WEEK 7 REVIEW: Ladue wins Suburban Super Bowl in Overtime, De Smet comeback win, Lutheran North wins shootout, CBC MCC champs · Gateway Sports Venue Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show. We have
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: some explaining to do. Because we were absent last week
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for the first time, I think, ever. I think this
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: might be the first time we've never recorded.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: A podcast in one week.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: During the season.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: During the season, yeah. I was fully healthy. Roman wasn't
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: so much. He got hit by a little injury bug,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: which was his strep throat.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: I was out of town and I was super sick.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: still trying to fight off some illness. We're getting through it, though.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: We're fighting.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: I would like to personally apologize to our very loyal
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Rittner Husky contingent because I was so happy and prepared
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: to congratulate you guys on last week's episode, but I
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: was unable to do so. I'm so sorry for that,
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: but congratulations for your huge rivalry win. I just wanted
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: to point that out. I think in week six... recap
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: stuff I should mention real briefly, other than the glorious
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Rittner victory.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And nothing against Paddleville.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was just a super exciting game, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Rittner finally got the win, and, you know, it's better
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: for us when we have rivalries like that that have
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: a good back and forth.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Like, you know, it's not usually healthy if every rivalry
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: turns into just a one-sided rivalry.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Because it's not very competitive. There's not as much vitriol
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: between those teams. It's not as fiery, but.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And then I guess we'd be remiss not to include
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: O'Fallon since they beat Edwardsville.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: That was the first time.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: They lost four in a row over them, and so
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: they finally got them back. So congrats to the Panthers.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And fortunately for them, they didn't have such a good
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: week this week, and we'll talk about that a little
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: bit too.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's... Those were like the only big storylines
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: in week six.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It was, yeah.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So again.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Nothing crazy in week... Well, the Pattonville game was... Rittner
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: game was pretty crazy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: But other than that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I apologize for having to miss a week. That's very
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: bad and I will hope to never do that again.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, hey.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: But if I had to miss a week, this week
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: would have been it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It was a good one. It was a good week
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to miss.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: It was not that much action compared to say week one,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: week two, this past week actually.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: So I'm glad I'm back where I am because this...
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: past week seven was pretty crazy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I also got to apologize myself because I forgot my
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: memory card for my camera. And I realized it when
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I was, uh, literally at the last possible moment when
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you could realize it, when, um, I tried to start
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: pressing the record button and didn't, nothing happened.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And then I opened my little compartment and.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's like, Oh no. Um, Yeah, so I immediately wanted
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to feel like leaving, but I'm like, you know what? Actually,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this is probably a Rittner game.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: So it's like, you know what?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: This will probably be the only time all season I'll
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just get to watch a game with my own eyes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And so I did, and I'm glad I did. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I actually was able to get a lot.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Of good video of the game on my phone and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: got some good post-game content that some of you guys
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: may have seen.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: The Rittner players literally surrounding my little iPhone. Yeah. That
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: was a fun clip. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So, got them, like, they gave, like, a Gatorade shower
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to Coach Kirksey after the game and then were high-fiving their,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you know, their classmates in the stands.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That was really cool. It was a great homecoming win
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: for Rittner.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's top five regular season win ever for them.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's... I mean, yeah. Homecoming, rivalry, last-minute field goal.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You're right. I mean, they haven't had... you know, I think,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I think they've.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Only won like three conference championships in the entire history.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So that's a big win, especially over a Pat and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the team who is undefeated and probably would have been undefeated,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like undefeated the rest of the season had they've gotten
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: past Rittner.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yep. So that's four minutes efficiently wasted from last week.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And now let's get into this.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Week, which the game you were at last night, uh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: game of the year contender for sure.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Is, I would say right now it is the game
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of the year. Um, Although East St. Louis, Mount Carmel,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that's a really good one.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I said contender. I didn't say it was the game
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of the year.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It didn't have quite the finale that the Ladue-Eureka game had. Obviously,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I went to the Ladue High School. That was a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: pretty cool memory for me personally. I'll tell you what.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I was going to be proud.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: No matter what, no matter the score, because I was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: prepared to feel like, you know, I was prepared to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: lose a little bit because I knew Eureka was really good.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And I just want to say real quick that, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and I said this more or less so on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: story last night on Instagram that, you know, I can go,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we can go and claim that we as in Ladue,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: people can claim that Ladue's a better team.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Than Eureka because we beat them.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But I truly feel like they're equals.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And so I don't, I don't really want to say that, like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know, hey.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Ladue's the best team and, like, this side of the,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, best public school team besides Jackson on this
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: side of the state because Eureka is certainly, definitely deserves
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to be in that same conversation as well because, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the game went to overtime and Ladue just made one
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: more play.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And it's what it came down to.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And it's a, you know, it's a program-changing victory for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Ladue because they were able to beat a well-oiled Eureka machine. And, uh,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: so having said that, um, yeah, it was the finals, 40, 37,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: we'll do Rams over the over time, Eureka Wildcats and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: overtime and the game dictated by offense. I mean, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, Zach Kemp for Eureka Emmett McIntosh will do
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: both show that they're two of the best quarterbacks in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the area.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. You know, Kim, uh, through a few touchdown passes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: 16 of 18 for Kim.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Sounds about right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Um, I know one of his passes was deflected at
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I remember that. Extremely efficient from him.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: He also had 174 rushing yards, over six yards per carry.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I was about to say he must have had over
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: 100 rushing yards.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I think he had one touchdown run, and then he
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: threw for two touchdowns himself. And then McIntosh had four touchdowns,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: no interceptions. McIntosh is now the first ever Leduc quarterback
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to throw four touchdowns in three consecutive games. Wow.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He's now got 21 on the season to just one interception.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: McIntosh family has produced some good QBs for Ladue High School.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It's funny you say that because Henry McIntosh was at
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the game last night.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's great. That's awesome.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Class of 2020, right?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: He is, yes. Right.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that 2020 class is good to go down in history.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: With what happened as well.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Yep. Right, so it was back and forth. I mean,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Ladue did a good job of establishing a, somewhat of
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a run game. They had some pretty good runs, but
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it was mainly their passing game that they were able
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to move the ball for them.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And then Eureka had some.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Big pass plays themselves, but in the second half, it
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: was pretty much a run-heavy team, and it worked because
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Eureka was so good at establishing a run game, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: then immediately after the play would end, it would take
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: about 10 seconds or so to get the next play in.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And so I talked to one of the little dudes
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: players on defense and he said you know that was
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it was hard it was really hard to deal with
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: because you know they had a tough time getting their
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: signals in before like the plays would go off and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know you couldn't really take a breath and you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: know they were kind of gassed at the end of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the game and so that's that's what that up-tempo you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: know run heavy offense that Eureka has can do to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you and And true, because of both teams, both teams
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: are going to take away.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Some of what the offenses want to do a little bit.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: LaDuke did a good job of getting some key stops
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: throughout the game on defense. I think they forced four
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: turnovers on downs, and then the biggest one of all
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: was with three and a half minutes to play when Eureka,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think they would have had enough room because
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: they would have gotten inside the 25-yard line. I don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: think they would have had enough time or space to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: end the game, but it was a fourth and one,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and Ledoux stopped them at the line of scrimmage, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that was huge.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And then Ledoux.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Got down to right about the 10-yard line with a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: minute to go, and then Eureka, they clutched up, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they nearly got an interception at the end zone.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: This close.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But then junior kicker Gavin Bader stepped up for Ledoux
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and knocked in on, you know, a pretty simple, manageable
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: field goal, but just with all the pressure in the world, obviously,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: because if he missed it, the game is, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Eureka wins, and he punted that, you know, he booted
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that in there, the tie of the game.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Eureka had some time.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think they had 29 seconds left to try and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: make something happen, but I think they wisely chose to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: go over time. I mean, I know hindsight's 20-20, but
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I think in that situation right there, I mean, like, they...
