jared were even born yet 97 now jared wasn't even born been coaching for 24 years coaching duties offense and defensive line and he is the press box coach with coach kendall i believe he goes over the offensive side of the ball when he's up in the coaches box in the press box teaching middle school high school pe and weights his hobbies include reading exercise football and family his prep before a game how defense aligns to formations who is their best player on defense what gets the defense out of what they want what to do superstitions always wear either my 80s cleveland clav shirt or my beat desales rival t-shirt from high school would have never known any of that his favorite win as a coach state semifinal win in 2006 kirkwood beats rockhurst first st louis team to win it in rockhurst in 20 years his favorite thing about coaching connecting with players and building relationships and that is coach pat baker with the columbia eagles offense and defensive side of the football with the linemen jared three minutes to go until after until the halftime's over we start the second half we talked earlier we wanted to rebound after last week's game now we need to rebound after the first half too yeah i think coming out we didn't really have a good start not a lot of energy on the columbia side of the ball we saw a quick turnover for the eagles that then led to a quick salem touchdown [Music] it looked like as the eagles were out of energy and there was no enthusiasm whatsoever on that sideline but i guess in that second quarter something kicked in got the ball back got a couple turnovers got the offense going on a great drive set up by adam webemeyer's third and 11 great catch across the middle of the field and then we just had a great drive going there and capped it off with a touchdown and offensive line has looked a lot better in this first half absolutely i think we did turn it around by the time it was all said and done as we'd like to continue doing that i believe we do get the football i think that's what the conclusion we came up with get out start early get another touchdown get all the momentum onto your side that'll get you your 20 points and you're 20 to seven you're off on your seven so that's out of the question my 35 to 14 prediction not looking too good either though it's still possible though so columbia is going to try to get going once again like to thank everybody last week we mentioned st baldrick's up at aces wild like to thank everybody for coming up for the one day total i guess it was over a couple weeks though that money was raised over 45 000 we believe was raised for team snow angels goes to st baldrick's and that is all for childhood cancer dan wolfel is the leader of that terry bradshaw that looks like terry bradshaw doesn't it you just got to give me trouble for that i could pull it off a little bit better and he did let everybody know it did not stay though i could not leave it on there so uh dan wolfel he started team snow angels 19 years ago he's now raised over three hundred thousand dollars for childhood cancer in st baldrick so like to thank everybody who donated that who came out to that and it's penciled in for march 26 2022 so we had i don't know probably 30 middle school kids high school kids i believe a couple parkview so we had a little bit of everybody up there so it's a great thing that the kids all get involved in and kids i have a lot of fun with it too would you ever do it uh i i well i did get my hair cut back in like sixth and seventh grade eighth grade basketball whenever we had to get it cut for coach wernberg but uh yeah i think i'd do it you do it yeah i think i'd do it all right put your money where your mouth is next year then we'll call that a challenge right now was that your mommy still cutting your hair oh absolutely thank you joyce hairfare for coming out and and cutting the hair with us that's enough talk about that let's get back to football football so salem they're a little bit noisier this time out coming out onto the field coaches before the game they were definitely getting into it a little bit too whenever we come walking through we did the pre-game interview their coaches were ready to fire it up to go a little bit different than what we see out of coach horner and coach germain yeah definitely kicking off for the wildcats [Music] and little back deep for the eagles london moving around as the ball gets kicked off and it will go over everybody's head uh-oh to about the five-yard line where it will be picked up by number 21 kyle mcconaughey he's going to try to make something out of nothing but he's not going to get anything pick up that's a little room over here on this left side if you would have kept running but got stopped up and tried reverse and field didn't work out very well for mcconaughey but columbia offense comes out with the ball in about the 14 yard line sophomore donovan dominic vagli comes back out with the eagles offense under center for the eagles based on the huddle situation here not very often when we go in a huddle and not go under center and that's what we're going to do coming out of halftime and heavy i believe that schroeder and poultry in the backfield with mcconaughey going to be a handoff just going to go power right up the middle there we go kyle mcconaughey go kyle's got a lot of room ahead of him he's going to make one man miss and that's about it he's going to go from the 15 all the way down to the wildcat 43 and good for about a 40-yard gain that's what we like to see love to see heaven that's probably the first big run we've seen from mcconaughey all year absolutely he hasn't really got much space i know he's he's got some hands every time he runs up the middle you know he gets his hands on him and sadly he gets brought down but um great job to bounce it outside there and when he gets an open space he's got some breakaway speed like he like he showed there bounced it outside and got him some room and great great play by uh coach horner to call uh 21's number so now this time you go out be a wide receiver kyle kyle we'll put london little back here now he's going to have something to do he's going to try to get up the middle he's not going to get anything out of it the ball carrier someone missed the puck mitchell that last play we had a wall of people and kyle are in the football we had a wall of people with a huge hole in that play like you said somebody missed a block and just one man can that can cause a ruckus for uh for an offense if one man misses a block shuts down your whole often so it's definitely really important for these linemen to stay on their blocks and drive their feet second down 12 from the wildcat 45 yard line doubles running back right dom looks to the left and it's going to be nearly picked two train went from being receiver to defensive back and made a great play to avoid the interception didn't get his hand on that that could have gone for uh for a pick six so great job there by uh two training to play a little defense there on a a miss miss throw there by begley salem sending one guy in third down and 12 for the eagles trips to the right side running back right dominagley's going to roll to the right side he's got ribs open and he's got a first down great job with making a catch get into the sticks getting the first down with the contact also passes complete to number 23.
yeah that's pretty nice earlier tonight we got with coach kendall and we had conversations about special teams this week something we don't always talk about coach kendall this week before the salem game coach kendall you got a two-headed monster in the backfield with all kickoffs and punts in that with uh london little and uh kyle mcconaughey how much fun is your job just getting those two guys the ball and having fun with them they make my job super easy you know it's fun to be able to put them back there and know that anytime they get that ball in their hands uh we could score a touchdown you know any any given play they got that ball they could put six on the board absolutely and then so that's a fun play yeah the not so fun play is the p-a-t that nobody really pays attention to last year with nick corner this year with wibbs not too many missed pats uh where does that start do you start that's i know that's back when you were going to college and that year that kind of guy how do you get that transformed and how do you be so successful on that you know with wibbs this year he's been doing it for four years now um that's just consistency you know it's muscle memory it's a lot like a golf shot and wibb's the easy kid to work with um he does all the work you know it's just fine tuning things fair enough our 45-minute bus ride you come off a loss last week debris central how do you get the guys going uh this week on a on a different week it's a business trip anytime you take a road trip um they're out here they're ready to go you can see it in pregame but it's just a business trip fair enough good luck on this business trip today and get the job done so we talk about having london little all the time and how great of an athlete he is you got mcconaughey back there too and like we saw last week against brie central you stack the guys on top of each other you don't give out your hand and then you kind of let those guys go be athletes and go get the football wherever the ball is kicked off in a kickoff situation yeah especially that's something that we've uh we've said the last two years with london little definitely on the kickoff return side of the ball i mean if you get him in open space he's he can do it he can pretty much do anything he can take it to the house at any time so i bet it's nice for coach kendall and coach horner to have a guy like london little and just to get the ball in his hands and see him do his magic is pretty nice absolutely and something that we always say whenever there's a uh a pat about it to be said or about to be taken good snap good hold good kick that's crucial last week we missed the first one or we didn't even go for it i believe so i mean you put yourself in a bind right there and then you put yourself in a bad spot when you have to go for two later in the game absolutely yeah so then what's our last thought today we gotta have a prediction for tonight's game yeah i'm gonna go uh 20 to seven columbia eagles i'm gonna take