• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Chris Revard, Chris Batchelder, Craig Tate, our intern Tanner Yardley
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: is with us as well. It's zero week action across
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Northeast Oklahoma. We're going to pick all the ball games
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: in Osage, Washington, Nowata County, some beyond.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Guys, glad to be here. Back in with you for
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: another season. Really excited.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You don't seem too excited. That is true. He's mid-season
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: formed already by being annoyed by us.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: He needs some enthusiasm.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: You started this show with a chance. And who's Greg Tate?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: If you edit out that.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Side, there is no justice for the listeners.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Nighthawk. I forgot about it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And it's Nighthawk. It's Nighthawk.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Nighthawk. In the nine months, I forgot about it. Nighthawk.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I put that in the back of my mind. We've
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: got a lot of things that are the same, a
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: lot of things that are different. Before we get to
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: pick the ballgames, I will mention Bartlesville, Dewey, Pawhuska, Copan,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Caney Valley, Barnsdall, and South Coffeyville all going to play
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: this week. The only teams that really are kind of
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: our core, you know, 11 or 12 around here that
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: we talk about weekly that don't play are Nowad and
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma Union, and then, of course, Caney Valley, Kansas. They
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: don't even have the option of playing. Bullpups will start.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Next week, and then both those teams in Nowata County,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma Union and Nowata, both don't start until next week.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Those are both first-year head coaches and are really two
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of the three new head coaches in the area this fall.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And we can talk about that as we move along
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: or wait until next week to talk about Scott Martin
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: in Nowata, Josh Middleton at Oklahoma Union, but then Mark
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Fry in Pawhuska, certainly we'll touch on him when we
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: get to that Bahuska game we're going to preview but
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: outside of that oh and of course Bartlesville and Matt
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Hennessey I guess I put that one in the back
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: of my mind because Hennessey's been around but he's new
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: to Bartlesville but outside of that everyone else is going
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: to be back and excited for another season.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: Hey Evan let's talk about a few changes real quick
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: that we can update some of our listeners in the
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: offseason that happened some of the rule changes that they
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: may or may not see as well as some of
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: the OSSA changes so I know you talked about those
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: a little bit on the radio the other day so
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Touch on a few rule changes that you mentioned the
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: other day on the radio.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: You're talking about like X's and O's rules?
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about like there's no automatic first downs and
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: stuff like that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, some of that isn't changes.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, we went to a rules clinic that really
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: wanted to differentiate between what, you know, broadcasters at my
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: level might get wrong because they don't know that there
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: are– are some major differences between college and high school
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: rule changes. And probably the biggest one in my mind
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: always has been that personal fouls, pass interferences, penalties like
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that are just 15 yards and there's no automatic first down.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: And that seems to.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Come up like 10 times a year. You'd think, like, oh,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: 15 yards, it'll end up being a first down most
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: of the time anyway. Well, it didn't necessarily, depending upon
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: what's going on.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's a big rule change. That's a big rule change.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: That's going to change some drives.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: It could. It could. You're right. But then we had
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: a big one, all right? And it's another OSSAA, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: ridiculous thing that they did again.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Is they allowed some of these schools to get out
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: of the OSSAA.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: And so some of these people, and there's some of
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: these teams that are area schools and things like that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: and some of the schools that we are playing. So
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: whenever you go to these games, we may be playing,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Bartleville's going to play Enid this year, and Enid's not
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: in the OSSA. Enid is not in their district.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: That's not a rule change or anything the OSSA had
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: anything to allow.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Enid left.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, no. OSSA voted on it. Allowed them.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Some schools got to get out. Some schools did not.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: That's my problem.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you guys something that I learned about this.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to defend Enid. Enid is one of
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: only like 12 schools in the entire country that has
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: an international online program. So they have 300 students that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Are enrolled online.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: In this deal that hits their average daily enrollment, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: that's why they're 6A1, is because of this online school.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: And so they petitioned, could we not count the online school?
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: They'll never even step foot in Enid. Because they're at
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: the base, right? But they're part of this school that
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: we've got, and that affects, so that bumped them to 6A1,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: which is why they're losing 92 to nothing every night.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: My question is, what would they do in 6A2?
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I would love to have found out. So we're
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: going to get out of the OSSA, and then we're
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: going to go play a 6A2 school.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that was a late game addition, too, because they
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: were struggling.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: But they're also playing some 3A schools.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: And they also won the state tournament in baseball. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: they're really good in soccer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I've heard that the baseball program was one of the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: reasons why this has gotten sideways.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Well, then that's the athletic department. Oh, no, I agree.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: No, there's no question.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: And the problem is, why did Capitol Hill get out,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: but one of the other ones, Crooked Oak, has to
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: stay in? How do they pick and choose who gets
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: in and who gets out?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Well, think about it, though.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: U.S.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Grant, Capitol Hill, and those guys. I mean, they've just been.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: But not all of them got out.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: We're able to. They petitioned to get out, but they didn't.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: My issue with all of this isn't they don't want
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to play whatever. I mean, I think it should affect
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: other sports. I think that's how you disallow that is
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that if you're going to. If you're not going to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: play in one sport, then you shouldn't be able to
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: play in any sport.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: I agree. 100%.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So then you can't play for a state championship in baseball.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: 100%.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: That's my opinion.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But aside from that, if they don't want to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a part of it, that's fine. Why are we just
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: doing the six-team districts and leaving the classes?
