Welcome to coverage of Comments football live in Clayton on

up in less than three minutes time before kickoff. We
are ready to go and we are on the air. Ryan,
One more final JV game, Buddy, Cleveland Clayton. I know
you're new to the broadcast spectrum of things, but this

(02:10):
is like literally the Cowboys and the red Skins if
you think football. No, I don't call them the Commanders.
They'll always be the Red Skins in my book, or
the Hatfields and McCoy's, or the North versus South, the
Civil War. Football is Cleveland and Clayton in Johnston County.
You're gonna see a barn burner the next couple of nights.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, I mean, I'm in for a real treat. You know,
I went to Greenhope High School, and so.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You kind of got an idea even.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
In my neck of woods. You know, I knew that
this was a big game, and you know, I knew
how the importance of this game, and you know, even
on the JV level, you know these they this is
gonna be a very important game for both of these
teams and to get a winning you know, hopefully get
that momentum to their varsity team to get that big
win tomorrow up.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Should be a big one coming up here. And as
years of late, Cleveland has struggled on the JV level,
normally they dominated just as much as varsity have. But
this could be a good match up here tonight and
it will close the season for comments. Thursday Night football
for JV. Kim Winslow down to you first, a quick

(03:13):
word from All State.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
I'm your football obsess, the best man when all eyes
are glued to the game.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
And if you didn't bund to your home in auto insurance,
well this just didn't talk chat.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's a good All ste No crowd might needed. We're

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Good evening to you, good evening. Yes we are here,
we are ready, and kudos uh to you guys, to
you and Ryan for getting that set up so quickly.
They've got a crowded press box over there. You had
to improvise and you did it in grand fashion. And
now with a minute and thirteen seconds left go, we'll

(04:00):
get ready for kickoff. Comments did win the toss? They
have deferred, so Cleveland will receive the ball first to
start this contest.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
This contest, this match up, this battle between Cleveland and
Clayton and Kim, I might need your help a little
bit more because you know, we're not way up on
the top side of the grand stands like we were
last year with our like even corner last week, so
we're down at the main entrance level at the fifty
yard line. But we'll do our best, and obviously we
don't want to be standing up behind the awesome Comet

We're about to get this game started though, Ryan.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, we really are, and you know, Clayton just going
through their last minute warm ups and get it ready
to get this kickoff to Cleveland here for the first half.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Comets are the away squad, even though we're in Clayton.
They're adorning. They're awake. Pants that are blue game pants,
white jerseys, blue numbers, white trim, the white helmets. Of course,
some of them have the blue and the black stripe
down the middle with the sea. Those that go back
and forth from JV to varsity. The Cleveland Rams look
like they're they wanna be Carolina tar heels. They're wearing

(05:46):
their blue on blue dark with Carolina blue and white
in their jerseys, Carolina blue helmets as well. They have
the Carolina blue, the white trim and the numbers of
the Carolina Blue helmets. And of course this ball will
go to the Rams to get it started. We're not
ready to get it started as again. Maxton Kupstad is
the first man to get a hold of it, and

(06:06):
we'll get ready for a first in ten here for Cleveland.
Honestly want to stop the first series. Clayton, he's to
have a good run here to start it.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, I mean this first series, you know, usually decides
the tempo of the game. You know who's gonna come out,
so you know, both both teams want to get a
good offensive starter or a defensive start to on this
first drive.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
First and ten Paul on the twenty seven, the Rams
will open up their series here at home with the
ammunition they'll fire first. There goes a run number nine,
the handoff, it'll go to number number twelve, well number
two actually to the Commet sideline. That's number two a
Mari and Newkirk, the sophomore cornerback and the cornerback of

(06:49):
course giving it to new Kirk. And we got a
flag of the play as well. We'll find out what
the goal will be. Cam down to you.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
No, I was just gonna say flag on the play
that it will be holding against Cleveland. What's that play?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well, there you go, so holding on the Rams right
out of the gate. That's gonna be a ten yard
penalty and that'll put him back down the way. First
and twenty coming up holding on Cleveland. That was, of
course the quarterback handing it to Newkirk. Holdings called on
the line, and they'll send him back here with the
first and twenty now on they're seventeen.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, I mean we saw Newkirk run out there, you know,
straight to the sideline and didn't get much rolling there
about a few yards. But you know that all goes
away with that penalty flag.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
So Cleveland with negative yardage so far in this game,
negative ten. It's first and twenty on the seventeen is
right now your quarterback again obviously for Cleveland, ready for
the snap. High snap goes to number eight. He'll fire
catch again to Newkirk. Newkirk now on the Cleveland side,
and he's got room to run. He'll power all the

(07:49):
way from the seventeen to around midfield. He'll almost end
up in Comets territory, big big push there, and it
will be the Rams. First down is numbered nine. Everett Borden,
the sophomore to the fresh or to the sophomore A
Marion Newkirk and a Marian Newkirk gets it about to
midfield first intent on the forty eight for the Rams.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, I mean that was you know, a short, very
short pass, but you know, got a lot of yards
you know, out of that and got around the fifty
yard line. So good pickup for Cleveland on that second play.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Ready for the snap of the first and ten, it's
new Kirk again. He'll go up the middle. Comets line
will stop him. He might get a pickup of maybe five.
That's again the handoff from Everett Borden, the quarterback, sophomore
of the sophomore a Marian Newkirk. Newkirk will get there
a pickup of four. Actually, they're gonna call down second
and six on the forty eight. But the thing is

(08:46):
the opening series was negative ten back on holding on Cleveland.
Now they're running the football and they're going right up
the middle with it.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, so far it's been the new Kirk show. You know,
he's gotten three plays straight to him, and you know
he's been run a lot. As we see a good
powerful run here on second down. I think he'll be
they'll give him the first down here for Cleveland rams
at Kim.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
They are definitely trying to wear out the defensive line
of Clayton, if you will, And right now it's working
for Cleveland's favor. It's of course it's born into New Kirka,
that's all we're seeing right now, but not into the deuce.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
I was gonna say, but the comments have to do
a better job tackling. They've had mistackle after mistackle after mistackles.
Can you can't just tackle from the side with your arms.
You got to wrap him up and take him down.
I know Mark talks about that endlessly, and we've already
seen probably six mistackles already in this game.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well, it's gonna be first and ten on the forty
one right now for Cleveland, they're in Comets territory. Now
they're gonna change things up a little bit. Is they're
gonna actually call whistle here and blow that play dead
that was intended for Maurice McCoy, the running back sophomore.
Finally something besides of course quarterback boarding to New kirk

(10:03):
and now it was of course boarding to McCoy. But
there's a flag on the play. I think they're gonna
call them holding. Actually they're gonna yeah, it's actually I
think off sides and they'll back them up five yards
on Cleveland here.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
Yeah, that was a false start. The men in motion
kind of came forward.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I got you. That's why you're down where you are, camps,
because we are.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Not in the very nice we are, right, I want
to stand up and.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Block everybody's view. First and fifteen ball on the forty
six this time quarterback keeper run with it QB keeper
of course by Everett Borden, the sophomore, and that'll pick
him up. Now about we'll see about a pick up
a three here, second and eleven, second and well, second

(10:50):
and thirteen. They actually gave them to Ryan.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, they give them to And you know that's the
first time I've seen you know, Clayton get a nice
tackle there and you know stop them for not that
many yards. So you know, this is this good for
Clayton's defense finally, you know, being tackle ready to set up.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Now what will be a long throw? Long throw catch
made number nine quarterback. That's Everett Bourdon. He'll get it
into the hands of it's like number eleven. I believe
those Jaden Wiley number fifteen. I think Boltim Baltimore number four,
Jaden Baltimore. So moving the chains is the Rams and

(11:36):
they're trying to score and they're opening series here first
and ten. Paul on the thirty Everett Bourning this time
a big stop by the Comets defense. It was up
the middle by Maurice McCoy. But the running back sophomore

(11:58):
brought down. Second down coming up here, maybe a loss
of a yard. It might be second and eleven. We'll
wait to see what they doing. The m d the
scoreboard here.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
They're gonna give him a second and ten here, so
no pick up, no going on that last play.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Cam down to you. We'll check him with Kim in
a moment. By the way, four minutes gone, already four
eight minutes left here they are playing four and twelve
minute quarters. As we go down to boarding, low snap,
he's got room. He's gonna go right up the middle
with it, and the Comets defenders will bring him down.
Of course, that's number forty five with a tackle on
the defense for Clayton, and of course that was the

(12:37):
player of Preston Cofield, the sophomore. Cam back down to
you at All State sideline report here in the early
series for Cleveland.

Speaker 6 (12:50):
No, I was just gonna make a comment on that
last play that when you were wondering if he had
lost a yard, that he was got back to the
line of scrimmage obviously on this previous play picked up
just a couple of yards. Gonna be third long for
the comments. See if they can get a stop.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
And they're trying so hard to wrap him up. But
obviously number twenty Morris McCoy now the running back moving
the chains that it'll be a first down again, first
down for the Rams as they'll down move their way
closer to the red zone. They are in the red
zone for the first time tonight, by the way they've

(13:25):
held onto the football the first five minutes of this game,
in this first series, Ryan.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Yeah, they've they've chewed up a little bit of clock here,
you know, in the first quarter, so you know they're
able to pass and run and you know, use that clock.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
They'll go again, board in fires to the end zone.
Anybody home. No, it was on the far left pylon
of the Cleveland sideline intended for number twenty again and
it is no good incomplete here.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Yeah, and he had him wide open in the end zone.
He had his defender beat, but the quarterback just overthrew them.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, ever threw the football there second and ten in
the red zone on the eighteen first throw. No good,
Let's see what Borning's gonna beer sieve fifth time. So
they got trips to the left about two or three.
None on the right side. We actually correction two on
the right, so five in total motion movement. They're gonna

(14:23):
toss it down to McCoy butterfingers behind the QB of
Born and it's incomplete and we got a third down
coming up here.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, we bring up a third down. And you know
we've seen a lot of plays like that for Cleveland.
You know, those passes out to the side, you know,
not really over the top, they're just pitches out to
the side of down.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Yeah, Kim, that is not necessarily an incomplete pass. That
was but behind that was a backwards pass of that pass.
Instead of now being at the line of scrimmage, they're
gonna lose.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
They lost yardage. Yeah, you're exactly right, Kim. It's not
just ins on that holy cume. Only you're gonna back
up the rams to hear a big mistake there behind
the quarterback a boarder and it's not just third town.
Now we got a we'll find out when they quick

(15:10):
the call. Here it looks like it's gonna be a
loss of at least eight. Here we go third and
long throw.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
Oh, it's called its interceptin in intercepting comments. Got it
in interception comments Number fourteen say that Rogers with to
takeaway forty sex.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
And that was a fantastic play because the receiver he
had that catch and fourteen just came in and took
it away from him. He wanted it more and he
got it. Got the turnover for the comment it.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Was intended on a third and long for Jada Bob Timore.
Rogers instead took it away like taking the last weeks
of Halloween candy in the bucket for trick or treating,
and it's gonna be comments fall.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah, that was a great play. You know he he
ripped the ball away and you know he brought that
ball back, you know, about to the forty three the
thirty nine line yard line, so you know they got
a Clayton got a lot of yards out of there
and first down.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
And now we'll start with Bagley, quarterback QB one for
the JV squad intended for Rafao Thompson of the Cleveland
line incomplete second and ten coming up on the thirty nine,
so they'll put the ball back in place. Clock is
running here once they blow the whistle and snap the

(16:33):
ball where it's seven minutes remaining in the first quarter.
Perfect night for football. The rain is gone here in
seatown and the battle of the Sea Town team is
going at it between Cleveland and Clayton. Forty eight number
five of the tackle for the Rams, and of course
that was Cayden Sanders the linebacker with the help of

