0:53
game's Thursday, half the game's Friday. Guys, how's it going? Guys?
0:57
Week eight incredible as time go, it just flies when you're having fun.
1:02
We just yeah, so this was our eighth show. Apparently this is
1:07
our ninth. Yeah, they have all this weird stuff now, yeah,
1:11
it's weird. You know, we had the whole discussion about week zero.
1:15
So here's my question, just opening up with this. Should we just skip
1:19
last week and not even talk about it at all because it was a brutal
1:23
week, not just for us but for our local area. Well I picked
1:26
everyone but one one. Yeah, yeah, so that was one huge,
1:32
one huge one. So yeah, we had some good Yeah. The cop
1:36
win was gigantic, and I'm sure we'll talk about the Bruins a few minutes,
1:38
but that was a good game. Yeah, it's a good game.
1:42
Good game. All right. Well, let's go ahead and hop to it.
1:44
We'll do the Thursday night games first, obviously, and we'll start in
1:47
the eight man ranks. Copanna is on the road at Watts Hornets three and
1:52
four and now two and two in district play Watts four and three, three
1:56
and one in district play. This may be a game for a play off
2:00
spot. It'll probably be a determining ballgame when that comes around here. Copin
2:04
beat South Coffeeville on the road last week sixty eight to twenty two run rolled
2:08
in first play of the third quarter. Talking to Marshall, Foreman said they
2:12
had a lot of young guys in on defense, only had I think fifteen
2:15
and their twenty twenty one guys available. Watts beat South Coffeeville. If you're
2:20
curious, twenty two to nothing mentioned Copine beat them last week sixty eight to
2:23
twenty two. Blue Jacket had kind of similar scores. Watts beat them seventy
2:28
to twenty four. Copin beat them sixty eight to twenty Copin at Watts on
2:34
Thursday night. First off, I got two thanks one schools. Get it
2:38
together, and let's get this fall break on the same week, so we
2:43
can just have one week of Thursday. This is the this is the ref
2:46
deal. Yeah, this has something. Some of them are on fall break.
2:49
All Tulsa schools are on fall break this week. Yeah, Grove and
2:52
all those places around Whaso their fall break this week. Okay, chock,
2:57
And I mean, is it it once? He's the two pretended we can
3:00
till then let's just let's just Yeah. I was keeping the governor away from
3:06
him yesterday. Yeah, you don't have to talk to really good. He's
3:09
not a very nice The second thing is, Evan, you just read a
3:15
lot of scores right there, so I can either of you, uh tell
3:20
me what that I one score one score that he read seventy to twenty four,
3:23
seventy to twenty four, Yeah, who was sixty eight twenty coach over
3:30
just so you heard who won and by house. Here's what Here's what I
3:32
heard. Okay, here's what I heard Evan say. These two teams are
3:37
pretty dangy. That's like that long story short, long story short. They're
3:42
pretty dang even and this game is gigantic. Yeah, so this evans four
3:46
playoffs three and for sure right now, So let's look up the district standings
3:52
to have them all up, because I knew this was going to come up
3:53
here. Yeah, I'm in Class C three. Copan is currently behind Boo
4:00
with Watts and Coil. Now, the Copane has played a much tougher district
4:04
schedule than those two. Sure, okay, but yes, Wats and Coyle
4:08
are both three and one, tied with Wesley and Christian technically for second.
4:13
So those are three teams type for second. You have Wilson at four and
4:15
oh and then you have Copan right behind in fifth place currently at two and
4:20
two, with Oaks Blue Jacket in Southtown beneath them all. Right, oh
4:25
boy, huge, Can we talk about some of the performances last week and
4:30
tell me this is not the coolest one of the coolest football names. Shooter
4:34
Bruington. That's huge, That is I love it too. Eleven tackles and
4:43
also had two touchdown receptions. And then our quarterback up there he was ten
4:48
for eleven for like two hundred yards with four touchdown incredible in three quarters.
4:54
I'm not a smart guy. I can't even count three cores. It was
4:57
one play, but that's really great. Yeah. And then Tigan is that
5:04
Karen Coron corone receiver, big night, one hundred and six yards, four
5:11
catches, uh, and then a couple of touchdowns. Well that's it.
5:15
I mean, that's impressive. Yeah. They're all all up for the Examiner.
5:20
They love it. That's huge. Yeah, that's big. I'm going
5:24
to tell you I don't like this being on the road, but I'm going
5:28
to go with the Hornets. And and I think the reason I'm going to
5:30
do that is because of what Evan said a minute ago. They've already been
5:33
through this game. Is that coping? So it is? Yeah, I
5:38
So now I'm all over Yeah, because they've been They've already been through the
5:43
gauntlet, and so I think they're and they're gonna know what this is for.
5:47
Yeah, and I like where they are. I'm playing taking them.
5:51
Yeah. A you guys didn't say anything about my spectacles, My glasses.
5:58
I noticed that I was going to say something and I can't agree. So
6:00
when you said I cheated, I really can't. I mean unless I take
6:03
off my glasses and I put it about this close, I can't read his
6:06
notes. I got to scratch on the eyeball. Guys. I still oh,
6:12
I hate that. No. No, I a no from the eighties
6:18
and nineties. Speaking of being tough Copan, I think is they've got a
6:25
tough match. They're at home. I really think they're playing well right now.
6:29
I mean, not that they haven't, but I think that coach Foreman
6:31
is going to have him geared up. They know, they know exactly what
6:34
they have to do, and after last week's performance, I know that it's
6:39
a lot better of opponent this week. But I think it's going to be
6:41
a tight game. But I'm picking Copan. Yeah, it's playoff. Well,
6:46
I agree with you. I think it's going to be It is going
6:48
to be a tight game. But I don't think that Wats is going to
6:53
come into copin the way Copine is playing right now and beat him, right
6:58
I mean, that's that's a challenge because they're playing well. On one,
7:00
they're healthy too, They're playing well, I mean, that's that's it and
7:04
playing for something right now, Warringtons has got to be the player. That
7:10
is a great name. Great so I'm all over copen as well. Yeah,
7:13
well I love it. They do it. They do have a couple
7:15
guys banged up, and I mentioned it during the the preview I wrote for
7:20
our website, Bartlesville Radio dot com. But Weston Aroic did not really play
7:28
in that ball game on Thursday night. Frid Trickland came in and had eight
7:33
carries sixty yards and they had a couple other freshmen play on the defensive side
7:39
of the ball too, So well they should have. They're so pretty young.
