  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Any Show. I am
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: John Huff joined by Roman Bishop. It is almost that
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: time of the year again where the high school football
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: season begins. Because Illinois is now starting a week earlier
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: than Missouri and we're primarily Missouri state based podcast here
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in the great city of Saint Louis.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We're calling this week week zero.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We do have some games coming up, but also some
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: jam of rees and we'll get to them. But first off,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in this episode, we're going to talk about conference previews,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: who we think is the best and what uh you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: know what we who's the best in each conference and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: who lines up good and who are some contenders and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: give like some small previews to teams and that's what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to get into today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Roman.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: This is always the most exciting time of the year
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'd like to say Thanksgiving, Christmas and playoffs, but oh,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this is it right here.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: It's funny because you know, you get to these holidays
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: that are fun, like Thanksgiving and Christmas in the fourth
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: July and all, and you know opening day for Amilbus
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: always fun. But what's always slept on is the start
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: of the high school football season, and I don't know why.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I forget about it every I forget about how fun
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: it is every year. I don't know why. But when
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: this time comes around, I'm like, man, I get so excited.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get so excited each year too. Like you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: think you get older and you get more used to it,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: but I just I think it's what's actually really cool.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's like you kind of seem to understand it more,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, you learn more each year about you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: little things, and yeah, it just, yeah, it means more
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: each year.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That's how I've always interpreted it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: For me. It just means more.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it honestly hasn't. So we'll get right into it
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: with the conference previews. We'll start with the one which
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is the cream of the crop and that in the area,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and that's the MCC, the Metro Catholic Conference. It still is,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: although the Suburban Yellow has a strong shot for them
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: as well because that I can't wait to talk about them.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But the MCC is always is is a lot of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fun and extremely competitive.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So I thought I muted my laptop. There we go.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that, guys. I have some friends.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I have some friends of the Cardinals Cubs game and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they've had a really good, great time at RIGA. People
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: obviously got to see Joshua bia is a set of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: major league record. Okay, so we didn't exactly write these down.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: We can kind of well, like we don't have to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: speak for each other.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We can have our own little rankings and compare them.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But for me, I think the favorites to start the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: season out is the Smett Spartans because they return a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: boatload of experience, lots of starters. I believe that's about sixteen, Yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: sixteen starters, and like I said, a lot of a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: lot of guys last year who aren't returning starters, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they had plenty of reps in games. Their offense is
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: going to be led by Cam Sharp at running back
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and then Ridge James, who's feels like he's been around
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a long time. He's still only a junior, it feels
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like he's been around forever because like we've been hearing
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about him even before he took a snap as a freshman,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: because he was already getting recruited by a lot of teams.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's those two guys leading the way. Those
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: are the two big names. And then Cam's younger brother Kayden.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He's not a returning starter, but he will be a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: big time player for the Spartans.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: He allowed of snaps last year, it wasn't a starter
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: of the whole year. He was definitely a producer.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: He was in fact, well, his given name is Cayden,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: but his nickname is Rocky Sharp, and I considerably like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that name more so.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: We'll call him Rocky Sharp now.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had I think he had two touchdowns against
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Cardinal Ritter last year and had numerous long plays that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he was a part of.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Roy Sertsey is a returning receiver for them. He saw it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And then another name to watch in the twenty twenty
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: eight class for the SeMet is.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Cash Lucius, who's a six to four receiver.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You know, he got a lot of reps last year
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And then their quarterback.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You might be wondering who's gonna be their quarterback, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it's gotta be Chase Cooper.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Who's about six'. Two he's a.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Junior got he Got he had a decent snaps last.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Year in games as.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Well but you, know he's he's had a little bit
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of fan fare as far as just being another noticeable
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: prospect in the twenty twenty eight. Class And i'll say
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this right, NOW i think this spt's got the best
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight class in the. State you, know as
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: far as just the amount of numbers they have standout
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: players and it's it's a lot for, them and, so you,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: KNOW i really think this is a this could be
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a really good two year run for them right. Here
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and it's been A i mean ever since Coach merrett's been.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: THERE i, mean they have been on a run it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: ever since he's been. There they went three straight years
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: in the final. Four last year not so, GOOD i,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: mean BUT i thought they ended on a somewhat of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a bright.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Note either they.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Did they could have you, know fallen apart last year
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: for the first part of their, schedule but they continue,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: to especially, offensively just to fight every single.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Game, yeah that was really.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Good Off their defense was their, problem big, weakness so
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they got to they got to get better at. That
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: they would return a good amount of starters there and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: some guys with position changeses like Recent, meriwether he was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: offensive end but now he's a linebacker for them.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: There so AND i just think they just needed to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: get a little.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Older they just they had a lot of LIKE i,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: said a lot of sophomores, play a lot of juniors,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: play and not a ton of seniors. There but now
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that they're an older, team they're gonna be really. Strong,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: however you can never Doubt Scott pingle AT. CBC i
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: THINK cbc The cadets are a close, second which is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and usually they're the.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Favorites that's the standard they've.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Set but this year it just with the amount of you, know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: STARTERS cbc lost compared to how much and many returners
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that the smet. Has ultimately it is about The jimmy's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and The, joe's BUT cbc they got a lot of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: pretty solid players as, well coming out of Like Isaiah
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: thomas is their only returning star on on on on,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: offense but they also have another he's he's a, receiver
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: but they have another really good. Receiver And kingston McPike
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: who Is he did not play last, year but you
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: may have heard of him. Before he used to be
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: At North point and he was a starter for them
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: there as a.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Freshman but now he's he's AT cbc and so.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Him And thomas are going to FORM i think a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: really good duo and they have some other pretty good players,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: too Like Josh beasley at defensive back on.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Defense he has an offer From wisconsin.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: There as well a few other GUYS i know we
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: featured in the, past but Like Cole rivers And Gabe,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wilson they're.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Both back at.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Linebacker uh they have a brand new offensive line and then, uh.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: You, know brand new running backs and.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Quarterbacks And i've Heard i've heard a lot of good
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: things About dale And Austin, harvey who's a junior quarterback for,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: them and Then franklin McGuinty is another quarterback for them.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Too he's a he's a. Captain so it'll be interesting
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to see, how you, know who's gonna get snaps. There
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna they're gonna start out and split both
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: ways and not so, Sure but, NO i THINK i
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think The cadets are gonna be, fine at least.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: LOCALLY i, mean they're gonna have they have a tough.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Schedule we talked about it and you know on the last,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: podcast and, uh, yeah so they're gonna be challenged as
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: well all season as they always, are and they're gonna
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: challenge everybody.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Else SO i don't, know do you.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that those those first two.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Spots.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: UH i, mean obviously it's it's to hourist race here
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: as it usually is BETWEEN cvc and THIS. Met AND
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: i think the biggest thing for THE SeMet defense is
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: their front, seven and, uh Just i'd love to see
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: how much stronger and faster they got over the off,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: season because you've got guys that already had these reps
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: and no longer really have the pressure to perform because
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: they know the spots, theirs but they've just grown into
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: their bodies and gotten stronger and faster like last because
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: last year you had guys that were deacently talented on
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: THE smet, defense but just couldn't physically hang with the big,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: boys especially on other offensive lines LIKE cbc And Cardinal. Ritter,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: yeah so it did very interesting to see the athleticism
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: of De smet's front. Seven SO i think that's going
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: to affect a lot this year for, them and that
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: as FOR, cbc as you, said you have trust. Coach
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: have to trust Coach Scott, pingle and he has The
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: jimmies And joe's and he can draw the nose up,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Too So i'm sure that whatever offense he figures out
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: for that, team it's gonna work. WELL i mean because
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: even though they returned so, little they're one of THE
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: cbc is one of those teams in our. Area it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: kind of like A georgia where their backups are better
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: than almost everyone else's. Starters so even then they're gonna be. Okay,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: yeah BUT i wouldn't sleep too much on a. SLOUGH i,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: MEAN i don't think they're gonna win the, conference BUT
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: i Think sluke could have another very good. SEASON i
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: think they. WILL i don't know if their defense is
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: going to be as amazing as it was last, year
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: but they should still be a pretty solid.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Team i'm banking on their defense to be the biggest
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: strength of their team.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Though, AGAIN i, mean they got to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Bring back a lot of their defensive. Backs that's.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Huge, yeah their best Players Anthony Anthony, busby junior at.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Linebacker he's one of the. BEST i think he's one
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of the best linebackers in the entire state and he's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Only he's only a, Junior so we gotta we've alreadyname
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: dropped a lot of twenty twenty eight kids and it's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: just been three teams, Here so we got a really
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: good class here In Saint. Louis and Then tyle lig
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is a real good defensive. End he's really.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Fast and Then John romela he's a safety for. Them
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: he's a committed To Northern.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Illinois SO i THINK i think they got some three,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: capable very very good players on each level of their
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: defense right. There and then, offensively they're a little younger on.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Offense Tyler, cosminski he's a solid, receiver he's one of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the better, ones and another good. Junior he's a, Receiver
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Henry fitzpatrick at tight. End and THEN i really Like
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Kaden ellebie as a guard for. Them he's a returning
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: starter and did a pretty solid job for.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Them and then their.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Quarterback has got to be He's john's younger. Brother It's Patrick.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Ramella he's a sophomore for, them AND i like to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: look at. HIM i think he can be a pretty
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: good quarterback when it's all said and. Done he probably
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he's probably got to, have you, know a few growing
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: pains early on in the season because he's a. Sophomore
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but you, know he looks the. PART i THINK i
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: like his he's GOT i like his, athleticism he's got
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a good.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: ARM i got to see him a handful of.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Times he's good at throwing on the, run and he's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: seems like he's calm under. Pressure and this is like
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: eleven eleven. Scrimmages i'm not just talking about seven on.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Seven SO i think they'll be fine with him, THERE
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: i really. DO i don't think it's gonna be a you,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: know LIKE i don't think passing the ball is going
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to be such a huge. Concern it's just but overall
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: like they're not AS i don't think there's explosive offensively
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: as they were last, year so that that's really where
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: they might be lacking some. Guys although they do have
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a six foot six sophomore Receiver Tristan, johnson who's GOT
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: i think he's already got TEN d one offers for them,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: too so they they definitely got some youngins in their
