• 0:14
  Speaker 1: What's up, guys, Welcome back to the Gateways Sportsman you show,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: John Huff, Roman Bishop.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: As always, we.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Are here to review the first round of the playoffs
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in the Saint Louis metro area with Missouri and Illinois
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: schools involved in the playoffs. It was If you've been
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: following along a little bit, it's not been the most
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: entertaining week of football. It is what it is with
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the setup we have in Missouri. Also, some Illinois games
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: weren't as good, but it was a lot better on that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Side, much better, much better than on the Saint Louis
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Saint Charles County side of things.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: If you've been following along our instant reaction stuff, which,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: by the way, thank you.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: For the feedback. It's been really nice.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Plan to keep doing those is I'll plan and keep
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: doing those as long as I have some time on
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: my hands to do that. So, Roman, what was kind
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of your immediate takeaway of this week?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: In general?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: We've covered this a lot now, you know, going back
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to the last few years, we know what we're getting ourselves
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: into here. When there's not going to be a lot
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of great games. It's still fun in general because it's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and you're gonna get some pretty exciting games,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a handful of them at least, and we were at
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: one of those on Saturday.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So what were your thoughts overall?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this has been very similar to I mean, shoot,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the past decade or so, where on the Illinois side
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you'll have a lot more close games because because of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the seeding and how they divide their regions and how
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they try to have more competitive matchups. And you know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: on the Missouri side there always is going to be
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: some good games, but just not nearly as much as
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the Illinois side. Like, for example, the m I Ces
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: game was pretty exciting. It was a very close game.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: But other than that that, I could count on one
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: hand across pretty much the entire state Missouri.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Genuinely good one score close games. I mean, just looking in.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: We had two this weekend. St.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Louis, Oakville, Limberg was close. Oakville snuck one out there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a little bit. That was
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the only Class six game to be one score this weekend.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: In Class five, the m I C deftly do a game,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: will do one twenty to seventeen. That was obviously very
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: close and exciting. That was one of the two one
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: score games across all of Class five. This past weekend
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: came the tim B Jefferson City twenty eight twenty six.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: That with the other that was kind of an upset too.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I saw that, Yeah, that was the other one score game.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And then in Class four on the Missouri side, there
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: were some forfeits.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I know that, but oh did you hear did you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: hear it?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry the interut did you hear about Saint Genevieve and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Normandy Normandy Tames.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about that later.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They were three one score games across Class four, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: then in Class.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Three there were a little bit more. Let's see one more.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Forfeits, yeah, of course, oh my gosh, yeah, two three, yep,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: three one score games and Class three and then Class
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: two will kind of get to the part of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: territory where there's no more sting those teams. But I mean,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: as you can see, there was just very few one
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: score games across the whole state, which is so tough.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: It's like it's.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Kind of just like we're wasting a week honestly, which
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: is horrible. I mean, I feel like Fridays in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: fall should be very, very meaningful and whenever we have
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a setup like this. This week, at least on the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Missouri side, is just kind of a throwaway week where
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know you'll have those few games that are close
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: because it just always works out that way where you
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: know you have, at least in this area, you'll have
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: enough you know, five and four, six and three teams
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: that a couple of them are bound to get masters
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: up against each other.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: And we'll actually have.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: An episode dedicated to the current playoff system once this
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: year's playoffs end. So I'm not gonna get too much
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: into it, but you know, not too fun of a
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: weekend compared to other weekends, I will say that. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you usually I try to defend every single week as
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: being fun because you usually every single week is fun,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: but this.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Week was just not that entertaining compared to other weeks.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna be honest, it's usually like that,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Personally, for me, it was fun with you know, Duo
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: getting to play a rivalry game against in my CDs
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: where you know it's two teams who know each other. Well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that was fun for what it is. But yeah, in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, it was kind of it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was an easy week as far as coverage, because we
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: only had four games that we covered in it's kind
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of great because today it was actually I I it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: kind of been a nice, easy Sunday for me instead
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of having to edit a lot of games and whatnot,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: which is a nice little reprieve. But for the most part,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I liked that grind to, you know, edit stuff and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: produce content. So yeah, it's it's a different thing. But
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I want to start with let's start with let's knock
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: out the Saint Louis County and GAC games this week.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: There weren't a whole lot of important ones. Let's start
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: on Thursday with hal versus Troy. I was at this game.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I was expecting a lot of different potential outcomes because
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of you know, given the history of these two schools,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: especially the recent history. But it was It was a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: pretty good game overall. But the Troy Buchanan Trojans ended
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: up running away from Francis Howe with a forty two
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to twenty four victory, very similar to their previous score
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: against how earlier this season in Week six, where they
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: took down how forty three to twenty seven, and on
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Thursday night they won forty two to twenty four Chris.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Wender with four rushing touchdowns.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: He was doing a little bit of it, more than
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit on offense, but even provided a little
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: bit on defense as well. And Carter dal had two
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: scores in the game. He's now the all time leading
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: touchdown rusher or I think scoring leader of all time
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in Troy history too, which I thought he already was.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: But now he is.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: And then I think it was a couple of weeks
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: ago he got the all time rushing record, and then
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I believe it was this week he got the all
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: time scoring record. I could be wrong, though, but I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: believe that's what I was seeing on Twitter. Okay, either way,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: congratulations to Dowell on a fantastic career so far.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Hopefully you can keep that up and continue to add
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: his stats.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And then linebacker talent Rowlan, he broke the all time
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: school record and tackles, breaking Brett Smith's.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Record from a few years ago.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So this is a pretty special senior class for Troy obviously,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when he got two players who are now leading record
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: holders in one class for two huge stat you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: stat category tackles and rushing pretty rare.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: You see two teammates get both us at the same time.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Really it is.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It's you know, so those are two players who mean
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a lot to the program in the same class. Yeah,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you don't usually get get that. Carter Schaeffer was pretty
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: decent quarterback. He did absolutely everything they needed Troy needed
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to get out of him, and then some. He made
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it pretty. He made some pretty nice passage. He had
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: two big passes. One was a thirty three yard touchdown
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: pass to Dow to give them a lead. I think
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it was fifteen, made it fifteen to three, and it
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: gave him that separation that they never let up throughout
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the whole game, where they would.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Have a two score lead.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It would teeter between a two score and a one
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: score lead for a good portion of the game.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: But the but the biggest play.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Of the game was a blocked punt in the end
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: zone that led to a safety by Tristan Wilkie for Troy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Was six to three at that point. They got a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: strip sack a few plays before that, and then the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: block punt which then gave Troy the football and they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: were able to go down and score on that. Shaeffer
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the dal touchdown reception and Francis Hall kept fighting back.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Derek Chuck had a really nice game passing the ball,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: especially to his received favorite receiver, Shake Specker, who was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and both of those guys are juniors, so.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: They'll be back next year.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: They had a pretty good connection in that game there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and it was fun to watch for a while, but
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: ultimately just not enough to keep up with Troy offensively
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: because they did whatever they wanted to do offensively. They
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: were able to run the ball at will, two hundred
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and thirty six rushing yards on the game, and yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Schaeffer completed ninety eight passing yards, so they had.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Over three hundred, well over three hundred.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Total yards for the game, and they it's a little
