  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show. Thank you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: all for joining us. This is not a live broadcast
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this time. In fact, I don't think we're going to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: be doing that for the next few weeks, but we
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: will be back in the later weeks doing our live
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: show reviewing the games. So but I just want to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: say thank you guys so much for the views on
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that and the feedback. We really appreciate it and we're
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: looking forward to getting back to that. Week five Roman
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was a pretty good slate of games. As it turned out,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: some shockers and some last minute drama in certain games
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about, and played out pretty well.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some really good games. I'm know in week four
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: some people were kind of disappointed because there were a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: lot of blowouts, but there were some plots to this
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: week in week five and a lot of a lot of.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: More exciting games between good teams.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, for sure. I mean, you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we had some top pickeen games that really kind of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: lived up to the hype, and and we got some,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, games that actually were pretty good. But we're
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a little anti climatic. I think one of the games
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I was kind of at was like that, and some
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: rivalry games that ended up being kind of fairly lopsided.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna get into it right now, starting with
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the number one game of the week that ended up
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: probably being the number one game of the week on paper,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: which was Kirkwood defeating Eureka twenty four twenty one. Another
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: game between these two schools that didn't disappoint and was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: really tight throughout the whole game, which has been really
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: what has been a reoccurring theme for the last several
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: years when those two teams have played. Those teams just
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they know each other. I think it's a respectful rivalry
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and it was a pretty good one. Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So these two teams have actually split their last four
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: meetings two to two, Eureka winning in twenty twenty two
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: by one point, Kirkleld winning in twenty twenty three by
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: four points, Eureka win last ye about four points, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: then Kirkold coming back and when again this year by
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: three points. That's been very exciting. With the name of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the game. This past weekend was definitely a big plays.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at me in the final
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: score was twenty four to twenty one, so not not
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a high scoring game, but also not a low scoring game,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and they were not an amount of points score here. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the theme here is is big plays because he got
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: on Eureka's three touchdowns, two of them are over fifty yards,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and on Kirkwood's three touchdowns, they one was fifty seven
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown throw from Cooper Owns to Travis Shorts Junior,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: one was a twenty eight yard touchdown for Cooper Owns
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to Jumior Sloan, and the final one to take the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: lead was a forty seven yard pass touchdown from Cooper
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Owns to Travis Shorts Junior.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: This is the Travis Sortes Junior game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I know Jacob Eberhart's been the guy for Kirkwood so far,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: but Eureka limited him to his worst stat line.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Of the year's one yard ever.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Really, but Kirkwood has dudes, and Travis Georges Junior is
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: one of them. He had seventy catches for one hundred
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and fifty nine yards and two touch downs. Incredible game
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for Shores, definitely the best game of his career so far.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Cooper Owns not the craziest that line.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He was fourteen twenty nine with two and four to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: four yards three touchdowns but zero interceptions, so keeping the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: turnovers down was huge for them. Kirkwood offensively, I mean,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: they could really won the ball, which you know, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: guess isn't that much of a surprise given that dreekas
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: front seven has been showing. I wouldn't say improve it
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: from last year, but I would say it's.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Ereka has just been pretty good. I mean for a while,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it's stopping the run and you know, especially elimiting Kirkwood
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: when it comes to those individual matchups, and and yeah,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I mean they held Kirkwood under three hundred total yards,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: which I think says a lot about Eureka's defense right there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And Kirkwood also just hasn't been as explosive yet so
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: far compared to last year when they had you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: at ness Ledge at quarterback and then three really good
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: receivers including eber Harty's back. But you know, but kind
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of like that team last year, they were able to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: really kind of hit the stride at the right time
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: last year and you know, late in the season and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: into playoffs. So maybe that could be what's gonna happen
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for Kirkwood. We shall see. But all they care about
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is getting the W and I think that's just one
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of the one of those games, you know, style points
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter when it comes when it comes to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Kirkwood versus Eureka. You just gotta have more points than
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the other team at the end, at the end of
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the day, and that's all that matters.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And Kirkwood's defense has been kind of their selling points
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: so far this year, honestly. I mean, coming out hot
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Week one, holdings well West only three points, holding pat
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: with seven points, and then here against Eureka, keeping Eureka
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: scoreless in the fourth court was huge. I mean, when
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the going gets tough, they've been a little bit.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They did not break.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Eureka does not have their stats and so we
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: don't have the exact yardage totals for Eureka so far,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but I know Patrick Hutchcraft had a.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Decent game for the Wildcats. He made a lot of
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: really good throws.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We're kind of seeing their offense transfer a little bit
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: from what it was last year, run heavy team with
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Trevor Kodak, and they have him again this year.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But he is I think he's only played one once
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe he's been injured most of the seasons,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: so they've kind of the coaches have kind of adjusted,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and I think the adjustments adjustments have worked out because
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: if they were trying, if they were going to try
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to use the same offensive scheme they used, you know
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: last year in previous years, I don't think the would
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: have scored twenty one points this game. But they understand
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that Hudgecraft is a decently talented QB and they did
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: trust his arm and it's worked out for him basically
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: so far this year. But not quite enough of this game,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: as they only scored twenty one points. But a good,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: good game for both teams. Honestly, it's hard to it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: hard to complain if you're Eureka. I mean, that's that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a tough team and a tough game. I guess the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: turnovers are the selling points that I know. Eureka had
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: two turnovers. They threw one pick into one fumble recovery.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was gave away one fumble.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The one interception was in the fourth quarter. Thanks to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: their Kirklan's got an incredible Twitter account, their football account.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I mean they provide highlights and just like good commentary
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: on every game they're playing. And yeah, so they got
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a kind of a crucial interception in the fourth quarter,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and then I think they got like one more stop
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to quell Eureka at the end right there, So yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: they're there. Kirkwood's defense had to come up big in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter hold onto that three point lead there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I know that a lot of times the head coaches
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of whatever programs will be the person in charge of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the football account. But the one bad part about that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is that if it's only the head coach in charge
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: football account, you're not going to get anything mid game. No,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the coach is doing things that are more important running
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a Twitter account during the game.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And honestly, it should always be an assistant or or
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: even like an intern, like and.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: We're just school admint in charge.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like that. And obviously, if if I was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a head coach, I would try to Obviously I care
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a lot about social media, so I would kind of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: be conscious of that and try to make sure we
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: can have like keep score updates. And also it's done
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: by someone who genuinely like wants to do it and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: cares for it, and you know, just be professional with
