Transcript
- 0:09[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome high school football fans of the Central Indian Sports Report for our week 12.
- 0:14[SPEAKER_01]: Preview and predictions show that of course is sectional championship week and they're just so happen to be 20 games in Central Indiana that are sectional championships.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_01]: So we are going to preview and predict every single one of them.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_01]: I am joined by Tipton Tribune and Elwood Colleaders Sports Editor Michelle Garmin and the
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: and an absent Kevin Helferick, so Michelle, how do we punish him?
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: The three of us get a neck or a get bonus to point at least a two point bonus.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_00]: He can't, I mean, so we may pick 20 games or whatever, but we get two extra bonus points, so even if he, like, say, he goes 18 and two, and say, we go like 16 and four, we also get 18 wins.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_01]: I think so, I think that's the way.
- 1:06[SPEAKER_01]: So, Kevin and Michelle are tied with four weeks to go.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_01]: So, Michelle's the one who made the rule.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking I was still down to or something.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't really sure, so, I'm just, I'm Josh, and I mean, I think so.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: I just surprised that Kevin has it during this tonight, so he must have had something come up.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_01]: And that's okay.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_01]: It's happened before and what we do is he has to pick first the next week and if he was scheduled to be first the next week, then he has to be first another time and that's punishment enough and we will get his picks.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_01]: If you're watching this on YouTube, they will be in the background.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's just an old man who fell asleep.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_00]: And hey, real quick, Greg, did you see what you guys see where you're in apples pie?
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: Let their coach get fired, their coach today?
- 2:01[SPEAKER_00]: their football coach.
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: What?
- 2:04[SPEAKER_00]: That's what that's what like center groves coach and another big school down here's coach can't figure out why they fired him.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: They said they saw noticeable improvement absolutely and the direction of what Warp Pike was going.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_00]: They just said he wasn't a good deal.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_01]: So Kevin, not here for the sectional championships.
- 2:23[SPEAKER_01]: His picks will be in the background.
- 2:26[SPEAKER_01]: So we will have his picks and we start with a Hamilton County showdown in Class 6, a sectional three, the first meeting this year.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_01]: A little surprise, this isn't a yearly matchup, but it isn't anymore, but might be again one day, you never know.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_01]: But they are put in the same section, and it is five and five Hamilton's out of eastern playing very well at number 10, Carmel, six in four, and we start with Michelle Michelle the Sagarin rating says Carmel by 10.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I actually think Carmel could actually win by more, right?
- 3:03[SPEAKER_00]: I think reading Westville last week, play that schedule their well-coached.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_00]: It was really kind of cool last Friday night.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: I stopped Coca-Cola to grab something to eat on my way back from Cass and I thought I heard, I thought I recognized this always talking on the phone high school football.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: It was butter, right?
- 3:21[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I talked to him for a few minutes.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, I, I said, your son got a nice win.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: He said, yeah, he said, but they almost gave it away.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_01]: Of course.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think Carmel, I would be surprised if they won by two touchdowns.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_00]: I know Hamilton, South Eastern has gotten better.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_00]: They've got seen young guys, but I just think this Carmel is not, when Mom is not going to be too big for this Carmel thing.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, the the beating that better right took last Friday.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_02]: He probably had time to watch that second half of that game.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to take Carmel as well on Friday.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_02]: I think the win this game going away like Michelle said I think the win by more than 10 I think it's a game that could put away by the end of the third quarter and I think the hounds will move on and play for a regional championship.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_01]: I do too, but I do think this is going to be a close game.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is a game Hamilton South Eastern is going to keep close.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_01]: I also think it's a game they could upset Carmel.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_01]: They're definitely good enough.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're near the same level as Carmel.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to take Carmel.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: I also want to say that there might be a person or two around who doesn't mind seeing Bud Wright take a big beating.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_01]: Might be a person or two around who suffered those by him who don't mind seeing him take
