WEEK 3 REVIEW: CBC Out-Guns De Smet, St. Mary's Dramatic Win, SLUH hangs on, Troy routs Hannibal, Pattonville remains unbeaten · Gateway Sports Venue Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show. I'm John.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: He's Roman. This is the Week 3 review. And we
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: are starting with a game that was on a lot
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of people's minds going into it because it's always a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: big game every year when they play. CBC versus the Smet.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We're just going to get right into it. The Cadets
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: still reign over the Spartans with a 59-48 victory. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: they had a pretty big lead. at one point in
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the first half, and we have to talk about Daylon
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Austin Harvey, who's a junior.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: This is the Daylon Austin Harvey legacy game. I mean,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: this stat, he's putting up a typical dual threat CBC
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: QB stat line here. He had 17 carries for 246
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: rushing yards, 13 completions on 21 attempts, 207 passing yards,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions. He had a He had touchdown
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: rushes of 5 yards, 70 yards, 85 yards, and 4 yards.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: So close to the goal line, or not close to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the goal line, this kid can score. And make really
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: good throws in the pocket, out of the pocket. Unbelievable
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: game for him in the CBC offense, but really what
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: was the difference maker is that CBC won the tournament
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: battle 4-0. They forced three interceptions, got a fumble recovery,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and they did not turn the ball over themselves.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It's huge.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, the dismissed offense, outside of those turnovers, not
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to keep them in the game, but the dismissed defense
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: just couldn't stay off the field.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. Yeah, I mean, this was a game where
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: defense was certainly optional. And, yeah, this was a CBC
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: team who, you know, a year ago was able to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: score at will. And, you know, it's only the third
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: game of the season, but, The cadets are showing that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: they can score at will and score at anywhere on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the field. If your quarterback is running for an 85-yard
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: touchdown run, that's a huge indication right there. Obviously, CBC,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I guess, even won the special teams battle because Kingston
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: McPike had a... By the way, we haven't said his
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: name in a while.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Kingston McPike with an 80-yard kickoff return. That was the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: last CBC score of the game. Kind of at a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: critical time because that was... kind of had come back
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit into the game. I mean, they didn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: really get that close. They didn't make it a one-score game,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: but they were threatening, and especially the way how they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: were putting up points offensively in the second half where
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they really got going. That was a threat, but yeah, CBC,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they were able to make some plays late on and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: ultimately won kind of convincingly, too. I mean, this is
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a CBC team who lost a lot of players from
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a year ago, and We still ranked them pretty high,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I think third in the area, and then we moved
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: them back just one because they lost by a lot
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to Trinity High School from Louisville. But this is the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: game that if they were to win this one, they're
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: showing everybody in the area, in the state really, that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: they're still the same old CBC, and they are. You
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: can never doubt Scott Pingel with what he can do.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He gets the team prepared so well. and they reload
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: every year. We knew that too, but could they actually
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: do it?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We knew they would, and it just took a few
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: weeks for them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: To settle in. It's crazy because a week ago against SLU,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and this says a lot about SLU's defense, but that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: was a really close game. It was a fairly low-scoring game.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: CBC was able to win, but this is coming out
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of nowhere a little bit.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: The best teams, the teams that get better as the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: season goes along, You know, regardless of, I mean, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: unfortunately injuries just happen, but you've got to get over
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it and get better. Unfortunately, CBC has not had any
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of those yet, so they're still firing on all cylinders.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And it helps QB Dale Nelson-Harvey that he's got some,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: he's got Arness Webb averaging 34.5 yards per reception this game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He had four catches, but it was for 138 yards.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he got in the end zone. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: he got in the end zone once in the second quarter. But, yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it was critical that CBC in this game would take
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: advantage of DeSmet's mistakes, and they did. I mean, just
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to force those turnovers and score off them was massive,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and that ended up being the difference. I mean, if
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: DeSmet doesn't turn it over, or if CBC was the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: one that loses the turn of battle 4-0, then the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: outcome of this game could have been very different. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: congrats to CBC for capitalizing on mistakes, and that's how
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you beat good teams, is that... No team is perfect.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Teams are going to make mistakes, and if you want
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to beat those good teams, you've got to capitalize on them,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: whether it be turnovers or muffed punts or missed field
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: goals or blown coverages or whatever. You've got to take
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: advantage of what the team gives you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Chase Cooper for DeSmet threw for 487 passing yards. That's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got to be up there to DeSmet's single-game record. 35-51,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns, one interception. Their other quarterback had two interceptions,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so there's three interceptions that add up there. Roy Searcy
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: had 191 receiving yards on 12 catches. Cash Lucius had
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: 148 yards on seven catches. There, Ridge Jane, 64 yards
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on four catches.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Seven players with three or more catches. That's pretty incredible.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You don't see that very often. Five, actually. Five
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: players with three or more catches.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: No, that's seven. What do you mean?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, seven. Okay, I was... I guess I misheard
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you there. Yeah, so there was, I think, the Smet
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: actually ended up with more total yards than CBC, but
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's probably because they threw those interceptions, they got the turnovers,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and so CBC's got to have shorter fields to work with.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Offense is definitely not in question for the Smet. It's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: not really been all season so far, and in a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: way you could look at it, that's a really good
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: sign for their offense, but defense has certainly been an issue,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: even going back to last week against Ritter where They
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: gave up 48 points, and they were able to get
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: away with a victory. We can't be too critical on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: their defense because, look, Ritter's a really good offensive team,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and CBC, I mean, that's two of the best, most
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: explosive offenses in the area that they went up against.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, you're going to give up some points.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of points, but it doesn't mean
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: they're going to give up over 40 points like the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: rest of the game every season because... Um, you know, I,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're playing any, any better teams
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: than those two teams. Uh, they, they've just played and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: they're still two and one. So I think the Smets overall,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: they're in good shape, but yeah, they definitely, they do
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: need to, you know, work on some things defensively, no doubt.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And I, I, and I think they'll, you know, be
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: able to correct it, uh, some of the stuff that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: they're doing. And, you know, this is, and we're most
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: likely going to see the Smet and CBC play again, uh,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs since they're in the same district. And,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm, Obviously, that's a long way down the line,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but that's certainly an exciting prospect. This is a really
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: good game. This is a fun game, a lot of offense,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and we've been treated, already this season, some incredibly high-scoring
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: games that were high-quality games between ranked opponents, and it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: something that's always fun.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a fun one. Congrats to CBC for
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: winning and getting themselves in the driver's seat for another
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: MCC Conference title.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They are. I mean, they've already gotten... Let's face it,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: they've gotten the hard part out of the way with
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: beating SLU and CBC. Historically speaking, they've not had much
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: trouble with Biani and Chaminade, especially these last five years.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I think they're in really good shape to win yet
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: another MCC title.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Moving down the line, we've got St. Mary's. They defeated
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Cahokia in a close one, 25-22. This one was close
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to the last minute.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: St.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Mary's got the go-ahead score with 20 seconds left. A
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Greg Hollis 10-yard receiving touchdown from Ja'Cory Battle right at
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the end of the game, pretty much. I think both
