river park there's nothing like it in all of california now here's kc 24 and cbs 47 sports anchor scott bemis and former fresno city college rams tight end mike brady hello again everybody and welcome to radcliffe stadium in fresno where we have some more junior college football for you today it's gonna be the view roadrunners coming in at two and two overall ranked number 14 in the jc coaches poll and number 20 in the community college sports information poll taking on the fresno city rams the rams coming in at three and one overall they're number 10 in that coaches poll and they're ranked number nine in the sports information association poll so we got a ranked battle here two top 14 teams going at it uh joined again as always by a former ram tight end mike brady uh for the call here of today's game and when you think about butte and fresno city what comes to mind i mean there's a bunch of history between both programs um a day i i you know recall playing them here we talked about it in last week's commentary uh in which uh kicker and if he's listening nick mitchell hit a winning kick at the end of the game um and double overtime i believe maybe triple overtime i think it was double overtime i think it was triple over time i didn't even watch the kick but but we have history with butte um aaron rodgers school as you indicated last week um they are always a solid team they're always well coached um coach g has history with them all the way back to when he was with chabot um they're we respect them a ton and i watched them this week i respect them a ton too two and two maybe not sure a couple state titles also was given a couple national titles um as well uh they're coached by rob schnelling it was hired permanently in august of 2018 to be the roadrunner head coach he was a long time assistant with the road runner program he's 17 so far in his time as the permanent head coach of the roadrunner program he's a former allstate tight end at youth college later played for boise state and in the nfl a little bit with the tennessee titans as well also a former assistant at arizona state he was an assistant uh on teams that won six conference championships at butte and a couple state titles like i mentioned so he knows how to coach this roadrunner team coming in off a couple of losses uh coach c mentioned to me that they're probably reeling a little bit right now that this isn't up to the standard that they expect to be playing football at this level and then you got the rams also coming in off the loss of course right against college of san mateo last week the rams opened up with three straight wins to begin the season uh of course winning a 24-7 win over santa rosa here at radcliffe follow that up with a road win 2812 at american river college and then last week dropped their first contest of the 2021 season a 38-27 loss to the college of san mateo which is by the way number one again in the community college state poll um according to the coaches and the sports information directors so uh no shame in losing to san mateo but if you're the rams mike uh how do you bounce back today i think that i think you just do just that you just i think you're reeling like like he indicated to you i mean that's coach c talk right there i mean they're reeling so is fresno city i mean he probably didn't want to tell you that but they don't like losing at home we didn't like losing a home when i played here coach c doesn't like it he's going to put more time and energy in it he's going to stay in this field house till after midnight i mean he's he's going to grind away and i think he just stay stick with the game plan but i did hear him say to me as well as you that you know he feels like this is one of those bounce back games and sometimes a loss wakes the team up you know and they uh they got after it this week as far as i heard having some of their best practices of the entire year so i think it's just putting the game plan together and putting in the effort and energy and knowing that you're playing a quality hit opponent we fresno city has history with now butte's still out on the field the rams have gone into the locker room we're about nine minutes away from kickoff here this afternoon they're also celebrating homecoming at radcliffe stadium here today and celebrating 72 years of ram football i'm sure some former players are going to be in attendance there's going to be a parade of athletes as well at halftime so it's a it's a fun day to be a fresno city ram isn't it it is and i know that a lot of the guys that i played with are coming back today i'm really excited um i hope i get an opportunity even though i'm on the broadcast with you um to to see some of those guys um this is one of those days where the alumni the our football alumni they come back and um they put it on their calendars you know they see the homecoming and they put it on there it doesn't matter who the opponent is but you get all the old the old-timers like me back and i'm ready to see some of them i'm hope hopefully i get to catch some of them before you know the end of this the roadrunners uh coming in as i mentioned at two and two on the year they lost last week to modesto junior college um at home modesto is a top 10 ranked team themselves of course in fresno city's conference as well so the rams are going to see modesto a little bit later this season as well but that game was a lot closer than the score would indicate there was a 97-yard interception return for a touchdown by modesto at the end of the third quarter if not for that that game probably comes down uh to the wire now before that on september 18th uh the roadrunners also lost at san mateo 21-14 so they were competitive with the number one team in the state and they did open with a couple wins uh in week one at cos 2421 and then 2310 versus laney college after that now you mentioned the series history between these two teams butte and fresno city knowing each other well they've had some memorable meetings uh the great woody wilk the long time sports publicist here at fresno city uh you know tipping me off to a couple of cool nuggets uh today about the about the rivalry in the series he told me about the 1990 game in the first ever producer's dairy bowl uh when ryan wet night the late ryan wet night caught an 88-yard touchdown i believe it was a record uh touchdown catch now the rain still lost that game but a lot of people still remember that that fantastic a touchdown catch 2000 you mentioned the triple overtime game won by the rams on a late field goal uh coach woody will tell me that pat hill was actually in the end zone late in that game watching he was scouting and and he basically turned to uh one of the riders and said boy this is a heck of a football game isn't it to the extent that i was in that game scott and i couldn't even watch nick mitchell's kick for the win i just heard the thump and i heard the crowd behind us and i got excited and ran on and then of course in 20 2002 like you mentioned aaron rodgers a school record 468 yards of total offense right here at radcliffe stadium in a loss uh by butte to fresno city but anybody who was here today still waxes poetic about seeing aaron rodgers in that game that he almost single-handedly led the roadrunners to a victory the rams though have won the last three of four in this series so they're writing a little momentum in this series and let's hear from the head coach when we come back we're going to catch up with head coach tony cavilla get his thoughts on this matchup with the roadrunners a conversation with the head coach coming up next you're listening to 940 kind of fresno city football things part about president first bank and their local staff local thankful for go ahead and give me just like a minute here on the break and then run and then you can come back to me and we'll i'll do a quick intro about what you're looking for oh [Music] is luxurious leathers in over 400 colors [Music] welcome back to radcliffe stadium we're counting down to kickoff here today between the butte roadrunners and the fresno city rams time now for that time in the pregame show when we catch up with the head coach of the rams tony cavilla he's been coaching for a long time his 22nd season at the helm and in that time he's had 17 showdowns with butte college um let's get his thoughts on today's showdown as we catch up highly is opponents um best teams in northern california in my estimation and uh uh yeah back to back to back these are tough games but you know you know that's why we play them we want to if we want to be the best we got to play the best and we've done that for years both of these teams are going to be coming in off of losses of course you guys fell last week at home to san mateo but has dropped a couple in a row um so everybody's going to be chomping at the bed i'm assuming to get a win right yeah really um you know i think butte's not happy with their situation right now i think they're coming here expecting to play a lot better than they have in the last couple weeks and you know and we're not happy the way we played so um you know it's gonna be a great game great test for both teams and we'll see what happens yeah they're coming in only two and two but they are ranked by the coaches in the state poll uh what do you see on film from the road runners that impresses you well they're they're big and they're physical and uh very strong football team and um you know it's uh you know we've played but for many many years um going back to the aaron rodgers days in 2002. um you know they come to play every week uh they play hard they're they're strong kids and uh they do a great job coaching up there i look at their time of possession stats and i think they possess it for 34 some odd minutes i think this year so is this a team that's gonna gonna really pound it on the ground you think yeah yeah they're gonna shift they're gonna motion they're gonna do a lot of different things but um no they're not gonna be in a hurry up style um but i'm sure they can one year they they were like that and they came out here in the first two series they went no huddle super fast so you know we've just got to be ready for everything and we've pretty much seen everything at this point so it's just a matter the rest get better and uh you know take care of business for ourselves it's a long season i'm sure you learn something about your team every week what have you learned from our team this week as they've bounced back from that out of this can you just come back to us well you know you gotta look at practice i mean okay um do you want me to put the game openers uh before that or just try to you guys didn't have that tool yeah yeah you can run the game over there yeah we bounce back in that respect [Music] you know i just think our team did bounce back and uh and hope it carries over until saturday this is the last non-conference game before bye week um and then you guys get going with with the conference season um what are going to be the points of emphasis uh for this game against butte well we need to be four and one at the break i mean as we told them uh you know the most important thing besides you know winning the game is getting better i mean we have we haven't even put all our entire packages in yet we're still we're still putting things in still working on things we're still trying to get better improvement week by week is has got to happen because you know i don't think at this point we've peaked as a football team i think the best football is ahead of us and uh you know i think we're just gonna we're just gonna keep trying to grow and keep trying to get better and hopefully carry some wins along the way you've been doing this for a long time you've been through a lot of homecoming games but it is homecoming for the rams uh against the roadrunners uh what do you look forward to about homecoming and do you get a chance to to catch up with some former rams yeah you know we'd love to see the old rams come back and i say old former um but uh yeah we'd love to see him come back and and uh some of these guys the only time they get back in the stadium is on homecoming and uh you know it's it's such a great tradition here we have so many great players and great people have come through this program and you know when they come back and watch the game it uh makes us all feel proud you mentioned aaron rodgers of course he's the most famous alum of butte college and he played here at radcliffe stadium back in 2002 and put on a show what do you remember about that game i know that you came up a little short you guys got him that day but i think he had something like 468 yards of total offense yeah exactly yeah you know uh i think i think the score is like uh 31-7 at halftime and we ended up winning i think 52 44. september 24th back then and uh you know we didn't know much about him i mean he was from paradise high school and we uh went i remember watching his high school highlight tape and and getting here you know where we knew he could ride and he was pretty good athlete but uh boy we couldn't touch him in the second half and um i just i just pulled out the the dvd i'm gonna i'm gonna try to get that thing put on put on some on a viewing viewer so we can watch that game i want to show that to our players but um yeah i was uh you know you never know you know it was a tremendous football game but you never knew you know what's going to happen in the future for a guy like aaron rodgers and yeah it's just it's just another place all right it's game time from 9 40 to alongside former ram tight end mike brady it's butte and fresno city on a sun-filled afternoon here at radcliffe stadium i would say beautiful afternoon for football except for the fact that there's a little smoke in the air mike there's quite a bit of smoke in here i do have to admit though when i woke up this morning i woke up early this morning there was a whole lot more than this so i'm actually feeling good about this they have a sunny day hopefully everybody's you know stays healthy with with our aqi level yeah i just looked at my phone to see what the temperature was it's 90 degrees uh right now for us it's not too bad because we're over here in the shade but the players still in the field at this point as both teams are on the field their kickoff units are out there as we are about to get this game underway the two and two road runners and the three in one rams ready to kick things off from radcliffe stadium final non-league contest for both teams before a bye week and then we will get things going with valley conference football starting a couple saturdays from now nathan coons puts his right leg into it and we are underway short low kick that actually squibbles to about the 15 where it's picked up there by number one of the road runners gizelle lewis sophomore defensive back out of colorado returns it to about the 27. there is a flag down it's holding all right it's got to be holding on butte on the back end um i saw it it's got to be unless number 27. yeah holding is the call on the return so the referees are going to march the roadrunners back a little bit inside their own 15 they're going to mark it at the 13 and that's where they will get things underway leading the charge quarterback is sophomore brian harper he's got some experience played a little bit in 2019 in a backup role he's a six three 205 pound sophomore at a trinity high school in weaverville california 55 completion percentage only averaging a little less than 170 yards throwing a game uh butte more of a running team so far this season to this point in the season on first down they follow my lead and uh give it on the ground keep it on the ground over the left side for a pickup of about seven that's number nine running back johnny williams a sophomore out of intercom high school in sacramento give him seven on the play so it's gonna be second and three i'm pretty surprised scott that brian harper's numbers aren't a little bit more than they are i watched film last night he's a very athletic quarterback but they seem to rely on their their big and strong front line and run the ball down your throat a little bit more which might be beneficial to fresno city whose front seven is pretty pretty good themselves yeah dude averaging over 150 yards on the ground per game on second and three a little swing pass off play action out to the tight end jason filipina and he gets a first down out to the 25. and immediately on on second and short on that play action just sucked those linebackers up and he just had a little he just had to flip the pass out to the running back on the flats and it's the easy first down that's the thing that fresno city's defensive coordinator rick scheidt might need to worry about is run run run down your throat play action up top i saw him do it on film in two games they did it last week against modesto so we'll see first and ten from the 25 butte heading towards the south end zone first possession of the game and on a little reverse fly sweep there is some room out there to number three of the roadrunners and that is adam bunch and he picks up good yardage about eight yards the ram defense not able to react to that fly sweep and uh a good first down game for the roadrunner is going to set up a second in short situation yeah they've got another second in short they're running it and they're they're going right up your head he was a lot faster right now looking at him live than i saw on video the tight ends will be involved for this butte team you're going to see some running backs and this quarterback is pretty athletic he can run the football as well on second and three harper going to hand it off to williams again right up the gut he's got another first down give him three gains so they're gonna move the chains again it'll be first and ten for butte at the 36. and they're going as for the game plan that scott bemas just mentioned um they're just going right at fresno city it's pretty impressive considering i think fresno city's strength of their defense well they have a great defense all over but a strength is their front seven they're going running it right up the gut williams with over 200 yards on the ground coming in so he has been one of the stalwarts out of the backfield for this roadrunner team first and 10 from the 36. harper in shotgun takes the snap he's going gonna throw getting pressured now trying to leave it loses the football but harper is able to get back on it one of the random linebackers i think got a hand on it came loose but fortunately for view they're able to get back on it might have been keenan i think it was thomas curran but possibly thomas curran was able to slap that ball away yeah i think thomas curran hooked the ball as he was trying to break the pocket thomas kern came from the back side and hooked the ball out of his arm kern of course 61 225 pound sophomore out of clovis west bunch of valley guys on this fresno city ram football team 11 guys from buchanan whole bunch of guys from central hoover clovis west clovis east all kinds of valley schools like that harper on second and long screened to his receiver left side that's conor mckenzie and mackenzie is brought down after a decent gain they pick up about half of the yardage needed actually pick up about two or three on the play i beg your pardon so it's going to be third and long so so far listening audience and those of you that would remember back in the day that was the rocket screen with rodney wright right there and um fresno city's linebackers reacted on it they've definitely seen that before and i reacted to it quickly not much of a game there but uh it didn't work as well as pat hill's you know rodney wright team or bernard berrien team in my other job as a sports anchor for kc and uh cbs47 i always love when i get to watch rodney wright video because he was explosive on thursday long over the middle harper guns one to a leaping adam bunch and he comes down with it good coverage on the play but they fit it in there nicely and a very good tough catch in traffic from adam bunch give him a big gain on the play across midfield it'll be first down