0:49
Evan Fairback with Chris Revard, Chris Batchelder, Craig Tate. We have a
0:54
special guest with us today. Co Penn head football coach Marshall Foreman has paid
1:00
paid to be on the program and some Hornet t shirts, so he came
1:03
on and he's going to be with us in the close. Coach Revard,
1:07
you're gonna have to share your mic with coach. So we're going to go
1:12
over all the ball games for week number nine. Guys. Pretty exciting because
1:17
it's the penultimate regular season week and obviously we're going to have to delve into
1:21
district standings and playoff positionings and stuff like that, which is always a ton
1:26
of fun surveying the teams across the area. Not a ton of bubble teams.
1:30
For the most part, you're kind of in or not, and we're
1:33
really talking more about positioning than we are whether you're in or not. For
1:37
most of the teams in Washington, we're on the bubble. Yeah, we'll
1:42
talk about that, Yeah, Evan said, we have a lot to talk
1:46
about. Yeah. Hey, we're just telling all of our listeners that this
1:51
will be the longest podcast ever that you've heard, So just get settled in,
1:56
get that warm cup of gave us a pre empty Okay. I told
2:00
them before we forman solid before it even started. I told them before he
2:05
started, because we have so much business to get to. We've got we
2:07
gotta keep it zipy. So let's go to our first ball game. Wesley
2:10
and Christian School is going to be on the road at Watts. I led
2:15
with the Mustangs this week because I forgot to put them in last week's show.
2:19
No no, I don't know if you guys noticed that or not,
2:21
but I did not have Western Christian on the sheet. So if there's a
2:23
Mustang fan listening, I apologize. I was not on purpose. Weslen Christian
2:28
Schools at Watts, Mustangs are five and three overall, four and one in
2:31
district play. The Engineers are four and four, three and two overall.
2:36
Wesley and Christian pounded South Coffeehill last week seventy two to nothing. Watts is
2:40
coming off a seventy four to twenty four loss at Copan. Thats a big
2:45
game for Watts playoff hopes. And if you're a Copaine Hornet, like Marshall
2:49
Foreman, he went Westley and Christian to win this one because a Mustang victory
2:53
and a Copan win at Coyle would assure the Hornets the playoffs. I'm gonna
2:57
give them mock to Coach Forman here and let him kind of talk about this.
3:00
He knows it. While you're doing that, I just want to clear
3:02
up a couple of things. Number one, just because I know I can
3:06
see the look of confusion on Coach Revart's face. Pitt ultimate means the next
3:09
to the last. Okay, so this is the next. It's a great
3:14
word, but I know, rev don't you know you got to keep it
3:15
simple for old coach. And secondly, how profitable are we to get color
3:21
printing up in this place. I had email myself that and printed on the
3:25
one printer in right now, do Potter know that he does not? Don't
3:31
don't just get doesn't listen to the show, otherwise he'd be mad about the
3:37
coach. Welcome in first of all, appreciate it. So let's talk about
3:39
why the Watts? Why are they the engineer seven? Do you know?
3:44
I have no idea why the Wats are right, gotta have something to do
3:46
with the railroad right now. It actually comes back from the coal the coal
3:50
mines over okay, back in the one of the original he's trying not to
3:54
laugh. He has no idea. I believe in my body, Client Zinker,
3:59
I don't know anything about that, but I will say they have one
4:01
of the coolest fields to play at. It's up on a little mountain hill
4:06
top of the top of the whole town there. So you've got to come
4:10
through the town and everybody's outside staring at you when you're coming up on the
4:13
bush. That's what you're trying to give me, the stink guy, You
4:15
know, it's no, it's on the Arkansas line. You go out past
4:21
Tahlequalls. So I'll tell you a little backstory. My senior year or sophomore
4:29
year, we played over there on the way up the little mountain. There's
4:33
an old lady, probably ninety years old out front with a big chaw and
4:38
spitting in a spit tune giving us the stink guy. You're kidding me,
4:41
No, So we were that was we knew what kind of day we were
4:45
in for. We did win, but utty, pretty cool scene over there.
4:48
But yeah, so this week with Watts and Wesleyan, I think Wesleyan's
4:54
got too much for him. Watts is big, physical, so but Wesleyan's
4:59
got a lot more spe a lot more skill position players that can can do
5:01
a lot of things. So I'm gonna pick them. I know, Well,
5:04
wats is probably gonna be a little bit uh mad after last week because
5:09
I know they agree, so they might come out with a little bit extra.
5:13
But I still think Wat's is not gonna have enough for wesley And guys.
5:16
Yeah you were saying Watts had a sixty five, two hundred and fifteen
5:19
pound running back. Yeah, big dude, he's he's a man. I
5:23
mean, that's my size six fifteen oh fifteen, yea, yeah, yeah,
5:28
yeah, Wesley's gonna have to get to the ball and gang tack with
5:30
that dude. He's he is tough. But they've got a lot of size,
5:34
a lot of size, just not as much speed. So I think
5:36
they'll give the nod to Wesley into uh. I think they'll they win by
5:40
three or four touchdowns probably, Oh nice? Yeah, okay, well,
5:44
you know, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. That how
5:47
bet I might see. Yeah, I love I think Wesleyan is is really
5:53
dialed in at the right time. They got guys back at the at the
5:56
perfect time for them to kind of hit the switch a little bit. I
6:00
think they're I think they've got the finish line in sight. So yeah,
6:03
I like Wesleyan big here. Speaking of getting back, just imagine whenever they
6:06
do get Seamers back again, because you know, they only get to play
6:11
together one one game, you know, and that was half a game.
6:15
So whenever they get him back there there can be really good guys. I
6:19
mean, it's gonna be pressive, but it's my understanding he will not be
6:21
back this week. Is that correct? Evan doesn't sound like it sounds like
6:26
where I am a hopeful playoff playoff return. Yeah yeah, well I hope
6:30
he gets healed up quick. But I'm taking Western Christian as well. Okay,
6:33
all right, how far is what? It's an hour fifty seven minute,
6:40
two hours? Here comes the bus ride theory. I'm telling you a
6:44
two hour bus ride, and I would assume that Westland doesn't have the coach
6:47
coach buses. They're going to be jammed in one bus probably and going.
6:51
I still give the nod to Western because I do think I agree with coach
6:56
for him and they've got some really good athletes, even with seamers out.
6:59
I haven't seen what play, but I'm going, but I think it's gonna
7:01
be closer. I'm telling you to hour bus trip just to keep kids focused
7:04
on everything and what it does through the body and everything. Our furthest game
7:10
and it made an impact with Southmore in the second round of the playoffs in
7:14
two thousand and nine, and I'm telling you our kids it took them well,
7:16
we never got on track, but the first quarter was just we were
7:20
just dead. Yeah. So but I am going Westland here, big win?
7:25
All right, next ballgame, coach Foreman, I guess maybe he'll have
7:29
to sit this one out. I don't know, maybe maybe not. Copen
7:31
is on the road at Coil. Hornets are four and four three and two
7:34
in district play the Coil Blue Jackets for six and two overall four and one
7:39
in the district. As coach Foreman mentioned on paper, this will probably be
7:44
the game that'll side third and fourth in Class C District three. Copen hasn't
7:47
mentioned beat Watts last week seventy four to twenty four. Coil beat Oaks fifty
7:53
two to six. Coyle lost to Wilson fifty to eight. They beat South
7:57
Town forty six to nothing, had a thirty six eighteen went over Watts,
8:01
a forty six nothing went over Blue Jacket, and then the Oaks victory last
8:05
week. A win for Copen and a Watts loss would clinch the first Hornet
8:09
playoff Berth. That's set of twenty twenty since two thousand and nine. That's
8:15
awesome. I don't know much about Coil. I know that they're they're usually
8:20
pretty good, and you know, when you look at sort of transitive properties
8:28
of the of the games, this looks like a pretty even matchup. I
8:33
have been, as you guys know, pulling for uh, before you pick
8:37
you want me to tell you a little bit about them? Sure, I
8:39
love it all right, So Coil to me is a little bit better version
8:43
of Watts. They're big, they're physical, They're gonna tryslow the game down.
