 We're at Lutheran High School where tonight the Crusaders take on Elkhart Lake-Lambila. Hello everybody, my name is Mike Martin alongside me as the coach, Chris Wright. Chris Elkhart comes in one and three. Lutheran is three and one and we happen to see that one loss. We're open for a win tonight, but Elkhart lost three starters from last year and they don't have a real strong team. What have you heard about them? Well Elkhart Lake's the type of program in school that over the last few years is probably the program that's probably been hurt the most by enrollment changes. Manera enrollment there is really, really dropping. You get a lot of school choice, get kids that decide maybe to go to Keele, they go to Plymouth and stuff like that. So it's really tough to keep the kids that they have there and then try to build a program there. Just think about youth, try to build as youth in the younger grades all the way up and all of a sudden the kids decide to go somewhere else. So they get hurt by that and they really struggle out there. They haven't had a winning program out there for basically since Mike Koehler was out there and they try awful hard and do things, but there's no question there at the bottom of the league. They are going to start a freshman tonight, Antonio Bet and then three sophomores and a junior. So they got a little experience coming back. They do have a couple of returning starters. For Lutheran they landed on their feet even though they lost the conference opener to Usberg. They've been playing better. Yeah, they have and they're a very good basketball team. I saw that they were ranked number two now in Division V, which is a nice tribute considering they do have a loss. They did go on the road and played Cedar Grove last week and took care of business, bounced back. They played a living word squad the other day that was pretty down, but Coach Decker got to play a lot of his players and all these games are going to be better down the line because there's some big tests, especially at the end of the month. The more guys they're getting experienced and getting better every week and every game you get their young guys like Jers and Zastromore experienced, that's going to benefit when they do play Cuba City and Racine Lutheran. Well, the sophomore Tyler Zastrow is starting tonight and the rest of the group is going to be, well, and Phil Leipholm is also a sophomore. So they got a couple of young guys, but it all revolves around Sam Decker and he's averaging over 30 points a game. I looked the average I think it was 28 or 29 last year. So he's a force, obviously. Yeah, he's leading the state and scoring average right now and I don't think that's the most important thing for him. The other day I heard he didn't play very much in the second half. He got his points and then started distributing the ball a little bit, getting more people involved. I think that's another key factor of this year. We're going to see Lutz in a bunch of times, Marty. And I think as a team, like I said before, gets more experience and more opportunities to score and do things, they're going to get better. I think one of the things about Sam is, I'm not going to say it's the strongest part of his game, but it certainly is right up there and that's his ability to see the floor and distribute the ball and then it's just a matter of his teammates being able to make baskets. With that, we're going to step out and we come back with the starting line-ups and the tip-off for tonight's ballgame.

Starting line-up for Elkhart Lake, number one, Antonio Bet, number three, Josh Schneider, number four, Blake Lulks, number 34, Taylor Covered, and number 50, Justin Schneider. For the Crusaders, number 23, Phil Leipholm, number 32, Tyler Zastrow, he's also a sophomore, had a good game against Seussberg. Josh Wheeler, number five, number 35, senior, Nick Reddicker, and rounding out the starting five, number one, Sam Decker, Decker's 6'8 senior. Officials for tonight's game from the Milwaukee area, Mike Korn, Ron Jaggart, and Jason Grotsky. Grotsky will do the tossing at center court. Elkhart Lake is coached by Jeremy Harrison and coaching the Crusaders, Todd Decker. Jeremy Harrison played at Plymouth, Marty. He was a pretty good player and played in college and now has been with the Resorters for a while now. I played in college, too, but I'm not a very good player. Oh, that's okay. Intermirals doesn't count. Luther controls the tip. Elkhart in a man-to-man defense. Lauch's on Decker. Looks like a big mismatch. It is. Decker takes him right to the basket and scores easily. I don't know if that's what I'd have set up, but a little tough for him there. They really don't have anybody that's going to match up quite right. Wheeler with a steal. Takes it right to the basket and lays it up and in. Four to nothing. While Elkhart Lake wants to hang around, the one thing they've got to do is take care of the basketball, and that was not taking care of the basketball. Nice back cut, but a block. Sam Decker with a block on a shot attempt by covered. Good inside feed. Shot is no good by Rettiker. 