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: That is why we made a mistake. Waddlesville's already made
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. Because we didn't want to bump up those
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: 5A schools. And because they felt bad about it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Well, guess what? There's going to be a line. It
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter where you draw it. Guess what?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: There's still a team in 6A2 that could be in 5A.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying? Somebody is going to be
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: 0-10 and go to the playoffs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: There's going to.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Be a team that is bumped up or down, regardless
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of where you set the number. So why are we
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: just saying, oh, well, they left late, so we're just
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: going to leave it at 16th.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're 0-10.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Let's go. Oh, I know it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And then coaches, good luck getting that other game.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Now we're going to have to get four games.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: No, five. That's where you lose me at.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: You have to have five non-district games.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: You don't lose me with any of them wanting to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: drop out or whatever, but you lose me with that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Because that makes no sense.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Speaking of losing, we've lost every listener. That's not true.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's too early for this. It's too early for this.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: They just grabbed a cup of coffee.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: They pulled up around.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, but let's talk about this. Guys, I'm telling you,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the next five years, high school football, OSSA has completely
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: let every high school.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Think about what's happening in UConn, and we're going to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: see them. They have a director of football operations. They've
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: got a general manager, and they are in charge of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the NIL. I know. And these Oklahoma City teams, I'm
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: telling you, it's going to switch. The power is going
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to switch over the next two to three years because
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of the NIL.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And some of these, what these kids are getting paid.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Listeners, listen to this. 17 years old, 16
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: years old are being recruited and paid to play high
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: school football. I know. How crazy is that?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Paid a lot.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's, I mean, it's, you know, a couple thousand
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: dollars a month. I know. Any door I've heard to $ 4, 500
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a month.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: High school football. Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: So, Barzill, listeners.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: How much do you think you would have got paid?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I probably would have.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, here we go.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: You would have got paid more than I got paid?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I would have.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. I was taller. Bigger program, bigger exposure.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Class of 85. It's so much better.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, now we have lost all of it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: I would have never saw it. My dad would have
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: took it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I would have got hundreds of pennies. All right, let's
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: get into the ball games. Week zero across the area.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: The first game we will cover is our Thursday night game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So we actually get going. We are recording this on
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: a Wednesday morning, so this will be tomorrow, Thursday. Dewey
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: is on the road at Bonita. We'll have that one
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: for you on KRig 104.9, krigtv.com at 7 o'clock on
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Thursday night. Bulldoggers coming off a 4-6 season in Scott
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Sepulpa's opening year.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: In Dewey.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Vanita went 1-9 last fall. Dewey and Vanita, a whole
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: lot of history. Vanita has won most of it. Dewey
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: only 4-19 against Vanita since 1999. Did not play the
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: last two years. Last time they played was in 2023.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Vanita is coached by Jake Tanner. Took over the program
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: in late October last year in the midst of that
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: 1-9 season. He had been a head coach at Wagner
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: in the early 2000s. He was an assistant at Vanita
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: last prior to that takeover date on October 25th. He's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: been with Veneta for six years. They've got eight guys
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: back in offense, nine guys on defense, so a big
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: returning bunch. Dewey's in 2A1 this fall. Veneta will be
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: in Class 3A. Bulldoggers lost nine pretty impactful seniors of
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: a big athletic class in 2025.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: For Dewey.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Braxton Braden, though, does return for his junior season at quarterback.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Dewey had a scrimmage earlier this month that was on Friday,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: beating Nowata in a half game, 28-0 at Bulldogger Stadium
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: in a game we had videoed on K1TV. com. Dewey at
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the Nita Thursday night at 7. Tim Howell, Brian McSweeney,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and Pop Tart on the call.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Rev, you been to see him?
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: I watched him on TV. Yeah, I watched him last
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Friday play Nowata.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Give us a rundown. Well, well, I guess we go
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: first and we're out of practice.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: That's been doing like this for years.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know what? Okay. Um, obviously I'm going to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: pick Dewey here. Uh, I believe in what coach is doing. Uh,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: we saw huge improvements last year. Now he's got his
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: second year boots on the ground. Um, didn't get to
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: watch him scrimmage last week. I was at the Brazil
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: scrimmage or half half game, but, um, Vanita, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's still going to be down a little bit. Um,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And I think this is a great week zero for Dewey,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and they're going to get the win.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: You know, this would be a huge way to start
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: the season for the Bulldoggers.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: And I'm with you.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: I love the return of Braden at quarterback. Coach Sepulpa's
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: the real deal. And I think Dewey's going to get
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: it on the road and have a huge boost for
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: early start to their season.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to talk about a couple things here.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: First off, Jake Tanner, little Jake. I coached with Jake
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Tanner in 1998 and 1999 at Wagner High School. I did,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: I swear. He was kind of a lay coach there, really.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: He was still in, just got into college. His daddy,
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Jake Senior, coached there, too. Rest in peace, Jake Tanner.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Now, Wagner or Bonita?
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Wagner High School.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: They're both Jay Bulldogs. Okay. Jay Bulldogs, graduated Jay. And
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Jake Tanner is as good as gold. This is Junior
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: sitting daddy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: And to get a daddy thrown out this early in
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: the show too, it's good. This sets the tone for
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: the season.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: His daddy is a legend.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Isn't everyone a Jay Bulldog?
