- 0:22Speaker 1: For this one, we are just being here.
- 0:25Speaker 2: On through audio. We don't have the faces for this
- 0:29Speaker 2: show this time.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:31Speaker 4: Our computer equipment is not the most advanced, so that
- 0:34Speaker 4: the computer we're using to upload the video of our
- 0:38Speaker 4: episode we just recorded is too busy to record another.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Episode right now. It's what you're gonna do audio for
- 0:44Speaker 3: this one.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Hoping in the future, once we get a better interner connection,
- 0:47Speaker 4: we'll be able to do everything more streamlined and kind
- 0:50Speaker 4: of back to back.
- 0:50Speaker 2: So yeah, but no, we had a lot of fun
- 0:53Speaker 2: doing the show and we're looking forward to record more
- 0:55Speaker 2: shows as well, so we already feel a little comfortable
- 0:58Speaker 2: doing it too.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:59Speaker 4: So Week five games, the week first game we're gonna
- 1:02Speaker 4: talk about Columbia at Freeburg. Columbia seated by thirteen and
- 1:05Speaker 4: a half points over Inns forty five and a half.
- 1:07Speaker 4: It's game the Makokia missip Conference and Colombia coming off
- 1:12Speaker 4: a really nice one against Rock Santa where they were
- 1:15Speaker 4: able to kind of hold the Shells offense and check
- 1:17Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter especially and you know, given how
- 1:21Speaker 4: good the Columbia defense was, especially lay in the game,
- 1:23Speaker 4: and how inconsistent Freeburg's offense has been this year, I'm
- 1:27Speaker 4: gonna trust Columbia to come away with this one, and
- 1:29Speaker 4: I'll go with Colombia to cover, and I'll go with
- 1:31Speaker 4: you over.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Yeah, Colombia's defense was tested a little bit more against
- 1:35Speaker 2: Rock Sanna, but they were able to get it done
- 1:37Speaker 2: and their offense was able to step up to the plate,
- 1:40Speaker 2: which is a really good sign for them. So yeah,
- 1:42Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna, well, you know,
- 1:45Speaker 2: I will actually I agree on Columbia covering, but I
- 1:48Speaker 2: actually will take the under. I think their their defense
- 1:50Speaker 2: is gonna step up in this one, which they had
- 1:53Speaker 2: actually done a good job of doing thus far. And
- 1:55Speaker 2: then you know Freeburg's offense, I mean, I know, it's central,
- 2:00Speaker 2: they're really good. They got shut out, but they still
- 2:03Speaker 2: put up twenty two on Taylorville and then, uh so
- 2:07Speaker 2: that's kind of where my logic is going. Colombia's defense
- 2:09Speaker 2: has been pretty good, so that's why I'm gonna lean
- 2:11Speaker 2: with the under there.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Okay, next step number fourteen. Year of the Week A
- 2:15Speaker 4: little bit of an MCC match up. Here we got
- 2:17Speaker 4: De Smet at Vianni. Desmet favored by twelve and a
- 2:19Speaker 4: half points year of the over runers at fifty and
- 2:21Speaker 4: a half. De Smet coming off that pretty big loss
- 2:24Speaker 4: to CBC and then Viannie also coming off lost to
- 2:26Speaker 4: sham Nad and De Smet has beat Vianni five times
- 2:30Speaker 4: in a row. Last time Vianni won was a seventeen
- 2:32Speaker 4: to fourteen win back in twenty eighteen. And this Met
- 2:36Speaker 4: has really just owned the Griffins the past five years.
- 2:39Speaker 4: And while Vianni has taken a bit of a step
- 2:42Speaker 4: forward and this Met's taken a bit of a step back,
- 2:44Speaker 4: I still think the talent gap is a little too big.
- 2:48Speaker 3: I mean, we can't just ignore.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Gabe Cunningham or Gay Rodriguez passing stats.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Mean, he's been pretty good for.
- 2:57Speaker 4: The Sporting so far this year. But Sam Dean has
- 3:00Speaker 4: quietly had a really good year for Vianni as well.
- 3:02Speaker 4: So this is gonna be a nice QB battle to watch.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I expect a lot of points. So I'm gonna go
- 3:07Speaker 4: De Smet to cover here, and I'm gonna go with
- 3:08Speaker 4: you over.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam Dean has been.
- 3:13Speaker 2: He's been really good for Vianna all things considered.
- 3:17Speaker 1: When you know he's doing his best to put up.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Points, and they're scoring, they're they're they're averaging, they're they're
- 3:23Speaker 2: point average.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I'm getting that up real quick.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Here they're averaging thirty four points a game. Still their
- 3:30Speaker 2: defense is giving up twenty six a game. This it's
- 3:34Speaker 2: a little different here de Smet's giving up thirty five,
- 3:36Speaker 2: thirty five a game.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But you gotta look at who they've played so far.
- 3:41Speaker 2: CBC is definitely going to inflate anybody's defensive average for
- 3:44Speaker 2: the worse this season. So obviously not great for the
- 3:48Speaker 2: Smet there, But yeah, like you said, I think they're
- 3:52Speaker 2: still he's still got a little bit more talent than
- 3:55Speaker 2: well maybe not just a little bit more talent than Vianni.
- 3:59Speaker 2: And there's schedule has been really good thus far too
- 4:01Speaker 2: as well. You've got to take that into accounts. So yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 2: I'm gonna have this Mets cover and I will take
- 4:07Speaker 2: the over. Like I said, I think Sam Dean and
- 4:09Speaker 2: Vianni they're gonna put up some points, but I think
- 4:12Speaker 2: this Smet they're gonna lock in a little bit more offensively,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and I think their defense will just be a little
- 4:16Speaker 2: too much to overcome. So I can't imagine if they
- 4:20Speaker 2: Smet losing what happened. What's gonna happen if the Smet
- 4:23Speaker 2: loses this game though, because people are gonna.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Call for coach Barrett's job, which I think would be
- 4:27Speaker 4: an awful thing. It would be an awful awful.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Thing to say. But it was some Smet fans are
- 4:31Speaker 3: gonna get really upset that happens.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I think.
- 4:33Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna I think it's's gonna win,
- 4:36Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna be crazy things happen.
- 4:40Speaker 2: It would be Vianni's best win since they want to
- 4:42Speaker 2: one state. Yeah, if not just like a quality win,
- 4:46Speaker 2: but just like for what that would stand as a statement.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Yeah, So there you go.
- 4:53Speaker 2: I guess there's a little pressure on the Smet right there.
- 4:55Speaker 2: There is kind of some pressure on this game. Oh yeah,
- 4:57Speaker 2: there's gotta be a little bit next up.
- 4:59Speaker 3: I know the mentual East.
- 5:00Speaker 4: We got Highland at triad a Highland thir by twelve
- 5:02Speaker 4: and a half points. Here the over runners at forty
- 5:05Speaker 4: six and a half. Highland is actually they had a
- 5:08Speaker 4: bye week in week three. It looks like when I
- 5:09Speaker 4: was Nasal Sports.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That's correct, two and.
- 5:11Speaker 4: One so far in the year, with wins against Jacksonville
- 5:14Speaker 4: and Jerseyville.
- 5:15Speaker 2: That Jerseyville game is closer than I would have anticipated.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Highland's one losses forty two to twenty six to a
- 5:21Speaker 4: decent all to off team and Triad. I believe the
- 5:24Speaker 4: other two and two right now squeaked one out against
- 5:28Speaker 4: Moral last week and then defeated all In sixteen to
- 5:30Speaker 4: zero back in week three. So this, I mean, this
- 5:36Speaker 4: is gonna be an interesting one. I mean the Triad
- 5:37Speaker 4: offense has been kind of slow so far.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I mean they have us honestly.
- 5:43Speaker 4: They have not been able to pass the ball really
- 5:45Speaker 4: well at all. I mean, Jacob Otle is a decent
- 5:48Speaker 4: running back. He's averaging word.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Five yards for Kerry.
