  Speaker 1: and we're gonna jump right into it with the Eureka Wildcats. Roman,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this is a schedule they have right here that is
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: one of the toughest in the entire state and it's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: for sure a gauntlet.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yep so week one at Troy, Week two, they host Hannibal.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Week three, there on the road on a Thursday at
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Parkway North. Week four, on the road again at Rockwood Summit.

• 0:47
  Speaker 2: al Lafayette for the Battle one O nine, and the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: week nine they host Lindbergh.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: This is a tough one.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: There's no easy game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: There's there's truly no game where you can say, like
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: if we just kind of play it like like a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: be minus level, like we should be fine. That's not
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: happening with this schedule.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: The easiest gameless schedules mar Marquette game.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and unfortunately because Marquette they were pretty good for
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a little while and now like they they're not as good,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but uh, I think they'll be better than this coming season.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Troy game on the road is uh that that's gonna
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: be a great inn you know, inn Conference or tri
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Conference or whatever you want to call it of GAC
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: or Suburban with Troy and Eureka too, like really proud
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: programs right there. And uh, Hannibal, I mean we've been,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we've been. You know, you've been listening to the last podcast.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know, we we've name dropped them a few times already.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Hannibal's got a pretty good schedule themselves. They're they're gonna
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: be playing a lot of you know, Saint Louis area
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: teams for this coming season. Parkway North that's again, that's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: another good game. I mean Parkway North, that's a quarterfinal
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: team right there. From last year, Troy b. Cannon was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a you know, they had a fourteen point lead in districts,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: so they were really close to this championship. Hannibal played
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in this Class four state championship game and then Rockwood Summit.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You know, they've been really consistent. You know, they've been
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: averaging like I think, close to nine wins this season.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The last four years, Kirkwood is a final four team
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in Class five. You know, the dou is a team
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they won over eight games last year. They're expecting to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: be pretty good this year too. Then Lafayette, that's a well,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't win. They did, they lost their district, but
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that was a team who.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Went They lost the game that was on drugs to.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: CBC last year, Yes it was.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Lafayette's been really good these last handful years.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: And then you know Limburg they.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Did, they weren't so good last year, but they've given
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: They certainly have been a competitive program for really this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: whole decade.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean, you know what you're gonna go
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: with Eureka, I mean beating Russia.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Brandon Webb comes back, so it's gonna be a ground
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and Crown team, him.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Leading the way.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And I like their I like their their other running
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: back too, So I think they're gonna have a good
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: one two punch with those two guys. Don't know for sure,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I have I have a good idea who their quarterback is,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: but I don't really want to say it yet, just
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: because I don't know for sure who it is. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have a good idea who it is, though, but and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I like potentially what they can have with that with
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that area. And they returned three lines starting linemen, including
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: one of them who's a sophomore, and he's got some
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: D one interest already. Yeah. Their defense is always stacked
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with guys who are just really well coached and very
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: coachable kids. And it's it's it's just this just seems
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like a pretty typical Eureka team. But they're gonna be
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and they're they're always tested, they always have a good schedule,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but this one particularly feels like more challenging than it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: typically is. So man, I mean it truthfully could go
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways, just with you know how tough
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the opposition is.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Man, I'll go with a seven and two ceiling, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I'll go with a five.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And four floor.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, Yeah, trying to think too loud.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I'll go with them.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It's a consistent team of the consistent output. I mean,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: this is a team that outside of twenty twenty three,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: when they won their district. Between twenty three they have
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: not lost more than.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Three games in a season.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: An interesting century.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I remember in twenty twenty three, they had like a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: disappointing regular season, but they ended up winning their district.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the one time they actually had a bad season,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they won their district.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say a five and four floor and uh h,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I'll go eight and one ceiling. Wow, I could see that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, these are tough games, but I think
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in all these games they could feasibly win. I just
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I think they will lose at least one game because
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a gauntlet. And yeah, and I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: obviously the five and four floor. Yeah, I can go
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: south and a handful of these games too, and maybe
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: maybe in a few others there's as well. You know
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Lafayette's game, that's that's gonna be tough. And you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: lately Lafayette's gotten the better of Eureka more than not.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You know, Lafayette beat Erika last year, and they beat
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: them in uh you know, twenty two. They've they've beaten
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you know, Urreka's lost to Lafayette three the last four seasons.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Before that, they had a long winning streak.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's I'm going that eight and one ceiling,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: five and four flour.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: All right, speaking in Lafayette, should we go to the Lancers. Yes, right,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: mission oh uh oh, their mission schedules not outdated, hold
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: on time for us.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: To Almost every team we've covered has their full schedule
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: on the missip I.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Got on Instagram.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, yes, oh you are on Instagram. Okay, that's great.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: So Week one Lafayette hosts Timberland.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Two they're at Liberty, A nice little taste of Winsfeld
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: start the year for Lafayette.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well from Wildwood to Winsville.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: We Three they host Pattonville. Week four they host Limberg.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Week five, are on the road at Marquette. Week six
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: they're at Rockwood Summit.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Excuse me.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Week seven they're at Parkway Central. Eight they host a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: battle alone, nine and s Rika and the week nine
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the end of the year hosting Kirkwood.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So really ramps up at the end. There. Should have
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a couple of tests early in the season, you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Know, especially against I guess Tyberline and Liberty.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And then Pattonville.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So not like you know, not like a brick wall
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to start the season, but definitely a solid test to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: start the year. Yes, and then it's a stretch of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: three decent teams Lindberg, Marquette, Rockwood Summit. I mean, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: say decent. I don't think Marquette's going to be as
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: rough as they were last.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Year, right, I mean they had so many injuries.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Too, that was that was a tough year of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: must thanks last year.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But I mean literally, the only gimmea game is the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: parka Central game.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh yeah, I would say.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: So other than that, man, it's it's you gotta be
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: on your eight game to.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Really this is definitely a little bit of a slightly
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: weaker schedule than what they've typically been playing.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I think they kind of knew that, you know.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Their senior class last year might have been, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the end of a pretty good golden age for them,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: but they still got good players. Maybe not as deep,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: but I could see them starting out four and one,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: maybe five and one.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But then I.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Just I will say a six and three ceiling, and man,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I think they beat both Timberland and Liberty. Pat Gill
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is gonna be tough, Lindberg will be tough. I think
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Marquette would be a little tougher than you know what
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we're saying. Some it's not gonna be easy. I'll say,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I think worst case scenario four and five floor because
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it's a tough schedule. It's it's it's a it's a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's a legit Class six schedule right there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see if they kind of switch their
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: offense around, and.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, not having Brady Mesik as your quarterback is tough.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: And then you know, I mean.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: They bring up the leading rusher and Cody Keanes that's.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's not been their big form of attack though.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah there's six.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yards of carry though fourteen touchdowns. Man, that's because they
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: just want to run first team. Yeah, so we'll see
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: if they switch Philosohason offense. We'll see he's a good athlete.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: They usually have a great offensive line, so we'll see.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's definitely gonna be a different season compared
