So thanks everybody for joining us. 33 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.079 You know, we'll talk a lot about some of the 34 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.040 games that are coming up this week, but first kind 35 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:45.480 of want to take a step back and you know, 36 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.640 look at some of the games that we that we 37 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.480 were following last week. Some some big games playoff wise, 38 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.280 some big games conference wise. Joe, I'm gonna start with 39 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.480 the game Lions Township playing York game that basically decided 40 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.480 a Westburn and Silver. And I remember a couple of 41 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.040 weeks ago, we were kind of sitting here and and 42 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.760 it was like, all right, there's three teams that are 43 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.800 really in contention in West sburb and Silver because they 44 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.280 were all undefeated going into like week six, and honestly, 45 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.759 and maybe it's a recent biased but I feel like 46 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.960 I kind of had Lions maybe third on that list, 47 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.960 and they totally proved me wrong. I mean, we make 48 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.080 picks for Friday Night Drive, and I feel like I 49 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.039 don't want to pick against Lions again because I think 50 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.759 they've earned my trust. But really impressive win over your 51 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.000 twenty four to seven going on the road. Their defense 52 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.800 forced three turnovers. Danny Carroll really good running back for theirs. 53 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.039 He ran for over I think one hundred and thirty 54 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.479 yards and three touchdowns, And unlike the Downers Grow North 55 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.680 game where they really had to come back and come 56 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.840 from behind and win a one pointer, they were in 57 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.039 control of that game pretty much that we're out, and 58 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.960 in doing so, they quenched their first outright Silver title 59 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.639 since nineteen eighty seven, and they actually we can go 60 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.800 for their first nine to zer regular season this Friday 61 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.639 since nineteen forty three, which I mean, they've had some 62 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.560 really good teams that Lions over the years. I know 63 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.960 Ben Bryant, who's the quarterback that's kind of floating around 64 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.479 NFL circles. He played for Northwestern, he played for them 65 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.360 a few years ago. They've had some really good players, 66 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.960 but man, that's a really nice feather in their cap 67 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.599 to be able to win that West Suburban And they're 68 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.280 now one of only I believe twenty seven undervited teams 69 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.120 left in the state. And you know, if a A 70 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.000 is a little bit more wide open then it has 71 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.759 been in recent years. Maybe maybe not, but they're gonna 72 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.719 be in the picture. They've really been impressive the last 73 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.360 few weeks. 74 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.400 Yeah, definitely. I mean he kind of mentioned it. We 75 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.319 you know, we kind of picked them to be like, 76 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.639 you know, the ones losing those two games against Dinerdscript 77 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.719 Nors and York, and but I mean they proved us wrong. 78 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.680 Like you mentioned, it seemed like the defense really stepped 79 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.639 up for them in both of those games. I mean, 80 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.080 obviously the Dinerscript North game stepped up in order to 81 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.879 make sure that they can have their comeback against the 82 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.120 Trojans last week, but this week it looked like they 83 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.439 were in full control of the entire way through. And so, 84 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.000 you know, really impressive showing from lions of these past 85 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.280 couple of weeks. And you know obviously last or on 86 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.079 Friday as well, and it should be interesting to see 87 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.439 if they can keep it or if they can keep 88 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.879 the street going, go to nine to zero for their 89 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.680 first undefeated regular season since nineteen forty three, and you know, 90 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.800 who knows, we can see how far they go because, 91 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.680 like you mentioned, eight A is a little bit more 92 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.000 wide open than it was, you know, in recent years, 93 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.360 especially with you know, teams like Loyal kind of falling 94 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.759 off of the trail mats. So it should be really 95 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.240 interesting interesting to see how this team, you know, goes 96 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:43.920 through the playoffs this year. 97 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.720 Yeah, I mean, it could turn out that Loyal and 98 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.439 Lincoln we used to playing each other in the final 99 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.120 again and then maybe eight days not as wide open 100 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.360 as we thought. But I do think that regardless, Lions 101 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.720 is going to be a team that's going to be, 102 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.319 you know, a factor in eight A playoffs, you know, 103 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.639 when we go into it and a week or so, 104 