And we are back three two one What's up, what's
up Johnson County sports podcast you guys already
know me I'm Prince We got two new people here
two new guests, you know, you're used to seeing
Jay, but we might have a little flag warrior
from the Chiefs here Go Chiefs. Hey, my name
is Marcel Duncan, man, and I'm here. I'm grateful
for the opportunity to come out here and speak,
give you a little knowledge about myself and
hopefully some good sports stuff. We're here
for it. You know, learn something new myself.
And yeah, my name is Demetrius Thies and I'll
be talking about... KU basketball in the NCAA
tournament since we're here in March Madness
and Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe a little Royals if
we have time, but yeah, they'll be starting up
So they're already in spring training, but when
the season starts here at the end of the month,
so yeah downtown or no downtown Alright, well
We know we're here for it mainly Johnson County
Sports still undefeated still undefeated But
this time it was close It was close the men's
We defeated Allen County Only 75 to 70 by the
way a very very close game and they're still
29 to know women's one also 81 to 71 They're
30, you know now, by the way, Allen's County
was 16 and 10 before that game So they weren't
really that good of a team and yet that was a
very close game some stats here avian web 22
points five threes made Tavian Cruz classic double
-double an absolute monster. He's always getting
double -doubles like always come on now 12 points
12 rebounds and then I don't wing Near enough
triple double by the way 11 points 10 rebounds
6 assists But Allen County by the way Clyde Davis
jr. Player I'm pointing out here played 40 minutes
Got 23 points and they put up a good fight with
almost every starter They're starting lineup
having ten or more points Women's basketball
Allen County is actually good when it comes to
the women's basketball side There's 16 and 8
before that game of course now 16 and 9 Layla
Scott absolutely cooking every single game that
she plays she got 22 points 11 rebounds for assists
Kara sticking 22 points 8 rebounds for assists
Now going over to you guys I know it's not the
biggest point of view you guys have on the sports,
but if you guys were to you know just be Looking
at this from a general's point of view if and
if you were to come to Johnson County And you
would hear out of nowhere that they're undefeated
How would you think a calm a community college
being undefeated? What do you guys think of that?
I'll start, I'll start. I think it's pretty dope.
Honestly, I read little snippets in places all
the time, right? So what's crazy is I just read
a snippet of Johnson County being what they are
right now, as far as the men and the women side.
And I think as a student here, you know, it allows
you to have a little smirk or a little smile
on your face, because you're like, oh man, I
go to that school. Now what I could tell you
is... I don't feel like I've ever seen any of
these players walking about. None of the players
walk in and out the hallways. But hey, overall,
it's a happy moment that you're a part of something,
a part of that school that's doing big things.
Yeah, definitely. Retrieves? I mean, yeah, it's
really cool. You know, it's really hard. You
know, you look at like in the season and... you
know, you start and they'll see you're five,
ten though, okay, great. And then, oh, then it's
15 though. This time of year, there's just a
lot of pressure, because especially, you know,
tournament time. Yeah. It's like, like, you look
at, like, in college basketball, I know we're
talking about Juco, but in a regular season,
a team that's way better is maybe going to win
by 20, 25. But when you get into, like, tournament
time, they're just so closer. It's like a different
feel. So it's really cool and for the the girls
and boys to be the only undefeated teams in the
United States here I mean, that's really cool,
too. It really amazing. It's cool. Yeah, very
much so It's crazy to think that we don't really
get any attention from the big big, you know
broadcasts like I mean, I know ESPN that's very
big but the fact that we don't get talked about
on radio sometimes too much because You can understand
the men's side being undefeated, right? So I
know eight ten eight ten sports radio posted
about the Johnson County Community College I
seen that we're getting there Yeah, it's it's
crazy to think that the men's side, you know
Undefeated and you sometimes you can expect that
sometimes but then you can see the women's side
to undefeated and that's just the part that Over
parts it being like that's just absolutely crazy
um now We have wanted players here. We've wanted
to interview them um and I think that would be
a really cool thing to do um So definitely coming
soon um come on players exactly We were trying
to interview a double double story. Tell us why
not why why y 'all why? Yeah, exactly exactly
um, but if you guys were to I guess, how do I
word this? If you guys were to go to a different
community college, and you guys were to just
go to a game, and it's Johnson County, and you
know of them, but you don't know they're undefeated,
really. And you're going to the game, and then
you're sitting down, and the score is 85 to 40.
