Transcript
- 0:15Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Podcast.
- 0:17Speaker 2: It is Week two of the football season here in
- 0:19Speaker 2: Missouri and Illinois.
- 0:21Speaker 1: For those games we'll be talking about.
- 0:23Speaker 2: I'm John Huff joined by Roman Bishop, and we are
- 0:26Speaker 2: going to be here to talk about the upcoming Week
- 0:29Speaker 2: two games on the Gillis Sandler Von Sportsbook GSV Sportsbook.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Yeah. So the it is kind of lucky that the
- 0:39Speaker 3: sports book writers change their name to where it kind
- 0:41Speaker 3: of just coincides with the letters GSV. Well, we appreciate
- 0:45Speaker 3: them for that. We appreciate them for sending us lines
- 0:47Speaker 3: for week two as well. So we're gonna go three
- 0:49Speaker 3: of those too, y'all. So first up, we got a
- 0:51Speaker 3: few big metro weased games. We got Columbia at Waterloo
- 0:54Speaker 3: Waterloo ifayby thirteen and a half, rivalry half. It is
- 0:59Speaker 3: Waterloo's coming off the big winning it's Mount Vernon three
- 1:01Speaker 3: four seventeen, and then Columbia also coming off a nice
- 1:04Speaker 3: win twenty three, twenty two and a three Modern Day
- 1:06Speaker 3: last week.
- 1:09Speaker 2: I think it's Monroe County. I think this is yes,
- 1:13Speaker 2: this is the big this is the two big schools
- 1:15Speaker 2: in Monroe County. So yeah, this is great, you know Waterloo.
- 1:20Speaker 2: We didn't talk about them in our last podcast, but
- 1:22Speaker 2: they they struggled a little bit initially out of the gate,
- 1:25Speaker 2: but they were able to write the storm and actually
- 1:28Speaker 2: come out with a pretty good win over I forget
- 1:32Speaker 2: what team they played.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Do you have their schedule? Mount Vernon? Yeah, and the
- 1:37Speaker 1: has been a good team too.
- 1:38Speaker 3: The Red Sales had a great game. He had twenty
- 1:39Speaker 3: carries for one hundred and six seven yards and three touchdowns.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I mean, if they can just keep Sales going.
- 1:43Speaker 2: They lost the Mount vern I think last year too,
- 1:46Speaker 2: or did they I think maybe maybe I'm talking.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I'm thinking two years ago.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Two years ago bybe Mount Verna last year also, But Waterloo,
- 1:52Speaker 3: I mean, you're looking pretty good. If they could just
- 1:54Speaker 3: keep Sales going, I trust them to win this game.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Waterloo to cover here, and I'm
- 1:59Speaker 3: gonna go with the Yeah.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Columbia did a somewhat decent job of moving the football
- 2:03Speaker 2: and their defense was all right against modern day. But
- 2:06Speaker 2: I think Waterloo's kind of a different animal right there.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with you. I
- 2:12Speaker 2: will well, I will, I'll take the under. I'll take
- 2:16Speaker 2: the under. I think Waterloo's defense, Staffen's up and uh
- 2:20Speaker 2: but I think they'll cover. But just the the not
- 2:22Speaker 2: the over is gonna hit unless they absolutely go wild
- 2:24Speaker 2: on Columbia.
- 2:26Speaker 3: All right, staying in the six one eight, we got
- 2:27Speaker 3: Highland dad all tof all TAF by six and a half.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Here the overs at fifty nine and a half.
- 2:32Speaker 2: This is a bigger game than what you know because
- 2:36Speaker 2: Highland had a great victory over a Jackson team who
- 2:39Speaker 2: we'll see about them, but they the Jackson team they
- 2:42Speaker 2: beat on the road Jacksonville. Sorry, I was in Jackson's Friday,
- 2:47Speaker 2: so I got Jackson on the mind. I mean, that
- 2:50Speaker 2: was a really dominating victory for Highland, So I don't know.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I mean, I'm kind of tempted to have them cover here.
- 2:57Speaker 2: And then all TOF did not look good against Alton
- 3:00Speaker 2: for thirteen.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I mean it was always fourteen seven and a half
- 3:04Speaker 3: time though, and it kind of looks like all to off.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It was twenty one thirteen going in the fourth quarter.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Yeah, all to Off, I mean, definitely not a bad
- 3:13Speaker 3: team by any means when they got a good rushing
- 3:15Speaker 3: attack with Stephen Brown and Jane Ellington. But they're a
- 3:17Speaker 3: far acraff what they were last year, which again isn't
- 3:20Speaker 3: a knock on them when you don't have zero Hill junior.
- 3:23Speaker 2: And he got game time against ed Oregon as a
- 3:25Speaker 2: true freshman, which is crazy. So like he was literally
- 3:29Speaker 2: playing for all tof and now, like, you know, less
- 3:31Speaker 2: than twenty twelve months later, he's playing for one of
- 3:34Speaker 2: the best you know, like not just playing, but he's
- 3:37Speaker 2: in the game and helping them positively contribute for Allah.
- 3:41Speaker 2: So they also lost a lot of linemen as well,
- 3:44Speaker 2: all tough.
- 3:45Speaker 3: So you know, I think Highland comes out with the
- 3:47Speaker 3: win here. Actually I'm gonna go with Highland to cover here.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the under. I will take I agree,
- 3:54Speaker 3: but I'll take the over.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, shocker. I didn't think I'd picked.
- 4:00Speaker 2: The big Island and win and we could be totally
- 4:02Speaker 2: wrong here, but no, I mean, Highland's got a great system.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Coach Warnikey is one of the better coaches in the area.
- 4:09Speaker 2: And I think it'll be a great game either way.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I mean either team could win it, clearly, but that
- 4:14Speaker 2: game is is gonna be in Belleville at all top
- 4:18Speaker 2: Catholic high school. It's got a nice little stadium there,
- 4:21Speaker 2: so it should be a pretty good environment.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Next up heading over to the Rockwood.
- 4:26Speaker 1: School is the Rockies the Rocky Mountains.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Yeah, Rocky Mountains in West County.
- 4:30Speaker 1: They have some big hills there and at least in Eureka.
- 4:34Speaker 3: We got Eureka at Marquette. Eureka is favored by thirteen
- 4:37Speaker 3: and a half points hereview over owners at thirty nine
- 4:39Speaker 3: and a half.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Eureka.