(16:54):
also or fion no Jozo, and it's a pickup of four.
It's thirty and six for the Comics as they are
still driving to midfield here trying to get in Rams territory.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Ryan, Yeah, I mean, Clayton's just trying to get something
going here. You know, those first two plays didn't get much,
you know, going, so you.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Know, oh, Cleveland, job, Cleaveton, Jeffs. They jumped off sides
on the Rams and it's gonna give up us another
five Comics will now have a thirty one.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, I mean Cleveland definitely did not need that to happen.
You know, they got Clayton backed up on a third
and six, and now it's a third and one, and
you just need a short run and a short game
to get that first.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
A third and six now becomes a third and short
for the Comets that they're opening series based on an
interception by number fourteen of Xavion Rogers. Rogers intercepted it,
and now the Comets are driving, taking the momentium the
first series away from the Rams, but they are trying
to battle back. They're gonna say that the ball was
on the ground. It's not a turnover Cleveland. It'll be

(17:57):
Comets ball. And it also looks like it'll be a
third and short here.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
It looks like the rest of it.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
They are going to say first down, so that'll be
are at Well Exterior Services first down, Kim.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah, they were just a little late changing the marker,
but that was third and short. He got the first
down right at the fifty yard line, he sure did.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Third and short becomes down a first intenda and they
are now in Rams territory.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
They're gonna lose a couple on that one.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, they are. They're gonna go back about two or three. No,
number twenty two, Braylan Smith running the football. It was
Braylan Smith looks like number fourteen A Weaver, George Weaver
and others on the tackle there Brandon Weaver number forty two,
by apologies, and that one I'll set up a second

(18:46):
and thirteen and the forty seven Ryan for the Comets.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, I mean on that last play you live badly,
you know how to jump almost to catch that snapping.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Badly, Throw perfect to the deuce London Golden. He'll pick
up as he's about four shot of a fourth first down.
You were saying, second and thirty four coming up.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, you know, you know all season we've been watching
Clayton JV. You know their problems have been with their
snaps low and high, and you know that might become
a factor. And in tonight's game of you know, just
getting those snaps consistent.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Becoming a third and four coming up down for the Comets,
trying to keep the stride alive. They're finally heading into
Rams territory. Thirty four on the forty nine Badley number
seven high snap goes right up the middle to twenty
two the double duce running Brailldge Smith, the freshman he
might be a yard. He might have went back to

(19:39):
the line of scrimmage. Let's just be honest. Fourth down
coming up here. It looks like they're going to go
for it on a fourth and four. Yeah, no game
by Smith. The last play.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
The offense is staying out here. So fourth and four so,
you know, a big crucial play for cleyon here.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
The Grins hands began to rock behind us on the
US side. Hike snap by Bagley, throw a catch. Oh, incomplete.
There's London golden incomplete there as it was right near
the first down marker. Unfortunately it is incomplete.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Eight.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
They blew the whistle. Yes, Kim going off. There is
the flag on the play.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Thank you, Kim. There's a flag on on the offense.
With the paint radio, they're gonna call off side on Cleveland,
off sides on Cleveland. It's a Comets first down. Offside
on the Rams. Move the chains, Comets first down. That's
the gift. Take those gifts and use them if you're
in the Comets. Weren't running the offense right now, Ryan Tomford.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yeah, I mean Clayton's have been bailed out twice here,
you know, with the you know, offside the five Doard
penalties on that third down. And now on fourth and.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
One, Bagley going to the far right Cleveland side on
a handoff that was London golden. Looks like a catch
was made or a rundone there pick up of about
five or six second and four number fifteen for the
Rams of Chadan Wiley making the tackle, and this one,
I'll set up a second and four play clock down

(21:16):
to fifteen. They are heading towards the doubby energy red
zone and they're gonna say second in five half the
distance baggling. Now up the middle handoff and we'll see
what QB keeper there by bagling. We seen Bugley do
Bagley do things like that. I think he got a
couple on that last play third and five one. I'll

(21:37):
be about a third and two coming up here, a
second and five only about a thirty two. We'll see
what goes on here. Now with three point thirty left
to go here, in the first quarter of this game,
Rams had the ball ball got intercepted by number fourteen
Zavon Rodgers, and since then the Comets have now been

(21:58):
carrying the momentum into the red zone. Another play up
the middle, they're gonna call fourth and three came down
to you for another all state sateline report. I thought
she was charming in my apologies. Maybe not.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
No, I hadn't turned it on.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
But they're gonna go for it.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
Bit of a delay, yeah, do it looks like they're
gonna go for it again. Watch for their hard count,
see if they can draw another off side.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Clayton has gone off sides two occasions.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
In and they tried it number seven.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I thought he tried to do it again. Number seven.
Kylan Moore thought he jumped. They said, no, he didn't
break that that plane. But they're gonna still show signs
of pressure and blitz. It's Baggley on a fourth, Dawn Cat.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Chains the deuce, the deuce.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
William Shaw catching the football. It's a first and ten
in the red zone for the Comets.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah, another big play there, you know, keeping the drive alive.
And you know Clayton is you know, had a few
of those plays.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Soar a fourth and short, fourth and three to be exact,
Bagley right down the Comets line to william Shaw and
the deuce gets to the first down marker and the
Comets continue to drive, moving up the field more yardage

(23:20):
move the chains and keep the clock running. That was
a catch by number three Rafael Thompson on the Cleveland sideline.
It was a pickup of what eight yards maybe eight?
Second and two coming up, and the Comets are nearing
the goal line here at John Jacobs Stadium.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Ryan, Yeah, they're getting close. You know, they're within inside
the twenty yard line. They're in the red zone, so
you know, hopefully they can get a score here on
their first drive.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Here we go, let's go at Bagley and they'll be
going right up the middle. Let's see what goes on
here as the rams making us stop a handman, it's.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
Gonna be it's gonna be close. Looks like he got
back to the line of scrimmage. They're gonna be short.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yay yard thirty one coming up, thirty one, third and
one coming up. Ball is on around around the fifteen
yard line. It is third and one of the fifteen
one yard to keep the drive alive and get another
set of fresh downs on their series. In putting drive

(24:25):
after an interception for the comments by Avon Rogers checking
the play clock, it looks like there might be a
change and they're gonna have to call for a time
out time out to avoid the delay of game, and
Bagley was quick to call for a timeout, and they
will take a time out. We'll take one with him.
This is Cobbens football.

Looked like one of those equipment violations that the officials
are keep an eye on.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, they put really strictly enforcing that. This year. Another
equipment violation on the rams for a player. It's Bagley
keeps it. He's gonna drive, He's gonna go. Is he there?
It's just shying a goal line.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
They dragged him down.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Wow, it is first and it is gonna be first
and goal on the one. By the way, that started
on an interception on the fourteen and the exog touchdown
comment say strike.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
First here in Cleveland, but there is a flag on
the play.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
A flag on the play though, touchdown being shown, but
there's a flag on the play.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
False start comments. Wow, that's a huge penalty when you
have first and goal on the one and now you
back five yards and the comments were trying to Yeah,
the comments were trying to go up tempo and trying
to get the snap off quickly to catch the Cleveland
defense on off guard. Backfired on them.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Ryan, that's heartbreaking. You literally first and goal up the middle, touchdown,
you get called for obviously a penalty, and now you
gotta try to go again now. But the first and
goal on the six, will they get there? They're gonna
have to push a hustle away right up the middle again.
Oh boy, number forty two on the tackle for the
Rams of Brandon Weaver. We've been saving his name a

(27:35):
lot tonight. That, by the way, was.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
All right.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Second, second and goal from the five, a pickup of one.
And obviously we're also down to twelve seconds left in
the first quarter. This might be the last play, or
they might let the clock run down. It looks like
they might just do that play. Clock is at eight,
scoreclock is at two, and they're gonna end the first quarter.

(28:03):
That's exactly what they're gonna do. Twelve minutes down here
at John Jacobs Stadium, still no score, but the Comets
are driving. It is first in goal on the five.

Welcome back to coverage of Comets football along with Ryan
tom Ford. I'm Wesley Outlet. Our all state sideline reporter
is Kim Winslow as always and Kim right it back
now as we flip flop him on the field where

(29:31):
it all started for Clayton on the interception for Xavion
Rogers first and goal on the five. Still coming up
short though.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Yeah, they're gonna lose yards on that one. It's gonna
back them up, not the six and a half. Maybe
they'll spot it back at the six. But you know,
normally in JV a lot of times, more times than not,
they played ten minute quarters. They happen to be playing
twelve minute quarters. And if you realize in that first
quarter each team had one possession, that's right. Cleveland had
it for just over five minutes. Comments had it shy

(30:00):
of seven minutes and continues still has that.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yes, series, like you said, that started on the fourteen
as now Bagley throws come, it's in the end zone.
It is good, Rafael Thompson touchdown. Comments, So they strike first,
took a little time, ran the clock down. They're opening
series though. They push it on an interception by Xavion Rogers.

(30:24):
They go from one end of the field to the
other side of Kingdom, come here in Rams country and
they score touchdown against six.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Ryan. Yeah, I mean we've only seen two drives so far.
You know, both teams wasting a lot of using that
clock a lot, you know, in this first half. And
you know it's great that you know Clayton, you know,
flip the field from the first quarter of the second
quarter and flip that zero to a six.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Tobias Dousblin, We'll get ready to tack on the pat
through the uprights. It is good. It's seven zero. Crank
up the band. Seaman behind us comments on the board.

(31:21):
Seven zero. The cman craning, firing up the crowd behind us. Yes,
we're amongst the elements on the US side of John Jacobs.
Let's get out of Kim Winsley. By the way, that
touchdown recap presented by Eastern Technical Design. She's near the
goal line, Kim Winslow.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
He had commas took it sixty one yards after that interception,
and they were able to They faced a couple of
fourth down plays. They were helped out by a couple
of Cleveland Ram penalties, but they were also able to
move the ball themselves. They almost hurt themselves again that
first and goal on the one penalty backed him up
to the sixth, but they were able to get it
in the end zone.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
They are on the board party place. Kim one yards.
Was about thirteen.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
Plays yet that I did not track.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
I think it was thirteen. I really do thirteen play
sixty one yards.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
And most of it was on the ground. For the comments.
There was a one one play out there to Thompson
and then obviously the throw to the end zone. Big
thanks lead just two passing plays probably on that drive.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Thanks again to Tracy Brown Eastern Technical designs. And now
the Rams going from one side of the field to
the other, and the Comets finally read them bring him down.
That of course was Maurice McCoy, the running back sophomore.
Now the Comets defense has got to come back and respond.
Obviously they did right, I mean the Cleveland on a

(32:42):
toyed with Clayton's defense. But then there was the interception
that was made at the fourteen, and I got to
give credit to sophomore's Avon Rodgers, number fourteen. It started
with him of the defense at the fourteen intercepting the
football and was able to take it all the way
to the end zone. Again, it took thirteen plays, but
in sixty one yards. The Clayton does drive. And now

(33:03):
we'll see what the Comets defense will do. Now for
the Rams and their second series, they'll go up the middle.
That's number nine. By the way of effort. Borden Kim
winslow down to you for another All State sideline report.
Here's something also to think about. We really don't brag

(33:25):
a lot about the JV football, right, but we do
know that in years past, at least for five or
six years, it has been consecutive conference championships for Cleveland.
That's not gonna happen this year, but Cleveland has not
been Clayton has not been Cleveland a while. On the
JV side, this could possibly become in a reality tonight.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Also, Yeah, still a long ways to go. Obviously, this
is a talented Cleveland Rams JV team. They made that
mistake on the interception because they were driving the ball,
and uh so they're gonna try and get those points back.
But I will tell you, you know, we've had a
lot of weather this week, yes, and you can tell
this field is getting some wear and tear already. Just

(34:08):
after one quarter in this game.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
One of the things that coach Scott Chadmick told us
in the Coach's Corner, which you'll hear in the All
State pregame kickoff tomorrow night at six point thirty, was
he was glad that we have turf at Nixon Fowler
Stadium and the practice was kind of limited or changed around.
He felt very comfortable for them preparing for this game.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah, I mean we did have a lot of that reign,
and you know that definitely can affect, you know, team's
preparation for games like this. You know, you can't get
out on the field to do what that's why you
want to do, and you know you just have to
make do with what you have.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
So the Rams now beginning to head towards Comets territory.
First in ten on the forty seven. On the first down,
looks like it was Maurice mc Yeah, Maurice McCoy running
the football again to the Cleveland side.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
To lose about a yard on that run. So it'll
be uh about se an eleven.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Here it does looks like Sebastian Akcevito number fifteen being
credited for the tackle. And here we go down with
a seven zero score. The cheerleaders on the Commet side
firing up the crowd, and we get ready now for
a second and ten on the forty eighth, the Rams
going right up the middle. Shane's honestly, Ryan of what

(35:20):
Baggley did for the comments, they're just not getting a drive,
if you will, from from Everett Borden to Maurice McCoy
like Clayton did.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah. I mean, but we've seen you know, uh, Cleveland,
you know, have a few big plays, you know with
blockers out in front. We saw that on the first drive.
So you know, if Cleveland, you know, once again, anything going.
They just need one of those big old plays and
you know, get the ball up.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
The field is a third and six now as Bordon
going up the middle, big drive, big run, big push,
he's going. McCoy will get brought down. However, it will
move the chains. It will be a first down number.
Looks like number one of William Shaw was the man
that made the stop. But it will move the rams.

