Speaker 1: Six thirty nine, seven hundred WL sin a tax resolution
Speaker 1: power by Toe showed in Roundtable Show is by a
Speaker 1: Postman law brought to you in part by ever Dry Waterproofing.
Speaker 2: It's not dry till it's ever dry.
Speaker 1: Nobody tell Rocky who the rumored new coach of Iowa was,
Speaker 1: or uh, I just screwed it up of who oh,
Speaker 1: Penn State's gonna be because I was quizy break I
Speaker 1: was close, so I said Jason Kandell.
Speaker 2: But it's West State.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the latest rumor. All right, Uh, let's
Speaker 1: talk to some high school foot.
Speaker 2: I feel like they were screwing anyway. We'll get in, Yes,
Speaker 2: we'll get it.
Speaker 1: Sorry you hear our next guest on Friday nights on
Speaker 1: the award winning high School Football Tonight show, Fox Sports
Speaker 1: thirteen sixty. This week you read him as the content
Speaker 1: manager of Tri State Football dot Com.
Speaker 2: He's in heaven.
Speaker 1: The next two days he's on this or hell, depending
Speaker 1: on the Weather's your things.
Speaker 2: Like seventeen, he's on the seat in Canton.
Speaker 1: He's covering it all and he's kind enough to check
Speaker 1: in early night before the games gate going. That would
Speaker 1: be Greg Shoemaker. How are you, guys.
Speaker 3: I'm wonderful. I'm sitting here in the Anderson's broadcast booth tonight.
Speaker 3: This is their three hundred and eighty eighth game that
Speaker 3: they're broadcasting. They are on USBN Sports dot Com tonight
Speaker 3: and you can listen to that audio. The game is gooring, dude, guys.
Speaker 4: Say hi, hey, fellas.
Speaker 3: They warm up here, but down on the field, it's
Speaker 3: a little bit better than last year. It's cold, but
Speaker 3: there's no snow, there's no blustery win. In fact that
Speaker 3: the wins on the goalpost look totally dead right now.
Speaker 3: Anderson came out in their orange pans from two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven replicas that they were wearing, white shirts and
Speaker 3: black helmets. They look sharp tonight. A lot of a
Speaker 3: lot of tension in this room and with the guys,
Speaker 3: I feel like they're prepared. But man, it's an Avon
Speaker 3: team that's been a powerhouse. In the last six sixteen
Speaker 3: years under coach Mike Elder, they won ten ten games
Speaker 3: or more then too, they won eight regional titles in
Speaker 3: the last nine years. This is their third straight state
Speaker 3: championship game. Obviously, they won it last year over Anderson
Speaker 3: twenty to thirteen in that snow, snow driven, blustery night
Speaker 3: up here on that Thursday. So a lot of work
Speaker 3: for Anderson to do tonight. The boy, I like your
Speaker 3: chances on a drive field for sure.
Speaker 1: Let me backtrack a little bit before we get into
Speaker 1: tomorrow night as well.
Speaker 2: This is for those who don't know.
Speaker 1: And you sent us notes earlier, and I looked at
Speaker 1: it and I said, holy cow, because I knew. I
Speaker 1: knew of your commitment and your longevity covering all days,
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was the extent that it is.
Speaker 1: This is what year for you covering the state championship games?
Speaker 3: Well, I started in two thousand and nine. This is
Speaker 3: my thirty ninth state championship.
Speaker 2: Game I've covered.
Speaker 3: The first one was Winton Woods back in two thousand
Speaker 3: and nine. They played a Faithful Heights team over at
Speaker 3: Masslin Tiger Stadium, and it was Shaq Washington was the
Speaker 3: Maple Heype quarterback on that team. He went on to
Speaker 3: UC as a junior and that team went on to
Speaker 3: become UT's all time leading receiver. Yeah, think he's now
Speaker 3: the head coach over there at Maple Heights. But Dominique
Speaker 3: Brown back then had a night of Knights, and it
Speaker 3: was a lot different then than it was it is now.
Speaker 3: But yeah, thirty nine of these now for.
Speaker 2: Me, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And before we get to say next tomorrow, another thought
Speaker 1: on on Anderson and Avon and obviously revenge and rematch
Speaker 1: part of this scenario. But that's an Anderson team that
Speaker 1: scores a lot of points, and that's an Eagles defense
Speaker 1: that doesn't give up many points, does it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is really the fun part of
Speaker 3: this game tonight. Anderson gives or scores forty four points
Speaker 3: a game, and they scored forty ninety points for more
Speaker 3: seven times in the first eight games, but haven't scored
Speaker 3: more than forty two over the last six weeks though.
