you can listen to us live on Sports Talk fifteen hundred AM ninety nine
0:21
point one FM, a KPGM part of the Green Country Kickoff Show. It's
0:25
our pick Him segment. We're going to be on before the Bruin Games on
0:28
K one. We're also available on podcasts on our website and social media and
0:33
stuff. Guys, good evening, good evening, good evening evening. This
0:36
zero week deal is going to continue to screw me up. It's week one,
0:39
it's week second show. I can't. We got to figure something out.
0:43
We're gonna have to figure out new vernacular. This well, for some
0:45
of our listeners who last week missed out on the show, this pretty good
0:49
show, wasn't it? It was? It was a great show. I
0:52
mean for we, Oh no, it was a great show. We have
0:54
a new we have a new person with this. Craig takes us once again,
0:58
take local legend and my own mind. According to mister Kevin Potter,
1:06
he said, that we needed to step it up this year, and he
1:08
put a little bit of pressure on us, threatened to fire us. We
1:11
threatened to walk out. He said, were jumping off. It was crazy.
1:17
I know, I mean it was pretty radical thing. Yeah. Well,
1:19
since we went out and we got Craig tight. The legend is that
1:25
kind of like the Aaron Rodgers signing for the Jets. It is the most
1:26
part. So there's probably two things. One we tried to strike right,
1:30
yeah, let's and it didn't work out for the guys. Well, speaking
1:37
of the sponsors, thanks to Gateway First Bank for Tailgate Talk and guys,
1:42
we had three games last week. We talked about him earlier in the program,
1:46
but we can mention him again if you're just listening to Tailgate Talk.
1:49
We had a Barnes Doll foil uh sorry, Barnesdall copan a Baker pardon.
1:53
Barnes Doll beat Coping seventy four to forty six. Uh Bahaska, They beat
2:00
Candy Valley eighty two to nothing. And then there was one area game outside
2:06
of that last week. Who am I missing? Now Barzela White third grade
2:09
verse yea, it was Nowata Sorry. I was buried with huge twenty to
2:17
sixteen exactly. We're all we're going We're on great job, No One,
2:21
Iron, great job, Ironman. And I will be the first to tell
2:24
you. I know you guys don't like me, but I'm going to tell
2:27
you right now that was a huge victory over a really good team. And
2:30
so I'm excited about No Water Football. It's a really big win for Nowata.
2:34
So Barnesdall No Wata Bahuska one to oh Copan and Canny Valley are both
2:39
oh and one. And let's go ahead and hop to it. If you
2:42
guys are ready, we number one for the picks. And it is the
2:46
first game up in the state of Kansas as well. Don't forget they only
2:49
play eight games. Kanye is going to be at home against Erie. Bullpups
2:53
have won this game three years in a row. They've shut out Erie each
2:57
of the last two years. When at last year uh twenty eight to nothing.
3:01
Candy Kansas coming off and eight and three season, lost in the third
3:05
round of the two A playoff last year. And I looked this up because
3:07
I don't think I've ever looked it up. I'm not sure how long he's
3:10
been head football coach, but Chris Davis has now been with Candy, Kansas
3:15
coaching in some capacity for thirty seven years. That's incredible, that is and
3:19
has done a phenomenal Yeah. Yeah, They've always had some really good teams
3:23
out there, and as as Revard likes to say, this is their first
3:25
year without the Stapleton boy, and so I don't I don't know much about
3:30
the Candy team, but they're they have really really had several good seasons in
3:35
a row. Yeah. And where exactly is Erie, Kansas? Yea further
3:39
else in southwest southeast can I've been there. It's just somewhere north of Caney,
3:45
Okay, Southeast Quadrant, Yeah, Southeast. Yeah, I'm going remember,
3:54
but the Bullpapps every year start off on fire every year and they come
3:59
out out of the gate. Coach Davis, I mean he must, you
4:02
know, have a great summer program or something, but because every year they
4:05
just come out blowing people out. So gonna take the Bullpups this year.
4:10
Good luck to him. Good luck coach Davis in his thirty seventh year.
4:13
That's incredible. We really thought that they may that they may win the goal
4:17
Ball last year, so that you know, maybe this will be their year
4:20
made it to the third round. You know Chris Davis. I've listened to
4:24
show and he's going thirty seven years. He might quit. Yeah, let's
4:29
wait till the end of the season. Coach area is between Parsons and Chanot.
