- 1:03Speaker 2: football season and six week overall coverage of Lincoln Cougar
- 1:07Speaker 2: football on 93.5 the FBY. Craig Dutton and Josh Mudcat-Helmick
- 1:11Speaker 2: with you on the call tonight. Mike Wolfe was supposed
- 1:14Speaker 2: to be with us, and our thoughts go out to
- 1:17Speaker 2: him and his son, Duke, who's having a little bit
- 1:19Speaker 2: of a sickness this evening, and they're going to set
- 1:21Speaker 2: it in tonight, hopefully watching or listening to us as
- 1:24Speaker 2: well as we continue on coverage of Lincoln Cougar football.
- 1:27Speaker 2: The Lincoln Cougars come in tonight with a 2-3 record
- 1:30Speaker 2: in Class AA, rated 14th this week, as they'll take
- 1:33Speaker 2: on the 0-4 Lewis County Minutemen. And that is a
- 1:36Speaker 2: very deceiving record. That 0-4 record, they had a 14-13
- 1:39Speaker 2: loss to East Fairmont two weeks ago and had a
- 1:42Speaker 2: bye week. The week before, Lincoln had a one-point loss
- 1:46Speaker 2: last week. And honestly, one of the hardest-fought games by
- 1:49Speaker 2: the Cougars that we've seen in recent weeks. And the
- 1:52Speaker 2: mantra this week was, you did what you're supposed to.
- 1:55Speaker 2: You just didn't win the game. You need to hold
- 1:58Speaker 2: that feeling in going into this week, Mudcat.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to play with the same effort you
- 2:02Speaker 3: came out with against North Marion last week. If you
- 2:05Speaker 3: get that effort from here going forward, there's going to
- 2:07Speaker 3: be a lot of successful things happen for this football team, Craig.
- 2:11Speaker 3: I think that that's what you had to preach into
- 2:14Speaker 3: the kids this week. Hey, we didn't come out on top,
- 2:16Speaker 3: but we did all the things right. We were right
- 2:19Speaker 3: there at the end with a chance to win. Just
- 2:23Speaker 3: was unable to make a couple plays on the last
- 2:25Speaker 3: possession that really hurt you at the end of the game.
- 2:30Speaker 3: But if you come out with the same effort this week,
- 2:32Speaker 3: I think good things will happen.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Again, we want to thank everyone joining us tonight on 93.5 FM, wfby.com,
- 2:38Speaker 2: slash Lincoln Sports, the WVRC media app, and tonight on
- 2:42Speaker 2: the Huddle feed as we get closer to kickoff, on
- 2:44Speaker 2: the video, our audio will simulcast. That's courtesy of the
- 2:48Speaker 2: Harrison County Board of Education. Craig and Mudcat with you
- 2:51Speaker 2: on the call. And this matchup this evening has always
- 2:55Speaker 2: been one that has gone back and forth over the
- 2:56Speaker 2: years between Lewis County and Lincoln. You know, the previous
- 3:00Speaker 2: two matchups before last year, was something that Lincoln thought, well,
- 3:03Speaker 2: we have the ability to go in and make a statement.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Lewis County had a better plan in those matchups. That's
- 3:08Speaker 2: what they want to do in this one. They want
- 3:09Speaker 2: to keep it kind of a low-scoring matchup and try
- 3:12Speaker 2: to get Lincoln off of the field quickly because both
- 3:15Speaker 2: these teams are going to try to emphasize on their
- 3:18Speaker 2: run game.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, both teams are going to try to establish
- 3:21Speaker 3: a run. Lincoln's been doing that for the most part
- 3:23Speaker 3: this season, trying to establish a run and mixing in
- 3:26Speaker 3: the pass where they can. Lewis County's going to try
- 3:28Speaker 3: to play keep away and see if they can do it.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I think the line battle once again tonight is going
- 3:35Speaker 3: to be big, going with the leaders on our offensive line,
- 3:40Speaker 3: Bryson Moore and Levi Griever, and Spadafore, Joe Spadafore. I
- 3:46Speaker 3: think those three guys, along with the other two on
- 3:49Speaker 3: the offensive line and defensive line, will be huge this
- 3:53Speaker 3: evening in determining the successful outcome of this game for
- 3:58Speaker 3: the Cougars. That's a good point.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Very young offensive line, defensive line. This Lewis County team
- 4:02Speaker 2: will unveil tonight for the Minutemen. And they've managed to
- 4:06Speaker 2: be able to keep some games close up until halftime.
- 4:08Speaker 2: They had one blowout on the schedule, and that was
- 4:11Speaker 2: to Elkins. They were shut out to Kaiser, but that
- 4:12Speaker 2: was a much closer game. So we'll see how it
- 4:15Speaker 2: transpires this evening. A much colder, wet evening. It is
- 4:18Speaker 2: also Military Appreciation Night. As this game, it's part of
- 4:21Speaker 2: the Gridiron, Guard the Gridiron series by the West Virginia
- 4:25Speaker 2: Army National Guard. They're here throughout the night and help
- 4:27Speaker 2: recruit Any young student athletes that want to be able
- 4:30Speaker 2: to fund away on their way to college or into
- 4:32Speaker 2: the workforce, you can check out the West Virginia Army
- 4:35Speaker 2: National Guard at their website or on social media throughout
- 4:39Speaker 2: this fall. And if you're a senior or anyone listening,
- 4:42Speaker 2: great opportunity to do so as well. I was able
- 4:44Speaker 2: to sit down with Head Coach Rob Hawkins. It was
- 4:46Speaker 2: a heartbreaking loss to North Marion last week. But again,
- 4:49Speaker 2: that's the mantra. Can that energy from the last two
- 4:51Speaker 2: weeks help? Let's see if they can do it in
- 4:52Speaker 2: this final stretch of five games as the 14th rated
- 4:56Speaker 2: and 2-3 in Class AA. Lincoln Cougars play home tonight

- 6:19Speaker 1: on 93.5 The FBY.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Welcome back to pregame coverage of Lincoln Cougar football on 93.5
- 6:29Speaker 2: The FBY. Craig Dutton, glad to be joined by head
- 6:32Speaker 2: coach Rob Hawkins of the Lincoln Cougars. Coach, glad to
- 6:34Speaker 2: have you back on this week. Very, very tough 41-40
- 6:38Speaker 2: loss versus North Merion. fun game to call from my
- 6:41Speaker 2: perspective but in the end you want the outcome to
- 6:44Speaker 2: be the other direction Lincoln was dominating along the offensive
- 6:48Speaker 2: line the biggest you could say there was a good
- 6:50Speaker 2: contribution from everyone on the offensive side special teams made
- 6:54Speaker 2: probably a performance that may not be matched in a
- 6:57Speaker 2: while you had three big plays that led to scores
- 7:00Speaker 2: in that game two direct from special teams play and
- 7:02Speaker 2: one that set up a quick score for the Lincoln
- 7:04Speaker 2: offense and And defense, it was just trying to stop
- 7:07Speaker 2: Brian Poindexter. Poindexter had a big night for the Huskies
- 7:12Speaker 2: that set it up to where North Merion was able
- 7:14Speaker 2: to have a chance on that final drive.
- 7:16Speaker 5: Yeah, we were extremely happy with the way we played.
- 7:19Speaker 5: We've been preaching to them all week that they need
- 7:21Speaker 5: to believe in themselves, that they can beat North Merion.
- 7:24Speaker 5: We really felt like going in that we could. Made
- 7:27Speaker 5: a ton of plays, just heartbreaking at the end. And
- 7:30Speaker 5: we did. We made some big plays offensively. Obviously, special
- 7:34Speaker 5: teams were fantastic. Took advantage of some opportunities there. And, yeah,
- 7:41Speaker 5: we knew Poindexter. A lot of what happened in that
- 7:44Speaker 5: game was going to be whether or not we could
- 7:46Speaker 5: slow him down. And unfortunately, he was able to break
- 7:49Speaker 5: some long ones. We did a good job for a
- 7:51Speaker 5: long time, kind of bought on him up a little bit.
- 7:53Speaker 5: But he did make a lot of big plays there. And,
- 7:56Speaker 5: of course, they got us on the halfback pass to
- 7:59Speaker 5: point Dexter throwing the ball there, which isn't a shock
- 8:03Speaker 5: because you're so focused on trying to slow him down.
- 8:06Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 8:07Speaker 5: That, you know, we kind of had a missed assignment there.
- 8:13Speaker 5: And I think that's the thing that we need to
- 8:14Speaker 5: improve on. We need to keep the effort what it was,
- 8:17Speaker 5: keep believing in ourselves, and correct some of those misalignment
- 8:22Speaker 5: plays because we had some misalignment plays that led to
- 8:26Speaker 5: some big touchdowns, you know, led to Poindexter getting some
- 8:29Speaker 5: big plays. And then on that last drive, first down
- 8:33Speaker 5: on– on their game-winning score. You know, we had misalignment,
- 8:38Speaker 5: then we had a misalignment and a misassignment on that one,
- 8:42Speaker 5: which obviously, you know, was devastating to us. But it's
- 8:46Speaker 5: a matter of correcting the little mistakes, but building on
- 8:49Speaker 5: the positives. North Merion is obviously in a top-five team.
- 8:53Speaker 5: They're going to end up, you know, being a AAA
- 8:55Speaker 5: playoff team, hosting a playoff game, at least one of them.
- 8:59Speaker 5: And we proved that we can play right with them.
- 9:01Speaker 5: So we just need to carry that to the rest
- 9:03Speaker 5: of our season. We have five games left, and we
- 9:06Speaker 5: definitely need to win more of those. And I honestly
- 9:09Speaker 5: believe we have the opportunity to win any of them.
- 9:11Speaker 5: You know, I think we can go 5-0 down the
- 9:13Speaker 5: stretch if we believe and if we put forth the
- 9:16Speaker 5: effort that we put against North last week. But that's
- 9:19Speaker 5: the question. You know, we dropped one early to a
- 9:22Speaker 5: really good team in Elkins, who, again, is a playoff
- 9:25Speaker 5: team that's going to host a playoff game. So they're
- 9:27Speaker 5: going to be top eight at least. We felt like
- 9:30Speaker 5: we had a horrible effort against Grafton and dropped that one.
- 9:34Speaker 5: We beat South Harrison, who is proving to be a
- 9:37Speaker 5: good double-A team. And Nicklaus is no slouch either. So
- 9:41Speaker 5: we've had two good wins. It's just those other three
- 9:45Speaker 5: and the effort against Grafton, you know, are the things
- 9:48Speaker 5: that halfway through the season that, you know, we're looking
- 9:51Speaker 5: back with regret. But we need to, as I tell
- 9:55Speaker 5: them all the time, you need to take the mistake.
- 9:56Speaker 5: You need to own it. Learn from it and forget
- 9:59Speaker 5: about it. So we need to move forward. We have
- 10:01Speaker 5: five games. If we can figure out a way to
- 10:03Speaker 5: win all five, we'll probably host here at Stata Hartfield.
- 10:07Speaker 5: If we win half of them, we're probably in the playoffs.
- 10:09Speaker 5: I mean, it's just kind of how it is. But
- 10:13Speaker 5: we don't want to get stuck as a low seed
- 10:15Speaker 5: like we did last year because I think last year
- 10:17Speaker 5: we proved we could play with a really good double-A team.
- 10:21Speaker 5: And we don't want that to happen again. Hopefully we'll
- 10:25Speaker 5: be somewhere in the middle there with some winnable games.
- 10:29Speaker 5: It's just the situation we're in. In a Big Ten conference,
- 10:32Speaker 5: we're going to play a tough schedule, and we do
- 10:34Speaker 5: play a tough schedule. But we need to figure out
- 10:36Speaker 5: a way to start getting some wins. You know, two
- 10:38Speaker 5: and three right now is not where we want to be.
- 10:41Speaker 5: But we have the opportunity to make up for some
- 10:44Speaker 5: of those. And we need to do it. And we
- 10:46Speaker 5: need to make sure we have our best effort every
- 10:48Speaker 5: Friday night, starting tonight.
- 10:51Speaker 2: With that special teams play, it makes you wonder now,
- 10:53Speaker 2: as being that third element of your game, has it
- 10:56Speaker 2: really solidified the idea you're going to be a little
- 10:58Speaker 2: bit more aggressive on that side of the ball? You've
- 11:00Speaker 2: had two punt blocks here, one versus Elkins, now one
- 11:03Speaker 2: versus North Marion. You've had Caden Mooney really come alive
- 11:07Speaker 2: on– extra point attempts. Now, maybe that was a misalignment
- 11:10Speaker 2: on North Marion's part to not get to Mooney, but honestly,
- 11:13Speaker 2: he looked very good on the special team side attacking
- 11:17Speaker 2: from the outside edge. Is that something that you're going
- 11:19Speaker 2: to look to a lot to more this year? and
- 11:21Speaker 2: trying to be more advantageous on special teams. Well, on
- 11:25Speaker 2: the punt return, I think we've gone for the block
- 11:27Speaker 2: every time. We've called for a block, but it's not
- 11:32Speaker 2: an all-out bring everybody because we try to set up
- 11:34Speaker 2: the return behind it. But I definitely think, and we've
- 11:38Speaker 2: felt for two years, that special teams is one place
- 11:40Speaker 2: we have an advantage because we have so many of
- 11:43Speaker 2: those kind of kids, those skill kids.
- 11:45Speaker 5: Who can run. And who can, you know, who can hit,
- 11:49Speaker 5: tackle and make plays. So we felt like last year
- 11:54Speaker 5: we kind of underachieved on special teams. And so it's
- 11:57Speaker 5: good to see us make some plays because we really
- 11:59Speaker 5: do think that's one that's a strong thing. side of
- 12:02Speaker 5: this team is uh the guys we put on the
- 12:05Speaker 5: field for special teams and and usually we don't we
- 12:08Speaker 5: may give a guy a break here they're on special
- 12:10Speaker 5: teams but for the most part we have our best
- 12:12Speaker 5: players out there so so yeah we we need to
- 12:15Speaker 5: uh our return game needs to to figure out a
- 12:18Speaker 5: way to to get a few more you know connor
- 12:20Speaker 5: had the the touchdown return early in a year and
- 12:23Speaker 5: uh Hopefully we get a few more of those. Mooney's
- 12:26Speaker 5: a good punt returner. He's had some nice punt returns.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Hadn't broken one yet, but, but yes, I think being
- 12:32Speaker 5: aggressive on that side is something we'll do. And, uh,
- 12:35Speaker 5: kickoff wise, we've been, we've been, we don't have anybody
- 12:39Speaker 5: can kick it to the end zone. So we've tried
- 12:41Speaker 5: to been manipulating the other team. And Mooney is a
- 12:43Speaker 5: kickoff guy who we didn't know he could kick off until,
- 12:47Speaker 5: you know, Elkins pretty much. And he's done a really
- 12:51Speaker 5: good job with placing it. And, uh, And we do,
- 12:54Speaker 5: you know, eventually I think Lucas Solstheim, our exchange student
- 13:00Speaker 5: from Germany, he keeps getting better every day. So I
- 13:03Speaker 5: think eventually maybe he might even be our kickoff guy.
- 13:06Speaker 5: So special teams is a place that we think that
- 13:09Speaker 5: we can make some plays. And, of course, against North
- 13:12Speaker 5: last week we certainly showed that.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Another thing I was impressed with on the offensive side,
- 13:16Speaker 2: and we saw a lot more of it, was the
- 13:18Speaker 2: double tight end package where you Brian Brady, Herod, and
- 13:22Speaker 2: Braden Miner to block. And that really opened things up
- 13:26Speaker 2: for Connor Rice. You know, he didn't get the big
- 13:28Speaker 2: play every so often, but he did have a big
- 13:30Speaker 2: score come at the opportune time. But it seems like
- 13:33Speaker 2: he was able to get some of those three to
- 13:34Speaker 2: four to five yard plays when you had Herod and
- 13:37Speaker 2: Miner out there to help along the offensive line.
- 13:40Speaker 5: Yeah, we feel like we're a little different than we've
- 13:42Speaker 5: been in the past. And we're not as much of
- 13:44Speaker 5: a four wide receiver, even three wide receiver team. So
- 13:49Speaker 5: You know, we've been using our fullback a lot more.
- 13:52Speaker 5: Trent Moore's been doing a good job, you know, two
- 13:55Speaker 5: games ago in a past game, and he blocks really well. And,
- 13:59Speaker 5: you know, putting some other guys in there, we feel
- 14:02Speaker 5: like we're more of a, you know, pound of football
- 14:05Speaker 5: and take advantage when they're there and play action stuff.
- 14:08Speaker 5: And so having those two tight ends kind of plays
- 14:11Speaker 5: right into that. And we're developing as the season goes on,
- 14:15Speaker 5: you know. We've had a gunslinger for three years, and
- 14:18Speaker 5: we're trying to get used to the fact that he's
- 14:21Speaker 5: not there anymore. And Bear's done an excellent job when
- 14:24Speaker 5: we've put him in a position to be successful, so.
- 14:27Speaker 5: And I think, you know, that two tight end stuff
- 14:30Speaker 5: and even the two tight ends with the fullback, we're
- 14:33Speaker 5: more of a power running team than we've been in
- 14:35Speaker 5: the past. And Connor is more than capable of, you know,
- 14:38Speaker 5: picking up those tough yards. So just help him out
- 14:42Speaker 5: and get a, you know, match the guys they have
- 14:45Speaker 5: in the box. And so it's worked out well. It
- 14:48Speaker 5: worked out well against North. And I think you'll see
- 14:51Speaker 5: that moving forward a lot more.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Craig Dutton with head coach Rob Hawkins of the Lincoln Cougars,
- 14:56Speaker 2: and I think we talked off the radio a number
- 14:59Speaker 2: of times about this as well. This is a very
- 15:01Speaker 2: tough schedule. You're going into this Lewis County matchup, and
- 15:04Speaker 2: a lot of people are looking at, oh, Lincoln's 2-3,
- 15:07Speaker 2: Lewis County's 0-4. They're coming off of a bye week,
- 15:10Speaker 2: and a lot of their games have been pretty close
- 15:12Speaker 2: to the chest. Very defensive games other than the Elkins
- 15:15Speaker 2: matchup for Lewis County. They seem to be the type
- 15:18Speaker 2: of team they are really aiming to try to disrupt
- 15:20Speaker 2: the offense of Lincoln this week. and keep that game
- 15:23Speaker 2: very low scoring for them to even have a chance.
- 15:25Speaker 2: It's very possible, though, the way that Lewis County has
- 15:28Speaker 2: been playing over the years, they've been able to do
- 15:29Speaker 2: that at times, keep the game kind of low scoring
- 15:31Speaker 2: versus the Cougars.
- 15:33Speaker 5: Yeah, they are who they are, and they're going to
- 15:36Speaker 5: come out. They're going to run the football. They're going
- 15:38Speaker 5: to try to outnumber us at the point of attack,
- 15:41Speaker 5: which they'll do with a lot of motions, a lot
- 15:43Speaker 5: of stuff like that. So we definitely had to be
- 15:45Speaker 5: ready for that. And two years ago, we felt like
- 15:48Speaker 5: we were the better team against Lewis, and they came
- 15:50Speaker 5: and and did the same thing that you're talking about.
- 15:53Speaker 5: They controlled the clock and, uh, they were able to
- 15:55Speaker 5: run a football, bust a couple long runs and, uh,
- 15:58Speaker 5: they ended up beating us that night. So hopefully it's
- 16:01Speaker 5: fresh in these kids' minds and they won't overlook Lois
- 16:03Speaker 5: because on paper it's like, Oh, we get a break
- 16:06Speaker 5: this week, but there's no breaks here. You know, they've
- 16:09Speaker 5: played some really good teams so far and, uh, they
- 16:12Speaker 5: just happened to come out on a short end also.
- 16:14Speaker 5: So we definitely need to be ready for them and
- 16:17Speaker 5: prepare for that. And, uh, It's a lot like South Harrison.
- 16:21Speaker 5: We need to get them off the field and get
- 16:22Speaker 5: our offense on the field because they will chew up
- 16:24Speaker 5: a lot of clock if you give them a chance to.
- 16:26Speaker 2: At the halfway point, and this is a question I
- 16:29Speaker 2: always like to ask you in past years as well,
- 16:32Speaker 2: and this is a good opportunity to see where you
- 16:34Speaker 2: are from week one now going into week six of
- 16:38Speaker 2: the season. You're at the halfway point. Who's been overachievers
- 16:42Speaker 2: on this team up at the halfway point for Lincoln?
- 16:45Speaker 5: Well, I think everybody can see that Connor has improved
- 16:48Speaker 5: his game. And I think those two middle linebackers, if
- 16:52Speaker 5: you look at Mooney and Tripp Moore, they're developing into
- 16:58Speaker 5: quite the pair there. And you have a guy like
- 17:01Speaker 5: Brody Anderson who's starting a corner and had a huge
- 17:05Speaker 5: play the other night on special teams. Hadn't played since
- 17:08Speaker 5: his freshman year. And he has come out and kind
- 17:11Speaker 5: of stepped in. He stepped in and been able to
- 17:13Speaker 5: do a good job and And I feel like our
- 17:16Speaker 5: offensive line is really starting to find their way. You know,
- 17:20Speaker 5: there were some times early with some confusion. And I
- 17:23Speaker 5: believe a couple weeks ago you and I talked and
- 17:25Speaker 5: I told you, I think they're developing, that they can
- 17:29Speaker 5: be a really good unit. And I think they're getting there.
- 17:32Speaker 5: The last two games I feel like they've really started
- 17:35Speaker 5: coming to their own. So, for the most part, I
- 17:38Speaker 5: think our quarterback's done a good job. I think Bear's
- 17:41Speaker 5: done a good job. He's still learning the game. And
- 17:44Speaker 5: that's the thing, you know, this year's his first meaningful
- 17:48Speaker 5: high school snaps. And so he's having some growing pains,
- 17:53Speaker 5: even though he's a junior. You know, he's not perfect
- 17:56Speaker 5: right now, but I feel like he's made some big
- 17:58Speaker 5: plays and some big throws, and he gets more comfortable
- 18:01Speaker 5: every week. So we're really pleased with his development so far,
- 18:05Speaker 5: and hopefully he'll be able to keep developing. And hopefully,
- 18:10Speaker 5: you know, over the next two years, he'll give us
- 18:12Speaker 5: a solid signal caller back there.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Throw this out there as well. It's the one game
- 18:16Speaker 2: of the year where we really have the opportunity to
- 18:18Speaker 2: see what influence the West Virginia Army National Guard has
- 18:22Speaker 2: in the state and what options they have for the
- 18:24Speaker 2: student athletes. If they want to look for another option
- 18:27Speaker 2: after high school, and they do it so well by
- 18:29Speaker 2: helping sponsor with Metro News, and they do this where
- 18:32Speaker 2: they give the jerseys to schools throughout the year for
- 18:34Speaker 2: home games as part of their military appreciation night, which
- 18:37Speaker 2: is Lincoln, what they're doing this evening versus Lewis County.
- 18:40Speaker 2: It seems like that's been a great tradition over the
- 18:43Speaker 2: number of years that I've been able to be been
- 18:45Speaker 2: with this Lincoln program, that you get the opportunity to
- 18:48Speaker 2: wear those camo uniforms along with your gold helmets and
- 18:50Speaker 2: gold pants. And I've mentioned it before. I'm very partial
- 18:54Speaker 2: to how Lincoln looks in those uniforms. They look very
- 18:57Speaker 2: good compared to where you have to match it up
- 18:59Speaker 2: with like neon or, you know, different colors that you
- 19:02Speaker 2: may see around the state. But Lincoln will don those
- 19:05Speaker 2: versus Lewis County uniforms. But deeper than that, it's an
- 19:08Speaker 2: opportunity where you can honor those from the greater Shenston
- 19:11Speaker 2: community who've given their efforts in the military and honor
- 19:17Speaker 2: those who've been able to even be able to give
- 19:19Speaker 2: it all as well when you honor the military this evening.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Yeah, we have some former players who are in the Guard,
- 19:26Speaker 5: and so that makes us happy. And I wish high
- 19:29Speaker 5: school students.
- 19:32Speaker 5: I hope that they listen to the presentation that the
- 19:35Speaker 5: Guard gives because it's a wonderful opportunity, you know, not
- 19:39Speaker 5: only to serve your country, but to, you know, make
- 19:43Speaker 5: some money, to get your college paid for. But they
- 19:47Speaker 5: really have some great programs, and they're so great. with
- 19:50Speaker 5: the National Garden Night and supplying the uniforms. And, you know,
- 19:55Speaker 5: they had a photo shoot in the summer with all
- 19:58Speaker 5: the teams that are going to be wearing them and
- 20:00Speaker 5: sent out, you know, schedules. for us to pass out
- 20:05Speaker 5: to people with our players on them. It's very professionally done. So, yeah,
- 20:10Speaker 5: it's great working with those guys. And then they actually
- 20:14Speaker 5: will do a boot camp with you if you choose.
- 20:16Speaker 5: And during the first week of August, we had them
- 20:18Speaker 5: come in, and our practice was them basically giving our
- 20:22Speaker 5: guys a workout. So those guys are wonderful to work with. And,
- 20:25Speaker 5: of course, we make a military appreciation night here at Lincoln. And, yeah,
- 20:29Speaker 5: anytime you get to honor the veterans– You know, football,
- 20:33Speaker 5: unless you make the playoffs, football doesn't run into Veterans Day.
- 20:36Speaker 5: So this is our chance to, you know, honor those veterans.
- 20:40Speaker 5: And I'm sure we'll do a good job of it.
- 20:44Speaker 5: And hopefully, you know, they'll feel the appreciation. And I
- 20:48Speaker 5: know our fans will certainly make them feel the appreciation
- 20:52Speaker 5: that this community has for all of them.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Coach Hawkins, you don't want to say the idea that
- 20:57Speaker 2: Lincoln has a chip on their shoulder, but not really that.
- 20:59Speaker 2: You want them to come in. play confident like they
- 21:01Speaker 2: have been these last couple of weeks and try to
- 21:04Speaker 2: get a win over Lewis County back at home tonight,
- 21:05Speaker 2: get back to 500 on the season. I'm sure that's
- 21:08Speaker 2: a goal. You just know that they could play confidently
- 21:10Speaker 2: and we'll hopefully see that on display this evening. It's
- 21:13Speaker 2: died a hard field.
- 21:14Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. My, my message to them after the game,
- 21:17Speaker 5: after telling them, you know, how proud we were of
- 21:19Speaker 5: their effort was remember this feeling that you have right
- 21:22Speaker 5: now and carry that with you the next Friday and
- 21:25Speaker 5: take it out on Lewis County. And hopefully that's what
- 21:28Speaker 5: we'll do. You know, we, uh, We feel like we
- 21:32Speaker 5: played well enough to win last week, but unfortunately couldn't.
- 21:35Speaker 5: So we need to take that feeling. And I told him,
- 21:38Speaker 5: I said, listen, if you don't hate losing and love winning,
- 21:41Speaker 5: you're probably doing the wrong thing with your life right
- 21:44Speaker 5: now because that's a great motivator. And that pain they
- 21:50Speaker 5: felt the other night, last Friday over at Rachel's, I
- 21:54Speaker 5: hope they bring it with them this week. I've got
- 21:57Speaker 5: to tell you, I don't know if I've ever been
- 22:00Speaker 5: looking forward to a game more than tonight's game. After
- 22:03Speaker 5: you lose one, you just want to get back and
- 22:06Speaker 5: make up for it. And I hope those guys feel
- 22:08Speaker 5: the same way I do, that we can come out
- 22:11Speaker 5: of here with a win tonight and hopefully we can
- 22:14Speaker 5: build off of it and, you know, build to the postseason.
- 22:18Speaker 5: If we don't come out of here with a win tonight,
- 22:20Speaker 5: then we have a long road to hoe. But if
- 22:21Speaker 5: we come out with a win, then we're setting ourselves
- 22:23Speaker 5: up for success the rest of the way.
- 22:25Speaker 2: We'll be back as we wrap up pregame coverage of

