Trying to put in perspective what it was like Friday at the Battle of the Birds.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
This is the Region one Sports Report with Brian York
on ninety nine to five The FAD.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's a Reason one Sports Report. It is a Monday,
August twenty fifth edition of the show. I'm Brian York,
and I hope you're doing well on this Monday. I really, truly,
genuinely do. We obviously have we have a lot to
talk about today and a lot of things to talk
about that to be honest with you, I just don't
want to some things I'm I'm tired of talking about,

(00:38):
but I don't want to have to read, you know,
talk about it again. But we have to. And that's
reality of the world we live in and of things
that happened over the weekend. And of course we'll get
into all the football games and all the things that
took place this weekend. But it's been a tough weekend
and it's been tough for a lot of people in

(00:59):
the Graves made Field community. It's been tough for a
lot of my friends, a lot of people that I've
gotten close with over the last you know, twelve years
of doing sports in Graves County. And to be honest
with you, it's been a tough weekend to process I spent,
you know, normally when we get ready to do to
do this show, and especially the Monday show of football season,

(01:21):
because you've got all the games on Friday, you've got
all the scores, You've got all the things that start
going through your mind that you want to talk about,
and you know, for two days, I'm thinking about, like,
how do I approach this on Monday Show? How do
I you know? Which game, which stat which score, what
are we going to talk about? What's the lead? Like,
you know, I spend two days basically processing that in

(01:42):
my in my head and then trying to figure out
how I want to deal with that on Monday Show.
A little bit different. Weekend, a little bit different. Two
days of processing Friday night, two days of trying to
process and figure out how we want to talk about
it and what we want to talk about with today's show.

(02:04):
And I've said this before, and it's it's always hard
to put into words, So I'll try to say it
again and hopefully explain it a little better than I
have before. There is a responsibility when you do this show,
like like you feel it. You feel a responsibility when
you're talking about games in the area that you want
to be always factually correct. You know, I never want

(02:26):
to get a stat wrong, a fact wrong, a score wrong,
a stat wrong, like you want to, you know, and
you're going to and you do. But you feel the
weight and the responsibility of making sure the information you're
disseminating is correct and to the best of your knowledge.
And then there's the other responsibility of I know that
when I say things that are of my opinion, that

(02:48):
those words can have weight too, and those words can
be uplifting and and help somebody you know, feel great
that we're we're being so great and talking positively about
about their game, their kid, their school, and those words
can have the weight that goes the other way that
if you say something negative, it can be it can
be a little crushing to people. So there there's always

(03:11):
that in the back of your head when you do
this show. There's a weight to what I say. It
may not be a big weight, it may not be
that important, but there is a responsibility to make sure
that you you say things that you know as intelligently
and accurately and honestly as you can. So that's what

(03:31):
I'm gonna do. So let's talk about Battle of the Birds.
And let's talk about you know, unfortunately, we're not talking
about the game. We're not talking about the play. We're
not talking about you know, Mayfield flexing is as Mayfield
usually does. We're not talking about, you know, anything Graves
did on the football field, where they struggled and where
they need to improve. You know, we're not talking about

(03:52):
any of that today. We're talking about about a ten
minute window, five to ten minute window where panic and
chaos and you know, and you listen. I want to
address this for anybody who has watched the video on
social media and goes, well, it doesn't look like a
lot of panic, Like if you weren't there, shut up,

(04:13):
you got no right to talk. You got no right
to tell anybody who was there how they're supposed to feel.
You've got no right to tell anybody who was there
and you weren't you know what panic is or what
chaos is, or you've got no right. You can't talk,
you cannot address it. Your opinion is invalid, so just
stop trying to share it. If you were not there,
let me just give you my first hand account of this,

(04:34):
and then I'll give you some thoughts. We're we're in
the fourth quarter. And from a broadcast perspective, you know,
we are at the point of our broadcast. We're getting
we're getting thumped. I mean, it's it's running clock time.
I mean Mayfield has put it on Graves County. And
from the Graves County broadcast perspective, we're we're in dad
joke mode. We're in like, you know, talking about plans

