Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Vinie Show.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I'm John Huff joined by a Roman Bishop, and today
- 0:05Speaker 2: we're going to be continuing our last part of the
- 0:08Speaker 2: floor Ceiling Predictions. This time we're going to be concentrating
- 0:11Speaker 2: on the private schools and some Illinois area schools in
- 0:14Speaker 2: the six twenty eight to break down their schedules on what.
- 0:17Speaker 1: We think their potential is. Uh this for this season.
- 0:21Speaker 2: So we record this on the last day of July.
- 0:26Speaker 2: It's July thirty, first Friday. We're actually coming back. We
- 0:30Speaker 2: were just we popped in at Troy Kanan High School
- 0:33Speaker 2: for just a little bit to watch their purple and
- 0:34Speaker 2: Gold scrimmage. Do you have any initial quick snap judgement
- 0:39Speaker 2: snap judgments about that anything.
- 0:41Speaker 3: It was good to watch. I mean, you know, they
- 0:43Speaker 3: have some good athletes and they have such a huge
- 0:46Speaker 3: program up there there bound to get some good appletes
- 0:48Speaker 3: to come through every year. They got the same scheme
- 0:51Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball as they have in
- 0:52Speaker 3: previous years, the unique you know, five to one five
- 0:56Speaker 3: defense kind of thing they do. And Kardashiv are coming
- 1:01Speaker 3: back at QB. He looked pretty good today, so it
- 1:04Speaker 3: should be good gift for the children.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and I like, I always wanted to see
- 1:06Speaker 2: them in their coaches and yeah, great, good to see them.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Great.
- 1:09Speaker 3: That's a good fan base too.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Great people.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they're gonna be okay running back obviously,
- 1:14Speaker 2: I think it probably might be a long time before
- 1:16Speaker 2: they really replace a guy like Carter del he was
- 1:18Speaker 2: kind of the full package at running back. But I
- 1:20Speaker 2: saw three guys at running back who I think all
- 1:22Speaker 2: could could do the job, and I think they're going
- 1:24Speaker 2: to use all three of them, or at least two
- 1:25Speaker 2: of them, And so I think they they got some
- 1:28Speaker 2: good speed there, and it looks like they're implementing a
- 1:32Speaker 2: few more passing plays for you know, to cater to Schaeffer,
- 1:35Speaker 2: because he is a he is a good passing quarterback,
- 1:37Speaker 2: not not a runner particularly, But I think so I
- 1:42Speaker 2: think that's what they're gonna implement a little bit more.
- 1:44Speaker 2: And their offensive line, I think is gonna be their
- 1:47Speaker 2: strength because they returned three starters there didn't all exactly
- 1:51Speaker 2: quite play at the same time because I think like
- 1:53Speaker 2: one or two of them were on defense on the
- 1:55Speaker 2: D line, so just kind of using them both ways there.
- 1:57Speaker 2: But uh, but yeah, like nothing that I wasn't deterred
- 2:01Speaker 2: by anything, and I mean I wasn't. At the same time,
- 2:04Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I was particularly impressed at one particular thing.
- 2:07Speaker 2: But they're kind of who I thought they would be
- 2:09Speaker 2: and it's at a good level. So that's I'm feeling
- 2:12Speaker 2: confident about Troy. And we know that they have a
- 2:16Speaker 2: really big game to open the season against Eureka, and
- 2:19Speaker 2: so that's that's gonna be a very dog fight. It
- 2:22Speaker 2: will be.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:23Speaker 2: And I got to see Eureka this week too, at
- 2:26Speaker 2: at a scrimmage that they hosted with SLEW and ZUMO
- 2:29Speaker 2: North and yeah, so that's the conclusion that I have
- 2:33Speaker 2: is at Troy and Eureka, that's gonna be a great
- 2:35Speaker 2: game in the Week one.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Yeah. So well, speaking of great Week one games, we're
- 2:39Speaker 3: gonna hop into the mcc ceiling and floor predictions and
- 2:45Speaker 3: in Week one we're gonna start with the Smett Spartans.
- 2:48Speaker 3: They got a heavy hitting Week one game. They've played
- 2:51Speaker 3: Lyft for Life Week one uh runner ups last year
- 2:55Speaker 3: in Class three Lift for Life, who.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Will now be in Class four.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and so this month's got Lift Life at Home.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Week one This met is at Cardinal Ritter week two
- 3:06Speaker 3: and then week three this smet host CBC. Week four
- 3:09Speaker 3: they host Shamanad, Week five, they host Viannie. Week six,
- 3:12Speaker 3: they're at Sleugh High. Week seven they host Saint Plis
- 3:16Speaker 3: Sax out of KC. Week eight they're at Saint Mary's
- 3:19Speaker 3: and week and nine they host Lutheran North. This is
- 3:23Speaker 3: a heavy hitting schedule.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I mean, this is one they don't have any like times,
- 3:29Speaker 2: anytimes to breathe. Maybe maybe Shamandadani I would say there,
- 3:33Speaker 2: but that's it.
- 3:34Speaker 3: So well, Saint Pi Sex they went I think like
- 3:37Speaker 3: seven and five last year. They lost in the lost
- 3:39Speaker 3: Platte County in the Class five playoffs.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I think they lost the Rockers to actually.
- 3:43Speaker 3: The semifinals, Saint Plaisax of k C.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Last year, Yeah, they.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Last five district eighth they lost to Platt County.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Okay, so they would have been a four seed Okay.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:54Speaker 1: And then by the way, Saint Pi Sax.
- 3:57Speaker 2: They will be in Class three and so they're actually
- 4:00Speaker 2: one of the favorite They might yeah, they might even
- 4:02Speaker 2: be the favorites in Class three because of that. So
- 4:06Speaker 2: that could look really good on the schedule for the
- 4:08Speaker 2: s as this after the season ends, and then Saint Mary's,
- 4:10Speaker 2: who's final four in Class four, and then luther North,
- 4:14Speaker 2: who is not the same exact Lutheran North.
- 4:17Speaker 1: But you best not overlook them though.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean, yeah, this is just a heavy,
- 4:23Speaker 3: heavy hitting schedule, but uh, we know coach Merritt and
- 4:27Speaker 3: that staff are gonna get the absolute most out of
- 4:30Speaker 3: those boys over to smeth. Yeah, they will always have
- 4:33Speaker 3: a very physical offensive line that really hits their assignments,
- 4:36Speaker 3: especially in the second level, and they're gonna have great athletes.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So even though this is an extremely loaded schedule, I'm
- 4:48Speaker 3: gonna go with a nine to zer ceiling, and I
- 4:50Speaker 3: will go with a I will go with a.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Six and three floor. I was slightly worse on my end.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I think eight and one.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Ceiling and a five and four floor, just based on
- 5:01Speaker 2: like how tough their schedule is, because you know, they
- 5:05Speaker 2: could feasibly start zero to three against slife Ritter and CBC,
- 5:10Speaker 2: because those are all pretty tough games in their own right.
- 5:13Speaker 1: That Slew game at Slew's gonna be tricky.
- 5:16Speaker 2: I think they got I think they should beat Saint
- 5:18Speaker 2: Pi Sax and then at Saint Mary's.
- 5:20Speaker 1: That that's tricky. I think Saint Mary's will have.
- 5:24Speaker 2: A really good defense, but de Smet the I mean
- 5:28Speaker 2: they they should get Saint Mary's with their depth and uh,
- 5:34Speaker 2: but I think that the key for the Smet this
- 5:36Speaker 2: year is can they improve their defense.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Their offense was pretty good.
- 5:39Speaker 2: They finished pretty strong at the end of the season
- 5:41Speaker 2: last year, and they got some really good players coming back,
- 5:44Speaker 2: like Cam Sharp is one of them at running back.
- 5:46Speaker 2: He'll be one of the best running backs in the
- 5:47Speaker 2: area as just as a junior, and he had one
- 5:49Speaker 2: of the better statistical outputs as a sophomore in the
- 5:52Speaker 2: entire area.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Griez had he graduated.
- 5:58Speaker 2: He did. But they I like their quarterback Chase Cooper
- 6:01Speaker 2: coming up. He's a junior. He's part of their really
- 6:03Speaker 2: good twenty twenty eight class that they have, but they
- 6:07Speaker 2: will be older across the board. They have a lot
- 6:09Speaker 2: of returning starters coming back. But tested out of the
- 6:12Speaker 2: gate with lift for Live Ritter and CBC three games,
- 6:16Speaker 2: I think that could go anyway. I do think they'll
- 6:19Speaker 2: take two out of three of those. I just if
- 6:22Speaker 2: they can go three. If they can go three and
- 6:24Speaker 2: on in that first slate, I think there's a really
- 6:25Speaker 2: good shot they do go nine.
- 6:26Speaker 1: To know but I just think they lose.
- 6:28Speaker 2: One of those games pretty much so, but to go
- 6:31Speaker 2: eight and one with the schedule be massive for this match,
- 6:34Speaker 2: and that would definitely put them on right up there
- 6:36Speaker 2: with among the best in the state.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Yeah, speak of those For three games, we'll head over
- 6:41Speaker 3: to CBC. CBC Week one they play Trinity, that is
- 6:46Speaker 3: the Trinity out of Louisville, Kentucky, and they're at our Trinity. Yeah,
- 6:50Speaker 3: ri ip Trady Saint louis And then week two CBC
- 6:54Speaker 3: host Slew early is Dart for the air conference schedule.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Week three CBC's ad to SeMet four, they are at Bianni.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Week five they're at Lipskimb Academy in Tennessee. Believe that's
- 7:06Speaker 3: the team they've played before.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Yeah, they beating them too.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Week six they're at Raven Gap, which team they played
- 7:14Speaker 3: last year and they wanted to shootout as a classic. Yeah,
- 7:17Speaker 3: and then weeks seven they host Shamanad. We eight they're
- 7:21Speaker 3: at Cardinal Ritter and it looks like week nine they're
- 7:23Speaker 3: have an open date.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I guess they have a bye.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Yeah, they can still figure I guess get another game,
- 7:27Speaker 2: but yeah, it's probably not out.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Of state team they could find and I'm sure that
- 7:31Speaker 3: CBC is looking around. They're willing to play anybody, clearly,
- 7:33Speaker 3: I mean they were happy to go out of state
- 7:35Speaker 3: for a game. But yeah, I don't know too much
- 7:39Speaker 3: about the Trinity Kentucky team. I do know that Raven
- 7:43Speaker 3: Gap is consistent, you know, top fifty, top fifty team
- 7:48Speaker 3: in Georgia.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I think their top twenty five
- 7:53Speaker 2: last year.
- 7:53Speaker 3: And any top twenty five team in Georgia would easily
- 7:57Speaker 3: be a top three or top one team in Missouri.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Yes, with all due respect, yes, yes.
- 8:03Speaker 3: So yeah for CBC. Again, I don't know if should
- 8:07Speaker 3: we assume they pick up a ninth game? Oh, I know,
- 8:09Speaker 3: I'll with the schedule. I'm looking at mishaw dot com
- 8:14Speaker 3: right now. Uh, I'm just gonna go based off the
- 8:17Speaker 3: eight games they have. I'm gonna go, by the way,
- 8:23Speaker 3: I'm gonna go.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Four before before you finished that, sorry, Trinity finishes the
- 8:28Speaker 2: number one, number one ranked team in Kentucky on Max
- 8:30Speaker 2: Preps and number ninety one nationally who going thirteen and
- 8:34Speaker 2: two and winning the state championship. So I think they
- 8:39Speaker 2: got their hands full CBC.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Yeah they do. And the only team CBC's Instagram story.
- 8:45Speaker 3: They are open in Week nine.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And by the way, the only two teams they lost
- 8:48Speaker 2: to last year were Archbishop Moller and Sant Xavier, both
- 8:52Speaker 2: from Ohio, which I plan on covering this year at
- 8:54Speaker 2: some point in time. And that both those games were
- 8:56Speaker 2: three point losses.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Yeah, so this even though, Yeah, that this is and.
- 9:01Speaker 1: They beat Caramel from Indiana, who is really good too.
- 9:03Speaker 3: This is an extremely loaded schedule. These out of state
- 9:06Speaker 3: games are going to be very, very tough. I'm going
- 9:08Speaker 3: to go with a I don't want to say this,
- 9:13Speaker 3: but I have to. No, I can't. I can't do it.
- 9:16Speaker 3: I'll go seven to one ceiling and I'll go I
- 9:21Speaker 3: can't go four and fourth, I'll go five and three floor.
- 9:23Speaker 3: I was about to say six and two ceiling, simply
- 9:28Speaker 3: because they play such tough out of state teams. Not
- 9:30Speaker 3: to say CBC can't win, but it's it's nothing against
- 9:35Speaker 3: CBC again.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It's just and they're young.
- 9:37Speaker 2: I mean, well, they lost a lot of talent and
- 9:39Speaker 2: then they had Courty Gauge.
- 9:41Speaker 3: I heard Cordia engage and I want to play football.
