001a little bit welcome into east long meadow high school devin dolbeck back on the call alongside my partner mike morning excited where the spartans will play host to the minichog falcons tonight here mike what are we looking out for as we await for kickoff here well dev uh we got two pretty good teams here i believe they both have a record of two and one actually no i lied so minitronic has a record of two and one their only loss coming from central uh who is an absolute powerhouse they shut out westfield according to max preps 38 to nothing here and i'll let you call and then i'll all right and off the left side has their only loss again as i said to central with two wins one of them coming against westfield 28

002to nothing and then holy oak with a win of 41 to 20. east island meadow on the other hand has one win against uh amherst and then two losses one against agawam and one against west side so we're in for a pretty good match up here i'd say absolutely mike conor robidu will get the start at quarterback isaiah king to his left and in motion there goes longo and the give is to king and he is stuffed at the line falcons get to him you know and that tackle was gino for chetty second down a run game has always been a strong component of east songs meadow of the song meadows game gameplay here so let's see if they can capitalize early on miniature hog now robadoo again king to his right and he takes

003a snap looks to pass avoids the sack runs into his own man conor roberto will take off and just barely get back to the line of scrimmage it'll be third and long for the spartans to go short game by number one counter-robadoo third down at eight nevertheless spartans on the 41 following the short kickoff and good return return from nolan moore just over a minute gone by here at east long meadow high school roberto takes a snap again play action drops back passes he's intercepted minichal going the other way that's jonah kozum and he may go all the way jonah kozab to the house touchdown minichart interception so a minute 23 in and jonah koza to the house but mike you know an early blow there but you know you got to stay positive it's

004very early and you know you're going to get the ball back can't get down cannot get down at all um yeah i mean it was the third play of the game there's still obviously plenty of time left here if the defense can get a good stop and got the offense back out there we should be in pretty good shape still and the kick is up and away splits the uprights the extra point good for the falcons converting that one dominic beck i believe he's on the hockey team as well recognize that name calling it they had a good hockey team here dev minitrog we got to witness a few great games mike 2-2 game for those of you tuning in if you remember that game that was a thriller so spartans will get another crack

005at it way back to receive is mojon but based on the last kickoff not exactly sure what to expect nico mojon recently committing to westfield state to play football excited and happy for nico congratulations to him been a huge part of the spartans team ever since his freshman year and he will take this kick and runs over one man gets up to the 35-yard line some great yards after contact there dev way to just plow through return by number five niko all 510 175 of him getting through that falcon 10 and a half to go spartan's already looking up a hill longo in motion longo takes the ball and barely gets across the line of scrimmage will be second and nine we got a pretty young team here at dev no yeah absolutely spartans last

006year they were a decently young team they had a few good seniors but not the season we saw two years ago with hunter mazza and jack david and cam madison those big guys and the program hasn't had that kind of success as of late but hoping to turn it around with a few bright spots and mika mojo and johnny ferentino ryan delaney young quarterback though conor robadoo only a sophomore and that one is incomplete intended for mojon [Music] third down and eight third a lot more passing we're seeing from the spartans though than i'm definitely remember yeah i believe we've only had one handoff so far no two sorry both for about one or two yards [Music] and now robadoo little shovel pass over mojo and he's dropped behind the line of scrimmage so it's

007gonna be fourth down and long spartans will punt now dev typically i'm never excited to see my team punt but with cj calogy back there with that lag i am i believe i'm in in for a treat here so if you're in for a treat i get to go to school then for the next four years cj calogy walking on at university of massachusetts amherst to play football congratulations to him as well he will be kicking for them i'm looking forward to i mean seeing what he does at mcgurk alumni stadium and that's a great kick kick the return on the way there's some speed and running so fast up the left sideline finally the tackle is made i don't have a 24 on my miniature roster shout out max preps for that um i'm

008sure mr macarena will help the player 24 joshua joseph josh koza huh oh because there are two number fours dev oh i thought he said josh i thought it was 24. no there i believe it is [Music] well anyways rosters always have given us trouble in the past unfortunately at the high school level especially michael o'shea on the east song medical roster shout out mr o'shea and they give good for a good handful they get about half there it'll be second about five or six now dev out of i know that you should be asking me this but you're a fairly intelligent individual so i'm gonna ask you instead what does what do the spartans need to do here that should see just gotta pick up the aggression i mean you know they've had a

009few incompletions those don't help the pick six doesn't help play action though for the falcons and getting a couple's ryan mcconnell he will be close to the marker i believe it will remain third down third down to one from the nineteen third and one and i believe jeremy deal in a quarterback now he just looks like a quarterback right absolutely caleb reland also quarterback he's out way wide right and now the give will be enough for a first down minichog has been fairly successful in their run game so far nothing too big but consistent chunks that are should be pretty good wear and tear on the spartans defense [Music] so a fresh set of downs seven and a half minutes to go [Music] and dropping back to pass mcconnell fires knocked away nice play made

010there that was jacob rabadoo defensive played by number eight jacob second down great play especially from a pitcher coming out of retirement on the football field he's him and sorry jacob rabadoo and football is quite the love story if you ask me he's been in and out of this program throughout his four years at east line middle high school it's been intriguing to see from the sidelines and now mcconnell to give and i don't know i'm saying the wrong name is deal to mcconnell minitrog is running red 53 totally beyond me as to what that means but let's see under seven minutes now deal in the backfield and the give is to mcconnell now we got that squared away max preps has really been in my head and i believe that will be another first

011down chains move and it will be a first and goal yes from uh about the appears to be nine i'd say eight we'll split the difference they said ten sorry from the eight there it is so i guess i was correct 6 20 to go deal takes the snap looks to drop back to pass fires end zone wide open that will be a touchdown joe garvey just a good play there obviously a spartan's defense got a little confused as to what was going on so that's how you know it's pretty good joseph garvey the touchdown so jeremy deal with a passing touchdown finds joe garvey and miniature with a two score lead about halfway through this first quarter of action still only halfway through though dev so no need to panic um not sure what's

