• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It is the week five preview of the regular season.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: We are at the halfway point, and we have some
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: pretty interesting games lined up on the Gil with Sandler
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Vaughn Sportsbook, which has been awesome. And we've said, like,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I know you've had.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: A few, like, um... you know, statements of, like, what
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the sportsbook is actually for. It's nothing to promote betting
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: And it just kind of gives people kind of a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: fair barometer of, like, how we think, you know, the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: games just kind of match up as.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, again, we do not encourage any gambling of
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: any sort. These are high school games we cover. Do
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: not gamble on these games, please. These are just someone
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: who thinks that Team A is going to beat Team
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: B by 13 points. That's all it is.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: That's really all it is. Yeah, continue on with a
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: lot of conference matchups, so it should be a fun week.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Here we go. It will be.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: First game we'll cover, McClure North at Northwest. Northwest is
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: fared by 14.5 points, the overrunners by 52.5. The Northwest offense,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: they haven't been too flashy, but what's been really impressive
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: is the Lions defense so far this year, averaging, giving
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: up 11 points per game through four games this year.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And Jeremiah Clients has been Probably the guy for them
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: so far. He leads the team in tackles by a
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: mile and tackles for loss. He also has a sack
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: from a recovery and interception so far this year. He
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: is just all over the place for them. And I
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: would trust Cohen Stark. You know, it's not necessarily like
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: he needs to put up 500 yards a game for
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: us to be impressed with him. I mean, with what
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: he's done in the past and even what he's done
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: so far this year, we'll be impressed with him because
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: he's just a great athlete and makes good decisions. Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: It would be nice to see their offense take a
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: bit of a step forward, and I think they will.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I think they win cover, and I'll take the under.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a Northwest team who, yeah, defensively, that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: probably been the best thing that's happened to them.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of a surprise.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Honestly, because I think a lot of people going into
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the season would assume with Stark returning, their offense would
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: be even.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Better than they were a year ago. They still have
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a good offense, but, yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Their defense has really stepped up, which is great because
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: they kind of, it kind of rounds them out more
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: as a team. So, yeah, they're going up against McClure North.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Ramon Brown's a decent quarterback. I mean, his stats aren't complete,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: but his quarterback rating is over 100, and the Stars
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: kind of finally came back down to earth last week,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: finally losing to Oakville at 39-16. Now they're going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: travel all the way to Cedar Hill, make the long
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: trip over there.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So, no, but the way that Northwest is playing. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: think their defense has got to continue the ball out. And, uh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think they'll win and I think they'll cover and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'll take the under. All right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Next up into the GAC North. We go, we got
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: warranted at Holtz. Holtz fared by one and a half points.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: The overruns at 48 and a half, a couple of
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: two and two teams here. You're looking at, um, Jocelyn
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: for position in the GAC North standings, uh, Holtz coming
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: off a nice 49, six winning in St. Charles high
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: over defense. Just didn't give the pirates anything. Um, Holt
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't have their stats in for that game, but Holt's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: kind of had a two QB system so far. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: don't know if that's due to an injury, but both
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Landon Duke and Buddy Jennings have gotten over 300 passing
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: yards so far this year. Landon Duke definitely gets most
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: of the snaps. He's the starter. He has eight pass
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: touchdowns to only one interception. So nothing crazy so far
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: for the Indians offensively, but they got some decent talent there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And then Warrington coming off that tough 17-0 loss to St.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Charles West. The Warrington defense did excellently. They didn't allow
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: any touchdowns because both touchdowns were pick sixes. They really
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: need this one here. They've lost two games that I'm
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: sure they want back. Two games that they could have won,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: but ultimately couldn't get the job done. I'm going to
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: go with Holt to cover and I'll go with you
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: over on this one.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I'll go with Holt to cover, but take the under.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Morganton's defense has been pretty good, and I think they'll
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: limit Holt somewhat. But if Holt's got anything of a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: decent defense, then I think they'll be in decent shape
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: for this one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: All right, next up we've got Summit at Lindbergh. Summit's
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: favored by 3.5 points. The overrun is at 45.5. Lindbergh
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: coming off a huge game. They get their first win
