• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys very much for joining us on the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Gateway Sports Venue show. I'm John Huff joined by Roman Bishop,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and we are here to recap week nine of the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: regular season to put a bow on it, and then
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: preview the first round of the playoffs in the Metro
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: area where there's gonna be a lot of Illinois games
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on the Metro East side, but also some interesting first
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: round games in the Saint Louis, Missouri portion of the area.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: So Roman, I'm really excited this is going to be
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a great week to review.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And then we had some pretty crazy games and then
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: obviously the big IMG St. Louis game, which we've kind
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of been looking forward to all season, and some other
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: games that had some pretty interesting results to them as well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've been doing this show for a while, Second
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Live show, so thanks y'all for tuning in. But every year,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the post Week nine pre Week ten episode is always
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: kind of funky because Week nine usually has a ton
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: of crazy games and always a few upsets, crazy matchups,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and then going into week ten.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Week ten is always super weird.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Because of the formats we have in Illinois and Missouri
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and how in Missouri you have I mean a significant
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: majority of the good teams on a bye week this week,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: and then in Illinois, you've got a lot of good
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: games between some of the kind of middle seeds, like
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the eight to nine games. There's plenty of good matchups.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: There's also some other weird matchups, like I know, the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Edwardsville game. That's a that's a funky one. It's the
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: thirty two versus the one game in Class eight. But yeah,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: there are plenty of exciting matchups. And the first one
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: that we're gonna go into is Ha's what East sneaks
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: one out against Parkway West's what each wins this one
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: twenty one to seventeen in a pretty insane fourth quarter comeback.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And this really, I think was just Hazwoodiest physicality being
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: too much for a forty eight minute period for Parker.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: West to handle.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was there filming the game, so I got
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a pretty good idea of it. It was a struggle
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in the first half. Both teams scored on their opening
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: drives and then just struggled to find the end zone
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: after that. For a while, West drove the field, came
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: close a few times, but then score and defensively they
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: got a few turnovers against Hazewood East, and then in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the third quarter, it seemed like it was all coming
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: together for West because they scored on their first two
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: first two drives. I actually set up their first drive
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: with another interception in Hazewood East territory and Brett ottens
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Meyer through to a touchdown pass to Late Newsury, who's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: actually the number one leading receiver in the area statistically speaking.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And then on the next drive, on a fourth down,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: sophomore Max Jones had a really nice touchdown reception. Caught
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it kind of over the shoulder catch in the corner
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of the end zone while kind of being defended. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it was a great catch and just a big momentum
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: play too, because it gave Wes to seventeen to seven
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: lead and all the momentum at that time, and they
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: were getting stops and defense, and they even got another
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: stop on defense right after.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: That, and then they drove down to the field.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They drove down the field again early in the fourth quarter,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: got down to the eleven yard line of Hazel East
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with the first down and ten and it's just you're thinking, like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: if they can just get a touchdown here, it's oh,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much over because you know, East was they
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: weren't getting a whole lot going offensively, and they run
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a you know, just a it looks like a split
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: back veer basically with some triple option stuff, and they
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: weren't getting much done. But East clutched up and got
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a stop, and there was a fumble that kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: took away an opportunity for Wes to kick a field
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: goal because it was like a twelve year loss, took
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: them back to the twenty three yard line, and I'm
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: assuming that was the reasoning, so they went for it
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: at it and then East just took over the game
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: right after that right there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you just saw some highlights of Terrence
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Little there at number four for Hazwood East. Not the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: biggest dude, but man, he runs hard, yeah, and he's
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: he's great at accelerating through contact, getting those yards after contact,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: getting down the field quickly. And this was kind of
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a turnover fest. I mean Tyshawn Tilman and Hazelies QB.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: He he completed three passes to his own teammates and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: two passes to Parkway West. But but Ottensmeier also had
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: three interceptions, so a lot of turnovers in this.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: One kind of a messy game.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And yeah it was. It was sloppy for a little bit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And yet again a game where Parkway West really struggles
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to run the ball against a physical defense. As a team,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: they had fifty six rushing yards less than two and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a half yards for Kerry and you know, looking a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: bit ahead for Parkway West in their district, they definitely
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: have the talent to win. I would say their first
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: two games, I mean they should be Parkway Central and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about it. Actually we're not gonna talk about
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: their game against Parkway Central next episode, I guess the
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: later part of this episode.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: But they played Parkway.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Central earlier this year and won pretty comfortably because they
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: have the pretty heavy talent edge in that one. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: then they could potentially play the North Point of zoom
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: All South. And you know, both those teams, especially North Point,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: likes to establish a good run game, and in most
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of their games this year has done a decent job
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of defending the run. So if Parkway West can't get
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a good between the tackles running game going, I don't
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: trust them in their district because they inevitably run into
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: zoom All North, then that could be a problem because
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: right and has been pretty good a defending the run
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You know, in the fourth quarter there and they really
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: West really needed to kind of run away from from
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: East instead of just holding on, and they had the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: hold on and they weren't able to do that. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: give a lot of credit to Hazwoo East because they
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: finally figured it out at the right time where and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't just figuring out, I mean they were
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just able to I think just chip away and chip
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: away and chip away.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: They had some big pass plays as well.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Tilman through two interceptions, but he
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: had a few big pass plays, especially.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: To h Alt to Dominic Boulden.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Dominic Bolden was absolutely huge for uh West or sorry
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: for Hazwled East on those few plays right there.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, you mentioned Terrence Little. He had a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: great game.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But the deon Hens junior he had two rushing touchdowns
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that both of them in the fourth quarter to win
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And you know East, they they go down and score.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And then they they pick off Aten's Meyer around midfield
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and then they drive again and then with under minute
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to play, deon Hens he scores on a two yard
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: touchdown run and that proved to be the difference, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: then to be fair to Auten's myer, his last interception
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: was just a product of like just having to force something,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you know, he had to just he just it was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: like a little pitch he would have gotten sacked and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it was picked off.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so that was a I mean.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: This is a great game between two teams who had
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: good records, so there was really no upset or anything
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: at all, but it was just kind of it was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: shocking that, you know, East, as a team with a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: run heavy offense, trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to come back and be able to win. Is that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: was kind of stunning.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very impressive and congrats to the Spartans day clinch
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: second place in the Suburban Green which was, you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: kind of top heavy this year but still somewhat of
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: a tough conference with Parkway North, Hays What East, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Parkway West, and huge for the Spartans because they are
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: the only team in their conference to hold their opponents
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: under one hundred total points scored this season, so as
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: a team, He's at least only allowed eighty five points
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: scored this whole year, a little over nine points per game,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: so their defense is going to be a problem for
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: teams to run into right in the playoffs. Here.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the whole Parker West under twenty points
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: on the road is pretty impressive, I must say.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: All right, Next up, we're gonna get this out of
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the way for John because he's not gonna want to
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: talk about it too long, so hopefully he can get
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: through it without freaking out.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Well, if we can talk about I mean, better not
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be for too long or else it's gonna be bad.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Fox Warriors defeat LaDue twenty six to twenty.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And Romans genuinely happy about this.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I'm happy for Fox, I mean good for them. They
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: broke a seven game losing streak this year.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: They also broke a twenty nine game losing streak over