012going on [Music] um extra point was good i see mr gabe all stop number 77 walking on the field right there on the sideline i know gabe just wanted to put that on shout out gabe hello gabe spartans trying to find some sort of production [Music] and now the kick away got a little squib kick here yep it's fielded and fallen on nice special team play made there nathan leclair wow these rosters are killing me i apologize if i'm getting names wrong i printed out a roster and i think i pointed out look it says 84 nathan leclair never your fault well oh well we got a bit of a stoppage in play here dev was that a time out taken i believe so but anyways breaking the action mike what are the spartans got

013to do to turn this thing around and just keep their dignity i mean it's only the first quarter you can't sag your head right now you gotta stay in it yeah i mean that was fairly offensive of you to suggest that we're gonna lose our dignity here devin but that's okay um no but what i will say is that the spartans just need to keep onto the ball a little bit longer so i feel like we haven't quite exploited our run game nearly as much as we should or as we have in the past so i feel like if we uh we could get some garbage down that way minotaug has been fairly successful doing so and um all we got to do is just get small chunks and get the chains moving and i

014feel like we should be in pretty good shape do you disagree i don't disagree i think that's great analysis i'd like to see isaiah king get going he's got some wheels for sure and i'd like to see what he could do if he utilizes them you know i really like the turf tape aesthetic he's got going on there you go just really looks like he can put up some big numbers when you're wearing turf tape you know now i believe shane becker coming in at the quarterback position now after two quick drives for kind of robidu becker rolls out right pass complete that's a good throw right there especially on the run and i believe that's going to be johnny ferentino coming down with a catch for about one complete from decker i would just

015like everyone to make note of ryan delaney's size mr 79 on the offensive line just an absolute unit so i just i've been thinking about that the entire game i i had to say i believe correct me if i'm wrong university of new haven commit for football university of new haven commit for so a few and a handful of good talent on this spartans team exactly you'd like to see them get going anyways becker with a king to his left spartans have been running that shotgun formation and pass is complete but drops behind the line few miss blocks there and limping up a bit it's preston longo but he seems to be okay so becker two for two for negative one yard uh and the two plays we've seen on this drive minichog spent all

016over the spartans and now becker steps up trying to make some moves and he is tackled it'll be fourth down there he picked up a lot of yards quick though so he's a he's a quick kid which i like to see there yeah he's definitely shifty and it looks like spartans are going to be punting here even though that's a three and out dev i feel like that was a step in the right direction absolutely picked up some good yardage so cj calogy we're in for another treat here bad snap but kaloji recovers and now kozub almost fumbled it there anyways he's off to the races this kid has some wheels for what we've seen and he is just going to run all the way up the field cj keloji the last man cj cology

017he said hi how are you that was a great tackle by cj yeah but you never wanted to get as far as to your kicker no but trying to be a glass half full guy here death no i agree i agree sure i'm all for the [Music] positivity and so now jeremy deal he's already got a touchdown pass and looking for another four minutes to go and the give is to mcconnell mcconnell a little gap play there and good for about half of the yards they needed lucas ferguson 77 game also devin i never asked how are you doing fantastic mike thank you for asking umass hockey going to the national championship so i'm ecstatic i live and breathe umass sports so that that was that made my day it was a great game one

018in overtime woke up the town it was a great day jeremy deal now the give bouncing off one tackle and getting a couple more and willie's met by ferentino and a few others i believe that was freeland on the carry could be wrong it's pretty good barton's defense though it really just swarmed him so third in one chance to stuff him [Music] twice and deal in the backfield takes a snap and to mcconnell a little sweet play mcconnell busts through trucks over a man and he's in for the touchdown he just bowled over mojon and it will be 20 to nothing and threatening for more here in the first quarter 21 ryan mcconnell and extra point three for three on the day for mr seen some great kicking so far mr dom beck three of

019three spartans trail by three scores here early 245 to go in the first and at this point everybody just gotta play their game you know got nothing to lose can only get better from here that's exactly right big special teams play here could really do something big for the spartans and now back set to kick away doesn't try any tricks this time kick is fielded and he runs into his own man bounces off him though and tackle made i believe on the return that was number 10 will start on their 35. he is only a freshman according to max yes he weighs zero pounds yeah max preps has definitely got their licks in on us 237 to go quarter one and becker dropping back and he is trying to avoid the sack but eventually down

020easy it's a pretty big hit yeah mick harrigan he's also a freshman nick harrigan getting the sack loss of six it'll be second down and 16 to go [Applause] oh and now back giving or knock back geez i'm getting all these names becker the give to king and only good for about one or a few under a minute 40 to go spartans in a bit of a hole here 21-0 our score becker takes the snap dropping back looking passing he overthrew him by a fair margin and it will be fourth down and 12. he did get hit after that after he threw that so yeah i definitely took a shot yeah now i'm trying to figure out there's something around his neck is it a towel or just looking at that i might be his

021pad or it could be the pad next plate i don't know interesting minute 21 to go 21 nothing is our score spartans trying to create some sort of momentum here as miniature seeming to be running away see what cj cologia can do if he can impress me one more time and he blasts that one kosov will lay off fields it well though and look at him catch some speed this kid can run makes a move there and up to the 44-yard line of the falcons you know what i do not enjoy is the bounces that he has been receiving yeah off of these punts they've really just been going straight into his hands so if we could change that i would appreciate it [Music] first down for mid jog from their own 44. got the

022crowd going with a little defense here we got i like that individual holding the d the next holding the picket fence that's the energy we need honestly i'm pretty sure that's why he was tackled there and didn't get the first down so it'll be second and short under a minute to go second and one 45 44 43 seconds left on the clock and deal takes a snap and give this time to an isaiah kozub and that will be good for a first down so the kosa brothers are forced to reckon with if you ask me thus far thus far now do they have similar rules to college where the clock stops for chains to be moved i don't think so to be honest with you well huh interesting deal dropping back swings it out to

