WEEK 4 PREVIEW: Top 15 Games and Picks · Gateway Sports Venue Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sportsman News Show. I'm John,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: he's Roman. It is the week four preview getting.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Into the Gillis-Sandler-Von Sportsbook, which it's not technically undefeated, but
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: it feels that way with the amount of accuracy it
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: has produced in these first three weeks of the season.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And we hope it keeps going.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So it's a really good indicator of just how these
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: games are going to go typically.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: So Our first game.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, I'm sorry. Before we get into it, a
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: couple just disclaimers. Number one, we do not encourage any
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: gambling of any type. This is not a, you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I cannot stand nowadays how we see gambling ads everywhere.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's kind of disgusting, honestly. Yeah. So we're
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: not endorsing any gambling. When we say these quote-unquote lines,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: this is simply a way to make it a little
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: more fun for us to pick these games.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And we'll get to this game in a bit, but say,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: for example, East St. Louis versus Belleville East. I mean,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: we're obviously going to pick East St. Louis to win.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: But picking against the spread kind of makes it harder
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: on us. It gives it more of a challenge for us.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: That's kind of why we do this. And it's fun
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: to see the person who predicts these lines and Sends
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: them to us. It's fun to see how close they
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: can get sometimes. Because it can get eerily close sometimes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: For the spreads and over-unders.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Pretty wild. Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I just wanted to say that we discourage gambling.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And it's definitely illegal to do in high school games.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And we do not take any money. We do not.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: There's no money involved with this. It's just for fun,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you know, projection type thing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, it is.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: So anyway, first game. We're covering week four. In the GAC,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: big rivalry game here in the GAC South, we've got
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Francis Howell at Zuma West. Francis Howell is favored by 13.5,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: and the overrunner is 52.5. We talked a lot about
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: the Zuma West heartbreaking double overtime loss against Zuma North
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: last week. And Francis Howell, they....
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: They got blown out by St. Pius X from Kansas City,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: who's one of the better teams in the state. Yeah.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the St. Pius team who beat Rockhurst
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: in Week 1. And Francis Howell, I mean, they're off to.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one and two is never going to be acceptable
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: at Francis Howell. I mean, they always have very high
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: standards for them. I think Derek Chubb has definitely started
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the season better than he did last year. You got
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Damian Donaldson and Kyle Bevel doing pretty good out of
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the backfield. So offensively, they're, you know, kind of, I mean,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: they got shut out, but, you know, I think they're
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: showing a little more consistency than last year. And Zuma West.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I think this game for Howell's got to show kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of who they really are. Like they played, I mean,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they played no foul on team that they, Yeah, they
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: kind of let that get away from them, and then
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they played Zumult North, which is good, and then it
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: seemed like an overpowering St. Pius X team. So I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: think this is the start-out conference play. This is going
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to be a good indicator of how it really is
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: as a team.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I think Prince Howell wins this game, but I do
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: things while Wes covers the spread, and I'm going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: go with the under.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Wes, this is a team that we easily
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: could be talking about as a 2-1 team, or even
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: an 0-3.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Team, because they had some trouble with Union and barely
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: beat them by 7. Yeah, so it's been a.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Weird start to the season for the Jaguars. We knew
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they had to replace a lot of seniors who graduated
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a year ago.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Jordan Rasmussen, he's.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Been decent at quarterback so far, completing 50% of his passes,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: five touchdowns, three interceptions. I would say just decent. Nothing
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: more than that. He's not been bad, though. He's doing alright.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I just think so far with Well, I mean, you
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: could just look at it this way. Francis Howell kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of crushed Zumwalt North, and then West had, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: they ultimately lost to North in overtime.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: They had two huge opportunities to win the game. They
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: couldn't do it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't like they blew a big lead. Like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it was a close back-and-forth game the whole way. So there's,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I guess there's the logic right there. So I'll have
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Francis Howell covering, and I will take the under.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Zumwalt North... Number 14 game of the week,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: we've got Timberland at Zamont North in the GEC Central.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: We've got Zamont North favored by 2.5, and the Overns
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: at 53.5. Again, the Panthers scraping out in double overtime
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: against Zamont West last week. And Timberland, they offensively really
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: turned some heads with a nice 41-point performance against Liberty,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and they're at 2-1. This game is going to go
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: a long way for conference title implications in the Central, and,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you know, Zamont North is going to have some guys
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: back this week, so we'll see how that plays into it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: There's been a lot of grumblings from the Zamont North
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: fan base about a very stale offensive play calling, so
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: we'll see if that changes a bit. And for Timberland,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, they just got to keep it up offensively.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, putting up 41 against Liberty, putting up 59
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: against France on North, Week one, I feel like they
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: were kind of getting their feet wet, getting used to
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: it with their new QB, Tavern Williams. He's been generally
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: solid over the years so far. I think this is
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: going to come down to turnovers, honestly. I mean, if
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Zamal North can just convert on third downs and not
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: turn it over, I think they can win. But for now,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pick Timberland to win this game.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm going to go with the under.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is so tough.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I, I, I haven't seen, I've seen
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit of Zumont North. I haven't really seen
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: much of Timberland so far on film. Um, although their