30-second timeout by Elkhart with 6.58 remaining in the first quarter. Boy, it's early timeout, Tris. While he was on the sideline and he didn't want to take the out-of-bounds of the travel, so he called a quick timeout. Elkhart Lake got a win the other day. They beat Christian at Christian 53-52. They opened up against Reedsville. Got beat. Hilbert got beat, and Howard's got beat. All those games were well over 20 points. As we said in the opening, Elkhart Lake 8 wins last year, 8-17. That's one of the best years they've ever had. Better than when you were there. I got 7 wins, and that was a lot at that time. Alright, getting ready to trigger the ball in is Schneider, Josh Schneider, and Lake Lulks controlling it on top. Elkhart trying to create some penetration, and they do that time. Josh Schneider with the easy basket. One of the Schneider brothers it looks like. Decker sees the floor well, kicks it out, and good block out by Elkhart Lake. Inside shot is no good light palm with the rebound. Good effort there. Find Elkhart Lake. Every time I get an open opportunity, I'm putting her up. Zastrow going hard to the basket, puts it up and in. Nice shot that time by Tyler Zastrow. He's up to 13 points a game, Marty. Luther and averaging 81 a game, giving up 63 where the resorters just scoring 44 a game. Zastrow commits that first fall, Chris. First fall of the game. Why not? Oh, a deep three. Rims off. Good offensive rebound though on a putback by Justin Schneider. Zastrow nails another one. Got a left-hander. Got to like that part of it. Hubbard kicks it out. Rainbow shot is no good by Laux. Keep shooting him. Decker from outside the line can't get it to go. And on the rebound is Josh Schneider. You're right, Chris, you know, and you get an opening if you're Elkhart Lake, you want to take it. You don't have to get a little bit like Green Bay East was the other night and hit a bunch of shots. They'll stay in the game. Yep. Well, they've gotten good looks, just not putting them in. Derek Weiss coming in for Josh Schneider. Elkhart Lake just two of six shooting so far. That's why they trail eight to four. Ball is kicked on the attempted inbounds. Justin Schneider tossing it in for the Resorters. And Zastrow with the interception. Dunk attempt is no good. But the effort was nice. Well, my thought immediately after the misses, don't break your wrist. He came down pretty hard. Josh Wheeler commits his first. It's the second team fall on the Crusaders. At the line is Laux. That would have been a highlight dunk, I think, for us. We have so many. That would have been a YouTube entry. Putback is no good. Luther and getting a couple of attempts, but not able to put it in. Krediker with the last attempt. It's eight to four Christian. Christian Lutheran on top. A good move to the basket by Covered, but he couldn't get the shot to go. Leipholm right down Main Street, kicks it out. Did he get away with a walk that time? Could have, maybe. Couldn't see his feet. Decker with a nice move to the baseline side. Lays it up and in. Ten to four. Lutheran on top. Under four minutes remaining in the first quarter. Steve Reiner running the camera on top. We're a one-camera operation. I heard the tuck is done being wrapped, Chris. Oh, a nice drive by Laux, puts it up and in. Trying to make up for those two missed free throws he had. Shot attempt by Wheeler is no good. Ten to six. Five of 12 shooting for Lutheran early. Yeah, they haven't been shooting very good, either, for that matter. Laux's shot is off. Like him going to the basket, though. Zastro tripped. Got to call it. Laux on the fall. Got to call it. It's one of those excuse me fouls. I know Laux is upset, but what are you going to do? Justin, Josh Snyder coming in for Elkhart and checking in for the Crusaders is Jacob Juris. He had a nice game in that Usberg contest, also nailing a couple of threes. Three of them, I think. Yeah, and that's nice to have. Nice pass. Oh, a nice reticor with an easy two. You've got to have somebody off the bench, and I think Coach Decker is counting on Jacob Juris, the freshman to do that job. Another 30-second timeout by the Crusaders. They're hanging in there, Chris. Although now it's 12-6. I thought you nailed a good point about not turning the ball over and getting shots. Hey, that was a class act by Blake Laux there. Kind of threw the ball back to the official, and he walked right over to them and said, hey, sorry about that. I mean, wouldn't they call timeout there? Right. I know he's still upset about that foul, but that's one of those fouls you just got to call. Well, and it's just one of those things and kind of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, you didn't find me a soda, but I see you got a water. Thanks, Martin. Get on my brother-in-law, Jimmy Rush, to bring us over some free waters. Okay. Well, I don't know if they were free, but what I didn't pay for them. He owes me one. At least. Laux is going to get fouled by Decker. That's Sam Decker's first foul. Third team foul on Lutheran. Laux goes right around Decker, but couldn't get the layup attempt in, and they knock