  Speaker 2: logo on the side, and now we were blue and white.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We were the Flying Tigers of Lucy Coffin Raxdale High
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: School of Jamestown, North Carolina. But we had white helmet
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: with that with a blue Clemson Tiger Paul like the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: one the white one you see on the side of

• 2:39
  Speaker 2: hung like cars. He had hold that tiger you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: had that as well. But it's also interesting you mentioned
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you mentioned Kate Club Nick and Ian Reed. They're Alma
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Maters CAD's being Westlake, Ian's being Vandergriff.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Both.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to those programs. They will be playing for state
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: championships this coming Saturday. Vandergriff will take on South Lake
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Carol one of the pre eminent programs a year in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: year out. In the six to eight Division two game
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that's at three o'clock Saturday afternoon, Carol won on a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: walk off field goal against long View that that was
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: they got to redo because the first one was no good,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: but running into the kicker was called against Longview and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: so they got one more shot at it and banged
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it through. At South Lake, Carol won that. Meanwhile, Vandergriff
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: rallied from a ten point deficit in the first half
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: against Summer Creek, a team that the computer liked, a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: team that was in the state finals a year ago,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and they rallied back and they were tough and tough
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: down the stretch on defense. So Vandergriff won that one,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty one. So they're making their second
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: trip to the state championship round in three years. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: congratulations to do Drew Sanders and the Vipers going back
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to the state.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Town to run.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And how about west Like my goodness, Galena Park north Shore,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: who has kind of been a standard bear out of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the Greater Houston area the past several years. They had
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: won three of the prior for meetings against West Lake
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and they played in Katie on Saturday. Got a chance
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to call that game for the FanDuel Sports Network and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it was dominant. Westlake had a dominant performance all three phases, offense, defense,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: special teams. They dominated that football game in winning thirty
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: five to ten. They were up twenty one to three
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: before you could bat an eye, or fourteen three before
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you could blink, and then twenty one to three late
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and a half, and North Short scored just before they
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: have to cut it to twenty to ten. Twenty one
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to ten, got the football to start the second half.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: So we were talking about today, you know, coach would
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: like to get that daily double scored just for the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: half against football start second half of that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Well, or Short scored right before the half.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: They got the football start the second half, and they
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: went for it on fourth down and I think it
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: was about four or maybe six inside their own twenty
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: yard line. Dan Campbell didn't get it. They were on
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: their own nineteen yard line and got stopped. And then
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: one play later West Lakes truck Reese Wise had himself
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a marvelous game at quarterback and they hit Grady Bartler
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: for a touchdown. It was twenty eight ten that point
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and that point it was so he gett a schwaeper
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: because it was done. After that, they went only won
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: thirty five ten, So congratulations. Westlake went back to the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: state championship round for the twelfth time in school history
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and the first time in three years since they finished
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the three peat run under Todd dodge Well. Now Tony
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Salazar has coached a team into the state finals himself,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and they're playing North Crowley, not Duncanville. The two time
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: defending state champions are defending no More and novils A
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: seasaw Fair. North Crowley jumped with a fifteen to nothing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: lead and Duncanville came back three unanswered touchdowns, went up
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: twenty one point fifteen. Then North Crowley punched a couple
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of touchdowns across. They went up twenty nine to twenty one.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Duncanyville closed within two, missed on the two point conversion
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: try that would have tied it. It was twenty nine to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. North Crowley scored and we said, okay, well
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: that's done. There's just there's under two minutes to go
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in the game. It took down Kviill thirty seconds to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: come down and score cut it. The thirty six, thirty four,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: but they could not stop North Crowley after that they
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: kept the ball on the ground. So North Crowley going
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to the state championship round to get this. North Crowley
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: has a state title. A lot of folks may not
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: remember they did win one, and they were a relatively
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: new school at the time.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: This was twenty one years ago.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: This was in two thousand and three, and I had
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: done TV that morning or at noon on what was
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: then the five A Division one state championship because the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: largest bracket only had thirty two teams in it in
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: five A what's now known as six A back then,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and then the Division two had a larger bracket, a
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: sixty fourteen bracket, so we used to stagger them on
