 Penetration, but they couldn't get hard. He gets the corner, he's out to the 40. Good straight drop, hit the rush table, he hits as he throws. Bermont back, makes the catch, cleans it. Binslow drops it back and lost it passed over to the center. Caught for a touchdown. But he's got it. He makes a great leaping grab. We're at South High School. We're only the fourth time in the history of Sheboygan football. Well, Sheboygan team play an out-of-state team. Tonight Sheboygan Lutheran will play Rockford Christian from Rockford, Illinois. Hello everybody, my name is Mike Martin and joining me is Tom Burr. Tom, we need to mention that Chris Wright isn't here tonight. He has work responsibilities over at St. Dominic. So I want to thank you for giving of your time to come over tonight. It's my pleasure to be here. It's a great night for football, Marty, and I'm anxious to get the game started. A little unusual to play on a Tuesday night, but that comes about because of a situation out in clover. Well, I think that's part of it. I think the other part is that the two teams that were scheduled for Lutheran went into a conference. So they had to scramble and get two non-conference games. And this is the only night Rockford could play. Now Rockford comes in. They haven't played a game yet. They were ranked pretty high last year, although they only finished four and five. Lutheran comes in. This is our second game. They're all in one. It's almost 21 to nothing to Williams Bay. It was Williams Bay totaled something like 209 yards. They averaged 5.8 yards per carry. So they're going to have to... Lutheran's going to have to look to shut down the run tonight, I think. Lutheran likes to throw the ball. Taylor Poth was 13 for 27 for about 130 yards last week. That seems the way that Lutheran goes. I think Lutheran does a lot of passing. I look for a lot of passing tonight. The only thing I worry about for Lutheran is, and then with this wind, the wind is going to have a great effect, I think, on the passing and on the kicking game. Good point. When we come back, we'll find out how much of an effect this wind will have. I know it's blowing on her back right now, so stay tuned. We'll be right back with the opening kickoff. Not that I have much time with these little guys and my job, but when my wife went back to school, I thought, why can't I? Certain things in life demand my attention, but a new career in computer science deserves my attention. An evening class at Lakeland doesn't tie my life in knots thanks to a flexible, easy to manage schedule that allows me to balance work, school and the twins. Evening classes that meet once a week, that's the easy part. On the football field, you've got to stay focused and not get distracted.

The Major League Baseball Players Trust and Volunteers of America are teaming up to make a real difference in the lives of the people in our communities. Join a winning team. See what you can do to help. We're back at South High School. Let's go through the starting lineup for Cheboygan Lutheran. In the line starting at center will be Will Smith, he's number 55. The two guards are number 67, Nicholas Carrier and number 77, Matt Maldonado. The tackles are number 58, Zach Frank, and number 53, Matthew Risa. The ends are Joshua Nimmer, he's number 30, he'll be the tight end. The wide receivers are number 28, TJ Radloff. Radloff is the leading receiver for the Crusaders in the young season. And number 25, Caleb Davis is the other wide receiver. In the backfield, the cornerback will be number 13, Taylor Puth, and the running backs number 22, Benjamin Herbst and number 10, Tony Holm. Lutheran is coached by Al Holzheimer. Al is also the principal over at Lutheran High. We cannot get a starting lineup for Rockford Christian, so we can't give you that. Their head coach is Bill Shepard, and I believe we mentioned this is their first game of the 2005 season. It's also TV8's first game of the season. Kind of tell by the opening. So far in the young history of Lutheran High football, there are only one in three in non-conference games are going to want to get that turned around tonight. I thought you brought up two really good points, Tom. One was the wind and how it could affect the passing game of Lutheran. And then the other thing, again, associated with Lutheran is they got to be able to stop the running game. Well, they're going to stop in the running game, and I think it'll be the big test tonight. That'll be one of the keys to the game to see what they're going to do against Rockford's running game. If Rockford has a running game, because we don't know a lot about Rockford at this point either. Rockford is in Division 1A in Illinois amongst the private schools. They were 4-5 last season. The last time that Sheboygan played in the Out-of-State team was back in 1973 when South defeated Rockford Jefferson 35-7. I think I mentioned this in the opening. This is only the fourth time in the 94-year history of Sheboygan football that they're playing in Out-of-State team. Good condition as we leave tonight. We were watching the teams warm up, Tom. Right now, when you look out on the field and you look at the officials, you can't see your shoes at grass is very long. Very long. I never liked playing on a long grass field. I don't think the teams I coached were always that fast, but that long grass slowed us down some more, Marty. Well, it's definitely going to slow it down on the teams tonight. Yeah, it's very long at this time. But the field looks in great shape and it's a great night for football. This is when, after coaching over 20 years, Marty, this is when I still get the bug to be out there. Well, you still are doing some coaching. You know, we always call Chris Wright the coach because he does baseball for North and, you know, he's done basketball. But you got quite a resume behind you. There isn't much I haven't coached, Marty. Golf? I haven't coached golf. Well, I keep trying to coach you in golf. It hasn't been working, though. Maybe that's why you never call me to go golfing. You're just too frustrated. That's it. No, you golf better than I do, but I'll get you this year. And I know about that. I haven't been golfing very well lately. Captains for Luther and our number 67, Nicholas Carrier, number 22, Benjamin Herbst, number 25. My favorite number, Caleb Davis, and number 10, Tony Holm. One of the captains for Rockford Christian is Mike Gurren-Genty. Looks like number 61 out there are also Ryan Smith, or is that 61? We're 57, I think, is one of the kids, John Lorenz. One thing we could go over, Tom, that I have as the officials for tonight's game. The man in the white hat is Charlie. Don't call me Al, Stark. Charlie and I play football together way back when. Al Severson is one of the officials. Al Denbauer, Mark Wolfel, and Ted Stark. Ted is Charlie's boy. All right. So it's nice to be able to do something with your son. And they're always looking for officials, Marty, in most of the sports nowadays. Basketball, football. I was talking with Steve Schwartz from Manitowoc. He's been an official baseball umpire, really, for going over 30 years now. And he said they're really having a hard time at Manitowoc getting baseball officials. And generally speaking, the WIA struggles a little bit with football. And there's so many football games to do, you know, with freshman football and JVEs and varsity course. So a lot of these guys, they'll be doing games three days a week. They'll be doing as many games as they can handle. I know that for sure because like I said, they're always looking for officials. And I'm glad you recognize them because sometimes they don't get the recognition they deserve. I told them they better call a good game and they'll get recognized a lot. Last week, Williams Bay had a total of 294 yards. You had mentioned about 209 on the ground and they really made hay. But one thing that we failed to mention, even though Lutheran was shot out, it mentioned in the paper that they had two passes in the end zone. Receivers wide open that were dropped. And you know, put those two scores on the ball on the board. Put a little pressure on Williams Bay and it might have been a different ball game. And I was watching Taylor Polth in warm-ups. He looks like a nice young quarterback. They have a lot of sophomores starting tonight, Marty. Young in the line, young at quarterback. And they're back to receive. One player that we should mention that isn't playing this year. He graduated and moved on to play at Val Paraiso as Josh Binsler. Binsler was one of the finer players in the county last year. Set records for passing and was just a great defender. I believe he's playing defensive back at Valpole. And he did lead the county in passing. Yep, oh yeah. Back deep to receive the kick is Caleb Davis, I believe that is number 25. And getting set to kick off is big number 75 Hunter Nelson. Short kick. Taken at about the 16 yard line. Taking it right up the middle. Number 16. Luke Justinger returns the ball for about 18 yards. And the Crusaders will take over. Be first down in 10. At the 34 yard line. Took that ball at the 16. Returned at 18 yards. That was a good return for the first one here tonight, Marty. Well, one thing he did, you know, is he personally caught the ball. Didn't muff it. And then he took it right up the middle and he didn't mess around. I always think it's real important when you catch the ball. I get really mad at my kick returners when they don't catch the ball and let it bounce. Oh boy. First down in 10. Both barking out signals. The two wide receivers. Hand off. And hit and dropped. Ball carrier. Brought down to play by number 7. Tom on the carry. Yep. Give him a gain of 2. It's going to be second down in 8. Ball on the 36. So the first play tonight for Luther was run on the ground. Yep. If you look at the... They're going to be actually playing into the win this quarter. It would be hard to throw the ball down the field. And that could be the reason that the first one was on the ground. Radloff and Davis split out. Nimmer is a tight end. Pitch out. Trying to get around the end and getting around. Slipping by two tacklers. Is Tony Holm. And he gets it up over the 40 yard line. Some nice blocking over the right side of the line. Enabling him to go around end, Marty. Very nice blocking. He did it. Good job of slipping a tackle or two. Holm goes for six yards. It's going to be third down in 2. 43 yards. One thing that the Royal Lions of Rockford Christian didn't do is they missed a couple of wide open tackles. Yes. He slipped right through them. The running back maybe did the job there, Marty. Yep. Got to give him credit. You're right there. Radloff split out. Wide left. Eye formation in the back field for the Crusaders. Hand off. Oh, big gainer. Holm again on the carry. His third straight carry. He goes for the first down. Carries across the midfield strike. First down and ten ball spotted on the 49 yard line of Rockford Christian. Again, very nice job of blocking in the line there. They're taking the... Rockford's playing a 4-4 with that end. Looks like he's either head up the offensive end or inside of him. And they're taking him down and then beating the linebacker to the outside. They did a very nice job. Timeout on the field by Rockford Christian. We'll take a short timeout and be right back. It's coming. There's no escape from the day you retire. And will you be ready financially? Are you ready, dear? You still can be with investments like an IRA or a retirement plan at work. It's never too late. But start now. Because if you wait, you may wind up working forever. Saving for your financial future doesn't have to be a nightmare. Choose to save.

