• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is the Gateway Sports Venue Show. I'm John Huff
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: joined by Roman Bishop. Thank you all for joining us
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: as we are going to break down what all transpired
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: in Week twelve of the football season here in the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis Area District championship weekend. And I think it
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: was an all timer. Oh yeah, I really believe it
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I mean it was by far the best week of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the year so far. And I mean, shot, we had
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: three overtime games on the Missouri side.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever happened in one night, just
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in one area at least. Yeah, that was pretty insane.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Some other close finishes, some crazy plays, some track meets,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: some upsets, just a crazy, crazy day overall, and we're trying.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: To talk about it. Yeah. I mean I've I've not
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: had the time to go back and look at this,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: but three overtimes in one round and that might be
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a record for MISHA playoff history, regardless of class including
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you can go back to the playoffs from you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight through two thousand eleven until they switch
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it in twenty twelve to now. I don't think there's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: ever been this many playoff games in one night. Especially
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like later like later on as the you know, because
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: there's less less and less games each week. So that's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it was pretty amazing how that all transpired. So there's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of games that we could start out with,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: but I think we gotta we gotta talk about the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: game that probably yet most people are talking about, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that's CBC winning an absolute track meet, the track meet
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of all track meets.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Tackling was optional in this one, tax wins seventy seven
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to sixty two. It looked somewhat tame after the first
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: quarter when CBC was up seven to zero and then
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Lafayette struck twice did they take a lead fourteen to seven,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and then these two teams trailed scores the rest of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the first half, and it was just touchdowns.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: From all over the place.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, reading the entire stat shoot on this would
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: probably take you about ten.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Minutes because there's just so many different scores.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it started with a Vic Williams run and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: then a Cody Keen running because seven, and then Lafia
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: had a seventy five yards scoop and score touchdown by
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Baron James, and then Vic Williams got another score, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: then Zach Tobin got a receiving touchdown from Brady Mesack
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: for Lafayette, and then Vick Williams gets a ninety two
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: yard kioff from touchdown and then on the very next kick,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Tim Washington returns it back for Lafayette, and then Nick
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: McClellan gets a rush touchdown for himself, and then Brady
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Mesak gets rushing touchdown and then Nick McClellan ties it
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: at the end of the first half.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was just the first half. Oh gosh, that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: second quarter was unbelievable.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Now for the second half, this is when CBC really
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: took control. I mean for the first half their CBC
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was kind of playing catch up the whole time.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Lafayette had the lead for like for just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know a few times there, and they.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Kept trading blows and then ultimately the CBC offense was
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: just too much for the Lancers to handle. Courty Gage
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: start out the third quarter with a touchdown from Nick
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: McClellan less than two minutes in, and then they got
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a quick stop from the Lafiette offense and then come
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: back and Vic Williams gets gets another score and then
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Tim Washington was able to get the nand zone again
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: for the Lancers, but then the CBC scored it again,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: this time with the Courtney Rivers touchdown. So that gave
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: CBC a fourteen point game going into the fifteen point
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: league going into the fourth quarter, and each team scored
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns to the fourth quarter. And while it did
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: get close to the fourth quarter, it just Lafayette simply
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: could not make a stop. Yeah, outside of the first quarter,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: they just could not stop.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You guys have got onto a theme here. Yeah, it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: couldn't get a stop.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: There's a reason I had been calling CBC's offense the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: best in the Midwest for a while. Now I didn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: see the best team because this defense does have some
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: question marks and Lafia does have a good offense. But
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: sixty two points to anybody is that's a lot. But man,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: CBC vic Williams so right now. So he just had
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: thirteen carries for one hundred and ninety four yards, and.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's crazy in this game, he still only had thirteen care.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he had one two. I gotta count it
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: over here because it didn't have the number one, two, three, four.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: He had five touchdowns on the game, four in the ground,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: one for a kicker turn. Oh gosh, and so I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: will actually just looked at the MISSI stats on this.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: If Tim Washington keeps his current pace, Williams, Vick Williams,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: thank you, I don't know. Yeah, there's so many names.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I'm looking right now because I'm many guys scored. If
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Vic Williams keeps his pace, so he's at thirteen point
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: nine yards per carry right now, that would be third
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: all time in state history for yards per carry in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a season. And I mean he had thirteen carries for
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety four yards for fourteen point nine
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: yards per carry this game, which is just crazy. As
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a team, CBC had thirty seven carries for four and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: seventy eight yards and thirteen yards of carry, which is
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that's insane. That's insane, especially when you look at takes
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: your breath away.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Literally.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Other solid teams that have played Lafiat this year. LA
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: has been solid all year.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Look at like ringing the balls and running the ball
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: against Lafayette.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They were going into the playoffs averaging less than surrendering
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: less than ten points a game.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they had held some offenses like Kirkwood and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Eureka to poor rushing attacks. But the CBC athletes, man,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: they're just different. They're just completely different. And I said
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in our pregame show a Kirkwood that if the second
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that either Vick Williams or Nick McClellan gets in space
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: is over, it is game over and they're gonna they're
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: gonna find their way to the end zone. McClellan himself
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: had a fantastic game, which is not a surprise. He
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: had eighteen carries for two hundred yards, averaging over eleven
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: yards per carry, ten to twelve, throwing the ball for
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty two yards, one touchdown in one interception,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: but he kind of made up for because he himself
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: picked off Brigi Messa I think in the second quarter
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: is what it was.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That might have been one of the biggest players of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the game right there.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. So he's just again player of a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: year in Class six. I mean, he's just doing it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: all over the place. And you know, Cordy Gage just
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: get again another solid game, returning it, kicking it as
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a receiver, everything. And CBC had seven sacks this game,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: so even though defensively they allowed a lot, Jake Summers
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: had four sacks just by himself. So that's that's pretty insane,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that one guy getting four sacks in the game. Coral
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and Collins led the Cadets with fourteen tackles, So just
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: even though defensively they allow a lot of points, they
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: still were able to kind of stack the statu sheet.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I say surprising because when you your defense gives
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: up sixtywo points, it's a little you don't You probably
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: don't think there was how many sacks four.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Seven sacks as a team. Plumber first had.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Four by himself. Yeah, so you wouldn't expect seven sacks
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: as a team when you give up sixty two points.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well for LAF Yet offensively they had
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they had a great game obviously. I mean they had
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: four hundred and sixty nine total yards of offense.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Me six with fifty fifty four.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Pass passing the ball three nfty nine yards, four touchdowns,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: just one interception. We couldn't really get a run game going,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: which had been an issue all year, but they hadn't
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: really had to deal with that that much because their
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: passing attack was so efficient and offensively there's really no
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: complaints for off yet. I mean, you put up sixty
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: two points that should win you any game you play.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But this might be the first one of the first.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I know, there's been some other really high scoring games.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: This has got to be one of them. Handful of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: times in state history where a team has scored over
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: sixty points and lost.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is insane. I mean, this is absolutely insane.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: This is again a year where I mean, no one
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: outside of probably Raven Gap has given CBC a run
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for the money like this so far this year. Ravend
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Gap being the Georgia team that CBC played back in
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Week six that was really close and back and forth game.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And you know this smet last week was kind of close,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: somewhat close, but CDC was in control really the entire time.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: But almost the whole second cord of CBC was one
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: playing catch up. Yeah they were, and you know, they're
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: an extremely talented and disciplined team, so they came back
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and kept firing. And congratulations and the Cadets for winning
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: getting to eleven to zero winning the Classic District two championship.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: They are now in the quarterfinals where they will go
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to Jackson.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I gotta say real quick, there was one eighty nine
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: combined total yards in this game. With CBC getting six
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty in Lafayette for sixty nine.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: So one mile is five two hundred and eighty feet.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So there were zero point six one eight miles of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: total offense this game.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: That's a heck of a step. That is insane.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That doesn't even include the return touchdowns, which there was
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: two return touchdowns and even more returning yards.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: As well, we know, so okay, so there was also,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, seventy five yard film recovery by Baron
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: James of Lafayette and then yeah, the ninety two yard
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: kickoff return by Vick Williams in a ninety eight yard
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: kickoff return by Tim Washington. So if you add those in, yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you're closer. You're closer to a mile right there. So yeah,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: we're we were fortunate to have. So if you include
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: game and film itself.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: If you include the fumble and the two kicker turns,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that's over three quarters of a mile of yards this game. Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: that's insane. That's totally insane. Well, yeah, I can again correct.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to CBC. They continue their magical season where they
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: just continue to offensively lay waste to However, they go
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: up against I for Lafayette. I mean, I hate saying this,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: but we kind of saw this coming from week one
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: when the brackets came out, where we knew the Lances
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: were a heck of a team, heck of a team,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: an amazing, amazing football team ten and zero up to
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: this point of the season, and they just get a
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: bad break and get stuck in a tough district. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they had plenty of amazing wins this year. The forty
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: five zero wing is Parkway North especially give them with
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: parkle Ons Sor right now, that's a huge win. In
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: week three, beating Pattonville, another district champion, the turbo'clock, then
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: winning winning the Battle of one one nine is always
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: gonna be huge for them, and then beating Slew High
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: in a close playoff game, that's huge. So congratulations the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Lancers on a really, really good season. I know this
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: is definitely not how they imagine going out, but I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: think it's a program that's really put themselves at the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: in the upper TI year programs.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Even Saint Louis Area first year coach Kurt Mueller, I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: think he might. I think for me he's a front
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: runner to win the Coach of the Year in the area.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's other guys, but to do
