Speaker 2: the fourth of July, so happy belated fourth of July everybody.
0:21
Speaker 2: And we have some news to start off with you
0:25
Speaker 2: guys with our upcoming GSB app that we planned a
0:31
Speaker 2: release to the public.
0:32
Speaker 1: This coming August, and Roman, you have some information on that. Yeah.
0:36
Speaker 3: So the team here at Gayaway Sports Venue Enterprise has
0:39
Speaker 3: been doing a lot of work behind the scenes. So
0:42
Speaker 3: some big news here. We've got a GSV website in
0:46
Speaker 3: iOS app releasing in mid August, and this website will
0:49
Speaker 3: be live and available to all users for free. It'll
0:54
Speaker 3: be just Gaateway Sportsvinue dot com and then it'll.
0:56
Speaker 4: Be again be released in mid August.
0:58
Speaker 3: The iOS app will be on the App Store and
1:01
Speaker 3: our app's gonna cover over one hundred schools in the
1:03
Speaker 3: singlest area in both the Missouri and Illinois sides. Yes,
1:07
Speaker 3: and we'll have scores, schedules, rosters, team stats, individual player
1:11
Speaker 3: stats all that, and we'll have teams sport rankings, and
1:15
Speaker 3: we'll have the stat leaders for each sport, and we'll
1:18
Speaker 3: cover football, men's and women's basketball, men's soccer, and baseball.
1:23
Speaker 3: And you'll have all our latest GSB videos and podcasts,
1:26
Speaker 3: so our audio and video content is going to be
1:28
Speaker 3: on there, and then once the season.
1:31
Speaker 4: Starts, it'll have live scores and player.
1:33
Speaker 3: Stats to games, so on Friday nights we're trying to
1:37
Speaker 3: look at, you know, out of town scores, that's'll be
1:39
Speaker 3: the place to go, yes, and then it'll also have
1:43
Speaker 3: GSB merchandise on it, so if you ever want to,
1:46
Speaker 3: you know, get a GSV shirt, you can get one
1:48
Speaker 3: there and also have historical data dating back to before
1:52
Speaker 3: two thousand four schools.
1:53
Speaker 4: That can get information from.
1:56
Speaker 3: And then it's also going to be super easy for
1:58
Speaker 3: teams to upload their own team and player information and
2:01
Speaker 3: to insert live score while the game is happening. And
2:05
Speaker 3: for all of our head coaches listening to the podcast
2:07
Speaker 3: right now, please be expecting an email from us soon
2:11
Speaker 3: at your school email for how to get up set
2:14
Speaker 3: up with our platform. So fortunately the coaches in the
2:19
Speaker 3: area are pretty cooperative and know that it's good to
2:22
Speaker 3: spread the worry about their team and get this information
2:25
Speaker 3: out there.
2:25
Speaker 2: And this is going to be a pretty seamless thing
2:29
Speaker 2: to do moving forward with putting stats in because you
2:32
Speaker 2: will not have to deal with any third party websites
2:34
Speaker 2: to put your stats through them, and so like, once
2:37
Speaker 2: you really you kind of get on board with the website,
2:41
Speaker 2: it's going to be really easy to put your stats
2:43
Speaker 2: in pretty quickly. And I think I don't know how
2:49
Speaker 2: fast coaches typically get their stats in, you know, if
2:52
Speaker 2: it's like right after a game, but I mean phasically
2:54
Speaker 2: you could do it probably within an hour if you
2:56
Speaker 2: have all the stats and if like you have a
2:58
Speaker 2: computer at you at the right for you and be
3:01
Speaker 2: really quick. And it's a as always stats as a
3:04
Speaker 2: I think imperative way to recognize your athletes and your
3:08
Speaker 2: kids and you know, help get them recruited. But also
3:11
Speaker 2: just status is a great way to keep the general
3:13
Speaker 2: public informed about your team and you know how good
3:15
Speaker 2: you're doing.
3:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
3:16
Speaker 3: And the whole goal about this website and app especially
3:19
Speaker 3: it's for it to be the central place for anything
3:21
Speaker 3: and everything single that's high school sports, yes, and for
3:23
Speaker 3: it to be a very user friendly, a smartphone friendly app.
3:30
Speaker 4: And it'll be totally free use for everybody.
3:33
Speaker 3: We know a lot of our audiences high school kids
3:36
Speaker 3: who may not have the most.
3:37
Speaker 4: Winning for around, which is totally fine. So we're going
3:39
Speaker 4: to try.
3:39
Speaker 3: To advertise to anybody and everybody. And we're thankful to
3:43
Speaker 3: the coaches that cooperate and help us out with this
3:46
Speaker 3: as well and couldn't do without them and out of
3:49
Speaker 3: this development, so it should be should be a fun
3:51
Speaker 3: new way to experience high school sports in the area.
3:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, our goal is to have this be one of
3:56
Speaker 2: the best high school sports websites in the country for
3:59
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the platform is already there, and
4:02
Speaker 2: you know, we've been doing this for a while, and
4:04
Speaker 2: you know, we have a lot of stats engines and
4:07
Speaker 2: you know, just really good people helping us behind the scenes,
4:09
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, our our goals to be the
4:11
Speaker 2: best possible product we can be, and uh, I've seen
4:15
Speaker 2: a lot of different websites and I just don't you know, Look,
4:17
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to be the best,
4:19
Speaker 2: but we just want to be the best we can be.
4:21
Speaker 1: And there's just not a whole lot of people who
4:23
Speaker 1: run websites like this.
4:25
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, anywhere across the country. So it's a it's
4:29
Speaker 2: a pretty cool deal and we're we can't wait. We
4:31
Speaker 2: can't wait for August and obviously the season starts, so
4:35
Speaker 2: you know, we can't I can't wait just to see
4:37
Speaker 2: when when this releases. And I remember back when I
4:39
Speaker 2: was in high school, and you know, STL today was
4:42
Speaker 2: the go to place to go check out stats and
4:44
Speaker 2: the websites, and uh, you know, it's it's still really
4:46
Speaker 2: good that they still do a fantastic job with their stats,
4:48
Speaker 2: and but you know, and that was that that was
4:52
Speaker 2: the best available option we had back then. And now
4:54
Speaker 2: just the fact that now you can get all this
4:56
Speaker 2: on your phone and uh, you know, just quick access
4:58
Speaker 2: and then have the to go back and like even
5:01
Speaker 2: like he would type in certain players from a certain
5:03
Speaker 2: sport and go check out their stats.
5:05
Speaker 1: Like that's that's next level stuff. Yeah, yeah, it should
5:09
Speaker 1: be fun.
5:10
Speaker 4: Shall we hop into our season previews?
5:14
Speaker 2: Well for cel Laurence Ceiling, Yes, big difference right there,
5:18
Speaker 2: but yes.
5:19
Speaker 4: Totally comprehensive. Season.
5:20
Speaker 3: Still got a lot of the summer to go before
5:22
Speaker 3: we give our full predictions. Yes, it's a lot of
5:25
Speaker 3: intel gather. Are still some rosters that have to be solidified,
5:29
Speaker 3: so we're gonna wait to give them do our record predictions.
5:32
Speaker 2: But right so this episode, we're gonna be talking about
5:36
Speaker 2: not all of but a good portion of the GAC
5:41
Speaker 2: football schools, which are eight they're eighteen of them. We're
5:44
Speaker 2: not gonna get to all of them, but we're gonna,
5:48
Speaker 2: you know, usually cover the the better, the better teams
5:51
Speaker 2: at least. So having said that, let's start off.
5:54
Speaker 1: With the Fordes North Panthers romans.
6:00
Speaker 2: About that, the Panthers have been just really great. They've
6:05
Speaker 2: been the models of consistency for you know, over a
6:08
Speaker 2: decade now, well over a decade. Joe Bacon head coach there,
6:11
Speaker 2: he has done an incredible job. The Panthers are coming
6:14
Speaker 2: off of district championship. I don't I've lost count of
6:18
Speaker 2: how many they've won in the last it's like since
6:20
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen or thirteen or whatever it was.
6:22
Speaker 4: It might be a ten now, yes, you're an it's
6:25
Speaker 4: it's getting there, some of the double the double digits.
6:29
Speaker 2: Yes, So what we're gonna do, We're gonna just give
6:31
Speaker 2: a brief rundown of all the team schedules here, and
6:34
Speaker 2: we're just gonna say we're gonna kind of give some
6:38
Speaker 2: predictions of how good they can be and maybe like
6:40
Speaker 2: if you know things don't go so well, you know
6:42
Speaker 2: how potentially bad they could be.
6:43
Speaker 1: And that's the four ceiling concept.
6:45
Speaker 2: So week one they host the Pattonville Pirates. Week two
6:51
Speaker 2: as usual, their Week two opponents Francisle Vikings, they host
6:56
Speaker 2: them at f Zeen Stadium.
6:59
Speaker 1: And and week three, uh, according.
7:03
Speaker 2: If this is correct, this is they are hosting Fort
7:05
Speaker 2: Dumont West.
7:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are hosting. They're not hosting.
7:09
Speaker 2: They are traveling across so Found a little westward to.
7:15
Speaker 1: Zumal West to take on the Jaguars.
7:18
Speaker 2: They are back in week four at Zumalt North hosting Timberland.
7:23
Speaker 2: Then week five they will be on the road again
7:29
Speaker 2: to Zumalt South, and then next week in week seven
7:33
Speaker 2: it's at North Point. Week eight is Zumalt East and
7:36
Speaker 2: then Washington and Troy Buchanan to round out the season.
7:41
Speaker 1: That'd be that'd be a great game right there.