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know, just the scores and you know, certain commentaries.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and they do a really good job with that,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and you wish wish more teams could do that well.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Looking ahead for Kirkwood, they're gonna bye week coming up
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and they're at Marquette that should be gained they'd run
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: away with. And then a few weeks later on October seventeenth,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they got due which is really their final test of
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the year, I would say, because they do have Hazel
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Central in week nine, but.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they should.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That started looking two good so far. So if Kirkwood
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: can take care of business against Markette and Haywood Central
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and then come out firing against the Duke, they could
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: finish seven to one, which I.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Think could be pretty big for them going into the playoffs.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And one loss by one score loaf Yette I think
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: would be obviously not best case scenario for Pioneer fans,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: but definitely a scenario they'll take.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think at this point, especially with
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: how a good Lafayette's been and then Eureka, they are
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in the middle of their toughest slate of the season
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: coming up with Summit on the road this coming week,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and then after that they're huge game against the Battle
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of One O nine. They're they're hosting for the first
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: time since twenty twenty two, So that'll be, uh, that'll
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: be a big one. And always looking forward to that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: game that'll be in Week seven there. So yeah, Eureka
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: they this is it's not their entire season right here,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: these three games, but it's definitely the toughest part and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the most important. So, I mean, they they barely lost
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to Kirkwood, but uh, you know, I think they're looking
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: good though. They really are. I mean, I know, just
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: going into the season, they weren't. I just know, just
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: talking to a few people who like are know a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: lot about Eureka, you know, they weren't so excited for
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this season. Uh, you know, just even looking back to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: last year. But you know it's Eureka's a really well
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: coached team and they're they always got enough guys and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they always have good depth, and so I just think,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that goes a long way, and I
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: think you're seeing it this season. And they've had to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: rely on some of their depth. And they have a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: quarterback like Patrick Kutchcraft who kind of give something different
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: for them. He's he's tall, he can he can pass,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and he's he's been one of the key guys for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: them being four and one, and then you know they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: still have a really good defense that's can't over you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: can't always and then they always lose a lot of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: guys the previous year and they just kind of replace them.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It's it's not that simple. It's actually it's not easy
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: at all, but they always seem to do it. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: here they are looking pretty good at four and one.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Eureka is one of those public schools you know, like Eureka, Lafiat, East,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis Francis hallsm All in the North, that you
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: trust them to not have to go through a year
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: or two rebuilding usually and even if they graduate ten, twelve,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: thirteen big contributors, they're going to reload pretty well.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: They have enough guys in those.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Programs that are that have been training really hard for
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: years and that are that are ready for that moment.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And Eureka is definitely one of those teams where even
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: if they lose a lot from last year, you know
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they're going to come back. Strang and I would and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I'll pull cripple that camp to me, especially there losing
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a owhn Nessel from last year, Cooper Owens, I think
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I stepped in pretty well, so I would I would
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: definitely learn Cripon in that camp as well, with a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: reload and both I think both teams. I mean, the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Battle one nine is going to be a freaking war,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and I believe that I can go to that game.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we can go there and cover that one.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That could be fun. Well, I'll probably well, there's other
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: games I might be at. That's that's this is a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: few weeks from now, so yeah, we'll see about that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But all right, so moving on, I'll talk about the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: game I was at, which was also pretty good. It
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was Slew versus Lyft for Life and the Junior Bills
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: stay undefeated. They're five and zero for the first time
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: since two thousand and five. With uh, this is a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: game I think, I think plenty of people thought there'd
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be a lot of points in this one, but the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they don't care those Slew They still won thirteen to twelve.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: A really tight game. Weird game, yeah, it was, And
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: this is I'll say firsthand, this is not a very
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: well officiated game. Just you know, I think both coaches
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: weren't really totally satisfied with the officials and just they
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: were just had some subjective rule blunders in the during
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the course of the game, like one team had twelve
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: men on the field, like Lift for Life had twelve
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: men on the field when they scored their their second,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: their their last touchdown, and then I guess I'll just
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I'll just talk about it. So it was thirteen the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: six Slew with about five minutes ago at Lift for
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Life they score on a touchdown by Javion Scott and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: then I think it was at looking back, I think
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it was kind of unfair. He was flagged, I think
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: for spinning the football and but after he scored, but
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Slew did that. Kean Harris he did that, And I'm
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: just trying to be consistent here. The referees didn't flagging
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: for that. So if you're going to just go off
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of that, then don't flag anybody for spinning the football.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And if you do flag and let's say they do
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: flag King and Keenan Harris when he scored his first touchdown, okay,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: then flag him and then do it again for somebody
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: else who does it. So so I think that the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: rest were kind of inconsistent right there. But then so
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: they thought that so they penalized Lift for Life. But
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: They initially thought that you could only enforce that on
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the kickoff, so they had Lift for Life line up
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: with the three yard line for the two point conversion
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and then slowly had to call time out to bring
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the rule book out. Said like, no, you can enforce
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it on the on the pat and we want them
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that we'll accept it, and they so they can.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It's up to the non offending team if it's enforcing
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the kickoff of the pat. Yeah, and knowing that Lift
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Life goes for two every time they did, yeah, obviously
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: decided to enforce that on the pat.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, the two point try, and they probably would
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: have done it anyway even if they were kicking a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: pat because it was a crucial point the game. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: so anyway, they ultimately got it correct. They allowed SLU
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to accept the penalty and force Lift for Life to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: try the two point conversion from the eighteen yard line,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and they really didn't get close. I think their quarterback
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Phoenix Isaiah was pushed out about the five yard line,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: which I think is what SLU kind of wanted him
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to do. When you have to scramble and get in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the end zone from about eighteen yards out, you're most
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: likely not going to score that, so and then Slew
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: did a really good job the entire game of kind
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of controlling the ball, and honestly, they were kind of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a little hard done just now. I wouldn't say hard done,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but just like with for Life, they were able to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: have some pretty good goal line stands. So when I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: say hard done, it's like they got to the I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: think Slough got inside the red zone four times and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: only scored two times, so they were two for four
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: there and I think I think they one of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: times they missed a field goal too, and then the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: other time right before halftime they went forward and didn't score,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So obviously that's one thing that they're probably not happy with,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you know, whenever you and they had good drives too.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: They were really good at establishing the run, just kind
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of like how they did against the smet and they
