<v Speaker 1>Fox Sports thirteen sixty I Radium at tri Statefootball dot Com.

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Always a pleasure to welcome in, Greg Shoemaker, How are you.

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing good, guys. What a great weekend. Week ten

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season in Ohio. First weekend in the

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>playoffs in Indiana this weekend. Two weeks left in the

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>regular season. In Kentucky. It's it's it's go time right

0:00:58.560 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>now for sure for a lot of teams.

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>No doubt about it. Let's get into the first of

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>four games. Let's start with winton Woods at Lebanon. Playoff

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.199
<v Speaker 1>positioning on the line, and winton Woods got a little

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>bit of a boost of the running game last week

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they really did. So the cool thing about this

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 2>game is the winner has put themselves well. Actually, if

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Lebanon wins this game, they will get a first round

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.639
<v Speaker 2>by in Division one Region two. If went Woods wins,

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>they will get a first round by in Division one

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Region four. But that's only if Moler loses. So wyn

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Woods is already secure to top eight spot in a

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>home game in the playoffs. If Lebanon loses, they could

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>still finish in the top four spot, but they could

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 2>also finish as low as number ten in Region two

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>in the rankings. So a lot on the line here

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>that said, like you were talking about, Lance, went Woods

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>got his running game a boost last week when Isaiah

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Garrett came back for the first time this season. The

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 2>junior ram for eighty four yards and a touchdown on

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>fifteen carries last season. To end the year, he ran

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>four straight games of one hundred and ten yards or more,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and five times in the last six contests he did

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the same thing, and then he's been off all this

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>season and it's went in their Their quarterback Bryce Seawan

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>browns led them and rushing with three hundred and ninety

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>six yards this season, so to get him back and

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>this time of year when as you're looking at it tonight,

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the weather's changing and it's football weather, and you better

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>be able to run the football in the end of

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 2>November and into October. That said, Lebanon quarterback Luke Baylor

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>has thrown for nineteen touchdowns and over his last five starts,

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>he's got three receivers with at least six touchdown catches

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>on the year. And if Lebanon wants to stay in

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>this game at home, they're gonna have to get some unconventional,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>unconventional points and they've done that this year with five

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>pick six is on their eleven interceptions for the season.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, Greg West versus East in Lakota, how about this?

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 3>And and how fitting Tom Bolden going for his career

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>win two hundred in a rivalry game. Uh, this should

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 3>be a great one.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I just want to I want to give

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Tom Bolden a bit of love here, Like you said,

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Rocky's going for his two houndred career win. He has

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>one ninety nine and thirty seven in his nineteen seasons

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 2>as a head coach. By the way, Rock one of

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the third of those raw losses are your saying up

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>to Bombers, which is uh so so Bolden's fifteen and

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>oh all the time versus Lakota East, including a six

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and oh mark against UH uh East as the Firebirds

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>head coach, and uh even even so, once you got

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>to UH West this this past six years ago, they'd

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>have been great in UH in October under Bolden, having

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>won twenty consecutive of football games dating all the way

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>back to twenty twenty and again a loss in the

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 2>regional championship to Saint Xavier. But yeah, I mean he's

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>been fantastic and I hope he gets that WINZ and Mara.

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>It'd be a great thing for intern out rivalry game

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>like that. So both teams are in the playoffs, neither

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>one can get a first round by but they I'm

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 2>for sure that West has a home game in Week

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 2>two of the tournaments. So now we've been talking about

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the weather. West has only had five hundred and fifty

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>five yards rushing in the first seven games of the year.

