2:51
Speaker 1: with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Rodriguez was also
2:57
Speaker 1: named the Big Twelve Defensive Player of the Year. I
3:01
Speaker 1: will tell you he was my vote to win the
3:05
Speaker 1: Lombardi Award. I voted Cash's Hall second and I voted
3:10
Speaker 1: Caden Proctor third, as we were allowed to vote on
3:14
Speaker 1: three finalists.
3:16
Speaker 3: A and M.
3:16
Speaker 1: According to multi media reports, will elevate lyle hemphilt A
3:23
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Jay Bateman is headed to Kentucky. Impill's official
3:30
Speaker 1: title was associate head coach of the defense. He joined
3:33
Speaker 1: the staff from James Madison last January. Previously co defensive
3:39
Speaker 1: coordinator and safeties coach at Duke with Mike Elko. He
3:43
Speaker 1: has worked with Elko for a while. Bateman was in
3:47
Speaker 1: the second of a two year deal at A and M,
3:50
Speaker 1: where he made one point one million dollars This past season.
3:54
Speaker 1: He also coached linebackers. Was one of the first hires
3:59
Speaker 1: for La Coast staff. He will go to Kentucky. Former
4:05
Speaker 1: Michigan football coach Sharon Moore remains in custody in the
4:10
Speaker 1: suspect an alleged assault. He is expected to be arraigned
4:15
Speaker 1: tomorrow at Pittsfield Township, Michigan. The Washtontah County Prosecutor's office
4:24
Speaker 1: says it does not expect a decision on the criminal
4:28
Speaker 1: charges today. Authorities have not yet released details of his arrest.
4:35
Speaker 1: He was incarcerated in the Washingtonaw County jail yesterday, hours
4:41
Speaker 1: after being fired as the football coach at Michigan in
4:45
Speaker 1: what was called an inappropriate relationship with the staff member.
4:50
Speaker 1: Reports today indicate there was an altercation at that person's
4:56
Speaker 1: house following Moore's fi wring.
5:01
Speaker 3: I'm not.
5:03
Speaker 1: An attorney, although I have several friends who are. It
5:09
Speaker 1: seems a little odd that he has not bonded out
5:15
Speaker 1: and remains in jail right now. I'm not sure. There
5:22
Speaker 1: were also reports of some emotional issues as well, which
5:29
Speaker 1: would make this case even sadder than it already is.
5:34
Speaker 1: We will, I guess, find out more details, and we
5:37
Speaker 1: will find out the nature of the charges tomorrow when
5:42
Speaker 1: he appears in court. Yahoo Sports Ross Dellinger says that
5:50
Speaker 1: as part of a memorandum of understanding signed by the
5:54
Speaker 1: CFP last spring, Notre Dame was guaranteed a playoff spot
5:58
Speaker 1: if it's ranked in the top twelve that's beginning next year.
6:02
Speaker 1: Should the playoff field expand to fourteen and additional ad
6:09
Speaker 1: large purse are added. The Irish would be a locked
6:13
Speaker 1: for a spot if they're ranked thirteenth or higher, but
6:18
Speaker 1: athletic directors and other programs, according to Yahoo's Dan Walkin,
6:24
Speaker 1: don't like that they're threatening to freeze Notre Dame out
6:29
Speaker 1: of future schedules. I don't know if that holds any
6:38
Speaker 1: future discussions at all, but we shall see. The twenty
6:43
Speaker 1: twenty eight Olympics may force USC football out of the
6:49
Speaker 1: La Colisseum, where they have played since nineteen twenty three.
6:56
Speaker 1: Reports indicate the Trojans may have to play their home
7:00
Speaker 1: football games at Sofi Stadium after the Olympics. Why well,
7:07
Speaker 1: there's a chance that the one hundred million dollars temporary
7:12
Speaker 1: track And that's just me, but it seems like a
7:16
Speaker 1: lot of money for a track. That track will be
7:20
Speaker 1: torn down after the Olympics, but it's being built on
7:25
Speaker 1: top of the football field, which is a natural surface.
7:32
Speaker 1: It won't be torn down until July thirtieth closing ceremony,
7:37
Speaker 1: but the playing surface was would have to be restored
7:41
Speaker 1: in basically six weeks to get it ready for the
7:45
Speaker 1: football season, which seems a little unlikely. And the Texas
7:52
Speaker 1: Rangers have lost one of their mainstay relievers from a
7:56
Speaker 1: year ago. Hoby Milner has signed a one year contract
8:01
Speaker 1: with the Cubs where three point seventy five million. Milner,
8:06
Speaker 1: who's thirty four, appeared in a team leading seventy three
8:11
Speaker 1: games for the Rangers last year. All right, um, I'll
8:18
Speaker 1: catch up on a little bit of what's going on.
