• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show, where we
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: are in the midst of the playoffs.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: It is one of the best time of the year.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Roman you said, it's it's like a second Christmas.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: It's the most wonderful time of the year.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It's Week eleven eleven, second round of the playoffs though
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: both politically correct terms. We're here to do the top
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: fifteen games of the week for the Missouri District semi
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: finals and then Illinois Sweet sixteen, if you will, starting
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: off with the top with the number fifteen game of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the week. It's a pretty big one, but a tall
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: task for the Beville East Lancers.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: This is the biggest game ever held a Bubble East
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: not Carmel at Bevile East. The caravan's shared by twenty
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: four and a half, the overs fifty eight and a half.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Some quick context on Mount Cromell. I know we talked
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: about Hi a bit last episode, but this is their
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: fortieth appearance in the Illinois playoffs. It's their thirty first
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: consecutive appearance. They have their this is.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: This is ridiculous.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: What their record in the playoffs all time is one
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: hundred and thirty seven and twenty three.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: They have sixteen state championships and five runner up appearances.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Mount Carmell does.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: They're the best team in the state of Illinois historically.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Eas St.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Louis, I would say, is an extremely close seconds. East
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Lewis does have more wins, but I think the five
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: more state championships kind of gives an edge there. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: there's nothing against East Louis. East Lewis is like a
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: top ten team nationally. Ever, I mean, they are unbelievable,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: but Mount Carnwell is also unbelievable, So you got to
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: give credible credits due I.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Don't know how long they Mount Carmel's been around, so
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that they I bet that, you know, because wins.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see winning percentage as well, because.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's the That's the greatest stat I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: think you can have, is what.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Percentage all time? Yeah, but besides state championships.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Double East. They're having a good year and they don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: want to go They're gonna go down.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: They're gonna go down fighting if they are gonna go down,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: and they they've had a great year so far. Caden
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Wood has been great for him and you know, Jonathan
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Rulo is one of the best defenders in the whole area.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: You know, four sacks in the year, over eighty tackles,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I believe, and you know it's his is gonna be
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: tough and I think the Beuble East might back to
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: will cover this one, but it's gonna be tough. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: think Mount Carmel is a machine. I'm gonna go with
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Mount Carmel to cover here, and I'm gonna go with
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: you over.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Beuvile East will be going down unfortunately in this one.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Mount Carmel is a machine. I really like their offense.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Coached by Jordan Lynch, who is who has established himself
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as one of the best best coaches in the state
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of Illinois.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Now, U hall of Famer, he's a Mount Carmel Hall
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: of Famer. He's actually Hall of Famer in the American
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Conference Hall of Famer.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's kind of the perfect fit. Where
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Like he played at Mount Carmel, was a legend there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I think, I think, want to State championship, and then
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he was a fantastic quarterback at North Illinois, which you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: know for Chicago people, that's that is pretty much local there. Yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and you know he was amazing there. We talked about
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: how he hit received Heisman votes and it's for the season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Mount Carmel there, they've scored three hundred and sixty two points.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know their average, and they're.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Actually according to max Preps, they are fifty eighth ranked nationally.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Wow, they're max Preps has Mount Carmel rank is the
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: best team in Illinois.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it helps with the you know, they've they're undefeated,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and you know for East Louis they're going to get
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: docked some points for losing a few games.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter who they lost to.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: They've beaten Nazareth Academy forty two to twenty three. Who's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: considered to be the favorite to win in Class five, you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Brother Rice, who's nine to one. They'd be Fenwick, who's
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: seven to three.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: A very close game against Fenwick thirty five twenty eight.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That's their closest game of the season.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They actually won the week one, that's right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They and Archbishop Moeller. By the way, they're the second
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: ranked team in Ohio Quarterbacks preps. W Yeah, so this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is a very you guys get it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: They're good. Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So what I got is, by the way, their last
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know who their current quarterback is, but their
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: last quarterback for the.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Last two years.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: He's now at Vanderbilton, and so i have Mount Carmel covering,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Taking the over right.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Looks like we agree on that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I just I never remember three years ago when Loyal
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Academy came to Edwardsville in twenty twenty two. And let's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just say, I expect that game to go the same.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Way that game. Yeah, no, no, no shame in that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: And to the Class four bracket, Illinois, we got Jacksonville
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: at Kahokia. The Commands are favored by three and a
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: half points, the over runers at fifty seven and a half.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: So Kahokia had a very convincing win against Centralia.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Last week forty four to two, forty four to twenty two.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And Jacksonville they had a I mean, looking at the seating,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: they had a huge upset against.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was that big of an
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: upset I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Mean, just looking at seating, I mean I know that
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: you know, some people knew would be a close game,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: but just purely based off seating, Jacksonville on a big
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: upset win, you're the sixteen seed. They beat Richeline County
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: forty one thirty nine to last week. And you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: with Illinois you'll get these teams sometimes that are five
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: and four but had very, very tough.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Schedules, and you know, if you look at.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville, they were definitely more battle tested team. They play
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in the CS eight, which is probably the it's it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: is the best conference in Central Illinois, probably the second
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: best conference in the South of one eight I eighty
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in Illinois compared to the you know, the south Western Conference.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So Highland actually played Jacksonville Week one and beat them
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: fifty to twenty seven.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see them play that again because Jacksonville.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville probably wins that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Jacksonville's only four losses for all the playoff teams,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: so this is this is actually very interesting. Their win
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: against Richland County was their first win against anyone that
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: was above.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Five hundred all year. Yeah, so that's very interesting. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I think Jacksonville is a solid team.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: They run the ball well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I mean you talk about running the ball well, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: mean we talked last last episode about how Kahokia is
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: rushing attack between especially last game with McKay Henderson and
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Donald Collier Junior was really good. That's an amazing one
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: to two punch. And Nigel Gooden also puts in some
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: great carries for them as well. So I think the command,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: she's just sheer amount of speed in athletes the game
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: to be too much for Jackson to handle. I'm gonna
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: go with the command she used to cover this one easily,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: and I will go with.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: The under Jackson.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: They'd have a pretty good win over MacArthur, who kind
