  Speaker 2: them from that list.

  Speaker 2: world and literally the world.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Guys.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Before we get into the ball games and pick those,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the off season a little bit. Transfer
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: rules of course a big part of the off season,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and in high school football it's affected some of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: schools close to us, and then of course the big
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: redistrict team. First off, we're in a too a new
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: two period, so everyone was going to read district anyway,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: but everything got kind of thrown into flux late in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the spring. I guess that was April, or may I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: believe well, I think it was April when the private
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: schools won their lawsuit against the OSSAA, so they all
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had to be dropped down to what their actual enrollment
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: numbers were, which meant they had to shuffle around everything
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at the last minute after the districts and classifications had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: already been set. That did affect a few of our
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: local schools, and those were probably the two biggest things
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: as far as headline goes. Headlines to go excuse me
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for high school football across the area.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I know we've had some crazy offseasons, and I want
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to hear from both of you guys that have coached
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a long time and what your perspective is on all this.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But I got to tell you, just having visited some
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: practices and watched some scrimmages and stuff, there are kids
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: everywhere from everywhere.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: It's chaos.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I mean there's Bartlesville kids at Dewey, there's Dewey kids
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: at Bartlesville. There's people going all over the place where,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: whether they're driving to school someplace else every day or
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: do an online. It has created absolute havoc and I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: don't remember an off season being this crazy.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I think that I think it's going to settle down
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: as time goes on. I mean, this was the first
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: year of it where you could transfer or go do
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: what you want all that stuff. I think over time,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I hope it would settle down. My advice to you
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: coaches is to start with your youth football programs, in
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: your junior high programs. Be active in those programs, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: those kids will play together and stay together. If they
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: play together, they stay together. But they also need your
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: leadership schools more than ever. You know, you got to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: keep coaches around. There's got to be consistency. If you
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: have turnover, whether it's assistant coaches, head coaches, it doesn't matter.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: If you have constant turnover, there's that unstability there that
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the kids are gonna leave. You know, that gives a
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: kid an opportunity to leave when it coach leaves. That's
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: just that's just how it works. So be active in
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: your youth football programs and you should do that anyway,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: as well as your junior high programs. And I think
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: most of our coaches, you know, area coaches are and
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: be active in your community, and uh, they won't leave.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: That's it, because you're gonna build a better program and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: you're gonna grow it and it's gonna happen. Well, now
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the rule itself. I really to be honest with you,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it would affect us in the bars
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Ville area as much as it actually did. You know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I thought it would be more Tulsa. You'd see Tulsa
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Memorial kids going to a Waso or Jinx or you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: it would kids like that. We're close. But I was
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a little surprised that some of the number of kids
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: who you know, switch schools or did whatever.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I've got a lot to say on the transfer.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: But Evan, how long do we have hour?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Not that long?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think it's horrible. I would love to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: know the reasoning with the decision makers of why they
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: may try to get sued a transfer. Well, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: that's just part of it. You know how many parents
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: have been suing the school districts for the last twenty
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: five years. There's absolutely no reasoning for the betterment of
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the kid and the parents of why it transfers all out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: If you want to move because you don't like the coaches,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: you deal with adversity, you know. I mean, you've had
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: parents think that little Johnny's going to be the next
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Johnny Manziel, So they deal with a little adversity. Maybe
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: they don't start they're not playing the position they think
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the coaches are playing favorites. And never in my history
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: have I ever seen a coach play favorites because their
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: job depends on it. They're going to put the best
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: eleven on offense, the best eleven on defense every time
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to win the game. But these parents, all of a sudden,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: they are sending the horror message to the kids going, hey,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: it's not your fault. Well you want something either not
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: good enough, didn't work hard enough, has a bad attitude.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Something At the end of the day, they're gonna put.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's never the exes and o's, it's the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Jimmies and Joe's on the field. So coach is gonna
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: put the best Jimmies and Joe's out there. So now
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I hate it in college. I hate it in high school. Boy. Now,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: if it came down the youth football, I'd be away.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: If a fourth grade player wanted to join fourth grade bird.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: White, yeah, that would be okay after he reads a
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: forty No, but seriously, think about this and youth football.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: If if you play on a team, you start on
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: a team, you have to finish with that team, unless
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: you write letters to the NFC director and he meets
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: face to face, and then all of a sudden there
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: is a controversy between a personal But I'm telling you,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: one out of one hundred, I guarantee it goes in front.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Chad Lode is accepted. And I can think of that
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: one time and it was actually not in our program,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: but a parent was suing one of the coaches because
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: they did some general contract work.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: It was outside of Oh yeah, I play.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: So the rule is, hey, if if you don't want
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: to be on this team, you got to sit out
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: two years, not just one two years, which I don't
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: agree with because two years, but anyway, it's just crazy.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Well that that was my question to you, not Hawk,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: What would you agree if a kid got to transfer
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: schools but had to set out like it used to be?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Is that one year? Is it a semester? I don't
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: know exactly, but I think that is. I think that's fair.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: You know, it's there's a running back that's gonna a
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: junior for Barzow this year. That's gonna be a great
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Blair him sit out last year. Yeah, yeah, I just
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: think that it's a you know, it's the end the day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's bigger than high school sports. And we're
