Transcript
- 0:14Speaker 1: How are you feeling today? This is a glorious Sunday morning,
- 0:17Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I'm feeling great.
- 0:18Speaker 3: It's a great day, wasn't I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Wasn't the best week of high school football?
- 0:23Speaker 2: A lot of blaeouts. I mean, you kind of called
- 0:24Speaker 2: it the last week's show.
- 0:25Speaker 4: I was a little long, though. I think there were
- 0:27Speaker 4: some pretty good games.
- 0:28Speaker 3: There were, I mean there were some there were some
- 0:29Speaker 3: good games. There were some surprising results. But you know,
- 0:33Speaker 3: I think it was fun. I think it was definitely entertaining.
- 0:35Speaker 3: I saw some impressive things from some teams.
- 0:38Speaker 2: But yeah, we're live right now.
- 0:39Speaker 3: This will be the same exact podcast we usually do,
- 0:42Speaker 3: just in live formats that y'all can look back on
- 0:45Speaker 3: YouTube as well. But yeah, let's get into it. I mean,
- 0:50Speaker 3: first game, or actually before, we love the first game.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Hopefully this show becomes big enough on YouTube to where
- 0:55Speaker 3: we could eventually have you know, maybe some fan Q
- 0:58Speaker 3: and A segments, some coaching player interviews maybe, I don't know,
- 1:03Speaker 3: just hopefully add stuff over time.
- 1:05Speaker 1: It's kind of the plan, and maybe maybe we can
- 1:07Speaker 1: grow some merch. Right here, you see the helmets right here,
- 1:10Speaker 1: GAC bias confirmed by the way Saint Charles West Zumalt North.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Maybe we can get some Saint Louis Subourban schools or
- 1:18Speaker 1: some some MCC or some other private schools on here.
- 1:21Speaker 1: If it's you guys up to you guys to step
- 1:24Speaker 1: up and want us to give us, give us that
- 1:25Speaker 1: opportunity and showcase your school right here. So hopefully it
- 1:28Speaker 1: can grow to that point.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Yeah, we will always accept free football helmets and that
- 1:32Speaker 3: will always be freezing. Well, come here at GSP Studios anyway,
- 1:35Speaker 3: All right, Game of the week, Well, I mean it
- 1:38Speaker 3: didn't want to.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Turn into the Game of the week because it was
- 1:40Speaker 2: kind of a blow out.
- 1:40Speaker 3: But the result of the week has to be CBC
- 1:44Speaker 3: crushing the Smith fifty six to thirteen the final score
- 1:48Speaker 3: in this one. And as as Josh Pate would say,
- 1:52Speaker 3: the paper popping stat for this one has to be
- 1:56Speaker 3: CBC's rushing attack.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 2:00Speaker 3: As a team, the Cadets had thirty two carries for
- 2:03Speaker 3: five hundred and seventy four yards, Yes, five hundred and
- 2:06Speaker 3: seventy four.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Yards over seven hundred total yards as a team, which.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Is seventeen point nine yards per carry, Oh my goodness.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And there.
- 2:15Speaker 3: There is clearly no love lost in this rivalry. There
- 2:18Speaker 3: was no mercy. CBC was up twenty eight thirteen of
- 2:22Speaker 3: the half and then decided they just scored twenty more
- 2:24Speaker 3: points in the second half. I mean that Desmets scored
- 2:27Speaker 3: a couple times at the end of the second quarter
- 2:29Speaker 3: to make it, you know, she's not a complete blowout
- 2:32Speaker 3: yet respectable, but CBC was not having that. And it
- 2:36Speaker 3: looks like there were two Vic Williams runs in the
- 2:39Speaker 3: third quarter that were the first play of the drive
- 2:42Speaker 3: because there are both eighty yard.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Runs one sixty yard to eighty.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Yeah, just the explosive plays. Playability by CBC is insane,
- 2:53Speaker 3: and you got some of the game playing behind us
- 2:55Speaker 3: in the background.
- 2:56Speaker 2: This is just from the CBC live stream on Huddle
- 2:58Speaker 2: that they have. They don't have a highlight film out yet.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But hopefully they can get that out soon and we
- 3:04Speaker 3: will only play highlight players to go over this.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Game, and we will have a highlight video of that
- 3:08Speaker 1: game too. We had someone film that game, so we
- 3:10Speaker 1: will get you that game at least maybe later in
- 3:14Speaker 1: the night or or tomorrow on Monday, but we will
- 3:16Speaker 1: have it on our YouTube page for you guys. To
- 3:19Speaker 1: see at your pleasure for sure.
- 3:21Speaker 2: I mean a few of the guys.
- 3:22Speaker 3: We've got a highlight for CVC here, Nick McClellan eight
- 3:25Speaker 3: of twelve passing two or four passing yards and three
- 3:27Speaker 3: passing touchdowns.
- 3:29Speaker 2: That alone is a great game. And then he has.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Great carries for one hundred and eighty six rushing yards
- 3:35Speaker 3: and one rushing touchdown.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Unbelievable stat line for him.
- 3:37Speaker 3: And then Vic Williams with the game of his career
- 3:39Speaker 3: and like insane performance nine carries, two hundred and eighty
- 3:43Speaker 3: three rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns, and he also had
- 3:46Speaker 3: one catch for seven yards one receiving touchdown. And I
- 3:48Speaker 3: also did some quick math here according to basic Fantasy
- 3:53Speaker 3: PPR points, he would have had fifty four fantasy points
- 3:57Speaker 3: this past week.
- 3:58Speaker 1: That's insane, which is crazy.
- 4:00Speaker 2: And then Jane Reid also had a good game.
- 4:01Speaker 3: He had three catches for one hundred three and three
- 4:02Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns and also in a shadow of
- 4:05Speaker 3: Cordier Gage.
- 4:06Speaker 2: He's one of the all round best players.
- 4:07Speaker 3: He had nineteen rushing yards, forty receiving yards, made four tackles,
- 4:10Speaker 3: and Cordie was eight of eight on extra points, So
- 4:13Speaker 3: definitely all around contributed there for the Cadets, and their
- 4:17Speaker 3: offensive line looks so good.
- 4:18Speaker 2: John holy Count.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Yeah, they returned about I think four starters from last year,
- 4:22Speaker 1: and there was a lot of good vibes going into
- 4:25Speaker 1: there this season because they returned McClellan, They returned I mean,
- 4:29Speaker 1: Vic Williams wasn't more of a no name guy. But
- 4:31Speaker 1: Courtney Reid hasn't really featured as much this season, but
- 4:34Speaker 1: he was a returning starter at running back, then obviously McClellan,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and then at quarterback, then Gauge coming back at receiver. Yeah,
- 4:42Speaker 1: they had a lot of pieces in place there. Yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 1: but their defense has been I wouldn't say equally as good,
- 4:48Speaker 1: just because their offense has just put up god tier
- 4:50Speaker 1: level of numbers so far, but their defense has certainly
- 4:53Speaker 1: gotten the job done and in a more than capable
- 4:56Speaker 1: unit there. Yeah.
- 4:58Speaker 3: So literally right before we started going live, so Riley
- 5:01Speaker 3: about two forty five, Dismet finally put their stats in.
- 5:05Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna get mad at them.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Usually it's a tough pull of swallow when you had
- 5:09Speaker 3: to put your stats, and after a loss like this,
- 5:11Speaker 3: I mean kiv Gabar Rodriguez actually had a decent game.
- 5:14Speaker 3: He was twenty two to thirty seven, one hundred and
- 5:16Speaker 3: nine passing yards, one touchdown. You know, their big name
- 5:20Speaker 3: tight end Ridge James at a decent game. He had
- 5:22Speaker 3: ten catches for eighty seven yards and Cam Sharp got
- 5:25Speaker 3: both the dismessed touchdowns this game and its Met's one
- 5:29Speaker 3: to three now and this is their worst start since
- 5:32Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, when I believe they finished one and nine.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna finish one and nine. But
- 5:38Speaker 1: no way to do, no, no way. It's they lost
- 5:41Speaker 1: a lot from last year. They still have talent, but
- 5:45Speaker 1: the teams they've played have been have been pretty darn good.
- 5:49Speaker 1: You must say they're you know, they've played a really
- 5:51Speaker 1: good like SLEW probably their best team in fourteen years,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and then another really great CBC team and then that
- 5:59Speaker 1: Create Prep game kind of got away from them there.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But they did beat Mi CDs, which is it's a
- 6:04Speaker 1: good win. Anytime you can beat them is good. But yeah,
- 6:07Speaker 1: this MET they're kind of going through the toughest part
- 6:10Speaker 1: of their schedule right now, and I think they're going
- 6:12Speaker 1: to get a little I mean, it's still a pretty
- 6:14Speaker 1: tough schedule, mind you, So I think they're about to
- 6:16Speaker 1: get a little bit of a breather here coming up.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I mean, well, look, with all the respect, with all
- 6:22Speaker 1: the respect, Viiani and Shamanad probably not the same as
- 6:24Speaker 1: CBC in slew right there, but but those teams are
- 6:29Speaker 1: are no pushover. So so the SMET they better you know,
- 6:32Speaker 1: you know, find a way to regroup and then come
- 6:34Speaker 1: prepared because you know, I mean Jani and Shamanad they
- 6:37Speaker 1: certainly have a lot of you know, revenge on their
- 6:40Speaker 1: mind over the years that the smet's kind of you know,
- 6:43Speaker 1: beat them up a lot. So see how that goes.
- 6:45Speaker 3: I think the biggest change from last year's this SMET
- 6:47Speaker 3: team is just defensive talent. I mean that this current
- 6:51Speaker 3: MET team really is not a bad team. They just
- 6:53Speaker 3: play a loaded schedule. And we're talking about the MET
- 6:58Speaker 3: defense of twenty twenty four. We're talking out one of
- 7:00Speaker 3: the best defenses we've seen this century in sing Loos football.
- 7:03Speaker 3: I mean, they had I mean Quincy Bias headline on
- 7:07Speaker 3: the defensive line, Davis the defensive line as well, and
- 7:11Speaker 3: they were able to almost completely shut down Nickson the
- 7:13Speaker 3: second half of that state championship game, and that was
- 7:15Speaker 3: extremely impressive and they still have some of those guys
- 7:17Speaker 3: from last year's team, but it's not like it's eleven
- 7:21Speaker 3: bulletproof starters on defense.
- 7:22Speaker 4: And they're young.
- 7:23Speaker 3: They are young, and they were they were bound to
- 7:25Speaker 3: take a step back, which is fine. It's even with
- 7:29Speaker 3: the cement in the high level of recruiting they do,
- 7:30Speaker 3: it's almost impossible to pull off a year like that
- 7:33Speaker 3: two years in a row. So I trust coach Merritt
- 7:37Speaker 3: to write the ship here. I trust that staff to
- 7:40Speaker 3: kind of figure it out. And even though if they're
- 7:41Speaker 3: not gonna, you know, go in some crazy playoff run
- 7:44Speaker 3: this year.