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this in your first year, you know at Lafayette and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you know, come over and take over seamlessly and you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: fit right in immediately is extremely impressive. And I mean
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: this was I think this is one of Lafia's best
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: ever teams. And unfortunate, unfortunately they didn't win it DISCRIC Championship.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But but this this team deserved to you know, go far,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and they just you know, were given a tough draw.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And that's the way it goes a lot of times, actually,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and especially well at least given where you're located. It
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: does happen all the time. And unfortunately for Lafayette, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: just got a tough break having to go up against CVC.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And it would have been a tough break, really tragic
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if CBC loss as well, you know, because this is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: two really good teams, probably two of the top five
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: best teams of the state having to play each other.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It's brutal.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Hate to see it, but that's the reality. And c
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: He's got a very interesting game next week that we'll
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: talk about next episode, but actually just very briefly, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: guess we'll mention that they'll play Jackson. Jackson defeated Northwest
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: seventy to seven. Yes you've heard that credit yea seventy
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to seven.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So we got two teams who play in the quarterfinals
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: who are coming off of seventy ball performances. Yeah, that's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that's crazy.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So hopefully an interial game. They're in the Classics quarter finals.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You think it would be two teams scoring seventy points
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in both their games to win the district championships.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Next up, two games that we were both at first
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and we'll talk about was Eureka at Kirkwood. Kirkwood wins
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the Class five District two championship with the final score
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: of twenty one to ten.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And this Kirkwood defense man they had a great game.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you look at the Kirkwood offense, I think,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, the message I think with the Kirkwood offense
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: is they did what they were supposed to do and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they did enough to win, which you know, they had
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a good game. You know, they didn't do anything crazy.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think Ko Browens had a fantastic game.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Twenty four to thirty one, two and seventy one yards,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns, zero interceptions, you know, twenty one points isn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: going to be what you expect, especially for mcgrag offense
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: like this. But this Kirkwood defense has been a unit
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that's been getting better and better as the leagu's go on.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And I think one of the biggest things for them
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: when I was watching is just the way they're The
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: player cognition from the linebackers is pretty elite, and the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: way they fill holes and shed blocks is very impressive.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: And the way they were able to just totally stuff
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Rika's running game was pretty impressive.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kirkwood, I feel that's the type of thing you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: typically see out of Kirkwood linebackers for every year. Really,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they're really they're really well coached defensively, and you know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they don't really it's been a lot, it's been a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: while since they've had, you know, a linebacker and or
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a defensive lineman you know, get heavily recruited. But they're
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: just always so disciplined in that area. And then obviously
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Jacob bieber Hard on defense safeties committed to committed to Illinois,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: so it helps to have them back there too, And
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they're just they were always well coached on defense, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I think they always kind of fly a little unto
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the radar because everybody likes to talk about their offense,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and yeah, for good reason too, but this is this
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is a game where Kirkwood's defense won them the game.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure. Just look at the offensive stats for Eureka.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I should see the lack thereof of offensive stats. They
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: held the Wildcats to one hundred and twelve totally one
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and fifty two yards to total offense, excuse me, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: less than four yards of carry. They held Patch Cutchcraft
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: a six to fourteen passing fifty five yards, one touchdown,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: zero in receptions, and kirkerd was just giving Eureka fits
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: all night, especially the past the coverage game.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It felt like all of you, I feel.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Like Eureka's only chance of trying to establish a past
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: game was through the play action and then hoping their
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: shot play was open. And a lot of times that
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Kirkwood safety was whether it was Eberhart or whatever else
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: was out there, was able to recognize it pretty well.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Get over, make a play on the ball, deflect it away.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean really outside of the very first
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: drive for Eureka where they were able to come down
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and score. By the way, the Craig Ringky. He scored
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the only touchdown for the Rothcats, and Ringky had one
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: of the greatest punting games I've ever seen in my life.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I do have a shot that. Yeah, he had one
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: punt that went like right out the one yard line.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I think he had four punts inside the Kirkwood ten.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I mean really, that was the only reason Eureka was
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: staying in the games because in the second half Kirkwood
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: had so many long, long fields to deal with.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kirk would won the field possession game in the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: second half. Yeah, both you and I are off to go.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It starts on this podcast so far.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I mean well, the score halftime was twenty
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: one to seven Kirkwood, and then Eureka field goal in
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the third quarter where they almost scored on a trick
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: play touchdown, which would have changed the dynamic of the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: entire game. We had to settle for a field goal.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It was a really good last second, you know, effort
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: play by a Kirkwood defender to bat the ball down. Yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the zone.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And I must say the play that set up Eureka
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was it was a screen pass out to Colin Griffin
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and the referees ruled to the backwards pass in the fosse.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah I was.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I was standing not the line of scrimmage, but right
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: at the yard line where Cooper Owens was and it
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: looked like it was a forward pass. It looked like
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: it was just from my point of view. I'm not
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: gonna say. I mean, it doesn't matter because Kirper won
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the game, but that was a huge break for Eureka,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and whenever you get given a big break like.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: That, you have to take the manage.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And they couldn't do it. I mean, the field goal
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: is nice, but that was too little, too.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Late, and it was still a two score game and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they you know, had to go back and do it
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: all over again, you know when they got the ball back,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and obviously their offensive stats kind of bear out that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: they struggled a lot. So yeah, they if they would
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have they would have been able to get a touchdown
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on that drive. It would have completely changed the game.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Who knows what happens, but you know, you can still
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: default to Kirkwan's defense probably gets a job done either way.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, dantown Berry the defensive line, Kirkwood had
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: an unbelievable game, eight tackles, one sack that sack was
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: huge too. It was already on a third down and
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: created a fourth and long which force Eureka punt in
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the second half. And you almost never see eight tackles
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: from an interior defensive lineman. That's very hard to do.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: An incredible game by Barry and the rest of the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Kirkwood defense as well. So yeah, I congrast for the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Pioneers is their second straight district title and they're gonna
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: move on to play at Farmington that's coming Saturday, so
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that should be an interesting game.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be not too not that far. No,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's it's in Saint Francis, Saint Francois County.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: It's not you know, Jackson County where Cape Gerardo and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you know you're you're thoroughly in southeastern Missouri there. But yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: so you're not not not far away. And I'm sure
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the Kirkwood fans are going to travel really well.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Look it up right now, the drive from Kirblin High
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: School to Farmac. Okay, it's an hour and seven minute drive.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's not bad at all. Yeah for playoff for
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you know, playoff driving, and my serious concerns where you're
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you're more apt to like, Okay, we're willing to drive
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a little further here. It's fine.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, you could be West Plains and having to drive
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: four and a half hours up to Hannibal this coming weekend.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So one in seven minutes is nothing.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: No, it's not, especially for Saturday.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: That's not bad at all. Absolutely all right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: The second game that we were at, Breeze Central they
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: are going to the Final four for the first time
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: in school history. They defeat the Kajoki Commanchi's thirty five
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to twelve.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Six to twelve. That's right, today has thirty five twelve.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I see thirty six. We were there. I knew that,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: but I was deceived by the stel Today.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I got the game it fresh in my mind because
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I was able to get the game out a little
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like an hour or so before we started recording.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So we were both there yesterday, and I think the score,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Really really close game the first half seven to sixth
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Central lead at halftime, and then you.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Know, the Kokia passing game was pretty good.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, for.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Somehow Nigel Gooden has his arm is unbelievable. I mean
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: he made a throw. I think it was too it
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't a Hartle's home and it was too was.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It Mkai Henderson?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: No, there was somebody else on the right side, but
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: he was getting Goodan was flushed out of the pocket,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: running backwards to his right side like throws. It completely
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: off his back foot thirty five yards downfield and it
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: was a perfect throw for a first down. Unbelievable throw and.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: It was I was a little skeptical at the time, like,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was that a you know with the receiver get a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: foot in and he did, Yeah, it's on video, it's
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: on camera, so did get a foot and so it
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: was that was just a really.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Really awesome play. It was either the Henderson or Collier
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: or judas to one of them.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: It was Collier. Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: But their their passing game was good, but ultimately the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: brief central defense, their pass rush was great. They were
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: giving good fits all game, and the brief central defense
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: just totally stopped the command She's rushing attack.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a huge key.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Cokyo really couldn't run the ball all game, and.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: They tried to and maybe a little too long, I guess.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But and and Brie central the quite opposite. I mean
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Cole Davis see him dog Oh, my gosh, this kid
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: makes so many plays on offense and defense. I mean
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: he's not the tallest guy. I think he's like five eight. Yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: he's like five eight and probably one hundred and sixty
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: five pounds. It was just pure muscle. I mean, the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: kid's an absolute tank. I mean, you got to give
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: credit to the Brief Central offensive line here. The way
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: they were able to make blocks on the linebackers was
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: really good. This game just fired off the ball low
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and fast. Every single play was really impressive. And you know,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: with that combined with you know, Davis's running ability and
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: owen career is running ability as well. I mean there
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: were a lot of design QB runs where he was
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: able to be shifty and escape the linebackers and get
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: you know, a first down pickup. And yeah, this is
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a really good Brief Central team. And there were several
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: drives where Da didn't even didn't even attempt to pass
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and got down the field pretty easily, which against a
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Kahuka team that has some pretty good size, it's pretty impressive.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Size and very fast. Yeah, and yeah, that was you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: but fortunately for Central, they got some speed as well
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and they were able to kind of count you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: counteract that a little bit, and you know, they had