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: successive weekends. So the first one was North Shore against
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the Woodlands and it was Northshore's first state titled.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: David A.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Mam was the coach and I called that game for
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: television that day. It was noon a noonkick at Rice Stadium,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and Bobby Reid was the quarterback for North Serry. He's
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the one that went on Oklahoma State and caused all
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the controversy there when Jenny Carlson wrote the article that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: sprung the come after me. I'm a man, I'm forty
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that deal. It all started from a Bobby Reid thing afterwards,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and by the way, the Woodlands was coached by Mike Amandola,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: whose son Danny was playing for the Woodlands. Danny Amandola
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of course went on to Texas Tech and then the NFL.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Well. Northshore wins that game.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Their defensive coordinator was a fellow by the name of
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Craig Cheshire who parlayed that into his first and still
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: only head coaching job. He's been at Stony Point since
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: two thousand and four, the last twenty years, but he
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: was the defensive coordat of a great North Shore defense.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: So when the game was over, I jumped on the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: car and the zipped up the college station because that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: night for radio I called what was then the four
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: A Division one State Final, nowadays have been known as
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: five eight, and it featured North Crowley kind of a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: newbie against a Bay City team who had an up
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and coming young defensive coordinator by the name of Hank Carter,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: who then go on obviously to Stephenville and then the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Lake Travis and North Crowley won that game, but this
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: is their first time in the state final of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: largest classification, So North Crowley and Westlake play at seven
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: o'clock on Saturday night. I've been asked about this by
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. I'm not calling either of those games,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Vandergrift in Westlake because the day job. I'll be busy
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: down here with Texas Clemson, and we're gonna hear from
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Long Wrnons head coach Steve sarkisian this being a Long
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: WRNS Monday, probably our final Long Horns Monday of the season,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: even with a Texas win.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: We'll see how the holiday affects, whether there's a Monday
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: news conference or how that works. But we did have
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a Long RNE Monday news conference to bring you live
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: this morning at eleven o'clock with coach sark and you'll
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: hear that the comments from sark from that press are
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: coming up. Also, we'll review the NFL weekend. Your Dallas
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Cowboys thumping the Caroline. How did your friends and Charlotte
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: take to that? They couldn't have been very happy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw a text message. I don't think many
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: of them watched it, to be honest with you. One
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: of the texts was all right, how many of Bryce's
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: six turnovers were his fault, so it tells you how
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the game went okay with four turnovers overall in that one.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: So it's a ceedee lamb at a big game. Yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: he did for the Cowboys, Freco Dattle pretty good. He's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: been in one of the few bright spots this football.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: So the Cowboys are six and eight right and they
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: still have a barely breathing mathematical shot to make the playoffs.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how it finishes out from there. As
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a Rams fan, I was happy to see the Packers
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: beat the Seahawks, Lises.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: How about the uniform matchup last night? Did you see
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: what Seattle's wearing?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Those neon green highlighter uniforms and the Packers went Stormtrooper white.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They wore icy whites, including a white helmet. They didn't
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: wear the yellow green Bay helmet. They wore the white
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: helmet with a G football logo on the side. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the Packers won that game. In winning thirty to thirteen,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: they close in on getting close to clinching a playoff spot. Meanwhile,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Seattle drops in a tie for first place in the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: NFC West with the Rams. Each team has three games remaining,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: including a head to head meeting in Los Angeles the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: final weekend of the regular seasons.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about the NFL.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Cam has to be happy that his Oklahoma City Thunder
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night are playing in the Emirates NBA Cup Final
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: against the Milwaukee Bucks. Let me say this, I'm glad
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: for the sake of the NBA and the Emirates NBA
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Cup that it is the Thunder in the Bucks because
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you got two of the better franchise are two of
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the better teams in the NBA. If we had been
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: left with Houston against Atlanta, an Atlanta team is now
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: fourteen and thirteen, you know, So I'm I'm glad.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It worked out that way. So there's that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: So and of course there's college basketball from over the weekend.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Long Worn's one yesterday one twenty one to fifty seven
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of Arkansas Pine Bluff. We'll hear from head coach Rodney
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Terry coming off of that contest. Texas women went on
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the road on Sunday in the state of Virginia for
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the second straight Sunday, and they beat the Richmond Spiders
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: yesterday sixty five to fifty four. So they're ten and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: one this season, so we'll get to all of that