(36:11):
First in ten on the twenty six. We're at the
top of the hour. We need to pause for station identification.
This is Commage Football on CRN.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
This is the Community Radio Network w CRN eight seven
point nine FM. Clayton Connor, Smithfield, North Carolina. Proud to
be in the USA. We are see R and.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Welcome back to our coverage here at John Jacobs Stadium,
the Battle of the Sea Town Football Throwdown JV Tonight
Varsity Tomorrow Nixon Fowler Stadium. Pregame coverage. Will we begin
at six thirty. Kickoff at seven thirty and a first
and ten of the twenty six seeds. The Ram go
right up the middle again at Ryan and they're moving
the chains. About a pickup of about four second and
four coming up here now for Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
Yeah, I mean we saw, you know, two plays ago.
You know they the Rams did get that one big
explosive play and you know it sees them, you know,
close to the red zone here, so they're driving down
the field.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Second and six born in fires anybody home? Broke it up?
Great coverage, Kim Winslow. No flags, you're standing near the
red zone at the ten. No flags. Incomplete third and
six coming up for Cleveland. Great defensive stoff.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
There and now again was Avon Rodgers.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
How he intercepted?

Speaker 6 (37:32):
Yeah, football, he almost had a chance to intercept that,
but he broke up the pass. Great defensive play by him.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Kept saveon Rodgers. Great call there, stick keeping it from
being a six for the Rams. And it is incomplete
third and six ball on the twenty two for Cleveland.
They're in comets territory boarding. I thought it was gonna
be a QB keeper instead, will hand it off. There's
a flag of the play as that gets McCoy in
the end zone. No touchdown. I think this is coming back.

(38:07):
You can say that if you want, but I didn't
see anybody signal touchdown. I don't think it's gonna count camp.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
It is gonna be a block in the back on
the rams.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Blocking the back on the rams, this will not be
a touchdown. The PA announcers giving out hashtag fake news,
black in the back. And I noticed Ryan that the
referee never showed he went like this, and he went
just like that. He was never showing any sign of
putting the hands up to show touchdown. So you knew

(38:36):
right then and there that it was a penalty on Cleveland.
Blocking the back is a big one. They're gonna back
them up here, be about a third and twenty one
coming up. They're back at their twenty two. Let's see
how they go down and McCoy gets another shot at

(38:58):
it far left, another five. I gets thrown in, brought
down at around the eleven twelve yard line. That's Sebastianesvito
making the tackle. There's a flag on the place again.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
That's gonna back them up again. That certainly looked like
holding from here, and it is holding on lackball.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Dean on Cleveland. What's that song? Two steps forward and
three steps back, they're going ten steps back.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah, I mean they're you know, they had a you know,
the touchdown and then the first down, and both of
those won't count as you know, they just keep on
going backwards and they'll fund themselves. I believe with the
third and sixteen here, I believe, big mistake. So yeah,
two big mistakes, and you know, they just mistakes that
you don't really need to make, you know, they they

(39:43):
you know, those those penalties were coming, you know, once
they got again and then the penalties come, so, you know,
just unnecessary penalties.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Perfect not for football. By the way, cloudy sky today
sun finally broke through after what three days straight of rain?
Fifty seven degrees right, not gonna get down the forties
tonight has now boarded well, fire to the end zone.
Anybody home, he catches it, it is being showed no

(40:12):
touchdown yet, it's just shy. He's shy of the goal
line at the one. Kim.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Yeah, he was sliding as he caught it, and it's
gonna be inside the one though.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Hold on, are they discussing it here?

Speaker 13 (40:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (40:25):
They said, hold the spot for the chains.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
What I'm confused, Kim.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
They're calling touchdown. We're no. They're saying no touchdown, but
the officials down there telling them no touchdown.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
No touchdown, no touchdown. Cleveland's saying they got a touchdown,
but the saw a touchdown.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
Looks like there was a flag on the play. They wow, potentially,
let's see what they're gonna call.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
So the clocks have got to be set. They're at zero.
The referees are like deer in the headlight. Try now,
trying to figure out what to call.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
You know, So now the personal comets personal foul of
the comets must have been rough in the pass or something.
But where the flag was thrown, something after the the
ball was thrown. But again it's already inside the one
is essentially negligible.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
I'll tell you what came and Ryan that that spot
in the press box looks very vacant where we were
going to be at all night.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
You know.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
That's that's why well more snarly set home more prouded.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
It was, yeah, more importantly about it being vacant.

Speaker 6 (41:36):
That was actually backing it up.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
It's a yeah, a penalty on Cleveland actually instead it
might be a penalty on Cleveland, and this would be
the third straight penalty called on the Rams.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Wow, I thought, yeah, they originally signaled it on the comets.
They must have corrected themselves again. That was going to
be first and goal in side the one like literally
first in inches, and instead that is going to back
him up to just outside the fifteen yard line.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
So it is a first down, but there is a
penalty on the Rams and he backs them up now
to a first and ten on the sixteen yard line.
Two times Cleveland snake bit of reaching the goal line
and something gets taken away from them. Here we go.
Now another keeper, this Bye by boarding QB keeper by boarding.

(42:36):
He gets some big pushing up the field, but he's
on at the gold line just yet.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Ryan, Yeah, I'll get about I believe eight yards there.
So you know, second and two a good pick up there,
you know, on first I.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
Think they're going to give him nine.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Looks like let's go second and one coming up. Actually,
you're right, Kim, were second and one on the seven.
As we're heading on the midway point of the second
quarter first half, action comments are leading, but the Rams
are threatening and now it looks like Boarding was a
little frustrated with his man running miscommunication. Play clock down
to two and they get it off and they're gonna

(43:11):
go up the middle with it. Is he in there? Yes,
he is touchdown Cleveland. The Rams have scored. That was
of course Maurice McCoy, the running back sophomore from the
handoff by the cornerback of Everett Boarding and Kim. A

(43:33):
long drive now puts Cleveland on the board. It is
seven six and now the lineup for the pat here.
I would think they would go for the for the
pat Ryan, I don't know they're actually gonna gonna try
to go for two. They're gonna be greedy and try
to go for two. Hopefully the comments defense will stop them.
There's whistles here.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Yeah, somebody moved it. I'm thinking it could be off
sides unless he was drawn off sides. Yep, off sides
on the Commons makes.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
That offside encroachment on Clayton.

Speaker 6 (44:05):
Makes that play a little bit easier. Now for half
the distance to the goal, put it at the two
yard line.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
That says, actually right, half the distance to the goal.
By the way, don't forget to make one tomorrow night.
Clayton by the way, is in the playoffs. They have
secured the first round by for the State Championship Football
Playoffs tournament, and obviously they are in round number one two.

(44:31):
They have not officially gave all the unveiling of all
that yet, but the big one is tomorrow night, Cleveland Clayton,
Tomorrow night, six point thirty kickoffs, seven thirty is they're
gonna go up the middle. McCoy, he'll keep it. He
scored the touchdown, he gets the two point conversion, and
just like that, the Rams are now up by one.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Yeah, the Rams find theirselves up by one, you know,
in this eight to seven contest. And you know, we've
both teams have used a lot of clock here. You know,
we've only had three drives. You know, we're down to
five thirty nine left in the second quarter. So you know, Clayton,
you know, if they want to score right here before
the end of the half, they're gonna have to you know,
do a drive quite quickly.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Because, by the way, remember that the Comets will receive
the football to start the third quarter as well.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Ryan.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Yeah, so there's a little, a little you know, extra
golden ticket if you will.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Yeah, I mean, if you're getting the ball in the
second half. First, you know, you want to score and
then get the ball back and you know, score again,
and you know, get two scores on the board.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Down to camp.

Speaker 6 (45:30):
Yeah, and I'm kudos to Cleveland. They had about thirty
five yards and penalties on that drive and they were
able to overcome it and still put the ball in
the end zone. So they definitely made up some yards
on that. You know, a lot of times, if you're
gonna have that many penalties, you're probably shoot yourself in
the foot. They almost did, but they overcame it. They

(45:50):
have now taken the lead over the Comets eight eight
to seven.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Expect nothing different right now. It is the bottle that
is the Rams and the Corts, Cleveland, Clayton here jv
Tonight Varsity tomorrow. Five point thirty nine left to go
in the first half of the second quarter, and right
now the Rams are up by one and Comets touched
the football. Raphael gotta get on it. He will, That's
Rafael Thompson, but they're gonna push him back as he

(46:17):
tries to drive. That'll be a man. Clayton's gonna be
in a pretty bad spot here.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
Yeah, I mean they're gonna be deep in their own territories.
They're gonna have a lot of work to go here.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be on about the
twelve yard line, so commentson got a long ways to
go on this drive. Last time they own their drive
started on the thirty nine yard line. A little bit
further to go this time.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
Yeah, they got the hand on the football.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
Eight yards to go?

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Wow any eight yards sixty one yarns. Last time when
they drove to the end zone, thirteen plays to get
it done. Now Clayton is gonna have to push here
from the twelve and there's already dirty laundry on the
field again. False star called on the comets, so i'll

(47:08):
back him up. Hey, by the way, Happy birthday to
my dad, Billy Outland celibriting his sixty second birthday today.
Happy birthday Dad.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
So Clay's going to find themselves even with more yards.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Say love you Dad. I think I need to say that, right,
I love you d Yeah.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
Yeah, they called that penalty on the comments, but they
moved it back against. They called it off sides on
the rams.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Now they going backwards now camp they called it.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
They initially called it on the Comets.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
It's like, it's yeah, the referee calls it on Clayton,
but the it's ability on Cleveland actually, so it's in
favor of the Comets. First and five on the seventeen
five minutes remaining here in the first half of this game.

(48:03):
By the way, obviously you know the Community Radio Network,
we do a lot of stuff with Wake County Speedway,
Ryan being the Wake County Speedway TV producer, and we
obviously the relationship we have with mister Charlie Hanson or
the community herding today with the passing of his mom,
Miss Linda Bud Hanson. She passed away today after a

(48:25):
long battle with cancer. Cancer sucks, and obviously on behalf
of the entire seer in community Wake County Speedway as well,
our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hanson family.
All right, first and two another first down at well
Exterior Services. First down, and it's a long throw and
it is overshot, intended for the deuce of London Golden.

(48:49):
It's incomplete and you got a first and long. Could
have been a big could have been a big play there, Ryan,
but just overshot, just overshot it.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Yeah, I mean those are some of the places you
want to do. You know, when you get first, first
and ten, you know, maybe you take a shot with
you know, four forty five left to go here.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
He just shows you how good of an arm Bagley's
got too if he needs to, right, He's fired it
a couple of times, and this time play blown dead
after losing a lot of yards. There was obviously Jayden Jones, No, no, no,
I'm sorry, that's Chadwick. Yes, Chadwick, Yeah, in.

