0:00
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show.
0:03
Speaker 1: This is our we're kicking off our annual twenty twenty
0:07
Speaker 1: six Gillis Sandler Van's Sportsbook. The Sports Book is back.
0:10
Speaker 1: It's that time of year again, gotta love it. This
0:13
Speaker 1: will be a relatively short one because it's week zero
0:17
Speaker 1: in the Saint Louis area, specifically for us, it's a
0:20
Speaker 1: Saint Louis specific thing, but in reality, in Illinois it's
0:24
Speaker 1: week one, and we got some pretty good games on tap.
0:28
Speaker 1: We're gonna be mostly preoccupied with jamboree coverage because it
0:31
Speaker 1: involves a lot of teams and just frankly, I'll be
0:33
Speaker 1: honest with you guys, it just gets it gets more views.
0:36
Speaker 1: But we will be filming one of these games and
0:41
Speaker 1: we cannot wait for that one.
0:43
Speaker 2: So with that one later. But first of all, let's
0:45
Speaker 2: talk about our first game. We're gonna be talking about
0:48
Speaker 2: I Think I'm at Breeze Central. The Cougars are favored
0:51
Speaker 2: by twenty and a half points. The Overns act forty
0:53
Speaker 2: seven and a half. Bree Central coming off their best
0:55
Speaker 2: season in school history, finishing eleven and two, their two.
0:58
Speaker 1: Best seasons in school history.
0:59
Speaker 2: Back Yeah, seriously, Coach Shore, the Cougar's are having a great,
1:03
Speaker 2: great run. They do lose a lot from last year.
1:06
Speaker 2: They bring back qb own career, which I think is
1:08
Speaker 2: pretty huge. He had plenty of great plays for him
1:10
Speaker 2: last year.
1:11
Speaker 1: They've had they and they have a really good JV
1:13
Speaker 1: program too. They've been really good at last handful of years,
1:16
Speaker 1: which definitely plays a role. And it does matter.
1:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's just a community that you just love
1:21
Speaker 2: to see succeed, you know, Bree Central one of those
1:24
Speaker 2: small town schools that they all they travel so well,
1:28
Speaker 2: matter where they play. Their whole town loves high school
1:31
Speaker 2: football and it's paying off. And I think it's you know,
1:35
Speaker 2: you know coach knows this by anybody else, but uh,
1:38
Speaker 2: it's it's really just high school football is not about
1:42
Speaker 2: necessarily winning every game. It's about producing good young men.
1:45
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
1:46
Speaker 2: And that's an environment that really helps do that. So
1:50
Speaker 2: it's funny to succeed. Uh, they go up against the
1:53
Speaker 2: flaming hearts of the ethic of high school yet another
1:57
Speaker 2: very funky mascot of Vena.
1:59
Speaker 1: I love it it because right next to Effingham is
2:01
Speaker 1: too topless and they're the wooden shoes.
2:05
Speaker 2: I will how it makes no sense. Yeah, I'm gonna
2:07
Speaker 2: go with Brie Central to cover here, and I'll go
2:09
Speaker 2: with the over. I'll rule with bree Central for this
2:13
Speaker 2: year until they be otherwise just because of how good
2:16
Speaker 2: they've been the last two years.
2:17
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, Breeze, I mean we should just
2:20
Speaker 1: say Central Central. They went to Effingham in Week one
2:23
Speaker 1: last year and one forty seven. Yeah, so I don't
2:26
Speaker 1: expect a whole lot of the change. I mean, I
2:29
Speaker 1: don't Effingham. We don't know really anything about them. They
2:32
Speaker 1: Evingham is usually okay, but they're not They're not horrible.
2:35
Speaker 1: But and they did lose the Central I mean they're okay.
2:39
Speaker 1: They I mean they beat Modern Day last year and
2:40
Speaker 1: they lost to Centralia by five points, so that those
2:43
Speaker 1: are you know, those are the minor Day is a
2:45
Speaker 1: good win in Centralia. Losing them by five is not
2:47
Speaker 1: so bad. But yeah, still going with Central. It's it's
2:51
Speaker 1: been a while since they've lost at home in the
2:53
Speaker 1: regular season, I mean last year, the last two years
2:58
Speaker 1: strictly regular season, they have not lost a game at home.
