- 3:08Speaker 3: They said, an all time enrollment record, they did.

- 3:10Speaker 3: Build new dorms.
- 3:11Speaker 5: It is they are rolling.

- 3:19Speaker 2: Been here my whole life and it's not supportive event that.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I have ever been to watch basketball.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Men's basketball is a riot.
- 3:26Speaker 5: You know what.
- 3:27Speaker 2: I'd love to I really would, and I may do it,
- 3:29Speaker 2: but I'm gonna have to wear headphones.
- 3:31Speaker 5: It is so loud.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I I mean, there's ten people in there and it
- 3:35Speaker 2: sounds like there's ten thousand here.
- 3:36Speaker 4: You're right, they need to do something about that. That's
- 3:38Speaker 4: that's an issue or not. Maybe that's the advantage. Well,
- 3:41Speaker 4: I don't like loud venues like well, like you go
- 3:43Speaker 4: to a basketball game, they played their music so loud.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I never understood that you can't even talk to the person.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You not ever go to the old Phillips gymnasium.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I did, He said, rep sounds like an old here.
- 3:55Speaker 5: I just don't like it.
- 3:55Speaker 2: This is the first time I've really seen him, you know,
- 3:58Speaker 2: start on his age.
- 4:00Speaker 4: If you pull the people that are at basketball games
- 4:04Speaker 4: and said is this music too loud?
- 4:07Speaker 2: They would agree.
- 4:07Speaker 5: The majority would agree it is too loud. Turn it down.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Do you think the music's too loud at Brown football games?
- 4:14Speaker 5: No, I've never noticed it. Be hones with that's great, and.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Brown basketball game is a little bit different now, I
- 4:20Speaker 2: haven't noticed. I mean it's it's loud. Holy smokes.
- 4:23Speaker 5: Yeah, you go to some of these basketball gyms and like,
- 4:25Speaker 5: what are you people doing? Knock it off? Yeah, it's ridiculous.
- 4:29Speaker 1: I you know, if we're talking pet peeves and basketball gyms,
- 4:33Speaker 1: having the pet band at a gym is a great
- 4:37Speaker 1: sounds good. Yeah, but there are several of our conference
- 4:40Speaker 1: mates where the whole marching band.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, yes, that way.
- 4:46Speaker 1: It's weird for a high school gym, it's weird. It's wait,
- 4:49Speaker 1: I mean, it would be too much for a college gymp. Sure,
- 4:51Speaker 1: but you're cramming in a band that's two three times
- 4:55Speaker 1: bigger than not to be in a gym. It's already
- 4:57Speaker 1: not that big, like a wasp broken arrow Jinks actually
- 5:02Speaker 1: more like a Wasso and Jinks of the two that
- 5:04Speaker 1: come to mind. They have their whole marching bands there.
- 5:07Speaker 1: It's not fun.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Well, we can't talk about basketball yet, folks.
- 5:10Speaker 4: We need to get to the football game because we're
- 5:12Speaker 4: playing some playoff games.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Here we go, playoff, here we go.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Yeah, seven teams I believe O Sage, Washington Nowada Counties
- 5:19Speaker 1: or postseason bound. We won't pick a Woodland, but I
- 5:23Speaker 1: don't want to forget our friends in Fairfax who are
- 5:25Speaker 1: in the uh the A one postseason, Well.
- 5:29Speaker 5: Let's go ahead and pick them. I can see.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take Woodland, all right.
- 5:35Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.
- 5:35Speaker 2: In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you something.
- 5:37Speaker 2: I want Woodland for the next three weeks. Three weeks.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I don't know who they play, but it doesn't matter
- 5:42Speaker 1: that pretty quickly. But yeah, I'm excited about Woodlands.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna quote my good buddy Craig was Miller here
- 5:48Speaker 2: when I tell you this doesn't matter.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Yeah, that's accurate. It probably doesn't matter Woodland.
- 5:55Speaker 3: We'll see if he's listening to the show, reff.
- 5:57Speaker 5: I mean we just said it doesn't matter.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I know, but I still want to know. Are they
- 6:01Speaker 1: a two? Maybe they're a two. I don't see them
- 6:03Speaker 1: in A one. I can't remember.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Let's just getting out Woodland is the same district as Barnsdale.
- 6:09Speaker 1: But yeah, that would be A two. Then, uh.
- 6:16Speaker 6: So they're gonna play out they played Gore Gore, and
- 6:19Speaker 6: then they get the winner of Mangham Kanawa if they win,
- 6:24Speaker 6: and then uh reach it prep Ringling and Moreland or
- 6:28Speaker 6: the other teams in there all the way three weeks.
- 6:31Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty wild with these smaller classifications now that
- 6:35Speaker 1: we can get into it. How I mean, because you're
- 6:37Speaker 1: used to A and two way being so large, you
- 6:41Speaker 1: had to win several games to get into the semis.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I mean, you win one game, you're in the final eight.
- 6:46Speaker 1: You're in the quarters. Everybody's in the quarters once you
- 6:49Speaker 1: win one game, now, which is unusual.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Over by Tallequah south of Taalaquah around it's north of Sallasava. Yeah,
- 7:05Speaker 2: okay over there.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Well, we got six ball games. We're going to pick
- 7:08Speaker 1: on a playoff finish on to Telgate Talk and speaking
- 7:11Speaker 1: of A two, let's go to Barnesdall. First. Panthers finish
- 7:15Speaker 1: out the season at six and four. They finished fourth
- 7:18Speaker 1: in Class A two District four. They will be at
- 7:22Speaker 1: Tallahena on Friday night. Barnesdall beat Porter thirty five to
- 7:26Speaker 1: fourteen during the Panthers regular season finale last week. Barnsdall
- 7:31Speaker 1: at a thirty five nothing lead in the first quarter
- 7:33Speaker 1: of that game. Tallahena is nine and one. They went
- 7:37Speaker 1: six and one in Class A two District three. They
- 7:41Speaker 1: won a three way tie over Regent Prep and sallasav
- 7:45Speaker 1: Via point so Regent Preps Sallasa and Tallahena all went
- 7:49Speaker 1: six and one in their district. Tallaheena skipped by a
- 7:54Speaker 1: Regent Prep by four points to win the tiebreaker and
- 7:57Speaker 1: get that one seed. Two teams do have a i'm
- 8:00Speaker 1: an opponent. The Golden Tigers of Tallaheena beat Porter in
- 8:04Speaker 1: non district play forty four to twenty five. If you
- 8:07Speaker 1: missed it earlier, Barnsdall beat Porter week ten, thirty five fourteen.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I'm a feeling might have been a different Porter team
- 8:14Speaker 1: after the brawl deal or whatever, but Barnsdall in port
- 8:19Speaker 1: into Tallaheena beat Porter by similar margins anyway. Eight man
- 8:23Speaker 1: past four years, Barnsdall has three first round losses. Lost
- 8:26Speaker 1: the Regent Prep in twenty twenty and then Wlitka the
- 8:29Speaker 1: past two seasons. Panthers did not make the postseason in
- 8:32Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Tallahena has beaten Barnsdall in the playoffs
- 8:37Speaker 1: three times. They beat Barnsdall in the first round of
- 8:39Speaker 1: both the twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen postseasons, and they
- 8:44Speaker 1: beat Barnsdall in the second round of the nineteen eighty
- 8:46Speaker 1: nine playoffs as well, So this is the fourth time
- 8:49Speaker 1: Barnsdall has played Tallaheena in the past thirty five years
- 8:54Speaker 1: of high school football playoffs. Barnsdall at Tallahena.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Well, start, I want to start by saying how proud
- 9:02Speaker 2: we are of the Fighting Stashes this season.
- 9:06Speaker 5: You know, it has it.
- 9:10Speaker 2: They had a lot they were dealing with coming into
- 9:13Speaker 2: this football season. Let's be honest.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Uh, Their community, you know, took took a real hit
- 9:19Speaker 3: from that tornado.
- 9:20Speaker 1: And I want to say one more thing. I forgot
- 9:22Speaker 1: that I did not put my notes before you pick. Sure,
- 9:25Speaker 1: I wanted to have this information before you pick. Easton
- 9:27Speaker 1: Malone is going to play in this game? Well, he
- 9:30Speaker 1: played on senior night, no way a little bit, and
- 9:32Speaker 1: he supposedly I've heard, is going to play in this game.
- 9:35Speaker 1: That's cool. I've heard that's a rumor. I don't think
- 9:38Speaker 1: I heard that out of Kylie Sweeney's mouth, but I've heard
- 9:40Speaker 1: that friends about the.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool. Good for him.
- 9:42Speaker 2: Well, and that may make the game closer. But but
- 9:46Speaker 2: Barsdal has really, you know, turned it around this season.
- 9:49Speaker 2: They had a rough start, but but they have They've
- 9:54Speaker 2: had a good season. Six and four with what they
- 9:56Speaker 2: were dealing with and losing a bunch of guys and
- 9:59Speaker 2: all that they had a really good season. Tallaheen is
- 10:02Speaker 2: really good and losing to reach a prep is no,
- 10:06Speaker 2: you know, nothing to shrug your shoulders about. Tallaheen is
- 10:10Speaker 2: gonna win this game, and Barnsdall shouldn't, you know, shouldn't
- 10:14Speaker 2: worry about that a whole lot now. If they win
- 10:16Speaker 2: it and this Cinderella story continues, that's going to be amazing.
