Had the opportunity to capture another great matchup during the 10U tournament at the University of Indianapolis football field. This game featured the Cincinnati Raiders taking on the St. Louis Pacs, and it was one of the best games of the day. Both teams battled from start to finish, showing great effort, discipline, and heart. The game came down to overtime, where the Cincinnati Raiders capitalized on a big play. What looked like it was designed to be a dive play turned into an outside run, and the running back bounced it to the edge, found an opening, and outran the defense for the game-winning touchdown. The St. Louis Pacs were in the middle of making substitutions, and the defense wasn’t quite set before the snap. The Raiders recognized the opportunity and took full advantage, making one explosive play that decided an outstanding football game. This was youth football at its best—great coaching, balanced football, hard-hitting action, and players giving everything they had until the final whistle. The parents stayed engaged throughout the game, creating an exciting atmosphere from beginning to end. After the game, it was clear this rivalry isn’t over. The coaches had a few words with each other, and one thing was certain—these two teams expect to see each other again. Congratulations to both the Cincinnati Raiders and the St. Louis Pacs on an outstanding performance. Thank you for allowing Faderz Up Productions to capture another memorable game. 🎥 Video by Faderz Up Productions📍 University of Indianapolis – 10U Tournament #FaderzUpProductions #10UFootball #YouthFootball #UniversityOfIndianapolis #CincinnatiRaiders #StLouisPacs #FootballHighlights #Gridiron #FootballFamily #GameDay #YouthSports #Indianapolis #KentuckyFootball #FridayNightLights #FootballLife

The first game I covered at the University of Indianapolis 10U Football Tournament featured the Louisville Titans taking on Ape Squad. From the opening whistle, Ape Squad played fast, physical, and disciplined football. They controlled the line of scrimmage, moved the ball consistently, and made big plays on both sides of the ball. Coming out of halftime, they wasted no time putting together another scoring drive that shifted the momentum even further in their favor. The Louisville Titans showed flashes of potential with a few nice passing plays and never stopped competing, but it just wasn’t their day. There were missed assignments, penalties, and a few costly mistakes that made it difficult to slow down an Ape Squad team that came ready to play. One of the biggest plays of the game came when Ape Squad’s defense stepped in front of a pass and returned it for a pick-six, adding to an already impressive performance. This was only one game, and every season has its ups and downs. The Louisville Titans have talent, and sometimes a tough loss can be the best teacher. I’m sure they’ll regroup, learn from this one, and come back stronger in the next game. Congratulations to Ape Squad on an outstanding performance, and respect to the Louisville Titans for continuing to compete until the final whistle. 🎥 Video by Faderz Up Productions📍 University of Indianapolis – 10U Football Tournament #FaderzUpProductions #LouisvilleTitans #ApeSquad #10UFootball #YouthFootball #UniversityOfIndianapolis #FootballHighlights #Gridiron #YouthSports #Indianapolis #KentuckyFootball

Car Flips Over in Serious Crash at 23rd & Oak Street | Louisville, KY | April 10, 2024 This footage was recorded on April 10, 2024, at the intersection of 23rd Street and Oak Street in Louisville, Kentucky, after a serious crash left a vehicle flipped onto its side. Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) and emergency crews responded quickly to the scene. This intersection has become a dangerous location, and it’s clear that something needs to change. A four-way stop or a traffic signal should be considered before someone loses their life. Too many drivers travel through this area without slowing down, creating a serious safety hazard for everyone. This video is shared to document what happened and to raise awareness about the need for better traffic control at this intersection. Hopefully, city officials will take a closer look before another major accident occurs. Location: 23rd Street & Oak StreetDate Recorded: April 10, 2024City: Louisville, Kentucky Please drive safely, stay alert, and always watch for cross traffic. One second of distraction can change lives forever. #Louisville #LouisvilleKY #LMPD #CarCrash #TrafficAccident #23rdStreet #OakStreet #Kentucky #RoadSafety #Dashcam #News #FaderzUpProductions #toilewis

Belgian Malinois vs. Groundhog / Working Dogs in Action Today’s video shows a Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd displaying strong natural instincts.