- 7:45Speaker 2: They they've got the program in good hands and they
- 7:49Speaker 2: are gonna.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Be pretty good. They're gonna be pretty good, I think
- 7:51Speaker 1: after this season, because they have a lot of sophomores
- 7:53Speaker 1: and juniors playing a lot of minutes here and you know,
- 7:57Speaker 1: so I think they're pretty good down there. And yeah,
- 8:00Speaker 1: just toughyar when you you just lost a really special
- 8:03Speaker 1: senior class. But it is what it is, and I think,
- 8:05Speaker 1: you know, we just got to talk about them what
- 8:06Speaker 1: they have now instead of just kind of, you know,
- 8:08Speaker 1: embark on the past a little bit. So but but yeah,
- 8:11Speaker 1: CBC keeps rolling and you know, we got a little
- 8:16Speaker 1: pushback from putting ranking them number one over East Saint Louis.
- 8:20Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you, but the reason why I
- 8:21Speaker 1: did it, we did it, I should say, I mean
- 8:23Speaker 1: we consulted is that CBC has just been darned good. Yeah,
- 8:27Speaker 1: and they've destroyed everybody in Saint Louis so far. Yeah,
- 8:31Speaker 1: and it's same what Saint Louis has done.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's tough comparing CBC's schedule and Saint
- 8:37Speaker 3: Louis's schedule.
- 8:38Speaker 2: True, because East St.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Louis goes and plays top ten ranked national teams and
- 8:44Speaker 3: they were able to keep it close with Bishop Morman
- 8:45Speaker 3: at least.
- 8:46Speaker 2: So that's that is that is impressive.
- 8:47Speaker 3: I mean, you usually, especially in the college football world,
- 8:50Speaker 3: becomes rankings, you don't want to just be the.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Guy that says, oh, well, my team lost clothes.
- 8:55Speaker 3: That's really good in the istory. Rank time is different
- 8:57Speaker 3: in high school. Yeah, I mean it's so much different.
- 9:00Speaker 4: There's so many different teams and so many different levels.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 9:03Speaker 3: But I mean we've got to get credit to CBC
- 9:05Speaker 3: here for scheduling Coroner Ritter out of conference, and then
- 9:09Speaker 3: it wasn't as much of a blot as this past
- 9:11Speaker 3: week against the smet but they they won that game
- 9:13Speaker 3: fairly easily against Carni Rittor, a very good corn Ritter team.
- 9:17Speaker 3: And next up CBC is hosting Lipskin mccauny, which is
- 9:21Speaker 3: a team from Nashville, Tennessee. Uh, they are actually one
- 9:24Speaker 3: four right now and Max Preps.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Has been ranking to the twenty fourth best team of Tennessee.
- 9:30Speaker 1: They play really tough schedule, that's been that's been pretty
- 9:32Speaker 1: routine the last few years they've played CBC.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Yes, so hopefully CBC you can get the job done
- 9:37Speaker 3: a home next week. And yeah, any final thoughts on
- 9:41Speaker 3: that mcc livalry game.
- 9:44Speaker 1: You know, not much. I mean CBC just absolutely was
- 9:46Speaker 1: dominating and you know, quite frankly, I wasn't really surprised,
- 9:49Speaker 1: Yeah to see the you know, the scores come in
- 9:51Speaker 1: when they were happening in real time, and it's like,
- 9:53Speaker 1: this is just who CBC is right now. And yeah,
- 9:56Speaker 1: so Cadets are rolling all right onto our two game
- 10:00Speaker 1: of the week, LaDue taking down Hazeled East seventeen to six,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and what was a defensive battle for for the most
- 10:08Speaker 1: part of the game. Right there, this is Leu's first
- 10:11Speaker 1: victory sent over a ranked team from the Missouri Media
- 10:16Speaker 1: rankings since they beat Pattonville in twenty eighteen and it
- 10:20Speaker 1: was their first time they did it at home in
- 10:22Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, those are pretty good omens because when they
- 10:27Speaker 1: did that both times, both those years they went to
- 10:29Speaker 1: at least the Final four. So I'm not saying that's
- 10:31Speaker 1: gonna happen this year. But down there, I know that's
- 10:35Speaker 1: not what I'm saying. And there's a sentiment that like
- 10:38Speaker 1: le new kids like want to say they're back right now,
- 10:41Speaker 1: like is this is this a legit? I think this
- 10:43Speaker 1: is a solid LADU team so far. I'm gonna hold
- 10:46Speaker 1: off on saying that they're back for now because well,
- 10:48Speaker 1: first off, I think their defense is absolutely one of
- 10:52Speaker 1: the best in the area. Their offense needs to get
- 10:54Speaker 1: a little better though, I mean you could see that
- 10:56Speaker 1: for most of the game right there. But going into
- 10:59Speaker 1: the into the game, LaDue did a fantastic job of
- 11:02Speaker 1: limiting Terrence Little, who was the essentially statistically the number
- 11:05Speaker 1: one running back in the area eleven touchdowns on the season.
- 11:08Speaker 1: He's a fantastic running back. He had a great year
- 11:11Speaker 1: last year. Lad just had a fantastic game plan. And
- 11:14Speaker 1: I talked to Mason Martin after the game, Arizona State
- 11:17Speaker 1: commit linebacker for LaDue, and one of the one of
- 11:20Speaker 1: the themes for their defense was just don't play hero ball,
- 11:23Speaker 1: just against a team like Kazlist. With their offense, they
- 11:27Speaker 1: run essentially a triple option. It's all assignment based, and
- 11:31Speaker 1: so you know, like what Martin did, he was just
- 11:33Speaker 1: he was always his job was just to take care
- 11:35Speaker 1: of the dive play every time. That's his role. And
- 11:38Speaker 1: then everybody get their fill in their gaps. And then
- 11:40Speaker 1: Gus Logan had a great game as a safety for
- 11:42Speaker 1: the Rams. I think he had three tackles for loss.
- 11:45Speaker 1: So he played fantastic game right there. They all did
- 11:47Speaker 1: on defense. And then probably the biggest play of the
- 11:51Speaker 1: game was an odd play where it was a fourth
- 11:54Speaker 1: and long deep in LDU territory where East there's about
- 11:59Speaker 1: like thirty seconds to go and we'll do had no timeouts.
- 12:03Speaker 1: East decided to I guess their punter, I don't know
- 12:06Speaker 1: if it was planned or not, but he decided to
- 12:08Speaker 1: take off and run and he was tackled the fifteen
- 12:11Speaker 1: yard line and so Lado with no timeouts, all of
- 12:13Speaker 1: a sudden, they have great field position, and then in
- 12:15Speaker 1: two plays they scored.
- 12:16Speaker 4: On a three yard touchdown pass from Jack ns.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Lay that Evan Vie, which is his first game back
- 12:21Speaker 1: after sustaining a concussion, so that was a big play there,
- 12:23Speaker 1: and LaDou goes up seven to six, and then they
- 12:25Speaker 1: just continue to play really good defense and then eventually
- 12:30Speaker 1: they worked their way down for another touchdown to put
- 12:34Speaker 1: them up fourteen to six. Hensley four yard touchdown pass
- 12:37Speaker 1: to Mason Martin and then LEADU added a field goal
- 12:40Speaker 1: later on with about fifty two seconds remaining in the
- 12:44Speaker 1: game to give them a two score lead, and that
- 12:47Speaker 1: was it. So they were really good on special teams
- 12:50Speaker 1: and their defense continues the ball out. I think they've
- 12:52Speaker 1: only allowed two touchdowns in the last ten quarters they've
- 12:57Speaker 1: played so far. They had last ten order, so the
- 13:00Speaker 1: news defense is really good. And uh, they're looking really
- 13:03Speaker 1: good at three and one right now.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll just three and one should be four more
- 13:07Speaker 3: on the guy. They're at Hageswood West next week. Here's
- 13:10Speaker 3: what West I think is one.
- 13:11Speaker 1: And three right now there and four and then they
- 13:14Speaker 1: got then they got Parkway Central for their homecoming game
- 13:17Speaker 1: the next week, and they're one and three.
- 13:19Speaker 3: If we if we can see a five and one
- 13:21Speaker 3: to do team hosting summit in week seven.
- 13:24Speaker 4: That's a that's basically a Suburban Reid Conference championship.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Pretty muchy So, both teams have conference games after that,
- 13:31Speaker 3: but the teams they play for that had already lost
- 13:33Speaker 3: conference games.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Whoever wins that game would get a share I believe
- 13:36Speaker 1: of the conference championship.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Yat.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, and that'd be great, I mean because
- 13:42Speaker 1: this is and that's great because I think, yeah, these
- 13:44Speaker 1: are probably both the two most talented teams. I think
- 13:47Speaker 1: I said that before the at least I hope I
- 13:49Speaker 1: said it because it makes you sound good right now,
- 13:51Speaker 1: but those are probably the.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Two best teams in the conference as far as talent goes.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Obviously, both teams have their own things to work out,
- 13:58Speaker 1: but yeah, some of their their bed right now. They're
- 14:00Speaker 1: four to zero and they're trying to go I think
- 14:03Speaker 1: for their I think fourth or fifth consecutive conference championship
- 14:07Speaker 1: at this point, wow, in multiple conferences.
- 14:09Speaker 4: So yeah, that's ultimately a.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Great win for LaDue over a previous I would assume
- 14:15Speaker 1: Hazelias falls out of the rankings now they're ranked tenth.
- 14:18Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean they're they're I mean aspart as
- 14:21Speaker 3: are three and one, and they're a good team, but
- 14:24Speaker 3: their wins haven't quite been the highest qualities so far.
- 14:27Speaker 3: I mean, they were the beat He's what West, properly
- 14:29Speaker 3: Central and the Clore. All three of those programs are
- 14:32Speaker 3: kind of low right.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Now going into that game against LaDou that I think
- 14:36Speaker 1: they of those three opponents, they were combined one in eight. Wow.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, And you know Haze has properly North coming
- 14:43Speaker 3: up in ME five and I feel that should be
- 14:46Speaker 3: a close game.
- 14:46Speaker 1: It'd be a pretty good one, and it's two.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Talented teams that have decent defenses. So we'll see how
- 14:51Speaker 3: that plays out. But hazel Woodies I would like to
- 14:55Speaker 3: get back on track obviously, and we'll see if the
- 14:57Speaker 3: offense can get back into it. We'll see if they're
- 14:59Speaker 3: go us can I mean, I'm sure blocking I mean
- 15:03Speaker 3: Parkward North linebackers wouldn't be as good as linebackers.
- 15:07Speaker 1: But Parker has got a pretty good defense though, and
- 15:09Speaker 1: they were they've I mean besides the Lafayette game they
- 15:12Speaker 1: play where they got blown out, which.
- 15:14Speaker 2: As I was saying what I was saying, I was.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Not such a bad loss, honestly. Yeah, so that'll be
- 15:19Speaker 1: a good one. But uh, Probably the best game of
- 15:23Speaker 1: the week we saw and could potentially be a game
- 15:26Speaker 1: of the season is North Point where the fifty one
- 15:29Speaker 1: to forty eight shootout victory over their Winsville rivals, the
- 15:34Speaker 1: Liberty Eagles fifty one to forty eight with a game
- 15:37Speaker 1: winning field goal with twelve seconds.
- 15:39Speaker 4: To play to cap off a crazy game.
