High School Football: Phillips at Chequamegon

The following is a special sports presentation.

WIAA High School Sports is brought to you by Heckman Auction.

and by Longer United Booster Club.

Now all the excitement of WIAA High School Sports.

Welcome everybody.

Jeff Hacon and along with Steve Jettlin combining forces here for this loggers versus Shawamagan game here tonight.

This game just underway here and it was the loggers kicking off Kenny Drexler a little pooch kick in

Speed, it bumped off of the leg of one of the shawamagin defenders and loggers jumped on it, opening play, going the loggers way, not what shawamagin wanted to see.

No, it bounced off DJ's leg, it went forward back towards the loggers and I'm not kidding, I said it before we went live that the Eagles are 0 for 3 on the onside kick to start a game and now they're 0

for

4.

We got Kaden Borgen in the shotgun here, it's a direct snap to him.

Give it to Kenny Drexler.

All right, getting through contact right away.

We get about three, four yards.

Yeah, Kenny doing a nice job right there.

We're going to see Kate and Morgan in there a little bit.

I talked about that before the game, Steve, and a little left-handed quarterback.

He'll air it out a little bit, but no weight better is the key of this game here tonight.

Weight better a freakish athlete for the Phillips loggers, and he's going to be watching from the sidelines.

All right, he'll be not just watching.

He'll be cheering.

Yeah, I know he's a big leader on that team, and I know a lot of them look up to him.

So it's always good to see them on there.

Doing the best they can.

I know carrying the injury.

All right.

Three wide receivers, two left, one right.

Shotgun.

Borgun.

Handoff.

And 12 up at the back line.

Yeah, Kenny Drexler.

You've got Ted right away.

And I believe, do you know what that was?

Was that number 64?

I'm not sure who that was, but that was very possibly Dawson Schmidt.

It was Dawson Schmidt.

Big time on the line, senior.

Yeah, making a play.

Hey.

the loggers got a few on that first one and now they're back it's going to be a third down and 11 coming up here from we caught hey up in Phillips we call this the 51 yard line the 51 yard line yeah they're

on the e they're on the eagles 49 all right tight formation now looks like the tight ends on the right side looks like no rock in the backfield now too

yes

hike

and a counter play oh he's gone

He's going.

30 angle, 25 and in it.

Kenny Drexler touched out all the way from the 49 yard line, a 49 yard touchdown.

Kenny Drexler, he told me he was getting four of them tonight, Steve.

Well, there's

one.

I'll tell you that.

On the counter, he basically just followed his blockers initially and then turned the corner and there was no one.

It was just a straight foot race.

Number 89, that would be Gordon Kretz.

or sorry 86 out there was one trying to chase him down couldn't get to

him.

DJ Jamo.

And a nice run there by Kenny.

Two point conversion coming up here for the loggers.

Morgan in the shotgun.

Looking, corner, cut, touchdown.

And who was that Matthew Novak over there?

Matthew Novak catches the.

The two-point conversion from Caden Borgen, and that was sophomore to sophomore.

It's eight to nothing, Steve.

We're going to send it back for a one-minute timeout to 98Q Country and on the Civic Media

app.

Hey, welcome back everybody.

Jeff Haken here along with Steve Jettlin and we are in Shawam again.

It is the Screaming Eagles taking on the Phillips loggers here tonight and 8-0 lead here Steve for the Phillips loggers and what just happened on that kick off there?

What happened was I'm still waiting to see what the penalty call is.

It will be Eagles ball.

It was a pooch kick over the top.

I'm wondering if one of the loggers

just left the line early, technically a false start or something.

And it may have been declined even.

I don't

know if they do that a lot on the kickoff.

Yeah, either way, the Eagles will be starting on their own 47 yard line first in 10.

And it looks like they're going to open up straight, straight four wide receiver set three on the right, one on the left, Ethan Audison in shotgun.

There you

go.

And it's like the loggers are going to

match three rushers here.

Yeah, you're going to have Pishka McCoy-Dalasky, Will Pishka.