7:42
They should have pulled the grandma on Grandpa's out of the stands and let
7:44
them play the way the game went. Okay, you hopefully know what South
7:49
Coffeeville's listening to the tailgate talk. Okay, next ball game. Barnsdall and
7:55
Olive Barnsdall on the road. Panthers lost their first game last week. I
8:00
don't think the loss was all that surprising. Necessarily, the score I thought
8:03
was a little bit sixty one to fourteen. Easton Malone's kind of banged up.
8:07
They got a few guys that are banged up, that are playing through
8:09
some injuries. Talking to some people that were at that ballgame, Malone nine
8:13
hundred and ninety five yards now in the year at ten for forty six last
8:18
week. Lincoln god who played some quarterback for them, actually ran the ball
8:22
more than he did. Barnstall's now six and one, one and one in
8:24
district play. All of is four and three. They are zero to two
8:30
in district play. Wildcats lost to Yale fifty two to seven and Pioneer Pleasant
8:35
Veil forty eight to fourteen. If you want to score, compare that common
8:39
opponent Pioneer Pleasant Veil Barnsdall beat them forty two to fourteen, and again all
8:45
of lost to them forty eight to fourteen. Yep, give me the stashes.
8:48
We talked about how hard that was going to be at Region prop.
8:52
Yeah, you know, not just the trip, but the intimidation factor and
8:56
everything they were running into. They were I think they were feeling pretty good
9:01
about things and got got kind of knocked back to reality a little bit.
9:05
Yeah, but I I like them on a comeback. I know, I
9:09
don't like Easterton Malone being beat up a little bit, but that's kind of
9:11
mid season stuff. So yeah, I like the stashes to to get it
9:16
right here, all of being oh and two in district play. You know,
9:20
Nighthawk always always talks about district play being where the where the real you
9:24
know, facts come out, and and so I think I think Barstal takes
9:28
care of business. Yeah, how good is Regent Prep. I'm telling you,
9:33
I was surprised with the score. I'd me too, Agent Prep,
9:35
just because I know that they're a pretty good ball club. But gosh darn
9:39
that score. Did it surprise me? Regent Prep. Uh, we were
9:43
actually going to try to get down there and watch that game and then ended
9:48
up playing some extra holes in golf. But just because I've heard some really
9:52
good things. But I think Burnsall bounces back Malone. Gosh darn who.
9:56
We would have lost a lot of money if we said, hey, week
9:58
eight, is he gonna be a one thousand yards and he's still sitting,
10:01
you know, below one thousand. So yeah, you know, forty six
10:05
carries. That's a little concerning. But hopefully you know, the game got
10:09
away and they just kind of pulled in to kind of you know, rest
10:11
him up a little bit. But I am taking Barnstall this week. I
10:13
think they rebound. I think they know what's on the line. I think
10:18
the next couple of games, they're well coached and you know, there's some
10:22
really good players, So I'm picking Barnestell. Well, the score sixty one
10:26
to fourteen, that's really not all that concerning to me. I think what
10:30
I would look at is what was the score in at the end of the
10:33
first quarter, what was scored in at halftime? And look at that,
10:37
and because once you get into second half and you're getting flogged, you know,
10:41
you're pulling your starters, and whenever you pull your starters to put your
10:46
Tuesday in it was forty one fourteen and a half. What was it the
10:50
end the first quarter? If don't have that one, I think it was
10:52
like twenty one to seven, because I, yeah, I was watching the
10:58
score too. Yeah, But anyways, second half is you know, your
11:03
twos against their two's. I'm sure region twos are pretty good. I mean,
11:07
and be honest with the other they're probably pretty good. So I really
11:11
don't look at that. Obviously, Regent's really good. Barnstall is still a
11:16
really good team. Guys are they're six and one here? Yeah, they're
11:18
good, and they've played some pretty competitive football teams too. This this game
11:24
will not be close. Yeah, I'll tell you that right now. They're
11:28
going to flog them early and be done. Let's is that your word of
11:33
the day. Flog to flog them? Flogging flogged. I know you start
11:39
to run to the postseason this tonight. Did coach cole Ever say flogged to
11:43
you? And he probably told me I was going to flog. There was
11:46
a lot of what how I interacted with Coach Cols kind of blocked out,
11:52
Oh yeah, therapy and stuff. Let's not let's not drag him. I'll
11:56
tell you who's good. Speaking of Claren wore beat somebody like fifty one time.
12:03
Yeah, all right, I think you can over and say I think
12:07
yeah, I'll tell you somebody who's not good. Yeah, yeah, the
12:11
team got beat by I think it's life Christen. I think so, guys,
12:16
I can just tell you right now, I'm gonna get in front of
12:18
it. We're about to get in okay, yeah, okay, give us
12:24
a look. I think our listeners can whenever I can feel thanks, I
12:30
can feel it coming from it. I think they're all going. He starts
12:33
checking knobs and stuff over here. We're gonna get it. Oh you think
12:35
our listeners go? Okay? Evan anytime them? Okay? Do we at
12:41
Central k RIGG one O four point nine krig tv dot com. We're still
12:46
on the Thursday ball games Bulldoggers one and six, Central is three and four?
12:50
Do we zero and four and District play Central's one and three? Central
12:54
beat? I KNOWLA back on October the sixth, twenty two six teen.