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: less than you would think because they had some short fields.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They recovered three fumbles by Hal and then.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Took him returning garners from Carson Clubman as well.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: He did Carson. He had a one particularly really good return,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: which was the opening kickoff of the second half, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: he returned it all the way he like ran sideways,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: probably like east west across the field, got all the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: way down to the four yard line, set up a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: short touchdown run by Winder to make it twenty two
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to ten.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And that was big because how they scored. They had
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: a nice drive.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Right before halftime, nice time consuming drive, and they had
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the momentum going in the halftime, but then they Troy
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: snatched it away from them right there in that one play,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: essentially those two plays and kept it a two score game,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and then eventually their defense stepped up, got some stops,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and their offense just kept going.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a huge game, especially for the Troy
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: offensive line. They're able to make their second second level
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: blocks really affected this game, which is huge for their
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: run game. And just I mean they don't they don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: throw it very often because they're not trying to put
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Carter Schaeffer and you know, they don't want to put
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: too much weight on his shoulders, which I totally understand.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: And they didn't have to.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But what I think is nice for him is that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: the Troy pass pro has been really good. They've put
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: their pass protection has been great, which sounds kind of,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I guess contradictory for me to say, because you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: they only a throw They only throw it like five
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to ten times game, so it's nothing crazy, But for
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: an offensive scheme like that, the few times you do
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: throw it on play actions like that, You've got to
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: make sure you give the guy good protection. So it's
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: really huge that the Troy offensive line continues to keep
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: giving Shafe for a good pocket, which they have so far.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: So we'll see how that goes against the competition is
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: against tougher and tougher down the road. But congrats to
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Troy on a great win. They move on to the
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: second round.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Of the Classics.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Just four playoffs and I should have looked U up
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: before we started recording, but this, I mean Troy's first
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: ever playoff win was in twenty nineteen, so I would
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: assume that, I mean, this is like, what the third
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: straight year they wont to playoff? Gat fourth straight year
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: they want a playoff game, So I guess they are
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: continuing their winning streaking the.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Play Well, they didn't win.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: They didn't win in twenty twenty, so not four, Oh
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I see what you mean.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so like years winning a playoff game because they
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: had gone they literally had I mean from the advent
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: of the current playoff system. And I think was that, Yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: that's awesome for them, that's so huge, So congrats and
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Troy for continuing to impress in the playoffs.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Huge for that program, and we'll see they keep it up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I think they had three previous I think they won
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: three district championships in the prior system way back when,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: but way back when.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But I guess it was nothing. It was nothing. They
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: never really did anything crazy. Well, it was it was
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: harder to qualify. Yeah, and but then and then when
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: they got to the playoffs. They must have always lost
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: in the first round. Yeah, yeah, I know, but they
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: had lost in the first round of playoffs.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: And the because they've always been a Class six, they
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: never had to buy.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they had always really it was really it's
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: really hard in class six.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, congrats to Troy on on winning that game. Francis Allen,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: by the way, I mean that this is a team
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: who always wins in the playoffs.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: This is their second year consecutive year where they've lost
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the first round in the playoffs.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: That will change, it should I'm confident that will change
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: next year.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, Chuck comes back, which is nice.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Uh, Jen Ballard is graduating, so that's that's a pretty
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: big loss.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And honestly, like and Troy did a great job of
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: bottling up Hall's run game for the most part, and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: it was really only Chuck who had you know, he
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: had some numerous first down runs and they were they
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: did a pretty good.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Job at utilizing Chop.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: So I was kind of I wouldn't say I was impressed,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: but I was like kind of pleased to see a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: pretty good game out of him for the most part.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Like he he did whatever, he did what he could
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for how to win that game, and he was defense
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: just couldn't get.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: A stop, which is kind of how it was kind
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: of the opposite of that earlier in the season for
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: how and that was that what was kind of struggling
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: to get out of the gate and they were totally
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: relying on Ballard. But it looks like near the end
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of the year Treck kind of stepped into it well,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: meet some good throws, especially to Speckert, which that connection
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think should be pretty good for him next year.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: So hopefully can build on that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully they can like return some lineman that's been
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a kind of a problem the last two years. Not
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a big problem, but they just haven't been able to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: have like the greatest run schemes or just run blocking
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and but so they should have a good passing attack
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: next year. So if they return some linemen, yeah, they're
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: going to be in decent shape.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: It just and like they they had, they lost a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: lot of kids last year to graduation on a team
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that was just okay last.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Year too, So it was always going to be a
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: little a little bit difficult.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But but they this is still a very competitive Francis
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: House football team though. They just they got they got
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: no breaks as far as like the scheduling goes for them,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and then.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: That goes for the playoffs as well. How to go
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: how to go to Troy in the first round is
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: going to be pretty difficult.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I'm assuming you want to talk about
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the le Do in my CDs.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Game start contrast to last week.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, the Dude wins the War on Warson twenty to seventeen.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: This is a pretty interesting game. Both teams started off
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: really slowly on offense.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I mean I think first two drives or three and outs,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I want to say, or by.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Both teams first four drives.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I know M I CDs. I think M CDs had
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: one first down through three drives. DO had zero first
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: downs through their first two drives. But they made some
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: changes at quarterback this week where they put Evan Vay,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: who's a junior. He's been a receiver all year and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: played some cornerback, getting recruited by some D one schools.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: He's got a few offers.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: He's got a few big ten offers from Perdue in Wisconsin,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and I know Maszoo is tracking him pretty closely as well.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And as an athlete, I think he impressed yesterday with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a eighty eight yard rushing touchdown out of a triple
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: option run that I think, I really think we do
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: should look into a lot more because they were a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: lot different on They had a much different look offensively,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and even though the scoreboard didn't reflect it entirely, they
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: did it just a much better job of moving the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: football than they have done for most of the season.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So that was a big play to really get things going.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And then m I CDs responded with back to back
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: touchdown drives from catches from touchdown receptions from by Henry Rowan,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: who had a great catches.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I think with the do they're they're what they're trying
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: to do?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: That they that's just from LJ. Tripple, I should say
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: They will do has shown flashes with different offensive personnel sets,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: like when they put when they put by in at QB,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: it pretty much is the wildcat. I think he attempted
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: to pass, yes, so it's pretty much the wildcat. I
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: mean when he goes into QB, you kind of know
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that they're going to go for either just a wildcat
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: on balance loop they'll just run up the gut, or
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: they'll run some kind of option attack which.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Works pretty well.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: And then if they put Jack Kensley back in there.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I think Hensley played okay. I don't think play a
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: perfect game, but especially that the drive to end the
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: first half was absolutely massive for lad and Hensley had
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: that that was.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: His best ride of the season.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe he was three for three throwing the ball.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: He had a great scramble to get a first down four.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I think he had four passes and completed.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he ran in for a touchdown near