All right, here's

the little cousin

out there.

He's a quarterback.

I'm excited

Ethan's keeping going right has to get through contact can't do it and it looks like there's a penalty immediately I'm looking at most likely holding

likely holding that's the only thing I can really figure and Took the ball himself then the loggers broke through the line of scrimmage there and we're able to get some penetration

with it so

holding

penalty and Will be ten yards from the spot of a foul not to mention that they just got sacked on that play

It's not a big fan of Ethan being the straight ball

carrier unless it's straight up the gut.

And you know, Steve, I was watching him in those warm-ups in that little pass he has over the top.

He's six foot five and can make a nice pass over the defensive line.

We're going to see if we see a little bit of that there from Ethan Ottison.

All right.

The sophomore, you said, right?

Yup, Ethan Ottison, quarterback for the Eagles, sophomore, motion, and off.

It is a fumble and it's going to be falling on by looks like the loggers as the Eagles did a double fake reverse and the handoff between Mark Oskivarek and I believe that was the whole crowd just did

not happen.

Who fell on top of that?

Will Pischka.

Just I think he's a sophomore junior.

Will Pischka has been doing.

He's all over the place on defense finally getting a chance this year to show his worth here and on the defensive side.

He's been an animal.

fell on top of that one, Steve, right there.

It's going to be Lager's ball again.

10-0-5 to go here in this first quarter.

It's 8-0 Lager's.

Lager's got Kate and Morgan in the backfield, in the shotgun.

Drexler to his right.

All right.

Hike, fake handoff, quarterback keep going right.

He's going to be swallowed up immediately, but not after fighting forward for a few yards

there.

Oh, he got stripped.

And

now the

Eagles got it right back.

I'm pretty sure he got stripped.

It's going to be Eagles ball.

All right, I don't think they blew the whistle.

The only thing is if they blew a whistle, we did not hear.

I don't think they did though.

Yeah, it should be Schwamegan ball coming out of this.

I think Borgen got stripped, but they're not acting like

it.

Well, the refs are conferring right now.

That would be huge for the Eagles.

It would.

It really looked like a strip ball here, a fumble, and we're going to find out what they call.

They're going to say he got.

So there we go.

Eagles big time defensive play.

They were looking down the barrel of a 16 to nothing lead

with until that happened.

Oh my goodness.

Absolutely.

So Schwammigan getting one back there.

951 to go here.

First quarter and Steve turnover after turnover in this game to start things out.

It's eight to nothing loggers.

But Schwammigan, they're going to start out with it at their own 27 yard line.

Yes, but no longer have to deal with a first in 20 from the holding.

Absolutely.

A regular first in 10.

Still got the five linemen, two tight ends, one on each side.

Looks like Cole Krauss on the left.

Mark Oskar-Varick on the right.

We need to see Mark this game if we have a chance.

Here we go.

From the shot, it looked like they're going to pass.

This is what I wanted to

see.

It's caught.

He springs it in.

Nice

one.

15-yard pass completion to Nate Nichols on the offside.

All

the way up, Steve, to about the 43-yard line.

Steve, that's what I was seeing with my eye test here in warm-ups was the way that Audison threw a nice football.

in that six foot five frame.

He's able to see over everything.

A nice throw, a nice catch.

I've loved the connection between Audison and Nate Nichols.

They should be doing more of that.

That's the first time I've seen that play run this season.

I would ask for more of that, please.

I like it too.

I test says

that's a good one.

Here's Audison from the shotgun motion and off up the butt and kind of runs into his own guy.

Then he just tackled for a loss loss of about two yards on that play and

it was

penalty.

Yeah, and it was Kenny Drexler, the quarterback here in the middle of that.

Kenny's always been a defensive specialist.

Over the years, you know, playing behind JJ Hakinan and playing behind Sawyer Kuchiba, guys like that, Kenny was able to thrive on the defensive side.

That's a cornerback as a safety.

And this year's his first chance as a senior, you know, being the main ball handler and doing a nice job on both sides.

I'm seeing the defense back up.