- 5:50Speaker 4: He's their main rusher for Triad. But you know, Highland's
- 5:55Speaker 4: been pretty good defensively other than.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Against All TAF. I don't know this.
- 6:02Speaker 4: It's like both teams have been somewhat inconsistent so far.
- 6:05Speaker 4: I am gonna go with I'll go with Tryad to cover,
- 6:08Speaker 4: but Highland.
- 6:09Speaker 3: To win, and I will go with the under.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that's kind of what I'm thinking
- 6:13Speaker 1: as well.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I just you know, Highland had a great game against
- 6:18Speaker 2: Jacksonville to start out offensively. But yeah, that was just
- 6:24Speaker 2: interesting how they were able to kind of they They
- 6:26Speaker 2: had a good start to the game against Jerseyville, like
- 6:29Speaker 2: got out to a twenty Yeah, they led twenty six
- 6:32Speaker 2: to seven, but then just didn't. They didn't score the
- 6:36Speaker 2: rest of the game after their early second quarter score.
- 6:39Speaker 2: So interesting how I guess I gotta give some credit
- 6:43Speaker 2: to Jerseyville for their maybe some adjustments they made. But yeah,
- 6:47Speaker 2: I'm still gonna go with Highland in this one.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Do I have Triad covering? It's just interesting.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the under, but you know what, I
- 6:59Speaker 2: will go with Island to covering here. I just I
- 7:03Speaker 2: just don't know about Tryad's offense. It's been a struggle. Yeah,
- 7:06Speaker 2: and I think, you know, I just trust Highland that
- 7:09Speaker 2: they're gonna just, you know, find a way.
- 7:10Speaker 1: To I really think I think it would kind of
- 7:12Speaker 1: be a shock.
- 7:12Speaker 2: That Highland loses, honestly, But I'm thinking more about the
- 7:17Speaker 2: cover of the spread.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Did they do that? I will, I'll, I'll I trust
- 7:20Speaker 1: them enough to do that, So yes.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Staying in the measure East.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Next up massive Southwest Conference game here we get Edwardsville
- 7:27Speaker 4: at double East. The Lancers are fired by six and
- 7:29Speaker 4: a half points here the over runs at sixty and
- 7:31Speaker 4: a half. Edwardsville got back on track with the winnings
- 7:34Speaker 4: Bubble West last week. The defense was still a bit shaky,
- 7:37Speaker 4: but the offense was able to turn up enough and
- 7:39Speaker 4: get it done. So they're now one to three Bible
- 7:41Speaker 4: East there four and oh Lancers have looked really good
- 7:45Speaker 4: coming off of twenty three zero winnings to O'Fallon. Kind
- 7:48Speaker 4: of a weird score there, honestly, I mean they it
- 7:53Speaker 4: was only seven to zero a halftime, Yeah, and it
- 7:55Speaker 4: was nine zero at the end of the third quarter.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I think Highland's a better team that I mean, you know,
- 7:59Speaker 1: found a better team this year.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Oh found is a better team and.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I still don't expect that though.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Yeah, only two off o the touchdowns from Bubble East.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Was especially after saying Belvill East coming off with a
- 8:11Speaker 2: great win overall tough.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe they overlood him a little bit.
- 8:17Speaker 3: You can probably why with Edwardsville coming up.
- 8:20Speaker 1: That's we have no idea they did that though, but.
- 8:24Speaker 2: You could kind of envision that happening. So but yeah,
- 8:28Speaker 2: definitely a weird scorer.
- 8:30Speaker 1: You're right, I don't know. This is This is a
- 8:32Speaker 1: tough one to predict.
- 8:33Speaker 4: It is, I I think. I mean Caden Wood's had
- 8:38Speaker 4: a good year for East throwing the ball. I mean,
- 8:40Speaker 4: he's in a decent year. And then Josh Ware's going
- 8:43Speaker 4: to a good unning back for him.
- 8:46Speaker 1: So their defense has been.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Has been pretty good.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Yes, the defense is what what I trust. And if
- 8:52Speaker 4: Edwardsville can't get an offense goal Edwards of a lot
- 8:56Speaker 4: of fielder's gonna have to score at least forty points
- 8:57Speaker 4: to win this game.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I would say at least thirty.
- 9:00Speaker 3: And yeah, do I trust their defense to hold Double
- 9:06Speaker 3: East to less than thirty? I don't know.
- 9:09Speaker 4: It's hard to at this point. So I'm gonna go
- 9:12Speaker 4: with Double East to cover and I'm gonna go with
- 9:14Speaker 4: the over.
- 9:17Speaker 1: All. Right, let's see, I think this is.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Gonna needs this way. If they wanted to playoffs, they
- 9:22Speaker 3: need the.
- 9:25Speaker 2: I'm gonna take that over by the way. Yeah, so hmm,
- 9:32Speaker 2: I think as of right now, I don't think. I
- 9:35Speaker 2: don't know who's gonna win right now, but this is
- 9:41Speaker 2: a different Edwardsville team this year. They just are I'm
- 9:44Speaker 2: you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna have to pick
- 9:47Speaker 2: edwards East to cover. I'm gonna pick double East to
- 9:49Speaker 2: cover this game. I mean they just Edwardsville hasn't shown
- 9:51Speaker 2: enough for you know me that at least doubt myself
- 9:55Speaker 2: to really kind of think that they're gonna pull this
- 9:58Speaker 2: out right now.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're defenses.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Unless their defense really makes a lot of improvements, I
- 10:03Speaker 2: mean that it's just gonna be like a game day
- 10:05Speaker 2: thing where you know, prove it to us now when
- 10:08Speaker 2: you can really kind of slow down another opposing team there,
- 10:12Speaker 2: So then yeah, you gotta give a lot of credit
- 10:13Speaker 2: to be at least defenses as well. So yeah, if
- 10:17Speaker 2: they can hold Everardsville I think under twenty, then they
- 10:20Speaker 2: got a really good shot at winning this.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Game, all right.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Next top head back over in Missouri side. Remember eleven
- 10:26Speaker 4: game of the week, we got Patentville at Lafayette. The
- 10:28Speaker 4: Lancers are fed by sixteen and a half points. Serie
- 10:30Speaker 4: overruns at fifty two and a half. Fad was coming
- 10:33Speaker 4: off that prey exciting win they had against written O
- 10:35Speaker 4: where they came back and won.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Trevor Beckerman off to a nice start for the Pirates.
- 10:39Speaker 4: He's already over one thousand yards passing, nine touchdowns to
- 10:42Speaker 4: five interceptions, and then for Lafayette they were able to
- 10:47Speaker 4: destroy I think it was Parker Central, I believe.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty five nothing. Yeah, geez, that was expected though. Yeah.
- 10:54Speaker 3: So that's three blowout, shutout wins for Lafayette so.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Far, and then it'll win a really good win over Kirkwood. Yeah.
- 11:00Speaker 3: I mean, Lafayette is looking like a top five team
- 11:03Speaker 3: in the area the way they're playing so far.
- 11:05Speaker 2: We have them number three in our area rankings, and
- 11:07Speaker 2: they have looked the part.
- 11:08Speaker 4: I mean, Brady me S has been great, even her
- 11:10Speaker 4: fifty one passing yards so far, ten touchdowns, only one reception.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Cody Keane has been decent running backs so far, but
- 11:17Speaker 4: they're not really a running team. And then Rance Bills
- 11:22Speaker 4: hasn't you know, little up on the statue, but he's
- 11:24Speaker 4: been good for him. And then Tim Washington as well.
- 11:26Speaker 4: He leads the he actually leads the team in receiving
- 11:28Speaker 4: yards so far.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I think that's really important because it's not just you know, look,
- 11:33Speaker 2: they got looks like three four guys who are very
- 11:37Speaker 2: capable receiver, and I think it's really good to have
- 11:40Speaker 2: that variety. And then you have a guy like Bill's
- 11:42Speaker 2: who's capable of, you know, putting on a great performance,
- 11:45Speaker 2: you know, every any given night.
