 So we're here with this matchup. We mentioned the last game was for an outright championship so Kel with a win tonight would pull a Piece of the championship away from Santa Cruz and for both these teams It does not get any bigger than this. No, it doesn't you've gone after each other twice so far this year. They've split So Kel winning the one of the dad's club tournament was the one that mattered as far as league Santa Cruz got it so they know Everybody very well you kind of see coming into this one the Knights got took down Scots Valley and Aptos, which is a huge win For so Kel the Cardinals defeated SLV. They've had a little bit easier time The last two games have the Cardinals against SLV in St. Francis both very very easy wins At least the last couple of games have been so Stu Walters in his nights They've had to work a little bit harder, especially against the very tough Aptos Mariners who finished last night with a win against Scots Valley. They finished their season now 10 and 2 I know we got this one before we got the results. So Santa Cruz 10 and 1 Aptos 10 and 2 so Kel 9 and 2 So you can see what this means as far as first place is concerned in the SEC AL So who's gonna be number one when we get to the tournament? Sandy buddy's guess. Yeah, it could be a three-way tie for first through the victory by so Kel tonight. We see the prep rankings from the Santa Cruz Sentinel our friends at www.SantaCruiseCentral.com and a pick out of a hat between Santa Cruz so Kel and Aptos Who's the best team in the area? You know, it's a really tough one and Watsonville has a very good ballclub to down there in the southern part of the County that all the way around good basketball is played here in Santa Cruz County Yeah, we'll see two of the best teams and one of the best coaches for Stu Walters and his coaches keys and this is very true He's gonna have to control the temple of this game because Santa Cruz does want to come out and run keep us see From the free throw line and limit the high percentage shots and what that means Santa Cruz loves to go into transition So Stu and the boys can slow this pace down They've got a chance to repeat on a victory and there is coach Walters long-time coach here is dad coach baseball It's so Cal for many many years go to the other side friend with Bill Domhoff who's just in his third year But he's been around Santa Cruz for a while. Ah, he's born and bred here. His dad teaches up at the UC transition defense you know in other words get that rebound and Get down the floor in the same way if Senators so Cal gets it. They've got a hustle back down rebound Well, they've got to own the paint basically is what Domhoff wants him to do and be patient on offense They've got a lot of good shooters. They spread the ball around look for that good percent of shot You don't have to hustle it. There's Bill Domhoff down there again three years here teaches here at the school Multisport athlete, you know tremendous baseball player good hitters owns me I'll tell you, you know Ask him how many hits have you got off of me and just say all of them All right, so it should be a good one both these teams playing for the one seat of the SCAL championship So Cal and Santa Cruz coming up next this part two of our doubleheader here on the CTV game of the week Welcome back game two of our doubleheader the Santa Cruz boys and the so Cal night boys It's gonna be a good one with Kurt Edwards I'm Tim Swartz and for both these teams It's gonna be a real tough battle as they are not only fighting for this rivalry game for the final regular season game of the Year, but a championship on the line. It is you saw what we put up the results. It could be a P-way Championship so there it goes how you're gonna figure out who's what when everybody's basically beating everyone once So the starting line-ups are being announced here and first of all for stew Walters and his so Cal boys We look at their team and Sam Walters a very good forward who's on that starting five Sam Walters has been Fantastic a cop also gets here the big center He's gonna be the one that I'm gonna be looking for try and clog up that middle But all five of those guys are gonna have to be flying down the floor And on the other side for the Santa Cruz Cardinals Bill Domhoff is in his third season With Santa Cruz and we'll see they're starting five and it seems like no matter the sport We do Jamie St. John is a star. Yeah, he's always a star. He's fantastic. He loves it to Mayo Also number 45 all five of those guys Jonah Hodges we watched on the football field You know that he could fly up and down the floor, but they're fast They're athletic they attack they love to play transition basketball and they will work very very hard Now Jonah Hodges is headed for Cal Next year so whether he's gonna be a walk He'll be there as a freshman whether he's gonna redshirt or not time will tell But he's gonna give it a shot at for big blue on that football squad next year Yeah, and Jonah Hodges a guy who proves that just get good grades You're a good athlete. You'll find a place even in a major place like, California. You see the starting lineup for the Santa Cruz Cardinals announced Now they just announced 45 to Mayo he averages nine points a game number 32 Chris Martin averages 11 hands at nine So essentially Tim they spread the floor. They spread the ball out. They're not a selfish group Talking with Dom hoff his main thing is, you know, if the right Santa Cruz team shows up We're gonna have a good game. We have a chance of winning it Hacked house here at Santa Cruz couldn't ask for anything more proud Santa Cruz Cardinals program Looking for an outright SCAL championship if so kill you see in your screen if they can pick out a victory today They'll get a third of a champion. They'll be tri champions Then we break the coin out Who's gonna get the buy for the first one on the SCAL champ and playoff? Tom Smith Levin doughy is LeVon doughy LeVon Dowey. Mr. Smith's gonna toss the ball up on the far side Mr. Dowey right in front of the scorer's booth. Here we go And tip is controlled by Santa Cruz We know they love to run and gun all the way down This one up in good is Jamie St. John Dave you're not hesitating. They're gonna go with the two two one full-court breast You've got to be moving the ball down the floor quick passes Okay, I got away with that one. Sheer picked up the loose change We're in the point will be Tucker widget a five eight guard into the lane Sam Walters left wing jumper too strong Agra Running and gunning the Cardinals backdoor cut underneath laid up in good by tied to male You can see they get down an offensive position very very quickly one thing to Santa Cruz if anybody's ever watched hockey Santa Cruz is the basketball equivalent line change after line change You'll see a different five guys out there very quickly. Look at that defense In the backcourt for a moment and so Cal with widget coming down the floor leaves up here It's fouled by tomato and they'll get it in That was one of the things that said sheer just stays down there on that offensive end So they can get the ball break and he's gonna come up and he'll be one of those people to get the ball to Stu Walters calling the other four guys back here say it look it Get back here ready to play defense because I guarantee you they'll show up in an awful big hurry It is a running and gunning Free throws no good, but it is a team with Santa Cruz that has one speed fast Walker Hanson walks it up the floor and into the motion offense Cross-court pass stolen away by so kill Walters will cross half court Sam likes to put the ball up. He's a good shooter, but he's also a good court awareness And we got a reach a grab in a hole underneath. I think that's gonna go with the St. John widget with the ball Really really tough Santa Cruz playing man to man. It looks like they're over playing everything. It's playing really aggressive. They will they'll put bodies on it They're not afraid to push and show lost that ball Three front-iron no good. Hotch has lost the rebound though quickly five on four for so Cal Acrop number 25 doing a good job at night through getting that rebound the offensive end So Cal's got to figure out a way to somehow get their fair share of those rebounds Look ask and then break away. I got it Sheer Was there and they saw a break but unfortunately acrop pass the ball just as she was moving away Two minutes into the game for