• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Go Bruins. Hurry up.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I got to get to Tulsa and get some suppressors.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome into a week seven edition of tailgate talk.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Kevin Farbach, Chris Rivard, Chris Batchelder, Nighthawk with you. Pahuska,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Copan on a bye. It is a Thursday night week
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: of football fall break across the state of Oklahoma. Pretty
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: much everyone going to play on Thursday night. Didn't have
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: quite as good of a week last week locally as
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: we've been having. Pahuska, Bartlesville, Caney Valley, Kansas, South Coffeyville
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: all coming off wins and the guys starting to get
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: a picture of what some of these districts look like.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: We're getting district records, obviously, for some of our local teams,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and excited to get into another kind of critical weekend
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: of high school football on a Thursday, maybe a rainy Thursday.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, we've got Posca still undefeated here.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: And Caney still undefeated as well.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Undefeated and still flocking on people. It's crazy. Yeah, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Copan had a great game. I wish they would have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: pulled it out.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a shame.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But it looked like they had a lot of people there.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: A lot of people attended it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And so that was good. So, you know, it's exciting
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: football now, guys. It's playoff time. It's getting colder.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: It's fine.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: And I'm just going to get it out early, criticize OSSA.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Here we go, Barsville, with a bye, and four non-division games.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's so crazy that they can't organize a
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: seven-team district.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't understand.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's five teams in it. So it really
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: just comes down to what Barsville is going to experience this. Boy,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: every game matters. I mean, if you're a premier without.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: But it just blows my mind we had four non-division
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: and then Barzill.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Why did they just not move the 5A teams up?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Can someone understand?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I don't understand.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I think schools were upset and they said no.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Well, isn't Booker T? Booker T is 6A-2 and we're 5A.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: What's the difference?
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So Paul Paul was 6A.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But I also think.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: That's going to happen, right? If you redo this every
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: two years, that will happen.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Why don't they just have 6A1 and then 5A?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That's what they should do.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And then move everybody.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Or have a 7A.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It should be 7A for the top 16 big
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: boys that want to have NIL and $ 20 million facilities.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: And then everyone else, the next 32.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Can play 6A football. And then Bartlesville's district would be
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Sepulpa and Sand Springs and Claremore and Collinsville. And you
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: would only go on 40 miles or so. And you
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be playing Putnam City West and Capitol Hill.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I was talking to the Heritage Hall coach yesterday. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: they're playing Locust Grove and Salina and all the way
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: east schools over here.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Well, once again, the OSSSA, they don't take in the
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: logistics side for these schools. It's crazy for an east
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: side school to be going and playing a west side school.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: During a regular season. Playoffs, it's different.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Obviously, our girls' softball team is getting ready to go
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: over to the west side to play in the state
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: versus Broken Arrow.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: That's expected, but not during regular season. Try to minimize
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: those travel schedules.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well, the Dewey Bulldogs are playing Chisholm.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Where is Chisholm?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's Enid.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Is it down by the trail?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: West of I-35. That's right. It is.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: It's north of Enid.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But once again, these superintendents grow up. And step up
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and defend your school and say, we're not doing this.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's not hard.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It's not rocket science.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The problem, though, Rev, you'll have to speak to this.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Part of the problem is I think that some of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the ADM numbers in 5A are so much lower than
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: some of these 6A schools.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But look at 6A.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, look at 4,500 people walking in Broken Arrow
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: and then go down to the bottom one.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: OSSA is made up by the membership.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And the membership is the public schools. These schools, not
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: just public schools, the schools involved. And then who runs
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the schools? The superintendents, the school boards step up and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: do something about it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But this is the same complaint about the NCAA, these
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: association organizations that govern these schools and these sports are
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: notoriously corrupt and I'm not saying the OSSAA is corrupt,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: but it's not.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: It's pretty close.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Poorly run.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: This is what they say.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: There's a difference between corruption and poorly run, and it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: poorly run.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that. This is what they say.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And I understand their point. I don't agree with their point.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Is that the reason they are doing this is because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: they're trying to separate the private schools. I get it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: They're not, I mean, because you've got Bordersville, or, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like Dewey would end up with Casha Hall, Metro Christian,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: all of them. And so they're trying to separate them all. Well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they sure didn't care about that whenever I was coaching.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, but also at the end of my coaching career,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I remember they were resetting those private schools by just
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: automatically moving them up a class.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: They tried that and they lost a hall. They would go.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: They would get bumped up according to how they finished. Right.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: If they finished in the top, if they went to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the semifinals, I think, two years in a row, then
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they got moved up a class. Two semifinals. No, one class.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I think the most they could ever go is one class. Now,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in Arkansas, there is no limit. You just keep moving.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I think, Rev, I think they got moved up a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: class no matter what.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think that happened. Okay. That never happened. Now,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I just visited Cornerstone Academy down in San Antonio, Texas, guys.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: In the state of Texas, private schools do not play
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: with public schools. They don't even have a division for
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: private schools. There is no playoff system. There's nothing. They
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: can play each other. They can play each other. They
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: can't play the public schools.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Well, let me ask a question. The reason for that
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is because they can recruit and offer scholarship, correct?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Is that what? Yeah. Is that?
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Completely different set of rules, like IMG and all those guys.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: That's why they travel around the country.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about the state of Oklahoma?
