  SPEAKER_00: Um we'll start with the first one.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Notre Dame 44, Cathedral City 16.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: So Notre Dame is a much better improved team.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: We kind of predicted this.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: They came into Cat City, jumped all over the Lions early, and kind of ran away with it there in the second half.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it came out on fire, and it's hard to, with that type of offense, a claw back out from behind.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um, like we talked about if you're running the ball a lot, that's just a time, that's a possession game, and all of a sudden you're you're behind on the on the on the points and the time.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's they gotta start throwing the ball a little bit more.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: And um, I don't know, it doesn't sound like they were able to do that.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: So Yeah, it was uh 21-0, I believe.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: They jumped, Notre Dame jumped out pretty quick on them.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: They have some athletes out there this year, um putting up some big numbers.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's an undefeated team.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: So we kind of knew Cat City had a big, big task at hand um at home.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, they fought, they came back, scored some points.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: I saw some I saw some highlights.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: They they busted off some some big runs there in the second half.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they had some guys going, some having some big plays.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: So there's some there's a lot of there's a lot of talent out there.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's just, you know, that wasn't their night on Thursday.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um the Lions moved to one and two.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: They got a tough one coming up, an exciting one coming up this week.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: We'll talk about in the next segment.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: But um, you know, good good job.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: Good showing.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they kind of came out second half and played much better.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so better days ahead for the Lions.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so this is a really interesting score.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Deadly Mirage 43, Mendez Zero, 43 points by the Rams, man, on the road.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's a heck of a showing, huh?
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot of running yards.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: That is a lot of running yards.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: I saw some highlights of it.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: It looks like they do just did what they do.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: They ran the ball and controlled the clock and defense pitched a shutout.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Coach Flip told me he he's he's happy with his guys up front, man.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: They got a lot of big guys up there, and it sounds like they're blocking well.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: So um hats off to them, man.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: 3-0?
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: 3-0.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: Desert Mirage Rams, 3-0.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: Coach Flip is on a roll.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's amazing.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: And he he kind of predicted this.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: He came in here pretty confident a couple months ago.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: And hey, shout out to Desert Mirage, man.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: 3-0.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember the last time they were 3-0, but that's a heck of a way to start.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think the schedule toughens up a little bit um coming up.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: But they're definitely a contender right there for that league.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that league's gonna be pretty wide open.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: I think, you know, Desert Mirage is a team that can win that league, I think.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 100%.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: And they're still, you know, undefeated, one of the last undefeated teams in the in the area.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, they're they're looking nice for that league.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, can't fake 3-0.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: No, can't fake it.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Good job to the Rams.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Good job.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Keep it up.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Keep it up, Coach Flip.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: You're doing an excellent job.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on, another Thursday night game.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um, 35, Shadow Hills 14.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: So our the Knights, Coach King gets his first win last week, goes on the road.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: A tough, tough opponent.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: And Yukaipa, you got to check out some of this game.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: What were your impressions?
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, first thing that popped out, you know, uh, it looked like uh UKIPA was just rushing three, they had a 30 out there, and they were getting pressure, which is three guys, which isn't isn't good if you're you know like an O lineman on Shadow Hill.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: So I think they'll get that short up.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: But the good news is um I didn't see a lot of mistakes from Shadow Hill.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: So even though they lost against a very good team, they're getting better in that regard.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: So um uh I know it doesn't feel like it, but I feel like they got better.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: So uh if there's something to hang their hat on, it would be that the mistakes just weren't there like that we saw in week one and week two and um or week zero, week one.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um so uh I I know they lost, but I I wouldn't hang my hat on.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: That's a good team over there.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's hard to beat uh UKIPA.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: So we kind of had known that that was gonna be a test.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's a short week, so offensive install is very limited.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Can't do too much in terms of putting new stuff in.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: How about that number one, huh?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then and Woodson, man, stud, man.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: I saw that the two scores were from him on big, big plays, big runs, big catches.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: Every time they were just hitting him with stop routes and hitch routes, and and every time he got the ball in his hand, he'd make two or three guys miss every play.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: It wasn't just once, it was every play it took like four guys to get him down.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: And you saw the highlights.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he caught that sideline and was gone.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: So you're gonna have to keep your eyes on him when you're playing Shadow Hills.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: So big plays, man.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Big plays out at number one in Shadow Hills in the past game.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, Ukaypa kind of was a little bit too much on the on the on the road, um, too much offense.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Shadow Hills is much improved, is improving, I think, week to week, though.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: I I yeah, I like I said, I think they got better in a weird way.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: That makes sense.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I mean it it's kind of makes sense in terms of where they're at in terms of the beginning of the year, right?
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: You're always you always just want to see progression.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: The opponents are gonna vary in in skill, but you want to see progression from your football team.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and uh I'm seeing it.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: So keep it up, Coach King.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: You're doing a good job.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and that offense looks good, man.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: I like the the stuff I saw.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's pretty, it's pretty, it's pretty much.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Play design's nice, man.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's unique, it's fun, and I know the kids are buying in.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I I think they probably will agree if they get that O line a little better on um pass plays.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um it should set everything else up.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: So give the quarterback a little bit more time.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, hey, so tough, tough loss for the Knights, but hey, they'll be back.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: They'll be right there in league.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then lastly, we're gonna move on to uh last Thursday night game.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Serano 26, Xavier Prepped 21.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: Serrano's another tough program, huh?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Did you check out any of this game?