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: teams played a good game here, honestly. I mean, the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Cahokia offense showed some inconsistencies earlier, but I think they
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: had a solid game on Friday. But ultimately, St. Mary's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: did enough, even with their injuries, to win this game.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It's funny because... But Cahokia actually forced a safety in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the third quarter.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a lot of momentum.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then scored on their following possession. But St.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Mary's then scored three touchdowns on the rest of the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: game and was able to use that to go ahead
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and win. But, yeah, unfortunately St. Mary's does not have
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: their stats in, but it seems like QB Ja'Cory Battle
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: had a solid game.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He's a freshman.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He had one passing touchdown, which was the very
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: end of the game. Um, yeah, for Cahokia, Nigel Gooden,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: he looks like he's getting back on track mostly. He
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: was 15-22 for 181 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: then Cameron Dowell getting most of the carries for them,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: 15 carries, 117 yards.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And St. Mary's is a really good defense, too.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they do. Um, so yeah, I have not
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: seen the film on this one.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Um, but... The final catch that, uh, our, uh, you know, uh,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: our friend Paul Halfacre, uh, filmed, actually, with his camera,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: had a pretty good angle of it, and it's kind
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of controversial, just looking at the camera angle of, like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: if the, if Hulse's foot was out of bounds, because
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he caught it in the upper part of the end zone,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and his, one of his feet was So it was
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: standing on a black line, which is in play, because
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you have the white out of bounds.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Was it a soccer line?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think it was. But it also doesn't tell, like,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but was, like, the end of his, the tip of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: his foot, was that on the white line? So it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a little hard to tell there. But, yeah, so, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what down it was, though. And so
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: if it was, if it was the wrong call, then St.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Mary's still would have had another play or two left
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in them. And it was a 10-yard pass. And so
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: they very well still could have scored. But that's. That's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: just what the camera evidence has for us, so it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was a really close call.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fun game. Going into the game, we knew it
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: would be close. These are two teams that are very
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: talented and kind of close to each other when it
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: comes to how they run their offenses and just overall
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: talent level.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both ranked top five in the small schools.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: And they're on different ways, too, because you mentioned we
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: know Cahokia's experience. They bringing back almost everyone from their
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: QB to their receivers.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So does St.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Mary's.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: They returned a lot from a year ago, too.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: The Wichita Quarry battle being the freshman QB, St. Mary's
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: just brings back more up front, which kind of balances
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: out the returning strength on each side.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: It seemed like that's kind of how they were moving
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the football by running. I mean, we don't have the stats,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: but besides the last touchdown pass, all their other touchdowns
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: were on runs. And they do have– like Darius Smiley
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: is a four-star lineman– junior lineman for them, and so
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they have a few other pretty good linemen in there too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So I would imagine they're just going to rely on
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that to get through that. While Kingston Miles is still–
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he has not played since their first game of the season.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Breaking news. Arizona Cardinal and CBC alum Jeremiah Love just
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: scored his first NFL touchdown.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Congrats to him.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to say it like that, but, yeah,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that's great.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Sorry, didn't want to cut you off. That's a very
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: important moment on our show's history.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. That's live.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: We love seeing our– STL alum doing big things at
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the highest level. That's super duper cool. Congrats to him.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Awesome, yeah. But like I was saying, Kingston Miles, he
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: did not play in this game yet again. We don't
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: know the severity, how long he's going to be out
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for his injury. I wish we did know because I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: would love to, if we could, send someone down to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Jackson or maybe I could go film that since St.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Mary's is playing Jackson this week. But yeah, if... If
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a four-star running back isn't playing, then the allurement of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that game kind of goes away somewhat. But we'll see
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: what happens. But St. Mary's, I mean, they're actually managing
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: really well without him, all things considering, because they lost
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: their first game to a very good, icy Catholic team.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And now they beat Festus, who also was without their
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: quarterback for the second half, but they still beat them.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And they beat Cahokia, who I think was fully healthy.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And now they play Jackson, who's arguably at, Arguably their
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: toughest test. Arguably better than IC Catholic, but it'll be close.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: That'll be a really tough game for the Dragons, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: they're in a good spot though. Yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Alright, next up. Won't say too much about this one.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I can't find, I wasn't able to find stats for
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it on MaxPreps, but Brentwood Academy, they defeated Live4Life 45-6.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Fortune and Live4Life put their stats in, which is great.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: We appreciate that. It seems like they did everything they
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: could do against a team with a severe talent edge.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Hawks fought hard, but, I mean, Brentwood
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Academy is.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: They're a top 100 team in the country. Actually, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: think they're ranked 36th in the country, according to Max Preps.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Max Preps has them 38th in the country, and then
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: second in Tennessee.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And they're 1-2. They're 2-2 now. Yeah, they're 1-2 going
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: into the game. Yeah, 2-2 now. Yeah, Brentwood Academy, they're
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: based in Nashville, and so it's a lot of talent
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: in that area, and Yeah, I mean, this game kind
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of went how I thought it would go.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Live for Life's rushing attack really wasn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: that bad. They averaged five and a half yards per carry.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They just couldn't convert their third and medium to third
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and longs.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So their offensive drive just continually sputtered out.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Had a tough time passing, it looked like.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Which is unfortunate, but, you know, it happens. But
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sure this will be good for Live for Life
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: in the long run. Aiden Barber and Reggie Murphy each
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: got a sack, so that's pretty impressive. I know they're
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Their D-line, when I watched them in Week 1, their
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: D-line was getting a hard time getting a decent pass rush,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but it looks like that's gotten a lot better, so
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: that's nice.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: So, again, you know, interest in short-grain interceptions. So even though,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you know, they got turbo-clocked, there are some good things
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: to look at. You know, it's not like they just,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you know, came up against a really, really good team
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and just got their doors blown off. Like, they actually
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: made some good plays and competed okay.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I think they had the first score of the game.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Yeah, what that is. Okay, yeah, so
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that was a decisive victory for Brentwood Academy there. And
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Tennessee really did a number on our city schools this week.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Going over to eastern Tennessee in Knoxville, Cardinal Ritter dropped
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a tough one, 28-22 to Catholic High School in Knoxville.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And this is another game that was going to be
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: really tough. I looked up, I did some research on
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Catholic and They had a really good team. They have
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a really good quarterback, a really quick running back, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: their offensive line is pretty big, as you would imagine
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: for a private school in Knoxville, Tennessee. They're the real deal.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: They're now 4-0. Unfortunately for Ritter, there's no stats in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: this one, but we knew this could happen because they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: play a really tough schedule. You're going to be in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: some really close games, so now that's two straight losses
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in a row where The combined total was seven points. Yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: so lost on a field goal, and then I don't
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know what the climactic play in this game was, but yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: At the same time, that was, in a way, a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: nice result for Ritter. They probably don't want to hear
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: about moral victories, but look, they went on the road
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: against a really good team. One of the better teams...