- 4:41[SPEAKER_01]: Sectional, Class 6A, Sectional 5, what is 5 and 5 been Davis against number one, unbeaten, two-time defending state champion Brownsburg, been Davis coming off a big win over A-von, Brownsburg beat up Zion'sville for a second time as they continue their pursuit of a third state championship Michelle.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_00]: Well, as we've said multiple times on this podcast, he Brownsburg is the elite of the elite in the state of Indiana until somebody proves otherwise.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it was a nice win for Ben Davis, but I think Brownsburg will roll like Brownsburg.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, the Saggerin rating has this just a nine point Brownsburg Edge that surprises me.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think this game's over by half time, I think the clock's probably running in the third fourth quarter.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_01]: That's how good Brownsburg is.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_01]: Class 6A sectional six is eight and two Lawrence North ranked fifth at three and seven North Central.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_01]: These two teams played earlier this year, Lawrence North probably their best performance of the year 56 to 21.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_01]: Course North Central has a lot of young talent, including their quarterback and running back both juniors, both superstars.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_01]: But Sagerin has Lawrence North by 18 points.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_01]: That is the expectation.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: Lawrence Norris, they'll win this game big.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_02]: I agree, I think it's the game, Lawrence Norris wins going away.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be way, way, way more competitive than it was the first time when it was 56 to 21.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_01]: I think Norris Central's capable of scoring with them.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think Lawrence Norris play in their best football, including almost losing again to Lawrence Central last week.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_01]: Those two teams played down to, again, that came down to the last seconds.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_01]: I think this might be a good game, but I'm picking Lawrence North.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_00]: There is a little bit of difference.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_00]: Lawrence Central has a better pedigree in football, recent pedigree than North Central.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: North Central has better players though.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_00]: Until they start winning, really winning something.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: Lawrence North will, I don't think this game will be that close.
- 6:58[SPEAKER_00]: I think Lawrence North will romp.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: And you don't want to play your best game yet.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, if law all orange North needs to do is just get better each week.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: And that's such a bitter rivalry, Lawrence North and Lawrence Central.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like caramel and Westfield chances are it's going to be close.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: No matter no matter what.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_01]: I like North Central's chances of staying close in this one.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to put up a lot of points.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_01]: Don't be shocked if there's an upset, but I'm not going to predict that.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_01]: Class 6A, sectional seven, it is five and six Franklin Central off of their win over Decatur Central against number two, Warren Central unbeaten expected to be the best team in the south of this region.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_01]: And according to the Sagarin rating, Warren Central is a 19 point favor.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to win big and as long as Warren Central and Brownsburg don't get caught looking too far ahead, that's going to be one heck of a semi state in a couple weeks.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think because Carmel I know goes north, so they're not in play there.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it I think those Brownsburg, Warren Central is on a collision course with Brownsburg and I believe in the south, they're the second best team behind Brownsburg remaining anyway.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_00]: And probably overall.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, same situation though, I think these all look like blowouts.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think any of them are going to be blowouts.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_01]: I think Franklin Central is legit good.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_01]: They're five and six because of their schedule.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_01]: And they are definitely capable of being competitive with the best teams in the entire state.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing I want to say about this is the cater central prove that the jump from five A to six A is just too much.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_01]: It's just too much.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: Franklin Central had no problem with the decayed or central team that may have been the state champion in class five A.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_01]: are.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_01]: And don't count out this team as well.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_01]: Class 6A sectional 8 is 5 and 5 Columbus North at 8 and 2 center grove.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_01]: The Trojans ranked fifth in the state.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_01]: They lost a game late in the year because of some injuries.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_01]: They also lost a really good game to warrant central early in the year in Michelle.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_01]: They are a sad grin favorite by 21 points and we're almost certainly
