WEEK 2 REVIEW: Walk-off FG Win for DeSmet, East St. Louis beats Gainesville, Hannibal stuns Eureka, CBC close call vs SLUH, Ladue rolling · Gateway Sports Venue Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show. I'm John,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: he's Roman. We are reviewing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Week 2, and I don't think it's going to quite
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: live up to what the legacy Week 1 had.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Last week, but.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: It was still an excellent week.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We still had some unbelievable games, and I thought we
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: had the game of the year last week with Eureka
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and Troy, but I think it's safe to say that
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it somehow, someway got topped.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And we're going to lead into this with Dismet.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: knocking off Cardinal Ritter on the road, 49-48, just like Eureka,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: beating Troy. But this one was a little bit more dramatic,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I think, because we had a game-winning field goal.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: A 41-yarder by, who was he?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Timmy Recker, a sophomore kicker for DeSmet.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Very poetic, because actually on DeSmet's first touchdown in the game,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: he missed his PAT.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: It actually hit the left upright.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: And then his coaches talked to him a bit, helped
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: him settle down, and they trust him.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: He nailed it, and it was right as the game ended.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Some people might be confused because the video shows there
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: were actually. 8 seconds left on the clock after the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: kick was made, but there's actually a state rule that
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: they do not recognize tenths of a second. So if
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: there's anything less than one full second, it just is,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: by rule, zero seconds. That's why there was no extra
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: kickoff there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Even if there was extra kickoff, if, like, DeSmit were
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: just onside of it and, you know, kind of forced
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: immediate recovery.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Anyway, an unbelievable game. Cam Sharp, legacy game. I mean,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: he had 26 carries for 181 yards on the ground,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: and then he also had six catches for 56 receiving yards.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: He had four touchdowns in the game.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I feel like.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: there was not a.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Single time where he went down after first contact. Like,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it almost always took two or three guys to take
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: him down. His balance, just to stay on his feet,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: is incredible.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And he's not a big guy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: He's not.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He's really quick.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: He looks like a really quick running back because he's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: not built like you would imagine. You're talking about him like, oh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: this guy must be a bruiser. Like, he must be
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: like 225 pounds. Like, no, he's like probably 190, I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: would assume. But, yeah, his balance is incredible.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: He runs super well. The DeSmet O-line did really good.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Just the biggest difference, I think, in this game was
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the DeSmet O-line brought more physicality than the Cardinal Raider
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: O-line did. And DeSmet's pass rush wasn't that crazy, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: he only got a couple sacks.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: But they did enough to.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Really, the name of the game was.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You were here, too.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was at the game last night, and Cardinal
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Raider got a lot of big plays for touchdowns. I mean, shoot. Um,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Malahan Green had a few insanely, um, great plays. He had, um,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: a touchdown catch in the first quarter. And then in
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the second quarter, he had a kickoff turn for a touchdown. Um,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, the speed, Ritter definitely had the speed advantage, right?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, uh, Malahan Green, um.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Ryan Richmond-McDavis.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Terrell Davis, Ryan McDavis, um.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And even rather more, not necessarily just open field running,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: but just getting away.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: From the pass rush. Carter Ritter's speed is incredible.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: And, you know, all the track fans listening will definitely
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: agree because Carter Ritter's track program is pretty insane.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But it's whenever they.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It's just their offense, because their offensive line didn't really
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: get off the ball that well and didn't bring the hurt,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: they just.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Couldn't get a run game going consistently.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And for the first... Quarter, first, part of the second quarter,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the Colorado offense was just quick screen pass, get our
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: guys in an open space, and let them go. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: it worked because they have the fastest guys. They have
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the best athletes in the field. But then the DeSmet
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: defense adjusted. And because, I mean, there were definitely some
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: other throws over the middle that the DeSmet defenses couldn't
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: get to. You know, some good passes from Rylan Moore.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: But the lack of rushing attack I think is ultimately
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: what kind of killed Cardinal Raider here is because they
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: just couldn't hold their lead. And I think that the
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: two three outs in the third quarter kind of allowed
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: DeSmet to get back into it because they scored once.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: They got back in a good field position for the
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, and they scored to open the fourth quarter.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And once they got near the end zone, the DeSmet
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: line just took over and just had great blocks up front. And, yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: it was a super exciting game, super back and forth.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Ritter was actually up 36-20 at one point.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: At halftime.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: That was a halftime score. And then Nesmet came back
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and won. But, yeah, I mean, some incredible talent on
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: both sides of the field.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: It was super fun to watch. I'm glad I was
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: able to make it there.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And, yeah, it was a game for the ages. We'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: have it on YouTube probably sometime tonight, I.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Had to guess. Yes, that's the hope.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So, and we were talking about this game last night,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: so I wanted to go back to the final drive.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So you mentioned that the clock operator kind.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Of might have not, like, I don't know, like, unintentionally
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: or whatever, but may have had a little bit of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a blunder that went against Ritter's advantage, I guess.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: So, okay, so the final drive.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: So Cardinal Ritter scores on an Amir Tillman run with
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: about a minute left. And DeSmet had two timeouts left.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It was a crazy pass. So Ritter has the ball.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's Ritter ball. They're down by four, and they have
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: like a minute 45 left, and they have a crazy
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: play from a pass down the left side from rather
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: than Moore to Ryan McDavis. It was a great catch,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: and McDavis got away from the safety and got away
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: from both safeties, I should say, and somehow found a
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: way to get down like the two-yard line. And the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: next play, Amir Tillman got it in. Or six-yard line,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: excuse me. And then Amir Tillman got it in the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: next play. So with a little under a minute left,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I believe, in two timeouts was DeSmet Ball. And they
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: actually committed a holding penalty on the ensuing kickoff return.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So they were back at their own 11-yard line, I believe.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And a few dink and dunk passes later, they got
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: down the field, got to the sideline and stopped the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: clocking off.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: And there was one play.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: There were about, before the play started, there were about
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: 26 seconds left, I believe.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: And then it was.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Like an eight-yard out route down the right side to,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I think it was Cash Lucius. It was either Cash
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Lucius or it was Camp Sharp. And they got the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: first down to get it down to about the 40-yard line.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And right after he went out of bounds, the clock
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: still ticked for about two and a half, three seconds.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: And I was like, eh, that's... I don't know. We
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: need to be a little bit more on top of that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not trying to, like, I'm not going
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to say there was any malicious intent.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I hope there wasn't.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I would assume there was not.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Still got to kind of be more on top of that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: But anyway, so the Smets still had a timeout left,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: and they had to get to the Carter-Ritter 20-yard line
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: was their goal to get in field goal range. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: they had about almost 30 yards to go, and they