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: maybe a top 10 team in Tennessee and lost by
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: six to them on the road. So there's something that
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: should go into that, I think. And it's not going
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to get any easier for Ritter because they got Millard
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: South coming up. Millard South comes to downtown St. Louis
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: this coming Friday. So that's going to be another really
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: tough test for the Lions. But we knew that this
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was going to happen. They're going to be in so
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: many battles all season because of how tough their schedule is. And, yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: This is what happens.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: All right, moving down the line, we've got Troy defeated
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Hamill 35-6. This was one of the weirder games in
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the area.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I think Troy, I mean, I don't know what
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: they think about it, but they would probably think, well,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: this was a massive success.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Well, this was, I would say, a top-five performance by
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: a Troy defense ever.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, holding Hamill to six points, and Troy as
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a team got five sacks. Tristan Mulkey led the way
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: with two sacks of his own. And then Demetri Miller.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: He got a sack and an interception. And I say
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's a weird stat line because Troy only had, if
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the stats are correct in here, only had 30 offensive plays.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: They had 18 rushing attempts and 12 passing attempts, which
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: is like nothing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's like.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: That's not how Troy usually operates. They're usually good at
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: controlling the football and controlling the clock.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're averaging... I mean, even 10 plays
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a drive is, you know, not that much for an
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: average drive length. That's like, you know... a few first
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: downs per drive. That's like three drives.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it looks like.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: That's really odd to me.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it looks like they had some big plays because
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Kyle Eisenbath had one reception for 89 yards, and then
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Connor Ryan had two receptions for 94 yards.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: It's interesting because Carter Schaefer completed seven passes, but he
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: had 228 passing yards. So that's well over 30 yards
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: per completion. And he had three touchdowns, zero receptions. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: it looks like Joe Thompson... Joe Thompson's a receiver, so
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: they must have had some kind of Trick play where
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: he threw a ball, but he got a passing touchdown.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, a weird one in the stat sheet for Troy,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: but that's pretty impressive to beat Hannibal like that by
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: 29 points. A team that... And already three weeks into
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the Missouri season, we have a triangle of confusion where... Yeah,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Eureka defeats Troy... Troy defeats Hannibal, and Hannibal defeated Eureka.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all games are completely different.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why you can't always be like, oh, well,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you know, Team A beat Team B, and Team B
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: beat Team C, so Team A and Team C are playing.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Team A is definitely going to beat Team C, right?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: That's not how it works.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely not.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: That's not how it works. Matchups matter.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, congrats to Troy on the nice win there.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Really big. They get in their conference play coming up
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so good for them.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Now we've got, I think, a much more strange game.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Many, many strange games. Hey, Siri, play the album Strange
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Days by The Doors. That's what we're wearing right now.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Strange times.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The Junior Billikens avoid an upset, winning 13-7. Yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that was... One thing that we can already tell you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: is that Patrick Romella, SLU's sophomore quarterback... did not play
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in this game, and I think that's a big reason
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: why that Slough's offense was just not who they had
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: been these past few games, and he actually got hurt,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think at some point in the second half last
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: week against CBC, so, but yeah, but Pat Stein stepped
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: up for the junior bills, he was 8 of 14
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: for 69 yards, through one touchdown no interceptions and he
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: ran for 107 yards um including a 15 yard touchdown
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: run in the third quarter yeah so slew was a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and actually slew's defense they technically shut out shamanad's offense
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: but the lone shamanad score was a 70 74 yard
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: punt return for a touchdown by donovan irvin in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: second quarter So, I mean, SLU's defense, once again, definitely, that's,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: they've been really good. They've been one of the, I mean,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they've been one of the best defenses in the area
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: so far.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: They have. And going back to last year.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: And they needed to step up in this game.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, going back to last year, the talent, again, the talent,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: they don't have the same talent they did last year defensively.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: But SLU's defensive scheme is as good as it gets
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: in the area. And as long as they're not stuck
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: on the field for too long. they're going to play well.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that was, that's what we saw last
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: week in CBC is that Slu's offense kind of sputtered
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: out near this in the second half. So the defense
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: kind of got tired.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Understandably so, because we now know what CBC is capable of.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Um, but here Slu's defense freaking showed up. I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: shutting out Chaminade's offense. Um, they held Chaminade to 100, uh,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: what is this? 129, no, excuse me, 229 play yards
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: of offense. They held Chaminade to 3.6 yards per carry,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: which was really good. I know, We had talked about
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Chaminade's pretty efficient rushing attack in previous episodes. They held
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Jermarion Barnes to completing only 50% of his passes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Barnes still rushed. He seems to be their primary. He's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: their main guy, essentially.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: It's funny because it was a rare game where both teams,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: their QBs had a lot of design runs. Jermarion Barnes
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: looks like he had at least 18 or 19 design runs.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And then Pat Stein for SLU High also had that
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: many design runs.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: So very interesting kind of dynamic there. But SLU gets
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: it done. They make enough plays and get the end
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: zone enough to win this one. But, yeah, it was
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: 7-0 at halftime and 13-7 for a final score. You
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: do not see low-scoring games like that very often. But
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: a win is a win, especially for a– In the MCC. Yeah,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: especially in a rivalry-filled MCC conference.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Anthony Busby for SLU had 18 tackles. And then Sam
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yust had 16 tackles.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: And Busby had two sacks. SLU as a team had
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: five sacks, which that's always going to be a lot
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: for one game. So, again, the SLU high defense, not
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: as game-breaking as last year. But, I mean, shoot, if
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: they keep putting up games like this, we might have
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: to put them in the conversation of last year's defense
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: because this is some really, really good performances right here.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Also, I've got to shout out Tristan Johnson for SLU.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: He's a sophomore tight end. He's 6'6. And, you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: statistically it wasn't like a massive coming out party, but
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in a way it was because, I mean, he made
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the biggest play of the game with a 28-yard touchdown reception.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And it was, I think if I saw it, if
