Monon Bell Week + IHSAA Sectional Finals Recap and Regionals Preview

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are, however you may be listening. Thanks for tuning in to the Get Indiana podcast network. My name is Dominic Miranda and I've been covering sports for nearly a decade. Most of which right here in Indianapolis. This is the Get In Sports podcast. We're going to be covering everything in the Hooser State, high school, college, pro, in the sports capital of the universe in the greatest state on planet Earth.

Thanks so much for coming on this journey with us. Let's get into it. Welcome to Get In Sports. Before we get into everything that uh we typically cover from regional matchups we're looking forward to or sectional recaps, we had a bit of news that we wanted to share in regards to the unfortunate passing of Gabe Steiner of South Adams. Dom, I know Kyle did a great story and you had some some news here. What do we know about Gabe?

Yeah, obviously news you never ever want to hear when it comes to someone who's just 16 years old and obviously was a big part of that community. And South Adams, a tight-knit community who rallies around the football program, a very successful one. And Kyle Nenri, who he had on the program not too long ago, he's excellent in his high school football coverage. And I just want to read this because I think it it's just a really good kind of encapsulation of this young man and and what he meant to the community. Kyle starts. In his 12 years as a South Adams football coach, Grant Moer, watched Gabe Steiner grow up.

Steiner, the oldest son of defensive coordinator Scott Steiner, went from a preschooler climbing around in the football coach's office to a 16-year-old starting linebacker, defined by his toughness, grit, and willingness to put his 5'10, 180lb frame on the line. "He played so hard," Moer said. If he made a mistake, he did it going 100 miles an hour. When you talk about his character, he did everything the right way. He worked his butt off. Gabe Steiner's life was cut short late Saturday night in rural Adams County after his car was struck by a speeding vehicle that allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign.

Steiner died Wednesday afternoon. Scott and Amber Steiner along with Gab's younger siblings Grady, Garrick, and Grlin released the following statement through South Adams on Wednesday. With broken hearts, we wanted to let our amazing family, friends, and the community know that Gabe took his last breath at 3:18 today, only minutes after the removal of a ventilator. Gabe fought fiercely for three and a half days after sustaining life-threatening brain injuries from a car accident late Saturday night. Gabe brought so much love and joy into our lives and we have been absolutely blown away by the numerous stories of how he has impacted so many of your lives as well. We will forever treasure our time with him and know our lives will never be the same.

Words cannot express how deeply he will be missed. So, I just want to read that little snippet. Kyle Nenri did a wonderful job giving the necessary gravitas to this young man and the situation and uh we appreciate that and we certainly our hearts go out to the Steiner family, the whole South Adams football program and community. Uh they got it done over Fremont. So like that's a pretty positive thing. Won the sectional title without their teammate.

But we just wanted to dedicate this episode to Gabe Steiner. Our hearts and prayers are with you. Yeah, man. that is it just puts things into perspective that you know it's high school sports and we have a lot of fun on this show but like there are certain things that are just way bigger than football way bigger than sports and yeah our hearts our love our prayers go out to the South Adams community and I mean I know we had so many comments and stories and people saying like hey guys this is this is news that that you need to be talking about and we absolutely agree 100% so we love you guys hearts and uh prayers and thoughts are with you and we will do our best to continue bringing posit positivity and joy in the wake of something very tragic and sad. So, we love you. We're here for you.

Anything we can do to memorialize this young man and bring positive feelings, we absolutely will do. So, with that, we will get into the podcast now. Hello everybody and welcome to the Get Indiana podcast network studios in Broadripple, Indiana. I am Dominic Miranda, joined as always every Monday night slt Tuesday morning sometimes when we go late by Mr. Nate Spangle. We're in regionals.

Dude, can you believe that? This postseason has flown by. It's unbelievable. We have a ton to get to. College, high school, whatever the heck is going on with the Indianapolis Colts, but I'm I'm most jacked about high school football. No.

Untrue. You're not most jacked about high school football, dude. Wait a minute. This is because something's going on this weekend. This is a holiday in the Spangle and I thought the Miranda household. It is.

I was set up. It is a week that I look forward to more than Christmas, more than New Year's, more than my birthday. Dang. It's Monon Bell week, baby. Bell week. Let's go.

Now, for anyone that does not know the lore, that is the Monan bell. We're talking about the oldest college football rivalry in the state of Indiana, possibly the universe. M it's one of the top I believe five maybe three oldest college football rivalries uh in the country in 1932 they started playing for the Monan Bell Mhm. But they Wash and Depal has played forever since 1890 the same year that Army and Navy started playing. That's awesome. That's awesome.

So Waw Bash leads the alltime series 63 to 59. There have been nine ties since the trophy was introduced. Waw Bash leads 44 to 43, six ties. So a Depal win on Saturday would tie it up since the trophy was introduced, since the bell was introduced. The current win streak, Depal has won four in a row, and I'm going to be real honest with you, it should be six, save for a furious 21 point comeback in 2021 by Waw Bash. Got to give credit where credit is due.

Due, but from 2009 to 2015, Waw Bash won 1, two, three, four, five, six, seven in a row. Dude, I was there at the 2014 game and then obviously we were freshman 2015. Those games were tough, dude. What was his name? Mason Zurich. Yes.

From uh wasn't it Northridge or He was from Northern Indiana? I thought he was from Crown Point. I It was Northern Indiana somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, I think he was from Crown Point. He was a beast, dude.

I think he was like 245 running the football. Dude, he was unreal. Yeah, he was he was an absolute beast. So then Waw Bash's head coach actually got the job head coaching job at Savannah State because of so much success at Waw Bash. Fun fact about that guy, which I believe his last name was Rayurn. I forget his first name, but he is the nephew of longtime unbelievable Mount Union head coach Kieran.

Larry Kieran. I don't know if I'm saying that correctly, but you know how good Mount Union football is. Just unbelievable. So kind of a funny D3. I I'm I'm steady on the uh Wikipedia pages for college coaches. It's something that's very odd.

The last time this game was played in Indianapolis a handful of times back in the early 1910s. Did Ken Owen reach out to you? He did not. He sent me a message. Ken Owen's awesome by the way. I got to give the Ken reach out to me, man.

Uh he saw the clip and we said the first time it's ever been played at a neutral site. And he said nah. He said nah. Um let me get the I've seen Indianapolis here at Washington Field or Washington. Well, I'm just seeing in 1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1922. It says Indianapolis, Indiana.

Oh. So, I don't know where that was played or I believe it was. Yeah, he corrected us. But that's 1 2 3 4 5 six out of seven years from 1916 to 1922, it was played in Indianapolis. First off, shout out to Ken Owen. He's spectacular.

He's the best. Hey, Nate, keep up the great work. There were actually several games at a neutral site in Washington Park, a longgone stadium in downtown Indie in the 1910s. It's the first time since then. So, did he say why? Uh, no.

But in over a hundred years, this is the first time in around in over a hundred years that there's been a neutral sight game, which is insane. If can you conceptualize like what was happening in 1890? Dude, no. Okay. Hey, so I do want to say for rivalry football games, a couple really old rivalries. Yale vers Harvard was played first in 1875.

Yale vers Princeton uh dates back to 1873. I'm seeing Lehi vers Lafayette since 1884. Mhm. Um Amherst Amherst vers Williams, which is division three. That's 1884. Uh, like you said, Army, Navy, uh, 1890.

First Michigan Notre Dame game was 1887. I wish they played every year, but uh, that's so silly that they don't. Uh, but other games that started in 1890, uh, Wisconsin vers, Army vers Navy, Auburn vers Georgia is 1892, and North Carolina vers Wake Forest, 1888. That's cool. I mean, this is older than Texas, Oklahoma. Red River Red River rivalry started in 1900.

So, such a weird thing to say. 1911. Uh, bottom line is this is an epic college football rivalry. This is an Indiana podcast network, okay, with what Mr. Spangle does and what with my self does. And if you want to do a bucket list of things to do, I would have to guess if you listed out a hundred things, heck, maybe even 50 things and it doesn't have to revolve around sports, bucket list items in the state of Indiana, the Mon Bell would be on it.

Is that fair to say? Yeah. Like we're talking Indy500 is like probably number one. Yes. I'm I seriously And then in top 50 for sure it's a top 50 thing you have to right. Like it's this we're obviously biased but like we're talking Okay.

We're talking Indy500. We're talking Tobogen Runup Pokeen State Park. Sure. Yeah. For sure. Children's Museum.

Yeah. It's definitely in the top 50. I agree. And uh you know this game means a lot to us obviously and it's you can't replace how it is on a campus. I have to say this, but it's going to be awesome in Mudy. It's going to be 48.

There was rain in the forecast. There's no longer rain in the forecast. Hopefully the sun peaks out. It's going to be a crisp fall day. We're going to see all of our friends. It's going to be awesome.

And I will say I I think last year I got some Waw Bash individuals that were saying like I was a hater. No hate. And like I want them to be good. The Bell game is better when both teams are good. Absolutely. Like some of the crazy finishes we've seen even in the last decade have been so much fun.

This is the 10-year anniversary of Matt Hunt to Andy Hunt. Oh, just like they're in the backyard. Wait, get that call up. Dude, that 10 year anniversary, that was our sophomore year. And like I said, Depal hadn't won the bell game in seven years. Lynch hadn't won the bell game yet.

That was like a coming of age of Depal football where we rattled off three straight eight and two seasons. And that was the precipice for what DEPA is now. I mean, no thanks to Spangle and I, I'll tell you that. No. Yeah, we we were not involved. We were Hey, in this clip you'll see me running.

It's this one. Oh, that's 3 hours. Just like they're in the backyard that this was broadcast on AXS, which I believe was like a Mark Cuban owned television network at the time. That's probably since not a thing. And then it was broadcast I want to say on Fox Sports Indiana for a bit before ICT Sports Network who does a phenomenal job with it. I mean, Greg and the and the crew does do a great great job, but uh if you could find that play or just fast forward to the end here.

There it is. I love that. Oh, this is a great open. All right. Oh my gosh. And just the way the bell rings all game.

He just pushed it. I don't remember that. Did he miss a field goal or a PAT? This is Ian Good across the middle. All right. This here's the only one I was talking about.

Essence. Watch him wait. And then he Ben Wilson. Oh no. Nolan. Nolan.

Nolan. What a great You do that. Okay. Yeah. There we go. From the 20 with the bell in the balance.

Hunt. Oh jeez. He got lit up. Dude, I could do a whole watch party of just the So Wash is up 3430. Clock's running 145. Yep.

Tigers have one timeout again. Lynch hadn't won a bell game. Dep hadn't won in seven straight years. Balls at the 20. The 10 year anniversary this year. Over the middle.

Oh jeez. This is Oh, okay. I see. Ben Wilson, baby. Ben Wilson with the biggest catch of his life. I remember Ben and Ian Good had a great drive.

This drive Ian Good was catching everything. This was so awesome. This place was packed. Oh, you could just feel the tension in the air. Minute 27. Matt Hunt.

Look at that. Just spraying it. makes the catch. Ian good, baby. Brownsburg's finest quarterback turned receiver tight end. No receiver.

Sure hands. Goodness. You think he hears anything? All he can see is that ball and I got to go get it. Look at that place. 26.

So balls at the 36 and we run the ball. Yeah, I don't I don't agree with that call. It's okay, Coach Deeds. Clock. All right. Clock still continues to tick.

Alls well that ends well. 65 seconds left in the game. Wobbash up 3430. Second and 10. Under a minute now at the four 34. At the 34 going in.

Under a minute. Hunt time. Surveys over the makes. Dude and he's down. Dude, Matt Hunt was on a different level this game. Bro, this is crazy.

This was one of my fa maybe my favorite football game I've ever been in attendance for. And also this uh I mean three chunk plays in a row. Okay, 45 seconds. I think this is it. Here we go. Tigers need a touchdown.

Hunt going in zone to his brother. Caught. Touchdown Matt to Andy just like they're in the backyard. Unreal call. Unreal, dude. Now watch.

They go. They're running the sideline. You'll see me sprint here. There I am. Look at that. You did the little the little jump.

How good is this, dude? It was insane. We said we were going to play all four. All right, so now it's 3634. 38 seconds left. And then Orrison finishes it.

And if this pat is good, it'll be a three-point lead. Was this um Marco Marco Adams. Come on, baby. That's okay. A decade ago. 38 seconds to go.

Now there's 38 seconds. Wash has all three timeouts. True. It's far from over. Not over yet. Why would you?

This is a wonderful football game, folks. Who's that? Hell yeah, it was. What a wonderful football game. It totally was. Uh, scroll down a bit in the info while this is going.