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: teams with winning records.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Definitely a streak breaking game for the Warriors they had.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: You know, they won their first game of the year
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I believe it was against Melville, and they lost their
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: next seven games, A couple of them were nail biders.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And then they had also lost eight straight one score
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: games dating back to twenty twenty, where they beat LaDue
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: twenty eight twenty six that year and they had also
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: lost twenty eight straight games.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Against teams of winning records, and because they beat.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Seven and five Saint Dominic forty two to ten back
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty as well, and just a I mean,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Fox didn't really stray away from their usual offense. They
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: they stuck with the run and they got three to
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: twenty one rushing yards as a team, averaging over six
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: yards for Carrie.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Antonio Girilla had a great game.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: He had the game ceiling touchdown on the fourth quarter. Actually,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and you know, LaDue was just this was a stunner.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I definitely did not expect to see this
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: score Friday and night when I was going through scores
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: and checking stuff. And you know, in typical Fox fashion,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: they only attempted two passes all game, but Chandler Pisce
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: was able to complete both from for thirty five yards
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and one of which was a score to Gavin Peckrero
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: in the second quarter. So congrats to Fox and the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: big win. I know it's there. You know, they finished
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the year two and seven, but it's definitely a good
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: win to go into the playoffs and they could win
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: a playoff game, maybe two, but we'll see.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they I think they wanted it more
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: than Le Dou, quite honestly. And you know it, I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: think it shows that Fox's players and their coaches did
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a good job of just getting up for a game.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: When you're one in seven, that can't be easy, you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: your last game of the season. So they were able
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to play with a purpose. And I mean they actually
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: beat LaDou last year, so I mean they definitely I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: think in their minds they're like, well, why, you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: why can't we do it again this year too? So
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: even though even though it's a better team this year
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: than they were last year, we can still beat them.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And they won this game in the trenches by far.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Three hundred and twenty one rushing yards. I think that's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think that might be their second most rushing yards
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they've gotten in the game all season. That could be wrong,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but it's certainly up there. And I mean they were able, yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: six yards of carry right there. It sounds about right,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: because it felt like it felt like whenever they needed,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you know, a short, short.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Game, they'd always get it and then.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Some and uh, you know, I that Dj Cox sixty
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown run on the first drive was a statement
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: right there, and I believe it was on like a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: third and five as well, so that was, you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it spelled trouble for LaDou. Early on, LaDue took the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: lead to actually ten to seven, so they did kind
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of rebound.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: But it was always a close game.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And if you're going if if you're gonna beat Fox,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a good way to do that is to get ahead
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: early and get a two score lead if you can.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Because they are their offenses is much is a whole
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: lot different when you're playing in front of them and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: compared to being you know, just tied or behind, because
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: when you're behind Fox, they're a pretty tough.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Team to beat with that offense that they have. I mean,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: it's it's they're.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Physical, control the clock, they control the clock, They're gonna
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: slow the game down. They want to keep your offense,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the opposing offense off the field, and they did that,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and I mean even if they.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Didn't, then it didn't matter a whole lot.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But Ledu's offense though, I mean, they really they had
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they had their opportunities to take the lead in the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: second half. They had two good drives to start the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: third quarter, but weren't able to finish. In fact, in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the red zone they had I think a first down
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: at the five yard line and could not punch it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in and that's just unacceptable. It's just it's unacceptable. It's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you know, for the talent that they have to do that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So but you got to give credit to Fox because
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: they still held firm there and then it just it
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: just left the door open for Fox if you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: eventually take the lead on a They had a really
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: good Subain drive capped off by Jude Purbishe's four yard
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: touchdown round to take a twenty to thirteen lead, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: then uh Antonio Gerulro again, they had another long drive
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and kept it off with a touchdown run to make
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it twenty six thirteen, and I mean, things got so
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: bad for LaDou they had to take their quarterback out
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and then and then, weirdly enough, their second stream quarterback
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: actually directed a good drive and then they scored to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: make it twenty six to twenty, and then Fox just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: ran the clock out due they got a few first
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: downs and Ladu couldn't stop them, and that's how they
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: sealed it. It could have been an interesting finish right there,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: but Fox made sure it wasn't interesting.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Fox likes to make things not interesting, and that's how
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: they win games well, and they I mean, yeah, you
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: gotta respect them.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: They've made things interesting all season. Because here's the thing,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Foxes not going they're not a typical two and seventeen
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because they've actually lost every game, every game in conference
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: besides LaDou they lost by one score.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: They lost by twenty to fourteen to.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Twenty one to fourteen second in week two that wasn't
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: out of conference game. And then Week three.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Overtime loss that was an overtime loss of Secmond sorry,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: twenty one fourteen.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Fourteen, Yeah, and then week two they got the schedule
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: pulled up right there, one point lost to Rittener, you know, Eureka,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: significant talent gap there, so of course Rika wins. And
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: then in Summit they barely lose that one by six points.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Lindberg they lose by a touchdown? Do they win by
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: a touchdown? So they they've been they've been pushing to
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: break that seal all year and they finally get it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: So congrats to Fox.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Huge game with them.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: They got Poplar Bluff this week. That one should be interesting.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know too much about them. They're three and
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: six so far this year. I mean they three and six.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: They've won three to the last four, so we'll see
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: they can keep that momentum going in the playoffs.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, loves pretty battle tested like Fox. They've had
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a tough schedule, so that'll be an interesting game. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: then on the flip side for Lado, I mean, they've
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: they've won a lot of close games.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: It's not like this is a.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Team who was blowing everybody out and then had one
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: random bad game, so that they've actually lad was actually
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: right for an upset. I mean, you know, you like
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to think that they're winning these games, and they have.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: You got to give credit to them for finding a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: way to win these close games. But they were close
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: for a reason. I mean they were you know, had
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a four point win over Limberg and needed their defense
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to kind of bail them out in that game. The
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Rittner game was actually actually just a great football game.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: They won forty to thirty nine early in the season,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and then Summit they had the again their defense needed
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to bail them out. They won twenty one to sixteen
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: on a last goal line stand. Not a goal line stand,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: but it was a red zone stand there. So you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: know this it's kind of been repeating itself all season
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: for LADU, but they just weren't able to kind of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get themselves out of out of this tailspin that they
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: had against Fox right there. So it does set up
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: for really a pretty cool game for them against the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: CDs on Saturday that we'll talk about. And actually the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: kind of helpfully they win away because for their playoff
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: road they avoid Cardinal Ritter, which they would have played
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in the second round if they would have won the game.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So we'll see if it works out for LADU.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Ultimately, heck of a spin from the LaDue media over
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: here is actually good.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I would say it does.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It does put a little dampant on the season.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I would say damp is the season massively because
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the Doo now does not outright win the Suburban Red.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: And I'll share it with Summit. Both teams finished three
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and one in conference, and looking at this conference with Summit, LaDou,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Retner Lindberg and.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Fox, actually it's poetic justice that two teams share it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: One of one of the most one of the more
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: balanced years we've seen in a while from one of
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the suburban conferences, because technically the champions lad lost to
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: the team that finished in last place Fox.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: And you know, if you look at the team with.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: The largest point differential in the in the positive would
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: be Summit and they had a They had one hundred
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: three points allowed and seventy or seventy points allowed and
