Speaker 1I was ready , bro , there's a hindrance Silence is cassette , so let your voices be heard . Man , we brothers with opinions . Now we spreading the word . Bringing light to the dark Revolution is our art .
Speaker 2Man . A lot of people talk , but they ain't never walked apart . Gotta shine a light on poverty and fight against injustice and always speak the truth when the enemy's on the line . What's up ? Ladies and gentlemen , welcome back to the BWO , the only podcast y'all really need to tune into on Sundays , sitting here with my brother Wayne and my brother Tony Y'all know where Zeb's at on the clock getting that bread . Anyway , man , we're going to keep it short and sweet . This week . We're going to run down a bunch of scores from the high school football playoffs and everybody hitting to either the semis or the championship games , and then we're going to slide on over to our favorite sport . At least me and wayne's I can't speak for my brother tony . I think he liked football more , but his son is one of the best players in the state mr christian dinges and haley looking real smooth right now , beating teams by 75 80 points , taking teams on from bigger , bigger divisions like hugo and I , and putting it on them yesterday . So let's get on into these scores with my brother Tony .
Speaker 4Well , chris , first off I'll say I love all sports . I love football , basketball . Come on man , I coach basketball . I love all sports .
Speaker 2Well , what's the water polo scores ?
Speaker 4Give me a second . I'll get that by next week . All right , we'll start off and congratulate a lot of these area teams because they made the state finals , the VHSL state finals . So you had Strasburg defeat Pocosin 14-13 , and Graham defeated Glenvar 28-24 . So those two will meet up in the Class 2 state title . So congrats to Strasburg , congratulations boys . That's huge . We'll speak on class two . Real quick , didn't Central make states last year and play Graham in the state final ? Or was it the semifinal ? I can't remember Central , out of Woodstock , I believe . So I want to say , yes , I can't remember , I don't . Yes , I can't remember , but maybe they lost in the semifinal . So anyway , moving on , we'll speak on class one . The state final will be Essex and Grayson County . So those two games will be played at Salem University .
Speaker 2I'll be honest as much as I know about Virginia man , I know Essex . I've never heard of Grayson County .
Speaker 4Well , they're class one man who knows where they're from .
Speaker 2Grayson County . Yep , there you go .
Speaker 4I don't know where Grayson is , but hey , congrats to them . So class one and two championships will be played at Salem University . Okay .
Speaker 2Definitely going for the Rams Yep .
Speaker 4We got to root local . Now your Kettle Run won by one point . They squeaked by and made the state championship in the class three and they will be playing Chris's Liberty Christian . He's all about Liberty Christian . I think that's nice . We'll see . Kettle Run is the team that who's all about .
Speaker 2Liberty Christian . I think they're nice . We'll see Petal runs , the team that whooped all of our area schools , so it'd be better for me I'm going for them To answer your question too .
Speaker 3Tony Central did beat Graham . They lost to Graham 34-7 in the Class 2 state championship final . Just to correct you on that .
Speaker 4Yeah , I just wasn't sure . No , no , no , I mean just the semifinal or the final . Yeah , so yeah . But hey , that's two local teams back to back making states , right , yeah , so that's good stuff .
Speaker 2And I'm pretty sure they're in the same district .
Speaker 4Yeah , they are yeah . And so now moving on class four , right ? Yeah , you have Phoebus versus Verena . Phoebus , portia Rando got demolished 34 to nothing against Phoebus . They've won what five state titles in a row ? Class 4 , I believe .
Speaker 3Yeah , they might as well .
Speaker 4Just call them Phoebus Community College , right ? So Verena , we'll see Ver . Phoebus Community College , right ? So Verena , we'll see if Verena gives them a game . I feel they I don't know Phoebus , shout out to .
Speaker 2Sharando for making it there , yeah . A couple of years from now , all those kids at Sharando will be like oh , we played against him and him , and him , and they all go on to Clemson and then the next thing you know , they're playing for the Jets and the Cowgirls .
Speaker 4Yeah , we definitely want to give a shout out to Shred .
Speaker 1Hey , I know a lot of kids .
Speaker 4Wayne's coached me and him coached a few of them kids . Hunter Rashford you know he played for us and you know BB , and you know there's some good kids over there at Shred . They're good football players so I'm sure they've played them hard . They made it that far , to the state semifinals . Congrats to them . They're defending district champs and regional champs , coming back next year .
Speaker 3I'd like to go check out Phoebus next year , man . We could you want to go to the game ? Over these past three or four years , man , he's just been blowing the fuck out of everybody . Man , like I really want to see this firsthand .
Speaker 4I believe , they was on . I'll move on . I believe Phoebus was on ESPN one time , like they were a game of the week because you know they show high school football . They were on ESPN against somebody . I want to say they were .
Speaker 3I mean , they've got to have a well rounded group of coaches out there , man , because they're doing this year in and year out .
Speaker 4Yeah , so congrats to them too . So the Class 3 and 4 championships , which again will be Kettle Run versus Liberty , christian Class 3 and Phoebus versus Redder , class 4 , will be at Liberty . University where those two games will be .
Speaker 2I'm not going to lie . I got to shout out Kettle Run man because I'm surprised their whole team is white .
Speaker 4Except the Tapscots .
Speaker 3Funny gesture .
Speaker 2I like it . I've seen their picture and I'm like these dudes is the ones that smoke and everybody . Dude dude hey , I mean , shout it . I've seen their picture and I'm like these dudes is the ones that smoke and everybody .
Speaker 4Dude . Hey , I mean , shout out , they got a good program . I mean , they're another school that has a hell of a football program and they have a system .
Speaker 3They do their damn thing year in and year out I don't think the ethnic has anything to do with it man , fundamentals and IQ . If you have that man you can beat anybody you want man . It was a good little funny joke there .