for butte that that was an amazing catch in between the secondary he got hit as he caught the ball adam bunch is the one that you indicated earlier went on the fly sweep um and he's a player we got somebody down on the play yeah there's a fresno city ram down on the field back behind the play at the butte 25. can't see the number as of yet 10 54 to play here in the first quarter we're just underway first drive of the game for butte but they're on the move they've picked up some first downs and they're across midfield they're scrimmaging now from the fresno city 46 as harper has looked good except for that one fumble he had in the backfield yeah i mean i don't think he could have even prevented that i think thomas curran came around and and just stripped it from him luckily for them they fell back on the ball um but yeah he's he's looked really good he's very athletic i've seen him on film he's a good player i'm surprised they don't throw the ball a little more that was a great throw in between two safeties and um you know great catch and you know there's nothing more you can say about it's just a great play i'm surprised they don't throw the ball more harper is very athletic uh he was actually a state qualifier community college level in the decathlon last year so he can do a little bit of everything because they don't they describe to catholics as the greatest athletes in the world right well that's what i've heard i mean wait you gotta dick dick catholic you like two ten different things you gotta be good at ten different things in football you know maybe a couple different things you run some track or something but yeah that's pretty impressive yeah it runs an 11 to 700 long jumps nearly 21 feet so he's quite an athlete the injured ram was ben ayo the the sophomore defensive lineman out of hoover high school ben had a big sack last week but he was favoring his his leg there as he walked off um they're now attending to him on the sidelines all right first and ten from the 46 of fresno city for butte and lowering his head is johnny williams over right guard moving the pile and inside the 40 to the 39 of the rams this was running downhill just like we said right up the gut you and i said i mean he's putting his head down he's he's getting the art as you can i i you're telling you can tell already you and i the personality that we saw it on film though you can tell the personality of this butte college team it's we're coming right at you approaching 10 minutes to go here in the first quarter this is the opening possession for the roadrunners they've moved it to the fresno city third and 39 first and ten and it's williams again looking for some room in the middle of the field he's stacked up by a couple fresno city rams and they're on the tackle caden ochoa of fresno city along with one of the the big defensive lineman barry lualamaga and he is a big boy i do think that play right there um they they kind of slammed him at the end of the play i was kind of close to something more than extracurricular activity but um i do think it was evidenced by the fact that since you and i have been watching this fresno city team they start to wake up they start to get i mean they start to get upset to be honest and then i i actually there's a part of me that thinks it's good for them a little bit first down for butte from the fresno city 36. under center this time we haven't seen a lot of that this year in any of the games we've done but you going under center and they're gonna run some power right up the gut it's williams again he's using that six foot 205 pound frame to to really run tough inside the tackles right now and he picks up five more and i'll be honest i'm not sure at six foot 205 against this fresno city defense i mean it's the first quarter i'm not sure how much you can take in regards to two linebackers at the same time every time you put your head down this is a four quarter game so maybe you might want to try to make one of them miss but they're hitting them hard now the rams of course on that defensive front right now have chased bibler the aforementioned barry luolamaga as well as jim kissling second and four from the ram 30 again under center and he's going to hand off to williams again this time he picks up about three near the first down marker and of course we're talking about the the freshman out of buchanan high school also spent a little time out of valparaiso uh he's a bounce back from valpo his dad's sitting right in front of us here on homecoming and is also an alumni um and played here and also played at marshall third in one butte comes out and shotgun but now shifts into a power formation not a single receiver in there this is a really tight formation and they're going to hand it off to another back and he squeezes his way through for the first down that's jeremy reed another big back six foot 205 freshman out of the tampa bay area in college they are literally scott doing what coach cavilla used to tell my team buckle up your chin strap and we're going that's how beaut's playing them right now this is old school football through the first four games of the year right we've seen spread offenses shotgun on every down it seems like and uh butte's going under center here they're they're doing some power football and it's working this time they are in shotgun couple receivers either way got an h back in the game and now running back in motion they hand it off to the tailback and williams got to the line of scrimmage and then jumped over the pile fell forward falling far enough to pick up three they're going to mark it down into fresno city 22. check it out and i will say this got their their type of of game plan i mean look at that clock is just running i mean we may not be here too long yeah one thing that struck me looking at butte stats was that they possessed the ball for on average 34 minutes um so that means they almost have a 10 minute advantage on their opponents and we're seeing it play out here on this first drive 650 and counting left to go here on second down it's harper looking for his running back out in the front actually he's tight enough there jason he had him open but he missed them and missed opportunity for the road runners you're the rams i agree and that play action i mean the linebackers are coming downhill like we just said a few minutes ago i mean they are the linebackers are ready for the run the play action is going to be set up and that tight end was wide open to be honest he just missed it yeah when you're running the ball that effectively play action like that uh really works well and it was open there they just missed the opportunity so that's going to bring up third and seven from the fresno city 22. this time a tight end comes in motion left a couple receivers right and they're going to give it to williams again has a hole he's inside the 15 down to the fresno city 13 and i don't know if i've seen the rams get physically dominated on a drive like this all all year i completely agree with you i mean i i was going to interject but you're doing you know you're playing by play and i'm not going to do that but um that was the nevada pistol and to be honest that doesn't give you a lot of opportunity as a running back to make your decision he found that hole put his head down again through a linebacker and got first down yardage again so first and ten from the 13 now for butte harper in shotgun this time a bunch formation of the rotten williams following his lead blockers that way on a pitch and he gets it down to about the 10. he's a tough guy i imagine to bring down behind the line of scrimmage he's always falling forward getting three on that play so they're at the 10 that's gonna be second and seven for butte i couldn't agree with you more scott he looks like i mean he came to play but i think fresno city is waking up they're realizing okay they do like to come downhill maybe it's time for us to be physical and less out in space out in zone as we've been in the last couple games it's okay to give up yardage inside the 20 if you can buckle down in the red zone and force the roadrunners into a field goal second and seven from the 10 now another tight formation two receivers to the short side of the field williams on another handoff and another good gain lowering the head there was a some open space there over right guard and he's inside the five near the line to gain and they're giving him the first down i believe so it's going to be first and goal from about the three and a half for the roadrunners who are just churning out yards and they're taking a bunch of time off the clock 5 29 now left to play nearing a 10 minute opening drive here for butte this i'll be honest this williams kid is impressing me he's impressing me a lot all right the roadrunners shift out of shotgun now harper under center gives it to williams again and this time fresno city does a pretty good job they they get at his legs and undercut them from the one for butte i like how you're saying that too scott he has the ability to like almost get in a squatting position like you would in the gym and squat and push himself forward no matter who's hitting him can get forward progress and this is one of those drives you're starting to see some hands on the hips for fresno city because when you just run downhill at a team um it can get a little demoralizing mentally i imagine second and goal from the one for butte one receiver left they got two backs in the backfield traditional i formation with a fullback and it's harper on the qb sneak and he's into the end zone so butte takes ten and a half minutes off the clock and gets on the board first thanks to a harper qb snake from the one make it six nothing but a flag did come in after the play appeared to be over let's check the flag it did appear to be over but they're running are they running back out on or is this their pat team it looks like they're gonna have the touchdown stand as the offense is running off the field and they've brought out the kicking unit for butte the officials are discussing things it's after the play like you said scott sportsmanlike conduct on kato choa the safety out of bakersfield high for fresno city they're going to enforce that on the kickoff so it's six nothing butte on to attempt the extra point is their place kicker gabe estabrook 7-7 on the year converting point after touchdowns snap is decent hold is okay and esther brook puts it through so with 4 30 left to play here in the first quarter butte goes right down the field running the football gets an opening touchdown they take an early seven nothing lead you're listening to ram football [Music] fall is the perfect time for wine tasting at crew 99 winery open daily for tastings on our heart patio

kicking off from the 50 and he just lays into this one nearly went through through the goal post i never understand when you're kicking off from the 50 why you don't try some sort of pooch kick or something you know maybe to try to get the football back i kind of thought the same thing right now scott i think he just had a personal like yeah with trying to you know make a statement and say i can hit this from 70 yards i mean 60 yards i guess but it it was good it was good from 70 i think yeah he looked like he was just showing off for the crowd right there he knew he was gonna be a touch back because he was kicking off from the 50. all right the rams take the field led by justin holliday their freshman quarterback out of le moore tabari rollins coming in motion and they're going to hand it to him on the fly sweep to body it's a head of steam going and then it's taken down with a good hit on the perimeter eight yards on that play so it's gonna be second and two for fresno city let me get to that clue real quick for the name that ram contest your first clue of the of the day here again try to figure out which former fresno city football player this is based on the clues i'm gonna be giving throughout the game clue number one this former ram is from madara county there you go first clue i can see mike his head is spinning and drew moore's head is probably spinning right now because he was running open on a slant on second and short and he had some room to run maybe even might have been able to house that one and he just dropped it was right in his hands yep i mean you couldn't have said any better scott he had it the safety came down and he he had a split between the defensive back and the safety at about the hash marks on a slant route ball was right at his hands he just dropped it he was gone third and one now after the drop for fresno city they're at their own 34. fred greene jr in the backfield gets the carry and just using that power and that strength that is in those those big legs that fred has and that low center of gravity and he gets forward for about a gain or two he was hit uh in front of the first down marker but he was able to just power his way through for a first down scott do you feel like you're noticing fresno city change out a lot more guys than we've seen in prior games um just in the first couple plays of this first drive well if you're seeing it then i believe i believe it's happening uh they're gonna swing it left side to rollins on first and ten and rollins another decent game very good with the swing passes and the screens and the fly sweeps uh he knows how to pick up some yardage he does i and i'll be honest with you like the last couple games um you've been calling his name a lot and i've i was analyzing film myself at home and he's got a little bit more speed than i thought he had when i was i was out of camp rollins a freshman out of jacksonville florida terry parker high school second and two for city little play action and they're going to swing it to cathedral story on a quick hit or left side and storky drops the football so that's two drops in the first five plays in the city not a good sign because i think they're gonna need to kind of swing it a little bit laterally i think that fresno city is is they have to use a different mechanism to win than than butte does they're not just going to drive it down beaut's throat you know you got to catch the ball on the on the left on the edge third and two for the rams green in the backfield going to get the hand off cuts out field puts his foot in the ground makes a couple guys miss he's across midfield he's inside the 40 of butte down to their 39 and gregory jr is a lot fun to watch give him 14 yards on that carry and he literally made a couple guys miss in space so that play was a byob be your own blocker and he uh he did it and shook the guy so bad and got 14 yards when he maybe should have only had two [Music] which forced drew moore one of the white outs for city then to to go early so let's see which way they go with the call here and they're gonna call it a false start which is kind of interesting definitely um actually coach cavillo teaches that if you see somebody move like that and you get you want that encroachment you go and i think drew saw what you just said you saw him do and went on the outside edge probably because he can't even hear the quarterback anyway and um and they called it i think they called him [Music] yeah i'm not sure what you're supposed to do if you're a receiver there the the db jumps and then you jump i'm not sure why it's a foul on the offense but maybe that's a discussion for for another day first in 15 for city and they're going to give it to green no play action to him to get it to ricardo arias on a catch near the line of scrimmage areas the tight end for the rams out of clovis west fresno state before coming back to city he loses one on the play ricardo got high load when you're a ball carrier there's no foul on that but he was wrapped around his legs and then got hit up top i mean potentially a targeting call but i i think you know he was already wrapped up and i don't you know i can't tell from here whether or not it was home to helmet so after that tough procedure call that move the rams back so it's going to be second and 16 from the butte 46 holiday to throw looking over the middle for rollins and he throws it just a little too far far for tabari holiday was being pressured through off his back there was some traffic there deep in that butte secondary but if you put a little more air under it might have had a big completion i can't agree with you more scott he he put that too much on a line that needed to be he had he had already beaten the safety um out to the numbers from the hash marks on the right side out to the numbers on the right side of the field that should have been floated a little bit more on the flag route so third and 16 now for fresno city green in there to holidays right holiday in shotgun with four receivers in the game holiday over the middle of rollins he's caught it at the 40s near the 35 trying to work his way towards the marker line three yards short of a first down we got our first interesting coach kaveli decision what do you do i mean we're at the what 30 we're at the 34 yard line like you just indicated fourth and about four three and a half four um i think you go in suicide zone as they call it you gotta you gotta make a move what are you gonna do that's exactly what they're doing four receivers in the game holiday now looking towards the sideline changing the play he's calling out the signals he shifts green to his left now in the backfield holiday takes a snap gives it to fred fred trying to get to that first down marker he's close trying to power through contact and bodies there i think he might be just a little short though i agree it's really close he did come up short it was a good run by green actually as he was hit right at the line of scrimmage was able to carry a couple guys for a couple yards but he just couldn't get far enough and the rams turn it over on down so butte will take over leading seven nothing here with 120 left to go in the first quarter bringing out the offense again again coming into this game at two and two on the season coming off a pretty bad loss for butte though at home to modesto last week 38-17 a game that was closer than the score indicated though harper gonna throw on first down looking over the middle and he's got bunch again deep in that fresno city secondary on the coverage was keon driving down he's unhappy with himself as butte picks up a big gain all the way down to the fresno city 42 and it'll be first and ten for the roadrunners huge gain and bunch is is a player i i didn't recognize it on film but looking at it here live sitting with you scott he's he can he can run routes he runs them sharp i mean we've got some of fresno city city's best db's on him and he's getting open bunch of freshmen out of the phoenix area first and ten for butte from the 42 and they swing it left side now the tight end had his knee down when he caught it and they're gonna mark it there the tight end caught the football with a neon his knee down on the grass so they're gonna mark it right there that's good officiating so it's gonna be a loss of three for beauty had some room if he had been able to stay on his feet and not catch it with his knee on the ground yeah and um i'll be honest with you from what you said earlier and um what coach c said in his pre-game show did this roadrunner team they don't run out of bounds they put their shoulder down that's their intent slight correction chandler monahan on the catch there he's a receiver a six foot 195 freshman out of the susanville area under 30 seconds to play her in the first quarter they go a little wildcat with a new quarterback in the game that's tanner hughes 6'4 225 so you can see why they're running the football with him he picks up four on the play so it's gonna be third and nine they're also showing some stuff they didn't show on film i mean as you indicated in the pre-game show also um a wildcat look i hadn't seen before and that guy was humongous that brings us to the end of the first quarter you're listening to fresno city full on