Who was Oh, it doesn't say. Oh, yeah. Rich. Rich Cholini Selini and Paul Maguire. I think Paul somebody won an award for this call. I hope so.

This was awesome. Backyard. They play pitching catch. What a drive. How many chunk plays to Ben Wilson and Ian Good to you know it was usually in the backyard. Win the game.

You know that's what you hear at the touchdown to win the game. Trust me, we have a six and a half to you do that. That's how you get them in for dinner. All right. One more to win the game. that one right there to take.

Yeah. How do you think Thanksgiving was after this for the hunt? That that South St. Joe, isn't he? Um Oliver Paige. I played travel baseball with Oliver Paige, dude.

He was He was having a game. He was really good. He was really good. Cody Campbell, Chase Sadler. Rice had the ball. Oh, I saw Lasky over there in a headset.

On the headset. Let's go. All right, so we got to Devos to kick the ball off. Where's all the Oh, they're all I see. They all left the stands. what they need to do to Yeah, it got crazy on the sideline.

I mean, the students breached the fence later in the game. Breached the fence. Yeah, they did. Fumbles it and picks it up. Oh gosh, dude. Yeah, this was crazy, dude.

I'm getting nervous watching right now. They're at the 35. With 32 seconds, all three timeouts down three. They just need a field goal here. Yeah, I know. That's why what happened.

Dude, I was sweating. I was sweating. I remember being a young kid. We're sophomores at this point, Dominic. And let me set the precedent. At this point, I believe Wobash had won seven in a row.

Seven in a row going for eight. And our experience with the Mon Bell, it had not been close. No, it wasn't. Wobbash was really, really good. I mean, they were ranked, I believe, at this point in time. There's Winner.

Winner, young freshman winner, happily married now. On first down, pressured, spins away. now caught again and finally pulled down. Dude, that Dline was crazy. Hawk finished him off this mess. No, that's Chris Hawk number 94.

We had some dudes last year and didn't get to play and came back for a semester to play one more season of college football. I will say Wash's campus is beautiful. All three guys got to the quarterback. Great venue for this game. This offensive line has been blocking the Yeah, good call. Good call.

Yeah, it's getting rowdy on the sidelines. Second and 16. 25 seconds. Two timeouts. Brutus was jumping. There's still 25 seconds left to go in this ball.

This game was so awesome, dude. There's a great picture of me at the end of my pristine white jersey. Yeah. No, no dirt whatsoever. No, no. I wouldn't.

No. Second and 16. 25 seconds to go. Is this it? Here they come again. The Rice.

Threeman rush. Rice steps up, has time, throws complete. Turning up Oliver Paige. Yeah, I'm getting nervous watching. What is that? Third and Oh, why are they out again?

No timeout. Yeah, see that's what I'm saying. This former head coach wasn't exactly a basically you cannot throw the ball in the middle of the field. Hey, Haye's not in the barn yet, fellas. That's right. So, they're down to one, right, Cir?

So the middle of the field, deep middle gone into overtime. This is it. All right, here it is. 15 seconds. Third and five. Rice.

There he comes. Dancing around. Pressured and hit and the ball's out. And the streak is over. Come on. Paw has the flag is down.

Nate Orrison recovered. Strip sack recovered the fumble. Nate Orrison dog. Let me just tell you the streak is over. Oh man, dude. I still get chills thinking about that game.

Hey, I want to say Hunt Brothers, great dudes. Orrison, great dude. 10year anniversary of that game. But I will say, man, it goes in waves if you look back in it. Oh, sure. It's like Wab Bash will be really good.

Depal will be really good. It's always always a coin toss. It's always fun. It just means more in the second Saturday in November. It's the best. And you know what my favorite arguably part of that day was?

Was when we're on the bus ride home after all the celebration. We're on the bus ride home. Dep men's soccer has played a soccer game in the tournament and we're slowly creeping up cuz the buses are going to park right by the football stadium and we're like going nuts in the bus, hanging our heads out the windows and this dude scores a goal, nets it. And I believe it was in the postseason tournament and it was like in the 90th minute like to win. Unreal. Yeah, it was the vibes that night were immaculate.

I'll never forget. You know what was funny is like no one on campus had ever won the bell. No. So like we had like we had to figure out what to do with the bell. The amount of human beings who went through the Delt House that night was it was it was electric. It was electric, man.

Oh man, I'm getting I'm like emotional. All that to be said, one, if you're an avid listener of the show and you want a ticket to the Mon Bell game, shoot me a DM. I got you. We'll get you a ticket. Uh, meet us in Muny this Saturday. It's going to be electric.

If you want to come, shoot us a DM. I'll get you on a list. If you don't have your ticket, get it. Like, come to Munie, experience a bucket list item in Indiana football, college football. It's awesome. It'll be so fun.

Um, I think Depal's got it got it in the bag. That's right. Um, now this isn't the only big news we have around college football. There was also a great weekend this past weekend in college football. Talk to me, Dan. You have the right to think Notre Dame's back on the mantle of national champs, baby.

Just beating the you know what at a top ranked Miami. Look, I wish Mal Kai Tony was playing because that would have been awesome to see him. Did you watch uh we had that wedding in the Hotel Carmichael? No TVs in Hotel Carmichael. So, we were watching on phones like In and Out. We were celebrating the wonderful matrimony of Matt Wy and Madison Wy.

Um, but there are no TVs in Hotel Carmine. That's tough. But yeah, Notre Dame, I mean, the way they came out, ready to rock. Buba, Trayori, unreal. First round draft pick, dominated the game. CJ Carr was out of this world.

The drive before half was crazy. Can we talk about CJ Carr? He looked good. Can we talk about how he lost his little brother to cancer? Really, dude? I watched this video on Sunday morning and it almost made me cry.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yes, that's real. And his little They're like a big Michigan family. His grandpa is Lloyd Carr.

Yes. Who coached at Michigan for a long time. And his brother is Tommy Carr. As Tommy Carr at Michigan who started now. Yes. And so, but there is this beautiful um report they did like like video they did for ESPN talking about how their little brother Chad uh always went against the grain.

like if Michigan was playing Alabama or something like he was rooting for the other team and so he says it's poetic CJ says it's poetic that uh he ends up at Notre Dame like going against the grain cuz it's exactly what Chad would have loved and he ends up passing away when he's a little kid like back in uh the 2010s I believe and it was just like it was a heart-wrenching uh video to watch. It was it's on CJ Carr's Instagram. Go check it out, man. Uh CJ played phenomenally well. Like he he's now the odds on favorite to win the Heisman. Um and yes, preserved my mental health.

I'll tell you that. I don't know what I would have done, but Notre Dame played fantastic. Was it a catch? Wasn't it a catch? Look, Notre Dame won the football game. That's all I got to tell you.

I think these two teams will see each other again. Um but Notre Dame's here. Um they had to sit in it. Bad loss to BYU. BYU is a good football team. I think Notre Dame went in that game a little entitled.

Okay. thought they could roll off the bus and get a dub and uh this is the Marcus Freeman and this is the defense and the CJ Carr I was promised before the season. Fantastic game. Notre Dame wins. You have the right to believe they're going to be players in the College Football Playoff which expanded to 24 teams today. Dom, this is what I'm curious.

You were in the press conference today, right? I was on the teleconference call. Yes. And what does what does the college football playoff expanding to 24 teams mean for conference championship host cities like Indianapolis? It's done. So this will be our last Big 10 Championship ever.

That is correct. For the foreseeable future. For the foreseeable future. Does that like That's 25 million at least. Got to be, right? Like Indie hosts the Big 10 and has been the only host to the Big 10 Championship game.

Um well, they were going to start mixing in Yes. I believe to answer your question, yes. I'm trying to think if there was another site. I can't really think of if there was another one. I think it was always an indie. Um but they were going to start mixing in like Vegas.

Um nope. So, I'm kind I'm I'm kind of happy that Yeah. Yeah. If this was going to end ended like this, Indie, I mean, it's going to go out on top. It's probably going to be IU and UCLA this year. So, that'll be interesting to see if UCLA travels well, which I mean, I doubt.

But, um, what what do they talk about in the the teleconference? So, this was basically to incentivize team. Well, first of all, more teams in the playoff is big, but you have to make room for it. Therefore, conference championship week is no longer. So the conference champions will be determined by regular season rankings. Our regular season outcomes.

Okay. So Big 10, ACC, SEC, Big 12 conference champions, automatic bid. Be highest ranked group of six team automatic bid. 19 remaining teams are the 19 highest ranked teams. This is so the Big 10 in SEC get like what? Six teams each.

Seven teams each. I mean that's where we're trending essentially. That was like the big driver of this. But it incentivizes teams to play better. So they have a scheduling they have a scheduling standard now that power four teams you have to play 10 qualifying games which means usually it's nine conference games that you play and then your other one you can only schedule one FCS team. If you schedule more FCS teams it doesn't count positively for you.

So like IU as an example has two FCS teams on the schedule next year. Who's the other one? Oh, next year it's Indiana State and Kennesaw State and then they play Jacksonville State as well. So like they're going to have to take one of those FCS if they want to be viewed by the committee. So like if you get to the end of the season, you're 12 and0 say but you play two FCS teams, they're not going to count that other one towards your Well, can we can is it too late to get back in the Notre Dame contract? That's what I'm saying.

I'd love it. So it incentivizes you. You actually want to play those big time non-conference games because it helps you because there's way more margin for error. There's going to be a bunch of three loss teams in it now. It's not going to hurt you. It's only going to help you if you win those games.

Yeah. Yeah. And it won't like mean if you lose two, you lose three, you're totally toasted. Correct. Which I think is a good thing. And it sucks about the conference championships.

That sucks. But like do you think that we'll have, you know, two undefeated teams that haven't played each other and maybe don't have common opponents in conference and have to pick a winner? Yes. Like by a vote? 100%. I think so.

Or I don't know. They have several different tiebreers, but there's too many teams in the big there's 18 teams in the Big 10. like it'll probably go to like margin of victory. Ohio State and Oregon schedules are like marketkedly tougher than UCLA and IU's this year, right? I mean, they just are. So, I wonder I hope it's not too late.

That would be sick to get Bloomington and Southbend get IU. I think they should get I think they should get back on the schedule for sure. But like I I mean Haye's already in the barn. I keep saying that cuz Jonathan Taylor says that all the time. Hayes in the barn. Hay's in the barn now.

Well, speaking of that, is he leaving? Well, by the time you're listening to this, maybe. I mean, it's all gonna go down tomorrow. I mean, Monday came and went. Nothing happened. Is tomorrow the trade deadline?

Tomorrow at four o'clock. Okay. So, by the time this comes out, he might be gone. But at the end of the day, isn't he under contract for a couple more years? Yeah, he's through 2028. So, they don't have to rush it.

Yeah. But like my whole thing is, sure, could you trade him after the season? But I think you get more value now because a contender wants to benefit now. Who are the favorites? like the Packers, the Vikings, the Broncos, the Giants apparently offered a second and a fifth and the Colts said no and then they pulled the offer, but John Harbaugh said a lot can happen between now and the trade deadlines. Why did I feel like the Giants have I would have accepted the second and fifth personally.

Like I don't know what else you're expecting and then a report came out last night that the Colts are just going to take best offer available. And I don't even think this is the biggest story. I mean Josh DS the way he's handled this situation. Did you see his clip? Uh I didn't Stephen Holder. So, I'm standing beside Josh DS in the locker room and I was am I I was like, "All right, you got to ask him.

Does he want to be here? Does he want to be here?" So, I'm waiting. You're hyping yourself. It's like Yeah. It's like you got to wait and just like pick your spots.

So, James Boyd to the Athletic ask him about the trade deadline. He's like, you know, if they're going to trade me, they'll trade me. If they don't, they don't. He was like down in the dumps because he played terribly and he's played terribly the last two weeks since he requested this trade. So, Stephen asked him something about, you know, do you think you would you have any regrets about how you handled this? and he answered something and Steven just caught him off guard.

He's like, "Do you want to be here?" And he's like, "You know," and then he paused for what felt like an eternity. And then he starts smiling and he goes, "You're funny for that." to Steven and then he's like, "You know, if they want to trade me, they'll trade me and if they keep me, I'll be here." It was just the way he's handled this whole situation, which is like surprising because I kind of thought that he was a homie. Everybody was all for Josh Downs.

They're like, "Contract season, he's going to have a thousand yards. He's the man." And then he requests a trade and then just the body language has been terrible. I mean, remember the fumble against the Jaguars? He like just he just like hopped away from the ball. Didn't try to get on it.

