<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing you. Well, yeah, it's great. Everything's fine.

10
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, looking forward to kind of the summer sort of starting.

11
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 4>I guess we've still got a few u of a

12
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 4>sports to talk about, and the high schools seem like

13
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 4>they're wrapping things up.

14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 3>So today's going to be Championship Tuesday, just for your

15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>championship of schools.

16
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 4>I know I need to kind of refresh my high

17
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 4>school coverage brain. I haven't really done too much of

18
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 4>that in the last number of years. But you know,

19
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 4>we've got a couple of great champions here from the

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 4>Tucson area.

21
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Now that now that you're long gone from your your

22
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 3>TV gig, how when you did your sports did you

23
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>get feedback from college? Uh?

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Did you get like gratings?

25
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 3>Of what was important to people locally and how where

26
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 3>did where did high school fit?

27
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, in my mind, just because it's kind

28
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 4>of the bread and butter of what I did, I

29
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 4>thought it was important. But unfortunately, when we would get

30
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 4>a lot of research from whoever was doing that, high

31
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 4>school sports was was pretty low on the list. It

32
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 4>was kind of a shame because because it's just very

33
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 4>centralized to the teams and those people from those schools,

34
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 4>Like we go do a story, you know, on such

35
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 4>and such an athlete at you know whatever high school

36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 4>and they're happy about it.

37
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it makes sense. It was hard. It was hard.

38
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 3>So the bread and butter obviously was there Zona basketball, football, yeah,

39
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 3>the rest.

40
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but you know, I mean I grew up in

41
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 4>places where, at least from a TV standpoint, that that

42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 4>was what I had to do was high school school.

43
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Right. I would have to run out and find some stories.

44
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I didn't even know where I was going.

45
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 4>I just get in the car and drive and you know,

46
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 4>show up at a school during basketball practice and you know,

47
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 4>turn around a story.

48
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

49
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, nowadays, in the way the media is built and

50
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 3>concerning local, local, local, you know, if you have like

51
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 3>a small paper in town or whatever, and you cover

52
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 3>local stuff. That's what's kind of surviving or keeping papers survived,

53
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, alive. I should say the daily story is

54
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 3>has its issues, right, but it's a bigger thing, and

55
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't have the people to cover the high school.

56
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 3>It tries hard, obviously, but it's it's like you said,

57
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>it's it's it's more centralized. Like last night, CEO played

58
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 3>in the in the state title game up in Phoenix.

59
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 3>Channel four sent somebody up there. I don't know if

60
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 3>the other channels did too. I just got Channel four

61
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 3>and and they did a story and they led with

62
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>it because they lost the finals and they had graduation day.

63
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh I saw that.

64
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 3>So the story was, you know, here's ten or eight

65
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 3>nine kids, ladies who didn't go to graduation, but they

66
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 3>had a graduation for them after the game after the lost.

67
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 3>A cute story, right, a cute story. But to your point,

68
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 3>only the people probably a cdo care about that.

69
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but that was that that also breaks it out

70
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 4>where it is a little bit more than just the

71
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 4>softest results and the highlights and you know, the interviews

72
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 4>and things like that. But that's a that is a

73
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 4>good story. We would I would appreciate to seeing those

74
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 4>kinds of stories.

75
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Too, Yeah, because that's what you're there for, right to

76
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 3>tell the story other than the score.

77
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

78
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, with high school sports too, it

79
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>is a shame that the high school coverage is lacking.

80
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, not to bash the newspaper, but that was

81
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 4>a place you would always look on a Saturday morning. No,

82
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 4>we did it all the time. And you know, I

83
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 4>would call and we would have coaches call in and

84
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 4>parents call in with scores.

85
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>And things like that.

86
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 4>So it was a big deal, at least in my

87
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 4>day with with high schools.

88
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 6>Sure.

89
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Sure, that's when everybody was staffed fully right, or at

90
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 3>least to fully back then.

91
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you know we would maybe we definitely played

92
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 4>it big with high school.

93
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Football on Fridaday nights. But the usual partner was a film.

94
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 4>Had Phil Buehler, had Jake Knapp, had been our ned

95
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 4>had a few Serena Dorsey even way back when. So

96
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 4>we you know, we we you know, had a lot

97
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 4>of a lot of people.

98
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Going out there.

99
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 4>We would you know, try to hit maybe I don't know,

100
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 4>between five and seven games, just kind of depending on

101
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 4>the geography where the games were being played. And how

102
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 4>much we could get and get back to the station

103
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 4>in time, right, you know, to put things together. So

104
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 4>it was a it was a priority, especially on Fridays,

105
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 4>but beyond that, it was hard. There are so many

106
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 4>high school basketball games during the during the week, you

107
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 4>could almost turn around as a game. There must be

108
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 4>a game tonight, let's go out and cover that. But

109
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 4>football was definitely concentrated on those.

110
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Sure, sure, and I think if I can remember quickly,

111
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 3>you were one of the three that did the extended time.

112
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, on Friday nights.

113
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, thanks to our sales department, they could sell an

114
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 4>extra maybe couple commercial breaks, so we would go I

115
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 4>think to maybe ten forty ten forty five somethings like that.

116
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>And that'd be at the end of the show, show

117
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 2>right right, and go extra.

118
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 4>Which was good because it was a scramble sometimes getting

119
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 4>all that put together in the highlights and writing it

120
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 4>out and you know, trying to describe all the plays.

121
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 7>It was.

122
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 2>It was a challenging day.

123
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, good news about the softball and baseball teams here.

124
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we'll be getting the Empire softball coach. Coach

125
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 3>I just the lesson named Shannon. This is how bad.

126
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I I've got it.

127
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 3>Well Ridge, Well Rich Shannon Wooldridge, we communicated today. He'll

128
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 3>be calling us at three seventeen. And then Danny Prebble

129
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>from from the South Point. They won last night. They

130
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 3>easily eight zero up in Phoenix or against Phoenix team

131
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 3>all Free, I think it was. And so that was

132
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 3>a nice little win. I think you hadn't won the

133
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 3>title since twenty nineteen at some point, you know, once

134
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 3>again continues to be one of those schools down here

135
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>that as well, they.

136
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Can compete, that's for sure.

137
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 4>They can compete with the Phoenix area schools and they

138
00:05:59.319 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 4>always have.

139
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>So it's nice to have at least, you know, maybe one.

