  Speaker 2: Coach Britt, How are you, brother, I'm good, I'm good.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: How are y'all doing? Man? We're good?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: You said, please excuse the weight we smell. I totally
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: get it. It is so hot out here, and I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: think you could get out of your car if you
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: haven't done nothing all day and just walk up here.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And you'd be sweating. It is a scorcher.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's pretty bad. I'm grateful at least Girl's
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: soccer ghost first block, so we beat the heat a
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: little bit, but I can't escape at the rest of
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: the day. I mean, you're you're in it. I just
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: got off the bus here short shortly after school ended,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: and uh, I'm here now. But we're here and we're
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: feeling good.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: So obviously we've been talking to several soccer coaches. I
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: have to ask this, and I know it's always a yest.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Do you enjoy the World Cup this year?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I did, obviously not the ending that USA had, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: as a as a soccer fan, I mean, it was
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: a big time. I mean because it kind of put
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: a put a rest to some stigma of we might
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: not be that passionate about soccer. And as you can saw,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: it was an influx of it from the from the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: world but also from US. I feel like we did
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: our fair share. So it was really fun to watch.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: The events were really good. It didn't get to go
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: catch one, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching just about every
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: match I can get my eyes on.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you would have to think, and I don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I don't pretend to know how far out those events
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: are bid on in the future. I'm sure it's you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the next two or three, but that the US would
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: be back in the running for that again.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, you would have to think. And I believe they
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: do it to in advance.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: And so we've already got our next two set up
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: and so they're gonna be voting on the third here soon.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you would, you would have to think. And
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: just from I consider myself a connoisseur as best as
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I can. But they've definitely from what I've read, they've
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: had talks of it, they've loved it. FIFA loved it,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and I mean, we can put the best show on.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: In the world, man, right, no doubt about it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: We're visiting with Dalen Brett.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: He is a girl's circus coach here at Northwest Frank
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and it is Cougar's day on your radio, all right,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: So let's talk soccer here locally. Take us through what
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the last few years have been like for you guys,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and then of course about the passion you know obviously
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: talking to KK Alder, which we know baseball is real big.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We're in a football season. Soccer is real big here too.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man, So I mean I grew up in it, definitely.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I'm from the area. I'm from Breaking County down the
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: road in Florence. But since i've been here, this is
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: my only teacher job I had, and all the teachers
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: up there tell me, do not take it for granted,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the ones that have had pit stops along the way.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: But I've absolutely loved it here. You've always known about
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Northwest ranking soccer, you know, since I was growing up
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: early two thousands, all that good stuff. But being here
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: and being in it is just kind of a different
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: level as far as the players, the parents, the support
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: that you get from the community, the coaching that you've
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: kind of got to bring every day. It's a lot,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: but it's in a good way, if you know what
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I mean. Where Like like you said, in recent years,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: we've we've been able to find a lot of success
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: boys and girls. Boys made their fair sheriff state championships
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: coming up just shorten a few of them, but still
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: not for effort, not for not belonging there. I mean,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: they busted their butt. Just that's the way the coin
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: flip that day and the girls we have to able
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: to pull off a few we just lost. We went
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: to three in a row and lost our third one
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: this past year, So it was it was a tough one.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: It was a devastating one. But uh, there's there's a
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: lot of schools in the state that would that would
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: love to be in the game, and so just the
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: constant success, I mean, it's a it's a high demand,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: but you get to reap the benefits of it at
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the end of the year and it's just awesome to
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: be a part of.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: How many girls Angula do you guys have to come
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: out and try out for the team.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: So we're we're strange dynamic actually because we kind of
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: have a filter of a middle school team and so
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: our high school team, Uh, we don't necessarily get a
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: ton of high school players that come out. We do,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: we do get some, but our big trout is actually
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: to kind of get onto our middle school team, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: so that's where we kind of have a filtering step
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: before we get into that high school team, and we
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: try our best to take it just as serious at
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: those younger ages to kind of set the precedent of, hey,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: this is a prestigious program and we want you to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: be a part of it. But you've got to want
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: to be a part of it. And so we roughly
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: have at a middle school try out, which you deem
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: high school. I'd say around fifty sixty sometimes some years
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: about seventy girls show up and we end up rostering