4:33
Thank you right away. Fifty nine right, it's right never by fifty
4:43
nine. Yeah, it's south of Nebras, all right, okay, next
4:46
ball game at Copan and Welch Hornets of course, lost to Barnes Doll in
4:50
that wild game last week, seventy four to forty six. Game ended at
4:56
like eleven fifty eight. Uh. We were trying to find the school or
5:00
for the scoreboard show and I texted both head coaches and either of them responded,
5:04
and I thought, well, I figured they wouldn't be asleep yet.
5:06
And then I texted Copan boys basketball coach Colton Stacy and he responded eleven forties
5:13
that I just got home and this is a score when I left, and
5:16
I thought, I thought, well, the game was in CoPant. I
5:20
didn't respond. I thought that's weird. And then fifteen minutes later Kylie Sweeney
5:25
said, just ended sent me the score. Incredible thought, man, that's
5:28
crazy. Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. So, Evan, did
5:34
you see the box scores on this game? I know a little of it.
5:39
Yeah, I can share that with the Yeah. So the main highlight
5:43
on the Barnesdall side, Easton malone twenty five carries three hundred and one yards.
5:47
Barnsdall had six hundred and seventy yards rushing in that ball game. Uh,
5:53
you had two kick returns for a touchdown. On the Copan side,
5:57
Cane forming through for two fifteen and two touch downs and Weston Aronic, who
6:00
was they're starting running back, ran for more than two hundred as well.
6:04
Wow. Yeah, to fail with full size, oh it would have been
6:14
Copan is better. And I know that South Coffeeville one fifty to nothing last
6:18
week. I'm sorry that we beat South Coffeeville fifteen and nothing last week.
6:24
This could end up being a really great game. Oh I think so.
6:28
Yeah, I think they've got a lot. I'm taking Copan. Well,
6:30
I think we all hit it on the mark last week. You said that
6:34
they'd be better, it'd be closer, but we all went Barnstall for that
6:38
reason, for the young team that got those reps. Yeah, yeah,
6:41
one hundred percent. I'm going Copan this week. I think you're right,
6:44
guys. Co Pan's got some confidence coming out of this game. I read
6:47
some things about the kids and the kids, you know, we're you know,
6:50
they weren't happy that they got beat. But the effort, they said,
6:53
was there the entire time. So that's why I was curious, was
6:56
was you know, was it seventy four to twenty? And then you know,
7:01
now, yeah, he said that they had the ball Copan did down
7:05
fourteen about midway through the third and then turned it over. And then he
7:10
did say that they I think the last he said, everyone was so tired
7:14
at the end they couldn't tackle or stop anybody. Yeah. So it's just
7:17
like the last four possessions, each team scored in one or two plays.
7:20
Yea. So yeah, it was nine hundred and twenty two degrees to thank
7:25
about that, I know, and you've only got what eighteen guys. Ye.
7:30
Well, I'm going with the let's do it. Yeah. Ye next
7:35
ball game a first game for Wesleyan Christian School Mustang so will start out at
7:40
home against Webber's Falls. The bad news for Wesleyan Christian this offseason Tyroll Cloud
7:46
and a scrimmage against Barnsdall broke his off hand. Uh, he's He's been
7:50
to numerous doctors. Some told him he had to have surgery that put him
7:54
out for the year. They got some second opinions. It does sound like
7:58
they're going to keep that in the cast for three four more weeks and try
8:01
to bring him back. He's a senior, obviously, so that would be
8:05
bad news if he was going to miss that entire season. Kail Steamers,
8:07
who's their number one wide receivers, going to start a quarterback tonight against webbers
8:11
Falls, and the Mustangs have not beat webbers Falls. They've lost to him
8:15
three years in a row, including last year's seventy eight to fifty five loss.
8:20
Webbers Falls finished at six and five year ago, and of course the
8:22
Mustangs went ten and two. Moving Kill Steamers to quarterback, that's the obvious
8:26
choice. He's that kid is a gamer, he's a player. Yeah,
8:31
he's an athlete. It's gonna be tough with with Cloud not in there and
8:35
playing quarterback. And then and then Evan they also lost their start and running
8:39
back. He transferred to Bordlesville, So it's gonna take them some time to
8:45
jail and come together. I'm gonna have to take Webber's falls in this one.
8:50
It's gonna they're gonna have to go through some growing pains here. Well,
8:54
I'm glad I'm not going to be the first one pick against a local
8:56
team. But yeah, for of those exact same reasons that she said,
9:01
Webber's Falls. Has got a really good program. They're a winning program Westland
9:07
for those reasons. Losing the quarterback, losing the running back. I think
9:09
it's I think it's gonna take a little little time. I think making the
9:13
adjustment the quarterback is a great move. I think you put an athlete back
9:16
there being resting to see if it's a ground attack or if it's going to
9:20
be a throwing attack. But either way, you've got an athlete back there,
9:24
which is great. But I am gonna go Webber's Falls, not me.