140
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 4>Chance you know, in that in that uh what five

141
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 4>A or four A whatever they are four to be

142
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 4>able to compete, that's good.

143
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 3>News, right right, Empire there was and then CEO. Like

144
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I said last night, there was a few of the

145
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 3>teams locally had had a shot at winning titles but

146
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 3>didn't CEO. And I'm not sure how you might text

147
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 3>me with the other one. I think there was four,

148
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know which ones. If you got all Sports

149
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 3>to sound, maybe I can know that I'm controlling this machine.

150
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Here Yeah, so we'll see.

151
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.759
<v Speaker 4>Rough go for the Wildcats softball team, and they've already

152
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 4>started to lose a few players of the transfer portal already,

153
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 4>So give me the one game. Well, for sure, I

154
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 4>used to Silva is going one of the pictures left

155
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 4>handed pitcher.

156
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's made an appearance Saturday. I think she was

157
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 3>the second one in after after the starter.

158
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 4>She went to Mountain View speaking at local. Yeah, she

159
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 4>was a local product. But you know, losing Devin Nats

160
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 4>and losing Miranda Stoddard, you know, who knows what the

161
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 4>pitching's task gonna look like a year from now? It's

162
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 4>right right.

163
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, we had a pretty good discussion yesterday with I had,

164
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 3>at least I did with with Troy and some people.

165
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Maybe Vic can calling because he texted me after the

166
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.959
<v Speaker 3>show talking about the show. He was pretty Troy was

167
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 3>pretty adamant in that the coaches mishandled the pictures. It's

168
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 3>been it's been a up and down year when you

169
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 3>only lose thirteen games.

170
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know enough about to talk

171
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>about that, but other people do.

172
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 3>And talked about the coach how she's kind of like,

173
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's middling now, it's not obviously the Candrea years,

174
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 3>which everybody compares everything to understandably or on or not

175
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>realistically whatever.

176
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, you know, she's a product of the

177
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 4>Carea system, and I think a lot of people expected

178
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 4>good things and it's been you know, it's been okay,

179
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 4>it's been good that you've gotten, you know, to some

180
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 4>pretty good spots in her time as the coach as

181
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 4>far as getting the World Series and winning championships and

182
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, competing the Big Twelve, which was tough when

183
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 4>there's really one great, great pitcher who dominated a texta attack.

184
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

185
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 4>So you know, still finished second in the conference, So

186
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, there's a not Unfortunately, you know, you're judged

187
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.879
<v Speaker 4>on how things end sometimes and you know, to lose

188
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.319
<v Speaker 4>in the first round basically or the first weekend is

189
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 4>not good.

190
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Sure, no, and we talked about that too. In basketball,

191
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 3>everything matters in March, yep and April if you get

192
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 3>to April, and everything in softball matters in May.

193
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean that's kind of how the team's going

194
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 4>to be remembered. Unfortunately, that's usually how things go. How

195
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 4>do they do that year? Oh wait, wait a minute,

196
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 4>they didn't make a past regional super regional that's going

197
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 4>to be. Yeah, yeah, that's the standard.

198
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 3>That The funny thing about is Kendrea is the grandfather

199
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 3>of all this, right, he created this monster, and the

200
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 3>monster's eating the program.

201
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it just is because the SEC has now kind

202
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 2>of taken over.

203
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well you could see that coming about ten years

204
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 4>ago when the SEC you know, got into it, into

205
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 4>the into you know, women's softball with these big football

206
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 4>stadiums and generating all kinds of money and it was

207
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 4>just that it had so much money to throw into

208
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 4>a Florida and Alabama and Georgia teams and that they've

209
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 4>had good success and you know, kind of passed by

210
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 4>the Pac twelve as it was.

211
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 3>Right, and they have a lot of teams in this tournament.

212
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Oklahoma is now the darling because of what they've done

213
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.200
<v Speaker 3>in the recent past. The number one team though, is

214
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>out with Texas A and M. But shocking, yeah, it is.

215
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 3>It is shocking. But here we are talking about softball

216
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 3>still in May, which is a good thing if you're

217
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 3>a nervor's old a fan, right, A bad thing if

218
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 3>you lose, you lose.

219
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a little bit of a surprise. I think everybody

220
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.679
<v Speaker 4>you know was shocked they lost that. What the second

221
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 4>game to Ole Miss and the second game of the weekend,

222
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, kind of put them behind the eight ball

223
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 4>and had to go, you know, through the loser's bracket

224
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 4>and you know, club them big time on the first

225
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 4>game on Sunday.

226
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 3>And don't do anything in the second game. Just the

227
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 3>way it goes. So how you play that day, how

228
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 3>you play that game?

229
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's interesting how it just did play out,

230
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 4>and that they really you know, they just destroyed them

231
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 4>in that first game, and there's all kinds of momentum

232
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.559
<v Speaker 4>and then literally you flip a switch and like a

233
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 4>forty five minutes later, it was almost a different team

234
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 4>was out there offensively, couldn't come up with a big hit.

235
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Right. You remember the glory days? Right? Did you go

236
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 2>to Oklaho? Oh many times? Yeah?

237
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I went early in the early nineties, first thing, and

238
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 3>then I covered the basket bustle.

239
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah we went.

240
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 4>We didn't go the first time they won a championship

241
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 4>because I don't think anybody even realized that they were

242
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 4>going to be that good. Yeah, and then all of

243
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 4>a sudden, it's like, oh wha wait a second, and

244
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 4>so then all of a sudden we started going. So

245
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 4>we we pretty much went every time that they were.

246
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:33.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a good week because they were there

247
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 3>for a long time. Yeah, for a long time, like

248
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 3>a week or so. You were guaranteed, like you know,

249
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>four or five days there, no matter what.

250
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, tornadoes, tornadoes.

251
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 4>Didn't have a tornado, but I think I remember one

252
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 4>year we got there just after a tornado. So, like

253
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 4>the neighborhoods around Oklahoma City were pretty well hit. But

254
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 4>we had some rainy days, rainy, and that would kind

255
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 4>of mess up the whole schedule too, because day lads. Yeah,

256
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean even I remember going back even that way

257
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 4>back when when U A went to Omaha in eighty six,

258
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 4>for example, there was rain and issues and we joked

259
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 4>we were like staying at Camp Omaha.