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: one hundred three points four in confer diference. So over
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: four conference games, their average margin victor was eight points,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: so pretty close for them, and they won the conference title,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: they got a share of it. And then looking at
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: the team with the largest point differential in the negative,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: that was Lindberg.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: They allowed one.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Hundred and twenty four points in conference and then scored
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: eighty three. It's a difference of forty one, and you know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: divide that by four, it's an average of a ten
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: point loss every week. So really not that not that
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: much of a wide margin for a loss there, so
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: really really tight conference. So definitely make it interesting all
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: these teams something would do.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Written in Lindberg and Fox.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: We talked a lot earlier in the year about how
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: written there would tend to make every game they played
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: super exciting, even though they would lose most of them.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: But you know, Rittner finished five and fourth. They had
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: a decent season, l do this does.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: This is a very.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Bad loss for them, But overall, I think their season,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: their regular season, I'd.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Probably give them a bee.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think they somewhat got above expectations. I mean,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: obviously the start to it and the finish to it
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: against Troy and then the Fox was pretty rough. But
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I think the win for La Duke against Hazwood East
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: that was huge, was nice.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: That the render went by one point. Week two was
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: pretty exciting too.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: It was exciting victory to really kick start of their season.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, look, and if they can, they
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: still look in years from now, they like people will
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: still say, okay, you still want a conference championship even
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: if you shared it. I mean that's happened a lot
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: over the years too, So I mean, you win forty
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: two conference championships in your history, you're gonna have some
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: shared ones in there as well. So and look, I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: think if they can, if they can beat m my
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: CDs next week, that's that's gonna I think kind of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: not reverse things overall, but it's gonna make everybody feel
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: better that it's like, hey, look, you know beat in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: my CDs, get to the second round.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Who knows what happens there. Seven win season that there,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: so it would be so bad. But yeah, if if
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: they would have losed.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: M my CDs and the end the season on a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: three game winning streak losing streak and finished six and four, Yeah,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it definitely dampens the mood for sure.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: So well that's enough. But the Fox game.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Another another very interesting suburban game we had this past Friday.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Oakville defeats Northwest by a final score of ten to seven.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Oakville scrapes went out off the heroics of Gavin Anderson.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I was surprised how low scoring it was.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I know, I mean the Oakville got a field goal
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: in the first quarter and then neither team scored a
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: point until the fourth. And unfortunately Northwest does not have
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: their stats in even the touchdown.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: But we don't know who scored that on.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's Cohen star It probably, I mean Cohen
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: starka is. I believe he still lead to the area
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: in points score, so it was most likely him for
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the Lions.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Well he didn't.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It was a pass, so I don't know who. We
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: don't know who scored on that pass, but he threw it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: But I mean, what has to be the difference here
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: is the Oakville defense. I mean six sacks for them,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: four sacks from Cayden Updyke alone. Incredible game from Updyke.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I mean that four sacks in game.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: That's shoot, that that is an extremely rare feat. That's
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: like hitting four home runs in a game for baseball.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: You almost never see that happen.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: So very very impressive stuff from the Oakfield defense there.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Outside of the Summit game where they gave up thirty
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: one points, the worst they've done is give up fourteen
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: points to Secmen and then Linburg and that's it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, shoot, the six sacks, three fount worldcoveries weren't
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: an interception, so the six sacks, four turnovers forced they
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: were able to. I mean, their offense didn't really do
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: much at all and didn't even Matt Well it mattered
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: a little bit because you know, it effective kind of
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: the flow of the game. But I mean, if you
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: just look at their points allowed his last four weeks,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: they allowed seven to Northwest, who had a pretty good
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: offense all the year, allowed seven to Webster Groves shut out, Melville,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: allowed seven to Rittner, and then they allowed fourteen to
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: SEC men. Then they shut out hazeld West and then,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: as you mentioned a little bit earlier, they they allowed
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: thirty one points to Summit.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Which was their most so far this year.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: So even though offensively, Oakville doesn't really do anything too flashy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, Gavin Anderson is a pretty good running back.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Their defense is so scrappy and it's is so tough
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: in the trenches, and they're they're really good at firing
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: out low and keeping.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Their feet going through contact.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And the footage year isn't too great.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: But this is of their game against Northwest this past Friday.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: You could see the.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: D line just firing off the ball really really well,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: forcing a fumble. They just flow to the ball really
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: well as a team. Their linebackers are really good at
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: shedding blocks as well.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: So really really good stuff from that Tiger defense.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: And they play Limburg.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got Limburg in round one, and they finished
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: second place in the Suburban Orange, which I'm sure they'd
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: be happy with. I mean, this is I mean the
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: bigger Suburban conference because I had seven teams in there,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: but i mean the how close it had against segment,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: They're definitely gonna want that one back.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But so they're probably not happy overall because that's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: how close.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: It was well to finish. Happy, Yeah, happy, but.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: They're probably wish we had that game back, you know, Hey,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: like anybody think about that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: We We've seen Oakville in previous years they have, We've
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: seen them lose games teams they shouldn't, and I believe
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: that they beat every team they should have. I think, so, yeah,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: when you look at you know, ok, you know, Oakville's not,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: you know, as talented as CBC, but they're definitely more
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: talented they were in previous years, looking back by twenty eighteen,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen seasons.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Honestly and looking at that Writtener game, I think that
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was a game I don't know, I don't I don't
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: know if overachieve is the right word, but like that's
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the game they typically lose to, but they beat them.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: So I think that was definitely a sign if things
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: are felt. Things already felt different, even like going into
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that week when they were three and two, because they'd
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: beaten Limberg, who admittedly has not been as good as
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: they usually are this year, but that was still a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: pretty good win at the time. So yeah, to beat Writtener,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: that's their best win of the seasons I think so far,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and even Northwest yr Hill is a pretty good team too,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: but so those are two good wins for them there.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and touched on Northwest for a bit tough wain
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in the regular season, but I'm sure they'll be happy
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: with seven and two. I mean, this is a team
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: that finished five and five last year, so they're definitely
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: taking steps forward.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And it is their best season in a while.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a program that it's kind of
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: been one of the middling teams in the Saint Louis
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: area for a while. But seven wins in a regular season,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the most wins they've had in
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the season so far in at least according to Misha,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: since twenty ten or past that. So most wins and
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: season for Northwest and twenty years at least.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: So huge congrats to coach Scott.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Grilling and the Lions over there. Great stuff from them
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: so far. I mean they got a special kid and
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Cohen starkt QB.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: He's only a junior by the way.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and because of the weird way their district worked out,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: and we'll talk about this later in the show, they
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: got the three seed Oakville got the four seed, so
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Northwest we'll get to buy this week and then they
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: go to Secman.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: And that's gonna be an interesting game.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Secondment got the upper hand on them earlier this year,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: but hopefully that could be a closer game. You know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna pick that game yet because it's not
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: for another week or another.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Two weeks, but hopefully that's more interesting.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: But yeah, congrats to I mean, tough looss for Northwest,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: but great season so far for them.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they're happy on their overall.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Result, so absolutely yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Next up at of Averia game, IMG.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Defeats East St. Louis thirty eight to fourteen, and East St.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Louis was hanging there for most of the game. I