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of fold. They kind of collapsed as the season went on.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They were five and one at one point and then yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I think they're They're loss against Jacksonville really kind of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: spelled doom for them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So Jacksonville, it's not.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Richmond County is not the only bat like good team
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they've beaten, so I'll say that. But yeah, Kokia is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a really good team. S Yeah, statistically they've been great
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this season there by far the back I mean, the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: South seven champions and with an eight and two record now,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm gonna go with them to cover and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'll I'll take the over this time.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I think both teams will put up points.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But Kahokia they can run and pass, they can do
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of good things and they got a good
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: defense all right.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Next up heading over to the Class one bracket. In one,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: we got Dupo at Carrollton. Dupo's here by three and
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: a half points. The over runers have forty and a half.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Dupo just got their first playoff win in a few
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: decades last week where they defeated Salt Fork by score
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: twenty to seven, and then they got Carrollton. And Carleton's
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: actually barely outside of our coverage. ERAa they is it
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: a Green county is at the count.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Of their erect correct.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: They're seven and three so far this year.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Nothing crazy, why crazy with their football history, but they're
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: always it seems like they're always.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Winning a playoff game.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're always in the playoffs in the sweet sixteen
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: in the quarterfinals, doing some damage there. They're seven seven
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: and four, seven and three so far this year. They
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: beat Oakwood in the first round from eight to fourteen.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Six seeds, so that was that was a pretty good win.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Carleton's put in a pretty solid season so far.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: They're kind of like, I'm not I'm not saying their
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: history is exactly like Rochester, but they're kind of like
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the the apex of their program history has come about
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: fairly recently since about twenty ten, where they've gotten to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the playoffs just about every year, and they've they've had multi.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Made ten consecutive playoff appearances.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah very cs. Not well, twenty two they did not
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs, so that's wrong.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But but yes they've made they've been into playoffs I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: think every year since, you know, going back to like
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: for a run, I think they were in there for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: over I think eleven years and ever since. So I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: covered this team a lot in my first ever job,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: so I actually know a great deal about Carrollton. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Nick Flowers, he actually got elected to the Hall of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Fame in Illinois. Yeah, he was the man responsible for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: their great big run. And like Dupo, they run a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: spread offense. So they're again they're one of those outliers.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And in class one where they run a spread offense
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and then passed the ball a lot, and they got
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a good quarterback in Carson Flowers, and they got a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: really good athlete and Charlie Stump for them, and this
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: is this is this is Carlton team has got a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: pretty good defense. I mean they're they're averaging fifteen points
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a game, they they fly to the ball really well.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: They're they're very well disciplined. Their head coach Rodney Flowers,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he's a defense he's a defensive coordinator for them, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: he's just been great. They're doing that for a long
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: time there Carrollton, and they have a good enough offense.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And they actually match their average of points in their
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: last game by scoring twenty eight. And I think they'ret home.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: This is actually they they lost. They were at this
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: exact situation last year, but they had the unfortunately run
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in the ALTAF and.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So they lost that one.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, this year they got a much better opportunity
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to advance to the quarterfinals, and I think they do.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I think they I think they beat Dupo and cover
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the spread and I'll take the over. I think this
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: game will be a pretty good uh. I think we'll
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have some good offense both ways. But Carrolton that they
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: got a pretty good opponent win loss record, well, at
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: least before the season forty eight and forty seven and Dupo.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: They have not really played a good opponent this season
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: besides Chester, and that was actually a very close game.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: They they almost won one point, lost one point lost
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to them. But yeah, I'm gonna take the Hawks and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to win this one.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: All right, Next step number twelve game week and back
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: over to Missouri side. We got Lift for Life versus
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Saint Gennety. This game is gonna be played at Melville
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: High School. Lift for Life there by seven and a half,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: the overruners at forty nine and a half.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: We talked pretty in depth.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: About how last week, San Jenety, you've kind of got
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the short end of the stick where they were told
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: by Normandy on game day that they would be forfeiting.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: So that was a pretty rough deal.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: For not even in the morning. It was at three
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: point fifteen.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, really really bad deal for the Dragons there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: But Lift for Life they took care of business through
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: from South and Lift for Life one of the more
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: difficult schedules in all the Class three.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: And probably the most difficult.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: They've been able to navigate through pretty well. Phoenix Isaiah
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: has been great so far this year. I believe he
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: has eclipsed to two thousand yard mark for passing yards. Yes,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: so the stats are not in for the Lutheran South game,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: but he is at eighteen hundred and thirty three yards,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: so I would assume he passed the two thousand yard
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: mark there in that game, so good for.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Him and the twin Wolfold junior as well. He's that's
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the main target for him.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: So the the Isaiah Wolfold connection has been great for
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the Hawks really this year.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And doing a shout out Aiden Barber as well.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: On defense, he leaves the team in tackles.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And yeah for Lift for Life, they're really good. But Sat.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Jenneview is also a very very good team. Sant Jennemee'
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: is really one of the better teams in all of
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Class three.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: They are. Yeah, they got some good wins.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're only launched this year is to cross
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: town rival Valley Catholic, who.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Will probably the winner, will probably play them in this game.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, so in a week two stjenime Ba actually beat
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: a pretty good use of the team.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Sat Jenemey also beat.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Park Hill Central thirty five to seven.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Frederick, they beat Jefferson good Win and beat Cruthersville
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and yeah, so the Dragons are having a pretty good
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: year and yeah they should be close one. I am
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: gonna go with I think Lift for Life wins, but
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I do things in Saint Jennevi keeps are really close.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with the Dragons to cover, and
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: I will.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Go with the under I'm gonna go with Lyft for Life.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I think their speed's gonna be a little too much
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and for them, and they've been They are a weird
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: team though, because they can be played teams really close
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that they have been pretty good all season at winning
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the games they should win, and I think this is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: one of those games that they do win. But I yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I think this will be a pretty close game, well
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: pretty competitive game, But I do think Lift for Life
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: ultimately covers that spread, and I'll take the over all.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Right, stay in Missouri.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: We got in the Class five District four part of