And then he had a crucial drop against the Cowboys. I mean, I was tuned out of that game. I'm going be honest with you. Like these Colts games now, they're just they're just a slog to get through. And like you it's a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. You just like did you does anyone think they were going to hold on and win that game?

No. I mean like that's where we're at right now. And like it you'd say like you don't want him to win the game, but it's like you don't have a pick to losses don't even help you. I mean what say this goes really poorly and like if you trade Jonathan Taylor and Josh Down. Heck Daniel Jones is getting circulated now. Although they said maybe not anymore, but you could get the number one like Yeah, it would suck if the Jets got the number one pick because of you, but at least you'd have the number one pick in the second round.

It was basically a first. So you get a 33rd. Yeah. Like it's not all bad. If you could get if you could come out of this with two twos, two threes, and two fours in the 2027 draft, you know, a prospective GM might be like, "You know what? I can make this I can make this better."

All right. And I don't know. We'll see. But that's talking Colts. All right. Do you have a good weekend, buddy?

Dude, great weekend. I had a sporty weekend again, Dom. Dude, that's what we do. Well, one, uh, yeah, lifelong dream. Really? Uh, I got to Well, Friday and I'll start there.

I went to the Chitaard Danville game. Good to see you. I cannot wait to get into that later in the show. It is incredible. It's hard. We had a great time, man.

We have a great time there. Then I woke up Saturday morning bright and early and I headed out to the Cathedral of Speed, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Oh, I didn't know this. To take some hot laps in the two-seater. Are you serious? Yeah.

Wait, what? What was the occasion? Why did you do that? My boy Locky Hughes was an Indian X driver, indie car driver. Uh yeah, he had some extra spots and he drives the two-seaters. But what were they doing out there?

They're just doing the Indie car experience. No. Oh, okay. Dude, there was like 150 people that had like they had like purchased tickets and he said they had some extra spots. So, I get to go out there. I get in the fire suit and the helmet and I get in the two-seater.

Dude, how was it? I've never been on one. It's like a bucket. They they've offered me like three times and I haven't been able to cuz I've been like working and stuff. I I have to. Dude, it's insane.

Honestly, who was driving you? Locky. Oh, Locky Hughes. Uh, again, he is an Indie X driver um from last season. I met him at a wedding at Evan Boore's wedding. Uh, great guy.

A year ago, Bo family. Great. Yeah. Great people. I met them at this wedding. I met Locky at this wedding.

He's Australian. And good day, mate. Good day, mate. And he said, "Mate, you want to come and rip some hot laps in the two-seater?" And I said, "Heck yeah, bro." They suit me up.

I get the helmet the whole nine yards. I get in there, dude. And I felt like they said, "All right, good to go." And he just punched the accelerator. Were you Did your just stomach drop? My stomach was in my toes.

Yeah. It was insane. He said, "We're like cruising around 180." Oh my goodness, dude. Which is nothing for them. Which is nothing for them, but it was everything for me.

I was like I wasn't scared because I was like, "It's in Lackey and Jesus's hands right now." But it was insane, dude. Uh I felt like we were going into the wall or the grass every time. I don't know how he does. Dude, my whole body is getting like my back kind of hurts from it. Yeah.

And I don't know how they fight the G-force. It was nuts, dude. I don't know how they do it. People don't understand, dude. I did two and half laps or whatever it was. And we It just feels like you're going to slide out into the wall and because of the downforce on the car, it doesn't.

And it was nuts, dude. When they put the boost on the cars for qualifying, I mean, average lap speeds are 235. Think of that. Average, dude. It's nuts. And you were going 180.

I was going 180 and I it was so I could not stop smiling. I was like, "This is so fun." It was iconic. That's awesome that you did that. I left the Speedway and I headed down to Gamebridge Fieldhouse for the volleyball state finals. All right.

So, how'd they go? So, I was able to catch the 1A game and I got to uh be part of presenting the mental attitude award. Oh, nice. Uh for the 1A. So, it was Lutheran in Rosville. Okay.

and Lutheran, dude, they are really good at volleyball. Really? They have a a hitter that was nuts. She's 6'2 and she could smack the ball. Number 18. Um, so good, dude.

But then I believe her name was Bridget Gokenau wins the uh, shout out from Rosville wins the mental attitude award. Awesome. So, how many classes are there in volleyball? Four. Okay. So, who who were the other team?

I want to make sure I get this right. So, we got Indie Lutheran 1A state champs and dynasty sounds like I will say shout out to Bridget Gokenau. She win she won the mental attitude award for 1A. It was awesome. Uh they brought her parents down. She has a $1,000 scholarship.

It was great. Shout out to our friends at Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance. Sure. Then, um checking the stats there. Benton Central. So, Lutheran won three in three sets.

Wow. So, first three. Then, Benton Central won 3-1 and they be the Bison become state champions. Who they beat? They beat Heritage Christian and they had these green and yellow sequin jackets. A bunch of the fans did.

Oh. Oh, dude. They were stunning. Okay. It was awesome. Betton Central in the 3A.

Tri West takes down West Noble 3-1. Nice. West Noble. Okay. And then uh Carol out of Fort Wayne, I think has like Yeah. six division one or eight division.

They have an an insane amount of division one talent. I saw was this like three in a row or more than three? I don't know. A lot. Um it was great. They win over Center Grove uh 3-1 as well.

So congrats to all the ladies that won uh volleyball state titles. Gamebridge Fieldhouse, I think this was the second year they've hosted it there. It's typically not been in Gamebridge. And where was it? Uh I think it was in Muny. Oh, that checks out.

Uh but it was an awesome environment, great experience. You know, they Well, Gamebridge is hard to beat, but if they were hurting for places, Fischer's Event Center would be really Yeah, that's where they're hosting the Big 10 tournament. I know. I'm gonna go wait soon. Like this week. It might be this.

Yeah, might be today. And this is the inaugural Big 10 volleyball tournament. They've never hosted an in like an end of season tournament like this. Okay. So, go a gone is the Big 10 football championship, but hello to the Big 10 volleyball tournament. And where else would they host it than the greatest sports city host city on We're going to get Indieg Ignite on soon.

Yep. Like volleyball in this state is exploding. Volleyball everywhere is exploding. So, anyway, well, that's an awesome weekend, buddy. Yes, sir. Uh Dom, did you have a good weekend?

I did. You know, thanks for asking. I did have a good weekend. I was I was at Shitard Danville entire game and you came out for the second half and we'll we'll get into that. Chitaard is a buzzsaw. That's why I picked them as my state champion.

Yeah. Wait, people forget we picked them. People forget they we both picked them as our state champion. I feel like that's lost in the shuffle. Uh Saturday my lovely wife and I went to Brown County and got ooey gooey cinnamon rolls which are um the story of that place is awesome. The family that moved from Minnesota.

Yes. Yeah. cuz she had a dream. Yes. Yeah. It's pretty sweet.

Uh I think you've already detailed it, but it's it's awesome. We waited in line for an hour, but it was awesome, dude. They're so worth it. Totally worth it. Uh got a sweet breakfast sandwich as well. Then we walked around Brown County State Park.

We walked around town did the little downtown area in Nashville. Then Brown County State Park, which is one of my favorite places in the fall. And Dom, it was beautiful. Peak foliage. Peak foliage. I mean, they were a little bare.

I bet I I bet we missed peak by about 2 weeks, 3 weeks, but the weather was immaculate. Dom, were you guys celebrating anything? Well, Spang, I'm happy you asked. Uh, we I always enjoy hanging out with my wife cuz she's the best, but she is 22 weeks pregnant. Oh, we've got a young Get in sports. The heir to the Get In Sports throne is currently growing and it's a boy.

And it's a boy. Little Monan Miranda. Little Marcus Freeman Miranda. Oh, little Don Mattingly Miranda. I I will Hey, there you go. I will say I am very excited, dude.

Congrats, Dom. Thanks, buddy. Uh, the loyal listeners were going to love this part. They just had to listen to us recap our whole weekend before we got into high school football. But I hope it was worth for everyone that listens that far in. Um, I hope it was worth it because, uh, we're happy for our buddy Dar.

Thanks. It's, uh, Aby's been a trooper. She's the best and she's handling this very, very well. We're excited. We're nervous. It's our first.

So, first boy, my brother's I'm the middle of three boys. My older brother has two daughters. My younger brother has two daughters. So, someone had to carry on the family name. The middle child. Why not be the middle child?

But yeah, I got some I uh my car's in the shop right now and has been for a while. It's a long story. I don't want to get into it, but I was driving the Operation football truck and a lot of people noticed, said, "What's up?" And uh this these group of high schoolers were walking past at the state park and they're like, "Oh, it's the Tik Tok guy. Tik Tok guy." And I was like, "This is this is crazy.

We love that for you." I know. It was fun. Anyway, but we had fun and then we explored Columbus, Indiana. Yeah. Which was I've never been.

Great place. I went by Columbus North and Columbus East. Yep. The Olympians have a cool setup. Very cool setup. Did you get to check out like the downtown area?

Yes, dude. Cumins. Yeah. Cumins is integrated enough. I just interviewed one of the like head honchos at Cummins episode on Get In coming out soon. Nice.

It was awesome, dude. He has 11,000 people that report to him. Really? 11,000. That makes me sweaty just thinking about it. It's crazy what they're doing at Cummins.

The architecture is very cool. Again, it was a beautiful fall day. It was a great weekend. And then I watched Notre Dame do me a solid and get that dub. So, it was a great weekend. Spang, we had 48 games played, which is sad to say, dwindling.

Does that mean that this week we're going to have 24 games? I think that's what that means. Checks out. It just like splits it in half. Zero overtime games. We did not have the same amount of crazy finishes that we did a week ago.

No. Um, the widest margin of victory, which this should start dwindling. You think the games are going to get more competitive? Uh, 57. Brownstown Central beat Switzerland County uh 63-6. I think there was another pretty big margin.

Well, keep the eye your eye on the Braves. Okay, 15 unbeaten teams left. I'll start with a huge upset. First off, there was a streak broken. Okay, so previously the Gophers of Clinton Prairie had lost 10 straight in a row to LCC. Now, this is nuts because it took Clinton Prairie 63 years to win a sectional title in the sport of football.

Really? 63 years. This is their first ever football sectional title. Clinton Prairie and they make his huge upsets the whole way through. Clinton Prairie wasn't supposed to beat Carol out of Florida. You're absolutely right, dude.

They've had an absolute crazy run. That'd be in the 1A. Correct. That is correct. So they in sectional they beat Carol who came into that game seven and two and was rolling and then they beat North White and then what did they do this past week, Spang? They took down Lafayette Central Catholic.

That's a big win, dude. Who's this coach? Who's the Tell me about the Gophers, man. Coach Kurt's got these boys rolling. His fifth year at the school there. He's 27 and 26.

He came over from it looks like Crawford'sville. Dang. Um, really good stuff from Clinton Prairie. The Gophers getting it done over LCC. And I know LCC came into the game five and six, but they're still Lafayette Central Catholic, okay? Like they got the the name brand and everything, dude.

So big win for the Clinton Prairie. No doubt about it. No way, man. I'm like reading this. Shout out to the Clinton County Daily News. They wrote an excellent story, great write up all about uh the team, the Gophers.

So, Clinton Prairie had lost 10 straight to LCC. Mhm. And they had never won a sectional title. Wow. Congrats. That's what it's all about this time of year.

What was the final score? I think it was a close game. 2721 it looks like. Let's talk about a tough loss for our guy Clay Manoring. Oh, we were all aboard the Lewis Cass train. We were all aboard.

Uh the the ever elusive sectional title continues. Y uh to evade the Kings of Lewis Cass. But that Oak Hill team, weren't they like five and five or something? Okay. I'm happy you said that because Oakill came into sectional play four and five. They beat Seagar, they beat Deli, and they beat Lewis Cass.

What was the final score there? 4933. So dang. All right. Oil. Manoring's going to get How many years has coaches been there for a long time at Oill?

I believe it was like his 28th season. Gee whiz. Bud Osman. Bud Osman has been there since 99. Dang. That he does have one lone sectional title.

Make it two. Make it two. Doubled it, baby. So, oh, they got lapel and Oh, boy. You know, Spangle loves lapel, dude. Lapel opened my eyeballs this week, let me tell you.

Oh, who they playing? Hagerstown, remember? We'll get to it, Dom. All right, those are a few of the headlines that really stuck out to me. Kind of playing small wall there, but I want to know what were the scores that stuck out to you. Holy cow, there were a lot.

