[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report high school football fans for this week I guess I should say week for high school football games almost half way through the regular season already Michelle after this week pretty crazy and for a refresher How we do our previews and predictions we go through all of Central Indiana's games Each game is worth ten points
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The favorites are worth fewer than the underdogs, except for a handful of games, where both teams are worth five points.
1:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Those will be at the end.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We will start as we always do with the nine versus one games.
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And these are the games that we expect to be such big blowouts, no one could possibly take the other team.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: The current standings as we go, Kyle Ned and Rip of the Indian Apple Star has a one point lead over Elijah Poe of the Ball State Daily News and our Indy Car Guy.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Kade Hampton of the Muncie Star Press is in third place.
2:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 13 points behind the lead.
2:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Helferick's made a big move of late.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin, of course, of the action sports network is in fourth, Jay Stevens of the Cocomo Press is just one point behind Kevin Helferick
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle Garmin is in 7th, Sam Frick 8th, Grant Shows is 9th, and Greg Mengel is 10th.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I win these things, Michelle.
2:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't finish last.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the got to change.
2:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I'm just happy because I think I'm ahead of you two of the three we do.
2:46
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
2:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, then I felt picks was only week one, but I'm ahead of you in that, and then I'm ahead of you in the high school picks, so I do like that a little bit.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet you do, but it's not going to last very long.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Thumson's got to change today.
3:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And we start with three games that we expect to be blowouts.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: One team is worth nine.
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: The other team is worth one.
3:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Mount Vernon is Owen three.
3:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They are worth nine at three and oh, new pal.
3:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Franken is Owen three at three and oh, Mrs. Sinoa.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And Benton Central is Owen three at three and oh, Logan sport.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You're taking the favorites and all three.
3:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I am.
3:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we can make those very, those are going to be very short picks.
3:27
[SPEAKER_00]: very easy.
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Now games that are worth eight and two, the favorite is worth two points.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The underdog is worth eight.
3:34
[SPEAKER_00]: These are games that we're pretty sure is going to be lopsided in one direction, but we're not absolutely sure.
3:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So Fort Wayne Blackhawk is one and two.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: There worth eight points.
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Shenandella is worth two.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They're also one and two.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Take the upset.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.
3:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Anderson is one and two.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: There were eight points at one and two.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Shane Arnold and the Indians?
3:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I like, I really like Shane, but no, he's going to be tough life on the road this week.
4:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And Delphi is one and two, there were eight points at two and one, Carol last week.
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I might have had this as a seven and three game, but Carol looks so good last week.
4:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Delphi is okay, I would have done it two and eight, even if it had been a week ago, Carol.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: 13 games that I put one team at seven and one team at three.
4:30
[SPEAKER_00]: These are games where we're pretty sure we know who the favorite is, but should be a lot more competitive than the games we've already done.
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And we start with South Putnam, which was number one last week in Class 2A.
4:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It took a loss and overtime.
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They are worth three points Eastern Hancock started with a win.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They've lost two in a row.
4:50
[SPEAKER_00]: There were seven, take the rows in the upset.
4:54
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you know, I might have considered as had South Putnam not had the loss last week just because of the road trip because that's a, you know, it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but South Putnam is going to come loaded for Barry and I feel sorry for the Royals of Eastern Hancock.
5:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't say I feel sorry for him, but I'm taking South Putnam too.
5:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I certainly would give Eastern Hancock a fighting chance, but I'm taking South Putnam.
5:18
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of big Hamilton County rivalries this weekend Michelle including one and two noblesville at two and one Westfield have noblesville worth seven Westfield worth three any chance of the rocks no the rocks all the way one and two Zionville is worth seven at two and one Franklin Central this is when I almost put it as a six and four it's a little less than a toss up maybe
5:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it might be a love of the finessey, you know, I love the finessey family, um, typical caddy natives and, or the parents, not the boys.
