• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venia Show. Everybody, Thank
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you all for joining us as we are here to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: preview week eight of the twenty twenty.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Five Saint Louis High school football season.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I am John Hupp, joined by Roman Bishop, and we
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: are here again with the top fifteen games of the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: week in the metro area. And we're gonna get right
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: into it with Lift for Life going down to Cape
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Girardo of Missouri as they play the Central Tigers.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yep, we can Lift for Life fair by nine and
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: a half and the over huns at fifty one and
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a half here. Lift for Life has had a great
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: season so far. Phoenix Isaiah has been one of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: better qbs in the whole area. Really, they're coming off
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a nice win against Father Tulton sitting. You have five
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: and two now for the Hawks Cape Centrals. They had
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: a hot start, they were four and out to start
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the year, but they've had three really tough games.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: They're in a tough, tough part of their schedule too.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they had three really good teams they've
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: played in Saint Dominic, Jackson and Farmington. Sat Dominic's undefeated,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Jackson's undefeated and Farmington. I believe the six and one, yeah,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: so that's a like there are three losses have been
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: to teams that are combined to twenty and one, so
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Cape Gerardo and you know, the Farmington game was and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the Saint Dominic games are somewhat close, so Kate Gardo
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: is still a solid team. I do think Lyft Life
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: does have a pretty good talent edge here though. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: it's funny because we want to talk about homefoel advantage.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: You can't really use that when you're playing Lyft for
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Life because they're used to being road warriors. They're on
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the road every single week.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So it is another fairly long drive for them, a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: probably yeah, more two hour drive down to Cape Girardo.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So they're man, they've been on the road a lot
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: these last three weeks, going down to Murphy's Boro, Illinois
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and Southern Illinois and then Tolton and Columbia and then
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Cape Girardo.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I trust Lift for Life to come through here. I'm
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: gonna go with them to cover and I'm gonna go
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: with the open.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Cape car They've had some interesting scores.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I mean their SLEW game, I thought that I thought
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they were looking really good at three and two, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they still are and had a really close game against
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Murphy's Borough lost by twelve and a shootout, and then
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: come from behind victory over Class two Father Toulton Cape Gerard.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They are a Class four team and not as good
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: as what they've what they've been like these last few
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: years where they've made a few Final four runs and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: even last year I think they lost. They went nine
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to three, which is solid. Just don't look the same team.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to go with With for Life here.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I this is interesting because they've been in some close
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: games here, Like I'm pretty sure I got that. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: would have had them cover that nine and a half
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: spread over Tulton, but they didn't. I have not seen
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Central play this season though, h yeah they've you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'm actually good. I think Live for Life wins the game,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: but I will have Central covering.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll do have to do a better job
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of my homework on this one.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I still got Lift for Life, but Central's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: got to cover here, so I think at least and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then I will still take the over though.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: All right, sounds good. Next step onto a huge rivalry game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: We got how Central at Howel. The fightings are heard
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: by twenty point five here overs at fifty and a
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: half Howell because of their loss to Troy, but they
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: were able to defeat them West earlier in the year.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: They have clinched to share of GC South title assuming
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: they beat how Central this week. But given how this
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: is a big rivalry game, how Central is gonna fight
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: their hardest. They usually fight their hardest in this game
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: every single year. How was it how Central was able
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: to feed their other main rival, Howell North pretty easily
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: last week. Sit at two and five with a really
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: tough schedule. I mean, Hale Central's had a tough year.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I mean they've had they've had. It's I mean Jason
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Campbell has been a pretty good QB for him so far.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: He's had over a thousand passing yards thirteen passing touchdowns.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: They just can't quite be the Spartans can't quite get
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a good running game going though. I mean Ashton Payton's
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: are leading rusher with three hundred and forty four yards
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: and four and a half yards per carry.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: They haven't been able to run the ball as well
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: as compared to last year.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's that's a pretty big Red flag, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the question is what kind of numbers is Jayden Bower
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: gonna pull up put up? And he's been great all
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: year for Howell and he's their guy. I mean, he
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: had he had a good he had a I'm assuming
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: he had a good game. That's timberlandn The stats aren't
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: ten yet, but I mean he's I believe he's at
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: over a thousand yards this Oh, he's almost at a
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: thousand yards, but he if he got one hundred and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: twenty six or more yards he got Timberland, that will
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: be a thousand yards for him on the season. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: he's averaging almost nine yards of carry. And you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: this is a big rivalry game. But I'm still gonna
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: pick how to cover here. I think they're the better
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: team and I'm gonna go with the over.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a tough, really tough go of it for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: how Central over Frances Hell going back decades now before
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the season, I think there's a lot of hope for
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Central that this could be the year to finally beat Central,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: especially with after you know, Shanaki saying he wasn't gonna
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: be the head coach and then literally like I think
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: four kids transfer to the house Central from Frances.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Hal or something like that. As from what I.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Remember, it's not really it's not been the year that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I thought how Central would have now. I wasn't saying
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that they were gonna, like, you know, go seven too
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. I just thought they could be
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: just as good, if not build upon what they did
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: last year, and it kind of gone backwards. France Hall
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they have I think for a lot of us, I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think thought they'd kind of be where they are right now.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: You know, four and three, maybe maybe five and two.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: They're doing okay, I mean, not great, not like a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: typical Branch's Hell team that we know of, but like
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they said, like they got Jalen Ballard, who is one
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the state at least
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the area, and a.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Good defense and that's that's enough for them.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So it's a home game for them, Senior night, Senior
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Night against how Central.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't think.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I it's gonna take a lot for them, I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to lose that given the circumstances. So I'm gonna have
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: how That's a big spread. That is a big spread. Indeed,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I'll take the over and I don't have I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: al is gonna win the game. But like, this is
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be how Central super Bowl, but I'll have
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: them cover. I'll have how Central covers. Okay, they they've
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: been in some a few close games, you know.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I take that back. I'll hell covering all out, Frances
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: help covering this one.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but uh it's hard to trust health Central
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: This rivalry is definitely more fun on the ice. These
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: two teams, and especially.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: These everything's a lot more fun in the ice.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: These two fan bases get pretty pretty aggressive during hockey season.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And if you've never been to a Halliver's House Central
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: hockey game, I suggest you go. Those can get pretty fires.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Definitely more competitive as well. Both those hockey teams are
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: usually pretty close. I'm gonna start covering more hockey this.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna give it a go.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna cover like the Wickedizer Cups and that's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: those things go crazy.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the Challenge Cup is the we're gonna have
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the higher one of the Wicked Iizer Cup is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: second one.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, we're gonna we we really need to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: go at one of those.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those high school hockey and Saint Louis a lot
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: of fun.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Those are great and hopefully and.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: How central and how are two of the schools that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: help contribute to that. But yes, anyways, on to our
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: next game, Highland at Muscuta. Mascuoter is paid by six
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: and a half points here the overs at forty three
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: and a half. Highland and Moscuita had decent so far,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: decent years so far this year in Misissippi Valley. Highland
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: coming off that tough loss to Waterloo, Moscuita winners of
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: five in a row, undefeated and undefeated in conference. That's
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: pretty huge looking at that outright conference title here, and.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: They've already clinched the share that we have been stressing
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to everyone so far.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And the question this one is how much damage is
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Sean Murphy gonna do? Because we saw Highland have a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: hard time containing Waterloo's rushing attack last game. And Sean
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Murphy has well over a thousand yards already this season
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: just through seven games, so if he can run wild