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: some they had some nice pass plays from you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Bryce Water he had a big catch, and then Colin
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Harror had a few big catches and and then probably
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the well, the highlight
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: of the game is is just pure, pure highlight. Theatrix
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: was the reverse touchdown pass I was hoping you'd say
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that from Owen Carreer to Cole Davis and and and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: then Davis he made like a few Kohokia defenders miss
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and you know, he was you know, he's built like
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: a tank, but he's also shifty, and yeah, he's he's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: got really good balance and you were able to kind
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of see his kind of full athletic display on that
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: play there. And so he finished the game with four
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and then also an a really key interception as
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: well right before halftime that stopped a Kohokia drive. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: uh so, yeah, he was he was all over the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: place doing a lot and you know he was he
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: had the you know, he was tired a little bit,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah he was able to get you know, you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: get some get some air whenever they needed him to.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And they just they they just they need his energy
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and he he provided it and in a lot of
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: different ways in the game. And that was Yeah, really
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: impressed with Central and you know they everything, they're kind
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of hopped up as and you know they they lived
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: up to it. You saw, we both were really impressed
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: with them.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they could easily, you know, because the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: way they got pieced up the field by that Commansions
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: passing attack. They could have just been like, darn, yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: this is too bad. It's gonna be a shootout, this
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: is gonna suck. But now they came back strong, tied
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: up on coverage, then offensively just really set the tone
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: with a running game and dominated. Really that second half
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: was just total dominant.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the second half they had a little some difficulty
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: moving the football. In the first half. They actually they
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: were really close of getting a touchdown the first drive
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and weren't able to score, and yeah, I think went
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: were stopped a few other times. But then yeah, they
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: were able to finally get a well, they had a
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: really fortuitous play on a punt where they returned it
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and then there was a face mask on that, so
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: they got a actually really good field position down to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the cokit eighteen yard line to start their drive and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they scored on that, so yeah, but it took it.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't go for they went the entire
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: first half of that I ember actually scoring on you
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: know where they started a drive on their own end
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of the field. But yeah, the second half they were
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: able to pretty much do whatever they wanted.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, the Cougar is climb to eleven to one.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: They will play at Rochester for the Class four Final.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Four in Illinois.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: That should be a heck of the game and for Kahokia,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: you know, a really tough way to go out. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: this is something that we haven't talked about much, but
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: something I really noticed after this game is that the
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: playoffs are so exciting because there's so many great games,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: so many great teams winning these games and going on
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to play better teams.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: But for every wine, there's a loser.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: And for a lot of these boys, this is their
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: last football game they're ever going to play, and you've
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: got a lot of them just crying their eyes out
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: after the game ends, which you know I did that
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: after my season ended my senior year, my junior year
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: as well, and you just hate to see it, but
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: it just shows to you the emotional impact that football
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: has in these boys and just being on a team,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: being part of that community is so huge for them.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: And that's the life, and that's great. It's it's it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: great to see these boys do their absolute best to
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: put off the community. And Kokia had a great crowd
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: there too as well, which is great. Both both teams said,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: great crowd, there's a crowd. Great crowds there. I mean, shoot,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: bree Central had they had more fans. They was insane
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: many fans they had. It was incredible. But I mean
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: for Kahokia, I think they had a fantastic season and
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: you look it up after the game. Almost all their
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: big contributes are coming back next season.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: They have Nigel Goodin's back, They have a really really
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: good junior class, and all their athletes are coming back.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Like you know, Nigel Gooden, he's a junior. Donald Collier
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: junior is a junior. Hardles Holman, who have both their
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: touchdowns in the game, he's a junior. Cortes Rose, he's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: a junior. These are their wide receivers. Yeah, Tyree Kynes
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is a junior. So that's the four. All four receivers
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: are back and then Makai Henderson, they're running back. He's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: back as a junior too, So I think this is
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: they have they have the talent to make it to
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a to a Final four game. I don't know, I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: don't know about their lineman. I'm just looking at their
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: immediate athletes right here. But and then even their linebacker.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: We've got an All State armorable mentioned Milieu Mszoon. He's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a he's a junior too, and he's got he's one
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: of the leaders in the area and tackles. So they
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: got all their they got all their big players coming back.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I think for Kahokia, if they if next year they
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: can just be ab the fire out a little bit
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: faster off the line offensively on the offensive line because
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: they got they got great size. In the old line,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: they just seemed a little slow, especially in the second half. Yeah,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: they got decent size, but they just I mean, because
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: if they can bring back the guys they can and
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: just be a little more athletic up front, then they
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: could be a serious problem next season.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's that's that's that's exciting right there for them.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And you know, you're they're.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Getting a new school building as well, so a lot
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: of exciting to Golm's down there.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Look, I didn't even we didn't even know about that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I'm usually, you know, aware of that, and I'm fair
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a whole. And he's another linebacker who's back. I mean, okay,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: they got a pretty ridiculous junior class right here. It's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: they got so many guys who who they like. All
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: their best players are juniors on their team pretty much.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: So yeah, good for them. They're they're gonna be back.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Zenke mccolor, he's a defensive tackle, he's back
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: for them too. And then also Ernest Winters, he's a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: he's a six foot two, one hundred andy pound of
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: freshman safety and he was he was pretty good. He
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: caught my eye in the game as well. So yeah,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a lot to look forward to for Khokah next year.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but for Central, great, just awesome victory for
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: them too, in order to do that and go on
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the road to Kahokia and beat those guys who, yeah
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: they might be looks like they're a year away from
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: being really good, but they're still quite a good team
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: this year for them, So for them, they will you
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: go on the road and beat them by a considerable margin.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Is very, very impressive.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Kurt Mueller at Lafayette as a Coach of
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the Year candidate. You'd have to Brian Short up there
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: as well for the way that you know, some personal
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: things because he's had to deal with this year, this
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: this past week especially, and just to just the way.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many great football communities around our area,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: but Breece Central is a special one for sure.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you finally got to kind of see
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: it up close.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I unfortunately can't go to the game
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: this weekend and it wouldn't even be at brief Central,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: which is too bad. But hopefully next season I can
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: take my way out to bree Square game. And just
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the way that whole community is coming together for that
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: team is really incredible. I mean, it's it's it's a
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: sight to see. And to get them to the final
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: fool for the first time in the school history is
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: really really impressive. And hopefully they could take the magical run. Mean,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: that would be that'd be super cool to see.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: It would be great. And you know, they've been knocking
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: out the door for the last few seasons and they
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, I was a little worried going into
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: this well last year because they didn't make it. They
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: were undefeated and make it to the final four. I
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: was a little afraid of like, oh, this might be,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it might be, it might be a few years until
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they get another one, because this looks like a pretty
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: special team here. But no, I mean this is I
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: mean that was a special team. But this team is
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: just as good as is last year, and they also
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: look better, which is you know, really it just it
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: just goes to show that these guys are coached really well,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and they're blessed with a lot of good natural athletes
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that come through the program and into into their community.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: They're really good at raising them. You know, it all
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: all starts at home ultimately, and so that's that they
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: got a lot going for them in Central. And this
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: is actually the fourth uh sorry, this is the fourth
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: season out of five years that they've gone to the quarterfinals.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Are better and now we can say better because now
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they're in the final fourth, which is which is awesome.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, like I said, they've been they've been knocking
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: at the door for the last really the last five years,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and so this is an extremely accomplished senior class that
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: they have right here. Uh and you know, and also
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I think you know, they probably their playoff experience really
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: helped them and win that game too. Not that Cohokia
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't have experience, because they actually were that that's that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that's actually the second year in the road they've lost
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in the quarterfinals, so that's the experience wasn't lacking for
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: both teams necessarily. But yeah, but for Central I get
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you know, they've just they've they've had guys who've been here,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you know, throughout their program, you know, just about every season.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely a big thing that helped them out there.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: All right, next game, Lift for Life The Hawks defeat
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Valley Catholic forty to thirty four. Lift for Life are
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: your Class three District two champions, and this is a
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: game where Lift for Life just came out early and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: to the tone offensively. First score of the game was
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: a Phoenix I AA passed the TJ Wolfolk and then
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: while Valley Catholic was able to answer.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: This is a pretty crazy first quarter.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: It was a very this is the craziest first quarter in.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: The area, I would say, not the second, not the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: craziest second quarter, because that title belongs to CBC Lofaiette.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, easily be a TJ. Wolfeld touchdown, and then Valley
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Catholic comes back and scores, so they took a seven
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: to six lead, and then the very next play, Achillian
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Hunterson gets to send the eight yard kickoff touchdown and
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the go for two, so they're up fourteen to seven,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and then Valley Catholic gets another touchdown their next drive.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: This is still in the first quarter, so it's fourteen
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: to fourteen, and then Lift Life gets the ball back.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: It's a really quick score. Another pass touchdown from Phoenix
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Isaiah to seven Jackson's make it twenty to fourteen, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Vali Kathocks scores again before the first quarter ends, so
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: it's twenty one to twenty Valid Catholic going into the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: second quarter. But ultimately the Lift Life offense was just
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: too much of Vale Catholic to handle and the Hawks
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: defense really crack down, which is really really good to
