Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey all, welcome in to Go Fight Win, the show
with all the high school football stories you love. My
name is Wes Blank and Chip and on this week's episode,
we will do what we do every week and take
a look at the high school football headlines from around
the country that made me smile, Starting with a high
school football coin toss undermined by a helicopter football drop off.
(00:21):
We'll get to the bottom of that. Plus a dynamic
all star name duo we love to highlight those, and
a funeral home gift card shout out to the player
of the week. It's not made up, it ain't Coffee Town,
It's real life sucker, and a rumored return of the
Friday Night Lights television series. What do we need to
(00:46):
see if it comes back? It's time for Go Fight Win.
Fix your eye paint, put that.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Water bottle down, Just playoff time. Just get the bottle
of Donnie Tug and let that pudge.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You know, Go Fight Win. Is a huge supporter of
Coach Douleie's list and Coach Dooley's List is a huge
supporter of Go Fight Win. My coach Billy Dooley coached
me at Collins Hill High School when I was a
freshman playing football for the first time ever, and he
(01:23):
was a young pup, young coach, just getting his feet wet.
But ever since then, he's launched an impressive high school
coaching career in football, softball, and baseball, and more recently
started a website called Coach Dooley'slist dot com. If you've
heard of Angie's List, then you understand the premise of
(01:43):
Coach Dooley's List dot com. It is an aggregated list
of all the best vendors, suppliers, producers surrounding high school athletics.
You know, if you're involved with high school athletics, how
many different things it takes. You need a lot of stuff.
You need a lot of equipment, you need a lot
of gear, you need signs, you need it all. Well,
(02:06):
Coach Douley'slist dot com has the trusted list of names
and vendors and dealers that you can trust. So go
check out Coach Douley'slist dot com. There's a link to
it in the show description. All right, let's start off
this week's stories. And I got to tell you some
weeks I'm just blessed where y'all just send me things.
(02:27):
I see them on social media, and I don't have
to go looking for him, hunting and pecking on Google
dot com to find the stories from around the country.
And this is one of those weeks. This is a
one hundred percent social media submission driven episode and I
appreciate y'all for sharing it with me. Continue to do
that at Go Coffeetown on X or at wes Underscore
(02:49):
in Ship at West Blanket Ship on X. This is
from Porter Ellot at Porter Ellot. His post went viral
and he posted here, my nephew is playing for the
state title today. Instead of a coin toss, they dropped
the game ball from a helicopter and let the captains
fight for it. Bring it to the league at NFL
(03:12):
and the video is really something to behold. It's less
than a minute long and wherever he is, it's chili.
This was posted on November sixteenth, and it is a gray,
cloudy sky. People are bundled up. It ain't down here
in my neck of the woods. I see some snow
on the sidelines. I don't know if this is a
recent video or not, but it did go viral this week,
so I'm going to talk about it this week and
(03:34):
you can see the chopper come in, It hovers right
over the fifty yard line, and then the ball just
gets dropped right out and the players scoop it up
and wrestle for it baby, right there at midfield. Now,
Porter does respond in his mentions that he was just
(03:55):
informed they do a traditional coin toss first, but he says,
get rid of that in by my idea, and I
gotta agree. If you have the budget to bring in
the chopper and drop the football out, make it like
a hockey. What do they call that? A puck off?
I think I don't watch a lot of hockey. But
they drop that puck and they fight for it. Well,
(04:18):
this is what you're seeing here in this video, and
there's a link to it in the show description if
you want to watch it yourself. But the team on
the sidelines is just juiced. Whether or not it's the
real coin toss, I don't really care, because it does
set the tone for this game. Helicopters are allowed. They
got a lot of power, a lot of juice in
(04:39):
that engine, and that's what you need before a high
school football playoff game. And this is the state title
according to Porter, So maybe it's just a special thing
that you just do for the state title. But one
way or another, man, I gotta co sign on this one,
because look, high school football players, they don't need a
(05:00):
to get excited. The threshold, the bare minimum for feeling
the juice and feeling the adrenaline before a high school
football game is pretty low. It's a low threshold to
cross over. You turn that up to one hundred with
a helicopter dropping that football out of the chopper, then
you're going to get maximum effort, maximum buy in, maximum
(05:24):
coachability from every single player on the field. So Porter,
thank you for sharing this, and if anybody else wants
to follow suit, then I think all of America would
thank you for it. Helicopter midfield football drop ins. That's
the future of the sport. Throw out the spread offense,
(05:48):
the shotgun all that. This is the future right here.