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.560 another team that I think is going to be a 105 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.079 factor in the eight A playoffs that's still undefeated, that 106 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.920 they won their conference title again. Last Friday game with that, 107 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:12.040 I was at Oswego playing Minooka, a game that in 108 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.800 recent years has been very competitive games, very compelling games 109 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.120 that have decided the conference. And I thought it was 110 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.439 going to be that way again. I mean it was 111 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.759 seven and zero against six and one, and I was 112 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.199 wrong again. Oswego just really dominated that game. Final score 113 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.839 was forty two to ten. Minookah's only touchdown came in 114 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.480 the last minute when Oswego's backups were in So for 115 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.360 all intents and purposes, you know, they only give up 116 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.959 a field goal. And again, as as all year long, 117 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.480 their their defense really dominated Minooka's first five possessions. They 118 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.560 only had one first down and it came on in 119 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.800 Oswego penalty. They'd only given up twelve yards the first 120 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.399 five possessions. By that time the game was already it 121 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.000 was already twenty eight to nothing for Uswego. Easton Ruby, 122 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.759 the third of a very talented line back in group, 123 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.360 had a couple of interceptions that set up touchdowns. Jeremiah Kine, 124 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.920 really talented wide receiver for them, caught it, caught a 125 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.240 touch a couple of touchdowns for them. Just a really 126 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.600 impressive win for Usuego to be able to win h 127 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.759 to win that game, to win the conference, first conference 128 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.439 title in a full they did win the COVID season, 129 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.519 you know, the shortened season, but the first conference title 130 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.759 in a shortened season or a full season rather since 131 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.720 twenty eighteen. And and again, I mean they have Oswego 132 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.800 East this week, so you know, no games there in 133 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.439 the rivalry game. But but they could be looking at 134 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.759 an undefeated regular season as well. And again, I mean 135 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.000 when you have a defense like that, I mean that 136 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.079 they always say like a defense, defense travels in the playoffs, 137 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.360 and I think that's the case with them. You know, 138 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.199 they're going to be a team to watch out for 139 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.959 in aight a to maybe make a run. I really 140 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.399 like that Aswego team a lot. 141 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.319 Man last speak, when we said that game was probably 142 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.439 gonna be a really close scoring game, yeah, I guess, 143 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.040 I guess we go hurd it and say no, it's not, 144 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.519 We're gonna score a lot. So you know, I think 145 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.639 that that was the game that really proved that, you know, 146 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.199 they can live up to the hype of you know, 147 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.000 not just a defense playing really well, but their offense 148 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.800 playing really really well as well. Because you know, we 149 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.439 kind of mentioned how they've been in a kind of 150 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.560 low scoring team over these past couple of weeks, but 151 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.120 still pulling off these wins, and you know, they really 152 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.319 showed that, you know, they can still blow out you know, 153 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.079 really good teams like Minuka, So, you know, really impressive 154 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.959 showing from them, and it once again should be really 155 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.120 interesting to see how it comes whenever it comes to 156 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:36.680 the playoffs next week. 157 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.560 Yeah, I will say and take nothing away from their offense, 158 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.000 because their offense didn't make some plays. I mean three 159 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.920 of their touchdowns came off to interceptions where they had 160 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.439 a short field to work with. Then Minoka had a 161 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.879 short field that set them up in midfields. So again, 162 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.240 their offense definitely performed, but it starts with their defense. 163 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.079 Their defense put them in position where they could score 164 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.959 points and then they're able to go out to execute 165 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.199 and make the players and score forty two points I 166 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.120 mean sort of, you know, forty two points. Forty two 167 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.439 points mean that was that was a very good game. 168 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.519 Probably Aso's most impressive game since that Joy at Catholic 169 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.839 win that they had in week two. So a really 170 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.040 good one. There a swee of winning that game. Congratulations 171 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.839 to them on winning a conference title, a game that 172 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.680 you were at last Friday, Batavia wheedon Warrenville South and 173 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.680 kind of the story in that game that I thought 174 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.639 and you wrote about it is is Batavia obviously getting 175 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.519 to win and Nathan Whitwell getting back on track running 176 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.039 to football. 