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: And I like Mascuito and lot in this one, but
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I think Highland's a decent teams. I think they can
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: keep it close. But I am still going to go
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: with the scooter to cover here, and I'm gonna go
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: with the under.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's not that easy to pick.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Island's had one of their I know they're not bad,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they've they've they've just been.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: They've been high and they've been a good program. Yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: so this one three is not to their standard.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And even a few years ago when by the way,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: this was like four years ago. Now, they came into
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Moscuita and kind of upset them and got a big win,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and it forced because Thailand had a tough year to start,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: but a tough schedule, and they the team they had
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in twenty one is probably better than the team they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: have right now in twenty five, So it's miscuito. Defensively,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they've been pretty solid. I mean they only allowed nineteen
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: points to Waterloo and one just they've just done enough,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and especially their last four games, they've just done enough
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to win the games. And their overall points spread when
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you average it all out, is like just plus three.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Like their their difference in averaging points Highland is higher.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: But they their defense has really struggled and Mascuto's probably
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: got the best defense in the in the conference, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to be enough to get them
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: over the edge and there last ever. I think this
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is the last week ever in the NVC as we
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: know it for football.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Hopefully it comes back. I mean it's giving us some
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: fun memories and.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: So I don't think.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think the conference itself will come back, but
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: maybe just in a different way, because it seems like
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it is roman it like for try to Mascuda.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I think they want to be in.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: This Southwest for a while probably. I think I think
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: their goal is to be in the Southwestern Conference forever.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think this this is it. I think
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: this really is it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And that's ultimately that's where you want to be if
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you're a if you're a school who's growing, you want
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to be in the Southwestern Conference and compete with the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: best schools athletically and probably overall in this region in Illinois.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with the Indians to.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Who are they going to cover? I think they'll win.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the under. So I actually agree with you.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Next up staying in the Metro East, stay in the
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Missipi Valley. Actually we got tryout at Waterloo. Waterloo's paid
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: by four and a half points. Here the over runs
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: at forty and a half. We talked about Waterloo's big
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: win against Highland last week and how Waterloo's variety of
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: athletes has been an amazing forums so far this year.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: A Dress sales sixteen touchdowns for him so far, He's
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: been amazing. Owen Niebrog he has been great for him.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And their offense has been there pretty much all season
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: besides a few games.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the the Waterloo offense has been pretty reliable,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: and you know, defensively, Try has been pretty good. I mean,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: even in their losses, their defense has really just been
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the high point for him. I mean they lost to
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: their one conference lost in Mascuita was the sixteen to
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: seven game. Yeah, this Triaud defense has been pretty solid
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: all year. I mean, they got some great athletes in
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the Try like Dawson death, Roge, Mason, Priest, Jade and Howell.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: So I think this is gonna be a really close game.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: But ultimately I think I think Waterloo I just has
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: a little too much for Trying to handle. I think
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Waterloo is gonna win the game. It's gonna be a
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: close one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: This I don't know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: These are the top two teams defensively in the UH
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: in the conference here, and You're right about Try. Other
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: defense has really been the reason why they're four and three.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Huge game for both teams. Highland, I mean they could
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: feasibly lose these I mean they got Waterloo and Collins
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: will coming up. They could feasibly lose both of these
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: games and miss the playoffs.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Because nothing makes sense. I'm gonna go with Waterloo to cover,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with the over.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm kinda yeah, you're reading my mail on that one.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: That was what I was thinking initially, but I could,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you know what, I think, I'll actually take the under.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I think Colin, I think Waterloo's gonna win and cover,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: but I'll actually take the under in this one. Thinking
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: more about it, Try has struggled a lot on defund
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: offense though this season they've been really inconsistent. I mean,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: they had that great game against Highland, but have not
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: really followed up with that at all.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Waterloo, on the.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Other hand, they the only two times they haven't scored
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: over thirty points.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Is when they've lost, and that was to Columbia and Moscuita.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: In fact, they actually didn't even break over twenty points
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in that game, so really, whenever they haven't scored more
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: than twenty they have lost.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be a fun game again.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I think got we got two pretty good games right
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: here to cap the MVC off in style, hopefully in football,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and Waterloo for probably will get in at five and four,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: but to make sure they so I looked it up
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Rochelle there four and three, and they have the Rochelle's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: far away from here too, like they were kind of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: they were in northern Illinois, so not it would not
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: be uh, you definitely would want to have that six
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: win and not having to rely to get that extra
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: win making the trip all the way up there in
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: week nine, and especially when you know Rochelle they're four
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and three. I don't know what they're gonna be like,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: but they could be four and four and they'll be battling.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: For their lives in that game too.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So the Bulldogs are really gonna need this This win
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: ever tried and same goes both ways.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And that's what honestly makes Illinois football more fun than
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Missouri football. Roman, I just gotta say, yeah, it's.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: A hot take. A lot of Missourians is not gonna
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of Missourians would agree, knowing them
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and knowing the typical Missourian.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: You know, me being a Missourian, I prefer Missouri over
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Illinois and pretty much literally everything we're just.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Talking about, high school fo.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: High school football included, the quality of roads we drive on,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: as all the taxes we pay, pretty much everything. I
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: prefer Missouri. So you know, nothing against the residents of
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: the Metro East. I love the residents of the Metro East.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: They're very nice people, and I love going over there
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: and watch are great.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And in Metro Restinois some of the best people.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: People are amazing. They're just victimized by they're not as
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: good state in my opinion. But anyway, that got super
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: off track.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of people can probably read into what you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: believe outside.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Oh that doesn't that doesn't even matter. It does not matter.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's good.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: As long as you don't matter what people think, then
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's that's a good quality to have.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: What I care is what our next game Warranton at
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Orchard Farm. That's the genous North Match's.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Nice little transition there.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Orchard Farm is faired by sixteen and a half. Here
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the overs at fifty five and a half. Orchard Farm
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: very quiet seven and oh so far they've played somewhat
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: of an easy schedule, but that is.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: An understatement Roman that.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, given how or they've played, they're the best
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: team they've played is Holt, but the best.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Team they play. Okay, Yeah, I was gonna I was
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: about to say something really stipid.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you're right to be honest here, the Orchard
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Farm is not some small school powerhouse like blair Oaks,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: all right, Like this seven though, it was great for
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Orchard Farm no matter what year it is. It's it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: good for them to keep building on what they've been
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: doing there.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I just would have liked to have seen one or
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: two non conference games of them just kind of really
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: branching out and playing playing someone that would really test him.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And I mean, this is this is one of the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: best classes they've ever had, their senior class, I would imagine.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know the history of Orchard Farm,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: but I know it's they've I don't I don't. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: don't know if they've ever played for quarterfinals in football before.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure. But what I can tell you is
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: that coach Chris Lindolph is an amazing job for that
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: so far. I mean, I know, shoot, I mean, it
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: was I think it was like four years ago where
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: they were still at their old building. It was I
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: think him and one of their coach out there for
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: summer practice, and they had thirty five guys. Yeah, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: they they were they were grind and in doing what
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: they could in the summertime. I mean, if I think,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and I think twenty twenty two was his first year,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I think, but you know, they were two and eight
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: that year. They were terrible, and they played the very