260
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 3>We were there for like ten days. Yeah, you know,

261
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.200
<v Speaker 3>got in like four games and what's the paper and

262
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 3>what's the TV?

263
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 2>You're coming back? Don't spend too much money, Yeah, what

264
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>you're still out there? Yeah, you know kind of thing.

265
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I think they lose, didn't they win? But no, it

266
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>allows a long week. I think we were there twelve days.

267
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it might have been the longest trip I ever

268
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 4>took Probably with U of a sports.

269
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 3>You wouldn't somebody else write your photographer. Probably back in

270
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 3>the day when you didn't have to worry about it,

271
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>you weren't the photographer. No, you know what I'm saying,

272
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 3>because nowadays everybody's their own photographer.

273
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 5>True.

274
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 3>True, I'm glad you're I'm sure you're glad you're out

275
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 3>of it. Oh maybe no, I don't know.

276
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, you know what what would I have been

277
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 4>doing on Sunday night at ten o'clock this best Sunday out.

278
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 4>They're doing postgame interviews after they lose.

279
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.840
<v Speaker 2>That's not fun. The NETS interview was did you see it?

280
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 3>She was, you know, down trying to upset, right, yeah, yeah,

281
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 3>And those are sad times to watch. But it's makes

282
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 3>for good video, good TV, you know what I'm saying.

283
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Not that it's I'm trying to say that's good or bad,

284
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 3>but it's it's it's part of the story.

285
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 2>It's dramatic, it's draumatic story, and you know, they feel

286
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>sure bad. It's it's been their life. Yeah, the last

287
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>four years.

288
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about you, and I think about this

289
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 3>at the time when I go into a losing locker room. Uh,

290
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.879
<v Speaker 3>and it's not death obviously, that's the painful stories, all right, Uh,

291
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>unless the family wants to talk about it. You know

292
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 3>how I went through it just recently. But the worst

293
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 3>place to be is the locker room and been losing

294
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 3>team because one it's hard to get stuff and it's

295
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 3>hard to paint a picture. Although the pictures right there

296
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 3>with the towels over their heads and right, YadA YadA.

297
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean we were in some sad ones in

298
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 4>basketball for sure. Football too. Football maybe not as much

299
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 4>because then you know, you lose a bowl game whatever,

300
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 4>maybe you're you're nine to three year instead.

301
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 3>Of well rich, except if you're rich Router and you

302
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.000

453
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 5>as well in fifteen, seventeen, twenty four, and twenty five.

454
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh this is you know, which is your favorite kid?

455
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 2>You've had so many?

456
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Speaker 5>Oh man. So someone asked me this question last week

457
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.720
<v Speaker 5>and I said the most recent one. But honestly, they're

458
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:38.279
<v Speaker 5>all special for different reasons.

459
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what about last night or the last weekends? What

460
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 3>is special about it?

461
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.079
<v Speaker 5>We went back to back. You know, it's not easy

462
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 5>to do. I've never been a part of any any

463
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 5>championship well, I mean, all championship teams try to go

464
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.599
<v Speaker 5>back to back. But I really felt like this season

465
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.920
<v Speaker 5>we had the team to do it. We lost three

466
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 5>seniors last season and we had a great core coming back,

467
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 5>so I definitely felt like we could do it.

468
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

469
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.839
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, just looking at you know, some of the stories

470
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker 4>about this last game and your season with with Kendall

471
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:13.160
<v Speaker 4>twenty and one record sixteen strikeouts in the championships. So

472
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 4>maybe just maybe talk about her and how dominant she's

473
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 4>been all year.

474
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 5>Oh man, she is. What a blessing she has been

475
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.799
<v Speaker 5>to our program. You know, she she had a decent

476
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.039
<v Speaker 5>freshman year, like freshmen do, and then you know, between

477
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.880
<v Speaker 5>her freshmen and sophomore year, she really grew up. And

478
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:30.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, I knew she'd be good for us, but

479
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 5>I never would have imagined that she would go go

480
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 5>on to do what she did, and you know, she

481
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 5>finished strong. I'm proud of her for that. You know,

482
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 5>sometimes kids will have a you know, good sophomore junior

483
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.200
<v Speaker 5>year and then they you know, kind of take her

484
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 5>foot off the gas a little bit. But Kendall did

485
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 5>the opposite of that. She just really cranked things up

486
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.599
<v Speaker 5>to a point where, you know, late in the season,

487
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.440
<v Speaker 5>my daughter, who also coaches with us, that she's not losing.

488
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:53.720
<v Speaker 7>Dad.

489
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what to tell you and why I

490
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 5>know that, but she's not going to lose. And I'm like,

491
00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 5>I hope you're right.

492
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Was she was? She was? She raced last year? Was

493
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 2>she when you went to.

494
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, she's been our race, the last since her sophomore year.

495
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>So what does she do? M's been a record in

496
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 2>three years. Must be fantastic.

497
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I think she's only lost four times since her

498
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.759
<v Speaker 5>sophomore maybe maybe her entire career. I think she's only

499
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 5>lost four times. And then I know she had some

500
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, more than sixty lines or something like that.

501
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.519
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, we're going to miss her, that's for sure.

502
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.720
<v Speaker 2>She's going to Weaver State in Utah, which is her

503
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 2>next next week.

504
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, she's going to Weber State, and Wever State's luck

505
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.519
<v Speaker 5>either a getting a good one. Yeah.

506
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.480
<v Speaker 3>So so after last year's championship, like you said, you

507
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 3>probably thought this year would be good too. How confident

508
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 3>were you, Although that's a dumb question for a coach

509
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 3>because you're never confident until you get there, right, So

510
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.440
<v Speaker 3>you had the core coming back.

511
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but you know, every year presents new challenges. That's

512
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.079
<v Speaker 5>what I've learned, you know, And obviously the challenges this

513
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.880
<v Speaker 5>year we're trying to fill the positions of those three seniors,

514
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, their roles, and then we had some you know,

515
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.279
<v Speaker 5>we had some new kids coming in, so trying to

516
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.680
<v Speaker 5>figure out how they were going to fit in there's

517
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.079
<v Speaker 5>always this process that you go through of you know,

518
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:14.400
<v Speaker 5>when you come back together in February, just you know,

519
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.839
<v Speaker 5>helping everyone you know jive and get connected, and you

520
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 5>know that always takes a little bit of time, but

521
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 5>you know, it took a little bit of time this year.