8:22
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. We're gonna hear from coach Elko,
8:26
Speaker 1: among other things coming up after the final lap. Brought
8:31
Speaker 1: to you by Chad Jones Law.
8:34
Speaker 4: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt, and so
8:37
Speaker 4: do injuries from car rex. But you didn't sign up
8:40
Speaker 4: to be in a car wreck with someone who wasn't
8:41
Speaker 4: paying attention. It was their fault and now you're left
8:44
Speaker 4: to deal with the consequences. You need to see a
8:46
Speaker 4: doctor and you're missing work. Chad Jones Law can help.

9:36
Speaker 6: you know, growing up in Elkohoon and watching it develop
9:39
Speaker 6: and change so much in watching Alcohol's Feedway, Sedley go Away.
9:45
Speaker 6: Just the reality or thought of NASCAR in a traditional
9:48
Speaker 6: sense on an oval in San Diego, it just never
9:51
Speaker 6: seemed possible. And when Chicago came on the schedule, I
9:56
Speaker 6: was like, I wonder what other cities might be able
9:59
Speaker 6: to host most NASCAR event, And not long after I
10:03
Speaker 6: learned that there was some interest in and around San Diego.
10:05

15:18
Speaker 1: for you Monday. We'll be back with a fresh, new show.
15:23
Speaker 1: And in fact, we're running out of shows for twenty
15:27
Speaker 1: twenty five. You need to tell all, well, you need
15:32
Speaker 1: to tell your friend that we're running out of shows

Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. A week from today will be
15:40
Speaker 1: our final twenty twenty five show. We will be back
15:45
Speaker 1: next year, at least that's the plan as of today. Okay, Monday,
15:54
Speaker 1: coach Elko visited with reporters and answered some questions. We
15:59
Speaker 1: carried that live as we have throughout the season on
16:03
Speaker 1: the Zone. We played part of what he had to
16:07
Speaker 1: say on Monday. Let's listen in to some other things.
16:13
Speaker 11: Mike's talked about Miami's offense, you know, but on defense,
16:16
Speaker 11: and you've talked about how many NFL guys are on
16:19
Speaker 11: this roster. Just kind of challenges does that defense present
16:22
Speaker 11: and does it remind you Is it similar to maybe
16:25
Speaker 11: an opponent you've already played.
16:27
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, I try not to draw a lot of similarities.
16:30
Speaker 12: I think it's the best combination of defensive ends that
16:33
Speaker 12: we've seen, you know, in my time here, probably going
16:36
Speaker 12: all the way back to twenty eighteen. These two kids
16:39
Speaker 12: can absolutely destroy a game, and they're really really talented,
16:42
Speaker 12: and then they've got a lot of really big, long,
16:45
Speaker 12: athletic inside bodies. I think they've only given up seventy
16:49
Speaker 12: nine runs of four yards or more in twelve games.
16:52
Speaker 12: So that's unbelievably impressive in terms of how they're controlling
16:55
Speaker 12: the line of scrimmage. And then there's just a lot
16:58
Speaker 12: of length and athleticism in the back two levels of
17:01
Speaker 12: the defense. And so they're really really talented. I don't
17:04
Speaker 12: think they've given up twenty points and over about a
17:06
Speaker 12: month and a half, and so yeah, it'll be a
17:09
Speaker 12: big challenge for our offense.
17:11
Speaker 13: Question from Donna in the bag, Coach, you touch on
17:13
Speaker 13: a little bit earlier with their energy at practice today
17:16
Speaker 13: and being able to kind of turn the page. How
17:19
Speaker 13: pleased are you with their response after facing a little
17:21
Speaker 13: bit of adversity knowing what they have ahead.
17:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what we're trained for.
17:25
Speaker 12: You know, it's obviously every time it happens, you're excited
17:28
Speaker 12: that it happens, but certainly expected to.
17:30
Speaker 3: I think and I've said this before.
17:33
Speaker 12: I think the natural reaction to things is usually a
17:36
Speaker 12: little bit different than what everybody anticipates them being. You know,
17:40
Speaker 12: I think the natural reaction to not getting done what
17:43
Speaker 12: you want to get done is usually kind of a
17:46
Speaker 12: new energy and new intensity, a new focus to improve
17:51
Speaker 12: and get better. And that's just usually how it works
17:53
Speaker 12: in this sport. And so happy to see that from
17:56
Speaker 12: our guys, but certainly anticipated that would.
17:58
Speaker 3: Be the case.
17:59
Speaker 14: Left side middle to Mattias and then Matthew, then Aiden,
18:03
Speaker 14: what have you seen from Malachai Tony?