- 9:17[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that would be, if Warren Central would get caught looking ahead, you know, thinking about or looking ahead or looking past Senator Grove, I don't think they will because of Senator Grove's history, but if they were Senator Grove would be good enough to upset Warren Central, but Columbus North is not going enough to upset Senator Grove on Friday night.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I agree with Michelle.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take the Trojans of Senator Grove to advance.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think Hamilton's out the eastern is going to keep it close with caramel.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_01]: I think North Central is going to keep it close with Lawrence North.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_01]: I think Franklin Central is going to keep it close with Warren Central and I think Senator Groves is going to win and buy about 50.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: So I do not think this one's going to be close.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: This one's going to be the most certain game I have in any game in the first round.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_01]: Even including Brownsburg and Ben Davis, I am more certain about Senator Groves advancing in anywhere.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_01]: Please check out the 10-minute report every day.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_01]: On the Central Indiana Sports Report, for 10 minutes every day, I'm talking about whatever central Indiana sports fans are talking about, whether it's the past or school, IU Purdue, Indie Carr, the fever, Ball State Butler, local colleges, or high schools, the Central Indiana sports fans are talking about it.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking about it every day on the 10-minute report.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_01]: Only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_01]: And we moved to class 5A as we start in the north in sectional 12 and it is number 4, Lafayette Jeff 8 and 2 at 6 and 4, Huntington North, Huntington North coming off their big win over McCutcheon and the Sagger and Rating Michelle says Jeff by 8.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think Lafayette Jeff will win this game.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think it might be a little closer to two touchdowns and points to two touchdowns.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_00]: But I would be surprised if Huntington North does keep it close, but I like the Broncos.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_02]: I agree I'll take Jeff and this one hunting to North at a good season.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_02]: I think it comes to an end for out at night.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_01]: I am taking the upset in this one.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_01]: I think Jeff playing in that Norse Central Conference that not play a good schedule.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_01]: And when they played good teams, they lost.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_01]: Uneaten North plays in a much, much better conference.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_01]: They have competitive games pretty much every week.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm taking uneaten North in the upset in this one.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_01]: And to our central Indiana game of the week, class 5A sectional 13 is number two new pal at number one, cathedral, both of them are seven and three.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_01]: The Sagger and Rating Michelle says, new pal by a touchdown.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_00]: I know, man, this could be one of the best games this weekend on Friday night, sexual championship games,
- 12:16[SPEAKER_00]: could get new power, I think, by a couple of sessions.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_00]: This new palteen, you know, jumping up and I think they are as you said earlier, I don't think they are the same new palteen of the last couple of years, but again, Coach Ralph just has these kids ready and he knew it was going to be a big jump on those three losses are because he wasn't afraid to go play.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: really strong competition.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_00]: From out of state as what, you know, to have his team ready for this moment.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_00]: There's really no, I don't, I don't know that a home field makes a big difference in this matchup because new pals are going to travel.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: They wouldn't surprise me if new pal didn't have more fans in the stands than cathedral at the game.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they will.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: And so,
- 13:08[SPEAKER_00]: man.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_00]: This is really tough.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I want to pick the dragons because they're the public school.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: I like to try out.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: But my gut instinct, my first instinct was to take a theater.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think a theater will win.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_00]: And really close one.
- 13:22[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, Grant forgot to mention this is that tech.
- 13:25[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to actually take a
- 13:28[SPEAKER_02]: New pal's had a great season, but you know, we talked earlier about how it just kind of seems like they've been missing one piece and I don't know that that missing piece shows up Friday night.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take cathedral to beat new pal on Friday.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the thing I know about these teams the best unit of all of of these two teams is cathedral's defense.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I'm taking the Irish in a low scoring game.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be about a touchdown and.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I picked a cathedral to win the state championship early in the year.
