WEEK 5 REVIEW: Eureka tops Kirkwood, SLUH shuts out Lift For Life, Festus & Seckman win rivalry games, Timberland sets scoring record, · Gateway Sports Venue Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Video Show. I'm John.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: He's Roman. We'll be discussing what happened in the St.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Louis area for Week 5.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: But before we do that, we have some college football
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: notes we'd like to talk about. First off, I know, Roman,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: you hung out with some buddies this week, and you
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: had a really wonderful hate watch with Iowa.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. beating Michigan in spectacular fashion.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I think we're all Iowa fans for the most part there.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not a Big Ten guy, but that was
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: good to see Justice be served and Iowa win that game.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: That was fun to see.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I'm sure the Epinesa family was appreciative of that one.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were, and so is Lucas Allgaier. He's a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: former MICDS player.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: He's on the Iowa Hawkeyes right now too, so I'm
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: sure he's happy for that as well. Yeah, it was good.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It was a good day. That was a good moment
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: for America right there.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then one other crazy college football thing that happened.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Former Hillsboro linebacker Austin Romain, now a linebacker at Texas Tech,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: he did what most people believe has never happened before
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: in college football history this weekend. Austin Romain got two
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: pick sixes on back-to-back defensive snaps. Which, again, I don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: know if that's ever happened before, ever. I mean, the
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: circumstances required are pretty insane. The first one, it was
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech versus the same Houston State in Lubbock. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Romain was sent on a blitz, and the pass was
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: tipped up, and he got it and ran it about
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: 15 yards into the end zone for a touchdown.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: You know, PAT, kickoff happens.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: In the very next defensive play, he drops back into
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: his curl-flat zone coverage.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: He picks it off and runs it back into the
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: end zone on the very next play. It was incredible.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I picked 12 while some people are calling me, which
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: is pretty crazy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Congrats to him. It's super cool to see St. Louis
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: area alums do cool things all over the place.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's awesome.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Mizzou lost to Mississippi State, didn't they?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Kamaru Taylor is the real deal. For the health of
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: college sports, I hope he stays in Mississippi State.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: That would be a shame if he goes in the
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: portal and goes somewhere else.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Most likely, probably will go in the portal. That's just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: how it works. College football has really kind of turned into,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in a way, like.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Soccer in Europe, where if one guy is having a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: good season for a lower tier team or a championship
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: team in England, it's like, oh yeah, that guy is
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: probably going to get snatched up by Chelsea or Man
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: United or whatever.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: That's just how it is. And that's what it's like
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: for college football now, too.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Sucks, but It's the world we're living in. Finally, even
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: though I saw Jeremiah Smith in person last year, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: saw him play Illinois yesterday.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, that guy's not human.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: He's a cyborg and he's going to go first.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: In the NFL draft this coming season. Next year.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It's that obvious. He's probably the best player in the country.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That was my takeaway watching college football this week.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Crazy weekend games and also crazy weekend games here in St.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Louis.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: First one we'll go to The big rivalry game, Eureka
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: gets the job done against Kirkwood. They win 35-24. Biggest
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: thing here was the turnovers. In the fourth quarter, Ben
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Moheskey gets a 47-yard pick-six, and that was the biggest
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: play of the game for sure.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, going into the fourth quarter, Eureka was up 21-17,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and then Kirkwood scored to take the lead.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And then they got the ball back.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: 12-21, and they got the ball back pretty quickly thereafter.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And then....
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Moheski picks it off and runs it into the end zone,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and then they forced a quick stop from Kirkwood, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: then on Eureka's next drive, Zach Kemp scrambled it from
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: 34 yards out to extend the lead of 11 points,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Was all she wrote. So congrats to Eureka, winning this game.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Defensively, they didn't do anything too crazy, but they needed.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: To get the job done.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, they.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Allowed Kirkwood offensively to have a decent game, and Kirkwood
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: got about 360 yards of offense, which is a solid showing,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: but they held the Pioneers to under four yards per rush,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: which is pretty huge. I mean, that especially got them
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: in the second half when they just couldn't sustain drives.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And that's what really helped Tariqa sustain that lead late in.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: The fourth quarter.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: And, yeah, the turnovers, man.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was only Krippel turned it over twice,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I believe, but one of those was that pick six,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and that was the play of the game.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think also this game solidified that Zach Kemp is.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: One of the best quarterbacks in the area.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And I know his, like, he was, passing-wise, he was
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: just okay, 9 of 18, but 174 rushing yards, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: then got that, yeah, he had three rushing touchdowns, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: then he had that big run near the end of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the game to get that separation that Eureka really needed,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: because it would have been really interesting if, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Kirkwood would have had a chance with the ball and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: potentially win the game if you know, he does, if
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: they don't score on that ensuing drive, but you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that was when Eureka had all the momentum, just getting
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that pick six, getting another stop and then scoring.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Right after that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So no, but he had a, he had a heck
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of a game and he's been, he's been their best
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: player this season. He's, I mean, he's their leading rusher
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and like, you know, passing wise, he's thrown for, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: think close for a thousand yards at this point right now.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And no, he, yeah, he's actually at 932. So he's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: really close to that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And he's got, eight touchdowns no interceptions a 125 quarterback
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: rating which is really good and he still even though
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: he was like 50 in this game he's still throwing
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: for over 70 of his passes and completing them so
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: yeah i just can't say enough about him he's been
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a big revelation for the wall of cats this year
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: like six rushing touchdowns and eight touchdown passes yeah he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: he's really good and um For Kirkwood, that was their
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: first big test of the season. Looking at their schedule,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: they've been solid, but Eureka was their first big test
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and they didn't get it done. Eureka, on the other hand,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: they were essentially a two-point conversion stop away from being
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: undefeated against Hannibal.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's a really good-looking 4-1 record.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: They've beaten two top-10 teams now with Kirkwood and then
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: going back to the first game of the season against Troy.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Then they knocked off a an okay Summit team and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: an okay Parkway North team.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, they're in really good shape right now. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: really like them.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, their communication on the defensive side of the ball
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: has been a lot better, which definitely helps out.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the team that talks the most
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: tends to win the most. And the one game where
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: turnovers were an issue was the Hannibal game, and they
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: fixed that. I mean, being able to keep the ball
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: safe against Kirkwood is so huge. And for both teams,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: looking ahead, they both– Play looks like kind of the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: same teams these next four weeks.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think either of these teams loses a game
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the rest of the way in the next season.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: They shouldn't, at least.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: It'll be hard. I mean, you know, any given Friday.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: But the conference, the Suburban Yellow isn't looking as beefy