023kosab and he'll catch a burst of speed and nitrile he said almost barely shoved out getting back on the play there nine seconds left that was a great play by who but jacob rabbit who throwing it on the wheels so with nine seconds to go minchog threatening for their fourth score number ten i say out of bounds at the four yard line first down in goal mid jog [Music] nine seconds to go deal in the backfield a little sweet play to vreeland reeling bouncing out and avoiding a tackle spartans get there good defense there by the spartans so at the end of one score is the falcons 21 and the spartans zero mike there's still three quarters left hey you're only down three touchdowns you you get seven points back per quarter you're you're right

024back either we'll do it for you i mean that's doable isn't it i would say so so uh i'm i'm not sweating partially because it's kind of cold but also because i have faith in my spartans football team uh i am unaware of the yard line that they were at i believe they're at the four yard line before the last play unclear if they picked up any yardage there maybe one so i'm intrigued to see the spottage are you absolutely mike i mean yep you know we got to stay positive you know sure being negative is not going to change anything and wow the gemelli twins how do the camellias because we're definitely going to get uh what's the word i'm looking for hijacked so about to get started miniature threatening for more about five

025yards to the end zone but hey spartans got a stop on the last play you know get a few more of those why not you know what we just got to do for these next two plays what what would that be gotta stop i like it yeah very simple there it is you should give you a helmet or maybe a headset well you got a headset we could give you a coach's headphones i could get a little combo oh a coach's headset um and we got the defense going i love this i know i there's some good energy going on right now the fans are not the problem here at east long meadow high school no never they are definitely into it yes we do have some people some students also and the give punching

026it forward and in for the score it'll be a touchdown minute jog and a score of 28 to zero isaiah kozub punching that one in so i would like to crack you devin it is apparently 27 to zero ah yes extra point on the way he's three of three so far let's see if uh if he can stay perfect on the day as i said before we're in for some good day of kicking [Music] 11 54 to go i don't i feel like they're blowing the whistle before he kicks it i was confused about that i keep thinking there's a flag which we haven't seen yet but anyways now it is 28 to nothing i'm sorry for a flag jump the gun a little bit there coach morsino trying to put some life into his

027guys saying one play at a time and this man i would like to point out i've been calling games this would be my third no this would be my fourth year you are old this is my third year calling football games here at east long meadow high school and coach morsino i've i don't i think i've maybe seen him in pants one time even on 10 degree weather on thanksgiving i think the entire coaching staff is currently rocking with shorts yeah but i just think that's a cool factoid that i threw that is a cool factoid i appreciated it and good tackle hey there mr ryan delaney just running out there like nobody's business i'd like to see him pancake a few people i yes 11 48 to go return by number eight jacob rapido

028first down to ten from east palm meadow 30. bless you my apologies your correct response was thank you but we'll we'll take it beggars can't be chooser i know stopped behind the line of scrimmage that time isaiah king dev i'm gonna call this play here we're gonna have a play action gonna have a throw we're gonna have a 15-yard completion conor robin who back in the quarterback so maybe they're doing a 2-2 type thing a little dual threat pulling one out of navy football's playbook i like it there you go um mike also correct me if i'm wrong there's not been a first down for the spartans yet uh you are not wrong you require no correctage robodoo taking the snap dropping back and it's batted up and intercepted so miniature coming away with a

029pretty good swat into a interception and unfortunately no 57 57 thomas murdock thomas murdoch is the one that made the interception but he is not number 57 there is no 57 on the roster i have in front of me really killing me but [Music] oh wow a little trick play here yeah how about that and touchdown falcons piling it on early here james angelicore the touchdown how about that i believe reeling through the touchdown number two james jolliker for the touchdown sounds about right right big play there and it's 34 to nothing see if we can make it 35 for mr 46. and back i believe that one was good i'm gonna have to correct you here dev it was not it was not back that was the quarterback we got oh a new kicker

030oh it is back i totally lied see the roster man driving everyone nuts mr beck a senior standing five foot eight 180 pounds [Music] wonder what his plans for the future are maybe they involve college military trade school really could be just about anything right so devon i'm feeling pretty good about this special teams play the spartans about to make i don't know why you know nico mojo has had a house call i believe this is jacob rabadu yeah on the sideline rabbitoh running into some individuals individuals the head is a great word that's what first came to mind jeff there you go yep 10 40 to go spartan defense has not had much success here tonight good thing they're on offense yeah that's what that was what i was leading into spartan offense just

031going to pick them up oh how about that so that was glass half full of there you go i apologize should know more than to question you and a shovel pass doesn't do much longo loses about four there so closing in on 10 minutes ago in the first half [Music] takes the snap drops back fires good and complete johnny ferrantino out of bounds and a big block by the flag that's gonna be taunting and did you say there was a flag i did say that there was a flag i think the referee is going over it i wasn't i didn't see it thrown but i saw nico throw an absolute pancake of a block and then um he let him know that he threw the pancake block and then there was some words exchanged and

032here we are awaiting a flag just some extracurriculars nothing new to football so we'll see if that escalates maybe nico taking out a little frustration so we'll uh bring it on down to michelle tafoya's sideline let's see if michelle has anything to say michelle michelle is experiencing technical difficulties so i guess we'll keep it here under 10 minutes ago i believe yes that flag went against mojon but it looks like they only lost like i'd say 10. yeah no they did lose 10. it was second in like 15 and now it's second and 28 no 19. sorry i don't know what yeah interesting i don't think we're on the 28th i think we're on the 23. and so they're screaming ball i wonder if that's because of a fumble i would that's some good deductive

033reasoning there might be devin thank you very much i had to hedge my bets though believe oh that was a good one thank you 9 35 to go it feels good to be under the lights beautiful spring evening here at east long beach a beautiful day today devin you know i was working you were working yeah i went to the gym this morning and then i went to hot table so we are giving free advertisements for hot tables to be determined shout out chris devoy he can really run a great business and make a phenomenal sandwich while he's at it cj calogy punt away with his shortest punt of the day may not even it'll bounce and it's muffed and kosa runs on it and then making sure he goes out of bounds is xavier