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Their best receiver in the game sustained an injury, so
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they're down a guy there.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And Ledoux knew they would have had to pass.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So I think they realized, like, look, this might do
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: more harm than good, so let's just take it over time.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, after watching a lot of the highlights, one big
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: takeaway was Ledoux's physicality defensively in the front seven. We
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: knew that was what they would have to be solid
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: on to win this game, and they were.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: In those short yardage situations, I mean, Eureka has not actually,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: funny enough, in any usual year, Eureka would have a
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: pretty serious size advantage over Ledoux.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: They do, technically.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: It's not as big this year.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Like, Eureka still has decent size up front of their O-line,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: but not as huge as previous years.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: And Ledoux actually has better size than they usually do.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say their depth is all the way there,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: but Ledoux's size is solid.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: And they were able to get off the ball really well,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: keep driving their feet.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Ledoux's really good at getting gaps, and they got good stops.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Ledoux is not, I mean, size-wise, they are not very
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: big up front, but they are very good at getting
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: off the ball, and they're a lot more physical than
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: what they look like, and they're really fast. And what
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: if I told you that all their starters in the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: front seven were underclassmen?
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: They're all underclassmen.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Pretty much. Like, all their starters are, like... All sophomores
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: are freshmen?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Mostly juniors and a few sophomores. Okay. Wow.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And, uh, and then one of their, and their, their
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: supposed middle linebacker was supposed to start Trevor Anderson.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: He tours ACL this summer. Oof. So he'll be back
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And, um, you know, Julius Garrett, by the way, he's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: had a solid season because he, I mean, he would
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: have been, he was supposed to be a second stringer,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: but he's had to step up and he's been awesome, um,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: for Ladue, um, this season. So, um, yeah, I mean,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they just, yeah, they return, they will turn eight starters
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: next year on defense. Um, I mean, they'll have some
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: line– like for some short yard stuff, they'll plug in
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: some offensive linemen in there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: At nose guard.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, it's all underclassmen. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in overtime, Ledoux, they get down to the five-yard line. Eureka,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they almost had another amazing– okay, try every side where
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's got to shot him out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Three receiving touchdowns.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, insane catch. He had an insane.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Touchdown catch in the second quarter.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He had over 100 receiving yards, I think 112 yards,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: three receiving touchdowns, best game of his career. You know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: so he was– I think he's now got like six
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: touchdowns on the season.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And he's their wide receiver three. Yeah.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And so Trevor Walker nearly made another– a very similar
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: catch in the end zone, but Eureka broke that up.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: That was great defense. And so Ledoux settled for another
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: field goal.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: They made it. And it was– You knew then, it's like, Eureka,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: they need a touchdown. They've been getting those all game long.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, LeDoux clutched up. They got held into two
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: fairly short gains. And then on third and four on
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the 19-yard line.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Eureka hands the ball off on a read option.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: And LeDoux, outside linebacker, Chase Claiborne, forced a fumble. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: then I believe it was either Evan Vai or Gus
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Logan who fell on it. I think Evan Vai... ultimately
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: got the fumble recovery and literally recovered it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: And yeah, the crowd went wild. It was a pretty
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: amazing thing to see.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Um, just, you know, the lights flickering on and off
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: is what you see with led lighting nowadays.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And, um, it was just an incredible game.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've been, I've been calling it the suburban
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Superbowl and man, it lived up to the hype and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: then some.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Um, really happy how that, how the way that game
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: played out. And like I said, I was, you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: since I'm a Ladoo guy, I would have been proud
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: when I lost about the effort and just how, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Ladoo is able to, you know, just hang tough with
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a team that typically, you know, not just Eureka, um,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: but just a Cal, a type of team like Eureka
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that typically beats them and gives them so much fits, um,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: physicality wise. And they were able to hang with them and, uh,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: did a good job of, you know, using, using their
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: strengths with their speed and, uh, you know, on both
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: sides of the ball, and Emmitt McIntosh just being an
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: absolute gem of a quarterback. So it was a program-changing
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: win for Ladue, and I think it's their best win
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they've had since they beat Web City in 2018.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. All right.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: And next up for Ladue, they've got two conference games,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: which they definitely should win.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: And, I mean, there's nothing really to get distracted by
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: for them. I mean, because they're 7-0 right now and
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: because– You know, and I don't want to– they shouldn't,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: you know, look ahead in the playoffs and sleepwalk through
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Parkway Central and Parkway West. Because, I mean, nothing against
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: the Colts, but even if a dude does sleepwalk, they'll
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: still easily.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Beat Parkway Central.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: But they will probably have a bye weekend and not
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: know who they're playing in the playoffs. So it's not
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: like there's some guaranteed big matchup to worry about. They've
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: got to worry about what's in front of them and
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: clinch that undefeated season and clinch a bye week, which
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: would be huge for them.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Because I know– The dude doesn't have too many big injuries,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: but it would be... Because they're a little banged up, though.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: So it would be nice to have a bi-week to recover.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Actually, I mean, I think they're just about as healthy
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: as they can be right now, fortunately.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: That's good. Which is great.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's kids... I know there's some
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: kids who've got some bumps and bruises, but.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, they pretty much had everybody available for them.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: And I know Eureka had a few....
