
- 13:16Speaker 3: You know, really proud of those guys too, but I
- 13:19Speaker 3: do want to take this time selfishly to say really
- 13:21Speaker 3: proud of our coaching staff. Our coaches are doing a
- 13:24Speaker 3: great job. I watched the whole film, special teams included.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I see the strides we're making, and I'm just real
- 13:33Speaker 3: proud of those guys as well. They put in a
- 13:34Speaker 3: lot of time and effort, and everybody's going for the
- 13:38Speaker 3: same thing. We're all trying to get better day to day,
- 13:40Speaker 3: and it was fun to see that come to fruition
- 13:44Speaker 3: after our Friday night game.
- 13:46Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, um, you know, leave the
- 13:48Speaker 1: game with a 34, seven wind feeling real good about yourself. Um,
- 13:52Speaker 1: and should be, I mean, anytime you can, you can
- 13:54Speaker 1: do something like that to a quality opponent. Um, but
- 13:57Speaker 1: also I feel like there's still so much room to
- 14:01Speaker 1: get better, um, and to just maybe get more refined
- 14:05Speaker 1: with some things.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, we're, we're baby stepping the, uh, the,
- 14:10Speaker 3: the little less me and the more we, and, uh,
- 14:14Speaker 3: And they just don't get it yet. But when our
- 14:16Speaker 3: whole program is all about the we, we're going to
- 14:20Speaker 3: be special. We're going to do things. Individually, we play
- 14:23Speaker 3: better when it's not about me. It's about us. And
- 14:26Speaker 3: so we're getting there. We're starting to see that. And
- 14:30Speaker 3: I'm excited about that. And there are some little things
- 14:33Speaker 3: that we can get better at. We got a formational
- 14:37Speaker 3: error a time or two. We take a gap differently
- 14:41Speaker 3: than we should. But our communication is better. We're not
- 14:46Speaker 3: making mistakes because we didn't see signals or we didn't
- 14:49Speaker 3: communicate well. And so, you know, those are the strides
- 14:52Speaker 3: we're hoping for. And it's a fun group of young
- 14:56Speaker 3: men and real talented. And we're excited that we get
- 14:59Speaker 3: to hang out day to day. And the goal is
- 15:01Speaker 3: just to get better one day at a time.
- 15:02Speaker 1: 34-7 win over Woodinville. Let's talk Players of the Week
- 15:06Speaker 1: really quickly. The Players of the Week are brought to
- 15:08Speaker 1: you by Steve Breda and Dave Mercer of Team Breda

- 15:29Speaker 1: Cafe and Passion Tequila, two of Bothell's favorite restaurants, are
- 15:33Speaker 1: on board to get gift cards to these two athletes.
- 15:38Speaker 1: We will start on offense with Kyson Warnock, Six catches,
- 15:41Speaker 1: 104 yards, two touchdowns, also four carries for 31 yards
- 15:46Speaker 1: and a 20, excuse me, a 17-yard punt return. Just
- 15:50Speaker 1: a great all-around effort from Kyson Warnock. You mentioned him
- 15:54Speaker 1: earlier as a kid that's tough to bring down and,
- 15:57Speaker 1: you know, he runs good routes and he just does
- 15:59Speaker 1: a lot of the right things and he's even willing
- 16:01Speaker 1: to throw some blocks when it's his turn to do that.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because that's the point
- 16:05Speaker 3: I was going to make too. He's blocking well too
- 16:08Speaker 3: on the perimeter and He can do it all.
- 16:10Speaker 2: He's a special athlete.
- 16:12Speaker 3: And it's fun to watch him grow. He's fighting through
- 16:16Speaker 3: a little bit of an injury he's had for a while,
- 16:18Speaker 3: and he's tough. We don't feel the pain that some
- 16:22Speaker 3: of these kids do, and they're just fighting through, but
- 16:24Speaker 3: you see it and you know it as a coach.