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: similar schedule they have this year, and they were too
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: and eight. And now here they are at seven to zero.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: They've been consistently dominant seas they should beat. Beating Colinson
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Clair is really amazing.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: QB.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Colinson Clair is a dog man. He is so good.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: He leads the team in rushing yards as well. He's
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: making a good case for all that show. But hopefully
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: they can hopefully he can have some good games as
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: good teams in the playoffs really prove his case. But
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: they've been a machine so far this year. I'm gonna
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: pick Orchard for him to cover here, and I'm gonna.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Go with the under Yeah, Sint Claire, I would I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: would kind of put I mean different types of quarterbacks
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and different maybe levels that's so to speak.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: But I like we've kind.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Of had three quarterbacks who have been really really efficient
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and dual threat and passing and rushing with I think
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: mclawn at CBC, but then Collinson Clair and then Cohen
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Starr from Northwest. I think those guys have really put
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: up a lot of numbers this season. And I mean,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: obviously this is total recency advice because I just thought
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: about this, but I can't really recall like more than
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: three quarterbacks like that the last few years who've like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: been really good passers and rushers at the same time,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: like like at least three guys like what they've done.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So just throwing that out there, and if anybody wants
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to bring anybody else up that I haven't.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen rings a bell for me, but I feel
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: like we had some.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Good That's that's another conversation for another time. But yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: definitely uh worth to bring that up a little bit
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: for sure. Brady Metsek is another one of those, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Parker Perry from Festuss but I think been pretty good
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: too in that regard so as Phoenix, Isaiah a lot.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: We've there's obviously numerous guys that are worth in the conversation,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: but Sinclair, Stark, and McClellan top three guys is as
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: far as those categories, I'm not saying those are the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: top three quarterbacks overall.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So any who, Warrington Roman, they're a.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Good team, but I think Orchard Farm is just that
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: much better.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what the sense I'm getting,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're going off of similar opponents played.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: You know, Warrington lost the Holt by ten and then
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Orchard Farm beat Whold by eleven. Not saying that that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the big difference between them, but just illustrates a little
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: bit of what their seasons have been like a little bit.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And then Warrington they played a pretty good Liberty team
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: at the time. They still are good Liberty, but they
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: lost the Liberty thirty five nothing. And I just think
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: if you can get out early on Warrington, you're probably
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: gonna win the game because their.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Offense is kind of.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Whenever they've played against like I think good teams, their
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: offense is usually not the forefront of what of their success.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Their defense is pretty good though, but Orchard Farm is
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: probably the best.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe besides, maybe Liberty is a little bit better than
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Orchard Farm overall as a team, because I mean, Liberty
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: they play a tougher schedule and they were JC Central team, right,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: But it's close, it's pretty close, and Orchard Farm might
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: even be a little bit better. But Orchard Farm's got
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a really good offense, and I really like their playbook
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and their scheme, and Sinclair's a great quarterback and he's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: got other good options to throw to, and overall they've
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: just been a really solid team.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm I'm gonna have the take the Eagles in
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Do they cover that spread though, I'll be a little
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: bold and say they do, and.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I'll take the over.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Though whatever Orchard farn I mean, they're one game against
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: really they've been tested against.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: They did give up thirty seven points to Hold, So.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Going off of that a little bit, maybe they'll get
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: probably put up some give up some points against Warrenson.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So that's why I'm taking that. Taking taking that over shifts.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Their over to the suburbs. We've got Parkway West at Pattonville,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Pattonville Fair by six and a half years at fifty
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: nine and a half. That's a big over under, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of the Longhorn fans are not
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: gonna be happy seeing that spread. But if you look
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: at the waye Pattenvill's I'm playing recently, we didn't really
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: talk about their winning and second a couple weeks ago,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: which I think we should have because that was a
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: really good win. Pattinville beat Segment back in week six,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: fur you to twenty seven.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, kind of helped re solidify who they like.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is a team they may not have like
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the record to show for it, but they've been but
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: they're capable of beating good teams and like they've beaten.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: They got two decent wins over Written or in Secment.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at the team Pattonville's schedule
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: so far, their three losses are to three elite teams
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: in six and one in Mount North, five and one
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood and seven and O Lafayette, And they've beaten a
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: decent Writtener team, they beat a good Secment team, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: they crushed Hazel with Central and they're they're they've been
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: getting better week by week. And for Pattonville, we've mentioned
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Trevor Beckerman this year. He's now over fifteen hundred yards passing.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: They definitely rely on him a lot. They don't usually
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: run the ball too much, so this is gonna be
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: two pass evy teams going at because you know, Bret
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Adensmeiers obviously had a great year for parkably West, I mean,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: leading them to a six and one season so far,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: but they have still just really struggled to run the ball,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: and Pattonville can stop the run. So neither team is
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: really that effective of running the ball. So this is
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: gonna be very interesting to see. I think Pattonville wins,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: but I think parklay West kind of backdoor covers this one,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Go with the over Pattville. Pattonville is definitely more battle tested.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: In fact, they might they have one of the toughest
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: schedules in the entire state. Yeah, definitely certainly the area.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would say them and Marquet are tied
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: for toughest schedule.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Because pattvillint done it. After they play this, they gotta
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: go to they gotta go to Eureka next week. So
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: there their schedule is far from over, No, it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Doesn't, but they are They will be the one seed
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in their district because they beat written here. So we've
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: already talked to you guys about our opinions on that
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: district in past episodes. I got Patentville covering and I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: will take the over in this one. This is gonna
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: be a fun game and I'm gonna try to get
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: someone to film this game. I really think it will
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: be a pretty good one to watch. Speaking of our
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: next game, I will be here and that's Say Dominic
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: adm I CDs Sat Dominic is on a Saturday one
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: pm St.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Dominic fair by thirteen and a half through who over
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: is at forty seven and a half. Sat Dominic continues
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: their great season so far there at seven to zero.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: They beat Raala thirty eight to seven. M I CDs
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: coming off of fifty four to win Lutheran South. You
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: know that's been a typical Metro League win for them
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: for the.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: For the past many years, literally forever.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, m I CDs they have been. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: mean they're talented, they got eyes in and the you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Gay Weaver is a great athlete form, but I feel
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: like they just haven't I mean gave Weaver, Grham, Faust
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: or great athletes for him, and I just feel like
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: they just I don't know, they're just not offensively as
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: effective as I was. I was as I was expecting
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: of them going into the season.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Well, they do have a new quarterback, LJ.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Triplett, and maybe they give them a spark. Maybe he's a.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Little bit more of an athlete. And they don't have
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the Lutheran South stats, but he did. He was seven
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of ten for one hundred and twenty two yards against
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Lutheran North, one.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Touchdown, one interception, and.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I think he was he actually had been a decent
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: receiver for them, because he does have ten catches for
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty seven yards on the season for them.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I think he just gives them a little different look.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And obviously they it is Lutheran South. They're not the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: greatest team. But they did put up fifty four points,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: which is the most they've scored all seasons.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: I think sat Donald's defense has been really, really good
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: this year, and they held a good park Hill Central
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: team to twenty one, they held a good Borgia team
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: to seventeen, and everyone else has scored several less against them.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: So m my CDs is gonna need to figure out
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: their offense quickly, because this is a really good defense
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: going up against. I'm gonna pick Sat Domic to cover here.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the under.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I think this is a different look in my CDs
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: team here. I got do my CDs covering in this one.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: It's also senior day for them, so I think that
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: means something a little bit. I'm gonna take the over
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: here and I got my CDs covering. I think this