7:43
Speaker 3: In week nine it will Yeah, they had I think
7:46
Speaker 3: they had well. Now Timberland is in their division. Now
7:51
Speaker 3: Timberland is in the g C Centrals. A little bit
7:53
Speaker 3: of shuffling with the division of the GAC so last
7:57
Speaker 3: year Timberland was their Week nine out of conference, and
8:00
Speaker 3: now they're in conference. They it looks like they bumped
8:03
Speaker 3: off who they bump off from last year. I'm trying
8:10
Speaker 3: to figure this out.
8:11
Speaker 1: Well, Liberty, I was thinking of Liberty, but they were
8:13
Speaker 1: in the GAC South. Last is Liberty?
8:15
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.
8:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, they did twit. They beat Liberty last year.
8:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Liberty. Liberty was in the central. Last year
8:23
Speaker 3: they were in the South.
8:23
Speaker 1: I think they were not.
8:25
Speaker 3: Okay, the change goes into effect this year. You know,
8:30
Speaker 3: all those Winsville schools getting higher enrollments.
8:32
Speaker 1: I mean the.
8:35
Speaker 4: Liberty is now like a Class six school.
8:36
Speaker 1: I think.
8:37
Speaker 2: I know they're Class six in basketball and they're really
8:40
Speaker 2: close and yeah they are. I think they will be
8:42
Speaker 2: classics and yeah, no, they were classic last year. Yeah,
8:45
Speaker 2: because so was Zooma West and yeah in that Class
8:49
Speaker 2: four classics district for district, so.
8:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, other than the St.
8:52
Speaker 3: Louis, this is one of the toughest three games starts
8:54
Speaker 3: for a public school really in the state.
8:56
Speaker 4: I mean, you got Pattonville, who made the Final.
8:57
Speaker 3: Four last year, Frances Howe, who didn't have the best
9:01
Speaker 3: of seasons, last year, but it is still a very
9:02
Speaker 3: solid team.
9:03
Speaker 2: I expect them to be better this year, and I
9:05
Speaker 2: expect pat Will to be better.
9:06
Speaker 3: And then then Zimill West, who was a quarter finalist
9:10
Speaker 3: last year in Class six.
9:11
Speaker 4: No class five, Class six, oh yeah, class six.
9:14
Speaker 2: Excuse me, we're we're dusting off the cop webs right now.
9:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, but still three three excellent teams are gonna play
9:20
Speaker 3: in the first three weeks of the season, and then
9:22
Speaker 3: they get into the conference play with you know, as
9:24
Speaker 3: you said, Tim wins Will and sophomore points and all
9:26
Speaker 3: these in Washington and.
9:27
Speaker 4: Then Troy to end the year.
9:29
Speaker 3: You know, Troy had also had an excellent season last year.
9:33
Speaker 3: I think they finished at what nine to three, losing
9:37
Speaker 3: a thrilling game.
9:38
Speaker 4: The Zimo West and be twelve.
9:40
Speaker 3: Yes, but yeah for Zamont North, I mean, they bring
9:44
Speaker 3: back Jaden Burls and hopefully he can stay healthy and
9:47
Speaker 3: play the entire season.
9:48
Speaker 2: Cam Sherman as well, so that there are two probably
9:51
Speaker 2: the two best offensive weapons. They graduate Philip Parposse, so
9:55
Speaker 2: they will have to find a new quarterback.
9:57
Speaker 3: They're usually pretty good at on a QB that doesn't
10:01
Speaker 3: have to do too much.
10:04
Speaker 4: I mean, with that offensive system they have.
10:05
Speaker 3: They don't really need to find a guy who can
10:08
Speaker 3: just light it up in the air. They'll just run
10:10
Speaker 3: the ball forty five times a game.
10:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, and as long as they have a quarterback who
10:13
Speaker 2: can run somewhat mm hmm.
10:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:16
Speaker 2: The defense, I would say the strength of the team
10:18
Speaker 2: is their defense. They return a lot of guys, including
10:20
Speaker 2: Nathan Howard, who was a I think he was he
10:22
Speaker 2: was All State last year. Yeah, as a linebacker, I believe.
10:28
Speaker 2: And so I I mean they return a decent portion
10:31
Speaker 2: of their guys on defense. There they do lose a
10:34
Speaker 2: lot on offense, although they did return Burleson and Sherman,
10:37
Speaker 2: who are, like I said, probably their two key guys.
10:40
Speaker 2: So if you if you're going to lose a lot,
10:42
Speaker 2: but you can return a few guys, it's those guys.
10:45
Speaker 1: So I have a prediction. I would say a seven
10:48
Speaker 1: and two ceiling and a five and four floor I got.
10:52
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with an eight and one ceiling
10:54
Speaker 3: and a six and three floor. I five and four
10:58
Speaker 3: would be that there's I don't see that happen. Well,
11:01
Speaker 3: it was the potential because that would have to because
11:03
Speaker 3: if you if a five and fourth floor would mean
11:06
Speaker 3: I would lose their out of conference games and win
11:08
Speaker 3: all their in conference games.
11:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what that's what I'm thinking. I mean, I think, well,
11:11
Speaker 2: here I see it. I think those are all those
11:15
Speaker 2: Pattonville House, how Pattonville Friends, How's, Umot West, and Troy.
11:20
Speaker 2: I think I can see those as all being potential losses.
11:22
Speaker 2: So there's that's my logic right there. And then yeah,
11:26
Speaker 2: I mean I could be persuaded. I said seven and
11:28
Speaker 2: two ceiling. Yeah, I think they lose one of those
11:33
Speaker 2: first three games, and then I think they lose to
11:35
Speaker 2: Troy in week nine.
11:37
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a very good team.
11:38
Speaker 3: I just still think there's some questions in the offensive
11:41
Speaker 3: line that we're not gonna have answers to yet until
11:44
Speaker 3: at least.
11:44
Speaker 2: Jamboree week because I think zoom on the wars, I
11:48
Speaker 2: mean defense, They're gonna have their hands full in their
11:50
Speaker 2: first three weeks defensively because those are all like Pattville's.
11:54
Speaker 2: They got a pretty good I got a lot of
11:55
Speaker 2: production and offense coming back, and Howe's got the majority
11:58
Speaker 2: of their offensive production coming back. Then yeah, Zuomo West,
12:01
Speaker 2: I expect them to win that game, but I don't
12:03
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be Zuomo West loses a ton, but
12:05
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be as bad as what
12:06
Speaker 2: some people think they're gonna be. So that's that's my rationale.
12:10
Speaker 2: And then you know North they dominate the g a C.
12:13
Speaker 1: Central.
12:14
Speaker 2: They've been running that conference for years, and uh, you know,
12:17
Speaker 2: I you know by then, I think they're gonna be
12:19
Speaker 2: doing fine. And there's nothing that nothing that really shouts
12:23
Speaker 2: anything special about that conference this season.
12:26
Speaker 3: So all right, should we stay in Central or should
12:29
Speaker 3: we head over to the South And.
12:32
Speaker 4: We'll talk about one of the South teams?
12:33
Speaker 1: What do you got queued up over there?
12:37
Speaker 4: We can go to Troy.
12:37
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Troy. Troy.
12:40
Speaker 4: They got a very interesting schedule this year. Week one,
12:42
Speaker 4: the Troy hosts Eureka.
12:44
Speaker 3: We two, they're at o Fallon Week three, they host
12:47
Speaker 3: Hannibal and they get into their conference slate in week
12:49
Speaker 3: four at.
12:50
Speaker 4: France South Central.
12:51
Speaker 3: Weeks five and stick they're at home and gets Zimoth
12:53
Speaker 3: West and France Hall North. Week seven there on the
12:56
Speaker 3: road at Francis Howl. They end conference play by hosting
13:00
Speaker 3: Liberty and the week nine atsim Walt North. Yeah, so
13:04
Speaker 3: like Zimalt North, there they're not dodged in any smoke
13:06
Speaker 3: in the out of conference schedule.
13:07
Speaker 4: I mean they played each other in.
13:08
Speaker 3: Week nine and then yet two excellent Missouri public school
13:12
Speaker 3: programs in Eureka and Hannibal, and then O'Fallon, who has
13:16
Speaker 3: been struggling.
13:17
Speaker 4: But do we think o'fallon's gonna get any better this year?
13:21
Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're not having a rough go over
13:22
Speaker 3: the past few years since COVID.
13:24
Speaker 1: Really yeah, not really.
13:26
Speaker 2: I don't see a big I don't envision a big
13:28
Speaker 2: jump for them, but uh yeah, Patroian O'Fallon, they've been
13:32
Speaker 2: playing every year since twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two.
13:36
Speaker 2: I should say, yeah, And I think that's a win
13:41
Speaker 2: for Troy there.
13:42
Speaker 1: And I think I think the ceiling for them is.
13:45
Speaker 2: Eight and one and the floor of I would say
13:49
Speaker 2: six and three because they I mean the eight and
13:54
Speaker 2: one right there. That they just have a really good
13:57
Speaker 2: program going right now. My big war he's like, how
14:00
Speaker 2: they for them is like how they gonna replace carterdal
14:02
Speaker 2: at running back. Chris Winder was also really good running
14:06
Speaker 2: back too. Yeah, So I mean if they would have
14:09
Speaker 2: brought Winder back, I'd be pretty confident for them. But
14:14
Speaker 2: they do have Carter Schaeffer, who's a who was a
14:16
Speaker 2: really solid quarterback for them.
14:17
Speaker 1: He's a junior this year.
14:19
Speaker 4: He stepp did well last year injury. Humphrey.
14:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, he showed great pocket discipline, made some great throws.