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Well, in the state of Oklahoma, you can do the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: same thing right now.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm about to say. What's the difference between
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: public and private right now? There's nothing now.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: There's nothing, Evan. The OSSAA did that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: There's nothing. Yeah, there is no difference. That's what I
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: was about to say.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: There's no difference. So anybody can go anywhere. Then let's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: get smart and let's put these teams back together. Dewey
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: should be playing, you know, Sperry right now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And they can't play each other. Sure. And eliminate this 2-A-1, 2-A-2,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: get back to how it was, and get the traditions back.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Who in the world from Chisholm is even going to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: come to Dewey and watch a game? Yeah. There's no
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: family that's going to do that. You guys just said, well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we don't even know where Chisholm's at. What kind of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: rivalry are you going to have? Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: That's a good point, too, because these teams, the schedule's
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: changing every year, and half your– Half your schedule are
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: teams that you're never going.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: To play again.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Or not half. I mean, that's an exaggeration.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: But two or three. Like, Barstool's not going to play
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: UConn again. So there's none of that. You know, we
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: had set schedules. We knew who we were going to play.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: And year after year after year, I mean, Punk City
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: obviously was a big one for us. Union back in
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: the 80s was a big one. Jinx, I mean, that was.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: A rival for us.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Our district, whenever I was coaching, our district hardly ever changed.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: We were always going to play.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: No, playing. Tate's right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Growing up, we played the same teams every year.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It was never.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Year after year.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: We didn't redistrict every two years.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: We had so much fun, and it was a blast
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: just seeing, you know, their kids grow up. They'd see
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: our kids. We built relationships with coaches. It was a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. Now they don't have any of that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're all playing tournament ball, you know, baseball, basketball, wrestling, golf,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: all that. So these kids, I mean, it's, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: we'll talk about sixth grade here in a little bit,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: but it's like these sixth graders. All these kids know
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: each other. So when they go to play, it's pretty cool. One,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: they know the players on the other team. And two, afterwards,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: they're all kind of hugging and talking.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And should keep doing that throughout their school careers. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: knew we could get some energy in this room. People
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: talking about, I'm not coming, it's late in the season, this, that,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and the other.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Tate started it by bringing the OSSA up. Good idea.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Governor Stitt needs to fix it before he leaves office.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Trump's going to fix it in the QAA.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Stitt needs to fix OSSA and just completely fix it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Bantam.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He listens, so hopefully he'll hear that and do something
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: All right. Week 7's ball game. Let's start north of
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the border. Our only Friday night game we're going to
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: preview during the program. Caney Valley, Kansas is at Riverton,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: taking on the Rats as Coach Revard likes to call them.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I love it. Are off to a 6-0 start. Got
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: another shutout win last Friday over Cherryvale. 46-0. 6-0. Four
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: shutouts in there. Jace Buckley got the scoring going. With
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a 68-yard touchdown, Lane Denny then found Traxon Garden for
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: 58 yards. It was 32-0 Caney at halftime. The Riverton
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Rams are 3-3. They're coming off a 32-13 loss to
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Baxter Springs last week. Caney beat that Baxter Springs club
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that just beat Riverton 64-26. Riverton wins over Quapaw, St.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Mary's Colgan, Galena. Losses to Baxter Springs. Columbus, and Girard.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Series history, Caney has won three straight and seven of
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the last eight. Swept Riverton last year, beat him in
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the regular season 48-7, then 48-28 in the playoffs. and
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Reverton's last win came in 2023. Caney has played Reverton
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs quite a bit, also eliminated the Rams
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: in the 2014 and 2016 two-way playoffs. Caney Valley is
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: at Reverton, second-to-last game for the Bullpups on Friday night.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Can I just clarify something here? Sure.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Because I have so much faith in you on these mascots.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: I literally thought they were the rats.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: And the best part.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, listen, I just took a picture. I'm going to
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: post it with the– post this week for tailgate talk
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: i love that he put in the notes rats.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: And then i read down it's.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: A rams we changed that years ago i know and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: i'm like well rev knows everything rats.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And say whatever you want by the way about kansas
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: football but it seems like candy is playing the same
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: teams every year.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: They are playing the same team every year. They don't
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: redistrict up.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: There, do they?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: But they only have five district games or might even
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: have four district games.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's three or four.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But it's short a season.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's three. It used to be the last two
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: or three games of the season. They've changed it a
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Well, they play conference games. Conference and football, and then
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they have a district.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Listen, this is going to be a run rule again.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what we need to talk about here.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: The Caney bullpups are absolutely rolling. And they start the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: game with a 68-yard touchdown and then hold them to
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: three and out and then a 58-yard play. I mean,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: they're awesome.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Explosive.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: They're going to win. I got Caney. Yeah, agreed.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Not much to talk about here. They're very explosive on offense.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: They play good defense. They're disciplined. I think 100%, even
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: though it's at the Rats, Kenny Valley is going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: absolutely roll them.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't even going to be close. I'd like
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to know how many points per game they're giving up, Evan.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: You'd have to do a little bit of math.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: They're giving up 40 points in six games.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Jeez Louise.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good, guys. So you think they're explosive? They're
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: really explosive on defense.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: That's impressive.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Because they've scored a bunch on defense as well.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, can we talk about, did we get their link
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to watch them on TV?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: It's on Pup Nation on YouTube.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Is it on the KWM app? I talked to Mr.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Potter about that, and he agrees we need to have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that link on there.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know how easy that is to do.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: If we can get Homer Simpson to pop up every
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: time I click on anything.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I can't recreate that. That's a Chris Reeve problem.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Homer Simpson, boom, boom.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: That's a Chris Reward issue.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's a fact.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Kevin Potter has admitted it, and I've showed him a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: hundred times. Well, that's because you're awkward.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I got it fixed.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I got it fixed.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I was telling the decision maker about it, and he goes,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: show me. I could not make it happen.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let's go to the next game.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: No.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: This is going through your searches on your phone. I
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: search Homer Simpson?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: We don't know what you search.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: In fact, I don't want to know. This is a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: family show.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Okay. Next.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: This is the best podcast ever.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Made by humans. It's really not. I do want to mention, though,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: everyone took Caney. You know, Riverton beat Quapaw 50-0 earlier
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: this year. And obviously, it appears to me that Caney
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: is going to beat Riverton. Probably by about as much
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: as they want to.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Evan, I want you to know I'm listening.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Whether or not they're looking at Homer Simpson doesn't matter.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: You, okay? I just kind of wonder to myself how
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Caney Valley, remote, not remote, I'm sorry, Caney Valley, Kansas
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: would do against like-minded schools in this part of the state.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: It seems like they might win and win by a lot.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Tate, to your point, I would
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: rather see that happen I would rather see the Bullpups
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: come down and play some Oklahoma teams than some of
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: these games that are being played because of the OSSAA stuff.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: That'd be awesome.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: How cool would it be to bring Caney Bullpups down
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: to play Dewey?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That could be great. That'd be awesome.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Think about that rival.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Florida battle.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Rev, if No Water won't play them, have Caney Bullpups
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: come play them.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: It's been a great basketball game.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It has.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It's not a lack of effort there.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if the Adam Hooper Bowl can't get resurrected. Let's
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: make up a new bowl with Caney coming to play them.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I know. The problem is they have to.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Here it is right there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It'll pop right back up. It'll pop right back up.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Homer Simpson.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: We need a video of this process so badly. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: wish the listeners could see what happens in here.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Okay. Everybody takes.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Keeney.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the next game. Oklahoma Union and catch him.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: He did it on Evan's phone.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I can't make it happen. I don't know what you're doing.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I literally was on there for hours.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And couldn't make it good.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: That's not true.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: You must be clicking something on purpose. You must know
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: how to do it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Come on now.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Next game, Oklahoma Union versus Ketchum.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It's a Class A-2 District 4 ballgame. Cougars 0-6, lost
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: to Quapaw 54-0 last week against a Quapaw team that
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: lost to Riverton 50-0. I just mentioned that. Second shutout
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: of the season for the Oklahoma Union offense after they
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: had scored in their first four games. Ketchum Warriors, I
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: thought kind of surprisingly narrowly, beat Barnstall last week 28-20.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Ketchum is 6-0 overall, now 3-0 in the district. Oklahoma
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Union has won five straight in this series dating back
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: to 2009, and they lead Ketchum 7-3 in the ten
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: matchups they've had over the last 20 years. Oklahoma Union
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: at home against Ketchum. That'll be a Class A-2 District
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: 4 ballgame. Again, Oklahoma Union is now 0-6 on the year.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Well, that streak is going to end. Ketchum is good,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and I hate it. The Oklahoma Union, everybody knows we're
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: all rooting for them. But they keep running into some
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: pretty good teams. And Ketchum is certainly that. So, yeah,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the Warriors. Ketchum Warriors?
