- 1:11Speaker 1: first episode of twenty twenty six. Coach, welcome aboard. Thanks
- 1:16Speaker 1: so much for doing this with us again.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate you giving us the platform to talk
- 1:23Speaker 2: about our program and to brag on our kids.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Absolutely, coach, We're glad to do it.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So with that being said, let's get started by recapping
- 1:33Speaker 1: last year. A great season. Obviously, it ended a little
- 1:37Speaker 1: too soon. Everybody does if you don't win the state championship.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I know you guys have high hopes, or had high
- 1:44Speaker 1: hopes last year. You have high hopes again this year.
- 1:46Speaker 1: But let's the first talk about just a real quick
- 1:48Speaker 1: recap of last year. Coach.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was a year of first you know,
- 1:55Speaker 2: we were able to finish. You know, we started a
- 1:59Speaker 2: no uh first time in school history and that's been done.
- 2:02Speaker 2: And uh, you know, we we beat Lee County, uh
- 2:06Speaker 2: for the first time in school history. And we hosted
- 2:10Speaker 2: our first playoff game at Freedom Field in school history.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And so you know, a lot of first in that regard,
- 2:17Speaker 2: and you know, finished up ten and two and and
- 2:20Speaker 2: ran into a really really good Rome team coached by
- 2:25Speaker 2: John Reid who is now retired but did a heck
- 2:28Speaker 2: of a job and had a great squad and and
- 2:30Speaker 2: it was a great game. You know, our kids battled
- 2:32Speaker 2: and uh, you know we had to battle some some
- 2:35Speaker 2: weather and things like that. But uh, we showed a
- 2:38Speaker 2: lot of resilience and you know, we came up short
- 2:41Speaker 2: and that happened sometimes. And uh, you know, we're we're
- 2:46Speaker 2: judged by by the scoreboard obviously, Uh, especially as football coaches,
- 2:53Speaker 2: were judged by what happens on the scoreboard. But I
- 2:56Speaker 2: don't think you can measure the amount of you know,
- 3:00Speaker 2: brotherhood and life change that we were able to see
- 3:04Speaker 2: in last season. And a great senior class that I
- 3:08Speaker 2: certainly miss, already miss having them around, and a lot
- 3:13Speaker 2: of guys have gone on and do some great things
- 3:15Speaker 2: at the next level.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Absolutely, and we certainly saluted those guys. Obviously provided the
- 3:21Speaker 1: leadership for last year. However, we turned the page in
- 3:24Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, New season, New year, coach. You guys
- 3:29Speaker 1: have got one scrimmage under your belt. I know you
- 3:32Speaker 1: did all the off season work, but let's talk about
- 3:35Speaker 1: the scrimmage that recording the show on Monday. It happened
- 3:39Speaker 1: two nights ago. You guys had to make the long
- 3:41Speaker 1: road trip to Moultrie, Georgia.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Actually was at home and it was here in Freedom.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Oh it was yeah, my bad and guys viewers out there,
- 3:53Speaker 1: just so you'll know, that's my first fumble of what's
- 3:57Speaker 1: probably going to.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Be a lot this year.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So so of course they got a good coach see
- 4:03Speaker 1: to distraighten me out.
- 4:04Speaker 2: And a lot of people thought that it was going
- 4:08Speaker 2: to be down in Moultrie. You assumed it would be.
- 4:10Speaker 2: But coach Calhoun and I are close friends, and he
- 4:13Speaker 2: wanted to take his guys on a road trip and
- 4:16Speaker 2: bring him up here to Warner Robbins and it was
- 4:19Speaker 2: a great night for football.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Well let's talk about it, coach again, your first real
- 4:24Speaker 1: live action. I know, the scrimage is not live or
- 4:27Speaker 1: not real football as they say, it doesn't count, but
- 4:30Speaker 1: you've got a center snapping the ball to the quarterback,
- 4:32Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Talk about the format you guys did,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and tell us about the highs and the lows.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you're right, it's a scrimmage and we
- 4:41Speaker 2: try to control it, you know. So he and I
- 4:44Speaker 2: got together and decided on how how we hit the
- 4:48Speaker 2: night would.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Play out, and you know, we went a four quarter game.
