  ball was gonna come to me, and you know, I got a release
• 0:51
  off on the dude and Lucky Taekwon was able to throw a good ball to
• 0:54
  me back shoulder and I just had to secure it and that's what I did,
• 0:57
  man, And I ain't never gonna forget that moment. Spurs one.
• 1:00
  That was not an easy catch, by the way it was. It was
• 1:03
  from where I broadcast it was cross the field quite a ways away. That
• 1:07
  was an excellent catch because there was a lot of distracts going on. dB
• 1:11
  had you covered pretty well. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was
• 1:15
  a great Like I said, man, it was a great ball back shoulder.
• 1:17
  It was just a matter of you know, trying to focus focus the
• 1:19
  ball in and tucket and just make sure it's protected before before I got out.
• 1:23
  But man, it is. That's definitely. That was definitely a memorable
• 1:26
  moment for sure. And to get back in the win column. I know
• 1:29
  you guys were thirsty for a victory, hungry for a victory. You've been
• 1:33
  so close, you know, week after week. Obviously you had so many
• 1:37
  chances to get back in that locker room and celebrate something. What was that
• 1:41
  like? Man? It felt good man, just to you know, leave
• 1:46
  with a win, you know, knowing that we got what we worked for

  and we got what we deserved. But you know, we we were definitely
• 1:52
  looking forward to getting another win next week for sure. You know. Yeah,
• 1:56
  when you win, you get even hungrier. I'm assuming you want to
• 2:00
  finish. I know you gotta you gotta rival from New England. Is that
• 2:04
  the thought process going in? Yeah, definitely, man, it's like a
• 2:07
  rival game coming up, and you know, we want to finish off the
• 2:09
  season, right, do you know the right way? You definitely trying to
• 2:13
  finish off the season with a win. So yeah, you know, we
• 2:15
  just we just were just gonna strive to get this win. Man. That's
• 2:17
  all we think about is the next day and the next game and the next
• 2:21
  win. Pretty much a couple of years ago, you weren't here yet yu
• 2:24
  Khon went up there. You mass had this long losing streak and they snapped
• 2:29
  it by beating Yukon. They stormed the field, they were celebrating all over
• 2:34
  the place. I'll tell you what that that turned my stomach. I was
• 2:38
  not happy that day, and I don't know the team was not happy.
• 2:40
  So to prevent that happening, Well, what are you guys going to do
• 2:44
  here on Saturday? Dang? Well you said that was on our way here.
• 2:49
  Yeah, I don't think you were there that. It was a couple
• 2:50
  of years ago, wasn't he You want you want to answer the question,
• 2:57
  because I was. I wasn't here to really you know, like, uh
• 3:01
  experienced that. But you know, we just we just plan on, you
• 3:06
  know, planing planout game and you know, be a physical and winning man.
• 3:08
  That's that's that's pretty much. That's pretty much it. Kylie Shicks is
• 3:12
  with us, the wide receiver out of Pikesville, Maryland. He's a Baltimore
• 3:15
  guy. Went to uh Morgenthaler Tech in Baltimore. You want to State championship
• 3:21
  there as a as a defensive back, and I was looking at that championship
• 3:25
  game. You had four interceptions in that game. Nobody got four interceptions in
• 3:30
  any game. That must have been one heck of experience. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:34
  it definitely was. That was another another memorable moment. And going out
• 3:38
  of High Spital that way was was definitely good and exciting. Yeah, you
• 3:44
  being from Baltimore, We're gonna talk a little NFL here for a second.
• 3:47
  A lot of Giants fans softering up here in Connecticut. You have the Ravens
• 3:53
  down there. Are you as diehard a raven fan as as those guys?
• 3:58
  Tell me? Yes, yes, been. I've been a Ravens fan since
• 4:00
  I was little man? Uh Man. Ray lewis a you know right now,
• 4:04
  right now we're working with LJ. I definitely think that we're going on
• 4:08
  to see what bo Marble words. So hopefully hopefully we hopefully we can.