177 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.919 Yeah, I mean it was kind of a game where 178 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.200 you know, he got back to the form that he 179 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.200 was in for the first six weeks of the season. 180 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.480 I mean, he ended up with one hundred and seventy 181 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.639 four rushing yards four touchdowns, which was the tacond most 182 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.360 he's had since it's five touchdown performance a couple of 183 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.679 weeks ago. But yeah, no, it was a really impressive 184 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.399 showing from you know, that offense, and it looks like, 185 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.240 you know, they finally got things going for sure on 186 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.679 that rushing offense for the first time since before that 187 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:06.799 game against Geneva. So it really was an impressive showing. 188 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.600 And I mean, besides that defense also looked really strong 189 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.080 as well. They only gave up two you know, big 190 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.720 pass plays that ended up leading two touchdowns for a 191 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.399 week Moreville South. But besides that, they shut everything else out. 192 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.879 I mean, I think they held week Warnville South to 193 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.720 under zero rushing yards, so negative rushing yards in that game. 194 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.600 So another great showing from them on the ground, especially 195 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.320 against a guy like Ohen York who had over two hundred, 196 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.279 over two hundred and seventy you know, total yards the 197 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.120 week before. So a really impressive showing from Batavia all around. 198 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.559 Yeah, good good win for them, and you know they 199 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.759 still have a chance and maybe getting a share that 200 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.960 their conference that I believe right is an other I 201 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.240 know Geneva is in the lead, but if it's Saint 202 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.120 Charles north Fuild the monkey wrench in that, then you 203 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:54.679 know then. 204 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:56.919 Way tie right. 205 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.720 So so yeah, well well we'll see what happens with that, 206 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:04.000 but a good win for Batavia. Another good win from 207 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.080 a team that you know, week seven they really had 208 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.879 the eye opening win and then they backed it up 209 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.120 to quench that that playoff berth that Brillington Central and 210 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.879 talking about. They went out, they took care of business. 211 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.879 They handled Hampshire pretty handily. I mean Jackson Olcorn didn't 212 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.200 throw for four hundred sem yards, but he still made 213 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.440 some plays. L J. Crer, who's a really good receiver 214 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.440 for them, he made some plays. And really fasten to 215 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.399 see Burington Central and what they can do once they 216 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.639 get the playoffs started, because they've been really competitive in 217 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.200 a good Fox Valley Conference. 218 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.279 Yeah, definitely, I think earlier, and I think they're gonna 219 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.240 be the team that you know, it's gonna be the 220 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.879 feel good story throughout the entire playoffs. He's obviously this 221 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.120 is gonna be the first time being in the playoffs 222 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.000 since twenty fourteen, and you know they're going to be 223 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.679 looking for their first playoff wins. It's two thousand and six, 224 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.679 so it's it's been a long time since, you know, 225 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.559 Burlington Central has seen the success that they've had, and 226 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.080 you know, from the way that the team has been 227 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.799 playing over the past couple of weeks, especially against you know, 228 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.759 Perry Ridge, who's been you know, like hot team in 229 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.279 the scher a little bit, you know, it's going to 230 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.039 be really interesting to see how they play throughout the 231 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.519 playoffs and how far they could potentially go as well. 232 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.440 Uh So I'm really excited to see what they can do. 233 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.559 I'm really excited to see what Jackson, Al Kurt can do, 234 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.559 l J. Kerr and all of those players there, and 235 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.960 you know, there may be a chance that they can 236 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.320 break that street this year. 237 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.120 No doubt. I mean, Burnwich Aid Central is a school 238 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.879 too that I mean, their their basketball programs had a 239 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.559 lot of success over the last decade. Their baseball program 240 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.720 has been really good. They had a really good spring, 241 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.240 so and and again the football program has been it's 242 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.200 been competitive in a Foxfight Conference since it joined it 243 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.559 a few years ago. It's just it's it's just been 244 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.759 being able to get to that you know, five or 245 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.799 potentially six wins that they haven't quite got there, but 246 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.799 they've been knocking on the door and they've been competitive 247 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.480 in that league. And and now they're in and you know, 248 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.679 they got they got a great quarterback. So again, I'll 249 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.320 be really fascinating to watch to see, you know, how 250 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.679 far they can go with this. I mean, it's really exciting. 