- 1:16[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome high school football fans to our football Friday preview.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_02]: Mrs. Sinoa at Oak Hill in a CIC opener.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_02]: Show we did our week three previews and predictions and this was one of our five games to watch.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely the biggest game in the CIC and the opening weekend.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_02]: The only two great county teams going head to head on opening weekend of the CIC and
- 1:42[SPEAKER_02]: Last year, the two teams played each other twice, Mr. Sinole won both times, but O'Kill closed the gap between the two games and can they close it even more is going to be the question and we will hear from O'Kill head coach, but I've been coming up.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know, O'Kill dick close the gap in the tournament last year.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: I think part of that is, you know, it's hard to beat a team twice.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_01]: three times in a season, especially a well-coached team.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so yeah, we were getting ready to say the same thing, especially well coach team.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_01]: And we know O'Kill is very well coached with, but Mrs. Senawal, their head coach is now monthsy central, but his right hand man is still ahead of is still coaching Indians and he's got him off to a really good start.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think this game could be 28, 14 or maybe 31 or 34 to 14, something like that.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_01]: I think Mrs. Sinoa will win by, you know, at least two scores and possibly, you know, three or more, but I do expect the Indians to win.
- 2:58[SPEAKER_01]: I just think there's such a discipline team.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_01]: They still have some athletes and they still have some.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_01]: good people up front.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_01]: I'm both sides of the ball.
- 3:09[SPEAKER_02]: I had some questions coming into the year whether Mrs. Cina Wall would be as good as they are.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, they lost a really key pieces from last year's team and their head coach who clearly has gone over the month.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_02]: He sent her on just continued his magic.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_02]: So far through the first two weeks, the signs point to the exact same dominant Mrs. Cina Wall program.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_01]: They do, you know, and like I said, I, you know, I think this, I think O'Kill can can and will score them unless they, you know, turn them all over whatever, but I just at this point of the season, I just think, you know, miss a cinnamon is really good now that said, you know, O'Kill.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: Barely was beaten and it didn't happen until the closing seconds and their season opener against an Eastern team that, you know, new was going to be good, but I think came into the season even maybe a little better than what I thought they would be at that point at this point of the year.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's no doubt about it in my mind.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_02]: They're better than I expected him to be.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_02]: And I think right now, I would put East Brook in Mrs. Sinoa out in front of the CIC, Madison Grant, and Alexandria may be right behind, but all for near the same level.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_02]: We did ask Coach Osmond about it and he hears what he had to say about the game and get some Mrs. Sinoa.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sporcher for Oak Hill Head Coach, but Osmond
- 4:40[SPEAKER_02]: Coach, anything interesting happened in your life the last couple weeks?
- 4:44[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we had a pretty interesting night last Friday night, so one we were pretty pleased with the outcome.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_02]: Especially coming off of a one the week before that was such a heartbreaker default behind against Norwell and for your team to Claude's way back and win that game in the fourth quarter, awfully impressive.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_04]: came off for the Eastern game, you know, obviously a disappointing ending, but it was one of those where we recognize things that we were doing wrong.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_04]: Recognized our, you know, our mental approach or discipline was not where it needed to be.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, we, we said that we had to learn from that first week and we came out and.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_04]: Norwell took it to us early and it wasn't sure at that moment if we really learned any of our lessons that we had to talk about, but Norwell's really good too.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_04]: They were big up front and they just ran it down our throats to begin with and a little bit later we made some defensive adjustments that really helped us, but really came down to a pretty gritty performance by our guys in the fourth quarter and I think the most thing I'm most
- 6:02[SPEAKER_04]: is you're down by 17, heading into the fourth quarter.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_04]: And you, you know, a lot of kids at that point would have already given up, you know, it's, they look at it as hopeless and our guys didn't.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_04]: And they just kept fighting and we got a score on the board and then we got a three and out and then we got another score on the board and then all of a sudden, you know, it's a one score game and our defense came up again
- 6:33[SPEAKER_04]: uh... come up with some big plays down the stretch and got ourselves in a position to score right there and uh... you know score to the eleven seconds to go to give us the lead so pretty exciting really proud of our guys and uh... you know we just need to keep that momentum rolling coach how much fun is that as it's happened
- 6:51[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, it's not much fun as it's happening.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I think the crowd liked it and everything else, but you know, you're, you know, you look back on it and it's, it's, it's a lot of fun and you watch the film and it's a lot of fun.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, but in the moment, you know, you, you, you need everything to go right and, uh, you know, we, we got ourselves in a fourth and ten and, uh, we, we had, uh, hit a long
- 7:19[SPEAKER_04]: And that's not necessarily the highest odds to make that happen and we made it happen.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_04]: So everything it kind of needed to go right and our kids really needed to execute well.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_04]: And so in the moment, you just want to make sure you're making the right decisions and you get the.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_04]: the kids in the right position and then when you look back then it's a lot of fun.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_04]: So in the moment, in the moment it's fun, but it's not as much fun as is after the fact.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: Hey coach, how important was it after you guys lost a heartbreaker in the last seconds to eastern and weak one?