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I remember the video correctly, it was kind of like
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: a nice head tap catch in the end zone. So, yeah,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: he had 57 touchdowns. receiving yards with four receptions, and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: then the game-winning touchdown reception. So that's a nice game
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: for him there. Yeah, so that's SLU. They're 2-1 now,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and I think they're in good shape. And for Chaminade,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get any easier as they play probably an angry,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: dismet team this coming week. Yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, congrats to Coach Cruz and the Bills for that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: conference win. All right, next up, a game that was
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: quite disappointing for... but quite relieving for some of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Metro East side. Edwardsville defeats Belleville East 27-0.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I just thought this was going to be like a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: close game, like how it's been the last four or
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: five years against these two teams. And so I was
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: excited about that. But I think Edwardsville is absolutely excited
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: because they had a nice, convincing shutout victory.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Edwardsville increases their winning streak against the Lancer's two.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Let's see, it went.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: 17 games in a row.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The last team, the last time Bill East won
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: this rivalry was back in 2010.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Wow. I've had some pretty good teams like since then too.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And I've gotten really close to beating Edwardsville, but, uh,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I mean this, I mean, I don't know how good
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Edwardsville is going to be or not, but like, you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I think Edwardsville is eventually going to start to be a,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a decent, pretty like more, not just decent. I mean,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: they already are decent, like a pretty good team again,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: where they're going to be competing like, you know, in the,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: know the large school rankings and making deeper playoff runs
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: i mean it's been it's been a there's been a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: few years now where they've like just been first round
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: exits in the playoffs but i think they're i think
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the tide's starting to finally turn and just for the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: near future maybe not this year but the next few
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: years um because at the end of the day edwardsville
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they're still one and three and they still got east
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: st louis to play so i think at best they're
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: five you're looking at five and four there but uh
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: but yeah, um, no, a solid, solid win, a much
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: needed victory for, for Edwards though, right there. I mean, that,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: that's a really good way to respond. And I mean,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: in the, in the face of adversity, they, they were
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: 0-3 going into the game. And, um, you know, there's,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, doubt going both way of,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you know, how's this, how's this game going to approach, but, uh, yeah,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: at the least, I mean, I just, I did not
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: think they would get, I mean, I knew that, I mean,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: this is like, for me, like a 50-50 game and I,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I picked it east to win it, but, um, Yeah,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't envision them getting shut out. Yeah, and it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the third game in a row where they've failed to
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: register more than, not third game in a row, but
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: it's their third game, all of them have been losses,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: where they failed to register more than seven points.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Unfortunate for the Lancers.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Very unfortunate.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Next up, a game, really exciting one, between two 2-0
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: teams going into it. Pattonville defeats Lafayette in Wildwood 26-21.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: The Pirates scrape it out and are now 3-0 on
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the season. Nothing too crazy, but a very solid game
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: by quarterback Trevor Beckerman. 21-26, 220 yards, two touchdowns.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And the final score was 26-21.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is funny. How about that? The winning QB's
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: passing line was the exact same as the final score.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: That's kind of fun.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: A little stat line there.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Nice trivia question down the line, down the road.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure it's... And I'm sure Beckerman enjoys his
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: weapons he has because it's not like Padville has their
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: go-to guy. It really is right now the Hopgood brothers
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and Gilbert Lacan III. All three of those guys had
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: five or more catches for 56 or more passing yards.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: So really Beckerman just goes through his reads. And it's
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: not like, you know, a lot of high school QBs
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: where it's like, I'm just going to look for my
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: number one guy wherever he is. I'm going to throw
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: it to him.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Beckerman actually goes through his reads properly, and whoever's open,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: he just throws to. And fortunately for him, he has
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: three really good athletes on the outside and make catches
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: and good runs.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah. Pattonville's rushing attack, I mean, was just okay,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: nothing more, I would say. Like 130 yards, 35 rushes,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: averaged almost like three yards of carries, which is– that
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: alone is not going to win you games, but it
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: did kind of move the needle a little bit, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: then Beckerman was able to make some big throws. And so, yeah,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: 100– sorry. 350 yards of offense against Lafayette. That's a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: decent day at the office, I would say. And they just, Pattonville,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they just did enough. And that was good. I mean,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: this is a, the first two weeks they came out,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I felt like they didn't look that great. But this
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: was a, this was a.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: They showed flashes, but they didn't show consistency.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, but this was a game where I guess maybe
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you could say the same thing. Like showed flashes, but
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot of consistency.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: It's getting better.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: But they got the job done.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: They're definitely looking better than week one, which again, like
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you want to, get better as the season goes on,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: and Patent Hill's definitely doing.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: That so far. Yeah, they got the job done against
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a really, I think, a solid Lafayette team.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: This is definitely the best team they've played so far.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: To win the way they did, I mean, and to
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: force two turnovers, shout out to B.J. Scheiss for getting
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: two interceptions. That's really huge. I mean, you can call
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: that the difference of the game right there.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: That's huge. And, you know, kind of with the CBC
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to SMEC game, you've got to take advantage of your
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: opponent's mistakes, especially in a close game like this, and
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Patent Hill did.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Who asked the Pirates?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: 3-0.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: 3-0, yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I can't remember the first time. I think the last
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: time they were 3-0 was in 2018. Keep talking and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'll fact check you on that. I'm pretty sure that's 2018. No, no,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I'm certain it's 2018. I don't think you have.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: To fact check that. One moment later.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need to fact check that.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, 2020 they started 3-0.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, that was COVID.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I just try to erase that year from my memory.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: So the last time Padville was 3-0 in the month
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: of September. was not 2018.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Because 2018, they started 2-1.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? Wow.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Because in week one of 2018, they lost to Hickman 23-20.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: That's right!