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: all in the working environment. How many times have we
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: had a boss that we didn't like, but we have
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: to make a decision. Hey do I just stick it
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: out for my career because it's adversity, that's life, man,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: We in with it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Nighthawk absolutely jumped my point that I was about no
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I love it because what we're doing, and we don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: need to.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Talk about this the whole show, but we could.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: What we're doing is we're training quitters, correct, we are
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: training them to quit. It started at the collegiate level.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I agree with you wholeheartedly, and I hated it there,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and I cannot believe it has trickled down to the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: point where we are actually now telling society that it's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: okay for you to run just run.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it all goes I mean we can, yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: we can look back and we can talk forever, but
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: it all goes back to you know, this is a
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: result of COVID, And you're like, well, what do you mean. Well,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: when COVID happened and went through the pandemic, the world
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: was given so many options. You know, do I want
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to go in and get my pizza eat it? Do
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I want to park in the parking lot they bring
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: it to me? Do they?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: The kids were given options and we trained them Do
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you want to go to school or do you want
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: to stay home from school? So now it's extended into sports,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: last year with college and now on to high school.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: And I hate it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: We can hate it. We can hate it and all
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that we say. But guys, we train these kids to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: do this. We can't be mad at the kids.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Oh I'm not mad at kids, society. I'm mad at
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I'm mad well, First, I'm mad at the decision makers
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: at the state level that allowed. Second, I'm not even
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't even going to bring their name up. But
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: you know, if you go back in the history, COVID
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: has changed that. It's a world of convenience. Whatever's easiest
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: for me. But I still get rewarded. I mean, let's
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: go back. Let's go back to the greatest generation World
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: War two. Look at the generation that was created from
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: that instead our society and foot and it's just trickled
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: down to the high school football now and drives me crazy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: So well, let's talk about because I've seen kids over
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the years abuse it and they transfer. I've known kids
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: that have transferred four different schools in four years and
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: it just drives and it drives every coach crazy because
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: he's you know, the parents are suing that well he
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: should be here in this and anyway.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I know, to real quick before we move on, I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: know two kids who are both seniors that have moved
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: for their senior year.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Of high school, which is the best.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And they are not attending a single class on the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: campus that they moved to in air quotes and are
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: doing all their classes online.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: They're not going to be a single other student. They're
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: not going to be in student council, they're not going
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: to be in homecoming. All they do is go to
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: practice every day and play football.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. Well, now that everyone's off everyone else's lawn.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: What about the redistrict? Yes, let's talk about the redistrict.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, And and the new rule that that was handed down,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and uh, as Evan mentioned, the private schools were on
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: a court case saying that they if they what was it,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: if they finished in the semi finals for.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Two years, if you did well about you were bumped up.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Bumped up. So now they did away with that. The
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: timing of it was absolutely just terrible. It was horrible.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: You know, it's the last two weeks of school and
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: uh no, you do not play in this district. And
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, only do you're not playing this district,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: you're not playing in this class. That's what happened to cover.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: So now everybody's scrambling what do we do? And uh,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: but they all manage it well and their schedules figured
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: it out, you know. But I would hate to have
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: been a head coach trying to find James and oh
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: my gosh, that's terrible. But you know, the rule, it
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: is what it is. Or do the private schools have
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: an advantage? Yes, they do, they do they now they
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: still well, you're that's.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: A good point.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Kind of put some backs on the gust.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're good. That's a good point. But some of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: them got advantages, especially the small moments. Their facilities are incredible.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, support everything that they have, you know that
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: that public schools can't offer. Right now, myself, I don't
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: have a have a you know, I'm I'm It's okay
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: with me because I always had to play those schools regardless.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: You know, go to cash Hall. We went to the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: semi finals and we thought we were really good and
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: we don't cross the forty till five minutes left in
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the game. You know, they with us.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Just think if you would have had Nighthawk as your
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: offensive coordinator.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Way good. Our offensive coordinator could have stopped those two
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: tight ends were shot out of cannons every time. The balls.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Anyways, so we'll move on, and and you combine that
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: with the rule that was already in place that I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: think some people who maybe don't follow this day to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: day get confused on is that they split to A,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: A and B and that was already going to be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the case. This has nothing to do with that. But
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: now instead of having some of those sixty four team classifications,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: those a lot of those are thirty two, and then
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: some of them are even less than that. I know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: for instance, Copin and Wesley and Christian School they are
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: in B two instead of C and they are in
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: sixteen districts, so six is only.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Going to six two still sixteen, No, but it's an.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Eight team district, but six make the playoffs, so it's different.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: But yeah, kind of the same, which I agree with
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: thoughts four team. You know, for years past, there's always
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: been how come god playoffs seem like they go forever
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: in that in that division. So they cut it down,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: you know, to thirty two, which is going to shorten that,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: I would assume. You know, they go for the top
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: four out of four and have sixteen teams in the playoffs.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Well, and part of it sixty four teams in one class.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, everybody has always griped about that. Yeah, you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: is it fair that six A has sixteen?