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: of the season against Lafayette in a one-point stunner. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: then Summit... they're two and two so far. They just
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: lost to Eureka where even though Eureka's offense was somewhat consistent, uh,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Summit fought hard the whole game and they kept it
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: close really until the end of the fourth quarter. And, um,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I think this is two teams that have shown flashes. Uh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: but I think this is going to come down to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: physicality up front. I mean, whoever can get off the
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: ball faster and just get a good initial push on
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: these run plays is going to be huge. Um, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: think it should be a fun one to watch. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be a lot of running the ball.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: We'll see. It'll be a combination of whoever can off
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the ball better and whoever can get more yards after
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: contact for the running backs. I think both QBs are okay,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: but these are two teams that need to establish the run.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to go with Summit to cover and win,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and I will go with D over.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Summit does have a four-game winning streak over Lindbergh going
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: back to 2022. Yeah, someone's been kind of hit or
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: miss so far this season. You know, that nice win
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: over Festus to start the year. Then they had that,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of somewhat of an embarrassing loss to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Valley Catholic by losing by 35, but then came back
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and crushed Hazel. It's Central winning 63-0, and then fell
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in a hard-fought game against Lindbergh. I do think the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Falcons will bounce back, and I know.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Lindbergh is coming off of a really much-needed run, victory
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: over Fox, a late one with the last second score
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: to beat them.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, Summit's had their number, and I think Summit
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: might be more.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Physical up front than Lindbergh, and I think probably Summit's
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit more athletic too. So I'll go with
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the Falcons to win this one. I have them covering,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and I will take the under.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Next up, back over to the GSU North, we've got
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Orchard Farm at St. Charles West.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: St.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Charles West is fair by 6.5 points. The overruns are 42.5.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Orchard Farm had that weird loss to Zumwalt East, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: they got back on track and they handled Winfield 48-15.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: They're 3-1.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: St.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Charles West, they're 4-0. We talked last week about how
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: they beat Warrington 17-0 thanks to two pick sixes by
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: defensive back, is it Maddox Sikma? I forgot if it
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: was him or his brother Dawson. I think it was Maddox.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Both Sikma brothers have been pretty good for the Warriors
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: so far this year. offensively, nothing crazy for them. Um,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I think this is, this, this one's going to be
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: interesting because the Orchard Farm offense has been, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: definitely a level higher than the St. Charles West offense.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: The St.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Charles West defense has been a level higher than the
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Orchard Farm defense.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So there'll be, there'll be an interesting dynamic to watch
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: in this one. Um, this kind of is, I mean,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Holt can make some noise. They can, we'll see what
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: they do this week, but this might be the de
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: facto GC North title game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Um, It's been more interesting this year.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Than years past.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm going to go with Orchard Farm to cover
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and win this one, and I'm going to go with
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the over.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So you're going with Orchard Farm. Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're reading my mail. I think they cover and win,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and I will... I'll take the under again. I've kind
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of been hitting that under. But yeah, I think if.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I don't really have much of a reason, but I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: just think, you know, obviously Orchard Farm's a little bit
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: more explosive, but if... Orchard Farm comes to play, disciplined
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: on defense. It seems like they'll probably have a good
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: shot to win this one.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: All right, next up over to the GC South, we've
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: got Zumo West at Troy. Troy, a favorite by 26.5 points.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: The overrun's at 49.5. If Troy stays out of their
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: own way and doesn't get off to a slow start,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: they should be in control the whole time.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: It's just tough because Zumwalt West has– they've made some
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: good plays this year, but they can't string things together.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, they just got handled by Francis Howell. They
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: lost to a pretty weak Zumwalt North team.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: In double– or no, in overtime.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It was in double overtime. And, you know, like, I
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: don't know. It's just– it's been a tough year for Jaguars.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They're just young. They lost a lot of seniors.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they did. I'll go with Troy to cover,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and I'll go with you over here.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I'll go with Troy and also take the over. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: wasn't really impressed with their... They weren't really creative on
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: offense last week, but we know what they did against Eureka,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and I really like what they did against them, so