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: had about 25 seconds in a timeout.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, you kind of.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Got to, execute well in these next two plays to
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: get it down there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: And they did.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: They had one quick incompletion, but the next two plays
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: they got down there. So with 5.8 seconds left, they
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: got the 23-yard line. They still had their timeout somehow,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: but they just started to kick the field goal and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: not risk anything. And Timmy Recker drilled it. He absolutely
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: drilled it. And it's funny because there was those. 8
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: seconds left, which goes down to zero by a rule. Um,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: if those three seconds didn't tick off earlier, then, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: an ensuing kickoff would have been required to take place.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So that, uh.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: There's still a small window of taking advantage, you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: for Ritter if they would have made a miraculous comeback
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: at that point.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which they absolutely could have. I mean, because they
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: had a kickoff and a touchdown earlier in the game,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: and they definitely have the speed to do so.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Um, but, yeah, that's why, hey, that's why you gotta
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: hope that, uh, The clock is accurate the whole time
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: because you never know what's going to happen. You never know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you know, again, I'm not accusing the Ritter clock operator
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: of any wrongdoing. It was tough because, you know, it was,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you know, tight game and a lot going on.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: But, you know, that was just a very interesting development
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: because you could hear the DeSmet crowd kind of yelling about, hey, like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: stop the clock.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Why is that?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: It's just time ticking off.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: But, you know, it was a good game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: The referees were good. The clock operator was fine the
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: whole game.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: It was good. I thought that one instance at the
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: end was kind of interesting. But, yeah, it was a
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: heck of a game. Super exciting, super back and forth.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Lots of underclassmen performing.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, because Chase Cooper is a junior.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Cash Lucius is a junior.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Chase Cooper had a lot of really good throws. A
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: lot of really good throws.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Cam Sharp is a junior.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Rocky Sharp had a really good picker turn.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Terrence Jones for Ritter is a sophomore. I mean, Rylan
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Moore is a sophomore. Ryan Richard McDavis is a junior.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Rylan Moore does not play like a sophomore. He plays
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: like a senior.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: The fact that he's a sophomore is very impressive.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And then, obviously, Ridge James, who's one of the higher
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: recruited players in the country, he's a junior, a tight
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: end for DeSmet.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Yeah, so a bunch of underclassmen.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: James had a couple bad drops, but where he shined
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: was his blocking.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: His blocking allowed... Cam Sharp to do what he did.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah. That's really cool.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll talk about the game I was at,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and that was East St. Louis defeating Gainesville from Georgia 24-21.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: East St. Louis, they are back in the....
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: They're back over. 500 at 2-1, and this is great.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, they went....
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Their three toughest games of the season start the season back-to-back-to-back,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and they go 2-1.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: That's huge.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Because you got a high-quality win over Mount Carmel then,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and a.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: A nail-biter.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: A nail-biter over Gainesville, and this was a.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Well, a nail-biter against American Heritage and Gainesville.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And this game started out kind of slow. Let's start
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: out with a bang because, uh, Kareem Hewley, who's on
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: his way to Clemson for Gainesville. Um, he, the first
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: play of the, yeah, I believe it was the first play,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: play the game, play action pass to, uh, Doyle Morrison
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: for a 68 yard touchdown, just like that. And that
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: was the, really the most prolific.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: They looked all game offensively.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: And, um, I mean, East St. Louis, they settled back in.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: They later responded with an Austin Wilkinson field goal. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: they give a lot of credit to Gainesville's defense because
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: their defense clutched up a lot when they needed to.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were the reason why this was a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: close game.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: They held East St.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Louis to more rushing attempts than rushing yards.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: That's incredible on Gainesville's end. I mean, I didn't realize
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: it was only 21 yards. And so, yeah, they just...
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: It was a very tough time for Eastside's run game
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: to get going.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And I know they don't have Myson Johnson Cook. He
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was there.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The game is obviously is a collarbones and a sling. Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But I mean, because he can just what he's really
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: good at is just carrying tacklers. And, you know, he
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: just pushing tacklers forward, getting extra yards while he's getting tackled.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So they didn't have that. But one guy that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: You can't really say a star was born here, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you can tell he's got a ton of potential.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And that's Chris Jackson. He's a running back for East St.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Louis.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And he's a freshman.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: He's one of those freshmen that doesn't look like a freshman.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: He looked like a junior out there. Um, he's really quick.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He's shifty.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Um, he had some, he had some nice plays, uh,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: especially in that, that they're, um, that, uh, that, that
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: drive that ended up being in a field goal for
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: them too. He had some, uh, some couple of big
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: plays there. Uh, and then one of the biggest plays
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of the game is a safety where, uh, They had
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Gainesville back deep, and they blocked the punt to make
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: it 7-5, so they were still trailing, but then early
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in the second quarter, Reese Shanklin, 81-yard touchdown pass to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Ronnie Goldmiller. Just really simple, over-the-top pop pass. That was
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the easiest and smoothest East St.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Louis looked all game at any time offensively because it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: looked like... I mean, that's just what they do.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It's like they could struggle against these really good teams,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: but then all of a sudden just produce a moment
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: of Just.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Magic right there, and that's what it was.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And I've got to tell you right now, there's a
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: lot of great players, and I think Go Miller is
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: East St.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Louis' best player.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Because I didn't realize this when I saw them against
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Mount Carmel, but he's their long snapper.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Really? Good for him.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: For kicking.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: For kicking and punting.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he did a good job.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: That takes some skill.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: He did a good job. That's awesome.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: There was never a bad snap. Yeah, so he's doing that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's... Quickly making his case for Mr. Do-Everything.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he's on defense, though. Ah, yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But he could, obviously, but he's a receiver.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: In the return game?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: The return game, he had a nice punt return, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: then later in the second quarter, he caught a 25-yard
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass to make it 21-21. Yes, to make it 21-14.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And then Austin Wilkinson, by the way, highly regarded transfer
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: from Altoff Catholic. He kicked three field goals. He was
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: three for five. He missed two of them. One of
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: them was a chip shot that I'm sure he would
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: love to have back.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But the other one was like a 46-yard. It was
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a longer field goal, and he missed it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: But he did boot a 45-yard field goal in the
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, which was ultimately the difference in the game.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: That's what made it 21-14. Gainesville, they came back. Kareem Hewley,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: he was definitely Gainesville's best player because, I mean, he
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: kept so many plays alive in the pockets. He had
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a touchdown run in the second quarter. Then he rushed
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: for a 24-yard rushing touchdown. And then he had an
