  Speaker 1: We talked football in the state of Texas, both from
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the collegiate in high school variety with Greg Tepper, managing
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: editor of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: He might be a young.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Man, but he has an old soul and he has
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: an appreciation for such Texas based music.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Do you not. Yeah, I don't think you can work
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: here without without that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: That's kind of part of the vetting process when you're
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: interviewing with Dave Campbell's Texas Football. Is there just you know,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: ask your general opinion on a lot of Texas artists.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that that that's a that's an
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: important and important part of the Texana ness of being here.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Dave Campbell's all right, So here's another important thing. This
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: is how we know that football is reaching its critical
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mass element when if anybody that goes to the Texas
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Football website at Texas Football dot com and you read
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Corey Hoag's breakdown on tiebreaker scenarios in Division three. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with the with the American Southwest Conference and the Southern
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Athletic Association's that's some pretty intense stuff he's getting into
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: because it actually kind of mirrors what happens in Texas
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: high school football tie breaks.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, and we are getting into that territory
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: now where you know, there's a lot of talk obviously
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: about Texas and A and M and stuff like that,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: but it's important to remember that here Dave Campbell's we
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: cover all forty eight college football teams across the state
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of Texas. So yes, Trinity's big win over Barry this
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: past week was significant. And by the way, if you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: look on Texas Football dot Com and you take a
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: look at our heat in decks where we rank the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: forty eight college football teams in the state of Texas,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you will notice that the number one team is in
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Texas or Texas A and M, or even a team
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: like SMU or even a team like Angelo State. No,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: it's Hardened Simmons. Hardened Simmons is fifteen fourteen to one
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: of their last fifteen games, and the Cowboys are rolling.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, we cover football, you know, stem
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to stern, and I know that Corey Hoague is really
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the tip of the spear when it comes to the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: non FBS side of it, and he's got his hands
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: full this time of year because Texas has got some
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: real good depth of talent outside of the FBS ranks
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and within the FBS ranks.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Talking to football here in the lone Star state with
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Greg Temper, let's keep it in the college room for
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a moment. I say this tongue in cheek. Nobody's done
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a mental health check on Jeff Trailer this week after
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they had a thirty five to seven third quarter lead
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: get away at Tulsan and los forty six to forty five,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and it was forty two seventeen, wasn't it with about
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: six minutes to go in the third quarter.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking about this because one of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the things about Jeff Trailer is that obviously he's done
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: fantastic stuff there at at UTSA, but I would be
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: hard pressed to find the last time he had kind
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: of a losing season as a whole, because you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you go back to even his his high school football
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: days where he was absolutely sensational. I mean, he's forty
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: two and nineteen as a college football head coach. He's
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: never had a losing record at UTSA, And then you
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: go back to his head coaching days when he was
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: at Gilmer, never had a losing record there, and he's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: been coached. He's been a head coach since two thousand,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: obviously a stop at Staff's at Texas and SMU in
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Arkansas before that. But for Jeff Trailer, this is this
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: is un this is territory that he is not trodden
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: down at all, simply because you know, the road Runner
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: are struggling. We wondered what they were gonna look like
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: without Frank Harris. Obviously they're still trying to figure that out.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: But but it was the defense that really let them
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: down this year. But it's just it springs to mind
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: like this is a guy who's not used to losing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: And I would imagine I haven't texted him recently, but
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I would imagine he's not particularly enjoying it in that regard.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I think he probably prefers the whole winning state championships
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and conference championships part of Well.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: He'll certainly be reminded of that next next May when
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: he's inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: That's that's for sure, and well deserved of that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: The keeping this in the states take You called this,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You called this weeks ago. You called this before the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: start of the season. You said, Mike Bloomgren's job was
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: definitely going to be on the line at Rice, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it ended up with Rice making the change. Seven years
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there in charge of the Alice got into a couple
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of bowl games but never had a winning record. That's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that weird dynamic that can happen when because of their academics,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: which is so good, they were able to land Bullberts
