Speaker 1: Let's talk some high school football, man, oh man, there
Speaker 1: are some big ones this week, and you hear our
Speaker 1: next guest on Friday nights with the award winning High
Speaker 1: School Football Tonight Show on ESPN fifteen.
Speaker 2: Thirty and Fox Sports thirteen sixty.
Speaker 1: You read him as the content manager of Tri State
Speaker 1: Football dot Com. Let's talk week seven and a matchup
Speaker 1: with what nine teams on? Nine teams still undefeated after
Speaker 1: six weeks. We're going to talk about four matchups tonight
Speaker 1: as we welcome in Greg Shoemaker.
Speaker 2: How are you.
Speaker 4: I am wonderful guys. How are you guys doing on
Speaker 4: this beautiful Thursday night.
Speaker 2: We are fired up, ready to go.
Speaker 1: We've got a great dock of the games to get too,
Speaker 1: so let's get right to it. Let's start with Mohler
Speaker 1: Elder one versus two for the GCL South title.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about this one? Elder's six and oero for
Speaker 4: the first time since two thousand and one. The next
Speaker 4: two years after that they won state titles with Chilli
Speaker 4: clatheart those days back in the back in the last time
Speaker 4: in elder Woods state championships. But they were good for
Speaker 4: a while there, so that started good runs to them.
Speaker 4: Interesting thing about Elder is the next three teams that
Speaker 4: are going to face are all five and one right
Speaker 4: at currently five and one, so they've got their work
Speaker 4: cut out for him, you know. But their defense has
Speaker 4: been outstanding. They're only giving up sixty eight yards of
Speaker 4: game rushing, twelve points a game, and you know, seniors
Speaker 4: Derek Ran and Alex Duggan have combined for sixty four tackles,
Speaker 4: seven and a half sacks, and sixteen tackles for losses.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is a team that's got
Speaker 4: a lot of things going well for him. They've only
Speaker 4: turned the ball over twice and now here come the
Speaker 4: Moller Cruise. Saders into town. Twelve consecutive GCL South wins
Speaker 4: dating back to September twenty twenty one. They have owned
Speaker 4: the South and just been fantastic, and you know, they're
Speaker 4: looking for their four straight league title. They you know,
Speaker 4: they've just been playing great. They're averaging thirty eight points
Speaker 4: a game, which is a good It's gonna be a matchup,
Speaker 4: you know, a good offense versus a mistellar defense. Muller
Speaker 4: just keeps getting it done. They've had a lot of
Speaker 4: injuries this year, and a lot of people haven't really
Speaker 4: paid attention to their injuries. But they had a running
Speaker 4: back last year or last week a freshman named Juice
Speaker 4: Glover Brown and he ran for one hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: nine and two touchdowns. So really a just a great
Speaker 4: matchup between two different teams. Like I said, one versus
Speaker 4: two at the pit and Rocky, I want to ask
Speaker 4: you a question. You played in a lot of great places,
Speaker 4: you know, Notre Dame, Kansas City, Arrowhead, But where does
Speaker 4: the Pit rank for you as far as all time
Speaker 4: places played? Because on a night like that, in a
Speaker 4: GCL side game like tomorrow night's what have happened? Oh man,
Speaker 4: it can't be anything better for an eight sixteen, seventeen,
Speaker 4: eighteen year old kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's as good as it gets. It's a hostile crowd,
Speaker 3: but that's what you love about it. And you know
Speaker 3: everybody comes out of the woodwork and the whole basically
Speaker 3: West side of Cincinnati shuts down, all those streets around
Speaker 3: out of high school. No, absolutely a fantastic place to play. Yeah, great, yeah, good,
Speaker 3: go ahead. Now I was gonna say, just moving on, Greg,
Speaker 3: I see you know cubcasts at Highlands. Now, I'm old
Speaker 3: enough to remember when this used to be like a
Speaker 3: yearly rivalry kind of thing that hasn't happened in a
Speaker 3: couple of years. I guess, first question why and I
Speaker 3: guess how's it been rekindled here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Cubcast went down and they were been playing
Speaker 4: Class four A and Highlands has been playing in Class
Speaker 4: five A for the last couple of years. They hadn't
Speaker 4: played each other during the regular season, but when they
Speaker 4: were both back in Class four A District five, they
Speaker 4: would not only play each other during the regular season,
Speaker 4: but they always seem to catch up with each other
Speaker 4: in the playoffs as well. In fact, these two teams
Speaker 4: since twenty sixteen played thirteen times since twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 4: Cupcat holds an eleven to two advantage in the series
Speaker 4: in that span, and before that, Highlands won like ten
Speaker 4: or twelve in a row in this year, so it's
Speaker 4: a series of streaks. But right now cubcast is looking
Speaker 4: very good in this series. Now Highlands is won two
Speaker 4: of the last three they lost last year, but one
Speaker 4: of the two before that, so their seniors know how
Speaker 4: to get it done in this game. Really interesting matchup here.