3:01
Speaker 1: And then if you go back geez, going back to
3:04
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Now. Yeah, last time they lost
3:09
Speaker 1: a regular season home game was to Colombia in twenty
3:11
Speaker 1: twenty two and it was a one point loss. So
3:13
Speaker 1: they got a winning streak going on at home, and
3:17
Speaker 1: so that's what Effingham is up against essentially. Yeah. So yeah,
3:22
Speaker 1: I'll have three central winning. Love what coach Short's doing there,
3:26
Speaker 1: and I'll take I'll take the over all right, and
3:37
Speaker 1: I'll take the under. Actually I'll go with the under. Okay, Yeah,
3:42
Speaker 1: I have a three central covering though, all right.
3:44
Speaker 2: Next up we go to Triad at Highland. Highland figure
3:48
Speaker 2: by thirteen and a half points over fifty two and
3:50
Speaker 2: a half. Formerly a conference matchup, no longer the case though,
3:54
Speaker 2: because Triad is now in the Southwestern Conference.
3:56
Speaker 1: In Highland is not but a big rivalry nonetheless.
3:59
Speaker 2: Yes, huge driver between these two teams. Triad won this
4:03
Speaker 2: game last year and week five.
4:06
Speaker 1: So how come then this that's a that's a big
4:09
Speaker 1: spread then in Highlands? Yeah, what do you think there's
4:12
Speaker 1: reasoning for that? Is? I don't know.
4:14
Speaker 2: I don't make it that. We just get sent that,
4:16
Speaker 2: we get sent the lines from the sportsbook and we
4:18
Speaker 2: just react to it.
4:19
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think they might be onto something
4:22
Speaker 1: here because you know what, Highland is going to be
4:26
Speaker 1: pretty athletic. They even have a transfer from shamanauts sixty six.
4:30
Speaker 1: I should have done it some homework and find out
4:32
Speaker 1: his name. But yeah, they which is crazy by the way,
4:34
Speaker 1: right like kid from Shamanad going all the way Highland.
4:39
Speaker 1: But no, I like who they have coming back. I mean,
4:42
Speaker 1: Carter Harris is a really good running back. He's just
4:45
Speaker 1: still only a junior. I like their quarterback, and they're athletes,
4:50
Speaker 1: and then they're they're very well. Coach Warnerkey is one
4:52
Speaker 1: of the better coaches in the whole area. I mean
4:54
Speaker 1: he's I mean, their O line is gonna be fine,
4:56
Speaker 1: I think, and Tryad's coming a little different here. I mean,
5:01
Speaker 1: I think these are two teams that will ultimately get
5:03
Speaker 1: to the playoff. Well they should obviously because the playoffs
5:05
Speaker 1: are now a little bit of a joke. But I
5:08
Speaker 1: expect these teams to go over finish over five hundred
5:10
Speaker 1: try It's gonna be in a you know, probably yeah,
5:12
Speaker 1: a tougher conference. Now. I like both their schedules here,
5:17
Speaker 1: but yeah, they return try it. If I had if
5:21
Speaker 1: I do have the returning starters here, I hope I do.
5:23
Speaker 1: I do not. I'm unfortunately, I do not have the
5:25
Speaker 1: returning starts. But they've just been okay. But it's for me,
5:31
Speaker 1: it's kind of more about Highland. I like what they
5:33
Speaker 1: have coming back, and you know they've I think they're
5:37
Speaker 1: due for a pretty good year. I mean last year
5:38
Speaker 1: they weren't so good, so but I mean they were
5:42
Speaker 1: really Both teams have pretty good programs, but I'll go
5:46
Speaker 1: with Highland this one, not that, and they're hosting it.
5:48
Speaker 1: It's not really big deal for me if it's who's
5:51
Speaker 1: hosting or not. But yeah, I'll go with them. I
5:54
Speaker 1: have Highland winning. I'll take the over. Wait, I'll take
6:00
Speaker 1: the under, and I do have Highland covering. So we
6:07
Speaker 1: can be proven very wrong here.
6:10
Speaker 2: Weak one is always the toughest to predict because you know,
6:13
Speaker 2: without any true preseason, with so many teams, we do.
6:17
Speaker 2: We do our best, folks, but it's not we're not
6:19
Speaker 2: perfect unfortunately.