- 10:20Speaker 2: But my head says that Tallaheen is gonna win, and
- 10:23Speaker 2: I want to congratulate Barnsdall on a great season, especially
- 10:26Speaker 2: stepping up in class and and they should they should
- 10:29Speaker 2: be looking good heading into next year. But it's this
- 10:32Speaker 2: is I think where their season ends this week. Yeah,
- 10:35Speaker 2: that's you.
- 10:35Speaker 4: I agree one hundred percent that. You know, this has
- 10:37Speaker 4: been a tough season for the Panthers as far as
- 10:42Speaker 4: you know, what they had to go through, and their
- 10:45Speaker 4: kids responded well, their coaches responded well. So much respect
- 10:49Speaker 4: for coach Swiney and and his program.
- 10:51Speaker 5: What he's done.
- 10:52Speaker 4: You know, not only did they have to go through
- 10:54Speaker 4: the terrible tornado, they also you know, had to jump
- 10:58Speaker 4: up a class in eleven man.
- 10:59Speaker 5: We talked about early in the season.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Now we thought it would be better for them, And
- 11:04Speaker 2: I don't know, I'd love to talk to coach Wing
- 11:07Speaker 2: and get his thoughts on it. Six and four for them,
- 11:10Speaker 2: that's that's not a bad year at all. That's a
- 11:13Speaker 2: really good season. But and they lost a couple of
- 11:16Speaker 2: close games, not to mention their best players. They lost
- 11:19Speaker 2: him and several others.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Ambulances every game, yeah.
- 11:23Speaker 2: I mean, good night every week. It seemed like something.
- 11:25Speaker 4: But you know, those kids battle through adversity and they
- 11:28Speaker 4: continue to win in eleven man their first time up
- 11:32Speaker 4: in eleven You gotta understand, these kids have never played
- 11:35Speaker 4: eleven man.
- 11:36Speaker 5: I mean they've been down an eight man.
- 11:37Speaker 1: For the last what since twenty twenty was their first
- 11:41Speaker 1: year back in eleven.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Okay, and revok, look at the teams they lost to.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I mean it's a murderer's row.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, I mean twenty twenty was their first
- 11:49Speaker 1: year back in eight man.
- 11:50Speaker 5: Sorry, yeah, yeah, we knew what you meant.
- 11:51Speaker 4: Yeah, so some of these kids have never even played
- 11:54Speaker 4: eleven ban football.
- 11:55Speaker 5: Yeah, they've they've been.
- 11:56Speaker 1: At twenty I was five years ago. The last time
- 11:58Speaker 1: they were eleven.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Why right, right, So you know they're playing a Tallaheena,
- 12:03Speaker 4: which you know, guys.
- 12:04Speaker 5: They've they've only given up one touchdown.
- 12:07Speaker 4: In six of their ten games. That's pretty impressive, my goodness.
- 12:12Speaker 4: So they're obviously really good defensively. I think this game
- 12:16Speaker 4: is going to be a lot closer than what we
- 12:18Speaker 4: would think it would be. I mean, if you just
- 12:19Speaker 4: look at the scores and stuff and look at records
- 12:22Speaker 4: and who's played who, and you know, you would think
- 12:24Speaker 4: that Tallaheena is going to go blow them out. But
- 12:26Speaker 4: that's not going to happen in this case. I wish
- 12:29Speaker 4: that this was a game maybe that was porn down
- 12:30Speaker 4: raining like it was last week, right, you know, something
- 12:33Speaker 4: crazy happened, turnovers and things like that. But I really
- 12:36Speaker 4: think coach Sweny's gonna have his kids ready, He's probably
- 12:39Speaker 4: gonna come out with some trick plays.
- 12:41Speaker 2: And and go forward on time.
- 12:43Speaker 4: So he shouldn't go for it and you know, take
- 12:45Speaker 4: some chances and that's what he's got to do, so
- 12:48Speaker 4: just sell out and see what happens.
- 12:49Speaker 2: But you know, I would.
- 12:50Speaker 4: Agree that I my my heart really wants to pick
- 12:55Speaker 4: the Panther mean too.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I mean bad.
- 12:58Speaker 4: But if I had to go to Vegas, I would
- 12:59Speaker 4: probably go ahead and take on this game.
- 13:03Speaker 1: You think you can get Barnsdall Tallahina at the window
- 13:05Speaker 1: at the rio.
- 13:06Speaker 5: Maybe probably spread on.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Have you, either of you guys, ever been to Tallahena?
- 13:10Speaker 2: No, uh, no, I did.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I don't remember which one, either that twenty sixteen or
- 13:16Speaker 1: seventeen Barnsdall game in Tallahena. We sold it, drove down
- 13:21Speaker 1: there and did it. And of course you know what
- 13:23Speaker 1: part of the state that's that's in. It's it's very
- 13:25Speaker 1: well south of here, it's near y uh. It's a
- 13:27Speaker 1: different world down there. I mean, the last hour of
- 13:30Speaker 1: that drive is like when you're driving through northwest Arkansas,
- 13:35Speaker 1: like if you're going to Urka Springs or or whatever.
- 13:38Speaker 1: The last hour of the drive is almost exactly like that.
- 13:40Speaker 1: You're just winding back in the hills and there's trees
- 13:43Speaker 1: or whatever, and and and I remember it was the
- 13:46Speaker 1: same type of years week. Woah, the playoffs and those
- 13:48Speaker 1: trees are mighty pretty down there now. And that that's
- 13:51Speaker 1: a trip.
- 13:52Speaker 3: You see any cock fighting down there, I did.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Not see any cockby happens it's legal now, right, Yeah,
- 13:57Speaker 1: Southeast Southeast Oklahoma is Differes.
- 14:00Speaker 5: It is.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I mean it really it was like you you were
- 14:02Speaker 1: driving and it's like you can't believe you're in Oklahoma.
- 14:05Speaker 1: It feels like you're in Arkansas to me more than
- 14:08Speaker 1: it does you're in Oklahoma.
- 14:09Speaker 2: I've got a good old buddy from Adam Bell and
- 14:11Speaker 2: you don't mess around with Idambill.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well Barnsdall, tallaheena, good luck to the Panthers.
- 14:17Speaker 1: On Friday night. Let's go to eight man football.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Wesley and Christian School at Covington Douglas Mustangs lost to
- 14:24Speaker 1: Wilson last week, seventy to twenty. It was a run
- 14:28Speaker 1: roll loss, but they scored twenty points. Wilson had not
- 14:32Speaker 1: given up a point. They'd shot out everyone in their
- 14:35Speaker 1: four previous district wins. With that loss, Mustangs end up
- 14:39Speaker 1: going two and three in Class B two District four
- 14:43Speaker 1: against the fourth place. They went two and eight overall.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Covington Douglas is undefeated ten and oh five and zero
- 14:49Speaker 1: in the district. Wesley and Christian Schools won a game
- 14:53Speaker 1: last two years. In the playoffs. Covington Douglas has had
- 14:56Speaker 1: a first round exit in two of the past three appearances.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Covin douglas undefeated record gave them the one seed in
- 15:03Speaker 1: B two District three. Covington Douglas looking for its first
- 15:07Speaker 1: semi final appearance. It's twenty ten. Two previous matchups there
- 15:10Speaker 1: were district mates in two thousand and eight, two thousand
- 15:13Speaker 1: and nine. Covington Douglas beat the Mustangs in both those matchups.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Wesley and Christian School at Covington Douglas in the B
- 15:21Speaker 1: two playoffs.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Well, boys, this one, I have a feeling is gonna hurt.
- 15:27Speaker 2: It looks like this Covington Douglas team is really good
- 15:30Speaker 2: and man Wesleyan has you know, especially at the end
- 15:35Speaker 2: of the season, really battled for a couple of wins.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Proud of those kids for coming together for those and
- 15:41Speaker 2: then it just really stinks that they had to face
- 15:44Speaker 2: Wilson for that last game because Wilson.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Is really, really good.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Orge stinks they went to and eight and they got
- 15:50Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
- 15:50Speaker 5: Well that's true, you know too and eight going to
- 15:53Speaker 5: State two and eight and not going to State, we're
- 15:56Speaker 5: going to playoffs.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Well it's gonna it's gonna end this way, and at
- 16:00Speaker 2: halftime and just look.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Forward to next year.
- 16:03Speaker 2: And again we talked about Big Wesleyan wesleyand Christian School
- 16:08Speaker 2: is also really rolling.
- 16:10Speaker 3: They're enrollment his way up.
- 16:11Speaker 2: They're talking about new facilities and stuff, and that's awesome. Yeah,
- 16:15Speaker 2: we need a really strong, good private school option here
- 16:20Speaker 2: in Bartlesville, and they've got it and their athletics are
- 16:23Speaker 2: really improving. So proud of them, and just start looking
- 16:27Speaker 2: down the road to next year. Do what you got
- 16:28Speaker 2: to do in the off season and get ready.
- 16:31Speaker 4: You know, Warfield Westling's kind of like Barnstall. They battle
- 16:34Speaker 4: through some injuries this year and they still have you know,
- 16:37Speaker 4: two or three guys who started at the beginning of
- 16:39Speaker 4: the year that are out right now and we'll not
- 16:42Speaker 4: finish the year. So they had to battle and you
- 16:46Speaker 4: know it's tough. Andever you've only got sixteen kids and
- 16:49Speaker 4: you lose too, especially starters. That's that's hard. Not only
- 16:52Speaker 4: is it hard for games, it's hard for practice. You know,
- 16:54Speaker 4: you don't have that many kids to practice, so and
- 16:57Speaker 4: you don't want them beating up on each other and
- 16:58Speaker 4: all that. But I want to tell you something, Bat.