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: unbelievable throw, which kept the game alive briefly in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: last minute of the game where he was, like, just
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: under pressure, had to turn around, just like threw up
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a prayer, and then it was caught by one of
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Gainesville's receivers. And just going into that last drive, Gainesville,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: they were– they easily could have been in field goal
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: range if their receiver, he dropped a pass that he
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: should have caught. He got behind the secondary. If he
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: caught it, I think the ball would have been at
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: East St. Louis' 30-yard line with probably like 30– like 25,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: 30 seconds to play. They would have been very, they
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: were very close to being in field goal range at
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that point to tie the game. If not potentially win
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: the game right there. So that was East St. Louis
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: got a big break right there. Um, they did.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And this, as far as, and as good as their
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: defense was, cause their defense was amazing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: They definitely got a break right there by just, um,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you know, something out of their control that went their way.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And, um, No, but this was a total team effort
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: by East St. Louis here.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't do much on offense, but it
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: was enough. Their special teams was really good. Fantastic, actually.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And then their defense was a typical East St. Louis defense,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: which is being really good and limiting the opposition.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, this was, I think, a pretty satisfying win
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: for the Flyers as far as their ability to I think,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you know, win the game in all three phases, essentially.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, defense was back and forth. They definitely won
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the game in special teams and offensively.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: They did enough. And, uh, you know, it's one of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: these games that it takes, uh, it's got to take
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a full team effort to win. And that's what happened.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It was in front of a good crowd too. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: by the way, could not find little Wayne. He was,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: his son, his son was playing.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find him.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: That's unfortunate.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: That's great to hear though. I mean, congrats to St.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Louis. We'd love it when, um, the East side shows
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: out and beats the out of area teams. Um, Yeah, again,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: you said with that three-game gauntlet to start the year,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, shoot, if you would have said that, you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you've seen Lewis, obviously they don't want to be out
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: with their best player, my son Johnson Cook, but to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: come out of this 2-1 and that one loss being
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: an overtime loss on the road to arguably a top-10
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: team in the country, I'm sure they would take that,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: even if he was still playing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure they would.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Obviously they're not satisfied, I'm sure, with 2-1, but I
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: think they can look back and be happy where they
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: are ultimately.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, just looking at the next few weeks, we're
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: not going to be as in-depth with our East St.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Louis coverage because they get into their Southwest Conference slate,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: which they should just run through, honestly. I mean, the
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: talent gap is pretty ridiculous. We'll talk about them briefly,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: just not as in-depth as we have the past few weeks.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And then they play.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Naperville North to end the year?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really random game. They should be fine in that one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, I know Naperville, Illinois. I've
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: just never heard of Naperville North High School. I don't
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: know if that's any good or not.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I think they're all right, but the St. Louis should
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: beat them pretty, I think, convincingly.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: The next super exciting game we had, Hannibal defeats Eureka 29-28.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: And the tables turn on the Wildcats where they won
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: last week by stopping a two-point conversion in overtime. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: this week they lose by getting a two-point conversion scored
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: on them at the end of the game.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and under a minute to play.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Gosh, this is, first of all, what a second half
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: by Hannibal to just, trailing 21-7 at the end of
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the first quarter you know just following the scores in
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: this game just looked like like wow this this is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: just this is how Eureka is going to be I
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: mean they're scoring they're putting up points and they're going
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to be a really tough team and they still are
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: a tough team but yeah Hannibal must have figured something
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: out after the first quarter because they really clamped down
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: on Eureka um for the rest of the game uh
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: pretty much uh Eureka did all right. I mean, they
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: gained over 300 yards of total offense. It wasn't like
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: 500 like last week. Yeah, I mean, they're kind of
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: spreading the wealth at running back like they were doing
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a week ago, which is all right. They're averaging five
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: yards a carry. And we're going to have this game
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: uploaded as we record on Saturday.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Later in the afternoon, so we'll have that out.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I guess they just didn't have a whole lot of
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: big plays in this game, and just Hannibal just.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And Hannibal's got a pretty good defense, too.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, that also says, like, this Eureka offense
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: is still pretty good. I mean, to put up 29
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: over Hannibal is definitely not bad.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Elias did that pretty easily last week.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's true.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And Elias, it seems like a pretty good Elias team
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: since they won again.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They're 2-8. But, yeah, the biggest sequence of the game.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: So, Salgini, you know, a 46-yard pass from Zach Kemp
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: to Salgini, you know, put Eureka up 28-21, 7-15 to play.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: And Eureka has the ball with under two minutes to play.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: So they're just trying to run the clock out. I mean,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I would assume they were trying to get a first down.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: But Hannibal forces a fumble around like the 30-yard line
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: or so.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: In Eureka territory, they recover.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: They get a big run from their QB keeper, from
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: their quarterback, and get inside the five-yard line.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Then they punch it in.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: And then on two-point conversion under center, they hand it
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: off with like two fullbacks in. trying to create a
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: lane and they get, it was actually, and they, they scored.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It was kind of with not much struggle on that
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: two point conversion. So Eureka still have, that's with 15
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: seconds to play. So yeah, Eureka still had some time.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: They would have, they completed a pass to midfield, but
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: then their receiver fumbled it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: It was a forced fumble.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And so Eureka had a sliver of hope right there,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: but then Hannibal forced another fumble and that was the game.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: So just a, man, a brutal loss for Eureka. It
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just feels like every year.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: They have one of these games where it's just, for
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: whatever reason, it's just like heartbreaking loss.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: It's against a good team and it's a game they
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: should win, but turnovers at a brutal time.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a brutal time happened in the past.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: It's a, it's a game I, cause I knew Hannibal
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: could win this game and I wasn't, I wouldn't have
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: been shocked if he told me beforehand Hannibal would win,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: but just given the context of the game and, where
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Eureka had them, yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: game they should have won. Um, just given the context
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: of the position of where they were in, in that game. So,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you know, having the ball up seven under two minutes
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to play, you know, you expect Eureka to close that
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: one out and they're usually good at doing that, but, uh, just, uh, yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: unfortunate things happen.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And, uh, that's it.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Next up, go, we go to, I would say the
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: most heartbreaking game of the weekend is CBC defeats SLU high.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: If you're a SLU fan, it's heartbreaking.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: 27-17.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: If you're a SLU fan, it's heartbreaking.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, there was a second where I thought that
