Transcript
- 0:15Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show. I am
- 0:17Speaker 1: John Hoff joined by Roman Bishop. Thank you so much
- 0:20Speaker 1: for joining us. As always, we had a pretty entertaining
- 0:23Speaker 1: Week three of football and we're already a third of
- 0:26Speaker 1: the way done. So what did your immediate takeaways so
- 0:30Speaker 1: far from what you saw?
- 0:31Speaker 2: Well, let's not say a third of the way down
- 0:33Speaker 2: because it makes me think of the regular season. The
- 0:35Speaker 2: regular season, yeah, but of the whole year. We're about
- 0:37Speaker 2: a fifth of the way there are. Let's not get
- 0:39Speaker 2: too excited yet, but we did have a really insane
- 0:42Speaker 2: week of games. A lot of close finishes, a lot
- 0:46Speaker 2: of close finishes. I mean, look at our top fifteen
- 0:48Speaker 2: games the week. We had one, two, three, four, I
- 0:54Speaker 2: think six one score games our top fifteen games. A
- 0:58Speaker 2: lot of exciting ones to watch, some surprising outcomes for sure,
- 1:02Speaker 2: but a lot of interesting games to talk about. I
- 1:05Speaker 2: don't know if you want to talk about the EAS
- 1:06Speaker 2: Sint Louis game first, but that was the Yeah, I
- 1:08Speaker 2: guess you could say the most attention getting matchup we had.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Of the week.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just it wasn't really that dramatic as far
- 1:15Speaker 1: as the game goes, But yeah, Eas St Louis fell
- 1:18Speaker 1: to Bush Gorman thirty five to ten. Kind of expected
- 1:20Speaker 1: to be honest. You know, you're going to one of
- 1:23Speaker 1: the best programs. You're on on the road to one
- 1:25Speaker 1: of the best programs in the country, and you know
- 1:28Speaker 1: it's Bishop Gorman's got a you know, it's.
- 1:30Speaker 3: A hostile place to play.
- 1:31Speaker 1: They got a lot of fans there, so it's, uh,
- 1:34Speaker 1: it was always gonna be an uphill bell for the Flyers,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, it seems like Bishop Gorman they didn't
- 1:41Speaker 1: have like a great running game going into it, but
- 1:44Speaker 1: they had a really good passing attack and their quarterback
- 1:46Speaker 1: is really good and obviously.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Interesting.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Okay, so I don't know exactly all what you know,
- 1:53Speaker 1: particularly what all the scoring plays were like, but it
- 1:57Speaker 1: seems like Bishop got got out on them pretty early
- 2:00Speaker 1: and we're just on top of the whole way.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bishop Gorman has this receiver. His name is
- 2:06Speaker 2: siron Mentim I guess is his name. He had two
- 2:09Speaker 2: touchdowns three touchdowns in the game, one of which was
- 2:11Speaker 2: a ninety four yard kicker off fer a touchdown to
- 2:15Speaker 2: make it fourteenth three. So, you know, easting Lewis defense
- 2:19Speaker 2: had been doing pretty good and they're the Flowers are
- 2:21Speaker 2: able to get a field goals about three and a
- 2:22Speaker 2: half minutes left in the first half. H so, you know,
- 2:26Speaker 2: seven three, Okay, hopefully you can go get another stop
- 2:28Speaker 2: going to the locker room down by four points, that's a
- 2:30Speaker 2: pretty good first half.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Yeah, but then the.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Gale has got a kick return touchdown by Mentor and
- 2:38Speaker 2: that was just as Bread's brutal. I mean, to go
- 2:41Speaker 2: in to locker room fourteen three, that's gotta be tough.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And then h yeah, Bishop Gorman is just they're they're amazing.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I mean, East Lewis is amazing, but Bishop Gorman's on
- 2:51Speaker 2: a whole nother level. And unfortunately the Flyers still winless
- 2:56Speaker 2: because they had to have their game a couple weeks
- 2:58Speaker 2: ago canceled.
- 3:00Speaker 1: But but I wonder if that they're going to get
- 3:02Speaker 1: a win out of that though, because like AD's some
- 3:04Speaker 1: kind of the reason was the reason why they canceled.
- 3:06Speaker 2: It, So at least on the S two high school sports,
- 3:09Speaker 2: it doesn't give them a forfeit win. I guess it
- 3:12Speaker 2: was just the game itself got canceled, so neither team
- 3:15Speaker 2: gets a win or loss there, which is interesting, I guess.
- 3:18Speaker 2: But easting Lewis does start their conference slate this week
- 3:22Speaker 2: this week against Alton, so they should definitely win that one.
- 3:26Speaker 2: But nothing against Dalton, but easting Lewis is miles ahead
- 3:29Speaker 2: of the Redbirds right.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Now, so absolutely so. All right, next up, let's talk
- 3:37Speaker 1: about Slewett de Smet.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Uh.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Probably the most surprising outcome of the weekend.
- 3:41Speaker 3: I don't think it really was.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was getting messages from people
- 3:45Speaker 1: and you know, nobody was really you know, dogging on
- 3:49Speaker 1: us picking the Smet, But it was just like, hey,
- 3:52Speaker 1: I think I I think it was finally gonna win here,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Like they just are really good and they were. They
- 3:58Speaker 1: were really the best team from the junt got out
- 4:01Speaker 1: to a fourteen to nothing lead. De Smett came back
- 4:03Speaker 1: and tied it at fourteen to fourteen, and then one
- 4:08Speaker 1: of the biggest plays of the game, maybe the biggest
- 4:10Speaker 1: play of the game, was a really nice catch from
- 4:12Speaker 1: Will Shulty kind of how you describe it as a
- 4:16Speaker 1: moss catch, and it was with you caught it with
- 4:21Speaker 1: two seconds to go, with nice pass from Karon lb
- 4:25Speaker 1: and it put slew in field goal range and they
- 4:26Speaker 1: kicked a field goal at the end a half time
- 4:28Speaker 1: to make it seventeen fourteen, and they would end up
- 4:32Speaker 1: scoring two more touchdowns and that was that was the
- 4:35Speaker 1: game right there.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Keenan Harris with three touchdowns all.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Out of the Wildcat rushing touchdowns they smet never really
- 4:43Speaker 1: had an answer for that, and and then Slew's defense
- 4:46Speaker 1: was just really good. You know, gave up some gave
- 4:50Speaker 1: up some big plays, but in the second half they
- 4:52Speaker 1: really buckled down and shout out the Spartans, including.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Two really big goal line stands in third and fourth.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Quarters to keep them at bay and keep that lead intact.
- 5:05Speaker 2: There were a couple predictions that I got really wrong
- 5:09Speaker 2: in last week's episode, one of which we'll talk about later.
- 5:13Speaker 2: But the first one was I said that Kyra and
- 5:15Speaker 2: Albo would need to be more efficient with his throws
- 5:18Speaker 2: for Slew Hiw to get ahead in this one, and
- 5:21Speaker 2: that ended up not being true. He was eleven of
- 5:23Speaker 2: twenty three with one hundred and fifty two yards, zero touchdowns,
- 5:26Speaker 2: and zero interceptions, and Slew high wins by seventeen points.
- 5:31Speaker 1: It's not the most efficient stat line, but what it
- 5:34Speaker 1: really was. But he made some big throws and then
- 5:36Speaker 1: there was a few other incompletions that were past interferences
- 5:40Speaker 1: on De Smet, but no, but he had no turnovers
- 5:43Speaker 1: and which is huge, and a lot of his throws
- 5:47Speaker 1: were just kind of kind of fifty fifty fifty balls,
- 5:50Speaker 1: so to speak. But it was really Slew's ground game
- 5:55Speaker 1: that moved the ball for them, and they were able
- 5:58Speaker 1: to establish a good run attack early on and kind
- 6:01Speaker 1: of lived and died by that. And it also set
- 6:03Speaker 1: up some simple passing routes and like for some curl
- 6:07Speaker 1: routes and some short passes that went for some good
- 6:10Speaker 1: yards from LB. So he's really good at hitting those
- 6:13Speaker 1: simple passes there, which is, you know, kind of an
- 6:15Speaker 1: underrated trade for a quarterback. You need to just get
- 6:18Speaker 1: a good release and getting the ball out quick there.
- 6:20Speaker 3: So yeah, and then De Smet did a better job
- 6:23Speaker 3: of adjusting that.
- 6:24Speaker 1: They Jordan Taylor had a really good start to the game,
- 6:27Speaker 1: wasn't as effective later on, just because I just meant
- 6:29Speaker 1: did a nice job of kind of limiting him after that.
- 6:31Speaker 1: He's still finished with a pretty good game overall, though.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Jordan Taylor, he had one touchdown run. Slew's offensive line
- 6:38Speaker 1: is the best I've I've ever seen from them.
- 6:40Speaker 2: I was just about to say it's that. That's the
- 6:42Speaker 2: reason they won this game is because they could actually
- 6:44Speaker 2: establish a good rushing attack. And yeah, for the first time,
- 6:48Speaker 2: maybe since we started this podcast, slew High has an
- 6:51Speaker 2: offensive line that is legitimately good enough to lead the
- 6:54Speaker 2: team to win the mcc It's gonna be tough for
- 6:57Speaker 2: them to beat CBC. That game isn't for a few weeks.
- 7:00Speaker 2: But this offensive line is legit and they got some
- 7:04Speaker 2: guys like Kyron's brother Kayden will Be Albert Weinberg also
- 7:08Speaker 2: at tackle, but are really good for him. And they
- 7:10Speaker 2: were able to lead the Junior Bills to fifty two
- 7:13Speaker 2: carries on the day for two hundred and ninety three
- 7:15Speaker 2: rushing yards, which leads them to over five and a
- 7:17Speaker 2: half yards per carry. That's incredible, especially against a decent
- 7:22Speaker 2: I mean it's not it's I gotta be honest here.
- 7:25Speaker 2: The de Smett defensive line isn't as good as it
- 7:28Speaker 2: was last year or previous years, but still a very
- 7:30Speaker 2: very good defensive line in defensive front seven.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think against a lot of teams, SLEU
- 7:34Speaker 1: would have gotten a lot more yards. Yes, because Smith
- 7:38Speaker 1: did a good job of eventually kind of like limiting
- 7:42Speaker 1: it to the point where like, Okay, this is not
- 7:44Speaker 1: how you're gonna beat us. But Sleugh's still definitely got
- 7:47Speaker 1: some decent chunk plays as the game went on every
- 7:49Speaker 1: once in a while.
- 7:50Speaker 3: So yeah, it was you know, I.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Still liked like Titan Davis had a nice game. He
- 7:56Speaker 1: had a pretty good sequence when he had like he
- 7:58Speaker 1: had like a tackle for a loss in two plays
- 8:00Speaker 1: later a sack, So I thought he had a you know,
- 8:03Speaker 1: a good game up front.
- 8:04Speaker 3: He had nine tackles and a sack right there.
- 8:07Speaker 1: But yeah, just they throw, they throw a lot at
- 8:11Speaker 1: a lot of different things at you. I mean, they
- 8:12Speaker 1: can you know, they can pass, they can run, run
- 8:16Speaker 1: very well too, so and that's that's kind of in
- 8:20Speaker 1: a way, it was kind of a statement when that
- 8:21Speaker 1: they were able to do that against as still a
- 8:24Speaker 1: pretty good team, not not not as good as last
- 8:27Speaker 1: few years, honestly, just look looking at what they were doing.