it out. Well, I guess we have a plan. Blake Laux is going to take it to the rack, and hopefully draw something. It'd be nice if he could finish or get those fouls. And Zastrow bringing it up. Being pressured by Weiss. Sam Decker right to the basket, puts it up and in. Laux wanted an offensive call on that. High riser on the jump shot is no good, and then Zastrow is fouled. Pardon me. Leipholm is fouled. Committing to foul was a bet. 14-6. Lutheran on top. Laux 1-6 so far. Laux with a nice steal. Good quick hands. Lays it up and in. Decker. And then they get a blocking foul. He wanted to dish it off to a teammate underneath the basket. It looked like maybe it was Juris, but Justin Schneider picking up the foul. Leipholm tossing it in. Lucky. Yeah, very lucky. By the Resorters. That's a very good pass. Leipholm taking it to the rack. Couldn't get it in. Laux with the rebound. Outside jumper is no good by Bet. Zastrow with the rebound. Lutheran had a bust out, but it was tipped from behind, and Laux has it now. Inside shot is blocked. Second block by Decker. He's going home. Look out underneath. Zastrow says look out below, and he's going to pass it up and in. Just like that. It's 18-8 under a minute left. Yeah, they've made hay here. They're on an 8-2 run over the last couple of minutes. Schneider being pressured, and it makes a lousy pass. Leipholm followed and he makes the layup, and he looks like he could be hurt. Leipholm's up. Looks like he's going to be okay. Ben Leipholm coming in. Leipholm coming out. I was just going to say, five turnovers on Elkhart Lake, and it's really gotten sloppy here at the end. This last pass was very bad. That was a good basketball at all. Leipholm trying to finish off the three-point play. Fills free throw, rims off. It's 20-8. 25 seconds remaining in the quarter. A runner is no good by Covered. Tyler Zastrow. Nice crossover dribble. Couldn't get the layup in. That shot is no good by Covered, but he is fouled. Juris is going to pick it up. Fourth team foul on Luthorne. Chris, the free throw shooting has not been very stellar here tonight. We're all for four. Just pretty sloppy in general. Ooh. Wolfly short. Juris on the run. Here we go. At the end of one quarter of play. Luthorne on top. 20-8. This was a scary moment for Elliott Savler and everyone at Richard Petty Motorsports. Thankfully, the folks in NASCAR have taken every precaution to ensure the safety of our drivers. And I hope you do the same thing when you get in your car. The Department of Transportation shows the cats and drivers four times more likely to be in a serious accident. Please do not text and drive. It could be the last text you ever sent. This message is brought to you by the U.S. Air Force. What do you got for stats here, Chris? I'm adding them up. And I got Luthorne in his 10 of 20, Marty. He got just two turnovers all, which is good. All for three from outside. Elkhart Lake struggling from the floor. I got him four of 15, Marty. You. Not good. Just over 25%. The other thing, I don't know what you got for turnovers for them, but it seems like whenever they turn it over, it turns into a layup for Luthorne. I think that's part of the reason for the good shooting percentage. Yeah, good point, Marty. You had him, I think, five for 12 early on. All of a sudden he went for some layups. Reddicker. Easy basket there. Off a nice pass. Yeah, they have five turnovers. Like every time a turnover, Luthorne is converting that into a point. We're at a 12-2 run right now. Since about the two-minute mark or three-minute mark of the first quarter, Luthorne has really been rolling. Sadiq with a pass inside, but the shot is no good. Schneider trying to come away with it, but he stepped out of bounds and Luthorne will get it. It's 22-8. Elkhart staying in the man-to-man defense. Leipholm, look like he was open in the lane. Dishes it out to a Zastro, and his three attempt is no good. All for four from out there, Marty. Luthorne, that is. Schneider got good position inside, but Lox threw it away from the defense, but a little too far and turned it over. Now, those kind of turnovers are, I mean, all turnovers are bad, but at least you're not giving them a layup attempt. Seventh one. You just watch Elkhart licking their defense of stance and things like that. It's not a varsity quality. I mean, they're not in position. I mean, some of the guys like Lox is doing it, but watch some of them. They're just standing straight up, play defense when they feel like it, but not all the time. Luthorne missed it, but Decker taps it in. 24-8. Ten points for Sam. Five for seven from the floor. Good hands that time by Zastrow. Eighth turnover. Reddicker breaking hard to the basket. Decker hit him, but he couldn't catch the ball. Blake Lox taking his first break of the ballgame. Antonio Bet came in for him. Sadiq shot is no good. Decker spotted light-pom, but the ball got kicked away. Not getting any better for Elkhart. Four of 17 with eight turnovers. Oh, we've been hurt. Wheeler coming down through the lane. Put it up and in. Nice pass. That just should never happen either. 