Let's let's get into it. Let's talk about them, Spang. First of all, this was the game of the week. We'll start in the highest classes go down. Nothing crazy in 6A in my opinion. Really stuck out to me.

Kind of went chalk. Uh I thought that Caramel looked a little bit like they had already won their state title when they beat Westfield. Little hangover. They won 1714 against HSC. Uh that I'm assuming they play in the regular season. Uh, great question.

So, Caramel didn't score in the second half or at least score a touchdown in the second half. It was uh very much an eek it out type of victory. They did not play HSC in the regular season. HSC got a lot better as the season went. I just want to say like a big win over Franklin Central down the stretch of the season. Beat Fisers again in sectional play and kept and they hung around 1714.

And then I mean Brownsburg's ridiculous. They they beat Ben Davis all up and down the field. Brandon Sharp, career touchdowns leader at Brownsburg, guys. Rewriting the record books. Hey, congrats to Mr. Sharp.

I will say, Dom, did you see the Ben Davis players warming up before the game with those shirts on? And it was cold, too. It was frigid. And that's the same thing Tennessee did at Ohio State in the first year of the college football playoff, the 12 team, and they got rolled. And Ben Davis did it, and you put yourself at risk when you do stuff like that. And they got rolled.

I Hey, dude, you got to shake it up. Hey, I don't I don't mind. You're going out there. You're You might be the Giants and the mascot, but you're going out there to face the Giants. You need you need to be awake and nothing says I'm awake like warming up for the entire game with no shirt on. It was cold Friday night.

Dude, it was chilly. It was chilly. Anyway, this was our game of the night. 5A top two teams. And it lived up to the billing. Cathedral gets it done 24-21.

So, the Irish got out to a 17- nothing lead. But then here come Was it 17 nothing? 17 nothing. Here comes New Pal. 14 unanswered. 1714.

Was that to start the second half in the blink of an eye? Yes. So then Cathedral goes up 24-4. New Pal scores with 11 seconds left to make it 24-21. They onside kick. Don't get it.

Cathedral slams the door shut. Impressive game. I had never been to Arsenal Tech football field, which was awesome. Which I'm told was built uh when the Super Bowl was hosted here as like a an additional practice facility. Really cool. I don't know if that's that's real, but that's what I was told.

I had never been there. I'd been to Tech numerous times, but just never on the football field. Oh, no. Here's what it is. Okay, so with every Super Bowl, it's their job to do a legacy project in the host city. Got it.

So, they do something um they like put some money together and one of the legacy projects around our Super Bowl was uh Arsenal Tech received uh $1. 3 million in stadium upgrades as part of the community legacy projects for Super Bowl. We have 46. X LVI. That would be Super Bowl 46. Nice.

Well done. Super Bowl 46. Uh I'm pretty sure cuz L's 50, the X is behind. Yeah. So you go down to 40, then you go up six. Yeah.

Yeah. Look at us. Do they still teach that in school? Roman numerals. That's pretty good, dude. I know, right?

46. Come on. Uh but it was a really cool environment. Uh Xavier Dangerfield 114 rushing yards. Evan Johnson had 99 receiving yards, two Tutties, and the ultimate game winner, if you want to say that to put it out of reach. Um, New Pal, awesome season.

Cathedral, you know, New Pal beat Cathedral in the sectional last year and so Cathedral gets right. Um, and Kaden Nelson after the game we interviewed him said, "We're the cream of the crop in class 5A. We're taking this thing to state." Whoa. Yeah, baby. Well, that was their first time winning a sectional in three years.

Yeah, that is correct. Which I feel like is a long time for Cathedral and program win number 800. 800 wins for the Do you think that's number one in Indiana? From what I'm seeing, this would be number one in program wins in the state of Indiana. Yeah. Wow.

So, anyway, uh huge win for Cathedral big time. Um they have playing field this week in the regional. Okay. Sticking in 5A. This one was interesting. Spangle fourth ranked Warsaw, ninth ranked Snyder.

Rematch of the first game of the year. Remember Warsaw won 3330. Defensive battle. Fort Wayne Snder went into the fourth up 3 nothing. Dude, then Warsaw scores on a 20-yard TD on fourth and one to go up 73. Forced a fumble on the ensuing possession.

Scored again. Ball game. Ball game for Bart Curtis and the boys. Warsaw's only third sectional in school history. All three under Bart Curtis. I mean, dude, I will say they were in this they were in 6A for too long, a long time.

And they just were not that level of team. The the the enrollment said 6A. the the quality did not succeed. And that's no fault. I mean, look, I mean, pen I mean, you see even Penn and Crown Point struggle when they get down here cuz most I mean, how many what 80% of the 6A schools are in Indianapolis, right? I mean, I feel like Yeah, something like that.

I mean, we we named I think there's 34 of them and I would say Yeah, there's probably cuz Columbus North and Jeffersonville are the only two 6A schools south of Indie, I think. Chew on that for a second. Greg Rickstro told me that. Yeah, two there. And then you'd have, was it Marville? Well, Center Grove is technically south of Indie, but Okay.

South of like uh what did he say? He said the donut counties. Yes, that's what he said. Yeah. Yeah. Those two down there.

And then you have Carol. Yep. Pen, Crown Point, Marville, Homestead. Are they five? Yeah. Yeah.

No, Homestead six, I think. So, that's seven of the 34. Yeah, there might be one more. That is a Lafayette school or no? No, I think they're 5A at the biggest. Wow, look at that.

So, that's pretty interesting. So that would be 20 26 of 34 26 something like Yep. 26 of 34 are in central Indiana. So yeah, anyway, so Warsaw gets it done 143. Uh Warsaw, this is a game I'm really looking forward to because especially because of our man Clayton Richard. I mean, I got Bart Curtis on one shoulder, Clayton Richard on the other shoulder.

Who's going to win? Warsaw, Lafayette, Jeff? We'll see. Uh, Castle keeps it rolling. 2814 over Evansville North. Castle's got it going on, dude.

They have gotten they've caught fire. They've caught fire and they got Bloomington South. Oh, I cannot wait until matchups we're looking forward to because it's it's almost every single game at this point. It's incredible. Top ranked in class 4A Fort Wayne Dwinganger 35-4 over East Noble. East Noble fantastic season, but Dwanganger's just different.

They got they got their eyes set on a state repeat. I mean, I thought it'd be close. And I feel like it was for a hot sec, but that's just a brutal sectional. Dwinger and East Noble. And I mean, and I think that uh I mean, Dwanger is definitely battle tested. Yeah, Dwinger, remember they beat Ronali, which is aging beautifully.

Um in in triple overtime, the first game of the year, they lost to Carol by 20, but then they beat, you know, Fort Wayne North to Calvin East Noble, and then they got Muny Central. Dude, what dude? Muny Central. Are we talking about that now? Yeah, we we'll uh hop down here. Muny Central beats an unbeaten ranked Logan'sport team 3127.

I don't know. I'm not sure if this was like a last second deal. I don't know. Might want to do some recon. But my Central has the juice right now and they're flying way under the radar. Their only losses this year are to Bloomington South, Lafayette Jeff, and Yorktown who they beat in the sectional on that missed field goal.

we detailed last week. Now they get Dwanganger. But man, we were on the berries this year. Muny Central 31-27 over Loganport. Dude, the Berries did have a great season. Magical season.

That was their first loss. Dude, that is tough. So Kyle Bares is in his second year at the school at Muny Central. He's 15-8. They've won three in a row. Crazy games throughout sectional.

And yeah, I I would say they're pretty battle tested. like they they they're getting it done when they need to get it done. They avenge that Yorktown loss. They lost to Jeff by F or 25, but that's a 5A school. And we'll see. I mean, my Central's got the magic, but Dwanganger Dwanger's been here before, Spang.

So, we shall see. Look at this. Okay, so my Central leads 31-27 with 15 seconds to play. Logan Sports at Yep. at midfield. Alone in the back field is Jones.

He takes the snap. air mails it again down over the middle. It's tipped up and it's intercepted. It's intercepted by the Bearcats. The Bearcats are hot, man. Bearcats are hot.

Loganport falls 31-27. And now my Central's got Danger. So, we shall see. Okay, it's time. So, you might recall last week I said that Bishop Chitaard is my state champion. State champion.

It's in writing. I think Chitard's got it going on. However, I felt the magic with Danville. I was like, man, they're unbeaten. This is a humongous game for them. And to be fair, like Chitaard had been tested the past two weeks.

They again, they were just like kind of ekking it out. I was like Garen and then against uh Northview. Yes. So, and Northview got dogwalked by South Putham. So, I'm like, huh, that's interesting. We got an undefeated Danville team.

Their community is jacked up. You know, they think that they think I'm a Danville hater. I'm certainly not a Danville hater. Well, and then earlier this year, there's a whole storyline. Earlier this year, I'm told that I wasn't given the proper respect to Danville. So, I'm like, you know what?

I have Chitaard as my state champ, but let's make a play here. Well, I was wrong. I was dead wrong. 41 to8. And Spangle, why don't you tell the people what happened after the game? Uh, so we're at the Chitaard Danville game and let it be known, I've been a part of the Shitaard community for long time, a long time now.

And I knew, again, I have them circled. I'm a Shitard guy. I said, you know what, the Trojans, they're going to get the job done. They got it going on. After the game, dude, it was they were like heat seeeking missiles. I stayed the whole game because I wanted to get the trophy celebration one way or the other.

and he walks to get to record to video the trophy celebration. He takes two steps towards Chitard. First thing they say, "Give me Danville. Give me Danville." Uh, well, I mean, I think it was Julio. Like, they were all over.

Oh, they were in my grill, dude. I got a few texts saying, "Yo, you might need to find a new co-host." Maddox. He says, "Hey, you might have to fire your boy because he said, "Give me Danville." Chitaard, you had your best game this postseason. You looked phenomenal.

Harrison Odum. Okay. Cam Harden two touchdowns through the air. Uh Jagger Gry was hitting people. Yeah. Danny Adams was in prime form.

Cam looked really good. 41 to8 Chitaard gets it done. And I deserve to wear this. I will say I will say you might be the fire that they needed. You know what? Bulletin B board material.

Look, if I if I give you if I give you a little extra pep, chitaard, I'm all about it because again, you're my state champ, baby. I always believe in the Trojans. Give me Chitard. There we go. And when we get to matchups we're looking forward to, Dom, you're going to have to put your money where your mouth is on that one. Oh, 100%.

100%. Roni and Chitaard rematch. Dude, one thing I will say though, I love it. One, Dom and I, we got to have thick skin. Hey, look, I made a pick. I was wrong.

And I'm appreciate all you for watching and listening. That's true. And I will say like that is the fun part about this is I mean it's high school sports. We love it. We're so excited to have competitive games be in the thing. Like, it's so fun.

Like, isn't it fun to have a little bit of I I was smiling ear to ear. Julio was not messing around. He was not happy with me. But that's all right, dude. They played a great game. You guys looked awesome.

They looked really good. They looked really, really good. 4A is an absolute beast of a class this year. And Chitaard good as shot as anyone to win state again. State champ. I got you as my state champ.

Shitar gets it done 41 to8. All right, let's move along. That was fun. Uh, okay. 3A. This was interesting.

Spang. Two games stuck out to me. Evansville Memorial just keeps getting it done. 28-7 over Modern Day. Memorial's a buzzsaw. Indian Creek awaits in a battle of unbeatens in the regional final.

We shall see what happens. And uh, while when we get to matchups, we're looking forward to maybe some personnel changes there for Evansville Memorial. We got the scoop. I will say I saw it on Instagram, man. Um, they had a stud on defense go down. Uh he posted about it.

I think it's Grayson Carter. Grayson Carter. Uh absolute stud. I believe he so he posted on Instagram. Public knowledge he toss ACL. Yeah.

But he did it early in the game. Scoop and score uh on a torn ACL. He scored. Yeah. And I think he got an interception. What a way to go out, dude.

Braced it up. Braced up the knee. Adrenaline just running. And he said, "No, dude. We're going to win this game." That is.

But the other piece that's interesting, I'm pretty sure his backup is his little brother. Yes. So, we're we're we we lose Grayson Carter, but we throw another Carter in there. We get the Young Carter. We got the Carter, too. Okay.

Isn't that an album? Yeah. That's the second time you've said that. Yeah. Come on now. Uh, so John Hurley's bunch.

Unbelievable. I I You have to get the state for me, Evans Memorial. No pressure, cuz I got to watch you play. I have to. And I don't know if I'm going to get the chance. We'll probably put you on 13 this week since you're playing Indian Creek, but so I'm excited for that.

