mission to keep our schools number one my name is Elias Raga once again I'm number four on the ballot you can reach me on social media at simply my name and I'd be happy to speak with anyone thank you so much thank you li thank you see uh first off my condolences uh on behalf of myself and those on my side of the avenue on your terrible losses that uh it's clearly the Imp Miss Lucas had and um just sorry um I'm Chris tomato I'm an actor writer podcaster with 15 years experience in media and communication and for the past eight months it's been the privilege of my life to serve Clifton as a city council member for those who may be watching unfamiliar with me I ran for Council in 22 and uh I was unanimously appointed by our current Council to fill councilwoman Lauren Murphy's seat after her tragic passing earlier this year and I'm currently running in this upcoming election on November 5th to keep the seat for the next 2 years and to finish out the term to the parents out there watching I'm proud to join in your ranks I am a new parent myself this past June my incredible wife Lily and I became firsttime parents to a healthy vibrant and beautiful baby boy named s and becoming parents to little baby s was the single best thing that's ever happened to Lily and I it's made our lives better in every conceivable respect with the exception of our sleep it was difficult to make the decision to run for office because I knew the baby would change everything those precious moments playing on the floor with him holding him reading to him teaching him about his toys and the rooms in our house feeling the warmth of his first smile and uh absorbing that magical moment a few weeks into his life when he looked up at me with his big beautiful blue eyes I could tell for the first time that he wasn't seeing a shapeless blur but he saw me his dad looking at back at him with love and he knew in his little growing brain that I was his dad and he was my son all those precious moments and so many more what kind of deranged psychopath would want to run for office when I could have more time to spend with this beautiful boy if I simply stepped aside I'm here because I'm the only candidate in this year's race who will have a child going through this school system in the not too distant future school is a critical piece of our intricate Municipal tapestry for every child in Clifton it's why all of this exists it's why all of you are up here but for the other two-thirds of a child's life outside of the classroom is spent at home that home is in the city of Clifton the great words of the playwright Arthur Miller who has so much wisdom to share with us in uh the play All My Sons a character tells his mother there's a universe of people out there and you're responsible to it I'm not a career politician I'm not looking to climb the ranks to a county seat or the state legislature I'm a Clifton guy through and through I chose Clifton to plant roots buy our home raise my family my being on Counsel is a privilege one I cannot take lightly or for granted and I started asking myself what kind of city do I want s to grow up in to go to school in when s isn't in school should he be afraid his house is going to flood do I want him scared living in a place where home invasions are on the rise do I demand the absolute best from my city and School District in terms of proactive communication so that we know what's happening we know when roads are closed we know when there's an emergency doesn't every family deserve the comfort and dignity of knowing they're able to raise their family in a place that is safe vibrant and proactive if you don't know me you still have time to get to learn what I'm about before November 5th you can reach me at Chris

Mustang God bless you and your families don't ever hesitate to reach out Chris tomato number four on the ballot thank thank you good evening it's nice to be back here at the mic so I've been a teacher for 41 years so I'm also a union leader but I'm concerned and I really want to thank Mark for standing up uh against the high school by I learn because they're a very notorious charter school so the other concern that I have is Project 2025 it proposes significant changes to public education I am extremely concerned project 2025 supports policies to expand school choice options such as private school vouchers and charter school funding this approach will divert funds away from traditional Public Schools like the great School here in Clifton this this will exacerbate resources and disparities here resources may be redirected from public schools which serve as a diverse student population potentially exacerbating inequities in the education system we have already spent $25 million out of our budget for charter schools here in Clifton and if that other high school that we're fighting against 6.3 million that's going to be 10% of our budget who's going to lose our students here it'll also be the end of the Department of Education which will limit the federal government government's influence over local schools and lead to inconsistencies in educational standards across the states project 2025 includes recommendations for revamping curriculum standards by limiting certain topics such as diversity Equity inclusion this could limit discussions around important social issues and somewh it may exclude essential parts of our American history or contemporary issues potential uh politics of education project 2025 outlines policies that increase political influence over education let's remember Betsy DeVos with proposals to reshape curriculum and teaching materials this might shift the focus from student centered learning evidence-based instruction to more ideologically driven content potentially limiting academic free Freedom limitations on the teacher autonomy it includes suggestions for increased oversight on what and how teachers can teach along with potential for stricter regulations on classroom discussions this raises concerns that teachers professional judgment could be compromised hindering their ability to create inclusive and responsive learning environments what's also troubling is that vouchers undermine accountability to parents and taxpayers as you know private and for-profit schools that receive taxpayer funding also um the teachers have no autonomy on how they operate they can pick and choose which students they want which students they'll turn away excuse me these schools don't have to follow academic standards their teachers don't have to be certified they don't have to hire qualified teachers and they don't have to disclose financial decisions to the public protecting public education in the United States is essential to ensure equal access to Quality learning opportunities for all of our students regardless of background or socioeconomic status public schools are a Cornerstone of our democracy cultivating informed engaged citizens who contribute to our society they help bridge economic and social divides by offering a free education that provides Foundation skills and knowledge to all public education also promotes diversity inclusion and Equity preparing students to thrive in a multicultural World finally it empowers communities driving Economic Development and supporting social stability by creating an educated Workforce we need to stand together to not have any more Charter Schools we can't afford it it's going to ruin Clifton Public Schools giving all that money out and it's not fair to the great public education we have in Clifton thank you thank you anyone else wish to speak seeing none motion to close motion second motion by commissioner bassford seconded by

ended at 5:15 those present were myself commissioner Mahia president Paris Mr uh Mr jenero Mr shahada Mr uch you are all present referendum Financial update the administration discussed the remaining funds in the referendum the administration reviewed the status of the remaining funds from the district's referendum these funds which were allocated for various capital Improvement projects the administration discussed potential areas where the funds are used to address due to unforeseen repairs that have emerged since the referendum's initial planning phase a careful review of budget projections and priorities will guide the final decision on how to allocate the remaining funds to ensure that all projects align with long-term strategic goals of the district Mr shahada stated that he is comfortable with the remaining funds for the referendum and he will do his best to ensure the remaining monies are spent wisely as he and his team have done throughout the entirety of the referendum excuse me audit briefing Mr shahada informed the committee of the district's reg regularly scheduled annual audit is set to commence on October 7th he provided an overview of the audit scope which will involve a thorough review of The District's financial statements internal controls and compliance with relevant regulations Mr sh how to express a high level of confidence noting that the district's financial management practices have been consistently strong and he expects the audit to once again yield a near perfect result he anticipates delivering a formal audit report to the board upon its completion which will likely highlight the district's adherence to financial policies and procedures as well as any areas for minor Improvement does anybody have any questions thank you you hey thank you commissioner BR actually Mr President I had so you mentioned you mentioned the remainder of the the funds for the referendum but aren't those aren't those already set to be spent like we already projected what those are going to be those projects no yes and no so the money for each bid package is allocated and a small portion of it was um in allowance so if the bid package was 34 million we'd have two or three million in the event there was unforeseen changes that needed to be done as best as that's you know unseen or something breaks something always breaks uh so right now we're we're close the issue that we reached out to our attorneys just to be on the safe side is if um God forbid we do run out of money what happens uh so we are at asking while the contractor is asking us now for an extension for bid package I believe three because some of their stuff is stuck on a boat somewhere in the sea and the the switch gears still aren't here here the project was slated to be I think it was 24 months uh they're requesting an extension for until the summer of 2025 and they initially wanted $3 million for that extension for for Time and Labor uh we are fighting that and we are trying to knock that down as much as possible so you guys will have some number and I would say by November mid end of November beginning of December after we finish negotiations so that would be in addition to what we already had set apart for the no so uh to my knowledge and that's why I reached out to the attorney I think once the $168 million is done the project stops uh the taxpayers only approved $168 million for this project so we would have to close out the project get all the documents which takes years and then we would have to go back with our own budgeted money and make any additions that were missed in $168 million and I do just want to tell this board that I know it's going to sound extremely ignorant but $168 million when this was passed is not the same $160 million that today the pandemic inflation has completely rocked us everything went up tenfold so that's why we are really um penny pinching with the contractors uring to get that money to stretch is is much as we possibly can so all the original bid packages that we put together when it passed were there any things that we had to forego due to financial reasons uh no so everything that was voted on that you guys initially put out I believe it was the end of 2020 beginning of 2021 is still encompassed in this project but we did think that we were going to have a little bit of extra cushion in the event that something goes wrong um which we still do fortunately you know Al Marion our director of Special Projects has been phenomenal working with the contractors and epic uh to ensure that the money is going as as far as it possibly can but you know things that cost $10 now cost back then cost $50 now so you know where it's getting smacked from all angles yeah thank you anyone else okay uh next uh residency security and Technology commissioner Santiago please thank you president Paris The Residency security and Technology committee the meeting took place on Tuesday October 8th 2024 and began at 5:04 p.m.

any questions commissioner Brak thank you Mr President the the informed of the committee of IM Meo on placement of science Banner or sponsorships or materials has has there been issues lately at at the stadium or or or something of that nature we we just passed in August policy 7510 to describe the the use of of policies that the Ba's office will will be going over this for for any use of facilities or something of that nature is that correct Mr Shada that is correct and we have had a handful of signs go up and as I promised the board we are cutting them down uh I get them I put them in Mr jeno's office and then if the team or whomever wants them they can come pick him up uh from his office at any point uh I I I told the the booster club committee that signs will not go up they're going to stop until we get something in place so there is a proper mechanism in place that my office can review it then I can formally recommend it to the board um Unfortunately they were put up the next day which aggravated me a little bit so we we we took them all down excuse me Mr brunic I think he was confused with the uh 751 years said oh 20 I I don't remember because I've never heard of an issue with the sponsorship or whatever so these these sponsorship that happen at at let's say a football game or whatever if if they're part of the booster club right that they're they're sponsoring something let's say um I don't know Vinnie's Vinnie's Crab Shack or something like that you know so what's the issue what's the issue here the issue is um why why we wholeheartedly respect what the booster club is doing for our students it is still board property and we just want to ensure that the stuff that is being placed on there is in in Good Taste and is in alignment with the district's Vision goals and Mission we don't want something where it's um the local bar is sponsoring our soccer team or football team you know we want to make sure that it's it's tasteful and that it's not going to offend anybody and it's not any political speech or hate speech so that's why I'd like to vet it first to ensure that it is in compliance with um you know what the board wishes would be we so has were there some distasteful like that's what I'm asking for no there were no distasteful signs at this current juncture however the directive given to the booster clubs and the administration was no signs where to go up at all until we can get a formal policy in place we have a policy first reading on the agenda today for that purpose because there was no policy on the books pertaining to sponsorships can I finish my statement thank you um 7510 I believe you mentioned Mr brunak was for use of facilities it did not address signage at all and so um that's why we discussed it in the athletic committee because the boosters are the ones that actually put up the signage that was what we discussed wholeheartedly in the committee meeting specifically political advertisements this policy 7 7510 specifically political the use of fac school facilities is strictly prohibited for the purpose of political advertisements or or all ity correct that that policy spe speaks specifically to if um a local church wants to host an event and then you know they're putting up a presidential candidate sign that is different than the the nature of the policy that is being recommended tonight for the board to review for the first reading number eight no sponsor shall be permitted to assign its user of facilities permit to another individual entity without written permission of the board's without the board's business office so it doesn't Encompass that is that right it's separate has it ever been an issue in anybody's 10 year here Dr Roberto you said it's never an issue until it's an issue I received uh many many of complaints um regarding signage going up and people just not knowing how they got there and I was kind of curious as well so they would go up I would go to the the venue the next day they'd be gone then next night they'd be up and I'd go the next day and they'd be gone uh So eventually we we figured out how they were getting up and how they were been taking down but which is the reason why we think that there should be a policy specifically outlining the procedures for this to ensure that we don't have anything going up that is going to be discriminatory hateful or or causing AR Ruckus and disrupting the educational process that we're you know we're trying to teach kids ultimately here so we just want to make sure everything's kosher yes vice president Dr Dan you like to yeah I I do want to say that there are um you know some districts that I know though that do that be just in the case that you know again they want to approve anything that goes on the property so um I think my district like a few years ago they started I mean we used to be able just to put up posters within the school and advertising things and now everything has to go through a process of actually getting initialed and you know it's just so again the fact that it's not an issue until it is so I can see that just from you know again living in that culture being in that culture so I think it's just trying to be like a proactive stance I I don't know if there's like what specifically is there that maybe you're objecting to that we could look at I just when is enough enough that's my point like at what how much oversight does there need to be if if there was something that was scandalous you know i' I'd like the public to know that and that's precisely why we need this and there was nothing that was scandalous however I am uh I I like to be proactive rather than reactive before something goes up and then we're all in the hot seat I'd rather get ahead of it and be able to determine what is going to be on our property because ultimately if something is placed on the property in poor taste myself Danny Mark and Janina we're on the hot SE we're supposed to know what is taking place in the district on a daily basis so if a sign goes up and it's saying I I can't say it because we're at a public meeting but if it says something that is discriminatory hateful whatever anything that's colorful who who you guys are going to point the finger at the the gentleman who's in charge of facilities right or the superintendent or the Acting Superintendent so before we get to that point in time it's best to just nip it in the butt now and have a proper mechanism in place that can address all of it and I I'm totally confident in this board's generosity and openness that if I present something to you guys that is in good taste that you guys will not fight it right if it's it's for the benefit of the students I don't see you guys objecting to it however I'd like to get your eyes on it before we just start placing stuff on uh if if I may say do you guys remember uh plaque gate a few months ago where it took us six months to pass a plaque so my man over there um where we couldn't even get a plaque p and that was a plaque with just your names on it so imagine if something goes up and it's it's the local bar down the street or it's something outrageous it's going to be be a massive issue I don't want to end up on the Bergen Record I'm pretty sure none of you want to end up on the Bergen Record I try to like to I like to fly under the radar so ultimately the board can do whatever they want to do if you guys want to go with this policy go for it if you don't vote it down either way we're putting our administrative prerogative and recommending this to the board to ensure that all the boxes are checked and there are no issues president Paris so save this for reading we will be going over that sponsor policy so I'll have questions then but there is a little overlap of facility or I just want to separate you know regardless of the policy somebody using our property or putting something up on our property period end of story should have permission you just can't go putting something up and then that's I just want to make that comment separate from the sponsorship policy which I'll have question are yeah we we will have some ability to discuss we have first reading coming up so there any other questions to uh commissioner bassford at this point yes commission here so I agree with both stances on it but again the question goes to show how much oversight are we going to do for this specific sponsorship how come now why now why this specific Banner is there more to it could it just be a dislike towards the specific group that they use that they don't like about I think it's a little bit more deeper than that because I've been attending football games soccer games my entire life at the stadium and there's always been some sort of sponsorship Banner always been and I think people in our booster club committee I would assume everyone uses common sense that they're not going to put something that's going to hurt the general public and they're not going to put something that's going to offend the general public um for the past I like to say eight maybe 10 years since my older sister was playing Varsity Sports at the stadium I've never seen anything that was offensive to somebody I don't know why this policy has been being placed today um I don't think it should be in place only because I'm going to assume that the people putting up these sponsorships these banners know what they're putting up no one's going to put hey this is happening no one's going to say oh well you know to be qu quite Frank in other towns they didn't know what was happening so they put you know certain political groups up and then that caused the whole stir I haven't seen that happen here I doubt it's going to happen here I understand there's you know the need for oversight and all that um but it just becomes too much we we will have we yeah we will have an opportunity to talk just on this topic in in a little bit further down the agenda so um unless you just want to do it now that's a different story I guess but but um commissioner he had to one moment uh the reason the policy exists is is being proposed that there was none and it was being questioned the apist was being questioned um through through Administration and the request really here is to give some guidance this is what our job is right to give guidance via policy to Administration to execute the plan it's not going to prevent anyone in the future from having uh uh probably won't prevent anyone in the future from having their banner up but we will have a process by which we'll be able to that Administration can review we'll have an opportunity to um to approve them we know what's going up in our facilities uh just because we haven't had it before okay we have we haven't had a lot of things before that we put put in policy but there's there's a need for guidance for administration to do that so let's can we postpone this discussion till we get little further in the specifically on this point for the first reading and then um we can get through at least our some more uh committee reports I did have one more saying um as it pertains to spare Weare fundraising and I always like to donate as much as I can to um our student athletes who do ask for you know snap rais and all that it says right here that he explained that the Boe city council and staff would not be notified or emailed about snap raise donations um I'd still like to be emailed about that you know I'd still like to donate a little bit to some of our Athletics teams um I don't know why was it to prevent you know targeting our staff so I don't I don't recall that was Mr malle's request to do that that wasn't didn't come from any board members so I guess um through through you to uh the board president to the administration can you please find out why and bring it back to committee because he just said he didn't want to know us notified maybe he was getting complaints I don't know okay but that doesn't have to do with spirit wear swag right because I like buying Swag like from from the Athletics cre and band and stuff like that those all continue to send out to board Commissioners as they do the entire stuff okay did we do H HSA no please do HSA thank you um the HSA committee met on October 15th

disabilities classes to assist students with learning action informational pilot for project impact certification and stien for job embedded coaching Yanina kusich one activity that students in Project impact participate in is the job embedded coaching where the students spend 2 to three days per week working at various job sites in order to learn marketable skills to allow them to work opportunities to allow them to have work opportunities when they graduate from the program at age 21 these essential workplace visits require power professionals to escort and monitor these students on site to ensure their health and safety this monitoring has added responsibilities since when out of the since when off of District properties the power professionals are responsible for students in their care without a teacher present several of our power professionals have a specific training certification that allows them to be job coaches the district will pilot a stien program to determine the value added from this additional certification action agenda item on this board of education agenda class-size overflow at elementary schools Janina kusevic Miss kusevic shared that the majority of the district's prek to 5 classrooms range from 15 to 22 students with only 10 out of over 260 rooms with over 26 students in the classes approaching 30 children instructional AIDS were added two classes were split two under enrolled classes were combined and two more classes will share an additional teacher since there is no room in the building to accommodate split sections action informational Pope police next steps Yanina kusich Miss kusel levich discussed the next steps as the district continues negotiations with the dicese of Patterson for possible lease of the former Pope Paul high schools site the district is undergoing a democra demographic study to confirm the initial survey results as another data point to help identify the most coste effective and space maximizing option action informational proposed expansion of Charter School school M miss kusich the Clifton zoning board is evaluating property variances for a proposal from I learn Pake Arts and Sciences Charter School to to build a High School site on Hazel Street the zoning board evaluates the land use at the same time the district has instructional and financial impact concerns about this proposal this particular organization I learn has not been transparent with the district over the years unlike a private school a charter is a public and takes per pupil funds from the local District budget without the same RCT oversight that the district must undergo from the New Jersey Department of Education this group has not yet been given the district notice of plans to expand has not yet given the district notice of plans to expand to a high school site has previously been misleading in acquiring lease sites in Clifton and is advertising this as the new Clifton High School this proposed Charter expansion plan for 400 students would be a massive blow at 6,480 th000 or five tax points just as the district finally attained full State funding action informational homework expectations Miss kusich reviewed District homework regulations which align with the national PTA Nea and Harris Cooper study recommendations of 10 minutes per grade level beginning in grade one layering in differentiated instruction depending on student needs and abilities a maximum cap of 120 Minutes at the high school level with expectations for honors and AP courses which require more rigor was discussed staff will be reminded to differentiate homework keep student commitments outside of school with Jobs family and Sports in mind the results from last year's homework study were reviewed again highlighting the recommendation that homework and large scale products projects not be due immediately after holiday breaks or periods action informational school ranking a discussion was held about school rankings in real estate listings on the websites including Niche and world news it was shared that many of these rankings look at only small subsets of the school full school report card posted on the New Jersey Department of Education report card which presents lagging by 2 years so it's old data frequently these ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores or out of context information one such example is college readiness data which looks at percentages of students in dual enrollment and AP instead of total participation numbers which in Clifton's case far exceeds that of many districts areas of focus to increase our academic quality include more robustes applying for more CTE options highlighting our data correcting inaccuracies and publicizing all the good things are important this topic will be addressed in the upcoming strategic planning process action informational meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
do any of the Commissioners have any questions M Canova yeah so you mentioned in uh some of the classes that they had more than 30 kids they were split up does that mean that every class across our district there was only two classes that had 30 the over sorry of the O this was only looking at Elementary School classrooms of the over 260 um classrooms prek through five um only about a dozen had over 26 um the splits we did split um we combined a class at school 8 and split two classes at 8 one was at 30 uh the one was at 29 one was at 30 and then um the kindergarten was split under 30 but it was the largest kindergarten that we had um in the district at the time um and at school number nine we had two classes also under 30 but over 26 um we don't have any space to split them so we'll be we're right now uh seeking through the hiring process an additional teacher to provide additional supports in small groups to those two classes um but there were no classes that were except for the one class at school um eight no classes were over 30 but we were splitting a little earlier than usual because our now our average is now in that 15 to 22 range um and our students just have so many additional needs at this time so now there's no class that has 30 and above and anyone that has 26 to 30 also has an additional Aid is that correct uh in most cases yes but not all cases uh here and there we're still searching for addition you know the the staff members to fill those positions but yes oh so they are on the radar then yes okay thank you anyone else very well seeing none um policy minutes commissioner Suarez thank you president Paris uh let's see the policy meeting uh committee met on October 10th 2024 present uh was myself as chairperson commissioner Mahia commissioner siano and president Alan Paris for administration those were present were Mr jenara Mr shahada Mr rth and Miss Maggie Miller the meeting began at 5:00 p.m.