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: That was a big upset. Hickman kicked a game-winning field goal,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and then that was Hickman, like, their only winner this season,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: The last time Pattonville started 3-0 in a non-COVID year
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: was 2015.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: 2015, when Caleb Elby was a freshman. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: There you go. They say your memory starts to go
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: when you're 30, so... Yeah. That was... I was dead certain.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Because they had a really good team in 2018. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: remember because they beat Kirkwood that year, kind of early
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in the season. That was a statement win for them.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: All right, so there was some Pattonville history for you there.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: And they're off to a really good start. Next up
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: is U City defeating Northwest in a defensive one it
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: was a scrappy game but uh that's what I think
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: U City really needed in order to limit uh a
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: guy like Cohen Stark yeah um and yeah this is
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: this is a big I think this is a This
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: is UCD's best win in a long time. And I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: know it's only Northwest, but Northwest is on a good
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: trajectory right now, too.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: After what they did last year, I would not say
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: this is only Northwest.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to the people who don't regard, especially teams
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: from Jefferson County, in high regard or where they should be,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: because this is a good Northwest team. They're a good
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: large school team.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: It was a scrappy game, and this was a messy game.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Ten total turnovers in this one.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. Okay.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: U-City recovered three fumbles and got three interceptions. Dominique Bolden
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: got two of those. Dominique Bolden also got a sack
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: for U-City. But they also gave the ball up four times.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Northwest got one interception, and they recovered three fumbles. So
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of just giving it away here, and it
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: just kind of felt like, Whoever could hold on to
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the ball for more than two minutes at a time
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: was going to score. That's kind of how it worked out.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, Teddy Stevens for U-City, I mean, he threw
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: one interception.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: They threw three touchdowns.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Exactly. He had a really good game. 15-28, between 22 yards,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns, one interception. All three U-City touchdowns came from
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: his arm. And Dominic Bolden, two huge plays. He got
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: two receiving touchdowns. One was a 65-yarder in the second quarter.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: The other was a 50-yarder in the third quarter.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: A guy with great hands and a guy that once
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: he's in space, it's over. Because open field tackling this
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: guy is insane because just one, his acceleration is good
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: and any juke move he puts on you is going
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: to be lethal. So he had six catches for 148
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns. That's an incredible stat line. Almost
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: 25 yards per reception. That's crazy. They had an okay rushing.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: You said he had an okay rushing attack. I mean,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: 15 carries for almost 70 yards. That's just like okay.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: They're not a run-first team, which is fine for them.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: They can run the ball, but Northwest, so far, their
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: defense has been really good at stopping the run.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Lions defense really should have. They forced
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Cohen Stark into... What was by far his worst passing
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: game of his career. He was 9 of 32 for
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: 134 yards, 0 touchdowns, 3 interceptions.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's safe to say that Northwest has
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: not seen a team like U-City's athleticism since Jackson.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Last year in the playoffs.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that. Definitely might be the most
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: athletic team they see in the regular season until if
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: they face Jackson again in the playoffs because they are
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: in the same district. Coach Franklin on U-City clearly had
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: a pretty good defensive plan schemed up. I don't know
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: if he calls plays on defense or not, but his staff,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I'll just say his staff had a clearly had a
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: good plan defensively to, you know, to limit Northwest and, um,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: just turn them over and do a pretty good job.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, Northwest, I think they, they ultimately out gained
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you city, but again, it's three interceptions. Uh, it was
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: probably the, probably the biggest differences in the game right there.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: And especially in a low scoring tight game as that was.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I wonder when we'll, I wonder when we'll see a, uh,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: 10-turnover game again. That does not happen very often.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: So, all right, how many turnovers did.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Well, Northwest had six turnovers and New City had four.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so one interception and then three follow-up coverage.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, that's... I don't know if
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: we may have a game like that for the rest
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: of the season as far as the turnover discrepancies would go. Yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: All right. Next up.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: This is a Thursday game. Eureka gets back on track
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: with a 40-14 winnings partway north. We picked Eureka to win.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I did not think Eureka would be this dominant.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I thought they would be this good.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: It's funny because, man, Eureka had 53 carries and 189 yards.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: So nothing crazy on the ground.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: It's a passing game.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Zach Kemp's been doing great so far this year. 17-20,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: 2-27 yards, two touchdowns.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: He's been really good for them.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Very efficient. 13 carries for 74 yards, averaging 5.5 yards
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: per carry.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: He's a leader as well. Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, he's their guy. He's a great athlete.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Sal Junino, 89 yards off six catches. No touchdowns for him.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: But this Eureka defense did pretty good. They held Eureka
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: at just 269 total yards of offense. And, yeah, I mean,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: it was– Nothing too crazy. I don't even know if
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: there were that many turnovers. I don't know if there
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: were any turnovers.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Eureka had a turnover. I know this because I was
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: watching the film that we edited. The game is on
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: our YouTube channel now, by the way. I think Eureka
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: lost a fumble. I think that was it. I can't
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: remember if Parkway North had any turnovers. Yeah, Parkway North...
