and Shepherd Realders.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And here's your host, Jeff Seede Bler, head football Coach
Burt pat.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
W Moe and the Molar Broadcasting Network present the Burt
Bathyni Show featuring the head coach of Moller Football Bert Bathyani.
The show is sponsored by Comy and Shepherd Reeltors and
I'm Jeff Schneedle with the Molar Class of nineteen eighty
four and also with Comy and Shepherd Realtors. Able to
handle all your real estate needs locally, regionally, nationally, even globally.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
How about that globally?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
How are we doing?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
What are you selling globally?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, Dave, well, not me, but I connected with other agents,
level agents, so we've got a great RELO program. But
speaking of RELO, we relocated on Saturday, went up to
Cleveland and played and coach uh just didn't just didn't
have a good game.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Not our best effort, I mean, not our best performance whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The effort was it seemed the effort was.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It just seemed like we just didn't have it.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, just you know, there's no excuse for what we
put out there, and we gotta get better. We got
to guys in and improve, And so that was the
mindset this week. And I thought we had a good
week of practice and ready to get the Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Coach and we'll talk about the game here in a minute,
but you know, we talked about early in the season,
we haven't had it happen where we got behind, you know,
by multiple scores. We were down fourteen to nothing in
two games and thirteen to nothing in another. And yeah,
I mean there was no panic and there's no like
no need to panic. Did that give us kind of
a little false sense of security that we've been there
and it's like, you know, we'll get it eventually.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I mean, I don't know such a I think there's
such a momentum changing swing on Saturday with the putt
returns and stuff like that. Just in all three phases
of the game, I didn't think we performed to the
level that's expected. I thought we played inspired football on
defense in the second half. But you spot a team
twenty one points and I could take anything away from them,
(02:13):
but that's just something you can't do. Like, those mistakes
are critical and they can be fatal, and you give
up two punt returns for touchdowns, and really it's just
a lack of execution. I mean, you're you're in a
tight putting situation inside your five yard line and you're
supposed to kick it to the sideline and you kick
it in the middle of the field right like that.
That cuts down on your coverage. That's a critical mistake,
(02:35):
and that's something that's is emphasize every single week in practice.
We practice that same situation and then you punt it
and you pin them inside the ten and then you
miss three tackles on a really good player. You can't
do that. So hopefully it's a wake up call and
we're going to regroup and get better and refocus and
get better at the details and the fundamentals of And
(02:56):
sometimes that's a good thing, is to refocus and get
back to those base things that help you get to
where you were in the beginning. But we got to
lock in and get better at those things.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Coach, hard to believe it's already week ten, Yep, We'll
we'll talk about that also later. But you know, I
know the kids have been grinding it for a long
long time. I mean, my thought would be as maybe
that week off would be very, very beneficial to get
everybody kind of refreshed.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, you'd like to think so.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think, no matter what comes, you're gonna make the
most of it. And you got to handle your circumstances
whatever they are, and your resiliency's got to be greater
than the resistance. So whether or not you have the
bye week or not, we got to go play an
opponent at some point in the playoffs and we have
to have our best week of practice that week in
preparation for that.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
All right, coach, let's take a break.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Then we're gonna come back to talk about last Saturday's
game against Saint Edward. The Eagles and the Crusaders teed
it up on a beautiful day in Lakewood. We'll come
back and talk about that in our first segment. As

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Go big mo.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Welcome back to w MO OE and the Molar Broadcasting Network.
As you're listening to the Bird Bathyany Show, which features
the head coach of Moler Football, Ubert Bathyanni. Show was
sponsored by Comie and Shepherd Reeltors, and I'm Jeff Schneiedel
with Comy and Shepherd Realtors, but also with the class
of Moeler nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Coach.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Great day.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I know you always make fun of me about the weather,
but man, it was a beautiful day, and especially up
in Lakewood. You'll take a day like that because I've
been up there when it's been fifty mile an hour winds, driving, rain,
just cold, not fun to be there.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
It was a great day.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, I think Craig Lindsay said that was the nicest
day he's seen up there in thirty one years of
being an athletic trainer.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So makes people want to those almost move there. Yeah,
but don't be fooled. That might have been an anomaly,
just kind of like the outcome. But coach, you know
Saint Ed's you know, we kicked off to him and
I guess we kicked into the wind and they had
a really a strong drive that they just took it
to us, took it right down the field and punched
(05:51):
it in. It just seemed like, you know, we just
couldn't stop him on that first drive.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, a ton of explosive plays and a ton of mistakes.
I mean the first play they run, you know jet
sweep to the field and you have it fitted up
correctly and he has nowhere to go, and then he
cuts it back and makes it, breaks the tackle, breaks
another tackle, and that's a twenty yard game, right, And
then that's a momentum changing play just off the jump.
We got to be able to get the ball down
(06:17):
on the ground when you fit it right. You work
so hard to get lined up and to fit that
play correctly, and then now you get there, you got
to make the play. Like you have to make the play,
So at that point you got to get the ball
on the ground and make that play. And then now
it ends up being the TfL and they're behind the
sticks and they got to throw the ball or try
to get half back in the run game, and that
(06:38):
just changes that dynamic. So when we're in that position
to make a play, it's got to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Coach, you know, Zach Ackleman, he had a great game
against US, yeah, last year, And I don't know if
he's playing like like he does against mull Or High School,
because if he played ten games against Muller High School,
he'd be All American status. He was outstanding last year.