13:00
Their losses are to Vertigous cash a Hall in Holland Hall. Dewey is coming
13:03
off a thirty five sixteen lost to my Nola. I know Coach Revard was
13:09
there. Do we got within a score in that third quarter? A touchdown
13:13
to Kevin Lynch's son. They had to pick six in there. But as
13:16
I understand it, I Knowla's scored fourteen unanswered points latter part of that second
13:22
half and ended up beating Dewey again thirty five to sixteen. And they're at
13:26
Central tonight Thursday night. Guys. You guys know I go last. Okay,
13:31
I'll let you go last. I'm taking Central. I hate it.
13:35
I've told you on this show over and over. I need Dewey to just
13:39
show us something, Just show us something, Dee, and they just they
13:45
can't seem to do it. They can't put it together for four quarters.
13:46
I want them to se badly. They've got some really good players, they
13:52
just have to have all the pieces come together. So I'm gonna take Central.
13:58
You know, when I first read this, because you know, I'm
14:00
having problems with my we heard. What it looks like is rev was there
14:03
and got a pick six. It does so, but you know because I
14:09
didn't bring it close, but I mean that impressive. I mean, you
14:11
just he not just got to pick six, he got Not only was Revar
14:15
there, he got a pick six, a field goal and a touchdown to
14:18
Lynches kid. He threw it. Bring them back. You gotta throw this
14:24
football over the mountains. Yeah, football and hit that wall one. I'm
14:28
ecstatic for Kevin Lynch's son. Obviously, Kevin and I graduated together, played
14:33
baseball, basketball, football all through as kids and through high school. So
14:39
it's really cool to see one of my buddies, you know, their son
14:41
really playing well. I'm taking Central. I think Central is a really good
14:46
team, and I think uh Dewey's still young and they might be a year
14:50
away from really having some success there. I think they'll play hard. Uh.
14:56
They always do, uh, especially with the Lynch on the team.
14:58
But I'm taking so yeah, so Lynch's son, he looks the part,
15:05
guys and plays hard. Yeah yeah. And he plays linebacker and they moved
15:09
him. This is the first time I've seen him play tight end. And
15:13
he looks good there. He looks really good, looks the part. Let's
15:16
looks like he can take the field tomorrow. I tell you what if I'm
15:20
gonna I'm the head football coach. Yes, Now, Kevin couldn't catch,
15:24
he can he can tackle. I'm ahead football coaching Bulldogs. I'm putting at
15:28
running back, really really absolutely putting probably one eighty one eighty five. He's
15:37
everybody at six foot, cut up kid. Oh yeah, yeah, he's
15:41
all ate up with the weight room. So yeah, he would be playing
15:43
running back on my football team. Yeah. Speaking of running back, let's
15:48
talk about that all right. Do Bulldoggers defensively played pretty well? Did they?
15:52
I mean they do. They do a good job Schematically, they line
15:58
up and they do pretty good job. It's a three four okay, Okay,
16:04
defensively three, I'm sorry. Offensively, they are spread and they need
16:08
to stop it, you. I mean they throw the ball. You're right,
16:15
they got a young but he can't. He can't just drop back every
16:18
play and sure slinging up here. I mean, they're just that takes years
16:22
to develop. That is tough and for And you also have to have a
16:26
great running back and a great running game and a couple of really good receivers,
16:33
which they do have a couple of kids. But guys running this spread
16:37
offense and throwing the ball eighty percent of the time at the high school level,
16:41
it does not work. I mean you look, you tell me one
16:44
football team that was has one state championship that throws the ball eighty percent of
16:48
the time. Tell me what. Well, yeah, back when Paul Smith
16:52
was quarterback and Ron was his coach. I mean that's really did they landed
16:57
at Deer Creek? They did, didn't they? Yeah? I don't you
17:03
remember. I don't think so. I don't think they did. Maybe they
17:04
were in the finals and then that's when he came over to Wasso and then
17:07
got into the semis anyway, Yeah yeah, but you just don't see it.
17:12
And you'll what you'll see is these private schools, a lot of them
17:15
throw the ball Metro Christian, for example, they throw it constantly and they
17:19
get into the playoffs and they can't win because it's cold, it's windy,
17:25
there's so many factors that go into it, and they can't run the ball.
17:29
You've got to be able to run the ball, and that's what Dewey
17:30
has got to do. If they would flip that around, run the ball
17:33
eighty percent of the time and throw it twenty percent of the time off of
17:37
play action stuff like that, they'd be successful. I really do. I
17:41
believe they could because their kids they play hard, and you know, they're
17:45
good looking kids, and you know they just I remember, and I'm gonna
17:48
tell you a quick story. In two thousand and nine went to semi finals.
17:53
Next year, we tried to run the spread and kind of do the
17:56
same stuff we did in nine inn we went one to nine. Coach Die
18:02
Beck, who's athletic director Bard of High School. Now him and I,
18:06
he's driving the yellow dog bus. We are going to play play Berry Hill.
18:11
And I always brought my lawn chair and I sat right next to him
18:14
on the bus while he drove. He drove, and I said, in
18:15
a lawn chair on the in a lawn chair right next to him. I
18:19
love it on the Yellow Dog and we're driving there and it's week nine and
18:23
my buddy, this isn't working for us. We got we gotta do something
18:27
next year. What we're going to do And we talked about for a while,
18:32
and I said, let's go back to what I know. Let's go
18:34
back to the wing tea. I know that, and we knew that we
18:37
had a group of kids that played hard, weren't great athletes, but they
18:41
played hard. And he's like, that's a great idea, let's do it.