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: SLU would break the streak.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So did I. It was when they went up.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: They were up 17-7 in the third quarter.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: There's a big scooping score in the third quarter. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: CBC just finds a way to fight back thanks to... So,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Daylon Austin, Harvey Heroics. And, yeah, the streak continues. I mean,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: it was a decent game for Slew.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: It really was. I mean, I think Patrick Ramell had
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: a solid game at QB.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: He was 13 of 18. 159 yards. Didn't do anything
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: too crazy. He had 29 rushing yards.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: But, offensively, they just couldn't get anything done in the
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: They couldn't sustain drives, which is going to be killer.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: If you can't sustain drives and control the clock when
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: you're trying to hold the lead, then... That's going to
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: be tough to hold. And CBC, they didn't do anything
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: crazy offensively. I mean, honestly, it's an interesting kind of
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: evolution of these two teams because last year CBC's offense
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: was just unreal. And then last year, Sluha's defense was unreal.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Until they played CBC.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Well, last year, I mean, CBC's defense just got stuck
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: on the field way too long, and they just– they
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: were– bound to break, and they were bending for a while.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: They broke eventually. But while he didn't rack up a
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: super high amount when it comes to passing yards, Dale
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Austin Harvey was 11 for 13 for 123 yards and
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: one touchdown, so very efficient for him.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: No turnovers.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no turnovers, which is huge, especially when trying to
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: come back.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, outside of that one fumble recovery for
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Slough High, I don't know of any.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Other turnovers for CBC, but.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so congrats to the cadets for coming back to.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Win this game. Two fumble recovers, actually, for Slough.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, yeah. Yeah, so.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Quincy Jones and Sam Eust.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, with 9.43 left in the game, left
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter, I mean, it was five minutes
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: to go in the third quarter, Slough had a 10-point lead. But, yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, Dale and Austin Harvey, he had two touchdown runs.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: One of them was a 50-yarder early in the game
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: in the first quarter. And it was just ultimately CBC
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: doing CBC things.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And they just found a way to win. And it's.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Rare to see them kind of do that against teams
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: in close games, especially at home, because usually they just
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: blow teams out. But I think we saw some pretty
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: good maturity for a young CBC team, or at least
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a team with a lot of inexperience at this point
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: in time, just given with all the new starters that
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: they have, and so that was actually a really mature
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: way to win the game, I think, and just to
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: close a game out against a pretty tough opponent in SLU,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: who's obviously, you know, hell-bent on trying to end that
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: long losing streak they've had against CBC, so, yeah, that was,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: the cadets certainly clutched up.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen, I have not seen the highlights of
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: this game, but I could just imagine that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Highlights are out now, by the way. Okay, perfect.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I could just imagine, SLU High had two sacks, but
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I would think that CBC's O-line just clutched up at
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the end here because, you know, given how efficient, I mean,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: because it wasn't just Austin Harvey. It was also Franklin
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: McGinty who got some throwing attempts in.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And by the way.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: It was also pretty efficient. So I would think.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: That, you know.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Well, Slough's defense was, or offense I should say, I mean,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: they did not do a whole lot like just scoring wise.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, their only score was a Pat Stein five-yard
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: run and then. Jackson Sieber had kicked a field goal
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: and then their, um, obviously their other score was the 98.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Yard fumble recovery.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, CBC's defense was pretty, what was really
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: good to, uh, you know, on Friday. So that was,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and this is, I kind of expected that just because slew,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: they got a lot of young players on their team,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: especially on offense. So I figured it would, they would
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: have some trouble against CBC doing that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: But, um, yeah, it was, uh, it was a really
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: well played game, high quality game.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: And, uh, I'd like to see more close games like
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: this between CBC and SLU. And then for sentimental reasons,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: you just like to see CBC, you would like to
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: see SLU one, win.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: One of these, you know, I'm not going to outright
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: root for one of these teams over the other. I
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: just want to see good games. That's what I want.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: That's what I want to see.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Um, right. Yes.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: But yeah, so congrats to CBC for winning. Um, SLU high,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: keep your heads up, fought hard, just got to improve
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: week by week. Um, This is a game that we
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: didn't have a camera at, but somewhat of a surprising result,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, at least. Cahokia defeated Mount Zion 20-7.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think that was a surprise, me personally.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I think, I mean, I did not think they would.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, Cahokia does have a very talented defense, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: holding Mount Zion to seven points is very impressive. I
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: did not expect that.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, I was wrong. So, Mount Zion,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: they do have a D1 prospect in it. I forget
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: his name, but he's committed to Illinois. Yeah, as a
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: wide receiver. So, and that's a good point. I mean,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that's been a good passing offense that they've had for, like,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the last.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Three, four seasons.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, so for Cahokia to really lock them down,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: that's a statement for their defense. Now their offense, I mean,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: they still got to get going.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: They're okay, yeah. I mean, their offense did not crack
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: 300 total yards.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because the rushing attack led by Cameron Dowell
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: looks solid.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: But through the air, they just can't quite get anything going.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Which is interesting because they returned all their receivers last year,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: and they were really good.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: And, you know, like, Nigel Gooden's stat line is not bad. Like,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: he was 14-21, 111 yards, one touchdown, one interception.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: That's not bad.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: But that's just, I mean, just given the number of
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: completions and attempts and yards, I would think that that's
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of screen passes.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: A lot. And they're just trying to get their guys
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: in space, which is understandable. I understand the strategy there.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It worked well enough to win the game, so I
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: respect it. Whatever it takes to win, that's what you've
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: got to do. But I wonder if they're just not
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: pushing the throws down the field as much because last
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: year they were very happy to just catch teams and
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: cover two and run a post over the middle and
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: just drop over.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: The linebackers and get a free 35 yards.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Right. So I wonder if they're just doing less of
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: that or if they're just going to try. They just
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: can't convert. I'm not really sure what's going on. But
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking, you know, just to come back and win
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: this game after losing last week is huge for them.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: And they're going to play a fun one, I think.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: It's going to be against St. Mary's this week.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: So that should be a good launch. Yeah, we've got
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to look into getting a camera for that one.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be– that's probably a top five game of
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the week.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Right there. So, yeah, good for– I mean, Kogia, they
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: just– at the end of the day, they took care
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of business.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll just go down the line here. A
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Thursday game that you were at, Ladue.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Run up the score on Vianney.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: They got 50-plus on the Griffins.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of unheard of for Ladue to score
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: 50 these days, but it's a new era, and this
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: was the most complete Ladue game I think they've played
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in several years, to be honest with you, especially against,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I think, definitely not bad Vianney team, and I think
