- 30:43[SPEAKER_00]: Join now by Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_00]: Kate rough day, but his here to talk some Westel football and Kate and I have been talking about talking about Westel now for about three weeks, but he hadn't seen him and was going to and didn't get a chance and now he finally has another great win for the Warriors on Friday night, pulling away from North Central to go to 6 and 0.
- 31:13[SPEAKER_00]: Kate really looks like this team's going to go into the postseason on beat.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty awesome to see for Westell.
- 31:19[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's been a quick kind of ascension under under coach Matt Knuckles.
- 31:24[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he took over, I believe it was the 2023 season and they were winless to your before he took over and they won one game his first season as the head coach.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_01]: Now here they are like you said, looking to finish off a potentially undefeated regular season.
- 31:39[SPEAKER_01]: And he looked the last two games on their schedule.
- 31:42[SPEAKER_01]: It looks, you know, pretty likely after this big win over North Central, and that's a team from Farmersburg that made a drive across the state to come and play this game and certainly looked, you know, like a very competitive team had a lot of athletes out there and and gave Westel a pretty good game early.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_01]: It was 2020 to ball game a half time and.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_01]: you know, their offense was moving it.
- 32:04[SPEAKER_01]: West L's defense was getting some stops, but they were also, you know, getting stopped on, on offense as well.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_01]: Second half was 30 to six in West L's favor.
- 32:13[SPEAKER_01]: They really just adjusted that defense and figured out how to get stops and executed well and had some huge plays of their own.
- 32:28[SPEAKER_00]: uh... the disappointment of their last game against Monroe central being uh... being canceled the last three games they've scored fifty points and every single game they're scoring average for the years gone down
- 32:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy.
- 32:40[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the, I don't know what the exact averages or what the exact numbers are, but in my story that I wrote, they're outscoring opponents at something like 325 on the season.
- 32:52[SPEAKER_01]: It's been, you know, really just sheer dominance of the entire schedule.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, they're, they're rackin' up points, they're rackin' up numbers.
- 32:59[SPEAKER_01]: And they're having a lot of fun doing it, too.
- 33:02[SPEAKER_01]: That's the main thing, is that
- 33:04[SPEAKER_01]: You know, these kids, especially these seniors, you know, came into a program where the expectation was zero wins, one win if you were lucky to pull one off.
- 33:13[SPEAKER_01]: And if it was a win, it wasn't going to be pretty.
- 33:15[SPEAKER_01]: I think the one win they got was like six to zero.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_01]: So for them to go from that to what they're doing now as seniors is a very, very cool thing to witness and very cool thing for them to have built up
- 33:35[SPEAKER_00]: And you mentioned Matt Knuckles, the head coach, and you mentioned Zach Gilliam as well.
- 33:40[SPEAKER_00]: And I want you to talk a little more about the personnel from West else, and you've finally got to see him play.
- 33:45[SPEAKER_00]: But I'll tell you what, I've seen him a couple of times on film and riker mock just jumps out at me as a next level player.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely that and that's the thing about WSL said there are three or four different guys who can who can just kill a team on the ground any given night for WSL.
- 34:02[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it happened to be that Gillum on Friday night with.
- 34:07[SPEAKER_00]: And let me guess, Riker Mach was leading the way through the whole because that guy loves to lead block.
- 34:12[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.
- 34:14[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're all on the field at the same time.
- 34:16[SPEAKER_01]: They left their own blocks for each other and even mock he had two touchdowns of his own had a couple of big runs and his first touchdown was it was ridiculous.
- 34:23[SPEAKER_01]: He barreled through two tacklers and they just didn't look like they had a chance of even bringing him down even though they had they had a perfect angle as soon as the contact was made.
- 34:32[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty clear that Riker Mark was not going to go down until he got that ball across the goal.
- 34:38[SPEAKER_01]: But even after those two guys, you got Hayden has it.
- 34:41[SPEAKER_01]: He's a sophomore.
- 34:42[SPEAKER_01]: He's got some wheels.
- 34:43[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he can move out there.
- 34:45[SPEAKER_01]: Had an interception at defensive back that he returned a long ways.
- 34:49[SPEAKER_01]: had a big run to set up a short touchdown run on their first drive.
- 34:54[SPEAKER_01]: So, and then you got Eli Wright, who, unfortunately, he went down with an injury.
- 34:59[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like it was the very last play of the first half, and he got tackled kind of awkwardly, and it looked like his leg or knee got rolled up on under him.
