A

Good afternoon and welcome to the preseason kickoff special at Bay, County TV, I'm, Jeff Doan and, along with my quiz dalla, a whole lot of excitement surrounds 2019, with Bay County football.

B

I tell you: Jeff I am really excited for this season to get underway in less than a week, I'm. Looking for big things from all that all of our Bay County teams, we got some good-looking football players, good-looking student athletes. We got a great schedule this year we get the best seat in the house and we get to have a lot of fun watching these young men play a lot.

A

Of youth and inexperience around bate County last year, I really feel strongly about that being a good year of experience and we will see the dividends in wins and losses this year, yeah.

B

I think so, Jeff I think a lot of those young players got a lot of experience. At the varsity level, some sophomores were brought up. Some juniors had to play quality minutes and in key positions. So I think this year's experience and all the teams in Bay County is going to help them be successful. This year, 2019 well.

A

We just can't wait again. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to do a preseason scrimmage got a chance to see two Bay County teams in Bay, City, Central and Garber really liked what I saw from both of those teams ran into coach Clyde at the grocery store found out a little bit about the John Glenn Bobcats, and when you talked to Bay County coaches, the one thing they do is smile like hsir cat well,.

B

You know they and those coaches. Jeff are really really good. They've been around a long time, they're good coaches, they're good on the field, they're good off the field, they care about kids and they're dedicated to their craft, and we have some really good head coaches, some excellent assistants in Bay County, and that they do a fine job with all the kids. All the student athletes in all the schools in all the sports, so I take I've been a head coach. I know what they have to go through on a daily basis.

B

I take my hat off to them and say great job guys sit.

A

Back relax and enjoy the great pre-season special forthcoming right here at Bay County TV at.

C

Covenant, health care, we lead with the most advanced technology, we lead with the most experienced, comprehensive medical and surgical teams. We lead with partnerships to teach our future doctors and with organizations who helped us bring world-renowned care close to home. We lead because our patients are at the center of everything. We do covenant health care, extraordinary care for every generation.

A

Good afternoon and welcome back to our pre-season special here on Bay, County, TV, Jeff, tone and Mike was that, along with you, let's get her started with the Cougars. Well,.

B

I'll tell you what Jeff it's hard to believe, but here we are 2019. High school football season is just around the corner. It's.

A

Less than a week away, we are extremely excited about the possibilities and, as we start with the All Saints Cougars, you always start with the head man and it's a coming home party for the head. Man and I believe his second year back at All, Saints yeah.

B

Eric gasa Jeff back at all things after a little hiatus so to speak, did a really nice job last year. Had a four and five record Cougars are in that eight-man, Football, League and we've said it many times. If you haven't seen eight-man football make sure you get out to see the Cougars play this year. They're gonna be exciting and that's wild and wooly and a lot of points on eight-man. As you well know, it's.

A

One of those things where, if you're a fan, it's great, if you're a referee, you better think those four hack shoes, but you know quality this year, not quantity is they're down to 14, kids participating yeah.

B

That 14 numbers a little bit lower than what they've been used to Jeff, but you know what Eric we'll have those kids ready their practice and Howard over there at st. stands field and and they're gonna they're gonna do some good things this year, I feel really good about the Cougar chances. This year now.

A

Unfortunately, three kids from last year that were contributors not make it back one with a head injury, one with the severe shoulder injury and that really hurts. But you certainly have to understand long-term health for these young men.

B

Yeah, you know Jeff when you're young, like that, and sometimes you get hurt, you got to make some tough decisions and it's for the benefit of the student-athlete and they're gonna be fine and unfortunately, they're not going to be part of that sideline this year, but they're still going to be part of that team and Eric will welcome them in the practice and make them part of the squad.

B

So I'll, that's a tough break for all things, but as I always say you got to dance with the 14 you came with, so the Cougars will be ready. Now.

A

When you've got 14 people, probably the biggest thing that you've got to work on as a coach is teaching multiple positions for each of your players.