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: by the end of the season we'll be approved. decent
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Vianney team because they're they're Vianney's really young and they
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: got some pretty good prospects on their team like I
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: was really impressed with Harlan Futrell who's their freshman quarterback
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: he was 16-34 for 263 yards with three touchdowns and
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: one interception, and then he ran for 64 yards, including
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: a rushing touchdown late in the game, admittedly, against kind
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of a half-JV, half-Var City-led defense at that point in time. But, no,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got weapons. Callie Thomas had 176 receiving yards,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: and then Noah Williams, who's committed to Missouri State, he
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: had 63 receiving yards with a touchdown pass.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Reception, and he also had an interception in the game, too.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: That was the only bad pass Emmitt McIntosh threw for
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Ledoux because he finished with four passing touchdowns. I'm pretty
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: sure he had over 200 passing yards that Ledoux just
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: does not have their stats in because he had multiple
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: big pass plays and then a few other screen passes
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: that went for long yards as well, so all of
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: his touchdown passes were to four different receivers, and And Roman,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: all those receivers.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Looked like they could be number two or number one receivers.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: It was... Like, Ledoux is... They have a lot of
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: talent on their offense.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And then their running game, like Cody Anderson and Marco Tipton,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: they both had rushing touchdowns. And I'm pretty sure, again,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: that they don't have their stats, but I'm pretty confident
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: both of them had over 50 yards rushing. And if
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: not 60, I just wish they had their stats, and
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I don't have them.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: But... And then.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, that was just a complete– in fact, actually,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Ledoux had, I think, an eight-drive scoring streak that was
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: finally halted when McIntosh threw that interception, like going back
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to the MICDS game starting from the second half. And, yeah,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: like you said, Ledoux's offensive line, they are big, but
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: they're definitely physical, and they just– their blocking seams are
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: really good and they block well. Then their running backs
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: have a really good understanding of like knowing where the,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: like the lines going, where the holes are opening up
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: and when to bounce it outside instead of, uh, you know,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: turning it up inside. And, um, yeah, just, and then
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I think another big takeaway for Ladoo is that I
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: think they may have had maybe two penalties all game offensively.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: That was a big problem for them against semi CDS.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And so that just means if they're not, if they're
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: not hurting themselves with any like pre snap penalties or holding, then,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: they're really tough to beat. And I think, I mean,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: they honestly surprised me, which I know for some people
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: might seem like a shock because there's, there's people who
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: think that I think we'll do like, he's going.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: To win state every year, which is the complete opposite usually.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but yeah, so.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: That was, it was 31, it was 38, seven at
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: one point in the game for the Rams. Second game
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: of the row, they had a kickoff return and I
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: don't know if anybody's got a kick, kick to Evan
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Vai and Trevor Walker again for the rest of the season.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: From a bias perspective, I hope they try, but from
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: a coaching perspective, it probably isn't wise to do that
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: at this point in time.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: They have to take the Mike Leach strategy, just squib-kick.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: It to a fat guy.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Vianney did that, and the only time they
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: did kick it off was to Walker to start the
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: second half, and they scored, and.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I could even see... I saw Chris Starkey, who, by
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the way, he's doing.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: A fantastic job this season. Again, I like this Vianney team.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I could see him just... his head just sank. Like,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: when the ball, just like when Walker received it, it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: like a normal kickoff, and he's like, oh, God. And
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: he was right to do that because they scored.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. Ledoux's an entertaining team. They're really athletic, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: their defense... Okay, so, Robert Etherton, is that Etherton, by
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the way? Okay, that guy is a really good running back.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: And he was a thorn in Ledoux's side, but one
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: thing that I think Ledoux's should be applauded for is
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: that they limited him to mainly just like five yards
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: to carry. Like maybe, I think he had two runs
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: where that were over 10 yards, but no big runs
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: like he had against Lindbergh. And then in the first half,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: like when, when it mattered, the news defense, it was
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: really good. It was Ben don't break. And they only
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: broke one time and that was on the third play
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: of the game. And, uh, so I think they just,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: for their defense, they just got to stay more disciplined
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: throughout the game because obviously they, they let up some
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: points in the second half and, uh, didn't quite get to,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: you know, running clock Vianney when they could have if
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: they'd gotten one more stop and they probably would have scored. But, yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: this is a very good Leduc team. I think they're
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: definitely– I had a little bit of reservations on them
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: against MICDS a week ago, but ever since the beginning
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: of that second half against them, they are a load
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: and they're going to be– they are definitely a really
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: good Class 5 team, one of the better ones in
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: the state and a force to be reckoned with.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: All right, next game. I want to talk about this
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: one briefly.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Blair Oaks comes into town and defeats Luther North 49-35.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Luther North was up 20. This is a crazy game.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Luther North was up 20-14 in the halftime. And then
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: they kind of go back and forth a bit in
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: the third quarter. And then Blair Oaks gets an 82-yard
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: kickoff return for a touchdown to take the lead. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: then they score again. And then again in the.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Fourth quarter they score. And so Luther North.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: They are down by 14, and they get the ball back,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: and Jonathan Moore scrambles away for a 45-yard touchdown with
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: about five and a half minutes left, or six minutes
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: left in the fourth quarter. He had four touchdowns in
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the game, incredible game for him, one of the best
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: athletes in the area, and so they're down by a
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: touchdown now, and they force a really quick stop from
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Blair Oaks, so they've They get the ball back with
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: about four minutes left. Then they throw a pick six.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: So tough, tough way to go out. I've not seen
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: the highlights. It seems like it was more of just
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: a few really bad plays that Luther North had rather
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: than just they got consistently beat. And I would also
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: assume that Blair Oaks would have just figured stuff out
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: on offense, because last week Blair Oaks just didn't really
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: have an offense.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got to apologize, too. Like I said, I
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: wasn't impressed with Blair Oaks, how they looked like.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Well, they scored seven points last week against Maryville, so
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: that's not very impressive. But at the same time, it's
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Blair Oaks, so we've got to trust.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: You know, how I've kind of put my undying faith
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: in Coach Pingel at CBC to do the job, whatever
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: he has talent-wise, you have to do the same.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Um, you know, at Blair Oaks, what they've been able
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to do over all these years with, with coach LePage there. And, uh, yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: And he's, uh, he's a genius head coach and, you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: him and obviously he's got a great staff. Um, so,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: you know, a great head coach, there's no such thing
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: as a really good head coach and then a poor
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: coaching staff around him. They go hand in hand. Um, but, uh, no,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: he's a terrific offensive minded guy. And, uh, They made
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: some incredible adjustments, clearly, from a week ago to now.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: To beat a Lutheran North team is probably better than Maryville.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Talent-wise, yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Talent-wise, yes. I mean, team-wise, I'd probably not qualify to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: See, well, and this is funny because this is why