we're proud to say be a ram be ready for life scott bemis alongside former ram tight end mike brady coming to you live from radcliffe stadium in fresno butte college and fresno city college some community college football here today and so far it's been butte who's been controlling the action they lead seven nothing here first play of the second quarter and harper finding another open receiver and that's that man again adam bunch bunch with several catches already today give him eight more yards on that play so they're near the first down yardage two yards short this is gonna be fourth and two for butte we had a helmet come off on that player for frozen city too so now we're scrambling getting people uh off the field it's got to come off for a play i know it's early but this seems like a big play for the rams defense uh with the way the butte's been moving the football they need a confidence builder and getting a stop here would be big i agree i think beat wants to talk it all over based on what matters going to talk things over they take their first time out here this afternoon we're going to take a 30 second break as well back in 30 seconds here you're listening to fresno city football on 9 40 kind of chino [Music] [Music] the greatest hits on earth [Music] kyno here at radcliffe stadium 1446 left to go here in the first half it is seven nothing butte over fresno city they took the opening kickoff the roadrunners did and went a long ways i think it was an 86-yard drive that they put together because they started deep in their own territory and they took 10 30 off the clock a lot of power football some smart short throws from their quarterback uh brian harper they took a seven nothing lead and now they're coming out in a crazy formation here on fourth and two kind of a swinging gate thing with the hole if it's lined to the left and they snap it directly to harper and the city defense is there to stop them and they don't pick up the first down there is a flag down however on the play so let's check the flag but if this is on butte this would be a big stop for city huge and i i really don't know what the flag is now they're talking about it it might be an illegal formation thing it could be they're talking things over trying to figure out the flag some of the view road runners have indicated that they believe it's on the rams the officials still discussing things so you came out in one of those formations that you see on extra points every now and then it was the old pat hill swinging gate unfortunately offsides on fresno city called [Music] apparently was lined up in the neutral zone there and there was some confusion from that fresno city defense for a minute and right apparently they got lined up a little too much into the neutral zone there so it's a first down for butte so wipe the fourth down stop off the board and the butte offense stays on the field again two receivers in the game for the roadrunners they bring a tight end in motion harper gonna give it behind him to williams and williams has another hole right up the gut he runs into number 46 of the rams of course that is the inside linebacker ian russell but not before he's picked up nine yards on the play another good gain on first down for butter i'll be honest with you scott this williams is getting some chunk yardage makes me feel like he's part of the fresno williams family paul williams yeah it wouldn't be surprising if your name is williams and you're in fresno county apparently you're a good athlete basically i played with curtis williams at bullard high and he ran like this on second one it's the williams for butte who picks up a first down to about the 15 and they're just going right up the gut on this they are and he's just getting yardage every time that's what honestly as a coach you get a little bit nervous when you're seeing somebody hit you like this hits you right in your mouth it's it becomes like danger zone where you're going they're just going to work the clock again on another driving score again i can't what am i going to do now now you got to start taking shots when you get the ball back the fresno city defense trying to run some guys into the game big rvel rogers in there at noseguard now williams nether carry left side a little better job by the rams defense this time as he is tackled after a short game still picks up three though so it's gonna be second and seven i mean how many times can this guy carry the football on the pace we're going here probably 50 or so i mean we're looking at a stat line 50 carries for 220 yards the way we're going second and seven now for butte williams does need a breather he is checked out but another big back coming in jeremy reed he's also a six foot 205 pounder they're going to give it to him but he's bottled up near the line of scrimmage ram defense doing a good job that time and that's kissling excuse me 94 in on the tackle another flag down let's check the flag we had a little uh action out between uh i can't even tell who that is scott i'm sorry on our side and wide receiver self-inflicted wounds here by fresno city a personal foul hands to the face on the defense so that is gonna give butte an automatic first down and it's gonna be first and goal from the five so the rams would have been off the field on that fourth short swinging gate play except for the offsides now they would have had butte into a third and long but the illegal hands to the face on the defense there on a running play which you don't see that often to be honest with you and it's first and goal from the five for bu type formation again williams behind his full back and william's going to get the football over a right guard and falls forward down to the one i mean williams is picking up too before any anybody hits him i i am so shocked at this view okay first of all we saw a swinging gate we've seen i formation they are running football plays as if you know mike brady your your counterpart was playing on this team it's pro formation it's it's not what people traditionally run right now he's under center again right now in high formation throwback football williams behind philippena in the eye on second and goal williams nosing forward over left guard and he's in another touchdown for butte so they've had the ball a couple of times they put together a couple long drives and a couple rushing touchdowns the officials talked about it and yes they are gonna give the touchdown to the roadrunner so it's 13 nothing beauty here there's an injured roadrunner down on the field while they attend to the the injured roadrunner let's take a quick break here you're listening to fresno city football on 940 kyno indoor air pollution is

and esther brook boots it through so 11 40 left to play here in the second quarter it's 14 nothing but over fresno city you're listening to ram football under 940 kyno see dealer for limited warranty

space he's out past the 30 before he's driven out of bounds near the 40 i think let's see the market it's a 37-yard return for the explosive connerly yeah they're gonna mark it outside the 40. they're going to mark it at the 41 for tim connelly i mentioned the explosive finally 10 touches that was his 11th touch touch this year um as a well i 10 touches as a receiver or a runner coming into this game four touchdowns almost 20 yards per touch four catches 166 yards over 40 yards per catch coming in so the numbers are crazy extremely explosive scott and and i think he had an argument for a horse caller on that play even though he wasn't taken to the ground on first and ten holiday going deep looking for connor lee it's just overthrown though he was trying to split the two safeties there on a go route i don't hate that justin threw that ball right there to be honest because i think view was coming forward just like fresno city has been all game and i think it you know you want to back them up a little bit so you can get you know the running back for for fresno city college whoever it is because they play a whole stable running backs a little bit of space you know right now it's fred green jr but and that's you know one who you and i discussed before the game we were excited to see play second and ten for the rams holiday thrown again guns one near side to aaron blancas really good throw nice catch they pick up 12 move the sticks first down fresno city that was one of the better throws seen by justin holiday this year since you and i have been covering them he he split a db and a safety who was coming down on the corner right on the on the pylon or not excuse me on the sideline and he he hit it perfectly on a line first and ten green on a zone read sweep around the right side almost had a little mishandling of the football there between holiday and green but green ended up taking it and get some good damage inside the 40 down to the 39 that's seven yards on the play so it's going to be second and three for the rams the rams in their white and red jerseys here today in their red jerseys white pants we've got the red helmets with the white ram on it butte college in their gold and black with white jerseys gold helmets black pants jacob tubbs getting his first carry of the game and he bounces it outside towards the boundary and gets the line to gain he does give him a first down three-yard pickup for jacob tubbs we moved the sticks so fresno city first down at the butte 36. this is really a big drive mike for city you got to get back in this football game the way things are going i completely agree and i actually thought jacob tubbs was going to break that one um but that was an excellent play by elijah o'neal for butte he's six foot four 230 pound linebacker from hazen high school going deep again looking for more far side on a fade route there is a flag down in the fresno city backfield it's going to be a personal foul roughing the passer on 58 of the defense the one i discredited brady kiss of death for elijah o'deal well for that hit he's going to get a spot on the sideline as he ran off the field they did run him off the field the 15 penalty is gonna put it at the butte 21. so the rams get a break let's see if they can take advantage of it they've got four receivers in the game now oxford and rollins to holidays left we got blancas and darien gaines to his right they're going to give it to tubbs he's got some open space to the left there it closed in a hurry though right three-yard gain for jacob it's gonna be second seven so from a coaching standpoint on that scott what i continue to see is them uh view as terms of them coming on defense their safeties come down really really quickly i mean i think at some point you know coach hollis needs to take a shot like you need to play action take a shot over the top i think you tried to at the beginning of the drive but i think it's it's worth doing again holiday gonna keep it on second and eight not much doing there that time it was the they faked the sweep around left end and all they just hung on to it but nothing there no game so it's going to be third well they're calling it seven here for fresno city butte college is well coached they've watched some film scott i mean i mean he broke out the first few games you and i commentated they are coming forward in their front seven they're coming forward every time third and seven holiday on a little bootleg action just throws it into the turf but that play got blown up in the backfield by number 55 of butte he came in on a good pressure and the rams look like they're going to go for it though on on fourth down i think the boys on the field just convinced coach cavillia they want this i think that's what you said scott they said let us try fourth and seven big play here from the butte 18 holiday in shotgun tries to get the roadrunners to draw sides doesn't appear to be working and now the rams are going to call a timeout for the rams are going to talk things over here kind of coming up when we return you're listening to fresno city football on 50 000 watt 940 kyno in the sierra foothills just 30 minutes east of fresno lies wonder valley ranch resort a very special bed and breakfast like no other with breathtaking views and activities for every appetite your bed and breakfast stay includes full use of the pools space [Music] the weekend needs fun little time off and of course breakfast with the beatles i'm dennis mitchell and this week we'll hear more advance from the get back weather project audio from a televised [Music] the greatest hits on earth [Music] welcome back to radcliffe stadium because the city coaching staff has talked things over and they've decided to bring nathan coons out on the field for a 35-yard field goal just perfect right through the uprights so the rams get on the board thanks to the 35-yarder from nathan coons the freshman out of mariposa high school good job kicking there good snap good hold and the rams execute the field goal really well so it's 14-3 now we're going gonna keep it here through this timeout it gives me an opportunity to give you our second clue in the name that ram contest again i'm giving clues about a former fresno city football player it's your job to figure out who it is and after i get the final clue then you can go to our facebook page the kaino 940 kano fresno kaino facebook page and you can give the answer for with a chance to win dinner for two to the manhattan steakhouse and bar and i can see my partner here mike brady is anxiously awaiting the second clue i don't know if he's cheated and looked over my sheet but the second clue let me give the first clue first this former ram is from a small city in madera county the second clue is he ran for 1300 yards as a senior in high school i think i'm throwing people off the path with that one our cameraman nick is trying to figure it out but no guesses [Applause] my brain was spinning right now that's why i was silent on the air because off after your first clue i actually thought i might have an idea especially considering the game we're playing in right now but i can't give it i can't give it away be a slow drip with the clues right kudz is gonna boot this one away after hitting that field goal good kick it's fielded near his own gold line by butte and the rams missed the tackle at about the 15 and there he goes jamal mcmurran is near midfield he's got one man to beat that's coons coons is able to get a hand on him and bring him down but what a return takes it at his to be honest with you but he brings it out into ram territory there is a flag down on the play though so this one may be coming back not quite sure what that flag was for however that being said he did make about three rams miss and break it to the outside of his sideline it was a great run but it is holding on them so wipe away the 65 yard plus return there from mcmurran mcmurran caught that kick going backwards at his own goal line and it looked like he was going to be taken down at his own 15 but he made a couple nice moves and then suddenly he was into the clear i have to admit he knew his abilities but if you did that in front of coach rivera playing friday you might have a little mouth full of something when you get back to the sideline because he was running backwards as you said into the inside zone what if your name's tim connolly and you do it i mean he looked like tim connolly i think either way you're going to get a talking too if you haven't been out to fresno city in the last couple weeks kind of a new vista here uh at radcliffe stadium uh the eucalyptus trees have come down and in our position here up near the press box we actually have a view of of the baseball park and the uh and the pratt was at the hammer throw area with the practice field out there so kind of a nice view now from this vantage point at least harper gonna play action looking to go deep on first down this could be picked off and it is big play for the rams that's cameron irving with the big interceptions his first bad decision that was a terrible decision he threw in the triple coverage you called it while the ball was halfway through the end this may be intercepted you can see that was a bad decision from up here maybe you couldn't see it down there but great play by the rams maybe a case of you getting a little too tricky because they've just been physically dominating this game through a quarter and a half and they decide to go play action and try to go deep and it backfires maybe it's time for the rams to get a little bit physical give it to fred green jr and that's exactly what they're gonna do they're listening to coach brady up here man the big linebacker there ends up taking him down actually it's it's number 50 for butte steven bryant he's six three two seven he's huge let me describe this to you green ended up picking up no yardage on the play it was a handoff that went over left guard green got to the line of scrimmage and at that point brian who's 270 pounds basically jumped on his back and green didn't go down immediately he did it he didn't go down he carried the 270 pounder for another yard i think i did hear something and you know through the grapevine that fred green jr can squat close to 500 pounds oh i believe it holiday going deep to connor he's got him open what a catch and it's a beauty absolutely [Applause] make it 14-9 is tim carley the touchdown maker does it again another big play a deep down the right sideline and when tim connelly gets behind you look out he uh is no good it hits the upright so nathan coons misses the extra point there is a flag down let's hold everything on second and ten from their 45 holiday goes up top to a streaking tim conley down the right sideline and connolly made a terrific catch he he actually left his feet got a little parallel didn't have to fully extend but made a very nice catch yeah he did kind of have to it was kind of awkward i think i think what happened was he runs so fast his his eyes are bouncing a little bit so uh the the ball was coming a little bit to his back shoulder and he kind of jumped and caught it into his chest just to make sure that he secured the catch for a touchdown right at the goal line for a touchdown the funny thing is that came right after mike brady said maybe it's time for the rams to get physical and then they go up top so maybe that's why i'm not coaching there anymore so very nice throw from justin holiday though yeah it was it was an excellent play um they had a little bit of action in the backfield based on the fact that maybe they thought like like you're you're you know your i was thinking that you know you might want to get a little physical with them back but um there was some action in the backfield that gave them the great the same sense and they went up top coon's going to kick it away here and mcmurran going to field it at his own three we saw what he did on the last kick let's see what he does this time this time he runs frenzo city defenders as mike likes to say some extra curriculars going on back behind the play between larry mcdowell and a couple members of the butte special teams unit and one flag is down another now another flag is down yeah i see two flags two separate areas i i definitely caught the one on the back end um two butte players against uh who was that scott you just said larry mcdowell the third blurry uh sophomore inside linebacker i like about larry is he's obviously loose for this game he told me his game day superstition morning yoga really yeah no great way to get loosened up for the game yeah are you serious pretend like you haven't done some downward dog in your day but i didn't expect him to [Laughter] wow we got we got some laundry on the field the officials still talking things over 14-9 butte leads fresno city 736 to go here in the first half butte jumped out to a 14-0 lead in this game remember last week also college of san mateo jumped out to an early lead on fresno city and then the rams found a way to fight back into that football game and they've done it as well here today a nathan coons 35-yard field goal and a big interception by cameron irvin one of a trio of sunnyside quarterback cornerbacks for this fresno city football team leads to a tim connelly 45-yard touchdown and it it's 14-9 butte here we got an official timeout scott we got we got the ledge on the fresno city side talking to coach c it looks like he's