[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome sports fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for sports and beyond with Michelle Garmin.
0:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Michelle talked with Tipton running back Zayndurham after his record setting performance on Friday and the Blue Devils win over Benton Central over 400 yards of offense and 8 touchdowns a new record Michelle tell us about it.
0:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a monster night for Zander him 12 total touches on offense, 400 and 2 yards, and the 8-10 sh downs are record on.
0:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He broke.
0:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not very good at math Michelle, but that's a lot of yards per touch.
0:48
[SPEAKER_00]: That is, it's over 30 yards, let's start with this.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He carried the ball 11 times for school record 348 yards.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: That eclipse the record set by Matt King, and 1999, a 343 yards.
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt got, he had four Russian touchdowns in his performance.
1:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Zain had seven.
1:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt took 25 carries and that came in a win at North Davies Greg I made that trip all the way down and after North Davies that game was over I wrote my I called in my story to Ed because you know I was a little bit 1999 we didn't have the capability to
1:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and then I hopped in my car and I drove all the way to Cleveland, oh, I helped make this help my sister and brother look because they were moving, um, he was in the service and they moved in there.
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So I spent a long week in, um, it was quite the journey.
1:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And for those of you who don't know North Davies is in the opposite direction from Cleveland, Ohio.
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is.
1:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in the south, west corner of Indiana and everybody knows Cleveland's in the northeast corner of Ohio.
2:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but anyway, but yeah, that was quite a performance by Matt, but Zane was just phenomenal.
2:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He got close to the record.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So they gave it to him, and after he picked it up, he knew where he had to go Aaron said, hey, this is where this is the yard line you need to get to.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, and he did, and he stopped and he took a knee.
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He could have scored.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that play where he got the record and he took the knee and he could have easily scored his ninth touchdown.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It all of that great.
2:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I forgot to mention he also ran in for a two-point conversion.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So he had 50 of it.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of for 50 of it.
2:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in 69 points less Friday night.
2:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's quite remarkable.
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just didn't do his performance enough.
3:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He's on defense.
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a total of seven tackles five solos.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a tack for a loss.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He recovered a fumble and broke up a pass.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was quite a Friday night and I mean, he's worked so hard and I discussed that with him a little bit about what he did between last season and this season and the conditioning because you know, first.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: a few weeks in the season have been like playing in the summer.
3:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it has been so hot.
3:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's very, I think he and probably every high school football team player in state of Indiana is looking forward to the cooler temperatures this week and this Friday night.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He also had that 54-yard pass reception.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about it all.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a great interview.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Zane is a very great kid.
3:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He is a great kid.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's just listen to the interview with Zane.
4:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well, Zane, tell me about your performance on Friday night.
4:11
[SPEAKER_00]: What a night for you.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly going into that game,
4:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even have that high expectations for myself.
4:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking we were gonna, it was gonna be just a kind of spread the ball around, get some passing going, but goodness.
4:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It just felt like every single time I touched the ball, it, I just found some green grass and just ran with it.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, the whole's massive.
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: open pretty big.
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, 12 touches, 400 and two yards, 400 and two yards of total offense is impressive.
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But just doing that in just four touches is even more impressive.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, 12.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing that in just 12 touches.
4:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't have done that with out my line.
4:57
[SPEAKER_01]: They were just a electric that night.
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd continue to just keep giving them props for every single whole day to open up.
5:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just always told them getting me a
5:09
[SPEAKER_01]: past the line and I'll go score something and originally I went up to my offensive coordinator Dustin Sheer and I said, hey, if you need you to first down or touch down, you can just give me the ball.
5:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I got you tonight.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: That is Pan at 385 yards.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you have a clue that you were getting close to that number?
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I had no clue.
5:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, when I get in the game, I just kind of tune
5:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I just start playing and it didn't even once crossed my mind until I had somebody come up to me and go, hey, you're 20 yards from break in the school rushing record in a single game.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, oh my goodness.
5:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I score my eight touchdown, and somebody goes up and said, you just broke the touchdown record for a single game.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was, I just, I didn't even know.
6:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It was insane.
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just, I'm just so blessed.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: That was KJ Roundabout.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: She's touchdown record you broke.
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I was in the eighth and I missed yours on Friday night.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I was there when he when he did the seven.
6:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sorry.
6:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I missed Friday night, but man, I'll tell you I missed.
6:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think an electric performance, but you've rushed since that first game.
6:26
[SPEAKER_00]: You've surpassed 200 yards twice 100 yards and now 300 and 300 yards.
6:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm guessing that you feeling pretty good this season.
6:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm feeling amazing.
6:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I can do without my line or my coaching staff may support me and I'm just so blessed for them and I'm just ready to keep it rolling aim for a thousand and after after this this week that run to do you know then when you eclipse it because I saw the video on Facebook.
7:02
[SPEAKER_00]: of your run and then you got there and you could have scored easily another touchdown, but you took a knee.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm guessing you kind of had an idea then how many yards you'd run and then just took the knee?
7:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, personally going into the last drive that I was and my offensive coordinator, Dustin Sheerie came up to me and he goes, you're 20 yards away from breaking the
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He goes, I just want you to know how special it is.
7:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And he said, go have fun with this last drive.
7:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And I went out there.
7:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Just I was like, I'm going to make the best of this opportunity.
7:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And I knew I had to roughly get past about the 50.
7:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, I broke it out.
7:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I could have easily gotten a touchdown.
7:52
[SPEAKER_01]: But I chose to take the honorable way.
7:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my reps.
7:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got my rushing yards.
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my touchdowns for the night.
8:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that is very commendable of you and it's gonna say, you know, normally you have 400 and some combined yards of offense and then what you do what you did on defense and I would say you would be your body, you had to be pretty sore and pretty tired, but you really didn't need a lot of touches to do that.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So take it, maybe Saturday morning wasn't that rough on you?
8:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't too bad.
8:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Had a couple little scratches up on the arms here and there, but honestly, it just felt like my legs, I could have, I came off the field after that last drive where I took a knee and I went up to one of my coaches and said, hey, I could have done two more quarters if you needed me.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was just so electric that night.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: What have you done between last season and this season?
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Because don't get me wrong because I was really impressed
9:00
[SPEAKER_00]: but you've stepped up your game to a whole other level.
9:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So tell me about your offseason.
9:07
[SPEAKER_01]: My offseason consisted of a lot of things in the spring and winter.
9:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, winter, I started doing weight training every three days a week with my trainer down in Carmel.
9:18
[SPEAKER_01]: His name is Isaiah Obiora, and he was a former colts player.
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really started investing my time into him and he really helped me overall with
9:29
[SPEAKER_01]: getting my acceleration, my speed, my endurance, and just overall getting my legs more powerful.
9:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I moved into track season and ended up breaking a few school records in the four by one and the four by two with a couple of my really good buddies.
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And going into the off season for football, I really just invested my time and going to football camps,
9:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I could from these amazing coaches and even in my free time, I would always go out in the field, maybe once or twice a week, just get a little bit of footwork and just throw on the ball to myself, working on my hands for about an hour, hour and a half and go home, hydrate, watch some film on last season and then get ready for my football practice with my with my real guys.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: here you are running back in your fast running back in a powerful running back, but then you play linebacker, which is a very demanding physical position on the defense to and you're doing that an admirable job on both sides of the football.
10:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Playing linebacker and running back, it definitely gets pretty tiring in those rough and tough games where you really got to grind it out to get that win, but
10:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I could say the same thing about my defenses, my offense.
10:56
[SPEAKER_01]: We're really starting to gel together, and I feel like we're starting to really understand where we are on defense, and I just try to make plays and then go back on offense and make some more plays.
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course for you guys, you have a challenging, next couple of weeks, probably back to back the, what I would consider the two favorites,
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: to win the who's your conference.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: We are traveling to Logan's port on Friday and then the following Friday, I believe you're hosting to one next.
11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I'm very, very excited.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Our team hasn't had very many challenges this season and I feel like this is a good test to really show what our team is capable of.
11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: We've shown that our offense is very capable of scoring points
11:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like this is our first defensive test to show that our guys can be as physical as Logan sport or twin legs and that our guys can cover and make big plays when they need to and I'm just really excited to see what we're going to do on this Friday and next Friday one was practice like the week.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: prior to the been central game after the the first loss against Hamilton Heights.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've always said as long as you learn something from a loss, I don't think necessarily there's a way such a thing as a bad loss unless you're we're like North Carolina states quarterback who just didn't go down and get the safety against Vanderbilt, but you know, but yeah, I'm
12:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, coming out of that loss, it definitely stung a bit.
12:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It, I've definitely feel like it was a reality check because football is unpredictable.
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: You can, the game can change within minutes.
12:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And coming out of that loss of week four, we came into this week hungry.
13:00
[SPEAKER_01]: We wanted to make our impression felt and it was a good reality check.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: hungry and we want more wins.
13:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to make it deep into this tournament and we are just ready for what's ahead of us.
13:15
[SPEAKER_00]: From what you've seen all filming, I know it's just Monday but knowing you and your performances, I'm guessing you've already started preparing for Logan's Port by watching film.
13:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, I was watching film from Saturday Sunday and Monday through the school day.
13:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Any three time I had, I've throw up film,
13:38
[SPEAKER_01]: See what I can pick up in a weaknesses or anything.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So what's going to be the most challenging thing in your opinion about low and support both, their defense and their offense.
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: What's challenging about them?
13:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Starting on offense, they have a very dynamic backfield.
13:57
[SPEAKER_01]: They got three really good, just overall players that are able to run the ball and they like to run the ball hard and fast.
14:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, I feel like if we can try and contain them and try and push them inside and keep them from those little outside pitches or sweeps, I feel like we will have as a very successful night against them.
14:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Defensively, I feel like their middle linebacker gameplay is phenomenal, they're super aggressive.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a knack for going for the ball.
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, there's the secondary is also very phenomenal.
14:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But it just honestly comes down to us to have that confidence going into the game.
14:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like we can put up a good fight against them.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna guess you're glad to see the weather is cooling off this week.
14:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my goodness, yes, I am.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It has been, I've been waiting for this since week one.
14:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't get me wrong, I left some good warm weather,
15:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It is, I love those 65 and 70 degree Friday nights.
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the best kind of weather.
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, well, thank you, Zayna.
15:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll let you go now, so you're studying, get to get a good night's sleep, get a big week ahead of you.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So thank you again, and congratulations again on your performance on Friday night.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I, that's quite an accomplishment.
15:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much.
15:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Have a good rest of your night.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Please check out Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of our week 5 recap of Central Indiana High School football, only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you heard, Zayng was a big night for him, but he gave a lot of credit to his offensive line in his teammates.
15:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we said, there was a mismatch all over the field for sure.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but you know, great.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You've seen him on tape and then you saw him the night.
16:00
[SPEAKER_00]: They played central Catholic.
16:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He's running through tax.
16:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been so much fun to watch.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He's one of the biggest backs.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Tipped and set some great running backs.
16:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But at six, two, and a hundred, around 180, 190 pounds, he's just big, strong kid, and with speed.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But to code a Garmin also had a,
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: touchdown reception.
16:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Quintole, he didn't have to do a whole lot on Friday night.
16:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Five of eight passing two touchdowns over a hundred yards.
16:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think he carried the ball.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So, it should be a little bit fresh on the offensive end because I'm going to guess against Logan's port.
16:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He will have to or be required to do more because Logan's ports are very good teams.
16:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I talked about Logan's port and challenged.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They present towards
16:49
[SPEAKER_00]: fortune upcoming in the weapons they have, I think the blue devils have.
16:56
[SPEAKER_00]: are kind of look forward to that challenge.
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they felt like that they started to get that defense turned around against, but central, they're going to get to find out if they really have improved the last two weeks when they go to Logan's portal Friday.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be their toughest game to date and they get to follow it up with another tough game when they host twin lengths the following Friday.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So, make two weeks for the blue doubles, big two weeks.
17:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Also want to mention Michelle that on our weekly recap show.
17:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Zane was a finalist for player of the week, so you're going to want to check that out in part four, which is coming out on Wednesday morning just after this one Michelle.
17:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much for your time and there's a lot more sports and beyond with Michelle Garmin coming.
17:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We have coming up as girls golf regional recap of sports beyond.
17:51

18:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought we have some good representation going on to this coming Saturday's lapel regional that will be played at the edge, which is edge where edge would golf club there in Anderson.