26-8. There's a three. That one's good. Derrick Weiss. Our first three of the game. Ball is going to be committed by Light-Pom. Zastrow three of six from the floor. That three-point basket by Weiss broke a ten-point run for the Crusaders. Ten points in a row. Well, they've had a couple runs, Marty. Well, if I took the whole thing here, there was ten to two, 16 to two, 16 to five with that three, so it was up to 16 to two. Lox, good quickness off the glass and in. Oh, he's a good player. 26-13. That's in the ball game for the Crusaders. That's loading it up. Oh, good. Light-Pom down the lane. Put it up and in. Nice shot by Phil Light-Pom. I like that move to the basket, too. You know, he did that from the other side, too. That's the correct call. Yeah, and I was going to say, that's again that Blake Lox was able to get through the Lutheran defense to the basket. And they need to tighten that up a little bit. Another time-out by Elkhart Lakeland Bula with the 4-24 remaining, Lutheran on top, 28-13. They've used three time-outs, and they got two left. And they're all fulls. I suppose when you're down by 15, it doesn't matter why I save them now, because if you're down by 30... That's my thinking. Next week, December 13th, we'll be at South. We're going to see Green Bay East again, Chris. And that's a product of that goofy scheduled by the Fox River Classic Conference. And then the big one. Next Saturday, when South travels over to North High School's at Cutie Fieldhouse. Boy, we haven't said that much this year. It's early. It's only December. Yeah, it's only December. Hey, you coming to basketball on Friday? Yes, sir. That's tomorrow. I forgot I had my own little system of stats for Sam Decker. I think him and Johnny Decker, the only ones I've ever kept, lines per quarter. Oh, really? You could have done that for Nolan Free, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He got to light it up. Whoa, almost touched the line. Yeah. Ruffie said I'll call it next quarter. Oh, Schneider missed everything. Decker with ten points so far. What do you assist you got from him? I don't keep track of assists. I thought he had two. Yeah, I think you're right. A bad pass, Lokes on the steal. He'll take it right to the last get. And he gets it in. And he's fouled. Nice that someone step up and take a charge there. We're getting a position to even look like a charge. It's okay if you foul, but to just stand there sideways, then slide by and bump them for an easy basket. It's not getting it done. Not acceptable. Rettiker not able to get the free throw in. You mean Lokes? Lokes 28 to 15. Bangalow. Three for Lutheran tonight. 31-15. Rebound inside, and a put back is up and in by Justin Schneider. That was impressive. We were committing to foul. One, two, three, four, five. This is the sixth free throw by Elkhart Lake. They haven't made one yet. Lutheran is 0-for-1. We haven't saw a made free throw yet, Chris. Maybe you jinxed them into making one. I am good for nothing. Light palm. Kicks it out. Juris, rainbow shot is no good. Good rebound though by covered. Lokes on a travel. That was a good call. Lutheran on top 31-17. Rolling down to the three-minute mark until halftime. Elkhart remains in a man-to-man defense. Decker going hard. Push off, no call. Put back by Rettiker is no good. And Schneider comes away with the rebound. Lokes puts his head down, drives to the basket and scores. Light palm from outside. The line can't get it to go. Good pass inside. Rettiker for an easy two. 33-19. Lutheran on top. Weiss. No good. Decker high above the rim for the rebound. To the basket. And he scores and he's followed. Decker with 12 points looking for number 13. And we're looking for the first made free throw. Goes on Derek Weiss. Hey, we did it. 36-19. Nice catch by Schneider. And he puts it up and in. Lokes on the assist. Good job by Elkhart. Good hustle. Nice no-look pass by Lokes. Easy basket for a cupboard. This is stacking up to be not such a good finish to the first half, Chris. There has it knocked away. Pass over to Betten. He's got an easy basket. 36-25. Minute 20. Juris. Rainbow 3 is in. Stopped that run. That was a big one. 110 remaining. 39-25. Lutheran on top. But Elkhart fighting back. Shot is up and in by Bet. It was a 3. Justin. Pardon me, Josh Schneider on the foul. Second fighter on second foul on Schneider. 55 seconds. And counting. Double team action. Reddicker cuts down the lane, had an easy layup and couldn't put it in. We got a bust out for the Resorters. Covered. Decker 41-30. 20 seconds remaining. Schneider looking. Couldn't find anybody. Kicks it out. Sadiq had a pretty good look, Decker at the buzzer. Couldn't get it in. And we're at halftime here at Lutheran High School with the Crusaders on top. 41-30. Getting ready to start the second half. Some halftime scoring. We'll start off with Sheboygan Lutheran. They were led by UW Recruit. Sam Decker with 15 points. Jacob Juris had 3. Josh Wheeler 7. Phil Leipholm 4. Tyler Zastrow 6. And Nick Reddicker 6. For the Resorters, Antonio Bette had 5. Josh Schneider had 2. Blake Lauches had a great first half. Gord 10. Derek Weiss had 3. Taylor Covered had 4. And Justin Schneider had 6. Nobody in real foul trouble. Chris, you have some halftime shooting percentages. Yeah, how about 19 of 39 shooting for Sheboygan Lutheran? Just 1 of 9 from 3 though, Marty. And Elkhart Lake who at one time was shooting 30%. And 8 of their last 11 to finish out at 14 for 31 makes a difference when you don't turn the ball over and put the ball in the hole. You can kind of stay with Sheboygan Lutheran but that's about the only chance I think Elkhart Lake has they're going to have to shoot. 