- 0:16Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome into the Bathel Football Coaches Show. I'm
- 0:18Speaker 1: your host Ryland Spencer. Along with me, as always is
- 0:21Speaker 1: the head coach of the Bofel Cougars, Tom Painter coach.
- 0:23Speaker 1: How are we doing doing?
- 0:25Speaker 2: Good? Good morning, Rylan, Yeah.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Good morning. Not a whole lot to talk about this week,
- 0:29Speaker 1: is you know, normally we've got a freshman game, a
- 0:32Speaker 1: JV game, really just the one thing to talk about,
- 0:35Speaker 1: so we'll just get right into it.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Coach.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Seventeen fourteen loss on the road at Moses Lake. But
- 0:41Speaker 1: you know, kind of more to it the trip over.
- 0:44Speaker 1: I mean, personally, I had a lot of fun, even though.
- 0:47Speaker 2: We did lose.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Obviously, you know, it is a business trip and that's
- 0:52Speaker 1: the end goal is to win there. But little trip
- 0:55Speaker 1: on the way over stopped at Central Washington University, So
- 0:57Speaker 1: I guess we need to thank the wildcatotball program over there,
- 1:01Speaker 1: the athletic department. The field is used by more than
- 1:03Speaker 1: just the football program. But and then they went on
- 1:07Speaker 1: the road and got a crazy end of you know,
- 1:10Speaker 1: no time left. They got to win there down at
- 1:13Speaker 1: Western Oregon. But yeah, and then you know, we get
- 1:16Speaker 1: out to Moses Lake. Our booster club has Chipotle ready
- 1:19Speaker 1: to go for us. It was delicious, by the way,
- 1:22Speaker 1: a little spicy on the red sauce. I don't know
- 1:23Speaker 1: if you had any of that, but that was a
- 1:25Speaker 1: little warm on the mouth. But and then a movie
- 1:28Speaker 1: we got to see. I believe it was called now
- 1:30Speaker 1: you see Me, Now you don't or something like that.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And over all though the day out there kind of
- 1:36Speaker 1: a fun little trip and you know, the walkthrough at
- 1:40Speaker 1: Central Washington. Coach, it's always fun to take athletes, high
- 1:43Speaker 1: school athletes to a college program, let them see what
- 1:47Speaker 1: goes on there.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think when you do these things,
- 1:50Speaker 2: you make the most of it. You know. I think
- 1:53Speaker 2: it's the experience that kids get when playing sports that really,
- 1:57Speaker 2: you know, determine their true valued later in life. And yeah,
- 2:00Speaker 2: you know, I think you you know, we got to
- 2:02Speaker 2: ride a the charter bus is over. You know, that's
- 2:06Speaker 2: kind of a special thing for kids. They don't get
- 2:08Speaker 2: in those often. And then you know, we stopped at
- 2:11Speaker 2: Central Washington University, like you said, and had an outstanding
- 2:14Speaker 2: walkthrough and another team was there. It was kind of
- 2:16Speaker 2: fun to share a field for a while. And then
- 2:18Speaker 2: you know, you know, they were kind of we overlap
- 2:21Speaker 2: by about fifteen minutes, is all. But you know, it's
- 2:24Speaker 2: good to see other other programs kind of doing the
- 2:26Speaker 2: same thing, most making the most of it. We pull
- 2:28Speaker 2: into Moses Lake and we check into the hotel and
- 2:32Speaker 2: so welcoming and everybody we ran into, from the people
- 2:35Speaker 2: at the theater to you know, the Chipotle group, and
- 2:39Speaker 2: everybody was very kind and welcoming, and so it was
- 2:42Speaker 2: a great trip. And you know, team building and bonding,
- 2:46Speaker 2: and you know, that's what you hope for, and I
- 2:48Speaker 2: think we got that.
- 2:49Speaker 1: I have to say the went into the into the
- 2:52Speaker 1: theater not really sure what to expect out of this movie.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I'd never heard of it never Apparently it's a second
- 2:58Speaker 1: or third of a series of movie. I thought it
- 3:02Speaker 1: was a pretty good movie, Coach. It had a lot
- 3:04Speaker 1: of fun. The popcorn was fantastic, even even the the
- 3:08Speaker 1: Reese's pieces, which by the way, are way better than
- 3:12Speaker 1: Peanut butter M and MS. I don't care what anybody says,
- 3:14Speaker 1: but let's talk about the game seventeen fourteen loss. Here
- 3:17Speaker 1: we are a couple of days later. Have you had
- 3:20Speaker 1: a chance to to just sit back, maybe watch a
- 3:22Speaker 1: little bit of the film and come away with some things.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, uh, you know, I think I think
- 3:30Speaker 2: the challenge in this game is is you know, I
- 3:34Speaker 2: think people feel like you know, it was it was
- 3:36Speaker 2: made more difficult with with some of the officiating calls.