Is this a defensive penalty?

Maybe not.

waiting to see what the ref confers with.

We didn't talk to the Eagles, so I'm assuming they're either accepting it or declining it.

So a legal block on the loggers?

No.

It's going to go.

What was that play?

Our defense holding?

That's a block on the, a legal block in the back.

Oh, hands of the face.

Okay, illegal hands of the face.

There we go.

Well, hey, you kind of needed a break.

That was not a good play there, but

Loggers got you first down.

Yeah, that's that's that's what about 20 some yards on that last play basically with the penalty 924 to go.

It's eight to nothing.

Loggers leading by Schwamagen driving Steve.

All right, five linemen, two tight ends, one on each side, mark in motion and off.

And another fumble as they do that one and that walkers are back on

top of it.

And Derek Piska this time, last time, Will Piska this time, Derek Piska.

And Steve, if I had one thing to say about this, it's too many times touching the ball and handling the ball.

The reverses and the counters and going both ways and they're fumbling it on the second time.

This is the first game you've watched this play, but I'll tell you right now, I think it was like last week, the week before, I would say if I had the playbook, I would pull all of those out and burn them.

I hate double reverse stuff.

Too many.

Too many chances for mistakes, and we've already

seen two of

them.

All right, put yourself in a bad situation and bad things can happen.

All right, loggers take over on Eagles 47 ball hike.

It's going to be a

nice.

Morgan the Drexler on this left side.

And yeah, carrying up the field.

What, six yards, ten yards?

Yeah, I think he got up probably right around the 42 yard line, 40 yard line close to the 40 yard

line.

Yep, it was nice to throw to the flat right to the running back.

And as soon as you caught it, took it up field.

Not afraid of contact.

It's five yards, second and

five.

9.15 to go here, first quarter, eight to nothing.

Loggers leading, Shuamagan screaming Eagles here.

Shuamagan, they made a couple nice plays, a couple nice drives in, but third turnover of the game already?

Yeah, third

turnover of the game.

Well, I mean, unless you want to count the on-site kit.

Sure.

All right, here's Drexler and Borgen in the backfield.

Three receivers, two left, one right.

Ball hiked.

Fake handoff quarterback keep falls his blocker able to power through not a first down, but it

sure is close It looks like it's going to be third and one.

Yeah, Kate and Borden keep in it on that and we haven't seen him touch the ball a lot with Wade Vetter Early on in the season, but now he's getting a little more Little more play calls his way.

No, it's good.

Third and one balls now placed at the Eagles 38 yard line

Steve what a great football atmosphere we have for these kids here tonight full crowd bleachers are packed here shawarma again

putting on a nice show here for the community.

That's why another reason I love this game is because all the family is easy to travel between our two towns.

It sure is.

All right, here's Novak.

He's going to keep this one himself.

Shifty receiver, not a lot of size.

But enough for

the first down.

That is a great football play there where you're not trying to beat the world.

You just follow your big men in front of you.

They pave the way.

You get the first down and you get another first

and 10.

And that's Steve Precourt offense right there.

We see it over the years.

Steve.

Conservative on his place, not the big risk guy.

He's going to pop one soon though as soon as Schwann again lets their guard down.

There's going to be a pass down the field.

Oh, yeah.

820 to go here.

Laugher's leading 8-0.

And they're

driving.

All right.

Ball now on the 34.

Shotgun.

Two receivers right this time.

One left.

All right.

Motion right.

Ball hiked.

Hand off.

And it's going

to be Hoagland on this right side.

The arms won.

Usually it's Hogan and catching the ball deep down the field here.

He caught it was at a reverse

Yeah, I mean it was just a hand it was a handoff out of the motion He stiff arms his first defender who had a chance for a tackle for loss cuts it up the field and get the first down It's like a

12 13 yard rush.

There you go eight minutes to go here now logger's driving there already down to the 22 yard line almost red zone here Eight minutes to go and kick in here logger's looking to get their second core score of the first half or the first quarter

It's Borgen in the shotgun by himself.