18:45
So we worked a whole off season going back to the wing tea and
18:49
we ran it out of the gun. But our whole thing was we wanted
18:52
to run the ball and eighth the clock played. Yeah, be really good
18:56
on defense and really good on special team. Yeah, you wanted to win
18:59
ten seven exactly, that would be fantastic. And we did that, and
19:03
we took that group of athletes and they were not they were not very good
19:07
athletes, but they played hard and were great. Exactly in that group,
19:12
we went six and four in the regular season in a tough district and got
19:17
beat by Victory Christian in a close playoff game. And those kids shouldn't have
19:22
been in the playoffs. Nothing. But it just goes back to do what
19:26
your dictates exactly. I talked, don't try to make the kids fit the
19:33
system. Let the system develop with the kids you've got and see what they
19:37
can do. Yeah. I talked about coach PARKT Spurrey. He's he's one
19:40
of the best football coaches in the state of Oklahoma because he will take a
19:44
group of kids. You never know what he's gonna run from year to year,
19:47
because he's gonna say, well, that kid is really good at pulling.
19:49
Okay, you know, we're gonna run the balls. No, there's
19:55
not. They think that they want to run. You know, what they
19:57
see on TV or whatever somebody else is doing, and it's working for somebody
20:02
else, it's gonna work for us. No, that's not true. So
20:03
anyways, that's my spill on that. But that is cool. The Bulldogs
20:07
still the Bulldogs are playing Central and Tulsa Central has some athletes. They have
20:12
two really good receivers. They're about six to one, the other one I
20:15
think is six to two, and they can run real fast and jump thro
20:18
high and they're gonna have a hard time. Yeah, So they're gonna have
20:22
a hard time at Central, So I'm gonna take Central. Yeah, and
20:26
I think you brought up some great points. Is that? I mean common
20:30
denominator. It's been around as long as football is play good defense and if
20:33
you can run the football as well, that's right, you're gonna be competing.
20:37
And you know you see that in NFL now. I mean, yeah,
20:40
we got these run guns. But the team that can run the ball
20:42
and play good defense, that's it, or they're gonna win a lot of
20:45
games. I watched the Bills play Saturday. They ran the power four times
20:48
in a row, the exact same play times in a row. Block down,
20:52
pull the guard, kick out there. They go, yep, yeah,
20:56
sturdy, but yeah all right. Knicks ball game Bartlesville at Sand Springs.
21:00
This is the final Thursday night ballgame. Game will carry forty U K
21:03
one AM, fourteen hundred FM, ninety three point three ninety five point one
21:07
video coverage, K one TV dot com. Boy. The Bruins came within
21:12
an eyelash of a pretty big time win this past Thursday, fourteen to ten
21:17
loss at home to Stillwater. It was seven to nothing at halftime, seven
21:21
to seven after the first drive of the third, Bartlesville got up ten to
21:23
seven started the fourth, and it stayed ten to seven Bartlesville until Stillwater had
21:29
an eighty one yard touchdown drive kept off with a touchdown the minute sixteen left
21:33
that would win it. Bartlesville now three and four, three and one in
21:37
district play. Sand Springs is four to three. Sandights are two and two
21:41
in district play. Their wins are over Tallaguah forty one to seven and PC
21:45
West thirty nine to fourteen. Sandites losses or to Muscogee fifty one to thirteen,
21:52
and then thirty five to eighteen at Stillwater. The week prior to that
21:55
Bruin Pioneer Ball game, Bartlesville, if you remember, got down twenty nine
22:00
to seven in this game a year ago before. They scored twenty two unanswered
22:03
and brought it to overtime. They would end up losing an overtime at home
22:07
to Sand Springs. Bartlesville at sand Springs, that's it. I just don't
22:18
know what to do here, and I don't know where to start. Sitting
22:22
up there watching that last week was just it was hard. It was you
22:27
know, I said this, and I'll interject this, and then you can
22:30
go this is my tenth Bartlesville football season, and outside of that loss to
22:36
Bixby in the Semis, that's about as gut wrenching as a god, because
22:41
you really felt like they were a play away from knocking off the defending state
22:48
champions. They're gonna finish first or second of the day. You know,
22:51
you can see it all right there, and then just a couple of plays
22:53
go the wrong direction and they had a really good chance. I don't think
22:56
I don't think very many people thought that game was going to be that close,
23:00
and their defense played out of their mind. I mean the deep the
23:03
defense played. Really the defense played out of it. They really did.
23:07
They could not gain a yard I think in the second half going into that
23:11
final drive bartles felt it out gained them one eleven to twelve in the second
23:17
half. Heartbreaking. It was. And you know, Nighthawk and I disagree
23:22
on on the interference call on third and seventeen. I've seen the tape over
23:27
and over and it it does not appear to me to be a very you
23:33
know, callable offense at that point in the game. I just don't know
23:38
that the that the flag makes a lot of sense. There there was one
23:41
earlier that they actually didn't call that I thought was way more obvious than the
23:45
than the second one doesn't matter, and then they get the you know,
23:48
ensuing a late hit on the sideline, and and you just had a feeling
23:55
at that point that it was that it was over. And I hate it
23:59
for the team, I hate it for the defense. However, I got
24:03
to say this, and I hope that that I know that Harry will have
24:06
said this all week. All of their goals are right in front of them,
24:10
and this Sand Springs team is really good, and so if they can
24:14
go to Sand Springs and get something done here this week, they are right
24:18
where they want to be, no problem, leave still Water alone. Everything
24:22
they want to achieve is right in front of them. And this Sand Springs
24:26
team lost to two really, really good teams, so I'll be eager to
24:32
see how they play. But the Bruins, really, I think last week
24:36
found out something about themselves and I'm hoping that can translate into into this game
24:41
this week. I'm taking them as always, but I gotta something. I
24:47
know we sit in here and I do that every week. I really believe
24:49
they can win this game, and if they can, I think they can
24:53
really have some momentum going into the especially if Nate and Neil's coming back.