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: roughly fifty total seventh through twelfth roughly.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's excuse me, that's still that's a lot
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: of kids to have to.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Manage, right, Yeah, man, it's a lot of kids. It's
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: definitely it takes a group effort. Like I said, our
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: parents support is fantastic when it comes to all of
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: our community service, when it comes to our team bonding events,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: our parents step in and take a huge weight of
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: that off the coaches shoulders. They're fantastic throughout the entire year,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: not just the season. A great a great staff we
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: have This year, we've recently lost a middle school coach,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: but we added a new one on named Charlie Cooper,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: and she's done a great job so far. And then
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: my second year returning assistant, Abby Taylor, who's just like
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: taking the bull by the horns, and she has been
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: awesome at manager, helping me manage the players and kind
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: of doing her due diligence with everything that sometimes I
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: forget about, which she's learned. I have a terrible memory.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: But they've been fantastic. So luckily it's not just me
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: managing them. It's a group effort with it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But it does.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, it takes a village for sure. They say
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: it takes a village for just one kid. I mean,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: so actually got fifty of them.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: We're having a conversation with coach Dylon Britt Dalen britxcuse me.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: He is the girl soccers coach here at Northwest Rank
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and Tuesday edition of your radio show. You said you
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: grew up and done in Florence. I did as well.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: We've talked about that off the air, so we're hend Kendrick.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Speirits, Oh yeah, absolutely, I will.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Ask you this on that response on that knowing that
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: did you ever think you would see rankin county? And
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I've been I've been talking about this for weeks. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: know Rod probably gets started to be saying, I am
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: just amazed every school in Ranking County has terf for
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: you kidding me?
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I can't believe it, man, I'll be honest, and it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: all good. I mean, I'm sure there will always be
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a negative nancy out there that's kind of bring up well,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: well this, well that, But I mean it's just awesome.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: It's awesome for the smaller schools to be able to
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: cause it's it's a struggle for them at times, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: manage that grass field to get those games in. You're
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: talking football game, soccer games, like you're talking a lot
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: of sports, big time sports, and so it's it's awesome
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: for them and especially you know, my grassroots over at Florence,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: like that's that's big time for them because they're they're
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: also a very well known soccer school. Yeah, and so
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of these schools very deserving. But then also
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: the it just gives these schools an opportunity that more
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: opportunities to come in the future that they're going to
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: have that they would not have had without a turf field.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So it's good and I'm sure, you know, like some
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: coaches have said, i mean, obviously soccer, you guys are
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: gonna play in the elements, but if you had a heavy,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: heavy rain come through on a soccer day, I mean
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: in the morning. By afternoon, this thing's gonna be drought here.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Did you're gonna be playing?
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, man, it's the funniest story too. We had
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: a semi final a couple of years back that we
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: played Brandon, you know, crosstown rival. It was.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It was it was a big deal. It was a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: good game. We had a good team.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: It was a twenty five year which we went on
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: to win it that year. But in the semi final,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: it was torrential down poor, heaviest rain, cats and dogs,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: whatever saying that you want to say.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: It was. It was bad. It was rough. We were
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: out here, we were in it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: No lightning delayed us, and so we just kept on
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: keeping on and we ended up pulling that one out
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: one oh with about one second left in the game.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: But it was tough.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: But to your point, you know we can get it in. No,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Talk about We've got a couple of minutes here with
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: coach Dale and britt girls soccer's coach here at Northwest.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Frank and Chris Langer will join us in the next

  Speaker 3: segment talking college in the NFL, the growth of soccer
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: just as you've seen it in this state and how
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: big it's got.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Oh man, it's crazy because I get to see from
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: both sides. So I'm also a girls director over at
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Ranking Soccer Club and based out of Brandon, and I
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: coach our two oldest girls age groups over at Rush United,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: which I mean numbers based. We are the biggest club
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: in the state of Mississippi right now. I'm pretty pretty
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: successful with them. We've got a great group from all
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: over the area, all over the state. Honestly, we get
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: girls traveling from Biloxi to Ocean Springs down from Tupelow,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: all over the area. So to that point, it's grown
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: so much, just from from when I was playing. There's
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: always a good and bad with everything, but so far
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: it's been really really good. It's it's becoming a little
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: bit more prominent, and it's been fun to watch since
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: since I was young, you know, because you the with
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: the with soccer growing as a whole, you get better coaches,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: you get more involvement from parents, you get better funding
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: from people that just want to be a part of it.