18:05
Speaker 15: And then from a kind of schematic perspective, what kind
18:07
Speaker 15: of difficulties does a guy who they move around the
18:09
Speaker 15: formation kind of present you?
18:11
Speaker 12: Yeah, what an unbelievably talented football player. They move him
18:15
Speaker 12: all around, They're very creative, and how to get him
18:17
Speaker 12: the football. He's electric when he gets in his hands.
18:21
Speaker 12: For a young kid, he runs routes exceptionally well, he
18:25
Speaker 12: makes contested catches and so yeah, he's an absolute dude
18:30
Speaker 12: of a young player and certainly will grow into be,
18:33
Speaker 12: you know, a top five pick, I'm sure before this
18:35
Speaker 12: thing's all over.
18:36
Speaker 3: And so.
18:38
Speaker 12: You know, and then when you don't, you can't identify
18:40
Speaker 12: where he's.
18:41
Speaker 3: Going to be all the time.
18:42
Speaker 12: Obviously, that makes it that makes it a lot more
18:44
Speaker 12: challenging for a defense to find ways to leverage him
18:47
Speaker 12: and corral him and so certainly have our hands full
18:50
Speaker 12: with him.
18:51
Speaker 3: Matthew from the Delfory News.
18:52
Speaker 15: You talked about this being the first step for this
18:55
Speaker 15: team and talk about this season about creating the mindset
18:58
Speaker 15: with the players that they have ability to make game
19:01
Speaker 15: winning plays. What is it like talking to them now
19:04
Speaker 15: that they have the ability to win games in the
19:06
Speaker 15: college football playoff?
19:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's all the same.
19:09
Speaker 12: I think the magnitude is larger, the process is the same,
19:14
Speaker 12: and so you know, what it takes from a mentality standpoint,
19:17
Speaker 12: is us executing championship level football at the rate we
19:21
Speaker 12: need to to be successful. That's regardless of who, when,
19:24
Speaker 12: how you play the game of football. Obviously, the challenge
19:28
Speaker 12: is the opponent makes it a lot more challenging, The
19:31
Speaker 12: magnitude of the game makes it a lot more challenging.
19:33
Speaker 12: The finality of it all makes it a lot more challenging.
19:36
Speaker 12: And so it's controlling all of that and still focusing
19:39
Speaker 12: on the things that ultimately will matter when it comes
19:41
Speaker 12: to me and successful. And so again, we've been in
19:45
Speaker 12: this stage quite a few times since I've been here.
19:47
Speaker 12: We've had our successes, we've had our failures. It's excited
19:50
Speaker 12: to get out there and get another opportunity to play
19:52
Speaker 12: a big football game.
19:54
Speaker 3: Aside to aid and from student radio.
19:56
Speaker 14: So one of the major concerns what this past game
19:59
Speaker 14: was special teams. The field goal percentage for this season
20:03
Speaker 14: was lowest since twenty twelve. What is that conversation going
20:06
Speaker 14: to look like for y'all on deciding kicking duties for
20:09
Speaker 14: this next game going into the playoffs.
20:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we'll make that decision when the time
20:14
Speaker 3: is right, you know.
20:16
Speaker 12: I think trying to do the best we can to
20:18
Speaker 12: get both of those guys into a place where they're
20:21
Speaker 12: capable of performing at the level they're capable of performing
20:24
Speaker 12: ahead and there certainly both of them want to go
20:27
Speaker 12: out there and be very, very successful, and so we'll
20:30
Speaker 12: kind of see what that looks like here through the
20:31
Speaker 12: next couple of weeks.
20:33
Speaker 3: Have I missed any questions. Let's go back to go
20:36
Speaker 3: Cease on the left side from the Eagle.
20:37
Speaker 16: You mentioned a coach, you've got to play four good games,
20:41
Speaker 16: not tight so to speak. When you look back at
20:43
Speaker 16: the Texas game, did you think some of the players
20:45
Speaker 16: played tight or is that just a product when your
20:47
Speaker 16: rober game is maybe a little bit different than any
20:50
Speaker 16: other game.
20:51
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's Yeah, I think it's just a
20:52
Speaker 12: product of playing good football teams.
20:55
Speaker 17: You know.
20:56
Speaker 12: I think at the end of the day, they made
20:59
Speaker 12: more plays than we in the second half, and you know,
21:01
Speaker 12: there's a lot of reasons for that from our end,
21:04
Speaker 12: But at the end of the day, that's going to
21:06
Speaker 12: happen at times when you play in this league and
21:08
Speaker 12: you play night games on the road in this league.
21:11
Speaker 3: It's just part of it. And so.
21:15
Speaker 12: You know, it sucks the magnitude of it. It sucks
21:17
Speaker 12: that it happened against those guys, But I think sometimes
21:21
Speaker 12: you just have to understand that it's going to happen
21:24
Speaker 12: a little bit in this conference.