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: see because fortunately for I mean, it's funny enough like
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: this is the second week in a row where Lifter
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Life has allowed three touchdowns in the first quarter, but
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: last week they didn't score it all, so they were
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: in a big hole. This week they were able to answer.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: This week they were able to score first, so Valle
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Catholic had the answer. So both weeks their defense really
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: improves as the game goes on. But this time an
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: offense starts hot as well.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And look at the.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Rest of the wave of for Lift for Life. If
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: their offense can start off this hot every game, they
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: got to be a favorite twin Class three.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I mean they already are.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: They're so talented. I mean Isaiah is continuing to impress.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Eighteen of twenty three for him one hundred and eighty yards,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns at zero interceptions, and then running the ball
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Javian Scott seven Jackson. That's solid games one hundred and
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: thirty four yards combined between the two of them. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: again it's stuff we say a lot about Lift for Life.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It's just tons of athletes.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: All over the place.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: And they mean on kickoff, turning touchdowns, on when you're
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: close to the field, you're on the goal line, when
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: you're forty yards downfield, they can score from anywhere. I mean,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable the amount of athletes they have, and defensively
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: for them to lock up when they did was so huge,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: just to to go into the going a halftime with
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the lead, that's so big. And then to go into
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter with a two score league that's also huge.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: And even though Valley Catholic was kind of able to
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: figure out offensively because Lift for Life had the breathing
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: room and the ability.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: To keep scoring, that was so huge.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: And shout out to Sean Strickland who had a massive,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: biggest fourth game that that that that that is the
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: biggest play of the game. That's the biggest play of
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Lyft lifed program in a while. I mean to get
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: that play when it happened. I mean, if you look
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: at the game, So the Lift for Life was up,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: was it thirty four to twenty one going into the
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, and then Valley Catholic scores to make it
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: twenty seven to thirty four, and they get they get
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the ball back, they're driving potential to tie the game.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Boom pick six, Lift Life backup by two scores, and
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: by that point Valley Catholic needs a miracle. They don't
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: get it. So congratulations to Live for Life and winning
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: this one huge, huge game. I know I picked them
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: to win, which this game was tough. It took me
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: a few days to pick to figure out who I
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: would picked this game, because these are two really good teams.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: But for the Hawks, they continue to battle it out
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and win this one and now they will be able
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: to get dexter. I can't stay at home, but it's
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: at Melville, which is kind of their home way.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, which is good.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Melville is their pseudo home field. That's that's usually
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: where they decide to play home games whenever they get
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: the chance.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, which is a very winnable game as well.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, Live for Life absolutely has the edge in
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: that one, So that would be super cool to see
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: us get Left for Life in the semi finals again. Yeah.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Coach Woolfolk just continues to do a fantastic job of
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: there with those boys, and just the buying from the
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: boys themselves as well is so huge because that's there's
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: something that's setting themselves apart from other Cities schools and
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: that the boys and their families as well are just
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: really buying into the program and just willing able to
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: spend the time and effort to better themselves and make
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the team better as well. And it's just so cool
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to see and yeah, progress with the Hawks and moving
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: on and should be a fun ONOW next week.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. It's a I think it's
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: probably a more favorable matchup again despite going up against
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you know, Saint Jen Viv the Valley Catholics. So yeah,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I think early indications I like lived for life in
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that game against Exter and and yeah, yeah, I mean
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you kind of hit the nail on the head. You know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: really good offensive team and their defense is gonna give
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: it points. But yeah, they were obviously they were able
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to step up when they needed them to.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: And that's that was enough, all right. Next up, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: think this was the best game of the night. This
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: is the Class six District four championship game. Ford zum
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: At West defeats Troy thirty four to thirty one in
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: the absolutely thrilling game. This is a defensive battle in
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: to the first half. And you know this, this is
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: the Kalaydon O'Brien legacy game right here. Crazy crazy stat
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: line here from O'Brien twenty seven to forty eight for
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: four under two yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. The
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: scoring that the touchdowns are not on spe high school sports.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: But I remember it was.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Thirty one to seventeen Troy Buchanan in the fourth quarter. Yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: so it was a big comeback here by Zumal West.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to try and go through their Twitter
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: to figure out because I believe they're a d Posted
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: who scored the touchdown okay in the fourth quarter because
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: it was a pass to touchdown from O'Brian. Was it
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: to I think it was the Garrett Dixon. I'm pretty
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: sure it was a Dixon.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: But Dixon's got one hundred ninety nine receiving yards in
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is a crazy game for the
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Jaguars offense. Four hundred eighty seven yards toldal for them.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Garrett Dixon has the game of his career seven catches
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and ninety nine yards. I believe he
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: had two touchdowns in the game, and just a crazy comeback.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, just the way that the Jaguar defense was
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: able to shut out Stroy in the fourth quarter and
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: overtime was so huge. So I mean, show them out
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: an overtime is huge because like the way that our
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: overtime works, if you get the ball first, you have
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: to score. You have to because if you don't, the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: other team is already in Fullgal range.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: You get it the twenty five yard line, so not
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: exactly in field ger I mean, you don't want to.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Settle for a lot of schools a forty two yard
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: or yeah.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Should the infield goal. We don't you want to you
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: don't want to typically settle for a forty yard field goal.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, basically it just get you just need a
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: few yards or just a first down to get in
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: field range. And and actually West they didn't even allow
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: any you know, yards the only except on off sides.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: But I think Troy threw four incomplete passes U there.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And they actually, if I'm not mistaken, if I read
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the tweets right, they actually they won the Troy won
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the toss and elected to go on offense first, which
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: is something it's typically not recommended to do that.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: So actually I was wrong. The game time touchdown was
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Clayton o'grinan to Ethan Schumacher with a minute seventeen left
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. And then Troy comes down to
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the minute left try.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: And score, throws the interception.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: They throw an interception with thirteen seconds left.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: So a little too far out of field. I mean
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: it was at the Zimont West knows at the Troy
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: forty one yard line, so they were a little they're
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: little they're out of field goal range right there, and
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: actually Zima West threw it right back to Troy there,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: so they traded interceptions in the last few seconds of
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, but it's, man, what a heartbreaker for Troy.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Will congratuate thirty one seventeen lead and just yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I know, that's that's so real to be up, to
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: be up thirty one seventeen to the end of the
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: third quarter, you got to be thinking, you're just such
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a good spot and here comes and it's so funny.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: We've been we've been waiting all year for Damal West
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: to have this breakout offensive performance and.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: It happens in the exact moment they needed most in.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: The fourth quarter of their toughest playoff game so far.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: They still didn't get the rushing yards that they probably want,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: but yeah, their passing attack was, yeah, the best it's
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: been all season.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, shoot, they had one, two, three, five guys
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: with thirty or more receiving yards, and all five of
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: those guys have four more catches as well. Garret Dixon
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and Jade Joyce, Reese clin Don Lawrence and Ethan Schumacher,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: so plenty of guys like Clayed O'Brien's confidence from the
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: ball to which is huge and just an insane game
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: and absolutely insane game. Congrats to Cad Williams forgetting the
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: game winning field goal. I believe it was a looks
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: like it was a thirty eight or so yarder, which.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Is a tough kick.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's not a gumma. And I was
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: never a kicker, so I just couldn't even imagine the
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: nerves going into a situation like that where you know
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: they wouldn't have lost the game if you missed it
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: because it was going for the second overtime.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: But you still don't want to You don't want to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: mess up that opportunity. Yeah, seriously, I would imagine that's
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: that makes you nervous enough for real.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: So tough way to go out for Troy. I mean,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: they had an incredible season. It was tough because they
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: had some interest to deal with. They finished at nine
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: to three, which to get nine plus wins again, that's
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: that's really incredible. I Mean, this is the program that
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: have been struggling to get off the really off and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: round for like two thousand and three to two, eighteen
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: nineteen ish, and here they are anguly contending for the
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: j Z South, continuing for district titles, and they were
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: so close but not quite there. And they got a
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: lot of guys to replace. But fortunately for them, they
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: have a huge program and they have great efforts coming
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: through every single class, so they should be able to reload.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Well, it's gonna be really tough to replace Carter Doll,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: very tough. And then I mean they've already kind of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: replaced Hunt Humphrey with Carter Schaeffer. But so I mean
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: they've already had to swallow that pill. They had to
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: do it really quick on the fly this early this season.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: So but yeah, I mean they're gonna be and then
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Talon Rowland, who is a think they're all time leading,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: yes leading record holder in tackles, and so they got
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: some got a few legacy players to replace, and you know,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not I think they'll be just fine running the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: football for the most part, but it's it's gonna be
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: interesting how they adjust, you know, without Dale, because he
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: was a guy who's so so good at breaking tackles
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and you know, he was a special running back. So
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: it was. It's gonna be interesting to see how they
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: how they do it. But obviously those are conversations another day.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: But for me, I'm already I've already started, you know,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: even last week, I was already kind of updating my
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: returning starters for next season. It's just it's a never
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: it's an ever changing thing. So yeah, this is my West.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: This is their first nine win seasons since twenty nineteen,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: and if they win this coming Saturday, it would be
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: their first ten win seasons in twenty nineteen as well,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: and it would also be their first to my Final
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: appearance since one. Nineteen nineteen, they went ten to ten
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: and three won their districts from Class six, made the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: semi finals, lost a job on that year, really close game,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: so yeah, coach Ben Pike with just an amazing win
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: for him his Jags. Super cool to see. Yeah, congratulations
