Football: Hurley vs. Tri-County

The following is a special sports presentation on WJMS.

Espirus Ironwood Hospital in Ironwood, Iron County Community Credit Union of Hurley, Hits Fine Furniture of Ironwood and Ashland, Lakeview Dental Agency of Ashland, Northwood Technical College, Bringing You the Smart Choice of the Game, Mark Fowler, Honda Toyota in Ashland, and by Wood Tech Builders in Ironwood.

And now let's go out for all the exciting action of high school sports.

Good afternoon football fans.

It's high school football time again as Wisconsin kicks off the 26th football season.

I'm Rod Helversen and joining me this afternoon from Hurley, Joe

Rimkes.

Well, good afternoon.

How you doing today, Rod?

doing good, doing good.

It came on quick, didn't

it?

Boy, it sure did.

You know, we did the border bash in early June and we thought we had a whole long time before football started and boy, here we are at Adams Memorial Field already.

But like I said, I'd rather do a game on a warm August afternoon than a chilly November evening.

Yeah, it is a beautiful afternoon.

Got a little bit of rain earlier, not much, but the forecast does call for it later on tonight.

Hopefully we get through this game without any and

We'll see what happens.

Yeah, Crow is still filing in.

We got about 15 minutes for a kickoff.

Few fans made their way up from Plainfield, Wisconsin, which is about half hour south of Stevens Point, hour north of Madison.

So it is a long ride.

There's a few fans there and there's still time to go before we kick off.

Yeah, I'm looking at their bus over there.

That's a luxury bus that they drove up there.

Yeah, they sure come in style, don't

they?

They

do.

They look like it's eight man football and I'm just trying to count the players they have over there.

It looks like they have about 20 players.

Looks like it.

Yeah, we

should mention who's here by the way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Early taken on Tri Coney on the Plainfield, Wisconsin.

This is the team that beat last year and we're on one of the playoffs.

And if I remember correctly, the comma, even though it's last year, you still talk about they were the only road team to win in the eight man tournament.

that week, and I think they were the only team to have a shutout in eight-man.

So I'm sure Tri-County remembers that.

They graduated their top two players, as Hurley also had some graduation losses.

So I'm sort of Tri-County, probably circled this one on the schedule right away, and said, we're going to look for revenge up there in Hurley.

Hopefully they don't get it.

Right.

And it's, like I said, it is a beautiful night for football.

Hurley's got a good group of kids.

I mean, it looks like at least 30 of them out there.

And it's going to be an interesting football game, Rod.

I think today's going to be a little bit of the jitters getting out of them first, because they start off, you know, usually get out there and have a little jitters.

But once they settle down, it's going to be a good football game.

Yeah.

And at this point, being the first game of the season, they suited up everybody in the program.

There's a lot of freshman softwares out there.

Whether or not they'll see playing time, we don't know.

Gotcha.

I think that's the same on both sides.

I was talking to the coach.

from Tri-County earlier as he came on to the field and I remember last year's game their backup quarterback was I believe his first name was Julian I think it was Julian Vega and I was expecting to see him tonight because he got a little bit of playing time I thought last year but he moved away okay transferred to Berlin high school so coach said yeah they you know it's kind of a big loss for them in the football program but you know this is

That's something you deal with as a coach and right next man up basically

well the coach's name I like his name Dallas Topper

Yes, I like that name.

I even like the kid that's playing quarterback for them Chevy Hulk

Yeah, yeah, they got some real cool names down there.

You know, yes

Yeah, we might struggle with some of these games as we get through there.

Yeah,

we'll touch on them as we go through it So they're gonna have gamey and free ball at quarterback.

He is a

Junior, and we don't have any heights or weights.

I did manage to grab two heights and weights off of Max Prep.

So I have three guys that I know how big they are.

And those are probably the guys that you'll hear more of tonight as the game goes on.

Exciting.

Well, it is.

Football is always exciting.

This time of year, everybody loves football.

College is going to start pretty soon.

Pearls are starting.

And high school is also starting.

You know, you wait and wait until this time of year and everybody's excited about it.

But then, then you think about what's coming later on, you know, and we would get halfway through the season and we get those little snowflakes coming through.

But that's all right.

We bear with it up here in the North, right?