to lead for Santa Cruz here at home Hodges Explodes to the rim can't get it to go to mail and share five court it ends up with share with so Cal Who just loses the ball? Possession arrow so Cal pointing to so Cal Okay, here's one of things you get that ball and you get it down there where people are gonna get You've got to be able to rip that ball free. You can't start throwing elbows Reset to 35 shot cock as I take the ball back out of bounds Sam Walters who do that Tom Smith right up above us one of the referees Here comes Sam notice that quick little rotation on the double tee They'll let you bring the ball in and then they want to trap you Walters thought about the step back three Rotates up top shot passes telegraph Who's deflected by the Cardinals Walters down for sheer to Mayo right in his grill straight away three on the way a crop No good Hodges and to Mayo fight for the rebounding amongst themselves Hanson up top alley you play good for Clayton Conroy That's what Santa Cruz does They get the people down there before you get your defense set You can see defensively so Cal was too far away from the basket. They didn't realize he was behind them Rhythm three right side widgets. No good and they're running a gun at Conroy Great outlet pass all the way to the right. See John and one Here's the one thing you look to see that say John the numbers were in favor of the so Cal Knights But what say John's he doesn't care? He's gonna go right to the basket. They didn't come out to stop him He kept his momentum going defense was still moving this big strong young man plays aggressive basketball Domhoff teaches aggressive basketball. It just fits the personality very very well eight to two lead For Santa Cruz make it nine to two. St. John nails the free thrust See nice soft two to one defensive zone. They look to trap you. Good job by so Cal to break the press Out of the press they match up in man-to-man Eight drop off the left wing sheer catching it 35 feet straight away where Santa Cruz let them have it Conroy doing a nice job of just fighting through screens Cannot find the handle on that suitcase He's called for the foul that's a second personal it is Y'all get him out of there because they've got a lot of replacement parts Bill Domhoff sitting down there on the end of the bench Asking, I'm sure how many fouls is that on Demeo gets his answer Santa Cruz defensively You can see that playoff, but they really do a nice job of reading their opponent So if you have any if you telegraph that pass they're reaching their stepping right into where it's going to be Thatcher Sammits Forward who's a 6-1 juniors into the game away three Backfire Hodges in transition Nice job by widget nice rotation offensively those Sammit collects the rebound in his first action St. John back and past Sam it lays it in showtime Here in Santa Cruz 11 to 2 Cardinals Without the basketball John Wood said it Dean Smith has said it even now the modern coaches Move without it. You'll get it See so kill looks a little bit rushed offensively as well. This defense will do that Because they are quick They're switching. They're in your face. They like to push They're very very aggressive, so They're upbeat tempo whether it's on the offensive side of the board of the defense inside Sometimes causes the other team to get out of their comfort zone Now how do you combat that as a coach if you so go? But you've got to figure out a way most Start running into your own offensive flow putting it in the basket is one thing But you've got to start setting some picks and being tighter on those picks So you're pressing people off you can't wait for the defense to get set Abraham picked up that foul. It's his first personal Hodges had to foul On the play before with 315 remaining in the first quarter already five team fouls against Santa Cruz Walker three left-wing no good rebound Abraham But he just throws it away with it on the other side goes right in to Walker Hanson and Hanson will pick up of his first personal six team foul Time down before where St. Jean's when St. John's excuse me went right at it Wiggett does the same thing he sees the defender Hanson movements who he continues his path to the basket He's just gonna crash right into him. There's no he's gonna get a blocking call First free throws good for widget Finally says coach Walters. We got off the two. We got another cricket number up there in three Seconds knuckleball no good Three throws are gonna be big for so Cal Rest of this half is the 250 remaining in the first quarter. They're gonna have free throws every time they're found They give the three and it's way long, but on the weak side Hanson's putback is no good up the St. John miss Rebound is out of bounds off of the Cardinals Defensively that time Hanson was on one side Sam it was on the other they were just gonna deny any baseline passing lane to So Cal Knights had had the rebound Walters dribbles through two players Swings the left corner to the hoop. No good, but St. John is called for the found I believe that's his second personal to the line Lucas Cordoza There's another way with what coach Walters and I think it's so Cal is trying to do and that's start to attack the paint Start driving You know clear out some lanes take advantage of those lanes keep your rotation going But if there's a break go for it you watch widget do it you watch Cordoza do it They're going to go to the charity. They didn't make the layup. They're fouled hard But at least they have an opportunity to get something from the free throw line Cordoza misses the first Side just went right down the lane and that is a clear foul hitting the head before doza with St. John the other thing I think so Cal is going to try and do is The passes there some get they've got to get in some kind of shooting rhythm so that ball goes up quickly He misses two and that's not good Yeah, just one for four at the line for so Keldon a trail by eight Out of that passes too long Abraham was going to take it away The other side Hodges on the floor is fouled as he drove into the lane Abraham does a nice job of just a little bit of a moving screen, which he could have been called for And as soon as Tobin reached in and touched it Abraham was so quick He got it out of his way and Hodges picks it up And you can see the speed burner that we saw on the football field number 20 Alley you put temp as opposed to tossed up in the middle and as he falls down Chris Martin Another one of these cogs for this machine puts it in all the way on the other side reverse laying a nice play by Tobin Good job, and you said reverse layup to use the rim to protect his shot Very very wise eight-point Cardinals lead a hundred seconds remaining first quarter Conroy at the free throw line Widget for so Cal Slow it down worth the offense and your shot, but if you catch it you better get ready to shoot There's your shot Widget off balance air ball rebound out legs Hodges So Martin up the left wing back to Hodges when they get into that offense they set it up watch how quickly Santa Cruz swings the ball around 21 seconds on the shot clock Hodges setting up the play Hodges the Martin on the back cut back up top left-wing Hodges three looking good 11-point lead to the Cardinals Lay it up no good balls chipped out by so Cal they've got a two-on-one three-on-one Once left off Tobin lost that ball That's where those you're coming down on a full court Tobin goes in ball gets blocked down the low Wasn't anything up high and that's a lot of good times You can just reach in if you're one of the smaller man's blocked shot down in the area as you can do it out Abraham left side pulls up left elbow jumper rolls and Conroy nice shot He's got for this one second the off-balance three for so kills Valar car cell and We're at the end of one quarter of play Santa Cruz wants to push the ball they have they force turnovers. They've done almost everything right They lead 18 of five at the end of one quarter our boys varsity basketball game of the week here on CTV sports with her Edwards on Tim Swartz Yeah, it's if your captain Santa Cruz they've come out running and gunning they have and they've spread the ball around a lot Sam it with two Conroy with four Hodges. We just saw him drop in a tray Martin with two st. John's you guess he saw them early with five points. So they spread it out Sam Walters who's the number one scorer for so kelp zero on the board So here is our trivia question