- 13:59[SPEAKER_01]: I don't believe that anymore.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be having a little memorial.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_01]: But they're awfully good.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_01]: That's particularly that defense.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_01]: And they played a really tough schedule.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_01]: Class 5A sectional 14.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: It's number eight playing field eight and two at Tara Hotes South six and four.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_01]: And according to the side, this is going to be one of the best sectional championships in Indiana.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: It has playing field by two and a half points.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it will be Tarot South is the alma mater of former New York Giants puncture.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_00]: See, Westford.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_00]: That said, I think it'll be a good one.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take playing field.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_02]: That's a good.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it sounds like Tarot South just tipped in South and they choke last week.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take a plane through.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, great, great, great.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_01]: Hey guys, I think playing field is actually a serious state championship contender.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_01]: I like their chances against anybody in class 5A and they're going to win this game going away.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: I'm stunned that the Sagrant close Terros South.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_01]: Not very good.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, great.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_00]: My cousins, my cousins, my cousins, kids go or graduate from playing field and
- 15:17[SPEAKER_01]: There we go.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_01]: We could play six degrees of tipped in all day grant.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_01]: Class for a sectional 20, it is unbeaten, 10th ranked Logan sport at eight and three months e-central Logan sport Michelle according to the Sagarin rating is a 17 point favorite.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: I do need to mention that their best defense of player Carson.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_01]: I believe Jackson, one of the Jackson brothers is
- 15:44[SPEAKER_01]: reportedly suspended for this game for a targeting penalty late against Jay County.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: So that could be a detriment to Logan sport, but still a huge favorite accord in the Zagger and 17 points.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_00]: Do we know for sure because here's the thing, I remember a couple of years ago somewhere there was a, I was actually surprised because a player had gotten injecting what they thought was going to have to set up the next game, but he played because the officials never
- 16:15[SPEAKER_00]: to make him miss a game.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess we don't know for sure, but that's the report.
- 16:19[SPEAKER_00]: I know months of central they're coming off a really nice win for them.
- 16:24[SPEAKER_00]: They're they're good.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: No loaders port will miss this kid and everything, but I think Logan's port is just so they're so good and they're so fast.
- 16:34[SPEAKER_00]: I'd look for Logan's port and when I think this will be the closest game Logan's port's going to play it all year though.
- 16:41[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go against you here.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take months of central in the episode.
- 16:47[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're so right and high off that win against your hometown.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_02]: I picked them last week.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_02]: I went road.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody wanted to listen to me.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_02]: I picked Muncie Central.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_02]: I think their magical ride continues through the sectional championship and I think Logan sports a good.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_02]: I think Muncie Central is good.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_02]: I saw Muncie Central in person.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_02]: The way they move the ball, the way they're capable of moving the ball is really, really effective, at least it is when you're playing marion.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm going
- 17:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, these two teams have played a lot through the years.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a while, though.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is close, guys.
- 17:25[SPEAKER_01]: I've been on Logan's board all year.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_01]: I even if they're missing their linebacker.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_01]: I think they score at will in this game and set up for interesting regional.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_01]: And it wasted.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hey, should I mention that Logan's board is one of five who's your conference team stool playing in the tournament?
- 17:48[SPEAKER_01]: You should, that's impressive.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_01]: We've got some more coming up here.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Hoosier Conference is very good in Logan's port just went through it like a hot and I threw butter.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_01]: That's how good I think they are.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_01]: Be interesting to see whether they can compete with the wingers, the Ron Collies, the shittards of the world, but they are really good.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of which, class 4A and sexual 21, a good one.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_01]: Unbeaten at 11 and 0, number six, Danville at nine and two, shatard.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_01]: I know how you like to go against the Perokio schools.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_01]: They are favored by six points.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to take Danville in the upset?
- 18:32[SPEAKER_00]: When you know, she's tired to get that double edge.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_00]: They're a Perokio school and their nicknames, the Trojans.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_00]: Again, apologies, Tristan and Trojans don't like that nickname.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I sit there and I want to and I want to take Danville to upset she tired and I think I didn't going to because I do believe that Danville did do that a few.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_00]: If recent not like last couple years, but I do believe they have a relatively recent upset win over She Tard in the tournament.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_01]: So last two times they played them in the tournament.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_01]: They've beaten a Michelle.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_00]: So, yep, I'll take Danville.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_02]: Give me the shithart legends.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take shithart, but I would have said three weeks ago that this was no doubt shithart, but they have not been playing well in the postseason.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: They have been challenged by a couple of teams that they beat.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_01]: Garen, they beat pretty easily during the regular season.