- 4:51Speaker 2: We went three quarters of live special teams first half,
- 4:55Speaker 2: twelve minute quarters, second half ten minute quarters with a
- 4:59Speaker 2: running cl in the fourth. So, uh, we played our
- 5:02Speaker 2: varsity guys for three quarters and we played our jv
- 5:05Speaker 2: guys to finish off the game.
- 5:06Speaker 3: And uh quarterbacks were not live.
- 5:09Speaker 2: And you know, I think that's a very difficult for
- 5:11Speaker 2: an officiating crew to to to do that. You know,
- 5:15Speaker 2: did you touch them, did you not? You know, did
- 5:18Speaker 2: you get there too soon? Did he get the ball out?
- 5:20Speaker 3: You know?
- 5:20Speaker 2: So you know, hat talk to those guys. They had
- 5:23Speaker 2: a They already have a hard job as it is, officiating,
- 5:26Speaker 2: you know, and then to to it just made it
- 5:29Speaker 2: a little bit more, you know, of a challenge for
- 5:32Speaker 2: them to see. But you know, at the end of
- 5:35Speaker 2: the day, like you said, we put the ball down,
- 5:37Speaker 2: we look to compete, and uh, I thought we did that.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And uh, the the biggest thing that I think any
- 5:44Speaker 2: coach across the country right now would tell you is
- 5:48Speaker 2: can I get out of that game with no injuries?
- 5:50Speaker 1: Ye?
- 5:50Speaker 2: For us that was the case and so and for
- 5:53Speaker 2: for Calkwood as well. So you know, it was a
- 5:56Speaker 2: good night at our home stadium for our our fans,
- 6:00Speaker 2: and of course you know they're gonna bring a bunch.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Uh, So it was a good night, fantastic.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Did you guys keep score or I mean, I know
- 6:09Speaker 1: it's not really that important.
- 6:10Speaker 3: But yeah we did. We kept scoring.
- 6:13Speaker 2: I think the final was twenty eight to twenty, you know,
- 6:17Speaker 2: and so uh, they they got the upper hand on us,
- 6:21Speaker 2: uh the twenty and four quarters, and so it was, uh,
- 6:25Speaker 2: it was a positive, positive, positive experience for our guys.
- 6:30Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, you're looking to win.
- 6:32Speaker 3: So we're not gonna make any excuses. I got you.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Well, you know, as far as I'm concerned, that's a
- 6:38Speaker 1: pretty good opponent to you know, su scrimmage against, to
- 6:44Speaker 1: really test you on both sides of the football. Let's
- 6:47Speaker 1: let's talk about offensively. What were the things that you
- 6:50Speaker 1: saw that you like? You got run Maxwell back at quarterback, right.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we got our quarterback back. And anytime
- 6:58Speaker 2: you got a guy that played twelve games, you know
- 7:02Speaker 2: that you can't you can't substitute that, you know, the experience,
- 7:06Speaker 2: and so uh he was back and uh, you know,
- 7:09Speaker 2: it was good to see him out there compete again.
- 7:12Speaker 1: All right, So tell me about the rest of the
- 7:13Speaker 1: offense and then we'll talk about defense. Special teams. As
- 7:16Speaker 1: we move forward, talk about your offense, coach chat it. Look,
- 7:19Speaker 1: what were you pleased with? What do you what are
- 7:21Speaker 1: the things that you saw still need to work on?
- 7:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean offensively, you know, we we return our
- 7:28Speaker 2: running back Austin Stinton, who's committed to Colorado State, and uh,
- 7:33Speaker 2: he looked better than he's ever looked. To be quite honest,
- 7:36Speaker 2: I told him that he was kind of playing on
- 7:39Speaker 2: a different level he had. You could see he's done
- 7:42Speaker 2: a great job in the weight room and you can
- 7:45Speaker 2: see that, you know, his his speed was on full display,
- 7:48Speaker 2: and and so he had a good night. And our
- 7:51Speaker 2: offensive line played solid. You know, missed a few things
- 7:56Speaker 2: you know through the air that we you know.