- 25:02Speaker 2: media app, and now on the Huddle Feed courtesy of
- 25:05Speaker 2: the Harrison County Board of Education, Craig Dutton and Josh
- 25:08Speaker 2: Mudcat-Helmick with you on the call this evening. Mike Wolfer,
- 25:11Speaker 2: thoughts with him and his son, Duke, who's suffering a
- 25:13Speaker 2: little bit from a sickness. So luckily, we won't need
- 25:16Speaker 2: Mike's services tonight. Check in with my wife before getting here.
- 25:19Speaker 2: We should be in good shape as coin toss is
- 25:22Speaker 2: underway at midfield. Captains Colton Edwards, Jacob Bart, Bryson Moore,
- 25:27Speaker 2: and Connor Rice out there for Lincoln. On the other side,
- 25:30Speaker 2: I have the Lewis County Minutemen.
- 25:33Speaker 13: And they.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Lewis County Minutemen in their silver helmets, white tops, and
- 25:46Speaker 2: gray numbers and white pants for them. Lincoln in the
- 25:50Speaker 2: Gridiron Guard, your Gridiron series for the West Virginia Army
- 25:54Speaker 2: National Guard, will have their gold helmets, camo tops, and
- 25:58Speaker 2: gold pants with a triple stripe down each side of
- 26:01Speaker 2: the pants and the gold helmets. We apologize if there's
- 26:04Speaker 2: any technical issues on your end. May have just lost
- 26:06Speaker 2: a stream on your end if you're listening on the
- 26:09Speaker 2: FBY radio. and hopefully we'll be able to get that
- 26:11Speaker 2: back here shortly. But on huddle, we're glad to have
- 26:13Speaker 2: you with us as well. Your thoughts tonight, Mudcat, on
- 26:16Speaker 2: what the goals for Lincoln heading into this matchup as
- 26:20Speaker 2: they will start with the ball in defense.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to kick off to begin this game.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Lewis County likes to receive the opening toss here this evening,
- 26:31Speaker 3: and I think the key tonight is to put last
- 26:33Speaker 3: week behind you, have a solid playoff, effort defensively and
- 26:38Speaker 3: try to get some explosive plays offensively to get this
- 26:43Speaker 3: game going in the right direction. I think turnovers could
- 26:46Speaker 3: be another key here this evening, as it is just
- 26:48Speaker 3: about every week. But those are the main things that
- 26:51Speaker 3: I see. The offensive line play, the defensive line play,
- 26:55Speaker 3: get some explosive plays in the passing game to soften
- 26:58Speaker 3: up the run game for Connor Rice. and to get
- 27:01Speaker 3: off the field and get three and outs on defense
- 27:04Speaker 3: and get the ball back for your offense and try
- 27:07Speaker 3: to build momentum here this evening, Craig.
- 27:10Speaker 2: For the Lewis County Minutemen, coming with an 0-4 record.
- 27:13Speaker 2: They're rated this week 26th out of the 28 teams
- 27:17Speaker 2: in class. Triple-A Lincoln, a 14th rating after the loss
- 27:21Speaker 2: to North Merring last week. Trying to get that taste
- 27:24Speaker 2: out of their mouth. They're 0-3 on the road. This season,
- 27:27Speaker 2: 2-0 at home at Steinhardt Field. Both these teams are
- 27:31Speaker 2: 0-3 in Big Ten plays. So both these teams are
- 27:33Speaker 2: looking for their first conference win of the season as
- 27:36Speaker 2: Cade Mooney will tee it up at the 40-yard line
- 27:38Speaker 2: to our left towards the north end zone here at
- 27:41Speaker 2: Steinhardt Field. We'll kick off away towards the Minutemen. A
- 27:45Speaker 2: couple guys back there for Lewis County and Aiden Oldaker
- 27:48Speaker 2: as well as Ian Brown for the Minutemen. And we're
- 27:53Speaker 2: ready to start this sixth week of the high school
- 27:55Speaker 2: football season. Kickoff is away. It's a line drive kick
- 27:58Speaker 2: through the hands at the 30-yard line of the Minutemen.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Trying to pick up on the ground. Still on there.
- 28:02Speaker 2: And Lincoln's got it back at the 24-yard line. Bobbled
- 28:06Speaker 2: and recovered by Jacob Bart. The upman Kellen Wolverton for
- 28:12Speaker 2: Lewis County. Bobbled it and did not allow anything to
- 28:16Speaker 2: come by that return. Lincoln has it back after the kickoff.
- 28:20Speaker 3: The pregame rain may have caused the ball to get
- 28:23Speaker 3: slippery there. You might have a little bit of a
- 28:25Speaker 3: slick ball here at the beginning of this game as
- 28:26Speaker 3: it's not raining right now. But a good job by
- 28:29Speaker 3: Lincoln running down the field to recover the squib kick,
- 28:34Speaker 3: having the ball deep in Lewis County territory.
- 28:38Speaker 2: So now first and ten for Lincoln. At the 24-yard line, 25,
- 28:44Speaker 2: ball fake, sob in the pocket, pressure comes, throws a
- 28:47Speaker 2: deep one in the back of the end zone intended
- 28:50Speaker 2: for Jacob Bart, well ahead of Bart and the defender
- 28:54Speaker 2: who was ahead of Bart on that play that time,
- 28:56Speaker 2: played very conservatively in the coverage. I believe that was
- 29:00Speaker 2: Luke Berkhamer. Going back to play coverage. So second and
- 29:04Speaker 2: 10 coming up for Lincoln at the minimum 25.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Yeah, good coverage there, Lewis County, defensively on that first possession.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Neither Lincoln receiver was open on that play.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Snap and a handoff to Connor Rice. Found a crease.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Falling forward for about three yards on the play. Third
- 29:23Speaker 2: down coming up for Lincoln on the first possession.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Stump.
- 29:29Speaker 2: By Jacob Hardbarger, as well as Blake Watson for the Minutemen.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Third and seven coming up from the right side hash
- 29:35Speaker 2: at the 22 for the Cougars on their opening drive.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Off of a kick that was in to be pulled
- 29:40Speaker 2: in on one of the up men for Lewis County,
- 29:43Speaker 2: but recovered back by Jacob Bart. Two-down territory, maybe an
- 29:48Speaker 2: opportunity for Lucas Zostein, but a throw by Saab in
- 29:52Speaker 2: the air, and it's won back by Lewis County. A
- 29:56Speaker 2: turnover and Minuteman ball as Aiden Aldiger picks it off
- 30:00Speaker 2: at the 15-yard line near the first-down markers. Intended for
- 30:05Speaker 2: Jacob Bart on that reception there, Mudcat.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Tightly guarded defensively as Lewis County's secondary. The corners have
- 30:13Speaker 3: done a good job here on this first possession. tried
- 30:17Speaker 3: to tighten it in there to him, and was unable
- 30:21Speaker 3: to get it to him, and a great job defensively
- 30:23Speaker 3: for the interception, giving Lewis County the ball deep in
- 30:27Speaker 3: their own territory.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Lincoln on defense, and I'm not going to say anything
- 30:32Speaker 2: early on because last year's game started with a pick
- 30:34Speaker 2: six for Lewis County off A.J. Bart, and it was
- 30:38Speaker 2: Lincoln all the way after that, a handoff, inside right
- 30:42Speaker 2: tackle for the Lewis County Minutemen. Carry coming to their back,
- 30:49Speaker 2: trying to get a good look of him as he
- 30:51Speaker 2: gets back in the huddle. I'll say that was Ian
- 30:53Speaker 2: Brown on the carry for three yards. Second and seven.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Ball between the ashes. Missed a stomp there. Coming from
- 31:02Speaker 2: the interior for the Cougars. Either by.
- 31:06Speaker 3: Trent Brown.
- 31:07Speaker 14: I mean, sorry.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Trent Moore and Cade Mooney. Second and seven coming up.
- 31:15Speaker 2: for the Minutemen. It's going to be a play action,
- 31:18Speaker 2: rolling out left and right, and having to come back
- 31:21Speaker 2: on the play was the receiver in Ian Brown. Brown,
- 31:25Speaker 2: the last ball carrier of three yards. He had to
- 31:27Speaker 2: come back as pressure was coming onto the quarterback of
- 31:31Speaker 2: Zeke Brown, the sophomore for the Minutemen. He lobbed that
- 31:34Speaker 2: one right back to the line of scrimmage and off
- 31:36Speaker 2: the fingertips of Ian Brown. Make it third down, Nutcat.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Yeah, credit Cade Mooney there with the pressure on the
- 31:43Speaker 3: quarterback causing him to throw it kind of wide of
- 31:46Speaker 3: the margin for his running back out of the backfield.
- 31:53Speaker 2: So now on third down. Going to hand it off. No,
- 31:56Speaker 2: a double reverse. Ball was on the ground. It's still
- 31:59Speaker 2: on the ground and trying to pick it up as
- 32:01Speaker 2: it falls into the end zone. Is this going to
- 32:03Speaker 2: be a recovery and maybe a score? Where does the
- 32:07Speaker 2: ball land? It is Lincoln possession. A fumble on the play.
- 32:11Speaker 2: On the handoff by Lewis County. Getting it back for
- 32:16Speaker 2: the Cougars. Last man coming back is Brody Barnes. Not
- 32:19Speaker 2: sure if he was the recovery man, but it's going
- 32:21Speaker 2: to be first and goal for Lincoln at the one-yard line.
- 32:24Speaker 2: We've had three turnovers in the first two minutes of
- 32:27Speaker 2: this game.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Yeah, some sloppy play here early on in this one
- 32:32Speaker 3: here this evening. It's like him docking on the doorstep
- 32:34Speaker 3: here just inside a two-yard line here.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Hand off. Up the gut, not getting into the end
- 32:43Speaker 2: zone is Connor Rice. He'll be stopped for about a
- 32:45Speaker 2: loss on the play. That's a good penetration by the
- 32:48Speaker 2: Minutemen defense. In on the stop, Stevan Groves and Jackson
- 32:52Speaker 2: Butcher for the Minutemen.
- 32:56Speaker 3: Spirited effort for Lewis County defensively as Lincoln is having
- 32:59Speaker 3: a hard time establishing a run game.
- 33:07Speaker 2: So now second and goal from the three-yard line. The
- 33:10Speaker 2: snap to Saab Stretching outside is Connor Rice, and he's
- 33:14Speaker 2: going to be stopped for another loss. That's going to
- 33:17Speaker 2: be for a couple more yards to make it third
- 33:20Speaker 2: and goal from the five for Lincoln.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Lincoln going backwards here, Craig, on the two runs here.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Two carries for minus four yards after getting the ball
- 33:29Speaker 3: to one. Now third and goal. Probably forced to try
- 33:33Speaker 3: to throw the ball into the end zone here.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Clock at 923 scoreless game second possession by Lincoln both
- 33:43Speaker 2: teams had a possession early after turnovers bootleg left side
- 33:46Speaker 2: by Bear Saab has to square up throws towards the
- 33:48Speaker 2: end zone almost pulled in for the score and they're
- 33:51Speaker 2: going to say it's incomplete as he had two crossing
- 33:54Speaker 2: players and flags come at the end of the play
- 33:57Speaker 2: as the Minutemen came strong on the quarterback Bear Saab
- 34:02Speaker 2: Stevan Grobes was the man pressuring it's going to be
- 34:06Speaker 2: a personal foul roughing the passer against Lewis County We'll
- 34:11Speaker 2: see if it's an automatic. If it is, it's going
- 34:13Speaker 2: to be a first and goal from the two-yard line.
- 34:19Speaker 2: It is going to be first down after the penalty
- 34:21Speaker 2: by the Minutemen. And for Bear Saab, that was very
- 34:30Speaker 2: scary for him out of the pocket. On a third
- 34:33Speaker 2: down play, which honestly, I thought Saab got out in
- 34:37Speaker 2: plenty of time for Groves to back off. Heavy look
- 34:40Speaker 2: for Lincoln in the backfield. It's going to be a
- 34:42Speaker 2: keeper by Colton Edwards. Hand off to Connor Rice, and
- 34:45Speaker 2: he's going to be stopped for a loss of two.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Great scouting by this Lewis County team as they are
- 34:51Speaker 2: winning the battle up front.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Yeah, Lincoln able to create a hole up the middle,
- 34:55Speaker 3: try to run it up the middle, and they are
- 34:57Speaker 3: in the backfield as soon as Connor Rice gets the
- 35:00Speaker 3: ball as they had it solved on the sidelines on
- 35:06Speaker 3: that play. So now bring it second and go with
- 35:08Speaker 3: the five-yard line.
- 35:14Speaker 2: So now Lincoln, second and goal at the five. Saab
- 35:16Speaker 2: rolls out to his left. Throws into the end zone.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Caught by Colton Edwards for the touchdown from five yards out.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Lincoln will strike first at the 8.38 mark here in
- 35:27Speaker 2: the opening quarter. With the PAT coming up, Lucas Zostheim
- 35:31Speaker 2: coming out to attempt the extra point for Lincoln.
- 35:34Speaker 3: Nice roll out by Saab holding the ball and waiting
- 35:38Speaker 3: on Edwards to get open. Edwards did a good job
- 35:40Speaker 3: getting open and Saab getting him the ball for the
- 35:44Speaker 3: nice five-yard touchdown reception.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Holder, Brody Barnes, will take the snap. A little high,
- 35:51Speaker 2: gets it down in time, but the kick goes wide
- 35:53Speaker 2: left as a snap went behind the shoulder of Barnes.
- 35:56Speaker 2: He had to pull it down quickly. It'll remain a
- 35:59Speaker 2: 6-0 lead for Lincoln over Lewis County. We'll take a
- 36:02Speaker 2: break and come back to Stidehart Field in coverage of
- 36:05Speaker 2: Lincoln Cougar football.