talking it over with his staff looks like this is something on butte that he's trying to determine what the best option is for his offensive coordinators alcoholism each other right now on the sideline yeah the call in the end was offsetting on sportsmanlike calls so no damage either way butte's going to start from their own 21. i've never understood when officials meet for about a minute and then come up with offsetting penalties i don't know just again a discussion for another day this is scott beamo's comment harper on first down going to hand it to willie gibson williams just lowers the head when he gets to that line of scrimmage and falls forward for another two i thought for a minute it was williams coming out of that pile but it was actually one of his offensive linemen who was yeah i had a fresno city ram on his back yeah i did too that was kind of awkward but it just showed you how physical butte is because whichever lineman that was which is driving his defender downfield so it looks like butte's going to get back to the power game here on this drive leading 14-9 approaching seven minutes to go here in the first half are you college fresno city college community college football here williams on a pitch ride and he has brought down a nice defensive play that time by jalen carter and i i got to get this note in since i'm calling jalen's name jalen wanted me to give a shout out to his mom shanoa carter and let her know that jalen's making plays that's awesome really so do you know you know we're listening today what's up for mike and i are tuning in your boys thinking about you yeah what is up that is awesome janet also on his questionnaire we asked him what nfl player he plays like he said nobody plays like me that's a confident young man right there go jalen third and six harper to throw rolling left being changed now he's being pressured and harper just has to chuck it towards the fresno city sideline and the rams are going to get off the field here was that the big name no it wasn't number 73 was excited after the play that's big okay abusium of fresno city again listed at six one two thirty on the roster i think it's more like six one three thirty yeah i don't i don't think that's right so the rams are going to get off the field they force a fourth and sixth key andre mcdowell going to go back to receive this punt dante jackson back to boot this one away for butte ramsay get the football back with a chance to take the lead things didn't look good about 15 minutes ago but things have turned oh good high kick kick fair catch is called for and taken by mcdowell at his own thirty i think we have another flag here we're starting to see like we did the other day they like to take their flags to the dry cleaners and then come back with them the next week you know how you're in like ppr fantasy leagues where you get a point per reception i wonder if in referee fantasy leagues if you get like a point per flag i'd have to pick up every one of these refs [Music] in the jc ranks a little bit flag happy first intent from the 20 for the rams as it was holding on the rams on the return or on the fair catch so the rams are going to start from their own 20 trailing 14-9 but 10-15 minutes ago of real time they were down 14-0 and things weren't looking good but suddenly they have the football possibly with a chance to take the lead they're gonna give it to green on first down bouncing right and maybe a little too much dancing on that one i kind of agree with you um he i think i don't think he trusted that uh that his you know offensive tackle number 72 adam salazar who's one of the best ones for fresno city was going to get the the the block to stretch it on the power play and he tried to bounce it and got caught up salazar the guest on our halftime show today you're gonna get to know adam a little bit better he's at a san joaquin memorial holiday on second and long pumps to his right and tries to feather one in [Music] well really gun one in to cathodrick's story streaking down the right sideline he had him open but just so you had mentioned this earlier scott on the last drive there's a couple times where justin holiday and i hope you know zach hollis mentions this to him and i know he will because he's a great offense coordinator you need to put a little air under the ball you got to give them a chance you can't gun it at him like a dart and throw it over his head he didn't even give him a chance on that and he was wide open up the sideline that would have been just like tim connor he's gone yeah there was an opportunity there third and nine for city play action to green here's rollins on a screen the other way rollins caught it behind the line of scrimmage it was taken down immediately by one of the defenders so the rams go three and out here and they're gonna be forced to punt rollins got up a little slow also um looking at the sideline and some guys were looking worried he's got a little hitch in his get along on the sideline but he got up he's tough kid so after a burst of energy where the rams got a field goal an interception and then a touchdown in a short period of time they get the defensive stop but they're not able to do anything with it so coons comes out there standing in a zone six takes a high snap but able to corral it decent kick it's gonna be taken by bunch and it's 42. good coverage by the rams the ball comes there's a scramble for it here the butte 43 and it looks like the road runners have gotten on it wow that was close scott honestly that was close i think they had i think they had it in their hands and um and it just kind of nobody couldn't really get any or corral it so i just got the possession now excuse me i apologize scott i will credit the referees in this crew they were talking about that after but they they did a like uh view possession and then they talked it over and then they still said you had the ball lights on now radcliffe shade almost fully engulfing the field mcwillian williams on the carry he gets it out to the 48. another run just over right guard power football from the roadrunners and they pick up five on first down i wish i would have known that this was butte's offensive attack because i would have been tallying how many carries this kid has um we're gonna have to check in with our crew but it's pretty impressive maybe maybe budgeting a stat man next year too as well maybe nick can do double duty he's videotaping this on the youtube channel by the way if you want to watch a video broadcast of this game harper on second and five like check my check check check good buddy [Music] we're currently experiencing technical difficulties and we'll be back to the game momentarily [Music] welcome back to radcliff we apologize [Music] for some technical difficulties there butte with the football still facing a second and eight on the fresno city 44 approaching three minutes to go here in the first runners half back to the run game here on this drive as they've crossed midfield and are now scrimmaging from the ram 44 leading 14-9 a couple short touchdown runs from the roadrunners a qb sneak from harper and a two yard touchdown from williams the rams answered with a field goal and then a touchdown they did miss the extra point though so it's 149. and eight thirds runners and that's gonna set up a third and seven for butte from the ram 43. you coming into this game at two and two on the season last week against modesto even though they lost that game 38-17 they rushed the ball 49 times for 217 yards so that game plan again being put into play here today against the rams harper in shotgun on third and eight he's gonna throw here comes the pressure the rams nearly get to him he somehow avoids the pressure and gets up field for a first down i think kwabena watson had a chance at him in the backfield got a hand on him but harper got away flushed out to his right and got to the sticks i have to admit the running back did a great job of punching quibbana watson kind of out um and around to open up a pocket for him and and quarterback he escaped on the right side yeah i mentioned uh being a great athlete a decathlete as well at butte college and a state qualifying decathlete so he can move he's got good size good athlete all around first and 10 for butte at the 35 of fresno city and they're gonna call a time out here they're gonna they're gonna talk things over so butte college takes another time out we'll take a quick time out as well you're listening to fresno city college football and 940 kaino if you'd like to see the most impressive one-of-a-kind hand-built dining room furniture carefully removing

past year call mr cool donald p deck be local buy local every locally owned business thanks you including kyno [Music] welcome back to radcliffe stadium scott bemis alongside former ram tight end mike brady butte college on the move again first and ten from the rams 35 leading 14-9 here in the second quarter and harper hits his tight end number 33 jace filipina down the right sideline and he gets into the end zone touchdown butte make it 20 to 9 road runners that was probably pretty good play by harper there scott he got a wheel roll by his tight end meaning he run out and up um right up the numbers outside the numbers out in between the numbers on the sideline and he couldn't hit that any better the coverage was there he hit it on a back shoulder throw and and the defensive back i wasn't i'm not aware of who it was but he got he got a little bit out of control and turned into a touchdown gabe estabrook on to try to convert the extra point and give the roadrunners a 12 point lead and he knocks it through so it's 21-9 on jace villapina's third receiving touchdown of the season overrunner's lead 21-9 you're listening to 940 kind of fresno city football 940 ky in all fresno the greatest hits on earth and fresno city college rams football chino [Music] [Music] the greatest hits on earth [Music] kyno [Music] 21-9 butte leaves fresno city 130 left to play in the first half here's harper on the kickoff return coming near side for the rams approaching the 25 before he is stacked up three or four roadrunners in on the tackle that's where the rams will begin this possession trailing by 12 now approaching halftime pretty deep my heart bro not to be honest i thought he was gonna be bottled up he broke it out to the outside on our side out of the numbers and then they closed that hole real quickly justin holiday leading the rams out again he's got four receivers in the game on first and 10 from his own 24. he's got green in the backfield with him to his right holiday thrown over the middle got an open receiver that's darian gaines and the buchanan product makes a nice move past the 40 still on his feet past midfield they're going to mark him out near the 47 of view darion gaines paris's son with a nice catch and run across midfield first down fresno city the rams are on the move there's no talent right there history of fresno talent in that family [Music] turning up to the line of scrimmage they've got four receivers in the game still three to the left drew moore split out to holiday's right green still in the backfield here's holiday gonna throw again steps up in the pocket now flush to his right hits green and green near the 40 one of the beaut defenders loads his head and i he knew it and he pointed at the ref as soon as he got on all fours jumped right up started clapping and i'm thinking we all know what that penalty is going to be targeting he might even be ejected or helmet to helmet personal foul 15 yards there's some chirping going on on that fresno city sideline as well i think quebec watson didn't like that hit too much and uh exchanging in a few verbal pleasantries i would say with the the defense right now yes and a coach went between him and the field that is the call personal foul so they're going to march this football down inside the 25 they're going to mark it at 24 for fresno city so in a couple plays the rams almost to the red zone here as they try to get on the board again before half time 102 left to play in this first half plenty of time here to get in the end zone if you're the rams all right three receivers split left here on first and ten from the 24 of butte the officials are still talking things over as they're over on that butte sideline talking with their head coach rob snelling zach hollis is definitely wanting to get in the end zone right now thinking a couple shots might be in order maybe a run or two to fred um you know the timeouts remaining maybe maybe a run or two to fred green jr but but i'm no he's i'm looking for a shot right now it's one of those situations as butte calls a a time out to talk things over yeah that's butte's final down i believe in the first half fresno city still with two left at this point so you got a minute or two on the clock you're at the 24 facing a first down plenty of time with the amount of timeouts you have left and it could be one of those situations where remember fresno city deferred after winning the uh the coin toss to begin the game so it could be one of those situations where you try to get a score go to halftime get the ball back and score again um that would be obviously be ideal for city i i think that like um i think you and i have the same mindsets when we watch football together now scott um we're morphing into one person so we're feeding really slowly with our commentary um i almost think and i hope you know neither coaching staff can hear me right now for my prior coaching abilities but i think that maybe you take a shot right now on first down and then fred green jr on second down leave yourself a third and short even if he doesn't get it and play four down territory from here with what's left with two timeouts just a reminder rams football on kyno brought to you by lithius subaru of fresno where more people buy their second third and fourth subaru because they're just that good ready to go again first and ten from the 24. four receivers in the game holiday looking to his right now scrambling and hits fred green inside the ten green lunching for the end zone did he get in he did touchdown of city [Applause] have cut the lead to six it's 21-15 viewed i have to be honest with you scott i don't even know what that route was he ran a swing route and i think he realized just such good legs that he was buying himself more time and i think it just became one of those backyard plays and fred green jr just decided i'm turning this up the sideline and justin holiday saw him and hit him perfectly it might have been a little bit of a broken play there where it just there wasn't really much of a design on the route holiday scrambled maybe forced that linebacker to come up and suddenly he was open the rams are going to go for two here to try to make it 21-17 holiday looking to his left he's gonna hit tubs this time and tubs has the two-point conversion so the rams get in with the two-pointer to tubs it's 21-17 54 seconds left in the first half you're listening to fresno city football 940 kyno rolls has one of the single largest in stock selections of beautiful new carpet hardwood vinyl and laminate flooring in central california but that isn't the most impressive fact i'd like to share with you these are the guys who will move your furniture 50 visit valley

experience nobody scrubs your air like donald p dick heating and air conditioning making your home but not only energy efficient but with significantly cleaner hair is just one benefit of calling mr cool donald dick at 255-1644 welcome back to radcliffe stadium we've had some offensive fireworks here recently 2117 butte now leads the rams with the rams just getting a little closer with under a minute to go here in the first half thanks to a justin holiday to fred green jr 24 yard td first career fresno city touchdown for fred green jr he makes it a memorable one then they get the two-point conversion holiday to another running back jacob tubbs out of the backfield they get the two-pointer so they cut the lead to four butte taking over now from their own 25. brian harper again calling the signals and handing it off again it was running back johnny williams and williams picks up five more i want you know the rams football on kaino brought to you by fresno first bank where they've added meaning to the word local i really do like the fact that fred green jr scored um from i'm not going to say this right scott but a mochi immokalee florida and jacob tubbs from ridgepoint texas they became great friends in camp and i like that when you've got two guys fighting for a position and they became great friends and then you see a touchdown by one of them and a two-point conversion catch by the other and we see their talent i mean they both come from hotbeds of football uh south florida and the state of texas near houston is where jacob tubbs is from he's from missouri city texas and they both are can really run that football the rams have four or five running backs who are really solid but uh unfortunately there's only one football to go around right all right i agree with you and that's why i thought that was really cool um that that offensive coordinator zach hollis goes for two brings in tubs after fred green jr makes a huge play gives fred green junior the the you know the credit on the touchdown and give you know tubs the credit on that two-point conversion i mean i i want all of you to get a taste of the football like you just said there's only one of them timeout is over butte ready to go second and five from the 30. they headed off to williams again and he is stacked up after a gain that's jalen carter again channel is going to be proud of this one his mom it is another good tackle from jalen carter the freshman out of the maryland area i believe he's dropping the flex on all of us right now too so i think he's a little fired up jalen carter i love this he went to st francis academy high school where he graduated in 2018 in baltimore and then for a bit he went to st francis university in loretto pennsylvania an fcs school so he went from saint francis to francis it's easy if you're a member of his family to buy shirts right you know you don't have to change any of the shirts you're wearing when he's in high school when he goes to college that's pretty funny we have another whistle here on the field and that gives me a chance to tell you that rams football and kyno brought to you by donald p dick heating and air for generations of mr cool so just something i see while we're kind of sitting here again quebec watson is walking in circles i think that hit that he saw that you indicated on the radio i think he's he's still going which is maybe all he needed to start doing i think he's a little upset in himself too on that scramble where he had a chance to take down harper and he couldn't get to him yeah looks like he's chomping at the bit right now he definitely does he can't stand still and we're on a timeout only 12 seconds left here in the first half i i would be really surprised if if butte didn't just take this into halftime yeah and the clock is running now under 10 seconds to play now so it looks like we're just gonna let this clock tick away and we're going to go to halftime with butte leading 21-17 over fresno city should be a great second half we'll bring it to you we're listening to ram football on 940 kaino fresno city college has a history unlike any other three minute 55 athletic championships

