  as coach. The battle football program goes two and one since the last time
• 1:02
  we talk, and we'll start with the freshman who last Wednesday gotta win forty
• 1:06
  one to six over a Meadowdale. The freshman Coogs improved at two and Ozero
• 1:10
  on the season. You were out there, Uh, I gotta imagine you
• 1:14
  like what you see. Yeah. Absolutely, you know, first of all,
• 1:17
  like we talked about this last week, our numbers are good. Our
• 1:19
  numbers are big, and that's fun. Our our freshman team this year is
• 1:25
  also playing freshman games, so that's also helpful. Last year, most of
• 1:30
  our games were against JV and or C team, so we have a total
• 1:34
  freshman team. Uh. Coach, they look good. They they run well,
• 1:38
  they hit well, they block well, they're well coached. They look
• 1:42
  like they enjoy football and each other, and that to me is what we're
• 1:47
  all all about and trying to do. And another outstanding performance in all aspects
• 1:53
  of the game. I thought we looked good offensively, I thought we played
• 1:57
  well defensively, and we we won this special teams side of things as well.
• 2:01
  So completely happy and excited about the progress we're making at that level.
• 2:07
  Yeah, and a shout out to the fans too. I mean that place
• 2:08
  was packed. I mean it's a it's a freshman game, so you don't
• 2:12
  expect a huge pop Kennie crowd or anything, but they were up there.
• 2:15
  They were making a lot of noise, and it's always cool when when you
• 2:17
  see a long touchdown run or I wish I would have got the name of
• 2:22
  the young man, but I think somebody had an interception return for a touchdown
• 2:24
  that got the crowd going crazy. And there was a beast mode type run
• 2:30
  from one young man that really got the place going nuts. So that was
• 2:34
  cool to see. Monday night, the JV team scored at twenty eight twenty
• 2:37
  two win over the Lincoln Abs down in Tacoma. Touchdowns from cam Weaver Drake
• 2:42
  Hurst and two from Western Forensic, one on offense and then a pick six
• 2:46
  on defense. Obviously, we weren't down there, we were out at practice,
• 2:49
  But did you get a report from the coaching and you know, what
• 2:53
  do you what do you see out of the JV team? I mean there's
• 2:55
  a lot of guys getting action down there that we also might even see on
• 2:59
  Friday nights. Absolutely. You know, I'm in communication with our coaches after
• 3:04
  every game, and I tried to call them a game wasn't over yet,
• 3:07
  so I I sometimes I get a little anxious. But I got the report
• 3:10
  from coach Munthson by text, and then my son gave me a more of
• 3:15
  a play by play account. I also want to shout out to Drew Marino.
• 3:17
  I think he threw two touchdown passes and might have been his first in
• 3:21
  his in his JV career. So well, well we'll double check those stats.
• 3:24
  But the fact is we went down and played a link in high school,
• 3:29
  which is a you know, a three a power and and and UH
• 3:34
  coach Masaki does a wonderful job down there and their staff, and so you
• 3:38
  know, that's that's a good program win when you can beat UH teams that
• 3:42
  are are you know, year and a year out really strong. So proud
• 3:46
  of our proud of our guys. Twenty eight twenty two, hard fought battle
• 3:51
  and we come out ahead. And I'm going to tell you the importance of
• 3:55
  winning is greater than than a lot of people under standard believe. When you
• 4:00
  have a mindset that is not cocky but just knows that when you step on
• 4:05
  a field, you usually win, that goes a long way and helping you
• 4:11
  to overcome the adversities in a game, feeling confident that it'll all work out
• 4:16
  and you'll usually come out ahead. And so I'm real pleased with our with
• 4:20
  our young younger programs. They're doing a great job. Their efforts. Great,
• 4:27
  excited, you know that it's good. It's good to win. Then
• 4:30
  on Friday night, the varsity team went down to Skyview and it was twenty
• 4:34
  one seven loss. Now this was a game that was zero zero at halftime,
• 4:38
  seven seven at the end of three and coach we had talked about last
• 4:42
  week the idea of going on the road and kind of bringing a team together.
• 4:46
  Definitely not making an excuse here in any way, shape or form,
• 4:49
  but we had plenty of time to come together on the bus ride on the
• 4:51
  way down because it was a long one. But we want to give a
• 4:54
  special shout out to our booster club and the president Kim Nold, for her
• 4:58
  work that she did. She you know, we were it was hard because
• 5:01
  the busses were slow getting down. There are a lot of traffic and everything.
• 5:04
  So we kind of adjusted on the fly and ended up at a park
• 5:08
  in Kelso to get taped and get some get some pregame meal, and kim
• 5:14
  Nold was able to adjust what she was going to do, bring it there,
• 5:16
  have it ready to go for us, and then after the game,
• 5:18
  I think she might have missed the whole first half of the game because she
• 5:23
  was out looking for food for dinner on the way home and ended up with
• 5:26
  a car full of terryak. When I say a car full, I mean
• 5:30
  a car full of terryoke because there was a ton of terryoke in the back
• 5:33
  of her car, and there was sport, drinks and I mean plenty of
• 5:38
  water and everything for everybody to go. So, uh, you know,
• 5:41
  I just I guess, coach, you know, when it comes to that,
• 5:44
  I think the Bofel Boost Football Booster Club is is something that is special.