- 17:01Speaker 4: You weren't in here for this, but Evan and I
- 17:05Speaker 4: before the show, we got to talk about Covington Douglas
- 17:08Speaker 4: and I said, Evan, who's the head coach there? He
- 17:11Speaker 4: looked it up and Brian Smith.
- 17:13Speaker 5: You remember a.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Few weeks ago we were talking about Covin Douglas and
- 17:16Speaker 4: I said, they came to do it. Yeah, when I
- 17:18Speaker 4: was there, a young kid from Benita wasn't head caball.
- 17:22Speaker 2: He's still the head football coach. Really, yeah he is,
- 17:24Speaker 2: Brian Smith.
- 17:25Speaker 1: It's two thousand and two.
- 17:26Speaker 3: You're kidding me.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Nope, he's still there.
- 17:29Speaker 1: So he's been with the districts.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Yeah, you said you talked to him and uh.
- 17:33Speaker 4: Was a great No, it was not that the wake. No,
- 17:37Speaker 4: I knew the kid when he was at Banda. Yeah
- 17:41Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, here the wake and then and then
- 17:43Speaker 4: he went out there. But I think there he's got
- 17:46Speaker 4: an old Vanita assistant coach over there name named Jarbo.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he's out there with him. I thought
- 17:53Speaker 2: maybe Jarbro.
- 17:53Speaker 5: That's what brought this up. I thought Jarbro was a
- 17:55Speaker 5: head coach.
- 17:56Speaker 2: I saw something from coach Roger Swafford, Hall of Fame
- 18:00Speaker 2: baseball coach over over.
- 18:02Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I know you to say whatever you want right now.
- 18:03Speaker 2: And he posted something on Facebook not call him.
- 18:05Speaker 4: About about Jarbo really and congratulating him on being ten
- 18:09Speaker 4: and oh.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Not Jarbo, you're kidding. Yes, see here's here's Jarbo is
- 18:16Speaker 2: like Madonna or Share. It's just Jarbo. He's a good dude.
- 18:19Speaker 1: He's a good coach.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Here's the thing you need to know about this conversation
- 18:24Speaker 1: batch that coach Revard and I had before he got here.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I was doing something working and he started talking about
- 18:29Speaker 1: Jarbok and I just looked at him and his nod
- 18:32Speaker 1: in my head. Yeah, I didn't know what and then
- 18:35Speaker 1: he had me looking up who coming to Douglas's coach
- 18:38Speaker 1: was Yeah, but I did not know you know who
- 18:40Speaker 1: Jarbo is? Of course not okay, I was thinking.
- 18:42Speaker 3: But he could have said I was just making He
- 18:44Speaker 3: could have said.
- 18:45Speaker 2: We know that I think Brian Smith is still the head.
- 18:47Speaker 2: You know what.
- 18:47Speaker 3: He could he could have said, you know, I'll tell
- 18:49Speaker 3: you guys a story.
- 18:50Speaker 2: You know. I think he's got an assistant coach over
- 18:53Speaker 2: there that is really well known named Flickerton. Yeah, over
- 18:58Speaker 2: there with him.
- 18:59Speaker 1: I would I wish you could see the video of
- 19:01Speaker 1: me listening to him.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Well, he did everything for me.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Google over there he looks at listeners, all right, man,
- 19:11Speaker 2: we couldn't live there.
- 19:12Speaker 5: That's fine here.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Well, Jarbo's gonna get a playoff win, okay, No, Brian Smith's.
- 19:18Speaker 4: Gonna get a bron Yeah, and so Jaro maybe I'm
- 19:20Speaker 4: gonna find out if he is, I'll find out.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Good luck to Jarba.
- 19:26Speaker 1: So you guys both picked coming to Douglas of course. Yeah,
- 19:29Speaker 1: that'll be a tough one. Mustangs have four seniors. I
- 19:32Speaker 1: don't think that there's any denying I know. I mean,
- 19:34Speaker 1: they beat the two teams in their schedule that they
- 19:37Speaker 1: ought to have beaten in our Coma and Gans. But
- 19:41Speaker 1: the twenty points against Wilson to me, really does signify
- 19:45Speaker 1: I think how much better that team got. Sure, And
- 19:48Speaker 1: talking with Blaine Landers, who was in his first season there,
- 19:52Speaker 1: he felt very strongly about that as well, that they
- 19:54Speaker 1: got a lot better. They've got four seniors this year
- 20:00Speaker 1: as of right now. They will have ten next year.
- 20:03Speaker 1: So there's ten guys in that junior class. You know,
- 20:06Speaker 1: they had low twenties out this year, and he said
- 20:08Speaker 1: there could be even more of that junior class coming
- 20:11Speaker 1: out next year. They could have eleven, twelve, thirteen seniors
- 20:14Speaker 1: next year.
- 20:14Speaker 2: You know, Evan, I just need to point out that
- 20:16Speaker 2: when Pahuska beat Canny Valley eighty four to twenty, I
- 20:19Speaker 2: pointed out that canny Valley scored twenty points and what
- 20:22Speaker 2: a big deal that was. And night Hawkin and coach
- 20:25Speaker 2: Revard made fun of me.
- 20:26Speaker 1: And if you recall, I pointed out they had not
- 20:28Speaker 1: scored that many since week two or something like that.
- 20:31Speaker 3: So here we are, and now you're backing me up
- 20:33Speaker 3: on this.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Well, yeah, well Wilson had given up a point. Yeah,
- 20:36Speaker 1: I mean they shut everyone out and want it.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Maybe we have some research results here.
- 20:41Speaker 2: We did look at that boys. Congratulations coach Steve Jarbo,
- 20:44Speaker 2: Covington Douglas football staff and players ten and zero.
- 20:48Speaker 5: There he is right there there.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna be honest, you Rev. You'll have disappointed.
- 20:53Speaker 2: He's agreed that he's got a first name, Steve. I'm sorry, man, Yeah,
- 20:57Speaker 2: I wanted to go to Jarbo. He's a good dame.
- 20:59Speaker 5: All right, okay, so what game are we talking about now? Copan?
- 21:04Speaker 5: Oh Copan?
- 21:05Speaker 1: Hey, whoa, whoa whoa?
- 21:07Speaker 5: Okay, oh, sorry.
- 21:09Speaker 1: You have that. Well you can read the notes if
- 21:10Speaker 1: you want. Yeah, but I wasn't. I wasn't done with West.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And oh sorry, go ahead, go and fish.
- 21:15Speaker 1: No. I said everything I once. I just I wanted
- 21:19Speaker 1: to point out that if we got eleven twelve seniors
- 21:22Speaker 1: next year, yeah, oh yeah, and they got so much
- 21:24Speaker 1: better at the end of this season, I think they
- 21:25Speaker 1: could be, you know, a middle of the pack or
- 21:27Speaker 1: better a district team. Yeah, all right, let's go to
- 21:32Speaker 1: Copin at home against Cherokee. This is the only football
- 21:35Speaker 1: game in Washington County on Friday night. Copin eight and
- 21:39Speaker 1: two after a big win last week at our coma blowout,
- 21:43Speaker 1: run roll win Cherokee is five and five. Hornets finished
- 21:47Speaker 1: up at second place behind Wilson in Class B two
- 21:51Speaker 1: District four. Copine finished out the regular season with that
- 21:55Speaker 1: forty six nothing win at our Coma. Last time Copan
- 21:59Speaker 1: won and hosted a playoff game was in two thousand
- 22:02Speaker 1: and eight. So first time in sixteen years that eight
- 22:06Speaker 1: copen team had a fourteen to nine win over Kiefer.
- 22:10Speaker 1: First time since eight and nine that Copin's been the playoffs,
- 22:14Speaker 1: and back to back years if you remember, the Hornet
- 22:16Speaker 1: stayed at the WinStar Casino and lost at Thackerville last
- 22:20Speaker 1: year fifty two to six. Cherokee did not make the playoffs.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Last year. Chiefs had three straight first round losses in
- 22:27Speaker 1: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. They were
- 22:30Speaker 1: a semi final team in twenty nineteen. I've not seen
- 22:33Speaker 1: where Copin has played Cherokee before. Cherokee went five and five,
- 22:38Speaker 1: three and two in Class B two District three Copin
- 22:41Speaker 1: at home against the Cherokee Chiefs match.
- 22:44Speaker 4: Before you begin, would you please tell them the breaking
- 22:49Speaker 4: news out of Copan that is probably.
- 22:52Speaker 5: More important than this football game.
- 22:54Speaker 1: The swat team deal.
- 22:55Speaker 2: No tellum, Bartlesville Radio dot com.
- 23:00Speaker 5: Oh really, no, no, no.
- 23:01Speaker 2: This has to do with the Copin truck stop being
- 23:06Speaker 2: sold to new ownership. You know Jeremy Barnes, Jeremy Barnes,
- 23:11Speaker 2: good old buddy. Jeremy Barnes and his family are buying
- 23:15Speaker 2: the Copan truck stop. He posted on Facebook and Facebook
- 23:18Speaker 2: dot com and said that nothing's gonna change. It's gonna
- 23:22Speaker 2: be the same old Copaine truck stop you've known and loved,
- 23:24Speaker 2: all the same people running it, and uh so, just
- 23:27Speaker 2: a little ownership change. And Jeremy and his family are
- 23:30Speaker 2: great people. No, they're copaying. It's Copaine family, so that's
- 23:33Speaker 2: that's good. They're gonna keep alling, and so I'm excited
- 23:35Speaker 2: about that, exciting about the future of the Copan truck
- 23:39Speaker 2: stop is secure and we can go there and eat.