items of discussion first we proposed new policy on sponsorship and Community Partnerships Mr shahada drafted a proposed policy to address the issue of the placement of various forms of advertisements on school grounds and during school events by private individuals Andor companies the proposed new policy would create a board approval process where request to place advertisements would be sent to the assistant superintendent of business for review and compliance with District standards after which the request would then be sent to the board for consideration due to the increased rise of these incidents the committee will recommend suspending the two reading requirement for a vote during one meeting proposed new bylaw on board member use of social media and public to Quorum the committee discussed the possibility of adopting a bylaw to address board members member use of social media as well as the possibility of dressing board member public decorum two proposed policies were reviewed and discussed one is a policy addressing use of social media prepared by New Jersey school boards the other is a proposed policy prepared by Mr shahada addressing both board member use of social media and board member public decorum the committee discussed both propos proposals in detail after discussion the committee recommends tabling the matter to a later meeting after receiving input and recommendation from the other board members and I I think there's a correction we're doing the first reading correct we're not going to do the double okay yes thank you commissioner as far as um what happened since our policy meeting was I got many many questions and felt that combining them uh felt a bit rushed and doesn't give us as big an opportunity to look at them and have input so I decided to go back traditional method first reading second reading so that we have some more board input in the process and um that's where we're at so we have first reading tonight of this um at this point uh also I wanted to comment on this commissioner um dorum and social media use policy the committee the policy committee um was really struggling with a recommendation so the recommendation was to come back to the full board here we are tonight and offer some opportunity for input to back to the policy committee uh on these two well there's there's two separate um policies that were sent out to you one is uh a decorum and social media policy combined into one which is a a a new new kind of policy um the other is the njsba standard social media policy uh that's enacted by a number of districts already so what I would ask now is for us to to stay focused on this particular discussion which is the policies so we'd like your input how do you want we can go around the horn if you want to do it that way or we do one yeah we could do the the one on decorum and social media commissioner brunak I mean it's very tough to control us we're we're elected officials this is my point Mr President and to my colleagues you know I I think we're already held to the to a higher standard based on based on our position we are elected officials we sign um ethics disclosures every year we we are Absolut the these are all types of underwriting and we could be charged with violations as a result of this so we already have a high standard to set so I don't know at what point who gets to determine you know the use of social media public decorum right I I I think it's expected of us and who who gets to determine what type of what type what type is is is of the Quorum that we should have what makes a determination it sounds so vague to me the items that I've seen and I've never heard this from any other boards either from any of the county committees that we've from any of the county meetings that we've gone to unless commissioner bassford or commissioner Danny who are are you know they they've been here for a long time have seen some sort of policy like that I've never seen anything like this but if you are an elected official and if you're signing off on all these ethics on all these items on on a way to to be held to a higher standard I think it's already expected as of you at it's already expected you're already expected to to hold yourself to a higher standard period end of sentence you know there's a disclaimer that we're supposed to say there's a disclaimer that we're supposed to post if it's on social media I think it's that simplistic I don't think it needs to go I don't think we need to go overboard and have a policy that might not even be enforcable accept at The Ballot Box thank you Mr President thank you commissioner Brak commissioner bassford thank you uh we there was a Lucy this there was a policy that came to this board many years ago and it was voted down I will not support this policy I have a right to My First Amendment right and I feel that that's impeding on the first men write this policy um you you we're all adults we all know how to behave we all know how to act you get mad sometimes you put things out there just because you can doesn't mean you should is a is something that I've learned in 13 years on how to how to do things like that but um we cannot dictate to each other how we behave other than on this realm just before Mr brunc you interrupt me while I was speaking I could have went back at you and really went the old Judy would have went I would have chopped you with the block but I didn't I sat back in my chair I rolled my seat back and I waited for my chance to speak and I'm using this as a I'm not trying to embarrass you in any way I'm using this as an a meaning of an example right we're all adults what we choose to do in our privacy of our homes on social media when we're outside is our own business you can't tell me how to act when I'm when I'm in the realm here we do have we we we're all respectable we all talk to each other we're all adults we thank you no thank you excuse me no no thank you we all do that but to have this policy in place and I I understand the need for it but we have to self-regulate ourselves as adults and have to before you hit the send button should I send it but I'm not going to support this policy I'm sorry I just think that it's um it uh does step on my My First Amendment rights for my voice sorry okay yeah just just to clarify though this is not right now this is not a policy that's as up for us to vote on or we were just discuss this is what the policy committee asked for feedback this is what we want to hear this is fantastic um commissioner Dr Danny you had yeah I just want to say that um I agree with Mr brunak in that you know we are under the ethics and already those are high standards and then I think you know Jud Judy I know definitely but I'm not sure Mr Kenova if you remember I mean during virtual we had some decorum what it was our years was oh was so it's okay well you know decorum in that virtual session there were some things that were debatable and you know in how we were presenting ourselves in the virtual forum and you know what it was just you could not you really could not tell board members what to do I mean that's what they wanted to do and so it was just sort of saying something like to the effect well remember that we are members of the public and we are being viewed and how we present ourselves and then that solved it but otherwise it's it's really difficult you know to tell someone that they can't you know do something wear something or you know do something or it's just really difficult thank you else commissioner M I'm also going to say it goes back to you know opinionate opinion and opinions because when you look at the policy the Quorum someone might for example I'm going to give a quick example I posted a video of me dancing Bachata and I put I love Bachata the next day somebody told me does that mean the Board of Education loves Bachata and then next thing you know I'm getting called saying I'm going to get sued all this and that and I said it's all on perception because if for example someone else would have posted that I doubt that that little you know bickering would have happened in the first place so it does go to show that sometimes it is opinionated um and I and based on the examples that they gave it's been happening it's always happened um in terms of social media that's just real life now social media has been happening for the past 10 years and it's only going to grow grow and grow and to commissioner basford's point I see it as something that's going to not only affect other board members who come in but future board members who are coming in let's say for example one day a YouTuber a blogger someone who's um works in the Press decides to run for Board of Education and then boom now they lose their job because they can't even express their feelings towards something specific in the in the corporation that they work in so all goes down to perception and also goes down to you know times are changing I believe yes there are points where accountability is something you can do but like commissioner um Dr Danny said we already have our ethics that's why we have it that's why we sign it if we were to violate that then yes we would be punished based off that um adding another policy towards this I don't see the added benefits to it some might disagree but in my opinion I don't see any benefits of having it other than suppressing other board members Comm Community leaders and future board members from coming up here and speaking their voices thank you thank you commission yes commissioner why not right we're going around the room anyway yep uh to commissioner brunak point it all comes down to the First Amendment we are held to a higher standard a much higher standard we're elected officials uh we can't say whatever we want on Facebook or Instagram or in public but if you want to you have that right to do that you could be the biggest jerk in the world if that's what you want to be that's your right um in governance we learned all of this this is the first thing you learn as you're elected don't do this use your excla um disclaimer don't speak for the board try to be nice right that's what we learn um if we had to choose one of these two which either one unfortunately after you know really thinking of the First Amendment right I would choose not the one from the Board of Ed I would choose the one that was written for us but I wouldn't choose any of them I would have to say no to this policy because it is you know unfortunately listen I do karaoke that was brought up in policy my karaoke the commissioner I brought up somebody could use it against me right because I Sim some crazy songs in karaoke never once as somebody said do you singing this song represent the Board of Education I think that would be crazy if that ever happened um I always use my disclaimer use your disclaimer be nice to people and if you don't want to be nice to people that's you're right go nuts right so I think it's a good policy it's smart let's keep keeping in our minds I think you worked really hard on it thank you very much but I think it's like DOA commission Kenova I know you had your hand up before him sorry um so so I think it's it's just simple it boils down to two things one is what's prescribed by law and then the other thing is what's prescribed by ethics and if there is some sort of Ethics violation it'll go before an Ethics Committee and they'll make a judgment um and it's your prerogative and your right to to express yourself in your first amendment I think if we did put a policy like this in place that was outside of those two then you may have people outside looking in that says hey in this policy it says XYZ now you have to come after XYZ person because you say here in your policy if you have something that has no teeth what are we doing if we don't have the ability to enforce something and I think we we've talked about this in in one of our U our meetings as well that like you said it's DOA so I don't think we should have any of these policies in place thank you commissioner kova commissioner Suarez thank you and thank you everyone um as the um chairperson of of this committee I brought it up as as a concern um in response to community members so I I just genuinely appreciate this open discussion because I was sincerely conflicted um during our policy meeting and um I I I saw both sides of the argument of having a policy or not having a policy and Andor which policy to implement so I just want to um share my appreciation to my colleagues here because it it I I'm someone who processes information and need some time to do that and and I own that and so I'm appreciating hearing uh the different perspectives uh on what your thoughts are on um about either policy and or um updating the policy for ourselves so I just wanted to be open where um why we're even talking about it you know was something that I I proposed um as the policy chair because this is exactly what we're supposed to do we're supposed to bring our concerns and discuss as group and um share our opinions respectfully which we're doing and I appreciate it so I just wanted to give that um some background information on that thank you commissioner Santiago so I'm sitting here quiet because as soon as I saw this I said it's incredibly vague it's incredibly subjective and I thought I might be the only person saying that so I'm glad that you know I'm echoing everybody's sentiment so the very first one is you know has words like offense and unprofessional and that's very subjective and you know to the eye of the beholder right it's all perception um the other njsb policy is a little bit more specific it talks about like a reasonable person standard and has things like racist sexist right that kind of it's always good to have specifics um but yeah the very first one is is is just way too vague and you know um can just be used can be weaponized can be all kinds of things um the second one I like better but it also says inappropriate conduct what is that right um and I think to the earlier comments is can we even enforce this had we have this policy how can we enforce it can we can we not if we can't I mean it like it kind of defeats the purpose and we have the NJ school board's ethics that we have to be in compliance with um just a quick First Amendment note I'm all for that um but when you do have a policy and you are representing the organization the company whatever you violate that you can be let go right there's a there's a famous example of uh a an employee of a company who uh there was a candidate for federal office that was driving by the person flipped the bird um on their personal time as they were riding by they didn't like that candidate who was driving by that person was terminated from their employer because they represent the company because it violates policy etc etc so just FYI putting that out there sorry that's the HR manager and me thank you thank you commission Sant anyone else would like to make any other comments on this topic okay then I'll give you mine last um some of it's going to be repetitious but um I check I did check with with Maggie and also our njsba rep to see were they aware of any policies like this out there already that existed and they did not know of any um we do have our code of ethics our code of ethics is the enforcable policy so to speak as to our Behavior and the only enforcement Organization for that is the state Ethics Committee and the office of administrative law they're the only ones who can process uh uh allegations of violations and and make decisions on that um we would have no authority to discipline ourselves that's already been adjudicated I believe uh by some other unfortunate board before us um who found out probably spent a lot of money found out they cannot discipline each other um so it's a policy that is unenforcable by us and uh I agree with uh I mean although the inent of it and the things that are stated is that the way we should behave absolutely yes but it's not something I feel that um that we would want a policy on because it kind of misleads you into thinking you have some guidance and then you can't really enforce it which would be frustrating for both uh ends of that problem the accused and the accusers so okay so we can move on all right um adoption of minutes would be next so do I have a mo motion to adopt the minutes from September 19th motion motion by commissioner Suarez and second huh no I saw her I I seconded it okay second commissioner Danny okay uh roll call Mr Shad M bassford yes Mr Brun yes noo yes Mr Mia yes Santiago yes

commissioner Mahia uh discussion this is the part this is the section that includes the first reading on um sponsorship so commission B thank you Mr President so also what I'm looking at this it basically it has to do with facilities this is based on signage and this is based on sponsorships or Partnerships involving business Community organizations or individuals must receive prior approval from the Clifton Board of Education we already have policy in place about our our our facilities that they approve or deny these sponsorships now it's even part on the application so it's never been an issue before right but now you could easily tell because it's even hard to set the bar for these for these parents who who are leading the booster clubs it's a huge it's a huge commitment for them as well I've seen this from from my son playing Clifton Junior Mustangs wrestling so the head of the booster club they have a high bar to set because they're trying to fund raise as well they know well that they could accept a sponsorship from Miguel's tax services but if they they cannot accept a sponsorship from Sam's adult beverages it's that simple so I don't know and I think it's it's already implicit within there these are very high quality High Caliber people that run these booster clubs and just these sponsorships and Community Partnerships I it sounds excessive commissioner Mahia briefly mentioned before use common sense so I don't know how much oversight there needs to be but I have confidence in administration can make a decision very easily based on sponsorship again there H I have never heard of an issue until today's meeting kind of regarding this matter so I don't know how much more time we have to spend on facilities when we have kids who have a hard time reading and writing and doing math how much more time do we have to spend on on these sponsorships are the are they helping out the kids in anyway this is this policy helping out our our students or our staff in any manner can anybody answer for this is the problem I have with this I mean these people are self you know I I I again I have a lot of confidence in our Administration to make a decision right there this is there's a lot of vague terminology in this I don't I I just don't understand and I like administrators to clarify what the issue is how you can't make a determination of what a sponsorship that has an issue with that there's never been an issue before until it's an issue that's such a vague argument in the first place sure thank you so there is no mechanism in place for the administration to approve anything quite frankly um it is a courtesy to for us to get the sponsorship information and then forward it to the board it is Administrative prerogative however it is not an issue until it's an issue but I will repeat this for the rest of the meeting I serve at the pleasure of the board so you guys tell me what you want to do and I'll do it I I couldn't care less about a sign commiss Mahia could the board know which sign it was that caused this big issue I have no knowledge with sign C there was about 15 of them 15 so I I I don't know offand which one um they are probably in Mark jeno's office or I don't know if they got picked up but they are was it something quote unquote out of pocket as in something that shouldn't have been there in the first place it's out of pocket for putting stuff on board property without permission okay commission thank you um so through you to Mr shahada it's your advice as the administration to put this policy in place to protect you to protect the administration and to protect the board is that correct correct okay so I don't see what the problem is it looks like all you're asking to do is look at the signs to make sure they're not out now commissioner Mah I got to jump out at you here you keep referring to one sign one sign where it's been told over and over again it's all the signs that were put up without the permission of the board without the permission of the administration so going forward this being here to protect them to protect us I don't see an issue with that I doubt we're ever going to say no to anybody's sign unless it's vaguely inappropriate which the odds are what a thousand one that somebody's going to try to do that quite honestly guys I don't care about the signs I don't think Mark jeno Janina or Danny care about the signs we serve at the pleasure of the board tell us what you want to do we we can talk until we're blue in the face just just let us know if you guys want us to review them we'll review them if not we won't then you know like it's a very binary decision and I I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful I know you guys care about this place just as much as we do we just need a sense of direction as as to what you want us to do because we feel like we are caught in the middle between people reaching out to us saying they're signs and then other people saying that the signs aren't an issue and they have never been an issue just just give us a sense of direction and I promise you we will never mention this again coming from Administration just to pigy back on that because now we're we're going backwards so I just asked is it the administration's advice to put this policy in place to protect the administration and the board of AD yes the administration recommends this policy thank you Mr President I have a question so if this policy were to be in place at the beginning of the year would any of the signs have C have come down no So based on the content now of the signs that you've s seen none of those would have been taken down no okay commissioner Kenova I I wouldn't answer that question like that uh because I don't want to get into what sign it was but there's probably one that was up that probably wouldn't have been up I'll tell it was Ghost Haw Brewery I love their beer but we probably wouldn't have a brewery sign up right and there was one um I the intention was good uh Maybe I'm Wrong maybe our policy would let Brewery signs go up but no that's one that I would say maybe we wouldn't have approved maybe it's sorry I'm not mean to it's on this policy that we would not have approved it this policy right here this new one yeah mhm yeah I don't know who they sponsored whatever I think it's wonderful that they did um but you know question would be should a school system allow alcoholic beverages to be promoted but if you look at policy 70 I'm sorry it's okay thank you Mr President if you look at I don't want to do it twice in a me talking Mr so policy 77 7510 policy 751 zero it says you you can't you need to list who the sponsorship is so you would know immediately and in in in the example that you use Mr President you already know if so and so if so and so is sponsored we can't do that listen we love you guys you know but we can't do that right kind you're kind of mixing the two policies the one you're referring to is a facility use policy where we're saying when you apply we want to know all the people that are sponsoring let's say I'm sponsoring uh uh trunk Retreat um and there's more than one sponsor maybe it's a an HSA and maybe it's a local Farm Stand I don't know but we want to know who that is that's different than hanging a sign up without there's no application right now to hang the sign up there's no permission process to hang a sign up somebody's just hanging signs up one is sponsoring an event as if if Mark brunak is selling beanie babies at at CA and you know Judy is assisting him with that by by sponsoring it helping secure the funding and the other one is through our local booster clubs or hsas and they are receiving funding for jerseys or cleats or their annual trip or whatever so it's apples and oranges there really isn't an overlay on it so it's two separate things that you're you're conflating I still love you dearly like I said guys the it's the first reading yep vote it down commissioner Santiago were you going to speak no oh did I miss somebody sorry so so um couple of things this policy was brought to us just a comment right the policy was brought to us there apparently was something right because we have had things up for a long time right so the question is always why now I'm just putting that out there right so this came from I think that's a valid question just saying this did come from somewhere right and um just as in the side I get concerned when um you know maybe some person one person I have no idea makes a comment and wonderful that action gets taken but um I think everybody should have that power right it should not be just you know a policy is created because somebody says something I don't know we don't know the background that's fine um um I do think we need guard rails again we we we somebody just can't put something up without us knowing right um and you know to to your point commissioner brenc we we have those policies but this was up we have those policies but these things were up right somebody still put them up with our policy so I do think that there needs to be something in place um but I have questions on that right cuz now it creates it's going to be coming from the administration we have to approve it so it's going to create more work and so be it um but like and maybe I'm getting in the weeds here but so we've got a football stadium track we've got a soccer field lacrosse etc etc um I don't know how that works right now how the money gets divvied is this Banner only up during this Sport and that's my money and then there's a you take that down and when the soccer plays or the lacrosse plays right if you what I'm getting at um you know there's going to be all kinds of process procedures that you're going to have to put in place and decide who gets what and when do they get them so we're not approving the funding we're just approving the sign going up I don't care if to give them a dollar or $50 I don't have to know about that because I'm not going to you know however they're cooking their books that's on them that has nothing to do with me I want no no so so I don't want to know anything about their money so on this policy right for example it says the policy pertains to all aspects of thect including Athletics those are the teams clubs I assume that's like robotics Key Club a right and any school related activities it goes without saying but does this include booster and HSA if so and we were going to do this I'd like it to Clearly say that you and I had that conversation earlier I don't want somebody to circumvent that we were going to add that in there because they or an extension of the school with minimal to no oversight from Administration or the board but they are still using our property so it's playing in that gray area that you know we we just want to ensure that whatever is going on board property even though it's through a third party is tasteful right um and and I think like you know would there need to be a list of locations like what we have to have here this is where you can