Speaker 2: a big transition that if you've been playing little league ball,
Speaker 2: a pop warner or whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 2: it's a it's a big difference in a big transition
Speaker 2: to go from one to the other. You understand, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do understand. But Malika's been working really hard.
Speaker 4: Yes, and he's ready.
Speaker 2: Well well, well let me let me say this. My
Speaker 2: main reason for calling you is letting you know that
Speaker 2: league as of right now, is not going to be
Speaker 2: able to make the cut as far as what you
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be able to make the cut, as
Speaker 2: far as being on the team for this year. Now,

Speaker 4: I know he's a great kid. But wait man, now,
Speaker 4: he didn't play Pop Warner and he was a starting quarterback,
Speaker 4: So what are you talking about. He's not gonna make
Speaker 4: the team this year? He was the best say had
Speaker 4: out on that squad.
Speaker 2: Okay, and you know what, I've heard a lot about him.
Speaker 2: I heard he did a great job.
Speaker 4: Heard about him a wit a minute. Wait man, have
Speaker 4: you seen his death? Twenty touchdowns in the season? I
Speaker 4: dtand what the kids is out there doing that?
Speaker 2: But you know what, but right now, we got a
Speaker 2: lot of different kids that are coming into this particular school,
Speaker 2: so you know, the competition has gone greater and greater
Speaker 2: than what we could possibly understand.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, when this is seventh grade, first of all,
Speaker 4: everybody makes the team. Nobody gets cut in the first place.
Speaker 4: You got an A team and a B team. So
Speaker 4: you're telling me my baby ain't made none of.
Speaker 2: Them teams right right now? Mss lydia, Uh you know, Uhlik?
Speaker 2: Like I said, Malik is a great kid. I like it.
Speaker 4: I know what Milik is. I know that he's a
Speaker 4: great kid and he's a ballplayer. Now I make sure that,
Speaker 4: So don't come telling me that he's not good enough
Speaker 4: to make the cut on this seventh grade team. Well,
Speaker 4: telling me who is the quarterback? Who? Yeah, you tell
Speaker 4: me what's going on?
Speaker 2: Who is the quarterback? Well? Actually, right now, my son
Speaker 2: is the quarterback?
Speaker 4: Your son?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you know now, my son, yeah, is
Speaker 2: actually the quarterback. He hasn't done any pop warn or anything,
Speaker 2: but he really has what it takes to be.
