1:09
[SPEAKER_01]: The direction of the Indiana Pacers has changed about two minutes after I posted yesterday's podcast of course.
1:16
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have Mike Rich's assessment of the Madder and Zubot's trade coming up.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, lots of boys basketball results from Thursday and we will look ahead to Friday's Girls Basketball sectional semi-finals with Rob Hunt of the Harold Bulletin.
1:31
[SPEAKER_01]: We also talk to some girls swimming sectional.
1:33
[SPEAKER_01]: That conversation will come after Thursday's local and national rundown in Friday's preview.
1:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Before we get to all of that, we had a special pacers report on Thursday.
1:45
[SPEAKER_01]: a full assessment of the trade with our Pacer's Guy Mike Rich and Tipton Tribune and Elwood Colluter Sports Editor Michelle Garmin.
1:53
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a clip of that coming up.
1:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Also this weekend, check out Will Rutherford Strictly bias podcast.

[SPEAKER_01]: That'll be on Saturday.
2:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, we had an indie car report released on Friday with Elijah Poe and Michelle Garmin is a guest talking about the DC race in August.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: can thank you enough for joining us my friends and i will be back tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the day after that we thought it was going to happen then we thought it probably wasn't going to happen yesterday then right after publishing yesterday show the pacers did it
2:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They moved Benedict Maatherin and several draft picks to the Los Angeles Clippers for one of the best to eight to ten big men in the NBA.
2:42
[SPEAKER_01]: The Clippers also got two first round draft picks including this year's.
2:46
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's anywhere between the fifth and ninth pick, right now the odds of that are about 50-50.
2:53
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's 1 through 4 or 10 through 30, Kevin Pritchard and the Pacers keep the pick.
2:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's fair.
3:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He had about the same assessment that we've been talking about on our podcast, which is it's a pretty deep draft, but 1 through 4 are special.
3:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Then 5 through 20.
3:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You can throw him in a hat.
3:12
[SPEAKER_01]: You never know which guy's going to pan out.
3:15
[SPEAKER_01]: In 2016, 27, the Pacers are expected to have one of the best-arting lineups in the NBA, with Tyrese Hall of Burden and Jordan M. Hard, Erin Eastmith, Pascal Siakum, and Evita Subat.
3:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Evita Evita Evita.
3:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I've just been calling him Zubat for the last couple of years.
3:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no idea how to pronounce his first name.
3:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good as Zubat's is.
3:38
[SPEAKER_01]: He's pretty cheap.
3:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's probably what attracted the Pacers to him as much as anything else.
3:46
[SPEAKER_01]: He's also an outstanding shot maker, playmaker, passer, very good rebound or something the Pacers haven't had in a while.
3:54
[SPEAKER_01]: A real big man, plus he's a cheaper than both last year's center mile's Turner and much cheaper than Matherin is probably going to be after he goes through restricted free agency the summer.
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's our Pacer's guy, Mike Rich's thoughts on the news from Thursday's special Pacer's report.
4:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Zubot's is in, Madden is out.
4:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I think my opinion is probably the general consensus that this is a pretty good deal for the Pacer's, but could we have done better with an asset like Madden?
4:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think this is a good deal for the Pacer's.
4:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a good deal for Madden.
4:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm going to LA paired with Garland and Leonard.
4:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a really good move for him.
4:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And really kind of looking out for somebody you drafted and brought up did him the right way.
4:52
[SPEAKER_02]: The return was one player.
4:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we had Kobe Brown was also in his training as well.
4:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Gid Zubos for what 18 million a year.
5:03
[SPEAKER_02]: We were going to pay even if we were going to do
5:06
[SPEAKER_02]: sign and trade with matter and it was going to be 20 million plus.
5:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think we're getting the discount on Zubas for the next two years.
5:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he fits what we needed.
5:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that was the fun of the future that was just needed to be fixed.
5:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a really good defender.
5:28
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to get defensive rebounds.
5:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to really work well when Halibur comes back to pick
5:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited to really have a true center and I, there's some risk to this trade obviously with, you know, you're potentially giving up a 5 through 9 pit.
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the issue, isn't it?
5:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about Matherin for a zoo bots, but really it was more than that.
5:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's kind of the disappointment.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think because he is cheap and fits the Pacer's salary plans, it's probably worth giving up some draft picks, some draft capital, but Mike, five to nine unprotected, that's rough.
6:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I pictured must know this much better than we do.
6:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And where he feels he's going to land at the end of the season.
6:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm gonna be sick to my stomach if we end up 5-3 times.
6:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That would suck, but I've seen the top four guys play their special.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen the guys who are expected to be 5-3-9, they're very good.
6:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It's possible, Kingston Fleming's from Houston, especially.
6:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure yet, but deep draft with four really, really good ones.
6:46
[SPEAKER_01]: The Matherin Zubuch deal was the biggest of the final day of the trade deadline, but it wasn't the only move after being traded by the timber walls to the bulls earlier this week.
6:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Indy native Mike Connelly is returning to Minnesota, also the buck's traded Kole Anthony for Nick Richards.
7:03
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes them slightly better, and it'll be buck's paces on Friday should be an interesting one, obviously no Zubuch and no Richards.
7:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So Miles Turner will probably be the only big man in the game, so expect him to take about 12-3 pointers.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost forgot we're like 48 hours away from the Super Bowl.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Super Bowl 60 C-Hox and Patriates is 630 on NBC from Santa Clara.
7:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Z-Ox are a 4.5-point favorite.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll rather vert and I previewed that on historically biased podcast and spoiler, he and I picked different teams.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Seems like a pretty uninteresting, super bowl story line wise, but I think it might be a really good game.
7:49
[SPEAKER_01]: A few national headlines produced Drew Breeze and former Cole's Kicker Adam Venetary are two of the five newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
7:58
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll be joined by Larry Fitzgerald Luke Keakley and Roger Craig, about time for Roger Craig.
8:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Matthew Stafford was awarded the 2025 NFL MVP award, that should have gone to Joshua Owen.
8:10
[SPEAKER_01]: His first at the age of 37, he also confirmed Thursday the heel return to the Rams next season.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And he and the Rams will reportedly play against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.
8:23
[SPEAKER_01]: The NFL's first game down under.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: and speaking of Hall of Famers, which Stafford is on his way to being.

9:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm guessing not as a quarterback, but I'm not sure.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to ask him and see if we get him on the podcast.
9:14

9:29

[SPEAKER_01]: They thought of the rankings this last week because they lost the number one O'Kill I guess.
9:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is weird.
9:40

18:22
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to talk about that here in just a minute, but before we do want to talk about some high school girls basketball and the sexual semi-finals are on Friday and Rob.
18:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It sure seems like you're going to have at least three sexual champions done it.
18:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's a little bit of a trick with one of those, but certainly Lepel, on their home court is a huge favorite, certainly Friday, against Taylor, that should be a mismatch, that it could still be a fun Lepel, Frank, the sectional championship, although Lepel will be in the favorite, and then over at Selma, Alex, Adrian is a prohibitive favorite there as well, to repeat their sectional title.
19:09
[SPEAKER_03]: The entry comes in over,
19:11
[SPEAKER_03]: The young lady at her neighbor's case fee.
19:14
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just great and eligibility.
19:15
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
19:17
[SPEAKER_03]: For great field and while I know I apologize, I know very little about her other than she's very talented.
19:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that enough to make a very good middle tonight's team?
19:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Does it shift maybe the balance of power that sexual a little bit?
19:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know enough about her to to come any the way, but I know that middle tonight's team is very very good.
19:40
[SPEAKER_03]: And they've had a phenomenal season and they beat good players all year, and so I still would consider them a favorite.
19:49
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see what happens.
19:51
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be a chip to keep.
19:53
[SPEAKER_03]: on Saturday, Bill Gates plays Fritz McBride-A and great fuel sets and we'll play Aderson, the other some of them.
20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Name is Riley Shell Hammer.
20:03
[SPEAKER_01]: She averaged 18 points in four games before leaving Lawrence Central earlier this year, strange that she'd be granted eligibility in the middle of the postseason, right?
20:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been developing for a while too.
20:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think this is.
20:19
[SPEAKER_03]: anything that just happened recently.
20:21
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, a little bit more essential.
20:24
[SPEAKER_03]: So, uh, fellas, it's familiar with her and they played last year.
20:27
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't remember if she would have been playing for them, but they played Pettleton Heights earlier this year.
20:34
[SPEAKER_03]: But they, I'm sure they're well aware of what she could do and, uh, it broaders will have to get playing.
20:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Bravo.
20:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still going to take Pettleton in this one.
20:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so.
20:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, look, they didn't get where they are by beating a bunch of no buddies with the salad.
20:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they've been really confused.
20:54
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, eight of how far is among the elite of the state, Olivia Jones, and my opinion is, look, I haven't seen everybody at the state.
21:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
21:04
[SPEAKER_03]: So maybe this means nothing to a lot of people out there.
21:08
[SPEAKER_03]: For my money, Olivia Jones might be the most underrated player anywhere
21:14
[SPEAKER_03]: If she there's a lot of teams or she played for she would be the one averaging 20 points and data says that all as she does so many things for mental tonight's a team could lock down how first she can go off the score Sammy Brock who's a new comer has been out and it really a nice addition for them in the back court.
21:33
[SPEAKER_03]: We know about Aubrey Ward for what she can do she has 16 points the other night
21:37
[SPEAKER_03]: should get hot for three and really light things up.
21:40
[SPEAKER_03]: They've got a little thing to teach a lot of ways.
21:42
[SPEAKER_03]: They can be too deep in some way at all.
21:43
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, they've got good guard plays, all the things that you need to be really good to see.
21:49
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see what happens.
21:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to, I, I, I, I'm sticking.
21:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm riding with Benltonites.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And you mentioned that it could be Franklin and Lapelle in the championship game in two.
22:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I could be Benltonites and Anderson in the sectional championship game in two.
22:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if you're, you know, you're a massive county basketball fan.
22:07
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what you're hoping for, you know, and see some county rivals.
22:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I think, you know, again, Reynolds might say, well, they'll be happy favorites, but to see the rivals, you know, for really good fan bases, it'll be loud.
22:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think the nice atmosphere be fun for the fans to show up.
22:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And if we get those two matchups, hey, there's some might be a year away.
22:33
[SPEAKER_03]: for doing something like that.
22:34
[SPEAKER_03]: They've got a really good or young core of talent.
22:39
[SPEAKER_03]: But this might be a year or two really for that.
22:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Watch out for a riot scotch.
22:42
[SPEAKER_03]: She is a really good player for sure.
22:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Back to my entry.
22:45
[SPEAKER_03]: She said a nice piece.
22:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Just a soft work.
22:51
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how she was.
22:52
[SPEAKER_03]: She's already at an entry, but she's had a really nice soft
22:58
[SPEAKER_03]: No, the entity that might be interesting will see what happens would be Shenandoah, and I don't think that's the team that's really you cover, but they might have caught a bit of a break.
23:08
[SPEAKER_03]: They were first of all, they were on the soft side of the bracket, which is good.
23:12
[SPEAKER_03]: What you got a young team, they're which they are.
23:14
[SPEAKER_03]: You got there when a couple games, which they should, they should win pretty handily again tomorrow, but you didn't count it to feed it to a teacher on the other side.
23:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Those were kind of the two teams there.
23:26
[SPEAKER_03]: But that was, I think a minor upset, not a huge upset, but a minor upset.
23:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Certainly, you know, the softest road even more for Shenandoah.
23:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I would, I still think eating counties quite the favorite there, but I definitely give Shenandoah a bunch of chance.
23:40
[SPEAKER_03]: They've got some, they've got some, a couple soft horses who can really light things up and be happy Patrick has everything.
23:47
[SPEAKER_03]: She's a phenomenal athlete.
23:49
[SPEAKER_03]: She probably liked to tuck a sectional chip, a chip on her belt before she gets out of Shenandoah.
23:57
[SPEAKER_01]: no doubt.
23:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Alexandria lost, you know, pretty much the entire team reloaded through transfers.
24:09
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when you're successful program rob kids want to play for you and, you know, give Mickey Hose your some talent he's going to win.
24:17
[SPEAKER_03]: That's necessarily part of the story.
24:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Leila Dietzer comes over, Frank didn't.
24:21
[SPEAKER_03]: She is actually a family member, I believe, related to some way.
24:24
[SPEAKER_03]: She gives them stability at point guard, which was a big question, Mark, right?
24:27
[SPEAKER_03]: But Jacqueline, how would you react to it?
24:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Grace Wood comes over.
24:30
[SPEAKER_03]: When I saw that transfer from Madison, Grant, my first thought was softball.
24:34
[SPEAKER_03]: What's she got?
24:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
24:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Talk about depth shader.
24:36
[SPEAKER_03]: She's going to make that great softball team even better.
24:39
[SPEAKER_03]: She's a phenomenal softball player.
24:41
[SPEAKER_03]: She's been great on the basketball court, right?
24:42
[SPEAKER_03]: She's average at eight or nine points a game.
24:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
24:45
[SPEAKER_03]: She says she gives him a lot of athleticism at length.
24:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Really, I'm pleased with the over last year.
24:50
[SPEAKER_03]: 100% and really kind of been kind of a surprise for them.