Speaker 3: But Owen scaff the quarterbacks thrown for forty five hundred
Speaker 3: yards and thirty nine touchdowns. It's also run for six
Speaker 3: hundred and forty yards and seven scores as well. The
Speaker 3: Raptors have seven guys with at least seventy one receptions
Speaker 3: on this team, two guys over one thousand yard and
Speaker 3: then Georgan Davis. Their running backs got six hundred yards
Speaker 3: rushing and twenty one touchdowns rushing, as well as seventy
Speaker 3: one balls caught for seven hundred and sixteen yards. So
Speaker 3: I mean this team, they come at in a lot
Speaker 3: of drums, and they got another kid on the team
Speaker 3: that's got like forty five or fifty receptions too, So
Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna come at you tonight and they're
Speaker 3: gonna have the opportunity to really spread the ball with
Speaker 3: this weather. So, uh yeah, it's cold, but man, I
Speaker 3: really like what they're doing. However, you know this Avon
Speaker 3: Eagles defense. They give up just twelve points a game,
Speaker 3: and their front seven has been really hillacious all season long.
Speaker 3: Lamp Stosslin, Ryan Stlarski, and big man how cup Run.
Speaker 3: He's a six foot three, three pound guy. He anchors
Speaker 3: both sides of their line. And then they got a
Speaker 3: guy in their second Dary Witherspoon. He's committed to North Carolina.
Speaker 3: He had ten tackles in this team last year. So
Speaker 3: their defense is tight. It's really It's gonna be a
Speaker 3: fun game, for sure, but I think this is a
Speaker 3: game you're gonna you You're probably going to see the
Speaker 3: over in this game for sure, all right.
Speaker 4: And then tomorrow Greg a big, gigantic matchup Saint Xavier
Speaker 4: v Owen Tangy Orange on On Tangi is undefeated. Saint
Speaker 4: Xavier's won seven in a row. And if you told
Speaker 4: me mid season, after losing back to back Mueller the
Speaker 4: Elder that this team would be in the state title game,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have believed you. As much as I know
Speaker 4: and loves Saint Xavier. But they've really got it together.
Speaker 4: The teams they've beat greg combined sixty to twenty eight,
Speaker 4: so they've beaten some good teams. And of course Olin
Speaker 4: Tangi their quarterback. Levi Davis, he was a Mister Ohio finalist.
Speaker 4: I think I've heard a lot of people comparing to
Speaker 4: Kaynestapp the kid from Elder. It can run around a lot,
Speaker 4: also a good thrower. How you seeing this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Levi? This Levi kid for Olind Tangi, he's been
Speaker 3: really good, Levi Davis, he's going to hire you. Actually,
Speaker 3: you know, Rogie made Gretch a great comparison. He's very
Speaker 3: much like the quarterback at Ohio right now. Can run
Speaker 3: through to Watson guy. The thing I like to have
Speaker 3: the same favorite team is that they've got Aiden Reider
Speaker 3: and they've got Kobe Clapper. They're guys that can spy
Speaker 3: on Levi Davis and really contain him and make him
Speaker 3: just corral him. Both. Either one of those guys can
Speaker 3: do it. I like that match up there. However, only
Speaker 3: Orange defense has been awesome, holding thirteen their fourteen victims
Speaker 3: to seventeen points or less, the other one to twenty
Speaker 3: one points. They give up just nine points six points
Speaker 3: a game, and you know that's that plays into their
Speaker 3: favor with an X offense who has had trouble running
Speaker 3: the football at like three yards of carry this year.
Speaker 3: So they're gonna have to have to get it done
Speaker 3: and establish a run in every possession for Saint X
Speaker 3: is gonna be They're gonna need to cherish it and
Speaker 3: make the most out of every one of those because
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not gonna get many of them in
Speaker 3: this game. But I've been to to I think this
Speaker 3: game's gonna be the under in points scored. It's not
Speaker 3: going to be a high scoring game at all. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, containing Davis is a top priority for Bomber's
Speaker 3: defense for sure.
Speaker 1: Greg Maya and looking at a map today, I see Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Unrelated question of the game, but one I'm interested in
Speaker 1: your thoughts. I see Cincinnati to Canton, two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty four miles about three and a half hours. Do
Speaker 1: you ever foresee a day where this becomes a more
Speaker 1: of a rotational Canton Columbus Cincinnati type thing for the
Speaker 1: state finals.
Speaker 3: No. No, the way that the Hall of Fame is now,
Speaker 3: I mean this place is a spectacle. They want the
Speaker 3: seven games up here, they want fourteen teams coming here.
Speaker 3: I mean, this place is beautiful. Now. I'm looking out
Speaker 3: from this press box and there is this whole like
Speaker 3: pat concourse and patio leading into the whole Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame village. This wasn't like this years ago. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: is this is not going to move from here anytime soon.

Speaker 3: Tomorrow night. Yeah, so tomorrow high school football tonight. Dan