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, look at you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: How are they still allowed to do that? Warriors, is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that not offensive? Not at all. Okay.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: No, not at all.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to win.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Geez, way to get controversial.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: They're going to be really good Warriors this week.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going Ketchum as well. Rooting for.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Those guys up there, but they're not going to get
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: their first win of the season this season.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a shut-off-the-clock type game.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: This is Oklahoma Union. They are a poster child for
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a football program that has a continuous turnover as a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: head football coach and why they can't win. Correct. Hopefully
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: this young man will stay and be there for a
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: couple years.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Well, Stephen Trammell, I think, was there for seven years.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And then they had two after him, and now this one.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Just one. This is their second.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Idiot.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I think you're wrong.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I think there was one in between there. It was
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Bruce Munden last year, and that's the only one since
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Stephen Trammell, who was there for seven or eight years.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: There was one right before him. I'm going to check
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: with Mark Huntington because I think there was one. Check
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: with him and get back to him.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I can assure you that there was not.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Well, they need some stability in the program, and they
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: need some little cougars to come out and play.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: That's a fact.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Square bell. Yep. Exactly. Square bell.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I wonder how their junior high program is doing. I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: wonder if it's coming. Look it up, Evan. Go ahead.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Go to MaxPreps. If not, they're headed down the same path. Rev,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: let us know what you find out.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: We'll have Tanner put it in the show notes.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Will do. I like Tanner's show.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Next ballgame. Barnes-Dahl is at home against Quapaw. Class A-2,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: District 4. Panthers drop their second game of the year.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I mentioned a closer one at Ketchum last week, 28-20.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Barnsdall is now 4-2. They're 1-2 in that A-2 District 4.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: That is tied with Hominy for 5th in the district
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: right now. Barnsdall has two losses to two 3-0 teams
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: across that A-2-4 district. Quapaw Wildcats, they are 3-3. Just
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: beat Oklahoma Union 54-0. Have I mentioned they lost to Riverton?
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Also fell to Hominy 44-0 and Baxter Springs, Kansas as well.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: It's another team that Caney Valley beat. They've got wins
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: over Chelsea, Afton, and now Oklahoma Union. Doug Buckmaster back
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: as head coach in his own hometown of Quapaw, previously
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: at Wyandotte, and is glad to be back in Quapaw, Barnsdall, Quapaw,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Thursday night in Osage County in Class A-2, District 4.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: You guys know Doug Buckmaster?
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: No, but I watched an interview with him, and it
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: seemed like he knew what he was doing.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: He was the head coach, I think, at Joplin first
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and then went to Webb City. He was really good,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: had a lot of success at Webb City. My friend
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Kevin Carey, you know Kevin Carey. He was his defensive
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: coordinator at Webb. Well, Webb has always had a good program.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I believe it was a Pittsburgh, Kansas TV station did
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: a feature on him, so he's been in that part
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Carl Junction, he was there. A lot of success there. Now,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is that how he spells his name? D-U-G?
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I hope so. You beat me to it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure about that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: You stole my opening line. I'm sure Coach Buckmaster retired
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in Missouri, and now he's dipping, double dipping, come down to.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was at Wyandotte right before he came back.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: And he said he, this is, I assume where he
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: went to high school is where he's from, and said
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: he wanted to return there, but. Toward the tail end
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: of his career.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Which he's doing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I think I've got to point something out, Tate, unless
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: you can defend your buddy Rivard here. I think he
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: said that Coach Buckmaster, Doug Buckmaster, was also previously at
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a town called Carl Junction.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: I think Rev made that up, right?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: No, it's not. Carl Junction's right there by Joplin. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I know that. It actually goes Joplin, Webb, Carl Junction.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Doug does spell his name with an O, unfortunately.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. The notes are wrong.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You were just in a hurry. And they're really good, too, Batch.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Carl Junction's way good.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take your word for it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: They're about probably 5A in Missouri.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Remember the commercials with Terry Tate, the office linebacker, when
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: he took out Doug.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: For a long-distance call?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Doug.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: It's a long-distance call.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Doug. It was great. It was great.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: You've got to put the cover on your TPS reports.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Hi, Janice. I'm taking the Barnstall Panthers here in a
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: big win.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: This has been the worst of any of them.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You're wrong about that. You don't know what the listeners want.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: This is what they want. Hey, I'm taking the Stashes, too.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I usually go first, but I understand you were trying
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: to get the show back on track. The Stashes are
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: going to win this game, and I think they're going
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to play with a little bit of– tenacity here because
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: they're not going to be happy about the two losses.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I got them big.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and talk about last week. I mean, we talked
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: about it before we went on air. That was a
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: good game by Barnsell. I know they dropped it by eight,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: but to be honest, I had a bigger spread than that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: And they were in it late into the game, too. So,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: I'm also taking Barnsell this week. I think it's going
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: to be a good win, and I think they bounce.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Back this week.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Did you talk to Coach Sweeney this week?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I have not. He's talked to today.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have not talked to him yet. Caney Valley,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: everyone takes Barnstall against Quapaw. Caney Valley, Klassen SAS. How
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: about a matinee in Ramona? One o'clock kickoff on Thursday
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: in Ramona. Caney Valley, two and four, following a 30-8
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: loss to Commerce coming out of a bye week. Klassen
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: SAS Comets, independent, just like the Trojans, one of those
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: OSSAA dropouts. They've been A 5A program went 0-10 last
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: two years, coached by Mike Riggs. Comets do own a
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: win over Northwest Klassen, their first win since 2023. Caney
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Valley and Klassen SAS at 1 in the afternoon on
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Thursday in Ramona.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I am going to do something that I don't know
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: that I've done in the history of this show.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I would like to initially defer to you guys on