(04:57):
for the weekend and you know, where does Graves go
from here? Like we're in that part of the broadcast,
and so you're kind of in this very like we're
just trying to get this game over. Like it's over,
it's been over for a while. Let's just just pack
it up, let's get home, let's enjoy the rest of
the weekend. And again, from my perspective, I'm in a

(05:20):
part of the booth where all I see and all
I can see is the field in front of me,
the stands in front of me. I can see everything
to my right because we have a window to our right.
In fact, in the part of the press box we
were in, if you were walking in the gate up
top at the main concourse, then that's the window we had.
Was sitting right over that gate, looking right over the

(05:41):
concession stand and I could not see anything to my left,
I could see the field, I could see the end zone,
but anything on our side of the field, the home
side of the field, towards the stands, I could not see.
So I could not see the people. I could not
see people in the end zone. That where the cars
are parked, I could not see any that. And what

(06:02):
I could see all of a sudden was the Graves
County football team absolutely sprinting off the field, leaping a
fence full sprint and running into the wooded parking lot
area of the baseball field behind them. And the first

(06:24):
reaction I had, because you've seen this before, especially in football,
was as you start to see them running, was there's
a fight. There's a fight, and the players are going
towards the whatever. And then you see the bleachers and
you see people in the bleachers absolutely in panic. Across
the way, you see people parents grabbing their kids. And

(06:46):
I put this on Facebook, and this is real. You
see parents grabbing their kids and forcing them between the
bleachers and laying on top of them or laying beside them.
And we hear in the booth there's a shooter. Now
take a moment and let that sink in. We now
know what actually happened. We now know what took place,

(07:09):
where it took place, and what caused the initial panic.
But in that moment, in that moment, you don't know
what's going on. You watch people running away from one
area and toward another area as fast as they can.
You see people diving onto the ground or ducking behind

(07:31):
objects or hiding behind va and then you hear there's
a shooter. What do you think goes through your brain
at that point You don't know what kind of shooter,
but what when you hear there is a shooter? You
think of what you've seen on the news, what we

(07:51):
have unfortunately seen in this area. And there's a five
minute window where that's all that you think is happening.
And it's hard to explain. And I'm not trying to
make this about me. I'm just trying to share my
perspective since I was there. But it's hard to explain
what your brain and what your body is doing in

(08:13):
that moment. Because you can think you're prepared for that,
you can think that you are you know, like you've listen,
I'm not alone. I've mentally put myself through those exercises.
It's the world we live in. You show up somewhere
and you kind of have a thought of what if
chaos ensues, and what do I do? And where do

(08:34):
I go? And what's my exit strategy? And like, those
are those are real thoughts, those are real things that
people have prepared for. And there's a five minute period
where your brain has gone to the worst place because
the information you have is what I just said, and
you're seeing the panic, and you're seeing people running, and
you're seeing people diving, and and your brain is telling

(08:57):
you that this this thing is real, that there's something
really bad happening. Thankfully not you know, it could have
been worse. Obviously it was not great. It was not good,
but thankfully not to what my brain and where most
of our thoughts had went. But for five minutes you're there,
and then word starts to spread. It was a shooting incident,

(09:20):
it was two people, like we were quickly getting that
information and you realize it was not what you initially
thought it was, and you're thankful for that, but then
you're still scared. You're still there's still a part of
you having trouble processing this thing just happened. Within arm's
reach of a few thousand people, and to be honest,

(09:42):
you're at least I was still having trouble processing exactly
what was happening, even though you're being told what had happened.
Those are watching people run like that dive and the bleachers,
watching parents grab their kids in panic, watch kids watching
the terror on kids' faces that I saw up close,

(10:05):
that were around us, hearing that there was a shooter,
hearing the sirens. That is not the sights and sounds
and the fills and the experience of Friday night football
we had all look forward to for the first game
of the season. Having a moment, even if it was