basketball good at start 19 in the 1890s with Kurt Edwards as a point guard, but the NBA did not start Until nineteen forty-nine with team one the inaugural nineteen forty-nine fifty NBA season I'll give everybody a couple of clues one the team is still in existence Okay, I play it in the city, but the city has a basketball team We'll see some championships. They could see both these teams We mentioned earlier. We could see both those girls teams from these two schools They both these boy teams of these two schools could be playing a week in a day from today at the SCCL championship to also have been wrestling championships Hodges Is as slow as Santa Cruz will go offensively and as I say that they move into my gear third doesn't say third or fourth gear I don't think yeah, you're right. This is my the old weave the old Indiana weave Push I'm surprised there wasn't a basket interference called to Sam it grabbed the Next but it'll be two free throws for Chris Martin Chris Martin and Santa Cruz is taking advantage of their athleticism and their ability to get up in the air They're also doing a fine job because of their constant movement They're looking to get in a good position to get that offensive rebound Martin will make his first free throw attempts Kind of a line drive type of a shot Santa Cruz continues to go with the two to one type of a press Look how the scoring's been for Santa Cruz to five from St. John three from Hodges four from Conrad four from Martin It's been really everybody's scoring hasn't been anybody That's why they like to do it. They're not They're a very unselfish Hodges doing a great job on Rain Valica sir Valica roll Sell excuse me To a 13-point lead for the car Switch action and it carries it So Cal tries to break this passive two to one a hip check against Conroy his first personal eighth team foul one-on-one bonus for the junior Cody Valacar sell He gets a chance to get it go through and notice again So Cal Therefore our guys are back there Just waiting for Santa Cruz to show up on the offensive side. They're just gonna concede if there's a miss here Cody doesn't miss though 15-point lead For Santa Cruz here tell me what's so Cal got to do to change what's going on. Well, if somehow or another guys Do a better job of switching but that's a little hard to do And what Santa Cruz is also doing is out for sale makes both of these free throws They've either got to start doing get the ball inside the kick it back outside Santa Cruz is being a very difficult to pass Abraham loses this ball. Walters goes down to the floor. He lost it. St. John had it for a moment Abraham flies into the scores table And the ball will go to show Cal Kind of gives you the idea the intensity that Santa Cruz is playing at as well as so Cal He will fly in right by us take out the corner of the scores table Sam Walters This is an intense players as dad is or was Dad's an intense coach Widget Bounces it to sheer right block No good Sheer rolling for the rebound but Hanson ends up with it goes to goes Hanson. No look pass. Sam. It misses the open land New Walters flying off the seat going for the foul over the back Dowey the official here on this side is gonna give it to her the felman is packed across from it It is standing room only behind us. It is wall-to-wall people with the Santa Cruz band And this is this is the ticket folks. You don't have a ticket At least you'd be able to watch it out here on TV. Exactly Big free throws for so Cal because they've been kind of panicked in this game to get open free throws and get easy points It'd be good, but that's not good missing the front end of the one and one still 14 point lead for Santa Cruz six minutes Showing on the first half clock Hodges goes all the way to the hoop and he was found I Tell you one thing that Hodges did really well on that one is He's coming around the left side. He's got the ball in this left-hand dribbling watch his right for I mean just was able to hook the defender with you just enough to get around him That ball, you know, you could have had a foul called against Hodges For hooking but that's not the way it goes. It's a blocking foul But I think the so Cal player was in good stationary position Hodges makes the first of two It's that step and of course Tim you've watched a lot of basketball you played a lot of basketball if you get that step and then throw that arm bar out there Hodges second free throw is no good See how quick Santa Cruz is Sam it even in there getting a tip doesn't get the rebound That causes so Cal to have to fight for a little harder. Walters Collects it over Abraham. It just tips off the rim Abraham seals the glass Sam it also down there on the contestant side Abraham doing a nice job of controlling a basketball Hodges give it off for Sam. It's a little bit too low for him and ends up last off of so Cal Now we've been watching A little not quite a quarter and a half and you can see the The medic pace and Santa Cruz has And they always have somebody in the middle whether they're parked there or they're cutting on through weave right through Sam it has seven which leads all scores All four guys for Santa Cruz was moving Not all five guys for so Cal were moving Widget takes the lane lost the ball on his hip for a moment Nice drop stab sheer who tipped the rebound and ends up with salmon of Santa Cruz Santa Cruz three on two and a carry Levy Richards with the carry Just get that ball a little bit And that's one of the things that you're going down. You have that little hesitation and you get that turn that palm up My day they called it bombing Martin got the steal Hodges thought about the three dishes right side Levy Richards three got it What are you gonna do do you extend out or do you stay back if you extend out Santa Cruz is so quick. They'll run something underneath If you stay back, they'll kill you with threes or they'll get a better high percentage Stu Walters right there very frustrated and I wouldn't blame him. He's down 20 points with 431 to go still in the second quarter At 29 and nine the Santa Cruz Cardinals are Come off and see if we can get an open three if not spread it out attack and we got to get to the foul line Hang in there let's go. Yeah, it's a great point by coach Walters. 29 and nine's the score. Santa Cruz is really all over Soquel Here's another just turn over You can see how quick that defense goes They're not afraid to double team. It's soft until you pull up the dribble Then they'll immediately there'll be two white shirts signed. Yes. He camps out 22 feet. Thank you And the one thing I think you notice is too, as you saw the Soquel defense Almost kind of running is a is a pass towards the ball. They weren't organized couldn't get into their man-to-man No, they really couldn't the switching that The the picks that Santa Cruz sets are very very good But Stu Walters is saying attack and we're getting our box Continue to attack and that's one thing. Soquel runs it off and steps down inside Hodges long pass to sammix The Eli Richards open again for three takes it long But a nice rebound from Martin who had it taken away from him which is fouled by Hodges. He just jumped over And it gives you an idea of the athleticism of the young Jonah Hodges Down they come Little hesitation up it over he goes Foul on the floor Maybe they're gonna call that on a continuation Two free throws any way you look at it because that was a tenth team foul against Santa Cruz Hodges picked up a second Sheer will miss both Now we get an opportunity Mr. Smith found a violation on the lane by Santa Cruz so Sheer gets to shoot another one same result just three for nine at the line for Soquel Hodges weaves to the lane floats it up Jonah Hodges, we know we can play football. We know we can play basketball You're seeing tonight. Why we know we can play basketball Nice job by Abraham. Of course everybody's on the side That's the way three that guy are no good Hodges with the rebound one on three He brings it up to Levi Richards up top for Hodges 22 point lead for Santa Cruz they didn't expect this Sheer way out top with salmon Santa Cruz, Soquel really trying to force the defense whistle underneath Yeah, Sheer ends up in the ground but he blocked the Santa Cruz Cardinal who is trying to get to the hoop Sixth team foul against Soquel is big Kobe underwood comes in a six seven junior Heights just keeps on coming Abraham Rotated up the left wing for Levi Richards Tries to