8:48
I'm gonna try to pound it at you, try to take us off
8:52
the field as much as possible. We've had a good week of practice though,
8:56
so I'm feeling I feel confident. I know the kids feel confident.
9:00
The kids been playing good, putting up crazy numbers last few weeks. Again,
9:07
last week had probably the best game we've played, most complete game we've
9:09
played in four years. You know West and O'Rourke. I know you guys
9:13
talked about him. One hundred and seventy yards on fourteen carries last week,
9:16
three touchdowns, punt return for a touchdown. I don't think Watt's watched his
9:20
film because they punted to him. He's done that every pretty much every daggum
9:24
punt return all year has been a touchdowns. That number five, number four,
9:28
number four, you're thinking, yeah, actually number five got banged up
9:31
last week and didn't play the second half. So but he's ready to go.
9:37
So he shooter Brewington six catches again, Shooter Brewington. That's our guys
9:43
six catches, eighty yards, two touchdowns this week, twenty three tackles.
9:46
I saw the Wow. West and O'Rourke had those same numbers on offense had
9:50
nineteen tackles. Wow. Then Caine had a big game. He was one
9:54
hundred and ninety ish yards, five touchdowns. So, I mean the guys
9:58
are dialed on offense. We got our big lineman back this week, so
10:03
well, this will be the first time my starting line has been there all
10:07
year for the same game, and fifty are back together, so we're excited
10:15
about that. This is the healthiest we've been. Uh So there's a little
10:20
tidbit on on where both teams are at before you guys make your picks.
10:24
Yeah. I like the Hornets here. I love what's on the line.
10:28
Again, it's kind of like Wesley and I like that they're clicking at the
10:31
right time. Coyle is a is a really tough opponent, and you know,
10:37
on the road is tough. But I'm I'm pulling for coach Foreman.
10:43
I'm I'm going to pick them and and I think, you know again,
10:48
I like where I like that they're clicking when they're clicking. Yeah, how
10:52
could you not pick against Copana? For what? Coach Foreman just I was
11:00
thinking picking. I thought, well, it's gonna be close. But now
11:01
he's got everybody back, everybody's healthy, this whole offensive line's back. You
11:05
know, they're throwing up big numbers. They had a great week of practice,
11:09
and what do you look at this and say, well, they're kind
11:11
of too evenly matched teams. So we cleaned up the turnovers. That's what
11:16
I was getting ready to ask you. What about how many turnovers have last
11:18
week? We haven't had any in the last we haven't had any the last
11:20
two games we have, we haven't punted in the last We put it once
11:24
in the last four games. Yeah, five games. I mean, how
11:26
could you you'd be at But you know what, I hear something. I'm
11:31
gonna tell you. They're going to clinch a playoff Persons two thousand and nine.
11:35
That's huge. That is unbelievable. Congratulations coach, Hey, don't congratulate
11:39
him yet, don't Tommy, don't talk come on gradually, just have that
11:45
opportunity to clinch a playoff incredible in week nine. That's that's awesome, And
11:50
I feel like we need to remind people they were co oping just a couple
11:54
of years. Yea four years. That is incredible. Yeah yeah, great
11:58
job Copenn Hornets picking Colpan. But I want to go back in history a
12:01
little bit. I remember and the job you've done up there, and and
12:05
and the investment you've put into that community and that program and the team.
12:11
Guys, I'm telling you twenty years ago, not twenty years ago, ten
12:13
fifteen years ago, we'd be in the tire stores and we'd be talking about
12:16
youth football. What do you got? What are you doing? So I
12:18
did a little. You know, sometimes I can't sleep, Guys, the
12:22
older you get, sometimes you wake up three you are super old. And
12:26
but you go back to what they were doing in the springtime, your weight
12:28
program, and you know, I kind of was just clicking around. I'm
12:33
telling you, guys, go on and watch some of those videos. There's
12:35
some highlights of the dang spring workouts. So to hear that these kids are
12:39
coming back and playing hard and they're playing with passion. So I'm going Cokepan
12:43
all the way. Plus Shooter, I mean Shooter Branton Fridish football. I
12:48
mean, they're put they're putting up a lot of points. Not only has
12:52
he got a good name, tough, tough, tough sucker, great kid,
12:56
but uh, first tackle he had Friday dislocates his finger. Oh,
13:01
I mean it's he comes run. Yeah, he gets up, he tackles
13:05
right on our sideline. He stands up and he's like, oh yeah,
13:09
we pop it in. He misses a play. Twenty three tackles. I
13:11
love it. Two touchdown. It's awesome, right, cut it off?
13:18
Yeah great, Yeah. Well, it's just really cool to see the community
13:22
too. And I saw what you guys did. I think with Linda Fields
13:26
the tribute as she's going through her battle and just Franklin, Franklin just really
13:31
cool. So well, we're pulling for you, coach, you bet you
13:37
all right. Next eight man ball game, Barnes Doll at home against drum
13:41
Right Panthers seven and one, two and one in District seven and Class B.
13:46
The turm Right Tornadoes are eight and o and they're three and oh in
13:48
the district. If Barnesdall wants a district title, they've got to win this
13:52
one. Barnesdall got back on track with a fifty two to six win over
13:56
all of last week. Trum Right beat Pioneer seven to twenty four, drum
14:01
Right winning their eight games by an average of fifty eight to twenty three point
14:05
six. They beat Regent Prep thirty two to twenty sevens While the Tornadoes are
14:09
undefeated in first place in the district. Barnstall, if you remember, lost
14:13
to Regent Prep sixty one to fourteen other games in the district. On Friday,
14:18
Regent Prep is at home against winless in the district Olive and Yale,
14:24
who was one and two in the game back of Barnstall at two and one,
14:28
will be at Pioneer, who's also one and two on Friday, so
14:31
someone is going to be a two win team between Yale and Pioneer. Barnsdall
14:37
is two and one, tied with Regent Prep. Of course, Regent has
14:39
a tiebreaker and drum Right is undefeated at three and zero with two games to
14:43
play in Class B seven. Barnsdall hosting drum Right. I like that it's
14:48
at home. I like that the station has got back on track last week.
14:54
Man, drum Right sounds really good, especially if they especially if they
15:00
pretty darn good, especially if they did if they got over Regent Prep.
15:03
Like that was it at Regent. I don't remember smoke. Yeah, this
15:07
is gonna be a uh, this is gonna be a tough one for the
15:11
Stashes. It looks like it looks like drum Right is in a is in
15:16
a race for for that district title. Wins this one, they're going to
15:22
I'm going to take it. I think it's drum Right here. I just
15:26
think that I am. I know he's gonna have nightmares. I know I
15:31
don't like it if they already don't like me. But yeah, I think
15:35
I think it's drum Right. I'd love for the Stashes to pull it out,
15:37
but man, it sounds like sounds like drum Rights on the found.