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: with the Jaguars.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Next up.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Another overtime game. Staying in o'fallen. I was actually able
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: to catch the overtime period for this one of my Fortunately,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: the Kirkwo Eureka game ended pretty early, so I was
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: able to get myself to the north side to catch
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: this one. Zumalt North defeats Parkway West in an absolute
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: thrilling game.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: But twenty one to twenty you had to be absolutely
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I can I can only imagine what you were thinking,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: and like you know, on that, let's just skip right
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: to it. The two point conversion in overtime, so.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: The overtime was crazy. So Zumalt North had a good
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: driving overtime to get in the end zone. Jayden Burlson,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: you know, surprise, surprise, he was one that scored for
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: the Panthers. They got the pat and then on defense,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Parkway West gets the ball, Zumalt North gets a sack.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: It's third and long.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Parkway West throws to the corner of the end zone,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: passed me France on in Walt North, which is not
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: an automatic first down, but it wasn't enough yardage to
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: get a first down. So first down for Parkway West
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: and then a first down but not first and goal
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I think was first down from the fourteen short line,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: thirteen yard line and want.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: More you would, you would know, I don't know. I
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: was not there. And then.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: A couple of complete passes and then a sack again,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: so it was fourth and I think I remember, I think,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: I hope I remember remembering this right. It was like
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: fourth and sixteen or so and brought Outen's Meyer makes
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: an incredible throat to Leyton Usrie for the first down
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: to get the Parker West Longhorn's new life. And then
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of plays later they were able to get
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: in the end zone on smired at Usrie again for
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: the touchdown and they decided to go for two. At
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: that point, when they line up for two, it's like,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: all right, here we go to do or die. It's
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: more than with all the time out. So for about
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds there, the entire stadium was just kind of
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: kind of standing on xshells there, kind of just freaking out.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Both both sidelines that everyone's freaking out, and Parker West
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: comes out, Mullworth gets a good pass rush the pass
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: that deflected incomplete simal. The North wins the game. Just
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: a crazy, crazy, thrilling game. And the Zumwal North defense
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: had an unbelievable performance. I mean, the whole Parkway West
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: to fourteen points of regulations great. I mean they held
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Parkery West to negative five rushing yards the entire game. Yeah,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: that's the difference maker right there. Parker West just could
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: not run the ball.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: And that was the that was their kind of that
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: was their main struggle all season.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Xavier Jackson had a great, great game. I
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: mean only he only had five tackles, but he was
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: given Onsmeyer fits the entire game. He was able to
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: as an interior defensive lineman. He was able to get
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: a great pass rush us some great movies to get
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: through the Parker West center and guard and just incredible
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: stuff from him.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: And that was that was the big thing.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Is that once you can get Onsmeyer out of the pocket,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: that's when he that's when he can sometimes make some mistakes.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: I think he had a Onsmeyer had an okay game.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: He made some incredible throws, but there are also some
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: throw that he missed. But you shouldn't be losing a
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: game just because you're kibing misses a few throws, right, Yeah,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: So when you have a totally you have no passing offense,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: that's just not gonna work, or no, no running offense
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: is not gonna work.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: But funny enough for Zumal North.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Phil the Thrill Philly Special Philipop Posse, he had an
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: okay game.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: He ran for ninety one yards.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: And one touchdown throwing the ball not too hot two
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: of seven eighteen yards, no touchdowns, one interception, and you
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: know usual Zoomal North just wants to run the ball
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: every time. I mean they had sixty three rushing attempts
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: and seven passing attempts, so ninety percent their offense was
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: on the ground.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And the running game was good for the Panthers.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I mean they had sixty three carries for three hundred
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: and eighty one yards for over six yards per carry,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: which is solid. But the thing of the pan Panthers
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: said they had several drives. I heard they had four
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: drives where they got to the Parker West red zone
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: and they didn't score on any of those drives.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Well that's there, you go. I think that that's why
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: that that game's in overtime.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so definitely a lot of missed opportunities for the Panthers.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Jade Burlson had an unbelievable game twenty eight carries for
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: two hundred and seventeen yards and two touchdowns. At kids
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and insane athlete. He's so quick, so shift, he's so
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: strong too, and it's this is gonna be a tough
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: game come up for Zamol North because they're gonna have
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: to just not blow these opportunities that they did against
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Parko West, Yes, Corona Witter because Carna Ritter is a
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: much better team. And if they come into the city
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: and just still out in the red zone every single
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: time and not score, they're gonna lose. But I think
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: that should be a close, interesting game. For Zimol North,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: it's they're they're a really good team. They get a
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: district title yet again, I believe this is their twelfth
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: district title under a coach Bacon, which I think he has.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: He has to have most district.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Titles of any current head coach, maybe other than Scott
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Pingle maybe probably, Yeah, but yeah, just incredible stuff over
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: there going on the north side. For the Zamal North
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Pro this is there.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see one, two, three, four six.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: This is their ninth district title in the past twelve seasons.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: So just consistency had its finest for wont North.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: So that's that's his ninth district championships won. That's right, Okay, okay.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: And then for Parkway West, this is a This is
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: obviously just an absolutely heartbreaking way to go out, and
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: this is one of their better seasons in a while.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: And just to lose in overtime in a in a
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: game where there were some opportunities that the other team
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: gave you.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Then you're able to stay in the game.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Is just and it's it's kind of what we were saying,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: well the whole season, we were saying our Parker West
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: was a really good team, because they were really good
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: team this year, and they finished nine and three, had
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: some great wins, especially against North Point last week where
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: they dominated north Point last week. The way they beat
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Patonville was really impressive. Beating second week one was a
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: huge win for them. But we had some questions, especially
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: bout a running game, and when you have no running game,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have a hard time winning games late in
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: the season. And we'll see how they reload on offense.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think there should be an okay
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: team next year, but it's gonna be tough to get back.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: To where they're at this year. Yeah, obviously I think
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: it might be wrong here, but I believe this. I
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: have North down for ten district titles all time in
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: their history. That sounds right, yeah, because so if that
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: was so, they would have had eight going into as
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of Friday morning, that's than nine. So yeah, I think
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: because then they they I think they they got to
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the final four of the seventies one year, which counts
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: as a discarct championship. So there you go. All right,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: so tenth in their history, but most of them in
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: fairly recent time.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, special special squad up there.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: The North Side ties them now with Francis Howe Herculaneum
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: and McClure South Berkeley for with I think for thirty
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: fifth in the area as of what I have it
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: right now. But yeah, but I mean no, I think
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: you know it's thirty fifth. Yeah, there's a lot of schools. Yeah,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you're telling me there's thirty four more teams that have
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: more district titles. No, it's just I think it's it
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: changes now, but like they're right now for Zoowell North,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: there's there's over thirty teams ahead of them in the
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: area that have more district championships. Is this some stal
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Hospital sports or no, this is the stuff that I
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: compiled off of Misha oh I did. I've done a
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: lot of research into this, put a lot of time
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: into doing this. But so yeah, that's we have a
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: lot of teams in our area.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Roman I know, I know, I just didn't know what
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: time frame you were looking at there.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from well since the inception of the playoffs.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Right now, so Zumal, nowif will play Cardinal Ritter who
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: defeated Ladoue by I score of thirty six to three.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: And that's Cardinal riders seventeenth district championship in their school history,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: and they've that's seventh in a row they've won.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this was kind of a close game in
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: the beginning, but the talent by this Rigger team, it
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: was too much for the do to handle. And the
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: dude just couldn't get their defense off the field.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Rigor Burnham for it.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, Manny ellis my gosh, every time I look
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: at his statline, my jaw just drops. He had three
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: one carries for three hundred and twenty one rushing yards.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Really, are you kidding me, Manny? That is unbelievable. It
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: did not.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, both Kashmir Mansuck and Ryland Moore had over
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: one hundred yards passing the ball.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: So I haended these highlights, not that I'm saying that
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: they're wrong, but it did not seem like Ridder had
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: over six hundred yards of offense in this game.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean they dominated to that. I mean, while
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: thirty six points seems like a little low for six
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: hundred yards of offense, Yeah, they dominated, So we'll trust
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: him here, Okay. Yeah, And it's so funny that yet
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: again Calon Ritterer finds himself running a two QB offense.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: They went from Carson Boyd and Antoline McKay running it
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: like champs and now I guess Kashmir Manschuck and rather
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: than Moore doing it again, which is so funny, but
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: it helps me. You have Manny Ellis, who is just
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: an incredible running back. They don't have the touchdown stats
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: in here, but I would assume that he had to.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I think Casher Manchuck he had two rushing touchdowns. Ellis
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I think had two right there, and then they got
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: one more I forget what that was. And then obviously
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: the Lido it was a field goal that they kicked
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: early in the game. Yeah, I mean it was again
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: if if was just able to sustain some drives on offense,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, even if they don't score, I think it's
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a much closer game at halftime, and
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: it's just it's a little different so it wasn't obviously
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Ritter that was dominating victory. But you know, I think
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: if you're a LEDO, you can hold your heads high
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: with this one. I mean, just simply just a more
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: talent team. And and really the three games this season
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: where they three of the four games they lost besides Fox,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: they were just they just lost to better teams. It's
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: as simple as that. So and I think, you know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: a really good season for LADO right there, to go
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: eight and four and you know, won some memorable games
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: and had some pretty close games that they were able to,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: you know, win. I mean, they won just about every
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: close game they had besides Fox.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: And I.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Can't officially confirm, but unofficially, Mason Martin is now the