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: maybe they just weren't... chose not to be that aggressive
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: in their playbook and not reveal a whole lot, I guess.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: But still, their defense has been... Obviously, outside of the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Eureka game, their defense has actually been pretty... Really good, actually.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Since the Eureka game, they've only allowed eight points. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they shut out O'Fallon. Most impressively, they only allowed six
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: points to Hannibal. So I think this Troy team is
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: going to bring it defensively.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I think they cover, but you know what? I'll stay
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: with you over it. I'll stay with that. I think
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Troy will still put up a good amount of points.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: All right, next up into the Southwest Conference, we've got
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: East St. Louis at Edwardsville. East St. Louis is favored
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: by 42.5 points. The overrun is at 60.5. East St. Louis,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: definitely all gas, no brakes for them in their first
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: two conference games. They've been outscoring. They outscored O'Fallon and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Belleville East by a combined 125-6. And Edwardsville, they're also
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: off to a good start in their conference play as well.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: They're 2-0. They have not allowed a single point so
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: far against Belleville East and Granite City. But when it
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: comes down to it, I mean, this has been the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: case for a while in the SWC now, and the
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Flyers are just so much further ahead than anybody else
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: in their conference. I mean, you all know the guys
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: we talk about a lot, Reece Shanklin, Ronnie Gilmiller, Jamarion
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Flowers for the Flyers, just incredible talent up and down
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the field for them. And I think that will continue.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, unless they have a bunch of freak turnovers
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: in the first half, I think East St. Louis wins
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: this one comfortably and covers the spread. So I'll go
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: with them to cover, and I'll go with the under.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can't disagree with most of that. I do think
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that the over will hit, though. That's the only thing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I disagree with you on. Yeah, they really want to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: put up over 60 points.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seriously.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think the Flyers win this one pretty easily.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: All right, next up we've got Ledoux at Parkway North.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Ledoux is fair by 13.5 points. The overruns are 54.5.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: You mentioned it last episode. Ledoux has been pretty good
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: at keeping the turnovers down so far this year. They
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: don't do anything. They don't take a bunch of shots downfield.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: They don't get a bunch of 30-yard completions, but they
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: play efficiently.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They'll take shots. They'll take their shots.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they keep the ball secure. And Parkway North, they've
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: been a solid team, but they have had issues with
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the turnovers. Yeah. So I think that's going to be
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the difference here.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think Ladue's also just a better team anyway.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: These are two athletic teams. I mean, North, they've got
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: some pretty good athleticism. Alex Harvey is probably their best athlete.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Bryce Glaspie is another one. Tyree McKinney, he's done some
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: receiving as well.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: He's a good linebacker.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: They have not been particularly impressive with their run game
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: so far this season, and And, yeah, they've thrown nine.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: They have more interceptions thrown than touchdowns. That's a big
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: problem right there. That's an issue. Yeah, and I don't
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: even know how many fumbles they've had.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, the fact that they've had nine interceptions in
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: four games is not good.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, the two teams.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And so far for North, I mean, the two teams
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they've played who have winning records, Parkway West and Eureka,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, they both lost to them. So, you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: if we're going off of that, then, you know, the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Blues should be in pretty good shape because they're 4-0.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: They have a winning record. The game is at Parkway North,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and it's at 6.30. It's an interesting time. I guess
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it's just a– maybe it's a Parkway thing.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: This is actually North's fourth consecutive home game, believe it
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, so they're playing– they have six home
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: games this season.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: That's lucky.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Right, but I think Ledoux is going to do a
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: pretty good job of limiting North's offense. And I think
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: it's just got to come down to can North limit
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Ledoux's offense? Because Ledoux's averaging, they're coming in averaging 41
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: points a game. And I think they definitely match up
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: better against Parkway North compared to.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Fox at least.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Because North is not going to, they're not going to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: have the ball for like five or six minutes of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: sustained drives. So I like Ledoux's chances. I think they
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: have a much better matchup this week. Yeah, their offense
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: has been pretty solid. And their defense is really settling in.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: So I have Ledoux.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Covering and um let's see here um i guess i