break down this Soquel man to man Abraham between the rings 31 nine with 245 remaining second quarter Right side salmon three rock. I don't know good Abraham picks up the loose change tried to go up and he was fouled by Sheer Now that shot was off and he saw Abraham. He never slowed down. He was consistently moving The shot was up. He continued on his rotation and went right after the board Ended up getting the rebound underwood was underneath there also didn't get it doesn't matter If you can attack the paint and attack the backboard He's got a good opportunity to get a rebound Abraham misses the first of two Steve Walters bringing a couple of people in Tobin number 44 one of the new knights on the floor And the second free throw was good Oh, it's just lost off the foot of widget that I mean that's an unforced air But it's forced because this team this gets in your face so often. You got to move so quickly. Exactly. You're you're so right They didn't get in front of Hodges and he's able to blow right by Walters Sam Did got lucky that time Layup no good second effort for Tobin He was fouled on the floor Nice job by valkar cell. He comes in uses his body very well Puts it up left hand. It doesn't get in but you can see the knights are in there Tobin eventually gets fouled so he's going to go to the free throw line and do something that We really haven't seen much of for the knights and that's make a free throw three for nine at the line Three for ten This gives a coach nightmares Or a very bad hairline I'm sitting next to a coach and I can see the effects Tobin will make the second 22 point lead For the Cardinals. You see this for a moment coach waltz. I mean, what do you think's going through his mind? How can I snap the momentum and get it back in favor of the knights? Sam at one hand and fling past the Hodges lead by Richard three left side way too long Underwood ends up with the rebound and he'll scoop it in Toby Underwood and the boys loves it Favorite here in Santa Cruz Now Toby's also a water polo player, but he's going to take that six seven frame and wing stand Try and make it on the basketball floor Walters drives in The left wing wide open three is no good Hodges ends up with the rebound doesn't have number. He's still going to push it Sammit lays it off the glass. No good charging calls Good job by Wiggett. He's held his ground Tim, I think one of the hardest things to do for a young player is to stand there watch number five He sets up. He knows he's going to get hit. That's a pretty good acting job too. The academy awards are already given, but Either way next year next year. There's always next year Another substitution Messiah williams and one thing you don't want to do is pull that dribble up and let these two guys get on top of you Sam Walters gets it across the timeline 110 First half 34 10 The lead for santa cruz Wiggett pulls up high floners. No good The ball is lost underneath tobin pump fake and he was fouled By the player just checked in williams is the 11th different cardinal to play I'm telling you it's a line change. It's hockey. They'll play them out. I think I got Everybody will probably get in this game if they haven't all gotten this game already. I think only two haven't checked in so far for Coach donhoff's cardinals And they're not they're not afraid to foul and you know what I mean I do think uh Kurt that They're not afraid to foul because they have so many players that can play there's you know the guys getting in foul trouble But It doesn't really matter, you know because if they have players off the bench you could just fill in a spot But when you're too deep in every position And you have the athleticism that they have Go ahead Go aggressively if you make the foul We have somebody to come in for you He underwood doesn't see too much playing time, but he's in there right now Dangerous pass to levi richards and he will have a nice little floater in the lane He's I levi richards is not exactly one of one of the biggest scores for this team But as you see he gets them all goes down to the hoop. He has some serious game He's got game. He's got hustle There's one thing You don't have you know, you you want to be good hustle. You don't have to be great to hustle and here's levi richards again He's igniting this loft this gym as hodges called for a travel 38 12 20 seconds left shot clock's dead The question in the traveling call but johnna was holding on to the ball. He was taking that extra step It's nice passing by the Knights Legit Tobin is fouled Well, here's one thing about underwood at six foot seven. He really doesn't have to jump if he gets underneath Especially defensively. He just puts that Roof top over the top of you and you're gonna have to jump up into it See all the different Banners here at santa cruz high school and the biggest one they have a division three state championship back in 2005 with Pete newell jr. Who is in the house tonight? Little dom off.

So it's It's a blessing for me to be able to be around to watch them coach for sure Yeah, I've got to say this is an alumni day for you Not only the guys on the floor, but i'm seeing a lot of your old players up in the stands, right and and actually Thatcher samet was our ballboy the last year that I coached his brother cliff was one of our star players. So You know, he was like in Fourth or fifth grade and now he's a junior and grown and and plays very well He's doing really well. This has got to bring back some nice memories For you I know you and bill warmer dam used to square off quite a bit bill By the way, never did turn to heat up in the gym Well, you can say it, but I felt it and uh, actually one year I did I did catch him doing it But oh, yeah, I know a wonderful man and a really good coach one thing I learned from bill was to keep the players as loose and relaxed as possible and and uh That was something that that I learned that that is a coach is too intense in the 70s And by the eight when the 80s came around Actually started with when billy d was a sophomore I realized I had to pull back my intensity because the kids were playing hard and then I used coach warmer dam as a model on that He was a good coach and it was fun watching both of your squads square off in the 80s Well, it was fun He'd come out it before the game and he draw a chalk line at center court You'd say I couldn't go on his side of the of the court during the game Sometimes they did that when I was younger, you know what I thought it was This is where his team would shoot from too. Exactly. Well, his famous line was you can see the basket shoot. That's exactly right Hey, look at this game Watching watching santa cruz play. How do you think about their offense that they're running? They're very unselfish santa cruz and they play hard their defense keys their offense and Tonight was just an example that they were They were much, uh, much more intense than uh, what we saw before So we'll toss it over to one of uh, p. Newell jr's old players bill domhoff who's standing by with ruster head coach santa cruz gardenals. Holy cow. What's the potion? What'd you give these guys before the game? I'm not sure but I hope uh, I do it again but I think the boys just came out fired up tonight they were uh Excited to play at home in this big game and for this big crowd and uh, they're just doing the best they can right now We hope we can keep it up. Was it because of the last couple games? I mean did that have a factor or would that have happened regardless? Yeah, I think so. I think uh, they want to come out here tonight prove something Uh, they want to show that they can play with anybody in our league and do a good job of it And uh, they're doing a really good job so far Can they match that intensity after sitting down for eight minutes? That's a big question russie That's what i'm hoping and we're all hoping and uh, you know, I know so kehl's gonna come out fired up They're a great team and uh, they've proven so all year and uh It should be a great second half. All right. All right. Thank you. Good. Thanks for stopping by. All right, bill domoff santa cruz cardinal coach. Let's go back to tim and kurt Thanks so much russie and we want to also thank uh, pino juniors sat with us great to talk to him and uh, Kurt I think uh, you guys can have your own probably 10 hour show going off some of those 80s battles you were talking about and all the games that he's he's seen here He's a great coach