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: is gonna be This could end up being Sat Domina's
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: biggest test the season, honestly, because they just Borgia, park Hill,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Central Review Gardens. I just I think my CDs are
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: all better than those teams right now, so I'm quite
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: sure who's gonna win.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I have a slight edge to them. I see they
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: s in this one, honestly, but Sat Dominic I mean
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: that they are pretty tough overall.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I mean they should have all kinds of confidence going
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in being seven and zero, and I think they're they're clearly,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you know, pumped for this game, and British has seen
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: he's got twenty one touchdowns this one interception, so he's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: been incredibly efficient for them.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: They're there.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They got three guys with over two hundred and forty
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: rushing yards on the season, so they're you know, dynamic there,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and yeah, their defense has been really good, but I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: do think MCS is gonna give them something a little
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: bit differently there, so I.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I will take I will take the over in that
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: one there.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: So alright, next up, we got Farmington at Festus fastest
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: faded by three and a half. Wow Over is at
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: sixty five and a half points here the bestest coming
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: in at six and one of first loss of the
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: year was to de Cemit this past week. Offensively, they've
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: still been really good. Parker Perry has been a great QB.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: You talk about Branch Shashen twenty one touchdown or twenty
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns win interception, whatever one touchdowns w interception, Parker
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Parry does in one better twenty three touchdowns to zero
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: interceptions or thirteen yard passing yards for Perry.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: It does make you question the stats right there.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna trust Festus there to be honest, and.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He was he was when we saw him against hillsbro
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: He looked pretty good.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: And Farmington their offense has been really good as well,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: and putting up thirty five against Cape Central putting a
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: forty nine as popular bluff. They really the only game
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: they offensively struggled and was against Jackson, which you know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: it's not really too big of a surprise there, but
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: it's it's coaxactly there at Farmington. So you know you're
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: gonna get a very well coached team you're going against.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And I think this is gonna be a fun, high
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: scoring game. And just because the over under is so high,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I might as well pick the over, because why not.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with fastest to cover, and I'm
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: gonna go with the over.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I still I will take the under a little bit.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of points are gonna be scored.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Just a little tough right there. I Fastest. They I
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: really like them overall. They're well, I mean, I think
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: they're a little bit more well rounded than Farmington. Just
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: when you compare defenses, Farmington might be a little bit
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: better than offensively, but overall, I just I like Festest better.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pick the Tigers over the Knights in
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a battle of the black and gold teams here it's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Festus is a great venue to play ats, and I.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Think both teams are fairly battle tested about the same.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Fest is coming off of a
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: pretty tough game against this smet right there, so that
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: this is a big get back game opportunity for them,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and I'll take the Tigers to cover, but taking the under,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Sounds good. Next step number seven game the league. We
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: got all TAF at Saint Mary's on the south side.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: We got Mary's here by four and a half. Here
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: the over is at forty seven and a half. All
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: to coming off that nice winning as MIT today at
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: fiftey to thirty five. We talked about last episode how Stephen,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Stephen Brown and Brown had a great game for all
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Tofu to ninety one yards rushing. Jadie Ellington also a
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: great game at QB, so all tof you know, not
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: not as talented as you know last year. Tough to
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: be as talented when you have deer Hill doing your
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: off team, but still putting up a decent season so
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: far in St. Mary's quietly coming back with a really
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: good five and two years so far. I mean they
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: started off too and two with their two losses too.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: A couple out of area teams Elmhurst, I know it
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: was a Chicago area.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Team and Bradley Bourbone, not Chicago, but they're norder in
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Illinois school, I believe.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: And then they they defeated they're there, someone's mowing the
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: lawn outside of here. And then I think the win
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: against the tot was nice. They beat o'fallen, which in
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to win a.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Week three Holton might be probably their best win so far.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Because by the total, not A Colombia has been almost
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: beat for life. Yeah, they've been. They've been a solid
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: team so far. And you know, Riley Smith's been the
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: QB for the Dragons so far. He's been great, but
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Kingston miles very close to a thousand yard barrier. He's
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: gonna break down. He's seven yards with two games left.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: He's got offered from Wisconsin.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: He's been really good for the Dragons so far, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: that's always a tough place to play on the South side.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: And I think Saint mary Is gonna come through with
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: this one. So I'm gonna go with the Saint Mary's
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: to cover, and I'm gonna go with the under.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And then also Altov has just been pretty inconsistent this
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: season too. Saint Mary's has done a pretty good job
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of being competitive and pretty much every game besides Week
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: one against the Icy Catholic and they're on a three
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: game winning streak. Taking care of business there altof is,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: they finally kind of played a off defensively. They probably
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: had their best game of the season against Modern Day,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: but they had a really close call against Collinsville and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: then lost a heartbreaker to Mount Vernon, which is a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: game I think, looking back on the season, is probably
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: gonna haunt them the most unless they can, you know,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: win these last two well essentially their last four games.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: But this is a huge stretch for all to off
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: coming up, because if if they win this game, I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: think they'll probably qualify for the playoffs in Class three
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: no matter what, because I think they got a favor
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: relatively favorable opponent wins coming up. I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: find Caitlin's.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Record real quick right here, So just bear with me.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Caitlin's a team that gave him a good game last
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: year at Week nine. Yeah, Caitlin. They're five and two,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to assume that they're gonna be
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: a pretty tough opponent at least, and I don't know
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: what I mean. They're five and two and so they'll
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be playing hard. They're gonna be
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: battling for their you know, almost for their lives in
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a way too, so all tough. They really they need
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: to win this game against Saint Mary's and if they can,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: then it's a must win game for the save their
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: season against Cainland from Maple Park, Illinois. But I'm gonna
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: have to go to the Dragons on this one. They're
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: playing pretty well right now and I like their running game.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Their offense been pretty good so and they're overall just
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: looking like a good team. And I mean, I would
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: say they're if if Saint Mary's can win this game
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and then you know, maybe a small school drops off
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: in the rankings, I would probably bring Saint Mary's then, So, uh,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I'll take the over And I got Saint Mary's.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Cover, so sounds good. Next up, number six, Game of
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: the week, Battle on the g's essential. Here we got
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: North Point at Zimall North. The Panther is saved by
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: twenty and a half. Here the overs at fifty two
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: and a half. Zumalt North after a tough Week two
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: loss to Francis Halla, has really gotten back on track
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: in conference play. We talked a bit last episode about
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: East Saint Louis's point differential in conference playing and how
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's something like two Nuit thirty six to thirteen.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: It's something insane. Zumalt. North isn't that lopsided, but they're
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: pretty close. They've outscored their gc ES Central opponents so
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: far one hundred and sixty four to twelve. I mean,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: they've completely dominated their conference, which is part of the
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: course on the North side. Honestly. I mean they've been
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: the Panthers have really run that conference for over a
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: decade now, and they take care of business. That's what
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: it is, and that's that's they beat teams. They're more
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: talented then and they don't screw around, and that's something
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: that North Point has struggled with so far. I mean,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: if you look at North Point, I mean they beat Washington,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: which they should have, but it took them a miracle
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: pick six as time expired. That was one hundred yards
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: about Tyrone Williams at the end of the games. That
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: was a ridicular game. And they also totally blew against
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: them all South Whi's tough to see because you know,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: you and I both had big expectations for North Point
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: going into the year. I mean, they're a talented team
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: and they're pretty well coached, but they just they can't
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: quite break the seal against themselves.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I mean that's just how are they well coached and
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: talented yet we're talking about them like this.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Because I don't think their players know what it's like
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: to lead yet in close games, because their senior class