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: were able to drive the field with Jordan Taylor, Klong
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Grace and then Keenan Harris and the Wildcats sometimes they
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: put him in there and it works well. Lift for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Life did a really good job offensively or defensively of really,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Slip didn't have one particular big pass play. I mean,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: they were only big pass play was a fourth down conversion,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and other than that, they didn't have any big pass
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: plays and so they struggled to throw the football. They did,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and so that's something that's maybe a slight concern for
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: SLOP moving forward. But then again lift for life. They
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: got a really good secondary, So I don't know, maybe
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of the cause, cause and effect of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the opponent you play. But I made the comment I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: tweeted out that SLU was basically just Eureka, but but
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: with like a little overall more team speed because they
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: just got to run the football. It's three yards on
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the cloud of dust, and then they have a really
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: good defense. That's who they are and it works. Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I mean they had a team two and two total
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: rushing yards averaging almost five and a half yards per carry.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Keilan Grace, Keatan Harris, and Jordan Taylor all had over
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: seventy yards rushing and all of them averaged over five
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: yards per carry. So they got a bunch of athletes
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: in a decent o line. More than decent, I would say, actually,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the yvery good over line that's much improved from last year.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: That can definitely leave one of the best rushing attacks
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: in the area. And for Sleugh, I mean the points
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that they've allowed this year. Week one they allowed three
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: points to Second Dasius. Week two they allowed fourteen to Hillsboro.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Week three they allowed fourteen to this Cement. Last week
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they shut out Luther Saint Charles and two days ago
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they only allowed twelve of the for Life. So this
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: slew defense is legit.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And we'll see how they do against a decent Vianni
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: passing attack. And it's Sean no in the next two weeks,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and so how I can take care of business maybe
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: seven to o going into week eight, they host CBC.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You mentioned that they were This is the first year
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: that they were five and os is two thousand and five.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and five was also the last time slu High.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Defeated CBC in football game.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Oh man, So year, Bills are gonna hope that they
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: can relive two thousand and five in every way that
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: they can this year by potentially winning out. We'll see,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I mean it's gonna be It's it's a tough schedule.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: They cannot live vian and yann is a decent team
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: and not a great team, but they're okay, and they
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: could maybe scary if you let them, but slu HIGs
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: gott to figure it out.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: And they should be in good shape for the rest
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: of the year.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And let's let's talk about that Vianna game real quick.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: That was a shootout.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we meant defeats Leanni fifty six to forty two
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: final score in that one.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is I don't know what to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: say about the smet but they got it done. We
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: knew their offense could even in their games against Slough
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and uh SEC. Their offense was able to make put
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: some things together and you know, make it interesting early
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: in the game. But I mean, CBC is just a
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: better team than them than Slew's probably a better team
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: than them. Obviously they beat them. But yeah, yeah, their
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: defense kind of had a stinker in this one. But
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you got to give tons of credit to Viani. They
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I wasn't really so sure what they would do in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: this game. Obviously, Sam Dene's a good quarterback.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Sam Dean had probably the best game of his life.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: He was They won to forty seven for five hundred
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and thirty two yards, six touchdowns and one interception. But yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: just Mets offense. I mean, when you when you look
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: at a scorel line like this, you expect both offenses
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: do good. And that's what happened to smet as a team.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Had they were one yards short of six d and
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: fifty total yards of offense Cam Sharp, they found a
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: new belcow back and dismount with Cam Sharp. He's only
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: a sophomore.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: It thirty three carries for two hundred and twenty five
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: yards and.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: One touchdown in the game. It was very important. It
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: looks like the Smith doesn't have the times for their
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: touchdowns then.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: But they have the quarters.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: So the touchdowns in the fourth quarter, which I would
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: assume was particular lead, but I'm not exactly.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Sure it was. That was to give them the fourteen
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: point cushion. It was the last score of the game, okay,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: And then I doubt it was was with no time
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: remaining because I would assume at that point they just
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: take a knee. Yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But Gay Rodriguez, mean, he's been he's been pretty
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: good for dis Mess so far this year, and he
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: continues in a good another good game twenty two to
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: thirty one, eight yards, four touchdowns, win, interception.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, nothing newly complain about. If you're Desmitt offensively.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the best offensive games over
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the past several years, for sure. But I don't know
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: what I mean, I don't know if I don't know
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: if Sam Sam Dean is that dude. I mean, Sam
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Dene's a great quarterback, but I mean he pieced up.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's that. He's that dude.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: He is he pieced up the di smet secondary. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: mean he had Vianni had four receivers with seven even
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: more receiving yards. And Robert Thomas is either to retire
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: as a sing it was blue for a bit and
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: come play for and he got one catch for seventy yards.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding. Vianna has a player named Robert Thomas, not
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the same Robert Thomas that's the four for the Blues.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of Robert thomas is out there
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: in the English language society.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Well, this is weird because apparently this seventy yard Robert
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Thomas receiving touchdowns from Sam Dean was the first score
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: of the game. For a little bit of the game.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: They had a leader. They had the lead for a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: little bit in the second half.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: But I mean Anthony Cohen nine catches, one hundred and
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: eighty eight yards, Noah Williams, ten catches from seventy five yards,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Calid Thomas and seven catches for eighty nine yards. I mean,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, there was just.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: An unbelievable amount offense that was optional in this one.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Seriously, So, I mean, we we We've been talking about it,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the smet's questionable, questionable defense this year, and it jeopardized
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: in this game. But they were able to sneak away
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: with a win, and they got Shamana coming.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Up, and that's that is that is officially no longer
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a gimme game.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: It's not. It can't be. I mean, Shamana beat Vianni.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: It's almost the same score that Dismep did. And Shamana
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: has got a decent offense as well, so they got
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: a secondary.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Can't figure defense is a lot different than what Vianni does.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: They're gonna there seem to be. They seem to be
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: pretty balanced offensively, just watching film like they're gonna they're
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: gonna run the ball and then they'll they'll kind of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: throw a lot of screen passes and slants, so they're
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they're not really doing what Vianni is doing, which is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: they're gonna take shots and and I just think I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: just don't think they have a quarterback quite like Sam
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: dene In fact, Shama, they're rotating quarterbacks. But uh, that
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: would be that would be a really good game. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna be interesting where that where that's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: gonna go. And we're gonna talk about that in our
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: next show previewing week six Shamana. By the way, they
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: had a bye week and so there's nothing to talk
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: about them, nothing new there. Cebee once again had another
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: their third sixty ball game of the season with sixty
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: sixty five thirty three win over over Lipscomb Academy. Yeah,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: in this game, it wasn't even really close and it
