Speaker 1: Eight thirty six, seven hundred WLW. We're hanging at it long.
Speaker 1: Next in Richwood, if it's Thursday night, it is the
Speaker 1: Roundtable Show, Cincinnati Tax Resolution Power by Tove Sheldon. Roundtable
Speaker 1: Show presented by Postman Law. I'm Lance Pacalister. We've been busy.
Speaker 1: Bengals college football, a little bit of high school football
Speaker 1: in the last hour with Greg Schuemaker. I want some
Speaker 1: more high school football because you can never talk enough
Speaker 1: high school football, and there are some big games certainly
Speaker 1: tomorrow night headlined by the Skyline Chilli Crossdown Showdown presented
Speaker 1: by Mercy Hiath Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. And the man
Speaker 1: behind that would be the CEO of In Game Sports.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned him in the last segment, producer or
Speaker 1: engineer Dave Abbott said, simply, Chief, we welcome in tom Gamble. Chief.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good? Chief? How about yourself?
Speaker 1: I am well. You know, I make note of the
Speaker 1: fact it's eight thirty seven. Usually I have you on
Speaker 1: much earlier when you come on the show. Did you
Speaker 1: stay Are you staying up late just to be on
Speaker 1: with me at this hour?
Speaker 2: Well? Truth be told. Normally, I'm Brice Sawing logs. But
Speaker 2: but no, I'm captivated by the National League Division Series.
Speaker 2: You know, this is a pitchers duel and it's a yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm watching a little postseason baseball night flipball on
Speaker 2: a little college football too. So but no, I'm Lance.
Speaker 2: I'm always available to speak with you, right, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's very much appreciating. You've got a good
Speaker 1: one tomorrow night the skylind Chillacrossdown Showdown Game Indian Hill
Speaker 1: at Madeira. First things first, tell me about this Indian
Speaker 1: Hill quarterback devil and Daniel who must just be an
Speaker 1: absolute two sports stud.
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of crazy really. His dad Kerry, who
Speaker 2: played in Indiana and uc in baseball. As the Braves
Speaker 2: baseball coach. They made it to the state semi finals
Speaker 2: last year, and Daniel was probably, I guess, conceivably a
Speaker 2: better baseball player. He's ranked the number one prospect in
Speaker 2: Ohio in the class of twenty twenty seven. He's only
Speaker 2: a junior, so he's got two more seasons of high
Speaker 2: school baseball left. But how about this in football? Last
Speaker 2: year for the Braves, he was a running back and
Speaker 2: he ran for over twenty two hundred yards and thirty
Speaker 2: four touchdowns. But John Rodenberg, the coach, said, you know,
Speaker 2: we don't really have a quarterback. So he said he
Speaker 2: went to his assistant coaches in December and said, we're
Speaker 2: gonna move this guy to quarterback. And I think they
Speaker 2: looked at him like, are you nuts? But he really,
Speaker 2: you know, and he runs it throws and he's obviously
Speaker 2: a better runner I would presume the thrower. But he's
Speaker 2: got about thirteen hundred total yards, eleven TVs, passing only
Speaker 2: two interceptions. He's run for eighteens, averaging about eight yards
Speaker 2: of carry. So he's turned into a versal guy. He's
Speaker 2: got I can tell you. I had a chance to
Speaker 2: speak with him this week. He's a really likable guy.
Speaker 2: You can tell he's a great leader. And this Indian
Speaker 2: Hill t him. I know he like numbers lands, so
Speaker 2: I'm gonna toss a few at him. They've outscored the
Speaker 2: opposition two eighty two to thirty five, and they're really good.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're number one in Division four, Region sixteen
Speaker 2: in the Harbin ratings. And you know, John Rodenberg, don't
Speaker 2: forget you know, he took over this program in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one. They went three and seven. Then the last
Speaker 2: few years they've gone nine to four, nine and three.
Speaker 2: They're seven to zero currently four to zero in the CHL. Now,
Speaker 2: let's not forget this guy's the only high school football
Speaker 2: coach the only one to win state championshops in Kentucky
Speaker 2: two thousand and six at Coveany Catholic, Ohio, twenty twelve
Speaker 2: and twenty thirteen Bowler, and then in twenty twenty this
Speaker 2: season before he came to Indian Hill, he took Ron
Speaker 2: Colly High School, which is in Greater Indianapolis, to the
Speaker 2: Indiana five A state title. I mean, he's the only
Speaker 2: one to do that, and he's quickly at Indian Hill.
Speaker 2: He's good football coach, period, end of story. But this
Speaker 2: team is really good. They've outscored the opposition one thirty
Speaker 2: six to zero the last three weeks. But you'll love
Speaker 2: this Madeira which is four and three, three and one
Speaker 2: ty with Wyoming in second place in the CHL. They're
Speaker 2: down to their fifth quarterback fifth incredible. They've lost four
Speaker 2: quarterbacks to injury, and they moved Andrew Roy, who's a
Speaker 2: wide receiver a senior, to quarterbacks. I mean, what do
Speaker 2: you do? QB five? I mean you know, the Montra
Speaker 2: a next man up, But I mean I feel bad
Speaker 2: for Chris Stewart because he's a good football coach and
Speaker 2: it's a good team. But what do you do when
Speaker 2: you're down at QB five and you're playing a team
Speaker 2: that's allowed thirty five points in seven games?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know you talk with Chris Stewart this week.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've been through, They've certainly been tested
Speaker 1: from a strength to schedule standpoint. This year, they've had
Speaker 1: a tough schedule.