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: system for. Sure and then another sophomore Is Graham. Gear
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he's a guy who's gonna BE i, think really active
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: on defense FOR. Slew he's in, fact THEY i think
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be like the one newcomer for them in their.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Secondary so, YEAH i.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Mean Romela gear and Then johnsoner three sophomore is for
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: slew to look out.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: For and then and then there's the next two, Teams
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: shamandad And.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Viani you, know Shamanad is they've just they've comfortable ever
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. One they finished in fourth place every
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: year in in THE.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Mcc and Then.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Viannis they have not won AN mcc game since twenty.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Eighteen that's pretty shocking WHEN i mean that's eight years
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in eight seasons that since that's. Happened but you, Know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: seamana they have a new head coach, now they have
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they have some guys coming.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: BACK i, mean they have some good athletes coming.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: BACK i think, offensively like The Jamaron, barnes who's a
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: due threat. Quarterback you know he's split time last, year
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: but he's.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Gonna i've assume he's gonna take the full range.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Now and then they were a really good receiver In Isaac,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: hudson one of the better ones in the. Area he's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: about six three runs a four point five for forty yard.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Dash Donovan irvans another decent. Receiver they lost a lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of linemen, though and then on, defense, uh they lost some,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: guys BUT i really LIKE i like their defensive. Backs
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Clayton Clayton cole And Miles low and then they have
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: an all state or linebacker A Rondo. Irvings so they
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: got they got some, guys they got some stuff to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: work with, there but which is now, nice but you're
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in THE mcc and it's. Unforgiving, However Sean ma's gonna
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: be In class four this, season so that's where they
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: COULD i think they could potentially have some. Success and Then, Viannie,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: uh they're gonna be pretty, young but they do HAVE
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: i think a good amount of a decent amount of returning.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Experience Noah williams And Callie thomas or two receivers that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: had each had over five hundred.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Receiving yards for.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Them they returned three offensive, linemen, HOWEVER i think, yeah
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: two of them were also the two way starters on
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the line, though and then Like thomas is.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Also the starting defensive back for them too as.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Well and good news For viannie is that they do
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Return Robert death lieutenant running. Back he missed all of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: last season due to and an, injury but he was
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: decent looking running back as a, sophomore so they'll have
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they should have a decent running back and a good
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Decent Receiver. Corps one thing that's exciting about them is
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they have this fresh, Quarterback Harlan, futrelle so they'll they're
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: relying on a sophomore to be.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Their quarterback this.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Season so that's uh gonna be a big time baptism
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: baptism of fire like once he gets into THE.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Mcc but, UH i, Mean.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of good things about, him highly
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: rated coming, in but uh he's still a. Freshman AND i,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: mean the best Quarterback i've ever seen and looked the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: most comfortable as a freshman was capability At pattonville and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: he had AND i remember they started five and oh
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that year with him and they were A class five.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Team so.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: But uh, yeah so that's that's a pretty high bar right.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: There And Reagan andrew is another really good freshman. Quarterback
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he helped get MY CDs and the state championship In class.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Four AND i Just i'm not saying this to glaze,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: them BUT i JUST i just realized That ladi eliminated
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: both of those Teams pattonville and fifteen and MY CDs
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in twenty, Eighteen so.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Just just that came to my.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: MIND i don't apologize for that, though BUT i got
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: so LOOK i got de Smet at, ONE cbc, TWO slew,

• 14:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go ahead with shotting out at four And vianni.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Five BUT i Think vianni they're definitely making strides. THOUGH
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: i mean they, were oh, man they were a two
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: point conversion away from winning A DiscT championship last year
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: In class, four and so they're getting closer that they're
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: they're they're young, again they don't have a whole lot
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of senior, starting but they're they're definitely a lot more.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Competitive than they were just a few years.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Ago, yeah all, right let's hit on over to The Southwestern.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Conference got to mention the. Favorites, first The East Louis.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Flyers they bring back the most recognizable. NAMES i would,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: say Uh Myn Johnson cook lit it up last. Year
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: he got the first touchdown of the season last year
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: for The Singuis area teams Against Buren catholic Of New.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Jersey his his speed is, unbelievable especially when.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: He first size breaks an open.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Space, yeah it really isn't. Incredible and Then Ronnie gilmiller
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: we mentioned last year a lot incredible returner along with
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: being a good receiver as. Well and Then Ree shanklin OF.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Qb he's geting REPS qb for a couple of years.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Now he's been on varsity since he was a, freshman
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and he's been the. Start there's the second year as
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a starter for.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Them AND i feel like his sophomore year he also got.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Some he got.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Some, yeah he got he got. Some. Yeah but, yeah
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: he's had the keys of the offense for the last two.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Years AND i mean there's obviously when you're the quarterback
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: at Eas. St, louis there's gonna be a ton of
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: eyes on you and a lot of. Expectations but he
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: certainly got a great vast amount of wealth in terms
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of talent around him, Though so you, know obviously like
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a big offensive, LINE i, Mean, lois they got a
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: few really good junior linemen coming up for, them and this.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Is a class that you, know once they you, know all.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Kind of formed together really as sophomores and could see
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: what they. Had there's a lot of expectations on this
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: class to The Liver state, championship and, obviously you know
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they're coming off of a disappointing result to the end
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of the, season not winning, state losing The, fenwick but
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: their goal is to win a state.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Championship and we've discussed this.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: BEFORE i, mean they have a heck of an opportunity
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to you, know enforce their presence on the really the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Entire midwest if they can beat incredibly Good Mount carmel. Team,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: yeah that we'll talk about.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Later, yeah and they AND i also want to mention
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: they bring About Jabari, lofton who you COULD i would
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: say probably along WITH i GUESS i don't know of
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: their linebackers who would be like the captain of their.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Defense But Jamar lofton's making great players for a few years,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: now a defensive back and he's been one of their
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: key leaders on. DEFENSE i just want to mention.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Him, yeah he's really.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Good James bryan is another guy, linebacker And Mauri hogan
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit of an underrated, player but he's he's
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: going to HAVE i think a big season for. Them
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Caleb brown is a really good defensive tackled And Raheem.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Floyd he was a. Cornerback he's committed To.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Florida so, yeah very very very very elite secondary that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: The flyers have for the most, part all, right and THEN.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I would say it feels. Weird so here's the.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Thing Beverly east on paper looks better Than, edwardsville But
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: edwardsville hasn't lost.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: To Beverly east in quite a long.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Time even Though edwards will they don't return a whole
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: lot of guys And BEVERLY'S i, mean they're a really athletic.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: TEAM i Mean James johnson junior who's committed to The.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Miszoo Carrie willis is a solid receiver as well coming.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Back and then they returned three defensive Backs Brandon, Bush Kerry,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Willis Jordan, williams And killian Rash is a nice linebacker
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: for them. Too their their their new head coach was
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a Former he was THE i forget his, NAME i
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: apologize that he was the first ever head Coach Missouri
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: baptist and so this is his first year At Beverly
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: east and they got big. EXPECTATIONS i, mean he TOLD
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: stl today that they expect to win at least seven
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: games in the regular. SEASON i mean he said, that
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and but, HEY i mean shoot for the. Stars BUT
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: i think it's, doable you. Know but he did also
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: mention that like they they do want to win, conference
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: which IS i mean everybody, does, right but you Know
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: East Saint louis is, there so that's gonna you, know
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Easier seve than. Done but but, NO i think This
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: lanscer team is could be pretty. GOOD i, mean they've
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: they've been solid since twenty twenty. THREE i THINK i
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: really like what they've done. THERE i just think if
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: they're for, real, though they need to Beat they need
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to Beat. Edwardsville they need to beat a team who's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: they've almost beaten numerous times in the last handful of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: seasons as. Well SO i mean you can't really Say
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: edwardsville completely like totally dominates and owns, them but they
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: do have that long winning streak against. Them so At
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: edwardsville they RETURN i mean they returned like some good.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: PLAYERS i have seven returning starters.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: For, them so they just they're always, competitive but it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: been like they had a really good year in twenty
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: twenty three When Jake curry was their quarterback and Yose
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: apanessa was.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: A was a junior.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: There he was At iowa and Like CURRY'S i think
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: he was the starting quarterback AT Siu carbondale still IS
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: i should, say but but, yeah but since, then they've
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they've had two seasons where they just barely got into
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the play. Offs and even though they went four and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: five a year, ago they still got in because there
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was enough five win. Teams and now that since it's
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: easier to get into the playoffs, NOW i would Imagine
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: edwardsville will BECAUSE i, mean, yeah they would have to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: basically GO i think four to one or really just
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: if they win three games in, conference they should that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: should probably be enough for.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Them, yeah just how it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Goes but and by the, way we should mention that
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: for the since The Southwestern conference has expanded to uh.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah it's two divisions, now.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Expanded it's expanded to ten teams With triad And mascuita coming.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: In so The Gold Conferences, Alton Double, East Double, West,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: East Saint.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Louis And. Edwardsville and then IF i have that, RIGHT
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: i THINK i have that.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Right and then The Black conference Is, Collinsville Granite, City, moscuita.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: O'Fallon And.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: TRIAD i THINK i have that, Right, YEAH i Think, So,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: OKAY i could be.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: WRONG i.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Could i'm Not i'm not convinced that of found's in that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Conference but, anyway, yeah SO i, yes this would technically
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: be like a like A Swc Gold.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Conference a little preview, then but Obviously East.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: St louis number one talent, Wise i'll pick bever least Over.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Edwardsville SO i got bell least, Two edwardsville, three and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Then BELL i would Say Bello west.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Four And.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Alton five right. There, yeah and then.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: For The Black, CONFERENCE i Think i'll go a triad
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: just because they've they've been they've been, solid you know
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: over the.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Years you, Know, moscuitas they got some.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: TALENT I Sean murphy's coming, back and then they have
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a really they actually have a really good edge rusher
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: who's a, Sophomore Cameron. Case he's got he's already getting
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: some college. Looks he's six four as an edge. Rusher
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: SO i think they got some decent prospects in THE.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Scuta and THEN i think o'found could be pretty. GOOD i,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: mean now that they don't have to play against like
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: all these other really tough, TEAMS i think you go
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: down play like somewhat of a lesser.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Division IT'S i think they can win some games. There
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: and then you, Know Collinsville Granite.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: City will just kind of BE i don't know what
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: they're going to look like, ultimately but you, Know Grant,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: city it's just they just have not been good for a.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: While collinsville they've been they've been so.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Much more competitive than these last like four, years but
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they're usually good for like five or six.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Wins and then, yeah so there you have. It that's my.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Take all, right let's shift gears and head over to
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the suburban. Conferences we will start with The Suburban. Yellow,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: yeah and coming into the, year this could be one
