<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, he loves the game and he's been

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:18.720

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you know. This is you know, this is

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the seventh grade. This is the first time some of

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>these kids have played organized football, and this is the

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 2>first time playing school football. And it's a big it's

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>a big transition that if you've been playing little league ball,

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 2>a pop warner or whatever you want to call it,

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a big difference in a big transition

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.839
<v Speaker 2>to go from one to the other. You understand, Yeah,

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I do understand. But Malika's been working really hard.

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and he's ready.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Well well, well let me let me say this. My

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 2>main reason for calling you is letting you know that

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>league as of right now, is not going to be

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>able to make the cut as far as what you

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 2>think he's gonna be able to make the cut, as

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>far as being on the team for this year. Now,

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I got wit a minute.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 4>You said, wait, wait, you said that Maliite is not

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna be able to make the team. Yeah, I said,

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 4>it's not gonna make the team.

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Is a great kid, you know, he's a great.

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 4>I know he's a great kid. But wait man, now,

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 4>he didn't play Pop Warner and he was a starting quarterback,

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 4>So what are you talking about. He's not gonna make

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 4>the team this year? He was the best say had

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 4>out on that squad.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and you know what, I've heard a lot about him.

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I heard he did a great job.

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 4>Heard about him a wit a minute. Wait man, have

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 4>you seen his death? Twenty touchdowns in the season? I

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 4>dtand what the kids is out there doing that?

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, but right now, we got a

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of different kids that are coming into this particular school,

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>so you know, the competition has gone greater and greater

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>than what we could possibly understand.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.239
<v Speaker 4>Wait a minute, when this is seventh grade, first of all,

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 4>everybody makes the team. Nobody gets cut in the first place.

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 4>You got an A team and a B team. So

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 4>you're telling me my baby ain't made none of.

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Them teams right right now? Mss lydia, Uh you know, Uhlik?

<v Speaker 2>Like I said, Malik is a great kid. I like it.

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 4>I know what Milik is. I know that he's a

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 4>great kid and he's a ballplayer. Now I make sure that,

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 4>So don't come telling me that he's not good enough

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 4>to make the cut on this seventh grade team. Well,

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 4>telling me who is the quarterback? Who? Yeah, you tell

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 4>me what's going on?

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Who is the quarterback? Well? Actually, right now, my son

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>is the quarterback?

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 4>Your son?

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean you know now, my son, yeah, is

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>actually the quarterback. He hasn't done any pop warn or anything,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>but he really has what it takes to be.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 4>He never played football before, or he's never played organized football,

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 4>but he is going to be the quarterback for the

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 4>seventh grade team. Is that what you're telling me?

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.120