15:41
So drum Right's big. They got a quarterback six one two ten, probably
15:48
runs the ball a lot, huge center, probably six five six six,
15:52
probably three hundred pounds. They are They these two teams kind of mirror each
15:58
other. They both like to pound it, they're both big, physical,
16:03
But man, drum Right seems like they're kind of a step ahead right now.
16:07
So I think I think it's gonna be a little too much for Barnsdall.
16:10
I hope they do win, but I'm gonna gonna have to say drum
16:14
right's gonna win this one. Well, anything can happen anytime to put the
16:18
ball on the tea, you never know what's gonna happen. And it's especially
16:21
at home, so that gives them an advantage there. It's gonna come down
16:26
to turnovers. Barslaw is gonna have to force some turnovers. Coach Sweeney's gonna
16:30
have to on side kick it. You know, he's gonna have to do
16:33
something different than what he's done before, because you know, I agree with
16:37
coach Foreman. I think Drumwright is a step ahead of Barnstall right here.
16:41
So that's not to say they're not gonna win. That just says that you're
16:45
gonna have to do something different when it team's a little bit better than you
16:48
and pull out all the stops. So I like this at home, and
16:52
I like coach Sweeney, and I'm gonna take the Panthers all right, Hey,
16:57
I like it. I'm here for it. Yeah, I'm not going
17:03
to pick Barnes doall not so fast, my friend, so draw, I
17:10
mean, they're really good, they're coach very well. Coach Elrick is the
17:14
coach of him used to be at Stroud, that was there forever. Yeah,
17:18
he took over this year, so first year coach, but they've always
17:22
been good. But if you look at his resume, you know coach Swingey,
17:26
coach Elric. I mean he's got two hundred wins, I think as
17:30
a high school coach. So unfortunately, I think they're rolling in the coach
17:33
Foreman's point, I didn't know anything about the team besides that they're eight no,
17:38
big, strong, fast, physical. It is at home. I
17:41
think that helps a little bit. But I gotta go drum right, all
17:47
right, one panther, everyone else takes the trum right Tornadoes again. That
17:49
will be in Barnstall on Friday night and a chance for District District seven and
17:55
a Class B championship implications in that ballgame in OC's County. I did the
18:00
eight man games first because I wanted to wait a bit before we get to
18:03
our first playoff game. Kane Valley, Kansas at home against Council Grove,
18:07
first round of the two A Playoffs, where the ks HSAA postseason Bullpups did
18:14
lose that game to Riverson last week thirty two eleven's they finished second in two
18:18
A District one. Caney Valley went five to three the Council Grove Braves also
18:25
went five and three. They finished third in two A District two. It's
18:29
the reason why they're at Caney on Friday night. Two common opponents. They
18:33
both played Humboldt in Eureka. Cane lost to Humboldt twenty eight to eight.
18:37
Council Grove lost to Humboldt fourteen to seven. Cane beat Eureka fifty eight to
18:42
sixteen. Council Grove beat Eureka forty three. Nothing. I put this on
18:48
here just for night Hawk. That is a two hour and forty eight minute
18:51
drive. Council Grove is just south of Manhattan. The winner between Cane and
18:56
Council Grove will get the winner of O Sage City and theodashe They're coming to
19:00
Candy on a yellow dog for three hours, night Hawk. This has got
19:03
to be the turning point in the season for the bullpups, right Well,
19:08
I think the turning point was weeks ago when coach Rev called them out on
19:12
their offense three what happened last what happened last week? They didn't get did
19:18
not get an update on that. We thought they'd crush River too weird.
19:22
Well, I like them here. It's playoff time. Boys, it's playoff
19:27
time. Wise, can't Why is their playoffs starting all already? I don't
19:30
get I want to get the basketball. I also think they've got an extra
19:34
round, right. Didn't we talk about this last they may? Yeah,
19:37
it was, you know, everyone plays nine games instead of ten. That's
19:41
their thought because they have the biggest games in one week, if that's accurate.
19:45
But if you don't make the playoffs this week, non playoff teams,
19:48
they still play Friday against another opponent from that other district. So if you
19:52
finished last in your district, you'll play the other teams in the last other
19:56
districts last place team for your last week season game. That is weird.
20:00
They just kind of move it along one week. Huh. They play an
20:03
extra week now, would you say two playoff games in a week? Yes,
20:07
they played two playoff games in one week. What do you play on?
20:08
They play on Tuesday and Friday. Is that it used to be?
20:12
Yeah, I'm not a hundred I don't. I don't know that that's still
20:15
the case, but that's how it used to be. So they changed the
20:18
way they did the district and stuff. Like two or three years basketball has
20:25
already started. Everybody knows that guys, it's bullpups. Yeah, yeah,
20:30
I'm taking Canne as well. I think that Bush ride in I think if
20:33
Yeah, I don't know obviously anything about him. But coming north of Manhattan
20:36
down to the it's just south state line, but yes, south of it,
20:40
Uh, taking Kenney. I'm taking the bullpups at the old w p
20:44
A Field right downtown. Watch it go to the bathroom before you go to
20:48
the ball game. You can't go to the bathroom. And Cannell, you'll
20:52
have to drive it because they're out of water, so you'll have to drive
20:55
the copin and go to the bathroom. I come to the co truck stops,
21:00
so you can't go to the best part about this is Evan is saying
21:04
this with all laughing. I mean, like you can't go back there behind
21:11
that tree. No, you got to drive. Yeah, he can't go
21:15
to the bathroom. Evan with the p s a announcement. Yeah, there'll
21:21
be a porter party. Can use I'll go with I'll go with Kanie.
21:23
Also, I don't know anything about the team they're playing, Uh, but
21:29
I know Chris Davis has been there a long time and I know he'll have
21:32
the guys geared up and ready to play. Also, I had a kid
21:34
on their team that I used to coach, Ace Coaster. So what you
21:37
say? His name was a yeah another Coaster. Yeah that is out so
21:44
and he's a big boy, six five about two eighty Pitt States looking at
21:47
him. So I'm gonna roll with Kenny on that one. I love that.
21:51
Well, first, how did you lose that kid? My god?
21:55
On coach, I had a cool name, A Shooter. Pretty good.
22:00
Yeah, alright, we move on to the next eleven man Now Oklahoma ball
22:07
games Canny Valley at home against Rejoice Christian. It is senior night in Ramona.
22:11
Trojan's now oh and eight a sixty to eight loss. This line the
22:15
last week, Rejoice beating no wad a week ago, forty nine nothing.
22:18
They are now five and three, three and two in district play. Rejoice,
22:23
Yeah, Rejoice. I'm sorry. I want it not to be,
22:26
but it's it's Rejoice all the way. You know what, who cares?
22:30
Let's talk about something very important with this game, all right? I think
22:33
it's Cooper Fogel. That's exactly right. Set the school record in tackles.
22:38
It's like four weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, you're kidding me. Yes,
22:42
five hundred record, Yes, five, that's amazing, it's exactly right
22:48
record. Well that's going close. I don't know. Well, I'm sure
22:52
it's career record. And he leads to he leads to a and tackling as
22:55
well, so so so they say, yeah, that's fantastic, congrats kid,
23:00
way to go. He was state champion of pole vault. Also,
23:04
he's going if he doesn't get a scholarship somewhere. I think that he probably
23:10
could. But if he doesn't, he's going to walk on at n s
23:12
U. Hey, we're going to get an Okay here, I got to
23:15
ask you guys, something you ever tried to pull vault? No? It
23:18
is absolutely incredibly difficult. I did it in eighth grade. When every track
23:26
meet, your kid twelve and a half feet is an eighth grader. We
23:29
didn't have it at Copani had to quit doing it. It is absolutely the
23:32
most difficult thing you can do. That kid must be a stud I'm televius.