- 11:46Speaker 1: And he actually had a he actually had a really
- 11:48Speaker 1: great touchdown reception.
- 11:49Speaker 2: It was like about fifty yarder and he caught it
- 11:51Speaker 2: one handed right the end zone.
- 11:53Speaker 1: So that was great. Then Brady me sex having he's
- 11:57Speaker 1: one of the better quarterbacks in the area.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Ten touchdowns, one reception, eight hundred and fifty one yards,
- 12:02Speaker 2: and then he's also got one hundred and sixty one
- 12:04Speaker 2: rushing yards on the ground with two touchdowns as well.
- 12:06Speaker 1: So you know he can he can hurt you with
- 12:08Speaker 1: his with his arm and his legs.
- 12:10Speaker 4: And Baron James the defensive line with for Lafia, it's
- 12:12Speaker 4: also off to a nine start.
- 12:13Speaker 3: He's got four sacks so far in the year. I
- 12:15Speaker 3: think Pattin was a solid team and I think they're
- 12:17Speaker 3: getting better week by week.
- 12:19Speaker 4: But I think Lafayes is too much. I'm gonna go
- 12:20Speaker 4: with Flafiat to cover head.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the over.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly with with that. I think Pattonville
- 12:27Speaker 2: can be a tough team to beat, but in this case,
- 12:30Speaker 2: Lafayette they are. They're a lot. They are a lot
- 12:33Speaker 2: to ultimately take down.
- 12:36Speaker 4: All right, Next up, we got Saint Dominic against Cape Central.
- 12:41Speaker 4: This game is gonna be in o fallen. Saint Dominic
- 12:43Speaker 4: faired by nineteen and a half points here in the
- 12:45Speaker 4: over under his app.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Nineteen and eighty six and a half.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Wow. Okay, Saint Dominic is four and oh it's coming
- 12:51Speaker 4: off a nice win against Park Hills Central forty two
- 12:53Speaker 4: to twenty one. Yet to really be in a close
- 12:56Speaker 4: game this this year so far. I mean, Saint Charles
- 12:59Speaker 4: West Nobody aren't the best teams, but a decent border team.
- 13:01Speaker 4: They're able to beat them by twenty five, and they
- 13:03Speaker 4: beat Parkill CenTra by twenty one. Cape Gerardo of course
- 13:07Speaker 4: gotta go to Michige because as two Sports is not
- 13:09Speaker 4: gonna have them.
- 13:09Speaker 1: They're also undefeated.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Interestingly, let's see who they Let's see who they played.
- 13:15Speaker 2: They haven't played it. I don't think a great schedule
- 13:17Speaker 2: so far, but they're they're they're good, they have been good,
- 13:23Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna be okay.
- 13:25Speaker 4: So Cape Central has played New Magic, County Central, Saint
- 13:28Speaker 4: Charles West, Sexton, and Poplar Bluff.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Okay, they only beat Poplar Bluff by six.
- 13:33Speaker 3: That's not a good sign. No, okay, I guess that's
- 13:35Speaker 3: spread next four sense now.
- 13:37Speaker 1: A little bit. I still think here's what I think.
- 13:40Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with.
- 13:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to catch cutch of off. I think
- 13:44Speaker 4: the offensive talent here for St. Dominic is too good.
- 13:47Speaker 4: Britain Shaheen and QB has been insane so far. I
- 13:50Speaker 4: mean again, haven't been the best competition, but he's got
- 13:52Speaker 4: fifteen passing touchdowns to zero interceptions so far.
- 13:55Speaker 1: That's really good.
- 13:56Speaker 2: That's hard to do even against crappy cop not crappy.
- 14:00Speaker 2: I should have said that even against not great competition.
- 14:03Speaker 2: But then you throw in like a Borgia and a Holden. Actually,
- 14:06Speaker 2: I completely take that back. Borgia and Holden are actually
- 14:09Speaker 2: a decent team. So and they they still do that
- 14:11Speaker 2: against those guys, is that's pretty good.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and they got some dogs on defense to Jackson
- 14:17Speaker 4: Nixon and really think have been good for sytdonomics as well.
- 14:20Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Crusaders to cover here. I'm
- 14:22Speaker 3: gonna go with the under.
- 14:23Speaker 2: I will still go with Cape Central to cover because
- 14:27Speaker 2: I think that's just I just don't agree with that spread.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And uh, but I will.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Take how many points of Central put up, I'll I'll
- 14:42Speaker 2: still take the over though, Okay, I think there would
- 14:44Speaker 2: be a lot of points in this game.
- 14:46Speaker 3: All right.
- 14:47Speaker 4: Next up, we've got a Hazewood East at Parkway and North.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Parkway North here by four and a half points. Here
- 14:51Speaker 4: the Overners at thirty four and a half.
- 14:54Speaker 3: He's he's coming off unfortunate loss of the dou seventeen
- 14:58Speaker 3: to six.
- 15:00Speaker 4: And then Parkway North I believe they Yeah, they defeated
- 15:04Speaker 4: Marquette thirty to seven.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Their defense has been really good after allowing getting absolutely
- 15:08Speaker 2: blown out by Lafayette.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I mean, I guess really against pretty not great opposition.
- 15:13Speaker 4: It's it's gonna be tough to play Lafay at week one.
- 15:16Speaker 4: I mean, that's one of the most explosive offenses in
- 15:18Speaker 4: the whole state.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gotta be tough for the coaching staff and
- 15:21Speaker 3: Parking North to deal with.
- 15:22Speaker 4: But I mean to shut out McClure North and then
- 15:27Speaker 4: again PARKSENTI Marquete aren't.
- 15:28Speaker 1: The they're taking care of business.
- 15:29Speaker 3: They're taking care of business, so we had to give
- 15:31Speaker 3: them some credit there.
- 15:32Speaker 4: And he's the East offensively kind of stagnated A Biddings
- 15:37Speaker 4: la do. I mean the Due's got a decent front seven, so.
- 15:40Speaker 1: That you got to get defense.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta give them some credit there. But I
- 15:45Speaker 3: mean looking at this, and I think it's gonna be
- 15:46Speaker 3: defensive battle here.
- 15:48Speaker 2: I mean, jeez if Yeah, I think I think it's
- 15:53Speaker 2: gonna be pretty similar to the last year's game.
- 15:56Speaker 4: If if Terrence Little can get going and get one
- 15:58Speaker 4: hundred and fifty plus yards at Hazewoo Eastier.
- 16:02Speaker 3: But I mean, I don't know. I mean, Parkway North
- 16:05Speaker 3: defense has been pretty good. This is a tough. This
- 16:09Speaker 3: is a tough one.
- 16:09Speaker 1: As I'm talking myself through it, I'm taking that under.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I know this is a really short over under,
- 16:16Speaker 4: but I'm I still might to the under.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is gonna be tough. I'm gonna
- 16:22Speaker 3: go with. Man, I'm gonna go with I'll go with
- 16:26Speaker 3: North to cover.
- 16:27Speaker 4: And I'll go with the under. But this is this
- 16:29Speaker 4: is a very reluctant picks. I think this would be
- 16:30Speaker 4: a very close game.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 16:35Speaker 2: I think I think North it can do a pretty
- 16:37Speaker 2: good job defensively. I mean, they did a really good
- 16:39Speaker 2: job last year and they returned a lot of those
- 16:40Speaker 2: guys that came back from last year on their defense,
- 16:45Speaker 2: and I think like East had a better offense than
- 16:47Speaker 2: last year.