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Six A one is sixteen and two A is sixty four.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: That's a lot, I believe.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Now if my math is right, there's twelve classifications twelve yeah,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: which oh really yeah, that's six A, six A one,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: five A, four A three A two A one.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I can't believe the OSSA is going to buy rings
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: for that many state championship. Well, once again, and this
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: is honest of God's story, guys, honest.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Of God, my friend, I believe that was your thought.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: One of my friends, one of the state championship, he
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: just told me this story about two weeks ago. In baseball.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: This year they won the state championship. The OSSA would
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: only buy them fifteen rings. So when they presented them
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the rings, they had to give one and then he
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: had to hand it that off the other end. And
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the school is responsible for buying rest the rings. I said,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: how much did these costs? He said, they were sixteen
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: dollars apiece.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: My gosh, you they were.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Sixteen dollars a piece my fantasy football ring, I know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and they could not buy them more.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Rings, Like, oh my, that's incredible.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: That's a whole you know, we can have a whole
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: other about these rings because I love my kid, my grandkid,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: and Elijah plays Bomber's name, and he's got sixty two rings,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: I know, and his freaking metroom.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Stupidest thing I've ever seen, these two these youth baseball
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: tournaments given out. You get a ring, the honest thing
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: In Oh, we got them little junkie trophies. I'd rather
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: have a ring than a little junkie.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And you only got junkie trophy if you won the tournament,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and you may not get.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: One, then exactly how much how much more ribbon?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: How much more money does the OSSA make off of
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: twelve classifications were at the playoffs and then in six A,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: now two more teams making and now in basketball everything
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is double elimination instead of so you have a team
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it's one in twenty three that has to play two
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: playoff games.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Guys, one thing wins the state championship. Now there's twelve
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: in this and double elimination put them all back in
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the hayfield. If you play sports comping off their two divisions,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: get better.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: About all right, let's get into some of the ball
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: games now zero week action across the state. We will
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: begin this week where we're usually in with Bartlesville because
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the Bruins are the only Thursday night game that we
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: will pick Bartlesville that's on the road. At Newcastle, BHS
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: has gone five and seven each of Harry Wright's first
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: two seasons at the Helm. Newcastle is new to five A.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: They moved up from four A to five A. Last year.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: The Racers went nine to three. Of course, Bartlesville coming
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: off a playoff loss to Edmund Deer Creek. Newcastle had
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a playoff win over my wife's Alma monter, the Elk
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: City Big Elks, and then lost to Poto in the playoffs.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Racers are playing their first ever six A opponent Everurrise,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: first time they've ever played Bartlesville. I watched them before
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: they yeah, probably so well. They were were recent for it. Yeah,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: they were two A, three eight not long ago.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I get Newcastle tied Edmund Memorial and a scrimmage lost
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to Carl Albert Prittley handily. I watched that Bartlesville played
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Bishop Kelly and a scrimmage tied Newcastle six to five. Quarterback,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: first year starter returning running back. You ran for about
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards last year. Buruins are one and one
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and Harry Wright's season openers previously against Clarenmore. Lost to
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the Zebras last year and beat them in twenty twenty two.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Bartlesville at Newcastle go ahead.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: This will be an interesting matchup, I think for togay
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: talk because Barts was. You know, they've got some new
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: guys and new holes that they have to fill, both
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: offensively and defensively. Now I know the scrimmage last week.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Defensively they flew a round and their their team speed
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: looked really good and so they were pretty impressive defensively. Offensively,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: they've got some spots that they're going to have to feel.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously the running back spot. That's a huge,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: huge area that they're gonna have a field. I'm assuming
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: what's the what's the running backs name? Now? What's he's good? Williams? Williams? Yes,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I like watching that kid play, I really do. I mean,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: he can hew center gravity, he does like that on
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the golf course.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: He is a super Yeah something I did on your video.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Everybody that right, Well, congratulations, but I didn't know that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Sydney of course has married my daughter, so suddenly
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: didn't soon to be. Yeah, he's he's a really good kid.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: He is a great uh summer. Yeah, and I'm telling you, uh,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: his lower body looks like you're right, he does.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: You, guys, I'm gonna give you.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you guys a little hope here too. Okay,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: So not only is Sutton Williams really good, Asher Swisher
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: is really good. Oh yeah, and apparently I called him
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: his dad's name at the game and when he scored,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I said, I heard that was an idiot.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: But there's a.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Freshman running back who is going to get time that
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: tore it up the other night at the scrimmage.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: They've got three really good Yeah, that's good.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: This.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the freshman's name, Evan, remember kids will
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Jit and he carried dudes?
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Is that the z?
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Absolutely is he is?
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: He new?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, just transferred in. Okay, Yeah, because.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Dayton Stevens, Steven Stephen.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: It was impressive.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's know what a kid, isn't he? And I
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: think he here.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: For a fourteen year old. He looks the part too.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of like we need watch David
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Castille as a freshman, You're like, man, that guy, that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: kid's another level. Dayton Stevens doesn't look like the other freshman.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Now he's you know, I know they. I think the
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: offense is gonna be better than what it has last year.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: I mean because I think the chemistry of that offense
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: and that whole team is going to be night and
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: day difference. And if it's not, then that's gonna be
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: totally on Coach Wright and his staff. But I think
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: with those another year, those kids are a year older
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: plus kids between sophomore and junior year. It's definitely where
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: you see the biggest difference. They start to be men.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: They're shaving and I've seen that in the offseason with
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: those two kids, and then the quarterback. I mean, I
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: think it's so. I think they're gonna be explosive.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Do either of you guys get a chance to see
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: any of it? Friday night?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I'll watch some of them, Okay, So and Evan, I
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: want to see if you agree with this.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Nate.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Nate looks better. He is.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: He's still kind of a ratic a little bit in
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: where he's thrown it, but he's throwing it tight and
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: he looks stronger, he looks a lot, a lot more confident,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: looks he's making smarter choices. And again, this is just
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a real short scrimmage fifteen minute running clock, which I
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: didn't really get because it went like that. But I'm
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: telling you, he looked more poised and and I'm with you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I think I think the offense will be better and
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the way the defense was playing aggressively if they if
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: they stick with it, I think they'll they'll be able
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: to hold their own. Now, Newcastle is a formidable opponent.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: They're good, you know, and Edmund Memorial is good. And
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: so for them to come out of a scrimmage tied
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: with them being a class down and having these two
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: real good skilled players is going to be tough. And
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: starting on the road is tough, you know.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: All that new place. I know it's gonna be different,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: for sure. But I'm want to take the Bruins. Guys, No,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I am too, for sure. Yeah, we kind of cut
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: you off.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: A week, coach.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Sorry, we take the Ruins.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm taking them too.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm only taking them by a field goal.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's it?