9:28
Wesleyan Christian. I like Kale Seemers a lot, and you know,
9:33
coming off ten and two not losing a ton, you know, the school
9:39
is growing in size, and so I can only assume that their program is
9:43
growing, and I like what I've seen the last couple of years. I
9:48
don't know much about them on defense or anything like that, nor do I
9:52
know much about Webber's falls. But until they prove me wrong. Coming off
9:56
ten and two, I'm I'm going with the local team. That's good.
10:00
I hope they wait to show us up. Please do well. You're listening
10:03
to Tailgate Talk here Bartlesville Radio. Internet. If you're listening on the internet,
10:09
you're listening a lot of different places. As we get set for week
10:13
number one of the high school football season, we've done Kenny, Kansas,
10:16
Erie, Copan, Welch, Wesley, and Christian revers Fall. So let's
10:20
go to another eight man game or final eight man game. Barnsdall at home
10:24
against Foyle Panthers home opener Barnes Doll one to oh mentioned that seventy four forty
10:30
six win against Copan and they shut out Foil a year ago forty forty nothing.
10:35
Foyle also want to know they have a ten point win over Claremore Christian.
10:39
Who is Claremore Christian? Is this another It's in Claremore, it's a
10:43
little Christian school and it's I'm so glad we brought the logic expert in where
10:52
this show was going really the wrong direction and idiot good No, it seems
11:01
like every year we just keep adding schools that we have no I know Claremore
11:05
has more schools per capital than any Christians. Pretty sure, it's unbelievable.
11:13
I think they would have one high school, there'd be more than Broken Arrow.
11:18
Wow. I'm gonna start off by telling you guys, you know again,
11:24
seventy four points is bananas. Their kids are gonna be in shape,
11:26
especially without their quarterback. And so I'm taking the fighting stashes. I mean,
11:33
all of a sudden, we went from not being sure about the fighting
11:35
stashes this year because of some losses to uh, I'm riding them all the
11:39
way once again. When the boys get those mustaches trimmed up and let's let's
11:46
go get that gold ball this year, Fellas, I'm not scared scared,
11:52
putting it lightly, I'm terrified. So if we come in next week with
11:56
a mustache, I believe I'll walk right out. That's great, I agree,
12:03
And plus it's gonna be cooler. Instead of three hundred one yards,
12:05
he might have four hundred and fifty, right, So yeah, I'm going
12:09
Barnstall. I think it's gonna be a really big win for him, and
12:13
I think they keep the momentum gone. I'm going Barnstall for two reasons.
12:18
One, I think they're pretty good. Yeah, I really do. I
12:20
mean, you scored that many points. And with coach Sweeney, you know,
12:26
he's he's gonna fix the special team stuff, you know, scoring two
12:30
touchdown kick return he's gonna fix that mess. But my second reason is Foyle
12:37
just beat Clairemore Claire Moore Christian twenty two to twelve, a team that we
12:41
have no idea who they are or anything about. Foyle can't be that good.
12:46
Yes, I mean, let's be all, they cannot be that good.
12:48
They found some We went down to the local church and said, hey,
12:52
you guys want to play football nine. That's what happened. So that's
12:58
a good reason. Real quick, since both of you coached, if you
13:01
had two kick returns for touchdowns against a team that you were coaching, I'm
13:07
guessing that would be the very first thing that you went out and worked on.
13:11
That next minute, absolutely you would not, and probably the entire practice
13:16
was gonna be running and defending kicks. Well, let's be honest, so
13:20
let's look at it from logical coaching. Here we go. If you're running
13:24
backs are running for that many yards, you don't put them on kick We're
13:28
gonna look at you mean, my gea, I need a break. Yeah,
13:33
So I bet they're on kickoff this week. Put your athlates on kickoff
13:37
and let them go tackle or just on side kick it every time. Yeah.
