Episode Transcript

(00:00):
So here we go to kick offthis game. Justin Miller alongside Bruce Vernon
on fourteen thirty KSI and your freeiHeartRadio app. It is SEUs City East
getting ready to kick it off tothe Ames Little Cyclones. They're wearing their
home black on black jerseys and helmetswith white pants. This one goes out
to the ten yard line. Itwill be taken up across the twenty thirty

(00:23):
forty before being brought out of bounds. That looked like Roman Johnson. They're
in on the return for the orLittle Cyclones of Ames, and we'll get
see now. Ammeron Cantwine who's beenvirtually unstoppable six total touchdowns, rushing touchdowns
last week in this team riding atwo game winning streak ever since he really

(00:45):
took over under center. Yeah,we raised our game against those last two
opponents. We can match that thateffort tonight against a better opponent. That
will that will bode well for theoutcome tonight. So with eleven fifty three
to go, Cameron will get itstarted for the Little Cyclones on the far
side. Hash Mark at the thirtysix yard line looking like they're going to

(01:08):
pass here because there's three receivers bunchedon the left side, high snap,
bobbled around. Can't Wind is goingto have to pick that one up and
is going to be taken down behindthe line of scrimmage. Just wasn't able
to haul in the ball clearly,Weather making a quick factor. Yeah,
and you know it's something we triedto avoid last week, and I think
we did. The fall starts andthe bad snaps. You know, they're

(01:30):
both or the hot little bit slightlyhigh snap or maybe mishandled by the quarterback.
You never know. It's always acombination. It's never just one person.
But puts us a second and tenplus second and thirteen here ball at
the thirty three eleven fifteen to go. Can't Wind empty backfield receiver to his

(01:51):
left, three to his right,pitches it out to Jamison Poe who's met
up quickly by three defenders there inon the stop was Dan Milton for Seussity
East and it is third and elevennow with eleven minutes to go in this
first quarter. Not a great firstpossession so far for the little Cyclones.
East will play a four man linewith four hands down, kind of traditional

(02:15):
and they don't mind lightning the boxa little bit, meaning they'll widen their
outside linebackers and kind of leave thebox with five. But it's kind of
a false five because the two outsidebackers will also have eyes inside. But
now we have no choice, theyhave no choice because we got five wide.
So empty backfield for can't wine nowon the near side, hashmark at
the thirty five, ten and ahalf minutes to go, empty backfield and

(02:37):
motion on both sides of the lines. Here, of course, both teams
pointing at one another saying no,the other one did it. No,
he did it. But it willbe called false start on number seventy one,
A P and dang for aims.So now losing five yards, it
will go from third and eleven tothird and sixteen. Let's get these out

(02:59):
of our to him right now alittle you know, like sit, the
high snap and the false start.We need to eliminate those tonight. You
know what's likely to be a tightball game. Here's the high snap.
Pant Wine's going to take it upthe midtain. He's across the forty Now
across the forty five. I thinkit'll be close to a first down.
You can't wind get that on hislegs. It looks like he did.

(03:21):
That's a name's little Cyclone first downand there's some there's some spotlight on that
first drive right there. Well,that's the danger especially you know, like
I said, they will lighten thebox, which means you know, they'll
play with five and kind of widenand widen and widen. Well, we
have one of the better Russian quarterbacksin the league and that's a threat.

(03:42):
So under ten minutes to go.Now ball at the forty eight high snap,
another flag. This could be anotherfalse start. Looks like it is
on aims and an offensive line thathas been doing so well in the past
three games of kind of keeping thosemiscues at bay struggling early tonight. Well,

(04:04):
I've said enough what those are inthe poolish categories. You have other
ones that are extra effort penalties,but the false starts are on the foolish
side, and we got to eliminatethem first. In fifteen. Now ball
at the forty three. Here's thesnap and another penalty marker and it looks
like the ref pointing on the rightside of the offensive line again, and

(04:27):
that's going to be another false startfor the Aimes. Little Cyclones backing this
from the forty three to the thirtyeight. It's first and twenty. Now
that's three, and that starts tomake you wonder that maybe the defense is
barking out some signals. Sometimes theydo that kind of in a deceitful way
where it tries to get you tojump. You know, they're allowed to

(04:48):
talk, just like we're allowed totalk. Sometimes they will shout the you
know, the they'll shout move orsomething like that. Here's the snap looking
to throw on the right side iscan't Wine. It's high but received by
Jeffrey Roberts showing off his athleticism thereon the near side sideline, and that
will be good for a gain ofabout eight. So it's second and twelve.

(05:12):
You're with nine minutes go zero zeroaims against Sious City East. One
thing I would always tell my ballboys, so who are sometimes former,
you know, injured players or something. I think you guys are key players
to I could keep that ball dry. Here's a snap, can't Wine's going
to run it up the middle,gets breaking through two tackles, goes across
the forty five. Now at theforty that looks like it should be good

(05:32):
enough for another aims little cyclone firstdown and Can't Wine. We just can't
say enough about how impressive his rungame truly is. It's coming along.
It's coming along in a way thatreminds you, you know that a classic
running quarterback, you know, youknow, my generation thinks of Tim Tebow
and maybe that. But there's here'sthe snap, high snap. Can't Wine

(05:57):
goes up, the mill breaks outtowards the right edge. He gets the
first down. He's across the thirtytwenty five, still moving across the fifteen,
finally pushed out of bounds and anotherbig gain for the quarterback with his
legs. He'll be first and tenwith eight twenty one to go. Weall
now at the Sioux City East seventeenyard line. Yeah, I guess I

(06:18):
didn't say very well. It's kindof like a permanent wildcat. Some people
go to wildcat meaning putting a runningback at quarterback and maybe a line their
quarterback wide. We're kind of we'rein a permanent wildcat situation right now,
where we have a running quarterback.Eight twenty one to go. Here's the
snap. They're going to hand itoff to Poe. He breaks out on
the left edge. He breaks outof a tackle. He's across the fifteen,

(06:39):
across the ten, across the five, pushed out of bounds and it'll
be first and goal for the AmesLittle Cyclones. Here Jamison Poe a little
slow to get up as he wasshoved well out of bounds, but eight
eleven to go back to back hugeruns for Ames here setting up first and
goal. Jamison was in the graspat the line of scrimmage, broke that

(07:02):
tackle and extended the play to theboundary and got those the rest of those
fifteen yards on his own empty backfieldhere for cam Wine takes the stem,
he's going to go straight up themill. He pushes through that looks like
it should be good for a touchdown, balls out and they put the signal
up there. Yeah, was out. So that's a touchdown for the Ames
Little Cyclones. Off of the legsif Cameron can't wind and he dances towards

(07:26):
the sideline as the Ames Little Cyclonesstrike first tonight, six nothing with eight
oh seven to go in the firstquarter, we're going to keep a touchdown,
telling him, you know, hehad six last week and that's that's
you know right now. Seven sevenconsecutive rushing touchdowns. Ball did come out,
but there's no replay in high school, so we'll take what the official
said. Here comes the kick,almost blocked, but it is up.

(07:48):
It is good. Seven nothing.A drive that did not look promising,
as there was a third and twentyat one point, but it was off
of the legs of Cameron camp Winethat got that first first down and then
the you go to him again forthe first score with eight oh seven to
go is a little cyclone seven SioueCity East nothing. It'll be the Black

(08:13):
Raiders ball here when we come back. I think you know, we were
behind the sticks probably three or fourtimes, meaning more than ten yards.
You know, like you said,we had third and thirteen. I think
we had third and twenty. Wehad a snap issue, pre fall start
and maybe a tackle for a loss. All that happened in that drive and

(08:37):
we still went. We still wentsixty five yards for a score. So
great job by our offense. Eightoh seven to go, seven nothing,
aims on top of Siue City East. It'll be the Black Raiders ball here.
Looks like it'll be a squib kick. I think they will. They
will try to feel this. We'vebeen running into teams that just fall on

(08:58):
it. I think they're going totry to feel it and run and they
do. Pick it up at thethirty yard line, cuts back towards the
middle, has blockers in front ofhim, gets across the forty five point
fifty finally brought down near the Amesforty five yard line. That is Rob
Emerson, the senior with the return. So good field position. Now for

(09:18):
Seue City East, they have capablereturn man and you know, kind of
in an overview of their special teams, I just I wrote the term on
my notes solid just solid. Theirpunters, good kickers, good return game
is solid. They almost block theextra point, so they're probably not going
to lose this game in special teams. So on the far side hash mark

(09:41):
at the forty seven with just undereight minutes to go, here's Kyle Jefferson.
He moves towards his right, looksdownfield, is met up by Ames
defender, has to throw it outof bounds, does incomplete. There is
a penalty marker though, near theforty yard line, so we'll see what
this is on and it looks likeit's in the area of a holding.

(10:01):
Defensive holding. I always forget that. I think they added the outside the
pocket throwaway in high school a coupleyears ago, did they right? They
didn't have it when I was coaching. It's a nice it's a nice ad
because he threw the ball. Hewas out here way by, there was
nobody in sight, and he justthrew it, So I thought it might

(10:22):
have been intentional grounding. But itwas a defensive hole. So this will
move the ball up from the fortyseven yard line all the way to the
thirty seven yard line. So withseven forty eight to go, aims on
top by seven. But Kyle justbeIN in this SIUs City East offense are

(10:43):
a rolling. They handed off nowto their star running back who goes up
the middle for a nice medium game. There it was Miles Wagner, the
five to eight junior who has overfour hundred rushing yards this season, averaging
almost nearly five yards of carry.Yeah, they can play. They played
different tempos and here comes Jess Fin. He throws it towards his right side,

(11:05):
finds his receiver who makes a nicecatch. Good stop though by the
defense making the catch. There wasnumber eighty one Michael Williams, and yep,
here comes at tempo third and five, with third and one with seven
thirteen to go, here's Jesspin.He hands it off to Wagner again,
who cuts up the mill. Noone inside. He's at the ten five

(11:26):
touchdown Sioux City East, just noone there to stop him. He practically
walked in the end zone. Andit's seven to six. Aims on top
with Pat pending here. They caughtus a little bit with Temple. I
knew we were ready for We workedon it this week. But they will
play different tempo and some teams havethat they have a fast and medium and
a slow check with me type.But they went fast right there, ran

(11:48):
an inside zone. He cut offthe back tackle and no, as you
said, nobody was there. Herecomes the pat end over end looks good.
It is good. So we areall tied up here seven to seven.
Wouldn't expect anything less from these twoteams. Punch for punch here to

(12:09):
start off tonight's game with seven ofour in the first quarter, Aims on
tops for hide seven to seven.It'll be Ames football here with the kickoff
from Susid East. Susid East cancan score fast. And I'll tell you
one thing that caught my eye.You know, you look and when you
look at film, you just lookfor things to catch you. And you

(12:30):
know, yes, they lost SoutheastPoke candidly like everyone else did. But
early in that game, first quarter, late second quarter, they moved the
ball down the field systematically and thenhad one big play against Southeast Poke and
put it in the end zone.And then they had another drive inside the
ten and had the ball intercepted atthe goal line. So I was like,

(12:50):
huh, yeah. You look atthe score forty eight to fourteen,
you're thinking, yeah, just anotherBut when you move the ball successfully against
the defending state champion, the numberone team in the state, you have
potential. So here comes the kickoffby Sioux City East. It is Roberts,
Poe and Johnson back to receive thisone, though a little pooch kick

(13:13):
around the thirty five yard line,picked up and brought out of bounds near
the forty yard line. So Amesnow will get the ball in pretty good
field position. You know, youcan just tell they're a team that works
on special teams because they do differentthings. When they kick deep, they
they place it, they put exactlywhere they want it, usually outside the
numbers. The first kick went outsidethe numbers. This one was a pop

(13:37):
up to the thirty and they wantto catch somebody off guard, but we
handled it very well. I formationfor Ames first and ten ball at the
forty seven to seven game. Here'sthe handoff to Poe. He goes up
the middle, but he's met quickly. They're meeting him up right away with
number forty five, Francisco Diego,the defensive lineman senior, bringing down Jamison

(13:58):
Poe a gain of two. Stillthough for the Ames Little Cyclones, they'll
bring up second and eight. Theystay in their forty front most all the
time. They will sometimes play aforeshell behind it, kind of an umbrella
coverage. And then but they're movingtheir safety up in the box. Their
safety's heels are at about seven yardsand he's he's got a heavy head forward.

(14:18):
So the middle of the field isvery is very susceptible to getting hurt.
Second and eight, six point threeto go, can't wind takes a
snap, He's going to go straightup the middle, breaks out of a
tackle, kits another Ames the LittleCyclones first down with six fifteen to go,
and now flip the field and it'snow the Little Cyclones are in Sioux

(14:39):
City East territory, great block bynumber forty four for US Jason Roberts came
out of nowhere and he was workingten yards downfield six oh four to go
in the first quarter seven to sevengame. Here ball placed at the Sioux
City East forty nine yard line,empty backfield for can't wind. Two receivers

(15:01):
to is right, one to hisleft. They're showing six minute the line
of scrimmage. Er brought I snapbreaking out of the blitz is cam Wine
for a good gain of about fivethere straight up the middle again for the
quarterbacks. They'll bring up second andsix. They stood six may they had
their four down linemen. They walkedher two linebackers up in the B gap,
so they had six men standing atthe line of scrimmage. And sometimes

(15:22):
they bail out of that and sometimesthey played it. They played it,
which is risky and if you canbreak through that same you're gone. And
if but we handled it pretty wellfor a five yard game for five point
twenty to go in the first quarterballat the forty five years the snap.
Can Wine hands it off to Jamisonwho cuts up the middle near the first

(15:43):
down marker, but will be justshort about a yard or two for the
junior running backs. They'll bring upthird and short with five minutes to go.
A little bit, a little bitawkward mesh point there where the handoff
between the quarterback and the running backis was a little bit jumbled. I'm
not sure if I don't know whichone turned the wrong way, or maybe

(16:03):
neither one did, but it wasn'tsmooth. Third and two with under five
minutes to go. Here's the directsnap cam. Wine goes up the mill
cuts back towards the right, rakesout of a tackle. He's at the
thirty, he's at the twenty,and yep, flags all over the place
has holding written all over it.There's a big hole on that right side.

(16:26):
Well, if this was a wayEast is going to play, they
did it again. They they putit's six people showing very active positions at
the line of scrimmage, and wewere able to break it through the same
and you know, gain twenty yards. But we hadn't. I think we
had an open field hole there.But if they take that kind of if

(16:49):
those if they take those kind ofchances, I think we're gonna we're it's
gonna be a big play. Night, it's going to set up to be
a big play night. So withfour thirty seven go, instead of it
being at Ames Little Cyclones first downin the two City East twenty five yard
line mark, this one gets backedup to the forty four yard line,

(17:11):
making it a third and five,seven to seven game in the first quarter.
Four thirty seven to go in thisfirst quarter. No, sorry,
that's a very impactful. You're right, we're first and now going on the
score and now we're third and fivein the midfield. If we don't get
it, or if we you know, we could punt, So that a
huge swing. So here's camp Wine. He's going to fake the handoff,

(17:33):
take it himself up the middle.He looks like he stopped right at the
first down marker up the middle,but it should be good enough for an
Ames Little Cyclone first down. We'llsee what the refs say here in they
point that is an Ames Little Cyclonefirst down going right up the middle.

(17:53):
Is camp Wind good blocking by thatoffensive line early here with four three to
go, ball will be placed atthe Sioux City East thirty nine yard line.
So three receivers to camp Wine's left, one to his right, empty
backfield ball place on the right halfsmark at the thirty nine yard lines.