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: the bracket. We got north Point at Parkway West Parkway
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: West here by ten and a half points. The over
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: runs at forty nine and a half. Both these teams
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: that you could describe as took care of business last week,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: neither of which had close games. North Point defeated Parkway
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Central for the second time so far this year, forty
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: nine to thirteen.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: You know that was expected.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: And then north Point defeated Zumal South in a revenge
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: game forty to zero, which I think you know we
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: knew going into this game that North Point should have won,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: but it was really more of a can you play
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: a clean game when there's pressure?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Sure, and they did. I mean it wasn't the cleanest game.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, they still had a few mistakes.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: They stold a couple of turnovers, but they definitely were
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: able to, you know, cut down some of the more
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: major mistakes back from when these two teams played several
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: weeks ago.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: So I think that's a good sign for the Grizzlies, But.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I think for North Point they've just been a little
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: more inconsistent than I would like. And if you look
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: at Parkway West, they absolutely take care of business.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: When they should. Like the teams like teams.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: They play like McClure Lutheran, McClure North, Parkway South, Parker Central.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, Brock West's only two losses are too Parkway
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: North and hazel East.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: They would tell you that they should have taken care
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of business against Parkway North and Hazewolod East though, Yeah, two.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Very close losses as well, both by five.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: That that was a brutal loss to Hazelo East. Yeah,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: up by ten at the eleven yard line early in
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with the ball and they lose the game.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: That's that's crazy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, against a run heavy team as well.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: If North Point had a dominant O line, I would
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: take them here, But I neither team has a dominant
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I know. That's the thing is like, I'm not sure
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: who to trust here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: This game could go a lot of different ways, which
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: was quite fun.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: It could, But I will go with Pucker West to
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: cover here, and I will go with the over.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, north Point just there.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They have been shaky all season defensively, I mean, even
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: though their last two games they played some Charles Zowell
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: North they did.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Pretty good shak offensively.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Offense both ways too, Yeah, I mean they gave up
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: forty three to Zumalt North, that gave up twenty one
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to Washington, gave up twenty nine to Zumalt South. Earlier
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: in the season, they did shut out Zumalt East, but
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: they did Zimaltas had the ball like they were they
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: were driving a lot and gave up forty eight and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that big win over Liberty they still won. It's definitely
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be one of the tougher offenses that they've seen
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this season. So but with a guy like Tavor and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Williams though and he's gonna be He's probably gonna be
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the athlete on the field when he's on offense, because
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I know Parkway West they're not They're I think they're
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a well coach team there, but they don't have their
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: they don't play the fastest on defense.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But they are physical though.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: But if he can get loose and extend plays, that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: can spell some trouble for the Longhorns. However, I still
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: got West covering winning and I'll take the over, so we.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Agree, all right, sounds good.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Next step heading back over the Metro East, we got
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Rochester at Waterloo. Rochester if here by eleven and a half,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: he over is at forty eight and a half. Some
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: quick context on Rochester. They are from the Springfield area,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I believe you know about fifteen twenty minute is drive
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: southeast of downtown.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Springfield actually a little closer.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And they are nine to one so far in the year.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Their only loss was a one point loss to Glenwood
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: up there in Shadham, also in the Springfield area, who
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: is ten and Miero right now. And Rochester defeated Mount
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Zion weeked in week two to twenty eight, twenty four.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: They there are other good wins.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: I guess you say we're against Ciga Heart Griffin in
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: week nine they beat them thirty to one to.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Twenty eight and really great program.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: They secure of business against taylor Ville week and week
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: ten the first round of playoffs, and then Waterloo.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: They had one of their biggest wins.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: In reason memory, beating Mountain Zion by one the first
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: round of the playoffs last week, where their defense especially
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: just came from the clutch keep the Mountainzion out of
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the end zone.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Almost the entire game.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I mean outside of Mountain Zion's first drive, Waterloo keeps
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: out of the en zone literally the entire game, which
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: is a huge, huge.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: W for their defense.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: But you know, I unfortunately, I think this this Waterloo
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: run comes.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: To an end.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, if Sales and Nebro you can just keep
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: it going, and if the O line can just give
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: them enough space to work with, I like Waterloo's chances
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: here to cover, but I think Rochester is gonna be
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: too much for them. I'll pick the Rockets to cover
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: and I will go with the over.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Now I'll go with the under.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, Rochester's got a high powered offense. For their
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: average forty eight points a game. Defense has given up
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: seventeen a game. And so yeah, Waterloo they got their
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: hands full again offensively, I think they're going to have
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: their hands a lot more full fuller.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have four hands.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have four hands against Rochester compared to Mount Zion,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and Rochester's got a pretty insane playoff history where there's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: sixty four and fourteen all time great and they're nine
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and they're nine to zero state championship games.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: That has to be the best winning percentage with like
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: more than one or two games played.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Ever, they've made nineteen consecutive playoff appearances, most of which
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: under one man, which is Derek Leonard, and they've won
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: all those state titles under.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Derek Leonard, who is their current coach right now.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, his dad, his father is the all time leading
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: wins leader in Illinois history.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna go for a I'm gonna go out
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: on a limb.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And say that if if Derek will, if he coaches
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: as long as his father, then I think he will
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: break his father's record.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's there, and I think, yeah, so he's absolutely.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I wonder how many job job offers this guy gets
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: every year.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Seriously, he's been in Rochester for I believe fourteen years.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Now, and he's still young. He's still fairly young. I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: don't think he's even fifty yet.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: That's that's incredible.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm just gonna I respect that so much.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I in Rochester. They got a really good scheme, Their
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: offense is really good, and they blocked so well. They're
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: unbelievably well coached. And I know Waterloo had that you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: near miracle against SAHG three years ago who ended up
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: winning state, but I just don't quite see it this time.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: That'd be awesome if Waterloo could win, But I'm taking
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Rochester the cover and I'll take the over all.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Next up, staying in the Class four bracket of ILLINOI
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: we got Freeberg at Pree Central Central Fair by twenty