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 2>They have since run for four hundred and forty five

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 2>in the last two games, so it's very interesting. And

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 2>the funny part about this is East has had a

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 2>bad time against teams that can run the football with

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 2>bigger lines. They're allowing two hundred and five yards a

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>game rushing five point six yards of carry, and have

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>given up twenty one touchdowns on the ground, So they

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>have to do a good job at trying to stop

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the run in this one. They want to stay in

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 2>this game. That said, their secondary has been outstanding with

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 2>ten interceptions this year, returning four of them for pick

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>six is. And not only that, in their ten interceptions,

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>they've a massed three hundred and fifty six yards of

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 2>return yardis So you know over a nine game period,

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>that's like what fifty sixty yards a game just in

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 2>return yardis So, I mean, they're amazing there. The one

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>thing that what East will have to do to stay

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 2>in this ballgame is run the football themselves. And Rter Hooks,

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>their senior running back. He's he's their all time leading

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 2>rusher at East and he's having a great senior year.

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>He's run for fourteen hundred yards, he's everage and one

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty yards rushing per game, two hundred and

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.679
<v Speaker 2>thirty of all purpose yards per game, and on defense

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>he has twenty four tackles, five pass breakups, two picks, sixes,

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and is tied for the league lead with four interceptions.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>So I'm telling you right now, if he's he may

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>be one of our candidates for Ohio Mister Football coming

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>out of Southwest Ohio, especially if they win this game.

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's that's an interesting game. And the only

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>other dichotomy of this game that I really feel pretty

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>cool about is is La Coda East. They're they're only

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 2>giving up for Lakota West has only given up eighty

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>three yards a game passing and uh uh, just four

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 2>touchdown passes on the year. So again, in a game

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>that needs to run, this could be it for sure,

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of playoff implications, Fairfield and oak kills winner in

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and loser has to hope.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely, And we're gonna have Fairfield coach Justin Roaden

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>on in the pregame show tomorrow on High School Football tonight.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>And he was the head coach at Oak Hill's the

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>previous five years, and we've had nothing but great things

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 2>to say about these kids at Oak Hills and and

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>their banks out Fairfield is and I think both these teams,

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>like both coaches feel like if we can get into

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs and nextra week of play of plays going

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to help us in meissle and it'll be like a

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>good thing and they need that extra that week of

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>practice and it's you know, it's a win for both teams.

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Who was surevery one gets in and o'kill's senior wide

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>receiver Aaron McFarlane who came from Taylor. He has one

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred and ninety career receptions, more than thirty three hundred

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>yards receiving in his career. That puts him only twenty

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>six players in Ohio have had two hundred receptions in

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>their career and he's only one of only nineteen players

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 2>in the state of Ohio with thirty three hundred yards

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 2>in his career receiving. So great career for him, look

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>for him. I hope he gets to continue on that

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>path to greatness. And then freshman running back at Fairfield

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Coorious Booker. He spent in the GMC with five hundred

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and seventy one yards rushing, very very impressive to be

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a freshman and have that kind of stats in the GMC.

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Greg williams Berg who is undefeated at Bethel Tate, And

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I could love this anymore. Bethel

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Tate started the year oh to five, have rattled off

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 3>four straight and now have a chance to get in

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 3>the U I guess the SBAAC national title.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, they're close and Rocky, you hit everything on

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the right here. Williamsburg has never finished a regular season

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>ten and oh. The program went twenty six oh to

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 2>one from nineteen seventy one to nineteen seventy three. They

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>only played nine games in the regular season that year,

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>so it's a very very cool thing if they could

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>get there. However, two years ago, Williamsburg was sitting at

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>eight and oh and in this same game, Bethel Tate

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>beat them twenty two to twenty at Bethel Tate. And

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the ironic thing about this is Williamsburg senior wide receiver

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Troy Harris was the star for Bethel Tate in that

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 2>game with six receptions for one hundred and thirteen yards,

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown, eight solo tackles in an interception. Last year,

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>he transferred to Williamsburg, where to get avenged the loss.

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 2>He ran for one hundred and thirteen yards on six

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>carry on ten carries, hadnyty five yard kickoff retree for

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown and an interception as Wildcats beat Buffle Tate

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 2>last year. So if Williamsburg wins this game, they might

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>have to call this and here says another good game,

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>they might have to call this the Harris Cup by

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>me every year. This is something else, and he could

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>be three this game over the next three years. But

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a good, fun small school game to follow. Both