(10:26):
just a moment where you did not know if you
were safe, where you did not know what was going on,
That's not something anybody should ever have to experience, especially
in a place like that that should be a fun, safe, enjoying,
enjoyable environment. And I hate it. I hate it for

(10:50):
those players. That is not a memory you should have
of your football playing career. You should not have a
memory of having to leap a fence and sprinting as
fast as you can go toward what you could only
hope with safety, because again, they're told there's a shooter.
They're told to get off the field quickly, and that's
all that they're told. I cannot imagine that feeling. I

(11:11):
cannot imagine now that being a memory. You know, we
all try to have fond memories of our playing days,
and we all talk about this game, in that game,
and remember when that's going to be those players from
now on. And even though they now know they were
safe in that moment, they did not. And those cheerleaders
and those parents who I'm sure felt helpless, parents who

(11:35):
were separated from their kids. In those moments, you brought
your family to what you thought was going to be
a safe environment, and for a again a moment, it
was not. It's hard to process that. It's hard to
put into perspective, into words what that felt like and

(11:56):
what that was for those that weren't there and for
those that were, I'm sorry, and we'll talk about what
happens from here and what we hope to happen from here,
but I'm sorry that anybody had to deal with that.
We got to take a break, we got more. This
is Region one.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
What sports throwing along here on your Monday edition of
the show, talking about the incident at Battle of the Birds,
and oh look, we're going to get to the other
things that happen to the region. They deserve attention, They
deserve to be talked about. This show deserves to be
as normal as possible today. But for just a few
more moments. Uh, just talking about Friday. A couple of

(15:00):
things made me mad. Friday one is And I said
this earlier, if you weren't there, don't tell people how
they should feel, right, because if you weren't there and
you hear, well, somebody was shot out in the parking lot,
and you know, like, oh okay, everybody, But like they'll
tell people how to feel because I told you there's

(15:22):
a five minute window at least, and listen, I don't
it might have been longer for other people. Because I
was fortunate to be in a position and to have
a job where that information probably probably reached me much
faster than other people. There's a moment again where that's

(15:42):
we were not okay, you're not okay. The other thing
that angered me was when people watch the video and
they go, well, doesn't look like there's a ton of panic.
It looks like a lot of people were kind of calm.
And again, we did not know what was going on.
A lot of people were just did not know what
was going on. They hadn't heard anything. So again, you

(16:05):
weren't there. I just just stop, hold your tongue. And
when somebody says they were afraid, trust that they were afraid.
When somebody says that this has shaken them up, that
it has. You know, I was telling somebody yesterday and listen,
I'm not a doomsday prepper. I don't have a bunker

(16:26):
and and and mills and things like that. But you know,
I'm somebody that the older I get and and having
kids and the family and and things. You know, I'm
a hunter. I own guns. I can still carry you
know I have. I'm that guy, and I believe you.
You practice to stay safe. You know, you don't just

(16:46):
go to the range and and and and practice your marksmanship.
You you do it in a way that would be
a real world situation. You know, I watched, I admit
I watched videos of people telling you how to survive
these things. I watch videos of people showing you how
to and when you're in an unsafe neighborhood, how to
stay safe, when you're you know, in a in a

(17:09):
parking lot, how to intern exit your vehicle in a
safe mann Like, I've I watched all this stuff. I
want to know. I want to I just want to
feel safe. I guess maybe that's what I'm looking for.
And so you think in your mind that that, Okay,
I've studied this a little. I've I've tried to prepare
for this a little. I think I'll be okay. You

(17:29):
don't know, you don't know, because I'll just fully admit
there's a five been at window. And I keep going
back to that that I did not know what to do.
I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where
to go. I didn't know where I should go. I
didn't know if I should go anywhere. And I wasn't alone.
I've talked to other people who said the same thing.
They just they weren't sure exactly what to do and

(17:53):
how they should handle themselves. I've talked to other people
since then who have told me the same thing. I've
told other people. I really don't know how I'm supposed
to feel right now. When you get word it's okay.
When you get word of what happened, When you get
word that, you know, hey, everybody, you know you can
go home like you're good. Police are on the scene,