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't see any, did you?
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: I actually yeah, I got to see a lot of this game.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: And it was a pr it was even though Xavier lost, it was it may have been a turning point for that team.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: I know they're 0-3.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they were down 20-0 at the half.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Serano mashed him up front.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh the kickoff, the initial kickoff of the game.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: Serrano ran it back.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they got a bigger one.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Started in a hole, yeah.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: And the first half, they're still starting a freshman at quarterback, and there were times where he had some freshman plays.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um but then the third quarter starts, they come out.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Serrano's just big up front, man, just in the run game, and they just kind of push people around and they kind of drive down their score again.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: 26-0, nine minutes left.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: You're like thinking, okay, let's just get out of here.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: Xavier used to get out of here with no with no injuries and just get out of here.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: But something happened that in that nine-minute mark.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the Xavier went down.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Uh name to remember, King Palum.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: He's been off the radar for a while because he's been playing quarterback.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Playmaker.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: They put him at receiver and safety.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: That guy, that guy is special at receiver.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: He was he was the best player on the field that second half.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: They could not cover him.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: He he had a big running catch.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um the freshman led them down there for the initial score to uh Joe Mejia.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: They get an onside kick.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now they now momentum's completely flipped.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: They go down, score again.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: Another big play to King Palum, and now Xavier's rolling.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: They come back, get another turnover, and they and they throw another one to Joe Mejia.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: So the freshman throws three touchdowns in nine minutes, 21, 26, and they go for another onside kick.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Don't get that one.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Serrano's able to run the clock out, but I think that made you saw that offense finally click.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: There was something there, huh?
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: You saw what it was supposed to look like.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: So I think it was one of those things where even though Xavier lost, like the way they were walking off the field, you would think that Serrano had lost.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's just the momentum was.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if they had three more minutes in that game, there's a chance that Xavier could pull that pull that off.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't want to play Xavier next week, man.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: They're they're looking looking like they finally turned a corner.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that was just my assessment.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: That was a pretty special nine-minute run.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they could have just folded, folded down shop and quit and got on the bus and went home.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: I've seen that a lot.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't do that.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: They they they fought to the end.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um, King Palem was gonna be a difference maker on that offense.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: He's the type of receiver that can take the top off the defense, which they've missed.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I think that maybe this may be a turning point.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't, you know, high school football is a crazy thing, but to me, it seemed like they they did something that kind of turned the corner.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll see.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if you got to lose a game, I guess that's the a good way to go out.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um it was uh it was impressive that lasting a little stretch.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe that carries on to next week.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: We shall see.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: So uh moving on to Friday games.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: So we had some really good Friday games.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um starting with um 35, Yucca Valley 30.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: So Yucca Valley, another team that's kind of trying to find their way at 0-2, went out to Colton, a tough place to play.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um, this may be another instance where like Yucca Valley may have found something because they scored 30 points against a tough Colton team.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: I saw some highlights.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Aiden Pope finally started to get a little started looking like himself.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: A couple touchdowns.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: This may be another instance where you know that offense finally clicks.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_02: I wonder what they changed or if it was just sometimes a quarterback just gets it all of a sudden.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_02: He starts to get the timing of the offense down, and all of a sudden you just start to get some momentum.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I I didn't see the game, but um, yeah, they they made a they made a game of it.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: They came back.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, like I said, there were some big plays made by some of their stars.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um uh Aiden Pope has some highlights out there.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: You probably have seen them on the internet.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: He's he looks like himself again.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: So hey, maybe it's another another turning point for Yucca.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: And and that's against a good team.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: Colton's good, so you'd like to see that.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um moving on, lakeside comes into 29 palms, lakeside 49, 29 palms six.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: So Wildcats after a one-point win last week, kind of kind of get um run into a much better opponent.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: Lakeside's pretty good.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: We knew that Lakeside was gonna be good as a ranked opponent.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: They're undefeated, they've been putting up big numbers, and uh, you know, they go up there and do their thing in 29 palms.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, six points.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's tough.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh, you know, it's probably another learning experience for the Wildcats, you know, but they're gonna be right there in the league.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: They do have some athletes.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: They just gotta get through this tough stretch in the It's gonna make them better.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, in the in the regular season.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I think they schedule this game knowing it would be one of their tougher matchups.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: So um, but you know, they got they got a they got a lot of talent out there.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: They think they got good coaching.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: They should be right there in that Sun Valley League.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: No bounce back.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: That league is open for everybody.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um moving on.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so Desert Christian Academy, 66, San Yu Cento Valley Zero, 60 burger.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_02: And I heard they didn't even finish the game.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I guess uh San Yu Santo Valley called the game off uh at the end of the fourth quarter.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: They they waved the white flag and said no mass.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know if there was like player injuries or something like that, but um yeah, Desert Christian does what Desert Christian uh has been doing.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: I think they've won 22 straight uh regular season games.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Something ridiculous like that.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: That's a crazy stat.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's a crazy stat.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: And they're doing it in impressive fashion.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's a it's not even close.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's not even close.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's you gotta give the conquerors a lot of credit, man.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Their games are hard to find.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_02: I gotta check out a game.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: They're playing Saturday this weekend.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: They're playing Saturday.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe that'll be maybe that'll be something we check out.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: But Desert Christian Academy, I mean, 60, they've not been pushed this year.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's some there's some chatter on the internet.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: If is this the best team in the valley?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: What is what is our opinion on that?
