1:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome high school football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for our football Friday preview between the Franklin Eagles and Eastbrook Panthers in Franklin on Friday and it's the opening week of the CIC Michelle.
1:31
[SPEAKER_04]: We talked of course to Coach Adams and and Coach Wells.
1:35
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not going so well for Franklin so far and not necessarily the play on the field, but the injuries and the really tough schedule to start.
1:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Franklin opened with Titten, and that's a got-a-balanced offense, then they play little pills that also has a balance.
1:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He was led by probably the best quarterback in this area.
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: As far as quarterbacking, when I'm talking about that, during the ball, because in this week, they get an East Brook team that, as Marty said, and other coaches have talked about in the past, their land with East Brook's quarterback is probably just may flat out be the best athlete in this area.
2:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't yell.
2:27
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's mostly going to do with his legs, but he can also be with his arm.
2:31
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing with Body is you don't want him to get to the outside, or in open field because then he becomes very elusive.
2:41
[SPEAKER_04]: And after two weeks, Michelle, we talked about this with several coaches, including Coach Adams.
2:45
[SPEAKER_04]: And the CIC looks like at least the top five, just for a row, just a week after a week.
2:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Most people probably still consider Mrs. Sinowall the favorite.
2:55
[SPEAKER_04]: I picked East Brook to win the conference before the season.
2:59
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think they may just be the best team.
3:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, I think you've got, I think you've got four dynamite teams.
3:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, the defending champion, Mrs. Sinowall, and then you've got Eastbrook who is one of the CIC a lot and then, you know, you have Alexandria who, you know, their goal is to, there goes to finish and I do believe they were the conference champions two years ago.
3:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So Alexandria is another one and then the fourth one is Madison Grant and what Coach Turner and his, you know, assistant coach, mass he have done with both sides of the ball at Madison Grant and just the size of your lineman and everything you cannot you can't overlook them either so those four I think are a level above and then right under them is okay.
4:09
[SPEAKER_04]: I think you're absolutely right.
4:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Michelle, let's hear from Coach Marty Wells of the Franklin Eagles and then Coach Jeff Adamson of East Brook, back to back and then you and I will make our predictions.
4:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report, Franklin had coach Marty Wells just got through a brutal non-conference schedule.
4:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Good thing it gets so much easier from here, Coach.
4:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You're still, you're still running that gut, alright, yeah.
4:41
[SPEAKER_03]: The Grant Kelly Swing, then the CIC Fabers, Alexandria Tigers.
4:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's never easy as we talked about in the preseason.
4:53
[SPEAKER_04]: This is, it's going to be a tough, it's going to be tough to find wins on the schedule.
4:58
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think anybody, I don't think we're surprising anybody when we say that, but that haven't been said your back home against an esprotein that has looked really good.
5:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's a half, they have probably the best, the athlete to conference and body house at quarterback.
5:14
[SPEAKER_03]: He does a great job in their option game.
5:17
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... is a four-year starter free safety they've got a line back here number forty seven i'm sure he's named he's got two picks sixes one in each game one in the in the concordia game came out last by the half of one hundred two yards play the week completely turn that game the other direction so off it's way they're really really good defensively they they're giving up some yards but they're they're not giving up a lot of points
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it was a tough week for you guys last week, only scoring a safety.
5:52
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you see from what did you and your staff take away from that game?
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Something positive to build on going into this week.
6:02
[SPEAKER_01]: How's your practice in this game?
6:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, I'm still trying to find some positives.
6:10
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we lost our quarterback in the first quarter.
6:13
[SPEAKER_03]: We already were down a lot senior linemen.
6:15
[SPEAKER_03]: We're already down a senior linebacker.
6:18
[SPEAKER_03]: So we are fighting the depth issue that we don't have any to begin with.
6:23
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's just compounded it.
6:26
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to go into Friday night with a freshman at quarterback and probably a freshman at quarterback.
6:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully we could compete.
6:35
[SPEAKER_03]: We've talked from the get go.
6:36
[SPEAKER_03]: We've talked a couple different times on this show, you know, winds are going to, it's kind of struggle to get some winds, but our biggest thing is we wanted to compete and we did not do that Friday night and that was a big, big disappointment.
6:50
[SPEAKER_03]: We ended up with negative 30 yards of offense.
6:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, the bad part of the,
6:56
[SPEAKER_03]: That issue has become quarterback sacks, go against your core backs, rest in your arts, that doesn't help us, but you can't beat anybody and you got minus 30 yards of total offense.
7:06
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
7:07
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the prognosis on the three on the three players that are out?
7:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Standsbury's probably out two to three weeks.
7:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not broken.