034boaz falcon's dominating he sawing meadow here and their offense will get a chance to strike again i wonder if they're gonna keep their pedal to the metal here mike or maybe we'll see some of the younger guys get some time or what's your call i think they're gonna run them into the ground until about half time and then after that i think we're going to see some guys who you may not normally see in the game spartans got to keep the fight though they're not out yet they're down but they're not out the fat lady is only doing her warm-up she's not singing yet mike what does a warm-up for singing consists of like drinking some peace uh yeah and like scales like maybe a dough dough right here like that thing they do with

035the harmonica as well oh yeah where you like kind of go do you think they ever just do some tongue rolls just a little yeah definitely yeah stuff like that huh 8 20 to go score 35 to zero in favor of minute jog and they have a second and six here deal has been excellent we do have a little defense going on mcconnell bullying his way through that's gracious that's good for about 10. that was also good for a first down for the falcons speaking of first down steven 11-yard gain but how are you feeling about the patriots this year i'm excited i think there's going to be a lot of new faces it's going to be a a whole new culture and i don't believe i've had the opportunity to talk to you about

036it have i i'm excited i am very excited still a long ways away we can speculate all we want in the end who knows what will happen and to give a few moves made there and close to the marker nico mon jones getting a little feisty but how about the red sox four straight and the chains will move there you know what devin the orioles and the red sox are at the top of the aloe east everything is right in the world you can see you've finally gotten past 2020 and 2021 all the problems we know now life is restored there you go i like that i like that mentality seven minutes ago now um nope i totally forgot what i was going to say happens to the best of us happens to me quite

037often and the give this time ball carrier is isaiah kozub may be good enough for a first down not good enough for her first down two yards short one isaiah second down and two from the 39-yard line in the second quarter six minutes and 33 seconds left spartans down 35-0 for those just joining yeah there's definitely been a flurry it's been a i guess you could call it a one-sided battle thus far um spartans struggling to find life against a very strong miniature team uh kozo makes a few moves there and plows up the middle until he's met by about three spartans tackled by number 13 paul johnson cole johnson and lucas ferguson making the tackle there you know what i could really use dev is a little red-hot cheer that would be something the

038fire that goes up really got me going i wouldn't be surprised if there was six unanswered touchdowns after that i couldn't have said it better myself this senior night no this is like the third game senior night i know that senior night it will be versus longmeadow which actually will probably be a pretty good contest based on thanksgiving last year it was a one score game unless longmeadow improved a ton i think it'll be a dog fight looking forward to calling that one we i will be on the call of that one looking forward to it let's hope i got the invite if not it's okay um no but the last couple thanksgiving games have been great games good games both 14 7 if i'm not mistaken maybe give or take an extra point maybe

039like 14-6 something like that what are lads it was 15-7 you know not bad really and a good stick me johnny ferentino you know johnny ferentino has some good oh we have a flag devin got another flag and i believe they're going to get mojong jones looks extraordinarily guilty [Music] by implying that he's not guilty so let's see what happens spartan's holding it will be there we go no go against four penalty automatic first down nope nope no you blended you blended it a bit there yeah that's okay i was just rolling with it so i guess you were correct about mr monzone there i do apologize nico and to his family um unguilty not guilty third down 21 to go 15-yard personal fall against miniature and it's a personal foul third and long falcons

040some speed trying to get back to the original line of scrimmage it's gonna be fourth down and like nine and it'll be interesting they're they're gonna go for it it won't be very interesting to see them go for it it's like yep more than half of it back there huh what what did i say more than half of what back there more than half of the yards they lost ah it was fourth and 21 now i'm following i gotcha sure you looked at me like you saw a ghost i was like did i say something really bad no [Music] devin how's brayden today he's doing well he's doing well i like braden good guy better dude 3 30 and deal dropping back he looks fires incomplete it'll be a turnover on down downs for the

041song metal spartans here let's see if they can capitalize a song meadow has not been able to have some great offensive production as of late but let's see if they can turn that around on this ride the defense guys take a seat they did their job now my question is why do they never have offense you always see defense they're the same they both end in fence why can't we just put up an o why is it always d maybe because when you think of it like if you think about offense to like a fence is something that prevents you from going somewhere unless it's open so the defense is preventing the offense from scoring so what i'm getting at here is that the whole fence concept why they're holding the fence is because they

042want the defense to portray a fence if the offense portrayed a fence we would have a pretty boring game on our hands um no that and i'm following and and i understand that but if we're gonna talk about the english orthodox language i don't know if orthodox fits in there or not but i feel like it fits no sure sure little play on words there so 3 16 to go how many seconds is that 90 times 3 it's about 27. [Music] about 286 seconds left in the quarter half that's some good math there thank you thanks yep thanks minichal gets a couple there believe that closing in on the end of the first half i think we're gonna get red oh nevermind becker dropping back that was slings it beautiful throw mojo taken down oh

043now he does what is going on there's some clapping going on i sometimes i wish everybody was miked up well then it i mean if everyone could do it it wouldn't be that fun what well yeah i just like knowing what's going on like we have zero clue what's going on and maybe that maybe that's probably on the field relaying us some messages but unfortunately she is still experiencing technical stuff becker dropping back escapes and he is hit hard on the play got up right quick though mick harrigan who i believe has an interception made the tackle there could be wrong i believe he's got the interception i'll take over for devon becker to the sideline johnny ferentino with a catch thank you we may be having a surprise guest on our halftime show mike

044i'm getting reports trying to work something out here well don't tell me keep me in the dark well it's because i don't want to i don't want to disappoint you if it falls through we don't know what's going on here i know i appreciate that becker shotgun formation backer steps into the one two sorry wrong sport fires was that one catch did he catch that no i don't believe so fourth and short it was welby and nico mojon shorts never bad thing devin incoming some pain here nicoman jones waving off [Music] and now becker dropping back on fourth down pass complete a bb there spartans i believe they're no well they got the first down on the penalty but they get the chains moving there and under two minutes to go that was a frozen

045rope of a throw there you have no i did enjoy that so mike we may be having an interview but um there's gonna have to be some pretty good maneuvering to get through the security here at east long meadow high school because of the cove protocol i don't know if we're going to be successful with our special guests but feel like what else never are with security no we probably just warned them they're probably going to be on high alert now just a former player it's okay we'll just scratch that from the tape well we are live but no it's just a former player if he can get in it'll be pretty electric interview is that one falls incomplete under a minute to go we could do the imperial imperial curse dev just pull out