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to previous seasons for LAF yet.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: But they they're they're very well coached team.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be as explosive, but I do
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: think they're they're coached really.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Well, they scheme really well.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: They'll definitely be competitive, and yeah, it could could surprise
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: some people. I think, Yeah, they have an up, they
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to start out six and one.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, realistic well, who knows.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how realistic that is, but like a vaper,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I could see it, you know, if I could see
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: those those for six of their seven games breaking.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Their way right there, I'll go to then eight and
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: one ceiling.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, that's uh, I.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Know it's that's that's that's a big goal.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Right there, but it is, it is.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It does help that not a lot of people are
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you know, you just on paper. Man, if they were
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to go eight and one with all the starters they lost,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that'd be that'd be really impressive.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Next up, let's go with let's stay in rock with
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: at the Summit High School. They have a really good
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: week one game at Festus from Fenton to Festus.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: And then Valley Catholic.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Wow, how about that they host Valley Catholic. I think
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that's senior night because that's what the Yeah, it is
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a senior night right there. And then at Hazwood Central
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Eureka at Lindburg Lafayette for homecoming or no, that's not homecoming,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it's a pink out game.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: And then next week is homecoming Gains for Review Gardens.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And then then they end the season on the road
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: at Kirkwood and Marquette. Yeah, so Chase bearing A transferred
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to IMG, so they will not return their starting quarterback
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: from last year. But McCoy brown he is a pretty
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: promising Classic eight prospect right there, so I think they'll
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: be okay at quarterback ultimately. And he got a lot
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of reps last year as well. But they do lose
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I think, just about all the receivers from the receiving corps.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They do return Kendall Young, who's a pretty solid running back,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and they lost a good chunk of.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: The thousand rs last year he did. He's gonna be a.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Threat for sure. They lost a good chunk of their
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: own line, but Devin Walker is probably their best, Like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he was probably their best lineman prospect in that group
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and he'll be a junior.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: And they returned some decent guys on defense.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: As well, So it's gonna be a little bit of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a not as deep some a team of what they've
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: had the last several years really because they usually like
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: bring back a good amount of starters. So yeah, that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: fastest game is gonna be tough. The Tires are a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: solid team. I do think they beat Valley Catholic despite
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: how good they are should beat Hazewood Central Eureka.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Man, that's gonna be tough.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, Eureka has had their number the last few years,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and then at Lindbergh someone has had the Lindberg's number.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be inclined that they win. That that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Lafayette game is gonna be tough, that that could be
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the best, the most important game of the season, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: being it's a week six game, you know, they could
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: feasibly be four and one at that point, maybe three
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and two I would have had. I'd probably say three
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and two at that point. But they can get past
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Lafayette and beat Very Gardens, they'll be five and two,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and so I'll say a six and three ceiling and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a four and five four.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: It's I'll concur which is tough because this is a
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: team that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Sit, by the way, this is their first year in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the suburban yellow They're gonna be playing up.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hmm, Yeah, it's tough schedule, ye iago Section three
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: and then four.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just tough because it's a program that outside
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of the COVID year, they won at least eight games
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a year in the past seven seasons.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, very impressive.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very good program.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you can't sleep on Valley Catholic. I mean,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I know they're a small school, but Valley Catholic is
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: very capable of punching above their weight and they have,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I mean they have done many times. So some go like,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: do not just because they're a really small school, do
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: not sleep on Valid Catholic. Yeah, so that's the Falcons
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: right there. Kirkwood, you do not have your schedule at meet.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But that's okay, because well.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Should we just quickly go over Marquette might as well
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: do all the rocket schools?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got them right there. Okay, So they opened
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: with Shamanad hosting them, and then they host Saint Dominic
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and we who and then they're at Rittner at Kirkwood,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: host Lafayette at Eureka, versus A'swood, Westwood West at Linburg,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and then they host Summit right.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: There at a conference that's tough. Yet Saint dom Written.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Marquet's always got a tough schedule.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, as they show they're they're a very
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: large school. They always have decent athletes.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: If they can stay healthy this year, I think I
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: think they can have a solid season. That week one
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: game I think is a I honestly love that Week
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: one game for both of those teams because that's two
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: teams I think are at a very similar level. Yes,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and while you know, not necessarily seen as you know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: state championship threats, they're both solid teams Marquete jamanod. So
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: that'll be a good indicator from each of those teams.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: How they shouldn't least at lease continue.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I like how we're seeing more suburban schools willing to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: play like local private schools because that was not a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: common thing for a little while. So I like how
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that's kind of unspoken rule is broken.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: That Saint Dominic game, I think that could go either
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: way because I know Saint Dominic. They they returned some guys,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: some some good players, and then like they've lost some
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: some pretty key players of graduation written around the Road's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough, but I hate to bring it up.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But then again, if if it's a close game, oh
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: don't do this. It's I really like writtener this year. Actually,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So that's that's that's a tough mean, that's a tough game.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: How can it be mean?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: If it's a fact, then at Kirkwood. Just don't see
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Marquette beating Kirkwood on the road, although Marquette had some
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: had a lot of success against Kirkwood, like from twenty
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty one.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, more likely.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Lafayette's gonna be a big game at Eureka. That's gonna
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: be really tough. Eureka has historically had Marque number YEP,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: but then hazel to Us at Linburg and then the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Summit this market came. Team could go in a lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of different directions, but that they're they have a tough schedule,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: but that's something that they're not.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: They're they're they're very used to.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: And Marquette did beat Eureka back in twenty three. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: don't know if you remember that, but I forgot about that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, But.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Other than that, the past fifteen years, Ureka is fourteen
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: to two against Yuquet. So in general, it's it's toughy
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: this tough schedule.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I would put it at.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: A six and three scene at three and six floor.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I think just a week one I mean.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: If they could win that Week one game, that's the Week.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: One game should be a big indicator of how the
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: scenes should go.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if they can beat Shamanad, I think they can
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: beat Saint Dominic and think they can beat both those teams,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: certainly can beat Ritter.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Example, for example, I don't see them win Week one
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and finishing two and seven, and I don't see I
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: don't see them losing Nuke one and going six and three.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm saying.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Will say a six and three ceiling, Yeah, six and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: three ceiling, and then a four and five floor. As
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: long as they can stay healthy, I think they'll maybe
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: three and six ceiling, a four, three and six four.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll say three and six four, yeah, because I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that to me, six and three and six, three and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: six can go a lot of different ways because of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: how tough their schedule is. But they're battle tested, and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you know, they're playing against the teams that I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: are are beatable, you know, for for Mark, for what
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Marquette has. So yeah, I think I think that's fair
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: for now, and uh, you know, and good luck to them.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I hope, I hope they do well.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: All right, you mentioned Kirk, what might as well go
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to them?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, they This is gonna be a really interesting season
