1:06
Speaker 1: very important people before we get started. I want to
1:08
Speaker 1: mention downtown Ronnie Brown, super fan, Ronnie Brown. And of course,
1:13
Speaker 1: also want to mention a show is not possible without
1:17

1:21

1:36
Speaker 1: care of it right jeremy.
1:38
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely absolutely he's uh best in the business.
1:42
Speaker 1: I agree with that 100 so with that being said
1:44
Speaker 1: let's get started uh You guys coming off a win
1:48
Speaker 1: over Jones County, the Greyhounds. And this was your first
1:54
Speaker 1: real home game of the year.
1:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was our home opener. It was a nice crowd.
2:00
Speaker 3: You know, we got off to a good, a fast start.
2:05
Speaker 3: You know, we fumbled the first kickoff, which was unfortunate
2:09
Speaker 3: and gave them a short field and defense was able
2:11
Speaker 3: to hold and you know, we jumped out to a,
2:15
Speaker 3: a pretty fast start.
2:16
Speaker 2: And we, we, we had a little bit of a.
2:18
Speaker 3: Delay, about an hour long delay, had some lightning in
2:21
Speaker 3: the area and some, you know, so they got us
2:25
Speaker 3: off the field and, and then we were able to
2:29
Speaker 3: continue play. So about the time that we, the second
2:32
Speaker 3: quarter started, we were off the field. So we finished
2:36
Speaker 3: off the second quarter, had a really brief 10 minute
2:38
Speaker 3: halftime and, and then finished off the game. But Yeah,
2:42
Speaker 3: it wasn't without any teachable moments, I guess you'd say.
2:46
Speaker 3: You know, when you go to the locker room, you
2:48
Speaker 3: got the guys amped up to play the game. Right.
2:51
Speaker 2: We're playing the game. We're playing well.
2:53
Speaker 3: You got to go to the locker room and, you know,
2:56
Speaker 3: you got to kind of regroup and refocus before you
2:58
Speaker 3: hit the field again. So that was– I was kind
3:01
Speaker 3: of glad it happened, even though it killed the crowd.
3:04
Speaker 2: It was big. And a lot of them came back.
3:06
Speaker 2: So hats off to the Bear Nation for doing that. Yeah, 100%.
3:09
Speaker 1: That's what a lot of people don't realize. You know,
3:12
Speaker 1: when these games, you know, the teams can go back
3:15
Speaker 1: to the locker room and wait it out. Fans have
3:17
Speaker 1: got to make a decision. You know, do I go
3:19
Speaker 1: back home? Do I wait it out? And it sounds
3:22
Speaker 1: like many of the fans there decided to wait it out.
3:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I mean, they made them leave the stadium, obviously,
3:30
Speaker 3: and take shelter and then let them back in. And
3:33
Speaker 3: I'd say most of them came back in. And Jones County,
3:36
Speaker 3: you know, they– they brought a nice crowd too. It
3:39
Speaker 3: was a gold out, which, uh, you know, it's for
3:42
Speaker 3: a good cause, you know, Jay's hope, um, for childhood cancer.
3:46
Speaker 3: We did that, uh, you know, so we did it
3:50
Speaker 3: the same week we played Jones County, which, uh, they,
3:54
Speaker 3: they're gold and purple. So, um, maybe they thought the
3:57
Speaker 3: majority of the people wearing gold were for them. I
4:00
Speaker 3: don't know, but maybe poor planning, but nevertheless, it's for
4:03
Speaker 3: a good cause.
4:04
Speaker 2: And we, we, we like to do things like that for, uh,
4:07
Speaker 2: Jay's hope.
4:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. Well, I'm glad that part of it worked out.
4:12
Speaker 1: And actually, the whole game worked out in your favor. Now,
4:15
Speaker 1: you talked about the early glitches there, Coach, as far
4:18
Speaker 1: as mishandling the opening kick. Take us kind of through
4:22
Speaker 1: that sequence of events there at the beginning of the game.
4:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we, you know, received the ball first,
4:30
Speaker 3: you know, so we were going to be on offense,
4:32
Speaker 3: but we kick off return team and we just mishandled
4:34
Speaker 3: the kick and didn't communicate very well. And, uh, you know,
4:39
Speaker 3: so it bounced off of us and they ended up
4:41
Speaker 3: getting that, but, uh, our defense was able to, to,
4:44
Speaker 3: to make a stop on a short field, which is
4:46
Speaker 3: a great for them and for our team to start off.
4:49
Speaker 3: And then from there, we just, uh, you know, started,
4:53
Speaker 3: you know, on offense and we're able to kind of
4:55
Speaker 3: click from the beginning and got off to a, to
4:57
Speaker 3: a really fast start, went up 14-0 on them. Uh,
5:01
Speaker 3: Austin Stinson, obviously, uh, you know, he had another big night. So,
5:05
Speaker 3: If you're able to run the ball, you know, you're
5:07
Speaker 3: able to have a lot.
5:08
Speaker 2: Of success in high school football, any football for that matter.
5:11
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right.
5:13
Speaker 1: You know, the basic fundamental of football is running the football.
5:18
Speaker 1: It's not throwing it around. It's about running the football.
5:21
Speaker 1: If you can do that, everything else kind of falls
5:22
Speaker 1: into place, doesn't it?
5:24
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, especially with what we want to do offensively,
5:27
Speaker 3: you know, if people are geared up to stop the run,
5:29
Speaker 3: then we're going to need to, you know, throw it.
5:31
Speaker 3: And so it's all a numbers game, you know, you're
5:33
Speaker 3: trying to, go where they're not. And so, but he's
5:38
Speaker 3: certainly off to a fast start and a strong start
5:41
Speaker 3: to his senior campaign. And so we're real happy for Austin,
5:46
Speaker 3: the way he's running the ball. And our backup, you know,
5:51
Speaker 3: Jared Henry's doing a great job at running back, too,
5:54
Speaker 3: to spell him.
5:55
Speaker 2: Both of them are really having a tremendous year so far.
5:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Talking to Jeremy Edwards, head coach of the
6:01
Speaker 1: Hoco Bears, is our week leak. Houston County Coach's Show
6:05
Speaker 1: brought to you by State Farm Agent Ryan Lyons. All right,
6:08
Speaker 1: so you guys were able to kind of shake off
6:11
Speaker 1: the cobwebs. A good first half, and I guess that's
6:14
Speaker 1: kind of the goal in games like this. 31-7, I
6:19
Speaker 1: believe I saw, was the first half score. So you
6:21
Speaker 1: had to feel real good about the way things were going,
6:23
Speaker 1: and this is a pretty good Jones County team. I mean,
6:26
Speaker 1: you know, they're well coached. I think they were, if
6:29
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, 6-4 last year or so. Um, the
6:32
Speaker 1: Greyhounds have always got a sound football program and you know,
6:35
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of on the fact that they
6:37
Speaker 1: are going to put a sound football program on the
6:39
Speaker 1: field and no exception with this year coach.
6:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:43
Speaker 3: I think, I think coach Montgomery does a good job.
6:45
Speaker 3: You know, he's a good football coach and, uh, you know, they,
6:49
Speaker 3: they were, um, you know, having a successful season, you
6:53
Speaker 3: got to have some luck, right? I mean, you got
6:54
Speaker 3: to keep guys, uh, you got to keep guys healthy.
6:57
Speaker 3: I know he's been hit with some injury, um, in
7:00
Speaker 3: his first two games. And so they, they weren't completely
7:03
Speaker 3: full force. And so I think, you know, we were
7:06
Speaker 3: able to kind of expose them in some places where
7:08
Speaker 3: they had some injury and that, that was from film
7:11
Speaker 3: study and scouting reports and things like that.
7:13
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, they, their.
7:15
Speaker 3: Kids played hard for them. Um, you know, like I said,
7:18
Speaker 3: they brought a good crowd, so they got a nice
7:20
Speaker 3: backing over there in gray and, um, you know, we
7:23
Speaker 3: were just able to jump on them and, and continue
7:26
Speaker 3: to kind of press the gas pedal to the end. And, uh, But, again,
7:30
Speaker 3: I think they're going to have a lot of success
7:33
Speaker 3: once they hit region play.