What do you something's different there? Yeah.
Yeah, at least you get your money's worth in
those Yeah, you get to see a school win you get
to see a blowout Yeah, I mean there's rare in
college you want to say that but depending if
you're talking major d1 to double a you know
The thing is they've they've had multiple blowout.
I mean they've had so many blowout victories
You know, there's there's a win. They had 97
to 59 um work Exactly. So this game against Allen
County was one of the closest games they've had
throughout the season. You need those though.
Exactly. You got to see if you're a clutch. Yeah,
I mean, you know, when you win every game, you
know, by 20 plus points, that's good. Obviously,
you're a good team. If you can win games like...
Clutch games. Especially if it was like the first
one and you can win it, that's... You know you
need those like Marcel said here you need those
games you need to learn how to win close games
and Blowout games because if you're if you're
if you're winning blowout games all the time
exactly and you don't and let's see you get to
the championship Mm -hmm, and it's uh could be
the best you're down one or up one with three
minutes left like We need a heart so yeah It's
easy to come become complacent when you're winning
a lot of games, right? You think you're going
to blow every team out, especially when you're
blowing teams out. You think you're going to
blow every team out. So to have those bar burners,
or as they call them, it allows you to know that
you still have the hustle. Yeah. So you don't
know what the feeling is like of a close game
until you expect it. And by the way, it's not
just the player. I mean, it's mostly the players,
90%, but the coaches. For sure. Shout out to
the coaches. Oh yeah. Get the flowers. Get the
praise. Yeah, for sure good good players and
good games going to coaching as well Yeah, it's
from top to bottom yeah, exactly all right everyone
buys into the system exactly It's everyone has
to contribute all right now. We're looking at
Demetrius his shirt Kuk you big rock But big
loss big big loss, but We were the first ones
to give them a loss Arizona is who we lost to
84 to 61 it's a big loss, but hey sometimes You
got to just understand that was the number one
team and we gave them a loss So what are your
guys's thoughts just to first off start off?
What are you guys's thoughts on KU? Watch KU
a lot? Yeah, I watch every game. Yeah, I'm a
big sports fan. I watch all sports, but yeah
going back to this um You know KU is a real tricky
team, you know. Indeed. You know, you go back
the start of conference play when we lost to
West Virginia. And I mean, things was looking...
I mean, some people was discussing, was starting
to talk, are we even gonna make an in -state
tournament this year? Yeah. I mean, literally.
And then, you know, we beat Iowa State who was
undefeated at the time. And then we went, what,
won eight in a row, I think. Yep. And then we
lost. Mm -hmm. It's been a tricky thing, you
know, you know, you beat teams like Iowa State,
Arizona, and Houston, but lose at West Virginia
and then at home to Cincinnati. Yeah. Now we
did get blown out there Arizona the other day.
Yep. But we play at Arizona State tonight, so
hopefully we can rebounce back. You can't overlook
any team. The Big 12 is one of the best conferences
here in the country. Just to get some stats out
of the way. Darien Peterson the main guy that
we all like to talk about baller. Yeah, 24 points
on 8 of 21 shooting But still a baller still
projected to go number one or number two. So
I praise him. Yeah him arranging exactly Now
one person who did struggle this game was Flory
Only two points. He only had five shots. He's
a guy that can dominate the paint a lot and very
easily But he only got five shots up only four
rebounds Before he was that is very low for a
guy like him now, Arizona They they're there
every starter had 10 plus points Braden Burys
had 20 6 for 10 shooting. Yeah They were they
came in ready though. They did they took the
earlier in the season. They definitely wanted
to come in and Show it was all for home court
advantage to it was on court advantage. It happens.
