  [SPEAKER_00]: Please stay tuned for J. Stevens, then Austin Colby, then Michelle and I will be back to make our prediction.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: As we continue our preview of the sectional 27 championship game between the Western Panthers and the Twin Lakes Indians, we welcome Jay Stevens, the sports editor at the Cocomo Post.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk a little bit about the Western Panthers and Jay Western big win over West Lafayette in week one, then had to come be from behind and beat Frank D'Now host a very good Twin Lakes team that beat them.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: 22 to 15 at Twin Lakes a few weeks ago.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jay, you were there for the West Lafayette game.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tell us how the Western Panthers have been playing.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Playing very well.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Playing type of football you would expect from an often Colby let team very well and sink even though they had to lose a lost, not only the leading Russia and Nickertrick, but also a guy that was a force for them on defense and Levi Schumaker has stepped up.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a bigger piece of the pie with the offense.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: even use it some different formations right now to try to make sure that shoe maker is able to continue the ball control type of run set that also call me once.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the last lot for yet game show a lot of promise with a defense.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've got a big pvu late began by max Duke to kind of.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: force it forth down, which West Lafayette ended up throwing an ankle-fleet pass, Western got the ball back and around the clock, but Western is a team that when they're playing good ball, even with this new bunch with some diet moving around, they're going to be really hard to stop.
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: That said, Twin Lakes, of course, Kevin O'Shea is one of the, uh, one of the really outstanding coach and, uh, Twin Lakes has really, in his, believe this is his second year there, they've really just kept getting better in that off, that spread offense.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: that he run in our history of the but each year they've improved and you get better in that bread offense and they just have a lot of weapons.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean that I think what they do so well is spread you across the fields and we talked to Austin earlier and we talked about the importance of a past rush.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: Is that something you can foresee Western being able to do on a consistent basis?
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is get a decent past rush because if you give Dode time to throw, he will find an open receiver.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: consistent is a interesting word to use, because I believe they can get pressure, but doing it as often as you need to do as one, that I'm kind of so often in the air about.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even as we speak, leading into the conversation, I was kind of wondering what Western could do to kind of slow down this offense.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is to get pressure from the quarterback.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: is doing it consistently might be a little bit of an issue and I think that is something that Austin Colby is going to hammer down this week as he is going to do so well every single week hit the fundamentals after the game against West Lafayette.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: He said the word of the week was effort and they focused on blocking and tackling.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think this week, you're going to have to focus one of your main focuses is going to be getting threshold on the quarterback and you don't want to always have to blitz to do so.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, if you have to have to, but if you can not blitz and get pressed on the quarterback, that's going to allow the guys in the line backers in a secondary to be able to bat some of those balls down.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, though, that's unable to spread the ball out like you want to.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: They did do a pretty good job against the first time around.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if they can control that passing game,
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: their first-sectional championship since 2007's a real possibility.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then everything, a realistic possibility and I don't, I don't have a doubt that anybody in that program is going into that game thinking this is going to be their last.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really get everybody believes that after I went over West Lafayette and then getting a slight scare a week ago that they have to not only crank it up to be intense via a little bit, but also lean into what the potential of this team is.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: we've talked about a number of times on this show.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to always go back to a year ago at this late in the season, but the story of this team is they had a 13-game losing treat that went back to 2023 in this year, when I went in last year, and now they were talking on a sectional title.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so knowing the story, knowing off the Colby's coming, the western
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Having a system that players are familiar with and it's similar to Alex Stewart, but there's some arson some tweaks that I think fit what they want to do very, very well.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think this could be one of the stories that is one of the better stories around the state.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if there's anybody that went oh and nine of the regular season is still playing right now.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: But outside of that, if you look around the state, this is probably one of the best stories anybody could find from a year ago to now.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: The quick turnaround and the complete buy-in by all the players has been a lot of fun to watch.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: you have to.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I saw the game is just west off yet.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to came off on that we have to come up and come up to the sideline.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: All of them called me called a time out.
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they started doing snaps with a backup quarterback to kind of get his hands on the ball.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he could kind of get the field there because it really is no one else that could even.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was sure that you're playing.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have another lead back.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is your lead back.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is your quarterback.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is your offense.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are some other guys that will get the ball right
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, Brandon Walters among others, but she'll make her is the engine and makes us often go.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you have to keep it healthy.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, one thing I think that might be interesting is trying to see how much.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kobe leans on shoemaker to throw the ball.
• 10:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: He threw the ball 14 times, completed 90s pass in the first time these two teams net.