Speaker 4Moving on to Class 5 and 6 , state finals . You have in Class 5 , maury versus Briar Woods in Class 5 , and then Oscar Smith versus James Madison in high school , and those games will be played at JMU right down the road .
Speaker 3James Madison playing at James Madison .
Speaker 2Home field advantage . Where is that ? 6a school , James Madison .
Speaker 3Good question . I want to say it's down near , like Waynesboro area . We don't have 6A schools in that area . No , no , no , I'm totally wrong . I think it's Vienna , vienna , virginia , vienna .
Speaker 2So that's .
Speaker 3Northern Virginia . I was thinking of something else . I can't think of a high school that's down there . It was like James Monroe . James Monroe , oh yeah , that's probably who you're thinking of . Yeah .
Speaker 4But I think James Monroe is like class two . There was Strollberg in it , I think .
Speaker 1Or .
Speaker 4I'm thinking no , there is another James Madison . Is it In Monroe ? Yeah , I believe in class two .
Speaker 2It's because those are the first presidents of this country . You know they're all from Virginia , so they probably got a bunch of schools . They got schools Just like we mentioned last week .
Speaker 4They got high schools , elementary . How many Thomas Jeffersons are there ?
Speaker 2You know what's crazy is ? There's only one , george Washington , and that's in Danville .
Speaker 3That's the only George Washington school , are you sure I that's the only .
Speaker 2George Washington school , are you sure ? I don't know of any others . I've never heard of them throughout the whole time we've been growing up till now .
Speaker 3I mean you got George Washington University in Georgetown . Yeah , those are in DC , but as far as like a high school or middle school or something like that , that's probably the only one that you've heard of .
Speaker 2Right . The only ones we're going for is who ? Kettle Run and Strasburg Kettle .
Speaker 3Run Strasburg and .
Speaker 4Yeah Kettle Run and Strasburg .
Speaker 2Because we didn't get over to our state limit boys , Martinsburg and Spring Mills Exactly .
Speaker 3That was just the Virginia scores .
Speaker 4Oh , shoot my bad . Well , I do know Martinsburg won by one point by one point by one point Over Highlander . I said Was that 35 ?
Speaker 3Highlander ?
Speaker 4I believe it was Highlander 35 to 34 , so they squeaked by .
Speaker 3And then Spring Mills beat Hurricane 49-7 . Yeah , you got yep there you go Wayne's on it .
Speaker 4He's helping me out over here this morning .
Speaker 2So are they both in the state semis now .
Speaker 4No , no , no . I think that's no , because they started behind .
Speaker 3Remember , they started their playoffs a week later .
Speaker 2Yeah , and all of Virginia is going to state championships .
Speaker 4Right so .
Speaker 2West Virginia should be state semis . They're in the semis right now , man I wish I could go to that Martinsburg-Spring Mills state championship game . That's going to be lit if they both make it Right .
Speaker 4If they do , we have to go . Who Spring ?
Speaker 3Mills and Martinsburg . Yeah , if they're in there , hell yeah , I'm down .
Speaker 4That That'd be fire , I'm down . So congrats to all these young men , congrats to the coaches , everybody making it as far as they have . That's a big accomplishment . Like Chris said , that's something these kids can talk about for years making mistakes like that . So now , moving on , basketball season has started , everybody , and we have some basketball scores . And John Hanley won Friday night 97-18 over Princeville , and we'll get back to that . We'll talk about that a little bit , because I was telling Wayne , people always want to post like oh why are you running the score up ? And blah , blah , blah , but we'll talk about that in a minute . So then yesterday they played again and they played Huguenot , huguenot , huguenot . It went 75-49 , that one . So Haley is 2-0 , and Chris says they're ranked number one in the state for some reason , I don't know how .
Speaker 2I think they're number two . I think they have Hampton number one and Hanley number two . Well , they're class , though , to clarify that .
Speaker 4Yeah , 4-8 .
Speaker 2They're not going to be ranked with Oak Hill and Paul , the six of them . But I ain't going to lie man , I got to day . He says he will be , but he's busy Because I ain't never in my life thought I would see Dwight Howard , gilbert Arenas and Matt Barnes shouting out Hanley , that was lit . Yeah , they showed that video at the game yesterday .
Speaker 4Yeah , they showed that video at the game . Yep , that was pretty cool how they did that . You know the kids got a kick out of that . In fact , matt Barnes and Gilbert Arenas Shout out to the family . That was pretty cool . Darian is a producer on all their podcasts . That's why he has his own .
Speaker 3I think he has a lot of followers now man .
Speaker 2He is the producer for all those big podcasts , all the smoke and everything that's lit well , he is the uh .
Speaker 4He has his own media company entirely .
Speaker 3Media is his media entirely nba or entirely nba media or something like that .
Speaker 4It just says not on this , but you could be right . It could be entirely nba . But yeah , we should get Darren on the show . Reach out to get him on . So it seems like he's doing big things .
Speaker 3Yeah , my son might be able to reach out to him . Maybe we can get a little pointers from him on how to continue on with our success . Yeah , big up to Darren
High School Basketball Season Discussion
Speaker 3, though .
Speaker 4So you went to the Skyline game . Who won that ?
Speaker 3That was Friday . Yeah , that was a blowout man . Clark County , they suck , but Skyline's got some work to do . I hate to put it like that . They're terrible , Wade is very blunt . You know me , man , I'm just a brother with my own opinion , but that's what I saw with my own eyes , making me cough Skyline . They got some players that should come off the bench and contribute to the team . It's not a good rotation of players that the coaches got going on out there .
Speaker 4Well , I can give you another score the other night because Clark County played James Wood and guess who won . Who won that ? Clark County ?