Yeah, buddy. But uh hey, and then this one, Lawrenceburg gets it done over Batesville 2814. We man, our hearts said Batesville. Our hearts said Batesville and it was tied up at 14 in the second half. And the Tigers closed the door again. Lawrenburg's only loss this year as the East Central first game of the year.

So they've rattled off, you know, 10 11 straight. Uh Tigers just too much in this one. Dude, the Tigers, they have a cool little stadium, too. Uh I drove past it the other day when I was down in Lawrenburg. It's like right off the river. I mean, it's probably not that close to the river, but like it's sunk down in the ground.

Like, it's a bowl. It looks really, really cool. Very nice. Lawrenceburg's got it going on. I We, you know, we've hinted at Lawrenburg this year. Really good stuff.

Let's see. Have they won state? No, but they've gotten to state twice under Ryan Kigga. So, really, really good stuff. I'm seeing double digit wins all over the place. So, like they are perennially in the mix.

And 3A is going to be interesting. But those are my two 3A's. Let's wrap it up here with 2A and 1A. Okay. Eastern Hancock just opened my eyeballs. Yes.

Like they their huge win this year was lapel at home. Indie Lutheran comes in and the Royals win 39-6. I knew they were good, but beating Lutheran by 33, that's impressive. Blake Whittington, Matt Hunt, Luke Manship, Hayden Jackson, the special teams specialist, did his best Devin Hester impression the other night. 70 yard return set him up at the two. Whittington punched it in.

Matt Hunt and Luke Manship hooked up twice for touchdowns, maybe more. That's just what we showed on 13. 39 to6 Eastern Hancock gets it done. Who do they draw? Here's your prize. South Putham.

That is going to be I think that is South Putham's first legitimate legitimate test is Easter Hancock. I know Cascade was good. is no disrespect to Cascade, but Easter Hancock is playing a serious level of ball right now. I mean, but here's the thing, dude. I I don't know. I've heard for both sides.

One, we love South Butt. Yeah. But like the the game that we kind of like circle, obviously Cascade, but also that Northview game. Yeah. Northview ends up being a good team. I mean, they lost by only seven to Sita.

Okay. Northview's good. Northview is good. So, I think that we're in for something here. I am I'll be curious to see how Eastern Hancock handles themselves against the uh the South cuz cuz again, let's say you go in and you beat South Butt. Here's Brownstown Central more than likely.

Yeah, correct. Like they're like it's there's no easy road to Lucas Oil and Eastern Hancock's going to have their hands full going forward. Yeah, I'm I'm excited to talk about that a little more later. And then uh I do have to say though, yes, talk. So, one thing that I will say that I loved about Lutheran. So, their volleyball team has the opening game Saturday morning.

Okay. And those guys go out and play on Friday night. The student section was immaculate for Lutheran. That's awesome. And those guys all backed it in. They were giving some love.

One guy said I was Don Miranda. Oh. So, that was nice of him to He thought I was Is that a compliment for you? No, I think you were you were like, "Oh, come on." I was like, "Hey, get my name right, dude." But uh it was they were rowdy, dude.

They had really good chance like you know their their uh their volleyball team was out there going crazy. They were going crazy in the student section. Wild move. Wild move. Uh kids are crazy. Like kids are just wild and so fun and free.

So Lutheran wins three uh like three-0. Yeah. And one of the kids in the student section removes his belt and just starts getting the belt. Dude, I was the old Michael Irvin, dude. The Michael. It was I was like, "Oh my gosh, dude.

These guys, they all packed the stands, though. It was awesome to see the Lutheran faithful out there uh bringing the juice for their volleyball team as they bring home a state title. That's awesome. It's bigger than one. It's bigger than one." So, that that's after a tough loss, too.

Yeah, that's impressive. That's good stuff, guys. Uh, lapel beats Hagerstown. Spang, we we both predicted this game. Do you remember? I did.

Which side did you predict though? Uh, so I predicted Hagerstown would win 26-22. Spangle said Lapel would win 35-7. Try 48 nothing. What did I say? What was my Lapel was up 42 nothing, I think, at half.

And I said 3517. Yeah. And you've been on Man, I was I was drinking the Hagerstown Kool-Aid for sure. because it was a great story, you know. Great story, dude. Sometimes I'm a sucker for a story.

Dom is an he with his heart. He I'm a journalist. Big Jay, I do. I'm impulsive. Just ask Danville. I did say 3517 and either I think LeBel is just really good.

Yes, their only loss is to Eastern Hancock and Eastern Hancock is now on the other side of the bracket. I know. What a fun rematch cuz that was a great football game. Yeah. Appar I think somebody told me lapel was missing some guys during that game. Oh I I think I had a conversation at Bread Works in Green Castle with a guy that told me that.

Oh yeah. Anyway, you never know where the sources are going to come from. I know it's crazy. Uh and then in 1A North Judson beats West Central 35 to8. And then this one man we our hearts have been with Casten all year. Pioneer is just a different beast but it was 2114.

Pioneer gets it done over Casten. Okay Spang. So, co coach Ol olich has been messaging me on Facebook. Great guy. I sorry, coach, if you're listening, I forgot to respond to you. Uh, last week when you gave me some stats, so I want to retroactively say this.

Last week when Casten won, they had 450 rushing yards. Ashton Ber had 210 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and a 36 yard receiving touchdown, and seven tackles, a sack, and a force fumble for a defensive TD. So Ashton Boyer should have been our player of the week last week. Um, coach Olarick, great great guy. But Casten loses this one 214. And this was the play that did it for Pioneer with just under three minutes to go.

Listen to this. Yeah, I think we could do it. Sweep out to Ryan. I want to see Ryan finish this game here. He's going to get out. He's got a three, four, five.

Shiloh Ryan to the house. That is special. Wait, tackled. You got to hear this call one last time. Yeah, let it play all the way through. These guys are awesome.

Yeah, I think we could do it. Sweep out to Ryan. I want to see Ryan finish this game here. He's going to get outside. He's got a first down. He's still going.

He's pulling him. He's got one more. And he did it, folks. That is special, dude. The guys on the call. Shiloh Ry and the fireworks are going off.

I knew Shiloh Ry had one in Shiloh we trust. In Shiloh we trust. He goes I want to see Shiloh Ride finish the game right here. And then he breaks five tackles, dude. And I love the color guys just like oh and Shiloh we trust. Okay, so they beat Pioneer beat Casten the first time at Casten 35-7 and again it was tied 1414 with 255 to go.

Pioneer gets it done. I mean that was a close football game. Yeah, absolutely. Uh I do want to say I believe this is the best or one of the best probably the best season in casting football history. I think that's so I want to just give some love to the casting comments. They've been faithful all year long.

Yes, they were. I mean, and to be in that game, you're tied up. You got 3 minutes left. You got Pioneer, a perennial powerhouse that you've probably never I mean, never been that close to beating up, at least in my memory of the last decade of following like North Central 1A football. Yeah. Uh so, just all love to Casten.

Uh an incredible year for them. Oh, I'm sad we won't get to watch big old Tucker Woliver. I know. But Coach Olick, appreciate you listening and commenting on our show. Uh, I will pass along your message to Spang after the show here because it's been very very cool. Um, little small town.

Actually, I'll just read it to you right now. Yeah. All right. Can you get Can you get this to Nate? I will have a small town event for you to cover. I've been following your podcast.

I coach a cast and we had a tough loss last weekend. I also run the lawnmower race in my hometown. Let me know if you'd be interested in covering it. Gave gave his cell phone number which I'll keep private. If you would rather contact me that way, go Tigers bell game this week. Let's go, coach.

Coach Olick, you're the man. Appreciate you, dude. How long has he been there? He has been there 24 years. Okay. And this is for sure their best season.

Well, okay. Wait, I I I forgot there was I've seen an eight and four and 8 and three. They're in 2011, 2012. They were nine and three this year in the sectional title game. Yeah. No se How any sectional championships?

None. Okay. So, coach, I didn't want that to be uh I didn't want that to be disrespectful by saying it was like for sure your best season. There were definitely some good ones in there in the 2010s, but uh I mean, incredible year. Good for coach and good for sticking through it. Like there were a few years there.

It's like you come off uh what you're 2012, you go eight and three and then you have like three and eight, two and nine, one and nine, 0 and 10 and 22. Like I I remember being there and like casting was a game that we won a lot and so I just know the ups and downs and small towns need loyal dedicated coaches like that to do it for over two decades. So, shout out to you, coach. Preach. Um, oh, wait, no, he came back. Yeah, I was just going to say I noticed that right as you were talking.

It looks like it it cut off in 2014 and then he picks it back up in 2022. So, let me go to the old recent seasons tab. And yes, it looks like Will Porter was there for one season. Tony Sloum, two seasons, Tony Slokum, Brady Jones kind of filled the gap there. So, three coaches. So Olri says, "Look, I'll come back, baby.

Appreciate you." Wow. Love that, man. Thank you for listening. Uh Dom, there is another there's two more games we need to cover. Okay.

There's one more game in the three I want to talk about, and I feel like they've kind of been flying under the radar. Not on this program. Not on this program. We've been talking about the undefeated Tigers all year. The Bluffton Tigers are really good, man. They get the job done over Heritage 25-7.

Yes. After, again, we talked about it. They had never they hadn't played Norwell in like 20 years. Smoke them 5414. They get the job done 25-7 over Heritage. And now there's a game I might want to circle here, Dom, in the 3A.

Yeah. They're going to have a date on Friday with one of the hottest teams in the state of Indiana, and that is the Hamilton Heights Huskies. Yep. So, I mean, Bluffton Tigers, you have our I mean, you've had our attention most of the season. It is. It's Brett Conungle's best year.

He's won sectional twice, but they're undefeated. I mean, they've never been undefeated this late in the season. They're 12-0. Okay. Hamilton Heights, like you mentioned, Spang, hottest team in the state, arguably. They've won nine straight games.

They beat West Lafayette 34-28. Shout out to West Lafayette, though. Okay. Shane Fry's bunch. Really impressive end to the season. They lost their first five games, but won four of their last seven.

So, I mean, like, that's how you that's how you do it. That's a tale of and Go ahead. Sorry. That's a tale of schedules. Yes, West Lafayette plays a good schedule. Hamilton Heights plays a really good schedule.

They lost They lost to Hamilton Heights 380 last time they played. It's within six. And I heard that Hamilton Heights late score. They missed the PAT and West Lafayette's driving but then couldn't get it done. So, hey, really good stuff. Thank you for mentioning Bluton.

Big win over Heritage. I'm circling that game. Okay. Uh I'm gonna give a score prediction. Okay, we're just we're just hopping right into it. No, I just want to do for this one because I I just had it circled on my list and I'm gonna say and I hope I don't go back to regret this and end up like you.

Yeah, you don't want a bag over your head. Give me Danville. Give me Bluffton 2824. I like it. I like it. Jot that down.

28-24. Bluffton. All right, Spang. Those are scores that stuck out. A lengthy segment yet again. Why don't we hear from our friends at Ascend Football?

Hey, let's go through our bracket spang. I gotta tell you, hey, 6A and 5A, we're looking pretty good right here. One. Okay, so I think that the numbers were 75ish uh road on the pickups. Hey, Spangle and I are both top 10, by the way. Spangle's number two, dude.

Okay, so there were 75 brackets submitted this season. And first off, whoever Daniel B is from Sheridan, he's three points out ahead of me. And I want to pass this guy. Can you look at his brackets? Yeah. see if there's any crazy differences.

Um, just in state champions, maybe. Uh, he had Brownsburg over Westfield. Okay. He had Cathedral over Jeff in state. In state, love that. He has Chitard over Bishop Dwanganger.

He has Memorial over Andrean. A lot of similarities there. He has Southbud over East Side. And at the 1A, he has Pioneer over Milin. So, we're going to see there's going to be some some changes that come through ours uh between Pioneer over Milin. That's fun.

I got to hope that uh my Blue Jays of North Judson can flip that result. Okay, Spang. So, we'll just start in 6A here. Uh again, Brownsburg looking unbeatable right now. They throttle Ben Davis 427. Lawrence North got it done over North Central.

Lawrence North beat up a little bit. Prather. I don't know if the QB is going to be going against Brownsburg, so that's a huge loss. I don't know. I don't know for a fact. Uh, but they're already out without Munchin Sales.

I mean, Zor's electric. I don't know if he can do it himself, but he might be tasked to. Yeah, you're going to have to You're going to have to show up if you want to beat the Bulldogs. And then, yeah, Warren Central gets it done over Franklin Central. Do you have Are you correct in all of your regionals? I am correct in all my regionals.