046a little harry potter make them do whatever you want no i mean why not anything's possible kevin garnett once said same with the truth yeah yeah good call yeah sure 57.2 seconds to go spartans trying to capitalize here going to the halftime feeling good feeling fluid feeling motivated becker oh yes flinging one sure goddess man and did he get in for the touchdown no no just short well what a throwing catch honestly devin that really put a smile on my face coming down with that one that was a great ball by shane becker and making the catch it was too far for me to see [Music] i do not know as well anyways up in the middle now becker doesn't get too far falcons stand strong now dev why is the clock oh we called

047the timeout good time out by mr coach morris last completion was from number nine shane becker to 35 landon landon how about that cj cology practicing placeholding is cj not gonna kick nothing would surprise me at this point in the game that would really put a frown on my face if i didn't get to see my kicker mr cj christopher john calogi so spartans you know who i saw today devin what who did you see mike i saw mr connor burks walking out of snap fitness oh wow i was a little disappointed that i didn't see yourself well i was still in there were you yeah okay i had a few hit a few more sets but anyways all right mr big man not quite it's a work in progress um but anyways 41.8 what

048did you say 41.8 seconds left on the clock some people may round up to 42 i'd rather be exact shout out shout out mr femme we can say with confidence the point eight due to significant figures that fall here go mike look at that yeah i know absolutely i took a chem exam this morning i'm feeling good time out spartans i could be a coach or a ref i would love for you to be a rap would be pretty entertaining i would i would enjoy being arrived so it looks like they got what three i would say four second down hey why not take a score into the locker room why not dev right let's have why not us let's be the guy someone's got to be the guy can't always be me i mean

049i would i'll throw on a helmet if i could i would i did play freshman year i did not i never played football i always wanted to it was fun i was just i was just on the smaller end so i decided that i'd be better be considering you do more sets than conor burks i wouldn't be surprised if you guys have beef tomorrow morning he's probably not tuned in or if he was we may have lost him 41.8 seconds left on the clock some people may round up to 42 rather i would like to keep it more exact and i'm going to stick with the 41.8 do you want me to do the sig figs part two or no no we can we could save that for later and taking the snap rolling out

050pass incomplete it's gonna be third and goal spartans was that nico mon jones at cubie i believe it was i was trying to decipher him that is extraordinarily confusing do you have any ideas as to hey why not try some new things you're down a a good margin so why don't we not just roll the dice one 60-yard play with one cubie i don't know about 60 i'm gonna say 60 and ball is loose um i believe they're gonna say it's a forward pass and it will be fourth down not a fumble 33.8 seconds left on the clock here some people may round up to 34. i would like to keep it more specific with the 33.8 considering we do have the confidence especially with the significant figures we have been provided do you like

051rehearse that like yeah every night before i go to bed fourth down goal to go spartan trying to put some life into their teeth a whole lot of yelling here from the spartan faithful yes and a catch made touchdown meadow you know to have preston longo 35 to 6. you know a lot of people here are clapping because we just scored six points i however i'm more excited just to see cj calogy get to put his foot on the ball once more time he does have quite the cannon for our right foot i just want to shout out jake griffith who says quote unquote hearing my voice on the live stream is straight beautiful i um honestly i needed that so thank you jake shout out mr jake shout out devin dobeck as well he's

052doing a pretty good job tonight on the mic oh my gosh oh wow so believe it or not our surprise guest was able to make his way in casey maloney will be conducting a halftime interview we're looking forward [Applause] so 29.8 seconds to go here 29.8 seconds left on the clock here devon some people may we got quite the oh yeah we are the security is security is tight here eddie's talking about high school 29 seconds left on the clock here for the east long meadow spartans cj calogi got to put his foot on did you know did you not use the sig figs that time no there was too much commotion all right so cj calogy set to kick away oh and it's a fake oh rolling out firing yeah that's good the fake

053play johnny ferentino finds cole johnston and it's 35-81 johnny ferentino to 13 cole johnson how about that trick play mike you know what dev i am actually going to rescind my excitement there i got a little too ahead of myself i didn't get to see cj keloji kick it so honestly i don't know if it was worth it but we'll see in the end we do get to see him kick now though so i guess that makes up for cj calogy running out there both with the ball and the placeholder let's see if cj can boot it 29.8 seconds left on the spartans here some may round up to 30 seconds even but i'd rather i would just like to keep it you botched that one i kind of got sick of myself like mid

054saying it you know does that ever happen to you it happens i mean i i do do this not quite for a living but for a fun time so maybe one day maybe one day that was i'm excited for summer but wow look at that and kick his received the falcon special teams have been nothing short of phenomenal here and he's still going cj calogy just putting down the hammer i like that 20 seconds ago 20 on the nose even 35 to 8 east long meadow spartans looking to roll into the halftime here unscathed um we have a special shout out laurie gamelli uh at home i assume [Music] she's on the lake um or is she happy to have you on our broadcast hope you're enjoying [Music] hopefully she has service and anyways pass

055complete and now breaking a few tackles and diving forward for a first down angelico and that will wind down the first half the score 35 to eight at the end of the first half spartans looking at a bit of a deficit here but still a lot of time left we're going to get about seven minutes left to play casey maloney joining us uh mike if you wouldn't mind casey how you doing how does it feel to be back in your old stopping grounds a year later it's gonna be a pretty crazy feeling it does it's it's a little different it's definitely great to be back though great to see some of the old people i was playing with coaches it's definitely a cool feeling to be back here uh anyone you'd like to shout out

056or talk to any of your old teammates that have really made an impact all of my seniors i love you boys i hope you're doing good are there any here um no there's not a lot of people in the stands how speaking of how how did you do this how did you get yourself here um just a whole lot of dedication yes just like i committed myself to the game of football i commend myself to things i say i'm going to do so you committed for football yes yes um where are you playing i'm going to umass no i'm just kidding anyways i am not i'm going to uconn next year to start a business congratulations we're happy to have you back on board it's been quite the roller coaster definitely a lot different brand

