00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to another go around of Soccer's in session Playoff

2
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Daily Live, presented by our friends at Kaiser Permanente. John,

3
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>hear you there, and as always, once again, thanks for

4
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with us here for this hour as we

5
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>run as fast as humanly possible through all your brackets

6
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and get you ready for now the semifinals. Now that

7
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the quarterfinals are done, we're going to catch up with

8
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>some coaches coming up here on the show. Meghan Hill,

9
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the head coach at Buford, Aaron Paul out at Morgan County.

10
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.439
<v Speaker 1>But first batting lead off it is Heather Richardson, the

11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>head coach at Social Circle. It's always great to catch

12
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>up with her. She's got another big matchup coming up. Coach,

13
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 1>welcome back, Hi, thanks for having me all right, So,

14
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>last time we talked, it was leading into round number

15
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>one as Team four ranked number five took care of

16
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Harrelson County four nil. Then it was knocking off Dodge

17
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Team thirteen seven to one. You did that at home

18
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and then Dade came to Social Circle. You got the

19
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>win two nil. What have you learned about yourself in

20
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>these three rounds?

21
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like with the team and myself we've gotten

22
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 2>a little better each time, even though the scores look

23
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>kind of weird. I think our game, our most recent

24
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>game against Ade, we played the best that we have

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>in a while. We moved the ball around well, we

26
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>passed the ball around. The score didn't look like it,

27
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>but we really played well.

28
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 3>So I'm good. I feel good about that game going

29
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 3>into the next game.

30
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>And that next game is against Breaman and Breamen Team

31
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>one ranked number one. You look at the left hand

32
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>side of the bracketing Class A D one girls. This

33
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>is two heavyweights. How much studying do you get in?

34
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Does everybody kind of know going in? Does Bremen sit there,

35
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Does Jason sit there and go yeah, I know? Social circle?

36
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Do you sit there and go yeah, I know, Breemen?

37
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>What's the mindset?

38
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 3>I do think we definitely know each other.

40
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>We played each other earlier in the season and we

41
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>ended up losing that game four to one, but we

42
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>were tied one to one at halftime.

43
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 3>So I've done a lot of studying.

44
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>The girls have done a lot of studying, and we

45
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>have some things we're gonna put in place, do a

46
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of different things to hopefully come out on top.

47
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, what did you learn about

48
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself coming into that matchup? In a matchup like that

49
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that is non region, that's an early season test. How

50
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>much of that is experimenting or just kind of seeing

51
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>where you are against top flight competition. Obviously you want

52
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to try and win it, but how much of that

53
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>is trying to figure out where you are at that

54
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>point of the season.

55
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>For us, it was definitely where are we at this

56
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>point in the season. And because of that game, I've

57
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>done a lot of I've done a few changes and

58
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>they've been positive changes. So even though we lost that game,

59
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>it was probably one of the most beneficial games we

60
00:02:58.360 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>played all year.

61
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>In five nine and one in region play, you've only

62
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>given up twenty five goals now all season long, and

63
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty one matches, and so twenty five and twenty one,

64
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>that's one you're having me do math. So four over

65
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty one is like at one point two, you know,

66
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned that matchup and it's you look at that

67
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>game there. That was kind of tucked in with the

68
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>matchup with Jackson County and Walnut Grove before you end

69
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>up going with the playoffs, So you were pretty much

70
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you were done with your region play at that point,

71
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 1>so you had UAA, Breaman, Jackson County, and Walnut Grove

72
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to wrap up the season. So it seems like you

73
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 1>did want to learn a lot about yourself after the

74
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Lamar County loss in region play and then winning UAA.

75
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>It's literally going up against Breeman, Jackson County, and Walnut Grove.

76
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 1>It looks like you did want to try to figure

77
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>out some things heading into the postseason.

78
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and even though you know, those last three games

79
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>weren't didn't come out for us, they were a positive

80
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of different ways.

81
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>We learned a lot about ourselves.

82
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 2>We had to we had to buckle down and play

83
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>really hard, and it really just I think those games

84
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>prepared us for a game like we're going to have tomorrow.

85
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>How do you in a situation like that where region's done,

86
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you know pretty much what's going on. How do you

87
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>break that you know news to the players, It's like, Okay,

88
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a yes butt situation almost where yes, you do

89
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 1>want to win, but you're challenging yourselves. Don't get necessarily

90
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>wrapped up in the result, because in the grand scheme

91
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>of things, it doesn't matter. Just get wrapped up in

92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>what you're trying to learn. How do you pass that

93
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>message along to your players.

94
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a hard message to pass along, I tell you,

95
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>especially with the girls I have, because they're just so

96
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>passionate about winning. But they also there's a lot of

97
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>them with a lot of experience, and they understand the

98
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>ebb and flow of a season, and they understand the

99
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>process that it is.

100
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 3>That it's really a process. And you know, it's great

101
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>for your record to look like.

102
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>You're winning every game, but if you're not winning any

103
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 2>if you're not learning anything from from that schedule that

104
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>you have, then it's not helpful.

105
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 3>At all when you get deep in the playoffs.

106
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>So I think I have some older girls who definitely

107
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.600
<v Speaker 2>understand that, and they help the younger girls understand that.

108
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>But it takes a lot of talking from me to

109
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>help everybody understand it.

110
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And is it different coaching now when you're trying

111
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to have messages like that than it was, say maybe

112
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>even five years ago. One graduating class through is coaching

113
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and messaging different, trying to get them to understand certain

114
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>aspects that it's not wrapped up in all of the

115
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>wins and losses. Yeah, they're great, but we got to

116
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 1>focus on other things. Is messaging and coaching different even

117
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>say five years ago?

118
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

119
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And I think I've even learned from five years

120
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>ago that it's not all about your wins and losses

121
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>all the time. That you really learn a lot from

122
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 2>the teams that you play, and the schedule that you

123
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>put in place is really important and it you know,

124
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it's it helps prepare you for the end of the season.

125
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>And it's a difficult message to get across, but it's

126
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>one that's important, I think, and one that I've learned from,

127
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty seventeen. I think we went to the

128
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Final four in twenty seventeen, but we were our record

129
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>was not great. I think we lost the first six

130
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>games of the season, and that was a learning lesson

131
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 2>for me even so.

132
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so you lose your first six that way through,

133
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>and that was you know, you mentioned it's a learning

134
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 1>lesson for you. Is are we talking scheduling, approach, philosophy, practice?

135
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 5>What did you learn from then to now?

136
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 2>I learned that just because you're losing doesn't mean that

137
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>when you get in the postseason it's going to be

138
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>it can't be a positive result because we were playing

139
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 2>bigger schools. The first six games of that season, they

140
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>were bigger schools and they were just preparing us for later.

141
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>And I even didn't quite understand that because that was

142
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 2>my first I think that was my first season i'd

143
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>coached at Social Circle, so I hadn't made the schedule,

144
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and when I looked at it and we were losing,

145
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>and we were losing, I was like, oh.

146
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 3>My goodness.

147
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>But then but then once we got through region, I

148
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>got in the postseason, I was like, oh, well, I

149
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>think that actually helped us out a little bit.

150
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 3>So it was learning from me as well.

151
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Eleven different goals scored for you this year. But I

152
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>know everybody gravitates toward Alana Ferguson, who last time I checked,

153
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I think just had under sixties fifty seven goals this year.

154
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 5>For her, what has it been like to see her

155
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 5>this season?

156
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously I'll have the follow up about her

157
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>career itself, but what's it been like to see her

158
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 1>in her senior year.

159
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.600
<v Speaker 3>It's been great. She's played great.

160
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>She does a good job for us at the striker position,

161
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and I don't even think on her club team that's

162
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>really the position that she normally plays. So she's she's

163
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>taken she's taken that role for us, and she's doing

164
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 2>a great job. And even in the last game, you know,

165
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>we won two to zero, but she didn't score in

166
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>that game, but she had I think two of the

167
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>assists that the assist for those goals. So she's she's

168
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>just a great player for us, whether she needs to score,

169
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 2>whether she needs to pull back and help us out

170
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.959
<v Speaker 2>and pass the ball around. But she's been fun to

171
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>watch this year.

172
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember your first impression of her when you

173
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 1>got her out on the.