- 19:32[SPEAKER_01]: They struggled with them last week.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_01]: They've really struggled with the last two weeks.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_01]: I think Danville has a chance, but I'm going to take shithart.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_01]: At their best, there is good as anybody in class 4A.
- 19:43[SPEAKER_01]: So give me the Trojans.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: And sexual 22 staying in 4A to 7 and 4, Moore'sville at 9 and 2 and 4th ranked Ron Kali.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_01]: And this one should be a no-douder.
- 19:59[SPEAKER_01]: Ron Kali, a 19 point favor to according to the
- 20:11[SPEAKER_01]: Ron Colley Big and our local game of the week is in class 3-8, sectional 28 is a Hoosier Conference rematch of a game that Hamilton Heights won 38 to nothing on October 12.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_01]: It's 8 and 3 Hamilton Heights at 4 and 7 West Lafayette.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_01]: The Sagrinderating isn't buying that 38 to nothing victory Michelle because it is only 5 points.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_00]: I know and I think but Harold John Harold's got Hamilton and Heights winning by a couple touchdowns I believe I don't think it's going to be I don't think it'll be 38 to 0 again.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: I look for the game to be closer one their the first time they play the play I believe at Hamilton Heights this time they're playing at West Lafayette and give me the Huskies I just
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: I just like what Caleb Small is doing there and I know that it's going to be a little cooler, maybe some chance of rain, but I just, I like, I like heights, they've got quickness and speed and that path the Wittaker kid is having a really good.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_00]: year, being young like he isn't stepping in to have to fill the shoes when he did.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Caleb Smalls got Hamilton Heights really believing in on the right track.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to get their first sexual championships since 2018.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_02]: Going to go and repeat everything Michelle just had like their fast, they're quick, they moved the ball, they run the ball, they play good defense.
- 21:40[SPEAKER_02]: They can play good defense.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_02]: They're capable.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that they will.
- 21:44[SPEAKER_02]: I think the win.
- 21:45[SPEAKER_02]: I think the win.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_02]: They're first sexual championships since 2013.
- 21:50[SPEAKER_02]: That's 2018 2013.
- 21:51[SPEAKER_02]: They went to the 3A state championship.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I'm sorry.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_00]: I look at that.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_02]: I did a match up earlier and I forgot I only remember that.
- 22:02[SPEAKER_02]: I remember that from seeing him a couple weeks ago, but they were a good team.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_02]: I was impressed with him and it gets him to send a wall.
- 22:10[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we kind of said, when we went into that matchup, whoever would win that, probably win the sexual championship.
- 22:16[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that Hamiltonites is there.
- 22:19[SPEAKER_02]: I think that won the sexual championship.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think 38 to nothing is probably closer to what it's going to be than the staggering saying five points.
- 22:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be closer to 38 than five.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_01]: Hamiltonites is better than they were on October 16th.
- 22:34[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's safe to say their quarterback was still getting used to being a starting quarterback varsity starting quarterback.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're better than they were when they beat them 38 to nothing on October 16th.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_01]: I certainly don't expect another shutout or another 38 point win, but I don't think this can be very close.
- 22:54[SPEAKER_01]: Class 3A, sectional 29, it's eight and three western boon at nine and two tri-west.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_01]: The Bruins ranked eighth in class 3A, and they started the regular season with a tri-west 42 to 20 win over western boon, but the sad-grinned things western boon will keep it a lot closer.
- 23:11[SPEAKER_01]: It says tri-west by nine Michelle.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I'm taking try west because I think last year I made a thick Western room to to beat them in an upset and they didn't and they didn't and I'm not I'm not I'm taking a try west.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_02]: I'm also going to take try west.
- 23:30[SPEAKER_02]: I know Western boons got the pedigree that they have.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_02]: They've had a really good program over the years.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_02]: I think that I think try west winds on Friday though.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Western boon definitely is a team that got better throughout the year.