- 15:43Speaker 3: North Point's got some dudes, man, Tavern Tyrone Williams, the
- 15:46Speaker 3: brothers are really good, and Michel Campbell's also really good
- 15:49Speaker 3: for the Grizzlies. They put up some crazy stats this game.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Tavern Williams the KB for North Point. He was nineteen
- 15:56Speaker 3: twenty nine throwing the ball ninety seven passing yards, two
- 15:59Speaker 3: receiving touch six passing touchdowns, one interception, seventeen carries for
- 16:03Speaker 3: thirty six rushing yards, and his brother Tyron had six
- 16:07Speaker 3: catches for seventy five receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns, and
- 16:10Speaker 3: he also had a ninety five yard kicker turn.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Touchdown in the first quarter. And then their.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Leading receiver, by Kel Campbell, he had eleven catches for
- 16:17Speaker 3: one hundred and forty receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns,
- 16:20Speaker 3: So a lot of big plays for the Grizzlies this game.
- 16:23Speaker 3: And then their kicker, Landon Manko, had a super clutch
- 16:26Speaker 3: game winning thirty yard field goal.
- 16:27Speaker 2: It's just twelve seconds left, and congrats to the Grizzlies.
- 16:30Speaker 3: The man there four and oh for the first time
- 16:32Speaker 3: in school history, and this is huge for that program.
- 16:35Speaker 3: I was actually texting coach Sant Grills but yesterday, a
- 16:37Speaker 3: head coach of the North Point Grizzlies, and he was just.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Saying, he's saying, they got some gamers.
- 16:43Speaker 3: And then he said, we just kept believing and even
- 16:46Speaker 3: on mistakes, our guys kept staying positive and they would
- 16:49Speaker 3: get the next play.
- 16:50Speaker 2: That's that's exactly the mentality you want from your players.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Is you know what, when you play football, you expect perfection,
- 16:58Speaker 3: so you expect mistakes, but not gonna accept mistakes and
- 17:02Speaker 3: that you know you're gonna mess up, but you gotta
- 17:03Speaker 3: get back, You gotta get to.
- 17:05Speaker 2: The next play.
- 17:06Speaker 3: You have to ignore your mistakes and get right figured out.
- 17:10Speaker 3: A lot of football and in one game it's never
- 17:13Speaker 3: just even in close games, it'll never be just one play.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Was why you lost a game? Sure, but yeah, congrats.
- 17:22Speaker 3: To the Grizzlies, crazy crazy win, several huge plays and
- 17:28Speaker 3: for this puts them in really good standing in the
- 17:31Speaker 3: g C Central, especially because this is this is one
- 17:33Speaker 3: of their main conference game tests here and looking at
- 17:38Speaker 3: how Zumale, Dumald South and Washington have got off of
- 17:41Speaker 3: their season so far, not looking too good. So North
- 17:45Speaker 3: Point very well could be seven to zero going into
- 17:47Speaker 3: Week eight, agains Zumalt North and that, similar to the
- 17:50Speaker 3: some Universal two game, could be a conference championship game
- 17:53Speaker 3: there later in the season.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it's a three horse race as
- 17:55Speaker 1: of this moment with Liberty, Zumalt North, and North Point
- 17:59Speaker 1: obviously got a huge game with Zumalt North and Liberty
- 18:03Speaker 1: this coming week, and if if Liberty were to lose
- 18:05Speaker 1: that then it would be a two horse race with
- 18:08Speaker 1: both the Zumont North's and North Points there. So Jalen
- 18:12Speaker 1: Mack had a great game on the ground for Liberty
- 18:15Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven yards twenty nine rushes and
- 18:19Speaker 1: I think he had four touchdown runs there you go.
- 18:22Speaker 1: So that was one of the better games of his
- 18:24Speaker 1: career there and it was almost if Liberty would have
- 18:28Speaker 1: pulled this off, it would have been considered to be
- 18:30Speaker 1: a great comeback win because they had they overcame a
- 18:32Speaker 1: twelve point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie a
- 18:35Speaker 1: game including what was it at that point the biggest
- 18:38Speaker 1: play of the game, a gamee short sixty two yard
- 18:40Speaker 1: fumble recovery with just under seven minutes to go in
- 18:43Speaker 1: the game right there. So so that was just a
- 18:46Speaker 1: great response by North Point there because it was kind
- 18:48Speaker 1: of falling apart a little bit for them, you could,
- 18:50Speaker 1: at least stat wise on the game story. But yeah,
- 18:53Speaker 1: they were able to looks like, have a good drive
- 18:56Speaker 1: and then get in position for a manageable field goal
- 18:59Speaker 1: right there to win the game with you know, being
- 19:02Speaker 1: really clutched like there by Landon manco there.
- 19:05Speaker 2: I'm not going to complain at all about Liberty's offense.
- 19:07Speaker 2: I mean, forty eight points.
- 19:08Speaker 1: They did the job.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Yeah, they did their job completely.
- 19:11Speaker 3: But zero catches for Jalen Mack, which I think is
- 19:13Speaker 3: very interesting because he was he had a lot of
- 19:16Speaker 3: catches in a lot of receiving yards the past couple
- 19:18Speaker 3: of games.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, that's not a problem.
- 19:21Speaker 3: They scored forty eight points, like that's you should win
- 19:23Speaker 3: the game if you score forty eight points. But I
- 19:25Speaker 3: wonder if north Point was deliberately trying to stop mac
- 19:30Speaker 3: receiving the ball out of the backfield. I don't know, No,
- 19:33Speaker 3: I don't know how that defensive philosophy went out, but
- 19:36Speaker 3: it was it was enough for north Point. Liberty qv
- 19:38Speaker 3: Slivman Thornton had another decent game ten of eight team
- 19:40Speaker 3: throwing the ball one hundred and forty one yards, one
- 19:42Speaker 3: pass touchdown, and he had seventeen carries for niney rushing
- 19:45Speaker 3: yards and one rushing touchdown. But the big the biggest
- 19:49Speaker 3: thing here for Liberty is the big plays. I mean,
- 19:50Speaker 3: their defenses couldn't stop big plays. North Point had three
- 19:54Speaker 3: touchdowns over forty yards and they also had that ninety
- 19:58Speaker 3: five yard kick turning touchdown in the first quarter. So
- 20:00Speaker 3: just too many big plays for north Point for Libery
- 20:03Speaker 3: to come through here.
- 20:04Speaker 2: They are now three and one, maybe a.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Huge test coming up in the week five mins and
- 20:08Speaker 3: Walt Morth that's a massive conference game, and you know,
- 20:11Speaker 3: I think Liberty is a solid team. I think they
- 20:14Speaker 3: have a chance to win that game. But they got
- 20:16Speaker 3: to be able to figure out how to stop those big.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Plays on defense.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so far They've been pretty good defensively
- 20:21Speaker 1: up until the north Point game.
- 20:24Speaker 4: You know, their defense have been pretty solid.
- 20:25Speaker 1: But yeah, that those north Point Liberty games. We've had
- 20:29Speaker 1: three straight pretty awesome games between those three teams, and
- 20:32Speaker 1: I they I don't think they play or are they
- 20:37Speaker 1: both in Class six?
- 20:38Speaker 2: Liberty is in Class six. I believe North Points in
- 20:40Speaker 2: CLASSI five.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Okay, so that's the last time we see them this season?
- 20:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can double check that real quick.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Okay, But yeah, well that was so I then that
- 20:49Speaker 1: means north Point they got the there the official Winsville champions.
- 20:54Speaker 2: That's right.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Yeah, that's well, technically the first time in school history
- 21:00Speaker 3: is last year they split this series at Liberty and
- 21:02Speaker 3: the bigger season Liberty beat them.
- 21:04Speaker 1: So it's interesting how but I think you DoD is that.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I think it's just judged basically just solely off of
- 21:11Speaker 1: regular season though.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean, if the foreseeable future, the four
- 21:15Speaker 3: Winnsivill schools are going to be in different classes. You know,
- 21:18Speaker 3: Liberty is gonna be in Class six, the North Points
- 21:20Speaker 3: and CLASSI five. Fourth Point is probably gonna go to
- 21:22Speaker 3: Class six sooner or later. Then Holds I think in
- 21:24Speaker 3: Class four right now. They're probably gonna hopefully go to
- 21:26Speaker 3: Class five later because they're kind of drawing redrawing their
- 21:29Speaker 3: boundaries in onz Bill and then Turmerlin's in CLASSI.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Five right now, I believe correct.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Yeah, congratsat with point three straight wins where their WINSWVIELL
- 21:36Speaker 3: Rivals is huge, two of which were my three points.
- 21:39Speaker 3: So that's just impressive forty two by that team.
- 21:42Speaker 2: And yeah, another interesting game that you're at this game yesterday.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I was able to Yeah, this is I knew
- 21:49Speaker 1: this was going to be a pretty good one, just
- 21:51Speaker 1: because it has been for the last five years. Pattonville
- 21:54Speaker 1: with a thirteen fourteen point come from behind victory over
- 21:59Speaker 1: there North County rivals the Rittner Huskies thirty five to
- 22:03Speaker 1: twenty seven. A range of emotions in that game, right there.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Some great players. Trevor Beckerman from Pattonville is their quarterback.
- 22:15Speaker 1: I think you got to see a little bit of
- 22:16Speaker 1: him in week one. He had a great game throwing
- 22:19Speaker 1: the ball. We don't have stats yet, is that correct?
- 22:21Speaker 2: Funny enough or like this smet about ten minutes ago.
- 22:25Speaker 2: They're listening. Hopefully they are listening.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Rittner has just put their offensive stats in and it
- 22:31Speaker 3: does does look too bad for the Huskies on offense.
- 22:32Speaker 2: I mean, they have they moved to Anthony Oota. He
- 22:34Speaker 2: had he had a fantastic game.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Anthony Odom had a really good game of quarterback for
- 22:37Speaker 3: the Huskies. He was twenty one and twenty eight for
- 22:38Speaker 3: two hundred and forty two passing yards. Doesn't say he
- 22:41Speaker 3: had any passing touchdowns.
- 22:42Speaker 1: But they all did. He had. He had three passing
- 22:44Speaker 1: touchdowns and then he had to believe a thirty four
- 22:46Speaker 1: yard rushing touchdown.
- 22:47Speaker 2: He had fifteen carries for one hundred four yards.
- 22:49Speaker 3: So Anthony Odom is quietly becoming one of the best
- 22:52Speaker 3: dual threat qbs we have in the area.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of some of the dual threat
- 22:55Speaker 1: stuff is more because he just they just need him
- 22:58Speaker 1: to run more because they run game has just been
- 23:00Speaker 1: a struggle overall. But he's kind of been a little
- 23:03Speaker 1: bit of an X factor of you know, hey, if
- 23:05Speaker 1: he can just take off and get some scrambles and
- 23:07Speaker 1: then maybe on some design runs that can you know,
- 23:09Speaker 1: spot some yards there. But yeah, and they're kind of
- 23:12Speaker 1: design run plays. It again, has been a pretty a
- 23:16Speaker 1: struggle for them. They didn't really get any big runs
- 23:17Speaker 1: off against Pattonville, but man, he was doing a lot.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And then Labron Ramsey and Montrey Montrey Banks were two
- 23:24Speaker 1: big receivers for them in the game, really good. They
- 23:28Speaker 1: were oute running there and breaking free and just being quick.