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: as what it looked like initially before the season. Because, like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you know, Lafayette and Summit are both 2-3, which is,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I think, pretty unexpected. And then Marquette's actually doing... really
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: what I thought they could be doing, like being 3-2.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And then Lindbergh, you know, they're 0-3, and we'll talk
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: about this later, but now they're 2-3, and they've gotten
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: some decent wins. So, yeah, it's... I would say that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Kirkwood and Eureka are the two best teams, but it's still,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: by no means, a walk in the park for both
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of those teams as well, these next four games.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Alright, next up, we'll go down the line from our
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Week 5 games. Slough High defeated Live for Life in
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: a Pretty gritty one here that, I mean, kind of
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: went how most.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Of us expected.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: The Junior Bills win 14-0. And the Slough High defense
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: continues to impress. I mean, they held live for life
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to 76 yards on the ground, less than three yards
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: per carry. Three different QBs played for live for life
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: this game.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, their offense has struggled all season. They're trying
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: anything at this point.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and, you know, Slough High offensively, Didn't do much either,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: but they were able to run the ball somewhat effectively.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: They had 187 rushing yards and almost five yards to carry.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: They kept the ball safe. I mean, they kept the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: ball mostly safe. They had one interception. I think that
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: was the only turnover. Got sacked a few times, but
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: other than that, Slough High had six sacks on defense.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: And all six of those sacks were by different guys
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: as well. So I feel like this is like the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: third week in a row that I've talked about Slough
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: High getting a lot of sacks by different guys.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: So, again, this just goes to show the athleticism and
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: just ability to do their jobs for the Junior Bills
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: and especially get home in the pass rush and slew
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: high forced two turnovers for themselves. So, again, this Junior
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Bills defense is really incredible and is the reason why
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: they are winning these games and why.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: They're 4-1 so far.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Pat Stein was still in the quarterback.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: What's interesting is, like, Pat goes by Pat, and then
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Patrick Romello goes by Patrick. So that's interesting right there.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Those are the two quarterbacks, both named. I'm assuming their
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: full names are Patrick. But anyway, yeah, Stein had 108
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: rushing yards to lead the junior bills and the rushing department. Yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it seems like offensively they're just trying to piece things together,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and they're doing a decent job at doing that. I mean,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it was 14-0 early in the second quarter, so it wasn't,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you know, they got out on live for life early,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and then... You know, just did enough to hang on.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Live for Life, they have a really good defense. That's
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: not been out of the question all season so far.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, their defense is really the reason why they've
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: won two games.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we saw it in person in Week 1.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Live for Life's secondary is legit.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: They're very good. That's one of the reasons why I
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: just couldn't get anything done in the passing game.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Live for Life is good at keeping everything in front
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: of them and also not giving the offense too many
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: free stuff in the flats, which a lot of times
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: can happen if you're just selling out in Cover 4.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: You're leaving some of the flats open for dinks and
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: dunks every here and there. But no, Live for Life
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: is really, really good in man coverage. I mean, they
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: could afford to just sit and cover two-man, and their
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: corners are athletic enough where they can hang with anybody.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: But it's going to be tough to do when your
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: offense can't get anything done.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so not a whole lot of action in this one,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: but SLU just gets it done again. They're starting to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: become really good at just winning the games that they
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: should be winning. And, you know, I think, yeah, these
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: last two seasons, they've done a really good job at
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: doing that. Okay, so, yeah, the Bills are now 4-1.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Next up, CBC versus Lipscomb, and this looked like a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: really good game, but ultimately CBC falls short 35-34 on
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the road in Nashville.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Most important points are?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Extra points. Yep.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, CBC's first score of the game was actually a
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: kicker turn touchdown by Arness Webb in the first quarter,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and on that touchdown they missed the PAT and lost
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: by one, which is brutal to see. But offensively, another
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: great showing by the Cadets. I mean, Dylan Austin Harvey
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: continues to impress. 16 of 31, 266 passing yards, one touchdown,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: no interceptions, 156 rushing yards on 16 carries. So, I mean,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: he had some pretty big shoes to fill, to say
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the least, just given what Nick McClellan did last year
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: for the Cadets. And I wouldn't say Austin Harvey is
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: doing as insane as his predecessor, but he's having a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: heck of a year, a really, really incredible year. He's
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: doing everything he needs to do at QB to put
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: CBC in a.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Position to win.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: We were wondering coming into the year about the athletes
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: they would bring back on offense, and they were able
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: to reload pretty well. I mean, Kingsman Pike had a
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: solid game, five catches, 101 yards. Arness Webb, he had
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the kick-turn touchdown, five catches, 80 yards as well for him.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: It just looks like defensively they forced one interception, which
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: was good. They also recovered a fumble. It just looks
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: like they allowed a few too many big plays. It
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: says on here that for Lipscomb they had a 62-yard
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: pass touchdown in the first quarter, a 46-yard rush touchdown
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: in the second quarter, and then a 67-yard rush touchdown
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in the third quarter. So it's too many big plays
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: left for CBC, which is unfortunate.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen the films. I'm not sure if it's just.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: a blown coverage, or if it's just not wrapping up
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: in their tackles, or what it might be, but, um,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: and then, for the rest of their regular season, I
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: think CBC should be fine, I mean, they play Raven Gap,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: which last.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Year was a, that's a really good team, they're, they're.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: A good team, but they're not as good as they
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: were last year, um, and we'll talk about that next episode,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: but that's a game I think CBC should win, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: they play Chaminade and Conference Play, and then they're at Ritter,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: which should be a very fun one in Week 8, but, Yeah, CBC,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: if they get the tackling down, they should be okay.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, that'll be... I think they're okay so far. 3-2,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: but a really, really competitive 3-2.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, now you just mentioned Carter Ritter. They got blown out.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: 50-6 over St. James Performance Academy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the stats aren't in on this game. I did
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: see a couple clips floating around on Twitter. And we've
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: heard of these prep schools in high school basketball where
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: it's pretty much just guys come in from all over
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: parts of the region and play for these random schools.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And it's not even really like a real high school.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: It's just like a basketball-focused business, really. And that seems
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: to me what St. James Performance Academy is because from
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: these clips I saw, they were playing at this indoor
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: facility without any bleachers.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Like, there's no stands there.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: That's so weird.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Like, it was just like a... That's not what high
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: school football should do. Like a large indoor college practice
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: facility type of thing that you can imagine.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: So, like, there's no people watching there?