21:26
Speaker 3: Just wrap it up with Alex Legal.
21:28
Speaker 18: We've talked about move and calendar dates and whatnot, But
21:31
Speaker 18: if this was a year ago, the transfer portal would
21:33
Speaker 18: have opened tomorrow. Now it's not going to be open
21:36
Speaker 18: until what the first week of January. Just I'm curious
21:38
Speaker 18: now that it's here, how what your perspective is on
21:41
Speaker 18: how that kind of unfolds as you guys are preparing
21:44
Speaker 18: for a playoff game.
21:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like what we're in is the best
21:47
Speaker 3: we can get. I really do.
21:49
Speaker 12: I feel like the windows that we have, the way
21:51
Speaker 12: they're set up right now, it's the best we can get.
21:55
Speaker 12: Everybody will continue to point out all of the fallacies
21:59
Speaker 12: within the system, but there's not really a solution. Again,
22:03
Speaker 12: I've said this on multiple occasions, but when you talk
22:06
Speaker 12: about what we're actually trying to balance, which is a
22:09
Speaker 12: TV contract that mandates games be played at a certain time,
22:14
Speaker 12: in conjunction with academic calendars, in conjunction with two different
22:18
Speaker 12: types of recruiting right high school and transfers, to try
22:21
Speaker 12: to find a window to make all of that work
22:25
Speaker 12: is not ideal. And again, I don't know how well
22:31
Speaker 12: we actually study sometimes the reality of the world that
22:35
Speaker 12: we're actually living in. And so, you know, for years
22:38
Speaker 12: there have been coaching changes going on in the NFL
22:41
Speaker 12: while the playoffs were going on. The beauty of it
22:44
Speaker 12: is is it hasn't happened within the teams that are
22:47
Speaker 12: currently playing, right that's just a different structure that we have.
22:54
Speaker 12: You can't change free agency windows in college football because
22:58
Speaker 12: you have semesters and when their start is critical, and
23:01
Speaker 12: so I just think we're binded by a lot of
23:05
Speaker 12: things that we can't fix and can't control, and so
23:08
Speaker 12: from my perspective.
23:09
Speaker 3: I think this is about as good as we could ask.
23:11
Speaker 16: For advantage to the home team or.
23:15
Speaker 12: Nah, not really, I think playing in Kyle Field is
23:17
Speaker 12: an advantage to the home team. I'm excited for that.
23:21
Speaker 12: I'm excited to see our students turn out. I'm excited
23:23
Speaker 12: to see our fans turn out. It'll be really cool
23:25
Speaker 12: to see that number post on the screen with how
23:27
Speaker 12: many people showed up for an eleven am kick, because
23:29
Speaker 12: I still think that's what makes college football unique here
23:32
Speaker 12: at Texas A and M, and so I think that
23:35
Speaker 12: more than anything.
23:37
Speaker 1: It's Mike Elco. I noticed today that there will be
23:42
Speaker 1: no public sale tickets. Everything is sold out between season
23:46
Speaker 1: ticket renewals. What they have to give the visiting team
23:51
Speaker 1: and student pull the requisite one hundred and five thousand
23:57
Speaker 1: plus will be on hand a week from Saturday. They
24:00
Speaker 1: released the TV eyeballs who were watching college football very interesting,
24:10
Speaker 1: seventy games four million or more. That's up from a
24:16
Speaker 1: year ago fifty nine games five million or more. And
24:23
Speaker 1: thirteen times ten million are more. The most watched games
24:28
Speaker 1: so far. Ohio State Michigan by one hundred thousand over Indiana,
24:37
Speaker 1: Ohio State in the championship last Saturday night. Georgia Alabama
24:44
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship through almost seventeen million, that was third.
24:51
Speaker 1: The first game, Texas Ohio State through sixteen and a
24:54
Speaker 1: half million was fourth. A and M Texas on that
24:58
Speaker 1: Friday night and we already knew this drew over thirteen million.
25:03
Speaker 1: That was the fifth most watched game. Unfortunately, that means
25:09
Speaker 1: that game is staying on Friday night for the time being.
25:13
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's what that means. It was the
25:17
Speaker 1: fifth most watched game. When you look at besides Fox
25:25
Speaker 1: leading the first two Ohio State, Michigan and the Big
25:28
Speaker 1: Ten Championship, and then they were number four on Texas
25:31
Speaker 1: and Ohio State. I mean, ABC and ESPN just dominate
25:43
Speaker 1: up to the top fifty dominate, and when you look
25:47
Speaker 1: at teams that dominate, no surprise, Georgia's on the list.