put advertising right if I want to put on the side of school 11 the build the wall the building a big gigantic Banner of course that gets approved by you and and and us but you know we always think about school um athletic uh Fields right that's the common place um would it be only specific to that or could this open up something where people are going to be asking to be putting things and in regards to that I think this policy in place does address that I don't think we need a list because if I see it I know that okay we can't have a sign on the side of school 37 but if the principal sees it you know I don't want to put them in that hot seat I don't want the principal having to make that decision if they put something on their Building without informing administration because they have right now no guidance on whether or not to you know do they have the Liberty to do that so then the principal in the hoty I'd rather myself my team and you guys be the on to make that decision so to remove the burden from them yeah so like I can see like hey AV club I want to sponsor you can I put an advertisement on the camera so that when people come see here they see my advertisement I mean would that be something that could now be suggest you know what I mean you know as I told you earlier everything's negotiable right so we can right you know you do whatever you want but the administration and the board are going to have to approve it yeah so you can put in any request for you know the the coach pest track that was a request right we brought it to the board we vetted it out we went through the whole committee process and you know now we you know the board passed it so it's it's the same concept so my last comment is I think in in the gym I don't think we have like just CHS we don't have banners or these these kind of advertising banners in the gym I don't think we have these things right so I think gymnastics is in there basketball's in there volleyball is in there wrestling is in there so now I want to support these groups and I want to put a banner in there just a banner or this is equipment this anything um I think again I still think we do need guard guard rails because it can't just be up to a booster club to decide who gets what where and just put stuff up absolutely not um but then I'm just saying that it's going to create this process that have to and as I told you earlier when we spoke uh this afternoon this process is more labor intensive when we have no control over it and I'm Fielding 50 different phone calls now that it's streamlined it's coming right to me I will know that the the quidd booster club is asking me permission to put a sign somewhere so now I know that sign X is you know correlates to whatever Club it is now signs are just up everywhere I have no idea what belongs to who I don't know who to call to take it down so we just you know we just take them down ourselves so that backend work that I have to do with no knowledge is more labor intensive for me than just Fielding the email and saying okay this is a you know it's not a sketchy idea let me just pass it on to the board so this policy alleviates a lot of headache and stress for me and it's it's it's a very binary process yes it's a good idea no it's a bad idea there's no judgment I'm not putting any of my personal biases in it if it's something that's going to benefit the kids and it's respectful and tasteful sure I'm all for it but if it's something that's not I'm obviously going to deny before it even gets to you guys rather than it go up I receive 56 phone calls on a Sunday morning and I have to Chuck it up to Clifton and cut a sign down so last sorry president Paris mentioned the brewery so what I do like about this is that no political agendas candidates products or services not appropriate for students so like a vape shop or liquor store or whatever they can't do because they're underage all that I do like that it clearly states that stuff and and you know the policy the way it was designed it gives administrative the administration room to breathe you know when we draft policies we like it to not be so narrow we like it so there is room to play so we can have those judgment calls so things that aren't listed on there but are still in poor taste we can deny it's not just set to this specific list so you know it'll allow us you know we we're going to pow around the whole thing regardless but at least we have something that we can point to and say okay this is not a good idea you know it's against a policy rather than you guys get phone calls or you see it on Facebook because you know that's where everybody gets their news from nowadays and it's a problem and Jo siano is agreeing with me nodding his head you're a good man all right so at yes commissioner B okay so policy is like the Constitution it's amendable we put it out we put it in it doesn't work we revise it that's the beauty of what the mechanism is the thing I see is have other districts out there Maggie so do you uh board president to our attorney do other districts have sponsorship sign uh policies so not that I'm aware of in this kind of capacity usually the like I want to name the scoreboard that's usually a money that goes to the district and not a booster club and there's approval processes for that so I've seen it in that regard permanent signs along like the baseball field like you see on TV you know all across those are usually the money goes to to the board so yes there are policies I've never seen it sounds like a take up the sign put it down for per event or per season I've never seen it done that way so not not in this regard no I've not seen a policy that way as a general naming thing yes I have so my my question is the reason that a policy would be like putting places to just regulate the content correct and it as Mr brunak said this isn't something that I want to do trust me I have more than enough on my plate than to to go around checking signs but it it gives us a some guidance as to what we can and cannot do okay and I I think that's extremely important nowadays especially just given the political climate and just how crazy people are okay you know people just put up some crazy stuff sometimes it's like well well it's all so because it's everybody's like Mr Mahia said opinion right what I feel is acceptable at my age and seeing like you know like people go to different venues they go to different businesses what I would think was acceptable maybe somebody else would think it's not so as you you would you would look at it review it and say okay this is acceptable this goes together with the mission statement of the Clifton Board of Education because that's basically where we're going it's about the mission statement of our board correct and to take it one step further I do have I think I'm a semi-rational human being um it's a matter of opinion it's not a favorable one but um you know I can make these decisions on my own own but I am not a Clifton resident I am not an extension of the taxpayer I am not ingrained in the community like you guys so I would love to bring it forward to you guys so you guys can make that decision you guys represent the community well the one good thing out of this now people are going to know that our booster clubs do take sponsorship so maybe it'll produce more sales in that way and we'll get some more business for the booster PL right so you're not controlling the money you're just controlling content when they're put up when they're taken down and what locations they're going in that they're not going to be blasted all over the place when when we have one overlap SE uh athletic season to another only anything on board property if they go to I know the soccer team I'm just going to pick on them because I know they go to like their annual Tom's river trip if they want to roll up to Tom's River with some A-frames and post them in the ground I got no say on that that's Tom's River's problem it out it's what happens here on our ground so we're Protect by this policy you feel confident enough with your recommendation that by putting this policy in place we're protecting the board for Li absolutely thank you one last thing this is you actually brought you actually brought this to my attention with the ghost talk I saw that so many times also a fan I saw that so many times and it just clicked when you said it that maybe that wasn't the most appropriate thing to uh commissioner Santiago vape shops liquor stores anything like that that's popping up God forbid but then you think about a lawyer right like a really good marketing hey was your kid injured on this school field call me and I'll take care of it that would be vot voted down like you got to think of really smart marketing and this just kind of covers everybody I and I like the way it's written I don't really think there's anything written in here that Joe you know I wrote that right what was it you know I wrote that right yeah I was actually quoting a shahada law um so it's you that I'm worried about with the banner I'll put the proceeds with you man Mr shahad and I spent countless hours over the last two weeks dealing with sign gate if you will and really this policy does it gives us the the teeth to enforce appropriateness or not it wasn't until the removal of signs that did we learn who they belong to and as all these booster clubs are reaching out you know with Choice words and rightfully so because how it was handled again if we could go back and do it differently we absolutely would but at the point that we took one down we recognized the need to remove all others it wasn't until booster club a b and c reached out where's my ghost Haw sign where's my Hot Bagel sign where's my you know said the from sign it wasn't until them that we learned we had apologize profusely to them uh but what we did for one we had to do for all this just allows us to monitor develop a mechanism to ensure consistency and again as we're continue to to collaborate and expand upon our hsas and our booster clubs will will have a mechanism in place because one common theme did come across these conversations we had no idea what we can and cannot do this now allows for us that transparency and allows us to then you know enforce this uh in accordance to policy and what's best for the district and and Mr Santiago just one thing that I didn't mention earlier I had four of the nine of you I'm not going to point out which ones reach out to me regarding these signs so it wasn't just one person and as I said I serve at the pledge of the board you guys want the signs down I'm going call My People we're going to cut them down thank you okay uh could I just suggest now so this his first reading so all all we're doing right now is approving it it's not finalized yet so between now and next reading send in please review that policy send in your suggestions to commissioner swarz who's our policy chair next time policy meets uh we can do some final adjustments on it for your consideration then and we can before our second uh reading right which should be our final version of it so I mean first reading it's it's meant to get your edits and your ideas and changes so so right now you're voting just to move it on move that process on and um we policy will will then take your your input and word Smith a a better better policy maybe than we have already okay yes commissioner to um Mr siano's point when there's people making signs for example oh you got injured on this field I I doubt any reasonable attorney would actually make that marketing sign um and I doubt any attorney has that great of a marketing team to put something out on it um there there are a lot who are good but not not a lot of them will be that creative in terms of it at this point but I do want to say that what if there was a I know this has happened in New Jersey because I seen it happen last year there was I think it was a mayor who was also a lawyer he had his law firm and somebody actually wanted to sponsor a city event and he voted it down he went to the council chamber says nope no way this isn't happening I would feel more comfortable in terms of the the administration having the the main objections as to whether this gets approved or not only because I don't want something like sponsorships Community Partnerships to be politicized I just got one thing to say Administration does not want that burden we do not want to be the the sole determiner as to what goes and what go doesn't because they may be your third cousin if I shoot them down my contract won't get renewed next year so I'd rather you nine make the decision you guys are elected officials you guys are here to make the tough decisions we gather the information compile it and toss it to you guys I mean at this point if if you don't believe this policy should exist or go on you can you can when you vote you can say I'm a no on item seven okay you say yes on no on item seven uh that'll if we get a majority that kills it then it's done but otherwise we go you have a second shot at it right when we have our second reading I I have just one thing to say because I know the community this is your next meeting will be your chance to weigh in on this policy you can come to the mic you have five minutes to talk about that's why we that's why we should have two readings on policy because we should be able to give our our um community members the chance on when we introduce a policy now U Mr uh Santi commissioner Santiago introduced he wanted some verbiage in there hsap PTA booster clubs in there that's your chance to get it for the second in but also for the community weigh in so I'm a firm believer of two readings I've always been that way since I've been on uh the board good point okay so so we're gonna the only question I have is so when you get the signs what are you going to do like email them to all of us and with PDFs like what's what's the goal there the signs will I will inform you guys of what it is it'll be on a board agenda for approval just like we do uh facility permits thank you right okay can we call the question please Mr Shad uh there was a motion by Miss bassford a second by Mr Mahia roll call please no problem Miss bassford this is on the group yes yes Mr brunak yes accept ea7 no on ea7 Mr Kenova uh yes except the the piece that uh Mr Mia brought up about um the board being the approval I think that should go back to just like facilities so you're you're a no on ea7 as it reads yes and for clarification the board does approve facil okay edits but I'm I'm a no right now as as it is Mr M based off that can I make a motion to remove us as the final readers the Board of Education and put it to our booster club aison so so it's already going to policy so that would be the I think that Mr Paris spoke about sending suggested so it's first reading so you're approving the policy on first reading sending edits to the um policy chair for the committee to revise and consider those brought to it so that would be the time to do that so just approving it on first reading as it's for that yes everything except for S ea uh sponsorship Community Partnerships no Miss Santiago yes with uh further edits at uh policy Mr siano yes to the group Miss Suarez yes to the group vice president Danny yes president Paris yes all motions carry okay next is uh personnel and I'm looking for a motion to approve items one through 42 by commissioner

think you would expect it any other way thank you good night thank you commissioner Santiago um I like to start by giving my condolences to everyone who was one part of the one clipon Community um who has passed away and is currently suffering um next I quickly want to talk a little bit about um Miss Lucas um specifically over the past couple weeks I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of you know my former coaches former teachers and I I always refer to them still you know as miss you know Miss Mia Miss Richie all that um coach uh even Mr jeno I still refer to him as Mr jeno out of respect you know he was one of my um middle school vice principles and for me that stays with me for the longest you know even when you start working professionally they start telling you hey call me Mark um it just doesn't feel comfortable you know and I look back to that um when speaking about Miss Lucas um when I saw her a couple weeks ago she told told me you know hey refer to me as my first name you know we're we're around the same age now we're both professionals you don't have to keep calling me miss Lucas or principal Lucas and you know the first thing I thought to myself is um how I was raised I was always raised to treat everyone with respect and if you didn't you were called Maro which means you weren't raised right um and for me it was always you know shaking hands um and being respectful to them and she was my elementary school music teacher she was the music teacher for my older sister she was the music teacher for my younger sister and then she was her principal as well over at school 12 and I vividly remember every Friday we would stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and she would come up play the piano and we would all sing a song and one of my favorite songs was this land is your land this land is my land and I remember it singing it proudly and loud and then right after that we would sing our school 12 Anthem which she wrote and when I heard the news that she passed away I had to step out of my office because I got so emotional I could probably count on the on one hand how many times I've actually cried in my life and most of them have been this year I've lost so many people who have contributed positively to my life and to hear that when miss Lucas passed actually broke me I stepped out of my office took a walk across campus went to our ministry and sat there for about 25 minutes just reflecting on everything and I was able to talk to one of the priests and they told me this quotee that truly resonated with me especially because she was a music teacher and I said to myself wow that must be some sort of sign the song has ended but the meel but the melody lingers on and I reflected on this because I said you know after something special has ended it impacts the memories and it continues to resonate with you throughout your entire life it goes to show that she will continue to influence not only our feelings our thoughts but many of our day-to-day activities as the song ends and as you keep that melody in your head of those memories those fun times you had when I posted about it that this happened all my friends from school 12 could not believe it I couldn't believe it when I first heard it um my condolences go out to her family and to with that on a happy note I want to say thank you to Mr Jero for stepping up to the plate it was a pleasure working with you I never sent you a complaint I tried not to um but thank you for stepping up to the pl and Danny's absence um and that's all thank you thank you thank you so this has been a tough week for Clifton um you know my heart goes out to to anyone who's who's lost anyone and this you know this time is just crazy friends and families that are no longer with us um Miss Lucas was a tough loss for Clifton um you know she was a wonderful person that just really truly cared about kids she cared about her staff she cared about the people that were around her and she was loved back um you know in my conversations with her I found out she lived 90 minutes of way south of here and drove all the way up into work I mean that's that's without traffic you know um that's someone who was very dedicated to to her job and um she touched many lives I know we shared some stories about um she was closer to where I have my my house down the shore we just exchange um T bits of information on like restaurants and things in the area to do things like that um she was a wonderful woman and you can see by by the outpouring of of you know support how how wonderful she really was um so she will be someone who is sely missed and may she rest in peace um Mr Jenaro I wanted to thank you for stepping in and overseeing the district while Dr Robert toy was out as you mentioned it's a roller coaster ride but I appreciate the dedication to our community uh for Mr llama charter schools in my opinion they should have their own budget it's always a conflict with the local budgets um their assumption is that the Money Follows a child but in the real world you have facility bills for every building you have if you pull one child out of one class you still have the other you know 20 or so to teach you're still paying the same amount to the the instruction you're still paying the same amount for for maybe not for a Chromebook but everything else is the same so it doesn't make sense um I think that we need to Circle back there and figure out what the real solution is because it's always going to be infighting when things like that occur I think it's just the wrong solution so we need to figure out how how to make that right um trunker treats October 24th at school 3 uh October 28th at CCMS so please come out and support your local H hsas um reach out to

n [Music] n [Music] welcome in ladies and gentlemen kchs Columbia Eagle football conference Championship on the line spoiling an undefeated season a great program in Breeze a great night for high school football Friday Night Lights nothing else you can ask for right now it's going to be a good night and last time we were here it was a great night for the Eagles 28-27 Victory three big plays they did it for us let's hope tonight the Eagles can do the same so vagle is going to be the quarterback in the backfield Cameron Janik is his running back Dalton rainwater is closest to us we're going from left to right right now janik's going to take the hand off nope it's going to be a keep by the quarterback he's going to go up the middle he's got the 40 yd line he's into the 30 to the 20 One play for the Columbia Eagles and they got themselves six points on the scoreboard going to fake the Jet Sweep going to be kept by vagley he's got 10 yards he makes a cut up field he's to the 40 to the 50 cougar territory 40 30 20 slowing down to the 10 five Endzone touchdown Columbia Eagles di vaguely for 83 yards into the end zone I don't even know what to say on that one going for two doubles to the right side sniffer back right running back boy Jared it was fun 28-27 first play of the game touchdown second play of the game touchdown go for two to try to win it stop them I can still picture Lan coming across the middle Eagles left two years ago Victorious let's hope for the same tonight yeah that was probably one of our favorite games that we've ever announced just looking back two years ago um and they were pretty much favored in that game I think um they were having a very good season um but anytime you're coming to Central it's always going to be a good game whether it's at Central or at home um and that's pretty much in any sport you look around at volleyball baseball um it's always it's always a clash between these two so tonight will be pretty fun it is fun we'll be talking a little bit more about the conference and how it's all played out in years past it's always been this rivalry coming down to this tonight's broadcast brought to you by the Columbia quarterback Club as always thank you to the quarterback club for making it happen and the quarterback club tonight provided the meal with everybody tonight so uh we cook some pork steak sandwiches some mac and cheese started around noon today had the food down to the boys at uh about 4:00 they got on the bus and left so quarterback Club did that Matt vagley and cold Dreer huge thank you to helping making that happened and it was a good time today and had some good eats did you get I had a w you had a Wally Burger yeah I should have even asked I knew that pickles man you know me double cheese with Pickles all right go do you have a ski oh yeah Cher Cherry ski oh Cherry ski cherryi mix it up a little got to go to Dairy King and get the real real fruit skis or whatever Kendall gets it every time gets the real strawberries put in there jar let's talk a little bit last week Eagles Victorious puts them at five wins makes them an at large bid for the playoffs and that put the win 38 to8 over the Salem Wildcats yeah it was a little slow start had a couple fumbles I think Jay fumbled in that on that first drive uh so we were kind of worried about that but our defense did its job pretty much all night got our guys out in open space ran a lot of bubble routes and um on the ground I mean you couldn't stop us I think we had two guys over 200 or 120 yards so um anytime you're got two running backs doing that I mean you're probably looking pretty good unfortunately Salem did not post any of their stats but um don't know what went on with them so Colombia though like you said Jared Jason nellson laid the way 20 rushes 173 yards eight yards a carry Logan Hicks for nine 130 14 yards per carry and then Mason comes in as well six for 44 seven yards per carry passing the ball or Mason had another good night 10 for 13 109 yards passing so uh you like the way the Eagles offense is rolling right now coming in three- game winning streak so let's hopefully tonight offense keeps things moving yeah and our defense is definitely going to have to be ready tonight uh they're scoring around 42 points a game Brie Central is so um anytime that you see anybody scoring even over 30 nowadays uh you know your defense has to be ready so um defense been playing good the last couple weeks I think we got three wins in a row now so hoping to get four tonight defensively for the Eagles last week I think the tone was set first play of the game Hudson Bryant on what was supposed to be a Jet Sweep loss of three he was there right away Keegan there on that top picture you can see uh I think that really sealed the edge all night and it like I said it set the tone yeah and I think putting Hudson Bryant up on that edge on the D line has made a huge difference for the defense um he's getting in the back field almost every single play sniffing out all the counters getting to the quarterback so uh it's nice to have a little bit of speed up front um I think Lincoln Corbin's out tonight with one of the big guys in the middle so somebody's going to have to step up but overall I think our linebackers have been playing a lot better than they were the first few weeks uh but Corners tonight are I'm not scared for it but they're going to have to just be ready for uh a lot of good wide receivers on the central side and you talk about the defensive backs for the Eagles there bottom left picture Mason vagley two interceptions last week and uh just I mean he was where he needed to be multiple times made the tackles made the plays Cooper white and Hudson Bryant led the wave with tackles Hudson actually had seven he had 10 total tackles led the way with seven tackles Hicks with 10 total tackles and Cooper with nine so um like you said those linebackers always doing what they're supposed to do and defensive backs were able to come through as well for us and um in a game that you needed to win I think we we went in we knew that we were probably favored in the game so it was a good way to get in 38 to8 Victory did what you had to do coming into tonight yeah that's a kind of not a setup game but it's a kind of a get ready game because you know you know you got Central in week eight every year so um and it's usually coming down to the wire who's