• 0:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the first edition of sports and more with Michelle Garmin, gonna be talking about whatever Michelle wants to be talking about, whether it's sports or anything she'd like, mostly sports, but also some other stuff and also we've been to say probably mostly tipped in county, but not all, you know, probably if you say mostly high school stuff, but not all, we're gonna be talking about everything.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I always have some sports things I like that don't always involve high school, so.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we start with Tipped and Football, and Aaron told his season preview.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're interviewing with him for your season preview and coming up tomorrow on Thursday, we're gonna have our Franklin preview where I interviewed Aaron, so we're gonna start there and then we're gonna be talking some tips and try central Hamilton Heights, Franklin, Elwood, Alexander, Madison Grant, whatever you want, of course, IU, IU women's basketball, IU football, anything that you wanna talk about?
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're gonna be talking about.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what you're gonna be talking about with your guests and really looking forward to doing this Michelle.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: quick intro on the season preview here with air.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Talk to Erin actually before the very first official practice.
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just knew it was going to be easier to do that way and I'm going to tell you with the way Mother Nature was last week.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so glad that I did that with him and then Elwood's like football coach.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: I got that stuff done ahead of time.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I knew I could do it with him because knowing graduated, some key players, he was also returning some key players and so I knew he'd have a good idea and they really beat up their summer schedule, skirmish schedule, they did like Delta and they went places where they could do the big schools because the conference now is back down the
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: 18s.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they're playing everybody in the conference more as they'd been divisional, you know, two divisions the last few years, but since it's down to eight, which means they will be playing West Laugh yet, they will be playing twin legs, slogans port, plus they already weren't playing heights in western and that's formidable.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so Aaron said for us to be competitive in those and twin
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: They beat up their summer schedule and did a little didn't more an air and was really pleased with the percentage of turnout of kids and yeah, it's up.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm actually looking forward to seeing the blue bevels on Friday against the Eagles.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't get us permission neither to Frank didn't, but I'll be honest with you, Greg.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a fan of the skirmishes, I just usually go to take photos.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I remember when Ed, one of us to do stories on them, then I kind of had to do some stats or my face scored, you know, like a touchdown, but I've always thought that scrimmages are for the coaches.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: and the players, parents get a chance to watch their kids play.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: But as far as media is good for a few photos and maybe a comment of how the coaches thought the skirmish went, but that's it.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because everything scripted, the coaches are on the actual field with them.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have just their 40 seconds between adults.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: But anyway, so yeah, so it's great.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was a really good interview.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, here's Michelle's conversation with Tipton Coach, Aaron Tol, for his 23rd season as Tipton Head Coach.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Aaron, let's first talk about your, um, talk about summer.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: How did your summer go with the kids and everything?
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Probably one of the best summers we've ever had to be honest.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think our attendance has been outstanding.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've been over 75% at just about everything we've done.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've had more competition this summer than ever before.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: In June, we went to compete at South Adams against South Adams, Fort Wayne, Concordia, and Huntington North,
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: uh... we went to ball state seven on seven camp uh... we went to team camp here in july with uh... castle high school garen paramoridian and delta and then we also competed eleven eleven at the eastbrook in july so we had really four big competition days i feel really feel like we are probably way here way ahead of where we've been in the past
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Something for you, of course, I'm guessing that summer attendance and that kind of summer you've had has been big because Tipton is actually starting school earlier.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you're actually don't get those two days that you've been used to it.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've been limited for a while now, but I think this is the first year we don't have, we don't have any.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, so I mean, that's a big debate.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know what we're trying to do.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're doing the same amount of work.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're just spreading it out over.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: June and July, you know, there's also the kind of old school philosophy that's kind of nice to know, you know, as soon as August gets here, you have your team for two weeks and it's everybody coaching staff players, everybody's ultra focused, but just different ways.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think we've adapted to that and I think we've had a really productive summer for sure.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Does that with the school starting and and I know you go in and into that, you know, as you we do usually what metal middle to end of week to is when to a days of stuff, but not with them kind of being on school that first week or I guess you Thursday Friday or yes and you as a teacher being there has does that.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is that that's going to be kind of something new to for a little bit of focus because we're you're used to, they can go, pull off, they come in and look forward to football now.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're going to be a little bit, I should say more maybe mentally fatigued.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, I mean, we always kind of count on that first day of school that it's not going to be a good practice because kids just aren't used to getting up that early and they aren't used to being doing things all