The difference is it's one you can use too. When you log on to MedlinePlus.gov from the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, you're tapping into the largest most comprehensive medical website in the world. MedlinePlus.gov First down in 10 for Lutheran Ball, spotted on the 49-yard line of Rockford Christian. Tony Holm has done all the carrying. Fumble by Poth. He falls on it. Rockford had changed their defense a little bit there. Marty, they're blitzing a couple of the linebackers now trying to stop that run. As we were coming up from doing our opening Tom, we had an opportunity to briefly speak with Scott Poth. I believe that's Taylor's dad. Scott and I played baseball together way back when. And also while you were standing up you saw me talking to that old guy, well that's Hank Poth. That's Taylor's grandpa. Second down in 10 center drops back rolling out right. He's pressured, gets the pass off and it's picked off. Not a good decision there by Taylor. Once he got grabbed on he tried to get rid of it, but 65 Michael Ekstrom intercepted that pass, Marty. We're going to see it right here. Pressure applied by Shields and then you're right. Making the interception was Michael Ekstrom that. Sometimes that's the hard thing with a young quarterback. You got to make sure my teams just run the option and sometimes you toss it or pitch it when you shouldn't. They try to do a little bit more than maybe you should try to. Running back for Rockford Christian picks up pretty good yardage. That was number 40. Gail Sears, I mean Phillip Burton. Good luck bears. Burton picks up six yards on the play. It's going to be second down. We're going to call it second and four. They're playing a half eye, Marty, in the backfield for them. That means we're going to see a lot of power running from them tonight, Marty. A little sweep, but pretty good defense played out there by David Hartman. Vesta on the carry. Excellent pursuit by the Crusader defense coming up and filling and stopping that for a short game. Third and about three. Yeah. Vesta picks up one. 42. Straight drop back. Passes out to an open receiver. Thunberg pass out to Mike. Giren Jetty is incomplete. Giren Jetty was wide open coach. He was. The passes out in front of him a little bit, but they had a good play action pass. I think that helped to open them up. They were still in that power eye, so I still look for them to be trying to do a lot of running tonight, Marty. We'll see. Nobody back, deep, not dropping back. Late is Radloff. Christian punting it away. Kick is away. Radloff makes a catch at about the ten yard line. Slips by one tackler wrapped up by three other Royal Lions. Excellent job though, Marty, of TJ fielding that punt and not letting that bounce toward the the whole line. So he gave them halfway decent field position yet. That was nice catch. First down in ten ball spotted on about the 18 yard line I think it is, Tom. First in ten for Lutheran. He had a little bit of a drive going and Rockford played a little tougher defense, forced him into a passing situation and that's when things went south. And so far Marty, except for that one attempt at pass, Lutheran has been running it on the ground and actually doing a very nice job. Pretty good push out of the front line. Second back through his home. He struggles up to about the 20, maybe two yards on the carry. He's down an eight. Home has carried the ball four times so far for 19 yards. I think that was the first one that they went really straight up the middle otherwise they'd been going off tackler outside the end. Didn't get quite as much there but Rockford's been making adjustments on defense. At the beginning of the game I thought the teams were of equal size but looking at them now, Rockford looks a little bigger than Sheboygan Lutheran. Both dropping straight back. Sidearm wing out to Radloff. He makes a catch. He's at the 45 trying to juke tacklers inside Rockford Territorians. Dropped at about the 42. Excellent pass Marty into the wind. Got it out there for him. It hung up a little bit but Radloff did a nice job of getting back and getting that ball in there. First down and ten you're going to see it here. Look at that. Wheels it as he's dropping back but Radloff was able to get separation. Came back and caught the ball nicely. Nice pass. That goes as a 38 yard gain. Makes it first and ten ball on the 42 of Rockford. High formation second back through his home up the middle. Carries it straight up and we get a late flag thrown. He's stopped at about the 35. Let's see what the flag is all about. I think we got holding on one of the tackles Marty. He had somebody down in the backfield. We can get a replay of that carry. It is holding. It's a very nice gain again by Lutheran. I think they're doing a super job of running the ball Marty. It was a big goal up the middle. Home ran hard once he got the ball. I think we're going to take him back on this one. They aren't going to let him have that kind of a gain. Ball is marched all the way back into Lutheran territory at the 46. It's actually going to be about first in 21 because the ball the penalty goes from the spot of the foul. Both on a pitch out to home trying to get the corner cuts it back and it's dropped at about the 49 yard line. Three yards around the right side. He did a good job of cutting in. He had to cut in and he got a few yards out of it by doing that. I can't believe how far Rockford Safety is playing back Marty. He's way back there. He must be a pretty good athlete that they figure he'll run around and catch the ball when it's in the air. Number four is he might have actually done some special scouting. He'll figure he's going to be throwing the ball all over the lot. Keep one guy back. Last time he started out so far back I thought Lutheran had a punt or something. He's way back there. At least 15 yards. At least 15 yards. Split back field. Fake pitch. Poth keeps it. He's got some room to run. Radeloff missed the block. He went to thrown but did a left but Poth making a good run getting it down to about the 40 yard line. That was an excellent run. Good fake. Everybody from Rockford going the other way and he came out around this end. I'm not even sure that Radeloff knew that Poth was going to be running at. I was watching Radeloff to see if he was going to... Here we're going to see he makes a good fake and then just keeps it and you can see there's nobody there. There's that long grass but up in short grass he had another five yards. At least Marty. Pick up a nine yards on the play. Like you said you cannot see anybody's shoes a little bit different formation here for Luther in the slot. Double slot. Third down and long. Good rush. Pass over the middle to a Radeloff is incomplete. Fourth down. Short crossing pattern to Radeloff coming back across the middle with the three receivers going the other way. He was open just a little bit behind him I think. Fourth down. And Holm is back to punt. Kick is away. Looking for the goal. Not a very good one. One out of bounds before it got to the 20 yard line. It's going to be first down and 10 at the 21. Forget about a 19 yard kick Tom. Not that far but again Marty he was going into the wind. You know sometimes Marty the wind scares you more than and has a worse effect on you. Yeah really. I think that was one of the cases went off the side of his foot thinking about going into the wind. They're in that power eye again Marty. You know up the middle I didn't catch the number of the ball. Fullback straight ahead. Big guy number three. Shields. Game number three with a four yard pickup makes it second down and six. He is a big guy Martin. Number two 15. Second down. Second down at seven. Fake to the first back hands it off to the second back who gets around. The end makes a good move. Nice pickup there by Erica McDuff. Little cross buck action and handing off to the halfback faking to the fullback coming this way and the halfback goes the other way. Nice little gain off tackle. How are they up first down? When you have good play action like that in the backfield going one way and then the other it helps to set up that blocking to Marty. First and 10. That was a 13 yard pickup. Again second back through this time Gern Jetty I believe that was. Nope. McBurton. Number nine maybe. O'Neill. Second and five for the Lions. A senior for Rockford. Five yard pickup makes it second down and five and they're getting out of the hole Tom. They're doing it. They're starting to do a good job with their power eye using their power a little bit. Movement on Rockford. Yep illegal motion. Big number 61. Came out of his stance Ryan Smith and that'll be a five yard penalty. It's like he was blocking down Marty and the play was coming this way. He wanted to make that down blocking. It's going to be second down and 10. Rockford now is starting to use their power eye and going straight ahead behind that big numbers three Samuel Shields. We're still in the first quarter. Bouncing to the outside and picking up pretty good yardage. Looks like there might have been a fumble at the end but Phillip Burton on the carry. Burton gets it out to about the 43 yard line. Burton about three again. Maybe four. Taking the big full back out so maybe we'll see maybe they're going to fool us here and have a pass Marty. Different formation. Trips to this side. Pick up a seven yards here we go. Quarterback draw. Quick snap keeping it and running for the first down was Kent Thunberg. I thought I saw a clip over here Marty but the flag came late. But I think maybe the official saw it also. Looked like a clip over here. The guy tried to avoid it but he pushed him in the back. Al Severson talking to Charlie Stark and we've got a hold called on Rockford Christian. That'll push them back. I wanted to see that play Marty because I really thought they were going to do some kind of quarterback draw. Well that's the first time we saw him in the shotgun and they had trips to this side and a split receiver to the other side. He took it to the short side of the field. It was a bad snap and maybe he was just trying to get what he could. Blew the play apart I think. Another penalty pushes it back to the 37 yard line and now we're going to have 10 or make it 3rd and 9. Trips again to this side. Oh yeah Thunberg takes a snap they're going to run a little bit of option. Thunberg keeps it. He's got good yardage. He's finally dragged down but he's got the first down. He's still on his feet holy cow. I thought they had him down earlier but apparently not. I was hoping they had him stop there right before the yard marker but he pushed his way past that and then got a couple more yards and was very tough to bring down. Excellent job of running. First down ball spotted on the 49 yard line that's a pick up of 12 yards by Thunberg. Very interesting play out of the trips option the other way away from the trips. Well and that's a good strategy get the defense looking one way and get the other. Plus he had the back if he wanted to pitch it out. Yep and figuring with the trips they had him outnumbered. First back through is the full back. He barrels for good yardage. Samuel Shields 215 pound senior rumbles down into Lutheran territory at the 37 yard line 14 yard pick up. We've had a few mistakes here that have held the teams back a little bit but Rockford starting to get a little bit going with their power eye. And as I say that they're going to come out in trips again. Trips right. So third time they've run that and the quarterback Thunberg is in the shotgun dropping back rifles it out. He's got his receiver open makes a good move but a good tackle made out there by Sheboygan Lutherans. Was that 15? Number 15 Luke making the fine tackle hanging on. Excellent job of hanging on to those shoestrings and bringing him down Marty. I thought he was away but he hung on. That was a tough play. He was out there all by himself and he hung on and made the tackle. Pick up a seven on play. Second down and three actually there's a pickup an eighth on that play. Ball is spotted on the 29 yard line. Hand off to the big full back Shields and he rumbles down inside the 10 yard line. Well he's a load when he gets going. Right now Rockford's got it going for him. They've started out in that power eye and started going straight ahead on the crusaders and they nice job and he's tough to bring he's a big boy Marty. They got the ball down at about the 14 yard line I believe it is Tom. That was a pickup of 15 yards and they're getting yardage in big chunks all of a sudden. They've done a nice job of going from the power eye to trips and then with the trips they did an option to the weak side of the trips and they did a pass to the strong side to the trip side and then they got in that trip's formation and gave it to the big full back straight ahead after they spread the defense out. They had the defense looking wide to the weak side of the trip side and then went straight ahead with their big full back and he got nice yardage on that. They've got they've got Luther on their heels that's for sure on this drive. They started back on their 21 they're down to the 14 yard line and the last couple of plays have gone 15, 8, 14 and 12 so they've been ripping off big yardage. They've been picking it up in chunks and earlier in the drive they had a 13 yarder. Again they have trips off to the right wide receiver to the left toonberg in the shotgun I can key the full back right that guy and whistles blow illegal motion on Christian and they've been their own worst enemy on this drive this will be the second third penalty on them. Maybe one of these penalties will help Luther and be able to stop him here and get the ball back. Take advantage of one of those penalties if that big guy is in the back field when they're on trips I just watch the big guy moves the ball back to the 19 yard line it's going to be first and 15 Toonberg at quarterback he's been there all all night we're still winding down under a minute left in the first quarter we're back to the powerhouse backfield Marty power eye Toonberg gives it to the second back through looking for block and he's got good blocking up in front he squirts through the line and he's into the end zone touchdown on the carry Erica Mcduff Mcduffa pardon me and he runs at 19 yards for the score that was too easy coach yep he came right through there I thought maybe young man from Luther and I'm not sure what number that was it might have been number 24 one defender over pursued just a little bit wanted to cut the angle but went a little too fast and then couldn't catch him from behind yep got himself out of position in the kick is Joshua Smith see Sheboygan south on this formation on their extra points quite often snap is down and the kick is up and it's through the uprights it's good with 47 seconds remaining in the first quarter Rockford Christian leads it 7-0 life so good call 1-800-432-TRIP or visit travelwisconsin.com back at south high school we're the homeless Sheboygan Christian Sheboygan Lutheran Crusaders pardon me are trailing Rockford Christian 7-0 I believe that throughout the course of the season Lutheran will be playing several games here at north last year they played several games out in Howard's Grove