75%. They did outscore the Crusaders 22 to 21 in that quarter so even though they outscored them they're still going to have to play a little better defense and your point about the defense of stance really makes a good point. I'm sure Coach Decker doesn't like too the fact that Elkhart Lake is just getting to the rack. Where is the defense? You got to stay in front of those guys. Don't let them drive to the basket. Elkhart Lake is going to start with it down by 11 here in the third. Lauch's crossover dribble. High riser on the jump shot put it up and in. He's still shooting them well. Yeah, he's got 12 shooting. Yeah, 12 points now too. Decker, leaner, no good. Oh my. I think they're going to get them for an over the back fall. Wow. That'll be his second. Wow. I'm not so sure about that one. They called it on Reddicker. Oh, okay. Well, I didn't see what he was doing because I was watching the other battle. That's 41 to 32. Turn around. Jumper and Elena's no good Zastrow with the rebound. Getting a good look was Taylor. Covered. Decker, fall on the way to the basket. Couldn't get the shot in, but he will go to the line to shoot a pair. Covered's one of those guys that struggled early on. Marty was all for his first five. Made his last two, but missed that one. So he's just three of eight covered for the resorters that is. The first free-slope for Josh Snyder. That was his third fall. Picking up that third fall early in half is not a good thing for the resorters. 43-32. Laux. He's quick. He is very quick. Got to get your hands off there. Again, defensive stance for Lutheran. 43-32. Seven minutes and a third. That was a good look at his shot was blocked. Zastrow would look like it went off of his leg, but they're giving it to Lutheran. Steve Reiner up on top running the camera for us tonight. Caller man is Chris Wright and play-by-play guy is me, Mike Martin. Decker's shot from the corner is no good. And it goes out of bounds. Maybe saving all his threes for the state tournament. That was just second, yeah. He hasn't had a big run in the two games yet. I'm thinking about going down to Mechwan, I think, when they play at the end of the month. See him play Cuba City. Maybe he'll get hot there. Cuba City is big. It'll be a challenge. We point this out every time we come over here is that it can't be just Sam Decker. You mentioned it in the opening. They've got to have other kids step up. Not necessarily step up, just be out there playing well. Decker picks up his second ball. That was not a good one. Let it go with the board and a kick out. That's a bad call. He just stood there. Locke's just stood there. For Locke, that's his second person. Decker with a miss. I don't think he did anything. I think he got out of the way, if anything. He just let him go. That was a move. Wow. Zastrow with the foul. Decker now has 19 points, Chris. I thought that last dunk by Decker that Blake Locke's just let him go. Just a classy move of him. Did he get a foul? That'll earn him. Well, he knows the game. Don't want to get Sam hurt. Oh, Locke's. They gave Locke's the ball when somebody was checking in and he made it. Then when they did a redo, he couldn't make it. He does have 14 points. And it's 45-34. That one, they got to get him. Yep. Did the flopper, but they're going to get him anyway. That could be his fourth, it is. Third personal. Nice pass in by Leipholmen. Decker gets an easy two. He has 21. Decker on the steal. Look out below. That's high percentage, Marty. Very high. Although he did miss one time out. Elkhard Leik. Sir fourth. They may not have one left for the last quarter. They do only have one left. I know. I don't think I keep Locke's out very long. Got three fouls. Can't let it get away. What do you mean it's already away? You're right. They're battling out there. That second quarter was impressive. They had Lutheran on the ropes there for a little bit. Yeah. Oh, they got to shoot better and make them. They're doing all right. Two of five and a quarter. It's an 8-2 run with the last couple minutes. 5-25 remaining in the third quarter. It's Lutheran on top. 49-34 and Sam has been Sam. 23 points. Jeremy Harrison giving the official a little bit of an earful. Two of five. Three fouls on Sam Decker. Nice lead. Leipholm. Reverse layup. No good. Rettiker. Got it. I think Sam was just letting him take the rebound. Yeah, right. Go ahead, Nick. You can have a couple of points. Decker with a block. Pardon me. Rettiker with a block. And Leipholm with the steal. Oh, no. How can you get a charge? You hardly touch the guy. The Leipholm picks up the ball. Tough. Tough. A little gamesmanship between the coaches. Can't hear that. Lost the ball on the way up. Cover did and tried to tap it in actually and couldn't get it to go. Bet picks up the foul. Turnover on Luther. And I think somebody stepped out of bounds. Sam, I guess. 