7:34
Speaker 2: They really had four really tough games to start off.
7:40
Speaker 3: They played Valdosta. They played Peach. They came to us,
7:45
Speaker 3: and then they go to Burke County. So, I mean,
7:47
Speaker 3: they didn't make it easy on themselves. But once they
7:50
Speaker 3: hit region, I think they get healthy. I think they're
7:52
Speaker 3: going to have a good season.
7:54
Speaker 1: Absolutely. So we, of course, talked about over the show,
7:57
Speaker 1: talking about Labor Day. We are recording this show on Monday,
8:02
Speaker 1: Labor Day. So how do you guys have to alter
8:05
Speaker 1: the practice schedule to account for the holiday? Not at all.
8:10
Speaker 2: We didn't do anything different. We practiced this morning. We
8:14
Speaker 2: get here.
8:16
Speaker 3: We start getting guys taped around 5 a.m. and we
8:19
Speaker 3: hit the practice field at 5.30 a.m. Um, we, we
8:22
Speaker 3: practice for an hour and four minutes. Um, but now
8:26
Speaker 3: if you come watch our practice, which, uh, you know,
8:29
Speaker 3: we got a couple of guys, you mentioned Mr.
8:31
Speaker 2: Ronnie, he'll always come watch practice.
8:34
Speaker 3: Um, it's where we're getting it for an hour and
8:37
Speaker 3: four minutes, you know? So, I mean, there's no slowing down.
8:40
Speaker 3: It's a lot of transition, fast tempo. That's how we
8:44
Speaker 3: kind of get in shape. You know, we don't do
8:46
Speaker 3: a lot of, um, conditioning at post-practice. That's not what
8:50
Speaker 3: we believe in, and so we were able to do that. Now,
8:53
Speaker 3: without being in school today, we needed to still watch
8:56
Speaker 3: the film, and we needed to lift, and we needed
8:59
Speaker 3: to meet, and so once we got off the practice field,
9:02
Speaker 3: feed them breakfast, have a team meeting, a lift, some
9:06
Speaker 3: position meetings, a walkthrough, and by 9 o'clock.
9:09
Speaker 2: We were done, and here I am talking to you. Absolutely.
9:13
Speaker 1: That's a full morning. Obviously, it's important to keep the routine.
9:19
Speaker 1: I know I'm not mentioning names or anything, but I
9:22
Speaker 1: know a lot of the schedules for today with doing
9:25
Speaker 1: our coaches show, we've got a lot of coaches that
9:28
Speaker 1: are basically altering their schedules. I wasn't sure how you
9:32
Speaker 1: guys did that, but good to hear that nothing changes
9:36
Speaker 1: schedule as usual. You're doing that. to get ready for
9:43
Speaker 1: the next opponent. Why don't you tell us who that is?
9:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got, we got to go on the road
9:48
Speaker 3: to Central Carrollton. You know, I don't think that we've
9:52
Speaker 3: ever played them in the history of the school. That
9:57
Speaker 3: was one of our non-region games that we picked up
9:59
Speaker 3: and they're, you know, coming off a great season.
10:02
Speaker 2: I think they.
10:04
Speaker 3: Were 10-2 last year, I believe. So they had a
10:08
Speaker 3: strong season last year. And Coach Brown has done an
10:12
Speaker 3: excellent job there. You know, he's in town, obviously, with
10:15
Speaker 3: the Carrollton Packers. trojans and so that's never easy you
10:18
Speaker 3: know you fight that battle when you got you know
10:21
Speaker 3: a powerhouse like that just up the road he's done
10:25
Speaker 3: a nice job with uh his team and since he's
10:27
Speaker 3: gotten there of making them uh a strong contender each
10:31
Speaker 3: year and so uh it's going to be a challenge
10:34
Speaker 3: for us on the road they've got a quarterback that
10:36
Speaker 3: um wears number two he's not very big He looks
10:41
Speaker 3: like Johnny Manziel. I'm not joking when I say that.
10:44
Speaker 3: He plays the game a lot like Johnny Manziel. He
10:47
Speaker 3: runs around.