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: There were a few standing around on the sidelines, I believe.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just... That just doesn't sit well with me. Like,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: there should be more people, especially at a game of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that quality. So, yeah, that's just.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Not that it's inherently wrong or like that, but I just...
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It's so weird. That's not like what high school football
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: is like.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I know, like, it's... Again, it's not inherently a bad thing,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: but that is just not... The high school experience is,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: if you're playing football, you know what?
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Fridays are everything. And your whole week revolves around that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: You play your heart out.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: And then for everyone else who's not playing, that's where
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: your community comes together. Parents, fans, students. And that's where
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: you make friends, talk to people, hang out on the weekends.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: and you don't find that here, which I think is
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: really unfortunate.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, anyway, but we do know that St.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: James is a heck of a football team.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Top ten in the country. According to the massive ratings,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I think is what it is, or rivals or whatever.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we knew that Ritter going all the way
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: to Virginia, I think it's a really good team.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, one of the best teams in the country, essentially.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: had their hands full, and they've had their hands full
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: all season. This is a question. They're 1-4 now.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Do you think they may have bit off a lot
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: more than they could chew with this schedule that they've had?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Or are they still like, you know what.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's all about the playoffs? If they can stay injury-free,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: then they're fine. I think the only drawback would be
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: if they get overly hurt.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Because this.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Well, number one, if they stay healthy, and number two,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: if they don't let this stuff get into their heads
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Because Cardinal Raider is still a great football team. Don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: get me wrong. I mean, they have some of the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: best perimeter speed in the Midwest, to be totally honest.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm hoping that they can still come together as
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a team and just know that what they are going
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: through is what almost no one else in the country
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: goes through when it comes to a schedule like this. Mm-hmm.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: And I'm hoping they can stay healthy and just learn
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: a lot, really.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, because of the current Missouri format, they're incentivized
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: to do this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, they really are.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Because they're confident and they should be confident that they
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: don't need to play at home to succeed in districts,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: then why not do this? Because given the current Missouri format,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: the only reason to win– regular season games is for
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: a better district standing, which only guarantees you three weeks
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: of being at home.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And that's it. Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: So for a team like Ritter, I respect the heck
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: out of what they're doing. Um, I just hope that
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: it doesn't bite them in the tail and come season's end.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Uh, they, they.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Were back home against a neighborhood central, which is not,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you know, not top 10 of the country for sure.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Uh, and then live for life.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Um, so I'm, I'm, I'm thinking that they'll kind of
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: be able to settle back into a normal routine, uh,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And they'll be back in Missouri the rest of the season.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So that's good.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: They took a trip to Tennessee a couple weeks ago
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: and then up at St.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: James this past week. So no more big trips for them,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: which I think is huge. These are high school kids
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: that are not used to.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: They do got to go to Jackson, but it's only
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like two hours.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: That's not too bad. They did that last year.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're used to it. They're fine.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: But yeah, again, I'm not worried about the Lions.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I'm really not. I mean.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: If any other team in Missouri had this schedule, it
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: would look like this or worse record-wise, honestly. But yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be okay.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I'm just hoping they can stay healthy. That's the only if.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, because I know Ryland Moore, he got
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: hurt against Millard South, and I'm not sure if he
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: played against.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Which actually could have.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe contributed a lot offensively for them, why they only
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: put up six points, but... I don't know if he played,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play because
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: they only scored six points, which that's pretty shocking. Even
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: despite against a really good team, for Ritter to only
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: score a touchdown, that's.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Good on St.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: James because that's really hard to do against an offense
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: of Ritter's caliber. Yeah, this is a big-time schedule. People
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: are already telling me, like, is Ritter not that good?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, this is a really hard schedule.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it. This is what could have happened.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure their coaches, like, you know, every year
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: before you start a season, you know, you wonder, like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: how are we going to shake out? Like, what could
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: we possibly do with this? Like, you know, you look
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: at all scenarios. I'm pretty sure their coaches envision.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Like, hey, look, you know, DeSmet, Knoxville Catholic, North, South, St. James.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: It's like, we could start one and four here, like,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: if things don't go our way.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: But I'm sure a lot of the players probably did
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: not envision this because knowing them, they probably thought, yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: we're going to take care of business because that's what
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Ritter does. And obviously as a player, you want to
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: have positive thoughts.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You don't want to think, oh, we're going to lose
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: all these games.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think for a lot of these players here,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they've got to do some, obviously if this is a
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: little shocking to some of them, they've got to do
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit of soul-searching but also realize this is
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit of adversity here, but you know you
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: still got the playoffs to look forward to and you
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: still you know there's still time to like kind of
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you know you're not gonna have the best record but
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you could be a you know damn good five and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: four or four and five team like going into the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: playoffs you know you still got you know with for
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: life CBC and Jackson coming up and like if you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: beat if you win those three games and this Ritter
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: team looks really good all of a sudden again so
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: yeah there's that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah Next up, we go to the Battle of Jeffco.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Festus beat Hillsboro 20-0.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: This is one of the best games of the week.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: No stats in for this game, unfortunately.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Festus increases their win streak over the Hawks to four
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: in a row now.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: And yeah, stats aren't in. I haven't seen any film
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: in this game, so I can't really speak much of it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Festus is there without Parker Perry. But their defense is.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I mean... Summit being the one outlier, but other than that.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: 28 points allowed over the last four games combined.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, including a tough loss to St. Mary's where they
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: only gave it 14 points. Their offense is.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Obviously, without your quarterback, you're not going to be as efficient,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: but their defense is really good.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that much.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: That's one of the things they were pretty excited about
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: going into this season. Aiden Shermer, Braden Wilkes, Antonio Pinkston...