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: stats have been fine, but, uh, I mean, they, they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: competed with, with Lafayette, who's, uh, certainly a good team.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And then, um, I don't think Liberty is bad at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: what their record implies. So I don't, I mean, that's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: an all right win for them, but, uh, I'll still
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: go with Zumont North to win just kind of going
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: off of history. And, uh, you know, I think, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: just think they'll find a way to win this one, really.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Not the best analysis right there, but sometimes it's.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Just you've got to go with your gut. Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And it's not been great so far. I mean, my
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: picks have not been so good this season. It's probably
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: been the worst I've ever gotten off to.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: You want the overrunner here?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'll go with the over, actually. All right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Next up, shifting over to the Metro East, we've got
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Columbia at Centralia. Centralia is favored by 13.5. The overrunner
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: is at 57.5. Columbia took care of business against Wood River.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: They are now 2-2. And then Centralia, they're 4-0. They
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: defeated a really good win against Freeburg, 35-17. And it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: so funny how Estill High School Sports lists their mascots.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: It says orphans, boys, and the annies of the girls.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: So I think that's great. Anyways, yeah, for Centralia... really
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: solid rushing attack, especially against Freeburg. I mean, 223 yards
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: as a team, over 10 yards per carry. You know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and this was a Freeburg team who was 3-0 coming
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: into that game and had only allowed 13 points all year. So,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: To put up that kind of rushing attack against a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: solid Friberg team is very, very impressive. So I'm going
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to pick Centralia to cover here, and I'll go with
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the over.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Orphans are led by Archie Goaway, who's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: still only a junior, but he's been a starter since
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: he was a freshman.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: He's really efficient.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Seven touchdowns, one interception, 51 of 72 passing.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So he's completed 70% of his passes.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And he's got a good running back, Deshaun Staples, 445
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: rushing yards, nine touchdowns, and he's averaging 10.3 yards a carry. And, um,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Kenny Bratton's a solid, he's the best receiver. He's got
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: five receiving touchdowns.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: 276 yards. And, um, yeah, this is a pretty good
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Cinderella team.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I knew that they had, they had some
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: big expectations before the season started and so far they're
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: living up to them. I mean, they'd beaten everybody. I mean,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think they, I wouldn't say 35, 17 is
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a blowout win, but it's, I mean, they've blown out
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: everybody else besides Freeburg and, um, beaten everybody by, um,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you know, at least 18 points.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've beaten everybody by three scores. So, um,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Columbia is a solid team. Um, you know, they got, um,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're two and two, but it's a competitive
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two and two that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, the losses to Waterloo and breeze central, I
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: guess losing the Waterloo by 24 is kind of a,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: definitely a bug will be right there, but, uh, Jackson law,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he's their running back. He's got 10 rushing touchdowns this season.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: That actually might be the most in the area. Um, so,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: He's averaging eight yards a carry, but it seems like
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: if you can limit him, then you kind of stop
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Columbia's offense.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And so far, Centralia, I.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Mean, they've been pretty good all around. So I'm going
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to go with the orphans here, and I'll have them covering,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and I will also take the over.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Looks like we agree on that one. Next up, going
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to the MCC for a conference matchup, we've got CBC
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: at Vianney. CBC feared by 29.5, the Overns at 54.5.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: We went really in-depth with the CBC shootout win over
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: DeSmet last week, where CBC really capitalized on DeSmet's turnovers,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and it was the Daylon Austin Harvey coming out game,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: where he had shown the flashes the week before, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: really put it all together and just freaking lit up
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the stat sheet against the Spartans and for Vianney they
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: uh they gave Lutheran St. Charles the belt last week
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: they won 78 to 6 I mean I don't know
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: if that's some kind.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Of rivalry in a shortened game as well.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was um that got pretty ugly pretty quickly
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: um but that was you know I didn't think it'd
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: be that obscene but I definitely thought Vianney would comfortably
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: win that one. For CBC, yeah, Vianney is an okay team,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: but there's no reason this should be a close game.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: If CBC could just take care of the football and
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: not turn it over and then just convert third down
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: it's pretty simple um yeah so yeah i'll go cbc
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to cover here and i'll go with uh i'll go
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: with the over.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I think vianney i think if they can get something
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: offensively out of this game against cbc um like score
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: over 20 points then i think that's a really good
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: sign for their offense because that's a strength of their
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: team and um But yeah, I think CBC's got to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: do whatever they want to do against Vianney's defense in
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this one. When I saw Vianney against Ledoux, that's basically
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: what Ledoux did. And so if Ledoux can do that,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: then CBC most certainly can do that as well. So yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I got CBC winning by, I think, more than 30.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll have them cover, and I'll.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Take the over. All right.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Another conference matchup. It's week four. A lot of conferences
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: are starting their conference play this week. But back over
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to Metro East in the Southwest Conference, we've got Belleville
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: East at East St.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Louis.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: The Flyers are a favorite by 49.5.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, 49.5.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: And the over-under is 62.5. If history indicates, this should
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: not be a very close game. And shoot, what is
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: the Flyers' motto that they have on their scoreboard that
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: they have all over social media? All gas, no brakes.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: And they definitely applied that last week in a 64-6
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: victory over O'Fallon.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So how do they slow down then?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: They don't. They don't need to. It's all gas, no brakes, John.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Come on now. No reason to slow down. They've got