- 36:41Speaker 1: All season long on 93.5, the FBY.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Back at Steinhardt Field, 6-0 lead, 8.38 to go in
- 36:54Speaker 2: the opening quarter for Lincoln over Lewis County after a
- 36:56Speaker 2: five-yard touchdown pass on an out route left side from
- 36:59Speaker 2: Bear Saab to Colton Edwards. And biggest story so far
- 37:04Speaker 2: has been the run game. It's been shut down for
- 37:05Speaker 2: the Cougars in the two quick opening drives they've had.
- 37:08Speaker 3: Yeah, Connor's had four carries for negative three yards so
- 37:13Speaker 3: far here this evening. Credit Lewis County balling up the
- 37:17Speaker 3: middle of that line.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Kickoff is away by Caden Mooney. Down the middle, off
- 37:22Speaker 2: of his legs, falling forward. Lincoln's going to try to
- 37:24Speaker 2: get back. It's still on the ground. And Isaiah Ice,
- 37:26Speaker 2: I believe, has it back for Lincoln. That is a
- 37:29Speaker 2: third turnover by Lewis County in three and a half
- 37:33Speaker 2: minutes of this ballgame, Mudcat.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Lewis having a hard time with that squib kickoff by
- 37:39Speaker 3: Caden Mooney here this evening. as he had it in
- 37:42Speaker 3: his hands and kind of kicked it out of his
- 37:44Speaker 3: own hands. And then Lincoln able to recover the ball
- 37:47Speaker 3: deep in Lewis County territory, knocking on the door once again.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Here early, see if Lincoln can capitalize once again on
- 37:55Speaker 3: the mistakes of Lewis County.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Yeah, we thought it was Isaiah Ice, but senior Brady Herod,
- 38:00Speaker 2: who came from Liberty High School, made the recovery. First
- 38:03Speaker 2: and 10 for Lincoln and Baresaub with a good count
- 38:06Speaker 2: along the line. Has a second penalty of the night
- 38:09Speaker 2: versus Lewis County. A offsides call to make it first
- 38:14Speaker 2: and five from the 23 for the Cougars. This is
- 38:17Speaker 2: their third possession, only 831 on the first quarter clock
- 38:20Speaker 2: with them up 6-0.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Yeah, three possessions all started inside the Lewis County 30,
- 38:26Speaker 3: and only to come away with six points. You've got
- 38:28Speaker 3: to credit Lewis' defense for standing up, having bad field position.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Bear sobbing the pistol. Blocker back in front of Connor Rice.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Good start that time by the back, Rice. And he'll
- 38:41Speaker 2: dive down near the first down markers inside the red zone.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Stopped by the Minutemen. and it'll be about a yard
- 38:48Speaker 2: shy of getting that first down. Four-yard run by the
- 38:51Speaker 2: senior Connor Rice, who coming into this game, 677 yards
- 38:55Speaker 2: on the season, and with a couple carries there, probably
- 38:59Speaker 2: breaking even when it's all said and done in this
- 39:02Speaker 2: first quarter.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Five carries, one yard so far for Connor Rice.
- 39:05Speaker 2: About right. Second and one handoff by Connor Rice. This
- 39:09Speaker 2: time he has to be triple-teamed to be brought down
- 39:11Speaker 2: near the 15-yard line. Jackson Butcher, as well as Jacob Hardbarger,
- 39:16Speaker 2: and that's going to be a first down for Lincoln there.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Second in the game. He brought down at the 16,
- 39:24Speaker 2: gain of three. First and 10 for Lincoln. and they're
- 39:30Speaker 2: starting to get the ball rolling. Shotgun look with Rice,
- 39:37Speaker 2: but look the throw, throws for the back corner, intended
- 39:40Speaker 2: for Colton Edwards, overthrows him, but Edwards was double teamed
- 39:44Speaker 2: in that corner of the end zone on the flag route,
- 39:46Speaker 2: brings up second down and long. It was just one
- 39:48Speaker 2: of those situations Saab probably didn't have a good look
- 39:50Speaker 2: from behind the line, didn't roll out that time before
- 39:53Speaker 2: the throw to Edwards.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Yeah, they've doubled our wideouts, both of them. Both Bard
- 39:57Speaker 3: and Edwards have been doubled. Both times they've gone out
- 39:59Speaker 3: and tried to throw one deep. Maybe try to get
- 40:03Speaker 3: Connor Rice out in the flat on a pass play,
- 40:05Speaker 3: possibly we could soften up this defense.
- 40:10Speaker 2: So second down, they're waiting for the call from Kobe Carpenter.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Braden Miner has a tight end left side. Rice behind
- 40:17Speaker 2: the quarterback, Saab. Two receivers right, single receiver left hand
- 40:21Speaker 2: off to Rice. Stretches out to the left towards the flanker, Barb,
- 40:25Speaker 2: and will be stomped after a very minimal gain. As
- 40:28Speaker 2: the Minutemen defense did a good job following Rice. Gain
- 40:32Speaker 2: of one, third and nine from the 15 for the
- 40:34Speaker 2: Cougars on the left side hash.
- 40:36Speaker 3: Rice having a hard time getting going here this evening.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Credit the defensive effort so far for Lewis County. as
- 40:42Speaker 3: their special teams and offense has put their defense in
- 40:45Speaker 3: a bad situation here in this first half of this
- 40:48Speaker 3: first quarter.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Now, special teams, again, making... It's self-known for Lincoln in
- 40:54Speaker 2: this matchup, 3-1 on turnover. Saab on third down, hesitating
- 40:58Speaker 2: on the pressure, throws down the middle, and is caught
- 41:00Speaker 2: by Brody Barnes from split in and to the post.
- 41:04Speaker 2: That will be the first receiving touchdown of the season
- 41:09Speaker 2: by Brody Barnes from 14 yards out for the Cougars.
- 41:14Speaker 2: That's two passing touchdowns on the night for junior Bear Saab.
- 41:18Speaker 3: Both of his completions have gone for touchdowns as Lincoln
- 41:20Speaker 3: now takes a 12-0 lead here, getting ready for the
- 41:24Speaker 3: extra point.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Could easily be one of those nights. They may depend
- 41:29Speaker 2: on Saab. Good hold this time for Lucas Zostheim and
- 41:33Speaker 2: kick is through the uprights to give Lincoln a 13-0 lead, 6.50
- 41:38Speaker 2: to go in the opening quarter. We'll take a 30-second
- 41:40Speaker 2: break and come back to Steinhardt Field on Military Appreciation Night.
- 41:44Speaker 2: On 93.5, the FBY. This break brought to you by GoMart.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Before or after the game, go for good times. Go
- 41:50Speaker 2: for GoMart.
- 41:52Speaker 5: Hey, everybody.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Tony Carini here. And Brad Howe.
- 41:55Speaker 16: Tony, why are you wearing platform shoes?
- 41:58Speaker 17: Brad, it's called Committing to the Groove. We're living the
- 42:01Speaker 17: retro vibes with GoMart.
- 42:02Speaker 16: Well, in that case, I'm grabbing my oversized sunglasses because
- 42:05Speaker 16: it's time to strut right into deals on fuel, snacks,
- 42:08Speaker 16: and more at your favorite GoMart location.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Can you dig it?
- 42:11Speaker 18: Those righteous bargains are all happening through the GoMart app
- 42:13Speaker 18: and our rewards program, man.
- 42:15Speaker 2: So get down and sign up. Go for good times.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Go for good vibes. And go to GoMart. Stay groovy, baby.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Let's get back to the action with your Lincoln Cougars
- 42:26Speaker 1: on 93.5, the FBY.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Back at Steinhardt Field, 13-0 lead for Lincoln over Lewis County,
- 42:37Speaker 2: nearing the halfway mark of the first quarter. Craig and
- 42:41Speaker 2: Mudcat with you on the call tonight. Mike, unable to
- 42:43Speaker 2: be with us at this moment. Hopefully they're doing well.
- 42:46Speaker 2: It's been a wet evening, but. Early on, Lewis County struggled,
- 42:49Speaker 2: and it's off the fingertips again of the return man
- 42:52Speaker 2: for Lewis County. At that time, Luke Burkhammer tried to
- 42:55Speaker 2: pull it into 30, went out of his fingertips. Luckily,
- 42:57Speaker 2: it went out of bounds.
- 42:58Speaker 3: So lucky he was near the sidelines. Lincoln had a
- 43:00Speaker 3: chance to come up with another one here in his
- 43:03Speaker 3: first quarter as their up men are having all kinds
- 43:06Speaker 3: of problems holding on to that football once it's kicked
- 43:09Speaker 3: to them.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Two recoveries off of a mishandling of Lewis County on
- 43:14Speaker 2: special teams. Those were recovered by Brady Harrod. Jacob Bart,
- 43:18Speaker 2: and I had Brody Barnes for the recovery when they
- 43:20Speaker 2: had a mishandle in the backfield on the double reverse play.
- 43:23Speaker 2: So that's three turnovers by Lewis County, nearing a halfway
- 43:26Speaker 2: mark here in the first quarter. They're down by two scores.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Quarterback Zeke Brown back under center. It'll be a handoff
- 43:33Speaker 2: to Ian Brown following his blocks ahead, and he's got
- 43:36Speaker 2: a nice little carry there. But Lincoln making the stop,
- 43:39Speaker 2: Colton Edwards, as well as Jaden Thompson. It'll be a
- 43:43Speaker 2: three-yard run.
- 43:47Speaker 3: Trying to go around. He's right side there. Found a
- 43:49Speaker 3: little bit of success. Good job defensively, though, him and
- 43:52Speaker 3: Brandon for only the three-yard gain.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Second down coming up for the Minutemen. They're taking their
- 43:59Speaker 2: time on this play call. Not the biggest crowd tonight.
- 44:03Speaker 2: I think the rain scared off a lot of people.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Glad to have people listening in on the FBY tonight
- 44:07Speaker 2: as Zeke Brown goes back under center, two backs behind him.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Bootleg to their left side, and they sniff that out
- 44:14Speaker 2: defensively for Lincoln. As Jacob Bart was leading away from
- 44:18Speaker 2: the safety position, and Cade Mooney came in to help
- 44:21Speaker 2: clean up on the play, it'll result in a two-yard loss,
- 44:26Speaker 2: third and nine coming up from the 29 on the
- 44:29Speaker 2: left side scene for Lewis County after the tackle for loss.
- 44:34Speaker 3: The bootleg out there to the left side for... Zeke Brown,
- 44:38Speaker 3: all he found was Lincoln defenders who went once he
- 44:41Speaker 3: rolled out there.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Third and long coming up for the Minutemen. Need to
- 44:46Speaker 2: convert to the 38. They're going to send two receivers
- 44:49Speaker 2: out for the quarterback. Zeke Brown. And line up backs
- 44:53Speaker 2: to each side. A quick throw out quickly. And into
- 44:57Speaker 2: the hands of the receiver, Ian Brown, as the pressure
- 45:00Speaker 2: was conservative there by Brody Barnes and trips up the
- 45:04Speaker 2: other defender. Barnes trying to wrap up the player at
- 45:07Speaker 2: the goal line. It's going to be... Oh, a first
- 45:11Speaker 2: and goal at the one-yard line. So he was stopped
- 45:15Speaker 2: by Brody Barnes, who missed the coverage on Ian Brown.
- 45:17Speaker 2: And that's going to result... In a 70-yard pass from
- 45:28Speaker 2: the 29 all the way down to the 1. It'll
- 45:32Speaker 2: be first and goal for Lewis County. Their opportunity to
- 45:35Speaker 2: score here.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Almost had the interception right there and unable to come
- 45:39Speaker 3: up with it. And then Ian Brown was able to
- 45:42Speaker 3: haul it in from the backfield for the 70-yard completion
- 45:46Speaker 3: down to the link and won a timeout here on
- 45:48Speaker 3: the field, Craig.
- 45:49Speaker 2: A timeout taken. Twingside may be on the Cougars here.
- 45:54Speaker 2: We'll take the timeout with them and come back to
- 45:56Speaker 2: Stidehart Field in coverage of Lincoln Cougar football. 13-0 lead
- 45:59Speaker 2: for Lincoln, but Lewis County threatening on first and goal.

- 46:41Speaker 1: Lincoln Cougar High School football is on the air at 93.5,
- 46:45Speaker 1: the FB1.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Back in Shenston, 5.07 left in the first quarter, 13-0
- 46:55Speaker 2: lead for the 2-3 Lincoln Cougars hosting the 0-4 Lewis
- 46:58Speaker 2: County Minutemen. But Minutemen threatening here, first and goal. from
- 47:02Speaker 2: the one-yard line for the Minutemen after a 70-yard reception
- 47:06Speaker 2: from Zeke Brown to Ian Brown. And that was a
- 47:10Speaker 2: misread again by Barnes, but he was able to make
- 47:12Speaker 2: up for it when the legs were cut of Colton
- 47:14Speaker 2: Edwards and save face to set up a first-and-goal situation.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Lucky to go with the tackler to save the touchdown,
- 47:20Speaker 3: but Lewis County knocking on the door after the Brown-to-Brown connection.
- 47:24Speaker 3: We're used to saying Bart-to-Bart last year, now it's Brown-to-Brown
- 47:27Speaker 3: for Lewis County.
- 47:29Speaker 2: It's a big first-down reception, Nate. Timeout was an official's timeout.
- 47:33Speaker 2: The official was being checked out by McKenzie Hawkins. And
- 47:35Speaker 2: the ball was lost on the ground at the line
- 47:38Speaker 2: of scrimmage. The quarterback, see if he got it back
- 47:41Speaker 2: for the Minutemen. He did. The quarterback, Zeke Brown, lost
- 47:46Speaker 2: it on the snap from behind center. And Minutemen have
- 47:49Speaker 2: it back. That is a fourth fumble by Lewis County
- 47:52Speaker 2: in this game when we're just over the halfway mark
- 47:54Speaker 2: in the first quarter.
- 47:55Speaker 3: Lucky to get that one back. No gain on the play.
- 47:59Speaker 3: Second down and goal.
- 47:59Speaker 2: 4.30 to go in the opening quarter. 13-point lead, but
- 48:08Speaker 2: Lewis County trying to strike. Officials blow the play dead
- 48:12Speaker 2: as it had a player tying her shoe inside the
- 48:14Speaker 2: end zone for Lincoln. Here's B. Braden Miner, defensive end,
- 48:18Speaker 2: and he's now ready to go. They'll restart the play
- 48:20Speaker 2: clock for Lewis County. Under center goes Zeke Brown. Two
- 48:27Speaker 2: backs in the backfield. Ian Brown to his left. It's
- 48:30Speaker 2: going to be a quarterback keeper diving forward towards the
- 48:33Speaker 2: goal line, and it's a touchdown for Lewis County. The
- 48:36Speaker 2: sophomore QB, Zeke Brown, just had enough to stretch it
- 48:40Speaker 2: over the goal line, and they break into that two-score
- 48:42Speaker 2: lead of Lincoln with 4-12 left in the opening quarter
- 48:46Speaker 2: after the QB dive.
- 48:48Speaker 3: Hated by that 70-yard pass play. Lewis County able to
- 48:53Speaker 3: punch it in, making this a one-score game.
- 49:00Speaker 2: And now for the Minutemen. Send out their kicker onto
- 49:05Speaker 2: the field, Aiden Oldecker, to kick the extra point. Lincoln
- 49:09Speaker 2: had success in stopping field goals last week. That time
- 49:12Speaker 2: they catch on Cade Mooney, but the kick goes through
- 49:14Speaker 2: for Oldaker, and I'll make it a 13-7 lead for
- 49:18Speaker 2: Lincoln still, but first score put on by the Minutemen.
- 49:22Speaker 2: We'll take a break here in coverage of Lincoln Cougar

- 50:16Speaker 2: Back at Steinhardt Field, Craig Dutton, Josh Mudcat-Helmick with you
- 50:19Speaker 2: on the call tonight on The FBY. It's Military Appreciation Night.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Mitch Osborne, public address announcer here at Steinhardt Field, is
- 50:27Speaker 2: asking for every representative of the branches of the armed
- 50:31Speaker 2: services to stand up. And be honored this evening. Most
- 50:36Speaker 2: of them will be a five. There are six. I
- 50:38Speaker 2: don't think there's many in the Space Force program as
- 50:40Speaker 2: of yet.
- 50:41Speaker 3: Probably not. But it's a great honor to honor the
- 50:46Speaker 3: military as we are very proud of what they do
- 50:49Speaker 3: for us each and every day.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Great opportunity to do so. Lincoln in the camo uniforms
- 50:54Speaker 2: brought to you by the West Virginia Army National Guard. Kickoff.
- 50:58Speaker 2: away by Aiden Oldecker. This one's kicked from left to
- 51:01Speaker 2: right and pulled in at the 22-yard line by Lincoln
- 51:05Speaker 2: and slips up and falls down to 35, trying to
- 51:08Speaker 2: get a good eye on who the return man is
- 51:10Speaker 2: for the Cougars. Trying to come back to the lineup here,
- 51:16Speaker 2: and that's going to be Cade Mooney on the return.
- 51:18Speaker 2: That'll be a 7-yard return. Set up a first and
- 51:24Speaker 2: 10 on the left side seam for the Cougars at
- 51:26Speaker 2: their own 34.
- 51:28Speaker 3: Well, they can finally get the ball in their own
- 51:30Speaker 3: end of the field to see if they can put
- 51:32Speaker 3: a drive together with a lot of field to go.
- 51:34Speaker 2: They want to balance the pass, maybe a little bit
- 51:37Speaker 2: more heavy run, but right now Bear Saab's had a
- 51:39Speaker 2: good opening quarter, two touchdown passes. First and ten, Saab
- 51:43Speaker 2: will hand off. Connor Rice dips and dives around a
- 51:45Speaker 2: couple defenders, gets a few yards on the play. Still
- 51:49Speaker 2: second and long coming up. After the stomp by Lewis
- 51:54Speaker 2: County's Will Hovis. And a handful of others for the Minutemen.
- 51:58Speaker 2: Two-yard run. They'll make it second and eight from the 36.
- 52:03Speaker 3: Connor finding a hard time getting any yards up the
- 52:05Speaker 3: middle here so far here this evening.
- 52:08Speaker 2: And the shotgun, fake the handoff, bootleg left side by Beresop,
- 52:11Speaker 2: throws out a quick hitter to Braden Miner at midfield, 45, 40,
- 52:15Speaker 2: cuts it back inside, still on his feet, he's going
- 52:18Speaker 2: to 30, 20, 10, one more guy to beat the five,
- 52:22Speaker 2: touchdown Lincoln, as Braden Miner scooted his way down the
- 52:26Speaker 2: field for a 64-yard touchdown pass. A very similar play
- 52:33Speaker 2: that Lincoln ran versus Nicholas County where Trent Moore was
- 52:36Speaker 2: in that fullback slot. He wheeled his way around, followed
- 52:39Speaker 2: his blockers to about the 40-yard line, and then he
- 52:42Speaker 2: made the most integral part of that play. He cut
- 52:44Speaker 2: it back inside and got to have three or four
- 52:46Speaker 2: Lewis County defenders on his way to the end zone
- 52:48Speaker 2: to the right.
- 52:49Speaker 3: He caught it, used his athletic ability, and showed his
- 52:52Speaker 3: speed off from the tight end position. You normally don't
- 52:54Speaker 3: see a tight end with breakaway speed, but Braden Miner
- 52:57Speaker 3: was able to show it right there for the 64-yard touchdown.
- 53:00Speaker 2: Kick by Lucas Zostheim is good. He'll make it a
- 53:04Speaker 2: 20-7 lead for Lincoln. 3.24 left in the opening quarter.
- 53:09Speaker 2: We'll take another 30-second break. This break brought to you

- 53:50Speaker 16: Your home for the Lincoln Cougars is right here on 93.5
- 53:55Speaker 16: The FBY.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Back at Lincoln here in Shenston tonight, 20-7 lead, and
- 54:05Speaker 2: Braden Miner, 64-yard touchdown pass on a route to the
- 54:10Speaker 2: shallow left end on a flat route, and he was
- 54:13Speaker 2: able to wheel it upfield for a big score, all
- 54:14Speaker 2: that off the legs of the senior tight end. And,
- 54:17Speaker 2: you know, Rob Hockett says if they ever run into
- 54:18Speaker 2: a situation with a secondary, Miner's going to move right
- 54:21Speaker 2: back there and play secondary. He proved it there, Mudcat.
- 54:23Speaker 3: Yeah, he showed his athletic ability, and a couple of
- 54:26Speaker 3: nice blocks to spring him as well.
- 54:29Speaker 2: Kickoff by Caden Mooney, drops at the 20-yard line, picked
- 54:31Speaker 2: up by Ian Brown, trying to follow his blockers ahead,
- 54:35Speaker 2: and he's wrapped up after about a six-yard return. A
- 54:38Speaker 2: good return by Lewis County because of the pure fact
- 54:40Speaker 2: they didn't fumble that time.
- 54:42Speaker 3: Well, that time they let the ball hit and go
- 54:44Speaker 3: back to their deep, the deep man probably with the
- 54:46Speaker 3: best hands on the team back there, and one of
- 54:49Speaker 3: the other men did not try to recover that kickoff
- 54:53Speaker 3: that time.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Had trouble seeing him at the stop. Maybe Braden Miner
- 54:56Speaker 2: or Connor Rice on the stop. First and 10 on
- 54:59Speaker 2: the right side seam at the 28-yard line for the Minutemen.
- 55:03Speaker 2: As we're still in the latter part of the first quarter.
- 55:06Speaker 2: 318 on a clock here. And a 13-point lead for
- 55:10Speaker 2: Lincoln with Minutemen back on offense. Minutemen had a big
- 55:16Speaker 2: 70-yard pass play. Set up that last drive and score.
- 55:20Speaker 2: Zeke Brown, the sophomore, pressure from Braden Miner. Throws it ahead.
- 55:23Speaker 2: tipped up out of bounds by the defender. That's Jacob Bart.
- 55:27Speaker 2: What a nice deflection by Bart to just knock it
- 55:30Speaker 2: in to the Lewis County Faithful and bring up a
- 55:34Speaker 2: second down.
- 55:35Speaker 3: That's a great job by Jacob Bart, getting the ball
- 55:38Speaker 3: deflected out of bounds where we were unable to do
- 55:41Speaker 3: it the previous pass play that went for 70 yards,
- 55:44Speaker 3: able to knock it out for the incompletion.
- 55:46Speaker 2: That may have been Ian Brown who was out there
- 55:49Speaker 2: playing as receiver. They'll bring him in the run-to-ball times
- 55:53Speaker 2: and also as a threat as a receiver for this
- 55:56Speaker 2: Minutemen team. Second and 10 along the right seam as
- 56:02Speaker 2: temperatures cool down. It's drying out here after the heavy
- 56:06Speaker 2: and soaking rain before kickoff tonight. Shotgun handoff to Ian
- 56:09Speaker 2: Brown following his blockers on a sweet play and pushed
- 56:12Speaker 2: out of bounds by Lincoln's Brody Anderson. Bring up third
- 56:17Speaker 2: down and shorter here for the Minutemen.
- 56:22Speaker 3: Brown taking it over the road, kind of like a
- 56:25Speaker 3: sweep run kind of deal around the right end.
- 56:28Speaker 2: Holding is a call against the Minutemen. It would have
- 56:32Speaker 2: been a tackle by Brody Anderson as he pushed Ian
- 56:34Speaker 2: Brown out of bounds. But the penalty will now make
- 56:38Speaker 2: it second and long for Lewis County.
- 56:45Speaker 3: Lewis making too many mistakes here early. To overcome, really,
- 56:51Speaker 3: the 80 into this Lincoln 13-point lead here in this
- 56:54Speaker 3: first quarter.
- 56:57Speaker 2: So it's going to be second and 18. The flag
- 57:02Speaker 2: was thrown at the 30-yard line. Eight-yard penalty. Three penalties
- 57:07Speaker 2: for 16 yards against Lewis County in the shotgun. Zeke
- 57:10Speaker 2: Brown takes a snap and tends to throw it on
- 57:13Speaker 2: an out route to Kellen Wolverton. tied in for the Minutemen.
- 57:17Speaker 2: It'll bring up third and long for Lewis County. Let's
- 57:21Speaker 2: see what they have up their sleeve. They were able
- 57:23Speaker 2: to benefit from a long pass to Ian Brown on
- 57:27Speaker 2: the misread by the defensive secondary of Lincoln the last time.
- 57:31Speaker 2: But now the Cougars in this situation, they want to
- 57:33Speaker 2: prove something that they want to prove upon from last week.
- 57:35Speaker 2: They had like fourth and very long versus North Marion
- 57:39Speaker 2: and allowed first downs versus the Huskies.
- 57:41Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of times I'd heard them last week.
- 57:43Speaker 3: North Marion able to take to get first downs on
- 57:46Speaker 3: fourth down, and at least eight, I believe it was,
- 57:49Speaker 3: last week.
- 57:51Speaker 2: Third and long for Zeke Brown, trying to get his
- 57:53Speaker 2: snap off quickly as Lincoln's offset. In the pocket, looks
- 57:56Speaker 2: to throw, throws overhead. The intended receivers, Aiden Oldacre and
- 58:01Speaker 2: Kellen Wolverton. I'm saying both because the throw came before
- 58:04Speaker 2: both receivers were looking, Mudcat.
- 58:06Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like he kind of overthrew Wolverton and
- 58:09Speaker 3: underthrew Oldacre. for the incompletion there, bring him up fourth down,
- 58:14Speaker 3: a punting situation for Lewis County.
- 58:20Speaker 2: 2.57 on the first quarter clock, 20-7 lead for Lincoln.
- 58:23Speaker 2: Lincoln with a 2-3 record, trying to knot it back
- 58:26Speaker 2: up to a 500 record. They've been perfect at home,
- 58:28Speaker 2: and so far they're doing well here. Aidan Ulricher stands
- 58:32Speaker 2: inside the 10. High snap. Pulls it down. Gets it
- 58:35Speaker 2: off in time. It's going to sky arc into the
- 58:38Speaker 2: air and drop at the 30. And picking it up
- 58:42Speaker 2: quickly for Lincoln as it went off the front chest
- 58:45Speaker 2: of the up man, Tanner Blankenship. He'll get it back.
- 58:48Speaker 2: It'll be Lincoln ball at the 33. So that is
- 58:50Speaker 2: a mishandle. By Blankenship on that return as he was
- 58:59Speaker 2: one of the up men and it bounced off his chest,
- 59:01Speaker 2: he just grabbed it to be sure. But the pressure
- 59:04Speaker 2: coming from Isaiah Ice almost got a hand on it.
- 59:08Speaker 2: The net yardage on that punt. is no more than
- 59:11Speaker 2: maybe about 13 yards for Oldicker.
- 59:15Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 59:16Speaker 3: The punt hit Brady Harrod and he was able to
- 59:20Speaker 3: recover it, giving Lincoln great field position here.
- 59:24Speaker 2: Pistol set for Bear Saab. Behind him stands Connor Rice.
- 59:28Speaker 2: Fake the handoff. On the play action. Throws to his
- 59:31Speaker 2: left for the back of the end zone.
- 59:33Speaker 12: And caught.
- 59:34Speaker 2: Touchdown Lincoln. And that is going to be Colton Edwards
- 59:39Speaker 2: I believe on the reception and score. That's his first
- 59:43Speaker 2: touchdown of the evening. And we have three different receivers.
- 59:53Speaker 2: That's actually three different receivers. Edwards second receiving touchdown of
- 59:56Speaker 2: the night. And that one coming from 33 yards for
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: the Cougars.
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: All completion from Saab so far. All four have been
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: for touchdowns here this evening.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: Lucas Zostheim's extra point kick is up and through the uprights.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: 27-7 is the score. 2.38 left here in the first quarter.