10:50
Speaker 2: They do a great.
10:51
Speaker 3: Job of guys getting open when he's running around. It
10:55
Speaker 3: looks a little chaotic, but they're making explosive plays, and
10:58
Speaker 3: they're staying in games, and they're scoring a lot of points.
11:01
Speaker 3: We've got to do a great job of controlling him. Uh,
11:06
Speaker 3: the two receivers they got zero and 10 are really,
11:09
Speaker 3: really good. And they got other ones as well, but
11:11
Speaker 3: they stick out on the film. And, um, so we
11:15
Speaker 3: got our hands, uh, full with, and our work cut
11:18
Speaker 3: out for us with this, this offense that they got
11:21
Speaker 3: defensively there, uh, you know, they play a lot of guys, um, they're,
11:25
Speaker 3: they're pretty deep and they, uh, they move guys around
11:28
Speaker 3: a lot and I think they do a really good job.
11:31
Speaker 3: And so it's a, it's a well-coached football team that, um,
11:34
Speaker 3: not only are we going to play a well coached team,
11:36
Speaker 3: that's a good team, but we're also going to have
11:38
Speaker 3: to do it traveling two and a half hours up
11:41
Speaker 3: the road.
11:42
Speaker 2: And so, um, you know, that's, that's the way it is.
11:45
Speaker 3: It's, it's good to be able to get some of
11:47
Speaker 3: that travel, uh, in, you know, we, we got to
11:50
Speaker 3: travel a little bit more after this season. Uh, we'll
11:53
Speaker 3: have to go to Lee, but for the most part,
11:55
Speaker 3: we're pretty relatively close to home.
11:57
Speaker 2: So it's good to have a couple.
11:59
Speaker 3: We had the early game at center park against West
12:01
Speaker 3: Forsyth and Atlanta, and then this one.
12:03
Speaker 2: So, uh, Yeah, we're excited.
12:06
Speaker 1: We're talking about looking back at the game, the big
12:08
Speaker 1: win over Jones County. I know that Austin Stinson had
12:11
Speaker 1: a big game. He's one of our top performers for
12:14
Speaker 1: this week, in fact, because of his performance. Had a
12:16
Speaker 1: big night, but he wasn't the only one, was he?
12:19
Speaker 2: No.
12:19
Speaker 3: Well, obviously, yeah, you mentioned Austin, 18 carries, 226 yards
12:24
Speaker 3: and three touchdowns.
12:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. Quarterback Ryan Maxwell played well. He was 17 for
12:29
Speaker 2: 23 for 211. Always.
12:34
Speaker 1: Always a high completion percentage too. I noticed that with Ryan,
12:37
Speaker 1: like completing, like, I don't know, 75%.
12:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:41
Speaker 3: He's been pretty efficient so far in his career. You know,
12:44
Speaker 3: he works hard at it. We had, they made a
12:47
Speaker 3: good play on a, they actually got a pick six
12:51
Speaker 3: on us. You know, the kid made a great play
12:53
Speaker 3: and jumped it. And that was one of their touchdowns.
12:56
Speaker 3: So our defense really only gave up a touchdown, you know,
13:00
Speaker 3: so we gave them one there. Jeffrey Thomas, JT, he
13:04
Speaker 3: had seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown.
13:07
Speaker 2: So him and Austin have both.
13:10
Speaker 3: Had two great opening games, each of them going over,
13:16
Speaker 3: with JT going over 100 yards receiving and Austin running
13:20
Speaker 3: for 300 and then 200. So he's off to a
13:23
Speaker 3: good start, but I'm not surprised because of the offseason
13:26
Speaker 3: he had and the work he put in.
13:29
Speaker 1: And, of course, we talked about the play of Ryan Maxwell,
13:33
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Coach, I have to keep reminding myself and,
13:38
Speaker 1: of course, reminding our viewers, he is only.
13:42
Speaker 2: A– He's a junior.
13:45
Speaker 3: Junior? Okay.
13:46
Speaker 1: Still young, but he seems to play well beyond his
13:50
Speaker 1: years from a maturity standpoint, doesn't he?
13:53
Speaker 2: Well, he is a very mature kid.