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: for them because.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Like they have a.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know who their quarterback is going to be
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: right now. I have a good idea of who it
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: might be.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: But b're gonna transfer again, do you think?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: No? No?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: From what from what I saw when I saw them
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: at seven at their seven on seven and way back
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in June, all their they had like four quarterbacks throw
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the ball and those are all program kids. Okay, Yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: so I don't think they got a transfer, and I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: think I would.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Have heard of it by now. Yeah, So.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Let's see, so they hold on a second? Okay, what
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: so their first game is at Writtener they I believe
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: they're at Writtener, and then for week two they have
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a bye, so that would have been their West Rose game,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and then they host Hazelwood East, they host Marquette, They're
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: on the road at Arica, they host Limburg, they host Fox,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they host Summit, and then there they wrap up the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: season on the road at Lafayette and then of course
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they have the Turkey Day game on November twenty sixth.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, m hmm.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: This week one should be a lot of fun, not
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the craziest, like you know, mat Yeah, Like it's not like, oh,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: we got Kirkwood Lafia week one, but Kirkwood written should
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: be a very interesting game week one.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: An offensive battle between those two teams.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And here's what these peak three.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a tough team, tough program over there
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: on the east side of Hazelwood.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, not in a Hazelwood but Spanish. Yeah, you
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: know what I mean.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they I was talking about Marquette, Eureka.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: And then Lindbergh as a team that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know if their offense has been puzzling me lately.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: They did not have a good Lindberg did not have
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a good offensive output last year.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, this is a good, good schedule.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: They've they've played new private schools.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: It's interesting.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Their non conference schedule in of itself isn't amazing, but
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it's certainly not it's certainly not not competitive. It's it's solid,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's okay. I mean their conference is
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: what makes their their schedule really good. Yeah, that's what
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Just outside of it, they're non I mean,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I would say Writtener is probably their best non conference opponent.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeh, But I mean if the kirk Woyd they got,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Buddy Mansfield has had a great game, a great.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Season of receiver last year, and then Travis Shores junior.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there was the receiving car is.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Not is hardly ever a problem for them. I mean
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I don't, however, I mean they feel this feels like
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the first time in years where they don't have like
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a D one recruited receiver like they I mean, I know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Jacob Eberheart, he was recruited as a.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Travis Shore junior, should absolutely D one guy.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't believe he has any D one offers yet,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: but he's he's really good. Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Jake Biberhart, he wasn't recruited as a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: D one receiver, but he certainly I think could have
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: played receiver somewhere. And then yeah, they had Larry Robinson
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and then by the way, Will Lee who's now in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the NFL, he was a receiver for them, and then
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they also Yeah, so every other year they always have
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a someone in their receiver corps as D one, but
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: officially not nobody yet, but we'll see what happens there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna have a really good receiving corps.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: They got a transfer from a kid from Ohio at
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: running back Benji Rice. No, he's from Indiana. Yeah, and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: he's committed a Missouri state.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So that's that's really interesting right there. So that's that's big.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And really I will say I like Nicholas Toos She
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to be there to be their quarterback. I mean, I'm
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: just I don't know if he will, but I liked
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: what I saw of him in seven on seven, which
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean a whole lot, but like he's six foot two.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I liked how he threw the ball and so he
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: just he to me looked like if I had to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: pick someone out of all the guys I rotated, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I'd probably pick him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: So that's all I'll say about that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: That's just a just a strict police guy to report
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: right there. And then their defense is always decent, you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: but usually when they lose in the playoffs, it's the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: defense that usually gives up a lot of points.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: But locally they usually do a good job.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: So I think this is a this is a solid
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Kirk with team yet again. And I'll go I will
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: say I I'll start with a floor of six and three,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and dare I say a nine?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say a nine? Oh ceiling yep, I.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Don't see like a their schedule is tough. But at
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the same time, I don't think there's like an overwhelmingly
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: good team on their schedule that I just see, like,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how they can win that game.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I think they can win every game. Obviously, Eureka, that's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: on paper, might be their toughest opponent because they just
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: they've even though they beat them twice last year. I mean,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: those are always tough games. I mean, the first time
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they beat them on the road at Eureka, that was
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a really that was a knockdown, drag out game on
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the road there. Fortunately and well actually unfortunately for Kirkwood
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: because it looks like they're gonna be on the road
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: for Eureka again, which that's gonna be really tough. And
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I think that writtener game would be pretty
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: interesting and tricky. Lafayette could be a tricky game. So
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: it's an interesting game right there. But yeah, so no,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: but I think going into most of these games, they're
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: gonna be favorite. So yeah, therefore I will say at
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: nine o ceiling in a six and three.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Four, I agree, all right, yes, all right, I'm gonna
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: shift over to we still got Pattonville.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Where are you sure.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: The pirates that came out of nowhere last year in
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: the playoffs.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we knew they'd probably win their they're.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: They're not on a mission yet. We got to go
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: to their district.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I have it. We have it on
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: here somewhere of all the schedules that have been released.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, here we go.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Okay, So Pattonville they host No, No, they're
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: at North.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: We talked about this earlier.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And then September third, Is that is that a Wednesday?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: It's Thursday? Okay, okay? Or they host Haswood West and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: then yes, okay, this all makes sense now, and then
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: they're at Lafayette for week three, they host Secman, they
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: host Parkway Central, then they're at They're at Rittner and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: they host Hazewood Central.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Park games of Saturday game by the way, awesome.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'd love to be there for that. We'll definitely have
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a camera. I don't know if I'll be able to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: be there personally because I'm gonna be goes, like I said,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: over in the Midwest, but I'll try your best to
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: have a camera there.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Could Patville Retner games.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Despite I mean Pattinville, they've won most of those games
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: over the last eight years, but all those games are
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: usually absolute cema.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're always exciting. I mean the last shoot, last.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: One, two, three, four, five, six mashups.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Between these two teams all ended in one score games.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all they are patton lictories, although they were all
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: they were all close and exciting games.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And then they end the season on the regular season
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: on the road to Hazelo East. So that's uh, not
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: an easy schedule.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: No, not a lot.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I definitely respect them for scheduling a tough out.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Of conference slate there. And by the way, this they're
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in the suburban red Okay, yes, so still.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Will they bring back Suvar Beckerman? Right?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: And he's only a junior.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, this is this is an offense that
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: is definitely threatening.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's funny because you know, Pattonville, you know.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: The school record for most singles passing yards, which.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Is crazy giveing the qbs that have come through there.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, it also says a lot about like how offensives
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: offensives have gotten better over the years in general.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, well drill West graduated, right.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He did, He he was easily their best receiver, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Terrell Lyles also graduated too, So those are the those
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: are two good and tall receivers there. So that that
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that's it's gonna be tough to replace. M hm, because