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: and a half.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Here the over is at fifty and a half two
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: nine to one.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Teams come into this one pre Central the one loss
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: with Mountain Zion back in week three, but they have
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: been rolling ever since. They darn near triple class Columbia
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: last week, and Cole Davis has been running all over
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the place recently, averaging over seven yards for Cary this year.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And you know, defensively, yeah.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: They've been They've really stepped up this season.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Well, defensively, Davis is one of the leaders on the
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: defense start of the ball as well. He's got two
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: sacks this year, two interceptions at linebacker, so he just
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: flies around.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I believe he's a.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Linebacker, Yeah, outside linebacker, I think, so he.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Just flies around and sees the ball so well.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Jackson Campworth another great player on the defensive side of
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: the ball as well for the Cougars.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: But you know, for for Freeberg, they've they've been getting better.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: It seems like every week they've been improving since that
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: lost to pre Central that was kind of like their
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: wake up calls.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I guess in Week.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Four it was seven to nothing at halftime, but then
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: they lost forty nine nothing.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, the way that Joseph Kramac has been
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: able to step into his role QB as a sophomore
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: has been very impressive. He had an insane game last
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: week where I think he threw for twitter yards and
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Branford over one hundred, had no turnovers, which is incredible
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: for a sophomore to do in a playoff game. And
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: if Karma can bring him the magic back. I think
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Freeburg can cover here, but I think bre Central is
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: absolutely rolling, and I'm going to go with bre Central.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: To cover here, and I'm gonna go with the over.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: You know how, since we talked about Carlton, Carlton's playing dupo,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: but you're never This is a crazy stat right here.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Both sets of coaches from Breeze Central and Freeburg both
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Carlton alums.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, how about that? That's kind of cool. What are
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: the odds to that it's a small town.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Coach short of Central and coach Stewart from Freeburg?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Awesome, that is pretty cool.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I did not know that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all I got right there. But yeah, that's breakdown.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Pretty awesome.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but now, I uh, I'm going with Central. However,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I do think Freeberg will cover. I think they'll cover
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: that twenty point spread, but I'll still picked Pree Central
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to win and I'll take the under, all right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Next up saying the only onest side.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Now on the classics bracket, we got East Sint Lewis
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: at Chatham Glenwood East St.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Louis favor by thirty and a half, the over runers
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: at sixty one and a half East St. Louis. They
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: destroyed Plainfield East or was it Plainfield West Aftergotsfield East? Yeah,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Plainfield East.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I think it was sixty three to seven with the
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: final score, and I believe I think it was like
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: nine different guys, but flyers caught a pass, so you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: definitely getting plenty of guys touches there in the playoffs
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: for Glenwood, they're undefeated. They're undefeated so far. They've actually
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: played a few singleos. Area played a couple easy, played
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: a couple of sing those era teams. Earlier in the season.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: They played Edwardsville week one they won, thirty nine, Aready won,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and they played North County, which is kind of an
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: odd game there.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: The very random game.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: They won that one pretty easily.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Then I would say their best win of the year
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: was against Rochester by one and week four that was crazy, crazy.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Game, forty three to forty two.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They beat SHG by four in week eight or
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: week seven, I should say, And they beat JCA this
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: past week in the first round the playoffs, which you
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: may see jca's Oh they were four and five, who.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Cares, but very bad.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: JCA was a good team, so that's the them. Was
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: always gonna take a win like that, And.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I mean that's a big win for Glenwood's program right there.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I mean the beat.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I mean whenever you beat it, whenever you beat a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: team in any state who's won many state championships and
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: one one of the best programs of all time, it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: always a significant win.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: And glenn Wood, I mean they have one of the
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: best home atmospheres in Illinois.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say Illinois time period.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Their stadium is huge, they have no tracker on their field,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: fans are right on top of the action, and it's
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: great yet natural grass. It really can feel like like
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: a college environment. It's really really cool. But sorry, Glenn Wood,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I think East Louis is too much. I think East
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Louis covers here with a turbo clock, and I'm gonna go.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: With you over.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be a turbo clock. I actually
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: think glenn Wood will cover that spread. But I still
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: have you stly this winning more like you know, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: think it's could be like a you know, fifty two,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: twenty four, fifty two, you know whatever, thirty one game
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: something like that. But I think I'll be a little
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: closer than a thirty point point differential. And this is
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a really good Glenmoo team. I mean they have a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: really good quarterback and in Dalton Kneler I believe is
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: his name. He's a yeah, really good quarterback. They got
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: good options at receiver, got a good running back, big
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: offensive line, and their defenses are is decent.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: And yeah, we chaps out a nice, nice small town
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: right there. You can see that right there as you're.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Some great facilities for their very.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Very good facilities school.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, so they got they have a lot
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: going for them in that community there, and yeah, their
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: stadium is really big right there, and then it's huge. Yeah,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: so it's there should be like I'd probably say, like
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: at least five over five thousand people at that game.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I would expect because that that's a game.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Where like the entire community will come out for that game,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: just like Springfield too.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: It's like East St. Louis and East St. Louis is
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody knows who they are in Illinois and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people around the country.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Do and everyone knows the flowers are come on.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, wherever they go, it's like, you know, people
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: locally are going to come out and wash them. So yeah,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to that and I might be
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: there too filming that. Well, we'll see what happens with that.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: And uh, okay, under our next game, you're the over
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: under in that one. Oh, I will take the over all.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Right next to number seven games the week heading over
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to the Missouri Class for bracket, we got University City
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: at Orchard Farm. The Eagles are fair about eight and
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: a half points to the over runs at fifty.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Five and a half, I believe. Yeah, so U.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: City they took care of business against Lutheran St. Charles
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: forty six zero in the first round. Orchard Farm they
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: also took care of business against Saint Charles sixty two
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: to three in the first round. Both these teams come
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: into this one at nine and one, so the second
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: nine to one versus nine and one matchup.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: We got here and there singlet Aria and for U City.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Both these teams aren't very battle tested.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean they're talented teams. Teddy Stevens, great