(18:18):
We hit the four minute mark,hand one looking to throw fires at has
Jeffrey Roberts white, but overthrew himand he puts both hands on his helmet,
knowing that he missed a big opportunitythere with his main receiver and Jeffrey
Roberts wide open on the left side. I'll bring up second and ten.
Yeah, I can tell by yourvoice everyone up here we could see it

(18:41):
is like it was open and itwas you know, don't you know.
There's a lot of old sayings infootball. One is, don't overthrow a
wide open receiver, and we did. But we'll get another chance here.
Like I said, they're taking afew chances and it's gonna it's kind of
tailor made for a big play night. It looked like the more in their
base defense right now with their linebackerstheir regular depth under four minutes. So

(19:04):
can't wind takes the direct step goesright up the middle. Why not when
it keeps working as he gets aboutfour or five yards on that carry,
bringing up now third and manageable withthree forty five to go in this first
quarter, seven to seven ball gamehere. It's a good one. It's
gonna be neck and neck all night. You can just feel it in the
air. Yeah, second, second, third and five here in the last

(19:30):
few downs, this will definitely betwo down territories. So we don't necessarily
have to get here, but youdon't want to get a loss, so
empty backfield for can't wine. Hepitches it out to Jamison Poe, who
goes up on the left side,has blockers. He's across the twenty oh
five touchdown. What a penalty markerat the fifteen yard line. They call
that, and they're gonna call thisa holding, so take the touchdown off

(19:53):
the board. It was this isI have to This was one where it's
just your effort. Maybe the faultwas when your hands leave, leave the
frame of your body. That's andand that's when they're going to call a
hold. That's what official can seewhen that when your hands leave the frame
of your body and our hands extended. But it was a tremendous effort down

(20:19):
downfield blocking. Everything was good aboutthat. That would not be a hold
tomorrow. That would not be ahold on Sunday. High School calls it
slightly differently sometimes and a little bitmore cautiously and another peltal marker. This
one might go on Brian Sousser ashe was chirping towards the ref and it
looks like it's a sideline warning orthe aims little cyclones, but still something

(20:45):
to watch for. Yeah, Sonow waving forward kind of a favor.
When an official does that, theycould, you know, get angry and
they know that was a that wasa that was a close call, so
they kind of give them break alittle bit. But sideline warning, it's
better than a fifteen yard flag.So three minutes to go, it will

(21:07):
be a first down for the Ames, little cyclone seven to seven. With
three to zero, four to go, they give it to Poe again,
who goes up the mitts, breaksout of a tackle. He's across the
twenty twenty five for fifteen. Iapologize brought down at the eighteen yard line,
near the fourteen yard line actually,So it'll be two fifty eight to
go, another Ames first down andthey're going to show some tempo here and

(21:32):
here's the snap on first and ten, hands it off to Jamison. Poe
goes on that left head, hasblockers. He's across the five got brought
out bounds. But say it's atouchdown. Yeah, it's a You know,
that's the difference when you don't havethose extra officials. You know,
you're only playing with five. Theydidn't have someone run on the line,
so the guy that was trailing edgesaid, I'm going to call that.

(21:56):
He had no good look at it, but the pylon got knocked down and
we got the call. But theexcellent, excellent run. I'm glad Jamison
got that after having those previous thirtyyarcs taken away on a hole two fifty
one to go aimes on top nowfourteen to seven against Sue's City East,
and that was a great run byJamison Poe, great blocking on that left

(22:19):
side, and coach, we've seenit these past three games, Jamison Poe
being able to utilize the edges ofthat offensive line and show off what he
does best, and that's going fast, fast downfield. Yeah. I think
it was army way back in theday before my time. I think there

(22:40):
was a guy they called mister inside, and they called them another one they
called mister outside. We kind ofare chaping up like that. Cameron's becoming
mister inside. He's running that insideQ run game we call it where the
quarterback is the carrier, and Jamisonis really starting to you know, get
his feet going up outside of theoffense. So and then you know,

(23:03):
I think we need to add Westart adding a little bit with the passing
game, and then we're looking forthat complete offense that we've talked about.
Hey, they did a nice drivein our squib last time. They look
like they're already they're all athletic enoughto take it. This one hops up
towards the thirty yard line once againto Rob Emerson, cuts across towards the
middle, gets across the forty twoyard line before being brought down just shy

(23:26):
of the Sioux City East forty five. So he'll be first and ten now
for Kyle Justpin and this Sioux CityEast offense. But again ames on top
fourteen to seven with two forty threeto go in this first quarter, off
of a touchdown run by Cameron can'tWine and now another touchdown run by Jamison
Poe. You know, I justhate to give them the ball in the

(23:47):
forty three yard line, but theythey look like they're probably the most prepared
for our squip kicks of anybody allseason long, including Valley and others.
Two receivers to just Bins right,he's going to hand it off to Gosh
talenty marker in the backfield as Goshgoes up across the forty five near the
fifty. But this one looks likeit's going to be coming back, probably

(24:08):
offensive holding in the inst it is, so we'll be first and fifteen now
with two thirty eight to go,aims on top fourteen to seven. I
have to talk a little bit aboutthat. I'm in no position to see
that. That's one I'd have tolook on film. But sometimes, just
sometimes, if you're in the yearthe official and the holdings have went like

(24:29):
three against us, none against them, and all of a sudden you get
this little, this little random youknow guard when the when the referee throws
it's it's got to be happening outof the guards or centers that might be
uh sorry, sorry about the lastone. Coach Snauser ball put at the
thirty three yard line two and ahalf minutes go. Shotgun formation for Jessman.
He's looking to throw fires at wideopen on the left side, but

(24:52):
over through his intended receiver Logan dolphin, but once again showing off the talented
arm is kl Jesspin. He's asophomore who's two yards away from passing two
thousand yards this season, completes nearlysixty percent of his passes and has seventeen
touchdowns so far. Plays well abovebeing a sophomore. Yes, this is

(25:14):
a team that is on the rise. They're going to be better next year
and maybe maybe even better in acouple you know, in two years.
Shotgun formation jess Ben has what's coming, fires it off towards the lily clush,
but mat up quickly at the thirtyyard line, and that appeared to
be Lane Kenny in on the stop, showing off his tackling skills there.

(25:37):
And yes it was number three LaneKenny with the big stop in the backfield.
Now it will be third and twentythree. Smartest player on the field,
I would argue in including football IQsaw that screen from a mile away.
He was lined up at ten yards, I believe, and saw that
developing and made a tackle for aloss under two minutes to go in the

(26:00):
first quarter. Shotgun formation for jessBen has three receivers sorry now crup receivers.
Who is right one to his left. Here's the snap, rolls out
towards his right, looking downfield,fires that has a man open and just
passed his outstretched arm. Two defendersthere right behind him had him open there
for a second. Once again,it was number eight Logan Dolphin the intended

(26:22):
receiver. So he'll bring up fourthand twenty three with one thirty three to
go. In the punting squad nowcoming out for the Black Raiders. They
use motion very effectively. And I'mgonna tell you right now, you've said
it with the stats, this youngman can control the football. He pot
a arm, yeah he is.He is in probably the top two quarterbacks

(26:44):
we face this season and only aslophomore. Yeah. He just throws it
effortlessly. I was a flick ofthe wrist and the ball went I think
fifty yards in the air. Ipunt goes out towards the thirty takes and
aims bounce and will be fielded aroundthe twenty seven yard line. Picking it
up was number twenty three JJ gosh, and it will be the Ames little

(27:07):
Cyclones ball here with one twenty threeto go, trying to extend on their
fourteen to seven lead. Here inthe first quarter. That's an example of
their good strong kicking game right there. That was a They have good coverage,
they have a good snap thirty sevenyard net of field difference, and
you know, anything over thirty youconsider positive yards for yourself. So Susude's

(27:30):
kind of had a game of sevenright there with a good punt game.
First and ten ball at the Amesthirty. Here's a snap. Can't Wine
hands it off to Poe, putsit off to Jeffrey Robbers, can't Wind,
who finds his man in Poe,who bobbles it but pulls it in.
He's across the fifty, across theforty, across the thirty, still
going brah out of bounds inside theten. And what a play on first

(27:56):
and ten by the Ames Little cyclonesfleet classic fleet flicker. You got a
handoff on a sweep action, youhand it off again on the reverse action.
The reverse player pitches it back tothe quarterback, and you throw it
to the original person that came out. So all those things are happening.
One to the left, one ofthe right, pitch back to the quarterback.
But the big thing, Jamison madean unbelievable catch under pressure. So

(28:22):
now first and ten ball at theeleven shotgun formation for Cantwine. Hindstap has
to pick it up. Now herolls out towards his left, breaks out
two tackles. He's inside the fiveshort of the end zone. Brought down
at the one yard line. Butthis should be good enough for a person
and yep, there's the penalty marker. So I'll be another holding and then

(28:45):
that I mean, I think I'llgripe about this to the day to take
my mic away the whole you know, the spot foul in high school football,
you know, So that thing wasthat was eight eight yards deep in
the backfield, so this would bean eighteen yard penalty. So instead of
being first and goal at the one, the ball gets pushed all the way

(29:10):
back to the twenty one yard line, making it first and twenty. Now
that's strange because he threw that.Unless they did change that rule this year,
you don't go to rule rule meansanymore. But you still if you
hold the ball, if you know, if you have a whole five years
deep in the backfield, ends upbeing fifteen yard penalty ball at the near
side. Hash Mark got the twentyone under fifty seconds in this first quarter

(29:32):
fourteen to seven. Aims on topcan't wind three bunch receivers to his left,
one and to his right. Can'tWind takes the direct snaf goes right
up the middle, breaks out ofa tackle still running across the ten near
the five yard line, and heis brought down with thirty seconds to go.
He will be short of the firstdown marker, so be second and
very short well twenty five seconds togo. Ball at the four yard line.

(29:56):
This is the best I've seen ouroffensive line block all season without a
out empty backfield, can't wine,He's gonna go straight up the middle again.
They look like they stopped him,though no call yet by the officials
there it is he will be short. Then on the stopless number twenty two
chase you he will have a firstdown though, so we'll have first and

(30:17):
first in inches, first in incheswith eleven seconds to go. Ten seconds
now empty backfield for can't wine andprobably expect him to go right up the
middle. But the stop balls onthe ground and it's a turnover. Looks
like SEUs City East picks it upyap again gets us or it's not always.

(30:37):
I don't want to always put iton the snap is that you know,
our Cameron we get have a lotof praise and he deserves every bit
of it. But there's a catchradius you know where he kind of once
you've made your calls, you gotto be ready to catch that ball that's
maybe a little higher, maybe not. Everyone's in the right spot, but
we get caught off guard. I'ma little hot, but so with one

(31:03):
second remaining, Sioue City East first, first, first and six inches in
a little hour playing defense. Here'sjust been at his own six yard line.
Two receivers to his left, onetoo is right. He's going to
hand it off to Wegner, whogoes right up the middle for a nice
gain. He's going to be shortof the first down marker, but it

(31:26):
should be around second and short.Second and two. But man, exciting
first quarter there comes to an end. It is the Ames Little Cyclones on
top fourteen to seven against the SiouxCity East Black Raiders. But it is
a turnover that gives the ball rightback to Sue City East. So we
will come back with more first halfaction once again, fourteen seven Little Cyclones

(31:49):
on top. We'll go ahead,take a break. You're listening to Ames
High Football on fourteen thirty. Heya s I, So here's the hand
on the weger. He goes onthe left side, gets across the thirty
five forty That would be good enoughfor Sue City East. First down and
quickly welcoming you back to the broadcast. Justter Miller alongside now Hall of Famer

(32:13):
Bruce Vernon as the Ames little Cyclonesare on top. Fourteen to seven.
Here is another snap, quick tempofor Sue City East. They give it
to Wecker again, who gets upthe middle, but stopped quickly. So
bring up second and long and finallygive us a minute to take a break,
and he set this second quarter foryou guys. Fourteen to seven,

(32:36):
aims on top eleven fifteen to go. It is second and seven ball at
the forty six for Sue City East. You're right, yeah, it's it's
been a lot happening so far.Three touchdowns, turnover penalties. It's a
shotgun formation for Jess beIN. Hebreaks out of a sack. He's going
to keep it, cuts up themiddle, has the first down, slides

(32:59):
near the four forty yard line.So the sophomore showing that he can also
get it done with his legs aswell, so it'll be another first down.
Now it is Seue City East,who is in Ames territory, falling
out the forty two, just beenlooking to throw, finds this big tight
end across the thirty five. Makesa man mess. He's across now the

(33:20):
twenty five brought out a bounceeer thetwenty another penalty marker, though I'm act
the thirty yard line, I'm notsure with that. There didn't seem to
be anybody out there in the hole. It was the beginning of a horse
caller, but it wasn't. It'snot a horse caller and to unless you
take someone to the ground with it. We were behind, you know,
we did have it and just beIN. He finds his tight end there.

(33:44):
Michael Williams, who has the gainas of right now, gonna wave it
all. So yep called it coachthat it's going to be a first down
for Snue City East. Ball isnow at the twenty yard line with ten
thirty seven to go, and soonsaid the Yeast marching down the field quickly.
Two receivers to just bins left toto his right, and it looks

(34:07):
like a time out called here bycoach Brian Souser of the Ames Little Cyclones.
With ten and a half minutes togo, they'll be there first of
two timeouts. They're in every offense, Every passing offense has something there that
they can they can hang their haton, or they take every time it's
there. When we were thrown withour great All State quarterbacks with strab and

(34:32):
Frankel and and Anderson, is thatwe always took the hit if they gave
us a hit through the hitch almostevery single time. Meaning if if a
defensive back was off by say sixyards and took one step backwards, we
were going to take that hitch.Well, they take the speed out anytime
they get on it. So theirslot receiver just runs a just a quick

(34:54):
speed out to the sideline. Nowthat's a very difficult play to defend,
but it's also a play to throwbecause you're throwing it right. Hitting a
moving target going away from you asopposed to a hitch is kind of throwing
to a standing target. But theythrow a really good speed out. That's
what That's what busted loose on onthat previous play, and they will take

(35:14):
it anytime they they have it.It's like an automatic Jepson and the Sious
City East offense at the twenty yardline of Ames on the far side halfmark.
They're going to hand it off toWecker who goes up the middle sport
of the fifteen yard line, sothey'll be third and medium. Now we're
the Black Raiders, We're we're kindof giving a two man look with a

(35:37):
five man box. So you gotyour you're playing heads over all the receivers,
but we are. You can alsoblitz off of that. You can
also or come off it with asafety because you you do have a safety
over the top dockum formation. ForJepson, he pumped fakes left, still
looking left, breaks out of asack, fires upfield of Williams. Ball

(35:58):
has popped up. Good defense thereWow by the corner trying to look and
find his number. He's on thefar side. He will be coming towards
the sideline. That might be JeffreyRoberts who gets it done all over the
place. For the Ames little Cyclones, it is Michael Williams the intended receiver.
Once again, for Jepson, anytimeyou have a real quality receiver playing

(36:20):
defensive back, if he can gethis eyes on the ball, he'll just
play it just like an offensive player. Here's the handoff to Wagner. He
goes up the right side of theoffensive line. He's going to be short
of the first down mark or gooddefense there. He'll bring up fourth and
short with under ten minutes to go, fourteen to seven aims on top decision
time here and this is once againanother of the many teams that don't don't

(36:42):
run quarterback sneaks and the Ames littlecyclones having all again another time out.
Good, good use of time out, because I don't think we were aligned.
But you know the guess the tushpush hasn't hit the high school football.
Yeah, I don't know if it'slegal. Well I think you can
still you can aid the runner now, but I know that the NFL is

(37:06):
going to take a look at thatjust because it's becoming a very awkward play.
But you know, anytime, Ican guarantee you this back the previous
thirty years, if we were fourthand one with the quarterback sneaks, so
you'd think they would we had oneearlier we were well, we were in
the goal line first. Yeah,those are almost automatic quarterbacks sneaks. But