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: I I think that we gotta make that take some.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're moving up there, yeah.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_02: They're they're very good.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh they can they're playing good defense offensively.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it sounds like they're stellar, they can move the ball through the air or run the game, run the ball.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think we're gonna find out a little bit more about them this week, though.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: So we should ask me that next week.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: The schedule does does uh get a little harder from here on out.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I think they're through their easy part of the season.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: We'll get a little bit more data.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and their league is much better.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: So next week, I think we'll have a much better, yeah, much better opinion of that.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: But I mean, as of right now, I think they can line up with anybody.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's just depth with them.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: To me, it's just depth.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: They don't have a ton of guys out there, but the guys they got.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_02: And that's the case with all the smaller schools, right?
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like that's that's always the case.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: But hey, a heck of a heck of a 22 in a row.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's crazy.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's a I'll take that as a coach, right?
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: Excellent job.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: Every time, yeah, good job.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: Keep it up.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: They're killing it.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh moving on.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: Citrus Valley 28.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: You're the Quinta Hawk Blackhawks 16 in the first loss for the La Quinta this year.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's tough.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: Were you able to what was your opinion on this?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I, you know, I saw a little bit of film.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I thought Citrus Valley looked beatable on film.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but when I saw them line up, they they had some big guys up front.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: That that defensive line was pretty impressive.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and they were not getting pushed around by that offensive line from La Quinta.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: So if you're gonna beat La Quinta, that's how you do it.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_02: You control that line of scrimmage, and and they did that.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I thought the uh Blackhawk defense uh did a good job.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um uh they came out in a 30, uh, which the week before was in a 40, but they played they played it really well.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: I I think the halftime it was 10-7 or 10-6.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_02: And they were close.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: It was a pick.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: And the one touchdown by La Quinta was a pick six.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so their defense was holding them in that game.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_02: They just need a little bit more help on the offensive side of the ball um to keep them in it, especially on you know as the the game got longer, it was apparent.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um tough loss, good opponent.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: They were better than I thought.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: So well, Lakinta handled them pretty well last year, so that speaks to the improvement of Citrus Valley.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they look they look good up front.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: They weren't able to really run the ball as well as normal either, from the stuff I saw.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and the quarterback did a good job of uh extending the play, getting on the perimeter, and um just finding some uh receivers.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: In fact, he did it the first half, but the the his receivers kept dropping the ball.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: So the second half looks like uh coaches might have fired up uh those wide receivers because they were catching the ball.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: Second half, I think that was a difference.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: They kind of just ran away from it with the score.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: But um, yeah, it's a good team, tough loss.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_02: Uh hopefully they bounce back next week.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: So they got another tough one next week, and we'll uh we'll kind of talk to that one in the next segment.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: But um, yeah, they didn't they didn't have no eat there's no easy games on this schedule for the Blackhawks.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: So uh moving on, another another one of our teams going on the road.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Victor Valley 43 Palm Desert Zero.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's a that's a pretty surprising score.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: I was surprised myself.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: I was shocked.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: I knew Vic Victor Valley was gonna um they're good.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: I I I had a feeling they were gonna win, but not by that much.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: Did you get the chance to check out any of the film?
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: Or no.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: So the I did see some of this game.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: The film that I saw, uh Victor Valley's just uh they just have so much team speed.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: Palm Desert, Palm Desert would line up.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: It looked like they had guys there, but then these guys would just shake loose.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: They have a running back that is all, you know, everything, all state.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: Number one recruit in the in in the state.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's he's like the top running back in the state.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: He looked at he's good, man.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: He's fast, he's he's strong.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: Palm Desert would have him contained, and then he would just shake loose and and break a big one.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they have some receivers that were really fast.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: It just the team speed was the difference.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like Victor Valley, Palm Desert definitely had the size advantage, but that team is a fast football team.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh Aztecs had trouble containing that team speed.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_02: They know how to play football up there.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, that was a heck of I was impressed by Victor Valley.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think it says more about Victor Valley.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: Palm Desert's gonna be fine.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they'll be right there.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um they got a ton of talent, but it was just yeah, that that that offense was pretty pretty impressive to watch on film.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's a long bus ride.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a long bus.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe if it's back here, we get you know different results or a different, you know, a little bit different score, but that that was uh that's a long, long way to go to chase around really fast guys.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not get no points.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and not get no points.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: So um Aztecs will be fine though.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: Coach 40 will get have something to work on this week and they'll bounce back just like they always do.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um okay, moving on.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: This is probably one of the more impressive wins of the weekend.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: Hemmitt 14.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: About them Rattlers.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: The Rattlers go to 3-0.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's a good team.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Hemett's good.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Hemet beat Palm Springs pretty convincingly, week one.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, week one, we can kind of throw those out, I think, at this point.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: But I mean, what do you got to see some of his game for your impressions?