522
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.119
<v Speaker 5>This year was no different than previous years. But you know,

523
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:29.119
<v Speaker 5>once we got all all those relationships cemented, I feel like,

524
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, we we were able to start taking off

525
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:33.839
<v Speaker 5>and we kind of did that in a Badger Classic

526
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 5>when we're playing the Tucson High Tournament. That's when I

527
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 5>felt like we are clicking on all cylinders right now.

528
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:39.640
<v Speaker 5>This is awesome.

529
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you know, tell us a little bit about maybe

530
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 4>just softball in southern Arizona.

531
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.839
<v Speaker 2>We've we've covered it.

532
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 4>We know there's a great history, but I mean we're

533
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 4>talking now ten years in a row in three A,

534
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.119
<v Speaker 4>a team from down here has won.

535
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 2>The state championship. Why is that happening?

536
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean, I think it's a credit to the

537
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.799
<v Speaker 5>club circuit. You know, I think there's you know, quite

538
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 5>a few girls playing competitive ball and also the pitching.

539
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 5>You know, three A doesn't I don't think they get

540
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.160
<v Speaker 5>enough credit because we've got We've had good pictures in

541
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.480
<v Speaker 5>three for the last ten years, you know, pictures that

542
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 5>have gone on to pitch at the next level. And

543
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 5>this year in our own region, you know, you had Kendall,

544
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.720
<v Speaker 5>you had Avery Neilson over at Sabino, and then Claire

545
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 5>over a Tanka Verdie. I mean that's three Division one

546
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.359
<v Speaker 5>caliber pitchers right there. So the pitching has been really,

547
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 5>really good.

548
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well, you guys are making each other better to

549
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 3>facing the competition.

550
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, for sure. I mean definitely. When the bracket came

551
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:43.359
<v Speaker 5>out and I saw that we were playing Sabino and

552
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 5>Tanka very I'm like, Wow, this ain't gonna be.

553
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.880
<v Speaker 15>But what it is?

554
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Right, So you've been coaching for a while now, you

555
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 3>continue a white change, right.

556
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. So I've been coaching the twenty five years and

557
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 5>I started in club and took over Empire in twenty thirteen.

558
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm fifty six and I still really and

559
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 5>I'm still fired up as ever, and I enjoy it.

560
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.359
<v Speaker 5>And I'm going to miss our seniors like crazy. I've

561
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 5>cried once or twice, but you know, I'm already looking

562
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.440
<v Speaker 5>the next year and what we got coming back, and

563
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.039
<v Speaker 5>we got coming in and you know, we'll just try

564
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 5>and do it again.

565
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.240
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned you mentioned clubs, So now where do some

566
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 4>of these girls go during the summer.

567
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Did they go on.

568
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 4>And join us with a club, maybe play with other

569
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 4>players from around southern Arizona, other you know, other high

570
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 4>school kids.

571
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I would say that, Like, yeah, so for example,

572
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 5>on our team, and I think we have five or

573
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:38.119
<v Speaker 5>six different uh uh, five or six different clubs represented.

574
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 5>You know, some are with me, some are with our

575
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.920
<v Speaker 5>assistant coach, and then various other teams. And yeah, the

576
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 5>thing is is that, you know, when high school teams

577
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.440
<v Speaker 5>get together, a lot of them are club teammates. They

578
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.799
<v Speaker 5>play each other throughout the year. So it's kind of

579
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 5>an interesting phenomenon really, but you know, it's it's kind

580
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.319
<v Speaker 5>of neat. You know, you battle, and you can we're

581
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.359
<v Speaker 5>all competing in the win, but then afterwards, you know,

582
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 5>they're still the best of friends, which is kind of cool.

583
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:06.759
<v Speaker 3>So are you doing do you do? See what you

584
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.799
<v Speaker 3>just said? You so you coach club as well after

585
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 3>the high school season is over, you coach in the summer, Yes,

586
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 3>I do. And how's that? And and you're talking about

587
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I missed this, but the pitching

588
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 3>because obviously in softball that's the number priority.

589
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:22.880
<v Speaker 2>If you have a good picture, you have a chance.

590
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:24.799
<v Speaker 2>How are they becoming so good?

591
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 5>How are the pictures becoming so good?

592
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

593
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 5>Oh, well, they work at it. You know, they all

594
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 5>have pitching coaches, and you know, most of them play

595
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 5>on club teams that play challenging schedules, which which pushes

596
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.119
<v Speaker 5>them to be better. You know, there's just you know,

597
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:44.799
<v Speaker 5>they're just you know, it's a cliche, but you know

598
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.160
<v Speaker 5>they're putting in the time and their parents are paying

599
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.680
<v Speaker 5>for their lessons, and that they're playing on teams at

600
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 5>push them.

601
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 4>And as far as the exposure, did they get seen

602
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 4>more during the summer or do they get seen more

603
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.599
<v Speaker 4>during the high school seasons these days?

604
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 5>For Oh yeah, yeah, sorry to interrupt you, but yea,

605
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 5>as far as college exposure goes, yeah, it's uh, it's

606
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 5>all happening in the summer in the fall.

607
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, So you must get in your club team.

608
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a lot of the girls play for you?

609
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Or you said your assistant has some of them too,

610
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 3>But how's that spread out?

611
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's just well, what do you mean how is

612
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:25.920
<v Speaker 5>it spread out?

613
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Like if you have maybe fifteen in a roster eighteen.

614
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what a high school roster contrives of

615
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 3>or comprises what like, you get maybe five and your

616
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 3>assistant gets five and just happens standardly go who they

617
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 3>want to play.

618
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, we're both with different organizations. Her team's a little

619
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:43.480
<v Speaker 5>bit younger, you know, she started with her team when

620
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 5>they were you know, she's got kids from you know,

621
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 5>not just Empire, but from all over they sure, you know,

622
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:51.039
<v Speaker 5>that's that's the same way with me too. I mean

623
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:54.599
<v Speaker 5>I've got uh, you know, kids from all over the city.

624
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, not just this part of town, but you

625
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 5>know northwest part of town as well. It's just, you know,

626
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:03.079
<v Speaker 5>we kind of look at as a place where kids

627
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.000
<v Speaker 5>a competitive place where kids get to come play.

628
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.279
<v Speaker 2>So do you have a nucleus to make it a

629
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 2>three piece next year?