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: you can't really just look at game deficits and then
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: extrapolate everything from that because Blair Oaks beat Lutheran North
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: by 14, but Cardinal Ritter.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Only beat Lutheran North by 12.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: But you can't call Blair Oaks better than Cardinal Ritter.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think anyone's saying that.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: But I'm just saying some people want to think that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: This is not a knock on Luther North, Ritter, or
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Blair Oaks. I'm just saying that matchups are weird. Certain
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: teams match up against others in different ways. Luther North,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: they actually go up to Chicago this next week, and
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: they go to Lincoln Way Central.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: So it's going to be quite the drive.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Hopefully they can recover well and get a win up there.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Fortunately for them, Lincoln Way Central, they don't have to
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: go through the city. It's kind of on the southern
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: part of once you get into Chicagoland and the metro area.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: So it won't be the worst drive ever.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: That's good. All right, next up, really fun one here.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: St.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Mary's defeats Festus. by two points, final score was 18-16,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I believe. Unfortunately, both teams... 14-12, sorry, 14-12. St.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Mary's, they were missing Kingston Miles, and then in the
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: third quarter, Parker Perry broke his collarbone, apparently.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Or at least it's a bad injury, so... Yeah, that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: just sucks when, like, the two most influential players on
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: both teams have injuries, and.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was– it was just kind of marred.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: The game was kind of marred by that. But, no,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, kudos to the St.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Marys.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, they were able to piece together enough to
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: just get out of there with a victory. And that's–
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I think both– that was just it. Both teams were
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: just trying to survive. And, yeah, so St. Marys, they
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: don't get the start 0-2. I mean, they got a
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: really tough schedule the rest of the way here. I mean,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: they– it's no rest for the wicked. I mean, they
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: have Cahokia coming up.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: They're at Jackson. I don't know anything about Hayden Catholic
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: from Kansas, but then.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I think Max perhaps has them as a top ten
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Kansas team.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, but then Live for Life and then DeSmet
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: and Rockbridge.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: That is a gauntlet.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: An absolute gauntlet.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yes. And who knows how long Kingston Miles is out, too.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: And you feel for Festus, too, because any time you
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: lose your quarterback, especially for a spread offense that they have.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I mean that's going to be.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Really detrimental I mean they're off to an 0-2 start
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I mean to be fair I mean these were two
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: tough opponents they were playing to start out but I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: think they yeah I mean they easily could have gone
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I mean look at that I mean combined six points
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: in those losses yeah so um Hopefully they have a
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: good backup quarterback. They got Hannibal later on, and I
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: think they'll be okay. They got Hillsborough in Week 5.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Hillsborough was out to a 2-0 start. Not to talk
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: about them, but they beat Hayeswood East 28-0.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I saw that. Hayeswood East, they're off to an 0-2 start.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I did not expect that from them.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of unexpected outcomes, far and away the most
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: shocking outcome that I saw this weekend was The Warriors
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Valley Catholic defeated Rockwood Summit 42-7.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Funnily enough, as soon as I saw that score on
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: my phone at East St.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Louis, I'm on Gainesville's side of the field. There's these
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: two or three kids from Summit.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Who just happened to be walking behind me and said, hey,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: did you see the Summit score?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was 42-0 at halftime. That's insane.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: You got.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: But this has got to say a lot about Valley
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Catholic for how good they are.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: They are a tiny school.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: I believe they have 40 kids in each grade. They
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: don't even have a soccer team because they don't have
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: enough people for it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: They have enough people, but it's just all football for them.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I think they choose not to have a soccer
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: team so that they can have more guys on the
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: football team.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yes. Which is smart. It's like that in many,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: many small towns. That's smart.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: And it's paying off, clearly. I mean, it's... whatever talent
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: they got down there in San Genevieve has to be
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: legit because it's not that big of a town, but
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: from what I've heard, they are just extremely physical. They
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: execute their plays very well and they just hold their
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: blocks very well.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: So that was just very, very impressive.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: I'm still shocked because like, I mean, we are all
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: like in the off season and it wasn't just me. Like,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: you know, other coaches were telling me, you know, how
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: good someone's defense is. And I still think they have
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: talent there, but like, and they're, first two games they've
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: given up.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: 34 and 42 points. Yeah.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: So it's like something, something's not quite working out right now.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, they, you know, obviously got to figure it out,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: but they're still one-on-one. They got Hazel central coming up.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: So that should be a good get back game for them.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: And then, and then they're into the, yeah, then they
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: got Eureka Lindbergh Lafayette coming up and it's a, they.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Got a tough schedule. They finished with Kirkwood and Marquette
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: as well. So. Kirkwood, by the way, had their annual
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: bye week in week two. It's interesting.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It's rare to see a team who plays eight games.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Would it be best to have a bye week in
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: week five or something?
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it is, but I just think it depends.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: It depends on when they're making a schedule, who's available
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: each week. Kirkwood usually looks for the best players. public schools,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: they can play. So if that happens to mean a
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: week two by a week, then it is what it is.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Another crazy result from this week, Suckman defeats North Point 71-35.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Suckman had 50 points by halftime. They scored 29 points
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: in the second quarter. I mean, this stat sheet is crazy.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: They had.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: And they didn't even have Brady Cube.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: They didn't even have Cube, but they had 435 rushing yards.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: They averaged over 10 yards per carry. They had.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Five guys average 12 or more yards per carry.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Trey Conner had 10 carries for 147 yards.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Jackson Jablonski, 13 carries, 177 yards, which included a 61-yard
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: rushing touchdown. He also had a 72-yard receiving touchdown. Big
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: play after big play for the Jaguars, and... I did
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: not expect this team to have this explosive of an offense. Again,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: North Point's defense is being a little bit more disappointing
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: than I thought they would be. But there's a lot
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: more explosive speed out there than I thought. And just
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: to have a running game like that shows a lot
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: for their offensive line, just having their way with the Grizzlies.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, the second one also had five sacks. So
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: even though they did allow a decent amount of points,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: This is a game they will definitely remember for a
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: This may be the first time this has ever happened
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: in the history of football and back-to-back games. North Point
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: scores 21 points in the second quarter and lost both games.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: That is very interesting.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: That is a... For those John Boy Media listeners, I'm
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: not one of them.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: This is.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I know of him. Stats that exist but do not matter.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: That's what it says. Yes.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Very much so. Yeah.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Congrats to the Jaguars on... A huge win there.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: They are 2-0. Hey, what is one of the.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: It's one of those overused sayings.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: What's one of the sayings we have on this show?