B

Goes down during the game you gotta be ready to play if the center goes down and the guards got to move over to Center and maybe the halfback say, I'll go over to play guards. So you get a lot of reps at a lot of different positions, but they got that tradition over there at All, Saints Jeff, they're gonna play some really good football. This year, they've.

A

Got a young man in his third year, starting at running back started as a freshman freshman young mr. Duggal, on duke.

B

Line is a speedster Jeff. You know when he gets around the corner that young man has an extra speed extra gear. He does a nice job. You know he's not very big but he's not afraid to punish either he'll kind of run you over if he gets that chance. But if he gets outside beep-beep look out, there goes the roadrunner for the Cougars. No.

A

He had a great freshman season, he kind of came in under the radar I think to his benefit this year. He really had to work for everything he got last year.

B

Yeah he did you know you got that target on his back. He was a marked man in year. Number two he's gonna be a marked man in year. Three and he's gonna be a marked man in year, four, so the words out on that young man, but he'll do some nice things he's good out of the backfield and he's good in between the tackles, but he's got that extra gear when he gets way outside by the sidelines as.

A

We look at the schedule this year we got a great fall schedule. Let's talk about the two games involving the All Saints Cougars.

B

Yeah Jeff, we do have a great schedule: September 13th early in the season game, yeah, lucky certify to the thirteen at All Saints went international Academy is coming into town and on October 18th, All Saints is taken out and what many consider a really good program over there on Lake Huron Carsonville port Santa Lac will be coming to Saint Stansfield Jeff. So those are the two games that Bay County TV will be doing in hope and good, exciting things for the All Saints Cougars this year. We're.

A

Excited about the possibilities for the All Saints Cougars back in a moment as our preseason special continues on BC TV.

D

Our smiles can light up a room.

D

Our work can light up an entire city, we're the men and women of the IBEW working with a code of excellence that guarantees the job will be done right on time and safely we're lighting the path to the future.

D

Let us show you just how bright that path is back.

A

At our preseason special here on Bay County TV time to talk about the bay city, central wolves and we start with second-year head coach, Kevin Frederick, you.

B

Know Jeff we watch Kevin Frederick mature, getting his cut his teeth here at Bay, City central as a coordinator, and saw him up on w kzo ver Northeast Michigan, at what a more Prescott Kevin has done. A nice job had a nice career and the rumor is he's looking forward to a big year at Bay, City Central. Now.

A

I think when you look at last year, they struggled about the first five to six games of the year. New coach, new system and new terminology really took these kids a while, but they finished the season strong once they figured it out. Yeah.

B

And, let's not forget one thing and stepping into the shoes of the head coaching position following a legend and coach Morley Frazier, like you, said all new things, all new terminology, but you know what I think the kids did. A nice job prepared well fought hard last year, a lot of experience coming back this year, so the Bay City Central Wolves, are there gonna be a exciting group this year you.

A

Start by talking about the returning experience on the offensive line with four of the five starters, they really had to bring some people up last year that don't think we're quite ready to come up, but numbers and injuries dictated, but that should be one of the strengths of this team this year. Well,.

B

They took their lumps last year Jeff, but you know what, when you, when you listen to what's going on with that offensive line, that's a nice challenge for them. This year, they've worked hard during the offseason. They got to the weight room. They got in good conditioning and they're gonna they're gonna prove people wrong. That last year we were young inexperienced new terminology this year, we're coming out to play and we're gonna put some hats on some people. Hayden.

A

Yot Chuck at quarterback was an understudy last year to the career leader in passing yards and Bryan L. He got his share of snaps as well. I did the scrimmage yesterday officiated it and he was pinpoint well.

B

It's good to have somebody with experience. You know by an elder, did a nice job over all the years that he was here he's no longer with the wolves, but yeah check will do a nice job and he got some time last year. So he knows what it's like varsity level in the valley and I'll. Tell you what that's going to be a very, very good league again this year, then.

A

You look to running back running back. Success is determined by the offensive line. The offensive line should give some holes in if he can get through the front. Seven he's another Road Runner in that unique.