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: I feel like I've heard that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Five times already. Oh, it's a Jay Bulldog.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Well, you're over on Vendetta, Grand Lake, but most of
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: them come from Jay. Yeah, that's right. Well, he's a
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: great kid. And he got thrown into the mix late
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: last year. I'm not sure what happened to the head coach.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I couldn't find, I looked it up and couldn't figure
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Um, And I see Jake a couple times throughout the
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: summer and talk to him, and he's excited about this year.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: I talked to him this summer, and he said his
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: kids are working hard. Last year he kind of got
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: thrown into the mix, and so he's excited this will
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: be his first year. And he's got some support. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: the quarterback, Carson Osborne, his daddy, his name's Clay, he's
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: also a coach there on staff. That's awesome. Yeah, he's
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: on staff there and has coached there for years, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: he played football at Veneta, played fullback, though, so I'm
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: a little surprised he's playing quarterback. So that's a little
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: bit about the Veneta Hornets.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: The Veneta Hornet program has been way down. Yeah. And
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: they're going to play at L.P. Williams Football Field. Many
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: of you know L.P. Williams, a great legend, Hall of
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Fame football coach there at Bonita. But the Dewey Bulldogs guys,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: they got some transfers, some move-ins, whatever you call them.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: What do you call them these days? Transfers, move-ins.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: They really don't move in.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: They just transfer. Okay.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Portals.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Transfer portals. Yeah, they got some new players in. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: these are skill players, and they're pretty good.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: And they're going to help out the Bulldogs. Now, they
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: may not have helped out larger programs around here, But
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: they can come to Dewey and they can help them out.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: And they're skill players. So that's what's exciting. I got
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: to watch the Bulldoggers play thanks to Evan and KVON
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: TV the other night. And, you know, I was impressed
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: with them. They're skill players. They can play. Up front, guys,
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: every high school in the nation anymore, it's, oh, we're,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: We've got to get better up front.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Well, of course.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Everybody. No one says our offensive line is really, really good.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Our skill players are terrible.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Broken Arrow is saying that right now
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: because I saw two of their linemen down at the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: scrimmages on Saturday.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Well, they're just good all the way around. There's not
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: just our line's good, our skill players are terrible. So
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: they don't say that. But they're going to get better.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: up front, and then to go along with those skill players.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: So I got really, really high expectations this year for
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: the Bulldogs. I've talked to Coach Sepulpa. He does as well.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: I think they're going to be very competitive in every
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: game and not get blown out, anything like that. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: I'm really excited for them. Now, this game against Bonita,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: I hope it's a great game because this has been
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: a longtime rival. Now we don't play no water, really,
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: but I hear that it is going to happen. The
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: game's coming back.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I've heard that before.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: It's coming back. Scott Martin, which he coached at Locust Grove.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: I played him whenever he was at Locust Grove. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: then he's now at no water. We'll talk about that
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: a little later. But he wants to play, too. And
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: they need to play.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: We've talked about that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: But the Veneta Hornets, it's the second oldest rival for
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Dewey Bulldoggers. Now, I'm going to tell you, Veneta Hornets,
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: they're going to run the spread, throw it around, all
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: that good stuff. Well, geez, I just talked about the
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: skill players at Dewey High School. That's where they're at
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: their best. You might be lining up and running the
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: football at them. You might be able to do that,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: but I don't think you're going to have a lot
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: of success. And Coach Sepulpa, his defense is really good
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: every year. He's going to bring heat everywhere, so I'm
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: going to give the victory to the Bulldoggers, and I'm
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: going to give it by 13 points.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Wow. Okay. That is– you were mid-season for them already.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: No kidding.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was really good.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Coach Reapard has some new– He's got some new glasses
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I like.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: How long have you had those?
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: They're smart guy glasses.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: You can buy them for $ 5. Or for $ 15.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: You look like you're about to introduce a new iPad
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe so. $ 15 for five.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: You know, doesn't he?
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: He's the last guy we need to introduce.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: The sixth generation of them. Guys, I can't see. I'm sorry, Evan. No,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: I was complimenting you.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to compliment, by the way, both
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: of your lower body wear today. You guys are both
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: wearing great pants.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Well, we talked about what we were going to wear
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: for the show tonight.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Peter Millars.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm in.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: PMs.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Just want the listeners to know everybody's looking great. I'm
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: really glad to be back with you guys.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: The air conditioner's kicked on. I was ready to get
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: that space heater out. It's cold in here.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: And just so our listeners know, mid-season four, meaning... Even
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Evan is wearing a hoodie. It's 122 degrees today.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: It's cold inside, though.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It is kind of getting chilly. Yeah, it is. It's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: blowing right off me.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I've got a space heater right down here. You want
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: to see it?
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: On with the show.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: I've got one more thing, though. If our listeners, if
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: you don't mind, get us some chairs to set in.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Maybe just set them all out front of the radio
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: station out here.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: If anybody owns a business where they're changing out the
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: chairs or something, this is unbelievable up here.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: You know, what's funny is between all of us in here.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: There is a business in town that changed out the chairs,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and we've got their old chairs that are nicer, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: they're in the shed just sitting there waiting for these
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: to finally break.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: What?
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Finally break. We'll go get them. They've been broke
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: for years. No, I'm not getting them.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: You get out of here with that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Nope. Kevin Potter, he'll go get them. Okay.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Well, they're sitting over there, but once that chair breaks,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: we'll go get it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: I love your Eskimo Joe socks.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Nope. Watch.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: There he goes. There he goes.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Oh. I believe this chair is broke.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: We need video.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: This has to be a video podcast.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Next game, South Coffeyville is at Life Christian Academy on
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Friday night. South Coffeyville's game, September 4th, that's next week,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: week one, called off. Lions had to pivot to get
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: their game against Life Christian Academy. on Friday, so they're
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: now off next week. South Cotterville, 17 returners off a
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: playoff team a year ago under Rich Geisen. They went
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: 4-7 last year, made their first playoff appearance in eight years,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: lost to Sasakwa in the first round of the Class
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: C playoffs, 37-14, so moderately close. South Coffeyville is in
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Class C3 this fall. And Life Christian Academy Eagles went
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: 5-5 last year. I'm glad I got to work this in.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Their last game was a 64-20 loss to Claremore Christian.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Oh, the Rocks!
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: First show! Week one!
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, guys, this is mid-season form.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: It's like Groundhog Day.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing every week.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: We should talk about their field. Do we know anything
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: about their field this year?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, it's out there behind the church right outside. Now,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: where is that?
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Guys, it's on the east side of the monkey bars.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: I'm taking South Cofferville.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Let's move on.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I'm actually taking Life Christian here.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. I think Life Christian is, you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: they were 5-5 last year. They've got... I don't think
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: they graduated many seniors from last year, and obviously South Coffeyville.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: South Coffeyville didn't graduate anybody.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: 17 guys back. 17 of the 22 back.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I'm taking it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Me too. I'm with you. I got South Coffeyville.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: All right, next ball game. Out-of-state game for the Copan Hornets.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: They're at New Heights Christian Academy in Joplin. Copan still
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: looking for its first playoff win since 2008. Copan, eight
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: wins again last fall. Did lose at home to Coyle.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: in the first round of those B2 playoffs, 42-18. Copan
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: loses four, in particular, big-time seniors in the class of
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: 2025 that really helped turn Copan football around. You look
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: at where Copan football is in 2026 versus 2021, you
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: can thank that big class of seniors and Marshall Foreman
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: for some of that. Copan is back in B-2-3 this fall.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Key seniors, captains Elijah Evans, Ashton Jeffers, Zane Strickland going
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: to be back at quarterback and safety. The New Heights
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Christian Academy Cougars went 1-9 last year. According to Trenton,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Kallenberger is back for a second season in Copan. That
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: New Heights football program is relatively new. Copan travels to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Joplin on Friday night.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: I'm taking the Hornets. Coach Kallenberger has been with that
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: program for so long and just seems to keep it rolling.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: And I have no reason to think they won't again
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: this season. Strickland is a good quarterback. Remember, his numbers
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: last year were just fantastic.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: So I'm riding them. I got them.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Coban's done a good job building their program. And it
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: all started several years ago with the big group. I
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: think they were sophomores at the time. Maybe they graduated
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: last year.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Last year.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Kane. Yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: When Kane was there. They all played as freshmen, yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: But then they got kids to come out behind them,
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: and that's how it all starts. And they've done a
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: great job building up their program. So, you know, they're
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: going to go over to Joplin and win this game.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: I'm excited for Copan this year. Me too. I really am.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to go Copan too. And it's a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: numbers game. And he's got great numbers. For Copan, I think, what,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: 22 kids out?
