  Speaker 1: local people proudly supporting Bartlesville. Gateway First Bank, member FDIC.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Go Bruins.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to get into the details of that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: All right, it is a week eight edition of Tailgate Talk.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Chris Rivard, Chris Batchelder, remotely Nighthawk with you guys. The
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: ninth of 11 regular season Tailgate Talks. We'll have at
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: least four in the playoffs when Bartlesville is into the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: state championship game, hopefully.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And the Bulldoggers, don't forget about them.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Dewey Bulldoggers and Copan and all those
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: schools will be in the state championship games. Caney Valley, Kansas.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, Kansas.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: So, guys, we're really getting into it now. It's starting
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to be chilly on Friday nights. It's starting to be
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: dark when the games kick off. I mean, I enjoy
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: all the weeks of football, certainly, but the last four
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: games are a lot more enjoyable than that August 28th game, usually.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to the next several weeks
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: across the area.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, last weekend was great, you know, 35, 37 degrees
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: in the morning. It was just the fall is in
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the air. Playoff time. Right around the corner. Cannot wait.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: See, I don't enjoy that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: You don't enjoy that?
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'd rather it be 90, 100. Oh, boy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, man, not me.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: I would rather it be 45 degrees with a hoodie
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: or a hoodie on and every day.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: I'm a mountains, not a beach guy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Same.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I watched the Bruins play last week sitting on the beach.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: That is true.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I saw that picture.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: That is true.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I had the Danville Little Johns on one phone and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the Watersville Bruins on another phone.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Well, that's pretty tough. That's pretty tough to beat.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: That was a pretty good picture.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: It was awesome.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I was sitting there nighttime on the beach, and both
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: phones set up right there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: That's nice. I was at hunting camp, and we had
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: the game on and had about, it seemed like, 22
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: kids out for a youth rifle.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: That's fun.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was fun. But, you know, Although we had
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: a bunch of kids from the football team out, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: all of them just sat there and watched the game.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: It's pretty cool. I mean, the engagement from Bartlesville's success
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and the culture that Hennessy has just very quickly turned around.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, the boys wanted to watch it, and they
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: know all the players. That's what it takes. It's pretty cool.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I think everyone in this room knew that. I think
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: some people maybe doubted it. I'm sure no one at
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the school district did, but it has been very clear
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to people who have been here for a while that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: if you won a little bit, the interest level in
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: this community would be a lot higher than comparative communities.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I think you're seeing that tenfold, I think, already.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: You know, you're right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And I had a conversation with the guy the other
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: day that I didn't even know he liked football, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think he does.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't look like a football player or nothing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And I had a conversation about the Bruin football team,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and he knew all about it. I said, do you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: go to the games? I do now.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure– Like you, I've gotten just over the
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: last two weeks a whole bunch of texts from other
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: coaches from other programs talking about Broken Arrow, talking about Sepulveda,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: talking about some other great head coaches just going, you
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: guys got the right guy. So I give all the
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: credit to Coach Dillbeck and Mrs. Chancellor and obviously Chuck McCauley.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: They went and got their guy, and we're seeing the
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: results on Friday nights.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, let's hop into it on Week 8.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about the Bruins moving forward. We do have
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a couple Thursday games this week. First one, Barnsdall and Afton,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Class A-2, District 4 ballgame. Panthers 1-3 in the district,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: trying to snap a three-game losing skid after they began
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the year at 4-0. They lost to Quapaw 33-0 last week,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: first shutout of the season. They lost to Woodland and
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: had that narrow loss to Ketchum before. Afton is 0-4
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: in district play, coached by Corey Henry. Eagles lost 46-0
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to Woodland last week. They've scored six points over their
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: last two games. Barnsdall won big last year, 40-6. They've
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: outscored Afton 94-6 across their last two meetings. In fact,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the Panthers have won four straight in the series. Dating
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: back to 2018, Afton had won the previous four. Dating
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: from 2012 to 2017, had a couple playoff wins in there. Barnstall,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: after this ballgame against Afton Thursday, will close the regular
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: season at Hominy on October 30th and at home against
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma Union on November 6th. Looking at things, we'll see
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: if they can get past Afton. I don't think that
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that's necessarily a foregone conclusion, but if they can get
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: past Afton and Oklahoma Union... you're probably looking at a
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: ball game against Hominy that'll be for the four seed
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: in A2-4. Barnsdall has that win over Fairland, that narrow
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: win over Fairland, so if they could beat Hominy, they'd
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: probably be dancing. If they don't, they won't, but they
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: have to take care of business against Oklahoma Union later
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: and against Afton on Thursday night.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Guys, I don't know what has happened with the Stashes.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: They've just run into a wall. I mean, six points
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: the last two games is very, very unusual for Barnstall
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: and Coach Sweeney's teams. but I believe in him. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: believe he'll get it figured out. I think this Afton
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: game and Oklahoma Union are going to be just the
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: tonic they need, and.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: He's good at getting these guys ready this time of year.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: And so hopefully they can step up in that hominy
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: game because, honestly, that's, like Evan said, that's going to
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: be for all the marbles, and.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: I think I'm.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Taking them in all three of those games.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: I think they're going to do it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I tell you what happened is they started losing as
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: soon as you started calling them the stashes again. That's
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: exactly what happened. Let's go back to memory. First three games,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: he didn't say anything about stashes. Then week four, he
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: brought out stashes, and then they go 0-3.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Man, I hope that's not true.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I hope I said it all the time, but it
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: could be on me.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you, I think Barnesville, I like how
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: their schedule is lining up. Tell you something that we
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: should talk about real quick is what about Woodland? Remember
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: us talking about them week four going, what in the
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: world is going on? And they have a lot of sense,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: and here they are in the number one in their conference. But, yeah,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: I've got Barnsdale winning this weekend. I think they're going
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: to win next week, and I think, gosh, what? Coach,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: to have a playoff game basically week ten. Last game
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: of the season.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Well, it's Hominy next week.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's Hominy next week. Okay, okay. Not Oklahoma Union
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: next week. They finish with Oklahoma Union. Okay, all right. Yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: so next week, I mean, that's going to be their
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: playoff game. But I like them this week. I think
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: they're going to take care of business.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, Evan, has Hominy and Fairland played yet?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I do not know that, but I can find it
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: If you don't mind looking that up. I would assume
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: they have not played yet.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: They may not have.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They might play this week. Because it could end up
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in a three-way tie between Fairland-Hominy and Barnstall.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but if Barnstall won that, and they take care
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: of business.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they control their own destiny, really, to the fourth-place spot.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And they just got to beat Hominy. But they could
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: lose to Hominy, and Hominy beat Fairland, and then they
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: end up in a three-way tie.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You know, but their points, they're going to have to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: get their 15 every game. Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Anyways, they played Fairland last week and won 38-6.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: How many beat Fairland?