- 1:01:12Speaker 2: Craig and Mudcat back with you here at Steinhardt Field.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: Two touchdowns on the night receiving for Colton Edwards on
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: the season. That is his seventh, sixth and seventh. And
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: for Bearsop, had seven touchdowns passing. I mean, he has
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: four on the night. Kickoff away by Cade Mooney. Picked
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: up at the 29 by Kellen Wolverton. He's going to
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: be dropped quickly by Lincoln, Isaiah Ice, as well as
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: Brody Anderson. And that's going to be a first and
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: ten for Lewis County. 233 to go in the opening quarter.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: on his 20-point lead by Lincoln-Muttkamp.
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: Finally able to solve that pooch-squib kickoff of Cade Mooney,
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: the Wolverton, able to have no problem recovering that one
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: and getting a slight gain after he recovered it for
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: Lewis County.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: So now, Lewis County on offense, first to 10 ball
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: between the hashes. At the 32 after a three-yard return
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: by Wolverton. Under center goes Zeke Brown. Hand off to
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: Ian Brown. Met at the line of scrimmage as he's
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: trying to work his way outside of the right tackle.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: Might be a loss on the play. Trying to see
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: who got it. The stop for Lincoln it is. It's
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: going to be a two-yard loss. Second and 12 coming
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: up from the right side seam. We'll say Colton Edwards
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: on a stop. He's able to do that from that
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: strong safety position. He's been... He's been... nailing down some
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: of those tackles for loss at Risa Games, Mudcat.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: Yeah, he's done a good job. He's had a defensive
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: effort here tonight so far for Cole Nelvers, the first
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: tackle for loss here, the second tackle for loss here
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: this evening for Lincoln.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: Brown under center. Quickly wants to throw as Bryson Moore
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: comes pressuring in, throws a deep one and out of play.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: I'll bring up third and 12. as Bryson from the
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: nose tackle was able to get through the line and
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: almost got a hand on Zeke Brown.
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: Kind of sideswiped the center and a guard right there.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: Coming free almost with the tackle. Nice pressure from Bryson
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: Moore bringing up third down on 12 for Lewis County.
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: We're still in his first quarter, Craig. 27-7 lead for
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: the Cougars.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: Glad to have everyone listening tonight as Lincoln on Military
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Appreciation Night has this substantial lead and a lot more
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: comfortable lead they've had early in the game by three scores.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: Zeke Brown on third and long, back at the 30-yard line,
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: need to convert at the 42. Will hand the ball off,
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: trying to find the crease as Ian Brown and met
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: with a hit stick was Cade Mooney, squared up, made
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: the stop at the 36-yard line. Got a nice little carry,
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: but he'll bring up fourth and five, only a seven-yard
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: carry as Cade Mooney played conservatively and made the stop
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: for the Cougars.
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: Yeah, good job preventing Ian Brown from getting a first down.
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: Nice run from Ian Brown there on third down and long.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Fourth down, punting situation for Lewis County.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Cade Mooney coming in. 60 tackles on the season. With
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: that last one, he's at 63 currently. As a junior
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: for this Cougar team, led all tacklers last season. The
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: punt is away by Oldecker. Mooney back to return. Bounces
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: at the 41, goes back upfield, and diving on it
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: for Lewis County was Stevan Groves. As the bounce got
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: five more yards for Lincoln. It'll be first and ten
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: for the Cougars from their own 45 just inside the
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: right seam facing the south end zone and the band
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: booster concession stand.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Had a wrong spin on that ball for Lewis County
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: as it went toward their end of the field. Nice
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: bounce there for Lincoln here on that punt.
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: Glad to have everyone listening tonight. Halfway mark of the season.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: Lincoln a 2-3 record. Trying to get back in on
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: the season with a 500 record. Holding around with a
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: 20-point lead. Saab will hand off to Connor Rice. Follows
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: his blockers as a little bit of miscommunication, misalignment along
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: the front line for the Minutemen. He'll actually break off
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: one of his bigger runs of the night of six yards.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: He'll bring up second and four after he crosses midfield
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: to the Minutemen 49.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: Maybe starting to wear Lewis County's defense down a little
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: bit as they've been on the field here a lot
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: here in this first quarter. Connor with a nice six-yard
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: run up the middle there.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: I do want to see him try to get a
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: score here. It's been four touchdowns out of the arm
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: of Bear Saab. A first down and more as he's
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: tripped up by the third line of defense for Lewis County.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: It'll be a first and 10 from the 36. That'll
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: be a 13-yard run by the senior Connor Rice, and
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: now that's his biggest run of the night.
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: Yeah, it's starting to... establish himself a little bit as
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: this will be the last play of the first quarter, Craig.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: 27-7 is the score for Lincoln after one quarter of play.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: A lot of mistakes on special teams early on by
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Lewis County to set this one up. We'll see if
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: the Minutemen can establish themselves as they start the second
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: quarter action. The second quarter break as we head in,

- 1:07:05Speaker 1: Let's get back to the action with your Lincoln Cougars
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: on 93.5 The FBY.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: Back at Steidahar Field, start of the second quarter, 27-7
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: lead for 2-3 Lincoln over 0-4 Lewis County. Craig Dutton,
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Josh Mudcat-Helmick with you on the call. Tonight from Steidahar
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: Field in Shenson this evening, named after famed Joe Steidahar,
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: a professional athlete and, I believe, a famed athlete out
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: of this area of Harrison County.
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: Shenson High alumni, Joe Steidahar, that's what this field's named after. Lincoln,
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: doing him proud so far here this evening.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: There's Saab on the play action, throws out right side
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: on the flat, and completes it to the tight end,
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: Braden Miner. It's a nice little play there out of
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: the hands of Kobe Carpenter in the offense for Lincoln
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: as they pull the tight end, Miner, and he sets
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: up as a good, like, shallow screen option for Saab.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: It's going to be a five-yard reception to Miner to
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: make it second and five at the Minutemen 31.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: Nice play out of the call off the play-action fake
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: there from Saab to Miner for five yards.
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: Second and five, handoff to Cade Mooney. His first carry
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: of the night, dragged down after steaming forward for a
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: first down for the Cougars. Brought down at the 24.
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: That's a seven-yard run by the junior tailback, Cade Mooney.
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: Mooney does a good job. He has limited chances to
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: carry the ball, but when he has, he's been successful
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: gaining chances Positive yardage when Connor Rice needs a break.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: And you like that. Mooney does this thing where he
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: puts his head down, shoulder, and powers his way. He's
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: doing that to try to get ahead of that first
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: line of the Minutemen defense. Now on the pistol set.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Hand off to Connor Rice back in the game that time.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: He was brought down by the second line of defense
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: of the linebackers led by Stevan Groves. That's going to
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: be a loss of one. Second and 11 back at
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: the 25-yard line for Lincoln. The lineup along that right
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: side seam facing the north end zone, up by 20
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: points currently early in the second quarter.
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: Kind of like Conner was going to be able to
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: break that tackle, but unable to do so with a
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: one-yard loss. His fourth negative-yard carry loss in this first half.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: Second and 11. Hand off to Conner Rice. It breaks open.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: It's a 20. 15. Cuts it back inside the right
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: seam and brought down at the nine-yard line by the
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Minutemen's Zeke Brown. That's going to be a 16-yard run
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: by the senior tailback, Connor Rice. First and goal at
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: the nine for Lincoln.
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: Nice field vision there by Connor Rice, able to kind
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: of weave his way down the field to the nine-yard line.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: They have Trent Moore in the game as a fullback
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: lined up behind the tight end of Braden Miner. Behind
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: the quarterback sob is Rice. Going to stretch it out
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: on the play left side to Rice. Gets around the
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: corner at the five. Dives toward the end zone. And
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: he's in. Nine-yard touchdown run by senior Connor Rice. And
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Connor Rice trying to be only the second single-season thousand-yard
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: rusher under head coach Rob Hawkins on the season right now.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: For Rice, that will give him his seventh rushing touchdown
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: of the season.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: Yeah, nice run around the left side. Nice blocking by
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: Miner and... Trent Moore leading the way for Connor Isaacs
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: like Ava McGill attempting this extra point.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: 9.39 on a stop clock. Ava McGill's extra point attempt
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: as she hesitated on the extra point attempt. It goes
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: well below the crossbar. It'll remain a 33-7 lead for
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: Lincoln over Lewis County. We'll take another 30-second break. Come
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: back to Stidehart Field. This break brought to you by

- 1:11:40Speaker 1: Lincoln Cougar High School football is on the air at 93.5,
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: the FB1.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: Craig and Mudcat back with you in Shenston. All Lincoln
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: right now in this opening half.
- 1:11:55Speaker 13: 33-7 lead.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Nine-yard touchdown run by Connor Rice. His seventh on the
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: season rushing for the Cougars. Before that, Ben Behr saw
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: four passing touchdowns. He had seven coming in. He's now
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: at 11 on the season passing.
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: Yeah, Saab had a break in making his imprint on
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: this game. Now getting a running game going with Connor Rice,
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: establishing it. It's as Lewis County has no answer so
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: far for Lincoln.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Cade Mooney has it teed up at the 40 to
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: our right from the press box here. It's a short one.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Drops inside the 40-yard line and diving on it quickly
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: at the 33-yard line was one of their up men.
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: I believe that was Jackson Butcher. It'll be first and
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: 10 for the Minutemen. At their own 33-yard line, that's
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: where they will start between the hashes. 9.37 to go.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Still plenty of time for this Lewis County team, but
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: the guys score now. They want to have a chance
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: versus Lincoln because those early turnovers really were costly on
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: special teams.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: Yeah, it hurt them early, but they only gave up
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: two scores off of all those turnovers and credit their
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: defense for being stingy at times. Now Lincoln's starting to
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: establish themselves and putting a big lead into this game.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: Screen out left side, completed to Kellen Wolverton, pushed out
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: of bounds by the Cougars defensively. And on the stop
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: was Brody Anderson, as Wolverton, the tight end, has enough
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: for a first down. And he set up, backed off
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: the line, pulled it in on the screen, got 10 yards,
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: all the way up to the 43 of the Minutemen.
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: Yeah, nice play to get a nice gain on first down,
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: to pick up another first down of 10 yards there
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: for Wolverton. from Brown to Wolverton.
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: On the left side, Hash and shotgun for the sophomore quarterback,
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Zeke Brown. Tailback to his left side. Throws quickly again,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: out to his left side to Wolverton. Wrapped up and
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: brought down after a minimal gain on the play, nearing
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: the Minutemen sideline. Mooney and Anderson on the stop for Lincoln.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: About three yards gained, second and seven at Lewis County's 46.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: They're looking to get Wolverton going here in this drive.
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: Two catches in a row for the tight end. The
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: senior tight end.
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: 840 on a running clock in the second quarter. 33-7
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: lead for Lincoln over Lewis County. Hand off to Ian Brown,
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: trying to follow his blockers forward near midfield. Another short game.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: Brings up third and short for Lewis County.
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: So he gained three yards there. Nice job defensively for
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: Lincoln getting the stop before he got to midfield. Third,
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: probably two down territory here for Lewis County if I
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: was the coaching staff.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: Colton Edwards and Trent Moore on the stomp. Third and
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: four coming up for Lewis County. So now third and
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: four from just Beyond the midfield line, handoff at the
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: line of scrimmage on a counter. Colton Edwards and Connor
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Rice on the stop for no gain. Flags coming at
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: the end of the play. Maybe an errant hand on
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: the face mask of the runner. It is going to
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: be a personal foul against Lincoln. Face mask. Their first
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: penalty of the night, though, for Lincoln. Lincoln.
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll march the ball way into Lincoln territory, about
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: the 36-yard line, maybe 35.
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: Still give credit to Edwards and Rice on the stop.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Don't know who committed the infraction. Otherwise, it's still a
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: penalty at the worst possible moment because a hand was
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: clearly draped over the helmet where the official stood. He
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: had a good view of the carrier for the Minutemen.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: It's now going to be first and ten for Lewis
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: County at the Lincoln 36-yard line. Ball just inside the
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: right seam. 7.30 to go before halftime. 33-7 lead for Lincoln.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: Zeke Brown takes a snap from shotgun.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: Looks.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Rolls out to his left with pressure coming. Braden Meyer
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: coming in on the quarterback. He throws it ahead. That
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: should be maybe close to a grounding call. There may
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: have been a back there with Brown. You can see
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: Bumazay and Bearsaub, they're both calling for intentional grounding on
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: the Lincoln sideline. It's going to bring up second down
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: for Lewis County. Braden Meyer, what a pressure by the
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: defensive end.
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: Yeah, good job by Miner to get to pressure the quarterback.
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: It's also Griever and Moore were on the chase as well.
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: defensively for the Cougars, just able to give it away.
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: Zeke Brown able to incomplete the pass. They're saying the
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: pass was tipped. That's why there was no intentional grounding
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: right there.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: And that's enough to force the first timeout by head
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: coach Dustin Cougar of the Lewis County Minutemen. And we'll
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: take a break with them. Well, here in coverage of
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: Lincoln Cougar football, this timeout break brought to you by
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: Shenston Price Cutter. For fresh groceries, great prices, and friendly
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: hometown service, shop Shenston Price Cutter, where saving is always
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: in season.
- 1:17:19Speaker 8: My grocery store treats me like family, and the deli
- 1:17:22Speaker 8: makes comfort food like my mom's.
- 1:17:24Speaker 9: Oh, I love the genuine customer service. It's so hard
- 1:17:27Speaker 9: to find these days. For me, it's the fresh produce
- 1:17:30Speaker 9: and fresh cut meats. Plus, they carry all my favorite brands.
- 1:17:34Speaker 9: Whatever you love, there's a great experience in store.
- 1:17:37Speaker 10: Shinston Price Cutter, their friendly neighborhood grocery that's small enough
- 1:17:40Speaker 10: to be convenient, but big enough to save you money.
- 1:17:43Speaker 10: Shinston Price Cutter is proud to be a supporter of
- 1:17:45Speaker 10: Lincoln Sports.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: We're headed back to the field for more Cougar football
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: on 93.5, the FBY.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: Back at Steidahar Field, 33-7 lead, 7-17 on a stopped
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: second quarter clock. Lincoln ahead by four scores. Craig and
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Mudcat with you on the call. Mike Wolfe hoping to
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: be with us tonight. He'll be back with us next
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: week when Lincoln's on the road at Robert C.
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: Byrd.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: And that should be a good matchup as well. Lincoln
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: playing true right now, taking advantage of turnovers after the timeout, though.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: Second and 10 from the 36-yard line of Lincoln for
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: Zeke Brown. Settles in the pocket, throws, and overthrows the
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: intended receiver, Ian Brown, who normally comes out of the
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: backfield and runs the ball. Throw too hard as... Zeke
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: Brown's been doing that tonight on a lot of his throws.
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: They've been going way too far on the out routes
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: intended for his receivers.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the fourth or fifth time he's done
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: that and overthrown his receiver out in the flat, either
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: being a running back or receiver for the tight end.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: Third down and 10 inside Lincoln territory to 36 again
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: for Zeke Brown. Back to his left side, Chad Jones.
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: Snap.
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: Throwing out left side is Brown. Sets up squares. Throws
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: a long one towards the end zone. Tipped around and
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: picked off by Lincoln's Jacob Bart. What a pick by
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: Jacob Bart. It's really funny. Between Edwards, Bart, and Brody Barnes,
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: they both had two interceptions coming in, so Jacob Bart
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: gets this slight advantage. Now his third pick of the
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: season for this Lincoln defense, and Lincoln will get it
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: back first and 10 at their own 20-yard line.
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: Bart kind of playing safety back here, the deep man,
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: and that's where the ball went to the furthest guy
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: on the field, and Jacob Bart able to get the
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: interception in the end zone, giving Lincoln the ball back
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: here with 7.03 to go in his first half.
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: The throw and the triple coverage as Bart was playing
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: behind the receiver intended for the end zone for the Minutemen. 7.03
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: left before halftime. 33-7 lead for Lincoln over Lewis County.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: Here from Joe Steidhardt Field as the play call comes
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: in for junior quarterback Bear Saab. Saab with four passing
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: touchdowns on the night. Behind him is Connor Rice. Will
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: hand it off up the middle. He's got a crease
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: at the 30-yard line. Still on his feet at the 40.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: One more guy to beat. Tripped up at the 50.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: 40 at the other end of the field. 30, 20,
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: and 10. Five touchdowns. Connor Rice has outstanding momentum when
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: he stays on his feet. And he broke away from
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: the two guys playing deep. For Lewis County, and it's
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: an 80-yard touchdown run by senior Connor Rice. Longest run
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: of the season for the senior Mudcap.
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: 80 yards, he kind of like shoots it up the middle,
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: and then he gets shot out of a cannon by
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: the secondary, and it was gone. Outrunning the Lewis County
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: linebacker and defensive back there for the touchdown.
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: Lucas Zostheim, the extra point kicker for the Cougars. Holder
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: Brody Barnes. Kick is up. And through the uprights, it'll
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: be a 40-7 lead for Lincoln over Lewis County. 648
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: on a stop clock in the second quarter. We'll take
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: this 30-second break. Brought to you by Greyer Bridgeport CVB.