057of football but a lot of new faces a young roster and definitely a lot of upside they're trying to stick with a very talented miniature team here um now case i just gotta ask you a question here what do we see that we got a change here for the spartans to come back i mean offense offense has been moving the ball decently they got to do a little bit better though it's been it's been lacking they got first downs play call play call call's been decent i mean they mostly got to focus on the defense but again they're getting beat they're just it's not they're not doing what they're supposed to not doing their jobs they got to work together as a team if they do that they'll be fine they'll turn this around no

058problem so casey are happy to have you on board any keys to the second half that will help the spartans uh get back into this one i would say airing it out a little more i mean i know they're young i know i know they're trying but i think if we air it out it'll open up the field in more ways than than what we think so as a football fan i'd like to yes yes all right thank you for entertaining see some big plays that way too thank you for joining us casey it was a pleasure to have you on board on a beautiful friday night here at east long meadow high school the spartans trail the falcons 35 to 8 mike you had to comment all right well i'm gonna i'm gonna kind

059of wrap it up for a bit here oh unless you have something you like all right well you're watching spartans football live on lcat we'll see you for the second half [Music] is [Music] okay [Music] literally maybe if you want oh i think we're off here which is good uh oh come on third quarter of action here at east long meadow high school a little squib kick is fielded and immediately tackle made by becker on special teams interesting now i like that devin because it's better than like a you know maybe you know casey could you weigh in here on becker's neck there's some sort of thing going on there is that a neck plate or a pad what what's going on there that would be a hood a hood like like some people like

060to think of it as a style others think of it as an unnecessary prop i guess you could say yeah i like it it's a nice fashionable touch that was incredible description and so up the middle they get a chunk there that's gonna be mcconnell and johnny johnny ferentino on the tackle he's everywhere yeah he's a he's definitely an asset to the team he's probably better than frank i'd say nope [Music] frank i miss frank i wonder how he's doing he's he's doing how you'd expect i've seen him 11 27 to go and they give i believe it's back to mcconnell and he'll have enough for the first and still plowing away dragging two or three spartans he got like 15 yards on that so chains will move first down carried by 21 ryan mcconnell

061the defense i i love this this is we've we've i've not seen this before but i really love it one game actually really fires me up it's the game that we won so if anything tells us we're in for we're in for a top i believe coach donovan in the house nice to see a familiar face and stop made there by the spartans as they're able to drive it back i believe that's boydston and one more longo second down six to go and dropping back deal out to mcconnell mcconnell looking to run he breaks a tackle and gets some pretty good yardage sticks will move closing in on two minutes gone by here quarter number three very talented miniature team to say the least mike yes yep couldn't agree more to have gonna set it

062better myself are they young do you have any idea ah they're all there's a lot of uh sophomores mostly juniors and sophomores couple seniors anyway good game there they have a good future shaping up huh oh yeah absolutely they have they always have a good program they had some pretty good battles a couple of years ago the spartans unfortunately not the same barn burner here tonight at east lake middle high school but you know spartans are on an 8-0 run is all i'll say yes i'll say the same spartans already in eight i'll run nine eight left or a neutral zone infractions something like their flag there's a flag a substitution will be made here not what we needed there yes offside penalty first [Music] not ideal we got it we got the paper and

063play action pass deal drops back avoids the sack now spartans get to him [Applause] and the defense finally comes through for east long meadow here to start the second half so it will be second down johnson 14 yes good math thank you michael pretty good crowd here considering covid times so devin i never asked how was your half time was it good was the same as your halftime girlfriend okay how was your halftime that will answer my question not good it wasn't good why what happened i don't know and the give there mcconnell finds us a speedy fella truck size gap up the middle and he rips off a good chunk sticks will move so it'll be first down and gold to go it looks to be about six yards first down a goal from

064the six spartans kids use a stop here def yep nina gemelli our other insider tuning in here and mcconnell just walks into the end zone that time and minichog touchdown but number 21 ryan back on the scoreboard it is 41 to 8. now back set for the extra point he is five for five see if he can be six for six here kick is up kick is good also casey it's nice having a rules expert on board you're kind of like our jeans stereotour thank you you know what's mind-blowing to me is that gene's territory does football and basketball yeah i know he doesn't compute in my brain how he does that yeah i agree but anyways why do they blow the whistle as the ball is being kicked like literally um new role i

065think either last year two years ago dead ball no matter what as soon as the ball is snapped kick is off it's either good or it's not if it's a block it doesn't matter and plays dead so there's no blocking kicks anymore why is that you can't pick you can well you can block it but you can't pick it up and run for two points it's just like dead i don't know why they would do it it doesn't make sense but do you agree with that i would not i don't know what what the reason behind it would be the rationale yeah but hey safety first i guess right for the kids nice to have sort of opinion or rather take here cheerleaders trying to fire the team up offense we'll take the field 42-8

066here 729 left in the third quarter ball is on the 30-yard line and there's gonna be some sort of flag here starter offside naturally both sides point in opposite directions i wonder if that ever influences the referee ever probably probably a lot yeah you think they just listen they're like whoever did it first first and five honestly i'm sure that's happened on the defense first down and five for the east long meadow spartans and now dropping back oh becker is crushed huge hit there by harrigan i believe that's only a loss of about five yards so it'll be third or no it'll be second down and ten i forgot about the flag yeah i was on the money um casey i would like to see a big air out here not gonna lie so mojo

067can't haul it in pass was a little up from becker i wonder if that hit take a toll on him but he seemed to get up relatively quickly under seven minutes to go quarter three and becker is going to be a flag on minitrog so good cadence there now what is the difference between offsides and neutral zone infraction is neutral zone fraction just where you set up or where you line up yes becker takes a snap he will be passing again fires a bullet off the hands of robadoo incomplete had him unfortunately robadoo unable to haul it in and punt team out there freestyling that up yeah this is why we don't wear shorts when it is sub 60. well there's some nice kicks you're still working at under armour how's that going it's going