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: was I was tracking on Twitter for a bit, but
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: i AMG is one of the most talent of high
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: school fotball teams in the country.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Every year.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I believe Max Prefs has them at like the number
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: three team in the country. I thought, probably number two,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: number four.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Top five of the country.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Their stats aren't up on Steal High School Sports, but
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: i am I was able to look get an article
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: on rivals and apparently the IMG running back is a
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Louisville commit.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: His name is Lekai Tompkins.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: He had one hundred ninety four rushing yards on twenty
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: one carries, and he had two touchdowns.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of people say he's kind of been the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: big difference maker for IMG this season.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: And it looks like Reeese Schanklin is back at QB
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: for East St.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Louis.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I know, for a bit, for a bit he wasn't
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: against some snaps. I don't know what the issue was there,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: but it looks like he's backs. That's good, but yeah,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: it's tough.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: For Saint Louis. My son, Johnson Cook had a good game.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: He hundred and one rushing yards and a touchdown. So he
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: continues to be one of the best running backs in
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: the area.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Really the country.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's recruited as a four star and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: has some big time offers, and he's every game he's
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: been really good for for Saint Louis. I mean, you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Bergen Catholic and you know this game, to get over
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: one hundred yards is really impressive against you know, one
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of the best teams in the country. So he's he's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: he's certainly lived up to his star status and and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: all the offers he's getting.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Another tough way to finish the season is IMG for
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: eastt Lewis.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: They finish the season at six six and three.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: And now they got the Illinois Playoffs coming up, which
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: in recent history has generally been relatively easy for the
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Flyers compared to their regular season schedules, because East Louis
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: is one of those one of those weird teams where
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I will say a lot of people don't
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: like East St.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Louis, don't like.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: The way they do things, but I respect East St.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Louis because they do not dodge smoke. They go out
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: of their way to schedule the most difficult schedule possible
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: every year. I mean, they scheduled Bergen Catholic Week one.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: That's one of the best teams the country up there
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Gadsden County is one of the better teams.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: In North Florida, but they've had some issues this year.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: If they had to forfeit that one at East Louis
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: and then everyone knows Bishop Gorman. I mean, they're one
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: of the best teams in the country every year. It
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: seems like they're top ten nationally every year. And then
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: they lay waste to their conference schedule and then they
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: go back out of the state for a game DESIMG.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: So props to Easting Lewis for continuing to make a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: very difficult schedule. I think that helps them out in
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: the long run every year. I mean, because what happens
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: is they played this extremely difficult schedule and then they
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: get to the playoffs into cakewalk usually until state.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Where they don't win state. Every time we've seen that.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: We've seen some upsets happen that happened in the past.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: But I mean, shoot for Plainfield east I did some
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: research on them, poor Plainfield east Man.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I think this is like their third playoff appearance ever.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: They have not made the playoffs very much of their
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: school's history, and of course because of Easting Lewis's record.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I actually say is gonna put them up very high
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: in the rankings.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Well, it's all done mathematically, so.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: They're not gonna even though eastint Louis is by far
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: the most talented team in Illinois Class six, they're not
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: gonna be put as one.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Of the top two or three teams. I think they're
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: they're rked number.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: They're ranked number one in Class six.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're ranked number one, but their seating I think
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: is like eighth, eighth or ninthy eight out.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Of sixteen in the sub in like the South bracket. Yeah,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: out of thirty two teams overall.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: So tough draw for playing Field East.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: But and then and then if Chadam Glenn would since
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: they're the one seed, if they win against a really
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: tough Joliette Catholic team by the way, who's uh one
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of the they're not one of the best teams, but
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: they're incredibly battle tested as well. So it's like imagine
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: like that's a sixteen seed in your first round is
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: by no means a ka kwak. Then if they win,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: they got to go play East Saint Louis in the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: second round. So that that's got to be the toughest
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: draw of one seed in any class in ever in
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the you know six eight class system that in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I should say that they've had since then, it's been.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: It's got to be the toughest draw one seed's ever gotten.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: If I'm Chadam Glenn, would I am extremely upset. Yeah,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: I'm extremely upset.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: There's nothing you can do, I mean, that's just the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: system there is I know.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: But it's you gotta think that like some exceptions can
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: be made, but no, I guess estions it would be fair.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: They they lost to Easting Lewis in the quarterfinals last year,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens again.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happened.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Speaking of not being fair, CBC.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: They defeated Saint Mary's by a score of fifty six
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: to nine on Friday, and CBC completes their first undefeated
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: regular season since I believe, was it twenty fifteen sixteen.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: It's been a bit, yeah, because surprisingly it's been a while.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Well I mean, well kind of like East Louis. I mean,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: they don't schedule as many out of area teams as
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: East Louis does, but they always have at least one
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: or two very tough out of state games.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Well in twenty twenty one, in twenty twenty two they
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: lost the East St. Louis both those years, even though
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the n CBC ended up winning state. So yeah, I know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I know, and too that we loved the twenty eighteen team,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: but they did lose, and they lost one game and
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that was.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: To Saint John from Washington, d C.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I thank you.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think you're right about that twenty fifteen
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: team because they ended up winning, They ended up winning state,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and yeah they did go well. No, no, well first
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: undefeated regular season team. That twenty fifteen team actually did
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: not win State. They lost to Blue Spring South, which
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: hey could happen against.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know about that. I know about that.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying Blue Springs South is a really good
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: team and they would actually meet up in the semi
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: finals if that were to happen.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: But I'm still betting on CBC though.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, after all what I've said about CBC this season,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not picking against them no matter what.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: At this point.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: You just saw some of the highlights of the CBC
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Saint Mary's game, and I talked about their O line
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: last week after they defeated sou High and they're just
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: so fast, they get downfield so well. They allow guys
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: like Nick. Nick McClellan stat lines every week are just ridiculous.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: He was seven of eight throwing the ball for two
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: hundred and three yards, three pound touchdowns and zero interceptions.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Four carries for one hundred and twelve yards, averaging twenty
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: eight yards per carry. I mean, the kids unbelievable.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: He has to win Player of the Year.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: That that was diabolical. That throw was completely dieboltic. That
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: was I mean, that was that was that was into
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: seemingly triple coverage and he just threaded the needle right
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: to engage right to Correy Gauge, and of course Gauge,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: being the athlete he is, escapes five guys in the
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Saint mary secondary for a touchdown. It's it's it's it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: not fair, like it's just it's totally unfair how much
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: talent CBC has, and even Saint Mary's they're a talented team,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: but they're just no match for CBC and the Cadets.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: So it's just, I mean, they're they're so aggressive off
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: the ball and they they're they're so fast at every position,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: not just the receiver and quarterback.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Vick Williams another good game.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Ten carries eighty two yards, Kayden Shay five carries for
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: one hundred and five yards. What I mean, it's CBC
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: as a team puts up craziest stat lines every week.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: They had five hundred and eighty five total yards of offense.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, this game was never close, never close, never
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: in doubt. Saint Mary's comes into.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: The playoffs, as easily the favorite Class six. Yeah, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: they get a bye week as well to start.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: But their their district's gonna be interesting. Classic District two
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: is gonna be very very interesting.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: It's arguably the toughest district in the state. But CBC
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: is just that good. It may not be that big
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: of a problem. I mean, because well, Lafayette's gonna be