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: I I was impressed.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, we got to start talking about Cal Woody.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_02: He's he's the quarterback for the Rattlers, and um, he's just getting a good feel for this offense now.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: He's doing everything Coach Matthews asks of him.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_02: Um he's starting to take control of that offense, man.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: And whether it's uh uh a read or the midline are pulling it and throwing it, he's he's completing those.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: He he had a nice, I don't know if it was a slant or a maybe it was a glance row.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_02: I I but he he threw it on time in a tight window, hit the receiver on stride.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: The receiver almost housed it.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um so they're they're gonna they're they're winning now, they're gonna keep getting better.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um so uh I think you'll hear his name a little bit more as we get into the season.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, they're 3-0, man.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: Good job.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: And I was impressed by the defense.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: The defense looked pretty good.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um very consistent.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Heman ran the ball very well in the first film that I saw.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and that was not the case now this week.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_02: Now they did a great job um just containing the the run.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_02: I I, you know, I've coached against them last few years, and they always do a good job uh when they line up against La Quinta dealing with their run.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um so I wasn't surprised to see that.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, but defense consistently from from week zero to now is has been consistent every game.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, that's good to see.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_00: And they're young, so heck heck of a job.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: Heck of a job for the for the Rattlers.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: Keep it up.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: Three and oh, maybe and they're getting better, so watch out.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it could be scary.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: They could be putting something together over there.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: A little a year ahead of schedule, because I think we were all thinking next year would be year that Rancho kind of returned to dominance.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: But I think last year's a little fluke.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think we're finding that out.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on, so another team that had to go out on the road, Paris 34, Indio Zero.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: So Coach Doc gets his first uh first loss of the year.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Indio was riding that momentum pretty high, and they go out on the road and they play a really good Paris team.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: The Paris team was in the playoffs, I think, the quarterfinals last year.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty good program.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and Indio kind of went out on the road and had some road woes, and Paris jumped out on them.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was like 24-nothing at the half or something like that.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: And it was yeah, and Indio couldn't really get anything going.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: So it's tough.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh, you know, that's part of it learn learning how to win, right?
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: Is going on the road and playing in a hostile environment.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's not as easy on the road when you got your band there, you got your crowd, you got your parents in the stands, your girlfriend there.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: On the road, there's like 15 people in the stands rooting for you.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody else is rooting against you.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: So there's some learning curve for the Rajahs.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: I want to watch the game, but it sounds like they just couldn't get it going on offense, huh?
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I just I think Paris just Paris ran into a buzzsaw named Paris, and they've kind of got some athletes, man.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't get to watch too much of the film, but uh Coach Doc will have them ready for what's coming next.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh they're better this year.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Two and one, hey, heck, they'll take it.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: If you told me that in the beginning of season, I'll be like, heck yeah, I'll take two and one as a start.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's that's the best start in about you know 20 years at India.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: So well they they have had hints of of goodness over the years.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: You were talking about Coach Gordon.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: He he he had that that program turning in the right direction for a couple years, right?
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, Coach Zero did the same thing uh for a year or two, and then so I know I know some people get mad when we say 20 years of, but there's been some hints of there've been, but it hasn't been consistent.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not it wasn't that powerhouse when we were kids.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: When we were kids, they were they would be here every year.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I I think that's what we mean when we say they're getting back to what they used to be is when we were kids, they were giants in my head.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: And as a as an old Roger, that's what you would want.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so but you know, Rome was not built in the day.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's coming though.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, Coach Doc's already done a real impressive job, so it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um moving on, another Friday night score.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: Bam 56, Carter 21.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_02: Broncos are for real.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: The Broncos are rolling, and I think we uh people need to start worrying about the Broncos in the DVL, man.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they it's gonna be interesting when we skit in the league play.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: They're they've been the most consistent team in that league, I think, at least offensively.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're a juggernaut offensively.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: I think he might be the best quarterback in the desert in this area.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think so.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: I think he's kind of proven his his stats.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: If you guys have seen his stats, they're pretty off the charts.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_02: And I start to see him play, and he he made every throw that you can think of.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, uh slants, corner routes, posts, go balls, uh even you know, screens are hard to throw sometimes.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: You're on the move and he's just accurate.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: He's he's super accurate.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: You can tell he's passionate about football, man.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_02: And um Jacob uh Anzadula, he can play, dude.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_02: So I think Andy's got weapons, coach.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_02: It's not just him.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: I know that helps a couple receivers that are out of this world too, putting up big numbers.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: So watching it.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: DVL, be on notice, man.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: These guys don't they don't get a lot of pub because the Desert Sun doesn't really cover them, and our TV stations don't cover them because a little bit far.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: A little bit out of our area.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: But I love that.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: They're in our league, so you better start paying attention because these guys are legit and they've been playing some pretty good teams and making quick work of them.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: So be on the lookout.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on, another another undefeated team.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: Desert Hot Springs 21.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: Rialto 16.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: What a good golden Eagles, keep it rolling, man.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Keep going three and oh.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you get the chance to check out of this.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_02: I did not heard the defense was doing well, though.