- 4:41Speaker 3: We talked about their last game last episode and a
- 4:43Speaker 3: great comeback win against Francis Howl. Their offense really came
- 4:47Speaker 3: through and their defense, especially other than a couple of
- 4:50Speaker 3: big runs they allowed by to Howell's rushing attack, the
- 4:55Speaker 3: defense really clamped down for Eureka and Marquette. They got
- 5:00Speaker 3: handled by Heckman last week, and you know, that's definitely
- 5:04Speaker 3: an improved Hickman team.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I know they got Justin Kanyers as their head coach,
- 5:08Speaker 2: and he's already in two years made clearly making a
- 5:11Speaker 2: great difference forty eight forty eight to fourteen.
- 5:14Speaker 1: But yeah, that's i.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Marquette doesn't typically allow that many points unless they're playing
- 5:19Speaker 2: CBC in the playoffs.
- 5:20Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just think Eureka is gonna be able
- 5:24Speaker 3: to control this game. Really. I mean there's we know that.
- 5:28Speaker 2: They got two pretty good running back I mean, Trevor
- 5:30Speaker 2: Kodak was already established running back, and then they got
- 5:32Speaker 2: Brandon Webb, who he had a that was a coming
- 5:36Speaker 2: out party for him against Howl last week.
- 5:38Speaker 1: So they got two really capable running backs.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Patrick Custercraft was able to you know,
- 5:44Speaker 2: have a decent game passing the ball too.
- 5:46Speaker 1: So yeah, I like this Eureka team.
- 5:48Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm taking I'll have them cover and I'll
- 5:53Speaker 2: take the over as well.
- 5:54Speaker 3: I guess we agree on that. Next up, stick him
- 5:57Speaker 3: with one of the rock With teams. We got Lindberg
- 6:00Speaker 3: Rockwood Summit Rockwood Summit favor by fourteen and a half.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Here the over runners at forty one and a half.
- 6:05Speaker 3: This this is interesting. We've got something coming off a
- 6:09Speaker 3: pretty a pretty good win against Moullen and then Lindbergh
- 6:12Speaker 3: coming off one of their weaker Week one games we've
- 6:15Speaker 3: seen in recent memory. And man, if the Lindberg rushing
- 6:21Speaker 3: attack just stalls out like it did last week against Oakville,
- 6:25Speaker 3: I don't see them having a nice time against Summit.
- 6:27Speaker 3: I mean some it's defense has been pretty good the
- 6:31Speaker 3: past month, and they they're just as physical upfront as
- 6:35Speaker 3: I mean, maybe I don't know actually who's more physical upfront,
- 6:38Speaker 3: Summit or Oakville, because Oakville has brought a lot more
- 6:42Speaker 3: physicality this year than previous years. But I still think
- 6:45Speaker 3: some it's pretty pretty stout with the defensive line. So
- 6:48Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with something to cover here, and I'm
- 6:50Speaker 3: gonna go with the open you know something.
- 6:51Speaker 1: They gave up twenty four points to a good Mollen team.
- 6:54Speaker 2: You know, they're fast and physical and they were able
- 6:56Speaker 2: to still still beat them there, and you know they
- 7:00Speaker 2: a lot of returning starters and defense. So yeah, I
- 7:05Speaker 2: I think I think Limber's gonna start out to and
- 7:07Speaker 2: O here and uh, Summit, I got them.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Limberg they lost last week. I said to you said,
- 7:14Speaker 3: oh sorry.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Yeah, so I and some start out to and oh
- 7:19Speaker 2: so yeah, I have them covering and I'll take the
- 7:22Speaker 2: over as well.
- 7:23Speaker 3: All right, looks like we agree again.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:26Speaker 2: The thing about Limberg last week, honestly the most surprised.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I wasn't really surprised they scored fourteen points because I
- 7:33Speaker 2: had some reservations about their offense, but I was surprised
- 7:35Speaker 2: their defense gave up thirty four points because I was
- 7:39Speaker 2: I was kind of highly rating their defense all all summer.
- 7:43Speaker 2: But I think like their front seven is pretty good,
- 7:46Speaker 2: but their secondary is uh is something else there. So yeah,
- 7:52Speaker 2: and if some can take advantage of that, then they
- 7:54Speaker 2: should have a pretty good game, all right.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Next up, heading over to the West versus West rivalry.
- 8:01Speaker 3: We got for Zamal West at Belvill West or the
- 8:04Speaker 3: Zama West Jaguars or a favorite bout seven and a half.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Here the over runners got forty three and a half.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Jamal West has won five in a row in this rivalry,
- 8:11Speaker 3: but be the West rivalry has taken a step for
- 8:14Speaker 3: you know, we're not gonna go over the West versus
- 8:16Speaker 3: West bowl here?
- 8:16Speaker 1: No, how is it? Or who said it? Like it's
- 8:20Speaker 1: not a rubber because they kicked her ass every you know, yeah.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Freaking loser.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Okay, he's a grifter.
- 8:27Speaker 3: He's a totally he's a total drifter.
- 8:28Speaker 1: He's terrible.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I don't follow the NBA enough to know that, but okay,
- 8:32Speaker 2: he's terrible.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Anyways, Belbo West was pretty impressive last week against Moscuita.
- 8:39Speaker 3: They had I think it was what fourner fifty rushing
- 8:42Speaker 3: yards yep, and they averaged over ten yards of carry.
- 8:45Speaker 3: I mean the Mosquito defense, you know, maybe isn't the
- 8:48Speaker 3: best in the area, but still, I mean that getting
- 8:50Speaker 3: that many rushing yards and because any team is impressive,
- 8:54Speaker 3: so well, I'm gonna love to see how that rushing
- 8:58Speaker 3: attack is going to go up against the West defense
- 9:01Speaker 3: that had an amazing against Kirkwood. So that's gonna be
- 9:04Speaker 3: the matchup to see. Is Cana a more West front
- 9:06Speaker 3: seven swarm of the ball and stop this Bubble West
- 9:09Speaker 3: rushing attack. I think they can. I think it's more
- 9:13Speaker 3: West wins, but not by more than seven points. So
- 9:16Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Bubble West to cover here. I
- 9:20Speaker 3: bet the Jaggers you don't probably win by three or so.
- 9:23Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Bubble West to cover, and
- 9:25Speaker 3: then I'll go.
- 9:26Speaker 2: With the under I'll have Zoomo West covering their defense.
- 9:30Speaker 2: I think their offense will come around. I mean, Clayton
- 9:32Speaker 2: O'Brien's a three year starting quarterback and they got some
- 9:34Speaker 2: good weapons over there. Yeah, and their defense is highly
- 9:40Speaker 2: encouraging after what they did against Kirkwood. So I had
- 9:42Speaker 2: them covering forty three and a half. This is tough,
- 9:48Speaker 2: but I'll still take the under.
- 9:52Speaker 3: All right. Next up, number ten Game of the week.