Bring back fullbacks and fire these babies up as your
state's high school Athletics Association budget allows, and you're gonna
have some happy campers. Now Here in Georgia they play
(06:08):
state at Mercedes Benz Stadium, but you could have a
similar deal here. You could have a someone drop it
out of the rafters, or you could open up the roof.
It only takes about twelve minutes to open and close it.
Open up the roof, have a chopp or fly overhead,
drop that ball in right in the middle, kind of
like Luke Skywalker and the Death Star. I mean, the
(06:32):
possibilities are endless for this, and after that you just
let the boys play. Then you know, you wade into
some murky water. Sure is the helicopter pilot dropping that ball?
Nose down? Is the pilot dropping it long ways? Are
the laces less aerodynamic than if you were to, you know,
(06:56):
spin a spiral out of the side. There are a
lot of variables at play. I'm no helicopter aerodynamics expert,
but I do know enough about high school football to
know that this would absolutely have the home stands of
any given stadium absolutely faces melted off if they saw it.
(07:17):
So good job Porter, good job whoever did this. And
he says that, he says they were ahead forty three
to six at half, So the helicopter worked for one
side and they kind of ran into the propellers on
the other side. All right. I had a submission into
my DMS on X from a young man named Martin,
(07:44):
and Martin sent me this screen grab Alexander Funeral Home.
This is a Facebook post. Alexander Funeral Home proudly recognizes
sophomore Braden Hass Hasse for being select it as the
Macon County Haskeu Player of the Week after the linebacker
(08:04):
made seven tackles for solo, recorded a quarterback sack, and
intercepted a pass in Tiger's twenty eight to fifteen road
victory over top ranked Upperman in the second round of
the Class four A playoffs. Hass in the Macon County
Hasku defense limited the Bees to a season low fifteen
(08:27):
points and seventy three rushing yards. Alexander Funeral Home presented
Hass with a gift card and recognition of being selected.
Pictured are from left, Alexander Funeral Home representative Craig Harris,
Hass and Tiger assistant coach Chris Eskimea. The Upperman Bees.
(08:51):
We do a little research here.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Where is that?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
What's state is at Tennessee? Up there in Tennessee. We
don't take these things lightly. We give a gift card
out from the funeral home by God and I tried
to zoom in on the image here. I don't know
what the gift card is too or for how much?
(09:14):
It says a hundred on it, but it looks like
that's saying like hundreds of something. So I don't know
how much the gift card was for. I don't know
what it is to. Is it a gift card to
the funeral home. I mean, they make gift cards for
anything these days, but you know, maybe you're helping out
(09:38):
a family member down the road. Just tuck that away
in the sock drawer and leave it in the will. Hey, kids, grandkids.
About sixty years ago, Alexander's funeral home gave me a
gift card towards the funeral home and dig it up
(10:00):
up out of the sock drawer. Please, it will give
us a discount on my cremation. I don't know what
it's for, but the message here that Martin sent me said,
there's something very coffeetown about this. Life imitates art, and
that is true. There was a coffee Town field go
(10:22):
that was sponsored by Jones, Holmes and Jones Funeral Home.
When you want to send your loved one through the
gold post of life, called Jones, Holmes and Jones Funeral
Home and we'll send them all to the Great beyond,
and Alexander Funeral Home is doing just that with their
players of the week. Really, whatever the local business is,
(10:48):
if they are running things in town, they're the ones
that kind of have the onus on supporting the high
school football players of the week. So good job to
Brayden Hass. Seven tackles and a sack and a pick.
He just buried him man. He hammered the nail in
the coffin over the Upperman Bees b The buzz is
(11:18):
dead thanks to Hass and thanks to Alexander Funeral Home.
If you have a good sponsor, you want to send
my way from your local touchdown club, local quarterback club.