Yeah, you have bad days Yeah, well in that crevice
or crevice for Arizona. He's a beast. Oh, yeah
He's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Well, okay We always
ask this question and we always talk about him.
But since you guys are new here on this podcast
Aaron Peterson How much is is he really that
guy? And how what are the thoughts on you know
the load management stuff here Marcel you want
to start you on me usually give it to you We
usually don't we usually don't talk about him
every podcast or we try not to at this point
But it's you guys are new here. We'll get some
new opinions on you know Before he came in you
know here KU or when he was starting you know
there were some people that was saying you know
you know like Comparing him to Coby Bryant now
first off wait a minute. You can't do that. I
mean you just can't do that. Uh -uh. I know be
um Look Darren Peterson. He's he's a phenomenal
player. Um Just really great when he's been in
games as you know the the sitting out being hurt
with the you know He I think he's a real Neil
But you can't compare him to Kobe Bryant or any
NBA player for that matter because he's got to
prove himself The one concern that I know it's
been as someone was saying is you know with these
cramps affecting him now Look at the NBA you
play way more games Yeah, I was gonna say that.
Is this the cramp issue, or is it kind of preparing
them to stay healthy? There's a lot of controversial
thing on this. It almost sounds Joel and B -dish,
right? It does, it does. When you make it to
the league, there's a lot happening, and for
you to be in this space in college, you know,
it's demanding, but not as demanding as an NBA.
And that's the talk about, like, if you're already
missing this many games. The NBA is the prime
of load management. They just like to put people
out even when they're probably not out. I just
want to put them out Well, like I said though,
he is a phenomenal player. Oh, yeah, he makes
a lot of clutch shots like the game in so -called
mistake He had a great first half start of the
second half. He made that three then he got taken
out But then since then he's played every game
So and then this time of year then say turn right
around the corner now that's the big tournament
We can keep him healthy for that. That's what
I'll take my chances That's what my point of
view on this is he can miss games But when it
comes to the March Madness time need him, that's
when I want to see him prove himself the most
when the Scouts started exactly I mean look at
Curry all those years ago and he not had that
moment at Davidson then he may not have been
noticed away yeah you you know Marcel and going
back to that Stephon Curry that dude was so on
like he was overlooked man he could have played
at Duke or North Carolina or KU I don't know
who Stephon Curry is y 'all but I know Steph
Curry well okay well Davidson You're right though.
That's hot. That's how it happens though, right?
Is that they come out and they they're coming
to see somebody else, right? But if you are that
person you want to get a spotlight Show up. Well,
I mean if y 'all I don't know if you guys remember
but KD and Russell Westbrook came out to watch
curry saying at a Davidson game And now curry
was the one just hidden a half court shot on
them buzzer beater and all that evolution could
be a full circle moment for darian peterson it
could happen for sure you got a lot of potential
um it's just a lot of what ifs but that's with
every player almost any person yeah for sure
you could do that with every player yeah because
injuries happen exactly no matter how long you're
in the gym no matter how long you run takes one
play one wrong move and something happens so
you know yeah stay stay healthy go take Advantage
of your opportunity exactly exactly any more
final thoughts on on KU I Mean just finish strong
here, you know, like I said big 12 tournaments
next week than insane tournament have the guys
healthy ready to go don't overlook teams cuz
in the interview room, I think for a Badoonga
basically kind of said They kind of overlook
Cincinnati, but Bill Self, he didn't buy that.
You know what, I don't want to say it on you.
But it's just kind of crazy like how that, you
can't, I mean, first off, this is Division 1
in the Big 12. It's one of the toughest commons.