B

Unique use in his very unique Jaffee is another speedster. He gets outside you're just not going to catch him, and you know what he does a nice job in between the tackles he's strong enough to run. There keep everybody honest, but he's got great field vision. If he gets clogged up Center to guard, he can bounce it outside if he gets outside he's down the sidelines. It's six points for the Wolves he's.

A

Got another gear which he showed yesterday, the other person that goes from zero to a thousand and no time is the wide receiver, devel, Washington and devel. After to his admission, had a substandard junior year is really looking to finish out his career at Central. On a high note, wow.

B

What a unique combination you got a great running back with speed. You've got a great receiver with good hands and speed. That's a tremendous combination, and what that experience that offensive line? You know that's that's a lot of threats right there for the Bay, City central wolves and it's gonna be tough to defend against them. That offensive line they're ready to rock. You know, look for some tricky plays out of Kevin Frederick. We we know he can be kind of a sneaky guy when it comes to call in plays.

B

So if you got that type of speed, you might as well unleash a move, get him going well.

A

And last year, as the year went on, Brian elder became a big factor at running back Hayden yeah check yesterday ran the ball very well too. So you've really got a three-headed monster offensively, which has got to be a nightmare for defensive coordinators.

B

Well, what a great three-headed monster, like you say, Jeff, throwing the ball running the ball and the quarterback that have some speed and maybe do some options play and do a lot of read: option and a little RPL for the base of the central walls. But you know what it's gonna be a fun year for the Wolves and angle stadium will be rocking at home on Friday nights. Can't.

A

Wait to find out how that all transpires as Bass City central will make it happen. What are the two games that we've got from Bay City central.

B

This year I find September 27th. We got a big one.

A

B

Birthday by the way, I forget the first central verse, John Glen right here at Engel, Stadium Jeff.

A

Years ago here was.

B

A dilly wasn't it and then of course, October 25th, the last game of the regular season. The base of the Western Warriors will head down u.s. 10 and come right over to Columbus and Johnson and take on the Wolves in that extraordinary special rivalry. That's been going on for all these years. All.

Give us a call at nine, eight, nine, eight, nine three, eight two nine four good afternoon and welcome back to our pre-season special on BC, TV, Jeff tone and Mike was dolla. Let's talk about those Garber dukes who coming off a five and five season last year, a pretty young team last year that I think is really gonna come into their own this year you.

B

Know Jeff going five and five that Duke team got a little taste of the playoff last year and that's not a bad taste to have. They didn't win that game. But you know what experience for that young team last year coming into this year, had some playoff experience and got some experience. Kids coming back for 2019 and Coach.

A

Koch Willard practisin coach well he's been black he's one of the veterans coming back here, as he's been around that program out at Garber for a few years now, yeah.

B

He's done a really nice job out there Jeff we've watched her practices, they're very organized they're. Very intense he's got a good-looking group of kids this year and again, I think Garber is going to be really good this year and surprise a few people well.

A

It starts off with Adam Chimel had a great year last year, 71 of 136 for eleven hundred and forty yards through 15 touchdown passes not too bad for a junior, not.

B

Bad at all, Jeff- and you know, coming back as a senior he's going to be the leader of that offense he's got some good experience. Runs the ball fairly well also, but, as you can see, throws the ball really well, 15 touchdowns in 1,400 yards, that's pretty good, and you know when you've got that type of experience at the quarterback he's gonna demand the respect in the huddle. The kids are gonna, listen to him and he's gonna leave those cool. Excuse me those Dukes down the field. Well,.

A

And he's backed up by a guy named Tommy shebanski who, as a freshman as a baseball player in his first game ever throwing against Western, throws a two-hitter, 2-1 victory and signs with the very noble institution recently.

B

A

Would that be the University of Michigan very good, very.

B

A

Too many freshmen yeah have that accolade on him. So he started as a freshman on the JV team last year. Athletic ability extraordinaire, but a good learning opportunity behind Chimel he'll have the reins for the next two years. Yeah.