5:53
[SPEAKER_02]: As much as I would love to see Zion'sville get it, I think, because it's at Franklin Central, that's who else they would.
6:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Zion'sville has a tough schedule, man.
6:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they do.
6:03
[SPEAKER_02]: By far, the small school, and they're scheduled, after they're opening the... Yeah, but I'll tell you, this, you know, that is a very tough schedule, but,
6:11
[SPEAKER_02]: that there are a team that could kind of be like Roundsburg.
6:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, but could sneak up on people on the sectional if they look at Zion'sville's record and not who they played.
6:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they are competitive with these teams, who are the band, their sectional's tough too.
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Warren Central is worth three points.
6:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Lawrence Central at home is worth seven, both teams are two and one.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Will you take the bears in the upset man?
6:35
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been really good so far.
6:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, I'm gonna tell you, Gary, this is one that I've gone back and forth and back and forth.
6:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I think these are two kind of even matched teams.
6:50
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you know, I think, I mean, lose out some, but I think I'll, I will take the upside.
6:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I will go with Lauren Central this week.
7:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, in my opinion, on that since you tell, it's probably changed every half a day.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, how am I going to catch up with you?
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We keep picking the same thing.
7:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Because so far, we've picked every single game, the same, including that upset.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Marion coming off a tough loss against Senator Grove.
7:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It gets a little easier this week, but not a whole lot, because Levinon's awfully good.
7:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Levinon's worth three.
7:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Marion at home worth seven.
7:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Marion's at home, and I know...
7:30
[SPEAKER_02]: they've got athletes and they can score quickly.
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Jim Jones, man.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Good one.
7:33
[SPEAKER_02]: But I will say this.
7:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't think there's a super discipline.
7:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I said that last year, and I think that's their weakness.
7:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take Lebanon.
7:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Lebanon may be the more disciplined team.
7:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Lebanon's pretty darn good.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a chance to be a Pinnonton Heights team that's done nothing but shut the rest of the teams out that they played.
7:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're awfully good.
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: lapel is three and oh I have the more three points at monthsy central worth seven can you we take the barricades in an upset again.
8:01
[SPEAKER_02]: No it's I'll take lapel.
8:05
[SPEAKER_02]: After what Adam central did him plenty central three after I took the barricades different.
8:11
[SPEAKER_02]: No I know that lapel is probably not quite at Adam central's level necessarily on the defensive side of the ball.
8:20
[SPEAKER_00]: they've been off a good defensively this year.
8:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know last year, but they have been with you.
8:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
8:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying I think maybe because the physicality and everything of that, but I, yeah, lapel, that offense is just so good.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Brownsburg, which I think is the best team in the state.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I've made or three point they, of course, are three and own right number one.
8:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Avan is two and one.
8:41
[SPEAKER_00]: They're at home.
8:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them were seven.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a big rivalry big conference game.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Avon is this close to being unbeaten as well and they have an impressive resume.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Will you take the Orioles?
8:53
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
8:54
[SPEAKER_02]: That Brownsburg team is the real deal.
8:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're, you know, they are almost, I mean, I don't know that they'll do the same thing that knew how did a year ago or, you know, like how we feel, but I just feel like Brownsburg,
9:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be so hard to be like new power loss just last year, it's like, and I know Yavon has had an upset, but Brownsburg's been so impressive the first late weeks.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, if it Brownsburg's not the best team in the state, it might be Senator Grove, they're at home against Ben Davis, Ben Davis.
9:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I have were seven points, they're one and two.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Senator Grove is ranked second, they're three and oh, who do you got?
9:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Senator Grove.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So far we've picked all the games the same.
9:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so disappointed in this Michelle.
9:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So Green Castle is one and two.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a Western Boone.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Also one and two don't be fooled by Western Boone's record.
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They're pretty good.
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Green Castle where seven Western Boone were three.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Who you got?
9:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Western Boone.
9:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Madison Grant has not been tested this year.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna make them the favorite on the road at Oak Hill.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna try to tempt people to take Oak Hill.
10:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Three and oh Madison Rans were three points.
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: One and two Oak Hill is worth seven.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You take the Eagles.
10:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I kind of considered it.
10:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I did consider it since Oak Hill's hosting the game.
10:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's on turn.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good O'Kill team, not like they're not capable.
10:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It's on turn.
10:25
[SPEAKER_02]: But I really believe in what Brady and Brock have collaborated on between offense, defense, dirt, mouse, and grant.
10:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they rebuilt, got them successful, and they're sustaining that success through graduation.
10:49
[SPEAKER_02]: every year.
10:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And no, I got mass in Grant.
10:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We've surely been doing this for two years.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Never have we had the same picks this long into the podcast.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Greenfield Central is where seven points.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Pinnleton Heights is where three pretty big HHC game.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Greenfield Central is really bounced back from that beach grove loss and beach grove is looking pretty good despite being awful last year.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Can they upset Pinnleton Heights?
11:17
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not at Pendleton Heights that that Arabian's team is surprisingly good and I say surprisingly only surprisingly good at this early in the season since they lost a few key pieces but they're playing very well and I don't I know that's a conference game but no I'm going with Pendleton Heights.
11:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Southern Wells is coming off a huge win over Jay County last week.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The first time they've won a conference game in five years, I believe it was.
11:49
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see if they can do it again.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them where seven points West Dell coming off a big win worth three.
11:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Can Southern Wells do it again?
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
11:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle Eastern is coming off a big win last week.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Taylor coming off a disappointing loss.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Taylor were seven points.
12:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Eastern were three.
12:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Can Taylor pull off the upset?
12:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Are they getting nothing?
12:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's put it this way.
12:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Are they capable?
12:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they're capable.
12:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Will they or can they on Friday night?
12:18
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
12:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Edwards is Eastern crew.
12:21
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the best team he's had combined on both sides of the ball.
12:27
[SPEAKER_02]: He's had some really good offensive teams and weapons and the defenses look good, but it's been susceptible because they played in the HHC that's primarily running.
12:39
[SPEAKER_02]: So when they got against teams that had a more pro style offense, they struggled.
12:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Eastern kind of runs at pro style offense now.
12:47
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got athletes on both sides of the ball.
12:51
[SPEAKER_02]: And strength, he's got strong, light and Eastern.
12:56
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, through the 9 and 1's, 8 and 2's, and 7 and 3's Michelle, we've picked exactly the same thing, which means it's going to go horribly bad for us this week, I think.
13:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But now we're down to the games that are 6 and 4 and 5 and 5, so we're going to have a lot of different ones in this one.
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yorktown is 2 and 1, and I think
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: put up an awfully good performance last week against Nupal.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Delta is one and two and got its first win of the season last week.
13:24
[SPEAKER_00]: The game is being played at Delta Michelle.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Tigers or Eagles.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably going to shock you a little bit.
13:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, don't do this.
13:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't actually believed Delta's going to win that game.
13:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that they got that first win, you know, Coach Lynch gets that monkey off his back.
13:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm picking Delta 2.
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: The next game is Shelbyville at Newcastle Shelbyville's 2 and 1.
13:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Newcastle is 1 and 2.
13:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Newcastle as a slight favorite at home.
13:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Shelbyville, we're 6 Newcastle, we're 4.
14:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm going to go with the episode again.
14:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I won't take Shelbyville.
14:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I also have Shelbyville, we're Shelbyville.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: This is getting really ridiculous.
14:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Next, Shattard is we're 6.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Cathedral is we're 4.
14:15
[SPEAKER_02]: For me, this has been the hardest game on here to really pick because I know both of them are good programs.
14:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a little concerned with cathedral just because we're not scoring the football.
14:35
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time, I just can't see cathedral having a five coming up with a 500 season.