13:41
Did you ever score seventy four points as a coach? No? I
13:43
don't think so. No, did you ever give up seventy four points as
13:46
a coach? Now the fact that I think about that, it's not good
13:52
Clare that could have Let's also not forget Eastern Malone is a pretty good shot
13:58
to go five hundred yards for the season on September one tonight. If you
14:03
can get two hundred yards, he would go over five hundred yards for the
14:07
season tonight. I mean, I think there's a pretty legitimate shot could happen
14:13
than five hundred yards when we sit here next week and talking about that for
14:16
the year. In fact, I will take that bet. I'll take the
14:18
over. Okay, I would take I would Yeah, I think unless they
14:24
just don't play. Yeah, Yeah, let's go to Kenny Valley at home
14:28
against Haskell mentioned eighty two to nothing Bahaska over the Trojans last week. It's
14:33
Haskell's season openers, So Kenny Valley's oh and one. This was a pretty
14:37
close game a year ago thirty six, twenty three, Haskell won it at
14:39
home. It's the Haymakers Hamaker, the Haskell Haymaker. Well, I played
14:46
with a guy from Haskel, did you really as Lashawn Johnson? Yeah,
14:50
and went on to play at Northern Illinois, was in the Heisman voting,
14:54
led the nation in Russian played. Oh yeah, Leshawn john would pluck.
14:58
He showed up but neeo at one hundred and forty five pounds. Wow.
15:01
But that cowboy is what we call him. But that he's true makers,
15:05
he's haymaker. Now he wasn't real tough, all right, but yeah he
15:11
went to Northern Illinois and led the nation and rushing finishing sis awesome and uh
15:18
and then went on the NFL. Okay, he's no Haskell Haymaker. So
15:20
are you taking the Haskell Haymakers just because of Leshon? I think so?
15:26
And yeah, And after losing eighty two, nothing I got. That's no
15:30
good. Yeah, I think that mentally that's tough to come back. It
15:35
might take a couple of weeks to kind of really get some things on her.
15:39
And we kind of know that there's some young players down there and they're
15:41
coached, well, they've got a good program. But I think I'm gonna
15:45
go with Haskell. Yeah, I'm going hash SkELL. Well, it's it's
15:48
tough to judge, you know, Kenny Valley. Right now, we can't
15:52
cider and say, Okay, they're a season they're going to be terrible the
15:54
whole season, because that's I mean, they played a really really good Husker
16:00
somebody scores seventy eighty four points on it and shut you out. You know,
16:03
coach Heennessy did not do that on purpose. I can tell you that.
16:07
No, No, he's not that type of person. No, but
16:10
there's nothing to gain for them to do that over exactly, not over them,
16:14
not over them. I mean, it's just not gonna happen. And
16:18
and more than likely those kids went in there going this is really going to
16:22
be a challenge for us to beat beat Pasca. But I think they gotta
16:26
they understand they got a chance against Haskell. I think it's gonna be a
16:30
much closer game. That's a pretty good bet, right sure, Yeah,
16:33
No, I'm not bet to get Yeah, I've never take to Haskell.
16:41
Haymakers as well. The classes don't seem fair Plaska and Canny Valley. That
16:45
doesn't seem like it just doesn't every time. Don't seem equitable. No,
16:51
I know, I know Canny Valley is a much smaller school than Paska.
16:55
Yeah. Yeah, and it's a number scame. No, I agree completely,
16:57
it is. I thought the same thing. Yep, so Kenny Valley
17:02
and Haskell and that should be a good one tonight. Again, you're listening
17:04
to Tailgate Talk previewing high school football Northeast Oklahoma. Evan far back, Chris
17:08
Reevard, Chris Batchelder, Craig Tate with you. Hopefully your Friday is going
17:14
well. Next ball game, season opener for Oklahoma Union Cougars are at home
17:17
against wind Dot. This was the closest game that Oklahoma Union played a season
17:22
ago. They lost to wind Out on the road twenty two to fourteen.
17:26
Have most everyone back off that team that went oh and ten wind Dot coming
17:30
off a two and eight season a year ago. Okay, the Cougars.
17:33
I think I picked him every single game you did last year. Every mon
17:37
this is our week. We're gonna win eleven in a row. At some
17:42
point in time they have to win. Yeah, and I feel this is
17:45
my best opportunity to win is to beat the wind out black Bears. All
17:48
right right here, okay, knowing nothing, being the first game for both,
17:55
I'm going with you. That's all I can do is go Oklahoma Union.
17:59
Yeah, I'm still stuff that you knew? Why not Black Bears?
18:02
Oh absolutely? How you know? Hey, I'm a trap. I gotta
18:04
tell you something. This. You can quiz this guy on mascots and you
18:07
will never drink him. Never Black Bears. That's Mark Lippy Tu play tied
18:15
end Tu b dou when t u batu. He was tied end in that
18:19
game called touchdown pass and he wow, and he's now he's a superintendent to
18:26
their public schools. But you didn't know what Christian was. I mean,
18:30
it doesn't exist. It's the street doctor, but it's I'm a school.
