[0:05] HCTV Sports is supported by the
[0:08] Spoolhouse. From prom to weddings, let
[0:10] us suit your formal wear needs. Culbras
[0:13] of Hastings. From savory butter burgers
[0:16] to sweet scoops of frozen custard, we've
[0:18] got something handcrafted for everyone.
[0:27] Making the play.
[0:30] He gets a pen.
[0:32] >> Raiders are clawing their way back in
[0:34] this game.
[0:35] >> Just snipes one.
[0:37] >> It's over. Safe. Oh my god. Did you see
[0:41] that? Great diving play.
[0:44] >> He's a touchdown. Hastings Raiders who
[0:47] win the ball game.
[0:55] >> From Mcamera Stadium at Todd Field. This
[0:58] is Minnesota's state high school league
[1:00] football for week number three and we
[1:02] welcome you to McNamera Stadium at Todd
[1:05] Field for Hastings and Chaza. The
[1:07] Raiders and the Hawks meeting right here
[1:09] on HCTV alongside Owen Elie. I am Nick
[1:12] Tuckner and we are back after our week
[1:15] one broadcast. The folks up at BEC did a
[1:18] wonderful job with the week 2 game. We
[1:20] were able to follow along and watch the
[1:23] Raiders, oh my goodness, put the screws
[1:26] to Bloomington Jefferson putting up over
[1:29] 40 points. And not only that, Zack Shady
[1:32] Shadic sets a school record in the
[1:34] process on the ground. He is over 600
[1:38] yardds in two games when it comes to
[1:40] rushing tallies, and he has been some
[1:43] sort of a weapon. As we welcome the
[1:45] mailman, Owen Elely, into the mix. You
[1:48] and I both haven't been able to sit
[1:50] still since we left week one. All week
[1:52] two did was make us even more hungry for
[1:55] tonight. And then you bring a team like
[1:57] this ranked in the top 10 to town. This
[1:59] is going to be so much fun tonight.
[2:01] >> Well, there's no question about it. I
[2:02] mean, I have been buzzing all week
[2:04] thinking about Friday, especially after
[2:05] that Bloomington Jefferson performance.
[2:07] This is probably one of the more highly
[2:09] anticipated matchups that this team has
[2:11] had. And maybe you would know better
[2:12] than me, but at least in the time I've
[2:14] been here, this really feels like a big
[2:16] one. maybe maybe on the precipice of a
[2:18] of a of a a big season where maybe you
[2:21] compete for Mr. Minnesota, maybe you
[2:22] compete to get to the state tournament.
[2:24] It really feels like this year could be
[2:26] different, but it all starts here
[2:27] against the number eight team in 5A
[2:29] according to Strip. But for what it's
[2:30] worth, the Raiders just on the doorstep
[2:32] of that top 10, others receiving votes,
[2:35] >> right? So, you're just outside that top
[2:37] 10 when it comes to especially Strip,
[2:39] but mostly uh throughout the state. You
[2:41] look at some of the AP and everything
[2:43] else. Same goes, not much difference
[2:45] between the rankings here as we get
[2:47] ready for this one. The rain is falling
[2:49] uh before this game here tonight. We had
[2:52] a pretty substantial rain shower move
[2:55] through that was a little bit uh
[2:57] everlasting it seemed and it stopped
[2:59] raining. We were very
[3:02] good for a little bit of time, but now
[3:05] the rain has again started. And so
[3:08] they're going to go ahead and play in
[3:10] the rain here, at least to start things
[3:13] on HCTV. The Raiders will receive the
[3:16] football. That is because the uh coin
[3:19] toss was won by Chaza. They will defer
[3:22] to the second half. So that's where we
[3:24] begin this one. Chaza will be in their
[3:27] road white uniforms with the purple
[3:29] trim. Very reminiscent to the kids down
[3:31] Highway 61 at Redwing High School.
[3:36] >> 12 minutes on the scoreboard 38.
[3:40] >> Lovin will kick it off right footed
[3:42] booter from the 40 left to right on your
[3:45] TV screen.
[3:47] >> And here we go in the rain at Todd Field
[3:50] week three. And the football is in the
[3:53] air. The football will be taken just on
[3:55] the line off the 10 yd line. Here are
[3:56] the Raiders back to the near side
[3:58] finding some room too across the 20 to
[4:01] the 23 yd line will be Cardinal Herman
[4:04] O'Brien. So again, one of those guys
[4:06] that have made impacts in all facets
[4:08] throughout the season so far. And the
[4:10] Raiders, speaking of making impacts,
[4:12] will come out with their offense first.
[4:15] >> Yeah. And we'll see how this rain plays
[4:16] into it. Obviously, it's a very
[4:18] rushheavy attack, but uh the the
[4:20] quarterback Hansen, 270 passing yards
[4:23] through through two games, which you
[4:25] know, doesn't sound like a lot for
[4:26] college or football, but at this level,
[4:28] you know, we always say it, that's
[4:29] that's a pretty prolific passer right
[4:30] there. You got to figure he's only going
[4:31] to get better as the season goes on.
[4:33] We'll see what he has in store here for
[4:34] game three.
[4:35] >> Hansen sets two men in motion to the
[4:37] right side, stacked off the line, men in
[4:39] motion across the line. Burkin is a hand
[4:41] off to Sheney. Gets through the first
[4:44] initial burst at the line of scrimmage
[4:46] across the 25 to about the 30 with a
[4:49] little slip and slide on the turf here.
[4:51] And like Owens said, we're going to have
[4:52] to keep an eye on the turf and how that
[4:55] might affect the game, especially early
[4:57] on.
[4:58] >> Now, everybody knows about the big
[5:00] performance from Shadic against
[5:01] Bloomington Jefferson, but there were
[5:02] plenty of other players that had great
[5:04] performances. Grant Burken 75 yd uh
[5:06] kickoff return in the in the fourth
[5:08] quarter of that game. And plenty of
[5:09] players deserve their their roses from
[5:11] that one.
[5:11] >> We're definitely going to talk about
[5:12] that play throughout this game tonight.
[5:14] Here's a handoff Shadic. He runs into a
[5:17] stout wall at the line. Not many times
[5:20] >> this year that we have said Shadic
[5:22] stopped at the line, but that's what
[5:24] happens right there. It'll be third down
[5:26] about five. Did get about half two
[5:30] yards. Manny Hill says
[5:34] >> wonderful PA announcer here at Todd
[5:36] Field. And while the Raiders have a
[5:38] great rush or a great passing attack as
[5:40] well, you got to figure for Chesca, it
[5:41] starts and stops with Shady Shadock and
[5:44] stopping him.
[5:45] >> That also means that a couple of the
[5:47] other Raiders will need to step up in
[5:49] certain situations and make their
[5:51] presence felt as Shadock takes the
[5:54] pitch, backs into the line, tries to get
[5:56] close to the first down. He's short by 2
[5:58] and 1/2 yards. It's going to be fourth
[6:01] down and the Raiders right now decision
[6:04] time and it looks like Hansen still on
[6:07] the field talking with Coach Cook and he
[6:09] will remain on the field. Fourth down
[6:11] about a yard. All right, big play early
[6:14] on for Hastings offensively.
[6:18] >> You got to figure similarly to the new
[6:20] Prag game that possessions and uh
[6:24] scoring plays are going to come at a
[6:25] premium here.
[6:26] >> Fourth down, one yardd to go. The
[6:28] Raiders hand off Shadic. He will maybe
[6:30] just get enough for the first down.
[6:33] Shedenko saying yes. It looks like the
[6:35] official spotted him right on the 35.
[6:37] That's a first down. Yes. Move the
[6:39] chains. Raiders on fourth down early. Go
[6:42] for it at home. You got to like that
[6:45] early on. Just showing some faith in the
[6:47] boys after a 2 and 0 start.
[6:49] >> Well, that's what it is. It's confidence
[6:50] and it's faith in your team. And I
[6:52] always love clearly that was a first
[6:53] down, but you never see the defense
[6:55] saying that it was a first down. You
[6:56] never see the offense saying it wasn't.
[6:58] I just love those situations.
[7:00] >> Raiders get the first down. Hansen on a
[7:02] roll out. Right side intercepted. Threw
[7:04] it into a posi of purple. Right side
[7:06] interception. Chaza 30 25 breaks a
[7:09] tackle. 20 15 10 five down to two.
[7:16] Hansen picked off and a great return
[7:18] nonetheless on the play as number 26
[7:23] Maxwell Eckle with the interception
[7:28] and a big start for the Chaza defense.
[7:32] So, Apple, the 5'8, 155, 150 lb
[7:37] defensive back, makes a big play here.
[7:41] And the Raiders in some trouble early.
[7:45] >> Well, and it and it felt like that was a
[7:47] passing play. We have to pass the ball.
[7:49] But if it's a passing play, you
[7:51] certainly can just tuck and run. You
[7:52] don't have to feel forced to to throw
[7:54] the ball there. And and you know, the
[7:56] receiver, none of the receivers were
[7:57] open sometimes in plays like that. You
[7:59] just got to take a zero.
[8:01] >> Yep.
[8:03] Raiders still trying to hope to hang a
[8:06] zero here.
[8:07] >> Matthew Welter. 67 210 lb quarterback
[8:11] under center. Yes. 67.
[8:14] Man in motion to the left side. And
[8:16] he'll keep it himself at the 67. QB is
[8:19] in for a two-yd touchdown run.
[8:22] >> Matthew Welter. A twoyd run makes it 6
[8:26] nothing.
[8:27] Chesa
[8:29] >> and a just easy off fake handoff.
[8:32] >> Thought about the trap instead keeps it.
[8:34] Boy, 6'7 in tall. Not much the Raiders
[8:38] are going to do about that here this
[8:39] evening.
[8:42] >> Well, it doesn't get bigger than uh 67
[8:44] right there. But that is a nightmare
[8:47] start here for Hastings after they they
[8:49] had confidence in the in the team. They
[8:50] got that, you know, critical fourth down
[8:52] in their own territory. And that is not
[8:54] how you want to start what figures to be
[8:56] a a close game here.
[8:58] >> Lamman, freshman kicker, 59, 150,
[9:02] right-footed kicker. He kicked off as
[9:03] well for Jaza.
[9:06] The holder is Sam Summer. He waits.
[9:08] Senior Dback.
[9:10] Long call, long wait. Still no snap.
[9:14] Whistle blows. Now we're set. Snap high.
[9:18] Pulled down beautifully. Kick is up and
[9:19] the freshman hits it. And it's 7
[9:22] nothing. Chaska early on here on
[9:25] Hastings Community Television. So, not a
[9:29] long drive by any means and the little
[9:34] >> quarterback keeper here working off the
[9:36] left side. Kind of split the guard and
[9:39] the tackle as he gets in there. And
[9:41] >> boy, he's going to be an issue. He's a
[9:42] big guy. You don't see, you know,
[9:45] quarterbacks in high school at 6'7 in
[9:48] tall.
[9:50] Well, and we've we've seen Hastings at
[9:52] times struggle with bigger runners. They
[9:54] they figured it out later in that new
[9:56] Prag game, but it was something that
[9:57] kind of carved him up a little bit. So,
[9:59] at least it's it's something that
[10:00] they're not unfamiliar with, but he's he
[10:02] certainly figures to be a a problem
[10:04] here. And just an aside, just from the
[10:06] the pregame watching the the the special
[10:08] teams, it seems like Chesa's got a
[10:10] pretty good special teams uh as well, it
[10:13] looked like their their range in uh in
[10:15] pregame was about 45 yards for a field
[10:17] goal. So hopefully this is a close game
[10:20] here and that might factor in as well.
[10:22] >> Pretty rainy in the early going to as
[10:24] Loin's kick end over end. This will be
[10:27] taken by Carter Herman O'Brien right
[10:30] side 10 to the 15 down at the 17. Didn't
[10:32] even get out to the 20 yd line and a big
[10:35] hit there on special teams by Chaska and
[10:39] number 44 Carter Powers a 6'4 195 lb
[10:43] junior. They growing pretty big down
[10:45] there in Chesa. And another big play for
[10:48] the Hawks on the road here at Hastings
[10:50] trying to take away a little bit of this
[10:53] energy that the team has gotten over the
[10:55] first two weeks.
[10:56] >> Yeah, it's funny. There's just football
[10:58] programs that are known for their size,
[11:00] you know, whether it's Shaska or Still
[11:01] Water. Sometimes they just make them a
[11:03] little different around the cities. But
[11:04] you're right. We need the Raiders to get
[11:06] some sort of positive play here to try
[11:07] to stop the bleeding here early on.
[11:11] >> 9:05 to go. We're just underway. First
[11:14] quarter already 7 nothing. And this is
[11:16] the Hastings Raiders second offensive
[11:18] drive as Shannik will rumble for a yard
[11:21] maybe two under nine to play as the
[11:23] clock will run. 7 nothing your score as
[11:26] Chaza leads here on MCTV.
[11:30] >> You know, and this is why I liked that
[11:32] that passing play. I didn't necessarily
[11:33] like the pass in that situation, but you
[11:35] know, you are going to have to stretch
[11:36] the field a little bit because as good
[11:38] as Shadic is, the entire focus of this
[11:41] defense is going to be stopping a guy
[11:43] who, you know, is just a total game
[11:45] wrecker.
[11:46] >> Tight formation again for Hastings and
[11:49] they'll pitch it out left. Shadic 2025
[11:53] to the 26 and that's where he will be
[11:56] taken down after
[11:58] >> a modest gain on the play. will say gain
[12:01] of about three.
[12:03] >> Oh, Matty says six.
[12:06] >> That wasn't even close to what the uh TV
[12:08] guy said. Third down and a long two here
[12:11] with 806 to play. First quarter, Hawks
[12:14] up 7 nothing.
[12:16] >> And obviously he's got the nickname
[12:17] Shady, but you do have to wonder with
[12:19] this slippery wet field here, is that
[12:21] going to impact, you know, some of his
[12:23] elusiveness? He's still going to have
[12:25] it, but you know, a slip here, a slip
[12:26] there might change things in the run
[12:28] game. But if we're calling him slippery
[12:30] shady, that might be a good thing. We'll
[12:32] have to wait and see. Here's a handoff
[12:34] and we're going to get a whistle. This
[12:35] might be delay of game against the
[12:38] Raiders.
[12:40] >> False start against the Raiders.
[12:42] >> False start instead.
[12:44] >> I'm 0 for two on prognostication early
[12:46] on. That's wonderful.
[12:50] >> We'll we'll blame it on the angle up
[12:51] here.
[12:52] >> That's right. That's right. Uh, speaking
[12:53] of the angle, as I look across the
[12:55] field, not as big of a crowd as what
[12:57] Newreg brought, but they've been vocal
[12:59] far side to JSA fans, but look at our
[13:01] Hastings student section. As full as it
[13:04] gets ever here at Todd Field. Not only
[13:06] that, decked out in pink for tackle
[13:08] cancer. Third down, seven to go for
[13:11] Hastings after the penalty. Hansen on
[13:13] the roll. He will send it to Foss at the
[13:16] 20. Falls ahead 25 to the 30. 35 out of
[13:19] bounds there. First down. Raiders. Great
[13:21] catch, but not even you can't even talk
[13:23] about that without talking about what he
[13:25] did after the catch because he shook a
[13:27] big tackle, found enough yardage for the
[13:30] first down, and then some to give the
[13:31] Raiders some breathing room.
[13:32] >> Oh, there's no question. I mean, you're
[13:35] reliant on Yak right there. Maybe maybe
[13:37] we start calling him slippery FS. I
[13:39] don't know if it rolls off the tongue,
[13:40] but it certainly was uh was true right
[13:42] there.
[13:44] >> Raiders down seven, but on the run here
[13:47] offensively, second drive of the game.
[13:50] Opening touchdown came on a two-yd drive
[13:53] of the 6-7 quarterback plunging in for
[13:56] two yards and the score. Here's Shady
[13:58] again back to the line. Throw it
[13:59] backwards. Might have lost a yard. Yeah,
[14:01] he might have got to the line. We'll
[14:03] >> see. Looks like left foot spot will give
[14:04] him a short gain
[14:07] inside of a yard.
[14:11] >> And this is this is very early on. But
[14:13] what I'm what I'm noticing about this
[14:14] Chaza defense there, there's no holes in
[14:16] this defense. There's no lanes for Shady
[14:18] to use here. It's making it
[14:20] exceptionally hard for him. He could try
[14:22] to cut to the outside, but it seems like
[14:23] they've done a really good job at just
[14:25] trying to contain him at the line of
[14:27] scrimmage.
[14:28] >> You really see that Chaza
[14:31] very sound in their fundamentals,
[14:33] especially in the front seven. Handoff
[14:35] here is Shadic. He gets popped popped
[14:38] ahead to gain another half a yard or so,
[14:41] but a total of about three or four on
[14:43] the run. It's going to be third down and
[14:44] again, you know, not too long, but the
[14:48] Raiders approaching midfield here and a
[14:51] little slow to get up here. One of the
[14:54] Chaza players and this might be one of
[14:56] those cramp things, too, is
[14:58] Matias, the 6'25 linebacker down. And
[15:03] with the humidity, the warmth early on
[15:06] and really throughout this week, you're
[15:08] going to get those nights where the uh
[15:11] the cramps are a little more pronounced
[15:14] and I think that's exactly what we're
[15:16] getting right now with Matias. So
[15:19] hopefully they can just work on him here
[15:21] and Matias kind of stretching too kind
[15:23] of just wants to get that little piece
[15:26] out of there and
[15:28] feel that nerve whatever is bothering
[15:30] him.