068that's what we like to get there is a flag three spartans finally take him down devin ever since we've said said that there have been no flags we've had some flags i'm telling you the announcer's jinx isn't under 24 joshua under uh appreciated skill in commentating one of my favorite things now honestly that you know it could work it's asking a lot considering it's 42 to eight with six and a half to go on the third know that if it if we do win it'll only because because of me so i'll take full full credit sure sure sure so how are you devin i'm doing pretty well honestly i would like to see the spartans be a little closer in this one but it is what it is i'm enjoying myself it's a friday night

069um banana nice umass hockey's playing tomorrow that's what's keeping me going we're outdoors huh we are outdoors um some of us are a little cold not myself but no i'm doing quite well i'm doing pretty solid myself my right hand is actually a little cold but definitely play by 72 lucas ferguson lucas ferguson makes the play there he played well last year for you saw it is nice to be under the lights though it is and now the give and big hit there spartan coaching staff very very cranked up landon that time coach lee practically blew a gasket out of excitement there i see that's what we like to see i see coach lee every day and let me tell you it's the best part of my day where do you see him see him

070at the gym don't you hold like four in the morning five [Music] jeez that's a great oh well he's gotta teach what's your excuse to see him pass complete that time uh it will be jonah kosov okay so there's a jonah and a josh and an isaiah cosum that's why we've been having a lot of trouble it's really confusing it's east longmeadow versus sam oh my i'm getting all my words words picked up [Applause] https act wow and so it will be a first down 4 24 to go okay so a big flashlight guy number 10 isaiah you like flashlights [Music] it's a nice phone new phone phenomenal is that the eleven no i did it's up to 12 now right i didn't i believe god talk about a set of wheels no making an

071earthquake and deal pass complete that's jello core definitely didn't pronounce that right but so far deal with a 98.6 qbr not bad where did you come up with that stat pass from deal to joe licker just first down ah i've been calculating the entire game i think it would be a little higher than that he's like almost a hundred percent with his throws yeah but it's the yardage that's killing him ah yeah the running backs have also played phenomenal between uh joseph and mcconnell like koza has like a 120 rbr that's a new thing and gives to kosov this time he is in for the score minichog up to 48 points on the evening with 303 to go in third quarter it was 28 to nothing at the end of the first so you know

072we're not bleeding as much as we were earlier which is improvement and that's all you can ask for throughout the course of a football game oh there's a lot of familiar faces here the the hold the boy clans in the building the johnson clan i hear they just went to deerfield beach florida yes i wonder what that was i couldn't tell you yeah that was there with them family can get put together a pretty good sandwich though as i said it's actually a panini but that's a type they actually are very i mean yeah sandwich yes no absolutely not why not it's not two pieces of bread it's one so yeah but a hot table ciabatta bun is one piece of bread that you cut outside so it's a roll but no so then if

073you split the bun in half then that's a sandwich huh so is cereal a soup not why yes um no wait no so cereal has milk so what's the difference between milk and broth a lot out of explicitly it comes out of chickens what does broth chicken broth i don't i don't know about that chicken it comes from chicken stock look it up yeah eight people are very uneducated it doesn't come from chickens chicken stock that's what you do when you get a rotisserie chicken yeah you get bones in the pot and then you get some broth and make a soup out of it what do you think broth just grows on trees someone is in some pain which is not funny but we just heard quite the scowl right there i do i do

074believe if nico gets it's not looking very good for him unfortunately no case why did he not run that i just want the ball oh he seems to be hurt mr delaney just being an absolute power out there yet again i i didn't play last year did he no he had a torn acl didn't play football this year basketball is here i mean nico mon jones not taking his time and he's taken down pulled a little labia on bell there reading the the defense right like airplant is who i would prefer to reference le'veon bell is that's what he's done for so or legere the superior running back of the two no nope yeah well how many rings does your your running back have it's on the jets now so clearly he's one at least

075oh he's hot on the jets he was actually he's on the chiefs he is you feel really silly right now i don't feel silly just the fact that he was in the jets i don't know how unnecessary that was but i'm with him throw the flag ref if not though that's okay right yes pass from robadoo to ferrantino so four yard gain so devin how are you i'm doing all right i actually when you started talking about cereal i got a little hankering for cereal what kind are we working with i'm thinking a little like i don't know actually i don't know what we got at the house so that will be one of those what's your favorite though like if we had to choose if the world was our oyster interesting are you are

076we talking a rice or a corn cereal the world's your oyster i mean anything i do like some cocoa pebbles you're going to take off you're getting well what's your material oh you got to put me on a spot like this yeah it's your ticket to leave are you a cinnamon toast crunch guy no of course i'm just cinnamon toast no put it up there and back to the football game a good punt by calogi and picked up i'm gonna defer are you gonna you're going to defer your ticket to leave the fifth i am all right that's okay i feel pressured to get an answer that everyone will like so i'm the pastor why you're definitely like a raisin bran guys you got me two scoops have a good one it's great to see

077you be well we'll see you on the weekend that will be a good time three of us and we should get house on that that would be a great that would be a phenomenal time a minute 20 to go and tackle made that time sorry for that brief serial interruption johnson so you didn't answer it though so i kogo pebbles i don't i i like that response are you a fruity bubble with a banana on the side no cocoa pebbles with a banana on the side not in it banana is only serviceable with peanut butter on the side honey bunches of oats no no no no frosted frosted flakes yeah but if you they they're in there too long soggy so it's not one i mean how long do you eat your cereal for how

078many how that's how big a bowl it is all right we gotta stop i'm sorry to the viewers at home we're getting back to football getting a little hungry here and sidetracked four seconds left yes 49 to eight is the score here in the third quarter and minichog moving the sticks 34 seconds left on the clock now 32 32 comes to 31. eastland meadows spartans trying to end this yes quarter with a stoppage here clock running down by the second i'm sorry we're we have a lost child with us that we're babysitting in nina camille who's trying to find her way home so the give to mcconnell mcconnell blasting through good for about nine clock reads 0.0 only one quarter remaining let's see if the east long meadow spartans can can do something about their