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: really good. They're undefeated as well, so we got to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: shout them out for their first undefeated season. Actually it
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: was their first unefeated regular season in twenty twenty three.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: But I just want to say, CBC, they are averaging
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: fifty four point thirty three points per game.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Insane, Yeah, insane. We'll speaking of Classics District two. Another
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: game we're gonna jump to real quick. Rockhurst defeats slew
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: High thirty five to fourteen.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I was surprised by that that slew It allowed thirty
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: five points. In that I'm not totally shocked that they lost,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: because Rockers is a pretty good team, but I was
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: just a little surprised they gave up thirty five.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I was and this this, this is another game where.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Jordan Taylor is pretty much the only offense for the
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: junior Bills.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been great.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Jordan Taylor is amazing. He is an amazing running back.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: And I think this slu High offensive line has been
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: good this year. I wouldn't say great because they've been
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: you know, I guess the play calling isn't on the
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: offensive line, but there their run game isn't super creative,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: so Jordan Taylor is kinds from making magic cap and
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: whenever touches the ball at least tries to. But slu
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: High just could not get a passing game going at all.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: And I would assume that put they're defense in a
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: bunch of bad spots. And you know, Rock Course is
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: a very well coached team every year. I mean they're
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: they're the only all boys school in k See, so
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: they're always going to be a talented team. And yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: they to mind know there will be only all boys
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Catholic school in case.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And if it's just not that, but they're still like
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: they're the only large all boys school.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean Slue High was able to get
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: three turnovers this game on defense, so their defense, you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched the whole game.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: I was only able to watch them the highlights. It
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: just seemed to me like.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Kind of like last week where their offense just continually
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: had three and outs and continue to keep their defense
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: on the field in bad spots, and in.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: This case they did have a few turnovers.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I was gonna watch some of the highlights right now.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Rockhurst they're a good team.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: They should do some damage over there on the west
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: side of.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: The They are in the same district as Platte County though,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: so so why.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: If their district.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many districts like this.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: But hey, they plack County is amazing, But you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Rockhurst is pretty good too, so and you never know.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: You never know, you never know.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Well, SLEW high ends the year at seven to two. Definitely,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: they're definitely not happy with the.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Way they finished the season when they started off seven
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: to zero and then.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Played two really good teams and CDC and Rockhurst, and
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: now they get to buy a week and they got Lafayette,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: so one of the I mean, outside of East Louis
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: playing IMG, this is probably the most difficult three game
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: stretch any team could possibly have in the Saint Louis area.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is insane. SEC Rockers and Lafayette the
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: number one team in the state CBC. I think Lafayette
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: is being ranked around three or four in Class six.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be sure they're top I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if they were in top five, which is crazy,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: but they're they're ranked, and they were, it doesn't matter.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: They were still really good.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Rockhurst is one of the best teams
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: in Class five. So brutal end of the schedule for
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: SLU High. We'll see how they can respond as Lafayette.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, Lafiaft's defense has been amazing this year. So
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: if SLU High can just develop their mid passing game,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: you know, just getting those crossing routes over the middle
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: of the field and fifteen yards downfield, I think they
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: could score a few points just Lafayet.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: But it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be really tough.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: It just it seems like, yeah, these last few weeks,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: their offense has really been figured out.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe even.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Going back to the Lift for Life game where they
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: only scored thirteen points and then they played Vianni and
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Shamanad and kind of did what they're supposed to do.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, against the particularly pretty good teams, it's been
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a struggle and then you know, even you look at
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the Smell, I mean, the Smet's defense has kind of
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: been given a lot of negativity this season and Sleuugh's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: scored thirty one on them, so like, which is it
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: was just fine. I mean, it's always good to could
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: score with thirty, but like there's teams that are scoring
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: like forty and fifty and sometimes even sixty against the Smets, So.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Kind of wonder there.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: But you still can't count slew out because their defense
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: has been pretty good, and you know it's and it's
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: just the playoffs, so you never know what quite can.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Happen to yeap.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Sticking to the mcc let's head over to the de
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: SMET game. The Spartans of to SMET defeat Edwardsville thirty
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: to fifteen.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: And knocked him out of the playoffs. Right right, yeah,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: right wrong.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: We had thought everyone had thought that he that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It was just the people who weren't paying attention to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: all the predictions and the like the news that what
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: could happen.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: We had all thought that Edwardsville was playing for their
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: lives here and before we got to Edwardsville, I do
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: want a shout out to SMET here I mean their
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: offense continued to do good. I mean only thirty points,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: but they had over five hundred and forty total hours
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: of offense.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Gave Rodriguez had another really good game.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Eighteen twenty three, passing two hundred nine passing yards, two touchdowns,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: and Cam Sharp yet again has a great game. So
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I think offensively just Met has found their guys for
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: the future. Yeah, and defensively they were able to shut
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: down Edwardsville. Edwards doesn't have their stats in, but I
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: know Titan Davis got a pick, so that was a
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: good big for him. Tevon Gregory else got a sack,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: So that was good stuff.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: From the Spartans defense.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: And funny enough, so you know for this SMET they
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: win this game, they host Marquette to start the playoffs
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and you know, winnable game. Definitely a step back last
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: year from the set from Class six state champions to
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: where they are now a lot of yeah, yeah, they're
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: there a young team this year, and I think if
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: they do finish at six and five, that's I mean,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: that's that's never going to be meeting expectations when you're
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: hat to SMET. But I think it's understandable given where
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: they're at and I think they have a lot to
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: look forward to for the future. And for Edwardsville. They
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: finished the year four and five in a very disappointing season.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: But the way that Class eight worked out Edwardsville, that's right,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: they're not having a class at this year.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: The way that Class seven was able to work out
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: this year in Illinois.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: They ran out of five win teams.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Which is crazy, and they were the best four.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Win team they had, well they were, they were.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: They were the best four win team according to most
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: opponent victories and that's what got them into the playoffs.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Edwardsville schedule was very difficult and they played d Chaddam
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Glennbo week one, we lost by.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Score, number one seed in Class six, they played bracket.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: They played a really good Lawrence Central team from Indiana
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: in week two. They played one of the best teams
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: in Missouri and Jackson in week three and lost by five.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: And then they.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Played arguably the best team in Illinois and he sat Louis.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, lost that one.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: And then they played just met who is you know,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: not where they were in previous years, but still a
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: solid team on the Missouri side. So they at four
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: and five Edwardsville sneaks in at the final number thirty
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: two seed in Class seven in the Illinois bracket.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: The play that got them into the playoffs was their
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: their last minute touch come back against Bevera LEAs, where
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Gavin Frey caught a twenty two yard touchdown pass from
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Yale Weaver with ten seconds to play.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Back on was September twenty sixth, so a month season. Yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: it did. That's crazy. That's well.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know that people have been clamoring for
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: kind of a contraction of the Illinois playoffs to keep
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: the system it's at right now, but maybe go down
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: to seven or six classes, because you know, I mean,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: I you know, I Edwardsville is the Saint Louis team,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: so it's it's good for them to make the playoffs.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: We want them to succeed, we want them to win.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Hope they can pull off the insane upset against Richards,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: but that would be a long shot.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: But you know, when you're looking at the integrity.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Of the system, it's like, does a four and five
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: team deserve to make the playoffs?