[15:32] Gramps are I mean you're totally right
[15:33] about the conditions as we get a look at
[15:35] the head coach there here for for
[15:37] Hastings Dana Strain but
[15:41] I mean you're you're totally right about
[15:43] even if it's even if it's cold it seems
[15:44] like cramps are always they're always an
[15:46] issue you always got to stay hydrated
[15:48] there's never a time where where you
[15:49] can't be hydrated and
[15:52] >> you never like to see injuries but at
[15:55] least a lot of these are cramps where
[15:56] you know the player probably is going to
[15:58] come back in. It's not something overly
[16:01] serious.
[16:02] >> And really, one thing I I'd learned in
[16:04] college, especially from our trainers,
[16:07] was that things like Gatorade are not
[16:09] going to do it. You're going to need
[16:10] some water. Oldfashioned water, some
[16:12] electrolyte, like a banana water, some
[16:15] sort of coconut water, something like
[16:17] that. Watermelon's another good one.
[16:19] But, uh, but that, you know, that's
[16:22] Gatorade stuff's not exactly all it's
[16:24] cracked up to be for these kids that are
[16:26] active. Third down and five. four it
[16:28] says on the board, but it's a long four.
[16:30] Here's the pitch out. Shadic trying to
[16:32] get outside, finds a little room, gains
[16:35] a little bit of yardage, maybe two. So,
[16:38] it's going to be fourth down and short
[16:40] again. The Raiders are one for one on
[16:42] fourth down here this evening.
[16:44] >> And with 538 to go, the punting team
[16:47] will come in this time as they're going
[16:49] to say he only got one there, so he must
[16:51] have stepped out just a little bit
[16:53] early.
[16:54] That will make the decision much easier.
[16:57] As we look at Shadex's yards per carry,
[16:59] just under 10, eight touchdowns and like
[17:01] we said, now over 600 yardds here on the
[17:05] season through two and a quarter games
[17:08] so far. Raiders back in punt formation.
[17:13] Snap good. Arnes's kick end over end.
[17:16] This is going to be pretty decent with
[17:17] the roll. They'll be picked up on the
[17:19] run near side and taken down at the 36
[17:22] yd line.
[17:25] Will be the
[17:27] ever involved so far tonight. Number 26
[17:29] Maxwell Apple who had the big
[17:31] interception and the return that got the
[17:34] Hawks down inside the two.
[17:37] >> First down for Chaza. And now we're
[17:39] going to get a little longer look we
[17:41] hope at Chesa.
[17:43] >> 13 by 26. Well, now the onus here is on
[17:47] this Raiders defense. Again, it's it's
[17:49] very early in the game, but you
[17:50] certainly don't want to go down two
[17:52] possessions. It's going to be a critical
[17:53] drive here for this Raiders defense to
[17:55] see how they can handle the the Hawks
[17:57] offense.
[17:57] >> They got to reset the chains here.
[18:02] >> Handoff will go right side. Weren't even
[18:05] really ready on the play. Short game
[18:07] though. Good job by the Hastings
[18:08] defense, including Keller in on that
[18:11] tackle.
[18:12] >> Hand out the number 20, Justin. 20. Ray
[18:15] House getting the carry this time.
[18:18] >> Gain of three.
[18:20] >> Second and seven.
[18:21] >> Second down and seven. Grey House is
[18:23] here. Two touchdowns. Averaging 5.5 yds
[18:26] per carry. So, he's still getting a good
[18:28] slice every time he touches the ball.
[18:30] Man in motion to the far side. They're
[18:32] going to keep on the option up the
[18:34] middle. Sell the handoff, keep the
[18:36] football as a big quarterback, and just
[18:38] churn ahead. This reminds me a lot of
[18:41] Zack Reedman's years at Forest Lake. And
[18:44] I know anybody that's followed Raider
[18:46] football, especially back in the old uh
[18:49] suburban East Conference, as there's
[18:50] Matthew Welter right there, too. Boy,
[18:52] the big fella so far this year with
[18:54] those three rushing touchdowns, but
[18:56] really doesn't have a whole bunch of
[18:58] passing yards. The Raider run defense
[18:59] knowing they're going to have a long
[19:01] night at the office here. It's third
[19:02] down and two.
[19:04] kind of a wing tee this time as the
[19:06] handoff goes up the middle and this will
[19:08] be a carry for a first down just enough
[19:10] about a yard
[19:13] >> Justin great house the sophomore back
[19:16] >> you know and sorry to go back a play
[19:18] here but on that run by by Welter you
[19:21] know that's that's the advantage of
[19:22] having a big quarterback like that
[19:24] because they made the tackle but he was
[19:26] so big they had to pull him towards the
[19:28] Raiders defense and he got an extra two
[19:30] or three yards whereas if he was smaller
[19:32] you could try to drive him back and stop
[19:34] is his momentum.
[19:35] >> He had a heck of a lot of that from the
[19:37] backfield onward. Left to right is
[19:39] another man in motion. This time keeping
[19:41] the football is the quarterback and the
[19:43] Raiders get like three or four guys on
[19:46] him. But man, Welter still carries the
[19:48] fellas for about four maybe five yards
[19:51] depending on the spot. Manny says three,
[19:53] but man where the spot they gave him up
[19:55] the far side looks four yards or so.
[19:57] Man, the big quarterback you just got to
[19:59] jump and hope he falls down, slips on
[20:01] the turf, whatever. Well, that's exactly
[20:03] what I'm saying. I mean, the Raiders
[20:04] historically, they've always been really
[20:06] good at at tackling, whether it's open
[20:08] field or certainly gang uh tackling, but
[20:11] when you got a quarterback as big as
[20:12] that, even a play that should be a yard
[20:14] turns into four.
[20:16] >> Welter has CIA off the right side as a
[20:19] wing back. One to the left, Belmont.
[20:23] >> Single back. Nope. Keeping it. Welter
[20:25] trying to burst up the left side and
[20:28] chug along here. He'll gain another
[20:30] four. It's going to be third down and
[20:32] about two here. So, Welter doing quite a
[20:35] bit of the offensive damage, but nothing
[20:38] too flashy here out of the Chesa Hawks.
[20:41] This is not exactly football that uh the
[20:44] everyday high school football fan is
[20:46] going to enjoy, but it's very effective.
[20:48] >> Well, it's very tailored to the players
[20:50] you have. I mean, they're just running
[20:51] their quarterback like a juggernaut. If
[20:53] you have a juggernaut, it makes sense
[20:55] that they're that they're playing like
[20:56] this.
[20:57] >> Joe Barah splits out wide to the right
[20:59] this time. Now a pass and that is going
[21:01] to go to Jabra. He makes the catch. 40
[21:03] yd line down to the 36 yd line. First
[21:05] down and a first down for the Chesco
[21:08] Hawks at 241 to go here in the first
[21:11] quarter and it's 7 nothing Chaska. And
[21:14] they continue to move the football here
[21:16] on this drive. Eating a little bit of
[21:19] clock. Boy, they are as advertised,
[21:21] aren't they? 7 nothing here. The Hawks
[21:23] lead.
[21:24] >> That was a great example of open field
[21:26] tackling there from from Arnest. But
[21:27] yeah, you had to figure at some point
[21:29] they were going to open up the the pass
[21:30] game just with all this all these
[21:32] different variations of runs up the
[21:34] middle of the the offensive line there.
[21:36] Joe Pero will go out to the left side.
[21:38] Man in motion to the back field instead
[21:40] the handoff on the trap up the middle of
[21:42] right side. Will gain about two maybe
[21:44] three yards. Great house and about the
[21:46] 31. That's where he'll go down. Better
[21:48] gain than maybe I had thought in the
[21:50] first place. So 31 yd line. That's a
[21:52] good gain of about 5 yards.
[21:55] >> So 205 clock running here. Chaska doing
[21:58] their thing. Running the football
[21:59] effectively chewing up the clock trying
[22:02] to limit Hastings offensive possessions.
[22:04] So far for the Hawks. So good.
[22:08] Again, Welter, the big QB, 6'7 in, 210
[22:11] lbs. Hands off. Great house up the
[22:13] middle. Raiders had one man on him for
[22:16] just a moment. Kind of blasted him
[22:18] backwards on that tackle for Hastings.
[22:20] Initially was Xavier Tim and then he got
[22:23] some help there from a couple of his
[22:25] buddies here. as we look at the rest of
[22:27] that play and joined in on the party of
[22:29] course Estre who's had a tremendous
[22:31] season defensively so far for the
[22:33] Raiders
[22:34] >> and when they're methodically moving
[22:35] down the field like this just getting
[22:37] three four five yards of play it would
[22:39] be so beneficial just to get a negative
[22:41] play for Hastings if somebody can just
[22:43] get an early jump if somebody can make
[22:44] something happen just put them behind
[22:46] the sticks obviously critical spot on
[22:48] the field here I believe they could make
[22:50] a field goal from this position if they
[22:52] don't get the first down
[22:53] >> I formation Davis the upback this time.
[22:55] The give is the great house and he'll
[22:57] turn ahead for said first down as we hit
[23:00] right about a minute to play here in
[23:02] this first quarter. And again, just
[23:04] methodical. This is what they do. 13,
[23:07] 14, 15 plays, drives that end in scores.
[23:10] And whether it's three or six or seven
[23:12] or whatever it ends up being, this is
[23:14] what Chaza has made their existence on
[23:17] since they split from Chanhass a few
[23:19] years back.
[23:21] And you saw in that last play, Barrett
[23:23] Boardman just blew up through the line
[23:25] there. He was in the He was in the wrong
[23:26] gap where they were running, but he's
[23:28] going to make a big play here pretty
[23:30] soon. Handoff up the middle, great house
[23:32] and just some power running. Little late
[23:34] shenanigans there rolling along the far
[23:36] side and that was including
[23:40] >> one of the Rainers.
[23:42] >> I think that was Keller that was in
[23:44] there trying to make a play. It was the
[23:46] junior linebacker. Second and three.
[23:48] >> Second down, three yds to go. Could be
[23:51] the final play. Might not even be as the
[23:53] clock is running. They're going to hold
[23:54] off, I think, and go down on the other
[23:56] end. I don't think they're going to even
[23:58] Yep. They're not going to even take
[23:59] another play here, folks. Coaches are
[24:00] calling Chaska off the field. That's a
[24:03] quick first quarter of play. And the
[24:05] Raiders get two drives. Chaza trying to
[24:08] move on their second inside the red zone
[24:11] as a score. Chaska seven Hastings
[24:14] nothing here at the end of the first
[24:16] quarter. We'll be back with more in just
[24:18] a moment on Hastings Community
[24:20] Television. That's the end of the first
[24:22] quarter with the score.
[24:30] >> He gets a pin.
[24:33] What a move. What a goal. Oh, what a
[24:35] shot. Scores the Raiders. Can they get
[24:37] the lift? Yes, they do.
[24:40] Just snipes one.
[24:42] >> Oh my god.
[24:45] and reaching up and making the play.
[24:49] >> It's moving over.
[24:51] >> Looking to throw and she's going to get
[24:53] the first down.
[24:54] >> Gone. Touchdown Raiders.
[24:57] [Applause]
[25:11] [Music]
[25:27] [Music]
[25:35] run it as we welcome you all back to
[25:37] Todd Field down to the 10 yd line. the
[25:40] big QB.
[25:41] >> He will move the chains. That's a first
[25:44] down with 1154 to go here. The first
[25:46] play of the second quarter where the
[25:48] first half and now the sunshine is back.
[25:52] Funny thing though, Owen just mentioned
[25:54] it's back just in time to be in the
[25:55] Raiders faces. You're not kidding.
[25:58] >> Yeah, they're going to have to overcome
[25:59] this. Luckily, I don't think they're
[26:00] going to be passing the ball, so it
[26:02] might not hurt you as much as as in that
[26:04] situation.
[26:05] >> This time they'll give it off in the
[26:07] back field. A great tackle up the far
[26:10] right side after a gain of five. Great
[26:13] house there, but a great tackle by
[26:15] Bicil. And again, that textbook
[26:18] wrestling style of tackling where you're
[26:20] not going anywhere.
[26:22] >> And this is just such a a slow,
[26:24] methodical offense here for for Chesa.
[26:27] You know, it's reminiscent of of the
[26:28] Gophers offense, you know, where they
[26:30] just run the ball 10, 15 times, take up
[26:34] a whole quarter running the ball. I
[26:35] mean, they have a distinct brand of
[26:37] football. It might not be the most
[26:38] exciting, but boy is it effective when
[26:40] it's when you get downhill.
[26:42] >> This one is handed off. Great house.
[26:44] He's bottled up right around the five.
[26:47] Great play there by Hastings stepping in
[26:50] and making the stop there. Is is that 62
[26:53] or is that 82? We don't have a 62 on our
[26:57] roster here tonight.
[27:00] And we don't have an 82 for that matter.
[27:01] So that's interesting. We'll find that
[27:03] out from Dick Craig coming up here
[27:06] >> at halftime.
[27:08] >> Mystery player out there.
[27:09] >> We have a mystery.
[27:12] >> Might have been a Jersey staff move
[27:14] before the game. We'll figure it out
[27:16] here in a moment. Third down and go from
[27:19] the three. Here's Welter. Man in motion.
[27:22] He wants to run up the middle. He's not
[27:24] going to get there. He's down to about
[27:26] the half yardd line. This is going to be
[27:29] fourth down and goal and I mean inches.
[27:33] So here's the deal. If the Raiders can
[27:37] stop him, Chaza might be content with
[27:39] the fact that the Raiders got to go 99
[27:41] yds as we take a peek here at the
[27:43] Raiders stacking that lineup in the 67
[27:46] quarterback. And here comes Welter
[27:48] again. This is going to be right over
[27:49] the top. This is going to be a
[27:50] quarterback sneak right up the middle.
[27:53] Raiders got to find a way. Knocking on
[27:56] the door. Jas 7 nothing and there's
[27:58] Welter in the big fella just worms his
[28:01] way into the end zone.
[28:03] >> I was going to say you got to watch out
[28:04] for 77 Reggie Derek 6'5 345 lb left
[28:09] guard. You can see that's exactly who he
[28:11] follows right there. They got some
[28:13] gigantic offensive linemen on this team
[28:16] and and boy that that's so beneficial in
[28:19] in the goal line situations.
[28:21] >> We call that over at Pax and Prescott a
[28:24] sight of beef. Extra
[28:27] point attempt coming up. The young
[28:29] freshman kicker Lmen back in right
[28:32] footer again. Waits number 38 right to
[28:35] left and he kicks it end over end
[28:37] through the uprights and that makes it
[28:39] 14 nothing. Chas with the lead by
[28:44] number.
[28:45] >> So Raiders
[28:47] >> going to have to start doing a little
[28:49] bit of math here as we watch again the
[28:53] sneak across that left guard. Perfect
[28:55] play there. But you got to score here
[28:59] pretty soon because Chaska deferred
[29:02] early. They found a way to get the
[29:04] football back, turn it into their own
[29:06] score. They get the ball to start the
[29:08] second half. There's already only 938 to
[29:11] go in the half. So Hastings has to have
[29:14] some semblance of a little bit of early
[29:17] urgency here. I hate to say it like
[29:19] that, but with a team like you've said
[29:20] that plays that boring brand of
[29:22] football, a 14-point lead could be a
[29:24] death nail to a team that can't get back
[29:26] in the game. It's very important right
[29:28] now.
[29:29] >> Well, here's the thing, Tuck, too.
[29:30] You're totally correct with that. But
[29:32] they also need the composure to know
[29:33] that they're probably not going to be
[29:35] leading at halftime. This might be a a
[29:36] rest of the game type of thing cuz they
[29:38] are going to have long drives. It's
[29:41] going to be frustrating. You have to
[29:42] stay within yourself as well in addition
[29:44] to knowing possessions are going to be
[29:46] limited in this game. inside turnovers
[29:47] tonight. So important, folks. Here's a
[29:50] short kick. Up man will take it and this
[29:53] one will be brought up the left side and
[29:55] there's a flag that comes in as well as
[29:57] the Raiders trying to horse themselves
[29:59] to the 39 yd line. I'm wondering who
[30:02] just where they threw it in. It looks
[30:04] like it's going to be the RA against the
[30:05] Raiders. Grant Berken. Now, you want to
[30:07] kick it short, fine. But Grant Berkin
[30:09] took him back 75 to the house last week.
[30:11] And I don't think my voice has uh left
[30:14] the ceilings at my house because I
[30:17] alongside Bubs were going absolutely
[30:20] bonkers watching Burken bring that back.
[30:23] He's a special player and he can do a
[30:24] little bit of everything.
[30:26] >> Yeah, you absolutely do not want to be
[30:27] kicking it to that guy right there. He's
[30:29] basically a kick returner as an up back
[30:31] >> and just he's got that length. He's got,
[30:34] you know, the the wherewithal
[30:35] defensively where it's a face mask. You
[30:38] see a face mask or a co
[30:42] Either way, it's going to move the
[30:43] Raiders back quite a bit.
[30:46] >> It is holding good. I looked like a face
[30:48] mask at first, but it was holding. It'll
[30:50] be at the 25. Raiders will have 75 to
[30:53] Painter.
[30:55] >> Now, if you're Hastings, you know, like
[30:56] you said, this is going to be a a
[30:58] gamelong battle probably. It's not like
[31:00] you got to march down in two minutes.
[31:02] You put together one of those drives
[31:03] you've been known for all year.
[31:07] couple of those drives last week against
[31:09] Jefferson.
[31:11] Double-digit plays. Here is Berkin. He
[31:13] tried to use him there and he'll get
[31:15] thrown ahead and helmet comes off. Might
[31:18] have gained a half a yard if he's lucky.
[31:21] >> Raiders kind of tried a little bit of
[31:22] everything here early on.