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: of the best years The Suburban yellow has had quite a.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: While just from top to.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Bottom there's not going to be an easy game and
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: there's going to.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Be a good game every week because you looked like
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you look at some of the teams, Like, Okay marquette
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: was in last place last, Year well that's because they
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: had eighteen, injuries eleven of them being season, ending and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: then they've had needed and then so then silver aligning
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: for this season is they had they needed seventeen underclassmen
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to step up last year who would not have, started
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and then they have a decent amount coming back, already
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and then they really like their sophomore class they, Have
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have some, starters some sophomore starters play just
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: because they're just that. Talented AND i Think marquet's gonna
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: be good. Again they really. Are and and THEN i
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: guess we'll start WITH i kind of got like a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: ONE a and a ONE b. Favorite it's like It's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: eureka And. Kirkwood. Eureka they've for the last two seasons
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: they've led the conference in, defense AND i mean there's
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a good shot they do it again because they return
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: six on six on, defense Including noaan, McCollum who's one
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: of the best defensive LINEMEN i think in the entire.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: State six', four, kid big.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Big dude he's been a three year starter, for them
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and then he's, every year and then he's been a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: four year letterman.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: On Varsity luke.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Serrata is, a linebacker and So Is. Ben moheski those
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: are two guys are gonna be pretty Good than colin
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Swingleh who's drew's, younger brother who's the, you know their
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: center for a few. Years ago he's Out. Linen wood
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: he's a pretty good defensive end For. The wildcats and,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: then offensively they returned three linemen And Including michael wurgis
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: who's a sophomore and he he's already GETTING some d.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: One attention he's six five. For, him so and then
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: at Running back eureka. They returned They Have brandon webb
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: who's returning after an alright Season. For eureka and then
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: they have another good running back didn't get a whole
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: lot of didn't get a whole.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Lot, of reps but His Name's.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Curtis harris but he's definitely got a factor in For
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the wildcats of. This SEASON so i think him and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Him and webb could be like a nice little duo.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: For THEM and i think they they're probably gonna utilize
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: like multiple running backs more than they usually.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Do so.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And they're still having a, quarterback battle by, the WAY
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: so i don't think that's it's all for.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Sure THERE so i think they might Have A.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Patrick kushchraff was a really good quarterback for them. Last
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: year he was, really PRODUCTIVE so i don't think they're
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be as good there because he was like six' three,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: all the passer he.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Could run a little. Bit, as Well so And garrett
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: anders is. Back at receiver he was there their.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Leading main receiver even though their leading Receiver Was was
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: craig ringy. At tight END so, that's i mean there's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: still it's gonna be A pretty, typical eureka team really.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: REALLY tough schedule i think they they.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Have the toughest they might have the toughest schedule in
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the state for. A, public school.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah on paper.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: And you'll go BACK to, THE qb DISCUSSION i think
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: i Would trust coach sumner to whoever. HE has there
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: i think that they have to not put too much
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: on him because we we We see this rieka offense
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: for the. Past several years obviously, between the tackles run the,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: ball heavy offense but a lot of times with the
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: play actions they run in the situations they, run them
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: in IT requires the qb to make a really. Good
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: throw downfield so it's gonna be interesting to see what
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: positions he puts his quarterbacks. In THIS year but i would,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: trust him, to you know play, his TEAM straight because
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: i feel Like with the eureka offense, in previous years
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: it's never REALLY been the qb BLOWING it the qb.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Not doing enough it's usually JUST been the qb, doing
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: a good responsible job because he's not putting over, his
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: head yeah when you hear well could have been because
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: you know a lot of outside sources Get mad at
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: erika's offense from being you know what's boring because they're
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: won the. Ball too, much, it's like no that's how. Footballsh,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: we played yeah it's like they they use their personnel the.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Best They can so i'm CONFIDENT that. Their QB situations
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: And I.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: LIKED zach kim i got to see him last year
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: in like, at various CAMPS and then I liked what
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: i saw with. HIM this, SUMMER i mean i don't
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: know if he's going to be the, starter OR not
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: BUT i just i think they have something to work.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: With with him like, HE'S five ten.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I think, he's not big but, he's he's quick he's got,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a quick release and he's he's an.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Accurate passer and.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: He CAN run so i think that would that works well.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: With their, Offense all Right. Next is kirkwood they don't
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: have a ton. Of returning starts they returned about.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Ten guys Overall They Returned travis Shores Junior, and boding mansfield,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Both AT receivers so i think they're gonna be just
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: about all set there and that they're always a, loaded,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: at receiver right probably this is the first year and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a little while that they don't have like a big
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: time feature. Receiver like that not they don't Have Like
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a larry Robinson Or. A jacob eberhart they they don't have.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Guys like that but they're just fine. With their depth and,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: then on defense they returned. But Six Starters the danta
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: darry is a, good defensive Tackle And then frank luck
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: at the fourth is a he's a. Pretty from whatever
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: he's pretty highly, rated at cornerback and, like you know
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: we've talked about him.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: A few times he.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Featured him here so they're always coached. Well on defense
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and then they had got A transfer from Indiana And.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Named benji rice He's A committed MISSOURI state and i
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: think he'll play both ways at running back in linebacker's.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: He's built well and they got they got a few other,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: transfers as WELL so, like i think you know that that's.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Certainly helped them and THEN from what i understand AND
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: from what I can, tell nick too she will. Be
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: their quarterback he's about six, to two pounds he throws.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: A good ball he just looks like. A varsity.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Quarterback RIGHT now AND i mean I was at kirkwood's practice,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the OTHER day AND i Mean i, heard macklin say
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: like offense. One and two, She Was there so i'm
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: just connecting the dots. A little, BIT but NO i
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: think i think it's gonna Be a. Typical kirkwood team
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe not like an elite. Team some YEARS but
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: but i still at the end, of, THE year LIKE
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: i think i, could see, them you know if they're
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: in it's kind of understood that they there's a really
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: good chance they'll Be back in class. Six this season
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: but if if that's what they, HAVE to do i
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: can see them being a really tough Out For like
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: DE smetter or cbc if they're going to be in,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that same district which probably.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: They, Will be.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah So that's the Pioneers and then lafayette they, Lost
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: They lost a.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: LOT of, guys i mean they had a really good run,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: from you know twenty twenty three through.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty, Five you Know kurt mel i did.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: An unbelievable, job last, year you know going undefeed in
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the regular SEASON and then i mean going DOWN swinging against,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: cbc last year losing seventy seven to SIXTY.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Two at cbc but they return. A few guys one
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: guy to look Out For.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Is cody keen he, is a guy he's a returning
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: started at running back or rush for over.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Nine hundred yards he's a guy that they're going to
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: use in a.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Lot OF ways like i don't think he may not.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Leave the field so he's definitely gonna be. LIKE their,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: workhorse i mean they're they're. Excited For Him and xavion
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: adams is a cornerback and he's going to play both ways.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: As a RECEIVER and what i, saw at practice it
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is like they got a decent. Looking receiving cord they
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: still play at a fairly. Quick pace level their offensive line.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They look big doesn't mean they're going, to be good
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: but they got some, strength UP there and.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I think they're.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: GONNA be okay i think they'll, be ALL right and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: i think they will be a tough app for every team.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: In this, CONFERENCE you know i was a little down
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: on them before the seas and just because they lost
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a lot, of guys NATURALLY but like i, remember saying that,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: like you know they could start, five AND one and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: i think there's a really good chance they.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Do that now so. That's my take what do you
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: think about these?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: First three teams they've been the main stage that, they've
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: been at like the top three continuously for like the, last.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: You, know several years and like all the.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Conferences, they're, in yeah, uh you know. They HAVE been
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and i think EACH team's schedule i think fits. Them
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: pretty well as You mentioned your eureka's got a really
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: difficult schedule. Out of conference I'll pull up KIRKWOOD just
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: like i can refresh. Myself on It but then lafayette
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: they pretty MUCH play a gac schedule. Out, of conference
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: yeah like they Play.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: They host timberland or they Go They play.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Timberland, Week One yeah so kirkwood they. Play written there
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: that should be, a solid game kirk. Would you win
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that's a solid team To play.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Week that'd Be a good, week one game, by the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: way and.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: They play with. Ease weak two so that's two Of
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the better. Suburban.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: CONFERENCE teams yeah i would say those are two top.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Fifteen.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Suburban teams Yeah and then Lafayette they Played timberland and
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: liberty in the week one weeks. One, and two yeah
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: And fortunately for Lafayette they played eureka and in the
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: final two weeks of the, season at home so they
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: get to really hopefully progress of their season well to
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Where if if lafayette just improves week to week as
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: most teams do over the, course OF season and i
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: think they should be in. A good spot and that's
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: gonna be great because it'll just be more pressure on
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: those games later, in the year which you know for
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: us as fans in the, media is, fun yeah, obviously
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: but yeah it should be very, interesting and yeah it
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: should be should be. A good watch, and then obviously,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: As you mentioned marquette bringing back a ton because of
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: their injuries last year allowed guys to step into rules
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: that they. Maybe didn't expect but two teams. Haven't mentioned
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: yet First one Being. Rock with summit they have a
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: lot lined up on defense especially that looks REALLY intimidating
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: and i think they can, make some noise especially with
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: the front seven just stop.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: The, inside, run yeah there this is A highly, rated
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: i mean they're they're really excited what what they, have
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: on defense and even tell to a few coaches, who
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: you know, they opposing coaches and they're really high on their.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Defense As Well like mason cosso had nine interceptions last
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: year to leave.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: The entire.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Area He's back anthony wilson, has been Good And then
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Aiden Dowley and jackson cornett are two. Really solid linebackers
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and then there's a really good, Two Way. Player landon
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: martin he's he'll be used as a tight end and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: then he's also a strong, Safety there too, and SO
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: yeah they're i would say they're definitely they're linebackers and secondary.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Are really good probably this could be potentially the Best
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Defense that eric stewarts had his time at His, time
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: at summit which says a lot because they've had some.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: PRETTY good defense i remember in twenty twenty two.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: They had a. Really good defense quarterback.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Is McCoy brown he was split time Last Year with
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: chase bengerw WHO'S Now. At Img academy so brown gets,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the JOB now but i think he's got some stuff.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: TO work, with i Mean He's, got kendall young who's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a three year starting running Back. For the falcons and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: then they have they returned two Tight ends In Fuchs,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and brady wirik and then they have a Really good
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: junior another twenty twenty eight mentioned another Junior Tackle, is
