• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I did go back to sleep. I was telling I said,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we get to watch football today, and it's always good
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to come over here. This is a great venue, great people.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's I'm glad that we're not rivals anymore as far
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: as in reagion play goes, because there was that factor.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But I couldn't think of a better place to come
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: over here to play a tune up game and get ready.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me ask you about that, because
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you're right, Brandon and Warren Central now not the not
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the rivals that Clinton and Warren Central is, or you
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: know with Pearl, which a lot of people don't realize.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Pearl Warren Central's a big game in a huge.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Goes back all the way to the Little Dixie days.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You know, the old timers out there listening to this,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the veterans, they know that just a slobbery knocker of affairs.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And then it got even more intense when when John
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Perry was there in the games that we had, you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: John Perry gave Josh Morgan one of his worst losses
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of all time forty two to nothing. Really, yeah, when
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Gunnar Dennis was quarterback for him, we just had a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: down year and uh, they had so much. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: John Perry had so much respect for for for Josh.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He just was dejected after the game, you know, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like you know, he he said, this will never happen again.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And but yeah, a huge rival. We love playing Pearls.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You know, it's big and we like knocking them down
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the level or two before y'all take care of them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So it's always fun to play those guys, you know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: The move to six A, I think it just fit
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: one in Central, right. I mean when the who in
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the state championship last year, in the class of it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: When I say it fits, that's not a knock at
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Warn't Central at all. Just you know, a lot of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: people had mixed feelings about the seven A classification, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I do think it helped certain teams, Warren Central being one. Look,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for Pearl, but I know
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: if you talk to a lot of people of Pearl,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: they've said, hey, we really need to be a six
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: A program. There's that opinion. And it's more so because
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of student population. You can speak on this with Warren
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Central student population and roster size.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, student population, we've seen a you know a lot
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of kids leaving the Vicksburg Warren School district go in
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: other places for various reasons. We do have two academies
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in in Vicksburg. And then we've seen, you know a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: lot of parents worked for the Army Corps engineers and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Ernic and Ergon and other places like that, and they're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: electing to be closer to the metro area and they've
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: moved their kids. So we've seen a pretty drastic or
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, a trend line of a population of our
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: students go down for us at warren't Central. I'll be
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: honest with you, we were disappointed that we were not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in seven A. We wanted to play at the highest level.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Josh never wants to back down. If you look at
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: our schedule or a non region schedule. We played Vicksburg
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: because it's a local rivalry obviously, but everyone else is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: all seven eight programs, and we want to play at
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the highest level to get you ready. And we saw
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the benefits of that last year. As we know, we
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: had a great season in region play and then we
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: were able to just cruise through the playoffs other than
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that tight game against Ridgeland, but we felt like that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: playing the tough non region schedule that we had got
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: us ready for a team like Hattisburg in a four
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: quarter grind. So but it was a blessing. You know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's helped us in all sports. It helped us in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: baseball and softball, swim, you know, so many sports. From
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: dropping down to six eight has helped us. But when
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it first happened, we were kind of disappointed.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Let's talk of Nash Morgan committed to Mississippi State. Obviously,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Misssippi State fans so obviously know that name. Cyber Morgan's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: have come through there. Josh was a big time player
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: at Missippi State in that secondary with Eugene Clinton, the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: head coach here, at Brandon that the two will square
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: off and have a little fun tonight. I remember when
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Nash was a ninth grader and saw him, I believe
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: over in Vicksburg, and you know, you saw a guy
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that was athletic, but it was coming together. But man,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: when you saw him last year, what a player. Talk
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit about Dash Morgan.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: The weight and conditioning program of spring and summer is
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: what did it for him. And he put on about
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: ten to fifteen pounds of good muscle weight and Rob
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was able to Rob Morgan, the offensive coordinator. At that point,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they felt good enough to say that was safe enough
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to run him more. And you saw what he did
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: last year. I mean he had fourteen hundred yards or no,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I think he had fourteen fifteen hundred yards rushing and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: seventeen rushing, almost twenty touchdowns on the ground. But it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: all went back to the strength conditioning program that they
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: had at war in Central which they learned when they
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: were at Misisippi State. They created something called Iron Vikings
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and All and it was based strictly off of of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: what they had the Iron Dog. You remember the Iron
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Dog from back in the day at Missisipi State. They
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: used to do the poster with all of a light
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: lighthole and the chains and all that, and Josh, Josh
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: developed that program off of what they went through and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: start Bull and it has played dividends for us. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the we had our conditioning test the other day.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I think they run twelve twelve one hundreds and gassers
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and they've got maybe, yes, twelve they have to run
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in just a short period of time, and everyone passed,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: even the lineman, which is pretty remarkable. Normally we have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: kids that fail and have to retake it. So the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: stream of conditioning is what's really set us apart, I feel,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and that's what's helping Nash. You'll watch him tonight and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: his this look at his legs like you got tree
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: trunks down there and you need that to play in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: this type of game.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So we got about two minutes left here, Brandon Davis
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: play by play Boys, Warren Central.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Not sneaking up on anybody this year. You are the hundred, hey,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and we're not gonna like that. I mean, we prefer
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to be the underdog. And that's always what Josh said,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and you'll ask him even going into the state championship
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: game and I was interviewed him about various things. He's like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just not that good of a ball program.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Come on, coach, give me something here. You can't say
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that now, very modest. So yeah, it's gonna be interesting
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to see. It's a different dynamic. You're right, How are
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the coaches gonna be able to handle that? The expectations
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and then keeping the emotions of the kids down, knowing
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that you are the state champions. But everybody, you're right,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be looking at you on Friday nights.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Well, brother, we appreciate you, wish you the best, the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Vikings the best this season.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Is great to see you today. Hey, I'm looking forward