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Just to name a few, there's some really good players there. Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: they're looking really good. Obviously, for Festus, whenever he can
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: beat Hillsborough, that's a big deal since they're big rivals.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got it done.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Staying in Jeffco, Seckman defeated Fox 26-20. In overtime. In overtime.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: This was a fun one. 20-20 going into the.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Excuse me. Seckman was leading 20-14... in the fourth quarter,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: and then with about two minutes left, Jude Pribish for
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: the Warriors sneaks in for a touchdown, and they miss
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the PAT to take the lead.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: So that's why it went into overtime, 20-20.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: And then Seckman stopped Fox completely on their first possession
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: of overtime, so then any score would have won. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: then in overtime, Jackson Jablonski punches it in for the Jaguars.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Final score, 26-20, PAT not necessary.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Funnily enough, Seckman, in their first score of the game,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: they missed their kick. Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: So really, really crazy game. Very, very fun game to
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: be at. I'm sure. Um, really a hard nosed football here.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: There were, um, 13 combined pass attempts the entire game,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: both teams. So that's, that's some fun stuff.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Two, two large schools as well. Two St. Louis area,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: large schools. That's, that's very rare to see that. Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: And, um, both QBs, I think they're pretty good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, uh, Freibich did what was necessary, but Jablonski,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: he did excellent.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: He played his heart out.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: 5-on-5 from the ball, 27 yards, but then 41 carries
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: for 229 yards in the game-winning touchdown, along with two
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: other rushing touchdowns.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: He really put the team in his back whenever he
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: needs to. Not afraid of contact.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: It's funny because most QBs and most spread offenses, they'll
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: try and get out of bounds than they can or
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: slide or do whatever. But no, Jablonski is happy to
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: go into contact and power through and get yards after contact,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: which is what you'll see from these optional offenses, which
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: is great. Hopefully he can stay healthy, and I'm sure he.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Will because he's a really tough kid.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was a really big win for Seckman
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: because they were already without Brody Cube, and then they
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: were without Connor Bayer, their backup quarterback.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: So Jablonski.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: He's been a really good runner for him, so I
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: think they just basically put him in a wildcat or
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, now you're our quarterback.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: And they'll have him.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: They don't do anything too crazy past the ball, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: they'll have him drop back on occasion and make short throws.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: He gets it done.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: You don't need to have some kind of insanely huge
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: 200-play playbook at the high school level. All you need
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: is a playbook big enough to win. And, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars are finding a way to get that done,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: and they're 4-1.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Also, just a real quick shout-out, Jacob Edwards threw 201
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: rushing yards and two touchdowns. By far his best game
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of the season for Fox.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Man, another tough loss for the Warriors against Sackman. Yeah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: And next up, Marquette. They get back to the win column.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: They sneak one out against Lafayette, 27-21.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Came down to the last play of the game. Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Plenty of crazy....