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: the end of the drive.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: So that was a huge drive for him.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: But he also made some other mistakes.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: But I think at least for l the do you
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: have these guys that aren't aren't gonna consistently give you
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: thirty five forty points in a game, but if you
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: can just maybe find a certain situation to use them, like, Okay,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: you got a good two minute droll guy with Hensley,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: you know what you're gonna do there? Maybe if you
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: got time to work with you go with Vie in
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the wildcat trying to run some option.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll see how they attack that.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, lad has some good athletes they can mess
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: around with and shoot, they can dial out some trick plays.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: But the hook and Ladder played a Mason Martin.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: That was beautiful. I mean that was game winning score.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The the m I CDs, the entire MICS coaching
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: staff was kind of just lost the words after that
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: because there's there's not much you can say after a
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: team executes a play like that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if lad has ever run that play
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: because I've never seen Ludoo do that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I mean that it was execute perfectly, I mean it
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: was It.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Was a it was a quick throw, quick catch, quick
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: pitch back to Martin. And Martin is fast for he's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: very four or.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Five forty yard dash and he's six three thirty.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Is he is very fast, and he was able to
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: get down the sideline with the head of steam and
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: that was that was the difference maker, and that made
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: it that made it seventeen to twenty and the pat
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: was missed, and that at that point, it's like, oh, okay,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: miss pat. There's eight minutes left in the second and
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: in the third quarter. I mean, shoot that m CDs
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: might take advantage of that, but nearly did.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Huge goal line stand by LaDue.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Huge goal line stand.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: So earlier in the game, there was a questionable call
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: where mi CS ran out of the wildcat and the
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: referee ruled that the runner was not in the end zone.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: I was standing at the goal line.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: It looked so the runner's knee was the knee was
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: definitely not in the end zone, but from my point
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: of view, it looked like the ball was over the
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: goal line.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: So in my opinion, and I.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Know a couple of other folks that were there on
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the sideline agreed with me, I mean it was a
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: close call, yeah, but it was that was that was
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: a game changing call because m i CDs ended up
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: having a settle for a field goal because they'll do
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: had a great goal line stand and then another good
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: goal on standing later in the game as well.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Another big play. I don't know.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think MICS got down to the goal line
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: after that I don't think. I don't think they ever
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: saw the red zone the rest of the game. But
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: another big play on that drive. It was still they
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: still had a third and one, but then a very
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: rare center false start on in my CDs, yeah, pushing
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: back five yards, they run a pass we'll do stops them,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and then they MCS really had no choice about kick
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: field goal at that point to make it twenty to seven,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: twenty seven heen. Then it was just it was a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: defensive battle the rest of the way. I mean, nobody
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: really threatened at all. LaDou had some had a few
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: plays where they mixed in Martin at running back, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: which I like personally because I think better things are
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: going to happen when either when Vi and Martin are
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: touching the ball, especially on the same play, or one
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: of them are usually good things are going.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: To happen for the news.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: So hopefully for their sake, they really tap into that
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: going forward. And then Ladu's defense absolutely looked dialed in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in the second half. And you know they I know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I said, they looked they got a top ten defense
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in classified at least at least that day. They looked
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: like they did because they did a really good job.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: They might see us.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: They got pretty good weapons offensively, they did a good
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: job containing LJ. Triplett, and you know, he was able.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: He had to, you know, scramble a lot, and they
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: were able to cover Graham Faust and Henry Rohan and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Gabe Weaver. Weaver had some nice problem He had some
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: nice couple of yards after receptions and did a prett
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: good jo of covering him too, because they were I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: guess they were trying to get him the ball but
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: just weren't able to and you had to.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: You had to something.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: The combination of Ladue's pass rush and good zone coverage
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: kind of just forced I CDs this entire pass game too,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to force a deep ball to Henry Rohan.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: That was pretty much all it might say, this is
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: the passing game.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, they they, I know, the dude try to
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: keep Martin on Weaver as much as they could, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Martin did a really good job. Was just preventing the
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: ball to come Weaver's way and that kind of open
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: stuff up on the backside. But that was pretty tough
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: for triple to see with the pressure coming pretty quickly,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: and that would have forced a very experienced those kinds
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: of throws with pressure in your face and you have
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: to make the second read of the backside. That requires
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: a pretty experience could be to make that throw and
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: you know, hopefully triple in the rams and I don't
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess will triple to junior. He's a senior.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. They graduated a lot of seniors, so a lot
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of key players.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess, I mean, I know, I know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I wish for.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Is a junior.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: He'll be back, He'll be back. I guess he'll be
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: the QB next year. He he played QB for a bit.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: They kind of rotated, well, I know, Trippa was tackled
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: kind of funny in the third quarter.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: He came back though, so.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: He well, he did come back. I mean, they were
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: kind of rotating those two.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It looked like he was the main guy, and then
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: for certain situations they put in Minette and he had
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a big well. First off, lou has some big fourth
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: down stops where they snuffed out a play action pass
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: on fourth down and sack Triplett and then.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Logan play the games.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Logan. Oh, he had a big tackle, huge tackle for
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: a loss.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Fourth down and one and with about two and a
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: half minutes to play.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: M I c S has been.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: They they had been struggling all ever since that goal
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: line stand. They really had a really hard time moving
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the football after that.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Justin Bishop had a lot of really really good runs,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: but I think.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: He wasn't the running back on that play though.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I think just in that situation, the m CDs
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: running game was getting kind of stale, and they weren't.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: They just weren't really creative with their run blocking schemes.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: So Ludo didn't really have to adjust to much because
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: they weren't getting much any different looks.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: To an at them.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so while there were flashes with the m CDs
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: running game, I mean Bishop was a really good running
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: back of that game. The stats aren't unfortunately, That's why
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: we haven't really said many individual player stats. But the
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: defense really cracked down on the front seven, which I
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: think played a really good all game, came through in
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the clutch, and this this win I think really, I mean,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: if you lod like you know, you're looking at the
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: game next weekends. Here's what East, which you've already won
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: this season, so you're looking to win it again. But
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I think this win, especially to get seven wins against
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: the rival up the street, that I'm not going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: say it's your super Bowl now, but it's completely changed
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the tone of your season because if they lose this game,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: then you finished the year six and three or three
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: straight losses, one of which to a team you have
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: no business losing too.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: That could have been a horrible, horrible way to end
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the season.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: But the defense clutched up, they won the game, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: the whole narrative shifted, which is so huge, and hopefully
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: they can ride that wave to into the next week.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: But it'll be a tough game. He's what he is,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: a good team, so we'll see how that ends up.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I've got a lot of things to say.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: First off, Gus Logan with the play that probably the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: season play the season, but well, the play of the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: season's got to be the hook and lateral got to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: be game win, game winning score. But what Logan, The
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: play he made was a close second where he just
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: he it wasn't he was kind of lined up as
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a linebacker a little bit. But he's been so good
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: at just tracking down and chasing down running backs when
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: plays are going to the outside and he's made a
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: kind of a living doing that this season, and he's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: one of the better safeties in the area just as