- 16:26Speaker 3: I'm just real proud of those guys and Kyson for
- 16:29Speaker 3: the things he's doing and overcoming.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Defensively, Dom D'Ambrosia gets the nod.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Have it listed as two tackles seven assisted tackles one
- 16:39Speaker 1: sack and a forced fumble I'll tell you what that
- 16:42Speaker 1: uh forced fumble it was it was on a sack
- 16:45Speaker 1: and it was one of the bigger hits I've seen
- 16:48Speaker 1: from the backside of a of a quarterback but you
- 16:51Speaker 1: could make an argument that almost every single week anybody
- 16:55Speaker 1: along that defensive line could be getting this award and
- 16:57Speaker 1: uh this week it's Dom.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Yeah you know Dom's had a great season he's had
- 17:02Speaker 3: a great three seasons Dom is an interior guy but
- 17:06Speaker 3: on that play he was outside and he just used
- 17:08Speaker 3: his speed to get around the end and he made
- 17:10Speaker 3: a great blindside hit because the cue was left handed
- 17:13Speaker 3: facing the other way the ball comes out and it's
- 17:16Speaker 3: a key moment in that game you know it was
- 17:19Speaker 3: important for us to get a stop and get the
- 17:22Speaker 3: ball back and continue momentum in the second half and
- 17:26Speaker 3: we score relatively quickly after that and you know that
- 17:29Speaker 3: that made the game.
- 17:31Speaker 2: A little more comfortable.
- 17:32Speaker 3: But what a football player he is, and he gets
- 17:35Speaker 3: it done in the weight room and on the field
- 17:37Speaker 3: and on both sides of the ball.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Again, thank you to Team Breda Real Estate for their
- 17:41Speaker 2: support of Bothell Athletics.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Let's talk about Juanita. Bothell, 14 and 17 all-time against Juanita,
- 17:47Speaker 1: have not played since 2007. The last time Bothell lost
- 17:52Speaker 1: to Juanita, I was actually a sophomore at Juanita. All
- 17:55Speaker 1: that being said, none of it really matters. I mean, it's...
- 17:58Speaker 1: 20-plus years ago for some of this stuff. Juanita currently
- 18:02Speaker 1: on a three-game winning streak, sit at 3-1 overall on
- 18:05Speaker 1: the season, but more importantly, 1-0 in Kinko North play.
- 18:08Speaker 1: The winner of this week's game will be 2-0 in
- 18:11Speaker 1: league play, Coach. That is incredibly important as we move
- 18:14Speaker 1: towards the Kinko championship game.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got some athletes over there that do some
- 18:20Speaker 3: great things. I think they're well-coached on both sides of
- 18:24Speaker 3: the ball. It's a But it really comes down to us. Again,
- 18:28Speaker 3: we talked about this yesterday in our meeting. We focus
- 18:31Speaker 3: on us. The first thing we do each Monday is
- 18:35Speaker 3: walk through our mistakes.
- 18:37Speaker 2: And fix them.
- 18:39Speaker 3: And I think what we're going to do is just
- 18:42Speaker 3: focus on us. And we look at them like every
- 18:45Speaker 3: other team. What is our scheme? How do we attack it?
- 18:49Speaker 3: And we go from there. So excited for this Saturday game.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Should be a great football game at Popkini. Yeah, we
- 18:55Speaker 3: don't need to get too crazy into it. But one
- 18:57Speaker 3: of the things I'll say is it's really nice to
- 18:59Speaker 3: be playing the Juanitas and the Lake Washingtons and the
- 19:02Speaker 3: schools that are local and down the street from us
- 19:06Speaker 3: and in the area. And I think it's great to
- 19:09Speaker 3: get back to Kinko North and Kinko South, Coach. Yeah,
- 19:12Speaker 3: you know, it's the way you're supposed to do it.
- 19:14Speaker 3: You play the teams in your community. The gates should
- 19:17Speaker 3: be better. The concessions are better. The travel is less.
- 19:21Speaker 3: It does all the things that make sense. you know, in,
- 19:23Speaker 3: in today's times with, with finances and stuff like that. So, um,
- 19:27Speaker 3: I look forward to renewing a rivalry that, you know,
- 19:29Speaker 3: like you said, it hasn't been around in years. So, uh,
- 19:32Speaker 3: it should be fun this Saturday.
- 19:34Speaker 2: All right, coach.
- 19:34Speaker 1: That's all I got for this week. Uh, thanks for
- 19:36Speaker 1: your time and, uh, best of luck on Saturday.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Thanks, Rylan.
- 19:41Speaker 1: A reminder of the freshmen are on the road to
- 19:43Speaker 1: later tonight, 6 30 PM kickoff at Woodinville. If you've
- 19:46Speaker 1: got nothing else going on, head on over to the
- 19:48Speaker 1: dark side and, uh, take a look at the freshman

- 19:54Speaker 1: three-game sweep, if you will.