25:55
Speaker 1: Alabama is on the list. I think Texas had five games.
26:05
Speaker 1: A and M had four games. Beside the A and
26:10
Speaker 1: M Texas game, the second most watched A and M
26:15
Speaker 1: game was A and M LSU that was a Saturday
26:18
Speaker 1: night game on ABC. The A and M Notre Dame
26:23
Speaker 1: game on NBC was the thirty fourth most watched game
26:31
Speaker 1: with over six million. The A and M Missouri game
26:36
Speaker 1: on ABC. That was an afternoon game.
26:39
Speaker 11: I think, wasn't it.
26:43
Speaker 1: Four point eight million? Okay? But NBC, which you know
26:52
Speaker 1: is the network of record for Notre Dame, it didn't
26:56
Speaker 1: do so good. And you know, Notre Dame jumping up
27:01
Speaker 1: and down and acting like they still bring lots of
27:04
Speaker 1: eyeballs to the sets. The numbers prove otherwise. The numbers
27:10
Speaker 1: prove still it's the big ten in the SEC that
27:14
Speaker 1: bring eyeballs to the sets. Let's see, I saw the
27:22
Speaker 1: Big twelve championship game here somewhere was sixteenth overall nine
27:31
Speaker 1: million viewers, which is really good considering it was an
27:36
Speaker 1: eleven am kickoff. But nine million was the most watched
27:42
Speaker 1: Big twelve game. And that was the championship game. And
27:45
Speaker 1: that was on ABC. And ABC is going to and
27:50
Speaker 1: Fox and CBS and NBC generally speaking, are going to
27:55
Speaker 1: dominate over cable. The most watched e SPN game TCU
28:05
Speaker 1: North Carolina was thirty six on the list. Remember that
28:09
Speaker 1: was a Monday night Labor Day game Bill Belichick's debut,
28:16
Speaker 1: and that was a blowout. But that was the most
28:20
Speaker 1: watched game on ESPN at number thirty six with just
28:24
Speaker 1: over six million viewers. So if you know all the programs,
28:33
Speaker 1: you want your team on networks. Everybody's excited about ESPN
28:39
Speaker 1: night games. But the bottom line is ABC night games
28:43
Speaker 1: are what you want in the SEC. But the SEC
28:51
Speaker 1: just and it should be no surprise, they just dominated
28:55
Speaker 1: these numbers all the way down to fifty. Like I said,
29:00
Speaker 1: a and in Missouri is fifty. The egg Bowl that
29:04
Speaker 1: was an eleven AM game that was forty ninth on
29:06
Speaker 1: the list. So not so much, all right, I'll give
29:12
Speaker 1: you an idea of how many people are watching and
29:14
Speaker 1: what they are watching in college football. But CBS's give
29:22
Speaker 1: up of the SEC not too smart. We already knew that.
29:28
Speaker 1: Not too smart. Sevcheck Service Center open right now until
29:32

Speaker 1: Having Kanty and Michelle are unsportsmanlife.
31:25
Speaker 20: When the Eagles offense looks wrong is when they're right.
31:29
Speaker 20: Every complaint was correct based on the way the offense looked,
31:33
Speaker 20: but that's how they win.
31:35
Speaker 1: When they looked wrong, they were right.
31:37
Speaker 20: Now, when they're trying to look right, they go wrong.
31:41
Speaker 20: Every time the offense looks bad previously is when they
31:44
Speaker 20: have actually won games.
31:46
Speaker 3: Unsportsmanlike.
31:47
Speaker 7: Listen in weekday mornings from Flying to Adam is Zone
31:50
Speaker 7: eleven fifty AM and ninety three point seven FM.
32:02
Speaker 21: You Hilario sponsor I for wanting to visit with the
32:05
Speaker 21: head girls basketball coach for the Madisonville Mustangs, Lenick Neely,
32:08
Speaker 21: thank you for joining us.
32:09
Speaker 1: How are you doing today?
32:11
Speaker 22: I'm doing good.
32:13
Speaker 21: You've you and your team have struggled a bit so
32:15
Speaker 21: far this season. What are some areas you think your
32:17
Speaker 21: team is struggling with the most?
32:20
Speaker 22: Right now, we're struggling with side a lot. We don't
32:23
Speaker 22: have a lot of you know, tall people, and we're
32:25
Speaker 22: definitely struggling a struggling the area rebounding and rebounding and communication.
32:31
Speaker 22: A lot of times they want to talk outside basketball,
32:33
Speaker 22: but then when it comes to the court, were kind
32:34
Speaker 22: of quiet, you know. So we're struggling in that area
32:38
Speaker 22: and I think it coulda get way better on rebounding
32:42
Speaker 22: and defense. The defensive areas where I'm where I'm worried at.