going to get in the playoffs who's not but uh we're playing against number one state here number one team in the state here tonight so kids definitely better be ready number one team in the State brieze Central coming in I believe they have 121 total V votes nine of them were for first place so they're leading the way when it looks into that they are on their senior night tonight um honoring I didn't see how many there's a whole slew of senior football players out there at the 50 yard line right now and uh we'll get to do that next week so hopefully tonight you all you always like to play spoilers so if you can spoil an undefeated season spoil the number one team in the state spoil a senior night even spoil first round playoff game at home I mean some some teams go eight and one and aren't aren't lucky enough to get a home home uh playoff game in the first round so um I mean anytime anytime that you're here at Central I mean it's going to be a fun one they do it right here it's a lot of fun new video board off to the right um you look at all the stuff that they have going around everywhere on the field they do it right here and it's a good time to be here and uh it's going to be a good week for football we're going to run to a commercial break when we come back we'll talk about the playoffs we'll talk about tonight's opponent we'll get ready for this week eight matchup right here on kchs [Music] n [Music] n [Music] you [Music] welcome back to kchs kokia Conference standings Bree Central leading the way 4-0 Roxana 3 and one Columbia 3- one Roxana is above us because they beat us head-to-head freeberg 1 and three Salem 1 and three and Wood River 0 and4 that sets up a conference Championship here tonight Jared yeah and I believe roxan is at East Alman River this week uh should not an easy win but they should be projected in that one so this could come down to a three-way tie if the Eagles can win tonight um so that's what we're hoping for be K conference uh co-champions I guess it'd be a try Tri Champion it' be a try Championship so it also tonight would talk about being the conference representative whenever it comes to the state tournament and playoffs what it means to be a conference representative I'm not really sure as long as you get six wins I really don't care if I'm there for the conference or not but six wins is the magic number you got to get two um let me see Howie talked about it somewhere on this sheet about it being um how they figure it all up to be basically what it is um so the ties are broken down when it's a tri Conference Championship it goes the next tiebreaker is broken by the fewest points allowed in a game involving the three teams looking at that breeze allowed six points to roxan so you'll add whatever our score is tonight Columbia we gave up up 14 points to roxan obviously we would add centrals and roxanna's giving up 42 so as long as we don't give up a bunch of points and a quick math as long as we don't give up 28 we'll be in a good spot and uh like I said I don't care if we're the conference rep or not I just want to have a conference Championship hopefully yeah I agree and like you said 28 points I mean and then you look at all the points that Central has been scoring this year uh I think it was around 40 points like I said earlier and we're only at I think 27 or 28 points a Gam so I mean we're coming in here as underdogs 14-point underdogs plus you're on the road so you never really know what what to expect though so I just hope these guys are are ready for tonight you looky there playoff pairing day Saturday October 26th more details will come out on the 21st um the way that breaks down six wins get you in or I'm sorry five wins will get you eligible yep you need some help whenever you get it with playoff points so uh playoff points are your opponent's victories so um every team that we've played we get their points tiebreakers then turn into the points um of the teams that you've beat so that all breaks down farther than we need to explain I was going to try to explain it there's three pages here of how they determine who plays where when how I mean it is unreal there's eight tie Breakers in this one criteria there's another five there I mean it breaks it down pretty intense so we know that we will be for a going through it over there all the creepers we uh we know yeah I got a I got a whole stack over here we know know that we're going to be 4 a we can say that for sure first pairing that we saw we won't be traveling far we just have to go to kia okay you do it all right I'd go there yeah no problem I'll go there coia came here last year and Central beat him 13-2 so uh that game let's talk a little bit more about conference real quick we've talked about uh how it's been Colombian Breeze a lot of times and I read an article this week about Coach short who we'll talk about is Breeze's head coach um it's been dominated Columban Bree in the 21 or the 20 plus years that coach Horner has been here I looked up um the stats there Columbia has had nine conference championships that I believe might have all gone undefeated I don't know if we have a five- one really in there um I think we've pretty much gone nine and0 on all of them a two-way two two-way ties and one three-way tie Bree Central has four with three two-way ties and one three-way tie that was a little complicated to say freeberg has had had two championships three two-ways and one oneway Roxana has one which was last year wesland had one which they're not even in our division no more as well and red bud had a two-way tie so uh um it's been a good time it's been a good good little run Eagles are trying to keep it going and I don't know if you remember but uh 2012 to 2016 31 wins in a row in the conference yeah I was uh I think I was part of the game that we lost I wasn't going to bring it up but home against Westland I believe it was week it was the second week of the playoffs yeah I think we had three of our starters go to Colton bird blew out his knee that game I think one of the Napier boys got hurt that game as well so um we were kind of banged up my senior year but we won't talk about that yeah I mean Eagles have done good in the conference and they're hoping to uh keep it up here been doing good talk a lot about Breeze Central I hate playing them because they're a good team and I hate coaching against them they because they do it um they do it right they're good and it's always going to be a dog fight but uh you come and you talk about uh coach short and um they do it the way they're supposed to let's talk about our top scores though on offense real quick before we jump into more of breed Central stuff leading the way Logan Hicks after him you have Jay Nelson Keegan Thompson and Mason vagley they're the top four scorers for us defensive side of the ball you go to the top tacklers that we have this year and with that I believe it's going to be soon as Josh finds the right slide that he wants to put up there there we go now we got Hudson Bryant leaving the way with Mason Coupe and Keegan Thompson so Keegan little side note we have little in uh sickness this week so it's good to see him back and uh hopefully he plays well enough and he feels well enough for a big game here tonight yeah definitely going to have to be ready like I said earlier uh I'm glad I'm just glad everybody's somewhat healthy our offense is pretty healthy all around skill guys look good the last couple weeks I hope coach orner throws a couple bubble routes and just let let those guys go and and run right under 13 minutes to go until the kickoff here let's talk a little bit about the Cougars of Bree Central like we mentioned number one team in the state of Illinois at 4A they moved up last week with their win over roxan this is the first time in school history they've ever gone 7 and0 and they have at least a share of the conference uh Championship so if they win tonight they'll be outright and uh if we win we'll force a three-way tie talk a little bit about Coach short though it's a 17th year no other coach at Breeze Central has had over 40 wins coach short 17 years 103 wins 64 losses for 61% uh win percentage and he's gone to the playoffs 11 times so that'll be 12 this year he's already had 110 wins now if you include this year so uh pretty neat and I know coaches staff likes him they talk a lot about him much respect yeah ton of respect and you know you look at a lot of things Central does it's what Columbia did in the past as well oh yeah I mean those coach short and Coach Herer and Coach Germain those two or those three probably talk every every Friday night after games uh even on Saturdays calling each other seeing uh uh what the other team runs who may who they may play later in the season um so it's it's nice to see these coaches have kind of a camaraderie with each other even though um well last couple years we've been top two teams in the in the conference so um it's it's fun can you talk about the winning ways that breeze has been up to lately um coach short he knows how to win too you go back to whenever he was in high school days is a Junior and senior read an article this week Junior and senior he was 19 and three 17 shutouts in those 19 victories uh as a junior they went 10 and0 to start had nine shutouts they gave up one touchdown in one game go to the second round of the playoffs it was against Greenfield lost the game upset and gave up 20 points they had never done that all year then a senior year they go nine- one lost to Green Field again and uh of the nine wins eight shutouts again so coach short he knows how to win yeah and he knows I think he's their defensive coordinator as well so um you know him and Coach Horner are always on opposite sides of each other so that's always it's always fun they're always coming up with new ideas new new things especially in week eight um this is kind of where you pull some tricks out of out of your pocket cuz it's week eight everybody's kind of seen everything so you throw in some stuff this week um that we might that we might see tonight offensively the Cougars they know how to move the football last week 303 yards passing that's the uh the most that they had all year and then go down to rushing 212 against Wood River so they're going to put put some guys out on the field that are going to make some plays last week they had the most yards of the SE of the Season 460 and then they had 440 in the milk bowl verse Moder day back in week two uh putting up 42 points a game giving up only nine so uh Eagles got their hands full and like we said they're an underdog coming into it yeah and I if I am not I don't know if I'm wrong on this but I think all those seniors that we just saw out here obviously two years ago they were sophomores and I think a lot of those starters were sophomores as well so probably left them with a bitter taste in their mouth when Columbia won this game two years ago um on their home field but overall I just I just hope we have a good game tonight under 10 minutes to go now getting ready for a kickoff uh talk a little bit more about this offense averaging 164 yards a game rushing 24 yards per game passing 378 yards average per game some guys that we need to watch Jared you texted me who they were who do you have I think it was Kaden rockers as the running back uh he was their starting running back as a sophomore so he's got a lot of snaps snaps back there I'm not sure what his yardage looks like this year looks like 49 carries for 358 yards and 10 touchdowns I think he also catches a little bit out of the back field sometimes six catches 94 yards two touchdowns so um linebackers and Corners I think are going to have their toughest game of the night or of the year look at their offensive production on the quarterback side got to give the quarterback some love Preston Baker senior 62 for 90 uh 68% completion 1100 yard 18 touchdowns you need to take care of the football zero interceptions that's huge in a game like tonight that's going to be the difference I think yeah and even in a game like last week where we had those two fumbles uh if you're playing a team like Central they might go down and score um off those off those turnovers so that's definitely going to be a big thing for Coach Warner offense tonight take care of the ball they're playing a little highlight film out here you're locked I'm locked in this is they got pyrot Technics they got smoke they got everything going on and we got something cool going on too we got hoe on our side of things you heard it from Howie here Howie comes in tonight giving us some information and Howe 620 students for um the cougar so pretty evenly matched whenever it comes to that Columbia has 618 coach Warner 15-9 verse the Cougars and uh how he's always getting stuff to us he's getting it to us in a timely manner we're able to pull it up right away there it comes back again Eagles are playoff eligible tonight's game like we said conference representative series started back in 1975 not sure why they didn't play in 76 I just heard it from hoe Eagles currently have a seven game win streak against the uh the Cougars here and you're going to look at that and say schlim that's only six years 2018 I believe it was maybe no 15 maybe I can't remember the year we won 27 28 27 then we played him in the postseason won 2120 I think that might have been one of our first Year's calling so it might have been 17 or 18 I can't remember anymore I can't either too many games seven games on the win streak back in that time frame so uh thanks Howie for getting it all that information Eagles have two shouts this year as does Breeze Central Jared Eagle football time six minutes away Eagle football time coming up Eagles making their way out on the field now as you see them come running out Eagles coming out all white with the pink socks breast cancer awareness we're need to figure out the 47 yd line here is painted pink so we're going to have to find out both of them are why it's painted pink it's only on this side I don't think any other they got some breast cancer ribbons down in the end zone as well we are getting get ready now for the national anthem like I said Eagles coming out all white white pants white top white hat the Cougars we're going to call it an anthros site smoky gray pant okay purple tops and their helmets I believe are purple or black I don't know I can't really tell coaches have a little light purple on pretty sharp look we're going to get ready for the national anthem 5:30 until kickoff we'll bring you the national Anthem and kickoff right after this you are listening to Columbia Eagle football live right here on kchs this broadcast is proudly brought to you

Conference Championship on the line it's going to be a good one just got a text watching from Buffalo New York coach Kendall's father watching I didn't see anything about a coin toss did you I didn't even wasn't even paying attention we never get it Central coming out strong lineup over here they got numerous people on their sideline they got little guys running around looks like the JV team might even be out there coaching staff is a mile long as well yeah if you look at their side on the on the roster sheet there's about 400 people goodness gracious look at all the assistant coaches on there I mean there's let's see one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 plus three student assistants wow how many we got one two three four six we got six seven coaches I guess got throw coach Horner in there going over the starting lineups here tonight Eagles are pretty much going to be all the same ones like M or uh I just said Mason I heard his name like Jared said earlier Corbin's out I don't know who the new lineman would be for Corbin boy it's hard to talk and and be able to hear what's going on we're going to I'm going to be stumbling and mumbling through a bunch of stuff be all right thanks once again to the Columbia quarterback club for making this happen and bringing the food to the boys tonight hopefully those pork steaks and mac and cheese is what they needed they had a cookie that was supposed to go with it I forgot it in my truck so they got cookies for post game Alex yeah a little forgetful sometimes hey no Mountain Dew guy huh no Mountain Dew guy so for the new listeners here Jared and I have been in this same Press Box same seat couple years ago it was probably six or eight years ago I guess now we're sitting here a penalty was called and our Mountain Dew friend was sitting in front of us he turned around I had the window open he turned around started yelling at us and kind of ignored him a little bit and then there was an injury and he turned around and he started yelling at us again so we just kindly shut the window I don't think it was kyin you kind of slammed it a little bit it was kindly we just kindly shut the window we come back two years later same dude sitting in the same spot again so we didn't open the window that night and we're uh we got it closed right now we'll see what happens if we open it or not here within the next 40 seconds whenever kickoff begins Jared your three keys tonight what do you got um I think you just got to come man you got to you got to play your tail off I know some of these seniors have been playing since they were in kindergarten first grade so um to have your and this could be one of your the biggest games of your career I mean uh taking on a seven and0 number one te team in the state um if you can pull off an upset here that would probably be uh you'll be talking about that to your friends 30 40 years from now U my number two is probably um defense has to be ready I think our corners and safeties is one of the biggest wha ifs tonight um cuz they throw the ball a lot I think they average over 220 yards through the air like you said earlier so um going to be have to be ready for double moves and whatnot um and just getting getting to the football and rallying and my number three would be straight to coach Horner run those bubbles and arrow routes get the ball out to your receivers and let them go I'm going to agree with you on all those I'm going to say though like you said got start early get things going I'm going to say you got to control the line of scrimmage more than ever tonight um um control the clock too that's the same thing and take care of the football yeah yeah I think the team with the least amount of turnovers is going to be in a good spot and controlling the clock is something that we've done pretty well this year it's been pretty much split 5050 um but whenever we do have the ball we're able to make some progress out of it so got to do that and you get to start when I talk about having the clock on your side we get to start on offense right away so that's huge that we uh get to start there and another thing the kicker for Breeze Central doesn't have the strongest leg I think he only uh kicks it 35 yards something like that it's on here somewhere it's like 14er yeah number 14 number 14 Noah Coke's going to be doing the kicking only averages 35 yards so the big thing is our front our back guys get to stand at the 15 so you hope that he's able to uh get good field position for the Eagles it's Eagle football time now Alex it's Eagle football time as kooch sends it deep going to be returnable caught at the 10 yard line looks like it's going to be Jace running to the left runs over one of the tacklers and he's going to be brought down where the Eagles offense is going to start Mason vagley is coming out Jay n Nelson going to be doing your running back as well looks like on the o line might be trying to see he's in for Corbin looks like 71 no that's minky who's the other line wio over here on the right side as a tackle I have to look on the left side maybe there's somebody over there empty backfield for the Eagles doubles to the left side tight end right sniffer back right motion man Hicks fake the hand off Mason keeps it he goes up the middle this is a replay of what his brother did almost Eagles get up to the 30 yd line where he's going to be brought down gain of about six maybe seven brings up a second and three good play to start the game coach Warner go with 12 once again like two years ago like you said earlier first play of the game he goes 80 something yards to the house and he had this place kind of stunned because they were a little fired up that night and shut him up real quick ball on the right hash 31 yd line Second down and two same formation bagle sends motion man Nelson hands the ball off to him he puts his foot in the ground Cuts up gets keeps his feet moving gets through the yard to gain gain of four first and 10 ball at the 36 coach horer I think's going to run a lot of motion tonight have a lot of uh different guys on that looks like they're only having three linebackers so they're in a little fourth three action somebody's going to have to come out and guard or run across whenever a motion happens Eagles come into the game rushing 1575 yards averaging 225 a game 107 in the air 332 overall quart qub back keeps it again good tackle there by number 75 got off his block Mason might have got a yard if that second and nine look how beautiful that moon is in the background too I don't know if you saw that yet that is beautiful that thing is a full moon we'll see if we can get TJ to zoom in on that so no gain there going to be second and 10 once again Anthony hugan the senior number 75 18 total tackles six of them were for a loss doubles to the left side sniffer back right tight end right pass play vaguely double move looking looking deep to the left side he's going to overthrow Thompson it's going to be intercepted at the 28 yd line not what you want if you're the Eagles Keegan kind of just stopped running there I didn't think not a bad ball yeah I don't know if he didn't know that uh vagle was going to throw that deep ball you had Hicks running the Arrow Route and Keegan just ran a like you said double move Mason kind of just overthrows him but Keegan did slow down a little bit Central's going to take over might have tried to force it a little bit but it's just like a long punt now first and 10 for the Cougars low snap picked up right up the middle good job there by the Eagles rockers on the carry about four Eagles and make a tackle gain of three how long you think that rocker's name is has been around Breeze forever I think 19 is the receiver we're going to have to watch out for as well Griffin Becker nine total touchdowns pass play to right side Eagles are going to have to make a tackle it's going to be I believe that's Mankey good stop there for the eagles only a gain of two I wonder where coach short got that play nice little tunnel screen there eagles did a great job flocking to the football and that's that's what coacher main once third and five third and six once you get in those third and ones third and twos third and threes you're setting yourself up Central up to line of scrimmage trips to the left side quarterback boots to the left he's going to roll out looking deep slings it and it's going to go incomplete intended for number nine is Benny Layman that's another name that you hear a bunch fourth and five good job for the Eagles defense great job getting to the quarter back a little bit making him kind of get out of the pocket I don't know if it was was a roll out I didn't even see but anytime you can get a punt on the first defensive drive that's a great thing fourth down and five from their own 37 watch the football hard count nothing works Nelson is the Deep man standing at his own 32 punter sends it deep good Punt and it's going to fall at the Third 32 keeps bouncing good bounce there for Breeze all the way to the 19 where the Eagles offense is going to come back out on the field 850 to go here in the first quarter good first play out of the Eagles offense come have to take a look at Central's defense here to see if when we have doubles if that if there's a linebacker safety that comes up over that slot receiver CU I remember I think it was two weeks ago there was no one lining up up over the slot and all you had to do was throw a couple bubble routes and let your athletes out in space empty backfield once again doubles the left side tight end right CM your sniffer back right motion man Hicks this time we hand it off could have kept it going out but he tries cutting it up gain of two I think if he tries running that to the stretching it out wide he might get a little bit extra nonetheless gain of two second eight we'll see when coach Horner wants to pull that counter out of his uh bag I think Hicks has probably half his yards off that counter play this season first time the Eagles will have a running back in the back field it'll be a pistol back out of Nelson sniffer back is Janik over the guard turn around hand the ball off up the middle nothing going there's just a slew of bodies there jaay keeps his feet moving gets forward progress going to be close to a third down and four now from the 25 and I think central knows that we run the ball a little bit more than we throw the ball only having one high safety in number 19 pretty big kid back there probably 6'2 63 so they're going to have at least seven in the Box I would say single high safety number 19 64 180 Griffin Becker we'll say his name a lot tonight doubles right side ball on the right hash motion man Hicks vaguely keeps it up the middle tucks it down he's going to have enough for a first first down lowers his shoulder good play good pole first and 10 for the Eagles from the 31 yd line that's a big boy too in the middle it looks like 90 number 90 comes in 6 foot 220 number 99 nope number 69 comes in 510 230 and 75's big too 75 Anthony hugan 61 to10 anybody else you got there for me Jared nope I got them all number eight D end over there 6' 185 doubles to the right side I bet you we use the boundary here motion man Nelson coming right at us vaguely keeps it nothing going once again though maybe a gain of one forward progress though at least makes it a positive play will sander 69 makes the tackle you got the ball on this hash again we'll see if coach wants to use that boundary again on second down or if he wants to use that wide side of the field he's going to send his two receivers out there the left side doubles to the left side looks like Hicks is a little bit closer he's not so far stretched out there motion man Nelson hard count nothing going no Blitz shown under 10 seconds on the play clock Nelson moves to a pistol back janic moves in 3 seconds on the play clock we get it off it's going to be a run right up the middle Jace fing the pulling player he's got enough for 10 maybe 15 first and 10 ball at the 46 as long as you can manage the clock just a little bit in this first quarter kind of keep the ball out of Central's hands that high powering offense doing a great job moving the ball on this drive high power offense High Power Defense only giving up nine points per game I think it's only like three in conference play oh yeah I didn't ask you in pregame you like my uh Olaf socks oh gosh doubles to the right side tight end right vley keeps it he's going to run it himself good blocking out here but good job by the Cougars run into the football gain of two I think he could have cut that up a little bit earlier I think he wanted to get to the sideline like Keegan Thompson made a great stalk block and Mason just wasn't really able to read it still a gain of about two and a half three I'm going to assume it's John do that came in for for Corbin I haven't