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: at five and seven records and then losing the bowl game,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: or even when win still having the the losing record,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and it's.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: That's a tough job. It's just it's just a tough job,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: isn't it. My My my colleague Mike Craven, I think
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: put it really well.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: He said that he raised the floor at Rice, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: he never on the ceiling, which is probably the truth.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, you think BacT David Bailiff was able to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: win conference championships there back in the earlier earlier part
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of the century.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: You know, you can win there.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: But but I would make the argument to you that
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Rice may be the toughest FBS head coaching job in Texas.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: You know, I think people might look at a place
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: like UTEP obviously way out there in West Texas and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: certainly has not been the kind of powerhouse that they
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: would like to be. But I would make the argument
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: to you that at UTEP you are theoretically drawing from
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a larger talent pool than you are at Rice. Because
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: at Rice, because of the academic standards, you are already
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: cutting the number of players that you can recruit by
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: sixty percent, by seventy percent. And then, by the way,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to fend off all the other teams
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: that want to get these guys who are high academic
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: achievers and also happen to be excellent at football.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's a tough it's a tough thing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And and and you know, I like Bloomgrim. He's a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: guy that that we really got to know here at
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Dave Campbell's a guy who I think really ingratiated himself
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: to the tech to Texas culture.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He's not a Texan. I mean, he came folks who
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: don't remember he was.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: He was the offic coordinator at Stanford, which felt like
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: just a real natural fit to go from Stanford to Rice.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I do wonder where they go from here. I I
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: know we've got a job board up on Texas football
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: dot Com of guys who who could be that guy Uh.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: But but I would say that you know, you look for.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, I'm I'm.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I'm of the belief of the the ex girlfriend theory
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: that like when you break up with somebody, you go
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: for somebody exactly the opposite, And so I would look
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: for a defensive minded person with with good Texas ties,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: deep Texas ties, and maybe they've got one on their
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: staff and former North Shore head coach John k uh
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: that's certainly a guy who's who's uh, but who has
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: succeeded at the highest level of Texas high school football
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: before jumping to the Rice staff. We'll see it is
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a new offensive coordinate or a new athletic director there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So I wonder if he's going to want to make
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: his own his his his statement and had put his
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: stamp on the program. So uh, it stinks because because
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: we've gotten a no bloom and we think he's he's
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: a good dude, and I thought he did some really
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: good things at Rice, but playing simple is a hard
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: place to win.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: He didn't do enough of it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I find it interesting on Mike Craven's piece where he
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: breaks it down into the categories of big swing, realistic,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and wildcard. The wildcard he mentioned you were just talking
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: about John k And and you know, I was thinking
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: about John and I thought, if if he doesn't land
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: an opportunity, uh to land on a collegiate staff somewhere.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously there the line of schools, high schools in Texas
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I would love to hire him would be long. Uh,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They'd love to have him back at the high school
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: level if it happens that way. The big swing thing
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Casey Keeler, of course has done a good job at
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at at Sam Houston.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: He's going to have him in a bowl game this year.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And then will Stein, I mean, gosh, I just I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: just remembering will Stein Reese la'zy the offensive corner at
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Lake Travis and now our heres the offensive coordinator for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the number one college football team in the country at Oregon,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and a guy that could be it could be a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: really big boost for them if he's if he feels
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he's ready for his first head coaching job. I mean,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he's he's thirty five, so he would be one of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the younger coaches in college football. But at the same time,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he's already established himself as one of the most the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: most well known and respected minds in offensively. Uh, in
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: college football obviously leading you know Oregon's offense right now.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: We'll see because there may be maybe one of those
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: things where bigger offers may come down the pike for him,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and so would he go to jump to Rice to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: get back to Texas?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That would be something interesting here.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I look at a guy maybe like Tim Beck, not