I remember he had a tremendous catch ball going out
of the end zone.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then he kind of started things off at that
sixteen yard I guess it was.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
A just reverse.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It was reversed, so counterbluff reverse.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And he he took that in and and that kind
of just started things. And then you know, my thought was, Okay,
this is going to be one of these forty two
to thirty eight games, and let's let's just let's get
it start rolling. We didn't get it going uh early
on and then uh then we punted and ironically, I
(07:29):
know you said about the punt being in the middle
of the field, it looked like their star running back
Brandon White just like misjudged it and it kind of
he didn't field it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It goes back to backle Man. He was.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
It was a windy day, so that was that was
part of the plane going into it. So the thought
process at the coin flip was, if we win, we
want to defer like we always do, and we want
to kick into the win. They try to have the
win in the second quarter right for a long field
goal in case that happens right right, We've had two
games where a feel goal mattered at halftime where we
talk about trinity. They gave us momentum and then say
(08:04):
next it gave us momentum. So that was the thought
process there. So we kick off. We tried to skykick,
not as far as we wanted. It probably played into
the wind a little bit too much. So they had
not great field visits, but they better than what you
wanted them to have. And then they go down and score.
They kick off to us. I think it was a
touchback right because it was it was so windy. Yeah,
(08:25):
so we get the ball. Then now we go through
and out, we punt it to them, they get good
field position, and then they punt to us and it
goes inside the five, right, So the I think that
the decision and that's not my decision, is you know,
playing for that win in the second quarter, you ended
up backfiring a little bit because now we punted into
the wind and I think it like kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Hung up there a little bit for their return.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It didn't really hit right, and then it bounces in
the Hackelman's hand in the middle of the field. We
got to a better job with our coverage and and
get into our lanes and playing with leverage, and the
guy who's our contained guy cuts inside, which we can't
have that happen. We got to stay outside and force
it to our help. And you give a great player
of the ball in the middle of here with space.
That's not what you want to do. So a fundamental
(09:10):
critical era on our part where we as coaches got
to do a better job of getting our guys to
execute that play a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Gosh, I wish Brandon White would have scooped that ball
up because it seemed like we probably would have had
in Kim contained.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Between the two of them.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And then on their kickoff return with number four, they
got three dynamic guys that can take it to the
house at any time.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And so as the game progresses and you know Hackleman again,
he has the punt return, and then the second punt return,
which was also in the first quarter, it seemed like
it went down like towards the corner, almost like we
got him and pinned back.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
It seemed like that was good.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Our punt team executed the play exactly how.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
They needed to until the tackle just didn't make the time.
We didn't make the tackle. We had three shots at him, yep.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
We had three shots at them. We just you missed
the tackles. And you have guys, but I mean, Carter
Matthews is busting his tail down there and he's an
interitory line. You don't expect him to make the tackle
there right like he's he makes him cut into the
sideline with his effort, which is exactly what should have happened.
Really good effort on his part. And then we missed
a tackle, right like we gotta be able to get
(10:18):
the ball on the ground in their situations. Right, That's
a critical fundamental part of football is tackling, and we've
we got to get better at we have to improve.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So that was a point of emphasis this week.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So we got tackleman three times twenty one did nothing
and then you know what, we had a we had
a pretty good drive. We just we didn't score a touchdown,
but we took over half of a quarter in the
second quarter. And then was there any thought of going
forward there on fourth down or you just wanted to
get points on the board.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, there's always a thought, I want to get points
on the board. Like we had the win in our back,
we had Malabar, he's been doing a great job. In
my mind, it's like hey against saying against Trinity, we
were down fourteen to nothing, I've got a field goal
that momentum and you know you get it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
But just critical errors again.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I mean, we were moving the ball like Matt, like
the drive before Matt throws a shot the land and
Landing makes a great catch and we're rolling and then
Matt makes I think two scrambles.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
They get the.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
First down and we have a first down. Then a
receiver lines up wrong, we get it. We get a penalty, right,
it can't happen like critical mistakes in a base formation.
So now instead of going first and ten, we're first
and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And then especially against a team like just unforgiving, you.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Can't do that, and that that all falls on me.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
That's not that's that's my fault, right, Like we we
obviously didn't coach it well enough to where you don't
coach it to get it right. You coach to where
you can never get it wrong. And we got it wrong,
so that that falls on me. So that put us
behind the sticks. And then that's how they got that
second punt return. Then we get the ball back, we're
driving and another fourth down, like good job by the
(11:54):
Christian Harrison Kuzo getting that fourth down on that on
that fourth and two, I believe, And we're getting down
then we have a chance to score and you know,
we drop a ball right Like we had like fundamentals
in the game, we didn't execute the fundamentals. And that's
that's the most disappointing thing that you know I took
away from Saturday, and that again that all falls on
(12:15):
me and our staff.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
We got to coach it better.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Coach so we get on the board it's twenty one
to three. It just seemed like, I mean, the effort
was there, and I think, as you've been alluding to,
it's like one misstep, one misfire by one player on
a given play, and it just messes everything up.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And we just.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
To our credit, we haven't had like a sequence or
long series or long quarters where we just haven't where
we've gotten out of sink. It just seemed like we
weren't in sync, if that makes sense. You know, It's
not like we weren't trying. It just seemed like it
just it just we just couldn't get everything to zipper up.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, so we got to clean things up.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And you know, when you play, that's right when you
have eleven guys on the field, right, Like, it takes
eleven guys doing their job right, Like, so sometimes they
can just take one guy doing their job and you
can make.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
A great play, because sometimes if it's.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
One guy not doing the job and it's a terrible play.