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the defense, I I did get to see this one.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Desert Hot Springs, man.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: They Rialto was a tough team.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: I I know that they were down a couple years ago, but when I saw them on film, they're big and kind of nasty up front.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: They always have athletes.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: They ran the wing T.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: So they ran the wing T trying to get three, four yards.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: They had a big little big old running back.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: They were just chucking along.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: Desert Hot Springs did a good job.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: They just packed it in and tried to slow them down, but they did break loose, and it was a competitive game.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: I know Desert Hot Springs got up early and then Rialto scored again.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um uh Turner led him on the final drive to kind of take the lead for good, but it was a nail biter.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, Desert Hot Springs had to convert on a fake punt, or I don't even think it was a fake punt.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was just a punt where they saw an opening of the punt.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: The punter happened to be your free safety, so he, you know, it's Valenzwela.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: He took it and got a first down, and that was the end of the game.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: But it was a close game.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was a closer game than a lot of us had expected.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: So Rialto came in and gave a nice little another close game.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_02: Nice test.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_02: Desert Hot Spring wins.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's what they do.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they do do that.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's what they do.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: Golden Eagles are on a roll 3-0.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's another team that people need to start paying a little bit more attention to.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: And Chiefs not even playing yet.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: Chiefs over there being a coach right now.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's doing a good job.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: When he gets back, you better watch out.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: Show him how it's done.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: That guy's gonna definitely improve their defense and offense.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: So big things happening up at Desert Hot Springs.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: Keep it up.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: We're uh we're big fans.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: Rooting for you guys.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are doing very well, and I think they're gonna keep it rolling.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then lastly, Coach Josh's game of the week.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: Springs 41, Coachella 35.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: Good game.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: Good game.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, offensive shootout, man.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_02: Classic.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_02: I love just watching, seeing their, you know, you got the the red and white from Palm Springs, and you got the green and yellow uh Cassio.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Oldest teams in the valley.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just playing for almost a hundred years.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: And they both played really well.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: I was really impressed with uh Devin Sessions quarterback for Palm Springs.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: Getting out of the pocket, getting to the edge of that defense.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_02: Palm Springs has got something, man.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_02: They they're very good.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_02: Uh he he made some outstanding plays, getting outside the pocket, like you said, keeping his eyes downfield and hitting some um wide receivers.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's you know, I talked about it last year.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's a different type of game.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes you call play, like say you got all go routes, and then you get flushed out of the pocket.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_02: Now you're running.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_02: Now the receivers got to know.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they got to go to the sideline, find a either come straight down or corner it, or find somewhere where you some way you can get open.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: And um, they were doing that.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh, he he was accurate on the move.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um, he can run if he wants.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um they got something there, so watch out for him.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: Bosh Main's a good off offense.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, they they they were going up and down on Coachella, they were attacking the edges pretty well.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, Sean Mesa, uh Showtime Mesa, that guy, that receiver, he's he's doing his thing, he had a big game.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um the running back Kennedy had a pretty good game.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, Coachella, but credit to Coachella, man.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: They would get down two scores and then they would score right back.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, Ponch Rain's kind of jumped on him 14-0, correct?
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, yeah, and then the Arabs will come back and make it make it.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: Coach Johnson was, you know, he he he he runs a ton of empty.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_02: It's and then they their counterplay is probably the timing on their counterplay just is so perfect because um if you time it right, um the running back will have the option to bounce it.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um if you hit it too early, sometimes they just kind of get to a yard.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, you want to hit counter inside, but a lot of times, man, that thing bounced outside for them.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_02: And um, it's just they they run it beautifully, and um, they were having some success with that.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_02: And of course, their screen game was um was given Palm Springs fit.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, I just like Johnson's offense so much.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's fun to watch.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: So I think his play call and kept them in there.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it came down to uh a fumble at the end, right?
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, they kind of mostly fumbled it and gave it back to Coachella, but um Garza that might be a storyline going forward.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_00: Garza kind of rolled his ankle, he was not in on that last series.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was running the ball a little bit there during the game, and it's you know, quarterback if he's running the ball a lot, those that that kind of stuff could happen.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, so that'll be something we kind of have to monitor.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully it's just a sprain.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: He was playing very well well up until that point, though.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they were Coachella's out there trying to win the game with their backup, who's very good, by the way.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: Hernandez, he's good.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's probably one of the better number twos out there, but that's such a momentum killer, right?
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_00: Especially at the end of the game, yeah.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_00: So um Coachella moves to 0 and 2, Palm Springs 2 and 1.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh Coachella's been in every game.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: They're probably gonna give this is kind of what Coachella does, though, right?
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_00: They kind of start a little slow and at the end they kind of run through league and then run through league.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: Although their league this year is not gonna be easy tasked.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're in a much tougher league this year.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: So um, but this I wouldn't panic if I was in the Arabs world right now.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're gonna be fine.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they cars is they played really well.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: Cars is a good quarterback.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: He's not gonna he's not gonna let you guys stay down for too long.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: So great uh game of the week.