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Starters out, but they had all their main guys pretty
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: much with them. As long as they got Zach Kemp,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: they're going to be competitive in every game.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He is, I think he's the most impactful.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Eureka quarterback I've ever seen them have. You'd have to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: go back a long time to find someone comparable. I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: know there's Carter Davis, but he was more of a thrower.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Zach Kemp can do both. He can run and throw.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: That's why I was just so impressed with them. I've
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: been impressed with Cam, especially this whole season. And he's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: only a junior. So like, I mean, I think as
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: long as they have him, they're going to be really
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: tough to beat, you know, going forward. And this could,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: this could, that may not be the last time that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the Eureka and Ladue face each other, by the way,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: because both teams.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Win their districts. They're both in class five.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: If they win their districts and their quarterfinal games, they'll
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: be probably back at Ladue in the semifinals. So yeah,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you can tell I've been thinking ahead a little bit,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: but I think it's very possible that happens.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: All right, next up, we'll go to a game that
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: you were actually just at. DeSmet defeats St. Pius out
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: of KC. This is a close.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: One, actually. DeSmet wins by a final score of 34-28.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: DeSmet was down, was it 21-7? At halftime. They rallied
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: back to get up 34-21. Then St. Pius X gets
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: a long touchdown.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: In the fourth quarter with about a minute left. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: then they did not recover the onside kick. DeSmet gets
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: it to seal the game 34-28. We were recording this
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: about an hour and a half after this game ended,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: so unfortunately the stats are not in, but that's okay.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: What matters is that we got to see Cam Sharp
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: put on another just illustrious display on the ground for
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: the Spartans. Fortunately, I've been able to see him play
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: a couple times in person. The athleticism is just unbelievable.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: It helps that his offensive line is very well coached.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: They get down the field well. They hold their blocks well,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: but A little too well at times.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: But, no, Sharp is incredible.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: His yards after contact have got to be through the
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: roof so far this year.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: It's incredibly hard to take him down in the first effort.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Although there is, I think, on both of his– I
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: know on two of his touchdowns he did not get touched.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's the thing, too. He has great open
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: field speed as well. He's everything you want in a
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: running back.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: He really is. He's one of the best running backs.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I think he's a top five running back in the state.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: But we can't talk about how they kind of dug
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: themselves a hole in the first half.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: They did. St.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Pius is a pretty good team. They're really without their QB, right?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: They're a really good team. I mean, I thought Chase
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Brookings was their starting QB. It's a class three team,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, who are playing in.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Class five, the last two seasons.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So this is not, this is nothing new to them because.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: They play a really tough schedule. Um, and they have
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: been for the last few years too.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: So this is, uh, I mean, they're, they're comfortable in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: this atmosphere, this environment that they're in and you could see.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: It early on. I mean, Yeah. Chase Brookings. I think
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: he had over 200 rushing yards as well. Um, I mean, he's,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I guess he would be a wide receiver or something.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I know Nichols, who's the last name of their starting quarterback,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: he's injured, but I think he's going to eventually come back.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: So it may not matter anyway, because they're just that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: good for class three. Um, but yeah, no, he was,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: he was, if it wasn't cam sharp, I mean, really
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you could give two players of the game.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: It was cam sharp and chase Brookings for both teams. Um,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: really great players.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Um, Yeah, so it was– I mean, Pius, they were–
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: they owned the line of scrimmage in this game. I mean,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: like they had– they totally won the time of possession
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: battle full stop. And, I mean, that's one of the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: reasons why they were able to get a good lead because,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you know, they were keeping DeSmet's offense off the field.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And then they also forced two turnovers in the first
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: half as well, a fumble recovery.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And then, yeah, an interception. Yeah, so, yeah. Yeah, DeSmet,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: they still– their offense still struggled defensively.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: In the first half, but then, then they figured it
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: out in the second half, and, you know, they scored
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: on their first possession, and that was their only possession
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in the second and third quarter, because, again, St.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Pius was just so good at keeping the ball.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But it really, the floodgates opened up in the fourth
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: quarter for DeSmet, and there was a, well, there was
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a big play, I should say, in the third quarter,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the biggest play of the game. DeSmet played a, they
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: played some good defense on this, like, it was a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: read option, and fake handoff, and then turned into a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: speed option.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: So a triple option. Yeah. Sorry.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And that was the only time they called that play
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the entire game.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But then the pitch was....
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Because of some good defense by DeSmet, the pitch was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: errant on the ground, and then Jaden Jackson scooped it
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: up and scored for DeSmet to tie the game. So
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that was the biggest play of the game by far.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: DeSmet's defense finally... got it together. They finally stopped St.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Pius' rushing attack. Got the ball back and scored on
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: an 84-yard touchdown pass from Chase Cooper to Carter Fane.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: It was Carter Fane's first touchdown reception of the season,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and what a time to get one. Really nice play design,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and then the Smet got another stop, got the ball back,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and then Cam Sharp scored his third rushing touchdown of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the game, and then it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Felt like it was over. But with like 25 seconds
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to go in.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: The game, the Smet fell asleep in their secondary where
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Brookings was able to just kind of buy some time
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and found someone, which explains how he's such a good quarterback.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: It's like this is a backup, like making these really
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: good late reads.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Found someone in the secondary, he was open, he caught it,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and he scored a touchdown, make it 34-28, so, yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: but then DeSmet didn't recover the onside kick because the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: onside kick didn't go more than.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: 10 yards, and so that was it right there. So
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: a good win for DeSmet ultimately, I mean, I think St.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Pius, I mean, they had been previously ranked in the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: top 10 in our top 25 Missouri rankings, and I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: still have them ranked, I still will have them ranked
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: as a top 25 team, so Yeah, it's a solid
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: win for them. I mean, yeah, they dug themselves a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: hole early, but they were able to get out of it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, they scored 27 unanswered points and eventually figured
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, congrats to the Spartans on getting the win despite
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: the early deficit and the injuries they have. Next up,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: a crazy game in the Metro East. Breeze Central suffers
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: their first loss of the season as they lose to
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Centralia 42-33. This is a very back-and-forth, high-scoring game. Just
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: like this DeSmet-St. Pius game, it was a 21-7 game
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: at halftime, Centralia-led. Green Central fought back a bit in
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: the third quarter, but.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Ja'Shawn Staples for Centralia was just incredible. He had a
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: two-yard rush touchdown in the.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: First quarter, an 89-yard receiving touchdown in the second quarter,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: a 38-yard receiving touchdown in the second quarter.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: He had a 38-yard rushing.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Touchdown in the fourth quarter, and then a game-sealing 57-yard.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Pick-six in the fourth quarter.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: So Staples for Centralia was just absolutely all over the place.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Definitely gets MVP of the game.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Centralia doesn't put their stats in to Especial Sports, which
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: I guess makes sense because they're pretty far from here.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're not far, but they're far enough.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Offensively, you know, the Cougars did pretty good. I mean.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Their passing game was good. Rushing the ball, they weren't there.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: They just couldn't. I guess I did not watch the
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: highlights of this game.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: There is a highlight, Ballin' for God, which is a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: really good Southern Illinois YouTube channel.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: They have highlights of this game. Okay.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Well, the Cougars only got 3.2 yards per rush off
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: of 34 carries, 110 yards. Definitely not their usual output there.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: So that might be a combination of. The Centralia front
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: seven just plugging gaps quickly or pretty central, not getting
