How are you? 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: I am wonderful Lance, how you doing on this Chris 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Paul evening? 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: I am ready. There is football in the air, and 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: there's football to be talked about, so let's get to it. 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: Hylands In Elder and Elder defense Man, old Man getting 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: it done, but will be tested by a Bluebirds offense 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: that is certainly multi faceted with a lot of guys 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: who can get it done. 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. You know last week at setting out there 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: at Elder in the pit when they knock off Moler, 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: number one Mowler at the time, and in front of 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: a pack house ten thousand, everybody was out there, Zach 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: Taylor and his son Willie Cunningham was wandering aimlessly like 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: he normally does. It was awesome. And yeah, so it 30 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: was a good game. And you know after that game, 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: Elders defense now is allowing just sixty five point five 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: yards of game rushing and only twelve points six points 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: per contest, and you know they do they're doing everything right. 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: At seven to zero, they've only turned the ball over 35 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: three times. And here's what you're talking about. There's a 36 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: lot of guys that can get the things done. For Highlands, 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: only six players have score touchdowns for Elder through the 38 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: seven game, and all of them have hit paid her 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: between three and five times. So they have a lot 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: of guys that know how to get there too. But 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Highlands they've got thirteen guys with touchdowns this year, but 42 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: only Caten Lawrenz and who leads the team with fourteen 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: he's got twelve touchdowns. Everybody else has two or less, 44 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 2: so they got twelve players with two or less touchdowns, 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: so they don't care. They just spread the ball all 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: over the place. But the thing I really like about 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: this Elder team is the last six teams that they've 48 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: beaten are all at five hundred or better. The thing 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: I really like about Highlands is they're three and one 50 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: games decided by four points or less, so they know 51 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: how to get done in close games. And their only 52 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: loss was by a point at Boyle County. So I 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: think this is gonna be a good game. This is 54 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: gonna be one of those that it might surprise some 55 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: people when it's all said and done, but others pretty 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: dogarn good. Right now, all. 57 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: Right, let's talk Lesal the Lancers against the Bombers of 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: St X in a big time computer points game. Explain this. 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the top four teams in the playoffs this year, 60 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: based on your computer point, they will get first round buys. 61 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: We eleven buys and right now, thanks, Xavier's sitting at 62 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: number one and or number four and Division one Reasion 63 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: four and Lasals sitting at number four in Division two 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: Region eight uh in computer points. So the winner of 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: this one's going to solidify that buy. You don't want 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: to lose that buy. Uh, you know, getting a fifth 67 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: or a sixth seed. So that's a big It's going 68 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: to be big, especially for these GCL South teams who 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 2: have these rigorous schedules. I think they're going to all 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: want that rule week and that breather off in week 71 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: eleven and get that buy. So but you know, Lasal's 72 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: lost five straight to State x and all the last 73 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: year by nine points. So but all of them have 74 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: been uh, you know, double digits besides that one, So 75 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: it's it's been a while since the sal has had 76 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: a good game. But here's the other thing. I think 77 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: Xavier they haven't scored more than twenty eight points in 78 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: a game, and our only averaging eighteen pointy four points 79 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: per game. So uh, it just could be a low 80 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: scoring offair, especially because the next defense. Even though the 81 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: offense isn't scoring, the defense has been stellar, giving up 82 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: just twelve point four points per game. He's it's been 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: a tail of two things here for Sat Next, the 84 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: Bombers just haven't gotten the run game going. They're only 85 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: averaging two point nine yards per carrying three rushing touchdowns 86 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: on the season, and this is the time of year 87 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: you need to start getting that going. So X has 88 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: got some work to do if they they want to 89 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: keep that. 90 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: Buy all right, how about collision of Rockets and Knights 91 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: mcnick Rockets, Alter Knights and two teams that have been 92 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: rolling lately. 