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: last year being you know, the only leaders ever in
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: school history really because they're such a new school, they
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: they're they're trying to find this new pack of kids
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: to lead them through adversity, and you know it's not
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: gonna be perfect. Like they're like, they're they're more talented
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: team than zoom All East and they beat them twenty
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: two zero, which you know, probably expected to score more points,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: but they came away with a win there and.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: It was actually probably closer than the actual score was
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: as well, because the East like four times to the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: ball like across the thirty yard line of North Point.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: So it's it's really about these players having the responsibility
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: in adversity and can they come through. And you know,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Zamal North has been there, done that, and you know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: fortunately for them, they have Jaden Barrelson back, which is
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: absolutely huge. Philipar Poassi has been a great running back
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: running quarterback for them so far this year, and Camp
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Truman's been good as well. So I trust coach Bacon
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: and small North too much and North Point has just
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: been too inconsistent. I mean, they the loss is them
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: all South is that's that's and it being that recent
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: is I can't overlook that. So I'm gonna go with
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: m Well North to cover here when the conference outright again,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with the I'll go with the under.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I'll take I got North winning North Well North, I'll
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: take the under as well, so we but I actually
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I got North Point covering. I think this is gonna
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: be a weird game in a way, like I think Mt.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: North is gonna come come away with the victory. But
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: every game North Point has been in has kind of
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: been close. So I'm just it's weird logic right there.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: But I just I got a gut feeling that this
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: is gonna at least that spread is gonna be covered
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: right there. Like I would expect nor zoomoll North to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: win probably by it, you know, so like thirteen points
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and thirteen to nineteen points something like that, but.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Definitely respect them.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: But I think I know last year's last year, but
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: North Point and you know what, I can't really use
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that example because north Points defense is different this year.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: But their defense hasn't been all that bad this season
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: so to speak. It's just their offense has been pretty inconsistent.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: So I know they had that shootout against Liberty, which
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: was always kind of going to be a crazy game too.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this, I know this doesn't make a lot
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of sense logically, but I just got North Point covering
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the spread.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: But I do have a zoom want North pointing the game.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, next mecho over the Metro East. We get Pree
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Central at Columbia. The Cougars are favored about eight and
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: a half points here, the overs at forty eight and
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: a half. Three Central cruising through conference plays so far
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: with a nice eleven point win against Rock Sanna and
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Owen Carrer has been a great QB forum. Cole Davis
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: been one of the more underrated backs in the area.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: He doesn't put up crazy stats, but he's gonna leven
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: touchdowns so far, we got eight yards per carry. He's
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: a pretty reliable for them so far.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Great two way players and running back in the linebacker.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they got plenty of dudes at brief central.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: But Columbia has been a good, scrappy team so far.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: They're also at six and one, so.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be arapy good way Columbia.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they're run heavy team who just finds
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: ways to win his games. Really. I mean, Jason Nelson's
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: been awesome for him average number seven yards per carry.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: And you know they're their one loss being to Freeberg,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: which I'm sure they which is when they would want
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: back because that's the one game where they're offense just
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I believe they had turnover issues of that game. But yeah, yeah,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: and that's that's the one game with the offense really
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: started out and couldn't really get things going. I say that,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: and they scored seven points last week. Last week was
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: last week was weird? Last week was they beat Salem
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: seven to six.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Pretty bad last week and they were they barely got
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: over one hundred year totally oards for the.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Game, So I don't know. I mean, Columbia's offense had
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: been good, mostly good, and then they just.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Then they were like overleague dominating by you know, maybe
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: like they had some really close wins, but their defense
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: has been solid.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: All the defense has been good, but offensively brief Central
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: has been a lot more consistent. So I'm gonna go
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: with them to cover here, and I'm gonna go with
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: the under.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree on all fronts right there. Three Central
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: covers and the under pretty much got spot on right there.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: But it's uh, obviously we think it's it's number fifth
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: five game of week, So obviously we think it's gonna
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: be interesting, and I think it will be, you know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: like we said, scoring game, And.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is important for Recentral to me because you know,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: next week what we should what we're gonna do.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a lot about you know, district seatings
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and standings and you know, playoff parables, and we're going
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to get into that too, So which is the most
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: fun part of the season. And yeah, so we're we
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: got a lot to look forward to.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: There, all right.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Next up, number four game of the week, the Battle
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: of Belleville. We got Belleville East at Belleville West. The
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Lancers are fired by six and a half points. The
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: over runs at fifty eight and a half. Bellville East
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: defeated Alto Off earlier in the year, which I guess
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: makes this the championship for Belleville, Illinois. Yeah, and Belleville
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: East Obviously, tough game is the East Lewis. Who in
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis other than CBC wouldn't have a tough game
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: against Daint Louis, that's the question.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it's not going to be included CBC two.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: But Belville West this is the must win. I mean
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: they're three and four right now. They gotta win this
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: game and they gotta beat Yoni to have a chance
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: the playoffs.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I think this is their biggest game in quite a
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: few years.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I think it is they get a lot in the line.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Caden Capel's been good for the Maroons. I mean it's
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: really him, Duande Taylor and Isaiah Williams that are there
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: kind of three guys that get most of their yards,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: especially on the ground. But Double East, I mean, you know,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: you take away the East Louis game. They've they've been
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: They've been solid on offense, but nothing crazy. I mean,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Caden Woulds been good and Josh Ware has been a
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: good running back, but it's defensively it's where the the
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Landscers have really improved him last year, and you know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Rulo leads the way for them. He's one of
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: the better players in the area. Really, they he's got
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: He's got a dozen tackles for loss so far this year,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: so that's incredible. And you know he's gonna be a problems.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be, uh, definitely a guy in the maroons,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: key on a lot, probably gonna hope they're gonna try
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: to probably send them double teams his way to keep
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: out of the mix. But this is gonna be a
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: close game, and I do think East Talent Edge is
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: gonna get it here. I think Rulo is gonna have
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: a great game. So I'm gonna go with the Lancers
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: to cover and I will go with the under.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: And by the way, I said, this is Bevo west
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: best game in years.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: They were three and four last year, going up against
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Beverle East in Week eight and lost. But really what
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: kind of cost him that was? They lost eighteen to
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: fifteen to oh Found the week before.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: But o'fallen's first win of the season last year.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I think it was and it was on a field goal.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think this will be a better game
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: than what it was last year potentially, although I still
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: got the same result predicted prediction wise, I got Bevile
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: East winning and covering, and I'll take the under in
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: this one. Actually check that, I'll take the over. Beville
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: East has done a pretty good job of putting up
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: points this season if you just look their average at least,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're putting up thirty four points a game
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: and then but East is putting up thirty game and
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: they're both in both But the problem for us is
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that their defense. They're averaging thirty three game and East
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: is okay, they're actually pretty decent, actually nineteen points a game.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: If if you're putting up if you're averaging less than
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: twenty points a game, you.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Know that's you got it.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Your defense is not bad definitely, But uh yeah, I
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: will go with the Lancers.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Everything you said about.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah Jonathan Rulo is pretty accurate there, and their passing
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: game has been.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: All right. So yeah, going to Lancers here.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Next up, men Meaca. On the Missouri side, we got
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: De Smet at Cardinal Ritter. The Lions are favored by
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: nine and a half points.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: The overruns at fifty five and a half. De Smet
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: coming off a big winning as the festist that was