- 23:41Speaker 5: That's right when we hit the road.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Unfortunately, do have to say one thing has changed. They
- 23:46Speaker 1: close at eight on Tuesdays now, because I tried to
- 23:49Speaker 1: go eat there last night.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Okay, well, budd he hadn't taken over the owner yet,
- 23:53Speaker 4: so well maybe something else.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Well it's changed before then, Well let's ask him then
- 23:56Speaker 1: to keep it up. That was mid October. There was
- 23:59Speaker 1: a note in the door. It's as of October or
- 24:01Speaker 1: whatever date.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Yeah, winter hours eight on, Well, it gets dark.
- 24:06Speaker 2: I have a home.
- 24:07Speaker 1: I have eaten a Copine truck stop at eight o'clock
- 24:10Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, probably twice a month for the last year.
- 24:14Speaker 5: Okay, why eight o'clock.
- 24:16Speaker 1: I guess my wife has class that night. She's taking
- 24:19Speaker 1: a college class again. And it's delicious and by the
- 24:21Speaker 1: time we get up there and Tuesdays a Copaine truck stop,
- 24:24Speaker 1: if you want to wear is today. You can reach
- 24:26Speaker 1: into the hat and you pull out a little sheet
- 24:29Speaker 1: of paper and it gives you a discount you a
- 24:31Speaker 1: free piece of pie.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Or reach your hand yeah, don't stop doing that.
- 24:37Speaker 1: That's on Tuesdays now.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I'll tell you a story.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Old Brady Batch was coming home to rest a little
- 24:43Speaker 2: bit on Saturday from college and all he wanted was
- 24:47Speaker 2: a peanut butter pie from Copin truck Stop. I said,
- 24:49Speaker 2: you want me to hold you up there? I said,
- 24:51Speaker 2: you want me to get you a thing for when
- 24:52Speaker 2: you come home, And he said, peanut butter pie. Copan
- 24:54Speaker 2: truck Stop. Drove all the way up there, got one
- 24:56Speaker 2: good for you and I had a.
- 24:57Speaker 5: Piece and it was delicious, good just for.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Get until you eat it again. How dense it is? Evan,
- 25:03Speaker 3: can you pull up the bracket on this on this league?
- 25:06Speaker 2: Yep?
- 25:06Speaker 3: The reason I'm asking is Rev. Could Copan face Wilson
- 25:11Speaker 3: again or are they on the same side.
- 25:14Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 25:15Speaker 1: No, they're not on the same They shouldn't it be they?
- 25:17Speaker 1: If they win, they will likely go to ceiling. Ceiling
- 25:21Speaker 1: is the ones.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Yeah, but ultimately could they face Wilson, it.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Would be in the state championship.
- 25:25Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna make a little prediction right here.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Okay, I think Copan takes another shot at Wilson in
- 25:33Speaker 2: in the state championship.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Wow.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Oh, and tonight begins the drive.
- 25:37Speaker 1: You should see the eyes the Revard.
- 25:40Speaker 2: This tonight begins the drive to that game. Yeah, and
- 25:45Speaker 2: I think they are going to take care of Cherokee,
- 25:47Speaker 2: especially at home. Haven't hosted a playoff game in sixteen years.
- 25:51Speaker 2: I've seen some pictures on Facebook dot com of you know,
- 25:54Speaker 2: they painted up the they painted up the press box
- 25:57Speaker 2: a little bit. They're really they're really getting ready for
- 26:01Speaker 2: this playoff game.
- 26:02Speaker 3: And I think it is gonna be a riot up there.
- 26:04Speaker 1: How much better is that current Copan press box than
- 26:07Speaker 1: the one that Custer Stadium? I know, it's nice. Nice.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited for this playoff run for Copan and
- 26:16Speaker 2: I think they're gonna they're gonna stomp Jerokee.
- 26:19Speaker 3: I'm excited about it.
- 26:22Speaker 5: Geez, this is gonna be he said a lot. I
- 26:25Speaker 5: know that's just said.
- 26:27Speaker 4: It just cursed them, said they're going to state Championship's
- 26:30Speaker 4: take one game one week at a time, one week
- 26:33Speaker 4: and uh, my.
- 26:34Speaker 5: Advice is be excited about the.
- 26:37Speaker 4: Home playoff and everybody, but don't be so excited that.
- 26:40Speaker 5: You forget that there's a football game, right.
- 26:42Speaker 4: I think that hosting a home playoff game could be
- 26:46Speaker 4: more of a distraction than homecoming because everybody excited. You're
- 26:50Speaker 4: selling shirts, which is good, you want all that, but
- 26:53Speaker 4: you can't forget that there's a football game.
- 26:54Speaker 5: Copan.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Just go do what you do, all right, keep the
- 26:57Speaker 4: weak normal, do what you do, Go play. Prepare for
- 27:01Speaker 4: Cherokee Chiefs, who traditionally has been really, really good, but
- 27:05Speaker 4: they've been down last several years. They're back in the
- 27:07Speaker 4: playoffs and they know how to win in the playoffs.
- 27:10Speaker 4: I mean, they've done it for years. And the Copainne Hornets,
- 27:15Speaker 4: they just need to just go play their game and
- 27:19Speaker 4: don't try to do something that you can't do, and
- 27:24Speaker 4: do what you're.
- 27:24Speaker 5: Supposed to do.
- 27:25Speaker 4: You know, I wish Nighthawk was here because he would
- 27:27Speaker 4: talk about, yeah, I do that. Because late in the
- 27:29Speaker 4: season in the fourth grade white team, he just went
- 27:32Speaker 4: to three plays. He just shrunk it down to three plays.
- 27:34Speaker 4: And that's the best thing night Hawock ever did. And
- 27:37Speaker 4: he just beat the dog out of those teams just
- 27:39Speaker 4: running three plays and doing what you do. Copaine Horns
- 27:42Speaker 4: need to do the same thing. They're better, they're more
- 27:46Speaker 4: athletic than Cherokee, and I think they're better coached. So
- 27:52Speaker 4: just go do what you do and you win this
- 27:53Speaker 4: game easy. Don't let all the other nonsense and all
- 27:56Speaker 4: the stuff distract you. Remember there's a football game that
- 27:58Speaker 4: we played. They're gonna sing national Land them with your
- 28:00Speaker 4: hand over your heart. Go play football and win this game.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Awesome.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Copen Cherokee Friday night should be a good one, looking
- 28:08Speaker 1: for their first playoff win in sixteen years. And yes
- 28:11Speaker 1: we mentioned before, should Copen win to get the winner
- 28:14Speaker 1: of ceiling in Thackerville. That ball game is in ceiling.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Either of you guys been to ceiling before.

- 29:28Speaker 3: Do you think maybe who ever told you that doesn't
- 29:30Speaker 3: doesn't talk?
- 29:31Speaker 1: It was the voice of the Huskies tie offtus Anyway,
- 29:34Speaker 1: there was a member of the PASCA staff. He pointed
- 29:37Speaker 1: out that that told him that. So t I heard
- 29:39Speaker 1: it from a.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Hard heard it from somebody else somebody else.
- 29:42Speaker 1: No, No, he heard it from someone who's from Hartshorn.

- 30:15Speaker 1: has been at the postseason. That is the longest streak
- 30:17Speaker 1: throughout area. BAHSCA, though has not won a playoff game
- 30:21Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one, had back to back first round
- 30:24Speaker 1: losses to Victory Christian and twenty two then Kansas last year.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Harsh Shorn head coach Billy or Bill Williams excuse me
- 30:32Speaker 1: as a connection to Matt Hennessy. He was an assistant
- 30:35Speaker 1: under coach Tennessee for a long time. In fact, he
- 30:38Speaker 1: was with Hennessy in Bahaska during coach Tennessee's first season
- 30:42Speaker 1: there before he went to Harshorn and is now the
- 30:43Speaker 1: head coach. Huskies in their previous six appearances in the
- 30:48Speaker 1: playoffs have either made the quarters or the semis, or
- 30:50Speaker 1: they've lost in the first round. They have a quarterfinal appearance,
- 30:54Speaker 1: two semi final appearances, and three first round losses in
- 30:58Speaker 1: their last six. Last Harshorn playoff win was in twenty sixteen.
- 31:04Speaker 1: No common opponents harshworn by the way seven and three,
- 31:07Speaker 1: four and three in Class A one District four, which
- 31:12Speaker 1: was good for third place over there.
- 31:14Speaker 3: So, Rev, I almost want you to start first. Okay, real,
- 31:18Speaker 3: are you nervous about this game?
- 31:20Speaker 2: Not really, No, I'm not. You want me to start? Yeah, okay, First,
- 31:24Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought all those playoffs statistics. Okay, those
- 31:27Speaker 2: are very good, and every one of those are since
- 31:30Speaker 2: Coach Tennessee has been there.
- 31:31Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:31Speaker 2: So I'm going to remind the Pahuska Huskies what they
- 31:35Speaker 2: were prior to Coach Tennessee and how lucky they are
- 31:39Speaker 2: to have Coach Tennessee and what he's done for not
- 31:43Speaker 2: only that football program but that school. So our caution,
- 31:48Speaker 2: you need to be careful out there with you know,
- 31:53Speaker 2: thinking that things might be better on the other side,
- 31:55Speaker 2: because what you have many many, many schools would love
- 31:59Speaker 2: to have you.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Sure, in twenty seventeen, if I remember correctly, their last game,
- 32:05Speaker 1: they almost had to play with ten guys.
- 32:07Speaker 5: I believe very I.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Think they were down to eleven healthy players in their
- 32:12Speaker 1: Week ten and the season in which I'm pretty sure
- 32:14Speaker 1: they went on ten.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Yeah, So he came in there and quickly and then.