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a sophomore. And I just you know, watching that play
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: like filming that you got to you get to see
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the like simultaneously the sidelines and the crowded were opped
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: at the same time. So I get it's just one
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: of those special plays that's gonna be remembered for a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: long time.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: And at LEDU and and they.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Were able to and they were actually able to get
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a first down after that, they had the still had
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to burn some clock and Evan Bay got a fourteen
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: yard first down run and that was it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, the games this was.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: If he wasn't in the Wildcat, would do would have
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they would have had to pump the ball away again
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: because I don't think they would have gotten the first down. Uh,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: They've had trouble all season kind of icing games like that,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: but now that they if I gives them a better
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he just gives them a different look offensively, especially running
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the ball.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: So that was big. And then yeah, you're.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Absolutely right Roman with kind of the the optics of
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that of that win, I would have been really proud
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of the effort had they lost. Just if if M
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: suggestsed like drive down field and score Lodu doesn't win,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I still would have been proudly effort because that was
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a great game. You know, effort was great overall. And
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, beating a rival is big.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And you know, they can't.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Really officially can't say M I CDs had a winning
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: record because they're now finished five and five and that's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: not a winning record.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: But uh, I want to talk about that real quick.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: But uh, but before that, yeah, yeah, you would have
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: ended the season with a three game losing streak, finishing
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: six and four, and it would have meant that that
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: would have been the fourth straight season of not winning
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: more than more than at least seven games.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: And now they've kind of broken through that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I've definitely had at times of you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: questioned and you know, the coaching staff at times, but
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: they've done a good job, like coach Hampton's done a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: good job this season, like you can you can really
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: say that now seven and three, and Ludu has been
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: so good whenever they've had a lead.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: It's this is.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Actually been going back a while now, not just not
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just this team, but has been really good when they've
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: had a lead in the fourth quarter, and they've won
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: every game where they have led in the fourth quarter,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: which is a great quality to have as a team.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It means they're the defense is locking down, and you know,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the offense just did enough in the second half. I mean,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: after that hilk and lateral, their next first down was
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the first down that ended the game. Essentially, they only
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: had two first downs in the entire second half and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: that was enough, which says a lot about the defense.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I just can't say enough about.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: The you know, the community support with you know, going
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: into this game on both sides. I think I thought
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: both crowds were good for those who showed up at
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: least I know that both sets of I think I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: think time out, time out, LADU student section, that was awful.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were about twenty to you there at kickoff.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Come on, that's terrible. You got to get better than that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I don't care that it's on a Saturday. I don't
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: care that it's a little colder outside than it has
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: been previous weeks.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't that.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Get to the game show some support.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, it got better in the second quarter, but
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: come on I've got that's a bad look.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: It's a bad game.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: The same thing with him my CDs. They didn't have
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: a student section.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: That wasn't really a surprise, no, And the parents were great.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there was a lot of other locals who
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: came by too. There's a lot of people standing around
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the concourse, which was nice. Like all those people were great,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: which is expected, but yeah, students have got to do better.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Well, dude, there's too many kids that go to that
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: school for they're to be like I'm not exaggerating. They
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: were probably forty to fifty kids in the student section
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: at kickoff.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know if like the that's not good.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the soccer team was playing having
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a game that day, cause like I because I know
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: like they supported like the field hockey team who is
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: in the Elite eight, which is cool, but I don't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think I saw any of them at the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: football game, which is like come on, guys, like this
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: is this is football, this is the most popular sport,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Like what are you doing on a Saturday? And it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: hard to get through to them, like, hey, do you
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: know how many times like this is only a tenth
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: time in history that these two teams have ever played
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: each other, And like, come on, I cit it's like,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you know you don't like them, right, So no, but Roman,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know about I know you were driving in
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: but at least for the first time ever, you really
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: knew you were in Lado just because you were on
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: driving down Warson Road and you saw all the Ladoo
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: flags there.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: That was pretty cool. I've never I've never seen that.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I just know it was a It was just a
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: bunch of Lado moms who just got up early and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: just planted all those flags around through Arson Road, which
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: is pretty.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Cool, I thought. And that's r in my CDs.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I mean this that was a talented team they had,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and so for them to go five and five, that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: not good. I think they should have done a little
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: bit better, a little bit better than that. And then
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: also I got to say, I mean there was another
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: narrative going into this game where you know, because for
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, Adam Hamilton and Matt
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Irvan were the two finalists for the lad job and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: they gave.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: It to Hamilton, you know, and well didn't didn't know
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I s CDs higher matt I before after.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Was after, it was after so.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And I don't think a whole lot was made into that,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: but but I think everybody who was kind of involved
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: knew it and it didn't really seem like to be
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: a big thing at all. But I just think just
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: for Ladue's sake and for Coach Hamilton's sake, like if again,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: if they would have lost that, I think like, oh,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: did we really make the right decision? But no, they did,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and they already had before that too. It's it's been
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: overall good and I've actually I've heard of a lot
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: of nice stories, like with players just kind of growing
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: because of this team and this coaching staff too, So
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: that's really good to hear. So anyway, uh, yeah, that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of content when when we're
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: at the same game, we're gonna talk about it a lot.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: So and especially if it's a Le dou game, John
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: will definitely be happy to talk about that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That was a game I'm gonna remember
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: for a very long time, like tenth of edition between them.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I see, yes, and would do. It was a playoff
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: game and even I would love it. It would be great,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: It'd be a great rivalry and.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: It was great like that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Do you want to talk about the fight at Yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I have to mention this.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: There was a free there was a m I ces
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: No it was uh I think so. I think LaDue
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: punted it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: No, well, yeah, no, LaDue kicked off his right after
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: they tied the game fourteen to fourteenth.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: They kicked off.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: There was two Ludus personal fouls on the kickoff return,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: which pushed the ball to like the lad thirty five
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: yard line. M I c s through three passes. One
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of them was nearly caught by Rohan. If it wasn't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: for triple coverage, he probably would have caught that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And then on the third throw with like six seconds ago,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Gus Logan picked it off in the end zone, ran
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it back.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: H m I c s.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Lineman just it was fair tackle because he's in bounds,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: like it just kind of hammered him.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: It was a good hit. And then two l dou players.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Kind of sticking up for Logan, Like there their competitive
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: heart I can see is kind of in the right
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: place because they're let me finish. They were sticking up
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: for their teammate, which is okay, that's good for camaraderie.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: But that was the wrong decision, like don't don't get
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: yourself kicked out in any ways.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: You know, so too.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: The do players got ejected actually.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: One actually I got updated news. It was only one.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: It was just one Large.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Eli Large got rejected and then he was a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: starting cornerback and then the other one.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: They would they just kind of the administrations just.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Made a unilateral decisions like hey, just just I think