• 5:47
  You know they do It was such a great job of taking care of
• 5:50
  everything that we need. Ryland, let me tell you this. When you
• 5:54
  start talking about food, you can see you're the enthusiasm. You can hear
• 5:57
  it in your voice. You guys don't get to seem right now like I
• 6:00
  do. He's hopping around, he's got a smile on his face. Well,
• 6:03
  that's kind of what our Booster Club does for our kids when they can,
• 6:08
  when they can help make our experience a little better, a little easier.
• 6:12
  You know, that's what they do. They get on their feet,
• 6:14
  they run around, they do the things they need to do. It's their
• 6:16
  one to eleventh right, It's what their job is. And in their minds.
• 6:21
  They provide a wonderful experience for our players, and certainly our kids were
• 6:27
  fed on the way down by Booster Club and parent members who dedicate their time
• 6:31
  to give back to our kids. And then of course the meal on the
• 6:35
  way back is something that school districts can't always afford or don't have it in
• 6:40
  their budget, and so they do that, and it's just one of the
• 6:44
  many ways that our Booster Club helps our program out and gives our kids an
• 6:49
  experience that maybe they don't get everywhere else in our state. And so it's
• 6:54
  very special their their work there. So yes, that was great. If
• 6:58
  you want to talk about the game, you know, we needed a game.
• 7:01
  We needed a game where the team was as good as us were a
• 7:03
  little better, and we got that. We got the most physical opponent we
• 7:08
  played this year. We got an opponent that hadn't been scored on yet this
• 7:11
  year we got We got a team that that was mostly made up of seniors
• 7:15
  in their starting lineup. They just are a veteran team. They were very
• 7:17
  good last year, they're better this year. You know. We we came
• 7:21
  out and our defense gave us opportunities early to get a quick lead and we
• 7:28
  just couldn't capitalize on that offensively. At first. We do go into the
• 7:31
  game, it's it's it's tied at half, we come out with a long
• 7:34
  drive and take a seven nothing lead, and then and then they come right
• 7:38
  back and score on our defense on a on a quick little drive, and
• 7:42
  you know, and and and you know you said it was tied at the
• 7:44
  end of the third quarter. Well, unfortunately, what we always talk about
• 7:47
  in our program is you the game's already won and lost on a Friday.
• 7:51
  We're just going to go find out how it was. And it's based on
• 7:55
  our week. And our players could tell you that we had practices where the
• 7:58
  first half of our practice was outstanding in the back in the second half was
• 8:01
  not and and I and it's just it's just how the game went. We
• 8:05
  were we were outstanding in many ways. And I'm really proud of the effort,
• 8:09
  the physicality of our kids, the kids who had to step in and
• 8:13
  be the next man up. I'm really proud of that. But we kind
• 8:16
  of had that that just like the week, we had a great three quarters
• 8:20
  and then we kind of got beaten the fourth quarter. So we'll continue to
• 8:24
  learn that that how we practice has a huge outcome in the game. But
• 8:31
  the other thing I would tell you is that you know, we we are
• 8:33
  we are not doing the discipline piece very well. We had we had sixteen
• 8:37
  penalties the week before. We have we have still too many pre snap penalties.
• 8:43
  We make a couple of personal foul mistakes. We do some things that
• 8:48
  that put our offense, especially in a hole and against a defense like this
• 8:52
  one. You can't do that. So hats off to to UH coach Kaiser
• 8:58
  and and s View what a good football team, physical, fast, talented,
• 9:03
  disciplined, And hats off to our kids for the physicalness that we matched
• 9:07
  and the effort that we gave throughout the whole game. Never never once questioned
• 9:13
  that. But but as soon as we get disciplined and we take care of
• 9:18
  ourselves, then I believe we'll have a chance to play with the great teams
• 9:22
  in our state like sky View. Yeah. And you know, when I
• 9:26
  look at the you know, there were some injuries in the game, and
• 9:28
  next man in stepped in and I thought played very well for some of the
• 9:33
  guys that maybe hadn't seen a ton of varsity action up until that point.
• 9:37
  Specifically, let's talk about the defense coach. I mean, I think I
• 9:41
  think if I told you after week three our defense would be giving up on
• 9:45
  average eight points a game, I think you'd probably be pretty happy. I
• 9:48
  would. You know. We we went into this season and we you know,
• 9:52
  as you go in you kind of evaluate your team, and we knew
• 9:54
  we could be really good defensively. We have quite a few returning starters from
• 9:58
  last year. Our experience is good. We have some really good, athletic,
• 10:03
  physical kids on defense who spend a lot of time in the offseason preparing
• 10:07
  for this. So so we knew we had more questions offensively than defensively.