18:37
Come on, so now we figured out fremwork. Christian is not a school,
18:41
it's the church down the streets. Hey, whore you're taking? I
18:44
am going to Oklahoma Union. I think in the experience at the game last
18:47
year, and uh so I think you'll be ten to one. I'll be
18:51
one and oh with our picks. So all right, now we move Evan
18:56
into the broadcast games. This is the exciting stuff right here. Yeah.
18:59
Yeah, these are the three games we'll have on the radio tonight and the
19:02
one on Sports Talk fifteen hundred AM ninety nine point one FM, KPGM video
19:07
coverage, KPGMTV dot com. Bajaska at Cashing. This was a ballgame that
19:15
I think coach Tennessee scheduled because he was uh displeased with those two semi final
19:21
losses in the Class A playoffs in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. They
19:25
missed out and going to a state championship game to the eventual state champion by
19:29
a combined five points, and then they came back and beat him last year
19:33
in Bajuska forty to twenty nine. Cashing ended up going four and seven throughout
19:37
the year and they lost fifty nine to nothing. Cashing did against Rejoyce Christian
19:42
a week ago. What are the What's Cashing Cougars, Cashing Tigers? Oh
19:48
yeah, did you just make that up? Maybe so, but I think
19:52
they're that sounds right. See if he says he again tates here to enlighten
19:59
me on something for your world, for your word, all these years and
20:07
I could I never tested you well that's your fault. Well, I'm just
20:11
Wildcats Tigers same. Well, I'm taking I'm taking the Huskies all the way
20:18
here. I think they impressed us last week. You never know against a
20:22
team like Canny Valley, but I'm with you there. They've got some vengeance
20:27
still against Cashing that they're looking to unload and and proven proven a few things,
20:33
and so I think I think the Huska's gonna whoop them. I was
20:37
at both those games and that Cash and beat them yea in the semis and
20:40
and oh man, it was heartbreaking. Yeah, I mean they should have.
20:45
Huska was up on them late and they end up getting beat Anyways,
20:49
that's in the past. Tennessee said I'm gonna play you till I beat you
20:52
beat him last year, and he's gonna beat them again this year. You
20:56
know, Cash I had their little run, that little runs over. So
21:00
it's just small town football, what we say, Bobcats. Yeah, they're
21:07
going you know, and I know Kenny Valley isn't as good probably as they
21:11
were last year. But you know, if you remember a year ago,
21:14
Bahaska, I think they're only up twenty one nothing on Kenney Valley at halftime.
21:17
It was twenty eight seven something like that. It wasn't a blowout and
21:21
that ball game it was seventy eight nothing at halftime. Goodness last week or
21:26
maybe seventy six, I don't remember. But regardless, I think Bohuska has
21:32
a chance to be every bit as good as they were last year. I
21:34
know some people probably think they'll take a step back without having a Drummond at
21:37
quarterback, but they still love some dudes. They still love some dude and
21:41
they're in a really tough dish for play. Yeah, yeah, he's good.
21:45
Yeah, he's a player. He's a player. And Stephen Mitchell,
21:48
Kenny Valley's head coach. He mentioned, you know they've played them a couple
21:51
years in a row now. He said their offensive defensive lines were much improved
21:56
this year versus last year. He thought, so anyway, Bahuska and Cash
22:00
tonight should be fun. Lonnie tie all the way I knew he would.
22:04
Lonnie tile off just on the call tonight, six thirty pre games, seven
22:07
o'clock kick in Cashing, just north of Oakland, and I'm sitting out.
22:11
Evan talked about the offensive line, the defensive I know that really what what
22:15
wins ball games. Well, defensive line. Last year's boy, it was
22:18
a big that was a big weakness for last year and everybody knew it because
22:22
they lost a whole bunch of them two years ago and they were really really
22:26
young last year and coach Tennessee talked about it all year long. But you
22:29
know, we're gonna have to grow up, Fron and that was one of
22:33
their weaknesses. So you know them kids are a year older. Yep.