Speaker 6 (49:30):
The backfield as number fifty one for the Rems. He
just shot through that Caydens the line at the comments
and was able to get Chadwick in the backfield.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
The noseguard offensive tackle Caden Melvin, the one that made
the stomp there of course on Dory and Chadwick. And
this one, I'll come up with a third and twelve,
four minutes left to go here in the first half,
Bagley fires and no one home. It looked like it
was firing at my direction. It was intended for the
deuce william Shaw. But it is complete, incomplete. Fourth and twelve,

(50:02):
I'm thinking you're gonna have to punt the football here, Ryan.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
Yep, the punt team is coming out here for Clayton,
and you know that that's you know, a drive that
you definitely don't want to have and for for Clayton.
But you know, they just need to get us stop
here and you know, just go into halftime and you'll
get the ball back in the second hand.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
You need to get another we need to get another interception.
That'd be great, right what happened earlier, that won't work.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
As well, that's sir. Well anyhow, oh kick here and wow,
the returners slipped about midfield.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
He lost his footing and uh, I thought about lost
the football. There got a whistle and here we go.
And that could have been a perfect thing for Clayton
because if if they would have touched the football and
live ball, Clayton could have dug for it.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
I think he got it back. He did touch it
and it was a long guy. But but yeah, Cleveland
was able to just dive on and then they'll start
third drive, you know, right about midfield.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
About midfield around the forty five or so first and
ten on the forty six to be exact. And they
have got to find a way to just stop Cleveland,
even just to kill this series, if you will, Kim winslow.
Three forty left to go, and let me say this,
this is still plenty of time. You know they always
talk about the two minute offense. Well, we need a
two minute defense to make a stop here and not

(51:30):
let Clayton. Let Cleveland score, if you will. And they
already moved the chains. It's a first down, first and
ten on the thirty four for the Rams. Tell them
to roll the clock and they will. I got wall.
Did he fumble QB keeper by Bordon? That's again Everett Borden.

(51:52):
I thought he lost the football. He holds on to
it now and at least a pickup of at least
one or two coming up second down in eight.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Yeah, I believe they're just gonna give him one yard here,
so we'll be second to nine.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
And okay, second and nine, thank you, Ryan Ball. On
the thirty three, three fifteen, three minutes left here in
the first half, Bording goes to McCoy. McCoy up the middle.
Comet's defense raid it read, it drops him. He might

(52:23):
have got a yard or two maybe three third and six,
third and seven coming up a pickup of two there,
Comet's defense trying to hold Cleveland here. They just gotta
not let him get this first down on a third
and seven.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
We'll get up.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
We got a tome out here, we have a time out.
We'll take one with hi. Missus comets football.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Well, timeout is about to expire. Was a very quick timeout,
if you will. And they're right back out on the
field again. Come and see to stop and they're not
gonna be able to get one. He's pushing, he is driving,
he's running to the end zone. Touchdown Cleveland number two.

(53:38):
Amria Newkirk at the cornerback, Sophomore finds the end zone.
Amrio Newkirk again thirty one yards on a thirty three
to the end zone. And this is not what Clayton needed.
Here here comes the Here comes the Rams. Up now
by seven here.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
Yeah, I mean, that's definitely what you don't need. But
you know, we see when here going for two again.
So you know, if you're Clayton, you just need to
stop here on this two point conversion and you know,
keep it a you know, a one score game.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Up the middle. Two point conversion. It is good. Just
like that, it is sixteen to seven. So now you've
got what about a nine point.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
League, nine point lead, two possession game, and just like that, it's.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
A nine point league for the Rams, a two possession
game here and the Comets are in the listen. Still
plenty of time came down to you can we emphasize
on that. I know that you're down there where the
score happened with of course some are a new kirk
flid of the end zone of the two point conversion.
Still got two and a half minutes left to go
here in the first half. You can still run the
football and do something here.

Speaker 6 (54:56):
Yeah, we'll see if the Comics can get that one back. Obviously,
that would have been a huge stop for the defense
if they could have kept the Rams off the scoreboard,
as the Comets will receive the ball first in the
second half, so if they could have held them scoreless
and then got the ball back. But now, like you said,
two and a half minutes left, got some timeouts in
the pockets. Let's see if the Comets can get something
going and get some better field starting field possession this

(55:19):
time as a last possession they were at They started
out at the twelve yard line, so any little bit
better field position and get the ball moving quickly.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Two thirty eight left to go here in the first half.
It is now the Rams sixteen, Comets nine. See her
in Thursday Night Football, our last one of the year
last night. Where's the season gone right? I'm telling you
Comets this time, get a hand on it. Gotta run.
They got a gap, they got a lane, and they're
gonna push. He's got blocked. Whoa what a hit number three.

(55:51):
Rafael Thompson.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
Stopped him right in this track there.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Christian Clark, the man that made the big stop there
on the number three. He gets right back up, dusts
it off. Finch Wallace with a big hit too. That
is football. He did get a good run though, first
and ten for the Comets on the forty.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
Yeah, that was a good return. And you know they
still have two thirty left on the block, so you
know possibility of you know, getting some points on the board.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
Here, and that's actually going to be at the thirty two.
They still had the kid, Yeah, they had it still
when they kicked off high.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
Snap and they almost lost the football. I think they
did these aball son of a biscuit turnover commets rams
get it back.

Speaker 6 (56:38):
That was very unfortunate for the comments.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
Listen, it's starting with a high snap to Jaden Rogers.
When Rogers finally pulled it in, everybody was in panic mode.
The ball dropped, it's a fumble and Cleveland will get
the football back in excellent field position here first and
ten on the twenty eight. Here, Ryan, this is not

(57:03):
good for Clayton.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
I mean we've seen that a few times for playing,
you know with the higher and lows nuns and you know,
just having trouble to get that ball to the quarterback.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Let's go to Bordon boarding up the middle too. Of
course number two a new Kirk Clayton will make a
stomp that time. Of course it's number one of Williams Shaw.
William Shaw the deuce bringing down a Marian Newkirk. But
it will give them a first down for the Rams
and they are driving already into the red zone. Hey,

(57:34):
by the way, don't forget Tomorrow night coverage begins at
six point thirty from Nixon Fowler Stadium. Kick off at
seven point thirty Cleveland and Clayton on the Community Radio network.
Under two minutes remaining, it's a sixteen to seven nine
point league for the Rams and maybe more unless Clayton
could stop him here with one hundred seconds remaining, that's

(57:57):
Everett Borden running with the football here.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
Yeah, a few good runs here for Cleveland. You know
they're working their way, you know, closer to that goal line,
and you know they're working their way in the end zone,
the red zone. So you know, hopefully Clayton can get
us stop here and you don't get the ball back,
you know, in the second half and get a score.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
As we have a timeout tom out by the Rams
will step away and take one with them. This is
Commets football.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
Jack their backs, check the backs.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Got here?

Speaker 15 (58:30):
Jack the backs gets in your head right good because
every year dozens of children are forgotten in the backseat
of a car by a parent or caregiver. All never
thought it could happen to them. But with changes and routines,
distractions or a sleeping child. It can happen to anyone.
Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly, So
get it in your head. Jack the backs a message

Speaker 3 (59:28):
O're bike as we get ready now for a second
and four on the eleven, the Rams are in the
red zone. They are driving, but I think Comets defense
making a stop there Number forty five Preston Cofield going
to be credited for making the stop here. Cleveland Rams

(59:49):
three and six on the season, the Comets are six
and two. They started with six straight wins and the
last couple of games have been lost as lost to
Southeast Raleigh and of course a loss to South Garner
or to Garner. My apologies, it was a forth fits
from South Corner. It was a loss to Garner and Cam.

(01:00:12):
I know one of the things we talked about last
Thursday night in the JV home finale at Nixon Faler
was they were trying to work on some injuries and
changing and adjustments. Clayton did look promising in their opening series,
but right now they're down by nine here as there's
a time out, Cleveland is threatening with under a minute

(01:00:33):
to score to try to either add on points, either
by six or three.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Ryan, Yeah, I mean it's fourth and two here, so
you know, Cleveland just needed that time out and you know,
come up with the play here. This is a big
fourth down, fourth and two for them.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
Let's check back in down with Kim Winslow. Cam. I
heard you chime in what you got.

Speaker 6 (01:00:54):
Yeah, I had heard you call me. I was talking
to the chain gang a little bit. But like you said,
it's fourth and two. This is a huge play for
the Comet defense. Look for the Rams to keep it
on the ground. They've been picking up some chunk yards,
you know, whether it's a quarterback keeper or it looks
like they're gonna have one man in the backfield number two.

(01:01:16):
I look for the Rams to keep it, keep it
on the ground. And see if the Commet defense can
get a stop.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
Fourth and two on the ten coming up Commets, see
the stop, They're not gonna be able to stop. Put me.
He's gonna rush to the end zone. Touchdown QB keeper
on a fourth and two on the tin every board
in the quarterback decides to put it in the end zone.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Yeah, I mean, Clayton finds herself down by a decent
old chunk here, and you know they just need to
reset and you know, going to this halftime with a
you know, re fresh mind and you know, get that
second half started. But you know, Cleveland Rams, you know
they're doing everything correctly so far this first half, and

(01:02:01):
you don't getting a few scores on the board so far.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Ah, they will go for two to trying to make
this twenty four to seven up the middle. Number two
is good. That is Amaron Newkirk who's having touchdowns tonight.
Am Aria Newkirk will add on another two point conversion
and it is now twenty four to seven, so basically

(01:02:28):
you're down seventeen points.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Well, this is not the way you wanted to end
the season here. But if Clayton loses this game tonight, Kim,
they will have lost three straight games that they played.
Remember the South Corner game is a forfeit, but the
last three games that they've played they've lost. Right now,
they're down by seventeen Kim.

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
Yeah, and that last touchdown four of the Rams coming
off that fumble. You know, Comments gave it to them
in good field position and the Rams took advantage of it.
Commets again, they've only got forty two point nine seconds.
See if they can get a big run back here
and make up some of those points on.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Short, short order. Gotta find a way, I'll task keep
from being out of quicksand if you will, Ryan, and
we need we might need to see Baggy fire the gun.
I mean, I'm I mean, you know, we need we
need something. We need a big play, We need a
we need a kickoff return. Yeah, I mean we couldn't
field position here is what we need, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:03:31):
We see badly. You know, throw the ball, you know
deep already this season and so far this game, so
you know, he can definitely throw the ball and get
a lot of yards on a single play. So you know,
hopefully they could get into field goal range or or
get a touchdown right here before the end. Of the half.
You know, that is what you're hoping as a Clayan fan.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
It'll be number fifty five Barrett Barns to kick it
from the Rams and he will go straight down the line,
bounce it off the ground to our player number three,
Rafael Thompson. Got blockers, got runners, he's selling his feet
and then they swallow him up and then bring him down.