- 23:32Speaker 1: But so it was I mean, it was twenty seven
- 23:34Speaker 1: thirteen in the third quarter. But just knowing Writtener and
- 23:40Speaker 1: just knowing Pattonville, I was pretty confident Pattonville wasn't gonna
- 23:45Speaker 1: let Written to run away. And then the same token,
- 23:47Speaker 1: Rittner wasn't going to run away from Pattonville. And Larry
- 23:52Speaker 1: Martin had three rushing touchdowns in the second half. And
- 23:56Speaker 1: but what was a huge difference was Patna Written missed
- 24:00Speaker 1: a pat attempt, they hit it off u joinked it
- 24:04Speaker 1: off one of the right crossbars, and they made a
- 24:07Speaker 1: thirteen point game. And then essentially Rittner was they just
- 24:11Speaker 1: needed two touchdowns to take the lead, and that's what happened,
- 24:13Speaker 1: and UH changed the game instead of being a tied
- 24:16Speaker 1: game and then a one point game. And UH, Pattinville
- 24:19Speaker 1: really clamped down defensively. They did a really good job
- 24:21Speaker 1: of sending pressure on on Otum and they they just
- 24:26Speaker 1: did a really good job of buckling down and finally
- 24:28Speaker 1: kind of limiting limiting yards and were able to get
- 24:30Speaker 1: a few stops in a row and then and then
- 24:32Speaker 1: score on all on off of all those stops as well.
- 24:35Speaker 1: So it was a really great, uh, really great fourth
- 24:37Speaker 1: quarter execution by the by the Pirates.
- 24:39Speaker 2: There.
- 24:40Speaker 3: This is the Pirates' ninth win in a row over
- 24:42Speaker 3: their rival Huskies, and within the last.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Straight game where they've won by one score.
- 24:50Speaker 2: That's insane. Yeah, that's insane.
- 24:52Speaker 3: That just shows how tight these games have been the
- 24:55Speaker 3: past five years and the unfortunately the tail of the
- 25:00Speaker 3: tale of brutal losses for Writtener continues. They are one
- 25:03Speaker 3: in twelve in one score game since twenty twenty two.
- 25:06Speaker 2: And that one win was last week against Fox.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Yeah, where they had to come back where Fox.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, where Fox kind of kind of blew it.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Yeah, they had they had a I think Fox had
- 25:17Speaker 1: a seventeen nothing lead at one point in the game
- 25:19Speaker 1: and then an eleven point lead going into the fourth quarter.
- 25:23Speaker 1: But yeah, but you know, and if you want to
- 25:24Speaker 1: talk about the game real quick, Anthony Odum and the
- 25:26Speaker 1: offense did a great job of coming back. He was
- 25:28Speaker 1: like threading the needle on some passes he reads a
- 25:31Speaker 1: defense so well. So that was you got to give
- 25:33Speaker 1: a lot of credit to Rittner in that case. But yeah,
- 25:36Speaker 1: that's just that's just a big I don't know how
- 25:39Speaker 1: to really respond to that one. In twelve and over
- 25:42Speaker 1: four seasons now of one score games, so you know,
- 25:47Speaker 1: that's uh, I don't know what is that just on
- 25:50Speaker 1: bad coaching or just bad execution or whatever. I don't know.
- 25:53Speaker 3: I don't want to call it bad coaching because I
- 25:55Speaker 3: feel like Rittner has been unimproved program over the PA.
- 26:00Speaker 4: They definitely have. They definitely have been.
- 26:02Speaker 3: And it's it's hard to replicate pressure scenarios like that
- 26:07Speaker 3: in practice. I mean, you could do two mini drial
- 26:10Speaker 3: type stuff on offense, like especially for a seven on
- 26:13Speaker 3: seven type thing, but replicating that on defense is very
- 26:17Speaker 3: hard because your scout team offense is probably not going
- 26:21Speaker 3: to be as good as whatever varsity competition are going
- 26:24Speaker 3: to go up against.
- 26:25Speaker 1: I think it's more of a case of just just
- 26:28Speaker 1: handling the moment and just not like letting any pressure
- 26:31Speaker 1: kind of get to you or especially any doubt creep
- 26:33Speaker 1: in you.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Would you would think they would get better over the
- 26:37Speaker 3: years because you because you.
- 26:38Speaker 4: Mean especially after last week too.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and because they've brought back a lot of guys
- 26:43Speaker 3: on defense over the year. I mean, it's not like
- 26:45Speaker 3: it's not like Rittner has eleven different guys starting on
- 26:48Speaker 3: defense every year. And because they're new, they just don't
- 26:52Speaker 3: know how to handle pressure like they've had guys in
- 26:54Speaker 3: these situations before, in close games, and they.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Just that's just their third that's just their third close
- 26:59Speaker 1: game out of their four games so far. So I
- 27:02Speaker 1: don't know, but they had a third and it's their
- 27:04Speaker 1: second to it's their second game where they had a
- 27:08Speaker 1: thirteen point lead in the second half and they lost
- 27:10Speaker 1: this season, the other one to being to the do
- 27:13Speaker 1: at home. So yeah, I don't I don't know how
- 27:15Speaker 1: to explain that.
- 27:16Speaker 2: I don't know either. That's tough for Rittner. But congrats
- 27:20Speaker 2: to Padville.
- 27:20Speaker 3: I mean they won their two and two year a
- 27:22Speaker 3: good rebound after two tough games to start the year
- 27:25Speaker 3: against them on Northern Kirkwood. They got Lafia this week.
- 27:28Speaker 3: That's gonna be a tough one. But then if you
- 27:31Speaker 3: look at the back their schedule, they got Seconment. He's
- 27:32Speaker 3: with Central Parkway West and Eureka.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I think those are all winnable, well some of them.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Some of them are pretty winnable. And then but I
- 27:40Speaker 1: think they can be competitive in all of them because
- 27:42Speaker 1: they got it like their offense, and they have good
- 27:44Speaker 1: athletes all over the place. You know.
- 27:47Speaker 4: I think if they can get it right, they're a
- 27:48Speaker 4: pretty tough team to beat.
- 27:50Speaker 3: I think Padville is gonna screw up some of the
- 27:53Speaker 3: district standings for some of these teams, and some of
- 27:55Speaker 3: the teams are gonna be like, oh, we're the two
- 27:56Speaker 3: seedon Classics District one. We can be and if we
- 28:00Speaker 3: hold this, we can host two straight playoff games.
- 28:03Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. And then Pad's gonna come in
- 28:05Speaker 2: and beat you. It's like, oh, well, there goes my
- 28:07Speaker 2: two seeds.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And by the way, speaking, the district's Pattville and Rittner.
- 28:10Speaker 1: I guarantee they'll meet again in the playoffs because.
- 28:12Speaker 4: They're the same they're in the same district of only
- 28:15Speaker 4: five teams.
- 28:16Speaker 2: We'll get to that later.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we've talked about it before if you've listened
- 28:20Speaker 1: to our past podcast, and it's it's pretty wild how that.
- 28:25Speaker 4: All is set up this season. So all right, onto
- 28:28Speaker 4: our next game.
- 28:29Speaker 1: It's We'll go to the Metro East where Edwardsville finally
- 28:33Speaker 1: gets into the wind column.
- 28:35Speaker 4: With a forty eight to thirty victory over Belleville West.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Then the Tigers need this one bad and their offense
- 28:42Speaker 3: does enough.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I think that was the tail. I mean, I'll give
- 28:46Speaker 2: the defense some credit. Belvo West's rushing attack has been
- 28:48Speaker 2: good all year and.
- 28:52Speaker 4: They still gave up thirty points, which are still a concerned.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Like, I want to find the silver lining here Fedwardsville.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Their offense seems to be good, though they don't have
- 29:00Speaker 1: their offensive stats in though, so I would like to
- 29:03Speaker 1: shout out from their contributors on offense, but I can't
- 29:05Speaker 1: right now.
- 29:06Speaker 2: I don't have the stats and because they're not necessary.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Yo, Weaver has looked a lot better at quarterback this
- 29:10Speaker 1: year for them, so I'm assuming he had a lot
- 29:12Speaker 1: to do with those forty eight points.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's what a two year starter now
- 29:17Speaker 2: a three.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Year starter his second year starting?
- 29:19Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah? Are they're one and three right now?
- 29:22Speaker 3: Offensively they've been fine. They've been averaging thirty two points
- 29:24Speaker 3: per game. Just defensively been allowing over forty points per game. Yeah,
- 29:28Speaker 3: and Bubble West they were able to get four hundred
- 29:31Speaker 3: and seventy seven yards on offense this game. Caden Capel
- 29:34Speaker 3: had another great game at QB for the Maroons. He
- 29:36Speaker 3: was seventeen to twenty one for two hundred and sixty
- 29:38Speaker 3: two yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Interesting, he's he's usually been running the football this season.
- 29:43Speaker 3: And then he had eighty one rushing yards as well.
- 29:46Speaker 3: And then Isaiah Williams led the Maroons with hundred and
- 29:48Speaker 3: seven rushing yards and Nick Hankins game fis career, he
- 29:52Speaker 3: had nine catches for two hundred and one yards. Doesn't
- 29:55Speaker 3: say how many touchdowns you have, but I'm assuming he
- 29:57Speaker 3: had at least one or two.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Illinois could have used him last.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Yeah, we might.
- 30:02Speaker 3: We might touch it on some of the college games
- 30:03Speaker 3: later in the episode of John's up for it, but.
- 30:06Speaker 1: I'm up for it.
- 30:07Speaker 3: But Bilville West, I mean they're a good team. I
- 30:10Speaker 3: mean this we talked about a last week's episode. This
- 30:11Speaker 3: is always been Edwardsville game has always been a tough
- 30:14Speaker 3: game for him in recent years, and you know they
- 30:18Speaker 3: got I believe eas St. Louis next week. I mean,
- 30:21Speaker 3: this is about as tough a two game stretch as
- 30:23Speaker 3: you can get. For Belville East or really any Southwest
- 30:25Speaker 3: Conference team where you got Edwardsville and Eastern Lewis both
- 30:29Speaker 3: on the road and back to back weeks, that's always
- 30:31Speaker 3: gonna be tough. But then after they had they come
- 30:34Speaker 3: back and they host o fallon, they're at Alton and
- 30:36Speaker 3: then to end their conference slate, they host Belville East.
- 30:40Speaker 1: That's which is always a huge game.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Yes, that is a massive game.
- 30:44Speaker 3: And I think if Bilbo West can go into the
- 30:47Speaker 3: playoffs at six and three riding a four game winning streak,
- 30:50Speaker 3: I think that would be huge just for the momentum
- 30:53Speaker 3: for them.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Yeah, and I can't They'll be all there'll be a
- 30:55Speaker 1: tough out whoever play in the first round, unless like
- 30:57Speaker 1: unless it's not a juggernaut from Chicago, They'll be a
- 31:00Speaker 1: tough out.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, hopefully can keep the rust attack going.
- 31:03Speaker 3: But for edwards Wilder one and three, that desperately needed
- 31:06Speaker 3: this win, desperately needed this win.
- 31:08Speaker 1: If they would have lost this game, that that they
- 31:10Speaker 1: would be over.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Yeah, and they got a tough Double East team coming
- 31:14Speaker 3: up this week and then they host Easting Lewis and
- 31:17Speaker 3: the otto found they host Alton at de Smet. I
- 31:21Speaker 3: could probably tell you that Edwardsville was kind of happy
- 31:25Speaker 3: to see CEBC do what they did to De Smet
- 31:27Speaker 3: because now they know that De Smet is a pretty
- 31:30Speaker 3: beatable team and they're gonna need that if they want
- 31:31Speaker 3: to pick up that fifth win to clinch a playoffs spot.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, so I mean that you realistically look at
- 31:37Speaker 1: beble easton De Smet as they have two pretty tough games.