(18:16):
they're taking you know, everything's going to be gonna be fine.
You feel that a little bit, you feel a sense
of relief. Don't get me wrong, But in the aftermath
of that, I'm talking to football coaches who are as
tough as it comes, and I'm seeing how shaken they are.
I'm talking to other parents and who had their kids

(18:38):
at the game, and I'm seeing how shaken they are.
And I had all my equipment packed up and I
get it back to my truck and and I'm fine.
Like like, there's a moment, you know, there's a five
to ten minute period in the in the immediate moments
of it happening and going down and people running, and
that you're adrenaline kind of takes over and you feel

(19:01):
you're on this adrenaline high and you feel, you know,
your fight or flight kind of kicking into high gear.
And then you kind of come off of that and
you feel, you know again, Like I said, now, I
feel safe. I feel fine, Like Okay, we all had
a scare, but thankfully that's what it was, was a scare.

(19:23):
And I'm fine. I feel fine, and I get to
my truck and I get all my stuff put in
my truck and I feel fine, and the moment I
close the door, and I'm trying trying to feel fine now,
but the moment I close the door, I'd be lying
if I said, Look, I pride myself, grew up on
John Wayne and Andy Griffith, and you know, men don't

(19:45):
talk about their feelings. And I get all that when
I closed the door of my truck just to walk
around to the other side to get in the driver's side,
and I didn't make it. I didn't make it. I
felt to the ground, not all the way. I fell
to my knees and I started to cry, and I
started to pray, and it just overwhelmed me. It did

(20:07):
I had. I didn't feel like I was in control
in that moment. I just knew that, I knew I
needed to let my emotions out a little bit. I
just felt that, I felt that, you know, I need
to this. This is how I need to process this
for me, and and I and I cried, and I prayed,

(20:29):
and I don't know what I prayed. I don't remember
the words. I just knew I wanted my voice uplifted.
I just knew it needed to go from from my
mouth to his ears. And there there was something comforting
in that, absolutely always is. But it's it's strange to
go from okay, you know, the emotional ride of something

(20:54):
dangerous is happening, questioning in mine danger, Am I okay?
What do I need to do to be okay? Realizing
you're okay, realizing it's all it's all gonna be okay,
and then having that all kind of hit you at
once and all come out the way that it did.
I pray, I just I just pray no one ever

(21:19):
has to experience that again or ever. In the first place,
I'm a Marshall County and that's where I grew up,
that's where I live. I bleed blue for my Eagles,
but but my home has always been in Marshall. I
was in eighth grade when the Heath shooting took place.

(21:40):
I remember we were at a at school the day,
you know, when you find out about it at school
and you're you're trying to process that because you know,
for us, that's that hit home right, like that's I'm
at Marshall County. I met bit in middle school, but
but Heath High School and we just played them in football.
We just like you know, we're I think we had
a basketball game against them, like a few weeks later.

(22:01):
But I still remember, of all the things that I
could remember and have forgotten, I still remember those fieldings.
I still remember that that pretty vividly. And then, like
I said, I'm a Marshall guy. We had an incident
and a shooting and a tragedy at Marshall County High School.
And even though I didn't have kids there, I had
friends there. I had friends who had kids there. I

(22:22):
had cousins that were in school there at the time.
But you go back to your own experience of how
many times I've been in that commons area, how many
times I had been in that cafeteria, and that does
have an effect on you to think through that and go, man,
I can't imagine. I can't imagine, and so to go
through something like that Friday night, even for a brief moment,

(22:45):
even for just a brief moment, that should not be
a reality any of us have to face. We take
our families to these games, we take our families to school.
These should be safe places that we should be able
to feel safe, that we should let our kids run
around unattended and be kids. It's a great joy of
growing up. My favorite memories of going to games when

(23:07):
I was a kid was running around with my friends
and throwing a football and we need to know what
was going on with the game. We were just having
fun being kids at the football game on a Friday night,
care free. Those kids got robbed of that. Think about that.
There are kids who got robbed of that who are
going to have a hard time feeling safe going to