174
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 4>Practice field when she was in ninth grade.

175
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, when she was in ninth grade.

176
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, just my first impression was is this girl is

177
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>very fast. She is definitely going to do some good

178
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 2>things for us. I just didn't know how quite good.

179
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>She's always been just very quiet and she does the

180
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>job that you know, she's been asked to do. And

181
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>this year, coming into her senior year after graduating, Peyton

182
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and some other seniors like it was her turn and

183
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 2>she needed to step up and be that person for us,

184
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and she's.

185
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Done a good job with that.

186
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>When I mentioned this senior class specifically, what sticks out

187
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 1>in your mind.

188
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Just how far that they have come and the accomplishments

189
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>that they've had. They've and I told them this, you know,

190
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>at the at the end of our last game, they

191
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.879
<v Speaker 2>have four region championships, They've made it to the final

192
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>four four times, the state championship game twice. So they

193
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>just have accolades that doesn't happen all the time, that

194
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>they don't need to take for granted that it's you know,

195
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 2>it's really a big deal and I'm very, very proud

196
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 2>of what they've accomplished.

197
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Have you thought about their legacy, even though I know

198
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 1>this season isn't over. Regular season is, but if you

199
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>thought about the legacy that they're leaving behind.

200
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just a legacy to just for the younger girls

201
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>to hope want what they've accomplished so that we can

202
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>continue that, just continue what they started and just keep

203
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 2>pushing forward every season. Just the winning tradition. And they

204
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>just they're so passionate about the team and everything. It

205
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 2>means so much to them. And I just I talked

206
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 2>to them at lunch just a few minutes ago and

207
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>they were like, Coach, we're so excited, We're ready to go.

208
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, just chill out because it's not till tomorrow.

209
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>But I'm glad you're excited, so.

210
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 5>You have to travel.

211
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to other things that you have to navigate,

212
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot easier navigating, you know, a home.

213
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Match and everything.

214
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like, okay, everybody needs to be here at this

215
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 1>time to do this and do this and do this right.

216
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to traveling, and I'm and i'm you

217
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm doing while I'm talking to you is

218
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm setting the path. I'm trying to figure out, Okay,

219
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 1>how long is it to go from social circle to Breemen?

220
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 1>And I'm trying to do this on lovely Google Maps,

221
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and so the Google Maps machine is telling me that

222
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.039
<v Speaker 1>it's ninety three and a half miles if you left

223
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>right now to go out eye twenty to go to Bremen,

224
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>so hour and a half or an or two hours

225
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>with traffic depending on time of day. Have you figured

226
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>out your travel plans navigating academics with departures and things

227
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 1>like that. What is the day looking like so the

228
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>student athlete can get done what they can and at

229
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the same time hop on the bus and get out

230
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 1>to Bremen in one piece?

231
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 5>How are you plotting how all of this is going

232
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 5>to fit together.

233
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's a lot that goes into it, actually, but

234
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 2>my ADMIN is great and they think of things like

235
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 2>they've come to me and said, well, this kid and

236
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 2>this kid has an ap test on Thursday at twelve o'clock,

237
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 2>so they're going to need to take it on the

238
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>makeup day on May the nineteenth. And then we have

239
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>some kids taking APUs history on Friday morning at eight.

240
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Are they going to get home too late? Do they

241
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 2>need to take the makeup test on May the twentieth?

242
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 2>It's an hour and forty five minutes to get there.

243
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Do I want to get there you know at four o'clock?

244
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to get there at four thirty? Do

245
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I need to get there at three? And I think

246
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 2>one when the seniors were in tenth grade, I think

247
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 2>the final four game when we played PI DAYA in

248
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the Final four, we got there so early just because

249
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>we were worried about the Atlanta traffic and I was like,

250
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 2>this is too long to be sitting here. So hopefully

251
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow I got at time to just right and all

252
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 2>the roadwork in the traffic in Atlanta will cooperate and

253
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 2>we'll get there in just the right amount of time

254
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>where we're not you know, we're not running late, but

255
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>we're not there too early. So yeah, it's a lot

256
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 2>and we got food coming, got to feed them before

257
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>we go, but can't be too heavy, so you know,

258
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's a lot of stuff. But it's fun.

259
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad we're here. I'd do it over again all

260
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the time.

261
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>That's why I like to ask these questions about all

262
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of the stuff that folks may not know about when

263
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 1>it comes to orchestrating all these things, so everyone can

264
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.159
<v Speaker 1>understand all of the effort that goes in on the field,

265
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>off the field, in the the academic element of it.

266
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 5>When it comes to the administration, they're.

267
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Right in the middle of testing right now with eoc's

268
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 2>and aps and all sorts of testing.

269
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Yep, iikes, Yeah, I'm not gonna comment about my AP

270
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>European Exam. I'm not gonna comment that at all. All right,

00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>all the time. By that that's on the the that's

344
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>in Triple A. Sorry, I'm a class ahead of myself.

<v Speaker 5>It's going to be on the Mothership. This we do know.

393
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.519
<v Speaker 1>It is going to be a Coney County at Whitewater.

394
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.720

395
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.599
<v Speaker 1>of times already this year. We had a Cony County's

396
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 1>opening round a playoff matchup against Johnson Gainesville on the air,

397
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and that was number five hosting number ten. That was

398
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>the one that had the hour and twenty minute weather

399
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 1>delay before we got that one started. A Coney County

400
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>goes to Sandy Creek gets the big win. They're going

401

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>County ranked number five. They've made their way all the

406
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 1>way through and they get to take on Whitewater who

407
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 1>is ranked number two, number three, And that is where

<v Speaker 1>we are in Triple A girls. Now it is time

409
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to advance in our brackets. As we sit here and

410
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>we flip the page to six A. And why do

411
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.599
<v Speaker 1>I say this Because I have my six A bracket

412
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 1>in my hand, and that way when I look at

413
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.599
<v Speaker 1>the six A bracket, I sit here and look low right,

414
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and that means I get to catch up with a

415
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>coach that has made it out of the low right

416
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 1>section of the bracket. Time to catch up with Meghan Hill,

<v Speaker 7>Of seniors, and coming into this year, you know, to

453
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.400
<v Speaker 7>be completely honest, I was a little nervous. We graduated

454
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 7>our senior goalkeeper, and we graduated a lot of leadership,

455
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 7>and so trying to develop leadership within this team has

456
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 7>been kind of the foundation of this year.

457
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 1>So when you get to full song, when do you

458
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 1>think that was? When do you think that with all

459
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.599
<v Speaker 1>of the absences, bringing in those individuals that you had

460
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.759
<v Speaker 1>in those places that you were confident of in your

461
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>starting eleven's most of the time, how long do you

462
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>think it took for you to get to full song? Okay,

463
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.119
<v Speaker 1>we've got something here. I know what we have. When

464
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 1>did that level of comfort in quotation marks happen?

465
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 6>Do you think I think.

466
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 7>That last week of regular season play it took a

467
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 7>long time, because, Uh, to be honest with you, we

468
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 7>have not had our full roster. Uh since that last

469
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:18.160
<v Speaker 7>playoff excuse me, since that last regular season game. We

470
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 7>had injuries. We've had players leave for ECNL events. We've

471
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:28.920
<v Speaker 7>had you know, El Salvadori, a national team.

472
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.200
<v Speaker 6>Ava left she was out for six games.

473
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.519
<v Speaker 7>So, h we have not we had not had a

474
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.440
<v Speaker 7>complete full roster with with being healthy and all of

475
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 7>our injuries back and everything since that last regular season week.

476
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 7>So you know that that's kind of when I started

477
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 7>to realize, like, okay, guys, you know we've got we

478
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 7>might have something here.

479
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 1>When you have freshmen and sophomores step in the way

480
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that they have, what's it like to see those underclassmen

481
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:00.319
<v Speaker 1>step up for you and be assertive and be a

482
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.039
<v Speaker 1>part of those starting elevens as you go.

483
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:03.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's really nice to see.

484
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 7>And honestly, we have one freshman on varsity right now

485
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.279
<v Speaker 7>and then a handful of sophomores, and you know those

486
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.400
<v Speaker 7>hand the two sophomores now that we're on varsity last

487
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.960
<v Speaker 7>year are making a huge impact for us. But within

488
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 7>our program, we try to develop on it. You know,

489
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:25.720
<v Speaker 7>obviously on our JV.