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: It's 24 now.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: 24 kids. That's outstanding. It is. And, you know, Copan's
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: been rolling for the last three or four years. Even
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: though they did graduate a heavy senior group that were contributors,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: they also had a lot of younger kids playing last year. So, yep,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: coach is doing a great job up there. I'm going Copan.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Great.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Next ball game, our first game we'll have on the
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: radio this weekend, Barnsdall at Caney, well, outside of Dewey,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Barnsdall at Caney Valley. That is our 100.1 KYFM game
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: of the week. We'll have the video broadcast down in
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Ramona on K1TV. com as well. Second straight year, Barnsdall and
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Caney Valley playing one another on zero week. Barnsdall won
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: this game last year, 36-8. Panthers coming off a 6-4
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: season but did miss out on the playoffs. Kylie Sweeney,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the dean of coaches in our area, back for his
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: 11th season. Barnstall, 14 seniors.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: On the roster.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Most of those guys are skill guys. Caney Valley, though,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: 35 guys on the roster this fall to begin the year.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: That's about 15 more than they ended last season with.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: They went 0-10 last year. Derek Hammer is back for
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: a second season. I'll mention the last time Caney Valley
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: beat a varsity football team was September 9th of 2022.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: We talked about independence. Caney Valley is is independent this fall.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: They're not playing in the OSSAA this year or next.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: That means no district for them. They had to put
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: together their own schedule. Barnsdall is one of the teams
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: they plucked. And, of course, the Panthers are still 11-man football,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: one of the smaller 11-man programs in the state in
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Class A-2 District 4. Barnsdall in Ramona, taking on Caney
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Valley on KYFMK1TV. com. It'll be Chase Almey and Dasha Kianitsa
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: on the call on Friday night.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Guys, I'll go first because I'll make it quick. But,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: you know, you guys talked about everybody says that our
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: offensive line, you know, we need bigger. We need to
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: get bigger up front.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Square bells need to go back to square bay.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you one thing that I have
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: kind of seen hold true is teams with a whole
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: bunch of seniors usually are pretty good. And this– group
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: over in Barnsdall that's coming back for this season has
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: kind of seen the ups and downs of that team
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: and injuries, and it's a solid group of seniors. So
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I'm taking Barnsdall, and I'm guessing they're going to have
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: a really good season just based on that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. Coach Sweeney obviously does a
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: tremendous job out there with 14 seniors back. Just to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: put that in perspective, last year, Barnesville had seven seniors?
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Eight seniors on the roster. So that's a 6A2 program
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: compared to one of the smaller 11-man football teams at Barnesville.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: So when he's done a great job, 14 seniors, I'm
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: excited for their season. I will give Coach Hammer a
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: lot of credit because last year, they had 20, 21
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: kids on the roster. It was a very tough year
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: for Caney Valley in the offseason. And it it's easy
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: to go in the hallways and get kids to come
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: out when you go 7-3, 8-2. Right. So think about
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: what Coach Hammer did. Literally almost doubled his team after
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: an 0-10. So that tells me that he's a great leader.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: He's doing the right things down in Caney Valley. And
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: now that they're independent, they can control their whole schedule,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and now they can get some wins. But unfortunately, it's
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: just not going to happen this week. Well, we've been
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: saying this for years, guys, and both of you talked
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: about it. Kyle Sweeney does an incredible job. And Barnstall
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: is very fortunate to have him as long as they've had. Agreed.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: You know, if I was an athletic director, looked at
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: another school somewhere, I would definitely be looking at him
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: because he's a good one.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ospa Husker, that's the first guy I would have called. Absolutely, 100%.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Because he does an incredible job. And now he's got
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: 14 seniors, and most of them are skilled players. They're
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: going to have a great season this year.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: They play hominy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Is that right? Are they in the same district as Harmony?