plans are in the works for a football field that's a good thing a few thousand dollars down the road costs a lot of money to come up with a facility like this doesn't just a football field just the field we're not even talking bleachers or nice stances yeah really but it's a beautiful night for a football game I love this Marty another short kick picked up at the 25 yard line and hammer down at about the 38 or 39 yard line is the ball carrier for Lutheran I believe that was number 24 John Lopren with 41 seconds left it'll be interesting to see Lutheran should be able to get the wind in this possession Marty and if they go to the passing game when they turn around and get the wind at the back it might be good to run a first down running play just to get the clock run out let's see what they do here pull it on the handoff to home and he's hit in the back field actually there's a lot of penetration on that penetration I always used to tell my line penetration kills you can't have that makes the running back go wider the guy that penetrates may not make the tackle but it gives everybody else a chance to come up and make the tackle clock is running we're at 8 7 they might want to let the clock run out I would both not aware of that runs a play quick out to Radloff he's got the catch slips one tackler picks up a nice block and he's out over 5 and is knocked out of bounds for our Luther in first down well that was a super block Marty and I'm sorry to say I didn't catch the number of that guy I'd like to mention his name we've got an replay here I believe it's number 53 see if we can catch it 53 that was and when you know it he's one of the guys that doesn't have a number on our program Matt Recep one of the senior linemen excellent job down field of picking up that block enabling them to go for that first down 14 yard pickup makes it first down and 10 at the 46 yard line end of the quarter teams are switching sides with that we'll take a short break and be right back with further action in tonight's game 46 yard line pull-thunder center home is a deep back gives it off to him he's got some room up the middle picks up maybe three or four yards drop that about 49 20 home on carry second down and seven they've been doing a fairly decent job Marty I think of running the ball on the ground so far tonight they've hurt themselves a couple of times with penalties but Luther has done a good job of running the ball second down for the crusaders they trail at seven pull-thunder keeper trying to get around the corner he's being pursued he's going to get the oh good block slips by one tackler and he's hit and dropped in Rockford Christian territory at about the 44 yard line it's going to be close to a first down number 25 Caleb Davis laid that block Marty super job enabling you're going to be able to see it here he has a blindside shot good hit I like that I like that good job first down and 10 for Sheboygan spot the ball on the 44 yard line seven yard pickup for Taylor pull-th looks like they might be blitz and Marty will see perps the up back he gets the carry that's his first carry the night coach and hit actually probably a footer so behind the line a scrimmage will tack at Carlita no gainer but not much blocking for him well the first play that he gets the ball he went into the blitzing linebacker oops that didn't work so good that didn't work at least the linebacker was coming from that side maybe to tackle somebody came down and got him but they were blitzing on that side second down and Carlit 10 it's a long 10 that's for sure jumping at the line by Rockford Christian passes battered up in the air Radliffe actually makes the catch it would have been better off to knock it down he's going to have the reception but it's going to be for minus yardage yeah I think he might have been better off knocking it down but I was really happy to see him come back and make a play on the ball and keep it out of the hands of Rockford that could have very easily already been an interception I'm going to give him minus three on that on that reception that'll make it third down and 13 I think the minus three martyr is still better than an interception at this point for sure can't argue with that both going straight back not much of a rush going deep to Radliffe and way out of his reach a little bit of a misread pass goes in complete that'll make it fourth down in about 13 TJ Wildloft was just getting behind him too pass has been over a little bit that might have been a touchdown for Luther I think now with the wind at their back we'll see Luther come out and maybe do a little bit more passing McDuffa back deep Holmes kick is away a little better kick this time McDuffa makes a catch inside the 20 yard line had about the 16 nice job with the punt Marty getting good help from the wind but you know you can't get good help with the wind unless you get it up in the wind good point there first time Rockford punted it was a line drive so they didn't have the benefit of the wind first down in 10 for Rockford they're going to take over on the 16 yard line last time they got it Tom they marched 79 yards for a score let's see if Luther can stop them right here and get the ball back first back through second back through they take me out I thought Shields had the ball not much of a gain there by number 24 Erika McDuff and number 30 Joshua Nimmer was in on that tackle to Marty they did a good job of stacking that up taking out the big guy we'll see what they do with the ball this time they're going to go to their trips and do some sort of option second down in 9 two wide receivers off to the left they have one split out to the right they have a slot on both sides shotgun and one guy behind the quarterback a lot going on for a screen rolling now he's going to keep it and he's hit and dropped tackle made out there by Zach Vanderpij super tackle out there on Vanderpij on the quarterback in wide open territory see Vanderpij drifting out from his tackle position there you see him number 72 he's the one that's going to eventually make the stop he did a super job Marty pursuing that play staying with it never giving up on it and he came out and got the quarterback I was surprised because it looked like he was trailing it but he came right up there and made the tackle very good pursuit that time by Zach 8 in the third down stand deep pass and we have contact trying to make a cut for the ball was the receiver Sean O'Neill and getting in his way was a defensive back number 25 Caleb Davis and that's going to go against the defense that's what happens when you don't see the ball though yeah if you don't see the ball and I'm not sure how he interfered other than he got in the way he actually he slept and stood right there and the guy ran into him I think if he hadn't slipped it may not have been he could have just been standing there well I believe the pass interference is 15 yards like it is in college I think right it's not a spot fall right Ryan Andrews on the field camera Andy McKillip behind that camera right there Kerry Kaltzer in the truck spinning the dials I'm Mike Martin along with the coach Tom Burr now what are some of those teams you coached basketball, football football is your big one right wrestling track softball softball I never coach golf don't mind oops, I had a problem here Houston we've got a problem lost our monitor but we don't need that to make our mulls go it's first down at 10 all spotted on the 32 yard line inside hand off good tackle made made by a couple of crusaders Maldonado being one of them and Vanderpij was in on that again nice job Vanderpij got good penetration and caught the big guy right at the knees and he's getting help off the field second down and 12 we're going to give 12, 12 sounds good Marty second down at 12 they're in that trips formation again well they've been able to push them back but they haven't been able to stop them good run that time by number 24 Erica McDuffa picks up big yardage third down pick up the eight yards on that carry by McDuffa third and about just about three Marty and yeah you're right he's up a little bit farther we'll give him nine yards on the pickup he'll like that better anyway if it were my statistics I want you to bat him you need all the help you can get Tom third down at three another big third down play for Luther pass interference penalties helped Rockford Christian and Thunberg helps his team with a nice run up to the 45 yard line Thunberg running the option and kept it again goes for a first and 10 right now they have Luther a little bit confused with their spread formation they're spreading them out and then they're taking advantage of what they see they can get clock running we're at six minutes remaining until half time Luther trails at seven to nothing Rockford Christian scored back in the first quarter on a 19 yard run by Erica McDuffa found an opening and squirted right through it on a nice run Thunberg in the shotgun again illegal procedure delay a game on the Royal Lions for Rockford Christian it's going to make it first down in 15 ball spotted at the 40 yard line I don't know what happened here Tom we lost our monitor pulled out the wrong plug Marty I didn't pull out any plugs actually what I tried to do is not touch too much of this stuff because I'm not very good at it snap back to Thunberg fires on up the middle right through the hands of the intended receiver Shane Yosi nice pass Marty right in his hands I think their quarterback throws a fairly nice decent pass well he's a big kid he's a load just like well Shields is a big load they're full back number three second down in 15 clock has stopped we're at 5.13 now until half time second down in 15 Thunberg in the back field Shields back in the game Marty was hurting a little bit before I was thinking that Shields next to him right now yep the ring has a blocking back pass up the middle a little bit low you're in genti but he can't make the catch that's going to make another third down in long play let's see if crusaders can stop them it's going to be a good time to stop them make them punt into the wind get the ball back 508 left in the half Marty and see if they can get something going and tie this ball game well Tom you blitz on this player do you play it more straight up being the aggressive coach I am coming at you Marty well only one wide receiver that's off to the right they have a full house back field now we get Thunberg calling a timeout he didn't like what he saw from the Lutheran defense they actually it wasn't a Lutheran defense they were one man shorter on offense that's why they only had one wide receiver that's right I thought it was a new formation and it was we can't see if we're going to a break but maybe we ought to keep it right here talk a little bit about what's coming up on TV8 our next broadcast is going to be this week when Slinger invades Sheboygan in their first home game that will be a 7 o'clock kickoff as is generally the case Tom we replay these games the night of the game and tonight we'll see this game at 1030 we'll also have the coaches show on before that and I think on Friday night fans will be able to watch that game at about 1030 and they might rerun the coaches show again prior to that you see Brian Andrews has us on camera good shot Brian best one all night we're ready to start action again it's third down and 15 ball on about the 40 yard line now they got that second wide receiver second back through McDuffa trying to get the corner he does but he's going to be far short of the first down gets it out to about the 47 yard line give McGain a 7 Lutheran defense did a good job of stringing it out and not allowing them to get the first down let's see what they do here about 7 yards ago I would think they got a punt and punt into the wind Marty I would think so dropping back for the Lutheran Crusaders is T.J. Radloff Hunter Nelson big number 75 does the kickoffs also is back to punt better get up on a line of scrimmage bad snap Lutheran had a chance at it but they couldn't get to it Radloff lets it bounce good decision on his part and it stops dead on about the 29 yard line and that's where she'll begin Lutheran will take over I thought Lutheran was going to get that one Marty with the bad snap and all the ball rolling around they definitely had a shot at it not a very good punt either maybe about 22 yards or so but the big guy did a good job he picked the ball up and got it off didn't he yep actually goes as a 24 yard punt we're in second quarter action 406 remaining Taylor Polth under center he is home and Herbst behind him screen back picked off by Tony Holm he's got some room to run he's passed most of the defense Thunberg the quarterback for Rockford Christian knocks Holm out of bounds you know I thought that ball bounced but I think it might have been a backward lateral that's what I'm wondering that's exactly what I was going to say Marty it looked like the ball went backwards Tony Holm did a good job of picking that ball up and the blocking was set up nice job by the Lyman they had three Lyman out there blocking for him I think if the ball were right on he might have gone all the way you could have gotten quicker to the corner I'm going to give him a run on that I'm not sure what it was but it was whatever it was it went for 26 yards Lutheran in business Polth straight back he's got room to lost it out trying to make the shoestring catch or the over the shoulder catch rather was Caleb Davis but