(23:28):
a game in the future. Parents who for at least
the foreseeable future, are not gonna let their kids out
of their sight and may not even take their kids
to a game for a few weeks. Robbed of the
joy of it being football season. That's what happened Friday night.
That's the aftermath. The aftermath is collect recollecting yourself and

(23:51):
trying to find any kind of normalcy that you can
find that has been taken away from people for at
least a while. Some may be ever, I pray not.
Some it may be you know, forever. But but for
a lot of people, and a lot of people I've
talked to this weekend, I can tell you this. There
are a lot of diehards who I've already been told

(24:12):
they just don't think they can be at the games
for a few weeks at least, don't want to take
their kids. So even though it turned out to be
what it turned out to be, the effects of that
are are still lingering and will linger for a while.
And it has robbed people of what should be joy

(24:37):
and what should be fun, and what should be their
Friday night escape to go do something they've probably always
loved to do that right now they just just can't
get themselves to do it. Tailgating all of that. I
don't know how that affects all of that, but it's
going to have an effect on it. That's what we've

(24:58):
been robbed of. Those again that were there. If you weren't,
maybe you've got safety in the back of your mind,
but it's in the back of your mind, it's in
the forefront of a lot of people's minds as they
go forward. We got to take another break and we
come back. I promise we'll move on as we should.
This is Region.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
One Region one Sports. We know local because we are local.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Region one Sports. I promise we're gonna move on. One
thing I do want to share again before, because I'll
be remiss if I don't. You know, Friday night for
Battle of the Birds, it's a community divided and listen,
those two schools hate each other. Those yeah, those fan bases,
they really don't get along. But it was a night
where you know, they're honoring, you know, a person from

(25:59):
each side who's battling cancer, who means a lot to
those communities that they're they're they're rallying around and trying
to support financially, emotionally, spiritually. You know, it was a
night of that. It was just, you know, there were
so many things that that night was representing that just
had gotten completely ripped away by what ended up taking

(26:20):
place at the end of the game. And there's also
amazing things that kind of take place during that So like, listen,
I've only got the Graves perspective. That's where my focus was.
That's the people I talked to. That's you know, when
you when you're talking about these things, the stories that
get back to me, Uh, don't come from the mayfield side.
I'm not on the mayfield side. I'm sure great things happen.
I'm sure their players were phenomenal. Their coaches jumped into

(26:42):
action just like anybody expected them to h and could
ask of them. Lots of great things there. But just
again the perspective I have. You know, there was obviously
you see it in the video and a lot of
people have praised him. But a player being injured for
Graves and one of his teammates coming and grabbing him
and basic man handling him to get him off the

(27:02):
field to safety, that's that's incredible in that moment, running
into the unknown danger to help a teammate. There was
some reports that a couple of players had had went
into the stands to their parents and to their mom
and whatever and and and try to make sure they
were safe and help them to safety. Jase Houston, the

(27:25):
quarterback for Graves, there was a report and I heard
this early in the night, like this was early Friday,
night when I heard this one that as he was
going to the area that the team was going, there
were a couple of kids who were there alone, scared,
and that he you know, kind of grabbed them to
to pull them into his side and stayed with them

(27:48):
until they could he could find an adult that could
help them. So all this is going on, all the
things I told you that we're trying to process in
those initial five or ten minutes, and we don't have
the information to even process what's going on. And these
are the things that are happening, remarkable, remarkable things that

(28:09):
you're hearing. And I'm sure we'll continue to hear from
those those kids and those players and those people that
were at the game. And then the last thing I'll say,
and you know, I told you there were things that
were making me mad that I was reading online again,
people who are trying to downplay the panic, People who
were trying to downplay that it was chaotic, People who
were trying to like nobody's you know, you weren't there,