seen the Eagles rotating anybody out on the offensive side of the football I just now see number 57 though out there for the Eagles I want to see Hudson Bryan get involved a little bit in that tight end position we haven't seen much from that all season always a sleeper down there always on the ball Hicks motion man to the left he's going to keep it himself gets up field muskot wasn't there to pull fast enough gain of two ball to the 50 yd line now third down and six decision time here for Coach Herer what he wants to do get the six yards he got the ball in the middle of the field so he can use the either side see where he wants to put his receivers normally he likes running to that side CU you got a couple extra blockers I bet you this is a game where coach Warner wishes he still had hand signals still trying to yell everything out cow bells are going crazy over here doubles the right side single receiver out left empty backfield is vaguely by himself Bagley looks to the left throws it to the left incomplete fourth down and six I think you're punting it here if you're coach Horner he had an arrow out here out of hicks I believe it was Keegan ran a slant out of the right side I think I run that play again a little bit later on don't forget about it yeah I think I mean on third six third and seven there I think you just run your bread and butter you don't have to Chuck it down field keep running your motion man keep you can still run the ball Ethan hobill comes on late for the Eagles 412 remaining in the first quarter Eagles punting from their own 50 get it off pretty good punt spiring punt it's going to be caught by number two at about the 18 yd line gets all the way up to the 31 penalty flag thrown on the play hopefully it's in this side of holding like number 90 yep with a hold almost a block in the back back but rule it a hold so instead of having the ball at the 31 it's going to be at the 21g 401 remaining here in the first quarter tied z00 number one team in the State Central cougars coming in at 7 and0 Eagles trying to spoil the undefeated season spoil senior night try to get a shot at that conference title doubles all the way around running back pistol back number 29 in motion runs to the right side it's going to be a boot number 15's rolling to that side Hudson's going to have to force him to throw the ball and it's picked off by Logan Hicks he's got the left sideline he's going to get tackled turnover there for the eagles they get down to the 10 they're going to have first and goal threw it right to him Logan was right where he needed to be I think they tried just sneaking the running back out of the back field and Hicks just jumped right in front of it like you said quarterback kind of just threw it right to him easy catch for Hicks puts Columbia inside the 20 first interception for the Cougars quarterback this year now we got to make it hurt like we said Preston Baker 18 touchdowns zero picks now he's at 18 touchdowns one pick Eagles are going to have doubles to the right side Cooper W is your receiver way out here empty backfield vaguely by himself motion man Hicks to the left vaguely keeps it boots to the right side he's looking to the end zone where he's got CP good throw out of bounds Nothing Hurt second and 10 from the 10 maybe 11 yeah must be the 11 we can still pick up a first down if we get it to the one 343 left in this first quarter good play by vagle there just launching it out of bounds Nothing Hurt get to see another day ball in the left hash doubles to the left side see if coach Horner likes using that boundary motion man Hicks going to be keep by the quarterback nothing going stuffed third down and 10 Coupe comes off kin Thompson comes back on for the third and 10 and I think here you don't you don't need to do anything pretty try to kick a field goal you're in field goal range for Keegan Thompson who has a great leg who's been good all season long so I think you I I I would keep it on the ground here if I'm coach orner I wouldn't want to risk anything single re oh single running back is Nelson behind vaguely turns around hands it off nothing wrong with that take the points here if you're coach hner I hope I 100% agree I think if you get to about a fourth and two fourth and one then you can think about it a little bit looks like Cunningham's going to come out and do the the kick in Cunningham is seven pats on the season I don't know if he has any uh Feld goal attempts de goal attempts though going to be a 25 yard 26 yard attempt all with that snap good snap good hold kick is blocked it's a live football we got to get the football Mason falls on it at the 34 and that's where the Cougars are going to [Music] start Becker gets the block cougars take over 34 yd line 216 I think either one of those two guys off the edge could have block that thing yeah they didn't there was nobody even stepped out to that outside guy I think you're told them you're taught to block down but anyways they're going to hand it off the Rockers up the middle going to carry about two three eagles with them gain of about five that plays exactly that's exactly what central wants they overloaded that right side nobody really was over there coun for the guy who made the block double stack to the left motion man 29 runs all the way across the field quarterback looks back to the left runs a little hitch route going to be caught good move out of number 19 Ducks underneath the tackle out of Nelson huge gain first and 10 cougars have the ball in Eagle territory Jay's still playing about seven eight yard yards off the ball Griffin Becker averages 19 yards a reception that stat just went up quarterback draw up the middle good job Mankey forcing nothing to happen now you got to keep the play moving he runs back lost of two that play started with miy in the back field down the snap yeah he blew that up I think quarterback wanted to give it but he kept it and Owen miy caused that play there had a couple other eagles Hicks it looked like in on the tackle loss of about one second and 11 hard count gets the Eagles a jump offside second and six that's a discipline moment right there that's that's something that can come back to bite you anytime you can get him behind the sticks keep them there quarterback looking at the right side Eagles bring pressure there's a hold it's not going to get called thankfully it goes through the hands of the intended receiver number seven Jack sturis comes into the game two receptions for 31 yards and he's already had two attempts tonight and some some people at home if you're watching watch Hudson Bryant sometimes cuz he's getting held a lot because he's quicker than a lot of those linemen those linemen are getting away with some tugs empty backfield once again doubles running back to the left side quarterback's looking deep to the left he's got number two he's got number two for a touchdown down 37 yards 102 remaining 6 nothing cougars Aaron P was a Defender Kaden rocker for the touchdown get used to the name I think he just got beat there yeah everything's kind of going towards the Eagles now good snap good hole kick is up p is good we're going to run a commercial break Central leads at 7 nothing in week eight football [Music] welcome back to kchs Eagles Trail this one 7 nothing on a long touchdown reception for the cougars 102 remaining here in the first quarter this Central crowd is Rowdy they have fun when we're here yeah anytime you can beat columia should be pretty fun Central kicking off from the 40 our guys are standing at the 10 now sends it deep going to be fumbled Nelson picks it up now at about the two he's going to have to make something happen Ducks around keeps his feet moving he's still moving get going he's at the 30 lowers his shoulder up to the 32 he made up for it there on the fumbled reception good job getting to the 33 yd line where the Eagles offense will take over been able to move the football we just need to get some points now that's the running I want to see from Jace every play he that last dude he absolutely ran over need to get him out in open space and get him one-on-one against one of those Corners outside four down lineman for the Cougars only one we'll call it three linebackers but they're split out pretty wide motion counter up the middle cougar sniffed it out loss on the play the Eagles want to take it to the quarter they might be able to looks like we're it's going to have to run one more play I think big loss there now you're not a lot of play calls you have on second and long you just need to try to make it into a third manageable 15 seconds on the game clock Eagles going to have trips to the right side they are going to have to run one play running back right I would assume vaguely rolls to the right nope going to throw it Hicks with the reception he gets up field good play call there out of Coach Horner and the Eagles to bring up a manageable third and seven maybe a third and six whatever it's going to be it's going to come to in the second quarter we're going to run to a commercial break once again and when we come back we'll have second quarter action after this the Columbia quarterback Club is excited to host a reverse raffle going on now the raffle consists of 300 total tickets being sold for $10 per ticket contact any

tackle hunger together before the holidays and repeat as tackle hunger champions welcome back to kchs Third and six motion man Nelson left to right he receives it himself and he's going to get to the original line of scrimmage Eagles are going to have to punt again I thought Mason had the ball to be honest with you I did too that's why I stuttered to get through that need to get a stop here you can't go down two scores yeah coming on late Cameron steel over to this side vagle to do the puning return man standing at the 30 vagle with his rugby style kicks it right at the guy at the 30 yd line Steel's over there forces it inside good job cam steel good job cam Janet getting down gain of five cougars start at the 35 yd line 1110 on the clock I think Steel's down there on every single punt he's quick Shifty too very athletic defense definitely needs a stop here quarterback likes to roll out so got to be ready for that Xavier vagley comes out he's a safety now next to Mason run the ball up the middle nothing going good job a out of the front seven gain a maybe one p gave up the touchdown and I think X came in for him moves to the safety and I think that takes the safety Nelson turns him into a corner quarterback botin coming this way Hudson Bryant in the back field misses the sack Eagles got to stay in defense defender back here Mason vagley intercepted good play give me that Mason vaguely got beat a little bit had to guy behind him made the play though coming back intercepts it Eagles ball at the 29 yd line all started though Hudson Bryant getting back there and forcing chaos hasn't thrown a pick all year throws two in the first half this is where we have to capitalize on the offensive side of the ball Eagle start ball in the left hash What A Catch left hash empty backfield doubles to the right side motion man Nelson he's going to keep it he's running wide I like this play he lowers his shoulder gets about three maybe four second and six it's the first time that we've tried stretching the ball out instead of cutting up field once Hicks and uh Nelson get to that sideline they can pretty much outrun anybody so we'll see if coach Warner wants to keep getting them on the outside or he likes it up the middle we know it all starts up front 10 minutes now left in this first half Eagles have to get some points here before halftime Central gets a ball coming out of half pistol back quarterback hands it off picks loss back to the original line of scrimmage third and 10 now that moves you back to Third and 10 most likely a a roll out or some type of throw here I like the roll out Mason's aggressive enough and Shifty enough that he can run and yeah he can get a 10 yard run pretty easy we need him to have a 71 yard run that'd be pretty easy and cool too play clock already under 10 see if we can get situated we're going to have to hurry under five now doubles the left side doubles all the way around janic back there with vagley it's going to be a pass to the right side caught by Hicks hit right away keeps his feet moving gains the three that he just lost fourth and seven defense giving you chances here early getting some key stops two picks a punt early one big play those are only points on the board just can't get anything going really I think in that play there Mason knew that was going to be open and I'm fine with that but you got to know you need 10 yards you don't need four Mason do the pting again this time gets it off pretty quick and easy it's going to go over the head of the Return Man bounces at the 25 we'll see if he decides to pick it up he does not great punt there out of Mason getting down to about the 13 I don't know where he started but that was an awesome punt flip the field real quick that's huge had the ball at the 33 we'll call it cougar start over on the 13 8:15 remaining here in the first half and now you just need another stop on on the defensive side two early picks a punt forc them to go all the way down field run the ball up the middle lowers his shoulder gets a couple yards nothing really major though second and seven gosh those interceptions man doubles to the right side single receiver it's going to be a tight end I guess to the left side run the ball up the middle nothing going once again good job out of the front seven Mankey comes off the pile I believe janic was there as well and Hudson Bryant I'm going to give him the credit for the tackle right there third and seven this is what you want if you're Coach G watch the football though you can hear Coach G yelling help we got two receivers out here and three Defenders gosh dang it you got to watch the football oh he didn't call it little quick reaction out of me sorry about that doubles running back left quarterback looking left takes it slings it first and 10 good catch good ball that was quick slant that was pretty nice play there 19 once again strong hands there Jace did everything he could was in the right position just great throw great catch first down cougars Eagles defense trying to get set cougars are ready to go run the ball up the middle once again nothing going Hudson Bryant once again in the back field gain of nothing second and 10 my keys are like opposite I was worried about our secondary secondaries look pretty good I'll knock on wood for you but up front tearing it up second and long single receivers out wide quarterback fakes it looking deep Nelson's on the defense it's going to force a throw now in Pursuit once again Logan Hicks throws the ball it might be a fumble what are they going to call they call it incomplete Logan Hicks gets back there along with Hudson Bryant third and 10 good good job there out of the Eagles secondary doing a great job because this quarterback can looks like Patrick Mahomes were back there with number 15 keeping plays alive and that's I mean that's tough whenever you're a corner safety and you're watching the quarterback and sometimes you forget where your receivers at when they extend it 8 to 10 seconds longer than it's actually going to be empty backfield manto man out here closest to us quarter back looking left he wanted to slance across the middle it's going to be the double move and it's going to be caught big return there from the 25 to the 47 good for 27 yards I think Hudson was on the fense right there another good ball and catch I mean Hudson was right where he needed to be quarterback put it where his guy could make the catch great play they're going quick they're getting on the ball already ready for this next play first and 10 from the 47 tries a hard count doesn't get it Hudson was on the defenses A Little Wheel route out of the back field quarterback turns around hands the ball off up the middle number four he bust it to the left side he's got enough for a first down forced out of bounds by X gain of 15 first and 10 from the 33 550 in the first half [Music] 19 comes out Eagles kind of on their heels here the last two plays doubles to the right side tight end right sniffer back right quarterback looking to the right looking deep got a receiver Jace is there though incomplete good defense there by Jason in the end zone second and 10 his quarterback's got a cannon on him I love how quick his release is I mean it's from tight spiral too puts it on the money just great job by Jace to be in a perfect spot had a little bit of a rush dude he didn't even hardly throw that and it goes 40 yards he just kind of flipped it up there you couldn't do that no just flipped it yeah you ran those tunnel screens all the time didn't you yeah we never really went too deep Timeout on the field we showed you the commercial about tackling hunger next week against Jerseyville I believe we did it once before last year I think is what it was it might have been this year I don't remember but uh we were able to win that one so bring up your canned goods your non- perishable food items I believe coach warer said there's going to be a a barrel by the entrance to the school in the back by the uh picnic tables that's the main entrance now with all the construction so take your non- perishables up there and make a donation you think he's blitzing at all over there or are we too worried about him rolling out all the time I don't know I haven't really seen much blitzing because this quarterback gets out of the pocket and sometimes like you said he has that quick quick release where catches it and he's throwing it in a second or two yeah you need all the guys you can have and Breeze they're throwing guys out of the back field or running guys out of the back field on Wheel routes and everything I mean if you want an offense this is the offense you want I mean Breeze can do anything they're going to throw it deep they're going to run it they're going to do whatever they can big second down here second 10 up the middle of number four good play coming out of timeout if you're a central couger fan X gets the tackle number four Cole Davis 3 rushes this year 224 six touchdowns 72 yards per carry he gets six there third and four 520 before halftime pistol back quarterback fakes it to him going to do a double move once again this time number 19 is going to be the intended receiver a third pick for the Eagles at the goal line Mason bagley's going to try to return it he's to the 10 152 25 is where he's going to get knocked out but he steps out at the 22 three picks tonight for the Eagles defense now you got to make something happen again five minutes too in the first half man it's going to be a good one folks if it's going to go like this offense got to get something going here got to get points on the board five minutes left take a f minute drive downfield try to tie this thing up going into half and this is probably a moment where coach Horner might pull one of them trick plays out of his sleeve doubles to the right side tight end left for back right pistol back Nelson up the middle go good for five yards before he has any contact made good hole there by the Eagles offensive line Second and five I don't know about you but last year last year's Jace I don't think he's getting that low lower in his shoulder he's probably juking a lot whenever Jace runs up the middle nowadays he's lowest guy wins he's given the boom second and five from the 26 Eagles looking over to coach Horner on the right side getting the play call tight end left doubles right sniffer back left pistol back behind vaguely going to keep it himself going up the middle puts his foot in the ground might get to the original line of or the line of scrimmage not the original they give him a half a yard third and five I'm rolling out here and I'm looking I'm going to roll to the right side tell Keegan run to the sticks I need a first down and then have jaser Bryant run like a drag or a drive route across the middle across the middle of the field and I'd have Hicks run a Crossing route this way to kind of mess with those linebackers in the middle Coach G says he hates Crossing routes my only thing here you got 340 yep he's probably going to burn one here so yep they can talk about it a little bit coach Warner Burns at 334 oh 333 333 all right it went down two extra seconds should have been 335 but Josh is over here looking to the left looking at the reflections to see the scoreboard Brennan Brennan's 5 feet behind us keeping stats thanks Brennan that's huge I talked to TJ he didn't get a headset this week though we're all separated we've got everything Josh and TJ are talking via we got it flowing now I feel yeah we're good Josh and TJ have their own headsets now that they can communicate with one another they can't hear what we're talking about though you go into that huddle right there Jared what uh what do you think's going on in it I mean 333 obviously don't want to turn the ball over right here and give them the ball on our side of of the grass but I think like you said I think you roll out give your I mean give your quarterback a chance to run the ball if if nothing's there uh receiving wise but I think yeah you put Keegan or Jace on a little side sideline hits just try to get this first down and then you go in a little a three man three man or three minute push here right before half empty Back Field doubles to the right side tight end left sniffer back left Z's back in the back field by himself straight pass play Bad throw Falls incomplete had what she wanted but not the execution there stops the clock gives them an extra timeout third fourth down now and five worst case scenario right there I love the idea I think Jace was too far out yeah that's a long throw for a quick hitch cuz J Jace was just getting into his break as Mason was releasing the ball I mean it was a a shorter ball Jace would have never caught it but vaguely to do the punting holds on to it really long oh my God yeah should be around the 48 yd line what happened on that somebody just tripped yep and hit him right in the back of the head I think Mason does that rugby style punt he holds on to it really a long time I think then he was forced to punt in a hurry he had a guy rushing him can't tell who it was like P so cougars take over 3177 ball at their own 48 Coach G you need to stop at any point this is the biggest one toss to the left side with number two goes to the outside uses a sideline goes out of bounds that's that's something I want to see Alex I know I know we don't take a lot of under Center or I mean I think get get our running backs out out in space toss it to them and let him go I know it's it's tough to have your lineman block that type of scheme but it's pretty much just outside Zone penalty flag on the play looks like it's going to be on the Cougars holding far outside receiver there is going to be number 19 Griffin Becker I would assume it's on him don't know for sure but he was the guy in the area of the hold loss of 10 now puts the ball cougars at the 47 310 first down and 17 quarterback looking number 21 catches up the middle we've run this play a bunch in the past Hicks goes for the football gain of about eight caught Carter Dy number 21 18 receptions on the year for 456 five touchdowns second eight from the 45 the play that we used to run a ton now you never see this run Central still running it boy look how far our defensive backs are playing off the football they're eight yards deep doubles empty backfield quarterback wants that quick route and he gets it X on the tackle along with Keegan fumble on the play that's a fumble there's not and he was down on that far side I hate that defensive setup right there you are eight yards deep X is playing nine yds deep he's given a first down on the set yeah you could run three three yard hitch right there quarterback wanted it right away and they ran it deeper than he was wanting them to First and 10 though from the 36 boy I don't know if you watch that replay again here I don't know if that's a fumble and oh man that is close doubles empty backfield quarterback looks to the right side second move Mason fell Mason Falls over and it's caught at the 11 Mason Falls allows a big [Music] reception clock stops at 159 now it starts Mason falling over allows that completion first and 10 from the 13 yd line single receiver split out wide single running back he's going to take the ball up the middle good hole there good job there by the Eagles o making the play and clogging the hole right away now if you're Central you're in the driver's seat here don't give up anything big still got two timeouts approaching one minute left I'm going to assume they if we get a stop here on second down they'll burn one on third second and six cougars taking their time letting the clock run 60 seconds now on the game clock quarterback turns hands the ball off up the middle good job there Owen Mankey getting in the back field loss on the play and the Eagles needed that clock still ticking Now 50 seconds so decision time for Central if they want to burn one especially after losing some yardage there third and nine 35 seconds now they're getting up to the ball right around 27 seconds he's going to fake the hand off he's going to take a shot to the end zone to number 19 caught in the corner of the end zone s [Applause] touchdown touchdown cougars 22 seconds left in this first half we'll make it great ball there by the quarterback put it in the corner of the end zone where only 19 could get it good snap good hold kick is up and it is good will make it 140 here in this first half and that one kind of hurts right there Alex What A Catch you get his foot down and everything yeah just ran like a a fade route pretty much great catch Jace was even pushed him out of bound tried to push him out of bounds when he was in midair going up for it great body control to come down with it and get a foot down that's impressive Eagles Trail it 14 nothing Central starts with the football when we come out of halftime 20 minute half time Eagles walk back to the locker room that's about 200 yds away defense has done everything I think you could do in the first half I mean that's two big plays I'd say maybe four total those two big plays for a touchdown really hurt but got to keep your heads up still got a whole another half see if we can get some type of return here still got two timeouts see if we can go down and maybe get a field goal maybe a pass interference or something squib kick going to get picked up at about the 12 yd line by Hicks who tries to get to the middle of the field running the wrong direction now he's going to get tackled ran a long way to only gain a yard 13 seconds I think if you coach Warner take a knee go in the half [Music] that squib there it looked like white wanted to get it janic wanted to get it ends up in Hick's hands looks like we're not going to take a knee we're going to run a play doubles to the left side sniffer back left Nelson motion man runs it to the left bends it to the outside gets tackled it's where the half is going to end Eagles defense doing everything that they can to keep the Eagles in the game offensively though got to get something going huge Drive coming out of halftime though we're going to run halftime run to a break we come back

for our bluon high school cheerleaders they will be performing tomorrow their last cheer competition at Bishop dwinger high school that begins at 10:00 a.m.