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: for the sake, for the sake of the team, we're
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: just going to take you out, just to help everybody.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Soft.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a soft benching, and I think from
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: what I've heard, like the player was okay with it
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: and apologized. So that's good. You live and you learning,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and that was it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: It was, you know, look like temper it could have
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: gotten bad.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: The bench is almost cleared.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but fortunately the coaching staffs were able to calm
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: things down pretty quickly.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Which which I can amind.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And you see that those every once in a while,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not going to get in it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: There's just nut job.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: We're not We're not going that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not good.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a guy who wanted us to draw a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: massive conclu leusions before we really knew much about the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: whole situation. So yeah, it is what it is and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: it worked out fine. And then after the game players
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: were it was actually really classy and really nice. Yeah yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: so all right, that that's it. The ram LDO Rams
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: advanced to the Classified Districtury semi finals, where they will
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: rematch Hazelodiast even last year they played last year in
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the semi finals as well.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: So now several Illinois side games to talk about. Oh Linburg, okay,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: we got to talk about Okay, I didn't know. So
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get all the Missouri games out of the way.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: And that's and that's the last one. Okay.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah that was that really was the last close seeing
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: those area games. I guess we will talk about that.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: It was a good game.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: It was Oakville defeats Lindberg. Final score nineteen to seventeen.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: This one was really scrappy. Lindberg offensively, the Russian attack
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: was somewhat improved, but just not enough. Had one hundred
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: and three third years the team four and a half
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: yards for carry. That's not bad and that's not terrible, but.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: It's just it's not close.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Sixty nine rushing yards from your two running backs, it's
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: just not going to cut it. Yeah, it's not including
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bangert's rushing yards at quarterback.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: But Jameson Honey is the player of the game for
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Lindberg here with three sacks. Max Bradley, I would think
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: this is probably his best game of the year given
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: the playoff game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, two and four to.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: One passing yards on nine completions. That's averaging over twenty
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: six yards per completion. Especially Max Semkitas Simochitas four catches
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: for one hundred and forty four yards thirty six yards
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: per reception.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: He had a ridiculous touchdown reception right before the first
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: half ended.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so incredible stuff from them.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Jack Delzi sixteen tackles, Eli Eddell fourteen tackles. I know
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: we've mentioned Edel throughout this year, how great he's been
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: defensively for the Tigers, and defense.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Comes through great here.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: The only lost seventeen points and they Tigers offense does
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: just enough to get it done.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Tigers. We filmed this game.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It's on YouTube, which is why I know a little
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: about this game, because I've watched it a few times. Now,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Oakfild's defense came up big in the fourth quarter. They
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: had back to back interceptions. The first one was a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: screen pass that was intercepted kind of a miscommunication I
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: think on Limberg's end, and they were just there to
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: kind of catch it. And then the second one Lindberg.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was pretty scary for Roakfield because Lindberg
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: they would have driven ninety nine yards or if they
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: would have scored at least they still they probably would
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: have just setted for a field goal because it was
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you know, time was running out. But they did have
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: some time on their side and they were driving. They
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: were across midfield, but they threw a pass over the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: middle and it was picked off by Oakville.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Forget who it was, but yeah, that that was crucial.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you're when you're only up by two
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and knowing knowing a team could kick a field goal
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and beat you in the dying seconds, let alone a touchdown,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that's there's a lot of pressure on both teams right there.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: So which is I mean, it doesn't really you know,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: bum's like that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't get better than that, because that's why that's
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: why you play football, to be in moments like that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and so yeah, Oakville had a great atmosphere.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Their students did a lot better, much better job than
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Ladue's student section, I must say.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I mean they were like, they had like confetti at
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, and they were just kind
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: of celebrating a lot because Oakfield doesn't typically typically get
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: home playoff games, and they especially don't typically win them,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: get when they get the opportunity. So they they got
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: a nice win over Lindbergh. I assume their rivals, they've
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: played each other a decent amount of times the last
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: few years, and people South County schools. Yeah, so it
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: was a it was a well played game by both teams,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: and Oakville moves on where they will go down to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the Pitt in Jackson this coming week.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a tough one. Yes, that's gonna be
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: a tough one.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, well, yeah, I mean you kind of heard how
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I said there were not many one score games in Missouri.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: So before we.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Move on to the Illinoist side, I guess I'll just
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: briefly mention some of the other scores. Small West Handle
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Business against Frances Soile Central they advance. That was it
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: for the Class six of the Missouri side. Fox beat
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Popular Bluff by a lot, great way for the Warriors.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: They move on to play Farmington. That should be a
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: very interesting game. Summit crushed Parkway South wasn't really much
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: of a surprise.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Parkway West crush Parkway Central forty nine to thirteen.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, north Point handles business against them.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: All South got revenge, did Yeah.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: They they cut down the turnovers and they they beat them.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: That was a game that was Yeah, how they really
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: should have been beaten them? Forty nothing?
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, I get I get for you enough.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I expected North Point to win probably by like twenty
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: one points or so, so fort you to nothing does
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: definitely impress me. I mean, they still had a couple
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: of fourth Point still had two interceptions. They threw two interceptions,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: but they still had some turnovers. But I'm guessing though
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Tavy Williams had a good game. He was twenty four
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: to thirty four, three forty eight yards, three touchdowns, so
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: a good game from him. They ran the ball pretty well,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: so overall improvement from North Point.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: So they move on.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: They will play Parkway West this week.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: That should be interesting, Yes it will.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Timberland beats them all this pret Well East pretty easily.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Here's the Wood West. They beat Al North in the
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: ninete We.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Thought Max Preps said that it was a seventy four.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a typo on max Preps and it
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: said that Hazewood West won seventy four to seven.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And no, no, it was it was. It was in
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the third quarter as well. It wasn't it wasn't over.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: And I was at first, I was like, yeah, there's
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: no way, so I has a double check that I
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: was not.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Fortunately not sure.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Uh. It was fun though well lasted. Yeah. People were
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: freaking out over that.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Oh and then speaking of lopside results, the most lopsided
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: one was Cardinal Ritter beating McClure twenty Yeah, seven seventy
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: zero seventy eight zero.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, why are we doing this, Missia?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Why are we doing it?
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Because everybody gets a chance to win a state championship.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: I love participation.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Moving on, and Shamanad also crushed review review. Not much
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: of a surprise, yeah. Uh and Webster Groves beat Midle
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Career by a lot. Not much of a surprise there either.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Milic Career slash for Shawn slash Roosevelt I.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Think, yeah, yeah, Luther North they crushed the glue. North
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Jennings had a forfeit went against confluence.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Normally.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: This round is just a mess. Normandy forfeited, complete freaking mass.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Normandy forfeitted against Saint Genevieve at three fifteen pm on Friday,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: So I.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Guess we will talk about this right now, literally less
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: than four hours until when kickoff was supposed to happen.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Normandy forfeits the game against Saint Genevieve and one of
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: just the most clashless.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Things you've seen in recent memory. I mean, if you.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Explain people how that's classless, it's so okay. Normandy is
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: a tough spot. They don't have much, they don't have
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: any guys there. They're not very good, so they they
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: probably don't even want to play. They need to come
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: to that decision earlier in the week, like early, as
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: early as they.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Possibly can, like on Monday. Yeah, see which guys you
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: have that are healthy?