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: this pick. I just don't know what a 5A program is.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you know, is going to do with a program like
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Caney Valley.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I think I know.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, just the fact that they're 5A and,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, Northwest Classin has been a, I mean, that's wild.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to win this game.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Classin.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Just because of numbers and size and, you know, all
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: of that. But, man, how great would it be if
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Caney Valley could pop up and win one like this?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: That would be awesome. Why are they playing at 1 o'clock?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: You know why.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: It's youth rifle season on Friday, so they've got to
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: get to deer camp early. They've got some work to do.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I believe they don't have school, and they don't want
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: to drive back in the night, so they're just going
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: to play it in the afternoon.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: And it's deer season for youth on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I'm taking Caney Valley just because of that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: And it was evidently class on SES who requested it
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: to be a 1.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I bet they're worried that Caney Valley loses their lights. Oh, yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Good point, Rev.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Kind of takes them out.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: We know why they've got to play in the day.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: They want to play a full field.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: And they don't want to go that 50-yard line deal.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: They run full sprints there. Good point. Yeah, I'm taking Klaassen.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: I think just the numbers to your point, Batch, is
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: going to be too much. Klaassen, you know, I know
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: they've been down the last couple years, but, boys, they.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Used to have a pretty good team, pretty good program.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, they always had some really good recruits coming
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: out of there. But, yeah, I'm taking Klaassen for the
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: 1 o'clock game in Katy Valley.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: All right. Next ball game, Nowata and Colcord. Class A1,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: District 3 game. Ironman had their two-game win streak snapped
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: last week at Morrison, 53-21. Nowata now 1-1 and A1-3.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: They're 3-3 overall. This could be a pretty big game
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: for playoff positioning. Colcord is 1-2 in the district. They've
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: got a blowout loss to Pahuska and Pawnee. Their lone
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: win in the district was over Commerce two weeks ago.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Did win that one by 22 points. Hornets coached by
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Austin Martin. Looks like it could be for fourth place
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: in the district. Teams have a long history against one
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: another in the playoffs. Last meeting was a Colcord win
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: in the 2015 playoffs. Colcord bounced Nowata out in the
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: first round of 2A that year, 14-12. Wins for Nowata
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: also came in the playoffs in 2012, 2013, and 2004.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Those 12 and 13 wins were in the first round.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: In 04, it was a second round. Nowata win. Played
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: a regular season, two-year district series in 2000 and 2001.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Colcord won both of those ballgames. Nowata and Colcord Thursday
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: night in Nowata. And again, right now, Colcord is in
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: fifth and Nowata is in fourth in that district. Commerce
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: and Summit are both winless games. And then you've got Morrison, Pawnee,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: and Pahuska all with multiple wins. So just eyeballing, it
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: could be for fourth, which of course would be a
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: game for the playoffs looking ahead for no water.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Ironman because it's at home.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: But this should be a really great game. And like
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Evan said, there's a lot on the line. They seem
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: pretty even. Um, This could be a really good win
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: for Nowata, and I would love to see it happen,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to take them.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what I do love about this time of year
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: as well, not only is the weather cooling off, but
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: these games, I mean, we talked about it before, they matter.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: And this is, I mean, you're playing a playoff game essentially.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: These two teams on Friday night, the loser is going
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: to have a tough chance getting back in to the
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: playoff hunt.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: So you're, I mean, both teams are going to be ready.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I am going to take Nowata in a close one.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: but I could see this game going either way late.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Agreed.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for Nowata, this is a fourth-place game right here. Now,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: for Colcord, a little bit different. They could actually get
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: third place. They beat Morrison in their third place. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: they still have a chance, but if Nowata doesn't win
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: this game, they've got a huge challenge to get into
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. They'd have to end up somehow beating somebody
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't. So they need to win this game, and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Coach Martin's got them All coached up this week,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: talked to them. You're right, it is a playoff game
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: for them. I'm also going to take the Ironmen at home.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I kind of like this. If they were on the road,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I would definitely take Colcourt. I like them at home.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: All right, good luck to the Ironmen and Colcord. Our
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: game on KRIG 104.9, krigtv.com. Dewey Bulldoggers once again at
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: home against their old rival Chisholm, 2-A-1, District 1. Dewey,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: a four-game win streak, snapped in a loss at Kiefer
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: last week. Warriors beat Dewey 66-18. It was 60-0 at halftime.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Dewey did get in the end zone three times. In
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the second half, Phoenix Boulding, 42-yard touchdown, forced fumble for
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Dewey on defense, led to a 36-yard connection from Braxton
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Braden to Marshall McDaniel. So Dewey's now 4-2 overall and
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: 2-1 in 2-8-1-1. The Chisholm Longhorns also 2-1 in district play.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: They lost to Casho by 23. and lost to Fairview
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: in non-district play. They own wins over Perry, then Bethel
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: in district action. Both of those were blowout wins, and
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: they scored 42 and 70 points in the process. They
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: also own a couple non-district wins over Hennessy and Alva.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: No real history between those two schools. We talked about it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Dewey and Chisholm, team north of Enid. Longhorns visiting northern
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Washington County on KRIG 104.9, krigtv.com. Brian McSweeney and Tim
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Howell on the call.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Again, this is another really great game, another really great matchup.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take Dewey at home again. I like
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: that a tough game like this is going to be
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: right there where they'll have home field advantage. Like Rev said,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I don't anticipate Chisholm is going to travel a whole
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: ton of people. The more we talk about it, the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: weirder this game seems. um but I'm I'm taking Dewey
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I I think they're I think they're playing well I
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: think last year they or last week they ended up
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: playing a really good Kiefer team really good and so
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: yeah I got I got the Bulldogs.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah I'm going to talk a little bit about last
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: week's game that that score was the one that really
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: surprised me out of all the scores in our local
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: area anybody watch the game?