so again Eagles are hosting the regional there and uh got a lot of good things going for them they are in a stacked sectional they are the two seed I believe overall Breeze Moder day went to the southern half I guess you call it I don't know how it's all sub sectionals and everything now I don't know how it all works but Breeze Moder day and Breeze Central are both down below and they will face each other in a Regional Championship so luckily they get to beat up on each other and then you got Carlin Vela Stanton Hillsboro all those other teams getting thrown in the mix so ihsa playoffs underway now and uh Jared eagles need to win this one we're a playoff team at large but need to win at least one more to lock themselves in for sure yeah and I think we've given ourselves a pretty good shot on the defensive side of the ball we just can't really get the ball moving um Jace really can't get going Hicks definitely really can't get going at all so um definitely going to have to make some halftime adjustments maybe try to throw the ball a little bit short routes try to just get our athletes out in open space um but yeah I think our defense is really really been couple big plays getting them downfield and then um a great catch in that back of the End Zone on that last touchdown and then um just a just a mess up in the secondary on that first touchdown so I mean we're still in this game you definitely need to stop right out of halftime though whenever you play a good team like the Cougars are when you get an advantage or you get a turnover like we have three of them going you've got to take advantage of them and kudos to Breeze giving up three interceptions they haven't done it all year and they don't care they make a stop right away so um good job by the Eagles getting the turnovers good job by the Cougars stopping anything bid from happening so and offensively like you said nothing going Eagles unofficially stats from Brenan white standing behind us Eagles have 14 yards passing 57 yards rushing Breeze Central comes in to halftime 133 yards passing 30 yards on the ground so uh definitely leading on the scoreboard and in the stats too yeah and that 1 30 I mean it speaks volumes I know he has three interceptions but I mean they only have 30 rushing yards I think up front our up our whole lineman uh lineman scheme that we've been running on the defensive side of things tonight has done a really good job I think their biggest rush was probably that toss down our sideline that only went for a first down so I think um other than that when they run up the middle we've we've pretty much been there um but we just got to make sure we try to get to the quarterback a little bit better uh try to get a couple couple sacks to have have them go second and third and Longs watching a couple of the replays and had a a viewer text in as well holding penalties on Hudson if you and you told people watch Hudson on a couple of these plays he's in the back field and we said in one as the play was happening hold on Hudson didn't get called but you know holding can get called on every play but some of those were pretty blatant that I mean you got to throw a penalty flag I know we're in Breeze yeah but um on their sideline yeah but uh I mean that's just kudos to Hudson for every play getting in that back field no matter if he's getting held or not um doing a great job forcing everything back inside and making it tough uh for them to run the ball so now you come out we've got another eight minutes yet until this halim's over with what are you going to go in I defensively do you really make that many adjustments not really I think the secondary's done a pretty good job like I said they've only gave up those two big touchdowns and then a couple uh big passes great catches by number 19 um but other than that I think I think everything's looked looked pretty PR solid I think one thing we could change is maybe playing a little bit closer to the receivers uh not eight yards off the ball maybe move them up to six or five yards but um I know coach Shain worries about um the double double moves deep routes um that some of our guys aren't really uh I don't know how to word it but ready for I guess I could say um especially with this quarterback that can extend plays like no other offensively coach owner talked about last week an adjustment at halftime was made on a run play that we were having success with it they made the adjustment at halftime though and all of a sudden the hole that was there was really there so hopefully they're able to see it I mean they got enough iPads those yeah I was just going to say that's what those iPads are for and you hope that they go to them every time and uh and look at them those iPads brought to you by the Columbia quarterback Club got to thank them once again for always making this happen the broadcast the food everything so uh make sure you check out the raffle that the

February at the Columbia American Legion we have any scores I haven't really looked no we do got another listener though X Eagle Kenny Fields is listening at home oh nice shout out Kenny Fields is that mod day across the way there with their lights on no I think they're on the road at St Teresa this week never mind then we're going to run to a commercial break real quick we still have five minutes to go until halftime ends I'm looking across the way I don't see the Eagles making their way out yet so we're going to run into a commercial break real quick and we'll come back with second half action of Columbia Eagles football after this n [Music] welcome back to kchs for the Eagles Trail this one 140 Central just made their way out on the field the Eagles now making their way out I guess I just didn't see them walking out defensively we talked or we talked about offensive stats defensive stats though leading the way in tackles is number two Logan Hicks Hudson has three along with Mason Mankey with two and x with two and then another five players with one tackle two picks for Mason and one pick for Logan Logan Hicks that that Logan interception I mean we had the ball at the 11 we got to get points out of there I know we had a blocked kick oh I forgot about that already you got to you got to come out of there with points because I mean when they're giving you the ball right there they're literally asking you to score so I mean you you got to you got to take advantage of that every time do you think coach stump will get in on a little Q&A real quick with you if you want all right see he he's about to walk up right here coach stumps trying to get the headset on real quick we're just going to have two quick questions you don't have to take your hat off it's not like you got hair that's making the headset not fit good stump going in got the pick at the 11 yard line weren't able to score defensively though you got to be happy with what's going on yeah I mean couple plays we' like to have back um but other than that we've been pretty sound um yeah so far not too bad any adjustments that you guys talked about at halftime just making sure we stay in coverage um watch for for the double moves things like that they do a real good job of that and have shown it on film we just got to be ready uh for stuff like that and stay prepared you just made the long long walk there and back are you wind you are winded all right get back in there get with Coach George in the side over there thanks for joining us coach stump three minutes now on the game clock for the guys to warm up Jared like you said this is a huge huge huge Drive coming out of half you got to get a stop if you're the Eagles yeah anytime it's a two-possession game you're always in the game but obviously that pushes the three possessions it comes a little tougher especially in the second half and especially when your offense hasn't really produced much in that first half so um yeah you're hoping for I mean you're I know you're hoping for another turnover but we had three in the first half so I guess we got to hope for another turnover here in the second half don't forget Central came in hadn't thrown a pick all year they got three lot on the line here tonight Eagles trying to spoil senior night spoil an undefeated season trying to become try conference Champs if a eagle Victory here tonight assuming Roxanna beats Wood River seeding becomes a huge thing now with playoff points and six wins get you in the playoffs for sure so Eagles are going to need to uh make something happen here tonight don't forget playoff pairing show more details come out on the 21st but the show is going to be on the 26th no matter what it's usually around 7 o'clock when the 4A bracket comes out they'll do a little bit of a show just kind of leading up to everything talking about everything and then about every 10 minutes they give you each division bracket so Eagles are going to be 4 a once again like normal East Side playing against Edwardsville 77 about to go into halftime wow yeah interesting score there interesting game that's not a conference game or anything either for either team I was looking for some of our conference scores but don't see nothing yet we knew we'd have a good one here tonight and we did Eagles are going to try to make something happen under a minute now before kickoff happens Eagles are still out on the field stretching they are now in a huddle all right see if our defense can get a stop here hopefully this off our offense can get something going just a couple first downs just to get build some confidence on that front line and especially the quarterback Breeze could put it away I think with the score here I don't want to be Debbie Downer but I think a score that takes every ounce of momentum over there and everything I think I'm going to try to watch a little bit more Hudson Bryan I know we say it I want to see if there is holding penalties that aren't getting called you challenge here Jace as a corner hubard haven't said his his name too much tonight he's been the other Corner then obviously Mason and X as your safeties and I know you come in this game I mean at halftime you're down 14 nothing but I think you come in here already down seven just with everything going on tonight I mean they're seven and0 on the road big conference game and that bright scoreboard at the end of the the field lights up you can see it from the highway it was when we left Moder day I looked over and you could see it it's impressive hopefully Columbia can get something like that here in the near future it'd be pretty cool we'll have to have TJ zoom over on that thing before the game's over with but before he does that we are going to have third quarter football Cunningham pooches it middle of the field going to be caught at the 31 yd line they're going to run it to this side steel forced him back in it's like 70 72 Dylan Robinson on the tackle cougars are going to start at the 32 yd line 37 yd line I missed five yards wrong line four down lineman for the Eagles three linebackers Hubbert little bit closer he's only five yards off Jared hey look at that you're a smart guy run the ball up the middle nothing going good job from the backside K musoff gets in that back field maybe gain of half a yard great job KAS they ran it to the left he was he lined up on this left side of the field ran all the way to the right able to get in the back field second down and we'll say 10 doubles for the Cougars motion man number 29 running all over the place pitch it outside good job case in for nothing going on jce making the tackle third down and long he had three guys look like blocking him K was just kind of riding with him all the way towards that sideline to where forced him to go out so now you got third and long doubles with a looks like an upback number seven number seven Jack sturis said his name early in the game haven't said it too much this year used them early pass play looking to the left just quick hitches it's a smash route though number 21 makes a catch big return he might get into the end zone Mason's going to have to make a tackle it's going to be Keegan making the tackle at the 10 yard line smash [Music] route injured cougar on the play a double move again and X kind of just over pursued there there's an injured cougar down on the field trying to see what our pass rush looked like to see anytime you have a double move you got to have someone in that back field only a three-man rush though great job by big Central guys up front 21 able to get up after that injury walk off the field under his own power so cougars had the ball at about the 37 now they got the ball at the 10 first and goal from the 10 Single receivers out wide quarterback turns around hands the wall off up the middle number two B the left yeah thank you the don't don't retaliate they they threw the flag they finally called the flag left tackle's been holding first whole first half finally decide to call it oh yeah we'll take it for sure in case in kind of retaliated after the play you got to be smart second guy always gets caught loss of 10 takes away the touchdown first down and goal from the 17 yd line 16 yd line let's hope that's a drive killer here I don't know it almost seems scarier for me cuz 15 can just let that let that arm work got a little more room to work with ocean man 29 across the field bootleg quarterback's looking to the middle of the field throws it back across the field touchdown couple flags and he that he should be kicked out of the [Music] game after the play I think Cas might hit the quarterback a little bit late 61 just had the hold came over and hit Cas musop in the back and then walked over him basically had a little extra to say at the end too man now is it a touchdown does it happen during the play or after the play white hat over talking to coach Herer right now trying to figure out what's going on yeah touchdown might stand because that was after the play but we'll see what they want to call [Music] here Sportsman like on the offense he should have got a double call shoved him in the back and then looked over him that should be two personal fouls he should be out of the game I don't know if you agree Alex but that's that's not a football move no I wish we were [Music] outside starting to sweat Alex thank you I'm surprised he officially had two flags in his pocket he was reaching for it probably in a sock on for the pat now after a little bit of a delay good snap hold kick up good 1044 remaining in the third quarter Central lead just won 21 nothing we're going to run to a commercial break we come back Eagles offense gets on the field has to get in the end zone a [Music] on sportsmanlike penalty is assessed to the 25 yd line where the Eagles hopefully will have good field position after the kickoff watch the replay again right there could have been another hold I mean it was another blatant hold I think doesn't matter what I think though ball caught 25 yd line keeping it to the left side is Hicks he sits down a little bit gets tackled at the 40 where the Eagles are going to start over and you look at the Eagles walking walking walking and these cougars are moving all momentum on this sideline boy we got guys walking on the field off the field guys going off late don't know what's going on I think here coach horer just I think he needs to just try to move get just try to get a good drive going short increments of yards four to five yard for play try to move down the field and just get some points on the board Begley turns around hands the football off stiff arm out of hicks run it to the right side puts his foot in the ground gain a three I think we need to get the ball moving a little bit we're kind of standing around try to get something going that's probably the third or fourth time that a running back or receiver has had to stiff arm a guy in the back field though somebody's missing their block up front kind of noticed a little bit our guys are moving as the snaps coming back already it's almost like the Snaps are a little slow I'll take four yards there just keep keep getting these yardage right here and you can set yourself up for a great Drive single receivers out wide tight end right sniffer backck right vaguely hands a ball off right into a wall of cougars gaining nothing third and alongs [Music] five and you got to give props to centrals defense tonight all over the field multiple Central cougars fly into the football big third down here third down in about five and this could be a a make or break play for this this whole game here see what coach horer wants to do empty Back Field doubles to the right side single receiver over here to the left is Nelson motion man Hicks vaguely keeps it up the middle good for a first down lowers his shoulder after contact five more yards good run gain of 15 maybe even 20 first and 10 in cougar territory at the 41 hit ran over oh my gosh and hopefully that's a little bit momentum for your offense in that Columbia Eagles sideline what a hit put on by Mason vley oh my goodness seven yards after lowering the Boom but we get a big play now we're back to slow 30 seconds off the play clock before we can get anything going again doubles are the right side tight end left sniffer right pistol back is Nelson turn around hand the ball up the middle I'll take that another gain of four second and six we're kind of going in a a three-man rotation now Mason gets a carry Logan you get a carry then jaay you get a carry so I like how coach Warner is kind of mixing it up a little bit see if he wants to get Keegan involved or uh Janik or Hudson Bryan involved a little bit it's kind of been a three-man offense all night all year all year it all starts up front hopefully these these big boys up front can keep keep going on this drive going to pick up a couple more first downs Eagle second six doubles to the right side motion man Hicks coming to the left fake it to him going to be a pass play vaguely is going to have to scramble tries to set up throws it throws it to the middle of the field it's going to be picked off at about the 19 yd [Music] line return to the 30 not a very good decision there by vagley tried rolling out this way had Keegan early but about three or four cougars in his face couldn't really boy there is no offensive lineman blocking there really and I think he was trying not to get a grounding he was trying to get it back I mean he was out of the pocket though so that wouldn't have mattered and there you just probably throw it out of bounds I think that's what he was trying to do but chucked it down the middle of the field Eagles defense has to get a stop now we've said that a couple times Run play right up the middle bust it to the left side good for about 20 keeps his feet moving out of bounds is the running back number four Cole Davis Big gain [Applause] [Music] first and 10 for the Cougars from the 46 yd line they are in complete control of everything right now going to be a pass play double move left side quarterback throws it up there Nelson on defense off the fingertips of the wouldbe receiver if that ref called Chop block on our looks like quarterback signaling hold though on the offensive side I thought they were going to call something on Bryant there people upset about a holding call they've been doing it all night yeah it's not the first one and it's crazy now that it's happening see how often it happens I I was I was telling you in the first half h is getting held a lot first and long action looking to the right side another man wide opens number nine just out of the arms I said we hadn't been saying hub's name very much tonight glad we didn't have to say it for the wrong reason there injured cougar on the play 726 remaining in the third quarter looks like he's just cramping up Eagles Trail it 21 nothing Eagles next week get to go home for senior night the Panthers are in town that's the Panthers do we know the Panthers it's on hoe sheet let me find Ho's paperwork here Jersey host Highland jerseys two and five this year they are hosting the Bulldogs of Highland who are four and3 in an MVC matchup it was one of the two victories for the Eagles last year so hopefully the Eagles are get that sixth win next week not over here yet but Eagles have zero momentum right now is that Mason's second pick tonight that he threw I think he threw one in the first half as well I have no idea I have memory issues oh yeah it was the Deep ball I remember oh yeah first drive wasn't it yeah second Drive something like that [Music] early injured cougar I forgot that's what we were waiting on wow you're harsh well I just forg I know I'm joking man make me feel this big injured cougar is walking off on his own power it is number sorry about that number nine Benny Layman Benny Layman three receptions for 75 yards he's the guy that sends it deep and spreads it out for the cookers deep bre doubles up back for the Cougars looking right double move they're looking deep quarterback throws it good throw good defense third and 20 now pass interference the ball was five yards out of bounds oh get him oh don't even start don't even start happens every week tackle that man I just shut the window and all the parents are turning around yep like I did something wrong it's all right happens every time so third and 20 ball at the Cougars 44 718 remaining trips to the right side a little bit of a stacked look going to be a boot to the right side quarterback looking downfield throws it got a man near the sideline and it goes incomplete Mason about a yard away fourth and 20 good job there by the Eagles defense see what happens when they call a hold though and it changes the whole trajectory of the drive pushes him back on first down I'm going to be interested when we go back and watch the replay how many there are and how things could have could have been Jace standing at the 24 yd line they're gonna yeah there's I was going to say somebody's got to run out here on this receiver just throw it straight to him high snap brought down punts off Jace is going to let it bounce at the 20 and it checks up nicely for the Eagles luckily and it's down at the 18 yard line Jared said it before got a score yeah need more points than the other team had a good drive going that last last drive we had but kind of a weird decision by Mason on that throw but defense stands up once again again gets another stop see if the offense can get going trips to the right side for the Eagles running back is going to be janic to the right side of vagley four down linen three linebackers two linebackers play action vley now he's going to have to scramble nothing going we were wanting the tunnel screen still good it's about three yards thougher second and seven 647 left here in the third quarter cougars lead 21-0 Columbia offense really hasn't done anything all night and the football off Hicks going to the left side puts his foot in the ground gets up going to have enough for a first down good run first and 10 from the 29 you said it earlier we're running a little bit more outside now getting our athletes out in open space like we've been saying the last six years probably but it's as simple as that get the football in your playmaker's hands let them just let them go doubles are the right side tied end the left Bagley turns around hands the ball off gets met at the line of scrimmage is Nelson got absolutely smoked about two or three different Defenders there second and 11 now looks like Cooper white is going to check in Bryant is going to come off [Music] may he trips to the right side single receiver is Nelson with Cam janick as the sniffer [Music] back rolling out to the right sides vagle throws it caught Thompson good for about seven manageable third down third and three love the play call I wish we would have ran that earlier seven times work there though so big third down here once [Music] again I almost don't like Mason just standing in the pocket I kind of like him rolling out like you said earlier because he's able to run it really well for a quarterback big third down here you do not want to punt and give them the ball up 20 or down 21 Eagles throwing an extra lineman out there once again motion man Nelson left to right quarterback keep it vaguely he's hit at the line of scrimmage going to be a loss on the play and I don't I don't know if you start thinking about going for it yet you probably do cuz you're going to have to score more than 21 points but they're going to bring the punt team out think about a fake maybe some of the those ruges Mason throughout the year I thought he was going to put his head down and run but it's why we choose to do that rugby style CU it's normally our quarterback that's the punter so sometimes he can make a decision of his own unfortunately going into the boundary it's not a very good one to be running on yeah Cougar's bringing pressure notices it kicks it off caught at the 30 yd line blocking the back up to the field to the 4550 he's going to be brought down by Keegan at the 50 yd line Cougar's taking over with the football 434 need a scoop and score pick six something here for the Eagles stops are good but about running out of time for stops first and 10 for the Cougars Eagles trying to get the defense squared away what they need it to be four down linemen two linebackers three linebackers didn't see Coupe over there on the other side of the official quarterback play action looking deep middle of the field going to be throwing it over here to the corner now great catch on the [Applause] play Griffin Becker with another great catch High Point in the football Jace was there look at that they're up 21 nothing they're still going to sling the pig skin round they know that's probably their best bet no one we've been stopping the run all night and they got us [Applause] again I've never understood that as a lineman man the football is literally a foot away from you yeah and you're watching the ball always first and five now for the Cougars quarterback hands the ball off up the middle good job there once again Mankey Mankey grabbed a hold right away and was able to make the tackle along with a couple other Eagles second and three and other than that him jumping off sides Mankey jumping off sides in that first half he's had a really good night tonight stuffing up the middle especially without Lincoln Corbin in there as well Malachi bassets in there now you got Furlow on this side and you have Brian on the other side furo taking the place of Janik I don't see Janik over there quarterback's going to turn around hand the ball off running back trying to show patience showed too much patience though as Furlow is able to get back there and make the tackle brings up a third and three what have they never heard flock of eagles before I think we say that every week Alex I give the central fans credit I mean they have fun when they're out here they do they're always Rowdy always full of full stands they wrap all the way around over to the concession stands quarterback fakes it to their short man now he's going to scramble tries to extend the play throws it down deep to number 19 who high points it once again Griffin Becker in the end zone once again for a [Music] touchdown penalty flag on the play [Applause] legal man downfield hold your horses loss of five third and eight who is it I did not see anybody downfield on the replay we have was a wide receiver covered up don't know throw to the left side third and eight turns into a first and [Music] 10 brings up first and 10 from the 21 yd line see if we can watch who gets depleted for the Eagles there quarterback turns around hands the ball off up the middle bends it to the left side keeps his feet Moving Two missed tackles out of the vagle brothers Dives for the pylon out of bounds up a first and goal like that was Cooper white first and goal from the three and a half quarterback turns around hands the ball off nothing going good job there by the Eagles defense do on the Tackle Bryant was there as well under two minutes now need a fumble or bad snap something here four scores is tough to come back from sweep to the outside good job there Cooper W haven't said your name a lot tonight we'll say it now lost of three brings up third and goal from the [Music] nine good job there CP running the alley making an open field tackle good job by the Eagles all year making open field tackles empty backfield quarterback looking to the right side slant across the middle tipped good job there by the Eagles defense brings up fourth and goal from the nine look like they're going to bring out the kicking team try to make this 24 nothing still be a three possession game see if we can return the favor and get ourselves a block kick maybe return for a touchdown that would really be a momentum booster there I think that set the tone for the for the evening I mean moving the football and that happens going to be a 25 yd attempt kick is up and it is [Applause] good takes the score Breeze Central 24 Columbia 0o 48 seconds remaining in this third quarter I'm not saying that I watched the official just push one of our guys but I'm pretty confident I just watch the official push one of our guys I am pretty sure one of them just something's going on on that 100% now that I'm watching the replay I 100% watch the official push the ref and I think that's coach Kendall who the first one there I think that's Kendall whoa 100% happened whoa good job coach Kendall getting out there right away that's unbelievable that is unbelievable he shouldn't be able to W the rest of the game I'm sorry that is unacceptable you can't do that that is unacceptable high school student you're a grown