high school all right you ready for the third clue i love being the game show host here your third clue he was part of a ram team that went 10-0 in the regular season i think this might give it away from my partner here to my right but i'm sure there's some people scurrying at home on google and trying to figure out who went 10-0 during the regular season on my team and i think that i know that it just sucked me back into my original thought on your first clue to who it is but um i think i have some friends here [Laughter] let's hope so let's hope so i think the uh the fourth and final clue i think is going to give it away so you got to be you got to be ready i'm ready ready for that fourth clue which will probably come at the in between the third and fourth quarter just to give you a heads up we are ready to get underway here in the second half i don't think that i'm qualified to uh give an answer in regards to uh my position sitting next to you all right dante jackson kicks it off it's taken by number 34 of the rams of course that's the running back there hunter hogue at a fireball high school and the 5 70 pounder puts a nice return together he gets out here that was a really good return considering what he had on that side there's they shut him down again and now he's returned from fresno city bouncing outside the numbers on both sides of the field and getting some good yardage so the rams we'll take over here i mentioned at the end of the first half that they might go to put that double together where you could get a score at the end of the first half and get the ball to begin the second half and try to get some more points on the board let's see if they can do it another chance to possibly get a touchdown and go in front here against the roadrunners holiday with green back there he's gonna give it to fred and fred sneaks his way through the point of attack and gets up field for a gain of seven there you see the the shiftiness of fred green fred green is is giving the sign of the sideline to feed me feed me i can't really argue with that what we saw last week and tonight and i believe you said something last week about him and and a predecessor adrian james was that what you said he supposedly broke some of edrin james's records at immokalee high school it's from what i hear okay they fake it to green on second and three and holiday keeps it on his own concept and unfortunately probably should have given up because he loses two on the play it's going to bring up a third and five [Music] the lights are on now here at fresno city darkness is slowly descending upon ratcliffe stadium and smoke rolling back in a little bit scott notice yeah the air quality has not not been good i guess that could you know you never know that could play a factor in this game fresno may be a little used to although butte probably dealing with the same thing on third and five holiday good tough run inside the tackles on another zone read and he picks up the first down so a big third down conversion for fresno city yeah he gave a nice little uh butte college williams style push push forward forward progress got the first down even though he got pushed behind the sticks um after that they gave him the forward progress in the first down chains are moving we gave a shout out to jalen carter's mom shanoa earlier in the broadcast want to give a shout out to justin's extended family all listening in chicago thanks for listening guys first and ten for the rams green bouncing it out to the right side then tries to cut it up field puts the foot in the ground for about three yards i i do have to say maybe coach horman said something to him at a half time about when we were talking about him trying to stretch the one where he actually had it behind adam salazar right there i actually think he should not have put his foot in the ground i think he should have tried to stretch it and get outside but you know when you got the ball in your hands and things are moving quickly things happen green in the backfield to holidays right there's two receivers right arius in there is like an h-back story unable to make the grab that's the second time we've seen that unfortunately catandra having a tough time tonight hanging on to the football you mentioned fred green his high school prowess there in immokalee florida i read a story on him this week where his high school coach said that he thought there were only a couple running backs better in southwest florida than fred greene when he was a senior and we all know the type of talent that exists in southwest florida he was the 2017 winner of the of the naples daily news's brockton trophy for the area's best overall player so this is a serious talent here's holiday cutting back makes a nice move at midfield gets the first down they're gonna mark him out at the 40 of butte but there is some laundry on the field so this might be coming back on the play there's two more fantasy points for you in your fantasy official game that you indicated penalty is earlier we're gonna do a ppr league for the rough fantasy league yeah holding on the rams unfortunately which wipes away a terrific run by by justin holiday when justin gets out in the open field like that and makes a move i'm telling you he he reminds me of colin kaepernick with the football at least running with the football he does he really does that's actually a great analogy he he's got those long strides and all of a sudden you're seeing that he's picking up two three yards every stride and and he's passing people when it doesn't look like he's running fast yeah and then he's gone suddenly too yeah with those long shredders it doesn't look like they're moving fast but they are second or third and long haul they getting pressured and he's brought down number 19 ronald nieto the outside linebacker to be bishop the node high school in reno gets the sack so suddenly what looked like a promising possession for the rams at the butte 40 gets wiped away because of the penalty and then a sack and now the rams are going to have to kick it away from their own 25 and i'm looking down at coach hollis and coach harmon and they're not happy a self-inflicted wound justin you know holiday not feeling that on the back side not getting rid of the football not doing something with it going to your check down and losing the amount of yardage you just indicated i mean it shoots you in the foot coons punting from his own 15. not a great kick but gets a a decent roll picks up about four more yards it was a knuckler it goes out of bounds at the beaut 39 and that's where the roadrunners will take over leading 21-17 with 11 30 left to go here in the third quarter rams football brought to you by valley remnants and rolls make it new again and save 20 to 50 percent 21-17 butte leads fresno city butte taking the field for their first possession of the second half brian harper in there at quarterback and johnny williams behind him at running back williams was the featured back in the first half we'll see if they go to him again here early in the third they fake it to him this time harper going to keep it around the right side and a good tackle is made out there by matthew sanchez one yard the fresno state bounced back high matthew sanchez came flying that out of his his safety position about 15 yards off the ball saw what was going on recognized he had no threat in his zone which appeared to be his own everyone's backed off the line of scrimmage and and came downhill and made it excellent tackle just beyond the line of scrimmage second and nine for butte from their own 39 another tight formation williams going to get it this time bounces it through the line of scrimmage good running by johnny williams had a hole but got the most out of it as well kept defeat churning nice spin move at about midfield he's into ram territory at the fresno city 48. good running backs for blue college there's nothing more you can say than that it's pretty straightforward good running 48 yard line it's kind of an eerie feeling out here at ratcliffe right now with the smoke and this time of night almost has a ghostly feel it does i guess halloween is coming up so it's appropriate first and ten for butte at the ramps 48 williams trying to bounce at this time and does a good job of finding a way to pick up about five looks like he might be stopped for a two-yard gain but gets forward and he seems like he always falls forward uh they're going to officially give them a fit i guess it'll be second and five for the road runners pretty impressive i mean he i don't think you can say it any better than you're saying that scott he every single time finds a way to lean forward and get another two to three yards the rams gotta find a way to get off the field here they they need to produce a negative play somehow second and five for butte and coming off the edge just like that i'm a soothsayer i guess outside linebacker taj hawk the the hoover grad with a big play it's a tackle for loss they're gonna lose two yards on the play as taj comes off the edge and makes a terrific play tackling williams in the backfield i think you should just scott i think you should just do less of uh you know saying it as a coach as i am and just start doing you know the comments that need to be done here's what you guys need to do you need to get a loss and then they just go ahead and do it what should i predict on this play defensive pick six i don't think i think so all right let's see if it happens third and nine for fresno city butte got a couple receivers in the game and you got three of them in there two are split out to the right and they're going to call a timeout they got scared of scott bemis they heard me predict to pick six and so they thought hey let's talk things over a little bit let's take a 30-second timeout ourselves we're listening to fresno city football 940 kinda [Music] newspaper it's a seasonal publication for the car nut head hot rodder and enthusiast in the central valley the paper features an events calendar for car shows shines and swaps with plenty of stories about motorsports and the people that make it happen head into your local nava or o'reilly store for the latest issue old cars and motorsports thanks keino for playing her favorites since the 50s and thanks to the advertisers that make this magazine freaking move scott fema's alongside former ram tight end mike brady butte college and fresno city college going at it here at radcliffe stadium very competitive football game 21-17 the roadrunners deleted here with 855 left to play in the third quarter butte facing a third and eight from the rams 47. big play here spread out pretty good too here scott in a pistol formation see what they do out of the timeout harper play action looking to his left he's got an open receiver out there that goes through his hands adam bunch who made a bunch of plays in the first half misses an opportunity there he was wide open would have had the first down and it just went right through his hands adam bunch no pun intended there scott with a bunch of plays in the first half he's he's a great player but yeah i think that was a little overthrown i'm not going to blame that on adam munch it was a little i think adam would have said he comes down with that nine out of ten times don't you think maybe i looked a little bit i mean he had to go to he had to leave his feet but i mean he had he got both hands on it i i will mention when i was playing i i if the ball touched your fingers my offensive coordinator at the time said you should catch it and even if you touch your fingernail i like it high expectations right well the butte has punted it away and the rams have called for a fair catch at their own 14. so they're going to take over there another opportunity to possibly take the lead here and this was the point in the game last week things got away from the rams right against the college of san mateo they took a lead in that early in that second half and then suddenly things got away from him so a big drive here i mean you want to get in front you want to find a way to edge in front of the roadrunners and what do you think scott i mean i know you got to play call this player right now but tell me what you think in terms of how you would attack them after this on first and ten green on the carry does a jump cut to his left and then gets out past the 20. picks up about four on the play i mean i'm always a big fan of the big play so i would love to get tim connolly in the game and and really stretch that defense vertically i i knew you were going to say that and i honestly agree with you i think we have the same football philosophies i love fred he's done a great job but they're they're bottling him up a little bit he got you know four yards right there whatever but let's take a shot you got tim connor second and six from their own 17. quick hitter to blancas blancas getting right up field love to see that going north and south caught the football and immediately got forward for the first down give him eight on the play move the sticks first down fresno city a lot of guys coming in and out off the field really quick no huddle offense by fresno city college exchanging a lot of guys ryan hunts in there now at h-back um kelly another clove is this guy checking into the game as well at receiver guitar story in there as well drew more split out to the left green in the backfield holiday gonna give it to green here comes fred coming right cuts it up field he's past the 35 and rules over a tackler near the 40. they're going to mark him down at the 40-yard line give him 15 on the play another first down for the rams clapping five was his best friend tubbs he's coming in to check in for him you mentioned that uh fred green could probably squat 500 pounds well in high school apparently he could already squat 450 so i'm guessing he can yeah he's five seven and he can squat 500 pounds i think tubs is close to that too and speaking of tubs he gets the handoff here on first and ten takes a big shot over here near the sideline from joseph sapp no defensive back that was a huge hit right on the sideline and it was perfectly legal i'm sure tubbs is taking a few hours back in texas though so he jumped right up and threw the ball to the roof and said all right what's next i like to see that second and five for the rams [Music] stanley oxford in the game now at receiver he's split out wide to the left in the slot that way is sean kelly cathedral story out to the right it's tubs in the backfield with holiday ryan hunt in the game has a tight end and the whistle is going to blow [Music] and these are the kind of penalties if it's on fresno city that just drive a coach crazy got a nice rhythm going here you put a couple first downs together and then suddenly you go back and it's first and fifteen second and ten now excuse me so they're in a great situation second and five and now they're looking at second and ten but you gotta wipe it away next play mentality right right you gotta wipe it away but it is um the one thing i will say about this fresno city coaching staff they'll just move on to the next play like you just indicated they're they're frustrated that but this will come up in the team room after the game not not here just keep moving forward holiday in shotgun he moved oxford a little further out to the left now looking left he's going to scramble try to get up field and might have pulled it down a little too quickly on that one tried to get back to the line of scrimmage it's going to go down as a sack as he loses two on the play i'm beginning to think scott that uh butte college has a spy on on just a holiday um by the name of coley lemieux a linebacker six foot 215 freshman out of copper hills high school he's spying him i was gonna say this sounds like the bourne identity or something like that butte college as a spy looking after justin holiday i like it espionage out here at radcliffe stadium third and eleven holiday can he make a play steps up in the pocket looking deep he's got rollins terrific throw he's at the 30. the 20. he's gonna score ten and five touchdown fresno city it's a td [Music] just like that it's 23 21 rams 5 47 left to go in the third huge secondary fielded at about the 30 of the roadrunners made a couple nice moves and he found paydirt 23-21 extra point pending nathan coons up and good this time make it 24-21 so the rams have come back after falling behind 14-nothing early lead 24-21 547 left in the third you're listening to fresno city football on 50 000 watt 940 kaino part of the fashion furniture experience is seeing things you wouldn't expect like the absolutely beautiful collection of office furniture it's not included incredibly you can uh come back after dozens of interesting designs to choose from and hundreds more in our catalog design center fashion furniture office experience there's nothing like it in all of california on el paso across from river park [Music] a 61-yard catch and throw from justin holidays to barbie rollins and just like that the fresno city rams have their first lead of this ball game against butte 24-21 the rams lead now with under six minutes to go now in the third quarter and when justin holiday gets to step up in the pocket and deliver like that he looks great let's give some credit to that rams offensive line there i cannot believe that they've made this perfect pocket around him i know they're trying to contain him because of his legs he stepped up in the pocket and hit what he needed to hit and i have to tell you scott to borrow oh loose ball on the kickoff it was a short kickoff it was mishandled near the butte 20 and are the rams on it it looks like it's going to stay with you by nathan coons remember when uh butte was kicking off from the 50 yeah i said i don't understand why teams don't try to pooch it in that situation or do something and because i mean you can boot it you can boot it towards uh you know pasadena if you want here at radcliffe but you might as well take a chance on recovering it and i mean that was a normal kickoff but a perfectly placed kick like that it was a pooch like you said it was it was very awkward it dropped at about the 23 right right in front of the up man so he he kicked it between the first line and the up man and what a great placement and they almost got it the rams on first down new quarterback in the game he's looking long throws it up and say hill almost came down with it of course he's a member of the fresno city ram secondary and they brought in quarterback tanner hughes and i think what they were trying to do there was catch the rams off guard where the rams would think that hughes who came in to run a little tim tebow style uh wildcat in the first half was just gonna be running the football and then suddenly he goes deep but he was thrown into double coverage there i agree um and and the secondary for fresno city i mean they were on top on that there was three guys on that it wasn't there but i do get what you're saying i think they were they were trying to take a shot which i can't blame them because we talk about that all the time so brian harper back in the game at quarterback for beauty fakes it on first down and throws it out in the flat to the guy who caught the touchdown pass earlier filipina and filipina has a first down little pena kind of an h-back tight end type also lines up with the full-back position in this offense he's got a lot of passes this year came in with several receptions for 88 yards one of the team leaders actually uh in that department and uh he's been active and involved today before when we had that pooch kick i was talking about you said something about justin holiday of scooting up in the pocket making a throw the one thing i was thinking during that touchdown is they have a dynamic duo now of tabari and tim and that is scary for other teams because i don't know who you focus on now [Music] jorge can you hear me you guys are back oh we're back apologize for that little technical malfunction there gain a one for butte on first and ten from their own 32 so it's gonna be second and nine for the roadrunners trailing for the first time today they jumped out 14-0 in this game but the rams have slowly worked themselves back into this football game and now i've taken the lead here in the third quarter on second and nine harp we're gonna swing it out to philippena again another good game is he's got open field out past the 50. and i think this is a product of how well they ran the football in the first half they're doing some play action and you know the hvacs are getting out into some open space the hvacs and they're throwing some swing routes and stuff like that and i don't know when we lost what i was saying based on our technical difficulties but what i was saying to you scott was the duo of tim connerly and tabari now at tabari rollins it's it's scary