51-34. All-Cards hit a bit of a drought. Lowek's trying to work on Decker but couldn't get around him. Inside feed to Schneider and then he's fouled. Leipholm picks up another foul. That's his fourth. And if I remember correctly in that Usberg game he fouled 0-2. I think you are correct, sir. We could pull out the foul. I've got it here. Justin Schneider looking to make a free-throw. Elkhart Lake is looking to make a free-throw, Chris. Six. Seven. Eight. Oh, for eight. They're shooting free-throw number nine. Then they can't get that to go. Wow. That is unbelievable. Reddicker rims off. Now that's a second. Bunny that he's missed tonight, Chris. You've got to make those. That's what the good defense and then they called for a foul. Bet taking them to the baseline I thought, tested a great job of cutting them off and then he spun around. But it does give Elkhart an opportunity to finally make a free-throw. Well, we're in a bonus with four minutes and a third. Not going anywhere for a while. There's going to be some free-throws. Hey, one of ten. What is a free-throw percentage? No. Let me figure this out. Let me see if anyone in the stands can give me a calculator. One, one, one. Oh, no, 0.91. One of 11. What's that? 0.91, right? Decker with a nice pass. That one, Reddicker, got him. Reddicker six for 11 from the floor. 53.35 Outside shot by Bada's good three-pointer. 53.38 Laux playing the tight D Wheeler nails it from the corner. 56.38 Luther up by 18 with three minutes left and a third. Chris hoping we don't get too many fouls because it's a bonus time for the resorters. Taking it to the hoop was covered, but he traveled. Thought it was a nice move, actually. I did, too. I want to call the travel there. I thought there was actually a bump that time. Yeah. Yeah, so did I. Oh, nice steal by covered. One-on-one with Juris. Eve puts it over the rim for two. 56.40. Decker with an offense of foul, trying to do a little too much. And standing in and taking the charge was Justin Schneider. Decker's third. Todd, his dad is going to leave him in for right now. There's 225 remaining in the third. Luther up 16. Nice pass by covered. Schneider misses the bunny and Laux playing the tight D. It rebounds for Rettiker tonight. Not this time you're not going to get a charge. And Decker is sliding to the hoop. Put it up and in and he gets fouled. Although that could have been disastrous had they called it the other way. For Justin Schneider that's his second foul and the fifth team foul on the Resorters. Decker completes the three-point play. He has 26 points. Weiss couldn't get it in. Oh, Decker almost put it in. Couldn't grab the rebound. Out of an interesting. Great hustle at time by Josh Schneider to tip it away from Juris who was wide open. 142 remaining in the quarter. Juris with a rainbow couldn't get it in. Nice pass to Rettiker for an easy two. 58 to 40. I like that inside out too. 61, pardon me. Decker got it inside, kicked it back by Juris. Juris didn't make it but that's the kind of stuff you got to give him those chances to make them. There's a good nice pass by Elkhart. Cover to Schneider for two. 61, 42. Nice steal by Bet. Minute left in the third. Decker I think we're getting a flush. 63, 42. Luther by 21. That's one of those turnovers that leads to a layup. Those aren't good. Riker tips it away from Schneider. I have nine rebounds for Sam tonight. What do you say is about 29 points? He's got several assists too. Lauch's pushes it in and nails it fade away. Shot by Blake Lauch's 8 of 15 shooting for him. Wheeler a little bit short. Over the back committing the foul was Cody Fintleman and let's walk down to the other end and shoot some free throws. Justin Schneider will be at the line. Think of it this way Chris, if he misses this one they're only going to shoot one. Decker coming in with 20.7 seconds remaining. I don't know if I like this move. Get the rebound. I wasn't thinking that. I'm thinking pick up his fourth foul. He's still going to be on offense. He's going to be on offense and that's how he's got several of his fouls. 