- 23:43[SPEAKER_01]: Their results were better and better throughout the year, but they're not 22 points better.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_01]: Try West is also playing well.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_01]: They have two losses.
- 23:51[SPEAKER_01]: They play a tough schedule and went through some injuries.
- 23:55[SPEAKER_01]: They're really good and they're going to have a chance to continue to advance to the tournament.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_01]: Even past this point, I think.
- 24:02[SPEAKER_01]: So try West is my answer.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_01]: And our final game in Class 3A is number five Indian Creek, Tinnano at six and five Sullivan.
- 24:12[SPEAKER_01]: Sullivan's been putting up a lot of points lately, but Indian Creek's been dominating everybody and according to Saggeran, they are a 29 point favorite.
- 24:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll take, I will pick, and I will take Indian Creek
- 24:34[SPEAKER_00]: to win this one.
- 24:34[SPEAKER_00]: I, they're undefeated.
- 24:36[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're, you know, I think they're a really good football team.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_00]: And I believe they're going to be sectional champions come Friday night.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take Andy and Creek as well.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_02]: I think the win.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, easy.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm time this weekend.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_01]: Matt Schultz, Finchler and I will recap the sectional championship games.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_01]: on our weekly high school football recap and re-action show.
- 25:05[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you're subscribed and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_00]: Another class 3A sectional that is kind of of interest, especially to me, because it involves twin lengths, which is one of the five who's your conference team still playing this week.
- 25:22[SPEAKER_00]: They post and drain in their sexual championship.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_00]: They're looking for a repeat, but I don't think they're going to get it against the 59ers on Friday night, but I just wanted to throw that out there.
- 25:35[SPEAKER_00]: The twin lengths will also be playing for the sexual championship.
- 25:40[SPEAKER_01]: We move to class 2A, sectional 34.
- 25:43[SPEAKER_01]: It is unbeaten number four, east side at six and five, Rochester.
- 25:47[SPEAKER_01]: Nice season by Rochester to get the six wins to get to a sectional championship, but the Sagarin rating says they are a 37.underdog.
- 25:57[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, east side.
- 26:01[SPEAKER_02]: I agree the press box that Rod Chester is one of the words not like the one at tip that I'm taking Rod.
- 26:07[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take each side.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_01]: Glass 2A, sectional 35 is grants, alma mater 6 and 5 O kill at 8 and 3 Lewis cast which beat up on tipped in last week in the semi final and suddenly it looks like a sectional favorite and according to the Sagarin cast is a 16 point favorite.
- 26:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I am.
- 26:28[SPEAKER_00]: I think cast wind got to see him.
- 26:30[SPEAKER_00]: They kind of remind me of the really good but right teams that shared and they ran about, they had about five plays and they executed them very, very well, which makes them very hard to stop.
- 26:42[SPEAKER_00]: Now, but one thing is, if Oak Hill's passing game is on, you know, they can have it, that tipping game on their second possession, I mean, they traded touchdowns to open, tipped and dropped two passes wide open, I think they score again.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know I told Greg this early.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know heading into that game that they were down an inside line backer and it's ain't done.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_00]: I had been banged up and hadn't practiced all week and he only had they only ran him six times.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_00]: So if I'd known all that, I probably still would have picked it and just because I picked them to win the sectional, but I would have thought it would have been a really close game and I would not have been shocked at all.
- 27:26[SPEAKER_00]: to see what happened, what cast it.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_00]: So, but I was really impressed with cast last weekend.
- 27:31[SPEAKER_00]: They're at home, they get a host at, I mean, cash, how lucky are they?
- 27:34[SPEAKER_00]: All three sectional games, they get a host.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no kidding.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with you.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna pick Lewis Cast on Friday, sorry, O'Kill.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_02]: I think Lewis Cast is a team here where they maybe found their mojo, their eight, three, O'Kill 65.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_02]: A game last week with Delphi work, you know,
- 27:53[SPEAKER_02]: We kind of thought O'Kill would win easily and they did, they pulled away, but they didn't win.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think convincingly, I think they just did enough to win.