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy. Yep. 38-6.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: 38-6.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Okay. And that was an overtime win for Oklahoma Union,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: if you remember.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Well, Barnstall is going to take care of business.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Sorry, overtime win for Barnstall.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Barnstall beats Afton Eagles. The next one is a big one.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They've got to beat how many Bucs? That's our only
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: way in.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: That's it. That's it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's exactly right. So good luck to Barnsdall taking
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: on Afton again Thursday night. The other Thursday game across
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the area, Caney Valley, Ramona. They will go to Cornerstone
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Christian Academy down in Sperry. Caney Valley, 15-0 loss to
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Klassen SAS in that matinee in the rain Thursday afternoon
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: down in Ramona. Trojans have now lost three in a
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: row to Nowata Commerce and Klassen SAS combined 93-8. Of course,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: their two wins earlier this year that snapped their long
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: losing streak were against Mounds and Allen. I really cannot
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: find anything about Cornerstone Christian Academy. They must play 11-man football,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: but they've been independent forever. They've never been a part
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: of the OSSA that I can find. So a ball
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: game that Caney Valley obviously has added because they're playing
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: that independent schedule, and they will have their third-to-last game
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: in Sperry, first road game in a while for Caney
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Valley on Thursday.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Cornerstone crazy.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Do we know anything about their record or anything?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know a thing. I know that Brian
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: talked to Derek Hammer yesterday, and I haven't gotten a
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: chance to ask him if he figured out anything about them,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: but I could not find anything about them.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Okay, fine. Then I'm taking Katie Valley.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I think you should. I think that's a safe bet.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Because it's a new school over by Booker T.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And they've got a good volleyball team.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: We played them in volleyball this year.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I assume it's private.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Is.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And, you know, it's a new up-and-coming private school.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, they just built a new gym and all
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. So it's going to grow. But I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: don't even know they played football. So I'm taking Caney
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Valley guys for their third win.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Third win.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also taking them. I would assume this, like
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: you said, it's a new Christian Academy. They probably only
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: playing four or five games this year, I bet. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: really not even official schedule, but just kind of coming
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: off the ground with a new program. But I'm going
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Caney Valley for their third win.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck to the Trojans. Again, 15-0, that narrow
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: loss to 5A, if you want to call them that,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: class in SAS last week in the rain in Ramona.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Second straight Thursday game. for Derek Hammer's club. Ball games
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: on Friday night. Caney Valley, Kansas takes on Galena. Regular
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: season finale. Bullpups a good chance to get to 8-0.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Caney getting to 7-0 with a 62-14 win over Riverton
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: last week. Got a 24-0 lead early over those rats.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Led 38-6 at halftime. Jace Buckley scored the first two
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: touchdowns on the ground. Lane Denny also found Connor Pauly
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: for a touchdown. of 30 yards out. Bullpups have outscored
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: their opponents this year on average, 52-8 combined. It's 367-54
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: over those seven wins with four shutouts. Galena lost to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Baxter Springs last week, 48-14. Galena, again, is 0-7 series.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Caney last played them in 2024, won it 46-12, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: 44-12 in the playoffs of last year. Galena's most recent
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: win in the series was in 2021, so Caney has
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: actually beaten them the last two years in the playoffs
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: two seasons ago and then regular season two years ago.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Caney Valley and Galena, that is in Caney on Friday night.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Guys, Nighthawk talks about this all the time.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: We're to that point in the Bullpup season. Can we
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: just fast forward to the semifinals?
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is ridiculous.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: They're going to win this game by as many as
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: they want to.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: The good news is.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: This time of year, you know, they'll be able to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: get a.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Bunch of freshmen and sophomores some looks, and that's going
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: to be really, really good for them come playoff time
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: and going forward. And so, you know, that's really all
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: we need to talk about here. This game is going
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: to be name your score.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: This is silly.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I've got the bullpups.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: You've got the bullpups.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I technically have to say it.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think everyone's probably going to go bullpups. I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: just impressed with them this year. They're going to finish 8-0.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I always hate, though, the very last game of the
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: season or especially down at the very end. It's tough
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: to go 8-0, but it's even tougher to go 0-8.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: But it sounds like Galena just doesn't have a very
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: good or a young ball team. But I'm taking Caney Valley.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I think Coach is going to get them ready to go,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: get them ready for the playoffs, keep everyone healthy as
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: far as their starters and number twos. So a lot
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: of young kids are going to play, but I'm going
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Caney Valley.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You guys keep talking about those young kids getting in
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: this game. They've been in the whole season.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Did you see that their average is 52 points and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: given up seven?
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: That's impressive, guys.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: By the way, they did finish 8-0 in 2011 that
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I could find. So I believe if they can win
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: on Friday, that'd be their first undefeated regular season in
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: 15 years. They ended up going 11-1. So that means
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: they won three playoff games. I'm not sure what round
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that would have been. And ended up losing to Rock
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Creek that season of the postseason.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the coach's 32nd year.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's right. That was Coach Davis' 30th year. Yeah,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: that's exactly right. So good luck to the Bullpups against Galena. Again,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you can watch that on their Caney Pup Nation YouTube
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: or listen on US 98.1 FM, KUSN, our sister stations
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: in Kansas who cover Caney Valley. Oklahoma Union 0-7 against Hominy.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: It's our game of the week out of Class A24
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: on 100.1 KYFM video coverage, K1TV. com. Oklahoma Union lost to
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Ketchum last week, 47-0. They've been shut out in three
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: games now. Hominy's 2-2. Again, they beat Fairland last week, 38-6.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I had that in the notes. I had to look
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: it up earlier. Buck's other district win was over Quapaw.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Their losses were to Ketchum by 12. and Woodland by eight.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: So they lost to Ketchum by more points than Barnsdall did,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: by the way, just pointing that out. Caleb Christian's Bucks
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: have Oklahoma Union, obviously. Barnsdall and Afton remaining. District mates
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: three years ago, Hominy beat Oklahoma Union 49-6 in 2023.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Hominy won the other meeting as well in 22-47-8. So
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: they were district mates in 22-23. And they're back again
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: this fall. Oklahoma Union and Harmony from Northern Nowata County.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Friday night on 100.1 KYFM. Radio coverage and video coverage
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: on K1TV. com.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Evan, I love that this says Senior Night with a
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame recognition at halftime. Who's going in their
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame? We don't know who that is.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not 100% sure. I saw it on Fakebook.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: All right, well, this is going to be another tough game. um,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you know, um, I think harmony is, is better probably
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: than their record.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: They've, they've played the tough teams already.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: And, um, Oklahoma union is, is going to drop this
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: one on senior night. You, again, we do this every week,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: but they know we're pulling for them. Um, this is just,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: this is going to be another tough night.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I'm also going to go home. How many here? It's
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: going to be a tough night for Oklahoma union. Uh,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: really it's, uh, I don't know who their last two
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: games are. Hopefully they have one that they can squeeze out.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I think one of them is Woodland, I think. I
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: can find it for you, though.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But, yeah.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Have they played Afton yet?