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I thought Eureka would, I thought, I really had a,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I had a good feeling Eureka's defense would finally settle
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: in because, uh, Parkway North, they've had a tough time
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: like running the ball, especially on offense and their passing
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: game has been, been okay. Um, and yeah, it seemed
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: like Eureka dug in. They had a few, uh, Marquette, Marquette, um,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: North had, had a handful of big plays, um, including
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a 55 yard touchdown pass from, to Christian Brown from
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Burns. And then, um, Burns threw an 18-yard pass
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: to Alex Harvey. So it was kind of the early
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: part of the third quarter. The game was a little
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: interesting because it was, I think at that point, 27-14. Yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: but then Eureka took over after that. And I think
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: their X factor so far has been Cam at quarterback.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He can run. He can throw. He's got a quick
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: release when he throws. He's got quick feet. He's got
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: really good balance. He's probably like 5'10. But, yeah, he
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: gets it done. He knows the offense very well. The
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: offense for Eureka so far has been solid for them.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: It's just their defense has not been all there, but
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: they did a better job against Parkway North in this game. And, yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: so that's a decent win. I mean, Parkway North, these
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: last five years, whenever you can beat them, especially at home,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that's a decent win.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, unlike the last game we discussed, no real
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: turnover shenanigans to make it a messy game. It was
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: more just Eureka playing an overall really good game and
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: just beat the Vikings straight up.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: All right, next up. This is a close one, really
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: close one, and a very fun one down in Franklin County.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And this is an overtime game, too. Borgia, they defeat
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Washington by a final score of 27-21.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: And....
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: This is a fun one because it came into the
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter with Washington up 14-7. And then, oh, jeez,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: the touchdowns are arranged super weird on this stat sheet.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: But the teams exchanged touchdowns, so Borja scored twice in
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: the span of three minutes in the fourth quarter, and
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: then Washington kind of scored in between that off the
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: big Carter Hill run. But, yeah, Kash Artrand with a...
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: an okay game. He turned it over a couple of times, but, uh,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: came through in the end. Um, and Tyler Woodle, he
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: played okay, but I'm sure he's going to get a
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: lot of the flowers for scoring the overtime touchdown. Um, yeah, Dominic, um,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I think he's, uh, but Machefsky, is that your last name?
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But for Borgia, Dominic Machefsky, if I'm,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: if I'm getting that wrong, I apologize. It's very interesting.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Last name. Um, But it reminds me of Mike Krzyzewski's last.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Name, the Duke. So it's Polish. So this guy's probably Polish.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nine catches for 112 yards for him, two touchdowns.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: He got both the received touchdowns from Cash to Artrand. And, yeah,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Tyler Woodle, I mean, he's doing it on both sides
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: of the ball. He got a sack. He got seven
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: total tackles and the game-winning touchdown. So I guess you've
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: got to give him player of the game. I don't know.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: But for Washington, not that terrible of a game. They
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: definitely imposed their will to run the ball. I mean,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Carter Hill had 26 carries for 183 yards. Bowen Bass
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: had 13 carries for 63 yards. Averaged over 5.5 yards
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: per carry as a team.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what they typically want to do, establish their offense.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: But they just couldn't keep it safe in the air.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: But it's funny because this is like a mini version
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: of the U-City– Northwest game, because there were, what, six
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: total turnovers in this one? Yeah, six total turnovers here,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: because Borja actually threw two picks and gave away two fumbles,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: but Washington also threw two picks.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, and two, yeah, so yeah, you're right, sorry,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the wrong stats. No, you're good, you're good.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just a very interesting game here, and Borja, they
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: move to 3-0, and Washington goes to 0-3, but So
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: congrats to the Knights for the big win. And hopefully
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: this game, I think they have it. I don't know
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: if they have it scheduled for next year.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: They should.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: They better.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: They should. I mean, usually it's a two-year scheduling cycle,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: so I hope they do.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Private schools, a lot of them are kind of like
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: on one-year basis with a lot of other schools. It depends.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, congrats to the Knights on a nice rivalry win.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: They don't play very often, but you've got to call
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: it a rivalry, right?
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: There were two teams in Washington.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I think there's definitely probably like you call it a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: rivalry because i mean let's face it i mean borgia
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: they i'm sure a lot of most of their players
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: like live in the washington school district so like in
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: a way inherently there there is kind of a rivalry there.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah Next up, Marquette. Their offense turns it up, and
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: they defeat Rittner 42-18.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I did not expect a blowout like that from either side.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, neither did I. Arion Wright, wow. Three receiving touchdowns
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: for him, four catches, 151 yards, three of those catches
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: were touchdowns. Definitely the best game of his career. 37.5
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: yards per reception for him. And Colton Richards, man, 16-26
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball for the Mustangs, 326 yards, four touchdowns,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: zero interceptions, and then running the ball as a team.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: They had 191 rushing yards, over six yards per carry.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Jermon Abbott, 123 yards, 16 carries, and with a touchdown run.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a 517-yard performance by the Mustangs' offense.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: This is one of their best showings since the Chris
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Cray days.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is, I don't remember this offense,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, two years ago. I mean, yeah, I can't
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: remember really an offense performance Marquette's had that has been
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: this good for the last few years.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: And defensively, they got five sacks. Brendan Cotman and Jordan
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: McNeil each got two sacks. So really one of the
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: best all-around games for the Mustangs in quite a while.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: And after a very strange week one, to say the least,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: it looks like they've really gotten back on track wins
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: against St. Dominic and Rittenhouse.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to their next three games
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: with Kirkwood, Lafayette, and Eureka. I think those are going
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: to be really good now. Yeah, you've got to say Marquette's...