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: much needed for him, and offense stays hot Thurs straight
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: game where just Met scores fifty six points. Gab Rodriguez
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: has been pretty good at QB so far for them
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: this year. And then you know, also looking at uh,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: what's his face running back on camp start thank you
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: over a thousand yards now, So that's good.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Sophomore, you know.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Rich James is he's a sophomore now, I.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Think, yes, they have a lot of sophomores on their team.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: So this is you know, they're definitely in a couple
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: of years, this Met's gonna be probably better. Hoping they
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: can just keep building year by year. Titan Davis has
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: been great, obviously lead the team in sacks, played a
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: huge hole in their state team last year. And for
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Ritter coming off of bye week, and you know this
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: is gonna be.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: This.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: I saw something on Twitter that maybe said I'm surprised
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I didn't see it earlier. Cardenalder got into a bit
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: of a scuffle against Masalon a couple of weeks ago.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: You hate to see that's that's been a national story.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: I know, hate to see that because it's like you
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: hate seeing when a team from her area goes somewhere
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: else and then acts a fool. Well, I'm not saying
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: that Maslin was flawless because they weren't. Like I'm just
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: gonna go out and a limit. Assume that both teams
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: were getting chippy and just doing things that weren't supposed
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: to do. But you know, at least what you're coached
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: and what you're What I hope Caron Rider has coached
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: and told is when a guy starts to try and
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: pick a fight, especially if the game is over, just
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: walk away, like just leave.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: It's hard, as I believe, I know it's hard. I
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: both it's hard.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I've been a player, like I've been this like it's
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: it's I've been a coach situation like it's it's tough.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: But especially when you lose, like you don't like it,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: like because I'm sure that people talk all the time,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: and then when you lose and like someone kind of
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: says something like you know you don't want to, like
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: it's hard just.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: To like walk away and let him get the last.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Word in you know no, But I just I wish
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: that raid or handled better, Like.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: I just I wish that both teams handled it better.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I know, it's what I just hate when it's the
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: bad look for our area.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: And then well, I think I think it just goes.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: It's disappointing.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: It's not really I don't think it'd be fair to
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: say it's a bad look for either's area.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ritter is a private school.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's just they themselves whoever, whatever, you know,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: if you believe in who the situation, I think it
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: would just reflect on them. And then I think for
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Masalon it would look not so good because that's their
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: own school, I think, in their own areas. So like
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: naturally you're a public school, and I think, you know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know who that. I'm not saying you should
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: judge either either or And frankly, I don't know the
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: entire details of the situation.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: But we did hate to see it.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: You hate to see it, and there is like I
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: don't think like the news, like Fox to whoever reported it,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think they did the greatest job of reporting
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: it because like we weren't able to.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Get a big the best video of it.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: But like you know, for those of you who follow
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I saw the press box view.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: That was That was the video.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: That was the video that Colin Rug on Twitter, yeah
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: showed and so that that was the best one.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: And yeah, well anyways forward, We've talked about how Ryland
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Moore stepped up and been a good As far as we.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Know, nobody has been suspended or whatever.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: But I do a couple of guys I do want
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: to give flowers to Jacques Felix and Marquis Jackson have
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: been great so far. They each have five sacks for Ritter.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be the X factor is can
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Felix and Jackson get to Gay Rodriguez. If they can
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: get to Gay Rodriguez, then I can trust Ridder to
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: win this game. But it's gonna be tough because if
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: they can rush Rodriguez well on pressure in the pocket,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: force bad throws, then they can definitely win this game.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: I think Rider wins, but I think the Smet covers.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: So I'll go to Smet to cover here, and I'll
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: go with the under.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I think maybe the biggest Feather and Ridder's
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: cap this season is that they're the only team that
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: hasn't allowed more than forty points to CBC all season.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's funny. That's true though.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and their defense has been really good.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: M h.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I've you know, I've said l dudes got one of
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the best defenses in Class five. You can definitely say
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: that about Ritter. They have a really good defense. So
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately both them and doing Ridder in the same
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: district as well, So I think you could have I
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: think they could have put Ritter in Class in or
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: District one.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: But that's a we've again, we've kind of talked about that.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: So it is what it.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Is, makes for it makes for a really competitive district.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really they come in at three and three.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is really their best opportunity
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: so far to really kind of solidify and get a
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: depending a signature win, and it would be a statement
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: win depending on how they they go about it. You know,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: if if they can if they can beat the SMET
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: by I think, well, really, if they beat the SMET
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: now they did last year they beat them by twenty five,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: that would be a statement win because I think de
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: SMET has kind of out and back into the back
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: into the spectrum of of being a really good win.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: If you can beat them, even if.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: You're a cardon Ritter, who's already really proven and of
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: they've played some really good opponents. Both these teams are
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: really battle tested. So and you know, just Met, they're
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: on a three game winning streak right now. They've put
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: up a lot of points, and their defense has not
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: been great, while Ridder's got a really good defense. Their
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: offense is pretty good. But if if you had to
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: pick a weakness out of Ritter, it would be their offense.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I would say not. And it's not even really a
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: weakness about them, honestly, in a game like this, I
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: mean it's I think one advantage that this SMET has
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: is that they have a senior quarterback and Ridder's got
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: a freshman quarterback, and that could I could see that
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: playing a difference in the game. But Ridder's got so
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: much speed and I got the SMET covering. But I
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: do have Ridder winning the game right now, and I'll
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: take that over though. I like that over there, all right.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Or sorry, I changed my mind. I'll take I'll take
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: the under, I do. I do. I'll take the under
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: in this one.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Because whenever in every game that Ritters played, when they've played,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like a team that really could beat them.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Their offense has not really done that well as far
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: as putting up points. I mean, they put up twenty
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: against Jackson, they put up twelve against DBC, and they
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: put up fourteen against Massalon. So that's where I'm going
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: with that with my logic.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: All right, next up, huge game here due at Kirkwood.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood favored by thirteen and a half. Here the over
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: is our forty six and a half. You you love
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: talking about those do defense and this is gonna be
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: their biggest test of the year since Week one when
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: they played Troy.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it definitely is.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: And again you know Mason Martin coming in and lead
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: the team in tackles. You said he had a pick
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: six last game.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: He had a pick six.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: That's huge. Bass Dixon leads the team in sacks seven
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: so far.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: He's a freshman, by the way, that's incredible.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: He's going to be a cornerstone of that defensive line
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: for a while. Yep, probably gonna get on metro. And
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: by the way, by the time he finished.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, he played a huge role in the
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: interception by I think he basically kind of deflected that.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know, he's he.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Severely altered the the the direction of the football, hitting
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: kind of the quarterback and through it.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: So he was You should get a lot of credit
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: for that pick six as well.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: And for kirk Kirkwood coming off a weird one but
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: a nice win against Marquette.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: It was weird in the first quarter, but then they
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: did they did what they should have done.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, after after the I guess i'll say fluke, he
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: touched down my Marquette. Kirkwood then went on a forty
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: nine zero run to end the game. So Kirkwood was
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: pretty trustworthy there. Cooper Owens another good game, and you know,
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: defensively they were pretty solid Red richardson the two sacks
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: for Kirkwood. You know, nothing out of the ordinary for
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: the Pioneers five to one so far, lost a one