- 9:42Speaker 3: That's correct, which is brutal for CBC because he was
- 9:45Speaker 3: kind of one of their do everything, guys.
- 9:47Speaker 2: It was. I mean they lost a really good kicker
- 9:50Speaker 2: and punter, yeah, if anything, if anything, and a.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Great receiver and a good dB.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, I think.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I think a six and two ceiling, uh, like Trinity
- 10:05Speaker 2: and at Ridders, I think they could beat Ridder but
- 10:08Speaker 2: like Raven Gap is gonna be really tough. I don't
- 10:11Speaker 2: know how good Lipscom is, but they usually beat them
- 10:13Speaker 2: so and then that the Smet game. That's that that
- 10:15Speaker 2: could go either way. So I'll say six and two
- 10:17Speaker 2: floor and I'll say a four and four six two ceiling,
- 10:20Speaker 2: six and two ceiling, four and four floor.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds crazy to say, but we knew coming
- 10:26Speaker 3: in last year we were gonna get from CBC and
- 10:28Speaker 3: how they would have just a loaded offense and now
- 10:31Speaker 3: they had crazy athletes everywhere. Not just saying they don't
- 10:35Speaker 3: have good athletes this year, but there's not as much
- 10:38Speaker 3: returning productions for what was last year. Yeah, well, we
- 10:41Speaker 3: expect good things out of CBC because you know coach Pingles,
- 10:43Speaker 3: you know, sure, a legend like he's always going to
- 10:46Speaker 3: get great teams to come out, but not as much hype.
- 10:49Speaker 3: I could say they probably appreciate honestly, they probably enjoy
- 10:54Speaker 3: being a little bit out of the spotlight. Yes and no,
- 10:57Speaker 3: I mean they're always gonna be in the spot because.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Especially for private at schools, I think they usually really
- 11:02Speaker 2: want to be in the spotlight, even when it it
- 11:04Speaker 2: probably benefits them to stay a little low under the radar.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Private schools typically at least in here, they want to
- 11:11Speaker 2: be in the spotlight, even if they might be a
- 11:12Speaker 2: little bit down and whatnot.
- 11:13Speaker 1: You know. But oh well, we do know. I think
- 11:19Speaker 1: we got a little bit.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Of an indication of who might their their quarterback might
- 11:22Speaker 2: be because Franklin McGuinty, who he was named one of
- 11:25Speaker 2: the team captains, and he's a guy who i've seen
- 11:27Speaker 2: line up a quarterback for them, one of the five
- 11:29Speaker 2: team captains today, So maybe that's an I don't know
- 11:32Speaker 2: if that's for sure.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I mean, we know he's a team captain, but like,
- 11:34Speaker 1: does that mean he'll be had the second.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Most passing attempts last year in the teams?
- 11:38Speaker 2: That would make sense, Yeah, so he'll ye last year
- 11:41Speaker 2: he did he did, so yeah, it's I think CBC
- 11:46Speaker 2: could go in a lot of different directions. I think
- 11:48Speaker 2: it's a really good schedule still like I expect them
- 11:52Speaker 2: to still go at least three and one in the
- 11:54Speaker 2: MCC and uh, but yeah, they're on the conference. Schedule
- 11:59Speaker 2: is a gaunt Yeah, so they're certainly gonna be tested,
- 12:04Speaker 2: like if they can go six and two, like, like,
- 12:06Speaker 2: I think that's a top twenty.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Five team in the Midwest, right there.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right. Next up, stalk about Junior Billicans
- 12:12Speaker 3: and slew High. Week one they host Hazeld Central. Week
- 12:16Speaker 3: two they're at CBC, Week three they're at Seanad, Week
- 12:19Speaker 3: four at Saint Donic, and then they are home four
- 12:22Speaker 3: weeks in a row against Lyft for Life in week five.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Week six home a gets the smet Week seven host
- 12:29Speaker 3: of Vianni, and then week eight they host Gateway and
- 12:32Speaker 3: then week nine they're at Rockhurst. End the season.
- 12:34Speaker 2: It's a good schedule. It's a very good schedule.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Uh, you know, typical, very competitive sleu High schedule, you know,
- 12:42Speaker 3: I mean they use they usually no matter how good
- 12:43Speaker 3: or bad sleu High may be, they always schedule some
- 12:45Speaker 3: miser's best, which I definitely respect. Yea, they get I don't.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I don't want to sound rude here, I really don't.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Oh no, we're not trying, but they get they get
- 12:57Speaker 3: a tune up game before they play CBC.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Oh, I see, yeah.
- 13:00Speaker 3: And that's gonna help them. I mean that's I'm not
- 13:04Speaker 3: gonna sugarcoat. I mean, hey, this is not I'm not
- 13:07Speaker 3: trying to take shots Hazel Central and it is what
- 13:09Speaker 3: it is. Saint Louis football was better when the Hawks
- 13:14Speaker 3: were at the top. Yeah, and I wish their dynasty
- 13:18Speaker 3: could return, I really do, but at least for now,
- 13:20Speaker 3: there's just not used to be. Yeah, and that's that's
- 13:23Speaker 3: a game Sleu High should win.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Unfortunately for a lot of other especially the private schools,
- 13:26Speaker 2: they hope their dynasty never returns.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Well anyway, is that it's tough schedule. I mean,
- 13:32Speaker 3: that's cities. He's a game, that's the game at the
- 13:34Speaker 3: CBC game, that's the game. They haven't won what twenty
- 13:36Speaker 3: two years?
- 13:36Speaker 2: I think.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I think it was five.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Yeah, so over two decades the same dominant game should
- 13:47Speaker 3: be very interesting.
- 13:48Speaker 2: I think, I think I think I think's got that one.
- 13:53Speaker 3: The Lift for Life game that should be a dog
- 13:55Speaker 3: fight down should be fun.
- 13:56Speaker 2: It was last year, same location, and yeah, uh that
- 14:00Speaker 2: was that'd be great and yeah, they I kind of
- 14:04Speaker 2: it kind of bounces out a little bit because like, yeah,
- 14:06Speaker 2: you got CBC and at Shamanad could be interesting. I say, like,
- 14:09Speaker 2: you know, you can't take those teams lightly for sure,
- 14:12Speaker 2: But then and then you got Lyft for Life. You
- 14:14Speaker 2: got geez, you got like five games right there that
- 14:18Speaker 2: are gonna be tough in their own ways if they can.
- 14:23Speaker 2: I think if they start out three and one, that'd
- 14:24Speaker 2: be ideal. Look, they haven't beaten CBC in over twenty years,
- 14:28Speaker 2: so until it happens, you just assume they lose, right,
- 14:31Speaker 2: So it Lift for Life. I think it could be
- 14:34Speaker 2: a pretty good game. I mean, we were in our
- 14:36Speaker 2: top twenty five Missouri rankings. We got SLEW at twenty
- 14:38Speaker 2: and Lift for Life at eighteen, So I think that
- 14:40Speaker 2: should be a really good game. The Smets sloopy the
- 14:43Speaker 2: Smet last year, but this is this has improved a
- 14:45Speaker 2: Smet team and maybe a slightly not so good SLEW team.
- 14:49Speaker 2: And when I say not so good, I still think
- 14:50Speaker 2: they're pretty good.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Last year's team was probably their best football year and.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Since twenty eleven.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a heck of a team last year.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Heck of a team.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:59Speaker 3: And then they play Rocker s which a lot of
- 15:01Speaker 3: people say is the best team in the state.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Nine.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I say they're the best team in the state. I
- 15:05Speaker 2: don't know about a lot of other people.
- 15:06Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with the six and three ceiling
- 15:09Speaker 3: and a five or four and five floor.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Four and five floor, Okay, I oh, I'll match you
- 15:17Speaker 2: at that six and three ceiling.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Remember floor is like worst case scenario.
- 15:21Speaker 2: That's true, So trying to think I don't think I
- 15:24Speaker 2: think so, But like, okay, let's say in worst case
- 15:27Speaker 2: scenario they lose CBC lose Worth Life, they lose I
- 15:31Speaker 2: think five and four is worst case scenario.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I really think. I really think they beat well and Dominic.
- 15:36Speaker 3: I mean to be fair that there really are.
- 15:39Speaker 1: So he's got a really good defense.
- 15:40Speaker 3: We have three different tiers of teams they play. Yeah,
- 15:44Speaker 3: there's the elite teams CBC, de Smet Rockhurst. There's the
- 15:50Speaker 3: solid teams, which is kind of just Lift Lift Life,
- 15:54Speaker 3: and I don't know. St. Dom's not that tier anymore.
- 15:57Speaker 3: They're a great program, but at st DOAM last year
- 15:59Speaker 3: they lose a time.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I don't know if they really ever were in that
- 16:02Speaker 2: tier with.
- 16:04Speaker 1: With what with like Lift for Life.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Okay, maybe last year just because of the matchup, but
- 16:09Speaker 2: I mean talent wise, Lift for Life it blows them
- 16:11Speaker 2: out of water.
- 16:13Speaker 3: I don't know about blows them out of water, but
- 16:15Speaker 3: it's just what do you compare their talent the talent team.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Last year's had some some some solid I think St.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Dominic probably had a better overall all around team than
- 16:24Speaker 2: Lift for Life, but just talent for talent, player for player,
- 16:26Speaker 2: Lift for Lives probably better than Saint dominicast year.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Anyways, we get a one game difference between your siling floor,
- 16:34Speaker 3: which kind of shows we know what to expect from
- 16:37Speaker 3: their schedule. Yeah, so all right, next up we'll go
- 16:41Speaker 3: we'll hit Shamanad real quick Shamanad Week one at Marquette.
- 16:45Speaker 3: That should be interesting. That's an interesting games if.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Because it's a newer it's a more improved Marquette team
- 16:50Speaker 2: I think this year, but they still have to prove
- 16:52Speaker 2: a lot. They still have a lot to prove and
- 16:55Speaker 2: Shamanad we two.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Shamana host Popular Bluff Week three, the hosts SLEW High
- 16:59Speaker 3: WE four, they're at just Smet Week five they host
- 17:02Speaker 3: Saint Dominic. I guess St. Donald's an honor remember of
- 17:04Speaker 3: the MCC this year. I know week six beyond hey
- 17:08Speaker 3: maybe one day. Week seven they're at CBC. WE eight
- 17:12Speaker 3: they host Lyft for Life Life also in honor remember
- 17:15Speaker 3: the MCC. This year it's Look and then week nine
- 17:17Speaker 3: they host Francis Howe. So again, that's a tough schedule.
- 17:20Speaker 3: It's a very tough schedule. But Sean is not dodging
- 17:23Speaker 3: any smoke. No, they got a Marquette team.
- 17:26Speaker 1: We apologize if you hear the other people.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some background noise here in the studio. Unfortunately,
- 17:33Speaker 3: we'll try to uh project cool. Anyway, it's a tough schedule.
- 17:38Speaker 3: I mean, it's a very tough schedule.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Normally, if you go off of just last year, you'd think, okay,
- 17:42Speaker 2: Marquette and Poplar Bluff to just kind of fizzle in
- 17:45Speaker 2: settle into the season.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Like No, like.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Marquette, that's gonna be a tough game. They returned a
- 17:50Speaker 2: lot of stars because they had a lot of injuries
- 17:51Speaker 2: last year. Markette returns a lot more stars than they
- 17:54Speaker 2: typically do. They kind of like they kind of like
- 17:58Speaker 2: themselves this year. And then Poplar Bluff. I don't haven't
- 18:01Speaker 2: heard much about them, although them and Shama had a
- 18:04Speaker 2: really close game last year.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Shama they won't. They beat Poplar Bluff on like a
- 18:07Speaker 1: half back pass.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Your last year with Shamana beat Popular fourteen to seven.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a very very close game.
- 18:15Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they Seana scored the winning touchdown less
- 18:19Speaker 3: than middle left.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Half back pass. Yeah, or maybe it was water. It
- 18:22Speaker 1: was a trick play pass slow.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I just don't see them winning that Smet at the smet, Yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Saint Dominic, that's it.
- 18:31Speaker 2: That could be the biggest game of the year for them, honestly,
- 18:33Speaker 2: because if they can beat Saint Domic, that means they
- 18:35Speaker 2: should beat the Yannie.
- 18:36Speaker 3: And does Winston Wiler come back? He graduated?
- 18:39Speaker 1: He graduated?
- 18:40Speaker 3: Okay, they have, they have because they had Marion Barnes
- 18:42Speaker 3: on there too. He's back. He would he would get
- 18:46Speaker 3: he would average at least he game like, he would
- 18:51Speaker 3: get snaps in the center.
- 18:51Speaker 1: He could run.
- 18:53Speaker 2: He's a pretty He's probably a better running threat than
- 18:57Speaker 2: passing threat. But if he has improved on its passing,
- 18:59Speaker 2: then he's a he's a good quarterback. Then Isaac Hudson
- 19:03Speaker 2: is a really good receiver for them. They lost some
- 19:08Speaker 2: guys and who transferred out who would have been returning
- 19:11Speaker 2: starters for them. So yeah, I mean I don't. And
- 19:15Speaker 2: they've been new head coach now too, so kept going
- 19:19Speaker 2: and going in a new direction there.