24:55
[SPEAKER_03]: But the end of part of that is some of their younger players colleague David soon as it has a really nice all around talent as a sophomore kind of was a role player last year played behind Riley Kellon to the post, but this year she stepped up, I think she's average about 11 points a game.
25:11
[SPEAKER_03]: and gives him some free betting plus she's kind of a forward I would say she probably a three maybe a four in terms of where she would typically play but she can handle the ball very well and she's she's she's got some pretty good handles so just to really get all around talent so it's not just the chance first but I don't think they would be where they are without needs or and what that's for sure.
25:37
[SPEAKER_01]: All year last year, everybody just kept saying if they could just get more around Lanaya wills at LaPelle.
25:44
[SPEAKER_01]: If they could just get more around here, they could, they're skies the limit.
25:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And here we are.
25:49
[SPEAKER_01]: The other night, I covered the game, and I barely looked to throw her the ball for the first quarter and a half, and that's a good sign.
25:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I think that was a question all year this year is somebody else going to score the size of the line because she's going to go out there get her 20 plus every night.
26:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's eventually now.
26:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, she had indeed a great job of guarding her in the first half, and it was frustrating.
26:10
[SPEAKER_03]: It was for La Naya was they were face guarding her.
26:14
[SPEAKER_03]: She really didn't touch the ball much in the first quarter, but so if he good one goes out there and scores.
26:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I think 10 points in the first quarter had 14 in the first half.
26:25
[SPEAKER_03]: And so they still had a 10-point lead, I think, before will and I have our score.
26:31
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's what Lapelle wants to see is, because they're going to run into somebody somewhere, in this tournament that's going to be able to slow Davis or slow wheels down, wrong and I, I'm sorry.
26:42
[SPEAKER_03]: But they're going to run into somebody somewhere that's going to be able to slow wheels down.
26:46
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just the fact, can so if you give a go out there
26:53
[SPEAKER_03]: because Serenity Coniors continue to get more comfortable and show what kind of talent she really is.
27:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I think she has 16 the other night.
27:02
[SPEAKER_03]: She's very capable of going crazy and getting to the basket.
27:06
[SPEAKER_03]: She could hit the threes.
27:08
[SPEAKER_03]: And Aggie Bowdenhorn, we've seen her hit some threes this year.
27:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I think she was three for four the other night.
27:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And two of them brought back to Mac Possessions.
27:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It was kind of a, that was kind of a dagger moment.
27:19
[SPEAKER_03]: They were, they were, I don't think they were ever pushed
27:23
[SPEAKER_03]: They're in that third quarter.
27:25
[SPEAKER_03]: She gets to a row and Conor said, well, and boom, it was like a 25 second 9-0 run and the game was pretty much over at that point.
27:34
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, we'll still finish with 22.
27:37
[SPEAKER_03]: So,
27:39
[SPEAKER_03]: What I think a lot of us would consider me an off night first.
27:42
[SPEAKER_03]: She's still sports 22 points.
27:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and if they get that around her, their dangerous team.
27:49
[SPEAKER_03]: There's nobody in two.
27:49
[SPEAKER_03]: And they couldn't meet now.
27:51
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they didn't get that against South Knox.
27:53
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a team that you want to win a state championship.
27:55
[SPEAKER_03]: You might have to be South Knox.
27:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And they didn't get a real good floor gate around Lidaya in that meeting earlier this year.
28:02
[SPEAKER_03]: So.
28:03
[SPEAKER_03]: It definitely a good sign for I went a long way around the bar to say, yes, this is a good sign for La Pelle, that they're getting this up at their story.
28:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to say this for the first time ever defending champion Anderson prep.
28:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Also has a chance to get to the championship as well.
28:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're going to be a little, they're a little, you know, they graduated a great senior class degree through nearly one, two sectionals, but definitely the first team is sectional in the school's history, and then they backed that up with a regional title, but you lose a lot of people's, you lose a key on or that's a lot to replace and then you add in the fact that Indianapolis 10 is pretty good in that subject.
28:47
[SPEAKER_03]: So they're kind of the favorite, I think APA wins tomorrow and gets to the final though.
28:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Show up, you play well, you take something away from the other team and then you can happen.
29:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:03
[SPEAKER_03]: I really didn't know what to expect from the guests this year.
29:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I wasn't sure with all they lost.
29:08
[SPEAKER_03]: That was such a loss.
29:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a program that was facing that has never really had a ton of success.
29:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And you lose a class like that, are they going to be able to win any games that if sure they did?