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Uh-oh.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Here we go. There we go. That's the one that
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: they better circle.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, I'm going Bucs here.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're at Afton next week, and it's Barnstall, Baker Pardon.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: For Week 10.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Couple winnables. Possible winnables.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Which ones? Afton. Yeah. One winnable.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Well, Barnstall, they could beat them. Who knows?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they could.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You never know.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: But they're not going to beat Hominy. They are not
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: going to beat Hominy.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately. I just hope it's not a shutout. They've been
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: shutout for three straight games.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they need a score point.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Let's run a trick play. I'd work on trick plays
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: all week long. Maybe we can trick them. Do something fun.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Or I'd save that for Afton.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: You could do that too.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: All right, next ball game, Copan 6-1, ticking on winless
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Cave Springs. Class B-2, District 3, Hornets returning after a bye.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Copan 0-1 in the district. Their last game was all
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: the way back on October 9th, fell to Depew 44-38.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: We talked about that a bit last week. Tritton-Kallenberger's club
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: trying to make the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: If they beat Cave Springs, they'll likely clinch that. Cave
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Springs lost to Pankrick-Hunter. Last week, 46-0. They have a
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: 52-6 loss to Welch. Their common opponent of Weber's Falls.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Copan beat them by 20. Cave Springs lost to Weber's
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Falls 40-0. Cave Springs, by the way, edged Copan by
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: a single point in the first round of the 1987
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Class B playoffs. I could find that on the internet.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Finishes with Pond Creek Hunter at home. It's a big one.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Could be their last chance to host a playoff game.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: That'll be a week from Friday. Then on the road
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: at Welch, it is Copan against Cave Springs. And again,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: they're in that five-team Class B2, District 3. And if
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you can get this win, you almost assure yourself the four-seed.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Hopefully Copan can probably get Welch, and then it's going
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: to come down to Hal Depew, Pond Creek Hunter, and
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: then Copan does against Pond Creek Hunter for those top
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: three spots. if you can look ahead a little bit.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Guys, I think Copan is not only going to win
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: this game, I think they will beat Pond Creek Hunter
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: and get into the playoffs. I can't believe we're having
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: a conversation about that not happening. Copan is playing really well.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: They've got kind of their tough loss behind them, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: they're going.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: To be fine.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: I have them rolling going forward, and for sure this weekend.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, also going Copan, the thing that you've got to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: like as a coach is that you're in complete control
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: of exactly where they're going to end up in the playoffs.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: So I think, obviously, they're going to get back on
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: track this week. They had an off week. They'll be prepared.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Then I think they're going to finish that final stretch.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I think that Pond Creek-Hunter game is going to be
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: a really good game to watch. That's going to be
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: at home. That's going to be at least– I mean, Welch,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: I think they're a better football team than Welch. But, yeah,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, Pond Creek Hunter, boy, that's going to be
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: a really fun environment up at Copena.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: And I probably should have told you guys this earlier.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I found out officially after the notes were made. But
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Zane Strickland did tear his MCL and UCL, something like that.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: So he's obviously going to be out for the rest
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: of the season. So they've had that freshman, Presley Zimmerman,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: who's going to be the quarterback moving forward. He's done well. Yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: he's played two games. He started two weeks ago, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: then he had to play basically the whole game last week.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: And he's had the bye week to get ready, so
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: we're on almost a month of him being in there.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: What's his name?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Presley Zimmerman.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Presley Zimmerman. Yeah, the freshman, yeah. Okay, for the second time.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Well, the Copan's going to beat Cave Springs, guys, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: so that means they're in the playoffs. You win one
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: district game, you're in the playoffs. That baffles me, but
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it is what it is.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: It's the same conversation.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: How many minutes of tailgate talk has Coach.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Rebar– Speaking of OSSA.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Well, because back when I coached guys, you actually had
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to work to get in it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you had to win four games in your
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: district to get in, and then you still might not
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: get in.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah. I mean, you win four, then there potentially
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: could be some ties and a three-way tie and go
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: to points.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Well, there's one game.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: We don't even win any games.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: There's OSSA on the bingo card.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Now we just need Daddy and Lake.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Yep.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: But, you know, Cave Springs, they're in. And then, like
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you guys said, you look at Palm Creek Hunter, that's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a big one.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Was that next week?
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Week 10, yeah. Week 10's at Welch. Palm Creek Hunter's
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: next week at home.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: But I want to bring this up. Is Cave Springs,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: isn't that down by Salisaw?