23:37
He's got five hundred tackles. Yeah, they've had some guy between him.
23:41
Da Barham last year, graduated two years ago. I mean that those
23:45
are two big time athletes. I mean, you know they're playing rejoice that's
23:52
tough, and you know it's not looking good for the Trojans. But regardless,
23:56
let's find something good out of it and congratulate. I love that.
23:59
I love that's awesome. Next game, ef, all right, next ball
24:04
game. We've got Oklahoma Union against Pawnee Cougars oh and eighth and five in
24:10
district play. Black players are now six and two, three and two in
24:12
the district. Pondee coming off with sixty six to six win over Chelsea.
24:17
Oklahoma Union lost to show Toe Mazie forty six to fourteen. I still say,
24:22
regardless of how you think this one will go, I think the Cougars
24:25
do have a decent chance a week from Friday against two and six Chelsea,
24:29
but this one will be you want to lead off again, Yeah, I'll
24:32
go ahead and take Punny. It's unfortunate that, you know, we've got
24:36
two of our local teams that are you know, they're still young and they're
24:38
still coming along and they're maturing. But boy, these are two tough teams
24:41
by Canny Valley and Oklahoma Union. I gotta take Puny, but I do
24:45
want to say I like the fourteen that they that they scored. You know,
24:48
that's they've been. I mean, look, they're not that far off
24:52
from winning a ball game. That's why I think that I think a great
24:55
Chelsea next one. I will tell you, I'm going to take Chelsea next
24:57
week. I'll pick next week. I'm gonna sorry, I'm gonna pick.
25:02
You need to beat Chelsea, Yes, thank you. I know Connor Pierce
25:04
their quarterback, he's a tough kid. But yeah, I'm gonna have to
25:07
go with Pawnee also, but I'm with you, Evan, I think they
25:11
I think they get their win next week, so that this week's gonna be
25:15
tough. Yeah, and I agree. You know, it's gonna be hard
25:19
for him to beat Pawnee Pawny black Bears, which I love the black Bears.
25:23
Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Bars will be the Bartiville blue blue
25:27
bearns because that it just doesn't come off the tongue the same as black bears
25:32
and the black black bear. Also, also, I need to point out
25:37
again I'm helping you out here, but a black bear is an actual real
25:41
animal. I don't okay, black Bears, Pawny black Bears. Who else
25:45
is famous from Pawnee? Do you know anybody from Pawnee yeah, yeah,
25:52
that's right. Yeah, okay, next ball game. De We at Verdigris.
25:56
Bulldoggers won in seven and five in the district. The Vertigris Cardinals are
26:00
three and five three and two in the district. Dewey lost to Central a
26:06
week ago forty to seven. Verdigris got a thirty two to fourteen win over
26:11
Jay. Cardinals are currently fourth and three eight District four, so they're a
26:15
playoff team right now, game ahead of j Iola in Central. Their district
26:19
wins are over Central, Bristow and Jay so far, and I believe they
26:23
have a Week ten matchup with Iola. Dewey at Vertigris. Man, why
26:30
don't we let uh, why don't we let old coach Revard? He goes,
26:34
last, Okay, I'm doing all right? That is all over the
26:37
last? Okay, fine, I mean I'll go it's Vertigos. Is this
26:41
your first time here? Hey, bats Meat coach rep I know he used
26:45
to coach it. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately, no, Wana, I
26:49
mean Dewey Vertigos. I've got to go Vertegris as well. Do He's getting
26:53
better though. I mean, I will say this, as far as our
26:56
offense compared to I mean, they just got it I mean, we've been
26:59
saying it all you they got to put it together for four quarters. But
27:02
they are doing some things different with Lynch and they're kind of I mean,
27:04
they're trying to get some offense going, but I just think Vertigo's gonna be
27:08
too tough do I'll tell you they got some good looking athletes. Lynch kid,
27:12
he looks the part. I'll tell you I wouldn't watched them on our
27:15
bye week. They fight hard. I still think they're a year away.
27:19
They're pretty young Muniger quarterback. I think the kids got some talent. He
27:25
just they got to grow up some around him. Easton Davis gonna be a
27:30
heck of a player too. You know, they got some talent there.
27:33
I think they're just about a year away still though, So I'm going to
27:36
go Vertigris too. As much as I hate to say it, but I
27:40
do think Vertigos probably gets this one. Well. I can't tell you they
27:45
did listen to me last week. Whenever I told they did football, they
27:48
did. They scored their first rushing touchdown quarterbacks, Well, that doesn't really
27:55
count their first rushing touchdown in Week eight. Yeah, that's that's crazy.
28:03
You know what's more crazy is that Vertigos is three and five. I mean
28:07
they're two years removed from winn the state championship. They're traditionally really really good
28:11
and well they played, Yeah, but he didn't even come close to the
28:17
state championship, so he had nothing to do with that. Regardless, Bulldogger
28:21
has got a tough one against Vertigos, another tough one going there and playing.
28:26
I hope they run the ball, make this close closer than what it
28:33
could be. And but I'm gonna have to go with Burger's Cardinals. So
28:36
you're saying not to run the spread offense exactly. I don't think Evan's gonna.
28:42
We had a long discussion about spread versus wing tea spread verse running last
28:47
week of one on the air. Yeah, well about this. If I
28:56
don't think he's gonna let us probably get into that discussion. But maybe a
28:59
little bit, maybe we can talk a little bit about Okay about it,
29:03
go ahead, he's looking, he's giving us the look. But coach Smith
29:04
did win a championship running the spread with Paul Smith in two thousand, Deer
29:08
Creek had so he brought this up about coach Smith, you know, winning
29:15
the spread. Okay, remember his son set the state passing record, and
29:21
we didn't do that. He didn't run with the shovel pass. That's not
29:23
that is a one out. I got his coach with him for eight years.
29:29
I knew that was like a shovel, which is considered a pass.
29:33
I'm sure that's what that is. A Okay, how about in twenty sixteen
29:42
Heritage Hall and Metro State championship. It was the most points ever scored in
29:48
an Oklahoma s cape. Heritage Hall won that game. Yeah, and one
29:52
quarterback through the six hundred and fifty yards they won through for five hundred and
29:56
eighty yards. Now, the losing quarterback did only throw for five eighty that's
29:59
it. I agree with you. I'm running. I am run first,
30:03
play good defense. What about that time about that time in two thousand and
30:07
three, run the football. To win in the playoffs, you need to
30:11
run the ball, play good defense. Although I will say for five touchdowns,
30:18
he'll say, sometimes we have to open up our run game with our
30:22
pass and we're kind of backwards. Last week was that type of deal.
30:25
We were struggling to run in the first half through three touchdowns. Weston ran
30:29
all over in the second half. So but yeah. I mean we were
30:32
able to run it part of the game, so yeah, we we like
30:33
to run the ball. Coach, would you agree that when you get in
30:37
November it is cold, the wind is blowing, that it could be raining
30:42
that doesn't have anything? Did you make a pin? Yes? I did.
30:47
All right, we brought this subject up. Batch. You would not
30:49
know anything about. You're a Jimmy, your talent, you're the announcer.
30:57
All right, let's do the next game. Dewey Verdigris did that one.