So football is really goofy from that standpoint. But to
your point, we'd have a run play and it's just
like just one slight detail, like if you don't press
the edge far enough, we don't pick up this block,
like the details matter and every single play and you
never know when your number is gonna get caught in, Like, hey,
(13:36):
it's your job to execute your assignment. That's gonna be
the assignment that pops a big run or it makes
a big play on defense. So the message short of guys,
you never know when your time is coming, but you
get to stay ready at all times to be able
to execute and then make that play to then pop
a big one so we can get some momentum.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Get going, coach. So we're down twenty one to three.
We had that drive and then in a field goal
we get on the board. It seems like we're trying
to get some momentum. Edge gets the ball and they're
just they didn't have any real big plays. We bottled
up White. We bottled up White twice for no gain
and a two yard gain. But then there's Zach Hackleman
who got a twenty six yard catch and if I
(14:16):
remember a Christian Harris was almost out of the quarterback
when but Hackelman made the catch. And then again it
seemed like we had Brandon White kind of bottled up
a lot of the game. Maybe with the exception of
this first d I had the first drive. In this drive,
he had seven yards of two yard to ten yard
and then Hackleman shows up again on a twenty four
yard pass. Was that just a blown coverage or I
(14:38):
didn't see his move because I was watching the those.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Two plays they had, Like the first one was a
zone replay RPO where he fakes like he's blocking. He
goes like kind of like Auburn did years ago against Alabama, right,
And the next one is the double move and he's
really really good. So he sold it and we jumped
it and he scored.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
So there it is. It's twenty eight to three. We
we go into halftime. It was interesting. The broadcaster for
Ed's who I've gotten to know over the years, and
you know, we were talking. He goes, I didn't expect this.
I said, well, you know, we didn't either, and he
looked at me and he goes, but we are not a
good second half team. I'm like, I said, I hope
that rings true, and uh man, it sure seemed like
(15:19):
it was. Because that first drive of the of the
of the second half. I know Reggie Reggie Watson didn't
have any catches in the first half.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Hey, and you're trying to get him the ball. It
just didn't come to fruition. I think he had three.
It's like okay, and we're clicking.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Now we're going.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
And then that was again I think it was one
miss block and a clean shot at Matt and again
one one thing messed the whole thing up. And you
know that ball bounced up right to the defender. I
mean it wasn't on the ground like you're gonna like
dive on.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
It to recover.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I mean it was like here you go, Bud, and
it was like three feet high in the air, and
he grabbed and I think before anybody knew it, he
was ten yards down the field.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
We give that kid a lot of credit.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean, he won on his move and he was
able to get a shot on Matt, which he's not
used to having that quite as much, right, But I
think it was a second I think we ran the
ball in first and first and ten, and then it
might have been like second and eight or something like
that when we're trying to take a shot at the
end zone and the kid kid beat our guy and
he made it a great play and picked up in rants.
(16:22):
And now you're thinking that's twenty one points since the
first drive of non offensive scores or no no, no
double moved to Hackleman, but twenty one points of non
offensive scores within three quarters of play. And I don't
know the stats on that, but I know your chance
of winning are not good when that happened. So we
(16:43):
had to manufacture some stuff fast. And when you get
in that situation, it's that balancing act of like, hey,
do you try to throw it to be aggressive and
keep trying to get because you gotta score fast, or
do you, hey, we got to stay home. We gotta
get a drive and just get points on the board,
but you're running out of time. So it's that balancing
active trying to fit both from that standpoint. And we
(17:04):
just couldn't get going on offense. You know, we just
can't coach. Not that it's a silver lining, but and
you can't play take this away, take that, but you
take away that first drive. And I know we had
the two punt returns, so those are possessions they didn't have.
But really the defense just gave up the the one
drive after the first one that they went down and scored.
I mean, like you said that you have three touchdowns
(17:26):
on uh not without your defense on the field. I mean, again,
it's hard to win. But the optics might be like, wow,
the defense was terrible, But really, I mean they were
doing a solid job. Now, I thought we played inspired
football on defense. But here's the one thing, and Coach
Sharp said this after our meeting, was on special teams,
(17:49):
that's our defensive guys. That's our defensive guys. We're missing
tackles right, so.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You're not having receivers.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I take a lot of pride in like when when
then we're in practice, it's like our offenses and gold
jers or defense and blue jers. I take a lot
pride on special forces. On punt and on kickoff, it's
all blue jerseys and we need to go down and
make play. So I thought our defensive unit played inspired football.
I thought they played hard on special forces. We got
(18:17):
to stay locked in. That is a major part of
our game. That is a third of the game. And
there's there's no excuse to relax or anything like that.
Like we got to get the ball on the ground
and offensively, we have to manufacture drives to put ourselves
in good field position, Like we if we get two
first downs, every drive that changes the field position right right,
Like that's what needs to happen. Then when we do
(18:39):
flip the field, we got to execute and get the
ball on the ground. So everything works together in unison.
And when the offense is not performing, it affects the defense.
When the defense is not performing, it affects special teams,
it affects the offense like they are, they're all connected
together and as a unit. If I thought against Saint X,
I thought we played one of our more complete games
(18:59):
as a team. If I thought at Trinity, I thought
we played one of our more complete games as a team.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't think that was even though they weren't huge
like offensive games. We did what we had to do.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
We played, we put we executed our job. Like even
like against Trent, I think we scored twenty four points.