He's got Drexler to his right.

Motion right.

Fall hiked.

Hand off up the gut.

Drexler picks up a few couples.

Not a lot.

Not

about a yard yard and a half.

Yeah, it'll be about second and eight looking like.

Getting close to the 20, about the 21 yard line for the loggers.

Second and we'll call it second eight here right now.

Say obviously the turnover was awesome and explosive for the Eagles defense, but you can't rely on that.

They got to get a foreign out here.

Yeah Yeah, they really do need that it is a lot if Schwab again goes down 16 to nothing early on here It's gonna be a tough hill to climb back.

Yes.

All right tight formation Everyone's

inside ball hiked over the head, but he catches it now.

He's got to run it himself kind of a broken play if you tackle for a

loss Eagles needed that they really did

That pushes the loggers back, probably knocked them back a few yards here.

I think it's going to be like a third down and 12 coming up.

Yeah, Matthew Novak of the snap just went right above his head, but he did a nice job of kind of chasing that ball back into his hands and able to.

I mean, that could have gone way

bad.

It could have.

He didn't try to do too much.

Steve, what you like to see?

He kind of just took what he got and you know, so it's tightened up the ball and third and 13.

Obviously difficult, but like I said, that could have been a lot worse.

635 to go here.

First quarter, it's eight to nothing.

Laugher is leading Shawamagan.

Laugher is driving.

Here's

Morgan.

All right.

Ball hike.

Look at the pass.

Looks right.

Wide open receiver.

Can he deliver it?

He does.

He drops it in the bucket for a first down.

A beautiful play.

Can he direct?

We're making the catch, Borgen, the Drexler, and that was the quarterback I talked about.

The young lefty, he's got a nice little arm, makes a nice pass, is completed right there, and picks up the first down.

All

right, Aiden Bushman is now coming off the field.

Did he make a

tackle?

It was a nice tackle on that reception.

from Swamigan.

Yep, he's, I'm just kneeling right now.

Honestly, my guess is probably got the wind knocked out of him.

That's what it looks like.

So he's been an attendant too.

We'll see what happens here as we go forward.

All right,

Morgan, I'm getting a lot of time at the quarterback.

Ball hiked and off left and totally swallowed

out.

Yep, right away there.

That was number 91, Dawson Minema.

Minema.

Minema Dawson.

Right on that one Dawson, a big kid, 5'11", 250.

Oh yeah.

Dawson, it's tough to run by him in the middle, and I know a lot of teams try to basically do their best to run around him, and he's a pretty stalwart right in the center of the line there.

He is.

That's a tough kid to move.

5-11, 250.

And here we go, up to the line of scrimmage.

That's Will Knack leading him up there.

All

right, here's

Novak, here's gonna be that counter play and caught gobbled up.

It's him again.

He's awesome.

Absolutely.

I was watching him that play.

He just absolutely

torched what would have been his blocker.

And Drexler, nothing he could do.

Kenny got it and he was swallowed up for a couple yard loss right there.

And it's gonna bring up a third and 15-ish.

Are you feeling that deja vu?

Because I feel

like they had a third and 13, third and 14, not just a minute ago.

And honestly, I'm sitting here.

I'm like, what's stopping?

Borgen from doing the exact

same play they just

did.

I

feel it coming, Namosti.

I

feel it coming.

Let's see if Shwamagen, the players, are going to be aware of this one.

5-0-5 to go here in this first quarter.

Klock's kicking.

Shwamagen, or in loggers, up to the line of scrimmage.

All right, tight formation here.

Still in shotgun, still running back back there.

Receiver on either side.

Ball hiked.

Looks like it's going to be a sweep to the right.

No box.

Puss it inside.

That's a holding penalty.

Novak might have get into the end zone.

He did, but it's coming back.

It's going to be coming back unless

it's a freak penalty on the

defense.

And we'll see here the referee going to call it here right now.

Says against the loggers.

He pointed this way.

Home crowd is silent.

They're waiting and there it is.

There it is.