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: those those two guys, especially especially West.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: He was a baller.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I'll go with the six and three ceiling and then.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna be risky here.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with a no, I can't do it,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: never mind.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Oh I was gonna say five and four floor, but
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I'll go four and five floor.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, this is a tough schedule. I thought I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: thought you were thinking like three and six floor or
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: something like that. It's just tough.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got tough games all over the place,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: and actually one, two, three.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: There's no respite like maybe I could see.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Like and yeah central, those those three there's like those
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you know, unless something crazy happens, those are all Patenthal wins.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But other than that, that's that's all tough games.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, even with Writtener, that's not gonna be a
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Gummea is gonna find them as hard as.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: They despite Pat beating like written her for several years
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's never easy. Yeah, and there's probably times that they
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: like a lot of times they just look at each.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Other, like, how did we win that game?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Like especially last year in the regular season when they
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: were down by thirteen points in the second half, they
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: came back to win. I mean Zumont North, I mean,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I think Pall is probably on like on paper, probably
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: more skillful and talented, but Zumalt North is really well coached,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and like they like that's I probably favored North in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that game, but that that can the year really go
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: either way. At Lafayette, that's gonna be tough for Pattville.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I think they can.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Win these games.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: They really can, because I think they got more talent
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: than Lafayette does. But you know, can they just I
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: can't remember the last time they've actually beaten Lafayette though.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Second man, I think they beat Seconment at home, yeah,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I think so at Parkway Central they should beat them.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Writtener. Look, it's it's gotten out.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I mean we said this about like you know, Francis,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: how how Central like until Writtener actually does it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: We got to pick Pattle, yeah.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: And then Hayes with Central Yeah, So I think I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: really think and then I think Pattonville beats Parkway North
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and I think they beat Haywilly, So you know what.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I'll go with an eight and one seat like wow, wow, yeah.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I can't. I mean it's possible that.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: If they can get through those first two, if they
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: can split on was North, if they can split one
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: of Lafia Lafia and Parkland North, I think they can win.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You know, you get past September eleventh, which is week three,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I think they can win out the rest of those games.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I believe that just looking at that Skalu and then
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: again that Ritterer game. Go either way, but at this
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: point in time, until it happens, you got to you
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: gotta pick Pattonville because it's it's been way too long.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and that Pattonville park Way North team, that's
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I would really like that.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: That's I really like that game for whatever reason, should
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: be a rivalry game too.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, like those teams are really close to each other.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to see them play more, and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: they will be playing more at least for the next
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: two years because they're in the same conference. Okay, that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: right there is Pattonville.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Shall we shift over to the property schools.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Why not.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I'm they don't have all the schedules right here, all right,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have the We're going to go back to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Instagram here.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Well technical difficult, okay, right here, we got Parkway South.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Some people aren't a little I know. One coach told
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: me that Parkway South has been the GSB media darlings
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: this offseason. Really yeah, I've been talking. I've been saying
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: nice things about them, all right. So they start out
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: on the road at Parkway Central, then at home versus
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Parkway West, they go on the road to Clayton. I
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's a politically correct way how they
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: title it in their schedule because it just says Clayton,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't say Brentwood Clayton, and then host Webster Groves on
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the road at Oakville. Then they end they have a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: three game slate all at home with Northwest, sier Hill, McClure,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Mclair North, and then they end this season at Melville.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Juwian Scelario as our new head coach.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I like the direction they're going in.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I like how they're going to Like they were at
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the Kirkwood seven on seven, which does not. It doesn't
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: on paper, it doesn't say much, but the fact they
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: were there with like you know, U City and Kirkwood
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and Live.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: For Life says a lot.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: That like they're willing to kind of go out of
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: their out of their comfort zone a little bit, which
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: is I really like I think they started out with
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a win over Parkway Central. I think that they're I
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: think they could feasibly start out three and one or
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: they I don't see them beating Parkway West, but I
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I I think they beat Clayton.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: I think they can beat Webster Groves at home.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Man, if you could start out three and one like that,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that'd be huge for them. And then
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance they could beat McLure
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: McLure North and then possibly Melville Give.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Given the the position as program is in right now,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: this is a great schedule for them.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good conference draw, and.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's a you know, it's they didn't go
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: out and look for the worst possible out of conference games.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's a very winnable slate
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: that makes sense.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I think Central and West are out
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of conference. I mean those are suburban green teams. And
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: then McClure. I think McLure is suburban blue.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, McLure is definitely not in parperate South.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Conference, no, Yeah, and then Clayton is suburban blue.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I'll go with the five and four ceiling and the
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: three and sixty four. I think they take them into
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: a step four this year.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking six to three ceiling, but.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: They're already our media darlings. We don't have to do
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: anything too creative.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: The two games I don't see them winning at all,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: as Parkway West and then Oakville and Northwest.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: That's three games, yes, but I know, but that's.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: If things were to break their way, and all the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: other games, I think they win those games.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we will I guess we.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Will go with the the Parkway South positivity, that the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Patriot positivity.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, we just celebrated our countries two and fiftieth birthday yesterday,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: so we got to be Patriots, right.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah, I'll give that a little bit.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll go with this season very ceiling and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: then at three and six four. Again, a lot of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: things can go in a lot of different directions right here.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: So that's those are the those are the Patriots, and
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: then we got we got Oakville schedule. Yep, they start
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: this is a good game to start out the season.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: They are at Secmen and then they which the next week,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: which I think would be kind of a ravel game
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: versus Limburg.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: That's they're having their senior night in their first home
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: game in the season, which is against against Limburg, which.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Is a crazy move.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I take it you're not a fan.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care about it. That's just interesting, man. Usually
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: almost always your senior hige is going to be your
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: last home game this season.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Particularly, Yeah, So I don't know if.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: They're trying to send a messageor anything.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: But I know a lot of team there's actually it's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: not that uncommon. I've been around. I've been just over
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the years. Like you'll see senior Knights on the first
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: game first home games, So it's not as uncommon as
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: what maybe seem like. So then they're at McClure, at McClair,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: North Parkway, South Webster Groves, Clayton, at Melville, and then
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: at Northwest. I would say I think it's it's not
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: a great schedule, but I'll say a six and three
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: floor and then an eight to one Ceiling.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I think I'll agree it's the team that they want.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: They want eight games last year.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I think, But I don't think they're going to be
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: as good as they were last year, just talent wise,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: because they were they were pretty solid last year, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: then they beat Lindberg in a playoff game, which was
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: absolutely huge for them. And I like their first two games,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: but I think those are the They're two of their
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: three toughest games at the Ceiling, and their last tough
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: game I think for them will be at Northwest. So
