 We're at North High School where tonight the Raiders take on undefeated Depeer. Hello everybody. My name is Mike Martin, joining me as the coach, Chris Wright. Chris, so we switched over from the Southeast game to come over here on the North side to watch the Raiders play Depeer. For good reason, both teams are state ranked. And North and Depeer, both undefeated. While you're talking about two of the teams that have been the better teams over the last few years, last year Depeer tied for the conference, went all the way to the state championship game and lost a very tough game in triple overtime on an unfortunate air by a player who called time out when they didn't have any. And Shaboyga North finished third last year and we got some good players. We have Devin Yerke from Shaboyga North who player a year ago. And then of course just a bunch of good players for Depeer starting with Brett Vandenberg who's ranked number 10 in the state as far as players are concerned. They also have a guy by the name of Jordan Poidras who's a 6-3 guard. Those two guys return as starters from last year's squad. Those 6-6 guys are going to be a load to handle for the shorter North team tonight. Well, there's no question when you look at the roster, you know, it's incredible and everybody I've talked to before the game, wow, are they big 6-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-5, 6-5, 6-4 and then you go to Shaboyga North and we go 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. So obviously you got athletic driving guards against the bigger perimeter guys or big post players of Depeer and how that turns out. A couple weeks ago we were here and we watched Shaboyga North play and we saw Luke Belmore just pick up a ton of offensive rebounds. We saw a Green Bay East team that was one and done and Shaboyga North's going to have to do the same thing tonight. One of the things that we've noticed over the last couple of years with Devin Yurick is he loves to go to the left and for some reason teams are just not able to force him to the right and if you allow him to go left, he's going to do a lot of creating. Yeah, he is and I mean, I think Devin's an outstanding player, he's ranked number 26 in the state but the games he struggled against last year were against the Depeer and Bayport, Ashwabdan, some of the teams with some of the bigger front line guys and if he wants to progress into college, playing against these bigger type players like this, you're going to have to really be outstanding and there's no question that he's going to have to count on a lot of points from him tonight and Ethan Gusky who's, you know, yeah, he's averaging 13 points a game but he hasn't really gone off yet this year. I expect one of those two are going to have to go off or North have success. Last time we were here, North had a very slow start, didn't get the lead over Green Bay East until almost at the buzzer of the second quarter right before halftime, they can't afford to do that tonight. No, they can't and they didn't shoot free throws very well and this is a very good free throw shooting team, I think. They struggle at the free throw line there and that's going to be better and obviously Shaq France is another young man, number 23, who's going to have to big, big game. He had a big double, double a couple of weeks to go so he's going to have to be counted on to get those extra opportunities as well. All right, with that we're going to step out. When we come back we'll have the starting lineups and the tip off for tonight's basketball game. Winchester and the Sheboyga North High. Back at North High School they're getting ready to do the introductions. Let's listen to Tom Bill Horsch as he does the introductions. For the Redbirds from Depear. Number 12, Jordan Poidris. Number 20, Adam Byer. Number 23, Brett Bendenberg. Number 32, Spencer Mokarski. And number 52, Kaden Coleman. And now the starting lineup for your very own Sheboyga North High. Running Raiders. Number three, Ethan Gusky. Number 11, Devin Yerck. Number 31, Luke Belmore. Number 23, Shaquille Francis. Number 31, Reid Conter. Conter is starting tonight in the place of Alex Menning. Tonight's first of the officials assigned by the Fox River Classic Conference are Tom Huneck and Todd Van Es. It's starting, the officials tonight you may have heard him right at the end. Tom Huneck standing at center court. Todd Van Es with the ball on the sideline. Good crowd tonight. Probably the second best game in the city. Between that and Huesburg Lutheran. Francis will be jumping center against Vandenberg. Starters for Depear go 6-3, 6-5, 6-6, 6-2 and 6-6. They are very tall. Francis jumped the ball and got the tap. Yerck has it. Mandaman defense by Depear and a good call. Francis on the turnover, playing full court pressure. Bayer bringing it up against Yerck. North of the course and a Mandaman defense. Pass inside to Vandenberg for an easy two. Way too easy Marty, way too easy. There's a mix up on the defense there. Francis almost had it tipped away, showed good hands there. Yerck bounced it on the line, had it tipped away, got it back but then he bounced it on the line. Two trips, two turnovers. This is why I think North's going to have to create easy opportunities. Get turnovers and then baskets. You got to use that press. Bayer right down the middle. A good save by Francis and he threw it off a Depear player. Bayer's going to make Yerck work, Chris. Belmore being guarded by Poydras. Contra, looked like he might have had a look but good cover up. Defense is steady, takes it to the Hoopin scores. Two to two. Reed coming in at eight points the game. Four Raiders and double figures and four Redbirds. Eric Wiesman running camera up here. Vandenberg cuts down the lane, kicks it back out to Bayer. His rainbow shot is no good. Putback is good by Coleman and a steal. Poydras, good. Six to six minutes. Those were the kind of things we were hoping would happen for the North Siders. Another turnover. Yerck was looking for somebody to flash in the middle of the lane but it didn't happen. Vandenberg couldn't get it, tipped no good. Another tip. Contra finally comes away with it. And again looking for Belmore to run the court. He did not in Yerck, threw it away. We haven't seen a North team this disjointed in a long time, Chris. Now Devon four early turnovers in three, two and a half minutes. Not handling the pressure early. Nervous at home. Bayer gives it off to Poydras. Illegal screen set by Vandenberg with no call. That's deep. Looks like Belmore is barely getting away with that carry, Chris. Backdoor cut. There's where the height paid big dividends for the Redbirds. Oh, wow. Gusky in the wrong place at the wrong time gets called for the fall. Five minutes remaining in the first quarter. It's six to two to peer. They've had a pretty good start. North has been piling up the turnovers early on. They should be lucky they're only down six to two. Vandenberg working on Conter and then tried to kick it out. Gusky with the good hands. And he lost it out of bounds. Not that there's ever a good turnover, but that was the hustle variety. Bayer on a little bit of a bust out. They got numbers and he goes right down Main Street and lays it in. Always got to take a charge. Eight to two. Conter couldn't get it to go. And Belmour was on the line first. Spencer Mokarski plying the pressure inside and he's coming out checking in is Brett Marshall, number 22. He's six to also. One big hit to another one. Yeah, really. Belmour on a bad fall. Ammeister coming in. Yerck now has a poydress. That'll be a good match up, Chris. Three point attempt is no good. Yerck down the lane gets fouled. Bayer on the fall is first. First team fall on the pier. That was a pretty long streak there, Chris, of not scoring. Finally broken by a free throw by Devin Yerck. 