6:20
Speaker 1: Oh I mean I know we do our best because
6:22
Speaker 1: I've seen other people's like, I mean, like other best,
6:26
Speaker 1: and it's kind of shocking, like with somehow how media
6:29
Speaker 1: deal with like rankings. It's just a continuation from a
6:32
Speaker 1: year ago. That's how they do it. Because it's it's
6:34
Speaker 1: almost impossible to you know, preview all these teams and
6:36
Speaker 1: do it properly. Yeah, all right.
6:39
Speaker 2: Next up on our number three game of the week,
6:41
Speaker 2: we got Kanka Key at Edwardsville. The K's are very
6:44
Speaker 2: by four and a half points the over runers at
6:46
Speaker 2: fifty three and a half. Max Preps currently has Kantaki
6:48
Speaker 2: ranks the seventy eighth best team in Illinois.
6:51
Speaker 1: That's I mean that means they're good, but they're not amazing.
6:53
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, they're a solid team. I mean,
6:55
Speaker 1: if you're talking one hundred Illinois, that's that's that's definitely
6:58
Speaker 1: not nothing.
6:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh seven and four team last season.
7:04
Speaker 1: They're usually good.
7:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, they won their conference, which is nice.
7:07
Speaker 1: I don't know how competitive their conference is, but and
7:09
Speaker 1: they usually do.
7:09
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, they beat teams like normal community. They
7:14
Speaker 2: actually lost to Creemoney in a close one. They beat Lamont,
7:18
Speaker 2: which is a probably their best win. I would say, yeah,
7:20
Speaker 2: I mean lost the playoffs year Providence Catholic right in Edwardsville,
7:25
Speaker 2: who talked about this season this preseason, I should say
7:30
Speaker 2: Max PEPs has them right to the forty.
7:31
Speaker 1: First best team in Illinois.
7:32
Speaker 2: Interesting, So this this should be no a pretty tight game.
7:38
Speaker 1: I think it's forty. I think it's because their schedule. Yeah,
7:41
Speaker 1: it's we we I think we got Max Preps right here.
7:45
Speaker 1: Like I just I respect it was a lot. I
7:49
Speaker 1: don't think they're a top fifty team in Illinois, but
7:52
Speaker 1: but they're but they're They play really competitive schedules every
7:55
Speaker 1: year and this year is no different. But I think
7:57
Speaker 1: this would be a really good game. I do have
7:59
Speaker 1: KNT keep winning it though, I do have them covering
8:01
Speaker 1: and I have the over.
8:03
Speaker 2: I don't have to agree with you on that one.
8:05
Speaker 2: I hope Edwardsville wins, but Kinka Ki is a solid team,
8:07
Speaker 2: solid program as well.
8:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might have to go talk to Edgie Tam
8:10
Speaker 1: and get his opinion on Kanka Kee because he knows
8:13
Speaker 1: he would know about them, all right.
8:15
Speaker 2: Next up, number two game of the week, we got
8:17
Speaker 2: Lincoln Way West at Belleville East. The Lancers are favored
8:21
Speaker 2: by three and a half points here. Who over runs
8:22
Speaker 2: at forty one and a half. A lot of good
8:24
Speaker 2: things I'm're hearing about Belleville East, especially on the defensive
8:27
Speaker 2: side of the ball. Coming into the season. Max Preps
8:30
Speaker 2: has Lincoln Way West right this forty the forty eighth
8:32
Speaker 2: best team in Illinois.
8:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:34
Speaker 2: Interesting the team last season that oh what's one year?
8:40
Speaker 2: Last season went ten to two the year they won
8:42
Speaker 2: their won their conference.
8:44
Speaker 1: So they went to they won two playoff games.
8:45
Speaker 2: Then, Yeah, they beat Lincoln Way Central, they beat the
8:48
Speaker 2: Kalb only losses coming to Bradley Beverne and the downers
8:52
Speaker 2: Grove North. So yeah, really really solid Heason last year
8:57
Speaker 2: for Lincoln Wait West. It's interesting though, it seems like
9:01
Speaker 2: a so Lincoln West played Lincoln Way Essential, but they
9:05
Speaker 2: did not play Lincoln Went East.
9:07
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, it's because.
9:09
Speaker 2: Lincoln Wait East is just a step ahead.
9:11
Speaker 1: Well I don't know exactly, but I guess Lincoln Way
9:13
Speaker 1: East might be in a I mean it's they gotta
9:15
Speaker 1: be in a different conference, right I guess so, yeah,
9:19
Speaker 1: I mean same as it works that way in the
9:20
Speaker 1: Parkway School district too. They're all different conferences.
