Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Him to try to shut down thatCress View offense. Our focus was not
let them run on us. Theyhad a few big play on the left
side line there, they had thatone. But our goal is not gonna
get any yard. Negative yards isour goal. But we didn't obviously we
didn't get that. But I thinkwe did a pretty good job at hoarding
both of them. Yeah, youabsolutely did, right. Yeah, not

(00:20):
only do it on the defensive side, uh, I mean doing it on
the offensive side. Right. Twotouchdowns, So I mean there's a lot
of things going on, you know, mister utility, and you kind of
have to feel that way, bythe way. Yeah, go for it.
Yeah, here's an unknown fact.Oh to you, to me,
I'm ready. So it's his birthday. Oh, happy birthday. You're right.

(00:42):
I did not know that. Ohoh yeah, I mean everywhere we
went. Well, what a greatway to celebrate your birthday with a victory
over Chris Viewer. Yeah, andthis is one of those games that you
know, you you'll kind of alwaysremember, like, oh yeah, man,
I remember we played that first roundgame. You know you'll remember that
as you grow older and new oldman, tell your kids about and all

(01:03):
stuff. Moving forward, you don'tknow again who you play yet, but
you'll probably be back here again andeverything else. It's here against either or
Columbia Columbia. Yeah, So movingforward offensively and defensively, as a team
as a whole. What are somewhat are some good things you're wanting that

(01:26):
you did tonight, that your teamto tonight moving forward, that you're looking
to just keep going in that secondweek, or some good things you saw
tonight to move forward into the nextweek. Our offensive line, our offense
line made big holes. Obviously there'sa little bit downside in there the second
half, but in the first half, and you could run a truck through
those holes. Yeah, they wereopen. And they did a lot of

(01:46):
stunts on the defensive line there,correct, And we've been practicing all week
and our line like they're walking thehalftime like that was wearing nothing. Our
coaches were hyping those up. Ohyeah, they were rolling. They they
would roll into a and they wouldroll into the gaps and you guys cover
does and you still had holes torun through. Yeah, you're you're right,
And you know, uh does doesdoes coach? What does coach preach

(02:08):
about? Uh? Is does coachtalk about? Like commitment by a team
and like a common goal, likewe're one unit. What does he preach
about one unit? Like, let'sdo this as a team, move forwards
a team, it takes all ofus. What's he talk about with that?
It's just play for your brothers.It's not play for yourself out there,
it's play for your brothers. Obviouslywe don't stap have we get everyone

(02:30):
in the ball. I don't knowhow many ball carries we had the night,
probably quite a few. And wealways do there. We just spread
the ball. People do what theydo and eventually have their own good game.
Right. We're with our Chemical CorporationPlayer of the game, Austin Neider
Core And Uh, you know,I've talked to some people about who have
the ability to intercept the ball.Obviously you were really good at that.

(02:51):
Uh your former teammate, uh Bryceand Kati who was great at that.
You two used to play together andhe's obviously has since graduated. Uh,
that's one thing he said. Youknow, there's not really something specifically that
you teach, but what can yousay about just sort of your neck and
being able to get in position,intercept the ball and and make make those
plays. For your team. Honestly, I think I just follow this scheme,

(03:13):
like when I was supposed to dropback and coverage, cover my zone
and let them come to me,and just yeah, it forces it.
He has to throw it somewhere andhe's and he's right, he has to
make a play. So I givehim credit Ord d Line for that too.
Absolutely, Yet see and see Kirk. That's the stuff that we were
kind of talking about, and Iwas talking with coach about before the game,

(03:36):
the culture that Carrie has and thatyou know what he was saying about
the team first and as a unit, like that's the kind of stuff that
coaches long for. What's it likebeing in a team like that? Where
I mean, how does that feels? The fuel? I I winning is
great feels good, But how's itfeel to be long to something like that?

(03:57):
It feels amazing, Like you know, your brothers have your back down,
They're gonna come out, get youback up. You're not gonna be
down on that field for too longbecause your whole family is gonna come after
you and get you out. That'sgood stuff. Finally, if we could,
yeah, just just a general thoughton what's gonna take to have you
had another potential run Fred to carryBlue Devils. Obviously, you were a
big part of the state championship fromtwenty twenty one, and uh, a

(04:19):
lot of people are saying that,uh, this is a team that has
similar potential. So just your thoughtsabout what's gonna take to try to keep
going in this region, one gameat a time, Just keep looking forward.
Whatever team we gotta play, weknow we can run them. Just
keep doing our thing. Practice everyday, got to come in early tomorrow.

(04:39):
That's right, that's right. Thenthere's that part of it, but
it's worth it when you win.And finally, if I can just get
yeah, get that picture right there. Yeah, there we go for your
fans. Yes, it does.So thanks so much, Austin. It's
great to talk to you as always, and hey, we'll see you for
the next one. But man,congratulations, man, all right, yeah,