B

That's gonna be a really good experience for that young man Jeff and that's good depth for the Garber dukes. You know. Sometimes you look at it. You might not have that death, but the the Dukes got some depth this year and you know they're gonna be very, very tough to deal with in the TVC. I was.

A

Here for the scrimmage yesterday at Bay, City Central Garber was part of that as well. One of the things that Jake Willard talked about was the great leadership and I said senior leadership. He said no leadership, he has got some underclassmen. His son is one and there's a young man named Van soumarin. That is.

B

Another one to.

A

The front well he's bigger and his brother.

B

But you know what Jeff, when you get the younger kids and they're stepping up and being leaders, sophomores or juniors, or maybe sometimes, if you're lucky enough to catch a freshman like that. That is a huge, huge job off of the coaching staff. You know a little peer pressure from the kids onto the kids is not such a bad thing. So it's good to see the young player stepping up well.

A

And young players will continue to step up two years ago that eighth grade team I had a chance many games to officiate. They dominated their opponents by 40 to 50 points a game, so the future looks bright at Garber, copper's.

B

Not bear out there at Garber Jeff and that's good football out there for the young young athlete saying that Coach Cal does a nice job and he's he's keeping some consistency within that staff and every time you know they come back every year. Kids know exactly what they have to do, where they have to be how it has to be done. It's got to be done the Duke way, if it's not going to be done, that way, we're not going to do it well.

A

And during the practice yesterday, I had a couple of kids come up and go mr. dhowan mr. doe, which games do you have this year? We're about to tell.

B

The world young folks I'm going to tell you right now: September 20th the week before your birthday, Garber is gonna. Take on that old rivalry, Jeff the Panthers, the Birch Run, will be over there at the Garber field. The ad Harvey field, I, should say and I knocked over eleventh. This is kind of like a north old Northeast Michigan Conference rivalry. The Garber dukes will host the Standish sterling Central Panthers. In that.

A

Home coming home coming night big night for one and all that gives you a little taste of what we've got from the garbin dukes back as our preseason special continues on BC TV, so your car is getting towed and you're not sure where to take it. Tri village towing an auto repair. Our expert mechanics are here to help assist you with all your repair NEADS.

A

We have over 30 years of experience with motor vehicles, so you know you're getting the best work that you can find stop by the shop at 2377, South Huron Road in Colin, or give us a call at nine, eight, nine, six, eight four, nine 607 back with the pre-season special at BC TV. Now, let's talk about the John Glenn, Bobcats and Mike. When you start with the Bobcats numbers step out at forty five kids out for varsity football, that's.

B

An impressive number Jeff when you get that many kids, you know the good thing is, you might be able to bring the offense on and have the defense go on and not leave any kids out on that field. So that's that's an impressive number for the John Glenn Bobcats and.

A

You've got a head coach he's one of the long in the tooth head coaches, ten years as the hat man in two decades in the program. So he is definitely a bobcat through and through.

B

And ten, ten years as a head coach over at John, Glenn I remember when I was like it was yesterday, but you know again: consistency in the coaching staff at these programs at John Glenn is really key, because you know what Jeff, when you walk out on the field, you know what you expect from the coaching staff. You know the drills, you know the timing, you know the plays and that's a big big thing for for coaching staff. You just blow the whistle and we're gonna go, do what we got to go. Do last.

A

Year in their assumption, one innate a substandard gear, but they were decimated by injuries early and often in the season.

B

Yeah, we saw him a couple times last year Jeff and they looked like radar, O'reilly and L, and although over there was a mass unit, they had a lot of injuries, but they overcame it. But you know as bad as some injuries our Jeff, some younger kids. Some younger players got some playing time so now they're used to that varsity level, and it's going to be big things for the Bobcats this year, I'm.

A

Telling you coach, you're scaring me you start to fake next question away, but we roll right on to a senior lead quarterback a four year starter at quarterback. That is almost unheard of at this level of varsity football. Well,.

B

You know I remember when we watched him as a freshman Jeff. We are so impressed with this composure in the way he was handling himself out on the field. Job long and the consummate professional for the Bobcats. Does everything well? Does the little things well and is a good leader for that offensive team and I go back to seeing him last year when he was hurt when we went out to Western, he was out there throwing the ball around going to receivers, had the headset on I think when he was out in the sidelines.