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: score loss to an amazing Lafayette team. So I don't know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, can lead come through and be a really
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: good team. I don't know. I mean the lad has
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: had to scrap him out. Okay, Ladu has beaten Let's see.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I think Ritner is a good team. I think here's
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: what he is a good team. I think some of
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: it's a good team. So Ladu has beaten three good
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: teams so far, and they've really two of them have
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: been really low scoring, close games, and the Limburg game
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: was weird looking back at it, that was a very
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: weird one.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was back when I think Lindberg still had
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: some life and do and Limberg have had a lot
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: of Every game they played these last five year has
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: been really close to those scoring.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: This is this is the first elite team LaDou has
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: played all year, so we're going to see how they
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: can respond, especially defensively.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Kirkwood's going to have to throw the ball in order
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: to win this game because there their run game is
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: really struggled, and they don't have Colin Griffin they are
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: he's injured.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: The problem here for La Dou is I just don't
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: see I don't see their offense and I don't and
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: I I just don't.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: And I was about to say that's.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Why I'm gonna go with Kirkwood to cover. I'm gonna
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: go with the under because I just don't see La
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: DU's offense putting up more than twenty one points.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I was just to say, I was about to say
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: that lod was gonna have to put up points, and
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: that's just in general. I mean, they're most likely got
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: to do it by throwing, but that's been a problem
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: all season long.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Kirkld's got a pretty great defense.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Both teams have really good defenses, but I think the
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: difference is that Chase Cooper's had a solid year and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: they still have Jacob Eberhart on.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Both sides of the ball both.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: What's gonna be fun is that you got Mason Martin
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Jacob Eberheart to top ten players in the state on
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: the same field.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: And I think Lou's got a probably a better defensive
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: line than Kirkwood.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: But overall, like I said, both teams are.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Pretty stacked on defense, and the difference should be Kirkwood's offense.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: And I still have do covering that spread, but I
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: will be taking the under, and I do have Kirkwood
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: winning the game ultimately, and honestly, I mean, this is
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: a game that at the beginning of the year that
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: nobody would have given LDU a shot at. So the
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: fact that it's only a thirteen and a half spread
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: and has shown a lot work. I think a lot
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: of duw has made a lot of movements this season,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: so you got to give them that, and uh and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: really do beating Summit last week is probably their biggest
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: win they needed in the season, honestly, because they can
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: lose the Kirkwood and nothing's really got to change for them, honestly.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: And I can actually tell you personally that we do
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: was might have been overlooking sit a little bit because.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I know there really really am for this Kirkwood game.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: And I will give you I said, I thought, I
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: told you that I have Kirkwood, I have LADU covering, and.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Then I'll take the under. Yeah, all right, So and
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: This is a what I really hope moving forward for
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: both of these programs. I hope this becomes a top
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: five premier rivalry game in the area for football rivalry
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: interesting because it's got that potential.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: It has the potent, it has the potential if lad
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: can stay consistent.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: That's and that's what needs to happen for this because
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Kirkwood's as far as I know, for the last sixty years,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: they have been consistent.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: They've been they've been the most they've been one of
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: the most sure sure thing programs in the area in
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: the last sixty years and always being good.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Going back for the so as we do, but like
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: they'll do, will have like a few like they'll maybe
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: go like on a two or three year average run
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: and then we'll be back.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Kirkwood is always is always right there.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: So because right now, I mean, I'm Webster grows in.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Kirkwood is not a rivalry in football. It just is
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: not right now. It has not been for a while.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: And I think New and Kirkwood going back a long
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: time ago, we're big rivals as well, just never the
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: same as Webster and Kirkwood. So that's I would hope
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: that this this game can kind of spark like a
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: new a new rivalry between these two programs because they
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: play each other a lot in other sports, and it's
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: a it's a geographical rival too, because it's basically like
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: when you get to Manchester Road and Limburg that's when
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: the school district borders meet and a lot of kids
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: know each other from both teams, and it's it's got
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: to make it for a great rivalry and hopefully it
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: can kind of get reborn with this game.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Right here, all right, this is it right here. We've
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: been looking forward to this game for months, both teams
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: seven and Oh the MCC Championship CBC at Slough the
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: Cadets feared by thirteen and a half, the over and
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: under fifty one and a half. We've been hyping this
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: thing up for a while and fortunately both teams, through
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: some tough games, have taken care of business. We'll start
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: with Slough High seven and oh for the first time
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: and I think twenty years.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Over twenty years, over twenty years, it's at least two
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: thousand and five, and I don't know if they were
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they got the seven to zero
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, so you might have to
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: go back a little further.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: And this Junior Bills defense has been lights out. I mean,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Anthony Buzzby leads the team in tackles, but it's not
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: just him. Kevin McNutt has been all over the place.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Keithan Harris has been all over the place. Tyle Leige
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: has eight sacks. I mean, they got dudes all over
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: the place on this defense to the Junior Bills, and
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be probably the toughest defensive test that CBC
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: has seen all regular season, and that includes the Raven
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Gap team they had a couple of weeks ago and
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be the test for It's gonna be the
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: biggest test for slu Hi's defense all year, regardless of
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: the regular season, wor playoffs, because this CBC offense, yeah,
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: is one of the best in the Midwest, man.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: I mean not we they proved it.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: It's not just me saying that because they're a singlest
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: area team and you know that's their hometown team.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: They are amazing.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: I mean Nick McClellan fifteen hundred passing yards, eighteen passing touchdowns,
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Vic Williams nine thirteen rushing yards, ten rushing touchdowns, Nick
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: McClellan six and forty eight rushing yards, twelve touchdowns. I mean,
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: they're near unstoppable. They have so many athletes on offense,
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Jayden Reed, Darien Jones, Corda Gage as well that are
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: big contributors for him. I mean, the amount of D
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: one athletes on this field is gonna be insane. There
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: are gonna be so many guys that are gonna be
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: playing high loan of football at the next level.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: If not D one, then just a lot of future
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: college players. Yeah.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, the amount of talent on this field is
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: gonna be the most talent you'll see on the field
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: in probably any game in between two Missouri teams this
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: year outside of the Class six state championship game, whoever
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: that may be. So this is gonna be hopefully an
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: unbelievable game. It's at Sleugh High at six o'clock on Friday.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: Gotta be the biggest game.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: It's the biggest game of the state.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: Biggest game of the state, easily biggest game at Sleugh
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: High in a couple decades since they played TOBC in
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: the final two right and.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: In four game.
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: I have to pick CBC to cover here simply because
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: their offense has been so.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Nobody can stop them.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: They no one can. Their offense has been so good.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: And I I wanted to be we'll be there. I
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: and I wanted to be a close game, a very fun,
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: entertaining game.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: We both will be there probably an hour before the game.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: I got a actually would make sense to be Actually,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: it will probably be there a few at least more
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: than an hour before the game, just purely because of parking. Yeah,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: and they got a great tailgate.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: They do not tail not tailgate, but they got like
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: they just get they got fun stuff going on. It
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: slew before the games.
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: Slew High fans, slew High crowd, let us know what
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: fun things are going on before the game. We love
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: to join the festivity.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to the coach Cruise about that.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: He'll be all over that and it's gonna be a
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: fun one. I do. I have to pick CBC to cover,
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: which I hate doing. Is simply because it's a big
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: spread and I wanted to be a close game. But man,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: they're so talented on offense. But I'm gonna go CBC
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: to cover and I'm gonna go with the under. But
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: is Slew High can pull off the upset?