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: I think that four.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: And five teams deserve the chance to make the playoffs, honestly,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: because with the schedule like this, Yeah, you could still
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: be a good team and finished below five hundred.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've actually.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Seen That's what happened in Nazareth and Academy a few
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: years ago when I think twenty twenty three they ended
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the season four and five, but they got in and
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: then won Class five.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: And if everyone remembers Kyron Elobie's Vanni squad back in
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, they finished the year four and five after
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: extremely difficult I believe twenty eighteen, twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: twenty sixteen they had an extremely difficult schedule where they
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: played Kirkwood, which was the year they won state. Yes,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: and they played Shamanad who was really good that year.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: They played CBC. He was really good that year. They
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: played out of state team aftergot who was who was
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: really good that year?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I think it was Providence Catholic.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Uh and Vianni finished the year regular season at four
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: and five and they went on to win Class five.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Yep, we got pulled up, so they had Kirkwood New
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Lenox five was Catholic.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: By the way, Battle back when Battle was a machine
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: over in Colombia. Shamanad and the CBC and then they
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: got their revenge on Shamanad in the playoffs.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: And had an unbelievable win over State least unbelievable. Yeah,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: they overcame two separate fourteen point deficits and to win
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: to win that game.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm, and then they're able to be championship game.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: That was a great game.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: So we've seen we've seen four and five teams win
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: State before.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: That's kind of why I think some foreign five teams
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: deserve a chance to get in.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: But definitely a lot of the non sting Lewis Folkes
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: are not gonna be happy about Edward's Will getting in.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: But if there were no if there were no five
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: win teams left, then it is what it is.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's like so like in that case, like,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: is just Richard Richards just get a first round by then,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: like if no fourteen win team deserves to get in, Like, no,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: that's not how it works.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: It's just got to go with what what works best next.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: And Needward Zilla was the next team in the formula.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: So look, there's no perfect system for high.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: School football playoffs, but I still like this system at
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: least better than the current system that Misha has put
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: in place, and there's a lot of adjustments that it
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: could use, which I think we will explore at a
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: later time, uh for another day. But I still like
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the Illinois system what they use there for the most part.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: And yeah, like a one seed like Chatham Glenwood, they
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: kind of got screwed over there and then Edwardsville.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, no one's really that.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody can be really mad at
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Edwardsville for getting in, you know, because.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: Not every didn't uose that.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: No, it's just it is what it is.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: And like for for Richards, they still get to play
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: four and five team, so it's a it's a pretty
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: competitive four and five team, but that's typically what you
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: get in Class seven in Illinois with all the.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Big schools there.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: So you know, it is what it is, and I'm
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: maybe it'll be an interesting game, so I'll be I'll
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: be looking forward to that when it happens.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Shifting over to the U City Jennings game, U City
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: defeats Jennings pretty comfortably. Final score here thirty eight to six.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: U City finishes the year eight and one. This is
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: their most wins in a season since at least nineteen
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: ninety nine. That's awesome to the extent that that how
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: sports goes back, that's awesome. It's the most wins in
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: a season for University City in quite a while. So
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: congrats to the Lions sophomore running but I believe he's
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: a sophomore, Travis Allen. This kid's a heck of a ballplayer.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Twenty nine curious for eighty five yards. It doesn't say
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: exactly how many touchdowns he got.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: I'd assume he got at least one or two.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: He's been great for him all year, and coach Will
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Franklin has done an incredible.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Job at U City.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: I know that you City has always I mean for
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: a while they were kind of sitting around that five
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: six win mark.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Just kind of not even that a lot of times.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, kind of just sitting there in the middle
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: of their conference, not really threatening anybody that was good.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: But they were always somewhat talented.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: They've always had decent speed, decent football IQ on their team,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: but they've never really been able to take that next step.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: And I think for them to come through this year
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: and finish eight and one with their one loss being
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: to a really good Saint Geneviet team is super impressive
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: and this was their first test since then, and defensive
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: there they were able to come out.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Firing off the ball really really well. They I know,
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: they had three terceptions this game.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Jason Cotton, Christian Hill, and Kevin Kilning's worth all the
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: interceptions this game, and they had two sacks. Dark Barber
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: one of the best football names we've seen this year.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Dark Barber has a second name.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: And then Joshua McNeil also had a sack. So the
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Lion's defense has been great. Tough way to end.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: The unbeaten streak for Jennings, but this is one of
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: their best years in a while as well.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they i probably their best season since
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty so this is their most wins in the
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: season is tween twenty one and assuming they win a
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: game or two in the playoffs, this would be the most.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Wins they've had since twenty fourteen.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: So another great coaching job done by Darryl Green. It's
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: his first year of the program. So two coaches, Coach
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Franklin for ust City and coach Green for Jennings doing
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: incredible jobs over there in North County where they can
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: keep up good work and keep harnessing that talent and
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: help grow that talent over.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: Their four years those schools.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: This clinches the Suburban Blue for University City as they
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: finished eight one and five zero en Conference. So congrats
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: to them for a fantastic year. Hopefully they can take
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: the next step and screw around and win.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: A few playoff games.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: But uh, I know, well, they should win their first
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: round game, but they're in a very tough district, very
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: tough district.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I'd like to say, well, I'd be really intrigued with
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: this district because I think it's not so you know,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: like I don't think there's one particularly big time favorite
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: in this district. So and you know, I don't know
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: if we quite know how good U City is yet.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: So that's why I got some hope for them there
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Next up over to a rivalry game.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: I would say when these two teams, at least last
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: year hated each other, I don't know if they hate
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: each other as much this year. But Cardinal Ritard defeats
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Luther North by a final score forty two twenty two.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: It was it was a close game for a little bit.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: It was the.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: Stats aren't in unfortunately, but I would assume.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: We will have a video a video of the game
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: later on and hopefully tonight or tomorrow.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mannie Ellis again had a fantastic game, three touchdowns
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: for him, continues to be one of the better running backs.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: In the whole state of Missouri, and he's gonna.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: It.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: Seems like they've really been able to I mean they've
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: their offense has been getting more and more streamlined week
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: by a week. With Ellis in the backfield, they end
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: rather than more really settling in at QB for them.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Many Ellis now has over thirteen hundred rushing yards, so
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: incredible year for him. Card Water has got a clew
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: this week in the first week of the playoffs. I should
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: be a cake wall for them.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: They are by far more talented team in that.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: One, so really really good way for card Waer to
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: finish the season with an emphatic window for De smet
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: in that shootout game and then for to put up
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: a bunch of points in Lutheran North. And you know
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: he's against against the Missouri teams they've played since Week three,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: against Francis Howell, against Saint Pias, against the Smett Lutheran North.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Their offense has continue to improve.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: So really good.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: Signs from the Lions and for Lutheran North caps off
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: a really funky regular season.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: They finished four and.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Three, only four and three, I only played seven games, Yeah,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: pretty rare.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: However, those three losses were to the best team in
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Class two Blair Oaks, one of the best teams in
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Class three in Maryville, and one of the best teams
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: in Class five in Cornel Rider.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean probably the top twenty team in
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the state. Yeah, well, I mean blair Oaks their top
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: twenty team too, probably arguably.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Even though they're in Class two. You could argue that
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Blair arguably top team. And last I wouldn't say not
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: ten in the state. That would be a bit of
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: a stretch. But I mean for luther North to win
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: their conference again, to win the Metro League is pretty
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: big for them. And then you know, they got the
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: other McLure score. They got the Clure North in the
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: first round, so definitely a game they should win.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: But yeah, funny enough.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I was actually, you know, on Friday, once I got home,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: it was the Sacramento.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: State Montana game on TV.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they panned over to the Sacramento State sideline
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: and it was coach Wagner.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: I was like, hey, it's coach Wagner. Go to see