14:26
Speaker 2: And he's more of a pocket quarterback too. He's like
14:29
Speaker 2: six y three and he's got he's got I like
14:31
Speaker 2: his pocket presence. He's not He's not a runner though,
14:34
Speaker 2: like Humphrey.
14:35
Speaker 1: So I think they're.
14:35
Speaker 2: Gonna maybe have some maybe put some tweaks in their
14:39
Speaker 2: offense a little bit. I don't know, but he certainly
14:42
Speaker 2: can throw the ball well. And Troy they usually these
14:47
Speaker 2: last handful of years, they've shown that they they were
14:49
Speaker 2: able to produce enough athletes to be decent receivers and
14:54
Speaker 2: you know, keep defenses honest to you know, run the ball.
14:58
Speaker 2: But you know, but expect their defense to still be decent,
15:02
Speaker 2: you know, because they lost talent Rowland, who was their
15:04
Speaker 2: all time leading tackler. But they're just they're gonna have
15:07
Speaker 2: guys they're gonna be ready to step up. I mean,
15:09
Speaker 2: they have so many guys in their system.
15:10
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, they given given how big their roster
15:14
Speaker 3: is and how much they do, especially in the weight room.
15:17
Speaker 3: I'm comfortable to have a good amount of guys on
15:19
Speaker 3: defense ready to go, especially in.
15:21
Speaker 4: The front seven.
15:21
Speaker 2: So but look at Troy right now, like we're talking
15:23
Speaker 2: about them like their Kirkwood and Eureka in a way,
15:25
Speaker 2: but it's like like we don't really know like how
15:27
Speaker 2: good they're gonna be, Like you know, how many like
15:29
Speaker 2: who their star players are, but we're just giving them
15:32
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt.
15:33
Speaker 3: Which is funny because it's the team that never won
15:35
Speaker 3: a playoff game until seven years ago.
15:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now now they're they're a threat.
15:40
Speaker 1: They really are.
15:41
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not a threat to win state every year,
15:42
Speaker 3: but their threat is in to pick up a win
15:46
Speaker 3: in the playoffs post district championship week for sure.
15:49
Speaker 4: Yes, so yeah, it should be a good season for
15:51
Speaker 4: coach Biggers and their churches.
15:52
Speaker 2: Again, I think what's what's big for them is that
15:55
Speaker 2: they're hosting Eureka and Hannibal. Those are their first to
15:58
Speaker 2: their first three games. Those are gonna be of their
16:00
Speaker 2: tougher games and what's what's kind of an advantage there
16:03
Speaker 2: as they're hosting them, and that that game against Eureka.
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to seeing how that one goes.
16:08
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's gonna be a probably a top
16:10
Speaker 2: five game of the week to open up a season.
16:13
Speaker 4: For sure, Yeah, for sure.
16:16
Speaker 2: So and then obviously they always have a big game
16:20
Speaker 2: with Ransayle. That's gonna be a road game for them,
16:23
Speaker 2: and they also they later host Zumot West, who they've
16:27
Speaker 2: they've done a really good job against these last few years.
16:30
Speaker 2: When you know, Zooma West, they've been pretty good the
16:32
Speaker 2: last handful of years.
16:33
Speaker 1: But well, last year's West was Troy, Yes, yes.
16:37
Speaker 2: It was they were they were Yeah, so again I'm
16:41
Speaker 2: my memory was not so good right there, but uh.
16:43
Speaker 3: Well, they've been going back and forth past they have
16:46
Speaker 3: been in The dynamic between zimal.
16:47
Speaker 4: West, Francis Hollow and Troy has been very interesting to see.
16:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, several years. It has been you know, like fifteen
16:53
Speaker 1: years ago where Zoomal West.
16:54
Speaker 2: Was as a program under Paul Day and now where
16:57
Speaker 2: Troy is and uh, you know, hopefully both teams can
17:00
Speaker 2: continue to be at those levels and you know, you
17:03
Speaker 2: know what coach Pike is not. I mean, we're gonna
17:05
Speaker 2: we'll talk about Zimo West pretty shortly here, but you
17:07
Speaker 2: know what coach Pike has done to get the Jaguars
17:10
Speaker 2: like to a semi finals several years ago now and
17:12
Speaker 2: then back into the contention right there.
17:14
Speaker 1: It's been fantastic. Yeah.
17:16
Speaker 2: So I just think I don't know who they're gonna
17:18
Speaker 2: lose to. I mean, like Troy could lose the Eureka Hannibal,
17:22
Speaker 2: you know, West, Zoomo West and Francis Howe and feasibly
17:26
Speaker 2: Zumote North. But I think best case scenario they go
17:30
Speaker 2: eight to one. I don't know who they lose to,
17:31
Speaker 2: but I just think I just think they'll drop a
17:33
Speaker 2: game at some point and then probably you know, we
17:38
Speaker 2: could get this really wrong, but uh, you know, I
17:41
Speaker 2: could see potential four losses, but realistically, I think their
17:44
Speaker 2: their floor is six and three.
17:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I got on them. Did you got anything?
17:48
Speaker 1: I'll go with that, Okay, all right?
17:51
Speaker 3: Speakers of them all West mine as well, go to
17:53
Speaker 3: them coming off a really solid nine and four season
17:56
Speaker 3: district championship season.
17:59
Speaker 4: Weird year for West last year. They had some some stinker.
18:02
Speaker 3: Games, but also some you know, program defining games, especially
18:06
Speaker 3: that thirty four to thirty one overtime win.
18:09
Speaker 4: Against Troy with the walk off field goal. That was
18:12
Speaker 4: a crazy game.
18:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great year for them.
18:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, they lose some key guys like Clayton O'Brien, Garreck Dixon,
18:21
Speaker 3: but they lost a ton. Yeah, they do lose a
18:23
Speaker 3: good bet, but I'm confident coach Pike and then can reload. Well,
18:29
Speaker 3: they've been doing pretty good that the past few years.
18:32
Speaker 3: And I might as well talk about their schedule right now.
18:34
Speaker 4: So it's in well West.
18:36
Speaker 3: They start the year on the road against Hickman and
18:38
Speaker 3: then uh interesting. Week two they host Union, that's kind
18:43
Speaker 3: of an interesting matchup. Week three they hosted multon North
18:46
Speaker 3: bab Ol FOLLONIK. Four they host Francis Howell. Big Five
18:50
Speaker 3: are at Troy the sixth at Liberty.
18:52
Speaker 4: Week seven they host France Hall in North and eight and.
18:55
Speaker 3: Down their back on the road at France House Central
18:57
Speaker 3: and then at Hannibal. So they got their three biggest
19:01
Speaker 3: rivalries slash the biggest games of the year back to
19:05
Speaker 3: back to back. Weeks three, four, Five's and Waltmore France
19:08
Speaker 3: sallin Troy, so.
19:09
Speaker 4: That'll be a tough liest stretch.
19:11
Speaker 3: Hickman could be interesting because Hickman's they were good last year.
19:14
Speaker 3: Hickman's gotten better. I mean Hickman's did. Did Hickman beat
19:20
Speaker 3: rock Bridge last year? I did, didn't Hickman?
19:22
Speaker 4: Am I getting up?
19:22
Speaker 1: Yes they did?
19:23
Speaker 4: I think I think for the first time in a while.
19:26
Speaker 1: Hickman, I believe they did.
19:27
Speaker 4: Yes, they'd Yeah, they've been in thirteen ten.
19:29
Speaker 1: Yes.
19:30
Speaker 3: Last year, for the first time in a while, Hickman
19:32
Speaker 3: won back Columbia. Yes, craz Yeah, and actually had a
19:37
Speaker 3: really close lost for a good Hawaiis team to playoffs.
19:40
Speaker 2: Their head coach was the head coach that got Battle
19:43
Speaker 2: started and then won state in twenty fourteen.
19:45
Speaker 4: That's right.
19:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he and he's a Hickman alum too, So yeah,
19:50
Speaker 2: he's been Uh, he's been good wherever he's gone.
19:52
Speaker 1: So yeah, that Union game is really random in week two.
19:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of out of left few Illta do
20:00
Speaker 3: not expect those two. That's probably one of those games
20:02
Speaker 3: or West just hold up because last year they had
20:08
Speaker 3: bubble West in Week two and now with Illinois shuffling
20:10
Speaker 3: their schedules around, I guess that kind of had to
20:13
Speaker 3: get undone.
20:15
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know though, the
20:18
Speaker 1: celeties behind that, so could be right.
20:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I see this a tough schedule though,
20:23
Speaker 3: I mean you out of conference, you got the two
20:25
Speaker 3: tough games with zum Moltmorth and Hannibal, and then Hickman's
20:27
Speaker 3: also a really solid team.
20:29
Speaker 4: So if you if you give me this schedule, you know,
20:32
Speaker 4: a while ago it's like, go, okay, not too bad
20:34
Speaker 4: because you know.
20:37
Speaker 3: Union and Hickman whatever, but those are no longer whatever games, right,
20:42
Speaker 3: So for sim Oll West, I would put it.
20:45
Speaker 1: I'll go with.
20:49
Speaker 3: I'll go the seven and two ceiling. If four, no,
20:53
Speaker 3: I can't go four and five floor.
20:56
Speaker 4: I mean, Hickman, they are good teams, Old North fran Sila.
20:59
Speaker 1: Troy, Animal's a tough schedule.
21:00
Speaker 3: It might be a four and five floor, which I
21:02
Speaker 3: hate saying, but that's and again floors worst case scenario.
21:05
Speaker 4: It is Flor's worst cacenario that.
21:07
Speaker 3: Will likely not happen, but there's a there's a possibility
21:10
Speaker 3: in case, you know, God God forbid some rough things after.
21:14
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean but we can't. We don't know
21:16
Speaker 1: that by now.