(37:28):
I do understand if you're not undercenter. It's also not very smart to
go under center if you're never undercenter, because that's a possibility for a
for a funnel snap. So butto watch Sushi stand out here in five
wide and a quarterback at four anda half yards when they need one half
of the yard, it's a verystrange, very strange. Look. Jepson
had a big sophomore either five nine, one sixty five in the shotgun formation,

(37:52):
ball at the eleven yard line,fourth and inches. Here, two
receivers to his right, one tohis left. Here's the snap. They're
going to hand it off to therunning back cuts towards the left sideline,
gets the first down across the fiveyard line, so he'll be first in
goal now for the Black Raiders withnine thirty six to go in this first
half. Yeah, he's not evenin the pistol. I mean sometimes you'll

(38:14):
have a quarterback with his heels atfour and a half maybe and maybe the
back behind him his heels are atsix yards. So now on the near
side, hash Mark, they handedoff to Wegger again, who goes on
the right side but is met inthe backfield, breaks out of the tackle,
but that slowed him down enough wherethe defense is able to pounce on
him, and he'll bring up secondand goal with nine to twenty eight to

(38:34):
go. Well, you know we'replaying it. We're playing a defense that
is challenging them to run, meaningwe're we're covering people with safety help over
the top. So that's universal tosay run the football if you can,
and they're able to do it rightnow. But I think we'll figure it
out. Fourteen to seven aims ontop end the first half, nine minutes
to go, second and goal.Stepson in the shotgun receiver to his right

(38:59):
and left. He's looking to throwfires on the left side. That ball
incomplete in a penalty marker that lookslike they threw it on Jamison Poe.
I don't even know if that ballwas capable. Yeah, catchable is not
a rule in high school, butit sometimes should be. But that was
a very poor route combination for them. They ran a return motion where the

(39:22):
receiver runs a motion across, hegets the center, turns around and goes
right back to where he was.That ball was thrown right in between their
two receivers. Neither one of themcould catch it, but they said we
had our hands on their receiver.I don't agree with the call. So
with the under nine minutes, youknow, aims on top, fourteen to
seven of them. Bring up nowsecond and three three yards away from the

(39:44):
goal line. Not an automatic firstdown in high school. Here's a snap
looking to throw his jeps and he'sbacked up well behind the line of scrimmage.
Has to fire this one out andthat is incomplete. Three aims defenders
just shot out of a cannon towardsthe young colt and he had nowhere,
no time to get that ball out. Yeah, he was outside the pocket

(40:06):
and threw it beyond the line ofscrimmage. And I've mentioned that before that
that's just a good rule change.Back in the day, you couldn't do
that. So then you'd have tohold onto the ball and get just you
know, annihilated back there as aquarterback. But now they can play another
down. Here's the shotgun formation forJepsen. He hands it off to Wegger
who goes up the mill. He'sgoing to be short of the end zone,

(40:27):
might be a yard short. Gooddefensive stop again by the front linemen
of the little cyclones, and itlooks like Jepson is going to stay out
here. They're going fast, tworeceivers to his right, one to his
left. Weger in the backfield withhim eight thirty to go, fourteen to
seven aims on top. They handedoff to Wegger who goes up on the
right side untouched, and that isa touchdown for the Sioux City East Black

(40:51):
Raiders and they are pat away fromtying this game up with eight twenty five
to go in the first half.I think they had a nice tendency breaker
right there. Say he's an offsetback, you know, so he's not
directly behind his quarterback. He's eitherto the rights or the left. And
when he's to the right, theyrun left. And when he's to the
left, they've been running right.That time he was to the right,

(41:12):
and they ran that ball to theright, which is a tendency breaker.
You know. Here's the pat anda wren looks good. It is good.
So it's fourteen fourteen between the LittleCyclones and the Black Raiders with eight
twenty five to go in this firsthalf. It will be ames Little Cyclones
football touchdown coming off of the legsof Black Raiders running back Miles Weger.

(41:37):
He only had eighty five yards andno touchdowns last week against De Moine Lincoln
tonight already two touchdowns for the bigrunning back. You know we haven't faced.
I'm a big I love tempo.When it works, it looks good.
So this is exciting for me towatch. But I hope I want

(41:57):
us to be able to figure thisout. But you know it, it
gets people tired to tell you thatmuch. And it always affects the defense
more. I know both teams areon the field, but it always affects
the defense more. When you're gonnago super fast and they've been able to
have success going fast on about threeor four occasions. You got to be
able to either repeat your defensive callor have a quick chock to the sideline

(42:20):
or heavily a real leader like youknow, like we have in Lane Kenny
and getting your defensive defense set inonly about five seconds, eight twenty five
to go, all knotted up atfourteen between Ames and Sue City East.
Kickoff here another pooch kick across thetwenty five that bounces off of an Ames,
a little Cyclones receiver and the ballis out again as he was hit

(42:40):
hard on the ground. Is SueCity East and that's gonna be another turnover
this time it was off of thehands of twenty one Tory in Cotton who
he bobbled it and just was neverable to haul it in and was hit
really hard on that near fares sidehash Mark. Another turnover by the Ames
little cyclones. They have a realweapon in their kicker, and it's not

(43:05):
just your classic weapon who could bangit out of the back of the end
zone like you know, like abig leg. But he is he could
hit it wherever he wants, sohe can just he I'm sure they look
to the nideline and the coach probablygives him some kind of signal and he's
able to put that ball exactly wherehe wants. And that's what he did
right there, ball on the nearside hash Mark. At the Ames thirty

(43:25):
four yard line, Jepson and theSious City ease Black Raiders with the ball
shotgun formation. Here's a snap lookingleft pump fakes left, fires up the
middle drop Jeffrey Roberts at the fifteen. He goes across the twenty twenty five
brought out bounds. There was apenalty marker it looked like or maybe it
was just the reft throwing out tomark where the interception happened. So that

(43:50):
is a turnover and a big onefor the Ames little Cyclones, and they
get the ball right back. Well, Jeffries, not only you know,
you don't forget how to catch itwhen you go over to the de fencer
side. They brought motion. Theyhad three receivers to the boundary, one
to the field, and they broughtmotion across and they ran a slant wheel
combination. So the outside receiver rana slant, the motion receiver ran a

(44:13):
wheel route, and Jeffrey played itlike it was to him. Shotgum formation.
Here's can't Wine fakes the handoff,the poe rolls out towards his left
pushes forward for a gain of aboutfive He was hit at the line of
scrimmage and gained four or five yardsthere in on the stop for the two
City East Black Raiders. It wasnumber twenty four Jacob Bifogal with the linebackers

(44:36):
sophomore. I think we can heruns the ball tough he I mean right
there he was hit with a oneyard gain and he ended up with a
five yard game. Shotgun formation.If you can't Wine on the far side,
hash mark at the thirty one secondand five handed off to Jameson Poe.
He goes up the middle. Thistime he's good enough for a first
down and some more, but finallybrought down just shy of the forty yard

(44:58):
long was seven and a half minutWe're all tied up fourteen to fourteen here
in the first half. We arebetter in this unit matchup right here,
me our offensive line versus our defensiveline. We have the distinct advantage and
we got to be able to useit, and then it should set up
our play action passing game. Here'sthe snap, can't wind hands it off

(45:20):
once again to Jamison Poe. Show'soffice speak goes up the mount. He's
across the fifty, No one infront of him. He's at the tenth
the five touchdown. Ames little CyclonesJamison Poe. That speed and explosiveness showing
off tonight as he scores his secondtouchdown, twenty to fourteen with seven minutes
and eleven seconds to go. Herein the second quarter, Pat Pending Casey

(45:45):
will Hites having a game up front. He's he's made making some key blocks
and we're just we're just being dominantup there. I mean, we're on
our way to two hundred and fiftyyards rushing if not more, if we
keep this going and the PAP isa lot, tell you what that time
by number five Hasten Claiborne. That'sthe freshman leading tackler on the Seux City

(46:07):
East team. So it's twenty tofourteen with seven eleven to go here in
the first half. That's just goingto worry me because this has all the
makings of two really closely matched teams, and they have had almost blocked to
pap and then then just did blockone. And then they also are very
good at their placements on their kickoff, so they're it's tilting their way in

(46:32):
the special teams right now and weneed to get it back to our side.
The rain coming down here still inames seven eleven to go in the
first half, twenty to fourteen,little cyclones on top of Sue City East.
Susity East though, looking to getthe ball back and trying to make

(46:52):
good after turning the ball over ontheir first possession there on their last drive.
Are you seeing Yeah, look it'ssprinkling. It's not as heavy as
it was, but yes it is, uh still coming down a little there.
Here's the squiptcake. It bounces offof the defender. He goes across

(47:13):
the thirty on the right side,brought down at the worst collar on us.
There, here's the penalty marker.I wonder if that's a point of
emphasis this year, because they've beenreally quick to call that. Yeah,
the rule is simply if you haveyour hand in there in the back of
the swilder pads and the collar andyou have to bring him all the way
to the ground. That was justa passing by his hand slipped off.

(47:38):
I don't think that should have beenSo the ball will be placed. Are
they are going to figure out whereto put it after the penalty marker.
But seven oh three to go herein this first half twenty to fourteen Ames
little cyclone lead over to City EastSzeue City East with the ball, Jepson,

(47:59):
who only had as six interceptions goinginto this game, throws his first
interception in his last three games here. They called that a five yard face
mask. So it wasn't I apologize. I shouldn't have been get off my
soapbox on the horse collar tackle.It was just a simple five yard face

(48:20):
mass. You're in the Hall ofFame, you can say whatever you want.
Now that's right ball placed on thefar side. Hashmark got the thirty
seven yard line of the Black Raiders. Jepson in the shotgun formation has Wegger
in the backfield with them receiver tohis right end left. Here's the snap,
hands it off to his running backwho goes on the right side.
Brought down quickly, maybe a gainof one or two there. It'll bring

(48:44):
up second and long. They wentto their twelve personallel which is one bag,
two tight ends, and it's adifferent look. It's a different look,
and they like to run the ballmore out of this and also play
action pass. So shotgun formation,high snap, give it to the running
back again. But he brought downright at the line of scrimmage by number

(49:05):
seventy seven. Casey Willett, theoffensive lineman six three two thirty sophomore,
coming up with the big tackle andit's third and eight with under six and
a half minutes to go, aimsup by six. I thank he got
on the scale before the season,because I'm not sure on that weight.
He's a So here's the shotgun formationbacking up looking to throw his jeps and

(49:29):
he has a man in one onone covered balls better round, but he
picks it up. He's at theten to five. That is number four
aj Fleminster, the wide receiver seniorwith the touchdown, and we are all
tied up right there on the stopthough Tory and Cotton was able to top
that ball up, but just greathand eye coordination by the senior to haul

(49:52):
it in. I just got tosay that was just fortunate. I mean,
you know, you make your ownluck out there. But Torrian was
in perfect Verch got his hand inthe ball. The ball went up in
the air, like you said,kind of about five yards up in the
all and just landed in the handsof the receiver who went to the end
zone. And Tourian's on the groundgoing which this happened, I thought,
I broke up a pass. So, trying to take their first lead of

(50:15):
the night with six of three togo in this first half, is Sue
City East pat pending. Here's thesnap kick, nearly blocked by the Little
Cyclones, but it is up andit is good. So six o three
to go. Sue City East takesa one point lead, twenty one to
twenty. It'll be ames Little Cyclonesfootball. Though with six o three to

(50:37):
go, they missed a false startthere. You know it would have they
would have backed it up and uh, he didn't make that by very much,
but they missed a little flinch outof the right tackle. So six
of three to go Ames. Weexpected this one to be close out of
the last. These two teams haveonly played twice since twenty ten, and

(51:00):
they've split both of them, andthe road team has won both times,
and it'll be a close one.Talk to me about those I don't have
what do you have the years onthat. I'll look those raft time,
because yeah, I just saw thatit's been twice since twenty ten. We
have tremendous as long as there's aOne of the most famous games in Anti

(51:25):
history was played against Susit the Eastat Susi the East in the playoffs in
nineteen eighty six. I believe I'lltell you about it when we have some
time. All falls down off ofthe tea so they're going after retee It.
We got some time right now,right, so I can give you
a quick version. So we madethe playoffs for the first time in quite

(51:45):
a long while. I was juston the freshman staff, but they had
to We took like fifteen buses.I don't know what it was. Greyhounds
to Susi the East and they saidwhen they pulled up, I was scouting
that night, but when they pulledup, they said it was a scene
themike they'd ever seen because it wasour first trip in the playoffs. And

(52:07):
at Susit the East. Here's thechop up. Lane Kenny at the thirty
yard line goes on the right sideacross the forty now pushing towards the forty
five yard line. Finally brought downbut lost of yards off of the return.
Good move by coaching. I thinkyou put lane Kenny over there in

(52:30):
that little target area where they liketo throw it. They're just they're just
trying to kick a pop up tothe thirty outside. The numbers make it
feel a little awkward and maybe ifit's high enough, lay a big hit
on the guy that catches it.But that was a little low to be
effective. Empty backfield for can't windtwo receivers too is right now he motions
in Poe ball on the bar sideforty five yard line hash mark. Here's

(52:52):
the high snap hand off to Jamison. Poe goes up the middle, once
again showing off the speed, getsthe first down now is across the forty
short of the thirty five yard line, but a big gain by the running
back there. Yeah, right now, there's not a there's not an answer
or they don't have an answer forour running game on the ground though.

(53:16):
The number five single digchit is numberYeah, that's case in Claiborne. That's
that freshman linebacker who leads the teamwith twenty seven solo tackles thirty seven and
a half total tackles as a freshman. Right yeah, freshman. You never
want to see go down six threeand ninety five pound freshman. I tell

(53:37):
you what, you you're you're right. This team, this program is looking
in good shape. And you knowthey have a strong, strong tradition going
back to Walt Fiegel, one ofthe all time legendary coaches in the history
of the state of Iowa. Susitthe East has probab in their football program
and you know they have they havesome some tools this year, but they

(54:01):
look like they return quite a goodlineup over the next couple of years.
So look for them to be aforce in northwest Iowa. Oh, they're
waving on the student that's a nevera good sign. Hope everything is okay.
Yeah, looking at it, Lookingat there's lower limb, so at

(54:22):
least it's not anything up, butlooks like they're going to have to give
room as the cart will come outhere. Hope everything is okay. This
gives us a second though to breatheand gives us time to thank our Aims
High Football sponsors while they tend tothe young man. Time to go check

(54:43):
out though. This weekend you betterget out there and go to Inside Golf.
It's the regrand opening for Inside Golf. There's discount prices on all the
cool stuff you want to go do. There's golf simulators, acts, throwing,
duck pin, bowling, terrific food, drinks and much more. It's
located in North Grand Mall. Onceagain, that is Inside Golf. Check
out their regrant opening this weekend.Also another big sale and something to be

(55:08):
aware of. Freedom Tire. They'rehaving a big tire sale this month,
rebates all around and it'll be atFreedom Fire and Auto Center Quentin Crowner,
longtime sponsored located on South Stuff andAmes. If you need tires and oil
change whatever, you know where tostop in in that Freedom Tire and Auto

(55:28):
Center so by point fifty to goAmes down by one, they will have
the ball at the thirty seven yardline after a good gain by Jamison Poe.
But we were able to talk aboutour sponsors there because the men intending
to a very talented and promising youngman and freshman pacing Clayborne the defensive back

(55:52):
end, also listed as a quarterbacksix three one ninety five freshmen. He's
down near the forty yard line.They brought out the cart. Hopefully I'll
be able to get this man thecare he needs. Both teams silent and

(56:14):
on their knees hoping everything's okay.Yeah, just the way they when they
can diagnose it that quick, youjust think it's a bone. You know.
It's unfortunately been on the piel fora few of those where if it's
pointing away, it's not supposed tobe going. You know. You think

(56:35):
Dak Prescott a few years back,you know, and he was running down
the side and was immediately just Iwas watching on TV. I just said
I had to turn away. Ihave so much mount of respect for these
trainers. I'm someone who would turnaway and walk away, and there's somebody
who runs towards it. You knowwhat they do for our our young men

(56:57):
and women, you know, andfor visiting teams. The training staffs are
just unbelievable and like I said,they run towards these situations when sometimes I
have to turn away, but Ihope everything is okay. Maybe we'll go
ahead take that break early to givethem time to get him off the field

(57:22):
and make sure everything's okay. Sowe'll go ahead take that break earlier.
You're listening to Ames High Football infourteen thirty. K Yes, I back
to Thames High stating Justine w alongsideHall of Famer Brus Vernon and crowds on
their feet cheering on the young mannow as he is being wheeled towards the

(57:43):
sideline. It was casting Claiborne forthe SIUs City East Black Raiders. Down
and injured. Yeah, he gavea wave so hopefully it's okay. It's
a lower body, definitely, hishead and neck is in shape. He's
a really fine young player with abright future and we will be hopefully we'll

(58:07):
be seeing him on Morningside Field ayear from now. So if five point
fifty to go in the first half, Ames finds themselves down for the first
time, tonight twenty one to twentyagainst Siux City Easter. There at the
Sioux City thirty seven yard line,first and ten that his camp Wine in
the empty backfield, has two receiversto his right, one to his left.