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I think those are three good games, but then not
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: a whole lot to write home about the games in
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: between those.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: So I'm thinking Jackson Smith's gonna be their QB. He
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: was the backup last.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Year, Okay, so I think it was the starter, all right.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they've they've definitely taken a step for it
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: as a program these past five or six years, so
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: they're definitely.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Looking to continue the winning ways.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's you know, I think they can make
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: do with that. All right, Let's go back to Parkway.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: We got Parkway West. This is a team that I
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be relatively young on offense.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: They graduated over thirty seniors a year ago.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: And they.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: From what I've heard, like that they can they can
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: throw the ball around all over the place. Brandon Bierman,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: who's a sophomore, he's gonna be their quarterback, highly rated
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: player for them. And they got some some pretty promising
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: other kids in his class as well, just on both
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: sides of the ball. And then they got Max Jones
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: who's a high he's a power for recruit. He's a
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I guess he'll mix they'll mix him up between wide
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: receiver and tight end because I see like he's he's
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: graded out as both.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: As a receiver and tight end.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so they got they got weapons on offense,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: but it's just I'm really concerned about their line play.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: And then they're just their defense in general. Even though
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Gunner Holmes he's a he's a junior, he's back, but
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: they did lose a lot on defense though, and that
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: was that was a kind of an area of struggle
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: for them last year at times. So so they start
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: out Week one, they're getting right into it. This is
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a big Thursday night game as they host Parkway North.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: That is he I mean, I don't know what the
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: exact slate is week one, which games are on Thursday,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: which ones were on Friday, which one were on Saturday.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: But that's a game we might be at where I
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: least I will be at.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Then they're at.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I like what they're doing right here, Hey, each other
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: part where the Parkway School the Parkway School District took
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: a page out of the uh, the Wentsville Playbook.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: From a couple of years ago. Yeah, from last year.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: They did that last year, so I I love that.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So they're at Parkway South and at Parkway Central. Oh
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: so so the third the third game of that will
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: be the the Chesterfield.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Cup between them and Central.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, then they host Ruby Gardens, host Hazwelo East at
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Fox at Linburg. I would imagine their senior night is
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Hazwold West, and then their last game is arguably they're
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the toughest at Leadoo. So that'll be that. Hey that
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: potentially could that could be the Suburban Green Conference championship
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: game and week done right there potentially, I think like
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Fox will be a tough game for Parkway West, but.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would imagine that would come down to them
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: and we'll do there. But so.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I really hope they make a thing like a Parkway
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Cup thing or whatever.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Out of that, well we.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: With a viking along Horn the Patriot and.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, so.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Parkway North they have not gotten the better of them.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: They usually West is a bad history against Parkway North
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and it was a really close game last year and
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Parkway North won. I do think they'll beat South and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Central they should be regardings. Hazel East could be a
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: interesting game. Hazel the East loses a lot from last year,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: but they're still I mean they're still coached well, and
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: that'll be a tough game. I still think at Fox
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: will be tough, at Limburgh will be will be tough.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: They should beat Hazel West and that Liu is tough.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Uh so I could see like a four and five ceiling,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: four and five floor and six and three ceiling.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: I know they bring back one of their receivers, Max Jones.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know what else they bring back, though.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: They bring back Grayson Smith. He's a senior. He's a
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: he's a good tight end.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no, he's also junior.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, cool.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you have they have two six five athletic.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Tight ends, nice who are both juniors. They got some
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: they got some good underclassmen prospects, but uh, just their
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: their defense though, like I've some coaches have told me
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: like that's kind of a concern for them, not not
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: on West but just opposing coaches. I should say, yeah,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: so I think they can put up points, but their
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: their defense is probably might be a work in progress.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I could see them start out three and one.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That Fox game is gonna be tough. I'll give them
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the benefit of doubt. I'll say like six and three ceiling,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: but it could easily go the other way.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: So I guess do you concur with that? I do?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. All right, let's let's talk about U City.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: They start out. So they're coming off of a great
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: season and boy oh boy, like where they were like
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: just twenty twenty four, we saw them plays them at
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: East and that was just they've come.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: They are a far cry.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: From from where they were just a few years ago.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, coach Franklin's done an unbelievable.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Job that there's seriously, I mean that the attitude around
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: the program just three years ago was terrible, like nobody cared. Yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Coach Will Franklin's been just outstanding for them, and they
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: had they're fantastic season last year.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: And yeah they started the season against Luther and Charles.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: It should be an interesting match up.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: In the week two, Lawton Oklahoma.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I have no idea who they are.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: It's on the road, so they were down to Oklahoma though,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: should be interesting. And they host Northwest sier Hill that'll
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: be a really good game.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That should be fun.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: And then they are at Jennings week four that should
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: also be a fun game.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, those two.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Teams do not like each other.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Week five they host Normandy.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: That won't be a good game.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Week six, yeah they issued that pretty easily. Yes. Week
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: six they are at Brentwood.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Clayton's second straight team we've seen, not the PC and
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: just calling.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: It Clayton's Brentwood Clayton come on, get right?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well that would that would be a big chance
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: for U City to what because you've seen in Clayton
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: there they're really close to each other. What what I
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: should know? This this is so poor on me, but like,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: what's the battle for Hanley Road? It's for use to
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: these opportunity to reclaim Hanley Road after Clayton beat them in.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: Basketball this past season.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that's a big deal right there.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Sort of it probably won't be a big deal.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, then they got Melville and Afton Mclair. So
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I really think, not knowing who Lawton, Oklahoma is, I'll
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: say that's a nine and oh ceiling and a seven and.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Two floor for U City, I'll go.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I think north locally, I think Northwest is probably the
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: most likely team, if the best team to probably given
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: the toughest test.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I'll go eight and one ceiling, six and three floor.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, because I really like this.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: This is this is a tough schedule.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: This is a tough I think it's tougher than last year.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I mean I think after after week four it gets
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: significantly easier. But I think, yeah, three out of those
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: first four week four, No, they shouldn't.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: If it was a game after week four, then something's
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: going very wrong.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, but yeah, like that it's a tougher schedule than
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: last year. Because one thing that helps is that they
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: play Northwest, and I would have Jennings I think is
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: still good, and then Lawton Oklahoma could be pretty good
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and maybe maybe living St.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Charles is good.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I mean coach this year there, I mean he could
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: get them right pretty quickly.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Who knows.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's the line. I mean, it's a
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: good out, it's a positive outlook right there. You want
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: to talk about Limberg.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, let's go to the Flyers.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, Week one.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: This is so funny. I love how they did this
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: week one. They host beyond are calling the Battle of
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: the Boulevard.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Why would that be the boulevard.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Was Beyonnie off of Blmberg Boulevard?