uh i think we're going to come out i think we're going to coach horner is going to want to sling it around a little bit so i'm thinking that's that's going to be his mindset coming in so i'm going to say 20 to 7 eagles i'm going to go 35-14 got to go with the athletes i think we're going to put up put up some points i think we might give up some points but when it boils down to it hopefully our athletes can out athlete them and get the ball down the field and see if we can get a win absolutely we're about eight minutes away from kickoff we're going to send it to a break and we will be back right after the national [Music] anthem welcome to jim fix field welcome back ladies and gentlemen to jim fink field and salem wildcats in the columbia eagles get ready for a week three match up here in the cokia conference jared what do you got for your predictions are the uh the keys to the game so the keys to the game tonight definitely uh over the past few weeks we've seen as we said earlier dominic vaguely getting a lot of tackles 14 tackles leading the team in tackles this year so something coming in we definitely need our front seven to play better our front four and our three linebackers need to step up get some more tackles and just open more lanes for uh these linebackers to make plays and the other one is uh keep the salem offense off the field our defense needs to come out and get the ball in our offensive hand so we can get it in our athletes hands and let them run and go to work i agree with you there we had opportunities to get our offense back on the field last week like we said and it wasn't working for us salem coming out on the field now we got fireworks fireworks taking off from the baseball field neat little neat little twist they were supposed to have a little banner that they ran through but uh i think somebody pulled it a little hard when they were trying to stretch it took a tumble salem's going to come out green pants green tops green helmets columbia's going to come out white bottom white top white helmets as we say under the sun we will be staring into the sun usually we can't see around the walls in the press box we can't see with the sun this week pretty nice view up here though absolutely we will send it over to the salem wildcats band for the national anthem we would be back right after that ladies and gentlemen please rise in harder posture as the marching wildcats lead us with the blade of the national anthem under the direction of drum majors chloe beale and hayden hartwig [Music] um [Music] foreign [Music] so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a very nice rendition of the national anthem by salem's marching band it's very quiet right here alex the salem wildcats fight song now jared looking over at our sideline not at night that uh columbia traveled too well usually got the fence lined up at least i counted about 60 people there on that sideline so i guess everybody wants to listen to our wonderful broadcast oh yeah we're the everybody's always waiting for us on fridays absolutely make sure you let us know where you're listening from where you're watching from leave a message on facebook instagram youtube let us know where you're coming from we will be getting ready here shortly [Music] now did you ever play salem or was this after you were the first year we played them i was actually a senior so um we played them at home didn't really know what to expect i mean um coming into your conference i mean if playing a team for the first year you never really know what to expect so um the frequent part it was it was pretty fun i think we won 40 49 nothing something like that so you [Music] salem just held a moment of silence for a student that just passed away today and another brother was on the football team i believe they said was a sophomore last time we were up here was a thursday after evening when they had torrential downpours coming so they said hey we're not going to play on friday let's move it up to thursday and you look down here to our left side there's a big goalie going all the way around the football field if they get any sort of rain they're going to have some issues down here yeah it looks like we're in a uh it's like a bowl or a pit almost but um and if you could push out of bounds you better watch an ankle because it definitely roll an ankle over there on that absolutely that left pylon back here next to us here it almost looks like it is going downhill at the very last second so like you said if somebody has to run over they're not going to be able to stop and uh get too much time there i can't prepare tonight alex i got my gloves i got my hat not not going to be uh too cold your hoodie your jacket your gloves your head i've got a long sleeve t-shirt and a police i'm a little envious of you right now yeah sun's about to go down so it's about to get a little chillier well that's enough talk about pregame football it's eagle football time 23 adam wibbenbeyer whip coming into the season getting pretty used to him just booting it into the end zone here for us and uh giving us great field position for the defense to start over whitby steps up he's going to send it left to right and he sends it deep where it looks like it will be caught and it's going to be muffed at about the goal line columbia on the good pursuit they got about the 15-yard line number two is going to get away spin around keep his feet moving and he's going to get out past the 25 yard line kickoff return we're the salem against this potent defense of the columbia eagles salem watched their film they tried to heart count right away columbia much more disciplined this week three down lineman three line for the eagles they're gonna hand the ball off to the right where they're gonna get the first down and a little bit more get to the sideline where finally number two aaron two train will bring down the running back shawn bailey after a probably 20 yard run little 28's a little quick thing i didn't i didn't expect this two outside runs outside zones to start out the game that's all they're doing running a little uh outside zone first to the left and then next next play running to the other side of the field and say let's get a first down number nine quintin purcell the quarterback 6-1-220 coming out with some size with the quarterback he's going to go under center this time doubles to the left side high formation with a tight end gonna turn around fake it to the fullback throw it to the left side going to be brought down what a great tackle by london little and another great play there by number 14 colin saigon stepping up and disrupting that play from the start and london little right there he just has a nose for the football he he saw the fake fullback dive and saw the quarterback flip it out to the left to the running back and he had a straight nose for the football flew straight down the line made a great ankle tackle [Music] in the play ball in the columbia 41.
great roll out there by uh vaguely and uh great job by wimmer to get straight right to the sticks right where he has to pick up the first down and a great outside throw where nobody else can catch it but weber by vaguely and that's going to be a first down for the eagles and another good looking drive here to start off this this second half minute and a half into the drive and we've already covered about 40 50 yards on the on the drive trips right into the boundary this time for the eagles london little in the backfield we're going to fake the hand off to london dom's going to pull try to get up the middle he's going to bust it to the outside he's got a couple blockers ahead of him and he's got enough for about a 15-yard gain in another columbia eagles first down and some of you like we've said earlier putting london little in the backfield that is a huge thing for for any defense because that is something that you have to watch out for putting london in the backfield he could run a little outside route a little flare out he could just run a little outside zone here uh off off a handoff so putting london in the backfield definitely makes it tougher for teams same formation same play for the eagles this time dom's going to get to the outside again he's going to make one man just lower his shoulder take on two three guys and now doesn't really get anything after he goes out of bounds but he put his head down with the boom he's definitely not afraid of anything that's for sure and as a sophomore that's takes a lot to stick your nose in there every play another first down for the columbia eagles brings up a first down and goal from the six yard line you look across the sideline looks to be kyle mcconaughey working with trainers right here you run a slant right here to lift the left side london's still in his running back and we're just gonna hand it off to him right up the middle he's gonna get four maybe five i don't think he's got enough for a touchdown on the same play get up on the ball you're on the same play coach horner yelling hurry up hurry up hurry up do it again run the same on the same play they didn't stop [Applause] that might be one of those where you say run the same player on the same play and just have another play backed up ready to rock it yeah or vaguely could have even pulled it there but i don't know if he would have had anywhere to run they're coming through like a freight train trips the right side this time london little is going to be the right side of the quarterback going to fake the handoff quarterback's going to keep it he's not going to get anything justin and it's going to be a gain of nothing i think i kicked the field goal here yeah go up two possessions you're up seven you're still up a touchdown kick a field goal here looks like that's what they're going to do weber and colin sagan coming out for the hold looks like we're gonna try to take this ten point lead to make it a two possession game big play here the big thing is we're not on the hash so he's got a pretty straight shot for the field goal good snap good hold kick is up and it looks to be good and it is good with a little distraction in the back yeah we have firecrackers going off over here now so that's a big play like you said puts the columbia eagles up 16-6 with eight minutes to go in the third quarter we will be back after a word from our sponsors kicking off for columbia number 23.