21:16
Speaker 2: But I'm going with a six and three ceiling and
21:19
Speaker 2: a four and five floor. And yeah, I just they
21:24
Speaker 2: lost a lot of guys, but I think they got
21:25
Speaker 2: a good program culture there. And I'll say this, Jordan Rasmussen,
21:29
Speaker 2: he's a quarterback. He's a six sixth senior quarterback. He's
21:32
Speaker 2: gotten a lot of attention this offseason and he's they
21:36
Speaker 2: really like him, and so that's good. I mean if
21:41
Speaker 2: he is as good as they say is, and that's
21:42
Speaker 2: that means they you know, they have a pretty capable quarterback,
21:46
Speaker 2: and that's that's big. I mean, if you've got a
21:48
Speaker 2: good quarterback, then that can you know, influence a lot
21:50
Speaker 2: of you know, out you know games in their favor there.
21:53
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean they're pretty well coached on defense,
21:59
Speaker 2: so I mean had some dogs on defense last year though,
22:01
Speaker 2: so some guys I just don't I just don't know
22:03
Speaker 2: how they're going to replace some of them but.
22:05
Speaker 4: Lose their defense that curried them most of the way
22:07
Speaker 4: last year.
22:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like the Dixon brothers were both really
22:11
Speaker 2: good there, and then they graduated almost all their linebackers
22:16
Speaker 2: and they have a few, like maybe one or two
22:20
Speaker 2: good like starters coming back on defense for them.
22:22
Speaker 1: But yeah, like I said, they lost a lot.
22:25
Speaker 2: So yeah, six and three, honestly, that that could be
22:28
Speaker 2: a really generous ceiling because on paper, this does not
22:32
Speaker 2: scream like this is gonna be a great team because
22:34
Speaker 2: they lost a lot. But yeah, I think six and
22:38
Speaker 2: three ceiling, four and five floor. Yeah, I mean that's
22:42
Speaker 2: schedule probably tougher than it looks. And yeah, there's a
22:46
Speaker 2: lot of games that could easily go against them.
22:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a logic sticking in.
22:51
Speaker 3: The South, let's head over to high We got you
22:53
Speaker 3: four with the Francis Vikings.
22:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we won, Oh, found township again. Another they're
23:00
Speaker 2: playing another GAC team. That's that'll be at hell Stadium,
23:03
Speaker 2: and then week two is Zoomont North. Uh, this is
23:07
Speaker 2: a really interesting game right here. Week three against Saint
23:10
Speaker 2: Pius X from Festus.
23:13
Speaker 3: That is so I love to know if they had
23:16
Speaker 3: that schedule when they scheduled that.
23:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that's so rand, that's so random. I love it.
23:23
Speaker 4: That's so crazy.
23:24
Speaker 2: A class two raw enrollment private school. It will be
23:28
Speaker 2: in class three because of the success factory, but.
23:30
Speaker 5: We still that's just yeah, it's it's a week four
23:34
Speaker 5: at Zumot West, Week five hosts Liberty, Week six at
23:39
Speaker 5: France South Central, Week seven at the.
23:42
Speaker 2: Hosting Troy, and then week eight at Hall North, France
23:46
Speaker 2: Soell and North.
23:47
Speaker 1: And then Week nine at Shamanad.
23:50
Speaker 2: This schedule is this This is not a typical Francis
23:54
Speaker 2: House schedule.
23:55
Speaker 4: No, it's not last year frances how pretty much.
24:00
Speaker 3: I mean, they had Gelen Bowers who had an unbelievable season,
24:02
Speaker 3: but he was pretty much all they had on offense.
24:05
Speaker 1: They got a little bit better late in the season.
24:07
Speaker 2: I actually liked what they were doing on offense against
24:09
Speaker 2: Troy when they they played Troy in the playoffs and lost,
24:13
Speaker 2: But I thought like their passing game showed a lot
24:15
Speaker 2: of promise and they have their have their They returned
24:18
Speaker 2: their quarterback, well.
24:19
Speaker 3: They returned to Derek Schupp, and I think they returned
24:22
Speaker 3: a four linemen.
24:23
Speaker 1: They returned a good amount.
24:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, the majority turns their offensive line.
24:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:27
Speaker 2: And then they returned their best receiver, Shakespecert, So that's
24:30
Speaker 2: a they It seems like they finally have a season
24:34
Speaker 2: where they return a decent amount of starters, because like
24:36
Speaker 2: the last handful of years, they always would be below
24:40
Speaker 2: like eleven returning starters and it was just tough for
24:42
Speaker 2: them to recoup. But now that you know they're gonna
24:45
Speaker 2: get another year out of out of chop and you
24:50
Speaker 2: know more more another year out of the most of
24:52
Speaker 2: their linemen and their defenses, they returned about half their starters.
24:57
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I think there's cause for you know,
25:00
Speaker 2: good cause for optimism here for how for Francis how
25:02
Speaker 2: I think they can I think they can be pretty good.
25:06
Speaker 2: I mean, this is definitely it is a far cry
25:09
Speaker 2: from the quality of schedules that they've been pumping out
25:12
Speaker 2: like year after year like for the last three, three
25:14
Speaker 2: or four years or so. It's and it's probably about
25:18
Speaker 2: time as well, because it's that probably hurt them, like
25:20
Speaker 2: having some like the strength of schedules they had that
25:22
Speaker 2: probably they just didn't really have the team to you know,
25:24
Speaker 2: win a lot of games against those teams they played against.
25:27
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean we got to come out and
25:31
Speaker 2: say this is not a very this is not a
25:32
Speaker 2: very tough schedule.
25:33
Speaker 1: It is. It is not. But having said that, I
25:37
Speaker 1: think there's they have a.
25:40
Speaker 2: Pretty good opportunity here and I think this is a
25:41
Speaker 2: better team that they've had the last few years. So
25:43
Speaker 2: I have an eight to one ceiling for them, and
25:48
Speaker 2: I'll go with a let's see, I think that's a
25:55
Speaker 2: six and three four. So I think this is it'll
25:58
Speaker 2: be a decent season for them, doesn't say, I mean,
26:02
Speaker 2: but also it will depend like if they can, you know,
26:05
Speaker 2: like if they can beat Zumalton North by multiple touchdowns,
26:07
Speaker 2: like that'll say a lot about how right there, and
26:10
Speaker 2: then maybe you know, you'll they'll get a little bit
26:12
Speaker 2: more of the benefit of the doubt, you know, compared
26:14
Speaker 2: to like who they're playing against on their schedules.
26:16
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I'm being I'm being pretty kind
26:20
Speaker 1: to them here.
26:21
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, that's so funny.
26:25
Speaker 4: Just sink Sanapiez sounds on their schedule.
26:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, so funny.
26:30
Speaker 3: What is what is this messing with the kickoff times here?
26:32
Speaker 3: And how we got six thirty pm Week one, seven
26:35
Speaker 3: pm week two?
26:39
Speaker 4: Wait a second, this is eight days between? Are they
26:41
Speaker 4: playing on Thursday?
26:44
Speaker 1: No?
26:44
Speaker 4: I think is September third, Thursday? Please don't be a Thursday.
26:49
Speaker 4: Well I guess if it is, I can go to
26:50
Speaker 4: the game. So yeah, that's a Thursday.
26:52
Speaker 1: I think I'll be able to go there too.
26:53
Speaker 2: Then yeah, I'll be all over I'm gonna be all
26:56
Speaker 2: over the Midwest, but I think I'll be able to get.
26:57
Speaker 1: To that game.
26:58
Speaker 4: So yeah, they ah, yeah, we'll make it.
27:02
Speaker 1: We'll make it.
27:02
Speaker 3: A thing A found on a Friday. Week one at
27:04
Speaker 3: six three pm on a Thursday and week two at
27:08
Speaker 3: seven pm.
27:08
Speaker 1: How about that.
27:09
Speaker 4: I didn't even notice. I'm looking at North schedule. I
27:11
Speaker 4: guess I should have.
27:12
Speaker 1: That's great.
27:12
Speaker 2: It's fantastic for schedule for media scheduling purposes, it is,
27:18
Speaker 2: Oh for sure it is.
27:19
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah it's a Thursday. It'll be a that's
27:24
Speaker 4: so annoying.
27:25
Speaker 1: It'll be a great YouTube video.
27:26
Speaker 4: Oh we need more refs, We need more refs. This
27:29
Speaker 4: is so annoying.
27:30
Speaker 1: It is.
27:31
Speaker 2: All right, so eight, I'm going eight to one, ceiling
27:34
Speaker 2: six and three flour.
27:36
Speaker 1: All right, what about you? I concur okay cool?
27:42
Speaker 4: Any teams in the South to go over?
27:44
Speaker 3: I mean Liberty, Yeah, new members of the GC South
27:49
Speaker 3: Liberty Eagles.
27:50
Speaker 1: I got their schedule up here. Week one. I don't
27:53
Speaker 1: have the graphic that I was given.
27:57
Speaker 4: They have it on missh It's easy to read here.
27:59
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
28:01
Speaker 4: Week one at Cape Central. That should be interesting. Big two.
28:04
Speaker 3: They host Lafayette, Week three at Timberland. At BEK four,
28:07
Speaker 3: they host Howell North Week five at Francis Howell. Week
28:11
Speaker 3: six and seven a back at home against them all
28:13
Speaker 3: Western France South Central expectively week eight to wrap up
28:17
Speaker 3: conference play there at Troy, and then week nine they
28:19
Speaker 3: host Zumwalt South.
28:23
Speaker 1: So, I I.