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think it is. It is, Yes, I I
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: didn't think of it that deep.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: That that's great, it is, yeah, I think there.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if their extra dress is on Lindberg,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: but behind high schools at the corner of I.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Forty four, it's right there. I mean, how does everybody
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: get to school there?
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Exactly?
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so yes, pretty cool.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: But I mean, to be fair, several schools are off
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: of Lindburg.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: I mean right.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: There, I see, Yes, his property touches Lindburg Bovard.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: It does if you go in the back.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Saint josephs Academy. All girls schools are off Lindbergh. Yes,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: I'm just on Google maps right now.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Lenburgh and I think that's it. And then school and
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: then there's so many others. There's several other show schools
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: that are like just right off at Linburg, like Kirkwood's
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: right off of Limburg. Yeah, I could go on for
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I mean is technically right off like pretty close off Lindbergh.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Too, and yeah, there's lots.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's the battle of the boulevard trademarks right there.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: They misspelled boulevard.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Though, so oh no, okay, to on the road against
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Oakville's the Thursday night game.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, Yeah, Week three they host Segment. Week four,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: they're at Lafayette. Week five they host Summit.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: That' that'd be a Thursday night game. It looks like.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Week six they're at Kirkwood. Week seven they host Parkway West,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: eight they host Marquette, and.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: The week nine at Eureka.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Tough schedule, they return a lot of starters, though.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really ramps up at the end.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Lafayette is a tough I mean the second Lafayette that's
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: that's honestly, this is.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: The whole schedule is kind of ramped up. I was
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: gonna say, like, Parkway West is not gonna be easy.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Ny had a step forward last year. We'll see if
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: they continue that.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, but they did graduate Sam Dean, who is kind
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: of they do everything quarterback and then their quarterbacks that'd
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: be a soft actually gonna be a freshman this year.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: So that's this really is one of the tougher games,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the tougher schedules we've seen.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: For any of these public schools so far.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's still not as tough as Eureka.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is just yeah, I mean, this is this
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: is tough. Not did they they play?
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Of the nine teams they played, I think only Marquette
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: did not have at least seven wins last year.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think right, Yeah, you're right. I think Vianni
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: did they.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Have gone seven to five. I don't know an adult yet.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I think they won, like I think they
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: only won like three games of the regular season, but
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: then I think won two games in the playoffs.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Is that right? Was four and seven last year?
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's but still right, that's two. That's two teams.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: So so seven of the teams they've played on their
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: schedule all won more than all had winning records last year. Yeah, yeah,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I said that. I think I think Limberg beats Vianni.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I think they beat Oakville. Uh, big reason why they
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: lost to Oil last year is like Lindberg was in
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: there an offense that was just so bad and then
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: they changed it after that game. I think they can
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: beat Segment. Limberg's be tough, but that's winnable seconds. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: mean something is tough. I that's winnable. I don't think
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: they beat Kirkwood. They have beaten Kirkwood in the past,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: though recently, so I just can't write them off. I
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: think they beat West, I think they probably beat Marquette.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: They don't think they beat Limburgh. So I'll give them
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: a six and three ceiling. I can't remember the last
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: time they went seven and two. I'll give them a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: six and three ceiling and a four and five flour.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Last year they were really disappointing. They only won three games. Yeah,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: so I mean, if we would have given them a floor,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: they probably would have fell under it. But but I
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: think this year it's gonna be a lot better because
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: they're they're older this year, and they've they've been looking
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: forward to this season. I mean they've they've They've had
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys in the Are twenty twenty seven
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: class who have played varsity football since they were sophomores.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Just as either starters or letterman. So this is going
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: to be an experienced team for them. And like they're
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: they're they have the same quarterback they had last year.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin Fisher's back at running back, and Noah
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Norman he's been a three year starter for them now
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: at linebacker and he'll play some running back too, And yeah, yeah,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: they got some other good guys too there too.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I like the slimber team. I do.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: If their schedule wasn't so tough, i'd probably give him,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: like a maybe an eight to one ceiling.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I was about to say that's I'll go six and
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: three ceiling and three and six.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Four all right, all right, now it's time. We've got
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: to do schedule now, all right. So the Rams, they
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: will start the season off with another game. I love
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: that they're doing this. They host the CDs Rams. The
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Battle of Warson Road is officially back in the regular
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: season for the first time since twenty eleven.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: The War on Wars.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, then they are on the road.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: This is the first and this will be the only
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the second.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Time we'll do is ever played Vianni.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: This will be the first time we has played Vianni
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: since if I'm not mistaken, nineteen ninety.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: Four in the playoffs, which do lost.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Then Week three Riverview Gardens, Week four Fox both home
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: games on the road at Hazeld West, on the road
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: at Parkway North, and the easily the biggest game of
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the year, they host Eureka. Then they're at Parkway Central,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: and then they finished the season hosting Parkway West, potentially
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: for a Suburban Green Conference championship.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: If Lodu were to.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Win the games they on paper should probably be winning, well.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: This is big for lad They have most of their
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: most difficult games at home.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Which is nice, which good.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: You know, they're their toughest games are going to be Eureka,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Parkway West, and Parkway North, Eureka.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: And Parkle West at home.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: I also think Fox, well, the to.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Do has not had a fun time playing Fox.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: No, that's that's that's that's a game that's not gonna
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: be an easy game. And then that that m CD
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: S game, I think that could be a tough game too,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: just because the rival. And if that's I think that's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: the game where they might have the most pressure really
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the whole season, I think because if if you know,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: if they don't win that game. I mean, they've got
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: to get off on a you know, bad mark right there.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: But if they can win that game, that's gonna get
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: him off on the right foot. And I think said
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: a really good tone for the season right there. And
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and yeah, and this is the new team.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: They return a good amount of starters.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: A lot of athleticism across the board, and I really
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: like and it's not official, but uh, from what I
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: can tell, I think there's a really good shot that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Emmitt McIntosh is gonna be their starting quarterback. And so
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the but here's here's the kicker for him. He's grown
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: a few inches. Yeah, so he was really probably like
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: five eight five nine, but now and I'm told he's
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: about darn near close to five to eleven now. And
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that's huge because he's a he's a player where I
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: think like height was the thing that was stopping him.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Like he's he is a good quarterback, and he can
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: read it defense, and he's he's a really tough kid.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: And he had ninety tackles last year as a linebacker.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: And so now he'll potentially be the quarterback. And he's