4-0-3 remaining in the first. It's eight to four to pier. Yerck outside the line. Couldn't get it. Rebound by Vandenberg. And wide open as Coleman. He lays it up and in. Two points already. The pier averaging 76 a game. North 72 a game. Wow, they got a poydress for a kick. But I'll tell you, the ball inadvertently bounced on his foot. I think that was a bad call. Good for the north side though. Just ten to four. As bad as they're playing. They're still right there, Marty. Francis had it blocked by Vandenberg. Pardon me, by Coleman. Good defense played by that young man. The pier making it very tough for North to drive the lane. Which they had to do to be successful, Marty. Keep North out of the lane. Drive and kick. You got to start with the drive part. Hammeister. Got it. Three pointer. That was deep, Marty. Now you're just down by three. Good hands inside. Goes off the pier player. Bayer, I believe that was. Drive it back with a chance to tie. Ten, seven, three, oh eight. Sorry, Marty. I was going to say the pier has four or two turnovers. North only has four? No, the pier. No, but I meant. Okay, I suit you. I got to know. Yeah, North has six. Gusky from way downtown. He nails it. Just like that we're tied. Ten to ten. Under three minutes. Good help by Hammeister. Poidress open. He nails a three. Missed his first two. Hit that one. Thirteen to ten. The pier. Contour. Wanted to, but covered up by the defender, Marshall. Francis. Off a nice pass, laid it up and in. Thirteen to twelve. The pier is still on top. They're looking to dump inside, a defense played by Yerick. Contour trying to force him left. Oh, Francis with the block. Hammeister with the save, but right the buyer. Good hands by the North Siders, Chris. Lot of action underneath the basket. North comes away with it with a chance to take the lead. Yerick, pardon me, Gusky. No good, but Yerick comes away with the board. Nice drive to the basket by Devin Yerick and he's fouled, he'll go to the line again. Minute sixteen left. Chance to get the lead. Foul goes on. Caden Coleman is first. Yerick was two for two his last trip. Alec Menning coming in for Reed Contour. It's almost like a hockey game. New line coming in. Krister shooting a free throw is much better so far tonight. Four for four. That was smart basketball that time by Depear. Poydras from outside the line. No good, but he's fouled. Francis fouled. Foul's on Byer, his second. Oh, they're calling it on Marshall instead. That's his first. That's too bad. Under a minute, fourteen to thirteen North. That's gotta be a foul there. Francis couldn't get it, but he's fouled. While they're doing what they need to do now, Marty, they're starting to drive and get in there. They're getting fouled. What happened on the other end of the court, Chris, that I noticed was Yerick went over to a double team, Polkarski, and he was guarding, pardon me, he was guarding Polkarski, and he cut right to the basket when his defender left. That's why he was so wide open. And I thought it was a smart play on his part to go to the hoop like that. Francis on an O for two trip there. Oh, there's a travel. They might say the ball was tipped away. There was no way there. Everybody was watching the Belmore running to the screen. Newhouse double teamed. Balls tipped out of bounds. There's 23.7 seconds remaining in the quarter. North is up. Fourteen to thirteen. I don't understand this. You give your starters a break right with a minute and fifteen left. They're gonna have a break for a timeout in a minute. So that was kind of strange how Depeer played that. Bandenberg and Byer back in. Four of the five starters for Depeer back in. North has three. Ball threw it away. Guski has it with under ten seconds. Chetty! Nails went at the buzzer. Alec Menning. Seventeen to thirteen at the end of one quarter play. I am a Packer fan. We're Packers fans. Hi, I'm David Collins. Superintendent of the Wisconsin State Patrol. Packers fans are the best fans in football. We are the ultimate team players. The ultimate team player. Be the ultimate team player. Always have a designated driver. Always have a designated driver. Live responsibly. Packer fans. Don't let fans drive drunk. Responsibility has its rewards. Getting the three point baskets for North. Where Joe Hammeister started it off and then Guski followed that and then right at the buzzer Alec Menning did the same thing. So good quarter for North. Started off kind of slow with a lot of turnovers. Depeer had a six point run but North able to counter that with a seven point run to end the quarter. They were down thirteen to ten and ran off seven straight points. Now lead seventeen to thirteen. Did you tell Bill Horsett we're here? No, I didn't give him a note. We'll have to do that at halftime. Our next game is a big one. We'll be right back here on Saturday night for the North-South games. The varsity girls will start at six and then following that we'll have the varsity boys and we look forward to that. Those games will not be live. We are having issues with our regular equipment and things that we needed to send out to be refurbished have not come back yet. We'll have to go without the live broadcast. A good offensive rebound. Goes off of Devin Yerck. Depeer will get it back. Good hard play inside by Marshall. He kept it alive. Ten to four right Marty? At one point it was ten to four. Seventeen, thirteen, four of, excuse me, three of five shooting from three point Alps. Too easy. Byer to the basket for two. Seventeen to fifteen North. Belmore looking to go to the hoop. A good help. Defense in a steal made by Mokarski. Inside to Coleman. He's deep. He's got it. Seventeen to seventeen. Mokarski with six points. It looked like it went off of Spencer Mokarski, number thirty-two, North will keep it. Good start to the quarter by Depeer. Yeah, sitting that zone a little bit but they're going to keep an eye on the three point shooters of North. Yerick Linen couldn't get it. Tap up is good by Shaquille Francis. He's had a nice year so far Shaquille. Vandenberg able to tip it and keep it. Vandenberg's been like silent today. Shouldn't have said anything. You are a kiss of death my man. Oh that wasn't him. That wasn't Vandenberg. Oh boy. Waking up the dead. Haunter. Haunter going hard to the basket. Got the shot off and drew the fall. North six of thirteen shooting. Depeer now up to nine of nineteen. Tie game at nineteen by the way Marty. But North shooting free throws again. Good sign. Now they had a great start. They hit first four and then Francis missed two and now Haunter has missed his first. There's two fouls on North, five on Depeer. Slowly Kyle. Come on you guys. Nineteen to nineteen, five fifty remaining until half time. Vandenberg posting up Haunter getting some help on the back side from Francis. I like it that Coleman's so far from the basket. Good place for him. No way. Defense Coleman had it blocked. Francis doesn't come down on that block. He maybe won't pick up the foul but when he slapped down that was a killer. As I mentioned before. Depeer coming in at seventy six points a game. They've only given up 124 in their first four. Thirty one a game for an MOV margin of victory. Forty five points a game. North seventy two points given up fifty six. Little scared about North playing a worthy opponent. Their opponent so far this year just five and sixteen. So I wonder their four and oh their four and oh. So this is a big test. Definitely. It's nice to have it at home. They've been at home basically all year as well. Haunter had a look and took it and nailed it. How about that? Making up for the two missed free throws. Twenty two to twenty. North on top. Nice to see Reed successful. Every time I think I mentioned it because he got hurt in that football season. Yeah that was tough to wait to spend your senior season like that. Vandenberg on a fade away. Whoops. He's now two of excuse me three of five on the night. And we're even at twos. Twenty two. Two's are wild. Oh good push by Belmore but no call. Fans right below us from the pure want to follow. Gusky gets away with the fall and Belmore forces it to the basket and gets followed by Mokarsky. Swagen North nineteen and five a year ago. Currently ranked number nine in state. Four and oh two and on the league. I told you to start watching out for that other team Marty. That's five and oh now Pulaski. They're also tied at the top. And another missed free throw Marty. You're not happy. Five in a row they've missed after making four in a row. Boy oh boy oh boy. You know and you can't have those kinds of strings of misses when you're playing such a good