- 3:39Speaker 2: But you know, you got to get past that. And
- 3:42Speaker 2: and the fact of the matter is, you know, we
- 3:44Speaker 2: we we made some blunders on special teams. You know,
- 3:47Speaker 2: we we we get a safety on a special team,
- 3:50Speaker 2: we give up a two point conversion on a fake
- 3:53Speaker 2: field pat we we you know, miss the field goal.
- 4:00Speaker 2: There's a couple of times where we missed a block
- 4:03Speaker 2: or two on a kick return that may have you know,
- 4:05Speaker 2: sprung us a little further. We missed a tackle early
- 4:09Speaker 2: in a kick return that you know, could have put
- 4:10Speaker 2: them deeper in a hole. So you know, when you
- 4:13Speaker 2: look at the the overall, you know, game, you you
- 4:16Speaker 2: gotta you've got to find the things that you can
- 4:19Speaker 2: improve upon. And and uh, you know, we we we
- 4:24Speaker 2: had our opportunities, and you know, we we just didn't
- 4:27Speaker 2: execute as well as we we normally do or have
- 4:30Speaker 2: some times. And you know that's football, that's that's all sports.
- 4:33Speaker 2: And so, uh, you know, proud of our kids for
- 4:36Speaker 2: their fight and effort and their their ability to focus
- 4:39Speaker 2: and stay in the game and and play to the end.
- 4:41Speaker 2: And and you know that's that's what we'll you know,
- 4:44Speaker 2: look look back on and take from from this game.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Uh. You said something in the locker room that kind
- 4:50Speaker 1: of hit me hard. It's you know, I'm a firm
- 4:54Speaker 1: believer in. I'm a firm believer in. There's a quote
- 4:59Speaker 1: about being the strongest, strongest man at your dad's funeral.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And for me, I don't think I show emotion at times.
- 5:11Speaker 1: It was a very emotional locker room after the game.
- 5:13Speaker 1: You said something though that really hit me and paraphrasing
- 5:18Speaker 1: a bit here, but it was something to the effect
- 5:19Speaker 1: of to the effect of we as coaches will have
- 5:23Speaker 1: more Bathel football teams in the future starting next year,
- 5:26Speaker 1: but many of you will never have another Bathel football
- 5:28Speaker 1: team ever again. And I think that's there's something there
- 5:37Speaker 1: that I think people don't think of when it comes
- 5:40Speaker 1: down to it. And you know, it's hard because so
- 5:44Speaker 1: many of these players have been here for four years
- 5:46Speaker 1: and we're part of the Junior Kugs for four or
- 5:48Speaker 1: five years, I don't even know how long. So they've
- 5:51Speaker 1: been Bothel Cougar's for so long, especially with football, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: now here they are maybe never getting to put on
- 5:59Speaker 1: that bathelbe or the h or the paw ever again.
- 6:01Speaker 1: And it's something that you don't maybe really think of
- 6:05Speaker 1: until you're sitting in that locker room in that moment.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, there's excuse me, there's a
- 6:10Speaker 2: lot of emotion at the end of a season if
- 6:13Speaker 2: you care, if you've put in the effort. You know,
- 6:15Speaker 2: when you when you put your heart and soul into
- 6:17Speaker 2: something and then it's and then it's over. It ends.
- 6:20Speaker 2: There's a finality to it that that that's you know, difficult.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Every every locker room I've ever been in and the
- 6:27Speaker 2: last game has been awful, except for twenty fourteen when
- 6:30Speaker 2: you win the state championship, and it's just a it's
- 6:35Speaker 2: just something that we try to tell our kids, you know,
- 6:37Speaker 2: when when when January fifth comes around this year and
- 6:40Speaker 2: we start lifting, it's the beginning of the next season.