- 9:56Speaker 3: This matchup has given us some pretty exciting ones in
- 9:58Speaker 3: previous years. Hopefully it lives up again. We got La
- 10:00Speaker 3: dou At written or. Writtener is favored by three and
- 10:02Speaker 3: a half points the overgners at fifty one and a half.
- 10:05Speaker 3: We talked a little bit ABOUTLADO last episode in there
- 10:09Speaker 3: unfortunate Week one game with Troy Rittner coming off a
- 10:13Speaker 3: huge fe nine of zero winning its review gardens, I
- 10:15Speaker 3: mean kind of expected, honestly, but but yeah, they took
- 10:19Speaker 3: care of business, which was good to see for them.
- 10:21Speaker 3: But Ladue's gotta respond here, Yeah, they have to. They gotta.
- 10:26Speaker 3: They gotta first one, get an offense going, and just
- 10:31Speaker 3: I mean Writtener's blocking scheme definitely, I mean there, their
- 10:35Speaker 3: guards definite aren't gonna be as fast as Troy's because
- 10:37Speaker 3: Troy's got some really good athletes on their offensive line.
- 10:40Speaker 3: So it's a better matchup for LADU for sure.
- 10:43Speaker 1: And they don't have to worry about like LDO.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Rittner does not have a Hunter Humphrey at quarterback who
- 10:48Speaker 2: can break you with his legs.
- 10:49Speaker 3: So I just was a little concerned. So I know
- 10:53Speaker 3: Ladu had some injuries this past week, or does.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Some injury, an injury and some suspensions, but the suspended
- 10:59Speaker 2: kids are all back.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, if Ladue's at full strength, then I might
- 11:04Speaker 3: give them the edge here. I guess I'll pick La
- 11:06Speaker 3: Dude to cover here and I'll go with nover.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Interesting.
- 11:08Speaker 2: I'm I'll pick them the cover two, but I'm definitely
- 11:12Speaker 2: taking the under. I'm just I think this is going
- 11:15Speaker 2: to be a defensive battle.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing, Like the last two years,
- 11:23Speaker 2: I mean, the dude did a really good job for
- 11:25Speaker 2: the most part against Ritner defensively last year. Then two
- 11:28Speaker 2: years ago for most of the first half when they
- 11:30Speaker 2: played Rittner, they did a really good job against their
- 11:34Speaker 2: their their run game too. So I think if you
- 11:36Speaker 2: can just stay healthy, and I'm confident they're gonna put
- 11:38Speaker 2: together a pretty good game plan. They're pretty well coached
- 11:40Speaker 2: defensively with you know, they got some studs with Mason Martin,
- 11:44Speaker 2: Brendan Huddleston, and they had a you know.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Did their credit.
- 11:47Speaker 2: They had a lot of guys you know, step up
- 11:48Speaker 2: and play for the first time last week, and I
- 11:51Speaker 2: thought you know, for their most of the part, they
- 11:53Speaker 2: did a good job for just you know, some of
- 11:54Speaker 2: the expectations they had. So and Writtner they got a
- 11:57Speaker 2: you know, they Amari Mooman and then Jarman Kirk Junior,
- 12:00Speaker 2: who are two defensive ends and they're they're pretty good.
- 12:03Speaker 2: They're probably gonna both. I mean, Movement's committed to the
- 12:05Speaker 2: Linwood and you know, Kirksey's probably gonna go play in
- 12:08Speaker 2: college somewhere when it's all said and done, and they're
- 12:10Speaker 2: just toy.
- 12:11Speaker 1: They got speed.
- 12:13Speaker 2: So I think it's just gonna come down to which
- 12:15Speaker 2: of their offenses can step up. And I think it's
- 12:17Speaker 2: a game whoever's first gets the first of twenty wins.
- 12:20Speaker 2: So I will go with DO because I think they
- 12:24Speaker 2: have a better passing attack than Writtener. And I mean,
- 12:27Speaker 2: you know, if if DO can stop Rittner's rushing attack,
- 12:30Speaker 2: which I think they can, then they might they very
- 12:32Speaker 2: well may do.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Then I think Writtner is pretty limited outside of that.
- 12:36Speaker 2: And then you know, Ludus just got to get something
- 12:39Speaker 2: out of their run game, and if they can, then
- 12:41Speaker 2: that's going to open up their passing attack. And I
- 12:43Speaker 2: just think that's where they have a little bit of
- 12:45Speaker 2: an edge, but it'll be a close game. But uh,
- 12:49Speaker 2: this is a super vital game for just you know,
- 12:53Speaker 2: both teams. But I just know from I know obviously
- 12:55Speaker 2: I know more about Leadou, but like, if they can,
- 12:57Speaker 2: if LIDU can beat Writtener, then they got a pretty
- 12:59Speaker 2: good shot against Limburg and then this is just this
- 13:03Speaker 2: is where their season really starts right here in my opinion,
- 13:06Speaker 2: if if if they can, I mean, here's the thing
- 13:08Speaker 2: is like nor week one, well, I mean I think
- 13:11Speaker 2: if you lose like that, then it's it's it's better
- 13:14Speaker 2: to just kind of move forward with that, and you know,
- 13:15Speaker 2: don't you know, dwell on it, because if if we
- 13:17Speaker 2: do wins this game and you know, you get certain
- 13:20Speaker 2: results us, well they're they're like they're they're gonna be
- 13:22Speaker 2: second place in their district all of a sudden, and
- 13:24Speaker 2: then they can control their own destiny after if they
- 13:27Speaker 2: can just be you know, written and beat them by
- 13:29Speaker 2: more than thirteen points, going with the deep dive into
- 13:33Speaker 2: the district stuff right there. So yeah, well I guess
- 13:36Speaker 2: we're both going with the rams. So yeah, I'm I'm
- 13:39Speaker 2: going to have the face of music if if if
- 13:41Speaker 2: we do loses this game.
- 13:42Speaker 1: I know that because it's it's it's.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Coming, it's coming off as yeah, I know, right, next
- 13:49Speaker 2: time I accept, I accept the terms.
- 13:51Speaker 3: Onto our Gateways one of our two Gateway Scholars Classics games,
- 13:55Speaker 3: we'll talk about Kahokia versus Lived for Life. That's gonna
- 13:58Speaker 3: be at eastint Lewis on Saturday. I believe it. It's
- 14:00Speaker 3: at four o'clock.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Maybe it's Yeah, it's the second to last game.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Yeah, of the I think it's only two, yes, only
- 14:05Speaker 3: two this year, so oh really, I believe so yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 3: which is too bad it used to be four. Yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 3: and at least at least you have a game with
- 14:15Speaker 3: two local teams and then and then the East Louis game. Yeah,
- 14:18Speaker 3: so yeah, so yeah, Cookie versus Lift for Life flypt
- 14:21Speaker 3: for Life's for about thirteen and a half year, who
- 14:23Speaker 3: overruns at forty one and a half Lift for Life
- 14:26Speaker 3: coming off that great win they had against ms CDs
- 14:28Speaker 3: and Cookia commanding Winnings Luther and Saint Charles and they
- 14:33Speaker 3: won thirty eight to seven. But Live for Life, man,
- 14:36Speaker 3: I just I love the talent Lift for Life has
- 14:39Speaker 3: we all know about.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I think they're a little bit more stable quarterback this year.