28:25
Speaker 2: Don't know how good Cape Central is gonna be. They're
28:27
Speaker 2: usually all right that gain, so I think that game
28:29
Speaker 2: could go either way.
28:30
Speaker 4: I like, I think Cap Central's coming off a solid
28:33
Speaker 4: eight and four season.
28:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know they've been a pretty decent prog
28:38
Speaker 3: in the past. Well, funny enough, last year Cape Central
28:40
Speaker 3: beat Lyft for Life. I don't remember that back in
28:42
Speaker 3: the week eighty Lift for Life seventeen sixteen.
28:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was a rain that was like, like, whoa,
28:47
Speaker 2: what does that say about Lift for Life? Yeah, I know, Liberty,
28:51
Speaker 2: they lost a lot of starters, especially on offense. Like
28:54
Speaker 2: I just I don't know how they're gonna replace Jalen
28:56
Speaker 2: Mackett running back.
28:57
Speaker 1: He is he's probably the best individual athlete they've ever had. Yeah, yeah,
29:03
Speaker 1: I mean they've not.
29:04
Speaker 2: Been a school for very long, but in the like
29:09
Speaker 2: what twelve thirteen seasons they've had a program. I think
29:11
Speaker 2: Jalen macat is easy. He's easily the best player I
29:14
Speaker 2: think offensively they've ever.
29:15
Speaker 3: Had, for sure, in twenty six touchdowns last year, which
29:19
Speaker 3: was a team record.
29:20
Speaker 2: So yes, Timberland, Howe, North Francis, how Is what West.
29:27
Speaker 1: It's a it's a.
29:28
Speaker 2: Tough schedule for them, especially with the amount of guys
29:31
Speaker 2: they lost.
29:32
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be all right at quarterback, but
29:35
Speaker 1: it's just.
29:36
Speaker 2: I just think there's a lot of unknowns for them
29:38
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, they play Lafayette, who lost a
29:42
Speaker 2: lot of stars. But Lafayette I really like they're really
29:45
Speaker 2: well coached and like they're always going to.
29:47
Speaker 1: Have some talent there.
29:51
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna try to look on the positive sides here,
29:54
Speaker 2: see what can happen.
29:56
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll go with a five and four seas.
30:00
Speaker 2: And a three and six four. I just think there's
30:06
Speaker 2: a lot of unknowns. Like I could see them losing
30:08
Speaker 2: the like I could see them going zero and two.
30:11
Speaker 2: I could like I could see them.
30:13
Speaker 1: Starting out like one and four, and then I don't.
30:15
Speaker 2: Think they beat Troy, So I'll say, yeah, I mean,
30:20
Speaker 2: and then there's a few other games.
30:22
Speaker 3: One thing I have to do is there's some question
30:23
Speaker 3: mark with Cape Central, even with Timberland, especially new coach
30:26
Speaker 3: Arlen Harris.
30:27
Speaker 4: At Timberland, well.
30:27
Speaker 1: This is his second year. Now that's right, that's right.
30:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, well still, I mean.
30:34
Speaker 3: A lot a lot of question marks, not just for liberty,
30:36
Speaker 3: but if the teams are playing as well.
30:38
Speaker 1: True. But yeah, so.
30:41
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna be a little kinder, I could say
30:43
Speaker 2: like four and five floor, but I just think there's
30:48
Speaker 2: like Cape Central that they have been good, Lafayette's been
30:50
Speaker 2: extremely good. They lose a lot of guys, but I'm
30:53
Speaker 2: confident they'll they'll still be fine.
30:55
Speaker 1: Like Timberland they did. They did lose Tristan.
30:58
Speaker 2: Moss to Live for Life, but they did uh, they
31:00
Speaker 2: did gain Tavern Williams from north point of kind of.
31:05
Speaker 1: Ironica that shaped out.
31:09
Speaker 2: But yeah, like I like how and Zumot West and Troy,
31:12
Speaker 2: Like I just don't see them beating those three teams
31:14
Speaker 2: right there.
31:15
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm gonna go with.
31:17
Speaker 2: I'll go with five and four, five and four ceiling
31:19
Speaker 2: and the three and six floor.
31:22
Speaker 3: All right, I'll go with five and four ceiling, three
31:27
Speaker 3: and sixth floor.
31:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, thanks, we agree?
31:29
Speaker 1: All right?
31:29
Speaker 2: I got how Central right here, Week one Northwest. That's
31:35
Speaker 2: a that's at home at Hazewood Central at at Zimont South,
31:40
Speaker 2: hosting Troy at Franciscle North hosting Francis hal at Liberty
31:45
Speaker 2: hosting Zumwalt West at and at Timberland And uh, I
31:52
Speaker 2: think that's yes, that Northwest game Week one, that's gonna
31:57
Speaker 2: be tough. Northwest is pretty excited about their seasons, the
32:01
Speaker 2: prospects of their season.
32:02
Speaker 4: Cohen Star coming back.
32:04
Speaker 3: Yes, it's massive, best best player in their school's history.
32:08
Speaker 1: I think.
32:08
Speaker 2: So I did hear one guy. Well, it's just a
32:11
Speaker 2: player obviously, and it's just kids, but they think they'll
32:14
Speaker 2: go nine to.
32:15
Speaker 3: No Northwest Northwest players of this were franceuse.
32:21
Speaker 1: One guy from Northwest. But they're kids, you know, they're excited.
32:25
Speaker 1: They're excited guys.
32:26
Speaker 4: They should be.
32:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're excited. Shoot for the stars.
32:29
Speaker 2: And he's Withood Central probably should be a win. It's
32:33
Speaker 2: Amos South. I think that's a win Joy. That's gonna
32:35
Speaker 2: be really tough at all North. So I think they
32:39
Speaker 2: can start out three and two here Francis Howe, I
32:43
Speaker 2: just until Central beat Hell. You just gotta go with
32:46
Speaker 2: Francis Hell at Liberty. I think that's a game that's
32:50
Speaker 2: WINNA Bowl Zoomo West probably not, but Winnabowl. Then at
32:54
Speaker 2: Timberlind So I think and I'll be a little generous
32:58
Speaker 2: right here too. I will say a six and three
33:01
Speaker 2: ceiling and about like a four and five floor.
33:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they should be a solid team. You
33:08
Speaker 3: know one once heard of Jack Brown. They're great tight
33:11
Speaker 3: end for a house. We also got some good athletes
33:12
Speaker 3: like Jackson Charcher and Kidding Rowell.
33:15
Speaker 4: I think it's pronounced really well. Okay, Yeah, I think
33:19
Speaker 4: got some good athletes there to the house.
33:20
Speaker 3: Central definitely a stingy team that a lot of times
33:25
Speaker 3: just kind of.
33:27
Speaker 4: Just can't get out of their own way.
33:28
Speaker 3: Like they got good athletes, but sometimes the moment, could
33:32
Speaker 3: you get too big for him? Like they have the
33:35
Speaker 3: ability to break the streak and beat France out.
33:38
Speaker 4: I think they really do.
33:39
Speaker 3: It's it's a possibility, but like you said, until it happens,
33:42
Speaker 3: we can't really predict.
33:43
Speaker 1: It, right, It's just it's been too long.
33:46
Speaker 2: It's like it's like predicting for like Belle Least to
33:48
Speaker 2: beat Edwardsville just until it happens.
33:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, until it happens, you can't really.
33:54
Speaker 4: They went to boad overtime last year.
33:55
Speaker 2: No, they it was sorry to go off subjects a
33:59
Speaker 2: little bit, but it was I think Bobo West had
34:01
Speaker 2: a like they actually were down and came back and
34:05
Speaker 2: took the lead with fifty seconds to go, and then
34:07
Speaker 2: Edwards will like went downfield in forty seconds and scored
34:10
Speaker 2: on like a twenty five yard touchdown pass.
34:12
Speaker 4: That's right.
34:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, Now I'll go to six and three season on
34:15
Speaker 6: a three and sixth floor. Yeah, Central, he's to go
34:18
Speaker 6: three and six. I mean that, I thought lot, I
34:20
Speaker 6: mean ammediately. I thought last year was a disappointing season
34:22
Speaker 6: for help Central. I really thought they were gonna do
34:24
Speaker 6: better than what they did. But I'm gonna be a
34:26
Speaker 6: little positive here. I think they will.
34:29
Speaker 1: I think they I will say I think they'd be
34:32
Speaker 1: made one of.
34:33
Speaker 2: Northwesterns ZUMO West not probably not both, but I think
34:36
Speaker 2: they get one of those games, just to be a
34:38
Speaker 2: little optimistic for them.
34:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, shall we head back to the Central.
34:47
Speaker 1: I had Washington schedule somewhere.
34:50
Speaker 4: I gotta pulled up right now.
34:51
Speaker 1: Okay.
34:52
Speaker 3: Week one, so the Washington Blue Jays Week one at Union.
34:56
Speaker 3: Week two their home as Warrington, Week three, their home
34:59
Speaker 3: as Borge. The Battle of Washington's back.
35:01
Speaker 1: Let's go yes.
35:03
Speaker 3: Week four to start conference play, they host Zumal South.
35:06
Speaker 3: That's their home coming game. Week five or at Zamol East.
35:10
Speaker 3: Week six, they host Timberland. Week seven, they're at North Point.
35:13
Speaker 3: Week eight they wrap up conference played by hosting Smalt
35:15
Speaker 3: North and we Can nine are at Holt.
35:17
Speaker 4: I'm so glad they're playing Borgia and that is so sick.
35:21
Speaker 3: I don't I they almost never played in football, which
35:25
Speaker 3: is a darn shame.
35:27
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a great city rivalry, Yeah, it absolutely is.