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: I did not.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Obviously, Kiefer was really good, but just 60-0 at half. Mentally,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: how do you come back from that? I know Coach
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Spalpe is going to have him ready to go. Chisholm
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: is obviously a pretty good team, too, being up 4-2.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Once again, it comes down to This is, I mean,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Dewey's fighting for their playoff lives right here. I mean,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: if they lose this one, man, you know, the schedule,
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, they still got to play Casha Hall. So
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: they have to have this one. This is going to
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: be a playoff-type week for preparation. It's a shorter week, obviously.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: But, gosh.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: But do you agree that if they win it, this
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: suddenly becomes the type of season that Dewey has been
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: working toward And at that point, everything's on the line.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because then you're fighting for the third spot.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Because, obviously, you're probably not going to beat Kesha Hall.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: That number one seed is going to be determined by
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: Kesha and Kiefer game. My guts, I'm going to go
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: with Dewey. They're going to have to play really well
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: because Chisholm is no slouch. I mean, you know, the
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: records are the same. But I'm going to take Dewey
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: at home. And I think Coach Sepulpa gets them. I
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: think they're going to have a really good week of practice.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to tell you how you mentally come
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: back from that last week. And first off, Kiefer is really,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: really good. I think the least amount of points they've
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: scored all year long is 56. In the last three games,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: they've scored over 60 or more points. So they are
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: really good. And you come back with it by Coach
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Sepulpa after the game. What I'd do is I'd put them,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: gather them around. I'd say, boys, we got that one over. Yeah,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it too much. They're a heck of
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a lot better than we are. Get your sandwich and
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: get on the bus. Let's go on to the next one.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Who cares? We got out of here healthy. We won.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And then we move on to Chisholm. Chisholm's more of a,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it's definitely a better matchup for the Bulldoggers. But like
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you said, Craig, Chisholm is good. Historically, they've been really
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: good too. And it's kind of odd. Most of the teams,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: you know, in that Enid- Edmond North area right there
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: have grown, have gotten bigger. But Chisholm has gotten smaller.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: They've lost kids, so that's a little unusual. But they're
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: still really good. Coming to Dewey for the first time
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: is going to be a little bit different for them.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever played Chisholm in football. Matter
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: of fact, I can confidently say we have not. But
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: it is definitely a playoff opportunity for the Bulldoggers. They
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: win this game. They're looking at the third spot. If
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: they lose this game, now your focus is now on
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Blackwell and Bethel. And so they win those two, they
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: get the fourth spot. So it'll be a fight for
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: those last three spots right there and Friday night's game
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: against the Chisholm Longhorns, big one for the Bulldoggers. I'm
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: going to take the Bulldoggers at home. I believe in
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Coach Sepulpa's defense. I think they can stop them and
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: get a couple turnovers and win this game.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: All right, good luck to Dewey and the Chisholm Longhorns
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: on KRIG 104.9, krigtv.com. Bartlesville on the road at Booker T.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: First matchup for the Bruins and the Booker T. Washington
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Hornets since 2023. Booker T. back in 6A2. Hornets are
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: 0-1 in district play after they ended up losing to
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Muskogee last week, 39-18. Bartlesville is 1-0 in the district.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: For the first time since the Bruins last played Booker T.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Bartlesville won their district opener in North Tulsa back in 2003.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Booker T coached by head coach Nate Goodman. Second season there.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: They went 7-4 last year and off to a 3-3
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: start this fall. So he's gone 10-7 overall. Was hired
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: in April of 2025 to replace Dan Bitson who had
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: the program going just a little bit. Booker T alum.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: He was hired from a another TPS school to run
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: that program and build some of those relationships. Looking at
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: the district, Muskogee, I mentioned, beat Booker T. Stillwater got
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: a pretty big win over Ponca City, 63-14 last week.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: We mentioned Bartlesville's 10-point win over Sand Springs. So there's
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: only six teams in the district. Muskogee, Stillwater, Bartlesville are 1-0.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Sand Springs, Ponca, Booker T are 0-1. Certainly the Hornets,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: I'll be looking to try to not start 0-2 to
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: get a win. They've got a couple Power 4 NCAA
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Division I guys, particularly on the defensive line. Joseph Graves,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Kadrian Olds, although I have heard that Olds may not
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: be able to play in this ballgame. We'll see. Those
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: guys have committed to Kansas State and Baylor, respectively. They
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: also have an offensive lineman, Phil Loldholt. who is 6'3
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: and 385 pounds on the roster as a tackle.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: There was a Lowell Holt that played at the University
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of Oklahoma.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: And that is his son, Matt Hennessey. Is that right?
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: During his coach's show.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: That is his son?
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I believe so, yeah.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Phil Lowell Holt's son.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: He was good.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: And his name was Phil, too, the dad, right?
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: That's why he's the third. Yeah, exactly, yes.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: Guys, he's the biggest human I think I've ever seen.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: The dad or the kid?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: The dad.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Well, the kid's 385 pounds. Yeah, well.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Think about that for a minute. Yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: He was a really, really, really good player. He was
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: at OU.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I remember.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: So Mitch got to know him because he was a
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: freshman after Phil Loho.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Signed that big contract.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: And he used to come back every summer and work
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: out with the team. And he's a big human being.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: So, anyway, Bartlesville, Booker T, and the Bruins. I mentioned
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: one that last meeting, but historically I've struggled against Booker T.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: They played a whole lot. I think it was 23-4.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Booker T leads the all-time series. Bartlesville had lost a
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: whole bunch in a row, but had won in 1995.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: They won in the 88 playoffs, and they won a
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: regular season matchup in 1987.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: So 87, 88, 95, and 2023 are the.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Four previous wins Bartlesville has over Booker T.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I'll say something that Evan can't, but that kid going
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: to Baylor is for sure out. He punched a kid
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: at the Muskogee game.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: He is.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: He's out.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: You can't do that? They have officially said he's out.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I won't go into the details of that, but
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: it's a great story.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: You should look it.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Up on Twitter.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I have heard that there's just some chaos within the
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: booker team program this season um and that's you know
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: as we know here in bartlesville that's not always great
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: i'm i know we joke around and i take the
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: bruins every week i think the bruins are going to
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: win this game and i think there's a lot of
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: things that work in their advantage for one thing i
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: think the rain is going to wrap up right before
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: these thursday games start well except for the one o'clock
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: game i think it'll still be raining for the 1
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: o'clock matinee at Katy Valley. But I think the rain
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: will have ended right before this game. And I think
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of that favors the Bruins' ground game, although
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: the Booker T defensive.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Line is really, really good. And I was.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Talking to some people yesterday that said that this nose
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: guard that's going to K-State is a man. And so
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I'll look forward to see how they– address that. I
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: know Coach Hennessey will have them ready, and if Booker
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: T is going to be pinning their ears back on
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: every down, those offensive coaches will be ready to address that,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Mason Fine and the team. I think Bartlesville is playing
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: really well right now. The coaches are doing a really
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: good job of getting them prepared, as we saw last