Speaker 4: Cubcasts won four in a row. They're averaging thirty six
Speaker 4: and a half points in those games. They lost their
Speaker 4: first two and they were both I think by six
Speaker 4: or eight points. They have a couple of seniors, Dyan
Speaker 4: Geyser and Cash Harney the quarterback. They've combined for fifty
Speaker 4: six touchdowns. Since the beginning of last season twenty games,
Speaker 4: those two have had scored fifty six touchdowns. And on
Speaker 4: that On the contrasting side of that, Highlands had thirteen
Speaker 4: players score touchdowns and only one of them has scored
Speaker 4: more than than two, and that's Tayon le Wrenz in
Speaker 4: the junior He's got ten on the season. But I
Speaker 4: look for this to be a very irritating, high scoring game.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a Highland's another great place to see
Speaker 4: a game, And yeah, I just think that this one
Speaker 4: here is is going to come down to the wire.
Speaker 4: Highlands has got one loss, that was on the road
Speaker 4: to Boyle County. Boyle County came into the season having
Speaker 4: won like something like thirty in a row. So no
Speaker 4: shame to lose there. If you're the Bluebirds, it it's
Speaker 4: gonna be It's gonna be a really good night over
Speaker 4: there in Fort Thomas, for sure.
Speaker 1: All Right, how about the Battle of Forest Hills the
Speaker 1: Anderson Raptors, Turpin Spartans, your thoughts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Anderson six to zero, and they look fantastic. Turpin's
Speaker 4: sort of a surprise team. They're four and two and
Speaker 4: four and one in the league. Had a big win
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago or last week over West Claremont.
Speaker 4: But Anderson, you know, they just looked the part. They
Speaker 4: look like they could be a state champion already. They're
Speaker 4: averaging they got a forty point two average margin of victory.
Speaker 4: I mean, they have been fantastic. They're averaging forty nine
Speaker 4: point eight points per game, you know, two hundred and
Speaker 4: ninety nine points in six games. It's a lot of points.
Speaker 4: Their quarterback Griffin scaff has thow for two thousand and
Speaker 4: eight and nineteen touchdowns. But there's a couple, here's a
Speaker 4: couple really odd as good as Anderson has been, a
Speaker 4: couple of great stats about this team. They have fourteen
Speaker 4: to two point conversions on the season. Running back Jordan
Speaker 4: Davis has ten of those. So it's interesting. They almost
Speaker 4: out there watching them last week, and you know they
Speaker 4: get up their first every time they go and score
Speaker 4: touchdown early in the game, their first touchdown they score.
Speaker 4: They are always scoring for two points. They want to
Speaker 4: get by eight points. And then the other interesting stat
Speaker 4: they have is they've only punted once all year. It's
Speaker 4: an amazing thing to see. They take all four downs, man,
Speaker 4: and they're gonna make you pay for it. It's hard
Speaker 4: to stop them. And then turf it. On the other hand,
Speaker 4: eight games they had their two and two in games
Speaker 4: decided by eight points or less, and they haven't beaten
Speaker 4: the team yet this year. That's one more than two games,
Speaker 4: so this will be a huge test for the Spartans.