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Our kids will adapt and, you know, it's that first week so we don't have, so we have another full week before we skirmish Peru, and then we have another full week before we would actually, with our home opener.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, um, our kids will adapt.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: What we'll, we'll, we'll figure it out and we'll get through it.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: How's that change practices from,
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: coachy standpoint and stuff are a little bit more because I know that a lot of times that you might have certain things you'd want to work on in the second practice.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: My big thing is, I mean, obviously, you know, we've been together three times a week all summer, the thing that, you know, everybody wants to worry about offense and everybody wants to worry about defense and the thing that gets put on the back burner is special teams.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's always my big thing that the first couple weeks in August and especially like when we would have two days there were times where we would have specific
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: only special teams practices.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: So those things kind of get put on the back burner.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think we need to, we're going to have to pay a little bit more attention to those in the one practice that we do that we are allowed to have.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, dog.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's a little different district is now with the, with the who's your conference being what back to like 18s.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then now you're playing a full who's your conference.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Johnny.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Schedules change a lot.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we've lost L-wood.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've lost from last year, we lost Rinsalir from last year, we lost Heritage from last year.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I picked up Manchester.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Logan's poor in West Sofia.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, schedule is very, very difficult.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a big reason if you look and see who we've competed against this summer, that was kind of the intent.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because I mean, if we want to be successful, we have to get used to playing against teams with larger rosters from bigger schools.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: We started doing that in a summertime, and it is, it's going to be a very daunting conference as well as sectional.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know Twin Lakes is very, very good.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Logan's Fort beat them last year.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say, stop the top of my head.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those are probably the two best in our conference.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then, sectional-wise, I think, Eastern's going to be good again.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Oak Hill has some guys coming back, as well as Lewis Cass, like through ourselves in that conversation.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think we're, I think we can be pretty good.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're pretty talented, but we're gonna have to earn it for sure.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know losing Elwood for you because a rivalry little hadn't, but it's probably for you.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually quite a good deal because when I was talking to their athletic director the other day and, you know, I did a story in their period about it.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're not sure they're even what their numbers are going to be for football right now.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: they're not sure they'll have to make it, they'll have a football season or be able to compete for our series, which at least that, but that being week two, you know you will have a win.
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know we have a game.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's, yeah, it's kind of sad because I mean that's a, that's a very, as you know, that's a very historical rivalry.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's the one that
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I grew up on and just used to having them on our schedules.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: But in hindsight, we were able to find Manchester, which isn't too awful far away, to play week two.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we are guaranteed a game and honestly, it's kind of nice to, if you want to put a positive spin on things, it's kind of nice to give somewhere you've never been before.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: So to play a different school stadium, those kind of things.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it is a little bit strange that I have no one on the schedule.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: So first day of practice is a week from today because we're talking on the 27th.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: How's the team health wise entering the season?
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're in pretty good shape, considering all that we've done this summer.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got one broken hand right now that hopefully, you know, is going to be healed sooner.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe three weeks.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully we have hand back by week one.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rather than that, we're pretty darn healthy and certainly want to keep that way.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, with.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, we have a roster of low 40s somewhere between 42 and 45.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: But for a school tipped in size as enrollment numbers have kind of dropped the years.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a good, that's, these are good numbers.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, I get asked that all the time, why don't we have as many kids playing football?
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, because we don't have as many kids.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: When we were in school in the 80s and the 90s, I mean, tipped in high school was 650, 660 kids.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we had a roster of about 65, that's 10%.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, now we're about 44, 44, 50.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we have 43, 44 on our roster, that's about 10%.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think percentage-wise, we have the same number of kids playing, we just don't.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: The pool is this not as big.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: How much is that experience going to be beneficial to you next week when you start, especially
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's like any year.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You always have to replace good seniors.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it never is easy.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like we've got some softwares.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are now juniors that got a lot of experience last year that hopefully can help fill in those voids.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we've got 13 or 14 starters back from last year.