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we'll throw it that many times.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if he throws at five to seven, that's enough to keep the opposing defense honest that will allow him to have easier lanes to run through.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even if it's only a five yard gain,
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's all you need in this offense four or five yards.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Keep the ball moving down the field.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Keep the ball in your hands away from the opposing team.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's five instead of Mark for Shinmaker to fill the ball.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: That could be a wrinkle that could help co-o-o-co-mo.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hope wednesday, um, when the sexual title Friday night.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: And by that standard, I think it's really important for Western to stay ahead of the chains, so to speak.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think they want to have to be in a second and third and long, whereas I don't think twin legs does it because of maybe worry about the blitz, but they also have an offense that is can pick up those second and third and longs just by finding an open receiver and open space.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: You were 100% correct.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Staying above the change is needed.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: One thing you want this team, is that when they do give behind the change, it's a big struggle.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a huge struggle to try to get that momentum and you try to get that first down.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So staying above the change in front of the change is not just key for any team, but this type of offense getting behind and it's going from 1st and 10 to 2nd and 13.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't get a big gain on second down to make it third and four, maybe you're probably not going to pick up that third down.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're probably going to have to plot.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So thank you.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: How do the change is a major key for this offense?
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jay Steven sports center at the Cogama Post.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for joining us.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Either way, if it's Western or Twin Lakes, it's going to be a great story.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tell everybody how they can read your work.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we'll have some, I have an article coming out later this week of me picking the winners of the second of the title games between sectionals, wells, 27, and 36 afterdip ad numbers.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's so many.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those are right.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're trying to follow.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And those are correct.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And of course, Jail will be joining us on the other podcasts as well to preview the Cocomo and Eastern games.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for your time, Jay.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: We continue our preview of a sectional 27 championship game with Western head coach Austin Colby.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know your team probably hates being reminded of this as much as the media likes talking about it.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: From winless last year to within a game of a sectional championship coach, what right it's been this year your first year there?
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Definitely.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: From when I got there in January, it's been a total rebuild in terms of what they had going on there last year.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody bought it immediately.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: That made things a lot simpler when everyone's on the same page.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone's, that's been involved in the program this year.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: It has earned the right to play for this game.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm excited to have the opportunity to lead the guys in the battle this week.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we can get it down.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's really nice as a good football team, but you know, excited about the opportunity for sure.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: Um, touch what it, what adjustments have you and your staff looked at making from your earlier meeting with twin legs.
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we, we led for about 30 minutes of that game, actually probably even a little bit more.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: And, and we just got out playing it in the second half and the really the fourth quarter of the week nine game against turnlakes.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, I think, obviously, we showed last week if we don't come out and play with the effort and intensity that is needed to win a football game.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be in a battle no matter who we play and
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: After the frightened game on Saturday morning we came in and and rewatched the twin lace game from week nine Just to be reminded of that You know effort or lack thereof that we had when we played in the first game, and you know we we know Going to this game we we have
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, all the tools to get the job done, but if we just don't go out and play a clean football game and and focus on what we're supposed to do every single play, it's it's going to be tough for you know, we'll probably it could even fall short.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: So we got everybody's attention that we've had a great week of practice.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: We've we put in a few different adjustments defensively and and offensively a few new wrinkles, nothing out of the ordinary, that we just need to go play our football game.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: Um, of course, you guys are kind of very at opposite ends of the spectrum, and you're a random power running, running football team, and they like to spread you out across the field and throw the ball.
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, um, yeah, go ahead.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: that what it is imperative to be able to get to the quarterback and pressure because it's kind of hard to, especially I think at the high school level to cover all those weapons for, have your secondary have to cover all of those guys for a very long period of time.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: No doubt about it and that's one thing we didn't get done the first time we played and we never got the quarterback on the ground.
• 16:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, so that's been a point of emphasis this week.
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: He does a great job of getting out of pocket and in extending place and keeping size down field and the receivers do a great job and they're scramble drill.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: and we're going to get open and that makes it that much harder you know it's easy it's hard enough to to defend or out when when you know he's supposed to do what he's doing and then when it turns into backyard football and essentially that's what it looks like but the guys running around at recess and just running wherever they're supposed to be or finding an open area when you have to do that for eight nine seconds that's it's it's almost impossible to do at any
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: have to get them on the ground when we have our opportunities.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: But the weather may play a factor this Friday and and slowing them down a little bit.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, we can't we can't bank on that that happening.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: We just got to go out and and make sure we keep him in the pocket and make him beat us from in there which will help us be a better football team defensively
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: I, you know, I talked to Marty Wells and he's after your win last week and he said he just thought you guys just wore them wore them down as a game went on and especially in the fourth quarter.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: So that's one way to slow passing attack to is it is if offensively you can you can wear twin legs down.