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: a good initial push off the line. But, yeah, they
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: suffered their first loss. Centralia moves to 8-0 and wins.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, this really was the de facto Cahokia-Mississippi Conference
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: championship game, and Centralia wins the conference.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: So congrats to them. And, yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just, you know, Centralia's got a really
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: good junior quarterback, Archie Goaway.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: He's a three-year starter there.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And this is, I think everybody knew this was going
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to be the biggest game of the season for both
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: these teams.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: And it was a heck of a game, it looked like. But,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Bree Central, they're in Class 4. They're going
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to be okay. Centralia, I think, is Class 5? Yes.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, too.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're a dangerous Class 5 team. I mean,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: they're pretty athletic. They have a great quarterback. Staples is
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a load at running back, and they've got weapons. So, yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for that orphans team there, and Central's going
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to be okay. I mean, I think they'll beat Heron,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and that would be the second straight year. They should
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: go 8-1, and then just another really good season for
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: them so far, ultimately, despite this loss.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, over at the Metro Catholic Conference, CBC defeated Chaminade 49-35.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: This was a crazy game.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Chaminade hung with them, which a lot of people didn't expect,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: but this game started off in a wild way. So
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Kingston McPike returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown for
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the Cadets to make it 7-0, and then they kick
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: it back off to Chaminade, and then Chaminade's first play
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: from scrimmage, Mo Smith connects with Isaac Hudson for a
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: 59-yard passing touchdown.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And you may know him as Jamarion Barnes, but now
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: he's going by Mo Smith.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Is there a reason for the name change?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a reason, but I don't know why.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: But it is what it is now. Interesting.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Usually it's like he would go from Jamarion to J-Mo
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: or just J or something.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's where Mo comes from.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but yeah, I'll refer to him as
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Mo Smith now.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Because I guess that's what he was first to be called.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, another very odd stat line, 8 of 24 passing.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: But 240 yards.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: 240 pass yards and four touchdowns, zero interceptions.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: 30 yards per reception for his receivers.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: That is so odd.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: And then Daylon Austin Harvey had another really good game
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: for the Cadets. 14 of 19, turned 23 yards, three touchdowns,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: zero interceptions. He also led his team in rushing again.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: 13 carries, 407 yards, average eight yards on the ground.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: He got in the end zone twice on the ground.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Austin Harvey did.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: And, yeah, I mean, really this game was, you know, CBC,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: you know, got a.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Lead in the first quarter and never gave that up.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: And their offense was kind of doing whatever they wanted
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: the whole game.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: But, The Sean Allen offense was hanging with them, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: they got stopped a couple times. But for the most part,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, yeah, Sean Allen, you want to win
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: the game, but there's a lot of positives to take
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: out from this. And I think there's, I mean, offensively
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: for the Red Devils, I mean, if they can keep
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: this up, they can scare some teams in the playoffs
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: in Class 5.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think there's, they're definitely a dark horse.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: In Class 5, and it doesn't help that they're in
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a really tough district with Ledoux and Ritter. But fortunately
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: for Chaminade, I think they're going to avoid playing either
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: or both of them in the second round just based
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: on how it's kind of lining up with McClure North being,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, just having a really easy schedule and, you know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: them doing enough to, like, win games and maintain a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: two- or three-seed. And then since Ritter, they're three and four,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: although they probably would have gained ground this week. They
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: still got to go play CBC and Jackson, who... you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: if Chaminade, if they can do that against CBC, Ritter
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: can certainly put up a good amount against CBC too.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: So who knows?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: But, um, but yeah, so I think Chaminade is going
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to play a really good opponent in the district finals though,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: in that district. And, um, but I wouldn't put it
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: past them at this point because of what they're proving.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Like Mo, as a, you know, Mo Smith had a solid,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: another solid game.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I saw him, I saw Chaminade a week
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: ago against Vianney and, um, I know it's Vianney's defense
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: has not been good this season, but Chaminade really made
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: light work of them, so you've got to be good
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to do that. They clearly showed that they're good for
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: sure putting up 35 against CBC.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Was that CBC?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Was the game at CBC?
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. Yeah, so even more impressive. Yeah, so
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I bet there's some Chaminade people who walked home from
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: that game more satisfied than CBC people. Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: And, I mean, looking out for CBC, they got Connor Ritter,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: which is their last game of the regular season because
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I guess they still couldn't find a Week 9 opponent,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: which is unfortunate.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: And I guess, I mean, this is going to be
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: interesting because in their district, so let's see.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: So CBC is in Class 6, District 2.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so with DeSmet and.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: They're not going to.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: So CBC is not going to finish 4 or 5.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: That's going to be Marquette and Lafayette in all likelihood.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Unless... I guess CBC could lose, and if Marquette wins out, they.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Can get the three seed, maybe?
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, it's a lot of points.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: At this point, five points is a lot.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: It would be very weird to see... I don't think
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: we've ever seen this. CBC would be off week nine,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: and then week ten. I don't know if we've ever
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: seen a team be off for two weeks in one
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: season before.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: In the middle of the season.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: That would just be very.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Very interesting.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: U-City's got some story.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, no. Hey, hey, hey.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: U-City's got a story to tell you about that.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Am I missing something?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: The last two games they played, they were supposed to play,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: were forfeited.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot about that. I'm not laughing at that situation.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: It's just funny how you said that.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: That's right. I did forget about that. Well, I mean, like,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: no games scheduled.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm referring to. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: But actually, CBC beat Dismet, so... I guess they would
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: jump them to be the two seed.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Unless if DeSmet can leapfrog Kirkwood, then CBC doesn't get that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll see. We shall see. We'll keep track
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: of Classic District 2, and once the regular season ends,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: we'll go through the districts and.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Give our picks and all that. Anyway, next game. Head
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: over to the GAC. This was a very interesting finish.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Troy defeats Francis Howell, final score 14-10. Low-scoring, scrappy game
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: for the Trojans. Neither team has their stats in.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: I was tracking the game a bit on Twitter last night. And, yes,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: I will refer to it as Twitter because that's just
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: what I've always known it as.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And if you don't like that, then you can take
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: it up with our secretary.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Anyway, you were checking X last night.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: And the Troy AD does a very good job of
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: updating the plays and stuff.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Scores and all that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: You could do a little bit better of talking about
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: which schools and the time left in the game.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Well, it was 7-7 at the end of the first quarter,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: which is a pretty normal first quarter score. And then
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: the team's pretty much just traded turnovers the next three quarters.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: It's kind of how it went. I mean, there was
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: some decent offense, some decent plays. And then Troy led
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: 14-7 at halftime. Francis Howell got a field goal. About
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: halfway through the third quarter, and then Troy's defense just
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: held on from there. The teams really just exchanged punts
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: a lot in the second half. And yeah, really a
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: few positional defensive battle, but Troy hangs on.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: They're now 6-1. They win the, well, I mean, it's
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: not a guarantee because they've got to beat Liberty, which
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I would think they can do, but. Troy is definitely
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: the driver's seat to win the GAC South, which is
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: big for them.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: And they end the season with a very, very unique
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: matchup against Zumwalt North.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Those two teams have not played since, I believe, 2017?