• 27:32
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, start off with 29 Palms heading to Rubidou.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: Your game, uh, a winnable game for the Wildcats on the road.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Rubido can play.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_02: They got to be careful.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I hope 29 Palms wins, though.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: They got, but they they've had shown some signs of life, especially at home.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now they got to hit the road.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um, they got a passing game going.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_00: They got some athletes, they got a quarterback, they got some athletes, just depth with them.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they gotta keep their guys healthy, keep them, get them to get your horses to the race.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_02: Get that momentum early.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_02: That's it.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: And Rubidou's always been a tough place to play.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I remember playing there in the late 90s.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's an old school.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: They always, they always it's a tough environment.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: Those I wonder if they've ever fixed those lights they had out there because they had the same lights.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: They had lights that you couldn't even see the ball.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_00: It was it was pretty bad when I played, but that was a hundred.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: When you punt it, it disappears and it comes back down.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: I think they did that on purpose.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_00: We had a real hard time finding the ball one year.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but hopefully the the wildcats getting on the road.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, hopefully they can they can bounce back and get a W.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: Get a W.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: Rancho Mirage has a nice little road test.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: They haven't really traveled too far outside the valley, but this week they do.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: They're playing two Tockwits, which is always a tough place to play.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so they play them every year.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's almost turning into a little classic.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, Tockwits is pretty good.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: Are they one and three?
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_00: One and two.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_02: One and two.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_02: And and they beat um Hemet.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_00: They beat Hemett.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Which by one point, Rattlers beat them pretty handily.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_00: So I would think the Rattlers will be the favorite in this game, but you never know.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_00: And it's on the road on a Thursday, short week.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's always that always changes everything.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: So we're thinking the Rattlers, but if they do their thing, they should win.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_00: They should they should take care of Talkwitz, come back.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_02: Good opponent, but they should win.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: Come back 4-0.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: That's a heck of a start.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_00: But 3-0, trying to get to 4-0.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: Rancho Mirage.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I think you guys are a little bit the favorites on the road.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: We should handle business, come back on the happy bus ride home.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on to our Friday night games.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: And we're just going to Redlands East Val.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: So another tough opponent for those the Broncos, man.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: That offense is sizzling right now.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_02: They're a very good football team, and they're not playing like easy opponents.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: No, there's no cupcakes on that schedule.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_02: No, and and they're getting W's.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, how good are they?
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_02: Like you got to start wondering.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know their ranking, but they they gotta be in the mix for one of the better teams in this area, regardless of league.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_02: So it'll be interesting to see how things shake out as the season progresses.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: I agree.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: And they got that quarterback.
• 29:59
  unknown: Yeah.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_00: You always got a chance when you got a great quarterback.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_00: He's he's hard to beat.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_00: And he's making quick decisions.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta beat him.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: That might be a team that does something special here.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_00: We want to get ahead of ourselves.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta pay a little bit more attention to Banning just because you know they're they're putting up numbers, beating good teams.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be a problem in that league.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_00: So it's it's it's pretty exciting to see from our end.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_00: We got something to kind of talk about everyone.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_00: Looking forward to it.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: But I think they they should be the favorites again, once again on the road.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_00: So good opponent, though.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, good.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's a tough place to play.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: They're playing a lot of tough teams in their area.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: So shout out to the Broncos.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be easy.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, another Friday night game is uh here's an interesting one.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_00: Xavier Prep, who started 0-3, played some really good opponents, though, and may have turned a corner on that in that second half at Serrano.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_00: A real tough clicks to the Lions Den.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_00: Gonna play the Cat City Lions on Friday night.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: So what are you expecting in this one?
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_02: Man, I would have to, you know, I'd have to go with Xavier getting a W, but you you can't count Coach Lee out.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_02: Um they get that run game going, keep the ball away from Xavier, kind of kind of win the time of possession.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_02: I I can see them uh making it a close game, but I I would have to give the the nod to Xavier in this one.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_00: Xavier's probably pretty hungry after that tough start.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: They're starting to get all their guys back.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um but Cat City, you know, they've they're they've got a better record at this point.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, they've they've won one game.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um they found something in that second half a little bit offensively against uh Notre Dame.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_00: So I think it'll be a competitive, exciting game on Friday night.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_00: We'll we'll see who kind of good local game.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_00: Good local game to go check out at the Lions Den.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_00: Always a great place to play.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's one of the best state.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it really is.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: Still to this day.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_00: It might be not even, it's pretty old, but it's still one of the best.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, moving on, okay.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: So now we're gonna really see about our golden Eagles here.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_00: Desert Hot Springs goes to Granite Hills, which is another undefeated team.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_02: Granite Hills can play, man.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_02: But they played what was it, Shadow Hills a couple years ago?
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe maybe last year.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like 53 to 52.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_02: Right, in a shootout, right?