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: They may be.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I'd have to look it up.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: It seems like they are, that they're in the same district. Well,
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: I hope they beat them Bucs this year.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I was actually going to put the district sheets on there,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: but I forgot to do that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I hope they beat them. I'm sorry. It's the first week. Yeah,
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: no big deal. We forgive you.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: We find your laptops.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: But I'll take the Panthers.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'll take the Panthers.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Afton, Hominy, Fairland, Ketchum, Oklahoma Union, Quapaw, Woodland. That's all
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: that same A24.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: That's not an easy district either.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Year in, year out.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: That is a tough district. So I look for great
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: things for the Panthers this year.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: KYFM, K1TV. com, Barnsdall at Caney Valley on Friday night. Bahuska
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: at home against Fairland. We'll have that one for you.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Ty Loftus on the call. Sports Talk, 99.1 FM, KPGM, KPGMTV.com.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Kind of a wild few months for Pawhuska. Matt Hennessey,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: of course, left for Bartlesville back in December. But the
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Huskies have had two coaches since then. Brandon Guipe, who
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: they tapped to take over for Matt Hennessey, resigned this
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: summer due to personal and professional factors. So Mark Fry,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: who was a longtime Pawhuska assistant, he's been there for
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: more than 20 years. has taken over for head coach.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Even with that coaching change, still a lot of continuity
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: on the staff. Craig Walker, Jason Snodgrass, Michael Houghton, all
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: guys that have been around along with Coach Fry in
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Pawhuska for a minimum four or five years.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Most of those guys longer than that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: And they've still got some key returners off a bunch
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: that went 11-2 and were in the semifinals last year.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Jensen Snodgrass, Jaden Spicer, headline six total returners. Huskies lost
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: in the A semifinals last year. 42-34 to Rejoice Christian.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: They're back in A1 District 3. Recent matchups with Fairland
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: have all gone to the Huska. Beat them 61-12 in 2021.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: And how about a 92-0 win for the Huskies and
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: for Fairland back in 2020. Fairland did graduate 15 guys
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: off a club that won 10 games last fall.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Went 10-3.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: They lost to Talahina in the A2 Semifinals. Travis Rattigan
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: is the first-year head coach for Fairland. They visit Pawhuska
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Friday night on KPGM and KPGMTV.com.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the Huskies all the way. I'm excited about
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: Pawhuska football this season. That was a weird offseason. And
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: I'm glad they kind of got the... got the ship
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: righted and and have a staff over there that they're
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: excited about and confident in now it's good to keep
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: some of those guys around and i'm glad that that
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: that's who they promoted to that position so yeah i
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: got i got the huskies and um again jensen snodgrass
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: is just such a great football name so.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: I'm in.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah i you know obviously they had a um um
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: eventful offseason with their head coach. Obviously, Hennessy did a
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: great job over the last five or six years there
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: building a program back up. And then to go through
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: a couple head coaches since then during the offseason. But
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the good news is a lot of those coaches are
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: still there. Everything, the kids are still there. You know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: so I am picking Bosca. I will say this. It's
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: going to be interesting to see what kind of team
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: comes out because we know kind of the culture that
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Coach Hennessy developed over there. I always look for what
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: kind of culture. Obviously, the new head coach is going
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: to have his own culture, his own philosophies and everything.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: So they're going to be– I'm very interested to watch
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: them this year. But I am going Pawhuska this week.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Well, guys, Pawhuska is very, very fortunate because the best
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: thing that happened to them is they lost the coach
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: that followed Matt Hennessey. Yep. All right, because everybody knows–
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: You never follow a legend because the next guy is
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: guaranteed to get fired. It's going to happen. Now, fortunately,
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: it only lasted a month. He's gone. The formula followed.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know what happened, but he's not there no more.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: So it's perfect.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: It happened in the summertime. Early.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was early.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: But then they hired Kyle Fry. Guys, Kyle Fry has
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: been in this business for years, and he is an
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: incredible football coach. Yeah. He's been over there for 20 years,
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: and he was one of Madison. Mark Fry?
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Mark Fry.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Mark Fry.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: But he's been over there for years. Yeah. And he
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: was one of Hennessy's guys. So this is a perfect
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: situation for them.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: Everything worked out perfect for them. There's not a lot
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: going to change between– You know, when Coach Hennessy was
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: there and now Coach Fry's there. But Coach Fry's just
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: there for a year, guys. If I'm not mistaken, he said,
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: I'm just here for a year. I'm going to fill
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: in for one year. And that's fine because he's got
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: a good group coming back. Lost some of them. That's okay.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: He's going to add some more. They're going to be fine.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Pawhuska's going to be Pawhuska. And they're very fortunate to
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: have Coach Fry. So I've got Pawhuska beating the Owls.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: This game's probably not going to be close. It's at Pawhuska.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Is that what you said, Evan? Yes. Okay. They're going
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: to go over to the beach.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: They're going to run on the field just like they
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: did with Coach Hennessey. They're going to run off. They're
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: going to do everything right. So they know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: KPGMTV.com.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Yep. K1TV. com. Same thing.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Pawhuska and Fairland.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, good.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Great.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: I like how Brevard always acts like he's surprised.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: We'll ask you what time the show airs, too.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Every Pawhuska game has been on KPGM for seven straight years.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: And he's like, oh, man, I can't believe it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't even know what you guys are playing
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: stuff on. I can't believe that that's on there. Well,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: here's the thing. It's been on the radio every year
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: for like 30 straight years.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Well, you've got to give him a chance.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: To introduce the new iPad with his glasses.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Guys, I'm telling you right now. This radio station and
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: TV station, whatever you got now, has ruined me going
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: to games.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: In person. Yes.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Last Friday night, I was going to come watch the Bruins,
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: and then Evan said, well, it's on TV.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what happened. You fell into your swimming pool.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: And then you couldn't get out of it, could you?