Right.

These first games are interesting because these kids have been, well, they had scrimmage last Friday.

They don't even watch the Newman.

But scrimmage is just the, it's no more than a glorious practice in a way.

There's some hitting, but you're playing against different

different faces for a while but for the last two and a half weeks basically they've been going at it with each other and I'm sure they're excited now to go up against opponents from a different school.

Yeah definitely and like you said some of the some of the teams don't even have enough like they have 12 players and we were talking about that this morning a little bit on the sports show and that's got to be hard to practice when you only have

12 guys, you got 8 against 4.

What do you do?

You know, how do you get the practice in?

And then you also talked a little bit about some of the schools that possibly dropped out or did drop out.

Gillett dropped to a JV program.

Gillett is down close.

If you don't know where it is, it's down near Sean.

A little bit north of Seanal.

In between Seanal and Pulaski, they dropped, which helped Ironwood because Ironwood was then, they picked up Florence.

Because Florence had an opening already.

They were supposed to play Gila, I guess, next week, so now they will play Ironwood.

And then I found out last night that Elko White Lake, who's in this conference, is also going to a JV program.

So that's going to throw this whole schedule into a tizzy here.

These athletic directors now have to scramble, because since it's a conference

team, it's going to affect everybody.

Right, right.

conference games mean the most of course you know and they're not going to have the Hurley Ironwood game this year you were talking about you said that one will not be played it's uh yeah that's

well you know here's here's a scenario you know if so Hurley Hurley was supposed to play Elko on the 18th of September that's the same night that ironwood is playing on to noggin if Hurley can finagle

No, I would know how they do that early.

I was already committed to on to noggin No, um, no, I guess Well, I was thinking if ironwood could scramble their Schedule, but they can't after yeah after the first week because that would be their their non-conference game So Hurley's gonna be looking for someone to play and it's gonna be bad if they don't find anybody because they have an eight game schedule as it is

If they don't find an opponent for that September 18th, that gives them seven games only.

Yeah, and doesn't it take six to get you into the playoffs?

Six

wins?

Yes.

So six wins to get into the playoffs, so you pretty much got to play air-free ball for six games.

And I heard Sol and Springs also went to a GV or they may have dropped football altogether.

So there are some opportunities for Hurley, like look at Sol and schedule and see who they were playing.

on the 18th of September and stuff like that.

So it'll be a jogging act for a for a really administration to try to find a spot.

It's going to be hard.

I guess because that's in week four.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

It's coming up quick, but we'll see why the sun is out.

It's nice because it was coming.

It wasn't pouring investment, but it was a steady rain.

Yeah.

I saw when I was looking outside, it was raining a little bit, but right now, perfect football weather tonight, folks.

come on out to Memorial Field and in Hurley and enjoys good football action.

Hurley's opener tonight taken on Tri-County so it should be very exciting Rod.

Yeah Tri-County Penguins coached by Dallas Topper and Hurley coached by Chris Edivine.

Tri-County part of the Central Wisconsin 8th conference.

Hurley is in the Northwood East Conference and I know you're out there asking well who's in that conference.

I will tell you Central Wisconsin 8th.

Almond Bancroft Bowler Gresham Minong Tigerton Manamini Nation Port Edwards Rochalt Tri-County and Wild Rose for the Northwood East at Hurley's Inn They had some teams move around in there and they have Shawamigan Elko White Lake well, they don't have them no more they went to JB as I just said Hurley Phillips Prentice Rib Lake Three Lakes Phelps

and Wabino Leona, or Leona Wabino, whichever you prefer.

That

depends on what town you live in.

You know, Joe, this is one of the best fight songs in America.

It is.

It's a Notre Dame fight song, too.

It happens to be.

Yeah,

I didn't realize that.

Oh, yeah.

I can understand that.

Yeah, it is a good fight song, no.

Hopefully you hear it a lot tonight.

Probably will.

I mean, a lot of points for Hurley.

So they play the fight saw captains are out at midfield.

They're getting ready to talk it to the reps there and getting ready for the coin toss.

All right, let's see who's gonna See what they're gonna call up there.

Looks like they aren't to tell who won the toss.

Well, they're talking to Hurley, aren't

they?