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so man, what a great game.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're putting up points on Desert Hot Springs gonna have their hands full.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_02: But they're playing really good defense, so I can see them getting another W.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_02: They they've shown that they know how to win those close games.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: Um that just speaks to the character of the team, and and they they believe in themselves, they never give up.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_02: So tough win.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's a tough game.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's a tough environment to go play in.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_00: Good team.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_00: Two undefeated teams.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's gonna be a great game.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm hoping we can stream it online and check it out.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, I think the golden eagles, let's get let's get that road, man.
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go beat that high desert team.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: High Desert gave it kind of gave it to us last week, man.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_00: So we gotta return the favor.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we got we gotta have a team go up there and return the favor.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_00: So we're rooting for you, maybe the golden eagles.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go, Golden Eagles.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but we'll we'll see.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a test.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on, uh, another tough road game to Western Christian this Friday.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, Western Christian is a very highly ranked uh opponent um out of uh Upland, I believe.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um and they've they've been putting up a lot of numbers offensively.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not a good one.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know who scheduled that.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they played them last year.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: Indio played them last year at home, but now they gotta go over there.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's gonna be a tough, it's gonna be a tough uh road road task for the Rajas.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_02: But it's a game you can get better, you know, even if you lose, you you can work on things and and give your your your kids exposure to playing a really good team like that.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna make you better, right?
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_00: So and honestly, the the Rajas are just looking at those last three games, all these and the Coachella game.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everything else everything's for league.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_00: Everything else is for it's just kind of warm-up preseason.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_00: Koji Doc's working stuff out.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, two and one.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's a pretty dang good start for the Rajas.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_00: Excellent start.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_00: So um, but a tough task this week.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_00: We'll kind of be monitoring that.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um another good game coming up on Friday, Palaverte Valley, who had just played a couple weeks ago at Shadow Hills, is going to uh Coachella out.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_02: Another they play each other every year.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's uh it's turned into a classic.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um always a very good game.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_02: I think Coachella's won the last couple times they played.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I I think they can get this W again.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_02: I think I they they played Palm Springs really well last week.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_02: I see them um stepping up to the challenge and getting even better this year and or this week and and beating Palavirdi.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_02: Palaverdi's they run the ball a ton, wing team.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so once you get that figured out, the offense's hands.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's tough to play against because you don't see it every week, but it's fun as a cornerback.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_02: I loved it because you get to come in little linebacker action, you're in the box, and um it it's it's a fun way um to play football, but I I still see Coachella Valley winning.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I think Coachella gets their first win.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_00: Home opener.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they haven't they've been on the road the first two weeks.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're gonna get on the the winning side this this week.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh just a question about uh Gars's health.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully he plays.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's a big that's a big clog in the offense.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_00: So um, but they got a good backup.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_00: They should be okay.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think Coachella Valley gets gets that first one this week.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so another tough opponent coming into the Valley.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_00: Colton, who just played Yucca Valley, um, is coming two points Friday night.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's an old thing.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's an old rivalry game, too.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_02: Colt Colton did it, man.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_02: They got a good quarterback.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um they can slang it five touchdowns last week against uh Yucca.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_02: They're gonna have to score some points.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's gonna be, I think it's gonna be a shootout.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_00: But Colton got a D1 quarterback coming in here.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_00: He's got a couple offers.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um Palm Springs playing good football.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_00: They've gotten better every week, so it's gonna be a good game.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think in a lot of points.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking a lot of points.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_00: Indian offense, 50-40.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of points.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_00: You get your popcorn ready, go see some offense at Palm Springs.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's good because it's gonna be a lot scored.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, tough task for the Indians.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_02: I love that matchup, though.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they they they definitely can pull it out.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: They get a couple stops.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_00: I think it'll be like the team that gets the last stop.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_00: Just like it was with uh Coachella last week.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, whoever's doing this gets that last stop.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: So probably another shootout.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_00: Looking forward to it.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_00: Another man, another good team coming down into the valley.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_00: You Kaipa, who has just played Shadow Hills last week.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_00: Beat Shadow Hills.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Now they're coming to Palm Desert.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_00: So we gotta beat these guys.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Palm Desert off of that, these two tough losses.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um last week they kind of they kind of saw a lightning fast team.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_00: And um this week they're gonna see another really good offensive team.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well coached, but they're gonna be in in their own in their own home.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_00: So they I think Palm Desert are probably the favorite in this one.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_02: They'll definitely play better than they did last week.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, and they'll be a little hungry.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_00: They've had you know, they usually don't use two in a row there in Palm Desert.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I think Coach Forty will have something for him.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_02: And they played them last year, so they'll they they know what they're running.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_02: They there's gonna be no surprises, so they'll be ready.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they got a little less speed than Victoria.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_00: So probably a lot less a lot less speed.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_00: So I think the Palm, I think the Aztecs are gonna get get off the snide this week at home.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_00: Should be an interesting one.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, okay, now we're getting into some some heavy hitters coming into the Valley.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't see this one when I first saw the schedule, but Hisperia is coming to your Lakita Blackhawks uh this week.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Hesperia, man, is a very highly ranked team.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're in the top hundred in the state at this point.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_02: Man, if you thought last week was hard for Lakita, this one's even harder.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_02: They they they're a good team, man.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: They're they're ranked high.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_02: They they always have a good football team.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_02: Hesperia plays really good football.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it's it's winnable, but it's a tough one.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they beat him last year.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_00: On the road, they beat him by like one point, I think.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: It was a close game.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hesperia's um maybe a little bit better than they were last year, though.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like they are, and the things that we've seen about Hesperia, it's gonna be a tough one for the Blackhawks.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's winnable though, so every and plus they gotta go on that two-hour bus ride, you know.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_00: Always you always gotta factor that in.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_00: And La Quinta's probably a little upset about last week's game.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_00: Probably thought they should have won that one.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so you know, they got something to play for.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, the schedule, schedule for La Quinta, man, it doesn't get any easier.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: In the next couple weeks, they're gonna learn a lot about their football team.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: So, what you want?