13:54
Speaker 3: You know, he's pretty polished up when it comes to–
13:58
Speaker 3: how he carries himself and how he speaks to people,
14:01
Speaker 3: you know, not only his peers, but also adults, uh,
14:05
Speaker 3: well-mannered kid. Yeah.
14:06
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great kid. He does a great job.
14:08
Speaker 3: He works hard, you know, um, he, he takes hard coaching,
14:13
Speaker 3: you know, I'm, I'm on him pretty good a lot,
14:16
Speaker 3: you know, and I expect a lot out of him
14:18
Speaker 3: and he understands and he meets the challenge every week.
14:21
Speaker 3: So yeah, he's, he, he, you know, we want to
14:24
Speaker 3: try to keep getting better obviously, but yeah, he's, uh, Certainly,
14:28
Speaker 3: we're blessed to have him as part of our program.
14:32
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Anybody else that you'd like to point out as
14:35
Speaker 1: far as their performance?
14:37
Speaker 3: Well, not only we spotted them seven points, you know,
14:40
Speaker 3: with the pick six, obviously. We wish we could get
14:43
Speaker 3: that one back. But we also had a touchdown on defense.
14:47
Speaker 3: Our linebacker, Senior Kawan Jones, picked off a pass and
14:51
Speaker 3: returned it for a touchdown. So that was– he played
14:54
Speaker 3: a really good game as well. Dee Morris, our linebacker,
14:58
Speaker 3: we chose him for player of the game. I believe
15:01
Speaker 3: he had eight tackles and three third down stops. And so,
15:04
Speaker 3: you know, he played really well. He's kind of our
15:07
Speaker 3: leader of the, you know, interior linebackers. And then, you know,
15:10
Speaker 3: they tried to do some things to formation our best guy,
15:14
Speaker 3: our best, you know, top player, I guess, on defense,
15:17
Speaker 3: if you will.
15:18
Speaker 2: He's a really good player.
15:19
Speaker 1: What's his name?
15:21
Speaker 2: Zion Paul. Okay. He's committed to Pitt.
15:24
Speaker 3: I mean, he's, They tried to formation them out of
15:26
Speaker 3: the box and do some things, so we were able
15:28
Speaker 3: to make some adjustments. Again, I really can't say enough
15:31
Speaker 3: about our defensive staff. They did a great job. Jones
15:35
Speaker 3: County had a good plan of some of the things
15:38
Speaker 3: they were doing.
15:38
Speaker 1: They're a good team.
15:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we were able to kind of counter that
15:43
Speaker 3: with some adjustments, especially when we had the layoff. That
15:47
Speaker 3: kind of helped us a little bit to kind of
15:49
Speaker 3: iron out some of that stuff before we went back
15:51
Speaker 3: and finished off the second quarter.
15:54
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
15:55
Speaker 1: Well, Coach, your team is playing well. And that's the
15:57
Speaker 1: reason I wanted to interject that when you were talking
16:00
Speaker 1: about them and the adjustments that you guys made. Because,
16:04
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times fans see a score
16:06
Speaker 1: like that and they may think, oh, that was, you know,
16:10
Speaker 1: a game we should have probably won. But no, that's
16:12
Speaker 1: a good football team, a very talented football team that
16:15
Speaker 1: you guys beat very decidedly. And so I think people
16:19
Speaker 1: need to recognize that coach and I'll give you the
16:21
Speaker 1: final word.
16:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:22
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a win as a win, you know, we, uh, we,
16:26
Speaker 3: we get excited about any type of win that we
16:28
Speaker 3: get and talk about it. I've mentioned it to you
16:31
Speaker 3: and on the show, you know, we don't take winning
16:34
Speaker 3: for granted. Um, there's a lot of teams that wish
16:37
Speaker 3: they could get a win. And so, uh, you know,
16:40
Speaker 3: whether it's a, uh, you know, really good win or
16:43
Speaker 3: an ugly win to us, it's, uh, We're trying to
16:45
Speaker 3: go 1-0, you know, and that's got to be the focus.