[31:26] >> Well, and and and to go along with what
[31:27] you've been saying, I mean, it's it's so
[31:29] true. I mean, you know, there's no
[31:30] 14-point play. You're not getting back
[31:32] in one play, two plays, probably, you
[31:35] know, 10 or 20 plays. I mean, this is
[31:37] going to be a game-long battle against a
[31:39] team like who a team that plays this
[31:41] sort of style.
[31:45] >> But it is it is not going to be
[31:46] beneficial to get behind the sticks like
[31:48] you are right here.
[31:50] >> 853 to go. Clock runs. Second quarter,
[31:54] first half. Raiders down 14- nothing.
[31:56] Hand off. Shady trying to get outside.
[31:58] Back to the 25. Flag on the play as
[32:00] well. One of the Raiders though were
[32:02] picking himself up off the ground. the
[32:04] long barrier.
[32:05] >> I'm curious to see if this is against
[32:07] the Raiders or not because like I said,
[32:09] it looked like the Raider was the one
[32:11] picking himself up off the turf. This
[32:13] might be some sort of a defensive
[32:15] holding ball.
[32:18] >> Now he's Now he's motioning over to
[32:23] the Shaska coach.
[32:29] Oh no. Yeah, Raiders didn't need another
[32:32] one of those. Raiders have been fairly
[32:35] disciplined throughout the year. Not as
[32:38] much tonight.
[32:40] >> That's why I'm saying the composure is
[32:41] so important when you're when you're
[32:43] down in a situation like this as well.
[32:44] And now, you know, having a tough time
[32:47] getting shad at going down field. Now
[32:48] you might be forced into some pass
[32:50] situations right here.
[32:56] >> Raiders though can pass. We know that.
[33:00] One split out line to the left. That's
[33:01] Foss. Handoff goes to Shady across the
[33:05] 20 back to about the 23 and now we got
[33:08] third and exceptionally long. Call it a
[33:11] 12 or so.
[33:14] >> Not a good spot for Hastings to be in,
[33:16] especially noting there's 722 to go in a
[33:19] first half where at the end of the half,
[33:22] Chaza is going to get the ball to start
[33:24] the second half. But we do not need the
[33:26] Hawks scoring any more points until the
[33:28] Raiders find a way to get on the board
[33:30] themselves and make this a game again.
[33:32] >> And it's tough too with with Strain out
[33:34] now out out on the field. Obviously Fost
[33:36] is a great receiver and they and I'm
[33:37] sure they have great, you know, three
[33:39] and four wide receivers, but Fost is the
[33:41] only one that they've really been able
[33:42] to connect to through the first two
[33:44] games and some change.
[33:45] >> Marlo Strain of course injured in the
[33:47] opening game. One of the first plays
[33:49] offensively for the Raiders is this
[33:51] incomplete pass will set up fourth down
[33:53] in a punting situation for Hastings deep
[33:57] inside their own zone. Now with 650 to
[34:00] go here in the first half and it just
[34:02] looked like kind of a panic throw there.
[34:04] He knew that he wasn't going to get out
[34:06] of the grasp of the oncoming tackler.
[34:08] Tried to make something positive happen
[34:11] and in a third and long situation a lot
[34:12] of times that's not going to be
[34:14] successful.
[34:15] And I I like Burkin and I like his
[34:17] yakability, but in a situation like that
[34:19] where he needs 10 or 12 with three
[34:21] defenders closing in on him, not a good
[34:23] formula.
[34:23] >> And such sure tacklers. There's a great
[34:26] punt by Arnes. Back to the 35 of Chaza
[34:31] to the 40. Right side 45 bump backwards.
[34:34] Was that Bicel? It had to have been the
[34:36] way he tackled him and speared him.
[34:37] Yeah, the Brock Lesnar spear from Blake
[34:41] Bicel. And I'm not shocked one bit. just
[34:43] shot in there like a bullet. What a punt
[34:45] by Arnest. That was a thunder punt.
[34:48] Brought him all the way back and look,
[34:50] he almost slipped. If you would have
[34:51] fell down there, you would have down at
[34:52] the 35 yd line.
[34:54] >> You needed that. You needed anything to
[34:55] go your way. Even though you don't want
[34:56] to be punting the ball, you needed
[34:58] something to go your way. Now, Chuck, I
[35:00] don't want to scare you here, but you
[35:01] really got to make sure this doesn't
[35:03] turn into a 28 nothing ball game, cuz
[35:06] that's kind of where where it's leading.
[35:07] If they score here and they get the ball
[35:09] in the third quarter, you need something
[35:11] defensively here. anything, a strip
[35:13] sack, an interception,
[35:14] >> it could unravel very fast. And right
[35:18] here, a carry for Welter. And he just
[35:21] tries to bully his way to the 50 yd
[35:24] line. He will be just short of that.
[35:26] Maybe the 48. He's trying to hone
[35:28] himself a couple extra yards with a
[35:30] little roll in that 67 frame getting off
[35:32] the turf. He's kind of kind of reaching
[35:34] out. Hey, I got up right here. But he
[35:37] still gets five. And it's second down. a
[35:39] long five short six here with 608 to
[35:42] play first half.
[35:43] >> Well, this is what the Raiders did so
[35:45] well through the first two games, not
[35:46] having any negative plays. And that's
[35:48] you're kind of seeing Chaza do the same
[35:49] thing. They're not getting stuffed at
[35:51] the line of scrimmage.
[35:53] >> Looked like somebody moved early on the
[35:56] Chaza side. I want to see the near side
[35:58] offensive line here, guys.
[36:01] that or he got off the ball that well,
[36:03] but it looked like the near side as we
[36:05] look at the field, that offensive
[36:06] lineman here looked to get off the ball
[36:09] a little fast, but they got away with
[36:11] one and only gained one. So, great
[36:13] scenario here for Hastings now. Third
[36:15] down, five. Hasn't been many third and
[36:18] five. A lot of it's been third and
[36:19] short. Third and one, third and two.
[36:21] Let's make a play. 527 to go. Clock
[36:23] running. First half, second quarter here
[36:25] at Top Field on a Friday night, week
[36:27] three of the Minnesota football season.
[36:29] Here's a pitch out right side to one of
[36:31] the receivers. He'll get a first down,
[36:32] too.
[36:34] >> Pitched out. And again, a fell that
[36:37] hasn't touched the ball game. Luke
[36:39] Razer, a sophomore wide receiver,
[36:43] >> makes the play. And boy, some of these
[36:46] young kids are making huge plays as you
[36:48] look at Razer find his way to the right
[36:50] side. And
[36:50] >> it seems like the Raiders defenders were
[36:52] waiting for him to come to them as
[36:54] opposed to stepping in and trying to
[36:56] meet him short of the line to gain
[36:58] there. And and that's what happens. You
[36:59] get a full head of steam and you take a
[37:01] defender with you. First down Chesa.
[37:03] >> The one thing you can get kind of
[37:04] suckered into as a running going against
[37:07] a running team as we'll talk here now is
[37:10] that pass right there right side is a
[37:13] sneaky post that could come out of
[37:16] nowhere. And is this going to be a
[37:17] roughing the passer? I sure hope not.
[37:22] Well, I don't know because right now
[37:24] Welter kind of hung his head. He might
[37:25] have had a hold to help him get that
[37:28] ball out of there.
[37:30] >> Well, speaking of penalties, Tuck, I
[37:31] wanted to to mention this. Both teams,
[37:34] as it's a holding against Chesa, both
[37:36] teams are getting very overzealous with
[37:38] the blocking, especially after the play.
[37:40] And I can just see this playing out. One
[37:42] of these teams, as we get a look at the
[37:44] a beautiful pass, really just a little
[37:46] off the mark. One of these teams is
[37:48] going to get hit with an unnecessary
[37:49] roughness for blocking a little too
[37:51] after. And boy, you just hope it's not
[37:53] the Hastings considering
[37:56] you don't want to give this team a
[37:57] freebie the way they're moving.
[37:58] >> Especially a lot of times the retaliator
[38:01] will be the one that will probably be
[38:03] seen most of the time. Here's the
[38:06] keeper. Oh, Welter finds a hole and he
[38:09] gets through and he is gone. 20110 five
[38:14] the big man a long touchdown of 52 yds
[38:18] and the Raiders are on life support in
[38:21] the first half.
[38:23] [Music]
[38:25] [Applause]
[38:29] >> Well, this is very quickly turning into
[38:30] the Matthew Welter show. That's three
[38:32] first half rushing touchdowns. We'll get
[38:35] another look at it right here. and he's
[38:38] he's as slippery as Matt Foss was in the
[38:40] in the first quarter there that just
[38:42] everybody's on the right and couple of
[38:45] players bang into each other there for
[38:47] Hastings and then you got a 5'10
[38:50] quarterback trying to take down a 6'7
[38:52] quarterback and this game is getting out
[38:55] of hand very quickly here for Hastings.
[38:58] >> Snap spot Lamman puts it through again
[39:00] and the freshman's three of three. It's
[39:02] 21 nothing. Now, I was mentioning this
[39:05] earlier to you Raider fans out there.
[39:09] When you watched football in the
[39:11] suburban East, you know, 8 9 10 12 years
[39:15] ago, and we'd play Forest Lake, there
[39:18] was their quarterback who his name was
[39:20] Zack Reedman. He was 6'6 in tall as
[39:23] we're watching uh Welter just run to the
[39:26] house. But that's what Zack Reedman
[39:28] would do. He was 66. He was a small
[39:30] forward on the basketball team. He was
[39:32] the first baseman on the baseball team.
[39:35] He was a guy that was tall, long, lanky,
[39:38] wasn't that fast. But boy, when he got
[39:40] going, he looked like a deer running.
[39:42] And right there, that's what we saw out
[39:43] of Welter. And man, if I'm having
[39:46] flashbacks, I'm sorry, folks, but that
[39:48] is an identical offensive setup to what
[39:51] we saw from Forest Lake for coach Matt
[39:53] Cleary for so many years. And now if
[39:56] you're Hastings, I I would dare venture
[39:58] to say you need to score on this
[40:00] possession because there might be in the
[40:02] second half there might only be four
[40:04] possessions in the entirety of the
[40:06] second half there. The Jaza is going to
[40:07] have no urgency to be running hurry up
[40:10] or anything like this. I mean, if you're
[40:12] the Raiders, you really need to show
[40:13] something on this drive here.
[40:15] >> It's got to be 447. I mean, you cannot
[40:17] give Chesa the ball again.
[40:21] >> The kickoff taken by Carter Herman
[40:22] O'Brien. 20 to the 25 26 27 down. And
[40:27] again,
[40:29] you can almost sense the trepidation in
[40:32] my voice
[40:35] and almost fear of the future of what
[40:38] might happen here in the final 440 of
[40:41] this half. But not only that, the fear
[40:43] of a running clock in the second half.
[40:46] and the Raiders coming off of two
[40:48] spectacular
[40:50] >> city galvanizing victories.
[40:53] >> It'd be kind of a tough one to take
[40:55] tonight.
[40:56] >> It It would be a real kick in the pants
[40:58] if if they were to get blown out here by
[41:00] by Chesco when it's all said and done
[41:02] given the start they've had to the
[41:03] season. I I could not agree more.
[41:06] >> I'm being told that our stream is
[41:08] cutting out huge folks as a handoff or
[41:12] pitch out left side and Shane will get
[41:14] nothing.
[41:15] So, any of you folks that are uh uh any
[41:18] of the HTTV guys that are listening to
[41:20] me right now, um we've been notified
[41:22] that we're kind of cutting in and out.
[41:24] So, if there's any issues that we can
[41:25] fix,
[41:27] let's go ahead and do that. But just a
[41:29] heads up, little house cleaning on the
[41:33] fly. Second down, call it no gate.
[41:36] Back to the 27 yd line.
[41:40] 409 to play. First half, second quarter.
[41:43] Shady on the pitch, cuts back into the
[41:45] middle, gets across the 30, gets another
[41:47] yard, maybe two with the fall, gain
[41:49] about five, third and five, maybe a
[41:53] short six when it's all said and done
[41:55] here.
[41:56] >> And Chesa is just treating Shadock like
[41:58] he's prime Adrien Peterson where, you
[42:00] know, back in the day, you might see him
[42:02] get stuffed a few times. You got to hope
[42:03] that Shadock is like prime Peterson
[42:05] because eventually he would break a long
[42:07] touchdown. Boy, the Raiders really need
[42:09] that right here. Even though things
[42:10] haven't been going his way too much
[42:12] here. If he can break off a long one
[42:14] here, that that would go
[42:16] >> very far into into mounting up some sort
[42:18] of response.
[42:19] >> And the Raiders are going to have to
[42:20] stretch the field. You're going to have
[42:21] to hit a pass here soon. Look at how
[42:22] hard they're stacking the box here right
[42:24] now even. And pitch out goes to Shadic.
[42:27] And he tries to pick his way through
[42:29] left side. He's not going to get very
[42:31] short
[42:32] >> or very close I should say. He But I
[42:34] think he is short. I think they gave him
[42:37] a very generous spot as well.
[42:40] >> They're moving it. First down Raiders
[42:42] and a big one.
[42:44] >> Zack Shadic willedled himself to that
[42:46] first down.
[42:48] >> All right, Manny's trying to get us
[42:50] fired up on the PA here, but this
[42:53] smaller crowd on what was a very rainy
[42:56] early portion of this game now pretty
[43:00] dang nice for Friday night in Hastings.
[43:03] Trying to get loud here.
[43:06] Hand off from Hansen to Shady. He'll
[43:09] gain a yard and that's it.
[43:12] >> And I I love the Hastings Raiders, but
[43:14] that might have been a generous
[43:16] >> first down right there. You'll take it.
[43:17] Of course.
[43:19] >> Second and eight.
[43:20] >> Second down. 8 yds to go. Raiders down
[43:25] 21 nothing
[43:28] in the first half. Second quarter. 238
[43:30] to go. But the Raiders patient again
[43:33] realizing you can't give Chesa the final
[43:36] possession of the half knowing they have
[43:38] the ball to start the second half and
[43:41] you get one or two here and make it 35
[43:43] like you said 35 nothing something like
[43:44] that.
[43:46] It ain't going to be a fun second half
[43:47] for anybody. Back to pass. Hansen has a
[43:51] man. It's caught. First down Raiders to
[43:53] the fory of Chasa. Nice pass over the
[43:57] middle connecting on a slant to Carter
[43:59] Lundstöm, the senior receiver. 6'1 in
[44:03] tall. Great pitcher on the baseball
[44:05] field, but right there makes a big first
[44:09] down catch. And that's what we need in
[44:10] Owen. Stretch that field. Make him back
[44:13] off. Give Shady a little room. Nice
[44:17] pass. Way to be composed. And a great
[44:20] job by Hansen to deliver that football.
[44:22] >> You're you're starving in the desert.
[44:24] You just need a glass of water. You
[44:25] don't you don't need a swimming pool.
[44:26] You just need anything to go your way.
[44:28] Whether it whether it was giving a
[44:29] Dracula even a carry just to just to
[44:31] change it up. Just to change up anything
[44:33] to see if you can get anything going.
[44:34] That's exactly what they needed.
[44:36] >> Back to Shaney. He runs behind Mosman
[44:38] and he'll get
[44:40] >> another three maybe.
[44:45] Second down, but clock is running two
[44:47] here. And the Raiders have all three
[44:49] timeouts. Raiders, like we said though,
[44:52] would be happy
[44:54] >> chewing up puck, but I am I am of the
[44:56] ilk right now where I we're close enough
[44:58] to score. Let's let's score a touchdown
[45:00] here, guys.
[45:01] >> Second down and seven. Let's put a
[45:04] little pressure going into halftime on
[45:06] these Hawks.
[45:08] Single back. That's Shaney. Fake the
[45:11] pitch. Hansen on the run. Rolling to his
[45:13] strong side right back across his body.
[45:15] It's caught by Lundstrom. First down.
[45:18] We're starting to see a little bit of
[45:20] cohesiveness
[45:22] between quarterback and receiver as
[45:24] Lstrom has stepped into that Marlo
[45:26] screen spot and he's making a big
[45:28] impression here.
[45:30] >> And that's that's a great throw, too,
[45:31] cuz it would have been really tempting
[45:33] to try to go for the deep ball there
[45:34] with Elliot Hagen, but he he was kind of
[45:36] sneakily double covered. You love seeing
[45:38] that. And they're finding something that
[45:40] works. They're just whatever it is. Hey,
[45:42] Lunchroom, he's having a great couple of
[45:44] plays. Just keep feeding Lunchroom the
[45:47] ball. If it's not working with Shadic,
[45:48] we'll throw it with to lunchroom until
[45:50] it works with Shadic. We'll find any way
[45:52] we can do it. But before that, we'll
[45:53] talk quickly here about the uh the
[45:55] Spoolhouse from prom to weddings. Let us
[45:58] suit your formal wear needs. You can
[45:59] learn more information at
[46:00] thespoolhouse.com/sing.html.
[46:04] >> Thank you.
[46:07] >> You still got to bring in that jersey.
[46:08] >> I got to bring in my jersey. And and I
[46:10] also know this weekend actually I I've
[46:12] talked to so many people this week
[46:14] they're going to weddings a big wedding
[46:16] weekend. So you know if you got a
[46:18] wedding coming up and you need those
[46:20] alterations to that special dress maybe
[46:22] the pants uh got a you know less tight
[46:26] if you know and you might need a little
[46:28] fix there. We can do that too. So be
[46:30] sure for any of your
[46:33] >> spooling threading needs check out the
[46:36] spool house. locally owned and operated
[46:38] here in Hastings.
[46:41] 102 to go. First half, 21- nothing.