- 16:48Speaker 1: So I know one of their one of their.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Players, uh Beon Hens, who scored their long touchdown against
- 16:56Speaker 2: the duo. He came out after that, I think touchdown
- 16:59Speaker 2: didn't return, so I don't know what that means with
- 17:01Speaker 2: his going into the next game. But he's a key
- 17:04Speaker 2: player for their offense for sure. But both these teams
- 17:07Speaker 2: had pretty good defenses. I'm still ultimately gonna I'm gonna
- 17:11Speaker 2: pick Parkway North and I do have them covering, I'm gonna.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Go with We'll take that under.
- 17:15Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with North because they forced a lot
- 17:17Speaker 4: of turnovers this year and if that can keep up,
- 17:20Speaker 4: I'd like their chances.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Yeah, and against and they were really good.
- 17:22Speaker 2: They shown to be pretty good against teams like a
- 17:25Speaker 2: Hazwelod East, where against them against a triple option like that,
- 17:29Speaker 2: it's just all about assignments and they're pretty good at
- 17:32Speaker 2: hammering that home with their coaches to their players, and
- 17:35Speaker 2: their players are typically good at executing that stuff all right.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Next up over to a huge Jeffcoe rival where we
- 17:42Speaker 4: got Hillsboro at festus Festest heard by five and a
- 17:47Speaker 4: half points.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Here the over runs at fifty and a half.
- 17:49Speaker 4: Both teams come into this game at three and one.
- 17:54Speaker 4: I still can't believe the Week two matchup between Hal
- 17:58Speaker 4: Central and Festus and then a seven to zero win.
- 18:02Speaker 3: No, I that doesn't.
- 18:06Speaker 4: I don't think that's correct, honestly, no, no, no, no no.
- 18:09Speaker 4: I thought Festest was four and oh. And then I
- 18:10Speaker 4: go in to high school sports and it says they're
- 18:13Speaker 4: three and one, and I.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Excused, No, they're four and o.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I was gonna say, because.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I was okay.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Yeah, SOS has that s two?
- 18:23Speaker 3: High School Sports has that wrong? Because I was getting
- 18:26Speaker 3: okay that okay.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Yeah, Well they had they had the park right North
- 18:29Speaker 2: Park Central game wrong because they had a Parker Central
- 18:31Speaker 2: winning seven nothing, but it was forty five to seven.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:33Speaker 4: So for instance, they beat Festus beat House Central thirty
- 18:36Speaker 4: five seven in week two, but for whatever reason, escal
- 18:38Speaker 4: High School Sports says that.
- 18:39Speaker 3: The score was zero to seven in favor of al Central.
- 18:43Speaker 1: So they don't have Festest's scores.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Fess, this is four and oh coming off thirty three
- 18:48Speaker 4: zero win against De Soto. Hillsboro is three and one,
- 18:50Speaker 4: but it's a very strong three and one. They're one
- 18:51Speaker 4: loss coming to slew High, a very good Sleu High team.
- 18:56Speaker 3: This one's gonna be interesting.
- 18:57Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's rivaled the rivalry game. Parker
- 19:04Speaker 4: Perry has been a deep, pretty good Q for QB
- 19:06Speaker 4: for Festis so far, Leontay Williams been a decent form
- 19:09Speaker 4: out of the backfield. And you know it's been for
- 19:15Speaker 4: a while. Hillsborough had their number had fastest number. I
- 19:18Speaker 4: mean they had won six in a row from twenty
- 19:21Speaker 4: twenty one to twenty twenty three and then include a
- 19:22Speaker 4: bunch of playoff games. But Festus was able to take
- 19:25Speaker 4: advantage of him last year the fourteen to seven win.
- 19:28Speaker 4: And if Hillsborough's offense, I mean, they're three and one,
- 19:34Speaker 4: so I'm not gonna complain about him too much, but
- 19:37Speaker 4: I feel like their offense has they're doing I mean,
- 19:42Speaker 4: only twenty seven points against Washington against a pretty bad
- 19:46Speaker 4: Washington team.
- 19:46Speaker 3: I think Hillsborough should be doing a lot better than that.
- 19:50Speaker 4: So I'm actually gonna go with Festest to cover here,
- 19:53Speaker 4: and I'm gonna go with under.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like this fastest team a lot obviously
- 19:59Speaker 2: ranked so confused zero come on sports, Well, I think
- 20:04Speaker 2: I think that might be on Festus.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 20:08Speaker 2: It's all about recording your stats, but uh yeah, I'll
- 20:13Speaker 2: have Festus covering.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I like their offense, and I will I'll take I'll
- 20:21Speaker 1: take the under.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Obviously, Well last year is different because they had a
- 20:26Speaker 2: lot of good guys last year Festus.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I mean their offense.
- 20:29Speaker 2: They've really liked their offense since the offseason, but it
- 20:32Speaker 2: was they've kind of been a little that was one.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I think they're probably their biggest question going into the
- 20:36Speaker 2: season is like, how's their defense going to be? And
- 20:40Speaker 2: you know, I think so far they've done a decent job,
- 20:43Speaker 2: a pretty decent job with that. Obviously they're undefeated. Probably
- 20:47Speaker 2: going to be their biggest test so far. I mean,
- 20:49Speaker 2: I know Francis how Central as an alright team, but
- 20:54Speaker 2: given that a tills bro it's a rivalry game and
- 20:56Speaker 2: they still got de Smet Farmington and Jackson coming up.
- 20:59Speaker 2: So this is this is actually a really vital game
- 21:01Speaker 2: for It's for both teams, it really is, but maybe
- 21:04Speaker 2: a little more so for Festus because I just think
- 21:07Speaker 2: what they have coming up in their last three games
- 21:09Speaker 2: of the season, So not that why I'm picking them,
- 21:12Speaker 2: but I just I like them overall, so I do
- 21:14Speaker 2: have them covering and I will I will take the
- 21:16Speaker 2: under still.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Okay, next up, we got Secment at Oakville SECM seven
- 21:22Speaker 4: and a half points here, the over winners have forty
- 21:24Speaker 4: one and a half.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Both these teams come into this game with a solid
- 21:26Speaker 3: three and one. Both teams had a pretty easy victories
- 21:32Speaker 3: Week four, almost identical scores.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Second defeated Melville by a final score of fifty three
- 21:36Speaker 4: to zero and Oakville defeated hazel Old West by score
- 21:41Speaker 4: fifty four to zero. So similar situations here. And Oakville's
- 21:49Speaker 4: offense has been has taken a step.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Forward this year for sure. I mean, fifty four points
- 21:56Speaker 3: is it's.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Pretty good nomounter of who you play. Max Bradley not the
- 22:00Speaker 4: best start so far for him, but they've been able
- 22:03Speaker 4: to run the ball pretty well. Gavin Anderson's a pretty
- 22:05Speaker 4: running back there for Oakville, averaging over eleven yards per carry.
- 22:10Speaker 4: And then for Secondment they were able to they were
- 22:11Speaker 4: able to bounce back from that Week one loss to
- 22:13Speaker 4: our Parkway West and these we got so many more
- 22:20Speaker 4: close games this weekend last week. I'm not used to
- 22:23Speaker 4: pretty close games because they were almost none last week.
- 22:26Speaker 1: This is a more fun week coming up.
- 22:27Speaker 4: True Brody Cubes quietly having a really good year there
- 22:31Speaker 4: at QB.
- 22:31Speaker 1: For Secment, they want to pass more.
- 22:33Speaker 3: They do.
- 22:34Speaker 4: I mean, he's got seven and twenty nine passing yards
- 22:36Speaker 4: and eleven passing touchdowns, may lead their leading rusher doesn't
- 22:41Speaker 4: even have to have two hundred yards an on the ground,
- 22:43Speaker 4: So it looks like Segments really had to shift their
- 22:45Speaker 4: offense a bit for Prey.