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: QB of the Lions. Travis Allen, I believe he's a
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: sophomore running back over at.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Stevens is also a sophomore.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, to have to your best players offense, both
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: the sophomores both putting up great numbers. That is a
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: huge great sign for the Lions program and for Orchard
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Farm as well. Uh Sereno the running back, it's been
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: really really good. But Collin Sinclair, he's their leader at QB.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: And you know, it looks like they got liams Sinclair
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: as the backup QB there, So it looks like Saint
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Clair will be leading the way for the Eagles for
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: the time for the first evil future.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So they have a Collin who's a quarterback and then
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a Colin who is a running back.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Don't see that every day.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, this one should be interesting.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I think I think the Mober League game for Orchard
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Farm was kind of just a hiccup.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I still don't know what happened there. I
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Why Collin Sinclair was not playing.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, that is okay, Well, they still scored thirty points, though.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I think with that game, it's why are you allowing
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: twenty eight points in the first half of the.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the question.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Their offense still did fine.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Their offensive fine, I mean.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: They were close to getting over five hundred yards in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Liams and Clair had a good game.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: He's good.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, and Collinson Collins Serno, he had a good
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: game in the game as well. So I think it
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: was just their defense kind of had a hiccup, which
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: they were able to lock down Saint Charles, which is
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: a good sign. So it looks like they have no
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: major injuries, which is good.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to go with this one. Should be
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: a good game, nice high scoring game. I'm gonna go.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Claire was also not playing in that game too, Charles's game. Yeah,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: oh oh hmm. Interesting.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I would like to hear some information about this if
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: if if, if, if he's out.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I'm still gonna go with Orchard Farm. Mccover here, I'm
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: gonna go with the over.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I'll agree to Liams and Clair. Looks like he's doing
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: a good job.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's he's he's able to run the ball too,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: so that's a that's a good sign. And I don't know,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I just I think Orchard Farm is playing. You can't
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: say they're playing a tough schedule though, because they have
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: an in U city. Maybe no, they haven't, but they
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: still played Jennings an Orchard Farm. I mean, I don't
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: know what that that's because Jennings, I don't know. We
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: still don't really know how good they are. We just
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: we know they just aren't definitely not as good as
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: their record is. But that's, you know, for another time.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: But Orchard Farms at home, they have done a pretty
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: both team has done a pretty goodjob of taking care
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: of business all season.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: U City.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: They did almost lose the zoomat West Zoomalde East sorry,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and then Orchard Farm Crotches Zumaldy.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: So maybe if you just go off a little bit
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: of that, we will do that, or at.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Least I will do that. Yeah, I still have Orchard
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Farm covering and they'll take the over all.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Right, we yep, we agree on that one. Next up,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: we got De Smet at CBC. CBC, if you're by
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: thirty four and a half the over at sixty two.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: And a half, cadets to cover and take the over.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I know in usual years this would be a Game
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: of the Year candidate, but I mean they played earlier
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: earlier in the year in CBC one by forty three,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: and not much has change. I mean, I think De Smet,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I mean offensively, They've they've been, They've they've kind.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Of put this together.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Really, they've been offensively, but I mean Cam Sharp is
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: one of the better backs they've had in a while.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: But definitely last.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Year they had a pretty good running back in Jade mccaster.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't think we wanted to.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: I didn't think the Smith fans wanted to hear that
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: name in my coverage of them, So I don't want to.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, well, what do you make statements like that?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I gotta, you know, I gotta say what's what?
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: I just don't I don't know if I trust this
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Mess defense to keep this close.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna GOBC the cover. I'm gonna go with you over.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I don't trust their defense one bit. I'm sorry.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I wish not even that much of a diamond on
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: dis mess defenses. More offense is CBC's offense is so.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Good that it's both of those things.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, CBC's offense has not been stopped all season,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: and I don't see that happening.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Uh on Friday, November seventh.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So, Vic Williams has been amazing at running back.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: So as you know Nick mcclough and as a as
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: a runner, and then as a.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Quarterback, he's just been unbelievable with twenty four touchdowns in
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: one interception and doing He's done it again for them
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: this season. And yeah, Courtney Rivers is a kat and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Shay and Courtney Rivers are both adding good stats as well.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Kyd and Shay was twenty nine carries for three hundred
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and sixty yards, seven touchdowns and averaging twelve yards of carry. So, CBC,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: they have three guys who are averaging over ten yards
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: of carry who have all have over twenty five carries
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Insane. Yeah, that's insane. I'm sorry, that's just crazy.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't apologize for acknowledging that something is insane.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so I already said my prediction.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have as well.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Moving on number five years, the week we got rock
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: with something at Eureka.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Eureka is shared by fourteen and a half the over
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: runs a forty four and a half Rock with school
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: district rivalry here. These two teams played each other back
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: in week six and Rika came away with a twenty
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: to seven victory. I believe both these teams had by no.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Some some played Parker, that's right, someone played Parker.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: South rivalry game by the way, that some people don't
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: know about.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Summit versus South is a rivalry and there
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: was a convincing win.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they are somewhat close.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: They are rivals. They've told me.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: These two families will let you know that they are rivals.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: That's fine. Yeah, no, yeah, they are. They are in
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: a very similar area.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, as soon as you know, you
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: could be driving, you could be in you know, Manchester Baldwin,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and then and before.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: You know it, you you're in. You could be in
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the Summit school district.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing here, I think Trevor Kodak
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: is back for Eureka.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I've heard he was supposed to be returning at some.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Point, If not for this game, it should be for
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: next game. If he is back for this game, I
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: think that adds a whole new dimension Eureka's offense, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: that really allows him to open up their playbook. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Eureka to cover here. I'm gonna
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: go with the actually go with the.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Under I don't know if that changes their playbook that
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: much for what they plan to do.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: You would think after what happened last year against Washington.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: They're going to be expect actually dialed into this game because.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what like even two years before they
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: struggled with LaDou, But I mean they were down by
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: fourteen against them in the Districts semi finals, but then
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: they came.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Alive at halftime and won that and then won fairly