As one might think, like, well that's twenty four points.
That's a really good No one scored any points on
them beforehand. But we played together and we we manufactured
drives to extend that uh to take the clock away
and flip the field. For the defense. We played connected.
We did not play connected on Saturday in any phase
(19:31):
of the game. So we have to guys in we
have to improve, We have to to learn from that game,
and then we got to flush it. And then we
got to move on and not allow that game to
beat us twice. We lost once on Saturday. It can't
negatively affect us in the future. Where you're still focused
on that, you can't do anything about it except learn
from it, get better, move on and then take it
out on Friday.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And coach our special forces coverage on punt returns and
even kickoff returns for the most part. I mean we
haven't give up touchdowns. We haven't given up against CPA.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Well, yeah, like our our our our kickoff team I
think has been really really good throughout the year. But
even on our punt team, that's the probably unit that
we we've without a question, have struggled the most on.
It comes down to the lack of execution, Like even
against CPA, like it was two mistackles, right, Like, we
have to get the ball on the ground, so we
(20:25):
have to coach it better. It's like that when you
look at what's going wrong, Like when when there's a problem,
you got to look at what you're doing, how you're
doing it, and who you're.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Doing it with.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Right, like, so what is the scheme, how is how
you're teaching it? And then three right, like who are
you doing it with? And you might need So one
of those three things has to change in some way,
shape or form, and we have to improve upon it.
And in my opinion, this past week it was more
like how we're doing things right, So we put more
of an emphasis on certain things during practice to to
(20:55):
rectify that and and change that. So that's been our
mindset this week, is to improve and get better at
those fundamentals to to be able to execute in those
critical moments.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Let's flush this game out of the system.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, you can tell it'll fire up.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Well, that's okay, let's get out of the system. The
last thing I'll say about Saint Eds, I hope we
get to see Hackeman play against us one more time.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
As you know what that means. That would be the
last game of the season.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So that's my thought on that is, let's let's I
want to see Hackelman play live one more time.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yep, there we go, there we go, not having success again.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
All right, Sat Eds out of here. We're gonna take
a break, We're gonna come We're gonna come back and

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Go big mo.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Welcome back to w mo OE and the Molar Broadcasting Network.
You're listening to the Bert Pathyany Show, which features the
head coach of the Molar Fighting Crusader football team, Bert Bathyany.
I'm Jeff Schneedle, Molar class of nineteen eighty four and
with Comby and Shepherd Realtors. Who's the Burke Mathyani Show coach.
Come down to Game ten as the Big Reds from
(23:05):
Muskegan roll into town and record of six and two.
Any thoughts on what we can look for on Friday
night as we get to go play in another new stadium.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Well if Historically they are one of the top ten
teams in the country when it comes to wins. They've
won multiple state titles in the state of Michigan. They're
a highly respected football program in the state of Michigan
and nationally in the country. And they play hard. They
are explosive on offense. I think they drop their first
two games, but they've won six in a row and
(23:38):
in their last two games, I think they've given up
less than ten points and put up sixty on the board.
They are dynamic on offense and have a lot of speed.
They fire off the ball with their offensive line. They're
incredibly physical at the point of attack and at the
line of scrimmage. And I think the same thing goes
for them on defense. They are aggressive, they run to
the football, and they're physical. We got to work cut
(24:01):
out for him, right right, there's no cupcake games anywhere
like they really really good and and last year I think, yeah,
they probably got a bone to pick with us. I
think that game was posted to term whether or not
they got in the playoffs or not. So they will,
they will come inspired, they will come ready to roll.
And they're their head coaches from Ohio, so he's gonna
(24:22):
get them ready to play. Without question. They're they're dang
good football.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Team and they have they're quarterbacks a senior if I remember, right,
was he a junior last year? So I mean we've
seen them.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Before, A different kids from last year.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh it is different, Okay, Okay, I just uh, I
just thought their quarterback last year was pretty solid. But uh,
obviously you're you're up on that. So we get to
we get to play the big Reds, and coach, if
we win, we're we're guaranteed at least a bye or
or or a week and as I mentioned, that might
be a good thing at this point. Just give the
kids a break and uh catch their breath and then
(24:55):
have a great run. But uh, new stadium down at
Percel Have you have you ever been there? Coach there,
played well, obviously played there. It's brand, it's a newer stadium.
None of us have really been there.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I've been to the school a handful of times to recruit.
But so I've been to the area, but I've never
actually seen the stadium with my own two eyes. I've
seen pictures of it. Athletic staff went down and looked
at and sent videos. It looks incredible. And anything has
the name Stallbach on it, you know it's gonna be nice.
So I know it's gonna be a smaller venue, but
(25:27):
I think it's going to create a cool environment for
our guys and and for Muskegan. So I think it'll
be pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
In one of the end zones, there's, uh, there's houses
right across the street. So I'm gonna see if Jack
Malibar takes out a window or two. Maybe they haven't
met up, but I tell you what, and I have
been down to the stadium, but it is. It's a
great setting. It's right there in the neighborhood. And uh,
I'm sure it'll be electric with that on Friday night
(25:55):
and another new venue for us.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
To play it.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Ye, why not mark it off the list? Why not?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
So let's see where the chips go with that.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is Muskegan will roll into town and we'll take on
the big reds. Is it's kind of the home and
home from last year after we we made the traveling trips.
So coach, uh, let's get back on track and start
for a big run. Here is it's it's it's uh.