251 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.159 I'm also kend of curious see Jackson Elcorn. I know, 252 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.720 their coach last week said he's the best quarterback in state. 253 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.440 Then we started kind of curious see about like what 254 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.600 colleges are kind of knocking on this door. Because man, 255 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.240 when you put up like four hundred and some yards 256 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.039 against Prairie Ridge, you got to be doing something right. 257 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.840 So I'm really really curious on that one as well. 258 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.159 So so good things going up there in Burnlington Central. Joe, 259 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.879 you mentioned a minute ago about Burlington Central being a 260 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.559 feel good story this year and and you know Sandwich 261 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.720 was that last year being able to get to the playoffs, 262 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.159 get to the Corner Finals after two years ago they 263 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.200 didn't even have football because of numbers. They've been able 264 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.480 to follow it up with another really good year and 265 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.879 they were able to to to basically put them in 266 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.279 position wise playoffs. They got their fifth win last week, 267 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.240 so they're in really good shape playoffs wise, and and 268 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.679 really a really fun game. They went up to Woodstock 269 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.120 North who was six and one coming in back and 270 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.960 forth game. They were down early, they were able to rally, 271 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.960 they tied the game. And then the interesting thing to 272 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.240 me and I talked about it with their coach and 273 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.600 their quarterback for my football notebook for Kendall County is 274 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.000 they're really a team that they run that wing t 275 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.720 offense that it's you know, they'll go twelve plays, fifteen plays, 276 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.240 they'll run it seven minutes, eight minutes off the clock. 277 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.519 They got the ball in that game with about a 278 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.840 minute fifteen left and they went in two minute drill 279 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.639 and they were able to score in about thirty seconds. 280 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.600 They had two big passes by their quarterback Brady Behringer, 281 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.039 and then Brady Barnsher He had the big pancake block 282 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.120 for Nick Michael Wick to score the game when he 283 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.559 touched on. And I was just very fascinated that a 284 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.799 team like that that really they want to take time 285 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.879 off possession, that time off the clock, that they were 286 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.279 able to score that quickly. And it's funny they I 287 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.679 talked to him about it and they said they practice 288 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.639 that every week on Thursday nights. Is they actually they're 289 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.200 not on their practice field. They actually go into their 290 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.679 football stadium and football field and they work on that 291 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.240 two minute drill where the coaches on the field saying, 292 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.600 you know, stop the clock, stop the clock. You know, 293 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.480 they got the clock going and stuff like that. So 294 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.600 it's interesting for a team that typically for most of 295 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.279 the game they don't do that kind of thing, that 296 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.600 they did it so well in that situation. So a 297 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.799 really good win for Sandwich. 298 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.600 Yeah, really able to see, you know, a team that 299 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:20.240 heavily on you know, rushing the ball and keeping the 300 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.639 clock moving to be able to get something like that, 301 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.399 you know, down to almost the science, and you know, 302 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.039 it looks like what they've been doing there has been 303 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.919 really working for them, and especially over these past couple 304 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.960 of weeks. I mean, obviously they've been five and one 305 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.679 starting off this season zero and two, so you know, 306 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.720 everything's kind of seemed to be working for Sandwich over 307 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.080 these past couple of weeks, and they are looking like 308 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.559 the same team that you know, pretty much everybody fell 309 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.039 in love with last year. So it'll be really interesting 310 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.360 to see if they can repeat that same performance whenever 311 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.480 it comes to in the playoffs. 