32:46
Speaker 21: Yeah, what are some areas that you think your team
32:49
Speaker 21: is doing well despite the challenges you face so far?
32:53
Speaker 22: I think that we've overcome so much adversity because you know,
32:58
Speaker 22: I lost my leading scorer who was averaging like eighteen
33:01
Speaker 22: points a game. She tore her ato and so it
33:05
Speaker 22: I had somebody else to have to step up. So
33:07
Speaker 22: and I think that overall, you know, they work really hard,
33:10
Speaker 22: and they go hard and they always finish the game.
33:13
Speaker 22: And I have a couple of good leaders on my team.
33:16
Speaker 22: Two of my returners two and my point guard has
33:19
Speaker 22: been doing really really well. And I think we've done
33:21
Speaker 22: well with shooting, but I know that shots on everything.
33:27
Speaker 22: To me, I just feel like defense and rebounds is
33:29
Speaker 22: more important. But overall, I think they were playing well
33:31
Speaker 22: as a team. We're just getting better every day and
33:34
Speaker 22: they work really hard, So I.
33:36
Speaker 1: Can't You can't beat that.
33:37
Speaker 21: Yeah, absolutely, And you talked a little bit about, you know,
33:41
Speaker 21: players that have stepped up, who graduated last season that
33:45
Speaker 21: left the big shoes to fill and who's stepped up
33:47
Speaker 21: the season to fill those shoes. Is there anyone that
33:48
Speaker 21: you'd like to call out, anyone that's been doing really
33:50
Speaker 21: well or surprised you even?
33:53
Speaker 23: Yes?
33:54
Speaker 22: Actually my number one, her name is Keeley Green, and
33:57
Speaker 22: she's about five to one. But home shooting has and
34:00
Speaker 22: fabulous this year. Uh she really she's really been shooting
34:04
Speaker 22: well from the behind the arc, the three pinner. She
34:06
Speaker 22: at least makes at least like two two threes of games,
34:09
Speaker 22: and she's really stepped up bothally and she pushes them.
34:13
Speaker 22: And I also have a return of that. Also our
34:15
Speaker 22: defensive starter, which is our beous defensive player who is
34:18
Speaker 22: Her name is Martin Major, and she's a she's a
34:21
Speaker 22: junior this year and so, and she really gets us
34:23
Speaker 22: started on defense. She gets us a bunch of steels,
34:26
Speaker 22: she works hard, she gets us a bunch of offensive
34:28
Speaker 22: rebounds when we do get them. She's the one who
34:30
Speaker 22: usually works works hard for a little game. And also
34:34
Speaker 22: I have another one, my senior, Kei Maya Done, which
34:37
Speaker 22: is also another shooter. She's been doing well. She's been
34:40
Speaker 22: doing more than just shooting. She's dropping to the basket,
34:43
Speaker 22: she's making plays high IQ. So I got a couple
34:46
Speaker 22: of good a couple of great players on my team.
34:49
Speaker 22: And I'm very thankful to have more than too, you know,
34:51
Speaker 22: more than one, more than one or two.
34:53
Speaker 21: So yeah, absolutely, you talked about, you know, some of
34:57
Speaker 21: the main seniors. How many seniors do you have when
34:59
Speaker 21: you team this year? Who's leaving the season that's going
35:02
Speaker 21: to be difficult to replace?
35:04
Speaker 22: Oh my god, I have I have a big three.
35:07
Speaker 22: So and the girl toy THEO, she'll be back. Her
35:10
Speaker 22: name is Quenega Saper and she'll be She supposed to
35:12
Speaker 22: coming back in January. And I have the other two,
35:15
Speaker 22: which is number one Killey Green, and then number two,
35:18
Speaker 22: I mean then number four Keimyya Done, who's who's going
35:21
Speaker 22: to be graduating. And they've been playing together since they
35:24
Speaker 22: were little and so I always called him the Big
35:27
Speaker 22: three three and so they have been really good, and
35:31
Speaker 22: they all were freshman on varsity and so they know
35:34
Speaker 22: what to expect, and they very experienced and they bring
35:37
Speaker 22: a lot to the game. So replacing them is going
35:39
Speaker 22: to be big, esperentially when you're losing your point guard
35:41
Speaker 22: and she's a quarterback.
35:42
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, yeah.
35:45
Speaker 21: If you had to choose, which opponent do you think
35:47
Speaker 21: is given your team the hardest time this season? And
35:49
Speaker 21: where do you think they challenged you the most?