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: This is the thing. This is It feels weird. It's
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: an upset because we're hyping up both these teams, I know.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: But like, if Sleu High wins this game, this would
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: be the biggest non state championship winner school's history.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: It'll be their easily their biggest win in the twenty
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: first century. Oh for sure, for sure, I don't care.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: I don't care who they had to be in order.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Probably their biggest win in the twenty first century is
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: then being the smat on a late field goal. I
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: think to get to the final four game, probably, but yeah,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: in a really long time, and they've got a long
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: these two programs have a long history with each other
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: as well, and honestly, CBC winning they have a winning
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: record over SLEW historically. I mean, obviously if they hadn't
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: there the last twenty five years, they've really made them
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of ground on that.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: But CBC has won the last twenty three matchups.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: So it isn't it's an upset no matter what. Almostly
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: almost because of just.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: That in twenty years since the Junior Bills won this game.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you want them to win, don't you.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: I work at SLU Hospital, so.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: And that's going to be how we get into the game,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: because that's.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: How it works, and that's at all I'm not I'm
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: going to root for a good game. I want to
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: root for a game I want to see. I want
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: to see. I want to see these boys on both
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: sides play a great game and make some great plays.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: I want to ever, I want to see it ones
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: stay healthy. That's what I want to see.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: My ego probably would want CBC to win because I
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: did say they are the best team Missouri and for
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: that to happen, I got I would, and I don't
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: really care, honestly, This is just my sports ego talking here,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: is that, like, hey, they better back up that claim
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: by winning every game and convincingly. But no, you're right.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: We root for close games. We want we root for
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: really good games, and I I do I don't want
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want CBC to like go out and like
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Gangbusters and get a twenty eight point ly in the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: first step.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see that. That would be my heart, man,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want to that.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not rooting against CBC. This just that would that
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: would that would be tough to see.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: If that happens, then like we will be that, then
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: we'll be CBC, CBC, CBC. I would want them to
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: come back and to make our game go up.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: Twenty eight zero in the first quarter. They are winning
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: state easily. It's not going to be close, right, It's
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: not gonna be close against that defense.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: They got a top ten defense in the state. Oh
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: for sure, for sure. Yeah. It's nice that we can
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: agree on that one.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, So who you got here? That's a
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: big I think it's We've made it clear. I'm going
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: to CBC in this one, and I'm going to and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: I got to take them to cover as well.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: They're that good. I mean, this is, this really is.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: I've been hesitant to say that I have not been
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: I have I have totally been bullish on me thinking
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: they're the best team in the state. But you know,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I have a special place in my heart for that twenty.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Eighteen CBC team.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: If CBC can in this game convincingly, than they are
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: giving that twenty eighteen CBC team a run for their money.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: And we have gotten flack for the last several weeks
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: now of ranking CBC ahead of East St.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Louis. I'd like to see that Eas St.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Louis team try and play defense on the CBC team
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: because it's it's it's look, talk is cheap. Everybody says, oh,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: everybody says, well, at least Lois peoples like they would
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: dog walks CBC. But well, okay, look, you guys haven't
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: beaten your the teams that the national teams that you're
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: supposed to you're playing. And then but here's the thing,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: CBC would be doing exactly what Easting Louis would be
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: doing in the Southwestern Conference.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Given given how CBC beat Raven Gap, there's probably three
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: or four teams in the country that are capable of quote.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Dog walking CBC, Yeah, I don't.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone outside of Bosco and who
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: are Canyon and maybe maybe IMG and honestly even probably
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: not even IMG. I don't know if anyone could.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: Since we're doing hot takes right now, I might as
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: well keep going. CPC has got a better offense in
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: East Louis. Yeah, I would agree with.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: That now eas St. Louis is probably better, Like, they
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: probably have a better defense than CBC, But CBC they
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: have the best. They have one of the best offenses
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: in the Midwest and maybe top fifty in the country
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: at this point.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: So the number three team in the country. Grayson, they
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: are eight and oh they're from Georgia. They actually played
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Raven Gap week two and one by five CBC.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, guys, they beat Raven Gap by ten.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: And you know, I know it doesn't work that way
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: the transitut property is someone inconsistently, it doesn't.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: But we're gonna put that out there because that is
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: gonna trigger.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: We're gonna throw it out there. We're gonna throw out.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: And people like people eat stats. Those stats up though, hm,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, because they're where's Grayson.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Ranked Grayson Is ranked by Max Preps is the third
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: best team in the country.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: There you go, There you go. Man, you leave you
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: either a DIA hero.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: You live long enough to see yourself defend CBC the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: high House.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. That's seriously, who would have thought we'd be
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: here defending CBC. That's funny, would it be?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're that's just us that well.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but do you agree with
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: that ranking CBC number one in the area?
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Come on, okay?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: And one, the thing is that it's nothing against East Lewis.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: East Louis is an amazing team, and it's it's CBC
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: East Louis at one and two pretty close together and
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: then a very large gap.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: What's crazy, gets.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: Anything disrespecting East Louis.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Lafayette is that we agree Lafayette's the third best team
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: in the area.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: St. Lewis or Turbo Clock Lafayette and if.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's literally the Grand Canyon from that third spot
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to the top two to the two spots.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: And again, it's nothing against East Louis or Lafayette. It's
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: just the talent gap is that big?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: And Lafayette don't think anybody maybe unless it's a few
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: parents or whatever who would argue.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: That they they they think their son's football team is
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: better than East St. Louis's team.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: It's like, you probably could have found a parent of
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: one of the players on the USA nineteen to eighty
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: hockey team that thought like, oh yeah, we definitely, we
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: thought all along they were gonna beat the Soviet It's
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: like they're a better team than them. Yeah, it's like,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: that's just it sounds crazy and yeah, so it's ah
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: and by the way, nobody gets nobody. Everybody forgets that,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Like literally two days after that game, they beat Finland
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: four to two after like a super emotionally charged game
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: and to win the gold medal.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: So that was just nice, all right. Yeah, I can't
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: wait for CBC versus SLEW in this game.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: It will be the first time in a while that
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I've seen CBC like during the regular season in person,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: besides the playoff game. So I'm really looking forward to that.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Like you said, it's it's it is literally one of
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: the biggest sporting event well.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, not sporting events. That's that's pretty broad because there
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: have been some big cardinal games.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: And big Blues games, Stanley Cup for this, I know
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: you're right football though, football.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: This is I mean outside of it. I mean take
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: what you want with the battle Hawks. I mean, like
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: you know, they they play very high level football that
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: a lot of people care about.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: But that's a good tweet though.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: But this is one of the biggest games football games
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: in the city of Saint Louis and quite a while.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be hyping this game up all week, guys
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: like I might make out a little hype video every
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: every day. I'm so excited for this game. So thank
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: you guys as always for listening to this.

• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: I would even though Ludu Kirkwood is a great, great
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis County you know, historical football game, but CBC
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: slew two undefeated teams.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: That's pretty high up there.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: So we got we got some big time games, especially
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: those top three games between you know this smet Ridder,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: which again is not it's probably notch below as far
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: as games in.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: The city goes. Downtown Saint Louis on Friday is gonna
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: be rocking well.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Slue Hyees in Midtown and ritter Is. I guess you
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: could say, you know, that's off that's off Grand, that's
• 1:07:18