31:02
No WATA at home against Selina Krag one oh four point nine video coverage krigtv
31:07
dot com. Ironman three and five, one in four in district play Wildcats
31:12
or four and four two and three in the district no wada. Coming off
31:17
a loss to a Rejoice Christian forty ninth to nothing, Salina beat Kane Valley
31:22
sixty to six last week. Salina's other district win is over Rejoice thirty to
31:26
seventeen back in September twenty second. That might be the most head scratching result
31:30
in two A eight so far. No WATA. I don't believe is in
31:37
a position with points where they could even get into the playoffs. But I
31:40
will say, statistically they can tie for fourth with their record, but they're
31:45
just they're not going to be able to get there with points. But the
31:48
Ironmen are at home against Selina. Is Salina in a position to get in?
31:53
Salina is in a much better position to get in. Yes they are.
31:57
They are thirty sorry, twenty eight points better than Well, let's just
32:01
clarify when you talk about points, because something don't know what points are.
32:07
So for it's still fifteen points for district games, right, so you can
32:10
lose that. The most you go in or lose in a district game is
32:15
fifteen points. So if you see a team that's up ten minute left and
32:20
they're still going for it, they're not trying to run the score up.
32:22
They're trying to get their full fifteen points because it matters because now we're talking
32:24
about points in order to make them play unless they're up fifty. Can I
32:28
bring up something about can we sure? Coach stiel Beck and I had this
32:31
conversation the other night at Bartsville. Okay, yeah, let's say that you
32:37
you're in overtime, uh huh, okay, and you score a touchdown to
32:40
win the football game, correct, can you kick the extra point. I
32:45
don't think so now that's state. Yeah, for for points, you can't
32:50
say no, we need we have to kick this X. I don't think.
32:52
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, State coach stil Beck. He
32:55
first said no, you can't, and then he thought about it for many
32:59
he said, wait a minute, and I said, yeah, that's what
33:02
I'm thinking here. Now, I guess if you look at the stay in
33:06
state rules of O S s A once you win and gets over, Yeah,
33:10
I don't know. I think it is no. We just told you
33:14
say. I don't trust what you're telling me about rules. I mean,
33:15
if you were down rule, if you were in, maybe it's an eye.
33:22
But think about it. Think about it this way. If you were
33:28
really down to a spot where you needed the one point and you were in
33:31
overtime, let's say you needed seven points to get in, then you wouldn't
33:36
need to get the ball first, and then you can get to kick your
33:38
p A t right or go for two? Yeah? Or go for two
33:42
and get your your what you over seven points? And then let's say you
33:44
don't win it and you can't well, yeah, if you don't win the
33:47
toss, you might be screwed. We need we need Kevin Lynch's opinion.
33:52
Kevin, when you listen to the show, let us know, let us
33:53
know the rules. I can tell you what the rules are because we we
33:57
ran into that. You did yes talking about the most points. Okay,
34:02
so anyway, no what it's Solina Solina. I hate it. I don't.
34:08
I don't like at the end of the season when you come up against
34:12
the team that's got something to play for and and your boys know that they're
34:15
that they're probably out of it. I like it at home, but but
34:20
it's Selina. I like what coach Jubie is doing over there. I think
34:23
he's got to know what to play a lot better. He's got some athletes
34:28
still. I think they're a little bit young still. Yet Selina's got a
34:31
lot on the line more than now is. So I think Slina is probably
34:34
gonna be dialed in and then come away with winn there. I agree with
34:39
you, coach for him, and I'm taking Salina. I do think it
34:42
goes to overtime, and I think our argument is going to prove oh yeah,
34:46
the overtime and the specific prediction Lion's gonna score, They're going to have
34:52
to kick point and the raft is going to go idiots like I've never coached
34:55
here before. Well, I'm gonna tell you guys couple of things that you
35:00
guys are wrong. Solina is not getting in the playoffs. They do not
35:04
have a chance to get in the playoffs. It's gonna be Adair Pasca,
35:07
clamore, sequoy and rejoice. Now, you're right, that's yeah, Slina
35:09
doesn't have a chance. You're right, Well, they have a chance.
35:13
No, no, they don't. I mean, let's be realistic. They
35:15
do not have a chancetically and if you even put the numbers together, they're
35:22
out. They're not to make it. So then I don't think mathematically they're
35:27
eliminated. Mathematically they're not. You're right, eight Air is gonna have to
35:30
get beat by Caney Valley or there's a chance it's gonna be one of those
35:37
deals. Regardless. The Ironmen have came a long way this year, a
35:43
long way, and to think that they're done with their season with two games
35:46
left is wrong, totally wrong, because they've done a great job and those
35:52
kids have a chance to go five hundred this year. You know, they
35:54
can win their last two games and go five hundred. So they've got a
35:58
lot to play for here. It might not be the playoffs, but they
36:00
still have a lot to play for. And I think Joe coach Jubi's done
36:05
a phenomenal job and he's gonna he's gonna point that stuff out to those kids
36:08
and they're gonna be ready to play. And I think they're still excited about
36:10
playing football over there. Yeah, they really are, even though it's late
36:14
in the season. They've lost a few, that's okay, they're excited.
36:16
And uh Salina may be the opposite because they went into the season thinking they
36:22
were a top fourteen, that they were in gonna make the playoffs and all
36:25
that fun stuff like that. So this is a disappointment for them and now
36:30
they're out of the playoffs. Coming to no Wata, I'm taking the Ironman
36:35
Boys, all right, good, I think that's in without going to ot
36:42
oh way Okay, in regulation, iron I think it'll be a good one.
36:45
No Wata does play at eight Air for a week and pretense this is
36:50
probably the last last real good chance for No Wanta to get a victory.
36:53
Next ball game by Haskad home against eight Air. Sports Talk ninety nine point
36:59
one af AM KPGM video coverage KPGMTV dot Com Huskies are five and three overall,
37:05
four and one in the district following their forty nine to sixteen loss at
37:08
Sequoia last week. Eighty Air Warriors are undefeated in the district five and oh
37:14
five and three overall. They beat Venida a week ago thirty four to fourteen,
37:19
eight aras district wins over Sequoia by three, Salina twenty nine to eight,
37:23
beat Rejoiced by four, Katie Valley forty two to eight, and then
37:28
that before mentioned thirty four to fourteen win over Venida. Outside of the game
37:32
against Sequoia, Bahuska has beaten all their common opponents Selina, Kney Valley,
37:37
and Venida by more points than eight Air did. If you're curious. As
37:39
I mentioned, eight Air has no WATA next week, Bohuska goes to Rejoice
37:44
and Sequoia this week is at Venita. The district standings in two A eight
37:50
right now eight Airs first at five and oh Bahuska is alone and second at
37:52
four and one. Then you have Claremore Sequoia A tied with Rejoice for third
37:59
at three and two, and have Venita and Solina a game back and just
38:02
outside the playoff picture at two and three each and then know what at one
38:07
and four in Kenney Valley on five, Game of the gotta be tail Gate
38:09
Talk game of the week. I'm just huge. That's a big game.
38:14
He's got two big games coming up. I mean, because they could either
38:16
be in YEP or they could be they could win first. Crazy. Yeah,
38:21
it is crazy, you going yeah, no, okay, all right,
38:25
I thought you might go over for that one. That's a big game.
38:28
Yeah, I got I've got the Huskies. I like that it's at
38:34
home again. I just really think this is this is a big game.