7:17
[SPEAKER_03]: The first they thought maybe he had broken a lower extremity, but it's not broken.
7:26
[SPEAKER_03]: and get to where he's comfortable.
7:27
[SPEAKER_03]: He's still walking in a boot.
7:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Aiden Bargo is our senior tackle defensive end.
7:33
[SPEAKER_03]: He went down and practiced last Wednesday.
7:36
[SPEAKER_03]: He's still not healthy.
7:39
[SPEAKER_03]: He's probably another two weeks to be my guess.
7:43
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Anthony Tilleries, our linebacker, he's been
7:47
[SPEAKER_03]: He played one or two plays against Kepton and didn't play it all last week.
7:52
[SPEAKER_03]: He did practice yesterday and today.
7:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So we should have him.
7:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got him on a couple different special teams.
8:00
[SPEAKER_03]: And he will get some reps defensively.
8:03
[SPEAKER_03]: So that'll be a positive for us to get him back.
8:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Because he will be a three-year starter linebacker along with KNOCLE.
8:10
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's one position that we certainly missed answering.
8:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report, Jeff Adamson of the East Brook Panthers and Coach.
8:22
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't look at the first two weeks is anything other than a great success, right?
8:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure how well we played week one.
8:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess well enough to win maybe, but I think we shouldn't have done it too, Concordia.
8:38
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a success.
8:41
[SPEAKER_02]: They both felt good.
8:43
[SPEAKER_02]: We showed a great deal of improvement from
8:46
[SPEAKER_02]: week one week two, and I think maybe that's the most important thing right now.
8:51
[SPEAKER_02]: We needed to get better after our Huntington game, and I think we showed improvement in a lot of areas.
8:59
[SPEAKER_04]: The final score is impressive the way you did it was impressive, and I think we've talked about it on this podcast about five times now, the play at the end of the first half was huge.
9:16
[SPEAKER_02]: pass in the flats and just took it all you know all the way hundred yards The tough thing for writers not a not a school record.
9:26
[SPEAKER_02]: We had somebody that Not too too awful long ago.
9:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So we tied it but it was a great moment in play You know they had a chance to bring it within two scores if they score at that point
9:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're also going to start the second half of the ball.
9:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So his play was really, really huge, exciting play.
9:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And he just made a great play on the ball and just down right over by the end zone.
9:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Coach, were you surprised by the margin of your victory, a little bit in going, I mean, do you going in?
10:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you see your team?
10:08
[SPEAKER_01]: doing, I mean, having a big game like that on both sides of the ball.
10:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I mean, yes, I was surprised by the margin.
10:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that play of writers did an awful lot to help with that.
10:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the game would have had a lot different field had they scored at that point and then, you know, come out in the third quarter, getting to start with the ball and maybe have a chance to, you know, bring it to within some
10:36
[SPEAKER_02]: one score, but I thought our guys just played really well on both sides of the ball.
10:40
[SPEAKER_02]: We had another big return on special teams that set up a score.
10:48
[SPEAKER_02]: We just, we finally found a little bit of offensive explosive this, which helped us a great deal.
10:54
[SPEAKER_02]: The guys are actually really excited.
10:57
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a great place to play there.
10:58
[SPEAKER_02]: It's beautiful facility, and I just really, really need
11:05
[SPEAKER_01]: This week is kind of, I know it's a little bit of a different approach from already said that Stan's Berry is injured.
11:11
[SPEAKER_01]: We won't play that two to three weeks.
11:14
[SPEAKER_01]: They're also missing a couple other.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: senior players.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and when you're preparing to play Franklin, and again, it's probably going to be another explosive game and you could be a start.
11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to play the entire second half, probably most likely under a running clock.
11:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to talk about that, Michelle.
11:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So, when that's a possibility,
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that change any part of your preparation or schemes or thought process of player rotations on game night?
11:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a question.
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never asked, but I've always wondered.
11:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I think everything that we've seen right now are things to give us problems.
11:55
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they've got some very large offensive and defensive alignment.
12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: We are not big enough to match up with that very well.
12:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So you hope, you know, we can make up that difference with our, you know, our guys being a little bit quicker, but you know, you really, that's the one thing you really can't judge on film.
12:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I can see how big some of those linemen are, but I can't, you know, really judge how well our cootness will, you know, negate some of that.
12:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously, we had a big struggle with with a big defensive line that Huntington had.
12:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So and the other thing I'll tell you is Marty has played our teens for enough years.
12:41
[SPEAKER_02]: He knows who we run.
12:42
[SPEAKER_02]: He knows how to defend us very well.
12:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I don't expect anything is going to be very easy.