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Friday night. I'm I got the Bruins all the way.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And I got to tell you guys, I think this
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: is going to end up being a really, really important
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: win for the Bruins. And I'm looking forward to the game.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk just about last week's game
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: for just a minute. Michael Kent played the best game
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen him play. That was impressive. Some of
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the plays that he made.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Was so athletic.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was incredible. The one he flipped over,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: jumped up and just flipped it over the top of
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the O-line. I think it was his running back standing
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: right there. I think it scared the running back.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And scored right there. Just incredible play after play
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that he made. So, geez. The kid's athletic. Yep. I mean,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: he is very, very athletic. So, that was... That was
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: nice to watch. And beat Sand Springs.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: You know, as arrogant as they are.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Defending state champions.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah. And beat them. That game never felt
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: like it was out of control for the Bruins. I mean,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: it's like they had complete control of it the entire time. Yes. And,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to score at the end of
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the game because they're trying to get their 15 points.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of a– That.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Confused me briefly, but then I figured it out.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: It can.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I thought, what are they doing?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, where you're trying to get those points.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: This is not a good clock management.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: And in this district, that stuff means a lot. I mean,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: there's a good potential for a tie. And it could
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: be a three-way tie.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Rev, I also thought Bowdoin Roberts played his best game.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I agree. Start to finish, especially defensively.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: The offensive numbers are going to jump out, but his
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: defensive presence in that game was a difference maker.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Both of those two boys played very well.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: It was fun. So it was a great win for
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the Bruins.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: And really cool, if I could insert, really cool for
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Jennifer Rivard to get honored by one of the kids.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: That was really touching. I love reading that name. Man,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: that stuff that Coach Hennessy does with.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: That is really cool. That's right.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: To honor.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Their coach that they lost before the game that everybody
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: knew so well was really cool. I don't know if
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: you heard me say it over the PA, but his
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: mom for 42 years had been to every single game
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: that he coached or played in. This was the first
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: football game of any kind that she had gone.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: To since he died, which was really cool.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Sorry to interrupt.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: No, that's a great story. I'm glad you shared that
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: with us.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: That was nice.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: This week playing Booker T, guys, Booker T is without
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: their best player, could be without their second best player,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: and Booker T is so undisciplined, it's not going to matter.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: The Bruins, just maintain your composure, let them fall into
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the trap, and get that extra 15 yards every series
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: or every other series. It's going to happen. They're so undisciplined.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: And so that's where the Bruins have a huge advantage.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I've got the Bruins all the way here. Matter of fact,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I got Sand Springs beating Booker T when they play.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: So I like the Bruins. If they win this or
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: when they win this football game, it's going to put
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: them in a great spot to win this district, guys.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's huge.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Get a first-round buy.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: What a crazy– Conversation.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. To win a district.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: We won't have that conversation, but it's going to put
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: them in a good position. Yeah.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: We're 30 seconds away from being 5-1.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I know it.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Think about that.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I know it.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, we gave that game away.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, talk about last week a little bit to your point. Yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Michael Kent, I thought, played outstanding. I think the offensive
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: and defensive scheme by the coaches, you could tell they
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: were prepared. I know last week, talking to Stryker, the
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: defense– defensive coaches put some extra time in last week.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: They knew they had to have a really good game plan.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: So it just goes to show, I think you are starting, no,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: not starting, you're seeing some of that coaching staff that
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: we talked about early, starting with Hennessy all the way down,
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: you're really starting to see the difference in the play,
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: in the scheme, in the discipline, just.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Total overall football team.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: Michael Kent, compared to where he was the first couple
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: games to where he is now, it's not even the
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: same kid playing. And I think you're seeing Mason Fine,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: that comfortability, that relationship really starting to– I mean, he's
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: a Mason Fine kid now. So you're seeing some just
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: really good decisions. Obviously, he's just lighting up scoreboard and
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: total yards and passing and running. And, you know, he's
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: not getting out there and playing– Little League football and.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Try and do it all himself.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Leads the state.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and in just about every category there is. I
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: think Bowdoin Roberts had a really, really good game. It
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: was good for him to have a breakout game for offense.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: We need him catching those 10 to 15 yards and
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: let his big body and athleticism extend it into a
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: big play. This week, I think the coaches... Each week
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: as a coach, you've got to find a way to
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: motivate your kids because it is a long season, right?
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: So I know Barzill's not been in this position since
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: 2015 that these games matter. Not only just getting into
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, right? We've been in the playoffs the last
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: three or four years, but to be honest, that didn't count.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: No disrespect to the players, but at the end of
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: the day, it's just.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: A watered-down playoff system. OSSAA.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: But we've got a chance to win the– we win–
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: And I'm picking them. We win Thursday. And then we
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: beat PC. And think about the drama here. Muskogee potentially
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: could be for the first round.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. That
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Ponca City game is going to be tough.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: It sure is.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: Always.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: It's always a brawl.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: And obviously, we've talked about that coach before. But Barzal,
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: I think, is a better football team than Ponca. And
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: in years past, I think we're a better football team.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: But we just did not. From a coaching perspective and
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: X's and O's, I felt like we let some games
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: get away over the last three or four years. But, yeah,
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, Barzill's rolling. Coach Hennessy's got them going. And
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: those kids are believing and they're buying in. And now
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: we're going to start to get some linebackers back. You know,
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: we're going to get some kids back off of the
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: injury list. So just a lot of momentum going for Barzill.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: So I'm picking Barzill this week.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: You know, Rev, to your point about Michael Kent, I
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: kind of knew and hoped it was going to be
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: a good night. And you know, again, Tate talks about
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Mason Fine all the time and some of the predictable
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: things he does. He's going deep on the first play
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: of the game. And they had the ball at the 35.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: And Michael Kent threw a bomb there. that was absolutely
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: thrown on a dime in stride to Price Lusk, who
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: just barely dropped it at the 15-yard line. I mean,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: that's a 55-yard heave that was.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: Thrown on a rope.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I couldn't believe Price Lusk dropped it. There
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: was a defender close.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: And I think he was maybe even a little bit
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: surprised that ball was thrown so well. And you thought
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: at that time, man, That was a pretty.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Good pass by Michael.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: It might be a good night.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing that I also like is that he's
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: spreading the ball around, right?