So touchdown is going to be coming back Matthew Novak.

It would have been his first touchdown of the season.

And a hold is going to bring it back in.

You know, Steve, sometimes you see that on a long touchdown.

I know.

Well, if I see you, then you go, man, he got a touchdown.

I was like, well, the hole was probably there because of holding.

But I'm not.

I watched Matthew Novak when he did cut because he's running, he's running horizontal.

When he cut vertical, he got so many yards really

quickly.

He really

did.

No, Novak's really shifty, really quick.

All right.

Third and what 25 now at the about the 30

up a 29 yard line.

Looks like a logger play here.

They might air this one out shotgun.

Let's see.

Morgan hold in.

Yep a little return to the back

over and complete pass.

In complete pass he would add one guy to beat over there to go down the sidelines a little bit and that one didn't work fourth down here.

That was intended receiver Mark Hoeglund.

Hoeglund.

Hoeglund.

Yep.

All right.

Just over this outstretched arms of Hoeglund.

All right.

Well this is just one of those times where it's fourth and 25 there's really not a really there's really not a play in the playbook so you just air it out and see what happens.

Yeah.

All right.

Tight formation again.

They got a bunches all on the left side there on the line.

Ball height, quarterback keeps.

Drexler, left side.

Ball blockers, has a

hole, straight

forward, and it's going to be a turnover on down.

A nice play there, nice run from Drexler.

But you know, Swamigand did the right thing.

All they had to do was kind of guard them up, gobble them up, not let them get to the end zone.

They did a nice job, some safety defense there.

Turnover on down, Steve.

Yeah.

437 to go here in this first quarter.

It's eight to nothing loggers.

Swamigand staying alive

here.

Yep.

That was a statement drive for the Eagles and I know you got helped out by a penalty big time there, but you haven't really been able to force foreign outs in almost two weeks.

Yeah, just to be able to get one, get some belief back in your defense.

Now I know the Loggers didn't get a touchdown, but what they did was they drove the ball all the way to the 10 yard line for the Eagles.

They got to drive 90 yards just to equalize this

game.

Yeah.

not going to be easy.

What they really want to do here is not turn this ball over deep in the end zone and picking up a couple of yards, maybe only one.

Yeah, Mark Oskavaric got the ball.

That's some positive yardage.

Anyways, they did another fake reverse.

This one didn't fumble.

Mark Oskavaric has been coming along as a junior here.

All

right.

It's

going to be second down in 10.

We're going to call it.

Looks like a no game on that last place, Steve.

Yep.

413 and ticking here loggers or swam again way back at their ten yard line.

All right trips receivers left one right shotgun for Ethan You got to be looking right here Ethan looking to get this down to feel almost

back

almost it was dangerous right there and that was Fine to see who got onto the quarterback, but that was Derek Piszka getting down there Derek

The Piscas have been all over the place.

There's two Piscas out there.

That

was

Derrick this time.

They both got a fumble recovery.

Yes, they're both playing.

The Piscas boys.

All right.

And that was Derrick.

We call him D during the football season.

See if we call him diesel and during the baseball season, we call him all pole Piscas.

You know your athlete when you got multiple names.

Yeah, there you go.

Up to the line of scrimmage, your third and 10 coming up here.

All right.

Trip receivers left, one right.

Shotgun.

Looks like two man rush for the Eagles right here.

Or sorry for the loggers.

Lookin' left, throws the ball, and it's gonna be off the hands of the receivers in complete fourth and ten.

Yeah, not sure who that one was to.

There's two receivers over there.

It almost looked like they were able to both catch it.

It was overthrown over both of them, so I guess in my mind it didn't really matter who

the intended receiver was.

Fourth and ten coming down, I'm guessing we're gonna see a punt here.

With

four minutes

to go.

The tough thing...

For Ethan is you know, this is his first year quarterback and there's a lot of things you got to learn at that position

Not

only to read defenses to have the timing of your throws just the ability to throw the ball Yeah, but the one thing that he is in the beginning stages is learning progression.