312 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.759 Yeah, really good. I mean again, they're a team that 313 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.360 I mean typically they throw the ball maybe once or 314 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.519 twice per game by accident, and then you know, when 315 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.320 they really needed it, they're able to make the place 316 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.840 throwing the ball. So good thing for them. A team 317 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.639 that doesn't throw the ball by accident, a team that 318 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.440 throws the ball a lot and throws it quite well. 319 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.720 Is Geneva High School and their quarterback Tony Chahino. He 320 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.600 had a game in week eight I think you what, 321 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.879 through six touchdown passes against Saint Girl's East. That kid 322 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.159 has really really been a story for Geneva this year. 323 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.960 You know, kind of a question mark going the year 324 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:27.919 about who their quarterback was going to be. They had 325 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.519 a lot of talent receiver with talent Taylor. He has 326 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.720 answered everything this year. Hey football fans, listen up.

He was on 344 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.799 var Sea since his sophomore year, but he played in 345 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.840 pretty much every other position besides quarterback. I mean, he 346 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.080 was a fullback and a linebacker last year. You know, 347 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.559 he was playing everything. But that he has come into 348 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.759 that role as a quarterback and he is just excelled 349 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.639 in multiple ways in multiple games. For them. I mean, 350 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.000 you know, he only he has thirty one passing touchdowns 351 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.840 this year, he only has one interception, which I mean 352 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.759 is it's a great margin to have to have that. 353 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.679 And I mean, you know, having talented receivers like talent 354 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.240 Taylor and Finick and Weber and Bennett Conki who's coming up. 355 00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:59.960 You know, that's really helped as well. But I mean, 356 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.759 you know that last game against Saint Charles East, the 357 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.440 fact that that was his best and it wasn't by 358 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.599 a lot, especially after the season he's had, I mean, 359 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.680 it just speaks so much about what type of player 360 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.319 that Tony Chichino is. 361 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.440 Yeah, really good, really good to hear for him, and 362 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.359 really good here for Geneva obviously, which leads us into 363 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.480 too looking ahead to Week nine game that you're gonna 364 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.279 be out on Friday, Geneva's Saint Charles North. All right, 365 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.799 So last week I said, aswegen Minoka was going to 366 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.599 be a low scoring game, and I was completely wrong. 367 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.559 I'm going on the record, Geneva st. Charles North, there's 368 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.200 gonna be points scored. What do you think? 369 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.240 Yeah, I think I think that is definitely gonna be 370 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.119 the case. And I mean, you know, obviously we've talked about, 371 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.119 you know, St. Charles North and Batavia and then we 372 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.640 talked about Batavian Geneva. We talked about about those games, 373 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.759 about how different the games are gonna be on each 374 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.359 side this time. I think the game plan on offense 375 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.920 is going to be very similar because their offense is 376 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.960 run in a very similar way. They both have a 377 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.880 really talented quarterback. They have a talented running back, but 378 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.839 wasn't the main center of their entire offense. BU can 379 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.319 hurt you in multiple ways if you, you know, kind 380 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.920 of shrug them off. Joel Holloman's proved that multiple times, 381 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.920 Fuel Romorro's proven that multiple times. Then also on top 382 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.519 of that, you know, they each have a wide receiver. 383 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.599 Who is the main center of you know, the offense. 384 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:20.640 You've got Talent Taylor obviously on Jadieva, and then you've 385 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:24.279 got pet and Rinkey on Saint Charles North. Who is 386 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.720 slowly but Shirley or who is I shouldn't say slowly 387 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.640 but Shirley, you know, kind of under the radar. He's 388 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.519 been putting up very similar numbers to Talent Taylor this year. 389 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.200 I think he has nine hundred receiving yards so far 390 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.720 this season, which is right around the same mark as Taylor. 391 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:43.079 And he has I believe fourteen total touchdowns on the 392 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.480 season as well, which you know is right there with 393 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.680 talent Taylor. So both of them have really talented offenses 394 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.519 heading into this game, and I'm really excited to see, 395 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:59.400 you know, which offense can their game plan better. And 396 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.119 you know, like you mentioned, I think points are going 397 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.599 to be scoring this game, and I think this is 398 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.039 gonna be a really high scoring game and it's gonna 399 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.000 be really interesting to see, you know, who comes out 400 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:13.279 on top and ultimately who decides the Ducaine Conference. So 401 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.640