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: him over there.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: You go to see him doing well over at Sacramento State.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: But anyways, a few of the games will go through briefly.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: You were at on Thursday the Halias Lift for Life game.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: This was a crazy, crazy game. I know, the end
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: of the first half was pretty insane.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Elias defeats the Hawks forty five to twenty eight, and
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Halias finishes out their undefeated regular season.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: They're nine to zero. So talk to us something about
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: this game. You were there.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: It's cold night, but it was a fun way fun cold.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: You know, it's fall football weather. There. Great venue at Halias.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Ray Henries Stadium is one of the premier stadiums in
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the entire state of Missouri. Austin Weaver, for Halias quarterback,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: is a certified dog five rushing touchdowns. It was kind
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: of like, you're gonna hate me to compare it to him,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: but Tim Teboat Florida where they always had those plays
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: where he would just kind of if it was within
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: like five yards, the would just give him the ball
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and QB power and go to the end zone. That's
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: basically what he did four rushing touchdowns from all one
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: yard out and then I think he.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Had another two yard rushing touchdown, So.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of physical physicality was put on
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: him and he did it. And then outside of that,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: he had a three or four really nice throws as
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: well to receivers where it was hard for Hallis to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: get open Lyft for Life did a pretty good job
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: of their secondary of just of guarding Halias's receivers, which
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: forced the Crusaders to kind of go in a different direction,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: but they were able to pound the ball up the
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: mill pretty good and that really kind of dictated the
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: game a lot in my opinion, and Lift for Life
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: they got out to a really good start. In fact,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: u Deshaun Moss had two kickoff returns for touchdowns in
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: the game, which I don't think I've ever seen before.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen plenty of kickoff returns, but two
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: in the same game, because eventually usually when someone run
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: runs one back, they're not going to see the ball again.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Halias kicked off to him again and he scored. In fact,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: they did it two times and second return got out
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: to about the fifty yard line, and then the third
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: time they kicked it to him, he scored on it again,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: and that was actually their only touchdown in the second
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: half where Elias just really took over there. They outscored
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: the Hawks thirty one to eight in the second half,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: lopsided score there. Ended up winning forty five to twenty eight.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: But there's this really funky uh play at the end
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: of the It actually ended up not mattering, but I
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: have to talk about this. So Lift for Life they
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: get an interception about the five yard line returnment, but
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: then it's called yeah, Halias was right, Yeah, their own
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: five yard line, and one of the Life players is
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: fled for a blindside block, and so they bring it
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: back to the four yard line and then.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't have been a big deal.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: But then Lift for Life they were called for an
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: illegal shift and it was by the way, they didn't
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: have it on camera, but like one of their players
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: kind of like just shifted motion back in and like
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: that was illegal. So then the balls at the two
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: yard line, it was half the distance, and they take
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: an knee, and so they're down at the one yard
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: line and there's and then Halias they actually they're coaching,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: kind of it made it ultimately a good time out,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: but they waited way too long to call it because
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: they called a timeout with two seconds left and realized, like,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: hold on a second, they're gonna have to like legitimately
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: run a play here because if they can't, they have.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: No more room to take a knee.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: And so they did that with two point nine seconds left,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: and so Lift for Life. They're in a shotgun now.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Instead of under center, they hike it, throw a pass.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: It's thrown behind the receiver. It's intercepted the twenty yard
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: line by Elias. And then the guy he has the receiver,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: he had the defender, he has a convoy in from him.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: He's got one guy who blocks would be tackler, but
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: he then but he runs into his old man at
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: the five yard line and is stopped short. I don't
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: know if he would have gotten in because there's still
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: like another, I think three or four other Lift for
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Life players. But if they just would have had enough
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: time in the clock, if they called that time out
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: earlier and they make that interception, then they would have
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: had time to at least kick a field goal, if
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: not go for the end zone right there. So anyway,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: that was just a pretty crazy end to the first
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: half didn't lead to much, but Elias just completely uh
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: steamrolled Lift for Life in the second half right there.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: So that was that was just a really good response
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: for an undefeated team.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: He's actually not ranked in the in Class six rankings,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: by the way, which I find odd, but they I
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: would imagine they'd be ranked after this week though.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Should be well. Looking at it for Lift for Life.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Class three this year is pretty tough, and if they
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: want to make I think they have the talent to
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: make a run.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: But they got a tough draw.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: They got a really tough draw because in Class three
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: District two they got Saint Genevieve and Valley Catholic in
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: their district. That's gonna be tough to get out of.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: And then if they get out of that, they would
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: mean the winner of Class three. I believe right now
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: the winner of Class three District two will win their
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: quarterfinal game, and then the winner of that would likely
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: to go up against Maryville, which is gonna be a
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: really tough game. And then you got Seneco waiting on
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: the other side of the bracket to meet whoever wins
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: that side of the bracket.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: NFA Championship Game so really really loaded Class three this year.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: So you know, Lift for Life has the hardest schedule
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: in Class three. You know, they finished the year I
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: think five and four, Uh yeah, five and four with
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: a one point loss to a good Cape Central team,
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: a close loss to Halias, a one point loss just
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: through High, one of the better teams in Class six,
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: and then a twelve point loss to a pretty good
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: Baylor team from Tennessee. So and they got they got wins.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: They got wins against CDs, a solid Class five team,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: probably their best win, Cohokia, a playoff team in Class four,
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: I take that back, Coke Coke is probably the best one.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah and yeah, So as long as Lift for Life
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: can kind of tighten up on offense with their deep
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: passing game, then they can make a run.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: But it's gonna be defense.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, they kind of tighten up on both sides
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: of the ball. From what I saw, I think their offenses.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Their offense is pretty good. I mean, their offense can
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: be really good, but they just couldn't put it all
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: together consistently. And their their defense really struggled slowing down
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Halias's run game, and that's really how they got beat
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: so Lift for Life. They're the most talented team in
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Class three. I know Seneca is really good, but Lift
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: for Life they're they're by far the most athletic team.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: They just they just.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Got to play clean football and just you know, not
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: shoot themselves in the foot at times and sometimes just
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: kind of take care of the moment, you know, and
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: just not get beat and uh once they if they
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: can kind of clean up not even all that stuff,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: but just clean up penalties, they're a really tough team
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to beat.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: If they can do that.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: Well, the game we'll talk about real quick.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: Zumo West defeats Hannibal by a final score thirty one
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: to twenty eight.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: This was an upset.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was They may not like that you
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: said that, Well, on paper it is.
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Hannibal came into this one seven and one with their
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: one loss being too undefeated Halias, and they had a
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: predominating win against Troy and Dumot West also beat Troy,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: but it was by a much closer margin.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: So Hannibal came in.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: I think when we talked about it last week, we
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: expect it to be a very close game. I actually
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: picked Mot West to win, even though Hannibal was favored,
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: So congrats is what West on a great win here.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: It's looking like.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: This is their best regular season.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not been the most graceful regular season
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: they've ever had by any means, but six and three
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: with this schedule is pretty good.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: And they're for this is gonna be interesting because if
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: I'm sure, I mean, you know, West obviously has to
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: take care of business against Hall Central, but I'm sure
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: Zamalt West would love to get revenge against Francis Howell.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: All the games and their schedule, I would assume that's
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: the one they went back. They lost to Zumal North
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: on a walk off touchdown, but I think the way
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: they lost to Francis Howell really irks them. But you know,
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: just for Zumalt West to continue to tighten up on
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: both sides of the ball, I mean, their defense has
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: been great since Week one, but for their offense to
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: really get better week by week. Clayton O'Brien finished the
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: regular season well. These stats are incomplete because they.
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: Don't have their stats in for week nine yet.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: So through week eight, O'Brien had thirteen and twenty seven
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: passing yards, sixteen touchdowns, six interceptions, and then defensively, I
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: actually want to shout out Ryan Westler. Unfortunate to suffer
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: an injury so he's out for the season, but he
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: had a great season and linebacker for the Jags.