Yeah, they're wondering which way they want to defend.

Maybe I'm not sure.

We'll see who's gonna get the opening kickoff there

in about five minutes.

Still hasn't decided.

We're watching a referee search for a signal.

Maybe it's like that Pittsburgh Steeler game remember.

All right.

Here we go.

Here comes the signal from Early is going to receive.

All

right.

Well there get the ball first at home

I would say then that tri-county probably won the toss and deferred.

Yeah, they could have safe move.

Yeah But yeah early gets the ball first and we're about What is it four minutes away four and a half minutes away?

Did you want to take a quick break?

Yeah, let's do that.

We'll come back in about three minutes and we'll probably have the national anthem about that time and we'll be set for kickoff here from Veterans Memorial Field.

Tri-County Penguin is taking on the Hurley North Stars.

We'll be back in three minutes.

Other games going on of interest of somewhat local teams.

Shawam again is at Bruce Gilman is at Phillips Cornell is at real Blake and siren is at Washburn 15 other eight-man games going on tonight 16 on Friday and two on Saturday full weekend of football.

That flag is blowing quite What's the word

a lot?

I Think I got I got it gauged at about seven miles an hour.

Yeah

Just enough to make it move.

This would help the passing game going towards the north end zone.

Certainly would help the punning game if they'd kick up in the jet stream.

What a perfect night though.

Nice breeze out there and you have the referees.

Somewhere I wrote them down for you.

Do you

remember where I put them?

Let's see what I got here.

Referees tonight are Mike Schwartz Sr., Paul Cooler, Jerakavich, Jay Budgie, Ayala.

John, Iowa.

Where are your referees?

What did I miss?

Oh, and Mike Schwartz, Jr.

too.

All those quotations.

Oh, I was trying to save my ink.

Oh, I got you.

That's why I got a pencil.

Plus, I make a lot of mistakes.

I'm a new stat sheet.

Joe,

this

is our first football game.

Oh, I know.

I'm excited.

Yes.

All right, good to be here with you.

Number 23 has a teed up.

That is Gage Beggs.

I saw a lot of him last year.

He was the other running back for the Penguin.

Here's the run-up and the kick.

And it's a low line drive.

It's going to be taken by Hayne at about the 15 yard line.

Gets to 30, cuts around looking for the corner.

He's at the 30, 35 and finally run out of bounds at about the 37 yard line.

Nice return by Hayden, came up the Hurley sideline and cut it way over to the Trinconi sideline.

And you can see how quick he is again this year.

Just his speed last year was crazy.

I mean he gets that corner and if they don't have him then he'll turn up that corner and go.

So it's first in 10 North Stars on their own 37 yard line.

Just on your way here, glad you could join us.

And let's see it's gonna be max coddle at quarterback We're number 33, he's gonna go out the shotgun.

I believe that's coddle 33 is it?

Yes, it is He's far positive yard is picked up five yards.

I

believe

So you're down here in the first quarter area first quarter.

Yeah, 33 and five

those

learning how to take stats.

Yeah, we'll be talking a lot

all that big numbers.

Yep.

Nice game on first down

second

and

five Cotto's gonna go to the shot done and let's see.

Well, I could go there.

Oh, yeah, I was just gonna see three was back there.

Bowden Gilberton also back lined up alongside Cotto and he got the direct snap

So Gilbertson gonna pick up about let's see where they're gonna mark it.

I'd say four yards

Number

three he's number three

I'll

get there.

Yep Third and one ball on the Hurley 46 yard line Three guys in the backfield now

This one goes to wrist that was directly to Hainan.

He's got a he's off the races and you'll not catch Charlie and he will take it the distance They had three guys lined up each way staff could have went to either one it went to Hainan.

He pretty much went on touch for a 54 yard touchdown run with 1035 to go in the first quarter Hurley is on the board

Quickly

that's what we were talking about.

Yeah, he gets breaks one line of containment there.

He's usually gone He did that last year so many times we watched him and he would break long runs He is quick.

I

expect

early

to go for two here as they have in the past for many many years Caught a lined up in the shop confirmation Scott Bowden Gilbertson right off his end the ball is gonna go right to Gilbert's and then he looks like he's gonna cross into the

End zone two point conversion.