35:34
Speaker 2: I don't I admittedly do not know a whole lot
35:36
Speaker 2: about Washington, but I do, like, I think they're gonna
35:38
Speaker 2: have a better offensive scheme this season.
35:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you finished the regular season three and six last year.
35:45
Speaker 3: They couldn't quite get their running attack going. I think
35:50
Speaker 3: that was mainly due to just having a pretty inexperienced
35:55
Speaker 3: offensive line. Yeah, but I'm gonna try and pull their
35:59
Speaker 3: huddle and see if I can.
36:01
Speaker 2: I think they'll start out four and one, which sounds
36:05
Speaker 2: kind of lofty, but then you look at like, I
36:07
Speaker 2: think they'll beat Union because Union has just not been
36:09
Speaker 2: the same since.
36:10
Speaker 1: Leam Hughes graduated at quarterback.
36:12
Speaker 4: I mean they went, they went six and five last year.
36:14
Speaker 4: They were a solid team.
36:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just the standard's kind of gone down though.
36:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they were they were legitimately like a top
36:21
Speaker 2: ten small school in the.
36:22
Speaker 1: Area, like a few years ago Warrington.
36:25
Speaker 2: Who knows, we might get into them later, But like
36:29
Speaker 2: I think Washington beats Borgia, and I think they beat
36:32
Speaker 2: Zumalt South and Zumalt East.
36:36
Speaker 1: I mean Timberland is one of I mean they could
36:38
Speaker 1: easily lose the Timberland in north Port.
36:40
Speaker 2: I don't see them being Zumalt North. And then I
36:43
Speaker 2: think Holt's gonna be a little bit better. So like
36:45
Speaker 2: I could see I could see Washington going six and three.
36:49
Speaker 2: I'll say six and three and a four and five floor.
36:51
Speaker 4: I'll go with a five and four snowing and three
36:52
Speaker 4: and six four.
36:53
Speaker 1: Okay, now you're the you're the harsher one.
36:56
Speaker 4: Now all right, it has to happen.
36:59
Speaker 1: Now, that's good. We need we need variety like that.
37:01
Speaker 2: But yeah, just kind of a little bit more of
37:04
Speaker 2: an unknown team. But they're well coached, and yeah, they've
37:09
Speaker 2: been through, you know, twenty twenty five. They're coming off
37:13
Speaker 2: of a really a solid twenty twenty four season. So
37:15
Speaker 2: you'd like to think it's like an this is like
37:17
Speaker 2: an every other year's cycle where they're gonna be a
37:19
Speaker 2: little bit better than the next year after they struggled.
37:21
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll say, like.
37:22
Speaker 2: Uh and maybe and if it really is something like that,
37:25
Speaker 2: then maybe they could go seven to two. Or they
37:27
Speaker 2: are they do have a little bit more talent than
37:29
Speaker 2: we think they do. So yeah, that's a little grief there.
37:33
Speaker 2: But that's that's Washington right there. I got Orchard Farm
37:38
Speaker 2: schedule right here. Okay, all right, So starts out at
37:44
Speaker 2: Zumwalt South, host Pacific at Zumold East, host Winfield at St. Charles, West,
37:49
Speaker 2: host Warrington, host St. Charles at Holt, and then host
37:52
Speaker 2: Loving Saint Charles. Again, I'm not really impressed by their
37:56
Speaker 2: schedule first impressions, just with the program they've been.
38:01
Speaker 1: Able to build. I think they could do a little
38:03
Speaker 1: bit better with their schedule.
38:06
Speaker 4: But let's let's let's not be so uh.
38:11
Speaker 3: It's not coming out and dogging them for the schedule,
38:13
Speaker 3: and I think this is actually a decent schedule for them.
38:16
Speaker 1: Well, I just think I think they're a pretty good program.
38:19
Speaker 1: They are all pretty good program.
38:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they're they're a good program, But I don't
38:23
Speaker 4: think they've.
38:26
Speaker 3: I would say they're right behind Troy in the process
38:30
Speaker 3: of going from inconsistent to a consistent winner.
38:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they're not as big of.
38:35
Speaker 3: A school, so they're growing, though, they're growing, but they're
38:39
Speaker 3: not as big of.
38:39
Speaker 4: A school so yet.
38:41
Speaker 3: Right, So it's it's tough for them to go out
38:43
Speaker 3: and get those big name teams.
38:44
Speaker 4: But I think this is a good schedule.
38:46
Speaker 1: That's true.
38:46
Speaker 2: I apologize, but shoot, I mean they had a great
38:50
Speaker 2: season last year.
38:51
Speaker 1: They went ten to two. They've been solid the last
38:53
Speaker 1: three years.
38:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, start off eight.
38:56
Speaker 1: No.
38:56
Speaker 3: Last season, you know, they won their They won their
38:59
Speaker 3: conference pretty freaking easily last year.
39:01
Speaker 4: I mean they had a tough one.
39:02
Speaker 3: It's hold, but yeah, I mean I think they can.
39:09
Speaker 3: They definitely can win their conference again. Probably should.
39:12
Speaker 4: I mean they are the favorites to win the JC North.
39:14
Speaker 1: Yes, well I guess they are now since we said it.
39:17
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna only because I don't think
39:21
Speaker 3: z an Old South takes a massive step forward. I'm
39:23
Speaker 3: gonna go with a nine and oh ceiling and a
39:28
Speaker 3: six and three floor fort Farm.
39:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree on the nine and oh ceiling. I'll
39:33
Speaker 2: go seven and two floor. You know, maybe maybe they
39:38
Speaker 2: get upset by a team you know at Holt. I
39:40
Speaker 2: think could be there might be their toughest game. Pacific
39:44
Speaker 2: potition would be interesting, you know, and Warrington that'll be interesting,
39:50
Speaker 2: I think. And but you know, definitely Orchard Farm is
39:55
Speaker 2: certainly capable. I think if you just go one by
39:58
Speaker 2: one looking at schedule, they're capable of winning all those games.
40:03
Speaker 1: More than capable, that is.
40:04
Speaker 2: And you know, I like who they're like some of
40:08
Speaker 2: the replacements they're going to have. You know, Sinclair's younger
40:12
Speaker 2: brothers is gonna be their quarterback and he's looking pretty promising.
40:15
Speaker 1: And like, I like how they run their offense, and
40:18
Speaker 1: they they got.
40:20
Speaker 2: Enough returning starters to be pretty pretty solid, and they
40:23
Speaker 2: got some good young players like Terrence Curry and Patrick Ayers.
40:26
Speaker 2: Those they are two good receivers, two good young prospects
40:29
Speaker 2: right there. And so I think so I think their
40:31
Speaker 2: passing attack is not going to lose much production right there.
40:35
Speaker 2: Interesting to see how they fill in the gaps they're
40:37
Speaker 2: running back. But no, yeah, I think they're there. They're
40:39
Speaker 2: they're looking good.
40:41
Speaker 1: You know. Just the little qualm I have is just
40:43
Speaker 1: I just.
40:44
Speaker 2: Think, you know, it could have been a little bit
40:45
Speaker 2: more competitive schedule, but they're going at their own pace
40:48
Speaker 2: and it's working so far.
40:50
Speaker 1: So ultimately, who am I to, you know, who am
40:52
Speaker 1: I to criticized?
40:53
Speaker 4: I think the covered I think they're doing a good job.
40:56
Speaker 1: Yeah they're fine.
40:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So hopefully they get a better draw
41:01
Speaker 3: in the PLAYFF because last year they had to run
41:02
Speaker 3: into Parkway North.
41:04
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll probably still have to play them again.
41:06
Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
41:07
Speaker 4: Will probably be in Class four still, so they will
41:10
Speaker 4: be in Class four.
41:10
Speaker 2: So two years ago they got blown out by Parkway
41:12
Speaker 2: North in district championship. Last year, last year they had
41:16
Speaker 2: a block field goal like with two.
41:18
Speaker 1: Minutes ago in the game.
41:20
Speaker 4: That was a crazy game.
41:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a back and forth, low scoring game.
41:24
Speaker 2: So and I think they got a you know, and
41:26
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I Parkway North.
41:31
Speaker 1: They're still gonna be good.
41:32
Speaker 2: But if if Orchard Farmers progressing and just the way
41:35
Speaker 2: they naturally probably should be progressing, they're going to get
41:38
Speaker 2: keep getting a little bit better each year. You know,
41:41
Speaker 2: maybe their offense is and his productive his last year,
41:43
Speaker 2: because you know, it's like Saint Clair who's graduated like
41:45
Speaker 2: he was. He was a really good quarterback. He's gonna
41:47
Speaker 2: be hard to replace. But just you know, just that
41:49
Speaker 2: the standard is just slowly growing, slowly rising with that,
41:53
Speaker 2: so that that's good to see. And I don't have
41:58
Speaker 2: any moorse GEC schedules right here with me, right here.
42:02
Speaker 4: At Warrington in front of talk about them.
42:04
Speaker 1: Let's do Warrington. Yeah, all right, we all got time
42:07
Speaker 1: for a few more.
42:07
Speaker 3: Okay, Warrington. Week one they host Wright City. Week two,
42:11
Speaker 3: they're at Washington. Week three, they're home in St.
42:14
Speaker 4: Domina. That should be interesting. Week four, their home in St.
42:17
Speaker 3: Charles West, Week five at Holt, week six at Orchard Farm.
42:21
Speaker 4: Week seven they host Winfield. Week eight they're at.
42:24
Speaker 3: Saint Charles and the week nine in the season hosting Borgia.
42:28
Speaker 3: It's an interesting schedule, you know, in the season with Borgia,
42:32
Speaker 3: who had a decent season last year. You know, week
42:39
Speaker 3: one starting against Wright City.