(58:30):
Ball place on the far side hashmark. And now we got to
get back to football. So here'sthe motion in by Jamison. Coe fakes
it and cam Wines goes up themidd now cuts back left, gets a
nice little gain. So'll bring upsecond and about six here with five twenty

(58:51):
eight to go. Been a whilesince we man no need to throw it
on him get five yards carry,But we are really right for some good
play action. So where we weride this serious of plays that we've been
running and then pull it and hitJeffrey on a post pattern shotgum formation for
can't. Wine takes the snap,hands it off to Jamison. Poe goes

(59:12):
up the middle, but is metquickly by sea of white jerseys and he's
brought down. So bring up thirdand long with five minutes to go.
Four down territory. Anytime we're insidethe forty I think with coach Sawser he's
very aggressive any a lot of teamsmost time they're inside the thirty five.
If we're inside the forty forty five, will we go in for it and

(59:32):
four down? So it's third andfive or third and four, But we
have two chances. Empty backfield.Can't Wine takes the snap. He's going
to go right up the middle.He's going to be close to that first
down marker. But I don't thinkhe got it on third and four.
It may be fourth and one nowwith four and a half minutes to go,
twenty one to twenty Soius City ontop of ames, they have started

(59:52):
to tackle better. They were tacklingvery poorly. We were winning every battle
on yards after contact this series sofar, they have done really well on
wrapping us up on first contact.So empty backfield for can't Wind. Two
receivers to his right, one tohis left, fourth and one, four
oh eight to go. Here's thesap. Can't Wind goes right up the

(01:00:14):
middle. The offensive line breaks out, but he's able to pop out of
the backfield and go towards the leftside, and that's an aims little Cyclones
first down with four toh one togo. They have raised their game defensively.
I think they're playing inspired with theloss of their teammate that they stopped
us at the last scrimmage, andas you mentioned, Cameron was able to

(01:00:34):
bounce off off the left side andget some yards on his own shotgun formation
ball at the twenty four. Here'sthe handoff to Jamison Poe. He goes
up the middle and again, nota lot there for the junior running back
they are. There's not a greatmatchup out here. I mean this young
man out here for Shush at Eastlooks like he's given away about six or

(01:00:57):
seven inches on the on Jeffrey,and he's the entire field to cover this.
I'd throw a dumb ball up here, Jeffrey and give him a chance.
Here's the snap bakes the handoff.Here's the play action, rolling out
towards the right side, finds Lopez, but bounces off of his hands.
It was a little high from campWine. And so I'll bring up third

(01:01:19):
and ten now with three fourteen togo in the first half. Rogers a
strong, strong young man and wearsa little bigger shoulder pads in the you
know, the tight end position.And the defense that he plays is that
when that ball was over his head, he couldn't quite he couldn't quite get
his hands over his head like someonemaybe a more lean receiver wearing the lighter

(01:01:43):
receiver shoulder pads pistol formation for can'tWine. Third and ten ball on the
twenty four yard line of Sue Cityas they're up twenty one to twenty against
James receiver to his left and rightsnap looking to throw his can't Wine throws
it up the middle to Kenny,who makes the catch up to fifteen.
He breaks the tackle. He's outthe ten now right down at the goal

(01:02:04):
line. He was hit hard,but hailed onto that ball. They'll be
first in goal for the little cyclone. Tremendous catch. He was open,
but he was hit immediately. Ohand there are another players down. I
think he's going to be okay myfirst look, he's kind of both Kenny
and number three Dame Milton, thejunior five to eleven defensive back. They

(01:02:30):
hit each other hard there. Bothof them are a little shook it up
getting out. He got hit immediatelywhen he caught it, or almost simultaneously,
and then he regained his footing afterkind of stumbling, and then he
was rallying towards the goal line andthen got hit very hard again, so
it was a kind of a oddlooking play. It was took a tremendous

(01:02:52):
courage if you think about it,if you're thinking at home, he's a
receiver crossing over the middle, andthat's just universal to say, if you've
got courage to catch the ball overthe middle with a safety kind of closing
in on you, that's the toughestball to catch because you know you're gonna
get hit, but you might aswell get hit catching at Coach Von Barron,

(01:03:13):
longtime receiver coach from Ames, usedto say, if you're you're gonna
get hit either way, so mightas well catch it. Lane Kenny,
He's been all over the place sofar this season for Ames. He was
at quarterback in the second game againstAnthony's Centennial. He's played defense very well,
and senior Night this season had aninterception and a touchdown and now showing

(01:03:35):
off his wide receiver skills there tonightafter a good throw by Cameron camp Wine.
So three seven to go, itwill be first and goal ball at
the one yard line. Milton ableto get up on his feet and move
towards the sideline. Always a goodsight to see. Kind of looked like
both Kenny and Milton just hit eachother real hard and kind of took the

(01:03:59):
air out of each other. Hopeeverything's okay with each of them. He's
walking off on his own power.Kind of had to feel that it was
a maybe the wind knocked out ofyou, and those are usually you know,
you get to get over there andhave a seat, get a drink,
and hopefully be back out on thefield. So the teams come back
out, Ames trying to retake thelead. They're down twenty one to twenty

(01:04:21):
with three oh seven to go inthis first half. Ball placed at the
one yard line, first and goalfor the Little Cyclones. Can't wind in
the pistol with Poe behind him,receiver to his left and right, they're
stack in the box. Here's thesnap hand off to Jamison Poe. He's

(01:04:41):
met in the backfield. I don'tthink he got in. He's going to
be short. So it's going tobe second in goal for the Little Cyclones.
So AME's trying to not be onedimensional here because the last time they
were down at the goal line wentthree straight runs and ended up fumbling it.
So now they bring out an extrareceiver, empty backfield for Can't Wine

(01:05:03):
one to his left, two tohis right, Poe and motion. They
fake the pitch to him. Can'tWine goes up the middle. That looks
good and it is good touchdown,Ames Little Cyclones off of the legs of
Cameron Can't Wine and it's twenty sixtwenty one. The Ames Little Cyclones back
on top against Sue City East.You have hard time not giving it to

(01:05:27):
him, you know, it's like, yeah, why not? You know,
why didn't the Seahawks give it toMarshawn Lynz Right, I'm a Seahawks
fan. Why bring that up?Hurts me? Yeah, Marshall, I
mean if you have Cameron now thatis the eighth touchdown and they're going for
two, Can't Wine goes on theleft side and he gets the two point

(01:05:50):
conversion and it's a twenty eight twentyone ball game. Here. We knew
it was going to be back andforth and it has been rain falling or
not, and it will be SueCity East ball now with two point thirty
one to go in this first quarter, aim set to kick this one off,
but yeah, Cameron can't Wind.What was it, eight touchdowns in

(01:06:13):
the last two games, pretty impressive, Yeah, eight touchdowns is not a
bad season. No, No,that he's had that in six quarters so
and he had more before that.So I don't know what his overall total
is. But can I wrap upsomething here that we were talking about?
Yeah, I got my nineteen eightysix. Nineteen eighty six played Susid East

(01:06:33):
and aames first ever playoff victory.We took twelve bus loads of fans to
Sue City, twelve charter buses towin a twenty seven to twenty six game
in a game that Kirk Dados said, if it wasn't the biggest victory in
school history, it was the mostexciting. Another squib kick here goes out

(01:06:54):
to the forty pounced on. Itis the Black Raiders, so they will
have it at their own forty yardline on their side hash mark. We'll
get to see Jepson and this offenseone more time here before we head to
halftime. Two twenty eight left inthe first half, twenty eight to twenty
one aims on top ball be placedat the thirty nine yard line. Shotgun

(01:07:15):
formation for Jepson has two bunch receiverswho is left two bunched on his right
and his number twenty three JJ Goshin the backfield with him. They hand
it out to JJ. He goesup the mail but his met quickly.
That looked like number seventy Blayton Busanoand number fifty five Brett Bergheimer getting to

(01:07:35):
the running back at the line ofscrimmage. So they'll bring up second and
eight with two thirteen to go there, So he's planned by the numbers.
You know, the numbers say runit. Five in the box, run
it, but the clock says probablythrow it. It's going to be under
two minutes. So I don't thinkthey can run the ball down the field
against us in this amount of time. Jepson looking left, he rolls out

(01:07:58):
left, now has to roll backtowards the right flag in the backfield.
Jepson throws it up and out ofbounds as he was bringing drag to the
ground by Roger Lopez. But nowwe'll see what the penalty marker is here
with one forty eight to go,refs meet up at the thirty yard line

(01:08:18):
and now we'll see what the callis. Roger Lopez trying to plead his
case. So it looks like itwill be bad news for little cyclone fans.
Personal file, face mask and aface mask. He called on Roger
Lopez. He didn't even seem likehe was detained that long, you know,

(01:08:39):
like I just saw maybe a littletug of the helmet, maybe that
that would be a five yard facemask. He wasn't. Personal foul is
grab and turn, you know,grab and kind of crank it. But
that's a pivotal call right now.Now we're now they got forty four yards
to go with a minute forty eighto'clock is not a factor. They can
pretty much run their entire offense rightnow. Yeah, ball gets moved up

(01:09:01):
from their own forty one to nowthe Ames forty four looking to throw is
Jepson finds his receiver out in theflat. That's number thirteen, Richard Stewart,
who we haven't called out quite abit so far. And Richard Stewart's
having one heck of a season sofar, seven and twenty nine receiving yards
and six touchdowns. Yeah, he'san all state level receiver. And that
was a speed out, just atwo yard shallow out. Ball put right

(01:09:26):
on the numbers, but the tacklewas was well made. Second and five
ball at the thirty nine three togo, they handed off to gosh.
He goes up towards the right sideof the offensive line, but has met
up quickly. Oh brought down penaltymarker. Though after the play, Weger
was Weger was chirping at the endof that play. Now I gotta get
him, gret it. He wasalso fighting at the end of that play

(01:09:47):
that ball. That ball got blowndead and he was still grinding, and
he got all the way out tothe thirty five yard line, and then
when he got up, he startedtalking and the flag went up. So
here comes the personal fiul that's onnumber twenty three. JJ gosh. So
now Weger will come in for him. So this ball gets backed up.

(01:10:09):
Now that's the fifty yard line.I believe we'll see where they put this.
But one thirteen to go. Thisfirst half was moving by real fast,
but some unfortunate injuries and now alot of penalty markers has slowed it
down to a snail's pace. Withone thirteen to go, aims on top

(01:10:30):
though twenty eight to twenty one ballnow at the Sioux City East forty eight
yard line. That was a deadball penalty, dead ball penalty. So
that's still third down. The thirddown. Here's the road by Jepson goes
up the middle and complete throw itinto coverage. There were four defenders there

(01:10:56):
guarding number four aj Flemlister the sixto two. So now the punt team
looking like they're coming out for SiueCity East with one oh one remaining.
It is fourth and eighteen left beforehalftime. Here twenty eight to twenty one.

(01:11:16):
With Aimes now getting set to receivethis punt, it is can't wine
straw Hacker and Kenny set. Herecomes the kick end over end fair caught
by straw Hacker. No, helets it bounce and that takes a huge
Sioue City East bounce as it dropsfrom the twenty and rolls all the way

(01:11:41):
inside the ten yard line. Sowith forty nine seconds to go, it
will be Little Cyclones ball at theirown seven yard line. Head coach Bruce
Vernon, of course, moving downtowards the field for halftime, as he
is going to get celebrated as heshould, getting introduced, introducted into the

(01:12:03):
halt of fame here at Ames high. So here comes the next play by
Ames up by seven forty nine secondsleft in the first half. Empty backfield
for Ames, but now a timeout by Sue's City East there first of
three Ames little Cyclones have one timeout. So now we'll see what Ames

(01:12:30):
decides to do here. Do theyjust try to run it up the middle,
take the time off of the clockand go into halftime up by seven,
or do you be aggressive and tryto throw this ball deep. Haven't
seen a lot of passing. Thebest pass was on that last drive where
Camtwine found number three Lane Kenny ona nice slant that led to the Can't

(01:12:50):
Wind touchdown and gave Ames the leadback with about three minutes to go.
And then the defense stood strong thereagainst Sue's City East and a few penalties
helped them out and forced a punt. So that's how we find ourselves now,
with Ames with their ball at thisseven yard line of their own territory,

(01:13:12):
backs up against the wall. Littlehere can't wind though no stranger to
this had an eighty six yard runagainst a Tumwa had a ninety five yard
run against Des Moines Roosevelt earlier thisseason. Three receivers who is right,
none to his left, forty nineseconds to go first and ten fifteen seconds

(01:13:33):
on the game clock. Ames takingtheir time though. Now it's Kenny emotion.
Here's the stat can't Wine's going togo up the middle. He's met
at the ten, still pushing forward. Now he's still pushing forward. No
whistle. He's at the fifteen yardline, and this kid is just something
else. Does not give up.He was stopped at the eight yard line

(01:13:58):
and just kept pushing forward and getsit across to the fifteen yard line.
I'll bring up second and two attwenty five seconds to go in the first
half. No rush here by theAmes. Little cyclone shotgun formation. Poe
in the backfield, receiver to hisright had left. Here's a snap looking
to throw his camp wind. Helooks left, fires left, has Jeffrey

(01:14:19):
Roberts in the sideline, but incompleteover his head. Good defense there by
number nine Chris Ford for Sioux CityEast. And now there's nine seconds left
before we hit halftime. It's thirdand two, ball placed at the Ames
fifteen yard line. Twenty eight totwenty one. Little cyclones on top.

(01:14:40):
Rain still falling down here in Ames. Still light, though it was a
little sketchy during the Ames tailgate showwhere it was downpouring and we're wondering how
that was going to affect the players. There's been three total turnovers, a
two fumbles in an intersect to fumblesby Aims and interception by Sioux City East.