- 32:18Speaker 1: They were in the playoffs the next year and they
- 32:20Speaker 1: haven't missed once since.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so you know, cost will be careful because
- 32:26Speaker 2: the guy.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Are you hearing people complain?
- 32:30Speaker 4: I've just you know, some people just you know, maybe
- 32:34Speaker 4: question a guy that is knows what he's doing and
- 32:39Speaker 4: built something, certainly.
- 32:40Speaker 2: But the thing is they they think that maybe things.
- 32:45Speaker 4: Could be better or whatever, or that you know, maybe
- 32:47Speaker 4: coach Tennessee should have called this player, shouldn't have did
- 32:50Speaker 4: this or whatever. You know, I suggest being quiet because
- 32:53Speaker 4: there's a lot of schools out there'd love to have
- 32:55Speaker 4: coach Tennessee. I'm telling you that right now, and he is.
- 32:58Speaker 4: He is good, and he's as good as they get too.
- 33:01Speaker 4: He builds character in those kids. He's turned that school
- 33:04Speaker 4: around just himself.
- 33:05Speaker 5: And his staff.
- 33:07Speaker 2: So I'm gonna throw it out there cause I thank
- 33:09Speaker 2: you for those.
- 33:09Speaker 4: Stats that you just just shout it out there for us.
- 33:13Speaker 4: But this football game, I think it's gonna be. It
- 33:15Speaker 4: doesn't make me nervous. Batch Coach Tennessee has been in
- 33:18Speaker 4: the playoffs multiple times. He knows what he's doing.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Heartsworn, heartsworn or whatever largely.
- 33:25Speaker 5: Call it these days.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Always those Heartsworn.
- 33:26Speaker 5: They had, they had a.
- 33:27Speaker 4: Good season, but they're also coming to the beach and
- 33:30Speaker 4: playing a team that I feel is hitting on all cylinders.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Uh.
- 33:34Speaker 4: They are now healthy and Chase Eves is good and
- 33:37Speaker 4: ready to go. They got another lineman that came back.
- 33:40Speaker 4: They're gonna be good and they're gonna make a little
- 33:42Speaker 4: run at it right here.
- 33:44Speaker 5: Can they get to the playoffs? I don't know.
- 33:45Speaker 4: I haven't even looked that far. I look, you know,
- 33:47Speaker 4: week to week? Can they beat heart Sworn? Yes, they
- 33:49Speaker 4: can come to the beach. My biggest question to Evan,
- 33:52Speaker 4: if you don't mind looking this up for him real quick,
- 33:54Speaker 4: will they play their second round playoff game at home?
- 33:57Speaker 4: Because they're gonna win this one.
- 33:59Speaker 1: I don't know that for sure, so let's look it up.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Well, you know what you want is you want to
- 34:04Speaker 2: catch a Harshorn team that's that's lost three of their
- 34:07Speaker 2: last four. You know they started six and oh and
- 34:10Speaker 2: then you know they're coming in limping a little bit.
- 34:13Speaker 2: I don't know anything about Haskell. Let's go Haymakers, but
- 34:17Speaker 2: losing three out of four, certainly mentally, I think gives
- 34:22Speaker 2: you an edge with with Puhuska having won four of
- 34:25Speaker 2: their last four and are rolling. And so yeah, I
- 34:29Speaker 2: like them at the beach, I also am gonna pick them.
- 34:32Speaker 2: I was gonna pick them no matter what you said.
- 34:34Speaker 2: But but on paper, you know, just from a record
- 34:37Speaker 2: standpoint and all that kind of stuff, it looks, you know,
- 34:39Speaker 2: relatively evenly matched.
- 34:41Speaker 5: But but I like Pehuska. Here, I'm with you.
- 34:43Speaker 3: I think Puhuska will win a couple of playoff games.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, and and then we'll see what happens
- 34:50Speaker 2: when they get into the quarters and semis and all that.
- 34:52Speaker 1: So they I don't know how they determine if two
- 34:56Speaker 1: two seeds end up playing.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Each other, but go to the play off the.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Second I've got it. Walters plays cashing cash and finished
- 35:05Speaker 1: third and a one one and and uh cash and
- 35:10Speaker 1: finished second and a one two. And that is the
- 35:13Speaker 1: game opposite Bahsta.
- 35:15Speaker 2: It's typically the top team. So we're go back to
- 35:19Speaker 2: that bracket.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Well yeah, well I don't know that's what I'm saying. Well, no, never,
- 35:25Speaker 1: I wasn't even right anyway, I was looking at the
- 35:27Speaker 1: wrong thing. Sorry. Yeah, Christian Heritage, Christian Heritage and Hinton.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Sorry bad, They'll go to.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Christian Heritage, yes, okay, that's the way I understand it
- 35:38Speaker 2: and still decide, all right, well, they're for sure we're
- 35:41Speaker 2: gonna win Friday night, Yeah, yeah, win good?
- 35:45Speaker 5: All right?
- 35:47Speaker 1: Okay, So Bahasca and harsh Shorn. Yeah, and like we
- 35:50Speaker 1: mentioned in the A one bracket, Christian Heritage Hinton would
- 35:53Speaker 1: be the winner. So you say Christian Heritage wins, that's
- 35:56Speaker 1: probably where they would go.
- 35:57Speaker 2: I think.
- 35:58Speaker 4: So, okay, So now start and remember this. It used
- 36:01Speaker 4: to be the even district.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Christian Heritage is a one seed, so you're probably right.
- 36:07Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but they also used to do it if
- 36:10Speaker 4: in uh in three a that on the if you
- 36:14Speaker 4: were in an even district on the even years, you
- 36:17Speaker 4: got the home game.
- 36:19Speaker 1: It is at Christian. Now that we've said all this,
- 36:21Speaker 1: I wasn't using my brain before mentioned Tyle Loftus, who
- 36:25Speaker 1: does a great job covering Bahsca. He had told me
- 36:29Speaker 1: that that that's what there will probably go and that's
- 36:31Speaker 1: in del City. Okay, that they probably have a trip
- 36:34Speaker 1: to the metal. Yeah, all right, let's go to the
- 36:39Speaker 1: next ball game. No wata at rejoice. Christian Ironman finished
- 36:43Speaker 1: things up at three and seven overall, three and four
- 36:47Speaker 1: and a one district three got them fourth place in
- 36:50Speaker 1: that district. Man, they lost another tough one to tonkle
- 36:53Speaker 1: A six to two. Man, No wata could. I mean,
- 36:56Speaker 1: if you just kind of reverse their fortunes the last
- 36:58Speaker 1: two weeks and the fourth quarter, they'd be five and
- 37:01Speaker 1: five and it could be even better than that. Coach
- 37:03Speaker 1: Reevard and I were talking about close losses to Warner
- 37:07Speaker 1: and Chelsea earlier this year Union for Nowah, Oklahoma. Yeah,
- 37:11Speaker 1: that's one of the last two weeks I was speaking about.
- 37:13Speaker 1: I mean, they can pretty easily be seven and three,
- 37:15Speaker 1: certainly five and five even if you just look at
- 37:17Speaker 1: the last two weeks, but didn't quite get it done.
- 37:19Speaker 1: At a late failure and fourth down Tonkawa I think
- 37:22Speaker 1: was oh of fourteen passing and on a third and
- 37:26Speaker 1: long completed like a twenty five thirty yard pass to
- 37:29Speaker 1: get them within striking distance and they ended up scoring
- 37:32Speaker 1: a touchdown. It was two nothing iron and almost that
- 37:34Speaker 1: entire game. I watched a lot of it. It was
- 37:36Speaker 1: a slog on that grass field. I mean, it was,
- 37:40Speaker 1: it was awful. It was it was entertaining to watch,
- 37:43Speaker 1: but yeah, it was. It was just nothing but umbrellas
- 37:46Speaker 1: and standing water and fourth down failures. This is what
- 37:50Speaker 1: it looked like, and then Tonkawa snapped the ball over
- 37:53Speaker 1: the punter's head. That's how No Waha scored its safety,
- 37:56Speaker 1: and no one really particularly got all that closest, scoring
- 37:59Speaker 1: tonko a few fourth and goals, but they got stuffed
- 38:02Speaker 1: every time they got down there, and then finally got
- 38:04Speaker 1: one in right at the end to nip the Ironman
- 38:06Speaker 1: six to two. No Wada four losses of nine points
- 38:09Speaker 1: or less, five losses five points are less. However, it
- 38:12Speaker 1: is the first playoff appearance for no Wada since twenty nineteen,
- 38:16Speaker 1: first time in five years. All three playoff appearances since
- 38:20Speaker 1: no Wada made that twenty fourteen trip to the state
- 38:23Speaker 1: championship have been first round losses. They lost in fifteen
- 38:27Speaker 1: to Callcurt, the twenty sixteen loss to Holland Hall, and
- 38:30Speaker 1: a twenty nineteen loss to Begs. No Wada has lost
- 38:34Speaker 1: to Rejoice Christian. They're opponent each of the last two
- 38:36Speaker 1: years in district play forty nine nothing last year, fifty
- 38:40Speaker 1: nothing in twenty twenty two. Rejoice has gone one and
- 38:43Speaker 1: done the past two years in the playoffs. They did
- 38:46Speaker 1: make the quarterfinals in twenty twenty one and the semis
- 38:49Speaker 1: as recently as twenty nineteen, No Wada at Rejoice Christian.
- 38:53Speaker 1: We will have radio only coverage of that game on
- 38:56Speaker 1: K Break one ozer four point nine on Friday ninth.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Yeah, Rejoice, real, real good and their only loss was
- 39:03Speaker 2: to a three A team, and they're gonna win this game.