How do you even overlook a team anyway? But either
way, they did beat Houston that next game. So,
you know, but I don't know. I'm guessing, do
you watch college basketball more? Definitely
college basketball more. I watch college basketball
more. So with March Madness around the corner,
is there a team that you think could have a big
upset? Well, first I want to say this. I mean,
people are talking about, what about Miami, Ohio
Redhawks, 29 -0. Now, their strength of schedule
I did see is like 321. but They've they've beaten
on quad two quad three teams that You know KU
and some of them teams have lost to but not the
you know competition. Mm -hmm. Yeah, I don't
know but going back to your question any upsets
Exactly I know you watch it. I don't know who,
but it's always up there. I look at it this way,
you know, it happened twice now. Virginia losing
the first once he'd ever lose back in 2018 to
UMBC and then the Purdue Boilermakers back in
2023 a few years ago lost to Farley Dickinson
FDU. I mean, it used to be - We're doing this
mainly so we can check back in a few weeks and
see if you can get any right. Well, we all know
the the three and four seeds are always ones
that get upset It used to be the two seeds has
only happened eight times But now it's happened
way more than that now and then now once he just
happened twice There will be upsets. Yes. I don't
know who but there will be some I don't know
brackets together Depending on what my own Miami,
Ohio gets in the seating wise But if they get
you know around like that eight nine ten eleven
seed It's all about confidence and I know they
had a scare the other night against Western Michigan
Broncos They only won by two and they're only
10 and 19. Mm -hmm Like I was going back earlier
when you blow if what do you get out of blowing
everyone out? You have to have those types of
games and I think a scary team What happened
the other night winning by two instead of winning
by like 25? That's how I look at it. It's yeah
I know it sounds cliche, but that's just how
you I see it. That's how it usually works You
have to plan for upset nowadays It just happens
and you know I remember last year with everybody's
brackets They won day two You're planning on
like most teams probably playing for Darien Peterson
against KU for sure but One role player off the
bench can change that game plan right away and
boom. It's now all over the place Well, we got
a day exactly. I look at it this way if 15 seed
st. Peters can make it to the lead eight and
Loyola Chicago can get to a final four Yeah,
I mean it's rare but anything can happen. You
can't say everything's happening Well, that was
a great KU talk. Hopefully they win tonight against
Arizona State. Rock Chalk. Exactly. Go Rock Chalk.
Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk. All right. Well, now moving
on to possibly Flag Warrior for the Chiefs. Hey.
Yeah, that's a very crazy change. But that's
a very special guest to have. So take it away.
Anything you want to say for that part? Hey,
world. Hey, messenger. Man. So I have been a
flag guy for the last seven years for the Chiefs.
I actually found it on accident. I was at home
like most of us, and I was scrolling up and down
my phone, and I seen a position for flag warrior.
I decided to put in my application. They said,
hey man, come for tryout. It's like, what is
a tryout for a flag warrior? Hey man, I get there.
What I didn't know at the time is that you have
to retry out every year, right? So the last year,
guys, was there. There was about 30 people there
at that point in time. But what I can tell you
is once I got the email back, like, hey, come
out to tryouts, I was like, this is mine. I was
talking to God. I was doing all these things.
Like, look, I want this position. If it's for
me, let me have it. And with that confidence,
man, I got there. They showed us some routes.
Every time they scored a touchdown, we'd do a
100 yard dash. Listen, every time they do field
goals, we have some. So we came in, we did the
tryouts, ran hard. I gave it my best efforts.
And afterwards, we had like two minute sit downs
with the coaches and stuff, right? It was a quick
two minutes. Afterwards, they say, hey, have
a good day, right? They released the... the results
on Twitter, on their Twitter. So I can remember
that night, I got a call like seven, eight o
'clock from one of the guys that was with me.
And he was like, man, have you seen? And I just
knew what he was about to say, so I hung up in
his face. I go to Twitter and I see my name.