- 7:55[SPEAKER_01]: How important and how big was getting that rally rallying rallying
- 8:03[SPEAKER_01]: coming back and you getting that big win against Norwell last week.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's huge.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_04]: You know, for us to possibly have dropped the O and two and maybe not even made a run at that come back, that was going to make it.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_04]: That would have made it very hard this week to get to our guys mentally heading into the conference and then when your
- 8:32[SPEAKER_04]: You know, you got to be playing your best.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_04]: And so by us being able to come off of that with a win and some momentum doing some positive things that makes this week, you know, approach a whole lot.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_04]: I'll say easier, but you know, it made it so that we could focus a lot more on what we needed to get done, but had we gone on to that was going to be a big hold to to kind of dig out of head into a missocino a week.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_02]: Coach any individual performances stand out to you?
- 9:05[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, on the defensive side, you know, there were several guys and we always talk about our defensive line that if they execute the way they're supposed to, they keep the linebackers clean and the linebackers can make tackles.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, our defensive line and there were several guys because we rotated, you know, a guy's.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_04]: But as a whole, that group really came up big later in the game.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_04]: And then, you know, gauge pierce was a lineback of force.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_04]: He's a sophomore, he weighs all 165 pounds.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, you'd like those guys to be bigger.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_04]: But gauge came up big with 12 tackles on the night.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_04]: You know, on the offensive side, same kind of thing.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_04]: When we got down, because we knew we had to throw our offensive line as the game went, they got stronger, they got better, and then that gave us an opportunity to throw the ball where jet-out as the game went on, he got sharper, he was better, and then back in Lamb coming up with a big time catch, Drake Pond had four receptions on the night, none of them were easy, every single one of them, he had to make a play.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_04]: And Jesse's word is a sophomore running back for us had a big run and caught a touchdown pass.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_04]: And guys that were capable a week ago against Deastern came up and we're even better this week.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_04]: And when we needed plays, they made plays.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, so just a few guys, and, and, but, you know, overall, everybody we had on the field as often to defense, uh, were huge for us Friday night.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_02]: Coach, uh, different face leading the program over at Mississippi, well, but so far, doesn't look like the results have changed at all.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_04]: No, you know, and, uh, Coach Lockner was defensive coordinator there, you know, he used to want to put together that, uh, incredible defense they had a year ago.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_04]: uh... you know him taking over his head coach you just know that nothing's going to change defensively you know those guys know the scheme they know what he's expected to do so you know maybe you knew that coach but defensively you're not seeing things that are much differently than you saw a year ago um... you know offensively you know they they lost some they lost some personnel uh... but uh... you know they still have monday in the backfield
- 11:35[SPEAKER_04]: And he says impressive as you're going to see all year.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_04]: He's beefed up to about 195 and he is a physical downhill runner.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_04]: And we've talked about how we're going to need to approach him.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_04]: And we have the opportunity to tackle him.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_04]: We've got to get him on the ground.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_04]: We can't let him break tackles.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we've talked about fouls, both on offense and defensive line.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, they've just got, they've got people that they're impressive, but, you know, that's what we talked about with our guys is, you know, we've got some momentum, we need to build on the momentum, but we gotta be playing even better this next week, going against the defending council champions.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_02]: Coach, before the season, we were talking about how good the CIC was going to be, and I think it might even be better than we expected, right?
- 12:35[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's you're looking out way, you know, you knew Mr. Senate was going to come
- 12:42[SPEAKER_04]: what the record was last year, you know, they're not going to stay so 500, you know, they're going to come back even stronger and they've done that, it's going to, you know, Alexandria is the same way, Madison Grants is the same way, you know, you know, hopefully we were gaining some momentum, but yeah, I'm looking at whoever comes out at the end of this season as conference champion is going to have to earn it.
- 13:11[SPEAKER_02]: The champion may have a loss this year.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's a good option.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_02]: Coach, thank you so much for your time, always appreciate it, and good luck on Friday.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_04]: All right, thank you, appreciate it.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_02]: Michelle on Friday night we will have our football Friday scoreboard show and we will hear from several coaches and feature a few games and central Indiana one of those games will be okay on Mrs. Dinoan.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_02]: He's part of your prediction a little bit but what's your official prediction for this game?
- 13:46[SPEAKER_01]: Again I really don't even miss a single wins by at least two scores and I think it could be more I would be surprised if it's by more than three
- 13:55[SPEAKER_02]: God, I'd be surprised if it's a blowout, but I'd also be surprised if Mrs. Siddilaw doesn't win fairly handily, but like we said, O'Kill is a well-coast and they're capable of quite a lot as we saw last week in that come from behind-win.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_02]: Michelle, thank you so much for your time.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_02]: Always appreciate it.