- 8:30Speaker 1: But uh but yeah, but then the Slew's defense really
- 8:34Speaker 1: locked in. They just had a few bad possessions in
- 8:38Speaker 1: the first half, but other than that, we're pretty good
- 8:40Speaker 1: for the most part. Got some sacks on gab Rodriguez
- 8:44Speaker 1: and then Kennilli Kennall mc nutt had a really big
- 8:47Speaker 1: interception in the second half that ultimately set up a
- 8:51Speaker 1: scoring drive for them and in dispt territory, and yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 1: that was that was one of the other bigger plays
- 8:58Speaker 1: of the game too, because it was I.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Think twenty one.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I think it was twenty four to fourteen at that point,
- 9:06Speaker 1: so it was still it's still a two score game
- 9:09Speaker 1: at that time.
- 9:10Speaker 3: But yeah, it was kind of a backbreaker there.
- 9:12Speaker 1: So Spent also had a few personal foul penalties and
- 9:16Speaker 1: one player got ejected, so they gotta they got to
- 9:19Speaker 1: work on that too, just just kind of keeping them
- 9:22Speaker 1: keeping their heads for the most part. But I mean,
- 9:25Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a pretty emotional game, you know.
- 9:28Speaker 1: I Mean, there's a lot of tradition with these two programs,
- 9:32Speaker 1: and the players I think easily get wrapped up in that,
- 9:35Speaker 1: you know, And so it's a there's a lot of
- 9:37Speaker 1: there's a lot of pride on the line from alums
- 9:39Speaker 1: and to the players and pressure and without a doubt,
- 9:43Speaker 1: Adam Cruz's biggest win as a slew head coach.
- 9:45Speaker 3: He's been there. This is his fourth year, and.
- 9:48Speaker 1: You know, but he's really, uh it seems like he's
- 9:51Speaker 1: really got things going now for them too.
- 9:53Speaker 3: I mean this is this is a really good team.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I mean this is they got.
- 9:55Speaker 1: You know, Keen Harris is an incredible player for SLEW
- 9:59Speaker 1: and H, but they got a lot of other really
- 10:01Speaker 1: good pieces around and role players that are the reason
- 10:05Speaker 1: why they were one of the best teams in the
- 10:06Speaker 1: area now, you know, and they've had a lot of hype.
- 10:09Speaker 1: They've had a lot of hype going in the previous
- 10:10Speaker 1: seasons and just haven't lived up to it. But so
- 10:12Speaker 1: far they they have well.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Slu hives had some great athletes come through the past decade,
- 10:17Speaker 2: Ryan Wingo, Kellen Porter to name a couple. They've just
- 10:21Speaker 2: never really had that whole squad. They've never really had
- 10:23Speaker 2: that offensive line, I should say.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I think that's yeah.
- 10:25Speaker 1: And then and their lines have always had size too,
- 10:28Speaker 1: but just for whatever reason, not been able to work
- 10:30Speaker 1: it out and h But I think Jordan Taylor, he's
- 10:33Speaker 1: their best running back since Kellen Porter as well. Yeah,
- 10:36Speaker 1: he he really looks the part of a D one
- 10:38Speaker 1: running back. I mean he's he was hard to bring
- 10:39Speaker 1: down and he was always fighting for extra yards whenever
- 10:42Speaker 1: he was getting hit, you know, hit it first on
- 10:45Speaker 1: contact and so he made de Smet kind of earn
- 10:48Speaker 1: every every tackle.
- 10:49Speaker 3: On him there too, And yeah.
- 10:52Speaker 2: And looking at their schedule coming up, they got Loufen
- 10:55Speaker 2: St Charles who is kind of on Live Sport right now,
- 10:58Speaker 2: so they should win that game live for life. That's
- 11:00Speaker 2: gonna be a tough one. That's gonna be a tough game.
- 11:02Speaker 2: But I would give the Junior Bills the advantage in
- 11:05Speaker 2: that one.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And.
- 11:07Speaker 2: They got Vianni and Shamanad, so they should be seven
- 11:13Speaker 2: and oh going into Week eight when they play CBC.
- 11:16Speaker 2: If we can get a seven and oh CBC vers
- 11:18Speaker 2: a seven of those high and that's that slew high,
- 11:22Speaker 2: that could be the biggest game as High in decades.
- 11:25Speaker 1: That would be their biggest game since they lost to
- 11:27Speaker 1: CBC in the State in the States semi finals in
- 11:29Speaker 1: twenty eleven.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Come on, Jinger Bells, we're rooting for you. I mean,
- 11:35Speaker 2: that's true. I know, well, you know, I'm an employee
- 11:40Speaker 2: of Saint Louis University.
- 11:42Speaker 3: That's not the game thing.
- 11:43Speaker 2: That's not the same thing at all. But you know,
- 11:45Speaker 2: it's kind of funny, but you're like, we're not you know,
- 11:48Speaker 2: we don't really root for certain teams over others. Here,
- 11:51Speaker 2: but it is cool to see some teams that haven't
- 11:54Speaker 2: quite hit the mark recently get there.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Sure, we just saw this met winn SA Championship.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Like, it's not like we're gonna, you know, for them
- 12:03Speaker 2: to win every single game. It's just it'd be cool
- 12:05Speaker 2: to see different singles area teams have success. Yeah, that's
- 12:08Speaker 2: kind of what I'm going for here. So yeah, cool
- 12:10Speaker 2: to see high. I mean, it was this is the
- 12:12Speaker 2: first time they'd beat de Smet since twenty seventeen, I
- 12:14Speaker 2: think is what it was. Yeah, I believe so twenty seventeen.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Yep.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's you know, and so there's never really
- 12:20Speaker 1: been that great since we've started GSV in twenty sixteen.
- 12:24Speaker 2: They've always been good, not great.
- 12:26Speaker 1: That Yeah, that's a good way putting it there. Yeah,
- 12:29Speaker 1: they've there was a few years and like eighteen they
- 12:32Speaker 1: were bad. Yeah, but yeah, they slowly got better after
- 12:36Speaker 1: that and then kind of stalling out a little bit
- 12:40Speaker 1: just being just being all right, you know, And now
- 12:43Speaker 1: this year they've made a big jump. So uh, yeah,
- 12:46Speaker 1: a huge program win for them over to SMET. So uh,
- 12:50Speaker 1: let's talk about another big game between Lafayette and Kirkwood
- 12:53Speaker 1: where the Lancers, led by Kurt Mueller, their head coach,
- 12:57Speaker 1: who was an assistant coach at Kirkwood for five years,
- 13:00Speaker 1: came out with a thirty five to twenty eight victory.
- 13:03Speaker 1: That's second year in a row Loafayettes beating Kirkwood two
- 13:06Speaker 1: really good games back to back. Lnswers come out came
- 13:08Speaker 1: out on top of both of them.
- 13:11Speaker 3: It was a really it was a back and forth
- 13:13Speaker 3: game the whole way.
- 13:14Speaker 1: But then Brady Meesk got a short touchdown run to
- 13:19Speaker 1: make it twenty eight twenty one, and then the biggest
- 13:21Speaker 1: play of the game, as it turned out, was a
- 13:23Speaker 1: bad snap by Kirkwood and it was falling on in
- 13:26Speaker 1: the end zone for a touchdown by Lafayette to get that.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I think it was the only time all game long
- 13:32Speaker 1: that it was a two score game and it was
- 13:34Speaker 1: laid on and that was a difference Kirkwood. They were
- 13:36Speaker 1: able to regroup and get a touchdown, but then weren't
- 13:39Speaker 1: able to get the on side kick, and that was
- 13:41Speaker 1: the game right there.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Man, your heart's got to go out to that center.
- 13:45Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's tough break. I me know, that's
- 13:49Speaker 2: you hate it. I mean, it's one of the one
- 13:52Speaker 2: of the hardest things to be is a parent of
- 13:55Speaker 2: a football center, because every play it could go disastrously
- 13:59Speaker 2: wrong because your son screwed up.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Unfortunately that that timing could not have been worse for
- 14:06Speaker 2: the Pioneers, as Baron James jumped on that bad snap
- 14:10Speaker 2: of the end zone for a touchdown with only three
- 14:12Speaker 2: and a half to go. It's that kind of put
- 14:16Speaker 2: it a little bit out of reach, you could say.
- 14:18Speaker 2: And the story of this game, I think is a
- 14:20Speaker 2: Lafayette was really just able to use everybody to get
- 14:23Speaker 2: it done. We were used to some impressive Trance Bill
- 14:28Speaker 2: stat lines and some insane bringing me sex stat lines,
- 14:31Speaker 2: but there was nothing really crazy offensively for the Lancers.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Not a single player had over one hundred rushing and
- 14:38Speaker 2: receiving yards, which is interesting, but everyone contributed. They had
- 14:43Speaker 2: let's see, they had.
- 14:44Speaker 1: All three of the all four of their receivers had
- 14:46Speaker 1: over three receptions.
- 14:47Speaker 2: They had what is this, five different guys with over
- 14:51Speaker 2: twenty five yards in the game. So they had trans
- 14:55Speaker 2: Bill's Cody Keene, Carson Ross, Zachary Toobin, and Tim Washington
- 14:58Speaker 2: all putting in rushes and catches for them, and Mesa
- 15:02Speaker 2: had a good game Sofia had seventeen completions for two
- 15:04Speaker 2: or three eight yards, two touchdowns, one interception, so.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Rushed for sixteen carries on its sixty eight yards.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yeah, so just the overall solid game for the Lancers.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Kirkwood does not have their stats and unfortunately, but yeah,
- 15:18Speaker 2: Lafayette is off to a hot start or three. No,
- 15:21Speaker 2: this is that this was their first real test because
- 15:24Speaker 2: they had they had come off what we thought would
- 15:27Speaker 2: be a decent test a week one, get stuck with North,
- 15:29Speaker 2: but the Vikings kind of laying an egg in that one,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and Lafayette's got the central coming up, so that should
- 15:36Speaker 2: that's that's winnable game. And then Pattinville, Yes, sad Mills decent, but.
- 15:41Speaker 3: It was better than the last few years.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Yes, but Paddill is decent.
- 15:44Speaker 3: And then the way their.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Schedules kind of lined up now like with some of
- 15:48Speaker 1: the other results, because like you got Lindberg and Marquett
- 15:51Speaker 1: are both Owen three, Like those.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Are two those are games.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Those are games the last few years that you'd be
- 15:55Speaker 1: really kind of prepping for. But yeah, it's those teams
- 15:59Speaker 1: are some pretty bad starts. But then it really looks
- 16:03Speaker 1: like Eureka is their only, you know, last big test,
- 16:06Speaker 1: and obviously they're gonna say we're looking at every game
- 16:09Speaker 1: made equally, but you know, it's.
- 16:12Speaker 3: That we get their season.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I mean, they should go at least eight and one
- 16:16Speaker 1: at this point, and I mean that one loss would
- 16:18Speaker 1: probably most likely potentially beat the Eureka. But Lafayette, I mean,
- 16:23Speaker 1: they there's a really good shot that they were gonna
- 16:25Speaker 1: go nine to zero.
- 16:27Speaker 2: It could. I mean, Eureka's solid, but I wouldn't say
- 16:30Speaker 2: as they've been as dominant upfront as they have in
- 16:34Speaker 2: previous years, right and with Kirkwood, this one's tough. But
- 16:39Speaker 2: you know, the rest of their schedule is actually very
- 16:41Speaker 2: similar to the rest of lafaytte schedule, and they both
- 16:44Speaker 2: play Dureka and Marquette. Kirk has already played Paddonville.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Lafayette's had back to back.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Eight and one regular seasons, and there are certainly on
- 16:55Speaker 1: pace to at least match that.
- 16:56Speaker 2: If not seriously, that's that's pretty impressive by Lancer and Kirkwood.
- 17:01Speaker 2: They could very well finish seven to one. I mean,
- 17:03Speaker 2: I honestly expect them to mean that the Eureka game
- 17:07Speaker 2: could be interesting.