Sure the first person he looks at that's what he's throwing sure All right looks like they're lining up to punt which smart you're at your own ten yard line.

So here we go

ball hiked

goes over the head.

He's got to grab the ball, turns, kicks,

and it's going to be pooch, but hey.

What a play from him.

Goes out at the 30 yard line that was lucky that wasn't a safety,

lucky it wasn't a

touchdown.

Well, it wasn't a lot of pigs.

I'll take the 30 yards.

Absolutely.

It ended

up being a 20 yard net gain

on that right

there.

A nice job.

Who punted that one away?

Steve,

I wasn't even

watching.

I couldn't see

the night.

Perhaps off to him right there.

He might be leading the way here as the Jeff Aitken and Ruffin player of the game after that play right there for Slovakia.

348 to go here.

Another turnover or not a turnover on downs, but longer is going to have the ball here in good field position at the 30 yard line

of Slovakia.

348 to go.

Good job

forcing the punt there.

All right.

Got everyone on the line except for the running back and quarterback and shotgun.

It's

gonna be a direct

snap to Drexler this time.

Keeping right.

Cuts it up and back.

Picks up a couple.

Good run.

Keep the clock moving.

Keep the clock moving and you know there's gonna be a Steve.

This is gonna be a Steve Precours signature offensive series right here Steve.

It's gonna run the clock right down to the bottom here.

He's gonna try to pick up about three yards on every play.

And we'll see if the loggers are able to do it.

Yeah, by being ideal, well for the loggers is you score and the first quarter ends and really put up the

pressure.

Yes.

Okay.

It looks like you got some 50-50

tickets.

Yeah.

You did.

Nate's looking to get wind big here

tonight.

There you go.

Hey, no, we're going to get a half time.

We're going to get Nate's take at half time here coming up too.

Okay.

0-8 to go here.

Ball hiked.

Quarterback keep left.

Thawna's blockers.

Get some steam behind

him.

He's

able to break free.

He gets knocked out of

bounds.

Legs.

play.

Correct.

So that looked like it almost could have been a flag of some kind of a defensive play.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what it is.

Just because it was thrown so late there.

We're going to see though.

I mean,

did the ref think it was unnecessary roughness because the player was still in bounds when the tackle hit.

I hope that wasn't the case because that would be a missed call, but.

I'd be with you on that one.

I'm interested to see what the call is here.

I didn't see a hold, but we obviously were looking for Kenny over there.

Kenny Drexler running that ball up the left sideline here, brought it all the way down.

I don't know where around the ten yard line maybe.

He ran into all of the bodies

and he squeaked

out

somehow,

all illegal block in the back by the locker.

So it's going to move it back here after a nice run by Kenny Drexler.

Hey, all that, that penalty I think happened late in the play there.

Most of it was Kenny Drexler, nice run by him.

Yeah, no, he ran.

I thought he was just going to be, I was about to say, and he gets tackled, but then he just squeaked out and got another like 10, 15 yards out of nowhere.

He did.

So that

moves the loggers back.

It's going to be second down and seven.

Okay.

Because that, that holder, that legal block happened so far down the field, it only backed him up seven for how many yards?

All right.

Motion, right?

Looking.

Morgan looking to pass, airs it down the

field.

He's open.

Oh, and

drop.

by the big.

Who was it down there?

It was a little under thrown, but that ball was so catchable.

Is that McCoy-Dulaski?

It was.

Oh, McCoy wants that one back right there.

Oh, yes, he does.

He's the offensive lineman checked in as the tight end, and it was in his hands right there.

He's going to hear about this one.

Oh, my goodness.

And it was a trick play there.

McCoy-Dulaski.

You know, Coach always tries to get them offensive linemen, a big play like that when they can.

Oh, yeah, sometimes you can kind of forget that they're always calling who's eligible and you just kind of forget

yeah 256 to go here first quarter 8-0 loggers lead loggers got the ball third and nine here at their own 29 year at the Schwammigan 29 yard line motion left

the flag full start full start a

lot move the loggers back further It's going to be third and 14 coming up and the loggers are I

honestly the thing that's keeping them from turning this score up as penalties.