22:36
Good, big difference. Probably the matchup throughout the area tonight and Dewey,
22:41
No Wada and Dewey battle for the Adam Hooper Trophy. Can you believe this
22:45
is the seventh year? I can't believe it they played that since after after
22:53
my partner in crime who started this show. Adam Hooper was the original host
22:59
and it was his eye idea to do this program for for kickoff show on
23:03
KPGM. So anyway, that the awesome that they named the game after him
23:07
and no Wada and Dewey. When he was here, he called it Northeast
23:11
Oklahoma's version of Bedlam. Twelve wins each for each side. Since nineteen ninety
23:15
nine, Dewey has won seven in a row. Most of those have been
23:18
quite lopsided. Last time Nowada won this game was in twenty fifteen. Ironman
23:23
one and Ozero for the first time since twenty sixteen. Following me there twenty
23:27
to sixteen win at Chelsea last week, Dewey did not get to play their
23:30
game against Miama because of the heat. A couple of things. Number One,
23:36
how sad is it that ten twelve years from now there's gonna be kids
23:41
that when you mentioned bedlam to them, they're gonna say, what's bedlam?
23:44
I don't know what happens? Pretty crazy and there sucks. Yeah. Number
23:47
Two, I have no idea who to take in this game. No Water
23:52
shocked me last week and Dewey didn't play, and so no Water is better
23:56
man, And I don't know. I'm gonna take the Bulldoggers in honor of
24:03
my old friend Chris Reevard to win the Adam Hooper Trophy. But I'm telling
24:07
you, guys, that's gonna be a game. Are you going yes?
24:11
Yeah, I'm actually gonna go up that's part of that, and then go
24:12
to Bartlesville part of theirs. I'm guessing it's gonna be a really good game.
24:17
I think you're right. I don't I think that Dewey is more athletic.
24:23
Yeah, I am really concerned about them not playing last week or scrimmaging
24:29
nothing. They haven't done nothing in two weeks. Fellas, I don't know
24:32
what. I played a full game in the heat. There is a huge
24:37
difference, a big difference. Coach Tito here, he can he can tell
24:44
you if this is true or not. But your biggest improvement is from your
24:47
first scrimmage to your second scrimmage. Well, they don't have that. Yeah,
24:51
they didn't get that. Yeah, so that's gonna be that's at all.
24:56
During the preseason, they had one scrimmage and they haven't done anything since.
25:00
Well, and like coach Tate mentioned last week, I played this,
25:02
I rewent, I pulled up the streaming and played this for a couple of
25:06
people about the game speed. You know a lot of these kids from Nowada
25:10
that haven't had a chance to get a lot of minutes. They've done that
25:14
now and so they've with confidence. They've hit some guys and they've been hit
25:18
and they and they're ready now and they they're gonna be a little more tuned
25:22
in. Yeah, the Bulldogers, they've they've got some athletes who got a
25:26
new quarterback. The youngest Moner boy is stepping in for his brother playing quarterback.
25:30
He isn't. He's an athlete, very similar to his brother. I
25:34
mean, and he can run around and he's probably gonna have to. I
25:40
think they're a little inexperienced up front. They've got a kid playing running back.
25:45
His last name is Masters. They've got several running backs, but I
25:48
think their main daughter is a kid named Masters. He's a junior this year.
25:52
He's a pretty good player, he could play. Got a couple of
25:55
really good receivers. Got one big tall kid. I can't remember his name,
25:59
Evan. Do you remember Bring? He's a senior this year, you
26:02
know, But well he's a good one. He's got some height and I
26:06
think he's like six two sixty three and can run a little bit. That
26:08
the kid that had a game last year where he caught like fifteen or eighteen
26:12
passes, yes, two hundred fifty yards. Yeah, that's him. And
26:15
I think he's also a a state champion. Uh shoot what he wins jump?
26:23
No hurdles? He won the one ten hurdles, Yes he did.
26:27
And he's a stud. But they've also got a kid named Easton Davis.
26:33
Fellas that that he's going to be a sophomore. He's like a West Welker
26:36
type kid. He is quick and get open place the number two receiver.
26:41
Kid can play. And here's the name for you. This is gonna this
26:44
is gonna surprise you boys. We have a Lynch. Yeah, I was
26:48
gonna how about that? And the kid can plays. Yeah, he's impressive.
26:57
We've just trying to get Lynch to bring no nuts in here on Friday.
27:02
Absolutely, But I mean, kid loves it. Kid loves it,
27:07
and good looking kids work hard. And so he is going to he's gonna
27:12
be the captain of that defense. And so they're gonna be better. Yeah,
27:17
for sure, Bulldogers are going to be better. Now, this is
27:21
kind of spooky going into game like this. Bulldogers are coming in with confidence
27:25
to win the game because they beat him for you know, however many years
27:29
in a row and and so seven that's great, seven years in a row.
27:33
So I think being at new he does help. That helps a lot.