- 19:21Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens. I mean, I don't.
- 19:24Speaker 2: I haven't heard a whole lot about them and this
- 19:27Speaker 2: this offseason and you know, so.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Kind of a wild card here.
- 19:32Speaker 3: But maybe that's how they want it, and.
- 19:35Speaker 2: They're approaching it better like some other teams are doing.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Just instead of trying to hype yourselves up and coming
- 19:40Speaker 2: off as sometimes sometimes arrogant, just remain outside of the
- 19:46Speaker 2: of the radar and maybe be nice. And that's what
- 19:48Speaker 2: they're doing, and that's good.
- 19:51Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with a five and four ceiling, and
- 19:55Speaker 3: I'll have to go with three and and seven floor.
- 20:02Speaker 1: I think two and seven floor.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, because I think because if I
- 20:09Speaker 3: say a three and six floor, that means I can
- 20:11Speaker 3: guarantee three wins the schedule.
- 20:13Speaker 2: I don't know if I can, honestly well, I could
- 20:14Speaker 2: go one an eight floor, I mean, given how Yeah,
- 20:19Speaker 2: I think.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Ben can sneak on.
- 20:21Speaker 2: This is going really badly for them, Like this, This really.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Isn't even a knock on on the devils. This is
- 20:27Speaker 3: this is a schedule. It's a very tough schedule.
- 20:29Speaker 2: We're saying that because this is a tough schedule. It's
- 20:32Speaker 2: not because we think that you suck. We're thinking of
- 20:34Speaker 2: the worst case scenario. This is what happens.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, all right, let's run out
- 20:40Speaker 3: of the mcc let's go to Beanni. Yeah, okay, mission
- 20:44Speaker 3: is not updated. Let's can find on instagram.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Their first game is against Limberg and their week two
- 20:50Speaker 2: games against Le dou and then they got Lutheran Saint
- 20:54Speaker 2: Charles in week three.
- 20:58Speaker 3: I knew the play Luis, which was an odd thing
- 21:00Speaker 3: to see on the schedule.
- 21:02Speaker 1: I think they got Lutheran St. Charles. I think they
- 21:03Speaker 1: beat them there.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they they absolutely should.
- 21:07Speaker 2: They play Saint Pius X from Festus.
- 21:10Speaker 3: That could go okay, that's interesting. But QB graduated Sam.
- 21:17Speaker 2: What was his name? That's Sam? I forget his name already, Sorry.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Sam, Yeah, you know your first name?
- 21:26Speaker 1: His first name and not his last name.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I don't know. That's odd. I usually remember last names first.
- 21:30Speaker 1: I know.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Yeah, we're already moving on to different people.
- 21:33Speaker 1: But no, he was really good. He's gonna be hard
- 21:36Speaker 1: to replace.
- 21:36Speaker 2: So they they have a freshman quarterback named Harlan food Trelle.
- 21:40Speaker 1: He's their guy. He will be their guy. He's a freshman.
- 21:43Speaker 3: So the oniest schedule is not on Instagram either, So
- 21:46Speaker 3: have a mystery for the Golden Griffins.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I think I'll put them like a four and five.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I'll say four and five ceiling and two and seven four.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Assuming it's the same schedule. Okay, so their scheduled last year.
- 22:02Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the same. It's not the
- 22:04Speaker 3: same as last year. Okay, I don't even know.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I'll say five and four. So I'll say five and
- 22:10Speaker 2: four ceiling.
- 22:12Speaker 1: They're young. They're young. I mean, they're only gonna.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Have like Sam Dean their graduate SAMD.
- 22:19Speaker 2: They're gonna have like just a handful of seniors and
- 22:22Speaker 2: a handful of juniors starting and it's there's They're gonna
- 22:24Speaker 2: have a lot of sophomores out there.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I'll go freshman because I again, I should have been
- 22:31Speaker 3: research here, but their schedules is just not online, which
- 22:34Speaker 3: is crazy because it's almost August. So I don't know why.
- 22:36Speaker 1: I could ask some people and they would give it
- 22:37Speaker 1: to me.
- 22:37Speaker 3: But I'll just I'll just go. I'll just go yeah.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Think of it this way. Breakdown. We have their schedule.
- 22:46Speaker 1: We have their whole schedule right here. It's just like
- 22:48Speaker 1: they have four games on this No. No, they have Limburg,
- 22:52Speaker 1: I guess, plus the MC schools Limberg.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Lutheran, Saint Charles, Saint Class X, Sullivan, and then you
- 22:57Speaker 2: got the MCC schools.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Limberg, Ladoo, Threne, just smet CBC Hamanad. Ok Okay, okay,
- 23:10Speaker 3: I think, but I think they don't. They don't beat
- 23:13Speaker 3: I don't think they beat Lindberg. I don't think they
- 23:15Speaker 3: beat LaDou. I think they beat Lutheran, Saint Charles. Yeah,
- 23:21Speaker 3: I think if it works out.
- 23:23Speaker 2: This way, you know, I'll go back to four and
- 23:28Speaker 2: five ceiling because I think I think they can beat
- 23:33Speaker 2: Here's what I'll say. I think they can beat Shamanad,
- 23:36Speaker 2: they can beat Lutheran, they should beat Lutheran. They I
- 23:39Speaker 2: guess they should beat Saint Pi Sax. That's not gonna
- 23:41Speaker 2: be so easy for them because if Yanni doesn't have
- 23:43Speaker 2: that great of it, if they're not physical upfront, sat
- 23:45Speaker 2: Fire say they they will run around you, They'll run
- 23:48Speaker 2: through you. Let's just say for the for the fact
- 23:51Speaker 2: of just being positive towards Vianna. I'll say they beat them,
- 23:54Speaker 2: and then Sullivan. Sullivan is not easy to I'll say
- 23:58Speaker 2: four and five ceiling and then two and seven four.
- 24:03Speaker 3: All right.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I think Collin Chatrell's gonna be a great quarterback. He's
- 24:07Speaker 2: still a freshman, so he's got to have growing pains
- 24:09Speaker 2: because that's because that's what just the freshmen do that.
- 24:12Speaker 2: And they have good receivers. Noah Williams, he's committed to
- 24:15Speaker 2: the SU. Carbondale Robert Atherton is a running back who
- 24:19Speaker 2: started for them as a sophomore. He didn't play last year,
- 24:21Speaker 2: but he will be back at running back. I just
- 24:25Speaker 2: I'm wondering what what their offensive line is going to
- 24:28Speaker 2: look like and what their defense is going to look like.
- 24:31Speaker 2: So I think those are some big question marks right there.
- 24:33Speaker 3: All right, as if the MCC a bunch of loaded schedules,
- 24:37Speaker 3: which is great, and they they're it's, you know, the
- 24:41Speaker 3: best conference had to tow in the area, so they
- 24:44Speaker 3: should make card schedules and they do. That's good.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm on lift for life right here.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Since we've seen them.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like we mentioned them eight times a
- 24:52Speaker 3: ready because they play half MCC. It seems like, I
- 24:54Speaker 3: don't know if.
- 24:55Speaker 2: This is their full schedule because they're missing something in
- 24:57Speaker 2: for week two.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Maybe that's just the way it is. Maybe.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Yeah, so they got we know they have. They're at
- 25:04Speaker 2: this obviously, they're at most places everywhere. At Brentwood, Tennessee,
- 25:09Speaker 2: who's one of the best teams in Tennessee. Yeah, they
- 25:12Speaker 2: are a Nashville area team. I've actually I've not been there,
- 25:16Speaker 2: so I've been out there there at Brentwood is a pretty.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Nice area out there. Yeah, it's a nice suburb.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Lutheran Saint Charles at Slew, host Saint Mary's, host Cardinal
- 25:27Speaker 2: Ritter at Shamanad and then host Hickman.
- 25:30Speaker 1: It's pretty tough.
- 25:31Speaker 3: It's a very tough schedule.
- 25:33Speaker 2: It's really tough. I mean this is this is tougher
- 25:35Speaker 2: than their schedule last year.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Which said something because their schedule last year was pretty tough.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Yeah, they played some smaller schools, but they really only
- 25:43Speaker 2: play like I think Lutheran St.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Charles.
- 25:46Speaker 2: With respect to Lutheran St. Charles, I think that's like
- 25:48Speaker 2: their one gimmea game on the schedule here. But uh,
- 25:54Speaker 2: I mean, geez, I think I would say I would
- 26:00Speaker 2: say because it's only eight right here, a three and
- 26:03Speaker 2: five floor because like the smet Brentwood slew Saint Mary's
- 26:08Speaker 2: ritter that's tough, could easily could easily end up on
- 26:12Speaker 2: the losing end in those games, likely will lose the
- 26:15Speaker 2: brent Wood.
- 26:17Speaker 1: I won't count them out again.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Again, just to reiterate, we we hope that whenever a
- 26:22Speaker 3: single Seria team there's an out of area team, we
- 26:25Speaker 3: want the singulettle Seria team to win. But this is
- 26:27Speaker 3: just a prediction for what could happen. Yes, so don't
- 26:29Speaker 3: get mad and say, oh, why are you hating on
- 26:32Speaker 3: our own teams. We're not. No, we want them to
- 26:34Speaker 3: We want we want CBC and beat Trinity and ravend
- 26:37Speaker 3: Gap and we want Live for Life to beat Brentwood.
- 26:43Speaker 3: But Bin's heck of a team. So alad be honest.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Here the bigger Brentwood.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Yes, sorry not.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, And like look if we don't tell
- 26:57Speaker 2: it how it is, guys, and like you shouldn't listen
- 27:00Speaker 2: to us because we don't want to be happy go
- 27:03Speaker 2: lucky guys who sugarcoat everything and don't want to be
- 27:05Speaker 2: trying not be offensive.
- 27:07Speaker 1: That's that's what we do here.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think three and five ceiling with that,
- 27:14Speaker 2: and I think.
- 27:16Speaker 1: And Higgins's not Higgins's gonna be.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Easy to Bickman should be a solid team this year. Yeah,
- 27:21Speaker 3: Hickman's Higgins's got momentum they have not have for a
- 27:24Speaker 3: long time.
- 27:25Speaker 1: For real. I'll say five and three ceiling. But that that's.
- 27:35Speaker 2: That'd be solid if they could do that, you really would?
- 27:38Speaker 2: Is that? I think that's showing on game I can't tell.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Some of these games are like on I think Saturday
- 27:42Speaker 2: or Friday. Yeah, because Saint Like ooh, I could maybe
- 27:48Speaker 2: go to that Brentwood game because on on the twelfth,
- 27:50Speaker 2: that's a Saturday at one pm.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Oh nice.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Nashville is only five hours away.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Easy day, well, not an easy day trip, but I
- 27:57Speaker 3: mean an easy week or easy weekend.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Maybe not because I could be in Chicago or somewhere
- 28:02Speaker 2: that we'll see.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Before we get to the Mentro League. There's a couple
- 28:08Speaker 3: former Triple A teams I want to mention, the first
- 28:10Speaker 3: of which, when I first saw the schedule, I think
- 28:13Speaker 3: I smiled because of how.
- 28:15Speaker 1: We've done a breakdown of this.
- 28:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll go over it again because it's I
- 28:20Speaker 3: respect the heck out of it and it should be
- 28:22Speaker 3: really really fun to track this team. First of all,
- 28:24Speaker 3: the graphic itself is extremely it's bold.
- 28:32Speaker 1: I think it's a I, but I don't. I don't care.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Somebody told it to look like that.
- 28:37Speaker 3: It's Cardinal Ritter's Instagram schedule drop and it says Ridder
- 28:41Speaker 3: Football Saint Louis's football team. Okay, that's a heck of
- 28:46Speaker 3: a claim.
- 28:47Speaker 2: That might not even be a I. I won't even
- 28:49Speaker 2: say that. I'll put respect on whoever made that league name.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Week one they host Lutheran NORTHK two, they host a
- 28:56Speaker 3: smet Week three they're at Knoxville Affleck in Tennessee SEC Country.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Week four they host Millard South. Millard South is from Nebraska.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Week five they're at Saint James Academy in Virginia. Week
- 29:12Speaker 3: six they host Naperville Central Neighborville, Illinois.
- 29:16Speaker 1: That's correct, another prestigious area.
- 29:19Speaker 3: The week seven, they're at Lyft. This is at Lyft
- 29:22Speaker 3: for life. That cannot be true, because.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Well we just went over that.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Yes, we're just I would assume they're hosting Lyft Life there.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Week eight they host CBC and week nine they end
- 29:33Speaker 3: their season at Jackson. I think I mean just from
- 29:38Speaker 3: outsider's perspective, this is probably gonna be the most fun
- 29:42Speaker 3: team to track, simply because of the mix of UH
- 29:48Speaker 3: in state, large private schools in state, large public school,
- 29:53Speaker 3: out of state school, out of state public school, out
- 29:56Speaker 3: of state private school. They this is just a true
- 30:00Speaker 3: mix of all the different kinds of high schools you
- 30:02Speaker 3: could play, and ridders all about playing the best of
- 30:06Speaker 3: the best, which I really respect.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Yeah, they've really morphed into that over just a short
- 30:10Speaker 2: period of time. Mm hm.