- 39:07Speaker 2: And you know, No Wada has had a really weird season.
- 39:11Speaker 2: You know, they started out so bad and then right
- 39:14Speaker 2: in the middle got you know, kind of kind of
- 39:16Speaker 2: surprised us a little bit, really kind of put it together,
- 39:19Speaker 2: and then have had a really bizarre end to the season.
- 39:23Speaker 2: They've had some weird games, and so, yeah, Rejoice is
- 39:27Speaker 2: gonna win this game. Uh, No Wa will be be
- 39:32Speaker 2: their season will be over this week and looking forward
- 39:35Speaker 2: to next year and all that kind of stuff.
- 39:37Speaker 5: You know, I got to give it up to him, yep.
- 39:39Speaker 4: As bad as I hate to, and I know Adam
- 39:43Speaker 4: Hooper would not be happy with me since they canceled
- 39:45Speaker 4: Adam Hoover Bowl, but I got to give it up
- 39:48Speaker 4: to him. They although went three and seven, they made
- 39:53Speaker 4: it into the playoffs as a fourth seat in a
- 39:55Speaker 4: traditional what I call traditional.
- 39:57Speaker 2: District, and they did it.
- 39:59Speaker 4: And as Evan was talking about, I watched him play Chelsea,
- 40:04Speaker 4: and I'm watching the game and they shouldn't just win.
- 40:07Speaker 4: I mean, it's nowhere close, and somehow Chelsea throws it
- 40:10Speaker 4: deep several times and.
- 40:11Speaker 5: Ends up beating them late. And then of course we're
- 40:13Speaker 5: watching Oklahoma Union, same thing.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Oh, Communion of course twenty points in the fourth quarter
- 40:17Speaker 2: and beats them. And then of course last week.
- 40:20Speaker 4: Against Honk Wall in the porn down rain, you know,
- 40:23Speaker 4: they go forward on fourth down, which Evan and I
- 40:25Speaker 4: had the conversation, should they have gone forward?
- 40:27Speaker 2: Punted it?
- 40:27Speaker 5: Evan thought they should have punted it. No, that's tough.
- 40:30Speaker 2: It's poorn down raining, and you know, do you get
- 40:33Speaker 2: it blocked?
- 40:35Speaker 5: You know? And I will also say how do you
- 40:37Speaker 5: take your chances?
- 40:37Speaker 1: And it was one of those deals where it gets
- 40:40Speaker 1: no what I went for it. It was like fourth
- 40:42Speaker 1: and two from its own forty thirty eight forty two
- 40:46Speaker 1: somewhere in there their side of the fifty. If they
- 40:48Speaker 1: get the first down, the game is basically over. If
- 40:52Speaker 1: they fail, you gave tonko at the ball, obviously in
- 40:55Speaker 1: your own territory. I will say I watched most of
- 40:58Speaker 1: that game and I saw several punts less than twenty yards. Sure, yeah,
- 41:03Speaker 1: because they were because it was it was hard sledding
- 41:06Speaker 1: to handle the ball, all that stuff, like you said.
- 41:08Speaker 1: So so at some point maybe you're thinking the fifteen
- 41:11Speaker 1: the possible fifteen to twenty yards if it goes well,
- 41:15Speaker 1: a field position isn't worth the chance to just end
- 41:18Speaker 1: the game right there, right, So anyway, I think.
- 41:21Speaker 2: I'd probably probably have went for it as well, and
- 41:24Speaker 2: in those conditions, and they wouldn't have mattered anyway if
- 41:27Speaker 2: Tonkawa hadn't gotten his first pass play of the game.
- 41:31Speaker 1: I think they were oh of thirteen or fourteen passing
- 41:34Speaker 1: and then they just heave one down there and the
- 41:36Speaker 1: guy made a pretty pretty nice, kind of miraculous catch
- 41:38Speaker 1: that was well covered that centema.
- 41:40Speaker 3: Which is kind of how it's gone for no water exactly.
- 41:43Speaker 4: You're right, but they've got to go play the Rejoice
- 41:47Speaker 4: Screaming Eagles, who has you know, our longtime listeners know
- 41:52Speaker 4: that my nephew played, their nephews both played there for
- 41:55Speaker 4: many years and they've now graduated and moved on. So
- 41:58Speaker 4: I've got the chance to watch Rejoice play for the
- 42:00Speaker 4: last she's eight years something like that, and you know
- 42:04Speaker 4: I watched them last year get beat by beat begs
- 42:07Speaker 4: in week three like seventy does nothing and then then
- 42:11Speaker 4: turn around and get killed in the first round of playoffs.
- 42:13Speaker 5: It's crazy. So Rejoice is.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Known for this.
- 42:17Speaker 4: If if I was a no water coach, I'd be
- 42:20Speaker 4: begging for the wind to be blown like a champion
- 42:23Speaker 4: in about twenty degrees outside.
- 42:25Speaker 5: Then they'd have a chance. But it's not.
- 42:27Speaker 4: It's going to be sixty five degrees and nights outside.
- 42:31Speaker 4: But they do get to go play at a beautiful stadium,
- 42:32Speaker 4: they beautiful indoor and all that stuff. But unfortunately, I
- 42:35Speaker 4: think Rejoice is gonna be too much for you.
- 42:38Speaker 5: Although I wish no what me too.
- 42:41Speaker 4: I wish you guys would win this game because I'm
- 42:43Speaker 4: not a big fan of Rejoice with.
- 42:45Speaker 3: And with Dewey and if their season does end.
- 42:47Speaker 2: And I thought you were a big you're not, no,
- 42:49Speaker 2: But to watch my nephews. I went to watch my
- 42:51Speaker 2: nephews and that was it.
- 42:53Speaker 5: That was the only reason.
- 42:54Speaker 1: So you cheered for him.
- 42:55Speaker 5: Then I cheered for my nephew nephews.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Second the nephews were gone here.
- 42:58Speaker 2: I didn't even cheer for the team, just the not
- 43:02Speaker 2: I guarantee you they would they would.
- 43:04Speaker 1: What's your issue?
- 43:05Speaker 2: Let me tell you.
- 43:06Speaker 5: Okay, we got time. Yeah, their coach who coach.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Marley, used to be at Victory Christian and uh is
- 43:15Speaker 2: that the one with the bridge. They weren't good.
- 43:16Speaker 4: No, no, Victory Christians over by our cross the street
- 43:21Speaker 4: and they weren't very good at all. And there was
- 43:25Speaker 4: one particular game, early in the second quarter I got
- 43:29Speaker 4: upset with him because he kept throwing the dang ball
- 43:32Speaker 4: and we kept intercepting it running back for a touchdown,
- 43:35Speaker 4: and so the scores like fifty six to nothing.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Quarter it was fifty six.
- 43:41Speaker 5: But this is back in the day.
- 43:44Speaker 2: But it wasn't our fault.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Oh is that right?
- 43:46Speaker 2: He kept throwing the ball, we intercepted it, run back
- 43:48Speaker 2: for touchdown. What were we supposed to do?
- 43:49Speaker 5: Bat you?
- 43:50Speaker 2: So I hollered at the hollered across the field at him,
- 43:53Speaker 2: and just like coach Marley, quit throwing that ball.
- 43:57Speaker 5: Just get a fight.
- 43:58Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no. But I was upset with
- 44:01Speaker 4: anywhere at halftime, like you.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Got to stop this. Yeah, I can't. We can't control
- 44:06Speaker 2: this right now.
- 44:08Speaker 4: And so anyways, Jacob moved the dog out of him.
- 44:12Speaker 5: You know his name is Brent Marty.
- 44:14Speaker 4: Sorry, but he uh so then he goes to uh
- 44:20Speaker 4: rejoice and runs it up on everybody.
- 44:23Speaker 5: I watched my nephews.
- 44:24Speaker 1: I used to watch.
- 44:25Speaker 5: Him run it up on him constantly.
- 44:28Speaker 2: These little teams. You know, if you've seen their facilities
- 44:30Speaker 2: and what they have, you know they shouldn't be playing
- 44:33Speaker 2: no water, they shouldn't. I mean it's not it's not
- 44:35Speaker 2: even close what they have. And he's not afraid to
- 44:38Speaker 2: run it up on you, which isn't right?
- 44:41Speaker 3: So oh is that right now?
- 44:42Speaker 1: It's not right?
- 44:43Speaker 4: No, no, no, But now it's you don't like the
- 44:45Speaker 4: guy run it up, intentionally, run the score up?
- 44:50Speaker 2: Okay, not not pup. You know what I'm gonna say,
- 44:55Speaker 2: Okay and move on, because this has to do with
- 44:58Speaker 2: I like somebody or I you don't like somebody. You're
- 45:01Speaker 2: just fine if the guy you like runs it up
- 45:03Speaker 2: on everybody, you leave your starters laning the whole time.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Oh gosh, it multiple okay.
- 45:08Speaker 2: And he did the same thing to Beggs.