B

So you know even when he wasn't playing, he was still trying to help that squad and I see coaching in that young man's future.

A

You're right inside my head, that was gonna, be my next lead-in as well. He worked as hard after he got injured as he did now. He has got a Rory O'hare connection, that connected yesterday on the scrimmage for four touchdowns. This is a combination that is going to be electrifying. He's got just enough speed to be elusive in his hands. Our exception.

B

Well, he's got a great quarterback throwing to him Jeff and over here, like you, said great hands, good route, runner solid and if job gets the time to throw the football. With that nice offensive line, I'm gonna tell you what ol hair's gonna have a big year, but I do remember nice routes and really really good hands for that young man. Nathan.

A

Jacobs first team, all Saginaw Valley League last year, with a hundred and five tackles you start doing the knot. Knot, you're almost 12 tackles per game. That means you're everywhere on the field.

B

That is very impressive Jeff and he goes sideline to sideline when he's when he's playing a football and he's not afraid to get in. There knock a few heads around and a hundred and five tackles and nine games. That's really impressive, and you know that defense will get better this year got some good players coming back. But when you got a leader like that on defense, that's just gonna go all through that defense. Let's.

A

Look at the schedule and see the two games that involved the John Glenn Bobcats.

B

Right September 27th, like we said earlier, central 1st, John Glenn at Engel Stadium, and then we have John Glenn two weeks in a row we'll be heading out to if I'm not mistaken, going out to the city western to play this year against the Warriors. So boy we got a little county rivalry, two weeks in a row with Central Western and John Glenn. That.

A

Is going to be fun, look for that team to make huge strides from last year's one and eight they're.

B

Gonna be fun to watch Jeff and they're on a mission. They want to make sure that one and eight is not going to happen this year and that coaching staff and that team I feel really good about what's gonna happen, best.

A

Of luck to the Bobcats back at a moment is our preseason special continues on Bay County TV.

E

D

Probably never know about his thousands of hours of on-the-job training or that he spent as much time in the classroom as someone with a master's degree, you and I know he's one of the experts when it comes to electricity, part of a team committed to doing the job right, they call him dad. You call him the electrician right down the street. I BEW the power professionals in your neighborhood back.

A

Once again, with our pre-season special on bait, county TV, Jeff, Doan and Mike was doll along with you, the Pinconning Area Spartans. Now, and as we start to talk about them, they have got a huge first game of the year against their next-door neighbors.

B

Well, I remember those days Jeff when we used to do the pink awning area Spartans and the standard Sterling Central Panthers 15 miles apart from each other lots of respect from each other that boy when they get in between the lines that respect is out the door and they just go after each other, really good rivalry. Dave.

A

Levasseur, head coach, born and raised through that program has the opportunity, after great success in oscoda, to come back and get that program going. I had a bit of a down year last year, but I really think that they had a great off season in the weight room and they are going to be counted on very heavily by a great two way: starter and Blake Schumann. Well,.

B

Blake we watched him Jeff many years. He does a nice job, Dave Levasseur. We saw him cut his teeth up and Oscoda when we were up there watching those games. It comes to Pinconning. Put some new wrinkles in there get the kids in the weight. Room really excited, gets a community involved in doing a lot of nice things and guy is one high-energy coach and he always looks good, do with the shirt and tie every Friday night, with kind of like some of the old-style football coach he's an old school kind of guy yeah.

A

You gotta love it when they're looking good they're playing the part. This is the first time in five years they have been viewless in their leadership. Wow.

B

No more views as there's no more views on that team. That.

A

We know of now.

B

We know of that, we know, you know. Mike views the superintendent up. There is two boys play they've been there for about five years, like you said, so they were good quality football players Jeff. But you know, like I, said before you got a dance with the team. You came with they're gonna find a way to put that thing together and I like the chances of the pink County and Area Spartans this year after.