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have a very small senior class this year, but we have a very big junior class and a very big freshman class.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, yeah, we lose some vital parts each and every year, but you know, I feel pretty comfortable, especially after the summer and seeing ourselves against other good programs that I think we're going to be able to fill those gaps and hopefully have a great fall.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for listening to the first addition of sports and beyond with Michelle Garmin.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Shell and I will be back on Thursday with a Tipton Franklin week one preview.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: As you go into camp, what are the Where are the hold, what are the positions or areas that you're going to be looking at to find starters or even depth?
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I think
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're probably ahead of our work.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: All fences ahead of defense right now.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, when you've graduated two hussies and a conduct and a springer in the last two years, that hurts your linebacker debt.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: So all summer long we've been
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got some moving parts, we're trying to mix and match and trying to find some guys Find guys where they're gonna play.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, those are always that that's a big hole.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got a fill.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're gonna be able to do it But Taking some work and then some depth in the secondary, but I think we have some strong points on defense I think our defensive ends are gonna be outstanding.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think our safety play could be really really good
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: been pleasantly surprised by our corner play.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's probably ahead of where I maybe I thought it would be.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: We feel a couple gaps on defense.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we can be extremely competitive against even against our schedule.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, often starts with your son.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Junior quarterback his third straight year.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tell me the improvements you've seen in Quinn from a standpoint as a coach and then even the standpoint of the maturity level you've seen in him as a father.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's one thing about Quinn is he's always been mature for his age, you know, extremely proud of him, but probably the thing that I'm most proud of was the way he handled being the starting quarterback as a freshman.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've been around this game for a long time and I, you know, he watched on the film.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't act like a freshman.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: You wouldn't have said, oh, that kid's a freshman just by watching the way he acted.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm super proud of that.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think the thing is, I mean,
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's been, he's been on, he's been on the, on the varsity for two years, but he's been around our program forever.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he knows.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's what makes it nice.
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: He knows exactly what I want when I want it.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: He knows exactly what Dustin wants offensively.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's done it for two years.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so when he can exude that confidence because he knows he's not learning he knows.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he can exude that confidence to the rest of the huddle.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that goes a long way.
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's had a good summer, and I think he's prepared himself, both in the white room and on the field to have a stellar junior year.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: one.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of like one of those because he's a three sport athlete that getting in the weight and time is probably the most well that that's a good time for him.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.
• 15:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean what coach Newton and I were kind of we got it to the point where most or we want all of our varsity athletes to lift during the school day.
• 15:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Four kids like Quinn or Jaren Aller or you know
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: They can't be there after school or the kids, the kids that have a job after school, you know, those kids were sliding through the cracks for a long time.
• 15:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we have a higher percentage of our kids lifting weights now than we ever have.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Much great.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's vital because you start talking about the teams that we play, that's what they're doing.
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: across the board, boys and girls, and to our administrators credit, they've bought into that and have put some emphasis on that.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think we're definitely moving in the right direction as far as our weightlifting program for both our boys and girls athletes.
• 15:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's quitters like, he's not the only offensive player that really produced for
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Dakota had an all-state junior year almost a thousand yards receiving and he's been lights out all summer.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's just he's he's a big receiver that will go up and battle for the ball.
• 16:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going he's he's going to be a problem for defenses and then
• 16:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: when he demands a bunch of attention, then that helps everybody else because the rest of our receiving core might be a little bit less experience, still think they're pretty talented, but they have less experience, but when he demands double coverage, which he's going to do sometimes.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then, you know, that helps your, your first, your starters out a little bit and helps Jerren out.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: It helps Parker cap show out where Zach Emberton or why it done.
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those guys can get acclimated a little bit because he's demanding so much attention.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Also helps the run game because
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're double-covering him, then they might have to take somebody out of the box to cover him.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, it makes the rest of our offense better.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But he's had a whale of a summer.
• 17:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to have a great, great senior year.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: My opinion, he's a north-all star.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's that good.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Zane Durham, running back.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was one of our three last year, but he's
• 17:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's had a phenomenal year training wise in the Ops season.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's six to 200 pounds.
• 17:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: A great track season set school record in the four by one.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the record was 30 some years old.
• 17:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a big strong kid, extremely coach.
• 17:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think he's going to have a really, really good fall.
• 17:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then our offensive line, I think, you know,
• 17:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nathan Hawkins has been, been, Nathan's been a mainstay for the last three years.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Does he take over a roach at left tackle?