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Crazy close finishes in this one. Um, Lafayette doesn't have
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: their stats in, but, um.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Game came down to, I think like a, I think
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: ball was at the two yard line or the one
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: yard line. And Lafayette, I mean, they're down by six
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: and if they score, they most likely win with a
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: PAT if they made it, but Marquette stopped them short
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And that was the game right there. Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: For Marquette, they, they did enough to win, which was huge.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: They get, they kept the turnovers down and they, uh,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: They forced two fumbles and got them back, and then
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Jordan McNeil and Andrew Oldham got some very well-timed sacks.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Congrats, Mustangs. They're now 3-2, right? Yeah, they're 3-2. Yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: they are. Jermon Abbott had a good game.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: 17 yards, or 17 carries for 116 yards. Two touchdowns
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: for him. And, yeah, they're just.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: That's a big win for over Lafayette for sure.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've been a tough team to play against
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: over these last few years, obviously. And, uh, they've typically
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: kind of had, uh, Lafayette's number, um, before like 24
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and 25, but, uh, now they got, they get one
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: back and you got to feel for Lafayette.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, they easily could be undefeated right now.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: They, I mean, they lost by five to Pattonville lost
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: by one to Lindbergh on a, like a last second
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: hook and lateral. And then, um, or like what, two or, like,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: one or two yards away from, from beating Marquette, and
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: they lose by six, so, yeah, Lafayette, they're two and three,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, and they're not bad, I mean, they beat
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Timberland in the first game of the season, Timberland's four
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: and one, they look pretty good right now, so, yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I think that's, yeah, it's a tough record, and, and obviously, yeah, like, you,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, because Pattonville's undefeated. They nearly beat them, but
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: then the next week they lose to Lindbergh, and so
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: you're thinking, oh, well, okay, Lafayette's not that good. But
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: then they almost get past Marquette, who's definitely not a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: bad team.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: In fact, they're probably above average.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is me being a nerd,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: but this has to be the lowest variance among the
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: first five games the team has ever played, because Lafayette's.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: 2-3 so far.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Their first game was a 28-21 win. Their second game
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: was a 27-20 win. Third game was a 26-21 loss.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And then a 28-27 loss. And then a 27-21 loss.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: So all five of their games have been by one score.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: The winner has never scored more than 28 points.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: And the loser has never scored less than 20.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: So they find a way to keep it close, keep
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: it exciting, and at a moderate scoring amount. I mean,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: there's nothing too crazy going on here. You kind of
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: know what you're going to get. We'll see how long
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: that keeps up.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance that keeps up with Summit.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I think so, too.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I think that should be interesting, but we'll see. Next up,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: let's go to... St. Mary's went to Kansas, and.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: They made light work of Hayden Catholic.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: They showed who's boss, and we kind of saw this coming.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Hayden Catholic wasn't... I mean, we kind of just looked
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: at the record and knew that they weren't that crazy
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: of a team, but.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: St.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Mary's gets it done, and yeah, 49-28 was the final
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: score on this one. The stats aren't.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: In, but I was vaguely following it on Twitter, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: it seemed like St.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Mary's had a pretty sizable lead.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: The entire game. They did. It was a blowout by halftime. Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: And then, oh, this one you texted me about as
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: it was happening.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Ladue put the hammer down on Parkway North. My goodness.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Roman, this is a really good Ladue team.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And I know they've already kind of made that claim
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: with beating MICDS and Vianney.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: But something about just going on the road to Parkway
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: North and taking care.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Of business was pretty big for them because they scored
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: on their second play from scrimmage on I think it
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: was like a 75-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Walker where
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: North kind of bit on a little screen action and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: just completely left Walker all alone downfield, and they scored
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: on that. Emmitt McIntosh threw four touchdowns in the first half.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: That's the second game this season where he's thrown four touchdowns.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He's now, I think, he's got 12 touchdowns and just
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: one interception.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Rams have been just really efficient.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: When they're not committing holding penalties, Lou is really hard
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: to stop offensively.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: They usually score or have a long drive.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Once again, their defense, they gave up a you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it looked like it could have been potentially a shootout
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: because Parkway North on their second play from scrimmage, Alex
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Harvey scored on a, on a bubble screen. So like
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: a long, um, like a, again, it was like a
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: 75 yard or something like that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Um, yeah, but then we'll do just, that was like
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the one.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Mistake they had all game defensively and they locked Parkway
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: North down and then just their offense couldn't be stopped.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: And then later on in the second half of the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: do force a couple of turnovers, including a pick six
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: by Roman Brown. And, yeah, they pedaled to the metal
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and got their second 50-point win.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And, you know, third game where they've scored over, you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: at least 49 points. And, yeah, this is– they're rolling.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: The Rams are rolling, man.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a matchup in a couple weeks that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: could be probably the most intriguing out-of-conference matchup in St.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Louis County. uh, where they host Eureka.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I'm already calling it the suburban Superbowl.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Now it should be fine.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm guaranteeing like the teams on both sides are
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: going to eat that up.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Uh, heading over to Metro East, uh, East St. Louis
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: takes care of business and they defeat Edwardsville 35-0. But
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: this was a game, especially in the first half, that
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: was a lot closer than what people would have initially thought.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: It was 14-0 at halftime, right? And you, I think
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: you were there, right?
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I was there. Yeah. Um, I mean, it was 0-0
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: after the end of the first quarter.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: And Edwardsville, they even forced a turnover. Like, they got
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a fumble. Fumble recovery in East St. Louis territory. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: they were within, like, two yards of scoring a touchdown.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: But they ultimately were denied. East St. Louis had a
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: pretty good goal line stand. And defied them.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I think, ultimately... My memory's a little blurred after that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I think they eventually didn't score and then punted the
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: ball back to Edwardsville, but then got a stop and
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: then got the ball at a reasonable position. That's when
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: they finally got going. Offensively, it was the Ronnie Go
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Miller show. He had three touchdowns on the game, two rushing,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: one receiving.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: That guy can do... He can kind of do everything.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: 276 rushing yards on the game on just 15 rushes.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he had his only reception was an