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: to win every game. Come on now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I just want to use that metaphor literally sometimes.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: The Flyers had, let's see, eight different guys with catches
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: this past week. They've got everyone involved. It's funny because
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: they put up 64 points and had 460 yards of offense.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It was just an all-around great game for them. They
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: really are just operating at like four levels above their
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: conference opponents. And I think the cover, even though it's a,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: it's a pretty obscene spread. I think the cover, the spread,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I'm going to take the, um, I think they shut
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: out bevel East. I think, I think the final score
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: is going to be, yeah, I think the final score
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: was going to be 55 to zero. So I'll go
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: with East St. Louis to cover and I'll go with
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the under.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I can't disagree with that. I mean, I'm, I know
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: bevel East, they certainly capable, but if East St. Louis
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: puts their minds to it, then they can certainly shut
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: them out. So, Yeah, I'll go with the Flyers' cover
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and take the... I'll take the over.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm putting that in real quick.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they did score 64 against O'Fallon, so... Yeah, yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: All right, next up, slew high at St. Dominic. The
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Billikens are favored by 2.5 points. The overruns at 37.5. So,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: slew high, got some injuries to deal with, but they
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: did scrap one out against Chaminade. And then St. Dominic,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: they're also sitting at 2-1. They defeated Warrington. That's a
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: nice win for them, 31-14.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: St.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Dominic's been interesting so far. I mean, they went a
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: close one against North Point, which doesn't look very good
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: right now. And they only put up seven points on Marquette.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Then they beat Warrington by 17, so maybe they've got
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: things figured out.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if this is a Warrington
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: team that they've been like the last few seasons.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Although, that was a 2-0 Warrington team.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: So, and offensively, St. Dominic kind of did just enough
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to win, honestly. Defensively, it was where they really won
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: this game against Warrington. Tyson Griner, who's one of the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: best defensive linemen in the area. He got two sacks
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: against Warrington. He got at least six now. He had,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I think he, he has to.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He does have six.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Six sacks so far, yeah. So, two sacks a game
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: for Griner. That's incredible. He's, I think he had 10
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: or more last year as a junior, so he's got
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: to be getting there with their school record for sacks.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I think the state record for sacks in a season
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: was actually Parker Monning for Zumwalt North back in 2019.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I think he got like 24. Wow. Which was ridiculous.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if he's going to be able
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: to get that, but he's putting together a great career
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: and is their guy for defense for the Crusaders. So
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a really scrappy
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: defensive game. And for Slough High, as long as their
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: offense can just, not even just score every drive, but
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: just string first downs together to give their defense enough breaks,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I think they should be okay to win this one.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Because we've seen games where their defense keeps them in
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the game, but if they're on the field for too long,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: they just kind of break. which isn't necessarily on them.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: It's just, you know, it's hard to win when your
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: defense is in the field for a long amount of
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: time in a row.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Especially when your offense isn't giving, is like going three
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and out.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So yeah, I'm going to go with slew
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: high to cover here and I'm going to go, it's
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a super low total, but I'm going to go with
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the under. Let's have some fun.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll agree with you on that, on those fronts
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: as well. I think it's going to be pretty low
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: scoring game.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, unless like if, if Patrick Romello is back.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: For slew, I mean, we don't have any information on that.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Then I think the, Salub definitely wins the game if
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: they have him.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's got to be. I mean, it was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a really close call against Chaminade. They got it done.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I think they'll have a little bit more success against St.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Dominic offensively, especially now that they have a game under
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: their belt. They're a Pat Stein at quarterback. But I
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: expect this to be still a fairly close game. But ultimately,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I just think the Junior Bills defense is just really,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And that'll be the difference in the game. Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Next up, we've got Fox at Ledoux. Ledoux favored by 14.5.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: The overrun is at 52.5. Ledoux is off to a
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: fantastic start. They're 3-0. A lot of good things offensively
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: for them. They defeated Riverview 49-0 this past week. That
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: was on a Thursday. They've got an extra day to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: work with here. Fox, they're off to a decent start, too.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: They're 2-1.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: They defeated Hazel West in Week 3. It's funny because
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: last year, this is... Kind of, I mean, different environments
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: for each team last year, this game. Because last year
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: between these two teams, this was the last game of
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the regular season.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: And last season, Fox came into the game 1-7 with
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: several close losses. But, you know, 1-7 is 1-7. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: hate saying that. I really do. But, you know, it
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: wasn't like last year. Fox had a 2026 coronavirus schedule
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: and they were 1-7. It was a normal schedule. They
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: were not horrible, but they were just not that good
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: of a team last year. And then they came into
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Ledoux and shocked the Rams and won. And Ledoux, to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: that point, was actually having a solid year. They were
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: a six-win team at that point, and they lost to Fox.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: So that was definitely a surprise. But at least, you know, offensively,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Ledoux last year would kind of just, I mean, you're Ledoux,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: you know this more than I do.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: It just seems like Ledoux's O-line just communicates better.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: And just fills their assignments a lot better than they