Okay, same. So, I have Crown Point, Ben. Yeah. Caramel, Carol, Brownsburg, Lawrence North, and then Warren Central Center Grove. Yeah, I mean, this is the cream of the crop of 6A, folks. I mean, this is it's going to be really good football this week.

I mean, listen to those matchups and we'll talk about it a little deeper later, but Pen, Crown Point, Caramel, Carol, Warren, Central, Center Grove, Lawrence North, Brownsburg, both of those rematches in the first game of the year. It's going to be fun. I mean, we're we're in for buckle your seats cuz uh buckle your seat belts because it's all great from here on out. Grab your popcorn, baby. Yes, sir. Moving to 5A.

also looking good in 5A minus uh Floyd Central. You know, we know that. But Castle, hey, we're all aboard the Castle train. Now, did you have Chesterton? I did have Chesterton. Wow.

I did not. I had Monster. Okay. Um so, Monster uh and Concord. So, we're going to have a Chesterton Concord match up. Yeah.

How about Concord getting to the regional? The Minutemen, dude. Yeah, they've been hot. So, I'm I'm down two there. Okay. Uh for my regional.

So, what is that? 1 2 3 4 eight. 14 of 16. We have eight teams left in each class. Yeah. I'm I'm Yeah.

14 of 16 there in 5 A and 6A. Yeah. Then we moved to the 4A. Yeah. 4 A into 4 A. 4A into 4A.

This one got tough for me. We got to talk about it today. Dude, what happened? I don't know. How did So I I was in I was deep on John Herrell when I got hot on the Hammond Morton Governors. the governness and they won that game 41 nothing the first time they met they okay so wait I want to set the set the scene here okay so Ham and Morton seven and five 7-4 coming into this game on October 9th they beat Hobert 410 but on November 6th uh Spangle would that be in your margin of flip 41 no it was not in my margin of flip well Hbert wins 4421 over Hammond Morton how does that happen dude what happened.

Tell us what happened, dude. I have no idea. If you know out there, tell us what happened that game. Like, was Hammond Morton missing? Like, I don't know who you have to be missing to go from 410 win to a 23-point loss. I don't That doesn't compute for me.

No, dude. I was so I I have no idea what happened. It was But how about Hbert? Hobert's just like sneaky nine and three. The Brickies facing off against Northridge. regional final shock in the world.

Can they do it? Why not? Why not the Brickies? Dude, I again like this I if anyone knows in the comments what happened because I'd love to know. That's a crazy margin of to flip that win in that fashion. And they got a a hot Northridge team right now with that Schaw kid at QB who's balling.

But uh yeah, Northridge gets it done over Northwood. Okay, so get this Spang. Northridge was up 2114 on Northwood at Andrews Field. Northwood's driving fumble or an interception. I forget exactly which one it was, but it completely flipped the game. Northridge ultimately gets it done 43-21, but it was it was closer than that.

It was a little more nervy than that. Northwood ends their season 7 and five. We love you. We love you Northwood, but Northridge gets it done. And then we talked about Dwinger and East Noble. We talked about Muny Central and Loganport.

This left side of the 4A bracket, Spang, is very, very fascinating. Um, it's the north side, I guess I should say. The north side of the bracket, Muny Central upsets Loganport. So, you got Muny Central, Fort Wayne Dwinganger, and then Hobert and Northridge to get to semi-state. I mean, there's again, there's no easy wins these days, Dom. No.

Um, yeah, there's no easy wins. I'm like looking through this. Muny Central gets hot. Hobert gets hot. I don't know, man. I mean, it's it's painting up to be a potential good matchup between what we thought it would be at semi-state and yeah, Northridge and Dwinger, but yeah, who knows?

Are the rookies out at the right time? They could be. They're nine and three, baby. Okay, so Chitaard gets it done over Danville. We know this. Chitaard's looking fantastic.

Okay, you thought Morsville was going to keep it tight with Bronali. You said 31. No, I said 3117. What did you say? Uh, I didn't even write it down. Okay.

Well, Ronali wins 5519. So, Ronali, they're not messing around. No, dude. They have caught fire this second half of the season. It's been electric. Holy smokes, dude.

The Royal This is That's a game. Circle it. Do whatever you want, Dom. I'm curious to see when we get to matchups that we're looking forward to. That one is again worth the price of of all the tickets you've paid for thus far. That's going to be an electric game down on the Southside.

That's our game of the week, 1,000%. Uh, okay. East Central gets it done over Columbus East 63-30. Yeah, man. East Central's good at football. Yeah, they are.

And they got Heritage Hills, baby. So, how many do you have left? Uh, I am 1 2 3 4. I had five of the eight selected. I also have five of the eight. So, five of the eight there.

So, that would move us to 16. That goes 24. I'm 19 of 24, which means I'm 20 of 24, right? Oh, cuz I you had one more miss than me in 5. Okay. Okay.

19 of 24. We keep it moving. Okay. We're down to the final eight in the 3A. Now, this is where I've been pretty good. Okay.

Well, we got 3A. So, see, I've seen a lot of red. See, he's got a lot of red there. I did predict that we would see Andrean and Angola. Did you really? I had that here.

Whoa. Okay. And then down here, I had bluffed inqua. So, there's one that I missed. I also had bluffed inqua. Okay.

So, there's one that you missed. Well, I missed. So, I have Okay, let me just look at this. I have one, two, three, four. I have five of eight. See, I have seven of eight.

Okay, there you go. That's where I start to get some ground there. So, that would put me seven plus that's 26 of 32 in the regional. And Drean is just sneaky. Just just going about their business. First year in 3A.

I rode the Griffith train wrong. Okay. They beat Benton Central. They beat Twin Lakes. Now they got Angola. How about Angola representing the land of the Lakes there?

And Seth Wilcox's first year, nine and three, the Hornets. Can they shock the world here? This is a little northeast verse northwest. I kind of like it. I don't know what the highway that runs across the top of the state would be, but uh could be that battle of that. How about a little 20?

Is it the battle of 20? Battle of 20. I don't know if 20 or six goes all the way. I don't know. Let's see. Andrean 5959 Broadway.

59 59 Broadway to Angola. No, not really a not really a great straight line. The battle of 90. Let's call it that. Okay. Well, it's a little bit off 90.

They're not really close to 90 either. So, nope. Not a straight line, but uh that'll be one that I'm looking forward to. D. Um I did predict that. And I do want to remind people it does look like 80 if you take the toll road there.

Well, you still have to go. I do. It is 20. It would just take you a little longer anyway. Okay. But Andrean 11-1 Spang, we'll see.

I did circle Bluton over Hamilton Heights. I I got the Tigers 28-24. That's my prediction. Okay, so Hamilton Heights keeps it close, though. I Oh, dude. I think this will be a great matchup.

Can you imag What if Hamilton Heights rode this baby to state, dude? They're athletic, man. They're a good team. We got to start talking about Hamilton Heights. I mean, we have been Are we overlooking the Huskies? No, I mean, I don't think so.

I'm taking the Tigers, man. The Bluffton's been hot. We uh we we have nothing but respect for Hamilton Heights. I'm definitely gonna get clipped on uh on Hamilton Heights. You're gonna be like, "I'm digging the Tigers. They've been hot.

Put me on the billboard." I've been a uh a horror story for you. You don't want to get clipped. I'll have Well, save that paper bag for next week just in case you need it. Uh okay, we got Indian Creek and Evansville Memorial. Now, this is an interesting thing, Dom.

I heard about you have the option when you're traveling far into different time zones to play either on Saturday or Friday night. You have you mutually agree in is that correct in because I've heard both where the away team decides day. No, I believe it is. Okay. So, after I looked it up, I think they have to agree and there has to be like a reason. So, Heritage Hills and 4A, they're going to East Central.

Now imagine East Central is in the eastern time zone because they're close to Cincinnati and Heritage Hills is just, you know, north of Evansville, north and would that be north and east, but they're in central time over there. And so if you left at let's say 4:00 on a on a Friday, that's really 5:00 plus you got, you know, 2 hours of travel time, warm up, like it the logistics of there started to not make as much sense. So they're going to play that game on Saturday. Yeah. But but Indian Creek, they elect to go with the Friday night game. Indian Creek is going to Memorial and they're playing Friday night and it's going to be a 8:00 start Eastern.

Yeah. So 7:00 Central, 8:00 Eastern and Low Field going to be rocking. I don't find fault with any decision, but it is odd to play a regional championship on 3:00 on a Saturday, is it not? That's a little odd. I think that helps you out though. You don't want You don't want your kids still thinking about the school day.

You want them sleep in a little. You get to you get to make sure they're up and moving in the morning. Get some breakfast in them. Like kind of feels like a college. I don't know. But if you're okay, so if you're over in Laurensburg, you're at East Central.

Are you like traveling to a different town for breakfast that day? Like just to make sure. You don't want someone, you know, messing with the breakfast for maybe you bring that in with you. Does it ruin your routine though? Like I don't We're going to find out. Yeah, we're going to find out this weekend.

We'll find out. Dominic, what what do you think? I'm interested in your thoughts on those two games. Wait, Heritage Hills is 4A. You already said sorry. No, you didn't.

Heritage Hills East Central. Dude, this is Saturday. Saturday afternoon. So, here's the thing. One, Heritage Hills has been rolling under the radar for most of the season. Again, we've talked about Owensboro, Kentucky.

Yep. And Rights. There's Gibson Southern. Ah, okay. Owensboro, Kentucky, which is out of state, and Gibson Southern. And then they beat Rights by 16 in the sectional semi-final.

So I I think they've been under the radar. However, however, East Central has a really great win against New. But then East Central goes and gets kind of like pieced up by Ron Ali. Yeah, true. So this is going to test again. This is where those geographies start to make a little more sense.

Yes. Where like cuz I thought that um I mean that Gibson Southern game was really good and Easter East Central does have a win over Lawrenceburg as well. like they're, you know, I know they're 3A, but Lawrenceburg is still very good. So, I don't know, Spang, you're absolutely right. Um, this is going to be an interesting game. I think it's going to be closer than a lot of people think.

Yeah, I think it's going to be closer than a lot of people think. Maybe a late TD gets it done for East Central. I my my gut says that routine might matter a little bit there. And I I just have a feel. Is it Isn't it Mingus? Ryan Mingus of East Central.

Like, I just feel like they've got a little bit of magic and they're they're probably trying to get a rematch. uh against someone like Ronali if Ronali were to upset Chitard. Yeah. Like you know like East Central's like hey we have a better product to put on that. Remember that game we play they would play the winner of that game. Yeah.

Remember you know they're they're saying remember that game we put up against Newbell like we have that team somewhere inside of us. Can we release it? It's at home on a Saturday. If you're down in St. Leon where else you got to be except for I mean unless you're at the Mon Bell game. Yeah.

True. Of course that's okay. Chitaard and Wobbash's recruiting classes from East Central and Heritage Hills are going to be at an all-time low. They're busy. They're busy. They're playing football.

They're not watching football. But so in the 3A, Dom, I think Well, do you have a score for me? I I wanted to know. But those two games that are like wonky, like one's being played Friday night, one's being played Saturday. I'm going 28-24 East Central. 3428 East Central.

And then Indian Creek and and uh Evansville Memorial, different situation. Deciding to go Friday night. on the Friday night. Uh I think Memorial's really good. Again, we talked about um John Hurley. John Hurley the halftime wizard.

We talked about them being down a couple players that interior linebacker core. Some some new kids got to step up. Hey, it's not rebuild, it's reload at Evansville Memorial. There's no talk of rebuild. No. And and I'm I I'm wondering if the boys from Trfaloger, that is Indian Creek, right?

Mhm. If the boys from Faler, I don't think they have the same strength of schedule that Memorial does. That's fair. They've only allowed 28 points since October 2nd. Indian Creek. Wow.

So, I mean, and yeah, you could you can say without it being And how about this? Indian Creek has played this will be their fifth straight away game. What are the boys in Dfoger got to do to host a game? Well, I mean, gee, we at Christmas, dude. Hey, Road Warriors. I do think Evans Memorial gets this done.

I I do think it might be by two scores. There's no disrespect to Indian Creek whatsoever. I mean, you know that you have Indian Creek loyals that watch the show. I know zero disrespect. We we we did a wedding together, folks. All right.

I'm jacked up for the Braves who are 11 and0 by the way. They are undefeated. They're undefeated. Prove me wrong. They've only given four touchdowns up in the month of October, Dominic. And I know I just know how good Evansville Memorial is.