- 30:13Speaker 3: They lose one of the better athletes they've had in
- 30:15Speaker 3: quite a long time in Manny Ellis.
- 30:18Speaker 2: He graduated, Yeah, he I mean he set like all
- 30:22Speaker 2: time single season performance records in Saint Louis history.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and he also got playing the medals of the
- 30:27Speaker 3: state trash nam as well.
- 30:29Speaker 1: They set records. But he was he was up, He
- 30:31Speaker 1: was up.
- 30:31Speaker 3: His season was up there with some really good names.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Thirty one touchdowns which was crazy. Well, Riley Moore I
- 30:37Speaker 3: think should come back as QB, right.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I would assume he'll be back for a while because
- 30:40Speaker 1: he's only a sophomore.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say I assumed he was gonna
- 30:42Speaker 3: be the guy because he was Moe the guy last
- 30:44Speaker 3: year as a freshman, did pretty well that role as
- 30:46Speaker 3: a freshman.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Yeah, now he'll be the full time guy because cashman
- 30:49Speaker 2: Manchuck transferred to transferred back to his hometown in Logan Rogersville,
- 30:53Speaker 2: which is.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting he did, yes, interesting, Uh yeah. And I'm
- 30:57Speaker 3: sure the Riders is gonna be loaded on the perimeter
- 30:58Speaker 3: with athletes because they always are.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Yes, I think they have the best I think they
- 31:03Speaker 2: have the best receiving corps in the state. Because he
- 31:06Speaker 2: got Ryan Rich McDavis who is a four star, and
- 31:09Speaker 2: then you have Malan Green who was committed to Oklahoma.
- 31:13Speaker 2: So that's a pretty deadly one two punch right there.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Terrence Jones is a really good running back. He's a sophomore.
- 31:19Speaker 3: He's got kry Jones had over ten yards of carry
- 31:22Speaker 3: last year.
- 31:22Speaker 2: He's got some not a I didn't see a ton
- 31:24Speaker 2: of action, but that's still pretty good. And but he's
- 31:27Speaker 2: got an offer from USC and some smaller offers besides that.
- 31:30Speaker 1: But he's already getting noticed. And then.
- 31:36Speaker 2: They have a mere Tillman who transferred from East Louis
- 31:38Speaker 2: He and he averaged like six like somewhere the nine
- 31:44Speaker 2: yards of Cary for East Louis Las year he had
- 31:45Speaker 2: he had their third most carries, but he scored in
- 31:49Speaker 2: the state championship. He scored like on a fifty yard
- 31:51Speaker 2: run in the state title game against Fenwick. So he's
- 31:56Speaker 2: gonna add something good to the mix right there. So
- 31:58Speaker 2: that that's I think they have two pretty capable running backs.
- 32:02Speaker 2: You're asking a lot of out of guys like Jones,
- 32:04Speaker 2: who's a sophomore, then More who's a sophomore in some
- 32:07Speaker 2: pretty important positions. But they're talented enough to do it.
- 32:10Speaker 2: And if you're good enough, you're old enough. Yeah, and
- 32:13Speaker 2: their their O line will be big. They got good size.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Martin Gailliard, he's a returning player for them. He's one
- 32:21Speaker 2: of the linemen that we put in our watch lists.
- 32:25Speaker 2: And DJ Boone he's a defensive end for them, who
- 32:28Speaker 2: committed to SIU Carbondale yesterday.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I mean, I think they graduated all their other guys
- 32:36Speaker 2: on their D line, so that it I guess if
- 32:39Speaker 2: they had a weakness on defense.
- 32:40Speaker 1: It's there.
- 32:42Speaker 2: But I mean, I think they should be fine at
- 32:43Speaker 2: linebacker because they got Marshon Ivy's committed to He's three
- 32:46Speaker 2: star committed to Arizona State, and their secondary's gonna be
- 32:50Speaker 2: really good.
- 32:52Speaker 1: They have a few guys coming back.
- 32:53Speaker 2: And then they've Jeremy Jeremy Williams, who is a I
- 32:58Speaker 2: don't think he was a years ago. I think he
- 33:00Speaker 2: started for Lafayette in twenty twenty four and they made
- 33:03Speaker 2: their run to the semi finals. And he was at
- 33:06Speaker 2: Ritor Yacht last year but he was eligible, but he's
- 33:08Speaker 2: eligible this year. So yeah, there their experience in some areas,
- 33:14Speaker 2: and they're young in some areas, and their schedule is
- 33:18Speaker 2: freaking loaded.
- 33:19Speaker 3: I was gonna say this is the most loaded schedule
- 33:22Speaker 3: I've ever seen from a small school, yeah, in the area.
- 33:26Speaker 3: I mean, this is unbelievable.
- 33:28Speaker 1: And Luther North is their first game.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Luther North has had some pretty big time schedules in
- 33:33Speaker 2: the past, but I think this tops it.
- 33:35Speaker 3: It has to, Yeah, I mean, I don't know the
- 33:38Speaker 3: exact rankings of Saint James Academy and Millard South, but Millard.
- 33:43Speaker 1: South is pretty high up there.
- 33:45Speaker 2: They are a top one hundred team in the country, really,
- 33:49Speaker 2: and they have won consecutive They're the best team in
- 33:53Speaker 2: the Brass Oh was.
- 33:54Speaker 3: This the team that had that viral video because they
- 33:57Speaker 3: had like twenty five players signed to go play the
- 34:01Speaker 3: next levels.
- 34:03Speaker 2: I don't remember that exactly, but it was there was
- 34:05Speaker 2: a vida that.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Came out of a high school in Nebraska and they
- 34:07Speaker 3: had like that would be then then well over a
- 34:09Speaker 3: dozen seniors.
- 34:11Speaker 1: So this is so they have Luther North.
- 34:12Speaker 2: This met at Knoxville Catholic, who, by the way, Knoxville
- 34:15Speaker 2: Catholic according to the Max Preps if the page can
- 34:19Speaker 2: reload again, it was there Knoxville Catholic. They're one of
- 34:23Speaker 2: the best better teams in Tennessee. They finished fifteenth overall
- 34:28Speaker 2: according to Max Preps, and they went six and five.
- 34:31Speaker 1: But their strength of schedule that you can imagine is
- 34:32Speaker 1: really good.
- 34:33Speaker 2: They lost to Montgomery Bell thirteen to ten, who's one
- 34:34Speaker 2: of the best teams in Tennessee. And then they lost
- 34:37Speaker 2: to Baylor twice I think is a top five team
- 34:40Speaker 2: in Tennessee. Yeah, so that'll be that'll be tough. And
- 34:43Speaker 2: then Millard South arguably might be their toughest game. Who
- 34:47Speaker 2: are led by five star commit quarter not a commit, Yeah,
- 34:51Speaker 2: five star quarterback Trey Taylor who's committed to Nebraska. Taylor
- 34:56Speaker 2: transferred from He's from Chicago.
- 34:59Speaker 1: I forget what school if he went to.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I don't think it was Brother Rice he went to,
- 35:04Speaker 2: but anyway, he's from Chicago.
- 35:05Speaker 1: He committed the Nebraska.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Obviously his family one of them, I guess, relocated to
- 35:09Speaker 2: the Nebraska and they chose more at South. He's the
- 35:12Speaker 2: best school there. So Carter Rodarby will be going up
- 35:16Speaker 2: against a five star. It's a rare breed that you
- 35:18Speaker 2: don't see every day.
- 35:19Speaker 3: I'm gonna go and then fight for ceiling three and
- 35:23Speaker 3: six floor St.
- 35:24Speaker 2: James performance in Virginia. I think they're a relatively new school.
- 35:27Speaker 2: They went eight and one last year with their only
- 35:30Speaker 2: lost to Saint Francis Academy, who was one of the
- 35:32Speaker 2: best teams in the country. It's no shame in that,
- 35:35Speaker 2: and I think that they're not They're not at US.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I don't think they're a state affiliated school because they
- 35:38Speaker 2: only went.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Eight and one last year.
- 35:40Speaker 2: Interesting, yeah, but yeah, but they they beat up on
- 35:45Speaker 2: a lot of teams they played last year.
- 35:48Speaker 3: So hey, I hope ridd does the improbable runs the
- 35:52Speaker 3: table and that would be really cool to see.
- 35:54Speaker 1: I can't see that happening, but that would be This.
- 35:57Speaker 3: Schedule was just so loaded.
- 35:59Speaker 2: The Laborville Central I think should be a win for Ritter.
- 36:03Speaker 2: They I think they went to and seven last year,
- 36:04Speaker 2: so I think that's a it's a big school, but
- 36:08Speaker 2: I think Riders should win that. So yeah, I think
- 36:11Speaker 2: Riders got I think they beat Lutheran North de Smet's
- 36:14Speaker 2: gonna be tough.
- 36:15Speaker 1: That was a classic last.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that was shootout last year.
- 36:19Speaker 2: I think I think I think seven Knoxville at Knoxville
- 36:27Speaker 2: Catholic is gonna be tough. Millard South, I just I
- 36:31Speaker 2: don't see that happening at Saint James Performance, Virginia.
- 36:36Speaker 1: That would be a pretty good game. I think.
- 36:40Speaker 2: I just don't know him very well, but I think
- 36:41Speaker 2: that'll be a good game. At Naperville Central, I think
- 36:43Speaker 2: Ridder wins that. At Lift for Life, I think Riddard
- 36:48Speaker 2: I would favorite Ritter in that one right now CBC,
- 36:51Speaker 2: they host CBC. That'll be a great game for sure.
- 36:56Speaker 2: By the way, that Lyft for Life game, that's that's
- 36:58Speaker 2: a Saturday. So I think I know I know where
- 37:01Speaker 2: I'm gonna be at in week seven then and then
- 37:04Speaker 2: at Jackson, which.
- 37:06Speaker 3: I just you're gonna find your way down there, aren't you.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I will be down there.
- 37:10Speaker 2: That'll be that'll probably be my my Midwest game of
- 37:14Speaker 2: the week. So yeah, I think I will be down
- 37:16Speaker 2: there for that. So you said we said early, like
- 37:21Speaker 2: early in the summer. I think I said six and
- 37:23Speaker 2: three ceiling.
- 37:26Speaker 3: I'm gonna go five and four seling for Greens like four.
- 37:28Speaker 3: I'm sorry Rider, I did. This is just such a schedule.
- 37:31Speaker 3: I mean, this is even if this smetter CBC is
- 37:35Speaker 3: playing the schedule, I'd be.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Like, whoa, yeah, But like this for.
- 37:38Speaker 3: A small school to play the schedule is insane. Again,
- 37:43Speaker 3: I respect the heck out of it, but it's it's
- 37:45Speaker 3: so loaded.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I think Rider is as good as they really are,
- 37:50Speaker 2: is like they think they are.
- 37:52Speaker 1: I think seven and two ceiling.
- 37:55Speaker 3: But for me, I'll say Rider goes seven and two
- 37:58Speaker 3: of this schedule, including one over CBC, the best team
- 38:02Speaker 3: in the state.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Right up there, top five, I will say I'll stick
- 38:09Speaker 2: with the six and three ceiling. I think it's possible
- 38:13Speaker 2: they get one of the smet and CBC.
- 38:16Speaker 1: I think it's feasible.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I think if Lift for Life, if they lose the
- 38:22Speaker 2: Lyft for Life, I think that might say a little
- 38:23Speaker 2: bit more about Lyft for Life honestly than Ridder Jackson's
- 38:28Speaker 2: gonna be so tough, especially if they're fully healthy in
- 38:30Speaker 2: the pit and.
- 38:31Speaker 1: This and that.
- 38:32Speaker 2: That would be at the end of a season like
- 38:33Speaker 2: ridder By the way, Like who knows how healthy they're
- 38:37Speaker 2: gonna because that's a gauntlet. That'd be impressive if they
- 38:40Speaker 2: were able to stay healthy throughout the season and not
- 38:42Speaker 2: have anybody get hurt, because that's that's brutal who.
- 38:45Speaker 1: They're going up against.
- 38:49Speaker 2: So in that, in that regard, you hope they don't
- 38:51Speaker 2: overdo it because you don't want to see a whole
- 38:52Speaker 2: lot of guys get hurt or injured. But they typically
- 38:56Speaker 2: do a pretty good job of keeping guys healthy though, Like, yeah,
- 39:00Speaker 2: so they're four you said three and five or three
- 39:03Speaker 2: and six.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just again, that's the worst possible
- 39:07Speaker 3: case scenario.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think, I mean, they really don't
- 39:11Speaker 2: have an easy game here, Oh.
