Speaker 2 (15:36):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
What's going on is that we're sitting on this new
turf football field and at Chinese High School and Shiny
and Central play tonight, and you've allowed your band that
Simmons College is going to be the band of choice tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They're going to be playing tonight, so I wanted to
thank you for that. Chris Johnson sitting here that let
director is.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
The one telling me this morning that our band was
gonna be here, which has made my day. So I
just wanted to let you know thank you for letting
the bank and entertain the neighborhood.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Well, one of our missions is to build bridges into
the neighborhood. Simmons should not be a cloistered institution simply
on our campus, but we ought to have interaction with
our community to help lift our community. So whatever Simmons
can do in terms of our band, our scholars, our
(16:29):
counselors to help lift the community, that is our primary purpose.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Edition no good riv You've done a tremendous job at
Simmons College. If people don't know what, they need to
come and see us, I am going to be soliciting
people to help us continue to grow Simmons College up kentecht.
We have a first dormitory, we have our first cafeteria.
George Williams three meals a day. I mean, it's unbelievable
what you have done in the eleven years I've been there.
(16:54):
Van Consey, do you remember the little housing that we
used to stay in right by.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Oh yes, and it's something. It is amazing, what's happening.
And louisvillshe'll feel proud of her HBCU. I mean, there's
only a few cities in the United States that the
hosts in HBCU. In fact, the statistics are that point
zero zero, point zero zero five percent of the cities
in America have an HBCU. So Lexington may have UK,
(17:22):
but they will never have an HBCU. Cincinnati has the Bengals,
but they will never have an HBCU. Indianapolis may have
the Colts, but they will never have anyach HBCU. So
Louver has something that is unique, in something to be
proud of. And we're one of the fastest growing of
the one hundred and one HBCUs, one of the fastest
going percentage wise hpc us in the United States. You know,
(17:44):
HBCUs are just three percent of the colleges in America,
three percent, but we graduate twenty percent of all black
college graduates and twenty five percent of all steam graduates.
Of those who excel in Iience, Technology, engineering, and mathematics,
twenty five percent. Hell from just three percent of the
(18:06):
colleges in America. So we're proud of Simmons College. We're
thankful for the support the community has to give me
the Simmons and that we're excited about our band coming
out and during the halftime show, and I assure you
that you will see music and parading and our HBCU
(18:28):
been at its absolute best.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Exactly River.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We appreciate you calling in. Have a good morning. I'm
sure I see you something.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Thank you so much, man, Thank you good morning.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Just tell Gwenn Blackbun to give me a break. She's
really riding me hard.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
Just I just, man, I almost sell you. I'm gonna
talk to Gwenn, Okay for me, t take care of it, Bubba.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Thank you so Chris, Roger, let's get back to this game.
I hated to say this, but great. I'll get to
wait on after the break when you're looking at the
game Central one and two, Shiny two and one. First
time that you all ever played when you had a
better record than the Jackets, all the predictors have the Jackets.
Roger Crue coach, what do you think is gonna happen tonight?
Speaker 7 (19:12):
I think this is gonna be a a dogfight, okay,
And I don't think it has anything to do with
the traditions or the schools. I think it has everything
to do with the kids and the noise that we've
heard all week long from people like George.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Now, George, exactly the noise, big time bomb.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
They already, I mean, the players are ready to go.
They are more chomping at the bit than I am even.
I mean, they're they're asking for the smoke tonight.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
We're bringing smoke coachs Chris before I go to break,
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Are you gonna have crowd control? You've got all the
media coming. Tell them about who's coming to the game too.
Speaker 6 (19:52):

Speaker 5 (19:54):
We'll have a podcast that's gonna be in the press box,
stream in the game live, the fifty four Sports Network excellent.
Speaker 6 (20:01):

Speaker 3 (20:09):
George, You're gonna be here for the Louile Defender though, Yeah,
I'm gonna be here, definitely gonna be here, Derek for
the game. I couldn't miss it for nothing in the world,
you know, because, like I said, I was fortunate enough
to coach at both these schools, and I really like them.
I was telling coach about the lack of what we
had and then looking at the facilities now how they're
coming and how he's growing. I talked about the same
thing he's talked about, the academics. I think a lot
of parents get confused when they get They look at
(20:29):
records and they talk about what we are records this
and that, But what are you doing for the young
men when they leave this school? See, that's the most
important thing, Jae. We have fun talking about who's playing,
who's not playing, but what are we doing for our
young men when they leave a lot of parents don't understand.
If the coach out here getting young men scholarship, then
we should really support that program because that's the most
important thing. Where would they go after here?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
We started our women's program with Angel Thomas, graduated Simmons
I coach. She's an assistant coach now for the women's
team under Earl Ruffience.

I'm being honest with you, but it's fantastic where it's
Shiny High School. This is the Simmons College High School

You know, George is always saying, I'm soft. I'm probably
in the ninth grade. I'm in honest with you. We're
playing at Hayes Kennedy Park. I'm coming to the rim too.
Dunk on him, no question. This gentleman here, when I'm
telling you the white he files me so hard and
(22:29):
we roll probably twenty feet onto the street, I mean
street where cars are coming from the basket before we
both stopped. He gets up and looks at me. He's
a grown man now, firefighter like my son.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
This is the truth.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Inverted underd I think I hadn't.
Speaker 2 (23:19):

at the rim, and I'm it wasn't anybody.
Speaker 14 (23:25):
In between me and him.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
Me and the basket but him. I mean I was
the only one in between him and the baskets. And
I looked at me, Surely this youngster is not going
to the hoop. But he elevated. I waited till he
left the ground and I elevated. I met him George
above the ris, and.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
I've seen that elevation to the white. I know it's true.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I can test because I played against you when you
was a petuca.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
But anyway, I met the youngster above the rim, and
he was very surprised. And so what happened was one
of the nice One of the nicest people you ever
meet is his mother, Missus e Well. I ran into
her croger and she was in her car, and mysteriously

I said, but you're the one, I said. She said,
my son used to come home on Sunday night.