That's what Go Fight Win is all about, those real
life coffee town stories that make you smile because the
(11:44):
loss of a loved one is painful to bear, but
Hasko football brings you laugh. My god, it does. Here's
a dynamic name duo out of Michigan. This is a
(12:05):
post from state champs mish on x exciting finish for
Saleine football. Down seven to nothing to Lake O'Rion late
in the fourth quarter, junior quarterback Tommy Carr connected with
fellow junior Lincoln Keys who made this sick one handed
(12:25):
grab and took it eighty yards for the touchdown. Car
and Keys connected on the two point conversion as Saline
beat Lake o'riyen eight seven on October twenty fifth, twenty
twenty four. WHOA, Now, I highlighted this because of the
name combo car and Keys. They got the ignition up there,
(12:51):
Michigan baby, big car state, Tommy Carr. I'm sure related
somehow to the late Lloyd Carr. Sorry, he's not dead.
I didn't mean late like he died. I meant former.
I apologize anyway. Cars are a big deal in Michigan,
(13:18):
Ford's primarily. But car and keys that's something that I
could not have made up on my own. In a
Coffee Town high school football game.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Car to keys, turn over the engine, Keys in the
end zone. Jingle them, Jingle those keys. That's a six
point play there for Saleine High School. Who's gonna go
for two and get to win? Keys and car? Car
(13:54):
and Keys.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm driving down the road to victory and Saline Haskoo
is gonna advance in the Michigan State playoffs. This one's
kind of going under the radar because Keys has a
remarkable catch and that's what is making the clip kind
(14:17):
of go viral here, But no one's really connecting the
dots on car and Keys being a name duo for
the ages. But that's what you get here at Go
Fight Win. That's the quality you come to expect week
in and week out. I saw another post that just
kind of popped p in my algorithm and to have
(14:38):
a quick hitter here, but Rocky Hidalgo coach Rock seventy
three posted after twenty nine years of coaching. I can
tell you that hugging your son after his last high
school football game is one of the toughest things I
ever had to do. For all you young coaches with
young boys, it doesn't get any better than coaching your
own son. And this is like a real life image
(15:02):
of a Friday Night Lights moment when the Billings will
least hug it out after that state championship defeat. That's
at Coach Rock seventy three. If you want to check
it out. I don't know I cared about it. I
thought it was pretty kind of stirred the heartstrings. Coming
up a rumor return of a TV series that pertains
(15:27):
to this program here, Friday Night Light's coming back talk
about it in a secon. All right, So Friday Night
Lights may be coming back to TV. You know, we
live in this reboot era. A lot of things coming
back from other sources, not a lot of original content.
(15:49):
Let's just have a sequel. Let's have a reboot, Let's
have a remake. Well, Puck Puck is a website, puck
dot News. Puck reported that the series may be coming back.
This is what Puck wrote about. I'm told Universal TV
(16:13):
has a bidding more going for a new Friday Night
Lights reboot series with the original team of director Pete Burg,
showrunner Jason Katims, and producer Brian Grazer all attached to return.
They've talked before about getting the FNL gang back together,
but this is a new project TV only and Kateams
is behind the pitch. According to two sources, it'll be
(16:35):
different characters, but still said in the world of Texas
high school football, maybe the QB one will demand an
nil deal. Three bidders thus far, so let's see if
it lands at the home platform peacock, or if Netflix,
which currently has the original series, or Amazon or another
platform steps up. What a mouthful. These streaming services are
(16:58):
out of control. I wrote a little bit over at
gocoffeetown dot com about what I would like to see
if the series comes back. I'd like to see the
Riggins family come back. You know, at the end of
the original series spoiler alert, Okay, Tim, Riggins and Tyra
(17:20):
appeared to be headed for a happy ending when the
original Friday Night Light series ended. Riggins wanted this simple life.
They cheers to each other, clinked their beer bottles together.
But you know, Riggins ain't living it in this universe
or any other universe that way. He's always going to
find some trouble. How many kids do Tim and Tyra
(17:41):
have at this juncture? Are they still together? Is Riggins
coaching some little league football? That's a storyline on you
to see. What about Buddy Garrity? Has he retired from
the auto sales business. Just think about a retired Buddy
Garrity with all that time on his hand. He doesn't
(18:01):
have any college tuition or child support to worry about.