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I actually was one. I did not look that up,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: and I was wondering.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Can you look that up?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Because Palm Creek Hunter is out in western Oklahoma.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Is that correct? It is.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: That's another one near Enid.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Near Enid, yep.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I know that one.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Look up Cave Springs. I thought it was down by Salisaw.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to look it up for our listeners here.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: It's in Adair County. I can tell you that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: That's down by the caves.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty close to Arkansas.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it's down by the lake.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Once again, another stupid thing we're doing. Cave Springs is
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: going to play Pond Creek Hunter.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: According to Wikipedia, Cave Spring in 2020 census had 74
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: people living there.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Next game. I think Copain has more than 74 people.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, for sure.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure. I was just making sure.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: And a set of twins was born last year.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: All right, Dewey, 4-3 against 2-5 Perry. Class 2A-1, District
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: 1 ballgame for the Bulldoggers. Both teams 2-2 in the District.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: This could be big for the postseason. Dewey lost to
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Chisholm last week, 56-14. They lost to Kiefer pretty big
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: the week prior. Bulldoggers now been outscored 122-32 during this
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: little two-game skid. They were down 42-8 at halftime. Braxton
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Braden did throw a couple touchdowns in that ballgame. Perry
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: started out things 0-5, but beat Crooked Oak 14-0, then
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: beat Blackwell 21-13. If you're wondering, Dewey beat Crooked Oak
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: by 6, then beat Blackwell 42-0. Travis Cole is there
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: at Perry, wanted to run the wishbone, only have a
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: couple seniors on a roster in the mid-20s. Dewey, after
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: this ballgame at home against Perry, finishes at Bethel in
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma City, then at Casha Hall. Perry will finish against
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Casha Hall and Bethel inverse. And again, looking at the
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: 2-1-1 district standings, you've got Casha at 4-0. Kiefer and
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Chisholm are both at 3-1. Obviously, Dewey's played both of them.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Then you've got Perry and Bethel. at 2-2, along with Dewey,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: and then Crooked Oak and Blackwell are bringing up the rear. So, Dewey,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: these ballgames against Perry and Bethel the next two weeks
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: will likely determine whether the Bulldoggers are dancing in 2-1.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and really, this week is it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: This is Hill.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Coach Sapopo will have them ready and knowing that. And
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: you've got to win both of these. They're not going
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: to be cash, but you've got to win.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Both of these. And everything is on the line.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: And I believe.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Coach Sepulveda is going to have them ready and knowing
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: that they're going to win at home this week. I
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: got the Bulldoggers. What a huge game. I hope that
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: the community knows how important this Friday night is and
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: just packs that place because this could be a really
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: special one-two punch for the Bulldoggers to.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Get into the playoffs, and that would be an amazing story.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: I got them.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also taking Dewey this week versus Perry. And
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: then once again, circle that on the calendar at Bethel
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: next week because that's going to be for everything. That's
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: going to be for that number four seed. And, you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. I think, you know, that last
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: game of the season versus Casha Hall, that's a tough
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: ticket to go punch down at Casha Hall. And I
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: think that next week, I mean this week, I mean
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Coach Spalpel's going to have them ready. They're not going
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: to overlook this opponent because they've got to have this one.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: But I think they are a better football team than Perry.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: And to be honest, I think they're going to be, boy,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: evenly matched versus Bethel. And it's at Bethel. But I'm
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: going to take Dewey this week. And then next week's
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: going to be a big one. That's going to be
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: a fun one as well.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, next week will be big. But first off, you
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: have to take care of Perry this week.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't take care of Perry this week,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you beat Bethel, you end up maybe
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in a three-way tie.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: And you don't want to get in that situation. It's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a little Your focus this week should be on Perry
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and Perry only. And it should be on not turning
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the ball over. If they do not turn the ball over,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: they will win this football game. If they have a
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: couple turnovers, then they got themselves in a dogfight. If
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: they have three or more, they get beaten.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: It's simple.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Or if they can get Perry to turn the ball over,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and Dewey's done a pretty good job of their defense
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: getting turnovers. So if they can do that, they're going
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to win. And I think they're going to beat Perry.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to beat them by two touchdowns.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I would really like for them to, on their last touchdown,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: go for two to get their 15 points, secure that. But,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens. But I got the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Bulldoggers at home, and then we'll focus next week on Bethel.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: All right, good luck to Dewey and Perry on Friday night.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Similar type of game for the Nowata Ironmen in Class
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: A1 District 3. Nowata 4-3, taking on 4-3 Commerce. That's
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the ballgame we'll have on KRIG 104.9, krigtv.com. Nowata 2-1,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: and the District Commerce is 1-2. Nowata beat Colcord last
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Thursday 26-0. Are you guys aware of this? Have you
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: seen this story on our website?
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I saw it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: I saw it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Nowata and Colcord were tied at 20 with just a
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: few seconds left. Nowata used their last timeout after a
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: bad snap. They were trying to go down and score,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: had a bad snap, had to burn their last timeout,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: had three seconds left. I don't know what the down was.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: It didn't matter. They were at their own 15-yard line.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Center snapped it over the quarterback's head again, second time.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Quarterback Adrian O'Dell fields the ball four yards deep in
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: the end zone. The time has expired. Again, there's three
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: seconds left. Tie game. Hucks it downfield. Isaiah Saxton was
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: all the way behind the defense, caught it at the 40,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: and scored an 87-yard touchdown from a play that went
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: four yards deep in their own end zone as time
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: expired to win over Colcord last week, 26-20.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: By the way.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Saxton, 87 receiving yards. That was his only catch. Adrian
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: O'Dell had 97 yards passing. He only had 10 yards passing.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Prior to that play.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Commerce has won two in a row. They just beat
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Caney Valley 30-8. And Summit Christian 38-20. They had lost
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: to Morrison and Colcord in the district. Wynn would put
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Nowata at 3-1 before they take on Pawhuska and Pawnee
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: to end. That's going to be a tough ending for Nowata.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Commerce Wynn would leave both teams at 2-2. Previous meetings,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: last matchup, Commerce won 42-7 in 2017. Nowata had won
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: the previous three. pretty handily from 2014 to 2016. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: looking at the standings for the district, again, if you
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: win this one, Nowata's going to likely be in the
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: playoffs because they have two wins. They'd have the tiebreaker
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: over both Commerce and Colcord who have one district win. Obviously,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: this would give Nowata their third district win. You've got
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Mortison in there as well at 2-2, and then you
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: have Pahuska and Pawnee who are both undefeated at the
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: front of the district. We'll talk about that matchup. coming
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: up here in just a moment but uh no water
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: and commerce on krig 104.9 and krig tv.com yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Guys they're gonna lose um those last two are against
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: really really good teams um but i think we're gonna
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: win this this week i i and and that's going
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: to create a really really interesting um playoff breakdown. And
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: so I kind of want the chaos. So I'm, I'm
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: taking the Ironman. Um, I wish there was video out
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: there of this.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: I want to see that play.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I want to see, I'm going to, I'm going to
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: try to find it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: That's really, really cool.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: And, um, I'll bet, I'll bet they were going bananas,
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: but yeah, I'm going to take the Ironman this week
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: just because I'm open for the chaos.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: I want to see it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple things that I want to bring up.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Did Evan say huck the ball?