- 39:13Speaker 3: I mean don't there's no there's no guarantee.
- 39:15Speaker 1: I think.
- 39:15Speaker 2: I think, like honestly, I think they got like a
- 39:20Speaker 2: chance of beating Luther North, so I just don't see
- 39:21Speaker 2: him losing the game. Then I think they got like
- 39:23Speaker 2: a ninety five percent chance to beat in Aproville Central.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Other than that, there's really no easy game. There really
- 39:29Speaker 1: is not.
- 39:29Speaker 2: But I still think they'll get one or the other.
- 39:31Speaker 2: So I'll say it at worst case three and six
- 39:33Speaker 2: just because of how just tremendous their schedule is. Strictly
- 39:39Speaker 2: that nothing else. If this is a little bit more
- 39:43Speaker 2: of a higher powered like Ritter team like they had
- 39:45Speaker 2: a few years ago in like twenty twenty four, when
- 39:47Speaker 2: they like Carson Boyd, who could be the future Illinois
- 39:50Speaker 2: starting quarterback by the way, not this year, probably next year,
- 39:53Speaker 2: but like those guys, yeah, I would might this stuff
- 39:56Speaker 2: would be a little higher, but they're they're young in
- 39:58Speaker 2: some areas, and I'm not so sure.
- 40:00Speaker 1: About their D line and whatnot, and.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Just you know, I think the big thing for them is, like, dude,
- 40:05Speaker 2: that just not get bullied up front against physical teams,
- 40:08Speaker 2: because that's what we saw against Carthage last year. If
- 40:11Speaker 2: they can improve in those areas, and I think they
- 40:14Speaker 2: win a few more games there.
- 40:15Speaker 1: So all right, that's what we got.
- 40:17Speaker 2: Obviously, we're really excited about these guys because we spent
- 40:20Speaker 2: like geez, like ten minutes on them before we.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Head over the eventual league. Going to briefly go over
- 40:23Speaker 3: Saint dominic An interesting slate. Week one they host north Point.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Week two, they're at Marquette. Week three they're at Warrington.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Week before they host slew High. Week five are at Shamanad.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Week six they host Hannibal. Week seven they're at Borgia.
- 40:38Speaker 3: We eight they host and I C S and we
- 40:40Speaker 3: Can nine are at Westminster.
- 40:44Speaker 2: They're usually a physical team, but they lost and they
- 40:48Speaker 2: should have some they actually have like Coleman mrcian and
- 40:51Speaker 2: then Austin Ryan are two good receivers. So but they
- 40:57Speaker 2: they look they lost Brendan Schachine, the quarterback, who is
- 41:00Speaker 2: a really good three year starter for them.
- 41:02Speaker 3: I believe when they're I think his last tyson Grinder
- 41:07Speaker 3: pronounce his last name. I believe he comes back. He
- 41:10Speaker 3: really impressed me last year, especially on the defensive side
- 41:13Speaker 3: of the ball. Again, I'm pretty sure it comes back,
- 41:19Speaker 3: but I'm not sure. And so yeah, I mean that
- 41:22Speaker 3: they usually have a good lot of guys that you
- 41:25Speaker 3: know when you first you know because they weirdly enough,
- 41:29Speaker 3: they don't have the biggest roster, which is interesting because
- 41:31Speaker 3: they their their school is huge.
- 41:32Speaker 1: They have a good sized roster.
- 41:35Speaker 3: But I mean, for being the biggest code private school
- 41:37Speaker 3: in the state, you think you would have, you know,
- 41:38Speaker 3: like sixty five guys out there, which I'm not. I'm
- 41:41Speaker 3: not knocking the ball.
- 41:42Speaker 2: They have a great program, yes, but they don't have
- 41:45Speaker 2: but like, they don't have as many boys compared to
- 41:47Speaker 2: like the likes of you know, Shamanad to SMET and CBC. Though.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Yeah, they're big.
- 41:52Speaker 2: They're a big private school because they include both boys
- 41:54Speaker 2: and girls.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, anyway, Coach Marker does a fantastic job
- 41:59Speaker 3: over there, always making good decisions when it comes to
- 42:02Speaker 3: you know, play calling, rocks and moves. Losing Schachine is
- 42:05Speaker 3: gonna be tough because he was you know, you think
- 42:07Speaker 3: of him and Gabe Siria too. To the best passes,
- 42:10Speaker 3: they're easily Yeah, it's not even close. Yah sant Dominic history,
- 42:16Speaker 3: but yeah, this should it should be an interesting team
- 42:19Speaker 3: to follow. The north Point game should be very exciting, be.
- 42:21Speaker 1: A good way to start off.
- 42:24Speaker 3: It should be a great crowd there.
- 42:25Speaker 2: A St.
- 42:26Speaker 3: Dominic with north Point is gonna travel well because they're
- 42:29Speaker 3: it's a fifteen minute drive at most. I'm gonna go
- 42:36Speaker 3: a Hannibal game middle of the season. I love that. Yeah,
- 42:40Speaker 3: out of area team middle of the years wild I
- 42:43Speaker 3: mean again, but they're an independent teams, so it's easy
- 42:46Speaker 3: for Saint Dominic to schedule rushing teams like that. Sure,
- 42:51Speaker 3: this is funny because Saint Dominic's historical record at Borgia
- 42:58Speaker 3: for whatever reason, it's just no good. But they're really good.
- 43:02Speaker 3: They're really good at beating Borgia at home.
- 43:04Speaker 1: It's better recently, but historically Borgia his own.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Saint Dominic at Borgia, I should say.
- 43:09Speaker 3: Okay, St Dominic has not. I think Borgia in Washington
- 43:14Speaker 3: this century, they beat Borgia that sounds five times in
- 43:21Speaker 3: the past fifteen years. But that's all been at home.
- 43:23Speaker 3: So we'll see if that, uh, I think it changes
- 43:26Speaker 3: this year. We'll see. We'll see, we'll see if the
- 43:29Speaker 3: the Borgia Knight magic still lasts. Anyways, I'm gonna go
- 43:34Speaker 3: with a this is a tough schedule, that's really tought schedule.
- 43:38Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with a seven and two ceiling and
- 43:40Speaker 3: a four and five floor.
- 43:42Speaker 1: I got I agree with the ceiling. I think Yeah.
- 43:51Speaker 3: I think they're gonna have good speed on their O
- 43:54Speaker 3: line when it comes to, you know, pulling and getting
- 43:56Speaker 3: second level. That's why I like them having a good year.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Yeah, that Marquette game won't be easy.
- 44:03Speaker 1: I will say five and four flour all right.
- 44:08Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go over to the couple of Metro League teams.
- 44:14Speaker 3: We'll go to Lutheran North. First week one, as we
- 44:18Speaker 3: already mentioned, they are at Cardinal Ritter. Week two, Lutheran
- 44:21Speaker 3: North hosts Blair Oaks. That should be an interesting game,
- 44:25Speaker 3: very much. Week three they're at Lincoln Way Central up
- 44:28Speaker 3: there in New Lenox, Illinois, up there in the Chicago area.
- 44:31Speaker 3: Really okay, and the week four they host Burrows. Week
- 44:35Speaker 3: five they're at Lutheran South. Week six they host Westminster.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Week seven they're at m I c S. Week eight
- 44:42Speaker 3: they have a bye week and then week nine they're
- 44:44Speaker 3: at de smet So another very loaded schedule. I mean,
- 44:48Speaker 3: I really only see there's three guinea games, which is
- 44:52Speaker 3: John Burrows, Lufman South and Westminster and then m I
- 44:56Speaker 3: c S. They've they're they're a weird team to me,
- 45:00Speaker 3: to be totally honest. I mean they have athletes. But yes,
- 45:04Speaker 3: four years ago, five.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Years ago, even a few years ago, the twenty twenty
- 45:08Speaker 2: four is the best team ever had.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Along from that, I would favor luther North in that
- 45:12Speaker 3: game right now. So there's four all right, So yeah,
- 45:15Speaker 3: Cardinal Ruderby one as going to be tough. Blair Oaks
- 45:19Speaker 3: they won't stay last year.
- 45:21Speaker 1: They're not as low. They are definitely not the same
- 45:23Speaker 1: blair Oaks teams.
- 45:24Speaker 2: I got to see them a week ago and at
- 45:26Speaker 2: blair Oaks in a joint scrimmage. Not the same team
- 45:29Speaker 2: but extremely well coached and more reliant on the run.
- 45:32Speaker 2: But I think I think blair Oaks still gets it
- 45:35Speaker 2: done against luther North. I saw Lutheran North about two
- 45:39Speaker 2: weeks ago now and a pretty competitive joint scrimmage with Ladoo,
- 45:44Speaker 2: Pattonville and McClure, and I thought Luthor North was easily
- 45:48Speaker 2: kind of the third best team. They're still good competition,
- 45:50Speaker 2: Like they're not bad by any means, but just they're
- 45:52Speaker 2: just different.
- 45:55Speaker 1: That really not as good as they used to be.
- 45:56Speaker 2: But I think they're improved from last year because they
- 45:58Speaker 2: were really young and especially upfront. I know that.
- 46:02Speaker 3: Lincoln Way East is really good. I don't know about
- 46:04Speaker 3: lincoln Way Central. I think they're just okay.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Typically lincoln Way West has gotten good, but yeah, I
- 46:11Speaker 2: don't hear a whole lot about.
- 46:12Speaker 1: Lincoln Way Central.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Okay, so they're a big school though, Okay, Yeah, and
- 46:16Speaker 3: then a bi week before de SMET I think really
- 46:18Speaker 3: helps out. It should be good for them that I
- 46:20Speaker 3: should be a good little extra scouting. Yeah, I'm gonna
- 46:23Speaker 3: go with let's see, I'll go with a m hmm,
- 46:29Speaker 3: I'll go with a five and three. No, I'll go
- 46:38Speaker 3: with a six and two ceiling, and I'll go with
- 46:41Speaker 3: the three and five floor.
- 46:42Speaker 2: I got a five and three ceiling and then a
- 46:44Speaker 2: three and five floor, Okay or yeah, yeah, I uh yes,
- 46:50Speaker 2: now that's up.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Right.
- 46:53Speaker 3: I just I think m I CDs is the only
- 46:56Speaker 3: a Metro League team will discuss, Yes, their schedule up
- 46:59Speaker 3: there somewhere, Yeah, EXCEP for somewhere.
- 47:00Speaker 1: I'm getting through it.
- 47:01Speaker 3: They had an incomplete schedule on Mischa.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Yeah, trying to find a full one.
- 47:06Speaker 1: I should have it.
- 47:07Speaker 3: I think it might be one of the more earlier ones. Okay,
- 47:09Speaker 3: I found it all right. Week one okay, So the
- 47:12Speaker 3: MSCs Parkway North for Jamburee.
- 47:14Speaker 2: I'm glad they're doing that. I'll be able to be there, yes, And.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Then week one they are at LaDue. So the War
- 47:20Speaker 3: on Wars in Week one. That's gonna be a ton
- 47:22Speaker 3: of fun.
- 47:22Speaker 2: First regular season game we'll do an MSc has have
- 47:25Speaker 2: played against each other since twenty eleven.
- 47:27Speaker 3: That should be a yearly. Think it's too bad to him,
- 47:29Speaker 3: it'll be next it is, they will have it.
- 47:32Speaker 1: It'll be at least a two year thing, and.
- 47:34Speaker 3: It'll be two throwing the road at rich What Richmond
- 47:38Speaker 3: up there in the Kansas City area. Richmond always has
- 47:41Speaker 3: great athletes. Richmond, for whatever, Richmond is a track powerhouse.
- 47:46Speaker 3: So we'll see if that transit the football field. Not
- 47:48Speaker 3: only huge, too much for them football wise. There are
- 47:51Speaker 3: Class three teams.
- 47:52Speaker 1: They beat John Burrough.
- 47:53Speaker 2: They beat John Burrows in the Class three state championship
- 47:55Speaker 2: in twenty ten.
- 47:56Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so they're a pretty football team.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Yes.
- 47:59Speaker 3: We three is their first home game against Lutheran South.
- 48:02Speaker 3: Week four on the road inst Westminster. Week five are
- 48:05Speaker 3: on the road at John Burrows. Week six they host Priory.
- 48:08Speaker 3: Week seven, they host Lutheran North. Week eighth they're at
- 48:11Speaker 3: day Nominic and then week nine are at jeff City.
- 48:14Speaker 3: It's a very unique schedule.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Here, definitely not what we're used to seeing with them.
- 48:18Speaker 1: My CDs.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Yeah, they got question marks all over the place.
- 48:22Speaker 1: I mean, they.
- 48:24Speaker 3: They they've they've had they've done good at bringing in talent,
- 48:30Speaker 3: but it's getting got a little shaky. The past few years.
- 48:33Speaker 2: I think it's been fine, but it's just like with
- 48:35Speaker 2: the there we finally got to. They had a really
- 48:39Speaker 2: good senior class of talent last year, but it's just there.