(01:15:04):
Another timeout though by Siue City East. You don't get go home with
them, so might as well takethem. They take their second of three
timeouts with nine seconds to go.Aims up by seven, and that gives
us time now to shout out somemore of our ames High Football sponsors.
Let's just go right down the line. Friedrich Iowa Reality, Kurt Friedrich,

(01:15:26):
longtime sponsor. Buy or sell yourhouse with the best, and that's simply
Friedrich Iowa Reality. Now also NorthwestBank Doug Wragler, longtime sponsor as well.
Don't let that road construction stop you. If I'm correct, I think
that road construction has lightened up alittle. But Northwest Bank is always there,
road construction or not, for allyour banking needs. So now here

(01:15:50):
we go, nine seconds left inthe first half, twenty eight to twenty
one. Aims on top of SiouxCity East, ball placed at their fifteen
yard line. Third and two.Here's the snap. High Snap hands it
off to Jamison Poe, who goesup the mill tries to spin out of
the tackle does not succeed, hewill get the first down and that will

(01:16:14):
stop the clock with two seconds remaining, and we'll see if Ames the elects
to be aggressive and tries to fireone down deep or they just run it
up the middle or let this clockrun out, and they will elect to
let the clock run out. Sogoing into halftime, Ames little Cyclones find

(01:16:34):
themselves on top twenty eight to twentyone against Sioux City East, and we
have ourselves a good game here tonight, rain or shine, They're always fun.
This one though a little extra.Two rivals, two teams that match
up so well against each other.Twenty eight to twenty one. Ames finds

(01:16:54):
themselves on top as we head intohalftime. Justin Miller alongside now Hall of
Fame head coach Bruce Vernon. We'llgo ahead, take a break, come
back with kind of a first halfrecap, and all you need to know
is we head into the final halfof the night. Justin Miller alongside Bruce
Vernon. You're listening to Ames HighFootball on fourteen thirty Kasi, Welcome back

(01:17:21):
to AMS II Stadium. Justin Millersolo for the halftime show. Don't worry,
Hall of Fame coach Bruce Vernon willbe back. He's getting celebrated on
the field as he was newly introductedinto the Ames Hall of Fame tonight.
Congratulations to him, his family,wonderful career. It's been awesome learning from

(01:17:44):
coach. He brings so much knowledgeand experience into the broadcast, makes me
sound a lot smarter than I actuallyam. But before we get into our
halftime report with Ames being on toptwenty eight to twenty one against Sue City
East, go ahead give some moreshout outs to our twenty twenty three Ames
High Football sponsors will go ahead andbring up Brick City Grill. And it's

(01:18:04):
important to bring up Brick City Grillbecause the big Cyclones Iowa State is on
the road this weekend against Cincinnati,so that means you need to find a
good place to check out a game. And there's no better place that has
more, better food, better drinksthan really Jason Michelson's Brick City Grill.

(01:18:24):
They're a new sponsor, so wealways welcome them and thank them for helping
out Ames High Football. It's agreat place to check out any game.
Make sure to go check out BrickCity Grill. So, like we said,
the Ames Little Cyclones on top twentyeight to twenty one against Seue City
East. Here at halftime, it'sa back and forth battle and we expected

(01:18:45):
that because going into this game thetwo teams are so well matched. Ames
coming in at three and four,winning two straight against Atamua and Marshalltown Sieue
City East after losing to Southeast Polkhave won two stray as well, against
Council Bluffs Lincoln forty eight to twentyseven. They won that at home and
on the road beat Des Moines Lincolnforty five to eighteen. And these two

(01:19:09):
teams have only played twice since twentyten. They've split those matchups one to
one, with the road team winningboth times. This time, though,
luckily your Ames Little Cyclones find themselveson top, holding the road team to
twenty one points, Ames twenty eightpoints and kind of some notes I wrote
down during that break that I wantedto bring up during halftime are kind of

(01:19:31):
the three main things Ames has donereally well. And the clearest thing with
the rain, with just the wayAmes offense runs this season is the run
game has been so solid. JamisonPoe with two touchdowns Cameron can't wine with
two touchdowns as well, and it'sjust been no answer for Sue City East.

(01:19:56):
Sue City East, though lost abig player late in that first half
case and Claiborne, who has beenhelping out keep the running game of the
Ames little Cyclones at Bay the bestthey could with his team leading twenty seven
solo tackles thirty seven and a halftotal tackles on the season. He left
with an apparent lake injury had tobeing carted off the field. Hope everything's

(01:20:20):
all right with him. But froma strategic standpoint, Aimes with the momentum
in the run game, but defensivelyAimes while they've struggled to contain the Sioux
City East run attack with Miles Wegerand also number twenty three Jj Gosh allowing

(01:20:42):
twenty one points there the passing gamefor Siue City East that is usually unbelievable.
With such a young talent at quarterbackingCal Jepson who's a sophomore quarterback,
he hasn't been able to find hismain receiver, Richard Stewart, I believe,
only has one reception and it isjust a short, little you know,

(01:21:04):
flat pass for five yards late inthat first half. Other than that,
he struggled to find anyone open downfield. There was one lucky play,
and I say it's lucky, andthat's not me being an Ames homer.
That's just me trying to point outthat Toriyan Cotton for the Ames Little Cyclones,

(01:21:25):
was guarding number nine chris Ford tohis best ability. He could not
I have guarded that ball any betterwithout getting a penalty. And that ball
he blocked it. It bounced fivefeet up in the air in great hand
eye coordination by chris Ford to comedown with it and run it in from
the thirty yard line, and thatgave Kale Jepson his first touchdown pass of

(01:21:47):
the night. But Jepson, whois usually on target sixty percent season completion
percentage so far this season and onlysix interceptions going into this game, through
a big interception late in that secondor late in that first half, giving
Aimes the opportunity to come down thefield and score after Ames had turned it

(01:22:12):
over. And the final and thirdthing I had written down for Ames here
was you need to clean up thepenalties. That second quarter was extra long,
and yes there were some injuries,but for the most part, there's
a lot of penalties in that firsthalf for both teams really, but a
lot on Ames that we hadn't seenin the past three weeks. And it's

(01:22:34):
been part as to why the LittleCyclones have found success. It was little,
you know, unintentional penalties where itwas false starts, it was holdings,
was pass interferences where you kind ofshake your head and go, guys,
we've cleaned that up three weeks ago. What's going on here? No

(01:22:56):
coach Brian Sauser, though, willget his team ready to go. We'll
go ahead, take a break.Here, Aims on top twenty eight to
twenty one against Sue City East,Ames trying to keep their postseason hopes alive
here at home. We'll go ahead, take a break. You're listening to
Ames High Football on fourteen thirty.Hey, as I welcome back to a

City East fan, everyone's kind ofpaying attention to this. Dowlling Southeast Polk
game number one Dowling versus number twoSoutheast Polk grams up though ten to seven
halfway through the third quarter, Maroonsapparently missed a long field goal that could

(01:24:48):
have tied that one up. Ifwe look at number five Lewis Central,
they're cruising over number eight nor Walktwenty seven to nothing. Lewis Central on
top. Will also scroll down andkeep looking here. Kenny down early against

(01:25:10):
number ten, Cedar falls, Cedarfalls on top seven nothing there at the
break, Johnson is up over Urbandale. They're up fourteen to two. And
as we're just going here, therethere's the Ames Little Cyclones update. Ames

(01:25:30):
of course up twenty eight to twentyone. Trying to see where the next
opponent for Ames is walk Wakee Northwestand that's gonna be a tough one,
so trying to pay attention to whatthey are doing tonight. They have a
lead over Centennial there went up earlyin that one seven nothing. Hasn't been

(01:25:56):
an update since the seven oh eightmark, so we'll keep an eye on
that. But the Ames Little Cyclonescan't look ahead towards Wakee Northwest just yet
because they have a tough one tonight. Ames on top twenty eight to twenty
one against Sue City East. It'sbeen a close one. We expected a
close one and we saw the rainfalling down and right away we said that's

(01:26:16):
gonna benefit the Little Cyclones and ithas. The run game between Poe and
Can't Wind has just been unstoppable.Three touchdowns, I'm sorry, two touchdowns
for Cameron can't Wind, two touchdownsfor Jamison. Poe gives Ames their twenty
eight points. Lane Kenny also getinvolved in the passing game, led to

(01:26:39):
the last score for the Ames LittleCyclones Sue City East. They have two
rushing touchdowns off of the legs ofMiles Wegger and then one receiving touchdown a
big one and a lucky one byChris Ford. So that's how we got
to twenty eight to twenty one.We'll go ahead, take a break and
come back with more halftime report.Here as you're listening to Ames High Football,

(01:27:01):
I'm fourteen thirty kas I welcome backEames Little Psychon fans, Justin Miller
alongside now Hall of Fame head coachBruce Vernon. Bruce Vernon getting ready to
take the field here and get celebratedas he's inducted into the Ames High Hall

He'll be back up, don't youworry. But we have a great one
so far. So Aames is ontop twenty eight to twenty one here at
halftime against Sue City East, andit's been a back and forth battle and

(01:28:08):
through the rain. It has benefitedthe Ames Little Cyclones with their running attack
offense between Jamison Poe and Cameron can'twind now kind of look him forward even
though we just said we don't wantto really do that, don't want to
look too forward because we know SueCity East is a good team. Walkee
Northwest is the only team standing inthe Ames Little Cyclones way. If they

(01:28:32):
come out tonight with their third straightvictory, it would improve aims to four
and four and give them a chancefor a your win and you're in moment
next Friday at home against a verytalented Wakee Northwest team the loss, su
City East would drop to four andfour and they would snap a two game

(01:28:55):
losing streak, and or would snapa two game winning streak for Sue City
East. So on the line tonight, we're about three minutes away from kicking
off the second half. We'll goahead, take our final halftime break,
get Bruce inducted into the Ames Hallof Fame, celebrate him, cheer him

be a Cameron camp Wine who we'reconstantly calling out their name, who has
eight touchdowns now in the last twogames. But he goes out and he
finds the you know, the playerswho put in the work who may not
always get the spotlight. Always aspecial special portion of our halftime show.

(01:30:42):
We won't forget that he's on thefield still. Players have taken the field
warming up here as we get readyto kick off this second half. But
he will get to your unsung heroesat some point in tonight's game. So
you just have to make sure tokeep listening We have a good one though
tonight in Ames twenty eight to twentyone there on top of Sioux City East.

(01:31:03):
Uh, Justin Miller on the calltonight will go ahead, give us
some shout outs and finish up ouranti football sponsors. Some of the people
we haven't got to so far isNelson Electric. This is one of my
favorite ones to use because I canbe cliche as heck and say our Nelson
Electric play of the day so farhas been Jamison Poe in that first half

(01:31:27):
going sixty yards from the Ames fortyyard line up the middle all the way
down to score the touchdown, hissecond of the night, fourth rushing touchdown
for the team, and that helpedAmes take the twenty eight to twenty one
halftime lead. That's our Nelson ElectricElectric play of the game. Nelson Electric,
of course is your home or businesselectrical work. That's where you go

(01:31:51):
to. Nelson Electric is the placeto go, headed by Chris Nelson,
their new sponsors, so we alwaysthank them. And also, you know
it's getting to that time of theyear where you need to check your tires
a little more often with a gainin a little colder, you need to
check your heating system. You needto check everything in your car. So
if your vehicle needs some work,you need to get in contact with Chad

(01:32:15):
Boardwick and that is Shaffer's Autobody.That's where he heads. If your vehicle
needs some work, there's no betterplace to take it than Shaffer's Autobody located
on East Lincoln Way, and thegood folks at Shaffer's Autobody will always get
you set and ready to go.So about a minute forty left here and
halftime before the teams take the field, give you a quick little rundown of

(01:32:42):
what I kind of expect here inthe second half of what I want to
happen here for the Ameslo Cyclones tosecure their third straight victory and to get
them to four and four with awin, and you're in chance into the
playoffs starting next week Adainswaukee Northwest wherethey will be back home. So biggest
thing is clean up the unnecessary penalties, and when I mean not necessary,

(01:33:08):
that is the fall starts the unforcedpenalties is a better way to put it.
The fall starts the holdings. Iknow that's a point of emphasis for
Brian's Sauser. Something we talked about. If you listen to the pregame show
today with the five minute Coaches Interview, I talked to Brian about how I've

(01:33:29):
been really impressed during this winning stretchfor the Ames Little Cyclones, how they've
been able to clean up those unforcedairs at the offensive line. They've become
physical and stronger as a young coregroup up there as a big five,
and that's helped Cameron can't Wine findsuccess. That's helped Jamison Poe find success,

(01:33:49):
Lane Kenny so on. But tonight, early on, this offensive line
just struggled to you know, keepthe nerves down, to stay down,
and few holdings, few false startsthat set up Ames keep in their own
territory. It didn't it necessarily mattersince Ames is up by seven, but

(01:34:09):
still something you want to clean up. Also, the who fumbles by Ames's
offense another big point of concern.But the teams have taken the field aims
with their black helmets, black jerseys, white pants. Set to kick it
off here and start the second halfto sue City East who's wearing their black
helmets, white jerseys, black numbersand white pants, and they'll be another

(01:34:34):
squib kick for the Ames Little Cyclones. Bruce Vernon making his way up to
the press box. This one goesout to the thirty yard line. Going
up the middle is su City East. Now breaking out towards the left side,
he's across the forty now forty fivepoint fifty brought down. That is
number eleven Rob Emerson and now'll setup Cal Jepson, who has shown flashes

(01:34:59):
of just the little bits he cando. He's over two thousand yards passing
this season, eighteen touchdowns, seveninterceptions. Such a young sophomore quarterback playing
well above his age here this season. He'll get the ball at his own
forty nine yard line twenty eight totwenty one aims on top of Suscity.

(01:35:20):
He's start of the third quarterback onformation for Jepson as a man in motion,
here's a step. He looks right, grows right, finds Richard Stuart,
his main target so far this season, with only his second catch.
But that's a good for a fiveyard gain on the left side or right
side. So be second and medium. With eleven and a half minutes to

(01:35:45):
go. Ball placed at the fortysix shotgun formation, here's the handoff to
Weger. He goes up the middlemet quickly, maybe a gain of two
yards there, but in on thestop. We've called his name out quite
a bit. Casey Willet, numberseventy seven, the big two thirty pounds
sophomore with the stop. So it'sthird and short, eleven to fifteen to
go up by seven. Is Aamesshotgun formation looking to throw fires left and

(01:36:10):
that's at the feet of Stuart andthat's incomplete. So be fourth and three
with eleven zho five to go upby seven is Aimes looks like Jepson and
this offense will stay on the field. Ball on the near side, hash
mark two receivers to Jepson's left,two to his right, Wiger in the
backfield with him. Here comes abig fourth down play here for the Ames

(01:36:32):
Little Cyclones. Jepson, doing ahard count fifteen seconds on the play clock,
takes a look over at his coach. Just make sure no unforced airs
here through the Ames Little Cyclone defense. Eleven five to go. Here's the
stat looks left, fires left,has its tight end open. That's a

(01:36:54):
first down and some more. Hecuts across towards the mill brought down at
the thirty yard line, and thereceiver there was number eighty eight, Austin
McIntyre or I apologize, Ohen reednumber eighty three with the reception, So
eleven minutes to go. That's afirst down for Sioux City East. It's

(01:37:14):
at the Ames thirty yard line.They handed off the Wegger, who goes
up the middle, breaks out twotackles, he's across the ten, cuts
back left, ten five touchdown,Sue City East, and just like that
they go five plays and a touchdownwith ten fifty three to go, and
they are pat away from tying thisthing up. Not the second half start

(01:37:40):
you wanted if you are the AmesLittle Cyclones defense letting Weger run towards his
third touchdown of the night. Hehad zero touchdowns. Last week in their
win against Des Moines Lincoln, hehad eighty three yards, averaging eight point
three yards of carry, no touchdowns. Tonight, similar numbers except three touchdowns.