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: He had three sacks, one.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Interception, fifty one tackles. And these might be in complete
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: stats as well, like you said.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: They are, Yeah, they're not even complete stats yet. But
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: the rest of this what West defense has been great.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, Garrick Dicks in the case they commit has
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: been great, Ethan Kidd has had a fantastic season, John
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Howser as well, Ben Nascal. This is what West Jaguar
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: defense has been. I mean they they held Kirkwood their
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: lowest point total the whole season with just ten points.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first game of the season, but still that's that
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: still counts. I mean, yeah, that's really good. I mean,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: I mean that was we were kind of like surprised
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: by that even at the time.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, even looking at Kirkwood, they haven't even gotten
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: close to just ten.
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: Points in a game yet.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're Their next lowest total was twenty
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: four points in a win against Eureka.
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: So this is what West defense is.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: Very legit and we've been talking about that all season long,
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: and I know they've got a huge senior class this year,
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: and it seems like their camaraderies just getting better week
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: by week, which is so huge especially in them as
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: in the in the long and grueling Missouri playoffs system,
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: and you know, with them not getting a bye week,
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: they're gonna have to continue to grind through, not play
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: through injuries, but you know, play through being hurt, because
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: at least you know in football, in the sport of football,
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: everyone gets hurt. Not everyone gets injured, but everyone gets hurt,
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: everyone gets banged up. It's a long season. No one's
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: gonna be feeling perfectly healthy by the time playoffs come around.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Unless you are a pocket passing QB and you have
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: an amazing o line that you never get sacked.
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: That's maybe the end you're or you're a kicker or hunter,
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: that's maybe.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: The only time that you're not gonna be banged up
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: or by this time of the season. So for Zumot
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: West to kind of come together as a team fight
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: through these injuries, and I think it's big for them, huge,
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: huge win to finished the sixth and three with a
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: very difficult schedule. One of the one of the West's
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: toughest schedules in recent memory, honestly, and against Kirkwood, Zumalt North, France, Howl,
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Troy Hannibal, tough schedule, came out six and three finished,
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, and then they they've won their last four games,
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: so that that's so huge and again I can gratch
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars, big win for them, and yeah, anything you
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: want to said about that one.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: You know that Francis howel loss.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just I mean this, that win over
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Hannibal just makes this season look a lot better now
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: because you just look like, hey, they just got maybe
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: a little unlucky against Dumalt North in Kirkwood, and then
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: like Howl's really that they're one loss where I think they,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: like you said, to be irked by that, but then
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: they could easily be they could easily be eight and one.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that now.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: It's just because if you if they lose the Hannibal,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: if it's like, well, they're five and four and that's
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: probably really who they are. But now like six and three,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, they actually might have been
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: a litt unfortunate to lose a few of these games
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: and they're actually a lot better than that. So it's
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: funny what one win can do for your season, and
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: that's so that's really cool, and they might be favorites
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: to win the Classics District four now the way they're playing.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: We'll get to this a little bit later, but Classics
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: District four in Missouri is very interesting, very very interesting.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: But anyways, congrats to the Jaguars and a big win.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: One of the game will briefly go over.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: Cainland High School in Chicagoland area defeats All taugh by
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: final score of fifty five to twenty eight, and last
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: year's Class one champions are out of the playoffs. They
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: did give up with the Class four this season Class three,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: Class three.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: But it didn't matter because they still had the same schedule,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: roughly the same schedule they had last year. Again, you know,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: mostly the same teams, and just they weren't as good
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: as last year. And yes, not having the year Hill
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: makes this probably means you're not going to be as
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: good as you know with having the year Hill on
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: your team. But yeah, this is this was a talented,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: all top team and just didn't all quite come together.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: They had a really tough loss to Mount Vernon twenty
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: nine to twenty eight, where they let in the fourth quarter.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: So they're they're probably gonna look back at that game
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: of the season and think, like, man, if we just
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: could have won that, then it'd be different. And and
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: who knows, I mean this is that I don't know
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: what they would have their seed would have been in
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and Class three is obviously tougher than Class one. Yeah,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: so it's, uh, you know, from an All Tough perspective,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. But I know there's a lot of people
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: in Illinois that are probably grinning, yeah, because if if
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: anybody paid attention to the all the noise that All
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Tough kind of had to hear and deal with last year,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: you know, being A one a private school in the
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: playoffs with like a like multiple D one players on
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: their team.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: So that that rubbed a lot of people the wrong
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: way last year.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: So this year, those same people are probably going to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: be are really happy right now. So but you know,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: but it is what it is, and you know, all
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: I think All Tough will be okay next year, but
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: it just kind of depends what they do. Because they
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: got some pretty good underclassmen coming back.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: A few other scores.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: I want to brief we talk about Shamana defeats Hickman
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: thirty seven to twenty seven.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: Huge win with the Red Devils.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: They finished the season five and three and get a
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: decently favorable playoff draw.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah they I mean they play Riverview Garden River Yeah,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Riverview Gardens, Yes, in the six to three game. But uh,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: but then the next week they're most likely to go
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: out to play Carter Ritter and.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: It could be an interesting I mean I would pick Ridder,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: but they could make the Shamana could be an interesting Yeah.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: I mean it's what's interesting because like because they won,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Shamanon won, they took LaDue spot in the three seed,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: and that they pushed Ladu to the four seed, which
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: gave us the MI I CDs LaDue game that's gonna
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: be on tap for Saturday next week. So I'm happy
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: that happened because that would be a great game.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Yep, and Orchard Farm fans, nice try. You're not getting
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: out of this one, Scott Free. I have to bring
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: this up. Orchard Farm formally, undefeated loses to Mobray thirty
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: six to thirty.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: That came out that that honestly that was That was
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: probably most fucking to me then do losing the Fox.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: It was I mean, offensively, Orchard Farm was fine. I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: mean they had four hundred and seventy five yards of
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: offensive game and I believe they only had one turnover.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: But defensively, they just I don't know what happened. I mean,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: Moberley was three and four I think coming in this
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: game or Yeah, yeah, like they were not a good
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: team coming in this game. They had they had somewhat
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: of a hard schedule and they had to play Hillsborough, Kirksville,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Marshall or Hannibal.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: So you know, they did beat Mexico.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Who's just he's okay, I saw them against they might
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: see yes yesterday.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just that puts a very sour taste in my
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: mouth for Orchard going into the playoffs. And I still
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: think ORTR Farmer was a really good team, but that
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: that kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that's just a toughes see from the Eagles.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: And they could have had.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: They're still conference champions in their eight and one, but yeah,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: I think they really probably wanted, you know, the undefeated
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: season to validate their season at least at least until
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I mean I didn't even give a
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: thought to this game going into this you know last week?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: Did I?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: So that's why I'm more shocked because like I, like
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I said, like I knew, like there actually was a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: world where a universe where Fox could beat le dou and,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: but in this case, I never even gave a thought
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: to hit Orchard Farm losing to Moberley.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no other Sorry, I know. I hate to do
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: that TI, y'all.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: I love Orchard Farm fans, but we had to bring
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: it up. I mean, that's that's a bad loss. That's
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: a really bad loss. You can't we got to mention that.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Any other scores want to briefly go over
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: real quick?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Some It had a really probably their most complete game
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: against Rittner. They won twenty nine nothing, So I just
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to shout out Summit there for that win. I
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: think that's it from my end as well. So I
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: think Kokia they had an interesting loss against Sycamore. I
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: don't know how good they are, but I just again,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: that was a game I thought cochi It would win,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: but they didn't, and so that means they got a
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: weirdly by the way, we'll talk about it. We'll talk
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: about it. So they got an interesting game coming up
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: in class four, Yeah,