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_02: You're just getting ready for league.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_02: So gonna be 0-0 when league comes around.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_02: So they they could get the W.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't be surprised if they win.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go, Blackhawks.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get that, let's get that high desert team, man.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: These high desert teams are are giving us some trouble this year.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta represent.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and speaking of another uh tough game, um, Shadow Hills is going to a uh a team called Bishop in the in the Simi Valley.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_02: I've never heard of them.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_00: A good school, apparently, because they have a pretty high ranking.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_00: They play some good competition.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we looked them up a little earlier and it yeah.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_02: Hats off to whoever scheduled this game.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is gonna be another tough road game for uh Shadow Hills.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you, Coach King inherited a pretty tough schedule, man.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but this is gonna be another another test for the Knights going on the road.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's a that's a long bus ride to the up to the valley in LA.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_00: So um, you know, but hey, it's it's just about getting it.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_02: They're getting better every week, and they just gotta keep keep pounding away and chopping wood, like they say, and um, I think they'll be fine once league comes around.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: They're playing good football.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I think these kind of tough games are really just all about league, right?
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_00: Taking the Dan Armstrong approach of just scheduling games so hard in your preseason that once you get to league, it's like, oh, this is easy.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: It makes it easy, right?
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've seen it.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_02: And it works, it works.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you get you get used to a certain speed and a certain size, and all of a sudden you play league, and you're like, oh, it's a little easier.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_00: A little easier, right?
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_00: These guys have the size I was lining up against the next last week, right?
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of there's some philosophy behind it.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_00: But when you're in it as a coach, it's like, oh sh, you know, it's like a meat grinder just going from these big teams to both.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_02: Especially if you get like three or four losses back to back to back, it's it gets a little tough, but you gotta keep your eyes on the prize.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_02: There's a there's a there's light at the end of the tunnel, that's league, and um, hopefully these games are making you better and it'll be worth it.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: So and that's why you schedule.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_00: So um, but yeah, a tough one for the Knights on the road, then we'll see if they can get out there and give them victory on the road, man.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_00: Let's let's let's go out there and represent the desert.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_00: And lastly, let's move on to Coach Josh's game of the week.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_00: Which game are we picking this week?
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Yucca Valley, Desert Christian.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yucca Valley Trojans coming into Desert Christian.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_00: Why, why, why that game?
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, this is definitely a step up for competition for Desert Christian.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, Yucca Valley's looks like they're making a move.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um, they put up a toy.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_02: Play really well.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_00: Played really well against Bolton.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_02: I I think it's gonna be a boat race.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be 50, 60 points scored, both teams.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_02: I think I think it's gonna be a lot, a lot of points scored.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um man, I don't know who who to pick.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be interesting.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_02: I gotta go with uh I'm gonna go with Yucca winning just because just because I picked against them.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_02: Just because I picked against them, and I don't want them to think I'm hating on them too much.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_02: I love Yucca.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um uh Aiden Pope's can be the deal, um, the difference in the game.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_02: And um, they're playing on a Saturday.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_02: Um but the whole Valley be watching.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_02: Desert Christian could be for real, and we're gonna find out.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna uh I the most interesting thing uh to me about this is that we can finally give a comparison to other teams around here because Yucca's played everybody else.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_00: So if Desert Christian goes and does what they've done to everybody else, to Yucca, then okay, we know hey, Desert Christian might just be that team, man.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: And another another interesting thing about this game is 22 in a row of 22 in a row regular season wins for the DC Concord.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_00: So that's at stake too.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's a fantastic fact.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_00: But this is probably this is probably one of the best teams they're gonna see throughout that streak.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_00: Even though they're 0 3, they played top-end competition.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they've played the top of the DEL already, and they went to Colton and gave them everything.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_00: Aiden Poe finally starting to look like himself.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: You're starting to figure it out.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_00: It should be interesting.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_00: It should be interesting.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see if uh Desert Christian can can push around uh a bigger school now.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_00: They've been they've been beating up on guys that are not that highly ranked, but now we're gonna find out.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_00: This is what this is why we play them.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's why Coach Johnson probably scheduled this game.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, we gotta go out there and show everybody, you know.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why to me it's the most interesting.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_00: Game of the week.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_00: Game of the week, man.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: Fantastic game.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so week three shaping up to be a great one.