[46:45] Chaza over Hastings. Raiders threatening
[46:47] for the first time tonight. From the 20
[46:49] yd line, Shadic, he takes the hand off
[46:52] and will rumble for about what his
[46:53] average has been, three or so tonight.
[46:57] >> Well south of his average of around 10
[47:00] yardds per carry.
[47:03] >> Now, the Raiders do have two timeouts.
[47:04] Doesn't look like they're going to use
[47:05] one here, but they really need to have a
[47:07] sense of urgency here. We got 15 seconds
[47:09] already off the the play clock.
[47:11] >> And the field goal game hasn't exactly
[47:14] been kind to Hastings, whether it's
[47:16] extra points or three for that matter.
[47:18] >> Nor would it be particularly useful in a
[47:20] in a situation like this.
[47:23] >> Hand off. Shady bounces off a man. Boy,
[47:25] that initial little shove in the
[47:29] interior line of the Chaska defense made
[47:31] that play because Shady got a little bit
[47:34] of a bump and that slowed him down
[47:36] enough for the rest of the Chaza D to
[47:38] get in there and eat him up. So, you got
[47:40] to credit gang team tackling right
[47:42] there. 23 seconds left here and without
[47:46] the field goal game being big like you
[47:48] said 21 nothing anyway you probably want
[47:50] to put one in the end zone anyhow to
[47:53] really make this thing interesting in
[47:54] the second half you know this is an
[47:56] important little chat here for our squad
[47:59] >> no that's totally correct and now you're
[48:02] you're in an interesting situation where
[48:04] you're probably not going to be thinking
[48:07] about running the ball with uh with
[48:09] Shadic but luckily on this drive it has
[48:12] been pretty hot with uh with Carter
[48:13] Lundstrom. So, it is it is third down.
[48:16] You you you do have you don't
[48:18] necessarily have to target the the end
[48:19] zone here, but
[48:22] you might have two cracks at the end
[48:24] zone. Maybe you try to pick up a first
[48:26] down.
[48:28] Can use the uh the entirety of the of
[48:30] the field here, but yeah, like you're
[48:31] saying, I mean, it getting the getting
[48:34] the goose egg off the board is going to
[48:35] be important, but if you score a field
[48:36] goal and they come back in the second
[48:38] half and get a touchdown, it's a
[48:39] four-point swing anyways.
[48:42] Hansen rolls out right side on the run.
[48:45] Throws it back across his body again and
[48:48] that's Foss
[48:50] and Darn near had it near the five. 16
[48:53] seconds left now. Third down and five.
[48:56] Let's take a peek again. And you that's
[48:59] kind of a dangerous throw and we've seen
[49:01] it a few times. I know it's connected.
[49:03] You can't keep going back to the well
[49:05] for that in that spot knowing that thing
[49:06] will get picked and brought to the
[49:07] house. Uh, Vikings fans know very well
[49:10] that's a dangerous throw that cost us a
[49:12] Super Bowl.
[49:12] >> I see the Saints black and gold every
[49:15] time now and he rolls out. I I I I was
[49:18] and again now it's fourth down. So you
[49:20] you you really got to find a way here to
[49:22] either get the first down, get out of
[49:24] bounds.
[49:26] Let's see what they can do. Hansen under
[49:30] center. Stack up wings off the right.
[49:33] Two to be exact. And Hansen passes. It's
[49:36] caught by Burkin. He has the first down.
[49:39] And now they're going to call their
[49:40] final timeout and try to put one in the
[49:44] end zone here. But now as we take a peek
[49:48] and create camera work by the guys down
[49:50] on the field there is Hansen
[49:53] >> puts it right in the hands of Berken and
[49:56] some sure hands at that.
[49:59] You can tell right now with, you know,
[50:02] maybe a little cohesion with Lunstrom,
[50:04] of course, with Foss, uh, how he can
[50:07] catch the ball, too. You're starting to
[50:10] find a few more really surehanded
[50:12] options that now you can be comfortable
[50:14] with. You think about, you know, setting
[50:16] yourself on one read or one read only
[50:19] and not looking at your other keys or
[50:20] reads. Now, you're going to feel like,
[50:22] well, right away I can look at one of
[50:24] the two. It doesn't have to be that guy
[50:26] right away. and to broaden that out. I
[50:28] think that's going to make Hansen's job
[50:30] as a quarterback a lot easier the more
[50:32] he gets comfortable with his receivers
[50:34] throughout the season.
[50:35] >> So true. And you'll have two cracks
[50:37] here. And they've they've been really
[50:38] good at completing roll out passes on
[50:41] slant. So maybe you want maybe you want
[50:43] to line up Birkin or somebody in the
[50:45] slant going to the right side going to
[50:48] his his uh his arm side and try to
[50:50] connect something here. We'll see what
[50:51] they have cooked up.
[50:52] >> 9 seconds left. Raiders go with a single
[50:54] back set. That's Sheny fake the pitch.
[50:56] Blitz comes and Hansen is stuck.
[51:03] And that will do it for the first half.
[51:07] Raiders really needed one. They'll have
[51:10] some time to regroup at halftime and
[51:13] talk a bit about this first half and get
[51:16] things going. We saw the Raiders make
[51:18] some adjustments the first couple of
[51:19] games. And let's see here some scoring
[51:22] plays that come from Welter, the
[51:24] quarterback. that win of 21 and 52 here
[51:27] in the first half. He's a big boy.
[51:29] >> He's a big problem for Hastings. That's
[51:31] there's no two ways about it. And this
[51:33] was uh this was the the welter show for
[51:36] sure. Yeah. Three first half rushing
[51:38] touchdowns. It's unfortunate that the
[51:40] Raiders ended the the the final drive
[51:42] like that. And like you said, road teams
[51:45] going to get the ball to start the the
[51:46] second half. I mean, the Raiders,
[51:48] they're going to have to start getting
[51:49] defensive turnovers. I mean, it's it's
[51:51] going to have to be a full team effort
[51:54] here. It's going to have to be something
[51:55] special teams going your way. You're
[51:57] going to have to get the offense humming
[51:58] and you're going to have to probably get
[51:59] some turnovers as well if you want to
[52:01] crawl back into this one.
[52:02] >> At halftime, the Raiders trailing by a
[52:04] score of 21 to nothing. But some good
[52:07] news for you that we can tell you is
[52:08] coming up at halftime. Aside from some
[52:10] messages from our friends around the
[52:12] area, we're also going to have the
[52:14] little bit of a recap that came from the
[52:16] Hastings Bloomington Jefferson game. the
[52:18] school record that was set by Zack
[52:21] Shadic and much more. You'll probably
[52:22] see the Birkin kickoff return touchdown.
[52:25] That'll be a lot of fun. But thanks to
[52:27] our friends up at BECTV for putting that
[52:30] together. And then of course Hunter
[52:31] cutting everything up throughout the
[52:32] week to make you let you guys have some
[52:34] fun here at halftime. With the score,
[52:36] Chesa 21, Hastings nothing. Back with
[52:38] more from Ton Field coming up here in
[52:40] the second half on Hastings Community
[52:42] Television.
[52:55] He gets a pin.
[52:57] [Music]
[52:58] >> What a move. What a goal. Oh, what a
[53:00] shot. Scores the Raiders. Can they get
[53:02] the lift? Yes, they do.
[53:05] >> Just snipes one.
[53:07] >> Oh my god.
[53:10] >> And reaching up and making the play.
[53:14] It's moving over.
[53:16] >> Looking to throw it in. She's going to
[53:18] get the first down. Gone. Touchdown
[53:20] Raiders.
[53:22] [Applause]
[53:32] >> But here is the difference for the class
[53:33] of 1990.
[53:36] We went from mom
[53:38] to
[53:39] >> I know you're all excited about Y2K. You
[53:41] could lose power or party like it's
[53:42] 1999.
[53:44] >> Hastings high school has been graduating
[53:47] since the first 187
[53:52] [Applause]
[53:55] of 2020.

[54:46] And welcome back everybody to McNamera
[54:49] Stadium at Todd Field Halftime with the
[54:52] pretty sunset in the background to our
[54:55] west and southwest as take a peek at the
[54:58] coaches chatting, the officials getting
[55:01] ready as we look back at all of the fun
[55:03] that was had one week ago. And look at
[55:06] Shady run as he takes off here right
[55:09] side all the way to the house for a
[55:11] touchdown getting the Raiders going
[55:13] early. And you're going to tell me that
[55:15] that didn't set the tone for the rest of
[55:17] the night. Well, it did because the
[55:19] Raider defense also after giving up an
[55:22] early score to Jefferson, uh, they got
[55:24] back in gear again. And it was the Shady
[55:26] Show as he ran for a school record as he
[55:30] goes up over 370 yards on the night,
[55:33] including this run here, splitting the
[55:36] guard and tackle to get in from short
[55:37] yardage. And then right here, here's
[55:40] Hansen connecting on a great pass to
[55:42] Matt Foss up the right side. and Matty
[55:44] did the rest of it as he scored for the
[55:46] Raiders to put the game really out of
[55:48] reach in the first quarter alone. Later
[55:51] on, the Bluington Jefferson Jaguars were
[55:54] to get on the board before halftime.
[55:56] Yeah, shushes the crowd a little bit,
[55:58] but they weren't to be quiet very long
[55:59] cuz guess who has the football again?
[56:01] Shady Shadic off and running and he
[56:04] takes this one down for a touchdown as
[56:06] well. He had five total in the game. And
[56:09] now here's another big run up right side
[56:11] where he really liked that side all
[56:13] night. And here he breaks in to daylight
[56:16] and then pay dirt to close things as
[56:18] Shady again up over 370 yards in the
[56:22] game. Raider defense late in the game
[56:24] did give one up, but a lot of the
[56:26] starters were out at that point, but the
[56:29] Raiders man a great win nonetheless as
[56:33] they wrap things up against Bloomington
[56:35] Jefferson on the road with kickoff here.
[56:38] And there's Birkin doing his duty as we
[56:41] talked about his 75 yd return. And that
[56:44] gets us here to the second half of this
[56:46] game with the ball in the air. 21
[56:50] nothing Hawks and they have the
[56:52] football. 20 25 to about the 30 and
[56:55] that's where the returner will be taken
[56:57] down.
[56:59] And and talk I mean that was a beautiful
[57:02] recap by everybody involved. I'm almost
[57:04] glad that was a road game that you
[57:06] didn't cover because I think you'd be
[57:08] questionable for the remainder of the
[57:09] season. Your your voice box. I'd have to
[57:11] I'd have to take over. The backup would
[57:12] have to come in third quarter. You would
[57:14] you would have lost your top if you if
[57:16] you were covering that game.
[57:18] >> It was uh pretty fun. Like I said, even
[57:21] at home where you can kind of sit and
[57:23] hang out with the boy and have a great
[57:25] Friday night. And that first week of
[57:28] full week of school for the kids was
[57:30] just tremendous.
[57:33] 1154 to go. Just underway in the third
[57:36] quarter. Handoff's going to go nowhere.
[57:38] And the Raider defense coming up and
[57:41] flexing early as Barrett Boardman, we've
[57:45] talked about him now. This his third
[57:47] year on varsity making a big play again.
[57:49] And we're going to need a lot more out
[57:51] of 33 and the rest of the boys here in
[57:53] the middle.
[57:54] >> Well, you never can question the Raiders
[57:56] heart whether you know you're you're up
[57:58] in the Bloomington game or you're down
[58:00] here in the Chesa game. I I do trust
[58:02] that they'll have a a consistent effort
[58:05] throughout this one. So, you know,
[58:06] they're they're they're still in this
[58:09] game.
[58:10] >> Big quarterback Welter under center
[58:12] right half far side of the field as you
[58:14] look at the TV. Pitch out comes near
[58:16] side and across the 40. It's going to be
[58:18] a hold. That's going to come back
[58:19] anyway. So, yeah, it would have been
[58:21] probably a first down, but that's not
[58:23] going to matter as this should be coming
[58:26] back.
[58:29] And that time we saw Great House with
[58:32] the help of the hold show a little
[58:34] breakaway speed. We didn't see too much
[58:36] of it there in the first half as we'll
[58:38] take a peek and see if maybe we can find
[58:40] where this infraction took place in the
[58:42] back field.
[58:43] >> Yeah, it looks like 81 right there.
[58:45] >> Got a hold of the back of the jersey of
[58:47] Carter Herman O'Brien.
[58:51] >> It's amazing how well you can run when
[58:53] there's a when there's a hold sometimes
[58:55] >> a 10 yard
[58:56] >> and a spot foul too. So that'll move
[58:59] them back behind the initial line of
[59:01] scrimmage.
[59:02] >> And this is what we were talking about
[59:03] in the first half. You just got to put
[59:05] these guys behind the chains because
[59:06] they're not they've tried a couple of
[59:08] long passes, but they're not gashing you
[59:09] for 30 yards, 20 yards. It really is a
[59:12] consistent kind of faucet drip of an of
[59:14] an attack.
[59:15] >> And as soon as you say that, Chaza comes
[59:17] out with four receivers, two each side
[59:19] all of a sudden goes spread single set
[59:21] back and that's going to be kept by
[59:24] Welter. And he's not going to get much.
[59:26] He doesn't even make it back to the
[59:27] original line of scrimmage. Third and
[59:29] extremely long for the first time
[59:31] tonight for Chaza. And this is exactly
[59:33] the way the Raider defense wanted to
[59:35] come out to start the half.
[59:36] >> A great tackle by Boardman, too. I mean,
[59:39] Borman's a big guy, but this
[59:40] quarterback, you know, makes him look
[59:42] dimminionive, but he gets up under the
[59:43] hood and makes sure that he's got a hold
[59:45] of his legs. He's not going anywhere.
[59:47] Sets up the gang tackle for a well, a
[59:51] play of zero.
[59:52] >> Third and very long. Call it 14. 101 12
[59:55] to go third quarter. Plenty of time for
[59:57] the Raiders. Let's make a big play here
[59:58] and force a fourth down. Out of the
[60:00] shotgun tonight, Welter. Haven't said
[60:02] that much. Back to pass. He's looking,
[60:04] surveying the situation. He'll take off
[60:06] throw over the middle and it's
[60:08] incomplete. Raiders had a man in there.
[60:11] That was number 14 Landon Johnson among
[60:13] a couple of other fellas. But a great
[60:15] job by the Raiders to get pressure
[60:17] eventually and force a bad pass here as
[60:20] Yeah. out of the shotgun. a little more
[60:22] uncomfortable here. And that's the
[60:24] Raiders need to continue to do. Put them
[60:26] behind the chains, make them
[60:28] uncomfortable. Let's get her going in
[60:30] the second half.
[60:31] >> And that was a tight spiral. That really
[60:33] was a a good pass. Maybe not the best
[60:36] route and and catch. Great defense by
[60:39] Hastings, but I mean, this this guy can
[60:40] pass the ball as well as rush the ball.
[60:42] But now, this is really where the game
[60:45] starts here for Hastings.
[60:46] >> Shady back. High punt. Shady leaving.
[60:51] Let it be right there at the 45. Takes a
[60:53] hop. 45 and a 44 and a half. We'll say
[60:57] down.
[60:58] >> All right. Perfect short field for the
[61:00] Raiders in their first offensive drive
[61:02] of the second half as Hastings down 21
[61:05] nothing. Now you have a legitimate
[61:07] opportunity to make some noise here.
[61:08] Milan,
[61:10] >> it's it's now or never. They're there.
[61:13] >> And this is why the turnovers are
[61:14] important. There might not be three
[61:16] Hastings offensive possessions for the
[61:18] remainder of the game unless you create
[61:20] them. You're right.
[61:21] >> But even that notwithstanding, you got
[61:23] to score here and you and really you
[61:25] kind of have to score with haste as
[61:26] well.
[61:27] >> Right.
[61:29] >> Jesuit eats that clock up offensively so
[61:32] efficiently.
[61:34] Raiders work left hash.
[61:37] Hand off to Shady.
[61:40] Looked like he almost had the line of
[61:42] scrimmage and then thrown backwards.
[61:45] And Shann just finding no daylight
[61:47] today. And you know, you have to credit
[61:50] this Chaza defensive attack up front.
[61:52] And again, great push. You just see
[61:54] three guys all there waiting for
[61:57] >> a wouldbe all state running back.
[61:59] >> We could probably blow that plate down a
[62:01] little a little sooner. We don't have to
[62:03] carry him in the air, but you're I mean,
[62:04] you're right. I mean, there is
[62:06] >> the the roads are closed. I mean,
[62:08] there's no lane for this kid to run
[62:10] through.
[62:12] >> Great defensive effort here in this game
[62:14] for Chaza as the Raiders send a man in
[62:17] motion. will pitch out, try to set up a
[62:19] blocker in front of Zack Shadic, and he
[62:21] won't get much.
[62:24] >> Couple maybe.
[62:26] >> I mean, what's what's his long tonight?
[62:28] I mean, five, six yards. I mean,
[62:30] >> nothing over 10. I can tell you that
[62:32] right now for surely nothing over 10.
[62:35] >> And and you know, it's not so much on
[62:36] Shadock or the Raiders, but it's this is
[62:39] a big defense. I mean, you can just look
[62:41] down the line right here. Look at the
[62:42] Raiders. Look at Chaza. Those are those
[62:44] are big players right there. Yeah.
[62:46] Perfect camera work right there. Those
[62:48] are big players. They're smart players,
[62:50] too. And they're just plugging every
[62:51] single hole. There is no lane to run
[62:53] through. It's It's a frustrating team to
[62:56] play.
[62:58] >> Raiders under center. Back to pass.
[63:01] Hansen over the middle. Incomplete.
[63:04] Trying for Matt Foss. Fourth down.