Speaker 3James Wood must be terrible , ben Bates , because I didn't see anything exciting out of Clark County . James Wood must be terrible , ben Bates I didn't see anything exciting out of Clark County .
Speaker 4We love Ben Bates , but , man , he's got some work to do .
Speaker 2Yeah , it's his first year . They lost last night , or yesterday I think , to Loudoun Valley About one , did they ?
Speaker 1really .
Speaker 4I think Loudoun County is the power .
Speaker 3They had to play Loudoun County Because Loudoun Valley played and handled Inflation last night . So then they lost . Think Loudoun County is the power . They had to play Loudoun County because Loudoun Valley played and handled it informational last night .
Speaker 2So then they lost to Loudoun County yeah because I'm like one of them in school .
Speaker 4Yeah , is the one that's the powerhouse in basketball . But yeah , Ben Bates , I feel we'd love to get him on the show , but I feel he'll change the culture . At James Wood They'll play tough . I'll , at you , say that .
Speaker 2It's not a good start , but we'll see . You're going to come on the show and be like don't be bashing on Clark County no , that would be more my wife .
Speaker 3No , just what I saw , man . I mean the poor kids , they're not good . I saw maybe two guys out there that you know you might have been able to do something with them , man , but the rest of the team , they just got to fall in in the right place , man , because they're I don't know , they're just hanging off the edge right now .
Speaker 2How'd Burks Payson ?
Speaker 3and Ford . Look for Skyline Burks coming out of football transition offensively . I would say a little rusty , got to get his feet under him . His feet work , his fatigue level , I mean that's all there . Bright side that I saw over there was Ahsan , number 10 . He causes havoc top of the press . He almost plays like your son , tony . They got him at the top of the press . He's pretty long , he's quick , he's agile . He likes to cause havoc .
Speaker 2He was in our event , right , chris ? Yeah , that's good to see him out there too , because he got hurt bad in football , oh yeah . So that's good to see he's already back for basketball , and they were missing another key player in Andre Ford .
Speaker 3I think he had some wisdom teeth pulled , so he's going to be out for like at least three games .
Speaker 2So they were missing one of their bigs , yeah , so .
Speaker 3But it was a cakewalk .
Speaker 2I think they beat about like almost 30 , 32 points or something like that . Wow , well , they get to play handling twice this year .
Speaker 3so that'll be fun . Yeah , there should be . It'll be interesting because right now , if they had to play Hanley's , Hanley would probably beat Skyline . That's my belief , because I've seen Skyline already play and I've already seen Hadley play . They probably run him out the gym , to be honest . Right , but once they get all their players and get a little chemistry going I mean , who knows , you know how it is once you get midway through the season and deep towards the playoffs , like basketball starts to change . You know what I'm saying Because a lot of those kids played football . So the transition you've got to flip it over . If I came off the football field and take a jump shot , it's probably going to go over the top of the back .
Speaker 2I'm just saying How's Chirando doing basketball ?
Speaker 4I haven't even seen any of their scores yet , I don't even know if they've played yet . But let me say these real quick from the showcase yesterday , meridian which is a surprise Meridian must be good . I have no clue , but they beat Spotswood with star Cam Pacheco on Spotswood 64-49 , after Cam Pacheco just came off a 40-point game the night before . Because you said who ? Monticello ? Yeah , right , so now I think Spotswood is one and one with that loss .
Speaker 2Cam was first team off state last year , wasn't he , I believe so he's probably going to be player of the year this year , unless Will , christian and them can have something to say about that .
Speaker 4And then Loudon Valley defeated Western Albemarle 48 to 44 . So that's two good schools going at it there . Western Albemarle is always real and we know Loudon .
Speaker 3Valley do . Does Hamlet play Spotswood ?
Speaker 4Yeah , chris just said they play them twice . So when do they play them ? They play . You got to give me a full schedule . Of Mark it on your calendar , everyone .
Speaker 2They played them last year . They played .
Speaker 4Spotswood . The first is Spotswood has their own tournament or showcase . That'll be December 28th through the 30th .
Speaker 3That Hanley plays there . Yes , do you know if they play Spotswood ? I'm not sure .
Speaker 4But I'm sure they probably will , and then they play them later on , I believe . Where is it at ? I'm sure they play them twice .
Speaker 3Yeah , if they play them twice .
Speaker 2I'm not sure for both of those , oh , maybe it's just that I don't think they play them twice .
Speaker 4Yeah , they don't .
Speaker 2Division conference .
Speaker 4Yeah , yeah , they don't .
Speaker 2They'll play Skyline twice , but they won't play that team twice , Like they won't play Huguenot again or Brentsville again .
Speaker 4Right , If they play them twice you'll probably see them in the playoffs . Yeah , yeah , that'd be that same thing . No , not Spotswood . Spotswood's 3A .
Speaker 2Oh , they're 3A . Yeah , wayne , basketball's all . All the divisions are crazy . From when we went to school , everything's all mismatched . I know , man , I got to get up to par with this .
Speaker 3Well , it's like Skyline , skyline .
Speaker 4Skyline's what 3A too .
Speaker 2They're 3A in football but 4A in basketball .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's different because we just went to the game . They're 3A in football and then basketball they're like 4A , like Chris said . Are you sure ? Yeah , there's the same thing .
Speaker 2Some colleges are like that and I'm like that's weird . Yeah , I mean .
Speaker 4I get that . I mean , yeah , I don't know how they can do that when they go by popular . I don't know .
Speaker 2I think Zach said that .
Speaker 4No , I think Skyline is not Y'all making me look this up now .
Speaker 2But they're in the same district , even though they're 3A and then 4A . But that's so weird , man , we didn't have that stuff back in the day , right .
Speaker 4So basketball they are . To answer that question .
Speaker 3Stay tuned , ladies and gentlemen , they should be the same .