- 45:10Speaker 4: You call the old Begs head football coach right now,
- 45:12Speaker 4: and you ask him, why did you guys win that
- 45:15Speaker 4: first round playoff game? He gonna tell you because he
- 45:18Speaker 4: ran the score up on us intentionally. Ran the score
- 45:20Speaker 4: up on us up you know, seventy nothing. His starters
- 45:23Speaker 4: played the entire game. Yeah, So back to your point,
- 45:26Speaker 4: I supported my nephew and as soon as he was
- 45:28Speaker 4: out of the game, I left. Good for you, I
- 45:31Speaker 4: don't blame you.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Thanks having Bartlesville at Putnam City Bruins, and that's all
- 45:36Speaker 1: I have to say about that. Bruins and Pirates will
- 45:39Speaker 1: have this game Friday night on K one AM, fourteen
- 45:42Speaker 1: hundred FM, ninety three point three, ninety five point one
- 45:46Speaker 1: video coverage, K one TV dot com. Bartlesville wrapped up
- 45:51Speaker 1: its regular season with a sixty two to nothing to
- 45:53Speaker 1: win over Capitol Hill at home last week. Bruins finished
- 45:56Speaker 1: three and four in fifth place and six A two
- 45:59Speaker 1: D two. They go three and seven overall. Bartlesville has
- 46:03Speaker 1: now made the playoffs three straight years, first time since
- 46:06Speaker 1: the schools merged in nineteen eighty two. Bartlesville is going
- 46:10Speaker 1: for its third straight year with a playoff win. Last
- 46:13Speaker 1: year's forty five to fourteen win over PC North was
- 46:17Speaker 1: already the first time in school history that Bartlesfield had
- 46:20Speaker 1: back to back years with a playoff victory. BHS has
- 46:24Speaker 1: finished fifth, fourth, and fifth in that East Side sixty
- 46:27Speaker 1: two district. The past three years Bruins have won a
- 46:30Speaker 1: playoff game and three of their last four appearances. Now
- 46:34Speaker 1: it's dating back to the twenty fifteen appearance. Too common
- 46:38Speaker 1: opponent one of only a couple games that has a
- 46:40Speaker 1: common opponent in this series of local games.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Here.
- 46:44Speaker 1: In the playoffs, Bartlesville and Putnam City both played PC North.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Bruins lost to PC North twenty three to nothing. Putnham
- 46:53Speaker 1: City beat the PC North Panthers twenty one to seven.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Putnham City has been to the playoffs last two years now.
- 46:59Speaker 1: They went over Talaquah in the first round last year
- 47:02Speaker 1: then got blown out by Stillwater. That Tahlequah victory for
- 47:05Speaker 1: Putnam City in the first round last year was the
- 47:08Speaker 1: Pirates' first playoff win since two thousand and seven. And
- 47:12Speaker 1: I want ought to mention that Kevin Potter's dad, Jerry,
- 47:16Speaker 1: was the head legend at Putnam City from nineteen sixty
- 47:19Speaker 1: five to nineteen seventy seven. Thirteen years there at Putnam City,
- 47:23Speaker 1: he won three state championships in nineteen seventy four, seventy
- 47:27Speaker 1: five and seventy seven. I think might have been Kevin's
- 47:30Speaker 1: senior year the legend Jerry Potter.
- 47:32Speaker 5: So that was for Kevin Potter, the coach.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right there. They are coached by Willis Alexander,
- 47:40Speaker 1: who went over from PC West to Putnam City a couple.
- 47:43Speaker 5: Of years ago.
- 47:44Speaker 1: And there's a handful of names I recognized from when
- 47:47Speaker 1: the Bruins played Willis Alexander's teams as a Patriot that
- 47:52Speaker 1: have transferred over and followed him. I think his son
- 47:55Speaker 1: is one of them. He's gone eleven and eleven over
- 47:57Speaker 1: twenty two games with Putnham City. He had five coaching
- 48:01Speaker 1: stops in twenty years as a head coach, started in
- 48:03Speaker 1: two thousand and four with John Marshall.
- 48:05Speaker 3: You want to do it or you have made to
- 48:06Speaker 3: do it? What you're talking about Wieler's.
- 48:10Speaker 1: And you know the other brief thing I'll say about
- 48:13Speaker 1: Putnam City. They're six and four. They ended up finishing
- 48:16Speaker 1: fourth and six 't A two District one after they
- 48:18Speaker 1: lost to Piedmont last week twenty one to fourteen. The
- 48:22Speaker 1: Pirates offense is nothing to really write home about. It's
- 48:25Speaker 1: not terrible, but I think it's an average six d
- 48:29Speaker 1: A two offense. But they make their hay defensively. They
- 48:32Speaker 1: have like four guys with Division one offers on the
- 48:35Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. They had forty eight sacks
- 48:40Speaker 1: in ten games. And they've got a couple guys with
- 48:45Speaker 1: Power five offers on the defensive line, and that is
- 48:49Speaker 1: where I think their their strength is. That being said,
- 48:53Speaker 1: if you look at kind of what they've done, they
- 48:56Speaker 1: don't have any shutouts except for Putnam City West, everyone
- 49:01Speaker 1: scored at least one touchdown on them. They give up
- 49:03Speaker 1: twenty one to Piedmont last week. That was a team
- 49:06Speaker 1: that was aligned to maybe finish fourth or fifth in
- 49:08Speaker 1: the district. Gave up fourteen to Southmore. But anyway, Bartlesville
- 49:12Speaker 1: at Puttnham City K one K one TV dot com
- 49:15Speaker 1: in front.
- 49:15Speaker 2: All right, well, you know, I've got the Bruins, and
- 49:19Speaker 2: the Bruins are playing much better football here at the
- 49:21Speaker 2: end of the season. This Puttnam City team is is
- 49:26Speaker 2: good though, and it's gonna be a tough test.
- 49:29Speaker 3: And they have to go there.
- 49:31Speaker 2: So none of that really land. The defensive numbers for
- 49:35Speaker 2: PCO really, you know, don't give you a lot of confidence.
- 49:40Speaker 2: The Bruns offensive line, you know, has has not had
- 49:43Speaker 2: a whole ton of success holding people off. However, it's
- 49:46Speaker 2: a new season and they're playing different football right now,
- 49:50Speaker 2: and I think they're gonna win this game. Next week,
- 49:54Speaker 2: whoever they play is obviously gonna be really good. And
- 49:59Speaker 2: I think Muskoky is probably yeah.
- 50:02Speaker 3: And so.
- 50:04Speaker 2: I think the Bruins go in and get a win
- 50:06Speaker 2: here for the third straight season of playoff win, which
- 50:10Speaker 2: would be awesome.
- 50:11Speaker 3: And and we just we just have to see what happens.
- 50:16Speaker 3: We'll see. I don't know, but I'm.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Taking the Bruins, and I'll take the Bruins next week,
- 50:22Speaker 2: but I'm for sure taking them this week, and I
- 50:23Speaker 2: really think they'll win. By the way, have you heard
- 50:26Speaker 2: ever heard the story speaking of PC original, you ever
- 50:29Speaker 2: heard the story about Kevin Potter breaking his leg at practice?
- 50:32Speaker 3: So he's at camera and they're practicing.
- 50:35Speaker 2: He runs it in for a touchdown and whatever happens
- 50:37Speaker 2: at the goal line, he breaks his leg, breaks his
- 50:41Speaker 2: leg and he's wailing around and all that kind of stuff. Well,
- 50:45Speaker 2: in Lawton, right by the Cameron campus, right across the
- 50:48Speaker 2: street is the hospital, and so he said, before anybody
- 50:52Speaker 2: could really even hesitate, they scoop him up and start
- 50:56Speaker 2: walking him over to the absolutely.
- 51:01Speaker 1: That's right there.
- 51:02Speaker 4: You mile absolutely, We'll good, all right, that you're right.
- 51:06Speaker 4: Bruns have finished the season well, you know, they've won
- 51:10Speaker 4: three straight games, and Evan I was talking about this,
- 51:12Speaker 4: if you look at their schedule, I mean.
- 51:15Speaker 2: Is it a big surprise that they went three and
- 51:18Speaker 2: seven here at the end of the year. Not really.
- 51:21Speaker 4: I mean the reality of it is is the Bruns
- 51:24Speaker 4: lost some really good players and then they had a
- 51:27Speaker 4: couple of kids get hurt, had to start some freshmen
- 51:30Speaker 4: up front, or one freshman up front, had start some
- 51:32Speaker 4: freshmen in the back.
- 51:33Speaker 2: End, and those kids had to learn quick.
- 51:37Speaker 4: And I think that they've done a good job throughout
- 51:39Speaker 4: the season of improving, but to be thrown in there
- 51:44Speaker 4: week one through five, that's hard. I mean, that's a
- 51:48Speaker 4: whole I don't care who you're playing. You're playing at
- 51:50Speaker 4: Varsita level. It's a different speed and so and you
- 51:53Speaker 4: know they're playing eighteen year old boys. There's a big
- 51:57Speaker 4: difference between a fourteen year old kid and an eighteen
- 51:59Speaker 4: year old kid. That's it's just reality. So to look
- 52:03Speaker 4: at their schedule and be completely surprised, no, I.
- 52:07Speaker 5: Mean I'm not now.
- 52:11Speaker 2: Would have been great, would have been great, And I
- 52:14Speaker 2: thought maybe they would.
- 52:15Speaker 4: Get a win out of those one those first four games,
- 52:17Speaker 4: either Newcastle, Claremore calls there or sand Springs. I thought
- 52:21Speaker 4: one of those games they should want even.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Five with Paul and they got.
- 52:24Speaker 3: Should have won it, Clairemore, we were all there, Yeah,
- 52:27Speaker 3: should have won it.
- 52:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but just looking at it and knowing
- 52:30Speaker 2: that these guys are, you know, they're having to play
- 52:34Speaker 2: some freshmen and they've lost some kids.
- 52:38Speaker 4: On paper, they should they should have won. They shouldn't
- 52:40Speaker 4: have been close, and they were. You know, they got
- 52:42Speaker 4: b by two and then they get beat at sapaulp
- 52:44Speaker 4: in overtime.