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: devin walker and he's been a, three year starter so
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: he's been as soon as he stepped, foot on campus.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: He's been, STARTING so YEAH i, THINK i think i.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: MEAN maybe not i don't know like how how like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: fast and, athletic.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: They are but this is still definitely a.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Physical summit team and they have a good quarterback and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a good running back to work with and a pretty.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Pretty GOOD defense so i think that's a good.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Formula for. Success.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah so they Open up with festus and
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that'd be that'd be a big.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Test, early on, yeah for, sure last Governor. At least
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: lindbergh they've had some offensive struggles, in PREVIOUS years but
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: i think with the guys, they bring back which is almost,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: THEIR entire offense i think They're gonna open they're gonna
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: open it up a little bit more this year and.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: DEFINITELY a, THREAT i mean i wouldn't say they're most
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: people's favorite, win the conference but it really wouldn't surprise me,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: if they, win you know three conference. Games this year that's,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: that's very possible which hasn't.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Happened. FOR them, yeah i mean, they're they're physical that's their.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Brand of football They're The coach nathan norman has done
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a Great, job at lindberg and it's been a While
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: since he's, they've had guys they've had a lot, of
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: returning Starters But like kolbe bangert was their starting, quarterback
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: LAST year and i mean he was he had to.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Do a lot he he ran the, ball a, lot
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: you know a lot was asked of them as a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: thrower and. As a runner just. With Some Injuries and
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: kevin fisher he's he's back. At running back he's about,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: like five seven. But he's Quick And then Carter Holmes.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And jack palite polite's a really. Good baseball Player And,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: THEN carter holmes i think has been a three year,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: starter for Them And then john calcaterra is back at tight,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: end for them and they have another tight end as,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: well his back and then the return. Three starting, alignement
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: on defense they're they're really good on Defense Potentially with
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: jameson HONEY who's a d one to Defensive End and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: casey williamson has been a, three Year starter and, polites
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: at Linebacker And then noah norman is At linebacker and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: norman he'll play some running back, As well too So
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: he's been norman's been a three year starter, at running
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: back and Then you got Holmes and then kingston.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Coach AT cornerback so.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I think This, i mean linburg they're usually not the,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: most athletic team but they're always physical. And well coached
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna. BE really interesting i mean Because they've,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: beaten kirkwood before they beat them a, few years AGO and,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: like i know they've Been, competitive with, lafayette but man
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of these it's it's really tough to, pick
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: a conference like a clear cut preseason number one.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: In this conference it's.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: It's really, DIFFICULT so WELL i Guess i gotta i'll
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: start that off out just because they're always.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Well coached and they, have the athletes and they.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Got some transfers I'll go with kirkwood as, my PRESEASON favorite.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And i did they are ranked out of, all these
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: teams and MY.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Preseason rankings i do have them ranked as the highest
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: technically out.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Of These teams so i'm. Going WITH that it's i
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: think a. LOT can HAPPEN i love i love it
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: at the conference.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Is like That, i'll pick eureka and you know these
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: two these two Teams play At eureka, in week five
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: so that should. Be very, interesting.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: And Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: THAT'S especially, eureka, i mean honestly No matter how eureka's
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: first four, GAMES work out I think that week five
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: game could be is going to. Be, a dogfight yeah
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Because you, MENTIONED eureka's, schedule i mean Get, The, Got, Troy, Hannibal, Parkway, North,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: summit Kirkwood, Marquette. Dulaf at limberg there's not a single
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: gimme game on the SCHEDULE for any I. MEAN for,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: eureka i mean let, me rephrase that there's not a
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: single easy game. On, the, schedule youreka definitely you know
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: there's there's teams on here that they definitely. Should should beat,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: but you know, top to bottom you know there are
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: there are no. Cupcake, games here no this is all
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: very solid programs are.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Going to play there could be there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Could be a night Where like like Marquette. Could beat
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: eureka i'm not saying it's, going TO happen and I
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: think it's i think it's only happened.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: At one Time we've seen we've seen stuff like this
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: happened before where it's a suburban it's a suburban division
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: and the team coming into the game as the number
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: one of the standings losing to the number four team,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: in the, STANDINGS it happens.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I think you. Could be crazy you can potentially have
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: a number one losing.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: To, number, six yeah yeah like you Could have A
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: lindberg beat kirkwood, or you know something like something. Crazy like,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: that but like but it's not Out of the it's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: not out of. The question though that's that's Kind of.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: What i'm, saying ALL.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Right let's si throw it To the suburban red another really,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: solid conference here. Really really solid Actually he's with central His, What, He's, Parkley,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: north Pattonville. RITTNER and secman i mean THESE are all
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: i mean outside Of, His with central i'll give the
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: five teams have all had really solid seeds over the.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Past, few years yeah it's kind of like it feels Like,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: a suburban north but then you then you put.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Segment, in, there yes.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah it's kind OF Like the nfc East, Having the
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Eagles giants and redskins all the all up there And
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: then the cowboy is just, way down south way away
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: exactly kind.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Of, like that yeah this.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Is, a conference where, by the way everybody besides his
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: essential has. Their, Quarterback RETURNING interesting.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: So i guess.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: My, preseason, pick okay yeah my preseason number One. Here
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: is pattville they moved Down From. The suburban yellow they
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: again would have been a really key big Player In
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the suburban yellow if they. Were still there but this
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: is a team who is coming Off of A class six.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Final four run.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: They Returned, back trevor, beckerman who like if his career
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: pans out the way his, stats are going he's got
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: to end up as one Of the best patball players
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: of all time, because he's projected.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Says a LOT he's projected i think.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Throw for like ten thousand yards.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: In, His career wow, because he's alright he's alright three
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: one and he broke the school record for seeing passing.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Yards that season he's got his two Slot Receivers back
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: gilbert lakeen the Third And then kingston robertson and Then
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: also ben heimsoth, at tight end so he's already got
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: some good things. To work with and then he's Got
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: He's got Evan Bryant at caleb thomas h to guys
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: name if you in, their offensive line and on defense
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they don't. Return As much andre jefferson is a good
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Defensive back and joshler.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Is also, Pretty good, too so yeah so THEY got
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: but i LIKE what the i saw of.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Them ON defense when i got to see him their
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: scrimmage against Like We dooo. Luther north McClure though they
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: fly to the ball well and they're just they're athletic all,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: over the, place and YEAH this is i still think
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they're going to get tested. In this conference, But for
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: me i'm pretty confident with that preseason number one. Pick
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: right there it's been a Long time since pattonville's want,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: a conference championship, by THE way but i think this
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: is their best chance in a long time because this is,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Easily the best like it's it's always so hard, to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: win conference like for a.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Long Time the suburban north which, they were, in and
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: yeah BUT this is i think this is. Their best
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: team this deck aid coming, in AND yeah so i
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: think they got a good. Shot at it and then
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: you Know.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Their rivals written ARE Bring Back qb anthony Odom And,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: receiver montue banks and they bring back through their guys in,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: the front seven so they don't bring. Back too much
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: but uh the Last, few years written he has uh
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: reloaded pretty well in the positions. They've, had to yeah and,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: they've just, shown you know even though they haven't gotten
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: done Against, the rivals patentvil they've they've been less shaky
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: in pressure situations like we've seen them. In previous, seasons so.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know if they're going to win, a
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: conference championship they're going to have To go through patville
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and that's been a really difficult time for them to
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: ultimately come out with a. Win against them, BUT you
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: know i really Like odom and banks is returning, leading
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Receiver There and khalil cottage is a solid, linebacker for
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: them and they.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Got some guys coming.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: In as well they HAD a good jv, team last
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: YEAR so they'll i definitely trust they'll have good pieces
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: around around, the you know some of their key players
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: because like all of them was probably their best player last.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Year on their.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: On their Team And, Then, parkway north, uh you know
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: We have a class four quarter.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Finalist right.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Here they return they got some interesting guys on offense,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: coming back again not a ton, of returning starters but
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: They do Have kenny on bolden back who was their
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback. A year ago he's a dual. Threat for
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Them And then alex harvey was probably. Their best, athlete
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: he's back And So is bryce glasby and They don't
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: return they only returned one STARTER on, their o Line Which.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Is will arnold so that's it's always tough to bring,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: to you know get four, new returning stars especially, for
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: you Know team like north who's not like they don't
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: have it usually have a. TON of depth i mean
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: they usually do have enough and, good athletics athleticism so
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: they mean they're going to. FIGURE that Out i like tyree,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: McKinney at Linebacker And then patrick pierce's. Their Defensive Tackle
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: then Jalen Williams and alex harvey and defensive Back and and,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Glassby as well so they returned the return most.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Of THEIR secondary so i know you you're very high
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: on Coach Odenwall, At parkway north.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: SO SEL am i i mean, he's he's won he's
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: really turned turned that program around again since twenty twenty
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: one and really.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Not look back, but uh yeah We'll see what we'll
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: see what.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Happens FOR them like i DON'T think they're i don't
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: think they'll ultimately. WIN the conference i think they were
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: like right around that two or. Three threshold area and,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: it's tough TOO but like i Really, like Besides Patville,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Like east North, RITTNER and secment i think it all
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: beat up.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: On each other hey don't Sleep, ON second no i
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: mean at. Times they will they bring BACK. Road to
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: qbqb he had a pretty solid, year last year so
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: we'll see if he.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Keeps, THAT up Yeah i mean seckon when they went
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: seven and three, a year ago didn't win. A playoff
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: game but and, this is finally like this is their
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: toughest schedule they've had in a really long time because
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: they're in a pretty good conference, now and uh you
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: know they're they're and but they add to it though
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: they're there's still gonna be. A tough team they're going
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to play a brand of football, that you know nobody else,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: has really Seen maybe Besides hazel at east because they
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: they they they played nice triple options. Under center, offense But,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah They're yeah brody cube he's gonna. Get the ball
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: he can pass a.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Little Bit too evan holford is a Nice.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Center for seckman and Then, UH like Jackson, I, Like
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Jackson ruttligion ellie burns on.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Defense for, them so.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah They're, gonna be okay they don't have a ton,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: of returning stars. But they do they do rotate a
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: lot of guys there and Then Next to hazeled east
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Where They Returned tys trunk. Tillman the quarterback they graduated a.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Lot of guys but having seen, some you know heard some,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: information about them like they they have some pretty good
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: receivers coming in and so they they have a lot
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: of guys to replaced because that was the. Class they
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: had the twenty twenty sixth class they had was incredible