team. Just doesn't work out. And they're just still ahead. Unbelievable. Belmore gets a shooter's role on that second one. And now they're going to call many not a. Tiki tack little holding foul. You know. A lot of contact earlier and they call that. And I was going to comment how they're letting them play. Which is okay. Because if they're going to let them play let them play. And you can't just call that unless he's legitimately grabbing them. Six falls on the pure four on North. There's a charge. Dusky taking one for the team there. Falls on Marshall. North by one. Twenty three to twenty two at four fifteen remaining until half time. It's been a good half a basketball. Belmore taking it hard. Goes right through the defender. And gets called for the offensive foul. That'll be his second. I think that was a good call Marty. Yeah I do too. You know. That forced the official to make a call. And he made a good one. Tom Huneck on that call. That was a good call. Unfortunately that'll be two on Luke. Another young man that's having a nice season so far. It's early. Long way to go on the high school season. Still December. Yeah. Poydras. Pooch Desatelle wants to push off by their guy. But. Yerick is going to pick up the fall. That'll be his first. Devin was trailing a little bit. That's why it's kind of tough to give him that call. You know he's kind of closer in front. You might get it but when you're trailing like that it's going to be a little tougher Devin. And I'm not saying he didn't do it. Yeah. Falls are evening up now. It's seven four. A lot of contact there. And now seven on north. Hammeister picks up the fall. That was not a good one. No. Bayer will be going to the line to shoot one and one. I haven't heard much from Mr. Bayer but he's had a solid half of basketball. Adam Bayer starting point guard for the Redbirds. Yep. Averaging 10 a game. Just a junior. Talking about a team that was in the state finals last year had a very good chance to beat Madison Memorial. Yerke slides through the defense but couldn't get the layup to go. Coming away with it was Bayer and then Yerke. Tipped it away but couldn't save it. It's going to be Depeer Ball. Depeer 25 and three a year ago. They said tied with Bayport for the championship. North was just one game back. 343 remaining until halftime. Depeer on top 24 to 23. On the strength of a couple of free throws. Vandenberg lean in. Got it. He's tough inside Chris. Yeah. Here's where North needs to get a basket. Depeer making a bit of a run. They've scored six out of the last eight points on the floor. Well they haven't hit a three for a while Marty. Francis had it blocked. Depeer comes away with it. Vandenberg showed good patience there and Poydrasz drives through the lane passes it off but it's going to get called for the charge. Well Conter hit that three Marty and they haven't had a look since. There are four of six from three point range tonight. The Raiders are but it's been a long time since they shot one of them. Conter back in. You know I don't think North's really clicking and they're only down by three Marty. Well they're not clicking because Depeer plays awfully good defense. Yeah that's true. They're true and they've missed all those free throws. And a steal but Francis gets it back. There's a three boom. Yerke with a long one way outside the line. 26 to 26. Good offense played by the Redbirds. A shot is no good but Depeer comes away with it. Vandenberg 15 footer no good and not good rebounding there by the North Siders. Back to back. Vandenberg you're not going to stop them. He's smelled at that time. Took it right to the rack. 28-26 Depeer. Still just a two point basket boys. Rolling down to the two minute mark. That could have been a charge. Could have been a trip too. But it doesn't matter. Conter put his head down. Couldn't get the layup to go but he does get followed. I believe that's going to be called on Paul Colts. Driving to the basket, driving to the basket, driving to the basket. Tell you if they make their free throws Marty they would at five in a row really hurt. Looking good. Conter missed two earlier in the half and misses a one and one attempt. A good back cut underneath. Guski's got to pay attention to that guy. Wide open was Colts. Vandenberg thought he got away with the walk and then Guski got it to Francis. And he was followed by Byron for Byron. That'll be his second. Tell you what, Norse playing pretty good D2 Marty. One of the Norse students up here is yelling make your free throws. We couldn't agree anymore. Double bonus for Norse. Thank goodness. Minute 28 left and we'll probably talk about that at the start of the second half. One of the things that Norse needs to improve on. This will be the 13th free throw and they've made five. 28-26 to peer on top. 120 remaining until halftime. Vandenberg. Nice shovel shot got it up and in. He's just taken over in the second quarter Marty. Ever since Chris said he was sleeping he's been scoring. I know. The rest of the teams only shot three times in a quarter and he shot one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Francis. Takes it home and scores. Under a minute. 30-28 to peer. Coleman down deep. Makes a nice move. No shot. They're going to say the foul was on the floor. North catches a break there. Contra's just first foul. He's going to have to earn it with a bonus. They're calling that on Guski and that's going to be his second, Chris. What? I thought that was on Contra. It wasn't even near. Guski there I thought. But it was a good substitution because many hit that three to end of the quarter so you got him in here at the end of the second quarter. That's a good coaching move. He's a closer. Oh, gets the roll. Put it in. A peer coach by Brian Winchester in his fifth year at the school. Yeah, he's... North of the chorus coach by Tom Desatel in his 35th year. Winchester did his... one of the Green Bay schools before. Under a minute. 42 seconds remaining. North down 31 to 28. Danny Campion in the game. Making an impact, Danny. Making an open. Rainbow is good. By Campion it's 31 all. 25 seconds remaining. Vandenberg on the back door cut. Coleman rolls it in off a nice pass by Vandenberg. 33-31. Five. Yerick, no good. The peer has it. Long shot is going to be no good and we're at halftime here at North High School. With the peer on top. 33-31. There is no such thing as a small distraction.

The peer is led by Brett Vandenberg. They're all conference player. He had 12 points following him. He almost Kaden Coleman with 10. Adam Beyer had 6 and Jordan Koydras had 5. For the Golden Raiders they were led by Devin Yurick with 7. Shaquille Francis had 6. Reed Conter 5. And then a Floria players with 3. Hammeister, Menning, Campion and Gusky. And then rounding out the scoring was Luke Belmore with 1. Shooting 10 of 21 for North. 6 of 9. I was wrong, Marty. And the peer was just 1 of 7 from 3. I don't think Vandenberg hit a 3. You know what's interesting? Your bench players for North. Hammeister and Chetty and Danny Campion each were 3 for 3 with 3-3s. Really struggling from the floor is Devin Yurick and Ethan Gusky. Yurick 1 of 5. Gusky 1 of 2. But they're getting to the free throw line, Marty. And they're only down by a bucket and they got the ball. The problem is they only made 5 out of 13 free throws. Yes, yes. Vandenberg the much taller player guarding Gusky. Not allowing him to get many looks. Poydras on Yurick. Gusky with open look finally but couldn't get it. And the Poydras comes out with the ball. Good hands by North. And jump ball situation. Held ball, pardon me. Depeer will get it back. 8 turnovers now on each team so far. Depeer is 14 for 28 shooting. 50%. So both teams around 50%, Marty. They had a big second quarter too. Scoring 20 points. And that's what propelled them into the lead. North let it the first quarter, Mark. 17 to 13. Depeer scored 20 to only North 6 in the second quarter. Sometimes people wonder why teams are successful and you might have good athletes but I'll tell you both these teams play good defense and that's why they're going to win a lot of games in this league. Contra still guarding Vandenberg. That's a good match up. Vandenberg the taller player but Contra's got the muscle. Poydras open look, nails the three. Second three, Marty. He's two, excuse me, three of seven on the floor. Two of five now from three point range. Belmore kicks it out. Gusky open look, couldn't get it in. He doesn't get many open looks tonight. Boy he had a great one there but couldn't get it to go. I thought that one was money. Beyer was wide open underneath the basket for a second. Francis guarding Coleman, he kicks it out. Good extra passes, good hands by North. 