- 52:45Speaker 2: So I mean, it.
- 52:46Speaker 4: Would have been great to get one or two of
- 52:48Speaker 4: those wins. I think two out of those first five
- 52:50Speaker 4: would have been a huge success. And then you're walking
- 52:53Speaker 4: in five and five and not playing Skokie exactly.
- 52:58Speaker 1: Yeah. If they if they beat Subulpin overtime, they're playing home.
- 53:02Speaker 4: Yeah, but they got to go to PC PC. You know,
- 53:05Speaker 4: defensive line is really really good. What is the deal
- 53:09Speaker 4: at PC? Because what was it PC West or North
- 53:12Speaker 4: whoever it is, which is North North? That their defensive
- 53:15Speaker 4: line was absolutely incredible.
- 53:16Speaker 1: I was huge, guy, I don't have the roster in
- 53:19Speaker 1: front of it, but they've got Putnam City has, like
- 53:22Speaker 1: I don't even think these aren't even the guys I'm
- 53:24Speaker 1: talking about. These are offensive lineman, other guys. They have
- 53:26Speaker 1: like five guys over three hundred and fifty pounds.
- 53:28Speaker 2: Geez, weak crazy.
- 53:30Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but the Bruns have nothing nothing to lose here.
- 53:36Speaker 4: I mean, go sell out right now. I mean this
- 53:38Speaker 4: is these freshmans and this young Bruin football team. This
- 53:42Speaker 4: is their first time to play in a playoff game. Now,
- 53:45Speaker 4: you threw that stat, they've been there the last three
- 53:47Speaker 4: years and all that some of those older guys have,
- 53:49Speaker 4: But how many I would be curious to know how
- 53:53Speaker 4: many Bruin starters started in last year's playoff game and
- 53:58Speaker 4: this year.
- 54:00Speaker 1: On the defensive side, it'd be maybe like one or two.
- 54:03Speaker 2: All right, one or two, And of offensively it's Nico
- 54:06Speaker 2: and Junior and yeah Torres, you.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Go, Junior Torres. That's maybe I guess you could maybe
- 54:13Speaker 1: say Set Williams was a backup running back then.
- 54:15Speaker 4: I mean he's so really really two defensively, three on offense.
- 54:18Speaker 5: Yeah, so very few.
- 54:19Speaker 2: So these kids who are playing this is their first
- 54:21Speaker 2: playoff game, Yeah.
- 54:22Speaker 5: The first time ever.
- 54:22Speaker 2: Let me go back to something you said. I don't
- 54:24Speaker 2: mean to interrupt you. I want to go back to
- 54:26Speaker 2: something you said earlier. So here's here's the danger in
- 54:30Speaker 2: this situation. Okay, you know for a fact they're going
- 54:34Speaker 2: to be decorating the locker room and they're going to
- 54:37Speaker 2: be sending them off with fireworks and the shirts and
- 54:41Speaker 2: all that. I mean, it's and these are, like you said,
- 54:43Speaker 2: young freshman sophomorores and all this.
- 54:46Speaker 3: It would be real easy to get caught up in
- 54:48Speaker 3: all that.
- 54:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it would. And as a coach, try to keep
- 54:51Speaker 2: them grounded.
- 54:51Speaker 4: You know, it's no different copaying we just talked about
- 54:53Speaker 4: on the same thing.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that.
- 54:55Speaker 4: But then you have the Bruins have absolutely nothing to
- 54:58Speaker 4: lose right here, all right, Putnam City does. They've got
- 55:01Speaker 4: a lot to no doubt. Okay, the pressure is on them.
- 55:04Speaker 4: So just this, like you know, know what we talked about,
- 55:09Speaker 4: Barnes at all, we talked about just go sell out
- 55:11Speaker 4: right now, you know you're you're I hope for goodness,
- 55:15Speaker 4: they throw some screens early to slow that d line.
- 55:17Speaker 4: They've got to do something established and run a game
- 55:20Speaker 4: is going to be difficult. Uh So, Niko is gonna
- 55:23Speaker 4: have to have a big game.
- 55:25Speaker 3: I think, would you move Michael Kent around? Would you
- 55:27Speaker 3: run him?
- 55:28Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have to.
- 55:29Speaker 4: I mean, he's not gonna be able to drop back
- 55:31Speaker 4: and sit back Aaron read a defense and that type stuff.
- 55:34Speaker 2: He throws well, and he does the ball well.
- 55:36Speaker 5: He does, and he's athletic. He make some things happen
- 55:38Speaker 5: with his legs.
- 55:39Speaker 2: There were a couple of times in that game last
- 55:41Speaker 2: Friday where I thought to myself, Man, I wish he
- 55:44Speaker 2: would have just tucked that he might have scored. Yeah.
- 55:46Speaker 4: Uh, he can move it, so you sure can. So
- 55:49Speaker 4: he's gonna have to have a big game. Defensively, I
- 55:52Speaker 4: think they'll be fine, you know, but them said he
- 55:55Speaker 4: like Evan said, they're not great on offense. So in defensively,
- 55:59Speaker 4: the Brunce play pretty well. I mean they have not
- 56:01Speaker 4: had a had a really a bad game at all.
- 56:05Speaker 4: I mean against Piscogie that's a whole nother animal. Uh,
- 56:08Speaker 4: but they haven't played bad. What's hurt them is their
- 56:10Speaker 4: turnovers on offense and giving up the short field all
- 56:13Speaker 4: the time.
- 56:14Speaker 2: That's what's hurt and hurt the Bruins. I mean, I
- 56:17Speaker 2: bet Evan he could go back and tell you this
- 56:19Speaker 2: because he's got all the stats from everything that they
- 56:22Speaker 2: do on how many drives that that the opposing team went,
- 56:27Speaker 2: you know, seventy eighty yards and I guarantee it's very
- 56:30Speaker 2: very few. Yea very few. So they need to stay sound,
- 56:34Speaker 2: they need to Yes, they need to play within themselves.
- 56:37Speaker 3: Yeah, all this coach speak, keep it close, play clean
- 56:41Speaker 3: to the fourth, do.
- 56:42Speaker 2: Anything stupid to give, to give you know, a bunch
- 56:45Speaker 2: of stupid first downs on penalties and stuff, and yeah, yep.
- 56:49Speaker 4: So you know, I I feel like Bartisville is gonna
- 56:54Speaker 4: come out with a winning this game.
- 56:56Speaker 2: I really do.
- 56:57Speaker 4: I think they've got a legitimate shot to win this game.
- 57:01Speaker 4: And like I said, they have nothing to loose. And
- 57:03Speaker 4: you know, I'm kind of maybe being a little homer here,
- 57:05Speaker 4: which that's okay. Yeah, I'm gonna take the Bruins on
- 57:08Speaker 4: the road.
- 57:09Speaker 5: I love it.
- 57:10Speaker 1: I think you're looking for it to be kind of
- 57:14Speaker 1: like the game against North was, because if you remember
- 57:18Speaker 1: back to that game against PC North, it's easy to
- 57:20Speaker 1: look at it and say, well, Putnam City beat them
- 57:23Speaker 1: twenty one to seven, Bruins lost to them twenty three nothing.
- 57:27Speaker 1: But if you remember the first half of that PC
- 57:29Speaker 1: North game, Bartlesville was down, ended up being down ten
- 57:33Speaker 1: to nothing at halftime, and it was still ten to
- 57:35Speaker 1: nothing early in the fourth through a pick six, and
- 57:37Speaker 1: then they scored another touchdown right at the end. So
- 57:39Speaker 1: they scored fourteen of those twenty three points in the
- 57:41Speaker 1: last seven minutes of the game. But the Bruins started
- 57:45Speaker 1: like five drives in panther territory. They blocked a punt
- 57:51Speaker 1: that they started inside the fifteen, and they started in time.
- 57:55Speaker 2: That was the game I was telling you where the
- 57:58Speaker 2: Bruins had nine play inside the five and had negative
- 58:02Speaker 2: six yards.
- 58:03Speaker 1: Or something like that, and they ended up not scoring.
- 58:05Speaker 1: They missed a field goal, they went forward on a
- 58:07Speaker 1: fourth down, and they're somewhere did not get it. If
- 58:10Speaker 1: you could make this game just like that one, but
- 58:13Speaker 1: you convert on those chances that you had inside the
- 58:16Speaker 1: red zone, that would be the difference.
- 58:19Speaker 4: I mean, if that's where as an OC, when you're
- 58:21Speaker 4: playing a really good defensive line, you have to be
- 58:26Speaker 4: creative because the field is shortened now and it's tough
- 58:30Speaker 4: to run the ball, and so you've got to have
- 58:33Speaker 4: some play action. You've got you've got to do something
- 58:36Speaker 4: creative it's where you know, maybe you call, oh, he
- 58:40Speaker 4: know hens the overt pass and say, hey, give us
- 58:43Speaker 4: some of those two point lays that you got.
- 58:46Speaker 2: They really need to work that screen game back in.
- 58:49Speaker 2: You know, they've gotten away from that a little bit.
- 58:51Speaker 2: That was their calling card most of the season was
- 58:53Speaker 2: those screens to Sutton Williams and.
- 58:55Speaker 3: And they're and he's really good in that environment.
- 58:58Speaker 2: They need to get back to that, especially if you
- 59:01Speaker 2: know that defensive line is big and going to be
- 59:03Speaker 2: coming after you, you can use that to your advantage, right. Yeah.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Well, we have a lot of previews of all these
- 59:09Speaker 1: games on our website Bartlesville Radio dot com, and we

- 1:00:20Speaker 2: prats to them as well. Fourth grade Brew and White