[63:07] Well, that's a bummer. Raiders going for
[63:10] one of their surehanded leaders. And
[63:13] right there it'll f force a punt. And
[63:16] now you know Raiders a minute 30 drive.
[63:19] That won't get the job done here
[63:20] tonight.
[63:21] >> And now Chesa is going to take over the
[63:24] ball. And you better believe they're
[63:25] going to try to go on a a 10-minute
[63:29] drive here. I mean, they have no
[63:31] urgency.
[63:33] They're they're comfortably in the lead
[63:35] here.
[63:37] >> It's it's like we've said, it might it
[63:39] might not be the most exciting play
[63:40] style, but boy is it effective. And it's
[63:42] frustrating too when you're on the
[63:44] receiving end.
[63:45] >> Arnest to punt and another good one. 20
[63:50] takes a hop and a roll. 15 14 13 12 out
[63:53] of bounds. Great punt by Ashton Arnes.
[63:57] And he has been a weapon for the
[63:59] Raiders. And like we said earlier, it's
[64:00] not like we want our weapon to be our
[64:03] punter, but when he's doing a great job,
[64:06] you got to acknowledge it right there.
[64:07] Another terrific punt by Arnest who's
[64:10] not a big fella, but boy, he has good
[64:12] technique, good form, and another great
[64:14] puck.
[64:16] >> He's got a big leg and and more
[64:18] importantly too, when when that ball
[64:19] lands, it keeps rolling away from
[64:21] Hastings. You know, sometimes you get
[64:23] that air time, but if you don't get that
[64:25] dribble time as well, you know that you
[64:27] 10, 15, 20 extra yards depending on how
[64:30] it bounces. I know the field's wet, so
[64:31] that's probably hurting that a little
[64:33] bit, but he's a good punter.
[64:35] [Music]
[64:37] We will watch here from the 10 because
[64:41] this will be the actually the 12 the
[64:42] longest drive
[64:44] >> if they can complete it from Chaza. We
[64:46] got 810 to go. We'll see how much of the
[64:48] clock they use as this will be handed
[64:51] off in the back field off right side.
[64:53] Grey House will get just short of the
[64:57] first down up. They're going to move
[64:58] them. 10yd gate first down. Move the
[65:00] chains.
[65:02] >> Well, at least they've been consistent.
[65:04] They've they've been consistently
[65:07] mildly generous with the with the spots,
[65:09] but all you really care is that if it's
[65:12] if it's equally applied,
[65:13] >> right?
[65:15] >> See if that will continue here of maybe
[65:20] we can get them behind the line of
[65:21] scrimmage. That'd be a great spot to set
[65:23] the ball on second down. We'll see what
[65:24] the Raider defense can do here. Handoff.
[65:26] Bring House again steps across the line,
[65:28] falls ahead, gains another seven. So
[65:31] that running game starting to
[65:33] >> really take a uh oh, we got a big injury
[65:35] here and a big fella nonetheless down
[65:37] and that's the affformentioned number 77
[65:40] Reggie Derek 65 345 junior and he is
[65:43] down and in pain here
[65:47] take a look at one of our sponsors while
[65:49] we have a minute two here for tonight's
[65:51] game and recognize our wonderful
[65:54] community mailman. Where are we eating
[65:57] after the game? Oh, well, we're going to
[65:58] Culver's. HCTV Sports is sponsored by
[66:02] Culver's of Hastings. From savory butter
[66:04] burgers to sweet scoops of frozen
[66:06] custard, we've got something handcrafted
[66:08] for everyone. You can visit us at our
[66:10] location next to Cub Foods in Hastings.
[66:14] >> Butterburg is always good. Patty melt is
[66:16] my favorite. And take a look here and
[66:19] see maybe where the big fella took a
[66:21] shot there. And it looks like just a
[66:24] play between he and the Raiders number
[66:28] 64 on the line there. And we don't have
[66:30] a 64 on our What is going on here today?
[66:33] We got a couple of numbers that were
[66:35] changed on the roster. So, wish we could
[66:37] help you out, folks.
[66:40] >> Unfortunately, that's the the downside
[66:41] to what I was talking about earlier. You
[66:43] know, the both teams this means a lot to
[66:45] both teams and and you know, when
[66:47] they're really into blocking, they're
[66:49] really into winning the blocks. And
[66:50] sometimes you just get torqued like that
[66:53] a little bit.
[66:54] >> We'll take a look at the the section 35A
[66:58] section here.
[67:00] >> Pretty wild right now with the Raiders
[67:02] and St. Thomas towards the top. We've
[67:04] had many years where those two teams
[67:06] have been the top two. Apple Valley at
[67:09] one and one overall. Two Rivers, you
[67:11] know, they lost some some big fellas,
[67:13] some good players on both sides of the
[67:15] football. They are one and one right now
[67:18] in Burnsville who again just continues
[67:20] to shrink in enrollment and they've had
[67:23] some issues with numbers in many of
[67:24] their sports the last few years and have
[67:27] co-op with a couple of different sports.
[67:30] Well, they're at 0 and2 and that's
[67:31] something that, you know, back in the
[67:33] '9s, you know, they were always one of
[67:35] those powerhouses in Dakota County, but
[67:38] now a lot of that has gone to the
[67:40] Lakeville schools. Of course, East View
[67:44] has become a very big team to deal with.
[67:47] And look at that.
[67:48] >> That is the craziest section I've ever
[67:49] seen.
[67:50] >> That no thank you. No way. I mean, come
[67:53] on. That That's Chan, Chaza, Mano East,
[67:57] and West. They throw Wakone in there. I
[67:59] mean, that could be a state championship
[68:02] five right there.
[68:03] >> Chan, Chan Hassan, I believe they're
[68:05] number one. Wakoneia is number seven. in
[68:07] Mano East is number three in 5A, not
[68:10] just the section. That is a murderer's
[68:13] row of a section.
[68:13] >> Of course, we had a home and home with
[68:15] Chan a couple years ago that didn't go
[68:17] very well at all. This not going well
[68:20] either. Handoff up the middle. First
[68:23] down and more.
[68:25] Great house again.
[68:29] 727 to go here. Third quarter play and
[68:33] Greenhouse finding enough room
[68:36] >> to get the first down. It's second down.
[68:39] Now first and 10 again this time from
[68:42] >> the 38.
[68:44] >> You know, one of the benefits to gang
[68:45] tackles that hopefully we can see is
[68:48] that when you're that second and third
[68:49] player in, I'd love to see them try to
[68:51] punch out the ball and maybe try to
[68:52] force a turnover here.
[68:55] seen that a lot in the NFL already this
[68:57] season as Welter takes off running in
[68:59] front of the Raider bench very close to
[69:02] another first down
[69:04] and the big 6'7 in quarterback will get
[69:07] nine and he's just short of the first
[69:09] down as we take a peek again and really
[69:11] just surveys the situation drawn up run
[69:15] and finds enough room to get very close
[69:18] to a first down and really extends the
[69:20] playbook for Chaza being second and very
[69:23] short Maybe this is where you try to
[69:26] sneak in a pass here.
[69:31] >> Only what was it? 25 yardds passing
[69:34] really throughout the year as they have
[69:37] predominantly ran the football and they
[69:39] do there for another first down as great
[69:41] house continues to chew up yards and
[69:44] clock. And this is exactly what Chaza
[69:48] wants to do to teams. to get the lead
[69:49] the second half and then try to loan you
[69:52] to sleep and just take the clock away
[69:54] from you and you're seeing that every
[69:56] play running the play clock down as far
[69:58] as he can
[70:00] >> going at it and you're seeing Chaser
[70:03] again proving to be a top 10 team
[70:05] >> they they are not an air raid team they
[70:07] are not trying to put up 70 points in a
[70:10] game they have a very distinct flavor of
[70:12] football
[70:12] >> and they go I here up the middle great
[70:15] house slips over the 40 yd line gain of
[70:19] the long barrier.
[70:21] >> So if he had not slipped, he might have
[70:23] been sitting in Walgreens right now.
[70:27] >> It looks like Great House
[70:29] >> might have twisted up something on the
[70:32] >> on the fall down.
[70:33] >> Somebody
[70:35] that Chaz needs to lose at all. I mean,
[70:39] Barney lost one of their big bean
[70:40] feeders on the line and now you're going
[70:43] to lose your Aback.
[70:47] >> You know, you want to you want to win
[70:49] this game. I I think if you're Chesca,
[70:51] you feel like this is pretty in control,
[70:54] but you don't want it to be a pirick
[70:55] victory where, you know, you lose four
[70:57] of your starters. You got to wonder if
[70:59] with these two injuries, maybe they
[71:01] start to turn and think maybe we got to
[71:03] put our backups in here to get them some
[71:04] experience and then save for a play.
[71:08] He's got to come out at least one play.
[71:10] He's trying to go back to the huddle.
[71:11] Great house. Looks like he's fine. He'll
[71:13] sit out at least one play and then come
[71:15] back in the game.
[71:20] So, here comes quarterback Matthew
[71:22] Welter. Three rushing touchdowns. All of
[71:24] the scores tonight have been via the QB
[71:27] on the ground. Two short ones and then a
[71:29] 52 yd blast.
[71:33] He has his Hawks under center. Second
[71:35] and three. 21- nothing Hawks lead right
[71:38] to left on your TV screen. Hand off up
[71:40] the middle and uh got about two maybe on
[71:44] that plane. The
[71:47] >> 21 second running back is Belmont
[71:51] wearing the number 21.
[71:57] 537 to go again. Third quarter and Chaza
[72:01] very content here slowing the game down.
[72:06] Slow
[72:08] to the line. Welter. Third down. Call it
[72:11] three. Ball spotted at the Raider 39 yd
[72:14] line.
[72:15] >> Man in motion to the back field. Hand
[72:17] off to the fullback. Nope. Keeping it as
[72:19] Welter and he's gone. 30 20 10 5
[72:23] touchdown. Chasa leads
[72:27] 27 to nothing.
[72:30] That one a 39 yd run
[72:35] >> and that
[72:38] could be all that is broke.
[72:41] And and it's just so typical of Chaza
[72:43] getting four rushing touchdowns by their
[72:45] by their quarterbacks. It's just the
[72:46] epitome of if it's not broke, don't fix
[72:49] it. Everything Chaska does, it's not
[72:51] broke, so they don't fix it. They don't
[72:52] need to pass down the field. They they
[72:54] try a little bit, but I mean, you just
[72:56] let this guy run the ball. You let great
[72:58] house touch the ball, but this guy's
[72:59] your finisher.
[73:01] >> That one kicked with some force through
[73:03] by Lamman. 28 nothing.
[73:09] I've caught myself almost twice calling
[73:11] Lamman Lululemon.
[73:14] So that's that's where I'm at tonight on
[73:16] a Friday as a Raider fan.
[73:18] >> Potential sponsorship right there.
[73:19] >> I think you're right.
[73:21] >> But just look at the He's sneaky fast.
[73:23] He's sneaky powerful. Hit him with that
[73:25] opposite hand. stiff arm right there. I
[73:28] mean,
[73:29] it's it's impressive. It is impressive
[73:31] to to watch what this guy's doing.
[73:36] >> It's impressive, yes, but heartbreaking
[73:39] for Raider fans. I can tell you that
[73:41] much. after the first two weeks went so
[73:44] well. Whether it be an exciting come
[73:46] from behind victory or a thrashing of a
[73:49] road rival
[73:51] >> there there's going to have to be a deep
[73:53] soularching after this game to try to
[73:56] figure out how the rest of the season
[73:57] goes because we know you can play really
[73:58] good football. We know you can battle
[74:00] through adversity. We saw that in Newra
[74:02] game. We know you can blow somebody out.
[74:04] We saw that in the Jefferson game. But
[74:06] there's levels to this and and you're
[74:08] finding out that there's a different
[74:09] level if if you want to have success for
[74:12] the rest of cuz you're playing great
[74:14] teams for the for the rest of the way
[74:16] out too. Mano East and St. Thomas. So
[74:20] maybe you can try to turn this into a
[74:21] silver lining where there's there's a
[74:23] lot to be learned here and you and you
[74:24] just hope that that can be applied later
[74:26] in the season. you know, this game will,
[74:29] you know, I hate to say help Hastings,
[74:31] but to help show them that you have some
[74:35] things to work on before you play
[74:37] another state caliber team like Mano
[74:39] East as this one will be returned by
[74:42] Adriula 20 left side spins 25 and that's
[74:47] where it'll end. The Raiders will start
[74:48] first and 10 left hash at 5 minutes to
[74:50] go here in the third quarter at
[74:52] Toddfield and the score is 28 to
[74:56] nothing. Chas
[74:59] the return for the Raiders.
[75:01] >> A lot of
[75:04] things that the Raiders just can't
[75:08] control and sometimes you just can't
[75:11] control a great defensive ball club that
[75:14] is in the top 10 in the state of
[75:16] Minnesota.
[75:17] >> 28 yd return. Raiders will begin first
[75:20] and 10 at their own 25.
[75:21] >> Matt Foss a split out wide to the left
[75:23] for Hastings.
[75:25] Two wing backs set up off the right set
[75:28] back single in the back. Shady will
[75:32] throw the screen right side. Nice setup
[75:34] there. 30 35 first down. Close to it
[75:38] anyway. Shady on the screen pass. And
[75:40] don't see too many screens out of
[75:42] Hastings, but that might be a way to
[75:43] open things up and extend it while still
[75:45] keeping Shady involved.
[75:47] >> Took the words right out of my mouth.
[75:48] Maybe you should see it a little more,
[75:50] especially when you're just getting
[75:51] smothered. It's hard to run to the edge.
[75:53] But if you can get a screen like that, I
[75:55] mean, you just got to get the ball in
[75:57] this guy's hands and and like you said,
[75:59] sometimes if you're going up against
[76:00] against a great defense, there's things
[76:02] you can't control. But I like that
[76:04] they're still trying to get creative
[76:06] with with this offense.
[76:07] >> If you get the secondary to bite on a on
[76:10] a fake screen, right, where you might
[76:12] get a a corner, Shady gets a couple
[76:15] where you get one of the the safeties
[76:17] maybe overcommitting towards the front,
[76:19] thinking that screen is coming. They
[76:21] overcommit then leaving somebody open
[76:24] deep on the backside for Hansen to hit.
[76:26] So that might have just put a little
[76:28] something extra in the brains as we take
[76:30] a peek at the last play once again for
[76:31] the Raiders as we set up second down in
[76:35] about six.
[76:37] >> No question. And and I I have no idea if
[76:39] they've ever practiced this. But, you
[76:41] know, with all the attention with with
[76:43] Shadock, I mean, maybe you try a
[76:45] halfback pass. You get the screen up to
[76:46] Shadic. Everybody comes in and kind of
[76:48] like the same principle you were saying.
[76:51] >> Shady takes the hand off, gets outside,
[76:53] holds coming up too. That's going to go
[76:55] back
[76:56] >> and Raiders getting a handful of a Chesa
[77:01] player and that's going to send Hastings
[77:05] backwards.
[77:07] >> That was a dangerous throw of a penalty
[77:09] flag right there. Reminds me of Orlando
[77:11] Brown senior. They were they were
[77:13] throwing that at I don't think I
[77:16] understand you want to get the flag as
[77:17] close to where the infraction was, but I
[77:19] think
[77:21] >> I don't I don't think we have to get
[77:22] that close. I I I think you could drop a
[77:24] flag. Orlando Brown back in the early
[77:27] 2000s was hit in the eye with a flag and
[77:31] it didn't cost him uh part of his vision
[77:35] in the eye where he got hit and it ended
[77:39] up being a very large legal kurfuffle
[77:42] towards the end of his career. Now his
[77:44] son I believe is playing trying to think
[77:47] where he plays or what he plays.
[77:51] >> He's kind of moved around a little bit.
[77:52] >> Yep.
[77:54] Two receivers, a wing back set up, two
[77:58] screen to Shadic. Nice block by Burkin
[78:01] will free him up for a couple yards, but
[78:03] we're looking at third super long here
[78:05] with 413 to go. Third quarter.
[78:09] >> And you know that Welter is sitting on
[78:11] the sidelines, licking his chops,
[78:13] looking to equal Shad's five touchdowns
[78:16] one week ago. third down.
[78:18] >> You know, for sure in the leadup to this
[78:20] game, all that they heard about, all
[78:21] this, all the tape they studied was
[78:23] about Shadock and his five touchdowns.
[78:24] Yeah, I would have to believe that he
[78:26] would love nothing more than to get five
[78:28] rushing touchdowns on the road here at
[78:31] McNamera.
[78:33] >> And again, just kind of an anomaly, a 67
[78:36] QB, and he can run a little bit enough
[78:39] to be extremely dangerous. This time
[78:41] Shadic breaks one across the 35 like
[78:45] spears himself ahead for another couple
[78:47] of yards. But now you're looking at
[78:50] fourth and very long. So the Raiders
[78:53] again will come out in punt formation
[78:55] down 28. as we take a look again and you
[78:58] know nice burst, nice vision, but you
[79:02] can see Shady trying to shoulder the
[79:03] whole load himself and he needs a little
[79:06] bit of help if he's going to make some
[79:09] impact plays.
[79:11] [Applause]
[79:13] >> Arnes at the 25,
[79:17] ball at the 38.
[79:20] Snap good Arnes left footed boot and
[79:23] another spiral. This one with some
[79:26] velocity and that's going to bring it
[79:27] inside the 10. Picked up at the 8 yd
[79:30] line across the 10 to the 15 down at the
[79:33] 18 yd line.
[79:36] The Chesco Hawks will start right there.
[79:39] First down and 10. 244 to go here.