Good with 1035 to go.

You don't have to worry about that.

1035 to go first quarter.

It's early eight and Tri-County nothing.

We'll be

back in 30 seconds.

All

right, back here in Hurley.

Well, nice run by Charlie Heyman.

Third play from Scrimmage, and he rambles 54 yards, and Hurley's on the board with the two-point conversion.

They lead eight to nothing.

Yeah, 63 yards, Rod, and three plays.

Yes, and not a bad offense,

though.

Hurley just in their black uniforms with orange numerals and orange helmets.

Tri-Cone.

Alright, what'd we figure out?

Those cranberry colored pans?

I

think

it is cranberry.

That's what I'd go with.

White jerseys and black numerals.

And number 12 has the wall teed up.

That is weshly shilly.

We don't have sizes on the white Tony guys except for our gauge bags.

Yeah, there's a couple big guys on there, but... Oh, that was a...

Don't see that

happen very often.

They still have to down it.

Yeah.

Oh, they're going to call off.

Okay, what happened was he barely touched the ball.

Did he just miss it?

Is it a penalty?

Is it offside on

Hurley?

He threw a flag, so I think it's a 5-yard penalty and he got a kick over, I think, because he got the tee out there yet.

Did you notice that nobody from Hurley touched that ball?

Right.

Tony could have went and picked that ball up and gone for a touchdown, although there was a penalty called.

What's the penalty though?

Did they call offside?

It had to be.

I think they... So they must have had the option to decline the penalty and get the ball where it was dead.

I haven't seen that ever happen.

I haven't either.

The ball went what?

Not even a yard.

No.

He just whiffed on it.

He looked

like one of my kickoffs.

All right, so try counting in good field position at the Hurley 41 yard line.

Handoff goes to number 67.

He's a good size running back

on

Mondo Garcia.

Beautiful hit by Lutzer though.

Marshall Lutzer made a nice tackle and the rest came, but that was a beautiful tackle.

No game on that, Kerry.

He's up second in 10.

Quarterback is, is it number two?

I was told it was number two.

Yep, Damian.

Hey man free bill Yeah, I think you'll hear a lot of cage begs so you can tell him begs as well.

He's got the Neal colored shoes and he's got the ball now try to turn the corner and we're gonna have a penalty This could be holding on tri-county.

Yeah, he begs You've got that right rod the official already show holding on that end so

Hurley might take the play though and push them back give him make it third in 12

Or make a 3rd and 4th, 2nd and 12th, 3rd and 8th, what are they going to do here?

They're going to back them up, yep, so... Tritone holding penalty,

they'll

cost them 10 yards.

Move the ball back to midfield now, so Tritone is facing a 2nd and 19th, 952 to go here in the first quarter.

Beautiful afternoon.

No one's that son came out again.

Wonderful Rebuilding the shot confirmation long count He was gonna take it himself.

He's got the running backs out there for blocking turns the corner and then knocked out of bounds He got back maybe to the original line of scrimmage

had a good bunch of blockers in front of them

I'm gonna give him 10 yards.

He's back at the original line of scrimmage

So

third

and 10

ball on the Hurley 40 yard line.

Yeah, Charlie Hainan knocked about a bounce, but good game there.

People will line up in the shotgun.

He's got bags off to his left in here is a hand up to bags looking for the corner and he will not even get back to the line of scrimmage getting in there for Hurley.

Tripped he on all right.

Yep

So big loses three Why he shot that gap quick.

He sure did almost like he knew that play was coming

Probably

saw that play last year.

Yeah, I would expect a puntier Fourth and 12 from the early 42 yard line It'd probably be smart

to

put them back a little

bit in the

wind.

Yep They could probably get a decent punt there, but they don't look like they're going to bump formation

No, they're at this point.

Looks like they're gonna go for it

And it's gonna be a funnel and recovered by early On the ball for early there rod is number 12 so

67

No

gain on the carry and he fumble And who did you say

Wesley Schilling got the recovery

What number is he?

Number 12.

Yep.

All right, so Hurley in good field position.

Better start than last week, or last, last week, right?

Last series.

Low, low snap, but Gilberton picked it off the ground and picked up the first eye.

I picked up 10 yards on

that one.

Nice.