he was unable to get to it it's going to be second down in 10 a little bit of pressure on the quarterback that time forced him to throw it a little bit before he wanted to second in 10 in the ball on the 45 Holm in motion this time Polth short pass complete I didn't really get the first down but not quite getting there was Joshua Nimmer Nimmer coming underneath on a well designed play Tom I thought it was an excellent design play I hate to say it but I was thinking the same same as you were smart people think the same way both receivers two receivers coming underneath both wide open could have gone to either one of them there you can see it comes underneath you good tackle made by the Rockford player to stop Lutheran from getting the first down it's a third down in one Polth barking out the signals he drops back, fakes he's rushed hard gets the pass away but it's a lame duck and it's going to be intercepted and I think that's intercepted by number five Jan Goudair and again not a good decision by Taylor Polth no it was rushed and just put the ball up in the air for grabs the closest there were about three from Rockford that were a lot closer than anybody from Lutheran on that play Marty it's going to be first down in ten for Rockford the ball is spotted on about the 30 yard line we'll call it the 29 Rockford Christian comes to the line of scrimmage they have wide receivers left and right three players in the backfield first back through is going to be shields but he fumbled it Rockford Christian gets it back but they're going to lose the yardage on the play it looked like shields ran into the quarterback and forced that fumble I don't know if he's supposed to get the ball or not but forced that fumble about 235 left Marty maybe we can get a stop here before half can get the ball back once more for Lutheran the ball is spotted was spotted on the 29 it's now spotted on the 26 second down in 13 Toonberg pitches it out to McDuffa who's got room to run and he gets up to the 35 before he's stopped Rockford does a nice job with on that pitch we've got three people out there in that trips and they come they have some nice back blocks on the people trying to get out there and make the tackle it's going to be third down nice pickup that time by McDuffa excuse me Marty looks like there might be a penalty on the play I don't see it there's a flag on the field back inside the 30 yard line and it's going to go on Rockford Christian holding that'll wipe out the nice gain by McDuffa all the way back to about the 19 Marty yep you're right 19 yard line 211 to go 20 yards second down in 20 ball spotted on the 19 McDuffa trying to get to the outside he's got good speed and he's hit and dropped good tackle made by Caleb Davis he's got a good lick on McDuffa I like how the Lutheran pursuers Marty they have a lot of good pursuit going out there and they helped each other out and got him down and really strung it out to the sideline would look like he ran a lot he did run a lot of yards Marty but he only got about a half yard it looks like we're going to matter of fact an official sheet right here in front of me is going to be zero all right because you haven't gotten into fractions yet right no we just started the school year we haven't gotten that far yet that'll come in November I think they start fractions and then they work on that the rest of the year all right they still don't understand trips again Toonberg making a good stop on that low snap lost the pass out and it's short incomplete the intended receiver was Conrad Bognabee great pressure that time by by Lutheran maybe 24 was in there let's see we have 157 remaining Rockford Christian will be punting and Lutheran will have a shot at it it's fourth down and 20 all spotted on about the 19 on the last time they punted the punter got a real poor snap but was able to just get it off Hunter Nelson was the punter we have a time out on Rockford Christian we'll take a short break and be right back for me it's giving the best of myself for me it's the professional team environment and the mutual respect that I share with my colleagues for me it's providing my patients with the best and safest care possible for me it's having the latest in health care technologies and the privilege of providing the best health care to America's veterans we are the nurses of VA vacareers.com a career in caring oh well back to action here at south high school Sheboygan Lutheran trailing Rockford Christian by a score of 7-0 Erica McDuffa scoring Rockford's only touched on on a real nice 19 yard run and then Nelson booted the extra point and that made it 7-0 Radloff's been pretty sharp in the back taking these punts and he's played it pretty smart good snap this time Nelson's kick is away Radloff will be able to field and he does at the 47 yard line and then he steps out of bounds at about the 37 so give him about a 10 yard gain on a return done a good job Marty all night of feeling those kickoffs and punts well you can see why he's their top receiver he handles the ball real well he's got the hands he does let's see what Lutheran does in the last about 2 minutes Taylor Poleth under center he's got Herbst and Holm behind him second back through his home he's got an opening up the middle but a nice tackle made by Rockford Christians Michael Ekstrom otherwise Holm would have gone for a much larger chunk yardage as it is he picks up about 4 or 5 it's a nice job of running the ball and catching the ball in that long pass play or bounce pass play whatever that was he did a nice job maybe we can get a look at that at half time Kerry and see what really did happen if it did bounce or if you made a shoestring catch Poleth makes a nice catch makes a nice pass and the catch is made by T.J. Radloff and when you watch him pass Taylor Poleth seems like he's always backing up he's throwing the ball instead of really stepping into his throw but he's getting the job done that was a very nice pass right on the money let him right there first down in 10 the ball is spotted on the 20 yard line we have a time out there you see another saving tackle by Rockford Christian otherwise this game would be tied it was a 12 yard pickup I think those short passes are a little bit better for Luther I'm not sure how much time he's got back there it seemed when they tried to pass it a little bit longer Marty hasn't had the time it does seem like Luther has trouble handling the Blitz because they've come right through with those couple of times and they've got I think they're in an even 4-4 defense so they've got four different linebackers that could be coming from four different spots exactly you've got to have some linemen that are pretty sharp to be able to pick that up and if they're not you're hurting they're playing their safety so deep I think that makes it a little harder to go deep on them too we're ready to go 112 is left Marty good point and the wind is blowing to the south so Taylor Poth does have the wind at his back if he wants to go deep rolling under pressure laughs the pass right through the hands of the receiver Caleb Davis but give some credit to that Rockford defender because he got a hand up in front of his face he may have even touched it a little bit Marty he was right there too there is one if he gets a little more distance in that throw the receiver may have been able to catch you without quite so much interference from the defense Lutheran receiver did a good job of getting behind him you see it stepped into that throw a little bit better I thought back to live action Poth under center Herbston Holmes home behind him dropping back at the quarterback draw but Steven Shields the big fullback playing linebacker reacted to the play real good and Poth has dragged down after a short game and gave him a three on the play number three Shields was the only player there for Rockford that would have gone a long ways if he hadn't made the saving tackle Marty let's see Shields actually is playing a defensive end now so it was a real fine play by him third down at seven Poth looking got nice catch by Radelove one hander Tom dropped it inside the ten yard line one hander behind him and it's a first down Marty 23 seconds left and he calls a time out for Lutheran Radelove with a great catch you're going to take a look at it right here passes a little bit behind him but he gathers it right in wow super job don't seem any better than that that's for sure it's going to be first and goal ball is spotted at about the six yard line or is that the seven about the seven I think Marty okay so we'll give that play a ten yard pickup it was a third and seven they picked up ten well they only have 23 seconds left you'd think they'd be going to the air I would think Marty that they're almost going to have to go to the air might try a screen pass they had a very nice screen pass before I was just thinking that don't they usually say because you don't have a lot of field to work with the defense really doesn't drop very far back so you can't you know what I'm saying it's true Marty but what happens is you do have you might end up with more people to block the defense that's left because you're letting people through and then your linemen are left and you might have five linemen on three backs I like that little drag play to the tight end again they did that very nicely before Marty well Taylor Puth is going to go under center as he has most of the night Radloff is split off wide to the left Davis off to the right Nimmerer there's a tight end on the right side going to the corner Radloff there he makes a catch touchdown what a grab I know you can't really see through his face mask but when you look at him making a catch it looks like his eyes are just focused on that football and the young quarterback Taylor Puth did an excellent job put that right on the money that was a timing play Marty that ball was in the air before the receiver was looking excellent job you get another look at it just a couple steps and he threw it right away and laid it up in a good spot quarterback did an excellent job put it right over the defense right out there the kick is up and good Jeremy Klein I believe that was kick the extra point or no Matt Holler kicking the extra point and that ties the score with only 16 seconds remaining excellent pass Marty that throw to the corner by the young quarterback good reception, good receiver that's almost impossible to defend too I mean once you're on the inside shoulder that receiver it is virtually impossible to defend and the quarterback had the ball in the air before the receiver had turned around to look for the ball it was on its way great timing play all our first points of the year for Luther ties up the score I generally think this way Tom the game of football is so dependent on having a strong defense and Luther has risen to the occasion other than that one drive when Rockford really pushed it right down the field and if I remember right there were some penalties on that drive that hurt them well actually you know the penalties were not Rockford and they were able to overcome them there were I think two of them on that drive that they got and they did rip off chunks of yardage but Luther has done better since that drive off by Klein he's back to about the 15 yard line wrestling him down big number 72 Vanderpij Vanderpij has done a super job here tonight he's having fun he took out the blocker and he got the kick receiver they're going to take a look at it again good catch in return but Vanderpij says not in my house or should I say on the south side that was excellent 10 seconds remain until half time took the blocker was there a blocker yes there was a blocker he took everybody down it didn't matter he would have taken his own teammate down along with him getting into position as Sean O'Neill Thunberg makes a good catch throwing deep Davis right there taps it away also in position to make the interception was Tony Holm now we have 5 seconds remaining on that pass in completion good job by Luther and lots of people back there to defend that pass not give him anything here before half time second down in 10 back deep in safety position is Radloff and Holm didn't want to let anyone get behind him three wide receivers trips as Tom likes to call it off to the right Thunberg and the shotgun again quick out Erica McDuffa makes a catch and he picks up good yardage before he's finally thrown down and that's the half we're at half time here at Salt High where Sheboygan Lutheran is tied with Rockford Christian 7-7 do you know how many kids are risking their health by eating unhealthy foods stuffing themselves and not getting any exercise thank goodness you got here just in time where's the problem in there here try this the original fast food doctors know that our children need a diet rich vegetables, high fiber