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: In the first year, we know how Price came out,
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, Clarenmore shuts down Price.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: He really didn't have another option. Now you're starting to
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: see some other players start to step up. E-Man, we
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: know that athletically, he's probably one of the very best
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: that Barzil has. He obviously is starting to make some
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: really good plays. Bowden Roberts is starting to get involved,
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: so All of a sudden, it's easy to go bracket,
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: double cover, price like Clare Moore did and just take
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: him out of the game and make Marswell run, right?
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Because we're small up. Yeah.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: When you start to have a two and three and
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: four head receiving core. Agreed. And then obviously we know
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: that the running backs are just playing, you know, Mathis
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: is playing well. Logan's playing well. I mean, there's just,
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: it's starting to be a different offense. Not starting to.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: It is a different offense to game plan for than
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: what it was week two, week three.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: I'm just telling you.
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: And then you throw Mason Fine in there, and then
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: also Micah Kent as far as how he's spreading the
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: ball around. Then he can also run the ball. As
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: a defensive coach, I'm sitting there going, what do you
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: do to slow him down here?
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's easy.
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: The first of the season, we're like, we all know
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: they're small, so okay, let's just put bigger kids up front.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: Let's control the line of scrimmage. Well, you can't do
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: that because Arona Mount, and he's athletic enough to get
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: out there, making the right decisions to win the run,
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: win the throw, check down the number two, number three.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: It's really impressive.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, don't forget about Coach Purtle either. Oh, no, 100%.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: He does just as much. He's a good one. He is.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I always laugh and say, well, Mason wouldn't be famous
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: and have all those numbers without Purtle.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: In high school and college.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Together.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: He's the one who called all the balls.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: And you guys may have mentioned it, but Coach Hennessy
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: and I had a conversation that was pretty similar to
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: what you guys just had about how the defense or
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: offense is different in mid-October than it would have been
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: in early September, and I think a lot of credit
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: also goes to the offensive line. That's a group that's
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: been pretty much the same now for two or three years,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: but you can tell how much better they are in
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: mid-October of 2026 versus basically the same group from the
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: last year or two with different coaching and getting older
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: and bigger and stronger. They've been a really... He's had
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of time, a lot of times.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: To throw the ball.
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: And, you know, Hennessy says he's got probably the best
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: offensive line coach. He's young, but probably– and for Hennessy
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: to say that I think is pretty impressive. But you
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: can see how they're playing. I mean, and to your point,
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: you know, you've got Chambers, you've got Holmes, you've got Hancock.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, you've got some kids that it's the same
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: five for the full year. So, knock on wood, they're
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: all healthy. They're getting better. They've got a ton of experience.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: So– You know, let's talk about that 1988 game. That
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: was one of the best, well, it's my most memorable
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: high school football playoff game because it was in the quarterfinals.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: We beat Muskogee in the first round. Went to Booker T,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: who had the Brooks kids and his little brother, Tony
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: and Reggie, were both on that same team. They were favorite.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: They were number one team in the state. We had
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: an hour and a half lightning delay. And it was just,
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, you talk about a knockdown, dragout. I mean,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: ask your good buddy, Bob Phillips.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, I remember it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Rigdon was on that team as well.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: He was staying on the sideline.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, we won 20-12, and I'll never forget, fourth
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: and four, Dennis.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: Littleax, our fullback.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: We were loaded with the tailback and the receiver, and
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: that sucker got hit in the backfield.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: You guys had Mitch Miller, right? No, Mike.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Mark Miller. Mark Miller.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: And, yeah, they had He was a stud.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: They had me.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: They had Mark Gentry, Mark Nash, Victor LaFleur. I mean,
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: we were stacked.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: You had to go through all of them. Did you
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: have a Yardley?
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: He was just a baseball player. Randy. I remember him
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: playing baseball. Oh, yeah.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: He was a heck of a baseball player. I don't
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: think he played football, though. Yeah. Did he?
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: And Mark Yardley would have been a sophomore.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: So, anyway.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: What happened the next week? Yeah. Well. I can tell
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: you that.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Ike or Hyde?
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: Ike.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Lotton High, we have no chance. That was the year before.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: That was arguably the best.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: High school football team. I can tell you, Billy May
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: got his face mask broken in that game. It's the
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: first time I've ever seen that happen.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: And then Lotton Ike, we just, I think we got 27-39.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: We just didn't play well. We were the favorite going in.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Can I say something real quick about this Bruin team?
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Back to the Bruins. Back to the current Bruins.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: One last thing.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: I got a text. I'm not going to mention who
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: it was from, but somebody that has no They're older, 70s,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: and no affiliation kids on the team, grandkids on the team,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: nothing like that.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: They just go to every game.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: And he sent me a text on Saturday and said,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: the thing that I notice that's different about this Bruin
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: team than lots of Bruin teams I've been watching over
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: the last several years is they're disciplined. He said, Batch,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I want you to tell me the last time you remember.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: There have been a few. But I want you to
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: tell me the last time you remember them getting a
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: false start penalty on offense. He said, you won't come
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: up with one. And he said, certainly not very many,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: if any, unsportsmanlike conduct, anything like that. I mean, there
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: were games last year where we had nearly 200 yards
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: just in personal foul penalties. And you do not see
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: any of that. And he said that's how you can
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: tell about how.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: A team is coached.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've had a lot of coaches reach out. Broken
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: Arrow coaches reached out last week just going, gosh dang,
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: what a culture change. I had a couple college coaches
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: that used to be here or has a Barzill tie
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: just go, man, gosh dang, you know, 30 seconds away
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: from being 5-1. I tell you one of the coolest
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: things is how at halftime they all sprint in, including coaches.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: I know it.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: They sprint in. Instead of that walkout and dragging your helmet.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: It's really cool to see.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: That is one of my favorite things. Yeah.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: I would not be sprinting in. I would be. Yeah,
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: I would actually.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: So it's a three-way Bruin pick?
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: Okay. Not even close. That's awesome.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: We'll have it for you Thursday night, K1, K1TV. com. Tanner
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: may be in the rain. We'll see.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, listen, at least he's going to show up. That
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: hasn't always been the case. He hung his guy out
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: to dry last week. He had to do the game.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: All on his own.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: I know. He had a concert to go to.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Freaking Tanner.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: Well, let's get Tanner's. take on the game this week.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: No, wait a minute.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. You went to a concert rather than
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: do the game?