[79:43] >> If Chaza scores and adds any type of
[79:46] extra point, it will be running clock in
[79:49] the fourth quarter.
[79:50] >> I didn't want to say it, but we all know
[79:52] it's uh we all know it's true. That was
[79:54] a pretty good return there for Chaza.
[79:56] All things considered, that was yet
[79:58] another monster punt by by Arnes.
[80:02] >> Now, if we could give a player of the
[80:04] game so far for Hastings, number one
[80:06] would definitely be that.
[80:10] >> Here's the big fella under center,
[80:13] Matthew Welter. Number nine. Hands off
[80:16] on the trap up the middle and one man to
[80:19] get him. Otherwise, that was a touchdown
[80:22] and a long one at that.
[80:24] Raiders look like Thompson got his hand
[80:26] in there towards the end of it. We'll
[80:28] take a peek at the replay and see how
[80:30] this thing rounded out on a little
[80:32] fullback trap. Haven't seen too much of
[80:34] that stuff tonight either.
[80:36] >> Yeah, whoever the safety or the corner
[80:37] was on that far side just saved, you
[80:40] know, about an 80 yardd touchdown run
[80:42] right there that he was he was thinking
[80:44] he once he saw the the the Red Sea split
[80:47] there, he was he was thinking end zone
[80:48] all the way.
[80:49] >> 209 clock runs. Third quarter, 28-
[80:51] nothing Hawks on the road here at Ton
[80:53] Field in Hastings. Handoff goes out
[80:56] right side again. Another gain of four,
[80:57] maybe five, bending the spot with two
[81:00] minutes to go. Smith carrying the
[81:02] football again on that fullback trap
[81:05] type play. Not as much option now here.
[81:08] You know, you saw a lot of option in the
[81:09] first half. Now it's been a lot of power
[81:12] and eye and some of that stuff too that
[81:15] they seem very comfortable running here
[81:17] in the second half. And I always got to
[81:19] credit credit Welter too. I mean, you
[81:21] know, he's he's big, he's strong, he's
[81:22] sneaky, fast, but he's also really good
[81:24] at selling the play as well, and that's
[81:26] kind of led to some of the success
[81:28] they've had.
[81:30] >> My guess at 67 is he also plays
[81:32] basketball.
[81:34] Chaza fans might have to correct me if
[81:36] I'm wrong and comment on our YouTube
[81:39] stream. Uh but he uh you'd think like I
[81:44] said all of Zack Reedman with Forest
[81:46] Lake all those years just a maybe a
[81:48] multi-sport kid and but boy he looks the
[81:51] part I'll tell you that much at 67 even
[81:55] >> I'm just trying to think of quarterbacks
[81:56] in the NFL that that were that tall like
[81:59] a Mike Lennon maybe I mean but he wasn't
[82:01] very
[82:03] well known if you will in the 2000s.
[82:07] Pitch out right side goes to the running
[82:10] uh the wide receiver. They're going to
[82:12] throw him ahead for a first down though
[82:14] as taking the run is 81. And that's Luke
[82:19] Racer. It's his second carry tonight.
[82:21] And unfortunately, as you look at the
[82:24] >> play here, they throw him ahead on the
[82:26] tackle and it gives him a first down.
[82:28] >> That's just the kind kind of night Chaza
[82:30] has been having. I think the only recent
[82:32] comparison to Minnesota football, I
[82:34] believe it's a Chase Thompson. He was a
[82:37] 67 quarterback. He could kind of run a
[82:39] little bit for I think Alexandria, but
[82:41] he went to go play, he was a four-star
[82:42] basketball recruit and he went to go
[82:44] play, I believe he plays at Clemson.
[82:46] Now,
[82:47] >> you Chaza fans also might have to help
[82:49] me and tell me if Spencer Tixson was
[82:52] ever a football player because I always
[82:55] found it crazy that there was a 6'9,
[82:57] 6'10 in pitcher that played baseball and
[83:00] that was Tikken. He was fantastic for so
[83:03] many years pitching for Chaza, but of
[83:06] course went on to play basketball the
[83:08] University of Minnesota. But I'm curious
[83:11] if Tikson also played football. That
[83:13] would be something that would be quite
[83:14] interesting. But that will have to wait
[83:16] for another time. We break at the end of
[83:19] the third quarter. The Hawks leading the
[83:22] Raiders 28- nothing after three quarters
[83:25] on HCTV.
[83:37] >> The United Heroes League mainly uses
[83:39] sports as a bridge to help military
[83:41] families stay active and engaged in
[83:42] their communities. We have over 40
[83:44] professional teams that partner with us
[83:46] for free tickets and camps. We provide
[83:49] access to free sporting equipment.
[83:51] >> UHL has provided us with a lot of
[83:53] equipment and a lot of gear that is
[83:54] otherwise sometimes hard to attain.
[83:56] >> It's really cool. I get all this free
[83:58] stuff and it's because of my great dad
[84:01] who is a veteran.
[84:04] >> UHL has been a great supporter not just
[84:07] for our family but for all the military
[84:09] families.
[84:11] We're excited to see what the future
[84:12] holds. We can't wait to see where it
[84:14] goes
[84:16] >> back live on a Friday. If you're
[84:19] watching along on TV back home or on
[84:22] YouTube on Friday the 12th, we welcome
[84:25] you back.
[84:27] >> No gain on the play.
[84:28] >> No gain. I I like saying that. Third
[84:32] down and the Raider defense makes a nice
[84:35] play there with 1142 to go here. But
[84:37] like you and I were just mentioning off
[84:38] the air man a touchdown an extra point
[84:40] here that can move the clock and really
[84:42] put the Raiders out of it for good.
[84:46] Wing T receivers to each side
[84:52] under center. Oh that looked like
[84:54] someone moved. I was going to say that
[84:55] just didn't look right.
[84:58] Penalty against Chaz will move him back
[85:00] to about the original line of scrimmage.
[85:02] So let's make a play here. I mean, we
[85:04] need something to get us jacked up about
[85:06] next week, you know? Let's make a couple
[85:08] plays and at least make this thing look
[85:10] interesting here.
[85:11] >> I mean, nobody wants to hear me say
[85:13] this, and it is sappy. But, I mean, you
[85:15] really are playing for pride at this
[85:17] point. You really are playing for next
[85:18] week.
[85:19] >> You know, you don't
[85:21] you you've lost this game. I I'd be as
[85:24] surprised as I've ever been if they came
[85:25] back in this game. But, you're still
[85:27] playing for pride. You're still playing
[85:28] to learn. You're still playing to get
[85:29] better. you know, you still have to go
[85:31] out there and put forth a respectable
[85:33] effort, which I think which I think
[85:35] they'll do obviously, but you know, it's
[85:37] it's true. You're not going to you're
[85:38] probably not going to win them all.
[85:40] >> And over 20ome years between coaches
[85:42] Majesky and Strain over the years and
[85:44] Saturday morning coaches shows Perkins
[85:46] on the radio side of things that this
[85:49] team never quits and they never have
[85:50] quit under either coach. It's just how
[85:52] it is a short run. We'll bring up fourth
[85:54] down and the Raiders get a little W
[85:56] here. That's a little slice of something
[85:58] nice as now Hastings will force a
[86:01] punting situation. Great tackle too
[86:03] right around the line wrapping him up.
[86:05] But again, even though wrapping him up,
[86:08] still gaining a couple yards. I mean,
[86:09] that's just how tough this JSA team is.
[86:12] >> I was just going to say that's why that
[86:13] penalty is so valuable cuz if it was if
[86:15] it was third and five, I mean, he might
[86:17] have dragged himself for a first down.
[86:19] But yeah, that's just that's just how
[86:20] they play. But let's just see something
[86:22] here. Let's see a spark. Let's get the
[86:24] goose egg off the board. Let's let's do
[86:26] anything here. Let's play for for next
[86:28] week. You
[86:29] >> know, a guy who's back there can really
[86:31] make something happen. And Shadex's
[86:33] going to take a line drive punt. 25 to
[86:35] the 30 ahead to the 34. Look like helmet
[86:38] to helmet maybe. I don't know.
[86:39] >> On the punt returners.
[86:42] >> The Raiders will start at the 35. Let's
[86:44] score a touchdown here.
[86:45] >> This is an interesting punt return
[86:47] because there's 10 Chesco Hawks in the
[86:49] vicinity and you're not going to see a
[86:51] single Raider. I mean, just doesn't even
[86:53] look It looks like a game show or
[86:54] something. Where's the Where's the
[86:55] Raiders blockers?
[86:58] >> Oh, you're going to need a block here.
[87:00] I'll tell you that much. The ball first
[87:03] and 10 at the 34 yd line their own.
[87:06] We're under 10 minutes to play in
[87:09] regulation. Dare I say the game. Yes, I
[87:11] do.
[87:13] >> Good shot there of the the Chaska crowd
[87:15] coming out. It was well worth it.
[87:17] >> Shotgun Hansen. Ball is tipped at the
[87:21] line.
[87:24] incomplete,
[87:25] but that's the first time Raiders have
[87:27] ran shotgun this evening.
[87:30] So maybe trying to open it up, spread it
[87:34] out, get the ball out maybe a little
[87:36] quicker with a little more time. Maybe
[87:39] >> sometimes there's a novelty to running
[87:41] different offensive formations. We
[87:43] really saw that in the new Bragg game
[87:44] where they they on a single drive, they
[87:46] came out in like five different
[87:48] offensive formations.
[87:49] >> It was Yep. At at the high school level,
[87:52] it's it's hard to be good at even one
[87:54] style of offense.
[87:55] >> Playbooks are not easy, folks. Back to
[87:57] pass. Hansen left side overthrew it.
[88:01] >> Yeah, that just
[88:04] >> little rushed. Hagen was close, but
[88:08] again, just too quick, too much
[88:12] happy feet in the pocket there.
[88:17] Third and 10. Not much clock has come
[88:20] off either.
[88:21] >> They're so they're so close to showing
[88:22] the pirate ship.
[88:24] >> Oh yeah.
[88:24] >> Oh, we're so close. There it is. There
[88:26] it is. There it is back there. Yeah.
[88:29] >> Our goal as a broadcast team is to
[88:31] either broadcast a game from in there or
[88:33] >> have a slumber party.
[88:34] >> Slumber party and pizza.
[88:36] >> We'll let you know how that develops.
[88:39] Third and 10. Handoff Shadic. He gets
[88:43] three out of bounds and two flags come
[88:45] in. And that looks like something
[88:47] against Hastings considering to where
[88:49] the flag came from.
[88:52] Oh boy, it's been one of those evenings.
[88:56] I think the Raiders tomorrow, Saturday,
[89:00] you know, it's going to be about 90. You
[89:04] know, I'm going to team little team
[89:06] bonding session. Go out to the beach.
[89:08] You know, get the boys together, bring
[89:10] the football out or the volleyball out.
[89:12] Shake this thing off. Let's get back to
[89:15] doing what we've done the last two
[89:16] weeks. I know this isn't fun, but again,
[89:19] you're playing a top 10 team, fans. For
[89:21] those that are going, why is it 28
[89:24] nothing? Well, you're playing a top 10
[89:25] team. That was actually not against the
[89:27] Raiders. Are you kidding me? That's that
[89:28] that was against Ches.
[89:31] >> Well, all right then.
[89:32] >> The Raiders certainly thought that was
[89:33] going to be
[89:34] >> against Well, they're declining it. And
[89:37] now the Raiders will have the punts.
[89:39] >> Okay. Well, that makes more sense.
[89:41] >> Yeah, you're going to have to have a
[89:42] short memory with this. I mean, you're
[89:44] on the road next week against Apple
[89:45] Valley. That's
[89:46] >> to put it nicely a
[89:48] >> in Rosemont, by the way.
[89:50] >> Yeah, in Rosemont 7:00.
[89:52] >> That's probably probably a little step
[89:54] down in competition. So, you know, the
[89:57] Raiders, they they could be three in
[89:58] one. You got to put this one past you.
[90:00] >> You're exactly right. Short memory. Find
[90:03] a way to do some fun stuff here in the
[90:04] final 947. Oh, no. After some beauties
[90:09] tonight, Arnest Shanks one. And that
[90:12] might not have even gotten back to the
[90:14] midfield strike. Oh boy.
[90:16] >> You could just see that unfolding in re
[90:18] in real time. The the the point of the
[90:21] ball was when he dropped it was just all
[90:24] messed up. Luckily, it's not going to
[90:26] make too much of a a difference in in in
[90:28] this game. It's not close enough to
[90:30] matter. He's had a tremendous four or
[90:33] five punts up up until that, but
[90:36] sometimes that happens. H it just feels
[90:39] like it's been that type of night for
[90:42] our Raiders.
[90:45] >> And again, I think they were a little
[90:47] generous on on this spot as well.
[90:52] >> The generosity
[90:54] has been nice for us because we kind of
[90:57] needed it to be honest, but I don't
[90:58] think Jaz needed any help this evening,
[91:00] leading 28- nothing. Four rushing
[91:03] touchdowns by the quarterback Welters.
[91:05] This one up the middle. Oh, he almost
[91:06] lost that football.
[91:08] >> But still a gain of about 10. And that
[91:10] should be another first down. And the
[91:12] Raiders have an injured player. Oh no.
[91:14] >> And it's Derek Borman. And he is
[91:16] grabbing his knee. That is not a cramp.
[91:19] >> That is not a cramp. Maybe this will be
[91:22] a good time to take a peek at one of our
[91:24] supporters here of Hastings Community
[91:26] Television. As again, we can't do it
[91:29] without you folks out there. And if you
[91:31] are a business, make sure you get back
[91:32] to us at HCTV. What's one of our
[91:35] favorite businesses in town, Mr.
[91:37] Mailman?
[91:37] >> Well, outside of Culver's, it's the the
[91:39] Spoolhouse, who is a proud sponsor of
[91:42] HCTV Sports. From prom to weddings, let
[91:45] us suit your formal wear needs. More
[91:46] information is available at
[91:47] thespoolhouse.com/soing.html.
[91:53] >> Maybe I need a blue and gold cor next
[91:56] week.
[91:56] >> And speaking of Culver, we're we're also
[91:58] supported by Culver. A twofer right
[92:00] here.
[92:00] >> Oh boy.
[92:01] >> We're supported by Culver's as well. So
[92:02] that's where we'll be going after the
[92:03] game. Culvers of Hastings, from savory
[92:06] butter burgers to sweet scoops of frozen
[92:07] custard, we've got something handcrafted
[92:09] for everyone. You can visit us at our
[92:11] location next to Cub Foods in Hastings.
[92:13] >> Not just the regular flavors, too, but
[92:15] they have a flavor of the day, folks.
[92:16] And like it incorporates like any kind
[92:19] of candy, yummies, you know, extras that
[92:23] go in there, you know? It's really cool.
[92:25] Let's take a look and see. Maybe we
[92:27] could find out where Borman got pinched.
[92:30] Oh, he got just absolutely obliterated
[92:33] by a 300lb lineman and got kind of
[92:36] rolled up upon, but it looked like he
[92:39] was grabbing above his knee, which never
[92:42] is a good sign.
[92:44] >> Well, and we we talk a lot about the 345
[92:47] lb offensive lineman being a big and he
[92:49] is a big boy, but there's this is a mass
[92:52] this is a college this is a division
[92:53] three division two sized offensive line.
[92:56] These are are real big players and if
[92:58] they roll up on you it's, you know,
[93:01] Boardman's 200 lb, but yeah, sometimes
[93:04] when it's when it's like that,
[93:07] >> it's not good.
[93:08] >> Oh, hi.
[93:11] >> Max has us see all blue and golded out
[93:14] tonight like usual. You guys wouldn't
[93:16] think anything else of your favorite
[93:18] Raider voice being all
[93:21] >> if I got the gold.
[93:22] >> But I'm not I'm not I'm not That's true.
[93:25] Here, we'll we'll switch. This makes a
[93:26] little more sense.
[93:27] >> There. There we go. Now it's better. But
[93:30] I just want to say hi to everybody back
[93:31] home. Hi, Dallas. Hopefully you're at
[93:33] home. I know my little buddy, he's had a
[93:36] little bit of illness he's had to
[93:37] overcome this week. So, he's at home
[93:38] tonight with mama watching the Raiders.
[93:41] So, I want to send a special hello to my
[93:43] little buddy back home. Can't wait to go
[93:44] fishing with you all weekend.
[93:47] >> Special shout out to Captain Cadet and
[93:51] uh one of the other dogs. I'm blanking
[93:54] on the name, but they're watching the
[93:55] game, too, from Cottage Grove.
[93:56] >> All right, it's doggy night in the
[94:00] Grove. Belmont will get a couple here.
[94:02] 9:23 to go. Clock will tick, tick, tick,
[94:05] tick, tick. And every single time the
[94:08] white and purple fellas get up off the
[94:10] pile. There's Big Matthew Welter to give
[94:12] each of them a little five. And hey,
[94:15] man, we're doing exactly what we wanted
[94:17] to on the road tonight. His Chesa team
[94:19] is a powerhouse fans and any team that
[94:23] they play the rest of the season,
[94:25] they're they're going to have their
[94:26] hands full. I don't care if it's one of
[94:28] the Mano schools. I don't care if it's I
[94:30] don't care who it is. They're going to
[94:32] have their hands full with Chesa as it
[94:34] seems the last few years since they've
[94:36] become their own school. They have been
[94:39] wing team out and in motion to the back
[94:41] field. They have the fullback trap wide
[94:44] open spaces up across the 15 to the 10
[94:47] called the 8 yd line and it looks like
[94:51] they have their closer in the game now
[94:54] is Smith. Another big carry. And now
[94:57] Smith's got to be close to 50 yds
[94:59] tonight as he gets a nice run there and
[95:02] a good tackle from behind as the Raiders
[95:05] had a guy there and Landon Johnson.