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: will say i'll take the under in this.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: One too i'll go with parkway north to cover but
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: i do think ladue still wins yeah next up we
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: got saint mary's at hayden catholic saint mary's here by
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: 19 and a half points the over is at 45
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and a half hayden catholic their team out of topeka
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: kansas they're oh and three so far.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: In the season and Really random game.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seriously.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: St.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Mary's does play these out-of-area teams sometimes.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: It's kind of a private school problem where sometimes not
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: everybody wants to play you, and so you've just got
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to find teams who also have an open game, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you'll kind of look everywhere in the Midwest, essentially.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, St.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Mary's is looking for their first wire-to-wire dominant win of
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the season, which I think they should get here. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: still think Kingston Miles is going to be out. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: think he'll come back around week seven or eight.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: He'll be, he'll be, all I know for sure is
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that he should be, he'll be back.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they don't have their stats in for last game, but,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm assuming Ja'Cory battles are going to have
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: a bounce back game.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll go with the Dragons to cover. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: think they win pretty easily, and I will go with
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: the over. I.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I agree. I think, yeah, I mean, I got, definitely
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: got St.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Mary's covering in this one, and I'll take the over
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe, I don't, Hayden Catholic scores, gets a few points.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I think St. Mary's is offense. We'll see. I certainly
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: have a bounce back game.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: All right. Next up, we got a Rockwood matchup here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: We got Lafayette at Marquette. Lafayette fair by five and
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a half points. The overruns at 52 and a half.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Lafayette lost a tough one to Lindbergh last week. And Marquette,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: they took advantage of some Kirkwood turnovers in the beginning
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: of the game, but ultimately kind of got outran against
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the pioneers and lost last week as well. Um, This
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: is going to be an interesting afterwards narrative because whoever
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: gets this win, it'll be a much-needed win, and whoever
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: loses is going to be in for a tough one
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: because Lafayette, they've got Summit, which is not a guarantee.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Summit's a decent team. And then Marquette after this, they've
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: got Eureka. So this is a must-win game for both
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: these teams, I would say, just to keep the momentum
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: high going into the rest of the season. And with Marquette, again,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: keep the turnovers down. Colton Richards, he's been a pretty
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: good QB so far this year. But just getting probably
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: a little too overconfident with some of his reads and
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: maybe trying to force some stuff downfield. Not the most
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: efficient completion percentage, but they've got decent athletes out there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: And then with Lafayette, it seems like, I don't know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I thought they were in good shape after even after
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the patentville game that was a tough loss i thought
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: they were showing signs of improvement but um this lindbergh
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: game was unexpected result for me yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is the first time in a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: while like lindbergh lost.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: A game where they really should have won lafayette yeah
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: lindbergh lafayette sorry yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: My bad yeah i'll go with um i'll go with
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: you know what I'll go with Marquette. This one should
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: be close. I know.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I got Marquette covering.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I'll go with Marquette to just do it different from you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I'll pick Lafayette to cover.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And I'll go with the over. I'll go with the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: over as well. Jermon Abbott for Marquette. I really like
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: him as a running back. He's a short, little, shifty guy.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: He had some nice moments against Kirkwood just because we
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: have video of it, so that's why I got to
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: see him.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I think Marquette, they're just going to get a little
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: bit better after each game. I know they lost to.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They were 2-1 and they lost to Kirkwood, but I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: feel like they're just getting a little bit better after
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: each game. This is big for both teams right here.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: It's a big turning point. They're both 2-2. Their seasons
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: can both drastically go different ways after this game right here.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: It's a big one. It's a rivalry game too. They
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: play for a trophy. It'll be a fun one in
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Clarkson Valley.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: On Friday night.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: All right, next up, we've got the North Jeffco-Fox ballistic rivalry.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: We've got Fox at Suckman. Suckman's hit by 3.5 points.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: The overrunner's at 46.5. I don't know what the status
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: of Brody Cube is for Suckman. I don't know if
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: he's still going to be out for this game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: And Fox, they played LeDoux okay last week.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: It's a unique matchup, though.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a unique matchup, and....