- 17:09Speaker 3: I mean, I think it will be.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Well, we'll predict that game when we get there in
- 17:13Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. But Kirkwood I think can get
- 17:17Speaker 2: back on track pretty well. I mean they defensively. I
- 17:20Speaker 2: would assume one of our goals was to contain Trance
- 17:23Speaker 2: build the stat line somehow, which they did, but they
- 17:26Speaker 2: will only looking away with the win.
- 17:27Speaker 1: So well, now it's also like you got to contain him,
- 17:30Speaker 1: but then you also got to contain.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Me, sek you can, he can hurt you with his
- 17:34Speaker 3: legs in his arm yep.
- 17:36Speaker 2: So Kirkland's defense has been very good so far. I
- 17:41Speaker 2: mean they held him well west of three points.
- 17:43Speaker 3: That's probably gonna be their toughest matchup this season.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and I trust the Pioneers. They have a great
- 17:50Speaker 2: coaching staff. They should able to get back on track
- 17:51Speaker 2: and threaten to win a district, potentially in class six five.
- 17:57Speaker 2: It's right, I forgot kirk was down in Class five
- 17:59Speaker 2: this year. I forgot about that.
- 18:01Speaker 1: So imagine how Lafia feels being Class six with CBC
- 18:04Speaker 1: and SLEW.
- 18:05Speaker 2: That's right, Oh my gosh, oh man.
- 18:08Speaker 1: You know, and I will say this, I think's got
- 18:11Speaker 1: a pretty good chance. If I think they have a
- 18:13Speaker 1: pretty good chance against like either slew In de SMET
- 18:16Speaker 1: at this point.
- 18:17Speaker 2: At this point, I don't know with the Missouri Class
- 18:22Speaker 2: six rankings.
- 18:23Speaker 3: If they were to go up against each.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Other, Lafayette CBC and Slew High are all top twelve
- 18:29Speaker 2: Class six teams.
- 18:31Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, and this smet's probably not a
- 18:34Speaker 3: top twelve.
- 18:35Speaker 2: This smet's probably knocking on the door.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Now they've kind of well, they've got that, they've regressed.
- 18:39Speaker 3: But yes, what I'm.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Saying is like, we got three teams in the top
- 18:43Speaker 2: twelve of the state all in one district. It's like, man, that's.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Just yeah, come on now, it's not a good look.
- 18:48Speaker 2: It's not a good look. It's not a good look.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Okay.
- 18:52Speaker 2: I can only go so long without bringing up this game.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Yes I said this on Friday Nights Gay with the
- 19:00Speaker 2: Century as a as a bold claim, but game of
- 19:04Speaker 2: the century Zumoll North defeats them all West twenty seven twenty.
- 19:08Speaker 1: One North versus Battle and won the field goal in
- 19:11Speaker 1: the semi finals.
- 19:12Speaker 2: That was also a game of the century. You can
- 19:14Speaker 2: have multile games of the century.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Okay, your rules mine, you could have you could have
- 19:19Speaker 1: a few, but that's an all times North moment.
- 19:22Speaker 2: No, it was that that was that was that was
- 19:25Speaker 2: the best Small North win ever. Was that sure walk
- 19:27Speaker 2: off field goal against Battle. This is my finals back
- 19:29Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. That was insane. I was actually at
- 19:31Speaker 2: that game. That was unbelievable environment at a North But
- 19:36Speaker 2: this was also a crazy environment too. They were getting
- 19:39Speaker 2: loud on the north side. North wins the Battle of
- 19:42Speaker 2: the found by six. This was about as back and
- 19:45Speaker 2: forth as you can get. So, oh hey, it's more
- 19:49Speaker 2: West Tether Statson. Nice job, Jaguars. They don't usually do
- 19:52Speaker 2: that after the losses. Okay, good for them, Thank you,
- 19:54Speaker 2: Thank you guys.
- 19:55Speaker 3: We appreciate that.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Yeah. So this was a it's just a really really
- 20:01Speaker 2: weird game. If you just look at the stat line,
- 20:04Speaker 2: you would have expected it to be a twenty to
- 20:07Speaker 2: thirteen game at most, but there was just a lot
- 20:10Speaker 2: of weird defensive and special team stuff that got these
- 20:15Speaker 2: teams good field position and small. West actually struck first
- 20:19Speaker 2: with the field goal in the first course to make
- 20:21Speaker 2: it three zero, and then on the second quarter it
- 20:23Speaker 2: really ramped up where the Panthers offense finally got it
- 20:27Speaker 2: figured out the Camstrom and third nine yard touchdown to
- 20:30Speaker 2: make it seven to three, and then after another stop,
- 20:33Speaker 2: North was able to score again to make it fourteen
- 20:36Speaker 2: to three, and then Zimall West got a field goal
- 20:39Speaker 2: out of their next drive to make it fourteen to six.
- 20:43Speaker 2: And then on the very next small North drive they
- 20:48Speaker 2: get it down to around the Zamall West fourteen yard
- 20:52Speaker 2: line and then Ben Masko gets an eighty six yard
- 20:55Speaker 2: scoop and score for the Jaguars, and they get the
- 20:57Speaker 2: two point conversion and tied up at fourteen to end
- 21:00Speaker 2: the first half. So a crazy, crazy first half and
- 21:04Speaker 2: then no scoring in the third quarter. I know both
- 21:06Speaker 2: teams exchanged a few punts. Are also a couple of
- 21:10Speaker 2: interceptions in this game, two thrown by North and one
- 21:13Speaker 2: thrown by West. And then the fourth quarter, Simult West
- 21:20Speaker 2: gets a Garret Dixon twenty two yard receiving touchdown for
- 21:22Speaker 2: Clayton O'Brien with nine minutes left to take the lead
- 21:25Speaker 2: twenty seven to.
- 21:28Speaker 4: Wait, twenty one to fourteen, twenty one, fourteen fourteen. Sorry
- 21:32Speaker 4: so West had the lead. Yeah, Wes leads defense.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Fourteen and then smult North with a very methodical drive.
- 21:41Speaker 2: People were getting nervous because they were like, ooh, did
- 21:43Speaker 2: they take too much time? Off the clock. Maybe maybe not.
- 21:46Speaker 2: They scored with three minutes left to tie the game,
- 21:49Speaker 2: and then West gets it back, drives for a bit
- 21:52Speaker 2: and then they do have to punt, and then North
- 21:54Speaker 2: gets the ball back and with a want so the
- 22:00Speaker 2: game is tied twenty one. All the r's at the
- 22:05Speaker 2: thirty three yard line, so right outside of field goal range.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think their kicker is gonna have
- 22:11Speaker 2: to make a fifty yarder. Not many high school.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Kickers far right, even like let alone forty five.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and so twenty one, all nine seconds left, last
- 22:22Speaker 2: play of the game. Philip oar Posse is all North
- 22:25Speaker 2: QB drops back, pocket collapses, he escapes, He finds Garrett
- 22:30Speaker 2: Schaeffer wide open on the left side of the field, gets.
- 22:33Speaker 3: It to him.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Shaffer runs into the end zone touchdown as time expires,
- 22:36Speaker 2: zoom on. The North wins twenty seven to twenty one.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Insane way to end the game. Probably the loudest that
- 22:42Speaker 2: stadium has been in a few years. I mean, just
- 22:47Speaker 2: the magnitude of that game. And I gotta give it
- 22:49Speaker 2: to Zimo West fans as well. They were very loud
- 22:51Speaker 2: as well. They were It was a great environment on
- 22:54Speaker 2: the North side, great, great environment and shout out to
- 22:57Speaker 2: Zimo North's defense man. I mean they only allowed one
- 23:00Speaker 2: hundred and fifty total yards of offense from in all West.
- 23:03Speaker 3: That's gotta be like a low for West in a while.
- 23:07Speaker 2: I believe West had more yards against Kirkwood been the
- 23:10Speaker 2: only store three points than this game. I believe I
- 23:13Speaker 2: could be wrong, but it was. I think they were
- 23:14Speaker 2: around the one seventy mark against Kirkwood.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Just really shocked that, like they're passing their passing yard
- 23:18Speaker 1: it isn't up as much as it you know, because
- 23:21Speaker 1: they had some good receivers come come back and return
- 23:24Speaker 1: and yeah, so I'm just I'm just surprised at their
- 23:27Speaker 1: offense has really struggled through these three games.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, for someone want to pull away
- 23:31Speaker 2: with this one with to their best players out, it
- 23:33Speaker 2: is pretty huge for them. And or Posse didn't have
- 23:37Speaker 2: the best at line. At the end of the game,
- 23:38Speaker 2: he was five to thirteams run the ball eighty seven yards,
- 23:40Speaker 2: two touchdowns, two interceptions, but he did have twenty carries
- 23:43Speaker 2: for one hundred and fifty three yards and his only
- 23:47Speaker 2: touchdown was that passing touchdown.
- 23:50Speaker 1: But class he's been one of the better quarterbacks I
- 23:53Speaker 1: think in the area so far this season.
- 23:55Speaker 2: He has he's he's been, He's had to deal with
- 23:57Speaker 2: some cas say is that the Zumwelt North has put
- 24:03Speaker 2: themselves in a lot of bad offensive spots, a lot
- 24:05Speaker 2: of third and longs where they'll just rely on our
- 24:08Speaker 2: possibly to just figure it out pretty much, and he'll
- 24:10Speaker 2: do that sometimes, which is pretty impressive. But yeah, another
- 24:15Speaker 2: typical outline where they have forty three carries for two
- 24:18Speaker 2: eighty two yards six and a half yards per carry.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Very exciting game, crazy environment, fun one two bad we
- 24:26Speaker 2: didn't have a camera there. I would have loved to
- 24:27Speaker 2: see replay this one, but I have to go and
- 24:30Speaker 2: huddle and find their highlights that way.
- 24:32Speaker 3: But can't be everywhere.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. Yeah, for Zumote West, tough to start
- 24:37Speaker 2: the year one and two, but they they have one
- 24:39Speaker 2: of the toughest schedules in the whole area, starting with Kirkwood,
- 24:42Speaker 2: Bilbo West as well North, and they got Francis how
- 24:45Speaker 2: and Hannibal later in the non conference as well.
- 24:47Speaker 3: Hannibal might be the best remaining team on their schedule.
- 24:50Speaker 2: It really might be. And because we'll we'll talk. You
- 24:52Speaker 2: want to talk about it right now, might as well. Yeah,
- 24:54Speaker 2: Hannibal defeated Troy. Was it fifty four to twenty six?
- 24:57Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 24:58Speaker 2: Four to twenty six to the final score in this one.
- 25:03Speaker 2: The bad news really was Hunter Humphrey.
- 25:05Speaker 3: As the twenty A cl and is out for the year, Yes.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Which is devastating for Troy. I mean, he's one of
- 25:12Speaker 2: the best QB's I've ever had in their school's history.
- 25:14Speaker 2: And you could argue he's the best at QB they've
- 25:16Speaker 2: had in their school history.
- 25:17Speaker 1: It's really close, probably between him and Charles sutton yep.
- 25:21Speaker 2: And I mean this final score, it's either team has.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Their stats are not really surprise.
- 25:28Speaker 1: But I know Hannibal got out to a fourteen because
- 25:31Speaker 1: before before we started recording, I was editing the game
- 25:34Speaker 1: and Hannibal did get out to a fourteen nothing lead,
- 25:37Speaker 1: and so that they were winning from the whole game
- 25:41Speaker 1: pretty much. And Hannibal has given their offense even posted
- 25:46Speaker 1: Nis Williams has given Troy plenty of problems in the past,
- 25:50Speaker 1: and that's what I kind of figured what happened again
- 25:52Speaker 1: going into this game. And then you know, on top
- 25:54Speaker 1: of that, you know Hunter Humphrey is out for the season.