29:18
[SPEAKER_03]: They won maybe more games than a lot of people expected.
29:21
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, that's how to what you've been able to do.
29:23
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what happens tomorrow.
29:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Seems like Julie from McCall might be a good one.
29:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, she is.
29:29
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no doubt about that.
29:30
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to cross her a few times and she was a nice job wherever she could.
29:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Girls, sexual swimming, preliminaries at Hamilton's
29:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, we had a few, uh, of course, that's, look, that section was a grinder.
29:49
[SPEAKER_03]: That's, on far with our golf teams going down in the noblesville over here.
29:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
29:53
[SPEAKER_03]: But, uh, yeah, but HSC officers certainly are the dominant teams, Hamiltonites, good, okay, is very good.
30:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, but for Madison County, we had two, uh, individuals who qualify for the eight finals, which means they have guaranteed themselves a top eight podium finish.
30:09
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're the same two that did it last year, Lily Jacobs for Wappell and Evelyn Moore from Penelty Nights, both our juniors.
30:17
[SPEAKER_03]: So, Chase may be due three feet, but Jacobs did so in the hundred-yard press stroke and more in the hundred-yard backstroke.
30:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Interestingly, Moore is actually going to make three podiums because she's also on two relay teams that made the eight finals.
30:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And Jacobs is on two relay teams as well, so both of them will be, well, have a nice day Saturday as
30:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Great, great performances from both who are both mass and county shape.
30:43
[SPEAKER_03]: It was actually more was the only only pedal tonight's actually the only girl not from what Pell to what a swim sex or county championship or what this year at that first week.
30:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And actually we had.
30:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Not only lapel and end of the night's been Anderson and L would both have teams, relay teams that made the A final.
31:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So all of our schools that had swim, have full swim teams are going to have podium finishes, which is nice.
31:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Anderson did so in the 400 free saw relay at the end.
31:18
[SPEAKER_03]: They believe they placed eighth in that race and L would open the deck in the, in the, in the mentally
31:26
[SPEAKER_03]: off the top of my head, I believe they've finished seventh rate in that race.
31:28
[SPEAKER_03]: So they are in the podium as well.
31:30
[SPEAKER_03]: So every school gets to say everybody gets a podium finish.
31:33
[SPEAKER_03]: It was so that's a good thing.
31:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And I want to tip the cap.
31:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Frank doesn't have a full team that they've got two or three kids.
31:41
[SPEAKER_03]: One of them Chelsea Newton, who we know from cross country track, she's a really nice athlete.
31:47
[SPEAKER_03]: She swam for Frank didn't make a podium but she is going to continue her athletic career.
31:54
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the first for me covering she's going to do the triathlon at University of Indianapolis next year.
32:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I talked about that a little bit.
32:04
[SPEAKER_03]: The UND coach said her times running and swimming were what they were looking for so she's going to be a triathlete.
32:11
[SPEAKER_03]: at university of the apples, which I think is neat.
32:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to point out that's the first time in cool.
32:16
[SPEAKER_03]: I've ever heard that as a primary scholarship, that's pretty cool for her.
32:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Very cool.
32:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course Rob is going to be covering, grows basketball all weekend, anything else coming up at the Harrell Bolton for you?
32:34
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll actually have a triple header coverage Friday night.
32:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Our friends at Carter will be over at Wompahoney with Alexandria.
32:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Elijah Poe will be over at Pendleton for that.
32:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Those seven finals will all be at LaPelle.
32:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Saturday, I know I'll start the day at Pendleton Heights with the boys wrestling regional, which will take place there.
32:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, since it's obvious one, I may just stay at Pendleton.
32:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Make a day of it and cover that game Saturday night.
33:01
[SPEAKER_03]: But we'll see what happens.
33:03
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be somewhere Saturday night, I'll leave it at that.
33:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Too bad you don't work hard at all in your job, Rob.
33:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, one of these days, we're gonna figure out how to clone ourselves, just temporarily, not on a permanent thing, but just to now just flung enough so I can throw myself out there a couple of other sites on a given night.
33:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, a little bit of help.
33:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Just a little bit of help.
33:28
[SPEAKER_03]: A little bit of help.
33:29
[SPEAKER_03]: A little dark ball-state carcals are playing so I can't have my kids
33:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Rob Hott, thank you so much for your time as always, and we'll talk to you soon.
33:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's a pleasure to join you, Greg.
33:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for having me.
33:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks Rob.
33:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks Mike.
33:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
33:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Come back tomorrow.