Very nice carry that time.

So

then

Mark a first down rushing right here.

Oh, okay Here the wind coming into the press box But we got the windows open because it puts a nice warm breeze first in 10 early on the tri-county 46 yard line And that goes to number five and he almost broke it for our touchdown that was landing press officer Joe on these first couple plays

Hurley has a lot of weapons.

They do.

They have a lot of weapons and the snap is low, but they picked that ball up nice and they're doing a great job of gaining some yardage.

What was that that time?

Seven?

Seven, yes.

Second and second and three.

Rick snapped a hand in and he turns the corner.

Can he break a tackle?

No, but he will get the first down and he is buried under a sea of white.

But another first down for Hanna and let's see from the was a 39 down to the Ten yards he picked up.

Yeah And they'll be a run and there'll be another first down for them.

Okay first in 10 early on the tri-county 30 Now caught a good moves into a tight end position so they're moving the guys all around here

Back snap who's this one going to go to go to Hain and he adds it off to Gilbertson and he'll pick up positive yardage I'd give them three yards on that carry Oh, I can

smell those burgers coming.

Oh, can I yeah?

I thought the wind was blowing that

way.

Yeah, it's blowing very fast.

Yeah, bring it right over here.

Yes.

Well good three yard gain right there

Who's in the backfield now?

Is it Shilin?

Hainan Gilbertson and Shilin, right?

Yeah

And all coddles in the backfield and Schilling moves to tight end.

They're really mixing it up.

And up to Hainan looking for the corner.

And there he is.

I think I saw a flag.

Yes, I did see a flag.

They got a hold on that end.

Yep.

Yep, I think they got a hold on that end.

This could be holding on hurly,

I

think.

Probably a safe call.

A safe prediction, I should say.

I'm

going to say he's going to take this penalty.

I would.

Yeah, no discussion there.

I'm

going to say we'll decline and get the ball back.

Yeah,

yeah.

Beautiful run by Hayden though, but yeah, there was holding on that left side, so brings the ball back.

Ten yard penalty, Rod.

All right.

So it'll be first in 20 now for, well, scoreboard chose first in 19.

Second and nineteen are there.

This is Cottle, back to Pass, he's got a guy out there, overshot Hainan.

Hainan at 5'10, need to be probably around 6'2 to catch that pass.

Then you go pass would be number 33 to 21 and mark into I underneath it.

incomplete

okay so that's how that works okay now I got you now we're ready to rock yep early leading right now eight to nothing you're here in the first quarter

642 to go third down and 19 let's see what the call is here low snap goes to coddle not a guy out there oh

wide open was landing Christopher said I don't know if he would have got the first down but he overshot him you let him a little bit too much

yeah he's he's rolling to a strong side too in the past doesn't look good right now it's very wobbly and like he's a little not setting himself

we're

anxious maybe a little anxious but now a long way to go on fourth down I think they're gonna punt probably I would

well let's see balls on the 39-yard line

They could back them up around the ten yard line.

It looks like they're gonna go for it.

Cottle and Gilbertson I believe in the back field.

Low snap.

Cottle grabs it out the ground and almost intercepted.

Bass was intended for Kristofferson.

Falls incomplete.

Yeah that went incomplete and they'll take over on downs on their own 39 yard line.

I guess he figured broad that Hurley's defense is playing strong, so if they give him to the ball decent field position, they'll hold him.

Yeah, based on that first series.

So Tri-County takes over, ball's on their own 39 yard, then we've got 6-31 to go first quarter, 8-0 and Hurley.

You could join us for first of many high school football games this fall.

We have two next week.

People looking for a rumor on the left side guy guys on the front of on breaks a tackle and carries a couple guys Auto balls.

He picked up nine yards on that Carry that was number two for nine.

Yep Landon Christopherson and Hanan with the tackle but not before he gained nine yards buddy

the number 67 for them Armando Garcia again, we don't have weights on these good size kid he lines up As a wing back on the right side and then he comes across in front of

Freeball and leave the blocking.

Yeah, nice call by a nice setup by Tricone So second and about one maybe two this goes to begs looking for rumor on the left right side He broke a tackle and he will pick up the first down.

Well, it looks like a totally different offense now.