(01:38:01):
That kick is up, it looksgood, it is good. Ten
fifty three to go in the thirdquarter, all knotted up at twenty eight
with rain falling down. About astraumatic as you could get in a must
win game for the Ames Little Cyclones, must win game for both squads.
So now we'll get our look atthe Ames Little Cyclones offense to start the

(01:38:26):
second half twenty eight to twenty eightas Susity East is set to kick this
one off usually in the backfield iscan't whine Hoe and Roberts, but looks
like it will be the special teamsunit setting up for those short pooch kicks

(01:38:50):
that Susidy East has been doing allnight long and has found some success in
them. And we walk them backto the booth all of famer. Bruce
Vernon, congratulations once more, thankyou appreciate that. And what did I
miss? Uh? So Sue CityEast goes five plays and Weger runs up

(01:39:12):
the left side and scored a touchdownon the defense. So where did that
drive start? At the forty nineyard line of Sue City East. So
here comes that pooch kick over tolane Kenny, who bobbles it, but
it bounces right back to him luckily, and he gets a gain of about
five or six yards there and abreath of her, sigh of relief for

(01:39:34):
the Ames little Cyclones of that onebounced off the hands of Lane Kenny,
but he is able to make ita positive gain and set up now Ames
at their own forty seven yard orforty three yard line. You know,
one thing that return people in thatsituation don't know that you can fair catch

(01:39:55):
that, you know, so thatballs popped up and you're kind of putting
this to the U. You know, quick catching a hard hit, you
can just fair catch it and takethe ball. In that case, it
would have been on about the thirtyeight yard line and wine empty backfield ball
at the near side forty three yardline hash mark two receivers to his left.
Here's a step looking to throw onthe first play finds Jamison Poe out
in the fly, who breaks outof a tackle across the fifty across the

(01:40:18):
forty five to forty brought out ofbounds near the thirty five yard line.
So that's a first play and anAmes little Cyclones first down. Yeah,
they got him just a little quickthrow to the sideline and he you know,
for a relatively small guy and nowhe's strong. He always breaks tackles,
you know, he breaks that firsttackle and that's what he did there,

(01:40:40):
and he got him about ten extraright after that first contact, empty
backfield for can't wind ten forty fourto go, Tied up at twenty eight
against Sioue City East two receivers tohis left, ball placed at the forty
of Sioux City East. They havechanged their defense entirely. Can't wind takes
the step, goes up the middle, now cuts back towards the right,
cuts back towards the middle. He'sacross the thirty five. Now across the

(01:41:04):
thirty. Now'll be another first downfor the Ames, little cyclone. So
two plays on this drive, twofirst downs. Good start for the offense.
Yeah, and this looks like nineteenseventy five out here as far as
there they went with five. Theygot five linemen with their hands down so
straight across with people used to playmaybe in their goal line. Three linebackers,

(01:41:25):
and they're just saying that we arenot throwing the football, and they're
going to try to stop the runto five straight linemen right across, all
in four point stance, so uniqueten twenty to go tie out twenty eight
Aames with the ball at the SiouxCity East twenty nine yard line. Two
receivers to camp lines left, noneto is right. Here's a step and

(01:41:45):
another penalty marker. And something Ibrought up during halftime coach was need clean
up the unforced airs and another bigone there for the Ames little Cyclones,
and that was a delay of gamesgain. So I'll be first in fifteen.
Now what ten o nine to go? I think they're understelling our passing

(01:42:08):
game. They are playing us rightnow like we can't pass the football and
Cameron's is capable. So there's aguy out there and right now there's no
safety help over the middle of thefield against Jeffrey Roberts, empty backfield,
first and fifteen, can't wind takesthe snap. He's going to go right
up the middle. They can stackthat line, but he still is able

(01:42:30):
to get so many yards on theground. He crosses the thirty, gets
brought down near the twenty seven yardline, so with under ten minutes to
go, knot it up at twentyeight. It'll bring up second and nine.
Yeah, it's tough. If I'mcalling plays, I have it.
I have difficult time not just continuingrunning the football. It's a snap,

(01:42:54):
quick throw out to Jeffrey Roberts onthe screen. He gets across the twenty
five, brought down near the twentyfour, so they'll bring up third and
manageable here. Sorry, coach,No, just a classic time to take
a shot. Maybe is if wedo get like a you know, second
and three or something like that.Take the shot, but you know you
could also just continue running the footballat five to eight herds of pop and

(01:43:16):
maybe there's no reason not to emptybackfield for tantline ball on the near side
hash mark. At the twenty fourthey fake the hand off to po antline,
goes up the middle near that rightside of the offensive line, cuts
across the twenty yard line, pushesforward. That's going to be a first
down, and a little more so, like you said, coach, pounding,

(01:43:38):
pounding on the ground another six yardskind of ride that fly sweep action
or jet sweep action and then justrun right off the right tackle, break
a few tackles, and here wego again. First and ten strong drive
here to start the third quarter forthe Angelo Cyclones. Under nine minutes to
go, tied up at twenty eight. Here's the handoff to Jamison. Poe

(01:44:00):
tries to sleep across the left side, but he's met up quickly there on
the stop number twenty nine. KobeFlemister, he was coming from the far
side to the near side to ourpress box side right here, and he
was I thought he could have gaveit a little bit of extra burst to
get outside, but you're allowed onecut on that one run, and he

(01:44:20):
took and when you find your footyou go vertical, and that's what he
did right there and tackle for aloss. Second and thirteen looking to so
I was can't wind, He's lookingfor Jeffrey Roberts. And miscommunication there as
it's picked off going across the tenfifteen brought out of bounds Roger Lopez in

(01:44:41):
on the stop, but in onthe interception was number nine Chris Ford.
You know, Jeffrey Roberts thought thatball was going towards the left corner of
the end zone. Can't wind thoughthe was going more towards the middle of
the end zone. Just miscommunication therein a big turnover with eight ten to
go as we'red tied up at twentyeight. Yeah, it's it's either what

(01:45:02):
you described or the ball kind ofor the ball was maybe slipped out of
his hand a little bit because oneof the two, and one of those
two happened because he was open.It was either a misread or a wet
ball. So now Jepson gets theball in the hands of Susidy East,
Pump fakes right fires and across righta bullet, but able to haul it

(01:45:26):
in and good for a first down. Was at number eighty one, the
big tight end Michael Williams, slowlybecoming Jepson's favorite target tonight. And I'll
bring up first and ten ball atthe Susity East thirty three yard line with
eight ohs five to go, Tiedup at twenty eight. This is a
very very impressive sophomore quarterback. Thatwas a bullet. He's gonna throw it

(01:45:49):
again, this time towards Michael Williamson the right side, but it's over
the head. Good defense by numberseventeen Matt Hall, the saw More six
two one ninety five defensive linemen.We're playing very tight coverage. We're playing
that. I still yeah, Istill think we're in a two man look

(01:46:10):
where we're covering all receivers with adefender and then we have two safeties over
the top and only five shotgun formationball at the thirty three yard line,
seven fifty three to go. Playaction fires that are crossing the balls out.
That looks like it's going to beincomplete. The intended receiver number eighty
eight, John Yates, the widereceiver, but again a great throw by

(01:46:33):
the sophomore quarterback is right on themoney. That ball just falls incomplete out
of the hands of the wide receiverand a really nice catching. I'm looking
there this near receivers not wearing gloves, which is really strange in today's dan
age because the gloves are down nearcheating because they are so they are so
sticky. To see somebody in barehands out here is seven forty eight to

(01:46:58):
go, third and ten looking tothrow Jepson he has pressure to He's gonna
be brought down for the first secof the night, Ames Little Cyclones get
pressure and that looks like number eightyfive for the Ames Little Cyclones. Number
it's Elijah tuttle In on the stop. Great stop there for the Ames Little

(01:47:19):
Cyclones bring up fourth and twelve,enforcing Seuss City East to punt with seven
forty eight to go ball on thethirty one yard line. The uh,
the rain is really coming down rightnow. I questioned you earlier. You
know, I was like, Iwas there a raining and I'm going to
tell you right now it's raining,and I'm going to tell you also another

(01:47:39):
one. It's going to be afactor because now you know you got we're
halfway through the halfway through the thirdquarter with the tie game, and it's
uh, it's pouring. So nowwhat it's going to be is turnovers.
If you whoever holds onto the ball, whoever has at least turnovers from this

(01:48:00):
point forward, will be the willbe the victor. End over end punt.
Straw Hacker fair catching him. Butlet's the ball bounce again. And
that takes another Sioue City East bounceas it rolls from the thirty yard line
all the way back to the seventeenyard line. So now fifty fifty five

(01:48:20):
fifty eight yard field position. Thatswung the field right there, and they
continue to be effective in their kickinggame. I think Cameron, I think
it was camera straw hacker. Didhe You know, he didn't feel comfortable
catching. He's looking up into thispouring rain. But I think he thought

(01:48:41):
it might have hit his foot,or he might have known it hit his
foot because then he went chasing afterit. But it was working its way
out of bounce anyway. But allright, so here we go. We
get a hold out of the football. It's this ball. There's no way
we can keep it dry. Sevenand a half minutes to go all tied
up at twenty eight games in SiouxCity East. They handed off to James
Poe, who breaks out the firstset of tacklers, still pushing forward across

(01:49:03):
the twenty now brought down near thetwenty five yard line on the near or
far side hashmark. It'll push theball from the eighteen yard line all the
way to the twenty five. Withseven to nine to go, second and
short pistol formation for Campwyne has areceiver to is right and left. They're

(01:49:24):
staying in this run run base defense. They're going to hand it off to
Jamison. Poe tries to find theedge and gets the edge, but is
met up quickly by three defenders.He's able to navigate through him. Still
only a gain of maybe one ortwo. What he got he got the
first down from this angle, itlooked like he was just short. But
nope, you're correct, coach.That's an Ames little cyclones first down and

(01:49:46):
jameson Poe that patience and his abilityto navigate the defensive line helping him there.
Yeah, these five down defensive linemen, they're not in a good position
to maintain the edge. I thinkwe can get to the edge of this
defense right now, So I meansweeps, jet sweeps, maybe quick screens.

(01:50:08):
There are eight bodies basically from tackleto tackle, empty backfield for Can't
Wine under six twenty to go,Can't Wine takes it himself, goes up
the right side of the offensive line, maybe gets a yard there. So
bring up second and long, tiedat twenty eight, twenty eight against Sioux
City East, aims with the ball. This is their answer. They came

(01:50:30):
out of the half saying we're goingto try to eliminate canton Wine in the
run game, and because he's theone that's been running between the tackles.
So, like I said, there'sabout eight right now, there are seven
defenders within four yards of the ballbetween the tackles. Under six minutes to
go, empty backfil Can't Wind looksright, fires right, has Jeffrey Roberts

(01:50:51):
one on one and just out ofhis reach again Jeffrey Roberts beating his man
and Can't Wind making a good throwjust a little too far though, so
he'll bring up third and long withfive forty one to go. Excellent coverage,
excellent route and really not a badball. You know, if you're
gonna miss, you want to miss, but you didn't necessarily, I wasn't

(01:51:15):
necessarily gonna be a fifty to fiftyball, So he just, uh,
he kind of overthrew it with intentionand giving playing another down instead of throwing
it up too high and letting themplay for it. Ball at the Ames
thirty yard line, third and nine. Two receivers to cant Wines right,
one to his left, Pope inthe backfield along with him. Here's the
stat fakes a hand off, thepope rolls out right, fires it down

(01:51:35):
the middle, has a man open. That's the first down, and some
more. It's straw hacker cutting backright now, cuts back towards the middle
of the field. He's across theforty, he's across the thirty. Now
he's brought down at the thirty fiveyard line. Yeah, I'm sorry.
He was running all over the middleof the field fighting for yardage as about

(01:51:57):
eight guys came from his backside wherethey're going to do the old classic strip
from behind, and he did agreat job of holding onto the ball right
there because he did face a toughtackle from the back. Five twenty two
to go. Tie that twenty eightball now at the SIUs City East thirty
six yard line. Here's the handoff to Poe. He goes up the
middle, tries to spin back towardsthe thirty yard line, but he's going

(01:52:20):
to be held short, but stilla good gain from the junior running back.
He'll bring up second and five.This is a battle of wills right
now because we're running. We've runreally well. No pun intended up the
middle all night long, and theyare loading their defense up the middle and
we are continuing to run up themiddle. Here's the snap pistol formation.

(01:52:44):
They're going to give it to JamisonPoe again. He tries to get outside
on the left edge, breaks outtwo tackles. He's across the thirty thirty
twenty five now brought down across thetwenty yard line, and that's another Ames
Little Cyclone first down yards after thetackle Jamison is he's playing really well with
the yards after first contact. He'sprobably was probably another dozen yards after he

(01:53:08):
had was in the grasp. Sonow with forty one to go, the
Ames Little Cyclones on all tied uptwenty eight against Sioux City East. Another
Sioux City East player though down atthe thirty five yard line, kind of
holding his knee, his left knee. Hope everything's okay, and coach,

(01:53:29):
I think, well, they givehim a look. It's a good time
to give you that time to checkout her unsung heroes. All right,
Well, I was down out ofthe booth during halftime. I'd like to
acknowledge this week's on sung heroes.Our Academic Player of the Week this week
is Noah Gar. Noah's the sonof Mira Ravetti and Laane Gar. Noah's
off to a great start to schoolyear. We're at the six week point

(01:53:54):
and he's off to an excellent star. I talked to Noah's ap couch teacher,
mister Anderson. Mister Cole Anderson driveNoah as very polite, respectful,
and hard working in the classroom.Our Scout Team Player of the Week is
Kayden Wilbury, right, five,nine hundred and twenty pound freshman, son
of Gabriel. Will it be rightand I will pick that up? After
this play empty backfield for Can't Wineball placed at the nineteen yard line of

(01:54:17):
Sious City East twenty eight to twentyeight. Can't Wine takes the snap himself,
goes up the middle, is broughtdown quickly and hard. That time
by number twenty six Danielle Deeruro thefive to nine senior, and he'll bring
up second and eight with four pointfifteen to go, tied up at twenty
eight. I will finish up ourownsung heroes at our next change of possession.

(01:54:39):
So second nine. We've had goodluck on this. We've been not
in those third and longs too muchever since that first drive. Poe gets
motioned him by can't wine one receiverto is right and left, ball placed
on the near side hashmark. They'regoing to hand it off to Jamison.
He tries to go up the middle, met quickly by ham full of white

(01:55:00):
jerseys, and that ball goes nowhere. So we'll be third and long with
three forty four to go, alltied up at twenty eight. Just as
I say that we gain nothing andwe're in third and nine, I haven't.
We haven't seen this in a while. We've had really good first down
runs which puts to put us,you know, in good second and five
on schedule. But right now weare off schedule. But we're in two

(01:55:24):
down territories. So let's see ifwe can get five or more. Give
it two shots to get ten emptybackfield for Can't Wine. Now he motion
Zimpo towards the left. Here's thesnap, high snap, nearly mishandled throws
it towards Roger Lopez, hits himin the chest and it's incomplete. And
that one just a broken play fromthe start. So with three eleven to

(01:55:45):
go, it's fourth and eight ballplaced at the Sioux City East eighteen yard
line, and it looks like Ameswill stay out there and try to pick
up this first down and try totake the lead back against Sioux City East.
I can't see who's man the ballsdown there, but I just what
I just saw was a slippery ball. So it was snapped and went up,
got dropped. Then they picked thatstained ball through it right back in

(01:56:08):
and put it down on the halfmark again, looking to throw his Can't
Wine fires it towards the left cornof the end zone. Fifty to fifty
ball and complete. Jeffrey Roberts andnumber nine Chris Ford fighting for it.
It falls incomplete though, and he'llbe a turnover on downs for the Ames.
Little cyclone Susid East to take overat their own eighteen yard line.