38:37
They are gonna be none too happy about that loss to Clairemore Sequoia, and
38:43
like you guys talk about all the time, they'll be ready to play over
38:47
there. And yeah, I'm I'm Huskies all the way here. Yeah,
38:52
I agree. I think both teams pretty evenly matched. It looks like so
38:58
I'm gonna go to the coaching and I'm gonna take Tennessee. Yeah. I
39:00
think he's as good as anybody out there, and he'll do as Revard always
39:06
talks about, He'll do whatever it takes if he's got to do on side
39:09
kicks or trick plays or whatever, He'll dial it up. He'll let those
39:14
kids ready. So I'm gonna take the Huska and that one. Also.
39:17
Yeah, I'm just excited thinking about this game and really thinking about their last
39:21
two weeks because coach Tennessee is going to have those kids ready to go.
39:23
They're going to know exactly what they have to do the next two weeks.
39:27
Now whether or not they get that done, you know, next week they're
39:30
on the road to rejoice and that could come down. I think it's going
39:32
to come down to the district title. So but I think they get past
39:37
this week. I think it's gonna be a close game. I think they're
39:38
evenly matched. But I give the home field and coach Tennessee getting those kids
39:42
ready to go, and they're gonna get to win. But man, what
39:45
a great game. If you're boy, if you're in the area and love
39:49
high school football, you got to get to this one. Nighthawk. I
39:51
am absolutely with you. I was gonna mention it when we talk about Bartlesville,
39:54
but think about think about a game of that magnitude Friday night. It's
40:00
gotta be cold. Did you see the cold front's coming through? It's got
40:02
to be like forty nine fifty degrees at kick leaves blowing around. Now we're
40:07
talking about fall football. Man, that's gonna be awesome. Man, that
40:10
is gonna be a great I hope everybody rolls out to watch that game.
40:14
Evan, Who does Sequoia have this week at they're at Venita? Yeah,
40:22
all right, Well, this is gonna be a great game. And this
40:25
is this has turned into a rival game over the last ten fifteen years at
40:30
that. I mean, there has been some incredible games between coach Tennessee and
40:34
when coach Lippy was there, and I mean it's just been incredible. And
40:38
every game that they've played each other is yeah, it's not only close,
40:43
but it's also means something that's for first and second, it's very meaningful.
40:46
It's just like this right game right here. Coach Tennessey did an unbelievable job
40:52
scheduling this year because all his tough games, you know, for the most
40:54
part, have been at home. So good for him, especially right now.
40:58
Uh, but this this is gonna be a fantastic game. Just like
41:01
you guys mentioned. Oh boy, I still would love to know why Adre
41:07
started off zero to three this year and now they've rattled off five wins in
41:13
a row in the district and they're not. They're hey, non district games.
41:19
They don't matter that you're you're right, they don't matter. But they
41:21
played some teams that weren't just the best teams out there in the state of
41:24
Oklahoma. So anyways, that's that interests me a little bit. But I
41:29
can promise right now coach Tennessee has those films and he's looking going why these
41:32
teams win, and he's gonna have him coached Upbrady to play. The surprise
41:37
of last week was the score of Sequoia and Pehuska, the forty nine to
41:43
sixteen that shocked us. And it's my understanding it was close, had a
41:46
couple of late interceptions, maybe pick sixes, I don't know what ye was
41:51
fourteen eight akoiet half Sekoya got the ball to be in the third quarter,
41:55
had a seven minute drive and scored to get up twenty one to eight.
42:00
And then the next two drives Behuska threw interceptions inside their own twenty and that
42:05
both led to I think they scored on the next offensive play the next two
42:08
times, so they got down thirty five eight. They didn't score touchdown.
42:12
I think they make it thirty five, sixteen, and then and then they
42:15
gave up a couple at the end. Well, I'm gonna take the Huska
42:17
because they're at home. If they were playing at eight air, I would
42:21
take eight air. But since they're at home, I'm going to take them.
42:23
And uh, I'd love to get over and see this game is.
42:29
It's gonna be on TV, so I'm gonna watch it there for sure.
42:31
But I'm a big weekend for you. Yeah, my son decided to get
42:35
married. There's forty other Saturdays, forty other Saturday duck season. Hey,
42:43
he's smart enough to get You're right. I thought he would mention what I
42:47
asked him if he was going I could tell, I can I can tell
42:58
by the look at his face. Yeah, Oh that's great. All right.
43:02
Next ballgame, bartlesvel at home against Muscogee K onek onetv dot com Bruins
43:08
three and five after another tough loss at Sands Springs last week twenty to seventeen.
43:14
Roughers pretty much the unquestioned number one team of the state. Weren't necessarily
43:19
that in the preseason, but they've gotten a lot better off a team that
43:22
was really good a year ago. There's seven and one overall five and zero
43:24
in the district. Muscogee beat Booker t last week sixty three to twenty.
43:29
Bartlesville has been tied or had the lead with less than four minutes left in
43:34
every loss but one so far, and the other one that they lost they
43:37
were down by like four. That's incredible. They've been within one score at
43:42
least or tied or ahead in all five of their losses a Muscogee beating teams
43:47
by an average of fifty five to thirteen. Roughers loss was to Carl Albert
43:52
in non district play back on September the eighth, forty three to twenty a
43:57
Muscoge If you're curious, well end the season at still Water in a ballgame
44:00
that may decide the district championship. Probably well on November the third, of
44:05
course, Bartlesville has that Week ten ball game at Tallaquah a week from Friday
44:09
as well. Closest district game from Muscogee is that home win over Sands Springs
44:14
fifty one to thirteen. Bartlesville is in a tie four third place in the
44:20
district with Sand Springs and Tallaquah. Obviously, the Bruins have yet to play
44:25
Tallaquah and they lost to Sand Springs last week. The Sandites have Booker T
44:29
at home on Friday. Stillwater hosts Taallequan on Friday. They are in a
44:34
tie, of course for first with them Scogie. So you have but Scogian
44:36
still Water both five and oh Bartlesville, Sands Springs Tataqua three and two,
44:40
Booker T at one and four, and then PC West and US Grant both
44:45
at one to five. Guys, this is an easy pick. It's the
44:49
Bruins all the way. Uh you know, I know the easy pick.
44:52
I know the number one team easy. I know the number one team in
44:55
the state is coming in. But uh, I was that threw me off
45:00
for a second. I was like, man, he's gonna pick my skull.
45:01
You know, the Bruest be ready to play again. We talked about
45:06
the weather Fall football. I think coach Wright's gonna have a prep senior night.
45:10
I think it's all in front of him. Yeah, Broods all the
45:13
way. Barters was gonna come in and play tough defense. I mean they've
45:15
played good defense all year. The defense kept them in games. They're gonna
45:21
ride PJ. Wallace till till he can't go anymore, try to slow the
45:25
game down, try to or speed the game up. I guess keeping Skoge
45:29
off the field, I don't think that's gonna matter. I think Muskoge gets
45:32
this one. Yeah, sand Springs did exactly what they should have done and
45:40
load the box and told Bartsville he's not gonna run the ball against us.
45:45
Yeah, we're gonna make him make a cut in the backfield. And he
45:49
did several times. First half. He had to run for I don't know,
45:52
seventy five yards or whatever it was. It beautiful run. It's incredible.
