Speaker 1: and Fox Sports thirteen sixty. Radium is the content manager
Speaker 1: of Tri State Football dot Com. Let's talk Week eight
Speaker 1: and welcome in, Greg Schumaker. How are you?
Speaker 2: I am wonderful Lance, how you doing on this Chris
Speaker 2: Paul evening?
Speaker 1: I am ready. There is football in the air, and
Speaker 1: there's football to be talked about, so let's get to it.
Speaker 1: Hylands In Elder and Elder defense Man, old Man getting
Speaker 1: it done, but will be tested by a Bluebirds offense
Speaker 1: that is certainly multi faceted with a lot of guys
Speaker 1: who can get it done.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. You know last week at setting out there
Speaker 2: at Elder in the pit when they knock off Moler,
Speaker 2: number one Mowler at the time, and in front of
Speaker 2: a pack house ten thousand, everybody was out there, Zach
Speaker 2: Taylor and his son Willie Cunningham was wandering aimlessly like
Speaker 2: he normally does. It was awesome. And yeah, so it
Speaker 2: was a good game. And you know after that game,
Speaker 2: Elders defense now is allowing just sixty five point five
Speaker 2: yards of game rushing and only twelve points six points
Speaker 2: per contest, and you know they do they're doing everything right.
Speaker 2: At seven to zero, they've only turned the ball over
Speaker 2: three times. And here's what you're talking about. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of guys that can get the things done. For Highlands,
Speaker 2: only six players have score touchdowns for Elder through the
Speaker 2: seven game, and all of them have hit paid her
Speaker 2: between three and five times. So they have a lot
Speaker 2: of guys that know how to get there too. But
Speaker 2: Highlands they've got thirteen guys with touchdowns this year, but
Speaker 2: only Caten Lawrenz and who leads the team with fourteen
Speaker 2: he's got twelve touchdowns. Everybody else has two or less,
Speaker 2: so they got twelve players with two or less touchdowns,
Speaker 2: so they don't care. They just spread the ball all
Speaker 2: over the place. But the thing I really like about
Speaker 2: this Elder team is the last six teams that they've
Speaker 2: beaten are all at five hundred or better. The thing
Speaker 2: I really like about Highlands is they're three and one
Speaker 2: games decided by four points or less, so they know
Speaker 2: how to get done in close games. And their only
Speaker 2: loss was by a point at Boyle County. So I
Speaker 2: think this is gonna be a good game. This is
Speaker 2: gonna be one of those that it might surprise some
Speaker 2: people when it's all said and done, but others pretty
Speaker 2: dogarn good. Right now, all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's talk Lesal the Lancers against the Bombers of
Speaker 1: St X in a big time computer points game. Explain this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the top four teams in the playoffs this year,
Speaker 2: based on your computer point, they will get first round buys.
Speaker 2: We eleven buys and right now, thanks, Xavier's sitting at
Speaker 2: number one and or number four and Division one Reasion
Speaker 2: four and Lasals sitting at number four in Division two
Speaker 2: Region eight uh in computer points. So the winner of
Speaker 2: this one's going to solidify that buy. You don't want
Speaker 2: to lose that buy. Uh, you know, getting a fifth
Speaker 2: or a sixth seed. So that's a big It's going
Speaker 2: to be big, especially for these GCL South teams who
Speaker 2: have these rigorous schedules. I think they're going to all
Speaker 2: want that rule week and that breather off in week
Speaker 2: eleven and get that buy. So but you know, Lasal's
Speaker 2: lost five straight to State x and all the last
Speaker 2: year by nine points. So but all of them have
Speaker 2: been uh, you know, double digits besides that one, So
Speaker 2: it's it's been a while since the sal has had
Speaker 2: a good game. But here's the other thing. I think
Speaker 2: Xavier they haven't scored more than twenty eight points in
Speaker 2: a game, and our only averaging eighteen pointy four points
Speaker 2: per game. So uh, it just could be a low
Speaker 2: scoring offair, especially because the next defense. Even though the
Speaker 2: offense isn't scoring, the defense has been stellar, giving up
Speaker 2: just twelve point four points per game. He's it's been
Speaker 2: a tail of two things here for Sat Next, the
Speaker 2: Bombers just haven't gotten the run game going. They're only
Speaker 2: averaging two point nine yards per carrying three rushing touchdowns
Speaker 2: on the season, and this is the time of year
Speaker 2: you need to start getting that going. So X has
Speaker 2: got some work to do if they they want to
Speaker 2: keep that.
Speaker 1: Buy all right, how about collision of Rockets and Knights
Speaker 1: mcnick Rockets, Alter Knights and two teams that have been
Speaker 1: rolling lately.