630
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's going to be entirely different year next year,

631
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, because we're losing six starters. But we've got

632
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:20.480
<v Speaker 5>some key kids coming back and some and some you know,

633
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 5>some new kids coming in. It's just you know, my

634
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 5>daughter reminded me she was on the twenty fifteen team,

635
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker 5>but that was her favorite championships. She said, that's kind

636
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.640
<v Speaker 5>of when the wheels were put in the motion that

637
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, the expectation when you come to Empire is,

638
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, we're going to compete for championships, and so

639
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.839
<v Speaker 5>even though it'll be pretty much an entirely different team

640
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 5>next year, you know, the goal is still the same.

641
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 5>But you know, the goal is the same, but all

642
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 5>the little little things that we do during the season

643
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 5>to get us to that point, you know, that's honestly,

644
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.039
<v Speaker 5>that's probably my favorite part more than anything. The championships

645
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:54.319
<v Speaker 5>are awesome, but I love the journey, especially with the

646
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 5>kids that we get that Empire. They're just you know,

647
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 5>they're great kids, they're good students, and you know they're

648
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 5>buying into what you're doing. So it makes it all worthwhile.

649
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.119
<v Speaker 3>Do you Part of that journey is probably having a

650
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.680
<v Speaker 3>second picture, do you she gonna be the number one?

651
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.559
<v Speaker 3>Is having them now turning into a number one picture.

652
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 5>So next year we will have we're gonna have h

653
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.480
<v Speaker 5>three or four, maybe five pictures in our program, which

654
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:21.039
<v Speaker 5>will be Yeah, it'll be something new for us, So

655
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, I don't We'll see how it all shakes out.

656
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 5>You know, in the past, we've if we've got a

657
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.160
<v Speaker 5>hot hand. We you know, we ride the hot hands

658
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 5>and then but the man if we and there was

659
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:32.839
<v Speaker 5>one year where we had two dynamite pictures and you know,

660
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 5>we have a back and forth. So I don't know,

661
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:37.079
<v Speaker 5>we'll have to see who steps up next year.

662
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, And like you said, you're getting attention from

663
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 4>Division one schools and what other schools besides uh Leaver

664
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:45.440
<v Speaker 4>State have looked at some of your players just out

665
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.119
<v Speaker 4>of curiosity.

666
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no problem. So we have two kids that are

667
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:55.000
<v Speaker 5>going to Northern Colorado, Abbey ZiT Bay and ave a Piece.

668
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 5>They're going to go to Northern Colorado. And then we've

669
00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:59.400
<v Speaker 5>got a girl up on the Arizon, a Christian. And

670
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 5>then our sh stop, Angie Taylor, is going to pem Up.

671
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh nice, okay, great, yeah yeah. So let me ask

672
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.400
<v Speaker 3>you a weird question. You're fifty six, which is relatively young.

673
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, so you can thank you me.

674
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:13.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

675
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm sixty and I feel it's nice to feel

676
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:20.000
<v Speaker 3>young coach, and you've been twenty five years. Has the

677
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:25.599
<v Speaker 3>athlete to coach different than it was twenty five fifteen

678
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 3>years ago?

679
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh gosh, you know what, I don't know. That's hard

680
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 5>to say. You know, we all think that things are

681
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:34.119
<v Speaker 5>different now right than they used to be, not just

682
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.599
<v Speaker 5>with such sports, but just with a lot of things.

683
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.799
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, you know, I don't know, you know

684
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:42.880
<v Speaker 5>I would. I've been just very fortunate with the kids

685
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:46.359
<v Speaker 5>that come through Empire. I just I feel like the

686
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 5>characteristics have been consistently the same. You know, in my time,

687
00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 5>there just great kids, good students, hard workers, were willing

688
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 5>to you know, to kind of do what it takes,

689
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:58.920
<v Speaker 5>subscribe to the team, and you know, try to help

690
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 5>team in games. So I feel like my experience, you know,

691
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 5>for the most part, the good kids that I worked

692
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.240
<v Speaker 5>with twenty five years ago, or you know, the same

693
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.640
<v Speaker 5>good kids that I'm working with today.

694
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, if I could real quick, does how does your

695
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.319
<v Speaker 3>daughter being on the sideline help you? Because she's relatively

696
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:21.200
<v Speaker 3>young I figured maybe twenty eight, twenty nine, and handling

697
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the girls too, so you.

698
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 5>Know, having her and then having Canvas who also is

699
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.240
<v Speaker 5>a former player, and Alley Hill a former player. Honestly

700
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 5>all three of them because they have extensive softball background

701
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.119
<v Speaker 5>and playing at a high level, you know, they bring

702
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.519
<v Speaker 5>that to the table, and then just they just have

703
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 5>a you know, I feel like I relate to the

704
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 5>kids pretty well, but they just as women. They just

705
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 5>relate to the girls on a whole different level that

706
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:54.279
<v Speaker 5>I cannot. And you know, so it's you know, one

707
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.559
<v Speaker 5>thing I've learned too is so there's that piece and

708
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.119
<v Speaker 5>just also you know, not being afraid to say, you

709
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 5>know what, you know, what do you think? Do you

710
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 5>think is this going?

711
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 15>Okay?

712
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.559
<v Speaker 5>Do you have a better idea? You know, I'm just

713
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, one piece into a lot of little pieces

714
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.599
<v Speaker 5>that that make this thing go. And I just you know,

715
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:14.319
<v Speaker 5>I really kind of rely on their experience, knowledge and

716
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:17.880
<v Speaker 5>expertise to you know, basically just try to be the

717
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.200
<v Speaker 5>best we can be and try to provide the best

718
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 5>experience that we can for the kids that we have.

746
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:25.799
<v Speaker 3>from Loot. It was a labor of love through the

747
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.720
<v Speaker 3>eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to

748
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 3>give insight to the coach and the man who led them,

749
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 3>competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for

750

<v Speaker 3>If you want to call in talk about what we

817
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:13.800
<v Speaker 3>talked about yesterday and you texted me yesterday, you could

818
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 3>talk about that.

819
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker 2>It was softball.

820
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, everyone has their thoughts right when things could do bad,

821
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:21.119
<v Speaker 3>everybody has their thoughts. They come out of the woodwork. Yeah,

822
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:22.280
<v Speaker 3>everybody has an opinion.