and a tremendous teacher even after he retired He continued to mentor many of his coaches and go to the practices and help him out You know, you see pete here. He's retired bill dodge a great basketball coach for santa cruz Sitting over in the far corner ron walters dad of stew walters great baseball coach at sokel and administrator sokel high Down on the other corner jeff dunn Noted author who still hasn't signed my sarah palin book, but I won't mention that on the air And you see it was uh pappets from the first game talking with p. Newell jr current player for the santa cruz girls as we're back into action And a foul is cold It's gonna go against hodges Well one thing i'm certain and stew had mentioned that he doesn't know quite what to do make free throws would be You know number one on the list But also start to attack Send people to the basket Game two of our doubleheader is the first free throw with good break drop Game one went to the sokel girls in a battle of ten and one scc al team. They defeated santa cruz 57 46 behind our player of the game rey jean graves 27 Okay, coming out and a press And you can see the tenacity look at the bullishness. We're gonna get a blocking call As walker hansen just dropped the oboe and just kept driving right on in Right called by the official on the far side tom smith, but this is what sokel plays aggressive loose unselfish basketball Hodges collects up top hansen Through the lane to mayo For st john Back out to mayo between the rings They'll reset the offense the deepest hit got into a shot clock 15 remaining Through the lane wild was hansen and a locking foul Eight crabs go at me I got a block Apparently he wasn't quite set on that one. That's his second foul Second team foul as well So walker hansen goes to the line gets an opportunity to make his first point on the on the evening Hanson with two free throw Makes the first Now hansen comes into the game averaging nine points a game Makes his first one. So it gives you an idea the balance to which santa cruz is able to put points on the board Press is broken You've got to be a little bit more in control If you're going to make that shot that running leap and lean to work sometimes, but it's not a great percentage shot Hodges up top rotates it st john left wing dishes back hodges open rhythm three too strong St. John rebound it was blocks cleanly The big center down low shearer and it'll be a jump ball 17 seconds on the shot clock Hanson's going to take the ball out out of bounds Tameo collects it underneath and that one was deflected away St. John was pulled down almost by acro we pulled up his third foul Now scott's going to be in trouble and sue's going to have to get somebody else in there really quick 40 to 16 was 644 permitting in the third quarter Tobin checks in john Tobin checks in for the soquel knights St. John backdoor for to mayo The inbounds fast is no good foul called against hansen Hanson just got a little bit of a reach. Oh, I guess a push That's a that's a silly foul bill domhoff Can't be too upset with it, but One of the things these coaches are always going to have to do is teach for the next game teach for the next tournament See how fast that santa cruz is able to get defensively where they want to go walters three straight away Back iron no good and rising for that rebound Hanson brings it up himself double teams spins in the lane. It's blocked cleanly by shear And a possession arrow was pointed into soquel calling it a Jump ball I think for a second shear Might have thought that he was getting called on the foul Go up amongst the trees and run into the branches. I think shear also thought that he just took the ball away I thought that's exactly what I thought Soquel trailing by 24 Rhythm three left wing widget on the way. No good shear offensive rebound. He puts it up an Nice battle by shear fourth point on the night He's got to be more aggressive inside and demand the ball start moving and pushing people around erin pass and the Collision conroy and shear Fouls against shear Now it's going to be the ball out of bounds right in front of the santa cruz bench St. John's going to take it out And jamie st. John part of a very talented santa cruz football team Backdoor alley you pass and it's thrown up in good by conroy You've noticed a lot of those alleyoops all the way we saw one to demaeo a little bit earlier Santa cruz is not opposed and they teach it. They practice it They've got guys who can get up above the rim. You guys will throw it there walters misses a three And the rebounds picked up by st. John and oh by the way anybody can dribble so kill And coming up and clapping was cordosa technical foul against cordosa and run against hodges Both of them starting to pop off a little bit more than they want to do cordosa probably thought the foul was going to go against him, but he turned to the santa cruz bench the cardinal bench Made a couple motions like yes, i'm number 22 or so killed or whatever And tom smith says now we're not going to have any of that. We're not going to go on a mockery quick technical Yeah, cordosa kept trying to initiate contact with st. John Well, he was trying to stay with and in front of st. John and st. John He was continuing to push him in forearm and in cordosa was pushing back I can't see you know, nothing wrong with either one of those plays You knew a foul was going to be called I actually thought it was an offensive foul and I thought it was a bad call 42 18 santa cruz leads so kell Ball will be taken out at half courts on the bottom of your screen You can see It is standing room only We'll take a look You'll see the contact is initiated right there Yep, I still think it's an offensive foul the push away was by st. John's course It's one man's opinion sitting over here and the guy in the zebra gets paid more than I do Underneath and one For jimmy st. John. I don't think he's the guy to anger on the floor No, he's the last guy that you want to get he's the guy you want to have in the fight But he's not the guy that you want to get angry on the floor And you notice all of santa cruz's players dribble the ball down the floor they can control the ball so it doesn't matter whether it's hodges or st. John or Conroy or demaeo they bring it down the floor Free throw for st. John rims out falls out to the right wing for so kell As kasey snowden is into the game for the first time widget thought about the three levi richards hand check Widget with a nice quick first step Widget trying to make up ground reach around and grabbed it So there's already been seven team fouls against so kell in the first two minutes in 54 seconds, that's a full team foul against santa cruz. Got to keep in mind too the last Little incidents with the technical given to cordosa. That's two team fouls All the way to the hoop and an f-hand floater is good for vala car cell full court pressure from So kell and they'll take it away vala car cell up the court. He comes swings near wing walters open three on the way got it 44 23 So kell's going on a run handsome splits the defenders bouncing it off demaeo open land That's what i'm talking about the pace of santa cruz makes you make the shot big deal We'll take it out of bounds We'll get it down the floor and we don't care who's got the ball. They're dribbling it down Straight away snowden's three in and out That was a big miss because so kell could have cut it to 20 with four minutes remaining in the third So the hoop all the way conroy leaves it off and demaeo lays it in santa cruz continues to be able to push the ball all the way down into the paint Here comes conroy. He's right at the top of the key The defense switches to him as he's getting closer And demaeo moving very well. He's to the left of the basket slides in without the basketball hands up asking for the ball Gets it. It's an easy bucket Substitutions it's Nathan vincent is into the game for the first time Scott acrop and samet re checks into the game for santa cruz He was going to check in but he's going to Supposed to come in for demaeo who's the shooter Or he's not Conroy comes off the floor If high school rules is the same of college if you substitute in for the shooter shooters done for the day Demaeo puts it in Plus why would you exactly Nicely done by so kell They've got to move the ball around with a little bit more Sharpness or crispness if you will Acrop left it off the right wing but vincent had taken space up the left