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: 11-yard touchdown reception, which actually.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Was the first score of the game.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Reece Shanklin was okay, 14 of 23 for 179 yards.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, the offense, passing-wise, I mean, the reason why
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: East St.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Louis was struggling was they just had a hard time
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: establishing a passing game. I'd also give tons of credit
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to Edwardsville's defense, who they all... they really played a
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: heck of a game. I mean, the only allow 30,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I know this is again, moral victories.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Whatever, but I mean, the only allow 35 points at
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: East St.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Louis, um, you know, especially 14 in the first half is,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: is a pretty good sign that like you can do
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that against a lot of other teams, um, and have
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: a lot more success with.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: That as well.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: So, um, no, I think, you know, I don't know,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: like in a weird way, like there might be some
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: East St. Louis fans who probably walk away that game
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: more unhappy than like Edwardsville fans in, in, kind of
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: a perverse way. But I think Edwardsville, they can hang
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: their heads high on defense and offensively.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're just limited. I like who they have.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: They've got some athletes on offense, but there's just only
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: so much you can do against a physical, incredibly athletic,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: hard-hitting East St.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Louis defense.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: It seems like over recent years, Edwardsville has done a
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: pretty good job of playing to their best against East St.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Louis. Yeah. Yeah. it's really hard.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's so hard for these SWC teams to
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: kind of get up for East St. Louis because just
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: over the years, they've just been beaded down all, you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: for so long.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: You just, it's so easy to just think like, okay,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: let's just, it's East St. Louis week.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Let's just get through this, you know, like let's just
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: not get hurt, mitigate any disasters and just kind of
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: move past it. But no, it doesn't seem like Edwardsville
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: takes it like that. You know, it's a, They had
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: a good crowd as well, obviously.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: They want to see Edwardsville beat East St. Louis and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: just see East St. Louis as well.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I thought Edwardsville put on a good showing for probably
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: three quarters or so. They're still 2-4 and they have
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: a big game against O'Fallon coming up.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: That could be a pretty good game.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Heading over to the GAC for a few games. Troy
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: runs all over Zamont West.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Final score of this one was 48-26.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Troy making a big case as the team to beat
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: in the entire GAC.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Carter Schaefer had a near-perfect game, honestly.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: He was 14-20 from the ball, 302 passing yards, two touchdowns,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: zero interceptions. And then Trelokoko, it seems like he is
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: now the bell cow back for the Trojans.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: 21 carries for 211 yards for him. getting into the
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: end zone as well.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Donovan Miller and Connor Ryan each had an interception
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: as well on the defensive end. Nothing too crazy scoreboard-wise
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: when it comes to the deficit of the game, but
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Troy was in control of this one really the whole time,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: and offensively they had a great game. Defensively they had
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: some hiccups, but pretty solid game as well, and Troy's
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: now 4-1.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like some of their guys on defense, like
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Tristan Wilkie, Colton Ray, and Caleb Jacobsmeyer.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: To name a few guys, they've been pretty good. You
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: mentioned Conor Ryan had an interception.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, it was about their offense tonight, or, yeah,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: in that game. Second time this season they've scored 48
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: points in the game. Schaefer's one of the better quarterbacks
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: in the area. I've been impressed with him all season,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and it's good. I mean, I know Lococo, I think
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: he was out for the first few games dealing with injury,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: but he's back, and he had a decent game against
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Francis South Central when I saw them play them last week. Um,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: and yeah, now that they got, it seems like they
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: got it and he, he, he's a big boy too. He's, he's,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: he's like about six one or at least seems like that. He's,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: he's strong and he's, he's got some speed. So, um,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: to have a good quarterback like Schaefer and a big
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: running back like Lococo, that's a tough offense to stop
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: right there. And, um, yeah, they certainly proved, uh, proved
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: that against Zumo at West.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: So the, yeah, Trojans are now four and one. They
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: got hell North coming up this week, so they should,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I think they should be fine. And, uh, yeah, this is,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: it's a, Pretty good Troy team right here. Another good
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: season they have going for them. Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: And over in the GAC North, the last undefeated team
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: remaining in the GAC.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: How about that? The St.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Charles West Warriors. They're 5-0. They defeat Orchard Farm 35-14.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: And this rushing attack for St. Charles West is legit.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: They had four guys with 11 or more carries this game.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: As a team, they have 51 carries for 327 rushing yards, 6.4
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: yards per carry. Christian Mitchell had three rushing touchdowns. He
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: is the QB for the Warriors. And then Stephon Abington
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: also got into the end zone a couple times. And
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: this is a team that just knows how to grind
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: out plays and get those five, six-yard carries to do
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: it over and over and over again and really sustain
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: blocks downfield, which is huge for them.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Maddox Sikma, again... Got two interceptions this game. That's insane.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Two games in a row with two picks for him.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: That's crazy. I mean, how often does that happen?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: No.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: That's pretty insane. Ed Hogan also got a sack.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: He's chasing Austin Romain's shadow, I guess.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: He is. He definitely is. I'm not sure what the St.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Charles West single-season interceptions record is, but just for the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: last two games, Sikma's put himself in the conversation for
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: breaking that record.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: He's got seven already this season.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: That is.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I'm going to try and do some research between episodes
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: of what the.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: And he's had three games with multiple interceptions.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: That's incredible. If we go to– okay. I'm going to
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: try and find out what.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: The– And he leads the area in interceptions as well.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, yeah, seven so far through
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: five games is pretty crazy.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: He's just a ball hawk.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's really good at– not keeping his eyes
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: stuck in the backfield and just tracking the receiver down
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: and knowing how to play the ball well.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, congrats to the Warriors.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: They're 5-0.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, they are now a big favorite to lock
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: down the GAC North.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: They had the rivalry game against St. Charles this week.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got Warrington and Orchard Farm out of
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Holt should be a, you know, I would say St.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Charles West is better than Holt, but that's not some