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: convincingly in the end. But yeah, they were they were
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: kind of asleep at the wheel halftime in that game
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and then just everything fell apart against them.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: For for Washington last year.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: So you would think that they're especially after last year,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: they're going to be dialed in for some but some
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I think they've actually gotten a little bit better after
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they lost the LaDou. They actually have not allowed a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: single point since that game, which is that's nice. I mean,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I know they played Marquette and bark myself with that
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: was actually really impressive that they shot out.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Written or twenty six nothing.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I actually got some covering in this game,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and I do have Eureka winning the game ultimately, but
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I do have of the Falcons covering here, and I'm
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'll take the under. I think these are two really
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: good defenses going at each other here.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Eureka especially has a really good defense.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: They've been there all season, but some they've done a
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: pretty good job, especially lately. I mean to shout out
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: three straight ponents in a row is especially, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: three large school opponents is pretty tough, and that's really good. So,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you know, both well coached teams. Both these teams I'm
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: pretty sure don't really care for each other, but not
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: saying there's any bad blood, but you know, just these
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: are two good programs in our area and I'm sure
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: there's you know, there, I think a respectable rivalry. But
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: that's what I mean by that. And I still got
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the Wildcats coming out on top. But I think this
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: will be a close game, should.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Be a fun one.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Next up, number four game of the week and into
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: the Class six bracket of Missouri, we got ZUMO West
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: at Liberty.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: ZUMO West is favored by eight and a half points,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: the overruns at forty six and a half. The Zumot
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: West defense has been on fire these past four weeks.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Holding Troy to seven points, holding Timberland to seven points,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: holding Handle to twenty eight, and then HOLDINGKWI Central fourteen
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: has been a great run for them, and it looks
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: like Clayton O'Brien has really stepped into his own recently,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: which has been great because I know earlier in the
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: season there were just a lot of inconsistencies offensively for
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: the Jags, and you know, only three points scored against Kirkwood. Yes,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: good defense, but three points is never going to be enough.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Twenty one against him on North not ideal, and then
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: nineteen against Francis Howell not good. And then it looks
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: like since the Timberland game, they've kind of been turning
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: it up recently.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: So that's a good sign for the Jaguars and for Liberty.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Good year for them.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: They got a bye week in the first week of
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, and this is gonna be interesting. I mean,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: both these teams have had a couple similar opponents, because
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: both teams were able to beat Timberland somewhat easily and
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: how Central pretty easily. So I'm not going to totally
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: use the transit of property here because you know, when
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: both teams win by that much, it's kind of like, okay, yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: sometimes those margins come down to JV guys making mistakes.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: We have the JV team in but Selwyn.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Thornton's had a great year for Liberty under center and
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: defensively for the Eagles. Logan Shuster, I think he's up
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: there and leaving the area and tackles.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: He has one hundred and twenty one tackles so far.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Six sacks, so he is just eating up tackles over
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: there for Liberty and this I think this is going
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: to be a defensive battle. But I think Liberty does cover.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: But I will take Zimont West to win the game,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: so I will go. I guess I'll go Liberty to
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: cover and I'll go with.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: The under Zuomont West for them. Clay O'Brien kind of
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: like last year.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: He struggled early, but you know, halfway point in the season,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: he's actually been really good. Ever since the Francis Hall game.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: He's thrown for at least two hundred yards in all
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: but one of those games, which is against Francis Hall North,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: where he had limited actually because they were just crushing them. Yeah,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: but so he's had three consecutive games there were two
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: hundred passing yards, which is good. He's now got eighteen
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: touchdowns to six interceptions, and it's been he's thrown for
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: no interceptions in his last four games, and he's completed over.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Sixty He's completed sixty two percent of his passes, which
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: is pretty good. Uh. There and Liberty, you know.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: We were talking a lot about them early in the season,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and but kind of how it goes like, they lost,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: you know, they were on a two game losing streak,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: lost a bit of their aura, and ever since then
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: they've just been They've had four really easy games against
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Washington's and Walt the East South and Hole. So now
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: here we are talking about them again. They're seven and two.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Had they've had another good they have had a good season.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I just think Zumalt West is probably besides Zumalt North,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: this is the other toughest opponent they'll see this season,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and perhaps and I as I will predict, we'll see ultimately,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: because I don't think they're gonna win. They've yeah, they've
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: only had trouble really one game defense offensively, and that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: was Agains Zumalt North. But Zumot West arguably has a
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: better defense than Zumalt North, Zumaltin North, as they've proven
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: this season with what they've been able to do, you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: against the likes of you know, Kirkwood and Bella East,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and even Zoomalt North a little bit too.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I mean they put each other. Zumalt Norris's defense had
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the edge there.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but just offensively, Zuomot North had had their
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: own struggles.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Ultimately they won the game there. I mean it was
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: just a really good game.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And then that was a very crazy game then, but hey,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: they only allowed seven points to Troy, which looks really good.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: That's huge.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: So I just Jalen Mack's a great running back and
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: they're off. They've had it, Like I said, they've had
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: a good season, but I think this is just gonna
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: be a really a too tough opponent for them. And
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: so I got Zumalt West covering and I'll take the under.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Next up, staying in the Missouri side, heading to the
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Class five bracket, we get LDU at Hayeswood East, the
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Rams favorite three and a half points here the over
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: runs at forty and a half. These two teams met
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: earlier in the season back in Week four. Do was
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: able to win seventeen to six. Their defense was really
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: able to shut down that option attack really well. And
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: you know, I talked about it a bit last episode
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: how LaDou will kind of throw some different looks at
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: you offensively with at least they are now with Evan
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: VII and kind of a pseudo wildcat look where he
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: can throw it, but they'll usually run the option or
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: run wildcout and balance runs at you, and in a
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: two minute drill, or if they're just looking for a
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: regular spread look, they'll put Jack Hensley in there. And
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: for La Dou, I think I really like the idea
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: of throwing out those different looks, but it's just.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: You gotta capitalize.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: You can't afford to just all right, we're gonna throw
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Evan via out there at qb oh three and out.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, that's not very nice.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: That's not very good because maybe later in the game,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: if if you're looking to get a first down and