• 10:11
  So but but you know what, holding getting shutouts and holding teams to one
• 10:18
  score or two scores is a tough thing to do when you're playing somebody good
• 10:24
  in this day and age of football, with no huddles and more plays in
• 10:26
  a game. And so now I'm absolutely pleased with with our defense. I'm
• 10:31
  pleased with the are We have a complex defense. It's not an easy one
• 10:35
  to just come out and get, and so lots of movement pieces, lots
• 10:41
  of schematics to it, and so I'm very pleased with what we're seeing so
• 10:46
  far. I uh, you know, all the coaches would tell you.
• 10:48
  Our pad level still needs to be lower. We need to we need to
• 10:52
  tackle better. We there's too many times where we just miss a tackle and
• 10:56
  we're still making a key mistake in assignment, a one off or a two
• 11:00
  off play that results in a in a big long play like the long run
• 11:03
  the Q had. You know, we just we had a gap assignment and
• 11:07
  eyes were going in the wrong direction and we didn't do our one eleven.
• 11:09
  So when when we as a team and all three aspects of the game continue
• 11:13
  to do the discipline part in your one eleventh part, you're going to see
• 11:18
  some good things result from that because we're talented. Yeah again, twenty one
• 11:22
  seven lost of sky View. Now, coach, we get into Kinko conference
• 11:26
  play this week, and maybe we need to talk to just really quickly about
• 11:28
  kind of that. Because this is league play. The last three games have
• 11:33
  been non conference play. So while the last three games do not stop you
• 11:37
  or get you into the playoffs like league play does, they also can't help
• 11:41
  with the seating side of things. So playing good against good teams, whether
• 11:46
  it's you know, even if you get a lost, that can help you
• 11:48
  as far as seating goes. So it's you know, I think a lot
• 11:52
  of people look at the sky View game, you know, No, this
• 11:54
  is this is where it really starts this week because the other teams in Kinko
• 12:00
  I've already played one league game, Mount Si, Woodenville, and East Lake
• 12:03
  they are one to known North Creek. Who we have this week is Aqua
• 12:05
  in Skyline. They are owing one. Woodenville plays non conference this week,
• 12:09
  so they've already played a league game. Now they go to nonconference. So
• 12:13
  every week there's going to be one team that plays non conference. You know
• 12:18
  this week coach and North Creek. Uh the new school in Bothel, if
• 12:22
  you will, even though they're not real new anymore, they've been around a
• 12:24
  while now and last year, last year they were able to come out,
• 12:28
  play a great second half and get the win. This year they are the
• 12:33
  home team. Yeah, you know, North Creek's a very well coached football
• 12:37
  team. They they you know, we're watching film on them. They run
• 12:39
  to the football. They their effort is never questioned. You know, they
• 12:43
  give great efforts. So it's always a challenge to play teams who's who are
• 12:48
  well coached and who who run to the football and so and it's a rival
• 12:54
  game, right, and that's that's what you kind of try to take out
• 12:56
  of it. If you're if you're us, you know, I don't know
• 13:00
  what their their mentality is, but we're we just we're playing Boffel again,
• 13:03
  right. It's what we learned when we went to West Point. We saw
• 13:05
  Army schedule and every single opponent was Army. We've got to improve what we
• 13:11
  do. We've got to be the best we can be. And if we
• 13:13
  can do that, then that gives us our best chance for success. If
• 13:18
  we're shooting ourselves in the foot with mental mistakes, with with penalties, it
• 13:22
  makes our job tougher. And the good teams, like I said before,
• 13:26
  you can't give them extra chances to beat you. And so you know they're
• 13:30
  they're they're a good football team. They got us last year. And we
• 13:33
  turned the ball over too many times last year, and we turned it over
• 13:35
  too many times last week and so and we had too many penalties last week,
• 13:41
  and so these are the things we have to fix. Uh uh.
• 13:43
  You know. After that, it's it's why you play high school football.
• 13:46
  You're gonna get to the pop and there's going to be fans on both sides
• 13:50
  that fill the stands and are extremely pride full of their school and and and
• 13:54
  want to win. And that's what makes the atmosphere fun. That's that's why
• 13:58
  you lay a sport. So, yeah, it's gonna be a great game.
• 14:03
  And and what a wonderful chance for us to start off league play with
• 14:09
  with a win and our side of the win last column. Yeah, wearing
• 14:13
  white this week at the Pop something that uh do once a year now now
• 14:16
  that there are only two teams on the schedule, and there was also a
• 14:20
  playoff game a couple of years ago, so uh just say this way,
• 14:24
  Buffle has been pretty successful wearing white recently at POPKINI but everything looks a little
• 14:28
  bit better in blue, Hunt, coach, I couldn't agree with you more.
• 14:31
  But I'll tell you what. The two locker rooms are the same,
• 14:35
  the sidelines are about the same, the field is exactly the same. The
• 14:39
  atmosphere is awesome. So it doesn't matter the color your uniform is, it's
• 14:45
  your mentality has got to be on yourself. What can we do to do
• 14:50
  to give ourselves our best shot at success? And so we know what we've
• 14:54
  got to do this week. We already started yesterday and and we will continue
• 15:01
  to improve on a daily basis, whether wearing white or blue. We'll see
• 15:05
  it to Pop on Saturday. Coach, I guess we will talk again this
• 15:07
  time next week. Thanks for your time, Ryland, thank you very much.
• 15:11