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: That's correct, since 2017.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: So that should be very interesting. But, yeah, congrats to
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Troy for getting the win there. France Howell, they hang
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: in there, but their offense has been a lot of
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: highs and a lot of lows this year, which I
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: say about a lot of teams, but especially as evident
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: with France Howell. Like, you know, they play... Their rival,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: South Central, put up 42. And then they put up
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: 10 points against Troy.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: So we'll see.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: They get Howell North next week. And then Francis Howell
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: at Chaminade. And that's another very fun conference game.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Anyways, another game that just ended a couple hours ago.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Lutheran North defeats MICDS in a track meet to win
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: the Metro League.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: 55-35 was the final score on this one.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: J.P.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Rock was at this game live tweeting some highlights.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: And we will have highlights of the game since Sean
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: West was filming it. So, yeah, another pretty fun game
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that we were able to film.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Filmed two fun games Saturday.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jonathan Moore put up a ton of highlights. He
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: got a big 38-yard rush touchdown in the third quarter.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Luther North ran back Ky Robinson also had a really.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Good game as well.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: And it's funny, I think in the first quarter it
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: was like 28-35 or something ridiculous. Well, MICDS actually had
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: a 21-7 lead in this game, which is the crazy part. Yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: MICDS led 21-7 in the first quarter. And then from
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: then on, they kind of traded scores a bit. It
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: was 28-28 with nine and a half minutes left in
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: the second quarter.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: That is an unbelievably high scoring game to that point.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: And then Luther North took the lead 35-28. It was
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: about seven and a half left in the second quarter.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Then MISDS scored again to make it 35-35 halfway through
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: the second quarter.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: So they were on pace to get up like 100
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: points each at that point. But they kind of called
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: that after that.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Well, Luther North's defense really stepped up after that.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, they only allowed one touchdown.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they did. So good job on the Crusaders for
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: clinching that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: They're now 3-3, but it's a– They're a talented 3-3. However,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: they do have a really tough game against St. Pius
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: X from Kansas City.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: In KC. Yeah, that should be an interesting matchup. And
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: they end the season at a smack.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if they're going to win these
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: next two games.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: They got Jonathan Moore.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: They got a really good defense. The second half they
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: had a good defense. I don't know about the first
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: few quarters.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I have not seen too many of the highlights. I
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: don't know if that was just a bunch of busted
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: coverage or missed tackles, but. That's just so odd to
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: allow a team 35 points in the first half and
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: then no in the second half.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: You do not see that very often at all.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Good adjustments, I guess. Yeah? Well, yeah.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Grassley Crusaders are another conference title.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I predicted 7-2 for MICDS, and it's going to happen.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Well, there you go. Speaking of St. Pius X, the
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: other St.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Pius X in Festus, they played Farmington this week, and
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Farmington actually came out with a victory.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: 41-20 was the final score in this one. The stats
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: aren't in.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: But St.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Pius X, they're now 5-2.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: That was their first big test of the season.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: They played Gibson Southern, which is an Indiana school, in
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: week one.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think this is maybe a bigger test
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: because it's later in the season. You're playing a more
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: local team. Farmington's technically not local.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: They're a lot closer to them. They're kind of like Centralia.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: It's like they're technically not in their area, but they're
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: close by. It's St. Francois County, but... Farmington, they're really
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: well coached by Brent Eckley. They have a great offense.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And they were able to put up 41 against, I think,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: overall a decent St.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Pius X team.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: It's only 40 minutes from Farmington High School to St.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Pius X Catholic High School.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So it's not far.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Farmington's had a pretty good season so far.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: No surprise. They've got one of the best coaches in
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: the state.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: And I got to see them in the offseason.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: They have a good quarterback. I mean, they... They have
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: a good unit on offense.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Good Class 5 team who could potentially play.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good chance that District 1 will
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: come down to Farmington and St.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Mary's.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, Kingston Miles is back. He rushed for
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: over 100 yards against St.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Pacific. We'll talk about that briefly.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: That was all Dragons, really. 58-12 was the final score
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: in this one.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Pacific has their stats in, but St.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Mary's has not.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: But I do know, and again, scrolling through Twitter a lot,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: a lot of Kingston Miles highlights, which is good to
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: see him back and healthy.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Our friend Kenny Van Doren was all over that
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: for Mizzou today. Yeah.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Festus, they defeated Hannibal 21-12. It's a big one.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Even though Hannibal's 3-4 now, I mean, they're still a
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: really competitive team.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Hannibal has one of the tougher schedules of really anyone
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: in the state.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: You can't knock them too much for that.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: For all classes, really. Yeah.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, I mean, they played, they defeated Eureka earlier
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: in the year.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: They did, which feels pretty crazy how they did that,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: especially like in hindsight.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Um, just considering how good Eureka's turned out to be.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Well, Hannibal has played a still undefeated Elias. They lost
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: them week one.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: They played Eureka week two, Troy week three. Uh, they
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: defeated Kirksville in Mexico. Uh, and they lost to St.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Dominic. Yeah, that was not good.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: And they lost to Festus.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: St.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Dominic's defense has been doing really, really good these past
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: two weeks. That's still just a very interesting, uh.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Score there. I'm sorry to give up 29. St. Dominic
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: can't hear Hannibal. That's not good.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of St.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Dominic, I've got to give the Crusaders a big shout-out.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: They got their first win at Borgia, maybe ever. They
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: defeated the Knights 24-0. Tyson Greiner, I think, now holds
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: the school record for sacks.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: He got three this game.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: So.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I've got to look at their overall stats this season
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: because I feel like he's getting close to 20. I mean,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: we talk about him almost every week, just racking up
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: the sack totals, going through.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: He's got 17 so far, Tyson does.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's getting close. He's getting really close. Isn't the
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: all-time record Parker Monning?