36, 31 to peer on top. Francis to the basket, couldn't get it in. Beyer with the rebound. Francis three of seven from the floor now. That's a launch. Nice push by Coleman. Inside look, Beyer wide open put it up and in. North calls a timeout. Good timeout there. We talked about it at the beginning, Chris. North couldn't stand to have a start like they did against East. You can't afford to have a third quarter start. That's real bad either. Good timeout. No big concerns. Got to keep doing what you're doing. Keep attacking the glass. If we go by the last score of the half, first half, the peer is now on a seven point run. Coleman scored a basket late and we opened the second half with a three pointer by Poidris and then Beyer got the bunny shot him off a nice pass. North down seven, 38, 31. Good defense by Beyer. Guski, got it. Deep three, 38, 34. Now two of five is second three and all of a sudden you're right back in there just down by a couple buckets. It just goes the show. Vandenberg's gonna have to go way outside that three point line. And that time, Reed Conter just in time to tip the pass and it went off of Coleman. North will have it back. Way outside from the parking lot. 38, 37. Wow. That's deep. That's deeper than deep. Poidris. Good timeout by North before. How about that? You're gonna be having a lead here. Nothing but net. But it went out of bounds. 427 remaining in the third quarter. The peer on top, 38, 37. It's been a very entertaining basketball game. Beyer got through the defense. Shot is no good. Francis with the good board. Oh, a nice layup by Guski under pressure. He's got the last eight points for the Raiders and they're on top, 39, 38. Coach Winchester was excited when he North called that timeout. How do you feel now? Francis, good hustle on the D but couldn't make the save. The peer now, all of a sudden their heads are all down and they're looking for help, looking at coaches. I wouldn't be too concerned about that, Chris. You know, after state tournament run last year, they'll be a force to be reckoned with all day. Oh yeah, no question. Good inside, outside action. Poidris' shot is no good. Conter. The interesting which way they call. Good call because, you know, he pushed. You know, that's one of those, you let it go, let it go and make the right decision there. Chance to extend the lead. North on top by one. Ooh, Guski hanging out in the wing there. He's not doing a whole lot. Oh, Yerke with a leaner, got it in. Oh, baby. 41, 38 and the peer calls a timeout. Cannell run. How about those Raiders? How about them? Point baskets are the difference maker and, you know, as the defender, you know, how deep are you going to go in guard, Guski? Right. I mean, you can't count on him making. I mean, that's what you got to let go a little bit, but when he's hitting them. Can you say Ben Brust? That's deep. I just want to put a little pitch in Chris Lenz in the North High Student Council. We'll be having their fifth annual Howdy Breakfast Saturday, December 17th, 9 to 12. The cost is free as long as you bring in a food item. So that's very nice event that the North Student Council does. All their donations do go to local charity. So would that be steak and eggs? So December 17th, pancakes, eggs, sausage, pastry, fruit and a beverage just for a canned good. Francis hanging out behind Vandenberg trying to offer some help, counter guarding him. No fouls yet here in the quarter. I thought that was a double dribble. Good swing of the ball. Coleman had it blocked by Belmore. North comes away with it on the bust out. Francis. Nice pass by Eureka. Francis for an easy two. That was sweet. 43-38 North up by five. They're the largest lead of the game. I'll tell you right now, Vandenberg has touched the ball here in the third quarter down in any scoring position. North goes to their zone up by five. They like this 1-3-1. Well, that'll... The pier should do some pinning. Fire. Oh, he left them open and he made them pay. Well, that wasn't a pretty shot, but... Two minutes left, two-point lead North. That'll boy Reed. Double fake, but he couldn't get it to go in. I thought that was a nice move. And I thought he was going to finish. They have nobody in the block to pier. They're all on the perimeter. All these six footers, 6-6-6-3-6-4-6-5, they're all on the perimeter. Crazy. Boydress with a 12 footer. No good. Francis with a one-handed scoop rebound. 1-30 remaining in the quarter. Order North up 2-43-41. Francis with four boards. 12-3 run for North. Got to like it. Having trouble finding an opening here. Yurick off a nice pass from Belmore. No good, but Conter with a strong board. Yurick right to the rack and put it up and in. 45-41. Under a minute. Good idea. Have Yurick deep. Why stand out there? North continues in the zone defense. Vandenberg on the block now, Chris. And he got it and he's going to get fouled. Unbelievable. You put Coleman, your 6-6 kid, out on the 3-point line and he's a house. And you put Vandenberg in there, working in there. First foul with 37 seconds left in the third quarter. And they come earn it. 23, falling 23. Whoa. They should have a rule. If you can't hit the rim on the first free throw, you don't get the second one. We just give it to the other team. Start that in about second grade, Marty, would you? Actually, you know what we do at Jefferson? If you hit the net, you got a point. Why, you got such big holes in your net over there. And if you hit the rim, you get two points. If you make a basket, you get three. From where you make it. Oh. Oh, he missed a pair. Oh, you don't see that very often. Rolling down to the 32nd mark. Hammeister in the game. They're going to try to hold it here. I would think. I think Gusky had a back cut, but he looked pretty beat and didn't complete it. 15 seconds remaining. Poydras guarding Yerick. Shot is no good. Looks like there could have been a foul call. 15 seconds. Oh. You call that. You don't call it on the other end. Come on. Good move by Bannonburg. I agree, Marty. I think Yerick got banged there, and then you call that one. The student's section was counting it down. Three, two, one, so he shot it. And there's still 3.9 on the clock. Right now it's 45-43 with three points. Well, Chris just mentioned it. But Bannonburg will get a free throw. For Francis, that was his third foul. Ouch. That hurts. The foul hurt enough, but then they have him get his third. It was a double whammy. Oh, for three. Come on, Yerick. Oh. Shot at the buzzer is no good. At the end of three quarters of play, north on top, 45-43. What you doing, Dad? My favorite thing. Really, Dad? What are you doing? Paying bills. Every month a stack of them come. Just as regular as the rain. What's this one? That's a special one, son. I pay it first. How come? It's money for my retirement account. I put some money aside each month just like I was paying a bill. Wouldn't you rather buy something? I don't want to work forever, and I don't want you to have to support me in my old age. In a way, I'm buying peace of mind. I'm on the installment plan. In JV action, the peer defeated Cheboygan North. And there you see standing on the court. Matt Bands, the JV coach. In freshman action, the freshman team won. Yeah, they got a two-point victory. And again, thanks goes out to Jim Layrish for providing the names of the officials for us. Hewnic and Van Asse. A couple of Cedar Grove, Usberg guys. You know, it's all the same south of town, right? Yep. Eric Weisman running the camera tonight. Thank him for his efforts. Goski couldn't get it. Had to stretch out a little bit further against the taller, the peer guys. And couldn't get the roll. While they've been playing that three-pointer, so they drove to the basket. Yerick down Main Street, up and in, and he's fouled. It was 38-31 when the peer called time out. Cheering and jumping around. And since that time, North has just been on fire. 12-point run before they finally hit a three in the third quarter. 