24:57
Although I got to tell you Brett e again last week played great. You
25:03
know who's gonna play quarterback this week? I don't think he's going to say,
25:07
but I think I think if Nate. I think if Nate Neil is
25:11
available, he will play. Would be because then you're able to put Eves
25:14
back at That is absolutely right, And they feel huge, huge with what
25:18
they did over the summer and how much they've done with him and those wide
25:22
I just think they feel more comfortable with him passing the ball. That's really
25:26
it. Well, and I've talked to several players when you know, obviously
25:29
losing your quarterback stinks. Stinks. However, losing your safety that is really
25:37
good back there because he has to play quarterback. Yeah, I mean to
25:40
get him back at safety. I think they're going to welcome that. Yeah,
25:45
so you're taking them because he's got a lot more to top game.
25:48
I mean, yeah, that's a good that's a good first off. First
25:52
off, they did play. You know, as I'm watching the Bulldoggers,
25:56
I'm watching the Bruins on my phone, and the defense came up big.
26:00
You know that Stillwater's first drive, they take it right down the field.
26:03
It was like a hot knife, Nate Butter. Yeah, they hold him
26:06
at the three and so, and then Steelwater Russ the punter Marvel gets it
26:11
back kind of gets I'm glad you mentioned that. Let's give a prop to
26:15
Brax the Decker No, who made the game winning field goal the week prior,
26:19
and then is picking up a ground ball, side stepping a guy getting
26:23
the punt off, and then taking a late hit all and by the way,
26:27
I said this up in the booth that night, I said, nobody's
26:32
gonna remember this because of the roughing. It was like a sixty five yard
26:36
punt. Yeah. Yeah, he was while he was about to get nailed.
26:40
I mean he he freaking roped that thing. If it's a lesser athlete,
26:44
that's a touchdown for Stillwater. I mean, it's just a ground ball.
26:48
He also, let's not forget I know he missed it, but let's
26:52
not forget they set Decker out for a fifty yard field goal. That's that's
26:56
how much he's That's how much he's given. The oach is confidence. Yeah,
27:02
but defensively, holy smokes, that's that's the best I think I've ever
27:04
seen Bartosville play defensively. I mean it was impressed. Obviously you weren't watching,
27:10
it was impressive. Yeah, I'm sorry, but they played well offensively.
27:15
They just couldn't, you know, get it going until they're late in
27:18
the second half and got it going a little bit. But it was a
27:22
heartbreaker, but you know, get past it, you know, take take
27:26
all the positive take all the positive things out of that game, and go
27:30
play the next one. And the next one sand Springs, which which I
27:33
think is a very similar opponent and going theres is tough, but who cares,
27:41
you know, Barters was. I think that those kids got the mentality
27:42
right now that they can they can play with anybody that they have left on
27:47
their schedule. By the way, Hainsinger, Pew and would were, I
27:51
think all three on that deal you know where you can vote for the player
27:55
of the week defensive players they played. Yeah, well I'm taking the Ruins
28:00
at Sand Springs tomorrow on Wow. Nice like it? That tells me something.
28:06
Yeah, I agree with Hey, coach Mac Butler told me to tell
28:10
you, hi, Oh he's the best. Where'd you see Mac? He
28:12
was at the game? Oh yeah, he's their ops guy. No,
28:17
he's their assistant AD. Yeah, he was my position coach in Tulsa direct
28:21
Silver Street. He's the greatest. He looks great, but he became director
28:25
of football operations at OSU and now he goes. I just couldn't stay started.
28:29
He's seventy two years old, and I'm telling you he looks right.
28:33
I know he does. But anyway, he's we were He was very complimentary
28:37
of your PA skills heartbreaker, because gosh darn it, they played well enough
28:45
to beat him. Rod Nichols. You know, coach Nichols is the DC
28:48
over there. So I'm not a I'm not a big We're not fanc and
28:55
gosh darn it, for several reasons. We I wanted Barzla to win.
29:00
But you know what, here here, here's some really good things. And
29:02
I'll just cut right to the jays. I was pretty tough on Barzowe last
29:04
week. And you know, I don't think you should say tough. No,
29:08
I think it was fair motivation. It was tough, but I thought
29:12
about that. I thought about that, and if I if I'm coach right,
29:15
I play what you said to those kids. I know I played it
29:21
for a bunch of people. Just this is friends of mine. I'm a
29:23
former player right here. I know this is what they're saying. Right,
29:27
it was tough, rev, but it was fair. It was right on
29:30
the I agreed that it was fair tough. The thing that I liked is
29:34
that, you know, when the even though they lost the buy in factor
29:37
of playing really hard and doing things the right way. I know we had
29:41
a couple unsports don't know, but that's better than five or six it was
29:45
they had, but it was a clean game they had that one is it
29:49
was on still water something. You're right if that's on brutes, yeah,
29:52
you're right. They don't call it it was. It was a clean game,
29:56
it was, and I got to give credit words due. It was
29:57
a clean game. But hopefully there's a little b I am from the kids
30:00
going hey, let's go out and do this thing. So sand Spring is
30:03
going to be a tough opponent. Coach Clink's down there. One of my
30:06
old colleagues buddies. Coach Krager, a former Charsel player, is the DC
30:12
there. They're going to be ready to play. It's at sand Springs,
30:17
but here Barcelow is a better football team. And if kneel's back and you
30:21
put Eaves back at safety. I like, barbiswill to go win this and
30:26
gets them in the playoffs. So pig Barbinsville. You know it's tough for
30:30
Sand Springs to prepare for Warnersville this week. Who do you prepare for that?
30:33
It's a distraction. I mean he only played quarterback for what one game?
30:37
Is that? Right? You got her half a game? Half a
30:40
game, so they have no idea what the offense really looks like with him
30:45
in the ball. And when a team is preparing that way for two quarterbacks,
30:48
it does. It's one of those distractions that we talked about when we
30:51
played Archie Bradley, he was on the injured and this is first playoff game.
30:56
Yeah, so they weren't. I mean they were the number two,
30:59
were number one, we were number four. We had to practice for both
31:03
quarterbacks and it just defensively, it just throws a wrench in there. Yeah.
31:07
So it's not a smooth but I'm picking Barzooa. Let's go Barbrazia.