490
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 6>One of my.

491
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 7>Assistants, Coach Foyd, developed those girls. Uh so they know, like, okay,

492
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.119
<v Speaker 7>if if if it's okay to make JV your freshman year,

493
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.240
<v Speaker 7>if you can step into that varsity role your sophomore year,

494
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 7>that's kind of what they're trying to She's trying to

495
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:43.160
<v Speaker 7>prepare them.

496
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 1>For when you you know you have the support that

497
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you get there at Buford, And I mean that from administration,

498
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>from athletics across the board. What's it like to walk

499
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 1>into a Buford High School every day and try and

500
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 1>and you know, because the expectation is always there, regardless

501
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:03.400
<v Speaker 1>of what the sport is.

502
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.519
<v Speaker 5>Yes, what's it What's it.

503
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Like to to have the support and the expectations that

504
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 1>are there.

505
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 5>What's it like to have that yin and yang there?

506
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:12.640
<v Speaker 4>You know.

507
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 7>It's funny because administrative wise, we are more they're more

508
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.759
<v Speaker 7>so focused on can you develop a good a good person?

509
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 7>So they're all about like what is your character development?

510
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.759
<v Speaker 7>Like what are you doing off the field. But honestly,

511
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.079
<v Speaker 7>and as you said, it's like everybody on the outside

512
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:36.480
<v Speaker 7>of our bubble is the.

513
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 6>Expectation is to win.

514
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 7>And honestly, I think that when you if you were

515
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.759
<v Speaker 7>to walk into Beuford High School, I think the expectation

516
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.599
<v Speaker 7>starts in the academics and with our dress code and

517
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 7>with our no cell phones, and there's a strict expectation

518
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.759
<v Speaker 7>there and that then develops and trickles out onto our

519
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.240
<v Speaker 7>fields or our courts or whatever it is. This is

520
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:05.119
<v Speaker 7>the expectation, This is a standard. It's already set. And

521
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 7>then you know, we obviously follow in LIU with those

522
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 7>academic teachers, and you know, if they're not performing academically,

523
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 7>they don't play on the field.

524
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 6>So expectations are there.

525
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.680
<v Speaker 7>I think us coaches put a lot of pressure on

526
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.720
<v Speaker 7>ourselves too, especially coming in if you know, this is

527
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 7>my fifth year here, and the pressure is way different,

528
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:31.799
<v Speaker 7>not from you know, uh administrative standpoint, but for me

529
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 7>and for the girls, and I think for us it's

530
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.039
<v Speaker 7>just like it's it's all those tiny things that that

531
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 7>help with that. And it starts when you literally when

532
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.599
<v Speaker 7>you walk into the building in the academic.

533
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Building, youfor survives a matchup with Brookwood, and so what

534
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>do you get?

535
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:52.960
<v Speaker 5>You get West first site. We'll talk.

536
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.039
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about the murderers row on the right hand

537
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 1>side of the bridge. Yeah, exactly, the murders row in

538
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the right hand side.

539
00:25:58.359 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 5>Coming up in a bit.

540
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.960
<v Speaker 1>For those that may not know your history, you do

541
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.160
<v Speaker 1>have a history of being a head coach in Gwennett County,

542
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 1>but you were also a GA if I remember correctly,

543
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.039
<v Speaker 1>for Jay Entlick down at Columbus State. What did you

544
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:17.480
<v Speaker 1>learn from j J has been a great friend of

545
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 1>ours here at the SDH network when it comes to

546
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.319
<v Speaker 1>what he's been building at Columbus State. Yes, what did

547
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.799
<v Speaker 1>you learn from your time down with j? Because I

548
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>mean Jay class at top to bottom with a great

549
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 1>program top to bottom.

550
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 5>What did you learn with your time down there?

551
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 7>So Jay at Lick I was a GA and then

552
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.519
<v Speaker 7>he ended up hiring me as his assistant for about

553
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 7>a year and a half until I got into Gwenette

554
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 7>and Jay Atlick is one of my mentors. If I

555
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:46.359
<v Speaker 7>have an issue, if I have a problem, if I

556
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 7>have a question, or I'm questioning myself, He's the first

557
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 7>person that I call, and he he has been such

558
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 7>a mentor to me because of the way that he coaches.

559
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.559
<v Speaker 7>He's very direct, he's very straightforward. Uh, he does not

560
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 7>beat around the bush. And then he also is able

561
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 7>to have relationships with those players who respect him. But

562
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.519
<v Speaker 7>I think demanding excellence and understanding the game for me

563
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.599
<v Speaker 7>came a lot from him in that college world. So

564
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm very, very grateful for Jay. And it's funny that

565
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:30.839
<v Speaker 7>you guys even mentioned his name because I was actually

566
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:32.319
<v Speaker 7>about to call him tomorrow.

567
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Jay's great with us. When we cover Columbus

568
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:42.279
<v Speaker 1>State and Division two what's the first lesson that you

569
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 1>learned from him that has stuck?

570
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 6>Ooh, that's a great question. I think.

571
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:58.480
<v Speaker 7>I think honestly developing a quality practice plan and organizing

572
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:02.799
<v Speaker 7>a practice to prepare for the team that you're about

573
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 7>to play, but also focusing on solely yourself without focusing

574
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:13.319
<v Speaker 7>too much on the other team.

575
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 6>If that makes sense.

576
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it does, I mean, And that kind of was

577
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>my leading into my next question. So obviously you're reading

578
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:18.880
<v Speaker 1>my notes.

579
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I see them there on your desk.

580
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're all over the place.

581
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So because of a quick turn, because of the bracket

582
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:31.240
<v Speaker 1>being the bracket of doom on the right hand side

583
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.000
<v Speaker 1>in six A, it is insane to see, but that's

584
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.279
<v Speaker 1>because of how things are with rotations and regions this

585
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.160
<v Speaker 1>time around that you have West for Scythe, Duford and.

586
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.000
<v Speaker 5>Brookwood all on.

587
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 1>One side of the bracket. Knowing what you know about

588
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>West for Scythe, do you focus more on yourself because

589
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.559
<v Speaker 1>of the quick turn or do you do some mix

590
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 1>or assistants looking you know, leading into the Brookwood game,

591
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>or looking at who you could be playing as somebody

592
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 1>watching North tape, somebody watching West for scythe tape or are

593
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.759
<v Speaker 1>you focusing on yourself.

594
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.839
<v Speaker 7>Funny you say that I have a I have a

595
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:14.599
<v Speaker 7>lot of quality assistance, and they are folks that they

596
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 7>will watch some of West Forscyth. But my job is

597
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 7>to is to prepare my team and not focus on

598
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:29.880
<v Speaker 7>West Forscyth. And so we rewatched Brookwood and figured figured

599
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.519
<v Speaker 7>out some things that we maybe didn't do very well

600
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.160
<v Speaker 7>that we could have definitely taken more advantage of. And

601
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:39.000
<v Speaker 7>I think that that's what we have going into West

602
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:43.480
<v Speaker 7>Forscyth is focusing on us, focusing on our game plan,

603
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.759
<v Speaker 7>getting my girls mindset right and making sure that you

604
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 7>know they're not going to forget how to play soccer

605
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 7>in a day. So and that's also what Jay and

606
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.160
<v Speaker 7>Lick taught me, uh that you also have to focus

607
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.559
<v Speaker 7>on the mental aspect of things too, and with girls,

608
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:05.400
<v Speaker 7>that's extremely significant, especially with that two day turnaround. So

609
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:09.480
<v Speaker 7>we were doing a lot of a lot of mental

610
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:12.920
<v Speaker 7>mindset stuff yesterday and then today we'll be back out

611
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 7>on a field and getting ready prepared for that.

612
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>It should be a packed house of around twelve hundred. Again,

613
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a great environment that has been created there at

614
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Buford for the sports that are the spring sports, the

615
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 1>ones that aren't the marquee sports they are, but the

616
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>ones that are garnering attention. So when someone tries to

617
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>find their way into the venue, perhaps they get a

618
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>ticket and they're trying to find a place to sit.

619
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>When West Verscyth comes to town, who should they gravitate toward?

620
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And who will they gravitate toward in that starting eleven?