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: was thirty one seven a halftime. It was not close. Yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm assuming CBC, Oh my, this.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Is this is the This is like the fourth week
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: in a row where I just get dumbfounded by CBC's
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: offensive numbers.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: They had five hundred and twenty rushing yards as a team, A.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Three guys run for one hundred yards. Courtney Rivers is back,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: so that was I think that was the main reason
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: why they're this is unfair. This is this is an
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: unfair offense.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Nick McClellan thirteen of nineteen two and seventy one yards,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: two passing match downs, win interception, ten carries one hundred
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and thirty three yards, Cordy Rivers ten carries running three
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to three yards. Vic Williams ten carries one undred ninety
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: eight yards. That is insane.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: As a team, they had seven hundred and ninety four.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Toty yards offense. Good God, that is insane. That's actually insane.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: And they had five sacks of the game. So just
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: a total dominating performance by CBC here.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a CBC team dominate
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: like this rushing wise since twenty eighteen.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, their point totals this year have been
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: even sixty three, thirty four, sixty four, fifty six, sixty five.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Even when they had Jeremiah Love, they weren't putting up stats.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Like this because they okay, they didn't just have Jeremiah
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Love that year back in was that twenty twenty one,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: twenty one, but twenty two is the senior year. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: they the amount of high level backs they have this
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: year is insane. Yeah, it's actually insane. I think the
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: only war that described it would be unfair. I mean good.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I mean at times they play a really good Raven
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Gaff team. Next week a team from Georgia, really really
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: good team, so that should be an incredible game.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately it is in Georgia, so you know, we can't
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: go to that one.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: But but they do have that. That should be I mean,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that should be a tough test.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: And then they host Bianni and they're absolutely and they're
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: at Saint Mary's.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: If CBC can finish this year undefeated with this tough schedule,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: that would be one of the best CBC.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Regular seasons in quite a while.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would probably since twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen, yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: but yeah, congrats, and the Cadets were winning.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Their offense continues to prove that they're the best.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, eastt Lewis's offense has been good, but I
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: would put CBC's offense on a higher level for sure
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: right now. I mean their ability to do what they
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: can do, Yeah, I mean they can.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: M mcleoan is I think the perfect quarterback for their system. Yes,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he's over one thousand passing yards, twelve touchdowns, one interception,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: so he doesn't turn the ball over. And then Williams
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty two yards eight touchdowns. Mccleoll and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty one yards nine touchdowns. By the way,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Vick Williams, he's averaging sixteen yards of carry and McLellan
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: he's McLellan's a little believed. McClellan's a little bit worse.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: He's averaging point minus point five yards less for average
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: per carrey.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Than sixteen point three yards per carry. She's that's the same.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Nick McClellan could very well finish the year with two
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: thousand or more passing yards and one thousand more rushing yards,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: which is possible. Pretty rare.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does not happen very often for quarterbacks. Yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: it is. And then Rivers he had his best game
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of the season and he had he's got seven point
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: seven yards per carry.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I mean when when you're in compared to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: guys that are getting sixteen yards per carry doesn't look
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: very good. It's over seven yards per carrey is amazing.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: It's very good.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's those are just absolutely crazy numbers right there.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really looking forward to seeing what CBC can
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: do next. Next week in Georgia, we talking about the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Biddle East Edwards will game.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this game was ridiculous.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: So Edwardsville. They were winning for pretty much the whole game,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: but then Bella leaves. They made a comeback kind of predictably,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: so well Edwardsville.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: They were losing the end of the first quarter and
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: then decided to just pop off offensively in the second
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: quarter four touchdowns.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: And that's not been a problem this season. They've been
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: able to put up good points consistently.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: But I mean, it kind of like this feels like
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the I mean, it wasn't as close as the this
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: met Vanni game, but I feel like Edwardsville's attitude is
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the same where their offense you have no complaints, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: their defense was getting pieced up. But I guess they
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: did enough to hold on final score in this one
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: forty one thirty nine. Edwards Will hangs on for their
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: second straight conference win. Unfortunately, they did not have their
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: stats in, so to Bill Will East for losing the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: game and getting their stats in on time, good thinks.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you answers, we appreciate that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I do, sorry to cut you off. So
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it was thirty five to twenty. I was following Matt
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Kamps at tweets, so thank you Matt for keeping us updated.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: It was thirty five to twenty Edwardsville, I believe, I believe. Actually, wait,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: hold on, so Beverlys they yes, it was. And then
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they score three unanswered touchdowns to take the lead thirty
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: nine thirty five with fifty five seconds to play, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: then Edwardsville essentially this is their seasons on the line
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: right here. If they lose this game, they would they
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: would have gone one and four, and then they play
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: at East St. Louis this coming week. So this is
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: their season that year. Yes, they go I'm not even
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: sure if they had any timeouts if I remember that right,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: But they go eighty yards in forty seconds, and then
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on a twenty two yard pass from Yale wea we
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to Gavin Fray to Gavin Free I believe Frey Free
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: hauled in a pass, made a little kind of cut
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: up upfield and found his way into the end zone
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: with nine seconds to play. I believe, one of the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's one of the biggest plays Eversill's
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: had in a few seasons, I would imagine, especially with.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: The magnitude of the situation.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Well, it will be. It will be if they can
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: get into the playoffs this season.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: That's the season saving play.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: It is a season saving play, it is. And yeah,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, just another fantastic game between Edversville and bell Least.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: They've had some, they've had some. We've talked about Kirkwin
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and Edwardsil, Kirkwin, Arita, Ewardsville and Beverle Least. They've had
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: some pretty crazy games. I mean, twenty twenty three it
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: was back and forth, high scoring game, kind of like
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this one that we just saw. Then in two thousand and.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Two, edwards was a sixteen game winning streak against Bele East.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: They're almost all a lot of more very close games.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I mean you look at twenty nineteen, that was a
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: barn Burn twenty two to sixteen win for Edwardsville.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: And then they beat Bevile Least in twenty twenty two,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty seven.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: The next year they won forty ninety five.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that required it. And then and Beviell and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Eversill that was an overtime game twenty in twenty twenty two. Wow,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: So you gotta I mean wow for bever East, I mean,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: for people who have been paying attention to that, that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: must have been absolutely gut ranching because it's like we
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: finally like, oh my gosh, we finally got it, got
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: one over them right here, like surely right, but Thatsville drives,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and I mean I'm assuming East probably was kind of
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: in the somewhat of a prevent defense right there in
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: order for you know, to let them. I don't know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I was I didn't see that, but I saw the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: final play it was filmed. So yeah, an incredible game Foreverardzille.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I mean in Beverle East, I mean, they're they're still okay,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they're four and one now, they still got to play
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: East Saint Louis. They should make it to the playoffs though,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, but that one stinks because not only you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you don't you don't snap a sixteen game losing streak,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: but they probably, like if they were to win out,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, besides East St. Louis, I mean, they have