A

A short stint in the Tri Valley they're, moving to the Jackpine geographically and from the busing standpoint, smile and smile.

B

Those are some long rides for the Pitt County area, Spartans in the Tri, Valley Jeff, but I think it's a good move move into the Jackpine they're gonna see some schools that are similar in size. I think gladwyn might be on that schedule this year for Pinconning Stan just threw in you got the Sanford Meridian. That's a good, solid program, so I think going to the check. Jackpine is good for the athletic side and those long bus trips are. They still have some trips, but they're not gonna, be quite as long well.

A

In when I look to the move to the Jackpine I, don't just look at football I! Look at it as a benefit for all of academics, because your kids aren't gonna, be pulling back into the school at 11:00 11:30 at night having to get home and then get up in the morning for school, and/or practice before school. Well,.

B

You know and that that's part of it you got it. You know you look at football and basketball. You got. You got look at all sports when you're deciding to go out of a league.

B

You have to look at all sports guys and girls, and you have to do what's best for your student athlete and what's best for the district and when Mike view and and the administration team and the athletic director and I'm sure the Booster Club and the school board said you know, I think moving to the Jackpine would be the best fit for Penn County I think they made the right choice. I think.

A

It's gonna be wonderful, let's take a peek and see what were blessed with from them this year, we've.

B

Got game number one to start the year off, Jeff, like we said, Pinconning is taking on these standard sterling Central Panthers in game number two we're gonna be up there, two weeks in a row, Pinconning versus the Harrison Hornets from up north. So that's a Jackpine conference second game of the week, gonna be a lot of fun in penny this year, penny.

A

Picked a good year to move because they had a 260 pound running back in Harrison last year and he done that graduated, which has got to bring smiles to their faces. I.

B

Do see you later and see the horns and the Panthers this year against been counting we'll.

A

Good afternoon and welcome back last, but certainly not least, we are talking Western warrior football. Basically.

B

Western warrior Jeff coming off a one-in-eight season last year. Second year, head coach, Chris Ward's did a really nice job of really getting a different mindset out there at Bass City Western, and we all know that handi wildcat that Michigan State Spartan is dedicated to getting that program. Turning around he did it the right way in the first year. Well,.

A

Coming into last year, he had to work to get these kids into the weight room. It started a little bit later than he would like, but he was talking 40 strong in the offseason in the weight room. I think that in itself, piece huge dividends.

B

Well, you know he's a real high-energy guy Jeff, he's kind of he's. A leadership type of guy goes out and talks about leadership and positive, and that's what he brought to us and they wanted some positive leadership and some energy, not that the other cultures out there weren't doing that they did a Jeff Rahl did a fantastic job out there were you and I are both big Jeff Hall fans, but Chris is bringing a different dynamic. Everybody has a different coaching style.

B

Chris is bringing that to the Warriors, not a positive energy and a lot of things off the football field where they can get together and have some camaraderie off the football field doing things they.

A

Did a little paintball exhibition before the season started, there was only one rule and that's no hati coachee. Somehow a straight errant shot hit him in the leg and after he said how he, then he smiled and they just went on the kids got a blast out of it. But what great bonding time well.

B

And that that's what you got to do, Jeff and sometimes the most important times with the team, is off the field away from the school and just doing things together. That's why I like going to summer basketball camps when I was coaching basketball, get away from Tom, get away from everything you have. Your kids have some fun and just go out there and do what you can do and learn from your mistakes and have fun doing it. This.

A

Year they've got the luxury of two experienced quarterbacks in cheek Frizzell and carter Bacigalupi nice.

B

To have back-to-back like that, Jeff I remember when I played at All Saints I'd go on play won another quarterback come on, so we were interchanging all the time. That's not a bad way to go. Sometimes you got to get used to the different cadence, but really both of them are gonna, get a lot of experience a lot of playing time as they did last year and that's not a bad thing. They have to quality quarterbacks for the Warriors one.

A

Of the best names in football Taylor pop that young man really burst on the scene on both sides of the football he's got the ability to be a thousand yard rusher this year.