27:37
Yeah, it does. It's gonna be a great game. But in
27:41
the end, Bulldogers are gonna they're gonna win this. Again. That is
27:44
a heck of a scouting. That was a breakdown that was following that.
27:48
You see why I jumped in and went first, Wow, I don't even
27:51
know. Well, uh, it's good that country's got to sign out.
27:56
So of course, of course I grew up with Kevin and we played football
28:00
together from seventh grade on. And I am concerned with the with the the
28:06
points you brought up with the playing Because you get a couple of scrimmages,
28:12
you can make a lot of adjustments. You make more adjustments after your first
28:17
game and you really start seeing some things in a full game that a scrimmage
28:22
doesn't show. You sure that you can improve on. Chelsea is a good
28:26
football team. I am actually gonna go with Nowata. I think seven years
28:30
in a row, I think, no, wat, it's got some momentum.
28:34
I think they've got more time underneath their belt this year. And also
28:38
at the end of the day, Chelsea was a pretty good football team,
28:42
but they beat So I am gonna go Nowata. And you don't you know,
28:47
Craig is a big thing. Is special teams live? Special teams?
28:51
Yeah you know that they haven't seen it? No, yeah at all.
28:53
You have seen nothing and you don't really do that in scrimmages. And you
28:57
don't. You don't even us, you know, extra points at least in
29:00
the scrimmage you line them up. Yeah, you know, you get two
29:03
guys out here, you get used to that stuff. And now you're over
29:07
there going. I promise you to Craig's point, I promise you Dowey did
29:11
not want to see no wah to do what they did to Chelsea this week.
29:15
That's true. They're they're nervous about it. Yeah, it's gonna be
29:18
a great game. It's gonna be a great game. Yep. Final game
29:22
we'll pick here on tailgate talk will be Bartlesville and Claremore six the year in
29:26
a row these two have played to begin the season. Bartlesville, if they
29:30
could win tonight, would win five of those six spruns or seven and one
29:34
all time against Claremore. Claremore should be improved, though, if you remember
29:38
two years ago they only won two games. They came back with basically the
29:42
same group and won five games last year, and that same group is back
29:47
again this season. So they started a bunch of sophomores and they've kind of
29:51
progressively taken some steps forward. Lost to Kwita by a touchdown and a scrimmage
29:56
tied with Wagner. Those are two good ball games. And year ago this
30:00
was kind of the coming out party for p J. Wallace had one hundred
30:03
and ninety two yards rushing. Damian Nico had two touchdowns, had a pick
30:07
six and a receiving touchdown as well, and Bartlesville would win by a couple
30:11
of scores at Claremore and the Bruins get them at home tonight. Again.
30:15
A couple of things. Number one, not only did Damien Nico have a
30:21
game ending interception that he decided to go ahead and return down the paucas City
30:26
sideline instead of just downing, which led to a quite an on field scrum
30:33
and conversation. I'm putting that in air quotes between the two coaches. You
30:37
know that guy at Pauca's psychopath and Tate. Tate and Rebard both love him,
30:45
and so that was that was an interesting but but I'm telling you Nico's
30:49
a player number two. You guys, you guys, let's make a lot
30:52
of burger bet on this. I'll bet PJ. Wallace goes over one ninety
30:57
two this year. He had one night two last year. I'll bet he
31:00
has more this year. More than that. You talk about a coming out
31:03
party. And I'm just basing this on what I saw in the scrimmages.
31:07
That kid is legit and the way he's running this year. So last year
31:11
he was Last year he was running with speed and you know motion. This
31:18
year he's running with power and he's There were a couple of times in that
31:22
ponk of scrimmage where he was putting his hand on the side of somebody's helmet
31:26
and just throwing them off of him, and I like it. And so
31:30
I'm I'm all the way behind this kid. I'm I'm looking for another coming
31:33
out party. Yeah, well, I think the Bruins. I'm taking the
31:37
Bruins obviously. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well, first off, if
31:42
we have any claremor listeners on the way over, and we want to congratulate
31:48
coach Hurt, Claire Moore's head football coach. He was just inducted to the
31:52
Oklahoma Coach Association Hall of Fames. Awesome, so we want to congratulate him.
31:56
Congratulates daddy is also football coach is Hall of Fame. So congratulations coach
32:01
Coach Hurt. They are bringing back a but a lot of kids off that
32:06
team and they're gonna be well coached. I fully anticipate coach Hurt loading the
32:10
box, manning up and saying, you know, if you're gonna beat us,
32:14
Pj's not gonna beat us, throw the ball. You're gonna have to
32:16
throw it to somebody and beat us. So I fully anticipate that. So
32:22
I think it is going to be another close game. It is at home
32:24
for the Bruins, so that's the reason I will be taking the Bruins tonight.