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I can't say they're back, but they're making really good progress.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: And you love to see it because this is... Because
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: a year ago they had, I think, 11 kids who
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: had season-ending injuries and then more than 18 starters who
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: were all injured at one point in the season and
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: But because of that, it heavily benefited this season because
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: they needed to have all these guys step up who
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: are underclassmen, and they got an advanced year of development
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: because of that. And now this year, they are a
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: lot more developed than they would have been if they
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: were relatively injury-free a year ago. I mean, they're already
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: a big school, and so they now have more depth
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: because of it because they were going to have some
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: other kids, especially in their sophomore class, who they really like,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: who probably would have stepped up anyway but now they
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: probably have a few of those guys who are blocked
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: because they got some other guys who have a year
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: more development so it's.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Pretty cool shifting over to the Metro East the Breeze
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Central Cougars move to 4-0 on the year they get
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: a nice 44-26 win against Waterloo pretty close in the
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: first half but in the third quarter the Cougars just
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: took over Breeze Central outscored Waterloo 22-6 in the third
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: frame which ended up really being the difference there The
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Cougars don't have their stats in, but Owen Carrera did
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: have four passing touchdowns. I would assume they would put
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: theirs in sooner or later. They're usually pretty.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Good about their stats. It's their fourth time in four
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: games that they've scored over 40 points. And Carrera now
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: has 10 touchdown passes with just one interception. Wow. With 600. Well,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's got more than 625 yards because they
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: didn't have his yards logged in for this game we're
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: It looks like he did throw one this past game
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: because it says that Mason West for Waterloo got an
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: interception on defense.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: So it looks like he did throw one. But still
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: an overall solid game from him. And not a bad
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: game from Waterloo either.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: He's also got five rushing touchdowns as well.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: There you go. Well, actually, the opening score was a
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Waterloo pick six.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Mm-mm.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: The first score was a Mason West 64-yard interception return
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: for a touchdown with just ten and a half minutes
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: left in the first quarter. So that was, assumedly, the
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: opening drive of the game. But after that, it looks
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: like the Cougars got back on track and then traded
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: scores for a bit there. But ultimately, Bree Central was
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: just able to convert. More drives than touchdowns, which is huge.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. Big game for the Cougars there. Another solid
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: win over a good Waterloo team. We'll stay in the
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: 6-1-8 for another offensive classic involving the Highland Bulldogs. Yeah.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Where they come out on top 60-49. Roman, the first quarter,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: it was 28-21 Highland after the first quarter. So, that's
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: pretty insane. So, you had 49 points in the first quarter.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, look at this. Marion has their stats in A.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Marion. They're not even an area team,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: but they have their stats in. I'd love that. We
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: appreciate that, guys. Thank you very much. That's huge. Yeah, Marion, wow,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: they had 568 total yards of offense. But Highland had more.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: They had 598 yards of total offense. Jax Oren, I mean,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: every time we talk about this kid, he puts up
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: a crazy stat line. 17-27, 311 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: But Carter Harris... He might lead the area in rushing
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: yards by a year's end. He has 29 carries this
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: game for 260 yards, averaging just a shade under 9
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: yards per carry. Anthony Beadle and Grayson Stone for Highland
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: both got over 100 receiving yards.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: So I want to interrupt you real quick. So Jack Zorin,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: he now leads the area with 1,452 passing yards, 12 touchdowns,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: 6 interceptions, and as we approach down, The number one
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: leading rusher is Carter Harris with 767 yards. He does
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: have 89 attempts, but, I mean, there's a.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: They have a game at hand over the Missouri teams, but...
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: That is true. But still, they're on a very good
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: pace to stay ahead.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's... So they have, yeah, two of the
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: biggest stat leaders in the area with both passing and running.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: That's quite a luxury to have right there.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Harris, he got the two game-stealing touchdowns at
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. He scored twice in the
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter. And Highland was up 53-49. They had the
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: ball with a couple minutes left, and they drove down
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: the field with 44 seconds left to seal the game,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: make it a two-score game. Carter Harris got a 21-yard
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: rushing touchdown.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I've got to get out to a Highland game.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Seriously, they're... are flying around making plays on the offensive
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: side of the ball.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Ooh. Highland at Cahokia week eight. Ooh, we got to
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: get a camera there. Yeah.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: All right. Uh, next up, this was a pretty wild
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: game for the battle of O'Fallon. Forza Mall North gets
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: their first win of the season and over double overtime
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: against Zumwalt West.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Final score.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: This one was 33 to 27. Um, Josiah Potts, QB
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: for Zumwalt North, he got the game sitting touchdown on
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: this one, just a QB lead. He ends the game.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: There's a typo here in the stats that he had
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: zero completions. That's not true. But he did have 128
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: passing yards. He had 155 rushing yards. The word on
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: the street I've heard is that the offense still isn't
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: you know, consistently converting third downs.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: They were playing from behind most of the game. I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: think they had the whole game, really, until overtime.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Zumwalt North forced a safety in the first quarter. This
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: is such a funny stat line for Zumwalt North. They
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: only had 33 points, but they spread it across all
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: six periods they played. They got a safety in the
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: first quarter. They got a Chance McDonald 57-yard rush touchdown
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: in the second quarter. They got a Josiah Potts 27-yard
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: rush touchdown in the third quarter. They got another Potts
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. And that Potts touchdown
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter was the 49 seconds left. So
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: they could have won the game. They missed the PAT
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: to go ahead and win the game in regulation.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you, guys.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: But they missed that. And then West got the ball
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: back on their ensuing possession, drove down the field, and
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: they missed the go-ahead field goal pretty much to end regulation.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I think there were like five seconds left after they missed.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: That field goal. Yeah.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: So both teams have special teams miscues to go ahead
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: in the final middle of the game. So that was
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: pretty crazy. And then the teams exchange. This is crazy.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: They both missed their PATs.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Well, okay.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Zumwalt North, they attempted to go for two.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm assuming Zumwalt North had the ball
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: first in the first overtime because they had it second
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: in the second overtime.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: So they had it first in the first overtime, and
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: they scored. And then they went for two, and they
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: missed it. So they must be having some serious PAT
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: issues because they missed the PAT in their first touchdown.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: They made it in their second touchdown, and they missed
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: it in the fourth quarter, and they just went for
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: two in overtime, and they didn't get it. And then
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: West got a touchdown to tie it, and they missed
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: their PAT to win the game in the first overtime.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: And then West did not score in their possession in
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: the second overtime, and then Zamon North gets a touchdown.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: So this was just a a ridiculous game just a
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: special a special team corinna's nightmare game.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: We'll just say that both teams must have felt like
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: i mean like west must have felt like they were
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: gonna lose and like with 49 seconds left and then
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: north must have felt like they were gonna lose in
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: the first overtime like when west tied it and then
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: they all they had to do was kick a pat
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: so that that there must have been a crazy range
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: of emotions.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh yeah seriously All right. There's a few
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: other games that might be worth mentioning, but one that
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: really turned some heads, and I woke up on Friday
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: and I was shocked to see this score. The Zumwalt
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: East Lions defeated Orchard Farm 33-28 on Thursday night. Biggest
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: win for Zimaldiste in quite a while.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Definitely this decade.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: The Carter Mitchell coming out game, some are saying, he
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: had 32 carries for 157 yards. The touchdowns are not in.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I think he got two touchdowns. I could be wrong
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: on that one, though, because the touchdowns aren't in the
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: stat sheet. Miles Medlin for Zimaldiste, he had a decent game, 16-23,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: 275 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. His brother Devin
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: was his main receiver. He had seven catches for 105 yards. And, yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Zumwalt East also had a 2-1 start. And, yeah, that's
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: good for them.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, they beat a ranked– I don't know if
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Orchard Farm is officially ranked in the media rankings, but,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, they beat a ranked small school.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: And look at the next few games in Zumwalt East's schedule.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: They've got North Point who are 0-3, and defensively they're
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: just not quite there. And then week four– Week 5,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: excuse me, they got Washington, who's 0-3 so far. Week 6,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: they got their rival, Zumwalt South.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: They haven't won. Or have they?