The new season will be upon us after this Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
The regular season will be done after Friday, and then
you go you and bark on a new season. So
get you Rader roll and then those games are it's
one and done, so you got to come right to roll.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Coach, always appreciate your time, even when it might not
be the most fun time to review a game. But
we get through it and we look forward and better
better days ahead.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yep. All right.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That is Bert Pathy and is he's the head coach
of the Molar Fighting Crusader football team. You're listening to

Speaker 1 (00:49):
How about that globally?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
How are we doing?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
What are you selling globally?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, Dave, well, not me, but I connected with other agents,
level agents, so we've got a great RELO program. But
speaking of RELO, we relocated on Saturday, went up to
Cleveland and played and coach uh just didn't just didn't
have a good game.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Not our best effort, I mean, not our best performance whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The effort was it seemed the effort was.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It just seemed like we just didn't have it.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, just you know, there's no excuse for what we
put out there, and we gotta get better. We got
to guys in and improve, And so that was the
mindset this week. And I thought we had a good
week of practice and ready to get the Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Coach and we'll talk about the game here in a minute,
but you know, we talked about early in the season,
we haven't had it happen where we got behind, you know,
by multiple scores. We were down fourteen to nothing in
two games and thirteen to nothing in another. And yeah,
I mean there was no panic and there's no like
no need to panic. Did that give us kind of
a little false sense of security that we've been there
and it's like, you know, we'll get it eventually.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I mean, I don't know such a I think there's
such a momentum changing swing on Saturday with the putt
returns and stuff like that. Just in all three phases
of the game, I didn't think we performed to the
level that's expected. I thought we played inspired football on
defense in the second half. But you spot a team
twenty one points and I could take anything away from them,
(02:13):
but that's just something you can't do. Like, those mistakes
are critical and they can be fatal, and you give
up two punt returns for touchdowns, and really it's just
a lack of execution. I mean, you're you're in a
tight putting situation inside your five yard line and you're
supposed to kick it to the sideline and you kick
it in the middle of the field right like that.
That cuts down on your coverage. That's a critical mistake,
(02:35):
and that's something that's is emphasize every single week in practice.
We practice that same situation and then you punt it
and you pin them inside the ten and then you
miss three tackles on a really good player. You can't
do that. So hopefully it's a wake up call and
we're going to regroup and get better and refocus and
get better at the details and the fundamentals of And
(02:56):
sometimes that's a good thing, is to refocus and get
back to those base things that help you get to
where you were in the beginning. But we got to
lock in and get better at those things.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Coach, hard to believe it's already week ten, Yep, We'll
we'll talk about that also later. But you know, I
know the kids have been grinding it for a long
long time. I mean, my thought would be as maybe
that week off would be very, very beneficial to get
everybody kind of refreshed.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, you'd like to think so.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think, no matter what comes, you're gonna make the
most of it. And you got to handle your circumstances
whatever they are, and your resiliency's got to be greater
than the resistance. So whether or not you have the
bye week or not, we got to go play an
opponent at some point in the playoffs and we have
to have our best week of practice that week in
preparation for that.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
All right, coach, let's take a break.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Then we're gonna come back to talk about last Saturday's
game against Saint Edward. The Eagles and the Crusaders teed
it up on a beautiful day in Lakewood. We'll come
back and talk about that in our first segment. As
you're listening to the Bert bathy Andy Show, which features

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Welcome back to w MO OE and the Molar Broadcasting Network.
As you're listening to the Bird Bathyany Show, which features
the head coach of Moler Football, Ubert Bathyanni. Show was
sponsored by Comie and Shepherd Reeltors, and I'm Jeff Schneiedel
with Comy and Shepherd Realtors, but also with the class
of Moeler nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Coach.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Great day.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I know you always make fun of me about the weather,
but man, it was a beautiful day, and especially up
in Lakewood. You'll take a day like that because I've
been up there when it's been fifty mile an hour winds, driving, rain,
just cold, not fun to be there.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
It was a great day.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, I think Craig Lindsay said that was the nicest
day he's seen up there in thirty one years of
being an athletic trainer.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So makes people want to those almost move there. Yeah,
but don't be fooled. That might have been an anomaly,
just kind of like the outcome. But coach, you know
Saint Ed's you know, we kicked off to him and
I guess we kicked into the wind and they had
a really a strong drive that they just took it
to us, took it right down the field and punched
(05:51):
it in. It just seemed like, you know, we just
couldn't stop him on that first drive.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, a ton of explosive plays and a ton of mistakes.
I mean the first play they run, you know jet
sweep to the field and you have it fitted up
correctly and he has nowhere to go, and then he
cuts it back and makes it, breaks the tackle, breaks
another tackle, and that's a twenty yard game, right, And
then that's a momentum changing play just off the jump.
We got to be able to get the ball down
(06:17):
on the ground when you fit it right. You work
so hard to get lined up and to fit that
play correctly, and then now you get there, you got
to make the play. Like you have to make the play,
So at that point you got to get the ball
on the ground and make that play. And then now
it ends up being the TfL and they're behind the
sticks and they got to throw the ball or try
to get half back in the run game, and that
(06:38):
just changes that dynamic. So when we're in that position
to make a play, it's got to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Coach, you know, Zach Ackleman, he had a great game
against US, yeah, last year, And I don't know if
he's playing like like he does against mull Or High School,
because if he played ten games against Muller High School,
he'd be All American status. He was outstanding last year.