6th free throw is good, makes it 48-43. Francis got to be careful with that third foul. Shot is no good. Francis with the rebound. Good help, defense by Belmore to cause Coleman to miss the shot. Coleman in point blank range misses. And Coleman goes right back at Belmore with that block out of bounds. That's just Belmore's second shot attempt tonight. 5-point lead by North. Equals their biggest lead of the night. And then Bayer gets caught on a hold coming across the lane. And that was a good call. His fourth. Ouch! 10 points a game. 6-5. Good shooter out of the game. Spencer Mokarski coming in for him. Each team sitting with two team falls this half. 7-11 remaining in the ballgame. Nice back cut. Belmore's shot is no good. He had a chance. And getting pretty rough out there. Still a foul. Just one foul. Foul goes on Yerick. That'll be his second. I like it when everybody's jumping up and streaming the foul. Hey, referee's got it. Referee's got it. Intensity has been there all night. Yep, this is the big one. And... Oh, that's a good one too. Timeout called by DePierre as Poitras was trapped on the sideline. Our next ballgame will be on Saturday when we come back to Sheboygan North for the North-South game. The girls' game will start at 6. Boys to follow. It's really a celebration of basketball. They start in the mornings with freshman games. And then you can come to your breakfast. And you come to the breakfast. For the council, 9 to 12. Bring a free perishable. Get some lunch. All donations go to local charities. There'll be breakfast and children's craft activities. And live music. And the big man will be here, Santa. We're going to zoom in on Ron Knightus right in the middle of your screen. Nadia's head. The glasses on. Big runner, sitting with his running buddies. Ron is pretty much a regular here at North. Well, when he can make it. Pretty good crowd. Yeah, not too bad. I know the girls are playing, so that's difficult. Vandenberg got it in the middle, but he is fouled on the catch. I think they're going to get counter for that one. North really not in foul trouble. I know Francis has got his three. The rest of the DePierre stars don't have fouls. There's only been 6 fouls in the whole half. Four on North and two on Pierce. So it won't be settled there necessarily at this time. North still on top. 48-43. North in a zone defense. Good idea. They're packing it. Poidress. Under pressure. Shot rimmed off. Guski. Did that hit first? If it hit first, it shouldn't be... If it hit first, it went right back down. It should be Norris Ball because DePierre hit it. The ball is bounced out of bounds on the shot. Something has rotten in Denmark. Yerke with a steal and he's fouled. I'll tell you, not many coaches in the state that are prepared as well as Coach Desital. He has taken away all their in-bounds passes. All their in-bounds plays, DePierre is struggling. That's coaching and scouting and teaching your kids where to be on the floor, where they're going to move. I noticed tonight with the half-court defense is a very good help defense. Yerke trying to keep his balance. He goes up for the shot, knocks Poidress to the mat, but he's going to get the call. Poidress picks up the foul. Yerke, you're right. Yerke caught a break there. He's dribbling around scrambling. He jumps towards the basket and he gets a foul. That's what I say. If you're going to fall down, you might as well shoot it falling down. He's going to start getting hot here. Oh, come on, Devin. You're better than that. And he knows it. He's made five out of six. And that's not good enough. Gull Darnage, you got 15 hits in a row. Get number 16. There he is. And that's the largest lead now for North. It's 49-43. They're up by six. And I just like how North's situation here in this zone to appear has got five perimeter players with all that height. All that height. Where are you going? Vandenberg trying to do something he's not real comfortable doing, and that is driving between two people and threw it out of bounds. Third turnover in the quarter. First two minutes. North is up to seven out of 15 free throws, Chris. I'll tell you that half court offense in that zone offense is not good for to appear. Belmore did a good stop and go and got to the hoop, but then he was fouled at fault committed by Brevin Pritzel. North attacking. DePierre standing around on their offensive end. Belmore comes in at 11-1.5 a game. He's got just one so far tonight. Yeah, he hasn't scored much. He hasn't been real successful at the line either. Well, both defenses dictate. We're not going to have a game in the 70s or 80s. These teams are just going to slug it out. You're going to get your high scoring games against the bottom feeders of this league, but it's a little tougher here. Am I...no, that's not right. It's not 53-43. It should be 51. 51-43. And it is. Get another rebound, boys. Oh, York had to go off of his hand. Got to like that. Brevin Pritzel shooting up a three. First shot of the game at 5-43 left. Well, you know why you did that, don't you? He's only a ninth grader. Well, I'm just saying that's what you're relying on when you're down by 10. Oh, there was a clear out by Vandenberg. Caught the pass and then put it up and in. That was pretty slick. Eight of 12 shooting tonight. 51-45. North on top. He had 5-30 remaining. I'm sorry, Chris. I was just going to say Vandenberg had 10 shot attempts in the first half. He's only got two so far here. York! York takes them. Deep scores. 53-45. Sit four of his last six. Three of his last four. Money time for Devin York. There's the freshman again. Pritzel, a nice four on that shot. Couldn't get it to go. And Jack Francis comes down with the board. North on top eight. You got a freshman shooting when you're down by eight. You know, he looked pretty good out there, though. I'm giving that. He may only be a freshman, but good maneuver down there by Francis because he was wide open. Could have fired up a three, but didn't. Vandenberg chasing after Guski. Rolling down to the four and a half minute mark. And tie up. Good hustle defense by Guski and Vandenberg. Depeer will have it. Don't be afraid to keep attacking. Eight point lead for North. Four twenty-six left. Alec, go in. Don't go in, Alec. Just push. Fire. Looking to get it inside, but pretty good defense in interior defense. Another, you know, they dribble, dribble, pick up the dribble. Then what are they going to do? Coedris. No way. Grims off. Rebound. Fire. Slapped. No good. Belmore is going to pick up the foul. Coedris, Marty. All for his last five. That's a good thing for the North Siders. Two of nine from three. You know, I feel good. I feel good because they're up by seven, eight, six. Four or three, I'd be nervous, but I like the fact that, you know, North can handle the ball. That's the key thing right there, Chris. Getting closer to bonus time. 53-47, North up six. Devin Yerck really starting to get heated up, playing well. Contra being guarded by Bayer. You know, and they don't, they're not afraid to handle the ball because you know what their offense is, is driving to the basket. So they work on, all the kids work on ball handling all the time. So you don't feel uncomfortable with somebody holding the ball, Marty. Rolling down to the 3-30 mark. North backing their offense out even more. And part of that is because of the defense by DePierre. Guski wide open, fake, and he's knocked to the floor by Bayer. He'll be shooting a pair. Here's where the free throws really are important down at the end of the game. But you ran off 45 seconds. But you still want to come away with points. Yep, come away with some points. Had an opportunity. Ethan playing a good second half. Yerck both clutching up. First half, Guski one of two. Yerck one of five. Totally different here in the second half. Shows why they're big time players. North is shot considerably more. Free throws in DePierre. Guski gets that one to go. Seven point lead, good lead with three minutes left. Bayer at the controls. North remaining in that zone