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: did last year.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: And I think that's a huge part of it that
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: kind of gets slept on. Some people will attack, like,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the QB performances or, like, better talent this year for receivers. And, yes,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Ledoux is more talented this year at receivers. They have
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys coming back.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yes and no, because last year they had, you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Mason Martin. I mean, they could have had him at
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: tight end. And then you also had– they had a
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: really good senior, Maddox Wolfe, who's now playing football at
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Chicago University. So it's like– I would say their receiving
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: core just reloads and arguably better. But, like, yeah, I
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: would say– I mean, obviously their offense is better because
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: they have a much– older and better offensive line. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: then like Emmitt McIntosh is just, uh, he's been really,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: really good at quarterback so far for them.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, I think Fox is, they're a decent team,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: but I think Ladue definitely has a talent edge and
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: should win this game comfortably. I'm going to go with
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Ladue to cover here. I'm going to go with the,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I'll go with the over.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: So the problem for Ladue is not the talent edge.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: And if it comes down to it, if they are
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: able to execute offensively, they, they should win the game.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And that would only mean their, their defense just can't
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: get off the field.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: But, uh, I mean, the problem for the last year
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: against Fox was, uh, I mean, they got a few
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: stops on defense, but their defense was just, it's felt
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: like for the vast majority of the game, their defense
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: was on the field and they couldn't get off of it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: And Fox, it was just a three yard and three
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: yards on the cloud at us. And it was working
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: for them. And, um, but also we do can capitalize on,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: they had, they had multiple trips to the red zone
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: a year ago and they didn't score.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And so they didn't capitalize on that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: But so far this year, they've been excellent at capitalizing, um,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: whenever they, you know, get, you know, they make a penetration.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Inside the 20 yard line.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: And, um, so they've been highly effective doing that and
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: just so much better at moving the football.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And, um, so I think.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Ultimately that's going to be the difference, but obviously if,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: if we lose D line, cause here's the thing, I mean, Fox,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: they always have a big O line and obviously tight ends.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Um, so they're going to be blocking, um.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: You know, they're going to try to probably overrun with
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: you by doing that, trying that. And, uh, Well, he's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: got a fast and physical D-line, but just they don't
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: have the size, so that's going to be the important
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: part of the game, and I think where it can potentially.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Be won and lost.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: If they can't shift through Fox's blocks and get into
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the backfield or just meet the, you know, Fox's ball
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: carriers at the, near the line of scrimmage. And yeah,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: it's going to be difficult for Ladue. But so far
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: their defense has done a solid job, especially when it
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: matters during, you know, games. It's just kind of, the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: defense just isn't, seems to be as good when Ladue's
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: got like a two or three score lead, then they
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: kind of let off the gas a little bit, the intensity. So,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah, if Ledoux can get it to a two-score game,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to be fine. And I could
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: see this going. It could be a 28, 35-point blowout win,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: or it could.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Be a one-score game.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: But I still got Ledoux going and winning this game.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: And I also think they got a lot more of
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: a respect for Fox this year, honestly, because Fox has
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: beaten Ledoux two years in a row. And it's going
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to be really hard for the players to just overlook
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Fox because... I know growing up in Ladue, it's, it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: really easy to think that, Oh, like we're playing these
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: guys like, Oh, they're from Jefferson County.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Like they don't, they're not that good. So like that,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that's a win.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Like, I think they're going to realize like, look, these
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: guys last year, the last two years, they push us around.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Like we got to respect who they are. And you know, that's,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and that's one of our weaknesses is just speaking to
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Ladue speak. I'm speaking as a, in Ladue's perspective right here,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I gotta say. So like they can push us around
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So like, we gotta just, be focused
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: and treat this like it's a big game. And it
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: is a big game. Cause I think potentially this could
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: come down to whoever wins the conference. So, uh, even
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: though it's early for that. So I got Lidu ultimately
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: covering and, uh, I think I'll take the under just
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: because I think Fox is going to do everything they
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: can to keep Lidu's offense off the field and just
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: try to mope the clock as long as they can, like.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Play, play defense on offense.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And I mean, they, it worked to near perfection last year.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: So, That's going to be their strategy again.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Surprise, surprise. You guys get more coverage than you asked
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: for about a LeDoux game.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: You're welcome.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Next up in the Metro League, we got MICDS at Westminster.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Westminster is favored by 2.5 points. Okay, wow. Over under
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: that 60.5. I can't be that surprised, honestly, because Westminster, John,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: they're 3-0. They defeated John Burroughs 34-0 this past week.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: They beat Wright City in Week 2 34-7, and they
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: beat Holton Week 1 37-21.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And MICDS....
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Their offense has been pretty good, too. They beat Richmond
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: in Week 2, 62-38, and they beat Lutheran South this
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: past week, 64-16. So this is actually probably the biggest
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: game between these two teams in quite a while. I mean,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: MICDS has definitely owned the Wildcats as of late. I mean,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: the last time Westminster won this matchup was back in 2015.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And that's the last time that they started out 3-0. Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: So, you know, again, I'm not going to base my
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: pick off of a game from 11 years ago, but...