- 7:59Speaker 3: We need to get worked out.
- 8:00Speaker 2: But you know, over time you're gonna see that get
- 8:03Speaker 2: better as you start to gail and you start to
- 8:05Speaker 2: get that timing down with receivers.
- 8:07Speaker 3: But you know, I really felt, really I felt positive.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You know, the first drive we went down the field
- 8:13Speaker 2: and uh and scored to go up seven to zero.
- 8:15Speaker 2: And you know, I think that the heat started to
- 8:19Speaker 2: affect us a little bit. We've been practicing at five
- 8:21Speaker 2: point thirty in the morning, and so it's it's what
- 8:26Speaker 2: sixty eight seventy and breezy at that time. It's perfect,
- 8:29Speaker 2: you know, it's it's ideal, but you know, you get
- 8:32Speaker 2: out there and uh, uh you know, Friday night and
- 8:35Speaker 2: it was pretty pretty hot, and uh, you know, that's
- 8:39Speaker 2: obviously something that we have to.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Deal with and they have to deal with.
- 8:43Speaker 2: But uh, I think that's something that we need to
- 8:46Speaker 2: We're gonna start transitioning more to the afternoon, so we're
- 8:49Speaker 2: gonna get that all worked out in the end.
- 8:51Speaker 1: I think that's always a concern, you know, that coaches
- 8:55Speaker 1: have when you're you know, we're starting the season with
- 8:59Speaker 1: high you know, in the mid nineties, if not hotter,
- 9:03Speaker 1: And so we got to remember, even though these guys have,
- 9:06Speaker 1: you know, the benefit of age and being youthful, still
- 9:11Speaker 1: no matter if you're two or one hundred and two,
- 9:13Speaker 1: you know, if it's uh, if it's one hundred and two,
- 9:17Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be hot with all that gear on.
- 9:19Speaker 1: So I know, we have the acclimation week that's already
- 9:21Speaker 1: been through. But so what do you guys, what do
- 9:23Speaker 1: you guys do to try to acclimate your football team
- 9:27Speaker 1: to these hot you know or eight pm kickoffs?
- 9:31Speaker 2: Well, I mean that goes back to, you know, your
- 9:33Speaker 2: preparation through the summer. I mean we condition throughout the summer.
- 9:38Speaker 3: We have a.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Conditioning test that we do in the month of July
- 9:43Speaker 2: where we do a fourth quarter. We call it the
- 9:46Speaker 2: fifty six where we get fifty six you know, short
- 9:50Speaker 2: burst sprints over time where it adds up to total
- 9:55Speaker 2: of fifty six and you know, so we do that
- 9:58Speaker 2: and then we do an overtime period. So there are
- 10:01Speaker 2: some things that we do to try to you know,
- 10:05Speaker 2: get us to that point where we feel out good
- 10:07Speaker 2: about performing in that type of heat. But at the
- 10:10Speaker 2: end of the day, you know, when you're talking about
- 10:12Speaker 2: playing you know, sixty plus snaps or whatever, you're you know,
- 10:16Speaker 2: you got guys that are carrying a lot of weight.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I mean, they just got to do a great job
- 10:20Speaker 2: of you know, I can't go you know, and and
- 10:23Speaker 2: and make them drink water and.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Say off the sweet tea and the coach and all that.
- 10:28Speaker 2: We certainly try to educate them on you know, nutrition
- 10:31Speaker 2: and take care of your body, sleep, all those things
- 10:34Speaker 2: in order to put yourself in the best position to
- 10:36Speaker 2: be successful.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Percent We're talking to Houston County hit football coach Jeremy
- 10:41Speaker 1: ed which is our first coaches show of the year.
- 10:44Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing this every week talking to coach
- 10:47Speaker 1: as long as the season goes, we'll go with coach.
- 10:50Speaker 1: And again our second consecutive season of doing the house
- 10:53Speaker 1: and kind of coaches show.