if i was a coach on the other side i'm sitting there going i got a dope i can't double both of them like you said there's only one football there's only so many guys on a football field so there's some really good skill position talent on this fresno city football team harper on first and ten from midfield hands it off to his big back williams and williams as we've said a lot today picks up about four running between the guard and the tackle there over the right side williams looking a little slower getting back to the huddle he's gonna need a nice bath and so are these ram defenders to be honest with you after having to tackle uh williams all day long here they're gonna feel this one come sunday morning on both sides because this has been a physical football game up front it really has this looks like old school football like when i played i'm not aging myself but you know second and seven and williams again lowers the shoulder collision there in the hole that's number 45 of the rams meeting williams in the hole john ambrose out of selma john with a very good game last week had a couple tackles tackle for loss and a fumble recovery gets in there for a good stick there on second down so it's gonna be third and five for i'm continuing to widen down here in the third quarter now 45 left to play here in the third 24 21 fresno city leads butte on the move attacking the north end zone here at ratcliffe harper on third down fakes the run in the backfield and then took off running and he stopped short of the first down i think that was a beaut i think the running back for the first time went the wrong way and he was stuck with the ball in his hand and said you know i should just find the hole that he was supposed to run through and see if i can do something and that didn't work so harper running over towards the sideline gets the call from the bench over there they are gonna go fourth and two from the fresno city 42. now in the third quarter you coming out in a power formation one receiver in the game a fullback and a tailback that's williams harper going to give it to williams williams over right side has the first down as beaches does more power football simple off tackle student body right this is amazingly physical game as you just indicated on the last series of pounds right there williams just has no regard for his own body he goes he's a good runner very good runner i'm impressed it's got to be a nice feeling when you're a head coach and you know on third and two or fourth and two that you can just line up in an old school i formation with a full back in the game and pick up the first down first and ten from fresno city's 38 and i think cameron might have done something he shouldn't have one he totally did something he shouldn't have cameron a db another one of the sunnyside guys for fresno city in that ram secondary he tossed the wide receiver at the end of the play while the wide receiver was stock blocking him nowhere near the play that's the type of thing that will get coach rick scheidt all over you in the video room and i expect it dan and then brown coach brown he's gonna he's gonna get after you like i mean he might get after you right now to be honest yeah yeah he is i'm watching him on the sideline and he's not happy yeah i think he's getting it from about three different coaches right now at least a stare down from three different coaches coach c though going over and talking to the official he may have disagreed a little bit with the call first and 10 for butte they're going to mark it at the 15 now of fresno city trying to retake the lead here in the third and that's the other big back in the game number 24 but they're going to say he's down on the ground the ball came loose but they're going to mark him down they're going to say his knee was down that's jeremy reed on the carry he picked up eight here the ball came out but i think he was down and as you've indicated on our broadcast we don't have instant replay here in junior college football but i did see that ball pop out it was very close but those refs were a lot closer than me up here so go with it 421 fresno city leads butte under a minute to play now in the third quarter butte threatening second and three from the eight of fresno city williams going to get it on the ground he's around the right side lowers the shoulder again and there's that man again cameron brocka cameron's gonna have to get the ice bath tomorrow that's a couple big hits there that he's delivered on williams and williams delivered him right back to be honest with you yeah i agree with you scott i think that's what i'm really impressed with with williams this is the williams i don't want to make a stretch on this but it's our fresno audience you know everybody but uh it's giving me a little more a bit of a maurice morris vibe to him a little bit i'll be honest he's a good big back yeah there's still time left here in the third quarter interesting situation as butte went over to the sideline like they were gonna let the quarter wind down then they ran back on the field and fresno city has to call a timeout i have never seen that before i have never seen that before it was almost like a like a you know hiding the ball play in baseball they went over to the sideline they sprinted back on when fresno city came to their sideline yeah so butte had the football the clock was winding down they could have let the clock run down to the end of the third quarter their whole fence went over to the sideline and eventually the fresno city defense came over to the side they might have even been called over by their coaching staff correct and once the fresno city defense got almost all the way over to the sidelines suddenly the butte offense printed on the field there were still about 10 seconds left in the quarter and we had a fire drill out there for a minute we had the first football trick play i've ever seen in that regard where you're going to utilize the clock and make people you know we're going to come to the sideline not a bad thing butte is very well coached well look at it this way they they force the ramps to use one of their timeouts and we've got a tight football game where you're going to want those timeouts later right so we are going to have one more play here then to end the third quarter this should be the last play of the quarter butte has a first and goal from the fred city four yard line now beautiful happens to you some time now with their coaches very interesting when you i don't know what they were gonna do before but now they're talking another one i'm expecting more power football here type formation again on first and goal from the four williams in the backfield behind harper he's going to get it around right tackle cuts it up reaching for the goal line did he get in he didn't think so the linesman near side has lifted his arms and giving him the touchdown williams he didn't stand out to me like this on film i'll be honest with you wow seeing him live good running we don't have an official stack keeper up here but i got to think that he's with like 40 to 45 carries in this football game i agree that's why i was saying that at first half i wish so it's 2724 butte gabe esther brook on to convert the pt high snap holder gets it down holder and esther brook puts it through that's a big extra point as butte now leads 28 27 24 or 28 28 24. so they go up by four points that's why it was big now a field goal will not tie the football game for fresno city and that that play also brings us to the end of the third quarter so after threatening butte leads 28-24 you're listening to fresno city football on 940 kaino [Music] with fresno first bank i can walk in i can give a call or i can actually shoot a text and get an answer to my question i don't have to experience the torture of dealing with a big corporation that's unique kyle not everyone you can just give me 30 on this i haven't been able to find a bank who's been able to help and whenever you got it so open and communicated with you through technology [Music] mike brady got nicholas up here working the video i got jorge rodriguez and cal mack man in the controls back at our fulton station fresno city and butte college but at least 28-24 about ready to kick off after getting in the end zone and retaking the lead the kick is away and it's going to be fielded by hunter hogue in his own end zone and that's going to be a touch back gives me an opportunity to tell you the rams football kind of was brought to you by the 4 000 members association of realtors let me give you a heads up that we will be giving you the final clue in the name that ram contest the next opportunity we get when we have a little break in the action my two thousand ninety nine two thousand teammates better be listening in right now if you're not at the stadium an opportunity for dinner for two a manhattan steakhouse could be up for grabs how great would it be if the person who the trivia question is about won the contest what are the rules on that we never discussed that we haven't outlined the rules uh completely just yet green on first down bust one into the secondary good game for fred green give him 12 on the play first down fresno city green with this big monster tasmania it was not something i expected green going to work here in the second half remember had his first career fresno city touchdown late in that second quarter on a pass from justin holliday sure it's gonna be the first of many first and ten from the 37 green again bounces it right side trying to get into some open space has the corner now trying to get up field stays in bounds and gets up near the first down marker boy i tell you he's a fun running back to watch i think i like the way you described him earlier and it must be the leg strength that you said i mean if you're if you're squatting almost 500 pounds you can put your foot in the ground your legs can't handle it you know and rip up the turf and get close you know get make cut something that normal running backs wouldn't be able to compare i think there's a lot of ronnie rivers in him i agree with you i think that's a great analogy for our audience who haven't seen him play it he's only played in two games this year first and ten from the 36 and whistles blow another procedure call looks like false start on the rams this is what you were talking about scott coach is going to lose his mind coach hollis is already losing his mind i'm looking at the sideline you're shooting yourself on the foot yeah it goes from first and 10 to first and 15 again the rams have been able to overcome these a couple of times let's see if they can do it here tubs has checked in for green in that ram backfield ryan hutton the game has an h back two receivers right one in the slot he comes in motion that's tabari rollins rollins trying to get to the corner and a really good defensive play is made by butte college great defensive player he saw that before that was very evident maybe this is the opportunity where you know coach hollis is looking at this and you take that fly sweep and you do something with justin holiday and shoot it down the field to tim connolly maybe that's what he's setting up but in holiday and shoot it down the field to tim connolly maybe that's what he's setting up but they were coming forward on that just like they have been all game you could call it a premiere play actually yeah because it was from premier murphy a uh freshman out of pittsburgh high school in pittsburg california holiday now on second and 18. gonna fake the handoff to tubbs looking down the field guns won towards drew moore and good defense on the play again that's gizelle lewis the sophomore db with a nice breakup on that pass intended for more that was a very good route um he's he's been looked at all during champ over fall and i honestly in the first few games you and i have called as being the kind of down the sideline guy with his height and he uh he ran a dig route right there and he was open for a second all right third and 17 for the rams from their 43 bad snap and holiday has to fall on it [Music] so it looked very promising uh some good runs from fred green junior but then you get the false penalty the tackle for loss and then a bad now the good news is they have a chance here to pin view deep agreed and now i'm starting to have a you know personal debate with myself because i keep telling them to take a shot but fred green juniors who got him down to that position you know maybe just keep riding him just like they are with williams yeah i mean fred took himself out of the game um because i think he needed a blow after those runs as coons gets ready to kick it away nearly blocked it's going to hit at the butte 16 and larry mcdowell gonna get on and he hit it i think at about the 14 and that's where they're going to mark it that gives me an opportunity as the officials are gonna blow the whistles again they're gonna discuss a flag here but i'm gonna tell you about name that ram all right this is gonna be the fourth and final clue in the name that ram contest so get to that kaino facebook page and give your answer once i give it here you go i've given you the first three let me repeat them real quick first clue this former ram is from a small city in madera county with number two 1300 yards as a senior in high school clue number three he was part of a ram team that went 10-0 in the regular season and the fourth and final clue is he had seven career interceptions at fresno state and played in super bowl 41. again seven career interceptions at fresno state and played in super bowl 41. can you name that former fresno city ram go to the kyno facebook page give your answer if you're the first to do it you could win a dinner for two to the manhattan steakhouse and bar in west fresno if we get an answer we will give you the answer here on the broadcast butte taking over from their own 15 first and ten call 14 actually leading by four and williams over right tackle again leans forward give him he just doesn't stop and you got to give some credit too to those guys up front for butte college as well they've just been pounding on fresno city all game long and uh you know fresno city has gotten off the field a few times they're trying to run some different guys in there and stay fresh but this is the time in the game when when you've been dealing with a running back coming at you all game long where sometimes it can take its toll right and with this smoke rolling in that you talked about earlier it's not cooling down very much that's why i mentioned that getting negative plays are huge in this situation you saw what happened to fresno city on their last drive when they went backwards to begin a series of downs williams again near the first down marker he picks up four more so it's going to be third and one continues to tick we're under 11 minutes to play now in this football game 28-24 butte college over fresno city the rams coming in at three and one trying to avoid a second loss in a row butte college trying to get over 500 on the year at three and two third and one williams in the backfield gotta expect he's gonna get the football oh what they do they get tricky i saw this play in the nfl last week i think the niners did it came in motion and then went under center and took the snap on the snake well that's what butte did right there and they pick up the first down it works give them two on the play they're gonna move the sticks i do appreciate butte college not only running it up the gut and just coming right at you but occasionally just throwing in a little creative boise state type play you know it's like we're gonna come right at you and then occasionally you're not ready for this take this you know to your face approaching 10 minutes to play that's a former football player talking right there first and 10 for butte williams and he is wrapped up this time good defense there by keenan wolfe and keenan puts the hand up to acknowledge that he was the one who made the tackle the wolf man gets in there that's a two yard gain so it's gonna be second and eight yeah he definitely jumped up like you just said scott is like i think he's that was a move of i've had about enough of this it was like the old dennis rodman move when he made a rebound he'd put the hand in the air just let everybody know yep i made that rebound keenan wolfe of course one of the sophomore leaders on this team out of buchan in high school he played in 2019 second leading tackler on the team in 2019 and he's the second leading tackler on the team coming in second and eight from the 28 and good defense again by fresno city as they're forming a wall there at the point of attack that's abusive big okay in there forming a wall along with anthony aldape as well so the rams have been shuffling in some different guys on that defensive front jaylen carter also in there right now and they have forced butte into a third and six it is a different kind of defensive line here scott now you say that they went with their big personnel it's all big boys now i can see why when they're running downhill at you with williams third and six big play here for butte harper gonna throw getting pressure by pedro davidson and it's incomplete it's incomplete good pressure by that fresno city defense pedro davidson haven't called his name a lot yet this year but the sophomore of greenville high school in alabama getting in there putting some pressure on the quarterback and the fresno city defense has gotten off the field did did coach wright and coach hawkins the defensive line coach coach scheidt the defensive coordinator they get together and just make a little personnel change like you just talked about put big bodies up front and say we've had about enough bringing wolf and have him make a play i mean it looks like they've switched it up a little bit on their defense i like it at the end of the game the beauty partner standing in his own 16 key andre mcdowell the dangerous key andre mcdowell back to receive this punt at his 36. the kick is a decent one near the right sideline goes out of bounds at around the 30. looks like they're going to march 28-24 butte college leads the rams 8 34 left to play the rams have the football back they'll have a chance to go back in front what are we expecting here mike on this series i i'm starting to question what i was telling you earlier like i indicated on the last series i i think you got to give him a whole lot of fred green jr i mean i know you're i know you're down in the game and that seems to make no sense but i mean that you were driving down the field with that we started losing rhythm when and now we got about snap holiday try to throw it away justin he did really good job actually by justin holiday it was to throw that football away you got he took a shot while he did so too um that was just gonna answer your question i think fred green jr would be nice to do i mean when you have bad snaps like that there's another another shot in the foot i mean you're looking at coach hollis on the sideline and it's just he's walking in circles it's been well documented the the issues with the center position for fresno city had some injury issues up there actually their top two centers went down with injury andrew wiens had been doing a really good job for most of the night but he's having some trouble recently second and ten good job by holiday to throw that one away holiday over the middle and it's intercepted tried to force one in in the direction of darion gaines and it was picked off to zelda lewis with a terrific play on the football for butte college and they're going to take over in ram territory i think lewis just baited him i mean he was sitting on that the whole time justin holiday needs to see that he baited him he cool routed it and he threw it when he thought he should throw it and louis just undercut it he was ready for the whole thing so butte's going to take over after the big interception at the ram 37 821 left to play i want to tell you that ram football on kyno brought to you by fashion furniture across from river park there's nothing like it in all of california and i don't mean to say