31:11
Let's go all right, that does the Thursday night ball games. Let's go
31:14
to Friday. And I did forget to put Caney Kansas on the sheet,
31:18
So we'll go off sheet for the first one. Bullpups are at home against
31:22
Reverton and that is a big, big game. They're three and oh in
31:25
district play. Caney Valley beat Fredonia thirty five to nothing last week. Reverton
31:30
is four and three. They are also three and oh in the districts.
31:33
That is for the district championship. This one is in Caney. As far
31:38
as common opponents, they both played Diota se Reverton beat the Blue Streaks thirty
31:44
six nothing, Kenney Valley beat them forty eight to six. They both played
31:48
Cherry Vale. Riverton beat them fifty two to nothing. Kenney Valley beat them
31:53
forty two to six. And there's one other common opponent in there as well,
32:00
and I'm too stupid to figure it out. So now this is this,
32:02
So don't be so tough, don't before the district champions the last their
32:07
last game of the seast regular season game. Oh how exciting is that?
32:12
Yeah? Big, one hundred percent wow? And it's in Canny bull Pups,
32:15
Bull Pups, Bullpups, go get them pups. Is this? I
32:19
mean? Could be Game of the week that and copan Yeah, uh,
32:24
I think Clarmore's quid. Oh it's a good one too. That's a good
32:28
one, Okay, all right. Caney Valley, Oklahoma at Salina Trojans oh
32:34
and seven. Uh. They lost last week the eighty Air forty two to
32:37
eight. Solina is oh and three in district play as well. The Wildcats
32:42
are three and four overall. They have losses to eighty Air, Sequoia and
32:45
Bahaska and District play Boy. This is actually a pretty jump one to pick.
32:52
I'd like to see Canne Valley get right, not not sure. I'm
32:57
not sure it's going to happen this season. I'm probably gonna take so line
33:00
of here. Yeah, Canny Valley's just got to keep getting through this year
33:04
and getting experience. They're getting better, though, Yeah, they're I mean,
33:07
I know when you're oh and seven. That's I'm not being sarcastic.
33:13
They are getting better. You can tell. Those younger kids are getting the
33:15
reps and they're become veterans now. So I'm still gonna take Salina. Gosh,
33:21
darn. I hope. I hope they get a win before the end
33:22
of the season. But you know what, the valuable experience are going to
33:25
pull out of there and preparation for next year, you're exactly, Yeah,
33:30
that's the experience is gonna be a huge deal and going in the off season,
33:34
you know, and they need to really focus on getting in the weight
33:37
room and getting ready for the next season, which we all know they're going
33:40
to be a lot better next year. Sure, they just got to get
33:43
through this season playing slines line is tough to line is oh and three in
33:46
the district, but they've also played eight air clamors Quoya of Husky. Yeah
33:50
they Yeah, that's one, two and three in the district right there that
33:53
they have to play. So unfortunately, I'm gonna have to take Slonia Salona
33:59
as well Yah Oklahoma Union at Shoto Maze Cougars oh and eight oh and four
34:04
in district plays show too, Maze's two and five. They're one and three
34:07
in the district. Wildcats win is versus Chelsea twenty to nothing. They have
34:13
a twenty seven nothing lost to Tonko of thirty six to eight lost to Woodland
34:16
and a forty six to eight lost to Pawnee, Oklahoma Union. Well,
34:20
I believe have a chance to win this game ore against Chelsea. In week
34:23
ten, they have Pawnees Sin whitched him between there, but they probably play
34:28
the Uh if Oklahoma Union's not eighth in the district, they play the six
34:31
and seventh. You know, six, seven and eight play each other when
34:35
Oklahoma Union plays show Toe Maize on Friday night and then Chelsea in week ten.
34:40
If this was at home, I might have I might have taken the
34:43
Cougars to get a to get their first win of the season. It's on
34:46
the road, though, and I don't like that showto has a couple of
34:50
wins already. I'm I'm taking shote mazee man. I'm still pull the Cougars
34:55
again. I went right to it last week and sure, yeah, anyway
35:00
way, I think they'll figure it out, just not this season. I
35:04
would agree with you being on the road and show too. I mean,
35:07
that's that's over an hour drive, isn't it from Oklahom you know. I
35:10
mean it's straight down one, six, nine and then over to the you
35:15
know, I don't like those long bush rides, and uh, you know,
35:19
once again, it's that valuable experience. But I don't think this is
35:22
a week that they get their first win. So I'm going to show too.
35:24
I'm going against you, guys. I'm gonna take the Cougars, Cougars
35:28
wing to take them going again. I just have that feeling feeling. Is
35:32
that week for the Cougars? Yeah, I love it. Yes, I
35:36
got a little insight from buddy mind, Mark Huntington, and uh I'm gonna
35:40
take the Cougar Okay, I like it. Yeah. And if they win,
35:45
then you guys have to buy me. Okay. Uh us, Hey,
35:52
I'll tell you this if you guys, excuse me. If you guys
35:54
win, then I bring the donuts next. Okay, Well, I trust
36:00
sausage drafts. I'll tell you this. I can trust Markhuntington. So there
36:02
may be something here night, HOWK Yeah, I like it. Okay,
36:06
I like it. I Hey, we're all pulling for him. Sure.
36:09
I think regardless, they'll have a chance against Chelsea. All right, I
36:13
really do believe that that last game that'll be in Linnipol No Water. Rejoice
36:17
Christian. This is the Friday night game on k RAG one four point nine
36:21
kraktv dot com. Ironman have lost three in a row, fell to at
36:24
Sequoia last week, sixty to fourteen. No Water is three and four overall,
36:30
one and three in district play. Rejoicees four and three and two and
36:34
two in the district. They've lost to the line in eight air and beat
36:37
Venita and Sequoia. What's going on with our ironmn here, guys, I
36:42
don't like this street. The schedule got a lot to no shit because Rejoice
36:46
Christians. Darn good they are. They're down what they have been, but
36:52
yeah they're still good for fourteen. Yeah, they're really good. You know,
36:55
their facilities are just outstanding in the state. Guy right, same guys
37:00
the fence guy, Yep, it's awesome. Yeah, it's a great place.