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all-time record for the state of Missouri is Parker
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Monning was 24 back in 2019 for Zumwalt North.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: On pace if they can get win some playoff.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Games yeah if they could win some playoff games and
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: give him some chances then he could and they play
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: a couple of uh teams that are willing to pass
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: the ball out in my cds in westminster in the
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: next couple weeks so he could and tyson's a great
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: kid uh one of the guys that i coached with
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: coached uh coach tyson a little while ago um has
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: nothing but great things to say about him and his
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: family so it's good to see him do good um
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: Head to a competitor, and St. Dominic gets back above 500,
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: and we'll see how they finish out their season. But, yeah,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: they're at 4-3 now.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: So as far as I can tell, going back to
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: this century, and I was told by a kid, so
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I can't technically take his word for it, although I'd
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: like to.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: So apparently this is St. Dominic's first ever win at St. Dominic.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: At Borgia. At Borgia, yeah.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: That's what I was saying to enter this. Well, at
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: least back for as far back as.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: S2 High School sports records go back to about 2000.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: St.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Dominic has beaten Borgia several times, but it's always been
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: at home.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: For a long time, it was like a mostly dominated
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Borgia rivalry.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: And historically speaking, it is. But obviously, St.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Dominic's gotten pretty good in the last 10 years.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Well, for example.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Every single year from 2020 to 2025, the home.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Team won this game, and they played every year.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: But this is the first year that the away team won. So, yeah,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: pretty cool to see how that worked out.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: It is, yeah. So St. Dominic, they've been around since 1962. Yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Longer than I thought. Yeah. Yeah.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, heading back over to Illinois, Cahokia, their offense
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: is definitely back. There were some questions about them earlier
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: in the season. They lost to Metamora 22-15, and then
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: they kind of scraped by St.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Mary's 25-22.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: They've scored 47 or more points these past four weeks,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: and they defeat Highland 47-14. They go off in the
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: second quarter, and they had a true all Comanche second quarter.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Nigel Gooden, Makai Henderson, Cameron Dowell, and Martavius Norris all
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: got in the end zone for Comanche in the second quarter.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: And then Harald Holman got in the end zone as
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: well in the third quarter. So, yeah, we've talked several
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: times about their– large array of great athletes over there,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: and they dominate.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: They had nine different receivers.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nine different guys on the catch this week. Nigel
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Gooden was 18-23 for 213 minutes.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Hold on a second. They have a guy named Nigel
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Gooden and then Nigel Griffin.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. Nigel's a cool name.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: That's the British invasion right there.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: You only hear people named Nigel in Britain.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: But I think what is great for the Comanches is
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: they got Cameron Dowell and Makai Henderson both showing that
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: they can be explosive on the ground. Because we know
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: of their passing attack. But to really establish a dominant
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: run game is really good for them as well. Both
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: Dowell and Henderson both got over 80 rushing yards and
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: over 9 yards per carry. That's very impressive. And the
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Comanches is now 6-2. They end the season playing Morris next.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Week, which is going to be a huge game.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good game.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Morris is a top 20 team in Illinois, I think.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Really? They're 8-0, yeah.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: They're right outside Joliet.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: It's a home game.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the biggest home regular season game for Cahokia
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: in quite a long time.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: I still cannot believe Cahokia played five road games to
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: start the year and then four home games to end
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: the year. That is so odd to me. Maybe they
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: were doing– Well, they're getting their new school buildings. Maybe
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: they're doing construction somewhere and they had to delay it.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Their field is all blue turf.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Cahokia's is?
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Yes. Okay.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: So maybe they just not finished it. Maybe.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I got to fly my drone over that place.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think they had to pay a royalty to
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Boise State for doing that. I'm not even joking.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: And let's– hopefully we don't– they don't have like a
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: bird problem where the birds mistakenly think that– It's water.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: It's water.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: It's water.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: That's true. Boise State, they had problems with that.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. As crazy as that seems.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Well, we've got to go back to talk about Rittner
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: because they– for a few years, we would talk about
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: the troubles that the Huskies would have in one-score games.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: And in the past four weeks, they have three.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Wins in one-score games.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's cool. And they win– I didn't know it
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: was three.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: They defeat Parkway North this week, final score of 16-14.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: The stats are not in, unfortunately.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: But right now, it is a great time to be
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: a Rittner Husky. I mean, you beat your rivals in
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: the homecoming. You come back in a short week. You
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: beat Parkway North. You're 5-2 now, riding high. But they've
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: got a tough game in the second coming up. That
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: one should be very interesting.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not going to be easy. We'll talk about
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: that later.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, I mean, obviously you knew this Parkway North game.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Was going to be a trap game after, you know,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: beating Pattonville. I mean, I'm sure they put a lot
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: into that game, as they should have. You know, but
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: you still got to move on. And, yeah, we don't
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: have the box score for this. But, yeah, it was
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: a very defensive game. And, I mean, you know Parkway North,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: they're always capable of putting in a good defensive performance.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: And that might have been the best. I mean, I
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: hate to say it, but it's like, this might've been.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: The best game Parkway North has played as far as
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: just like, you know, especially defensively.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Parkway North has played several good defensive games, but their
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: offense just, the turnovers seem to be issues still, which
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: is not good when you're in week seven.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: No, it's been tough sliding for them all year offensively.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Um, yeah, but they, uh, they're still a sneaky competitive team,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: although they, they are going to be at, man, their
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: schedule has been really tough this season. Like, Eureka, Ledoux, Rittner, Pattonville,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and then Sackman. Pattonville and Sackman to close the regular
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: season for them.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Back over to Illinois.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Belleville East picks up a huge conference win to end
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: their conference play against O'Fallon.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: 37-35 was the final score of this one.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you knew this could happen. Like, Belleville East
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: could beat O'Fallon. It's been a bad year for Belleville East.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, just like what they were. Yeah, but this
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: is their best win of the season. You know, they
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: beat an in-form O'Fallon team.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: And, you know, now they're 4-4.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, O'Fallon's coming into this game with three straight wins
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: against Belleville West, Triad, and Edwardsville.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: And they had beaten Francis Howe.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: So that's a good O'Fallon team.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, it looked like it was a knockdown dragout
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: type of a game, 37-35.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then there was a Thursday game that you
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: were at, I'm pretty sure, Cardinal Ritter.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: They defeated Live for Life, a Live for Life team
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: that hung on until the very end, really.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: 30-22.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was tie game at the end of
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: the first quarter, tie game at halftime.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Really, the only difference.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Was Cardinal Green got in the end zone one extra
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: time in the third quarter, thanks to rather more to
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Malahan Green.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Cardinal Green. That's nice. That's funny.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I said Mountland Green.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: No, you said Cardinal Green. Oh, did I? Yeah.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: No, I know you meant to say Cardinal Ritter, but
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you were thinking of Milan Green at the same time.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Terrell Davis had a huge game for Ritter.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Two receiving touchdowns, over 100 receiving yards, I'm sure.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Ritter doesn't have their stats in yet. They usually get
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: them in there eventually, but it's been a few days.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Still don't have them in there yet.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: But, hey, I mean, again, Ritter's got– Terrell Davis, Ryan McDavis,
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: Malhan Green, Amir.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Tillman, those are four elite athletes, and then a good
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: QB in Ryland Moore.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Terrence Jones is a good running back, too, with
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Amir Tillman.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's tough because even though the rushing attack isn't,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: you know, like a run it down your throat between
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: the tackles type rushing attack, because they have so many
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: elite athletes, you can never really count out their offense.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: No.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: It's just a different style.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Now that my memory is starting to get refreshed about
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: the game, I mean, Live for Life had so many
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: chances to establish a lead and just establish some sort
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: of control, but they weren't able to do it just
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: because their offense wasn't able to find the end zone.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Until they scored in the fourth quarter with about, what
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: was it, four and a half minutes to go.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was their first touchdown in 12 quarters on offense. Wow.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because their first touchdown, which in the second quarter
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: was a seven Jackson kicker touchdown.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: And then they got a scooping score in the third quarter.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Which Ritter literally gave them. No, it was off of
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: the– It was six yards away. It was a bad snap.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: It was like from the– it was a bad snap,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: and they couldn't fall on it, and then Lift for
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Life picked it up.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: So, like, Ritter was basically like, here you go.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but even then, it's like when they
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: weren't having bad snaps from their center– the for life
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: was able to move the ball. Um, yeah, it was just,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: they would have like a holding penalty or something. They
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: would usually just kind of get in their own way. However, to, um,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Ritter's credit, there was a few times, um, Marshawn Ivy,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: actually he forced two fumbles and Ritter recovered both of them.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: The first one, uh, led to a touchdown cause they
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: recovered it at lift for life's nine yard line. And
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: then Ritter got a break early in the, earlier in
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the game where that led to their first touchdown where, um, uh, the, ball,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: it was a punt and the, but the ball hit
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: off of a live for life player.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: But then the, uh, one of.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: The referees or, I mean, multiple referees kind of missed
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: it where like a Ritter player then unintentionally, but he
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: kicked the ball like about 10 yards.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: So it was like, it was ready to recovered it, but.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: They still should have like, cause that was important because
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you know, it was like a free fit, 10, 15
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: yards right there. Um, No, but that was still like...