defense. And another clear out by Vandenberg to catch the pass and he put it up and in. 54-49. Koydras with a nice steal. You don't see that very often. Puts it up and in and he's fouled by Belmore. Don't make it worse by fouling. Give him the two. Belmore's fourth foul. There's two 57 remaining and all of a sudden that lead could be down to two points with a made free throw right now. It's 54-51. Just a third turnover by North in the half before. I'm a little concerned. But we're in bonus for each side. Next foul each team will be shooting. Go Devin, go Devin. Urik off the glass and in. 56-52. Inside to Vandenberg, back cut by Pritzl. Where are you going Son? Tries to get it up and in but couldn't and then there's a jump ball situation. Good fight down underneath by Francis. Now we know Vandenberg's very good. You said he was a 10th ranked player in the state but I'll tell you he's a threat whether he's shooting it or passing it. Four point lead is good with 2.30. It's two possessions. I like it on two possessions. Vandenberg still guarding Gusky. That's a tough match up for Ethan. A little push by Poydras not called. Rolling down to 2.10. North up four. And Poydras with the foul. Now we need some free throws again. And again, you know scouting goes, who do you want to foul if you're Depeer? I don't think I'm falling 11. Fourth foul on Jordan Poydras and we get a timeout by Depeer. Full timeout. We made a decision yesterday to not do the Green Bay East at Cheboygan South game and I know that might upset some of our Southside friends but we just felt that as a viewership, Cheboygan would rather be watching a couple of ranked teams in the state. Depeer I think is ranked fourth. North is number nine and it certainly proved to be an entertaining ball game. That's for sure. We're going to be following Luther a little bit more. It's not very often you get the 18th ranked player in the country playing it. We haven't had that before here in Cheboygan. We're going to do that as well. We always try to follow teams. We've gone for years. We've traveled to WI sites to follow any of the successful teams and we hope to continue in the future with our new purchase and hopefully we can do more of those regionals and sectional games that we used to do in the past. I'm looking forward. I hope we do more live games and all sorts of things and things to come. It's great that we have new opportunities with our new trucks and things like that coming up. Getting ready to start action again. Yerkel be on the line. He's going to be shooting a bonus. He needs to make the first to get the second. North is up 56-52. There's 207 left in the ball game. Yerkel has 19 points. Oh, Chrissy couldn't make it. We're all right. Two minute warning. They're up by four. They're really packing in Vandenberg which is the right thing to do. Boydras has now moved over to the corner. Bair got it. He walked twice but they did catch it the second time. Where are you going son? Good pass. Gusky playing it cool. Four set three pointer up. Not with the lead. And the ball 140 remaining. That's not a good matchup outside North just takes their time. Back. They probably practice this all the time. This is what we want to be in. Belmore good job of backing it back out. He saw Coleman underneath the basket and took it back out. Gusky a high riser on that one, Chris. 110 left up by four. Don't want to foul Yerke. Who are they going to foul? That's the guy. Coleman with a foul. Pardon me. Vandenberg on the foul. For Brett Vandenberg. I got him. That's his first foul, Chris. But that's what happens when you guard Gusky. He stands in a corner. All of a sudden he moves and you're not there. Come on Luke. Let's put one in here. I'll tell you this is going to kill him in the end. I'm afraid. Under a minute. Gusky almost a steal. No way. Vandenberg. Rainbow shot got her down. He's been tough. 56-54 north. Vandenberg with 20. A send counter to the line this time. Foul is going to be on Spencer Mokarski. Again north with free throw opportunities. Here has one time out left. We've seen this before. I'm not just talking north. I'm talking north where your team has the lead. You make some free throws and you win the ballgame. And now we're seeing it where they're not making them. They'll have another opportunity here. I'll tell you it appears going to wish they had some of these timeouts. There's a long time to go and you're going to need especially if north can hit free throws that clock's going to be running and you're not going to have opportunities to call timeout. There is no sense whatsoever when the clock stopped when someone's calling timeout. You should have plays. If you are the fourth ranked team or sixth ranked team in the state you don't have plays to run. I have plays that I just use in case I need them at the end of the game. Game winners call them money or something. You had plays that you worked on to set up to have situations depending on where you are. When you're at a varsity level you shouldn't be calling timeouts when the clock has stopped especially when you're down to one left. I hope that haunts them later. North can just stand out of bounds as it goes tick tick tick away. I just hope they can make some free throws here. Contra on the line are up two. We got it. 57-53 another free throw makes it a two possession ballgame. Time to peer. I'm going for two. I don't know what they're thinking about this year. Clock running 30 seconds remaining in the ballgame. Bunching it up inside. No good. Push off not called. Vandenberg had it tipped away. Byers fouled. Going for the fake was Contra. He came down hard. 18 seconds left in the ballgame. Good thing is you didn't give up a three. Not give up the three. Byer will be shooting the bonus Chris. He's got to make the first to get the second. Colt's coming in and getting ready to check in is Evan Newhouse for Byer. Byer is sitting with four fouls. You don't want to have him on defense. It's an inside out. It's a substitution based on the situation. Situational substitutions. Marcell's a big kid too. He's 6'2". I would have kept Coleman out there in case there's a long rebound. Whatever he hits, the first misses the second. You don't have your 6'6". 57-55 north. Desatel calls the 32nd time out to hopefully freeze the shooter. Can you understand my point on the Coleman deal? I understand your point. I don't necessarily agree with you though because you want to have the quicker guy on defense. Fouls are not a situation with Coleman. He only has two. He's got 18 seconds left. I was just thinking though they took some guys out of the ballgame but right now Vandenberg sits with 20. Byer has 14 a chance to bump it up to 15 with a made free throw. North is led by York with 19 and Guski has 12. Jordan Poydras, not in the game right now has double figures and points also. He's just for a 14 shooting Martin. He's averaging 13. He can't throw it in the ocean today. That's alright. We don't mind that. I was afraid that last three was going to shoot up there was going to go in. Spencer Mokarski is on Guski way down on the other end. Not that that matters. I don't think Ethan will be chucking up any three pointers with North having a lead by your shot. Oh no. Marshall's shot is no good. Shot is up and in by Colts and that ties it up. Who says you need the 6-6 guy? A box out Marty. You know probably what happened or threw readoff is it hit the rim the free throw and it kind of bounced off so he may have jumped too early and when that happened I believe that Marshall kind of snuck in there he threw it in and off like a brick but unfortunately he went right to uh... Actually the brick part was probably good because it bounced out long to one of his teammates and then Colts was able to put it in. A little surprising that North called time out. Traditionally Coach Desertel doesn't call time out because he doesn't want the other team to be able to set up their defense. And I always wonder why he doesn't call time out so hopefully it's going to work to the better for him this time. I want my guy getting to the basket because if you can get Yerke to drive one to the basket they're going to call one here. The nice thing too is you've got a chance to just get it