079quick math here 31 point deficit no [Laughter] [Music] i'm sorry didn't you have a four or five in high school and you did a four [Laughter] and you don't know that 49 minus eight is forty-one thirty-one [Music] thirty-one bro that was something else that was some calculating 12 minutes to go in this game mike what spartans got to do in this fourth quarter honestly devon we got to score points eight points will not win you a football game uh letting up 49 also will not let you win a game but honestly as a viewer of this game i would love to see just a little more offense coming from the guys in red that was some great analysis michael absolutely they pay me the big bucks we're not getting all right so devin how about

080you what do you i would just like to see them play for pride at this point you know yeah the odds are against you to win this game well the odds are back on the play by 75 garrett donahue garrett donahue will always sweat and donahue seems to be hurt [Music] 11 30 to go and so devin michael how are you i'm doing all right as i was the last quarter and they give this time to mcconnell and he goes up gets the first down sticks will move manichae not taking their foot off the gas like i would have foreseen coming nope um they are just plugging away at the spartans who are trying to hang in there but they've only allowed 21 points since the first quarter and we're into the fourth quarter now

081with and in the first it was 28 so you know the defense has been a little better unfortunately the offense has been few and far between but still a little time to get some points and they give to kosub he spins away from a man and that's good for a first down miniature we have exactly 10 minutes left in the quarter in the game and shotgun snap play action and an option play and the give to kosa he's got some wheels and look at him just slice and dice up the middle good for the first down isaiah for the first down [Music] 9 20 to go mike how's how's school going for you up at bowdoin uh it's kind of brutal not gonna lie i have a lot of exams this semester so got a

082lot of studying under my belt so far how about you going all right as mcconnell will make his way into the end zone here and minchog over halfway touchdown 21. no not over just under halfway through the fourth quarter of action how was food science did you have it today i did not have it today but it was all uh right well on the quizzes there you go so yeah yesterday it's the national er not the national the national semi final so for those who do not know could you enlighten on the viewers on who you mass played they played minnesota duluth they were out shot by a fair margin in overtime though they dominated and that proved to be the difference makers they won three to two and they got a date with saint

083cloud state tomorrow seven o'clock on espn2 i will it's a good thing this game was tonight and not sunday because i will have no voice by then there you go um heart rate was in the triple digits yesterday um with umass game pretty pretty incredible um now they were playing with their backup qb no not qb goalie um they had a pope francis kid zack stag meyer actually he's the equipment manager assistant equipment manager um and you me no umass's backup is matt murray who's the all-time wins and shutouts leaders we see right here a little all the time he's the all-time winston shutouts leader he's a pittsburgh penguins draft selection and he was a net yesterday matt murray like the guy who no they're they have the same name it wasn't that insane returned

084by number jacob lindberg who's a wild prospect who's has been playing outstanding before he got contact racing but he will be back tomorrow umass also did not have their leading scorer car seat he will be back as well so it'll it'll be interesting to see what they do against saint cloud state who's a talented program both teams searching for their first national championship but anyways back to east long meadow football 6 45 to go connor robidu takes the snap and they give us the king king doesn't get too far only good for a couple that time and this time to give it looks like king may have stumbled a bit yeah it seems like ferguson's down some good sportsmanship there from kosab we have just under six minutes left in the partito for those who

085do not speak as good of spanish as i that does mean game oh a little false start from mr number on the preston longo spartans mr preston longo who is listed position wise as a wide receiver running back who is a first year east long meadow spartan player and student his height is not available his weight zero pounds thank you max preps for that valuable information five minutes here and pass away it seemed to be a little behind uh incompletion there it was robodoo looking for robadoo how about that there you go it's got to be pretty cool are they twins you're twins wow twins no twins twins watch twins pretty cool pretty pretty good i am not a twin neither am i might you look like you wanna be twins no not with you

086you and your brother could be twins i've heard that if i had a dollar what could you buy i could i could buy the world could you know i could robadoo dropping back airs it out looking for other robodoo what a catch landon robadoo absolutely phenomenal snag from his brother connor dude that's going to be pretty cool to watch i'm sure the family loving it the whole robodoo clan is here wow then that that fired me up there's a lot of alarm here his teammates give him a warm reception three minutes and 47 seconds left in this participation event eastern spartans trail 56 to 8. the clock says fourth down 10 and 10 10 yards to go almost at inches on the 39 yard line quarter four that will have to be updated as this

087will be a first down and ten for the spartans or the east long meadows [Music] scores 56 to eight with 347 to go so i love how the cheerleaders are giving up that that was pretty electric and robin dude drops back to pass again there's another one out he's feeling good he just overthrew him had him that was ferentino so devin why is the clock running after and probably just going out on a limb here may have to do with the score but is that a is that a thing in the game of football i know it isn't hockey and soccer i believe yeah it's just it's just a little out of reach honestly at this point unless some really drastic thing happened so they're just gonna let it run and the give us to

088king king with i believe his longest run of the night he's got a first down spartans showing some life first down okay remember 20 isaiah king for the first down and now robadoo firing looking end zone got his man not johnny ferentino touchdown east long meadow you know devin connor not connor yeah connor robidu sorry he can throw a good ball yeah we just saw two really good throws johnny ferentino with the snag there how about that mike you know what evan i'm upset that casey left because as soon as the spartans start airing out some balls see some pretty good results so that's exciting as myself sitting in the stands as well i enjoy balls being thrown christopher john calogi now set to kick off kick kick the ball this is my favorite part

089of him p-a-t that thing is blasted through christopher john calogy look at him run off the field number 15. they're still running the clock that's pretty funny [Music] i wonder if the referees indicate that or if it's just kind of a it's just a vibe excuse me [Music] so devon michael final time i'm gonna have this opportunity how are you i'm doing well my friend how are you doing i'm all right good stuff good stuff what's on the tab for tonight i don't know i'm taking it easy i got a lot of work tomorrow yeah yeah how about yourself going to bed you're going right to bed yeah directly to bed are you serious yeah i'm a big bad guy it's cheap 46. yes sir by the time it's blasted plasticology through the congratulations cj
