7 Friday Night Podcast | Ep. 5: Holy Rollin’

Jesuit Coach Marlon Blanton Joins The Show For Holy Bowl Rivalry Week In Sacramento; Plus 9/11 Reflections And A Talk With The Newest NCS Record-Setter •

The first big rivalry game of the season — the Holy Bowl between Jesuit-Carmichael and Christian Brothers-Sacramento — gets center stage in this episode. 7 Friday Night hosts Chace Bryson and Ben Enos invite Jesuit coach Marlon Blanton onto the show to talk about the rivalry and share thoughts about his team’s Week 3 win over Granite Bay.

With the Northern California edition of the Honor Bowl also taking place this week, the guys discuss the 20th anniversary of 9/11. They reflect with both Coach Blanton and recurring guest, Coach Terry Eidson, on an important role high school football played in communities across the country in the immediate days following the tragedy.

The show also welcomes newest North Coast Section-record setter, Casa Grande-Petaluma senior QB Jacob Porteous. Chace and Ben ask him about his 647-yard passing performance against Maria Carrillo-Santa Rosa and about life as the new big man on campus.

Finally, there’s talk of fantasy football drafts, Chace’s lack of dedication, and plenty of game predictions. Coach Eidson is watching film to make his picks now. Find out what player he calls a “rumbling ball of butcher knives.”

Week 4 of NorCal high school football has arrived, and 7 Friday Night is here for it.