in and then get it to Yerke and then let him bring it up. You've got 10.3 seconds which is plenty of time. If I'm to peer I'm standing in a zone I'm not going to let him back to the basket because I'll tell you what Devin Yerke's going to get the ball here real quick. Eight. Yerke's shot is no good. Shoot it Reid. Get in there! Shot is blocked out of bounds and we're at the end of regulation. It's 57-57. We're going to overtime. Missed free throws by North down the stretch cost him. Well Chris how do you like North's chances now? Well I thought they had this one Marty and I thought they could make a free throw The killer was the missed free throw by Depear that paid dividends for him. Who would have thought? I think it just bounced off the rim funny and Reid just... Answer me this, why are you pulling Coleman out of the game? I don't know. I hear you. Good coaching move there. By the way Chris this soda tastes really good this time. Since you bought thanks a lot. North just threw up seven. Well no they had seven that time. Eric Wiesman running the camera for us tonight. You're going to be at the North South game too? Eric will be running camera at the North South game. We're in a one camera situation I mentioned earlier about equipment being out for refurbishing and it hasn't come back yet. We're hoping to have our normal setup for the camera broadcast after Christmas. North comes away with it. We're all tied at 57. Again Depear playing very good defense. Conter rolls it in. Nice soft touch by Reid Conter. He has eight points. North up two. 59-57. Dumped down. Don't foul. Guski went for the steal. Couldn't get it in the Vandenberg with the easy and he has 22. Good risk reward there for Guski. Got the lead. Take a chance. Nice dump off. Jack Francis for an easy two. Good job by Francis. Again. North still sitting in that zone. They've been in that most of the second half. I'll tell you, nobody on Depear wants the ball. It's a Vandenberg. Coydras is so tough it's just ice cold. Great. Coleman's 6-6 in a mile away. We like him out there. We started with a four-minute overtime. We're down to 230. North on top. 61-59. Three white shirts. Great D. North. Great D. Byer looking good. He's got it. Both teams two for two in the overtime. One's a three by Depear though. Three point attempt. Byer with the good defense. That could be his fifth. Guski's wondering where's the foul. I thought it was pretty good defense by Byer. Good no call. Yerck. And he was fouled but no call. 63-62. North. 140 remaining in the ball game. Yerck has 21. I like him out there. I love him out there. Recovery by Reed Conter. Byer trying to go baseline does. They kick it out. Poydras under pressure. Couldn't get it but the offensive rebound is up and in by Spencer Mokarski. Where has he been all game? 64-63. Rolling down to a minute. It's the one point game. North three for three so far in the overtime. Guski. Bingo. Call baby. Poydras three of the night right there. He's had some other deep ones but that one beat it. 66-64 North. For a seven for three tonight for Guski. There you see it. 52.3 seconds remaining. North up two. Guski with 15. Yerck 21. Belmore. Belmore has got five. Francis with ten. Over on the other side. Byer 17. Vandenberg with 23. Coleman with ten. North had four trips with the basketball in overtime. They got four baskets. Depeers got three trips with the basketball. Three baskets. We better stop in here. He needs a stop. That's a pretty bold shot by Ethan Guski. You missed that one. You're down. If you look at the fall situation. North only has seven so if they commit a common fall. They're going to have to make the first to get the second. And they're down by two. That's big time. What clutch performance is in overtime. Four different players for North. Konter. Francis. Yerck. And Guski with the big three. North continuing in the zone. Vandenberg in the post but he's getting doubled up. They're down by the base line. But then they backed it out. North up two. Rolling down to 30 seconds. Byer a throw. Off the glass and in. How did it get in there Marty? Chucked it up there. 20 seconds. This time just decides not to call time out. You don't want to do it now. Plenty of time rolling down. North will run it down for the last shot. Ten. Guski. Oh no. Almost a steal. After the buzzer the shot is no good. We're going into double overtime. How did that one not go in? Oh my gosh. That one doesn't go in. The only trip that North didn't get points. And it was crawling on the rim and didn't want to go down. We're getting set to do another four-minute overtime. You see it all tied up at 66. That number seven, that seven falls on North could pay dividends later on when the pressure is on and Depeer has to make free throws. And double bonus for North on that. Next fall, right? I think we made the right choice coming over here. I do too. Lots of games to cover in the season but you don't get to see the team number six Depeer and ranked number team North on a Tuesday night here. Chris Wright. Your play-by-play, color guy, Mike Martin the play-by-play guy, that's me. Eric Weaseman. Director slash cameraman now. Well now that Kerry Kultzer left Kerry stuck around until half time. He's our own CD. I think we might have been being evaluated that first half by him. Is that what it was? He's fixing the mics. The headsets, I mean. Well, let's see who's got gas left. Let's see if Byers, you know, if I go with Byer too, maybe he'll fall out. He's got four fouls. And Belmore's got four fouls. Poitras has four also. So Depeer in a little bit of jeopardy in that respect. Let's see if he can jump the ball without getting called. Ben Byrd controls the tap. Byer has it. North continuing in the zone. Poitras does not even look to shoot anymore, Marty. He's just been ice cold. I would still put pressure on his shot though I wouldn't just let him stand there. No, I agree with you. Chuck it up there. Miss from 14. Nothing but net. 68-66. Depeer. He was one for his last seven and he hits that one. Vandenberg guarding Yerke. And that's not a good matchup for Vandenberg. Yerke a little too quick for him. He only picks up his second foul. Double bonus time for Norse. So Depeer gets two here. It appears that five trips into two overtime. They've scored every time. North now on their sixth trip. The only thing they missed was Ethan Gusky's three, which I can't believe didn't go in. I told you one could near the averages of 26, but I guess we are. They're going to be over 70. Those two free throws puts North at 13 for 26 at the line. Chris, that's not very good, but hopefully they can survive with that poor free throw shooting. As long as 11's there, things are okay. I believe he's only missed two of those 13. All tied up at 68. Three minutes. Those were all that hard work and pre-season running helps. Yerick knocked the ball away, but they're going to get the foul on someone from behind. It might be Conter. What's he going to do here? Two or one? He should get two. Third foul on Reid. One and one. I told you. I told you. This is where the seven hopefully will pay off. It's eight now. Eight team falls for North. Rims out and North comes away with the rebound. They've got possession in a tie game. 245 left. Everybody was looking for Gusky to get that drive and pitch, but blocked and in a foul. Yerick picks up his third. Poidris will be at the line. That was a ninth team fall on North, so Poidris has got to make this first free throw to get the second, but anything after that, Rims will be in the double bonus. Yep. They erased that advantage quickly, Marty. Yeah. Right, exactly. And I agree. That was an advantage because 70 to 68 to pure up. 220. Gusky blocked out of bounds. Gusky wanted a foul on that, but good job by Coleman. Keep attacking the basket. Belmore. Oh, no. Gets fouled. Did a good job to get the ball back. And then when he tried to pass it in, that's when the foul occurred. And if that's on Poidris, that's his fifth. I think it's going to be on Vandenberg. His third. Well, Luke, you've got to have a couple of free throws here, young man. Well, they just made baskets in the first overtime, Marty. It's all free throws in the second. We're down to 213. Sometimes, guys become better free throw shooters when they mean more. Like now, down the stretch, a little bit more concentration. That type of thing. Good knee bend. And pure on both of them. It's 70 to 70. 