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: See if you want to play, and if you don't
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: want to play, fine, just tell Saint Genevieve because that
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: completely changes Saint Genevie's a way of approaching this week
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: and next week. Because if no one need tells Saint
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Genevieve earlier in the week that they're just gonna forfeit.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Saint Genevieve is like, okay, Dawn, if we wanted to play,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: or I guess they wanted to play, I would assume
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: they wanted to play.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: But Saint Genevieve is.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Probably gonna say, Dawn, that sucks, but whatever, thank you
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: for letting us know. Will now change how we prepare
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: because a lot of times, if you have to buy
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: a week, then some teams just let the guys have
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: the day off on Monday and then just do some
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: light work on Tuesday, maybe have a full practice Wednesday
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: or Thursday, then do a walk through on Friday, maybe
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: some film on Saturday, and then the next week you
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: kind of treat it normal. But for this week, they're
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: treating it as an amal week where they're having a
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: full practice. And especially when you get to the playoffs,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys are banged up, so you try
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: and take it light whenever you can.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: So I'm not sure.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know some coaches like by week, some
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: coaches don't, but I'm assuming that you know, if Saint
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Genevieve would given the opportunity, they would probably take it
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: by a week rather than what happened here.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I mean they probably have guys who
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: are carrying injuries, you know, so it's good time that
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, you could use that just get russed up.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So it's just it totally classics by Normandy.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: And I hate kicking a dog while he's down, but
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: they should not.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Be doing that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a horrible, horrible look for Normandy and
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: they absolutely should have let Saint Genevieve know earlier. I mean,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the the only, the only logical explanation for this would
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: be because they said that they couldn't play the due
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: to a lack of players.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: So unless.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Unless five or six players got injured in pe class
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: in third hour on Friday, then what other explanation could
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: you possibly have? I mean, come on that. That's a
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: horrible look for Normandy. And I don't care if people
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: get mad with me for saying this. It's just the truth.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Sat Jennevie was not happy to hear that news.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Their coach, their head coach, tweeted about it. I mean
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: that's how we know it. Yeah, he made it, he
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: made it known. Yeah, it's just it's not a good luck,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: which should Yeah, he made it known, and what should
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: tell you. I think a lot of what his feelings
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: are about that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: It's not a good look.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: And it also it it totally. I think it shreds
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: the narrative of every team wants this tenth game, which
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: is not true. Not every team wants this tenth game.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes if a team's having a bad season nine
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: one and eight, two and seven, it's just like, you
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: know what, let's call out a season. That's just let's
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: just let's just end it. Let's go all seasons, start
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: working for next year, and we'll get it over with.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: And this is just it's it's it's a bad look.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: And that wasn't only forfeit of the weekend normally forfeited.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: I believe there were two forfeits in Class four Yeah Southeast,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: which is school Yeah Southeast in Kansas City.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: They had to forfeit.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Against Nevada and then Confluence had a four foot Agast Jennings.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: The PHL is in complete shambles, and we'll actually dedicate
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: an entire episode of that of the playoffs end. But yeah,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: just a total freaking mess in weekend for the Missouri side.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: That was just the best way I.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Can describe it, honestly.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, overall, it's just how many games, how many like right,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: three good games that we talked about. That's it, all right,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the Illinois side a lot more fun,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: much more fun. I want to start with I think
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the best result this season. Sorry, not this season, but
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: this week was Waterloo upsetting Mount Zion fourteen thirteen on
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the road, eleven seed taking out a sixth seed, and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: that was a Mount Zion team who was ranked eighth
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: in Class four. So this was it kind of came
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere a little bit. We knew that Waterloo
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: is capable of being really competitive and staying close with
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: good teams. I mean, they've done that all season. Both
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: their losses were not blowouts, their close games, and maybe
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: they're actually kind of unfortunate to lose the Columbia. Yeah,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: that was kind of a tough loss for them.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Conrad Lyndhorst with one of the wildest stat lines we'll
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: ever see.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: He scored both touchdowns for Waterloo.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: He won on a QB sneak.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: He was two of.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Eight passing for twenty yards, four carries for one yard,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: and two touchdowns. You almost never see that, but hey,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: he got the job done. The QB sneaks were effective
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: and the Waterloo defense came through so well. They had
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Tanner Chamblain had a sack, kayleb buston Age and kend
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Richard both had an interception, and like al chrender the
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: way and tackles own, Neebrookie led the way in tackles
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: and Neebrookie and Duress Sales again show off one of
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the best one to two punches in any backfield in
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: the area.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it really gets.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Great stuff for the Bulldogs. Great upset win. Hopefully can
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: keep this momentum going. And I know Mount Zion being
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: booted from the playoffs makes several teams in Class four happy.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, well it would have.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: The thought going into it was when the Seeds were
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: going is like, oh, Rochester and Mountainzion if they both win,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: they get the rematch in the second round. But in
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: this case, Rochester might be We'll see how it turns out.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: They might be happy to play Waterloo. I'm assuming they are.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they're thinking, except the drive is
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: not gonna be so great because they're gonna have to go
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: all the way down to Monroe County in Waterloo, Illinois
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: to go face the Bulldogs in the second round. And
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Central is happy, because I know
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: they've got I think it's a respectful little playoff robber
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: they have against Mountain Zion's they played each other a
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: lot they they were Mountain Zion was the only team
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: they have beaten Pree Central this season forty six thirty six.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: So I gotta say that.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Claws Cam Little just hit the longest field goal INFL history,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: a sixty eight yarder.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: We have to.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: That's crazy. I'm sorry there, but that's history.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: One day somebody's going to hit a seventy yarder, it's probably.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: Going to be seen that it might be him sixty
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: eight yards. That's crazy.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: Going about Mount Zion, Mount Zion nice to get.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: It's nice to least see an instant reaction like that.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's crazy.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: So water they held Mount Zion to one touchdown and
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: that was in the first two minutes of the game,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and then they held them. I think, what what was
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the huge difference in this game? I don't know which
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: one big play was the biggest play, but there's probably
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: equally multiply huge plays in the game. Where I was,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I read the twitter the some reporter from the cater
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: area I'm assuming was tweeting about the game for Mountain
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Zion and he said they Mount Zion had three red
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: zone red zone visits and you know, only came away
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: with like a touchdown in two field goals and then
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I think a few other times they did where they
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: didn't even score. Wow, so in the first half. So
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: that was totally viable for vital for Waterloo there. And
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: then we got to shout out de Rez Sales, who
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: with his performance he is now the all time leading
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: rusher and yards and touchdowns and Waterloo I think, I
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: don't know about touchdowns, but like, yeah, rushing yards and
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Waterloo history all.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Time bulldog for sure.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Amazing career for Sales, absolutely, And you know, it's just
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: cool that, like I said this on the previous show,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: that you know, in real time you can acknowledge a
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: player like that while they're still going and it's really cool.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so I mean this is this.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Is the best Waterloo football has been in a very
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: long time. I mean, going back to twenty twenty two,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: or they made it to the playoffs for the first
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: time in nineteen ninety four. Now three years later, I
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: think I think were they in there a year ago
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: or something. I'll check real quick, because I don't think
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: they made it back in twenty twenty three.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, last, of course, my member is bad. Yeah,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: they went nine to two last year.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: This year now they're seven and three, and yeah, they're
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: they're doing a pretty good job right now. And I think,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think many people are gonna give
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: them a chance against Rochester, but at home in the playoffs,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: anything can happen.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a great crowd, it's gonna be a
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: fantastic environment in Waterlan.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: It will weakend, It'll be a great crowd for sure.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: And as of right now, if I'm looking at that
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: right November seventh, seven pm game time, I don't know
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: if that's official, but that's what Steela.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Day has and we might have to get someone out
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: of that game.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Okay, what what is next on the agenda?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: We can talk about Tokya Okrea business for the second
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: time over Centralia.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cookia approving that they should in the higher seed,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: but I guess it works out for them in the
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: end because that to get a home game. This week,
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Cokia defeats centrally a forty four to twenty two.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: That's what I was saying.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: We talked about the big one two punch between Sales
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: and Nebroogie and Waterloo. The Commandities have one two punch
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: of their own with Makayia Henderson and Donald Collier Junior,
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: who are two really good running backs, each of which
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: had well over one hundred yards this game also average
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: over five yards per carry, and the Commanities as a
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: team had three to thirteen rushing yards over six yards
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: per carry. Incredible rushing attack for them. Their offense was
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: able to do pretty much whatever they wanted the entire game.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: They also had three sacks the team. Just a totally
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: dominant win by Kokia.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Great way to start the playoffs for them.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: They are now eight and two and they come in
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: and that they actually there was an upset to where
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville defeated in the in the Class four bracket.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: And need to pull this up because I forgot who
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Action will beat? Oh gosh, well, who was it?
