0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>He's covering it all and he's kind enough to check

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>in early night before the games gate going. That would

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.119
<v Speaker 1>be Greg Shoemaker. How are you, guys.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:10.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm wonderful. I'm sitting here in the Anderson's broadcast booth tonight.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 3>This is their three hundred and eighty eighth game that

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 3>they're broadcasting. They are on USBN Sports dot Com tonight

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>and you can listen to that audio. The game is gooring, dude, guys.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 4>Say hi, hey, fellas.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 3>They warm up here, but down on the field, it's

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 3>a little bit better than last year. It's cold, but

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 3>there's no snow, there's no blustery win. In fact that

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 3>the wins on the goalpost look totally dead right now.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Anderson came out in their orange pans from two thousand

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>and seven replicas that they were wearing, white shirts and

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 3>black helmets. They look sharp tonight. A lot of a

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 3>lot of tension in this room and with the guys,

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I feel like they're prepared. But man, it's an Avon

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 3>team that's been a powerhouse. In the last six sixteen

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>years under coach Mike Elder, they won ten ten games

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 3>or more then too, they won eight regional titles in

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 3>the last nine years. This is their third straight state

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 3>championship game. Obviously, they won it last year over Anderson

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty to thirteen in that snow, snow driven, blustery night

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 3>up here on that Thursday. So a lot of work

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 3>for Anderson to do tonight. The boy, I like your

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 3>chances on a drive field for sure.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Let me backtrack a little bit before we get into

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night as well.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>This is for those who don't know.

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>And you sent us notes earlier, and I looked at

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it and I said, holy cow, because I knew. I

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>knew of your commitment and your longevity covering all days,

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was the extent that it is.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>This is what year for you covering the state championship games?

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, I started in two thousand and nine. This is

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 3>my thirty ninth state championship.

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Game I've covered.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>The first one was Winton Woods back in two thousand

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 3>and nine. They played a Faithful Heights team over at

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Masslin Tiger Stadium, and it was Shaq Washington was the

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Maple Heype quarterback on that team. He went on to

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 3>UC as a junior and that team went on to

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 3>become UT's all time leading receiver. Yeah, think he's now

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 3>the head coach over there at Maple Heights. But Dominique

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Brown back then had a night of Knights, and it

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 3>was a lot different then than it was it is now.

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, thirty nine of these now for.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Me, unbelievable.

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>And before we get to say next tomorrow, another thought

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>on on Anderson and Avon and obviously revenge and rematch

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>part of this scenario. But that's an Anderson team that

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>scores a lot of points, and that's an Eagles defense

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't give up many points, does it.

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean this is really the fun part of

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 3>this game tonight. Anderson gives or scores forty four points

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 3>a game, and they scored forty ninety points for more

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 3>seven times in the first eight games, but haven't scored

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 3>more than forty two over the last six weeks though.

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 3>But Owen scaff the quarterbacks thrown for forty five hundred

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 3>yards and thirty nine touchdowns. It's also run for six

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 3>hundred and forty yards and seven scores as well. The

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Raptors have seven guys with at least seventy one receptions

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 3>on this team, two guys over one thousand yard and

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 3>then Georgan Davis. Their running backs got six hundred yards

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>rushing and twenty one touchdowns rushing, as well as seventy

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 3>one balls caught for seven hundred and sixteen yards. So

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean this team, they come at in a lot

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>of drums, and they got another kid on the team

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 3>that's got like forty five or fifty receptions too, So

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're gonna come at you tonight and they're

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 3>gonna have the opportunity to really spread the ball with

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 3>this weather. So, uh yeah, it's cold, but man, I

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 3>really like what they're doing. However, you know this Avon

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Eagles defense. They give up just twelve points a game,

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 3>and their front seven has been really hillacious all season long.

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Lamp Stosslin, Ryan Stlarski, and big man how cup Run.

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 3>He's a six foot three, three pound guy. He anchors

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 3>both sides of their line. And then they got a

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 3>guy in their second Dary Witherspoon. He's committed to North Carolina.

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 3>He had ten tackles in this team last year. So

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 3>their defense is tight. It's really It's gonna be a

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 3>fun game, for sure, but I think this is a

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 3>game you're gonna you You're probably going to see the

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 3>over in this game for sure, all right.

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 4>And then tomorrow Greg a big, gigantic matchup Saint Xavier

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 4>v Owen Tangy Orange on On Tangi is undefeated. Saint

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Xavier's won seven in a row. And if you told

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 4>me mid season, after losing back to back Mueller the

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 4>Elder that this team would be in the state title game,

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't have believed you. As much as I know

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 4>and loves Saint Xavier. But they've really got it together.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 4>The teams they've beat greg combined sixty to twenty eight,

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 4>so they've beaten some good teams. And of course Olin

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 4>Tangi their quarterback. Levi Davis, he was a Mister Ohio finalist.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 4>I think I've heard a lot of people comparing to

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Kaynestapp the kid from Elder. It can run around a lot,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 4>also a good thrower. How you seeing this one?

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Levi? This Levi kid for Olind Tangi, he's been

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 3>really good, Levi Davis, he's going to hire you. Actually,

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, Rogie made Gretch a great comparison. He's very

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 3>much like the quarterback at Ohio right now. Can run

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 3>through to Watson guy. The thing I like to have

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 3>the same favorite team is that they've got Aiden Reider

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 3>and they've got Kobe Clapper. They're guys that can spy

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 3>on Levi Davis and really contain him and make him

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 3>just corral him. Both. Either one of those guys can

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 3>do it. I like that match up there. However, only

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Orange defense has been awesome, holding thirteen their fourteen victims

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.559
<v Speaker 3>to seventeen points or less, the other one to twenty

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 3>one points. They give up just nine points six points

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 3>a game, and you know that's that plays into their

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 3>favor with an X offense who has had trouble running

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 3>the football at like three yards of carry this year.

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>So they're gonna have to have to get it done

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 3>and establish a run in every possession for Saint X

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 3>is gonna be They're gonna need to cherish it and

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>make the most out of every one of those because

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they're not gonna get many of them in

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 3>this game. But I've been to to I think this

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 3>game's gonna be the under in points scored. It's not

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 3>going to be a high scoring game at all. But yeah,

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.799
<v Speaker 3>I mean, containing Davis is a top priority for Bomber's

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 3>defense for sure.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Greg Maya and looking at a map today, I see Cincinnati.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Unrelated question of the game, but one I'm interested in

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts. I see Cincinnati to Canton, two hundred and

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty four miles about three and a half hours. Do

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you ever foresee a day where this becomes a more

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of a rotational Canton Columbus Cincinnati type thing for the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>state finals.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 3>No. No, the way that the Hall of Fame is now,

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean this place is a spectacle. They want the

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 3>seven games up here, they want fourteen teams coming here.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this place is beautiful. Now. I'm looking out

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 3>from this press box and there is this whole like

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>pat concourse and patio leading into the whole Hall of

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Fame village. This wasn't like this years ago. Yeah, this

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>is this is not going to move from here anytime soon.

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.080

<v Speaker 3>postgame wrap up. Another thing I got going out there

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 3>on TS on Twitter today, I just put out a

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 3>TSF Storytellers with Danny Milligan Milligan excuse me, Danny Milligan

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 3>from the State X two thousand and five and two