I remember he had a tremendous catch ball going out
of the end zone.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then he kind of started things off at that
sixteen yard I guess it was.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
A just reverse.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It was reversed, so counterbluff reverse.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And he he took that in and and that kind
of just started things. And then you know, my thought was, Okay,
this is going to be one of these forty two
to thirty eight games, and let's let's just let's get
it start rolling. We didn't get it going uh early
on and then uh then we punted and ironically, I
(07:29):
know you said about the punt being in the middle
of the field, it looked like their star running back
Brandon White just like misjudged it and it kind of
he didn't field it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It goes back to backle Man. He was.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
It was a windy day, so that was that was
part of the plane going into it. So the thought
process at the coin flip was, if we win, we
want to defer like we always do, and we want
to kick into the win. They try to have the
win in the second quarter right for a long field
goal in case that happens right right, We've had two
games where a feel goal mattered at halftime where we
talk about trinity. They gave us momentum and then say
(08:04):
next it gave us momentum. So that was the thought
process there. So we kick off. We tried to skykick,
not as far as we wanted. It probably played into
the wind a little bit too much. So they had
not great field visits, but they better than what you
wanted them to have. And then they go down and score.
They kick off to us. I think it was a
touchback right because it was it was so windy. Yeah,
(08:25):
so we get the ball. Then now we go through
and out, we punt it to them, they get good
field position, and then they punt to us and it
goes inside the five, right, So the I think that
the decision and that's not my decision, is you know,
playing for that win in the second quarter, you ended
up backfiring a little bit because now we punted into
the wind and I think it like kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Hung up there a little bit for their return.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It didn't really hit right, and then it bounces in
the Hackelman's hand in the middle of the field. We
got to a better job with our coverage and and
get into our lanes and playing with leverage, and the
guy who's our contained guy cuts inside, which we can't
have that happen. We got to stay outside and force
it to our help. And you give a great player
of the ball in the middle of here with space.
That's not what you want to do. So a fundamental
(09:10):
critical era on our part where we as coaches got
to do a better job of getting our guys to
execute that play a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Gosh, I wish Brandon White would have scooped that ball
up because it seemed like we probably would have had
in Kim contained.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Between the two of them.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And then on their kickoff return with number four, they
got three dynamic guys that can take it to the
house at any time.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And so as the game progresses and you know Hackleman again,
he has the punt return, and then the second punt return,
which was also in the first quarter, it seemed like
it went down like towards the corner, almost like we
got him and pinned back.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
It seemed like that was good.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Our punt team executed the play exactly how.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
They needed to until the tackle just didn't make the time.
We didn't make the tackle. We had three shots at him, yep.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
We had three shots at them. We just you missed
the tackles. And you have guys, but I mean, Carter
Matthews is busting his tail down there and he's an
interitory line. You don't expect him to make the tackle
there right like he's he makes him cut into the
sideline with his effort, which is exactly what should have happened.
Really good effort on his part. And then we missed
a tackle, right like we gotta be able to get
(10:18):
the ball on the ground in their situations. Right, That's
a critical fundamental part of football is tackling, and we've
we got to get better at we have to improve.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So that was a point of emphasis this week.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So we got tackleman three times twenty one did nothing
and then you know what, we had a we had
a pretty good drive. We just we didn't score a touchdown,
but we took over half of a quarter in the
second quarter. And then was there any thought of going
forward there on fourth down or you just wanted to
get points on the board.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, there's always a thought, I want to get points
on the board. Like we had the win in our back,
we had Malabar, he's been doing a great job. In
my mind, it's like hey against saying against Trinity, we
were down fourteen to nothing, I've got a field goal
that momentum and you know you get it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
But just critical errors again.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I mean, we were moving the ball like Matt, like
the drive before Matt throws a shot the land and
Landing makes a great catch and we're rolling and then
Matt makes I think two scrambles.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
They get the.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
First down and we have a first down. Then a
receiver lines up wrong, we get it. We get a penalty, right,
it can't happen like critical mistakes in a base formation.
So now instead of going first and ten, we're first
and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And then especially against a team like just unforgiving, you.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Can't do that, and that that all falls on me.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
That's not that's that's my fault, right, Like we we
obviously didn't coach it well enough to where you don't
coach it to get it right. You coach to where
you can never get it wrong. And we got it wrong,
so that that falls on me. So that put us
behind the sticks. And then that's how they got that
second punt return. Then we get the ball back, we're
driving and another fourth down, like good job by the
(11:54):
Christian Harrison Kuzo getting that fourth down on that on
that fourth and two, I believe, And we're getting down
then we have a chance to score and you know,
we drop a ball right Like we had like fundamentals
in the game, we didn't execute the fundamentals. And that's
that's the most disappointing thing that you know I took
away from Saturday, and that again that all falls on
(12:15):
me and our staff.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
We got to coach it better.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Coach so we get on the board it's twenty one
to three. It just seemed like, I mean, the effort
was there, and I think, as you've been alluding to,
it's like one misstep, one misfire by one player on
a given play, and it just messes everything up.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And we just.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
To our credit, we haven't had like a sequence or
long series or long quarters where we just haven't where
we've gotten out of sink. It just seemed like we
weren't in sync, if that makes sense. You know, It's
not like we weren't trying. It just seemed like it
just it just we just couldn't get everything to zipper up.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, so we got to clean things up.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And you know, when you play, that's right when you
have eleven guys on the field, right, Like, it takes
eleven guys doing their job right, Like, so sometimes they
can just take one guy doing their job and you
can make.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
A great play, because sometimes if it's.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
One guy not doing the job and it's a terrible play.