They are really, really, really good. But if if injuries start to rear their head, what happens, Dom? 8:00 Friday night. We're going to find out what is going to happen. Spang. All right.

Talk talk 2A 2. Okay. 2A. Wheeler again. This is a team Wheeler is just going about their business. Going about their business.

They're 11 and one. Only losses to Griffith. I don't know. Spang. Wheeler gets it done over Knox. Okay.

57 to8. They got East Side who again is another team that's just like lurking. We talked about uh Radkkey Russ. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We talked about them early. Like again, they're they were still finding their identity getting to the sectional finals. Like that's a nice draw for them. They get to play a little bit more postseason football. Wheeler again, they were really hot going in. They lost that one to Griffith.

Uh they had an undefeated almost undefeated regular season. Yeah. Like Wheeler, the Bearcats are good at football, man. This is Josh Whisting's first year 11-1. Biggest test this season. East side who is unbeaten, folks.

11 and0. And I gotta tell you, Spank, East Side has not played a a close game. Now, here's the thing, man. One, uh, my guy Ryan Brock, he gave me the score. He said, "All right, Nate, here's my prediction for tonight's game for sectional 34 East Side at Rochester, the Zebras." He said, "Blazers win 497."

He sent this to me last Friday at 9:38 a. m. And he also said, "Thanks for the shout out." Hey, he had the margin correct. It was 42 for Dude, this guy knows east side football. Yeah, because he got the one exactly right against Breamman, right?

413. Oh, no. He had 4214. Yeah. And they missed two extra points. One each side.

So that's back to back within two and seven points in the He's got a lovely picture here of Joe Maverick. Uh they had a parade through town pep rally at midnight for the boys. Mr. Job Richmond hoisting the trophy. Let's go. Shout out to the Blazers of East Side.

That's awesome. That's electric. Okay, so Eastside Wheeler excited for that one. Okay, then we talked about Oakhill beating Lewis Cass. So we got Oakill and Lapel. We Lapel's rolling, Spang, dude.

And but Oakill's rolling. Oh, Oak Hill's rolling. They've got some fire there. I think that'll be a good matchup. Um in my bracket, I do have Lapel. I have Lapel and Eastside at Semi State.

I think that'll be a great matchup. Hopefully, you know, you talked about the Bread Works, the uh the source we had at Bread Works. Lapel has to be healthy. They had to bring their team. Well, they seem to be healthy. I mean, they've been rolling.

What was that? What was that Acrestown score? 48-0. And I think that most of those points were scored in the first half. That is correct. So, we're probably going to be looking I do want to know how many of your 2A schools do you have?

Okay. I have six of eight. Seven. How about Eastern Hancock and Southput? I'm excited for that. We'll get into it in a second.

And then Brownstown Central just going about their business and North Posie. Reed May. Is that a rematch? Have they played? Reed May is at No, Reed May is after that state championship. They have not played.

North Posy's 11-1. Brownstown Central's 12-0. Reed May, he wants that state title, dude. He again, he's been there for forever. Has like 34 years. You've said their you've said their record like every week on the show.

338 and 66. Just unreal. This is their back. They're looking for back-to-back state championship appearances. Only lost to Andrean 7 nothing last year. Now Andrean's out of 2A, but here's South Button.

I'm waiting for it. Dude, that South 2A is really good. Look at those four teams. North Posie, Brownstown Central, South Putt, and Eastern Hancock. Dude, it's impressive. We're in 2A's got good football going on.

100%. All right, Spang. Just off the jump here, I have one I have six of eight. 1A. So, I am a total of 37 of 48. 39 of 48.

What were you 37 of 48? 39. Come on. All right, dude. It's going to start getting real. Uh Dom, what happened in the uh Nightstown game?

Nightstown rolled try. Wow. Finding Robert Porters, baby. Now, this is a rematch up there, right? I think Milin So, no, they have not played. Milin and Nightstown have not played.

Uh Nightstown beats Tri 42 to6. Nightstown has won seven in a row and they haven't been particularly close. Well, Westell was a humongous win and then uh Try. Okay. So that now they got Milin. Milin is 10 and two.

Remember Milin played Eastern Hancock to end their season. Yep. And how good has that felt going through here? Milin then 4127 lost to Eastern Hancock and Eastern Hancock 4812 over Nightstown. I got to tell you, Milin only lost by one to Batesville, too. I think this is a this is a this is a 1A team who's feeling the the Milin special here.

Yeah. I mean, hey, they know they know a thing of Drew about Magic down there in South Eastern Indiana. They got to semi-state a year ago and they were just seven and five, dude. So, I think they play a tough regular. I think that's Milin's way to rock and roll. You know what I'm saying?

And we love that, man. So, yeah, we're looking at But another team of destiny. Can the Gophers of Clinton Prairie keep the magic rolling after winning their first sectional title in school history? Can they upset the Blue Jays of North Judson San Pierre? We shall see. Clinton Prairie's got it going on.

I do hope not because North Judson is my state champion. That's true. And then Pioneer and South Adams 1A's got it going on. Dude, look at that. Those matchups, Spang. This is consequential for us because I got Oh, I almost forgot.

Riverton Park and North Davies. Dude, the the Vikings of North Davies. No, the Cougars of North Davies. Cougars of North Davies. The Cougars of North Davies against Riverton Park Panthers. Yes.

RP. I remember that from P RP. Yep. Uh I mean, so how about that? It's time for our Indiana high school football player of the week powered by Ascend Football. Dom, who are our nominees this week?

Okay, we got some really nice honorable mentions. How about Harry Sheil from Fort Wayne Carroll? Eight receptions, 121 yards, two touchdowns as Carol has Caramel for the regional final this week. How about a pair of East Central running backs? You know, one of them, Mingus. Yeah, Ryan Mingus.

Mises. Mingus. Mingus. Okay. Ryan Mingus, 17 carries, 201 yards, three touchdowns. And how about his teammate?

13 carries, 166 yards, three touchdowns for Chase Marsh, dude. A little co-player of the week. How about a little 277 267 rushing yards, six touchdowns between the two. Ground and pound of East Central. But would you believe me if I said there was a better one? Oh, I cannot wait.

Who do you got for me? Old Nancy Wheeler. This is our player of the week. Wheeler gets it done over Knox to get to the regional final. How about Levi Murray? 23 carries, 372 yards, seven touchdowns.

Wow. How about Aspen? Wow. Personally, putting 42 points up on the board. That is incredible. Yeah, you're right.

6* 7 42. Okay. I thought I thought you messed it up there. You didn't. No. Well, you unless he's also the PAT kicker.

He could be. If he was the PA dig kicker, I'd like to know that on It's a 2A school. Levi Murray, baby. Come on. Levi Murray is our player of the week. How about that?

Seven Tutties. Oh boy. Wait, here we go. Let's see if I can find him. Find him. Give me his stats.

We've got a 6-foot running back wearing jersey number seven. 6' 205, class of 2028. Did we just stumble upon an absolute stud? And it says 2,281 yards, 47 touchdowns. has seven against Knox, five against Wrestler Central, four against Boone Grove, one against Griffith in that loss. Then he has four against Whiting, four against He's averaging 190 yards per game.

This is wild. September 2nd, he crossed 1,000 yards. Dom, did did we just stumble upon one of the greatest high school football players in the state of Indiana right now? 1,000%. again, 2,281 yards, averaging 190 yards per game, 47 touchdowns. Okay.

The Chicago Tribune did an article on Wheeler's Levi Murray, who's a junior, by the way. 19, this wasn't late September, 19 TDs in five games. Quote, he's the whole deal. He says, I've never really competed in the postseason. He's not looking ahead. Oh my gosh.

He is currently for this season he is ranked number six nationally for touchdowns on max preps. 47 total TDs. Holy are I mean does Levi Murray have some magic for the We got to start talking about Levi Murray and the Wheeler Bearcats. Are the East Side Blazers ready for Levi Murray? What did your boy predict for this game? He hasn't given me a prediction.

No prediction. We're going to check back in Ryan Brock. I need to know what our prediction is for East Side. But holy smokes did circle. We're circling. circling Wheeler and East Side.

Here's the thing, Doc. Got to keep an eye out for Levi Murray. What's his statline? So, here's the thing. If you want to beat Wheeler, I've been talking about Nancy Wheeler all season and I didn't know about Levi Murray. Dude, we got Again, I will say when you're a coach or you're a part of an organization, if you're in email or DM like sending stats our way, it is so helpful cuz I can't believe it's regional week and we're just figuring out about Levi Murray.

Thank goodness we got a whole another year of him here. Yeah. Oh, circle that for preseason 2020. What would that be? 2028, Mr. Football.

Holy cow. Now, here's the thing. If you want to beat Wheeler, you've got to hold Levi Murray to under two touchdowns. Yeah. Every game that they have won, he has scored three or more touchdowns. Let me just read you his touchdowns for the season.

Four touchdowns, three touchdowns, four, three, five, three, four, four, one, which was that game against Griffith. Yeah. Four, five, seven. Levi Murray, dude. Oh my goodness. 47 touchdowns.

Let me just say that one game against Griffith, he was held to 63 yards and one touchdown. Other than that, man, he's been I mean, he was through 355 last week, but 282, 132, 221, 158, 200 yards, 200 yards, 197, 151, 128, 188. Okay. And Griffith's, you know, was a ranked team in 3A. Yeah. Okay.

So, dude, old Nancy Wheeler, a hidden gem. Levi Murray, you are our player of the week. Again, 23 carries, 372 yards, seven touchdowns, and we have stumbled upon a guy who has over 2,000 yards, and nearly 50 touchdowns this season, and he is a junior. We're going to get one more. We're going to get some more postseason football from Levi Murray. But that is our player of the week powered by Sun Football.

Unbelievable, Spang. Dom, what match ups are you looking forward to this week? I'm so happy you asked us down the classes here. You at this point in the season, it's every game, by the way. I just like to say I mean I I think I only left off like two. It's just unbelievable.

But in 6A we talked about it. Brownsburg and Lawrence North and then Center Grove and Warren Central. Two rematches from the first game of the season. Last time Brownsburg played Lawrence North 48-25. Now that was Brownsburg's closest game of the year. We don't know the status of Darien Prather.

What's going to happen? But they're mowing everyone down. Zay Moore is obviously electric. That game's at Lawrence North. So it was the first game of the year at Lawrence North as well. Warren Central hosts Center Grove again.

Warren beat Center Grove 20 to4 in their first game of the season. That's what kind of like propelled them to the season they're having in my opinion because that's a hostile environment. They got it done. Now they're hosting Center Grove. Oscar Sloan is back under center for the Trojans. We shall see what happens.

How about the this for Northern Indiana? Fifth ranked Crown Point hosting sixthranked Penn battle of unbeatens battle to see who the king of Northern Indiana is. I'm excited. Do you have any leans? Crown point pen. Uh I think the Kings men will continue to hold the crown.

All the Kings horses and all the Kings men and couldn't get back to Granger, Indiana again or Lucas Oil Stadium. Oh, Lucas Oil Stadium again. There's a song there, dude. We're going to workshop that one for next week. Uh, I do have Penn in the state championship game. Then Fort Wayne Carroll hosts Carmel.

So like Carmel goes up to Fort Wayne. What happens there? We don't know. Can Carmel lock back in? Yes, you beat Westfield, but that's over now. Yep.

Time for a regional. You want to be the best, you got to beat the best. We say it every week. 100%. Okay, so that's 6A. Cathedral and Planefield.

Planefield. We We know a guy on Planefield staff. Zack Williams. Boy. Yeah, dude. Coach B, come on now.

Coach B. Yeah, I know. I was just reiterating. We know him. We know him. Uh, Sabance is really good, but Cathedral is really good.

Cathedral is really good. Cathedral is very, very good. So, that Planefield's hosting that one. We shall see what happens. I'm supremely intrigued by this game. Bloomington South hosts Castle.

You love Bloomington South. I'm hot on the Panthers of Bloomington South. They are mowing people down. Again, they had a great game. They did not come out. Again, there are no losses that are wins.

No. You know, there's no good losses. No. But there are good efforts. Yes. And I saw a good effort with the product that Bloomington South put on the field against Center Grove.

I agree with you completely. And they've outscored opponents in sectional play. 103 to zero. They haven't been scored on in sectionals. 63 nothing over Franklin. 40 nothing over Bloomington North.

Okay. So we got Bloomington verse what? Evansville basically, right? Castle. Yeah. I mean Newberg.