- 14:43Speaker 3: That's exactly right. I mean, Phoenix Isaiah has had he
- 14:45Speaker 3: had a great Week one, and we all know about
- 14:48Speaker 3: their athletes out there, but I think their offensive line
- 14:50Speaker 3: is pretty slept on.
- 14:52Speaker 1: It's better than last year.
- 14:53Speaker 3: They were able to actually give phoenixizically a clean pocket
- 14:55Speaker 3: last week, which is something he didn't get much last year. Yeah,
- 14:58Speaker 3: so that's that's pretty huge for the Hawks, I think.
- 15:02Speaker 3: And this is actually the first time these two teams
- 15:04Speaker 3: have ever played. This is an interesting matchup we get here,
- 15:07Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Lyft for Life to cover here,
- 15:08Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with the under.
- 15:13Speaker 2: I will have you know, I'll have Kohokia covering and
- 15:16Speaker 2: I'll take the over.
- 15:17Speaker 1: I think Lift for Life wins the game.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Though, mm hmm. Yeah, that's pretty big spread, all right.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Next step another Winsville arrival over. We got Liberty at Timberland.
- 15:26Speaker 3: Liberty fair by six and a half. Year the overruns
- 15:28Speaker 3: at fifty five and a half. Liberty had an offensive
- 15:31Speaker 3: masterclass against Francis Central, putting up for to nine points.
- 15:35Speaker 3: I think they got almost born in total yards of offense.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Timberland coming off a huge win against Holts, I see
- 15:42Speaker 3: the biggest thing here is can Timberland cut down the
- 15:44Speaker 3: turnovers because Timberland is not gonna be able to get
- 15:46Speaker 3: away with having three turns again and win this game.
- 15:48Speaker 3: That's just not gonna happen. Yeah, and we'll see if
- 15:53Speaker 3: Timberland's passing game can kind of get going. Because they
- 15:57Speaker 3: couldn't really throw the ball that was against Hole.
- 16:00Speaker 2: That's that's not a good sign because I really thought
- 16:02Speaker 2: they could improve on that area and there's still a
- 16:05Speaker 2: lot of time. Very first game, but uh, I thought
- 16:08Speaker 2: i'd see better results on that end, but uh, not
- 16:11Speaker 2: really many good good results there. So I just I
- 16:15Speaker 2: think Liberty is a more complete team, at least offensively.
- 16:18Speaker 2: They're more complete because that they can they can throw,
- 16:20Speaker 2: and they can run. One of the best running backs
- 16:23Speaker 2: in the area in Jalen Mack. And they just they
- 16:25Speaker 2: got them very underrated receiving corps. I'll tell you that
- 16:27Speaker 2: right now. They returned all their guys last year, play
- 16:31Speaker 2: a lot of snaps who are starting at receiver for them.
- 16:33Speaker 2: So yet in Sulvin Thornton, he's proving that he's already
- 16:39Speaker 2: a capable quarterback. I think that that was their big
- 16:42Speaker 2: concern having to replace you know, McMullen last year, who
- 16:47Speaker 2: was their quarterback for I think the last three years.
- 16:49Speaker 2: And yeah, he's he's already proven that he's up for
- 16:53Speaker 2: the job. So I'm gonna go with the Eagles, uh
- 16:58Speaker 2: to out to cover and I'll take the over all, right.
- 17:01Speaker 3: I guess we agree on that one. Next up, number
- 17:05Speaker 3: seven Game of the week, huge Jeff Co rivalry here
- 17:08Speaker 3: Fox School District GRIB where you've got secment at Fox
- 17:11Speaker 3: second served by nine and a half points. Here the
- 17:13Speaker 3: Overns at forty and a half secment coming off a
- 17:16Speaker 3: tough one point Week one loss to Parkway West and Fox.
- 17:21Speaker 3: I don't think we mentioned them on our No There's episode.
- 17:23Speaker 3: They came off of twenty seven to seven win against Melville.
- 17:26Speaker 3: They took care of business. This is going to be
- 17:28Speaker 3: very interesting, I mean seconment.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Obviously Fox's passing offense is obviously a cry from Parkway
- 17:39Speaker 3: West passing offense. So a very different dynamic here for
- 17:42Speaker 3: segment because.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I think that helps them a lot.
- 17:44Speaker 3: I mean, second was able to hold Parkway West to
- 17:46Speaker 3: twenty one rushing yards and one yard per carry last game.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Fox has a better run game than they did. Fox
- 17:52Speaker 1: than the Parkway West.
- 17:53Speaker 3: They do for sure, and you know, like for example,
- 17:55Speaker 3: in Week one, do they have the stats? And they do?
- 17:59Speaker 3: OKAYI had forty carries for three hundred and ten yards,
- 18:02Speaker 3: averaging over seven and a half yards per carry, and
- 18:04Speaker 3: they had exactly zero passing yards the entire game. Yeah,
- 18:08Speaker 3: Chandler Price was over four passing with winter.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Reception, but he was he did. He did have one
- 18:12Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five rushing yards.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Yes, so a very different dynamic here for Second to
- 18:18Speaker 3: go up against. But they've been pretty good at handling
- 18:20Speaker 3: the rivals the past several years, and I still think
- 18:23Speaker 3: Second is the better teams. I'm gonna go the debt
- 18:25Speaker 3: with the Jaguars covering, and I'm going to go with
- 18:27Speaker 3: the under.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Yeah I will, I'll take I'll do the same thing
- 18:36Speaker 2: right there. I think Secment wins by a few scores
- 18:40Speaker 2: and uh, and then I'll take the under right there,
- 18:44Speaker 2: although you know, I think it'll be a close game.
- 18:48Speaker 2: The last few games has not been really close. But uh,
- 18:52Speaker 2: you know, I think Fox is that they've a little
- 18:54Speaker 2: bit there. I think they've made a lot of improvements
- 18:56Speaker 2: defensively like last starting last year. And then I mean, well,
- 18:59Speaker 2: I guess we'll really see if they're you know, improved
- 19:02Speaker 2: on defense against Sekman.