wing and left the right corner open And that's when you know good court awareness and where your people are you have to have your head up when you're dribbling Looking to where everybody is that was just a tough one as vincent was open a move to get a better angle on a shot St. John goes up strong and he was fouled by vincent's The one way that santa cruz plays basketball, which is aggressive hard and fast Also translates over to You know the santa claire county style of basketball. They play big and physical. They play right up around the rim Some teams do have that slower transition game, but santa cruz doesn't care what your transition game is They have one speed all ahead full St. John's at the free throw line Sheer checks out And for the first time dylan a hunters into the game so so kell has played every player on their roster santa cruz has played 13 of 14 on theirs Second free throw good 51 23 santa cruz opens up a 28 point lead, which is their biggest of the game snowden fouled from behind by hansen 15 foul against santa cruz On the other side the carnals are already in the double bonus Now santa cruz wants to continue to go on but they don't want to start playing sloppy defense They want to continue to play with their feet and get away from any of these reaching fouls left wing three ball corner pockets vincent hansen breaks the press High screen from demayo Hansen off the bump swings levi richard another three on the way and he nails it Levi is just having a great afternoon 10 points so far That is the lead for santa cruz This shows you on any given night this cardinal team gets so many different options eight props threes off but an offensive rebound for The knights the second attempt is no good sammit trying to outlet the ball. It's lost and laid in by vincent Nice job by vincent just being tenacious and not reaching keeping his arms up playing with his body and his feet 54 28 Crossing half court hansen Screen from sam and he won't take it hansen all the way to the hoop got it, buddy travel Substitutions martin checks back in in abraham. They were placed to mayo and hansen Well at this point in time intercure who the coaches you're just keeping to try and we're trying to keep your team focused Playing solid basketball Right in front of us. There's the jam. There's your steal levi richards Leaves it off st. John. No look dish to martin who falls down And it's out of bounds to soak out walters back into the game he replaces vala carcel Bill domhoff down at the other end stew walters right in front of us giving a sage advice To his young basketball team is in other words don't pick your dribble up when you're sitting right along the baseline or the side of the court Vincent leaves it off a crop open three just left to the top of the key can't make it Snowden loses that ball. Abraham just ripped it away all the way down the court levi richards Just throws that one straight up And it hit the top of the basket the stanchion had a bit of great What was it horse? Yes, okay Off the ball is it off the stanchion a couple of times and into the back it exactly off the top of the Backboard off the stanchion There's a crop trouble That's one of the things with this two two one zone and they continue to stay with it. They're not going to back off at all You pull up the dribble. They'll be right on you really quick You better have somebody to pass it to and that's where movement comes in Abraham trying to beat a five second call from snowden Abraham is going to be called for five five second call if you're within An arms length usually of the offensive player for five seconds while they're dribbling and whistled very rare Walters will cross half quarters Flung out to the right side a crop he fell down But a fouls called he was pushed down 121 remaining third quarter 54 28 Santa Cruz leads so cal with a victory Santa Cruz would win an outright sccal championship at 11 and 1 And they'd have the one seed for the sccal tournament, which means a buy to the semi finals That's exactly what you want to have if you're Santa Cruz and bill domhoff You get a chance to go and watch the team that you're going to be playing or potentially the team that you're going to be playing Now when you were a coach Kurt would you have preferred to watch the team you're playing or just get the day off? What would you do? Both I get the day off i'd give it a nice get a little workout in with my team a little shoot around Then you go and watch to watch who's going to be playing so you get an idea Who's hot what type of an offensive defense they might be running here comes the freight train st John was tripped from behind no traveling Well the tripping didn't matter incidental contact Watch this down he comes Just loses his balance. I mean that is a big body coming down here Full time out called for by Santa Cruz 54 28 59.2 seconds remaining in the third quarter here In Santa Cruz. We thank you for joining us here for our ctb game of the week and let's test your brain The trivia question who is the first ever NBA champion of 1949 1950 season? Well, it's the Lakers, but it's the Minneapolis Lakers They defeated the Syracuse nationals 42 and the best of seven now. Do you know where Syracuse? went to I'm gonna let you tell me that one Philadelphia Cheerleaders everybody here at the Feldman is having an absolutely great time band behind us Fired up a little bit Not an empty plank in the place across from us And behind us and behind us good crowd all the way around Many a great game in the enthusiasm that has come from games here at at this gym has been unbelievable You see right behind us Three rows deep. Yeah, they're even playing a basketball game back there. They got a pickup game. This place is huge folks They park b-52s in here in the off season As we're back to action 24 second shot clock game clock differential And a foul is called St. John's gets a foul called against him And walters is going to go to the charity strike walters Will have the one and one First free throw is good And the second is also good both these teams will be shooting free throws every foul from here on out abraham crosses half court tried to Thread the needle to st. John abraham had it the ball is still loose And finally so tell ends up with it with the shot clock dead walters left wing for snowden And a double dribble dribble The defense will have said it many times that the cardinals bring out Will cause that kind of turnover because they will put their body on you Conroy wants you to go around them and abraham playing catch in the back court martin Back to abraham. He crosses half court Shot clock not a factor 15 seconds remaining third quarter to leave i richards up top Just two starters on the floor for santa cruz martin with seven seconds runs into walters swings it out st. John with three seconds Hesitation dribble drive that one's blocked by vinson And that'll do it for the third 54 Santa Cruz leads so kehl here on our game of the week on ctv We mentioned an sccl championship a part of a championship on the line with kurt edwards My name is tim swartz In kurt It's really been santa cruz's game tonight. I give so kehl credit. They only had 14 in the first half It just had a 16.3rd quarter But it looks like it's gonna be too little against this very potent santa cruz cardinals team Well, I think santa cruz has sort of turned it down just a little bit You can see them continue to Attack the rim and attack the lane. I'll give credit to so kehl. They played a much more up tempo defense In the third quarter And they did something that they didn't really do in the first two quarters. They made their free throws So we'll let you know about our dvds right after We show you this nice alley you that was thrown in by conroy bill domhoff Really dialed it up today Well for the seniors last the last game that santa cruz played which is against St francis it was senior night. There's a shot of stu walters veteran coach for the nights Tonight is the last Although technically was wasn't supposed to be the first time these two teams met It was a rainy night and it was supposed to be played here and it rained inside So they moved the game over to so kehl so they just sort of flip flopped their home games But this is the final night for the seniors for Santa Cruz they may get a ccs bid and play here at home, but they want to do it in a style Off balance and hansons fouled as he went up Santa Cruz won the sccal last season