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: Here we go.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: He's settling in, man. This poor kid.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: He had to do the play-by-play and the color all
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: on his own.
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I did feel pretty bad about that.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Did you, though? Yeah, I did.
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: What concert? The concert I was going to.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Hold the mic up.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: My bad.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: The concert I was going to was in March. It
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: was like March 13th or something. And then a guy
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: on the band got sick. They rescheduled it all the
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: way to October.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: So who was it?
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: It was Houndmouth. Not a lot of people know.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Sorry?
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: But it was something me and my brother were.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: I thought about missing the board game for that Houndmouth concert.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: So that was my.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: But... Take the mic.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I'll bet he was going to go see Ella Langley
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: this week too.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Ella's fellas.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Jeez. I bet he's in Ellis, fellas.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: Yardley.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: I know. Just when we thought we'd turn the corner
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: with you. You don't need to see Hound's mouth.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: He's more of the Ella Langley guy.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: I'm in Ella Langley.
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: You're in Ellis, fellas.
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: He lasts that every time we're driving an away game.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I was with Lanie Wilson last Thursday. You like her, too?
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Not as much as Ella Langley.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know who she is.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: Breakdown for the Bartlesville game.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: All right. Yeah.
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: Michael Kent, he reminded me a lot of not, of course,
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: exactly like Drew Messmaker, but the way that he's controlling
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: the game and able to take over.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Well, and, but no, you're right. And he's, you know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: and he is not afraid to run into trouble. I mean, he,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: you know, they throw their bodies around a lot.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: And he's pretty gutsy on his deep balls, and he
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: has good receivers to make up for those gutsy plays.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: And Mason Fine has done a good job instilling that
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: into them.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Let's transition to sixth grade, Bruin White, because not only
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: are they having a great season, they have taken down
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: a couple of the giants that have loomed over them
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years, and that's a big deal.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about that Skytook game.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the last four weeks, obviously, I mean, we keep
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: talking about, you know, we beat a three-time champion, beat
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: a three-time finalist, beat a two-time finalist. So we– last
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: week was Skytook, which they have had our number for
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: the last four years. So it was a big win, 122-6.
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: We played there. They're coached well. I know their coach.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: They had a great plan to keep our offense off
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: the play. We only had 18 offensive snaps.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: The entire game?
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Wait, really?
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what they did is they just lined up and
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: doubled tight and wished basically the diamond. And they've got
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: a great running back, his brother, who just ran for
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: a school record 340 yards, you know, last Friday for Skytuck.
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: Fudge is just a great runner. Great athletic. Both of them,
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: just studs. But, yeah, so it was 6-6 at halftime.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: We had a couple touchdowns called back.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: And then the second half, our kids just came out.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: The thing that, it's a really good bunch. It's a
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: great set of parents. But the thing that these Bruins do,
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: they don't get rattled.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: And I know kids, I mean, this is my 22nd
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: year going through this. Kids can get rattled. You get behind.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: adversity happens, these kids don't miss a beat. It's just
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: like they forget about that play and they just go on.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Be a goldfish.
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: Second half, they came back out and just controlled the game.
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: And Dorsey and Cam Durant and, I mean, I could
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: just name just a ton of kids. They just came
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: out and controlled. Gunnar Sutherland, our quarterback, controlled it. Telling you,
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: probably Gunnar's last year when they played him in the semifinals, just,
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, just got. It was probably Gunner's worst game,
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: but he came out and just controlled it. So, yeah,
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: I'm proud of him.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Where do we got this week?
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: We had a team forfeit.
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: So Metro Christian does not want to play us, so
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: we're on a bye week, which kind of stinks for
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: the kids. We were going to get a lot of
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: playing time for a lot of kids, but we control
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: what we can control.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Don't know much about Metro Christian, but I will tell
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: you this. I think the parents need to look into
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: their hearts and figure out what kind of team they want.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: To have, be affiliated with.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: Well, they started with 16. They've got four kids with
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: broken bones. I understand. I mean, yeah, we would have
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: liked to play him because we would have kept the
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: starters in.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: For a series.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Some extremely suspect pairs.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: But let's also talk about softball. No kidding.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, noon Thursday.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: So depending upon when you listen to this, it may
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: be going on or about to happen or whatever. Bartlesville
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: faces Broken Arrow. The send-off will be at 3 o'clock
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: Wednesday afternoon now. They did move it back because of
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: the rain. It was supposed to be this morning. Tough matchup,
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: 35-0 Broken Arrow. I think that they're a top-ten team
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: in the country, according to a few different publications. They
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: have played Bartlesville twice, and the Lady Bruins gave them
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: a game or two in that span. They were in
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Bartlesville's district. Lady Bruins finished second. Broken Arrow won the thing. Anyway,
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: How does it work?
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Is it single elimination? It is.
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: So it is single.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Actually, I'm glad you meant it. I just read while
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: we were on the show, they've moved. I was wrong.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: They've moved everything back a day. Sorry, I just saw
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: that while we were sitting here. So the games are
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: now going to be Friday, Saturday, and I think Monday.
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: Let me double check. I think they moved it back
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: because of the weather. Actually, just now.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Apparently, this complex in Shawnee is unbelievable. So they're hosting.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: This is kind of cool. They're hosting every class.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Friday, Saturday, Monday.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: So the entire.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Softball playoffs are at this place. And apparently it's like
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: they've got built-in stands for almost every one of these fields.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: And there's like 18 fields. I guess it's really cool.
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: That is cool.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: And so having every class there is kind of awesome.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: That's great for the town.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Dewey has played. When Dewey made their run a few times,
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: they made state. They were at that same.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I think they're all turf fields, too.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: I was a little surprised that they called it off
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: so early because of that.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: We were playing, I know we talked about this last year,
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: but we were playing in the chamber legislative tournament out
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: at Boots Hollow. And, you know, the softball field is
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: right there at Madison. And when they clinched, when they
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: won the game, the place just absolutely went up in
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: a roar. And we were at a place where you could,
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: there were kind of three holes right there together. And
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: everybody kind of turned and looked over there like, what's
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it was cool.
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is cool.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Good luck.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: A lot of good stuff happening in Barsville.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: No kidding.
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: Go out and support your kids, your local community.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Volleyball season ended last night.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: It ended. Yeah, tough loss to Union. Young team. Yep,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: young team. I'll be back. Yep.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: I love the fall.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: I love this time of year.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Good luck to the teams. Well, that was something. It
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: was the best show we've maybe ever done. It was. Thanks, guys.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Good luck.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, you were mentioned.
