7 Friday Night Podcast | Ep. 4: Hazy Shade Of Football

Clayton Valley Coach Nick Tisa Visits To Discuss His Team’s Smoke-Related Saga Of Last Week; Plus San Ramon Valley Lineman Jackson Brown Jumps On Too •

After the second week of regular season football in Northern California featured several game cancellations due to wildfire smoke, 7 Friday Night hosts Chace Bryson and Ben Enos talk about the wild cancellation/rescheduling frenzy.

As part of the conversation, they welcome Clayton Valley-Concord co-coach Nick Tisa to discuss his team’s manic four-day stretch that involved multiple bus trips to Turlock. The Ugly Eagles were finally able to play their game on Monday night, so the hosts asked him about that as well as being on AQI watch again for the Friday’s game scheduled at Del Oro-Loomis. 

The jam-packed episode also features its first student-athlete guest as San Ramon Valley-Danville offensive lineman Jackson Brown joins the show to discuss is recent commitment to Cal. Chace and Ben also pick his brain about having the Wolves’ opener smoked out and what they expect from their Top 20-showdown with visiting Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland on Friday. They might have asked him about his name resemblance to a certain musician as well. 

Finally, recurring guest Coach Terry Eidson returned to have a laugh and chat about the wacky national story of Bishop Sycamore — the Ohio-based “school” that managed to lie its way into a nationally-televised game against IMG Academy of Florida last weekend. Coach Eidson also offers his first game picks of the season, and the co-hosts follow with their usual run of predictions.