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have moved him over to the left tackle.
• 17:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've gotten Mason Ticeback.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who moved, he was a move in or moved back last year and was injured so never took a snap.
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got Andrew Hawkins back.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a returning starter and then we've got a couple soft mors that were really, really pleased with right now in Owen Higginbath, them in Brendan Rees.
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then we've got two or three juniors that kind of sit behind them, maybe they're main focuses on defense, but they're fully capable of playing offensive and windy B.
• 18:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we've seen a lot of bright spots in summer.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know you talked about Garmin.
• 18:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: You will, nice thing is that when you put a, you put an number to it on the other side, that's, now you've got really fast kids on good speed.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you don't put them on the same side of the field.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, watch out.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really good speed and jaren is a big body that catches darn near everything.
• 18:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's, he's a really good possession receiver.
• 18:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know,
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: parker and Wyatt are kind of playing the same position right now and are both fully capable of catching the football and making plays through the air.
• 18:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think we could be a really difficult offense to defend if we get things rolling.
• 18:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: You say you're going to be really good at defensive ends, so if you get playing at your defensive ends.
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nathan Hawkins and Joey Bautal.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'll talk at a great year last year.
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: And kind of changed our defense a little bit.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: because of Joey Valtal, we're going to cut him loose and see how he wants to be aggressive, we're going to see how aggressive he can be.
• 19:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he gave a few, I'm sure there were a few quarterbacks that were dreaming about him.
• 19:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's the point.
• 19:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then Nathan's opposite of him, so those were our two defensive ends.
• 19:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And again, think they're going to give offensive line
• 19:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: secondary.
• 19:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know what your safety's are your quen and Dakota pointed Dakota.
• 19:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, also looking at Parker Cap Shaw there.
• 19:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, as well as a Lincoln Rotable and then a corner.
• 19:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, right now we've got Zach Amberton.
• 20:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: lead one to him, Teter, and the Hickatee, and why it done.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So those are kind of the eight kids that we're looking at.
• 20:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, they've gotten lots of reps of summer.
• 20:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we've got a pretty good idea of where we're at.
• 20:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: And what we're good at, what we need to work on, but think it could be a very productive secondary.
• 20:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: That linebacking core, who's got to try to step in to fill the hussies and the condoms and spring or shoes?
• 20:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think Brock Turner is going to get first.
• 20:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to get the first turn.
• 20:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: He'll be a junior and inside linebacker.
• 20:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've moved Zane Durham inside.
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of changed our defense a little bit.
• 20:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So right now, we're looking at Brock and Zane Durham inside as well as Logan like foot and Hunter Watson.
• 20:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then we're looking at that devil spot, which is kind of outside linebacker slash safety.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've got multiple candidates there.
• 20:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's really the position we got to figure out.
• 20:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that kind of be determined by Donald situation and the team you're facing.
• 21:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: It could run heavy team versus past Seventeen.
• 21:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where's Quinn gonna play?
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's the safety.
• 21:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where is he the outside linebacker?
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of that guy that can play both of those.
• 21:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Caden Cook, Lincoln Rotaball, all those kids need to be able to play those two positions on our defense.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's probably priority number one, in August, just kind of figuring out exactly where those kids are going to fit.
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't yet, and why haven't you, please go check out the Central Indiana Sports Group board, where we talk IU, Purdue, Pacers, Fever, Coltan, Indie Caron, a lot of other stuff too.
• 21:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And on Thursday we'll have our week one high school game previews.
• 21:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: You started to get excited, kids are starting to get excited for the season.
• 22:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so much different now, Michelle.
• 22:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I can remember, I don't know who I was talking to.
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a team camp.
• 22:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I can always remember, like, hey, August 1st is first official practice.
• 22:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I can remember when I was in high school, you know, it's three or four, five days out and you're setting your clothes out and you're packing your bag because you can't wait to get it so much different anymore, because I mean, because to a lot of those guys,
• 22:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel all that much different than what we've been doing, which is kind of sad.
• 22:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think because of what all the things that we've done in the summer, I think they're ready to they're going to be tired of practice and they're going to be ready to place people for real when start.
• 22:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, why are these things we go to in the summer?
• 22:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's somebody different color, but you don't keep score.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're ready to start keeping score a little bit wins and losses.