Speaker 2That's so weird . It's still the same amount of kids in the school .
Speaker 3I got a fun stat for everybody at the end of the show , so stay tuned .
Speaker 2What about Millbrook ? Millbrook didn't play .
Speaker 4Not that I know of . I haven't heard anything . I don't know .
Speaker 2That's where the Winchester Star and Northern Virginia Daily come in handy . Oh , hold on .
Speaker 4No , no , no , I'm sorry Millbrook did play . They lost by like 30 or 40, . Whoever they played the boys yeah the boys basketball team I don't remember who they played . The girls got beat pretty handily yeah they , I'll find it , but y'all move on , talk about basketball . Nah , I'm gonna give everybody a fun stat .
Speaker 3I'll give you . Go ahead , get the fun stat . The fun stat
High School Sports District Predictions
Speaker 3. Since you know we was talking high school football playoffs and all that , we'll jump up out of our state for just a quick second man . I wanna give a shout out to Tyrese Woodgate . He's a senior running back at Coffey out of Georgia High School man . So Friday night this kid had 605 yards , seven touchdowns on 19 carries . So every carry that he had was 50 yards or longer . He set a single game rushing record on friday night was 605 , seven touchdowns and 19 carries record . I'm not sure if it's a national record , but I do know it's the georgia high school football all-time record and you know there's a lot of good running backs come out of georgia .
Speaker 2Is that kid going to georgia ? Alabama , uh , that I have , is that ?
Speaker 4kid going to Georgia or Alabama ? That I have no clue . He's going to one which top .
Speaker 3Or Oregon , but he's going somewhere . He's from Coffey High School , 5A out of Georgia . So big ups to that guy man . Yeah , that's wild . Every time he touched a ball on 19 carries right . Every time he touched it it was 50 yards or a longer run .
Speaker 4Yeah it was just a touchdown . Every time he touched pretty much .
Speaker 3Half the time almost . Yeah , A little more . Yeah , I mean a little less . I'm sorry .
Speaker 4So , chris , to answer your question about Millbrook , they are 0-2 , okay . Millbrook , they are 0-2 , okay . And if my phone stops acting up , sharando , I looked up . They don't have the score posted , but Millbrook lost the broad run 69-33 , and they lost the skyline 56-54 .
Speaker 2So that's Millbrook's basketball with old .
Speaker 3Eric Green leaving the helm .
Speaker 2He coaches the boys . Yeah , he coaches the boys now , yeah , he keeps switching . Then he wasn't in girls for a long time he had them dominating .
Speaker 4Yeah , he left the girls because the varsity boys position opened up and this is his second year .
Speaker 2So Skyline's undefeated right now . Yeah , they're 2-0 right here .
Speaker 4And then shout-out to the Hanley girls . I can't forget it , they're 3-0 . They won by three yesterday , right , yeah , I believe . So yeah , over Hampshire County .
Speaker 2How'd their young star do ?
Speaker 3Oh , I'm not sure . I'm just going to Providence . I didn't make it in time for the girls game . The girls played right before the guys . I was there for the night game . I just had a lot going on yesterday , so I wish I could have caught the whole tournament , because that tournament started at 2 pm .
Speaker 2Yeah it started . Yeah , she's already getting big-time D1 scholarship offers .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2I think she already had a visit to Providence , I believe right , yeah , that's one of the schools and she's only a junior Right , and where's her older sister ?
Speaker 3I'm not sure she went somewhere . Yeah , she went somewhere . I'll check that out . At a high level .
Speaker 4But shout out to the girls . You know the girls should definitely do some damage again . You know girls program should definitely make some noise again . This year . I think they have four out of their five starters returned on their team for the girls basketball team . So they're loaded . So shout out to them .
Speaker 2The girl that still plays at Hanley . Her name is Regan Regan Regan Edsel she .
Speaker 3Regan Regan Edsel , she's a junior Regan Edsel , she's a junior .
Speaker 2What was her sister's name , though ? I ?
Speaker 4can't remember her sister's name . Can't remember it . I'm bad with names , man , just real bad so who was the better ?
Speaker 2It's Corin or Corinne , corinne , corinne , it's real bad .
Speaker 4So who was the better , it's Corrin or Corrin , corrin , corrin , yep , corrin , corrin , corrin , yep . You're right , there you go . How do you spell it ? Good job , chris .
Speaker 2C-O-R-I-N . Yep . C-o-r-i-n . She goes to Shepherd . She goes to Shepherd out essential .
Speaker 4Yeah , so way , in your opinion . I'll start with you who wins the district basketball ?
Speaker 3yeah , our district , and I'm gonna look so far , early in the season , just dating off of what I've seen on paper and last year , I'm going , I can't , I can't go against it , man , I'm going with the handy judges , man , to win the district , you , homer .
Speaker 2That wouldn't be anything wrong . They went to states the last two years and those kids are all back and they're only sophomores and juniors .
Speaker 3But I just like what they do , like they play at all these invitationals , they get themselves ready for the season to dominate their actual district and then the competition comes once they hit that playoff room . You know what I'm saying . So if they can get over that playoff hump , I mean sky's the limit to these kids , man . They can win states man . But you got to play together . You got to keep a solid rotation of players throughout the game , man , like what I saw last night , it was just a mixture of maybe like six players and I think that Haley's got about three or four players that can come off that bench and contribute right away once they enter the game , just for two , three , four minutes , just to give those key players a break throughout the game .
High School Basketball Team Discussion
Speaker 2So , that being said , how did the team that knocked Hanley out do Charlottesville man ? Chris , you're doing the most Charlottesville .
Speaker 3Because you've got to keep up with those , those schools . That's the team that knocked .
Speaker 2Hanley out and they beat the Hanley girls but let me educate you on this though .