Just a high school football booster. He's just a machine
at it. He's running the Touchdown club. He's buying influence
to assist whoever is coaching whichever Dylan program. He hitched
his wagon to I think Buddy Garrity needs to come back. Now.
(18:22):
What about Jason Street? Kind of a weird storyline after
he got injured. It was a compelling storyline in that
first season, but had some ups and downs trying to
conceive and playing wheelchair basketball. But by the end he
was a sports agent and he said he had a
(18:42):
toddler the last time we saw and he had another
one on the way. You know, you do the math.
Jason Street's son could be an up and coming high
school football quarterback, a little redemption story, redemptive arc. Does
(19:04):
Street have a sports agency that's rocking and rolling? Is
he's trying to land nil deals for these hot shot
Texas high school football players. I think an important thing
to consider is if they're going to reboot this and
it's going to be in the same universe, you need
to have some of these threads that tie them together.
(19:24):
And Jason Street's storyline, as weird as it was, if
he's an agent, his storyline could have a really really
strong tie in to the reboot. And then the last
thing that this series could need is a seasoned high
school football radio announcer in the booth. Need someone with
(19:47):
some passion, a lot of heart radio announcer who's seen
some things and won't be surprised by whatever the writers
cook up in the writer's room or with AI. Put
me on set, put me in that booth, Let me
bring that Coffee Town influence in there. Throw some curveballs
(20:08):
at me. I'll catch them, I'll hit them, I'll knock
them out of the park. That's enough here on go
fight win this week. I'm excited to see what becomes
of this Friday Night Lights reboot. Good Coffee Town Radio
have a cameo in the booth there at Dilon or
East Dealing or West Dealon or Central Dealing or North Daling.
(20:31):
You know they've expanded by now, but I've seen some things. Son,
I've seen a wild boar. Take Ashley hold out at
the knees and whatever Texas high school football has for me,
by God, you know I'm gonna talk about it. That
would be awesome. Y'all have a great week. Hope your
(20:52):
playoff teams win. If your teams are no longer in
the playoffs, well guess what. The journey to next season's
high school football playoff begins right now. God bless see ya.

We do a little research here.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Where is that?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
What's state is at Tennessee? Up there in Tennessee. We
don't take these things lightly. We give a gift card

That's what Go Fight Win is all about, those real
life coffee town stories that make you smile because the
(11:44):
loss of a loved one is painful to bear, but
Hasko football brings you laugh. My god, it does. Here's
a dynamic name duo out of Michigan. This is a
(12:05):
post from state champs mish on x exciting finish for
Saleine football. Down seven to nothing to Lake O'Rion late

(12:51):
Michigan baby, big car state, Tommy Carr. I'm sure related
somehow to the late Lloyd Carr. Sorry, he's not dead.
I didn't mean late like he died. I meant former.
I apologize anyway. Cars are a big deal in Michigan,
(13:18):
Ford's primarily. But car and keys that's something that I
could not have made up on my own. In a
Coffee Town high school football game.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Car to keys, turn over the engine, Keys in the
end zone. Jingle them, Jingle those keys. That's a six
point play there for Saleine High School. Who's gonna go
for two and get to win? Keys and car? Car
(13:54):
and Keys.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm driving down the road to victory and Saline Haskoo
is gonna advance in the Michigan State playoffs. This one's
kind of going under the radar because Keys has a
remarkable catch and that's what is making the clip kind
(14:17):
of go viral here, But no one's really connecting the
dots on car and Keys being a name duo for
the ages. But that's what you get here at Go
Fight Win. That's the quality you come to expect week
in and week out. I saw another post that just
kind of popped p in my algorithm and to have
(14:38):
a quick hitter here, but Rocky Hidalgo coach Rock seventy
three posted after twenty nine years of coaching. I can
tell you that hugging your son after his last high
school football game is one of the toughest things I
ever had to do. For all you young coaches with
young boys, it doesn't get any better than coaching your
own son. And this is like a real life image
(15:02):
of a Friday Night Lights moment when the Billings will
least hug it out after that state championship defeat. That's
at Coach Rock seventy three. If you want to check
it out. I don't know I cared about it. I
thought it was pretty kind of stirred the heartstrings. Coming
up a rumor return of a TV series that pertains
(15:27):
to this program here, Friday Night Light's coming back talk
about it in a secon. All right, So Friday Night
Lights may be coming back to TV. You know, we
live in this reboot era. A lot of things coming
back from other sources, not a lot of original content.