So football is really goofy from that standpoint. But to
your point, we'd have a run play and it's just
like just one slight detail, like if you don't press
the edge far enough, we don't pick up this block,
like the details matter and every single play and you
never know when your number is gonna get caught in, Like, hey,
(13:36):
it's your job to execute your assignment. That's gonna be
the assignment that pops a big run or it makes
a big play on defense. So the message short of guys,
you never know when your time is coming, but you
get to stay ready at all times to be able
to execute and then make that play to then pop
a big one so we can get some momentum.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Get going, coach. So we're down twenty one to three.
We had that drive and then in a field goal
we get on the board. It seems like we're trying
to get some momentum. Edge gets the ball and they're
just they didn't have any real big plays. We bottled
up White. We bottled up White twice for no gain
and a two yard gain. But then there's Zach Hackleman
who got a twenty six yard catch and if I
(14:16):
remember a Christian Harris was almost out of the quarterback
when but Hackelman made the catch. And then again it
seemed like we had Brandon White kind of bottled up
a lot of the game. Maybe with the exception of
this first d I had the first drive. In this drive,
he had seven yards of two yard to ten yard
and then Hackleman shows up again on a twenty four
yard pass. Was that just a blown coverage or I
(14:38):
didn't see his move because I was watching the those.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Two plays they had, Like the first one was a
zone replay RPO where he fakes like he's blocking. He
goes like kind of like Auburn did years ago against Alabama, right,
And the next one is the double move and he's
really really good. So he sold it and we jumped
it and he scored.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
So there it is. It's twenty eight to three. We
we go into halftime. It was interesting. The broadcaster for
Ed's who I've gotten to know over the years, and
you know, we were talking. He goes, I didn't expect this.
I said, well, you know, we didn't either, and he
looked at me and he goes, but we are not a
good second half team. I'm like, I said, I hope
that rings true, and uh man, it sure seemed like
(15:19):
it was. Because that first drive of the of the
of the second half. I know Reggie Reggie Watson didn't
have any catches in the first half.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Hey, and you're trying to get him the ball. It
just didn't come to fruition. I think he had three.
It's like okay, and we're clicking.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Now we're going.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
And then that was again I think it was one
miss block and a clean shot at Matt and again
one one thing messed the whole thing up. And you
know that ball bounced up right to the defender. I
mean it wasn't on the ground like you're gonna like
dive on.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
It to recover.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I mean it was like here you go, Bud, and
it was like three feet high in the air, and
he grabbed and I think before anybody knew it, he
was ten yards down the field.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
We give that kid a lot of credit.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean, he won on his move and he was
able to get a shot on Matt, which he's not
used to having that quite as much, right, But I
think it was a second I think we ran the
ball in first and first and ten, and then it
might have been like second and eight or something like
that when we're trying to take a shot at the
end zone and the kid kid beat our guy and
he made it a great play and picked up in rants.
(16:22):
And now you're thinking that's twenty one points since the
first drive of non offensive scores or no no, no
double moved to Hackleman, but twenty one points of non
offensive scores within three quarters of play. And I don't
know the stats on that, but I know your chance
of winning are not good when that happened. So we
(16:43):
had to manufacture some stuff fast. And when you get
in that situation, it's that balancing act of like, hey,
do you try to throw it to be aggressive and
keep trying to get because you gotta score fast, or
do you, hey, we got to stay home. We gotta
get a drive and just get points on the board,
but you're running out of time. So it's that balancing
active trying to fit both from that standpoint. And we
(17:04):
just couldn't get going on offense. You know, we just
can't coach. Not that it's a silver lining, but and
you can't play take this away, take that, but you
take away that first drive. And I know we had
the two punt returns, so those are possessions they didn't have.
But really the defense just gave up the the one
drive after the first one that they went down and scored.
I mean, like you said that you have three touchdowns
(17:26):
on uh not without your defense on the field. I mean, again,
it's hard to win. But the optics might be like, wow,
the defense was terrible, But really, I mean they were
doing a solid job. Now, I thought we played inspired
football on defense. But here's the one thing, and Coach
Sharp said this after our meeting, was on special teams,
(17:49):
that's our defensive guys. That's our defensive guys. We're missing
tackles right, so.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You're not having receivers.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I take a lot of pride in like when when
then we're in practice, it's like our offenses and gold
jers or defense and blue jers. I take a lot
pride on special forces. On punt and on kickoff, it's
all blue jerseys and we need to go down and
make play. So I thought our defensive unit played inspired football.
I thought they played hard on special forces. We got
(18:17):
to stay locked in. That is a major part of
our game. That is a third of the game. And
there's there's no excuse to relax or anything like that.
Like we got to get the ball on the ground
and offensively, we have to manufacture drives to put ourselves
in good field position, Like we if we get two
first downs, every drive that changes the field position right right,
Like that's what needs to happen. Then when we do
(18:39):
flip the field, we got to execute and get the
ball on the ground. So everything works together in unison.
And when the offense is not performing, it affects the defense.
When the defense is not performing, it affects special teams,
it affects the offense like they are, they're all connected
together and as a unit. If I thought against Saint X,
I thought we played one of our more complete games
(18:59):
as a team. If I thought at Trinity, I thought
we played one of our more complete games as a team.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't think that was even though they weren't huge
like offensive games. We did what we had to do.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
We played, we put we executed our job. Like even
like against Trent, I think we scored twenty four points.