And when I tell you, even telling the story now,
I still get goosebumps because what I can tell
you is that it's a moment that I associate with
happiness. It's forever to be a happy moment.
That's the chiefs. The chiefs, right? So then
move fast forward, man, to actually join the
team and actually be a part of those Super Bowl
runs and be in the parades. It's been such a
roller coaster ride. And I'm blessed to be a
part of it. I'm grateful to have the opportunity.
Man, I got three rings. Yeah, I can't there's
nothing more I can say but being grateful for
the opportunity. Well, that's really cool, man
But Marcel I gotta say this you said this was
seven years ago, right? Yeah So you were you
were starting when we were the legion of zoom
scoring all the time. I got a workout It was
the Tyree Hills the Marcus Robinson the McCall
Hardman, you know and even in that moment I'll
talk about my first year was with Tom Brady when
he came to the stadium and we lost with the overtime.
What I can tell you is I've never seen 70 ,000
people disappear so fast. When the crowd was
hype, when we got the interception with D -Ford,
I'm telling you the energy was out of this world.
When they called the penalty, the energy was
gone and so was the people. And it was just crazy
to see the energy shift. And I've been a part
of it, man. And it's such a... cool experience
to be able to talk to, talk about, and just knowing
that once history is history, I'm a part of it,
one way or another. Have you ever had any player
interactions? Oh, yeah, man. In Vegas, I got
my whole jersey. I got Gracie Hunt on the back
of there. I got Paul Rudd. I got Jawan Taylor.
I got Jason Kelsey. I got Mama Kelsey. I got
Pacheco. You didn't get the last Kelsey? I didn't
get the last Kelsey. I've seen Tay -Tay a few
times in the hallway. I ain't gonna lie. They
tell us not to be groupies necessarily, but it's
like, hey, you work here. So keep it smooth.
So I've seen Tay -Tay. Yeah, man, I've had a
lot of interactions, but like the parades, man,
when the parades happen, there's freedom. I've
been on the street walking with them. Anything
you can think of. You get that. Obviously the
the last parade when we won it that tragedy that
happened talk about that because Actually, I
knew I know the lady Lisa Lopez Galván Okay,
I didn't know her personally, but I have family
that does she was a DJ and she actually did my
grandparents 50th wedding anniversary back in
2013 so what was that like were you like were
you in them? I know they were going into the
station union station, but what were you what
were you guys thinking? I think how scared like
I mean Obviously didn't know where was that so
what was no for sure I think that's cool you
asked that because I actually think that That
was a great and sad moment all at once right,
and I think we don't talk about it enough like
now It's been some years, so To answer your question,
I was inside of Union Station, right? Because
again, we were where the players and the families
were. We were inside of Union Station, so we
didn't see anything. We were behind curtains.
But we heard the first initial rush of people
come rushing into Union Station, right? Now in
that moment, we got all the police coming in.
They're like, hey, they're trying to control
us. Well, I guess when the shots start ringing
off, more people start coming in to Union Station,
right? So now we're in this corner. and they're
just kind of putting us in these corners, right?
Now, mind you, I'm a veteran, right? I was in
the Army for eight years. I used to look for
bombs. This was my thing. In a catastrophe or
in a chaos like that, what I seen that I just
was like, what? They put a lot of people in corners,
right? Like, they were telling cheerleaders,
they were telling people, hey, go get in the
corner. Just, from my experience, people, when
you have a mass shooting, it is not... The thing
to run to a corner. Yeah, I'm just saying you
know I'm saying and and they really just was
like in that moment That's the biggest shock
that I have now fast forward Once we actually
got out the building and realized what happened
and I got on the buses and head back to the stadium
There was so much What was a good good day now,
it's a bad day right it was so much uncertainty
We didn't know exactly what had happened. We
just know something happened And so I can tell
you, as being a part of the organization and
stuff at that moment in time, it was very like,
what do we do next, right? Like this is the happy
and the saddest moment all at once. So it's unfortunate
and it sucks and I hate that that happened and
all of that. But I'm also happy that we as a
community in Kansas City was able to come together
in those moments. Love on each other. Definitely.