(01:56:30):
Tied up at twenty eight with threezho eight to go in the third all
right, getting back to our unsungheroes. Our Scout Team player of the
week was Caden Willoughby Right, fivenine, one hundred and twenty pound freshman
wide receiver and d back, sonof Gabriel willough Be right and Brandon Wright,
tough athletic kid who played the roleof Susidi's best player number thirteen in
practice all week long. First andten ball at the eighteen yard line,

(01:56:54):
kal Jepson takes the snap, handsit off to Weger, who goes up
the middle, brought down right atthe twenty yard line to a gain of
about two. As we hit theunder three minute mark, still tied up
at twenty eight. Sue City scoredon their first drive here in the second
half, and since then both teamsreally sallied out as the ring continues to

(01:57:14):
pour harder and harder. This rana classic counter right there, going gt
counter where you pull the guard downthe tackle. They're going to hand it
off to Weger again. He's metup once again real quickly by that good
defensive line of the Ames. Littlecyclone in on the stop number seventy Berusano
and number seventy seven Casey Willett,and they'll set up now third and long

(01:57:34):
with under two twenty five to go, ball placed at the twenty yard line
for Sue City East. Jepson hasWeger in the backfield with them three receivers
to his left, one to hisright. One to his right is Michael
Williams, who has become his favoritetarget tonight looking up the middle. Now

(01:57:55):
it's a screen pass Viger, greatplay calls. He goes up on the
left side, gets across twenty fivethirty. That's good enough for a first
down and some extra You are right, that was a great play for the
right time. Nobody was able todiagnose that where you know, it just
takes one person whose responsibility is UHto identify that back and when nobody was

(01:58:17):
and if he had a lot ofgreen fake grass to run, that's a
first down. Ball now on thethirty three yard line the far side,
hash mark one fifty to go.Tie that twenty low snap. They handed
off the wager again. He goeson the left side, breaks out one
tackle and gets a nice medium sizegame there up the middle. So Weger
having a really good second half hereearly on for Sioux City East. A

(01:58:42):
lot of people pawing at that ball. I still I'm still going to hold
to my claim, but this gameis going to come down to a key
turnover or still just still very evenlymatched, and there's always people just reaching
and trying to rip that ball.I got to credit the running backs.
They're doing a really nice job.One fifteen to go, quick snap,
quick throw. A wow Stewart whoalmost had it in his hands, But

(01:59:05):
a great defensive breakup there by numbersix Roman Johnson guarding the best wide receiver
I think Ames has played all seasonlong, and he breaks that pass up.
That would have been good for abouta game of four, but is
third and five with one twelve togo. Our coverage on him has been
outstanding. I mean and I getthat could throw was perfect shotgun formation for

(01:59:30):
Jepson. One twelve to go,third and five steps back looking to throw,
has prior has to roll out towardsthe right, and he fumbled it
the crow that should be Ames football. We'll see if they call him down,
if it was a sack or it'sa fumble, call him down,
and they call him down, andthat might be the first time coach we've

(01:59:50):
seen Jepson make a kind of youthfulmistake. Yeah, backed up ten to
fifteen yards. He did well.It was a screen, and you know
he wants to set his feet atnormal depth and then release a little bit
deeper to throw the screen, butthe screen wasn't open. And the only

(02:00:10):
thing you can do with the quarterbackright there is throw the ball at the
feet of the designated running back whowas supposed to catch the screen, because
you cannot throw the ball downfield toget rid of it because there are linemen
downfields. So you're right, itwas a youthful mistake in a way,
but he also didn't get rid ofit because he knew he had lineman downfield.
So tough situation, well played bythe cycle. So with seventeen seconds

(02:00:32):
to go, it'll be fourth down, forced to punt is Sioux City East
and cold and bray the six footone ninety six junior with his second sack
of the night on number two klJepson. And it's going to be a
field position game and Ames looking likethey should get some pretty good field position

(02:00:55):
to start or to end. Thisthird quarter back to receive a straw hacker
Kenny and can't wine and over andkick really good kick. Having to back
up is Kenny and he picks itup at the forty one yard line of
the Ames little cyclone. So nowwe'll get to see what can't wine and
this offense can do. With elevenseconds to go in the third quarter,

(02:01:15):
all knotted up at twenty eight againstthe Black Raiders. I got to give
him credit. I caught that catch. I've been harper on it. When
the ball hits the ground. Thatcatch right there was worth fifteen yards to
that ball with a roll for along ways with this slickfield. So that
was a good secure catch, gooduse of a fair catch. I think
we got time real quick to talkabout our final our breakout player of the

(02:01:39):
week Conrad Sutton. Conrad Sotton's sixfoot hundred and eighty pounds junior tight end
linebacker. He's the son of CaseyBergerson Cruz, Spencer Cruz and Carlos Sutton
played. He played mugged up linebackerthis week, means he's on the line
of scrimmage trying to match these receiversin the open field and really make it

(02:02:00):
hard for them to get a releasedoff the field. He's quick, tough,
strong kid. According to coach Sauser, who was a chance to be
really tough on them in the backfield, and all of their ten personnel.
Ten personnel meaning four wide receivers,one running back, the one is for
the running back, and the zeromeans no tight end. So that's a

(02:02:20):
ten personnel, which is primarily whatthey're in. So it looks like the
refs are deciding on where to putthis football. Looks like they'll put it
at the penalty looks like a penaltyon Ames. Oh they didn't go out
towards the middle of the field though, and ever andnounce it a fifteen yard

(02:02:42):
penalty. But I did see numberseventy seven for Ames Casey Willett. He
ran over to coach and it lookedlike he was talking about how he was
just blocking. But he did makethe motion like he took a player to
the ground. So maybe they calledholding on the kicking or returning team.
We'll push him back. Instead ofhaving the ball at their forty one yard
line with eleven seconds to go,they'll have it at the third or twenty

(02:03:09):
six yard line with eleven seconds togo. Twenty eight to twenty eight can't
wine in the Sames offense takes thefield. That previous humble you know that
didn't get called was going to bethe one. You know, it was
going to make my prediction come truebecause that would have been our ball in
the twenty five yard line going in. But they did not give it.

(02:03:30):
They ruled him down. And lookwhat had happened. It made a difference
of like sixty yards of position,empty backfield for can't Wine. Two receivers
to his left, none to hisright, first and ten ball at the
twenty five yard line far hashmark.Here comes the screen to Poe on the
left side. He goes up themiddle across the thirty now at the thirty
five where he's brought down near thethirty six yard line. But a good

(02:03:55):
first play and a good drive thereby Jamison Poe bringing up second and short
with three seconds remaining, and they'regoing to give him the first down.
Actually, so that will take usto the fourth quarter where we're all tied
up at twenty eight a piece againstAmes and Sue City East. Here live
at Ames Stadium, justin Miller nextto Hall of Famer Bruce Vernon, and

(02:04:16):
we'll go ahead, take a breakand come back with the final twelve minutes
of this exciting Ames Little Cyclones matchupbetween the Sioux City East Black Raiders.
We'll go ahead, take a break. You're listening to Ames High Football on
fourteen thirty Kasi Justin Miller alongside Hallof Famer Bruce Vernon here in Ames Stadium.

(02:04:38):
Ames tied up with Sue City Eastwith eleven fifty five to go in
the fourth quarter at twenty eight.On the first play of the fourth quarter,
it was a pass to Jeffrey Robertsthat felt incomplete, short, had
rain written all over it, justnot able to grip the ball here second
and ten to hand it off toJamison Ponies brought down behind the line of

(02:04:59):
scrimmage for a big loss. There. Number twenty nine Kobe Flemister and on
the stop for Seue City East.Flemister is a big name in Sioux City
athletics. I'm not sure maybe hisfather or uncle or but Sarah the Flemister

(02:05:19):
was a standout player or I thinkthe Ivahaukes and went onto the NFL had
a career there as well. Emptybackfield for can't wind two receivers to his
right, one to his left.Ball at the thirty, two thirty and
fourteen with eleven fifteen to go,can't wind steps up in the pocket,
fires it over the mal Delaine Kenny. He's across the fifty forty five forty

(02:05:39):
now across the thirty. Brought downat the twenty and there is a penalty
marker on the field around the thirtythree yard line, and we'll see is
this one gonna come back? Idon't think it's going to be after the
penalty. We got a sideline.We got a fifteen yarder on the sideline,

(02:06:01):
so so looks like, I don'tknow if it's fifteen. Let's see
what is that is that as asideline five it's fifteen. But they're forcing
our hand to do this, youknow, to throw that ball. They
have eight in the box. Youknow what that box is between the tackles,

(02:06:25):
they have eight players are saying,I dare you to throw it.
We tried to throw it to theoutside a couple of times. I think
Camrahg's having a hard time gripping thefootball and this time he's just threw a
real simple dump pass to Lane Kennythat didn't require a fine precision and it
worked quite well. First and tennow at the Susity East thirty nine yard

(02:06:45):
line. They handed off on firstdown to Jamison Poe goes on the right
side of the offensive line across theforty thirty five brought down at the thirty.
It'll be close to a first down, but looks like they'll say he
is short, So bring up secondand two. Really good adjustments here by
our Ames high offense is you knowthey're giving us two things. They're downing

(02:07:08):
thereon you to pass it, andthey're also giving you the edges. And
you know, when you stack eightpeople in you do the math, there's
only three left. A couple ofthem have to cover. So if you
can, if you can get akey one key block on the edge,
you can get the ball outside.Antwine's going to keep it himself. On
second and two, he looks likehe was brought down short. Flemingster again
in the backfield, So bring upthird and one. With ten minutes to

(02:07:30):
go, all tied up, Amestwenty eight sou City East twenty eight,
Ames though marching down into Black Raiderterritory. They're at the Black Raider thirty
yard line. Here we go thirdand one. I'm trying to read coach
the body language. You wasn't veryhappy. You just don't know what he
was not happy with, and thinkit might have been with the read.
Maybe he wanted him to give thefootball in that time because they they rode
the fly sweep the Jets sweep,and he kept it up the middle and

(02:07:55):
had no yards gained, empty backfieldfor Can't Wind two receivers to he was
right, none to his left,high snap, can't Wine jumps up for
it, gets the first down onhis legs and some more. That ball
will be placed at the twenty sixyard line of Sioux City East ends and
aims Little Cyclones first down. Interesting. You know, this game had all

(02:08:15):
the makings of a shootout, andI guess essentially still is, but it's
also kind of turned into a chessmatch. Here with the right now they
are standing their defensive ends up,so they still have five defensive linemen,
but the two are up and wider, which takes care of the flies to
jet sweep, but it also makesthem a little weaker off tackle. Here's
the snap. Cantline's going to goup the middle, breaks out of a

(02:08:39):
tackle but still brought down by twowhite jerseys able to make sure he doesn't
lose any yardage. There. Yeah, so it gained only like one yard.
Yeah. Those two down defensive ends, which are kind of easy to
reach, are now standing up andmoved a little bit wider, and they're
coming off the edge. So thegap is that BC gap, kind of

(02:09:01):
off the shoulder of the tackle.There's quite an opening right there on both
sides second and long with eight thirtyeight to go, twenty eight all,
here's a flat pass to Jamison Poeon the right side. He goes up
the sideline for a nice medium sizegame, but it will still be third
and quite a bit to go witheight twenty five to go. Ball will

(02:09:22):
be placed on the near side hashmark at the Sussity East twenty three yard
line. Jamison's been getting quite afew quite a few yards. I'd say
probably half of his yard is total. Today is going to be him getting
those extra yards after contact that lookedlike it was dead to rights for a
no gain and he turned it intoa five yard game. Eight O six

(02:09:45):
to go shotgun formation. Here's thesnap fakes the hand off to Jamison Poe
goes up the mills can't whine andthat will be short of the first down
marker, but it'll bring fourth inabout four with under eight minutes to go,
twenty eight, twenty eight, Ameswith the ball and pushing into Sious
City East territory. It'll be shotgunformation for can't wine. Looks like there'll

(02:10:09):
be three receivers. Yeah, fourth, and in this situation, we can
do just about anything. Your receiversto his right, Jamison Poe in the
backfield with them to his life.Look for Lane Kenny. Here, here's
a handoff. Jamison Pope breaks outof a backfield tackle, goes up on
the right side. That's gonna begood for a first down and some more
brought out of bounds at the sixteenyard line. Maybe the maybe he got

(02:10:33):
a little more, maybe at thefourteen yard line, but that should be
an Ames little cyclone first down itis with seven seventeen to go in the
fourth quarter. You were quite boldon that call there, because he said
got first down and much more.I think he might have got by half
a yard from this angle, itlooked like he was all the way across

(02:10:54):
the ten yard line. Then Ilook up and I'm like, oh,
oh yeah, a little closer,a little closer coming for he got it,
you know what? And Damison onceagain breaking tackles. W was breaking
tackles and made that happen. He'shad a nice game to night. Three
receivers to can't Wine's left. KentWine takes the staff with the empty backfield,
kind of slips up as he goesup the middle, so he'll bring

(02:11:16):
up second down. This could bethis could be something here, because you
know this clock is ticking down.Six is going to be under six pretty
soon. And uh, what ifwe took what if we took a couple
of minutes more to score? Here'sa snap high snap cam. Wine goes
up the middle, this time stayingon his feet in game, brought down

(02:11:39):
near the nineteen yard line. Themost important thing right now is ball security.
I want two hands. Oh wehave a false start on us.
That is very unfortunate because we werelooking at we were looking at third and
short, and now we're going tobe looking at second and double sticks meaning

(02:12:01):
more than ten yards six nineteen togo in this fourth quarterball placed at the
nineteen yard line, second and thirteentied up at twenty eight. Justin Miller
alongside Bruce Vernon. Thank you forlistening on fourteen thirty ks I or on
your free iHeartRadio app. We havea good one tonight back in forth battle

(02:12:22):
and like you said, coach perfectlystated, it's become a chess match,
especially now with the weather playing ahuge factor. They're still with their three
downlineman. We'll used to call abear front, two inside tackles, noseguard,
two up ends that are wide.Here's the snap looking to throw his
camp wine off his back foot toJeffrey Roberts, but he's met up quickly

(02:12:43):
on that right side at the twentyyard line. So with five point forty
five to go, it'll be thirdand long, still tied at twenty eight
year We've had good luck on thattunnel screen and the high traffic play.
You know, you're trying to runthat against the grain. You're throwing it
out to the sideline and that personthen is coming kind of threw a tunnel

(02:13:07):
made by his blockers, and whenit's run well, it's it's an absolute
thing of beauty. And if not, it's kind of a gauntlet that the
receiver has to come through stockgum formationfor can't wind two receivers to his left.
One too is right. It isthird and fourteen with five ten to
go, ball at the twenty yardline on the near side. Hash Mark,
here's a snap fakes, the handoffhas to roll out left. He's

(02:13:30):
going to be sacked and that's Flemingsterand number looked like number seven Augustine.
Yeah, two seniors Flemister, Ibelieve is a senior. Two guys stepping
up. Two good looking athletes outthere that made a play. As like
I said, as their ends widen, they're they're in a better shape to

(02:13:54):
handle bootleg action. And that's whatCameron was trying to kind of waggle himself
out maybe to the edge. Buttheir defensive end, Number seven climbed.
Who call a climb and you kindof get upfield and we're right there for
it. Fourth and twenty with fourminutes and twenty seconds to go, tie
that twenty eight huge play here timeout though called by Sioux City East.