621
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 1>If things are going well for you against West Verscyth,

622
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.480
<v Speaker 1>who will the audience be gravitating toward in your starting eleven?

623
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 6>Oh gosh, So that is a tough one to answer

624
00:30:58.319 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 6>because so many of my.

625
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 5>Roles are all eleven of them just go ahead.

626
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.400
<v Speaker 7>And liked by all of our faculty and staff. I

627
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.359
<v Speaker 7>think every single person. Yesterday, all my players have said,

628
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 7>like Coach Hill, everybody's asking me and talking to me

629
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:16.240
<v Speaker 7>about the games like and.

630
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.200
<v Speaker 6>I said, yeah, because they care about you.

631
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 7>And and it's funny because, like I don't know, you

632
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:23.720
<v Speaker 7>always get your goal scorers, and you know, there's not

633
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 7>a lot of credit given to the back line and

634
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:29.359
<v Speaker 7>kind of what they solidify and hold down for us.

635
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 7>But I mean, obviously you got to score goals to win.

636
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 7>So whoever scores the goals first I think, you know,

637
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:40.599
<v Speaker 7>they'll obviously have that crowd rally around them, but honestly,

638
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, I can't. The defense is solid for us too,

639
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.640
<v Speaker 7>so I just it's kind of even even keel.

640
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 1>And well, so let's talk about that defense. You've only

641
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>given up and it's brought to us by the number nine.

642
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 1>By the way, goals scored ninety nine. So the next

643
00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 1>one that gets scored is goal one hundred. For you

644
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:03.599
<v Speaker 1>on the season, you've only given up nine in twenty matches.

645
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:07.799
<v Speaker 1>So to have a keeper, you know, a keeper step

646
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.599
<v Speaker 1>in to have the back line be what they are

647
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.279
<v Speaker 1>and it is, it is difficult to get around and

648
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.279
<v Speaker 1>through that back line of yours with the back four

649
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 1>when it's locked in place the way that it was

650
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.640
<v Speaker 1>specifically against Brookwood. Brookwood was having problems. There were a

651
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of opportunities that they had in transitions where there

652
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:27.519
<v Speaker 1>were turnovers in the middle third. But your back four

653
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 1>and your keeper have been incredibly solid this year. What's

654
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it been like to see them shine?

655
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:36.960
<v Speaker 7>It's nice, you know, I have an assistant that works,

656
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:42.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, focuses specifically on the defense, and then and

657
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:46.279
<v Speaker 7>then we have coaches that specifically work with our attacking third,

658
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.119
<v Speaker 7>and so she's been working with them getting their mindset

659
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 7>right and understanding like being able to protect. When one

660
00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 7>steps out of position, the other one covers. So we

661
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 7>call our back line like the onion. There's there's a

662
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:04.759
<v Speaker 7>lot of layers within our back line, even though there's

663
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:08.839
<v Speaker 7>only four of them. And so you know, even my

664
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:12.519
<v Speaker 7>middle third, my my center mids know. You know, if

665
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.720
<v Speaker 7>you get beat, you've got to protect the onion. So

666
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 7>we have to make sure that that is always protected.

667
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.720
<v Speaker 7>We are always layered in behind, and we're we don't

668
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 7>get caught out of position too much.

669
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:24.119
<v Speaker 5>All right.

670
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:28.200
<v Speaker 1>So it is west first sight at Beaufort after surviving Brookwood,

671
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 1>number one and number two in the rankings.

672
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Guess what number three is coming to town.

673
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Lay it all out for for folks who are going

674
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 1>to be trying to get a ticket to get into

675
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 1>the building.

676
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:39.400
<v Speaker 5>The when, the how.

677
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Let everybody know how they can go see some quality

678
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.480
<v Speaker 1>soccer when you get to a host for site this

679
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.079
<v Speaker 1>time around.

680
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 7>So we uh, first of all, I hate rankings. Let

681
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.920
<v Speaker 7>me just go ahead and throw that out there, because

682
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.079
<v Speaker 7>that's all it is about, is the rankings. And really

683
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:57.440
<v Speaker 7>it's just a a coaches group just looking at schedules,

684
00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 7>strength to schedule in this and rankings.

685
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 6>Anyways, I'll put that plug in there for you.

686
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.079
<v Speaker 7>But the game, for sure, we'll have an we'll have

687
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 7>our back gate open as well with our ticket taker there.

688
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.719
<v Speaker 7>There was only one gate open last time, so there

689
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 7>will be two interests, one for the away fans to

690
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 7>come in and then obviously one for our home fans

691
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:20.440
<v Speaker 7>to come in. So but gates will be open an

692
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 7>hour before kickoff and it's going to be a great environment.

693
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 7>And I think that there's gonna be a lot of

694
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 7>bodies up close to the fence yelling and scream. It's

695
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.719
<v Speaker 7>a different environment than a massive stadium environment.

696
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.360
<v Speaker 6>Everybody is very close. It's very intimate and you know,

697
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 6>hopefully we can hope for the best.

698
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:40.639
<v Speaker 5>All right, what time is kick kickoffs?

699
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 4>That's six o'clock all right, so.

700
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:45.519
<v Speaker 1>It's another dinner time kick there at going up against

701
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 1>West Forscyth. After getting through Brookwood, you're now survivor of

702
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.480
<v Speaker 1>your bracket, your low right bracket, your your quadrant and

703
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 1>now you get West for scythe great to see you

704
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the other day for the match, right to have you

705
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>coming to the show and go get some lunch and

706
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 1>have a great match against West for Scyth.

707
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:00.960
<v Speaker 5>Great to see.

708
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:03.079
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, sir, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.

709
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:05.559
<v Speaker 1>You bet Meghan Hill the head coach at Buford, and

710
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>she's got West forsythe.

711
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 5>I mean literally, you look, you look at the six

712
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:10.920
<v Speaker 5>A bracket.

713
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 1>It's like you look at it and you're going, okay,

714
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 1>three nationally ranked teams, three in the top five nationally.

715
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 1>They get paired in the right hand side. But once

716
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:20.880
<v Speaker 1>again has to do with the RODA. I don't know,

717
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:22.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe it should, maybe there should be some math in

718
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.159
<v Speaker 1>future years when it comes to, you know, things like

719
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:30.519
<v Speaker 1>this to where you have these teams playing later, like later,

720
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.639
<v Speaker 1>not like last round, quick turn, but later. Just saying anyway,

721
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.599
<v Speaker 1>uh so West Verscyth and Beauford that match up six

722
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 1>o'clock on the Buford campus. And remember, and I learned

723
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:45.639
<v Speaker 1>this too, it is not at Tom Riden. It is

724
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.199
<v Speaker 1>on the new campus at the high school where they

725
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>have a back to back press box that can watch

726
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.920
<v Speaker 1>two matches at any given time. So if like lacrosse

727
00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:57.679
<v Speaker 1>is going on and soccer is going on, or you

728
00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:59.639
<v Speaker 1>have practice and you need to have it shot, it

729
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:01.760
<v Speaker 1>literally is back to back. It is a back to

730
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.760
<v Speaker 1>back press box and fields that are neighboring each other.

731
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:10.480
<v Speaker 1>So the soccer uh the soccer stadium has football goalposts,

732
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 1>so you can have multiple teams practicing and doing things

733
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:17.440
<v Speaker 1>more than one one group at a time. But on

734
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.159
<v Speaker 1>the new campus that's where it is. It's not up

735
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the hill, hang left and go up the hill to

736
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.639
<v Speaker 1>tom riding on the grass surface. It is on the

737
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 1>new campus. So if you're going, get your tickets ahead

738
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:33.039
<v Speaker 1>of time. If you're going, go early so you can

739
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:37.840
<v Speaker 1>find a place to park. Full disclosure. I made a

740
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.559
<v Speaker 1>place to park because I got there like right before

741
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:42.960
<v Speaker 1>kickoff because I had to have the battery replaced on

742
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.440
<v Speaker 1>my car.

743
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 5>You remember that.

744
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So West Rosythe and Buford six o'clock six. A other

745
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:53.239
<v Speaker 1>semi final is Lambert at Walton. Lambert rank number six,

746
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 1>ten nine in pks against Mill Creek goal us after

747
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.280
<v Speaker 1>eighty ninety and one hundred and it ended up Lambert

748
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:03.840
<v Speaker 1>getting the win ten nine and pks.

