04:45.916 --> 04:48.797 [SPEAKER_03]: I think you're sitting there promoting no loyalty. 04:49.297 --> 04:56.338 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, and there's one thing that, you know, all of us that turn and push with our kids is, you know, they're not playing for themselves. 04:56.358 --> 04:58.119 [SPEAKER_03]: They're playing for Katie High School. 04:58.139 --> 05:03.360 [SPEAKER_03]: And now, you know, when you start a portal and plays like that, well, they're not playing for a university. 05:03.380 --> 05:05.300 [SPEAKER_03]: They're playing for the all-mighty dollar. 05:05.580 --> 05:07.281 [SPEAKER_03]: And so, and it's changed. 05:07.341 --> 05:10.842 [SPEAKER_03]: And kids are seeing that, you know, we have kids being recruited now 05:12.743 --> 05:18.950 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, I owe money and stuff and you know, and is it enough or how much is enough and how much is too much and how much is the kid worth? 05:19.851 --> 05:20.893 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, that's the bad thing. 05:20.933 --> 05:27.240 [SPEAKER_03]: If it gets in a high school football then how do you sit there and say that this kid's more important than the other kid that you have in your program? 05:27.421 --> 05:31.045 [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, they're not, you know, they may be better football player but it's not more important. 05:31.668 --> 05:42.572 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, in our program, every kid is important there and it's important that every kid's coach and every kid has the opportunity to sit and do well and things, you know, it's change high school football. 05:43.031 --> 06:04.695 [SPEAKER_03]: big time right so how when a recruiter comes and wants to talk to one of your boys and one and what if one of your parents say hey coach how do we go about this like how do we go venture through this well most of them they know I've had it have been and I've they're getting agents and stuff and things and now oh so now the high school kids get an agents and stuff and a parent or yes and it's gotten to be to that point and 06:05.275 --> 06:06.456 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, that's not a good thing. 06:06.516 --> 06:17.742 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a good thing for kids, you know, because now the aid is for taking money from their RIO stuff and they're taking, you know, when they sign these contracts with them, then they'll take money for their college stuff and things and stuff. 06:17.822 --> 06:26.947 [SPEAKER_03]: And our contracts are getting, you know, it's a sit there and help a kid is one thing to sit there and start taking a money for a kid that doesn't know me, but there's another. 06:27.827 --> 06:28.267 [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely. 06:28.287 --> 06:30.569 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even realize they were hiring agents. 06:30.729 --> 06:30.969 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. 06:31.935 --> 06:34.276 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, she's fun. 06:34.296 --> 06:36.536 [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about that and that blew your mind? 06:36.836 --> 06:40.818 [SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't good enough to ever have those types of problems. 06:40.918 --> 06:42.318 [SPEAKER_02]: I never had any that. 06:42.418 --> 06:43.638 [SPEAKER_02]: I would have never had to worry about that. 06:43.958 --> 06:44.239 [SPEAKER_02]: So. 06:45.219 --> 06:45.359 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 06:45.419 --> 06:49.040 [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, but yes, it's that part of this Chinese high school football. 06:49.880 --> 07:10.602 [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, the NIO is struggling, I mean, the NIO is struggling right now to, you know, keep the kids under check because they're not supposed to be being paid to pay high school football or anything else to the stuff, so it's a difficult situation and they get frustrated and the coaches get frustrated, you know, buy it and stuff, but you know, until they find a way to stop at this school and continue being that way. 07:12.945 --> 07:31.969 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to ask you because a lot of people, just from me, you know, interviewing people from Katie High School, a lot of people have commented from other districts, what's the biggest misconception people have about Katie High School, especially Katie Football program. 07:33.247 --> 07:57.949 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I think that people don't understand that they're more not the most talented team most of the time on the field, you know, our kids put in an exorbitant amount of time to sit there and be as good as they are, they work at it and they have great work at the same great work habits and they're not afraid to get dirty, you know, right now because of the wet ball, our kids get up and their practice started five in a morning. 07:58.497 --> 08:02.460 [SPEAKER_03]: So you have to make a sacrifice to sit there and practice at five in the morning and stuff and things. 08:02.980 --> 08:15.849 [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, there are high school kids and a lot of them don't even eat breakfast and stuff, which is not really good for them and stuff, but they are able to get to 90% of our kids, get to practice on time by five in the morning because they want to be a part of it. 08:16.170 --> 08:22.894 [SPEAKER_03]: And I think the biggest misconception is we have all the best athletes, great athlete. 08:22.934 --> 08:26.117 [SPEAKER_03]: We have some great football players, we have some great high school football players that 08:26.737 --> 08:39.487 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, that's always in quite the quake to be