- 19:03Speaker 1: This coming week is against Melville.
- 19:04Speaker 2: That's what they should be doing, you know, yeah, only
- 19:06Speaker 2: allowing seven points, but yeah, still got to go with
- 19:09Speaker 2: the Jaguars.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Next up in the massive rivalry game the Milk Bowl,
- 19:14Speaker 3: Modern Day after.
- 19:15Speaker 1: The least one ever for the time being, not ever,
- 19:17Speaker 1: but yeah, you're right.
- 19:18Speaker 3: For a couple of years, probably unfortunately, right, pre Central
- 19:21Speaker 3: favorite thirteen and a half here overruns at fifty five
- 19:24Speaker 3: and a half. Pre Central came off of a predominant
- 19:27Speaker 3: winn against Effingham, and then Modern Day coming off the
- 19:30Speaker 3: tough one point loss to Columbia. Pre Central has, I mean,
- 19:34Speaker 3: for the longest time this rivalry was totally in the
- 19:37Speaker 3: hands of Modern Day. I mean Modern Day since nineteen
- 19:40Speaker 3: and ninety nine, leads the series twenty one to six.
- 19:42Speaker 3: But pri Central has won the last two of them,
- 19:44Speaker 3: and they won last year pretty convincingly. But the pre
- 19:47Speaker 3: Central team last year was probably the best em in
- 19:49Speaker 3: school history, if I had to guess, yes, and then
- 19:53Speaker 3: you know, in a very average Modernday team. Yeah, pre Central,
- 19:57Speaker 3: I mean they're not bad this year, but I don't
- 19:59Speaker 3: think there has don as they were last year.
- 20:01Speaker 2: No, but their defense looked pretty good against Effingham, and
- 20:05Speaker 2: Effingham is a team they had I was able to
- 20:07Speaker 2: catch the highlights of that. And they they could throw
- 20:10Speaker 2: the ball, and they had some athletes and Central was
- 20:12Speaker 2: still able to you know, limit them fairly good.
- 20:14Speaker 1: So Cole Davis is a dog.
- 20:16Speaker 2: He's on defense and offense as a running back and
- 20:20Speaker 2: a linebacker for them. And yes, Central, they they're still
- 20:24Speaker 2: a pretty athletic team. They have a new quarterback. I
- 20:27Speaker 2: think they're I think they're a little bit more physical
- 20:29Speaker 2: upfront this year. So uh but yeah, I got uh,
- 20:34Speaker 2: I got I got Central covering and.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I'll yeah, I'll take the under as well.
- 20:40Speaker 3: I guess we agree again, all right. Next up into
- 20:44Speaker 3: our top five games of the week. Another massive rivalry
- 20:48Speaker 3: game here for GAC Supremacy Zumalt North at Francis Howells.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Zumalt North here by ten and a half points here
- 20:54Speaker 3: Overruns at forty three and a half. These two teams
- 20:57Speaker 3: said very weird games last week. Francis Howell off to
- 21:00Speaker 3: a really hot start against Drieka, but just couldn't string
- 21:03Speaker 3: it together for a whole game. Really good starts they
- 21:07Speaker 3: did and Zimo North. I guess you could say they
- 21:11Speaker 3: collapsed only for a temporary amount of time. It was
- 21:14Speaker 3: really yeah, about five minutes and they kind of got
- 21:17Speaker 3: back on track. Man, if Zumill North is at full strength,
- 21:22Speaker 3: I definitely trust him to cover the spread here. Well,
- 21:25Speaker 3: that's unfortunately has been a big if for them recently.
- 21:30Speaker 3: I mean, Philip Arposse has had a great week one
- 21:32Speaker 3: at QB.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I mean, he's he looked pretty good in the off
- 21:35Speaker 2: season with the you know, I got to see him
- 21:38Speaker 2: in person, and I saw some of his off season
- 21:40Speaker 2: you know clips he posted on Twitter, and he looked.
- 21:43Speaker 1: One thing that looked promising about him is his ability to.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Throw the ball down field, and you know, some of
- 21:48Speaker 2: the instances I saw, so he showed he was capable
- 21:52Speaker 2: of doing that in the summer, which again is ultimately
- 21:55Speaker 2: it's good but new.
- 21:56Speaker 1: But he was able to really display that.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Again, I don't know how exactly he displayed it because
- 22:00Speaker 2: I don't have any you know, we don't have any
- 22:02Speaker 2: film with that right now, but clearly he I mean
- 22:06Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty one, that's like, uh, that's like god
- 22:09Speaker 2: tier level for Zumalt North standards right there. Yeah, that
- 22:12Speaker 2: just that, doesn't I think maybe the last time at
- 22:15Speaker 2: Zumalt North quarterback is thrown for over twenty like.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Peyton Oker in twenty twenty one, that that that year
- 22:20Speaker 3: was a year because that was when Zamal North was
- 22:23Speaker 3: actually pass heavy, which was very odd, but they given
- 22:26Speaker 3: their personnel, they kind of had to do that.
- 22:27Speaker 2: They got off to a pretty bad start and then
- 22:29Speaker 2: they went to Hoker and they actually righted the ship
- 22:32Speaker 2: until until it all crashed down in the district championship.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. So yeah, yeah, so this is a more
- 22:40Speaker 3: diversified Themalt North offense, I guess you could say, but
- 22:43Speaker 3: this one should be interesting. I will be at this game. Actually,
- 22:46Speaker 3: it's at six thirty interesting start time. It's on Friday,
- 22:50Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with Zumalt North to cover here,
- 22:53Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with the over.
- 22:56Speaker 1: All, Right, depends out who all is available for Zuomant North.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe Jayden Burlson should be playing.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Okay, it should be.
- 23:07Speaker 2: I will mm if they can limit Ballard, it'll be tough.
- 23:13Speaker 2: But if they can limit him.
- 23:15Speaker 3: I guess maybe you could say they could limit it
- 23:17Speaker 3: to just Ballard because Rika did that. I mean Jille
- 23:19Speaker 3: and Boward had a great game last week.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was. They still only allowed twenty two points.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think North can do They can score
- 23:27Speaker 2: more than twenty two points against Hell. So I think
- 23:31Speaker 2: I have I have zoomot North winning. I'll have how
- 23:35Speaker 2: cover though, and I'll have I'll take the over with
- 23:41Speaker 2: that as well.
- 23:42Speaker 1: All right, I think I.
- 23:45Speaker 2: North versus holl was due for a pretty well, it
- 23:48Speaker 2: was a fun game last year, right, it was pretty close.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Yeah, it was actually pretty close and exciting last year.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think we I think we'll get another
- 23:55Speaker 1: one of those. Yeah.