Speaker 2: They've been a brutal schedule. But you know, he's got
Speaker 2: a great attitude and he says, you know, what can
Speaker 2: you do? You know, you just tell him, hey, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll give it the best we've got. We know it's
Speaker 2: going to be a challenge, but it's a great and
Speaker 2: I love games like this. It's a small school neighborhood rivalry.
Speaker 2: You know, the schools are, you know, very close to
Speaker 2: each other. Last week we had the first EHL game
Speaker 2: and Retting had a twenty one tohing lead on Taylor.
Speaker 2: Taylor came back to win thirty five twenty eight. It's
Speaker 2: very funny. You just never know which games are gonna
Speaker 2: turn out to be the best. We obviously picked the
Speaker 2: first eight weeks in advance, well before the season kicked off,
Speaker 2: so you never know. But bo, I'm telling you, when
Speaker 2: you get the week eight, we've had great weather every
Speaker 2: front night. But when you get the weekend, there are
Speaker 2: so many good games tomorrow night, it's it's hard to
Speaker 2: follow them all.
Speaker 1: Perfect segue. Let me toss a couple of the matchups
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, your away and just give me maybe a
Speaker 1: thought or two on a couple of them. Let's go
Speaker 1: Hiland's Elder and that gauntlet of a schedule continues for
Speaker 1: the Elder Panthers.
Speaker 2: Well, it's been brutal, I mean, back to back Saint
Speaker 2: Axe Moler last week they won their first outright GCL
Speaker 2: South title since two thousand and eight. They're unbeaten or up,
Speaker 2: their best start since they won the second of two
Speaker 2: back to back state championships in two thousand and three. Highlands.
Speaker 2: You know, they only lost once twenty one to twenty
Speaker 2: at perennial state power Bourbon County, so you know they're
Speaker 2: really good. Sorry, Boyle County. I mean, so they're really good,
Speaker 2: But I say this Elder led by Kane Stepp, their
Speaker 2: junior quarterback and a really gritty defense. Doug Ramsey's a
Speaker 2: very good coach and Elder's really good. Last week did
Speaker 2: the biggest crowd ever from Mohler Elder at the Tent ever,
Speaker 2: surpassed the Cole Rain Elder game way back in the
Speaker 2: early two thousands, the first nationally televised high school game
Speaker 2: on ESPN. So yeah, this is another one. But Elder
Speaker 2: is going to be really well tested come postseason time.
Speaker 1: How about the King of North ben Road. That's Lasal
Speaker 1: hooking up at Saint X.
Speaker 2: The Yellow thousand only lost one game, that's sixteen to eight.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, two games sixteen to eight to Elder are
Speaker 2: close one and then got it handed to him by
Speaker 2: Molar and Saint X the same thing. I mean, they've
Speaker 2: lost to Elder and Moler two. But yeah, King of
Speaker 2: North Bend Road, this is always a big one school
Speaker 2: separated by only a few miles. I got to bring
Speaker 2: this one up the lance Cleveland Sainte Nacius against Molar.
Speaker 2: They play at Mount Saint Joe tomorrow night. This will
Speaker 2: blow you away. When you say, when you think Cleveland
Speaker 2: City Nations, you go man that perennial state power. I
Speaker 2: mean they're sitting. They won eleven state championships the last
Speaker 2: two years, so twenty twenty four and this year they
Speaker 2: are eight combined, two and sixteen, two and sixteen. They
Speaker 2: went one in ten last sure, they're one and six
Speaker 2: this year. All those kids in Northeast Ohio when Chuck Kyle,
Speaker 2: the legendary coach who won all those state titles, retired,
Speaker 2: they've all been going to Lake with Saint Edwards. So
Speaker 2: it's very interesting. I look at that, I had to
Speaker 2: do a double take. I'm like, two and sixteen. That's
Speaker 2: pretty brutal.
Speaker 1: All right, let me toss. I got time to toss
Speaker 1: a couple more of your ways. Let me drop down
Speaker 1: here to first place on the line tomorrow night. How
Speaker 1: about Harrison at Talawanda.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting one. You gotta go back
Speaker 2: to ninth. I'm gonna give you more hit. I know
Speaker 2: you love numbers in history. Nineteen ninety one, Talawanda was
Speaker 2: undefeated the regular season, knocked off Frinston in the postseason,
Speaker 2: huge upset twenty four to twenty two. They finished eleven one.
Speaker 2: They lost the next week to center Bill Tallawanda's undefeated,
Speaker 2: and they've got this running back a senior Lance Cantrell,
Speaker 2: who did not play at all last year. He has
Speaker 2: run four and this is pretty incredible. He's about to
Speaker 2: go over two thousand yards. He's got seventeen hundred and eleven.