45:54
He was stiff armed. People throwing him down. Remind me of back
45:58
in my old day. You know, used to just sim nighthawks straight to
46:04
the ground, yard set slapping, the slapping straight to the ground. But
46:09
h but after that, besides that run, you know, they they shut
46:14
the running game down. I mean they loaded up the box and said you're
46:17
gonna beat us throwing the football. That's exactly what you're gonna do. But
46:21
Bartinsville's defense, Holy Smokes, continues to come up big time after time,
46:25
some big fourth down stops everything and Bottles did good. Buruins have given up
46:30
two touchdowns on defense. The last two games. One came on a thirty
46:37
five yard drive when still Water started at the brun thirty five off a bad
46:40
punt, and the other one came on a fourth and seven play. Yeah,
46:44
those are the two touchdowns that Sand Springs and Stillwater. They're not talking
46:47
taallequal U s crand sand Springs and Stillwater in two games scored two touchdowns against
46:53
their defense on a thirty five yard drive and a fourth and seven. They
46:58
are losing their you know, they're kind of plug up the middle and Cooper
47:01
Wood that's great, that's no good. And but I the defense is really
47:07
playing well. Yeah, what do you think about the past interference call for
47:12
the touchdown? You know, to off it was it probably was, but
47:21
man to call that in that situation. They've gotten they've gotten some that they
47:25
had a third and seventeen against still Water and got cold. They haven't gotten
47:29
a ton of breaks. Is offensive past interference in the zona and PJ just
47:32
kind of pushed off it wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't make that call,
47:37
I mean, because it wasn't flagrant or I know it, but it's
47:40
hard to argue because was it, yes, but was it flagrant? What
47:45
do he have made anywhere? And it completely just like the just like the
47:49
third and seventeen PI, you're talking about a call that completely changes because the
47:54
entire game, and it completely changes it because still Water's got a fourth and
47:58
seventeen from their own thirteen right in a game that they're about to lose,
48:02
or Bartlesville to scored a touchdown in the first overtime, and he just wiped
48:07
both those off. And it's I'm not saying they're good or back calls,
48:08
but both those calls completely changed the whole deal. It put them in a
48:15
and they're both both close enough that they just you know, they didn't get
48:17
the brakes. Listen, I got three really good coaches in this room right
48:21
now. I got to ask you guys something. Every time that they get
48:24
PJ. Wallace to the perimeter, he's gone. How come they stop doing
48:30
it? They started just running him up the middle at well, he goes
48:36
nuts in the first quarter and then they just start if you heard me say,
48:40
wellago, they're forcing him to make a cut in the backfield. So
48:44
what they're doing is they're they're setting the edge. They're bringing somebody off the
48:47
edge to say you are not going to get the edge on us. We're
48:52
going to force you to make a cut in the backfield and run it inside
48:55
the tackles office. Yeah, because they run the zone scheme and that's for
49:00
one cut. And what they're doing is when they're running that outside zone,
49:04
they have an edge player coming up and making sure that you are not getting
49:07
outside after he does it several times, because you're because you're not going to
49:10
see his zone running back. Sit there in the backfield and juke and Jabin
49:14
this and that. It's one cut and go. He's good at it.
49:16
But I just this is a tough one. I really want to pick the
49:22
Bruins here because they they're due to get that signature win at home and everything's
49:30
set up, it's right, it's right there for him to go get it.
49:32
They're due to get that catch that break, like Evan talked about,
49:37
and it's going to be tough for him. But since it is senior night,
49:42
I'm going to take the Bruins. Look at my guy, Look at
49:45
my guy. At some point in time, you have to. They've got
49:50
to get a big win bignature running right and and defensively they can play with
49:54
muscoge it's not like Muscoge's just blowing everybody out or anything like that. If
50:00
they will be disciplined and play, because I'm telling Travis Heels football team over
50:04
Muscogee, they are not gonna be disciplined. They're gonna talk all kinds of
50:07
trash. It's gonna be just dirty. Bartlesville, keep your mouth shut.
50:15
Let them get the penalties, take advantage of them. Hey, all right,
50:17
let me back up, go ahead. I was just gonna say real
50:21
quick, Evan, this is that game last year over in the rain at
50:23
Muscogee that Chase Eves got thrown out of. Remember early, and there were
50:29
Muscogee was literally over. There would be five or six guys on the Bartlesville
50:34
sideline waving bye bye at their coaches, like me to you right now,
50:37
Nighthawk. They were their players were over there. The coaches did nothing about
50:42
it. That was a weird game a year ago. It was thirty one
50:45
twenty eight at half. If you remember, bartlesviill scored touchdowns on its first
50:49
four drives. They had two fourth down stops inside their own ten and then
50:54
ended up scoring, and they were they had a two touchdown lead. They
50:58
trailed by three at half. The Scogie. I've scored him thirty to nothing
51:01
in the second half. Did you say the Muscogi's only losses to Carl Albert
51:06
and it was not a terrible forty three forty three twenty so, and they've
51:12
they've they their closest district win is over Sand Springs and that was fifty one
51:15
thirteen. Carl Albert might be the best team in the state now named bigsby
51:19
two in any class, right, Yeah, I agree? And they played
51:22
them within three touchdowns. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be a tough one.
51:27
Gonna be a tough game. So you're picking Muscogee. Now I did
51:31
not pick. Yeah, I picked? Are you done? Yes? My
51:38
god? Hey. First of all, I want to back up Coach Hills
51:42
a great coach. I had him in college, I coached against him when
51:45
he's at East Central. He's not a teater. They just talk a bount
51:51
of smack. No they don't. I'm telling you why isn't he Central?
51:54
Well, because I think that started with ad That's not true. Great coach,
52:01
Uh, you can be a cheater and he's not a cheater. I'm
52:06
telling you. Coach Hill is one of the best coaches in the state of
52:07
Oklahoma is a great coach. I'm no one said that you're going to see
52:10
a dis I don't know what happened last year, but I promise you of
52:15
Coach Hill, he was the coach that well, yeah, I know he
52:19
addressed that if that exit now, you can exaggerate sometimes and considering the name
52:27
you brought into that on the barswell side, I can see things get get
52:30
out of control. Coach Hill is going to have him ready to go.
52:32
Coach Hill runs a discipline program because, like I said, when he was
52:37
at East Central and I was at Bartlesville, we coach against each other for
52:39
five five years and they had some talent there and they always came in.
52:45
It's a big game obviously, that's you know, I said that, that's
52:49
why the rings out. I mean, there are some big games Tulsa is
52:52
playing. Brought his microphone with that ring. Are you sure rings about?
53:01
I only get it out once. It hadn't been out in week six year.
53:07
Yeah, Okay, Christine really likes Bartlesville. So you guys all have
53:16
touched on it, and you hear this. Coaches say they got to learn
53:21
how to win. So those pis late in the game, those are things
53:24
that when teams learn how to win, they learn how to make those plays.
53:29
So yeah, we can sit here and say therection have called in this
53:31
and that, but it shouldn't have been close. That's what it means when
53:34
coaches say they got to learn to win. Barzil's in that exact same situation.
53:38
If you go back through their schedule this year, guys, they could
53:42
be seven and one. I mean they could be seven and one easy,
53:45
yeah, yeah, I mean really eight No, But the stretch is it's
53:51
a little you know, I know they've got some seniors, but that junior
53:52
and sophomore class that are coming up. And that's what I was talking to
53:55
Nico about last Saturday. I said, you guys are going to learn how
53:59
to win. You got to take the this year and learn from it and
54:02
go into your senior year and everything. During the offseason, that's when you
54:06
start learning how to win. But I know it sucks to lose those close
54:09
games, but gosh, the you can decide what to do with it.