(01:04:14):
And around the thirty and the thirty five, Rafael Thompson
running the football from the Cleveland side to the Comets side.
And it's took some time off the clock. Also, it
will be first in goal presented by at Well Exterior
Services on the thirty four. So Clayton started with the
momentum on an interception by Xavion Rogers for the Comets

(01:04:39):
defense to score. But since then the Rams have had
three unanswered touchdowns. Bagley back in Bagley throw catch made
but quickly brought down. That was William Shaw the deuce
that caught the football, number seven of Kayland Moore, the
outside linebackers sophomore the Rams making the stop. I think

(01:05:02):
he might have got two. Actually they lost yards. Actually
that was a loss of loss of some yards. And
it's gonna be now second and twelve second and thirteen
maybe under twenty seconds remain. I think we're gonna see
one big play coming up, and think it gonna be
a Hill Mary pass. But watching see what goes on,
Badley Fire's got a good arm. Instead, it is intercepted,

(01:05:27):
intercepted by the Rams talking about scooping it up and
snatching it away. That's now a turnover on a fumble,
and now an interception, and there's still time left, mind, Jude,
seven point seven seconds. The Rams are gonna get another
chance to do something here before the clock expires.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
Ryan, Yeah, it seems like everything's going the Rams away.
You know they're getting you know, interceptions and fumbles in
their in their right way, and you know they're getting
points on the board, and hopefully they don't for Clayton's sake,
hopefully they don't score with seven point seven seconds left.
But you know, it just seems like all the momentum

(01:06:09):
is on Cleveland's sideline.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
You ever heard of nightmare on Elm Street. This is
for Clayton, Nightmare on Pullinta Road. Twenty four to seven down,
seventeen now and the Rams are gonna get to run

(01:06:31):
or throw the football again with seven point seven seconds
remaining here at their house at John Jacob Stadium. Before
the half, there is dead silence behind us. And it's
been that way since the first score when the Rams

(01:06:54):
took the touchdown and then they got the two point conversion.
They've been going for two point convert versions all night.
That is why it's eight eight and eight coming now
boarding throw anybody home. No, yes, they run the football,
but the clock is gonna run out nine tenths of

(01:07:15):
a second left.

Speaker 4 (01:07:19):
Something I saw interesting that Cleveland did on that play.
You know, the first thrown the first pass was thrown
and there was a pitch backwards, and you know they
were able to get a few more yards out of
that with the pitch backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
They're gonna let the clock expire, and that is the
end of the first half. It is twenty four to seven.
Still love that vacant spot in our radio booth where
we're supposed to have been out tonight. Nobody in there,
kim down to you. You're taking the first half of
this game. Obviously, twenty four to seven. Coaches have got

(01:07:58):
to find a way to readjust rethinking, get their head,
get get the Comets heads back in the game. Here
they will get the football to start the third quarter.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
Yeah, they kind of. You know, each team had a
possession to start the game. Cleveland put themselves in a
hole with the first interception. Comets capitalized on that their
next two possessions. Though they started out what was it
on the twelve yard line?

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Yes, yes, you know, they end.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
Up turning it over and then on the very next
possession turn it over again. So Comments have got to
take care of the ball if they want to get
back in this game. You know, on the plus side,
they do get the ball to start the second half,
and that first drive is going to be extremely important
for the Comments.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
It's going to be very important. Thank you. Kim Winslow
gets you up, bright, grab you some something to drink
and get some warmth. I know it's starting to get
a little chilly outside. We're filling it as well. Ryan
obviously down. You know what it is, seventeen points and
twenty four to seven year score. What do you think
they got to discuss here over there on that side
lines is like Kim said, they can try to get

(01:08:56):
back in this game.

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
Yeah, I mean, you know, we've only seen Clayton get
points off of a defensive stop and you know with
that interception and then you know, getting that that momentum
going that way. But you know, we haven't seen their
offense really do anything besides that, and you know, they
just need to get their head in a right mindset
and you just start getting a few decent drives and

(01:09:19):
plays getting going, and you know that's all that Clayton
needs to do. You know, we saw them, you know,
have them. When they win games, they they can be,
you know, a very successful team and trying you know,
for Cleveland, they just need to get play out they're
doing and you know they're they're able to just sort
of walk down the field and have some easy score.

(01:09:40):
So from their side, they they're just doing everything right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Clayton Varsity had the comeback game last Friday night at
Chargion Stadium against Garner. The Clayton j M Commets to
cap off their season need to have the comeback game
if they want to all be sleep in the season.
On a high note, we mentioned that Clayton and Cleveland.
Cleveland has took it to Clayton on the JV level

(01:10:07):
for a number of years. Whenever we go to the halftime,
we think our sponsors at the half percent about the
Clayton Peanut Company. I will actually go back and check
the last time Clayton JV won a game against Cleveland.
I mean it's a game that it's probably stat wise
goes as back as far as tomorrow Night's fifteen meeting

(01:10:27):
between Clayton and Cleveland. Right now, Cleveland's eleven and three.
And the last time Clayton beat Cleveland was in twenty
seventeen in the regular season and then in the third
round of the playoffs we had to play them twice.
And since then it has been Cleveland getting it done.
It's a nightmare for the Comets. I say it so

(01:10:52):
many times. It's the Nemesis, It's the Achilles heel, it
is the David than Goliath. It is the slaughter that
needs to happen, and right now Cleveland is making sure
that they're trying to hold on to that. At least
JV moment, we're gonna take a break. We'll think our
sponsors were back here in a little bit. This is
Commage Football, twenty four to seven, Cleveland Rams lead at

(01:11:14):

(01:21:45):
Clayton's got to cut back here in a big way.
They're gonna get in the football to start the third quarter.
Ryan Tomford, I'm west Lee Outlet All State Sideline reporter.
It's Kim Winslow. Hey, Kim told you we do some
homework before the start of the third quarter. Did you
know that since the first time Clayton Comets JV have

(01:22:05):
played Cleveland JV, they have never won a game. They
have not won a game against Cleveland since its inception
in twenty seventeen. Really, yes, ma'am, that.

Speaker 6 (01:22:17):
Is some good trivia you got there.

Speaker 4 (01:22:19):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:22:20):
I did not know that, even though we've probably been
here and witnessed most of those that's right comments are
going to have to do a lot here in the
second half if they want to change that change that trend.

Speaker 3 (01:22:33):
Comments, he in the big third quarter and it needs
to start now and steads OFFI L. Thompson slips on
the wet grass. It's not turf hearing John Jacobs Stadium,
and we talked about the do settling in on our
broadcast position outside. You can make no doubt about it.
The ground is starting to weten up a little bit too.

Speaker 4 (01:22:50):
Yeah. I mean we've seen that happen a few times
on kick returns. You know, we saw that with Cleveland's returner,
you know, slipping on the on the grass and you
know it's you know, it is a bit slippery out there.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
I got I got plastic from my wet papers, right comments.
Will Drive need a big third quarter and they need one,
and they need one now. Obviously Cleveland wants to carry
them a minium defensively, as Breeland Smith gonna run the football,
he might get a pickup of maybe one two if

(01:23:26):
that second and eight coming up here. KEM Winsley, by
the way, on the sideline are all state sideline reporter.
Don't forget tomorrow night in a big game. And Mark
Arson gonna be joining us in the broadcast both If
you don't know the name Mark Arson, think of the

Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
It was always good to have Mark on the broadcast.
He's always there. It's good character.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
So so tomorrow we've got Bryan Tomford, We've got Jackie Posey, myself,
Mark Arson, We've got Kim Winslow. We've also got Robbie
Morell and Mark Coates to add commentary during the pregame
post game at halftime, came down with you.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
Yeah, that was a bad snap and it was on
the ground. Comments were lucky to fourth get back Eli
Backley tried to pick it up, trying to make something
out of it. Instead loses a couple of yards. That's
going to force the Comments to punt on their first possession.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
That's not what you wanted to see Clayton do. So
now the Comments will punt three and out on a
fourth and nine two minutes gone in the third almost
couldn't get it off. It was almost one of the
players putting a block on the kick. Instead, Bray Smith

(01:25:01):
and company will swallow the ball. Number thirty one picks
it up for the Comets and it will be the
Rams to start their first series in the second half.
Thirty one is a mere right there.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
That was decently long putting there, so you know it
will see the Rams, you know, sort of backed up
here and you know, hopefully, you know, Cleton can get
us off here and you know, sort of get momentum
on their side.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
So the Rams with now offense running the football again,
that'll be a run by a Marian Newkirk, Amaron Newkirk,
excuse me, Amrian Newkirk, the sofomore cornerback who has found
the ends on a couple of times. Somebody's I'll say
we had two point conversions and obviously Clayton down bike

(01:26:05):
seventeen currently twenty four to seven, nine minutes left in
the third quarter. Here comes the Rams. It was a
fake throw. HiT's a run. Here we go as that
was of course Borden r Number thirty five for the

(01:26:32):
Comets defense of Tobias disciple and making the stop. But
it looked like it was actually a It looked like
it was going to be an option throw. It was
a handoff by the quarterback to Everett Borden. Borden from
there to McCoy, McCoy there to new Kirk. Instead of
fake throw, they run with it and it'll move them
down with a midfield first and ten. This time they're

(01:26:54):
going to go right up the middle with it again
from the handoff by Boarding.

Speaker 4 (01:27:01):
It seems like, you know, Clayton's defense so far tonight,
you know, they really can't get it. You know that
many big stops. You know we had that interception early on,
but it just seems like Cleveland's just able to you know,
walk down the field and you know, whatever play called
they want to call, and that will just get yards
out of here.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
You're exactly right. That was Newkirk again right up the
middle from the handoff by number nine of effort Borden.
And this will set up now a second and five,
the Rams are driving, they're hit the forty three of
the Comets. Now Borden handoff up the middle goes now
to Kirk. This time. I think Comets defense was there

(01:27:39):
not to let anything go down. Kylin Moore running the football.
That was the handoff there from Borden, and then the
Comets defense swallowed them up and make a big play.
If you're listening on the radio, we're not up top
side in a in the press box, which, by the way,
where our place was supposed to be at is still empty.
That really frustrates to me. Do you know what? They

(01:28:01):
put us on the away side down below on the
bottom of the stairs because we didn't have the chance
to bring our equipment like we had to be at
Garner up in the grand stands. I'll tell you this
from now on, we'll remember to do that when we
come here. Nonetheless, twenty four to seven and the Rams
are still running the football here, Ryan.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
Yeah, they're still running the football thereas you got a
first down there, you know it. They're just able to
walk down the field and you know, just Cleton does
not have an answer for them tonight so far on
their defensive side.

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
It's very frustrating, but that's exactly what it is right now,
first and ten seven minutes gone or left in the
third quarter and the Rams are just running the football,
running the clock. They're in the league by seventeen.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
Pitch there to New Kirk.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Yeah, that was of course born into New Kirk for
the Rams on the Rams sideline and again just running
the football. Cam down to you front of the All
State sideline report. They're just running the football. They're just
going right up the middle, handing it off left, handing
it off right, getting up the north and running the
clock down that I had as well.

Speaker 6 (01:29:16):
Yeah, but it looks like there's a penalty. I couldn't
see it. Finally, signal was but it will be against
the Rams, so this will back them up.

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
Penalty against I.

Speaker 6 (01:29:26):
Still couldn't see what the signal. Obviously we're seeing the
backside and he's on the far side of the field.

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
What he called personal foul. I think he called personal foul.
By the way, I want to remind you if you
plan on attending Comets and Rams tomorrow night at Nixon
Fowler Stadium, you better get there early. They are anticipating

(01:29:55):
an extremely large crowd, probably one of the biggest ever
for Friday night lights at Clayton and in the state
of North Carolina as well for that matter. It is incomplete.

Speaker 6 (01:30:07):
Yeah, they're gonna say that was incomplete. That's right, And
did they miss an obvious hold in the middle of
the lining. Pretty much tackled our defender, but no flags
off in the comments that was incomplete.

Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
That's right, second and long and complete, second and seventeen
coming up. Please be aware of the information and policies
in came for place tomorrow night. Go to Clayton Commets
Athletics social media see or in social media for all
the details. Skates will open at six fifteen, kick off
at seven point thirty. Tickets are available on go fan

(01:30:42):
now to save time, but they will accept cash and
cards at the gate, but that will if you order now.
It saves you from having to be in the long line,
if you will. Ryan, Yeah, the big game tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
Definitely big game, and you don't get your tickets early
for that, you know it's definitely going to be a
good one. Is that there's a little bit of pushing
and we.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
Were going to remind you as well. Not only will
we be live on the Community Radio Network, there will
be several different media outlets that you could listen or watch. Obviously,
my buddy Jason Halter Patrick Johnson with my r DC
Friday Night Rivals will have the coverage on MYRDC TV
twenty eight one O two point three from Curtis Media.