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: for them because they won every year and they won
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of. Games every year, but you know it's.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Just about rebuilding but they're COACHED well and i think
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: they'll be competitive in every game. They, play, in so
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: man this is gonna be. SO tough, PREDICTED i mean
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: i got patent though winning it and then.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: At one, BUT like, There i mean.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I'll Be Tested, by hazel east to Be, tested by
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: north The test by.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Writtener that we Be.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Tested by secment so, but, if they yeah they can
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: win that conference, and go undefeeded that that would be
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: really good For for pat will. To do that, BUT
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: a man i don't like who's? Gonna finish second that's
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: honestly a lot harder for me to say, who's gonna
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: win who's, gonna be first because it could Be Any
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Of east north britain and segment, In, my opinion yeah it.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Should be fun to. Watch, work out yeah let's Go With.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: The suburban green now we gotten a very different conference
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: this year If we Got Fox, His, Wold, West, LaDue
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Parkway central Parkway West. And riverview gardens the first thing
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: that sticks out is just how many guys that? Do
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: Brings back so i'm. NOT really, sure i mean this
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: should just be so interesting To See because la dube
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: is usually in The, conference with lindberg who Was, Like
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: them Fox lindbergh And, Written And summit so i'm not
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: sure how it worked, Out best way but lads are. Really, good,
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: space yeah well.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: REALLY good spot i think what probably should have happened
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: was like the last two years that you probably should
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: have Been In, the suburban green and then like now that,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: they're really good it would be it would make more.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Sense for them to Be. In the red let's see.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: You On your emma. Macintosh come back. He Could Be
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: didn't jack hensley get most of these?
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Naps last?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Year he was but there's two THINGS here so i
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: do count returning starters as players who started, in different
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: positions but if, THEY change him i still count them.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: As returning starters and if you.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Go back two years ago and McIntosh did start five,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: games a quarterback so. That ALSO counts and i think
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: McIntosh is GONNA have an i think it will have.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: A great season i think.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: HE could throw i think he's got the capabilities of
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: throwing for over two thousand passing yards with the.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Receivers He has and i've actually been really Impressed with
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: when i've seen.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Him and, SCRIMMAGES you know i was impressed with Him
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: at the pattville scrimmage where he made some really good,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: off balance throws throws, on the run really good at
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: evading pressure and just reading reading reading secondaries, and reading
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: defenses and he can scramble, a little bit and he's
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: he's fortunately he's gained a few. Inches as well he
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: was about five eight a year ago and now he's
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: like five ten. And a Half and then ludou has
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: got a ridiculous array of athletes at Their DISPOSAL, with
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: evan vii Who's committed to stanford.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: As a cornerback but he's a, really good receiver and
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: then they.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Got one of the best receivers saw junior receivers in
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: the state and potentially can just be one of the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: best receivers in the, state this season depending on the.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Year He Has.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: It's trevor walker he's at SIX y, THREE i, think
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: i mean he's.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Really good fifty to fifty receiver, in.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: The air just, really good hands and he's, a good
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: runner tough to tackle in. The open field And Then
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: try res edwards is, a, guy who's uh. He's got
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: it he doesn't have a whole, lot of stats but
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: he like but if you, watch his.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Film he's got some really good plays.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: That he's had and he's a little taller, this year too,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: and he's faster so he's really good. Hands as well
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: so they got, three quality receivers and they got a
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: few more guys a receiver that are, capable for them
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: and then their running back. ROOM is, deep i mean
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: They Already had cody anderson and, returning for them but
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: they they whoever you want to call it from the transfer,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: portal or whatever but kind of smiled on them because
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: They Got, back marco tipton who was previously a leadou
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: ram for AS long as, i can remember but like
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: He Transferred the all top he came back, after one
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: year so. They got him that, wasn't really surprising but
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: then not like just really a few weeks ago they.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Got another addition That was Cayleb Urvin, from parkway west
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: who was supposed to be their returning. Running running back
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: but now he's he's up TO do, and I think
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: and i'm As far, as i'm aware he'll be ready
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: to go for week one and he's. Like five six
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: he rushed for over seven hundred yards for in a
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: run pass Heavy, offense for west so it's going to
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: be really interesting how they implement him. Into the system
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and then a. Line at line they, returned Four Starters.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Including julian toledo he's getting he's gotten. Some college looks
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: he's six five, Eight Two eighty max barrodco's. Six' to
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: two patrick ann is a sixty four. Two seventy offensive
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: lineman and then one guy who they HAVE a sophomore
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: that I Really like is kay boten and he's built six.'
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: three already built well i think he's going to be
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: a really good player when. It's All said and Done
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: and i've liked how i've. Seen him Block Already too
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: and then jack jack. Winehas will be their center he's
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: done vastly improved. Player from a year ago and then
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: on defense we already mentioned, by at cornerback for them
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: he's i mean one of the best quarterbacks and really
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: In the state and the midwest really. When you think
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: about it AND then two guys that i Really Like.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: FOR them are bass dixon i know you're. A big
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: fan of him he's a sophomore and he had. Thirteen
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: sacks a. Year ago Really Explosive player and then gus,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: logan at safety for them. Reads the game very well
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: he had six. Interceptions and over fifty tackles And Also,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: his strong safety jacob Peeples HE'S a, really improved like
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: i mean he, was already good last year but he
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: already looks. Better and THIS year too so, like i
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Would just say like. THE rams are, really athletic i
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: would say like maybe their only weakness would be middle linebacker,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: at this POINT right now but like i don't. Think it's,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: a big weakness but yeah their defense that they're just gonna.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Fly all over the place and they have a lot
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: of Depth with the.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Athletes and they're just they're, really loaded in that area
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and as long as they rely on fundamentals and not just,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: try to rely on athleticism, they're going to be, very
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: VERY tough to beat and i.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Think. Potentially could go unfeed.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah A couple of the teams. I think are worth
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: mentioning fox is the team that had heartbreaking here last
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: year in the fact that they lost for one, score
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: games the mid season and they showed the ability to
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: beat solid Teams and then, beat with dow week. Nine,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: which was a stunner yeah and they bring back a
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: decent Amount And they bring back, juke prievish at full
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: back which. IS a big for them i, THINK the
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: quarterback this year i mean that would probably be a,
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: reasonable transition on their offense especially. In their, RUN heavy
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: option and yeah i think. THEY could. Be a threat
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: i do, is definitely the better team, but.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Definitely more talented overall but it's not always it doesn't. Always.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Max out That Way.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah and then parkway west definitely a lot of question
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: marks coming. INTO this, year for them i mean after
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: the incredible, year they had last year just how they're,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: going to REFILL. Those spots especially At Qb.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be bradon bierman who's.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: A sophomore quarterback for them, he's highly rated coming out like, coming.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Out of middle school and he's got a good arm
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: and also.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: He's A good scrambler too but i mean he's, got
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Some Pretty good receivers like, max jones is HIGHLY rated he's.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Got numerous d one offers and Then at Tight. End
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: is grace, And smith he's sixty six so you got two,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: six to SIX receivers effectively and then i like some
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: of the younger guys that they have coming up at
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: receiver that are going to. Be pretty good for them
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: and their offensive line is. A, Big question for them
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: yeah i've not heard a lot of great things for.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Their offensive line this offseason and then they only.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Returned, two guys on defense however it might be their
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: two Best Guys on Defense That's. Ethan baine and gunner
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: holmes holmes is. A six to three linebacker he's. Been
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: starting As a freshman and then ethan bay is a
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: really SOLID two way player who's, i.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Think, he's committed somewhere but yeah he's definitely.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Gonna go, play college football but yeah they had twenty,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: six seniors a year ago always, tough to replace and
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: YEAH so definitely kind of i Think, a REBUILDING here
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: for west but i think they could be pretty good offensively,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: if it clicks for them and if they if their
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: offensive line.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Can, hold UP as well yeah.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: SO i THINK, Those are I think ldu west and
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: fox are the three. Main teams in this conference And Then.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: You got rid very gardens they return a, lot of Starters,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: as well but like candy, competed at a high level
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: though you know. That remains To be Seen and then hazel.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: TO west again same deal i mean, they they're a
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: big school but they've never really. Had a good football
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: history they, return a lot on defense but. Lost most
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: of their offense they do have. A new Head Coach.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: There, and then parkway central yeah it's been tough for.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: THEM these, last few years i mean they got they actually,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: like the athletes they have it's just kind. Of again
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: their their line? Can, they compete well there yeah so it's.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Uh be interesting, right there, BUT uh yeah BUT look
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I think the i, think LUDU wins This conference but
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: i think. FOX finished this in.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Second i think with the fox will Be A.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Bad matchup for, parkway west IN my Opinion even though
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: i think west probably has got. More talent overall than,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: THEM but and you know i think the biggest game
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: In the conference Will be Week three When, ludu plays
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: fox at wadoo and that game could either be like
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: a one score struggle or a or like a twenty TO.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: THIRTY point win for lado i think it could. Go either,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: way THAT, way so yeah but, I as you can
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Tell i'm really high the rams, and, They have yeah RIGHT.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah but in, this i will say this This is
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: the most EXCITED i've been for a. Lado. Team since twenty, NINETEEN.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Wow, They're that good I think and every time i've
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: seen him in the.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Off season they, LOOK better so.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: All right i had No, ONE of the suburban orange
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: a lot. Of turners across this, Conference Here, We've Got,
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: mcclured North Melville Northwest. Oakville properly south wester rose the
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: guy that everyone's GONNA. Be Thinking of Is qb cohen
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: stark from northwest had, the incredible season last, year breaking
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: records for them leading. Them to the fantastic Season And
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: then they remart chase belcher and Running Back and the.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Receiver jeremiah clines as well so this line's offense is
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: definitely going to be probably the most electric offense they've. Had,
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: IN their school history.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah i mean last year was probably.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: That was the most electric he probably was as far
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: as We can tell there and cohen start he. Also
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: is he's a linebacker you don't see that very.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Often, quarterback who's a linebacker.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's usually a big no no for a lot,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Of For most other. Teams. But northwest doesn't care oakville.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: THEY they're, AN interesting team i mean i think they've
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: done a really, good job just you know for a
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: while they were. Not very good At All but ever since,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: mike gage has been there he's slowly but. Surely GOTTEN
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: them being competitive and i think since twenty twenty two
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: they have been there and they've. They've BEEN a competitive
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: team so i think they'll Be right up there challenging
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: northwest or could. Be the other way around northwest could
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: be challenging alltill depending on, how you look at IT
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: right and and THEN i think it's just i think Those.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: TWO teams and then Parkway I really love where parkway.