9:24
Speaker 2: Well, at least from what I've heard from Belville East
9:29
Speaker 2: they do. And you know, I think they don't bring
9:36
Speaker 2: back too much on their O line, but I think
9:39
Speaker 2: with the athletes they refill on defense that they should
9:41
Speaker 2: be in a good spot. You know, they got Brandon
9:44
Speaker 2: Bush carry Willis Jordan Lambs in their secondary. They should
9:47
Speaker 2: be pretty good and shutting down in the past game.
9:49
Speaker 1: Kingston Jones would be their quarterback, and so he's he's
9:51
Speaker 1: been in he's been on varsity for two years, like
9:53
Speaker 1: for three years, like a letterman, but he hasn't been
9:55
Speaker 1: a starter. So he's finally the starter now. So it's
9:57
Speaker 1: not like he's coming in with like no experience at all.
10:01
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with double East covering. I'm gonna
10:05
Speaker 2: go with the over on this one.
10:07
Speaker 1: Normally I would go with I usually pick it. I
10:11
Speaker 1: typically pick against our area when it comes to like
10:14
Speaker 1: especially teams coming off with ten and two seasons in
10:15
Speaker 1: another state. But I'm feeling kind of good right now
10:20
Speaker 1: about the area for the most part, So I will
10:23
Speaker 1: go with East in this game. It's a home game
10:27
Speaker 1: for them. I do think that matters. It's you know,
10:29
Speaker 1: there's a substantial distance right here. Yeah, I'll take the
10:32
Speaker 1: over and I'll have East covering. I mean, I do
10:35
Speaker 1: believe they they do have better athletes than Lincoln Way West.
10:38
Speaker 1: I think if Lincoln Way West is gonna win this game,
10:40
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna have out physical East, which I
10:43
Speaker 1: think is definitely possible. But you know, if East is
10:47
Speaker 1: you know, if they can hold their own on the
10:49
Speaker 1: D line and let their athletes take over, then I
10:54
Speaker 1: like those odds, So I'll go with East.
10:57
Speaker 2: All right, here we go into our numbumber one game
11:00
Speaker 2: of the week, and this could be the number one
11:02
Speaker 2: game of the season. And I'm not saying that lightly
11:04
Speaker 2: at all. Max Prep said there is the top top ten.
11:06
Speaker 1: Game of the year, number ten game of the year
11:08
Speaker 1: in the country, the.
11:09
Speaker 2: Whole country, the entire season, I.
11:10
Speaker 1: Believe, or at least a week one.
11:12
Speaker 2: Well, either way, I believe it because this should be
11:16
Speaker 2: an absolute war. Mount Carmel versus eastint Lewis. This game
11:20
Speaker 2: can be played at Illinois State University Hancock Stadium. Yeah,
11:25
Speaker 2: the Caravan foreor by five and a half points the
11:27
Speaker 2: overruners at forty six and a half. We just talked
11:30
Speaker 2: about East Lewis and our returning starters and conference picks video.
11:34
Speaker 2: They bring back a ton of athletes. I mean, they're
11:35
Speaker 2: a heck of a team, heck of a program. I mean,
11:38
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure no one here is unfamiliar with them,
11:41
Speaker 2: because you know, we talked about them a lot, you know,
11:42
Speaker 2: as we should mean, they're a heck of a team,
11:44
Speaker 2: heck of a program. But Mount Carmel is also that good.
11:49
Speaker 2: And you think about historically the best programs in Illinois,
11:55
Speaker 2: you're gonna come down to these two. Every time we
11:57
Speaker 2: talk about Denver State championships, number of wins products in
12:02
Speaker 2: college in the NFL, you're gonna come down to Mount
12:06
Speaker 2: Carmel in East Saint Louis and Mount Crmell won state
12:11
Speaker 2: last year. Max Preps has them ranked as the number
12:13
Speaker 2: one team in Illinois as the number thirty seventh team
12:16
Speaker 2: in the country.
12:17
Speaker 1: Mm hm.
12:20
Speaker 2: They won Class eight last year. I believe. Yeah, they
12:24
Speaker 2: fourteen to oer last season. They defeated Os Vigo twenty
12:28
Speaker 2: to three in the straight championship game.