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: Jacksonville?
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: It was the one they were the sixteen seed and
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: they beat the one seed. You're looking at class one there,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it's class four.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: My interesting website is being dumb. It's just a little slow.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So Jacksonville was the sixteen seed and they beat
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Richland County, who was the one seed, by two. So
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: now Kokia gets a home game against.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: The sixteen seed. And you know, jackson was a good team.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: For sure. It was a great game.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Forty seriously, So now, okay, this this, this happens every.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: Year we're in Class four.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: The bottom half of the bracket gets three or four
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Metroeese teams Illinois heavy, I know, so and so okay,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: and we'll talk about the other games in a second.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: But we got Centralia or Centraliakahokia and one of the.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have a quarter finalists, guaranteed.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: We're guaranteed to have a quarter finalists because brit Central
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: and Freeburg play each other, and then yet Waterloo down
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: there on the lower side of the brackets. So in
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: a perfect warl world, we have Waterloo versus either a
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Brie Central Freeburg or Cookia.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: In the final four. That would be the.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Ideal scenario because again, we just want to see as
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: many Metro East teams move on as possible and they'd
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: be really cool. But yeah, so Cookie took care of business.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: They got a great road ahead of them. Breef Central,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: they also took care of business. They want easily forty
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: eight to fifteen over Columbia. Another dominant win by the
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Cougars where they've just other than the Mountains Island game,
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: they've been just running everybody over. I mean, they had
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: the close winnings Rock Sanna, but i mean just this
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: is another game where it looks like Cole Davis and yeah,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: col Davis is pretty much just able to do whatever
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: he wanted, just running all over Columbia. And Cameron Biggs
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: also had a litod game. Owen Care a good game
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: at QB. They held Columbia to just two hundred forty
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: four yards on offense. And yeah, very dominant win for
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: the Cougars.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just keep rolling.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: They've been really, really tough to beat over the last
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: handful of seasons at home in the playoffs, and they've
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: got a lot of home playoff games and yeah, they've
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: been they've been on fire and it's been another great
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: year for them.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: And they will play Highland Highland, they will play Freeburg
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: who beat Highland. Sorry, I totally I was looking at
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: the game and yeah, Freeburg beats Highland forty six to
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: thirty six. An exciting game for Freeberg. Joseph Carmack had
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: a fantastic game ten to thirteen, passing for tutor yards,
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and he had ten rushes for.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: One hundred ninety three yards.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: One of the best single game performances we've ever seen
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: from Freeburg QB so great, great game from him.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: They as a team.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: By the way, Carmak, he's only a sophomore.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, that's good. Good future over there in Freeburg.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah they do. They do.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Cooper kids getting left the way and tackles as well
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: for them.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: Dean Dresser head or over ten tackles as well. Great,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: great game for Freeberg. And now we got two nine
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: to one teams going out in the quarter finals.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Hochi and Mississippi's Mississippi teams yep I wouldn't actually had
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the lead fourteen thirteen at halftime. At Freeburg had a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: huge third quarter go up, take a this is on
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: send point lead.
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: This is on Saturday at brief Central.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, I have never been to a game at bri Central,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: and I've always wanted to go.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: I'm tempted to go. I'm not sure.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know where I'm going to be there. I
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: don't know where I'm gonna be on Saturday. There's a
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: lot of good games.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of good games in the Illinois side,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: and I would love to see one. So fans, let
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: us know which game we should go to on Saturday.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't. I don't. I don't want
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: to trust it to the fans.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: As much as I respect the fans, I just I
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: map things out my own way. But no, it's gonna
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: be It's gonna be a great week of football. There's
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: good that's just great because there's a lot of a
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: lot of Illinois teams one in our area this week,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: so that gives us a lot of options. We're still
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: figuring it all out, but we for Friday, we kind
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: of got our schedule mostly made up and we got
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: a few guys going to other player is h Illinois
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: wise on Saturday, and I'm still trying to map out
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: where I'm going to go.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: One of the best results we saw all week and
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: was Beville East. They defeated West Aurora forty eight to
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: thirty four in a really exciting game up there in
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: the Chicago area. The stats are not in unfortunately on
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Saint thus High School Sports.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: But Caden had a great game of quarterback. I know
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: that much.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: That's awesome to see.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, for the Lancers, they're now eight and
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: two with the two losses being to Edwardsville and East
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis, And I mean, shoot, just a fantastic season
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: so far for the Lancers and coach Michael Harrison doing
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: a great job there.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: They had the.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Solid, you solid year last year they finished six and
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: four at the playoffs, but.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: They've been pretty good these last three years.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to be eight and two, just improving, that's that's
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: so great. And you know they got oh man, this
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: is tough draw. They got probably the best team, well.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I arguably the best team in Illinois.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: Mount Carmel is a machine. And so if for those
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: on the Missouri side are not aware the the top
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: tier of Illinois high school football, I would say there's
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: three teams you could maybe argue for, but there's three
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: teams that are absolutely in the highest tier of Illinois
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: football historically, and that is.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Mount Carmel in Chicago, East St.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Louis and Juliette Catholic EA Saint Louis leads an all
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: time wins and then Mount Carmel leads in all time
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: state championships. I believe they have sixteen now and East
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Louis I think has like thirty more wins in total
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: with I think it's well. East Lewis has eleven state
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: champions but now I.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Believe East Louis has eleven. Mount Carmel has sixteen.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's close. And then Cigarehart Griffin. I would
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: say they're kind of knocking on the door there for
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: that top tier four.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: They have four state titles, yeah, and they're kind of
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: not quite where they were a decade ago now. So
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I think they're very well respected program in central Illinois,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: but they're they're kind of on a smaller universe.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Go to these schools here.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: But for for football junkies who are aware of the
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: name Jordan Lynch, he was the former Northern Illinois quarterback
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: who was actually a Heisman finalist in his playing days.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: He went to Mount Carmel and then it's Northern one one. Obviously.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: He is now their coach and the Caravan have actually
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: won three state titles in a row and they're undefeated
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: so far. They're at ten and zero and they're in an
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: absolute machine up there. They're to make a comparison, they're
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: pretty much and imagine if CBC and just smet like
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: combined and and we're the powerhouse of Chicago every year.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what Mount Carmel is, the all boys
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Catholic school up there. They are insane pretty much every year.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: And Bubble West got West, Beubo East got to host
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: them this week, so that should be very interesting. That
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: this game is going to be on Saturday at four
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: o'clock in Belleville, So that's yeah, that says well, at
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: least Hospital Sports says four pm.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna double check the bracket real quick to see
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: if that says the time.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they have them out yet.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Yep, it's Saturday, Saturday, A build the least at four o'clock.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: That should be very interesting really quickly.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that should be a fun one. So again, another
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: great game going on the on the waist side, some
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: great that this might be the best weekend of football
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: on the metro least in quite a long time.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: Just to go to East Lewis real quick. They no
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: surprise to the carab business against Plainfield East. They won
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: sixty three to seven. And they're gonna be at Shadham
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Glenwood this week. Great program up there in Shatham, just south,
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: just south of Springfield, and their stadium is awesome. I
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: would have loved. I'm not gonna go to the game
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: this week because I might at it's a little far
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: and I think there's more. I think we'll get to
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: this in a bit. I don't think that game is
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: gonna be that close.