- 31:40Speaker 1: If they can win both of them much I think
- 31:42Speaker 1: as possible, yeah, then they and then they should probably
- 31:44Speaker 1: take care of business against O'Fallon and Alton, and then I.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Mean look at it that they have to.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I'm gonna give the the Easting Lewis
- 31:52Speaker 3: game to the Flyers Lewis has, you know, I mean
- 31:56Speaker 3: they blew out Alton, of course I was expected. But
- 32:01Speaker 3: those two, the the Bevile East game this week and
- 32:05Speaker 3: the just Met game, those are must win games if
- 32:07Speaker 3: they want to hit five wins made the playoffs.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Those are must win games for Edwardsville.
- 32:11Speaker 3: So hopefull they can get back on track and maybe
- 32:14Speaker 3: maybe make a push for the playoffs.
- 32:16Speaker 2: And you know, going back.
- 32:17Speaker 3: To the I think we had this discussion a few
- 32:19Speaker 3: weeks ago where you know, I'm not gonna just We're
- 32:22Speaker 3: not gonna just outright root for a team against another,
- 32:25Speaker 3: but at least in the Metro East. Are our goal
- 32:29Speaker 3: as GSP is to root for as many playoff teams
- 32:31Speaker 3: as teams as possible. I kind of that's kind.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Of our well, I know.
- 32:38Speaker 3: And that's the thing is, like I just I just
- 32:39Speaker 3: hope as many I want as many Illino win teams
- 32:42Speaker 3: to the Mentro East to make the playoffs as possible,
- 32:44Speaker 3: and I want them to win as many playoff games
- 32:45Speaker 3: as possible.
- 32:46Speaker 2: So whatever way, whatever way, that happens. So what you're saying, No,
- 32:50Speaker 2: So what you're saying is.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Edwardsville needs to beat beverle Least because then Double Least
- 32:55Speaker 1: they're four and oh and then they got and then
- 32:57Speaker 1: they got al and then Granite City, so they'll be
- 33:00Speaker 1: six and three. So what you're saying is we need
- 33:04Speaker 1: we need Beverleas to lose this game.
- 33:06Speaker 2: I'm not gonna root against the I'm not gonna rswers.
- 33:08Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 33:09Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm just saying I want to see our
- 33:12Speaker 2: team succeed in the postseason.
- 33:13Speaker 1: I do too.
- 33:14Speaker 3: I do too, and I'm not trying to villainize Double
- 33:17Speaker 3: East now, we're having a great year so far, a
- 33:18Speaker 3: really good year so far.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Before Yeah, yeah, that's kind of all I got.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Any other big games' want to dive deep deep into me,
- 33:27Speaker 3: and we're gonna we're gonna go over some briefly some
- 33:29Speaker 3: scores that happened this.
- 33:30Speaker 1: You know, Columbia Rock Sanna was a top ten game,
- 33:33Speaker 1: and that was another really good game. The Eagles come
- 33:36Speaker 1: out with a thirty four to twenty nine victory over
- 33:38Speaker 1: the Shells. This game really lived up to the high
- 33:42Speaker 1: I really, I you know, it was we knew it
- 33:44Speaker 1: was two nice too, undefeated small schools. Wasn't really sure
- 33:48Speaker 1: how this was going to go, and it ended up
- 33:51Speaker 1: being a really good one. It was a back and
- 33:53Speaker 1: forth game pretty much the whole way. I don't think
- 33:57Speaker 1: anybody had a yeah, nobody, I don't think led by
- 34:00Speaker 1: double edgits. It was always a one score game. The
- 34:04Speaker 1: game winning score was a fifty two yard touchdown pass
- 34:07Speaker 1: from Xavier Vogel to Jackson Lowell with just a minute
- 34:12Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter made it a thirty four to
- 34:15Speaker 1: twenty nine game, and that was ultimately the difference. Columbia
- 34:18Speaker 1: is not entirely explosive offensively, but Vocal had a nice game,
- 34:22Speaker 1: throwing six six nine to sixteen, passing one hundred ninety
- 34:26Speaker 1: four yards, three touchdowns with just one interception there, and
- 34:30Speaker 1: then Jace Nelson had twenty nine twenty nine yards with
- 34:33Speaker 1: twenty three carries and he had a touchdown run as
- 34:37Speaker 1: well there too, And Rock Sanda does not out of
- 34:40Speaker 1: their SATs. So sorry, guys, we cannot shout your players out.
- 34:43Speaker 1: But it was a pretty good game. And then I
- 34:47Speaker 1: guess we're now into the other notable games here now.
- 34:50Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because that's all that's all we got in
- 34:52Speaker 4: that game.
- 34:52Speaker 3: But yeah, Carnivtter dominates Saint Pias and case three six
- 34:55Speaker 3: to eight, well thirty four to eight including Corner High
- 34:59Speaker 3: So High School in Misha. It says cardin luber one
- 35:02Speaker 3: thirty six to eight, so a little bit of a
- 35:04Speaker 3: score discrepancy there, but.
- 35:06Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it was thirty six
- 35:08Speaker 1: to eight.
- 35:09Speaker 3: Comfortable, comfortable win either way for the Lions. They keep
- 35:12Speaker 3: rolling there too.
- 35:13Speaker 1: And two now they're looking pretty I mean, they lost
- 35:15Speaker 1: their first two games, but I think.
- 35:16Speaker 3: They figured it out offensively because they they looked, I
- 35:21Speaker 3: don't want to say totally lost, because they put up
- 35:23Speaker 3: a dese amount of points against Jackson, but.
- 35:26Speaker 1: It was only twenty. But yeah, they were doing They
- 35:27Speaker 1: still found a way to kind of.
- 35:30Speaker 2: They had enough big plays to stay in that game.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But against hal and Saint pieus X,
- 35:35Speaker 1: they've really figured some things out clearly.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Yeah, they're two in The Lions are two and two
- 35:39Speaker 3: now and they have a bye week this week. Shamanada
- 35:42Speaker 3: takes down Yonn in the rivalry game. They're forty nine
- 35:44Speaker 3: to thirty four, really run up to score. There's Marion
- 35:47Speaker 3: Barnes and Winston Wiler are trying to do their best
- 35:50Speaker 3: Carson boy and Antoine McKay impressions where they go a
- 35:53Speaker 3: two QB set and they both do really good for Shamanad.
- 35:56Speaker 1: What kind of works for them is Wyler's more of
- 35:58Speaker 1: a pocket passer and then Barnes is more of a runner.
- 36:02Speaker 1: But I'm trying to look at the stats right here.
- 36:05Speaker 1: I mean Barnes, he's a transfer from Saint Mary's, but
- 36:07Speaker 1: he was able to put up some pretty good passing yards.
- 36:09Speaker 1: He was nine to eleven for one hundred fifty seven
- 36:10Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns, and Wiler also two touchdowns one
- 36:13Speaker 1: hundred with one hundred and thirty five yards passing there too,
- 36:16Speaker 1: so and then they're they got a like three really
- 36:22Speaker 1: two in this game, but they got like two or
- 36:24Speaker 1: three running backs and Sahn Robinson rushed for one hundred
- 36:28Speaker 1: and seven yards on fifteen carries, so he had a
- 36:30Speaker 1: good game there, and they put up over five hundred yards.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Yeah, Congress the Red Devils.
- 36:34Speaker 3: That is the let's see seventh straight win against Yanni
- 36:39Speaker 3: for Shamna. They're not three and one and they're at
- 36:41Speaker 3: the SMET League five, which could.
- 36:43Speaker 5: Be a closer game than previous years in that matter, Yeah,
- 36:46Speaker 5: I think people are going to put a lot more,
- 36:48Speaker 5: uh have a lot more interest in that game just
- 36:49Speaker 5: because of quite frankly, you know shaman Huts one and
- 36:52Speaker 5: three or sorry de Smet's one and three and Shamana
- 36:54Speaker 5: they're looking better than last year up so far at
- 36:56Speaker 5: least you know, they're winning the games they probably should
- 36:59Speaker 5: be winning.
- 36:59Speaker 4: And you know in CDC, I mean, you're never gonna
- 37:02Speaker 4: beat them.
- 37:03Speaker 2: So this is a game that I don't want to
- 37:05Speaker 2: say never gonna beat them.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Whenever they do beat them, whether it's you know I'm
- 37:10Speaker 3: this clip, no, no what I said, say John Hoffson,
- 37:13Speaker 3: We're never gonna beat them seven years ago and here.
- 37:15Speaker 2: We are all right.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Listen, guys. They were never going to beat them, is
- 37:20Speaker 1: what I said. Not they are never going to beat them.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Huge difference there, and it's fake journalism in your part,
- 37:28Speaker 1: fake news. Yeah, well they're and theyre so they got
- 37:31Speaker 1: They have two big games going up coming up.
- 37:33Speaker 3: Uh.
- 37:33Speaker 1: They actually have a three game roads roadstrench coming up
- 37:36Speaker 1: with at the smet Slew Hillsboro. All tough games.
- 37:39Speaker 3: That is gonna be a tough, tough stretch for him.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Back with the Measure East Real quick. Bree Central starts
- 37:45Speaker 3: off conference play hot. They smoked Freeberg forty nine to
- 37:50Speaker 3: zero in this one.
- 37:50Speaker 1: They started out a little sorry to cut you off,
- 37:52Speaker 1: but they started out actually it was seven nothing at
- 37:54Speaker 1: halftime and then coach Short must have given an incredible
- 38:00Speaker 1: halftime speech because then they put up forty two points
- 38:04Speaker 1: over Freeburg. And this is a Freeburg team. I think
- 38:06Speaker 1: they're gonna be They were good Freeburgers three no going
- 38:08Speaker 1: into this game, and they're gonna be pretty good, I
- 38:10Speaker 1: think in the next few years because they've got a
- 38:11Speaker 1: pretty good twenty twenty eight class and some of their
- 38:13Speaker 1: some of their better players are sophomores for.
- 38:16Speaker 3: Pre Central, so bri Central actually does not have their
- 38:18Speaker 3: stats in, but Freeburg does, so hats off to the midgets.
- 38:21Speaker 3: For those who don't know, that's Freeburg's mascot, I'm not
- 38:24Speaker 3: just calling them that.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Learn ball, but Pre Central health.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Bit stays that way for the rest of the time.
- 38:31Speaker 2: By the way, yes, that's a fun mascot.
- 38:33Speaker 3: Freeburg was held to one hundred and fifteen yards of
- 38:36Speaker 3: total offense the whole game, so the Pre Central defense
- 38:38Speaker 3: was able to totally shut them down, only allowed twenty
- 38:41Speaker 3: eight rushing yards and one yard per carry on the game.
- 38:45Speaker 3: So the Pre Central defense, after kind of tough game
- 38:48Speaker 3: against Mountain zion eble to get back on track.
- 38:51Speaker 2: And you know, they've got a.
- 38:53Speaker 3: Couple easier conference games coming up, the Cougars do, and
- 38:56Speaker 3: then they're at Roxy and at Columbia and their conference slate,
- 39:00Speaker 3: so you know you can get some exciting honestly, I
- 39:04Speaker 3: mean going back to Columbia briefly, they're four and over
- 39:08Speaker 3: right now and the rest of their conference schedule. I mean,
- 39:11Speaker 3: if they can beat rock Stande like they're way they did,
- 39:14Speaker 3: and if Freeberg's offense is going to be that slow again,
- 39:18Speaker 3: we could very well see a seven and oh Columbia
- 39:20Speaker 3: against a seven oh Presentral for the.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Coach Mississippi Conference title. Sorry took me a second, remember that.