63.45 Lutheran up by 18. Schneider couldn't get it in. Decker with his 10th rebound, right Chris? Correct sir. Under 10 seconds. Decker fade away. Couldn't get it in. Sam wanted a foul, no call. Everything looked cool to me. At the end of three quarters of play Lutheran on top 63 to 45. From Maine to Maui thousands of high school students across the country are getting in on the action by volunteering in their communities. Action teams of high school students are joining Volunteers of America and Major League Baseball players to help train and inspire the next generation of volunteers. It's easy to start an action team at your school so you too can get in on the action. As you win, get in on the action at actionteam.org. Keeping track of the quarter scores. Elkhart Lake by quarters 15 in this third quarter. Cheboy and Lutheran very consistent throughout the quarters with 20, 21 and 22. They need to get 23 in the fourth quarter to keep the pattern going. There was an article in today's press by Jared Renzelman regarding Decker breaking Mike Kahler's record for a county scoring. Kahler, of course, playing at Elkhart Lake had 2,685 and Sam would need to average well over 40 points to top that mark. Another good pass, but the shot missed by Ben Leipholm. Lauchs kicks it over to cupboard whose shot is no good. Schneider is followed by Leipholm. First, Blake Lauchs has 16 points through three quarters. Nine points now for Schneider. It's 63-47. Weiss with a little pressure on Zastrow. Good swings. Yeah, good wall movement by the Crusaders. All kicked out of bounds. Hard to do much when you're stuck down on the baseline in the corner, sort of. Just not enough spacing. Luther shooting 28-55. Wheeler couldn't get it in. Oops. Covered, hard to the basket, couldn't get it in. Schneider forces it up and he's fouled again. Schneider's got five rebounds. Number 50. Jerse on the falls. And it's double bonus time. A glancing blow. They are not good at the line. Tell you what, they make all their free throws, they'd be about even. This would be the 17th free throw of the night. And they've made what, two? Could be four actually. Four of 17. Zastrow's shot in the lane is no good and then we get a follow up. Or a whistle. Time out by Lutheran. Full time out. Take care of a little business. Our next basketball game will be on Tuesday, December 13th when Green Bay East comes to town to play south at the south side of QT Fieldhouse. And then on the 17th, Saturday big day of basketball all day from morning till night. We'll be over at North High Fieldhouse to cover the girls' game. Girls' varsity at six. Followed by the boys' varsity. Live? I don't know. I would not plan on that, we hope it is. The truck is done. The cords are not in for the cameras. Hopefully they'll be in by then. Got a few days. If at all possible we will go live. I give kudos out to Scott for taking back to the studio and then he goes over them and adds some graphics to it and some replays on occasion. I've watched some of our games. How are we doing? You and I? The games are good. Nouncing could be improved. Doctor looking to get a three point play. And does. 66-47. Sam's 13 20 from the floor, Marty. 31 points. Ooh, a little rainbow was short. An Anzastro. How can you grab the guy's arm and then look at the official like, what do you mean I followed him? Holy go. Antonio Bet. Chucking up a couple of free throws. Alcar Lake. 42% from the floor. Hey, they made a free throw though. Up to 25% from the line before this is said and done. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Number 11 rebound for Sam. A whistle underneath the basket. I believe it's a fall on Alcar Lake. Paul's on bet. Zastro will be shooting. All right, Chris, just what you wanted. Both teams shooting free throws now. There's still 621 left in the game. Too much talking by the players for the officials. I agree. That started in the first half. Yep. You know, it's okay to every once in a while, but you don't need to have a novel discussed. 68-48 Lauch's blowing by Sam Decker and he commits his fourth foul. I'm impressed by Lauch's. I think he's a good player. One of those talkers. But he is a good player. Probably a second team all conference player. He could take our job. He talks so much. Shoot free throws better. Just him. Why are you picking on him all of a sudden? That's just a bad pass. Covered was on the line. He can get up there, Chris. That was maybe a volleyball. He could dunk it. Covered 3 of 13 from the floor. That was his first turn over. That was a hustle turn over. Yep. That's a bump. Schneider. That's his fourth foul. 70-49 21 point lead. Zone defense by the Crusaders. First time we've seen that tonight. Good decision by Lauch to set things up. Tried to do something but that was fortunately got picked away. Not a bad idea. Reddicker put back is no good. Wheeler missed the first shot. Juris on a follow puts it in. 72-49. And the Resorters use their last time out of the ballgame. Can't take it on the bus with you. Doop. 5-25 left in the ballgame. Tell you what, Luther is going to get to their average. They've been averaging 81 points since 1963. And they are going to get to their 80. I would be shocked if they don't. And this last quarter is taken forever. 33 points for Sam Dekker. What did I say? 35 is he averaging? That's what I saw in the paper. He's a little below his average right now. Number one in the state. I did see that. Other teams in the area that are ranked. Division 4, they're ranked 14th. North moved up a spot, too. Yeah, they're 9th. I thought they were 8th this morning. I saw 9th. You're probably right. I did look up their opponents so far. They're 4-0. Their opponents are 3-12 that they play. Oops. Their RPS is not too good, then. Shewellian Falls also ranked. Coach Eric Spielman's squad is undefeated. They're ranked 14th in Division 3. Usberg is ranked 11th. Lutheran, we've already mentioned. They're ranked number 2 in Division 5. Take-down. Dekker had his head up by the rim that time. Now he's got 35. Hard to beat that double team like that. Better off maybe to pass out of it. Doesn't hurt as much either. I'd get Sam out of the game. I wouldn't let him out there very much longer. 