Yeah Well, they they're running outside and they're having that big boy block of the way and that tackle that time by Christopherson, but still

Too many yards gained right

there.

Five.

Five, I'll give him nine yards on that carry.

Picks up a first down, new set of downs for the penguins.

Those teal colored shoes really stand out, don't they?

They do.

First 10-10, Beggs goes in motion.

Pretty well looking for blocking and Hurley had that one read pretty

well.

Couple guys got around their blocks and got back to free.

I think he was dropped for no game

Landon Christopherson and Trent Tian with the tackles there, but did you notice?

Golden Gilbertson kind of gave himself up He blasted through there.

He just dove and took all two block That had to be a tough spot for him two big guys like that coming at you

Checking in at nose guard for Hurley number 85 I'll touch on him after this play

Ron, that's a middle by the big guy, Armando Garcia, and he is close to a first down.

Did he get there?

No, he did not get there.

He's about a yard, two yards short.

I'll give him seven yards.

Noah Alvarez checked in, six, eight, three, 15 nose guards.

Yeah.

Well, Hayden and Christopherson with the tackle, but he gained eight yards, like he said.

And is it third down?

Third and... third and two?

Freeble and off to oh, he's hitting the right now backfield.

That is the big

guy

Garcia.

He blew right through there that time that was That was Owen Neemey blowing through the hole right there And you have to hit him low.

Yeah.

Yep

Checking back in Liam Hall will go back at nose guard and Alvarez will have a seat on the bench

Here is fourth and two, and I don't think he got there.

No.

This is going to be close.

It was a keeper by free ball.

Yep.

Needed to get to both of them.

Just inside the 40 on the early side of the 40, and he did not make it.

No.

Good

defense by the North Stars.

Yeah, Koski did a nice job.

Hainan did a nice job, and he almost broke free a little bit on that second effort, but they held on and pulled him down.

So maybe a yard game there, but short of the first half.

So Hurley takes over.

All right, touchdown Noah Elver is playing football.

This is his 14th day of football.

Yeah.

He's never played football before.

Fairly.

6'8", 3'15".

His little brother is 6'10", 3'80".

His little brother.

There's Kyle on a keeper.

He's going to pick up around 7.

Almost running hard, you know, he's been dealing with leg surgeries and the injuries and good to see him out there.

Very good

senior

Yeah, you gotta gotta be happy for him

Recognize that name from basketball his grandpa was a longtime basketball coach in you and Choke Creek Then go coddle third second and three This is Gilbert's in he's gonna

Yeah, he's gonna be close to the first down.

I don't know if he got it needed three you might have got see where they spot it They're saying a little bit short.

No, they're saying first down.

I'll give them three yards and another first down Joe.

I did and they moved the chains Checking in Liam Hall checking out Bowden or Landon Christopherson

Try to touch on these linemen if we can.

Oh, and Nimi is the center.

Is that 53?

Yes, I think it is 53.

Give them some airtime.

Hainan, we're wrapped up in the backfield, could not turn around the corner or give Damian Fribol the Tricone quarterback credit for busting two of them, breaking that up.

Yeah, no gain that time.

You know, one thing I've noticed Rod, and maybe it's early season yet, but that snap's got to get up higher.

90% of his snaps are low.

They're

all coming off the ground.

Yep.

And that slows everything down.

Yes.

Because the guy catching, the guy back there has to look down.

He can't see where the defense is.

It takes his eyes off the defense.

There's another low snap.

Tosses wide out to the left side and hit hard.

Are they, was that up?

Do what they're calling it.

Is this a lateral?

I think

it's a lateral with a fumble, but recovered by Hurley.

I wasn't sure if that was going to be a forward pass, almost almost intercepted back there or picked off.

So that was, this you give these lost to the running back.

And

that will bring up third and 16.

Well, Tritone's defense has settled down after that first series.

Cottle back to pass.

He's got time.

He's going to air it out there.

He's got Hayden wide open.

Conn, hey, it's a foot race.

And I don't think you're going to catch Charlie Hayden.

60 yard pass from Cottle to Hayden.