Speaker 3So in that game I don't ever want to blame nothing on refs , but the foul differential was way off . It was lopsided . I believe Hanley had like 28 fouls on him or some crap and Charlottesville only had like seven or eight . So I think the refs had a lot to do with that game . But the kids still played tough and almost pulled that game out .
Speaker 4Look so to answer y'all's question , I'm looking up the basketball , our district , northwestern , and you guys are right , skyline is in our district . Yeah , or region I should say . So you got Skyline Liberty , hanley , falkier , jameswood , warren County , millbrook , brentsville , kettle Run , manassas Park , meridian and Sharando .
Speaker 3So Meridian's in y'all's district . So why don't you know anything about Meridian ? And they beat Spotswood last night . Where is Meridian's in y'all's district ? So why don't you know anything about Meridian ? And they beat Spotswood last night . Where is Meridian ? It's got to be in Loudoun .
Speaker 4County . Yeah , it's in Loudoun . We've scrimmaged them or played them before a year .
Speaker 3Yeah , they got to be somewhere close for them to be . In your region there's some , yeah , interesting man . I mean , when I played I remember broad run parkview , manassas park , osborne , like where them schools at man , they're not you , just in brinsville yeah in our .
Speaker 4Yeah , they're in our .
Speaker 2I wouldn't think they are . They'd seem like they're like wrapping hand at clark county kind of school .
Speaker 4I just looked it up , that's all the schools in our region .
Speaker 3Yeah , yeah , but Brentsville , where's Brentsville ? That's out of county , right , it's in .
Speaker 4Brentsville .
Speaker 2Virginia .
Speaker 4In Brentsville oh .
Speaker 3But I mean , what's the county ?
Speaker 4Brentsville has .
Speaker 3But what's the county there ?
Speaker 4I'm not sure . Look , I can only do one thing at a time , guys . Meridian is from Falls Church , Falls Church , yeah , and then of course , their record right now they're , I believe , 2-0 . Because the season just started , yeah , so they beat whoever Lewis is , Lewis High School . They won 82-46 . And then , of course , they won yesterday against Spotswood . But it's funny they don't have them officially on their schedule .
Speaker 3Brentsville is out of Prince William County . Okay .
Speaker 4Yeah , yeah , that's right .
Speaker 3So another Virginia school . It's not too far away , you know .
Speaker 2I mean , yeah , that's probably why they're in your region and it's funny , man , we wouldn't play forest church and none of those schools back in the day .
Speaker 3Oh , hell , no , man , they would have . Man , one of the toughest schools that we played back in the day . Chris knows this , because chris and I we played together and that was part of you , man , part . Parkview was a powerhouse back in the day and you don't want to hear nothing about them now , man .
Speaker 2I think Tony said they don't have a team anymore .
Speaker 4They don't , I don't think Parkview has a football . No , I don't think they have a football program anymore . That's crazy . And they was nice in football too . I think Broad Run Parkview , I don't think .
Speaker 2They have basketball . Parkview got the same logo as the Patriots , as the .
Speaker 3Patriots ? Yep , but I remember , man , they had a . I think it was a receiver back in the day , it was like the late 80s . Carl Pickens , yeah , and he ended up going to the NFL and playing for the Philadelphia Eagles , or Pickens , what is his name .
Speaker 4Pickens or something like that . Yeah , he's a running back . No , he was a receiver . Well , I think for them in high school he was a High school was pretty different .
Speaker 3He played running back , running back , but once he moved to the league , yeah , you know how that goes , man , like , if you come up in a small area you might play tight end , but at the next level you might be a receiver . I mean , you never know , man . I coach kids in Little League that were linemen , because you know they had that weight limit , and then they go on and have a successful career playing receiver . So you never know man .
Speaker 2Was Will out there looking like one of the top shooters in the country .
Speaker 3I'll put it to you like this yeah , he had a good game .
Speaker 4All right , let Wayne answer this question . He had a good game .
Speaker 3At times a little inconsistent shooting-wise , like I mean he would hit two or three and you would think he's in that zone and then all of a sudden he'll miss two or three . He would hit two or three and you would think he's in that zone and then all of a sudden he'll miss two or three . But overall , to be reclassed , I mean he should be doing a lot more than what he's doing on the court . From what I see they're averaging 55 points a win right now .
Speaker 2What is it ? Well , as a team , they're averaging 55 as a team . Yeah , as a team . I heard he 55 as a team . Yeah , as a team . I heard he scored 17 in the first quarter , so he didn't need to do much else . They was blowing him out .
Speaker 4Oh , the first game . Yeah , like they were just getting that game , just threw it out because it was just like everybody was shining in that game .
Speaker 2So who did something yesterday against Huguenot , who is the more athletic team , as Zach admitted , but obviously they didn't handle Hanley at all .
Speaker 4Well , I'll let Wayne start with it . Who stood out to you ?
Speaker 3Your son , tony . I mean Christian Denges . Man , I appreciate it . He caused havoc last night , man . I mean this kid in the 1-4-1 press it looks like a 1-3-1 to me on the defensive side and he's the ball presser . So with his wingspan , at what is he , tony ? 6'3" , 6'4" , 6'4" , with a wingspan , give or take 6'6" , 6'7" . I mean he was causing havoc , making the point guard go to parts of the sideline where he could trap him . All day long he was coming up with steals , creating steals , and offensively he's a problem because of his length , his size , his quickness at that height I think he had 16 , 17 points .
Speaker 4Last night Will had 21 or something like that .
Speaker 2I think they were the top J Von Amari Cameron . They all look good , I think , javon Amari-Kavern .
Speaker 4They all look good . I'm proud of all of them . I've coached all them kids .
Speaker 3Christian was a little bit more efficient than anyone on that offensive side last night . I believe he didn't take a lot of shots in the shots that he made he lets the game come to him . They were high-level shots . First half .
