Columbus North High School

I'm one of your two hosts.

I'm Coach Jared Turner at Yorktown, and joined, as always, by Coach Rick Sluder at Columbus North.

How we doing, Coach?

I'm doing fantastic.

And, um, that was one that you and I both saw on there and were excited for her to go after another sectional title.

Yep, and, uh, look, I'm not gonna leave this out, Coach.

I know you will not bring it up, but you got a chance to do some pretty, uh, special things here, too, with, uh, as far as the amount of sectionals that you guys have taken care of there at Columbus North and the amount of sectionals in a row that you have taken care of down there at Columbus North.

So, uh, good luck.

I'm Coach Jared Turner.

I coach at Yorktown High School, and, uh, joined as always by Coach Rick Sluder from Columbus North High School.

Been a while, coach, but how are you doing?

It has.

And, and then also both you and I have had our own kids on the team, and so that's been an extra layer of specialness, you know? Um, but, uh, yeah, we, we have found some time.

We texted.

We got a little fall break action going on for, uh, Columbus North.

We just came off of ours, but, uh, yeah, figured we'd jump on here and, uh, maybe do a little preview of the, uh, tournament that's coming up.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

From East Central High School, it's Trojan Field tonight in St. Leon, Indiana, where the Class 4A number one East Central Trojans play host to the Class 6A Columbus North Bulldogs in high school football action.

This is Rob Moorhead, joined by my partner, Jerry Stanger, this evening, and we are glad you're joining us here on 103.9 FM and wrbiradio.com. Tonight's game is being brought to you by the following sponsors: Whitewater Motors, Ivy Tech Community College, Hurt & Elco, Farm Bureau Insurance agent Doug Sherwood, Decatur County Memorial Hospital, Bruns Gutzwiller, Batesville Chrysler Dodge Jeep, Andress Wuestefeld Funeral Home, Gehrings, Luke's Auction Service, and Cornerstone Realty, Batesville Dental, Ice and Family Pizza, Party Pod, Fleetwood Chevrolet, Moore Law Office, Margaret Mary Health, Franklin County Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, and Wright Fiber.

The East Central Trojans bring their 6-1 record into tonight's contest, fresh off of a win at Connersville last Friday night by a final score of 70-27.

In their first ever football meeting with the Columbus North Bulldogs, the Bulldogs come in with a record of 3-4.

But Jerry Stanger, you can never take a Class 6A team lightly, as they play a very tough schedule.

Yeah, they do.

And, and you can break it down a little bit farther, your linebackers, your offensive line, your defensive backs, all those kind of positions.

[upbeat music]

All right, back again here at Columbus North.

wrbiradio.com, WRBI App.

Coverage of East Central football on the road tonight, making the trek northward to take on the Connersville Spartans.

Uh, so there's a big disparity there.

Um, but they've scored 50 points three times, and, uh, and one other time they've scored 49.

And like I said, they've got some playmakers into skill positions, so the Trojans cannot take this game lightly and not overlook the Spartans as they head back home for the last two weeks of their regular season, uh, against Columbus North and Roncalli.

Absolutely, and this is, uh, obviously a conference game too.

I chose, and see, this is the thing.

I was wary about it because I was judging at the Columbus North show last weekend, Mid-States contest.

And the last time I judged Columbus North, Ohio State lost to Oregon on the same day.

and i made a joke to the judge panel beforehand i was like well the last time i was here osu got beaten up by oregon uh at this same show and then you know we critique ends and the third quarter is happening and i like you know give drew brown a hug while when he's on his way out and get in my car and flip it on and like all all is well it's 23 to 3 and then all of a sudden it's not And my parents were watching the game and were like catatonic.

And I think my first reaction was pure rage.

And then it was followed by, well, you know, they've lost before.

this time and that's turned out pretty well uh two national championship runs i think 02 and 14 uh ended or started with an early season weird loss and ended with an addy so i i got my trust in ryan day man i love that two