i told you so there scott but i told you so give them some fred green junior and don't take these risky things it's not time yet there was plenty of time left on the game clock yeah one problem they keep putting themselves in bad down and distant situations uh william's on first down but yeah the way fred green's been running the football recently we would love to see more fred for sure picks up four it's gonna be second and six so that next play mentality has got to be in play here this defense needs to hold them to at least a field goal here to keep the rams in this football game they bring they bring back in a different personnel on defensive line i see the bibs moses is out there they're they landing right in right yeah yeah the walla manga i mean they're putting in fresh legs i can appreciate that williams again following a blocker inside the 25 stays on his feet it takes three rams to finally get him to the turf at the 23. williams has got to be approaching 150 200 yards rushing in this game i would assume so we don't have a static statistician with us but um i don't i kind of wish now i didn't recognize on film that he was this kind of runner i wish i knew how many carries he has and i wish i could i could kind of figure that out but he uh he can run and it seems as if he's not getting tired yeah he came in having already rushed the ball 57 times this year so he's used to being a workhorse 7-eleven left to play now williams again on first down and a good play by the fresno city defense this time although the pile keeps moving forward you know williams is a big body and it's tough to get him moving backwards but still good defensive play by fresno city they hold them to a gain of two so it's second and eight now under seven to play now 28-24 butte um i made an analogy earlier to maurice sports who i played with here at fresno city college i was looking at the roster here for for butte college they're the exact same size so um i think williams could potentially have a nice future ahead of him being that i'm seeing him live and the way he runs he runs very similar and um that's a uh you know not to not to uh ruin this for you in the future but he could be a former ram to remember uh similarity there's an injured ram getting up a little gingerly is deshawn ruffin the cornerback out of sunnyside deshawn being helped off the field by right now by one of the trainers 2824 butte college over fresno city 639 left second and eight for the roadrunners the balls at the fresno city 20-yard line the rams need to hold butte to at least a field goal here to keep this a one-score ball game to give the offense a chance yep the roadrunners got the football after the interception from justin holiday a terrific play also by tiselle lewis i think that your main goals what you just indicated scott is just is just even if we give up three points i mean essentially they're already in field goal range you got to stop them you have to stop them you got to prevent a touchdown you're going to put yourself in the same situations last week against san mateo and we're you're rushing to get back and and take the lead again second and eight again i formation williams behind a fullback harper letting the clock run down smartly approaching 615 left to play harper now under center single receiver in the game a couple of tight ends tight formation power formation and he's going to give it to williams cutting through his caden ochoa the bakersfield product big play gives a little flex towards the fresno city defense no gain on the play so it's going to be third and nine might even even been a loss of one i believe it was a loss of one and kayden got a fired up just relaxing i think he's trying to hype him up each individual that can do that and get everybody pumped up is a great thing for fresno city college with 5 42 remaining in the game caden really smart football player starting quarterback linebacker as well in high school was on the honor roll so kg move right there to get into that backfield anticipated the run and got in there for a tackle for loss all right so big play here third and nine under 5 30 to go now in this football game butte 28 fresno city 24 and delay a game is that what we have oh we do wow so moving back another five yards by the way i want to bring up something interesting that i saw on the sideline here before that second down play simeon nenedov who was the starting center to begin the season and we've been hearing that he might be healthy enough to come back after being injured was taking snaps practicing snaps over on the sidelines so i wouldn't be surprised if he came in possibly for the final possession wow third and 14 now for butte ball on the 26th of fresno city and they're gonna fake the run play harper to play action and queben watson stayed at home got just enough of his leg and brings him to the turf another loss on the play and they're moving backwards and this is going to be no chip shot field goal either anymore no i agree with you in a corpena i i actually had my eye on him a little bit on that place he bull rushed got around the corner he completely dominated a humongous offensive tackle from butter a little bit unique that he bull rushed him so butte lining up now for a 46-yard field goal attempt and it's they're looking to throw now throw it deep and incomplete so bad snap fresno city is going to take over that defense has held big series of downs for the defense the rams are going to have a chance wow what a unique set of downs right there i mean it was almost the opposite of what was been happening with fresno city college in which butte kind of shot themselves in the foot a little bit moving themselves out of a chip shot field goal they were in the red zone and now you're trying to 46-yard field goal opportunity and he misses it i don't blame it on him but man they had some things going on there where they shot themselves on the foot but fresno city also had some great run defense and there's life on that fresno city sideline i do notice that andrew weed still in the game at center for the rams rams come out here scrimmaging from their own 29 432 left to play do they have a little magic left in them three receivers right a single receiver left that's drew moore it's green green gonna get the carry trying to beat guys to the perimeter a little stutter step nice move getting up field approaching the 35 and he gets six on the play junior another nice gain man that stutter step you just described i thought he was i thought he was trapped scott honestly he made a little stair step on the contained spin and got around him with his speed and those big legs of his approaching four minutes to go 28-24 butte here in the fourth quarter at radcliffe stadium holiday in shotgun got green to his left he's going to give it to green fred trying to get around right tackle give him another three on the play it's gonna be third and one from the 38. that one was all fred i mean he almost looked like butch williams right there i mean you just lean forward and use those 500 pound squatting legs to get three yards there was nothing there got a good finish here at radcliffe stadium 2824 butte 333 left third and one for the rams trying to take the lead here on this drive if they can play action to green a slant is there going to be a flag there is there was a lot of contact now another flag comes in looked like the db out there had his arms around the waist of drew moore what do you think about the call there i'm thinking i don't wow i'm one i'm not sure of the call first of all and third and one with a slant route off a play action secondarily i thought that was actually really good defense by debut defensive back i didn't see drew morgan really spun much on that but um as a fresno city college ram you take that you know i think that was tiselle lewis out there the man who made the interception on the coverage yeah it was kind of a bang bang play i mean we're we're far enough away where it'd be hard to tell but it looked like there were some arms involved but they give the inter interference call to the ram so it's a first down from near midfield tubs in the backfield play action hall they're looking for back shoulder another flag down are they gonna get them for interference again wow they're giving they're the defense is not that bad unless you know it's on the far side of the field for you and i but i mean he's right with him and um you know i i don't know i could see if lewis fabute was getting a little frustrated but it seems that he's got a good body position well they called him again for a flag so the rams have gotten a couple penalties here they're in to butte territory now 317 left first and 10 from the 40. they're going to give it to tubs tubs have some room left side racing towards the sideline now trying to cut back goes down to the turf his feet slipped a little bit but that's a first down and the rams are moving green they don't want all the bells is that a southern usa thing right there i like running backs who are tough like that get those extra couple yards the rams are set here getting everybody set clock is running just over three minutes left holiday pump fakes now looking long nobody out there now some open grass to his right he's inside the 25 the 20. and out of bounds at about the game justin holiday good run there first and ten 253 to go the rams have a first down at the butte 12 yard line trailing 28-24 holiday was looking to his left they were trying to get a double move i think to connerly on that play but he was and the guy actually stayed on top i think they know a little something about tim connelly and his speed 240 and counting left to go the rams first and ten from the butte college 12 trailing 28-24 tubs looking for room coming left side at the five into the end zone touchdown rounds jacob turns from 12 yards out and the rims have retaken the lead [Applause] so now a big extra point coming from nathan coons trying to put the rams up three we saw nathan miss one earlier also made a good field goal though good snap good hold the kick is no good nathan pulls it to the left big missed extra point there so the score is going to remain 30 to 28 fresno city 226 we got a good one for you come back with us you're listening to ram football on 90 kind of valley remnants and rolls has one of the single largest in stocks elections beautiful new carpet hardwood vinyl and land florida and central california but that isn't the most impressive fact i'd like to share with you guys valley thank you sir appreciate it all right we got a good one here tonight mike fresno city and puke college when these two get together there's some special games you played in a triple overtime thriller against butte college back in 2000 the rams just took the lead 30 to 28 with 226 left to go on the clock but they missed the extra point so what could have been a three-point lead now only two so a field goal could beat you now all right it should do a nice little crazy kick here again like he's doing right now coon's gonna pooch kick it it's fielded at about the 20 by one of the up men for butte and he's tackled pretty immediately by kaden ochoa again so butte's going to take over from their own 27. now there is enough time on the clock here where they still could stick to that running game i think especially with two timeouts where they have two timeouts left two timeouts left they got weapons in the backfield let's see if he's still got that drop in his fresno city has adjusted their defense and brought in a lot of fresh legs and a lot of big bodies on the defensive line which i think could wear on williams a little bit um we'll see fresno city is kind of playing like like we saw last week a little bit of a i don't know if it's a cover two or cover four they're doing a lot of rolling and so it's hard to tell but they're gonna play action to williams on first down harper looking long and it's into and out of the hands of his number 83 zach woodall the six five 210 pound freshman out of ohio boy an opportunity there for a big play and the rams will take it they're that wheel definitely again and i'm watching the the rams drop and i don't know what fresno city calls it but it was more like a cover four where you cover quarters of the field numbers numbers and he found a little opening because the db opposing us came inside ram defense out here feeling some juice now from this crowd the bench is alive as well second and ten for the 27 harper over the middle and good defense by cameron broke up breaks it up no flag down very good defense by the buchanan grab wow honestly great defense and they know what's really cool homecoming is getting into it it's pretty exciting for us to be back in football with something like this they're loud here radcliffe stadium is alive folks it is alive fresno city looking to go 4-1 here on the season trying to earn a comeback victory over butte 30 to 28 the rams lead it just over two minutes to play third and ten for the roadrunners from their own 27 they come out with three receivers two to the right one to the left williams in the backfield harper gonna throw looking left he's got a receiver out there and it's complete but a flag is down in the area of holding usually it would have been a first down for buu connor mckenzie on the completion they're discussing it this could go anywhere nope it's not a hands to the face on defense but it is in the area of a hold as you indicated they're talking it out the rams playing a little soft there on third and 10. in that secondary i thought the same thing at the start of the play there scott i think there might be hands to the face and they're marking it off against fresno city so it looks like the first down is gonna stand butte is at the fresno city 45 and suddenly williams johnny williams is very much in play here in the final couple minutes i completely agree with you they did rewind the clock though when they reset the chains we're uh a minute and 43 seconds left first and ten from the 45 under two to go williams around right side makes a nice move to avoid the tackle of hayden peterson and gets inside the 40 to the 39. williams is an impressive back that jump cut to avoid hayden peterson was i mean he was running to the sideline essentially breaking laterally and right around outside in between the hashes and the numbers he jumped back inside and made him whiff got a few more yards [Music] at the 39 second and four williams again working his way into the rams secondary he's inside the 30 to the 25 and matthew sanchez comes up holding his shoulder he's gonna have to check out this game i don't know if zach hollis is not saying anything okay they're gonna rewind the clock 105 left to go if you're wondering the rams have two timeouts left butte has two at least according to the scoreboard under a minute now to play view down by two a field goal could win it here harper in shotgun gonna give it to williams williams right up the gut and the rams stack him up pretty good there he gets down to the 23 42 seconds left to go and with 39 on the clock now the whistle blows not sure which side called the timeout butte has called the timeout so according to the scoreboard the road runners have one timeout left the officials want the clock to be reset to 44 so there's going to be 44 on the clock now all right so if you're fresno city here and you're head coach tony cavillia you have two timeouts left yourself i would use the timeouts to try to save myself a little time after each one of these plays i think that i agree with you to an extent i think that i would it depends on what they do on this next play they're sitting at let's see the 24th the fresno city 17 yards the end zone [Music] i would probably do what you said but at this point you get a stop right here i think i might let it run if you're wondering that the kickers forbude oh [Music] are we on the air we're back okay sometimes i don't know uh 30 to 28 32 seconds left now as williams goes around the left side for no gain so the clock continues to tick this is what i said scott you just asked me right before that i might have used the time out there if i was coach kavilah i'm not sure i would yeah third and eight from the 23. oh snap is picked up by harper and he's just gonna duck his head down and get down to about the 20. six five four o'clock ticking so butte's gonna call a timeout here with four seconds left on the clock a field goal would win it gabe they estabrook two kickers that are listed on our roster astro freshman 165 pounder out of pleasant valley he's three for four with field goals this year a long of 35 perfect on his extra points the other kicker on their roster dante jackson number 36 he's a freshman as well also from pleasant valley high school both from pleasant valley high school he's two for four this year on his field goals with a long of 51. he hasn't attempted any extra points i have a feeling it's probably going to be esther brook coming out here for this final kick four seconds they've reset the clock to now they want to reset to three what a game this has turned out to be butte college and fresno city college 30 to 28 runners this is a great game scott three seconds left and how big is that extra point right about now it's huge and you said it at the time of it i know nate is is you know fighting his lip right now just hoping he's biting his cheek just thinking gosh i hope these guys stop him or i hope he shakes it like i did but um it's actually going to be number 36 dante jackson out to attempt the field goal three seconds left 30 to 28 grams lead and tony cavill is going to uh he's going to ice the kicker i guess he saved the timeout so he could ice him this is gonna be a 37-yard field goal the ball was at the 20. were you ever in on kick block at all i was not i i was uh the wing on on the kicking team so on the field goal team so i was you know in a tight end position kind of with my hand on the back of the tackle next to me trying to prevent that guy from coming around the edge blocking field goals that's what i did i've never uh i'm not fast enough scott to be your guy on the other side well let's see maybe those can get somebody off the edge uh to block this kick number 10 hunter poppleson also the holder he's one of the backup quarterbacks for butte he's practicing taking snaps right now he is the holder on kicks for butte dante jackson the freshman out of pleasant valley high school going to come on to attempt a 37-yard field goal which would give butte the win 30 to 28. three seconds left in this football game and we have another timeout as the tension builds we all take a deep breath oh double certain marcos the devil ice and i noticed that the kicker jackson for butte immediately runs over to the net on the front side of the field which is a good 60 yards from where the ball is spotted on the field right now and he's going and getting some practice kicks in on the net again dante jackson freshman out of pleasant valley high school two for four this year has a long of 51. he hasn't attempted any and he's going to have a chance to give butte the win few trying to move to three and two on the season fresno city looking to get to 4-1 in this final non-conference game for both teams it's been a heck of a football game out here at ratcliffe it's coming down to one final play three seconds on the clock out there the ball is going to be spotted at the 27 it will be a 37-yard kick here we go snap is good so is the hold the kick is up and it's oh my god the rhythms are going crazy because they survived jackson pushes it right [Applause] it was hard to tell from up here but he pushed it to the right they reached the field they're going crazy here at raccoon stadium what a game 30 to 28 fresno city hangs on for a thrilling win overview we mentioned at the beginning of this broadcast that whenever these two get together you have a chance for a great football game and that's what we saw here tonight the rams survive they get a big touchdown late from jacob tubbs to give him the lead with a couple minutes remaining and they survive a field goal at the buzzer to beat butte college 30 to 28. thank you everyone here from the that coach coming up on the post game show sure it'll be a happy