(15:49):
Let's just have a sequel. Let's have a reboot, Let's
have a remake. Well, Puck Puck is a website, puck
dot News. Puck reported that the series may be coming back.
This is what Puck wrote about. I'm told Universal TV
(16:13):
has a bidding more going for a new Friday Night
Lights reboot series with the original team of director Pete Burg,
showrunner Jason Katims, and producer Brian Grazer all attached to return.
They've talked before about getting the FNL gang back together,
but this is a new project TV only and Kateams
is behind the pitch. According to two sources, it'll be
(16:35):
different characters, but still said in the world of Texas
high school football, maybe the QB one will demand an
nil deal. Three bidders thus far, so let's see if
it lands at the home platform peacock, or if Netflix,
which currently has the original series, or Amazon or another
platform steps up. What a mouthful. These streaming services are
(16:58):
out of control. I wrote a little bit over at
gocoffeetown dot com about what I would like to see
if the series comes back. I'd like to see the
Riggins family come back. You know, at the end of
the original series spoiler alert, Okay, Tim, Riggins and Tyra
(17:20):
appeared to be headed for a happy ending when the
original Friday Night Light series ended. Riggins wanted this simple life.
They cheers to each other, clinked their beer bottles together.
But you know, Riggins ain't living it in this universe
or any other universe that way. He's always going to
find some trouble. How many kids do Tim and Tyra
(17:41):
have at this juncture? Are they still together? Is Riggins
coaching some little league football? That's a storyline on you
to see. What about Buddy Garrity? Has he retired from
the auto sales business. Just think about a retired Buddy
Garrity with all that time on his hand. He doesn't
(18:01):
have any college tuition or child support to worry about.
Just a high school football booster. He's just a machine
at it. He's running the Touchdown club. He's buying influence
to assist whoever is coaching whichever Dylan program. He hitched
his wagon to I think Buddy Garrity needs to come back. Now.
(18:22):
What about Jason Street? Kind of a weird storyline after
he got injured. It was a compelling storyline in that
first season, but had some ups and downs trying to
conceive and playing wheelchair basketball. But by the end he
was a sports agent and he said he had a
(18:42):
toddler the last time we saw and he had another
one on the way. You know, you do the math.
Jason Street's son could be an up and coming high
school football quarterback, a little redemption story, redemptive arc. Does
(19:04):
Street have a sports agency that's rocking and rolling? Is
he's trying to land nil deals for these hot shot
Texas high school football players. I think an important thing
to consider is if they're going to reboot this and
it's going to be in the same universe, you need
to have some of these threads that tie them together.
(19:24):
And Jason Street's storyline, as weird as it was, if
he's an agent, his storyline could have a really really
strong tie in to the reboot. And then the last
thing that this series could need is a seasoned high
school football radio announcer in the booth. Need someone with
(19:47):
some passion, a lot of heart radio announcer who's seen
some things and won't be surprised by whatever the writers
cook up in the writer's room or with AI. Put
me on set, put me in that booth, Let me
bring that Coffee Town influence in there. Throw some curveballs
(20:08):
at me. I'll catch them, I'll hit them, I'll knock
them out of the park. That's enough here on go
fight win this week. I'm excited to see what becomes
of this Friday Night Lights reboot. Good Coffee Town Radio
have a cameo in the booth there at Dilon or
East Dealing or West Dealon or Central Dealing or North Daling.
(20:31):
You know they've expanded by now, but I've seen some things. Son,
I've seen a wild boar. Take Ashley hold out at
the knees and whatever Texas high school football has for me,
by God, you know I'm gonna talk about it. That
would be awesome. Y'all have a great week. Hope your
(20:52):
playoff teams win. If your teams are no longer in
the playoffs, well guess what. The journey to next season's
high school football playoff begins right now. God bless see ya.
Texas Forever,