Yeah, it was I I watched it on television at
home and I remember seeing all the chaos and
But I remember it was like the next day and on
the news they were like saying like look at all
Think of all the children are gonna have be traumatized
by that day and they have yeah, it's it is very
unfair my own Family members like hey, I don't
want to go if y 'all go to a parade again I don't
know if I want to go to a parade again, right
and it sucks because We yearned for a parade
for years, right? And we finally got one two
and the third, you know, so crazy Hey crazy.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I know a lot of you guys might
be traumatized So let's take a little bit of
a shift here. Yes, and we'll talk about the same
sport. Okay, but free agency Okay coming up on
the NFL. I'm pretty sure it's March 11th. So
we're about a week away actually Tyree kill is
on the on the talks. Yes of coming to KC How
do you guys feel about the 2026 Chiefs? Unless
you start off. Oh man. Um, well think thank you
more so You know Yeah, I know there was been
hints of Tyree kill coming back here to Kansas
City um I know he's had some off -the -field.
You know issues I Don't know I mean I look at
this when I was talking to my mom about this
the other day actually You go back to the 2019
season Legion of Zoom if you brought that team
back now, we wouldn't win I'm gonna be honest
with you. We wouldn't win because guys have retired
guys are older now on Tyra kill perspective if
it's just him I Don't know you you know, you
we got Xavier worthy and some other guys. Um,
I don't know It'd be interesting to see what
we do if he did come back He would be a great
leader for guys like worthy and whoever else
will be here But I don't know what what do you
think Marcel? Man, I am like you said I was a
part of the initial right so like I ran a lot
of touchdown celebrations due to the legion of
zoom and I definitely feel like Tyree kill at
this moment is still faster than the average
person, even being hurt, right? I definitely
think he can help the offense, whether it's stretch
the field as a decoy or as a real person. And
then, you know, with Worthy and Rice, you have
people that he could definitely mentor based
upon off the field situations. So, you know,
he could come in as a veteran that we know. And
I think Kansas City is going to be very open
arms with it because it's Tyree kill and he's
been a The real you know, that's like that's
getting back Tony Gonzalez or somebody The thing
is I'll add this on to we're projected. I think
the ninth pick Yeah, Jeremiah love running back
projected. That's a I would be a great person
We got threats all over the offense Rashid Rice
where he hailed possibly Well, and the interesting
is Tyreek Hill's got competition. Xavier Worthy
might be faster than him. You know, I don't know.
Here's my fight with you on that, right? So Xavier
Worthy is straight line. I give you a straight
line. Tyreek is shifty or was shifty, right?
Because that's what the ACL is going to do. But
I feel like the quarterback too has made Tyreek
look bad. Bad? Okay, but I have I have I feel
like a lot of Tyreek bad talk has been happening
Yeah, mainly because he hasn't been getting the
throws and all that. Yeah But when you give the
best quarterback, yeah, I said it Yeah, when
you give the best quarterback and Tyreek who's
a long -runner or weapon and then you got worthy
on the left Tyreek on the right. That's well
And Andy Reid, the one of the best head coaches.
And when you got Eric Bini coming back, which
plays a part. I mean, you were there for him
there and gone. So I definitely got to see what
our offense that's scoring 30, 40 points a game
and then coming to Matt Nagy where, you know,
whatever. But the points just look a little differently
or the scheme looks a little differently. But
I definitely think that Tariq is going to probably.