- 6:44Speaker 2: It's it's the beginning. I get another beginning. There's there's
- 6:48Speaker 2: a it is a brand new football team. Our character
- 6:51Speaker 2: will be slightly different, our work ethic will always be
- 6:54Speaker 2: a little different, the execution will be different, will will
- 6:58Speaker 2: fit our schemes around the next year's players that will
- 7:01Speaker 2: be on the field and and and so, uh, we
- 7:05Speaker 2: will do a lot of the things that every Bothel
- 7:07Speaker 2: Cougar football player has ever done, but it'll be different
- 7:10Speaker 2: because it's a different group. And and you go from
- 7:12Speaker 2: that moment and you know, you're aware of this, but
- 7:16Speaker 2: you got kids coming and going all the way through
- 7:18Speaker 2: January to June. You know, I'm gonna play and now
- 7:21Speaker 2: I'm not gonna play, and I didn't lift, but I
- 7:23Speaker 2: want to play. And and you got spring football and
- 7:25Speaker 2: they'll be coming and going and then and then you
- 7:29Speaker 2: and then you go to you know, our campfire Letters
- 7:31Speaker 2: of Affirmation and you know that's kind of the beginning
- 7:34Speaker 2: of the solidification of the WII and who's on board,
- 7:39Speaker 2: and you know there's still be some guys on the peripheral,
- 7:41Speaker 2: but we'll try to pull them on or they'll they'll
- 7:43Speaker 2: get off. And and and then the season happens and
- 7:46Speaker 2: you grow so much. You know, you handle you know,
- 7:50Speaker 2: in season practices. Now with with with the fact that
- 7:53Speaker 2: you got school and and you're tired, and and you're
- 7:56Speaker 2: you're lifting, and you got homework and you've got issue
- 8:00Speaker 2: use with you know, friends or whatever. It's just a
- 8:04Speaker 2: it's a struggle, and it's and it's three months that
- 8:07Speaker 2: goes by as quick as any time in your life,
- 8:10Speaker 2: and and then it's over. And even if you're a
- 8:14Speaker 2: junior on this year's team, you know you won't get
- 8:17Speaker 2: to play with our seniors ever again. You know, you
- 8:19Speaker 2: just it won't won't happen. It's something special about high
- 8:24Speaker 2: school football that I don't think people get. You know,
- 8:28Speaker 2: you can argue, and I'm gonna go off for a
- 8:29Speaker 2: second here, but you can argue that other sports are great.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I think every sport, you know, when I was playing,
- 8:35Speaker 2: the sport I was in was my favorite sport. But
- 8:37Speaker 2: but there's something different about football, the physicality. I think
- 8:42Speaker 2: coaches demand a little bit more from football players than
- 8:47Speaker 2: maybe other other athletes. You know. And there might be
- 8:50Speaker 2: guys that argue with that I and they might be right.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I just know that, you know, we get on kids
- 8:56Speaker 2: in a in a way because we demand from them.
- 8:59Speaker 2: We see their potential, and we don't like the direction
- 9:04Speaker 2: they're going in at times with effort or attitude or
- 9:08Speaker 2: what they did in class or and and and it's
- 9:11Speaker 2: like a parent would to their own kid and I
- 9:14Speaker 2: just don't see people going to the baseball coach, the
- 9:17Speaker 2: basketball coach, the track coach and tattling on the kid
- 9:20Speaker 2: because he was late to class or he you know,
- 9:22Speaker 2: he took it too long of a bathroom break. And
- 9:25Speaker 2: I love it that we do. It's just different. But
- 9:27Speaker 2: it's that it's those demands that that are different. And
- 9:31Speaker 2: the effort, energy, passion is great. And you know, I
- 9:38Speaker 2: kids tell coaches tell kids they love them, and you know,
- 9:41Speaker 2: you hear that back and you get back to the
- 9:43Speaker 2: locker room now that you're talking about and it's devastating.