B

He's really a good football player, Jeff kind of an old school type, football player kind of like a fullback type player. Just and again he can run it through the tack between the tackles and he can go outside, but he is a hard nosed runner. Second, third, fourth effort: that's gonna, take more than one person bring that young man down the.

A

Other player, offensively Blake Micek really did some good things last year. I think he's gonna step up and have a big senior season.

B

Yeah we like the way he played last year, Jeff. That was really impressive. You know, and a lot of those kids last year got some got more varsity experience.

B

It was a tough year at one and eight, but you could see when we went out there to watch them when, as soon as it got kicked off and the final horn went off, they played 100 percent the whole time and that's to the coaching staff and to those kids out there- and you know they got a lot of pride out there at Western and they're gonna play some football this year on.

A

The defensive line sight of the ball. You have got Wade Whitt skhul, who also really came into his own last year and they're. Looking for huge things from him defensively and the move to tackle from Center offensive.

B

Well, we called him a lot last year on the defensive side of the ball. He had really tremendous games the two times we are out there Jeff and they get experiences. The key you've got kids that were playing last year as juniors and sophomores played a lot they're getting in the seniors and juniors this year. That's gonna pay dividends down the road for Coach Ward's, his staff and the Bay City West and warriors, and the cornfield is going to be rocking this year. They're really fired up out there week.

A

One they've got Flint, curly I saw them in the scrimmage yesterday, and I really feel positively strong about westerns opportunities to start their season off one and O for the first time since 2012 well,.

B

And that's really that's a good way to start the season and seven years since they went want to know starting the season and Jeff and they broke an 18 game losing streak last year by one in that game. So you know you gotta, take you got to crawl, then you take some baby steps and then you get up and run and carry that football. Lots of excitement I'm really really excited to see what Western has on the field. This year, I.

A

Like your grandpa.

B

A

Been good to you, brother, let's.

B

A

About the two games for Western.

B

This year, Jeff October 4th John Glenn will be pointing West and out at Western and again right back October 25th. We got the old rivalry, Central Western at the Engel Stadium boy, that's going to be a fun game and those two teams are coming in with some playoff aspirations or whatever they're thinking about win-loss or whatever. You know we've been here many times. That's gonna be a lot of fun. Watch.

A

Out world the Western Warriors are gonna, be heard from this year, we'll be back to put the wraps on our preseason special in just a minute: I'm Bay, County TV.

The only thing that matters to us is keeping the lights on for you, the hard-working men and women of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers dedicated to keeping the power on in communities across the country, because, when bad weather starts, we know what matters mostly the IBEW.

Back as we put the wraps on this preseason special for 2019 and Mike, we talk 2019 football. It brings a smile to our face, sir.

B

Does Jeff? Well, you know we start talking, probably beginning of August get our preseason show going. We look at the schedule. Nick you and I put that schedule together and we were fired up early August and it's less than a week away and we're gonna start out at Pinconning we're gonna end up at Central. We got some great games in between now.

A

Again, when we're looking at this year, we just reviewed all six teams: I, look for all six Bay County schools to have improved win-loss records this year.

B

I would agree with that Jeff. You know again. We talked about the young players who had to step up last year, inexperienced players out a lot of these teams. They've got the experience. Now they got that varsity taste goal from JV up to varsity is a huge step, no matter what league you're in whether you're an eight-man or you're in the Saginaw Valley or the Tri Valley. Those are big steps, so those kids got some experience. They know what to expect in a varsity game and it's gonna pay dividends payoff for all those kids right.

A

And people have to understand last year a lot of those kids weren't ready to be played. They were thrown into action, but they got valuable snaps, so they go ahead from there. Yeah.

B

And if they started out on the JV team, there was a reason they were down there, but they had to be brought up because things maybe I've been at some of those positions, but it's always nice to have experience at the varsity level and I. Just think this. This group of teams this year have have a lot of experience coming back to be successful. Well,.

A

We are going to take a look right now at our entire 2019 football schedule for the fall as we will go through them from week. One through week. Nine all.

B

B