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: And my CBS, you know, I saw them playing week
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: one for a bit. They've got some really good talent.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've got guys that can make great catches.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: They've got a decent O-line. The depth just isn't quite
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: there up front.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: When they sub guys out in the front seven just
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to get guys breathers, they can, you know, allow unfortunate
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: things to happen we'll just say that yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's an interesting game because i mean it's it's different
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: because like micds played ladue and like they could not
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: run the ball against ladue but obviously they've been doing
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: whatever they wanted to do offensively these last two games
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: but westminster is definitely going to be there probably not
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: as tough a test as ladue but it's easily their
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: second best test of the season and like westminster is
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a physical team they're really well coached and they have
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: they have some pretty good players on the defense like
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: john henry steam he's a really good linebacker he's about
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: like six.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Three And.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: This is– yeah, it's just the– Westminster, they returned a
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: lot of starters from a year ago. And I also–
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I really like their quarterback play. Let me get to
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: their roster.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Charlie Beckmeyer, the Westminster QB. He is the– do everything
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: for them. He has some good passing lines, and he
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: leads the team in rushing as well.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which– I might say something about their running
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: backs a little bit, but, um, Hey, it's working.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: So he's got nine touchdowns. So they probably have a
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: lot of like goal line packages for him or something
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: in the red zone.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: So, um, yeah, he's a load for them, but, uh,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I really like him. My CDS is athleticism, particularly Amari Roberts, um, with,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: you know, he's, he's been really, really good for them
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to start out. I mean, he's, um, I just, I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: re I, he really impressed me when I saw him
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: against Ladue. And so he's, he's, he's got big play capabilities, um, This.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Should be a really good game.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I think I will favor MICDS in this one, so
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I have them covering.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And I will take the over. I think.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It's just going to be interesting because can Westminster control
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage? Because I do think they have
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: MICDS beat there, but are they fast enough.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: To cover MICDS as athletes?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Because usually when I talk about this, I favor teams
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: who can who I think are going to win the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: battle of line of scrimmage. And I think that's probably
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: going to be Westminster. But right now, I really like
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: MICDS' play calling on offense. And I think they're young
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: on defense, but I think they're getting better each game
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: with that. And so I think their run defense is
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: going to be better. And so I think that's going
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: to be enough for them to win this game.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: All right, next up. We go to our number seven
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: game of the week. We've got Marquette at Kirkwood. Kirkwood
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: favored by 20.5. The overrun is at 58.5. After a
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: somewhat rough week one, Marquette's defense has really gotten into shape.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: They've allowed just 25 points combined over the last two
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: games against St. Dominic and Rittner. And their offense put
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: up a clinic against Rittner. And this is definitely going
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to be their biggest test for the defense yet against Kirkwood. Kirkwood,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: in just two games, they've combined to score 111 points.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: You know, receiving-wise, I mean, they got Travis George Jr.,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Billy Mansfield, George Kidd, Amir Perks. One of the deepest
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: receiving cores for any public school in the state, really.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And they got Chase Griffin and Darion Brown, who have
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: been very solid in the running game as well. So, yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: and it's funny because Nick Tucci is definitely the first-team QB,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: but because they got A lot of big leads, they're
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: allowing a backup, Joey Goodman, to get in there a lot,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: and he's got three pass touchdowns of his own this season.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: And that was all in the Hazelwood East game. I
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: don't know how that's going to happen, but yeah, we'll see.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: It was weird because it was the third quarter and
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Goodman came in when it was still competitive. It was
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: still fairly close, and it looked like he did a
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: pretty good job, though.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so... I think last year was funny because I
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: was tracking the game on Twitter, and it was like,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, Marquette scored first. Holy cow. And then
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood obviously pulled away and won comfortably. But I think
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: this one should be a little more competitive. Marquette's just
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: got to take care of the ball, and they should
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: keep it close. But I think Kirkwood, for now, still
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: has the edge. And I'm going to go with Kirkwood
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: to cover, and I will go with the over.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like Marquette, they've started to figure out
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: some things on offense too. So I will also take
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the over. How actually have Marquette covering? 20.5, I mean,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I think this will be a fun game, a good
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: fun game.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I think Kirkwood ultimately wins, though.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: But that's a big spread, 20.5, and just talking more
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: about Marquette, you feel a little bit more.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Confident about them. So, yeah, it's kind of a bold
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: pick on my end.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm smart for it, but, yeah, definitely
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: kind of going against my initial judgment.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Hopping over to Metro East, we got Triad at Mascuta.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Triad favored by 4.5 points. The overrunners at 67.5. Triad's 4-0.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: They beat Alton 41-14. This is the third game this
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: year where Triad has scored 41 points. That's kind of funny.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And then Mascuta, they come into this one 3-1. They've
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: had offensively a very solid year so far. They beat
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Belleville West 37-23 this past week.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be a devil's advocate, Roman, and ask you,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: how is Triad scoring a lot of points funny?
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Why them scoring the exact same number of points, then
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: scoring 41 points three times so far this year.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: It's kind of funny.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Okay. That is funny.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: What are the odds of that?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about something else. That is
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: actually really funny.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Um, that's just like, you know, score got me type
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: stuff right there where it's like, okay, good stats that exist,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: but do not matter. There you go. That's another, uh,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: funny thing about high school football. There are so many
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: teams and so many games are bound to see funny, uh,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: occurrences like that. Um, Anyway, for Triad, they've been great.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Brody Haskwin, seven touchdowns so far for him. And then
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Jaden Rodgers averaging over seven yards per carry. He is
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: definitely their bell cow back. And then for Mascuta, not
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the craziest of games to beat Bilbo West, but they
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: got the job done. They put up well over 512
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: yards of offense, which I think was very impressive.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: This really looks like Mascuta's best offense they've had in
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: quite a while.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: They're putting up a lot more points than they typically
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: have compared to the last three years or so that
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I can remember.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: And they got five sacks as a team as well.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Five different guys got a sack last week from Mascuda.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: So that's pretty impressive. I mean, if Mascuda can get...
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's going to be the biggest... I think
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: this is the key to the game right here is
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: can Mascuda get consistent pressure on.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Defense?