(28:31):
you don't get to talk about it. I just keep
going back to that, Well, apparently we've got a lot
of people who have law degrees that they're not using
because they're mad over what he's been charged with, what
he wasn't charged with. He should be charged with the
timpted murder. Why is it first degree assault? Why aren't
the cops doing this? Why aren't the lawyers? Like, take
a breath. I can assure you wholeheartedly that the prosecutors,

(28:57):
that law enforcement, that that they want justice done, and
they know more than we know. And if through their
investigation they are able to, you know, feel confident in
proving other charges or you know, higher level charges or whatever,
I'm sure they will. But take a breath. Take a breath,

(29:20):
Let them do their job, let them round everybody up,
let them take care of this the way they need
to take care of it. That's what we're asking for
in all of this. Take a breath. You weren't there,
and if you're not a lawyer, set this one out.
Let it all play out. We can all play Monday
morning quarterback when all of this is done. In the
process of it being done, we don't have the details.
They do. Let's let them do their jobs. So I'll

(29:42):
leave it at that, all right before we close the show,
because we are coming to the end. I told you
it's just there's no good transition from from Friday Night
to the other things going on, and they deserve, they
deserve to be mentioned. There were a lot of good
games Friday night. There was a lot of good scores

(30:03):
and a lot of things that happen, and to be honest,
we just don't have time to deep dive into that today.
Now sorry, we'll deep dive into it on Wednesday, but
let's at least go ahead and look at what we
can look at with the scores and things that took
place over the opening weekend of the high school football
season in our area. So you had not Battle of

(30:28):
the Birds, which does officially end with a forty to
seven score, Mayfield on top of Graves County and we'll
talk about this game more later. You had Rumble on
the River. Paduka Tilman beat McCracken County sixty three to
twenty eight. I thought for a long time McCracken held
their own and did some good things in that game.
And Paduka Tilman is still really good. You had Calloway

(30:48):
County winless a year ago, snapping a long windless streak
and beating us not out of Webster County sixty two
to nothing. That Calloway County. How about Marshall County. I
told you if Marshall County is gonna get over that
three win hump, they're gonna have to get some wins
in the early part of the season, and they do.
They host Critney County and they win that game forty

(31:10):
two to twenty nine. Todd County Central beat Ballard Memorial
thirty two to twenty eight. Lease in Tennessee beat Fulton
County forty two to thirty eight. A close one there,
and a big one for Murray High. They go on
the road to a very good Apollo team and they
put up a whipping forty eight thirty four. I think

(31:31):
we talked last year about Murray's defense at times could
be a little worrisome, but their offense, there's no worry,
No worries there none. Forty eight thirty four, Murray over
Apollo again. Don't have time to deep dive. Let's just
kind of do a rapid reaction. First of all, congratulations
Callaway County. I can't say it enough. Holy Cow, A

(31:53):
winless season, a culture change, a coaching change, and you
end up getting the win sixty two thing over Webster County.
Just to win you end up with a blowout. That's amazing.
Then you've got Murray going on the road to Apollo.
Apolo's got one of the best offenses, one of the
best quarterbacks in the region, and you beat them forty
eight thirty four. Can't say enough there, can't wait to
deep dive in those stats and read the article. And

(32:15):
then Marshall County perennially a three win team. For as
long as it is you can say three win teams.
We talked about if you're gonna get that win, if
you're gonna get over the hump, you're gonna get to
that fourth, fifth, sixth win of the season. You've got
four weeks to start the season. You've got to get
some wins. Credey County a good football team, a four
win team from last year, but a good football team
with some good playmakers, and you take care of business.

(32:35):
So my initial reaction is I think I predicted all
those wins. I ended up being correct. Thank you for that.
And it was a good night of football across the
region for everybody that wasn't at Battle of the Birds.
And that's about as deep as I can go today. Sorry,
Shorter show got into the weeds more than I wanted to.
Ramble more than I wanted to, I'm sure, but had
to process that and get that out. That'll do it
for today. Back on Wednesday with a deep dive and

(32:57):
a lot more giving these teams and these players they're due.
Until then, this has been Region on Sports