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: He said he hucks the ball.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Huck, huck, huck the ball.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Well, if you saw the video, because, again, he did
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: huck it. He didn't see anyone. He just turned around
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and threw it as far as he could down toward
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Saxon.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: It was more than heaving it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: It was hucking it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: It was hucking.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: And it's one of those things where you kind of
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: know if the ball wasn't snapped over his head. And
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a chance at a safety, right? You wouldn't
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: have been in that position. The reason it ended up working.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: out was because you lulled the call court into thinking
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: they could win it. I mean, they almost gave up
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: a safety to lose. That's the thing. They could have
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: taken a knee cut overtime. Instead, they scored an 87-yard
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: touchdown with the clock at zeros.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: How do you think, Coach, that secondary coach felt when
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: he walked out of the locker room afterwards? Or the safety.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Or the safety. And then the other thing, Coach, you
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: think they let him kick the extra points?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Uh it didn't appear that they did i don't well.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah they have to for points right oh well.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: They didn't make it i guess because they only.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Want no one thought about everybody jumping up and down
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: i guarantee it yeah i mean that's an extra point
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and just like batch was just talking about this thing
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: could come down to where there is chaos at the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: very end of the season but i'm taking no no
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: water this week i think it's going to be a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: great game.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I think they you know when you have wins like this,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: it's unbelievable what it can do for the team as
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: far as just the energy. And hopefully they carry that
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: same energy over into this week because their last two
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: games are going to be tough. So this is once again,
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: coming down to the end of the year, this is,
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is, they win here. They got a
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: really good chance of getting in and what a year
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: they're having. What a great job that coach is doing
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: over there. I mean, for them to, You know, right now.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Four and three. Four and three. So they could be
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: five and three. That's just, yeah. I mean, that's something
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: that I think everyone on this call wouldn't have probably
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: guessed that. We probably would have guessed the under on this.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: So great job. Good luck, No Water. Go win it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: And then let's see what happens the next couple weeks.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: How about them Ironmans? How about that iron? If they
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: win this, guys, they're going to be third place.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Unless I'm looking at something different.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: They lost to Morrison, and Morrison still has Colcord. So
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: they will likely, I mean, depending upon what happens there,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: if Colcord upset Morrison, then they have a chance.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: But they're going to be in.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to be in. If they win this game,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: they're in.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Yep. That's awesome.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Good for them. I've got the Ironman.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Good luck to Nelwada.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: The luck is going to continue. The magical season.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's why you play all four quarters, isn't it, Coach?
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: You play the full 48 minutes.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, what would you have done after a bad
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: snap with three seconds left, tie game at your own 13?
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: Get under center and kneel on it is what I
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: would have done.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Coach, same thing? Now, play what I've ran or– Would
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: you have just taken a knee or tried to throw it? Well, no,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying if you just had a bad snap– Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: You've got it, whatever. It's your own 13-yard line. You've
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: got to go 87 yards in one play to score.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I'd run the ball.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I'd do something safe and run the ball.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe you could break it, but it would be something safe.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I'd kneel on it. You'd kneel on it. Go to overtime.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: 25 or 10 a.m. I thought the.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Ironmen were playing under center anyway. Why are they doing
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it in the guns?
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. I guess just because they were
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: trying to do something. That's probably why they snapped it
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: over the head to play prior, I would guess. All right.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Final ball game before we get to Bartlesville. 7-0 Pawhuska
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: at 5-2 Pawnee. Couple good games this week with that
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: know-what of commerce on K-Rig 104.9 and the Huskies and
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Black Bears on Sports Talk 99.1 FM, KPGM Video, kpgmtv.com.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Lonnie Ty Loftus will be over in Pawnee for this one.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Class A1, District 3, probably championship game. But Husker coming
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: off a bye week, final three-week sprint. Both teams are
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: 3-0 in the district. Winner will take the outright lead.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Going into the final two weeks, Bahaska last won at
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Summit Christian 65-14. Bahaska has outscored their opponents 339-83. It's
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: an average of 48-12. Pawnee has won five in a
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: row after an 0-2 start. That includes a 60-28 win
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: over Morrison last Thursday. They beat Summit Christian 64-13 and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Colcord 60-22. Kerry Jones emphasized ball security. Pawnees run heavy.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Offense returning. Bahuska won a thriller last year. If you remember, 42-40.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Pawnee led by 12, entering the fourth quarter. Grayson Reeves
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: had a big fumble recovery. Bahuska had taken the lead
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: after an onside kick recovery in there as well. Bahuska
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: has won four of seven in the series with the
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: win last year. They had lost in 2018, 2019, and 2024,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: and they have some previous meetings back in the 2000s.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: as well. Bahaska at Pawnee on KPGM and KPGMTV.com. This one, again,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: will be for that A1-3 district lead and probably championship.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I'll point out before we start, Pawnee has probably played
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: the three of the four weakest teams in the district
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: so far. I mean, we'll see, but they have not
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: played Commerce yet, but their other wins are over Colcord,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Summit Christian.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: And Morrison.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Evan, you beat me to it.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying they're a paper tiger or anything like that,
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: but I do believe that if this game were at home,
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: I would be telling you that Pawhuska's going to roll them.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I think being at Pawnee evens it out a little bit,
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: but I still think Pawhuska is going to win handily.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: I don't think Pawnee is as good as they look.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Um, on paper. And, and I think Busk is really good.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: And, um, I think it's hilarious that I keep hearing, um,
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: people talking about, you know, this just being Mark Fry's
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: kind of, he's just filling in and, you know, they're
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: not this, that, and the other, he, he is doing
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: a really good job and, um, continues to, to prove
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: every week why he was the right guy over there.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: And, um, I, I think they're, they're playing, you know,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: exactly how.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: They need to at the right time of the year. Um,
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: And I got them on the road this week.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. Pawhuska is... Yeah, they're going to be ready.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: This is going to be a great game, though. But
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: here's something, you know, in the notes we talked about
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: and Coach talked about a little bit earlier is ball security.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Here's a little known fact. And so I love when
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: I see this ball security and obviously everyone talks about
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: turnovers and turnover battle. Did you know, statistically, if you
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: take the last 50 years of football at NFL level
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: and also college, all college games, that if you don't
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: have a turnover during the game, that you win your
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: game 78.7% of the time. So I love it when
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I hear coaches talk about ball security because it truly is.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: And so many times, I think it's cliche, you know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: they talk about the turnover battle. But if you look
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: at some of the really great coaches out there, P.J. Fleck,
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: you know, the coach up at Penn State, He knows
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: the statistic, and he talks about it at his coaching clinics,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: and he talks about it, and he lives it. He
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: makes every ball carrier on the field during practice all
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: times have two hands on the ball. And even when
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: you hand it back to the coach or back to
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: the quarterback or to the referee during the game, watch
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Penn State, they have to hand it with two hands.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: It's that constant reinforcement of culture that he goes, hey,
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm not a very good coach, but if
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: we can not turn the ball over, I can win
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: eight out of ten games and I'll coach forever. But,