- 23:56Speaker 3: Last year the final score was twenty two to nineteen.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a no bider.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Right. Next up, you'll be there, right, I will be there.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Okay, you can you can update us a little.
- 24:06Speaker 3: All right. Next up we got m CDs at the CMET.
- 24:10Speaker 3: The Spartans are half. This is a Saint Louis blue
- 24:15Speaker 3: blood matchup. It is, it really is, and you got
- 24:19Speaker 3: you mean funny enough. Last year m I CDs finished
- 24:22Speaker 3: the year at eleven and three, and their three losses
- 24:25Speaker 3: were to De Smet, Lutheran North and Platte County, which
- 24:28Speaker 3: were three states Class six. The Class four and the
- 24:32Speaker 3: Class five champions respectively. Yeah, so pretty pretty strong resume there.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good omen for Lift for Life, then.
- 24:39Speaker 3: It really is. And maybe against the Lift for Life
- 24:44Speaker 3: m I cds's offense was just kind of eh. I
- 24:47Speaker 3: mean they I don't know, I don't know what their
- 24:50Speaker 3: identity is trying to go for me, they it looks
- 24:51Speaker 3: like they're trying to establish the run, but they only
- 24:53Speaker 3: got one hundred and six rushing yards. I mean, four
- 24:55Speaker 3: point four yards for Kerry isn't bad at all, but
- 24:58Speaker 3: I mean only two und twelve yards of AF just
- 25:00Speaker 3: is not going to cut it against the elite teams
- 25:02Speaker 3: of the area. I mean, no Amnick had a not
- 25:06Speaker 3: very efficient game honestly, ten to ten to twenty seven
- 25:08Speaker 3: hundred five yards, two touchdowns, win, a reception less than Yeah,
- 25:13Speaker 3: so it maybe maybe if Mennichi can become a little
- 25:16Speaker 3: more efficient with his throws, then mc CES can stick
- 25:19Speaker 3: with it here. And this SMET they are coming off
- 25:23Speaker 3: a close loss to Creighton Prep from Omaha, Nebraska. But
- 25:28Speaker 3: I still think De Smet is just the more talented
- 25:30Speaker 3: team and there can be littleo much for the Rams
- 25:32Speaker 3: to handle. So I'm gonna go with the Smet to
- 25:34Speaker 3: cover here, and I'm gonna go with THEE. I'll go
- 25:38Speaker 3: with the under.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Gay Ridericuez had a decent game for the Spartans and
- 25:43Speaker 2: they were able to still I think fairly do a
- 25:48Speaker 2: not fairly just one just kind of did what they
- 25:51Speaker 2: wanted to do offensively. Defense was just a huge problem
- 25:54Speaker 2: for them against Creighton Prep. So it looks like the
- 25:59Speaker 2: Spartans offense has got pretty good potential there.
- 26:01Speaker 1: So I'm going to.
- 26:05Speaker 2: I'll, I'll take the over in this one because I
- 26:07Speaker 2: know Henry Rohan is due back for the Rams. He's
- 26:10Speaker 2: coming off of an injury, so he did not play
- 26:14Speaker 2: in that game, but he is supposed to be back,
- 26:18Speaker 2: so I'll, I think I might see this will put
- 26:20Speaker 2: up some points there. But yeah, the Smet there probably
- 26:25Speaker 2: again I like what they do there, so not great, uh,
- 26:30Speaker 2: not great commentary on my part. I just I just
- 26:32Speaker 2: I just like the show coach Merritt. There's a lot
- 26:36Speaker 2: of coaches who are fans of the show, but we're
- 26:37Speaker 2: happy that he's one of them. So yes, not that
- 26:40Speaker 2: that we're biased or anything, So I mean, clearly.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I'm not biased.
- 26:46Speaker 2: I picked Mixture to win last year in the state championship.
- 26:49Speaker 2: He did so, yes, I I do have de smet
- 26:51Speaker 2: covering all right.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Next up, this one's been interesting the past few years.
- 26:55Speaker 3: Lutheran North at blair Oaks.
- 26:57Speaker 1: These two teams have history.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Luther North four and a half points here the over
- 27:01Speaker 3: fifty two and a half. This has usually been kind
- 27:05Speaker 3: of a well, I mean, for luther North was in
- 27:08Speaker 3: Class three for a bit and it was the two
- 27:10Speaker 3: best teams in Class three playing in the regular season.
- 27:13Speaker 1: The Lutheran North not play Week one, No, they did not.
- 27:16Speaker 3: It's okay, interesting, it seems odd blair Oaks coming off
- 27:22Speaker 3: a big win against Maryville. Maryville's usual Class three, you
- 27:28Speaker 3: could say, a powerhouse. I mean, they've been a.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Class three last year.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're a very good Class three team. Lark's
- 27:35Speaker 3: handled them to fourteen.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Blair Oaks is in Class two this year, by the way.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Really interesting, Okay, well, which I'm probably I'm pretty sure
- 27:45Speaker 2: they love that, so yeah, yeah, but I.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Mean they these two teams have played each year the
- 27:54Speaker 3: past seven years except for twenty nineteen and twenty twenty one.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Lutheran North has able to win the last couple of them.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Last year in convincing fashion. They won fifty eight, so
- 28:07Speaker 3: we'll see if they can keep that up. I'm gonna
- 28:09Speaker 3: go with I'm gonna go with Blair Oks to win
- 28:13Speaker 3: this game. Man, I'm gonna go with Blair Oks to win,
- 28:15Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with the.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Over I agree with you on that one.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Blair Oks has a lot of key guys coming back,
- 28:22Speaker 2: including their quarterback, Tyler Backs, and.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I want to go.
- 28:28Speaker 2: I think that they they lost to Luther North and
- 28:30Speaker 2: two years ago at blair Oaks. I believe, yes, But
- 28:32Speaker 2: they're three they're three and two overall against Luther North
- 28:35Speaker 2: and they're three and one at home, and this is
- 28:38Speaker 2: gonna be one of the best games in the state.
- 28:40Speaker 2: And so we'll see if we can get to that
- 28:43Speaker 2: game this week. I can't guarantee it, but certainly would
- 28:48Speaker 2: love to film it. And yeah, I think there's gonna
- 28:51Speaker 2: be a lot of good entertainment in this one. And
- 28:55Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go with the Falcons.