(01:31:25):
We'll have radio coverage of the Joe the or the
high School Game of the Week, the Johnson cut of
high School Game of the Week. Joe Coo Sports Radio
will be there and of course we will be there.
So take your pick. There's a lot going on tomorrow
thanks to our media. Find forty three left to go
with the third fire throw anyone home. It is caught

(01:31:45):
by number ten Maxton Cupstead.

Speaker 4 (01:31:53):
So Cleveland found themselves there with a long third down
and able to pick up the first down.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Yeah, that's the wide received for freshman Baxton, the Cupstead
for the Rams, and they got the momentum. They're running
the clock. They're up by seventeen, and you could just
see other defeat now being showed by the comet sideline.
I mean, it's it's like they're just not even into

(01:32:18):
it anymore. New Kirk up the middle, Ruk.

Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
Yeah, I mean it doesn't seem like what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:32:27):
I want to sound like Mark Coach here for a minute.
You got to you gotta grab somebody, right, you grab
the jerseys and bring them down, and they're just not
doing that right now.

Speaker 4 (01:32:35):
Bryan, Yeah, I mean the running backs and quarterbacks they
are able to just sort of run freely and go
get the first down and then be brought down. And
you know, a lot of the art defense. You know,
there are a lot of miss tackles tonight, and we
you know, if they want to be successful on defense,
you know that you got to get those tackles, you
know at the line of scrimm engine, you know, stop

(01:32:56):
them for very little game. And we see another running
play here.

Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
Right, another big run and obviously four and a half
minutes remaining here in the third quarter, twenty four to seven,
and it looks like we got to time out on
the field. We'll take one with him here. We all
need to pause for station identification as we are at

(01:33:26):
the top of the hour. This is Comets Thursday Night Football.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
This is the Community Radio Network w CRN eighty seven
point nine FM, Clayton Connor, Smithfield, North Carolina. Proud to
be in the USA. We see r and.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
I'm your overly competitor brother, all right for a rematch
game on.

Speaker 9 (01:33:54):
I've been practicing with a cello, got mello of the hoop?

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
You telling me again?

Speaker 5 (01:34:01):
Foul yeah, foul, bro Okay, take a free shots ahead
to get served.

Speaker 3 (01:34:09):
Get off, Steve, save money and be protected from Mayhem
like me, love you, Mom, wait till your father gets home.
Player down. I believe it was number fifty seven of
Gavin Sawyer, number fifty seven that went down. He's now
back on the sideline, keb We'll get an update from

(01:34:30):
you at a moment if you can check him out.
But right now, play clock down the thirty five twenty
four seven a thirty four at the red zone for Cleveland.
Borden looks like he's gonna call an audible change the play.
Borden hands it off to number seven Comets defense. Reddit.

(01:34:52):
That's Kylon Moore, the outside linebacker playing offense, and he
got brought down by the sophomore there and Kim. It
looks like number fifty seven right back in the battle
again after going down for an injury. The freshman of
Gavin Sawyer back on the field. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
When he came off the field, he came off on
his own. Looked like he just needed to shake it off.
As soon as he got to the sidelines, it looked
like he was gonna be okay. He was right in
the coach's ear ready to come back in. On the
next play, so good to see him back.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
Out on the field ready to go back out again.
Fourtho one comet seed A big stop here fourth and
one on the seventeen. Did they stop him? I think
they did. They did, I think they did. It's a
big stop on the Comics defense, turnover on downs in
his Comics football.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
Finally I stopped for Clayton there.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
You know for.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
The first time that they gotta stop. I believe since
since the interception, but you know that now it seems
like a little bit of life back in our tea
and Kim it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
Was Riley Klinger number twenty. We saw him make a
couple of big stops in the game the other week
at home come for varsity against South Corner, and now
he makes another big stop here for Thursday Night football.

Speaker 6 (01:36:05):
Yeah, Riley Linder caught him into the backfield, big stop
for the common defense. And now handoff and he slips
at the twenty yard line, so uh, Drian Chadwick is
gonna lose about three yards again. This field is very
slick after the tail rain that we've had the last
couple of days. And yes, ma'am, you can just see

(01:36:26):
it out there that they're kind of tearing up this field. Uh,
they're gonna have to get it in shape if they
want it ready for playoffs starting next week. Oh no,
they're gonna have a bye week though, so they'll haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
By week as well. Don't have a bye week. It
looks like I still have a bye week. High snap
and here we go again. Oh almost, Oh my goodness,
said utmost so it's incomplete. It oemost got picked off.
Comments intended for Shaw and it looked like it was
number two, number five actually of our far john Nyazov

(01:36:58):
Nyazov almost inner sup to it, but it is incomplete.
Third and long coming up, Kim.

Speaker 6 (01:37:03):
Yeah, just as we saw last week with the low snaps,
we've seen some high snaps tonight. Luckily that one didn't
go over his head, but just again throws off the timing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
Oh come on, it's gonna be close. It'll be close.

Speaker 6 (01:37:19):
It looked like he was gonna get stopped for a
loss and he slipped through.

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
It is going to be close, Kim.

Speaker 6 (01:37:27):
Really close. It's gonna be just short.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
I think it'll be like fourth and one, fourth and two.
It's fourth and one.

Speaker 6 (01:37:36):
Yeah, coming off has gonna stay on the field. Comment
offensive line, Uh needs to get a big push here
right right here on this fourth down, fourth.

Speaker 3 (01:37:46):
And one, Bagley, What a big play. He's gonna keep me.
Kate Pourd is gonna go up the mentally.

Speaker 6 (01:37:52):
I don't think he.

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
We awake to see the call here. It's like we
wait to see the call. The white hat, no car,
no word yet. It's gonna be close. I think it's good.
They're gonna go the chain measurement. Why didn't they do
that in Gonner last Friday night? Remember that's we got

(01:38:16):
coach Scott Chadwick for an unsportsmanlike conduct because he wanted
a chain. They're gonna call for a chain measurement.

Speaker 6 (01:38:25):
It's gonna be kind of our first uh cheam measurement.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
Is in the first time for JV football this year.
I think it is Kim Well.

Speaker 6 (01:38:32):
We might have had one at home for some reason.
I think I remember.

Speaker 13 (01:38:35):
But uh.

Speaker 3 (01:38:37):
Oh, it's gonna be close. Let's see what the call
will be here. Let's see if they show first down,
we'll be getting that well exterior services first down, ready
to make the chain measurement. It's not digital like NFL.
We got human bodies moving chains here. Let's see what
the call will be The survey says it is just short.

Speaker 6 (01:38:57):
He's probably six inches short, so close.

Speaker 3 (01:39:02):
Fourth in a hare in a turnover back to the Rams.

Speaker 6 (01:39:06):
Yeah, and that's gonna give them great field position in
what about the thirty one yard line?

Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
Wow?

Speaker 6 (01:39:11):
Rams will take over And while we have a quick
second also taking place at Cleveland right now, the Comets soccer. Yes,
and last I heard they were Comets were up three
to nothing with about twenty five minutes left to go
in the second half.

Speaker 3 (01:39:24):
At least we're trying to be Cleveland. It's something here tonight.
Soccer across the way. I think that was supposed to
be scheduled for last night, but obviously because of the
weather it got moved postponed. And Kim Winslow, how about
our soccer team. They're gonna win the conference championship and
they're gonna be at home for a lot of playoff
games for Comet Soccer. I know she doesn't broadcast soccer.

(01:39:47):
Call we call soccer.

Speaker 4 (01:39:49):
You like soccer, Riots love soccer.

Speaker 6 (01:39:51):
Yeah, I don't think you want me broadcast in soccer.

Speaker 3 (01:39:53):
Eric.

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
I know the basics, and that's about I just don't
know all all this, the strategy and this that and
the other. But I cheer hard for the comments though,
And yes, as you said, they've got the conference championship,
that's right, and getting ready for playoffs. So this game is,
you know, essentially just a formality to end the season.

Speaker 3 (01:40:14):
They are ten and one. They did lose to Garner
the other night. They lost to Garner twenty three to two.
Right now they're beating Cleveland. If they win this game,
they will end the season at eleven and one and
they will guarantee definitely a buye and go to the
playoffs in soccer too, So yeah, a lot of good

(01:40:34):
things going on. Volleyball went to two rounds in the tournament.
They lost to d H Connelly after beating Durham Riverside
in the first round. And by the way, less than
fifteen days from now, Ryan to get back indoors and
call a little basketball on the court.

Speaker 4 (01:40:54):
Yeah, that would be nice. Get out of this cold
then be in the worm Wall arena and you know,
different sport as we see a short run here on
first down.

Speaker 3 (01:41:04):
Yeah, the comments defense that figured out a way to
stop this this if you will born in Newkirk connection
more than what it was a struggle with McCoy. But
they figured out a way to get to this thing here.
They haven't let Cleveland score. That's the most important thing.
Right it's twenty four to seven. We're about to go
twelve minutes into the third quarter. Nobody scored yet. And listen,

(01:41:27):
Clayton not not out of this. You have a thing
go wrong here, go right for Clayton instead of Cleveland,
and you're right back in this ball game again. Right now,
nobody is scored in the third corner is born and
will throw no One home incomplete was intended to look
for McCoy or number ten actually Maxton Copstead. It's incomplete,

(01:41:49):
and it will be a third and long coming up
here and Kim, they're gonna try to get one more
playoff I think before the third quarner, and I don't
think they will. They're gonna they're gonna call it the
third corner. That's the third.

Speaker 6 (01:42:00):
They've got an injured player on the field, injured player,
so there's a timeout. So at twenty eight point six
seconds left, they'll take a time out.

Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
Yeah it's so hard to see it, but it looks
like it's one of one of the RAM players that
are down. So we got a RAM player down, we
will step away as well and take an injury time out.
This is Commons football.

Speaker 14 (01:42:20):
Fractions of a second can be the difference between victory
and defeat at the finishing. America's favorite boring is back
in action for a summer of Friday Night and NASCAR

be a big game tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie to you.
We're we're We're getting there at two o'clock. We got
a lot to set up when you you got some
cool We got some cool things planned for the game
tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 (01:43:08):
Right, Ryan, Yeah, We've got a lot of cool things that, uh,
we're gonna unveil tomorrow and you know, I'm excited for it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:14):
The the the mad Scientists of Ryan Tomford, we were
going on all sorts of ideas. By the way, that's
number fifty of Julian Bowen, the guard sophomore that is down.
He's uh, he's hobbling back to the to the Cleveland
Rams sideline. And I don't want to see anybody get
injured or hurt. And obviously I have been informed that

(01:43:37):
the Cleveland player they took that hard hit on the
field at Southeast Raleigh a couple of weeks ago, that
had to have life support and uh in breathing.

Speaker 4 (01:43:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Obviously, you know, chest impressions and the things that need
to be done to fibulator to bring him back. I mean,
it's uh, Chris John Clark will play tomorrow night. I'm
understanding Kris John Lark will be suited up ready to
take on Clayton tomorrow night. And and I'll just say this,
that's that's good to hear.

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
Yeah, that's that's great to hear. You know, you know,
you never want to see those things happening on the
football field, No, you don't. You know, it's great that
you know, just you know, what was that two three
weeks ago and now he's now he's back on the
football field, so you know, great, great to see him,
you know, being able to play tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:44:26):
Yeah, Kim Winslow said it best. I know we're rivals,
but you don't want anybody to be hurt. Obviously under
thirty seconds remained, and especially if something of that caliber
and a big stop there as they're still gonna come
up short. I'll tell you what, Cam, here's two straight
drives now where the Comets defense has stepped up and

(01:44:48):
they have stopped the Cleveland offense here now, but we
got a fourth down coming up, and I got a
feeling they're gonna I think they're gonna go for it.
But you know, this is a great defensive stops here
for Clayton.

Speaker 6 (01:45:02):
Absolutely, and they're getting the stops on the ground and
through the air, and they're gonna put a safety back
deep now they're gonnaunt.