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: you know, so I love it. But I think Pawhuska,
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: you know, they're playing really well. This is going to
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: be a great ball game. This is going to be
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: a great environment, Pawnee environment. But it's going to be
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: a close one. But I'm going to pick Bajuska here.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: This will turn into an incredible rivalry.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, gosh, it is.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: They've had some battles.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Remember last year? I watched that game last year. I
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: think we all watched it last year.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: That game was insane.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: That was incredible. So you don't think that this week
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: has been kind of circled on Pawnees. Oh, absolutely. You know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: in the locker room, on the bulletin boards. But, yeah,
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Bajuska's playing really well. Yeah. Both of them are, actually.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: So this is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: It's going to be fun, and it's going to come
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: down to 100%, like you said, the turnovers. You know,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: whoever has the least amount of turnovers is going to
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: win this football game. It's going to come down to
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: special teams, and that's where I got Pawhuska. Coach Fry
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: has been running special teams for years, and they practice constantly,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and they are good at it. And so that's a
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: big one for them. So I got Pawhuska in a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: close one, but it's going to be fun. Wow, yeah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: That's such a great point on special teams, you know,
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: because once again, I think that's something that's so overlooked.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: You know, you get an offense coordinator that goes over there,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, instead of a 25-minute session
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: on offense during team, they go 35 minutes, and then
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden special teams gets compressed. That's why
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: most of the time, like any team I've been associated with,
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: you get special teams out of the way because that's
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: going to be the third phase of the game that
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: people forget about. Or that's the time that if you're
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: going to go two and a half hours, it's period,
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: gets compressed. Yeah, yeah.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: You're right. And speaking of special teams, guys, since we're
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: getting ready to talk about the Bruins, I want to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: talk about the Bruins kicker now.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know what his name is.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Davin Thomas.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, since Macy got hurt.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Another baseball player. We've gone from one baseball player to another.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: I think he's a football player first, to be fair.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even know him, so you can tell me
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: he's a golfer, tennis player.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: We got some.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: No, that's Carter Sawyer. Yeah, that's a golfer. I think
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: he's back this week, too. He played last week.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't matter. But we're talking about special teams.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: What an incredible idea they've got at just kicking that ball,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: having it roll down the field like they're doing.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Booker T struggled with it a couple times.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. And the week before, whoever it was
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that they played, they struggled with it as well.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why people kick it up in the
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: air anyway. Because think about it. How many times do
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: you see these great athletes trying to scoop and score
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: when that ball's on the ground? Yeah, the greatest athletes
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: on the planet are out there trying to scoop and score.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: And they look like my two-year-old grandson trying to pick
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: up his little truck. It's unbelievable.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: I agree a million percent.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Well, the final ball game, Bartlesville, Ponca City. Conoco Phillips
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Bowl trophy on the line. Bruins lost a close one
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: to Ponca a year ago. Gave up a late two-point
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: conversion in the fourth quarter. Ended up losing by one.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Ponca's 4-3, 0-2 in the district. They've played a tough
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: district schedule. Lost to Stillwater 63-14. They lost at home
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: to Muskogee last week 33-28. Final score probably didn't even
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: fully tell the whole story of that game. Ponca Probably
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: outplayed Muskogee a little bit at the end, but had
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: some special teams kicking miscues that kind of led to
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: a couple Muskogee scores. Took that away. Maybe Ponca would
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: have won that game. Justin Rowland in his third season there.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: He was obviously a Po-Hi graduate back in 2004. Also
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: a K-State football player just like Matt Hennessey, so a
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: couple Wildcats players. meeting on the field for a head
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: coaching matchup. Ponca coming off a 6-5 record a year ago,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: hosted a playoff ball game, lost to Southmore in the
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: first round by a single touchdown. They run kind of
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: a weird offense, run the ball a whole lot, but
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: pretty much everyone is back. In fact, I remember when
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Bartlesville won at Ponca City two years ago, I guess
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: it was, both those teams were playing a ton of freshmen.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: The Bruins had some off the field stuff. And that
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: was Michael Kent's first start. And he threw a touchdown
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: to EJ Belisle. And then Davin Carter was a sophomore,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: got a sack for a safety. So you had a
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: sophomore get a sack and a couple of freshmen score
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: in that ball game. Now, obviously those freshmen are juniors
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: and Davin's a senior. And those guys that were playing
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: for Ponca City now are on their 30 year under
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: coach Roland playing in that offense. And they've gotten a
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: whole lot better. And it's interesting the way this shakes up.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: I think certainly that the The three toughest district games
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: for Bartlesville are the last three games of the regular season.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Get Ponca at home, go to Muskogee next week, and
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: then to Stillwater the week following. And there's maybe an
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: argument to be made that you kind of step up
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: in competition every single week, going from Sand Springs to
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Booker T to Ponca to Muskogee to Stillwater. But it
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: should be fun. 41st meeting between the Bruins and the Wildcats,
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Bartlesville 14th. and Ponca City on K1 Radio Coverage, Video Coverage, K1TV. com
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: on Friday night.
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Guys, I know that Coach Hennessy has a ton of
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: respect for Coach Roland, and he has done a really.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Good job over there with that program.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: And this is absolutely going to be the game to
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: see this week. Not just because it's senior night or
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: anything like that.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: This is a.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Really important game for the Bruins. And I hope people
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: hear me saying that. I know Coach Hennessy has tried
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: to get the word out that we need a packed house.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: It's like we mentioned in the open. It's that time
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: of year.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: It's perfect.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a really explosive environment, and this
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: is a really critical game. I think the Bruins are
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: going to win it, and I think that Stillwater game
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: is going to end up coming down to everything because
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to beat Muskogee. But let's start
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: with this week with Ponca City.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: That's obviously a big rivalry.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Coach Hennessy will be playing that up this week, and
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: I think he's going to have them ready. I was
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: kind of checking scores all night the other night, and
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: I really thought Ponca City.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: Was going to win that Muskogee game. They were in it.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: And they're good.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: And so I can't wait for this game.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be great. But I got
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: the Bruins winning a really, really important home game to
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: head into those two final mountains they got to climb
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: to end the season. So Bruins, I got them.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I talked to Coach Hennessey yesterday, and he told me
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: that they'll line up under center, run wing tee, a
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: variance of a wing tee. They'll line up in the gun.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: They'll spread you out, and they'll even go just empty.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: So I think the biggest challenge for the Bruins is
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: getting just lined up correctly. And if they can get
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: lined up correctly, they'll be fine defensively. Here's where the
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Bruins win the game. Ponca is not going to be
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: able to stop them. Bartlesville is playing at such a
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: high level right now offensively. Jeez, my knees. I mean,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: it's like they can just score at will. And if
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: them butts were candy nuts, we'd all have a Merry
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Christmas game. But if we could just go back to
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: that Claremore game, early game.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Gosh dang it.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: You know, where we had the turnovers. My gosh, this
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: team has come so far.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: We beat Claremore by 21 points right now. Oh, I agree.