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a good chance of beating Alton Bevile West in Capital
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: City they would have gone eight and one. They probably
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: get a home game in the playoffs.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: They play Capital City, and that's an interesting matchup. Yeahy
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: is a decent team from jeff City.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: They are they actually they they they upset and they
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: upset rock Bridge the week before, and they kind of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: let one get away against Hickman, who's a good team too.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been They have a really someone who
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: runs there's a CMAC account on Instagram and they do
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: a great job. And so that's why I know a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: little bit of Capital City, So Bella least they're gonna
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: be okay. This this stings though, but.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: They needed this win so bad and they got Easting
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Lewis coming up at home. That's gonna be a tough game.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Speaking of East Louis, they'd beat Belville West sixty seven zero.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Not really surprised. I mean, they're they're you talk about
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: just the levels of talent of certain teams. East Lewis
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and CBC are in the league of their own, and
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Douville West is a decent.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Team, but.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: That talent gat it's just too big. It just and
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: when two teams like that pay each other and it's
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: not gonna it's gonna be pretty.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: There were some pretty good suburban games. Probably the best
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: one of the week was Parkway North taking down Hazewood
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: West thirty in overtime. No, no, it was an overt overtime,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: that's right. So they got to stop. So Hazelwood East
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they scored first, they don't get their two point conversion,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and then on a five yard on third and five,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: third and goal from the five yard line. Parkway North
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: they score on a reverse handoff to get into the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: end zone. I'm trying to pull up there the stats
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of the game.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: You don't have the guy who scored it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: No, I know who scored it is. I just want
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: to get the roster real quick. But so it was
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: also a big comeback win for North because they were
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: losing eighteen nothing in the first half, and it would
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: have been worse if Parkway, if East were if they
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: were able to, you know, convert at least one of
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: their two point conversions. Yeah, so you know, it could
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: have easily been twenty to nothing or twenty two nothing there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: But you know, they're able to kind of still keep it.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It was still a three score game, but a little
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: bit more manageable there. And I mean hazel East they
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: scored more touchdowns than North in the in regulation, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: it was only it was tied twenty four to twenty four.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: North got going late in the second half, and yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it ended up being it was It was pretty great.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So the guy who scored was Alex Harvey. He's a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: junior receiver. He's been he's been really good for them.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: He's kind of been their main playmaker. And he scored
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: on that reverse touchdown there and then Liam Nord kicked
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the game winning pat to win it. I was able
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to rush over from Hazel at West to literally get
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the final the series for Parkway North to score right there. Yeah. Yeah,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Kenyon Bolden, he was again, like everybody on North, struggled early,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: so he finished twelve of twenty six for two hundred
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: fifty three yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but he
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: did a lot better in the second half and crucial
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes there. And Harvey finished for four receptions for
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: ninety six yards. Kareem Burns had nine sixty nine receiving
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: yards for two receptions, and then Jordan McDavid had sixty
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: five yards on four receptions, so they got there. Those
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: are three receivers there who had really good games for
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the for them and his at least they don't have
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: their stats.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: And well, Parkway North they moved to four and one,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: should beat Parkway South this week, and then they got
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: a huge game in s Parkway West in a couple
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: of weeks big conference game as well.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: That's that Gravelly game too, that's probably gonna determine who
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: wins it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Should Green is the Suburban Green, Yeah, I really should
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: because both teams, they're the only two teams are three
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: not in conference right now, Parkway West and Parkway North.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I think give me a big one. I could see
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: that potentially the Suburban Green ending in a three way
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: tie for first place, because I could like for that
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: to happen, West would have to beat North and then
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: East East would have to beat Parkway West.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is possible.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's possible.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: He is a good team.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: That's a tough loss for Hazewood East two because they
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I just knowing that their district, how that plays out,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: they really don't have a strong schedule, so they really
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: needed to like win as many games as they can
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to have a pretty good seed. And so three and
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: two now they could win out. They could still feasibly
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: like be the three seed I think, or at most
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: of the two seed, but because they lost the LADO
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and LDU's right there would leapfrog them when the season ends.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: So they probably East probably played themselves out of a
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: one seed there. So that's why it's a particularly I mean,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I know they lost in overtime, but district seeding wise, yeah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it's especially a tough loss. And then Summit and Fox
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: had a weirdly amazing game. Well here's the thing about
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Fox man, they are brutal, brutally your Fox so far.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I mean this is when they were three of their
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: first three of their previous four games have been one
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: score losses.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: They lost a second twenty one fourteen in week two,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: they lost a writtener by one in week three after
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: they almost.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Came back and won, and then they fall to wrack
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: with some at twenty.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: To fourteen, and I mean they so they were down
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: twenty to seven with about I think it was eight
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: minutes left, and they were able to drive down and
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: get a score to make it twenty to fourteen. But
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: they were unable to get to the on side kick.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: No, I think they did. No, No, that the last
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: play the game. I think like they were in the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: red zone and had the ball. Man if I'm if
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the clip I had is what it is. Yeah, so
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I think they did recover the on side kick and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: we're really close to scoring. But they had the I
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: mean they had to throw it, that's not what they did.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They had one completion all game for six yards.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean Fox is a team they kind
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: of have.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Aching attack is good. They one rushing game five and
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a half yards were carry. They have a good rushing attack.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: They have a ben don't break defense, but they can
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: control a game with their run, with their run game,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: especially if teams just aren't that discipline and maybe have
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: played don't want to be so physical. You know, they
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: play a grueling style of football. It's not fun, it's
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: not pretty, but they get they get results and obviously, okay,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: so they haven't gotten results quite so this year. They've
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: had success that just hasn't related to success on the scoreboard. Yeah,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: but I mean, as you kind of can see, they've
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: they can play with some good teams.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Well, they won the turnover battle three zero.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: So I know someone's going to.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Say that, I mean, someone is the better team, and
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: they're gonna say that they should not have been in
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the spot. They should not only be beating Fox by six,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: which is probably true. And if someone can take care
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: of the football, then this game is probably a two
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: or three score game. But got to do credit to
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Fox for forcing the turnovers, keeping it closed the whole time,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: and they were in to the last play of the game.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, because it was twenty to seven in the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and they must have had some pretty good