- 39:28Speaker 1: There you go?
- 39:28Speaker 2: Yeah conference name, but yeah, so it should be interesting there.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Tryad barely beat Civic Memorial twenty eight to twenty seven.
- 39:39Speaker 4: Fun game, I guess.
- 39:40Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, I mean, I'm sure Try but in
- 39:42Speaker 3: the win with that one by a little bit more.
- 39:43Speaker 2: But they're up to two and two, so congrats to
- 39:47Speaker 2: the Knights.
- 39:47Speaker 1: And then we just had a lot of kind of
- 39:49Speaker 1: lopsided suburban lots Saint Louis suburban scores that I don't know.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Eureka rolled past Fox that was one of them.
- 39:59Speaker 3: At Lafayette, kirk Wood cruised win wins I believe they did.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Kirkwood won sixty six to seven. Yeah yeah, and then.
- 40:07Speaker 2: Uh Part won fifty five zeros Parker Central jeez.
- 40:11Speaker 1: And then Parkway North was kind of an interesting game
- 40:13Speaker 1: against Marquette, but they ended up I think, having a
- 40:15Speaker 1: really good second half of winning thirty to seven.
- 40:18Speaker 3: And then the GAC, all the O even Liberty and
- 40:21Speaker 3: North Point, all the other contenders in the GAC had
- 40:26Speaker 3: easier conference games. Francis Hawl, Troy is Well West, Well North,
- 40:29Speaker 3: and Orchard Farm all cruised over the weekend to conference victories.
- 40:33Speaker 3: So all of them start the conference slate, want to know,
- 40:36Speaker 3: and they'll play each other, well, not Orchard Farm because
- 40:39Speaker 3: they're in the GAC North, but they'll howl shuw wins
- 40:43Speaker 3: Well West will play each other over the coming weeks
- 40:45Speaker 3: and those should be exciting games.
- 40:46Speaker 1: So, uh, Troy the Canyon with a decent victory over Timberland,
- 40:50Speaker 1: I say, I think. I say it's decent because you know,
- 40:52Speaker 1: Carter Shaffer had a decent game one hundred and thirty
- 40:54Speaker 1: seven passing yards and then Chris Wainger and carterdal each
- 40:59Speaker 1: had over.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Hundred and forty five rushing yards in the game.
- 41:01Speaker 1: So that was a nice bounce back victory for the
- 41:05Speaker 1: Trojans after losing the Hannibal, who are now three and one.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Yep, Well, I think that's it for us for high school.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Do you want to talk a little bit of college,
- 41:15Speaker 1: Well we can, and we still also got a.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Week five preview will be released in a couple days,
- 41:24Speaker 3: right so on our usual podcast system right there.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, real quick, before we can talk about the
- 41:31Speaker 1: district standings right now in Missouri, so real.
- 41:34Speaker 3: Quick, we're going to go to Mischi real fast. We're
- 41:38Speaker 3: going to go for the district tournament. District standings. We're
- 41:41Speaker 3: going to start in Class six District one.
- 41:44Speaker 4: And we're going over to Saint Louis area.
- 41:46Speaker 3: By the way, Yes, Jackson currently leads the district of
- 41:49Speaker 3: four to oh and then segments and the second the
- 41:50Speaker 3: Northwest at three and.
- 41:52Speaker 2: One and Oakville three lines also three.
- 41:54Speaker 3: And one, those second Northwest and are all pretty close
- 41:58Speaker 3: to the standings there. So we'll see who ends up
- 42:00Speaker 3: getting this two seeds.
- 42:01Speaker 1: You know what, it's probably going to end up Limberg
- 42:05Speaker 1: since they're one and three.
- 42:06Speaker 4: I mean, they still got some time.
- 42:08Speaker 1: They got started off owing three, but they probably are
- 42:10Speaker 1: gonna end up being the five seed. And you would
- 42:14Speaker 1: have probably have thought at the beginning of the year
- 42:15Speaker 1: that it would have been Northwest, but they've actually been
- 42:17Speaker 1: pretty solid.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:19Speaker 3: And then Class six District two, number one seed CB.
- 42:25Speaker 3: See obviously they're four and oh loft yet two seed there,
- 42:29Speaker 3: four and oh, this is the salute to three seed
- 42:31Speaker 3: there four and oh and just about the fourth either
- 42:33Speaker 3: one and three Marquette five they're owing four.
- 42:35Speaker 1: This is the toughest district, maybe the toughest district in
- 42:38Speaker 1: state history.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Why are CBC loft Hetning slew All in the same district.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Come on, they should have found a way.
- 42:46Speaker 1: They should have found a way to put slew in
- 42:48Speaker 1: District three and like swap them with like Francis Halldorf.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's not good. It's too bad. It's too bad.
- 42:56Speaker 3: And then Class six District three, excuse me, we've got
- 42:59Speaker 3: Pattonville Writtener at one and two. They're actually tied in
- 43:03Speaker 3: points somehow. But if patten Is gonna have that tie
- 43:05Speaker 3: record because they.
- 43:06Speaker 1: Won the head head they those two teams are going
- 43:09Speaker 1: to play most likely again they're going to Yeah, Pattonville
- 43:12Speaker 1: again because.
- 43:13Speaker 2: It's Haswood Central, Hazwood West and France Hawnd North. Round
- 43:15Speaker 2: that out. And then the Class six District four, we
- 43:19Speaker 2: got St.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Dominic there four and other the one seed Liverty is
- 43:22Speaker 3: the two sets of three and one. Troy's the three
- 43:24Speaker 3: seed of three and one. That's a pretty wide open
- 43:26Speaker 3: West is two and two into frances House two and two.
- 43:28Speaker 3: This is going to be a crazy district to watch
- 43:31Speaker 3: the playoffs.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited for that one because I really think,
- 43:36Speaker 1: you know, I think there's a way that I just
- 43:39Speaker 1: don't see how Central wild this district. But you cannot
- 43:42Speaker 1: sleep on them though, But any of the team really
- 43:47Speaker 1: on a good if, how on a good day they
- 43:50Speaker 1: can be I think anybody in this district. Yeah.
- 43:53Speaker 3: Also Dad, the YouTube livestoped I don't know why, but yeah,
- 43:58Speaker 3: oh okay, sorry.
- 43:59Speaker 2: To those are watching later is terrible. Still recording. It's
- 44:02Speaker 2: still going and I'll download the whole episode later. Okay, okay,
- 44:05Speaker 2: sounds cool, but we're still recording.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Thank you too.
- 44:09Speaker 2: Producer Brian over there bringing us out.
- 44:14Speaker 1: And then old friend, I don't think he's a is
- 44:16Speaker 1: he tampering with the wiring system or anything with the.
- 44:19Speaker 3: Friend might be screwing around like a like a gremlin
- 44:21Speaker 3: over there, And yes, with the ground wires, I don't know.
- 44:24Speaker 3: But Class six District five is a lot out of
- 44:27Speaker 3: area teams, so we'll go ahead and move down to
- 44:28Speaker 3: Class five.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Real quick.
- 44:30Speaker 3: Class five District one, we got Cape Central at four
- 44:33Speaker 3: and oh Farming Team at three and one at two.
- 44:35Speaker 3: Webster Groves is the three seed there there at two
- 44:37Speaker 3: and two. Fox at one and three is the four seed.
- 44:40Speaker 3: Melville is the five seed of one and three, and
- 44:42Speaker 3: then more Career and Popula Bluff are six and seven.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not a good it's not a great district.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I would I would think Fox is probably better than
- 44:50Speaker 1: Webster Groves at this point. So you know what if
- 44:53Speaker 1: you know Cape Central and by the way, Central and
- 44:56Speaker 1: Farmington will play each other. So that's that's sho come
- 45:00Speaker 1: down to the who gets the one seed there.
- 45:03Speaker 4: If Fox is that four seed, that's gonna be a
- 45:05Speaker 4: tough game.
- 45:05Speaker 1: I'm assuming Fox is gonna beat Melville, by the way,
- 45:08Speaker 1: in the four or five game. Farmington looked really good
- 45:12Speaker 1: until they just ran into a buzzsaw in Jackson.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Last week the Bowl, the Echlee Bowl, and it did
- 45:18Speaker 1: not turn out great for the Eccley side which is
- 45:21Speaker 1: now Farmington. Yeah, Jackson just completely whipped on Farmington in
- 45:24Speaker 1: that one. So that's an entertaining district right there. Gets
- 45:30Speaker 1: pretty tough in District two and.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Classicize this is the best is the best distion in
- 45:33Speaker 2: class wise.
- 45:34Speaker 4: I really like this district.
- 45:35Speaker 1: You got three really good teams and then and then
- 45:37Speaker 1: the rest is just you know, it is what it is.
- 45:40Speaker 1: Eureka's number one with fifty four points and Summit's right
- 45:45Speaker 1: behind them with fifty two point eighty three points. They're
- 45:47Speaker 1: also four and zero, Kirkwood losing the Lafayette Pigs them
- 45:51Speaker 1: down to three with forty seven point thirty three points.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Kirkwood and Eureka though, have a huge game this coming week,
- 45:57Speaker 1: so huge implications going into that game. And then you
- 46:00Speaker 1: got Raw at four, Parkway South at five, and then
- 46:03Speaker 1: Washington at six.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Class five District three, we've got.
- 46:08Speaker 4: It's looking better now.
- 46:09Speaker 3: I think overall the fans have a sigh of relief
- 46:12Speaker 3: after starting the year terrified of their district.
- 46:15Speaker 2: They're actually it.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Well, we weren't even we weren't even by way I'm saying, well,
- 46:18Speaker 1: I'm in alum. We weren't even really thinking about it,
- 46:20Speaker 1: to be honest, because it's like, well we're so bad
- 46:23Speaker 1: do well, well I never thought we were bad, but
- 46:25Speaker 1: it's like, don't even care at this point. But now
- 46:27Speaker 1: since they're three and one, you're starting to care more
- 46:30Speaker 1: and thinking like, ah, there's Cardon Ritter right there.
- 46:35Speaker 3: Yeah, so Cardiner is the one seat of two and two.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Ladu is very close behind three and one, the only
- 46:39Speaker 3: point zero.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Literally literally, if Rittner would have won, if they would
- 46:45Speaker 1: have beaten Patvilldu would be the one seed right now.
- 46:47Speaker 2: Huh, Vitor would have been higher.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Yes, and also if maybe if had beaten Hazeled East
- 46:52Speaker 1: by a few more points too. Yeah, there's also that.
- 46:54Speaker 3: Speaking Hazel, they're the three seed and classified Distra three
- 46:56Speaker 3: and Shamanad are the four seed of three and one
- 46:59Speaker 3: and might see yes, I've see there are two and
- 47:00Speaker 3: two right now.
- 47:01Speaker 2: And the McClaren review gardens round it out six and seven.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Class five District four we got North point four and
- 47:06Speaker 3: oh or the one seed. Parkway West they're the two
- 47:09Speaker 3: seats at four and oh it's north of the three
- 47:11Speaker 3: seed at three and one's well South the three four
- 47:14Speaker 3: seed A three and one, and then as in Well East,
- 47:17Speaker 3: Timberland and Parkway Central rounded out five through seven.