42:41
Speaker 4: That's interesting.
42:43
Speaker 1: Well, they usually play Right City.
42:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a good that's a good Warren County
42:48
Speaker 2: rivalry game.
42:49
Speaker 4: And they've been playing Washington for a little while now too.
42:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
42:52
Speaker 4: The Saint dominant game though, that's interesting. I like that though.
42:55
Speaker 2: That would be a good That should be a good
42:56
Speaker 2: ones at Warrington, yes, yeah, and then they get in
43:01
Speaker 2: the conference with St. Charles West, whole Ortra Farm Winfield St.
43:04
Speaker 2: Charles and then Week nine game hosting Borgia. So they
43:09
Speaker 2: get the host Saint Dominic and Borgia.
43:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's big.
43:15
Speaker 1: I like the schedule. I think it's in an overall improvement,
43:21
Speaker 1: you know, from what it used to be.
43:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think they bring back too much on offense.
43:28
Speaker 2: They made a big deal about how good their offensive
43:31
Speaker 2: line was last year, and they did have a good line,
43:33
Speaker 2: but they just didn't have a ton of athletes and
43:35
Speaker 2: they lose, Like like Jack Morris was a really good
43:37
Speaker 2: lineman and they graduated him in a few other good guys.
43:40
Speaker 4: They're leading Russia from last year, Hernandez he comes back.
43:44
Speaker 1: That's good, that's big. Yes, I have admittedly not done
43:49
Speaker 1: their returning starters yet.
43:50
Speaker 4: No, it's okay, we'll get returning starters figured out.
43:53
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and so would imagine they're gonna be a
43:58
Speaker 2: little bit more inclined to be a little bit more,
44:00
Speaker 2: maybe go through the air a little bit more.
44:03
Speaker 1: I guess. I guess they beat Right City.
44:06
Speaker 2: I kind of assume that, like, yeah, that Washington game
44:09
Speaker 2: I think is probably gonna be like fifty to fifty
44:12
Speaker 2: Saint Domic.
44:13
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a tough game.
44:14
Speaker 2: You know, sat like Saint Dominic, they have hot they
44:16
Speaker 2: have more numbers, and they have more kids than Morton does. Yeah,
44:22
Speaker 2: so Saint Charles last told orgrafar and Winfield St. Charles,
44:28
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think that. I would say that's probably
44:31
Speaker 2: at least four wins right.
44:32
Speaker 1: There, and then there's a handful of other games that
44:35
Speaker 1: could be wins.
44:36
Speaker 2: But I'm just really I I'm really not sure about
44:38
Speaker 2: the even there they are four so called locks, but.
44:43
Speaker 1: I guess I'll say a six and.
44:44
Speaker 2: Three ceiling and then a four and five floor. I
44:49
Speaker 2: just because I don't think they're gonna I think they
44:52
Speaker 2: win more than three games, just because of the again,
44:54
Speaker 2: the standard that they've built over these last few years now,
44:58
Speaker 2: So you know, they're there's there's probably gonna be a
45:01
Speaker 2: few games where maybe they just don't have a whole lot,
45:03
Speaker 2: but they're just gonna get a fine enough to just
45:05
Speaker 2: wild their way to win because they just they frankly
45:07
Speaker 2: know how to win, probably you know, compared to some
45:10
Speaker 2: other teams. So yeah, that's it's kind of a conservative
45:16
Speaker 2: thing right there. Yeah, So six and three ceiling and
45:19
Speaker 2: a three and six, seven and two for them, Okay, Okay,
45:27
Speaker 2: like because I could say, like you know, like Washington,
45:30
Speaker 2: Saint Dominic, Whole, Orchard Farm, and you know, Borgia could
45:37
Speaker 2: all be in my view or potential losses. But and
45:41
Speaker 2: then in other ways you could look at it differently
45:43
Speaker 2: like that, so you know, like Bors is.
45:44
Speaker 1: Also a potential win, holds a potential win. I don't
45:47
Speaker 1: think they beat Orchard Farm. I don't think they beat
45:51
Speaker 1: Saint Dominic. So yeah, you could say seven and two.
45:54
Speaker 2: Floor, but I'll be a little bit more conservative than
45:57
Speaker 2: say six and three ceiling.
46:01
Speaker 4: All right, might.
46:04
Speaker 3: As well briefly go over Holts while we're at it.
46:07
Speaker 3: Week one, Holt is at Westminster. WE two they host
46:11
Speaker 3: you on South League.
46:12
Speaker 4: Three and four on the road at Hillsboro and at
46:15
Speaker 4: Saint Charles.
46:16
Speaker 3: Week five and six are back at home against Warrington Winfield.
46:19
Speaker 4: WE seven, they're back on the road against Sint Charles.
46:22
Speaker 3: West and We's eight and nine the back at home
46:23
Speaker 3: against Orchard Farm, and Washington.
46:28
Speaker 4: Got Hillsboro the at the conference. That's gonna be a
46:30
Speaker 4: cool matchup. Yes, they did decn season last year. I
46:36
Speaker 4: think they were like what five and six was last
46:38
Speaker 4: last year.
46:40
Speaker 2: I spent That's really how Holt's been like these last
46:43
Speaker 2: three years.
46:43
Speaker 3: Well, they're going through a big demographic change, and yeah,
46:47
Speaker 3: they're the district is still trying to redraw our boundary
46:50
Speaker 3: lines to make it to where they have a mostly
46:54
Speaker 3: even student distribution across our district.
46:57
Speaker 4: And I know they're doing a lot of renovations on
46:59
Speaker 4: the building at Holt itself. So they're going through a
47:02
Speaker 4: bit of a pretty dynamic period of time right right now.
47:05
Speaker 4: And went to a whole high school.
47:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know they started oh and three and
47:11
Speaker 3: then one kind of wrote them off, and then they
47:13
Speaker 3: won the next five, picked up a really exciting winning
47:17
Speaker 3: at Central's West last year, beat Warrington too, which I
47:21
Speaker 3: think was their best win of the season.
47:22
Speaker 4: Be Warranton twenty four to fourteen last.
47:25
Speaker 3: Year, and then kept the competitive against pretty po Parkway
47:29
Speaker 3: most team in the playoffs.
47:30
Speaker 1: So they had some close losses too, like the North
47:34
Speaker 1: Point and Orchard Farm.
47:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, QB from the last couple of years, Ivan Dean
47:39
Speaker 3: he graduates.
47:40
Speaker 1: They do have some good quarterback prospects coming up though.
47:44
Speaker 4: See, I mean, I trust it's just it's just tough
47:52
Speaker 4: because it's you.
47:53
Speaker 3: Know, with with them north Point, Liberty and Timberland. They
47:57
Speaker 3: actually crazy enough they don't play any of the Winstile.
48:01
Speaker 4: Schools this year at all.
48:02
Speaker 1: Oh really, it's just.
48:03
Speaker 3: Crazy that used to be in it. For the last
48:06
Speaker 3: few years, all four of Winsble schools have played each other.
48:08
Speaker 4: So it's kind of cool, like for the little yeah
48:10
Speaker 4: wins championships.
48:12
Speaker 3: I think that'll come back in a couple of years
48:14
Speaker 3: when the numbers bounce out a little bit. But again,
48:17
Speaker 3: at least for now, they're kind of in a transition period.
48:21
Speaker 4: But I'll give them a I'll give them a six
48:24
Speaker 4: and three ceiling and I'll go I'll go to three
48:28
Speaker 4: and six four.
48:28
Speaker 3: Because I just don't don't don't know too much to
48:30
Speaker 3: expect from them.
48:33
Speaker 1: But I could see what's crazy.
48:36
Speaker 2: I could see them if they are a little better
48:38
Speaker 2: than like maybe what they're made out to be. I
48:41
Speaker 2: could see them starting seven and zero, just because I
48:47
Speaker 2: just think a.
48:47
Speaker 1: Lot of those games are toss ups like this.
48:51
Speaker 4: What about Hillsboro, I mean they're.
48:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they I mean decent team. Last year.
48:56
Speaker 2: They're solid, Yeah they are, but you know it's it's
49:00
Speaker 2: been solid too at times, and I think they're getting there.
49:02
Speaker 4: But every time I think about a whole type my
49:07
Speaker 4: heart breaks.
49:07
Speaker 1: But how in twenty twenty one.
49:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was their team. I will say, I will,
49:16
Speaker 2: you know, because they're the GAC North. I think it's
49:19
Speaker 2: a doable schedule. I'll say seven to two floor and sorry,
49:22
Speaker 2: seven to two ceiling and a five and four floor.
49:26
Speaker 4: All right, yeah, very nice.
49:27
Speaker 2: All right, so that'll do it for our GAC floor ceilings.
49:32
Speaker 2: Sorry if if you were from like Zumalt south through
49:37
Speaker 2: Zoomald the East or north Point and you were looking
49:40
Speaker 2: forward to a breakdown, sorry, we're gonna get you guys today, but.
49:44
Speaker 4: You can briefly go over them.
49:45
Speaker 1: Oh really you want to?
49:46
Speaker 4: Just real quick?
49:47
Speaker 1: Why not as well? Why not? Okay, you got it
49:50
Speaker 1: all right there actually, so yeah.
49:52
Speaker 4: One second and I will. I'll pull them.
49:55
Speaker 1: Up all right.
49:58
Speaker 3: For them to east all right, Jacksonville, Illinois on the
50:02
Speaker 3: road Week one. Interesting, Oh look at that Easton Charles
50:06
Speaker 3: are playing Let's go.
50:07
Speaker 4: Week two.
50:09
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
50:09
Speaker 4: I might as well just walk across the grass in
50:12
Speaker 4: the back.