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: like goal line stands because they forced someone in the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: two field goals two short field goals, which play a
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: huge difference in the game because you know, if they
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: score on one of those, you know it's that game's
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: out of reach. So yeah, Fox is a greedy team.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm talking more. I'm praising Fox
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: for more more than Summit here. But I just think
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: they've they've made some strides this year and the record
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: really doesn't show it. But if you look inside of
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the stats and you know the kind of the game scores,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: it's it tells you more about kind of who Fox
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: really is. And as for Summit, like what I've been
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: saying for like the last few weeks, they just they
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: don't make it pretty and they keep it like, they
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: keep it interesting, but they find a way to win.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of who they are. They're five and oh,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: but it's not been a glamorous kind of five and
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: oh because they've had some really close. They've had some
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: close wins and you know, but I would say so far,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: their best win is probably beating I really liked how
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they beat Oakville. I mean, they started kind of slow,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: but they really took over in the second quarter of
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the game and kind of one off of that and
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: control the game the rest of the way. And they
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: won thirty one sixteen. And they had a close win
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: over Mollene who and that's Mouleen's only lost this season.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Mollene's four and one, by the way, and other other
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: than that weird Lindberg game week too.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Some of defense has been pre I'm convinced weeks they have,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm convinced some of they just completely let let
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: their guard down against Limberg. Yeah, and Limbert did a
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: good job of kind of controlling like they called good
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: plays as far as like they were kind of treating
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: like the last fourth quarter like it was a two
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: minute drill. So I think they did a good job
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: approaching it like that. But I think some it just
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: kind of let their guard down and that's kind of
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: what happened. So but they're not going to complain. Ultimately,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: that was a few weeks ago and they're five and one,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and they got a huge they got They got two
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: huge games coming up against Eureka and LaDue that probably
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: are going to define their season potentially. There's another pretty
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: good game to Suburban game to that slip my mind,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: but I thought there was another good one of Oakville Secment. Yeah,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Oakfield Seconman Seconment. That was a that was a huge
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: win for them, and I was, honestly, this is their
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: best win in a long time. My second defeats final
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: score fourteen to ten, Yeah Oakfield.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: There are no points at all on the.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Second half between both teams.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Just like the West game against Party Weston Summit or
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Second Seconment, I think the only points ever scored was
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Secman and that was it. And but this time Secmen
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: they were able to rely on their defense to get
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: the job done against what has been a good Oakville
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: offense this season. Oakville was coming into the game, I think,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: averaging over thirty thirty points a game, and they're able
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: to hold them to just ten points and only scored
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: for Oakville was in the first quarter.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: So only three hundred and sixty eight total yards of
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: offense combined between both teams this game.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Defensive battle, especially in the second half.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're ringing turnovers either.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: So just there was there was so segment did lose one.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Fumble and that was the turnover I believe.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so not even really just a slappy offensive game,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: you know, turnover wise, just defense is making a lot
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: of stops, a lot of stops.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely good. I guess overall, nice disciplined by
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: both teams for the most part. If you only have
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: one turnover game, you know that's I guess you'll take that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, obviously you want you want no turnovers,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: but if if it's the worst one, then I guess
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: it's okay.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: We got to mention Francis Howell. Yeah, competing is in
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: all West we both picked in the ninet team in
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: the final score. He both picked how to win that game.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: And even though they were two into both teams were
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: two and.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Two going into it, and no stats were in Ye
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: your team, come on, Yeah, so we don't know what
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: We literally don't know what happened, but we do know.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Howel was up thirty one to twelve, and then I
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: think West.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: They were able to get it. They were close it
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: was close in the first half then and Hal was
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: able to kind of get a few scores to stretch
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the leading, kind of keep it a one that two
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: score game the rest of the way. Yeah, but we
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: one things that we kind of predicted a little bit
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: was we were both confident that Hal could put a
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: have a good game defensively against West who just frankly
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: has struggled all season offensively, and you know, Howl's been
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: They're still a pretty well coach. I mean, both teams
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: are well coach, but defensively they're they got plenty of
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: guys who are you know, capable of playing good football.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Caden Duncan's a pretty good linebacker for them, and uh yeah,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but offensively, that was a pretty good game for Francis Hall.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Able to put up thirty one on ZUMO West is
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: is not easy. So that's overall pretty solid game for
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: for Hall and huge because they're now now they're three
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: and two and three and two conference got Shrey this week.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: There should be a tough one. That's probably a good
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: chance that's gonna come down. That's that might be the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: unofficial conference championship game. The way things are going. Yeah, yeah,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I mean that's yeah, it really is.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I mean unless someone, unless a massive upset occurs in
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: week seven or eight, then that's the de fact of
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: GSC South Conference title game.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Francis, Troy beat Francis. How they're off to a
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: rough start, I think Francis Is how Central they were
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: winning at halftime I think twenty to ten or seventeen
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to ten, I think. But then Troy responded pretty quickly
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: and very shortly into the second half. It was they
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: took the lead and never looked back and they got going.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: They must have made some adjustments offensively and really got
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: going there and pulled away from So.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: This is this is kind of funny how Central falls
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: to one four or one win being a thirty four
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: to twenty one winn against the Bianni. Right, so if
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: how Central beats Yanni by thirteen and this beats him
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: by fourteen, is a one in four GC South team as.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Good as this?
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: No, No, I know, I kid, because that now that works? No, right,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: It just kind of goes to show how weird this season.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Has been so far. But it has been really weird.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: It's been weird picking games and it's yeah, it's one
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: of the weird seasons we've had in a while. You
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: can't really look at two teams and take them at
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: face value.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah you can. It's harder that way this season, though,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, a few of the scores that weren't
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: as close I think are worth mentioning. Festus destroyed Hillsboro.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: I think the final score was forty to fourteen. It
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: was I believe, Yeah, yeah, Festut They look really good.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I mean the Tigers they can run the ball, and
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: they can pass, and they got a good defense. No
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: stats in for that game, but festest is five zero.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: And then they play North Calendon around out their conference schedule.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: They should win that game. And then they go to
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: to smet in week sceven. That should be very interesting.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: It will be very very interesting, a really good game.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: They have the two Ecley teams to finish the year,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: with Farmington and Jackson.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Well, actually it's no longer at Jackson so well he's
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: the current coach Farmington and with the former coach of
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Jacks they're not gonna like that. Yeah, we got to