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, do you want to bet lunch? On it. Yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: talk about Nate, talk about the offseason and the offseason.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Of all these Bruins, Nate is one of the strongest.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I bet you he's one of the if not the
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: strongest on the team per body weight. Then I'd be shocked.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: But I kind of kept up with their maxis and everything.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: He is a very he he was in the top three.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Or four at champions he was top three.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so on that when they did their clean they
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: he was one of the last explosive.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: So that also tells me that going into a senior year,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: he knows that it's his team. It's his senior year.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Quarterback has got to be the one that's the leader
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: of the team. And I think he accomplished that, accomplished
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: his goal, and I know the coaches he accomplished his
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: goal as being a leader of you know, and you
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: start in that in that weight room, I'm picking Barbersville.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I think they're just absolutely gonna roll over them. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: think the defense is.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Who I love that. Yeah, Idhawk coming out strong.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean to be honest, I mean there's a
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: difference in classifications for a reason, and they just came
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: up from four A and just five years ago there
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: were three a first time to play six A. I
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: think it's just absolutely and this reminds me a lot
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: of when twenty ten senior class of Mitch and Kirby
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: and those guys, and we started on the road at
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Shawnee who just won the state championship, and I think
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: it was a forty four to six. I mean, it
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: wasn't even a competitive game. I don't think this is
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: gonna be a competitive game, not unless Barzil shoots themselves
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: in the foot. But I think they've corrected a lot
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: of that and I think they're going to roll them.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So everyone takes the Bruins at Newcastle. Of course, we'll
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: have that one on K one k onetv dot com
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Let's go to the Friday night contest.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: We will begin with Oklahoma Union and call Court Cougar's
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: won that Week ten matchup with Chelsea last year, beat
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: him fifty four to twenty snapped, but was almost a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: two year losing skid. Had not won from November fifth,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one till November second of twenty twenty three
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: last year, when they beat Chelsea by thirty four, so
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: went one to nine pretty much have everyone back. How
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: about Stephen Trammell having been at Oklahoma Union now for
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: seven years. Call Cord, though good opponent ten and two,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: lost to Woodland by four in the second round of
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the Class A playoffs last year.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: They have a.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Big group of seniors that have gone thirty two and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: six over their call Cord careers. Oklahoma Union at home
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: against cal Court.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma Union this season, guys, this will Yeah. They never
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: have more than three games. They had a boy more
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: than three games. This is it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: I thought you were gonna say they're gonna double up
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: their win total.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: They're gonna win.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: He was gonna pick them against more than three.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I can't pick him against call Cord because that's fair.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: You know, they're they're a little bit better.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Did your buddy at Chelsea keep his job job after
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: losing to Oklahoma Union last year?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: No he did not?
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, he lost his job the year before that.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Okay last year? No, okay. And as a matter of fact,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I think the superintendent was the head football coach. Okay,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: hack a Bush.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I like I should get fired fire everybody.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I would I fire myself. I'm the superintendent.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: I'm fired football If I'm with you on Oklahoma Union.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I think with that many guys back, they can't do
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: anything but a prove.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: This is not a good opener.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be no, no, But.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to talk about them after this week.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's non district right right right, it's an oprah.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be tough for Oklahoma Union. And
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I'm also gonna go with Cocor.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: But they're gonna have a better year.
• 27:51

• 30:44

  Speaker 4: on a week to week basis is all back. I
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: know it so and some of those younger kids now
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: that are coming up because they have been successful, those
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: kids want to get involved in that program. I know
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Coach Foreman's done a great job building that foundation and
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: bringing that program back. I'm taking gopen.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah big run roll, Yesh run roll.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Everyone takes the Hornets at midway and stick with eight
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: man football. Wesley and Christian School at home against Yale.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Kind of a somewhat similar although different story for the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Mustangs lost six seniors. They've got a new head coach
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: this fall. They are also moving from Class B to
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: B two District four. Blaine Landers, defensive coordinator for Wesley
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and Christian School past two years as their head coaches.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: They've got twenty three guys out for the team after
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: they lost six seniors. That's a good sign. Yale nine
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to four in Class B last year. They're going to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: be one three this fall. Yale got a win over
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Kyota and lost to the O'Kean Whippets in the Class
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: B playoffs last year. Wesley and Christian School at home
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: against Yale.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Evan, you said that Yale is.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: In B three there and be one there will be
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: one District three.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, there's only B one and B two. That's correct, Yes,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: all right, So Yale is the larger they are of
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the two teams. Okay, got you?