[95:09] >> Well, Tuck, how about this? Next week
[95:11] they're playing Mano East who we've
[95:12] mentioned. They're number three. Then
[95:14] they're on the road at Mano West. Then
[95:16] they come home to play Chanhassen who's
[95:18] number one on the road at Wakonia who's
[95:20] number seven. And then they finish off
[95:22] against the familiar foe on the road
[95:24] against Newrag who they're 0 and2. But I
[95:26] mean we saw here you know they're
[95:28] they're a live dog as well.
[95:29] >> They get those big running backs
[95:31] cooking. That could be a game that takes
[95:33] 14 minutes to play and that's it.
[95:35] There's a sack for the Raiders. Bicil
[95:38] joined in the party there by an on
[95:41] streaking Raider in number 11 Case and
[95:43] Aster. So give them each a half a sack
[95:46] and the Raiders first sack tonight comes
[95:49] here in the fourth quarter. Great time
[95:52] for it. But now you look at second down
[95:54] and goal. And this team has had zero
[95:57] fear no matter what the down has been
[95:59] inside the red zone tonight.
[96:02] >> And there's really been no opportunities
[96:04] for sacks either. I mean, they've been
[96:06] running the ball 80% of the time when
[96:08] they pass the ball. They got great great
[96:10] pass protection, and you know, they're
[96:12] not they're not taking 8 seconds to
[96:13] throw the ball either.
[96:15] >> We have a new quarterback in the game.
[96:17] So, that will do it for this evening for
[96:20] Matthew Welter, who will finish with
[96:21] four rushing touchdowns and over 100
[96:23] yardds on the ground. The handoff here
[96:26] goes to Belmont. Again, the new
[96:29] quarterback for Chesca is number 18.
[96:32] That's Joseph Scott. And get this,
[96:34] 61,153. This kid's a freshman, folks.
[96:37] I'm telling you, this these teams on the
[96:40] west side of the suburbs, they are not
[96:42] afraid to start these kids as freshman.
[96:45] And even though it's a late in the game
[96:47] to get a quarterback on a Friday night
[96:49] getting experience, this is so huge for
[96:51] those guys.
[96:54] Under center, Wing T again, single back.
[96:56] Belmont gets the carry. He'll go across
[96:59] the fifth. I'll throw him back across
[97:01] the 15. We'll see where the spot goes.
[97:03] Right on the the 11 when everything's
[97:05] said and done.
[97:06] >> So, you're saying he's 6'1 as a
[97:08] freshman? I mean, there's plenty of time
[97:10] to become 67 as a senior.
[97:11] >> No kidding, dude. There's no beating
[97:14] around that big bush. And the Raiders
[97:17] here tonight have seen Welter run just
[97:20] in touchdown yardage alone
[97:24] for 94
[97:27] yards. I mean, that's just on his
[97:29] touchdowns.
[97:31] So, Welter, a game for him to remember,
[97:34] no doubt, on the road. He will enjoy the
[97:37] rest of this one from a co a cozy spot
[97:39] next to his coach on the sideline. 6
[97:42] minutes to go. Smith the back in the
[97:44] back field gets joined by Belmont. Smith
[97:46] will be the one to take it and he'll get
[97:48] about a yard, maybe two. And the Raiders
[97:52] will take the football back on Downs.
[97:54] and Chesa being very sportsmanesque
[97:57] saying there's no reason to rub it in
[98:00] and start that clock running. Hey
[98:02] Raiders, we're going to give you another
[98:03] drive with the clock of stoppage time.
[98:06] And that's kind of nice. Raiders can get
[98:08] a chance to come on do a little
[98:10] something here offensively. And it looks
[98:12] like they too are going to well they're
[98:15] not going to switch up too much here.
[98:16] Birkkins out there. N Yeah, we got
[98:19] pretty much everybody out there. Let's
[98:21] see if Shady can maybe this is where
[98:23] Shady breaks that big one we were
[98:24] talking about.
[98:26] >> It would be cathartic to see it.
[98:28] >> Well, if he gets 90 here, he's got 100
[98:30] yards tonight. There he goes breaking
[98:31] one tackle. 15 1617. Nice little run on
[98:35] first down for Shaney. Gained about six.
[98:38] [Music]
[98:41] >> Shane such a fun kid. I watched his
[98:44] interview this past week with Randy
[98:47] Shaver on the strip prep steel and he's
[98:52] such a wellspoken young man. I mean,
[98:54] playing as a sophomore last year, he
[98:55] grew on the fly and we watched him grow
[98:58] and over a thousand yards, but now
[99:00] realizing he's a leader and like I said,
[99:02] so well spoken and smart young man and
[99:05] just so excited to see not only the rest
[99:07] of this year, but next year and beyond.
[99:09] What he will do is he breaks through and
[99:11] he finds room 40 midfield
[99:15] by Shady Shadic. And there it is. He
[99:18] goes 83 to the house and guess what? his
[99:22] third straight 100yard game this year
[99:26] and he broke the big daddy
[99:29] at a baby. Shady, way to put the team on
[99:32] your back, find the seam and off he went
[99:37] with 501 to go. Shady to the house. It's
[99:41] good to see that the Raiders are still
[99:43] trying. The offense is showing signs of
[99:45] life all you know little too late but
[99:48] you know you're you're playing for next
[99:49] week. you're playing for the rest of the
[99:50] season. And yeah, man, it feels good to
[99:52] see him cuz, you know, he's been trying
[99:54] real hard on some of these carries, but
[99:56] there's just nowhere to go. There's
[99:58] nowhere to go except backwards on on
[100:00] some of these plays. So, to to see that
[100:02] here, Weber kick. Yes.
[100:08] 28-7.
[100:10] And a hat tip to Chaza, too, because
[100:12] like we said, fans, they could have
[100:14] found a way to run that clock out on the
[100:16] Raiders. and instead Shady 83. Look at
[100:20] him just plow through there. And as soon
[100:23] as he pinled off three wouldbe tacklers,
[100:27] it was off to Walgreens.
[100:29] >> And Shaney finds the soccer goals of the
[100:32] sign of the cross to thank the man above
[100:35] with 501 to go.
[100:37] >> You are not gonna arm tackle him. I
[100:38] don't care how many arms you have. I
[100:40] don't care if you have four arms.
[100:41] There's the beautiful
[100:43] >> grid iron the uh the pirate ship there.
[100:45] That's where me and Shady Shadic are
[100:47] going to be celebrating later for that
[100:49] touchdown. But yeah, you're you you
[100:52] could have eight arms. You're not you're
[100:53] not taking him down. You have to bring
[100:54] him down through the ground. That's what
[100:56] I think people appreciate appreciate
[100:58] about him the the most outside of
[100:59] obviously the greatness is every single
[101:02] play is not over until he is firmly on
[101:05] the ground. And even even down four
[101:07] scores, you still see that.
[101:10] He's so fun to watch. And when he gets
[101:13] into open space and he turns on that
[101:15] jetpack,
[101:17] >> oh my.
[101:19] >> Selfishly, I'm I'm really hoping the
[101:20] Gophers end up taking a a look at this
[101:23] guy.
[101:24] >> Yeah, I I really would like to see that
[101:26] myself. I know there are some smaller D1
[101:30] schools that have even reached out to
[101:32] me. Yes. tell your TV guy asking about
[101:36] statistics and asking about him himself
[101:40] and you know I mean when you start
[101:42] getting calls as the TV broadcaster guy
[101:46] and you know that this guy's special and
[101:49] and and and there are people that are
[101:51] going to look at him usually your junior
[101:53] year is that big year when it comes to
[101:55] recruiting to make a decision perhaps I
[101:58] know kids love to get that decision out
[102:00] of the way timeout by the way on the
[102:01] field folks before the kick but Um but
[102:04] but to just find a way to to you know
[102:06] continue everything the way that we've
[102:08] been doing things and you know it's an
[102:10] important thing I think for this whole
[102:11] Raider program and really everybody else
[102:13] that comes to watch these kids every
[102:15] week.
[102:17] >> Yeah. You you really get the sense that
[102:18] he's a special a special kid and at at
[102:21] you know at the very least he's going to
[102:23] be
[102:24] >> probably doing something special at the
[102:25] at the next level as well.
[102:29] I know I've gotten to know his mom and
[102:31] dad on social media more than anything.
[102:33] I want to run into them actually, but
[102:35] they're just so well behind him. And
[102:37] that that's what I love about Hastings
[102:39] is, you know, we all love to speak well
[102:43] about each other's kids in this
[102:44] community. And that's going to be a
[102:46] pretty good kickoff because it's
[102:48] actually going to be taken on a knee at
[102:49] the 20 on a knee. So that's where Chaza
[102:52] will have to start with her twos. 5
[102:54] minutes to go here in a 28-7 Chesa lead
[102:57] over the Raiders. But hey, you and I
[103:00] both said, "Let's build something for
[103:01] next week. Let's get something to go
[103:03] here for for for for Apple Valley to
[103:05] take us into the weekend." You know, and
[103:07] we're not done. I mean, we make another
[103:09] play here and get the ball back. You
[103:10] make this two-score game, I'm not going
[103:13] to be mad at it. I'm just not. I mean,
[103:14] if we would have went down 35 nothing
[103:16] there and the clock would have ran down
[103:18] and been good night Irene, I would have
[103:19] had different feelings. But hey, like
[103:21] coach Strain has always said, our team
[103:24] plays until the final buzzer, and we've
[103:26] seen that tonight.
[103:27] >> It's the It's the yin and the yang. You
[103:28] got to find the positive and the
[103:30] negative and the negative and the
[103:31] positive. And you know, just cuz you're
[103:32] you're going to lose this one doesn't
[103:33] mean that, you know, you can't take some
[103:35] momentum forward.
[103:36] >> Fumble picked back up again. Smith had
[103:38] it, lost it, finds his bearings, and
[103:41] actually gains a couple yards out of
[103:43] that. Raiders almost got that ball back
[103:46] down near the red zone. Let's take a
[103:48] peek at this again as Smith got it and
[103:50] kind of juggled it a little bit. Maybe
[103:53] not a clean hand off, but you find a way
[103:56] to make a little do with what you have
[103:58] with your twos in with the offensive
[104:00] line. That's a pretty good run for that
[104:02] young man.
[104:02] >> That's the most Chaza thing I've ever
[104:04] seen. Fumbling the ball for a game.
[104:08] >> Oh, it's a good team.
[104:10] >> Best back home watching too. We will be
[104:14] hoping for you guys another fumble. The
[104:16] Raiders get this one back. Ball still
[104:17] loose. Who's got it? Raiders got it.
[104:19] Raiders just got a football back, didn't
[104:21] they? Yes. Hastings football. Yeah.
[104:26] Yeah.
[104:28] All right. Let's go do it again, boys.
[104:30] You're knocking on the door. They
[104:32] threaten to fumble at last play. This
[104:33] time they do. Let's take a peek at this
[104:35] again. It looked like just a a
[104:37] mishandled snap. Yeah, sure. It was off
[104:39] the fingertips. little little buttered
[104:41] popcorn before he went out there like uh
[104:43] Brucey used to say in uh
[104:46] >> what's that movie called again? Darn it.
[104:47] Why the longest yard Brucey? He'd fumble
[104:50] the ball and he said, "I just had
[104:51] popcorn." Well, that might have been
[104:52] what happened there.
[104:54] >> Well, it it's no coincidence that
[104:55] there's two consecutive fles there's
[104:58] something going on. what they're
[105:00] research something of miscommunication
[105:02] or somehow I mean it's yeah you don't uh
[105:07] >> there could
[105:08] you know we'll just be glad the camera
[105:10] was not pointing at you
[105:11] >> no I mean Garrett Bradberry that's all I
[105:13] have to say pass up into the end zone
[105:15] touchdown Raiders Matt Foss gets back
[105:19] behind the coverage and we're not done
[105:23] yet
[105:25] 23 yd touchdown pass Hansen one of his
[105:29] best passes of the year.
[105:31] >> And he connects to Mattie Foss. Let's
[105:34] take a peek here. Nice little slant.
[105:37] Matty finds his way to the right side
[105:40] behind the coverage. What a grab. Good
[105:42] adjustment to make it 2813.
[105:45] >> This kid Hansen is so good at throwing
[105:47] on the run for for his experience. It's
[105:50] unreal. Weber hits it. All of a sudden,
[105:54] we have a twocore game.
[105:56] is good
[105:57] >> at 2814.
[106:00] >> Nice little boot from Weber.
[106:02] >> Well, now this game starts to feel
[106:04] really different in terms of taking
[106:06] away, you know, positive takeaways.
[106:08] You're starting to show something here.
[106:09] You you you wish this would have came
[106:11] maybe in the third quarter
[106:12] >> or something. It might be it's probably
[106:14] a little too late here. They might have
[106:16] woken up uh the Hawks here. You got to
[106:19] figure that they they flipped back on
[106:21] here. But it's it's good to see that
[106:23] they're
[106:25] still strumming along or starting to
[106:27] strum along for the first time tonight.
[106:29] We'll take another look at the the
[106:31] touchdown pass here again. Just
[106:34] beautiful. Look at on a rope,
[106:35] >> man. And and he he didn't have both feet
[106:38] on the ground. I mean, that was not an
[106:39] easy pass, but he like you said, Hansom
[106:42] makes it look easy when he moves on the
[106:44] run on those, you know, either boots or
[106:46] or roll outs or whatever. and he has
[106:50] found success with it. I mean, a couple
[106:52] of passes that found their way weirdly
[106:54] to Lundstrom actually were were very
[106:57] important at the time. Now, we have an
[106:59] opportunity down two scores, 415 to go.
[107:03] Jasica's probably want to go back to I
[107:05] don't want to say their old offensive
[107:06] people, but at least have a possession
[107:08] like that to take the clock away now
[107:12] when
[107:13] we will have a reine,
[107:16] >> you know, and and it see and it seems
[107:18] like it's about decision making for
[107:20] Hansen, not not the physical ability or
[107:22] the technique cuz he's got he's starting
[107:23] to get that down real nice.
[107:25] >> High on side this kick. Yep. And it was
[107:29] that's a very good decision by the
[107:32] Raider coaching staff to at least give
[107:34] that an opportunity. Good effort there
[107:37] by Weber trying the onside kick. And
[107:40] let's take a look at the bounce here. He
[107:42] got that first bounce. It just didn't go
[107:44] up like you'd like it to. That was
[107:46] really good form on that kickoff from a
[107:49] kid that hasn't exactly been kicking all
[107:52] the time. That was pretty impressive.
[107:54] >> And they got their starters back in.
[107:56] here. No, we weren't kidding. All right,
[107:59] back into the game. Welzer
[108:02] handoff goes up the middle and a gain of
[108:05] only a couple.
[108:08] Grey House also back in the game. So,
[108:10] yeah, the starters back in now for Chaz.
[108:14] The Raiders have taken advantage of
[108:16] their twos
[108:17] and a couple of nifty offensive plays,
[108:20] including Shady Shadic's
[108:24] hurricane of a run up the field. I mean,
[108:26] once he got past midfield, you know, he
[108:28] was gone. And then that pass to Foss and
[108:31] a great catch.
[108:33] Great adjustment. Wing T again, man in
[108:36] motion to back field. That's one of the
[108:37] receivers. Fake the handoff keeper. It's
[108:40] going to be the quarterback. Oh, and
[108:41] that thing was nearly ripped out there
[108:44] on the play. Hastings had one of their
[108:47] guys, El Shadenko, who got in there and
[108:49] he nearly took that thing out of there.
[108:50] And boy, if the Raiders get that
[108:52] football back, then this really becomes
[108:55] crazy.
[108:56] >> Yeah, no kidding. Especially with the
[108:58] recent explosivity for the the Raiders
[109:00] offense. But you're right, he just kind
[109:01] of
[109:02] >> wraps around behind him and Yeah, he
[109:04] nearly got his his hand in there.
[109:08] [Applause]
[109:10] [Music]
[109:16] Crucial third down here.
[109:20] 257 to go.
[109:23] Here's the keeper
[109:27] and that will be a first down. Welter
[109:30] runs it for about five and that's enough
[109:33] for a first down.
[109:35] >> First down.
[109:37] and he's just so good in those short
[109:39] yardage situations. It's kind of funny
[109:41] because he, you know, he's 67. You can
[109:44] you can he stands out over everybody,
[109:46] but even though you can you can see
[109:48] where he's making the progress. I mean,
[109:50] nobody's having too much success
[109:52] >> after taking them down.
[109:53] >> I'm sorry, Mailman. After the game,
[109:55] we're going to have a little recap of
[109:56] some of the touchdowns coming up as
[109:58] well, and we'll take a look at those
[109:59] after this game is over.
[110:02] [Music]
[110:03] >> Wing T again, man in motion to the back
[110:06] field. one of the receivers. This time
[110:07] the Raiders stop Grey House and they
[110:10] might have actually gotten him behind
[110:11] the line this time. Very close if not to
[110:13] the line, but the Raider D doing their
[110:15] thing here and they're not calling
[110:16] timeouts. So, we'll see what ends up
[110:20] coming to be here. But I am so proud of
[110:22] our kids right now, Mailman, because
[110:24] this squad could have just mailed it in
[110:26] with 12 minutes to go. A whole fourth
[110:28] quarter, the whole bit. They didn't do
[110:30] that. They came back, not only made a
[110:32] couple of statements, but made them put
[110:33] their first team back into the game. I
[110:36] mean, if you're the Raiders right now,
[110:37] you got to be excited heading over to
[110:40] Rose Roosevelt to play Apple Valley next
[110:41] week.