- 9:47Speaker 2: There's a you know, it's a good thing moms aren't
- 9:49Speaker 2: in there because you know, I don't know that they'd
- 9:51Speaker 2: handle it. It's sobbing. Men who put their you know,
- 9:56Speaker 2: heart and soul online physically in a collision sport for
- 10:02Speaker 2: the love of their team and their and their brothers,
- 10:05Speaker 2: and then when it ends, it's it's difficult. It's a
- 10:08Speaker 2: it's a wonderful lesson in life because life will have
- 10:11Speaker 2: loss in it, and ye it helps you to get
- 10:14Speaker 2: through those times. I believe in the future, but but
- 10:17Speaker 2: you know that that's that's what I'm trying to help
- 10:20Speaker 2: every kid with is this isn't about us coaches. And
- 10:23Speaker 2: we've been to playoffs before, We've won state championship, we've
- 10:26Speaker 2: lost state championship. We've had we've had all that and
- 10:29Speaker 2: next year we'll have it again, just with a different group,
- 10:31Speaker 2: but the seniors won't. And that's what I'm trying to
- 10:35Speaker 2: you know, I'm trying to help kids through. You get
- 10:38Speaker 2: this one shot. It's one year. It seems like a
- 10:40Speaker 2: year is a long time, but it goes by so quickly,
- 10:43Speaker 2: and you'll make the most of it, that's all.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, it's it's always hard to be
- 10:51Speaker 1: in that locker room and to look around and you know,
- 10:54Speaker 1: you see some of these seniors that you're just like,
- 10:57Speaker 1: that guy's a phenomenal football player, All league, potentially All State,
- 11:02Speaker 1: all this all that he's put in, all this work,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and he'll probably never put on shoulder pads in a
- 11:08Speaker 1: helmet again, you know, because there's no it's it's totally different.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You can't just go to the YMCA and throw on
- 11:15Speaker 1: some shoulder pads in a helmet and go play some football,
- 11:18Speaker 1: you know, whereas basketball you can. And that's one of
- 11:21Speaker 1: the things that makes football just so incredibly different. You know,
- 11:24Speaker 1: if if you talk about you know, wrestling as a
- 11:27Speaker 1: sport that demands a lot, but it's more of an
- 11:31Speaker 1: individual thing. You don't think about team a compliments accomplishments
- 11:35Speaker 1: as much in wrestling, and wrestling you can go do
- 11:39Speaker 1: later in life. Football, sure, yeah you can. You can
- 11:41Speaker 1: go play some semi pro football, but nobody really does that.
- 11:44Speaker 1: I mean when I say nobody, I'm talking very very
- 11:47Speaker 1: small percentage of people will go do some semi pro
- 11:52Speaker 1: football or go play on a a. There's no rec
- 11:54Speaker 1: leagues for football. There just isn't. Yeah, you can go
- 11:57Speaker 1: play flag football, but it's a totally different game. I
- 12:01Speaker 1: thought it was interesting, you know, you just said, you know,
- 12:04Speaker 1: three months it goes by really quickly, and I'm just
- 12:07Speaker 1: sitting her thinking about it. It's like it just seems
- 12:09Speaker 1: like just the other day we're standing at a really
- 12:12Speaker 1: warm high Line Memorial Stadium watching Matt Small throw a
- 12:16Speaker 1: deep bomb to Carlon Gaughner. And you know, I remember
- 12:19Speaker 1: our podcast after that, you and I were talking about
- 12:22Speaker 1: the whole fact that we walk into that game really
- 12:25Speaker 1: not even knowing anything about our team other than who
- 12:28Speaker 1: the guys are and what are we going to get
- 12:31Speaker 1: out of this team, didn't really know. And then you
- 12:33Speaker 1: sit back and you look at it now and you go, man,
- 12:36Speaker 1: the things that we accomplished were just it's some of
- 12:39Speaker 1: the things are just truly great.
- 12:40Speaker 2: You know, two.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Running backs rushing for two hundred yards in a game.
- 12:45Speaker 1: If you would have told me we were going to
- 12:46Speaker 1: do that at the beginning of the season, I would
- 12:48Speaker 1: have said, Hey, you know what, we're probably gonna have
- 12:50Speaker 1: a heck of a season. And when you just sit
- 12:52Speaker 1: back and look at it, the things that we accomplished
- 12:54Speaker 1: is you know, it's truly tremendous, and I think it
- 12:58Speaker 1: gets overshadowed in this in this first week after the season.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Everybody goes, oh, you lost, you lost, That's all that matters,
- 13:05Speaker 1: and it's like, that's not all that matters. There's there's
- 13:07Speaker 1: way more to it, and you know, some of the
- 13:09Speaker 1: things that we did, and you know, at one point
- 13:11Speaker 1: coach you and I I think it was it would
- 13:13Speaker 1: have been I guess after week four you and I
- 13:16Speaker 1: looked at it and we kind of laughed because we
- 13:18Speaker 1: were like, Hey, the year before and the year this
- 13:20Speaker 1: year are exact opposites. We beat the two teams that
- 13:24Speaker 1: we lost to the year before, and we lost to
- 13:25Speaker 1: the two teams that we beat the year before, and
- 13:28Speaker 1: then it was like, well, now we've got to figure
- 13:29Speaker 1: out a way to make the other part not happen.