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: kind of, you know, push over team. You know, they
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: got to do their hardest to win that game. And
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: then it's more at least to end the year, which
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: is a game they should win. So there, there's a,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: there's a high likelihood that if they take care of business, St.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Charles West can finish this season. I don't know what
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: should be huge for them. That would be the first
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: time they've done that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: And I think long time this century.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think, yeah, I think you're right.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Um, they had some pretty good teams in the mid
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: two thousands.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Um, I know like they went, they got to the
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: semifinals in 2014, but they lost and they lost their
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: first two games of the season that year.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Um, Yeah, they had.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Some multi-ten win seasons there, but I think this is
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: the first time they would potentially go undefeated.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Though, in a season.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, so the record for.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Interceptions in a season by one player was done by
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Chris Healy of Worth County back in 2001.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: In 12 games, he had 19 interceptions, which is insane.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Um isn't worth counting are they are they uh 11
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: man that's like.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: A class one school they might be eight man now
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: i think they're eight man now okay i guess back
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: in 2001 they were 11 man but um the record
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: for pick sixes in a season is five by tommy
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: saunders in 2003 of.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Carney yeah it was a mizzou receiver.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah so hopefully uh sick muck and you know make
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: your run of those um those records funny enough um
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: NFL Hall of Famer Steve Atwater, he had 14 interceptions
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: in a season, and that puts him fifth ever in Missouri.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: History.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: He played for Lutheran North.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Awesome. So, yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: It's always fun to look at the record books.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty crazy stats.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Shifting gears, Lindbergh.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: They're not dead yet.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: They were never dead. They're fighting back after a rough start.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: They've won two in a row. They scrapped one out
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: against Summit 16-14, second straight, one score win. They actually
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: had a game-winning safety with about two minutes left here.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: That was the difference with the game.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: How often do you see that? The game was tied.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Well, Summit was actually up 7-0 at halftime, and then
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Noah Norman.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Just put the team on its back.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: He's been that guy ever since he was a sophomore.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Norman brought back the opening kickoff of the second half
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: for a touchdown. for the Flyers first score and then
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: a couple drives later they force a summit punt and
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: then Lindbergh takes over at their own 36 yard line
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: and then Norman gets a 64 yard rush touchdown to
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: get in the end zone again so it was 14-14
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: going into the fourth quarter teams exchange punts go back
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: and forth and then Lindbergh forces a safety with a
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: little less than two minutes left and they got the
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: ball back and were able to run up the clock after.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: That for the 16-14 win.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, I mean, Summit offensively had an okay game.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had 307 yards total.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Uh, it's not bad. Uh, no, it's not too bad.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: It's not bad at all. I mean, that's... They outgained Lindbergh,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: but they did give up two turnovers.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Yep, the turnovers and special teams. I mean, that kickoff
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: from touchdown was huge. Um, Norman had 20 carries for
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: 142 yards. Um, And yeah, not the prettiest of ways,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: but Lindbergh will take it. They will absolutely take it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: It's kind of Lindbergh football right there. It's never usually pretty,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: but they find a way to win. Yep. Yeah.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: The Iowa of.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Seriously, that was an Iowa football game right there.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: In the.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Briefly, going back over to the GAC, Warrington turbo-clocked 49-14...
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Stats are in for this one, but Warrington kind of
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: gets back in the win column of 3-2 now.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Northwest, they beat McClure North.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Pretty convincingly.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Not too surprising, honestly. I mean, final score of
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: this one was 36-6. Funny, because they won last week 35-6,
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: so another kind of quirky stat line there.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Cohen Stark looks like he's back on track running the ball.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: 11 carries, 204 yards for him. That's just under 20
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: yards per carry, which is pretty insane. He was able
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: to get in the end zone twice. And, yeah, I mean,
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: they were up 14-0 at the end of the first quarter,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: 21-0 at halftime.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: Did they have any turnovers? I don't think they did.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: So they were able to take care of the ball,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: get the job done. Big stuff for the Lions. They're
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: now 4-1. And then a couple other teams that are 4-1,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: from Franklin County, Borgia, they're 4-1.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: They defeated Tolton by a point, 29-28.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I think that was a comeback win for them. Yeah,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: So they were down 14-0 at halftime.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: They went on a 22-7 run to end the game
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: in the third quarter and the fourth quarter. And Coach
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Boyd Manning had quite a bold call because Borja was
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: down 28-21 in the fourth quarter. And then with a
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: minute left, Cash Chartrand runs it in for 19 yards
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: to make it 28-27.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: And then Coach is.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Like, you know what?
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: We're going for two. Another two-point conversion.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Cash Chartrand connected with Dominic Maciejewski for the two-point conversion
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and took the lead. And the defense clutched up and
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: was able to end the game with a win, which
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: is huge for them. Cash Chartrand, another solid game, 17-28,
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: 21 yards, one touchdown, one interception, 96 yards on the
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: ground for him. Borchers 4-1. This is a solid team
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: that kind of gets slept on. A small school out
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: in Franklin County, but they're putting together good years so far.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: And another 4-1 Franklin County team is Union.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: They beat Owensville 48-6. They faced some not-too-good teams, to
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: be totally fair. They played Herman. I think they're winless.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: They played Pacific, who's also winless, but They won these
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: games with a lot of points.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: They're not just sneaking by bad teams. They're crushing these
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: bad teams.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: And so, yeah, definitely a good showing so far for Union. Yeah,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of any other games.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: There's another 4-1 team that I happened to be at
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: on Thursday, and that was the war in Wentzville between North.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Point and Timberland. Oh, yeah. This is a pretty awesome game,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: and historical, because Timberland.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: 116 points combined in this game.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Timberland set a school record for most points in a
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: game with 70.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Breaking their... I forget what year it was, but they
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: scored 63 points in a game.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: It hasn't been a Monty Ball game, right?
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: It felt like that, kind of. I mean, it was really,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: offensively for them, kind of a big team effort, where... Oh,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: they don't have their stats in!
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: No!