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: But Glenn Woo's got one of the better programs in.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Central Illinois south of one A I A.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: Their stadium is huge and they have a great fan
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: base there, so that should be very very fun.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: It's really really good town and community there and it's
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: growing as well.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: So really good quarterback and they had a pretty good
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: victory all things considered, over Juliette Catholic, who is the
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: sixteen seed.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: But this is a.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Very battle tested JCA football team and they beat them
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: seventeen to twelve. And this is a team like Juliet
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: They played Mount Carmel. They they're in the they're in
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: the you know, the the whatever they call the Catholic League,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: and it was just arguably it's probably the best football
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: league in all the Midwest.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: All yeah, conference, they come on, I just say, trying
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: to find the conference what it's called exactly. The Hilltoppers
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: and Juliette Catholic they're in the CCL, the.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Chicago Catholic League.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you look at their like new like Providence
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: play Marist.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think now he's their name? Is any that
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: that good? But it's yeah.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: So Julia Catholic had played Mount Carmel, they played they
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: just played glenmb but obviously they played Glenbard West, who's
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: always a great team.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: They played Lions, who's eight and two. This year they.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Played Academy Fenwick who was seven and three. Ye, like Nazareth,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Academy's favored to win Class five. Yeah, along with Kerry Grove, who,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: by the way or not class Yeah.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: You see, Lewis fans don't worry. Here goes do in classics.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: You're good. You're good. The runway is clear exactly.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, there are no Trojans on the runway this year.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: The flyers aren't clear for takeoff. That is funny. Yeah,
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: congrats ate st Lewis on the big win that there
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: wasn't that much of a surprise.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it will talk about the Glenwood He's saying Lewis games.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: So maybe the runway isn't totally clear, but uh, at
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: least at least they're not gonna be running a triple option.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: Yeap Rock Sanna. They get a great win. They defeat
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: Frankfurt fifty five to twenty six. And if you look
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: at the seeding perspective on an upset, I mean Rox
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Sanna was eleven seed and West Frankfort was the sixth seed.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was. I looked at I'm sorry
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: to cut you off.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: I looked I saw some film with West Frankfurt and
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: you know, seeing Rox Sanna, who they've played this season.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: They've been in.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Every game they've been in, it has been close, and
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: they've lost a few close games, like they like only
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: lost thirty one twenty Debree Central. It's just looking at
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: West Central schedule and who they played. I thought this
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: was actually a pretty easy pick, to be honest, and
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: it scored kind of reflected that.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: And I guess one more Illinois Elloys team that won Dupo.
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: They win their playoff game in I guess semi convincingly.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: They defeat Salt four twenty eight to seven.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was not really it didn't seem
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: like it was ever that close.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Just following along the score.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were kind of just as we're at the
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: dou we were just kind of checking twere you're looking
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: for the score, And it looked like Dupeou's defense was
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: just totally in control the entire game, which.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Is good because their defense is typically not is really
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: not their strong suits. So they're able to, you know,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: do what they typically do offensively, not in big chunks,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: but their Yeah, their defense was able to step up.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: So now that they're at nine to one, and they
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: got a very interesting matchup against Carrollton this week, so that.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: One should be fun, Yes, it is.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: That should be very fun in Class one.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: And that'll be at two pm and Carrollton, and so
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: it's definitely not gonna be a far drive.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Carleton's really just a little bit north.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: They're just north of Jersey County, with fifteen miles north
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: of Jersey County, just outside of our coverage area. So
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: it's it's not gonna be a long drive for the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Dupot folks. By the way, I first win for Dupo
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs since nineteen ninety four.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's awesome. Congratulations Tigers. Way to break the ice
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: on that one. That's huge.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Good work guys, Yes, the Tigers all right, any other
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's it.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: I know some Olingwood teams that lost this weekend on Edwardsville.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: They kind of kept it close to the end there,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: but they ultimately fall to Richard's High School up there
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: in Oaklawn.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, thirty they were it was thirty three to fourteen final,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: but they were losing thirty three to nothing at one
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: point there.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, Mascooter lost their game to Bloomington.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, high scoring game. Alton Marquette lost, no surprise, they
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: lost forty two to fourteen to two seed Carterville. But
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: good for them that It was really good for the
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Explorers to get back into the playoffs. And I think
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: that's just how they're going to remember the season.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think they mind it that much they lost,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I think they're just pretty happy to get
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and that's that's just fine for them and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Wesklin gave Johnston City a pretty good game. They lost
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: thirty thirty eight to twenty five. Johnson City was the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: one seed in the South. Brocket Westland was the sixteen seed.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: They'll play the winner of Monroe Forsyth who beat Chester,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Who's I guess we're technically not saying they're in our
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: area anymore, but they're really close and they put up
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: a good fight against Monroe Forsyth. But unfortunately the Chester
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: for the second year in a row, got eliminated by
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: the moreau Foreside Trojans twenty six to fourteen.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: Brutal.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the little East side very fun weekend and
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: it should be this, Okay, This second weekend of the
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: playoffs is honestly funny because the first weekend is usually
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: kind of a dud because the Missouri side has next
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: to nothing going on. But the second weekend of Missouri
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: is always a lot of fun.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And the second week of second weekend in Illinois is.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: This.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: You could argue this.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: Week is the best week of the season because you
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: have the most teams playing and almost I mean, and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: there's just so many good games. Like I know, when
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: we were picking the top fifteen games a week to cover.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: It was tough, I mean, were there were several games
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: that we consider putting in there that we had to
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: leave out. But yeah, this is gonna be a really
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: really good week I mean we're spoiled rotten with great
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: games we could possibly, we could potentially go to this weekend.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: This is where it's really awesome to live in metro
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: area like Saint Louis when you're both in we have
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of schools in two.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: States, Missouri in Illinois.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: This is where it really comes into effect in the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: best way.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: Yep, for sure.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: So congratulations with teams that won playoff games this weekend,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: and if the teams had lost unfortunate but got to
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: work hard in the offseason get back to it and
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: hopes to do it in next year.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I wouldn't say yeah, I would the Limberg
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: losing to Oakville that was I'm sure it was kind
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: of heartbreaking for them.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: And I might see the s losing do in a.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Close game, you know, that's that sucks, you know, to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: arrival and really close game like that, but not really
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: any heartbreak like big heartbreaking brutal losses that I can
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: think of, and the that happened in our area this week.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: But you but actually some pretty good ones. Like we said,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: with Waterloo winning, that was awesome.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Getting an interception with about two minutes to play with
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Mountain Zion driving, you know, those those guys are gonna
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: you know again what that's gonna go down? And Waterloo lore,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. And that must have been an awesome bus
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: ride back home on Halloween night, So.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Those guys have got to remember that for the rest
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: of their lives. Oh yeah.

• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: to cover. And it's gonna be you know, multiply that
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: by ten. Honestly this coming week. It's gonna be a
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: lot and we're gonna we're gonna going to try and
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: get as many guys as possible to film games this week.