823
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

824
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know one thing about it too, is you

825
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:26.320
<v Speaker 4>actually see it on TV too. A lot of people

826
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:29.480
<v Speaker 4>that didn't really watch maybe that closely up until yeah,

827
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:31.239
<v Speaker 4>yes laest weekend. I O, hey, wait a seconk, what's

828
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:33.559
<v Speaker 4>going on? Why is she pitching? Why is she taking

829
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:35.079
<v Speaker 4>the right games? So I think a lot of people

830
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:35.800
<v Speaker 4>were questioning that.

831
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 2>True.

832
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.920
<v Speaker 4>But then again too, a lot of the games were

833
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 4>on television during the season. But you know, just the

834
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:44.480
<v Speaker 4>way things wrapped up, Yeah, there's always somebody pointing fingers

835
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 4>to somebody.

836
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, do you know how to cook?

837
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm seriously, no, I was gonna say if you did,

838
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:52.480
<v Speaker 3>do you know how to cook well? And tell people

839
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:56.320
<v Speaker 3>how to cook? No, you know what I'm saying, Just

840
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.960
<v Speaker 3>because you know how to cook doesn't mean you can cook. Well, yeah,

841
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.679
<v Speaker 3>these people watch her whatever. And the funny thing about it,

842
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 3>I was always talking to Troy yesterday and he was

843
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:07.400
<v Speaker 3>pretty tough on the team and tough on the coach

844
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.519
<v Speaker 3>with Kaitlin, and I'm thinking I was I'm probably him

845
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:12.960
<v Speaker 3>for basketball and not that I'm tough on the money

846
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.400
<v Speaker 3>these critical and when people complain and complain and complaining,

847
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking I'm being an alibi guy. And yesterday I

848
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.480
<v Speaker 3>was being an albi guy. And I'm thinking I don't

849
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.679
<v Speaker 3>know enough to be an alibi guy. So yeah, I'll

850
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:24.880
<v Speaker 3>just let him kind of run with it.

851
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, you're we've always been observers and we

852
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:29.840
<v Speaker 4>kind of have an opinion on things.

853
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.920
<v Speaker 2>So with a phone call coming in, yeah, we got

854
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:33.280
<v Speaker 2>to call who's this here on the air?

855
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Hey?

856
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Vic is back?

857
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 3>Vic is back? So you you touched me yesterday? What

858
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:39.280
<v Speaker 3>did you say to me.

859
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.599
<v Speaker 15>On the Arizona Tay Well, first, I want to kind

860
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.760
<v Speaker 15>of interject on the Shannon Woolridge interview, which is great,

861
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:51.760
<v Speaker 15>but he's a little bit modern on his travel circuit. Man,

862
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.679
<v Speaker 15>those dudes work their chos off. He's got girls and

863
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:01.679
<v Speaker 15>he's gonna probably be in California Colorado for the Big

864
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:06.159
<v Speaker 15>Showcase tournament, and I think they even go to Texas nowadays.

865
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.480
<v Speaker 15>But that he's the reason that these girls get recruited.

866
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:13.800
<v Speaker 15>And a ton of these Tucson girls, like he said,

867
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 15>we're trying about that with parents, Steve the other day. Yeah,

868
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:20.280
<v Speaker 15>they're they're playing out of Phoenix now, which where all

869
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 15>the high profile teams are. There's only a couple in

870
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.320
<v Speaker 15>Tucson that are that are worthy of the national circuit,

871
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:31.559
<v Speaker 15>which one of them is Shannon's team. But like that

872
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.559
<v Speaker 15>girl he mentioned from Kek a Verty Claire, she's a sophomore.

873
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.639
<v Speaker 15>Oh my god, Steve, You've never seen a kid work

874
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:41.559
<v Speaker 15>as hard in your life as that girl and her

875
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:44.519
<v Speaker 15>parents take her to Phoenix. Uh she's on one of

876
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:46.239
<v Speaker 15>the premiere Phoenix teams.

877
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:46.800
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

878
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.760
<v Speaker 15>Just she's the only one to beat Shannon this year.

879
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 15>His record I think was twenty something in one and

880
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:54.960
<v Speaker 15>they lost to Tank a Verty in Claire.

881
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.360
<v Speaker 3>So let me before you go into what we discussed yesterday,

882
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.400
<v Speaker 3>and like I hope you do. Uh, what is his

883
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:03.239
<v Speaker 3>secret sauce? And if he's modest, because he's did sound that,

884
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:06.000
<v Speaker 3>what is his secret sauce? You?

885
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.840
<v Speaker 15>Uh, it's tough. You gotta be tough, kind of one

886
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:14.159
<v Speaker 15>of those ones that, uh the like the Pied Pipers

887
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:17.239
<v Speaker 15>that the girls follow. Obviously, you have to have the

888
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:21.960
<v Speaker 15>longevity and like I said, actually you've gotta be one

889
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:25.320
<v Speaker 15>of those teams that plays in the right tournament. I mean,

890
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:29.800
<v Speaker 15>there's teams in Tucson that are they're okay, but it's

891
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:33.239
<v Speaker 15>like playing, you know, at a Mama's Day game. You're

892
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.800
<v Speaker 15>not going to be seen unless you go with somebody

893
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:39.800
<v Speaker 15>like Shannon or the Phoenix teams or the California teams.

894
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.159
<v Speaker 15>I was talking Mondo Ketos. He drove Rebecca to California

895
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:48.599
<v Speaker 15>every weekend for the Firecrackers every weekend. I mean, can

896
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 15>you imagine driving from Tucson to California every can go

897
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 15>weekend to play.

898
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:56.320
<v Speaker 4>She just couldn't get good enough games in Arizona or

899
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:57.119
<v Speaker 4>at least in Tucson.

900
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:01.360
<v Speaker 15>No, you can't. You those teams are our high profile

901
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:05.320
<v Speaker 15>and obviously when Mike Kendraan needs a player, he calls

902
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.639
<v Speaker 15>the Firecrackers and Batbusters and Corona Angels, and there's just

903
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:12.400
<v Speaker 15>not any of those teams in Tucson.

904
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, so.

905
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.960
<v Speaker 15>There's the players, there's players in Tucson, but there's you know,

906
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.880
<v Speaker 15>few and far between, and you've got to leave the

907
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 15>city to go and play on those teams. And it's

908
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:26.360
<v Speaker 15>kind of sad, but it's it's definitely a true statement.

909
00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:28.840
<v Speaker 15>In any softball person will tell you that.