37:05
Have you seen you know they got two turf football fields. Yes,
37:07
it's a great and one hundred yard indoor. Yes. Yeah. We played
37:10
their youth football last year. And I walk in and I'm like, yeah,
37:15
I slid from you know, many times from the highway, but boy,
37:19
it's impressive. It's unbelievable. You know. It's a difference here between
37:23
a community like a Wasso in a community like Claremore is they don't call this,
37:28
you know Clairemore rejoice. Yeah, yeah, well I rejoice Christian.
37:34
Yeah, I think they do a little bit, but it's just not on
37:36
the well. I'm taking rejoice here. I want I want the iron Man,
37:40
Ironman to win this game. I'm pulling for him. But but Rejoice
37:45
is a really good football team and I think they're gonna do it. Yeah.
37:49
Coach Martley at Rejoice then he started pretty much started the program there and
37:52
built it up. He used to coach at Victory Christian and we used to
37:57
flogg him. I used to love it. I remember screaming across the field
38:00
from him one year, right before halftime and I screamed across the field,
38:05
quit throwing up football. Yeah, because we just kept intercepting running a back
38:09
and you're trying to coach his team. Yes, a scream quick on the
38:15
ball. And then we go in at halftime and it was one of our
38:17
players birthday and we ate birthday cach. Oh wow, it was that bad.
38:22
That is a flogging. It was a flogging. But now he's that
38:25
Rejoice. He's got some great players and unfortunately he lost his starting quarterback,
38:30
which he is. His son, which is going I believe, to the
38:35
Naval Academy. No, he's not. What's that Colorado Springs Air Force Air
38:42
Force air Force. Yeah, he's going to the Air Force Academy to play
38:45
football. He's he's an athlete, but he blew his acl the gay one.
38:50
It was horrible. But they're still really good and iron Men are going
38:53
to have a hard time with them. So I'm taking the Joye. I
38:58
agree with you. I think no is gonna have a tough time this week.
39:00
They're I mean, Rejoice. I'm just so impressed with the program that's
39:05
that's being built there. They I mean last year they had or was it
39:08
the year before, they had a couple of Division one receivers out of there.
39:12
They had Vision one quarterback. Okay, yeah, yeah, my nephew
39:15
played receiver there. He wasn't a Vision one. He was. He was
39:17
good. Yeah, Okay, I mean it's just impressive. But I gotta
39:21
go with Rejoice this week. Yeah, all right, everyone picks against the
39:24
Ironman final game Bahasca and Claremore Sequoia Sports Talk ninety nine point one FM,
39:30
KPGM, video coverage, KPGMTV dot Com. This will be a good one.
39:36
I think. I think we have a handful of really good ones in
39:39
the schedule. This is one of them. Huskies have won three in a
39:42
row. They beat Salina last week forty four to twelve. Bahasca is now
39:45
four and oher In district play. Sekoya is two and two. Both teams
39:50
are five and two over all. They haven't played a lot of the same
39:53
opponents. Sakoya's losses are to eight Air and Rejoice, Sequoia's wins over Solina
39:59
and no And the scores. Sequoia beat Salaona thirty four to eight, BAHSCA
40:07
beats Salaina forty four to twelve, Sequoja beat No Wada sixty to fourteen,
40:13
and Bahasca beat No Wada fifty to six. So, uh, those are
40:15
your score comparison. This is going to be a really good game against two
40:22
really good coaching staffs. Rob Gaalberth, who is the head coach at Sequoia,
40:28
and his offensive coordinator Brandon Feast have been around for a long time and
40:34
they are really really good football coaches. We obviously know how great Pahusca is
40:37
coached, so and we always talk about the two point conversion. Hey,
40:42
you got to be ready for it and all that stuff like that. They'll
40:44
be ready for it. They'll be prepared for everything. So it's it's gonna
40:50
be a This is going to be a great game, guys, and I
40:52
would love to go over and see this game. Matter of fact, I
40:54
think I will. Now that Barsville's playing Thursday, I think we when we
40:58
go to Bardisville, and then I think, I'm you're going to Sand Springs.
41:00
Yes, I'm going to Sand Springs. So but I think this is
41:05
this is gonna be one that I'm gonna have to go watch. I'm gonna
41:07
take Phuska because I think Huska has the better athletes here. I think Canon
41:15
Hineman played very well last week and he has really turned it on. So
41:19
the kid for first year starter is and this late in the season, has
41:22
approved so much, and they they are just gonna really out athlete them.
41:30
And I think they're just gonna play harder. Klamer Schooy's kids are are They're
41:34
always really good athletes, but sometimes they don't they don't play real hard.
41:37
And so I'm taking Basco Huskies here. Okay, all right, I agree
41:44
with you. I think it's gonna be a great game. If you're a
41:45
football fan, you're in northeast Oklahoma, you should make the track over to
41:49
watch him play because these are two, like you said, two great staffs.
41:52
Uh boy, there's a lot on the line here, uh playoff seating
41:57
and to be able to host a game. So I mean, I mean
42:00
that's big to be able to host the game. Let's talk about the playoff
42:04
and then what can you go ahead? While he's looking this up, Let's
42:07
let's talk about the playoff situation after you. But we weren't gonna leave you
42:10
out on no, no, no, I wonder I'm gonna go against.
42:16
I'm gonna go against what you guys are saying. I haven't picked yet,
42:22
you haven't now, but go ahead. Well, I'm gonna tell you.