- 1:22:04Speaker 2: Back in Shinston, Craig and Mudcat with you on the call. 6.48
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: left in the second quarter. 40-7 lead. Biggest run of
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: the season for senior tailback Connor Rice. 80 yards out
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: after the pick by Jacob Bart. Extra point by Lucas
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: Zostheim to make it that five-score lead, Mudcat.
- 1:22:21Speaker 8: Yeah, big.
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: Big run there. The big play has really helped Lincoln
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: here in this first half to widen this margin of.
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: The lead. Kick, pooch by Cade Mooney. It's recovered by
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: Lincoln at the 29-yard line. Lincoln has possession as all
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: the up men came up. Colton Edwards pulled it back
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: at the 29-yard line. Chance to think Cade Mooney doesn't
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: really do anything crazy out there, but he looks so
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: good kicking the ball the way he does. It's very dangerous,
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: and he got to play up on the field. It's
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: going to be first and ten for Lincoln at the
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: Lewis County 29.
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: Third recovery for Lincoln here in this first half, giving
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: him extra possession after extra possession.
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: Hand off to Connor Rice. Hesitates, and enough of that
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: Cade Mooney out there, tailback. Nice little carry. Good hesitation
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: as he's brought down by Landry Koger, sophomore for the
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: Minutemen defense. Brings it down to the 23. Six-yard run
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: by the junior tailback, Mooney.
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: Nice run on first down for Cade Mooney as Connor
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: Rice getting a much-needed breather after that 80-yard run for
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: the touchdown of the previous possession. And Lincoln gets the
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: ball right back on the onside recovery. Well, it wasn't
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: really an onside kick.
- 1:23:43Speaker 13: No.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: It was pooched ahead 30 yards. Hand off. Next play
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: by Cade Mooney. Spins out of a tackle and brought
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: down at the 18-yard line. That's a five-yard run on
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: the stretch play. Left side. Outside left tackle. That's a
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: first down for Lincoln. Ball at the 18 inside the
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: red zone. Lincoln trying to score again. Up 40-7. Quickly again.
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: A handoff spin at the 10-yard line. They went quickly
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: to the line and snapped it. And Caden Mooney brought
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: down at the 11. Flags thrown. By one of the
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: back judges or one of the line judges on the
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: far end.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: Looks like a legal substitution here is the preliminary call.
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: Might be against Lewis County as they went quickly to
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: the line. No substitutions for Lincoln as they work quickly.
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: Illegal substitution against Lewis County. May decline that. Let's see
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: if they... end up declining. It's going to be a
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: nice little carry by the tailback, Mooney. They may not
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: be allowed to either. They may have to take the
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: penalty and negate the run by Mooney.
- 1:25:04Speaker 3: Declining it.
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: They are going to decline it. So they'll keep the
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: carry by the junior tailback, Cade Mooney. Down to the 12.
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: That was a gain of six. So a difference of
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: a yard off the penalty. Second and four coming up
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: for the Cougars. Saab in a pistol set. Fullback left
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: side Trent Moore and blocking tight end Braden Miner. Hands
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: it off to Mooney. Follows his blockers at the five
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: and brought down at the four. From the 12-yard line
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: down to the four. And that is an 8-yard carry
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: by Cade Mooney, first and goal.
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: Yeah, Mooney getting chunks here on this drive. They're really
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: using him the whole time here. Might see a lot
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: of Cade Mooney in the second half.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: And off to Cade Mooney, stretching out left side, maybe
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage. A good jump by
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: the Minutemen defense of Will Hovis and Stevan Groves. If
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: there was a game, it was very minimal. About a yard.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: Second and goal from the three for the Cougars. Just
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: under five minutes before halftime. Up 40 to seven.
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: I think they're going to punch it in to go
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: up 40 with the extra point if they're able to
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: score right here.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: So rolling out right side. Mooney nearing the goal line.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: Maybe down to the one. That's going to be a
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: two-yard run by Mooney.
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: Looked like he was hemmed in right there. Uh, uh,
- 1:26:42Speaker 3: It was going to be for about a two-yard loss.
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: Able to spin out of it. Keep his feet and
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: able to gain two yards down to the one. Probably
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: two down territory for the Cougars here at third and goal.
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: Pistol set again for Saab. Snap. Hand off to Mooney.
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: Dives over the goal line and he's in. Touchdown Lincoln.
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: First touchdown rushing of the night by Cade Mooney. Third
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: of the season. Get his other two versus Elkins in
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: week one. 46-7 is the score. And they're going to
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: bring out Ava McGill to kick the extra point for Lincoln.
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: See if we can get a clean snap here. We've
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: had a little problem doing that this year. The snap
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: to the holder on the extra points has been an
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: adventure at times.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: Snap on the field. Kick is up. I think it
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: just went over the crossbar, and it did. Extra point
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: attempt is good. They sent out Bear Saab as the
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: holder that time on the extra point tip. There will
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: be a 47-7 lead for Lincoln over Lewis County. We'll
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: take a 30-second break. Brought to you by Brickside Bar

- 1:28:28Speaker 1: Lincoln Cougar Football. All season long.
- 1:28:31Speaker 20: On 93.5, the FBY.
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: Back in coverage. of Lincoln Cougar football, a 47-7 lead
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: for the Cougars over Lewis County after a one-yard touchdown
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: run by Cade Mooney and Lucas Zostheim. First time kicking
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: off for the Cougars this season, a German exchange student
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: for the Cougars. His kick is away. Nice looking kick
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: from left to right. Pulled in at the 22-yard line
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: and zipping up that left seam. On the return, still
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: trying to break tackles, is number 12, and that's going
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: to be Chad Jones for the Minutemen. Trying to see
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: the guys who made the stop for the Cougars. A
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: player down. That's Connor Rice who made the stop for
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: the kick team for Lincoln. 4.07 left before halftime. 40-point lead.
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: Four Lincoln over Lewis County, so they did bottle up
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: that emotion from that North Marion loss and brought it
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: out here this evening at Stidehart Field, Mudcat.
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: Kind of letting out all their frustrations from that heartbreaking
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: loss onto the Lewis County Minutemen here in this first half.
- 1:29:41Speaker 3: Aided from mistakes by Lewis County as well, though.
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: I'm going to send Zeke Brown under center, hands off,
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: following his blockers across the 40-yard line. And on the stop,
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: Trent Moore and Bryson Moore. That was Ian Brown on
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: the carry for three yards. Second and seven from the
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: Minutemen 41 on the left side seam facing the south
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: end zone toward the band booster concession stand. Clock running
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: three and a half to go in the second quarter
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: on this 47-7 lead by Lincoln over Lewis County.
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: I can try to get one more stop here before
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: the half.
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: Might even have a running clock to start the second half.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Zeke Brown in the pocket. Pressure
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: comes down the middle. Throws it deep. Intended for the
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: receiver at the 30-yard line is both the receiver of
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: Aiden Oldecker. And maybe Brody Anderson were fighting for it
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: down at the 30. That was Anderson on the coverage
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: of Oldecker. Good coverage by Anderson. First year as a letterman.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: I'll say it early. I got to interview him this week.
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: That will actually be our interview for Buchanan Upshur. And
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: I'm trying to stay ahead with the baby coming. But
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: what an outstanding young man. And he's proven himself well
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: coming from the wrestling mat to the football field.
- 1:31:06Speaker 3: Yeah, he's had a nice year so far for Lincoln
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: playing that corner position for the Cougars.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: Third and seven coming up. Man in motion from right
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: to left. Brown's got pressure from Bryson Moore. Throws it
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: deep down the field. Oh, the receivers were looking and
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: the defenders as Barnes and Anderson missed it. But so
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: did Aldeker and Wolverton down at the Lincoln 35-yard line
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: as pressure was coming by senior nose guard. Bryson Moore
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: brings up fourth and seven for the Lewis County offense.
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: He'll punt it away for a third time tonight.
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: As we'll say, credit Moore there for the pressure and
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: the Kind of disrupting the timing of that pass play
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: there for Lewis County.
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: I believe that's Cade Mooney back at the 30. Pun
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: is away by Aidan Oker. Skyrocketing kick ahead and pulled
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: in by the Cougars at the 32-yard line. That was
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: Cade Mooney on the fair catch. He'll be first and
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: 10 for Lincoln right from there. Trade out like business
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: as usual, and that's kind of the mentality you want
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: from this Lincoln team from week to week.
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: Yeah, looks like some new faces here on offense possibly
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: for Lincoln. Looks like number 20 in the backfield for
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: Lincoln here.
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: Isaiah Ice, a tailback for the Cougars. As Bear Saab
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: comes back out as a signal caller. 3.04 left before halftime.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: 47-7 lead for the Cougars over the Minutemen. Saab has
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: Isaiah Ice to his left side. For Ice Jr., we'll
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: be looking to him to run the ball substantially next
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: season as well. Hand off to Ice. Follows his blockers forward.
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: Wrapped up and brought down by Kellen Wolverton at the
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and actually will be stopped for a
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: loss by Wolverton. Second 11 coming up for Lincoln under
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: three minutes to go before halftime.
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: Trying to get Ice some time here on a varsity
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: level here before the half. As Lincoln's up 40 here, Craig,
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: right before halftime, 47-7.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: That'll probably be your one-two punch next year out of
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: the backfield. Cade Mooney and Isaiah Ice, as they like
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: where they have Trent Moore as a fullback. You may
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: even see him as a receiver next year for Bear Saab.
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: So now second and 11. Snap to Saab. Hand off
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: to Ice. Up the gut following and dragging his defenders
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: along with him. Nice carry by the junior. All the
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: way up to the 38-yard line for Lincoln. About an
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: eight-yard carry, I believe. Eight-yard carry for the Cougars. Third
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: and four coming up.
- 1:33:53Speaker 8: Third and four for Lincoln.
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: Two minutes left for Lincoln on offense, up 47-7.
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: Lincoln milking a play clock here, trying to get this
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: half over with.
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: Saab looks behind him. Ice is set. Hand off to Ice,
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: following his blockers up the middle. Flag comes in behind
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: the play. May have got a hold to the left
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: side of the Lincoln offense. Nothing doing for Ice carrying
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: that time. It is going to be a hold call
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: against Lincoln, but Lewis County may opt. I don't know.
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: They're going to take the penalty. They want to play
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: field position, Dustin Coger and his staff. Now they do decline,
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: and they change their mind. At the 11th hour, they
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: change their mind, and they decline it, and it'll be
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: no gain for Isaiah Ice. Fourth and four.
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: Lincoln is going forward here. Fourth down. They got No,
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: maybe they are going to punt it.
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: Yeah, Colton Edwards will stand back at the 25. Give
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: him an opportunity to get a punt away. Good-looking punt
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: that time. It skyrockets downfield across the 40 and up
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: to 30. And there's Jacob Bart to down it at
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: the 29. They'll say actually at the 30 when it's
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: all said and done. First and 10, Lewis County. You
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: have two timeouts left with Lincoln up by 40 before halftime.
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: What a start. You had the early turnovers. Had two
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: special teams turnovers and then the fumble out of the
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: backfield on their first possession. That led to Lincoln's first score.
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: And they have not been able to recover since that much.
- 1:35:35Speaker 3: Yeah, you give Lincoln four extra possessions and a Lewis
- 1:35:39Speaker 3: County team that's been struggling so far this season, having
- 1:35:42Speaker 3: a hard time overcoming that. They've had the one nice
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: pass play for 70 yards, really the lone bright spot
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: here in the first half for Lewis County.
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: First and ten from the 30-yard line for Zeke Brown.
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: Ends in motion. Oldecker from right to left. Blocking the
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: head for the tailback. Blake Watson. Nice carry by the
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: senior Watson. All the way up to the 44-yard line.
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: 14-yard carry by Watson. Motion again, Oldicker behind the quarterback.
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: Hands it off to Watson. Dropped at the line of scrimmage,
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: maybe for about two yards, makes it second and eight.
- 1:36:38Speaker 4: Stop.
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: Got a couple new faces out there as well. I
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: see Connor Rice and Tyson Foreman for Lincoln. Getting a
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: lot of JV action now from some of these defenders
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: for Lincoln to get some opportunities for them. Second and
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: eight for the Minutemen offense. 30 seconds to go here
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: in the first half. It's going to be end around
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: on the man in motion, Ian Brown following his blockers.
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: He puts a hand behind his blockers ahead and pushed
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: out of bounds by the Cougars defensively. That's a first
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: down for Lewis County. Pushed out by Connor Rice. At
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: the Lincoln 44, it's a gain of 10 by Ian Brown.
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: Yeah, nice run around the left end for Ian Brown,
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: picking up 10 yards here. We're almost halftime here.
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: 25 seconds left before halftime. Zeke Brown will go under center.
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: Two ends in motion. Ian Brown goes around the left corner,
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: follows his lead blockers, wrapped up and brought out of
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: bounds on the play. by Tanner Blankenship. Eight-yard carry by
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: Ian Brown. Timeout taken by Dustin Kogers. Lewis County Minutemen,
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: 15 seconds left. We'll take the break with them as well.

- 1:38:49Speaker 1: on 93.5, the FBY.
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: Craig and Mudcat back with you here. Just a few
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: ticks before the end of the first half. 47-7 lead
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: for Lincoln over Lewis County. After the second timeout taken
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: this half by the Minutemen, it's just been complete domination.
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: New faces out there on this Lincoln defense on this drive, Mudcat.
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: Yeah, Lincoln trying to come up with a stop here
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: with 15 seconds to go in the first half.
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: Brown looks to throw pressure from left side, throws and
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: completes it to Ian Brown, nearing the 20-yard line. He'll
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: say it's to the 22, and that's going to be
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: a 22-yard reception from Zeke Brown to Ian Brown just
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: outside of the red zone. He goes out of bounds.
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: Nine seconds left before the end of the half here, Mudcat.
- 1:39:36Speaker 3: Trying to get a score in here. They went to
- 1:39:38Speaker 3: Ian Brown for the two big pass plays here this
- 1:39:41Speaker 3: first half. Lincoln yielding some yards here on his final possession.
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: I think if you're Lincoln, you're okay with that. You
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: want to challenge some of these younger athletes to get
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: some reps and varsity play and see what Lewis County
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: can do. You don't want to be that. a team
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: that continues to lay the lumber against an opponent, but
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: they have been doing that all this first half. Brown
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: in the pocket, flushed out to his right side, now
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: steps back, goes to his left, squares up, throws on
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: a pass back for the intended receiver. Ian Brown, as
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: Anderson comes back strong on the play, incomplete. No call
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: out of the backfield, though, as there was a lot
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: of touching between Ian Brown and Brody Anderson on that play.
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like it could have been a hold
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: right there, but no calling on the incompletion. Last play
- 1:40:36Speaker 3: here in the first half, they're going to try to
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: kick a field goal here.
- 1:40:39Speaker 5: They are.
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: Chad Jones out as the holder. Aiden Oldecker to kick
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: this one from the 29. 39-yard attempt by Aiden Oldecker.
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: He's calling for the snap quickly. Timeout taken by Lewis County.
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: We're just going to leave it here with 1.7 seconds left.
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: Lincoln up 47-7, last play of the opening half, Mudcap.
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: And we'll see if they stick with it. You know,
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: Oldaker was yelling for them to snap it quickly, but
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: he was not ready, clearly not ready out there to
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: kick that 39-yarder.
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if the play clock was running down.
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: They're just second-guessing themselves. Are they going to try to
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: kick it? Would cut it to a– would cut into
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: the lead to 37. We'll get it under 40, but
- 1:41:24Speaker 3: really needing a– Minor miracle so far for Lewis County
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: to get back in this game here this evening, Craig.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: At that point, that's what you would expect here, but
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: every little bit will help Lewis County. They're 0-4 heading
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: into this matchup. Their only blowout of the season was
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: versus Elkins, 50-0. Lincoln's done a really good job to
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: nearly match that in the first half alone. Aidan Oldecker
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: back out to attempt a 39-yarder from the left seam
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: for Lewis County. Senior place kicker. And receiver and defensive
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: back for the Minutemen. Holder, Chad Jones. Heavy on the
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: right side defensively for Lincoln. Pressure comes in. It's blocked
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: and picked up by Lincoln at the 30-yard line. Returning
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: it all the way back is Brody Anderson for Lincoln
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: for a touchdown. Blocked by Trent Moore and Brody Anderson
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: in consecutive weeks. He will get a kickoff return at
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: North Marion for a score. And Brody Anderson will get
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: a 70-yard touchdown Field goal block return for Lincoln to
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: end the first half.
- 1:42:35Speaker 3: That's also back-to-back. It's a field goal block for a
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: return for touchdown as Colton Edwards had to return for
- 1:42:43Speaker 3: one last week against North Merion. This week it was
- 1:42:45Speaker 3: Brody Anderson. Great block and then picked it right up
- 1:42:49Speaker 3: and was gone. Brody Anderson showing off some athletic ability
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: right there for the touchdown.
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: Holder's going to be Bear Saab, Lucas Zostein. Out there
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: attempt the extra point for Lincoln with no ticks left
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: on the clock. 53-7 is the score. Saustime lineup just
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: a couple yards behind to hold or sob. The kick
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: is up. And through the uprights, it'll be a 54-7
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: lead for Lincoln over Lewis County after the 70-yard blocked
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: field goal return loss. by brody anderson blocked by trent
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: moore who busted through the line maybe not so much
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: of a busting through the line as much as it
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: was going to be a low angle and lincoln had
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: three guys in there i gave credit to moore because
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: he was right there and they for a brief moment
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: they didn't realize that hey we need to pick that
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: up and take it.
- 1:43:40Speaker 21: For a score like colton edwards did last week yeah
- 1:43:43Speaker 21: it was it was more of a line drive kick
- 1:43:46Speaker 21: by old acre and then kind of into the line
- 1:43:48Speaker 21: right there with the block and uh Anderson.
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: Ready to pick it up and take it to the
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: distance for the house, which I think that score right
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: there will constitute a running clock for the whole second half, Craig.
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: We'll have to see how that sets up at the
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: start of play in the second half. It's a 54-7 lead.
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: Lincoln and Lewis County trying to get their first conference
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: win of the season. Both teams coming in 0-3 in
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: Big Ten play. Lincoln right now is in full control,
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: up 54-7. We'll take a break here. In coverage of
- 1:44:18Speaker 2: Lincoln Cougar football, I had an opportunity to sit down
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: with senior wideouts and defensive backs Brody Barnes and Chase
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: and Cypher. Had a great little interview with those two.
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: Maybe we'll even see Cypher in the pass game in
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: the second half. Had a great had a great performance
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: versus Elkins in week one. So maybe we'll see more
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: of that at the start of the second half of play.
- 1:44:38Speaker 2: That interview will come back after this. And we'll get
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: settled in for stats, for scores from wvmetronews.com, and get
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: you ready for second half action as it's 54-7, Lincoln
- 1:44:50Speaker 2: over Lewis County at the halftime break in coverage of
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: Lincoln Cougar football on 93.5, the FBY.
- 1:44:57Speaker 12: Got old gold or silver you're not wearing? Turn it
- 1:44:59Speaker 12: into cash. Broken chains, single earrings, outdated rings, even jewelry