gonna have three down linemen they're gonna send a linebacker up close and we're gonna call him a defensive end for the purpose of it gonna hand the ball off to number 44 he's gonna go up the middle try to bend to the right side and he's gonna get popped by a defensive back we'll have to see who it is and then a swarm tackled by the rest of the defense coming in two trains and vaguely in there on the tackle and vaguely seems to be almost in every play every time i see down there and there's a tackle mate it looks like vaguely there's always there's always a white hat with number 12 on it right there so that's always good to see from a sophomore week one your dad said he wanted to bring the juice and swarm tackle it's always a good thing whenever the announcers just go a swarm of eagles they don't even know who's in the play gonna bring up a third down and four for the wildcats back to shotgun trips to the left running back to the right gonna be a bubble pass to number 22 and it's going to go over his head oh no over his head and incomplete bring up a fourth down thought it was almost a live ball but he threw it a little bit ahead of him so i don't know why they got away from the outside run there they're two straight runs and almost two straight first downs but good defense there by the eagles come up with a fourth down gonna send london little deep he's gonna be at about the 10 yard line going to be noted to say putting into the wind watch the football here too good snap going to get the punt off and it's going to be [Music] drown at the 18 and it's going to do a salem bounce and it will be down at the six yard line we will head to break where the columbia eagles offense will take over from the sixth dominic vaguely gets the start tonight the sophomore gonna take the first hand off and give it to london little who's not gonna get anything out of it nice to say london little and dominic vaguely in the backfield with kyle mcconaughey a lot of speed there in the backfield yeah definitely putting on the middle back there is definitely a big threat i think he only has three or four rush attempts this year for only 16 17 yards so definitely look for him to get the ball in his hands on the rushing attempts a lot more trips to the left side mcconaughey the pistol back going to be a straight handoff and it's going to be fumbled and it's going to be i think recovered by dom who fell on it salem looks like they're pointing there i thought wrong [Applause] can't make mistakes talk about it every week so with the fumble the wildcats will take over at about the six yard line seven yard line maybe with eight minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter of this ball game just looked like it was a fumble on the snap or on the handoff i believe getting up to the line of scrimmage yeah most likely uh just sticking it in his belly must have not clamped down on the right or had the wrong wrong arm on the on top so definitely a heartbreaker there they get the ball inside the 10 here after that fumble i think we're gonna go a little wishbone here putting everybody underneath the line of scrimmage quarterback under center gonna turn around hand it to the fullback and he's gonna get a couple of yards i don't think he's gonna get a touchdown he's gonna get about the one-yard line where he's brought down by a swarm of eagles led by oliver schroeder i think something we uh heard earlier in that interview with don vagley too said coach germain was throwing a bunch of different formations and sequences at him this week because salem comes out with a bunch of different formations that they can throw at you and run a lot of different plays now the defense has to be ready for sale i'm going to have it about the two or three yard line same formation split out to the right side quarterback under center they're going to run it the other way this time with number 34 and he's going to get in for a touchdown quick lead for the salem wildcats six nothing with 7 56 remaining in the first quarter touchdown [Applause] they're not playing with these fireworks back here they're not those are pretty loud ones red buddies always have them they always had those little ones they were just annoying those are pretty those are pretty these back here are pretty impressive looks like their quarterback is also their kicker number nine clinton purcell number nine quentin purcell is a senior kick kids no good no good we talked about it that's a big play right there now get a little bit of momentum going but you look over at the columbia sideline right now everybody's walking a lot of walking you come off a tough loss last week don't want to don't have any letdowns you got to figure out how to rebound [Applause] them [Music] a lot of room to get better this game i mean still early only what four or five minutes have gone by still get the ball back right here so uh offense needs to come out and redeem themselves in a game like this you almost want to have a guy you want to have the guy come out and you want to have him do something set the tone yeah like we just said you know a lot of guys standing around you looking in the back they're five ten yards or five six yards off the off the sideline there so want to have somebody set the tone get a big reception get a big tackle do something because all the momentum right now and all the noise is coming from right here i don't really see too much over on our side at number 28 london little kyle mechanic in london little back at the 20 yard line kicking into the wind here is purcell you got to look at that's 2 train and it's going to be a pooch kick where it's going to be caught by a columbia eagle it looks like mauldin maybe who's going to take it up to about the 39 i believe that's number 20 right yep yeah it is andrew maulding so not too bad of speed you got two train maulding mechanically and little i'll give all four of those guys a football ball oh definitely tough return offense coming back out on the field looks like uh don vega was going to stay in a quarterback with mcconaughey as his uh lone running back standing to his left for the columbia throne 49 yard line doubles for the eagles running back to vaguely's left side is mcconaughey he's going to take the snap look to the left side right away just a simple hitch caught by maulding nice move five yard route turns into 11 yard gain good for columbia eagles first down and that's just a simple hitch out there through to the outside shoulder catch the ball about five six yards downfield turn and get a couple yards now that might be coach winner right there just saying hey we're gonna go back down to basics get your first completion and let's just get this thing moving same formation this time we'll have mcconaughey be the pistol back gonna be right up the middle he's gonna get about three or four we're just going right at him right there on that player i gave the ball carrier [Music] looks like looking at the line it looks like uh they don't got too many bigger guys in us it looks like about even so up front should be a good battle of the watch london little in the slot down to the bottom with wilbermeyer mechanical pistol back gonna be another handoff up the middle he's gonna bend it to the outside do a spin move and where he's gonna get hit after a gain of three or four that spin move dangerous you're going right into somebody's running full st had a steam at you yeah that's something spinning especially with these safeties coming coming down hard downfield with their head straight down looking to make a tackle third down and two for the eagles doubles formation running back to the left going to hand the ball off nope it's going to be a fake dom's going to keep it he's going to just try to bull his way through and i think he's going to momentum should give him a first down vaguely the ball carrier tackled by wildcats number nine clinton purcell looks like they're gonna give him the first down they will move the six for the columbia eagles as dom bigly picks up a big first down there to keep the drive going for the eagles columbia wildcats 40-yard line coach warner yelling at somebody on the side or on the line of scrimmage i really couldn't hear who it was going to do a little a quick switch of the formation we're going to send london to the left side and the slot with 2 train and wibbs maulding to the right side out here by himself three down linemen for the wildcats it's going to be a toss to wibbs and another drop we've seen that a couple times this year already yeah with amir he hasn't been much of a wide receiver in the past seen him a lot of like a tight end more of a sniffer back um kind of like a jumbo guy to bring in um for more of the heavy guys but um yeah we've seen two or three drops from him this year um i mean there's still a lot still a lot of work work to be done um it's hard it's hard coming from like a lineman spot to become a skills guy so um definitely look forward to adam getting better at this position wibbs three receptions for 17 yards on the season going to hand the ball off up the middle to london little this time he's going to try to break it to the outside he's going to keep his feet moving dom's going to try to give him an extra block maybe three four yards and give yourself a little bit more of a manageable third down here [Music] and it looks like every every team we're going to run into they're going to know who number 28 is so um they're going to have at least two guys on them everywhere he goes most likely um just based off of his yards and his catches this year already i mean he's just an electric player tom's gonna take the snap gonna throw the out route here to london little who's gonna make it to about the 31 and he needed the 30.