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: I was on Sunday, and I didn't fall. And then
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I said, is Dewey on TV, too? He's like, yep.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: I was like, you mean I can turn both of
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: them on and sit in the swimming pool and watch both?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: See you guys next week.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: So Bartlesville's at home against Skyatook.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: That'll be on K1, K1TV. com, Friday night, myself and Kyle Poole.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Skyatook Bulldogs 4A program. First time Bartlesville has played a
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: sub 5A team since the Bruins had that four-year run
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: against Casha Hall from 2013 till 2017. Sky took in 4A,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: and they've gotten better. They went from 1-9 three years
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: ago to 3-7 two years ago to 5-5 last fall.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: This is their third year now under Preston Pearson, and
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Bartlesville has beaten Sky. It took three out of the
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: four times they've played them. They have some pretty extensive history,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: played four years in a row from 2010 to until
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: 2013 they've got about five or six guys back on
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: each side of the football sky took was one of
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: the three teams the bruins hosted into their scrimmage on
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: uh friday and sky took played midwest city who's been
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: a pretty poor 6a program pretty tough i don't remember
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: the final score of that half game but it was
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: tied yeah it was within one it was tied yeah
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: so it made that that makes sense so They were
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: right neck and neck with Midwest City. They actually started
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: out really hot last year. Sky took dead wins over Glenpool, Memorial,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Nathan Hale, Catoosa, and Miami, and then lost four in
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: a row, some of them pretty close, to Fort Gibson, Oolaga, Wagner,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: and Grove down the stretch and ended up missing the playoffs.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: And they got Bartlesville this week and then at home
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: against Glenpool their first two weeks. Obviously, as we mentioned,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: it's Matt Hennessey's first ballgame In Bartlesville, after eight seasons
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: in Pawhuska and took them to the state semifinals multiple
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: times and all those accolades, he comes to Custer Stadium,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: replacing former head coach Harry Wright. and it'll be his
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: first ballgame against Skytook on Friday night on K1 at K1TV. com.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: And a pretty good mix of returners, guys. Obviously, we
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: watched them on Friday. A lot of names you'll recognize.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Certainly headlined by quarterback Michael Kent, but basically the whole
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: offensive line is back. Like, I think four of the
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: five starters from last year are in their same spots.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: A year older, a little bit bigger.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: And then you've got some other key guys back, Bowdoin Roberts,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: who Coach Hennessey calls the Bruins' best quarterback. football player,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: all-around football player, which I think I agree with.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: He's a big one.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Wyatt Mathis, another guy, and then some other guys in
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: the secondary like Matthew Sears and Gavin Thomas, and I'm
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: going to miss some, so I'll probably shut up. But
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: those are a few of the guys that you would
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: have heard last year that will be back playing a
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: pretty big factor for the Bruins this fall.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: But most critically, you may want to touch on the
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: two new skill receivers that moved in to Bartlesville.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Because, to me.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: That is exactly what is going to change. And Coach
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Hennessey's style is exactly what is going to change Bruin
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: offensive football. And I think it's going to change the
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: whole approach Michael Kent takes to the game. Because pretty
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: much last year, Michael Kent got the ball in his hands,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: and if he wasn't handing it off, he was taking
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: it off. There was no time. It was get that ball,
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: and those guys are there. So he had to move.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: And so with the, and I could tell some improvement
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: in the offensive line, even just from a size standpoint.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: What Coach Hennessy did in the offseason with these guys
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: is remarkable. There's a kid, Sanji Keteku, who ran some
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: running back in the first scrimmage part, not the half game,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: but in the scrimmage part. And that kid has thickened
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: up and is running tough. And so you can just
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: see it in these guys. And They've bought into Coach
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Hennessey's system. They're excited about Bruin football. I mean, it
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: just feels like a whole new... And I told you
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: guys I wasn't going to go on and on about
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: Coach Hennessey, but I will just say the program that
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: he has established is remarkable from the top down. And
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: we're talking down to the ball boys. And the way
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: he's telling them to go about their business, the way
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: they're going to dress, the way... I mean, the whole
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: approach is really impressive. And I think we're going to
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: see a different brand of Bruin football out on the field.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: And these two receivers are legit. And you add that to,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: like Evan mentioned, Wyatt Mathis is a lot bigger, and
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: he's a good option in the backfield. And he'll be
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: a great blocking option. I'm excited about it. And, I mean,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: I think the Bruins will smoke Skytook. I would have
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: told you that anyway, but I really do think that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: And I'll tell you, I saw a lot of improvement
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: on defense. We couldn't tell a lot the other night.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: For one thing, Sky took and Barnesville were both kind
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: of hiding some stuff because they play each other next week. Yeah,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: they didn't show a lot last week. But for some reason, Evan,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: I know you were watching the same as me. They're
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: starting running back number 20. Got hurt three times. They
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: had to carry that kid off the field in this scrimmage.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Why would you do that? I heard he's not playing
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: this week. Yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the message we're getting too.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I don't understand why they kept sending that kid out there. Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: They had to carry him off the field in a scrimmage.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: That's crazy. So I didn't understand that at all. I
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: got Bruins big. I'll shut up.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You're welcome.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: You're welcome. Well, Coach Hennessey is what Coach Hennessey, exactly
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: what we thought he was going to be.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's going to come in and he's going
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: to build this program. He's going to peel it down
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: to nothing and start from the bottom and go up,
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: and he's going to do it very quickly. And he
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: did it starting with his staff. Can we talk just
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: a minute about the staff that he's got?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Good gravy.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: We can't name them all because we've only got an hour.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Hall of Fame quarterback at North Texas. You know, Jason Purtle,
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: his receiver at North Texas and high school, both of
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: them played Lopes Grove together for Coach Hennessy. Eric Stryker, geez.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: I know. Everybody knows Eric. University of Oklahoma, he's there
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: with him. He brought his D.C. from Pawhuska. I'm sorry,
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: I don't know his name. Crane. Crane, yeah. Incredible.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, geez. Offensive line coach. Yes. You just go
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: down the list. It's impressive.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of the staff that he put together. So they
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: are going to be well coached. And I think the
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: biggest thing for me watching them the other night was, geez,
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: those kids have gotten big. Yeah. I mean, very big. And,
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: you know, they practice at 530 in the mornings. And, geez,
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: he's got it going. He really does. He's got it going. Now,
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: on the field, Mason Fine is going to run that
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: offense like no other offensive coordinator at Bardsville High School
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: has ever ran. I mean, he's going to know exactly
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: what to do with his personnel. And he's going to
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: know how good they are and what their strengths and
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: weaknesses are, and he's going to build on that. So
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: I've got 100% confidence in him. And I'm not talking
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: about just this year. I'm talking about the next several years, guys,
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: because they're going to be good.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: We'll keep him.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: You'll keep him.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Mason fine? Oh, yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: We'll have a side. I mean, I hope we do.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: That's fine.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: He's a stud.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: He is.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: He's good.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: He's good. He's good. But the staff, to Coach Hennessy,
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: kudos to not just Coach Hennessy, but Barnesville High School
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: for committing. And everybody in the community for committing to, hey,
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: let's build this thing. Let's do it and do it right. Now,
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: this week, obviously playing Sky Tuke. I'm with Batch. It's
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: not even going to be close. I mean, Sky Tuke
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: is– they're going to struggle this season. They really are.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: CP is going to love hearing him say that, right?