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I have been impressed just as a community in the
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: growth at Wesley and Christian School, and their athletic teams
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: have have benefited from the growth of the school.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: I love that there's this many kids out.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Bartlesville needs a strong private school option for the especially
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: for the upper grades, and this is fantastic. I'm excited
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: about their season. You don't want to see that many
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: seniors depart, but I love that they've added more guys
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: than they lost. You like having a defensive coordinator that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: has been on campus for a while taken over as
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the head coach. I like that it's at home. I'm
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: taking the Mustangs and excited about their season. I'm gonna
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: look forward to get trying to get out to watch
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: them sometime. Maybe maybe Friday night since they're at home
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: at Barbesville Place.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Thursday.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, I mean it's kind of an unknown right now.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: With Westland. You know, they lost seamers. There's not a
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: seamers on the football.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Team for the first decade.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: That's weird, you know. Uh so that's gonna be a look.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: No, wait a minute, there here is there is there's
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: a younger one, Kale. No, no, I'm gonna think of
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: a minute too.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, he's on the football and he's a good looking
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: kid too. I saw him at the lake a couple
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago. There you go at his grandma Rapos
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: right next door.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Is he a strong swimmer?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Rap?
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: I would take you on, Michael. Okay, all right, I'm
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: not hearing. His name's Hank. Yes it's Hank.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: That is a strong football name, Hanks.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: See that. Yeah, he looks to bart and he's not
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: the seamers coming. So all right, good, it's gonna be
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: a good one. Uh. Anyways, I don't know anything about Yell.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: They went nine at four and yeah, I don't care,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: but I'm gonna take Westland Christian all right. I don't
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: know anything about them. First year head coach was the DC. Yeah,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: go get them.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Well, there's one thing I'm glad of. This morning, they
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: were cleaning up the Westland football field.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I noticed that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Every day I'm driving by there, I'm like, get your
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: rears out there and let's get this thing fixed.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Looks like they had a new scoreboard too.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, so the new scoreboards up the stands are
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: out of you know, that's from the tornado. For anyone,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: they went right down there and all the stands. It
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: was unbelievable. So I've I've been waiting for the new scoreboard.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: It's coming up. I love that they hired someone from inside.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: And here's what is really so. Obviously, west Land has
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: been really strong offensively the last two or three years,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: not only because of the kids they had, but also
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: because of their system that they were running. I mean,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: they would they are not afraid to throw the ball.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: A lot of people think, well, you hire defensive coordinator,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a defensive the best offensive coordinators
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: that I I've played or coached with or coached against
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: our former defensive coordinators because they know, yeah, against exactly.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see what kind of offense they're running.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I hate it's great that they've got twenty three kids out.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: That is a lot. That is a lot for eight
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: man football, so that's exciting. I do think that Yale
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: is going to be the stronger team you lose sixteen years,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: which is basically losing, you know, thirty seniors in a
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: six A program. I think that's you know, they're gonna
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: be playing some younger kids, and we know, out of
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: those six seniors, how many of them played a lot
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: last year. So I'm going with Yale. But I do
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: think it's going to be a good show in for
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: West Lane. I think that it's going to be a
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: pretty tight game. But I'm going with ye.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of DC as oci, I meant to I
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: meant to ask you about this before the show. But
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you know, they're they're running Michael Kent at safety for
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the Bruins. And part of the reason they said he's
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: had early success is whenever you have a quarterback that
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: that plays safety or corner like that, they know what
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: they're looking for, they know what that guy's looking at,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and they know they just instinctively know this is what
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I would have done.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: And so I'm not surprised that DC's make good.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Oh I'm not. Yeah, yeah, And to Michael Kent up, now,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: most quarterbacks can't play safety, Yeah they're not. And yeah,
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: this is just.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: That not tough.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: This is where we're going. This is an ex defense.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: They're not tough enough.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Dig quarterbacks can't. Let's be honest, they're not tough enough
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: to play back their safety. However, Michael Kent can't. He's
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: a good enough athlete and he's not afraid of contact.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: In fact, he's gonna have to learn as he dresses
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: over the next three weeks. Quarterback, you can't run everybody
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: over in six A. Yeah. So but yeah, yeah, I'm
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: kind of excited to see how that defensive coach and
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: what kind of philosophy theyre running.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, just so you know, listening to plane Landers talk
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: over the course of the last few weeks, he thinks
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: this team is just as talented as the last few.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. So so we'll find out a
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: little bit because the Mustangs gets set to take on
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yale Friday night here in Bartlesville next ball game. Caney
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Valley Barnesdall teams have both had some changes. Barnsall eleven
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: man football, first time in five years. Of course, the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: last time they were in the eleven man ranks, they
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: made the Class A quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Kney Valleys dropped from
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: two A to Class A one District three. We mentioned
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: that district before last caney Valley victory came on September ninth,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. They went winless a year ago. Barnsdall
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: went seven to four in Class B had a forty
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: six to nothing run role loss to Wlite Cup in
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the first round of the postseason. Barnsdall has won the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: last seven meetings with caney Valley. Panthers lead the series
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: thirteen to eight since nineteen ninety nine. Caney Valley did
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: get a couple of wins in the late twenty tens.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Caney Valley at home against Barnsdall.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's exciting that Kenny Valley used to drop down
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: to Class A. You know, that's that's probably more it
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: should where they where they need to play, and good
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: for them. That kind of lightens the schedule up for them. Uh,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: those kids are gonna have success this year. And I
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: remember they were young last year and so once again
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: you know they're gonna those kids are a year older
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: and get a drop down and play Class A. So
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: that's exciting. Good for them. Marshaw Panthers. Yeah, I want,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, let me talk about them for a second.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: They will be better in eleven man than what they want.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: That is exactly what I was about to absolutely, absolutely yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: About the eight man to eleven man conversion.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: That they will be so much better. Coach Sweeney is
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: an eleven man coach, and yeah, I mean there's it
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: is completely different.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: They're one of the few teams in the state that
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I'd ever say that they'd be better in eleven man
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: than the word same coach. I mean, they they were
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: better in eleven Man than.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: They were they were. That's I mean, they've always been