- 28:56Speaker 1: You know, lutheror North has a little bit of advantage.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Because they got fit home on blair Oaks and blair
- 29:02Speaker 2: Oaks has no film on Luther North. But blair Oaks
- 29:05Speaker 2: already has a game under their belt. So yeah, it's it. Yeah,
- 29:12Speaker 2: So that's not the reason why I'm not pick I'm
- 29:15Speaker 2: not picking Luther North. I just think you know, Blacks
- 29:18Speaker 2: has got a great scheme. And I mean Luther North
- 29:20Speaker 2: they obviously lost a lot of players the to transfer,
- 29:24Speaker 2: but they still have I think that they still have
- 29:27Speaker 2: a pretty good, uh starting lineup, but they probably just
- 29:30Speaker 2: don't have that much depth. So and Blair Oaks is
- 29:35Speaker 2: a team they everybody plays one way. Typically maybe they
- 29:38Speaker 2: have one or two guys go two ways, but for
- 29:40Speaker 2: the most part, they want to play one way. In
- 29:42Speaker 2: the fact that they're they're classes well typically Class three
- 29:45Speaker 2: but class through this year.
- 29:46Speaker 1: But the fact like they're that.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Small of a school and are able to that's pretty
- 29:50Speaker 3: crazy to do that. That's extremely rare, extremely I mean
- 29:53Speaker 3: there's teams who try to do that in class five
- 29:56Speaker 3: and can't do it.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's just their their their quality is drops
- 30:00Speaker 2: off yep a lot.
- 30:01Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, all right, Next up, number two game
- 30:06Speaker 3: of the week. Massive, massive game like Gadsden County, Florida
- 30:09Speaker 3: at East Saint Louis and Geoay Scholars Classic Flyers are
- 30:12Speaker 3: feared by ten and a half points. Here, the over
- 30:14Speaker 3: runners at forty eight and a half. Gadsden County is
- 30:16Speaker 3: a powerhouse program out of the northwest Florida area. They're
- 30:20Speaker 3: about a half hour outside of Tallahassee. The give y'all perspective,
- 30:24Speaker 3: They're owned one so far this year. They I believe
- 30:27Speaker 3: they lost to Tift County. You had lost to Tift County,
- 30:30Speaker 3: Georgia week one twenty two to zero, or actually week
- 30:33Speaker 3: zero for us because that was before.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Yeah, so they had a bye last week.
- 30:36Speaker 3: They had a bye last week, and they are coming
- 30:39Speaker 3: over to the East Side to play the Flyers, and
- 30:42Speaker 3: Max Preps has them ranked as the forty seventh best
- 30:45Speaker 3: team in Florida. I mean they've been They've been really
- 30:48Speaker 3: good the past several years. I believe they were in
- 30:52Speaker 3: the top fifty nationally last year. They were twelve and
- 30:54Speaker 3: two last year, and they lost in the state title
- 31:01Speaker 3: game last year. Gastin County did so.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Unless it was a semi final, but yeah, it clearly
- 31:07Speaker 2: went really far.
- 31:09Speaker 3: So really really good team. I don't really know too
- 31:13Speaker 3: much about them, honestly, they're kind of far away, but yeah,
- 31:18Speaker 3: but at least for East St.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Louis, Florida is obviously one of the best states in
- 31:22Speaker 2: the country.
- 31:24Speaker 1: The developed football players, oh for sure.
- 31:27Speaker 3: And you know for the Flyers, I mean, we know
- 31:31Speaker 3: the typical guys that have mysn Johnson Cook has been great,
- 31:35Speaker 3: was great for him. Jabari Lofton, he was he got
- 31:38Speaker 3: the scoop and score last week. He's been green on
- 31:41Speaker 3: defense the past couple of years. So I believe East St.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Louis.
- 31:45Speaker 3: I mean, because they played a good games and Catholic.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Team.
- 31:50Speaker 2: They should have won that game. They should have they
- 31:51Speaker 2: should have won that game. They probably were the overall
- 31:54Speaker 2: better team.
- 31:55Speaker 3: I'll say that, m hm, And I think the Flyers
- 31:58Speaker 3: can recover. Well, I'm gonna go with eas St. Louis
- 32:01Speaker 3: to cover here. I'm gonna go with the over. Actually
- 32:04Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Under, yeah, because I don't know how good what Gatton
- 32:09Speaker 2: County's offense is.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Like, just be a little different for me from you,
- 32:14Speaker 1: and I'll take the over. But I do have Eas St.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Louis covering.
- 32:19Speaker 2: So I'm really excited to see Mice and Johnson Cook
- 32:24Speaker 2: person because he's he really could be you know, if
- 32:27Speaker 2: he if he's you know, placed for Saint Louis's next
- 32:29Speaker 2: two years, he could be one of the best running.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Backs we've ever seen.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's six foot two, he's huge, Like that's
- 32:37Speaker 2: kind of like not, well, well.
- 32:38Speaker 3: He's six two twenty right.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean big dude, not to like, I mean,
- 32:43Speaker 2: we've had some big running backs before, but not like that.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Like he kind of speed.
- 32:48Speaker 2: He kind of reminds you of Tony van Zant somewhat.
- 32:51Speaker 2: It's a pretty heavy comparison because he was a big dude,
- 32:54Speaker 2: but he was fast as hell. And so I guess
- 32:59Speaker 2: I kind of said it there, but you know, we'll we'll,
- 33:02Speaker 2: we'll see how that all lines up. And obviously they
- 33:04Speaker 2: got Saint Louis, got a number of receivers, and that
- 33:09Speaker 2: their offensive line is pretty big is usual too, and
- 33:12Speaker 2: so yeah, I'm really looking forward to that game and
- 33:16Speaker 2: thinking the Flyers are gonna come out with a victory there.
- 33:18Speaker 3: M hm, alright. On tour number one game of the week,
- 33:21Speaker 3: we got Cardinal Ritter apt CBC. Cadets are favor about
- 33:25Speaker 3: eight and a half points here, the furness at fifty
- 33:26Speaker 3: one and a half. I think CBC's depth is what's
- 33:31Speaker 3: gonna get them going here.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Cars got pretty good depth to at least for their receivers.
- 33:36Speaker 3: I should say, that's the thing is whose defensive line
- 33:40Speaker 3: is beginning is going to be getting good pressures in
- 33:43Speaker 3: the third.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Quarter's got a pretty good defense though.
- 33:45Speaker 3: But yeah, that's what's gonna come down to, is which
- 33:49Speaker 3: because we know Cardinal Ritter's QB situation is interesting. We'll
- 33:53Speaker 3: see if they go We'll see if they rotate again.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Well here's a tweing. Let's just go by cash. His
- 34:00Speaker 2: last name is a nightmare. But but and and and
- 34:04Speaker 2: his name is so first name of Suga.
- 34:06Speaker 1: You know Tim, So let's just say that, I don't
- 34:09Speaker 1: they weren't really rotating.
- 34:10Speaker 2: I felt like he was the quarterback throughout the first half,
- 34:12Speaker 2: and then they felt like they.