50:13
Speaker 2: Do they still bring a bus just for like the
50:16
Speaker 2: official reasons or something.
50:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's literally just walking distance.
50:22
Speaker 3: Week three the host Orchard Farm. We four are at
50:24
Speaker 3: north Point. Week five the host Washington. Week six ads
50:27
Speaker 3: the South for rivalry game. Week seven adds Themalt North.
50:30
Speaker 3: Week eight host Timberland. Week nine, they're at Saint Charles
50:34
Speaker 3: West End.
50:34
Speaker 4: The season had a decent start to year.
50:38
Speaker 3: Last year they started they started two and two, then
50:42
Speaker 3: got into the media schedule and had had a rough
50:45
Speaker 3: end of things. They finished the season three and seven,
50:49
Speaker 3: So again it's it's a program that's still trying to
50:52
Speaker 3: figure out who they want to be, and it's tough
50:54
Speaker 3: to predict what they want what they're gonna be because
50:56
Speaker 3: you know, they haven't done anything crazy in the past.
51:00
Speaker 1: Honestly, maybe the last.
51:01
Speaker 3: Time they finished about five hundred was twenty eighteen when
51:04
Speaker 3: they won their conference. Actually, yeah, but yeah, I'll go
51:09
Speaker 3: with the form two and seven floor.
51:12
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a team that I just can't
51:13
Speaker 4: predict too much out of.
51:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and plus, there's gonna be a lot
51:17
Speaker 2: of teams you're gonna be looking at Zomo East and
51:19
Speaker 2: thinking like, well, like that's a game we gotta win,
51:21
Speaker 2: because like we're weren't gonna get a whole lot of
51:23
Speaker 2: you know, other games like that.
51:25
Speaker 4: Well, South start off three and no.
51:28
Speaker 3: Last year had a you know, wasn't the strongest start
51:31
Speaker 3: of the schedule.
51:34
Speaker 4: And then the issue is South last year with turnovers.
51:37
Speaker 3: I feel like there was a lot of drives last
51:39
Speaker 3: year where South Wild get something going and they just
51:41
Speaker 3: would couldn't finish drives.
51:44
Speaker 4: But anyway, Week one they host Orchard Farm. We two
51:46
Speaker 4: are at Holt.
51:48
Speaker 3: Week three, the Bulldogs host the Spartans of how Central.
51:51
Speaker 3: We four at Washington Because five and six are back
51:54
Speaker 3: at home against the North the Well East. Week seven
51:57
Speaker 3: are at Timberline A. Week eight they host North Point
52:00
Speaker 3: in the Week nine are at the Liberty. This is
52:05
Speaker 3: an interesting schedule and again they they've showed flashes in
52:10
Speaker 3: previous seasons.
52:13
Speaker 2: I really like Ryland Gardner, who's a sophomore for them.
52:17
Speaker 2: He was a he's a really good prospect. I think
52:19
Speaker 2: he could be their quarterback this coming season. Yeah, I
52:21
Speaker 2: don't know for sure, but obviously, yeah, he got some
52:24
Speaker 2: He probably might because he got some reps last year
52:26
Speaker 2: at quarterbacks.
52:27
Speaker 1: He's a he's a really good athlete.
52:29
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean they had him, they had him involved.
52:33
Speaker 3: You know, they had Gardener involved in different part of
52:35
Speaker 3: the offense last.
52:36
Speaker 4: Year as freshman.
52:37
Speaker 3: So yeah, so he he'll definitely be a go two
52:39
Speaker 3: guy for them, I guess I'll just go with the
52:41
Speaker 3: five and four ceiling on a three and six four. Again,
52:45
Speaker 3: what are they gonna have the line? What are they
52:47
Speaker 3: gonna have the D line? I'm not really sure.
52:49
Speaker 1: He'll probably have some size in their line. But like
52:51
Speaker 1: I just when I've.
52:52
Speaker 2: Seen them play and I was able to I have
52:54
Speaker 2: actually seen them play.
52:56
Speaker 1: Back to back years at Zumwalt South with the lost
53:00
Speaker 1: both games.
53:01
Speaker 2: But yeah, just like their their line isn't really good
53:04
Speaker 2: at like getting getting to the next level and blocking linebackers,
53:07
Speaker 2: and so that's something they they.
53:09
Speaker 1: Just got to get better at.
53:11
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean they they they have some athletes there,
53:14
Speaker 2: but uh yeah, I.
53:16
Speaker 1: Mean I'll just I'll defer to what you said there too.
53:18
Speaker 1: It's just not a ton of excitement.
53:21
Speaker 2: But I think with if Gardner is there and they
53:24
Speaker 2: have a few some other good young players in his class,
53:26
Speaker 2: there's some hope there.
53:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's go over to North Point.
53:31
Speaker 4: Uh. North Points at a good pace.
53:33
Speaker 3: They have literally increased their wins every single year than
53:35
Speaker 3: that team.
53:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna win at least nine games this year.
53:39
Speaker 2: So that they're at least going to win seven games
53:41
Speaker 2: that regular season.
53:43
Speaker 3: Well, not a coach and girls did a great job
53:44
Speaker 3: with with the Grizzes up there at North point eight
53:47
Speaker 3: three season. Last year had had definitely a solid year.
53:52
Speaker 3: And then yeah, so this year at Saint Dominic's start
53:55
Speaker 3: the year, that actually be a really funny on yep,
53:57
Speaker 3: that should be fun. Big two at segment that would
54:00
Speaker 3: also be a very interesting game. And then they're at
54:03
Speaker 3: home for the first time in Week three against pop
54:04
Speaker 3: for Bluff.
54:05
Speaker 4: Pretty pretty random match.
54:06
Speaker 1: Up there, very random.
54:07
Speaker 4: Four into the conference schedule, they hosted them all East.
54:11
Speaker 3: Week five, are at Timberland A week sixth they hosted
54:13
Speaker 3: them all North.
54:14
Speaker 4: Week seven, they host Washington.
54:16
Speaker 3: Week eight they're as well South and we nine they
54:18
Speaker 3: host Caruthersville.
54:20
Speaker 4: That is wow.
54:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, that's a two way school. Yeah, I believe
54:26
Speaker 2: they are two way class two.
54:28
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I was down on boot heels.
54:31
Speaker 4: That's yeah. Can'tyon net school? Interesting? That's very interesting. I
54:38
Speaker 4: think I'll go with them.
54:40
Speaker 3: Shoot, then they're two toughest games are definitely Saint dom
54:44
Speaker 3: and Dumalt North would be tough too, and then second
54:48
Speaker 3: so I'll go with the seven and two ceiling, and
54:49
Speaker 3: then I'll go with the five and four floor.
54:51
Speaker 4: I mean it's a solid team.
54:52
Speaker 2: I got a I will I got a six and
54:55
Speaker 2: three ceiling because they lost Tavern Williams.
55:00
Speaker 1: He was their best offensive player last year.
55:02
Speaker 3: And they Yeah, he threw over two thousand yards last year,
55:06
Speaker 3: ran for over five hundred dards last.
55:07
Speaker 1: I mean he he was their entire offense last year
55:09
Speaker 1: pretty much.
55:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
55:10
Speaker 2: So, and then he transferred the Timberland so that that
55:13
Speaker 2: that that game is gonna be.
55:16
Speaker 4: That's still I can't even comprehend that even happened.
55:19
Speaker 1: And that's just well, it's gonna happen.
55:21
Speaker 4: It's it's insane, that's so crazy.
55:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I think, honestly, I think you're being a
55:29
Speaker 1: little nice.
55:29
Speaker 2: I think I think it would be like a five
55:31
Speaker 2: and four five and four ceiling in a three and
55:34
Speaker 2: six floor. You know, you know, you lose your best
55:38
Speaker 2: returning starter who dominated the offensive statistical categories.
55:43
Speaker 1: Uh, that's gonna be tough.
55:44
Speaker 2: I mean, they should have some athletes, because they they've
55:47
Speaker 2: the last few years, they've had some really good athletes
55:51
Speaker 2: come through. But like unfortunately, like that, like Kingston, Kingston
55:54
Speaker 2: McPike was a freshman there and then he transferred the
55:56
Speaker 2: CVC and the Tavern Williams I mean those those two
55:59
Speaker 2: guys were supposed to be like.
56:01
Speaker 1: Juniors and seniors this year, and then both they're gone.
56:04
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a little tough slutting
56:07
Speaker 1: for them.
56:08
Speaker 3: We'll probably have guys like Jayden Floors. Now it's Graham
56:10
Speaker 3: the main contributors.
56:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a good receiver.
56:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got they got some good dudes. I think
56:15
Speaker 3: they bring back three. They're alignment three. They're starting alignment
56:19
Speaker 3: from last year.
56:20
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
56:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's tough to I mean that. Yeah, that
56:25
Speaker 3: Timberland game, I'm I what days there? That's a Friday
56:30
Speaker 3: night game, I hope. So that's a Thursday game.
56:35
Speaker 1: Oh, I think I'm there.
56:36
Speaker 4: Oh, I might have to go to that game. You
56:37
Speaker 4: might do another then Timberland game.
56:41
Speaker 3: That'll be in week five North Point at Timberland's at
56:46
Speaker 3: six o'clock on a Thursday, Scember twenty four.
56:48
Speaker 2: So we got we already have a week two on
56:52
Speaker 2: north game on Thursday week. These referee shortages are the
56:57
Speaker 2: gift that keeps on. No no, no, oh man.
57:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
57:05
Speaker 2: So that's uh, that's interesting. Wow, that's North Point for
57:10
Speaker 2: you right there? All right, that's all the time we
57:14
Speaker 2: have for the GAC teams right there. Thank you all