910
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so now that you've kind of proven that you

911
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:32.960
<v Speaker 3>know the game, and I know you do because you

912
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:37.519
<v Speaker 3>had you had girls in it. Our discussion yesterday, you

913
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:38.559
<v Speaker 3>agreed with.

914
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Troy is right now.

915
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:43.320
<v Speaker 15>I agreed with Troy all the way to point. But

916
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:46.239
<v Speaker 15>you know what, guys, both of you guys know it's

917
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:49.559
<v Speaker 15>it's tough. We're not at practice. We don't know why

918
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:53.239
<v Speaker 15>those other girls don't get a chance. I know for

919
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:56.800
<v Speaker 15>a fact that the fan base is fear yes with Conrad,

920
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:01.239
<v Speaker 15>they to the point of they hate them, and it's

921
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 15>because he didn't use some of the pictures they wanted

922
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:08.559
<v Speaker 15>or whoever. But we're not at practice, and then you

923
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:11.079
<v Speaker 15>don't know if they're not. You know, he might say

924
00:42:11.199 --> 00:42:14.280
<v Speaker 15>take ten laps and they run nine, you know, and

925
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:16.719
<v Speaker 15>then he says, okay, well you don't want it. You

926
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.719
<v Speaker 15>don't want that mountain time some to that effect. I mean,

927
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker 15>I'm being silly with that, but we just don't know

928
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 15>He's an analytics guy, that's for sure. He's one of

929
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:30.559
<v Speaker 15>those guys that measures spin, raid and all that kind

930
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.079
<v Speaker 15>of stuff. And and does that fly in the game

931
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.039
<v Speaker 15>or do you go with your heart? I mean, people

932
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:39.760
<v Speaker 15>have wanted Dave Roberts dead for the last what ten

933
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:43.239
<v Speaker 15>years because he's an analytics analytics guy and takes the

934
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:47.480
<v Speaker 15>lefty out to face the other variety and that and

935
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:50.039
<v Speaker 15>people say, you know, hey, the guy four for four

936
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:55.960
<v Speaker 15>leave the men. But but that's how Conrad is. And

937
00:42:55.960 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker 15>and then you know, Caitlin, she has made some heads

938
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:04.119
<v Speaker 15>gratchet movements. I mean in the Big Trump Championship. You guys,

939
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:05.840
<v Speaker 15>you tell me this is just off the top of

940
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:11.519
<v Speaker 15>our heads. She pitched her fourth maybe fifth pitcher when

941
00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:14.320
<v Speaker 15>she had nets ready to go.

942
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Who does that?

943
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:18.840
<v Speaker 15>Like, you'd be crucified if I was back in Almani

944
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.559
<v Speaker 15>and I pitched my second pitcher and not my eighth.

945
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.440
<v Speaker 15>They burned me at the stake. Yeah, fourth or fifth pitcher,

946
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:30.719
<v Speaker 15>not her second, not her third, her like her fourth

947
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 15>or fifth.

948
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So so who in the heck does that?

949
00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker 15>Yeah?

950
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:35.280
<v Speaker 2>So okay, So that's two things.

951
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Let me also say that De Troy was talking about recruiting,

952
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:41.280
<v Speaker 3>and you know the girls out in California. He says,

953
00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I go to go to Texas, get out of California

954
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:47.679
<v Speaker 3>as much or not as much as possible. But you

955
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:50.079
<v Speaker 3>don't do that. But there are also kids everywhere else.

956
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:52.639
<v Speaker 6>You know this he was.

957
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:54.400
<v Speaker 15>Boy, he kind of hit it on the head when

958
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 15>he said, you have to start turning over stones and

959
00:43:56.639 --> 00:44:00.519
<v Speaker 15>other places. You know. Kennedy I think, comes from Kansas,

960
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.400
<v Speaker 15>the Texas Tech girl, and Jordi Balls from Nebraska and

961
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:08.039
<v Speaker 15>she's in the Supers. She's amazing. We do have a

962
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:12.960
<v Speaker 15>picture coming in from Texas this year and she's supposed

963
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.440
<v Speaker 15>to be you know, she's like the number four recruit

964
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:19.000
<v Speaker 15>in the nation. So if she can come in and

965
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.440
<v Speaker 15>maybe that'll turn Kaitlin towards recruiting in different places. And

966
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:26.840
<v Speaker 15>I'm sure they do. And once again, going back to

967
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:32.199
<v Speaker 15>that travel ball circuit, it used to be Batbusters, Corona Angels, Firecrackers,

968
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.280
<v Speaker 15>and that was it. That's who won TGF and ASA

969
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:41.760
<v Speaker 15>and Alliance. But nowadays it is there's Texas Glory and

970
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.960
<v Speaker 15>East Cop Bullets and all those Midwestern teams and they

971
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.480
<v Speaker 15>never used to have a chance, and now they come

972
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:50.000
<v Speaker 15>in and they win those things down.

973
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So he's right on that.

974
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:57.360
<v Speaker 4>The girl that's coming in is Riley Holder from Texas,

975
00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.079
<v Speaker 4>like one of the top pictures in the country.

976
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Supposely, big tall girl, five foot eleven.

977
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:03.800
<v Speaker 15>He's like one of the tie as he hits too.

978
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:06.199
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, So Vic, let me give you this to

979
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.559
<v Speaker 3>uh that a that block in basketball, we know it exists.

980
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:15.239
<v Speaker 3>It's a real thing in softball. I'm assuming it still exists,

981
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.760
<v Speaker 3>or does it? And if it does, where does it

982
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 3>lie in the grand scheme of the levels of other schools,

983
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:23.159
<v Speaker 3>Tennessee's and the Oklahomas.

984
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Where is it?

985
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:27.599
<v Speaker 15>It's definitely at the top. And anybody that tells you not.

986
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:32.000
<v Speaker 15>And you know what, Steve, you're one pitcher away. Imagine

987
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.320
<v Speaker 15>if they had gotten Kennedy instead of going to Texas Tech,

988
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:39.320
<v Speaker 15>then you're back on top and you're you're back on

989
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:43.000
<v Speaker 15>the Holy rail. So you're one pitture away. She needs

990
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:47.800
<v Speaker 15>to get one pitcher and you're back on top.

991
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Well that's the.