Speaker 2: They really have. I mean mcnick has won four in
Speaker 2: a row and Alder's won three in a row, and
Speaker 2: both of them have played just kill our schedules. You know,
Speaker 2: Alter always challenges it if they start off their Division
Speaker 2: three both teams are Division three, Region twelve, and all
Speaker 2: their places Division one Fairmount and then they got Division
Speaker 2: two trot with Madison on their schedule, went to Ironton
Speaker 2: this year and Wheelersburg, so they play those tough Ohio
Speaker 2: River teams early on. So they've been battle tested. And
Speaker 2: right now Altar is sitting six in the computer rankings
Speaker 2: and mcnick's at seven in Region twelve, so very very
Speaker 2: two very similar teams. But the win here is going
Speaker 2: to be huge because, like I said, both teams sitting
Speaker 2: at five and two and two and zero in the
Speaker 2: gCO co Ed Division it's gonna be a good a
Speaker 2: good night. And these two teams too, they alter each
Speaker 2: other quite a bit. Altars only given up eighty four
Speaker 2: points and just a mirror each other. Alters only given
Speaker 2: up eighty four points in the year. Mcnick's only given
Speaker 2: up eighty five. But alter loves to run the football.
Speaker 2: They're averaging two hundred and eleven yards a game on
Speaker 2: the ground with twenty three rushing touchdowns, and their sophomore
Speaker 2: Drew Cripps has been outstanding. He's got eleven hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty five all purpose yards and he's got forty eight tackles.
Speaker 2: He's hit the end zone twelve times and has done
Speaker 2: it three or four different ways. And then mcnick is
Speaker 2: much more balanced team. They're averaging one hundred and three
Speaker 2: yards passing, they're averaging one hundred and thirty nine rushing,
Speaker 2: and then they're special teams. And the return game has
Speaker 2: been outstanding, averaging one hundred and one yards per game
Speaker 2: in returns. I mean that's a whole football field, and
Speaker 2: they have three they have three punt return or two
Speaker 2: punt returns and one kick returns for touchdowns already this year.
Speaker 2: That could be the whole difference in this ball game.
Speaker 2: I mean, especially when you're averaging that kind of yardage
Speaker 2: on special teams in a game, that's pretty good, especially
Speaker 2: on a team it's five and two. You're not getting
Speaker 2: that many kickoffs to return and you're not you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, and well you get some punts to return,
Speaker 2: but it's pretty impressive number right there.
Speaker 1: All right. I'm looking at and I love the notes
Speaker 1: you send every week, and I'm looking at this Indian
Speaker 1: Hill Braves matchup against the Madeira Mustangs, and I will
Speaker 1: admit there's a note on each side. I looked at.
Speaker 1: I did a double take, and I said, holy cow,
Speaker 1: could that be true? Tell me about the Indian Hill defense,
Speaker 1: and tell me about Madeira's quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a I put this one on here
Speaker 2: because this is a This is gonna be a ton
Speaker 2: could be a tough night for Madeira.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: But Indian Hills defense, let's start there first. They have
Speaker 2: only given up thirty five points on the season, five
Speaker 2: points a game. They've shut up their last three opponents,
Speaker 2: and they've given up this is an incredible stat. Seven
Speaker 2: games in the season, they've only given up seven first
Speaker 2: half points. They've shut out six teams in the first
Speaker 2: half of game. It's insteen amazing and then you know
Speaker 2: so and they're only holding and this is another good
Speaker 2: fact about their their defense. Uh, they're sitting at seven
Speaker 2: to zero. And there's reason why they've only give up
Speaker 2: sixty five yards a game Russians and seventy one passing
Speaker 2: and they're only allowing a thirty seven point seven completion race.
Speaker 2: Why is that so important? Madeira is starting at fifth
Speaker 2: quarterback of the season tomorrow night and all four of
Speaker 2: their wins this season, they're four and three and three
Speaker 2: and one in the CHL, a game behind Indian Hill.
Speaker 2: And it's crazy, but they've had four different quarterbacks win
Speaker 2: games for him this year. And even better than that
Speaker 2: stack all, even though they started five quarterbacks, they've only
Speaker 2: thrown five interceptions all year. So I mean, that's off
Speaker 2: to Chris Stewart, the head coach over there, for doing
Speaker 2: such a great job with what he had to work with.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine being on this starting quarterback
Speaker 2: in the high school. This kid was a wide receiver
Speaker 2: and a DV. They had their freshman quarterback up at
Speaker 2: one time. He got hurt. Their starter got hurt four
Speaker 2: passes into the season, so and he was an All
Speaker 2: conference player last year, so that's awesome. A dear, I
Speaker 2: know it could be a long night just the Braves tomorrow,
Speaker 2: but man, good job by Chris Stewart.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. All right, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: big night and you've got it all covered. Tell everybody
Speaker 1: about the high school football tonight showed about Tri statefootball
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so high school football tomorrow night or high school
Speaker 2: football tonight tomorrow night is we've got in the In
Speaker 2: the pregame portion before the Saint Xavier game, we'll talk
Speaker 2: with Paul Wiggins, the Headport head coach at Newport, they're
Speaker 2: playing Newcap in a big rivalry game tomorrow. Jeff Estick
Speaker 2: and Brad jeff Astic from Bevill Tate and Brad Schilders
Speaker 2: from Franklin are going to join us. And both of
Speaker 2: those teams started out zero to five and they've won
Speaker 2: their first two conference games, and both of them are
Speaker 2: sitting at two and five with chances to win their
Speaker 2: conference and legitimate chances to win their conferences. So it's
Speaker 2: those are both good stories. In the pregame portion, postgame
Speaker 2: portion of high school football tonight will feature Dan Klaskins