14:44
[SPEAKER_02]: they're going to be a very hungry team so I'm going to I'm going to pick cathedral and I'm telling you I came in this close the picking shittar which is who you're probably going to pick.
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We fix them the different.
14:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so relieved Michelle now we'll probably pick different on all the rest of the games.
15:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Centerville is worth four points at Winchester worth six.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: This should be a really good one Michelle.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Who do you have the falkins or the
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Danville is at Hamilton Heights.
15:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Both teams are one and two.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Danville coming off.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It's first one of the season over Anderson.
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Worth four Hamilton Heights.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Worth six.
15:24
[SPEAKER_00]: How are you taking my show?
15:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Danville.
15:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me the huskies.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad we're going to a different direction.
15:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I really like, you know,
15:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You kind of poo-pooed them scoring a bunch of points against typical new valley, but that defense had been really good.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they've turned a corner in the defense has been pretty good all year for Hamiltonites.
15:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I think Danville presents a proud more of a challenge.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Clinton Central is two and one.
15:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They were six points.
15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Sheridan is a home.
15:52
[SPEAKER_00]: They're one and one and worth four bulldogs or blackhawks.
15:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Blackhawks, blackhawks had a week off because they were supposed to play Trace Central last week.
16:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And after coming off that thumping by Ellic, I am sure with the first year's staff having that extra time to work on things is helped and I think the Black Hawk, especially at home, they'll be ready.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna take Clinton Central, so we went a different direction.
16:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Clinton Central's better than their result showed last week, give me the Bulldogs.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Carmel is worth six points.
16:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think maybe the only time that it'll be an underdog in a game, maybe the rest of the season at Louisville Trinity worth four points.
16:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Can the Greyhound's pull off the upset over the sham rocks?
16:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna play two sham rocks this year.
16:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've got Carmel winning.
16:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Kevin Wright's has got something special down there.
16:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I really believe he's made that bigger difference.
16:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's that good.
16:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Greyhounds are playing well on both sides of the ball.
17:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with you.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I doubted Coach Wright a couple of times already this year.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to do it again.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me the Greyhounds.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: One and two Jeffersonville is at Owen 3 Cocomo.
17:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeffersonville program.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a little familiar with.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There were six points.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Cocomo is worth four.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And just let me tell you Michelle.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I'm familiar with Jeffersonville.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So give me Cocomo.
17:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Caleb's small needs to get he's due to get a win here soon.
17:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean we know it's not from a lack of effort or trying or really coaching.
17:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Really been a lot of injuries.
17:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I'm taking the Wildcats.
17:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Last game where one team is worth six and the others worth four, although our game of the week that we're going to have here at the end Michelle, that is also the case, but
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: For what we're doing right now, Blackford is on three, there were six at L Wood, which is one and two, worth four, and the Bruins pull off the upset.
17:57
[SPEAKER_02]: They possibly can, when these two teams play, it's a back and forth, it's a one possession or one score game, but it's homecoming at L Wood.
18:08
[SPEAKER_02]: No offense, Coach Morales, Panthers, but this is your last solid opportunity to get a win.
18:16
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it'll depend on Franklin's health at the end of the year on how that game will go.
18:21
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I'm taking Elwin, but I think they will get two wins.
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking Elwin as well.
18:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Six games, Michelle, our one team is worth five and the other is worth five.
18:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Two of them are games to watch.
18:40
[SPEAKER_02]: first garen Catholic at berbuff garen Catholic two and one berbuff oh and three toss up Michelle who you taking ah it is a toss up i'd normally i'd probably take berbuff i don't know that there is if there is athletic is they've been in in the past um i'll take garen i know it's it's all in row but i'll take garen i'll take garen as well
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: rivals northfield and southwood go head to head.
19:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Both teams are not very good Michelle.
19:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Both are oh and three.
19:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Northfield.
19:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take southwood.
19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I think northfield is just a little better.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Southwoods at home.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me southwood.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And the three rivers conference two and one manchester at two and one Lewis Cass.
19:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I have both teams worth five points Michelle.
19:34
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I've made a lot of trips over to Kasson, and Manchester's kind of in the boonies and Kasson's in the boonies, and Manchester's got to be the one the road.
19:41
[SPEAKER_02]: If in this game, I'm taking the home team.
19:44
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I'm taking Kasson's because they're at home, and like I said, it's hard to come out ahead against Kasson Hall and Mark.
19:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's usually, even if they're not quite as good as they're opponent, and they may lose the, but it's going to be a close one.
20:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, give me the Kings.
20:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking cast as well.
20:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Also in the three rivers conference one and two North Western is that one and two Peru I think it's a toss up Michelle Tigers or Tigers Hey, how about we just get a ride and say the Tigers move in Not gonna let you do that.
20:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I said both of us.
20:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I was wondering if we won't can do that Oh next game you can do that if you want this is it this is a tough
20:28
[SPEAKER_02]: game.
20:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what to think.
20:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, probably Northwestern probably has maybe more talent, but you know, Peru had a big win last weekend.
20:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Tipped and I think play pretty well and handled them in the scrimmage to start the season.
20:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's hard, but I'll take Peru because they're at home.
20:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take Northwestern, but I don't trust that I think this is a true toss up.
20:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree, and that's why I'm just flipping to home team.
20:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Big, big, who's your crossroads game and one of the games to watch this week?
21:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe two championship contender level teams, three in O'Hamilton, South Eastern, at two and one fishers, Michelle, the Royals, or the Tigers.
21:15
[SPEAKER_02]: it's the mud sock game folks it's the mud sock game and though i will say this there's one thing you will know about the mud sock game it is going to be packed both sides will fill their stands and you know folks you know that our listeners probably all know that they're part of the same school corporation i don't know if they really realize how close those two school high school are
21:44
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's truly a rivalry.
21:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm still not always sure how their description goes.
21:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I have cousins that live down there.
21:51
[SPEAKER_02]: But I've got fissures.
21:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're the home team.
21:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I've tended to kind of own that mudstock game here of late, my cousin Will, he'd be play soccer, not football.
22:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That fissure, so, but I'll choose fissures.
22:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Jason Urban, former titan,
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a football coach and do you ever just pick games because you think one of the teams is going to win or is it always because you know somebody?
22:16
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, I think Fisher is just going to win but I want to shout out to the people I know that go there.
22:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So Michelle, I'm sorry to inform you that Hamilton South Eastern is winning this game.
22:27
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we'll see.
22:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Our last game to watch before we get to our game of the week Michelle last week.
22:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not think was going to be a game to watch but now suddenly is
22:38
[SPEAKER_00]: two and one tipped in at two and one Western.
22:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a toss up to you dare take the Panthers.
22:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's what's funny about that.
22:45
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been talking about them and I forgot that Austin Colby is the coaching of the Western this year.
22:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I forgot that they had another new coach who, you know, the Colby's had dad and son had success at Cocoa Mall.
23:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, that said, I've always known this about a toll coach to team.
23:05
[SPEAKER_02]: If you are pretty much one-dimensional unless you are overpowering big, that tolls, usually come up with pretty good defensive scheme.
23:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Westerns back to the Colby style, the tight bunch, I guess they tried to spread it and run the spread offense last year.
23:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Not doing that, I think Tipton's defense.
23:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Twin Lace has success because they were able to spread,
23:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Tippens defense all across the field.
23:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they really opened up the middle of the field.
23:37
[SPEAKER_02]: They could throw the ball.
23:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take Tippin.
23:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I like their defensive front line.
23:42
[SPEAKER_02]: If Western tries to get outside, I like Tippin's blind backers and corners, especially outside, I think Zane Durham is a sophomore's playing very well.
23:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Chase Hussies in the middle, we know how good he is.
23:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think you'll see Tippin go to a four, four, three, because Western is not a big,
24:02
[SPEAKER_02]: team and so that it gets them an extra guy in a box.
24:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take I'm going to take blue devils in but it is a tough one for me especially because the game is at Western really good at really good athlete running back in McKintrick.
24:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He is really good and glad he is back in healthy and running them all for the two hundred ninety yards.
24:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and I talked to Quintole last night because he was waiting on his dad to get out of coach's meeting at the soccer match so I sat down
24:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Quincy the mechanic is really really good and you know I'm gonna say this to this game and it means a little bit more to the tolls because Quincy mom teaches at Western and like teaches at Western and I'll tell you what you know AJ doesn't like
24:49
[SPEAKER_02]: to have to go in the blue devils to lose and have to go to school on Monday.
24:54
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's always better in the total household when the blue devils win anyway, but especially when they beat Western because that means he jays in a much better mood.
25:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think she's actually gets excited to go into school on Monday.
25:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, our game of the week is what I would probably call our first really big game
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We think that there are probably four elite teams in the conference, two of them are going head to head both of them are three in a Alexandria at Eastbrook.
25:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I give Eastbrook a slight edge with four points.
25:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I make Alexandria a worst six tigers or panthers, Michelle.
25:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
25:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say this game will probably be a lot closer because it has last few years.
25:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And Alexandria has one, the regular season match up.
25:48
[SPEAKER_02]: restrate years.
25:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's because of their ability to throw the football and the speed on the outside.
25:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if Eastbrook has had a weakness in the past, it's against passing.
26:00
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time, I think Eastern strength is maybe a little bit of Alexander's weakness
26:16
[SPEAKER_02]: up-tempo, no-huddle style of offense that East Brook runs, and they haven't faced a quarterback as athletic as Bernie Hall.
26:26
[SPEAKER_02]: A very guest, better throw, better pastor.
26:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Bernie Hall, and I know Bernie Gaskin run, but Bernie Hall is just, you give him an open space.
26:36
[SPEAKER_02]: He's one of those great high-end school athletes.
26:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Unquestionable at the best two quarterback in the past.
26:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yes, unquestionably
26:45
[SPEAKER_02]: That's two quarterbacks in the conference.
26:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's being played at East Brook.
26:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say the pan is bright pink, I think it's maybe a type of, you know, anywhere from one to seven point spread.
26:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And if East Brook, with thumbs up like that would be a lot of be a little bit either way, be a little bit of a surprise to me.
27:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I just believe at East Brook because the way they've done
27:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate, you know, with Honeyton North and, um, concordia with athletes, they're better tested and better prepared going into this match.
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's booked away in the CIC before the season.
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I have seen nothing that has persuaded me from sticking with that pick, except Mr. Sunwall being really good.
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: A massive grant being really good as well.
27:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And Alexander had been really good but,
27:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna stick with my pick, I agree with you.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty close to 50, 50.
27:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm gonna stick with you for the win.
27:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna stick with you when the conference, the man.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very possible we're gonna have a three-way tie at the top.
27:53
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that easily could, I mean, that can happen.
27:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Say, he's perfect, L8 can now it turns around and beat Mrs. Zinnowall.
28:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And beat, they beat maybe the Madison Grand, Mrs. Zinnowall beats East Brook.
28:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like four really even teams and Oak Hill is probably capable of building any of them.
28:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we said earlier, I thought those four were up here and Oak Hill is just a half a level.
28:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean a couple levels to the mix.
28:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I think Oak Hill because I just think they are capable of running the table in the CIC.
28:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the other four could run the tape, you know, could run the table if they stay healthy.
28:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And Michelle Friday night, you and I will talk about all of it.
28:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for your time.
28:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a lot of fun.
28:48
[SPEAKER_00]: As always, let's do it again next week.
28:50
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we will.
28:53
[SPEAKER_00]: This central onion, a sports report, is a product of ITG media, and I love Susie.