- 25:57Speaker 1: The quarterback, so they're not going to have his his speed.
- 26:03Speaker 1: You know, you gotta you know, it's it's easier to
- 26:05Speaker 1: contain a running back like Carter Dal when you don't
- 26:09Speaker 1: have to worry about a quarterback who's equally is threatening
- 26:12Speaker 1: with his with his speed. And but I think Troy's
- 26:16Speaker 1: got a pretty good backup quarterback and Carter Schaefer, he's
- 26:18Speaker 1: a six y three sophomore, pretty good passer, but it's
- 26:23Speaker 1: a different It's he brings something different to Troy's offense
- 26:28Speaker 1: because he doesn't have the speed that Humphrey has, and
- 26:31Speaker 1: so I just think therefore it's just easier to scheme
- 26:35Speaker 1: against their offense when you don't have a guy like
- 26:37Speaker 1: Humphrey in there. So I mean but that this does
- 26:41Speaker 1: make Troy's offense more versatile ultimately because they'll be able
- 26:45Speaker 1: to pass more and they can.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Still mean they can, I don't know if saying that,
- 26:51Speaker 2: well they.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Can still, I'm just saying it does give them some
- 26:54Speaker 1: more options as far as the passing game, and then
- 26:56Speaker 1: they can still they still have a great running back
- 26:57Speaker 1: in Carteral.
- 26:59Speaker 3: But yeah, it's it's different.
- 27:00Speaker 1: But obviously I think they you know, they really wanted
- 27:03Speaker 1: to you know, have Hunter run for there and because
- 27:06Speaker 1: it gives them a really their offense is really hard
- 27:09Speaker 1: to stop, especially against teams who just aren't that quite
- 27:12Speaker 1: disciplined on defense too. So I'm just I'm trying to
- 27:16Speaker 1: find some positive ways to spin this. But but yeah,
- 27:19Speaker 1: it was a you know, Hannibal's a really good team
- 27:22Speaker 1: this year. I mean, I know, they out of some
- 27:24Speaker 1: pretty big expectations in Class four and they're ranked there
- 27:27Speaker 1: for a reason and they showed. So, you know, I
- 27:30Speaker 1: think Troy still has got a they still got a
- 27:32Speaker 1: good team.
- 27:34Speaker 3: You know, I don't think the G A C.
- 27:35Speaker 1: South is looking as strong as it as we thought
- 27:38Speaker 1: going into the season, especially with you know how Central
- 27:40Speaker 1: they started off one and two. They had a nice
- 27:42Speaker 1: they had a they had a good victory over Vianni,
- 27:44Speaker 1: but uh, you know they're one and two and then yeah,
- 27:48Speaker 1: so and.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Zumalt West isn't as good as what we thought so far, So.
- 27:53Speaker 2: We might as well segue to the Francis Hall Cardi
- 27:57Speaker 2: Ritter game. South. This is the second thing I'll very
- 28:00Speaker 2: wrong about last week, and the Ridder Football team called
- 28:04Speaker 2: me out on Twitter.
- 28:05Speaker 3: I respect it called us technically, but it was kind
- 28:08Speaker 3: of you.
- 28:08Speaker 2: I made a bad prediction. I thought Howel was tougher
- 28:11Speaker 2: than they really were, and I'm saying they aren't tough.
- 28:15Speaker 2: But my main concern going into the game was Ritter's offense.
- 28:20Speaker 2: I trusted them to contain Howell's offense mostly, and I
- 28:24Speaker 2: didn't think that. I forgot exactly what I said that.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I didn't think that it would be, you know, how
- 28:29Speaker 2: putting up fifty points.
- 28:30Speaker 1: You thought that how could score like thirty, like twenty
- 28:33Speaker 1: eight or thirty one points.
- 28:35Speaker 3: I think that's bold and know why I said that.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Yeah, but final score of this one fifty to zero, Yes,
- 28:41Speaker 2: five zero two zero the Lions Turbo o'clock, the Vikings.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Neither team has their stats in. From the small amount
- 28:51Speaker 2: of clips I was able to see, it looks like
- 28:52Speaker 2: the usual suspects had a good game for Ritter many
- 28:55Speaker 2: Ellis Bryce Clayborne.
- 28:56Speaker 3: I believe.
- 28:59Speaker 2: It looks like the Lions have figured out their offense.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like to see what they're doing in
- 29:04Speaker 1: that offense as far as like, are they being a
- 29:07Speaker 1: little bit more vertical downfield? Are they being more aggressive
- 29:10Speaker 1: or are they still just I mean it was it
- 29:12Speaker 1: still works like running the ball and are they just
- 29:14Speaker 1: you know, hitting on you know, these the these screen
- 29:16Speaker 1: passes on the edges outside, you know, like kind of
- 29:20Speaker 1: they're still doing what they were trying to do against Jackson.
- 29:22Speaker 1: But but no, and I figured, you know, they're going
- 29:25Speaker 1: to get better as they go on. I mean, they're
- 29:26Speaker 1: young in certain areas well, especially a quarterback on offense.
- 29:30Speaker 2: I wonder if they have moved Ryland more to QB
- 29:33Speaker 2: or if they have kept.
- 29:34Speaker 3: Interesting I'd like I'd like to see the stats for that.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Yes, I would too, And you know, going I mean
- 29:42Speaker 2: after the Jackson game, we had talked about how carter
- 29:44Speaker 2: Rider is a very talented team, still are not as
- 29:49Speaker 2: elite as previous years, which is a very high bar
- 29:52Speaker 2: to get over. So there's not a knock on them.
- 29:54Speaker 2: It's just they were so low to the previous years
- 29:56Speaker 2: that there was just no way they were going to
- 29:57Speaker 2: keep it up these these this year and the years
- 30:00Speaker 2: to come. But they're they're back on track and they're
- 30:05Speaker 2: at one and two now and they.
- 30:07Speaker 3: You can be held by fifty. That's pretty good.
- 30:09Speaker 2: That's impressive. That's very impressive.
- 30:11Speaker 1: And how's not as what they were like, you know,
- 30:14Speaker 1: when like from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three
- 30:18Speaker 1: when they you know, Bretton Northfleet and Adam Shipley and
- 30:21Speaker 1: a lot of June Gay brothers, Yes, a lot of
- 30:24Speaker 1: other guys. So they're not at that level. But there's
- 30:27Speaker 1: still a decent football team. They're well coached, not as
- 30:31Speaker 1: much weapons as they used to have, but yeah, still
- 30:35Speaker 1: to fifty ball them is pretty great.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and no one has shut down Jalen
- 30:39Speaker 2: Ballard like Ridder just did?
- 30:40Speaker 3: I mean?
- 30:40Speaker 2: Ridder's defense is legit.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Yeah, they have one of the better defenses I think
- 30:45Speaker 3: in the state.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Yeah, so to contain how to zero points is very,
- 30:49Speaker 2: very impressive, and I will give all the credit to
- 30:53Speaker 2: Ritter on that one. And the rest of their schedule
- 30:56Speaker 2: they they should.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Who knows.
- 30:59Speaker 1: The schedule is pretty tough, so it's hard. It's really
- 31:02Speaker 1: hard to say they should this.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Well, they played they played STI tenth and k C
- 31:07Speaker 2: STI Sex isn't looking as good as they have.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Their talent, their team would definitely win.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Well, we'll talk about it obviously, but then I would
- 31:16Speaker 1: favor rid of it in that one though.
- 31:18Speaker 2: And then were plays Masalon Washington, which is a school
- 31:21Speaker 2: from Ohio.
- 31:22Speaker 3: That's where Paul Brown came from.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Oh Cool, so we'll cover that one when that gets there.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Hopefully Rare wins. But then they played Roosevelt and they
- 31:31Speaker 2: played the Smet. The de Smet game could be very interesting.
- 31:35Speaker 2: That could be two teams fighting for some playoff points
- 31:38Speaker 2: that might effect who gets a home playoff games. That
- 31:41Speaker 2: could be interesting. And then at Lutheran North on Week nine,
- 31:45Speaker 2: that one's gonna.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Be very interesting, very very interesting.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Depending on especially depending on where luther North is at. Yeah, definitely,
- 31:51Speaker 2: they didn't have a top fifteen games week, but I'll
- 31:53Speaker 2: just briefly say they triple clock John Burrows this week.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Not really a surprise, but.
- 31:59Speaker 1: They should have some Westminster and Lutheran South. They should
- 32:03Speaker 1: win those games next two weeks.
- 32:05Speaker 2: So hopefully Lutheran North and corn Rider can keep chugging
- 32:09Speaker 2: along and give us a fun Week nine game. But anyway,
- 32:12Speaker 2: congrats to Ridder on the win. I will eat my
- 32:15Speaker 2: awards from last week. I was definitely wrong. Rare is
- 32:19Speaker 2: definitely better than my Well, actually, well here's the things
- 32:24Speaker 2: is is Ridder better than I thought? Or have they?
- 32:28Speaker 2: Has Rider been at the same level and Jackson is
- 32:31Speaker 2: just that good?
- 32:32Speaker 3: I think Jackson maybe Jackson's that good.
- 32:34Speaker 1: I think, Okay, one second, because I wanted to segue
- 32:39Speaker 1: into their game against ed real quick. That ended up
- 32:41Speaker 1: being a great game. But yeah, I think Jackson's that good,
- 32:46Speaker 1: and they're really hard. They're really hard to beat in
- 32:47Speaker 1: the pit, and I think, you know, honestly, I think
- 32:52Speaker 1: getting rid of early is probably the best time to
- 32:54Speaker 1: play them at this point. So I'd just be interested
- 32:58Speaker 1: to see how their offense progresses. But I don't really
- 33:00Speaker 1: have any you know, questions about their defense because I
- 33:02Speaker 1: think they are who they are there and they're really good. Yeah,
- 33:05Speaker 1: So Edwardsville Jackson, it looked like it was gonna be
- 33:09Speaker 1: another well kind of like another Edwardsville lost, but and
- 33:14Speaker 1: it ultimately was thirty three twenty eight, but.
- 33:18Speaker 3: The Tigers showed some fight.
- 33:21Speaker 1: They were they were losing thirty three to seven at
- 33:24Speaker 1: one point.
- 33:25Speaker 3: And this is the second.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Time this season where we've seen a team where like
- 33:31Speaker 1: just kind of get a big lead and then just
- 33:33Speaker 1: kind of coast I guess or whatever reason. I mean,
- 33:37Speaker 1: we saw that was rock with Summit last week against
- 33:39Speaker 1: Lindberg and then you know they bare Summit barely held
- 33:42Speaker 1: on the win. They had a huge lead, but Yeah,
- 33:46Speaker 1: so Everszilla had a thirty three, they were losing thirty
- 33:48Speaker 1: three twenty seven. They end up scoring twenty one unanswered
- 33:52Speaker 1: points and thirty three to seven. Yeah, twenty one un
- 33:55Speaker 1: answered points, make it thirty three to twenty eight, and
- 33:58Speaker 1: had the ball back with under three minutes play, but
- 34:02Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't able to score there. They were
- 34:04Speaker 1: intercepted and.
- 34:06Speaker 3: That was it.
- 34:06Speaker 1: But uh so, you know, good fight back from the
- 34:10Speaker 1: Tigers there.
- 34:11Speaker 3: But they've had a huge problem on defense so far
- 34:14Speaker 3: this season.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Roman they have. They have so far allowed one hundred
- 34:18Speaker 2: and thirty three points through three games against some really
- 34:20Speaker 2: good teams though all all good teams.
- 34:22Speaker 4: All good teams, yes, but you just don't see it
- 34:26Speaker 4: like in Neversville.