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: mean my dad asked me to this day or you know who's the biggest surprise I'm like
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: really aren't any surprises anymore because we're, I said, I've been with them for two months already, you know what I mean?
• 23:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's kind of sad that it's changed that much because it did.
• 23:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was, you know, when you reported the camp or reported for two days, you knew it was, it was game on and now it's just kind of just, all right, I think our mentality just changed.
• 23:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Did you lose any kids, gain any kids from the new one type of transfer role one?
• 23:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we've had a couple kids move here move in from try center.
• 23:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they both actually live in tipped in, but we're going to try central, but they're coming to school here now.
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't know if any that we've lost, um, at least football players.
• 23:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, well, that's what I was asking that one.
• 23:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Make sure you wrap.
• 23:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we've added a couple, um, I suppose that might be the biggest thing that could happen here, you know, the week leading up to school, um, could there be?
• 24:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, because what they have five days after school starts then I make that certain, which I don't get it.
• 24:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that you should have to have that decision made before the first day of practice.
• 24:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 24:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know, maybe we'll add a few more here.
• 24:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know corporation wide.
• 24:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've had a pretty good number of kids that are wanting to go to school here, like elementary middle school and high school.
• 24:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's an influx, but I don't know how many those kids are high school kids.
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we have out of the couple, I know.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: So different times.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Different times.
• 24:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've said this all along, you know your kids' best and I don't mind that you have school choice.
• 24:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now because you can't always, I know that was Suzanne when they would move with Abigail when they'd have to move military school study for schools and it was hard sometimes for them to find housing in the district that she knew was going to be best for best fed Abbey what Abigail needed and I'm like, I get that you can't find housing, I'm not
• 25:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm okay with school choice, especially when you center it like they centered it not to academics was more for I've got make sure they had, you know, classes.
• 25:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that's the majority of the people transfer.
• 25:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It isn't for academics.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Although I will say what they want, but I just don't think that it is.
• 25:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just, they would just stick to their guns in the one time.
• 25:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I get it because I said, I also got tired of that you see if seeing some kids get a broom and some kids not, you know, that a kid that didn't get approved, had a much better reason.
• 25:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: the kid who did.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the difference was the kid who didn't get approved.
• 25:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: It get approved wasn't the stud that this kid was.
• 25:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like they kind of removed themselves completely almost in the say do what you want.
• 25:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, the word I always come back to is loyalty.
• 25:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And
• 25:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think our kids have a lot of loyalty to our program.
• 25:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why we haven't had any leave.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I know, you know, stake when you look at it statewide.
• 26:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, we're losing, we're losing that word a little bit.
• 26:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's, that's kind of scary to me because it's not bad here.
• 26:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I know you go into Marion County or the counties that surround Marion County.
• 26:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's,
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, when you think about it, he wouldn't be for much, much on sales to gone over to Brownsburg to play with that quarterback and chart, you know, we see, I mean, run my gosh.
• 26:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I get it to an extent, but I, I hate when kids run from adversity because I think that's any kid that leaves a tracer and tour and I'll win a
• 26:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: not knowing if you're going to have a football team and not that's the right.
• 26:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's different.
• 26:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Lucy, be able to go because if that's what you want, that's what you shouldn't have to or be or be a junior senior, have to play a JV season because because that's not 100%.
• 26:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: I only think she's where I think you could hit her as far as she will.
• 27:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because if you have, okay, let's say that if you're as smart with the debt and have because
• 27:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you had had somebody like on Mikey Crawford, you know, or Derek Gelsson, we went, we had had cardio shifts that would have kept in here.
• 27:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they would put them at the BBA, but say you put him at a put somebody with that ability at a really small school that doesn't have any big towns or anything around it to do it.
• 27:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Then, oh, this.
• 27:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: My next school, like I said, Sheridan, does the Noble'sville or Zion'sville or Lebanon come knocking on the door and say, hey, come here, and it wouldn't, it can't be the school, but it could be the owner of a dealership with a general manager of business.
• 27:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I thought about coming down here, won't give you a break.
• 27:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: When you allow that to happen, they're gonna find ways.
• 27:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's what's scary.
• 27:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much to Coach Tolford joining us and for allowing me to record Tuesday's practice.
• 28:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also, thanks so much to Michelle looking forward to working with her even more.