- 22:46Speaker 2: I think they also might be a cause and effect
- 22:48Speaker 2: of I don't think they're all Their own line may
- 22:51Speaker 2: not be as good as run blocking this year, so
- 22:53Speaker 2: I think that's kind of It's like, I think if
- 22:56Speaker 2: they were, if they trusted their offensive line more, I
- 22:58Speaker 2: think they'd probably run the ball more, you know. We
- 23:00Speaker 2: I mean, we had to see that with Lindberg this season,
- 23:02Speaker 2: especially so and maybe Eureka too somewhat. So they'll say, like,
- 23:07Speaker 2: you know, we just want to throw the ball bar,
- 23:08Speaker 2: you know, just to expand our offense. But it's like, well,
- 23:10Speaker 2: there's also a reason that because probably maybe not as
- 23:13Speaker 2: good upfront running the ball. So I'm not saying that's
- 23:17Speaker 2: the case, but I wouldn't be surprised but it seems
- 23:21Speaker 2: to be working out already. I mean, it's good that
- 23:24Speaker 2: they can throw this this way. It's start to pick
- 23:29Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 23:31Speaker 1: What do you. I mean, they a really close game
- 23:34Speaker 1: against Fox, but they did.
- 23:35Speaker 2: They have a good forty nine and fourteen dominating went
- 23:38Speaker 2: over Northwest Eater Hill, which we can say is actually
- 23:41Speaker 2: kind of a decent.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Solids only lost so far. If they're only loss so far,
- 23:47Speaker 1: so you're taking, you're taking.
- 23:49Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Oakfield to cover here barely, and
- 23:52Speaker 4: I'll go with you over.
- 23:53Speaker 3: I still think Secon one's going to win. This should
- 23:56Speaker 3: be a close one.
- 23:57Speaker 4: I'm excited to see this one.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Segment has gotten the better of Oakville for quite a
- 24:02Speaker 2: while now.
- 24:04Speaker 1: This is Oakville's best team in a while. Two yes,
- 24:08Speaker 1: and Oakfille's. They've they've had a tougher schedule so far.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I mean they've had They they beat up on Limburg,
- 24:13Speaker 2: beat them by twenty, and then had the lead over
- 24:17Speaker 2: Summit for a good portion of that game. They actually
- 24:19Speaker 2: were winning at half. The Yeah, they were beating them
- 24:21Speaker 2: at halftime until Summit. Really they took over in the
- 24:24Speaker 2: third quarter in that game.
- 24:27Speaker 1: And then obviously had an easy victory over Hayswood West, So.
- 24:32Speaker 2: I am I think I agree with you. I have
- 24:35Speaker 2: Oakville covering and I'll take the over all.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Right.
- 24:41Speaker 4: Next up, we got Lipskim High School ont of Nationville,
- 24:44Speaker 4: Tennessee at CBC. CBC I favored about eighteen and a
- 24:47Speaker 4: half point shoot he over runs at fifty four and
- 24:49Speaker 4: a half CBC.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Coming off that massive rivalry win.
- 24:52Speaker 4: Against a smet and Lipscombe Tennessee, we talked about it
- 24:55Speaker 4: a bit in previous episode. They are at one and
- 24:58Speaker 4: four right now, I believe, and they are winning three
- 25:00Speaker 4: one of those two and Max Preps I think has
- 25:03Speaker 4: them ranked twenty fourth in Tennessee.
- 25:05Speaker 3: So they're a good team.
- 25:06Speaker 4: But they just purposely make a very difficult schedule to
- 25:09Speaker 4: challenge themselves. And you know that continues to here and
- 25:11Speaker 4: they come to come to lou to play CBC. And
- 25:14Speaker 4: Nick McClellan is quickly making his case as Metro Player
- 25:18Speaker 4: of the Year. Seriously, he's had even twenty five passing yards,
- 25:21Speaker 4: ten passing touchdowns, three or eighty six rushing yards six
- 25:24Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns, averaging over seventeen yards per carrier, which is insane.
- 25:28Speaker 3: And Vick Williams has also.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Had an incredible year with five and twenty four yards
- 25:32Speaker 4: on the ground so far, six touchdowns, almost sixteen yards
- 25:35Speaker 4: per carrier for him. I mean, this CBC offense and
- 25:37Speaker 4: offensive line is just insane. I mean it's it really
- 25:41Speaker 4: is reminding us of the CBC of old where they
- 25:43Speaker 4: were just destroyed old like.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Five years ago.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean three do maybe even two years ago
- 25:52Speaker 2: they were doing this to people.
- 25:55Speaker 3: They somewhat who was the last time they beat disnbed
- 25:57Speaker 3: that many points?
- 25:58Speaker 1: It's different because this that's down, it's part of it.
- 26:02Speaker 1: But point taken. Yeah, yes, But I.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Mean CBC is a machine.
- 26:06Speaker 4: I don't know too much about lipscumb but I trust
- 26:08Speaker 4: CBC to keep it rolling. I'm gonna go CBC to
- 26:10Speaker 4: cover here and I'm gonna go with the over.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm reading your mail on this one.
- 26:16Speaker 2: This is a really talented CBC team and lips them.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Let's lips comb.
- 26:21Speaker 2: They obviously play really talented schedule, really good schedule and
- 26:24Speaker 2: uh Burrows is CBC, Burrows Brothers CBC.
- 26:30Speaker 1: CBC is obviously a huge part of that.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Tough schedule for them, helps that they get to stay
- 26:36Speaker 2: in Saint Louis to play so I'm going with that,
- 26:41Speaker 2: and I think this is this CBC offense would give
- 26:44Speaker 2: most teams in the country a whole bunch of trouble.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I really believe that.
- 26:48Speaker 3: All right, next up into our top five games the leak.
- 26:51Speaker 4: We got Zumalt North at Liberty's North off there by
- 26:54Speaker 4: nine and a half points.
- 26:55Speaker 3: Here the overs have forty eight and a half.
- 26:58Speaker 4: Massive GC Central matchup here were North coming off a
- 27:01Speaker 4: pretty easy fourty eight zero wing against Washington, and then
- 27:04Speaker 4: Liberty coming off that heartbreaker fifty one to forty eight
- 27:07Speaker 4: lost North Point.
- 27:10Speaker 3: Jalen max is gonna be a problem, and it's kind
- 27:13Speaker 3: of given me.
- 27:16Speaker 4: If if Jalen Mack can do what Jayden Ballard did.
- 27:21Speaker 4: When Ballard played against Zimal and North with Francis Howell,
- 27:25Speaker 4: Zimal and North really lost that game because of two
- 27:27Speaker 4: huge plays and an offense completely couldn't figure it out
- 27:31Speaker 4: in the first half. I don't think Liberty's defense is
- 27:36Speaker 4: quite as good as Howell's defense. I mean, because Liberty Liberty,
- 27:40Speaker 4: I mean I'm talking about the more North lining big plays.
- 27:42Speaker 4: Liberty a lot a lot of big plays against North Point.
- 27:44Speaker 4: So I don't know if it's going to be just
- 27:46Speaker 4: a game full of big plays or reseee a bunch
- 27:48Speaker 4: of forty plus yard touchdowns.
- 27:50Speaker 1: But North would you consider them to be a big
- 27:53Speaker 1: play team?
- 27:55Speaker 4: Not usually, but they have the capability, right, So I mean,
- 28:01Speaker 4: I I would trust Zumall North more to because against
- 28:05Speaker 4: how they just could not get consistent drives going. But
- 28:08Speaker 4: they will to do that a lot better against Zumal
- 28:10Speaker 4: West and then especially against Washington.
- 28:12Speaker 3: So I'd say Zumal North is trending in the right direction.
- 28:15Speaker 2: What's up Liberty was Actually they played the run game
- 28:19Speaker 2: against North Point really well.
- 28:21Speaker 3: They did.
- 28:22Speaker 4: And you know, Liberty's offense, I have no qualms about it.
- 28:25Speaker 4: And Liberty's offense has been very good this year. But defensively,
- 28:29Speaker 4: they just they just they've they've broken. I mean, I
- 28:33Speaker 4: mean a lot of times the defensive take a Bendo
- 28:34Speaker 4: break approach, but they've broken.