Speaker 4I don't even think he had a point . You know , but , like Wayne said , you know Christian defense calls and hats . You know every little thing . You know people If you pay attention to the details , the little things . Like Wayne's saying is you know , as you put , make a bad pass . Well , that's on Christian or whoever did they ?
Speaker 3forced that Stuff like that don't show up in the stats .
Speaker 4All the little things don't show up in the stats . He's like Josh Hart . Yeah , he just says he calls his havoc . Just because his length , the kids are going to make a bad pass , a bad decision , Shit . He even picked their pocket . Being 6'4" still , having quick hands and picking pockets that size is amazing .
Speaker 2You don't know . Hustle plays don't get actual stat , Pass deflection is no stat and all that . But you can make a huge difference in the game . So that's what you guys are saying is Christian is going to be a problem for Camper , Checo and everybody . Yeah .
Speaker 4He will . He brings his A game . He will be a problem .
Speaker 2And you've got all these quick guards Briscoe , amari and then you got Kyron and Will , so they're going to be a problem and Kyron's pretty big , and then Will is a sniper , so they got an all-around team . They just don't have a true big right .
Speaker 4Yeah , not really , not really . Yeah , that's what . Or you know down the road of a team Is JoJo not playing ? No .
Speaker 3Man . They could have used him too . And Tony and I we were at the game last night when they started off the game . I mean it didn't look too good they started out kind of slow . I think things switched from the defensive perspective when they started getting a few steals , a few turnovers . That's when everything just kind of fell in place and they kind of just like walked away with it .
Speaker 2Christian was out there catching windmills and stuff . I mean he could have had four or five dunks last night .
Speaker 4They tried one hoop .
Speaker 3I'm not sure of the kid's name . Tony might know his name , but the point guard number one . I mean he's got to get a little bit better with his court vision , because there was probably three or four alley-oops last night that should have been thrown . There was a couple bounce passes that he could have hit . That could have led to a dump . But you know that'll come over time . Man . I mean you can't really teach vision . You've got to have that on your mind .
Speaker 2What's his name ? Tony .
Speaker 4Don Trill . I can't remember his last name .
Speaker 2He didn't play there last year , right ? No , he's a kid from Canada .
Speaker 4He's a foreign exchange student .
Speaker 2Yeah , he's a point guard .
Speaker 4Yeah yeah , oh , he's like Very quick . He's quick , like hey , the boy can finish at the hoop . I mean he had like three amazing and ones Like finishing . He can finish at the hoop .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 4Where's the 6'10 kid ?
Speaker 2Didn't they have a kid that was supposed to come , that was like 6'10 ? They were supposed , but that was over that .
Speaker 4That's history .
Speaker 3Yeah , had a kid that he played good defense last night too . The foreign exchange student yeah , like they hey , defensively they were great .
Speaker 4I love when they went to man . I think what woke them up is because they were in that 1-3-1 , and then they went man and what does it do ? It forces you to play defense when you play . And then they started wreaking havoc just playing man . But then they started switching up back and forth , back and forth , make them kids play defense . And it's not like they can't , you know , it's like what would you say ? Like Christians in their garden are guard , yeah , at 6'4" . So I think that kind of woke them
College Heisman Race Discussion
Speaker 4up too . That when they went to man they find because sometimes I know this from Chris sometimes when you sit back in a zone what happens ? They get lazy Right . Yeah , to me that's easy .
Speaker 2They just start getting , they get lazy , you start relying on the next man . Oh , he's going to help , yeah .
Speaker 4A lot of times kids will get , especially if you're not trapping in the like . If you want them to , okay , there's a , because your mate is like , hey , you better do it or you're out . But you know , if you're just sitting back and you know they start to get a little lazy in that zone .
Speaker 3And you know another thing that I noticed last night . I mean , I ain't going to lie to you guys . Back in the day our high school coaches always stressed it . Chris would tell you Tommy Dixon , every time you catch the ball , triple threat , triple threat man . I don't see none of these kids catching the ball . Like looking triple threat mode , you know what I'm saying . Like it's always , as soon as they catch it , kids looking down at the ground ready to put it on the ground . Like man , where's the triple threat man ? Come around , square up , look at the rim .
Speaker 4I can give Will credit for that . Will Square up . Look at the rim . I can give Will credit for that .
Speaker 3Will is pretty fundamentally sound , but I want to see that a little bit more often man yeah from all the kids .
Speaker 2But that's because they don't see it a lot from the NBA . Oh yeah , you know what I mean . So now , as the game evolves in the big boys league , as young'uns we all look up to all those guys and be like , well , they don't do that anymore nearly as much .
Speaker 3Well , I'm going to tell them right now they better start watching NBA and watch college on the weekends .
Speaker 4Hey , I tell my kids I'm like you know watch the NBA .
Speaker 3Because a lot of college kids they still hit that triple threat man , that triple threat they're still being coached in college , tony , you're not taking away .
Speaker 2Taking away John Moran time from 1v1 . John Moran .
Speaker 4Yes , I am , you can sit there and watch his highlights or whatever , but don't watch these NBA cats hey they beat the Celtics . There's no fundamentals .
Speaker 3He had a crazy reverse dunk man .
Speaker 4Last night , John , oh yeah , I saw that that reverse , he had genes .
Speaker 2And you've seen his interview . He said he's not going to try to dunk as much anymore .
Speaker 4I mean , hey , it's kind of smart because look at all the cats that were like who ? First one that comes to mind is Rose .
Speaker 2Derrick Rose right , but they're so explosive like that it's rough .
Speaker 4But it's rough on their legs .