- 13:32Speaker 1: And all of a sudden boom the Bellevue game, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: you know, it kind of springboards from there and takes off,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and before you know it, the blue train was really rolling,
- 13:42Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And there's so much excitement
- 13:44Speaker 1: around the school, and you know, it was just truly,
- 13:49Speaker 1: I think, way more accomplished. You know, it felt like
- 13:54Speaker 1: way more accomplished than maybe is getting credit for. But
- 13:57Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, here we
- 13:59Speaker 1: are talking about next season almost already, so well.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Let me just cut in here real quickly. You're right.
- 14:06Speaker 2: The other thing we did talk about in that locker
- 14:07Speaker 2: room was you know, in a week will feel better,
- 14:10Speaker 2: and in two weeks will feel a lot better, and
- 14:12Speaker 2: eventually we'll be able to kind of do what you
- 14:14Speaker 2: just said. Look back over the season and think of
- 14:18Speaker 2: the accomplishment. You know, we beat Kennedy Catholic at their place.
- 14:22Speaker 2: We went to Bellevue on their homecoming night and beat
- 14:25Speaker 2: them for the first time, you know, since nineteen ninety
- 14:29Speaker 2: a Bothel High School team has beat Bellevue.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Thinking about that night and at the end when the
- 14:36Speaker 1: team ran up and was standing in front of the
- 14:40Speaker 1: crowd and just how crazy that crowd was and the
- 14:44Speaker 1: team up there. I mean that alone almost brings tears
- 14:47Speaker 1: to my eye. I mean, it was just it was
- 14:49Speaker 1: such a cool scene and it was so organic. It
- 14:55Speaker 1: just happened and Alston I look up and I go, oh,
- 14:58Speaker 1: my goodness, the players are running up this to the stands,
- 15:01Speaker 1: and I don't even think they knew what they were doing.
- 15:03Speaker 1: They were just running up there because they wanted to celebrate.
- 15:05Speaker 1: And it was so cool to see. But and that's
- 15:08Speaker 1: just a small part of everything that went on this season,
- 15:11Speaker 1: you know, it was it was so cool. It was
- 15:13Speaker 1: so much fun. I mean, from my end, it's so
- 15:16Speaker 1: much fun to document stuff like that and put it
- 15:18Speaker 1: out on social media. And seeing there was a there
- 15:21Speaker 1: was a guy the other day, coach. He commented and
- 15:23Speaker 1: he said, I think it might have been on the
- 15:26Speaker 1: final game graphic with the final score, and he said
- 15:30Speaker 1: something along the lines of like class of nineteen eighty
- 15:33Speaker 1: loud and proud, go kooks, and it's like Class of
- 15:37Speaker 1: nineteen eighty like what is going on here, you know,
- 15:40Speaker 1: and it's so much fun and so cool to see.
- 15:44Speaker 1: We got to go through this real quick. Players of
- 15:45Speaker 1: the Week Offensive and defensive Players of the Week all
- 15:49Speaker 1: season have been brought to you by Team Bradon and
- 15:50Speaker 1: Milan being Chie's real Estate, your local real estate experts.

- 16:16Speaker 1: our community here are you know, we can't even get
- 16:18Speaker 1: into that. We don't have the time. Now. That being said,
- 16:22Speaker 1: Steven Millen, they had a hard time picking this week,
- 16:25Speaker 1: so they kind of give a little rite up here,
- 16:27Speaker 1: so I'll read it to you. We just want to
- 16:29Speaker 1: thank the Booster Club, coaching staff, training staff and players
- 16:32Speaker 1: for a great season and letting us be a small
- 16:35Speaker 1: part with these Player of the week selections. It was
- 16:37Speaker 1: really fun for us. It was difficult to select players
- 16:40Speaker 1: every week, to single out players in the ultimate team sport,
- 16:43Speaker 1: this is the hardest. This was the hardest work to
- 16:46Speaker 1: do given the circumstances in that game, and it was
- 16:50Speaker 1: being the last game of the season, so they selected
- 16:54Speaker 1: the team. Now that being said, they don't have that
- 16:57Speaker 1: many gift cards to give out. They just want to
- 17:00Speaker 1: give their sincere appreciation for how the team fought and
- 17:03Speaker 1: played through adversity this year and especially this past week.