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: Oh, I agree.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, geez.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: But we can't go back. That's fine. We'll keep going forward.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: But they are playing at such a high level. And
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the special teams continues to play well. Offensive line is,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: you know, last week, Did you see some of those
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: cats for Booker T?
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: I can't believe I forgot to talk about that.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: What about 75? Yeah. Number 63, you'll think. Holy. 75, boys,
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: is a play.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked in the.
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: We talked last week about how big those guys are,
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: and you can read it on paper.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: But when you see them, I mean, that guy.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: That 75, was in the Bruin backfield before the ball.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Was snapped, the first seven downs of that game.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: It was unbelievable.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen a performance like that from a defensive
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: lineman in a lot of years. And I go back
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: to probably Muskogee when Stacey McGee was down there. I mean,
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: he was just a man-child down there.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: But they still scored at will. When I'm watching that game,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: at no point in time of watching that game did
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I ever feel like Bartlesville was going to get themselves
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in a situation and may not win this game. I mean,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: it was incredible. And they're going to do the same
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: thing Friday night. They're going to continue to move the ball,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: score at will, get a couple turnovers defensively. They're going
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to be in great shape. I got Bartlesville winning, and
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to get their 15 points. Yep.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: Nighthawk.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Nighthawk, can I say something real quick?
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, of course. Yeah, go ahead.
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: Mason Fine, I'm going to tell you guys something. Because, again,
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: you watch tape and you see it on paper.
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: But until you're in there that night.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: Kind of seeing what they're doing and how they're doing it,
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: you can't really truly game plan. And Mason Fine earned
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: his money in that game last week. The way he
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: started rolling Michael Kent out and the plays he was
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: calling to get dumps, real quick dumps after that cap
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: was just running straight at him was brilliant. He did
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: such a good job. I kept saying it as I
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: was watching it. Man, Mason Fine is the real deal. Sorry,
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to say that because it was a
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: brilliant game plan.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: Joseph Graves, by the way, is the guy you guys
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: were mentioning. 6'2, 295 pounds. They had another offensive lineman
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: who was like about 400 pounds. We talked about that.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: It's Phil Lohlt's son. The other thing I'll mention, the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: start of that game is you started with a couple
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: negative plays. Barbersville got the ball first, and you were
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: at like third and 13. And, you know, you're like, well...
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: i don't know it might end up punting and then
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: and then who knows what's going to happen or whatever
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: and they came after michael on third and long and
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: he was able to kind of navigate the line of
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: scrimmage and boy i mean once he got past the
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: initial couple of rushers just because the way that they
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: came after him it was going to be a long
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: touchdown i don't remember what the yardage was now off
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: the top of my head 70 yard touchdown something like
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: that but i thought that that was uh a really
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: big play in that game. If you end up taking
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: a sack there again, and you punt, and it's fourth
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: and 15, you end up going down 7-0, that whole
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: thing could be a little bit different. That was a
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: really big play right at the beginning from Michael Cannon,
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: a way to turn their pressure, obviously, on its head.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and... Evan, to your point, so offensive coordinators will
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: have a five to seven play script. So no matter what,
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: they're going to run those five or seven plays. So
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: what happens is that you see things from film and
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: on study and paper that maybe just don't work out
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: because all of a sudden you have a Joseph Graves
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: out there that is just disrupting everything. And then, you know,
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: you keep running through it. And then after that, you
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: make their adjustments. Batch, I will say about Mason, he's
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: not very good. So let's not. I mean, because of
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: our listenership, let's not even put that out there. He's
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: not very good. We're just loaded with athletes. He wouldn't
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: be a Hall of Famer without his buddy Turtle. Exactly.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Or he wouldn't be a Hall of Famer without Coach Hennessey.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: So, no, we've talked about this week in, week out.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: We've talked about it, obviously, every week from week zero.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: You're seeing– Obviously, got a great bunch of kids. They
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: have bought in. They're working hard. We've got some great
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: athletes out there. Michael Kent is playing at a high,
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: high level. And you can see his improvement from week
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: zero to now has just been light years and been
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: just a steep ascent there. But then also, the same
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: thing that we've been talking about every week, the coaching staff,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Coach Hennessey put together a heck of a staff, and
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: you're seeing fundamentally, you're seeing a better staff, better coached
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: team than the last couple, three weeks that that Barzill's played.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: So you're seeing some just really good technically sound football
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: by the Barsville Bruins, and that's what happened last week. Athletically,
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: Booker T had us. On paper, Booker T had better
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: athletes than us. But our system and our culture and
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: our kids and our discipline– And to be honest, Mason
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: Fine offensively and Purtle and those guys putting together that
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: offensive game plan, they're going to score 60-65 every week.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you. Their offense, I'm looking at it from
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: a defensive standpoint. I don't know what you take away. Obviously,
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Michael Kent's playing. I mean, he leads every statistic in
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: every category in passing in the state, 6A1, 6A2, and
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: then also in touchdowns. And he's like number three in rushing.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: So he's playing very smart football. He's keeping them healthy.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: He's rolling them out. He's making the right reads. And
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: then he's got the receivers. You're seeing some receivers. It's
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: just not the Price-Lusk show anymore. There's other receivers, Roberts, E-Man.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: All those guys are starting to play really well. And
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: then I'm going to say it. The offensive line is
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Coach Hughes has those guys. If you look at how
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: they're playing week zero to how they are now, it's
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: unbelievable talent. unbelievably different of how much better in such
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: a short time that they've gotten. So you're seeing the coaching,
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: these kids fundamentally get way better. It's night and day.
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: And Nighthawk, don't sleep on Wyatt Mathis. Oh, gosh, no. Yes.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: The run game has allowed them to really do some things,
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: and that's a critical piece.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: So, Nighthawk, are you taking the Bruins?
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: Well, I haven't even got there. Oh, sorry. What are
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: you talking about? I'm still talking about last week. My gosh, geez.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: You got someplace to be?