  Speaker 2: Had like three, consecutive good days of.
• 53:48

  Speaker 2: Be A consistent football.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: TEAM so i long term, i like where they're going
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: but we'll.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: See What happens this year tucker.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Swinton's a really Good Receiver He's Committed, to south southeast
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: missouri state and this has all started when he was
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: just started to play with wide receiver in spring and spring,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of for fun and, then all of a SUDDEN.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Now he's committed to semo. So pretty Cool Story there
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: and then webster groves not.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: A Ton of returning starters king mitchell back at, running
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Back For them too. And noah banks at linebacker, melville
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: they returned some starters about six starters on. Offense And,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: four on defense McClure north they returned a. LOT of
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: starters on, offense i mean Four Linemen they're tight, end
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: RAYMOND brown at quarterback but i Think It is decent
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: and jackson buckley is a good TWO way wide. Receiver
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: IN dB for them So i think this McLure north
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: team could be a. Wild card For them too it's,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: coach SHANNON'S third, year there, so i mean you know
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: each year you get, more of a standard there and it'd.

  Speaker 2: Be cool to.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: SEE McLure north do, Well i mean they have they
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: have a, lot OF returning starters there so i think
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: it's there's. A recipe, for that there but, YEAH as
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Of right now i got northwest winning This conference and
• 55:08

  Speaker 1: mean they're finally Back down in the suburban blue and
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: after taking their Lumps and like the.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: SUBURBAN green for a while i saw them a little
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: bit this.

  Speaker 1: OFFSEASON and they look okay i think, they can be
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: you know definitely good in the suburban blue here and Then, You.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: KNOW after IN brentwood clayton, i just i don't know

• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Then but normandy is interesting there's definitely a, lot more
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: talk about them like you just hear a little bit more.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: About them on social media so hopefully that means they
• 57:48

• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Been a long time.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Since. Normany HAS been, good man they i mean they've.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Never BEEN historically been great but I mean just back
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: when i was in high, school, in the two thousands
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: like they, were certainly competitive and athletic and it'd be
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: cool if they. Can get Back to that SO But
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: i'm going to u city A, favorite to win this
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: well it could.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: Be very interesting before they. Even play a Conference game
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: You city. Hosts northwest on week three it should, be a.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: VERY interesting game very.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Interesting i would expect both teams to be two.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: And, zer, AT that point well actually i don't Think, The.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: City plays in lowton oklahoma So we'll see how good.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Lawton is in week two no idea, how good, they.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Are yeah ALL, right Going over the Mcc The, suburban
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: and the southwest CONFERENCE. Let's head over the gac We'll
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: just start FROM The. North, AND the gac north now
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: i think we'll be done shuffling divisions for a LITTLE
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: while now in the gac because the last the, last
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: eight years or so there's just kind of been a
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: constant shuffle as you had new Schools opening up out
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: in wentzville. And then enrollment's, CHANGING everywhere but for now
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: i think we're stable for at. Least for A, little
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: while So Then.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: North, We.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: Got, holds Orchard, Farm, St, charles S. Charles west, Warranton
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: And winfield last year orchard farm had an incredible season
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: and they're. Looking TO build on that and i know
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: that they don't bring back too much that.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: They bring back, certainly enough yeah.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: They do and you know they, won ten games last
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: season their highest. Total in quite, a while and, you
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: know fortunately for them they bring, back through their, line
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: now which is huge and they bring. Back through their
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: starting receivers they have, a really good, receiving corps really
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: really good.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Like All good athletes like madam bonning is.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Probably their best basketball player he's six Four Six four
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: six five patrick ayers had.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: A solid season.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Last year He's A junior and then terrence curry is
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: one of the best sophomore. Prospects in the entire area
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: all all good. Receivers in their own, Ride And. THEN
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: their quarterback liam sinclair i really. LIKED the look of
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: him i mean he his, Older Brother was you know
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: collin sinclair Had A, great CAREER at Orchard, FARM and
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: i think liam i think. Can follow in, his footsteps
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: and you, know he's got good, size about six to.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: One maybe six to.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Two, there was a good ball, can run, a little
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: bit and yeah he just doesn't all look out of
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: places from from what. It LOOKED like last year so
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: i think their offense. Is, gonna be, Pretty solid yeah for.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: Sure they're definitely, THE favorite She would say i. THINK
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: holts should BE better i think they're i think they would.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: Improve from, a year ago.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: Well there they're still in a weird spot because the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: the enrollment out their school is still kind of recovering
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: because they got hit really Hard By The. OPENING up,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: north point that i mean they WERE in class six
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: briefly i think back in twenty seventeen and. They're, now
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: in class four yeah so we'll see the numbers there.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: And how.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: THEY work out they improved i mean they went five
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: and six last. Year with some nice wins kind of
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: got stuck, with Against a really tough properate north team the.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: Second round of the playoffs but they had A pretty
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: solid in conference uh Stretch LAST year and then warrington
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: uh a usual good year of them last. Year, THEY
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: went seventy four yeah i had had a decent. Offense
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: for the most part sometimes that would kind of sputter.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Out Against the better Teams but i'm thinking. Defensively warrington
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: should be solid so it'll be interesting to see how
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: They Match. UP against the orchard farm i.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Think it Will Be.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: BETWEEN warrington and orchard farm i haven't heard Too Much
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: out Of the saint Charles. Or Winfield camps. Or St
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: charles west camp, charles west, RETURNS a lot but yeah
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: i was Gonna Say the BRINGING. Back chris mitchell at
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: Qb Both their running backs Lee White And tied to kate,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: lee white.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: By the way ran for one three hundred and sixty. Eight,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: yards and fifteen touchdowns yeah one of the More.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Underrated Running. Backs, In st.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: Charles county yeah, mitchell ran for three hundred third and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: six yards and eight touchdowns and threw for seven, hundred
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: and twenty six yards complete over.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Fifty percent of his passes so they got. Something to
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: work with there and they've.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Been back to, their whole secondary as well and a,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: Lot of their front seven like their defense is almost
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: the same thing. As it was the.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Returns Most of their defense andre ballard is. A. Really,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: good defensive lineman yeah yeah.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: And you know they, last year they did struggle especially
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: Front Of. The pass against orchard farm so we'll see
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: if they are, defensive backs have you know gotten stronger.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: And faster over this offseason hopefully They Have right to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: think charles west should. Be IN a better, SPOT so
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: i think this.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: THIS could be I Don't i don't think, ORCHARD farm,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: because last year i mean, Especially In their conference games orchard,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: farm for the most part. HAD a pretty easy Time, i,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: mean they beat hold yeah forty nine to thirty eight,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: in the first conference game then past that. THEY turn
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: o'clock different body i don't think. They'll happening In This,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: year NOTHING against orchard farm but i think the other
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: teams have kind of. Caught, UP to Them more.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: YEAH i think Holds Better i think st. Charles west
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: is definitely Better like you look at. WEST schedule lest
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: the Year i mean they, lost potosi by By seven they,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: lost a hope By Two they lost. To cape central,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: by nineteen so you know those games you could easily.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Flip FROM a year ago and I don't, KNOW who's
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: on i forget i don't, have THEIR schedule with me
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: but i Don't Know if They're Playing saint. Dominic OR
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: cape CENTRAL again so I Think I definitely think saint
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: charles west. WILL have a winning record i don't know what,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: that's GOING to look like but i think they will
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: win more than five.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Games, in the rega season yeah the.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: Same, thing with, whole two yeah all right let's SHIFT Over. To,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: the g c central uh we Get, the Usual, Suspects, Here,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: Fordamon North, on south fords mall East And Now we Got.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: Liberty.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: North point And, washington uh at north point they've had some.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: Interesting developments over this offseason they've, had some guys transfer
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: away but, they've also had excuse me they bring, back
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: their whole, old line which is huge and there's an
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: offense that had for the most part a. PRETTY good
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: year last year, i mean they you know past heavy
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: team but also found a way to get SOME. Scrambling
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: yards from their qb so we'll see if.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Again this Year It. Did unfortunately lose Tavern. WILLIAMS he's
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: now at timberland.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna Say that because we already that transfer,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: still KIND of, confuses me and i mean. Transferring in
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: district is crazy. They almost never see that it's one
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: thing that transfer to a private school or moved to.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: A completely, different public school, but yeah the transferring. District that's.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: That's that's crazy that's interesting and they play Each other
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: this Year. In, north part in temerlin yeah that should. Be,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: that should be spicy.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah there's definitely gonna be some. Narratives, going into that
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: game yeah but.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: BRINGING back a coolal. Line i think it's huge and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: then they bring back pretty much, The WHOLE secondary As
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Well so i think north points. In A Really good
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: spot coach jinger roll is. Doing great things over there
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: and then We got To. TALK about zamal and north
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: i mean they've been dominating this conference for going on, What,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: to thirteen years. Now, yeah since twenty thirteen yeah they,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: lose a lot on offense but defensively they're, back for the.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: Most part which is good so They've Also.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: Got, a transfer, kobe polk yes he's uh he's gonna be. A,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: nice player for them yeah on. BOTH sides OF the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: ball i, think i like. Their athleticism like my offense.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: They Arguably Return, there too besides philip arposse they returned
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Their Two best Athletes And, jennon burls and camraon sherman
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: and They'll be able to add.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Polk AND there as well so i think they'll still
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: be able to run their. Run, the ball pretty.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: Well well they better be if they, can't win the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: ball well then their offense is just that's. KIND of
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: all they Do.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: I SAW them at eureka they're, o line, is, not
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: big but you you of all people know as long as.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Their dogs they'll be Okay.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: The REALLY has separated zumanton north's oh line from other