- 10:54Speaker 3: And again our.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Second consecutive season of having Ryan lyon State Farm Major
- 10:58Speaker 1: there in one of Robinson Whether as the sponsor of
- 11:01Speaker 1: the show, by all means, go see Ryan Lyons a
- 11:07Speaker 1: state farm agent there in Warner Robins for all of
- 11:09Speaker 1: your insurance needs. He can take care of you. A
- 11:12Speaker 1: reputable company and he's a reputable guy and a great guy.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Ryan Lyon sponsoring our week. We talked with just Jeremy Edwards. Okay,
- 11:19Speaker 1: so the other side of the coin. Defensively, Coach, how
- 11:23Speaker 1: did the Bears look defensively?
- 11:26Speaker 2: I thought we played good. You know, we've got to
- 11:28Speaker 2: get off the field on third down. You know, we
- 11:31Speaker 2: we were able to do a great job throughout the
- 11:33Speaker 2: game of getting them the third downs, and not only
- 11:35Speaker 2: just third down, but some third and longs. And you know,
- 11:39Speaker 2: they were able to convert some of those third and longs.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Really all the third and longs on fifty to fifty
- 11:44Speaker 2: balls and they were able to make plays that you know,
- 11:47Speaker 2: we wish we could have back, you know, and so
- 11:49Speaker 2: explosive plays on third and long. We've got to clean
- 11:53Speaker 2: that up. But we did some really good things. I
- 11:56Speaker 2: thought we stopped to run pretty well, of held their
- 12:00Speaker 2: their run game, and check they ran the quarterback a
- 12:03Speaker 2: couple of times, and uh, you know that again, those
- 12:05Speaker 2: are some of those calls where the officials got to
- 12:08Speaker 2: make He's got to make the right call to try
- 12:11Speaker 2: to protect the guy. And then we we preached to
- 12:14Speaker 2: our guys all week, you know, don't we don't want
- 12:16Speaker 2: to hit their quarterback.
- 12:17Speaker 3: They're not going to hit hours and yeah, but we're
- 12:19Speaker 3: not gonna make excuses. You know.
- 12:21Speaker 2: I talked to the kids this morning about you know,
- 12:23Speaker 2: at the end of the day, people ask you, you know, hey, coach,
- 12:26Speaker 2: how the game go, and you know, first thing you
- 12:28Speaker 2: want to do is say, well, we had this and
- 12:30Speaker 2: we had that.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Well, those are excuses, you.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Know, and and more the more that we just make
- 12:34Speaker 2: excuses for not performing, then we're softing our character. You know,
- 12:38Speaker 2: we're not trying. We we we need to we need
- 12:39Speaker 2: to get better, bottom line. And so but we made
- 12:43Speaker 2: some good plays. You know, we had uh a pick
- 12:46Speaker 2: six that again we we uh we felt like it
- 12:49Speaker 2: would have been a pick six in a game, but
- 12:51Speaker 2: they blew it down to protect their quarterback.
- 12:53Speaker 3: And I'm good with that.
- 12:54Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you need some early season humble pie
- 12:59Speaker 2: to keep be hungry, you know. And uh, but at
- 13:02Speaker 2: the end of the day, you know, I got a
- 13:04Speaker 2: whole lot of respect for coach Calhoun, one of my
- 13:07Speaker 2: good friends, and yeah, such a great guy, and and
- 13:10Speaker 2: uh yeah, we talked after the game and both agreed
- 13:15Speaker 2: that was a lot of fun, you know, and I
- 13:17Speaker 2: think it was good for the fans and good experience.
- 13:20Speaker 3: And we got accomplished what we needed.
- 13:23Speaker 2: From the scrimmage and got some young guys some reps too,
- 13:26Speaker 2: and uh and so you know, again I'm pleased where
- 13:30Speaker 2: we're at. We know where we need to fix and
- 13:32Speaker 2: we got two weeks to fix it before we played
- 13:34Speaker 2: West Roside.
- 13:35Speaker 1: All right, And so let's talk about special teams and
- 13:38Speaker 1: then we'll move on to what's next for the Bears.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Yes, special teams was solid.
- 13:46Speaker 2: You know. We we did a great job covering kicks
- 13:49Speaker 2: and you know, we we were able to kick the
- 13:53Speaker 2: ball into the end zone a couple of times, which
- 13:56Speaker 2: is really really good.