As one might think, like, well that's twenty four points.
That's a really good No one scored any points on
them beforehand. But we played together and we we manufactured
drives to extend that uh to take the clock away
and flip the field. For the defense. We played connected.
We did not play connected on Saturday in any phase
(19:31):
of the game. So we have to guys in we
have to improve, We have to to learn from that game,
and then we got to flush it. And then we
got to move on and not allow that game to
beat us twice. We lost once on Saturday. It can't
negatively affect us in the future. Where you're still focused
on that, you can't do anything about it except learn
from it, get better, move on and then take it
out on Friday.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And coach our special forces coverage on punt returns and
even kickoff returns for the most part. I mean we
haven't give up touchdowns. We haven't given up against CPA.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Well, yeah, like our our our our kickoff team I
think has been really really good throughout the year. But
even on our punt team, that's the probably unit that
we we've without a question, have struggled the most on.
It comes down to the lack of execution, Like even
against CPA, like it was two mistackles, right, Like, we
have to get the ball on the ground, so we
(20:25):
have to coach it better. It's like that when you
look at what's going wrong, Like when when there's a problem,
you got to look at what you're doing, how you're
doing it, and who you're.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Doing it with.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Right, like, so what is the scheme, how is how
you're teaching it? And then three right, like who are
you doing it with? And you might need So one
of those three things has to change in some way,
shape or form, and we have to improve upon it.
And in my opinion, this past week it was more
like how we're doing things right, So we put more
of an emphasis on certain things during practice to to
(20:55):
rectify that and and change that. So that's been our
mindset this week, is to improve and get better at
those fundamentals to to be able to execute in those
critical moments.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Let's flush this game out of the system.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, you can tell it'll fire up.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Well, that's okay, let's get out of the system. The
last thing I'll say about Saint Eds, I hope we
get to see Hackeman play against us one more time.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
As you know what that means. That would be the
last game of the season.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So that's my thought on that is, let's let's I
want to see Hackelman play live one more time.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yep, there we go, there we go, not having success again.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (21:30):

I'm Jeff Schneedle, Molar class of nineteen eighty four and

Come down to Game ten as the Big Reds from
(23:05):
Muskegan roll into town and record of six and two.
Any thoughts on what we can look for on Friday
night as we get to go play in another new stadium.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Well if Historically they are one of the top ten
teams in the country when it comes to wins. They've
won multiple state titles in the state of Michigan. They're
a highly respected football program in the state of Michigan
and nationally in the country. And they play hard. They
are explosive on offense. I think they drop their first
two games, but they've won six in a row and
(23:38):
in their last two games, I think they've given up
less than ten points and put up sixty on the board.
They are dynamic on offense and have a lot of speed.
They fire off the ball with their offensive line. They're
incredibly physical at the point of attack and at the
line of scrimmage. And I think the same thing goes
for them on defense. They are aggressive, they run to
the football, and they're physical. We got to work cut
(24:01):
out for him, right right, there's no cupcake games anywhere
like they really really good and and last year I think, yeah,
they probably got a bone to pick with us. I
think that game was posted to term whether or not
they got in the playoffs or not. So they will,
they will come inspired, they will come ready to roll.
And they're their head coaches from Ohio, so he's gonna
(24:22):
get them ready to play. Without question. They're they're dang
good football.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Team and they have they're quarterbacks a senior if I remember, right,
was he a junior last year? So I mean we've
seen them.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Before, A different kids from last year.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh it is different, Okay, Okay, I just uh, I
just thought their quarterback last year was pretty solid. But uh,
obviously you're you're up on that. So we get to
we get to play the big Reds, and coach, if
we win, we're we're guaranteed at least a bye or
or or a week and as I mentioned, that might
be a good thing at this point. Just give the
kids a break and uh catch their breath and then
(24:55):
have a great run. But uh, new stadium down at
Percel Have you have you ever been there? Coach there,
played well, obviously played there. It's brand, it's a newer stadium.
None of us have really been there.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I've been to the school a handful of times to recruit.
But so I've been to the area, but I've never
actually seen the stadium with my own two eyes. I've
seen pictures of it. Athletic staff went down and looked
at and sent videos. It looks incredible. And anything has
the name Stallbach on it, you know it's gonna be nice.
So I know it's gonna be a smaller venue, but
(25:27):
I think it's going to create a cool environment for
our guys and and for Muskegan. So I think it'll
be pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
In one of the end zones, there's, uh, there's houses
right across the street. So I'm gonna see if Jack
Malibar takes out a window or two. Maybe they haven't
met up, but I tell you what, and I have
been down to the stadium, but it is. It's a
great setting. It's right there in the neighborhood. And uh,
I'm sure it'll be electric with that on Friday night
(25:55):
and another new venue for us.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
To play it.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Ye, why not mark it off the list? Why not?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
So let's see where the chips go with that.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is Muskegan will roll into town and we'll take on
the big reds. Is it's kind of the home and
home from last year after we we made the traveling trips.
So coach, uh, let's get back on track and start
for a big run. Here is it's it's it's uh.
The new season will be upon us after this Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
The regular season will be done after Friday, and then
you go you and bark on a new season. So
get you Rader roll and then those games are it's
one and done, so you got to come right to roll.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Coach, always appreciate your time, even when it might not
be the most fun time to review a game. But
we get through it and we look forward and better
better days ahead.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yep. All right.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