749
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 5>They go to Walton.

750
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Walton went to Harrison shut out the Hoyas one nil.

751
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:11.400
<v Speaker 1>So it is a number six Lambert at number five

752
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Walton and it is number three West Verscyth at number

753
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:18.320
<v Speaker 1>two Buford. That's six A girl going backwards Quad A

754
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Girls Cambridge and Maris. Cambridge shut out Walnut Grow by

755
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the score of five nil. They travel to stadler Field

756
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>as Maris beat stars Mill by the score of four

757
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.559
<v Speaker 1>to one. So Cambridge, your number two set out of

758
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Region six, ranked number four, takes on Maris, the number

759
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.320
<v Speaker 1>two ranked team in Quad A Region champ out of

760
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Region five. Left hand side of the bracket. BT goes

761
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:43.679
<v Speaker 1>to Alatuna because once again, remember if you are in

762
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:47.559
<v Speaker 1>your brackets and you're the same seed coin flip that

763
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:50.639
<v Speaker 1>was held down in Thomaston with the GHSA goes to

764
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:54.559
<v Speaker 1>the lower lower half. So Blessed Trinity beat Saint Pius

765
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 1>two to one in the Battle of number one and

766
00:37:56.760 --> 00:38:02.079
<v Speaker 1>number six off of off of a Highway nine and

767
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Holcomb Bridge, which I think turns into Alpharetta Road at

768
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 1>that point. I think once you clear Highway nine and

769
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.679
<v Speaker 1>you're heading toward Roswell, it's just past Roswell High School.

770
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:14.400
<v Speaker 1>So BT travels to Alatuona. Alatoona beat north of Coney

771
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in a back and forth affair. Seven goals scored. Alatoona

772
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.559
<v Speaker 1>got four of them. So Alatuna goes to North of Cony,

773
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:24.280
<v Speaker 1>gets the win in Watkinsville. Then they now host because

774
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.840
<v Speaker 1>they're the Region champ, number five ranked team in the

775
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>scoreboard rankings, BT ranked number one, So Cambridge it's number

776
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:35.079
<v Speaker 1>four at number two BT it's number one at number

777
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:39.920
<v Speaker 1>five Alatuona Cambridge at Marist BT is at ALATOONA. Five

778
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:44.320
<v Speaker 1>A girls, it is Greenbrier traveling to northgateon Pope going

779
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to number one Roswell LASSI went to Greenbrier. Greenbrier got

780
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the win one nill. So Greenbrier is your Region one champ, unranked,

781
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:55.280
<v Speaker 1>has made it all the way to the final four.

782
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:59.599
<v Speaker 1>We've seen Greenbrier and Rob Houston as early as the

783
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Creek Cup this year, and we'll see if we can

784
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:04.760
<v Speaker 1>figure out where Rob might be as he's heading to

785
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Northgate tomorrow. I guess as he might be on the

786
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:11.280
<v Speaker 1>bus then. So Greenbrier unranked, they've had a lot of

787
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the they've had their entire bracket at home and now

788
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 1>they have to go to Northgate. Northgate beat Loganville five

789
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:21.079
<v Speaker 1>to one. So ranked number six, your Region three champ

790
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 1>is hosting Greenbrier, your region champ out of Region one.

791
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Left hand side in five A right hand side Pope

792
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and Roswell. Pope shuts out Alexander three nils So the

793
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:36.320
<v Speaker 1>number two ranked Pope. Region six Champ travels to Roswell.

794
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Roswell ranked number one. Region seven Champ beat the Region

795
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:42.039
<v Speaker 1>eight Champ hab Central, who is ranked number eight four

796
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to one. So five a girls to wrap up the

797
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:48.519
<v Speaker 1>girl side of things, Greenbrier at Northgate, Pope at Roswell.

798
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:51.599
<v Speaker 1>So that's your rundown of the girls brackets and all

799
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.159
<v Speaker 1>of those action, All of that action is tomorrow unless

800
00:39:55.199 --> 00:40:00.679
<v Speaker 1>once again, unless there is a scheduling question or there

801
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 1>is something else that is a part of all of

802
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 1>that discussion, and you get to find out literally where

803
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 1>things go. All right, it is time to check in. Now,

804
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:17.239
<v Speaker 1>let's see, last time he was here, coach Aaron Paul

805
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:21.679
<v Speaker 1>was in a law class, and so last time he

806
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:23.679
<v Speaker 1>was here, he was in law class. And we'll check

807
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.039
<v Speaker 1>in with We'll check in with Aaron and find out

808
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:29.519
<v Speaker 1>if he is still, as a matter of fact, in

809
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:33.039
<v Speaker 1>law class or if he has stolen himself away to

810
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 1>yet another location, and we get to find out where

811
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>he may be hiding and find out what's going on

812
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:41.880
<v Speaker 1>out at Morgan County. We bring in Aaron Paul of

813
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:44.159
<v Speaker 1>the conversation. So are you hiding?

814
00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:48.639
<v Speaker 4>Can you see me?

815
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Not yet?

816
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Hold on to turn the camera if you wish there

817
00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:56.960
<v Speaker 1>he is.

818
00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, sorry, I am still in law class.

819
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:04.719
<v Speaker 5>Actually all right, So what's the lesson today? In law class?

820
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:10.199
<v Speaker 4>They're finishing their test on constitutional law, So picking ten

821
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 4>cases from ten different categories of constitutional law, so executive power,

822
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 4>legislative power, judicial power, uh, state power, checks and balances

823
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.840
<v Speaker 4>type stuff, foundations they're so they're just picking one of

824
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.760
<v Speaker 4>the one of ten cases from different categories and kind

825
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:26.599
<v Speaker 4>of summarizing it.

826
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So okay, So which one of those ten categories would

827
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:33.800
<v Speaker 1>apply itself to what Morgan County has been able to

828
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:35.159
<v Speaker 1>do on the pitch this season.

829
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.079
<v Speaker 5>Checks and balances, Yeah, probably checks and balances.

830
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:43.360
<v Speaker 4>You're probably looking at like a judicial review Marbury versus

831
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Madison case. You know, something that that says we can

832
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:51.000
<v Speaker 4>do this, but also you can't do this.

833
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:57.639
<v Speaker 5>So okay.

834
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.159
<v Speaker 1>So when you look at when you look at what

835
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.039
<v Speaker 1>has been going on this season on campus, if if

836
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we had had the conversation once again beginning of the year,

837
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.559
<v Speaker 1>if we had been talking about the programs and the

838
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:12.400
<v Speaker 1>growth there at Morgan County, and you would have seen

839
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the lostal accomplishments and successes to get to this point.

840
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.480
<v Speaker 5>What would you have told me about the growth of

841
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:18.480
<v Speaker 5>the program on the whole.

842
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:25.719
<v Speaker 4>Hm, I think I think at the beginning of the season,

843
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:29.599
<v Speaker 4>I would say it's been tremendous growth over the last decade.

844
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean just sort of. I remember when I interviewed

845
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:37.280
<v Speaker 4>in June of twenty fourteen, I just I student taught

846
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.559
<v Speaker 4>and graduated from Georgia in the fall of thirteen, and

847
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:43.599
<v Speaker 4>I student taught at North Quinnette High School. And I

848
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 4>didn't coach anything when I stuit of teaching, just because

849
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:48.519
<v Speaker 4>I was commuting from Athens to swanean back and taking

850
00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:52.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, taking my class. And the spring of fourteen,

851
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.360
<v Speaker 4>they actually hired me to teach like two classes at

852
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.400
<v Speaker 4>North Quinnette. So I helped with spring football practice a

853
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:58.599
<v Speaker 4>little bit, but then summer hit and it was kind

854
00:42:58.599 --> 00:42:59.800
<v Speaker 4>of like, all right, what are you know, where we're

855
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.280
<v Speaker 4>going to do a job, And where's a job going

856
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:04.880
<v Speaker 4>to be. And one of my classmates student taught at

857
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Morgan and he said they had an opening. So I

858
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:11.320
<v Speaker 4>applied and interviewed, and our former athletic director, Steve Syston

859
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:13.639
<v Speaker 4>who passed away last year, you know, gave me the