- 28:35Speaker 2: It also took a I think I think what Tavern
- 28:39Speaker 2: Williams he could be a special quarterback too.
- 28:41Speaker 1: It did take a special quarterback to do that.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Field the thriller. Aposse has been a really good QB
- 28:46Speaker 3: for so far.
- 28:47Speaker 1: He's been good.
- 28:47Speaker 2: He's been in a different way than Williams, but yeah,
- 28:50Speaker 2: he's been really good. He's a good runner, great runner,
- 28:53Speaker 2: and then he can make some throws when he really
- 28:55Speaker 2: needs to.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Well, Liberty has yet to defeat him. All North once
- 28:59Speaker 3: their school system.
- 29:00Speaker 1: That's the other thing there.
- 29:01Speaker 4: Eleven wars now eleven another against Liberty. I think that
- 29:04Speaker 4: trend continues. I'm gonna go with f the end of
- 29:06Speaker 4: cover here, I'm gonna go with the over.
- 29:08Speaker 2: This is the best possible opportunity that Liberty's ever had
- 29:12Speaker 2: of beatings in Walt North.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Though, you gotta say that that's true.
- 29:15Speaker 4: I mean, these two teams, there's really never been a
- 29:19Speaker 4: close game between them. I mean the closest game had
- 29:23Speaker 4: the closest games have all been in the past three years,
- 29:25Speaker 4: but those have all.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Been twenty one point North wins.
- 29:28Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna I think what North finds a
- 29:32Speaker 2: way to win, but I will have Liberty covering and
- 29:34Speaker 2: I'll take the over.
- 29:37Speaker 1: All right, Next up, Actually I changed her mind. I'll
- 29:40Speaker 1: take the under.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Okay, yes, next up, heading over the Metro East back
- 29:45Speaker 4: in the Southwest Conference, got Bellvo West at East St.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Louis.
- 29:48Speaker 4: The Flyers are favored by twenty and a half the
- 29:51Speaker 4: fifty and a half East St. Louis got back into
- 29:57Speaker 4: their conference schedule last week with the pretty easy over Olden.
- 30:01Speaker 3: For the time being, East Lewis.
- 30:02Speaker 4: Has done playing nationally ranked teams in the top twenty,
- 30:06Speaker 4: and we'll go back to that when they go to Brandonton,
- 30:08Speaker 4: Florida later in the year to play IMG.
- 30:11Speaker 3: But yeah, they defeated Alton pretty easily.
- 30:14Speaker 4: They don't have their stats in, but I don't really
- 30:16Speaker 4: blame them they don't have I mean that's I could
- 30:20Speaker 4: imagine that, you know, Mott Coleman, my Son Johnson cooked
- 30:26Speaker 4: you already. Loston had good games they did.
- 30:28Speaker 3: I could imagine that they were they were the contributors there.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Yes, and you know Bubble West. I mean, you know,
- 30:35Speaker 4: the talent gap is pretty big here. So I do
- 30:37Speaker 4: expect East Lewis to win here. But I mean, Buble
- 30:41Speaker 4: West offense has been tough to stop so far. I mean,
- 30:45Speaker 4: Kaden Capel has been a really good dual threat QB
- 30:47Speaker 4: but four and twelve passing yards so far, six pass touchdowns,
- 30:50Speaker 4: and he also leads the easy second on the team
- 30:52Speaker 4: in rushing yards with three and forty eight rushing yards
- 30:54Speaker 4: and about nine yards for carry. And Isaiah Williams is
- 30:58Speaker 4: almost foreigner rushing yards and seven point excharspec Cary has
- 31:00Speaker 4: also been good for the Maroons.
- 31:02Speaker 3: So I think Double West is gonna be able to
- 31:05Speaker 3: put up some points here, but I mean eastn Lewis
- 31:08Speaker 3: it can be too much, so I'm gonna pick. Yeah,
- 31:10Speaker 3: it's a big spread though.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I'm picking St. Louis to cover.
- 31:15Speaker 3: I guess I agree. I'll go to East Lewis to
- 31:17Speaker 3: cover and.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I'll go the over and I'll take the over. Yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 3: Sorry, Maroons, It's just.
- 31:22Speaker 1: A lot d you want talent on the field, A lot, a.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Lot, all right?
- 31:27Speaker 4: Next up, number three game of the week, Massive, massive,
- 31:30Speaker 4: massive gs He South rivalry game. Here we've got Francis
- 31:33Speaker 4: Howell at Zimo West. Wow m West favored by two
- 31:37Speaker 4: and a half points here he over runs at forty.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Four and a half.
- 31:40Speaker 2: This is this is a really interesting game here. West
- 31:44Speaker 2: has really struggled offensively this season so far.
- 31:48Speaker 3: And of course I don't know if how Central has
- 31:51Speaker 3: has hacked S two High School Sports, but it's s
- 31:55Speaker 3: High School Sports claims that France South Central defeated.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Zimo West nine to zero, which is not true. I
- 32:00Speaker 4: believe the final score was thirty six to nine.
- 32:02Speaker 3: Of that game.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it was.
- 32:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if the website's bugging out at all,
- 32:08Speaker 4: but they've hacked him seriously.
- 32:12Speaker 3: That's really odd.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, it's the website. I don't know if it's
- 32:17Speaker 1: the team's.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Or just the website itself, but there just seems to
- 32:20Speaker 2: be less care for stats these days. Its final scores
- 32:23Speaker 2: that I've ever seen on this on this website.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate.
- 32:28Speaker 4: I mean this can Zmall West contained Jalen Boward, that's
- 32:33Speaker 4: the question. Jalen Boward's pretty much been Howell's entire offense
- 32:37Speaker 4: this year. I mean, I wouldn't say Derek Trump is
- 32:41Speaker 4: a bad QB, but Howell has just never really put
- 32:47Speaker 4: him in a spot to where they need him to
- 32:48Speaker 4: perform well, because if you think about it, I mean
- 32:50Speaker 4: against Eureka, Ballard was really good, but How's defense just
- 32:55Speaker 4: couldn't quite figured out in the second half.
- 33:00Speaker 3: And then against Cardinal Ritter, the whole offense couldn't really
- 33:02Speaker 3: do anything.
- 33:03Speaker 4: So this is gonna be interesting if more West can
- 33:07Speaker 4: just limit the big players from Ballard. I like them here,
- 33:10Speaker 4: but it's more West offense also has been inconsistent points, so.
- 33:15Speaker 3: This is gonna be a This is gonna be a
- 33:17Speaker 3: nice game.
- 33:18Speaker 2: I mean, I I hope we have a camera for
- 33:20Speaker 2: this game.
- 33:21Speaker 3: I really hope we do too. I'm gonna go this
- 33:27Speaker 3: is This is so tough.
- 33:28Speaker 2: This is so tough to be fair, by the way
- 33:30Speaker 2: they have hal has not put their stats and then
- 33:32Speaker 2: gets there for how North. Okay, yes, so I think
- 33:36Speaker 2: I would imagine shopping Ballard and the receivers have more
- 33:39Speaker 2: yards now, Okay, yeah.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Well.
- 33:43Speaker 4: I think, man, this is close. I'm just gonna well,
- 33:46Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with West to cover and I'm gonna
- 33:48Speaker 4: go with the under.
- 33:48Speaker 1: This is so I'm gonna I'm gonna go with how
- 33:50Speaker 1: to cover. I think they're gonna go on the road
- 33:52Speaker 1: and win.
- 33:53Speaker 3: That's a fair choice, and I'll take the under. This
- 33:55Speaker 3: is so close, man, I this is I just.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I don't know what what's is doing offensively With what
- 34:01Speaker 2: they're they're doing, they've really.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Struggled to run the football. Mm hm, that's kind of
- 34:04Speaker 1: what it's been at.