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Ritter still earned that play right there. I'm just remembering
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: it all right now.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Ritter is.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: They are the scariest when they are able to establish
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: a good pocket for Rylan Moore and he's able.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: To wait like five seconds to hit a receiver.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: No, seriously. If he's getting... On average, three and a
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: half or more seconds in the.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Pocket, you're screwed. You're just cooked.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: He is, and he's good at being calm and composed
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: in there, and he's good at usually hitting the correct receiver.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: He kind of had a bad start to the game
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: with his accuracy, but he got better as the game
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: went on. But, yeah, it's kind of weird how Ritter's
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: offensive line is great at pass blocking, but they're not
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: great at run blocking because that's just, They were not
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: able to establish a run game, and that was why
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: it was pretty close. In fact, they actually had to
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: throw for two first downs to ice the game late on.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: They couldn't do it while running the ball.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: So, um, but no, it's Ritter's still very much, they're
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: three and four, but they're very much a dangerous team
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and they're a dangerous team because of what they're, of
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: what they can do offensively. Um, I don't think there is, um, like,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: I think you can.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: If you have a good offense, you can move the
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: ball on them.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Um, I mean, they're still taught, they're still tough on defense,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: but like, um, it's just going to come down to like, if,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: if you want to beat Ritter, if you can beat them, um,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: it's got to come down to just limiting them offensively
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: and not allowing big plays and ultimately forcing them to
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: try to try to beat you in the red zone
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: by like trying to get short yardage. So, but yeah,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: and they're, and they're not afraid to take shots too,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: because I mean, it's, it's dangerous because like secondaries hate
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: it when, you know, you're just going to throw like
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: a 40 yard go route, um, over the top and they're,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: they'll do that numerous times. And, um, you know, they, they, they,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: They caught maybe one of them, but, like, there was
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: multiple times where Live4Life had to, you know, commit a
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: defensive pass interference, you know, and whatnot. So, yeah, this
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: is a... Ritter's going to get... I mean, I was
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: about to say, like, well, they're going to get tested
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: next week. Well, like, they've been being tested. They've gotten
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: tested every single week. Yeah.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: So, like, yeah, they got CBC this coming week, and
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: probably the game of the week.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, sticking with the St. Louis City teams, Slough
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: High had a.
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: Absolutely dominant win over Vianney.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: 42-12.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not, yeah, I'm not.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Soon High may have set the record for their rushing
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: yards in a game.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: 432 yards on the ground for the Junior Bills.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Pat Stein got five rushing touchdowns. He had 114 rushing yards.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: Tyler Kuzminski got 20 carries for 198 yards and one touchdown.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Tyler, he was a tight end last year. What's he
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: doing at running back?
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: He's doing great at running back. That's what he's doing.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: He's running all over the place.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Fuck.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: And then the Romella brothers, Patrick's a QB. John's, I guess,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: running back also. They're doing pretty good as well. So, yeah,
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: the Junior Bills. Loss of the CBC into Smith, which
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: I guess we're expected. But other than that, they've beaten
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: some solid teams. They beat Biondi. They beat Live for Life.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: They beat Chaminade. They beat St. Dominic. So, yeah, they
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: play Gateway Stem this week, which should be interesting. They
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: should win that game. Then they play Rockhurst, which– At
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the season, we were very terrified of
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: that matchup, but Rockhurst has proven to not be as
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: good as we thought they would be.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Until last night when they won.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I forget who they beat. They beat a really good team.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Give me three seconds. They beat Blue Springs.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 21-14. They were 5-1. Yeah.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Blue Springs was 5-1 coming into the game, then Rockhurst
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: was 2-4 coming into the game, and Rockhurst won 21-14.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Well, and SLU, they have really struggled against Rockhurst these
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: last three, four years. So that would be a tough
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: game when they see them.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood beat Fox. Fox kept it kind of close, though.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: This was a really close game.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: Kirkwood, kind of like the CBC-Shamanai game where Kirkwood was
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: in control and had the lead the whole time, but
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: Fox just never went away.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: But would you have thought that Kirkwood would have only
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: beaten Fox by 14 points?
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: The spread was 17.5, so I don't know.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess that's close.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: And what's interesting is that Fox, they lost to Ledoux
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: by 13 as well.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: So close, yet so far away.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is not a bad... And then they
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: lost to Seckman... You know, in overtime. This is not
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: a bad Fox team.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: No, not at all.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: I expect them to finish 5-4. Yeah.
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: Kirkwood are at 5-1 right now. They host Summit this week.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: It's a game they should win.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Summit, yeah, they're coming off of a 35-14.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: It was 35-0 at halftime, but then 35-14 doesn't look
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: as good against Riverview Gardens.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: But it looks like Summit's starting to kind of figure
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: some things out now.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of other games that are worth
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: mentioning this past weekend.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Oh. I got a few that we didn't have on here.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Maddox Sikma for.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Ten interceptions.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: He got two picks for St. Charles West this past game.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: Why do people.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: He has ten interceptions now at the St. Charles West record.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Why do people keep throwing it at him?