35:53
Speaker 22: The art well we had we went to a tournament
35:57
Speaker 22: in Dallas with all five and six ads, So I
36:01
Speaker 22: think that was a real circle for it, because you know,
36:03
Speaker 22: in five days they have a lot of hyps. So
36:06
Speaker 22: we played a six three girl, and man, that was
36:09
Speaker 22: a challenge. It was hard to stop her because she
36:11
Speaker 22: was kind of like a you know, like a KD
36:13
Speaker 22: someone is tall, pull up and three for the jumper
36:16
Speaker 22: and everything. She had all had an all around game
36:18
Speaker 22: so she was really hard to stop. So I think
36:19
Speaker 22: our team that we played in Dallas and that name
36:22
Speaker 22: was Friendship and she's actually a technic tick committed and man,
36:25
Speaker 22: yes he was very hard to stop, but she was
36:27
Speaker 22: a great player.
36:28
Speaker 21: Yeah, you faced rock Wall in your last game. What
36:32
Speaker 21: do you think went well and where do you think
36:34
Speaker 21: your team was challenged?
36:37
Speaker 22: We went well? Is that I think that we started running,
36:40
Speaker 22: we started executing our offense and law, and that's another
36:44
Speaker 22: one of our circles to is executing our offense when
36:46
Speaker 22: the person was on. And I think that we gave
36:48
Speaker 22: them a lot of pressures. But it's hard for us
36:51
Speaker 22: to stop, you know, a girl to attacking. It's hard
36:55
Speaker 22: for us to slide over right now, and that's what
36:57
Speaker 22: we're struggling with. And they had a girl that was
36:59
Speaker 22: going to the high post and attacking every single time,
37:02
Speaker 22: and even when we tried to crash, we were still favel.
37:04
Speaker 22: Then you just need to learn do better with moving
37:06
Speaker 22: our feet and you know, fundamentally, we need to do
37:09
Speaker 22: better and just going straight up because a lot of
37:10
Speaker 22: times they tried to be shot blockers and he was
37:12
Speaker 22: killing us because we kept failing. So, yeah, we gotta
37:16
Speaker 22: play smart.
37:17
Speaker 1: I got you.
37:18
Speaker 21: You faced Lorena next, that'll be today.
37:22
Speaker 3: What are you expecting playing them already?
37:24
Speaker 1: Oh you did? Oh well, how did that go?
37:27
Speaker 22: We ended up losing by I think it was thirteen.
37:29
Speaker 22: I think that I think they were very beatable. I
37:32
Speaker 22: think that we came out very, very slow, and we
37:35
Speaker 22: had a we think that versity yesterday and we're trying
37:37
Speaker 22: to overcome it today with to probably come out later on.
37:40
Speaker 22: But yeah, I'm not going to say that. It's kind
37:42
Speaker 22: of bad. I'm not gonna say what really what happened,
37:44
Speaker 22: But yeah, so we had to talk face adversity this
37:46
Speaker 22: morning and I had to start of I had to
37:48
Speaker 22: start up with the new lineup, and we started off
37:50
Speaker 22: really slow and we got down ten. Oh and then
37:52
Speaker 22: I saw the time out, of course, and I think
37:55
Speaker 22: I thought was bad, and you know, you did yourself
37:57
Speaker 22: in the whole. It's kind of hard to come out
37:58
Speaker 22: and never really we're a good team and they were
38:00
Speaker 22: some great shooters and we didn't really get started playing
38:03
Speaker 22: until the second half, and you know, it's hard to
38:05
Speaker 22: come back in the second half. But yeah, I hopefully
38:08
Speaker 22: we get to see him again. I'm gonna say that
38:10
Speaker 22: because I just feel like that. That wasn't a game
38:12
Speaker 22: and we had to get used to a new lineup,
38:14
Speaker 22: and you know, it was our first day with no
38:16
Speaker 22: practice without that lineup. So yeah, I think we would
38:18
Speaker 22: do better if we get to face him again. We
38:20
Speaker 22: might have a tan to so I'm excited about that.
38:23
Speaker 21: Yeah, that'll be interesting. For these last couple of questions,
38:27
Speaker 21: I want to pivot to coaching questions. You played as
38:29
Speaker 21: a forward in college. What experience do you think that
38:31
Speaker 21: time gave you that has helped you and informed your
38:33
Speaker 21: decisions as a coach today.
38:37
Speaker 22: I try to look because me playing as a forward,
38:40
Speaker 22: I was actually kind of like a shorter forward because
38:42
Speaker 22: I'm only five to ten. But I was very athletic.