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: that Tim Beck, the other Tim Beck, uh the first
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: year offensive coordinator Vanderbilt, who could be the guy. He's
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: a guy who's got ties to Vanderbilt because because.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: His his Tommy McCallum, the new athletic director, came from Vanderbilt.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Another guy Vanderbilt ties is Derek Mason if he wants
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: to get back in the head coaching job.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: That's a name to know.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: And then another name to throw out there is Tyler Santucci.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Tyler Santucci is the defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, which
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: obviously high academic standards there. He used to be the
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: co defensive coordinator at Texas A and M, so he's
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: got some ties there. It'll be interesting to see where
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Rice lands, because there's there's a a fit that you
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: have to understand what you're getting into and understand the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the unique nature of the Rice job, and we'll see
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: which direction that Tommy mcclon decides to go.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Talking football in the state of Texas, Greg Tepper from
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Right, let's shift to high school.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I joked the other night when
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I was doing the zoom thing with you guys about
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the line from the Who song you know we won't
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: get fooled again. Meet the new ball, same as the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: old boss. Ah. I think that certainly applies to Northshore
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: finding a way to be a task ASDA off of that,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and then b to get to your state wide rankings.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And looky, looky, look who's back at number one in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the state and five A Division two for you be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: those South Oakliff Golden Bears.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Two losses notwithstanding, yeah, more the more things changed, more
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: they stay the same. And and certainly, you know, you
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: look at north Shore and the Task Asda and it
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: was a heart stopping game, the game the kind of
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: game we anticipated seeing from these two teams. And I
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: might I've been working on this and rolling around in
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: my head. I could be convinced that those are the
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: two best teams in six A this year and therefore
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the two best teams in the state is a Task
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: in north Shore. Uh And it was a fantastic ball
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: game that we may get another time, we may get
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: in a regional final. And remember Northshore has now beaten
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a task ASDA nine times in a row, which is
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: just inconceivable considering how good a task ASDA has been.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, you had five a Division two.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: You know, first of all, a moment for Nederland head
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: coach Scott Rich in his first year there at Nederland
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: has goes and gets the biggest win for Nederland in.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: A decade plus.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, to go on the road to your arch
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: rival and as according to the computer, a twenty one
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: point underdog, to go out there and knock off the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: reigning state champs. I mean, I've never been the most
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I've never been the most popular person in any town.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: So I wonder how Scott Rich feels, because that is,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: he could run for mayor right now his election season
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: and he would win with one hundred percent of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: vote in Nederland right now. But as a result with
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: PNG losing, and certainly there were signs of cracks in
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: that foundation a little bit that I think Nederland did
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: a good job of exposing. Now we'll be up to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Jeff Joseph to make sure that they shore up before
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. But as a result they they tumbled down
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: to number nine and back up to the number one spot.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Is South o'cliff, a team that of course took their
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: lumps early, taking on you know, North Shore and Duncanville before,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: you know for getting things together, But it's one of
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: those North is one of those teams that we kind
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: of forget about for about seven weeks because they're just
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: a lot better than their district. Lbj kind of fits
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: into that category two of a team that, like we
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: paid attention to the non district they again the district
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: play was like okay, we'll see you like the second
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: round of the playoffs. But it's important to note that
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: for both Lbjim and for South Oak Left, they're playing
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: exceptional ball right now and certainly worthy of your attention
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: when the playoff brackets come out in a near.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Ten days or so.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, uh fill in the blank for me on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: this one, shy of state championship week, the biggest threat
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to Duncanville in the postseason would be I would say,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: probably in a semi final matchup with North Crowley that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: probably looks like the biggest threat to them. But I
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: will also say that you know, if you are of THELF,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that Duncanville is a really good team, but not a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: world beater. I think that there are some teams within
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Region two that can give them a challenge. I think