860
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.239
<v Speaker 4>opportunity of a lifetime to come in. And I remember

861
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:20.039
<v Speaker 4>saying then looking at kind of Morgan County soccer up

862
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.159
<v Speaker 4>until that point, and knew that there was interest in

863
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:25.880
<v Speaker 4>the community. We have a club team in town. We're

864
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:28.280
<v Speaker 4>back this. This should be when RISA was really big

865
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:31.000
<v Speaker 4>in Rockdale and then Athens is so close. I just

866
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:33.760
<v Speaker 4>I knew there was a lot of potential and interest,

867
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:35.440
<v Speaker 4>and I remember saying in an interview, we have to

868
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.280
<v Speaker 4>focus on winning our region games. We got to put

869
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:42.320
<v Speaker 4>ourselves in a situation to compete for region championships, to

870
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.239
<v Speaker 4>give ourselves a chance in the playoffs. Well, fast forward,

871
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:49.159
<v Speaker 4>we've won five region championships in a row. I think

872
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:53.159
<v Speaker 4>I've won seven in ten years or eleven seasons. And

873
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 4>then I know, like my senior class right now, who

874
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:57.480
<v Speaker 4>just finished are thirty and four in region play in

875
00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:59.679
<v Speaker 4>four years. So I would say, you know, we accomplished

876
00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:02.079
<v Speaker 4>that goal. And then we've been able to put ourselves

877
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker 4>in playoff contention, you know, making multiple Sweet sixteens, a

878
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.199
<v Speaker 4>couple of Elite eights. We had the number one seed

879
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:12.920
<v Speaker 4>this year, so we're relevant. I think we've made ourselves relevant.

880
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:17.039
<v Speaker 4>And I'm big on consistency. You know, we're consistently in

881
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:21.199
<v Speaker 4>the region conversation, consistently knocking on that door in the playoffs,

882
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:22.920
<v Speaker 4>and so I think that's huge. I would much rather

883
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.119
<v Speaker 4>be consistent like we are year to year instead of

884
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:27.159
<v Speaker 4>like being one and done, you know, win the state

885
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.840
<v Speaker 4>championship and then you're just kind of all over the place.

886
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:33.599
<v Speaker 4>And so I think consistency has been big for us.

887
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:38.199
<v Speaker 1>And then what's it been like to see the region grow?

888
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:41.039
<v Speaker 1>And we can take it two ways that the region

889
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:45.280
<v Speaker 1>lowercase are with what you're able to see with club

890
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and devotion to resources and that kind of a thing.

891
00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:52.440
<v Speaker 1>And then region capital are where the teams in Middle

892
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Georgia they're coming up the ladder. Jackson has done really well.

893
00:44:56.440 --> 00:44:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if if I'm supposed to mention the

894
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:00.800
<v Speaker 1>j Ward in this time when it comes to the

895
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.119
<v Speaker 1>boys side or not. But Jackson and Pike and Callaway

896
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and you guys, I mean, you guys are knocking each

897
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:11.280
<v Speaker 1>other around like it's a battle royal every week. To

898
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:14.639
<v Speaker 1>see the region where you where you're growing the Morgan

899
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:18.000
<v Speaker 1>County program, to see that grow. And then Capital our

900
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:20.960
<v Speaker 1>region where you guys are making deep runs and you know,

901
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:22.239
<v Speaker 1>taking each other out.

902
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, and then you left a couple out. Like just

903
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:26.719
<v Speaker 4>down the road, Lake o Coney Academy's going to the

904
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:29.519
<v Speaker 4>final four. You know, they're a small school, but they're

905
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:33.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, they're right there with it. Putnam County a

906
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.239
<v Speaker 4>couple of years, our neighbor next door, they've been doing

907
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:39.679
<v Speaker 4>really well as well. So I mean the region is

908
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Central Georgia is just really kind of taken off in

909
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.320
<v Speaker 4>terms of in terms of soccer. I think a lot

910
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:47.119
<v Speaker 4>of that's population growth because you're seeing a lot of

911
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:50.360
<v Speaker 4>people moving like that I twenty Corridor is spreading out,

912
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:53.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, from Augusta all the way you know, to

913
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.119
<v Speaker 4>all the way to the west side of the state.

914
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:59.159
<v Speaker 4>So I think it's it's fun to watch. Like we

915
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.639
<v Speaker 4>built this huge soccer complex in Morgan County with our

916
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:05.199
<v Speaker 4>wreck Department. You have all these soccer fields and ocney

917
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.719
<v Speaker 4>up the road. Putnam's got soccer fields. You know, it's

918
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:09.480
<v Speaker 4>just grow and grow and growing. So it's just and

919
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:13.119
<v Speaker 4>I think Atlanta United is a big part of There

920
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:16.960
<v Speaker 4>always was a soccer sense, but when Atlanta United came

921
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:20.000
<v Speaker 4>to Atlanta, I think it really just kind of gave

922
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.960
<v Speaker 4>the soccer community kind of like an anchor in the state,

923
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:25.039
<v Speaker 4>and then it just kind of spreads out from there

924
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:27.280
<v Speaker 4>and it's it's fun to watch. That's a great sport.

925
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's you know, we had for ball boys

926
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:32.760
<v Speaker 4>for our first round playoff game, we had some elementary

927
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:34.440
<v Speaker 4>school kids that play on the club team in town

928
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 4>come ball boy for us, you know, which was awesome.

929
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.719
<v Speaker 4>You know, they wanted to come support the guys team.

930
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 4>So I think it's awesome. And then in terms of

931
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 4>like the region play, I feel like we've been yanked

932
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.199
<v Speaker 4>around geographically because last four years we were going to Augusta.

933
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.239
<v Speaker 4>Now we're going all the way to the West Georgia.

934
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:54.880
<v Speaker 4>And I drove our girls team to Columbus on Tuesday

935
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:57.360
<v Speaker 4>because we worked really close with our girls program, So

936
00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 4>I drove them to Columbus on Tuesday, and I was like,

937
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:01.760
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I've made this drive before this season,

938
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.280
<v Speaker 4>like five times, you know, going through uh Monticello for

939
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:09.360
<v Speaker 4>scythe you know, passing through Jackson kind of stuff. And

940
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:11.800
<v Speaker 4>then you know, we're we're coming up one eighty five

941
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:14.119
<v Speaker 4>late Tuesday night, and I was like, there's the Lagrange

942
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 4>exit and I was like, oh, I've been there a

943
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:20.159
<v Speaker 4>couple of times this year. You know, I think the region.

944
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:24.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, Callaway is a really good program overall, respected,

945
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.800
<v Speaker 4>they have been good. Pike County we've kind of been

946
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.519
<v Speaker 4>chasing each other, like in the rankings. We haven't played

947
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:36.000
<v Speaker 4>them since like twenty fourteen season until this year. And

948
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:38.559
<v Speaker 4>then Jackson. We actually played Jackson in the first round

949
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:41.039
<v Speaker 4>of the playoffs like two or three years ago and

950
00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:44.079
<v Speaker 4>beat them, and so Jackson's really on the rise.

951
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know so, I mean you look at

952
00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:52.599
<v Speaker 1>and it's so it's it's you, it's Sean Gillery, it's

953
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Mike Petite at Callaway, Yeah, And I mean it's guys,

954
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's it's coaches that under stand that, you know, for

955
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:04.800
<v Speaker 1>lack of a better phrase, you're in a growth market

956
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and if you hit things the right way and there's

957
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the attention to detail and the attention to the program

958
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.800
<v Speaker 1>from the community and from the school, that you can

959
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.639
<v Speaker 1>do some really good things across the board. And I

960
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:19.440
<v Speaker 1>think that, I mean, I think that you guys in

961
00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:21.360
<v Speaker 1>that region on the whole, I mean, what's going on

962
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:25.119
<v Speaker 1>in Zebulin with Justin. I mean, you guys are really

963
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:28.760
<v Speaker 1>doing some great work, But I have I have half

964
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a mind to sit there and think that they might

965
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:33.320
<v Speaker 1>have had you drive the yellow Hound because you knew

966
00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that route to get to the Columbus.