38:45
Speaker 22: And I look at my team and we have some
38:47
Speaker 22: very athletic girls and they're shorter, and so that's why
38:49
Speaker 22: I tell them to think smarter, not harder. So you
38:52
Speaker 22: have to use your You have to use your basketball
38:54
Speaker 22: too when you know when you're shorter. So with me,
38:57
Speaker 22: I de trided to put them in the best positions
38:59
Speaker 22: for them, you know, and I know the best positions
39:01
Speaker 22: for me, which a lot of times that that was
39:03
Speaker 22: me facing up because I am shorter and you know,
39:06
Speaker 22: not trying to do back to basket things, but actually
39:08
Speaker 22: facing up and trying to take somebody, you know, take
39:10
Speaker 22: somebody off the dribble. So I just try to put
39:12
Speaker 22: them in good positions. And it just taught me a lot.
39:15
Speaker 22: Playing talent basketball, you just get to see a lot
39:18
Speaker 22: of different IQs. You get to see people just like you,
39:21
Speaker 22: and so I tried to I try to tell them, like,
39:23
Speaker 22: you gotta do something different that separates you from those girls,
39:26
Speaker 22: because somebody's going to be just like you or even better,
39:29
Speaker 22: you know what separates you.
39:31
Speaker 21: Yeah, last question for you here, coach, how do you
39:34
Speaker 21: you as a coach to find success both on and
39:36
Speaker 21: off the court besides just wins and losses.
39:41
Speaker 22: It's funny because my mentor, my old coach, he just
39:45
Speaker 22: sexed me the other day and told me that it's
39:47
Speaker 22: not about wins and losses, it's about you know, getting
39:51
Speaker 22: better and you know, and I said, I'm I've been
39:54
Speaker 22: frustrated because we have been struggling this season, but I
39:58
Speaker 22: try to look at the little things and growth. So I,
40:01
Speaker 22: you know, if we didn't, I say, we get out
40:04
Speaker 22: rebound the last game and we come back and we
40:06
Speaker 22: our rebounded team. The second quarter. You know, I'm happy.
40:08
Speaker 22: I always try to look for the little things and
40:11
Speaker 22: it's gonna be a lot of negatives, but you have
40:12
Speaker 22: to point out the positives because I mean, you don't
40:15
Speaker 22: want to have a negative, negative team. So I always
40:17
Speaker 22: try to do the little things. If they're talking, they're switching,
40:20
Speaker 22: if they're rebounding, we're hustling, we're getting back and putting
40:23
Speaker 22: the ball. I just like to see the good things
40:25
Speaker 22: all the time.
40:26
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, absolutely, very well.
40:29
Speaker 21: Put Thank you so much for your time.

47:09
Speaker 32: this point, you know, my last year, and I'm just
47:11
Speaker 32: glad that I was able to you know, uh be
47:13
Speaker 32: able to to put myself in a and the right
47:15
Speaker 32: opportunities and uh put myself in the right position to

Speaker 15: year that that really put you in this position?
47:27
Speaker 24: Uh?
47:27
Speaker 32: I think, honestly, Uh, a off season just just overall
47:32
Speaker 32: off season, you know, I kind of you know, going
47:34
Speaker 32: into you know, like I said, my last year in
47:35
Speaker 32: my college career, you know, I uh I I knew,
47:38
Speaker 32: you know, I had to leave it all out, uh
47:39
Speaker 32: on on the line.
47:40
Speaker 3: You know, because I know would never get opportunity to
47:42
Speaker 3: to play colleg football again.
47:43
Speaker 32: So you know, I was just really very intentional as
47:46
Speaker 32: far as you know, my just uh getting bigger, faster, stronger,
47:49
Speaker 32: you know, perfecting my craft, just just just honestly just
47:52
Speaker 32: doing everything that I could to you know, maximize my
47:55
Speaker 32: my potential, maximize the successful.
47:57

Speaker 1: You know they talk about like a like a Heisman number.
48:02
Speaker 30: If you had a party, know this this year, what would.
48:06
Speaker 3: I think? That's a good question. I think maybe I
48:08
Speaker 3: feel like my Lombardy remember would be the the LSU game.
48:12
Speaker 32: I feel like just going into that game, you know,
48:14
Speaker 32: we just we still as a team, you know, kind
48:16
Speaker 32: of didn't have a lot of respect. You know, people
48:18
Speaker 32: were kind of uh, you know, they're still just just
48:20
Speaker 32: doubting us. And I feel like going into that game,
48:22
Speaker 32: you know, I was just I feel like I was
48:24
Speaker 32: just on kind of a different wave linked and you know,
48:27
Speaker 32: I just was going out there was very intentional and like, well, ultimately, uh,
48:32
Speaker 32: I was just thankful to that I helped put myself
48:34
Speaker 32: or put my team in a position.
48:35
Speaker 3: To to win, not the not the three sacks, bro,
48:38
Speaker 3: And yeah, that was that was a good play too.
48:41
Speaker 3: You know, obviously I never did anything like that.
48:43
Speaker 32: I think that that that's also could be, you know,
48:45