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: if they were to run into a team like Bridgeland,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see what would happen there, because Bridgeland,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I think, can go score for score with them. I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: interested in a team like the Woodlands, which could give
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: them some challenge. But I think that most likely you
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: would probably look at the team to come out of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Region one, likely North Crowley, maybe a team like Allen.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe a team I don't think cup Hell can match
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: up with well with Duncanville, but North Crowley certainly could
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: from a firepower perspective. Outside of a state championship game,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: then yeah, I think for Duncanville, their biggest threat would
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: come in a state semifinal against the winner of Region one,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: probably North Crowley, but maybe Allen.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, now fill in this playing for me.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Without question, the team that poses the biggest threat to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: De Soto in sixth A Division two, regardless of region is.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, I think De Soto faces a significant challenge
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: almost every step of the way, starting essentially in the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: third round. You could have a third round matchup with Willis,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: and I'll tell you that if you think Willis was
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: just DJ Lagway, you should go see what they're doing
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: right now. This is arguably a better, more complete Willis
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: team that they could see Thanksgiving weekend. You follow that
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: up with maybe a matchup with a team like Longview
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: or Spring Westfield, which is not gonna be a pushover.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: And then in a semi final, they could see a
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: team like South Lake Carrol, they could see a team
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: like prosper There are a lot I think there's a
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: lot of land mines for De Soto. And then if
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: they were to make it to another state championship game,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you think they could see a team like Westlake, or
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you think Summer Creek would like another shot at Desto.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I think what happened last year where they got they
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: got demolished in front of a national audience. Oh yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Summer Creek, which has looked exceptional oh year long, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: took a task see into the wire they would love
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: an other shot at the Soto. So I think the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Division two bracket actually after kind of very desperately from
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: last year where the sixth A Division two felt like
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: they're real, Like, okay, it's kind of the Soto or
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: versus the field. I think Division two has a chance
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: to be the more entertaining six A bracket simply because
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: of the challengers to the Soto team that is still
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: very good and certainly worthy of being the team to beat,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: but I think is gettable when the playoffs roll around.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: All right, let me throw some games at you, and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you pick one, and you tell me which one that
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you would most like to be at. You could choose
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: between Lancaster Waksatchi, you could choose between College Station and Weiss,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: or you could have Graham Brock.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: What would you do?
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: It's probably oh man, I'll tell you what what I
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: would probably do is do the the the double dip,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: because I believe College Station Weiss is on the Thursday
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: night of the field, so I might go there first
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: because I'm really interested in this game, because uh, this
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: is for a home playoff game. Assuming game of consolidated
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: wins that district. The winner of this game gets a
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: home playoff game. And for Weiss, the growth of Jackson Shadd,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: their freshman quarterback, is remarkable. It's important to remember that
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: we thought like Weiss had a chance to be really
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: good until their senior quarterback got hurt in the in
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the in the scrimmage.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And we were like, okay, well nice year, wis sorry.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Instead, Jackson Chad has really taken the reins and played
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: exceptionally well. Going up against the college station team that
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: has looked to the part basically outside of a rivalry,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: lost to a consolidated of a of one of the
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: teams to be huge game there. But then I think
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: it's Graham and Brock is the answer to the question
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: simply because this is a brought for Brock there.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: This is their big test as a four A program.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Uh And this is also the number one versus number
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: two scoring defenses in for A Division two. Graham's the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: number one scoring defense in four Division two. Brock is
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the number two scoring defense. These two teams are going
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: to lay the lumber at one another. It is going
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: to be physical, It's going to be a great atmosphere
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: there at newton Field and Graham. I'm really interested in
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: seeing if Brock can pass this next big test for
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: them after passing all their tests so far with flying colors.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: This is there.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: This is the game we've had circled as like, all right,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: we'll find out what a four A Brock really looks
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: like starting this week, no.
• 17:28

  Speaker 1: shift the balance of who goes Division one and Division two,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: whether Westlake goes Division one or Division two, and the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: same thing might happen in twenty five six A as well.