kids stay in school and prepare for life we're going to learn applications on the site baby this calls for a celebration we're obsessed with getting you government information what are those government surplus cars for auction you posted those online last time some half time stats totally yardage for Rockford Christian they had 166 yards but we mentioned at the beginning of the show time that it was important to be able to stop the run of that 166 142 are on the ground even though Lutheran played pretty good defense they still need to pick it up a little bit on the flip side Lutheran had 127 yards the total offense 87 of those were through the air Taylor Polth was 7 of 13 with two interceptions his big receiver was a T.J. Radloff Radloff had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 those catches for 78 yards the big one was the first one a 38 yarder and you notice something before we came on the air where we're both touchdown scored going with the wind both touchdowns were scored going to our right with the wind which is interesting with Rockford having a lot of those grounds on the yard yards on the ground Marty well it doesn't look like one team or the other deferred to the second half of course if you're Lutheran you'd probably want to take it in the second half so you don't think they want it anyway kickoff is going to be by Matt Holler, Holler kicked that extra point there's Tommy Rush, my brother in law and Todd Decker behind him the big guy kickoff taken by McDuffa little juke move and then he's going to be hit and dropped outside the 35 at about the 36 good job by the Lutheran kickoff team getting down there and stopping him and making the tackle gang tackle Ball is going to be spotted at the 37 yard line it's going to be first and 10 the last couple of possessions by Rockford Christian Lutheran kept them in some unfavorable down in distance and forced them to throw the ball maybe a little more than they wanted to Thunberg in that first half Tom was only two for seven for 24 yards and the last pass was for 16 let's hope that Lutheran can keep them down here now and take advantage of the wind and get the ball back first back through his shields and the shields was the leading rusher in the first half with 54 yards you can tack on about eight more on that carry they get second and two tackled by number 10 Tony Holm he looks to be hurting a little bit after that tackle we're going to give him pick up a nine first back through again his shields and he takes it up over the 40 and they probably had their most success in the first half when he was seeing the ball a lot and that's what they're doing right here they're doing a no huddle Marty they're going right away ball is spotted at the 41 yard line whoa good tackle made right in the middle of the line Vanderpij in there along with Matthew Riesop two of the seniors I believe for Lutheran I think they're both seniors Marty that was a good stop that's what they need to do more of second down and 11 while shields busts off tackle dragging a defender from Lutheran up to the 50 yard line before he's finally wrestled down he's going to be a little bit short of the first down but good pickup that time it seemed to be pounding the big guy inside Marty now just to see what they can get I like the different things they've done they've used different formations and in the start of the second half now they're using a quicker tempo and using a different tempo than they did in the first half third down and one Thunberg on the keeper he cuts it back eludes one tackler he's going to pick up big yardage he's going to be inside the 40 down near the 35 wow pursuit wasn't quite there for Lutheran like it's been and it wasn't several plays in the first half well I think the pace looks like it might be an option I'm not sure while shields through a pretty nice block and he gets another one too first down and 10 shields first back through he's hit at the line of scrimmage and driven down good defensive play by Lutheran trying to get the number 88 David Hartman and Vanderpij again Vanderpij is having a real nice game tonight defensively that long gainer by Kent Thunberg was a 15 yarder they're running the same play to this side pretty good penetration though by Lutheran and home wrestles them down had about the 36 for a loss good shot at Tony Holm I'm the man there was a good shot on the play and again Lutheran was back to the good pursuit I thought they've had pretty good pursuit all night just that one play to the other side but the other you're right they've done really good big third down play here though big third down play they've been running everyone let's see if they go to the air or even in in a different formation they're in their power eye Jaren Getty is wide to the right they've looked to him several times and it is to him and it's intercepted by Holm he's up to the 35-40 45-50 down to the 40 and he steps out of bounds he's going to be at about the 44 yard lines at Holm or Taylor Poth Taylor Poth you're right little hard to see sometimes with the shadowing of the numbers but you're right Taylor Poth on the good reception interception you're going to see it here it gets tipped and then he picks it off he was right over the back of the receiver to get that after the tip making the tip was number 22 Herbst and Herbst gets a good block good block down field on that also super play for Luther first down in 10 they have the ball spotted at the 44 yard line with a chance to take the lead Holm and Herbst in the back if you get a whistle as the ball is snapped most likely some kind of motion are offside there Marty I heard through the grapevine there is no offside this year it's always illegal motion unless Marty is on the defense but then it's encroachment let me see I'm going to go up to your official sheet so I can officially know what the answer is I'm going to look it up right now 39 yard line first down in 5 NCAA it's offside Marty encroachment otherwise two wide receivers left and right Holm is alone setback behind Poth and he fumbles the snap and he falls down let's see if he's got it they're still scrambling for it and Rockford Christian has it oh my boy they had great field position good down in distance and they fumbled the ball away that's a big play there first down in 10 for Rockford Christian defense is going to have to do it defense is going to have to get back up there sometimes it's hard when you get the momentum going your way and then all of a sudden give it right back they've done a nice job get a whistle on the field stopping action want to remind our viewers our next broadcast for TV 8 is going to be on Friday when slinger coached by former Sheboyganite Fred Spath invades Sheboygan they'll be playing right here at South against Sheboygan South South and North both had a rocky start last week but according to Dave Pfeiffer he's not as worried as some people might think they ran into a real good team in that first game Hartford I think has a pretty good program Marty and I'm sure they have a good team I did, I saw that north game and I saw some good things from them on offense I think some things for them to build on and they're in a new system and it takes a little while sometimes when you get in a new system to get it going you definitely have to think they're going to be playing at least more comfortable with their plays and with the defense and that as the season rolls along and I don't remember you probably would remember better than I I don't remember a north team in recent memory that's played a 4-4 defense at least not as their base defense No I can't remember that for quite a while and you've been there and I've been there although you know I probably did it on the day Say something about being 60 pretty soon next month we're almost there we're almost there last year teaching last year teaching well last year working as a full-time teacher yes we're kind of always teachers that's true I'll try to teach you out on the golf course yeah right, trying to school me again you and Mr. John VanVeigel that's my goal I was talking with big John Cinellis and I said John I said jeez I heard you're pretty good golfer because he's really good in a lot of different sports and yeah had a 34 on the third nine at Tonic Country and I took a double bogey on the Power 5 I couldn't find my ball snap shields trying to get to the outside he cuts it up off tackle before he's wrestled down over the 45 yard line oh he's a lord he's a big guy nice job by David Harpman from Luther to turn that turn that in he just needed help to come from the inside to make the tackle came but a little bit late not until after gain of about seven we have trips again Marty for those of you out there that three wide receivers on one side Toonberg fakes one way flips it out to McDuffa he loses the ball but it's recovered by a teammate 57 making recovery John Lorenz by Andrew Grunwald turning that play in and stopping it before and then he got help loss of four on the play if it's on Rockford Christian Sheboygan might want to decline the penalty see Al Holzheimer head coach and principal over at Sheboygan Lutheran holding it could be third nine or second in a on a bunch not that much the holdings back up here at the line of scrimmage so not gonna gain that much from it looks like they're gonna take her back though Marty well they're gonna market from the 46 yard line back and it's going to be spotted at the 36 so no gain or pardon me no play penalty was on Rockford Christian and that's gonna keep it at second down and let's make it second in 15 ball is spotted on the 36 quick out to McDuffa trying to get to the outside he does but he's taken out of bounds by a couple of Lutheran tacklers only the third reception or pardon me third completion by Thunberg and two of them have been that same play to one of the trips that are out there pick up of eight on the play third and seven or eight they're in that power eye formation again fake to the first back trying to get to the outside is Thunberg he does throwing on the run a difficult pass and it over he overshot the receiver shields but it showed pretty good quickness Tom to get to the outside he did he got to the outside which a lot of times ends up being a bad thing for the other team but Lutheran always they seem to keep coming tonight which I think is a good thing for them and made him throw off balance so he couldn't complete the pass they had a couple of guys deep wide open but there's no way on the run like that throwing back right made that play if he was a left-hander like he should be would have been a much easier play left-handing is only good in golf Marty great thought you weren't any good in golf maybe that's your problem you should be golfing right-handed I tried that two years kick away by Nelson Radloff has and he's hit immediately ball is going to be spotted at about the 37 yard line Lutheran is going to have it back with we have 731 remaining in the third quarter the score is 7 to 7 we probably should be mentioning that a little more often that's Tom Burr in the yellow shirt with the glasses and I'm Mike Martin in the red shirt with the glasses and the gray hair of course gray hair is better than no hair on Tom yeah I'm like I'm only gray on the sides well I guess that's a good thing deep to safety plays yeah he's a good 15 16 yards back a little flip out to the side and making the reception was home but he's going to be hit for a big loss super play I'm trying to get the number of that guy number three of course Samuel Shields the big guy yeah he's a load I look like a backward pass to Marty yeah we're going to give him a loss of 10 on the reception that hurts your passing yardage oh boy second down in 20 ball spotted on the 27 yard line pull it under center comes to Blitz they're coming at him they're going to get him and he tries to flip it away and almost threw it into the arms what is that number 29 I believe that was or 28 John McClintock but a little bit low but dangerous pass dangerous pass got to be that's the hardest thing I think when you're young quarterback is you never you want to do your best and you want to not give up the big play sometimes you just try too hard and you get rid of the ball to the wrong people yeah third in a long ways Marty only color calling that a sack ball is spotted on about the 14 yard line 13 yard loss and we get a whistle actually didn't even see the play was sacked again back inside the 10 at the 9 yard line or 8 yard line that's two plays in a row Marty that they brought everybody they're challenging Luther now okay you're going to you got a long ways to go you're going to throw a long pass you're going to have to contain our Blitz and so far Luther hasn't you know they really went backwards on that particular possession and it looks like they may be coming on this kickoff 10 on a reception 14 and a loss of 6 on two sacks McDuffa off the catch but got the ball back but they're going to be in great field position inside the 40 yard line of Sheboygan Luther when they're marching backwards just isn't good now they're giving good field position and they started off at the 37 Tom really that's not too bad a field position to start an offensive drive and shoot they're giving the ball back for that the 37 or 38 doesn't matter it's pretty dug on deep yeah it was approximately where Luther and started Thunberg hands it off to number 40 Phillip Burton Burton hasn't seen a lot of carries tonight he had two carries in the first half for 13 yards this is his first carry of the second half picks up about three yards they're still they're huddling up now but they're still moving at a pretty good tempo here Marty I look for him to give it to the big guy again yeah gained a lot of yards with him McDuffa has it on the sweep left trying to cut it back pretty good pursuit though making the stop for Luther was Jeremy Klein McDuffa picking up a good yardage on the play however gave him a gain of seven close to a first down yep it's going to be third down actually less than one ball spotted just outside just inside the 30 yard line they didn't