Mean we didn't brought back everybody else. You
know I'm saying and we we brought back people
who probably little outlast their time frame
Why not bring them back? Yeah, the city is a
place to retire Yeah, anyway, right? Yeah, he
could he could be a use to us regardless if it's
long ball or sure ball Yeah, but if you give
us a running back as well exactly with him with
the right remaining wide receivers that we have
Cuz my truth is I kind of want to see Romeo Want
to see him play. I don't know why right like
he has earned his space So, you know him well
one last point that I kind of want to make you're
on the whole chiefs thing is Mahomes cutting
his salary cap thing multiple tests to to open
up more room Because now there's talks about
you want Taylor getting cut. You're on the team.
I see it. Yeah. Yes, I see it Okay Yeah, so there's
just this there's a lot of openness happening
going into free agency. Yeah, and Mike Evans
apparently isn't going back with the Bucs but
But that's what the talks are but you never it's
just a talk. What about David Montgomery? Just
getting traded to the Texas. Yeah, big things
are happening. Big things are happening But do
expect a lot of one scored games when it's the
Chiefs. You think so? Yeah, classic bills Think
they got some some animosity kind of build up
through this. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah I don't know
if they're on blow teams out, but I think the
offense is gonna look a lot more sharp Which
is going to lead to whatever definitely definitely
all right Well kind of to talk about you guys
here just on a general basis your day -to -day
life basis I know you're still you're still yeah,
so and of course Demetrius just how you guys
with sports you guys like to play any Not as
a professional level just on a normal day -to
-day basis What is your how do you guys operate,
you know? I'll take it. Um, you know, so I'm
now that I'm 36 Don't judge me people don't judge
well now that I'm 36 I try to my best state Active,
right? So I play softball during the spring I'm
in the gym a lot You know, so sports, I think
is important just to keep you active, you know,
and for me, the love is real just because of
the, you know, sports has played such a big part
in lives, whether we admit it or not. So, but
on the day to day, man, I just try to make sure
I keep myself in shape, make sure I stay up on
just in case somebody young wanna race me, come
race me. Yeah, um, so I I played baseball and
basketball growing up and my family is a Sports
household so I grew up with it. Yeah You know
my grandma recently passed my dad's mom and so
she would always have You know the times of games
so I have to text my grandpa because he watches
them But I have to remind him because she had
all that in order, but no just growing up You
know I grew up in sports and played baseball
for 12 years and then played basketball for six.
So I was a lefty so you know if you follow baseball
it's a limited position you know you can't be
a catcher and you can't play second short or
third so it's either a pitcher or first base,
I was all outfield. I loved, well, before high
school, I played just center field, but then
when you get to high school competition, so I
was more left field and right field. Yeah, I
played baseball in high school as well. Center
field, like third string pitcher. Yeah, third
string. Was there any success for baseball or
basketball on your team? Yeah, so we... It was
eighth grade year. We finished second place in
baseball in the regular season We didn't we lost
I think we had to win in the tournament to get
to the championship We lost so I think we took
fourth place or something or whatever it would
have been But we did I did win my dad coached
basketball. We did win two championships in the
GABL Okay, were you were you the one two what
position were you? Out in basketball. I was the
so I'm not tall but I was the kind of a down
low guy My height is more being a point guard,
but I just wasn't good ball handler But I at
that time being a big man down low It wasn't
bad point guard position but shooting guard role
that what I would have been that but I wasn't
good with the ball But at that at seventh at
sixth seventh eighth grade it kind of you can
know you don't you don't you're still you're
still developing So yeah, no man winning championships.
That's crazy cool them. Um, yeah, I ain't get
I think in high school I felt for me high school
wise no success not not in Basketball we didn't
do basketball this football, right? I did track
one year and I did a baseball the other year.
They're all TC, right? So baseball football and
track no love At least you competed. Yeah, now
we made it to district, but like that yeah, it's
ROTC. I am a National champ right so we got to
go to Daytona Beach. Oh, I was like my junior
senior year high school We used to tour rifles
12 -pound rifles man, so that's my only success
in high school wise. That's amazing though. It
was fun Yeah, all right well um final thoughts