Speaker 2: He started the year off with four four one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty three yards in the opener against Taylor, and
Speaker 2: he's run for three hundred once over two hundred and twice.
Speaker 2: He's been I think it's low as a buck twenty three.
Speaker 2: He's rushed for twenty three touchdowns. But this will be
Speaker 2: a test. Arison's really good. They're five and two. They've
Speaker 2: lost the two games by a combined three points, one
Speaker 2: East Central two to CHCA. It's at Palawanda. Andy Stucker's
Speaker 2: done an amazing job with this program. This is only
Speaker 2: his third year. He's got him undefeated. The winner of
Speaker 2: this It's only a four team league, so they have
Speaker 2: to play a lot of outside league games, obviously non conference,
Speaker 2: but they're both want to know in the league. This
Speaker 2: should be a good one up near Oxford tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm in Northern Kentucky, so let me wrap
Speaker 1: it up with two Northern Kentucky matchups. Tell me about
Speaker 1: the battle for the paddle.
Speaker 2: Well, Bellevue four and two, and you gotta love the
Speaker 2: river towns, right Bellevue and Dayton, the neighbors there, and
Speaker 2: it's at Date and they got a brand new complex. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the battle for the paddle hence, you know, schools on
Speaker 2: the river all that, and then I gotta tell you
Speaker 2: copcat is four and three. They have to be the
Speaker 2: best FEIGN three team in the region. They've had. You
Speaker 2: talk about a rough schedule they've had. They only lost
Speaker 2: by eight at Elder in the PID twenty twenty, they
Speaker 2: lost the close game to Ryle and then they lost
Speaker 2: last week thirty one to twenty eight the Highlands. They
Speaker 2: only welcome in now because they got to play. You know,
Speaker 2: when you win, not a lot of people want to play,
Speaker 2: so they're welcoming in Indianapolis Cathedral. They're five and two.
Speaker 2: They've won four straight. Their two losses are the Brownsburg,
Speaker 2: a big school just outside of Indy, and Cincinnati Saint Xavier.
Speaker 2: So there are some really good When you get the
Speaker 2: week eights, you got a lot of you know, teams
Speaker 2: vying for conference championships, trying to stay in races, and
Speaker 2: there's a lot on the line. Tomorrow night, and the
Speaker 2: remaining two weeks as well.
Speaker 1: Heck, holy Cross Lloyd should be good tomorrow night shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Well, now they're both, they.
Speaker 1: Don't are they're both, They're both, They're both both.
Speaker 2: Lloyd defeated Lloyd. Yes, Lloyd's seven and zero playing tonight
Speaker 2: against Henry County. There's a lot of schools this week
Speaker 2: on fall break, and like the Boone Campbell Kenton County
Speaker 2: schools in northern Kentucky. You're on fall break sum in
Speaker 2: Ohio too, which means a lot of times they move
Speaker 2: them to Thursday. But yeah, holy Cross the six and
Speaker 2: oh you know so that they're a good program this
Speaker 2: year and Lloyd's seven and oh so yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: they're they're under And I got to get in Newport,
Speaker 2: Newcast the Battle for the Fireman's Bell. We have a
Speaker 2: lot of battles at Land. I think, think you what
Speaker 2: the biggest battle is trying to get anywhere on the
Speaker 2: roads anymore.
Speaker 1: You're telling me track game.
Speaker 2: If you're going to a high school game tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Leave now that's it probably a really good idea. It
Speaker 1: is the Skylight Chili Crossdown Showdown, presented by Mercy Health,
Speaker 1: Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Indian Hill at Madeira seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: Tell everybody if they want more information about your vast
Speaker 1: and expanding social media platform for the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're all over it. Lance at Xtown Showdown on
Speaker 2: x formerly Twitter and Instagram. So I will updates all
Speaker 2: night long. We have daily features during the week, and
Speaker 2: we've got a big swap preview next week, so of
Speaker 2: Taliwana and Harrison they play tomorrow night, but we'll be
Speaker 2: talking about those two teams next week getting ready for
Speaker 2: our game week nine. I always enjoy talking football with you,
Speaker 2: especially high school variety, and it should be a great weather.
Speaker 2: It looks like tomorrow night as well. We're getting a
Speaker 2: little crisp air for the weeks eight through ten, hopefully.
Speaker 1: The only problem is is you can relate. We each
Speaker 1: went through a stretch of like five weeks without having
Speaker 1: to mow. Now I feel like I'm mowing every like
Speaker 1: twelve hours now.
Speaker 2: It was a real problem for me today. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie. I went out there this morning it was
Speaker 2: still a little boist, and I said, why did I
Speaker 2: wait so long? And I just created a nightmare for myself.
Speaker 2: So I only did the front, so I've got the
Speaker 2: back to do tomorrow. You know what that means when
Speaker 2: you split it up, trying to make it a little
Speaker 2: less painful if you will, but you know I'll take this.
Speaker 2: I love this weather, and it's great football weather for
Speaker 2: any level, and this is a time of year when
Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Thanks Chief, you gotta Chief.
Speaker 2: Have a great night.