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: gets run out some of the clock and he's what
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: he says, already stopped your wildcat and they know how
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: to stop it, maybe it's gonna be tough to get
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: get those first downs and crunch time. But I think
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: I think if Jack Hensley just rived the momentum that
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: he created for himself late in the first half, that's
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: gonna be huge for to do because he did miss
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: some throws earlier in the game, but he was really
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: on point in the second quarter. So if he can
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: just keep that up, I think Ladu is in good shape.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: And Ladu's Yeah, like you said, Ludu's defense really showed
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: how good they can be against Hazelodies too.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Actually are kind of more doubling down on their run.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Heavy offense, where they're just they're kind of like in
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: a yeah, like like under center, split back triple offense.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: If if Terrence Little can keep up what he's doing that,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: I like he has least chances. But I think LaDou
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: has a lot of good momentum going in the direction.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Douk. We're here, and I'm
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: gonna go.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: With the under the He's just gonna I think it's
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: like first who's first to score seventeen or get.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Past the seventeen seriously game that it's krobably true.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, unless we'll do really if they what they kind
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: of expand their offense a little bit, if they, you know,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: like I said in the last podcast, if they can
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: get the ball in the hands of Mark Mason Martin
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: and Evan Vye more often, I think they're good. Things
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: are gonna happen to them offensively, and like if if
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: they can get a two score lead, I think they're
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: gonna for sure win the game at any point if
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: they can get there, because their defense is really played.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: They've done really good has done besides Fox, they've done
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: a really good job against teams who run the football primarily.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: And you know, besides, I know it is, but Hazel
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Fox isn't.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Really they have a really big, physical offensive line and
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Hazel least does not have that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: And they're physical, but they're just not as big as
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: they are.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, they are, and we'll do prove that they can.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: You know, they can kind of shut down Hazel at least,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: you know, running back in the first first time they
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: play this will be played at Hazelood East. Might make
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: a small difference there, but you know, yeah, Ludu's got
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: good momentum.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: As long as they just don't turn the ball over,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: which they actually did not have any turnovers when they
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: played at Hazel East the first game they played it,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: which was a huge difference because that was that was
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a game with kind of thin margins and.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: They've had trouble with that this season. So as long
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: as they.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Don't have any bad turnovers, especially in minus area. I
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: think Ludu's gotta have the advantage in this game. So yeah,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pick them to cover and I'll take
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the unner.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: So we agree there, all right, very nice next step
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: number two game that we can back up to the
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Class six pro active. We've got Troy at Saint Dominic.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: The Trojans fired by six and a half. The over
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: is at fifty one and a half for Troy. You know,
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: we talked but last eisod about how we got car
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Dial and Talon Rowland literally setting school records for them
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: with their career accolades, and how while car Schaeffer they
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: don't need him to be some incredible know complete twenty
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: passes for three hundred yards. They they've formed out of
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: their offense in a way to keep him comfortable, and
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: an offensive line has done exactly what they needed to
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: do to make that team succeed. So I think Troy
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: is in a really good spot here. And for Saint Dominic,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: they're not known, they're undefeated, they're really good team. British
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Machines arguably the best QB in their school's history, and
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: he also set the school record for a believed career
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: passing yards.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah he is quarterback, so sorry, Gab.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah a fan of the show game series, Yes he is.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: And so we got two teams that have players, you know,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: senior classes that mean so much of these schools, and
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: the emotions are gonna be riding so high. I mean,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: these boys care so much about what they do and
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: they're gonna they're absolutely gonna give all they got this game,
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: So this should be fun.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: But I like Troy in the spot.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, Saint Dominic's only really been tested against MITDS
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: and Cape Central, and those two teams are I mean,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: m CS is not the ms CDs we have seen
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: in recent years. And Keep Central I mean they're okay,
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: I mean they're seven to three, but I mean they'd
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: live for life.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: So that's good. But I wouldn't say lift. I wouldn't.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't put Keep Central on the level of Troy
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And Troy has been training in the right direction
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: and they've been able to keep the ball secure. So
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Troy to cover here, and I'm
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: gonna go with the over.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this Saint Dominic will pose some problems
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: defensively for Troy because they have a really good defense.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I mean that m CDs game was different because like
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: m CDs has athletes, and they exposed Saint Dominic's kind
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: of lack of a speed, you know, speed athlete. That's
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: that's kind of their weakness is Saint Dominic is not
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: a fast team.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: But they're really well coached.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: They are, they have they're pretty good on both sides
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: of the ball. I think they there's they're gonna have
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity of at least trying to control the
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: ball offensively because they do have a good rushing attack.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, they don't have anybody who's really gonna you know,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: they don't.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: They don't have any speedsters on their team, but they're
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: really good at just getting you know, four to six
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: yards you know, on a typical run. They're really good
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: at doing that. And they showed against him I see, Yes,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: at least they showed me that they're really good at
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: controlling the clock. And if they can make it into
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: a game like that, then they have a really good
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: shot of winning this game. But Troy can do that too,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: and I just think Troy they're more battle tested. They've played.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: They're really physical. Both teams are physical too. You know,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Carter Doll and Chris Winder are two really good running
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: backs that sant Dominic has gotta have a deal with.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've really seen a team with two
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: running backs like that all season.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: And Troy's got a They got a good defense.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Too, not the greatest, but but a good one, a
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: good unit. And this I think is gonna be a
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: pretty fun game. You know, you got to worry about
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: sant Dominic's passing attack because of what the threat that
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Shashien poses with his with his arm. But I'm still
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: gonna go with I'm gonna go with the four seeded
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Trojans in this one. I do have them covering and
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I will hmmm, I'll take I'll take the over as well.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: All Right, we agree again.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Here we go, Number one game of the week, Class
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: six bracket of Missouri slew High at Lafayette. The Lancers
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: are favored by eleven and a half points here the
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: openers at fifty and a half. Lafia comes into this
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: one nine to zero. Both teams coming off a bye
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: as well. We've talked a lot about Lafayette and how
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: you know, Bragiy Meesek is a great He's not a