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't even think they mean to.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: But St.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Charles West gets a really messy win against Holt 21-14.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: And they are now 7-0.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: They finish conference play against Winfield, and they end the
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: season against Zumwalt East in Week 9.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Probably the best game in the GAC this week. Oh, yeah.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Washington beat North Point 40-38.
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Washington, this was their second win in conference. And
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: it's funny because Washington was leading 13-0 at the end
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: of the first quarter. And then North Point kind of
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: storms back in the second quarter, and then it was 20-17,
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: one game at halftime. And then North Point got back
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: on track in the fourth quarter. Bowen Bast had the
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: game-stealing touchdown in the fourth quarter with about two and
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: a half minutes left. He got the end zone twice
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: this game. Carter Hill with one of the funniest passing
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: stat lines you'll ever see for the Blue Jays. Four
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: of six to four different receivers for.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: 146 passing yards and one touchdown. Oh, man.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: So an average of 36.5 yards per completion with only
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: four completions.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: That's not much.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: That's only six passes, but a very highly diversified six passes. Yes.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: They had 52 carries as a team, 288 yards. North
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Point's offense, they're a good offense.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: They're a good offense.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: Alex Graham, 387 passing yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: They had over five yards per carry as a team,
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: but their defense this whole year has just not been there.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at North Point, they're 1-6,
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: and it really is mostly because of their defense. I mean,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: they allow 70 against Timberland, 40 against Washington, 41 against
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: Poplar Bluff, 71.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Against Seckman, 31 against St.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Dominic, which.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think St. Dominic has put up that many
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: points again so far this year.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: They did against Warrington. They put up 31. But, yeah,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: that's not a good.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Sign from a point. No, I mean, I saw them
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: play Timberland, who we'll talk about. I won't talk about
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: in a second, by the way. But, yeah, their offense
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: gave them a lot of chances, but they just could
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: not get a stop against Timberland's offense.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Timberland, quite a 6-1 team.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: They've had some very close wins.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: They should– they beat Zumwalt South 47-39. The stats are
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: not in. That should not be that close of a game.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: It just should not be. Yes. Timberland is– they should
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: not be allowing Zumwalt South to score 39 points. I'm sorry.
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: That's just– Zumwalt South is a 1-16, just like North Point.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: Funny enough, because Zumwalt South beat Washington, but then Washington
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: beat North Point.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: Zumwalt South plays North Point this week, so. That'll be
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: a 120 to 130 game.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Timberland had a 6.4135 win over Liberty,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: who's just, they've struggled this season too.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Wait a second.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: Liberty played Howell Central, right?
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wait. Because you said Timberland.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: No, Liberty beat Howell Central.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this week.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you meant this week. My apologies. No,
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: you're good, you're good. Yeah, Timlin did beat Liberty earlier
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: in the season.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: And Liberty gets their second conference win of the year.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: They beat Hal Central by a point, 13-12.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: They got the game-winning, CJ McLean game-winning touchdown with three
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: minutes left. So congrats to them. Do you have any
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: other games that are worth mentioning?
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Hold on one second. I saw, no, there's a, Okay, Lindbergh,
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: they had a huge win. Oh, yeah.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: I'm glad we remembered this.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: They had a concerningly huge win over Parkway West, 45-7.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Lindbergh, it seems like they've turned it around.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they started 0-3, and they've now won three
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: of their last four, and their only loss in that
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: span was to a pretty good Kirkwood team. So they've
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: taken care of business since then against the teams who
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: they really need to be beating.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Their defense is absolutely dominated West.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, holding them to just 128.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Yards, total yards of offense. I mean, I didn't remember.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: They don't have their stats in yet. So let's do,
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I think Kevin Fisher had a pretty big game. I
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: want to say he had three Russian touchdowns there. So just, yeah,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: really clicked on all cylinders for, for the flyers in
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: this one. I'm just, I just really thought West would,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: I thought they probably would have won this game anyway,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: let alone losing it by 38 points.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, no, that's... And look, I know West has
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: had a pretty.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Easy schedule for the most part this season, but I
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: think they come up against probably two of the most
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: physical teams they'll see in.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Fox and Lindbergh, and they just got bullied in both
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: those games.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, only generating seven points in both of them, and
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: then they They still got potentially a share of the
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: conference title with Ledoux, but um yeah that's seems like
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: it's well we'll talk about that when we'll talk about
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: it but yeah so um i just thought parker west
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: they're still five and two but i just thought they
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: were gonna have a better show in that game but
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: yeah good on limburg though they looks like they're really
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: kind of in the high gear again.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: And finally at least the last thing i've I think
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: it's worth mentioning. U City, who was number three in
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: our small school rankings, second straight forfeit win this time
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: against Melville.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm not really sure what's going on there. I
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: It's out of their control.
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's– I don't know if I've ever seen
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: a team with two straight forfeit wins.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: You see two straight forfeit losses all the time.
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: Like, you know, programs for everyone to feel the team and,
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: you know, you know. rules being broken, and then you
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: having to forfeit previous games because you didn't suspend.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: The guy properly or something. But, yeah, this is very,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: very weird to see two trade forfeit wins.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: And U City, even though they are forfeits, seven games
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: into the year, they've only allowed 24 points.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little truncated now.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: When they play after much of the game, they should win. So, really,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: the last time they've been tested was against Northwest.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a very odd season for the Lions so far.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully Afton doesn't forfeit this game.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: I don't see why they would. Well, Afton themselves have
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: gotten a forfeit win.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Over Jennings.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: So hopefully these two teams are like, you know what?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: We both know that getting forfeit wins is annoying. We
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: want to play football, so let's play.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Yeah, so. And that sucks for U City
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: because that Melville game was their homecoming.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's brutal.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just, man, Malville.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: This is their first forfeit loss this season. I mean,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: they've had a pretty rough year so far. I don't
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: know if they just don't have the numbers anymore, which
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: that's a big school.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: I think they definitely have enough numbers.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: I think it just might be maybe some injuries and
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: maybe some other things that we don't know about.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: That's unfortunate. Yeah. Well, that's a little bit of a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: bummer way to end the show here. Yeah. but it
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: was an awesome week of football.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, we had some awesome, really awesome games like
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: with Lou Eureka and then, uh, Centralia, Bree Central. And then, um,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: even those, like those few GAC games we talked about
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: and plus, you know, Francis Howell and Troy Buchanan. So
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: it was, uh, I mean, yeah, this is a nice
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: late season week of football right here. And, uh, you know,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: we'll see what week eight will hold for us. I mean,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: I think there's some pretty good games on tap that we'll,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: talk about pretty, pretty soon in.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Our next episode. And, um, yeah, just, uh, excuse me. Yeah. Just, uh,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: have a, have a good weekend guys. Enjoy the rest
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: of it. And thank you for having electricity.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Peace.