- 34:05Speaker 2: But I'm also perplexed as like why they're having a
- 34:07Speaker 2: hard time throwing the ball.
- 34:09Speaker 1: But maybe they figured some stuff out against hel Central.
- 34:12Speaker 3: The stats aren't in for the hell of Central game.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, I mean their their defense. I'm not
- 34:18Speaker 2: I'm not really worried about what's defense, to be honest,
- 34:21Speaker 2: because their defense has been pretty solid so far. But yeah,
- 34:26Speaker 2: it's uh, it's been a struggle offensively for them. And
- 34:31Speaker 2: I'm just gonna lay with I mean, Francis Hell, they
- 34:34Speaker 2: have a good defense and they.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Can run the football. I'm just kind of going on
- 34:36Speaker 1: going with that, all right.
- 34:39Speaker 4: Next up, number two game of the week, Lift for
- 34:42Speaker 4: Life at Slew High. Slew High thor about eight and
- 34:44Speaker 4: a half points two over Warms at forty one and
- 34:46Speaker 4: a half. Very intriguing out of conference matchup here. Slew
- 34:50Speaker 4: High sitting pretty at four and zero, coming off a
- 34:53Speaker 4: big forty nine zero win against Luther and Saint Charles,
- 34:56Speaker 4: and Lift for Life of three and one. That one
- 34:58Speaker 4: loss was against Baylor High schoo which from Tennessee.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Number one ranked team in Tennessee, and they only lost
- 35:03Speaker 1: to him by twelve points. They were losing by thirty
- 35:06Speaker 1: four at one point in the second half. So yes,
- 35:08Speaker 1: it's they played hard. I mean they moved the ball.
- 35:11Speaker 3: I lift bet twenty two points in the fourth quarterback game.
- 35:13Speaker 1: To they moved the ball on them I'll give them that,
- 35:16Speaker 1: but like it's not.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Like, oh, I'm like, oh my god, Like they put
- 35:21Speaker 2: up like thirty legit points, you know, and so I
- 35:24Speaker 2: just they're kind of some people are trying to take
- 35:26Speaker 2: I think, a lot more out of it than what
- 35:27Speaker 2: it really was.
- 35:28Speaker 3: Phoenix Isaiah has been really good. Yeah, he's been one
- 35:31Speaker 3: of the better qbs in the area so far.
- 35:33Speaker 1: He has.
- 35:33Speaker 2: And honestly, like you can't really fault them for that game,
- 35:36Speaker 2: to be honest. Yeah, And they and they play hard.
- 35:39Speaker 2: They played hard, you know till the end. So I
- 35:42Speaker 2: had an interesting game against SMMIT Christian last week. I
- 35:44Speaker 2: thought that was a little closer than what I thought.
- 35:46Speaker 2: But they still won. And they're three and one. They're
- 35:48Speaker 2: they're they're doing They're looking good. Slew's looking very good, though.
- 35:54Speaker 3: I talked about it last week. I like Slugh.
- 35:56Speaker 4: I like slu Highs lines of scrimmage a lot. I mean,
- 35:59Speaker 4: they're very improved from last year. And I mean they've
- 36:03Speaker 4: allowed Jordan Taylor a lot of room to work with
- 36:06Speaker 4: ruing the ball, and I.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Think him and Keenan Harris on both sides of the
- 36:11Speaker 1: ball hard to beat.
- 36:13Speaker 4: I think Sleu High is just They're just a little
- 36:16Speaker 4: too talented for Lift for Life to handle. So I'm
- 36:18Speaker 4: gonna I mean, it's gonna be a competitive game, you know.
- 36:20Speaker 4: I think Lift Life is a very good team.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Both teams have a lot of talent with athletes, but
- 36:24Speaker 2: I think Slew's got the edge up front in the trenches.
- 36:27Speaker 4: That's where it comes from, is I think Sleu's offensive
- 36:29Speaker 4: line is going to be a little too much for
- 36:30Speaker 4: Lift for Lives front seven. So I'm gonna go with
- 36:32Speaker 4: SLEW high to cover here, and I'm going I'm gonna
- 36:34Speaker 4: go with the over.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Yeah that's a low. That's a low.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Uh spread there By the way, I just got a
- 36:43Speaker 2: confirmation that we will have a camera for Hazel at
- 36:45Speaker 2: East at Parkway North.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Nice.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Yes, it should be a one for Thursday night football.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes. And Lift for Life.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Yes, I do have sleut covering and I will take
- 36:54Speaker 2: the over as well. I think Lift for Life they're
- 36:56Speaker 2: gonna put up some points. I mean, they they have
- 36:58Speaker 2: proven to have a pretty solid offense thus far, and
- 37:00Speaker 2: I think they can give some problems there. But ultimately,
- 37:03Speaker 2: I think SLEW can control the run game and then
- 37:06Speaker 2: they certainly have a capable quarterback and Kyroen lb and
- 37:11Speaker 2: receivers and Zach Allen Tyler uh uh Kasemski because miss
- 37:17Speaker 2: let me see that again, I was going off of yeah,
- 37:21Speaker 2: Cosminski and then Will Shulty is another quality receiver for
- 37:25Speaker 2: them too, so and also Keenan Harris as well.
- 37:28Speaker 1: If he feels like it, he can make some plays.
- 37:31Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll go I'll go sleugh there all right.
- 37:35Speaker 4: Last, definitely not least number one game of the week
- 37:39Speaker 4: Kirkwood at Eureka. Eureka faired by six and a half
- 37:42Speaker 4: points here the oversho oh boy.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Interesting.
- 37:46Speaker 3: These two teams gave us quite a game last.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Year, last three years.
- 37:51Speaker 4: Really Yeah, last year's Eureka snuck away with this one.
- 37:57Speaker 4: The final score was fourteen to ten, and that you know,
- 38:02Speaker 4: Eureka comes into this one four to zho. They dominated Fox.
- 38:05Speaker 4: I honestly thought, I mean this, this is a very
- 38:07Speaker 4: improved Fox team in for Rika to just physically dominate
- 38:10Speaker 4: them the way they did, I thought was very impressive.
- 38:12Speaker 4: I mean they were up, they were up thirty eight
- 38:14Speaker 4: zero at halftime. Yeah, this was a dominating win.
- 38:18Speaker 3: And Drika.
- 38:22Speaker 4: They're not shying away from rushing the ball, but they're
- 38:24Speaker 4: not nearly as good at running it as they have
- 38:26Speaker 4: been in previous years.
- 38:26Speaker 3: But Patrick cuff Craft, Hutchcraft is he's been really good.
- 38:29Speaker 1: He's been really good.
- 38:30Speaker 2: He has been two hundred thirteen yards last week passing
- 38:33Speaker 2: the ball twelve or sixteen.
- 38:36Speaker 1: They got some good Gary Anders is a good one.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Leui Fez a fezer than Craig Ringy, who's a really
- 38:41Speaker 2: good tight end for them.
- 38:43Speaker 1: He had a great game too, over one hundred receiving
- 38:45Speaker 1: yards in that one.
- 38:48Speaker 2: And uh yeah, Ririka's defense is kept on bawling out
- 38:52Speaker 2: for them this this this year. Hutchcraft by the way,
- 38:56Speaker 2: forty seven to forty on the season, forty seven seventy
- 38:58Speaker 2: on the season, but eight hundred and seventy eight passing.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Wow.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:04Speaker 3: And for Kirkwood Cooper Owens has been amazing for him.
- 39:07Speaker 4: He's that over a thousand passing yards so far so far,
- 39:10Speaker 4: nine touchdowns, only one interception.
- 39:12Speaker 3: JKB Berhart the usual suspect.
- 39:14Speaker 4: He leads the team in receiving yards, averaging over twenty
- 39:16Speaker 4: yards perception. I think this is going to come down
- 39:19Speaker 4: to which offensive line can give their QB a good
- 39:23Speaker 4: pocket the whole game, because I mean I saw it
- 39:26Speaker 4: a lot, especially in some of the college games yesterday.