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: dual threat guy, but if when he scrambles, he could
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: be very dangerous.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: And they also love running.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: They also love running him on qble plays near the
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: goal line, and there are just there are I think
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: with Lafayette, there are just a lot of guys that
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: don't get a lot of attention or I guess don't
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: rock up a bunch of stats on defense that play
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: really big roles for them, especially in stopping the run.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: And this is gonna be a defensive battle, I think.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: But the question, the ultimate question here is can Kyron
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: LB make quick throws when he needs to Because we
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: saw against CBC and against Rockers for a bit. When
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: the defense can bring up good pressure, LB can kind
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: of freak out sometimes and hold on the ball too
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: long and get sacked. He's got an incredible arm. LB's
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: got an incredible arm. He can get the ball downfield
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: really really well, but sometimes he just can't get rid
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: of it in time. So if he can just trust himself,
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: trust his own arm, trust his receivers to make catches
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: when they need to.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: I like Slu's offense here, but I don't know. I
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: think loft is.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Ultimately going to be too much. I'm gonna go for
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: the Lanswers to cover here, and I'm going to go
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: with the under I believe.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: I think I'm going to this game on Friday.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I think I am, okay, I might.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: We will have a camera there. I won't be there
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: because we have one guy who is kind of films
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: exclusively for Lafayette, so I'm like, Okay, that works out.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I'll just go somewhere else.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I think I'll be here, but I'm not. I'm not
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: exactly sure which games have pointed this weekend. Still still
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: kind of trying to figure that out.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Lafiat is a I got more to say about this game,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: but wild It is a fantastic town.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: It's a great place to go live. Right off.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: It's at the end of Clayton Road on the west
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: end of it. And the football stadium is not it's
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: a it's a it's a nice place to play football,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: but it's I wouldn't say it's like one of the
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: greatest stadiums in the state, you know, by any means.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: But they have a really long grandstand that kind of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: stretches across the whole field. You maybe we could potentially
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: be disappointed with their student session, because I've definitely had
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: some opinions on their lack of participation at going to
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: games at times.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: In the one I've been to this year where it
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: was Lafayette at Eureka.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have a good student section for that, right
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: they know?
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, at first it was about ten minutes to kick
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: off and there were like twenty layte kids in the stands.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, this is in sane things
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: County there for you.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: Right before the game started. It filled out pretty quick,
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: so at least at least they all showed up.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I think I think they will have a good student section,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Like it's it's slew. It's a good MCC school that
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: will typically get more students there because they just, you know,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: it's just a bigger event when that happened, so I
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: think that was a pretty good student section.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: I just I've just been to some games where it's like, guys,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: you gotta be kidding me, like this is it?
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: So I think I think they'll have a good turnout,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: good fan base there, and just really good area in general.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: You said earlier, like when you saw the Lafayette Eureka
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: game that Lafayette's offense isn't anything particularly like extremely creative,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: but they're just really really good at exposing whatever defenses
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: kind of give them.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, So whatever coverage you're in, they're they're gonna find
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: your weak points. If if you're in man, they'll those
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: just run mesh concepts or playing concepts to get your
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: linebackers out of whack, and they will take deep shots
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: when necessary. Trance Bills is a fantastic receiver. He's great
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: at catching deep balls. Music has got a really strong arm.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: So if you dare go cover one or cover zero,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: goest them. They will attack you deep and they do
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: a really good job of seeing.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: We got a shout out. Here's the thing.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: We got a shout out Tim Washington thirty six catches,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty three yards, thirteen touchdowns, All team leader,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: all team leader categories, fantastic season for Washington's Well, they'll
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: take shots with Washington too, and Zach Tobin and is
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: a pretty good receiver too, So it's not just we
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: love Trance Bills here, but.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: It's just not all about him.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as the receiving court, they got other
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: guys and yeah, and they don't have much for a
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: rushing attack. I mean, they don't have one particularly great
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: running back, but they they block really well and actually
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Cody Key has been a solid running back for them.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I must say, eleven touchdowns, six hundred and fifty eight yards.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: You know, that's they're just they have a really balanced offense.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: And Misek he's thrown for, assuming he has assuming he
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't get injured, he should finish. He should get over
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: two thousand passing yards for the season. He only needs
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: twenty one more yards for that. He's got twenty six
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and only two interceptions. He is basically the perfect
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: quarterback for this system for what they want to use,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: and they just they take advantage of him. Seems like
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: this is an offense that will just cater to whatever
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: athletes and kids they have.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: So that's it's really cool that they do there for that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, we've been big on SLEW all season,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: but we've kind of been We've really liked, we really
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: loved this Lafayette team of what they've been able to do.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I must say, I will have geez, this is tough.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I got Lafayette winning the game. I'm taking the under
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: I think Slew's gonna come out with something different. I mean,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: they're lost, so Rockhurst was so weird. I do think
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: they will cover though, but I do have Lafayette winning
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: the game. I think this will be a really tightly
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: contested game. So Lou's got a really good defense, but
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Lafayette's got a great defense too, and Love's a frankly
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: struggled a lot on offense this season. And I think
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Lafayette will get some points and that's gonna be the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: difference in this game. And if you choose to go
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to that game, that'll be a good one.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know this is this is the toughest week
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: of the year when it comes to deciding what games
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: to go to because there's just so many good games.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Are pretty tough too, District League, is really that's true?
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: Well, there's so many good, good games on all three
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: sides of our rivers. Yes, best of the Missouri, between
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: the Missouri Mississippi and then east of Mississippi in Illinois,
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: and there's good games all over the place and there's
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: great ones on in It's a tough decision for both
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Friday and Saturday.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's great games going on both days,
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: So we'll see, we will see. I'm sure I will.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Hopefully I can come to a decision tonights. We can
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: send our emails to get our credentials, credentials for the games.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that won't be a problem.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I can and guarantee you that we're in good standing
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: with Misha. All right, So thank you guys for listening.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Can't wait for the weekend, first week in November. It's
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be a great one, all right. We'll see you
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: guys out there.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Peace,