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: been he's been a he has been a starting quarterback
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: since he was a sophomore too. I mean he was
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: at the end of the season as a as a
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: sophomore as a starter, So they I mean, Evan Vai is.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: A one of one of the best athletes in the
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: area in the state.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: They also have a really good receiver in Trevor Walker.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: He's about six three now. And then Gus Logan is
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: one of the better safeties in the area as a
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: as a junior as well, and one of your favorite
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: players bast Dickson. He's back as a sophomore. And uh,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have a really good defensive line and a
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: really good defense as well. And so it's I think
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: for I think for the new as long as they
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: can keep it simple and just and just limit turnovers
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: and just get some first downs on offense, they're gonna
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: be a very tough team to beat because they are
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: one of the more superior teams athletically in the area
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: of the season. They have incredible receiving corps and they
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: return a good portion of their line as well. So
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: you probably could see this coming from a mile away,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: but I got them.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: With a nine and oh.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Ceiling and with a I think that at the very
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: worst of six or three flour.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: Why why is that crazy that they go?
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Now, they're a good team, but it's just I'll give
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: them an eight and one ceiling, and so you think
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: there's no I'll give them five and four.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Are you telling me you think there's no way they
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: beat Eureka, because that's the only way. That's the main
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: thing that's that would be holding them back from it.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: I don't think the season, I don't think they do.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think, yeah, well, I think there's I think
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: they can't. I'm not saying they will, but I think,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like you know, if they played each.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: Other ten times, I think we do probably wins like five.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I really think it's like a fifty to fifty split
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: with these two teams this season.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: You just you're just you just don't buy that.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's there two good teams. So I'm
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: not totally against what you're saying. It's just I gotta
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: be honest here.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I am being honest. I think that's too much of
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: a homer here. That's how I genuinely feel about this.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that that Parkway North game I think could
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: be a sneaky, tough game for Ladu. The same thing
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: with CDs, and I think for the players, if you
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: guys are listening and just do not underestimate your opponents
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: like this. This is definitely a much easier schedule than
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: what they've been used to, like all these players have
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: been used to because they've has played a pretty tough
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: schedule since twenty twenty two, like the last four straight seasons,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: and now this is easily this is their easiest schedule
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: they've had this decade, really since twenty nineteen. So just
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: don't go into these games like being cocky and underestimate
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: your opponent because you know, MICS is still good, Beyoni
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: is an athletic team as well. You know, you can't
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: sleep on them, and there's no way by any means
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: who can sleep on Fox, because I mean, like if
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: they do, then underestimate them at your peril if you
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: do that, because they've beaten you the last two seasons.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: And then Parkway North is a really tough team, you know,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: and Eureka, We've said a lot about them. Eureka's got
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: being way more battle tested for the do for sure
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: going into that Week seven game. And then Parkway West
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: will be a pretty interesting game too. So I don't
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: think it's as weak as I mean, it's definitely weaker
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: than what they played in the past. But it's definitely
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: not a crap schedule by any means. So but yeah, yeah,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I think the Rams will. I think realistically they go
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: eight and one, but at best not.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: I no, do we have access to proper North schedule
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: looking forward and I can't find it.
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: I don't have one.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: I have not been able to find one, and I've
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: not seen a graphic yet.
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: If you took some time to get deep piece together,
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: who we could, because we could.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of these teams not on this.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: So a lot of these teams will like put their
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: schedules out in August, which is annoying. It's like, guys,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: like it's it's a lot better if you put these
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: out in the summer.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: But I got Hazel East scheduled right here.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about you.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: Mentioned them a handful of times here. First game.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: They I don't they don't make it clear if they're
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: hosting or not they need so it's it's Hazewood, West, Hillsboro, Kirkwood,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Rittner Parkway, West, Parkway North, Second, Hazwood Central and Pattonville.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: This is by far the toughest schedule they've had in
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: a long time, and I love it.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's a great program who just
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: parennially above five under anything. They always find way to
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: have a great rushing attack, great little optional offense.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Probably arguably the best public school program. And like Saint
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Louis history, well, like if you consider all the NFL
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: players they've produced, They've won two state championship. I know
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Webster's got four state championships, but Hazewood East, I think
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: they lead this whole state in like NFL players, no,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: in producing NFL players.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: I saw some a crazy picture. It was from a
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: news clipping from I believe god, it must have been
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight, I think, okay, almost like either late
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: eighties and early nine. I forgot they won nine and
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: ninety five, so I think was so yeah, right right
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: around that time, both Hazewoody East and Hazelo Central were
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: ranked in the top.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Ten in the country.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for football, which was insane. Also, you also got
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: a question a little bit how accurate those were back then,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: because there's no way all these those people would have
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: like known for sure, like if teams were this good,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: but you still for take it for what it's worth.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: That is still a hell of an achievement.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seriously.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hazewl doll We East, they were in ninety two, No,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: not in ninety four.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: The year before they won state, they were.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Ranked top ten of the country, but then lost to
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Pattville in the quarterfinals, which is it's pretty much been
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: known as the greatest upset in state history because that
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: was like a I think a four lost Patentville team
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: sheep or No, that was a three lost Pattonville team
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: they lost to. But then the next year they won state.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: They made it for Yes, So anyway, there's a little
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: history lesson on Hazewood East right there. Yeah, I think,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, they lost a lot of guys, but I
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: think they got a good program going forward here. I mean,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: losing Terrence Little is really hard to replace. And then
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for them too, they lost their best receiver, Dominic Bolden.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: He transferred the U City, so yeah, they don't have
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: him and him there, so it's I think it's gonna
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: be a tough, little bit tough for them this year.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they beat Hazwolod West oh no,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: so yeah, So they host Hillsborough, they host Rittner, they
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: host Parkway North, they host Segment, and they host Pat.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: That's that's good because last year they were on.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: The road a ton.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: I think they're only on the I think they're on
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: the road for only three games in the regular season
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: He's what he's Parker North game last year was a freaking.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Dog fight Parkway North. They came back to win in overtime. Yeah, yeah, okay,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: I will give them the benefit of that out. I
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: will say they beat Hillsborough, But frankly, I don't know
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: a whole lot about Hillsborough, so I could easily.