with this running gun offense And they are poised to win the regular season championship again All's you've got to do and hanson did a nice job He went baseline pulled up. He had a man there a little bit of a head fake Get the player to start to leave his feet then lean into him You'll get a blocking call Second snow good 24 point lead for santa cruz. They've led by as many as 28. They've got their original five back in the game walters on a hip check is called for the foul He gets to the line excuse me the fouls against hansen. You see the fans here On a discussion in the in the santa cruz gym Sports just makes people talk Although in basketball, you have to yell in order to communicate Baseball is a conversation sport Especially tonight It's just been very loud I believe the fifth against hansen So beto almeido Makes it 13 carnals who will play today Walters makes the front end Players act like it was a one-on-one. It's he's a tenth team for or what is the one-on-one? Everybody confused With the pace of this game That'd be easy Second is no good Still a 23 point lead to the carnals Hodges is back into the game Conroy Into the lane wide open st. John 18 footer nothing but next That's 11 points on the evening for st. John and you can see he set up baseline to the right of the basket The rotation brought him right where he wanted to be and it was a nice rhythm to make a shot Handoff walters swings left side acrobs three on the way got it Five points for acrobs almeido Carnals having trouble crossing half-court Ball is loose And so kehl ends up with it Walters right wing vincy add the open three acrobs has a wide open three left wing No good as almeido closed out on Hodges with snowden Drives left side floats it up. It's no good Acrobs Down the lane he comes ball is loose Stolen away Hodges with st. John Hodges tried to float it underneath st John is he's falling out twists at the Hodges and he can't roll it in Walters up the court no look pass acrobs Takes a skip back Wild ball finally a foul this goes I say one thing as far as the officiating is concerned It's been a tough night for the official because both of these teams are really using their bodies They're slamming into each other So as an official you have a decision to make How rough do you want it to be? Do you let him play? and Risk of getting too far out of control Or do you you know, where do you get that control line going? Five against st. John who You can't see on your screen, but just walked off the court and hit the showers Not my day's done We're up by 22 Walters makes the first is a 21 point game Sam who's one of the better scorers in the league. They've really Put a noose around him. He didn't score in the first two quarters He's got seven now. So we started to make it up a little bit, but uh Is that great saying a little bit too little too late? The second is good Tameo's in the back court for the cynic Cruz Cardinals Almeida Crosses it over to abraham Smart move by abraham goes down the middle didn't see anything there no shot not an opportunity to pass This brings it all the way right back up on top. There's a nice screen set by salmon Well, slung out right side three in and out and over the back against conroy Tim a while back you you'd mentioned that Santa Cruz continues to move that nice motion offense that they have They send somebody through the lane or the person with the basketball goes through the lane And because it's continual movement and it happens pretty darn quick You're right Soquel moves more as an amoeba instead of as an individual trying to get that one. So they'll pull off Santa Cruz isn't as peep newl jude. It's coach newl said They're very unselfish they just kicked the ball out Guys got a wide open look at it with a pretty good percentage shot 19 point game it's the closest sokel's been Second half 18 is the league 56 36 for 5 15 41 remaining in the game Almeida, abraham bounced it down The second effort's no good And conroy was fouled over the back by vincent I can't believe he didn't call the traveling Or at least a jump ball Ball goes up. He's actually the hand right on top. He both came right back down on the floor So it should have been either traveling or jump ball not none of the above the two free throws For clayton conroy and he misses the first and the second from conroy good I mentioned earlier Junior we had him on a halftime and the biggest banner in here is his final game in sacramento At arc arena, it was a skate championship for sanikers. That was one of the great stories you will ever see anywhere in high school sports It was that that team was a fabulous team Good unity good camaraderie tremendous players Widget airs that line That's sanikers team won the ccs championship. They won the nord cowl championship and they won a state championship Abraham throws it back. He's got a cross half court. He just will before the 10th second call He's got the speed That's one thing all the players for sanikers has good foot speed to mail Throws that one away So it's fun doing all the games here on ctv And you remember names to mail a big first baseman for sanikers's baseball team as Sam, it steals away a brand with the ball the great defensive back Almeida leaves it off wide open sandwich jumper clanks off the iron That's one thing i like about both, you know this squad sanikers and so many of the other schools lots of two or multiple sport athletes I think it's really important that these athletes play more than just one sport Gives them a little bit more of an opportunity Made some different friends have some fun And who knows you may you may go to college Playing that other sport basketball. Maybe you're number one fun sport But if you're a good baseball player, somebody you get it 57 38 with 4 11 remaining in the game But it seems like I don't know. I don't want your thoughts on this curt that any time a player Has a decision between i'm going to play basketball or football or basketball or baseball Why do they always choose basketball something it's always basketball if the player chooses if they have a choice You know, well, I'm going to go part of it Is it's a it's a fast-paced type of a game You know, it's it's a lot more exciting things happen in a quicker hurry You're indoors. Yeah for starters You just watch Sam Walters just kick the ball out for acrobat and he's got that nice looking and you see that great rhythm Up he goes and drops it on in And you know baseball is one of those sports softball too Where if you make a mistake There's no hiding Yeah, if you're the pitcher and you throw the ball down to pump and somebody like demaeo turns and hits it like 400 feet Everybody knows go through it There's I don't know if there's more or less pressure in either one of those sports But in baseball, there's there's no hiding and there's nobody behind you to pick you up if you blow it The center's not going to be there to pick up and maybe block to get the guy's shot 19 point lead Senators halfway through the fort and there's another foul abraham's called for Now you see demaeo out here. I hope he's going to go out and play baseball and Starting in february all of the spring sports start moving up Yeah, everybody jumping on the back and you see demaeo able to get that block That's a smart play by demaeo the foul has already been called don't allow the your opponent. Yeah, no, this is beautiful decision Don't allow that Potential ball to get in there. Maybe the official is going to call a continuation Never seen a foul pulled on the on the shot after a foul is already called sheer will come back in As sammit comes out Conroy is in just the you mentioned it's like a hockey game It's just players coming in and out constantly line change The only difference in basketball. You have to have a timeout to make the the line change hockey Do it on the fly Conroy says a little help down here, please And almeido shows to the ball. He's double teams. Look how calm these Santa Cruz players are almeido is one of the players off the bench and he's as calm as on the ball as anybody else Yeah, they they work hard. Their practices are intense. Almeido says we've got it the officials say otherwise But what do you have and stu walters does the same thing billy deed does They're practices are of an intense nature And and if the Santa Cruz when you've got 10 guys Arguably more than that with 10 that I can put my finger on That are interchangeable parts. You better play hard in