- 39:30Speaker 4: It's not even about just getting the sack. It's about
- 39:34Speaker 4: just pressuring the QB and getting him off his rhythm
- 39:37Speaker 4: and against I mean, the one time I was able
- 39:40Speaker 4: to watch Trickoo this year back in King agains zum
- 39:42Speaker 4: out West Cooper owens is. He can make throws when
- 39:46Speaker 4: he rolls out, but their offense can't consistently get drive
- 39:50Speaker 4: together when he's forced to go out of the pocket
- 39:52Speaker 4: and make throws on the run. And almost no high
- 39:54Speaker 4: school qbs are able to do that because that's a
- 39:56Speaker 4: very hard thing to do. So if Yurika can get
- 39:59Speaker 4: a good pass rush and forced Kirkwood's offense to be inconsistent,
- 40:03Speaker 4: than I like them to cover here. But the same
- 40:05Speaker 4: thing applies to Kirkwood. And Kirkwood also has a pretty
- 40:07Speaker 4: good front seven. So who can keep the best pocket
- 40:11Speaker 4: the whole game? I think has the edge here and
- 40:14Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Kirkwood. I'm gonna go with Kirkwood
- 40:16Speaker 4: to cover and win him here, and I'm gonna.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Go with.
- 40:20Speaker 3: I'll go with the under.
- 40:22Speaker 2: I think I've picked Eureka to win this game. The
- 40:24Speaker 2: last three years, you've been correct. I wasn't correct in
- 40:28Speaker 2: twenty twenty three they lost, That's right.
- 40:32Speaker 1: One. I'm gonna go with Kirkwood this time.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I think they're Kirkwood's always more they have
- 40:38Speaker 2: more skill than Eureka.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Let's be real.
- 40:42Speaker 3: But he's not going to hear that.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Well, they're okay.
- 40:45Speaker 2: I think they'll monitor, like they'll admit that, you know,
- 40:48Speaker 2: but they're you know, they got Kirkwood's got better athletes
- 40:51Speaker 2: and Eureka they they try to beat teams in trenches.
- 40:53Speaker 2: And but I think Kirkle's got a really good defense.
- 40:55Speaker 2: And the fact is that Eureka has struggled to have
- 40:59Speaker 2: a a solid, a really good run running attack so far.
- 41:04Speaker 2: And I think Kirkwood's defense is gonna make life harder
- 41:07Speaker 2: for them. For Eureka have passed the ball more than
- 41:10Speaker 2: usual in this game.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I mean, if Urika can win this game, I mean,
- 41:13Speaker 1: that's gonna be absolutely huge for their season. I mean,
- 41:15Speaker 1: and really this is this is kind of.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Eureka's still got to play Lafayette, but if they can
- 41:22Speaker 2: beat Kirkwood, that puts him in a great position to
- 41:24Speaker 2: I mean that would almost, like not totally guarantee, but
- 41:27Speaker 2: it would put him in a great spot to, you know,
- 41:29Speaker 2: get a share of the Suburban Yellow Championship, which is
- 41:32Speaker 2: really hard to win.
- 41:33Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward for a great game.
- 41:36Speaker 2: There's not many better atmospheres in Saint Louis than Eureka
- 41:40Speaker 2: High School on a Friday night, and that's where I'm
- 41:43Speaker 2: gonna be. So I'm really looking forward to this game.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Haven't been to Eureka game at their place in two years,
- 41:49Speaker 2: so I'm looking forward to be back there. But I'm
- 41:53Speaker 2: going with the Pioneers to cover in this one and win,
- 41:56Speaker 2: and I will take that. I'll take that under I'll
- 42:04Speaker 2: take the under right. Yes, yeah, I think both defenses
- 42:06Speaker 2: are really good. I think it'll be not exactly like
- 42:11Speaker 2: Zuomalt West versus Kirkwood type of game, but it'll be.
- 42:15Speaker 3: No there's no way will know thirteen points scored in
- 42:17Speaker 3: this the last two years.
- 42:18Speaker 2: The last two years have been pretty low scoring with
- 42:20Speaker 2: these games. I just thought it's ten both ways. Actually correct,
- 42:25Speaker 2: that's crazy, but I still think it'll be I think
- 42:28Speaker 2: there might be a little more scoring than that, but
- 42:30Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be a shootout by
- 42:32Speaker 2: any means. I mean Eureka. Both these teams know each
- 42:34Speaker 2: other really well. So like I, I don't think Kirkwood
- 42:38Speaker 2: can play like a cover zero offense because Eureka is
- 42:41Speaker 2: gonna pass more.
- 42:44Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I think.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Maybe they can.
- 42:47Speaker 4: If kirk Would could sit in cover zero all game,
- 42:51Speaker 4: that would be trouble for Eureka. But if Eureka can
- 42:55Speaker 4: but you can can pass, Eureka can get enough deep
- 42:57Speaker 4: shots then and force kirk Would to sit and maybe
- 43:00Speaker 4: play two high safeties and get kirk and cover four
- 43:05Speaker 4: on third and longs, maybe they can take advantage there.
- 43:07Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll see.
- 43:08Speaker 2: And then as far as what I can tell, unless
- 43:10Speaker 2: Eurk hasn't changed anything, they're gonna just you know, have
- 43:12Speaker 2: that three man front with three linebackers and then like
- 43:16Speaker 2: five five guys in their secondary, and that worked. That's
- 43:19Speaker 2: actually worked really really well for them these last few
- 43:22Speaker 2: seasons against against Kirkwood. So I'm it's just a lot.
- 43:25Speaker 2: It's just a really fun chess match when these two
- 43:27Speaker 2: teams play each other. That's why I think it's gonna
- 43:30Speaker 2: be a great game. But we're both picking Kirkwood and
- 43:32Speaker 2: the under in this game, and that's what we got.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Well, Hopefully we have more close games this week.
- 43:38Speaker 4: With a lot of blowouts last week a lot, hopefully
- 43:41Speaker 4: get some more excitement this week, but we'll see.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Absolutely. So I I'm going to be filming.
- 43:48Speaker 2: I'm gonna be at Eureka Kirkwood, and then I'm gonna
- 43:51Speaker 2: on Thursday, We're gonna have a camera at Parkman North,
- 43:54Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna be following Lado on Wednesday night
- 43:56Speaker 2: as well hazel To West and they play them there.
- 43:58Speaker 2: So that's where I can confirm our camera cameras will be.
- 44:02Speaker 2: That's where I'm confirming I'm going to be basically, so.
- 44:06Speaker 4: I unfortunately will not be there. I will be in Columbia, Missouri.
- 44:08Speaker 4: It's their homecoming weekend. I did not go to Missoo,
- 44:10Speaker 4: but my brother is currently a senior there, so I
- 44:12Speaker 4: will be.
- 44:13Speaker 1: You're gonna be Missoo all week weekend.
- 44:14Speaker 3: All weekend. Yeah, I'll be leaving.
- 44:18Speaker 4: After practice on Friday afternoon, probably get to Columbia around.
- 44:23Speaker 1: You gonna be a park North.
- 44:26Speaker 3: We have practice Thursday after school. I don't know.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Ah, okay, okay, it's tough.
- 44:29Speaker 4: I mean, with my sleep schedule, it's tough for me
- 44:33Speaker 4: to do things on Thursday nights usually to wake upretty
- 44:36Speaker 4: early on Friday.
- 44:37Speaker 1: So all right, yeah, we'll see.
- 44:39Speaker 3: I don't know, hopefully I can. I don't know, we'll see.
- 44:40Speaker 2: All right, Okay, it sounds good, sounds like a plan. Uh,
- 44:43Speaker 2: looking forward for the week five coming up. It's been
- 44:46Speaker 2: a fun season so far and hopefully it can get better.
- 44:49Speaker 2: See you guys, Peace,