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: all time leading record holder a LaDou for tackles in
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: a career. Yeah. So he broke Michael Collins as a
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: record of four hundred and eleven tackles.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: That's an oh my gosh, yeah geez.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: And so I think it we'll see right now. But
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: for the it looks like for the second year in
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: a row, there's a good shot Mason Martin's gonna lead
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the area in tackles.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So he had over one hundred. I guess, yeah,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: fours up one hundred and seventy four. So he broke
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, he broke his and he set the record
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: for most tackles in a season for the due player
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: last year, so he broke his own record.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: And then he got some help that it helps that
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Kahoki lost because Malik Bazoo and he had one hundred
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: and sixty nine tackles and he was second behind Martin,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: so he's out and so yeah, a lot of yeah,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: it looks like Marty should should end up with the
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: for the overall total tackles leader for the season because
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of the other teams that are out are eliminated,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: those guys right next to him there. So anyway, that's
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a my little Ladoo tidbit there. So yeah, I mean
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: didn't have many Max really didn't have any expectations for
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: LaDue going into this game. It kind of kind of
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: had a good feeling how this would go.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Next game we will talk about another really close, really
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: exciting game. Parkway North defeats Orchard Farm and this final
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: score this one was seventeen to fourteen, super close game. Again,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: no touchdown stats in here, so I guess I'm gonna
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: have to go to the I think it was the
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Ortra Farm ad was having the most consistent tweets all night.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty good at doing that. Yeah.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: So, and this is too bad, no status and for
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Parkway North, and we only had the offensive stats for
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Orchard Farm, but Parkway North scored their game the go
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: ahead touchdown with seven minutes half in the fourth quarter
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: to go up seventeen to fourteen. And yeah, so Parkway
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: North was leading ten to eight going into the fourth quarter.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just sorry.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I'm trynap on the stats here.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: And then Orchard Farm they were able I think on
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: the first play, the first play the quarter, they scored
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: on a big touchdown. I don't know if it was.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was a.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Pass Sinclair to Madden bone binding the first play the
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter with a touchdown with the miss two point conversion.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: But their difference here, So right before halftime, Orchard Farm
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: gets the ball at their own three yard line.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: With a few minutes set until halftime.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm assuming they've been having kicker issues all year
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: because they've been going for two every single time recently,
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: and they started the Parkway North three yard line, They
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: go all the way down to the they started their
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: own three yard line, they go all the way down
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: to the Parkway North one and try to get They
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: try to punch into the ends in before halftime, but
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: they don't get it. So the score was ten to
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: eight at halftime, which if they have a kicker and
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: they make a chip shot field goal, that's we get
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: a tie.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Game potentially going to overtime. Wow.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: So tough break there for Orchard Farm, and you know,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: very tough loss, and was in a fantastic season for
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: the Eagles.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: They finished at ten to two, and well, the biggest
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: play of the game was Orchard Farm had an opportunity
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: with right around two minutes to go to tie the
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: game and probably send it into overtime, but the field
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: goal attempt was blocked by North and they got the
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: ball two minutes to go, and I guess they just
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: ran the clock out after that. So that was a huge,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: huge defensive standby by the Vikings right there. It's a
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: and that's really kind of how they've kind of operated
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: and lived and died all season just rely on their defense.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, they beat Parkway West nineteen to fourteen, beat
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Holt last week ten to twenty eight ten, and you know,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: really the outlier was giving up thirty points to Hazewood East,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: which in a game they won in overtime. It was
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: a big comeback victory for Parkway North there. So they've
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: they've kind of had a you know, a little bit
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: of a flair for the dramatic kind of likely do
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: this season, and but hey, they've been really really good.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: I mean every close game they've been in they've won
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's huge. You get the hazew East game in
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: the one overtime Parkway West game back in week seven
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: they won by five. In this Orchard Farm game they
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: went back three as well, so huge shopper them grasped
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: the Vikings coach od Wall to winning another district title.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: This is yet another ten win season for them. There's
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: actually the first ten win season, I would say you
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: get another nine one season. First ten win season for
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Vikings is twenty sixteen, second district title And with them
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: winning this past weekend, they have now increased their win
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: total every year since twenty twenty two. That's awesome, which
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: is very tough to do and just kind of goes
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: to show how where this program has been and they
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: weren't mean they were never really a bad program. In
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: their worst year was twenty nineteen when they went three
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: and seven, and since then it's just only getting better
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: and better as.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: The years go on.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: So coach Jokeeth raised the bar for himself every single year.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: It's too tougher to outdo himself.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: But so, by the way, that's so Parkway North. They
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: also now have ten district championships.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Very nice, very nice, well super exciting game graduations with
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: the vikings for winning otherwise in Class four and another
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: really exciting game we had wasn't as close but had
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: plenty of fun plays. Saint Mary's. They defeated Lutheran North
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: thirty five to twelve in a game that was kind
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: of close in the first half, but Saint Mary's just
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: really took control in the second half and Luther North
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: actually scored all their points in the first quarter. So
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Luther North started the game or Saint mary started the game.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: They scored in their first drive, make it seven to
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: six or seven to zero, and then on the ensuing kickoff,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Mike Clark runs it back her a touchdown and make
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: it seven to six, and then I think it was
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: the next Saint Mary's drive, they throw a pick six
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: and so at that point I believe it was twelve
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: to seven and those are the final points scored by
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Lutheran North all game. So this Saint Mary's defense shuts
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: out the Crusaders. So just an incredible and unfortunately the
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Saint Mary's stats are not in, but luther norths are
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: so prost Luther North putting your stats in.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Nice job.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: But the Saint Mary's defense was able to hold luther
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: North to two hundred and forty nine yards of offense,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: keeping them out of the end zone completely, which is huge.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: They held them to only.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Seventy five rushing yards, which you know, with Martez Stevenson
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: is something that the Crusaders have been pretty solid at
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: this season. And you know, and I wish these stats
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: and so I can shout out some of these threads, guys,
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: But huge for Saint Mary's here. I mean, I honestly
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: expected this to be a much closer game, which I
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: guess had had more expectations for Lutherman North. But you know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Saint Mary's eight and three first district titles since their
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: state championship season back in twenty twenty two back at
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: the eight win marks since that season as well, and
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: you know, this is the program that you know, after
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: they lost all the talent they did after twenty twenty
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: two two season, I was like, well, it's gonna be
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: tough for them to get back in the spotlight, you know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: with the issues that their schools had even staying open
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: and some coaching staff turnover. But here they are there,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: eight and three district champions and they got a tough
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: game against Partway North through the next round, but it's
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: a winnable game. So that's two really good teams and
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: they got a shot to get to their ninth win
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: and get to the final four, which would be their
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: third final four of the past five seasons, which is
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: crazy given the circumstances. So yeah, congratulations to Saint Mary's.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: That is a huge, huge win. And for Lutheran North,
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: this is kind of a we're gonna forget about this year,
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: like we're gonna we're gonna just try and kind of
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: reset figure some stuff out. I mean, the rnswill Brinkley
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: has has has been pretty good as a coach. I
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: feel like it's i mean, it's it's tough coming in
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: with you know, a state championship. Team who lose a
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: lot of talent loses their head coach. So the new
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: head coach kind of has to set his own culture.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: But with Luther North, they've been able to recruit.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Pretty well the past decade or so.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: And this is the program that has seven state championships
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: across many different areas of the of our sport.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Most championships out of any team in our area too.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I trust coach Brinkley in that and the
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: company to get it together and figure it out, and
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: you know, hope with them, they're just hoping this is
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: kind of a down year, which is funny because six
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: and four would not be a down year.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: For a lot of schools. But right their standards definitely
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: is I mean, well their losses too, Like Blair Oaks
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: they're still playing Maryville, I think they're still playing, Riders
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: still playing and obviously Saint Mary's they're still playing.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so very very tough schedule and they're I mean,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: and they're going to keep a difficult schedule every single
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: year as well, which as far as we as far
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: as we know, which usually helps them out each season.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean it didn't quite help them out
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: this season. I mean ultimately didn't win the distric championship,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: but I mean it probably you know, hardened them, sure,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it just didn't quite work out this season
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: for them. And yeah, like I said, I'm not so
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: sure where they go from here. I mean, they lose
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: some pretty good players. They bring some back. I mean,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: they got Jonathan Moore back at quarterback, which is huge
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: for them, probably their most impactful player. So that's a
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: good start. But yeah, I'm not you know, they lost
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: some other like Michael Clark was a four year starter,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Martez Stevenson was huge at running back, and so these
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: guys have pretty good careers that they're losing.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so a few more games than Missouri side
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: will go over. Staying in Class Tour, Festest defeats North
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: County Finals four. Listen was forty two to twenty four.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: So this was a weird game. Festis got out to
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: a fourteen to nothing lead, gave up that lead. In fact,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: North County even took the lead twenty one to fourteen,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: So that was something I wasn't expecting. But then Festus
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: was able to rebound and figure it out and able
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: to come back and win fairly fairly comfortably. I guess
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't that quite comfortable for them. But Parker Perry,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: who's been had a fantastic season so far. Four touchdowns,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: zero interceptions for one hundred and ninety three yards, and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: then came the Yates did a good job on the ground.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Six carries for eighty one yards. He may have had
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: a touchdown or two, but just I don't know. And
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Jackson Frank receiver three receptions for one hundred and thirty
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: three yards averaged forty four yards crazy per attempt per yeah,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: per reception right there, and looks like Festus had a
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: few turnovers or they had Frank had an interception and