in a good college football player, but, you know, the thing that works, you know, we tell them we want them to be the best high school football player they can be played for Katie High School and we're about the next level when they get there. 08:40.548 --> 08:41.629 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, that's great. 08:42.169 --> 08:42.429 [SPEAKER_01]: What? 08:43.770 --> 08:51.677 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you know this, Fania, but I'm pretty sure you're aware that Katie ISD just did open enrollment for high schools. 08:52.767 --> 09:02.790 [SPEAKER_01]: So if you are from out of the district and you're wanting to come into any of these high schools, you can come not necessarily saying that you're going to get in. 09:04.410 --> 09:08.771 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about that because I think when five was doing some research, didn't nor sure do that. 09:09.211 --> 09:12.812 [SPEAKER_03]: They still do it and I think, but you know, for KDIs, for KDIs, it's 09:15.897 --> 09:22.779 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, he found out in the rest of this story, you know, they're letting 100 kids go for high school and things. 09:23.179 --> 09:29.341 [SPEAKER_03]: And they have to be cleared by the, the year register at your school before you can even talk to them. 09:29.381 --> 09:31.221 [SPEAKER_03]: We've been instructed not to even say anything. 09:31.241 --> 09:32.822 [SPEAKER_03]: You're talking to a kid if they call about it. 09:32.882 --> 09:36.663 [SPEAKER_03]: That's not up to us until they actually have talked to the professional register and stuff. 09:37.442 --> 09:50.091 [SPEAKER_03]: and these kids coming in like that and like this they have to they can't play bark of athletes for a year and no matter what they have to sit out in your they have to sit out here so basically you know if you're not going to be able to come to see a year and think you're going to play anything 09:50.727 --> 10:17.832 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, but that's the way the rules used to be everywhere and, you know, back when we were coaching our, you know, and our the 80s and stuff, those were the rules that if you removed or transferred, you had to sit there and couldn't play varsity, you play sub varsity football with our classmates, but you couldn't play varsity football for a year, and then they change that rule and, you know, and it's gone to, you know, different, you know, things and they get for a fix, but right now that's the moving rule as far as KDIC's 10:20.990 --> 10:24.338 [SPEAKER_01]: Can we take a break and talk about how Andrew Vaughan is a great basketball player? 10:25.762 --> 10:28.549 [SPEAKER_03]: We're not, we're not, that will be a long conversation. 10:29.990 --> 10:33.893 [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't come on this share to be harassed as I'm sinking in the world. 10:33.973 --> 10:35.735 [SPEAKER_01]: Why aren't you a great basketball player? 10:35.855 --> 10:36.636 [SPEAKER_02]: Terrible basketball player. 10:36.956 --> 10:37.816 [SPEAKER_02]: I have no business. 10:37.857 --> 10:39.778 [SPEAKER_02]: I played one year basketball and it was terrible. 10:41.139 --> 10:41.580 [SPEAKER_02]: Terrible. 10:42.040 --> 10:42.881 [SPEAKER_02]: I think for everybody. 10:43.461 --> 10:44.702 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what is it? 10:45.122 --> 10:45.683 [SPEAKER_01]: Is he right? 10:45.743 --> 10:46.564 [SPEAKER_01]: He's right. 10:46.664 --> 10:47.244 [SPEAKER_03]: He's right. 10:47.725 --> 10:49.226 [SPEAKER_03]: We had a goal on the house and stuff. 10:49.266 --> 10:50.627 [SPEAKER_03]: And he's come over and play over there. 10:51.247 --> 10:55.351 [SPEAKER_03]: And my house would beat up terribly bad by him and his shooting ability and stuff. 10:55.371 --> 10:56.432 [SPEAKER_03]: So that's okay. 10:56.872 --> 11:00.613 [SPEAKER_02]: You know that I will tell you, I was, I guarantee I was the most aggressive kid in the better. 11:00.913 --> 11:01.693 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god. 11:01.873 --> 11:03.334 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't, I don't think like that. 11:03.354 --> 11:04.874 [SPEAKER_02]: You used to be the big joke. 11:05.074 --> 11:07.815 [SPEAKER_02]: It was like, I don't think I ever made it through a game without like foul enough. 11:07.935 --> 11:09.675 [SPEAKER_02]: Like that was my kind of claim to fame. 11:10.195 --> 11:14.236 [SPEAKER_01]: Can you tell me one story about this guy like, was a funny story? 11:15.077 --> 11:16.017 [SPEAKER_01]: Did you ever get in trouble? 11:18.217 --> 11:24.141 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we used to play flag, flag football in their backyard, not flag, hand touch. 11:24.182 --> 11:28.525 [SPEAKER_02]: We'd really play tackle, but every once in a while we could talk, go Joseph and his brother into playing with us. 11:28.825 --> 11:29.766 [SPEAKER_02]: They'd be our quarterbacks. 11:30.206 --> 11:30.906 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 11:30.986 --> 11:33.148 [SPEAKER_02]: I was a spastic, spastic kid, like. 11:33.927 --> 12:01.112 [SPEAKER_02]: He can tell you everything I did was like a thousand miles an hour like I was all over the place super hyper He played with us one time and we're not one time, but he's a place several times and the ball rolled out of bounds And he went to get it and he was leaning over by their swing set and I ran over and like just Not thinking like kind of pushed him because we're playing flag football well There was a bolt hanging out of his swing set and it caught him right above his eye. 12:01.312 --> 12:01.972 [SPEAKER_01]: Wait, you're I 12:03.182 --> 12:23.762 [SPEAKER_02]: and he had to get stitches and I'll never forget like so think about this like I was terrified of this man like this guy like I said when I was a kid Gary doesn't feel like 15 feet tall in like like he said he was like 15 feet like we he was and he was he was always super cool but like he's the one who got me to swallow my first pill because I was scared to not learn how to swallow 12:24.443 --> 12:28.346 [SPEAKER_02]: But anyways, so I pushed him into the swing set this bolt caught him right above the eye.

12:28.786 --> 12:33.149 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll never forget, like, imagine being like, I was probably Gabe's, I just really thinner 11. 12:33.530 --> 12:38.233 [SPEAKER_02]: I was standing in their driveway as his brother was driving him to the emergency yard. 12:38.974 --> 12:39.914 [SPEAKER_02]: And I just remember, 12:40.755 --> 12:50.462 [SPEAKER_02]: Coach Joseph turning and looking at me from the car at our eyes locking and I was like, I made dead Man like I literally like went home and I was like, what did he say to you nothing?