adult you take on you take on the job to be an official you cannot put your hands on a student yeah and I would do the same thing if that was my son I'm not going to lie wow no that is unbelievable 24 nothing Eagles offense is about to get the football back I've never seen that before wow good kick once again out of central returned by Hicks running to the right side puts his foot in the ground gets up to the 25 about the 27 yd line [Applause] I'm in shock by that yeah I am too and now that official has to stand on our sideline and he's talking to oh now he's now he's Mr Nice Guy this might be his last game riffing High School football doubles to the right side single receiver to the left going to be Nelson counter coming right back at us is Hicks lowers his shoulder gets about five yds second and five I think he was expecting contact a little bit quicker there and went down made my heart rate go up a little bit I don't like stuff like that you're a grown man trips to the right side running back to the right bagely rolls right has Thompson at the sticks good defense there out of central penalty on the play for the young Sportsman like on the excitement probably a lot of words being exchanged down there if I had to guess I don't know who this coach is at the 45 for Central but as soon as he saw the excitement and the celebration penalty flag went in the air and he turned into the sideline right away and got a sub out there so it's going to be a 15 yard penalty after the [Music] play you know usually we have parents saying don't stoop down to their level but we'll just shut the window on that statement first and 10 from the 47 doubles running back to the right side is Janik vaguely looking left double move throws it out here to jaay ah slipped tries to make a move slips gain of five and of the quarter that'll take the quarter Eagles got a lot of ground to make up only a three-score game 24 nothing we'll be back with the fourth quarter after this [Music] he [Music] welcome back to kchs Eagles Trail at 24 nothing lot of ground to make up move the ball a couple different times just can't get in the end zone let's see if we can do it here as we have the ball on the central 49 yd line Eagles we've said it a couple different times this year have moved the ball just can't get into the end zone Rox Santa game yeah we've been moving a little bit better here in this second half that first half we struggled a little bit they gave us the ball at the 11 on that interception but other than that we haven't really got anything going doubles to the right side motion man Hicks play action bootleg vaguely look across the middle of the field good catch there Jace Nelson that should be good for a first down what is they got on our sine terrible spot this sideline has a first down it needs to go with this guy I think too and it's not what is that spot you need to measure that too it's cuz he's on our sideline he don't like us I'm telling you what is that that is not right Che third Ines oh my goodness I'm sorry I'm getting a little mad here but it's a big game third inches double to the right side empty Back Field tight end left sniffer back left ble puts Hicks in motion hands the ball off tries to go out wide stiff arm first and 10 lowers the shoulder cross the 40 yd line to the Cougars 37 gain of about six ball to the 37 clock is not on our side 11 minutes to go now if you're coach Warner I think you got to have plays in your in your head going right away again 25 seconds off the play clock or game clock play clock both of them doubles to the right side single receiver left motion man his Hicks once again bootleg vagley sets up goes back across the field but he's not going to have anything going and if you watch at the end of the play watch where case musop standing not making any blocks sack loss of two ball at the cougar 39 second and [Music] 12 trips to the right side now gley looking right throws it to the middle of the field caught penalty flag thrown looked like when he threw the flag it hit KAS right in the stomach too oh maybe a block in the back he did a little spin move on him K kind of kind of got away yeah I can see it didn't want to see it so loss of 10 on the play takes it back back to the cougar 49 yd line again get things moving bring it back 10 minutes to go now in the ball game Conference Championship on the line looking like it's going to stay here in [Applause] [Music] Breeze doubles to the right side empty Back Field tight end left sniffer back left motion man nobody I thought it was going to be Hicks vagley throws it incomplete third down and 20 really no time to throw there for vagley clock stops at 9:41 third and very very long got to get to about the 28 just to get a first down if you can get to the 40 on this play brings up a fourth and 12 it's better than fourth and 22 some would say I don't need all 28 or whatever it is right now 22 if you can just yeah get to the 40 here and give yourself a a chance got to call a timeout play coock expires 940 to go in the game we're going to run to a commercial break real quick we come back we'll have fourth quarter after this [Music] he [Music] welcome back to kchs presented by the Columbia quarterback Club 24 941 remaining in the ball game Eagles facing a third and 20 trips bunch to the left side ball in the middle of the field vaguely going to have to scramble throws it incomplete over the head of Nelson the wouldbe receiver looked like we were trying to get it all back right there punt team is going to come out don't want to give them the ball at Midfield and make them earn it putting this way so we would just went back to watch what happened on the shoved official or shoved player situation it was on the field goal he pushed it right Mason's going to punt here real quick gets it off going to be caught at the 15 yd line number two gets to the middle of the field now he's trying to get over here to this sideline he's got the sideline and he's going to be brought down at the 37 so on the field goal you can go back and watch it this is where I wish we had replay Jared called that it was pushed right away if you watch the reaction out of all the eagles they all react like it was pushed to the right two officials call it good and that's when Keegan turned around and started talking I I it looked like it and it's that official approaches Keegan first so and then gives him a very good shove there at the end so just going to be a quick pitch to rockers on the right side and gain about six another flag on the play might be looked like maybe a face mask in the region of face mask I would guess Kudos is the coach Kendall still like I said he was there right away as soon as the shove happened so good job coach Kendall having your players back holding cougars it's been happening all night like I said I'm ready to go back and watch and see how many times it's happened so it's going to be a lost at 10 spot foul brings up a first down and 13 think if you're the Eagles now when you start scoring you're going for two every time C for bringing everybody near the line of scrimmage motion man 29 pitch to the right side good job there by Hudson Bryant making the tackle lost of five on the play good job flowing to the football Hudson while he's getting blocked does what he's supposed to do forces it right back in Jace there to make the tackle a great job just flowing with the way the ball's going great job motion man coming back across from where the motion was going on number 19 on the catch 19 with a lot of green grass ahead of him Mason's going to have to make the tackle and he does slings him down at the 35 yd line good for about 37 yards first and 10 8:15 ball at the Eagles 37 yd line cougars up to the line of scrimmage right away going to be a Pitch to the right side ah Logan Miss tackle out of Logan Miss tackle out of Mason good for first down before going out of bounds around the 20 yd line [Music] goes out of bounds stops the clock 806 doubles to the left side single receiver out to the right sniffer back right pistol back behind the quarterback play action looking back across the middle of the field quarterback's going to scramble get brought down case mus up with the tackle gain of [Music] two might have been Hudson on the tackle even KAS and Hudson were both there clock is on the cougar side now single receivers split out wide quarterback hands the ball off up the middle to number two gets through two tacklers good for another first down before getting driven out of bounds going to be a first down and goal [Music] Eagles just getting beat all over the place right now cougars are running it right down her throat single receiver still split out wide tight end left sniffer back left quarterback turns the ball hands it trying to get to the left side it's a race to the pylon and it's going to be good for another cougar touchdown [Music] this cougar team's ranked number one for a reason they're dominate I'm speechless my mind's on one thing right right now good snap good hold kick is up and good takes the score Central 31 Columbia zero we'd like to thank everybody for listening tonight all year one more regular season game next week against Jerseyville Eagles are going to try to get back on the winning ways hopefully then improve to six and three and help in the playoffs I would assume we're going to be on the road you never know six and three team yeah has hosted before then it starts depending on playoff points and everything else though so we got a lot of them I think we came in with 30 no it's got to be around there it's usually around 25 to 30 that's what we're at right now we're already I mean we're for sure even at five wins we'll get in with yeah the amount of playoff points we have water's six and one they're seven and0 got a team like roxan who's got multiple wins this year here I think modern day's only got [Music] three 31 nothing here seven minutes left in the ball game it's going to send it deep it's going to go out of bounds you have him re kick you take your fight or take a penalty I would take the penalty what's that website you find football scor on Twitter X here let me look that's all you so with the kick going out of bounds Eagles get the ball at the 35 see if we can get something going now Brandon how many yards we got in this second half how many yards we got in this second half let him add it up real quick doubles to the left side we'll call it trips to the left side with where janic is standing fake quarterback keep spinning around not much going on though officially unofficial 43 yards of offense for the Eagles in this half it feels like that yeah especially with a couple penalties pushing you back then you're you pretty much have to throw the ball when you're second and long third and long so tough for the Eagles to get back in it clock still ticking at 6:30 second down here for Columbia same formation probably the same play if I had to guess Nelson goes to the wide side of the field going to be a loss of one on the play this defense has been clamps all night got to give props when props are due I mean they got guys flying all over the field going to go trip stack here it looks like lined up inside the [Applause] hashes there you go drops back steps up into the pocket throws it across the middle it's caught by Jace at the 49 yd line good for a first down gain of about 15 kind of bobbled it a little bit but able to secure it right at Midfield and Jace has a lot probably three four catches tonight bunch of carries for him as well we're going to go simple double set with Cam Janik lined up as the running back bigle looks to the right side throws it pull the receiver caught gain of six gain of five second and five according to hoe Mason coming into tonight needed 11 passing yards to reach one mile of career passing yards how why does he do that stuff Jace needed 97 yards to reach 10,000 career rushing yards I don't know if he's got that tonight hopefully he gets it next week doesn't feel like he's got 97 yards rushing tonight definitely get it next year if not next week yeah doubles to the left side tight end right sniffer left hand the ball off to the left up to the line of scrimmage third and five remaining in the game doubles to the right side ball in the middle of the field tight end left sniffer back left motion man is Nelson going left to right vagle pulls it now he's got to scramble loss of six on the play fourth and [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 11 if you think about it this is probably one of the ugliest games that Central might have played all season long with three interceptions and they're still good and they're up 31 nothing they got a lot of Playmakers man the quarterback's good 19 is a step you can throw it anywhere and he's going to go up and get it and then the rocker kid he pretty much does it all you can put him anywhere on the field and he probably going to succeed Eagles had to burn a timeout right there don't know if they weren't expecting to punt it there or what the deal was but before the timeout there was only seven guys on the field the lineman all ran off the field little little chilly out there Mr White he's came in rubbing his hands together we're sorry for the shaky camera ladies and gentlemen TJ it's almost like we told him that hey dress warm because we might be inside bring some gloves next time 326 remaining fourth and 10 for the Eagles and overall in this game I mean just not a lot of offense not not a lot that we've been doing up front we've kind of been getting beat a little bit haven't been able to throw the ball too much offense is going to stay on the field fourth and 10 timeout cougars now it's one of those fourth quarters that takes on forever now your head on a swivel up here Jared they got a football toss going right now I'm waving my hands for one going have to shut the window we're going to take one through the window yeah it's right in the mouth man they're they're going everywhere oh I think she was trying she was trying for me no me I want a souvenir hold the phone she's got a cannon little dodgeball reference what is it dive duck dip dive and Dodge fourth and 10 for the Eagles from the 50 326 Eagles Trail this one 31 [Music] zero doubles vaguely looking left pressured throws it incomplete intended receiver was CP showed some UPS goes through his hands turn over on Downs Central takes over at the 50 looks like number three is going to take over at quarterback I like that play call there just watch the replay looks like coup's going to run a wheel and just runs to the sticks and stops so Central getting some of their starters out they're going to have to time call a timeout I would imagine you don't have to when the play clock doesn't start oh back judge is keeping track sweep to the left side CPS on defense going to be caught first and 10 gain of about 13 on the play I don't know why PE I used to do this if I knew I was getting blocked and getting pushed back I cuz I can pop up off the ground real quick I'll just follow my knees real quick he'll go tumbling over me pop right back up I don't know if anybody else has ever done that but once you're getting pushed back five six seven eight yards gets pretty tiring under three minutes now here in Breeze three's just going to hand it off up the middle oh good hit there out of ma Mason comes up makes the tackle gain of about five second and five now Central just going to use this clock here as much as they can second six letting the play clock run counter to the left side good job there Cooper W gaining nothing back to the original line of scrim or to the line of scrimmage don't forget folks tackle and hunger October 21st through the 25th look for the blue bins barrels at the school to donate your non-p perishable food items they will get weighed and it's a competition against Jerseyville pitch to the left side into the boundary good job forcing it back in out of hubard gets close to the first down they might give it to him 80 seconds remaining in the ball game probably enough for two more plays fourth and goal for four in goal fourth in inches I think he did go out of bounds though so clock stops at 122 now it starts the official measurement from 54 yards away single receiver split out wide hard count Eagles jump first and 10 66 seconds to go Victory formation is all cougars need to do and that's the third time they've got us on jumping off sides teams watch a little film they could take advantage of that later in postseason so cougars are going to go Victory formation now like I said next week Eagles will take on Jerseyville on senior night make sure you're there early to greet the seniors congratulate them on four years with Columbia football congratulations to the central cougars dominant game here out of them tonight six and0 in the conference conference Champs once again 8-0 on the season 8 and0 on the year number one team they play

guess thanks everybody once again for listening not too much to say I mean it was all Central cougars all night and it all started with that blocked PA or blocked field goal early oh yeah Eagles were able to force three interceptions tonight hasn't been done all year so it was a good job there not much to say though 2024 Kia conference Champs Central cougars improved to 80 the Columbia Eagles fall

say play earli this year got killed yeah that was a tough game that was we did that you and I do that okay yeah all right thank welcome to waca TV here at the plateau my name is Daniel vetstein alongside with me is longtime waa announcer Rob silver Rob we have breast cancer awareness day here at the plateau boys varsity soccer versus the whan Warriors what do you expect to see well I I was talking to one of the players earlier whan is a uh you know five and six team but they come from a better division they have a quite the storyed history as I look at their roster four championships state champ state championships since 2001 uh so it's going to be a tough match but you know Ashley you probably saw came in uh coming in at 83 and two so it should be an exciting matchup and Ashland in the Pink as you mentioned for breast cancer awareness month in today in particular but um there were Ashley and resting a few of their starters it's the first time I've uh been up to a game but I know they have a couple guys that are somewhat injured they're going to try and oh a little mistake right there as you just said Felipe captain is hurt as well as Pedro bores another senior both key components to this varsity team yeah and from talking with Coach Moda earlier nothing catastrophic but you know just stuff that he wants to get this team ready for the playoffs currently ranked 10th so pretty strong seeding as whan makes a push break up on the centering pass here's Costa he finds Ramsey with a little bit of space Ramsey good offensive player great shot power back on defense number two for wh and Brady Babino Martin's one of the captains number 29 kicking it ahead just going to trickle out of bounds even if that ball did say in bounce going to be difficult to track down the ball when Dean vento is on defense very fast very skilled tall player it's difficult to get the ball away from him kick Max Walsh number 13 for whand um you you mentioned the uh player on defense I looked at the last few scores they've had three shutouts or two shutouts in the last four games and uh only given up one goal in the other two yep they played Bellingham won eight nothing and then the game before that North High School that was not a league game but they won seven nothing with that one not too happy about that that's prob Alma ma framing him North well oh no maybe it wasn't Frum no here's Graham down the left side he's going to look for an opportunity to cut it back and cross cross is deflected out of bounds for a clocker throw good job by Babino to stop the crossing kick couldn't have picked better weather for this time of year nice little breeze it's about 70° once again Babino breaks it Up Kicks up ahead contested ball yeah foul on Megs there too much contact yeah with Martins Hunter Meg's one of the captains of this team in net today for the wh and warriors number 30 Harry Stein I believe unless that's uh incorrect on the score sheet our apologies this is the roster we're given with given this is what we work with good footwork by Ted ha and the other side a net for the clocker sebran fenstra he's a junior we expect probably during senior night to see Mikey Flynn the senior but tonight or today s finstra and net Michael Lerman number four for whand Cross Field for number 22 trying to get these names down William KY little bit of a late whistle but correct so free kick for the clockers sebran fster the keeper will take this one it's past half field marker so a little bit of a interesting choice I was going to say do you do you see that often I I defer to you wow heck of a kick that one's out of bounds intended for the head of Hunter Megs you see that sometimes but usually when it's closer towards the the goal towards the Box mhm little interesting decision we saw that a a lot actually um with the girls game a couple nights ago I'm guessing they they have a lot of confidence in sein's leg Yeah knowing that he's really not going to Mish hit one and create an unforced error yeah cbr's no stranger to having a hard kick playing in keeper as his brother AR in finstra who graduated last year playkeepers for this team as well here's Bento finds Andre Costa this is to keishan on that Left Flank tries to keep it inbounds he does Kean still a possession the cross and in Victor ad Andrade did he get the deflection on it I know it's hard to tell it might have been enough just to screen the goalie yeah so hard to tell maybe a little tap in for Andrade but maybe kesan Graham with the with was it was it Kean right I believe so yeah either kesan or Andrade so a quick goal the clockers a one- nothing lead as the Warriors come back good play by Dean vento to use his body to prevent the whan player from getting it as fster is able to get that one away from pressure yeah it's Max wsh number 13 for whand pressuring the ball there along with Riley Martins one of the senior captains on Wayland this one Su is going to try to race him behind he's fast and a header towards the keeper just in time he tried doing that looked like he didn't get the touch he wanted from the head so did it again ended up in the Keeper's hands that's gavron with the ball gavron another one of the captains for the Warriors up to Martins using his body to Shield the player clockers just trying to hold that formation it's difficult when all when they just keep sitting back from this possession playing possession based soccer we see a bunch of Varsity Sports varsity teams do that something different that you see from the JV games when you watch JV plays more of the kick and Chase while as do the pros The Varsity players usually tend to play more possession based soccer any reason in particular is it a conditioning thing is it just it's actually because they expect to not be able to steal the ball from a player one-on-one so they sit back and wait for the the mental mistake or the pass mistake mhm oh there's a aggressive hit out of bounds and Babino looks like he's going to have a corner kick Brady Babino a sophomore on the whan squad he's going to defer to number seven Teddy hag whan crowded around finstra inside the box wow good job by fster to close the angle off and uh shut out number 13 that was Max Walsh who tried to head it in it looked like it was going in for a second but great save from fster to add another corner kick this time haage will play it short trouble that's trouble just like that tie game here at the plateau 1 and that was Max Walsh picking up the loose ball driving it into the net no chance there for uh sebron panra widl and Ramsey tried to get the ball out at the same time they had a little bit of a discussion to see who was going to try to go for that ball they both ended up going and that might be a reason why the ball wasn't fully cleared out of bounds Clocky up ahead to Gavin Andrade with it Costa to Costa they're both brothers Andre number 31 the senior and qua number 20 he's younger I believe he's a sophomore so Babino being pressured a little bit here's Souza staying with it easy save for the keeper good confidence Builder I think it's his first real save Dave boots it ahead looking for he Wick able to get a thigh on that one good play by him as he's with it again leaves it off to Ramsey Wii wins it back again Martin nice Nifty kick behind to that's he cleared Away by ashin who's that number 44 do we do you know Jamie Draper Jamie Draper a senior he been playing for this varsity team for all four years headed Away by Kean Graham out of bounds for another Warrior throw in seems like it's a uh it's a good opponent to have on the schedule this time of year couple weeks you know before the playoffs definitely a high quality opponent non- League game yeah and if they can win this game that will definitely build some confidence for senior Knight later next week yeah and the injuries as unfortunate as they are give some of these other players a chance to uh sharpen their skills and be ready to come off the bench because you never know what's going to happen this team is so deep when it comes to their players as a through ball from Costa to Ramsey did not have the angle on that one I thought he might just I know the ball's rolling fast I thought he might just try and pop it over yeah he looks like he underestimated the speed of the ball yeah good call I think that's exactly roll a tiny bit too fast and off the toe of him a good play by Harry Stein to come out and just take the play away he really didn't have much he could do other than challenge him yeah Ramsey another player has been playing on this varsity team for four years it's a little bit unlike him to see something like that usually a sure goal scorer that's a couple nice plays that Riley Martins has made on those deep balls deep kicks Graham able to save it as he's looking for a through ball to ca yeah Babino controlling it but ashin right back Dean vento just being all over the field for this clocker team wow dangerous play by Stein fortunate Bento to Graham Costa takes it from him a Costa down the left side he has the pace can he get across he's going to put that on his good for the right foot cross intended for Andrade too high for him it rolls out of bounds for a Warriors K throw in quality chance good job beating Clocky down in the corner to get a good look on that Crossing kick Subs speaking of Subs Marathon Deli back to sponsoring us this year get them uh for the open house Tuesday night at the station Nathan wilick the defenseman senior Subs out subbing in is Thiago Jacob Miss touch from Costa now Warriors in possession of the ball yeah that's number 14 Yemen another one of the captains for whand Yem again middle of the field patiently back to Crawford Susan keeps it in bounds Susan Ramsey again another miscommunication ends up whing ball again going down the field Gavin broken up broken up by Arona another senior good play by ha to switch the field gets it over to Clocky he's got a little space to work with stays Warriors ball clock GNA throw it in so the clocker is 83 and oh a misplay but fortunately nobody close by and clockers 83 and two hopefully if they get the win this game this would help them a lot in getting a chance to have a home game in the playoffs what do you think that would feel like for the players to have a home game in the playoffs for the first time in a bunch of years obviously that's you know their their goal at this point is to you know win as many as they can to get that that option um they made the playoffs last year and they uh did they win one game in the playoffs in advance I believe so but I think their goal this year is uh Championship all the way yeah and the year before that they just missed got the 32nd I believe out of the 32 spots or 33rd out of the 32 just missed by one spot yeah so if there's 32 games I would think they might have a home game ranked number 10 so you'll have uh 16 games in the opening round but if they can be top eight then that would guarantee two home games should they advance but it's a it's a nice setting here at the plateau as opposed to where they you used to play at the old high school which is now the middle school will uh the Walker field so this is definitely a nice venue yeah you can definitely feel the support of more of the students here rather than maybe Middle School fans that you don't know yeah and the parents are always big supporters obviously uh but if they can get a night playoff game under the lights I think they'll get a good turnout because the students really do support their players yeah and you have to imagine that one would be here at the high school job by finra ball was intended for Daniel Turner a senior couldn't get there time Miss q but no damage there by babano gets it up to heg Arona with a good move but that one out of bounds substitution for whand Captain Tyler Martin coming out getting uh Riley Martins excuse me getting arrest into the game number didn't even see the number we we'll get him later yens number four Mike Lerman for the Warriors mag's able to pick that one up that's the new player Colton allart number nine whan is the fresh legs in the game 22 minutes to go in the first half one to one yeah a couple new faces we didn't announce going in for the clockers we have aack number 10 we have Josh Steinberg with the ball over there he just lost it we mentioned Lucas