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: the sum fubble recovery and they were three sacks as
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: there there as well. So, yeah, this is a team
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: the fastest we expected the win this district, and yeah
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: they did so made it interesting in the first half,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: but they were able to, you know, gather themselves and
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: able to get a victory. And they will travel to
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: Sullivan for the Class four quarter finals.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: And speaking of Sullivan, we got to talk about this game,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: the other overtime game, the third overtime game that we
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: saw in the area. Sullivan defeats Vianni twenty nine to
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. This was double o, double overtime. This is
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: an insane game. So and Sullivan has their stats in awesome.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you guys, appreciate it. I've honestly always wondered whether
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: we should include them in our coverage area because their
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: town is a border town. It's on Franklin, the Franklin
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: County line, and I forgot the county south of.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Them, Gasconade County.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's Gasconade. But so they're kind of in
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: our coverage area, but kind of now they're like right
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: over there on the edge. But this Sullivan Russian attack
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: was way more than than I knew it was. They
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: had fifty three carries for three hundred yards.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: As a team.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Chase Blue led the way with eighteen carries one hundred
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: and twenty three yards. And defensively, I mean they did enough.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: I mean they held Viannie's rushing attack to a mediocre game.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: And you know, the clutch, the clutch play and overtime.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say who scored it, but they they scored
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: in double lot to get down by one, they decided
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: to go for two and they got it, and they
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: won twenty eight. So incredibly gutsy called there by the
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Sullivan coaching staff and they get it.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: And a tough way to go out for Viann.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, Sam Dean had a great game fourteen to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, two and thirteen yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, but.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Just really tough because I think, you know, Dean was
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: a four year start. Now he wasn't, he didn't start
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: all four years, but yeah, I think three years. And
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: you know, these these seniors were the freshmen when Chris
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Stark he took over his head coach, and so you know,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: these guys I'm sure really wanted to win this game
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: to you know, valid their season and take their chances
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: against Festus in the next round and just go from there.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so it's a really tough way to lose
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: it like that. And double overtime, it's uh, you know,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: it's I can't remember. I mean, we've had some fair
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: amount of overtime games, but it's been a long time.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, the last double overtime game and I can
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: think that anybody played in was when we do played
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Lindberg in twenty twenty one. In that game, that double
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: overtime game there, so you know this for this to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: you know, come down to a distric championship in double overtime,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: is I mean good or bad that these kids everybody involved,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: you can remember this for a very long time for sure.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: All rights.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: The one Class six game we've got to talk about
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Saturday game, the Rock Road rivalry. Paddenville defeats Writtener again
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: this season, again by one score. Twenty seven to twenty
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: was the final score in this one. And Paddenvill does
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: it again, I mean they they They played Rinner earlier
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: in the year one thirty five to twenty seven. They
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: come back and the difference here was the Paddonville offense
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: still to put up twenty points in the second quarter alone.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: This how there was a Larry Morton.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Sixty two yard rushing touchdown and MJ also touchdown and
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Hated twelve Lyles receiving touchdown twelve Asles also had the
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: game winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Was about four
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: minutes left in the game. So definitely a memorable, memorable
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: day for Treel Lyles. Trevor Beckerman had a great game
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: sixteen to twenty six two or fifty seven yards, two touchdowns,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: did their two interceptions, but did enough to his team.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: To the victory. Larry Martin had a really big game
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: twenty two carries, one hundred and fifty six rushing yards.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: No touchdowns there, or did he Yeah? Yeah, he had
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: a sixty two yard touchdown run. So once again he
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: had another big run against Rittner to get a touchdown
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: and it just God, your heart goes out to Ritner man.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I know, they just can't get a break in these
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: close games.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Outside of the Fox victory Wiler this year where they
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: almost blew it. They were winning and they won by
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: a score, but they almost blew it. They just have
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: been completely allergic to winning one score games. But we
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: do have to give some credit to the Pattonville pass
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: rush here. They had five sacks as a team, each
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: of which by different guys. Benjamin heinz Oft, Drew Killyan,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Bryan Monroe, kayleb Rickman, and Josh Rushaneler all that sacks
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm not sure which one of them got that
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: one on the final Rittner drive, but there was a
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: sack on that final Ridder drive that which a huge
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: tone setter and made life way difficult for the Puskies.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: And yet again Padla wins this game in the rivalry,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: and for Pattonville this is their This is their first
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: district title since twenty seventeen when they got second in state,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: so huge stuff for the Pirates, their first six win
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: season since twenty eighteen. So definitely good stuff going on
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: over there at that program. Congratulations to coach Steve Smith
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: and in company.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: So it's also their tenth consecutive victory over Writtener. Jeez,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. All right.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: So now that we've gone over all of the in
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: town Missouri scores, or at least almost all of them,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: I guess we might as well because there's really only
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: one more to talk about. Borgia unfortunately falls to Saint Clair.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Another pretty good game.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, final score this one was twenty six to nineteen four.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: The stats for this so Borgia they had a good
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: game on the ground two hundred and twenty eight yards
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: on ten twenty two carries, so they averaged ten yards
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: of carry. Aiden Crooks one hundred and six three yards
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: on fourteen carries for him, he actually had he had
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: a one yard touchdown run that was the first score
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: of the game. And Johnny Williams for Borgia, he made
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: two field goals and then you know, Saint Clair Nate
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: short had I saw his name come up a few
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: times on Twitter. He was. He had a really good
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: game for Saint Clair. He had the game winning score,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: sixty eight yard pass. He was, he's actually their quarterback.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: He had sixty eight yard touchdown pass first play the
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, so that was the deciding score there. And
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: he had a few rushing touchdowns. These stats are bunch jops.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: It was a little hard. So he had two. He
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: had two touchdown passes and then two touchdown runs for
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Saint Clair. So that's your player of the game right
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: there for sure.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: And shout out to the Saint Clair defense. They scored
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: their go ahead touchdown with you know, right as the
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter started. Yeah, so they e eleven minutes and
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: fifty seconds to defend it. And the Borgia offense was
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: great all game except for that fourth quarter where the
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Bulldogs were just totally able to steigny their offense and
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: you know, touch way to go out for Borgia or
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: they fall to six and five. But a solid first
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: year under coach Manny and then we'll see how they
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: recover from here.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: But congratulations to Saint Clair.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: For winning there now nine to three, and this is
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: they've had a pretty good program recently. I mean this
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: is their I mean shoot the last time, but they
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: were below five hundred twenty fourteen. And this is actually
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: their first district title in quite a long time. I
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: mean they've had seven win nine win seasons, even ten
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: win seasons as I've laid, but haven't quite been able
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: to break the seal and get the district title. So
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: congratulate Bulldogs for winning there, and so now we might
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: able to do a quick bracket update on the Missouri side.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: So in Class six, nick so defeated Joplin and and
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Halias defeated Blue Springs.
• 1:09:49

• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: of their better wins in school history.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, outside of the you know, the state championship wins, right,
• 1:09:56

• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: for the first district title in their school's history.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: So for people who are aware of like, okay, we
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: had that one really kind of weak district with Pattonville
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: and Retner that that was the other week district in
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: class five. Well, at least there was not really a
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say Farmington and Cape Central was
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: kind of a weak district, but yeah, definitely a week
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: district with Lebanon Capital City. I know, I'm just crapping
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: on it right there. I don't mean to, but I'm
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: just trying to paint a picture for you guys like this.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: This doesn't just happen in Saint Louis anyway. But yeah,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: really convincing win for Capital City though.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: And Carthage defeated Republic three one to fourteen in the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: Class five District six championship. For those who don't know Carthage,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: even though they're not as historically dominant as a Web
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: city or I can't really say jop On because Joplin,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: the other school in Joplin had to say titles.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: I forgot the name of that school, but I forget.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: They had two schools.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: There were two schools of Job and then they merged
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: and other school had to stay titles, but Joplin didn'ts Yeah,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: so you could you can kind of stay dropping on
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: state titles. But anyway, Carthage, this is their I believe
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: this is their eighth district title in the past decade
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: or so, so.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: I actually might have it up here in my spreadsheet.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: So forgrats to Carthage and winning, the winner of the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: Carthage Capital City game will play the winner of the
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: Karda Winter Zumo North game I don't have on the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: right side of the Class five bracket. And then Farmington
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: defeated Cape Central twenty one to zero, so Kirkwood will
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: play at Farmington. The winner of that game will play
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: the winner of Platte County at Grain Valley.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: So we got real quick. Platte County almost got upset
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: by Rockhurst. Yeah, that was a very exciting game. Yeah,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: but rock O Marriott committed to the James Madison. A
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: lot of people say he's the best quarterback in the state.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: He was committed to Miszoo now right, No, No, he's
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: not yet got committed.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: He got offered, I know they got offered. Yeah, and
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: but now he had a That was a game where
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: they trailed twelve to nothing at halftime and then they
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: took the lead and Rockhurst got the lead back and
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: then it was really dramatic aim and Marriott scored with
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: two seconds to go on I think a one yard
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: touchdown run, so very very very close, shaved right there
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: by the pirates. But yeah, they're still alive, and they
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: play a Green Valley team who've historically over the last
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: about five years or so, have actually had really good
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: success over there. Yeah, but that's a game Platte County
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: on paper should win for sure. Yeah.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: And then on the in the Class four bracket, Parkway
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: North will play Saint Mary's. The game is actually going
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: to be the only Friday night game.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: Going on in the entire area that that day, So
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: I'll be there. That'll be at Saint Mary's. That should
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: be an interesting game. We'll be Yeah.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: The winner of that game will put the winner of
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: West Plains at Hannibal. Hannibal defeated Odessa and their district
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: in West Plains defeated Carl Junction. Long drive for West
