• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I tell you what you've been a part of and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: we'll talk a lot of football here over the next
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: sept two segments with you. You've been a big part
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of what Germantown has done here. The facilities. I keep
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: talking about facilities because, man, look like our vantage point,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the beautiful football facility, the new weight room a Nike
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: school now was told that today, which I think a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: lot of people here, that the baseball facilities, everything here
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: on this campus just right off fifty five. It is
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a wonderful spot. I don't know that you're going to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: find a better set of facilities and leadership than what
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you have right here in Geerbortown of the state.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know it really has transpired that way.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: You know that they've had the commitment to excellence. But
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: it's the growing pains. I know, Coach Russell Mitchell talked
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: about it. They really had a vision for this school.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: But when you grow as fast as they do, or
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: as they did, I should say it's one of those
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: where you've got to really revamp and rethink some of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the ways you're going to be competitive in these sports.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And I think they've done a really good job of that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: People are saying, look, look at all the rooftops going
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: on in Gluckstadt are going up. When is this program
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: going to compete for that championship? And I think you're
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: starting to see that. Coach Mitchell talked about it. When
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: they went from four eight to five A. Yeah, they
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: were competitive, but they were competitive only for a year
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: or two before they had to jump. Another problem that
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: this school had, I think from the very beginning is, yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you had a lot of rooftops out here, you didn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: have a lot of businesses. They were having to go
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to Madison to collect the money from the businesses and
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: from the fundraising. And it's funny you go to Jaguar
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Territory and you say, hey, guys, we'd love to have
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you as a partner as a sponsor, and they're looking
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: at you like, man, we're Madison Central. It's like, well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: we still do business here because we don't have anything. Right,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: that's changed now you actually have a city now it's incorporated.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So many growing pains, but you're right, the commitment has
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: already been there. It's been there from the beginning, but
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: they had to go through those growing pains. And now
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you're starting to see the dividends flash before eyes looking
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: down at the stadium, over at the locker room, the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: weight room, and that's big when you have people moving
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: in to work at the NIS signs and work at
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: some of these big corporations and manufacturers. That's what they're
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: looking at.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Jared Show's played by Playboys Sterman Time Mavericks on your
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: radio Tuesday edition of the program. Yeah, and you reference
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to growing pains, and you know, just the time here
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and I'm looking first team was nineteen ninety one and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a coach, Tim Shramick was obviously a big part of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that starting that out. We love coach and you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you look at you know, state playoff championships in football
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: ninety nine and twenty twenty one. But the growth is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: so expansive here. It fact like you're always always playing
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: catch up.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's it's finally starting to slow down.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: The game is slowing down like it is for a
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: freshman quarterback that's going It's kind of for this program.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Tim Traman did a great job when you didn't have
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of businesses it was all residential houses. Of
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: figuring out how do you fundraise? That's got to be
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: number one. He was able to do that, had some
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: pretty good teams. And then he hands the baton off
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: to Greg Perry, who did a great job as athletic director,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and they brought Russell Mitchell in and I think he
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: was definitely the guy to take it to the next level.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He's made the playoffs every year except for his first year.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Depending on who you asked Jake last year maybe a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: referee call or a player too. They could have been
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: division champs. So they finished second and because of that,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: they ran into Tupelo in the second round and only
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: lost by a touchdown to them. So this is a
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: team that you know, I know, they lost lot. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: lost a lot and that's why I think they're flying
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: under the radar this year. But looking at this squad
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: this year, uh, they do. They do return a lot
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of key pieces. If you're gonna lose. I think it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: eighty let's see, eighty two percent of their offensive ninety
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: two percent of their offensive production. The places you do
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: want to return some guys is the offensive line. So
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that's a place where I think they can really lean
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and help on these these young skill guys quarterbacks, wide
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: receivers and running backs. But this is a team flying
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: under the radar this year. I think Russell Mitchell likes that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I'm a big Russ Mitchell fan, you know, coming from
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Oak Grove, and I can remember when he came out
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: of Oak Grove. Because we're always looking for the next
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: big stuck. It doesn't matter college football, right, who's the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: next Kurt Signette, who's the next this guy, the next
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban or the next young coach NFL, who's the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: next suit? We do it here in high school football,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: right because people say, well, you look around the state
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and if you need a coach, you go, well, where
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: are we gonna go? Who are gonna go? Get? Comes from
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the nevill bar Tree, you know down there in Oak Grove,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: comes from uh you know, Drew. Can we know how
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: good Oak Grove is? I mean they won state championships,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: They played for Stiate. I thought when Germantown hired him,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I thought, uh oh, that's a really really good hire
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: coming to the central Missippi area.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Well look at the pedigree you just said it, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you look at their success. I would say the last
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five years, Oak Grove I would say is
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: probably top fifteen, if not top ten. Oh yeah, for
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: what they've done down there in Haddisburg. So and I
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: like his pedigree going back to Picky Un when he
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: played there, yep, quarterback there and then and then he
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: was obviously a juco quarterback, and we know how they
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: run the football and Pickyun and then they threw it
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: all over the place when he was a college quarterback
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you know down there, you know, uh, in South Mississippi.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: So it's it's one of those things where coach Russell
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Mitchell has the pedigree of he knows how to run
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the football and he knows how to throw it. And
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: then he went and he joins the group in Oak
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Grove and Causey and Neville Barr and coming behind those guys,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and I mean it was a recipe for you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I actually shock nobody got in before Germantown did because
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I mean the riding was on the wall of his pedigree,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: his background of what he could do offensively, and you
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: look at it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He said at.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Forty two points a ball game last year that topped
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: all of seven A. And I know they want to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: get better on the defensive side, giving up twenty five
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: points a ball game last year, But this is a
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: team that offensively, I don't think that's ever going to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: be a problem. I think it's going to be reload
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: this year. It's just going to be, you know, how
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: fast can they get these young guys up to par
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: get them some experience, some snaps, some reps, let the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: game slow down, as we talked about, and lean on
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: this big offensive line.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: The region that you play in very very tough. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: we'll go through the schedule here in a minute. But
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: when you talk about Starkville, they're under new leadership with
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Rob Morgan. You look at Madison Central right down the road,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Clinton Murra's back in the division regions of this past year, Oxford,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you know somebody's going to miss the playoff. That's probably
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a good team.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely every year, I would say the last two years,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I think it goes back and forth between District three
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and District two. I'd say the last couple of years,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: District two has definitely been tougher, especially two years ago
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: with Tupelo. They left last year. But there are no gimmes.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Murrah's trying to step up to the play,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: but other than that, you're gonna play Oxford Madison Central
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: hate Germantown got them for the first time ever last year.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a huge stepping stone for this program
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: to finally beat Madison Central, get the monkey off their back.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And then you've got start ball blue blood of blue Bloods,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: and that is a program that's going through a Transition's
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: gonna be interesting to see kind of what happens with
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: their offensive philosophy. With Brett Morgan now coming from West
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Point to start.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I thank you, Brett, I said Rob, I always missed
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: missed a lot of Morgan's there is and they're all
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: good guys, and they're all good football players and good
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: football coach, So no no shame in that.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Brett Morgan going to to start, what was
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: gonna be interesting talking with you, talking with coach Mitchell
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and this Germantown staff. They said, that's kind of the
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: wild card game this year that you need to win.

  Speaker 3: to just outside thoughts Artille may have lost their physicality