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: really good under coach Swiney, and then they went to
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: eight man and they weren't as good.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: And almost in the northfield guys saying in the off season,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: great googly mooly superintendent, I mean the superintendent of the
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: fields like Man twenty nineteen, they had to switch it. Yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: it had to be shorter, it had to be not
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: as wide. Now he's like, god started, I gotta buy
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: more paint, more lines, lighter, love that the shifts.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, but both both teams, you know, I
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: look for both schools to have a successful season this year.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: This could be really good coming up playing left man.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: I think you're right.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Canty Valley going down a class and Barstall, you know, converting.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're both kind of they're both new. It's both
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: new for both of them.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Now, Canny Valley, let's talk about their head football coach.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Remind me Steven Mitchell.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is his second year. No long time.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Plus that's a long time.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Apaul Joss coach Mitchell.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: M I was so let down.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I was thinking was a coach there, the head coach
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: there recently in the more recent years.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: You know everything about everything, everything everything.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I apologize, Well, I'm gonna take the Barnstall Panthers in
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: this game, guys.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I obviously we talked a little bit about the
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: change from make man to eleven man. I agree with you,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Kenny Valley, going down to class is gonna They're gonna
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: have some success. It's just not gonna start Friday night
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: versus Barnstall. I mean, that's kind of the that's not
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: a very good draw. I get it. It's close. It's
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: a I mean, it's a it's it's a game you
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: gotta have, right Dewey and know and know what. That
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: game's always got to happen. And I'm sure we'll have
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: a whole other discussion. Oh boy, but I think that
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: open worms everywhere. I am taking Barnstall. I think that
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: you know, obviously we know the devastation that Barnstall had
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: with that UH four that came through. I know it
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: disrupt the school and their workouts and their football field
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: and just the whole town. Obviously, I think they're ready
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: to get into some normalcy, to get back into Friday nights.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a great crowd.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: I couldn't agree what I'm picking barn so Evan, Evan,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I've got a question that I'd like for you to
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: ask coach Swiney. Uh Actually, I have two has the
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: how did the tornado affect them?
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't have any spring? And in fact, because they
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: had no spring, they started fall practice a week early. Okay,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: so they went seven days earlier than everyone else. They
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: had to get permissions, but they didn't get it.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Did he has he lost any kids to move away?
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Had to move too, or the refinery that's closing down
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: over there?
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good a question.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna take the fighting stashes.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I think this is their year going to eleven man,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: they may hoist the trophy.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you guys, Oh no, you listen to me carefully.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: It's the fighting stashes all the way.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: And I agree with you that I think they have
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: the entire community behind him. I think Friday, I think
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Friday Night over there is going to be gigantic.
• 42:07

• 44:16
  Speaker 2: guys in. There's actually three bartles with guys that transferred
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: up there that are playing. Kids from skyto Yeah that's right,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: big good looking kid, good looking kid from skytchok the
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: place defensive end, nighthawk.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: You'd love this kid, and damn.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: And he's chiseled up and angry. He's ready to go.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: And but.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: They did lose their starting quarterback, uh, transferred down to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: a school in Tulsa, and their backup quarterback transferred to Bartlesville.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: So they've got a linebacker playing quarterback and he's learning.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: And is that Easton Davis?
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, he was played receiver receiver.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Sorry, okay there, his backup is a is a linebacker.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: They Easton Davis is a has a high football I Q.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: He's a good looking athlete and knows the field. I
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: think he'll be fine, do he. I think is gonna
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: is gonna have a tough season, and I don't know
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen Friday night but I I really am
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: am hopeful that coach Richardson can get these guys all
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: molded together and and playing together with with all the
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: changes that.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Have taken place. Well before I discussed Dewey that the
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: season and all the year, I want to, oh, go ahead,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: then sorry, remember that's I apologize.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think I think Dewey's going to be
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: better than what they have been because once again, I
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: think that I don't give as much, I don't weigh
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: as much when you lose a high school quarterback because
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: he made his decision early to leave Easton. Davis has
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: been it has gone through spring, summer workouts, he's been
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: in the program, he's been a receiver. So obviously he's
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: an athlete playing a receiver. So I'll take an athlete
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: playing quarterback over a quarterback that's not an athlete, if that,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: If that makes it, it does make sense. Evan Proppers in
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: the backfield, what is he five to ten to two
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: hundred pounds. I mean he's a huge kid, you know.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: I know on the front side on the line, they've
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: got some decent size, you know, two hundred pounds, two
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: thirty you know, with the Magnus kid.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Well, and there's a kid Nighthawks from Barrisona named Ashton
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Lyden to transferred up there that's going to play running
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: back also, and so there, you're right.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: So I think what they're going to come out with
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: Coach Richardson, I don't know what he's going to run,
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: but boy, you figure that they should be a little
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: run heavy, you know, get Richardson, I mean, get Davis
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: options with some keeps, some zone keeps in and out.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: So they're not gonna win this game. Locus Grove was good. Uh,
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: They've got a bunch of kids back. They're always good.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: They've got a great program. But I'm kind of excited
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: to see Dewey this year. He too.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, Coach Benny was absolutely work in
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: those linemen. I mean they were, they were hard at it.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: Wait which coach Benny? Coach little Scott, Scott Betty Okay, okay,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: all right, no, all.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Right, that's not out there back on.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: No, but they were I'm just saying there.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: They were really engaged when we were watching them practice.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And and so yeah, we'll see I'm with you and
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Coach Richardson third or fourth year, right, yeah, they third
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: or four either way, there's consistent number three.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Either way, there's some needed consistency there that has not
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: been there.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: They've had a lot of coaching turnover and and so
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: that all of that seems to add up to a
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: better result this year, right think.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the first thing I'm going to say is,
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: shame on you, Dewey, shame on you. No Wata. There
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: is no reason you guys should not be playing. They've
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: played for one hundred and eleven years. It is a
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: great rival game. I don't care. I've heard so many
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: stories that well they didn't, they didn't this that I
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: don't care. You guys should be playing. Those kids they
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: grow up playing against each other, and many of them,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: many many become really really close friends. And for them
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: just to not play and do he travel to Locust Grove?