Yeah, and

Undisciplined

football can lose you a game.

So we'll see what happens right now.

We got penalties on the logger side and turnovers on the Eagles.

Yeah, and see who can who can clean up their mistakes first?

Yeah, who's going to fight through this right here?

First quarter only and here we go.

Alright, everyone bunched up and they got the receivers on the right side there on the line.

Dress are all alone in the backfield.

Looking like he's keeping it sweeping right.

Found the blockers got

space.

That's five yards.

big hit out of bounds nice pickup for him right there it's going to bring up an easier make a fourth and manageable

Seven, I'm not sure.

There's just something about football and the kids lower in the shoulders.

Oh, I love seeing that.

And that's Kenny Drexler

right there.

He's going to

go down there.

And especially when you don't have that breakaway speed, we talked about right there.

Kenny, he's going to lower his shoulder and he's going to get everything he can out of it.

You can't be afraid of it.

You got to relish it.

Absolutely.

249 to go here.

Logger has got a fourth and three coming up.

All right, now that I was going sweep left this time.

able to fight through all of the body, sniff arms.

I think he was tackled short of the first down.

It's close.

And what a run, but even a better tackle, and that might have been number 64 down there for Shlomigan, Dawson Schmidt.

There we go.

We'll

see where they put him there.

It's going to be a first down for Shlomigan, isn't it?

Turn over on downs again.

Man, that was close.

It was.

Eagles.

Another turnover there.

Hey, we haven't allowed a lot of commercial breaks here today, Steve.

Well, I mean, they're

rolling.

The teams are just right now.

I just feel like I'm watching a boxing match and they're

just going back and forth.

We said we this is going to be a better game than we kind of anticipated having, you know, if you based on similar opponents.

Well, these teams want to win.

Yeah, I mean, this is your rival school, right?

They probably got each other on Snapchat.

They've been talking smack all week.

Here we go.

Swabbing with the ball.

Our right side, they're running and tackle there.

I think a loss on that play.

Try to go on the right side.

It's going to be... Steve, this is going to be the tough part for Shulam.

Again, they have to keep this game close because I have a feeling it's hard to stream together big play after big play.

I'm going to hit my

head up against the wall if they keep doing these fake reverses.

Pick a spot.

We'll end it off and go up a hole.

This is frustrated me a little bit.

I feel like right now the loggers are showing you how quick their edge rushers are.

And if you're just going to be spending too much time trying to hand off the ball, they're going to get

to you.

Here's Dylan Seidenbender over the center here playing most tackle.

Here's the freshman I talked about earlier, Steve.

See if he can make a play.

All right.

Ball missed snap over Ethan.

He's just got to fall on top of it.

Fell on top of it, a loss of about ten yards at least on that one.

Two minutes in kicking here, Schwamegan kicking themselves in the feet here.

and backed up all the way down by like that 10 yard line.

Steve, it can be dangerous down here.

Timeouts are available for coach pre-core here.

Yeah, I know.

It's one of those things where you call a timeout to settle your team, but you're only a minute 30 away from the first quarter break.

Yeah,

and it's a third and 20.

You might see at this spot right here a timeout after this play if there's a no gain on it.

And here we go.

Swam again up to the line of scrimmage.

A minute 28 to go way back at their 10 yard line, third and 20.

Three receivers, two left, one right.

Shotgun.

Rush is going to come from the right side.

Fall, handed off.

He pumps up.

He's throwing it.

There's no one there.

And it looks like there was just a misread on the route.

DJ looking at his quarterback saying, hey, that wasn't the spot.

And I wonder if Ethan

just was like, he's guarded, throwing it away.

So fourth down.

Fourth and 20 coming up from deep here.

Lawyers are going to have a chance here.

And Schwammigen is going to have to kick this one off again at their 10 yard line.

Steve, so important here for Schwammigen to close this first quarter out.

If they can get away here at 8-0 at the end of the first quarter, I'll take that right now.