give the ball to the big guy that time but he was blocking all the way for that play he makes an impact whether he has the ball in his arms or not and he's been right up the middle time picks up a good quick five or six yards no stopping them there he's quick to the hall Marty for a big guy like that he's quick to the hall did a good job of lowering his head and getting some good yardage ball is spotted at the 14 yard line time for Luther to step up here and let's stop him second back a little burden on the carry he picks up big yardage he's got a first down he's going to be hit and dropped inside the 10 oh boy he can tell Burton wants to carry the ball more he's running hard that was a very nice run good blocking again in front of him by Sam Shields number three the full back good blocking at the point of the attack because the full back came through there didn't have to touch anybody until he got to the linebackers Burton again on the carry slips through the hole and scores a touchdown while they got in a good field position Tom and March right down the field all runs all runs 38 yards in 1 2 3 4 5 plays you're going to see it good blocking right up the middle and Burton makes a tackle miss right there and slips through I hate to mention his name again but Sam Shields laid a nice block at the point of attack to let them go through there practically untouched Marty swinging gate swinging gate see it swinging see it going over there now Rockford Christian is set the placement the boot is up and good Joshua Smith kicks it with 351 remaining in the third quarter Rockford Christian leads it 14-7 let me see Marty 14-7 351 to go that's the first touch and we've had to the north end zone against the wind and that flag still is straight up wind blowing from north to south but when you run the ball doesn't make too much difference when you run the ball like that Marty sad news here for yeah only 351 with the wind it was the wind Marty but they should get good field position a very short kick and good decision by that Luther Deep person Radloff to just get on the ball and keep possession they'll have it at about the 30 yard line first and 10 for a minute it looked like nobody wanted the ball and nobody else was going to fall on it I'm glad that he did he's made some good decisions back there all night nice job fielding punts and kickoffs ball is spotted right on the 30 yard line let's see if Luther can get something started here in the third quarter they have the wind at their back sometimes though they've had a couple of nice running plays once in a while sometimes that works here disadvantage thinking you have to use the wind right when you got it right away both back fires the pass but it's over the head of the intended receiver Davis that time he was on his back almost right away marty it's hard to throw the ball when you're on your back that's for sure defensive people were in there right away got some passes incomplete makes it second down and 10 ball on the 30 344 after that incompletion we got wide receiver two wide receivers left and right home a bad snap and both asked to fall on it for another loss back to the 25 wow the snap almost went directly back to the running back not to the quarterback that's why that was a bad snap marty yeah well anytime you run that they didn't run much shotgun in the first half but anytime you do that that puts a lot of pressure on your center and you know if you're a tough defensive player and you hammer on that guy you know it gives something to think about well something else I just thought of marty is sometimes when you're doing that long snap the wind has an effect on that also and I'm wondering if on that play it didn't push it a little bit to the side or keep it from going back like the center wanted it to well both is under center this time it's third down and 15 and Rockford Christian right through there and both never got the ball no it looked like it didn't bounce and I'm not sure Lutheran did because Lutheran was standing there and Rockford took off well another loss on the play of about two or three yards make it three and I would think that the ball was snapped on that marty because we did not have a penalty no you're right so the center and Rockford went on with the ball back deep is McDuffa he's stationed at about the 35 yard line there you get a great shot of Erika and flags on the play stops action linesman so it's either that motion or encroachment or maybe not enough men on the line of scrimmage offside on the defense but it's not going to make much difference because Lutheran is almost 16, 17, 18 yards away from getting a first down they take the penalty line up right away let's see if Rockford will come up and go for this kick is away McDuffa racing up lets it bounce it goes right to him he got a real friendly bounce but Lutheran is right there and they stop him at the 40 couple of nice hits on the play when they got down there what McDuffa really got a friendly bounce on that punt but wasn't able to do much with it I was shocked to see him catch it actually marty I thought he was going to go fast and all of a sudden I don't know that was a friendly bounce I think it was a good catch well the royal lines have it on the 40 and they lead 14-7 and 158 left I think they're going to see a healthy dose of big number 3 Steven Shields on this drive Shields McDuffa and Burton in the back Field Burton scored the touchdown on a 13 yard run in the last possession Shields right up the middle he had a big hole and he runs right over a defender before he's ripped out at the 40 a 20 yard pickup and a penalty on the play though Marty I don't know who the penalty is on but being run over was Benjamin Herbst and he's a nice hole for him good run out check that that was TJ Radloff that got run over the injury was Caleb Davis number 25 he's on the sideline and this will really help Luther 20 yard run by Shields wiped out by a penalty a penalty happened at the 46 yard line so we'll give Shields a 6 yard pickup then there's a penalty there you see Davis being attended by the trainer we're going to have a timeout here Marty yep timeout on the field and timeout out here with Rockford leading 14-7 hit me applied energy in a 4 direction equals human locomotion what does this all mean doctor wow this concept might actually change the way we get from point A to point B I felt like Einstein inventing the telephone I give you the human foot get up get out get moving a message from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons exactly right now they've been overpowered a little bit defensively they started the blitz and just come at them there you see the scoreboard with Taylor what's going on the ball is on the 37 it's first down with 14 yards to go and we're in the third quarter 15-51 remaining Rockford Christian with a 14-7 lead and they have the ball each team has two timeouts remaining and off the shields trying to slip off the left side but Lutheran is there to stop them they push them out of bounds at the 40 Lutheran did a good job of stringing them out he did get about 4 or 5 yards but they string it all nice and didn't let the big guy get rumbling going to be second down in 10 all spotted at the 40 shield a 3 yard pickup on that play shield says 9 carries already this quarter Tom they're starting, like we were discussing at the time out there, they're starting to use their power a little bit they're powering them on defense by blitzing a lot of linebackers and they're running straight ahead right now against Lutheran he has 48 yards it gives them 102 on the game Toonbury hitting the backfield and he sacked had about the 35 yard line good job Maldonado on the sack Maldonado took them down but Tony Hume blitz and stopped them first the ball on the 35 yard line makes it third down in 15 we're going to have to get the painters out here before Friday those lines a little more noticeable I think so too, it's not just my eyes it's the field I think it's that grass is still growing Marty Toonbury dropping straight back rifles of pass over the middle and the receiver comes back made a great adjustment but dropped the ball Lutheran caught a big break there that ball should have been caught should have been caught but there was the effect of the wind on the ball Marty that ball actually fell it seemed to fall away from the receiver I almost think it slipped out of his hands Tom let's see when he steps up it doesn't matter the ball should have been caught when it's in your hands you catch it fourth down Radloff is back deep along with teammate Tony Hume I believe that is Tom I can't quite catch his number you're right Marty, number 10 Nelson got the kick away reminds me a little bit of Reggie Roby he just kind of stands there and swings his leg and boots it 20-30 yards Roby would kick it 50 though he could kick it in the pros because he's got a no step approach those quick releases right well I'm running out of lines Tom you better hurry up and get the quarter over 48 seconds remaining it's going to be first in 10 Lutheran and you're spotted at the 47 or 48 it's called the 47 37 party what do you think Marty they're going to come out throwing in the last 48 here or do you think they'll you might as well take advantage of the wind I got a feeling you might be throwing whether it was with or against the wind I think they will too except now you could pull one up there but again I can't believe how deep that safety is Marty 5, 10, 15 yards 16 yards both ducks under center second back through home and there's no place to go right now Marty they're sending one or two guys right up the middle and you're not going to be able to run up the middle and they're also getting good penetration all the way along the line home loses three and I'll tell you what Christian is or Brockford Christian is taking over the game on the defensive side they're just pushing Luther around here in the second half minus five minus three, minus six, minus 13 minus two, minus three not many plus gains this half two receivers to each side I think that guy's coming right up the middle quick out catches made by Radloff and he gets it out to about the 45 nice catch, nice run good pass that was a good play because you got away from those blitzing guys in the middle right away that was huge Brockford did have good pursuit though from the inside out but not until Lutherne had gained a few yards that's going to be the end of the quarter with the ball spotted on the 44 yard line at the end of three quarters of play it's Brockford Christian 14 Sheboygan Lutherne 7 so when I decided to go back to school I needed to find one that fit my our lifestyle Lakeland college was the perfect place they offer an easy to manage schedule and counselors to help me anytime evening classes at Lakeland don't tie my our life in knots ever considered a double major a good shot of Radloff as Lutherne comes back on the field we're going to be starting fourth quarter action according to my stats in that quarter Taylor Polth was two for three for zero yards he had a minus 10 completion and a plus 10 completion the last one coming to Radloff right here at the end to draw him up to zero and three Lutherne trailing by seven they need first down here ball spotted on the 44 yard line they're bringing somebody right up the middle again you're right Taylor Polth got away from one but he can't get away from the other two and eventually making the stop was big number 77 Tyler Sears and they're bringing him up the middle Marty and they're going to have Lutherne's got to figure out a way right now to stop that the last quarter is going to get long ooh for sure loss of eight on that sack by Polth makes it fourth down and 11 McDuffa is back deep to receive the punt and we get a flag I think somebody on the defense lined up offside I think they did Tony Holm is back to do the punting for Lutherne you have nothing going on in the fall though right in terms of coaching nothing going on in the fall basketball over here at South I'm just golfing on Tuesdays that's a good fall I'm going to come here Friday night and watch the ball game you guys are doing should be an interesting game I think it's going to be slinger loss their first game also it'll be a good test for South kick is away not real long they're out of bounds right around the 46 yard line oh boy not a good one it's going to be first and 10 for Rockford and they're going to be not in the hole going to be in good field position nice if Lutherne could get a big stop right here right now I've got it down as a 13-yard punt Tom that's just not good enough but like happened so many times it falls back on your defense your defense has got to get you in position and keep you in position what they did late in that second quarter I thought was they put Rockford Christian in some long second and third down where they had to throw the ball once or twice and they don't feel real comfortable doing that they had them in a good position first back is Shields and Vanderpij is right there and they drive them back after a short Maldonado was in on that tackle good job Maldonado was the guy I noticed not 72 we'll give Shields a gain of one that was a very nice job by the defense you'd like to see them do more of that right now get the ball back second down and nine ball into 47 excuse me Tom trips right Thunberg well Burton was not in good position to take a option but Thunberg is really running the daylights out of this carry and gets