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, they did not do a whole lot against Northwest,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for instance, in Week 2.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, with two teams that are going to be
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: so run-heavy, I mean, we might see a combined 10
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: passing attempts this game if we're lucky.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I think Seckman's going to do a little bit more
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: than throw. I mean, they're going to do– they'll throw
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: it a little bit more than that. But, yeah, I
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: don't think Fox is going to throw a whole lot.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you can almost guarantee they're going
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to throw less than five passes.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I think, especially in the first half, this is going
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: to be a huge field position battle. So it's not
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: even necessarily, you know– Converting a bunch of third downs,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: it's going to be, can you get more first downs
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: than your opponent? If Sackman receives, they get, let's say,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: four first downs, and their drive sputters out around midfield
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: and they punt, get Fox down on their 10-yard line,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and then only let Fox get one first down, that's
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: pretty big. So that's what I think it's going to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: come down to. I think this will be a low-scoring,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: gritty game. I think Fox is going to cover and win.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: And I'll go with the under.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: That's a big statement because Fox has not beaten Seckman
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: since 2020. Yeah. Been a long time. Fox had like
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a 16-game winning streak before that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: They did. Fox had won 14 in a row, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: then Seckman has won the previous five. Yeah. So, yeah.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: It'll be– I think this could be a really close
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: game then. So, well– You're the one who decided to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: sleep on Sekhman.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not sleeping on Sekhman. I just don't know if
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: our QB is going to be in or not. That's
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: the main thing.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, all the kids care about it. It's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: like it doesn't matter. As long as– if you pick
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: against them, you're sleeping on them. That's the definition of it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Which isn't– I think it's a poor definition, but that's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: how they define it. So I do have Seckman covering.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I'll take the under. And I think the winning streak
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: goes on.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You said Seckman in the under? Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one should be a low-scoring game. Next up,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: we've got Festus at Hillsboro, another Jeffco rivalry. Festus feed
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: by 4.5 points, the over-under at 50.5. Hillsboro's off to
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: a nice start. They just beat North County this past week,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and they're 4-0. I mean, they've yet to really have
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: a really close game. I mean, they've handled Ken at
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Week 1. They handled Hazelwood East Week 2. They handled
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Holt Week 3.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: They're quietly off to a really, really good start. Eden
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Fleming at QBs and pretty good for them. Six touchdowns,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: zero interceptions. And then Preston Ross gets most of the
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: carries for them. And then Festus, they're 2-2. Definitely a
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: tougher schedule for them. They've gotten back on track these
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: past two weeks with some easier games. And, yeah, Parker
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Perry has been pretty good for them, returning QB for
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: the Tigers.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't played in their last two games. Is
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: he hurt still?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he is hurt. This is tough. We've
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: got some QBs that are outside. I don't really know.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: It's tough to pick here. Tough to gauge. I don't
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: know the injury status of these guys. I mean, I
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: hope he's playing. I hope he's healthy, but that's not
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: a guarantee.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Quentin O'Brien's been his backup, and he's done okay.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: He's 6 of 8 for 112 yards.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Because I don't know the status of Perry, I
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: will go with Hillsborough to win here, and I will
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: go with I'll go with the over.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I still think Festus' defense can do enough, and their
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: run game has been all right. It's been actually decent,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: pretty good. So I think Festus squeaks this one out.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I'll take the under, and I have Festus covering.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: All right. Very good. Next week we've got Cardinal Ritter
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: at St. James Performance Academy out of Virginia.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: St.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: James is fair by 19.5 points. The overrun is at 64.5.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Cardinal Ritter would get another out-of-area big game here. Max
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Prep speaks pretty highly of St. James. Top 100 in
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: the country, I believe, is what they have him at.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: St. James has played several teams across the Northeast in
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: their 3-0 by a lot. I think they've won their
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: games by an average of like 60 points. Yeah, they
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: just beat Mount Zion Prep Academy 65-0. Mount Zion is
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: a team out of Maryland. uh, St. James defeated Paramus
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Catholic 54-14, and Paramus is the, a top 20 team
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. And then in week one, St. James
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: defeated Lehigh, um, 66-0. Lehigh is a top 20 team
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: in Utah. So this St. James team is, um, they
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: are very good. They will play anybody and everybody, and
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: they are a very high-flying offense. And we saw Carter
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Ritter really hang with him, um, Without Ryland Moore last
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: week against Millard South. But this is going to be
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: a tough one. And I think Ritter, I mean, they're
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: a really good team. They're one of the fastest teams
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: in the Midwest, especially with Ryan McDavis on the outside.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: When you get him in space, it's game over. He's
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: probably going to score. But it seems like St. James
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: is just almost bulletproof up and down. So I'm going
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: to go with– I think Ritter covers. I think it