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Where else they going? Evan, I tried to print the schedule.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, mess It's shameful.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: It is shameful. It's a great gate for both whoever's
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: playing at home. It's perfect for both teams to be playing. Now,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: if it was a situation where you know, one school
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: was was doing inappropriate stuff or something when they come,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: then administrators need to address that right. And I'm not
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: calling out calling out nobody, no no one. I'm saying
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: those schools need to be playing that's not right too.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Is Perkins okay? Perkins at Tyrone? Uh?
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Where is that at Dewey Okay?
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: And then Chakota at Chakota at Dewey Uh. Perkins and
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Chakota are not gonna bring hardly anybody to do to watch.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: And guys, I hate to tell you, but football funds
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of athletic programs. They do, and if you
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: don't have people in the seats, then you're gonna that's
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: gonna cost you money. And that means that costs those
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: other programs, you know, equipment or whatever they need.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: And I know we're gonna talk about it next, but
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: what's No Water gonna get in return this this Friday night?
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna play but Husco. That's a district which
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: they're playing week zero, a district that's week one one.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: Sorry not, We're gonna make up.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: When I left Dewey America, we played No Water week one,
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Week two we played Pehuska, and week three we played Vanita.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Every year, boys, those were they were huge, gays, huge,
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: and sometimes you won. Sometimes you lost. Yeah, that's it.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: I mean the no Wada and Dewey overall record is
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: a pretty much even. You know, that's a fair competition.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: But they were packed, they were they were and it
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: was fun for the kids. It was fun for everybody. Now,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: we don't got a Locust Grove. There's there's not a
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: rival Perkins, Nope, and who in Chakota absolutely not. So
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: it's a bit ridiculous. They need to get this fixed
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: that this needs to be a two year deal and
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: they need to get it fixed. I mean, the administrators,
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: they need to come together and get this fixed for
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: the community and the kids, you know, put all the
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: other stuff aside.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: And I mean, shoot, they got family members playing against
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: each other. They all go to church together. There's a
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: lot there, they work together.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: It's yeah, absolutely absolutely, you know.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: It's it's it would be back to day day of
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: college high not playing sooner.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Right, that's true. That's true. Now talk you feel better.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I feel better because I mean it had to be said.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: And I've had a lot of people tell me about
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: it and how how mad they are and how ridiculous
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: it is. And you know, I.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: Think, thank you for coming to Tailgate talk therapy.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you?
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: Do we built on a football team Easton Davis playing quarterback?
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I think that that's a good decision. You take your
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: best athlete, put him a quarterback. He's a phenomenal kid.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Is worth it, I think. Is it's way way high.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Like you said, his football knowledge is way high. Uh,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: he is. He's just he is a kid that you know.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I think we'd all love to have on our football
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: team and back there playing quarterback. I think that's a
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: good deal. But if the Bulldoggers do not run the
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: football seventy percent of the time, they will not win
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: more than two games this year. They've got to run
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: the ball. Yeah, and they've got a We watched their
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: offensive line and like Batch said, the coach Bennie was
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: working those kids, and they got some good looking kids.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: And you know, Easton, he didn't throw as well as
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: the monitor kid did last year, but that's okay. He
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: can run the ball, utilize him, utilize. Put a couple
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: of backs back there. Like Batch said, They've got a
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: couple kids who've moved in or transferred of whatever it is.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: They can play. Run the football, run the football. If
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: you want an opportunity the day.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: We were up there, Nighthawk Leyden was in the rehab
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: room getting niced up because a couple of practices before
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: that he wouldn't go down and was carrying two or
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: three guys, and guys kept jumping on his back to
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: try to bring him down, and one of them cleaned
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: up his leg a little bit.