- 48:43Speaker 2: They're recent classes coming up, just there's not a whole
- 48:47Speaker 2: lot of prospects compared to what they usually had, Like
- 48:50Speaker 2: they don't and and they do have one d one prospect,
- 48:54Speaker 2: Nick Weaver, who's Gabe Weaver's younger brother, who's at Minnesota
- 48:57Speaker 2: as a tight end. Like he Nick is, uh, he's
- 49:00Speaker 2: a receiver and I think he plays some defensive back
- 49:03Speaker 2: as well.
- 49:03Speaker 1: But he's six'.
- 49:04Speaker 2: Four he's a kind of unheard of because he hasn't
- 49:07Speaker 2: he's hardly played any, much but he played a little
- 49:09Speaker 2: bit last year and he'll be a guy who he's
- 49:12Speaker 2: PROBABLY i mean on, paper he's their number one receiver mm,
- 49:14Speaker 2: hm because he's got he's got a few offers now
- 49:16Speaker 2: he's gotten off From. Colorado but now they got they
- 49:21Speaker 2: Got they returned some role players last, year but they
- 49:24Speaker 2: graduated almost all of their key players from a year.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Ago like probably their best returning starter Is Justin, bishop
- 49:31Speaker 2: who is their running. Back he rushed FOR i think
- 49:34Speaker 2: just shy of a thousand. Yards he didn't play in every,
- 49:36Speaker 2: game SO i think if he did play in every,
- 49:37Speaker 2: game he would have gotten a thousand. Yards it's based
- 49:39Speaker 2: on his. Average, yeah but they. Lose they returned about
- 49:44Speaker 2: three stars in their. Secondary they Lost Graham, faust who's
- 49:47Speaker 2: by far their best, guy who's by far their best
- 49:49Speaker 2: arguably the best defensive player, overall next To Ben, peterson
- 49:52Speaker 2: who is one of their all time leading sack, leaders
- 49:54Speaker 2: if not their highest sack of leader of all.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Time that he's, Graduated Miles coleman's, graduated are their best
- 50:00Speaker 1: player on? Defense is gonna be a Sophomore Mason.
- 50:02Speaker 2: Coleman he was believe third on their team in tackles last,
- 50:05Speaker 2: season and SO i think he's got a bright future
- 50:07Speaker 2: ahead of. Him but lot's gonna be asked of him
- 50:09Speaker 2: as a middle linebacker if that's if that's what he's still,
- 50:12Speaker 2: playing a lot of questions on their defensive, line a
- 50:15Speaker 2: lot of questions in their offensive, line, honestly because they
- 50:18Speaker 2: lost three starters on on their front, line and then
- 50:21Speaker 2: they lost a lot of guys in their front. Seven
- 50:24Speaker 2: they lost all their linebackers Besides Mason coleman and.
- 50:28Speaker 1: And some other.
- 50:28Speaker 2: Guys so they're asking a lot of guys FROM jv
- 50:31Speaker 2: to step up and play and guys who barely played
- 50:33Speaker 2: it or hardly ever played or didn't even play at
- 50:35Speaker 2: all last year to be starters in some. Positions so
- 50:37Speaker 2: that's that's where there's a lot of question. Marks and
- 50:40Speaker 2: like they went five and five last. YEAR i thought
- 50:43Speaker 2: they were one of the most underachieving teams of just
- 50:45Speaker 2: based on their talent that they had last, year, Honestly
- 50:48Speaker 2: but they, THINK i, mean well really just their players
- 50:54Speaker 2: think they're gonna be pretty, good but they're just gonna
- 50:58Speaker 2: have to go and improve it because there's a lot
- 50:59Speaker 2: that suggest they're not gonna be very.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Good BUT i.
- 51:03Speaker 2: Can't you can't fault for any of these guys for,
- 51:05Speaker 2: believing because that's what you, know this is what we
- 51:06Speaker 2: do for, everything, Really but, uh they have a lot
- 51:09Speaker 2: to prove if they if they really think they're as
- 51:11Speaker 2: good as like Someone i've heard, there they're gonna they
- 51:12Speaker 2: have a lot to. Prove, so but, uh they're under
- 51:16Speaker 2: a new head, Coach Jason. Thomas he's from The East.
- 51:20Speaker 2: Coast he's A New england. Guy he's had success where
- 51:23Speaker 2: he's coached in the, past but it's definitely gonna be
- 51:26Speaker 2: different with him coming Into. Missouri It's i'd like to
- 51:29Speaker 2: Think missouri is a bet is is it like compared
- 51:32Speaker 2: to Like Vermont New hampshire, Whatever BUT i would Think
- 51:35Speaker 2: missouri is a little bit more. Competitive but he's certainly
- 51:37Speaker 2: he's been really successful where he's. Been so if that
- 51:39Speaker 2: can translate from MY, CDs they're they're in pretty good
- 51:41Speaker 2: hands right. Here this is the weakest schedule they've HAD
- 51:44Speaker 2: i Think i've ever seen them. HAVE i gotta be,
- 51:47Speaker 2: Honest i'm gonna go with because The Metro league is
- 51:50Speaker 2: not what it used to, be not at, all and
- 51:51Speaker 2: their non conference schedule like not THAT i, mean they're
- 51:55Speaker 2: non conference schedules not the worst that That i've, seen
- 51:58Speaker 2: but it's just compared like they're coming off of playing
- 52:01Speaker 2: Like lift For life and de smet to Playing ladoo
- 52:05Speaker 2: And richmond and then Jeff city And Saint.
- 52:07Speaker 3: Dominic, Yeah i'm gonna go with a three and six
- 52:13Speaker 3: floor and a five and four. Ceiling so here's the.
- 52:17Speaker 2: THING i actually think they can if they are if
- 52:20Speaker 2: they can improve, enough because like they're, again like so
- 52:23Speaker 2: many of their guys are gonna have to improve in
- 52:25Speaker 2: order for this to, happen AND i just haven't seen it,
- 52:28Speaker 2: yet which is Why i'm looking forward to their Jan
- 52:29Speaker 2: brie when they At Parkway, north just to see who
- 52:32Speaker 2: they really, are because, like you, know they look good
- 52:36Speaker 2: on seven and. Seven you, KNOW i forgot to Mention
- 52:39Speaker 2: no In, maneka he's he'll be their starting.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Quarterback he's, experienced.
- 52:45Speaker 2: Like he kind of like he had some promises sophomore,
- 52:48Speaker 2: year kind of a mixed bag last, year but now
- 52:50Speaker 2: he'll be ready for a senior year and he's had
- 52:51Speaker 2: to learn three, offenses so he's you would like to
- 52:55Speaker 2: think he's versatile and you, know just knowing how to
- 52:57Speaker 2: handle the moment and. Whatnot so but, yeah still a
- 53:01Speaker 2: lot of question marks we're regarding that. Too SO i
- 53:05Speaker 2: THINK i agree with you on that. Floor i'll, say,
- 53:09Speaker 2: like if things go, Right i'll say six and, three
- 53:12Speaker 2: six and, three like, realistically six and three, ceiling.
- 53:18Speaker 1: You know, What i'll say seven and two.
- 53:20Speaker 2: Ceiling LIKE i, think you, KNOW i think you, know
- 53:24Speaker 2: who knows what's gonna happen With Luther, North but LIKE
- 53:26Speaker 2: i feel pretty good About LaDou And Saint dominic so
- 53:29Speaker 2: besides those, GAMES i THINK M I CDs can go
- 53:33Speaker 2: seven to two and they're gonna go in The class,
- 53:35Speaker 2: three so and actually might have a rematch with The
- 53:39Speaker 2: Luther north potentially IF i think there's a good chance
- 53:41Speaker 2: both if because both those teams will be In class
- 53:45Speaker 2: three and SO i think there's a good chance that
- 53:46Speaker 2: we see both of them. There but, UH i, KNOW
- 53:50Speaker 2: i know a. LOT M I CDs is really hyphed
- 53:52Speaker 2: for That lado game because IF i, mean and rightfully,
- 53:55Speaker 2: so because it's a rivalry game and like they want
- 53:57Speaker 2: to get revenge from last. Year but more, importantly if
- 53:59Speaker 2: they can beat lad that will set like a huge
- 54:01Speaker 2: tone for the rest of their. Season if they can
- 54:03Speaker 2: beat With. Doo so, yeah looking forward to. That and
- 54:07Speaker 2: we'll have a camera for That Warren worson. GAME i
- 54:09Speaker 2: won't be, there but we'll have a camera there all.
- 54:13Speaker 3: Right, last but definitely not at, least let's head over
- 54:15Speaker 3: to The Metro east and let's start with everyone's, favorite
- 54:20Speaker 3: the team that has an electric schedule every single, year
- 54:24Speaker 3: The East Louis. Flyers, NOW i, think and so also
- 54:31Speaker 3: for those who are not, Aware illinois shifted their schedule
- 54:34Speaker 3: up a week so The Illinoi's week one will be
- 54:37Speaker 3: Before Missouri's week, One So Illinois week one will be
- 54:41Speaker 3: The august twenty first and twenty second. Weekend, yeah So
- 54:45Speaker 3: Missouri jambree. Weekend just for those who are not. Aware
- 54:49Speaker 3: AND i think this Eastingt Lewis week one game one
- 54:54Speaker 3: of the games of the. Year this could go down
- 54:56Speaker 3: as one of the Greatest week one games we've ever
- 54:58Speaker 3: seen In, illinois just given the hype coming into, it
- 55:01Speaker 3: the teams that are coming into.
- 55:02Speaker 1: It East.
- 55:03Speaker 3: St louis Versus Mount carnwall At Illinois state In week.
- 55:07Speaker 1: One quite possibly the two best teams in all the,
- 55:09Speaker 1: state of the two.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Best programs ever In illinowois large school, sessions AND.
- 55:14Speaker 1: I think talent for, talent these are the two most
- 55:17Speaker 1: talented teams In. ILLINOIS i really think.
- 55:19Speaker 2: So and our top twenty Five midwest rankings will bear that.
- 55:23Speaker 3: Up so that should be that should be an unbelievable
- 55:27Speaker 3: game to go. See week, two they're At American heritage
- 55:31Speaker 3: down there In South. Florida American heritage is one of
- 55:33Speaker 3: the best teams In miami year in year route And
- 55:35Speaker 3: South florida is one of the best football areas in the.
- 55:38Speaker 3: Country has been for like since the, eighties And American,
- 55:41Speaker 3: HERITAGE i believe is a top twenty nationally ranked.
- 55:44Speaker 2: Team they're really really good and it's gonna be part
- 55:47Speaker 2: of like a so they're gonna be playing that In Fort.
- 55:49Speaker 2: Lauderdale it's part of a like a like a show school.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Showcase but, YEAH i think they're gonna do on Like
- 55:54Speaker 2: friday And. Saturday i'd love to go to, there but
- 55:57Speaker 2: it's just too.
- 55:57Speaker 3: Far it's a long. Flight. Yeah And week three they Host,
- 56:01Speaker 3: Gainesville georgia The.
- 56:02Speaker 2: Red elephants, yep and the Better gainesville, too by the, Way.
- 56:07Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely and then and then they get into their conference.
- 56:10Speaker 1: Slate by the, Way gainesville finished the season last year
- 56:15Speaker 1: was the sixth best team In.
- 56:16Speaker 2: Georgia, wow finished twelve and three nationally ranked forty one
- 56:20Speaker 2: and lost in the playoffs at some.
- 56:23Speaker 1: Point but but you get. It they really.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Great they made a DEEP i think that was the
- 56:27Speaker 2: state championship game because that was played On december. Seventeen. Yeah,
- 56:32Speaker 2: yeah fifteen games, too so, yeah, seriously, yeah either the
- 56:36Speaker 2: semi finals or the championship. Game.
- 56:37Speaker 3: Yeah week, four Easton lewis hosts O Fallon week five
- 56:42Speaker 3: they Host. Billville East week sixth At, edwardsville week At Bilbo,
- 56:46Speaker 3: West week eight they Host, olden and then week nine
- 56:49Speaker 3: are At Apriville.
- 56:50Speaker 1: NORTH i expect them to win that. GAME i got
- 56:54Speaker 1: my floor ceiling.
- 56:55Speaker 2: Ready so their first three games are gonna be that's
- 56:58Speaker 2: the that's the toughest.
- 56:59Speaker 3: It is and that that THAT i mean when you
- 57:00Speaker 3: think about, it and we have this discussion every year
- 57:03Speaker 3: Via Saint, LOUIS i feel good that this discussion last
- 57:07Speaker 3: year when it was, like oh my, gosh they Played Burgen,
- 57:10Speaker 3: catholic Then Gadsden county And Bishop. Gormon that guy was
- 57:12Speaker 3: the toughest three game stretches started season. Ever but Then
- 57:16Speaker 3: Gasden county had to fourfit the. Game, yeah so that
- 57:19Speaker 3: kind of got the flated a little.