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: They have not won a game yet. So we, I mean, shoot,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: in Week 7, we very well might see a 5-1
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Zumwalt East traveling to the north side to play Zumwalt North,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: which could potentially be a conference championship game there. So
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: that would be very, very interesting. Very interesting.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yo. Ooh, and... St.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Charles West, they won again. So they beat France-South North 42-2.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: With Reno.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: So we could see... And St. Charles West and Zumal
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: East have played each other a lot the past several years,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: and usually it's been like a kind of whatever beginning
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: of the season game. But that could have some pretty
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: serious district standings implications if they both have good records
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year and they play each other.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Any other games you think are worth mentioning?
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Timberland had a... Since we're talking about the GAC, it looked...
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: This actually seemed like a really good game.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: They scrapped one out in a rivalry game.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a really good game. 41-35 win over Liberty. Yeah,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, right? Yeah, they are now 2-1. It looked
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: like they were winning for most of the game and
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: had a lead and just were able to hold on.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Wolves put on a clinic run of
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: the ball. 38 carries as a team.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Calvin Smith.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: 352 yards, 9.2 yards per carry.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Calvin Smith, 140 yards, 18 carries. And Tavern Williams, 11 carries,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: 67 yards. And he was 13-22 for 171 passing yards,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no interceptions. Liberty's quarterback, Langston LeBrot, had 337
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: yards with four touchdowns and one interception, 20-31. So he
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: had Nice game there. And it just seemed like in
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: the second half, the offense on both sides really ticked up. But, yeah,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: this is a solid win for Timberland. And I think
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: their game against Zumwalt North now takes on a lot
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: more meaning now. It does.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: That has a lot of conference implications in there. So
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: that should be very fun to watch.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah. I got a few more games going
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: back into St. Louis County. Kirkwood with, like, ultimately– looking
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: like a fairly easy win over Hazelwood East, 45-15. But
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: it was actually East themselves. They were winning 9-7 at halftime.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: And it's interesting because Hazelwood East is now 0-3, including
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: losses to the likes of Hazelwood West and Hillsboro. So, yeah,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: but it looked like the Spartans, they were able to,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: They just kind of put it together in the first...
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I think it was the first quarter? Yeah, so they
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: got a safety on Kirkwood, and then later in the
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: second quarter, they returned a 49-yard interception into a pick six.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: So they didn't actually do anything offensively in that half,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: but still had the lead. But it must say something
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: about their defense, though, because they were able to only
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: allow one touchdown to Kirkwood in one half of football.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: But then... The better team ultimately won out. The Pioneers,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: they woke up in the second half, scored within the
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: first minute on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Nicholas Tucci,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and then Joey Goodman threw a touchdown pass, so that's weird.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: So I guess Tucci came out of the game after that,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: and Goodman ended up throwing, he was 8 of 13
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: for 110 yards with one touchdown. He did throw two interceptions, though,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: so that's interesting how... Actually, no, I got that wrong.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Goodman was 7 of 10 for 138 yards. He threw
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: for three touchdowns and zero interceptions, and Tushy was 8
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: for 13 with a touchdown and two interceptions. So maybe
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: they just took Tushy out. I don't know what it was.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Amir Parks had 104 yards on three carries
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: for Kirkwood there. Just interesting how that game played out
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: for me. Kind of another weird game right there. And
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: then The game, since I was at this game, I'll
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: talk about it on Thursday night. Ledoux had a pretty
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: easy 49-0 win over Riverview Gardens. And, I mean, really
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the only news about that is that Emmitt McIntosh now has,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: he's thrown for over 20 career touchdown passes, which means
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: he's the 10th Ledoux Ram of all time to do that.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: And he also surpassed Jack Fox, who's currently a punter
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: for the Lions in the NFL. Jack was a starting
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: quarterback as a senior in the 319 touchdown passes. So, yeah, so...
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Nice little record right there. Riverview, I will say this.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Their quarterback, Nate Poole, he is their one, I would say,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: X-factor athlete because he did give Ladue's defense some problems
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: with his scrambling ability and his legs, but they were
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: ultimately able to contain him because you can only do
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: that for so long as a quarterback trying to scramble
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: out of the pocket and whatnot. So, Ladue, they're 3-0
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: for the first time since 2019, and their offense is
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: averaging 45 points a game. So, they're just... This looks
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: so much better from a year ago offensively, and really
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: just the last several years. All right, that's the Woody
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Rams right there.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: One last game I think is worth mentioning. Seckman, it
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: was messy, but they got it done. They beat Lindbergh 21-14,
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: and they moved to 3-0. So, yeah, not too much
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: to say about that game. Seckman, a lot of misthrows,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of miscues offensively, but a win's a win.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: 3-0 is 3-0.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: But they've got Pattonville this week, so that one should
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: be very interesting.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: It will be, yeah. Okay, that'll do it for us.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for listening, as always. We really appreciate it,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: and thank you very much, and have a nice week. Peace.