- 34:27Speaker 1: An Everythville team just doesn't typically allow that many points,
- 34:29Speaker 1: even when they're not not as good as some of
- 34:32Speaker 1: years compared to the other.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Really, just look at it. Last year, they had the
- 34:34Speaker 2: same three teams to start the year and they only
- 34:37Speaker 2: allowed seventy seven points to start the year.
- 34:40Speaker 1: They did have jos A Panessa and they did have
- 34:42Speaker 1: some other pretty good players in that defense, but they lost.
- 34:45Speaker 1: And I think that I believe they only had one
- 34:47Speaker 1: returning starter and it's a defensive tackle to their defense,
- 34:51Speaker 1: and clearly it's kind of showing.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, they were ranked pretty highly in Class
- 34:55Speaker 2: A coming into the season, but.
- 34:57Speaker 1: I think in class I think they were rank number
- 34:59Speaker 1: nine in class weirdly in Class seven, even though they
- 35:02Speaker 1: will probably be in Class eight this year.
- 35:04Speaker 2: I hate saying this, but.
- 35:07Speaker 3: They might miss the playoffs. I mean, it's probably more
- 35:10Speaker 3: than likely at this point, but.
- 35:12Speaker 2: It's gonna be. They're they're gonna have to really scratch
- 35:15Speaker 2: and claw their weight to five wins because they got
- 35:17Speaker 2: the Bellville's coming up.
- 35:19Speaker 3: West and East easy games, not.
- 35:21Speaker 2: Easy games at all, and then Heat Saint Louis not
- 35:25Speaker 2: an easy game at all. Say the least O'Fallon, they
- 35:28Speaker 2: should win that. Alton should win that, and the end
- 35:30Speaker 2: of the year with the smat they could. If Edwardsville
- 35:36Speaker 2: plays to the best of their abilities, they're probably gonna
- 35:39Speaker 2: be four and four going into that Week nine game
- 35:41Speaker 2: against the Mature and they're gonna have to win that
- 35:44Speaker 2: game at the playoffs.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna have to because I.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Don't know, I mean, maybe the committee looks at their.
- 35:50Speaker 3: It's not a committee. It's all based on math.
- 35:52Speaker 2: And so really even for the what about the handful
- 35:57Speaker 2: of four and five.
- 35:58Speaker 1: Teams that they can it's all calculate, it's calculated by
- 36:01Speaker 1: opponent wins.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, so hopefull then they need Glenn Wood and
- 36:05Speaker 2: Lawrence Central and Jackson and.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Those are good teams.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Yeah, they need those teams to win out pretty much.
- 36:11Speaker 1: So I think if Jackson, if if if Edwards were
- 36:13Speaker 1: to go five and four, I think there's a really
- 36:14Speaker 1: good bet they make the playoffs because they're their opponent
- 36:17Speaker 1: wins four their end, Yeah, for sure, because that's a tiebreaker.
- 36:21Speaker 2: And if they go, if they go four and five,
- 36:23Speaker 2: they're they're most likely we'll see. I mean it's gonna
- 36:26Speaker 2: be tough. I mean, looking at Jackson's schedule, they should
- 36:28Speaker 2: absolutely went out. They're they are definitely past the toughest
- 36:32Speaker 2: part of their schedule. And they got Cape Central which is
- 36:35Speaker 2: a big ribery game.
- 36:36Speaker 3: They got a big game against Farmington coming up, and
- 36:38Speaker 3: then Fastest.
- 36:39Speaker 2: That's against the Yeah, that's gonna be an interesting the ball.
- 36:45Speaker 1: They're on the Farmington's on the feeted too, and they
- 36:47Speaker 1: even put up a lot of points. So anyway, not
- 36:51Speaker 1: to go talk about simo football there, but Yeah, Edwardsville,
- 36:54Speaker 1: they're Yeah, they're kind of in trouble right now.
- 36:58Speaker 3: I mean there's no ways around.
- 37:00Speaker 1: I mean, they gotta they gotta be nearly perfect the
- 37:02Speaker 1: rest of the season and in every game. I mean,
- 37:04Speaker 1: they can win games as long as they don't suck.
- 37:07Speaker 1: But yeah, they can't. They can't have a poor start
- 37:10Speaker 1: to any game.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Yep. This and this is why I like the Illinois playoff.
- 37:15Speaker 3: Yest, I like every game. It's like every games a
- 37:17Speaker 3: playoff game the rest of the season for them.
- 37:18Speaker 2: I like any playoff system in football. I don't care
- 37:23Speaker 2: what level pros, college, high school, little league, whatever. Any
- 37:28Speaker 2: format that promotes the weight of regular season games is better.
- 37:34Speaker 3: Yes, it is, because when.
- 37:36Speaker 2: We're getting into these bigger playoff systems, and I'm thinking
- 37:39Speaker 2: the current college model, the current Missouri model. Yeah, these
- 37:45Speaker 2: regular season games are pretty big for you know your standing. Yeah,
- 37:48Speaker 2: but I mean, shoot, in Missouri, you could just not
- 37:54Speaker 2: give a crap and lose the last six game of
- 37:56Speaker 2: your of your season and then it's really not gonna
- 37:59Speaker 2: map or because you're still going to end up playing
- 38:01Speaker 2: the same teams in the playoffs as you are. You know,
- 38:05Speaker 2: the teams that you're told in the beginning of the
- 38:07Speaker 2: season that are in your class and district.
- 38:08Speaker 1: And it's big, like every game matters, but it depends
- 38:11Speaker 1: like where you're competing on the totem pole, Like if
- 38:13Speaker 1: you're trying to get like a two or three seed realistically,
- 38:16Speaker 1: then like those games do mean a lot, but it's
- 38:18Speaker 1: not for everybody though.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I mean, at least under the MISSOURIO system that the
- 38:22Speaker 2: most you could possibly compete for is home field advantage
- 38:27Speaker 2: in districts.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Sure, that's it home and then just like a favorable
- 38:31Speaker 1: matchup potentially that you could see, but that's you know,
- 38:34Speaker 1: asking your going out of you know your own destiny
- 38:38Speaker 1: right there.
- 38:39Speaker 3: Yeah, where you know.
- 38:40Speaker 2: In the old college format and the current I mean
- 38:43Speaker 2: a little, only it's different because the playoffs are bigger.
- 38:45Speaker 2: You get thirty two teams in each class. But you
- 38:49Speaker 2: got enough teams that play difficult You got enough good
- 38:52Speaker 2: teams that play difficult schedules like Edwardsville that have put
- 38:55Speaker 2: themselves in spots where they are in must win.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Games in October.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Sure, and I think football is the sport is more
- 39:01Speaker 2: fun when you have must win games throughout the whole.
- 39:03Speaker 3: They're in a must win game in mid September.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Right, yeah, seriously, I found over again there they're in
- 39:08Speaker 2: a must win game.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:09Speaker 2: So speaking of their coming opponents, Belgo East also and
- 39:14Speaker 2: night Start three and oh that if you Belville rivals
- 39:16Speaker 2: Alto Off thirty one seventeen and.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Beuville East looking.
- 39:21Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see what happens when they please play
- 39:24Speaker 2: East St. Louis. But they could have their best regular
- 39:28Speaker 2: season finish in a while this year.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Yeah, a long time. You know they still excuse me.
- 39:33Speaker 1: I mean they still got Everardsville in week five, but
- 39:36Speaker 1: other than that, I think, and then Belvo West in
- 39:38Speaker 1: week eight, so.
- 39:42Speaker 3: And then maybe Capital City might be a tough opponent too.
- 39:44Speaker 4: But yeah, anyway, Josh Ware what a game man.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Eight carries, one hundred and thirty eight yards, one touchdown,
- 39:52Speaker 2: two touchdowns. That's incredible. That's best camp of his career.
- 39:56Speaker 2: You talk about yards per rush with.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, and then shoot, it's good to have a
- 40:01Speaker 1: guy like where. And then Jaden Beeman who's a returning
- 40:04Speaker 1: running back for them, he's pretty good. He had twelve
- 40:06Speaker 1: rushes for eighty two yards. And then kid uh Kidden
- 40:10Speaker 1: would not the greatest passive performance, but.
- 40:12Speaker 3: He did throw a touchdown.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Serviceable, they'll take it. Sure, they'll be serviceable. I mean,
- 40:16Speaker 1: he's a guy you can he's been good before for them.
- 40:18Speaker 1: But uh and All Top's got a pretty good secondary
- 40:21Speaker 1: as well.
- 40:21Speaker 3: So it's that was always gonna be a tough one there.
- 40:24Speaker 1: But yeah, absolutely huge that you know East can establish.
- 40:27Speaker 1: You know, they they clearly haven't improved offensive line too,
- 40:31Speaker 1: because that was kind of their troubles like the last
- 40:32Speaker 1: few years. I mean, they've been talented, they've they've been
- 40:34Speaker 1: really good at throwing the ball, but it's just a
- 40:36Speaker 1: step been trouble for them has been kind of been
- 40:38Speaker 1: establishing any consistent run game. And so for them to
- 40:40Speaker 1: do that against team like altov Is is huge for them.
- 40:43Speaker 2: And if the bill will East front seven to hold
- 40:45Speaker 2: All to Off to under three and a half yards
- 40:47Speaker 2: per cara ethic is huge. And again All TOAF isn't
- 40:49Speaker 2: as loaded as they were in previous years, but that
- 40:53Speaker 2: that's that's definitely a big improvement for the Lancers.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Huge sequence for them.
- 40:58Speaker 1: I mean, it was fourteen, it was ten seven All
- 41:00Speaker 1: Top at halftime, but then East scores twenty four unanswered
- 41:06Speaker 1: points within six minutes in the third quarter. They well,
- 41:09Speaker 1: they had seventeen unanswered right there, and then they added
- 41:13Speaker 1: another one with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter,
- 41:15Speaker 1: so twenty four and answered.
- 41:17Speaker 2: That's impressed for them to come out like down in
- 41:18Speaker 2: the second half.
- 41:18Speaker 1: And maybe maybe maybe their depth kind of or all
- 41:23Speaker 1: Top down a little bit. I mean all Top they're
- 41:25Speaker 1: a three eighteen, but they like their enrollments kind of
- 41:29Speaker 1: I think like a one enrollment, but because of the multiplier.
- 41:31Speaker 3: They're they're in class three and one. Oni.
- 41:33Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think I wouldn't be surprised if that
- 41:35Speaker 1: at all came into effect.
- 41:37Speaker 2: In a couple of weeks, they host Edwardsville and that
- 41:40Speaker 2: could become one of the biggest games in the area
- 41:45Speaker 2: that week.
- 41:45Speaker 1: Yeah, a few years ago they played Edwardsville and that
- 41:48Speaker 1: was a huge game. I think that was back in
- 41:51Speaker 1: twenty twenty, twenty twenty two. Yeah, so that was I
- 41:55Speaker 1: remember that being a big deal. That was a great game.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Edwards Hill came back and want to shootout there and
- 42:00Speaker 1: uh yeah, so and East gets the host Edwardsville again
- 42:04Speaker 1: as well, So that'll be that'll be big. I mean,
- 42:07Speaker 1: it's gonna be big for Bell last even if if
- 42:09Speaker 1: Edwardsville's oh and four in that game.
- 42:10Speaker 3: It's a big deal for Bell least.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Shifting over to Missouri silence and private
- 42:17Speaker 2: school action, Borgia lays and eg against Sant Dominic. The
- 42:22Speaker 2: Crusaders come out, and I.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Would say that was St. Dominic just being good. I
- 42:26Speaker 1: think it's a little hard.
