  [SPEAKER_00]: And Michelle, our game of the week, the Twin Lakes Indians against the Tipped and Blue Devils, a couple of unbeaten teams, a couple of really good teams.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I am looking forward to taking this win-in on Friday night.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it should be a very entertaining game to well bear well-coached football teams.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_04]: No one, I mean Kevin or Shay is really good at what he does.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, Aaron told us very good what he does.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: Not bad.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_04]: Not bad.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, the thing is they're both kind of both the OSHAs and tolls are coaching family.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: So that always makes it fun and, you know, interesting.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Michelle, the thing is the tipten blue devils have not really been tested yet and they're gonna get their first test on Friday.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_04]: They are, you know, it's homecoming.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I've seen homecoming games go, go, go.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_04]: both ways before.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our Michelle, we talked to Coach Tol before the game, and he has a lot of respect for twin lakes and their head coach Kevin O'Shea, and actually, as I mentioned on our preview show and with our predictions on Thursday, he actually convinced me to take twin lakes.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: He convinced me that they're that good, and I said, I'm going to go for, I'm going to take twin lakes.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's hear from Coach Tol, and before we do
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: your thoughts on what he had to say about that program?
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know, he knows it's going to be a very tough challenge and he alluded to that right away last week after the Elwood game, you know, he said he was happy because he thought his team had improved in the areas that he really wanted to see improvement from week one a week too but that he told his team after that game that hey, like it's really real now, you know,
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_04]: The next the next five, six weeks are going to be really tough and part a lot of that is because we didn't mention yet this typically has three home games on our schedule last week was one or this week is to and that's why it's homecoming because this is the earliest tip is ever had homecoming and so in the third week we'll be seeing your night and that's about three or four weeks down the road and air talks about
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Michelle is here from Coastal.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tiped in ahead, Coach Aaron Tol, Michelle, you have a question.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_04]: Well, Aaron, big week for you guys.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, what's it like practice like this week?
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_04]: Because, I mean, homecoming and pork festival week are always kind of scuring, and they're the same week this year.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: So, how has that affected practices?
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hope that it hasn't a whole lot, my perspective has always been, you know, there's only one reason that we have him coming and that's because the game won't thrive, so I try to instill in our guys' game on Friday is by far the most important thing.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: All these other things are very inconsequential compared to the ball game, so I think in past we've got a pretty good job of that and hopefully we've carried a week carry that on as far as the pork festival is concerned, you know my message to them is
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we usually donate time on Saturday and from experience, I can tell you that it is much more enjoyable working in the food tent after we win the after loss.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've done both.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_04]: And, probably get a lot less, I was going to say, you probably get a lot less Saturday, quarterback coaching from the people going through after a win, right?
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: You get passed on the back as opposed to people you don't know telling you what you did wrong.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it is much, much more enjoyable.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think our kids are mature enough.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've been, they've been this before.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think they know what the task at hand is.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think we're, I think we'll be in good shape come Friday.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: What concerns you most about Twin Lakes?
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a, I think he's very good.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a returning starter and has a strong arm.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Isn't necessarily, doesn't have necessarily designed runs, but is really, really good at extending plays.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then when he breaks the pocket, I think their receiving core is like as good as I've ever seen at Scramble Drill to where
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, he gets out of the pocket and they just break off their routes and it just becomes backyard football and that's really, it's really tough to defend.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to have to do a lot of things, we're going to have to do a lot of things right on the defensive side of the ball to contain their offense.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_04]: And there's a hard, hard as it to prepare for them this week because especially coming off.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: preparing a game like Elwood where I mean they don't have a passing game and I mean they just it's kind of like a power running game I mean they're for it's very generic as far as the old school we might have sprinkled in some pass-off and last week maybe in preparation for this week you know I mean it's what we do all summer I mean for the most part we defend
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: And Twin Lakes has their offense, has a lot of similarities to ours.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's just that, you know, it's just changing the gears from week to week.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's not like it's all brand new.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we need a refresher course or a week.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: But again, we had a great preparation all summer for games like Friday.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Told you, we talked a little bit about playing.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't again.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I grew up in Elwood and I graduated from Franklin, so I'm not insulting those football programs.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I promise, but I'm guessing after playing those two teams the first two weeks you still have a few questions about your team going into this week.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think you always do or win the season, but we corrected, I thought, Friday, we corrected all
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you watch the film close enough, there's always things you can nit-tick on it.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Find that you did wrong and try to improve on.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there's any doubt, and this certainly is a knock on either one of those teams either because I think about the nine teams that we play, I think Twin Lakes will be the top third.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: would be my guess.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: So no doubt the level of play is going to go up and that's a compliment to Twin Lakes, not to put down to anybody else.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: But we think the very highly of Twin Lakes, we think they have a very powerful offense.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've got a Hall of Fame coach that has
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I can't, I can't remember how many state championships, but multiple, I've played him numerous times.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's an outstanding coach, so I'm sure they're going to be very well prepared, so it's a big challenge for us on Friday to be honest.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Coach Ryan's about the question marks you still have, what have you seen that you've really liked so far?