16:48
Speaker 3: It's very cliche, I guess. A lot of people talk
16:51
Speaker 3: about it. It's part of our culture. It's part of our,
16:55
Speaker 3: you know, core values is the 1-0 mentality. And that's
16:58
Speaker 3: all we're concerned about. That's over with now. We put
17:02
Speaker 3: it to rest. This morning when we had our team meeting,
17:05
Speaker 3: we talked about the goals that we met. We talked
17:08
Speaker 3: about the players of the week. And now we're on
17:11
Speaker 3: to Central Carrollton. And we know we got our work
17:13
Speaker 3: cut out for us. You know, we're going to try
17:16
Speaker 3: to be dialed in for Central Carrollton and go 1-0
17:19
Speaker 3: on the road. And, you know, because it makes for
17:22
Speaker 3: a better ride home after a win than.
17:24
Speaker 2: It does after a loss.
17:25
Speaker 3: But we know we've got to have a great week
17:28
Speaker 3: of preparation. And our guys will meet the challenge. And,
17:32
Speaker 3: you know, with an off, you know, a day off today,
17:36
Speaker 3: if you will, things not normal, no school, things like that.
17:40
Speaker 3: We actually have another day off tomorrow. We have a
17:42
Speaker 3: distance learning day. in our county where our kids are off,
17:46
Speaker 3: but they'll still practice. So there are some different things
17:50
Speaker 3: going on that don't make it as normal. We're trying
17:52
Speaker 3: to keep it as normal as possible. So I do
17:56
Speaker 3: encourage all of our fans to make the road trip,
17:58
Speaker 3: come support our guys.
18:00
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
18:01
Speaker 1: There you hear it from the coach himself, guys. Your
18:05
Speaker 1: attendance at these games makes a difference. Coach wouldn't say
18:10
Speaker 1: it if he didn't mean it. So get out there
18:12
Speaker 1: and support. The Hoko Bears this weekend. It's another tough one.
18:16
Speaker 1: Central Carrollson, by the way, one of the best young quarterbacks.
18:19
Speaker 1: I say young. Again, I followed him.
18:23
Speaker 2: J.R.
18:23
Speaker 1: Harris is his name and reminds me a lot of
18:27
Speaker 1: Ryan Maxwell. So it should be a lot of fun
18:30
Speaker 1: watching these two young gunslingers go at it Friday night.
18:34
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. It should be. It should be.
18:38
Speaker 1: Well, Coach, thank you so much, as always, for joining us.
18:40
Speaker 1: I know the fans look forward to it. I know
18:43
Speaker 1: we look forward to it. And, again, big salute to
18:46
Speaker 1: Ryan Lyon, State Farm Agent, for sponsoring the show. And
18:49
Speaker 1: really big salute to State Farm Agent, but downtown super fan,
18:56
Speaker 1: downtown Ronnie Brown. You know Ronnie Brown's going to be there.
18:59
Speaker 3: Oh, there's no doubt. There's no doubt. You'd have to– shoot,
19:03
Speaker 3: I don't even know. I don't think there's anything that
19:05
Speaker 3: would keep him from being there. To be quite honest,
19:07
Speaker 3: the guy is– You know, he's had his hips replaced,
19:10
Speaker 3: his knees replaced.
19:11
Speaker 2: You know, he just keeps on going.
19:13
Speaker 3: So he's really, really, really good to our program.
19:19
Speaker 2: Yep.
19:19
Speaker 1: Fans like that are very important to a program as well.
19:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that.
19:26
Speaker 3: We can't do a lot of the things that we
19:28
Speaker 3: do without the support. So I would love to mention that.
19:32
Speaker 3: You know, we've got a great fan base, a great parent. group,
19:37
Speaker 3: Touchdown Club, that does a great job of supporting us
19:40
Speaker 3: as coaches, supporting our kids and giving them everything they
19:44
Speaker 3: could ever imagine to try to give them a program
19:47
Speaker 3: they can't live without.
19:48
Speaker 2: So I would love to take that.
19:50
Speaker 3: The opportunity to say thank you to all those folks
19:54
Speaker 3: that make our life a lot easier and make it
19:56
Speaker 3: a special place for our kids here at HOCO.