welcome back ladies and gentlemen we're the columbia eagles take the opening drive of the second half i think it was about 85 yards in just under four minutes great start to the first half for the eagles as wibb is going to come out try to send it deep kicking just a little bit into the wind to the salem wildcats slips on the play but he still booms it to the 15 yard line where it's going to be muffed good job by the columbia eagles keeping keeping contained and not letting anything happen on the play brought down by number 11 meganson i believe he was a little slow to get up i was watching him after he kicked it he looks like he tweaked his knee a little bit after he slid on the ground on that kicking on turf is definitely kicking on grass because you got to have your footing more under you when you're in grass because you'll slip right underneath you and that turf kind of grabs your cleats better so you can kind of lunge out more but on that one he looks like he just stuck out his foot too far and slipped right on his butt doubles to the left side tight end right two wishbone look for the wildcats it's going to be a pass on the left side and it's going to be sniffed by dom couldn't get it now he's got to make up some ground and he just barely trips him up not after a 20-yard gain for the wildcats took a gamble there for a wildcat and just didn't convert looked like we were just going straight up man-to-man there and that outside receiver tried almost um what is it chop blocking on london little went low on it dominic bailey almost almost flew there uh tackled him right after he made the catch but um good job by number two caden b to get the ball and get out around the outside and pick up the first around the outside don't start singing we can talk about that in a little bit too doubles to the right side sniffer back right tight ending on the play you're gonna hand the ball off to the running back he's gonna try to go up the middle sukup says no you're not keep mitch with the ball carrier great play suck up they tried to get that edge and he was right there wouldn't let him get on the outside number 75 dawson so two years ago we made this trip up here and i told jared i said jared you're the dj today you get it boy that was that a mistake hour and 45 minutes later i didn't hear a song that i knew so today we did not let jared have the dj privileges maybe i'll get it on the way home no i don't think so no i think me and mr nickerson like the old 80s rocks that we had going oh i know there's a lot maybe i'll just turn on some red bone like price doubles to the right side going to be the same formation they're looking deep two trains going to be there two trains gonna have to make a play and he doesn't salem makes the play and it's going to be a late hit after the fact tucker out of bounds by columbia number two emeritus 2 train just gets beat right there and makes the tackle out of bounds by three yards and it's going to be an extra yardage on the play for the wildcats and there when you're a corner uh i i know what it's like whenever uh you're a little shorter than you're the receiver i've been on that's that straw on that side of the straw and um getting beat like that over your head and then you do when something like that happens you really don't know where you are on the field because you're so focused on the ball and you're one receiver so him him just making that tackle there out of bounds he probably didn't really know where he was at on the field so they caught a late hit there at 15 yards onto the two train being pretty hard on himself right here and he can hear coach jermaine saying london talk to him london talk to him good job by the senior going over there and getting control a little confusion there by the eagles defense they get set the way they want to salem changes their formation up doubles the left side going to be a handoff right up the middle not going to get anywhere once again maybe number 65 for the eagles rc 88 65 owen brewer said his name a couple games yeah a couple times tonight at that defensive end position yeah he had that big play earlier on that screen pass that was uh he stayed home made a good tackle and uh forced everything back inside so good play there to be the first man to the the ball make a tackle i believe owens a junior this year 6-1 second down at the defensive end columbia 13-yard line second down in eight maybe nine from the columbia 13 620 remaining in the third quarter doubles to the right side they're going to hand the ball off up the middle and columbia's going to stop the hole and they're going to find a secondary hole gain a couple yards and get inside the 10 yard line now as salem is once again in the red zone tackle by columbia number 12 dominic vaguely and company [Music] third down and five you hear the columbia sideline saying watch the ball now they're all saying watch the ball now they're telling them to watch the ball again third down and four big third down play here go ball go salem gonna go under center two tight ends two wing backs gonna be a quick turnaround just a trap not gonna get much if anything i don't think they got it he's just two inherits the ball camera yard if you don't convert you pin us at our own five yard line yeah come on columbia eagles fans get loud sideline get loud this could be the turning point of the game here this is a big huge part salem gonna go with the same formation they're going to try to get the hard count doesn't get anything couple columbia eagles lineman flinched but didn't jump across the line of scrimmage salem's going to try just to hand it off to the right side they're going to follow a lead block and they're going to get good for a first down to the ball he was there on that he he uh came right through on the left tackle and almost followed the running back right through the line he almost beat him beat him to the hole but before that garbage for all wildcat first down [Music] [Applause] down brings up a first down and goal from the one yard line four minutes 30 seconds remaining in the third quarter columbia leads it 16-6 from salem salem sidelines starting to make a little bit of noise for the first time tonight columbia's got five linemen two linebackers that might as well be lineman just gonna be a trap to the right side columbia is not gonna be able to do anything with it and it's gonna be good for a salem wildcat touchdown [Music] touchdown i wouldn't be opposed to something like that that's pretty sweet [Applause] touchdown wildcats makes it a 16-12 score here with 411 to go in this third quarter so salem will go for two it looks like here maybe not nope they're gonna kick the p-a-t missed the first one ten seconds to go i think there's somebody's alarm going off in the parking lot after those fireworks and it's going to be blocked again by the eagles they can return it can't they though no i think once it's kicked you can't do anything good why not go for two there salem coach arguing uh running into the kicker but no call and eagles are still up four huge play there now it's still a two position two possession game or no one possession game but for a field goal you know it's still two possession oh yeah you're right good call i'm an idiot don't stop talking so columbia leads at 12 or 16 to 12 with 412 remaining in the third quarter we are going to send it to a brick no we're going to hang on to it here yeah we'll see officials moved a little bit quicker i thought there was going to be a little bit longer of a break there we're sitting in the middle of a subdivision they got houses all around us yeah two practice fields behind us here looks like football had to climb up through a little bitty hole can't be a big guy fitting through this hole get up to the top of the press box can't be afraid of heights either ah pretty high up here yeah we're not that high maybe maybe on the back side of the building we are for me it's pretty high up here we'd like to thank all of our sponsors this year as every year please go and do your business locally do it in town they've helped us now it's time that we help them with all the hardships that we had in 2019 with coven in 2020 and a big thank you to taylor nicholson doing all the work behind the camera as he shakes his head at us he hates all the recognition but he deserves all of it absolutely so salem we'll send it deep to the four speedsters that the columbia eagles have in the backfield and it's going to be a pooch kick oh gosh and it's going to go out of bounds that's scary very scary because that's something when it goes 10 yards it's a live ball anybody can get on it and especially in the grass that ball can go anywhere bouncing around so but lucky enough goes out of bounds and we'll be able to get the ball at i believe the 40-yard line is if it goes out of bounds or is it the 30 35.
i think they're gonna be about a yard short brings up a fourth down and one mitchell you got the wind to your back but third and one or fourth and one i think you got to go for you got to keep your offense on the field here and go for it looks like i hear heavy from all the way over there and looks like we're going to bring the heavy set in so that brings off london and 2 train brings on schrader and number 62 jason kaczynski for the eagles 32-yard line dom goes under center no secret what's coming here i'm going to say power to the right side most likely dom under center we had a little bit of movement but it wasn't seen and that's all right because mcconaughey is going to get 10 yards and that's going to be good for another columbia eagles first down it's like we do have a lineman lineman slow to get up back here number 20.
yeah man i can't get anything right i think the officials are kind of talking about it going where does it go i think it's a 30 i think it's a 40. all right 35 it is they're trying to figure that out right now they got all four of them talking with each other now they're going to move it up to the 37. so columbia will take over from the 37 yard line mcconaughey's back into the game 38 yard line columbia's gonna go trips right stacked london's gonna be on the outside it's gonna be a fake handoff donovan's gonna or dominic's gonna lower his head get a five yard gain ball carrier spent all last year saying donovan beaver now we're saying dominic last week he was dominique earlier tonight i heard dustin dominique we've heard of it all tonight so it brings up a second down and a long four short five same formation for the eagles gonna be a quick bubble route to london little it's gonna be a little high he's gonna make the catch get to the line of scrimmage get to the sideline and get brought down almost look like it by number 28 he gets slung down the sound of the fans of columbia fans over there it sounded like it should have been a face mask or a horse collar but no call still first down for the eagles and it's that simple get the ball in your playmaker's hands get a first down you look last week that's all central did they got the ball a two-yard route in the flat line and they ended up gaining i don't know how many yards on that kind of play do it with somebody like london little let him make a play pretty simple balding out here just have him run and have him vaguely just throw it gonna step up hand the ball off to mcconaughey right up the middle and it's gonna be good for six yards you look at that play right there dominic when he's handing the ball off he's taking a step forward yeah so now you're already up to the line of scrimmage that much quicker as a running back driving their feet and looking to be getting their blocks a lot better in the second half as it looks like london little and mcconaughey are finding a lot more uh seams and open space to that's all you gotta do get them a little open space and they're gonna they're gonna make a lot of plays columbia moving the ball once again as we did on the last drive doubles running back to the left gonna be a quick arrow to the right side and it's gonna be caught by london little with contact he's gonna make two guys miss he's going to keep his feet moving and the university of wisconsin oshkosh receiver is going to be good for another columbia eagles first down how many touches you think he has tonight 12 oh every bit 12 to 15 yeah and we haven't even touched the fourth quarter yet first hit ten for columbia wildcat 30-yard line i mean coming into this season you know he's gonna have to carry a lot of this offense his weight and he's gonna have to make a lot of big plays for this team so seeing him do the stuff he's doing right now is amazing going to be a handoff up the middle to mcconaughey who's not going to get anything i think if he could have taken a step to the left side he would have had one of them seams that we talked about number one isn't able to and he loses about half a yard on the play columbia shifting around we're gonna go trips to the right side now we're sending mauldin he's always a single slot or a single receiver by himself 32 yard line serious doubles to the right sniff her back right hand the ball off fake it's going to be a bootleg we're looking deep down can't get the ball off so he's going to try to step up make something out of nothing get to the line of scrimmage and that's about it maybe a two-yard gain to bring up a third down and 10 with under two minutes remaining in the third quarter keaton mitchell and that's something coach horner's had for a while that roll out i know you probably used to roll out a lot and if did did he tell you if there's nothing open to put your head down and running or uh he just said yeah he's more or so to throw it out of bounds yeah that guy that was in the middle of the field he was open all the time though so you just try to throw it across your body yeah yeah you throw it across your head open every time until that defender steps in front of him trips to the left side going to be looking to the left it's going to be a quick snag and it's going to be caught by andrew malding he's going to have enough for a first down that's 2 train yep they look like number 20.