- 47:20Speaker 1: That's again that that's I think you got three pretty
- 47:23Speaker 1: solid teams right there, and I think either of them,
- 47:25Speaker 1: either of those three teams can win it. And uh,
- 47:27Speaker 1: that would be It would be insane if like we'd
- 47:30Speaker 1: do in Parkway West, were to play in a quarter
- 47:32Speaker 1: final game in Class five. Gosh, and then you know that's.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. You never know,
- 47:38Speaker 2: you never know. There's not gonna be rid.
- 47:39Speaker 3: I'm sorry if that happens, that's it's not gonna holding
- 47:42Speaker 3: it too some on camera.
- 47:45Speaker 2: All right, fine, all right, fine, you said it.
- 47:48Speaker 4: This is awesome.
- 47:49Speaker 1: We're on camera now we can like really be held
- 47:51Speaker 1: accountable for what we say. Yeah, isn't this.
- 47:54Speaker 2: Great accountability here at gs? We accountability only? All right?
- 47:58Speaker 3: Class four District one, we got Festus at four and
- 48:02Speaker 3: oh their one seed Hillsboro three and one, two seed
- 48:04Speaker 3: and they played for this week.
- 48:05Speaker 2: So that's really Gonnam hopefully.
- 48:07Speaker 4: And that's determining the one seed.
- 48:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.
- 48:09Speaker 3: Yeah, Windsor is three and one of the three seed,
- 48:12Speaker 3: and then a bunch of then Perryville, Syxton, Des Soto
- 48:15Speaker 3: and North County are four three seven there. Class four
- 48:19Speaker 3: District two we got the Eye. The one seed are
- 48:21Speaker 3: two and two, sel Them the two seed they are
- 48:23Speaker 3: two and two Union, the three seed they're two and
- 48:25Speaker 3: two Westminster, the four seeds they're two and two, and
- 48:28Speaker 3: then Bayless at in the Pacific ground that one out.
- 48:30Speaker 1: This isn't a great district Roman not quite well viny
- 48:34Speaker 1: they they're two and two and they're still a one
- 48:36Speaker 1: seed and they and they well they.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Have they have a more difficult scheduling of the team,
- 48:40Speaker 3: so that's gonna give them the advantage there.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Yeah, and then also it helps that they're playing They're
- 48:43Speaker 1: gonna get like thirty points because they dispensing class six
- 48:47Speaker 1: and if you play a team who's above you, you
- 48:49Speaker 1: get ten extra points. So well, they're gonna get twenty
- 48:52Speaker 1: points twenty additional points I think, but ultimately thirty. So yeah,
- 48:57Speaker 1: they're gonna benefit greatly from that. Even well, I'm assuming
- 49:00Speaker 1: they lose that game, so I still I still really
- 49:03Speaker 1: like Vianni in this district anyway, So it's about time
- 49:06Speaker 1: they deserve a break.
- 49:09Speaker 3: Yeah, because they because of the Tuesday titles they won,
- 49:11Speaker 3: they were kind of stuck in class six for a couple.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Of years, a few years, a lot of years actually,
- 49:15Speaker 2: and they were.
- 49:16Speaker 3: There was really no way of them to get out
- 49:18Speaker 3: until the success factory years carried over.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Yes, and then and this is this is that they're
- 49:24Speaker 1: better than they were from like two thousand nine, two
- 49:27Speaker 1: thousand nineteen through like twenty twenty three.
- 49:30Speaker 3: I'd say, yeah, uh, next up in class four at
- 49:35Speaker 3: District three, the four to oh Jennings Warriors are the
- 49:40Speaker 3: one seed, Reno the two seed, Saint Mary's the three
- 49:44Speaker 3: seed there at two and two, Luther North's the four
- 49:46Speaker 3: seed there two and one, and the Clore North, Roosevelt
- 49:48Speaker 3: and the Confluence round it out. We were high on
- 49:51Speaker 3: Jennings to start the year and their four and other
- 49:54Speaker 3: start off. They play Aften in Dushen next. Those are
- 49:57Speaker 3: two very winnable games. So Jennings could.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Start six and oho, they should start six and now.
- 50:01Speaker 3: And they played Brentwood Clayton who's owned four and the
- 50:04Speaker 3: Riverview who's owned four, and week six.
- 50:05Speaker 1: And seven, so they should be eight. No, they should
- 50:07Speaker 1: be eight no, go no.
- 50:08Speaker 2: Going into their senior night against University City, they're.
- 50:11Speaker 5: Gonna be the one seed, and U City they're three
- 50:13Speaker 5: and one, so they're they're starting off okay.
- 50:15Speaker 3: They beats them all the East and they beat a
- 50:17Speaker 3: Review by a lot, so U City is looking.
- 50:19Speaker 2: Better than last year.
- 50:20Speaker 3: So and you look at U City schedule, they also
- 50:23Speaker 3: have some pretty easy games going up, So we could
- 50:25Speaker 3: see a seven and one U City going out against
- 50:27Speaker 3: eight no Jennings a week nine.
- 50:28Speaker 2: That would be a very fun game to watch.
- 50:30Speaker 1: That's awesome, very very fun game.
- 50:32Speaker 3: Next up, Class four at District four. We've got Parkward
- 50:36Speaker 3: North is the one seed. They're three and one, Orchard
- 50:38Speaker 3: Farm quietly starting off the year four and oh through
- 50:40Speaker 3: the two seed u City those as you just mentioned,
- 50:43Speaker 3: they're three and one, they're the three seed, and then
- 50:45Speaker 3: hold St. Charles with Concert Tarles all at one, three
- 50:48Speaker 3: at four, five and six and Brentwood Clayton their own
- 50:51Speaker 3: four to the seventh seed.
- 50:53Speaker 2: And then Class four District five.
- 50:56Speaker 3: Warrington is in there. Handibal is the one seed at
- 50:58Speaker 3: three and one. Warranton's the two seat of three and one.
- 51:00Speaker 3: Odessa out in k C. What this district is pridiculous.
- 51:04Speaker 2: This district is too.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of districts, A lot of people are
- 51:07Speaker 1: saying that this is probably the best district in Class
- 51:09Speaker 1: four before the season.
- 51:11Speaker 3: It spans as the area of the state of Missouri,
- 51:14Speaker 3: of course it is.
- 51:14Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Odessa is really close to Kansas City.
- 51:17Speaker 4: It's the it's the kind of in the Yeah, it's.
- 51:20Speaker 1: Their own little area out there, but yeah, it's kind
- 51:24Speaker 1: of like it's kind of like a Warrington in a way,
- 51:26Speaker 1: like in our area, like Saint Louis will claim them,
- 51:29Speaker 1: you know, but they're kind of in their own little
- 51:30Speaker 1: area and then it's kind of the same thing with
- 51:32Speaker 1: Odessa compared to Kansas City.
- 51:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, let's just look at their district map
- 51:39Speaker 3: real quick.
- 51:40Speaker 2: I don't know if you all.
- 51:41Speaker 1: Pull it up on. Yeah, that's it's massive.
- 51:43Speaker 2: It's huge.
- 51:45Speaker 3: So if you go on if you go to any
- 51:47Speaker 3: of these teams missip pages and you go to their
- 51:49Speaker 3: district standings and you go so there's district schools and then.
- 51:53Speaker 2: District map, the district map.
- 51:55Speaker 3: It's almost the entire northern half of Missouri is this
- 51:59Speaker 3: district with deaths out there by Casey Marshall, Missouri, which
- 52:03Speaker 3: is kind of halfway between Casey and Columbia Mexico, Missouri,
- 52:07Speaker 3: which is kind of forty five minutes northeast of Columbia Warrington,
- 52:11Speaker 3: which is in Warren County, Hannibal. Everyone knows where Handible
- 52:15Speaker 3: is up there. And then Kirksville, which is one of
- 52:18Speaker 3: the northernmost teams in the state.
- 52:19Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. It's basically it really is.
- 52:21Speaker 3: So this district a lot of gas money going to
- 52:24Speaker 3: be spent in the playoffs here for Class four District
- 52:26Speaker 3: five anyways, over Class three, Class three District one no
- 52:34Speaker 3: singles area teams and their Class three District two.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where it's far less showcasing. St. Louis.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Class three District two looks really interesting.
- 52:44Speaker 3: We got Saint Genevieve at four and oh, the the
- 52:45Speaker 3: one seed, Valley Catholic they're the two seed.
- 52:47Speaker 2: At four and oh, Lift for Life they're three and
- 52:49Speaker 2: one of the three seed.
- 52:50Speaker 1: They have a huge game against Slough coming up.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Massive massive game.
- 52:54Speaker 3: Then Herculeans at the four seed at two and two,
- 52:56Speaker 3: and then Normandy John Burrows Loo from South.
- 52:58Speaker 2: They're around that one out that don't give interesting.
- 53:00Speaker 3: I think Lift for Life against either Valley or San
- 53:02Speaker 3: Genevieve could be a very exciting game.
- 53:05Speaker 2: I mean that would be to them, they might be.
- 53:09Speaker 3: I mean it would be tough for the one seed
- 53:12Speaker 3: is gonna be huge in this one because the two
- 53:14Speaker 3: and three seeds are gonna have two really difficult games.
- 53:16Speaker 3: Whoever it is, whether it be Saint Genevieve, Valley or
- 53:19Speaker 3: Lift for Life, that'll be two tough games in a
- 53:22Speaker 3: road to have.
- 53:22Speaker 2: To win your district. But yeah, one seed, you get
- 53:25Speaker 2: a bye week.
- 53:25Speaker 3: To start and then an easier presumably easier game which
- 53:29Speaker 3: would be between the winner of probably.
- 53:31Speaker 1: Seed probably Herculaneum and who knows.
- 53:36Speaker 3: And so the one seed gets a bye week Curriculaneum
- 53:41Speaker 3: and then the district championship against who the next best
- 53:44Speaker 3: team is. But the two and three seeds are gonna
- 53:46Speaker 3: have have to play some money. They'll they'll win that
- 53:48Speaker 3: first round, but you know, bye week's you're nice, and
- 53:51Speaker 3: they'll have to play each other the next week and
- 53:53Speaker 3: then play the one seed to win the district. That'll
- 53:56Speaker 3: be it'll be tough, so that that one seed is
- 53:58Speaker 3: actually gona be pretty huge gid for one Class three
- 53:59Speaker 3: District two, Class three District three we got Borgia as.
- 54:02Speaker 2: The ones either three and one. Saint Charles West starta
- 54:05Speaker 2: the season kind of slow, is one and.
- 54:07Speaker 4: Three, but in the three seed over right City three and.
- 54:10Speaker 2: One of the three seed Principi is a four seed.
- 54:12Speaker 2: They're two and two.
- 54:13Speaker 3: Coach Mack coming in and running the ultra air raid
- 54:16Speaker 3: there where they just never run it.
- 54:17Speaker 2: They're two and two.
- 54:19Speaker 1: You know, I think that approach is okay for like
- 54:21Speaker 1: what they're trying to do here. I mean they're already
- 54:23Speaker 1: I think they're they're playing better.
- 54:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I'm sure some of the Witfield kids
- 54:28Speaker 2: appreciate being part of that team.
- 54:30Speaker 1: Sure.