Okay. I was just That's why I said basically. Uh well see Evansville will be upset that you called Castle. My bad. Hand up. My bad.

That's why I got to get down to Evansville. I got to explore the place myself. Uh, so Castle and Bloomington South. I'm I'm just really really interested in that matchup. Warsaw and Lafayette. Jeff, Coach Shanley, you want to The Broncos got it going on.

You want to put the helmet on? What? Wait, no. Well, we should make our picks and if you pick them, you put the helmet on. Yeah. Right.

Okay. Lee Corso. Uh, so D Corso. D Corso. Warsaw gets it done over Snyder. Jeff lost its first two games of the year to Chitaard and Maraveville.

They've won nine straight. None of them close. Pat Shanley 95 and 26, 11 years as head coach. They've won sectional three of the last four years, make it four of the last five because of this season. And now biggest test of the year spang against Warsaw. I'm I'm interested in this one as well.

Where's that game being played at? Lafayette. Oh, coach Bart Curtis got to take the boys into enemy territory. He's got to face up against coach Shanley and not only Clayton Richard, but Cashton and Cannon Richard as well. They're going to be pumped up on the sidelines. Oh boy.

I don't know. Again, I' I've kind of said it all season and I have the utmost respect for the Broncos. For all the Broncos with an H. Don't forget it. Never forget. But I did circle on my early preseason before I even knew about any of the Richard the Richard family.

Before I knew about the Richard family, I did circle Warsaw to be my pick coming out of the North. That is also a little bit of hometown bias and a little bit of original black crunch. Sure. I mean, look, I have Warsaw as well, but the Hey, the note said it all. The Broncos got it going on. We got a Lafayette Jeff helmet.

Yeah. I mean, we do have We only have two helmets in this entire place. One goes to the Butler Bulldogs and the other one is for Lafayette Jeff. So, is this time for redemption? Dom, give me the Broncos. Give me the Broncos, baby.

Dominic Miranda is going to be on every billboard in Kaziasco County. Yeah. Again, I have Warsaw going to state. Why do I do this? I don't know. Just a glutton for punishment.

I know. Okay, I'm taking Lafayette Jeff 20, Warsaw 17. Whoa. Oh, boy. All right, Dom. Okay, I like it.

I'm feeling good about it. Okay. Uh, sorry, I got lost. I'm going to say uh I'm going to say Ken, this is with the utmost respect. And coach, you can put me on the bulletin board. I would accept it.

I understand. But I have to go with my original gut. I think the defense that Warsaw puts on the on the field is very, very good. Yes. I'm going to go 1410 Warsaw. Okay.

Yeah, I do think it's going to be a lowscoring one. I like that Spang. I like that. That's going to be a game to watch. Another game to watch. How about another rematch in class 4A?

Second third ranked teams in the whole state of Indiana in class 4A. Roni hosts Chitard. Now, Chitaard pulled away heavy in this one LA in the regular season. 4214 I believe was the final. And if you remember, I remember because it was the start of wrestling season last year. Uh Ron Kie beat them in the playoffs last year.

That is correct. And it kind of got a little bit out of hand there, but dude, the Trojans that I saw on the field last week, I know, are good. The Trojans that we've seen, you know, throughout the season, again, this is the most state championships in Indiana high school football. Yeah, there's a reason for it. Harrison ODM's playing very well. Danny Adams is back.

Jagger Gry, he's been back for like, I know, but he's the man. Jagger Gry is just a beast on defense. We had a bunch of young M&M's out there with the bleach blonde hair as well. Chitaard was very hospitable. Uh, bunch of students listened to the program by the way. Shout out to our crew.

Shout out to Shard. I mean, this is going to be interesting. Roni is trying to get back to state. Give me Chitaard. Oh, he's Oh, how quick the tables turn, dude. I mean, we have been in I feel like the huddle for Roni most of the season.

That's actually very true. Like, we were in on the quarterback debacle. We're in on I mean knowing about I think there are some some potential defensive shakeups for the Royals on the south side but one thing this is not I mean I hate to say it like you know there's such things as friendly rivalries. This is not one of this is not a friendly rivalry man. Oh, that PL I that game in the regular season that place was so charged up and Ronali what they tried to do was basically take the air out of the ball like one pos two possessions I think took us to halftime and then Chitaard kind of scored a couple times fluke like crazy plays and then they just pulled away. So but I feel like dude was trying to do the same thing.

The road to Lucas Oil runs through I mean typically in the past like five or eight years has run through one of these schools. That is correct. And correct me if I'm wrong, Spaggel, but Chitard has not won a 4A state title. Is that correct? I don't believe so. And I believe they elected, you know, go out there and fact check it.

Go fact check it. I believe they elected to stay in 4A this year. I think you're not make it to state last year. And I think they would have had the option to go back down to 3A. And I believe, again, quote me if I'm wrong, go look it up, fact check. I believe they elected to stay in 4A because they want to win a 4A state title.

And they are my champion. Circled from the beginning, the Chitaard Trojans. Hey, we have all the belief in Chicago. But I will say, dude, it's been a fun season to follow for Ronali in the Southside. I'm really excited for this game. And I will eat some crow.

I did say, what was it LA? I said, I don't know, man. Morrisville kind of got it going on. I I put some respect on the Pioneers and I took a little bit of flack in the comments uh from our our Royal listeners, and I'll take that. I I do believe I believe this will be a heck of a matchup. If it's your guys' game of the week, it's one I'm gonna be tuning into getting ready for the Monan Bell game on Saturday.

So, I'll be watching on Friday. I'm so excited. That's going to be a fun fun game. Spang. Okay. And then we talked about this one.

East Central hosting Heritage Hills. Game is on Saturday at 3:00. East Central. Mhm. I have East Central 3428. Okay.

3428. And that is no disrespect because I I remember seeing and wondering why Heritage wasn't higher in the rankings. Yes. I remember seeing them one lost to Gibson Southern in state, the other one out of state. I mean, I said the Patriots are pretty good. They kind of flow flew under the radar this season, but man, if the East Central team that beat New Pal shows up, they are a good football team.

I know. I know. This is going to be a fun one. Okay, Evansville Memorial hosts Indian Creek. I think uh hardressed to wonder if Memorial can get it done. I mean, they've just been unbelievable this season.

Lawrenceburg and Tri West. Remember what did the Tri West head coach tell me before the season? If they don't make it to state, it's a failure. It's a failure. So, this is Jack Sorgg's time to s shine. I mean, again, you're you you want to be the guy.

Yeah. You got to be the guy here. Got to be the guy. Got to be the guy right here. Lawrenceburg. Very very good team.

I mean, remember does now he doesn't play both ways. Is like are they they're not like where does really 2A or two-way players start? Is that more in the 2A? I mean, I I mean, all of almost all of our main guys when we were in high school, 3A went both ways. Okay. At 3A.

Yeah. So, I mean, I don't know, dude. Like, I think that's pretty common. If I had an athlete, I bet some 4A guys go both ways. I mean, I would consider putting sword. Can you not play at safety or something?

You want to Dude, you got to be the man. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I He's He can sling it. That's all I can say. All right.

So, he's got to have I think that he's got to have an lights out game and the guys around him, they got to show up. They got to be big. Yeah, they got to play as big as they can this game because it's going to take everything. The Memorial offense is fireworks. Like dude, I mean, their defense has been big. Like they are whatever you do in the first half, you might need to have two different game plans cuz John Hurley is a halftime wizard.

Yeah. So you have a first half game plan and then you change everything. Maybe you don't do that. I'm not a coach. I don't know. But unreal.

I'm really excited for it. Okay. Hamilton Heights host Bluton. You you you're all aboard Bluton. That is the the like rural northern Indiana. Team of destiny.

Team of destiny, man. But Hamilton Heights, hottest team in the state. Really looking forward to that. Brownstown Central, North Posey, and then South Putham and Eastern Hancock. I have that game as one that I'm going to be very, very tuned into. South Eastern Hancock.

I will say on this program, we have shown South Putt a ton of love and they deserve it. I mean, they are good. Again, we went back on the freaking we went back on the Sagurn ratings. Yeah, they're the only team not in 6A that's in the top 10, which is crazy, which is wild. But man, Eastern Hancock is good, too. Yeah, they really, really are.

I don't know. This will be telling. This will be like if Southput rolls this game, they will. Yeah, they're just they're just too good. Okay, can we agree that this has got to be a close game, right? Like, it has to be.

I don't know, man. I don't know. I mean, Southt's ridiculous, but I would just be floored if it wasn't crazy lopsided because Eastern Hancock, I love the brand of football they play. Okay. The Fighting Levi Murray's Wheeler and old Nancy Wheeler traveled to East Side. East Side is unbeaten.

I am so interested in what your guy says the score is going to be. I Dude, he's been spot on. I know. So, I need I'm locked in. Ryan Brock knows he knows East Side football. Well, I want to know if he knows Levi Murray.

I mean, this is the battle. Joe Richmond, Levi Murray. I also saw the preseason rankings for uh wrestling came out and Joe Richmond is in the preseason rankings. Of course he is, dude. This guy electric. What?

Two. Wait, this is our first one of these. I think two Ascend high school football players of the week match up. Levi Murray and Joe Richmond. Okay, dude. This is a battle.

Wait, I want to like note that somewhere. Yeah, our two M our two footballers, our two players of the week match up. East side Wheeler. Is that game at East Side? That game is at Eastside. Oh man, enemy territory for the Wheeler Bearcats.

That'll be a good one. Okay, I'm excited. Okay, last few here. Pioneer and South Adams at South Adams. I'm sure that place is going to be like locked in. Again, you talk about just a place where high school football is going to mean more.

It's going to mean more this weekend. Yes. That is going to be a very, very special environment to be a part of and I cannot wait to see all the the coverage from there. Totally agree. Riverton Park and North Davies. So, this is West Central Indiana on the line.

Okay. I want to see if there's a I wanted to know if there was like a crossover here. Common opponent. So, North Davies beat Cloverdale 54 to7. Riverton Park beat Cloverdale 4921. Uhoh.

That seems like uh that's close. By the transit of property, this game is going to be a close one. Okay. So, River bombshell analysis. I think so too in in regional in the regional final here. So Riverton Park, North Davies, the winner plays the winner of Milin and Nightstown.

Nightstown kind of on a dream run here, Spang. And but Milin looking to get back to the semi-state for the second straight season. That's my matchups to watch Spang. Uh Don, the final one I would say is can the most magical team. I got to know what their record was. Eight and four with losses to Rochester, Sheridan.

They lost to Carol and then beat Carol. They they lost and won. That's crazy. In two weeks, they went from losing 21 to6 to winning 28 to 12. How about that? In from literally they lost on October 9th and won on October 23rd.

And they got North. This is a team of destiny. The Gophers. They're 8-4. They've got North Judson. That's one.

I'm going to be watching the Blue Jays. Unbelievable. Hey, you want to know a fun fact really quick, Spang? Yeah. So, we got a message about Cass County. The four C County high schools are a combined 39 and5 this 2026 football season.

This was prior to last week. Loganport was 11-0 going into last week. Pioneer 11-0. Casted 9-2 and Lewis Cass 8 and3. Dang. How about that?

Cass County F. And then two of them, two of the county losses were to another county team, Pioneer. And only one made it out of sectional finals. That would be Pioneer. Oh man. Hey, heck of a season for Cass County.

So yeah, Pioneer beat Cass and then Oak Hill beat Lewis Cass and then Muny Central shocked Logan'sport. So this is a testament to the best regional youth league in the state, the CCFL. The CC the Cass County Youth Football League. That's what our guy said. They're feeding players all over Cass County. So that's fun.

It's going to be an absolutely fun week of regional play. I'm excited. Dom, this has been uh another great episode. Thank you to everyone that listens. If you could please, if you're watching on Facebook, give it a like, maybe a share. If you're watching on YouTube, subscribe.

Next week, Dom, I mean, we only have 24 games this week. That is correct. 24 games. So sad that we're getting to the end of high school football season, but everything I mean from here on out, every every matchup is one that to watch. Tom, to end the show, I want to give a shout out to the Butler Bulldogs who are eight and two. How about Kevin Lynch's bunch?

They have as good a shot as anyone to win the Pioneer League. I believe they're tied with Dayton right now, but they did lose to Dayton. So I wanted to give a quick shout out to our college team. At least the Butler Bulldogs. And then we got the bell game coming up. Yeah.

If you see us out in my say what's up. Say hello to us, please. I mean, I'm going to be somewhere in the front row. Like, you'll find me at the front row of the Depal side. Uh, I'm going to be bringing the juice. We're going to be extra charged up.