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: talk about Zoomalt North and Liberty. That was I think
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: by far, Zumalt North's most complete game of the season.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Final score to this one, twenty five zero Panthers win
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: against Liberty very one of the most odd score lines
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: we'll ever see, twenty five to zero. This is because
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: of a touchdown with the Mad Pat seven zero touchdown,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: missed Pat thirteen zero fuel goal to end and a
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: half to make it sixteen yeah, sixteen zero at half time,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: and then a Fueld goal in the third core is
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: gonna make it nineteen zero, and then a touchdown halfway
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: through the fourth quarter with a failed two point conversion
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: to make it twenty five to zero. So a good
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: offensive game for Zumalt North. I mean, twenty five points
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: isn't a crazy amount, but I mean their offense had
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: almost three to fifty total yards, nine rushing yards over
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: five ANLF yards per carry. It's a decent total for
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Zumalt North. Foster he continues to have a decent season.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: He is ninety rushing yards this game, five or ten
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: passing sixty different passing yards, and he had the He had.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Two of the three rushing touchdowns for Forts Maltmoorth. But
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the defense was the story of the game, allowing one
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven total yards to Liberty, who came
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: in averaging I want to say, over forty points. And
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: they played some decent teams too, So this was you know,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: this is still a good Liberty team. But I always well,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about this, like like that was
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the one game that like, you know, I don't just
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: historically they've never beaten Zimalt northon never even and even
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: just they've always struggled offensively too against them. So yeah,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: this is the one game this season where I'm like, yeah,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: if they're going to lose a game, it's gonna be
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: this one, Liberty.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Liberty is begging for coach Cooper to retire at least
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: leave mult North, which he's the defensive career there. I don't.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon because he
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: has he has contained the Eagle offense, even after they've
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: pushed offensive schemes last year. They they've found a way
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: to contain because they had Zimal North had four sacks.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Xavier Jackson's back for the Panthers.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Oh that's huge after he got injured against how they
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: also won the turn over battle to zero.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: So that was big for Zamalt North. But yeah, not
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: not not the flashiest score line.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously they would prefer to win by more points,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: but a very solid performance for both sides of the
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: ball that you can we aren't going to find too
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: many complaints about. I'll just so congrats to Zamald North
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: are winning. They stayed in the feed in the conference play.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: They got a couple of zam White rivals coming up
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: East and South. They should win those games. Both East
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: and South are pretty mediocre so far, so that should
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: set up a very very interesting weekend matchup between Zimalt
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: North and north Point.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah and north Point. They yeah, they're looking like, yeah,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: North and north Point that the same thing that North
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Point and North looks like they're on a Collisch courtse
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: for week eight to be undefeated and they had not undefeated.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: But oh sorry, sorry sorry, but yeah, I forgot about
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I'm feeding conference. But North Point had a really weird
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: game against Zumal East where they only won twenty two nothing.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know what. Sometimes they have those weekends in
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: the GAC where it's like, okay, well the better team won,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: but kind of a weird especially weird stat line there
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: scoring fifty.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: One points against Liberty and then they only get twenty
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: two against.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: But they only get twenty two in the forest three turnovers.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very odd. You know what, I think this has
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: improved Zumal East team though it is just given their standards.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: They're two and three, but I mean they lost by
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: five to a good use of the U city. Is
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: way better than they were last year. Yeah. Maybe they
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: eat Zumalt South and I think they ended like South
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: was three and oh going in there.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: They were and that's that's that's the I mean, you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Zumal northl South is a big rivalry, but Zumal East
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Well South I think is a big rivalry for those.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both in Saint Peter is both off of Mexico Road.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: All three not all, I mean three the Zumwalts are
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: on the same road, not technically because the Well West
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: is on Turtle Creek Drive and then Simalias is on
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: I think First Execut but their drive off but they're
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: pretty much on Mexico Road.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: You can turn off of Mexico Road into the into
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the parking. Yeah, yeah, so you're you're off Mexico Road. Yeah,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: and well, oh yeah, well in Zoomal East they are. Yeah,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: you're right, they technically are not off of I guess
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Mexico Road. They're right there that they're right there, but
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: you can't turn into the school from Mexico Road right there.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Pretty much, the're pretty much on Mexico Road. Yeah, but
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: it's kind of funny how three of the four high
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: schools in the Multipool district are on the same road
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: pretty much. That's always been funny to me.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like that with Clayton Road with Lafayette
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Parkway West and LaDou. Yeah, it is right.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Different districts, but yeah, that's it's a little that's.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: A road yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, even though it is
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: technically off Warson Road, but it's right there. Yeah, and
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Lafayette's little at the end of Clayton Road.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: In other news, St. Dominic if he did Cape Central
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: by thirteen points, I believe, yeah, big win, Yeah, big win.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: St.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Dominic goes to five and zer.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: They were able to control this game really from the jump.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: They were up fourteen seven at halftime and then just
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: kept Cape Central's offense and checked the whole time. I mean,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: nothing crazy offensively for Saint Dominic. I mean, Brenach Sachin
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: didn't have the best game, but you know, fortunately firstame
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: we talked about it last week. Saint Dominic usually has
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: a really good passing and rushing attack and if one
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: of those two maybe disappointed, they can just look at
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: the other. And Dominic Palo had an amazing game for
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Saint Dominic. He had thirty two carries for two to
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: fourteen rushing yards. Didn't have a touchdown, but amazing. He's
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: their bellcow back for sure. Hayden Bollinger had two of
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the touchdowns for Saint Dominic. Ryan Square at the other one.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean they've they've st Dominic for three
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: turnovers and they're looking.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Really good so far, really really good.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: And they got it was good of their It was
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: good to see their defense needing to step up and
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: win a game essentially for them.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got you coming up. They should win
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: that game pretty easily, and they got a decent rolla
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: team after that. But it is a home game and
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: they're at my CDs in the week eight. That one
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: should be interesting and then they host Westminster in the year.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: So if they can come in un AFEW against my
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: CDs and win that game, that's that's a nine in
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: a year for Saint Dominic.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so it'd be their second. I think they
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: went nine and oh and two years ago.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Two years ago they went nine. To know that's correct,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah and.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just branished the scene. He was their quarterback
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: as a sophomore that year too. All right, I want
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: to go to Illinois for a few more games. Uh.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Triad with a huge victory over Highland forty two. I
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: really do know what I mean. I think we both
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: picked Highland, but I honestly did not know what to
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: expect much out of that game since both teams have
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: kind of been rocky so far. But it looks like
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Triad's figured some things out.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Triad started the year off really slow and still fallon
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: and they've just gotten better read by week, which obviously
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: you don't want to start all off slow, but you know,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: coaches always emphasize how good can we be by playoffs?