practice As well as the game or you're gonna lose your spot Sheer lays it in a 16 point lead for santa Cruz 330 remaining Hodges great pass right side jumper Rolls out The Hodges deserved an assist for that pass to Conroy. He really did. That was a good shot. It went way down in And the ball's not falling quite as much as it used to for santa Cruz They've backed off this rival a little bit And alco sir to get the ball throw it off This opponent keeping the ball in sokel's hand to get it out of bounds But only 17 on the shot clock 57 41 santa Cruz has been stuck on that 57 for a while actually sokel's done a good job defensively Lead was as big as 28 for santa Cruz Abraham lost that rebound to mayo Runs in to st. John How's that about him? No Like made out of iron He's he was a great football player. He's a fantastic basketball player. I actually think he hurt the floor The floor here is old It's through the lane a nice scoop shot For cordosa who we not seen since his technical foul What's a 14 point game with two and a half minutes left? Everybody can get closer Timeout is gonna go Santa Cruz Billy domhoff calling the timeout There's a shot of billy. He's gonna get his crew over there Be interesting to hear what uh bill's gonna have to say Game whittling down just a little bit to be more interesting to figure out what everything else is domhoff's guidance that just gets out Drawing out what he's gonna do. Let's uh when he starts talking. Let's start listening So you see this nice weave the lane by cordosa 57 43 220 left. Santa Cruz is gonna do something here that they never do take some time off the clock There's the weave But they continue to run that office to look for a shot down it low and they got it with domhoff valigan shear And domhoff probably just put this one away 59 43 208 remaining You see that movement away from the basket way up above 13, you know 25 30 feet away They start that movement going meanwhile underneath you've got people like demail or st. John's or convoy Starting to work their way into the paint The passing lane comes open and they get it Pull up widget in the lane Santa Cruz leads by 1500 or two minutes left to mail up the right side Run the weave up top abraham so quick on the ball double teams no problem gets out of it And you can see the coaching that billy domhoff has done the these ball handlers are good both left hand right abraham Looks to release it And it's going away by so cal Down the court it comes out of bounds off of St. John Wholesale changes for the so cal night 60 to 45 one two three shown on the clock Coaches have not stopped coaching and the players have not stopped playing. It's one of the beauties. No hot shoes. Oh my gosh eight points abraham steals it away st. John can't get the lay in but three Cardinals were there and it was convoy who laid it up and good 17 point game 50 seconds remaining Think anybody's looking for a slam dunk. Yeah A lot of st. John was going to try to throw him down. That's what I was thinking. He just couldn't quite get it going enough abraham had that one taken away snowman Hodges Hodges look like he was trying to avoid contacts. He was good job by Snowden. He knew that the pressure was coming right behind him So he went in as if he'd have gone through the layup I guarantee it would have been blocked 31 seconds left 64 47 And a timeout call for by santa Cruz That's a good time out because you'll Let the fans enjoy an secl championship You got that one plus you want to make sure As I say both of these coaches continue to coach domhoff strong enough to plant what he wants to do off the free throw Whether it's a maker or miss Stu walters right now is his rally in his troops saying all right We got it handed to us. We got our heads handed to us tonight By a team that came out ready to play ball. Yeah, we it's a good point We really weren't ready to play ball Or they were more prepared to play ball mentally than we were take your pick whatever argument you want to use That's a great point kirk because it I don't think stokell came out with anywhere close to the intensity that Santa Cruz came out with now. I think you know so kehl beat santa Cruz in the dad's club tournament 51 to 43 and then They just barely Santa Cruz just did beat so kehl 52 49 in league play so bit of overconfidence not with stew walters at the helm, but You know sometimes a coach is coaching one thing and the players would think of another thing But when you stop off the bus at the end of the first eight minutes, you're down 18 to five Somebody wasn't ready to do something That score was also and it was The final score was indicative of how much better santa Cruz was Yeah, they stepped right back out out there snowed looking for his first points on the evening for the so kehl nights And that's a little bit of this is playing time for all of the reserves For so kehl that hasn't really gotten in the game yet And this is good because we need a tournament time. You never ever know When one of these reserves is going to be needed Second Nice fastball all should go all the way back to the other side. It was never cut I think I think to me. I might have gotten a glove on that thing as it was going by him 64 48 This continues to try to score 64 50 Is your final santa Cruz defeats so kehl And santa Cruz wins an outright sccal league championship Up to this one. Well, I'll tell you we talked about it just briefly before santa Cruz came out just ready to play basketball They did a fantastic job and they spread the wealth around a great deal You've got jamie st. John with 11 points to mayo finishing with nine points Hodges with eight points so it gives you an idea how Even These guys are and how they play the basketball game Now santa Cruz plays that high fly in style and if You're going to beat them. You're gonna have to get somebody on the ball to stop the ball And sometimes that's a little tough to do when you got somebody as big and strong as javie st John is Who's Slamming it slamming it through down there And we'll go to our player the game rusty is standing by Our George h. Wilson player of the game jamie st. John I've never seen a team this intense at the outset and you led the charge Where did that come from tonight? Um, you know earlier in the season we lost to so kehl in the dad's club By about eight points or so and ever since then, you know, we just we don't want to lose to him again And we don't we don't want to lose at all. It's so I don't know. There's been a lot of talk about tonight earlier this week the whole week and we just came out ready to go We were fired up all of us were all amongst teammates or the coach's part of that It was almost like it was like the whole school basically. Yeah, it was cool Uh, a lot of teachers just a lot of parents a lot of people from around the community And you may see these guys again. Yeah, we we probably will they're them and apps us.

I'm tim swartz in the kurt game number two of our doubleheader the boys of santa crews Like to run And they ran it out. They ran and ran and just for emphasis. They ran hard They were coming down now soquel had a couple of good opportunities, but they were out of this quick But sheer battling underneath gets the put back for the quick two points There's jamie st johns He's looking inside to conroy that little alley youth was very effective all evening long for santa crews Soquel started to play a little bit better defense and once you get through with this scrum Soquel started to attack the middle a little bit more that allows them to get the ball to kick out work it around And san waltz who was shut out In the first half of play was able to drain that three Hanson looking for somebody to get down. He's fought conroy Sips it over underneath the dameo who just had a monster game inside the paint all day long with rebounding and everything else The santa crews just kept right on coming if they're not going to make the inside shot abraham was going to be able to make the outside shot They keep kicking it inside working. You see a lot of motion kick it out to our player of the game St. John's and he just buries about a 17 footer and that was part of the mister inside outside Santa Cruz ran hit their percentage shots did everything and did it very well Yeah, and for the santa Cruz cardinals they get to put up another banner here at the historic gymnasium and uh You want to congratulate santa Cruz on this league championship in the curtain?