54:15
You can either learn from it and learn how to win and go have a
54:19
great senior year, go into the playoffs and make the playoffs tonight or next
54:22
week, and then do something special in the playoffs. Yeah, Unfortunately,
54:28
I've got to take Muskogie. I think they're one of the better teams in
54:30
the state. Coach Hill knows that it's boy, he's got a real good
54:36
chance to win the state championship, and you know, that's something pretty special.
54:40
So I think it's going to be a closer game than what a lot
54:44
of people throughout the state are going to think. Because Barzil's playing great defense,
54:46
I think losing wood down on the defensive line is going to hurt him.
54:51
I mean, he has played really, really well, but it's going
54:53
to be a great environment. And gosh, I'm pulling from Barzil. Don't
54:57
get me wrong. My gosh, I believe Blue. But if I'm picking
55:01
for the integrity of the show, when it comes to picking who I think
55:06
is gonna win, I gotta go Muskoge. This show is about integrity if
55:09
nothing else. You're right, absolutely agree. Couldn't agree more. I couldn't
55:16
agree with. You know. The one thing I really like about the last
55:21
two weeks, even though Bartles have lost both those games to still Water in
55:25
Sand Springs, is the way the defense has been playing. All of a
55:29
sudden, You've You've got a really complimentary football team. Right, you're holding
55:32
onto the ball a lot, you're running the ball a lot, you're taking
55:36
some shots, and you're playing really good defense. And you know it's it's
55:39
half time at seven forty, and that's not a bad deal when you're playing
55:44
someone like Stillwater and Muskoge. That's the reason why that Stillwater game was the
55:46
way it was. They kind of they kind of flustered that quarterback a little
55:51
bit, and all of a sudden they were out of a rhythm. They
55:53
just you know, they had one big fourth down stop inside their own ten.
55:58
All of a sudden they started doubting and Bartlesville started getting a few first
56:01
downs and hold none of that ball that moment it was seven fifty and the
56:06
bands on the field, and you're thinking, okay, and that's the that's
56:07
the way you if you're going to compete against Puscogee, it's the same deal.
56:12
You gotta hope it's halftime at seven to fifty. Bartstool's got to improve
56:15
on special teams. That's one phase of the game. It has hurt them
56:17
all year. They have to spend some time. And I know that coach
56:22
right and their staff, they I mean, special teams is not supposed to
56:25
cost you games, and it's cost them games. It has cost them games.
56:30
I mean the very opening play of that Sand Springs game, they returned
56:34
that kick down to what like the five three. It was absolutely incredible.
56:37
And then you have high Snaps, low snaps, the freaking punter, you
56:42
know, athlete, he is an athlete, and he's the Braxton Decker.
56:45
He's done a couple of things to really get them out of a pinch on
56:49
bad snaps and stuff. But they can't be putting themselves in positions like that.
56:52
Yeah, And the only thing, and I'm not ever gonna knock a
56:54
coach or anything on their decision making because when you're in here the moment,
56:59
and obviously the coaches are playing the coach and the win, they know their
57:01
team better than anybody. Me personally, that last drive, I would have
57:06
done everything possible to not rely on a special teams on a kicker to win
57:10
us the ballgame. You have two timeouts left, It's a minute and a
57:15
half and I think they got two plays left. So I'm not saying that's
57:17
right or wrong. Me personally, I would have taken the shot after shot
57:22
at the end zone, trying to get down there to get closer. I
57:27
mean to at least I mean a thirty one yard field goal. Guys.
57:30
High school football's tough. High school football. I mean, you saw last
57:34
week an NFL kicker. I mean you see it on Saturdays. They missed
57:37
thirty one yard field goals all the time. So I would have tried to
57:40
take it out of the especially with the time and especially with Nate Neil,
57:45
especially with Nico out there, and you get a PI or something in the
57:47
end zone, you're all of a sudden set up. Guys, again,
57:51
you've been part of some turnarounds. You know, it feels like they're so
57:57
close that coach right has just a second year, has got them so close
58:01
to a turnaround. You know, you get close against Stillwater, you get
58:06
close against Sand Springs. These are two really good teams. You know,
58:08
they're just right on the edge of flipping the switch. They just have to
58:14
get to that place mentally where the boys, you know, really believe that
58:20
that that they're gonna win those games. Well, let's let's go back.
58:23
They started zero to three. I know it. I mean think about it.
58:27
So divide the season up in the thirds and look at them what they're
58:30
doing in the middle, and they're going in the right direction, and I
58:32
like the direction they're going in. I think tonight's gonna be tough, but
58:36
I think they're gonna get in next week and I think you know they're gonna
58:38
win it. They're gonna win a playoff game. They really may got a
58:42
legitimate show. Yeah they do. Yeah. I mean, if they beat
58:45
Tallhquad, they'll be playing the team they finish better than in a district that's
58:49
not as good as them round, So they'll be playing the fifth place team.
58:52
If Bartlesville Canna be Taligua next week, they'll be playing the fifth place
58:55
team from that district. And I like that a lot. Yeah, which
58:59
beat last year. Yeah, it's not nearly as good yeah this year as
59:02
they were last year. Guys. What else, Well, this is a
59:07
big deal guys here. Oh boy, you're talking about a bubble team.
59:13
The other third grade team too, are they in? They're not. They
59:17
lost their quarterback a couple of weeks ago, so they lost him for the
59:22
year. A little bit of a knee issue that happened here in practice.
59:25
And they've got some great players. I know. Dorsey has taken over at
59:30
quarterback, but with Starkey and Dorsey in the backfield, well, I'm telling
59:32
you really really tough. So now that and Dorsey's doing a great job at
59:37
quarterback, it's just you know, I mean, when you lose one of
59:39
your stats that you know, I mean, it hurts. They've had a
59:43
tough schedule too. They played defending champ Dorsey's first start played well against them,
59:49
but you know they I don't think that team has allowed anybody score on
59:52
them in the last three years. And then last week they played Verdigris,
59:57
which is a really good football team as well. So uh yeah, have
1:00:00
you done any film analysis for them or no? Just why no? Just
1:00:04
just I can though. Okay, well we'll yeah, reach out to coach
1:00:07
Revard if you need some. Yeah, we've got a big week this week.
1:00:12
Sure, big week. Yeah, we played Muskogee as well on Saturday,
1:00:15
so common opponent here in Bartosa. Oh boy. We won forty seven
1:00:20
to nothing last week versus Wagner. I thought the kids played really well.
1:00:22
It probably helped that coach Kane and coach Tator up in Canada duck hunting.
1:00:27
Yeah, we did the first time that really I could kind of take sure,
1:00:30
but sure of old school on sure my goodness. Yeah, but yeah,
1:00:35
the boys have played well we know it's at stake. If we win,
1:00:37
we're in. I mean, that's what it comes down to. So
1:00:39
no better position than being are you juiced about you know, forty eight degrees
1:00:44
and whining? Oh yeah, it's rain, used the nighthawk. Yeah.
1:00:49
We the parents said, are we not practicing because it's rain? I said,
1:00:51
we are practicing in the rain because that's going to be raining on Saturday,
1:00:53
So we are. Unless it's lightning, we are outside. You got
1:00:57
your cap out talking about the rain on Saturday because I do have a win.
1:01:01
Well, it's not gonna good luck. Okay, thank you, it's
1:01:05
good luck for a wink. All right, guys, appreciate it. Great
1:01:07
show. Hey coach for getting the playoff. Good luck to all area teams.
1:01:14
Thanks coach. Yeah you got it.