992
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:51.920
<v Speaker 15>Look at Look at Florida. Florida was on top for

993
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.599
<v Speaker 15>ten years and they haven't got that picture the last

994
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:58.000
<v Speaker 15>few years. And I mean they still go to regionals

995
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:01.079
<v Speaker 15>and maybe even Supers, but they're Florida is not what

996
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:06.039
<v Speaker 15>they were because that pitching coach left and went to Oklahoma.

997
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:07.880
<v Speaker 2>So their recruiting call for next.

998
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:10.880
<v Speaker 15>You're just you're one pitcher away. That's that's what you are.

999
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:12.400
<v Speaker 15>And then you're back on top.

1000
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.760
<v Speaker 4>They've got an infielder coming in from San Diego they have.

1001
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:19.639
<v Speaker 15>And he he hit that Hawaiian girl also hit bombs.

1002
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 4>And then hold her from Texas and Molly Daily from

1003
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Tucson here.

1004
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:30.760
<v Speaker 15>So they they she's recruited. Wow, she has sniffing there. Uh,

1005
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.599
<v Speaker 15>she got to catcher from Washington and the portal Reagan

1006
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.800
<v Speaker 15>Shockey is just he's amazing. If you guys haven't seen her,

1007
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:41.320
<v Speaker 15>she's worth the price of admission to go to a game.

1008
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:45.519
<v Speaker 15>Our center fielder, he's just amazing. I mean, she should

1009
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:46.239
<v Speaker 15>run track at you.

1010
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:49.000
<v Speaker 2>They also she's quick. Yeah.

1011
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, and what you're saying is the case for every

1012
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:52.960
<v Speaker 3>team one pitture away.

1013
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:56.079
<v Speaker 15>And and it's right, and I mean that's there's no

1014
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:59.880
<v Speaker 15>truer statement. They'll see, you're one pitcher away. You you

1015
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:03.679
<v Speaker 15>can hit ten bombs of game. And if you don't

1016
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:07.320
<v Speaker 15>have that picture, you're gonna lose. What happened there actually right.

1017
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:09.440
<v Speaker 4>And the thing too is, you know, okay, so they

1018
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:12.599
<v Speaker 4>get this the girl here from Texas and everybody sees that.

1019
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:15.159
<v Speaker 4>Other pictures see that, and they don't want to come here, right,

1020
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:17.039
<v Speaker 4>They just don't want to compete against her.

1021
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Is that sometimes what happens.

1022
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:20.559
<v Speaker 15>That that kind of you know, that's kind of a

1023
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:24.440
<v Speaker 15>true statement too. But then huck the Oklahoma hoards four

1024
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:24.840
<v Speaker 15>of them.

1025
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well guess what, Nil, I'm assuming that's there's another.

1026
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.079
<v Speaker 15>Issue another two statement.

1027
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Too, because that's hit that point and Oklahoma's wink wink

1028
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:36.519
<v Speaker 3>may have been playing paying them for a while at

1029
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:37.840
<v Speaker 3>least that I that's what I do.

1030
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:41.239
<v Speaker 4>You know, even in the heyday, Mike Kendrea would he

1031
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:43.400
<v Speaker 4>would have you know, the a's like a you know,

1032
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.199
<v Speaker 4>Jennin to make Nancy Effens. But there was always a

1033
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.119
<v Speaker 4>number two picture who was pretty darn good too.

1034
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:51.880
<v Speaker 15>So yeah, but in the old days day they they

1035
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.159
<v Speaker 15>went with one. Nowadays you do use two and three.

1036
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:58.199
<v Speaker 15>In the old days, Jenny Finch carried the bulk of

1037
00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:02.679
<v Speaker 15>the load. Karen Mowatt pitched every Alisha Hallowell pitched every

1038
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.880
<v Speaker 15>single inning. Colannie Ricketts at Oklahoma pitched every single inning.

1039
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:12.199
<v Speaker 15>Now they do use a bullpen, and that's kind of

1040
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:18.199
<v Speaker 15>changed in the last five years. So there is you know, uh,

1041
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:21.320
<v Speaker 15>a necessity to get one or two pictures nowadays.

1042
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well they have a few. One just left right

1043
00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:24.880
<v Speaker 3>and still was left.

1044
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:27.000
<v Speaker 15>The two just left man and left also.

1045
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:29.360

1053
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:52.039
<v Speaker 15>I said, wow, she has a four point something e

<v Speaker 15>And she got time didn't Pat? Oh terrible? Can I say,

1056
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:04.320

<v Speaker 2>It was awesome, great, Thank you, thanks for giving us

1062
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:16.599
<v Speaker 2>that insight.

1063
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, yeah, So when you asked Shannon about that,

1064
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:22.159
<v Speaker 3>you know stuff, you could tell that even in his voice,

1065
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.559
<v Speaker 3>he was really downplaying the success of him.

1066
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1067
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Well he didn't want to brag. Yeah yeah, but still,

1068
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:30.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean four, come on, that doesn't happen. Getting one's tough,

1069
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:32.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, getting for is pretty good. Yeah, and just

1070
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:35.239
<v Speaker 3>you know that because he he was just but not

1071
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:37.840
<v Speaker 3>a monotone, but he was you know, okay, this is

1072
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:38.360
<v Speaker 3>what we got.

1073
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, very proud.

1074
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:43.880
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting just to see them having success at that

1075
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 4>level and the high school level maybe you know, not

1076
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:48.079
<v Speaker 4>the top of the high schools, and having all this

1077
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 4>success just year after year.

1078
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:50.639
<v Speaker 2>It's great.

1079
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.079
<v Speaker 4>And then they're generating, you know, get some their education,

1080
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.440
<v Speaker 4>continuing somewhere else and playing somewhere else.

1081
00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.039
<v Speaker 3>So that's just a great story, right, yeah, no question.

1082
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.159
<v Speaker 3>And of course, like you talked about southern areasone, uh,

1083
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:01.800
<v Speaker 3>it's pretty.

1084
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Good every year.

1085
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean for years there was the CDOs and the

1086
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:06.920
<v Speaker 4>foothills and those you know, the Soe points and the

1087
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.800
<v Speaker 4>big schools like that that were generating the interest slowing wells,

1088
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:11.679
<v Speaker 4>I should say, you know, my kids went there and

1089
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, a bunch of their friends were coaching.

1091
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:19.039
<v Speaker 3>of it has to do the coaching. They're getting good coaching.

1092
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.039