- 42:27Speaker 2: It was tough for us to judge. Well, so Sat
- 42:30Speaker 2: Donald wins the game for you two seventeen. They were
- 42:33Speaker 2: in control really the whole time. I mean, Borgia had
- 42:35Speaker 2: a couple of huge plays in the second quarter and
- 42:37Speaker 2: that was kind of the whole offense the whole game.
- 42:40Speaker 2: But it was tough to judge Segnominica going into this
- 42:42Speaker 2: because they played.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Kind of both teams hard to judge.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they played Saint Charles West and Normandy for
- 42:48Speaker 2: the first two games, so it's like, you know what,
- 42:50Speaker 2: those are two games they should have won by a lot.
- 42:52Speaker 2: So it's you know, it's like when these SEC teams
- 42:56Speaker 2: play SCS teams early in the year, it's like, well,
- 42:58Speaker 2: you know, still care of business, but that's what you
- 43:00Speaker 2: were supposed to do, right, But Saint Donalk's defense completely
- 43:07Speaker 2: stifles Borge as rushing attack holds hold. They held the
- 43:09Speaker 2: Knights to seventeen yards on the ground, less than one
- 43:12Speaker 2: yard per carry on the game, held the Knights to
- 43:14Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety four total yards of offense.
- 43:17Speaker 1: And they outgained him by almost over four hundred yards.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Yeah, and is it he pronounced his last name chechin
- 43:24Speaker 2: cheechin Shane. I'm sorry, Brennan for mispronouncing your name, but
- 43:28Speaker 2: it is a weird way to spell it. Yes, he
- 43:32Speaker 2: had a great game fifteen to twenty three in the
- 43:33Speaker 2: year two and sixteen yards, one touchdown. He also had
- 43:37Speaker 2: three to four rushing yards. And Hayden Bollinger had a
- 43:39Speaker 2: great game in the ground, one hundred and twenty seven
- 43:41Speaker 2: yards rushing for him over fifteen yards per carry. They
- 43:44Speaker 2: they were sat Dominic was five rushing yards way from
- 43:48Speaker 2: averaging ten yards per carry, which is very, very impressive.
- 43:53Speaker 1: And Shashen He's now the all time leading passer in
- 43:57Speaker 1: Saint Dominic history.
- 43:58Speaker 3: Wow, good for him. Three year starter.
- 44:03Speaker 1: They have thrown up a lot of passing yards on
- 44:05Speaker 1: his sophomore year, had a okay year last.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Year, and now he's off to a really good start
- 44:09Speaker 3: this year too.
- 44:09Speaker 1: So and then I think for a long time, Saint
- 44:12Speaker 1: Domic's not really been a team who's relied on a
- 44:14Speaker 1: passing game for the most part.
- 44:15Speaker 2: So well, I think with Shashine being as good as
- 44:19Speaker 2: he is in the old line, giving Hayden Bowlinger the
- 44:23Speaker 2: running lanes that he needs, this is a This is
- 44:25Speaker 2: a very good offensive attack here.
- 44:27Speaker 3: For Saint Dominic because yeah, definitely.
- 44:29Speaker 2: They've got a few different ways they can they can
- 44:32Speaker 2: get you. And you know it's not just relying on
- 44:36Speaker 2: Shashine to Billy out and.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Third and longs.
- 44:38Speaker 2: It's oh, we're not either gonna be in third and
- 44:40Speaker 2: long in the first place, because we're gonna get a
- 44:42Speaker 2: good six yard run from bolling Roun on first down.
- 44:45Speaker 2: So that that's I think a huge improvement for them
- 44:48Speaker 2: offensively from previous years.
- 44:50Speaker 3: And you know, the.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Crusaders have a tough schedule coming up. They got park
- 44:54Speaker 2: Hill Central, Cave Geordo Central coming up and I CDs
- 44:57Speaker 2: later in the year. But the way they've been rolling,
- 45:01Speaker 2: I mean they can they could, they can finish this
- 45:04Speaker 2: off pretty strong.
- 45:05Speaker 3: I would think, yeah, they're on they're on a pretty
- 45:07Speaker 3: good path right now.
- 45:07Speaker 2: I mean, being in Class six, they're gonna need all
- 45:09Speaker 2: those points they can get to hope, hopefully get a
- 45:12Speaker 2: home field game or soon in the playoffs.
- 45:13Speaker 1: Yeah, Class six District four. Yeah, you're right, it'll be
- 45:16Speaker 1: uh and it's a it's a tough, tough ish district too,
- 45:20Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, all right, I want to talk
- 45:26Speaker 1: about Ludu Limberg.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 45:29Speaker 2: I knew I couldn't. I couldn't contain it for too long.
- 45:32Speaker 2: You're gonna bring it up.
- 45:33Speaker 3: You contained it for a while.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Honestly, this ended up being one of the better games,
- 45:37Speaker 1: not the not the not a most memorable game ever,
- 45:40Speaker 1: but it was.
- 45:40Speaker 3: It was a good one. The Rams once again they
- 45:43Speaker 3: find a way to win, uh with some with some.
- 45:47Speaker 1: You know, clutch fourth quarter plays, and they win another
- 45:50Speaker 1: tight one against Limberg fourteen to ten.
- 45:53Speaker 3: This is the out of the this decade Leu's beaten
- 45:56Speaker 3: Limberg all in close, low scoring game games.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Uh yeah, fourteen to ten and the game winning touchdown
- 46:06Speaker 1: was about with about ten minutes ago and Jack Hensley
- 46:09Speaker 1: was able to kind of evade some pressure, step up
- 46:11Speaker 1: in the pocket and fire or pass to Mattick Maddox
- 46:15Speaker 1: Wolf who got a good gain and then made a
- 46:18Speaker 1: really nice cut to get by Limberg safety and he
- 46:24Speaker 1: was off to the races to the end. Zone on
- 46:25Speaker 1: that it was a really nice, nice catch and run
- 46:27Speaker 1: by Wolf and and then the Lidu defense man they
- 46:32Speaker 1: were they put on a clinic. In fact, this is
- 46:35Speaker 1: the they've now gone six quarters without allowing a touchdown. Wow,
- 46:38Speaker 1: going back to their to the second half against Rittner.
- 46:42Speaker 3: And.
- 46:44Speaker 1: We've we have established that Limberg does not have a
- 46:47Speaker 1: They don't they do not have a very good offense.
- 46:50Speaker 1: But this this new defense has really been kind of
- 46:53Speaker 1: living up to like, Hey, you got a few D
- 46:56Speaker 1: one guys you know, in your in your unit. And
- 47:00Speaker 1: then they'ven't even had Avid Vai yet play yet. Who's
- 47:03Speaker 1: another guy getting recruited as a cornerback. But yeah, they've looked,
- 47:06Speaker 1: they've looked really good.
- 47:07Speaker 3: These last six quarters. And I mean they're only Limberg.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Their best drive of the game was their first drive
- 47:14Speaker 1: where they had a long, sustained drive down the field
- 47:17Speaker 1: and ultimately ended up in just getting a field goal.
- 47:20Speaker 1: And then after that they they did not come close
- 47:22Speaker 1: to the end zone. So and then the last drive,
- 47:26Speaker 1: I was able to get there. I zoomed over from
- 47:29Speaker 1: de Smet to Sappington and I was able to see
- 47:34Speaker 1: the entire last drive of the game and it was.
- 47:36Speaker 3: That was just really good defense.
- 47:38Speaker 1: It was actually kind of actually well executed to a
- 47:41Speaker 1: point for Limberg where they were they didn't take a
- 47:43Speaker 1: whole lot of gambles. They just kind of took what
- 47:45Speaker 1: the dude gave him, and the dude did a great
- 47:47Speaker 1: job of just keeping everything in front of them, didn't
- 47:49Speaker 1: give up any I don't think they gave up a
- 47:51Speaker 1: play over fifteen yards at that whole drive and.
- 47:55Speaker 3: Kind of a big two big plays where well one
- 48:00Speaker 3: was in a play.
- 48:00Speaker 1: It was Limberg had a tough time getting their signals
- 48:03Speaker 1: ready or whatever, and so they had to burn their
- 48:05Speaker 1: last time out without without running a play or else
- 48:08Speaker 1: they would have gotten delay delayed a game. And then
- 48:11Speaker 1: and then that wanted to effect when we'll do Uh
- 48:13Speaker 1: tackled a Limberg player in bounds with that and it
- 48:16Speaker 1: wasn't a first down with about twenty seconds ago.
- 48:19Speaker 3: And then Limberg was forced to.
- 48:22Speaker 1: Spike the ball with nine seconds to play on a
- 48:23Speaker 1: fourth and six and that kind of forced them to
- 48:27Speaker 1: take a shot to the end zone and it was
- 48:30Speaker 1: batted down by Ludo and that was it there. So
- 48:32Speaker 1: that was just a really well executed game by Ludu's
- 48:34Speaker 1: defense and this is so LDUs been a really interesting
- 48:39Speaker 1: team because they're a team they have a lot of talent,
- 48:42Speaker 1: but they just they're they kind of beat themselves in
- 48:44Speaker 1: a lot of ways because they just just not the
- 48:47Speaker 1: most disciplined team.
- 48:48Speaker 3: But they're getting better each week with that.
- 48:50Speaker 1: I mean, if players would tell you on the team
- 48:53Speaker 1: that they should have won this game, like by by
- 48:56Speaker 1: three scorers, and they probably should have because they fumbled
- 48:59Speaker 1: the ball. They had the ball the one yard line,
- 49:00Speaker 1: they fumbled it away to Limberg and then Limberg's only
- 49:03Speaker 1: touchdown the game was a pick six and and then
- 49:08Speaker 1: the doo. I mean Mason Martin he told me twice
- 49:11Speaker 1: after the game that he he should have had a
- 49:12Speaker 1: pick six where the ball is kind of went right
- 49:14Speaker 1: through his fingers and he had a lane. And by
- 49:17Speaker 1: the way, he unofficially he had twenty four tackles in
- 49:19Speaker 1: the game. So yeah, he's been obviously, uh killing it
- 49:25Speaker 1: for the Rams there on the defensive end. And then
- 49:28Speaker 1: what was also really important for Ladu is they mixed
- 49:30Speaker 1: in Martin on offense and he had some he had
- 49:32Speaker 1: a couple of first down catches and then a few
- 49:36Speaker 1: other you know, decent games on offense. So if that's
- 49:39Speaker 1: something I've privately been screaming for this whole season, you know,
- 49:43Speaker 1: just to utilize Martin on offense. And now that they've
- 49:46Speaker 1: done that, they've their offense has gotten better because of that,
- 49:49Speaker 1: even though the scoreboard hasn't reflected they're gonna be hard
- 49:51Speaker 1: of the game for game plan for so and you know.
- 49:55Speaker 3: They lost the lost to Troy in the first game.
- 49:58Speaker 1: That's a game where they would have had to have
- 49:59Speaker 1: played a perfect game, honestly, Yeah, And but they've done
- 50:02Speaker 1: the next best thing, which is the one of the
- 50:04Speaker 1: two games that you know that were manageable for them,
- 50:07Speaker 1: And honestly that these are two games that they really
- 50:11Speaker 1: could not have afforded to lose, and they did it,
- 50:13Speaker 1: and they got a really good shot at going five
- 50:16Speaker 1: and four. And I think, uh, they could win a
- 50:18Speaker 1: few more games beyond that, honestly, because I think they're
- 50:20Speaker 1: they're team that's just gonna get better as this season
- 50:22Speaker 1: goes on.
- 50:22Speaker 2: Well, they got a big test coming up because Little East,
- 50:24Speaker 2: which we'll talk about a bit in the next episode.