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, CP. She's not. But they're going to struggle.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: She's not going to like it, Reb.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: Well, they shouldn't be biting off Bartlesville. And they're biting
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: them off at the wrong time. Week one at Bartlesville,
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: horrible with Hennessy coming. I mean, that's just a bad time.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Stands are going to be packed.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: Exactly. It's like, did anybody in this room not know
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: the first play the other night? I know. I mean,
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: when they got the ball. I sat in there with
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: my son and Jennifer, and I said, this ball's going deep. Yeah,
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: that's exactly right. It's going deep. 100%. And everything worked
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: out perfect. He caught it. Next play, inside zone touchdown.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: So, I mean, that worked out perfect for the season, but.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Bruins are going to have a great season. I'm excited.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: We're excited to watch them. Our area football teams are
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: going to have a great season.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I think so, too.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty excited. I'll turn it over to the legend,
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: the Bruin legend, Nighthawk.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Hawk.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Hawk.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: He did say Skytook.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Skytook. I know.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: I know. Yeah.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I still say Skytook. Yeah. And I get corrected every
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: time by my wife. But first of all, I want
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: to talk about Skytook a little bit. Coach Pearson, I
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: have a lot of respect for Pearson when I was
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: coaching at Bartlesville. He was the OC down at Union.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: We had some real battles against each other, obviously me
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: being on the defensive side. His son was the same
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: age as my oldest son, Mitch, so I got to
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: play against little Pearson that went to Air Force for
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: five years in youth football. He's going to do a
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: good job, this guy took. They're going to be better
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: than what they were last year. They've got a Division
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I offensive line kid, probably one of the best offensive
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: linemen in the state, goes about 6'4, about 280.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: He is a monster.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's got great feet. I mean, I don't know.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: You probably didn't know, well, I'm sure you did, but
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: his length on his arms, he's 6'4, I guarantee it,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: his arm length measures probably 32, 33 inches, which would
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: put him at a 6'7, 6'8, length-wise. Boy, he gets
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: locked out. He's got great feet, too. I know that
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: the rumor is the tailback, starting tailback, is not going
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: to play this week, but there's another kid by the
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: last name of Fudge. And I know his little brother
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: because that's the kid that always beats us in youth
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: football right now. His little brother's a stud. His dad,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: his older brother, the one that we'll probably see a
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: lot of, I think ran for 600, 700 yards last year.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Tough kid. I know his dad really well. Louisiana guy.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: They're just tough, tough kids. But you'll love the way
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: that kid, he's still young. I think he's only a sophomore.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: But he's going to be fun to watch. However, let's
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: flip it over to the Barzill side to reiterate what
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Coach Rev said. Let's talk about numbers. I always talk
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: about numbers. Last year, we had, what, at the end
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: of the season, 37, 38 kids on the sideline. Did
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: you see the team picture that Marsville football took? It
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: looked like a real football team. I mean, it was
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: in the middle stands.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: It took up the whole blue seats.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: The whole blue seats. I think Cody Meade, Coach Meade,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: told me that they took pictures of 88 kids. Think
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: I talked about what Caney Valley's done. Went from 20
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: to 34. Hennessy's taken this thing from 36 in the offseason.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: I know. And we haven't been a winning program, and
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: now we're in the 80s. That's huge. Numbers are going
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: to be big. We're going to be at the 90
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to 100 kids on that sideline over the next couple years. Secondly,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: can we talk about how that sideline was what was
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: going on last week, last Friday?
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: You talk about organization. Everyone had a role, and you
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: can tell the expectations are set. This is how we're
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: going to handle ourselves, not only as players, coaches, water girls,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: because they got yelled at, and ball boy and training staff.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Everybody had a job, and there was coaching that was happening.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I loved it because when the defense would come off,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: the defensive coaches would grab them. They'd get broken up.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: They'd look at film. They're coaching live, which is not
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: something we've seen over the last three or four years.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: So I love that aspect. Let's talk about his assistants.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: The coaching staff that he has on that sideline. There's
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: two Division I All-Americans, one Hall of Famer, one, I
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: guarantee it, future Hall of Famer at the University of Oklahoma.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: If you go to an OU game this weekend, you'll
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: see Eric Stryker's section. Mason Fine, Purtle, Crane, Stryker. I mean,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: you can just go down the list. These are big-time coaches.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Mason Fine, and you know I'm a defensive guy. I've
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: never gotten along with offensive coordinators. It's always been a joke.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I could just be honest. Defensive ends have the mentality.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I coach them as we hate quarterbacks, we hate offense.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Mason Fine is the most intense offensive coordinator, quarterback coach
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: that I've ever seen. And how lucky is Michael Kent
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: to have him? I agree. as his quarterback coach. Because
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: to be honest, we've talked about it. I've talked to
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: several quarterbacks that have watched Michael Kent. He's been raw
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: the last couple years. You're not going to find a
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: better quarterback coach, I'll say, in the country right now
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: in high school football than what we have with Mason Fine.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: And they're built alike. They play the game alike. They
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: have the same mentality, 100%. I looked at Mitch on
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: the sideline last Friday. I said, this ball's going deep.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Sure enough, boop. I mean, turnover, first play, go deep.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: You look at the receivers, they're outrunning. Offensive line, 10
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: times better than what we've seen over the last couple
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: years from a technique standpoint. They're still small, right? We
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: still got some sophomores that are sprinkled in there, but
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: they're bigger than what they were last year. The defense,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: if you look at those linebackers and the defensive line,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: we're going to be small up front, but if you
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: look on every play, they're moving them, which is what
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: you have to do. Technique's going to get better when
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: they're moving gaps, but they're blitzing a lot. At least
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: they're bringing one or two every time. I'm excited to see.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to Hennessy, the culture. I talked to him
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: last night. He knows it's a big game. He knows
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: the first three games are big. And I'm telling you,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I asked him last night, how much sleep are you
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: going to.