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like if they can... I mean, again,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Brody Haskins is definitely a solid QB, but if they
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: can force him out of the pocket and just sack
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: him a few times and just end triad drives before
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: they even start, that would be huge for them. Because
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: this might be one of those games. I mean, just
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: like the Mosquito versus Highland game from a couple weeks ago,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: it might be a game where whoever has the ball
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: last wins.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: But I think this is going to be a really
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: fun shootout. I'm going to go with... I'll go with
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Mascoutah to win here. I'll go with the Indians to win,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and I'll go with the over.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: This should be a fun one, though.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I've got to say, Jack Helgenhorff has had a really
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: good season so far for Mascoutah. He's a junior, 5'10.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I think he's a lefty. I could be wrong, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I thought I remember him seeing some highlights of him.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: He's a lefty quarterback.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: He is the coach's son, Aaron Haugendorf's son, which is
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. And then Sean Murphy, who we've said his
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: name numerous times over the last few years. He leads
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: them in rushing with six touchdowns, 435 yards, 70 yards
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: of carry for him. And yeah, I think this is
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: going to be a pretty fun game. I got to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: pick Triad just because I think I picked against him
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: like two times already.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And I was wrong. So I think I got a–
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: The gambler's fallacy I see. Yeah, it is a– we
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: don't promote gambling here.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I know. That was– I mean I'm not promoting
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: gambling but that's like what the fallacy is called.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: It's a respectful picker's fallacy I guess.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Again, no money is being exchanged.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I'm referring to where you're doing this. You're picking the
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: same thing and it's losing. So you switch expecting to
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: win because you switched.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what I'm referring to.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it most definitely is like that. So I do
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: have Triad winning, covering, and it's a big spread right there.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I will take the over as well.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: All right, very good.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both teams have not really proven to stop any
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: good teams who have a good offense.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: All right, into our top five games of the week.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: We've got a little bit of a Rockwood rivalry here.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: We've got Eureka at Rockwood Summit. Eureka is here by 11.5
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: points here. The overrun is at 48.5. After both these
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: teams had brutal losses in their own ways in Week 2,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: they both got back on track in Week 3. Summit
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: handled Hazel Central, I believe.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she was 63-0. Yeah.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Jeez, how am I going to have fallen?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Jeez.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I just had a.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: You just had like a PTSD moment right there.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I had a PTSD on Hazel Central's behalf, and I
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: was like, wow.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: That was like an Obi-Wan has PTSD moment right there.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of. But yeah, Eureka also got back on track.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: We talked about their Parkway North game on last episode.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: If you look at it this way, they easily could
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: be 3-0 right now.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: They should be. And I think the difference here is
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: that Eureka's loss was mostly just self-inflicted wounds where they
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: had– Horribly timed turnover against Hannibal.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: But then Rockwood Summit in Week 2, they just got
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: physically beat up. Which is rare.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Especially against a school of that size.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Do I think Rockwood Summit is just a bad
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: team because of that? No, I don't. I think they're
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: still an okay team. But I don't see Eureka getting
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: just physically a manhandle like that against maybe anybody. Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Because of that, I'm confident Eureka is going to come
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: out strong and just win the battle of the lines
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage. So I'm going to pick them to cover,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: and I'll go with the over.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Eureka does have a four-game winning streak over Summit. And
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: according to STL Today, they are 13-3 all-time against the Falcons.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Might be more, actually, because it only cuts off at 1999.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: But Summit's only had a football program since 1993, though.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: So it covers it mostly. Yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: You going with Eureka in this one?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I am going with the Wildcats in this one. Yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I do have them covering, and I'll take the over.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Alright, looks like we agree. Alright, number four game of
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the week, we got Seckman at Pattonville. Pattonville fared by 7.5 points,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: the overruns at 57.5. We went in depth to Pattonville's
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: solid 26-21 win against Lafayette last week, and the offense,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: even though the point total doesn't show it, it seems
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: like the offense is getting more consistent week by week, which,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: you know, that's how it should be, you know. QB
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Trevor Beckerman and his receivers is kind of getting their
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: timing down, which is good. And over the season, so,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we came into the year thinking,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: you know, Beckerman's going to be one of the best
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: QBs in the state, which is high expectations for the junior,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: but he's putting up for it so far. I mean,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: he's completed over 70% of his passes for about 500
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: yards so far, seven touchdowns, just one interception. That's pretty
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: darn good. And then for Lafayette, or excuse me, Seckman,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I briefly talked about their win against Lindbergh, and they
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: got it done, but it wasn't pretty. It's a Lindbergh
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: team that's kind of struggling through some injuries, so I
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: definitely expected Seckman to win by more. It's just, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: don't know any, Conor Bear had not the best game
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: throwing the ball. He was 8 of 20. So I
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: don't know if that was– and I haven't seen the highlights.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that was just misthrows or if
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: it was drops or if it was just miscommunications a lot.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Lindbergh is kind of a hard team to throw on
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: too because that's kind of basically their defense off of that,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: trying to limit the pass.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know. I think Seckman's a solid team.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I think they've got really good offensive line play. But
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: I think Pattonville's just the better team.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Certainly the more athletic team.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Pattonville's been more consistent this year. Yeah.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Well, both teams are 3-0, but they certainly do have
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: a more impressive win over Lafayette.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: If Paddleville played Lindbergh, I don't think they win by
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: just seven points. That's kind of what I'm trying to say.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I see what you're saying, and I agree, by
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the way, with that.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm going with the Pirates to win this
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: game and cover, and yeah, I'll take the.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Over as well. All right.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Next up, number three game of the week, into the MCC.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: We got Chaminade at DeSmet. DeSmet fared by 24 and
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: a half. The overruns at 51 and a half. DeSmet
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: is angry. They just lost a rivalry game to CBC,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: and Chaminade's also kind of angry, because they just lost
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: a rivalry game to Slew High. Yeah, well, I mean,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: there's two teams looking to get back to the win
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: column on conference play.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that was Chaminade's closest, they've come to
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: beat Slew in like five years.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, I mean, I guarantee you Chaminade really felt
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: like they should have won that game. I, I, I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: know that. I'll just say that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, but obviously DeSmet, yeah, these two teams are
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: coming off of two tough losses in different ways for themselves,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And I think both these teams are still in a
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: good spot.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Obviously, I expect DeSmet to win this game because it's,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is potentially like the easiest game they've
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: played in their first three games so far. I mean,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: they played Live4Life, Ritter, CBC, who are, it's possibly like
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: three top 10 teams right there in the area.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: So, and I think Chaminade, I think they're, they're, they're,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: they're slowly, you know, moving up the, the chain as well. Um,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I just, I don't know if they're going
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: to have an answer for Smith's offense though. And, uh,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Jamarian Barnes is looking like a pretty good quarterback for them,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: especially as a dual threat, but, um, and they got
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Isaac Hudson at receiver too. So he's got, that's one
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: pretty good option to have, but, uh, I think you're
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: going to need to have a little bit more than
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: that to really uncork this DeSmet defense, which has been
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: uncorked twice now, but against two of the best offenses
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: in the whole area, though. Yeah, so I think DeSmet's
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: got to step back up and kind of regain themselves.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I think they win. I think they cover, and I'll
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: take the over. All right. I bet Chaminade scores some points, though.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Next up, number two game of the week, we've
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: got St. Mary's at Jackson. Jackson favored by 20.5. The
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: overrunners at 55.5. Jackson, they, yet again, had a very
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: comfortable win against Sykeston. They won 41-7. St. Mary's, we
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: talked about last episode how they had a last-minute win
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: against Cahokia in a fun one. 25-22 was the final
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: score on that one, I'm pretty sure.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Well, the Comanches are one thing, but the Indians are
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: a different tribe.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Ooh, quote of the episode right there. That's awesome. Mic
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: drop right there. I don't know how I followed that
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: one up.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: That's probably the coolest thing I've said in like three months.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: That was a good bar. That was a good bar, John.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I'll give that to you. That was fun.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: How long did it take you to come up with
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: that one?