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: will be probably a 14, 15-point game.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Every game has been close that they've been in.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Um, so I'll go with rid of the curve, but
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I still think St. James wins and I will go
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: with the over.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, this is not a ton to go off.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It looks like St.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: James had a buy, um, week four, like the September
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: 11th week. Um, I, I would say that, I mean,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: they're on the road, so that's gotta be, you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: it's like a, I'm assuming they're flying cause it's in, um.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, they have to.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: That would be like a, I've got a 13-hour drive.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: That would be rough.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: In Springfield, Virginia. I don't know where that is in Virginia.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: But if it's on the east coast, if it's on
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the east of Virginia, that's especially a long drive.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But, yeah, I know St. James comes in very
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: highly rated in this one. So I'll take the over.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And I will, because I'm not sure if Ronald Morris
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: could be the quarterback, I'll have St.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: James covering.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Going with the over as well?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: All right, next up, number three game of the week,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: another out-of-area matchup here. We've got CBC at Lipscomb out
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: of Tennessee. Lipscomb is served by seven and a half points.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: The overrun is at 62 and a half. CBC, they
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: had a solid win against Vianney this past week. And
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: then Lipscomb Academy, they're out of the Nashville area. And
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: right now, Max Preps has them as the fifth best
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: team in Nashville, or Tennessee, excuse me. They're a 3-2
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: so far in the year.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You know what? They have a really good win over Ravenwood.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: And they lost to Knoxville Catholic by one point, the
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: same Knoxville Catholic that beat Cardinal Ritter earlier this season.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting little– who would have thought that those
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: two teams that St. Louis teams played played each other.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: That's kind of funny how that works out.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: And then they have an overtime loss to McAuley, who
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: they are in their ninth.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: They're from Chattanooga. They're currently ranked ninth in Tennessee, according
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to Max Preps.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is a pretty solid Lipscomb team.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Very battle-tested.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: But also a very good CBC team. And for CBC,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, we saw them kind of let Vianney kind of,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: not necessarily get back into the game, because the result
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: of the game was never undoubtedly with Vianney, but they
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: let Vianney have some pretty nice drives in the third quarter,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: and I think it As long as CBC just stays
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: honest with their zone coverage and just doesn't blow any assignments,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I think they'll be okay. I think Lipscomb wins, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I think CBC covers. I'm going to go with the over.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: This is a tough one. I mean, CBC has had
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Lipscomb's number these past few years.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I really respect Lipscomb, like the teams they're
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: playing and who they've beaten so far.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I think the sportsbook's on to something right here, too.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So I'll have Lipscomb cover, and I'll take the over.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, CBC, they had a weird game defensively
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: last week against Vianney.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Not that I think it will be repeated, and obviously
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Lipscomb's a completely different opponent than Vianney. So it's definitely
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: something that was eye-popping. But, yeah, Lipscomb team looks really,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Alright, next up, number two game of the week, we've
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: got Lift for Life at SLU. SLU High is favored
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: by 8.5 points, the overrunners at 38.5. That's low. Wow.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: We are told reliably that SLU should have some pretty
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: key players back.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Okay. Which would be big, because SLU's defense has already
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: been doing very good. Lift for Life, they crushed Luton St.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Charles 49-0, which wasn't really that much of a surprise.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: And It looks like, if the stats are correct in
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: S2 Hospital Sports, Live4Life has yet to score a passing
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: touchdown so far this season.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Which I hope is not true. I mean, they've scored
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: a bunch on the ground. I mean, Marquise Elliott, Seven Jackson,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Randy Johnson, Tristan Moss. But passing the ball, I don't
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: know if they're going to, Marquise Elliott was the day
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: one starter, but Brandon Brigham Baden's got a lot of other.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I know you really liked him when you saw him
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: against the Smet.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Brigham Baden's a sophomore. I think Elliott's
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: a junior, or is he a senior?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's a junior. And you are correct. Yeah,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: they've not thrown a touchdown pass so far.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: They could, if they really wanted to, they could have
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: against Lutheran St. Charles, but yeah, I guess against their
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: first three games, yeah, that's kind of alarming.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Marquise Elliott has the better arm, and
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Better accuracy.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: He's really fast.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: But I think he just holds on to the ball
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: for too long in the pocket. And Rigmaid definitely gets
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: rid of the ball on time, but he's just not
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: as accurate as Elliott. So it's, you know, two solid QBs,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: but the tools aren't all the way there yet. So
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: we'll see how the slew high defense kind of– and
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: as long as the slew high defense doesn't allow too
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: many scrambling yards from either of those QBs, I think
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: they should be okay.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to go with SLU high to cover,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to go with– it's a super low total,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: but I'm going to go with the under again because