final play and fresno city hangs on for a 30 to 28 win over butte college with the win the rams move to 4-1 on the season the roadrunners fall to two and three scott bemis alongside former ram tight end mike brady and we're just kind of catching our breath here up in the booth as this one was good we talked about it it was a really interesting game it was a contrad styles butte was pounding the rock uh running the football consistently we saw johnny williams would love to see how many times he he toted the rock i'm guessing around 40 times is probably likely i'm thinking you were pretty close with that earlier i i'm thinking it might be pushing 50 now it could it could be either way i mean he was terrific showed a lot of heart just kept pounding and pounding and pounding on the rams defense the rams meantime found a way to come back for the second straight week now last week they weren't able to finish off the comeback against san mateo this week they were able to get it done again they fell behind 14 nothing but showed some resilience in getting back in this football game i agree and um i mean to be completely honest i could have gone anywhere either way at the end based on your call at the end there with the field goal and you know he pushed it a little right um they almost they almost gave it up again and i know coach cavill is going to say that to them in the locker room right now but he's also going to follow that up with you know you give the negative and you followed up with a positive and you're going to say you know what but you stayed resilient just like williams did for butte and you pulled off that win you know yeah the rams get it done again they fell behind 14 nothing early in this game for the second straight week uh they do that in fact and uh they slowly uh chipped away um got back into the game and and cut it uh you know to a manageable deficit at halftime 2117 and then in the third quarter got a big play from justin holiday to tabari rollins a 61-yard touchdown with 545 left to go in the third that gave him a 24-21 lead at that point then they eventually took the lead after butte had retaken the lead in between that um with just 226 left on a jacob tubbs 12 yard touchdown run culminating a nice drive that saw fred greene uh come together with a couple good runs they got a couple pass interference calls on the drive justin holiday used his feet again very nicely on the drive to pick up a first down and jacob tubbs put it in and that gave the rams a two-point lead they missed the extra point which looked like it was going to come back to haunt fresno city but at the buzzer butte college misses a 37-yard field goal dante jackson just pushes a little to the right and fresno city hangs on for a 30 to 28 win can't wait to hear uh from head coach tony cavill and hear what he has to say about this one what stood out to you most about what fresno city's offense put out there tonight before i answer that i do want to comment on the jacob tubbs victory run to be honest that was a run that was designed to go to the right and it was one of those those cutback words that was so impressive to me as you recall in the play he saw the same hole i saw while he's got the football in his hand running to the right cut back found it and got it it was it was an amazing run um you know hopefully people were watching youtube live and got to see that because that kids both those kids green and tubs are and they're like they're i think they're best friends out here in fresno it it it's it's pretty cool to watch and it's pretty cool to watch support each other but to answer your questions well you almost answered it by the way with that answer i think it is what the most impressive thing was i think it was that i i was also just really impressed with fresno city's resilience i was also really impressed with okay we talked about it early they shot themselves in the foot a lot but in the second half in the fourth quarter i mean we don't take these stats you and i scott but they they settled down and and they look like the more like in in in the game plan they look like they had it more together at the end than butte did to me in several different aspects in the fourth quarter from here now the rams will have a bye week they will get their loan by week get to regroup recover get those bodies healthy

through one on the season with a 30-28 win over butte college they survived a field goal at the buzzer a 37-yarder that was wide right they get the win they're the ones who are excited heartbreak for butte but the rams are going to be celebrating tonight and it's a pleasure to be welcoming in right now the head coach of the rams tony cavilla and coach we talked about it uh the other day but any time that butte fresno city get together you can see a special football game and this turned out to be another one of those memorable ones yeah it really was scott um you know even robbie coach schnelly you said coach comes up says every time we play it's about three points or two points and uh sure enough tonight was one of those games what's going through your mind there uh at the end i know you you froze the kicker a couple times i was wondering if you might use your timeouts there on defense coach can you hear me coach can you hear me you got me yeah i got you now okay i got you okay i i was i was going to ask you that that that final possession there for butte uh you know butte has um you know a first and ten i think it was around the 25 there's about 45 seconds left on the clock they used a timeout you had a couple timeouts left i was wondering if you might use those timeouts actually on defense to maybe try to save a little time can you take me through the strategy you ended up using them to ice the kicker kind of what was going through your mind during that final series before the field goal the biggest issue is you know we were gonna we were gonna save the timeouts because uh we felt like uh you know we could get a stop and when we got when they got to the uh hampshire police penalty and they got it past midfield then when we're if they if they threw the ball we were gonna probably you know be okay if they ran the ball depends on how many yards they got if they got a little bit closer field goal range we would probably have had to do some programs but now we're thinking about it you know you know it's hard for those kickers after two two timeouts and put the thing through and i thought the kid hit it pretty good he just missed it a little bit late for the second straight week coach you know you guys fall behind 14 nothing early last week you were able to come back but you weren't able to finish off the deal this week you were able to finish it off what does that say about your football team you know we learned a lesson you know we grew a little bit i think um you know uh we have a lot of pride over here brazil city college and and um you know if if we didn't have you know some strong character kids and and some substance and pride in in on this team you know we don't come back and win this game um and uh you know you guys guys did a nice job we asked the defense to give us a couple stops they were kind of getting worn out a little bit had struggled a little bit against uh some of the things that he was doing but we needed a couple stops in the second half and uh and we got him and uh and sure enough i mean uh it's good to be on this side of it that's for sure hey coach uh scott bemis and i were talking about your strategy and that he just asked you about on the field goal and um i indicated the same strategy as you so i obviously played for and coached with you um because i i i indicated the exact same thing as you and i think that was the right decision obviously it it turned out that way but another thing i noticed was on your last offensive possession number one for butte to zel lewis he had two pass interference penalties and um really seemed to gain some momentum on your sideline did you feel that from your offensive quarter coordinator coach hollis and his guys and that you know they were going to go down and lead to tubs touchdown and his guys and that you know they were going to go down and lead to tubs touchdown yeah you know you know yeah you can't you can't grab you can't grab a guy when the ball's in the air i mean that's that's right you have officials who call those things and uh um you know they were they were timely on our part and they're you know tough stuff for them um but uh you know if they didn't if they if they didn't hold them then we probably would have caught the ball been down there anyway so um you know sometimes you know they had we had some tough penalties on us too that uh you know kind of turned turn tilted the field in their direction so you know it just it just it even died at the end and uh you know for us to be able to just go down there and then do more making a great catch there on the sideline and then uh i mean to be able to get the ball in the end zone there you know might have left a little bit too much time on the clock but uh you know we're trying to score as quick as we could yeah and i agree with you and that you at that point you're just trying to regain the lead your defense actually seemed to have been doing a great job and containing them in the fourth quarter aside from the the pass play with a combined penalty of illegal hands to the face at that point they're probably in a position where you know there's some heart rate going at that time and um but they seem to come through again at that same time that you talked about the closing field goal i agreed with your strategy we had a discussion about it up here in the booth and um i'd imagine that you're really proud of your defense at the end of the game right yeah there know they didn't they didn't give up they didn't quit they didn't play real good you know we're gonna get that corrected but uh um you know again there's a lot of pride and there's a lot of strong character kids on the on this team and in this program and there's some coaches that are working their butts off to to get get these kids to play the game the way it's supposed to be played and uh you know i mean uh it's it's just it's pretty fun when you're on this on the winning side that's for sure coach if i had told you before the year with your schedule you'd be 4-1 at this point hanging in the conference play what would you have told me well good question scott i mean i tell you it's uh we're looking at we're looking at our offense he had uh ryan hunt and adam salazar the only two guys that actually played in the game in 2019 everybody else on the offensive freshman i was probably just hoping to be able to take the center snap and function somewhat um these last three teams that we played they're just the the elite in northern california and we played toyota with them um like to have some of the things back in the san mateo game but uh you know to play this big team every every year we play them it's a dog fight to the very end it's a three-point game it's a last play of the game type deal and uh you know to come out rolling into conference 4-1 i think uh i think we got their attention i think we're going to be able to make some corrections but we're going to grow from this yeah final question here uh heading into conference play you get a bye week first off which i'm sure uh is going to be much needed for you guys a little rest and relaxation at least for i don't know a couple hours right as a head coach but heading into conference play uh what will be your focus and uh how will things change now as we get you know into the heart of the conference season yeah you know it's uh we need a break you know it's really been a tough summer tough fall camp these first uh five games have been no joke um i'm gonna i'm gonna clean my garage you know i don't know what day but i'm gonna get my garage cleaned michael come over and help you in all honesty yeah he doesn't have that much time um no i think i think we got to get back to fundamentals we got to get back to fundamentals a little bit we got to go back to some of the things that we do in pre-season cap to you know to you know just clean up clean up our technique and um you know we obviously we're gonna look at some different things on defense and on offense and you know we gotta we gotta get gotta get a lot better the kicking game um you know we missed two point after touchdowns um which could have could have came really could have hurt us big time um so we're gonna clean up a lot of things and and um before we play again and uh better during the bye week after win and after the loss and you know we're looking forward to it all right coach we'll enjoy this one uh go home watch the fresno state game enjoy enjoy your saturday night and we will reconvene with you in two weeks in visalia against cos thanks coach thank you coach okay thank you appreciate you guys you got it that's uh head coach tony cavilla the fresno city rams win this one 30 to 28. before we go wanted to take care of a couple things first off i wanted to give a big congratulations to andrew from kerman the winner of the name that ram contest and did you have a guess on who it was did you figure it out i i did the the russian yards killed yeah i threw everybody off it threw me off for a second there i thought it might be nick mitchell who i talked about and i thought it might be related to this game i don't have the answer scott the answer actually is cameron warrell cameron remember the clues of this former ram from a small city in madara county ciao oh miss ram ran for 1300 yards as a senior in high school i didn't even know that about uh canada then uh he was a part of a ram team that went 10-0 in the regular season you of course were part of that team as well uh back in 2000 right 2000 team um and then finally had seven career interceptions at fresno state kam went on to fresno state where he had a great career and then and played in super bowl 41 where he also played against another fresno city ram in that game matt giordano who was on the other side matt rodano of course are ram to remember tonight so just synchronicity here with ram football but congratulations to andrew from kerman appreciate you uh you know playing the game and uh enjoy your dinner for two at manhattan i have to say scott i'm glad that cameron's on the sideline in hawaii right now or my phone will be blowing up i i don't feel bad for him he's on the sideline in hawaii well in fact yeah did the game start they did i was gonna say two hours before kickoff i'm sure cam would be on an outrigger there in waikiki uh more than likely or you know hiking a with paul leffler at this point but uh um so i wanted to congratulations to andrew from kermit enjoyed that dinner for two to the uh manhattan steakhouse and bar in west fresno i also wanted to present the be misses best play of the game let's roll it third and 11. holiday can he make a play steps up in the pocket looking deep he's got rollins terrific throw he's at the 30. the 20. he's going to score 10-5 it was a beauty let me tell you there was a couple plays in this game actually three that could have probably uh been nominated for that award we had that touchdown we had the tubs touchdown place to get in the lead and then we had the missed field goal obviously at the end and the celebration that ensued for the fresno city rams uh before we sign off mike some final thoughts here on the non-conference portion of the schedule and as we get ready uh for the conference slate i mean the conference slate is always good and we all the thing with that scott is that these all these teams are you know teams that play each other every year and they know each other they know coach kabila he's been here a long time they know his playing style there are some unique traits to this fresno city college team that outside of the coaching philosophy that they bring to the table that need to be accounted for we talked about it earlier i mean tim connerly and and the way that he brings a dynamic aspect to it and like it just the whole actually i'm gonna just go ahead and credit the entire receiving crew but they all have different things like drew moore i mean he's a tall lengthy wide receiver you can throw it to the sideline on it made a great catch at the end of the game to set up the tub touchdown you've got connor lee you've got you know a running back duo that is just impressive and they're friends and they're meshing and they feed off each other they give each other five as they're running out they're not trying to beat each other um and you know practice they probably are it's engaging in competition which is making both of them better i think that the defense is still solid but um when they play these other teams these other teams know fresno city college and coach kaveli's coaching staff's philosophy that'll be the hard part for them but i think we talked about it earlier and i'm not sure if whether or not our audience heard it running through that gauntlet that coach cavilla just said right now set them up for all of this so you're going to be in a position where we've gone through some adversity and now we're in conference and now it's important conference champs like you indicated a couple weeks ago they get into the show absolutely and and conference it's not like conference is going to be easy after this gauntlet by any means a cos in a couple weeks when the rams visit uh visalia to take on cos college of sequoias for a 1 p.m afternoon start remember this cos team also went to the wire with this same butte college team um on september 4th in the season open for both teams so cos obviously can play a little bit the rams will then host sacramento city so the next home game will be october 23rd versus sac sac city at 1 pm the start times will now shift for the uh the two remaining home games to to 1pm uh on october 30th um they'll be at modesto and that that is setting up to be a heck of a game that's a 6 p.m start in modesto modesto as we mentioned beat mute last week and they're up to number eight uh in the coaches poll uh in the in the ranking so modesto and fresno city that's gonna be a heck of a football game in late october after that they will host wet west hills here at radcliffe on november 6th and then on november 13th they will close things out of course uh with the rivalry game at really 3 p.m really also ranked uh in the top 20. they're number 20 in the coaches number 16 according to the sid so that's what's ahead of fresno city uh what what happened here tonight was a special win a special memory uh for a group of fresno city and players and fans that were in attendance and i'll tell you i'll remember this game for a while yeah i totally agree with you i love the way they rush the field after the miss field rule it just show i mean they went to go hug their guys even though it wasn't like a blocked field goal but it was just a love of the guys in the field that you know at least rushed to kicker and tried you know and maybe maybe costum caused him to push the ball a little bit um looking at what you talked about with the schedule right now this conference is pretty stacked um i watched film last night of the butte modesto game i don't like to look ahead but man there's some talent on that team too you just said number eight um their quarterback is dynamic but like i said i don't like to look look ahead if coach cavill hears this he'll be mad at me but yeah they have some opponents that this isn't over and but i do like running yourself through the gauntlet a little bit i do like his philosophy with that it's kind of a pat hill philosophy tony cavilla philoso philosophy a fresno philosophy and give yourself some you know adversity so that later in the year you can handle it yeah this team certainly is going to be battle tested as they enter conference play all right fresno city gets it done tonight 30 to 28 over butte we enjoyed bringing it to you for mike brady my partner for nicholas who's uh doing the video for us on youtube and just a reminder that you can catch