we can't really see a number looks like maybe 70 72 with the injured eagle we will send it to a break and we'll be right back to salem illinois welcome back ladies and gentlemen we're the eagles we'll take the handoff and go to london little right up the middle easton andrews was the injured eagle on the play london little just goes straight up the middle and columbia once again comes out in a new formation trying to formation him to death this year coach horner and it looks like we're going to do a lot of formations just to get the ball in our uh our playmaker's hands um you've seen two or three different formations of just getting the ball and london's hands uh just just off run so um definitely seeing a lot of different formations that coach horner probably put in this week um to get the ball the ball in london's hands trips left for the eagles gonna be just four verts down the middle of the field and it's going to be intended for number two andrew 2 train aaron 2 train cameron gets popped on the play not a bad not a bad ball just quick and right there adam but a good play by the salem defense there yeah look like just three straight verticals right there uh man-to-man coverage wanted to take it to the field and safety was sitting right there made a good play and the other safety came across to train's face and popped him right in the mouth i like that play too we've shown that we've moved the football so you take a chance there brings up a third and six manageable for this offense and these athletes here gonna fake the handoff to mcconaughey dom's gonna keep it he's gonna bust it to the outside he needs to get up field and he does touchdown he's going to keep his feet moving he's going to spin he's going to get close he's going to short at the one shorter the one exactly the ball carrier not even inside the one good play by dom there busting it to the outside keeping his feet moving they are chatting though salem coach fumble calling a fumble into the end zone which will be a touch back what where the salem offense will take over didn't see that i did not see that at all now two fumbles for the columbia eagles one inside your own five yard line and one inside the other 10 yard line so inside the other one yard line yeah oh yeah so with that field possession turns around two now the ball comes out to the rather than just being the one yard line man that's a heartbreaker that was a good pull good read there yeah it was a third and third about six a little reminiscent of a fairbury prairie central play there yard line fumbles it [Music] it comes out i formation doubles to the right side quarterback's gonna turn around hand it to the pullback gonna be sniffed out right away by four or five columbia eagles looks to be wibbed leading the way good to see the linebackers we talked about the front seven you almost challenge them and say hey we need you to play better this week and so far it looks like they are stepping up yeah i don't even think we've seen one pass attempt yet from salem so um definitely stepping up a little bit um i know that first drive wasn't really it was kind of tough to stop stop him inside the 10-yard line so but we're seeing a pretty pretty better job than last week of uh from this run game three minutes to go in the first quarter columbia trails it six nothing shalem going to have a quick pass play to the right side and it's going to be caught and missed a tackle by number 28 london little another missed tackle but finally taken out of bounds after about 10 yards and good for salem wildcat first down for a wildcat first down that was just a simple little bubble route to the right side two rad receivers blocking for uh for that for that receiver getting the ball and turns up field gets about eight nine yards for a first down if salem's trying to keep the ball out of the columbia eagles offense hands they're doing a great job like we said earlier we need to get our offense back onto the field salem absolutely winning the time of possession right now shotgun for salem they're going to hand the ball off they're going to run up the middle going to get a good nine yards before getting brought down by number 20 andrew malding i believe on the tackle attack by columbia number 28 for my prediction all i need is 20 points and i'll be uh help you right on that's all you need gonna bring up a second down in inches it's pretty quiet around here yeah there's no no real feel to this game yet at this point 2 30 remaining in the first quarter from jim finkfield at salem high school 42 yard line coach jermaine changing the defensive formation right now they're sending a man on the blitz and that's whiblemeyer he's going to miss the blitz but it's sniffed out right away but i think it's going to be good for a wildcat first down tackle by columbia number 65 owen brewer not before you guys are you listen to these salem coaches they just start screaming out names i don't know i guess everybody knows what's going on they're just screaming last names and guys are running on and off first and ten for the wildcats from their own 43-yard line leading the eagles six to nothing after the columbia fumble inside their 10-yard line made it quick and easy for salem to score the first touchdown doubles to the left side fullback left gonna be a quick pass play gonna be a little hitch to number two brought down after a five six yard gain by dominic vaguely tackled by this quarterback looks pretty good on his read so far in this game um he's going through the ball probably three times now with that was probably the first pass he's thrown down field the other two probably uh screen passes to his right left side but um all of his reads have been looked to be pretty nice reading each linebacker on the outside zones and pulling it whenever he wants so he can put his head down and run so quarterback for salem looking like he uh he knows what he's doing three down lineman schroeder comes over to the right side with the tight end gonna fake gonna be a bootleg to the right side gonna have a man wide open at number 22.
it's going to be good for columbia's first down regardless looks like we just ran a nice little snag route right right behind the linebacker linebacker's supposed to cover hook the curl which covers about five yards behind him and in front of him so looks like uh two train found a little spot to just settle down vaguely got the ball in there gonna fake the handoff he's gonna go to the right side is dominic vaguely who's gonna make a couple men miss he's gonna juke he's gonna move he's gonna get in for another columbia eagles touchdown eagles touchdown columbia great fake there by vaguely put it in uh who was that mcconaughey's belly to fake the defensive lineman going one way pull the ball go back the other way for a great run in for a touchdown puts the eagles up 22-12 22-12 for the eagles with one minute to go in the third quarter really quiet webb's waiting for the snap patiently good snap good hold kick is up and it is absolutely boomed that one almost he almost kicked that out of the stadium almost in someone's backyard so that puts the eagles up 23-12 we need that on the kickoff now yeah we do no slips this time whippy don't let up do not let up you're up 23-12 with a minute left in this third quarter if you can have a good defensive possession here defense come out on the field and get a quick stop get the ball back in your offensive hands and you can make a lot of good things happen when you're up two scorers with the ball in your hands columbia's ready to go and salem's not even on the field yet as they're starting to come out now momentum has definitely shifted doesn't really feel like it though you don't i mean we have the momentum they got their heads down over here on this side but columbia is not really uh letting you know that we have the momentum cat's number two caden b number 22.
he's got some big yards he's got a bunch of blockers he's got to make one man miss and it's going to be a fumble and that's going to go into the end zone and that's going to go out of bounds great job london little running the play down wow we need a guy to make the play and beat the dude your backside corner great job that's going to be something that coach horner highlights on film on saturday morning forces a fumble into the end zone when is the last time we've seen two-force fumble in a quarter columbia so it's gonna be a first and ten for the eagles what's going on around here so now you got the offense back on the field but i still you look over at that sideline still not no energy still nothing that's a huge play right there from your senior leader doubles for the eagles running back to the right side going to be quick hitches dom doesn't see anybody so now he's got to just have to make something out of nothing he's going to get a couple of yards by the whistle dom wanted a little bit of a rhythm play there and i don't think london and webb were ready for it number 52 price crimson company how about that though two forced fumbles into the end zone forcing a touchback in the same quarter gonna be one more play in the first quarter 30 seconds remaining in the corner doubles to the left side double running backs in the backfield with vaguely he's going to fake the hand off oh he's got him right here right yeah he's going to throw it they're going to kyle mcconaughey who's going to try to make a cut back and get a couple extra yards flag in the backfield next to the offensive lineman most likely a holding and it is holding on the eagles so your first big 20 yard gain gonna be brought back but i like a little bit of a little bit of hope there we're moving the football just got to put a drive together and get down the field and some you saw there we had london little as the right running back and dominic vaguely faked outside zone to his left and did a bootleg and i heard this coach salem coach down here yelling 28 up top 28 up top and that means he thought london was going to get the ball outside but that's just a nice decoy play to get the linebackers and defensive uh backs going in one motion and then having don bagley bootleg out of that um having two or three guys coming across field to throw the ball down the field too so good call there by coach horner and just tough to see a holding call there so it's going to be a 10 yard from the spot of the foul bring up a second down in a country mile that we will bring to you at the start of the second quarter gillum leads after one six nothing from jim fink field in salem illinois we'll be back after a moment after the first quarter welcome back ladies and gentlemen salem currently leading the columbia eagles six to nothing as each team one and one columbia trying to avoid going one and two for the first time since 2005.