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I worked last week for SLU. So I'm going to
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: go with SLU high to cover, and I'm going to go.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: With the under.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will– with SLU, I'm feeling good about them
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: in this one. I will take the– I think SLU wins,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: but I do have Live for Life covering.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I think it will be a close game, and I'll
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: take the under. Last year it was 13-12.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these two teams always find a way to make
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: it gritty. All right, next up, on to our number
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: one game of the week. We got a huge rivalry game,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood at Eureka. Kirkwood fared by 6.5, the Ophirons at 55.5.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood 3-0, Eureka 3-1 come into this one. Kirkwood, a
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: bit of a funky start to last week's Marquette game,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: but the rushing attack was absolutely dominant, and I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: they got... think I mentioned they had six guys, they
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: had 40 more rushing yards, which was a pretty rare
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: sight for Kirkwood. It's just cool to see because last
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: year they had a ton of elite athletes they would
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: utilize in the passing game, and it looks like they're
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: kind of shifting their gears to where They're still not
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: afraid to throw the ball, and they'll get plenty of
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: good passing attack, but I guess they are more than
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: happy to do that in running games as well. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: for Eureka, defensively, they've been really good so far this year.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I would more blame their offense and turnovers for the
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Hannibal game of why they allowed those points, because they
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: kind of just gave Hannibal a good field position with
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: those turnovers, and Hannibal had 20 yards to go, and
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: they could score. But Eureka's defense has been really good. So, again,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: if Eureka can just consistently plug those gaps with their
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: interior D-linemen and make running the ball hard for Kirkwood,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: just make them bounce it out every time, I think
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: that's the key to the game here, and it's turnovers.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Two teams that Kirkwood turned over a lot in the
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: first half last week against Marquette, Eureka has gotten better
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: at taking care of the ball, but has turned it
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: over in the past. So that's also what it's going
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: to come down to. I think this should be a
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: super exciting game. I always love when these two teams
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: play each other because this is our first real GSB
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: game day show we did last year in the playoffs.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: That was a ton of fun. Fun game to watch
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: because these two teams always give us a show. Two
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: talented teams. I'm going to go with Kirkwood to cover
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: and win, and I'm going to go with the under.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: This one should be a fun game.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Zach Kim has had a great season
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: for Eureka. I mean, he leads them. He's not only
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: their passer.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's thrown for 791 yards, which is a
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: lot for Eureka through four games. And then he's been
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: their leading rusher, uh, with 259 yards and two touchdowns. So, um,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: he's kind of been carrying, not, not the, not exactly
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: carrying the load, but, uh, he's definitely been their best
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: player overall this season. And, um, but I think for Kirkwood,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: if you can limit him, um, they should be in
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: good shape and, uh, Yeah, their offense is statistically one
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: of the better offenses in the state so far this season.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: You just look at what they're averaging.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're averaging 54 points, which has got to
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: be up there with the best in the state right there.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, they have good receivers. I mean, it
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: would be interesting, like, you know, Joey Goodman has been.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Decent for them so far this season, but, like, if
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: they're without Nick Tucci, that could be, you know, and
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Interesting dynamic. However, their rushing attack has been really great
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: with Chase Griffin, Darion Brown, and Demarcus Tatum all contributing
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: very well. I mean, it's kind of been a three-headed
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: monster for them in the backfield. So if they can
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: keep their rushing game going like that, they're going to
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: be in pretty good shape. It's usually a really good
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: game between these two teams. I have Kirkwood winning and covering,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: and I will take the over.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, that'll do it for our Games of
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: the Week for Week 5. Should be a fun one.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Plenty of St. Louis versus out-of-area matchups. Some good rivalry games.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: We've got a couple huge rivalries in Jeffco and then
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Kirkwood versus Eureka. Some other big conference application games as well.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: A lot on the line this week. A lot on
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: the line and it should be fun. Hopefully it cools
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: down a bit because it's... It will.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It will.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I have been sick of this heat in mid-September and
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: all these games are getting delayed or stopped early because
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: of the heat. And I just hope it stops.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Because I am done. I'm officially done with the heat.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be a high of 76
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: on Monday.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Perfect. That's perfect. Hopefully we can keep that.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to be out of the heat
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: wave for the rest of the year now. So that's
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: good news. I love wearing long sleeves and shorts. I'm
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: kind of a long sleeve weather guy. So I love
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: all that. It's typical fall weather and it's the best.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Hey Siri, play Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: It's the second time you've made a Siri reference in
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the last two weeks, so you're on a.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Roll with that.