• 4:13
  And yeah, but yeah, I've been a Ravens fan all my life,
• 4:15
  all my life, man, So yeah, you gotta. If you come
• 4:17
  from Baltimore, you make that switch defense when you came to college. How
• 4:24
  did that happen? When did you decide or did coach Morris say, hey,
• 4:28
  get over catch some balls. So so when I committed, I was
• 4:31
  I was recruited by More and he wanted me at receiver first. Uh,
• 4:35
  he just he pretty much told me like, because if I had told him
• 4:39
  that I that's what I wanted to play. He originally told me like,
• 4:42
  man, I'm gonna let you rock out at receiver, you know, but
• 4:44
  if if things don't go as planned, then you might have to switch the
• 4:46
  DV. And I came here and I just worked my butt off at receiver,
• 4:49
  and you know, that's that's where we're at right now. So you
• 4:53
  know, Yeah, Coach has been talking about you on the on the Coaches
• 4:57
  Show pretty much every week the last few weeks, wanting to get you more
• 5:00
  opportunities out there. Do you feel like you're now comfortable as as a wide
• 5:04
  receiver on the college level now that you've had some chances to be out there.
• 5:10
  Yeah, Yeah, I'm definitely way more comfortable. With the first couple
• 5:13
  of games I got thrown in. You know, I was a little nervous,
• 5:15
  but you know, that's what comes with the game. But I'm definitely
• 5:17
  more comfortable now, especially coming off that touchdown from last game. But you
• 5:23
  know, it's just a matter of you know, just staying comfortable and stand
• 5:26
  in that area so I can play my game. Yeah, having take Von
• 5:29
  Roberson, you know, with you now over the last several games, there's
• 5:32
  also a comfort level with quarterbacks and wide receivers. Tell me about that.
• 5:36
  How do you actually establish that tempo and that timing and that feeling for what
• 5:42
  your quarterback's trying to do. It's really a lot of a lot of work,
• 5:46
  you know, during during the offseason, you know, throwing with the
• 5:48
  receivers and you know, getting footwork in with the cues and just trying to
• 5:53
  like build that connection between all of us, you know, so you know
• 5:56
  when anybody time comes on the receiver side, that you know, they'll have
• 6:00
  an experience with Taekwon or experience or whatever. But we work we work together
• 6:03
  a lot, like like off the scenes, you know, on the field,
• 6:09
  So that's how we create that connection kind of. Yeah, there's something
• 6:12
  about scoring through the air, isn't there. You guys had four touchdown passes
• 6:15
  last week. I mean that's not only exciting, but that really provides a
• 6:18
  boost for the for the defense and momentum for the whole team, doesn't it.
• 6:23
  Yeah? No, for sure. For sure. When you're out there
• 6:28
  and you're you're getting your chances, running patterns, et cetera, are you
• 6:32
  thinking where you're making a cut, wearing the balls coming to you, how
• 6:35
  much of it is a timing thing for you as a wide receiver. It's
• 6:41
  big and you know, the steps are big, you know, the depth
• 6:45
  of the route is big. But it's just a matter of you know,
• 6:46
  just doing your job as fast as possible and just hoping that you know,
• 6:49
  tekwonk can get the ball there pretty much, you know, and speed?
• 6:54
  Is that the what's the best element of your game right now? My game?
• 6:58
  I would say, I would say my ability to you know, go
• 7:00
  up and attack the ball while it's in the air. You know. I
• 7:03
  feel like it's a lot of things that I got to work on, but
• 7:05
  I think like this like the top tier part, you know, just me
• 7:08
  being able to go up and attack the ball when it's in the air.
• 7:11
  You know, when I went the ball in the air, I just feel
• 7:13
  like it's mine, like it ain't nobody else's. I'm going to go get
• 7:15
  it, you know. Yeah, I got you all right, Kylie Shicks.
• 7:17
  We appreciate you. Uh, Worthampton, go get another win, that's
• 7:21
  important. Appreciate it back with more of the Yukon Football Coaches Show on lear Field