Arona already playing that right back position and Tyler Peña in as well in the Midfield Steinberg chasing after this one put some pressure and a foul will be called on him good job by Babino once again using his body to shield and forcing the foul so a little less than halfway through the first half here at the plateau 1-1 very good game so far we have to see who's going to put on the pressure and score the that next goal who do you think they caught Gavin grabbing the Jersey yes Costa decides to play it quickly this one all the way over for Steinberg nice give and go Ace Shack able to win possession here's Costa chip over for Ramsey will he have the space [Music] no exciting game and a well played game not a lot of uh sliding tackles and everything like that you know not a ton of whistles they playing well yeah both teams look pretty calm and collected holding their formations pretty well it's going to be a weird bounce Ramsey able to head that one to aack not able to keep it in bounds though Teddy ha trots off the field gets a little breather replaced by John Garcia freshman Garcia nice through ball being played for whan the shot is saved by San fster went right at his feet able to fall on that one good good kick by Liam frenzel number eight whand just couldn't change the direction and sebron did a good job Clocky just kicks it out of bounds gives Ashley a chance to reset their offense can you see who's throwing it in from way over there well looks like Noah Ramsay's going over there to throw it in why does he get an orange shirt on over that's a ball boy that would explain it Daniel this is why you are so integral to the the broadcast these uh for a soccer rookie like myself I haven't played since sixth grade I think ice shack taking a long shot that one wide so we were talking earlier you played um organized ball with a lot of these uh players yeah I played for two years with this team up uh in high school high school yep freshman and JV did you play any Varsity no no varsity but got to know know these players very well some of them just like Daniel Turner up taught number 54 one of my good friends nice speaking Daniel Turner usually wears number 22 you might notice these pink jerseys for breast cancer awareness the numbers are a little bit different so if you're going off numbers and see your player or a player wearing a number you do not recognize that is why yeah shout out to uh coach Thiago Moda for personally writing down the roster with the updated numbers shout out to Mr Anderson for organizing these games for breast cancer awareness day Mr Anderson our athletic director at the high school Turner tried to run in on it but able to be taken up by the keeper just in time yeah Stein had to do a little calculation as to uh how fast the ball was going to get there Lucas Velasquez coming in another senior as Noah Ramsey will take a quick break good no call by The Ref as Babino getting a little physical with the Ashley and clocker Thiago with it tries to switch the field does so good here's Arona not able to stay with it the Draper will let this one out he's coming into the game for Ashlin Kean Graham coming into the game for another senior Josh Steinberg and there's Enrique a junior we did not mention come in Enrique finds Daniel Turner back to Enrique the cross no one had to be there aack dribbling with it as paa calmly keeps possession of the ball Mis Touch by Velasquez they give it away to this whan team a slip from Draper it's the captain Gavin trying to take it all by himself one on four and Mags able to take away the ball but a foul call that was a questionable call not a lot of contact there not a lot of contact but I think the senior Captain realized that was his only hope so we kind of little bit of acting you don't you don't see the acting like you do at the professional level that's for sure he'd still be down if this was uh professionals so John Portage number 10 to take it for this whan team everyone crowded on that far side of the Box going to run in near that back post it's short actually Clocky peppered by three Ash players foul Tyler pñ sell that one pretty well play quickly to Arona and now looking for Daniel Turner with speed that ball out of bounds for a corner kick substitution for the clockers Daniel Turner takes a seat Arthur Souza back on the field yeah I was drinking water Gavin again chasing it down for whan trying to do it all by himself head of steam just one bounce too much broken up by Lucas Arona great play by him to switch the side of the field that he was defending on and get there in time and speaking of Arona he's going to take a quick break onto the field is Max Gowan throw in for the [Music] Warriors pñ with the ball tries to find Souza good jump from this whan defense Zan Miles number 20 for whand so his first touches of the game is Yemen able to hold possession looking for somewhere to go good switch Crawford over to Lerman little errant with that dribble here's Enrique good bit of skill to keep the ball in his possession lays it off to kesan Graham this one in behind to soua just over the net Stein able ble to just get a hand on it and deflect it upwards just enough so we've seen it all day we also saw it a bunch with the girls seems the clockers really take pride in their through balls in behind Souza with a good opportunity we had Ramsay with a couple Turner with a couple great play there so actually there was no deflection on it so a goal kick yeah good point check the replay but Riley Martin back into the game mag's able to run onto that one played out of bounds yeah good job by Garcia for whan to force that clearing kick out of bounds substitution lierman taking a quick break on the field is Clocky Yemen Glides through the uh Ashley defense has a little bit of an angle just a little too far in front to uh get the centering kick the timeout has been called on the field 1040 to go in the first half and a one-1 matchup and an exciting one-1 game definitely an entertaining game well played both teams had a had a few opportunities yeah so the clockers their next game will be against deim at the Ashlin Middle School at 5:45 Tuesday the 22nd is that senior night no it's going to be uh next Saturday is now senior night it's going to be a 5 5:30 game something like that check your check your schedules check the Ashlin High School site it changed originally but they wanted to do senior night technically at night and I believe Josh is doing the call I'm I'm not available uh I think well we'll figure out but it will be I believe we will stream that live on waca so if you can't make it down to the field please uh tune in speaking of waa if you love listening to these broadcasts we are having an open house this Tuesday at our facility if you want to come in learn about some of the equipment what we do how to how to prepare for games yeah October 22nd Tuesday 68 um I think they've just unveiled their new podcast so they're going to do a live demonstration of a podcast any of the folks around town that are interested in having um access and using the equipment more than more than happy to uh have you come down and uh introduce yourselves should be fun Marathon Deli sponsoring the uh food and I can't remember who's sponsoring some of the drinks I you'll have to uh forgive me clock ke clears that out of bounds Marathon Deli sponsoring today's game figur if I uh mentioned them enough I might be able to grab a fre free sub on my way home this ball played in behind soua trying to run onto it Nifty play by Babino Enrique able to hold possession of it that's Garcia getting it ahead Martin's trying to track it down fight for the ball foul a little bit of a late whistle andri very very late I did did you think it was a foul or I did I did see the foul I saw him go down but I I thought it was a little uh less egregious than he made it out to be we also saw the referee holding that whistle up to his mouth for a couple seconds I believe he was playing advantage that's where the foul called they let it play out to see if that team can re the retain possession they did not clockers got possession so called the foul the free kick for the Warriors and that's Portage looping it ahead Ash land Pena with a good excuse me that was Vasquez with a good through ball Enrique trying to find Souza nice play by Kevin Clocky on that header ball in the air Megs fighting with it with Walsh who's that over there number six okay Henry leer so the worriors starting to put a little bit of pressure on this defense of the clockers ball staying in the attacking half for longer than we've seen for the past couple minutes of the half Riley Martins hits the turf again have to see if that's a pattern that uh continues yep free kick for the Warriors fenstra tries to go out able to clear it away and out of bounds for a cler's throw in good job from Tyler Peña to clear that one out substitutions for the warrior side vento throws in looking for Su is able to get a head on as this Kean fight for the ball Pena with an opportunity tries to find the through ball to Velasquez could not get there yeah Clocky again Kevin Clocky Souza again Arthur Souza keeps possession of the ball the cross hit the touchline it will be a goal kick so great opportunity just let that ball hang slightly too long out of bounds for a goal kick I like the no call on the contact where bab Ando went down they definitely uh both just playing the ball pñ and Velasquez take a break as Andre Costa and Noah Ramsey back on the field so two seniors get subbed out for two seniors a lot of seniors on this team yeah I saw that they were hanging up the banners along the fence yeah yeah today was actually originally going to be senior night but obviously we are not it is not night time here at the plateau it is still homecoming weekend yeah homecoming later tonight what's on the agenda for homecoming tonight you said later tonight what does that entail uh it starts at seven it's at the high school just a square we normal semi formal dance would be okay semi- formal vento good pass to Souza but gets bodied off the ball so if you're just joining us score is one to one 5:34 to go clock running as always actually the clock will stop with 5 minutes to play at the end of the half that is because of stoage time additional time actually the clock that you see on the field is not official official right the official clock is held between the two officials they keep watch of the time and as the time hits 5 minutes stop as it did right now or it's going to go to 2 minutes actually for the first half it's 2 minutes second half is 5 minutes the officials will just keep watch on their clock add up all the time stopped for end of plays sub uh substitutions are they yelling it out like I'm not down on the field we have the headphones on but are they do they ever yell out hey 30 seconds is that no no so you just they just tell you what the additional time is and then you they don't actually always do that usually they won't tell anyone you have to ask them for the time unlike in professionals with a hold up a board at Midfield okay saying how many minutes are added but if you want to know you really have to ask the officials okay so when it's two minutes left it could be 2:30 it could be 3 it could be whatever you just have to have an idea exactly and there haven't been many stoppages at all in this H particular matchup it's been a pretty quick uh clean half no injuries fortunately as Stein mishandles it but able to regroup y Ramsey threw it in deep into the box Stein able to pick that one up though not to Portage Riley Martin little out of position had to come back to play that Clocky Kevin clarky I believe and that's seven theore hey it's throwing me off because six and seven it's seven is H he and then Leger they both have that a or that that soft G in there both midfielders both seniors I have to focus on that Suza wins the ball little back heel from Costa didn't have as much power on it as he wanted here's Clocky leer number six over to ha Crawford all the way over to the other clock key William clock key good play by Souza running with it trying to find some pressure Stein able to get it though so playing this possession based soccer what they're trying to do is just push that defense further and further into their own area that leads to open shots close to the box but having difficult trouble getting that possession past half field yeah it seems like both teams have tighten up there's a lot more play in the middle of the field after you know the last 20 minutes or so seemed like there was a lot of back and forth really deep penetration to the first half of the yeah both teams seem to be matching each other late in this first half really really evenly matched both teams pretty they're trying not to make any mistakes that would cost them both playing conservative waiting for this first half to end Costa dribbling in he'll lay it off to Arona looking for Graham it will get to him hean with it Max Walsh chance for a Counterattack opportunity here that pass just a little lazy not yeah just bit Yeah Costa with the lazy touch there out of bounds you could hear it surprised him good play by the cameraman pass back to finstra Crawford playing it for whand resets to Babino Ying back to Babino Crawford up to Martins opportunity to hear the shot in another goal for this whale inside and it's Max Walsh again second goal of the game this whale inside caught this clockers defense lacking no doubt that will be on the uh the whand uh Warriors highlight reel that was perfect Qui passing and like you said a little bit maybe uh Ashley and fall well what do you think fell asleep a little bit late in the half only probably a couple seconds left in the half they're going to try to do a quick play here off the kickoff as we see our hona coming up they going to do a quick boot yeah but wh was so patient setting that up going back to Babino a couple times and then just bang bang bang four perfect passes yeah and uh Martins well playing possession leads the defense to not go as quick when it turns to switches and stuff like that as first half [Applause] ends and an exciting one here yeah we're have to see what the clockers are able to do coach Thiago Moda talking to his team at halftime see what tactical changes they make you want to run down give them any uh pointers anything we saw up here just don't fall asleep all right yeah that was a uh perfect setup yeah 2-1 the end of the first half Rob any closing thoughts before we head off for a couple minutes now it's uh entertaining entertaining game by all means as we said before we know Ashland is not at 100% resting some of their uh some of their starters that have you know not chronic injuries but just enough as they look forward to the playoffs and a good seating but we'll see if the uh you mentioned it the the depth of the team if some of the other players step up and pull off a win certainly certainly has been fun so far yep well again how long are the halves uh 40 minute halves around the break the break in between half okay so somebody wants to throw in a hot pocket or something or rund down a marathon Deli or Townhouse Pizza either one now's a good time to do it come back we'll be live in about five minutes so 21 here at the plateau you're watching waca

Wayland Warriors right now varsity soccer Ashland is losing one to2 trying to put some pressure on this Warrior side get a goal back hopefully get a win on their record to help their playoff chances getting a home game at playoffs I'm Daniel vetstein with me is Rob silver so if you just joined us it was an exciting first half Ashland went out to the early lead about uh 10 minutes in maybe did you see what time they scored I did not but it looked like a nice tip from good chance here the goal score for ashon was Victor Andrade had a nice tip from across from kesan Graham still applying some pressure Souza trying to find the cross and ends up being a corner kick yeah William CLK he knocked it out of bounds so Ashland with a scoring opportunity Costa to play it short to his brother back to Andre Costa trying to find the cross inside Ramsey with the shot header from Costa wide still opportunity WID lick cross inside Graham wasn't ready for it and finally cleared Away by The Warriors so that's the good chances and pressure that this clocker team wants as a Counterattack opportunity for the Warriors yeah Gavin and Walsh Walsh with the two goals for whan number 13 looking to get the hattrick good play by WID L just to get that one out of bounds and that's always the risk when you uh bring a lot of pressure a lot of uh offense to your scoring zone or what do you call that attacking position attacking thank you I knew there was a better term near the boxer yep you got to take some chances Mikey Flynn switches into the keeper the senior we had sebron fster playing the first half he's a junior now Mikey Flynn playing in net Flynn took a break from soccer last year chose to play football played receiver said it helped him with his hands for this season feels more comfortable in the net the shot is wide so a goal kick you got this K strong start for the clockers for this F second half really hoping to get a goal back quick to give them an opportunity to hopefully win this game game and this is the the other goalie excuse me is this Flynn Mikey Flynn yes Megs heads it down still in possession of whan though as get swarmed by vento and Graham nice onew with Graham and Costa kishan with space he's very fast plays it to Souza a good slide tackle yeah got all ball right there great play we talking about that in the first we didn't see much of that no need for it Brady Babino great job that's how you draw it up I think players try to avoid slide tackling especially on Turf because Turf burned but needed one there played perfectly by Brady babano imagine it doesn't feel great on the Grass either but definitely the derf is worse it's actually not that bad when you do it on grass all right I'll have to try that this weekend I got time just don't tear anything okay it's funny you mention that I I did the Jimmy fund walk a couple weeks ago I think I ended up doing about 12 miles wow that's amazing because well I started at the 10K but I walked back to meet the people that were going halfway develops here um and then I went bowling last Friday night oh got a little chance Kean grah with an opportunity just too far in front of him sweeped up by Stein great opportunity for the clockers I was hurting more from three strings of bowling than I was from the 12 mile walk 12 miles very impressive yeah our team raised uh Team silver strong raised almost uh I think we're at 20,000 as a team the generous donors how long did it take uh the walk yeah you know it I think it was about three hours oh brilliant play opportunity and just wi good job by Stein cutting off the angle it's where I started at like 10:15 then I waited a half an hour then I started walking back on the course to meet up with some of the people that started at the halfway mark I think we finished about 2:30 3 o' yeah yeah you walk you walk about a 20 minute mile is actually what 18 20 minutes so good event hie came back my daughter came up from Florida that corner kick wide will play another got deflected speaking of mile time Kean Graham number 23 I remember he posted a time about two years ago where he did a three mile run in about 15 minutes that is extremely impressive might have to talk to uh Kevin Anderson about this Hornet problem Yellow Jackets Mackie kotab by camera person's got a ladybug on his back that's good luck WID lick steps up with a good boot Andrade the goal scorer able to keep possession here's Ramsey looking for the cross easy save by Stein it was intended for Kean Graham near that back post Stein's definitely settled down looked a little shaky on giving up that first goal and even a uh yeah handled rebound Stein didn't actually have many opportunities early in that first half started to get some that's where he calmed down as he said yeah good bit of dribbling the Costa got got fouled there little St clocker ball Draper will take it for the clockers this one high near the edge of the Box headed down and out of Harm's Way allart for whand keep bounds vento put some pressure on him forc mistake vento plays it two Hunter Megs one of the captains the other Captain Felipe is injured taking a rest another foul that one on bardage Dean vento Babino nice little little push oh first injury looks like it must have got stepped on yeah looks like it Babino down a yellow card given to Arthur soua that means he has to step out of the game okay and that may even have been in retaliation it was when H Babino came in there and uh it might have been soua is it soua going off yeah Arthur soua he I saw him extend his hands as he kind of pushed soua away ref didn't see it but I'm sure he didn't step on him intentionally or did he is that something you guys would do usually not but right I don't know temper could get high in a game like this as Turner comes on little interesting it looked like they were down a man with the with Souza taking a break with that yellow card little miscommunication on the bench Turner out there though Andale changes handful of Subs one of them being Dimitri rosakis who just played a JV game on the field for varsity as well Riley Martin always does a great job using his body Hunter mags plays it to Costa kesan Graham again Graham with plenty of pace finds Turner can Turner find Graham again tries to stay with it and Babino able to get that one in whan possession job by he keeping it in bounds Babino able to step up as Thiago Jacob lets this one out to keep it clocker ball just 10 minutes being played in this second half still down one opportunities though Andre Costa a key to this clocker Midfield as Thiago Jacob fighting for it it looks like it might have taken a touch off of him but they they give it clocker ball pressure from Pena wow Andre Costa again plays it to Lucas Arona crossed in near that back post Kean Grahams on it oh he missed ball soared right past him it was a brilliant cross from Lucas Arona that one will definitely haunt him if the score stays the way it is Arona Costa to Pena Pena lost it oh there's a bump it's Garcia who is with the ball he's a freshman John Garcia for this whale inside good block by the table strategically set up Clocky throws it in tended for Martins Martin able to track it down Babino just he's so good at anticipating and and being in the right place yeah that's why he's a captain Kean Graham with it is he going to find Turner he tried to good read by y Yem Draper with it deep in their own side dper steps up misses the ball and a counter opportunity sler ha ha haage on that left foot Mikey able to save in Mikey Flynn so three-on-one opportunity as as Jamie Draper stepped up leaving an open opportunity thankfully nothing happened there Garcia clock key setting it up out of bounds miles kicks it out of bounds Babino again comes up take control to mark looking for a through ball Arona able to get ahead on it off sides was the call interesting they don't usually call that one because he never touched the ball they usually let possession play even at the high school level is it something okay yeah but either way clocker ball maybe even preferred by this clock team to get a free kick oh yeah Flynn took it another foul called chance for a set piece opportunity here they're going to crowd that far side of the Box going to try to see if Costa can bend that in near that back post get a head on it probably looking for Hunter Megs [Music] Yago Jacob with a big touch able to keep possession of it but then lost it ever dangerous always dangerous Martins and yeah you can see ha was pretty upset about that one wide open on that right flank Martins just didn't see it went for the through ball too far Turner takes it down could not find the through ball to anyone Lucas sarona a great bit of footwork babo again stepping up to clear it away Noah Ramsey playing that right wing position here's Costa he's going to lead looking for Turner to H y that one out of bounds clocker throwing substitutions for the clocker deckin vento back in Arthur Souza and lith S and Henry leer takes a seat and gabin comes back in that's not good for Ashland Arthur Souza with that yellow he's going to have to be careful another one and they will be down 10 men the coach give him a little uh extra talking to before he sends him back on the field just as a reminder definitely and I know even if one one yellow card was given if it didn't even play impact to the game at all you definitely feel it next practice when you're running for it do any of those carry over when you get yellow cards or anything like that or is it per game I'm not sure I know in the pros if you get a yellow card and you get a yellow card the next game you continue playing but that next game after that you cannot play not sure since it's only high school here but the difference is if you get a yellow card you have to take a seat for a couple minutes here and the pros you can keep playing [Music] yeah but either way probably some conditioning for that one after this paa good through ball to Declan vento looking inside wow y good job breaking that up no one was there except a bunch of whan Defenders actually FIFA's been experimenting with putting some other cards into the game like a a blue card they were experimenting with an orange card but doesn't look like either of those are going to get past going to stay the normal red and yellow I always like the wild draw four Mikey Flynn asserting [Music] himself little more than halfway to play in the second half Walkers need a goal to tie this up again they're playing without two of their senior star players Captain Filipe and Pedro bores both key components to this team Miles trying to keep it in keep the scoring chance alive for whand Costa that was a little bit of a wasted clear pagee great play Clocky couldn't Chase it down subs for both teams do you eat a marathon Deli at all I've never tried it actually surprisingly I have never tried it I guess I have to give it a try well I mean I think they have 60 different sandwiches wraps paninis so should be able to find something you're looking okay oh good play by Andrade so Enrique what's your what's your favorite what's your favorite type of sub uh you I've never really been into that sort of Deli but if I if I had to choose one it probably be a pastrami sandwich oo interesting they probably make a really good Panini pami Panini tend to eat healthy good yeah I try to gabin chasing it back down Andrade trying and to stay with it he does a good job with that there's Enrique some plays it paa played quickly not the correct choice plenty of space and opportunity he had and he had the player down the wing yeah was that is that is that the guy with the yellow yep that is soua he has to be very careful that w't be surprised if coach Thiago takes him out of the game just for to settle him down a little bit talking with the referee has to be careful what he says I didn't really see what he did I he doesn't seem to think he did anything too egregious well the other ref over on the sideline you can see coach Bill AMS very upset no card though yeah it's fortunate a lot of times you see the refs trying uh take over the game and they'll make a call which glad he didn't do it had a little conversation instead nobody got hurt just a little extracurricular activity after the keeper had the ball all right hay trying to chase it down good teamwork clockers got space down the wing Kaa decides to switch it to the other side of the field Andrade plays it back towards Draper just good possession the clockers usually play a 433 formation with the two Wingers and the central Striker but as they're down you maybe start to think about switching that to putting two up top maybe switch it to a a 424 or something where you can get a little more attacking I know that mhm I know that Noah Ramsay is a very good Striker tend to play on the wing though this season as we are down to 17 minutes in the game clock has scored early in the first half haven't scored since two Max Walsh goals giving whan the lead good play by Costa again just one of the key components to this team in the Midfield controls it Thiago Jacob staying with it looking back post there we go Josh the play was blown dead before the volley off sides y Enrique was off sides time out a 2-1 they usually stop the clock for a timeout right okay yeah yeah there we go 2-1 clockers down 16 minutes to play in the game they need a goal to tie it to hopefully get a win overall in get their record to 93 and2 looking for a home game in the playoffs right now ranked 10th they are going to be in the playoffs I think 10 10 will give them a home right it should but they they want to get more yeah they love to be it yeah to back they want to play the lowest seed possible for us that will probably be here if they do have a home game rather than the high school so hopefully waa will cover that yeah I'm sure we can scramble crew together I will certainly recommend you on the call if you're available I'd remove myself from the Rost I'm more than happy to uh this is definitely a strong strong thank you sport yeah so they have a ERS have a game against dead at the middle school yeah what's the last game of the season does you get that over there yeah let's see the last game of the season cuz they start playoffs pretty quickly is going to be Tuesday the 29th it's against hopkington at the high school here okay that's 6 p.m.