And Hayden scores his second touchdown.

of the afternoon

yeah he had him beat right off the line of scrimmage that kid was chasing him the whole time and that time he set his feet nice and threw a beautiful spiral right to Hainan beautiful pass

40 yard pass at the 142 mark and is early going for two we don't know yet they might mix it up a little bit here well Kyle's out backfield is Hainan

Gilbertson and Lotzer.

Lotzer.

He's a keeper and he will walk it in.

Yep.

And with 142 to go here first quarter, it's early 16.

Try counting nothing.

We'll take a 30-second break.

What we see is you.

All right.

Back here in early June, I just took a drink out of your second bottle of water, if you don't mind.

Yeah,

I'm not

thirsty.

Don't worry about it.

You know, you planned one for the first half, one for the second half, I guess.

I didn't think that.

I thought you brought two because there's two people up here.

But you brought two because there's two halves.

And I brought two donuts this morning and you ate one.

You thought they were both one for you, one for me.

My doctor says you got to have fruit.

I'm thinking

of you.

I'm thinking of

you.

All right, all right another nice drive by the North Stars Yeah, that was a beautiful

pass

right on the money the key to that one was getting given coddle time in the backfield to let Hainan get loose behind the defense and He did it was a perfect pass to Hainan over the shoulder catch

Now let's see what this kickoff does

Yeah, is this the same guy kicking off?

Yeah Gotta keep his head down this time.

He picked up his head.

I think Kind of like that golf swing

Shilling with the run up and let's see Much better kick little squibber goes to bags at about the 34 yard line and he's gonna be run out of bounds at about the Tri-County 44 return to about 10 yards Now they're gonna market at the 38 right in front of where I'm standing

43

Tritone heading towards the north end zone.

I think it's

the 43, but

43.

That's what I meant to say So I'm here, you know, it's right in front of me.

I

still

yeah, right front of me is

yeah.

Well the eyesight's not what it used to be First and 10 penguins free ball alone in the backfield

And it looks like they're going to pass it.

A little spasso to Beggs and he breaks a tackle and they'll cut from behind but not until he picks up.

5-10, 15-20, I'll give him 21 yards on that play.

Yeah, Hayden came back to make the tackle but nice looking play there for the Tri-County.

Quickly in the Hurley territory, now at the 37-yard lane, well they were there before and they spoiled all.

Yep.

We go alone in the backfield.

He's got wing backs.

Well, I don't know.

Begs will go in motion and we got

too much movement.

Motion by Tricone.

I'll

back

him up five.

Boy, that's something that hurts too when you get a penalty like that.

You just got a nice play and then get a five yard penalty to move the ball back.

Drives the coach

nuts.

Yes, we're down to a minute and 14 to go here in quarter number one.

Ball and all back on the really 42 yard line first and 15 People at the shotgun takes it to beg so we'll right go tries to move on corner and he's upended nice tackle Tackle by Gilbertson

Christopher, so I think

oh Yeah, five is Christopherson

Let's see, what did he get there?

Well game, thank you.

Thank you again.

But wait long enough.

Yep.

I think they got binoculars down there though.

Well they have three guys on that

side

and two on this end.

So they have six eyes.

Second and 11 is...

Rebo looks to turn the corner, and he is not going to do that,

he's

wrapped up.

Wow, excellent play that time by Marshall Lotzer.

That big guy was coming right at him, he came off his block, and boom, brought him down.

Nice job.

Morgana in that play as well.

Offence has stalled, defense has stepped

up.

That probably was the last play of the first quarter as the clock is down to double zeros and that will do it for quarter number one We'll take one minute break early 16 and try counting nothing we'll be back in one minute

All right, back here in Hurley as we are in between quarter one and two, Hurley up in front, 16 to nothing, and Tritone facing a third and 11 at the Hurley 38 yard line.

Yeah, I'm gonna stick up.

Sneak pick here, I'll hold the stats I'm going.

So you go...

Okay, you want to put his carries and

then here yards.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, this is what I did right here Just like that beautiful and you can just We're gonna have a smart choice of the game this season and I'll read a little live ad here as we're waiting for the start of second quarter the smart choice of the game is brought to you by Northwood Technical College and if you are looking to make a smart choice in your future, please consider

contacting the great folks at Northwood Technical College and make a plan for your future.

Northwood Technical College is located on Beezer Avenue in Aston, right across from the hospital, right next door to Aston High School.