32:29
Yeah. So I think the last time that Bartlesville lost to clare Moore,
32:34
I think that was my last year coaching varsity. So obviously, yeah,
32:38
obviously taking Bartlesville. But I think for I think Bartlesville is gonna start
32:45
surprising a lot of people. I think the experience that those that senior class
32:51
has is gonna be I mean, we saw the difference between Wallace last year
32:57
and his first scrimmages this year. I mean he's starting to really be that
33:00
senior runner, strong power. Nico obviously is a great player quarterback. Now
33:06
it's got a lot more reps. I'm in, you know, wait a
33:09
year now, full year in the end in the rights, wait, weight
33:14
program and training and summer two summers now, Yeah, I think we are
33:19
going I'm excited to watch the game. I want to see the toughness that
33:22
I think Coach Wright has brought to this program. Uh, there's no doubt
33:28
coach right, No one's gonna outwork him. Yeah, and now his team
33:31
has bought in with a year. I think Barsoo wins by a couple of
33:36
three touchdowns to be honestly, Yeah, yeah, and I would take the
33:38
over on Wallace. I bet you has a big game, just whether or
33:43
not they run him for four quarters. Well, and don't forget you know,
33:45
just from a numbers standpoint, Clare Moore has had to split you know,
33:50
numbers once again with another school. Yeah. Hey, the biggest thing
33:57
I've noticed about over the last two years at more of the since Coachwright got
34:02
there, is the toughness, the mental toughness of those kids. You know,
34:07
they're not letting people push them around anymore. You know, I used
34:10
to punk City come over here and maulof push kids. They just walk off.
34:15
But you know, you don't want to see your kids doing undisciplined stuff.
34:17
But flip side of that, you want them sticking up for themselves.
34:22
Yeah, in the right way. With the mental toughness and playing between the
34:25
whistles and EI they're doing it the right way. It's a little thing called
34:29
swag. You can have swag between the whistles, right, but you can
34:34
carry yourself different. And that's what I'm seeing with the attitude. And I
34:37
think last year, in year one, he was trying to kind of put
34:39
that mentality in place. What that led to was some occasions, several occasions
34:46
with some you know, unsportsmanlike penalties and things like that. Some kids got
34:52
suspended a couple of times. And so I think you transition this year into
34:57
you carry you carry that with your with your on field presence and and you
35:01
don't have to show your tough by mouth and offense. So yeah, I'm
35:06
with you guys. All Right, guys, that's week number one in the
35:08
books. Should be a great weekend of football weekend. Let's everybody be safe.
35:13
Let's come back here next week and talk about some great games and and
35:15
bars. All third grade is off this. Oh yeah, let's talk about
35:19
the weekend. Everybody's off. Everybody's off. That's great. Well, congrats
35:34
on the twenty seven oh victory. That's a big deal. How did it
35:37
so? So real? Quickly? Give us a little bit of insight.
35:39
How how did it look? Was it through the air? On the ground,
35:43
Well, this was I tell you. The biggest concerned from the kids
35:47
is how much their feet hurt. Oh the hot fleets. Oh, those
35:53
poor kids. We had to bring extra water in because absolutely from let's get
36:00
some ice buckets out there for the boys. Guys, come on, and
36:04
it was hot. They played well, uh Saint Springs, you know it
36:07
was twenty seven nothing and uh did you put in the classic wing tea in
36:12
honor of coach Rebard? I mean what? Oh? No, we were
36:14
spread? Oh wow, okay, even we even go empty. It's a
36:21
angles one. They go empty and run draw. Nope, we go four
36:25
by one and we go on first snap and the quarterback takes it, call
36:29
it the bandit, and he's got four Johnny Kane, little Johnny Kane.
36:32
Now this is actually set up for a gun or Sutherland. Okay, all
36:36
right, bigger kids, Okay, a little bit faster, but it's so
36:37
funny. They have no chance to set up. You go, you go
36:42
four wides. Yeah, it's on the same side. Yeah, that's a
36:45
formation. Brilliant h R, Y and Z and uh we go on first
36:51
sound so they don't have and then we just mash everything we need to do.
36:55
The old ou Ninja offense where they lined four guys up just standing in.
37:00
Well, I'm might look at that too. It's youth football, that's
37:02
right. All right, Well, let's go boys, Let's have a good
37:05
weekend. You're look everybody. Thanks again, everybody, and thanks the Gateway