42:25
I don't think it's gonna be a good game. And I think Puhuska is
42:29
gonna whip them. Oh I do, Yeah, I think I think it's
42:34
pu Husca easy here. Just yeah, I think they're that much better and
42:37
I think they're dialed in. Wow. Interesting. Yeah, I am picking
42:42
Bosco as well. But I think it's gonna be it's gonna be a fourth
42:45
quarter type uh game. Yeah, meaning that the last four or five minutes,
42:52
whoever has the ball, whoever can make a big play, whether it
42:54
be special teams or on defense or offense, is going to win the ball
42:59
game. I think it's going to be that tight. I think it's going
43:00
to be a you know, twenty eight twenty four ball game. But I'm
43:04
picking Pasca, I can promise you right now. Sequoia has the Hominy tape
43:07
and the Woodland Day. They've got the of course, that's how old school
43:12
we are now we still call them tapes. I love they got. They
43:15
got the you're gonna get the tape. They've got the tapes. I mean
43:20
the clicker they went on Saturday morning and traded that it's a grocer at the
43:24
That was the worst, getting on the road and going to exchange tape.
43:28
I always got picked for the furthest ones too. When I was up wagoner,
43:31
I had to do it every Saturday morning at six o'clock in the morning,
43:37
and we would get home and Brute live off about four hours of sleep.
43:40
Yeah, it was horrible. That's like to drive back from Enid and
43:45
then having to wake up at five o'clock five thirty and get on the road
43:47
to go exchange tape. So how don't what a great adventure? The greatest
43:52
thing ever? So in two A eight, Bahaska and eighty are both four
43:55
and ol uh Pasca ends the season. However, at Clamore, Sequoia.
44:01
That's the game we just talked about at home. Against eight Air, the
44:05
team that they're tied with, and then at Rejoyce Christian Wow eight Air of
44:10
course four and oh they have the need at home at Bahusca and then no
44:14
Wata at home. So as far as strength of schedule that goes, Bhuska's
44:19
got the harder strength of schedule. They play each other, and then you
44:21
have Clamore, Sequoia and Rejoice and Venita all three tied at two and two.
44:27
So one of those three teams isn't going to make it at district history.
44:34
Really we are week eight now they still don't it. You could grant
44:37
it or you could be out right yeah no, barswol White football tough district.
44:44
But I will say this scheduling is on the side of Bahusca because they
44:50
were younger going in the season and now they're getting I mean, the next
44:52
three games are gonna be tough opponents. But it's worked out in his favor
44:57
because now they've got six seven games, a lot of playing time. That's
45:00
true. Quarterbacks starting to come on at home. That's huge, that's huge.
45:06
At eight Air started the season oh and three it's crazy, I know,
45:08
yeah, and got beat by teams that weren't they lost to Jay Keefer
45:15
and Locust Grove all by no less than fourteen points. Yeah, yep,
45:21
I turned it on over there. You notice that how much though we've talked
45:23
about Swinging Gate, how often we're seeing it now on Saturdays and Sundays.
45:28
Deon Sanders is running it. Isn't it great? It's great? I hate
45:31
it, but it's great. It's great. That's all the ball games,
45:35
guys, Okay, Brew and White? Oh yeah, can you help us
45:43
explain? We just it was one of those days. Skytok is Well,
45:46
I got to watch the film with them. Yeah, yeah, it was
45:50
great. Yeah yeah. Ref came over during our film session. I wonder
45:52
why, well, man, we're you know, I have no pride and
45:58
so if I can reach out to better coaching mate, absolutely so. He
46:01
kind of gave me something insight. And that's you know, they're in third
46:06
grade, right, it doesn't matter? Yeah, what's it matter? It
46:08
doesn't matter. Just that's super bad. Listen, Rev, I hope i've
46:13
been scouting team Rev. I hope your film consulting career for uh little kids
46:20
really takes off. I'll tell you this, after What's little film with them
46:24
and saw how they do it? Yeah, Bruin football has a bright future,
46:30
no doubt. I want Night Hawk and and his coach staff get big
46:35
head. But these guys are working hard to teach these kids seriously. And
46:39
I got home and I told my wife. I was like, it's impressive
46:44
what these kids their knowledge already and third grade of football awesome, and what
46:49
they're Oh yeah, I love it. It's it's that's what you have to
46:53
have. You've got to build and if every group can do that, holy
46:58
smoke, you have the week we've got. Wagner back on your point that
47:05
that class, there's three teams. Uh, they've got some really good players
47:09
on all teams, and they're all coached. Well, they're all bought in
47:14
and they love playing for their coaches and playing for the Bruns and uh.
47:17
But yeah, and most importantly, one of the things you know that Harry
47:21
is doing with all these guys is there's three teams and they're all saying the
47:24
same stuff. They're all, you know, getting getting better. Well yeah,
47:30
I don't know, but yeah, Well here's here's what I did.
47:32
Went with my youth football coaches. Whenever a kid would transit, kids would
47:37
transition from sixth grade to seventh grade if they had, you know, a
47:39
really good team whatever. I would go to those coaches and say, okay,
47:44
you tell me what was your terminology? Yeah, and how did you
47:47
call things and what did you do? It was a lot easier for us
47:52
as coaches to change than have all the kids change. So that's what we
47:55
did. So there's a lot of times we would call things or you terminology
48:00
that their coaches used and use that because it was so easy for us to
48:05
change rather than those kids to change, especially when they've had this success like
48:08
you know, this whole third grade program hasn't in all the programs, so
48:13
all of them. It's really cool to see what's going on with youth football.
48:15
And we do use the terminology at the high school. We just dumb
48:17
it down obviously. But big week, we got to win the next two
48:22
to get in. I mean, that's all we're focused on, is to
48:24
get in the playoffs, and not that it's going to make or break our
48:27
season, but setting the expectations for these kids that to be a playoff team
48:30
and to be disappointing if you don't get them. Yeah, sure, I
48:32
mean it just we ingradeed expectations. But thanks for that's Hey, Evan,
48:37
I would I did want to tell you that. When I went to the
48:42
do Iola game, I talked to a lot of the Iola people that I'm
48:44
close with over there, and it was amazing to me how many of the
48:49
people Iola listened to Telgates. Oh there we go. Really it was unbelievable.