12:50
[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, that's what the coach says every time, because that's what the coach has to say.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that wasn't trying to incidentally or you're going to win.
12:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I was always just wondered, you know, if when you go in, you think that that might be a possibility, and I say that because that's happened to the, you know, that happened to him last week, and I just, I've always wondered because under that running clock, I think it's got to be hard sometimes to get your young kids that you want to get some experience in.
13:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think that, you know, the reality of it is, I think in the past we've had a couple games like that, go going in, we knew that, you know, if we played as we should, the game should be to a running clock early in the second half, and I think you do try to, you try to do some things.
13:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I think to,
13:43
[SPEAKER_02]: minimize that and, you know, be respectful of your opponents, keep the ball on the ground, which is what we're going to do anyway.
13:50
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think I think there's also a part of you that makes sure that, you know, the second team guys are ready, you know, that they're, they're getting enough reps and practice that, you know, they can go in and, you know, finish the game for you speaking of keeping the ball on the ground.
14:08
[SPEAKER_04]: It's led by Bodhi House, of course, your quarterback, but three hundred and seventy three yards on the ground and we talked about it.
14:13
[SPEAKER_04]: That is not.
14:15
[SPEAKER_04]: That is a good.
14:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Concordia team.
14:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, really is.
14:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I just felt like our offensive line played extremely well.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Coach Gilbore offensive line coach tracks.
14:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Pancakes and knockdowns for those guys and it was one of the highest totals we've had several years.
14:33
[SPEAKER_02]: They just played with a great deal of fire.
14:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, Bodhi had a lot of yards, but writer Gibson also was over 100 yards and our two slot backs miles brown and Matthew Slayer both both ran along side that.
14:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So just kind of felt like
14:54
[SPEAKER_02]: anybody we're going to give the ball to is going to be able to pick up some yards just just because the offensive line was playing so well.
15:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Coach, we came into the season expecting the CIC to be really good and through the non-conference schedule it might even be better than we thought.
15:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I would agree with you.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that I just don't have always felt like the CICs
15:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Picking anybody usually as the clear cut favorite, you know, even with that, it just seems like through the course of, you know, conference play through the season that, you know, there's always one game that stands out kind of as an upset that, you know, knocks off one of the teams that were up there near the top and, you know, you mentioned, you know, freaked out and maybe having some injuries.
15:47
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the other thing that,
15:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Just changes a team within the conference of the schools our size, you know, one or two injuries could, you know, you're probably taking out really four players because everybody's playing both ways.
16:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And so yeah, some of those injury things could really affect that quickly.
16:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Coach Adam, thank you so much for your time and appreciate it as always.
16:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Good luck on Friday.
16:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, appreciate what you guys are doing.
16:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
16:17
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, Michelle, we heard from Coach Wells and Coach Adams, and I think everyone is kind of expecting the same result, but what are you expecting?
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the game will be over with the four half time.
16:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the second half is going to be played under a running clock.
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I give Coach Adams a lot of credit because he has a lot of respect for Coach Wells.
16:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, there's a lot of respect between both of those.
16:47
[SPEAKER_01]: his players to overlook Franklin, although it's not always easy to keep kids from overlooking when they see scores.
16:54
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll get their majors after all.
16:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But that said, I mean, Franklin's going to have to play a freshman quarterback against Eastbrook.
17:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Ouch.
17:03
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and they're missing two other key senior starters.
17:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel sorry for Coach Wells because he,
17:11
[SPEAKER_01]: got the luck of a very tough schedule.
17:14
[SPEAKER_01]: But for seven weeks, those are like just loaded for bear.
17:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, and to deal with it with not being able to be full strength, and people will understand not being full strength on game night is tough, but it's not being full strength through practices either.
17:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know,
17:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He's had some players that have not been able to go little tough through practices like the walks kid that running back.
17:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was banged up before the season.
17:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So he wasn't getting in all the reps that you normally do.
17:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And even though Marty was there as the defense coordinator last few years, he brought in a new system offensively, brand new.
17:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So we got a lot of key players that haven't gotten
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: that are crucial, and so, you know, I feel sorry for Frankden.
18:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully they score, I don't know if they, I don't know that they will, but like I said, I expect that game to be over with by half time.
18:20
[SPEAKER_04]: score wise.
18:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Michelle we will have the result of that went in all the games and we will hear from several coaches including probably coach Adams and after the game and we want everyone to join us for that.
18:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks so much Michelle.
18:36
[SPEAKER_04]: You're welcome.
18:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
18:38
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way everybody that'll be as close to midnight as we can possibly get it.
18:47
[SPEAKER_04]: This central Indian Escort Report is a product of ITG media, and I love Susie.