Speaker 3 (01:45:10):
Yeah, they're gonna punt. It was a fake. It looked
like it was gonna be whether it was not a
puny and now william Shaw had to catch it from
an oblong angle. He was literally arched sideways when he
caught it, and then he had to mier in turn.
By the time he done that, the Rams special team
got him and brought him down. That was the deuce.
William Shaw, the sophomore we got fifteen seconds. Kim left
to go with the third quarter down of you for

(01:45:32):
another All State sideline report.

Speaker 6 (01:45:33):
Yeah, when they lined up, you couldn't tell if they
were gonna punt it or go on offense. So he
got back, you know, somewhat deep, kind of as a safety.
But they ended up punting it, so he had to
catch the ball over his shoulder, which is a little
bit awkward. He was at least able to make the
catch protect the ball. But they're gonna start deep in
their own territory. About the seventeen yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
It is baggy bag label fire. It is through the
hands of number twelve of McCallister. Re McCallister had to
read on it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:02):
It's incomplete second and ten Kim and the defender number four,
he was there in good coverage. He almost got a
hand on that ball as well. Comments have got to
take care of the ball here deep in their own territory.

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):
Prepare for a big one Tomorrow night. We start things
off with the Clayton Kyper Practic Vincent's Pubpany to repregame
kickoff of the Coaches Corner percent of Ay All State
six point thirty Tomorrow night. We got pregame at six thirty.
Kickoff at seven point thirty, Bagley, Ah, that time for
London Golden on the Cleveland sideline and it's through the

(01:46:34):
hands of Golden incomplete. Gotta wonder too. We talked about
him at one point one seconds left in the third corner.
We talked about the dow all over our broadcast equipment
outside the ground. You can see is starting to, you know,
get a wetness haze over the football's probably getting the
same thing. Let's go back down to him.

Speaker 6 (01:46:51):
Yeah, I think he probably should have made that catch.
I think he was getting ready to run before he
actually had the ball in his hands. So this is
going to bring up third and long the Comets.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
Third long back complete again intended for Sean's.

Speaker 6 (01:47:06):
So good and that would have been a first down
for the Comments if he could make the catch. Instead,
it's going to force the Comments to punt.

Speaker 3 (01:47:13):
Actually, I think it was intended for Jackson number eight
eyes that jack was it?

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
I think it was Chris three. I can't tail, hell,
I can't tail. It might have been Rafael Thompson. Anyhow,
that's the third quarter. It is twenty four to seven,
and if.

Speaker 6 (01:47:30):
You remember in that last punt by the Comets, the
Cleveland brought the pressure, almost got a block. So look
it again with comments punting deep in their own territory,
watch for the pressure from the Rams.

Speaker 3 (01:47:43):
The fourth quarter is coming up next. This is Comets football.

Speaker 8 (01:47:50):
I'm a teenage girl. My bff, Decky Texas says she's
kissed Johnny. Well that's a problem because I like Johnny.
Now I'm emotionally compromised. Whoopsies, I'm all omg. Becky's not
even hot. And if you've got cut rate insurance, you
can be paying for this yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:48:09):
So get all State.

Speaker 8 (01:48:10):
You can save money and be better protected from mayhem
like me.

Speaker 2 (01:48:14):
Dollar for dollar.

Speaker 9 (01:48:15):
Nobody protects you from Mayhem like all State.

Speaker 13 (01:48:18):
Look at you go, the one trip grocery cham snooze button, resistor,
Master sock matter. You know, the daily grind can be tough,
but amidst the hustle, we see you conquer it all.
And at Scooter's copy, we believe it's the little wins
that deserve some big moments of joy. So go on,
embrace that tiny triumph, you master Parallel Arthur. You take

(01:48:39):
that victory lap and savor the sweet taste of success.

Speaker 3 (01:48:42):
Scooter's copy. You didn't just order it, you earned it. Ah,
they come trotting back onto the field. If you want
to get a little recap that will snow points scored.
Good setups there by the common State fence not letting
Cleveland get anything. They are driving though fourth and ten
on the seventeen. Here, welcome back to our coverage. As

(01:49:09):
the Comets will obviously punt it. It is not a
good punt at all. This ball will actually go out
of bounds on around the but thirty yard line if
that maybe the forty somewhere around there, and it's still
in Comets territory for the Rams to have the football.
And here we go, start of the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 (01:49:29):
Ryan, Yeah, that was a sky high pun. You know,
definitely not what you want when when when punding, you
know you want to more of a line driving and
get the distance, you know, guards wise, but you know
that definitely, definitely, you know, not the way that you
want to punt. And but we've seen Clayton's defense, you know,

(01:49:50):
sort of step up this second half and you know,
come up with a few big stops and you know,
hopefully they can get another stop here and you know,
hopefully get their offense, you know, get going and hopefully
work their way for a few scores to close up
this deficit that they have.

Speaker 3 (01:50:06):
Well, the Rams have got the lead, they've got the momentum.
They're up by seventeen. Clayton defense did make stops there,
but they were not able to let them score. But
Cleveland has got the momentum. And honestly, Kim, that's all Clayton,
it's all Cleveland needs, right, I mean, you got a
seventeen point lead, that SIT's over two scores, right, and
now all you have to do is just basically, you know,

(01:50:29):
run the clock down, run the football. You ain't really
got to do anything else. I mean, you could continue
to score, yeah, just on the clock.

Speaker 4 (01:50:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:50:35):
We saw them trying to keep it on the ground
until they got you know, far behind the chains, and
I expect they'll continue to do that as they pick
up the first down on that run. And there's a
flag on.

Speaker 3 (01:50:45):
The play though there's a flag on the play here.

Speaker 6 (01:50:48):
It looks like it's gonna be a holding on the Rams.

Speaker 3 (01:50:51):
There's a flag on the play. So a flag on
the play stopping it here with about a second and
four of the thirty six outside in the elements right now,
fifty two degrees kick off. It was fifty seven last
game of the season for Comets JV football. Clayton will

(01:51:13):
play tomorrow night at Nixon Foler for varsity. We can
tell you if you're listening out in Comic Country and
in the Rams, we can mention both Clayton and Cleveland
have both done their job right. They will get a
first round by There will be home games, but a
lot decided tomorrow night, not only for the bragging rights
of a conference championship, something Clayton hasn't won since twenty

(01:51:35):
seventeen over Cleveland, but another thing that's on the line
is how many home games can you get? The higher
you go up in seeding. If Cleveland beats Clayton tomorrow night,
they'll move up to number one in the East. If
Clayton can beat Cleveland, they'll get at least the top three,
top four, is what we were told. So a lot

(01:51:55):
riding on the game tomorrow and I and I love
the fact Ken I'm gonna toss it back down to you.
I love the fact that tomorrow night's game is going
to be a battle, but it's not gonna be whoever loses,
really suffers like they've done in years past. I love
the fact that the playoffs are now based on the
RPI score, not by the conference.

Speaker 6 (01:52:16):
Yeah, that was always extremely frustrating when it would come
down to playoff time, ma'am. You know, they always seed
the conference champions first, so one through ten. So you know,
when you're playing in a tough conference and you could
have been a number two or number three seed, but
you lose that game, you drop all the way down
to about twelve or thirteen, and that way you get

(01:52:39):
pretty much one home game. You know, even with even
with this new format, the comments by way of the
new format, hopefully they you know, they should get a
bye the first round. They'll get one home game. And
but like you said that, those top four seeds have
the best chance of getting two home games in the playoff.

Speaker 3 (01:53:01):
Uh, nine minutes left to go in regulation, and Ryan,
you see what they're doing. Cleveland is just continuing to
run the football. Here comes a fourth and twelve. The
Comets defense are doing what they need to do. But
then you got another first down here. No, they pun them,
they did, so it's gonna be Comets football. So again
right here, this is the third straight drive that the

(01:53:21):
Comets defense has stopped Cleveland. Now we need Comets offense
to step up and do something here. Let's make them play.
Let's least get another touchdown out of the deal.

Speaker 4 (01:53:30):
Yeah, I mean the defense has really stepped up in
especially in the second half. You know, they're doing their
driving now. Just you know, the offense needs to get going.
They you know, they just need to get some few
consistent plays here.

Speaker 3 (01:53:45):
Cold one tonight gonna be a great one tomorrow as well.
It's gonna be about a high of sixty degrees kickoff time,
it's gonna be around fifty forty five degrees, and it's
gonna get down into the upper thirties tomorrow night for
the matchup, the fifteenth all time I'm Matt battle between
Cleveland and Clayton. As as we said, at least we

(01:54:06):
got a home field advantage, and it's we know what
it's like to be at home. The emotion of being
at home, obviously is big. Comets are nineteen and one.
Let's see if the Comets can drive here. Badley keeps
the football and he might get a push of maybe
two yarns or so, maybe two, maybe three up the field.

(01:54:26):
Second and seven. Now at third and seven, coming up
here Ryan for the at third and six. Actually they're
gonna say he got four.

Speaker 4 (01:54:35):
Yeah, theyn't give him an axt regard there.

Speaker 3 (01:54:37):
Look at where they're at. They're in the twelve yard line.
I mean literally, it's it's you're stuck in your own
goal territory.

Speaker 4 (01:54:45):
No, we haven't seen playing you know, sort of kind
of you know, on the other side of the field,
you know, in a while. So you know, they they
definitely need a big play here on third down.

Speaker 3 (01:54:54):
Jav cheerleaders trying to hype up the crowd somewhat. They've
done a phenomenal job all year covering foot ball two,
third and six as again, Jim keeper for Baggley and
it goes nowhere for no gain. Fourth and Okay, they're
gonna give him a yard fourth and five on the twelve,

(01:55:16):
and you can see they're gonna bring out the punt team.
They're not even gonna try it. They're not even gonna
try to play fourth and five. You're all the way
back to your own goal line on the twelve. They're
not even gonna risk this. No, they're not gonna risk
it for the biscuit right, they're gonna they're gonna punt
it away.

Speaker 4 (01:55:29):
Now, if you're if you were closer to the you know,
the fifty, maybe you'll risk it. But you know, when
you're that far back in your own territory, the best
decision is just to punt it. You know, you don't
want to give the ball up in that area.

Speaker 3 (01:55:42):
As we see a ton of time out being called,
we'll step away and take one with them. Again. This
is Comet's football.

Speaker 17 (01:55:48):

Speaker 3 (01:56:31):
A little celebration Comic Country. It's just been made official.
Game is over. In soccer, the Comets have beat Cleveland
four to one and because of that, they have officially
locked up the twenty twenty five Greater Noos River Soccer Championship.
There you go, So congratulations to Comet Soccer as uh

(01:56:57):
they make their push to the playoffs. Is now they're
got punt the football the comments will By the way,
England calls this soccer, you know, it's you know, soccer
is football in England. Is gonna mean to say, right,
let's trying to get you to come out the thing.
I know this is a it's not a good game,
but I'm trying to at least be lively here. By

(01:57:20):
the way, I know you're a soccer guy. Did you
see where they are building? What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:57:24):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:57:25):
Oh my goodness? Is it Ubu Dhabi. They're building a
soccer stadium that's like way up in the air. It's
it's I mean, it's like a it's a massive sky
scraper building that they're building a soccer stadium right on
the top of the roof.

Speaker 4 (01:57:38):
Yeah, you know, I've seen a few uh stadium runderings
for a few teams, you know, some in the EPL,
and you know, some of those stadiums are crazy, and
you know, the budget that some of these soccer teams
have nowadays is insane. And you know, all I say
is the budget is going great for my soccer team,

(01:58:00):
top of the table, and you know, they're doing well
so far the season.