brayden smith i mean we only probably got about eight or nine subs over there yeah good point good point so whib's gonna send it deep in this one in one match-up between the wildcats and the eagles from jim finkfield at salem high school webb sends it from right to left going to be a high kick to the right side going to be caught at the 10 yard line good job by the eagles getting down the field and it looked like meganson kept the ball in the inside of the field and it's going to be smith wildcats ball to 25 like i said drew they tried busting it to the outside and he forced it back in yeah that's something i think coach kendall i think he calls them runners and the two outside guys are just running straight down the field and forcing everything back inside and that's what megan said that did right there and did a great job of it add something else to coach kendall's list he's the get back coach he's the spread apart coach he's a special teams coach he's the jv coach now he's got to make sure dominic vaguely has his gloves for defense and keeps them whenever dom's on offense so jack of all trades over there first hits in for the one oh you know he loves it catch candle yard line salem takes the field with 10 seconds remaining on the play clock in a little bit of scramble mode right now going to fake the handoff going to be a bootleg to the right side with them right here good defense by the columbia eagles and they're quarterback's trying to make something happen here and late i'm not going to get anything colin mclaren running the and alley one of your quarterbacks there making a great hit there on great pursuit on the quarterback he was guarding this sniffer back that came out at the same time as the quarterback was rolling out and mclaren saw the quarterback was going to maybe keep the ball and ran right towards him and made a huge hit on him is he playing like a nickelback position kind of deal yeah looks like it looks like we have that looks like five defensive backs right there yeah you might be playing a little bit of a linebacker train london and maulding and then mclaren coming up playing a kind of like a free safety linebacker so we're gonna be a quick pass to the left side quarterback doesn't like anything over there so now he's gonna try to run to the right side he's going to get to the 30 gain of 5 and that's about it before he was running uphill into the track london did a great job of just guarding this number two caden b over here i think since that caden b has got a big play earlier i think london's been following him around on the field so that's something to also look out for as this second half progresses one of our listeners and coach huntsacker just texted me and said they are called gunners not runners gunners that's what it is i'm sorry you meant what you do i was the kicker i never was the gunner so i i'm sorry [Music] gunner that's what it was so third down and five for the wildcats columbia could have a big play right here and forcing a three and out send a man in motion they're gonna fake to their right sideways and try to be a pass up the middle it's gonna be good colin berger saying his name multiple times a night is it kohlberg or is it 73.
second down to 22 from the eagles eight gonna hand the ball off to mcconaughey he's just gonna go right up the middle put his head down he's gonna gain a couple that's going to bring up a third down and 12. that's a heck of a lot better than third down to 22. here we are yeah smart smart there by coach hunter just keep it on the keep it on the ground um don't want to force anything here not don't want to force another turnover inside inside their red zone to where they could have an easy score again um but yeah set sets up a nice third third and 13 instead of a third and 23. trips to the left side running back left salem gonna have three down linemen they're gonna send a linebacker on a blitz dom's looking deep to wibbs he's got wibbs wibb's got a first down and then some keep yourself moving wibbs hey remember when we said you didn't make too many catches earlier in the game you needed that one and we got a good job adam wiblemire well yeah with that too you have london little who's occupying two defensive guys because just just how good he is and how explosive he can be um throwing throwing him out as a decoy like like we just did there just running a little bubble route made a little space for adam webmeyer to get right in a little seam and for vaguely to throw a nice pass in there good for 30 yards in the first down we're going to hand the ball off this time with mcconaughey he's going to get stopped up by number 28 london little and schroeder just got caught up in each other and stopped the play before he even really got started i like that play though called on coach hoyner's part didn't seem to be a safety when i looked at the last second i don't know if they're just doing a man-free kind of deal or what the deal was but no safety in the field and i'd like to see us take a little more shots down deep field especially with dominic vaguely's arm that he has yeah also seen a little bit a little bit more of a tempo here with the eagles after that last last uh play there by webenmire and then that run there to the right gonna be doubles just gonna be quick hitches it's gonna be an out route by little who's gonna get nine maybe ten just a quick alabama there's what we would call it simple simple arrows gonna be a foul it turns into sean bailey eight or nine yard gain eight or nine yards gonna bring up a third down and one you hear coach horner calling for heavy as a minute and a half has gone out of the second quarter it's third down one to go this wildcat pa announcer he's got the voice he's trying to get everybody in it and yeah it's like the the fans and the players just don't get into it yeah i know looks like there's gonna be a timeout i'm out eagles columbia calls a timeout this guy shouldn't be doing salem well okay well he's got the voice i like it third and one what are you doing here you're just going power i think i think so i think you uh you saw it on that last time we had a third and one or fourth and one down here on this 20-yard line and heavy heavy is pretty tough to stop whenever you have more guys on the right side than more guys on the left side and you just run straight power i mean it's pretty hard to not just get a yard i think in my opinion i mean but yeah i think i think you just run power to the right side with uh mechanically you're running little and just get a yard and keep your drive moving and it's not like we're trying to fool anybody by what's happened i think heavy's had the same five main plays yeah for the last 15 years so you watch your film you know what's coming but like you said whenever you just got to get a yard and you line it up the way we line up you should be able to get your yard especially when you've had more power running backs in the past like charles ferris colton bird john heineken i can name a few but um this heavy this heavy stuff for a running back like that is huge heavy we're going to go blast right up the middle to mcconaughey good for eight yards they blew it dead already picked first down for the eagles good job they're getting eight yards getting the first down that would have would not have been a fumble though or a down london would have taken it to the house eagles must ate some popcorn on the way up here yeah ah dang thank you to emo speaking of eating thank you to emos for getting sandwiches ready for the eagles on their trip here we're gonna go heavy again it worked last time let it work again gets stripped up in the backfield but he tries to bend it outside his mechanic where he gets thrown out of bounds after about a two yard gain quinn company slow to get up over there is mcconaughey you can hear some of the columbia fans over there not happy with the late throw there by salem player after it looked like it could have been out of bounds but so it's a two yard gain for the eagles brings up second down in eight we got the coaches they're all unhappy with what's going on in the press box the officials are trying to get the play clock set still kind of dead here though not too many uh we'll call it a sniffer back to the left two running backs for the eagles second down in six gonna be a handoff they're gonna get to the right side gonna be close to a first down they're two trained the ball carrier two train on their carry that time was it gonna bring up a third down and one but if you look over at the down marker they got him he's probably going to be switching at the fourth because he had it on third looks like so third down and one let's see if he's got it figured out last play was third down third down to two it's third down two to go three down linemen for the wild cats but they're right up front on top of the ball three linebackers as well trips to the left side for the eagles we're going to hand it off right up the middle is mcconaughey and he's going to get enough yards for the first down now mcconaughey the ball carrier keep the drive moving jared yeah that's all you can do i mean we've seen it uh if i were coach horner right now i would have my heavy in there still um you've seen they've only ran two or three plays and they've got four or five yards out of each play so um if i were coach horner i'd keep running the ball if not heavy i'd keep running the ball if it's with mcconaughey or london little um this drive looks a lot better than our previous drives offensive line looks to be working a lot harder and getting to their blocks a lot easier absolutely i like this drive that we've got going on doubles running back left going to be a pass to the lift london deep into the corner now dom's going to have to scramble he's got the right side he's going to get to the sideline he's going to keep his feet moving that ain't a late hit what colombia is still wanting some extra tackling going on in the sideline 21 brexit took a shot to the head too dom's not afraid to go out there he ain't he's going to put his head down and he's going to make some plays got to protect all your players though always going to bring up a second down and two eight minutes 20 seconds remaining in the first half columbia still trailing six nothing here in salem yeah london had his arms flailing over here in the corner on that last play i'd like the same play again we're going to hand it off up the middle though it's going to be pulled by big bubbles fakes the bubbler out keeps a speaker good for eight yards matt cripp let him know what's the first down over there big guy we gave kripp some trouble last week had a muddy ball was like 10 20 yards down the field waving his tile around the officials wanted a ball he was nowhere to be seen that's something you don't see a lot from matt crippled oh he's always usually right on top of it well he's spoiled now he got the turf he's not houston that's what coach germain was saying he goes you're you're spoiled you don't have to worry about muddy ball anymore first hit goal for the eagles but like you saw there on that last play vaguely did a great job of uh faking that bubble route to force that linebacker to go out with the wide receiver and cut up field to get a first down calls a timeout and just a little quick pump fake out of dominic was able was enough to just throw the play off a little bit and that's what you're seeing a lot with a lot more like college and even nfl teams now more mobile quarterbacks um over the over the past couple years you've seen a lot of running quarterbacks come into the league like i just think quarter quarterback styles are changing every every year and you're not really going to find a lot of pocket pocket passers anymore that are just going to sit in the pocket and sling it around with a strong arm you're going to see i feel like you're going to see a lot more power running back quarterback types two tandem quarterbacks that um that has really taken over the game that that can really have a big big impact on the game yeah the days of the tom brady and peyton manning's of just sitting back there and dissecting you all the way down the field are over yeah that's something nice to see with the columbia quarterbacks i mean you got two tandem quarterbacks like mclaren i mean you've seen him he's put up great numbers already this year with a perfect pass rating in week one had 200 passing yards last week um and vaguely can do it on the ground first down and goal from the eagles from the 10 yard line gonna be another arrow right to london little he's going to catch it and get up field he's going to get in for columbia eagles touchdown out of the timeout i love that you come out of a timeout and say hey this is what we're going to do you get it done that's one of the we we've probably seen that play three or four times already tonight uh two london little i bet you he's already got at least eight nine touches in this game um great great play call there by coach horner to just get it out of vagley's hands quick and get it in your best players hands for a touchdown london little with a sixth touchdown on the year everybody else has four combined on the season columbia number 23.