Talk at Night | Faith, Forgiveness & the Meaning of Easter | WLLV 101.9 FM On this episode of Talk at Night on WLLV 101.9 FM Gospel Radio, I had the honor of hosting the show while Bishop V. Lyons was traveling back to Louisville from Cincinnati on the church transportation bus. Even while on the road, Bishop listened to the broadcast and trusted me to lead what was one of my first times hosting the program. Joining me in the studio were Antonio Brown (AB) and Will Smith, with Harry J serving as the producer and DJ. This show was filled with faith, encouragement, and real conversations that still apply today. Topics included: ● The importance of keeping your faith through life’s toughest storms. ● Mother Quisenberry’s powerful testimony about overcoming life’s challenges while continuing to trust God. ● My personal journey of how faith helped me become the man I am today. ● Why people often continue to judge others by their past instead of accepting the positive changes they’ve made. ● Learning to listen to God, trust your spirit, and obey when you’re led to do something. ● A discussion about Wanda Mclntrye Prayer Breakfast at King Solomon Baptist Church. ● What Easter means personally to each of us and the true significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

A Man Ain’t a Man If He Can’t Use His Hands 🛠️🪵 July 10, 2026 First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with so many talents and skills that have helped me survive and provide throughout my life. Every gift I have is because of Him, and I’m truly grateful. I also want to thank my Aunt and Uncle, Pastor S. Todd and R. Todd, for giving me the opportunity to restore their hardwood floors. I truly enjoyed putting in the work, sharpening my craft, and bringing those floors back to life. Every project is another chance to learn, grow, and perfect what I do. I also want to give a special thanks to my little cousin, Darius, for helping me record parts of this video. While we were filming, I wasn’t just making a video—I was giving him the game. I was teaching him the process of stripping and restoring hardwood floors so that if he ever gets the opportunity, he’ll already have a skill he can use to earn honest money and put some money in his pocket. That’s how knowledge is passed down. We have to teach the next generation trades and skills they can use for the rest of their lives. One thing I’ve learned in this lifetime is that you need more than one hustle. I’m not ashamed to get my hands dirty, and I’m never afraid to think outside the box. A person who depends on only one way to make a living can find themselves struggling when life changes. I believe in using every talent God has given me. I also want to dedicate this video to my stepfather, Bruce. When I was about 10 or 11 years old—and even during my teenage years after getting suspended from school, he took me to work on his properties. He taught me how to read a tape measure, hang drywall, install flooring, and properly use a variety of tools. He always told me, “When you get older, you’re going to need these skills.” He believed a man should know how to work with his hands, and because he took the time to teach me, I’ve been able to survive, provide for myself, and earn a living with my hands throughout my life. I’ll always be grateful for those lessons. I also want to thank my sister, Keisha, for reminding me recently that I’m not a regular man. After I shared a comment that an ex-girlfriend made about me, she told me I should have said, “I’m not regular.” She also told me, “One day she’ll wake up and realize why you’re not a regular man.” Those words stayed with me because they reminded me to never let someone else’s opinion determine my worth. Always know your value and keep moving forward. I hope this video teaches someone something about restoring hardwood floors and reminds people that learning a trade can change your life. One more thing, I made a mistake during this project. The customer didn’t like the ebony stain, so we went back over it with a Gunstock stain, and it blended into a beautiful brown finish. I had been told by ChatGPT and YouTube that it wouldn’t work, but in this particular project, it did. Every project is different, and real-world experience sometimes produces results you wouldn’t expect. The lesson is to always test first and keep learning. Another lesson I learned from this project is to always communicate with your customer. We may have our own opinions as professionals, but it’s the customer’s home, their investment, and their vision. Ask questions, listen carefully, and make sure you understand exactly what they want before making decisions. In the end, a happy customer is more important than proving your opinion was right. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me, my businesses, and my journey. Every project teaches me something new, and I’ll continue learning, growing, and passing my knowledge on to others. “A man ain’t a man if he can’t use his hands.” — Toi A.