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: How good can we how much can we improve it
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: by week? So I'm sure the Triad coaches are happy
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: with the performance they're getting. And you know, it'll be
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I think the last time these two teams play in
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: conference in the Mississippi.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Valley it will be. Yeah.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of unfortunate.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Because these two teams are gonna would say recent.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I would say it's fortunate and unfortunate because I actually
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: really like the the where the Southwestern Conference is going
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: with that with getting Mascuita and Triad in there. It
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: is kind of more unfortunate for Highland because as of
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: right now, they're going to be in the South seven and.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of travel, a.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Lot of travel, and that's not going to include Centrallia
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: because in Trallia they're going to go into the Koki
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: and Mississippi.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: That just doesn't make any sense. Yeah, that's a that's
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: a difference that's gonna have to that's gonna Southwest Illinois
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: conferences are gonna be changing. There's no way that sticks.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no way.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I think we talked about this briefly in the offseason,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: but that's very odd, and now that it comes back
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: up again, it's like, wow, Yeah, this is gonna be weird.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah. And then all to off with a kind
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: of a shocking loss to Mount Vernon twenty nine to
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: twenty eight where they led I believe that was a
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: game where they led twenty eight to twenty two, and then.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon scores two touchdowns unanswered the fourth quarter to
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: take the lead and win the game.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I just it's it's just an interesting game
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: right there. I mean, it looks like all Tops offense
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: did a fairly good.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Job over three hundred yards and all toof gets seven
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: sacks and still loses the game. Man.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's brutal. So one thing that's interesting about
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the South seven teams is that you never quite know
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. And it's actually some decent brand
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: of football down there too. But then I was kind
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: of a little high on Marion because of what they
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: did to All tof beating in fifty six twenty four.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: But then Kahokia they come in and they take down
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Mary in twenty eight to twenty two and really in
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: a huge win for Khokia especially, you know, given what
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Marion had done. And they I don't know Marion's stats,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: but actually they do have their stats, thank you, and
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: actually they do. Kokie did a really good job on
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Callahan Roper, who he had a huge game against all
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: tough and it's had a pretty good season as a passer.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they held him to one hundred and eighty
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: two yards for one touchdown and three interceptions, So that
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: was absolutely big for Kahokia to kind of limit the
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: passing game, and they had a really good run game overall.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: They totaled four hundred and eighty seven yards Cohokio with
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: two hundred andy six rushing yards. Five four guys with
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: over forty five yards in this game, including two from
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Ernest Winters who had eighty five yards on just two carries.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: And then Nigel Gooden had a good game two hundred
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: one yards to sounds, one interception. He also had fifty
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: two rushing yards in the game. Uh there, So yeah,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: really good win for Cohokia and they got some big
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: games coming up with Mount Vernon in Centralia. And then
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: also Collins is a pretty good game. I mean Collins
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: older three and two, so they're improved. Who knows, who
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: knows where they'll be in week eight. So yeah, they
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: got three good games ahead of them. Uh for the
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Comanches there, and I think that's all I got. Free
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Bird beat Columbia. That's huge. Yeah, that was a little yeah,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: because Columbia they've been really good and kind of winning there.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Columbia was obviously obviously they're pretty good at winning because
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: they're four and one. John nice. Uh idiotic.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: I was just concerned about that. I mean, I know
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Brie Central is good this year. I mean they they
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: won again their form one, but I mean Freeberg played
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: pretty terribly against pre Central.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: So I was kind of it was really nothing at halftime,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: and then Brie Central just ran away from them. So
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I think there's you got to put some stock in
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: it of that.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and fortunately Freeberg was able to not have a
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: second half blues for the second week in a row.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: And you know they do enough to win this game
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: twenty three fourteen against Columbia, and both teams are four
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: and one, and they're both one and one in the
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Kochie Mississippi. So that makes it that makes think the
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Kochie Mississippi is a mess this year. But it's a
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: nice mess it is. You got four teams that are
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: one and one in the conference, es Central being the
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: only two and o team will ever being the only
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: one to two team.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: You've got four four and one teams. Yeah, it's awesome.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna stay. It's not gonna stay the same
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: this week because Roxanne and Freedberg are gonna play against
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: each other, but they should have. That's that's crazy. That
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: that's a four team that's a six team conference, and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: they should have four teams go to the playoffs. It's awesome. Yeah,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: you love seeing it.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of what we were saying last week about
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: how we won as many single as area teams as
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: possible to make the playoffs.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get that. So they listened. Yeah, asking you shall.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Receive any other games we are missing that are worth
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: and we mentioned it everything. On the top off, ye'd beat.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Pattonville thirty five nothing, kind of how we thought it
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: was going to go there. So the other game, the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: only other game I filmed was will do It? Hazeld West?
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: But not really much to talk about. That picked by
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the hazeld West kid was pretty insane. Yeah, that was
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: the best killed, but it was it was a good
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: point to be the best interception I think I've ever
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: seen in person.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: It was an extremely athletic.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: It just came from out of nowhere to like it's
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: like thirty two nothing. I think at that point, whatever
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: game's going, you know, is gonna win. And then all
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: of a sudden he just picks that dandy out of
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: the air like that. Yeah. L'du's defense is defense, very
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: very good.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Insane game.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they they actually so the offense only scored twenty
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: four points, but the defense scored fifteen points. If I'm
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: going to talk about anything, it's just we'll do is.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: I think has got a pretty pretty good team, and
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: they could be pretty great if they had a good offense.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: But uh, I just I hope it all works out.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: But because they got they got pretty good weapons at receiver,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: and their offensive line is young, but they've gotten better
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: every game, and they can run the ball better too.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: It's just it's all gonna come down to quarterback play
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: ultimately to see how far they can go. But I
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: rate them highly because I think they got one of
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the better defenses in the whole state, sorry, in the
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: whole area. And they definitely got one of the best
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: defenses in Class five two. And they're the only team
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: in the Suburban Red right now that's actually.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah saying I think saying one of the best defenses
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: in Class five is a bit much.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. If you, well, they're the only
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: team actually in the Suburban Red that's actually averaging less
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: than twenty points a game defensively, and that's being inflated
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: because of the Troy game Week one. So ever since then,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: they've actually their defense has been really good.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Since then, it's been a good defense. But I don't
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: know if it's saying one of the best in Class
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: five is that, I don't know if that's warranted.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and it's and statistically it doesn't hold up.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: But just from what I've seen and who they have
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: on their team, Mason Martin, Brendan Huddleston, Bastics and Guess Logan,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: They've they got a pretty nasty defense.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: It's not a it's not a true GSV podcast episode
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: if some Lado bias does not leak through.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time. It's been a long time,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, since I've been able to kind of
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: make some claims like this about thank God, and I'm
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoying it. First four and one start to a
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: season since twenty twenty one.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: But it should be five to one because they play
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Park more.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Central should be, So it'll be a nice they'll be
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: a nice homecoming game. There's a lot of I mean,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be a probably not going to
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: be a good game because you know, Central is just
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: not very good. But there's a lot of history between
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: the Doo and Parkway Central.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: And so well you can't little do can't You know?
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: They got to keep working because if they if they
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: fall asleep here, they they might lose three in a
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: row down the year because their last three games are tough, Well.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: They'd be tough games. They're not going to lose because
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: because of falling asleep, because they are well aware of
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: what's ahead of them. But it's just I think it's
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: just going to come down to execution on offense in
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: those games, to be honest. So having said that, do
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: you want to wrap it up there? Yeah? All right,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: on that negative note, We'll see you guys. We'll see
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: you guys later this week for the Week six previews. Peace,