- 1:47:37Speaker 1: Lincoln Cougar High School football is on the air at 93.5
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: The FBY.
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: Welcome back to coverage of Lincoln Cougar football on 93.5
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: The FBY. Craig Dunton, glad to be joined by senior
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: wideouts and defensive backs Brody Barnes and Jason Seifer for
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: the Lincoln Cougars as part of our 7th and 8th
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: athlete profiles this season. Glad to have you with us
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: this evening, guys.
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:48:02Speaker 14: It's good to be here.
- 1:48:03Speaker 22: Thank you.
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: So asking about where we're at in terms of the season,
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: there's so many seniors on this squad for Lincoln, and
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: there's a legacy that you would like to leave. There's
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: a lot of underclassmen looking up. They're getting time on
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: JV play, and they're seeing you guys as just a
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: senior late and receiving core for this Lincoln program. What
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: kind of legacy do you want to leave for those
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: younger athletes and underclassmen that are playing underneath of you?
- 1:48:26Speaker 23: You know, it feels good to be a leader because
- 1:48:28Speaker 23: I remember freshman year looking up to those other guys thinking,
- 1:48:31Speaker 23: you know, they've done such a good job leading and
- 1:48:34Speaker 23: showing us what, you know, we were supposed to do
- 1:48:36Speaker 23: and how to do the right things and how to
- 1:48:37Speaker 23: do your job and mow your own grass. So I
- 1:48:39Speaker 23: really think that we've done the same thing as they've
- 1:48:42Speaker 23: done and set a good example for them, and I
- 1:48:44Speaker 23: just hope that what we've done and the things that
- 1:48:46Speaker 23: we've shown the younger underclassmen will carry on for as
- 1:48:50Speaker 23: long as this program goes on.
- 1:48:52Speaker 22: Yeah, just like Brady said, it's great to be a leader.
- 1:48:55Speaker 22: Our freshman year, we were doing the same thing they're doing.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: So in terms of how you guys play on the
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: field as a receiver, there's been a couple big plays
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: you've been involved with over the program the last few years.
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: In terms of your receiving style or how you play defensively,
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: do you model after any certain athlete professionally or collegiately?
- 1:49:09Speaker 22: I always try to model around my favorite receivers in
- 1:49:13Speaker 22: the NFL. Some guys like Cee Lamb, Cole Beasley, all
- 1:49:16Speaker 22: those guys. Some of my players are my favorite teams.
- 1:49:19Speaker 22: I kind of try and keep my play style like that.
- 1:49:21Speaker 23: I don't necessarily model my game after people. I just
- 1:49:24Speaker 23: try to go out there. It's good to be yourself
- 1:49:27Speaker 23: because if you try to be like somebody else, it's
- 1:49:30Speaker 23: just to be yourself, there's so many more things you
- 1:49:33Speaker 23: can do and so many more you know, opportunities. So
- 1:49:35Speaker 23: I just, I go out there and just play my
- 1:49:37Speaker 23: own game and try to be myself and be energetic
- 1:49:39Speaker 23: and be a leader and bring my own, you know,
- 1:49:42Speaker 23: attitude to the game and how I play.
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: Who's your favorite professional athlete or a professional football team?
- 1:49:47Speaker 14: Probably the Steelers.
- 1:49:49Speaker 23: It's just the team that's around here and I've grown
- 1:49:51Speaker 23: up watching them, you know, my whole life.
- 1:49:53Speaker 14: So probably, yeah, the Steelers.
- 1:49:54Speaker 22: Mine's the Dallas Cowboys. I've always liked them. My dad
- 1:49:57Speaker 22: made me watch them since a young age. So I've
- 1:49:59Speaker 22: just followed along with them and they're players.
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: Guys are on polar opposites when it comes to the
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: answers there.
- 1:50:03Speaker 3: I'll say that.
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: Those are good answers, though. In terms of other sports
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: you guys are involved with here at Lincoln, Brody, you're
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: involved on the hard court for basketball, and also for chasing,
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: you're involved with the baseball program. Both of them had
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: some relative success here in the last few years. Brody,
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: you've really come out and played in the guard position,
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: and then chasing on the baseball diamond, you guys all
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: together made the state tournament. What are further goals for
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: both those programs this year?
- 1:50:29Speaker 14: I've spent a lot of time in the offseason with
- 1:50:31Speaker 14: Jared West. He played WVU.
- 1:50:33Speaker 23: I've been working with him on all in the offseason
- 1:50:35Speaker 23: and multiple college guys and working out with college coaches and.
- 1:50:39Speaker 14: Everything, and I've really worked hard.
- 1:50:41Speaker 23: You could say I am the basketball guy, but all
- 1:50:44Speaker 23: of it translates to the football field as well. So
- 1:50:46Speaker 23: I've worked really hard this offseason for basketball, and I
- 1:50:49Speaker 23: look forward to coming with the team and working and
- 1:50:52Speaker 23: getting back in the gym and getting ready to have
- 1:50:54Speaker 23: another good year because we have very high expectations and
- 1:50:58Speaker 23: looking forward for the year to come.
- 1:51:01Speaker 22: Obviously for the baseball team, we want to make it
- 1:51:02Speaker 22: to the state tournament again. go a little farther than
- 1:51:04Speaker 22: last time, hopefully for senior year. Everybody's got more experience.
- 1:51:07Speaker 22: We didn't lose too many seniors, so I think we
- 1:51:09Speaker 22: got a lot of chemistry to make it far.
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: Craig Dunn was senior wide outs and defensive backs. Brody
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: Barnes and Chase and Cypher, you got a lot of
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: coaches on the staff. There's some that really make an
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: impact in how you play your offensive and defensive side
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: of the ball. Who really has laid an impact on
- 1:51:23Speaker 2: you here at Lincoln throughout your career?
- 1:51:26Speaker 22: Obviously, Coach Carpenter, Coach Hawkins, all those guys, Carpenter, offensive coordinator,
- 1:51:30Speaker 22: helped me with my routes and just working on catching
- 1:51:33Speaker 22: skills and Anything a receiver needs?
- 1:51:36Speaker 23: One coach is Bob Mazzei. He's been there for me
- 1:51:40Speaker 23: all the way up through middle school and all the
- 1:51:41Speaker 23: way through high school.
- 1:51:42Speaker 14: He's like a dad to me.
- 1:51:43Speaker 23: I have conversations with him outside of the football field
- 1:51:47Speaker 23: through text, and he really has been there for me
- 1:51:50Speaker 23: when times are tough and I need somebody to talk
- 1:51:52Speaker 23: to or just another person to be there for me
- 1:51:54Speaker 23: and have my back because he always told me he's
- 1:51:57Speaker 23: got my back. So he's really made an impact on me,
- 1:52:00Speaker 23: and I'm going to miss him a lot once the
- 1:52:01Speaker 23: season ends.
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: And we'll go on into your family and friends, people
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: that really motivate you, you know, to focus on your schoolwork,
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: focusing on your athletics. There's a lot of people you
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: can name this opportunity to take the time and effort
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: to do so, because they really are an impact to
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: you in the home and out of the home.
- 1:52:17Speaker 23: Yeah, obviously my, my parents, my mom and dad, they really,
- 1:52:20Speaker 23: you know, they've been there for me for everything. They always,
- 1:52:23Speaker 23: you know, have my back and are full go with
- 1:52:26Speaker 23: me and my, uh, what I want to do.
- 1:52:28Speaker 14: And they always support me. But one person is, like
- 1:52:30Speaker 14: I said, Jared West.
- 1:52:30Speaker 23: Um, I've been with him for about three years, working
- 1:52:33Speaker 23: out with him, and he's really had an impact on
- 1:52:35Speaker 23: me physically in the gym and mentally. He's taught me
- 1:52:38Speaker 23: how to become a better person and be a leader and,
- 1:52:41Speaker 23: you know, to speak your voice because going through high school,
- 1:52:44Speaker 23: there's a lot of opportunities you have. And if you,
- 1:52:46Speaker 23: you know, sit back and watch and. You know, don't
- 1:52:49Speaker 23: step up and say certain things and be yourself and.
- 1:52:52Speaker 14: Be a leader.
- 1:52:53Speaker 23: You can really fall back, especially in sports. So he's
- 1:52:55Speaker 23: really made a huge impact on my life. And I
- 1:52:58Speaker 23: hope that, you know, he can when I get older,
- 1:53:01Speaker 23: he can do the same with my kids as well.
- 1:53:03Speaker 22: Obviously, my parents, they are supportive of me no matter what.
- 1:53:06Speaker 22: And they help me with everything. Grades, schoolwork, anything. My dad,
- 1:53:10Speaker 22: I do workouts with him. He's very helpful with me.
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: Ask us a few times, and there really isn't any
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: specific answer, but it's always something that gets you guys
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: ready before the game. The locker room's always pumping with
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: high-intensity music playing before the game. Is there any certain
- 1:53:24Speaker 2: song or any genre of music that gets you ready
- 1:53:27Speaker 2: for a game?
- 1:53:28Speaker 14: I guess the rap stuff.
- 1:53:29Speaker 22: It's a pretty basic answer, but it gets everybody ready
- 1:53:33Speaker 22: for the game and gets everybody energetic.
- 1:53:35Speaker 23: It kind of just depends on the day because I'm
- 1:53:37Speaker 23: kind of back and forth with some rock and rap,
- 1:53:41Speaker 23: but it just depends on the day, but mostly probably rap.
- 1:53:44Speaker 14: I listen to that a lot before games.
- 1:53:45Speaker 23: It gets me in the mood to play and gets
- 1:53:48Speaker 23: me energetic and ready to go.
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: Is there any funny story that you would be willing
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: to share? Radio safe, of course, media safe that happened
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: to you in your last four years as a Lincoln
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: student or athlete.
- 1:53:59Speaker 14: We were, it was my sophomore year. We were at Liberty.
- 1:54:03Speaker 23: Um, and I think two games before we played Nicholas
- 1:54:05Speaker 23: and I recovered a onside kick and we went to
- 1:54:08Speaker 23: Liberty and we were kicking another onside kick because we were,
- 1:54:11Speaker 23: we were down in the game.
- 1:54:12Speaker 14: We're down two touchdowns, something like that.
- 1:54:14Speaker 23: And, uh, we were, they kicked, they kicked off, and
- 1:54:18Speaker 23: I recovered the onside kick, and when I caught it, I, like,
- 1:54:22Speaker 23: it literally hit me right in the chest, like, it
- 1:54:24Speaker 23: wasn't like I picked it up and fell, and I
- 1:54:25Speaker 23: caught it, and I started to run with it, and
- 1:54:27Speaker 23: I didn't realize you could forward an onside kick, and
- 1:54:29Speaker 23: I got killed, like, blindsided, ear hole, it was, it
- 1:54:32Speaker 23: was bad, it, it knocked the wind out of me,
- 1:54:34Speaker 23: it was awful, I came up the sideline, and, and
- 1:54:36Speaker 23: Bub looks at me, and he's like, what are you
- 1:54:38Speaker 23: doing i was like i thought i you know i
- 1:54:40Speaker 23: was trying to run he was like you cannot forward
- 1:54:41Speaker 23: an onside kick so it was like i got hit
- 1:54:43Speaker 23: for nothing it was it was yeah i got hit
- 1:54:45Speaker 23: pretty hard and it was it was something that i
- 1:54:48Speaker 23: i remember for the rest of my time being on
- 1:54:50Speaker 23: kickoff return because you know it's that's stuff like that
- 1:54:53Speaker 23: can happen you get you get hurt something.
- 1:54:55Speaker 14: Stupid um get a return onside kick.
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: Jacob bart has actually won this award by other interviews
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: this year but who is one of the funniest athletes
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: or coaches or staffers on this team.
- 1:55:06Speaker 22: I think Coach Carpenter's pretty funny, but player-wise, I'd say,
- 1:55:11Speaker 22: I can say it's Cade Mooney, you can say it's Jacob,
- 1:55:15Speaker 22: all those guys are a very, very funny team.
- 1:55:17Speaker 23: Probably, not necessarily in making jokes, but like Cade Mooney
- 1:55:21Speaker 23: and Trent Moore, they make a lot of, you could
- 1:55:23Speaker 23: say like corny jokes, and they have really high, I
- 1:55:26Speaker 23: love them to death, they have really high egos, and
- 1:55:28Speaker 23: the things they say, it's just pretty funny, and They've
- 1:55:31Speaker 23: come on the field and they're like, they're trying to
- 1:55:32Speaker 23: get us pumped up. But in some ways, I'm like
- 1:55:34Speaker 23: looking over at my teammates. I'm like, what are these
- 1:55:36Speaker 23: guys doing? These guys are, they're kind of making. So yeah,
- 1:55:39Speaker 23: probably Cade Mooney and Trent. They make some pretty high
- 1:55:42Speaker 23: ego statements. But it's funny at the end of the day.
- 1:55:45Speaker 23: And they're just trying to get us pumped up. But
- 1:55:46Speaker 23: as a coach, probably, I would say Coach Carpenter. He's
- 1:55:50Speaker 23: with us most of the practice. He does a lot
- 1:55:52Speaker 23: with us. And we always have some pretty funny moments.
- 1:55:54Speaker 23: And yeah, he's fun to be around.
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: In terms of your final year, any goals you have
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: your final senior year? Because, you know, you're looking to
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: get into the workforce, go to college, maybe go into service.
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: Any goals each of you have going into your final year?
- 1:56:07Speaker 22: I would obviously like to go to college somewhere. I
- 1:56:10Speaker 22: haven't fully decided what I want to major in or
- 1:56:12Speaker 22: what I want to pursue after that, but definitely something.
- 1:56:15Speaker 14: Obviously, I want to play the next level basketball. I
- 1:56:17Speaker 14: want to play in college. That's my goal.
- 1:56:19Speaker 23: It's been my goal since I was a little kid
- 1:56:21Speaker 23: thinking about playing and watching Duke growing up. Obviously, for
- 1:56:24Speaker 23: my build, I'm 5'9, come from a small town. That's
- 1:56:28Speaker 23: kind of out of the water to play at a
- 1:56:30Speaker 23: major D1 school, but just somewhere around here, Division II,
- 1:56:33Speaker 23: that would be.
- 1:56:33Speaker 14: You know, a dream come true for me.
- 1:56:35Speaker 23: And it's really, it really means a lot to me
- 1:56:37Speaker 23: because it's something that I've worked, worked at my entire life.
- 1:56:41Speaker 23: And especially just in, in life, like I've worked really
- 1:56:44Speaker 23: hard and just to be able to be successful with
- 1:56:47Speaker 23: things that I like and things that I want to
- 1:56:48Speaker 23: do would be, would really mean a lot to me.
- 1:56:50Speaker 23: And it gets me emotional thinking about it because I'm
- 1:56:53Speaker 23: a kid now. And then think about it, my childhood's
- 1:56:55Speaker 23: coming to an end. I'm going to have to start my,
- 1:56:57Speaker 23: my life. So it's, it's, it really means, it means
- 1:57:00Speaker 23: a lot. And Hopefully I can achieve the goals that
- 1:57:02Speaker 23: I've set for myself, and yeah.
- 1:57:04Speaker 2: Hope you guys have a wonderful senior year. Brody Barnes,

- 1:59:38Speaker 1: on 93.5 for the FBY.
- 1:59:47Speaker 2: Back at Steidahar Field in Shenston tonight. 54-7 lead at
- 1:59:51Speaker 2: the halftime break for 2-3 Lincoln over 0-4 Lewis County.
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: Craig Dutton and Josh Mudcat-Helmick with you on the call tonight.
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: And we have entered running clock mode as Mike Darway,
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: our clock operator, just handed me the sheet earlier. and
- 2:00:04Speaker 2: went over the rules. New for last year, 42 points
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: is the differential after the halftime break to start the
- 2:00:10Speaker 2: second half of action with a running clock. And with
- 2:00:12Speaker 2: Mike Wolfe not being with us, and I hope his
- 2:00:14Speaker 2: son Duke is doing well this evening, all our thoughts
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: are with Duke. Hopefully he gets to film better and
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: we'll have Mike back at RCB next week. Hopefully we
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: may have Mitch Osborne come in and pinch hit tonight
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: when it's all said and done and get the interview
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: with Coach Rob Hawkins after the game. So we'll Wait
- 2:00:32Speaker 2: and see how we get that set up as the
- 2:00:34Speaker 2: game finishes out. Right now, it is a 47-point lead
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: for Lincoln at the halftime break. We have our stats
- 2:00:41Speaker 2: ready to go. Josh and I took a good break there.
- 2:00:43Speaker 2: But before we do that, big thanks to Brody Barnes
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: and Jason Seifer for our athlete profile at the halftime break.
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Both of them did an outstanding job. Brody's very natural
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: on the microphone. I'll give him that much credit. And
- 2:00:55Speaker 2: he's very much chomping at the bit for basketball season.
- 2:00:58Speaker 2: Chasen Seifer is getting ready for baseball season as well.
- 2:01:02Speaker 2: Speaking of that, I have a preliminary schedule for Lincoln basketball.
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: But what's really funny this year, I haven't mentioned this
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: much this season on the FBY. And we have a
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: little bit of time. I have to dodge WVU Mountaineer
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: women's basketball games now on the FBY. So I'm going
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: to try to do the best I can. to not
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: line up Lincoln basketball on the nights when the Mountaineer women.
- 2:01:22Speaker 2: Thank you, Andrew Caridi. That's your lasting impression, former voice
- 2:01:26Speaker 2: of the Lincoln Cougars here on the FBY. I'm just joking, Andrew.
- 2:01:30Speaker 2: If you or your dad are listening, have fun with
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: that on Sportsline or wherever you want to do after that.
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: But either way, we will have coverage of Mountaineer women's
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: basketball and Mountaineer baseball on the FBY this winter and spring.
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: I wanted to plug that as well because if you
- 2:01:45Speaker 2: want to join in coverage of Lincoln and WVU athletic sports,
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: just give a call at WVRC Media. We'll get you on.
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: for this winter and spring. So basketball schedule's coming. I
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: just got to dodge a few Mountaineer women's games. And
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: what's even crazier, the Mountaineer women play Northwestern at the
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: Greenbrier on the first Friday of the playoff football season.
- 2:02:05Speaker 3: There we go.
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: So we'll have to figure things out. I may try
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: to get with Jack Murphy and Travis Jones if we
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: know it's a set situation for Lincoln to make the postseason.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: I may try to see if we can get simulcasted
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: on another station as well for that evening as well.
- 2:02:18Speaker 2: Let's get to our stats, Mudcat. Okay.
- 2:02:21Speaker 3: For Lewis County tonight, Zeke Brown has 415 passing for
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: 105 yards and one interception. Running the ball, Ian Brown
- 2:02:29Speaker 3: has nine carries for 35 yards. Blake Watson, two carries

- 2:02:47Speaker 3: for Lewis County, 105 passing, 50 yards rushing, 155 yards
- 2:02:52Speaker 3: of total offense for Lewis County in the first half.
- 2:02:55Speaker 3: For Lincoln, Barasob is five of eight passing for 121 yards,
- 2:02:59Speaker 3: four touchdowns, and one interception. Connor Ice has 14 carries