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, jeez. Okay, well.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Of all games to put your stats in, you'd think
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: that this would be it. Actually, maybe they're still putting
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: their stats in as we speak.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: It's taken a while.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: It's probably taken a long time.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to piece these together. But, no, since I was there,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I fortunately have a good memory. So, Tavern Williams.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, there were some narratives going into this game,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: and obviously he was the biggest one because, you know,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: for the first three years of his career, he was
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: a North Point Grizzly, but then he transferred this offseason–
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: stay in the same district, stay in Wentzville, going to Timberland.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: He had a big-time game in this one. I don't
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: know his stats, but he threw for a few touchdowns.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: He rushed for a few more, too.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: I was really impressed with Calvin Smith, junior running back,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: and then Aiden Jackson, who's now on my radar.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: He's a freshman.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: He had two rushing touchdowns in the game, including an
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: 80-yard touchdown run.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: He's like 5'5.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: But he's quick, really quick, he's fast, and he's strong too.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, those two running backs are now on
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: my radar, and they're pretty good. And then Landon Boulware
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: and Max Brown had two. I mean, Max Brown, he's
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: a really good baseball player for Timberland. He's a D1 prospect,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: and so those two guys had good games.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: For Timberland. And, yeah, so basically their entire offense I
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: was impressed with.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Um, and then, I mean, obviously this is a game where,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: you know, there weren't many standouts defensively on both sides
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: of the ball.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: It has to be said.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Um, but yeah, but for North point, um, Alex Graham
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: was impressive. 458 passing yards, four touchdowns. And then the
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: two interceptions he threw was in the fourth quarter when
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: the game was pretty much out of reach when it would,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: you know, it didn't really matter. And just, they're just
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: trying to force it at that point. But when it
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: was mattering, he was really good at keeping plays alive
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: in the pocket.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: He's got a great arm, really good at throwing on
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the run.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: And then, got to talk about two receivers, Jaden Flores
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: and Jeremiah Mosey. Flores, with just five catches, had 214
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: receiving yards, averaging 42 yards a carry.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: That doesn't make any sense.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: No.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I was there to believe, so I can verify that's true,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: because I was there. I mean, any time he caught
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: the ball in space, he would score. Timberland could not
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: contain him, but unfortunately for North Point, Flores, he got
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: hurt on a touchdown that was just short of the
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: end zone.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: They eventually scored on the drive two plays later, but.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did something to his right ankle, and so
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: then afterward, he did not return. He was seen on crutches,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: so hopefully it's not that bad. Um, that would really
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: suck for, for North Point. I mean, they're already one
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: and four, but I mean, they, they certainly have a
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: lot to work with offensively. And then Jeremiah Mosey, he
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: kind of picked up the slack and he had a
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: good first half too, but like he really kind of
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: picked up Flores' production in the second half. And he
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: had some, he had some big catches for the Grizzlies too,
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: but ultimately Timberland was also, was able to make adjustments
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: by just really double teaming Mosey.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And, you know, they were able to do enough with
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: the other players.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: That, uh, North Point had, even though they had other
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: guys who are fast, but just without Flores, they just weren't,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: they were a lot less dangerous, and still hard to contain,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: but yeah, Timberland was ultimately able to bottle them up enough,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: and able to, you know, hold them at 46 points,
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: and Timberland, they just scored whenever they wanted to, I mean,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: they had a good rushing attack, Williams is a really
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: good passer, I mean, really, really good scrambler, keeping plays
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: alive in the pocket, and just hitting an open receiver
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: when someone's eventually open. This is a tough Timberland offense
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: to stop, but obviously not the best defense, though, as
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: that poured out.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: But that was a really fun game. It was great
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: being there. It was a great Thursday night game.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, pretty crazy week five. A lot of crazy finishes,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: game-winning safeties, another double interception game. 70-46, Big 12, like
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Baylor-TCU kind of game from a while back.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Texas Tech versus Baylor, stuff like that. Mike Leach
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: is the head coach.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy finishes like in the Lafayette-Marquette game.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: A lot of everything this week. Another fun week, another
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: fun season so far.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been, I mean, you know, we, you know,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: on paper it didn't look like, you know, didn't have
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of tasty matchups. But, yeah, as usual,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: we were treated to some pretty good games that we
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: don't realize.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: I said this last week.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: I said, hey.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: This may not have as many big-name matchups as a
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: usual week, but it's.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Still going to be fun. And I was right.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: These teams still find a way to compete. We don't
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: do this just to be entertaining. This whole high school
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: football is to build better young men. But because they're
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: all working their tails off and having fun... They happen
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: to supply us with entertaining games, which we will appreciate.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: One game that I've got to say, we've got to
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: talk about real quick.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: O'Fallon knocking Triad off the ranks of the unbeaten with
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: a 7-3 grinder of a victory.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: That's a final score that will forever confuse historians looking back.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Again, get called early to a lightning storm? What's going
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: on with that one?
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, O'Fallon really clutched up with their defense.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a high-flying Triad offense.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: You know, one of the better offenses in the area statistically. But,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, they had, I mean, O'Fallon held triad to
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: their worst game. I mean, well, obviously it was their
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: first loss, but just like probably their worst game they'll
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: have all season offensively with less than 200 yards, total
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: yards in the game. 25 rushes for triad and only
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: 45 yards. Unfortunately, O'Fallon doesn't have their stats in, so
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: he can't really shout out.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Their players in this one.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, they just did a heck of a job
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: limiting heavily limiting triad in this one and um you
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: know it's a it's a it was a yeah game
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: was at O'Fallon this could have been their homecoming I
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: don't know I mean this is this is like the
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: time of year to have those have these um maybe
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: it was Beville West last week which makes sense but
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: um yeah triads I'm sorry yeah triad they're five and
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: one now they're still in a good spot but obviously
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: that's a game they probably expected to win And then O'Fallon,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: they're 3-2 now, and they easily could be, you know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: if they were able to beat Quincy in Week 1,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: they'd be 4-2 right now, but they're, well, sorry, they're 3-3.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I'm still kind of, I'm going back between Illinois and
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Missouri right here, and Illinois is a week ahead of Missouri,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: so that's why. O'Fallon, I think they're a competitive 3-3 team.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: They have a big game coming up against Edwardsville, which
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: is one of the bigger rivalry games in the entire
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Metro East, so I'm looking forward to that one.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, so big win for O'Fallon there over Triad.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: That's all I got.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: That'll do for week five.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: That was fun. It was. Let's do it again. Yeah,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: can't wait for it. All right, see you guys.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: Peace.