Speaker 4I mean I get it Like you don't have to , hey , but it's rough on their legs . I mean I get it Like you don't have to , hey . Everybody loves to highlight like real , do it , you know , pump the crap , but you know you don't have to do it all the time . You know , sometimes the older you get , they got to get smarter and think about their body in the long run . Because look what happened to Derrick Rose . I mean , hey , he went to the rack , I loved it , his I can name one person that didn't happen to Michael Jordan ?
Speaker 2No , it did happen to him , it's just father time catches up to everybody . Injury-wise . Every single time they go to the rack , they rock it . His name is Russell Westbrook . Yes , I love him .
Speaker 4Hey , I mean pick up the Russell man who's to say .
Speaker 3Pick up the Russ .
Speaker 4You want to be aggressive and blah blah . Hey , I mean Russell Westbrook's longevity , but he still plays pretty much the same way .
Speaker 3Number one , all-time triple doubles . Big up Russ , but big up the Jokic too . Man , Jokic is out there balling .
Speaker 2Oh to the Wizards .
Speaker 3They lost to the Wizards but I think he's like third all-time in triple-doubles man .
Speaker 4He's a center .
Speaker 3That's crazy .
Speaker 4Well , there's a lot of centers up there with triple-doubles yeah but not that high man .
Speaker 3They're down , maybe like 12th or 14th . This guy's at the top .
Speaker 4He's just amazing , his court vision .
Speaker 2There's no centers in the top 20 , except for him and Wilt Chamberlain . I think that's it , wilt .
Speaker 3Chamberlain and Jokic . Yeah , man , but we know records are always meant to be broken . We got the kid in college right now , gentry , he's got an opportunity to break Barry Sanders' all-time rushing .
Speaker 4Well , let's speak about that , that's good . We'll move on from that . Let's speak about the heisman race here real quick , and then we'll get to your scores or your , uh , you know , nfl picks lane . Yeah . So who great debate . Who should win the heisman ?
Speaker 3it's only sanders we'll start with you , chris and and gentry killing it , the only kid that plays the only kid that plays 90 of all snaps in his games .
Speaker 2That's ridiculous to me . Like maybe he's not the best at his position , but he's one of the two or three best and to play 90% of the snaps . Imagine like people are tired just playing one side of the ball . This guy's playing both sides of the ball and still elite at all of it . I definitely think Hunter .
Speaker 3I'll go next man , and and I'm totally gonna agree with my brother chris , I hate to do it to you , tony to be the eyeball man , but listen , gentry's having a historical season . Man , we all know about it less touches , more touchdowns , more yards than almost any back that we've ever seen come through college football . You want me to give you the stats , so hold on , get this . That's when I'm done talking , though , but I'm with Chris . I'm with Chris . Travis Hunter plays over 90% of the snaps . Man , 90% of snaps but performs on both sides . Man , just due to scoring touchdowns on offense , turns around , take maybe like one playoff and then comes up with an interception for you , man , I mean , that's just unheard of man . And , like I said , gentry is having a historic season but what Travis Hunter's doing is unheard of man .
Speaker 4I get it , guys , I get it . It's tough . So first , before I give my opinion , I'll give you Travis Hunter's stats . Okay , yeah , stats this year . This year he had 92 receptions , 1,152 yards , 14 touchdowns . Okay , what's wrong with them numbers ? Nothing at all . And then , gentry man , if it was another year , gentry would have this in the bag . This is tough .
College Football Heisman Discussion
Speaker 4So , gentry , stats this year 344 carries , 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns . What's his average per carry ? 7.7 yards a carry . All right , it's tough man .
Speaker 3But that's his set position , yeah just yeah , I got it . Yeah , we're talking about a dude . You gave us his offensive numbers . You didn't say nothing about his defensive numbers . How many times has he been thrown at this year ? What ? 34 times . How many yards has he given up ? Not a lot . How many interceptions did he have ? You , we're talking about a dude that's getting it done on both sides of the ball , man Right .
Speaker 4That's hands down .
Speaker 3I mean listen . I don't mean to piss in Gentry's cup of tea , but listen . Great season young man , but hands down the Heisman's going to T-Hunter All right , all right .
Speaker 4So we won't forget , because , like I say , he plays both sides of the ball . So Travis Hunter has 30 tackles , nine pass deflections , three interceptions and a forced fumble . How many yards has he given up Defense ?
Speaker 2And he's got pick six .
Speaker 3Yeah that man's might have gave up a little bit over 100 yards receiving this year bro .
Speaker 2It's because they learned after last year not to throw it to his side too much . This year Exactly .
Speaker 4Yeah , they learned who he was .
Speaker 2At the end of the day , though , there's some Heisman Trophy winners that go on to do nothing in the pros , and vice versa people that get snubbed , oh yeah . So I'll give my opinion . They've never given up a co-Hasman Trophy , have they ? No , no .
Speaker 4But I'll give my opinion . Of course it'll be close , but I have to agree with you guys . We'll go back . Travis , you play both sides of the ball like that , and at a high level , the college level , d-1? , d-1 . Okay , now , who was the last one to do that ? Charles Woodson .
Speaker 1Charles .
Speaker 4Woodson , charles Woodson .
Speaker 3He won .
Speaker 2Heisman Yep and won . He won it over Peyton Manning and Randy Moss .
Speaker 4Yes , because he was a difference maker as well .
Speaker 3I mean he didn't have the . Wasn't there a great running back too during that time ? Oh , I'm not sure that was up for that , heisman .
Speaker 4I'm sure Any other year he gets it hands down , like hands down . But when you got a special player like Hunter who plays both sides at a high level , I don't know how you can't deny that . Like how many snaps , you see a game 92 , 3 . It's like high , like he's barely out of the game . He's not tired . Yeah , he's just high , like he's barely out of the game , but he's not tired . Yeah , he's just different . Yeah , he's different .