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: Be wrong there. Kirkwood, I just don't see them winning
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: that game. I don't see I.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Think Rittner beats Hazelod the East.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: I'll go seven and two ceiling.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: I'll I'll say a six and three ceiling.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know if they beat Pat Well,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they beat Parkway North. I don't
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: know what they beat Ridder if they don't know if
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: they beat Kirkwood, I'll say a sixth and this to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: be a little nice, I'll say six and three ceiling
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: and a four and five floors.
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: It's a tougher scout of than what they do, Yes,
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they instingly enough, like last year they
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: they probably should have beaten Parkway North but didn't. But
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: then they probably should have lost to park On the West,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: but they beat them, Yeah, because that they had to
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: come back from ten points in.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: The fourth quarter.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, while West had the ball like inside the thirty
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: yard line with ten minutes to go. Yeah, so I
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: think they beat segment but they did again, that game
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: can go and get them too. I mean, Second's got
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: a good team. So yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: just there's not a whole lot of gimme games for
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: I think you know, I think hazel To West and
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: hazel Centrale those are two probably their easiest games. And
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: other than that, a lot of things can go against
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: can go against their way, or you could go either
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: way for whatever.
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: You know, what it is, what it's worth. Two.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: All right, We've we've mentioned them a lot. Writtener's right here.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Huge game of the season, arguably their toughest game of
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the season. They open they host Kirkwood on the twenty eighth,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: so that's a Friday I think that could be a
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: top ten game of the week.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: So then they they host Jennings, that would be a
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: decent game, be a nice North County game right there. Yeah,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: And then again I think they're on they're hosting Markeatt. Yeah,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: they are hosting Market I remember now that Marquet's on
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: the road. That's a six o'clock game on Friday. And
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: then they're finally on the road at Hazewood East and
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: then hosting Hazewood West and then they they're graphicing.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: This is such a huge game for them.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: It says homecoming and then Black and Orange Day, so
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: that's a big deal for them.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: But against Pattonville right there.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: Uh, that's awesome.
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: It is, it is.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: It's just it's abundantly clear that that is the most
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: important game for them on their schedule right there.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: Just how much space that took up.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: And then I'm assuming they're on the road at Parkway North,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: on the road at Segment and then they have a
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Senior Night Hazel such so they got a lot of
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: home games. I think that that's like six home games
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: five Okay, tough schedule, but they're they're used to that.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: They they're definitely not a team that plays as a
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: soft schedule. I mean Ritner usually plays a tough schedule.
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: M h yeah.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: So I mean I think they have potentially got a
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: pretty good offense this this coming season. Anthony odoms In
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: a three year starting quarterback. He's just he has impressed me.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: He really impressed me last year, and I like his
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: sophomore year he showed that he's got potential.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: Then last year he showed how good he was and.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: So he was newly the ring leading rusher last year
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: and today.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: It was that was Yeah, They're their run game was
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: pretty non existent last year.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: I mean it didn't really matter most of the time.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: But that's that's that's definitely something that they're probably gonna
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: hammer home this offseason, like how do we how do
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: we improve our Russian game?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: Because you know, they.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: Just and we're probably gonna emphasize is their conditioning on
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: defense and just being able to stay focused late in
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: the game, just ending drives necessary because there are a
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: lot of times there would be third and long last
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: year and they had to lead and they would you
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: give up a big they're non conversion and then.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: Lead.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, they got a good sophomore class. They
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: had a good JV team last year. For what it's worth,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: their JV team beat East St. Louis's JV team. Huh Yeah,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's uh, that's funny to read
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: into that too much, But so I think that suggests
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: that they have some good young talent coming up, which
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: they need. I don't think they beat Kirkwood. That's that
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: that would be a big ask to win that game.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: But I think they beat Jennings. I think they beat Mark,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I think they beat Hazel East. I think they beat
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: hees with West, I think they beat Parkway North, I
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: think they beat Second and I think they beats with
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Central and I think they can beat Park Patville. So
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: I think they I have an eight to one ceiling
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: for them. Wow, feels weird saying that out loud.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: That's what we're saying. I'm gonna go. I mean, it's aoteaen.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: They won five and four last year.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: I think I will say this they do better than
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: five wins in the regular season.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: I'll go with a seven and two ceiling and.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: A might be yeah, seven tew seasons probably a little
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: bit more realistic. But I do think they have a.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I think they can punch above that ceiling and win
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: eight games in the regular season. Yeah, but you know what,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I see what you mean. I mean, until they beat Pattonville,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: you gotta assume they lose. So okay, I'll go back
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: down to seven to two, but I think I think
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: eight and one is capable. But officially say seven to
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: two now, and I agree.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: With your four.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: I mean I think you know, yeah, yeah, I'll go
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: with the five.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: I mean they could.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Markut could be better what we think, and Sectman could
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: be a tough opponent.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: Parkway North will be a tough opponent.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I agree with you there too. We
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: don't have Northwest schedule, but I think they're gonna be
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, like Cohen Stark's gonna be one of
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the better athletes in the area right there. So all right,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Well you have any closing thoughts, No, we'll.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: Have playing more teams to go over and coming soon.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:02:28

• 1:02:30