Speaker 3 (01:58:03):
Seven minutes remaining, the Rams are driving the football again,
trying to run the clock down. And hey, Cam, there's
also some good news for the Comets community. Obviously, the
Johnston County Board of Education in the town, they approved
unanimously that they are on board for the new Clayton
High School. They'll start breaking ground and working on all

(01:58:26):
the new reinnovations we get in in December of twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 6 (01:58:30):
Yes, and that is extremely exciting. That's been a long
time in the making. There were plans already set out,
then COVID hit, things got delayed, prices went up, and
now they finally got it set to break ground. And
you know, if you recall when we called the last
the last home softball game, yes, that was going to
be the last game played on that field. That is

(01:58:52):
actually going to be the footprint over there. But where
the tennis courts and softball field are. Yep, that's where
the new school will actually be. It looks like baseball,
the lacrosse, soccer in football, those fields will all remain
the same, but softball and tennis will now move to
kind of where the school buildings are. It's gonna be

(01:59:13):
at completely different campus.

Speaker 3 (01:59:14):
But they are yes, and they're redoing the basketball Jeff
Adams Gym. They're redoing that. The football field is getting
some major face lifts as well, and just so many
other things on board with also a school that can
fit two thousand plus is the plan. Under six minutes
remaining in regulation, we are in the fourth quarter, Ryan Tomford,

(01:59:35):
I'm Wesley Outland Freese at it outside here with the
awesome comic crew at John Jacobs Stadium. Right now it's
twenty four to seventeen, comets down by seventeen, twenty four
to seven, I meant to say, And Kim Winshelmar All
State sideline reporter is right now we got another stompa
to play. Love me a player down. Riley Klinger, a
little banged up boy that's our star defensive man for JV.

(01:59:58):
But also when he gets to play and Riley Cleanar
get checked out number twenty. Kim Linder. Yeah, I'm sorry, Linder.
I'm I'm sorry, Riley Linder.

Speaker 4 (02:00:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:00:06):
And you know, if you recall, is the player that's down.

Speaker 6 (02:00:10):
Yeah, he missed the second half last week with that
stiff back. He's out there playing tonight, but he goes down.
It'd be interested to see if he comes back in
tonight or not. He's he's trying to walk around on
the sidelines. It looks like he's kind of holding that
lower back again. So his night could be done. But

(02:00:32):
now we'll see if the common defense can hold here
with third and long.

Speaker 3 (02:00:35):
Thirty nine, here comes another awesome job by the defense.
They've played great here. Here's a throw it scene is
old boy. I thought it was gonna be picked off. Oh,
Sebastian A. Slavino was almost there to take it away.

Speaker 4 (02:00:49):
That could have been a big changer there, and you know,
could have given given a Clay some good fields, a
good field position. But we'll see fourth and nine here,
and you know, Cleveland's gonna have to probably punch this
ball away.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
I think they already got him.

Speaker 6 (02:01:07):
It looks like they he almost he almost got that interception,
but he at least got in the line of the
lightest sight of the receiver.

Speaker 3 (02:01:17):
Half at ball.

Speaker 6 (02:01:18):
But that should be kick catch interference.

Speaker 4 (02:01:20):
Yeah, that will definitely be interface. Yeah, the Cleveland player
came in there.

Speaker 3 (02:01:25):
And he did flag on the play. This will be
in favor of the Comets that it will add yardage
after the whistle blows here. So a big play for
the Comets here coming up. And if they can take
advantage of it, like I said, just score, right, just
just make it where you're only down by ten or

(02:01:46):
maybe nine, right.

Speaker 4 (02:01:47):
I mean, yeah, just just close the deficit a little
bit and you know, make make the game a little
bit closer and not look a little bit better on
the score sheet. But uh, you know they're there is
five nineteen here left to go. You know in the
contest that you don't that's enough time to be able
to score.

Speaker 3 (02:02:06):
That's exactly right. And they're gonna they're gonna move the chains.
That will be a first and ten for the Comets
that they'll start at the forty. So I'm a fifteen
yard penalty up ahead for Clayton. And here comes Braylan
Smith running the football.

Speaker 4 (02:02:21):
Now he's gone the wrong way, and yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:02:25):
You want to go you want to go non south,
you want to go north?

Speaker 4 (02:02:29):
Lost a few yards there.

Speaker 3 (02:02:30):
Hey, by the way, I forget tomorrow night. The Joco
football game game at Nixon Folers Stadium Saturday covered to
the twenty second Annual Fall Spectacular four hundred from Dylan
Motor Speedway this Saturday and Sunday came back down to
you on c r N.

Speaker 6 (02:02:43):
Yeah, they're gonna have a stoppage of play as Brendan
Smith's a little slow coming off the field. You know,
we've seen all season where the Comets have been rotating
quarterbacks pretty much on every possession. Tonight it's been Eli
Bagley all night.

Speaker 3 (02:02:57):
Yes, I believe this.

Speaker 6 (02:02:58):
Is the first appearance of Jayden j No no.

Speaker 3 (02:03:00):
No, Jane and Jones was in when they were they
had that hike snap and they had the fumble if
you remember the turnover in the game. Yeah, it's I
think it's the second or third time being yay yep.

Speaker 6 (02:03:10):
But they didn't do their normal rotation as they have
been the past couple of games. But he is in
for the comments for this possession.

Speaker 3 (02:03:17):
Jayden Jones this time man, he hands it off and
the defense is there and they stomp him. He don't
go nowhere, Dorry and Chadwick four and a half minutes remaining.

Speaker 4 (02:03:34):
Clayam will have a long third down here.

Speaker 3 (02:03:38):
Listen, Clayton lost to Garner in JV last Thursday night.
Clayton got the comeback win and Varsity at Trojan Stadium
last Friday. I hope we have the exact thing happen
tomorrow night, so we'll see what goes on. Is right
now it is the JV Commets down by seventeen. They

(02:03:59):
actually got the game started, they intercepted the football, there
was liveliness, there was a lot of things done. They
scored and then of course then there was a lot
of opportunities by Cleveland. They took advantage that they exploited.
If there's one credit, I gotta give. If there's one credit,
I got to give. Though, Cleveland's about to get the
football again three and out by the comments offense. They

(02:04:22):
have not let Cleveland score since the second quarter.

Speaker 4 (02:04:28):
Yeah, the defense, you know has done a great job.
You know they in the first half, you know, they
just let the runs happen and weren't getting tackles.

Speaker 3 (02:04:39):
Uh and and I whistle here. It's like they're they're
actually making a penalty delay of game called on. Well
there are they making Clayton. Yeah, they're wracking Clayton punting again.

(02:05:01):
I think I don't think they did punt it. It
was just a delay of game. Yeah, fourth down delay
of game here, so they're going to back them up
five make a punt again. I don't like our position
that we're at. Now, the ball goes another direction into London,
Golden will pick it up. Rams never touched it and
now but it'll be the Rams football here first and ten.

Speaker 4 (02:05:27):
But back to what I was saying, you know, yes,
the defense was able to you know, in the second half,
you know, get stops at the line of scrimmage and
not let you know, the running backs and quarterbacks get
through that second line. So you know, they've definitely stepped up,
you know, especially the defensive line has done their job,
especially well in the second half.

Speaker 3 (02:05:49):
Three minutes remaining in regulation, this game is about to
be foregone conclusion. And since twenty seventeen, the Cleveland Rams
have defeated Comets JV. Clayton JV has never beat Cleveland.
I do remember Kim last year. I think last year

(02:06:10):
and the year before, there was some really close games.
I think it was like a three points and then
one game Clayton lost by one point. Trying to remember
if I'm looking at the history of games of the past.

Speaker 6 (02:06:22):
Yeah, it's kind of like with varsity, there's been some
close games and jav just hasn't gotten over the hump
yet against this Cleveland squad.

Speaker 3 (02:06:30):
Last year October thirtieth, as a matter of fact, same
date as today. One year ago, they lost to Cleveland
at home twenty eighteen at Nixon Fowler. Remember Clayton lost
by two points here the following night or that actually
that was on a Wednesday night, October thirtieth. They didn't
play on Thursday. They played on Friday, November first. But

(02:06:51):
Clayton did lose in varsity. Let's go back here to
last year and then of course the previous years of
the past twenty nine seven they lost two years ago,
twenty nine to seven.

Speaker 4 (02:07:04):
There you go, well, very similar to this year, very
similar to this one.

Speaker 3 (02:07:07):
Yes, and listen, I was told Cleveland ain't had a
good year this year, right, I mean, you know, it's
it's not been the conference championship season for them have
passed there. They're right now going into tonight's game, let
me see here and there we go as the Rams
driving big play for the Rams making a stop though

(02:07:28):
defense will stop them. And by the way, it was
number five or if John danziov as I mentioned they're
three and six, they're three and six this year.

Speaker 4 (02:07:40):
So yeah, I mean there's something about this game. You
know you could beat three and six going into it,
and you know something.

Speaker 3 (02:07:51):
Just beat Cleveland right, just at all costs. And if
you're Cleveland, just beat Clayton bah blah blah. Yeah, but
ever goes on all year, Just beat them, Just beat them.

Speaker 4 (02:07:59):
That does does something that they right on the whiteboard
at the beginning of the year. Just you know, beat
the other team at this game. And you know Cleveland
has you know done their job in years passing. You know,
it hasn't like Clayton JV. You know, get their first win.

Speaker 3 (02:08:16):
Cam back to you.

Speaker 6 (02:08:18):
Yeah, like you said, you know, it doesn't matter what
the records are when it comes to rivalry great games. Yeah,
do you throw those records right out the door? That
it's sometimes there's just that little extra energy that comes
and you never know either team can win on any
given night in a rivalry game.

Speaker 3 (02:08:34):
And by the way I'm looking at some of the
information on Obviously Cleveland, they've lost two out of the
last three games. They got a big win the corrections
a forfeit JV Smithfield sella forfeited to Cleveland. Last week
they didn't even play, so Garner has you know, Garner
beat Cleveland. Southeast Raleigh beat Cleveland. So it's not been

(02:08:56):
a dominating year for Cleveland Rams JV football like it's
been for the Combts either. They there's things on the
turnaround for the Comet season. I say in the year.
Obviously they're gonna close the season out. As the clock
is down to what twenty seconds remaining? Comments are gonna
fall to six and three, and this game is down
to its final ten seconds, they're gonna get one more

(02:09:18):
playoff Cleveland. I don't even think I'm gonna try to
do anything. They just took the victory formation. This game
is over twenty four to seven, the final Ken Winslow.
You're taking the game. Let's get the heck out of here.
We've got to pack up, get out of the cold,
and see you tomorrow for the big Joeco Football ball
that will be at home at Nixon Filer Stadium. Great
job as always, ma'am.

Speaker 6 (02:09:37):
Yeah, it was a great start for the Comments. You know,
they got that turnover on the first Cleveland possession, they
turned that into a touchdown and that was about all
for the Comments offense. They just couldn't get it, get
it going. Comic defense at least showed something here in
the second half, holding Cleveland scoreless.

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
Twenty four to seven. Your final varsity the focus tomorrow
night as it'll be a battle, the battle for the
Greater News River seven eight conference title. Who's gonna climb
the ladder in the conference for the championship in the playoffs. Obviously,
we know they're both going to the playoffs. We know
they got a first round by they're still the line
riding on to Borrow night. But I think the biggest

(02:10:15):
thing is just varsity commets want to beat Cleveland and
Cleveland wants to continue that sixty three game regular season
winning streak if they can now holding that sixty two
Your final pick of this game, Ryan, Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (02:10:28):
Mean we see, we saw Clayton's defense, you know, stuff
up in the second Halfen. You know, Clayton, you know,
got to that early jumping, was able to keep that
lead in You know, no points in the second half,
and you know, Cleveland is just a big winning you know,
I'm very exciting for tomorrow's game. You know, a lot

(02:10:48):
of we're gonna have a very big crowd, a lot
of excitement for that, and you know, a lot of
attention and eyes on that game.

Speaker 3 (02:10:55):
The season will end for JV Comets Football at six
and three, and it's Kim alluded to besides the forfeit
to South Corner, the Clayton has lost the last three
football games, so again six and three to end the season. Obviously,
on the note of I think it's like probably three

(02:11:15):
three and three, I guess it'll be three and three
in conference. When it's it's it's six and three and
three and three basically, so Cleveland Clayton. Tomorrow night coverage
begins at six point thirty JV Football Thursday Night Football