- 17:07Speaker 1: We wish the players the best of luck in whatever
- 17:10Speaker 1: ventures they undertake next. From Steven Millan, all the best
- 17:13Speaker 1: next season and go Koog's coach the players of the Week.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I know, it's something that's kind of fun. It was.
- 17:21Speaker 1: It was funny when Millan came to me and said, hey,
- 17:23Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. And first thing I
- 17:24Speaker 1: said was you got Coach B to agree to that?
- 17:28Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, he goes and you guys can
- 17:29Speaker 1: talk about it on the podcast. And I said, you
- 17:31Speaker 1: got Coach B to agree to that? He said yeah,
- 17:34Speaker 1: kind of looked at me like what I was like,
- 17:36Speaker 1: you know, he's not a guy that really single people out.
- 17:38Speaker 1: But we did it this year, and I know there's
- 17:39Speaker 1: a couple of times where you almost looked uncomfortable doing it,
- 17:42Speaker 1: but I thought it was truly a cool part to
- 17:45Speaker 1: the podcast every week.
- 17:47Speaker 2: It sure was. And you know, I think the easiest
- 17:49Speaker 2: part to agreeing to it is I didn't have to
- 17:50Speaker 2: make any of the decisions, so I didn't write it up.
- 17:53Speaker 2: I didn't. You know, if people scratch their heads, I
- 17:55Speaker 2: could too and say yeah, I don't get that. But
- 17:58Speaker 2: they were spot on all year. Special thanks to those two,
- 18:03Speaker 2: to mill and to Steve for their tremendous support, not
- 18:08Speaker 2: just this year, but they've always supported Bathel football. And
- 18:11Speaker 2: you know, I think they left out one group, and
- 18:12Speaker 2: that's our community, you know, not just our sponsors who
- 18:16Speaker 2: are outstanding, but there there are so many people in
- 18:19Speaker 2: you know, the town of Bothel that support Bothel athletics
- 18:21Speaker 2: and our student athletes. And so shout out to you
- 18:24Speaker 2: guys and thanks. And it's been fun.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a lot of fun. Yeah. I mean,
- 18:31Speaker 1: normally we would have an opponent preview as well, but
- 18:34Speaker 1: we don't have that. But the one preview we do have,
- 18:36Speaker 1: coach I guess is January fifth, twenty twenty sixth, so
- 18:41Speaker 1: we will look forward to that. The first day of lifting.
- 18:45Speaker 1: We still do have I guess the team banquet coming
- 18:48Speaker 1: up as soon as I have all the information for that.
- 18:50Speaker 1: You guys will see it on social media and be
- 18:53Speaker 1: sure to check your emails for that information as well,
- 18:56Speaker 1: just in case you happen to miss it on social media.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Last one for the season. Yeah, thanks for your time
- 19:03Speaker 1: all season. This has been a lot of fun for me.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I love doing podcasts, love sitting here every Tuesday or Wednesday,
- 19:10Speaker 1: whatever day we get it done here with you. It's
- 19:13Speaker 1: been a lot of fun.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Thanks for time, Roland, Thank you for all that you do.
- 19:15Speaker 2: You have many hats in our football program, and you know,
- 19:18Speaker 2: people don't see the depth that you put into it,
- 19:21Speaker 2: from you know, in the school day helping kids and
- 19:24Speaker 2: student athletes to social media stuff, but there's so much
- 19:28Speaker 2: more to that scouting and getting prepared for opponents and
- 19:32Speaker 2: video and blah blah blah. So you know, thank you
- 19:35Speaker 2: very much. It's it's always an honor for me to
- 19:38Speaker 2: sit in with you and you do a great job,
- 19:40Speaker 2: and thank you.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Thanks coach. I'm Ryland Spencer, He's Tom Bainter. You've been
- 19:45Speaker 1: listening to episode at twenty four of The Bothel Football
- 19:47Speaker 1: Coach Show, I would say we'll talk to you next week,
- 19:50Speaker 1: but we'll talk to you here in a few weeks,
- 19:52Speaker 1: and as always, go good