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: But but my point being he was carrying man.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, uh, going to Locus Grove is a tough
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: place to play. It just is. It's it's you know,
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: I can't remember if they added a track after I
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: was done, but they didn't have a track previously. Maybe
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't remember. That it's kind of dark
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: place and and it's it's a tough place to play.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be tough for the Bulldoggers. I'm gonna
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: take them just because I you know, Locus Grove it's
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: then went three and seven last year and you know whatever,
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: No since coach Tennessee left, that program has had a
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: hard time hardly since.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: The quarterback left and went to North Texas.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Well, Yeah that that also he's also coaching at Slina
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: now with Scottie Harmon. That's a fact.
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: Well, and if those.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Guys and if those guys can get off the bus
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: and maybe have a chance to walk around the track
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe they have a new track. Yeah, that'd be great,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: be good. I'm gonna take the bulldogers.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Last ball game kind of the area game of the week,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I guess No Wada at home against Bajusca. Ironman coming
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: off their best season since twenty nineteen, went four to six.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Last year Bahuska six and four had a first round
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: playoff loss. Bahuska has not won a playoff game now
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one. That was the last time they
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: were in Class A. They're back there this year after
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: two years in two A. Bahusca is back in A
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: one district three. Talked a lot about that district today.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Bajasca a lot of guys back, Canyon Heineman, Lane, Kyler
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Logan cast of course, Bartlesville transfer Chase Eves is there.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: No Wada has Trevor Emerson back, third year starting quarterback,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Adrian Odell, Jerome Jackson, a couple other familiar names. Bahusca
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: has won the last two matchups that combined one twelve
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to fourteen. The past two years. No Wada had won
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the previous four years they played from twenty twelve to
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. In fact, the Iron had lead the series
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety nine, ten to Evan no Wada against Bahasca.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: That ballgame will air on Sportstock ninety nine point one FM, KPGM.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Video coverage on kpgmtv dot com.
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: You know, it's like he didn't miss a beat. You know,
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: us three we're over here just kind of stammering around,
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: just through this.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: He's on point. He's mid season four.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: I wish I could change my voice.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Leand you're on the radio every.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Day day, mid season four, mid season I'm with you
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: at night on I'm taking Bosca.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: So if it's one twelve to fourteen, it's gonna be
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: one fifty six to.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah twenty one.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: So, I think Mosca's got a lot of people back. No,
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: I'm saying the combined score. Yeah, Jeackeysc's got a bunch
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: of kids back. I think the addition of some of
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: the transfers are going to help them if they can
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: play between the whistles whistles alone and uh yeah. So,
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: but I know coach Tennessee and I know that his
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: team is. Last year, there was just something off, there
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: was There just wasn't a lot of consistency of a
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: normal coach Tennessee team. And you know, basically what comes
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: down to do when you play a bunch of younger kids,
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: They're going to make mistakes. And that's okay true because
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: now they've got that experience underneath them. And I'm picking
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: Boska in a I'm taking the one sided.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: I'm taking Pehuska as well, because Rev has to be
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: a little more PC than I do.
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: And know what, I already doesn't like me anyway.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: And my understanding is that that no Water is responsible
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: for the no What to do a deal and so
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: they are going to go over to Pehuska and get whoop.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: But there is a couple of things I do want
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: to talk about, and I'll start with the No What ironman. Guys,
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: they're going to be a much better football team than
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: what they have been no head football coach. This is
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: year number three for him, and he's done a phenomenal job.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: And we've talked about him every year. He's got kids out,
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: he's got kids believing. He gets his quarterback back and
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: his running back and so I mean, they're they're gonna
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: beat a much much better team. Remember last year they
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: lost several games by you know, under seven. I mean
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: it was in the Bulldogger game, they should have won
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: that game back pass and they got beat. That was it.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: And so they're gonna be much better, but also will
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: be a Huska They're gonna be a lot better. Like
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: Knight Hawks said, things were a little bit different last year.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Was they were different because they were way young. You know,
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: they didn't have Drumming playing quarterback. They had Cannon Hyman,
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: which is he's gonna be really good. Last year he
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: was good, came in as a starting quarterback entire season
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: and and did a great job for a first year quarterback.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Now he's got a year under his belt, he's gonna
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: be good. Guys, and he's got a group of young kids. Well,
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: I must say, I must say you kids, because now
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: you said it wallago that kids' best years from their
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: from their sophomore to their junior year. Improvement with those
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: kids that played last year with sophomores, Yeah, and now
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: they're juniors. So you're going to see a huge improvement
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: by this football team. And uh, you know they've had
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: an addition of a couple of other players that's gonna help
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: them too. I don't think it's going to be a
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: blowout like Nighthawk quite thanks, But you know, I think
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: this is gonna win. But I hope it's a relatively
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: close game. I hope it is a close game, and uh,
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: you know, and Pusk ends up winning it late in.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: The fourth quarter.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: Be fantastic.
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: Should be saying a big blow I mean thirty five seven,
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: forty two seven. I mean that's not in high school football.
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: That's not a big blowout. It's not gonna be a
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: sixty something to nothing game.
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: Should be a giant crowd too, right, It's gonna be
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: a good crowd.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's gonna be a great crowd.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Great night. You know, I'd love to go over and
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: watch that game. I think that'd be good.
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to make a trip over to Pasca.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: I'm in because of all the restaurants. We can go
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: about four o'clock and I know about ten restaurants, agree
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: and then go to the game.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: So just one thing to throw out the right now.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if this affects any of our picks,
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: but right now, the forecast for Friday night is rainy.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: Oh and could be really could really could really make
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: some for some fun Friday night football.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Well, guys, it's gonna be a great season.
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: We're back.
• 59:17