(02:14:18):
It is important to mention three timeoutsfor the Ames little Cyclones, now two
for Sioux City East. You knowyou mentioned it, talked about it all
season, trying to eliminate the fullestpenalty, and they have been reducing as
the season went on, as youthink, but we didn't even see it.
That's we had a procedure call andit was really flight. But that

(02:14:41):
was going to be third and saythree on the nine yard line. Now
we're looking at fourth and twenty onthe twenty six yard line. It was
a game changer and Ryan definitely playinga factor. But you still have to
be a little nervous with the wayJepson can throw that ball downfield, and

(02:15:01):
when he has a target like RichardStewart. He has targets all over the
place though, six receivers with overone hundred yards receiving, three over two
hundred and two receivers over three hundredyards receiving this season, so they can
move the ball up down the fieldin a hurry. But with four nineteen
to go, there's fourth and twentyto go for the Ames little Cyclones tied

(02:15:22):
up at twenty eight. Ball placedat the twenty six yard line. Shotgun
formation. This ball dribbles on theground, can't wind, has to roll
out left, has to kind ofimprovise and he will be brought down and
that's just a broken up play,another bad snap. Weather clearly playing a
factor here late in the game andwith four minutes of fourteen seconds remaining,

(02:15:43):
SEUs City East takes over the ballwith the game tied at twenty eight,
and now Cameron can't whind kind ofon the ground a little shooken up,
took his helmet off. Don't takea lot to get him out. Now
he'll have to come out because ofhis helmet and there stopping the game,
But don't take a lot to gethim off the field. It wasn't a
turnover, but it was a wetball related snap. So I mean basically

(02:16:09):
the same thing turned the ball overon downs, ball got scooted back there.
I can't blame our center. Idon't know if we're doing a great
job of keeping a dry ball.I mean maybe I don't know, maybe
I'm out a turn on that,but I would be all over our guys
on the sideline just making sure therewas always always a dry ball on the

(02:16:30):
field. So Je Jetsman and theSusity East offense takes over four to fourteen
to go ball at their own fifteenyard line. Here's the handoff to Wegers.
That's the point five yard line.He goes across to the thirty yard
line. We're still waiting for thatturnover. I think it's time for us

(02:16:50):
to create it. You know,I think this would be devastating right now
if we could turn the ball over, if we could get make them turn
the ball over, we would havea short field position in a short time
and end this thing. So let'sstrip the ball. Shotgun formation. Here's
the snap. Two receivers to hisright. He rolls outright, fires it

(02:17:13):
up downfield. Straw Hacker in onthe block and is actually number eight blocking
it. Logan Dolphins. We gotlineman down field, I think seventy two.
I see him walking his way back. So now that will benefit the
little cyclones as it will take legalman downfield. Yep, I'll put this

(02:17:35):
ball instead of being at the thirtyyard line off one. Here does he
take third? You take third andthird and seven or second and uh and
twelve, I would think you.Then he declined it. Yeah, he's
gonna take third and seven. I'mkind of shocked with the weather, second
and twelve. But he's down therecoaching for a reason. I'm not.

(02:18:01):
I retired for a reason. Threethirty six to go in the fourth quarter,
all knotted up at twenty eight amsin sussdes Third and seven. Here
we go, shotgun formation. Tworeceivers to his right one to his left,
rolls out towards his left, haspro and he's gonna be brought down.
No, yeah, across to thetwenty. He gets across the thirty

(02:18:22):
still rolling. That's a first down, but it's a penalty marker. See
I want but I like to seehim Depson. I don't know what he
just did right there, but hewas in the grass inside the ten yard
line through a I gave you this, I gave you this job to go.
Did you ever google a kent toColvy? I hadn't yet. Okay,

(02:18:46):
Well, he pulled the candle,he dropped and threw a threw one
side arm from his hip twenty yardsdownfield, and they rallied and got a
first down. Wegar they're in onthe reception, the big running back.
He's had a great ninth to night. Three touchdowns for him, probably one
of his biggest catches of the seasonright there, Jeffson, like you said,

(02:19:09):
was in the grass of number seventyseven Casey Willett trying to bring him
down and he was able to slingthat one at ames little cyclone player though,
down on the field at the fortyyard line. I'm seeing the cramp
there you go. That's you know, the leg up in the air.
I think that's Jamison. That isJamis Yeah, so yeah, he's bouncing

(02:19:31):
up. It was a cramp whichare painful, but he can bounce back
from that. That was an absolutelyunbelievable throw, completely in the grass.
Probably should have fumbled it. Itwould have on the five yard line.
Throws a sidear him throw twenty fiveyards. They catch it, advance it
ten more for a first time.Unbelievable first and ten three to twenty five

(02:19:54):
to go. Seue City East twentyeight. Ames twenty eight City gigs with
the ball at their own forty onthe far side, hash Mark shotgun formation.
Two receivers to his right, toto his left. He's going to
hand it off to Weger up themiddle, who saws off the speed and
gets about a five yard gang there. He's averaging about five yards to carry

(02:20:16):
this season, he'll bring up secondand short five yards and almost fifty.
I mean he was there was nobody. Uh if you would have broke that
tackle, there was nobody left.Here's the snap, blow snap. They're
going to give it off to therunning back again this time though Ames reads
it perfectly. There in the stopin the backfield is cold and bray,
and now'll bring up third and fiveunder two point fifty to go. Here

(02:20:39):
we go twenty eight to twenty eight, ball out the forty seven yard line,
third and three. Jepson has tworeceivers to his left, to to
his right. Weger in the backfieldwith him. Here's the snap. They're
going to give it to the runningback again. He goes on the right
side and that's good enough for afirst down, and with twenty nine to

(02:21:01):
go, that stops the clock.Tied up at twenty eight games with all
three timeouts two timeouts for the BlackRaiders. They are sticking with their standard
offense. They have no rush rightnow. They think they have plenty of
time. How many time outs theyhave left? Two timeouts for sus City
East, three for Ames two twentyon the clock. They think they low
snap, hands it off to wagerflag on the play, he breaks through

(02:21:22):
one tackle on the right side.He's across the forty now across the thirty
five. That's a first down.But yeah, fall start all start,
so that kind of helps out this. We had that huge penalty in our
previous drive. This could be theequivalent because that would have been first and

(02:21:43):
ten on about the thirty three yardline, and now they're looking at first
and fifteen on the on the minusforty nine, So gives that Ames defense
a little breather. A few guyswith hands on the hips. It's been
a tough night for both defenses.Eight to two toh nine go, that's

(02:22:03):
first fifteen. Sorry. Both defensesalso have made good adjustments in the second
half, and it's not just therain that has kept us scoring down.
The defenses have been playing better.Here's the shotgun formation looking to throw as
Jepson good. He tries to slingit across the middle towards the ground of
JJ gosh, but that is complete. This classic screen read right there,

(02:22:26):
just a total perfect screen read byour defense. We saw it, we
felt that we were all over it. He had no choice and he threw
it at the heels of a runningback as you're supposed to it. But
it's been if it's been diagnosed,so great job by our defense. There
steps man now second and fifteen oneeight to go. Tie that twenty eight

(02:22:46):
as a receiver in motion towards theleft. Three receivers to the left,
one too is right, looking tothrow left, fires it up the mill
that is Stuart who makes the catch, makes a move across the forty five.
Now across the forty brought down thethirty nine and Stuart. We haven't
called out his name a lot,but that's a big catch right there.
Ran fast, third down, thirdand Stuart Ball at the thirty eight,

(02:23:09):
shotgun formation. Two receivers to hisright, two to his left. He
takes the step, hands it offto Weger. He goes on that right
tight breaks through. That's a firstdown and some more brought down at the
twenty eight and with one twenty sevento go, the clock will stop.
We're all tied up at twenty eightall and now here comes that hurry up

(02:23:30):
offense. Still that previous I'm sorry, that previous slant pattern was just thrown.
Here's Weger on first and ten,brought down quickly by Roger Lopez right
at the twenty nine yard line.They say he might be down a yard
behind, so bring up second andeleven and a first time out of the

(02:23:50):
second half for Brian Sausser and theAmes little Cyclones. As we're tied at
twenty eight, they're going fast rightnow, I've I've got to rewind my
mind here. Two plays ago,they were in a very tough situation and
he threw a college level slant alaser so that you know you throw you
can throw slants obviously from the outto the outside guy or the inside to

(02:24:13):
the slot. They threw a slotslant and he was uh so, I
mean it's a very tight throw andhe threw it like a laser. And
you know what, the young mancaught it, caught a wet ball extremely
well. And if my eyes areright, which they aren't, I'm thinking
some of those receivers aren't wearing glovestonight. But it was a heck of

(02:24:33):
a catch, heck of a throw. He's done a couple of things.
Now here, we are second onthe twenty nine yard line. This is
this is this is the sequence righthere, because if they get another first
down there and field goal range,that's this is the sequence where we need
to we need to stop them.Second and eleventh, twenty eight, twenty

(02:24:54):
eight, Live from Aims Stadium,Justin Miller in Hall of Famer Bruce Vernon
against Sioux City East. It isthe Black Raiders with the football just been
as a minute oh seven to getdown the field ball placed at the Ames
thirty yard line, second and elevenshotgun formation, two receivers to is right

(02:25:16):
to to his left, Wager inthe backfield, and it looks like Sausser
taking another time out. So nowhe's only left with one time out and
he's visually upset. Clearly something notset up correctly in that formation, and
you never want to burn two quicktimeouts like that. I think we had

(02:25:37):
a it appears that we had atime out called to just set our defense
correctly, and we came out ofthe time out, I'm sorry, and
did not set it correctly. That'sit we had. That's the blocking language
I'm reading. It's like kind ofa you know, hands in the air.
I think that's probably what he whyhe called it to do, you
know, to set it. Andwe were not in a good shape on

(02:26:00):
that one. So there's still theygot a minute seven what do they have
left? Two? Two times thecity east one time out for Ames tied
at twenty eight. Time is nota factor for them, it is for
us. These next two downs,I mean just just just we did.
Don't want to get him another firstdown because they have a decent kicking game

(02:26:22):
that puts them in field goal rangewith under a minute. So here we
go, second, third, fourth, right here, these three downs will
be the difference ball on the thirtyyard line of aims shotgun formation for Jets.
Jepson two, receiver two is righttwo to his left. Weiger in
the backfield with him looking to throwhis Jepson fires it down the middle,
has Williams open in the back ofthe end zone and he got it.

(02:26:46):
That's a touchdown for Michael Williams.A dart of a throw by sophomore Kale
Jepson to his main target of thenight, Michael Williams, and that now
puts Sue City East on top thirtyfour to twenty eight with a minute to
go. Pat Pending, all Ican say is, Wow, that kid

(02:27:07):
is good. You know. Theonly thing you know, hope he grows
for his sake because he wants.I'm sure he's got the talent to play.
You know, he's got a couplemore years to progress. But that's
a very very good sophomore quarterback,not very big, but throws it extremely
well. Here's the pat It isup. It is good. Thirty five

(02:27:30):
twenty eight with a minute to go, and that ball was just perfectly placed.
I mean, yeah, straw Hackerwas there defending Michael Williams. Just
nothing else he could have done.That ball was either going to be incomplete
towards the back of the end zoneor put Ryan the bread basket, and
it was. And Michael Williams abig, big target senior. Any of

(02:27:52):
our our former staff members and theguys that we worked with are listening.
This kid reminds us of the ofthe maclvane guy from from Des Moines,
Lincoln that went on to start atyou and I was a tremendous player at
about five ten, I'm thinking,and this kid reminds me of him.
He's just a sophomore, not tallin stature, he has different arm angles,

(02:28:18):
can can can throw the deep ball, throws a really nice short balls,
the slants and the and the speedouts, throws them right on time.
You know, that was a theyjust they took their shot. There hasn't
been many things deep tonight. That'sbeen a game where there hasn't been a
lot of yards deep through the air, but right when they needed it,

(02:28:39):
they got it. Thirty susid easton top now late not a lot of
time for the Ames Little cy Clones. There comes the kick. Are they
going to pop it up again?Are they going to kick it deep?
We're going to pop it up,pops it up towards laying Kenny Fair catches

(02:29:00):
it, it goes out of boundsat the twenty one yard line. Yeah,
that ball was good. I thinkwe're hearing the coaches next door.
That was That's tough. That's it'sa it's a pretty effective kicking game.
I tell you what. He isa target shooter out there. Lane,
it's tough. Lane was trying tocatch that football. But I'm getting that

(02:29:22):
ball was going to go out ofbounce and if it goes out of bounce,
we get it on the thirty five, So that ends up being a
difference of fourteen yards. But Ireally can't blame him. He's he's trying
to do his best out there.Minute to go down by seven are the
Ames Little Cyclones. Here comes atime out by Sue City East their second

(02:29:43):
they'll be left with one one aswell for the Ames Little Cyclones. They'll
be first and ten at their owntwenty one yard line at the far side.
Hash Mark and their weapons. Thisis not over just yet little cyclone
fans. Matt Hall, a sixtwo one n five sophomore, we've seen
him make some great catches. Andof course Jeffrey Roberts five eleven one seventy

(02:30:05):
sophomore who plays like he's seven footout there, being able to catch just
about anything you throw in his direction. So there's options for cantwe. I
would make sure i'd grab a ballout of our bag. I tell you
what, I'm one of our bestfriends on this night and for every night

(02:30:26):
here at ams I was a guyby named Ron bear Green who retired from
working with AMSI football, but hewas our equipment manager and the former Iowa
state equipment manager. He would guaranteeus a dry ball out there, because
if we have a dry ball andwe can grip it, we are going
to be able to uh rip it. Yeah, we're gonna rip it.
An You're right, and I'm notmaking excuses that they can throw it.
We're just having difficulty gripping it,and that there there young man is able

(02:30:50):
to manage it right now. ButI just don't know if we can go
deep. Minute to go ball atthe twenty one yard line of vein five
wide can't wind, though he's gonnakeep it himself and run up the middle,
gets a nice gain of about sixslow up were clock stops on first
downs in high school. I don'tblame him for that. He's trying to

(02:31:13):
get it grind to get a cheapone. Maybe he could burst through and
get twenty thirty yards second and short. Here's the stat penalty marker in the
backfield. That may be another falsestart, and we'll see what happens here.
And it is a false start onthe Ames Little Cyclones, just unforced

(02:31:33):
airs hurting them late in the gametonight forty seconds though still on the clock.
It'll just be a little harder nowgetting up that hill is at second
and seven opposed to second and twothirty five twenty eight Sousity East on top
ball place at the twenty four yardline of the Little Cyclones, five wide,
low snap bobbled, Can't Wind firesit deep as a man open and

(02:31:56):
it's picked off Jeffrey Roberts, theintended receiver. That ball was just underthrown
and Dane Milton kicks it off againstCan't Wine and now the celebration starts for
Sieu City East, but a poundingmarker flies up in the air, and
that should be a sideline warning,probably on the SIUs City East Black Raiders.

(02:32:26):
Well, at the beginning of thenight, I thought weather it was
going to be a factor. Ithought it was going to affect them,
you know, it, as itturned out, in effected our passing game
more. You know, they werejust maybe they ran there, you know,
handled it. They just handled itbettery. Whether they were wearing I
don't I couldn't see if the quarterbackwas wearing a glove. Sometimes they do,

(02:32:48):
but it just didn't seem to bea factor. They caught balls and
they rarely dropped them, no matterhow Hardy threw it, and we kind
of left balls up in the aira little bit on shame because I think
I believe we're better, and Iknow our coaches believe we were tonight,
but we couldn't get the ball toJeffrey when I think we had the opportunity
to. We just couldn't physically gethim the ball in that time too.

(02:33:11):
Can't wind not able to get anyrhythm too, because the ball was fumbled
or bobbled on the snap, Sowe kind of had to just get it
out quick as Jepson takes a kneeand that will do it for tonight.
Sue City East coming on the roadand in the final minute hicking off Cameron

can't wind and ceiling the deal afterJepson found his best thrown ball of the
night to his big man Michael Williamsin the back of the end zone.
So the final will be Sue CityEast thirty five Your Aimes, Little Cyclones twenty eight