967
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm taking them to Savannah. I'm taking our girls

968
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:41.039
<v Speaker 4>to Savannah tomorrow. So they said they won that game,

969
00:48:41.119 --> 00:48:42.760
<v Speaker 4>so I got to drive them back. So our principal

970
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:45.920
<v Speaker 4>let me often drive them. So that'll be a late night.

971
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:48.440
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, it's you know, coaching against like Justin and

972
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Sean and those guys in Mike have been you know,

973
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:53.480
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a

974
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:56.119
<v Speaker 4>good battle back and forth, you know, and and man

975
00:48:56.159 --> 00:49:00.000
<v Speaker 4>that we're we're still licking our wounds from the Jackson game.

976
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you know the details of it,

977
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:04.519
<v Speaker 4>but it was zero zero at half. We knew it

978
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:06.800
<v Speaker 4>was going to be a close game. We've kind of

979
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.039
<v Speaker 4>struggled offensively all year to put it in the back

980
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:11.480
<v Speaker 4>of the net, like our our defensive possession of midfield

981
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:13.039
<v Speaker 4>was great, and then we'd get it to the to

982
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:14.440
<v Speaker 4>the attack and third and it was just like, all right,

983
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:16.840
<v Speaker 4>we got to finish. We got to finish. Zero zero

984
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:18.480
<v Speaker 4>at half, I told the guys have time we just

985
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.920
<v Speaker 4>got to finish. We just got to finish they and

986
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.440
<v Speaker 4>I knew they could do this because they did it

987
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.039
<v Speaker 4>in their first round game. Jackson hit a free kick

988
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:28.960
<v Speaker 4>off off of a foul call just outside the box,

989
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.239
<v Speaker 4>and it was one of the best kicks I've ever seen.

990
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it just goes over the wall, over our keepers,

991
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:36.400
<v Speaker 4>really tall, goes over his hands in the back of

992
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:38.760
<v Speaker 4>the net. Just it was upper ninety just ridiculous. I

993
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:40.559
<v Speaker 4>mean everybody was like, wow, that was a good shot.

994
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:44.639
<v Speaker 4>And then we had a little bit of a they had.

995
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Jackson's got some speed and they where they have speed

996
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:51.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't in some spots, and they took advantage of

997
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.199
<v Speaker 4>it on a quick counter attack and it was a

998
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.360
<v Speaker 4>foot race, and I just knew we weren't going to

999
00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:57.320
<v Speaker 4>be able to stop them. So they go up to zero.

1000
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Game gets a little chippy towards the end. We get

1001
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:05.119
<v Speaker 4>a fast break go they actually tackle us in the box.

1002
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.039
<v Speaker 4>Draw PK. We kicked BK. Make it two one. There's

1003
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:10.119
<v Speaker 4>probably fifteen minutes left, About ten minutes left, one of

1004
00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:13.480
<v Speaker 4>my midfielders, miles off to the reft, gets a red card.

1005
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:17.159
<v Speaker 4>We're down a guy, and I had switched to a three,

1006
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:19.079
<v Speaker 4>five to two. At that point, I was like, all right,

1007
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:21.079
<v Speaker 4>we're in damage control. We got to score and we

1008
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:23.000
<v Speaker 4>had a lot of pressure on them, and I was confident.

1009
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:24.320
<v Speaker 4>I was like, we're gonna tie this game. We're gonna

1010
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:26.239
<v Speaker 4>tie this game. But then when we got the red card,

1011
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:28.000
<v Speaker 4>it just kind of sucked the life out, you know.

1012
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:33.280
<v Speaker 4>And I'm happy for Jackson and what they've been able

1013
00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:35.119
<v Speaker 4>to accomplish and get to the Elite A. That's a

1014
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.400
<v Speaker 4>huge that's a huge accomplishment. And the other thing too

1015
00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:40.840
<v Speaker 4>is people don't realize you can win region championships, and

1016
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:42.519
<v Speaker 4>you can win region games, and you can win all

1017
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 4>these games. You can be the number one seed. But

1018
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:50.039
<v Speaker 4>when it gets to the playoffs, it becomes survival, staying healthy.

1019
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:54.199
<v Speaker 4>Anything can happen, and it is extremely People are like, oh,

1020
00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:55.920
<v Speaker 4>we're so good, we got to win a state championship.

1021
00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:57.599
<v Speaker 4>It's like, do you not understand how hard that is?

1022
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:00.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you're more likely to become an app astronaut

1023
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:03.599
<v Speaker 4>or something then to try to win a state championship

1024
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:07.400
<v Speaker 4>in a sport. I mean, it's just unbelievably difficult. And

1025
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:11.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, I've talked to some other coaches like I

1026
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:13.800
<v Speaker 4>haven't talked to Wesleyan's coach, but my sister in law

1027
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:16.400
<v Speaker 4>teaches at Wesleyan, and he was telling her with the

1028
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:19.519
<v Speaker 4>power ranking system that it used to be that winning

1029
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:22.079
<v Speaker 4>a region championship is supposed to make winning a state

1030
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.840
<v Speaker 4>championship just a little bit easier. It's supposed to make

1031
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:28.639
<v Speaker 4>your path just a little bit easier. Not in power rankings.

1032
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:30.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you looked at the bracket and kind

1033
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:32.760
<v Speaker 4>of who was where and things like that, like number

1034
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:35.360
<v Speaker 4>one seed didn't necessarily mean you had an easier path

1035
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.599
<v Speaker 4>to it. So that's new as well. And it's not

1036
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:43.360
<v Speaker 4>an excuse, but it's different. Yeah, but it's hard. It

1037
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:45.599
<v Speaker 4>is hard, and I hate it for my seniors. I'm

1038
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:48.760
<v Speaker 4>still tore up licking our wounds. I mean, I can't

1039
00:51:48.760 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 4>hardly talk to the guys. I'm taking up equipment and stuff,

1040
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:53.079
<v Speaker 4>and we're just we didn't expect to lose in the

1041
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:55.719
<v Speaker 4>second round. You know, that was nobody. That was a

1042
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:56.880
<v Speaker 4>kind of a shock for us.

1043
00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.239
<v Speaker 1>So well, and I mean you look at just I've

1044
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:01.400
<v Speaker 1>got I grabbed your bracket.

1045
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:02.920
<v Speaker 5>So here here's your bracket.

1046
00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in your quadrant, you have you Pike and Jackson

1047
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:15.599
<v Speaker 1>in your quadrant one, sixteen and seventeen in your quadrant

1048
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:18.840
<v Speaker 1>considering what your region was like.

1049
00:52:19.559 --> 00:52:22.599
<v Speaker 4>And they're not sixteen and seventeen to be honest with you.

1050
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:24.760
<v Speaker 4>And like East Jackson we played first round, they were

1051
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:26.599
<v Speaker 4>the thirty two. They are not. East Jackson is not

1052
00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:29.000
<v Speaker 4>a thirty two seed. There's no way they played a

1053
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.639
<v Speaker 4>tough schedule. They're they're not a thirty two. Like they

1054
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:34.719
<v Speaker 4>should be a sixteen or seventeen. Then Jackson and Pike

1055
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:36.880
<v Speaker 4>should be in the top eight in my opinion. Yeah,

1056
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's it's it's crazy, you know.

1057
00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:41.639
<v Speaker 7>So.

1058
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.079
<v Speaker 4>And then like last night, Khula and Columbus are playing.

1059
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:50.320
<v Speaker 4>I watched part of that game. I mean that Borderline

1060
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:52.679
<v Speaker 4>has been the state championship game in the past, you

1061
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:55.559
<v Speaker 4>know so, and that's that was a that was an

1062
00:52:55.559 --> 00:52:56.320
<v Speaker 4>Elite eight game.

1063
00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that and you had you had that this

1064
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.280
<v Speaker 1>year Cohola at team five, Columbus at team four.

1065
00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:05.000
<v Speaker 5>And then if you we had we had.

1066
00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Meghan Hill from Buford on the girls coach before you,

1067
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:10.079
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, she's not a fan of rankings, you know,

1068
00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:11.119
<v Speaker 1>like top tens and things.

1069
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

1070
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:15.280
<v Speaker 1>If you go by top tens and look at your

1071
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:19.599
<v Speaker 1>lower white right quadrant. Just as an example, chrisp was

1072
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 1>ranked at number ten. Heart and Callaway played each other

1073
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in the opening round. Heart was ranked number seven at

1074
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Team twenty three. Callaway was ranked number three at Team ten.