- 57:21Speaker 1: BIT i think this is arguably harder this.
- 57:23Speaker 3: Year, Yeah i'm assuming none of those teams. Forfeit in
- 57:30Speaker 3: twenty twenty, three they also had a pretty crazy first
- 57:33Speaker 3: three games to start the year when they Played Mount
- 57:35Speaker 3: cromewell In week one Of Illinois, state which was just this,
- 57:38Speaker 3: game and then they Beat Saint francis From. Baltimore year.
- 57:41Speaker 1: Before Saint francis was really really.
- 57:42Speaker 2: GOOD i mean they were really, good but like like
- 57:45Speaker 2: top ten good in the.
- 57:46Speaker 1: Country they. Weren't they were not quite there yet.
- 57:47Speaker 2: At the point of.
- 57:48Speaker 3: Time and then they Played humble out Of, casita which
- 57:52Speaker 3: is A texas team out Of.
- 57:53Speaker 1: Casita that's it's they're just In, Humble. Texas.
- 57:55Speaker 3: Yeah they've had some other pretty crazy starts to the
- 58:01Speaker 3: season first three, Games like they Played Saint John bosco
- 58:05Speaker 3: back in twenty twenty.
- 58:06Speaker 2: One that was like they were losing thirty five nothing
- 58:08Speaker 2: in that game and then like had a huge, comeback
- 58:10Speaker 2: got REALLY i think they got to within a score
- 58:12Speaker 2: and then, Yeah bosco ran away with that in the,
- 58:14Speaker 2: end and that was that was The Luther burden.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Year yeah For Saint.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Louis, yeah that that's really is it that like twenty
- 58:23Speaker 2: twenty one when it really twenty one when.
- 58:25Speaker 3: They started really playing those out of area teams because
- 58:27Speaker 3: they've been Playing chicago teams.
- 58:29Speaker 2: For a, while which interest and by out of area
- 58:32Speaker 2: like out of state, teams, yeah because they just technically
- 58:36Speaker 2: out of, area but the still in.
- 58:37Speaker 1: State.
- 58:38Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it's even just looking back like ten years,
- 58:41Speaker 2: ago it doesn't even compare to who what type of schedule.
- 58:43Speaker 3: They have, Now, yeah not at. All so this this
- 58:45Speaker 3: should be one of the most fun starts with the
- 58:46Speaker 3: year they've had a. While for this their, Ceiling i'm
- 58:49Speaker 3: gonna go seven and. Two, no, Yeah i'm gonna go
- 58:55Speaker 3: seven to. Two and for the, Floor i'm gonna go.
- 59:00Speaker 1: Six and.
- 59:00Speaker 3: THREE i, AGREE i, AGREE i. AGREE i just don't
- 59:03Speaker 3: see them losing a game past week. Three, YEAH i,
- 59:06Speaker 3: mean but from from week four to championship, weekend they
- 59:11Speaker 3: should not lose a.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Game arguably a top five team In Georgia american, HERITAGE
- 59:16Speaker 2: i could check them.
- 59:17Speaker 1: OUT i, MEAN i think they're obviously really.
- 59:19Speaker 2: Good and Then Mount carmel they're a top fifty team
- 59:23Speaker 2: in the country and they like by the, way they
- 59:26Speaker 2: got two four star, receivers AND.
- 59:30Speaker 1: I know they've had a hell of a quarterback.
- 59:32Speaker 2: Battle they have like a four way quarterback battle this. Offense, Yeah.
- 59:37Speaker 3: Jordan lynch is your. COACH i, Mean i'm assuming any
- 59:39Speaker 3: GOOD qb would want to go.
- 59:40Speaker 1: There they Need i've Studied Mount.
- 59:43Speaker 2: Carmel they need to have a dual threat quarterback in
- 59:45Speaker 2: order for their offense to, work and he needs to.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Throw so if they can find a guy who can do,
- 59:50Speaker 1: that they'll be really tough to.
- 59:52Speaker 2: Stop but, yeah can can their, defense you, know step
- 59:58Speaker 2: up to the, plate WHICH i think they, Can. Carmel, so.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: What's american heritage look? Like american.
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: Heritage they're out Of miami and they're really really.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Good, Plantation. Florida, yeah That's miami.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: Area, yeah, okay, yeah this they already look really really
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: good right, now just they're the fact that they're based In.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Miami, sorry, guys one. SECOND i like their, mascot by the,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: way The American heriage Of. Patriots.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: Yeah so they finished the season, tenth ranked tenth In
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: florida last year and ranked ninety fourth in the, country
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: went nine and won state. Championship, yeah and their losses
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: was a seven point loss Of Saint Thomas. Aquinas it's
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: pretty darn Good archbishop. McCarthy but thirteen to, ten who's,
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: uh they're a pretty good team For florida.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: Too so, yeah they're they're their losses are just some.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: Really really good team shaman A madonna and then Ed,
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: nacarr who's the best program in In.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Louisiana sean all close.
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: Games madonna and Also Thomas aquinas are here and you're
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: out to the best teams In florida.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: And they're one of their other losses was a ten
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: point loss To Central High school In, miami Which central
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: is one of the best programs in the, country and
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: it was a ten point.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: Loss so, YEAH i Think Easton lewis can beat them for.
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: Sure it's just going to be a. Fight it's gonna
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: be a it's gonna be a.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: WAR i, mean his historically they have not fared well
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Against southern, teams but they've.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: And they've also not historically farewell Against Mount.
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Carmel BUT i think THAT'S i think that if out
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: of those those three, GAMES i think that's their best
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: shot to get A.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: Winst lewis at least since they've started Playing Mount carmel
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: in the. Past they put him three, TIMES i think
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: THEY i.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: Think they played him in some state games and.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: Lost they've all been close. Games Mount carmel's got the
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: edge every.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Time, yeah so.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Be a heck of it should.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: Be it should be very fun.

- 1:02:56Speaker 3: real close the past four. Years but Close panosa Gar,
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: yeah and then they Played. Grants they Host Grant city
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: of week, five they Host East Lewis week, six they
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: host o foul in week seven Out Bobo west week
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: At collinsville week nine and it was kind of uh
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: just hot and cooling. Offense last year they would have
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: some really great, games they would have some games where
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: it's like they can't complete the. Pass what's going? On
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: so hopefully they can bring back some experience in the
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: offensive line and quarterback to where they.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: Can they graduated, graduated he was a pretty good quarterback for.
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: Them would Would Dean williams be THEIR?
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Qb? THEN i, think, so, okay you got some, reps
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: which is.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: Important they JUST i feel like they just need a
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: good Like Bell cole running back because last year they
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: kind of running back by they couldn't get a guy.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: Going they have, DEFINITELY i Mean Justin Johnson junior was
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: obviously it was going to be a very tough act to,
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: follow and they've not had a running back like him.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: Since but that they have not had a they have
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: not had A Bell call running back since he, graduated
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: even someone who is just pretty.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: Good, yeah, Yeah i'm.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: Gonna i'm gonna go six and three ceiling and four
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: and five.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: FLOOR i agree with the six and three. CEILING i
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: agree with that floor.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: TOO i think you, know they, yes they could feasibly
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: lose the belly least, MAYBE i, mean they could start
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: out zero to, four they. Could the rest of the
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: games are pretty, winnable, though you know, What i'll, say
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: five and four they'll make the playoffs because oh that's,
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: Right i'm that. There, yeah so four and, Five, yeah
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: give me a four and five floor and they'll still
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: make the playoffs, though because of the the. Playoffs the Life, Champion,
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: yeah the participation trophy mindset?
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Stupid, yeah all?
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: Right next To Bill Bill. East week, one they got
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: Lincoln Way west at home to the Host. Peakin week,

- 1:04:57Speaker 3: five are At East. Louis week six they Hosts Belvo.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: West week seven they Host collinsville eighth or out of
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: found we can neither at THE scoota very interesting schedule here,
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: again Lincoln Way, WEST i believe Lincoln Way east is
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: the better of the lincoln was Lincoln Way east is
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: the go to the Lincoln way. School, yeah this has
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: to be the first podcast episode where we've mentioned all
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: three Lincoln way. Schools all, right and Then. PEAKIN i
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: feel like I've i've heard Of peakin. BEFORE i feel
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: like They've i've just heard the name come up in
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: the decent. PROGRAMS A Western illinois. Team, okay it's up.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: There it's it's a little northernly but it's BELOW i eighty,
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: okay but, yeah it's a small, town small big town
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: kind of. Thing But beverly's is TYPICALLY i don't think
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: they've ever lost To. Peaking they they played each other
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: last handful of. Year oh, no they've lost a few,
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: games but they are currently on three game winning.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: Streak usually pre competitive.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: Games so, yeah.
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: That's.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: True so.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Have they Played Lincoln Way west?
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: Recently the last they beat him three years?
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Ago, okay and but that was when. Interesting that was
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: When beverly's had a pretty good.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: Team, yeah well they, Were they've been good for the
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: past few, years but, yeah that was there was their
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: team that was their, peak their Team.
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: Peking uh there that team shooty twenty three that was
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: really talented that like they have not been able to
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: match that since. Then, yeah so, YEAH i, mean but
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: that's that's that's a large. School that one of my football,
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: though any a lot of things can go different.
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: Ways let's, see let's go with A i think they
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: beat all Tof i'm gonna go with the seven and two.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Ceiling And i'm also gonna go with A i'll go
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: to five and four.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: FLOOR i agree with you. Again, yeah, YEAH i LIKE
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: i like that.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: THERE i think they had to have what's unfortunately a
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: competitive but easier than what's out of. Conference.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Yeah but what's unfortunate is like The Southwestern conference has
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: gotten so like top, heavy where it's like you Have
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: East Saint louis and Then Arizona bele's who it always
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: wins that.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: Game but similar to the, talent they're still good, teams similar,
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: teams but then the rest is just a crap.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: Shoot. Yeah, yeah and then and Then Moscuito beville should Beat.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: Mosquito, yeah all, right because we Mentioned Beville, east we
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: have to Mention Bubble West. Fair week one they Host
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: alton to the Host Mount. Vernon wee, three they're At,
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: Marion week, four they Host. Moscuito week, five are at.

- 1:07:33Speaker 3: they're At triad so full on Mester reist and so
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: they don't oise schedule.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Here it's a big time seting The illinois.
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: Schedule, YEAH i mean they were okay last year they
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: were four and.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: Five that'll be good enough to get them in the
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: playoffs this time, Though.
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: Yeah, SO i mean they. Don't They're the thing is
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: IT'S i, mean last year they got a couple of
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: free wins Playing normandy And alton and all.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: Think alton thinks they're gonna be better this.
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: Year Beilbo weston's playing this, Year so they play them
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: right there in week?
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: One oh they.
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: Do, sorry, YEAH i was confused because they're not in
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: their conference. Anymore that's that was kind of confusing to. Me.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah well you say it's technically still in the same,
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: conference but not not in THE i THINK i would
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: Imagine bebo west is in the Gold.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Conference there's The Golden, blacks.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: RIGHT i forgot they changed because there's.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: Twelve there's twelve, teams and so they're doing two conferences of.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: Six that's. Right, Okay, yeah So i'll do the same,
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: thing you know.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: What i'm gonna go With Mount, vernon by the, way they,
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: lost they lost their best running back To Saint.
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: Tralia i'll go with the five and four ceiling and
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: a two and seven.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: Floor i'll go with the six and three ceiling and
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: uh three and six, four all, right BECAUSE i think they.
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: CAN i think they can start five and oh and
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: then beat. Tried, yeah all, right let's go To.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: Allen this, honestly outside Of East, louis who obviously has
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: the really interesting out of conference, SCHEDULE i THINK O
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: fallen has the second most intriguing out of conference schedule
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: in The Southwest. Conference week one they Host. Quincy you,
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: love that should be.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: Interesting they play they're they're almost an honorary member of
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: THE Gac.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: South.
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: Yeah well, yeah because then week two they're At Francis.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: Howell week three they Host Troy. Buchanan week four At East.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Louis week five they Host Belva, West week six they Host.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: Triad week seven they're At, Edwardsville week eight they Host Belville,
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: east and then week nine are At. Alton so really
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: interesting mix of teams. HERE i Believe quincy is a
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: typical you, know six and, three seven and two in class.
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: SEVEN i, think, yes, okay, yeah so they usually a
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: pretty good program up there From Western, illinalwis you know
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: with the folon, THOUGH i mean past three year have
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: been a little. Rough so they took us to four last,
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: year they took a top four for, sure but, yeah
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: but you, know definitely it's.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: Good they're.
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: Improving, yeah they're they're they're, definitely they're they're they're getting.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: Better they had actually a pretty close game In Saint
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: mary's last, year which was. GOOD i mean even The,
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: yeah they, were they. WERE i think that they were
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: just young last. Year they're young and inconsistent last.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: Year, yeah So i'm gonna go with a hopefully the older.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: Too.