Absolutely.

With the amount of turnovers that they've had.

Yeah, they're going to have to punt again here.

Minute 15 to go Schwammigen here, they're going to punt.

So Cole Kraus is the punter.

That's the one that made that awesome play on the previous punt.

They're going to punt from their 10 yard line.

Back deep is Kenny Drexler.

There we go.

Much better.

Snap, nice kick and that is just going in over and get a nice bounce.

It's going to be picked up at the... Oh!

Do the eagle

got it?

I think Drexler got it.

Oh Drexler got it, okay.

He kind

of

touched it and the eagle got in there quick, but... That was kicked deep a nice one there from... Wow.

From Kraus all the way back to the 42 yard line of the Lawgors.

Kenny Drexler tried picking it up late.

It kind of had a couple awkward bounces and then he touched it and it hit the ground.

He barely touched the ball, so it was a chance for the Eagles to get that one back, but Drexler good a job getting on top of this.

This is a unique experience.

The graph on the logger side of the field is nice and soft, untouched, unplayed on.

So we finally get to see a play

on the logger's

territory.

We've been leaned out the window looking to the left.

Hey, it's the Holm-Schwamegun screaming Eagles here in their green and gold uniforms, gold helmets, green uniforms, gold lettering, the Phillips logger's black pants, white.

Tops and black helmets, both looking sharp here tonight.

All right, tight formation for the loggers, shotgun, ball hike.

Tucks are going to keep it himself.

He's caught behind, and that's who else?

Dawson, Minima.

Yep, he's getting back there today.

He's starting to have himself again.

Yep, Dawson, we've called his name a few times.

He's been on at least three, four plays, big plays, and clock ticking 50 seconds to go, and it's going to be the loggers backed up to the 40-yard line.

Still again, one big play.

That's the beautiful thing about eight man football, Steve.

You're always one play away from a score.

I don't

know.

I mean, even your, because your scoring drive, it was like third and 12 or whatever it was, and you guys picked it left and was able to rip it up the field.

So it's just creating opportunities

to

get sure.

And

that was on like the first couple plays of the game.

That was the

third play of the game.

And

it's been just back and forth fights since then.

Yep.

Here we go.

20 seconds to go.

Loggers.

Try to get a big play out of this right here.

Could be the last play of the game.

Or of the first quarter, I should say, not the game.

Jax are going to keep it up the middle.

He goes and Tag from behind picks up a couple, maybe three.

Yeah, gets back in sack yardage and a little bit extra.

It's going to be about third and eight and we're at seven seconds with the clock has stopped.

I don't lose there.

Okay, that's over good.

It's four seconds now.

It's

gonna run off to the first quarter.

So first quarter gonna be finished up here right now It's eight to nothing bloggers leading the Schwabigan screaming Eagles and we're gonna send it back to 98 Q country end on the civic media app for one minute time out

Hey, welcome back everybody.

Jeff Hakenan here along with Steve Jettlin joining forces here tonight and we're having a fun game here tonight.

Steve, it's eight to nothing back and forth.

It's gone and I'm just having a blast.

You're doing it, Cynthia.

Yes,

both defenses seem to kind of have rhythm now, both with the pass rush and able to tackle on first contact.

So really question is which offense can start to build

steam and start moving forward?

Novak, a direct snap to him on this left side.

He's almost tackled, stays alive, a little shifty, picked up a couple.

All right, that's only about a one yard gain and now it's fourth down for the loggers here to open up the second quarter.

Steve, I like how you said that to start this out here.

Both teams finding rhythm.

Finding a little bit of confidence as well.

We're seeing a couple players make some plays.

How important is that when you're in football here and you make a big tackle?

That's all you want to do is beat that guy in front of you.

I feel like that's starting to blossom here right now.

I think that's the best part of football.

You make one good tackle.

You just want to keep doing it.

We're seeing Minima do that.

Yeah, we're definitely seeing Minima do that.

He's been in the backfield all night.

Yep.

Big 511, 250 pound junior on this left side of the defense.