Speaker 2So , stat-wise , I don't know what they're going to go by . Woodson's an all-time great , but I would rather have Peyton Manning or Randy Moss over him . But that could end up being the same way . Hey , Woodson was no slouch . Then he might end up being the guy everybody loves in the long run , but right now Hunter is that guy .
Speaker 4Yeah Well , I remember distinctively that . I remember , I don't know if y'all remember , but I remember distinctively that year Woodson tore it up . I mean , like you say , he was a game changer . I mean he was literally changing , getting pick sixes and what did he also do the third phase of the game . He was a punt returner . Also do the third phase of the game . He was a punt returner , right , so he even did . He was on special teams .
Speaker 3And then y'all got to also think of who's Travis Hunter's coach , though he did it also . He played both ways . Yeah , he played both ways . You know what I'm saying Like . So , man , big ups to that dude man .
Speaker 2Yeah , he's one of the best returners ever and he is the best cornerback ever .
Speaker 3Man , I don't ever see this dude get tired . I don't ever see this dude get cramps Like man . Look man , that dude's a warrior man .
Speaker 4He's an ultimate warrior . That's why he's got that . What is it the D for dog ?
Speaker 3on their jersey , yeah , and then still have the energy to do the dance on you in the end zone .
Speaker 1That's a lot got energy man , that dude be breaking it down every time he scores .
Speaker 4So yeah , I mean , hey , much love to Jetchy . It sucked , but he's going to do big things .
Speaker 2I mean , he might win it . I just don't think so . I think the hype is too hype for Hunter .
Speaker 4Yeah , it's a hard pick , we'll see . The only way I don't see Travis Hunter winning is just all the Colorado hate . You see how people are hating on DIF All the hate .
Speaker 3Yeah , I'm just here to say Gentry already got his award . Man , he got the best running back in college football .
Speaker 4He got that award , the Walker or whatever .
Speaker 3Yeah , just be happy with that man . Go make your money in the league . That's it .
Speaker 2He's first team All-American hands down , of course .
Speaker 3I see him being like a Christian McCaffrey in the league , though , Gentry .
Speaker 2I don't want to see that because McCaffrey get hurt .
Speaker 3Well , not that aspect of it , but you know what I mean , Jeez Chris .
Speaker 3All right , we're going to go ahead and move on . Get this thing wrapped up , man . All right , go ahead and move on . Get this thing wrapped up , man . Last week I was 62 on the parlay , week before I was 9-1 . So I mean , we're staying on that high end side , man . My losses . Last week I took the Saints over the Rams , which I lost , and then I took the Bengals to beat Pitt . So those were my two upset games , as I told y'all last week . But I should have just went with my gut instinct . But it happens , let's make some money this week . So this week I got the Saints over the Giants , I got the Steelers over the Browns , the Vikings over the Falcons , the Buccaneers over the Raiders , philly over Carolina , the Dolphins over the Jets , seattle's over the Cardinals and , of course , you know , the Chiefs are going to beat the Chargers . It'll probably be another cool thing . Yeah , it'll probably be a game-winning field goal .
Speaker 4There's got to be an upset in there somewhere . And the Jets got to win one eventually . Yeah , and can they keep losing ? The Jets , they got to win eventually . Who are they playing again ?
Speaker 3It's not going to help Miami . The Jets are playing Miami , but it's not going to help having . They might shut Brees Hall down for the season .
Speaker 2So he's not playing today . They might see him now play . They're talking about moving on from Aaron Rodgers .
Speaker 4Yeah , they might . Bench Rodgers , why not man ?
Speaker 2Here's the thing , that's a whole other topic . I'm not even upset . I got to go to work after this show . All the games I heard here's the two best games of the day Dolphins , jets , seattle and Cardinals . Like that's the best thing on a Sunday slate , I'm all right , I don't know .
Speaker 3I think one that's good on a slate Pittsburgh , cleveland , yeah , because that's a rival game . But I was going to say because he's facing his former team , I'm going to say Kirk Cousins and the Falcons .
Speaker 2Oh yeah , and the Vikings are balling , so yeah , they need Kirk to show up , exactly .
Speaker 3And Kirk's got some weapons . And I'll tell you somebody that really has not shown up , man , and this kid was an animal in college , Kyle Pitts . Where's Kyle Pitts been at man ?
Speaker 2Right . He had a good game once every 10 games .
Speaker 3Y'all can call me crazy if you want it , but throwing it in today , kyle Pitts scores two touchdowns . Ooh , that's a good one though . Kyle Pitts for two touchdowns today .
Speaker 4Tony , y'all got a bye . No , we play Monday night . Hey , tell the people we have the Bengals Monday night Dallas and Cincinnati .
Speaker 3Hey , tony , tell the people what you sent me Thursday , man , but I was at a Washington Wizards game Thursday and didn't even have time to put the bet in . Tony tells me Tim Patrick , on Thursday night , is going to score two touchdowns at a plus 6,000 . What does Tony not do ? Tony , don't put the bet in . What did Tim Patrick do , people ? He scored two touchdowns .
Speaker 4Hey , I can't take credit for that . That's our boy , Brian . Yeah , man , he's the brother out there that gives parlays and bets for people . So I was like man , I was going to play this and I didn't .
Speaker 3I just can't believe you didn't play it because you sent it to me , right ? Yeah , I forgot you know betting's not my top priority in life I think you would have won off a ten dollar bet what you would have won oh , you got like 600 , like 600 off every 10 , the odds of that off of every 10 , you would have got 600 , yeah , or 100 at least . So you would have won 1200 if you put a 20 point in there , yeah yeah , I'll stop .
Speaker 4I'm kicking myself right now . It's all good we're going in today , man , but all right , everybody , that'll wrap it up for , uh , brothers with opinions and everybody .