it down he loses the ball Lutheran has it Thunberg with a great effort but he lost the ball at the end of the run he ran from one side of the field to the other Marty he was going east and west along with a little bit of north and south lost the ball on about the 34 yard line had a big pickup but then he fumbled and lost it you're going to take a good look at it look at number 40 Tom he does not good position to take a pitch no I don't good run here right here tries to make a little extra effort and loses the ball hit the ball hanging out there lost it, good break for Luther now let's see if they can capitalize on it on the 31 so what is that 19 could that be a 34 yard run is that right he also ran 40 yards side to side yeah really first down and 10 Lutheran going against the wind Paul is trying to get outside but he can he's hitting hammer down for another last and coming in there was Tyler Sears he missed others well they're bringing a linebacker every time at least one linebacker every time now and right now defensive line is overpowering the offensive line in a big way I mean it's not even close no it's a big way ball spotted on the 26 that makes it a loss of 5 for a Taylor Poth and I shudder to think what his totals are going to look like many many losses on sacks and it's continuing here in the fourth quarter go from the shotgun he has Holm out there just overshot his receiver it goes in complete playing defense out there was Ken Toonberg and his teammate Shane Yozi he got the ball out there but just a little short and he has a nice spiral I'm not sure about the seems to throw a little bit of the arm yeah it's like you know how we throw till pitchers get their elbows up and throw he's kind of got his elbow down third down in 15 big play wide receivers two to the left and two to the right Holm in motion perps alone setback rifles a shot over the middle to TJ Radloff getting close to the first down scrambling but he's going to be just short just over the 40 yard line it's going to be a 14 yard pickup let's see what they do here when Taylor both has time to get set he's got it he fires a nice pass Marty he fired that one in there real nice there he is in the replay fires that in there a little bit of side sidearm nice block on the play too to help them get as close as they are to the first down looks like they may be going for it Marty big decision big time in the ball game with 838 left Radloff had six catches in the first half he has two more here in the second to give him eight on the night fourth and one wide receivers split off to the left and right we have two setbacks on this play both ducks under center barking off the signals he drops back looking looking shields wraps him up and rips him down for a loss on the play Sam Shields making a dynamite play again big play by the big guy he's been offensively in defense defensively one of the big guys for Rockford Christian high school ball is going to be that's going to be a loss of three for Taylor both Rockford Christian will take over on the 37 one remaining in the fourth quarter Rockford Christian leads it 14 to 7 second back through is Burton and he drags tacklers up to about the 35 or 34 yard line give him a gain of three Vendor Pye and Herps on the tackle another tackle for Vendor Pye which was keeping track of those tonight he did have a bundle on special teams and defensively he's done a very nice job more than just a handful he's been in a lot of plays I think the most exciting was when he was in the middle of the field and he slid down and got the quarterback way out to the side really showed great pursuit Burton on the inside handoff on the spread off and he picks up pretty good yardage he's got it inside the 30 down to about the 28 close couple yards for first down pick up a six third down at one third and short yardage big play here now for Luther of course I've been saying that the last few minutes really they're all big when you're on defense and you're trailing good part for Rockford is they probably have two downs to get well I was thinking about this when Luther had the fourth and one you know they're not the kind of team that's going to play that smash my mouth kind of football when Rockford Christian gets in this kind of position I mean that's kind of football you know right in the middle right give me the football here we going to come right at you and they got the bruiser back there and shields too they're either going to give it the shields or follow shields yeah and either way you're in trouble that's right they're following him this time over but flipping through number 72 that's Bender Pie and also helping him was Caleb Davis wow good play shot right through there and made a nice tackle good job super job like Duffa loses three on the play well I said they had they might have two downs let's look at the last play well yeah it was Bender Pie he was the one that got through there you're right fourth down and four with the second back through he's not going to get the first down but they got a scramblin they finally push him back no game good job on the carry for no game well a good defensive stop by Lutheran when they needed it boy Christian took over deep in their territory and they held them to no first downs that's excellent they only had the three and then the six yard run we were talking about the smash ball football but they smashed it right back out the smash ball football and they didn't smash ball Marty they went wide in that play lost a couple yards and put them in a fourth and long instead of fourth and only a yard well ball is going to be spotted we'll call it the 30 yard line it's a little hard to see the line is very light out there I think it's just a tad short of the 30 but we'll call it the 30 it makes the math a little easier and I need every fit of health I can get I think you're rounding up well they got a line back right in the middle it came Radloff got pushed there's a fight for the ball who's going to have it offense Radloff comes away with it you know I think they could easily call pass interference too because he got bumped pretty good but there was no flag penalty on the play from somewhere penalty off to the side I don't know what's going on I think they just called the play oh you're right the flag is no personal fall on somebody after the play you're going to see it right here actually threw that one up for grabs but Radloff made a great adjustment let's see off on the top of your screen can you see anything that happened can you take your helmet off Marty it might have been a poor choice of behavior after ruling she was going to have the ball that's the only thing I can think of right now there it's at the 47th cell 17 yard pickup TJ with another catch he has 31 yards on two catches in this quarter TJ does a really nice job of getting that ball went up there and grabbed a piece of it and I think the ruling is Marty goes to the offense then if they both get it I think you're right there and that's what happened I concur he's spotted inside the 40 we'll call it the 38 after the penalty first and 10 Lutheran they're in great field position both dropping back rifles went down comes back and out super job super job Marty he caught that ball and it's feet to make sure they're in bones excellent job not only caught it he made sure his feet were in bounds hope we got the here we go I'm going to give him a 20 yard pickup actually it's going to be a little less than 20 give him 18 yards he just he looked down at his feet and made sure they had him in bounds nice catch nice play well he might want to think about double teaming him Tom what do you say well I think they didn't have two guys out there in that play Marty but he went up and caught that ball even the one before it the one that was floating out to the two guys on him and he was able to go up in between him and make the catch and quite a drive going here for the Lutheran Crusaders we're in the fourth quarter with three pardon me 537 remaining Mike Martin along with Tom Burr for those of you that are wondering where Chris right is he's wishing he was here he's over at St. Dominic's with open house we're going to do that tomorrow night we have ours I think it's on the 20 no on the 15th of September somewhere on there you see Coach Coach L. Holzheimer looking to the troops you know Marty when things are going good I wasn't looking at the linebackers I don't know if they've been picking him but you must picking him up now because I can't believe that I think they are in his stop that we'll watch him on this play and see where they're going I'm wondering if the backs aren't stepping you know and picking things coming right up the middle because that's really where they were getting hurt was right up the middle and you can correct that or at least help a tone for that by having your backs look to the middle and I think the offensive line of Lutheran has done a better job in keeping the penetration out of there too they're coming they're coming gets it out to Nimmer and he makes the catch gets it down inside the 15 to about the 14 there's that little underneath pass Tom they run that very nicely he was wide open Marty did a good another good pass he he makes a catch too you're going to see he's offed on the right he's drifting over to the left there he is makes a good catch he's dragged out of bounds probably drags a defender out of bounds more than the defender dragged him another timeout by Luther and they had a substitution that I don't know if it was supposed to occur or not but Coach Holsheimer didn't like it and he calls timeout and with the score 14 to 7 we're going to take a timeout we'll be right back if you give someone a fish you feed them for a day each someone to fish for a lifetime give me a fish and you'll feed me for a day teach me to fish and you'll feed me for a lifetime through Volunteers of America you can help change lives in your community back at South High School where Cheboy and Luther is on the move and Tommy think you saw an injury and that's why they needed to make a quick substitution I thought I saw Matt Maldonado limping off Marty and I think he's off the field right now so they needed to make a substitution form well here we go they've sent guys up the middle the last play Tom they didn't get through pull it drop straight back fires it to the outside and there's interference the receiver was pushed down Nimmer tried to make a move and it looked like McDuffa pushed him gave him a two-hand shiver just pushed him right out of the play I don't think he would have got the ball either the ball was yeah too wide going in another direction I see Matt Maldonado coming back in there here we're going to see the guy in the end of the right on the line there you see him going out and there you see the two-hand shiver that defense of play was made by Mike Jern Getty and that's pass interference and Luther is going to get the ball first and goal they're talking to Nicholas Carrier regarding the penalty and I think Carrier said to Charlie Stark let me think now second and seven or first and goal hmm let's take the first and goal I think so Marty let's see Luther and get it in here now it's like the time I got stopped for going just a little too fast and the guy said well what would you like today the $100 ticket or the warning well let me think about that for a minute he said you better not think too long Buster well it's a half half the distance we're going to give it the seven yard line where it's going to be first and goal for Luther loan setback as Herbst pull it straight back rifles it over the middle and it catches in and out of the hands of the receiver Davis or was that home it was home and he got drilled pretty good good pass defense that time by Rockford good pass he got a nice pass in there Taylor both been throwing the ball when he's got time Marty seems to do a pretty good job I think for a young quarterback getting the ball in there and quarterbacks just need time to develop here we go second and goal ball spotted inside the 10 at about the seven yard line nobody coming up the middle at time quick out and right between the two receivers not a very accurate pass but that time it looked like they were dropping more men back that time on the drop and they got some pressure on the quarterback made him throw it I think a little bit sooner than he wanted was a defensive lineman laying at the quarterbacks feet who that's always distracting it's going to be third down and goal thing is a field goal doesn't help you you're down by seven they need to get a touchdown well they should have two chances at it Marty last two passes have been incomplete after throwing three completions in a row actually four in a row I would say that that pass to the left that timing pass to the left you got it called he did it again Radloff trying to make the catch he made the catch but he is out of bounds almost good call Tom well they said they had two receivers to the right and they sent one of the backs to the right and trying to deek the defense Radloff is such a nice receiver I don't think that was a hard call to make Marty no the only thing that might have hurt him a little bit was there wasn't a whole lot of field to work with on this left side the ball is on the left hash mark that made it much harder for the receiver didn't give him a lot of room to clear but well this is a key point in the game it's fourth down we have five 14 remaining in the quarter Radloff is