93 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: They really have. I mean mcnick has won four in 94 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: a row and Alder's won three in a row, and 95 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: both of them have played just kill our schedules. You know, 96 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: Alter always challenges it if they start off their Division 97 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: three both teams are Division three, Region twelve, and all 98 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: their places Division one Fairmount and then they got Division 99 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: two trot with Madison on their schedule, went to Ironton 100 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: this year and Wheelersburg, so they play those tough Ohio 101 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: River teams early on. So they've been battle tested. And 102 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: right now Altar is sitting six in the computer rankings 103 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: and mcnick's at seven in Region twelve, so very very 104 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: two very similar teams. But the win here is going 105 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: to be huge because, like I said, both teams sitting 106 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: at five and two and two and zero in the 107 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: gCO co Ed Division it's gonna be a good a 108 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: good night. And these two teams too, they alter each 109 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: other quite a bit. Altars only given up eighty four 110 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: points and just a mirror each other. Alters only given 111 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: up eighty four points in the year. Mcnick's only given 112 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: up eighty five. But alter loves to run the football. 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: They're averaging two hundred and eleven yards a game on 114 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: the ground with twenty three rushing touchdowns, and their sophomore 115 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: Drew Cripps has been outstanding. He's got eleven hundred and 116 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: eighty five all purpose yards and he's got forty eight tackles. 117 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: He's hit the end zone twelve times and has done 118 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: it three or four different ways. And then mcnick is 119 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: much more balanced team. They're averaging one hundred and three 120 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: yards passing, they're averaging one hundred and thirty nine rushing, 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: and then they're special teams. And the return game has 122 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: been outstanding, averaging one hundred and one yards per game 123 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: in returns. I mean that's a whole football field, and 124 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: they have three they have three punt return or two 125 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: punt returns and one kick returns for touchdowns already this year. 126 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 2: That could be the whole difference in this ball game. 127 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: I mean, especially when you're averaging that kind of yardage 128 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: on special teams in a game, that's pretty good, especially 129 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: on a team it's five and two. You're not getting 130 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: that many kickoffs to return and you're not you know, 131 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,119 Speaker 2: I mean, and well you get some punts to return, 132 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: but it's pretty impressive number right there. 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: All right. I'm looking at and I love the notes 134 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: you send every week, and I'm looking at this Indian 135 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: Hill Braves matchup against the Madeira Mustangs, and I will 136 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: admit there's a note on each side. I looked at. 137 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: I did a double take, and I said, holy cow, 138 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: could that be true? Tell me about the Indian Hill defense, 139 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: and tell me about Madeira's quarterback situation. 140 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a I put this one on here 141 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: because this is a This is gonna be a ton 142 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: could be a tough night for Madeira. 143 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: Uh. 144 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: But Indian Hills defense, let's start there first. They have 145 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: only given up thirty five points on the season, five 146 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: points a game. They've shut up their last three opponents, 147 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: and they've given up this is an incredible stat. Seven 148 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: games in the season, they've only given up seven first 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: half points. They've shut out six teams in the first 150 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: half of game. It's insteen amazing and then you know 151 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: so and they're only holding and this is another good 152 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,119 Speaker 2: fact about their their defense. Uh, they're sitting at seven 153 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: to zero. And there's reason why they've only give up 154 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: sixty five yards a game Russians and seventy one passing 155 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: and they're only allowing a thirty seven point seven completion race. 156 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: Why is that so important? Madeira is starting at fifth 157 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: quarterback of the season tomorrow night and all four of 158 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: their wins this season, they're four and three and three 159 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: and one in the CHL, a game behind Indian Hill. 160 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: And it's crazy, but they've had four different quarterbacks win 161 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: games for him this year. And even better than that 162 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: stack all, even though they started five quarterbacks, they've only 163 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: thrown five interceptions all year. So I mean, that's off 164 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: to Chris Stewart, the head coach over there, for doing 165 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: such a great job with what he had to work with. 166 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine being on this starting quarterback 167 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: in the high school.