- 2:03:23Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns. And Brody Barnes, one catch for
- 2:03:26Speaker 3: 14 yards and one touchdown. Total offense for Lincoln, 121
- 2:03:30Speaker 3: yards passing, 172 yards rushing. A total of 293 yards
- 2:03:35Speaker 3: of total offense in the first half for Lincoln.
- 2:03:38Speaker 2: There's only been two games this season, this one included
- 2:03:41Speaker 2: where Lincoln has outdone their opponent in total yards from scrimmage,
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: and Nicholas County was the other game. Special teams has
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: really made up for that for Lincoln on the season.
- 2:03:52Speaker 2: Three big plays, two of them on the fumbles on
- 2:03:55Speaker 2: special teams to start this game, all recovered by Jacob
- 2:03:59Speaker 2: Bart and Brady Harrod for Lincoln on the kick team.
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: Also had a recovery by Brody Barnes on a mishandle
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: in the backfield on Lewis County's first possession on offense,
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: a pick. by Jacob Barton at half alone, too. It's
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: 4-1 advantage for Lincoln in the turnover column. Leading tacklers,
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: just a variety of ones. Connor Rice leads the way
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: with five stops. He's backed up by Colton Edwards with four,
- 2:04:25Speaker 2: Brody Anderson with four, Cade Mooney with four, Trent Moore
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: with three, and Colton Edwards has four as well. I
- 2:04:35Speaker 2: believe I failed to mention him there as well. QB
- 2:04:38Speaker 2: pressures on the night by Cade Mooney. Braden Miner in
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: two by Bryson Moore on the night as well, where
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: they stand with a 54-7 lead at the half. Running
- 2:04:49Speaker 2: clock to start for Lincoln, and they will get the
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: ball to start things off in the second half of action.
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: We do have a stump mudcat question for tonight, and
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: I just had to come up with it because it's
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: the type of game where we've got to have a
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: little bit of fun. It's a 47-point lead for Lincoln.
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: But let's go to scores real quick at wvmetronews.com. Scores
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: in Quad A in the Big Ten Conference. Fairmont Senior
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: up on Buchanan Upshur, 28-3 at the halftime break. Preston
- 2:05:19Speaker 2: up on Baldwin High School out of Pennsylvania, 21-0. Triple-A scores.
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: RCB up on East Fairmont at halftime, 42-0. Bridgeport only
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: up by a score in the third quarter over Fort Hill, Maryland, 28-21.
- 2:05:36Speaker 2: Elkins over Grafton currently in the third quarter, 36-14. Nicholas
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: County up 6-0 over Midland Trail to halftime break. Other
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: scores that stick out as well will go to Class
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: AA at wvmetronews.com. on the schedule this season, looking for
- 2:05:56Speaker 2: scores real quickly. Phillip Barber, down by two at halftime
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: to South Harrison, 16-14. Doddridge County and Petersburg, no score
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: from the Eastern Panhandle yet. They still say a first-quarter
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: score between the Bulldogs and the Vikings of Petersburg. That's
- 2:06:13Speaker 2: our game. 54-7 Lincoln over Lewis County. I went with
- 2:06:18Speaker 2: Lewis County and just rode with it. I'm trying to
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: see if there's any other scores left. I don't think so.
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: I got Phillip Barber in there, so that's all the
- 2:06:26Speaker 2: AA scores of importance as well. At wvmetronews.com, you can
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: catch all the scores and interviews with Fred and Dave
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: on Sister Station 103.3 WKMZ after the conclusion of Bridgeport
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: and Fort Hill, Maryland on WKMZ. And it's time for
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: Stump Mudcap. So, 54 points at the halftime break. The
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: record set by Lincoln was in 2023, our first season together,
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: when Lincoln was on the road at Grafton. They scored
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: 69 points. The year before they broke it, when Clay
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: Riley and I were first time together, 68 points scored
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: at Braxton County. What did Grafton and Braxton County score
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: in those games each? It's like, what are you doing, Craig?
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: That's that look on your face. Why'd you do that?
- 2:07:18Speaker 3: I want to say Braxton scored 14.
- 2:07:20Speaker 15: Okay.
- 2:07:23Speaker 3: And Grafton scored 21.
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: You should have swapped them.
- 2:07:29Speaker 3: Almost.
- 2:07:30Speaker 2: 20 points by Braxton in 2022 is a 68-20 win
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: for Lincoln to open the season. That would end up
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: being a 7-3 regular season for the Cougars. In 2023,
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: and they ended up 7-4 that season after a loss
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: to North Merion in postseason. In 2023, it was the
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: third game of the season, 69-14 over Grafton on the road.
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: And that would set up a 6-4 season, 6-5 overall
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: after losing to North Marion again in postseason action in 2023.
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: So that was Stump Mudcat tonight. I was glad to
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: get back to some normalcy there. So we are ready
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: for a start of second half action as they will
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: send back, that appears to be, they're going to go
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: with 8-minute quarters. They're going to shorten it even much more.
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: Instead of 12-minute quarters, it'll be 8-minutes To start the
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: third quarter, it'll be Aiden Oldecker to tee it up
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: at the 40. Colton Edwards, Connor Rice, and I believe
- 2:08:26Speaker 2: Cade Mooney standing inside the 15 for the Cougars to
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: return from the south end zone. Glad to have you
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: listening tonight in coverage of Lincoln Cougar football. On the FBY,
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: heading into this matchup, Rob Hawkins, 67-63 overall. 4-2 overall
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: versus Lewis County. Dustin Cougar, 50-68. Heading into this matchup tonight,
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: 2-4 overall versus the Cougars. All-time, Lincoln holds on to
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: a 17-15 record over the Minutemen. Kick is away by Oldecker.
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: Pulled in by Colton Edwards at the 15-yard line. Works
- 2:09:01Speaker 2: his way between the hashes. Breaks one tackler and brought
- 2:09:05Speaker 2: down at the 30-yard line. Be a 15-yard return by
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: the senior, Colton Edwards.
- 2:09:12Speaker 3: Looks like a new quarterback coming in. Looks like it's
- 2:09:14Speaker 3: going to be Jacob Barton.
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: Going to give Bart a series here. He had a
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: couple opportunities this season to throw. Started versus Elkins. Yeah,
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: Jacob Bart. 16 for 28, 185 yards, two touchdowns, and
- 2:09:35Speaker 2: two for five for 23 yards versus Grafton. Two times
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: he's been on the field at quarterback for Lincoln. Give
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: Saab a break on this possession. Two receivers outright for Bart.
- 2:09:52Speaker 2: In the backfield is Connor Rice, Al's shotgun. Hand off
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: to Rice. Turns it to the outside. Still on his feet. No,
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: it's Trent Moore at the 50-yard line. He steamrolled over
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: Lewis County defender. 30, 20, 10, and they'll say no.
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: Trent Moore went out at the 29-yard line. What a
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: run by Trent Moore. He just barreled over Minuteman defender.
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: All the way from the 30 down to the 34.
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: That's going to be a 36-yard run by the junior,
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: Trent Moore. Trent Moore set out his sophomore year after
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: joining the Lincoln program. After leaving Fairmont Senior at the
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: beginning of the 2025 season, what a run by Moore.
- 2:10:36Speaker 3: Nice run by a 36-yard run for Moore there on
- 2:10:40Speaker 3: first down. He was shot out of a can. That's
- 2:10:42Speaker 3: his first opportunity to carry the ball this season, Craig.
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: He looks impressive coming out of there. He just steamrolled
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: and followed his blocks. Bart in the pistol. Two yards
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: behind him is Trent Moore. Snap. Hand off to Moore,
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: trying to shed a tackler as the line broke apart
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: to his left. Going to be wrapped up and brought
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: down by Jackson Butcher for the Minutemen. Going to be
- 2:11:08Speaker 2: a loss of two to make it second and 12
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: at the 36 on the left side seam on the
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: north end zone here at Stuttgart Field.
- 2:11:15Speaker 3: At that time, Lewis County did a good job of
- 2:11:19Speaker 3: hemming in Moore as soon as he got the Kind
- 2:11:22Speaker 3: of like a delayed handoff type deal, and he was
- 2:11:25Speaker 3: met in the backfield.
- 2:11:27Speaker 2: With Bart at quarterback, Seifer wide receiver left side. Oh,
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: a broken play as the tailback went to the right.
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: Behind Jacob Bart, stiff arms, goes out of bounds at
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: the 30. Flags on the play. If it holds, it'll
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: be a substantial gain to get the yards lost on
- 2:11:43Speaker 2: the run by Trent Moore. Holds the call against Lincoln.
- 2:11:46Speaker 3: And they're negate the run by Bart. On the buzz
- 2:11:51Speaker 3: to play, it'll be a 10-yard penalty. It'll still be
- 2:11:53Speaker 3: second down for Lincoln.
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: From the line of scrimmage, 10-yard penalty. Second penalty of
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: the night. Two for 25 yards against the Cougars. It'll
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: be second down 22 from the Minutemen 46 on the
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: hashes along the Lincoln sideline. 4.30 on a running clock
- 2:12:16Speaker 2: in the third quarter. Lincoln up 54-7. Running clock to
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: start the second half. Snap to Bart. Hand off to
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: Trent Moore. Runs into Moore. Moore changes direction and dives
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: up the middle across the 45. Three-yard gain by Moore.
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: Third and 19 coming up for Lincoln.
- 2:12:39Speaker 3: Kind of ran into his quarterback on the exchange right there.
- 2:12:42Speaker 3: He would have had a few more yards right there.
- 2:12:45Speaker 3: Kind of slowed him down.
- 2:12:49Speaker 2: Bart looking for the call on the sideline by Kobe Carpenter.
- 2:12:56Speaker 2: Put Trent Moore behind the quarterback, Bart. Two tight ends,
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: Harrod and Miner, to the right side of Bart. Snap
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: to Bart. Hand off. It's Trent Moore. Met at the
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. Get a couple yards on the play,
- 2:13:10Speaker 2: but it's going to take the entire Lewis County defense
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: to bring him down. Flags come in behind the play.
- 2:13:14Speaker 2: It might be a face mask. Based on where that
- 2:13:18Speaker 2: was thrown at the end of the play, it's going
- 2:13:21Speaker 2: to be a two-yard run by Trent Moore after being
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: ganged up by six or seven defenders for the Minutemen.
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: Flags waved off. Remained a two-yard gain by Trent Moore.
- 2:13:37Speaker 2: Fourth and 17 coming up for Lincoln. Ball between, squarely
- 2:13:41Speaker 2: between the hashes at the 41.
- 2:13:43Speaker 3: Looks like they're going to punt the ball with Colton
- 2:13:46Speaker 3: Edwards coming in.
- 2:13:48Speaker 2: And honestly, you want to see Colton Edwards get more
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: reps from punting, and he had a really good one earlier.
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: He went from a rugby style to a straight-on attempt,
- 2:13:57Speaker 2: and it looks so much better on this Lincoln offense.
- 2:14:01Speaker 2: So Edwards will stand at the 45 of the Cougars.
- 2:14:05Speaker 4: Correction, it is Chad Jones.
- 2:14:07Speaker 2: Some pressure coming, but a good punt by Edwards. Dropped
- 2:14:11Speaker 2: in at the 15-yard line. Ball is on the ground.
- 2:14:13Speaker 2: Did Lincoln get it back? If it is, it's recovered
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: by Bryson Moore. It is Lewis County ball. As Chad
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: Jones tried to come and make the catch, he went
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: to his knees and fell. It'll be first and 10,
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: Lewis County. 2.28 left in the third quarter. 54-7 lead
- 2:14:33Speaker 2: for Lincoln over the Minutemen.
- 2:14:36Speaker 3: Yeah, had problems recovering that punt as well. Special teams
- 2:14:42Speaker 3: has been a real problem for Lewis County here this evening, Greg.
- 2:14:48Speaker 2: Ball at the 16. This is probably, and it may
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: not be the best, but this is some of the
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: best special teams play that Lincoln has had over the years.
- 2:14:56Speaker 2: Usually it's been what cost them games, but has kept
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: them in the games this season. Hand off to Ian
- 2:15:01Speaker 2: Brown around the left side on an end around from motion.
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: And that's going to be enough for a first down
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: after being pushed out by the Lincoln defense. I see
- 2:15:10Speaker 2: Cam Keller, freshman for the Cougars. That's going to be
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: a first down for Ian Brown for Lewis County. A
- 2:15:20Speaker 2: minute 53 left here in the third quarter. And that
- 2:15:25Speaker 2: will be a 11-yard run by Brown.
- 2:15:31Speaker 3: He's found some success going around the... The left end
- 2:15:34Speaker 3: on a couple of runs here this evening for Lewis County.
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: Gave up on the two ends, gave up on the
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: shotgun for the most part, went to two inset split.
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: A lot of motion either from Oldecker or Ian Brown.
- 2:15:47Speaker 2: Will do the same thing again with Zeke Brown under
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: center for the Minutemen at the 27-yard line. Hand off
- 2:15:53Speaker 2: to Ian Brown going left side, again following his lead
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: blockers and pushed out of bounds by Lincoln's defense. Is
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: that Bear Saab out there on the defensive side? That's
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: Brady Herod on the stop senior for Lincoln.
- 2:16:17Speaker 3: Looks like a nine-yard run for Ian Brown on first down.
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: About 50 seconds left. That was a nine-yard gain, like
- 2:16:25Speaker 2: you said, by Brown. Second and short at the 36.
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: Brady Herod, first year out for Lincoln, played... His younger
- 2:16:33Speaker 2: years as a Liberty Mountaineer. 35 seconds left here for
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: Zeke Brown will hand off. Got a crease and a
- 2:16:40Speaker 2: first down crossing the 40-yard line. That looks to be
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: the tailback, Blake Watson. It'll be a stop by Cade
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: Mooney and Trent Moore.
- 2:16:55Speaker 3: Give Watson four yards there on the run. Giving first
- 2:16:58Speaker 3: down here as this quarter is winding down.
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: Ball at the 40. And Lewis County looks to be
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: content to let that run out as well with five
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: seconds left. No score through the third quarter. It's a
- 2:17:11Speaker 2: shortened quarter. Went from 12 minutes to eight minutes. And
- 2:17:14Speaker 2: a running clock after a failed possession by Lincoln to
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: start the second half with backups in. We'll have the
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: start of the fourth quarter when we come back. This
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: break between the third and the fourth brought you by

- 2:18:03Speaker 1: Your home for the Lincoln Cougars is right here. On 93.5,
- 2:18:08Speaker 1: the FBY.
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: Back at Steinhardt Field. 54-7 lead for Lincoln at the
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: start of the fourth quarter. A shortened third quarter. Eight
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: minutes and running clock with the new rules implemented last year.
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: 42 points will start a running clock in the second half.
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: With any team up by that much, Lincoln was up
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: by 47 at the halftime break. And scoreless here in
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: the second half, but wow, what a start by Lincoln.
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: Special teams play has been outstanding. This probably has been
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: one of the best years Lincoln's had in special teams
- 2:18:42Speaker 2: to make up for all of the other parts where
- 2:18:44Speaker 2: they lack and, you know, being outgained from scrimmage offensively.
- 2:18:48Speaker 3: Yeah, really, Mooney's kickoffs have really been the difference here
- 2:18:52Speaker 3: this evening. Pooch kicks straight up in the air, Lewis
- 2:18:58Speaker 3: letting it hit, and Lincoln able to get extra possessions
- 2:19:01Speaker 3: that way here this evening.
- 2:19:03Speaker 2: Zeke Brown from shotgun. It's a keeper going to his
- 2:19:05Speaker 2: right side on first and 10 from their own 40.
- 2:19:07Speaker 2: Got the first down crossing midfield. Trying to bring him
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: down from behind at the 40-yard line. A stop made
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: by Lincoln's defense. It's going to be about a 20-yard
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: run by Zeke Brown. It's either Cade Mooney or Chasen Seifer.
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: Couldn't tell between the two. Making the stop for Lincoln.
- 2:19:33Speaker 2: Ball at the 39, keeper by Zeke Brown, going around
- 2:19:36Speaker 2: the corner again, following his lead blockers. Cade Mooney pushes
- 2:19:39Speaker 2: Zeke Brown out of bounds at the 31, 8-yard run
- 2:19:43Speaker 2: by the quarterback.
- 2:19:47Speaker 3: Two carries now for 29 yards in consecutive plays for
- 2:19:51Speaker 3: the quarterback, Zeke Brown.
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: 7-0-1, stop clock, timeout taken by Lewis County. They want
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: to try to punch this one in to make it
- 2:20:00Speaker 2: a Or an injured player on the field. Correction on that.
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: Thank you to Mike Darway, our clock operator. Brody Anderson
- 2:20:08Speaker 2: is limping off the field. They're going to bring in
- 2:20:10Speaker 2: Walker Sayers in his replace in the backfield. Brody Anderson? Oh,
- 2:20:19Speaker 2: Mike Darway was also our 50-50 winner tonight.
- 2:20:21Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: He donated all of it back. As well as helping
- 2:20:26Speaker 2: me out with that last play as well. Second and two.
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: A head off on the end around man in motion
- 2:20:30Speaker 2: to Chad Jones. He will go out of bounds for
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: a first down. Trying to catch the one who made
- 2:20:38Speaker 2: the stop defensively for Lincoln. Coming back at the 22.
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: That's going to be Joe Moore. Coming in playing defensively.
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: Joe Moore for Lincoln. Not until about Ten yards or
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: so were picked up by the back, and this time
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: wrapped up and ripped down back at the 30-yard line.
- 2:21:02Speaker 2: Loss on the play by Tanner Blankenship.
- 2:21:06Speaker 15: Tanner Blankenship.
- 2:21:07Speaker 2: Same play again as Chad Jones went in motion from
- 2:21:10Speaker 2: left to right. That time Blankenship played it well. Blankenship
- 2:21:14Speaker 2: a senior on this Lincoln team. Lost six on the play.
- 2:21:19Speaker 3: Chad Jones with a six-yard loss there. Nice defensive play
- 2:21:24Speaker 3: for Lincoln. Bring you up second down and long here
- 2:21:26Speaker 3: for Lewis County.
- 2:21:29Speaker 2: Had a few tackles for loss, but that's a big
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: one there. First of the season for Blankenship. Second and
- 2:21:34Speaker 2: long at the Lincoln 27. Running clock, 5.35 to go
- 2:21:39Speaker 2: here in the fourth quarter. Lincoln up by 47 points.
- 2:21:42Speaker 2: Zeke Brown, pressure but throws it. Tries to complete it
- 2:21:45Speaker 2: to Lincoln. Wolverton, Kellen Wolverton, and they will say it's complete.
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: All the way down to the 28. That's going to
- 2:22:02Speaker 2: be a pickup of 10 on the play. Third and
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: six coming up for the Lewis County offense here in
- 2:22:10Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.
- 2:22:15Speaker 3: Ball resting on the 18-yard line of Lincoln.
- 2:22:20Speaker 2: Seek Brown under center. Rolls out left side. Design run.
- 2:22:24Speaker 2: After tucking it in and trying to get around the corner,
- 2:22:27Speaker 2: he'll be pushed out of bounds by Chase and Cypher
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: at the 9-yard line. That'll be a 9-yard run and
- 2:22:35Speaker 2: a first down for Lewis County.
- 2:22:39Speaker 3: Lewis finding success around both ends. They really have it.
- 2:22:44Speaker 3: Abandon running up the middle here this evening, especially since
- 2:22:48Speaker 3: the first quarter.
- 2:22:51Speaker 2: And that's what Lewis County is very comfortable with, loading
- 2:22:54Speaker 2: up the side they intend to run. Don't really try
- 2:22:57Speaker 2: to hide much from you. We've seen them do a
- 2:23:00Speaker 2: lot of misdirection in years past with that setup, and
- 2:23:04Speaker 2: that has been a thorn in Lincoln's foot defensively, but
- 2:23:07Speaker 2: tonight they've been able to smell it out after a
- 2:23:10Speaker 2: few hard first drives by the Minutemen handoff. To the
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: back and brought down by Lincolns, Gavin Nutter. That will
- 2:23:19Speaker 2: be Blake Watson, I believe, on the carry.
- 2:23:25Speaker 3: Give him four yards there on first down, second down,
- 2:23:28Speaker 3: and goal to go for the Minutemen.
- 2:23:32Speaker 2: Gavin Nutter, a sophomore on this Cougar squad. Second and
- 2:23:38Speaker 2: goal at the five. Zeke Brown goes under center. Behind
- 2:23:42Speaker 2: him stands Blake Watson. Three and a half to go.
- 2:23:47Speaker 2: Keeper by the quarterback. Zeke Brown, and he is in
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: the end zone. Touchdown, Lewis County. Clock stopped 321. Here, well,
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: still moving. That's right, still moving with the running clock.
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: I'll say 321 in the fourth for Lewis County. Five-yard
- 2:24:10Speaker 2: run by the quarterback. That's a second rushing touchdown of
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: the night by Zeke Brown.
- 2:24:15Speaker 3: Yeah, he's accounted for all the offense here this evening
- 2:24:17Speaker 3: for the Minutemen as they're getting set to kick the
- 2:24:20Speaker 3: extra point here.
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: Aidan Oldacre out to attempt the extra point. Holder, Chad
- 2:24:29Speaker 2: Jones for the Minutemen. Snap from the right seam. Kick
- 2:24:35Speaker 2: is up. And it goes through the uprights. It'll be
- 2:24:39Speaker 2: a 54-14 lead for Lincoln, 3-13 here in the fourth quarter.
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: We'll take a 30-second break. We'll come back to Shenston
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: after this break. Brought to you by Advantage Technology, Johnson

- 2:26:13Speaker 2: away by Aidan Oldaker. And it's away and pulled in
- 2:26:17Speaker 2: at the eight-yard line by the Cougars on the return
- 2:26:23Speaker 2: for Lincoln. was Gavin Nutter. For Nutter, that's about, it
- 2:26:33Speaker 2: looks to be about a 10-yard return for the Cougars.
- 2:26:36Speaker 2: That's where the Cougars will take over. 3.05 left in
- 2:26:39Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. The Cougars up by 40, and they'll
- 2:26:43Speaker 2: go back to traditional clock rules here as it surpassed
- 2:26:48Speaker 2: the 42-point mark. Now they started again. They started running
- 2:26:53Speaker 2: the clock again. As they're waiting for the signal on
- 2:26:56Speaker 2: the field. In shotgun. Two backs to each side. For
- 2:27:01Speaker 2: a new quarterback. And Cam Keller. Hand off to Gavin Nutter.
- 2:27:03Speaker 2: Stretching out left side. Metalyze scrimmage. Flags are thrown on
- 2:27:07Speaker 2: the play as well. After a stop by Bear. Rorbo.
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: Waiting for the call. It's going to be holding against Lincolns.
- 2:27:24Speaker 3: I don't negate the run by Nutter.
- 2:27:29Speaker 2: Three penalties for 35 yards against Lincoln tonight. Very clean game.
- 2:27:33Speaker 2: Both sides for Lincoln and Lewis County They'll make it
- 2:27:37Speaker 2: first and long. Bring it all the way back to
- 2:27:41Speaker 2: the 17 of the Cougars. Actually set it closer to
- 2:27:49Speaker 2: the 18, so only about nine yards difference from the
- 2:27:52Speaker 2: original line of scrimmage for Cam Keller, new quarterback. In
- 2:27:55Speaker 2: for the Cougars. Hand off to Nutter again. Following his
- 2:27:57Speaker 2: blocks around the side. Almost back to the original line
- 2:28:00Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Nice carry by Nutter. Poor Lincoln. Pushed out
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: of bounds again. Bear Rorbo, the sophomore linebacker for the Minutemen.
- 2:28:13Speaker 3: Give Nutter eight yards there on first. It was first
- 2:28:16Speaker 3: and long. Now it's second down. About 12 to go.
- 2:28:19Speaker 2: And yes, there is another Keller. Started off doing play-by-play
- 2:28:24Speaker 2: and And caller with Andrew Caridi a few years ago.
- 2:28:27Speaker 2: We had Nick Keller for three years for Lincoln on
- 2:28:30Speaker 2: the offense. And Cam Keller is a freshman getting some
- 2:28:33Speaker 2: snaps here in varsity play as a freshman.
- 2:28:35Speaker 3: A snap.
- 2:28:38Speaker 2: A handoff around the corner. I believe that might be
- 2:28:39Speaker 2: Colin Shriver carrying it for Lincoln, dragging the defense forward.
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: I have to see if that is his number standing up. 25,
- 2:28:54Speaker 2: that is Colin Shriver with the carry. Third and short
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: coming up for Lincoln. Doing a really good job following
- 2:29:01Speaker 2: the blocks for this Lincoln offense. Third and three coming up.
- 2:29:07Speaker 2: That's about a nine-yard carry by Shriver.
- 2:29:10Speaker 3: Yeah, nice run there around the left side for Shriver here.
- 2:29:13Speaker 3: Probably the last play of the game here coming up.
- 2:29:17Speaker 2: Let's see what they do. They have Shriver right side
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: of Keller, Nutter left side. On third and short. Two
- 2:29:25Speaker 2: receivers to the right. Hand off to Shriver. He's got
- 2:29:29Speaker 2: the first down at the 40. At midfield and goes
- 2:29:32Speaker 2: out of bounds. At the 44. That is a gain
- 2:29:38Speaker 2: of 10 by the sophomore tailback, Colin Shriver. Nice little
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: carry in first down to be the final play of
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: the game.
- 2:29:46Speaker 21: Lincoln.
- 2:29:47Speaker 2: Will secure their third win of the season, 54-14 over
- 2:29:52Speaker 2: Lewis County after their bye week. We'll drop to 0-5
- 2:29:57Speaker 2: on the season. And Lincoln will go back to 3-3
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: with a big matchup at RCB next week. RCB was
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: taking care of business over East Fairmont last we checked.
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: And they will have to be in full force again
- 2:30:10Speaker 2: like they did last week versus North Merion to be
- 2:30:12Speaker 2: up to the challenge over the Eagles of RCB next week.
- 2:30:17Speaker 3: Yeah, big contest next week. Credit them tonight for taking
- 2:30:21Speaker 3: care of business early and getting this lopsided victory here
- 2:30:26Speaker 3: this evening. Because Lewis County could not overcome all these turnovers.
- 2:30:29Speaker 3: But next week, a big game for Lincoln. An inter-county
- 2:30:33Speaker 3: matchup against RCB, which will be big points for Lincoln
- 2:30:36Speaker 3: if they're able to get that victory next week, Craig.
- 2:30:40Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll try to check on the score at wvmetronews.com.
- 2:30:43Speaker 2: But for now... Lincoln can celebrate the boys of fall
- 2:30:46Speaker 2: here this evening with a 54-14 win. 3-3 on the
- 2:30:49Speaker 2: season as Lincoln will hold on to their 14th rating
- 2:30:52Speaker 2: in Class AA and build upon it with that 40-point
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: win tonight over Lewis County after dropping to 0-5. We'll
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: take a three-minute break. We'll come back to Steinhardt Field,
- 2:31:01Speaker 2: and maybe in a moment we'll get an interview with
- 2:31:03Speaker 2: head coach Rob Hawkins. After the win tonight for Lincoln,
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: they're 3-0 on the season at home. Let's see if
- 2:31:10Speaker 2: they can try to go on the road next week
- 2:31:11Speaker 2: and get their first win on the road after they
- 2:31:14Speaker 2: nailed down their first conference win over Lewis County tonight.