- 54:31Speaker 3: Class three District four, there are no more Saint Louis
- 54:34Speaker 3: teams in there, and I think it kind of drives
- 54:36Speaker 3: up a bit around Class two.
- 54:38Speaker 1: I think priories in Class two, yeah, they're not off
- 54:41Speaker 1: to a great yeah priory.
- 54:43Speaker 3: So yeah. Class two District two, Montgomery County is the
- 54:45Speaker 3: one seed, a two and two Bowling Green. After amazing
- 54:48Speaker 3: year last year, Bowling Green is now one and three
- 54:50Speaker 3: as the two seed Priories the three seed there one
- 54:52Speaker 3: and two. Uh, and then Dusche is the other singles
- 54:56Speaker 3: area team at on four to the five seed there.
- 54:59Speaker 1: And class and then Class two District one you have
- 55:03Speaker 1: Jefferson Frofestus they're the two seed, and then then they're
- 55:07Speaker 1: neighbors Saint Pius X also Festus. They're one and three,
- 55:10Speaker 1: but they are the three seeds. So that'd be cool
- 55:12Speaker 1: if they can get a little semi final action against
- 55:15Speaker 1: those guys. If that does end up being what they
- 55:17Speaker 1: are at the end of the season and they.
- 55:20Speaker 3: Can't forget Class one District two, your very own Veritas
- 55:24Speaker 3: Christian Academy e goes off to a nice two and
- 55:26Speaker 3: one start. They're the four seed currently in Class one
- 55:29Speaker 3: district two grand View High School and Hillsborough they're the
- 55:32Speaker 3: one seed in that district, so we actually got a
- 55:34Speaker 3: and then Crystal City of one of three the three seeds.
- 55:36Speaker 3: We actually have three sing those area teams nice in
- 55:38Speaker 3: that district and Class one, so that could be interesting
- 55:40Speaker 3: to follow. Hopefully each team does well and can play
- 55:45Speaker 3: a good, good game for the postseason.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Feel sorry for Louisiana because that's a far drive wherever
- 55:49Speaker 1: they're going.
- 55:50Speaker 2: This district map is also kind of stretched.
- 55:53Speaker 1: Because it's the Missouri River essentially the Mississippi River.
- 55:57Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so you got a van fall on the
- 56:00Speaker 3: Louisiana are way up there about I would say, about
- 56:03Speaker 3: an hour and a half north of Saint Louis County,
- 56:06Speaker 3: probably an hour forty five ish, and then you got
- 56:09Speaker 3: very tast Christian which you look you to north O'fola, Missouri,
- 56:12Speaker 3: and then Crystal City and Grant you are both in
- 56:14Speaker 3: jeff Go so it's kind of very tast Christian in
- 56:18Speaker 3: the middle, and then two teams on their north and
- 56:21Speaker 3: south that are an hour and a half an hour
- 56:24Speaker 3: and half, I guess we're jeff Co. But you know,
- 56:27Speaker 3: not too bad, but it should be fun to see
- 56:29Speaker 3: anything else. For our first show.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Let's some of college football talk. Good great week for Miszoo.
- 56:38Speaker 3: Yeah, big comeback. Bo Prapula is the guy. I'm sure
- 56:42Speaker 3: Penn State fans are regretting letting him go.
- 56:45Speaker 4: But him or Drew Raller, But I mean, he's looking better.
- 56:49Speaker 3: He's looking really good. He's looking really good. And we'll
- 56:52Speaker 3: see how Drew Aller plays against Oregon next week. It's
- 56:54Speaker 3: gonna be a massive, massive game. But Miszoo off to
- 56:57Speaker 3: a good start. I believe the new AP pole. They
- 56:58Speaker 3: are ranked twentieth now, so they're climbing week by week.
- 57:02Speaker 3: They're climbing. FSU crushed Kent State, you know, duh, Kent
- 57:08Speaker 3: State's terrible, But the AP poll is terrible. It's such
- 57:12Speaker 3: an awful, awful poll. FSU breaks their school direct for
- 57:15Speaker 3: rushing yards and then drops.
- 57:18Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't include any of like the real informative
- 57:22Speaker 1: people from like two four to seven rivals.
- 57:25Speaker 3: Really, so the AP pole for college football is really
- 57:28Speaker 3: a bunch of local beat writers across the country, and
- 57:32Speaker 3: a lot of them, and they're they're the polls are
- 57:35Speaker 3: public and a lot of them get exposed every week
- 57:37Speaker 3: because they have terrible polls.
- 57:39Speaker 4: I like how the polls are public.
- 57:40Speaker 3: Because there were times, like a couple weeks ago when
- 57:44Speaker 3: Florida lost to US F one voter moved Florida up
- 57:50Speaker 3: and didn't even race US after that, which was terrible.
- 57:53Speaker 3: That's malpractice. That's just terrible.
- 57:55Speaker 2: You need you need to lose your vote after something
- 57:57Speaker 2: like that happens.
- 57:58Speaker 3: And like last week, there were cases of people ranking
- 58:01Speaker 3: Notre Dame even though they were owing two. It's like,
- 58:04Speaker 3: okays an ok team, but they haven't presented anything yet,
- 58:06Speaker 3: they've lost two games.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Welcome to my world. Having the rank of zero to
- 58:09Speaker 1: two team is one of the best teams in the area.
- 58:12Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm not kind of as it is. But
- 58:14Speaker 2: it's different though, but yeah, yeah it is. And you know,
- 58:17Speaker 2: do you want to talk about Illinois?
- 58:19Speaker 1: You don't have to if you don't want to, that's fine.
- 58:23Speaker 3: Illah very bigrudging Illinois.
- 58:28Speaker 1: So that was a game where well we figured out
- 58:31Speaker 1: Illinois is not a college football playoff team. I will
- 58:35Speaker 1: happily sign for a nine and three season. Again, yeah,
- 58:38Speaker 1: that would be great. Eight four is not so bad either.
- 58:41Speaker 1: I think Illinois, Okay, ultimately, I don't think they suck
- 58:45Speaker 1: but their problem is they they have a defense who
- 58:48Speaker 1: is not designed to defend a team who has an
- 58:52Speaker 1: NFL caliber quarterback with NFL caliber receivers.
- 58:55Speaker 3: Frianda Mendoza calling him a NFL Calber QB is crazy
- 58:59Speaker 3: that like it's it's it's true.
- 59:03Speaker 4: Well, here's here's the thing. He's always been good. He
- 59:06Speaker 4: was just on a crappy California team who had no
- 59:08Speaker 4: offensive Well is.
- 59:09Speaker 3: It with the California Golden there is making good qbs,
- 59:12Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff and now for him Mendoza.
- 59:15Speaker 1: Well, well, unfortunately they can't really claim for Nanna Mendoza
- 59:18Speaker 1: now because he's just like how Ohio State fans still
- 59:23Speaker 1: claim Joe Burrow. But uh, well, so like when you
- 59:26Speaker 1: go to when you know he's at Indiana now, like
- 59:28Speaker 1: they have a solid offensive line who can block for him,
- 59:31Speaker 1: and it was just hey, as long as he doesn't
- 59:33Speaker 1: get happy feet like he's he can get that out
- 59:35Speaker 1: of his.
- 59:35Speaker 4: Game and he's pretty good.
- 59:37Speaker 1: And uh, you saw that against Illinois where they just
- 59:40Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses. Illinois they had a like I
- 59:43Speaker 1: think three starting safeties out but it did not I
- 59:45Speaker 1: want to say, it did not matter and then there's
- 59:49Speaker 1: one bad targeting penalty there, but it didn't matter.
- 59:52Speaker 4: I mean, they Florida there, I'm for Indiana.
- 59:54Speaker 1: They were already gonna run away from Illinois there. And
- 59:57Speaker 1: what's been probably the most disappointing thing for Minilla what
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: perspective is this the offensive line. You return five starters
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: and they've really struggled, honestly, especially in the first half
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: of games, to just not produce a good a good
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: ground game and open holes for the running backs that
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: they have, and they're pretty good running backs, but just
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: not getting enough holes. And but in the end is
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: the real deal. You know, a lot was made that
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: they didn't played anybody, but and they lost a lot
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: of guys from last year and they are they're they'ren't
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: even better team than last year, and they're I would
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a collg football payoff tam again
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: because they really do look like the part I mean
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: sixty three ten is that's got to be one of
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: the most lopsided Big ten scores of all time.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: Kurt Signetti talks a big game, but he backs it up.
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: Google him, I mean they seriously google him. He is
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: a heck of a coach. Yeah, and you know, people
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: made fun of him last year where it's like, oh,
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: you didn't play anybody, and when you did, you lost
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: perspect it was the two teams that game. Yeah, and
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: the playoff game and Notre Dame was not.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: As close as what the final score in the cable.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: Wasn't, but it was still competitive. It was a competitive game.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: And for India, for Indiana to even be there is
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: insane because Indiana has been a complete joke of football
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: team forever.
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: Yeah, louly forever. They more about basketball. They had not
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: won ten games in a year ever until last season.
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: And now it's like within two years.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: It's only taken them two years to be a legitimate
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: college football playoff team and just one of the better
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: teams in the country.
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: Yeah, and just for all these other.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: Teams, speaking as a line I fan myself of like
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: all these years of trying to get it right, it
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: took Indiana two years really one year?
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: Yeah, just with the right coach.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: But listen if any because I'm assuming we have some
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: men of my fans who are hopefully listening today, because
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: you know, just right across the river is the state
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: of Illinois. Don't panic and listen, you could you could
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: be Oklahoma State and be really worried.
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: You could be.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Wisconsin, who were what seem the death of a thirty
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: year run of greatness ending right before their eyes. It's
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: still not that bad, I think is gonna be okay. Ultimately,
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: got a big game against USC, got some house money
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: going into them now because now there's some you know,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: expectations are a little down, but you're at home, and honestly,
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: if you can beat USC, you're you're you're backed in
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: being really good shape again. So I don't think it's
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: ultimately that bad. But hopefully the defense and we'll just
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: the whole team can figure it out after that catastrophe
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: against Indiana.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: Yeah, real, Briefly, baseball, there's gonna be brief. Jowen Aeronado
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: played his final game for the Cardinals today at home, which.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Is don't get me started on the Cardinals because there
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: is no hope. There is no hope.
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: I mean, I think that the last resort is to
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: call for a sell of the team. Honestly, I mean,
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: it's just it's not good. Vibes sera in Saint Louis
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: right now.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: Yeah, Cardinals, it's pretty good. It's pretty bad right now,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: but hopefully they can figure it out.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we'll see.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: I don't in Bloom. We trust. We have no other
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: option right now.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: That is the only option for the Cardinals is hopefully
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: high and Bloom figures it out. But that'll do for
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: me for this episode. Yeah, any final thoughts record show.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really excited about this and where it
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: can go. Obviously, we're gonna get better as we keep going,
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: and we are feel pretty comfortable doing this and we're
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: just only gonna get more at home with all this stuff.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: So if you're watching this at this point, you're a
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: real one.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: Because our stream did cut out earlier because our Wi
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: Fi right here is terrible. Yeah, we're gonna change locations
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: of the studio because yeah, we're gonna get it deep
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: in the cable hopefully because we've.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: Got to have more reliable connection.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: We'll figure it out.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: This is our first run. It's okay. It wasn't gonna
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: be perfect. We kind of dow that this is more
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: of a test.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: But honestly, so, if you're watching this right now on
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: the recorded version, you're a real one.