- 50:26Speaker 2: But it's impressive for me who to come out and
- 50:30Speaker 2: stay poised enough to not give away these two games
- 50:33Speaker 2: against Ritter and Limberg. Now we've seen the dude kind
- 50:36Speaker 2: of do that sometimes in the past, but it'll just
- 50:37Speaker 2: kind of full a little bit of a pressure.
- 50:39Speaker 3: They tried do tried it well.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Their offense tried at times against Limberg and Rittner to
- 50:44Speaker 1: give the game away. But their credit, they were able to,
- 50:46Speaker 1: you know, make some have some big plays in the
- 50:48Speaker 1: fourth quarter and then that that touchdown the Wolf, I mean,
- 50:50Speaker 1: that was that was the one big play they needed.
- 50:52Speaker 3: They needed kind of someone.
- 50:54Speaker 1: Because it was that was a really tight game and
- 50:56Speaker 1: they just needed someone to make a play and that
- 50:58Speaker 1: was it.
- 50:59Speaker 3: And you know that they've gotten some big.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Moments from all three of their receivers even without Evan
- 51:04Speaker 1: Vye so far in these uh these last two games.
- 51:07Speaker 1: And so they got they got a really good receiving
- 51:09Speaker 1: corps when they can pass, and their their running game
- 51:11Speaker 1: is just okay really, I mean that they're not really
- 51:13Speaker 1: special there. But as long as they just don't kill
- 51:16Speaker 1: themselves there and get a few some positive games and
- 51:20Speaker 1: they would have a tough offense as long as they
- 51:21Speaker 1: just cut out those mistakes.
- 51:23Speaker 2: So congrats to the Rams and a big conference win
- 51:26Speaker 2: and l for.
- 51:26Speaker 1: The first time in the like since I think twenty
- 51:28Speaker 1: twenty one to start out their conference.
- 51:30Speaker 2: Wow do Lindberg hasn't really been a historical rivalry, but
- 51:35Speaker 2: they've get enough enough close games recently that's kind of, yeah,
- 51:38Speaker 2: feeling like a rivalry game nowadays.
- 51:40Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say yeah, I wouldn't say it's a rivalry,
- 51:42Speaker 1: but I think both programs have a really good mutual
- 51:45Speaker 1: respect for each other there and and yeah, they always
- 51:47Speaker 1: play early in the season and uh yeah, so it's uh,
- 51:52Speaker 1: we'll see what happens after that Lindberg.
- 51:53Speaker 3: Oh and three for the first time in a long time.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Yeah, Flyers, I mean.
- 51:59Speaker 3: Off like that.
- 52:00Speaker 2: They just they've been stagging it for a while. And
- 52:03Speaker 2: I don't know if it's I don't know what it's
- 52:05Speaker 2: going to take. I mean, I feel that the offensive
- 52:07Speaker 2: line has been okay, but usually an okay offensive line
- 52:13Speaker 2: can kind of open your playbook a bit.
- 52:15Speaker 1: It's a it's a young line and it it also
- 52:18Speaker 1: didn't help that they didn't have their running back Kevin
- 52:20Speaker 1: Fisher for the game.
- 52:21Speaker 3: And and Nathan Norman's is good? Is no on Norman?
- 52:24Speaker 1: I should say he's he could be a pretty good
- 52:26Speaker 1: running back. But I think they want to kind of
- 52:28Speaker 1: use him sparingly there because he's there, He's he's their
- 52:30Speaker 1: best linebacker. He's a really good linebacker. So I think
- 52:32Speaker 1: they wanted to limit his carries there. And so that
- 52:35Speaker 1: was kind of a heavy workload for for Kobe Banger
- 52:38Speaker 1: at quarterback. And he's like he had over thirty rushes
- 52:41Speaker 1: and then like you passed the ball over twenty times.
- 52:44Speaker 3: He was just a lot was asked of him.
- 52:45Speaker 1: So kind of like a Philip oar Posse situation, if
- 52:48Speaker 1: you want to say, like just kind of asked to
- 52:50Speaker 1: do a lot, and it's tough.
- 52:52Speaker 3: It's pretty tough.
- 52:53Speaker 1: So and they've played limb Berg, they played some of
- 52:55Speaker 1: Okville Madoo, and those are teams that are all most
- 52:58Speaker 1: likely got to have. Those are teams who could probably
- 53:00Speaker 1: win six to seven games a season. So it's not
- 53:03Speaker 1: they've had an easy schedule so far, not at all.
- 53:07Speaker 2: Shifted over to the GC Liberty Turbo O'clock's warrant in
- 53:11Speaker 2: thirty five zero. The final in this one, Liberty was
- 53:15Speaker 2: I mean, I believe they had to punt, or I
- 53:17Speaker 2: know they didn't punt. They warranted had a long first
- 53:22Speaker 2: drive that took some time off the clock. But Liberty's
- 53:25Speaker 2: first possession, they were able to score, and they were
- 53:28Speaker 2: in control pretty much the entire game. I mean they
- 53:30Speaker 2: were able to be up twenty eight zero at halftime,
- 53:32Speaker 2: and in the second half they kind of just let
- 53:34Speaker 2: off a little bit. Sure got some backups in playing time.
- 53:37Speaker 2: No crazy stat lines from anybody, really. I mean Gelan
- 53:40Speaker 2: Mack had nine carries for sixty three yards and he
- 53:43Speaker 2: had three touchdowns total in the game. He also had
- 53:46Speaker 2: three catches for sixty three yards, So the second week
- 53:48Speaker 2: in a row where we've seen him be just as
- 53:50Speaker 2: much of a threat catching the ball as he has
- 53:52Speaker 2: been running the ball. And then Sullivan Thornton not a
- 53:56Speaker 2: crazy stat line, he was a good stat line. Nine
- 53:58Speaker 2: or fourteen hundred forty two yards, three touchdown, one interception,
- 54:00Speaker 2: nothing crazy but nothing get the job done. And Liberty
- 54:05Speaker 2: quietly with a very good three not start of the
- 54:07Speaker 2: year with three I would say dominating wins. I mean
- 54:11Speaker 2: they were heavily in control of the whole France South
- 54:14Speaker 2: hangsle game Week one. The Timberland game was I guess
- 54:19Speaker 2: you could say less dominant because it was twenty one
- 54:21Speaker 2: seven and a half time.
- 54:23Speaker 3: It was a pretty but the Eagles running score.
- 54:25Speaker 2: Yeah, the Eagles running control really the whole time. So
- 54:28Speaker 2: now that you go into it a big it is
- 54:31Speaker 2: a rivalry game, I would say. Now against north Point
- 54:34Speaker 2: in week four to start the conference, played off strong
- 54:37Speaker 2: Wealth teams.
- 54:38Speaker 1: Undefeated north Point with a kind of a pretty it
- 54:41Speaker 1: was a nice decent win over over Timberland forty five
- 54:44Speaker 1: to twenty nine. Yeah, there, it was good to see
- 54:47Speaker 1: that north Point could put up something. I mean, they
- 54:49Speaker 1: struggled last week to put up points, but yeah, this
- 54:51Speaker 1: week they responded with putting up forty five on Timberland.
- 54:55Speaker 3: So I want to go back to the suburb suburbs
- 54:58Speaker 3: real quick. Yeah, you know what I'm speaking about.
- 55:02Speaker 1: You know, like how we're kind of happy for Slew
- 55:05Speaker 1: that hey, this is the first really good, really good
- 55:08Speaker 1: for the first time in a while.
- 55:09Speaker 3: But I mean, but how about Writtener. I mean, we
- 55:12Speaker 3: have talked.
- 55:13Speaker 2: About, oh my gosh, how they have.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Just had so many heartbreaking losses and close games. And
- 55:18Speaker 1: last last week against LaDou was a really tough way
- 55:22Speaker 1: to lose. But they finally got one against Fox with
- 55:25Speaker 1: a twenty four to twenty three win, and in a
- 55:27Speaker 1: game they trailed seventeen to six at halftime. So it
- 55:30Speaker 1: was just you're just kind of happy for them that
- 55:31Speaker 1: they finally it's nice.
- 55:33Speaker 3: To win one.
- 55:34Speaker 2: They were down seventeen six at halftime, they were down
- 55:37Speaker 2: twenty three twelve going into the fourth quarter, and they
- 55:39Speaker 2: scored twelve unanswered points to win the game twenty four
- 55:42Speaker 2: to twenty three. I mean, if the odam had a
- 55:45Speaker 2: great game thirteen to sixteen, throwing the ball one hundred
- 55:47Speaker 2: and sixty six pass in yards, three touchdowns, nine carries
- 55:50Speaker 2: for sixty one yards.
- 55:52Speaker 1: And it's I was about to I mean, hey, their
- 55:56Speaker 1: run game is better. Yeah, but he had an but
- 56:00Speaker 1: like that was I'm pretty sure that that is his career.
- 56:04Speaker 3: High sixty one rushing yards in the game.
- 56:06Speaker 1: He's not really it's not usually his role, but I
- 56:09Speaker 1: guess maybe they're I don't know if those were scrambles
- 56:11Speaker 1: or some of them were design plays, but uh yeah,
- 56:14Speaker 1: it's I told you last week it's been a struggle
- 56:17Speaker 1: so far for Rittner's offensive line.
- 56:19Speaker 3: And but but kind of like letdo just.
- 56:21Speaker 1: Don't just don't suck, and your your passing game is
- 56:26Speaker 1: good enough to trouble teams and just be a little
- 56:30Speaker 1: productive and you're going to be in games. And it
- 56:32Speaker 1: looked like they didn't suck twenty rushers one hundred and
- 56:34Speaker 1: four yards five yards of carry.
- 56:36Speaker 3: That that'll that'll do.
- 56:38Speaker 2: And I think you got to get the credit third
- 56:40Speaker 2: defense here, I mean Fox got Fox had a decent
- 56:43Speaker 2: game offensively. I mean they ran the ball kind of
- 56:45Speaker 2: how they wanted to in the first half. It just
- 56:47Speaker 2: couldn't quite finish drive. So it was really a ben,
- 56:50Speaker 2: don't break approach for the Huskies and especially in the
- 56:56Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, just get the third down stops,
- 56:58Speaker 2: and they did. Was so huge for written her. And
- 57:01Speaker 2: I'm trying to do some researcher. I'm trying to find
- 57:04Speaker 2: the last time Writtener won a one score so the
- 57:07Speaker 2: last time I think the yep they did twenty twenty two. Yeah,
- 57:13Speaker 2: Week three they beat thirty three twenty.
- 57:15Speaker 3: That was a game.
- 57:16Speaker 1: The way that was a game where they had a
- 57:18Speaker 1: three score lead and they almost do was that was
- 57:21Speaker 1: a fourth I think fourth and six or fourth and
- 57:23Speaker 1: three stop away from getting the ball back late in
- 57:26Speaker 1: the game, and like written Er, they broke a tackle
- 57:29Speaker 1: in the backfield and they got the first down. Yeah,
- 57:31Speaker 1: so's been.
- 57:33Speaker 3: Good for them. Yeah, it always seems to circle back to.
- 57:35Speaker 2: We do oh, come on, well, congrats to Rittner on
- 57:39Speaker 2: the on the big win, huge, huge rivalry game coming
- 57:42Speaker 2: up for them this Saturday against Pattonville.
- 57:45Speaker 1: Another game last year that got away from Writtener to Yeah,
- 57:48Speaker 1: another another close game that they they they led late
- 57:50Speaker 1: on but couldn't close out. So yeah, they're all that
- 57:54Speaker 1: game already is you know, kind of a big deal.
- 57:56Speaker 1: And so I'm sure that's as a game that you know,
- 57:59Speaker 1: written are gonna remember from last last few years.
- 58:01Speaker 3: And make a point. Same with Pattonville too. By the way,
- 58:05Speaker 3: Pattonville they they.