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Literally five seconds. Okay. I'm not going to lie. Okay.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: There you go. Yeah, St. Mary's, they– Interesting year so
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: far for them. I mean, 2-1. They played IC Catholic,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: which is one of the better teams in really all
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: of Chicago.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Illinois. Well, that goes kind of hand-in-hand, right?
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: And then two really close ones against solid teams in
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Festus and Cahokia. But, I mean, as you said, Jackson is,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: according to many, the best team in the state of Missouri.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those many.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they haven't played the craziest schedule so far, but.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I would say this is their biggest test so far
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: for Jackson.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Especially if Kingston Miles is playing, which we don't know.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope he is. I hope he's healthy.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Even if he does, I still think Jackson's a better
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: team than St. Mary's.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. One thing that's kept Jackson so good over the
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: years was just their downfield blocking, and that's one of
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the reasons why they are the best team in the
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: state is that if their receivers and their offensive line
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: can block linebackers and their secondary defenders, the defensive secondary
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: so well. Once any running back or QB gets past
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: the first level, he's going to get 10 yards more.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: He just is. because they're so good at cleanly getting
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: blocks downfield and not committing penalties. That's one of the
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: things that's put them at the top of the state
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: year in, year out. I think Samir is a good team,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: but again, Jackson is just an even better team. I'm
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: going to go with the Indians to cover here, and
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I'll go with the underdogs.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Also, it's just the Pitt. You've got to deal with that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: It's like a college football atmosphere.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: It really is.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: It's, you know, I think this is St. Mary's first
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: ever time playing in Jackson. So, like, that's going to be,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: it's not easy.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: When, like, you have the entire town out there, you know,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: cheering against you. And it's all in good taste. It's just,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just a loud crowd. They're really passionate. Yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: So, and it's going to be a great test. It's
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: probably going to be, it's arguably, I think it will
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: be St. Mary's' biggest test because I think, Playing Jackson,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: especially in Jackson, is harder than potentially playing DeSmet. Just anywhere,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: because Jackson is already a great team, and then they play.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: In the best stadium and the best atmosphere in Missouri.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: So that makes it that much harder. Yeah. CBC found
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: out last year. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going with the Indians.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry. I didn't say.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Over-under.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I will take the under, actually. Okay.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I think Jackson does a decent job on defense, but
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I think St. Mary's can hold Jackson down for a
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: little bit defensively. I still think Jackson. I still have
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Jackson covering. That's my compliments to the sportsbook.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a complicated spread.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. All right. Into our number one game of the week,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: we've got Millard South at Cardinal Ritter. Millard South is
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: favored by 7.5 points. The overrunner is at 57.5. Miller
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: South is a team out of the Omaha, Nebraska area.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: They are 3-0 so far. Max Preps has them ranked
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: as the number one team in Nebraska and the 60th
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: best team in the country. They actually defeated Lee's Summit
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: North back in Week 2, 24-14. That's a pretty impressive win.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Lee's Summit North is one of the better programs in
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the Kansas City area.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I think Lee's Summit North's 1-2 now. They're 2-1. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah. Okay, good.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I heard that wrong.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: They're 2-1. They beat Lee's Summit West to hand them
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: their first loss this season, 34-7.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: That's a really good win.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very good win. So, you know, for
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Millard South to defectively contain the Broncos like that is
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: pretty impressive.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: So, Millard South, they are led by none other than
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: five-star quarterback, Nebraska commit, Trey Taylor.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: And fortunately, they have their stats on max props, so
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: he's got nine touchdowns with two interceptions. He's thrown for
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: 859 yards and has completed 58% of his passes. Good
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: for a 102.8 quarterback rating.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty good.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They have three guys, and Taylor is one of them.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Taylor actually leads their team in rushing yards at 199.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: So this is a team, they throw it a lot.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: When you have a five-star, that's what you're going to do.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: But it looks like they don't have the greatest rushing attack.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Right there for them.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: But it seems like their defense has been really good.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: They did give up 34 in their first game to
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Millard North, who I would imagine they're a pretty good
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: team in their own right.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, they're 2-1. So that was their only loss. And, yeah, Ritter,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: they're 1-2, but they're the best 1-2 team in the state.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so, I mean, they had a close loss.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, two close losses to.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: A buzzer beater loss to DeSmet.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Yes. And then, what was it? A 28-22 loss to
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Knoxville Catholic.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Knoxville Catholic, yep.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think Ritter can win this game. Do
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: I actually think it'll happen? I'm not quite sure. I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: think Ritter's... I mean, they have the athletes to compete
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: against anybody.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Just about anybody in the whole country. And, but their defense,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ritter's defense has kind of been their bigger
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: question mark this season because they gave up 18 to
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Luther North, who's now, who's 0-3.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: And then, well, I mean, I should say a really
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: competitive 0-3, by the way, for Luther North's sake. And then, obviously,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: 49 to the Smet. They couldn't hold on to a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: 16-point lead at home. And then, yeah, 28 to Knoxville Catholic.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, this is, and now they've got to go