And we all thank you Handlod for what you did
for this young man. You know, I mean thank you hip.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
I know he had potencil. I know that the early
age he had potencil, he handled and I got to
give him credit. But when he came, you know, up
against a grown man such as myself, at such a
young age, I had to turn him away.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
See that's why this is what I grew up with.
Forget I love you later, brother, Chris. Later, Bro, what
do you want to get out before we bring on
a young man? You've got your quarterbacks sitting over here,

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Let's bring on Melvin Mitchell, starting quarterback for Shiny High School.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Coach.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
We're gonna throw it back to you because George Williams
has been trying to insult the young man not in timidate,
trying to intimidate timidate date, tell us a little bit
about your quarterback at china A School. Tell me a
little bit about him for I bring him on first
and foremost.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Melvin's our captain he's one of our and Jimmy Ganas
is the other captain, and he's a junior. So it
just speaks a little bit about his leadership, qual is
charisma around his teammates and the way that he leads
them in the school and on the football field. So
that's the most impressive thing about him, and the buy
(28:11):
end that I've gotten from from my two captain has
really done a lot to push our football team forward.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So I think very highly of Melvin. Excellent melvil walking
with these sports?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Ready? Are you good? Speak up a little bit, Melvin.
That's awesome, you cool, but speak up a little bit. Yeah,
we're excellent. Everybody's talking about sacking you and taking bringing
you down. But to catch, hard to catch, hard to catch?
I like that hard to catch George.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yes, sir, we've got Melvin Mitchell here. I want you
to treat him accordingly.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Like I told you, I support both schools. But you know,
my my blood line got around with the Jackets. But
I've coached down here and I like what Melvin's all about,
So you know, I wish him nothing but the best. Jared,
but uh, I feel bad for him to night. But
other than that, Melvin I got your back, baby.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Some other first thing, Let's tell me. Tell me a
little bit about your parents. Tell me what they do,
how you've got here, how they've raised you. Their names.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
So I've been living with my mama since I was little.
I think I just started. I moved in with my
dad about seventh grade. My mama ended up moving so
my uncle have passed away, so it was a little
hard time for us.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
So my people, my mama's.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
Out of the family, end up moving out of Louisville
to get away from all the violence. And I stay
here with the coaches to play sports, and I end
up moving in with my dad. So they raised me good,
though they always they on me hard about grades.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Every dame. Grades cannot be bad. They won't let me
play sports. Absolutely No, that's tremendous. That's tremendous. Appreciate.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What are you thinking about doing when you leave Shiny
what's some of your goals from leaving.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
I want to go to college to play, but at
the same time, I do want to get my academic
so I want to go to college for business.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Good degree, excellent.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Who's your favorite school?
Speaker 10 (30:02):
My favorite school Shiny College College u U C L
A l a man. Yeah, I took them down. That's all.
Now I used to love them. I took them down.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
First tonight's game. What are you all gonna have to do?
All the experts have Shiny winning this game, I mean
Central winning this game? Yeah, because I don't want I
don't want Central winning all. I I don't like the Jackets.
What do you think? What do you have to do
for Frank's and Spears and Spencer? What do you have
(30:39):
to do? Lombard two show that they're incorrect with their
a judgments.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
People have their opinions. That's like I say, we we
ain't really got to do nothing, but we continue playing
how we've been playing. I don't think they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You don't think they're gonna score.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
It's gonna be a shut out, Coach Coach Crows before
we go to break your starting quarterback just spoke that
it could be a shutout tonight against the Yellow Jackets.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
Well, that they're the ones playing the game, ain't.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
That's the truth, you know?
Speaker 7 (31:08):
So I'm I'm happy in the confidence there. It may
not have been here around here in a couple of years,
and I'm glad that they're believing in itself and they
play some good defense. And he's a he's a free
safety and the captain of our team, so if he
wants to hold him to a shutout, then.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Georgia, Yeah, jee, I think I think it's a fantastic
thing that the rivalry is really being restored. I think
that Melvin and them gonna really get to feel. I
hope that the crowd comes out like it used to
come out, and you will really see what we when
we kid about how we talk about how everybody loves
that program. I mean, like I said, et Centia, you
would have three generations come back to games, you know
what I mean. And that's the one thing we've lost
in the city. And I like how y'all restoring this rivalry.
(31:47):
And I think it should be a rivaly, and I
think people should come out here and understand it's only
a game. It's a rivalry between the schools. It's not
arrived between our neighborhoods. So let's come enjoy the game.
Respect these young men. And I would you nothing but
the m best. Melvine. Hope you wont test down short.

to the community is changing the perception of what the
community believes the school to be because I have great
kids here, I have great staff here. And one of
the things that we need in the West is for
the entire community to get behind the school and to
get behind what we're trying.