- 34:14Speaker 1: Needed to change and it worked for a little bit.
- 34:16Speaker 2: And then they had Ryland Moore in there against Jackson,
- 34:20Speaker 2: and then I think for their last two drives they
- 34:24Speaker 2: did put Kashmir and then I think after he took
- 34:26Speaker 2: a sack on their their last drive the game, that
- 34:28Speaker 2: they put Ryland Moore in there while they like during
- 34:30Speaker 2: like a no huddle.
- 34:32Speaker 1: It was pretty crazy. So, yeah, that was.
- 34:36Speaker 2: Very interesting how that worked out. But that would be
- 34:39Speaker 2: one of the big questions who's going to start for them?
- 34:41Speaker 2: So but definitely. CBC has definitely got the advantage at
- 34:47Speaker 2: quarterback with Nick McClellan. It's kind of we've seen this
- 34:50Speaker 2: happen a lot of times where that you have a
- 34:52Speaker 2: really good defensive player who's getting recruited for that position
- 34:56Speaker 2: in college but also happens to be a really good quarterback.
- 35:01Speaker 2: He's just he's just one of those guys where it's
- 35:03Speaker 2: like that for.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Him, highly productive, fast and can throw.
- 35:09Speaker 2: And they got CBC's got really good running back depth.
- 35:11Speaker 2: I mean think Vic Williams had a huge game against
- 35:13Speaker 2: Agrahart Griffin and like we didn't even mention Courtney Rivers,
- 35:17Speaker 2: so yeah, and then they receiving deaf it's pretty good.
- 35:20Speaker 1: They're like court a gauge being one of those guys.
- 35:24Speaker 3: And he had a pick last yet last week on
- 35:27Speaker 3: defense too.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Right, And CBC they returned like I think three or
- 35:31Speaker 2: four stars on their offensive line and they always were
- 35:33Speaker 2: low there anyway, So I I think Ridder's gonna have
- 35:36Speaker 2: a harder time against CBC, honestly. And then obviously the
- 35:40Speaker 2: big question was CBC's offense defense, and uh, it didn't
- 35:43Speaker 2: seem like they were had had much trouble against SHG
- 35:47Speaker 2: when they played him but then but I think Ridder's
- 35:49Speaker 2: gonna be a tougher opponent in that regard.
- 35:50Speaker 1: So but yeah, I.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Beating going to CBC and coming up with the victory
- 35:57Speaker 2: is really tough. And it's not like the pit with
- 36:01Speaker 2: the atmosphere there. But they just have a certain like
- 36:04Speaker 2: when CBC. They just have a certain belief that at
- 36:08Speaker 2: some point it's gonna happen in any game, and it
- 36:11Speaker 2: usually does, so I hope to have I don't think
- 36:15Speaker 2: it's gonna be the biggest crowd ever, but there I
- 36:19Speaker 2: would imagine there would be like plenty of fans and
- 36:21Speaker 2: then plenty of neutral fans there as well.
- 36:23Speaker 1: So I got CBC covering, and you know, I'll.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm going to CBC in the over. I'll
- 36:36Speaker 2: take the over as well. I think Riddor will.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Actually I changed our mind. I think it'll be the under.
- 36:42Speaker 2: I think CBC is gonna do if Ridard tries the
- 36:46Speaker 2: same stuff, but like all those screen passes and.
- 36:48Speaker 1: They'll work for a little bit.
- 36:49Speaker 2: But I don't think against CBC with their athletes in
- 36:52Speaker 2: the secondary and then on outside linebackers, I don't think
- 36:55Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to do that as much as well,
- 36:57Speaker 2: So I'll take the under and CBC to cover, all right,
- 37:01Speaker 2: So that's if that happens, then is gonna start owned two.
- 37:07Speaker 4: I'm gonna look up last time that happened because I think, well,
- 37:12Speaker 4: they twenty twenty, but their schedule, like the schedules were
- 37:19Speaker 4: truncated though.
- 37:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna said, that's that's an asterisk here
- 37:22Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, and if not, then you can just
- 37:24Speaker 3: always resort to twenty nineteen when they had to forfeit
- 37:26Speaker 3: every game.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Okay, let's get that. It's been a while, maybe two thousand,
- 37:31Speaker 2: oh man. I mean they weren't great for a while
- 37:33Speaker 2: in football until like twenty and seventeen, twenty eighteen kind of,
- 37:39Speaker 2: but they weren't like but here's the thing.
- 37:42Speaker 1: I mean, they just played, they're playing Jackson and CBC,
- 37:44Speaker 1: and like.
- 37:45Speaker 2: They really don't not duck in smoke, No, they're not,
- 37:48Speaker 2: and they really don't have like I don't think they
- 37:51Speaker 2: really have like a back to back slate of games
- 37:53Speaker 2: where they really can kind of confidently go in and
- 37:57Speaker 2: be like, yeah, we got this in the bag. So
- 38:00Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be a tough sledding for them. But
- 38:03Speaker 2: but they can handle it. So it's gonna be and
- 38:05Speaker 2: they're gonna be really one of the more interesting teams
- 38:07Speaker 2: to follow this season, just as far as like every
- 38:10Speaker 2: week might have some drama there, Yes, so, but that's
- 38:14Speaker 2: that's what makes it so fun for covering high school football.
- 38:17Speaker 3: Okay, so the last time Cardinal Ritter lost, I guess
- 38:21Speaker 3: started zero to two with two on field losses. So
- 38:23Speaker 3: we're not gonna include the COVID year. We're not gonna
- 38:25Speaker 3: include twenty nineteen.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Yeah, because we're two weird years.
- 38:28Speaker 3: It was twenty twelve. They lost a Writtner week one
- 38:31Speaker 3: in St. Dominic week two and they beat Trinity week three.
- 38:33Speaker 1: That was back when Rittner was pretty good. That was.
- 38:36Speaker 2: That was Writtener's last Okay, they had they were pretty
- 38:38Speaker 2: good twelve, and they're pretty good in seventeen. But yeah St.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Dominic I don't think was that good back then, and
- 38:46Speaker 2: then Trinity was not.
- 38:47Speaker 1: That good yet.
- 38:48Speaker 2: So yeah, that was that just seemed like not a
- 38:51Speaker 2: good ridder team back then, but that was a long
- 38:55Speaker 2: time ago.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Yep. All right, all right, that'll do it for us.
- 38:59Speaker 2: We'll hit you back next week with more stuff and
- 39:03Speaker 2: maybe we'll talk about the Misha district class and district
- 39:07Speaker 2: assignments because we definitely were fired.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Up about that. Yeah, all right, see you guys piece