- 2:34:34Speaker 4: with your Lincoln Cougars on 93.5 The FBY.
- 2:34:44Speaker 2: Back here at Steidahar Field, Craig Dutton, Josh Mudcat-Helmick. We
- 2:34:49Speaker 2: were hoping to have Mike Wolfe with us tonight. Our
- 2:34:51Speaker 2: thoughts are with Duke as he's ailing right now. But hey,
- 2:34:55Speaker 2: in the pinch hit is Mitch Osborne. I got him
- 2:34:57Speaker 2: standing right where I want him. It's a 25. Waiting
- 2:35:00Speaker 2: for Rob Hawkins to do a postgame interview. Rob Hawkins
- 2:35:03Speaker 2: is going to talk with the team for a moment.
- 2:35:05Speaker 2: But honestly, that was a nice win to get back
- 2:35:07Speaker 2: on track. He really, really wanted that win over North
- 2:35:10Speaker 2: Mary and Mudcap. But still, that's a good way to
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: respond and get some experience for guys who don't normally
- 2:35:16Speaker 2: see varsity play.
- 2:35:17Speaker 3: Yeah, just a great statement win here this evening. Kind
- 2:35:21Speaker 3: of imposing your will from the get-go, recovering the onside
- 2:35:25Speaker 3: kick at the beginning of the game, and just a
- 2:35:27Speaker 3: great job all together for this Cougar team who really
- 2:35:31Speaker 3: wanted to win last week but really bounced back in
- 2:35:34Speaker 3: a big way. And it's nice to see that they
- 2:35:36Speaker 3: were able to shake last week off and able to
- 2:35:39Speaker 3: dominate as much as they did here this evening, Craig.
- 2:35:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always sweeter for the Lincoln fans and the
- 2:35:45Speaker 2: faithful and including, most importantly, student athletes for the Cougars.
- 2:35:49Speaker 2: to hear the boys of fall playing here at Stidehart Field,
- 2:35:51Speaker 2: and you can hear it ringing in the background between
- 2:35:54Speaker 2: myself and Mudcat. The coaching staff is addressing the Cougars
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: right now after, on Military Appreciation Night, came out strong
- 2:36:02Speaker 2: with a 40-point win, 54-14. They will go on the
- 2:36:07Speaker 2: road next week to RCB. It is a final from
- 2:36:12Speaker 2: Fairmont tonight. They won 49-0 over East Fairmont. And also
- 2:36:17Speaker 2: we're watching really closely right now is Bridgeport. It's 42-35
- 2:36:22Speaker 2: Bridgeport on the road at Fort Hill, Maryland. And then
- 2:36:31Speaker 2: we'll wait for the finishing of that matchup before WKMZ
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: will start in. Oh, rain's starting to fall here in Shenston.
- 2:36:41Speaker 2: I'm starting to see the raindrops drop here at Steinhardt Field,
- 2:36:44Speaker 2: now looking against the light. So a lot of the
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: fans have taken off here from Steinhardt Field, but you'll
- 2:36:49Speaker 2: take the win tonight to get back to 3-3. 0-5
- 2:36:52Speaker 2: Lewis County, back to the drawing board, but they're very young.
- 2:36:55Speaker 2: You look at their line play, everyone on the line
- 2:36:58Speaker 2: were all sophomores and freshmen, so it will only get
- 2:37:01Speaker 2: better for Dustin Coker's squad from here on out. I
- 2:37:04Speaker 2: think they just need to build up a reputation along
- 2:37:06Speaker 2: the line, and Lincoln had a little rough start trying
- 2:37:09Speaker 2: to figure that out, But once they got settled in,
- 2:37:12Speaker 2: they were creating holes for Connor Rice, Cade Mooney, Isaiah Ice,
- 2:37:16Speaker 2: everyone else after that. Nutter and even Shriver.
- 2:37:19Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a nice balanced attack here this evening
- 2:37:22Speaker 3: for Lincoln. Saab really made a statement here in the
- 2:37:25Speaker 3: first quarter, really, with his first four completions. all going
- 2:37:30Speaker 3: for touchdowns. And then Connor Rice got going in the
- 2:37:33Speaker 3: second quarter, been able to run the ball extremely well,
- 2:37:36Speaker 3: over 100 yards here this evening for Connor Rice, just
- 2:37:39Speaker 3: in a half of action. And just an all-around great effort.
- 2:37:43Speaker 3: Special teams, defensively, they were able to shut down Lewis County,
- 2:37:47Speaker 3: unable to do Other than the 70-yard pass play in
- 2:37:52Speaker 3: the first quarter was about the only one I noticed
- 2:37:55Speaker 3: going for really any kind of yardage for Lewis County
- 2:37:58Speaker 3: here this evening. So credit Lincoln on a great job
- 2:38:02Speaker 3: for that. Coming up with a great win here this
- 2:38:09Speaker 3: evening as we're waiting on Coach Hawkins coming up down here.
- 2:38:13Speaker 2: With Mitch Osborne. I thought he was going to go
- 2:38:15Speaker 2: off in the locker room. I don't blame him because
- 2:38:17Speaker 2: I think he's got cooked sausage in there this evening
- 2:38:20Speaker 2: for the players and the team. So he was looking
- 2:38:22Speaker 2: forward to that. But he turned right at the last moment.
- 2:38:24Speaker 2: He was like, oh, wait, who's going to be there?
- 2:38:27Speaker 2: So Mitch Osborne with head coach Rob Hawkins. Victorious tonight
- 2:38:30Speaker 2: in the 54-14 win. We'll send it now down to
- 2:38:34Speaker 2: Mitch Osborne with head coach Rob Hawkins.
- 2:38:39Speaker 20: All right, sideline here with Coach Rob Hawkins after a
- 2:38:42Speaker 20: big win here at Styler Field. Coach, how does it
- 2:38:44Speaker 20: feel to get back in the win column after a
- 2:38:45Speaker 20: tough loss last week at North?
- 2:38:47Speaker 12: I thought it was.
- 2:38:48Speaker 13: Big for us to come out, and we want to
- 2:38:50Speaker 13: see how they responded. I thought we definitely responded well.
- 2:38:54Speaker 13: You know, early on we had a few blocking issues,
- 2:38:57Speaker 13: but our offensive line stayed out. We had a couple corrections,
- 2:39:00Speaker 13: and after that we were able to continue coming.
- 2:39:12Speaker 2: Sorry for the technical issues. I think we did lose
- 2:39:14Speaker 2: Rob Hawkins there on the mic room. See if we
- 2:39:17Speaker 2: can get it back here with Mitch, who's with head
- 2:39:20Speaker 2: coach Hawkins. They're just talking away and I feel so bad.
- 2:39:23Speaker 2: They're not even coming through at this point. Hopefully we'll
- 2:39:28Speaker 2: be able to get them back here shortly. Do a
- 2:39:31Speaker 2: reset on my end here. And now I've lost them
- 2:39:37Speaker 2: for that entire postgame interview. And we'll try to get
- 2:39:41Speaker 2: Coach Rob Hawkins. We'll discuss it more in pregame next week.
- 2:39:44Speaker 2: So I hate doing that, though, but the microphone just
- 2:39:48Speaker 2: died on us. I know Mitch is on the way,
- 2:39:50Speaker 2: and it's probably a really good conversation. I might even
- 2:39:53Speaker 2: be able to get Mitch to come up here and
- 2:39:54Speaker 2: discuss it with me in a little bit. So what
- 2:39:56Speaker 2: we'll go ahead and do is we'll take another break,
- 2:39:59Speaker 2: and we'll come back here to Steidahard Field. And there
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: comes Coach Hawkins.
- 2:40:09Speaker 20: So we get back to 500 here. We look at
- 2:40:11Speaker 20: the upcoming schedule. We've got things going to get a
- 2:40:13Speaker 20: little tougher. We go to Byrd next week. Then we
- 2:40:15Speaker 20: get a bye week. We've got four tough games left.
- 2:40:17Speaker 20: So if we can get things rolling, what can we
- 2:40:20Speaker 20: take out of this that we need to work on?
- 2:40:22Speaker 12: I know we had a lot of good things.
- 2:40:24Speaker 2: We went by 40.
- 2:40:24Speaker 20: But what can we take out of this that we
- 2:40:26Speaker 20: can build on this for the upcoming four games that
- 2:40:28Speaker 20: we've got left?
- 2:40:33Speaker 2: So we get Mitch really well. But as soon as
- 2:40:35Speaker 2: we hand it off to Coach Hawkins, we lose him.
- 2:40:41Speaker 2: We'll get the thoughts from Mitch when we come back.
- 2:40:43Speaker 2: So we'll go ahead and take a break and we'll
- 2:40:45Speaker 2: come back here to Stidehart Field as the rain is
- 2:40:48Speaker 2: coming down here in Shenston. So we'll take a break
- 2:40:51Speaker 2: and we'll come back and more coverage of Lincoln Cougar

- 2:44:07Speaker 1: the FB1.
- 2:44:12Speaker 2: Back at Steiner Harfield and coverage of Lincoln Cougar football
- 2:44:16Speaker 2: and postgame action. 54-14 the final tonight. for Lincoln over
- 2:44:21Speaker 2: Lewis County. Big thanks to Mitch Osborne who went on
- 2:44:23Speaker 2: the field. It started pouring the rain down here in
- 2:44:25Speaker 2: Shenston as he started the interview with Rob Hawkins. Rob
- 2:44:28Speaker 2: was impressed, but he did bring up a really good
- 2:44:31Speaker 2: point that Mitch relayed to us as well. And a
- 2:44:33Speaker 2: big thanks to Mitch for doing that as well, is
- 2:44:35Speaker 2: that The third quarter, he didn't really have a chance
- 2:44:37Speaker 2: for his JV to get varsity action because when you
- 2:44:40Speaker 2: have that running clock at the start of the second half,
- 2:44:43Speaker 2: you don't have that third quarter anymore to do that
- 2:44:45Speaker 2: with that 47-point lead.
- 2:44:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it really was your second-team varsity. You brought Jacob
- 2:44:50Speaker 3: Bart in at quarterback, and he handed off to Trent Moore,
- 2:44:53Speaker 3: who got his first varsity carries. That was nice to
- 2:44:56Speaker 3: see there in the third quarter, but then you only
- 2:44:58Speaker 3: had one possession with your true JV guys in the
- 2:45:02Speaker 3: fourth quarter to get them some some reps with the
- 2:45:04Speaker 3: defense as well. You had a little mixture of starters
- 2:45:07Speaker 3: and bench players in the third quarter. Then it was
- 2:45:12Speaker 3: all JV players in the fourth quarter. So, yeah, you
- 2:45:14Speaker 3: don't get a lot of reps with the young guys,
- 2:45:17Speaker 3: which you would have got to in the past. But
- 2:45:22Speaker 3: that's just a byproduct of the total domination in the
- 2:45:26Speaker 3: first half, Craig.
- 2:45:27Speaker 2: Has been. And Lincoln will have to build upon it
- 2:45:30Speaker 2: in a short week again. They have one more matchup
- 2:45:32Speaker 2: before they head into their bye. They'll take on Robert Seabird,
- 2:45:35Speaker 2: who will be 5-1 in that matchup. One of the
- 2:45:38Speaker 2: top teams in Class AAA and the Big Ten. They
- 2:45:40Speaker 2: took it on the chin versus Bridgeport last week, but
- 2:45:43Speaker 2: they played gutsy this season. Done a really good job
- 2:45:46Speaker 2: to only have one loss at this point. They're going
- 2:45:48Speaker 2: to come ready because last two matchups between Lincoln and
- 2:45:51Speaker 2: RCB have been determined by seven points in 2023 and
- 2:45:54Speaker 2: 2024 and 2025. So Lincoln's going to try to go
- 2:46:02Speaker 2: into Eagle Stadium and RCB Stadium and try to get
- 2:46:05Speaker 2: a statement win to get back above. 500 for the
- 2:46:08Speaker 2: first time this season.
- 2:46:09Speaker 3: Yeah, really, that was their statement win last year. The
- 2:46:12Speaker 3: three-game stretch with Lewis County, RCB, and Buchanan, you got
- 2:46:17Speaker 3: those three wins, and it kind of said, okay, no
- 2:46:20Speaker 3: matter what you do the rest of the way, you're
- 2:46:21Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I think the same thing is going
- 2:46:23Speaker 3: to happen this year. If you can beat RCB and
- 2:46:26Speaker 3: get the win at Buchanan on a quad A win,
- 2:46:30Speaker 3: I think no matter what you do at the final
- 2:46:32Speaker 3: two games at home, you're going to be in the playoffs.
- 2:46:35Speaker 2: That would be five and five. And you would be safely.
- 2:46:38Speaker 2: And honestly, the numbers right now are looking even better
- 2:46:41Speaker 2: for Lincoln this year with a four and six record.
- 2:46:44Speaker 2: Some quick numbers were done where they could be at
- 2:46:46Speaker 2: Sissonville or Williamstown as a 13 seed. But Rob Hawkins
- 2:46:50Speaker 2: told me he doesn't really want the boys to know
- 2:46:52Speaker 2: that either. They're aiming for five or more at this
- 2:46:54Speaker 2: point because five could put you in close to being
- 2:46:57Speaker 2: in the top ten. Six is going to make you
- 2:46:59Speaker 2: have a first-round home game with the schedule they play.
- 2:47:01Speaker 3: It really looks that way. What really helps you, your
- 2:47:04Speaker 3: loss is South Harrison. They're winning ballgames. They have only
- 2:47:08Speaker 3: a loss to us this year. North Marion, they're winning ballgames.
- 2:47:13Speaker 3: The teams you've lost to are winning games and are
- 2:47:19Speaker 3: highly rated, too.
- 2:47:20Speaker 23: Far.
- 2:47:20Speaker 3: About the only game so far this season where teams
- 2:47:24Speaker 3: you've beat are not beating other teams is Lewis County.
- 2:47:27Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:47:27Speaker 3: Everybody else, Nicholas has won a few ballgames for us
- 2:47:30Speaker 3: after we beat them. But so in last week's game,
- 2:47:34Speaker 3: if you would have won it last week, you're probably
- 2:47:36Speaker 3: really solidifying yourself in the upper echelon of double-A, and
- 2:47:40Speaker 3: you can still do that. If you win out, you're
- 2:47:42Speaker 3: probably going to be a three or four or five
- 2:47:44Speaker 3: seed in class double-A at seven and three with a
- 2:47:48Speaker 3: schedule Lincoln plays.
- 2:47:49Speaker 2: Phillip Barber, I think, has proven that too. Both them
- 2:47:52Speaker 2: and Lincoln are going to be the beneficiaries of the
- 2:47:55Speaker 2: Big Ten Conference to be where they're at in class double-A.
- 2:47:58Speaker 2: And you know there's some teams in the Big Ten
- 2:48:00Speaker 2: are like, We really want to be able to have
- 2:48:02Speaker 2: to do that, too. Honestly, that's a testament to the
- 2:48:05Speaker 2: conference itself and a testament to what Phillip Barber and
- 2:48:08Speaker 2: Lincoln have to do as the only two AA members
- 2:48:11Speaker 2: and what they have to face on a seasonal basis
- 2:48:14Speaker 2: in Class AA play as I try to get some
- 2:48:16Speaker 2: of our equipment back inside because the rain is still
- 2:48:19Speaker 2: coming down here in Shenston. So like we said, Lincoln
- 2:48:23Speaker 2: will take their 3-3 record, take on 5-1 RCB next week.
- 2:48:26Speaker 2: We have some stats to go over, and then we'll
- 2:48:28Speaker 2: give out Our Player of the Game Award brought to
- 2:48:30Speaker 2: you by Brickside Bar and Grill.

- 2:50:03Speaker 3: a total of 365 yards of offense tonight. Crazy in
- 2:50:07Speaker 3: the stats. Jacob Barnes shut out this evening. No catches
- 2:50:10Speaker 3: this evening. Maybe the first game he's had as a
- 2:50:13Speaker 3: Cougar without a catch.
- 2:50:15Speaker 2: The first game of the season because he had to
- 2:50:17Speaker 2: play quarterback. And that doesn't really count because he had
- 2:50:19Speaker 2: to be at the cue position. for Lincoln, so that
- 2:50:23Speaker 2: would be the first time. That happened to Edwards where
- 2:50:25Speaker 2: he was stopped and nothing last week. I think he
- 2:50:28Speaker 2: had a catch for zero yards versus North Marion. Defensively,
- 2:50:32Speaker 2: very small tonight because they weren't on the field very much,
- 2:50:35Speaker 2: and you have that in these type of matchups. Leading
- 2:50:37Speaker 2: the way with six tackles was Cade Mooney, half tackle
- 2:50:40Speaker 2: for loss. Backing him up was Connor Rice with five stops.
- 2:50:43Speaker 2: Two of them were solo. Mooney also had two solo stops. Also,
- 2:50:48Speaker 2: with four stops, Colton Edwards, Brody Anderson, Trent Moore, Brody
- 2:50:54Speaker 2: Anderson with a blocked field goal return tonight as well.
- 2:50:58Speaker 2: That was very interesting on the special team side, and
- 2:51:00Speaker 2: they had two fumble recoveries on special teams in the
- 2:51:03Speaker 2: opening half. So just a dominant play in that opening half.
- 2:51:06Speaker 2: They just barely outdid Lewis County on the scrimmage tonight
- 2:51:10Speaker 2: total in offensive yards. That special teams play makes up
- 2:51:13Speaker 2: such a big difference on this Lincoln team.
- 2:51:16Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, Craig. It was a difference tonight, and It
- 2:51:20Speaker 3: reared its head for the first play, the first kickoff
- 2:51:23Speaker 3: from scrimmage. Lincoln gets the ball. Second time they scored,
- 2:51:28Speaker 3: Lincoln gets the ball. So it really was just an
- 2:51:35Speaker 3: all-around great effort tonight for the Cougars.
- 2:51:37Speaker 2: Well, that brings us to our Player of the Game Award,
- 2:51:39Speaker 2: brought to you by Brickside Bar and Grill, the perfect
- 2:51:41Speaker 2: place to celebrate a win located in Bridgeport and Fairmont.
- 2:51:44Speaker 2: Number of names, they're consistent names we have from game
- 2:51:47Speaker 2: to game that really come out. You could make a
- 2:51:50Speaker 2: case for Cade Mooney for how he plays on special teams,
- 2:51:53Speaker 2: how he put pressure, and just how he places things.
- 2:51:56Speaker 2: He led the way defensively. Connor Rice consistently. He's over
- 2:51:59Speaker 2: 800 yards rushing on the season. Now he stands on
- 2:52:04Speaker 2: the season with 807 yards on the season rushing on
- 2:52:09Speaker 2: his way to maybe be the second 1,000-yard single-season rusher
- 2:52:12Speaker 2: for Rob Hawkins in the nearly decade and a half
- 2:52:15Speaker 2: he's been at the helm here for Lincoln. And even
- 2:52:18Speaker 2: Bear Saab. Rough start.
- 2:52:20Speaker 3: A.J.
- 2:52:20Speaker 2: Bart had a rough start versus Lewis County last year.
- 2:52:22Speaker 2: Had to pick six, go back for Lewis County, and
- 2:52:26Speaker 2: then he responded with a phenomenal performance. And Saab did
- 2:52:29Speaker 2: the same thing. Yards don't show it, but he found
- 2:52:32Speaker 2: different receivers that got hot at the right time in
- 2:52:35Speaker 2: that first half.
- 2:52:36Speaker 3: He completed five passes tonight, four of them for touchdowns.
- 2:52:40Speaker 3: Eighty percent of his passes went for touchdowns tonight. Fifty
- 2:52:44Speaker 3: percent of his total attempts went for touchdowns tonight. Yep.
- 2:52:49Speaker 3: Not a whole lot of attempts, and yet four touchdowns.
- 2:52:53Speaker 3: He did have the one interception, which was a great
- 2:52:55Speaker 3: defensive play by Lewis County when Lincoln was getting ready
- 2:52:58Speaker 3: to score there. But, yeah, I would say Bear Saab
- 2:53:02Speaker 3: deserves one of the honors. I could see Cade Mooney.
- 2:53:04Speaker 3: I could also see Connor Rice as well.
- 2:53:06Speaker 2: Was there anyone else that stuck out? We'll probably just
- 2:53:08Speaker 2: stick with those three this evening as far as I know.
- 2:53:12Speaker 3: The only other two that stick out in my mind
- 2:53:15Speaker 3: would be Brody Anderson on the return for the touchdown.
- 2:53:19Speaker 3: And Braden Miner on his touchdown catch that went for–
- 2:53:26Speaker 3: let me look at it real quick. You have it there,
- 2:53:28Speaker 3: I'm sure. But he went for 64 yards and a
- 2:53:30Speaker 3: touchdown on a nice run there. And he led us
- 2:53:34Speaker 3: away in yards receiving this evening as well, Braden Miner.
- 2:53:37Speaker 2: And defensively, he wasn't much of a factor. I think
- 2:53:39Speaker 2: they double teamed him a lot because they know he
- 2:53:41Speaker 2: gets behind the line of scrimmage. I like it. We'll
- 2:53:44Speaker 2: go through those five tonight. Our players of the game
- 2:53:46Speaker 2: brought to you by– Brickside Bar and Grill, the perfect
- 2:53:49Speaker 2: place to celebrate a win, located in Bridgeport and Fairmont.
- 2:53:52Speaker 2: We'll go to seniors, Braden Miner, Brody Anderson, Connor Rice,
- 2:53:57Speaker 2: and juniors, Bear Saab and Caden Mooney. So, I know,
- 2:54:02Speaker 2: I'm okay with five, especially after we did ten two
- 2:54:04Speaker 2: weeks ago. So, I think it'll be okay to cut
- 2:54:07Speaker 2: that in half as well. Again, our thoughts are with
- 2:54:10Speaker 2: Mike Wolfe and his son, Duke. Hopefully, Duke, you get
- 2:54:12Speaker 2: feeling better as well. I'm going to be back on
- 2:54:14Speaker 2: the call next week between Mike, Mudcat, and myself. in
- 2:54:17Speaker 2: Clarksburg at RCB Stadium when they'll take on the 5-1
- 2:54:21Speaker 2: Robert C. Byrd Eagles. 3-3 Lincoln Cougars next week. Big
- 2:54:24Speaker 2: thanks to Rob Hawkins and his coaching staff, his team

- 2:55:12Speaker 2: it'll be Mike and Mudcat next week. and coverage of
- 2:55:15Speaker 2: Lincoln Cougar football here on the FBY. Any final thoughts, Mudcat,
- 2:55:19Speaker 2: as we wrap up our broadcast tonight?
- 2:55:20Speaker 3: Great win tonight. Next week, it's going to take an
- 2:55:23Speaker 3: effort like you had at Woodcutter Stadium last week against
- 2:55:26Speaker 3: North Merion. If they play with that kind of effort
- 2:55:29Speaker 3: next week, I think you'll like the outcome of next
- 2:55:32Speaker 3: week's ballgame against RCB.
- 2:55:34Speaker 2: Again, my biggest thanks, though, is everyone at WVRC Media.

- 2:55:57Speaker 2: good matchup between the Eagles and the Cougars. And we'll