oh i think we just said that the wrong name running stein he was keen we'll say his name pigman pick i love it you gotta love what a big man gets his hands on the ball it's like he knew what he was doing all along it's like christmas morning for the linemen whenever they get get the ball in the mansion they don't know what to do with it for columbia great awareness though by uh linemen that have the have the ball thrown right at you and have your hands ready to make a catch here comes an end zone shot right here gonna fake right there we're gonna go deeper dominic vaguely over to the right side looks like he's got wibbs and it's incomplete he had him since he completes columbia number 23. joe streepy makes that catch joe streepy makes a catch shout out 2007.
this one for the lead adam webb good snap good hold kick is up and it is crushed through the uprights and it is good so columbia takes the lead 7-6 with eight minutes to go in the first half we'll send it to a break and we will be back after a short minute eagles lead the salem wildcats seven to six here at jim finkfield each team coming in at one and one minute this year columbia trying to avoid going one and two for the first time since 2005 trying to stay above 500 since 2010 you hear coach kendall saying fly down there let's go we need to get something going over here on the sideline yeah over there it's a little a little quiet you still don't see that much energy after a big big drive there great drive by the columbia eagles offense so um look to see somebody fly down and make a big hit here maybe force a fumble wibbs with a low kick that's going to be picked up at about the 16 yard line good pursuit by the eagle zone good coverage to get down there going to make a couple moves or the wildcats number two gonna get all the way down to the 45-yard line [Applause] columbia had good pursuit just didn't make a tackle when they needed to caden b he played when i was a senior he was either a sophomore or a freshman when i was a senior i guarantee it i remember that name caden b uh-huh number two sound familiar oh yeah i'll be darned if that's him kayden b is a junior six foot he's a junior 195 pounds so he would have been what a freshman when i was a senior is that how that works for the wildcats ball drone 46 yard line let us know where you're listening and watching from tonight like i said we are running off of a makeshift setup up here and a cell phone service so please bear with us doubles to the left side tight end right sniffer back left they're going to hand it off and run left and it's going to be slipped out by webb and a boy now i like what's going on here after that play right there mitchell carrier would be a great job there to just get power through the line and all you got to do is get your hands on them and slow them down a little bit and your teammates will be there to help you bring them down and that's what whibby did there slowed him down enough to get two or three four more hands on him and enough to bring him down for a loss of one second sniffed out right away like you said and you're getting blocked by a lineman who's bigger than you and you just kind of shove him out of the way and say i don't need to worry about you right now and get get the tackle in the backfield doubles are right side tight end left sniffer back right going to hand the ball off to the right they're going to be nowhere to go again but they're going to make something out of nothing there's a penalty there's a penalty flag on the field gonna be a gain of five play i thought i saw the guy's helmet kind of go back like a face mask and that is what the defense white hat is showing he saw his head kind of snap back real quick to the left so that'll be a five yard penalty correct because it is not a major yeah i believe so ref's taking his steps down three four five yep five year penalty bring up about a what second and second four three two one second down and two we'll call it they got first down on the block over there though it wasn't first down last play either ref's discussing should be second down over there i believe no i guess it's for i guess it's reset it downs no it should be second down second down and one second and two trips to the left side yeah second down and two trips to the left side running back right split out right to ourselves closest to us here 6 30 remaining in the first half in salem they're going to hand the ball off to the left side to number 28.
[Music] dom fake the ball to london little on that play and went to the deep ball in wibbs who was at the goal line just bounced off the bad spot hit him in the hands that's something coach horner likes to do whenever he gets a turnover on downs or a interception or a fumble like that he likes to take a shot right off the bat when the defense ain't ready we're gonna throw the bubbler out this time to london who makes one man miss he's gonna drag another guy get brought down by the third guy after a four yard gain london little good stalk block in there ty that time by the columbia wide receivers 10 seconds left here in this third quarter looks like coach warner is just going to let this one run out as the eagles are going to head into the fourth quarter with a 23-12 lead and that'll send us to a break and we will be right back with you here in salem illinois welcome back to salem illinois where the columbia eagles and the wildcats are in a game that's now going towards the eagle's favor as they are leading 23-12 down to gold as you can hear from the pa announcer 35 for the eagles great being an announcer going to fake the handoff dominic vaguely going to keep it he's going to try to get something and he's not going to get anything he's actually going to lose two or three on the play dominic the ball carrier now you got to think what do you want to do number 77 micah slater i'm gonna go hard count i think you keep your offense yeah you keep your offense on the field here um what are you on the 34 about 35 26 oh is it i'm gonna go backwards i'm going to go hard count here take a timeout with a couple seconds remaining on the play clock 26 yard line see if you can get him to jump now you're at 10 seconds on the play clock trips to the left side we'll see what coach warner has he's going to call the play it's going to be an arrow to the left side salem sends some men out to the middle dominic's going to make a man miss we got a guy open under the end zone and it's going to be dominic vaguely in the end zone 26 yard scramble for dominic vaguely good for another columbia eagles touchdown and they now extend the lead 29-12 on a fourth and six too great stock block in that time by andrew maulding down field pushing a guy onto his backside at the goal line and that's something dom vaguely brings to the table whenever you got a quarterback that can get out an open space and just use his feet and not only his arm but use his feet in his legs and show how much speed and awareness and agility he has only as a sophomore great job don begley high snap but it's brought down by saigon kick is up it is good so that takes it columbia 30 salem 12.