• 17:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Got to go out and just get first down and keep the ball away from our best.
• 17:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we said, as all the time, our best defense is when we're, you know, getting four five yards out of time and one of the time of possession battle and we've done it in a lot of our wins this year and we were up.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: uh... or you're got to be twenty to fifteen against uh... a good spread football team who's nine and two week nine they've they've killed us in the time of possession battle they'd they'd run the ball and first down and and and most of the clock and you know get the second or third down and and you know extend the play and and and get a first down by a yard or whatever whatever it took and
• 18:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: we're able to extend drives and you know it was a it was a demoralizing game because our defense was on the field you know the whole game which we're used to being in the opposite role there obviously and and one in that time of possession battle and and keeping the other teams off and it's on the sideline but if we can go out and play with with the effort that we need to offer and if Levi can do what he has done the past couple weeks and
• 18:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: he's going to have to carry the load for us.
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's had over 40 carries the last two weeks and we're 500 yards but he's one of those guys that's built to do that and his big frame and he's going to go play college football and luckily it's not going to be the first time that he's had to do that this year which I think plays in our favor but he's one of those guys that
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: is willing to to almost put the team on his back and carries there.
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of shades of what Knox is doing up there with Miles McLaughlin right now, and obviously he hasn't done it all year, so he doesn't quite have the numbers, but the last couple games he's been or guy, and we're going to make sure he has the ball on his hands when the time's necessary.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Coach, what's practice been like the first few days here of sectional championship weekend?
• 19:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's the health of the team?
• 19:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're getting guys healthy.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't have our starting middle line back here against Frank, to Mason Connor, who's been our kind of our guy.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: He calls our defense for us, so we had a couple different guys step in there and place to him.
• 19:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was able to practice today and look good in there, so God, we have him back and everybody else is pretty well.
• 19:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's been an unbelievable week of practice for practicing in November, sometimes the weather this time of the year you just don't know and it's been one of those weeks in the tournament where, you know, if you're not playing, you walk out of school after being inside on day and like, man, I wish I was practicing today, but you know, we were fortunate enough to be able to have that opportunity to be able to play this weekend.
• 20:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: We've taken full of damage of it and you know, gone a little bit longer and done a little bit of extra in the film room before we go outside or, you know, pre-practice before the team starts and gets out there.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's been a great week and we got one more data model and we'll definitely use it.
• 20:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But just just excited for all of our guys to get the opportunity to play in this game.
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Western Head Coach, often Colby, thank you so much for your time and good luck on Friday.
• 20:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, you and I saw Twin Lakes play earlier this year, and we've heard all the facts and figures, and we heard about Twin Lakes win over Western earlier this year, 22 to 15 in a really competitive game.
• 21:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: We heard from Jay Stevens at the Cocomo Post, and Western head coach Austin Colby, Michelle, after all of that, what's your prediction for section 27, Twin Lakes Indians,
• 21:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: Twin Lakes Indians.
• 21:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: I picked them from the get-go to win the sectional.
• 21:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to stay with it.
• 21:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think Austin Colby is a really good coach and I think the Panthers story from Winless to what they've done this year is a really nice story.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: It is a nice story because of the turnaround.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: But Colby came in with an offense and a system that's very similar to what.
• 21:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: Western had that these seniors were familiar with two years ago and before that under Alex Stewart because it's a lot of the same system you ran kind of similar to the system you ran But it made it easier for awesome.
• 21:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think to get that turnaround.
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: I just like twin links because I like their explosive offense.
• 21:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: They had the ability.
• 21:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: They can play from behind Play from ahead.
• 21:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think if they can get ahead of Western in the fourth quarter.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be hard for Western because they don't have
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: necessarily that ability throw the ball get a big pass play and my shoemaker give him credit because he's been a heck of a player.
• 22:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: When you're pretty much it, if I was Western, I might come out try to throw a few passes to show that he's not all in it because I'm going to guess that he may have two or three spies on him all night.
• 22:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's been, he's been hit for them, and I think it's going to be important for Western to be able to establish another offensive weapon, because Kevin O'Shea and his staff, they're good coaches too.
• 22:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's what I think is going to be the difference Michelle, and this is going to be one of the few we're going to pick differently.
• 22:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Westerns, best players, or seniors, twin-lake, best players, are juniors.
• 22:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And to me, that could be the difference between two pretty even teams plus I just like the story.
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing against twin-lake, I really want Western to win this game.
• 23:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: What Austin Cole-Bee's done has been amazing.
• 23:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were winless last year.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They lost their best player earlier this year, and they still have a chance to win a sectional championship.
• 23:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So give me the Panthers.
• 23:17