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Don't sleep on Seckman. Don't do it.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Don't snooze on the Jaguars.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: And they've got a couple of interesting games coming up
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: against Lindbergh and Padville, so we'll see how those play out.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: I think they should win that Lindbergh game. The Padville game,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: they could.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: I think they could get Padville in a.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Lot of trouble.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: If Padville takes care of business against Lafayette, which is
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: not a guarantee, Lafayette's a solid team. But if we
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: get a 3-0 segment going into a 3-0 Patentville, that
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: could be very interesting.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Very, very interesting.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Those teams have played in some interesting games a couple
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: times over the last five years.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Well, speaking of Lafayette, might as well get to them
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: real quick.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: They defeated Liberty 27-20.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, close one there.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Second straight win by seven points over a Wentzville School
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: District school.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: That's kind of funny.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Lafayette was never down in the game. It was
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: 0-0 at the end of the first quarter, and then
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: it was 14-7 Lancers at halftime. Lafayette doesn't have their
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: stats in, but it looks like Jesse Schilly has taken.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Over at QB there.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Interesting. He had three passing touchdowns.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: So I guess they, I don't know.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's from St. Genevieve.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: I guess Cody Keene is back at running back because
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: he was at QB last week, right?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: I believe so. I'm going to double check.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to last week's stats.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so– well, they didn't really throw the ball at
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: all last week. So I guess it didn't really work
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: out with Keene and QB.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe– yeah, they were trying to– Well, it's
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: funny because Cody Keene's.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Stat line from week one was hilarious.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: He was 2 of 7 throwing the ball for four yards,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: but he had 34 carries for 278 yards.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: So I guess they're putting him back at running back.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Where he's always been.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, where he's always been in the Jesse Shilley QB,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: which looks like it's– more efficient for them.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: And Scheele's a natural quarterback as well. He's a transfer
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: from St.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Genevieve.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Keaton's an incredible athlete.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: He scored what ended up being the game-winning touchdown this
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: week in the fourth quarter. They had a decent running game.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Caleb Orcutt had 16 carries for 133 yards. They just
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: couldn't get.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Their passing attack going. As a team, Liberty was 8
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: for 18 for 72 yards throwing the ball.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Not very good.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: So the Lafayette defense really locking down when they needed to. But, yeah,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: just another close one for Lafayette, and they continue to
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: get the win column.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Pattonville beat Hazelwood West 43-0. We had a camera there,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: and we have the highlights. So if you're a Pattonville fan,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Highland and Muscoota played a thriller.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not the first time they've been. I mean,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: I remember– Four years ago now where Mascuta had that
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: all-time great win over Highland, upsetting them in the second
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: round after losing 50-0 to them previously. This time, Highland
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: comes out on top, 56-52.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the Carter Harris and Jax Oren
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: legacy game for Highland. Carter Harris had 23 carries for
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: 278 yards.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Both are juniors, by the way.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Yep. Harris also has... Four touchdowns, yeah, four touchdowns. And
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: then Jax Oren, 23 of 38 for 353 yards passing,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: three touchdowns. Yeah, and let's see, one, two, three, four, five,
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: six different Highland Bulldogs had multiple catches this game. So
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: a lot of depth on the outside for them. And
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: this is insane. So, yeah, so Highland had 300, no,
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: excuse me, 659 total yards of offense. had 656 yards
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: of total offense. So just an unbelievable... 1,300 yards of
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: total offense.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: 1,300 yards, and that's... Shoot. That's... I'm doing the math
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: That is three-quarters of a mile of offense combined between
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: these two teams. I mean, Mascuda's offense did amazing as well.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jack Hilgendorfer, Only 12 completions on 14 attempts.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: 262 yards.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I think he's a junior as well.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: That's like 13 yards per. No, hold up. So 262.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: I'm getting my calculator out. 262 divided by 14. That's 18.7
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: yards per attempt. That is unbelievably high. And then Sean Murphy,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: 18 carries for 179 yards. Defense was optional in this one,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: but this is one of those games where it was
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: just whoever had the ball last was going to win
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: and it happened to be Highland. And of course, it
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: was a Jax Oren to Carter Harris touchdown pass with
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: 21 seconds left to win the game. Just an all-timer.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've got to find a way to I
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: don't know, you know, they don't have Mission.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: TV, because that's an Illinois game, but.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: I would love to find a link to the highlights
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: of this one, because this must have been just.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of NFHS stuff... Oh, yeah. there, and... Ah,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: the game was Atmoscooter, right? Uh, yes.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, so, well, I know Highland has, like, a production, like,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: they do some broadcasts. I don't know if they go
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: to the away.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Games, but.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's definitely stuff there, and hopefully, like,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: you can just go on Huddle and watch it. Yeah,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: but yeah, Hilgendorf, he's a junior, and he had a
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: really good game. Probably his best game he's had in
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: his career. Oh, for sure, yeah. But I'm excited for Muscuda, though.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've come out looking pretty good so far.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, their offense has been fantastic. I mean, they've
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: been averaging, like, yeah, 52.5 points a game so far
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: in two games. Yeah, they've got Belleville West coming up, Triad, Collinsville,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Alton Granite, City of Belleville East, so I think I mean,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: they should get into the playoffs anyway, but if this
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: was a typical year, like before this year, I think
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: this is a.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Solid playoff team. I want to talk about Triad real quick.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're out to a 3-0 start, and they
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: look really good. In fact, I'll give you guys this
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: right now. They will be ranked 10th in large schools.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Yes. I know Lafayette's 2-0, but....