- 35:07[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not sure what happened there.
- 35:09[SPEAKER_01]: He saw him walking around on the sideline, the second half.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't go back into the game, but certainly hoping for the best there.
- 35:18[SPEAKER_01]: But it's, you know, it's a real just kind of foreheaded monster that that they have back there in that backfield and with, you know, the wing T kind of kind of offense that they run it's it's certainly, you know, very nice to have, you know, that many different guys who can, who can make something happen when they get the ball and how willing the rest of them are to to block when they don't have the ball.
- 35:43[SPEAKER_00]: And as we mentioned, almost certainly going to be eight no going into the postseason left our Union County in Cambridge City, two teams that even if West L plays poorly, they're going to beat.
- 35:55[SPEAKER_00]: The question is, can they win that sectional?
- 35:57[SPEAKER_00]: Because I know there are two other good teams in there, and that is night's town and try.
- 36:01[SPEAKER_00]: So does this team feel like they can win a sectional?
- 36:05[SPEAKER_01]: I certainly am getting an air of confidence from from the players and from the coach, but also Coach Knuckles said, after the game, he said they're taking things one day at a time, you know, you got to focus on the next opponent that's right in front of you.
- 36:19[SPEAKER_01]: So they're focused fully on Union County, and they'll worry about the sectional, and potentially win a sectional championship for the first time.
- 36:27[SPEAKER_01]: 50 plus years, you know, they'll worry about that when they get there.
- 36:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's not something that's on the forefront of their mind.
- 36:32[SPEAKER_01]: They're just worried about the opponent in front of them.
- 36:35[SPEAKER_01]: And that's kind of the mentality you got to take as a football team.
- 36:38[SPEAKER_01]: And if they are to go on a run like that,
- 36:43[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, finish this season off with the trophy of some kind, I think one of the big keys as far as, well, we talked about the personnel and how dynamic they are on the ground, but one thing they've really added to their arsenal this year is a passing game, I know what Purdue has been a three year starter at quarterback and hasn't really thrown the ball very much the last two years, I think he had
- 37:07[SPEAKER_01]: 11 completions last year and 12 completions the year before that, but this year they've got a stud receiver, Ryan higher out there who can just get downfield and give him a huge chunk play and and Purdue and him have certainly worked out some great chemistry and Purdue can get him that ball downfield and that's just made them so much more dangerous on offense.
- 37:29[SPEAKER_01]: So in sectionals and the postseason especially you got to have multiple dimensions to your game
- 37:33[SPEAKER_01]: They're certainly going to need to be able to pull off some of those big chunk plays and they've done it at a very high, you know, not a high rate, but when they've, when they've gone for it, it is worked out well for them.
- 37:44[SPEAKER_01]: I saw it happen a couple of times on Friday night and it's definitely interesting to see after watching them just grounded pounded as much as they have the last two years.
- 38:02[SPEAKER_00]: be a big obstacle to get past, but they should.
- 38:06[SPEAKER_01]: They're awfully good.
- 38:08[SPEAKER_01]: And they've done some pretty tough draws in that section.
- 38:11[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they tried the last couple of years.
- 38:13[SPEAKER_01]: And Rose Central has been a very good program.
- 38:17[SPEAKER_01]: South Adams has been in there as well.
- 38:19[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like double over time loss to try central.
- 38:22[SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty good at the time.
- 38:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, they've gotten some tough draws in that section also, but this year I, in my opinion, I certainly think they can potentially make a run and compete for that sectional, but we'll, you know, we'll just have to wait and see it'll be, it'll certainly be interesting to watch and would be quite the accomplishment if they can get it done.
- 38:44[SPEAKER_00]: I saw nights down a couple weeks ago against Eastern Hancock, and they're not bad, so it's going to be tough to get past them and try as well.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_00]: Of course it's eliminated in the last two years, but this team looks different.
- 38:58[SPEAKER_01]: Westel certainly looks a little different and try looks a little different as well.
- 39:02[SPEAKER_01]: I believe one of their star players has been injured.
- 39:05[SPEAKER_01]: So potentially a little bit more vulnerable of a tri-team for them to see.
- 39:11[SPEAKER_01]: And he's just, you never know.
- 39:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, this Westel team has an air of confidence about them and I'm certainly excited to see what they do.
- 39:20[SPEAKER_00]: Kate Ampton, thank you so much again on a very tough day.