[110:42] >> We don't want them mailing in anything.
[110:43] That's That's for me.
[110:44] >> That's your job.
[110:47] >> I'm out of work if they do.
[110:49] >> And off left side, Grey House. First
[110:51] down. And there goes that whole thing as
[110:53] he's gone for a touchdown. And well,
[110:56] 3414.
[110:57] >> He's running to Rosemount now.
[110:59] >> You are not kidding. That'll pretty well
[111:01] do it. Well, like I was saying, I think
[111:03] you score those two touchdowns really
[111:05] quick. It's it's good to see obviously,
[111:07] but you did awaken Chesa. You know, they
[111:10] they put their backups in. They were
[111:12] ready to call this quits. You made it
[111:14] interesting. And they bring in their
[111:15] starting quarterback. They bring in
[111:16] their starting running back, Great
[111:18] House. And there you see, I mean, good
[111:19] to see that he's uh, you know, back in
[111:21] the game. Maybe not so much from a
[111:23] scoreboard perspective if you're a
[111:25] Hastings fan, but
[111:26] >> I'm going to say that was a little
[111:27] statement too from Chaza just to say,
[111:30] you know, it wasn't that close. You
[111:32] know, they they want to say, "All right,
[111:33] you know, you got a couple on our twos,
[111:35] but we're going to come back and prove
[111:37] that we have controlled this game."
[111:41] >> There's a little malice shirt. You know
[111:43] that. You know that. And the flickering
[111:48] uh phone lights far side waving goodbye
[111:51] to the Raiders. And they are walking
[111:53] their way to the gates are the Raiders
[111:55] student section. So
[111:57] >> they're not wrong.
[111:57] >> They're not wrong. That's uh about it
[112:00] for the Raiders here. And we'll find out
[112:03] if they can maybe return one and maybe
[112:05] they throw Sheny back there to try. But
[112:07] there's no reason to get him hurt right
[112:08] now with the game where it is and
[112:10] everything is pretty well determined.
[112:13] After the game, we'll have a little
[112:14] recap of some of the scores coming up
[112:16] here.
[112:18] And then don't forget if you're watching
[112:20] live, you can always rewatch this game,
[112:22] especially you Chaza fans, and have a
[112:23] lot of fun watching it again. Or if you
[112:26] were here tonight, want to rewatch it,
[112:28] go to our YouTube, Hastings Community
[112:30] Television, find it there.
[112:34] We've had fun tonight, even though it
[112:35] hasn't gone the Raiders way. We saw some
[112:37] good things, but the Raiders taking on a
[112:39] top 10 team in the state. We'll see
[112:41] another one later on in the year in the
[112:42] final game of the regular season at MEA
[112:47] Wednesday.
[112:49] >> It was a very good litmus test. You know
[112:51] where you stack up against the best.
[112:53] >> That's why I'm not mad. I'm not at all.
[112:56] That's going to be a touch pack. There's
[112:58] no reason to be. I mean, again, you know
[113:00] who you're up against. First time with
[113:02] this new nucleus to take on a team
[113:04] that's ranked in the top 10. And like
[113:07] you and I mentioned in the second half
[113:08] too early in the second half is you know
[113:11] you know what you have to do now to
[113:13] contain a team like that or to beat a
[113:15] team like that and and you know what
[113:17] that also lingers to a team like St.
[113:19] Thomas because you know they're going to
[113:21] always be in the swing of things when it
[113:22] comes to a top sectional seed. You might
[113:24] have to see them in a championship game.
[113:26] So there's a lot of different places
[113:28] that this game tonight can be used as a
[113:30] learning experience to make this team
[113:32] grow as we get towards playoffs. And and
[113:34] the good thing is too, not to discredit
[113:36] Apple Valley or Two Rivers, but there is
[113:38] levels to this. You can never sleep on
[113:40] anybody, but their next two games are
[113:41] Apple Valley and Two Rivers. So, they
[113:43] have a couple of weeks before you face
[113:45] another really top caliber team. So,
[113:47] it's not just a week.
[113:49] >> Oh, almost a first down catch. Looking
[113:52] far side. Good pass there by Hansen,
[113:55] too.
[113:56] just misconnected there off the
[113:58] fingertips as the Raiders sent out one
[114:01] of their running back or I should say
[114:03] yeah running backs in Hagen kind of a
[114:05] waiting back if you will.
[114:08] >> Proud of the guys. I I really am. I you
[114:10] know I I came in with not a whole lot of
[114:13] expectations just because I haven't seen
[114:16] Chaza live you know since gosh long time
[114:20] for that matter. might have been in the
[114:22] playoffs back when Woodenberry, you know
[114:23] what I mean, back when they were, well,
[114:26] Chaska Chanhasen for that matter. Still,
[114:28] here's Hansen on the run again. Throws
[114:29] out a pass. That's going to be caught.
[114:31] First down Raiders. And that one this
[114:32] time is caught by the affforementioned
[114:36] Elliot Hagen. Nice grab there.
[114:39] >> That is complete to Elliot.
[114:41] >> Yeah, you know, you get in the end zone
[114:43] again. I mean, I'm not going to, you
[114:45] know, complain about it. Let's find a
[114:47] way.
[114:48] >> One more quick one. Let's score another
[114:50] one. Minute 19 to go in this one. Hansen
[114:53] passes, has a mat, caught Berken. Three
[114:56] guys on him, shakes a tackle, carries
[114:59] half the Chaza student body to the 41
[115:02] before he's thrown back by half the
[115:05] defense. So Berken showing his strength
[115:08] that we know he has the after the catch
[115:12] stuff that we know he can do. And
[115:14] >> no fear in Berken whatsoever.
[115:16] >> Takes half a defense to tackle him.
[115:19] Literally pitch on Shady 45 midfield
[115:25] carries a couple of tackles. First down.
[115:29] Shady will be over a 100. We'll check in
[115:32] with Dick Craig later on. And we'll have
[115:34] more in our next broadcast of course on
[115:37] what has happened the last, you know,
[115:39] week and a half. You know, when we have
[115:40] the fun stuff coming up, of course, back
[115:45] for homecoming. Anyway, that's going to
[115:47] be coming up. And there's a pass. Foss,
[115:50] how many receptions does Matty Foss have
[115:52] had? He might have five or six tonight
[115:53] now. Four or five, probably.
[115:55] >> I I really like that they're still
[115:56] trying here. You can tell this game
[115:58] really still does matter to this team
[116:00] cuz they're they're still pushing and
[116:01] shoving. They're still playing with
[116:02] tempo. They're still playing with
[116:04] passion.
[116:05] >> Yes,
[116:06] >> this is not a meaningless
[116:08] >> situation for the players.
[116:09] >> So proud of my team right now. I'm
[116:13] extremely proud of our kids that came
[116:15] out in full force tonight. You Pink
[116:18] student fans were fantastic. I know you
[116:20] didn't have much to yell about until
[116:22] later in the game, but you kids have
[116:24] shown me nothing but sportsmanship here
[116:26] throughout the year. As you look at the
[116:28] Raiders two wins that'll get their first
[116:30] loss here tonight before going to
[116:32] Rosemount next week to play Apple
[116:34] Valley. It is now a 7:00 start at
[116:36] Rosemound and then Two Rivers back home.
[116:39] St. Thomas Academy on the road for their
[116:42] homecoming. Burnsville back home before
[116:44] we go to East on a Wednesday and round
[116:46] out the regular season before opening up
[116:49] the playoffs that weekend.
[116:53] >> We're not doing that Mano game, are we?
[116:55] >> Hunter, we better not be.
[116:59] Unless Unless he's paying for our hotel
[117:01] and all of our Culver's down there, too.
[117:06] We'll talk turkey after the game. 29
[117:08] seconds left. Here's Hansen. Oh, nearly
[117:10] picked.
[117:12] Okay.
[117:12] >> And you better believe they would have
[117:13] ran that one back.
[117:14] >> That would have been a touchdown.
[117:16] >> That would have been a touchdown.
[117:22] >> Broken up by number 25.
[117:24] >> Tell me both. What? Big thumbs down.
[117:28] >> Oh, this down. Oh, like that. I'm
[117:31] trying.
[117:32] That was down. I think unless my volume
[117:35] went down the
[117:37] drain, perhaps.
[117:42] One receiver out to the right side. That
[117:44] is Foss.
[117:47] >> 26 seconds. Back to pass again. Caught
[117:50] Shady. 40 35 30 out of bounds. Stop the
[117:54] clock. We're going to score again. I
[117:56] Let's go. Let's do it, boys.
[117:58] >> Shady is going to try.
[117:59] >> Let's go. Yeah. Shady just looking so
[118:02] good again. Well, and not that not that
[118:04] it's just about patting your stats
[118:06] obviously, but I mean at the end of
[118:08] this, you know, through three quarters,
[118:11] they kind of contained them. I think
[118:12] when we get the final stats from from
[118:14] Dick Craig at, you know, 11:30 tonight,
[118:18] >> I think he's going to have a surprising
[118:19] amount of of yards.
[118:21] >> And we'll tell you what, the fact that
[118:22] we get our stats at 11:30 at night, the
[118:25] game, the day of the game, that's how
[118:27] good Dick Craig is, folks.
[118:28] >> Oh, he's the best.
[118:29] >> Oh my goodness. That's intercepted.
[118:31] flag.
[118:33] We might keep this.
[118:36] We might keep this. I I I don't know if
[118:38] this is on us or not. It's a It's be
[118:41] unsportsome against us. Okay, that'll do
[118:44] it. Knee and we're going to go home and
[118:46] we're going to go to Culver's actually
[118:47] first.
[118:49] Again, special thank you to the
[118:51] Schoolhouse and to Culver's of Hastings.
[118:53] We love you. Thank you for continuing to
[118:56] put these games on the air. And if you
[118:57] too would like to help save community
[118:59] television, please do so. Because with
[119:01] more and more people cutting cable each
[119:02] day, funding for community TV stations
[119:04] is in rapid decline. To help keep these
[119:07] games on the air, we need need your
[119:10] support. To learn more about how you can
[119:12] get involved, head to save community.com
[119:15] for more information or consider leaving
[119:17] a donation at hastingsv.org/donate.
[119:21] And that way you can get it right to us
[119:23] in Hastings. It will go to support
[119:25] Hastings programs, Hastings content for
[119:28] you. And of course, we couldn't do it
[119:30] without our wonderful cast of
[119:32] characters. I mean, you know, all of our
[119:34] cameramen that that dealt with rain and
[119:37] everything else throughout the day.
[119:38] Hunter that's been pulling his hair out
[119:40] for the good all night long to let you
[119:42] guys all be part of this one tonight.
[119:44] 3514 Raiders do get it back. That
[119:46] unsportsmanlike conduct is actually
[119:49] against Chaska, not Hastings. Not
[119:51] Hastings. Good news. So Berken with a
[119:54] catch here will keep the game going for
[119:57] albeit a moment. One more time out with
[119:59] 6 seconds.
[120:01] >> And you got to feel there's probably a
[120:02] little frustration from Chaza knowing
[120:04] that they're they're still playing down
[120:06] to the final play. If you're Chesa, you
[120:08] got to be like, "Hey, this game's over."
[120:09] I mean, you got to feel they feel some
[120:11] type of way about them still trying when
[120:13] they probably felt, you know, before
[120:15] they scored it was all over. As we take
[120:16] a look at their schedule, like we talked
[120:18] about earlier, this does not get any
[120:20] easier. that I mean and and you know
[120:23] what to be honest and this team could
[120:25] very well run the table. They're that
[120:27] good. But if they do run the table and
[120:29] you and I are talking that MEA about,
[120:31] hey, what's Chaza doing? And we find out
[120:33] that them and new, you know, they're
[120:34] blowing NRA out 42 nothing. You and I
[120:36] are going to look at each other and go,
[120:38] we're not shocked. This team is that
[120:40] good. So I mean, wow, what a schedule,
[120:42] you know, and if they're able to put
[120:43] together a big winning season, they
[120:46] deserve to be at to which the spot the
[120:48] seed that they get in the upcoming
[120:49] playoffs. Th this loss is probably going
[120:52] to age very well for Hastings. I if if
[120:55] Chaza ended up being a three or four win
[120:57] team, I would be as shocked as I've been
[120:59] about anything.
[121:00] >> For QRF seating, stuff like that. I
[121:02] mean, this is going to look a lot better
[121:04] in the Pioneer Press tomorrow morning,
[121:05] if you know what I mean.
[121:06] >> Well, scoring the two touchdowns is
[121:08] going to look better, too.
[121:09] >> Out of the gun, Hansen. Oh, that should
[121:11] be a flag. No flag, but you get one more
[121:14] play.
[121:14] >> I think you're going to be hardressed
[121:15] for them to call one in this.
[121:17] >> Oh, give me one.
[121:19] I'm going to cry for one all day and
[121:20] we'll see. Maybe their feet got caught
[121:22] up as we look at the replay.
[121:25] >> Hansen back and n they just got tangled
[121:27] up.
[121:28] >> Probably wasn't a catchable
[121:29] >> intended for Lundstrom who kind of
[121:31] deserves a touchdown. Made a couple nice
[121:33] catches and the game was still really in
[121:36] play, if you will. Ky, nice to see Coach
[121:40] Culvin.
[121:44] Always nice to see my goalie friend. We
[121:47] all stick together. You all know that.
[121:50] Saw another goalie this last weekend.
[121:52] We'll talk about that in a moment. Out
[121:53] of the shotgun. Final play of the game.
[121:56] Hansen puts it up. Hit from behind and a
[121:59] flag on the play. So, this might not be
[122:01] over quite yet.
[122:02] >> It is absolutely going to be an
[122:04] offensive holding. And the game is over.
[122:06] Of that, I'm certain.
[122:08] >> Mailman is always right. Hence,
[122:10] unfortunately, the game ends. Your final
[122:13] score tonight 3514. The Raiders fall.
[122:16] But I am so happy and proud of the way
[122:19] this team played against the top 10 team
[122:21] in the state. And I know Melman, you
[122:22] feel the same way. And you and I are
[122:24] very excited about what's going to
[122:26] happen next week at Rosemont because
[122:28] like you said, this is a team that
[122:30] doesn't have that line. This is a team
[122:31] that has struggled a bit as we take a
[122:33] look at some of these touchdowns tonight
[122:35] led by that big quarterback and Matthew
[122:37] Welter.
[122:38] >> Yeah, I believe that was the 39yd
[122:41] touchdown here in the in the third
[122:42] quarter. And then here's the uh the
[122:44] fourth quarter touchdown here from
[122:46] Shadic which kind of led the uh I don't
[122:47] want to say a mini comeback cuz they I
[122:49] feel the game probably was firmly in the
[122:51] hands of the Chesco Hawks. But you know
[122:53] that's what started it here for
[122:54] Hastings. Shadock gets his touchdown
[122:56] helps his yard total.
[122:59] Really kept the Raiders in the game
[123:01] mentally too which is is so important.
[123:03] And then here's the the final touchdown
[123:04] of the game. It's a 22 yd completion
[123:06] from Hansen to Foss. beautifully placed
[123:11] pass.
[123:13] And then here's the uh the final
[123:16] touchdown for Chesa. That's the great
[123:18] house, a 40, 50 yd touchdown run.
[123:24] But you're you're totally right. I mean,
[123:25] if they finish this game and it's 28 to
[123:28] nothing, 35 to nothing, I think you feel
[123:30] a lot different than it being 35 to 14
[123:33] where the Raiders kept in it. You know,
[123:35] they didn't care about the score. They
[123:36] they went out to play into they were
[123:38] calling timeouts down 21 with 9 seconds
[123:41] to go. I mean, I think you feel as good
[123:43] as you can about a lot. Still a loss.
[123:45] It's still It still sucks.
[123:47] >> Yeah.
[123:47] >> But I think I think you feel there's a
[123:50] lot of silver linings in this in this
[123:52] game for sure.
[123:53] >> Raiders fall tonight. The final score
[123:55] 3514 as the Chesco Hawks celebrate with
[124:00] their students section. It's a great
[124:02] time to sign it off for the night.
[124:03] Raiders will go to Rosemont to take on
[124:05] Apple Valley next week. And here on
[124:08] HCTV, we have Hastings Raiders girls
[124:10] swim and dive their season underway. A
[124:12] big one with Mameidi. That coming up on
[124:14] the 18th. And then we got the soccer
[124:16] double header with Simley back home.
[124:18] That's going to be a great showdown.
[124:20] Likely to be a highscoring affair.
[124:22] Hastings football back home with Two
[124:24] Rivers. I can't wait for that one. It's
[124:26] going to be fun on the 26. And of
[124:28] course, the soccer double header at home
[124:29] at Bameidi. That could have conference
[124:32] championship implications even at that
[124:34] time. Yes. So, lots of fun coming up
[124:36] folks for the mailman Owen Elely. I'm
[124:38] Nick Tuckner. I want to thank Hunter
[124:40] Pinky, Ian Andersonac, Max Sllo, Kurt
[124:43] Radkkey, Tory Selner. All you guys are
[124:45] rock stars and the reason why we were
[124:46] able to put this game on tonight in the
[124:49] face of adversity with the weather.
[124:51] Hunter was going crazy all night. But
[124:53] like I said, for the good, this man made
[124:55] us go tonight. And all those cameramen
[124:56] out there, they did the same. Thank you
[124:58] to everybody who joined us tonight. Best
[125:00] of luck to the Chesa Hawks. We will be
[125:02] pulling from for you from Hastings this
[125:04] year. No doubt about that as they
[125:06] continue a very tough schedule. Final
[125:09] score tonight 3514 for Mailman. I'm
[125:11] Tuck. We'll send it back to the studio.
[125:13] Good night, everyone.