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I think Triad beating Highland and Washington is a decent team.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Sycamore is a decent team, too. So I'll give it
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: to the Knights for now.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Brody Haskwin has been really good for
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: QB for them.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: Not that many.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: It's funny because Triad's offense, I mean, it's solid, but
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: it's really their defense that, you know, should get their credit.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, holding Washington 21 points is really good. I mean,
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: we just described how high-flying Highland's offense is. They held
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: them to 27. And then holding Sycamore to seven points
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: is also pretty good. So, yeah, try it off to
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: a really great start.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, absolutely.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: A game that, as we record this, just finished up.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: McClure North defeats McClure 12-0. So McClure North out to
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: a 2-0 start.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: I thought that would be worth mentioning.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: 12-0.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: They might have called it early due to the heat.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not exactly sure.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because that game started at 11.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: It's scorching hot. Yeah, so I'm not sure, but either way.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: That's big, though, because, I mean, they don't collect all
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: their district points then.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they would have won by 13... I mean.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: I know I'm literally arguing over the smallest of details
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: right here, but to get all the district points possible
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: that you can attain, you need to win by 13 points.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: And so that could potentially come down to... You know,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: something right there.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can tell you right now, McClure North
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: is going to be behind Wadoo in the district standings
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: now because of that.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, I think McClure North, I mean, they've got
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: some good athletes. Cortez Braselman, he's a defensive back and
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: a running back. He's really good. Ramon Brown at QB,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: he's pretty good too. And they've got a very manageable schedule.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: They've got Normandy, which is a game. I mean, Normandy's
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: looking better also. Did they win last night? they're played today.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Against Riverview, actually.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's... So, we don't have a final score on
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: that one yet, but we'll find out hopefully soon. It
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: seems like.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I like where this team's going because they seem like
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: a rejuvenated program now.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, that should be an interesting game between McClure
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: North and Normandy, but....
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: So, congrats to the Stars for winning that one. A
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: little district rivalry game. Yeah.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to find other.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Belleville East and the Battle of Belleville between Altaf. Crushed Altaf.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Yes. 54-14. So, that's... I know I've been a little
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: harsh to Belize, but that's more like it right there.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a game that you can kind of
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: get your season back on course. And, man, I mean,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: these next, like yesterday and then this game coming up
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: against Edwardsville could really turn their fortunes around. Because that's, man,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: they've had a hard time against Edwardsville.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: And we'll preview this game later. But, yeah, so they
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: could really bounce back with these, like, Two wins over
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: two of their bigger rivals.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: One more game that I wanted to sneak through. Westminster.
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: Actually, two more games.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Westminster defeated Wright City 34-7. Not too much was being
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: said about Westminster.
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: In the offseason.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: They haven't really been too prestigious a program as of recently,
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: but they're off.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: To a really good start. Charlie Beckermeyer.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: He's a good quarterback, by the way.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: He's solid enough, but their defense is looking really good. Really,
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: really good.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: Really, really physical with their front seven, making good reads.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: Brody Froelich got an interception yesterday.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: So, yeah. And then, the other game I want to mention, St.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: Charles West, they're also off to a 2-0 start. They
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: had a very nice, close win against Cape Central, 20-17.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: It feels like the.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Mid-20 teens again.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: It's like, Ledoux's 2-0, Westminster's 2-0, St.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Charles West's 2-0.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: It's like, these are some good programs back from 10
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah, that's great.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Any other games you want to mention? I was looking
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: at the scoreboard trying to.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about Francis Howell, the.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: Zoom on North? Yeah, that wasn't even close. Francis Howell, North,
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: it was a Thursday game. They just whipped up on
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: the Panthers. 48-20 was the final score on this one,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Correct. Good bounce back win from Howell. I mean... Yeah. Man, like.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Zoom on North rushing attack was there.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had... 317 rushing yards and six yards
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: per carry but defensively they just couldn't do anything yeah
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: i mean mostly because the defense couldn't stay off the
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: field because this is one north lost three fumbles um
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: and they just let damian donaldson and kyle bevel just
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: run all run all over the.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Place yeah i mean that that's like where um.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not shocked that Zumont North had over 300 rushing yards,
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: which is good for their offense because that's what they
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: usually do to win games.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: Giving up 300 rushing yards.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't usually happen for them.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: No, I was pretty shocked by that. Yeah.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: Unfortunate for the Panthers, and they're off to an 0-2
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: start for the first time since... 2021.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rough for them. I was thinking about that
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: last night, yeah.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Very, very rough.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: They ended up kind of salvaging that season somewhat because
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: they still won the conference championship and they did get
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: to a district championship game. But, yeah, so definitely a
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: different kind of team right there. Troy won. They beat
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: O'Fallon 21-0. It's their 1-1. Chaminade's out to a 2-0 start.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: They crushed Poplar Bluff 50-14. I mean, they're showing progress
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: this year because, I mean, a year ago they struggled
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: to– I don't know if they, like, struggled mightily, but
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: against Poplar Bluff it ultimately beat them. But now their
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: schedule's going to get pretty tough from here on out.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got Slew and DeSmet coming up back-to-back weeks.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: St.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Dominic, that sounds like, I think Chaminade probably wins that,
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: but then they're at Vianney and then at.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: CBC, they lift for life in France's house. So they're,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what their record's.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Going to look like by that time, but I do
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: kind of expect them to be 2-2 by the time
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: they head into St. Dominic, though, since Slough, they looked
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: pretty good against CBC, even though they lost, and then
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: the Smet just knocked off lift for life and Carter Rare.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: So that speaks for itself right there. And then Marquette
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: with a Decent victory over St. Dominic 24-7. Again, Marquette
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: lost to Chaminade a week ago, but a good bounce-back
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: win over St.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Dominic right there. Northwest beat Fox 27-7.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Coen Stark had another decent game for them. Waterloo beat
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Columbia in a rivalry game, I believe 31-7, so Waterloo,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: they're I believe they're 2-1 now. Columbia's 1-2.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Breeze Central, they keep winning. They're 3-0.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, they crushed Civic Memorial 48-7. Edwardsville, they're out
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: to an 0-3 start, unfortunately, against Morgan Park. I mean,
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time Edwardsville started out 0-3.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, they still got East St. Louis, and then
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: big game against Belleville East because, man, normally, like, why
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: I don't like the new playoff system in Illinois because, like,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: this game right here would be, as it was last
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: year for Edwardsville, that was the game that saved their season.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: It was by beating Edwardsville, like, driving, like, 80 yards
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: and 50 seconds last year to beat them.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: But that'll be a pretty fun game, I think. So,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm all out.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Well, it was a fun week, too. Hopefully we can
• 58:34