1075
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:31.920
<v Speaker 1>So Mike Petite had to host the number seven ranked

1076
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:34.559
<v Speaker 1>team in the state at Team twenty three in the

1077
00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.760
<v Speaker 1>opening round. And then Tattnall County, who's listed as team

1078
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:40.559
<v Speaker 1>two in the Power rankings, is listed number nine in

1079
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the rankings rankings.

1080
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:44.599
<v Speaker 5>All of them were low. Right to go with the

1081
00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:45.760
<v Speaker 5>math that you're talking.

1082
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:47.480
<v Speaker 4>About, Tattnell County came up here and beat us in

1083
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:50.599
<v Speaker 4>the Sacond round, like my second year making the playoffs

1084
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:53.239
<v Speaker 4>or something like that. Tatnell's been really good the last

1085
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:56.880
<v Speaker 4>few years. They've been knocking on that door. Yeah, it's tough,

1086
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 4>and it's got everybody says, oh, you dropped a double.

1087
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:02.840
<v Speaker 4>It should be a little easier. And you know because

1088
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:05.320
<v Speaker 4>like our volleyball team and softball teams won state championship

1089
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:07.239
<v Speaker 4>this year, so everybody's kind of looking like, all right, soccer,

1090
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:09.519
<v Speaker 4>you'all been making noise like you drop down a class.

1091
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:11.440
<v Speaker 4>All these other sports are girls basketball makes it to

1092
00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:14.079
<v Speaker 4>the final four and from day one people are like, man,

1093
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:15.800
<v Speaker 4>soccer's kind of win a state championship, and I'm like, well,

1094
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:18.480
<v Speaker 4>hold on a second, hold on, y'all need to calm down.

1095
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:20.280
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know if I told you this earlier

1096
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:24.039
<v Speaker 4>in this year, but we had had I lost three

1097
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:27.559
<v Speaker 4>starters to club ball this season. Huh huh, three guys

1098
00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:30.480
<v Speaker 4>that started on my Elite eight team last year, so

1099
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:32.400
<v Speaker 4>I had to fill those gaps. One of them left

1100
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:34.800
<v Speaker 4>before the season, so we kind of knew that ahead

1101
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.599
<v Speaker 4>of time, but then I had two more leave after

1102
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:40.519
<v Speaker 4>we started reaching play, so we had to patch that

1103
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.440
<v Speaker 4>up and fix that, you know, which was tough.

1104
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:46.719
<v Speaker 5>That's crazy.

1105
00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:48.760
<v Speaker 4>All three of which all three of which one of

1106
00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:50.679
<v Speaker 4>them would have been the goal scorer, two other ones

1107
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:53.480
<v Speaker 4>would have been critical players and starters, you know.

1108
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:56.960
<v Speaker 1>So my last question for you, thanks for hanging out

1109
00:54:56.960 --> 00:55:01.519
<v Speaker 1>again this week while you're watching testing, So what is

1110
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the what is the game plan for the departure for

1111
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Savannah Arts tomorrow?

1112
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:08.719
<v Speaker 5>Since you are apparently behind the wheel, What's what's the deal.

1113
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:12.039
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna leave after first period with the girls. This

1114
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:13.800
<v Speaker 4>is the first time any any soccer team in Morgan

1115
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:16.599
<v Speaker 4>County's made it to the final four, so it's a

1116
00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:22.239
<v Speaker 4>huge big deal for us. You know, coach Stamps AND's

1117
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:26.199
<v Speaker 4>been coaching us for She did it a year before

1118
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:27.920
<v Speaker 4>I got here, so we've just been together like the

1119
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.119
<v Speaker 4>whole time. But AND's from Morgan County. She used to

1120
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:32.159
<v Speaker 4>catch softball here. She actually won three state championships as

1121
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:36.960
<v Speaker 4>a softball coach a while ago. Since the first time

1122
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:38.920
<v Speaker 4>any of our teams have made it beyond the Elite eight,

1123
00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:40.599
<v Speaker 4>which is cool. So we're gonna leave right after first

1124
00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:42.880
<v Speaker 4>period round between nine thirty and ten. I think we're

1125
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:46.440
<v Speaker 4>gonna go to Dublin eat and then finish the trip

1126
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:48.119
<v Speaker 4>to Savannah get there. I think the game is at

1127
00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:51.639
<v Speaker 4>five o'clock, so, which is good, so we can get

1128
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:53.480
<v Speaker 4>an early start and then turn around come back after

1129
00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:55.960
<v Speaker 4>the game is over. I know our girls were doing

1130
00:55:55.960 --> 00:55:57.760
<v Speaker 4>ice bass yesterday. I got it set up for him.

1131
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:01.000
<v Speaker 4>They've been watching a lot of film and you know,

1132
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:03.119
<v Speaker 4>I think our girls are peaking at the right time

1133
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:04.760
<v Speaker 4>because if you'd have told me, you know, they're in

1134
00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:08.280
<v Speaker 4>the region with Pike, who's their pikes girls are they

1135
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:14.400
<v Speaker 4>may take the whole thing, and so they're a testament

1136
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:16.559
<v Speaker 4>to you don't necessarily have to win region to get

1137
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:18.960
<v Speaker 4>this far, it may may actually help you. And so

1138
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:20.440
<v Speaker 4>the girls, if you'd told me they were going to

1139
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:23.360
<v Speaker 4>make it to the final four a month ago, I'd

1140
00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:24.679
<v Speaker 4>have been like, Ooh, I don't know, because we had

1141
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:26.400
<v Speaker 4>some injuries when we started the playoffs. We had three

1142
00:56:26.440 --> 00:56:29.320
<v Speaker 4>stars out with injuries. So for our girls team, so

1143
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:30.440
<v Speaker 4>it's about surviving.

1144
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Yep, ranked number four on the girl's side, team number

1145
00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:37.920
<v Speaker 1>seven traveling to Savannah Arts, who is ranked number six

1146
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and team number three. We're talking to the head of

1147
00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:44.880
<v Speaker 1>transportation for this soccer team tomorrow, Aaron Paul. On the

1148
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:48.199
<v Speaker 1>boy's side, great run for you guys's team, top ranked

1149
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.599
<v Speaker 1>team in Class Double A. Boys, go and finish up

1150
00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:54.199
<v Speaker 1>the testing. Make sure that everybody has everything pointed in

1151
00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the right direction when it comes to states rights and

1152
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:01.039
<v Speaker 1>what the Constitution says and all that kind of We

1153
00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:03.280
<v Speaker 1>might have you come back next week to do some

1154
00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:05.800
<v Speaker 1>scouting for us in Double A when the championship is

1155
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.800
<v Speaker 1>named okay, and just to kind of break things down

1156
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:10.679
<v Speaker 1>for us as one as our Double A expert, and

1157
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:12.519
<v Speaker 1>just have you talk about all the other championships that

1158
00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you might keep an eye on as well. You're developing

1159
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:17.719
<v Speaker 1>into one of our experts here on the noonsho.

1160
00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:19.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't come me an expert yet. I gotta learn

1161
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:21.880
<v Speaker 4>that title. Hey, I saw your email about Morgan County gear.

1162
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:22.679
<v Speaker 4>I'll send you some.

1163
00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Stuff so that would be epic.

1164
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Just let me know where and when, and we'll figure

1165
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it out and it will be shown. It will be

1166
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:31.559
<v Speaker 1>shown here in the office. Nice and it will be

1167
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:34.960
<v Speaker 1>It will be here in office HD and the boss

1168
00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.400
<v Speaker 1>will probably take the Morgan County gear and she will

1169
00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:39.440
<v Speaker 1>probably end up wearing it around the state and it

1170
00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:42.199
<v Speaker 1>turns into an instant conversation piece. I know how it goes.

1171
00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:44.800
<v Speaker 1>The stuff ends up with her first, and I might

1172
00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:47.159
<v Speaker 1>get the chance to wear it. But fantastic stuff that

1173
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:49.519
<v Speaker 1>you're doing this season down there. Great work by you

1174

1187
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.239
<v Speaker 1>of talk about the boy's side and how tough it

1188
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:25.159
<v Speaker 1>was considering that Jackson has made the run, talk about

1189