Speaker 4: They spread the wealth around on offense. They got four
Speaker 4: guys that have more than three hundred sixty yards of offense,
Speaker 4: two of those are are and another guy with sixty
Speaker 4: six receiving, so you know, they look really good. Now again,
Speaker 4: they haven't been really tested. Luke Milam their quarterback has
Speaker 4: seven rushing touchdowns and seven passing touchdowns. And their defense,
Speaker 4: their defense has four takeaway touchdowns already with three interception
Speaker 4: returns and one scooping score on their ten takeaways. That
Speaker 4: they have, so really really interesting team right there. A
Speaker 4: great game, but I think Sparkan Anderson's going to be
Speaker 4: just too much for the Spartans in this one.
Speaker 3: I really like that coach Anderson has Evan Dryer. I
Speaker 3: think he's one of the best offensive minds around. But
Speaker 3: moving on here, Greg Northwest Nights at Taliwan. The Talawan
Speaker 3: has not been six and oh since nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 2: Tell us about this one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So this is a really good, good game.
Speaker 4: We'll have a Northwest head coach, Brandon Shoan on with
Speaker 4: us in the pregame portion of high school football tonight tomorrow.
Speaker 4: And they've won three in a row. They had had
Speaker 4: a couple of tough losses early in the season, they
Speaker 4: started to play well. They got some dudes on that
Speaker 4: side of the football. Now Tliwana, they haven't beaten the
Speaker 4: team with more than two wins yet in the season. So,
Speaker 4: and it's really weird because the top four teams in
Speaker 4: each division will get buys this year, and they're sitting
Speaker 4: at number five even though in the computer rankings, even
Speaker 4: though they're six and oh. So it's an interesting game tonight.
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a lot closer than
Speaker 4: people think Tomorrow night. Running back lancecan Trail for Talawana
Speaker 4: has fifteen hundred yards rushing already. He's averaging two hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty five point eight yards per game twelve point
Speaker 4: seven per carry, and the team has twenty touchdowns or
Speaker 4: twenty s toenty touchdowns rushing, so he's got games already
Speaker 4: this year four hundred and twenty three yards, three hundred
Speaker 4: and thirteen and two hundred and eighty six rushing. I
Speaker 4: mean he's putting some mileys on those those cleats, that's
Speaker 4: for sure. And this is an interesting team now. Their
Speaker 4: quarterback Oliver better Stone ten touchdowns and only one interception,
Speaker 4: so you know when when they're setting up to run
Speaker 4: and they're knocking it out with the pass late and
Speaker 4: drives as well. So a very very good, very very
Speaker 4: good Taaliwanda team, and congratulations for those guys up in Oxford.
Speaker 4: We're doing such a great, great job getting to this point. Northwest.
Speaker 4: Northwest has six defensive touchdowns already, three stoopid scores and
Speaker 4: three pick sixes, and Jalen Lily has three of those
Speaker 4: with two pick sixes and a fumble recovery. Jalen also
Speaker 4: is their starting quarterback, so he's playing not only on that,
Speaker 4: they're having a hard time getting him off the field
Speaker 4: even on special teams. He doesn't want to come off.
Speaker 4: He's been a great junior leader for them. He was
Speaker 4: a defensive player last year and moved to quarterback and
Speaker 4: is having a great, great season for Northwest. I think
Speaker 4: that's gonna be a fun with tomorrow night for sure.
Speaker 1: All Right, Greg, give us a wrap up with a
Speaker 1: preview of the show at tri statefootball dot com.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so tomorrow high school football tonight. I'll be doing
Speaker 4: the pregame portion of it. Like I said, I'll have
Speaker 4: bread shown. The head coach at Northwest is on holy

Speaker 4: Indians are five and oh for the first time in
Speaker 4: school history. They had never been four and oh in
Speaker 4: school history. They're looking for a good with tonight there

Speaker 4: un and I'm also interviewing d Aca head coach Calvin Renfro.