- 28:01[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they did enough to win in the second half against Seeger in the opening round.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_02]: I think finally the season comes to an end on Friday night for O'Kill and Lewis Gas wins that game.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_02]: But I wouldn't be shocked if it was a good game.
- 28:14[SPEAKER_02]: I hope O'Kill can win.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they can though.
- 28:16[SPEAKER_02]: I'll pick the Kings.
- 28:21[SPEAKER_01]: If you had told me it was going to be okay on Lewis Cass.
- 28:23[SPEAKER_01]: I almost certainly would have taken Oak Hill, but then not only did I see what Cass did to Tippedon, but Oak Hill struggle with Delphi as Grant said.
- 28:31[SPEAKER_01]: And that kind of convinced me that Cass is the favorite in this one.
- 28:36[SPEAKER_01]: Saggerant says by 16, but I am going to take Oak Hill anyway.
- 28:40[SPEAKER_01]: I have a feeling that they're going
- 28:43[SPEAKER_01]: They've played a better schedule.
- 28:44[SPEAKER_01]: They've played more tough teams.
- 28:47[SPEAKER_01]: I don't believe in the three reverse conferences.
- 28:49[SPEAKER_01]: We saw with McConnell last week.
- 28:52[SPEAKER_01]: And Michelle mentioned, tipped in at a lot of holes in their team.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_01]: The team that they took advantage of, I'm impressed with what Cass has done, not impressed with the three reverse conference, give me a kill in a bit of an upset.
- 29:06[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not going to matter anyway, because whoever wins that one is going to have to face number eight lapel in the next round, class two a sectional 36 is number 10 unbeaten haggers town at number eight lapel 10 and one, according to the Sagarin rating lapel is a 15 point favorite.
- 29:24[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a lot more than that Michelle.
- 29:27[SPEAKER_00]: I think LePoe will win.
- 29:28[SPEAKER_00]: I'm interested to see this to see it had your town can hang with LePoe early.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_00]: I do think the Bulldogs will win though, and I think it will be by more than two touchdowns.
- 29:43[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to advance kind of role easily into the regional.
- 29:50[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with you, Michelle.
- 29:51[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take lapel to win that game.
- 29:54[SPEAKER_02]: Hager's down.
- 29:55[SPEAKER_02]: It gives on their teeth out that went to the little league world series a few years ago when they were, you know, fifth and sixth graders, but it was nothing on one of those tipped and little league teams, man.
- 30:05[SPEAKER_02]: So, I got to pick lapel.
- 30:10[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 30:11[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to not only take lapel.
- 30:13[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to pick predictor running clock at some point in this game.
- 30:17[SPEAKER_02]: I actually agree, I don't think this game will be closed.
- 30:20[SPEAKER_02]: I think what Bell wins easily, like we all agree.
- 30:23[SPEAKER_01]: And the next week, and probably the next week, although maybe East Side is way better than I think, but I think LePels is going to just cruise to the state championship game.
- 30:33[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'm way off on that.
- 30:37[SPEAKER_01]: Class 2A sectional 37 now in the south, the very, very tough south.
- 30:41[SPEAKER_01]: If Lapella isn't the south of two-way, I would probably not feel that way because I believe there are five state championship contenders, four of them are in the south, including these two class 2A sectional 37 is number three unbeaten, Lutheran at number five unbeaten Eastern Hancock.
- 30:59[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle Saggeran says, the Royals by 12.
- 31:03[SPEAKER_00]: This is a, this is a top one.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_00]: At first, I was, I was going to go with Lutheran, but when I see it at the point at Eastern Hancock.
- 31:13[SPEAKER_00]: I know Lutheran down there and they play in Indian play different jams, but that Eastern Hancock football field is just out kind of right there by the inner state in the middle of nowhere and I think I'm actually going to go ahead and take Eastern Hancock.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_00]: I'm flipping because earlier in the week I thought it would be Lutheran, but I'll go with Eastern Hancock mainly because they're at home.
- 31:35[SPEAKER_00]: I think this game could be a really close one though.