double covered out here on the left Herbst and Holm in the back field Holm in motion straight back he is looking for Radloff pass over the middle to Nimmer just off his hands a little bit behind both was hit as he threw not an easy throw but he got it out there good play they had to play there pass was just off by a little I think yep Nimmer able to get his hands on it but a little bit too far behind him he was open now we got to play some defense keep him down here real good time to get him three and all like they did the last time time to stop him Shields the up back Burton and McDuffa Shields takes it and he's hit right at the line of scrimmage and push back little or no gain good job by the defense good penetration by our friend Zach Vanderpij good penetration now so far in the fourth quarter Tom Shields has only carried the ball twice for a total of two yards making a big difference you see Chuck Benedum activities director over at Sheboygan Lutheran does a great job over there kids really like him second back through is Burton he gets it up just over the 10 but not much somebody hurt on the play Marty that's not good well if it's going to be somebody hurt might as well be the other team even though we don't like anyone getting hurt ball is spotted just outside the 10 we'll call it the 11 so give Burton a pick up of three yards on the play it's going to make a third down and six long six long six is right if Lutheran can stop him here should get the ball in fairly decent field position for one more try here well it looks like maybe it was a cramp hopefully he's not that royal lion isn't seriously hurt Rockford Christians nickname is the Royal Lions Sheboygan Lutheran of the Crusaders and we're just Tom and Mike and he's up and walking off the field and that's a good thing, glad to see that that was Mr Burton who scored the touchdown earlier Phillip Burton in that series he ran the ball very well Marty he had three and then a six and then a zero and then another three so he's been getting pretty much action he had more action in the fourth quarter than he had in the whole first half trips to the right lone wide receiver out to the left McDuffa is the lone back with the Thunberg and he pitches it out McDuffa picks up a nice block he slips one tackler almost slips another but he's out over the twenty and he's got a first down he lost the ball but got it back boy he picked up some real nice blocking out there Tom what helps him on that play is with those wide receivers out in that area they get such nice watch the crack back block here on twenty two see that boom and tackler missed them by then it was too late but you get such good angles with those three wide receivers coming back to the inside almost on that one he got him in the back close to the legal block yeah really it was very close you're right that's why crack back sent always legal they get really good angles same formation but this time they give it the shields up the middle and good defense played by Lutheran stopping him for a short game picks up about three yards a big guy's going out that's a good thing he's played a heck of a football game that's for sure on both sides of the ball right yeah on both sides is absolutely right and running on being the lead blocker the only thing he hasn't done is caught the ball yet or say don't throw the ball much anyway they might throw one out you know I don't think so trips out to the right again long setback is McDuff I believe no new back Toonberg trying to get wide good pursuit by Luther and they string it out knock him out here's a twenty yard line and I was hoping he was out of bounds to stop the clock we only have two fifty left Marty clock winding as we speak it's down to about two forty five it's gonna be third down how many timeouts does Lutheran have left they call two they have one left that's what I thought ball is spotted at about the twenty one or twenty two yard line give Toonberg a loss a two on the play big play watch those crack backs again they got the big guy in there Toonberg telling Shields get ready you're getting it I could be coming this way quarterback he dropped straight back he has pretty good blocking now he's flushed out of the pocket and the receiver can't quite come up with it trying to make the catch but unable to was Benjamin Hines that was a good thing for Luther stops the clock Marty stops the clock with just over two minutes and six seconds left first pass attempt by here in the fourth quarter and only the fifth attempt of the half Toonberg is one out of five this half well the snapbacks have been shaky at best you know if we can get another shaky one get that block this time I don't know if they have a block or not but now it might be a good time to go after it yeah really especially like you just said snaps have been shaky as they walk up to the line of scrimmage that probably might have been an equipment thing the good part about that the clock is not running either Marty and it pushes them back a little bit every yard helps now we've been doing a good job of feeling the punts all night this is a big one what do you think of this don't rush him just make sure he gets it away and run a return again you know do they have a return in the playbook yet snap is good and Nelson's kick is away Radloff takes it at the 45 he's up to the 50 down to the 45 before he's pulled out of Owens good catch and a good return did a nice job again he had to move back on that ball to catch it yeah he did a good job of retreating grab that's not easy to do this situation this is good when you have a passing game and a passing attack because we're on what the 46 Marty 46 and the one thing I do kind of like though Tom is the ball is on the right hash mark Radloff almost always lines up here on the left so it gives him a little bit more operating room he's being guarded by two guys right on him and the safety is way over this side too so I can go there Radloff heading up over the middle passes well over his head incomplete and that's who they were looking for you know at some point I do think though you need to look for some of your other guys just to take the pressure off Radloff a little bit make the defense respect those other guys and as we just noted I mean it was almost like they had three guys yeah right they're they're doing more than double covering them but I like to do in that situation is put a man right up on him and bump and run with him and which throws the timing of the pass off and Lutheran does throw a lot of timing passes now we have four wide receivers two to the left two to the right lone setback is Herbst Taylor straight back rifles went down the field Radloff makes a great adjustment and rips them all away from the defense he's got it complete at the 30 he's really fun to watch Marty he is a really great receiver I mean that's 16 yard completion two three times where four times where we've seen he's had to go up and get the ball right with the defense and that's his ball 140 and counting Marty pull with 5 for 10 in the fourth quarter been putting it up a lot rolling out throwback to home but he had a knee down and it's going to be a catch but not much of a gain matter of fact there will be a loss I think it bounced Marty it did bounce okay so incomplete that's even better it stops the clock I think the official was signaling ball was on the ground that was before his knee was on the ground second down and 10 ball on the 30 Lutheran got it as far down as the 7 first and goal and was not able to score the Royal Lions playing great defense on the goal line 131 remaining in the ball game Lutheran has one time out left wide receivers left and right Davis not in the game he heard himself earlier both rifles it down deep and it's incomplete even if that ball had been intercepted by Toonberg he was out of bounds and would have been not an interception they had three defenders over on them and a fourth one very close Marty I would think that maybe one of their passes where they bring somebody across from the other side now Nimmer is real good at that a little drag pattern I think that's what they call it don't they let Radleff clear it clear it out and send somebody underneath him he's going to be wide open everybody's running with him Luke Justinger is in for Davis number 15 fake pass he's rushed tired his pull with and he throws it up for grabs and it's almost intercepted it bounces around like a volleyball but nobody could come up with it and all that following I do think Radleff got that's the first pass I've seen him miss yeah but it had to be batted by two other people first yeah we're going to get a look at it right here timeout taken by Luther pump fake and he throws it up for grabs I got a feeling if Ekstrom wouldn't have bumped into his own teammate he would have made that catch because he was right there they had three guys I mean they've got three four guys right on that guy right there TJ Radleff played a wonderful guy it's been fun to watch yeah certainly has it's fourth down on a big play Luther needs to get it down to the 20 yard line it's fourth and ten Taylor both has had a pretty tough going this last half of the fourth quarter he had that first in goal and he threw four incompletions and then he started off this drive here with an incompletion before finally completing one for first down now he's had three more incomplete so you got to give Rockford some credit they're loading those pass defense zones they're playing good while they're loading up on Radleff and they're they're getting a little pressure I do think Luther has done a pretty good job in this fourth quarter better than the third quarter as far as the protecting I got to show you the sheet here from the third quarter no runs sacks so they are doing a much better job in the fourth quarter I said a little better here's the fourth quarter got TJ down here at the bottom both rushed hard he throws it up barely got it away and the defensive player made a smart play time he just batted that ball away and that's going to be the possession they'll be able to pretty much fall on the ball there's 113 left good pass rush by number 61 Ryan Smith from Rockford Christian first down in 10 Rockford will take it on the 30 coaches for Rockford Christian leaving the booth feeling they have the game pretty much wrapped up and played a good game both teams have played very spirited football here tonight I think it was a good matchup it was either McDuffer or Burton on the carry Burton on the carry not much on the carry Tom they stuffed them there have been times in this game where they've done a really good job of stuffing that run especially in the fourth quarter here Marty it's not over yet they can strip the ball away I'm surprised they didn't just kneel down actually instead of handing off no timeouts remaining for Lutheran we're inside a minute handoff to McDuffer goes off tackle around the end and gets close to a first down he's going to get knocked down right at the 40 pick up a 9 or 8 5th timeout I thought maybe a timeout for a measurement but they really don't need to measure on this they didn't get it and clock is running that's the ball game Rockford Lutheran opens their 2005 season with the hard fought 14-7 win over the own two Sheboygan Lutheran Crusaders we're going to step out come back we'll give you some final stats and wrap up this puppy million seals and counting killed over the last decade make your voice heard visit ifaw.org to end the cruelty this is a tree that was never chopped down to make a crutch that was never needed by a child who never got polio because vaccine was never in short supply thanks to people whose compassion wasn't either over the years rotary club members have helped immunize over 2 billion children against polio soon the world will be polio free rotary humanity in motion we're back here at Sheboygan south high school where the Lutheran crusaders really gave a spirited fight but Rockford Christian just a little too tough tonight Tom there were times where Rockford Christian was overpowering them using their power running and then blitzing and overpowering them with their blitz and Lutheran was on offense if you had to pick a player of the game I think we'd both agree that Samuel Shields number 3 would probably be it he had 107 yards rushing and was great like you said leading the plays and really played a fine game on defense too he played very well on both sides of the ball but I was real impressed too with TJ Radliffe I enjoyed watching him go up and get that ball all night long he did a super job he's quite a receiver he finished the night with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 receptions is what I have him for I know Andy is going to be really interested in that because he keeps track of the records and things and that might have been a record for him for sure because I think he had 10 going in he had 11 tonight so great night by our TJ and I think the area record before he said was 12 Summersberger Greg Summersberger played for South Cleveland played football where Josh Binsler is that's going to do it for our broadcast tonight Tom I want to thank you a lot for coming over it's a great working with you just like it is when we're teaching school and going to those FIED meetings for the crew Brian Andrews on the field camera Andy McKillip up on top Kerry Coulter spinning the dial I'm Mike Martin saying so long everybody thanks for watching and we'll see you down the road
