South River, buckle up — this one’s loaded. We’re back at the Green Turtle and diving head-first into a brand-new winter sports season, a historic football run toward the Elite 8, and a jam-packed slate of special guests that basically turned Hawk Talk into the Avengers of Seahawk Nation.

Athletic Director David Klingel gives us the full winter rundown: indoor track’s 105-strong army, cheer’s redemption tour, a surging swim squad, unified bowling joy, a wrestling room ready to rumble, and hoops season heating up for both the girls’ defending champs and the boys waiting for their football warriors to return.

Then things go full-on electric as we relive the wildest football win in school history — a comeback, a roller-coaster student section, a legendary kick, and enough adrenaline to power the stadium lights for a week. We’re joined by student broadcaster Quinn Houst (future ESPN problem), Acting Principal John Yore (cannonballing into the job), Coach DeSantos, Coach Lucas, and a crew of players who live for moments like this.

Plus: flag football dominance at the middle school, Chick-fil-A-powered roller coaster practice, and everything you need to know before Friday night’s WHITEOUT showdown vs. Oakdale.

Seahawk Nation, this episode is the definition of “all in.”
Go Seahawks.

Hawk Talk goes live as Tom, Grey, and Jaden open the phone lines and dive into South River’s dominant 69–0 playoff win. Offensive Coordinator Coach Kevin Clark joins to preview a huge showdown with St. Charles, talk signing day, and explain why “1-0” is the only record that matters.

Head Coach Erk Erxleben calls in to break down the matchup, the defensive mindset, and what makes this team different. The crew hits winter tryouts, Northwestern–Michigan at Wrigley, the incoming sea of rally towels, and a brief but heated LeBron vs. Jordan scuffle. And Karen Simpson joins us to talk Rally Towels!

Plus: Jaden’s chase for a state record, student-section Santa vibes, and why Friday’s 6pm home playoff game needs every Seahawk in the stands.