74-49. It's a 25-point lead now by the Crusaders. Goal of the zone. Looks like it's a 2-3. I don't like him being out so deep. I've always said that. Bet wanted to take the shot, but not with Dekker there. Weiss's shot attempt is no good. And Schneider couldn't control it. Ben Leipholm trying to get 3-0. You've got to get that one, Ben. Got to be strong. They got Ben listed at 6-4. I don't think he's seen it. Ben listed at 6-4. I don't think he's quite that tall, but he's a junior. 450 left. Lokes and Dekker have gotten to know each other quite well here tonight. Juris had the wide open look from 3-0, but didn't take it. Good look inside. Oh, man. Missing a lot of easy shots. Tonight it's not going to hurt him, Chris, but in a close game, those are killers. Can you say Usberg? Juris to the line. Shooting a couple. Count up the number of free throws shot, but that's no fun. 75-49. Got him 11 out of 13, Chris. 76-49 now. Bet. That was a nice jump shot. Silky smooth on that one. Breaks the Lutheran run, too. 4-6 shooting. And that's going to be all for Justin Schneider. Nice. Picked up three in the fourth quarter, Chris. Coming in is Tom Pritzle. Eight free throws in a roll for Crusaders. Ha, ha, ha. Oh, Martin. Yeah, long year at Elkhart Lake. Hey. That's a good thing. TV8 isn't located out there. Dekker's got an easy double-double. Yeah. I would say so. He had bunnies off his passes. He could be close to a triple-double. I am for 13 rebounds. Yeah, he's got to have about 7-8 assist, at least. Pass the ball. Too much dribbling. Matt Gum in the game, number four. The Gumpster. Over to Pritzle. This shot is no good. Dekker with his 14th rebound. I hope he gets out of the game soon, Martin. He pops it. I like that. Lauchs, he'd take it on anybody. Juris tips it out. Nice pass to Gum. Couldn't get the layup. Another possible assist. 2-30 left in the ballgame. Luther in up 77-51. Blake Lauchs. Another short shot. No good. Put it in. The Gumpster, no good. Another putback, no good. That short shot was by Fintleman. Fintleman again. No good. There go the shooting percentages. Right down the toilet. Pritzle, Luke, and Tobinheim. All coming in. Dekker takes a seat. In for him is Phil Leipam. Sam, I got 15 rebounds for him. I got him for 35 points. I think he earned dinner tonight. Take him to McDonald's. Pritzle's shot is no good. I like these guys coming in and shooting Marty. I never met a shot I didn't like. Sadiq in the game, number 25. Minute and a half. Gum was open for a minute. 77-51. Woopah. Leipam went through his hands but he was able to save it and throw it off. A resorter, Ty Tobinheim. Gum on a cut-through lane. Then Tobinheim, pardon me, Fintleman was wide open and couldn't catch the ball. He had the basket before he had the ball. That was the problem there. Seems like it's getting a little sloppy. A good hustle. Gum gets the loose ball. Sadiq with the foul. It's the basket. A free throw, pardon me. That rebound was captured by Lukas Pritzle. Gum, good hands. Juris comes up with the help. That was a right play. He got to catch the ball though, Mr. Gum. Juris has 8 points in the ball game. Under a minute. Rolling down to the third 35 second mark. Let's have one more follow. Falls on Gum. He is officially in the book now. Any way to get in, Chris. Any way. Remember when John Chumann brought his score books from the North South? When he did that armory, the only way you knew I was in the game was because I committed a foul. I had my worst games in the armory. Throw the ball. Can he make that layup? Yes. Gum with the assist. Lipom with the basket. 80-52. I said they're going to get to their average. They're not going to get there. Maybe I shouldn't say never. They could. Really? 81 is their average? 13 seconds left. They better dribble it out. If they were listening to us, they'd quick get a shot in. Shoot it, Gum. Get in there. Well now look at Gum. Look at Gum out here at half court. He never played any defense. Right. Well that's the end of the game. Luther and a winner. 80-52. We have tons of commentary before we sign off so why don't you hurry up? Well, Luther just took care of business tonight. A lot of turnovers and missed shots early for Elkar Lake and they dug themselves deep and behind. Never just could get over the hump. And like I said, Luther got better as he went again. Nice job by Sam Decker being unselfish. Are you done finally? I'm done. Okay. With that, we want to thank Steve Reiner for getting up the equipment and getting us through this ball game. For my partner, Chris Wright, I'm Mike Martin saying thanks for watching everybody. Our next ball game will be on Tuesday when we travel over to Salt to watch them please. With that, thanks for watching and we'll see you down the road.