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: Yeah they went four and five last. Year i'll go
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: to five and four ceiling this year And i'll go
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: with three and six.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: Four where are those wins?
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Come SO i guess, yeah but like you, know they
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: got Hal Troy, East Saint Louis Edwards belle And Beverle.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: East and do you think they win one of those?
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: Games what's the most likely team be least probably franc Really,
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: OKAY i Mean i'll SAY.
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: I don't, KNOW i don't, know ACTUALLY i know the.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: Others just to be, Nice i'll say five and four
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: ceiling and then three and six four BECAUSE i still

- 1:12:31Speaker 3: KANSAS i think they got.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: THEM i Think kansas is not a good football.
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: State this is the second Schedule i've seen that says
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: At lyft For. Life that is impossible unless they're playing At, Melville,
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: yeah which could be which could be, happening sure so
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: or The Edward jones Down we'll just would be sick what. Happens,
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: yes we'll just say Versus lyft For life in week,
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: six that should be a tough, one tough. Game week
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: seven is their senior. Night they Host. Pacific week, eight managable.
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: Game Oh Sat mary's to? Play, okay they Made De
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: smet their homecoming game in the. Gate that is so,
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: bold that's. Ballsy and then Nine week nine the host Rock.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: Bridge tough, GAME a very tough. Game this is a
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: very very competitive guys Over Saint. Mary's but again this
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: is a final fourteenth From class four last year THAT
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: i think they they find a way that it seems
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: Like Saint, mary's even through all their their off the
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: field school, issues we're glad they from a few years.
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: AGO i, mean it looks like they've recovered very, well
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: which is. Great, YEAH i, think but they just they
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: just keep finding a way to stick around and stay.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: GOOD i think they have one of the best defenses
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: in the. Area they returned a lot on, defense AND
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: i was impressed by their defense last. Year, yeah, OFFENSIVELY
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: i like they're gonna have a If i'm not, mistaken
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: they're gonna have a freshman started, quarterback which is Just
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: i'm not saying it's a bad, thing but it's if
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: you're if you're like a consider yourself a serious contender
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: when a state, championship that's a red flag because it's
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: SO i don't Think i've ever seen a team with
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: a freshman quarterback win a state, championship just based on,
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: History that's All i'm, saying because it's JUST i don't
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: know if that's ever happened. Before in MY CDs almost
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: did it With Reagan andrew and that is the only
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: EXAMPLE i have that's.
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: Close, YEAH i mean, It so they Graduate Kingston miles
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: to rushed over two thousand.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: Yards, no he's still. Here he's still, here thought last.
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: Year, no, no, no, No well there you, Go Kingston
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: miles is back for same. Area that's.
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: Yes so, NO i think he's going to be the
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: obviously the book a point of their.
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: Offense no.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Dub but he need he needs to rush for at
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: least one hundred yards every.
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: GAME i thought he was a. Senior BUT i thought
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: he was a. Senior that's great for.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: THAT i mean he looked like a senior last.
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: YEAR i was gonna say he just the way he
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: carried the.
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: Ball he was Just he's single handedly Beat Parkway north
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: in the quarterfinals last. Year, yeah which is also why
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: it's like he was when it came down to. It
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: he was their only, offense their only source of. Offense
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: and if that's the same case. Again with the schedule they,
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: HAVE i have some concerns because really good teams are
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: gonna eventually they're gonna limit that and force them and
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: For Saint mary's to beat them through the air or
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: with other.
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: Options so this is a very tough. Schedule i'm gonna
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: go with a they could start out and five and.
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: Four i'll take them Beating Hayden. Catholic i'll take them Beating.
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: Pacific i'll take them beating Rock. BRIDGE i think there
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: was the three THAT i would pick them to. Win
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: So i'm gonna go.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: They could be FASTUST i think they.
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: Can, Okay SO i got them with a three and
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: sixth floor and a six and three.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: CEILING i got six and three. Floor sorry sorry.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Ceiling SEE i was, Like roman just looked at me
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: LIKE i committed.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: A crime that would be.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah and THEN i GOT i.
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: Mean geez like feasibly, speaking like for things that go,
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: Wrong LIKE i, MEAN i got too and seven. FLOOR
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: i think LIKE i Think pacific and Hating catholic might
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: be pretty. Good, yeah BUT i Just i've never.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: Stupid Saint Louis alita isnt.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: Bias i've never heard of. Them then, fo they're not with.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: Anything but, No i've never.
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: Known we can only know so many out of area.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: Teams, yeah unfortunately he's a basketball Town Kansas.
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: Well Keaton woggler.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: Exists, True but, YEAH i mean, again it just goes
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: to their, schedule and this would be the. First this
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: is by far the toughest Schedule Saint mary's has ever
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: HAD i must admit, that like not, admit but like,
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: no it's not.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Emitting it's just, uh it's just it is what it.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: Is but, uh but this is just like when when
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: we say, floor that's like.
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: If everything possible that could go wrong goes. Wrong so
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: that's where that goes. From so but, yeah if they
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: go six and, three if not, better that's a great.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Record, yeah and.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: So they're not too happy. THAT i think, That LIKE
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: i only put the ranked them at like twenty two
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: or twenty. One this is one of those reasons why
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: they have a, schedule really tough. Schedule, yeah AND i
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: JUST i just don't think they have a complete offense right.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Now BUT i really like their. DEFENSE i think their
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: defense is absolutely, legit AND i think that's going to
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: keep them in a lot of.
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: Games m, hm all, right do you think other teams

- 1:17:21Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: Yeah week one the host. Summit that should be. Interesting leak,
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: two as we just, mentioned they're At Saint, Mary's leak

- 1:17:40Speaker 3: Sto this is a very very well made schedule for For.
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: Festest it really Is state running up from a couple
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: of years. Ago great program from down there In Jefson.
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: COUNTY i think they got a pretty good, defense return
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: most of their key, guys a really good quarterback In
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: Parker perry graduated to his two best. Targets they do
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: have a good running back In Campden yates who is
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: their second leader, rusher but he rushed or eight hundred.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: YARDS i think they'll be fine. There offensive line is a.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Concern Uh That's that's What i've heard coming out of.
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: There offensive line is a. Concern if they can amend that,
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: enough they should be pretty. Good having said, THAT i
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: still think they. GO i mean That summit. GAME i
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: think their first two games ARE i Think hannibal's probably
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: better Than, summit but Like Saint mary's there is their toughest.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: GAME i THINK i got an eight and one ceiling
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: and a six and three.
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: FOUR i will have to concur on.
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: That, yeah their conference is clearly not so, good but
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: they do a really good. Job festus has done a
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: really good job of scheduling out of conference.

- 1:20:22Speaker 3: class four bring and they bring back a ton of.
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: TALENT i think they bring back almost every single of
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: their contributions last year on.
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: Offense they.
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: Do they bring back everybody on.

- 1:20:46Speaker 2: i'm just trying to.
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: Think there's just no way that their first five games

- 1:20:52Speaker 3: Home what are the odds to?
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: That it's pretty, crazy that's.

- 1:22:15Speaker 3: year aren't.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: They.
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: YES i think we did see very good things out of,
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: them and especially the playoffs LAST i did kind. Of
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: they do bring back a.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: Time So Nigel good is one of the best quarterbacks
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: in the. Area they have one of the best receiving
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: cores in the, area Uh Donald, Collier Junior Hart Hartal's
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: holman to name a. Few they have a few other
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: guys there, too return a good amount and UH i
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: don't have another roster Like Malchai. Henderson he's a solid running.
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: Back they have a really good sophomore who's got some,
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: offers SOME d one, offers including From Penn, state who's
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: a safety for. Them forgive, ME i don't. KNOW i
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: forgot his, name BUT i know he's a sophomore and
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: he's like six he's a six to three safety and so,
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: yeah so their offense should be pretty. EXPLOSIVE I i
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: have high expectations for, them AND i mean they're A
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: class four.
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: TEAM i MEAN i think that this is state caliber
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: team In class.
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: Four, absolutely, yeah, Absolutely So.
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: I'm really excited for The comanches this. Season, yeah we
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: got to see them last year and they're pretty young
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: and THEY i think they have the tools for what it.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: Takes So i'm.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Also a little bit of a sucker too because they
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: they recently there's a video of them just beating Up
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: Hazelo east in a scrimmage and so it's not the
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: end all.
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: Be allay not physically.
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: Punching, yeah that's WHAT i. Meant but but, anyway like
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: that's a good sign right.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: There it. Does it doesn't mean they're going to be
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: amazing just because of, that but it's definitely not nothing.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Though So, okay that's THAT'S i. Guess all the time
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: we have we covered a lot for you. Guys, yes
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: THERE'S woje bombs and there's, uh there's THERE'S gsv content.
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: Bombs g content bombs a lot better than most, BOMBS.
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: I must agree with that as.
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: Well so any any closing, THOUGHTS i, mean BECAUSE i
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: feel like like the appreciation of the six point, eight
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: they don't get a whole lot of coverage FROM. Us
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: it FEELS i feel like it's a pretty good year for,
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: them looking.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: It should be. It, Yeah, Edwardsville i'm hoping we'll take
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: a step.
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: Forward, yeah they've taken it feels, weird it feels wrong
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: as they've taken some steps, back but like they haven't
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: been as good as they were like since twenty twenty.
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: Three, yeah so you, know but, UH i think record
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: wise they would take a step.
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: Up But precentral we didn't mention them. Yet but they
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: should have another excellent.
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: Year they lost a lot of, talent but knowing who.
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: They are and how good they are rebuilding and how
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: good they're under like their youth systems have, been like
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: they should be. Fine And Central OH i FEEL i, feel,
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: well we can do this in the, previews but there's
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: there's One centralia guy who like gave me this like
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: really great all this information about their, team and it's
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: like and like because he's big on our, podcast we love.
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: That so like when we do some, previews like we'll
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: try to use that. Information but, Yes centralia they're gonna
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: be in The, Kahokia, mississippi.
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: AND i think they'll probably be them In central to battle.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: Out you, know those are two really good sports.
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: Programs there Is dupo gonna be able to recreate the
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: magic fated last.
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: YEAR i don't think.
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: So and their head coach moved on. Too he's now
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: the head coach Of.
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: Staunton really, yeah, wow yeah he's.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: There but good for, HIM i, think you, know HE'S
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: i don't know how Good stunton football, is but, uh
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: it's not a nice opportunity for him.
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: There. Yeah but, yeah so just.
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: Really reminded ourselves of how big THE mcc is as
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: far as like how talented the teams. Are then how.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: Loaded the schedules that they.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: Schedule, yeah it's like, seriously like if they're because like
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: THE sec teams always have the best schedules in the,
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: country Which i'm not exactly sure where that comes. From
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: but if if you had to compare like our strength
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: of schedules to who the top ten best teams, ARE
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: i think like all five of them.
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: Are probably top ten in our area as far as
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: strength of schedule.
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: Go the n, teams, yes if there's but the other
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: four for.
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: Sure, yeah But, Vianni i'm automatically LIKE cbc de smet Slow,
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: yeah just three alone Weight but you're, right, yeah THEY
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: i don't know because like you, GOT i, mean Obviously
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: ritter is number, One.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: St LOUIS i number, one number, one though overall because
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: AFTER i guess After East.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: St Louis is the first three, games it's they have
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: to play The southwestern Team.
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: Louis You. St louis has to play the Conference.
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: Southwestern schedule Hurts con does.
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: Not, yeah SO i think Overall.
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: Ridder might have the tougher schedule because it's weekend week.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: Out Saint mary's is right up there as far as
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: public SCHO i Think eureka would definitely get in.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: There, YEAH i mean there's a few MORE i, Could
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: you know WHAT i.
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: Could there's a way for me to BECAUSE i have my,
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: schedule my schedule rankings WHICH i can work. ON i
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: can work on this. WEEKEND i can probably figure that
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: out and make some make some rankings that'll get people
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: riled up to because they won't understand that it's strictly for,
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: schedule and they'll somehow think, that, oh like, like but
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: this team isn't that, good why are you Ranking, well
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: it's because of their strength of, schedule has nothing to
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: do with their actual, Team So i'll the deal with.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: That but, yeah there's a lot a lot of content
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: to look forward to check. Out we'll be on the
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: lookout for our top twenty Five midwest. Rankings i'm really
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: excited to release. That our top twenty Five missouri rankings
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: are already, out and but if you listen to this,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: podcast you probably have seen it by now because it's
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: it's really making the rounds and we really.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys for that help them spread.
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: That so and then before we know, it we are
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: going to be previewing teams starting On august, tenth which
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: is always a mad, dash and we're only going to

- 1:28:09Speaker 2: honestly SO i really don't know how many Teams i'm
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: gonna see. It i'll just have to probably do my
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: own self reporting on that and just you, know, write
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: maybe write some blogs or articles about, it BECAUSE i
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: just won't have to be doing it the rest of
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: the way HOW i usually do. It so, ANYWAY i
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: GUESS i could feel you guys more on what we're