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: teams that they play is it's never the sheer height and,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: weight of their offensive line but. Is, their strength and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: speed yeah and that's one thing you'll hopefully. See this year.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: From them we'll see Liberty they're. Bumping, up to class
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: Six well they've bumped The, class six less than missuring
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: BUT They're. STILL in the gac central i haven't, heard
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: too much from them so we'll.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: See.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: How that works out.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Right i've heard good things, in the, off season though but. Yeah,
• 1:05:54

  Speaker 1: you want.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah all right LET'S Head Over To, The Gc South
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: zomo West Francisile, France, House, On strol France. Oile north
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: timberland and Troy we were actually at troy about a
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: week and A half Ago At. Their Purple and golden
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: night carter shaffer IS. Looking really good at qb he
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: was thrushing that role Last year unexpectedly after. The hunter
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: hunh for. Injury did a great job he, did a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: really good job did, a really really good. Job especially
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: throwing the, ball they don't have. Uh, thunder and lightning anymore, yeah.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: But built like them that's for. Sure from what we
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: saw like they don't have a they, don't have A. Running,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: back built like cardell.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah but you, know they because of this the sheer
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: size of their roster and the lifting program. THEY have
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: these boys on i know that their offensive line is
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: gonna have some athletes and we saw that a couple
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: weeks ago where they're still they're still, pulling with really
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: good speed still getting really good. Hands in their pass
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: pro and then defensively they bring back most of their
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: secondary which is Which is huge especially for. Troy because
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: of their alignment they have that weird it's technically a
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: three three five but it's pretty much a five to
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: one five and that requires just a lot of communication
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: and athleticism from your defensive backs to fill fill. On
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: run play as well And, They Bring back Conn Ryan donald.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Miller and.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: Marcus Reynolds there that's huge donovan.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Miller is going to be a. Really KEY player for
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: them he's i Think he'll be a good we.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: Saw him at, the running backs well YEAH, and HE'S
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: a good dB so i think he'll be a nice. Two,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: WAY player for them obviously i don't, Think, he's gonna
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: get it like he's not going to be, their bell
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: cow running back but because they got they were using
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: multiple running backs and.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: They.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: All, Look DECENT honestly YEAH yeah so i think. I think,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: they'll be fine i mean they're gonna Be. Tested out
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: early with Eureka goes Both ways between eureka and troy.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: As, Far, As BEING tested EARLY yeah so i Feel.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: I feel. GOOD About, TROY i do i mean i don't.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: Know if they're going to be as explosive, as last
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: few years are but they're certainly going to be a really,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: tough team to be in physical and they're gonna make.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: You, Earn It.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: Every game yeah francis howell coming, into the year last
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: year everyone was kind of down on them because, they
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: just lost so much. Especially on the offensive line now
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: they bring back for STARTING Offensive Lineman, and starting qb.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: DEREK shupp, which is huge i mean just, the experience gonna,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: pay dividends especially for them because you could you could
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: tell last year, there were just, times where especially up
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: front they were just miss blocking assignments because. They just
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: weren't that experienced and they got better, as the season
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: went on but especially coming coming, Into the year this year.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty confident in them we'll see who their running
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: back is because it's it's Just so funny for france
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: as because the dynamic is just so different coming into,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: this year from last year because last season It, was
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: pretty much just okay We're Gonna just watch what geelan
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: bouer does and hope he does well because that was.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: Kind of their whole offense but this, year they don't
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: have valor but they do bring back most, of their
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: THEIR whole LINE and then i would i guess we'll
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: go to. A pass heavy, HOWL again, i don't know
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: i mean that was that was kind Of fun when
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: they were It's. BEEN a while SINCE bena i feel.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Like i think they're gonna like still, Do what they
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: typically do like they're gonna, try to run the football
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: but they definitely are not afraid.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: That they like the pass they're they're.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: More of a they've been they've really been LIKE probably
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: the most athletic gac team.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: For, like over, a decade now you know. You're in
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: and year out.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: They're pretty consistent with it like they usually have, good
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: receivers and you know a good.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Quarterback TO go with that so i think there's a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: lot of good ingredients for their.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Offense, to be pretty solid defense they, only have four returning.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: Starters lost, All their LINEBACKERS but YEAH i'm.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Just i went i Was, at their practice last monday
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: and they just they kind Of look like a typical
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: hell team compared to, like the last few years and
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: not that They didn't, look LIKE typical HELL teams but
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: i just i just think this team is, gonna just,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: WIN more games and like i just know that they
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: feel like this team is kind of similar to like
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: what they, had in twenty twenty three which a lot
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: of people forget about. Was, a PRETTY good team yeah
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: so i think they're in good Hands, and they're, GONNA
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: give troy you know i.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: Think a lot to Handle. In same way with troy
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: and then and Then next.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Is you want west who uh say what you will
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: about still today but they ranked s They ranked forward to.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: What west number ten, In the large cool rankings so.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: That's that's a big call.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: West, loses a lot a lot but given their ability,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: TO reload over recent years i would trust. Them to
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: be Solid Again, they do have chase dixon who is
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: one of the. Best linemen in the area. I'll get
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: that to them he's been Really really. Good for the
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: jags them but they just have a. LOT to, REFILL
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: on offense i mean. QB almost their whole line.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: I LIKE what They Have a qb with. JORDAN rasmison
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: though six' six a lot of people said a good
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: lot of good things about them, for a guy who you.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Know BARELY played IT last year so i think. I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: think they're set at quarterback it's like him that they.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: HAVE the receivers to get open i Think recent clin
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: and debn nee lee, would be, The receivers for them
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: you know but they have a.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Lot of, a lot. Of holes to FILL for.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: SURE but uh and i know, i Remember like after
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen like west was decimated by graduation.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: Until them like. THREE full years really get back i
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: mean they.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Look which was weird because they have a, huge program
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: AT a huge enrollment. AND that i think it was i
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: think that was a combination of getting unlucky with one
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: class that just wasn't deep at all and then the
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: other and then positionally they just weren't really diverse because they,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: had great depth at a receiver but they just didn't
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: have any definitely old Line that was their. Shoe and
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: i'm hoping they can it.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Was crazy because like, you would think that out there
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: like You. ALWAYS have, good, old line west.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: I mean shoot from two, Thousand and five to twenty
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: nineteen west always had a huge old line huge and
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: in the past. Few Years that's wasn't the case but
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: i'm at least last year. SEEING their backups had decent
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: size i would, hope it carries. Over this, year but
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: we'll see but yeah that should be another Very, fun
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: Dynamic to Loss. Between West, frank all and troy how
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: central though they do, bring BACK a. LOT on defense SO.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: I liked I like what i saw when i've saw
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: him over the summer. And they did a good job
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: but they did A really nice job against rock bridge
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: their their offense and not allowing any touchdowns for what was.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Worth, AND even got an interception yeah i just think it's.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Gonna come, down to their Offense You know, like like
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: the bray, rose, Receiver He's a good one obviously, jack
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: brown's he's the best player probably. The best, player in
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: school history besides uh you know he's now the.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: Head, COACH.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Was really good too yeah i don't.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Know If They recruited as. Highly as. Jack brown was though.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah brown he's, a two way player at, line
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: edge rusher really technically.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: Linebacker but, REALLY an EDGE rusher.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: And uh i mean i like some of the guys,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: they have coming in on offense but like they lost
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of linemen and.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: That's where they've really been struggling.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: It's really really kind of breaks it has broken down
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: for them with Their offensive.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Line ON offense what i've seen, but I just feel like,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: they're like.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: I want to say they're more seasoned Team by now because,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: of LIKE brown AS a senior and i think i
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: think they'll have a lot, of senior step up for them,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: but they still got to prove like, can they compete
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: With You know The how the Francis house andot west.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: And the, TROYS of the world so like I think They.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Can beat, how north and timberland but yeah they got
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: they got to break through by.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: Beating one, of the, Big three.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: YEAH Yeah all right. Uh the jc South. My PICK
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: i'll go, with Troy. Actually i don't, know.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: Well timberland timberlin's interesting Here but You need you about
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: timberland Because.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: Timberland they do have tamer williams was gonna say a.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: Returning to be because he wasn't. He was a, star
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: Really good athlete really good athlete they made.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: The amount of times he made something. Of nothing That
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: was their best that was north points offense. With, him just, figuring.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: It out yeah they did they, as they they gained
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: a transfer Then They lost they lost.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: One tristan moss at running, back he's not lift for. Life,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: so what.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Could Have Been yeah, they do have kju smith though
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: he was a pretty. Good option, to back as well
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: and defensively they they gotta. They gotta find some good
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: linebackers so we'll see How.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: That.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: Plays out for, the wolves uh but you know They
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: Got a good coach at arlin harris and we'll see

• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: The Question right So yeah well how west, and troy
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: ALL have good quarterbacks and so i think that it
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: usually starts with, them All tall quarterbacks as, Well like chuck,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: is six Six ra sixty. SIX and then, schaeffer six,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: Three i just think you know. WES has a lot
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: to prove. I mean they lost a, lot, i, mean
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: you would think like well?