- 13:57Speaker 3: You know, when you make them go eighty, that's big.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Pend them back on, made them go uh you know,
- 14:03Speaker 2: pend them on about the one yard line. They did
- 14:05Speaker 2: as well, Uh, pend us back. So I thought special
- 14:09Speaker 2: teams to be that early in the season. Both squads
- 14:12Speaker 2: were pretty sharp. We did have a mishandle on a
- 14:15Speaker 2: extra point where we dropped you know, dropped the snap
- 14:19Speaker 2: and and that wasn't good. So we got to clean
- 14:21Speaker 2: that up. And that's just you know, focus. So again
- 14:26Speaker 2: it's you really don't want to I mean, I guess
- 14:30Speaker 2: it depends on who you ask. You know, you may
- 14:31Speaker 2: want to come out of that game and and be
- 14:34Speaker 2: clicking on all cylinders, but you know, if you're flawless,
- 14:37Speaker 2: then there's nothing to really fix, right, I mean, we
- 14:39Speaker 2: needed to fix some things, and we needed to see
- 14:41Speaker 2: some things and uh in a live situation. Obviously we
- 14:45Speaker 2: had the o TA throughout the summer, two of those
- 14:48Speaker 2: in which they're a little bit more controlled, but this
- 14:50Speaker 2: one was with officials and it had more of a
- 14:53Speaker 2: game feel and atmosphere like a real game. So good
- 14:57Speaker 2: tune up for us going into the season.
- 15:00Speaker 1: That's fantastic coach. You mentioned a couple of the seconds
- 15:03Speaker 1: ago the regular season. You guys are part of the
- 15:07Speaker 1: Corky Kill Classic kickoff or Corky Killed Dave Hunter Classic
- 15:12Speaker 1: once again this year. Talk about who the opponent is when,
- 15:15Speaker 1: where everything is at.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're gonna play at Center Park, which everybody
- 15:21Speaker 3: knows that as the old Turner Field at Georgia State's
- 15:24Speaker 3: new stadium. You know where we.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Played a couple of state championships three actually when I
- 15:31Speaker 2: was at the school down the road, and uh yeah,
- 15:35Speaker 2: I mean we're excited about it.
- 15:37Speaker 3: We're not going to play in the Bens this year.
- 15:38Speaker 2: The Bens is actually this week they're playing super early midweek,
- 15:43Speaker 2: and given the opportunity, we chose to play in Atlanta
- 15:47Speaker 2: to try to get back outside. And you know, we're
- 15:50Speaker 2: gonna play at eight o'clock against West verscythe over there
- 15:54Speaker 2: at Center Park, so the skyline of Atlanta will be
- 15:57Speaker 2: really cool for our for our kids. You know, eight
- 16:00Speaker 2: o'clock kickoff. We're used to kicking off at seven point thirty,
- 16:04Speaker 2: So a little later.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Will it start at eight?
- 16:06Speaker 2: Who knows there's a game before us Coffee plays Park
- 16:09Speaker 2: Few probably not.
- 16:10Speaker 3: We'll probably kick off at ten. Yeah, but our kids
- 16:15Speaker 3: will be fired up.
- 16:16Speaker 2: They are fired up, you know, I mean sure, And
- 16:18Speaker 2: we got a quality opponent in West roscythe who's had
- 16:21Speaker 2: a whole heck of a lot of success in seven
- 16:23Speaker 2: A or six A last year.
- 16:26Speaker 3: But now there are seven A and they've been super competitive.
- 16:29Speaker 2: They've made deep playoff runs and uh, you know, they're
- 16:33Speaker 2: where they're supposed to be watching the tape on them.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Uh, they play extremely hard. They're where they're supposed.
- 16:39Speaker 2: To be, and uh, you know, we're looking forward to
- 16:41Speaker 2: the challenge and uh you know it's a new opponent
- 16:44Speaker 2: for us, so never played them in school history, and
- 16:47Speaker 2: so it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be a fun night.

- 17:06Speaker 1: the first meeting ever between the two teams in the
- 17:09Speaker 1: history of the program. So that's a great thing. Obviously,