- 58:07Speaker 2: They're too a good start at one and two, but
- 58:10Speaker 2: they have a tough schedule start.
- 58:11Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they played in North Kirkwood. But
- 58:13Speaker 1: then you know, they took care of business against Marquette.
- 58:15Speaker 1: I mean that this is this is a team that's
- 58:17Speaker 1: kind of struggled against kind of yeah, taking care of
- 58:20Speaker 1: business against teams that you know, maybe they shouldn't win,
- 58:23Speaker 1: but hey, they already got a really tough schedule, so
- 58:26Speaker 1: this is a game like we got to win some
- 58:27Speaker 1: of these a little bit more manageable to win games
- 58:29Speaker 1: even if the opponents are you know, are tough, but
- 58:33Speaker 1: they did it.
- 58:34Speaker 2: Trevor Beckerman, Holy cow, seven yards downs he's having.
- 58:40Speaker 3: He's had to come in with a tough act to follow,
- 58:43Speaker 3: you know, with.
- 58:44Speaker 2: They all be a family, leaving a good line of
- 58:46Speaker 2: qbs at Pattonville.
- 58:47Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And so I know he's done a great job,
- 58:50Speaker 1: you know, eighteen twenty four seventy seven yards for a touchdown,
- 58:53Speaker 1: zero interceptions, and uh, you know, Pattonville had a decent
- 58:57Speaker 1: rush game one hundred four six total yards Montoya also
- 59:01Speaker 1: Ben Beckerman himself and Larry Martin all had over forty
- 59:05Speaker 1: yards rushing.
- 59:06Speaker 3: So I'll added up there.
- 59:08Speaker 1: And Drew West is a really good receiver eighteen eight
- 59:13Speaker 1: eight receptions for one hundred forty three yards, and Terrell
- 59:16Speaker 1: Lyles is another good one two receptions for seventy nine.
- 59:18Speaker 3: Yards there, And yeah, they were able.
- 59:22Speaker 1: They were able to established a fairly early fourteen nothing
- 59:25Speaker 1: lead and we're able to.
- 59:29Speaker 3: So we actually Marquette tied.
- 59:31Speaker 1: The game in the second quarter, but then Pattonville then
- 59:34Speaker 1: they scored eighteen consecutive points, and yeah, it was kind
- 59:38Speaker 1: of able to maintain a two score lead for the
- 59:41Speaker 1: most part of the game.
- 59:41Speaker 3: So that's a good win.
- 59:43Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a big game on the you know,
- 59:45Speaker 1: the entire Saint Louis area spectrum. But it was a
- 59:48Speaker 1: really important win for Pattonville there. And even though they're
- 59:51Speaker 1: one and two, they've they've just they've looked better, they've
- 59:53Speaker 1: they've played better compared to what they've kind of been
- 59:56Speaker 1: able to do these last I don't know if that's yeah,
- 59:58Speaker 1: several years really honestly at this point, so Marquette though,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: oh and three, they were just I don't know, just
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: last year you could tell they weren't the same, and
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: this year it looks like they might be worse.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: Where's the offense?
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: That's what I want to know, well more about I
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: think you should ask where's their defense at where's both?
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: I mean, it's I hate to ask his questions.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Because it's just not been good. No, it's not been good.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry Mustangs man. I don't want to Sorry staying gang.
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: I don't want to.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: I don't want to be a hater, but I just
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: it's not not a good look for you guys. Sorry. Yeah,
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: to start off with conference, that's tough. But one game
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: I want to talk about, Summits defeats Oakville thirty six game.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: That Summit, you know they've Oakville they got out to
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: an early lead, I think thirteen nothing.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: It was thirteen nothing Oakville to start.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: Yeah, but Something did a really good job of responding.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: They just and they just they make things interesting, but
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: they always seem to find a way to ultimately right
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: the ship. And that's kind of who they've been so
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: far season because they were trailing. They got out to
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: a bad start against Maline, they were trailing ten to
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: three in that game, but it ultimately came back to
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: win thirty to twenty four. And then they defensively had
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: a bad start against Limburg. You know, it was fourteen
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: to fourteen at one point, and then they had forty
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: one to fourteen league and just I think completely let their
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: guard down and Limberg had a chance to recover an
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: onside kick and potentially win the game. Was able to
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: hold on and yeah, not a good start against Oakfield,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: but after, you know, midway through that second quarter, they
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: played a real, real complete game.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: After that, Yeah, I mean the Kendall young Ader touchdown
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: run in in the third quarter was really what set
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: the tone i think coming into the second half of
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: them and really went shifted the game in favor of
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: the Falcons because you know at halftime thirteen to ten,
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: they kind of came back at it. It's like, Okay,
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: we're getting there, but still down, got to make a
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: big play. Who's gonna call out the big play? Kimmel
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: Yunk comes out fire and they end up winning the
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: game by.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Two scores, the second game in a row Where's had
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: two like I think he like two eighty plus yard
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: runs or seventy yard runs. Oh yeah, and then and
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: then Jay Sean Taylor like him. Young and Taylor have
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: been the two X factors for some months offense. I mean, obviously,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Chase bearings are one hundred and seventy nine yards, but
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: Taylor had one hundred and fifty two of those.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: My question for this game, and I would like to
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: find it on huddle when did the interceptions come? Because
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Chase Barrongs were through two interceptions and Max Bradley threw three.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: So I would assume.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: I edited the game, but I don't remember much.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: I would assume that Barons were through his interceptions in
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: the first half and Bradley threw his in the second half.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: You think so, so three picks. It's gonna be tough
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: to beat a solid team like something you throw three picks.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: Right, and then you know in Oakville they had a
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: good game, fairly good game offensively with the yard I
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: mean over three hundred yards, but you know, interceptions will
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: kill you. Yeah, so that it might have been the
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: big difference right there, honestly, but you know, Oakville's playing
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: at a a much better level than like they've had
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: in a really long time. So you know, I think
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: they're gonna be okay. They just they got a limit
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: turn I mean that's just you know, it seems like
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: every team kind of learns that lesson every year.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: Just turnovers can kill you, and you know three is.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Three interceptions especially is really hard to overcome. So but yeah,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: another a good win for Summit. You know, they've beaten Moline.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I don't know how they've actually Molleene. They're two and
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: one now, so is a decent win. And then Linburg
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: is a win. Honestly, they'll probably look back and think
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: like that was just a win. We just we should
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: have won, even if the final score is a lot
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: closer than what really was. And then yeah, Oakville could
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: end up end up being a really good win too.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: So yeah, a good win for some of there.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: Only a couple other games to go over. Bruce. Central
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: falls to Mountain Zion final score thirty eight twenty eight
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: most stats in for this game.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: That was a game.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: It seems like that Mountain Sign was always ahead, not
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: by a lot, but it was just it was they
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: were always ahead.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: By like a few, like two scores pretty much.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I mean they were, you know, coming
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: off of a Class four runner.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Up and knocked out Breeze into the.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Quarterfinals last year and Central had to go up to
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Mount Signed finally for the first time in four games
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: they played these last four years. And yeah, they were
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: mount Zigned. They got a pretty good passing attack. I know,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: they returned their quarterback from a year ago who was
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: really good for them, and then J. C. Anderson is
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: one of the better tight ends in the country and
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: he's also a pretty good defensive end as well. He's
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: six six committed to Ole Miss and they just have
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: a good team around those guys too. So I think,
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: you know what, it's a I think it's still a
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: good sign for Central. I mean they were able to
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: go to uh and I believe Mount zionn's in classified
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: now so kind of helped Central out ultimately.
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: And when they get to the playoffs.
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: But they were able to go on the road against
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: a really good team and lose by ten points. So
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: and I think Central probably, I think they're in really
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: good shape for the rest of the season.
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: And I don't.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: I wouldn't think that victory would deter them in any
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: way unless they suffered some injuries. So I think they're
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: good shape overall. You know, Mount Sign's a tough team
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: to beat.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: YEP.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: One of their game I will just briefly go over.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: CBC extended their winning streak against Shamanad to seventeen sixty
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: four to seven.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but no one's really surprised by the score.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: I mean it was it was it was sixty to
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: fifty to zero at halftime.
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, I wasn't really surprised by that.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: I mean, oh my, I'm looking at Staylin For the
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: first time. CBC has five hundred and ninety seven yards.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: Or total offense. It doesn't help at least the for
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: the opponent's BBC.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: Had six different players run for forty or more yards.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: That is crazy, Holy crap.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: It doesn't help that they got some pretty good backup
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: quarterbacks and just good good reserves for them so they're.
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: Just gonna They're not gonna, you know, play light.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: They're gonna get their opportunity to play you know, shine
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: and prove a point maybe.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: And so yeah, they're gonna keep playing hard.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they go in the NCC schedule, they
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: go to the MCC schedule strong, got a massive gang
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: inst the Smeck coming up this week, and then they
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: played the last eight teams and Lipscombe Tennessee. I think
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: they've been playing Lipscomb they have for a little while,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: a little while now. Yeah, just their third time playing
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: them in a row. They beat in the last two years,
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: but it's been somewhat close games. Hopefull they can stay
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: stay strong in that one. Yeah, we play a Georgia
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: team and Week six and then Beyoni and then the
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: Slave game that we mentioned earlier. So again, I don't
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: want to just come out and say that we're rooting
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: for some teams of our other teams, but it would
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: be so cool to have a seven to oh Cities
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: See going to a seven oh Slue high. I want
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: to reemphasize that for our listeners.
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: Move that game to Bush Stadium like old times.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that would be sick. That would be amazing.
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: You know, it's too bad.
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: Basically bas of football baseball. It's not. It's not officially
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: because they played soccer there, but yeah, they're not.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: I mean, I definitely don't want to move that to
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: be the.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: Most the most attended game at Bush Stadium this.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: Year, Okay outside of the Dome. What is the biggest
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: football stadium in the City of Saint Louis slash Saint
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: Louis County Because I feel like it would be kind
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: of weird to have those two.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: Teams, not including St. Charles.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: That's why I said now in Clint Charles County is
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: because I feel like it would be kind of weird
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: for well, then play neutral site game as city stadium.
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: They should play it. That would be so cool. That
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: would be We need the leaders of the city of
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: Saint Louis to reach out.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: Because that game at SLEW is gonna be packed.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: It's gonna be so oh my gosh.
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: Like there's good.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: They're gonna have to they're gonna have to deny so
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: many people if they both teams or something, They're gonna
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: to nice so many people.
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: They heavily should consider moving it to a bigger venue.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: I don't know. That would be cool. I'll call it
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: a win win.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you would be cool for SLEW.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: You can understand why, like they they probably really want
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: that home game and they don't want to make it
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: a neutral game, so totally understand.
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: Yeah, but the.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: Whole I mean, for the first time in a while,
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: the whole area is gonna have their eyes on Oakland have.
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: Seriously it will keep it going, Yeah, keep it going.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: I got an announcement this week. It was one week.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Waterloo had a good win over Centralia, that's right, and
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: then how Central they beat Viannie. That was a must
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: win game for them really starting going three, it would
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: have been pretty bad.
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: So yeah, good, good to finally getting the win column
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: right there.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: And then Parkway North had a pretty dominating victory over
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: Parkway Central.
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: It's just no no, they Parkman North played Parkway Central.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: It was a I think they won like forty five seven.
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: It was forty five. Nothing happen to, right, So okay,
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: well that'll do it.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: And I second beat Northwest and by a decent scores,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's all I got on my end too,
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: so all right, that'll do it. This week it was
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: a really fun week to kind of digest and go
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: back and talk about. And uh, I'm not so sure
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: if week four is going to have the same epic proportionists,
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: but you never know. That's what's awesome about high school sport.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: So all right, see you guys, Peace,