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: What do they have.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: To PROVED they've been really good they i think they've
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: like won nine games. Last two years, in, a row
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: but it's like yeah but he. STILL lost a lot
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: of guys i mean a lot those, guys have, To
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: prove it then and yeah troy is just they've been.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: Really SOLID these last five years how i think they're
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: finally kind of on their way back up again after
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: an incredible run they had for, over like more than a.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: Decade really for, like fifteen years, it's, interesting times, Like
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: WE'RE saying Like you know troy's i Think i'm pretty

  Speaker 1: sure WE Picked troy that win the gac south last
• 1:17:56

• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Is tough, i'll go with troy as Well HOW'S close

• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: mean if, ZUMALL west could win this conference i mean
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: that Would Say a whole lot about. Ben, pike and

• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: To Get them to That.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: Point but i'm, gonna go troy like it's crazy like they,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: they don't have like a particular like, big time player
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: on their team but like we're kind of giving them
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: the benefit of outright here just because they've kind of
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: earned it and they have like a huge player pool.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: And they're in they're in their, program WITH over two
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: hundred guys and i.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: Remember in twenty. Nineteen, we called troy sleeping giant.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah We've also said that about. How, central and they're
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: still asleep.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see, if it develops yeah all right last
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: not At Least to go to the. Metro League for
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: a little bit lutheran north the narrative is interesting, because
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: they bring back a lot but people, are kind of
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: down on them Which Is weird because they GOT. Jonathan
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: moore come back a qb they. BRING back their whole
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: offensive line i think it's because they lose. A lot
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: of their parameter Guys But they do, bring BACK kyra
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: neveran's a. Receiver, Which I think is nice.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: Yes kyle robinson's a. Really good, running back as, well
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: he's uh he's a linebacker but he's getting highly rated.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: AS a running, BACK for.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: Them i think honestly i don't know how. He Is
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: Perceived by the people but cardinal ritter coming out with
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: their schedule and you know, it being such a tough
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: schedule and then they bring they bring back the guys
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: they bring back Has kind of allowed with the north
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: to operate in the in. THE shadows a bit this,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: offseason i think they prefer honestly well they should at
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: this point because there's there's been years where they've been
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: had a. Lot, OF attension drawn towards them yeah i
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: don't know if they, want to, CONTINUE to do THAT but.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: No i don't think i think they're wanting, to move
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: in a. Different, direction probably, FOR.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: The best yeah but yeah i think there's a. Team that's,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: THAT'S pretty slept.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: On yeah yeah i mean this IS definitely The Most
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: slept on i think lutheran. North. Team, in a long,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: time yeah yeah but you know they got. To still
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: go and prove it they still. And.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Their line is still young Yea, even though they returned
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: everybody westminster they.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: Return a, good AMOUNT of starters but again but i.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Think they could be pretty competitive they did finish with
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: a winning record, LAST year, for what it's worth, i
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: mean not the strongest schedules.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: But Still we're six and five.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Lutheran, south returned a lot, of starters but like just
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: honestly until they finally can turn, it around and win
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: some games you just You just Gotta Have To, EXPECT
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: sam old lutheran' south. Unfortunately, I hate to, say that
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: yea burrows they return they were they lost, a lot
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: from a. YEAR ago from two years ago i think
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: that they'll be, a LITTLE BIT better.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: This year but i i. Still don't expect much from them.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: Their numbers. Have been really low that. SUCKS so we'll.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: SEE what happened. I don't know i don't know the enrollment,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: OF their, School, has been decreasing i believe.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah but that's more on it because it's like that's
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: a school that like so many people would you would.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: Think would, LOVE to go, TO you'd think. I don't
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: know i don't know, i mean, the economy being down.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: It isn't gonna help.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: That's true usually there's, always trends not to get into.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: Like all the associoch not stuff but, usually when the
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: economy is down, public schools benefit just you know because.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: People, are trying to SAVE, MONEY YEAH.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: And then h M I CDs our friends, from, cmg
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: sports today picked that well at least two. Of the
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: three guys Picked that they think. They'll win class three
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: in state. Make of that what you Will but? Do
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: they know, who seneca is They they. Yes, They KNOW who, seneca,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: is yea but i think well. We're not, gonna talk
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: about that but Anyway They're. Not they're not from. Saint, louis,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: i'll just say that well yes they returned nine starters
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: on a team who went. Five and five a year,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: ago just we've said it, before that was an unachieving
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: team and they even they Even Acknowledge it, themselves in
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: their staylor, day preview which by the way they were
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: number EIGHT in, The small schools and stl today so
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: we're not the only. Ones who, think they under achieved
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: and uh they have Been really. NICE running back justin
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: bishop returning i think he was just shy of a
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards a year.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Ago And play in every game no.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: Amnick's back at quarterback for them this Is his third
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: year as a this is really this should.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: BE he's, got he's gotten snaps i.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: Mean you can't say he was he was not a
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: full time, starter in these last two years but this
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: will be his first.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: Year as a full. Time starter.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he's, injury, free yeah yeah. AND then uh here's
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: the thing i think they have a lot to work
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: with with athletes and receivers because they Got Some Guys Like,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: Uh Like, adrian craig keevan phillips asa robbers they're both
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: they're both returning Stars And they're so and, darry dewan
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: moore is another guy uh. That They Could, use at
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: receiver then nick weaver. He's he's really exploded this offseason he's.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: Gab we Were.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: His Younger brother he's. At minnesota, he's nick six four
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: you Know Our. Our our, good friend sean. West he's
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: uh he's he's uh. He knows their family very well
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: he's like exclusively followed them and like so, he's been
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: updating me a lot, and like He's. Got multiple offers
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: even from colorado but it's just his problem is just
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: he's just raw because he just HASN'T played. A whole
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: LOT of rcit football so but i think he could
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: be A. Really good, player for The Rams but uh and.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Then mason coleman is a sophomore it's one of the.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Better sophomores prospects in the. Area he's A linebacker for
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: them and but i've really not heard any good things
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: about their offensive line. And their defensive lines, the softseason
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: and and but however though They could Dispel those rumors,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: on thursday When i'm met there uh The Janirie. That they're, playing, at,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: parker north but uh yeah see there's not been a
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: whole Lot of noise out. OF their, campa that this
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: offseason i mean They're Learning a new offense under. Jason
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: thomas their new head coach so, they're they're kind of
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: a mystery but, UH yeah if you if yeah i
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: just it's it's just five and five a year ago
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: probably should be should have. Been better than, five AND
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: five but but really what i care about the most
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: is that they lost a lot of key players from
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: a year Ago and it's just. Gonna be it's gonna
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: be hard there's a few of Them that Is Not
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: gonna replace they're just Ben Peterson, just they're not replacing.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: Miles Coleman They're, not replacing him like graham, faust don't.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: Think they're replacing him you know and A Few, of
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: the pretty like, gabe weaver. They're Not Replacing him you,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: know so Oliver rohan really good like. Speed deamon probably
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: not replacing him and so it's just we'll have. TO wait,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: AND see what happens i mean i know they have.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Athleticism and, leticism to work with they got but it's
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: just like WHAT can there WHAT can their o line and?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: D line do with, the produce LIKE if they can,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: if their O line can produce then just bishop is gonna.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: Have a good, year for them and then YEAH that's
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: that's just, The questions, i have with THEM but uh
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: they're Gonna. Be i really early AGAINST LaDou but if
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: they can i think if they can, get anything out of,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: that game THAT'S huge for them and then i think
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: they can.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Have a decent SEASON.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: After that what if last CDs wins peak one that Would?
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: Say, a lot, more about, lado oh come on.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: OF course of.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: COURSE it, would, i don't know i mean hey that WOULD.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Say a lot more About lado. That would have been
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: i've jumped.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: The narratives have been very different about those. Two, teams,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: coming into the season.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah narratives change every year YOU should have remembered
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: the narratives i had about both. Teams, last, year. Almost
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: completely opposite yeah yeah yeah so maybe you just don't
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: like it when. CERTAIN narratives change to. CERTAIN schools i
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: don't care. FOR i just think it's funny i think
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: the whole. DYNAMIC is very fun.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: To change i can't wait to talk, about that game,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: IN a. Week but very soon.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: I think so, AS far As This conference goes i
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: think lutheran north is the. Most equipped, to WIN this, one,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: YOU know and i see yes i would say. THEIR
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: second and it'd be Interesting. I would pay attention to
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: westminster i think that's a team. That could, be sneaky
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: good here and yeah so that's DEFINITELY probably The weakest metro. League,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: i think i've ever seen yeah, to BE quite honest
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: WITH you because i mean when i was in, HIGH school,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: and then.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: In college i mean this is this is one of
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: the premier.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Small, school CONFERENCES in the state yeah and i mean
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: At One point you had a zeko elliott in this
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: conference With like Good. Players On luther north And Westminster,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: cody SCHRADER played For lutheran south and i, mean burrows
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: Was Good. Every year, so is lutheran north and yeah
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: it's just kind. Of a shelf, itself right now but
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: you know but kind of a.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: Sour note to end on that but here's.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: ONE thing that's kind, of cool I think since yes
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: They're In, CLASS three So it's lutheran north i think
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: i'm pretty sure that they would most, likely be in
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: the same district so we could get two games. Between
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: these two. Teams, this year, it'd Be cool yeah.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: All right well i'll.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: Do it for our conference previews. Next time you'll hear
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: from us it'll. Be, a Right their season preview. Yes
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: because illinois, starting this. Week it is yes all right. Well,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: to see you guys soon peace