- 31:38[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a real fun one.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to actually take Indian apples, Luther, and in this game, I think they probably have better athletes than Eastern Ancock, but I'm going to take the Lutheran Saints to beat the royals.
- 31:52[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you what, I bet the royals of water, your grass and hope it's growing and won't mow it and leave it about four inches high.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let me tell you, you're not going to do much better of a group of athletes than Matt Hunt, Blake Wittington and Luke Manchip, probably the best quarterback running back and wide receiver Eastern Hancock's ever had.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_01]: They are record centers, all three of them, and they are legit, good, a legit state championship contender.
- 32:18[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to see a rematch of Eastern Hancock and LePell, just to see how much difference Jack Miller would make.
- 32:25[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but I'm going to take Eastern Hancock to win this game going away.
- 32:29[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take them by at least 10 points.
- 32:32[SPEAKER_01]: I think they are that good.
- 32:34[SPEAKER_01]: Cost 2 a sectional 36.
- 32:36[SPEAKER_01]: It is 5 and 6.
- 32:38[SPEAKER_01]: Minrovia at number one defending state champion, 11 and 0.
- 32:42[SPEAKER_01]: South Putnam don't need a waste a lot of time with this one.
- 32:45[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations, Minrovia for getting here.
- 32:48[SPEAKER_01]: Sagerin has South Putnam is the favorite by 41.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_00]: South Platinum is going to roll.
- 32:58[SPEAKER_00]: They're fast.
- 32:58[SPEAKER_00]: They're good.
- 32:59[SPEAKER_00]: They're really good.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_00]: The game will be over by half time.
- 33:03[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Chuck wagon rolls on Friday.
- 33:05[SPEAKER_02]: Give me South Platinum.
- 33:07[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's no doubt this Chuck wagon is going to just keep all rolling.
- 33:10[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
- 33:11[SPEAKER_01]: It's good as Eastern Ancock is.
- 33:13[SPEAKER_01]: It's good as Brownstone is.
- 33:14[SPEAKER_01]: South Platinum is my pick to win to.
- 33:17[SPEAKER_01]: So yes, I'm picking them to win this game and our one local Class A sectional championship is sectional 42 and that is five and six central Catholic at seven and four Clinton pretty and what should be a good one Michelle I know you've seen central Catholics passing game they are favored by five in this one should be a good one.
- 33:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the win by more than that I again, since we're Catholic the conference just the conference.
- 33:43[SPEAKER_00]: They play and as a poet, I'm in Prairie's in part of the who's your heartland conference different weren't and you know central capital to part of who's your conference and just central capital has been tested more seem better competition and their style of play Is not one that you're necessarily very familiar with you know that one a team's space a lot I think central capital and I think it will be maybe a couple of touchdowns
- 34:11[SPEAKER_02]: I agree I'll pick Central Catholic here at one point this season.
- 34:15[SPEAKER_02]: They did breed the same errors that didn't get so I definitely got to pick Central Catholic.
- 34:21[SPEAKER_01]: And me and Michelle as well.
- 34:22[SPEAKER_01]: We were both there as well for that one.
- 34:24[SPEAKER_02]: That was the hot one I believe, wasn't it?
- 34:26[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I guess it was.
- 34:27[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it was.
- 34:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was.
- 34:31[SPEAKER_01]: And my only question is, what the game will be like next week with Central Catholic and Pioneer?
- 34:37[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if Central Catholic is that good or not, but I do believe that they're gonna be Clinton Perry going away.
- 34:43[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I think that Central Catholic Pioneer game could be really good.
- 34:47[SPEAKER_00]: Pioneers probably the one school that with tradition and everything that tradition won't weigh on them.
- 34:58[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of those schools all hate them, and I think they hate them because they rarely can beat them.
- 35:04[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I meant about the bud right earlier, everybody enjoying them watching them lose.
- 35:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 35:10[SPEAKER_01]: Because he beat up on people for so long.
- 35:13[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle Grant, thank you so much.