look at the pursuit by the columbia eagles defense and look at london little making a tackle going low getting a play in the backfield bailey the ball carrier so oliver schroeder there he was he was close to cutting them off um little did a great job of just flying down field and he he makes some great ankle ankle ankle tackles he can get there in a flash and he he'll break down and just dive straight at your feet and that's that's something very special that that that somebody can do and he doesn't miss either oh he does it's not like he just went flying by you it's third down and six i think that's what the officials are getting together with so you had the first play that we made the tackle in the backfield by wibbs now is it a replay of down so that would be the only thing one that face mask call yeah cause they got second down over here on the field and then they have third down over here on the scoreboard it's only a matter of time until coach hoyner coached one and we had last week we even got a little mess with our uh our scoreboard and our clock management so it should be third down right should be third down columbia's telling we should be third down look at that we got third down now [Applause] been a struggle over there so far third down six to go on the wildcat 49 yard line third down and six columbia got four men down two linebackers salem gonna have trips to the left send a man in motion now we'll be in doubles running back to the right side going to be a pump fake to the right going to be a quick screen sniffed out by cleveland columbia and vaguely steps up makes the tackle two or three yards but not anything for a first down whoever that defensive end was over there stopped right away had it sniffed out they just threw it over the top of his head yeah that's something huge because your your d-backs cannot fall asleep there in that position and dom vaguely did a great job of staying home not following his man all the way across across the field his man went in motion and he stayed home bumped it out to mauldin out on this side and good enough for vaguely to stay home and only make it a two-yard game that defensive end over there is number 65 owen brewer great job ball goes away stay where you are don't go don't follow the football there's a reason you got through that quick trip's the left side gonna be a quick pass to the right side just a quick hitch there we go turn over on down the eagle ball number two wanted the ball to come in quarterback wanted him to go out turn over on downs for the eagles great field position to start off this drive here with five minutes to go in the first half and off a great drive we had last possession um i feel like coach horner is definitely going to run the clock here he's got five minutes to work who do we kick off first or we get ball first i believe we kicked yeah we did kick kick so we can get some points up here right before half time and get the ball back at half time that'd be some that's some big points here to finish this first half you had 20 to seven i had 35 14.
your score's pretty close alex i don't know how we're gonna get five a safety and a field goal we can get five it's possible pretty impressive game here by the eagles tonight slow start able to get some things going a couple turnovers yeah there's two turnovers two fumbles into the end zone that were touchbacks i've never seen anything like that in in a game especially two of them in the first quarter not even on madden no i've never seen that in my life it's wild [Music] another quiet sideline over here it looks like some people are starting to make their way towards the exit [Music] salem has their tiger or their wild cat blow up head in the end zone see if columbia puts out their eagle helmet next week week one it was too windy they didn't want to put it up so we'll see if we get it out next week as we host spray bird we host freeburg next week we do so uh who was a poultry who wasn't understanding number two wanted to be freeburg by 40.
sending london in motion to the right side gonna be a handoff he's gonna follow a lead block and mcconaughey he's gonna make one man miss he's gonna get spun around he's gonna keep his feet london hit the ground there and they continued to play the play out that's going to be a late hit unnecessary roughness i don't know what you would call it it's going to be more yards for the eagles that's what i call it london did a great job there just keeping his feet running looked like he was gonna get brought down after only a three four yard gain and he turned it into about eight nine yard gain we're going to add some more yards on here after uh the refs discuss and talk about that light hit [Music] gonna be a late hit on the wildcats gonna be a 15-yard penalty correct should be looks like it so columbia on one play goes from their own 47-yard line all the way down to the wildcat 29.
that was his one goal of the season i think that's a lot of these uh whenever whenever you become a senior you just learn over the years that freeberg is kind of a game you circle on your schedule every year because it's always it's always a physical game it's always a a good game and it's always it's always just an energetic game to watch so we're going for an onside kick here recovery eagles go onside kick and they look like they're gonna get it wow bryce hildebrand comes up with the ball and that's gonna be columbia football there is confusion everywhere i don't know if that was on purpose or not uh looks like coach kendall's looking at the weber they both got their hands up in the air but what a kick that first bounce went about 15 to 20 feet in the air and i think he got under it did he i think he just got that far under i thought he i thought he hit the top of it and it bounced straight up in the air and the salem wasn't even ready for that you had either neither was columbia i don't think you had salem guys running straight back thinking it was a long kickoff and so was the cameraman on it because that's always goofy whenever you watch those games so the officials are saying that it is colombian football but when you watch those games and you got the cameraman going 20 yards in front of downfield that's t-nex shaking his head yes so it's going to be the eagles in line eagles football from the wildcat 49-yard line 1105 remaining in the game yeah columbia leads it 30-12 gonna hand the ball off to mcconaughey it's going to be pulled it's going to be an hour out two london little who's going to make one man miss good stock blocking never mind it's not good stock blocking looks like it's going to be a holding penalty and you think coach corner is trying to get to 40 here i mean i know i know it won't be a running clock but like you said he likes to score his points and get his offense in the end zone as many times as he can so penalty flag on the play personal foul face mask on the defense so look at that i've been all over webb tonight said that he was missing some balls he made two great catches i thought he had a holding penalty on the play but in reality it was a penalty on the wildcats coach warner so whenever i played we had a completely we had the same plays which is a completely different way of getting the call onto the field i don't know how they all keep it straight now he says it's simpler maybe i just thought it was simpler our way but yeah it wasn't it seems confusing it wasn't once you had a couple of weeks of practice under your belt with it it wasn't too bad coach horner's wanting the clock to be around and now he's wanting to read yeah he's wanting to play clock reset we're going to hand the ball off to mcconaughey he's going to try to go up the middle initially he was going to the left side okay the ball carrier it's going to be going to be good for three yard gain clock keeps moving tick tick tick tick tick even his low voice just carries it just carries i haven't heard coach germain too much tonight no defense been playing well offense been playing well good good overalls doubles to the right side sniffer back left mcconaughey is a pistol back behind quarterback dominic vaguely we're going to let the clock run down inside 10 seconds probably get down within five before we take a snap three down lineman for salem it's going to be a handoff up the middle mcconaughey's going to try to get some lead block but he's not going to be able to get anything as he's wrapped up in the backfield he might have got to the line of scrimmage but that's it that was a slow play right there yeah so it's really slow developing looked like someone pulling maybe tripped or got caught on somebody else but um really couldn't find a seam or a hole to fit up in so he uh only gained about one yard and brings up about a third and seven nine thirty remaining in the game eagles lead it thirty to while the twelve 28 yard line trips to the right side lone receiver is maulding to the left vaguely looks for the slant two molding and he throws it behind him so it brings up a fourth down and eight big thing on that play clock stops you think do you actually think that onsite kick was on purpose or do you think no i don't think so you think it was an accident yeah the way everybody's hands were all going up in the air i can't especially 30 to 12.
that's a good drive starter yeah no kidding i like this little formation we got here we got two running backs on the backfield oliver schroeder we'll call him a sniffer back sending london in motion once again we're going to hand the ball off to mcconaughey he's going to bust out wide he's going to gain a couple only problem with that play there though they want to go up the middle they just don't have anywhere to go yeah they're he he could have lost about two three yards there but great vision by mcconaughey there to have some great footwork and great vision to just put his left foot in the ground and bounce it outside um turned a two-yard loss into a three-yard gain so great job by mcconaughey of turning negative into positive you look at this play here safety playing on london is 15 yards deep turn to throw it to him but we're going to go the other way we're going to fake the bubble we got to go down the molding in the end we got a columbia eagles touchdown on a great ball by dominic vaguely for a 26 yard columbia eagles touchdown that was the softest hands i've ever seen too molly looked like it was going to be a little over his head maulding with a great great sprawl out to get it and sliding catch great throw by don vagley the sophomore and that's a touchdown for the eagles i really like andrew malding too as quiet as he is you never see him he never says anything to you but he gets everything done that you need him to get done exactly that's all you can ask for so columbia takes lead 13-6 four minutes and five seconds to go in the first half we'll be on for the p-80 we got a movement on the right side now we got a bunch of movement once the officials blew the whistles i'll start offense you hear coach horner go you can't move so it's gonna be a five yard loss we'll try it again look at these field goal polls that salem has here too yeah looks like those ones yeah it looks like they just bought one upright and cut it in half and so this will work we'll just go ahead and stick both of these so we'll try it again high snap gets got down but it's going to be pulled to the left side coach kendall not happy as he's walking the other way shaking his head columbia legit 13-6 four minutes and five seconds we will go to a break and we'll be right back after this welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the week three cahokia conference battle between the one and one eagles and the one-on-one wildcats columbia just went 52 yards and 54 seconds i think we said three 54 seconds something like that capped off by a beautiful ball and catch by dominic vaguely and andrew malding whip doesn't have to worry about kicking into the wind this time we should get this inside the 10 at least would that drive the same play webby caught that big pass on that third and about 13 also i think it was i don't remember short-term memory high kick by webb it's going to be a bunch of eagles down there but they all lose contain except number 23.