12:33
Speaker 1: They have a four star named quent Quinton Burrell, who's
12:37
Speaker 1: the number one, number one hundred prospect in the country,
12:40
Speaker 1: and he is a four star committed to the missions.
12:42
Speaker 1: They don't they have two four star receivers. Yes, I
12:45
Speaker 1: believe they do. He's one of them. And I think
12:47
Speaker 1: they're twenty twenty eight. Guy might be higher rated here.
12:52
Speaker 1: And yeah, they've a lot all all over the field here.
12:56
Speaker 1: So you can keep talking. I'll get to him. In
12:58
Speaker 1: a second.
12:59
Speaker 2: Yeah. But funny enough though, last year Bubble East gave
13:02
Speaker 2: Mount Carmel a good game, at least a better game
13:05
Speaker 2: than we thought they would, but it was kept it
13:07
Speaker 2: mostly close. But this is a team. I mean, you know,
13:12
Speaker 2: last year Mount Carmel beat Loyal Academy twice in a row,
13:17
Speaker 2: and they beat Fenwick, they'd be Julia Catholic beat Brother Rice.
13:22
Speaker 2: They play in the they'd be Nasaluth Academy. So this
13:27
Speaker 2: is this is a program coached by Jordan's.
13:33
Speaker 1: Jordan lynchs Well, he got to see he got suspended
13:37
Speaker 1: for two practices because they were caught using they were
13:40
Speaker 1: they were caught practicing and pads before they were supposed to.
13:43
Speaker 1: Really yeah, so so Mount card was gonna be on
13:46
Speaker 1: probation for the whole season. However, Lynch, he was always
13:48
Speaker 1: suspended for two practices. I guess they're they're just gonna
13:53
Speaker 1: be Washington the playoffs. No, well, I don't think I
13:56
Speaker 1: think they will be.
13:58
Speaker 2: It's it's the two strikes, you're out on one strike.
14:01
Speaker 1: Maybe, so okay, Yeah.
14:03
Speaker 2: Well anyway, there's there's gonna be so much talent on
14:08
Speaker 2: the field in this game. When you just think about
14:12
Speaker 2: guys that are gonna play at the next level, on
14:14
Speaker 2: very high levels. Yes, I'm gonna be a homer here.
14:18
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick eas St. Louis to cover and win,
14:20
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna go with
14:23
Speaker 2: the under I think this should be an absolutely fantastic game.
14:25
Speaker 2: And if you can find your way up to Bloomington,
14:28
Speaker 2: Illinois high normal Illinois technically normal Bloomington close enough, yeah,
14:35
Speaker 2: should be an absolute war. Should be a fun one
14:36
Speaker 2: to watch.
14:37
Speaker 1: Marshaun Thornton is a twenty twenty eight receiver who is
14:39
Speaker 1: a four star for Mount Carmel. He has offers from
14:43
Speaker 1: the likes of Illinois, Indiana, Auburn, Colorado in Arizona State,
14:47
Speaker 1: among others. A lot of offers. He's got a he's
14:51
Speaker 1: got a boatload of offers, I should say, Yeah, ranges
14:54
Speaker 1: from Purdue to Notre Dame in Michigan State, Ole, miss Oregon. Yeah.
14:59
Speaker 1: And and they have a really good linebacker who's a
15:02
Speaker 1: four star second year Roman Eagle Roman Eagle Bote. He's
15:09
Speaker 1: a four star and he's he's link. He's he only
15:12
Speaker 1: linked to Notre Dame from what we can see. Tavaris
15:16
Speaker 1: Harrington is a dB class of twenty twenty seven. Yeah,
15:20
Speaker 1: they're pretty loaded, I would say, and they've I know,
15:23
Speaker 1: they've had like a like a four way quarterback battle
15:26
Speaker 1: this offseason. So and they have a lot of returning
15:30
Speaker 1: stars from a year ago, just like East St. Louis.
15:33
Speaker 1: So I'm really high on these guys. And then Mount Carmel,
15:37
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, they're five to one all time
15:39
Speaker 1: against EA St. Louis. So I have Mount Carmel covering
15:45
Speaker 1: and I will take the over in this game. I
15:46
Speaker 1: think there will be a lot of points. I mean
15:48
Speaker 1: Mount Carmel they have two four star receivers. I mean,
15:52
Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to see what their quarterback can do.
15:55
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's gonna be a dual threat guy
15:56
Speaker 1: who could throw it. Because they have a really good
16:00