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: Get this week?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: He said, not very much. This is a huge game.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Because you come in, you change culture. He's got a
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: lot of buy-in from the kids. They go out and
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: do what I think they're going to do, which is, 28,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: 21 points, maybe 35, but I don't think it's going
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: to be a close game with Skytook. The buy-in happens
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: with every win. Think about this. Look at the schedule.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I'm predicting right now they're going to go 4-0. They're
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: going to go through the three. Claremore's the toughest team. Collinsville, obviously,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: we haven't beat in a while, but I think we
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: get wins versus those three. We're going to beat Enid.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: We're going to be 4-0, and here comes UConn. Now, UConn,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: is a different animal. They're going to be a great
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: football team with some great athletes that come in. I
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: know it's one week at a time. But what happens,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I told Hennessy last night, I said, you know what,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: if you go 4-0, I'm telling you, there might be
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: a statue downtown of you. But they're excited. You could
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: see it with the energy. I just love what I'm seeing. Obviously,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: I'm an old school football coach. There's only one way
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: to do things, and you control what you can control,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: which is outwork. But the other thing, did you see
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: when that number 11 When he jumped off sides that
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: one time, how quick he got yanked.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, man.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Didn't get yelled at, got coached up, and then put
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: him back in, and then he caught a touchdown. I know.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: So that's the thing. The discipline of the team is
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: going to be different. There was a celebration during one
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: of the scrimmage parts. That got shut down real quick.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know that the publications kind of wrote
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: about it, but the ball boys even got yelled at.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: And the whole stadium heard it last night.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: The ball boys had, number one, they had to apply
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: to be a ball boy, and number two, they had
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: to go through summer pride.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm in. So, you know, I think, Bartlesville,
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: if you're listening, I know you're listening because this is
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: the most popular podcast in Washington County. Go out and
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: watch the Bruins. It's going to be a gorgeous night.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: It's going to be packed. You're going to see a
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: new era of Barsville football. And I promise you this,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a football team and a product
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: that you're proud of. So with that being said, Barsville
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: by a bunch.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you one more thing about Coach Hennessy that
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: he has done just a masterful job of. He has
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: absolutely won this entire community.
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: Yes, he's everywhere.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: This entire community is excited and behind him. He has
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: done a marvelous job. of winning the public.
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: And I'm with you.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: I think we're going to see more people at that
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: stadium Friday night than we've seen in a really long time.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Really long time.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: I'm excited about it.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, don't stay home and watch it on TV.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Record it. You can watch it later.
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: It'll be available for streaming any time later.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Matt Hennessey, now that I've gotten to know him over
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: the last year, is as advertised. I know. I'll tell
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: you that because exactly what you said, Batch, he's everywhere
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: in the community selling the program. Not only selling his program.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: He's selling all the programs for Barsville High School.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: You're exactly right.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is volleyball. He talks volleyball. He talks band.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: He talks baseball. He talks basketball. It's unbelievable how passionate
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: he is about Barsville sports and about the program.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: It's funny that you say that about the band. So
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: you're going to see a whole bunch of different stuff pregame.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: And he works real closely with Chris Kane, who leads
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: the Brewing Brigade on all that. They're buddies, and they're
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: coordinating all this stuff. And one of the biggest changes
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: he made that bought me is the team is going
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: to be on the field for the National Anthem on
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: the goal line.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah. the team should be out there for that.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: And I love it.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Amen. Amen. Yeah. You know, the other thing, Matt, you
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: probably didn't notice this, and you were obviously at home
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: in your pool. The energy down on the sideline, not
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: from the 30 to the 30. I'm talking, did you
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: see them? cheerleading coach and the cheerleaders and the Palm,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: the cheerleading coach was, I mean, he was fired up.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: He was fired up. I mean, it was unbelievable. It
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: was a great turnout and, uh, boy, I'm excited. Me too.

  Speaker 2: That's right. No one asked about Barswell White six.
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: Weeks this year.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: No, we need to know. We do need to know.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: This is a big deal.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: Got some new recruits.
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: This is our last year to coach these guys.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're stacked. We're stacked.
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. We got some move-ins. We got some kids
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: that went through puberty.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: So do we have some squeaky voices?
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we obviously went down the broken arrow last week
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: and scrimmaged. And I'm telling you, I went into it
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: because we got a bunch of kids. We got more kids.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: We got 27 kids total last year. Last year we
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: had 19. So obviously everyone gets playing time. But it's great,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: these kids. I got a 240-pound, listen to this, a
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: 240-pound offensive line.
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: No way.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're bigger. Sixth grader? Yes. And he can move
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: a little bit. It's Coach Cole's grandson.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: You're kidding me.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: He's been calling them square bells.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Square bells.
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: No doubt.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: So we had a move in. The Durant family moved
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: back in. Aaron Durant and Lindsey, you know, has been
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: down in Tahlequah. Aaron was one of our great running
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: backs that I was on the staff when he was
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: here back in 2006, 7, 8. Great running back. And
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: let me tell you, his son, Cambry. He's a great addition,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: great kid, but he's a junior Olympian track star. Oh, awesome.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: And he's a great running back as well, so great kid. But,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: you know, I could just– I mean, there are some kids,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Alex Garris, Bryson Dorsey. Bryson Dorsey is– boy, you talk
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: about– this is what is great about coaching youth football,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: how these kids develop so quickly. Dorsey over the– grew
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: another four inches. He's fast as– I'm telling you, out
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: of all the teams we played, out of all the
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: teams I watched, We've got two kids that are faster
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: than them. I had a coach come up because we've
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: got six running backs. Like, some of the kids have
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: been our stalwart.
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: One of the coaches came up and said, yeah, wing T.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: One of the coaches came over and said, you know,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: your number four, five, and six would be that are
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: sitting over there. They're still getting reps, obviously.
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're rotating them. But he goes, they'd be
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: our best players.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: That's the case. That ball goes in the air more
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: than five times.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: Then you need to be fired.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: No, they catch. They catch, too, so we've got them
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: going everywhere. Oh, yeah. We're going to H-outs, Texas routes,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: all short, short stuff because Gunner, obviously. But anyway, we
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: play at 1 o'clock here in Barsville versus Broken Arrow,
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: and I'll be disappointed if we don't take care of
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: business by three or four touchdowns.
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: That's awesome.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: Who'd you say you play?

  Speaker 2: Broken Arrow.
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: Broken Arrow. Hey, Nighthawk, that's one more thing about the
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: Big Bruins. They are going to have to be in
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: really good shape with Mason Fine because they are quick
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: to the ball.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: You see how quick they go?
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: They barely get the ball set, and they're moving.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is wild.
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Those offensive linemen are going to be gassed.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: I think Hennessy told me team script during practice, 25
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: plays in 15 minutes. Oh, man. I mean, just go
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: right through it. Tempo.