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: Give me a break.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: I was here on time and early, right? What time
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: is it? Okay, we got another 20 minutes. So talk
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: about Punk City. I love Coach Rowland. I followed him
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: through high school. I've said it several times. He was
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: probably the best high school linebacker that I've seen play.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Of course, went to NEO. He was a state champion wrestler.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: He was a heavyweight. I mean, he was a national
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: champion and junior college wrestler, went to K-State, went to
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: the 49ers. But I think this is going to be
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: a great game. I think it's going to be a
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: knockdown dragout. Barsville, this is our rival. I mean, this
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: is the game. I remember playing them in the 80s.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: This is doing no water.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. But even in the 80s when I was
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: coming through high school as a Barsville Bruin, this was
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: the game that you had to win. And, of course,
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: we beat them every year. And then I remember my
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: oldest son. This was the game they all circled. They
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: wanted to beat Ponca. I remember my young son. So
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: this is going to be a great environment. And it
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: means something. So it's not like in the years past,
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: this means something for playoffs and for seeding and all that.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: But I am going to take Bartlesville. I agree with
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: Coach Rev. I think offensively, I think they're going to
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: have a tough time stopping us. I think defensively, I
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: think that, you know, we're getting better every week. I mean,
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: they've got a good scheme. The missed tackles has got
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: to be something that's high on the list. We're missing
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: a lot of tackles. We're in positions, but we've just
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: got to finish. But that running back last week was
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: pretty good. He was just picked by Tulsa World as
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Player of the Week. But I'm picking Punk City. I'd
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: encourage everyone listening, get to the game. It's going to
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: be a great environment. It's going to be a beautiful evening,
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: 75 degrees. Kickoff's probably going to be 65 degrees. and
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: let's cheer the Bruins on for a big game and
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: to beat Ponca and get that cup back.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: And the seniors.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, senior night.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Yep, senior night. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: I spurted past that as well. I wanted to give
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: you Michael Kent's numbers since we were talking about it.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: 154 of 229 passing at 67% for Bruins. 2,016 yards.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: That is in seven ballgames. That's 288 yards passing a game.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: 18 touchdowns, seven interceptions running the ball. Michael, 91 carries
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: for 526 yards. That's 5.8 a pop. And he's got
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: 15 touchdowns on the ground. That is 33 total touchdowns
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: in seven games and just over 2,500 all-purpose yards.
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: And again, you're.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: You're talking about 350 all-purpose yards a game.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's incredible. That's incredible. I tell you, he's got
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: a little bit of juice. I mean, he broke on
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: that one, and I'm telling you, you know, I don't
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: know what he runs in the 40, but, boy, that
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: was nice to see. I mean, that straight line run
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: once he broke, it was a good read.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Coach Hennessy says he's the best running back on the team,
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: and he also has come in a couple times now
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: when they've tried to play that late quarter, late half, Defense,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: he's been in as a safety, again, trying to, you know,
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: just as an athlete back there.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they need to keep him off the field.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: Which didn't super work out last week when Booker T scored.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: As time expired, basically, on both ends of both the
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: second and fourth quarters. But, regardless, obviously the last one
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: didn't matter at all.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you, Barzill football, it's, I mean, just
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: area football right now. There's just some real, I mean. Yeah,
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: I know it. I mean, there's a chance that there's
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: going to be five teams in the playoffs that we're going.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: To be covering. Let's think about it.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, tailgate talk's never going to end.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Obviously, Barnstall still has a chance. Bahaska's
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: going to make it. You've got Bartlesville. It's going to
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: make it. Dewey has a very good chance to make it.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: Copan is going to make it. Nowata's likely going to
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: make it. And then Caney Valley, Kansas. That's seven. Seven
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: schools in our three-county area, not counting Harmony and Woodland
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: and plus Caney Valley, Kansas.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: That's all the schools....
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: That we cover.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Pretty much, yeah.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Except for Oklahoma Union.
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, except for Oklahoma Union, yeah.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: That are eligible.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and obviously there still may be some hiccups in there.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: They're not all clinched, but they've all got– they're all
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: living into week eight, and that's certainly more than we've
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: said in many years.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you look at seventh, eighth, and ninth grade.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: I think, what, ninth grade finished– or eighth grade finished 8-0,
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: 9-0 maybe last night.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: Still water? Yeah. Oh, yeah, bad, 42-14. Oh. And then
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: seventh grade, I know, I think only dropped one. One. Yeah. So, gosh,
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, Coach Holmes and Coach Thurman and those guys
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: are just, I mean, it's just from top to finish.
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: You know, we recognize that week one, week zero, I guess,
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: you know, how that sideline, how it was organized and
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: how those coaches were coaching. I mean, it was just
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: a completely different feel from what it has been for
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: the last four years.
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So.
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: Awesome.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Nighthawk, are you guys going to actually draw an opponent
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: this week, or is everybody just going to forfeit?
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: Well, there's word that they'll forfeit again.
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, I was just kidding. You're kidding me.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: I am kidding you. No, we traveled to Glenpool. We're 7-0,
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: last district or district game for us. We've already wrapped
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: up the number one seed. Last week was a well-deserved
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: time off. We only practiced Monday and Tuesday. Obviously, I
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: didn't play Saturday, so I think half our team was
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: out there hunting for youth weekend. And so this week
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: we go to Glenpool. It's a very good team. So
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: our goal to start the season was to be 9-0,
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: so this is another step in the journey, and kids
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: had two good nights of practice Monday and Tuesday. So
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: we'll get on the road Wednesday and go take on Glenpool.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: on that Aram 15 track, and then finish up with
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: Jinx at home, which is kind of our rival. But
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: it's not a district game. So, yeah, yeah, those kids, yeah,
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: they're something. There's only two teams that are unbeaten in
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: sixth grade in the INFC. It's us and Bixby, and
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Bixby is the last, have won it the last couple years.
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: So we'll get into the playoffs and get the host again.
• 57:32
  Speaker 6: Hopefully get a chance with them.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, we'll get the host.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: We'll have home field advantage for the first couple rounds.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: Evan said he's going to be broadcasting our games at home. Yeah.
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, we should have the whole thing. We should have
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: the PA man. We should have the broadcast team.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no. You're not. No, every
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: time you've done the PA, we've lost.
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: But tailgate talk should be doing– The call live on
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: the radio. Oh, you guys would hammer me. Yeah, wouldn't
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: that be great?
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: A little Manning cast.
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: What is Nighthawk doing? What an idiot.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Why would he pass the ball?
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: You would guarantee to lose that game.
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: Actually, I would be wired in to you guys, and
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: you guys tell me what you're seeing up there. Yeah.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, that was fun. Week 8 in the books.
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: Good luck, everyone.
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: Have fun.
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: Safe travels back. It's not the same without you here.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: No, it's not true. It's the best show we've ever done.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Great. From the closet.
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: See you, boys. Good luck to the team.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: We'll see you. All right, bye.