We are back to action here as we start quarter number two.

Free will back to pass under a heavy rush and ball partially tipped could be intercepted and well almost intercepted but give Gates Begg's credit for knocking that ball out of Kristofferson's hands.

as Landon had the better chance of catching it once it was tipped by the onrushing defender.

I'll bring up a huge fourth and two now for the Penguins on the early 38 yard line.

So the smart choice of the game, Joe, as we watch this game, what play had a major effect on the flow of this ballgame.

That's what we're looking for.

The 60 yard touchdown so far.

So far, yes.

Free ball back to pass.

Has time, has time.

Now he's got to roll up to his right and he is going to... Oh, I think he picked up the first down by... No, they're saying he went out at the 42.

He's like two inches short.

No, he's 10 yards short because it was fourth and 12.

I knew that.

It's early in the season.

You got to have these mistakes early.

I think I'm more worried about you taking how you are.

I think you're looking over here.

Yes.

Don't even nothing to see here.

Nothing to see here.

That's all right.

No, it's it's the first game of the year.

You're looking around trying to teach me a little bit too.

It's enough.

So no worries.

You've

been carried for three yards.

Early's first possession here in the second quarter and I got a mark down the last run by

Tritone Just a quick little thing on the first quarter every player carried three times except one So it's pretty good distribution there.

Yes

Bowden Gilbertson with a big hole and he's gonna be close to the first down

real close this is right in my line of vision but I'm gonna say half a yard short maybe yeah

I think you're right on there buddy yep yep half a yard short oh the big guy came in 95 coming in at no tackle

yep yeah they have some beef on that defensive line right now there's one ball on the early 46 yard line 40

Yeah, 46 yard line low snap coddle.

He got a guy wide open and the pass is caught by Wesley shilling Maybe what are they calling down there bumble?

We're covered by try counting mm-hmm.

I took my off the way to see who cut the pass Yeah, you came from behind and swung at the ball and knocked it out

All right, so the pass is complete and give him a completion for From the 46 down to about the 20 I think is where he fumbled it so 30 probably 34 yard pass And then shilling with the fumble so try county that was gauge bags on defense wasn't it knock the ball out

People looking for a rumor on the corner.

Oh, no, he cuts it back But he's wrapped up by the linebackers that came in he he got around the on rushing defense aligned with the linebackers or right there

So I just keep going here with the passes.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

All right

That was a good play defensively from try county because otherwise They had first and 10 at the 20

Second and

Make sure I get this right now second and nine ball on their own their own 19-yard line Free ball Quick pitch out to begs he breaks attack on he's still going

cool a flag up play

up play

came in

They just gonna pick up the first down.

I believe but let's see Where that flag was there might be a spot falls and another holding call

Holding on Tricone Well, that's why he broke that tackle right yeah That's gonna back them up

And

so it's gonna push them back to where back to the 17

Yeah

Second and 14 to go yeah right

around the

15

airline but work Trying to find his name again.

I just had it work tea on him And he made the tackle

And up up the middle.

I believe that went to Garcia As soon he gets up.

Yes, that was Garcia.

He didn't get very much I'll give him maybe a yard

There's up a third and 13, Joe.

It's not third and three, you know.

It's third and 13.

Oh, you just did it once.

I hope Marissa didn't mark that as a mistake.

She did.

Yeah, probably.

Probably.

All right.

Here we go.

We will keep her.

It was a delayed pitch out too big and Hayden

read it

almost grabbed it in midair.

He would have scored.

Is that a fumble though?

No, it's not a fumble.

Is it a forward pass?

It depends on, well, they're just looking at it right now, right?

Because if it went forward, right?

But if it went

backwards,

it's Hurley's ball.

Right.

Well, I can't tell from this angle.

Right, it's a hard angle.

Okay, it was a fumble.

Yep.

There was a neat little trick play by Hayden and did an excellent job of reading that one.

He almost picked it off.

Well a little trickery there for a tricony, but it didn't work

Charlie Hainan with the recovery and Hurley's an excellent field position now on the trite or yeah tricony 15 yard line This is Cottle on a keeper looking for rumor on the left side.

He's gonna be wrapped up and pushed out of bounds by

Don't