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: up against a five-star quarterback. So, I think it's going
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: to be a great game.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited. We're definitely going to have a camera
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: at this game.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Millard South, minus 7.5.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: So you took Ritter to cover that spread.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Before your prediction, I need to give my key to
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: the game. The key to the game here, Ritter has
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: to execute on their double teams offensively. Because if Ritter
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: can just get a Ritter's rushing attack so far has
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: been inconsistent at best. I think one of the reasons
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: they lost to DeSmet is because in the second half
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: they couldn't string drives together, especially in the third quarter.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: And that's when they let DeSmet get back in the game.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: And that's mostly because they were getting one, two yards
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: per rush between the tackles, and they were kind of
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: just relying on screen passes to do most of their work.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: And in the fourth quarter they were getting the ball
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: downfield pretty well with some deep passes, but still they
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: couldn't quite get a consistent rushing attack going.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Their stats in that game said they have 217 rushing yards.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: For Ritter against the Smet?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Average eight yards a carry.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Well, it definitely didn't seem like that in that game.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: I was there. I'm not calling anyone a liar. I'm
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: just saying that I saw it with my own eyes.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Ritter's rushing attack, especially in the third quarter, didn't do much.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: And against a team like Miller and South, you're going
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: to have to put drives together throughout the whole game.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: If you want to control the ball, control the clock.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: And so for Ritter, if they can execute double teams
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: well and just get five, six yards per carry, that's
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: going to go miles for them, honestly. So I'm going
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: to be bold. I think Ritter covers, and I hate
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: saying this because I want them to win. They're the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: area team. I really want them to win. I think
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: they lose in the last minute of the end. I
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: really think they do. These are two really good teams
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: that are playing each other, but I think Millward South
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: just edges it out. and I'll go with the Patriots
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: to win. I'll go with Ritter to cover, and I'll
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: go with the under.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is going to be a really
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: close game.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I do have Ritter covering, but I also do have
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Millard South ultimately coming out on top, and I think
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: it will come down to a final play, a final possession,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: and I'm taking the over. I think it's going to
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: be an offensive game, offensive-minded game. I think that's really
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: what Ritter needs to happen, I think, in order to
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: win this.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Game, because....
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah and like kind of what you said it's like
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: they are going to need to establish some kind of
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: a rushing attack um just to keep up with millard
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: south in this one but also so does millard south
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: that doesn't seem like looking at their stats they haven't
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: been exactly efficient rushing the football themselves so i think
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: that's what both teams are going to have to do
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: and if they can't then it's going to come down
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: to who makes you know more plays through the air
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: and um I don't know the type of receivers Miller
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: South has, but I know Ritter's got some pretty good options.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: With Ryan Rich McDavis and Milan Green, especially. Two power
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: four prospects right there.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: And Ryland Moore, I don't know how good he did
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: against Catholic because they don't have their stats, but so
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: far he's been really good.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: He has.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so ultimately he's got to go with Miller South
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: in this one. And usually, well, in football... if you
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: have the best.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Quarterback on the field, especially in a, when both teams are,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: have spread offenses, usually that's, that's going to be the difference.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: And so just given that edge to Trey Taylor right there.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: So that's it. All right.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Uh, I do need to amend the statement. I made
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: it earlier in the podcast. I said that the state
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: record for Saxon this season was Parker Monning in 2019
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: for his mountain North. He had 28, he had 24,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: but it was him in 2019 for his mountain North.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: So I was close, but.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Was that record since broken?
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: No, that is the record.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: That is the current state record for sacks in a season,
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: which is 24.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: So hopefully Tyson Griner can get there. They'd be kind
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: of cool if he does, but that's a heck of
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: a number. It is, yeah. So we'll see.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: He's probably going to get more double teams as the
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: season goes on.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: He probably will.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, it should be a fun week. Even though
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: we're only in week four, a lot of huge conference
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: games that are going to determine who comes out as
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: conference champions. And a lot of– out of state matchups too,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: like Millard South versus Cardinal Ritter. That one should be fun.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: Um, yeah, it should be a fun week.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know where
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be filming, uh, yet right now. Um,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: still looking into that, have some ideas, but, uh, obviously
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: like we usually send the film schedule out on Wednesday
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: when typically like when we have everything finalized with all
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: our videographers and where they're.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Going to go. So, uh, yeah, looking forward to that. Hopefully,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be able to film more games this week too. So, Okay, then. Yes.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys for listening, as always. We will get back.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: With you next week to review all this, hopefully, amazing
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: week of football.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: And I think we've got some amazing games on tap
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Peace.