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love our running game, I love our running backs by committee to where we have three different backs that we can rotate in there, they all have different strengths, they all have things that they are good at.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think our receiving core is improved from last year and that includes the tight end and
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Zach Richway has improved.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Isaiah has improved.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the code has improved.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they're all better than they were a year ago.
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think our offensive line is better than it was a year ago.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Our quarterback has a year of experience.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: So he should be better than he was a year ago.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I feel like offensively we ought to be quite a bit ahead of where we were last year.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've been impressed with our defensive line play.
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: linebacker play at times, and I think you said our, you know, our secondary let us down once at Franklin.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't really get challenged last week, so maybe that's, maybe that's the biggest question mark now.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Again, I feel like we have really good athletes back there, so they should be able to execute at a high level, because I do think across the board,
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Aaron, you know, so far it's what you're running back by committee has just been phenomenal for you guys and I mean, gosh, Caden Cook, he shows you have talented running bags that are underclassmen as well.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, most of them actually, well, you have two seniors in the restaurant or classmen.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you've seen your two soft wars, yeah.
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_04]: So, is that, how advantageous is that to have that kind of talent as far as been then being able to rotate players in and buy them some series of rest?
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, top three, they all play on, they all start on defense, so, you know, that's to be able to
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: to play him a third or half the time on office and not have a kid that never comes off the field is extremely valuable.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: One they can get their breath and to you know we have the ability to coach him during the game if other for out on the field the entire time.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: You can go quarters or even halves and not speak to a kid.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the goal is maybe we always have a set of fresh legs back there.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: High school in high school football in particular home games are very special.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: You only get three of them this year and there's only one left after this one.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have you talked about your team about taking advantage of playing at home?
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tell you, last Friday, that was one of the best crowd.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: long time.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now, I think it felt like if you paid your money to get in the date, you got introduced for some reason.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: It felt like we introduced every person in the stadium.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it was a huge crowd.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: We had our TYFL night.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: There was a cheerleading camp.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what we had teachers being recognized.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: it was a huge crowd.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I felt like we performed pretty well.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, maybe hopefully everybody will come back this weekend.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Again, it's homecoming weekend.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we don't play at home for a month.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, hopefully we will pack the stands again.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think our kids realize, I mean, you know, we're hopeful that maybe we can host a couple tournament games.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, three home games and two of them in the first three.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be five of the next six are on the road.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: So home games are few and far between.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know kids are going to know how to do a road trip.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's for sure.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, and I know it's not technically a conference game, but I'm guessing that you guys are looking at this as a conference game since Twin Lakes is in the
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's hard to keep up with how we do things in our conference anymore, but you know, they've always been a conference team and I think they're considered a conference team and all the other sports.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I think, I mean, I think for the most part we consider it, I know they're not in the small school division, but we consider the conference game and honestly just what we just look at them is, uh,
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: kind of a barometer to see if you like there a really good football team want to see you know how we compare to them.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, as I said, I'm taking twin legs.
• 14:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is going to be a great game.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Could go either way your prediction.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to assume you're taking the blue devils.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm taking the blue devils.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_04]: I do think it's going to be close.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: I could see a 17
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_04]: I can say 24, 21 game, I think it's going to, I'll be honest, I think it's going to be a one-score game.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_04]: I believe that I think I think tips into win or one-score game.
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_04]: And with the field goals that I know, I mean, Groganford has missed two field goals so far this season.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_04]: And he's pushed him just white from where he's lined up.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I will guarantee you that that'll be something that
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_04]: will have worked on a little bit this week.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_04]: Now I know Rogan's busy because he's only he took his kicker.
• 15:40
  [SPEAKER_04]: He is the goalkeeper for the Blue Devil Soccer team.
• 15:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Michelle thank you so much and make sure by the tune into our football Friday scoreboard show where Michelle and I go through all of the scores that were processed safely.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Talk to a couple of coaches and have some fun.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Definitely talk to Coach Tol.
• 15:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, yeah, we'll definitely talk to Coach Cole, and you know, and again, I'm excited.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_04]: I Blue Devils have, it's just really kind of hard, because they do have a lot of weapons.
• 16:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we have a white machine for, and they have a huge running back core factory, you know, flooring back to his running back, like, then he throw him, and pull him back,
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know, and it's pretty good and they have, I think they have two of the best light offensive linemen in the area possibly in the 83.
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: Definitely left tackle Jack Roach, and we're talking about those kids and definitely, they're just, I don't think they're missing too much of a beat from last year They still seem to be fast physical in their levels.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: As I mentioned during the podcast, we will almost certainly talk to Coach Cole after the game on Friday night, and hopefully a player or two, and we expect to hear from Coach Jose of Twin Lakes as well.