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: Plains up to Hannibal. That's going to be a hale.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: It's like Southern miss on the edge of southern Missouri
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: to like up to Handle, not exactly, not exactly the
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: edge of Missouri if when you're speaking of purely north south,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's up there. It's right on the eastern
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: border of Missouri right there. Yeah. That's a that's a
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: that's a hall.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then Sulimon defeated Vianni. So Festus will be
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: traveling to Sullivan and the winner of that game will
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: play the winner of Warrensburg versus Carney. The winter of
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: that game, we'll play Carney. Carney had a Carnia defeated
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Savannah they.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: Number twenty four zero, number one versus number two game,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: and yeah, Savannah just their offense could not do anything
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: that game against Carney.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Karney is a machine. For those who are not aware it,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: Carney is up there about let's say miles twenty miles
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: northeast of KC. Yeah, about kind of close to Platte County.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: Actually not exactly, kind of relative. Black County is a
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: lot more further west there and north of So it's
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: not like it's not like Stone's throwaway or anything like that,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: and it's it's it's about like like a forty five
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: minute drive. I've made the drive because that's what I
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: do in my spare time. And yeah, so I would
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: imagine if if Festus can beat Sullivan, which I would
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: think they'd be favored to win, then yeah, Festus would
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: get a huge semi final game against Carney there and
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: then potentially, I mean you got Parkway North. We'll talk
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: about it later. I think Saint Mary's was a Park
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: of North. I think that's a toss up. And then
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: Hannibal probably beats West Plains. Yeah, so you know what
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: for Class four, I think it's actually I think the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: it's actually kind of worked out pretty well with the
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: games we're getting, besides besides Savannah having to play Carney. Yeah,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: but it's it's it's actually looking pretty good.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: So a couple of see Little Area teams left one
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: Class three. One in Class two got Saint Clair against
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: O Sage. The winner of that game will play the
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: winner of Mountain Grove versus Seneca. Seneca rolled over winning
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: its class Cassville forty seven to fourteen. SEC is the
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: favorite there in Class three.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was a big time victory for senecover.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: So Caspell has been actually really good this season, pretty
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: battles as the team, So for Seneca to be beat
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: those guys up as huge, and I think they're probably
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: they're probably the favorites to win it right now too. Yep.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: And then Lift the Life will play Dexter. The game
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: is gonna be at Melville this Saturday. The winner of
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: that game will play the winner of Saint Michael the
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Archangel versus Maryville. We talked about Maryville a bit earlier this.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Season because they they defeated Lutheran North. I think it
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: was a week five or so they did, Yeah, thirty
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: three to fifteen, I believe.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then in Class two Saint Pius sym Festus
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: they won the district championship. They defeated Carutherersville twenty eight
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: to fourteen. So congratulations to the Lancers. That's a huge
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: win for them. This is their first district title I
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: think in a long time. I mean at least look
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: at their mission page. This is Saint Pias's first district
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: title since missions have been tracking yet. Okay, so they
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: get to seven wins yet again, I mean again, this
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: is kind of like Saint Clair. They've been having some
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: good seasons recently. They won seven games twenty twenty three,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: they've won eight games and two team twenty eighteen. But
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: it looks like he just never really quite broke through
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: and win the district title.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: But here they are.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: They win districts. So congratulations with the Lancer. Lancers small
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: school on their infestus.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: They do have a really good player. I'm tracking running
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: back runner, Yeah, running back. His name is Cody Shaver,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: not not Schrader Shaver. Yeah, Cody Shaver. He's got twenty
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: nine touchdowns on the season. Let's seah all rushing touchdowns,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: twenty six and forty five rushing yards on the season
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: for him. That's insane, absolute horse that they got there.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: So if you got a player like that and he's
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: still fairly healthy, they probably got a shot. Montgomery County.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: They're nine to two.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: Montgomery County is really good team.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Theally good teams.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Sat Pias will play Montgomery County. Of the game's gonna
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: be at Saint Phias Infestus. That should be a fun
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: one winner of that game with the winner of Monroe.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: City and Mid Buchanan and Mid Buchanan, I know I've
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: been ranking them or no, I don't even I don't think. No,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: I don't do class two or anything. Never mind, I'm
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: not going to pretend I'm a Class two guy.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: Well, the other side of the bracket gets really interesting
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: because you get Liberty Mountain View against Lamar on the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: upper quadrup of the bracket. Yeah, and the winner of
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: that game will play the winner of Blair Oaks and
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: some Christian So we could some.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: A Christian by the way. I mean they win state well,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: and they didn't win state basketball. They got to the
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Class five run up, the Class five runner up some basketball,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: and now they won a district in football. They're in
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: Class five in basketball, but class two and football, yes,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: success factor and that in basketball, like you're if you're
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: in class four. Those are pretty small schools. It gets
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: really small pretty quickly from like class one through class
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: four yea. And then it gets there's a big shift
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: from like in the class five through class six. A
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: lot more schools have basketball than football. That that that too, Yeah,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: so you're gonna get a lot more small schools there.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: But maybe a couple of weeks we could see the
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: game of the week in the state with Blair Oaks
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: versus Lamar and the Class two semi finals.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: That could be yeah, that could be a war.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: And then in Class one Hay tie they win their districts,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: they will play Van Far and then Salisbury will play
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: put in the county. So the winner is the Van
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: Far Haye Ti game. For the winners of the Salisbury
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: Put County game. On the other side, Thayer plays Tipton.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: The winner of that game plays the winner of Adrian
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: and West Platte.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: West Platte, by the way, is just a little bit
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: north of Platte County for those people, you know, and
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: the great facilities. By the way, I was able to
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: fly mi drone while I was over there this summer,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: and it's it's awesome. I mean, makes sense why they're
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: good because obviously the community really cares about putting in
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: a having good, good athletics facilities. So I think that's
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: a trickle down effect. But anyway, uh, yeah, I think
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: I think Adrian won state last year, didn't They were there.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: They're in the championship. I think so they or I
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: believe it. Yeah, they are.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: Adrian defeated Penning last year in the state championship.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Class one, okay, and they are. They rank number one
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: in Class one. Very nice.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: Class one is always very interesting because if any private
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: school does good in Class one, they're gonna get bumped
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: up immediately.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So now it's it's just kind of peer. It's
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: kind of peer.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: That's great, that's I like this satisfactor.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: So now there's actually only one game we have not
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: talked about yet, including an airy team. Do you know
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: what it is?
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: St Louis the Flyers.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Man. They just continue to absolutely dominate teams. They defeat
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: Chicago Simeon forty nine and nothing. This game was over
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: before before halftime even started, before the first quarter. Yeah, seriously,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Restrengthling shines it again. Eleven of seventeen two or forty
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: five yards for him. A Mount Coleman and a mere
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: Tolman do fantastic, both of which gets seventy rushing yards,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: averaging over nine yards of care between them. And defensively,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: I was I was watching what Paul Hafack was tweeting.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: He was great coverage the game by Paul. Thank you, Paul.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: And I think at a point, I think it was
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: halfway through the second quarter, Simeon had like negative six
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: yards of offense or something ridiculous, and I think it
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: was And again this was I was trying to watch
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: the because we were at the British Centralkokia game and
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: I'm also trying to track the East Lewis game. But
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: I think at a certain point Simeon's biggest play was
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: like this thirty yard run, but they had negative six
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: yards as a team, So they had so many negative
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: plays that is canceled out the thirty yard run. Wow.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: So this East Lewis defense continues to be just completely
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: suffocating And yeah, I need I should have done this
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: before we started recording. But I feel like this is
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: the twelfth game in a row in the playoffs outside
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: of state championship games where eastint Lewis just crushes their.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Opponent like wins by forty Turboclock.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I wish that I just say had.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: I guess there are other pages you can go and
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: look in the history, but just looking at this year
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: so far for Easting Lewis and the quarter finals.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: You know, seven game so it's a seven if we're
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: going off that, they have a seven game winning streak.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty three they beat in the semifinals,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: they beat Washington thirty four eighteen, so that only sixteen
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: point win.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, so that's seven.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Game winning streak. As far as outside of that's that's
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: insane of turboclocking team.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: That's insane. That's actually insane. We'll see how the we'll
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: see how the sportsbook treats that for the next episode,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: but yeah, they'll do it for our games. To cover
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: any final thoughts on mid twelve.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: No, I just really fun week overall. You know, the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: three overtime games and then the CBC Lafayette game, and
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: you know, those those four really stick out to me.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we got I mean got to see Brief Central,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: you know in Kahokia. You know, two pretty good programs
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: and both could be really good again next year as well.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: And yeah, for the most part, just expected results there
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: and just really looking I'm just really excited for the
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: quarterfinals and it looks like it's all kind of working
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: out for the most part so far. Our film schedules
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: were able to get out to just about every one
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: of these games. Yeah.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Also, before we head out, I do want to give
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: a quick shout out to Corey Nestledge, the adi at Kirkwood,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Coach Macklin, Cooper Owens, and Jaco Eberhart for come onto
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: our show we had on Friday. We really appreciate those guys.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: It definitely made the show a lot better. We had
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: a great time and we appreciate all of you who
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: tuned in.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed our show.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: We will probably not be able to do a show
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: like that again.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: This is football.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: For football, I will actually get out of talents coming weekend,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: so I cannot do a show. And then for the
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: Missouri semi finals we might be able to. We'll see,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: and then the state the state championships, that would be
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: tough because we have to bring our whole operation across
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: the state. Yeah, so that would be interesting, but we'll see.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we can get some more for next of all
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: season and we will definitely be doing some game day
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: shows for basketball season, so those should be a good time.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looking forward to it. And we got a little
• 1:24:23