210 remaining. Byer has it on top. North continue. Looks like they're in a man-to-man defense, Chris. Wow. Interesting. Good change. All over Vandenberg. Good defense by Yerick on Byer. Good person to foul. Good help. Defense that time. And out of bounds! North will get it. Rolled off of Spencer Mokarski. Guski and Francis applying the pressure. And the coach, Winchester, way out on the court. Arguing to call. That could be a technical foul right there, Chris. Well, what he was asking there, how about a foul? He's going to get a time out. How about a foul is what he was asking. But it started when Coleman lost the ball and it was up in the air. And then there was a lot of contact on between Depeer and North. And they didn't get a foul and all of a sudden it rolls out of bounds and back in favor of North. 15 for 28 from the free throw line. North has been there a lot. Even though they're not making them like we'd like them to, that's been the difference in the game, I think. Depeer shot 17. Made 10. That's not a real good shooting percentage either. 147 remaining in the game. We're all tied at 70. And... Vantage slips back over by North. Another one of these great games early in the year, Chris. Hopefully we have some more to look forward to in the second half of the season. January and February got ahead of us. Belmore... got it! He put it up over the defense and it dropped through. That was your definition of a teardrop. Going back into Vandenberg, turns with his right hand and lost it up there but couldn't get it to go. But draws the foul. Conter picks up the foul, his fourth. It's all right. Conter playing tough, tough D. Going to have to earn it though. Little more pressure when you're down here. He hasn't been real solid at the line either, Marty. Got the shooter's role on that first one. I like that match up. I thought Coach had a good match up there with Conter taking Vandenberg. Full time out. We're sitting with 115 remaining in the second overtime. North on top 72-71 when we start action again. Vandenberg will be at the line shooting the second of two. Vandenberg and Yerick are tied as leading scorers in the game with 23. Dusky and Poedras are tied at second leading scorers with 15. I have north just one of three shooting here in the overtime. It appears the same. One of one. One of one shooting. They missed a free throw before which hurt them. That started the overtime too. Poedras is a jump shot just inside the circle. North has been stellar from the line in the second over actually in both over times are four for four. Although all four are coming in the second overtime. Interesting to see who'll be the first to fall out. Vandenberg got that one in. Minute 15 left. Not it again. Vandenberg not allowing Yerick to get the ball. Under a minute. Dusky being guarded by Byer. That's been a good matchup for Byer. He's really put the clamps on Ethan. 50 seconds left. Nobody wants to come in a foul. Allowing Francis to get it out on the court. And again Yerick has not touched at this possession. 40. Don't think about it Luke. Shack on. Dusky took a swipe at it but he missed it. Thank goodness. Ah yeah. And that fan on the sideline I think taped near end. Dusky 20 seconds. Time all north with 14.4 seconds left. This was a scary moment for Elliott Savler and everyone at Richard Petty Motorsport.

Tape number three. But this one I was getting kind of nervous time because there was a little alert sign on our monitor. Tape near end. Get that tape out before the game starts. Alright 14.4 seconds left. We're all tied at 72. North with the possession. York has not touched it yet. 12. 10. Francis looking to take Coleman one on one. Good block. Shot from half court is no good and we're going to overtime number three. They're from small towns and big cities. Hometown heroes with courageous hearts and unstoppable dreams.

In the first overtime both teams scored nine points on all baskets in this second overtime just completed of the 12 points scored by the two teams. Six of them were, pardon me, eight of them were three throws so it'll be interesting to see what happens in this third overtime. Well I didn't like the way that ended there Marty. They had a plan and they fell that was a bad toss. Hey we'll take it. But you're right just one basket each. You know. Bellemore with a good move. Overlaid. Francis. Forcing it. Got it in. Oh baby. Forced it up but it went in. North on top. 74-72. Francis with 12 points. North. Back in the zone Chris. Good mix up. They just go to Vandenberg every time. He's got to be getting tired. Well one of the things Poidris shot is no good. Vandenberg comes away with the board. Had it tipped away but was able to gather it back in. Poidris again. Not bashful. And they're going to get Pullman. Over the back. Francis will be going to the line. Another amazing thing about this ball game is nobody has fouled out yet we have three people on the floor with four fouls. Poidris 5 of 18 tonight. Yeah it's been a long night for him for sure. Well I think we mentioned this in the last broadcast we did with North. If you watch back Francis' knees he's shooting with locked knees when he releases the ball. He bends them a little bit and then he locks them up and not that second one to go right. It's more of a flick. And that's going to be good sometimes but not consistently. 75-72. North up three. Bayer on top. He's been dangerous out there. He's sitting with 19 points. Well Karski on the wing. Bayer nails a three. Cold-blooded. 75 all. He's got 24 points. There was a travel by Devin. That was so unorthodox. Maybe I was wrong. Shaq feeling that's over time. Fillmore got it in. 77-75. I like the fact that North's getting contributions from different people. He's a strong guy. You know, Vandenberg's like everything for them. It seems like Bayer's been pretty tough, Chris, with that four. Oh, wow. That's going to be four on here. But, you know, that's still just four. It also forces the the peer player to have to make two free throws. Yep. This is a lot of basketball. This is going to be tough making free throws. How are you doing? He's still clutching. He's looking pretty good here in the overtime with his free throw shooting. North up by one. 77-76. Get the rebound here, boys. Hi. I just don't understand this. If you're keep calling time out. Maybe give it. Eric coming up limp in there, Chris. Going back to the puddle. He could be cramping up, Marty. He could be cramping up. I think it's his right thigh. I think both legs. I think he's cramping. 159 remaining in the third overtime at 77-77. You see Chris Lenz working on York's leg. Water, water, water, water. Wow. Alec Menning coming in. Looks like York is not going to start. They're going to be out there when they start action. You know the other thing is quality of play, Marty. Overtime. We look at the way they started with all the turnovers. You just haven't had that the last one and three over times. That was on Coleman in the corner over there. Clutch free throws. Nobody panicking. Back and forth. Shaq Francis came out. York with tight calf is still on the court. Now Chris Lenz is working on Shaq Francis. Who's going to help bring the ball up here? Oh, they got all kinds of guys. Okay, that's what they select. Not under pressure. Belmore brings it up which is kind of nice. He's been going to the basket, Luke. Him and Francis here in his third overtime. Kusky being guarded closely by Bayer. They're not going to give him any open looks. Good switch to. Vandenberg's got three fouls, Bayer's got four so he should be out on a perimeter shooter. A minute and a half. A tie game. Bayer guarding him all over. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Ball on Contra. He was a little late getting there. Ball was tipped away from Belmore for Reed Contra. That'll be number five. Shaq come right back in. Good to. Oh, Luke, excuse me. Reed Contra outstanding basketball game. Eight points, but the defense that he did on Vandenberg, you know, that's a task. I mean, that is a serious task in the post and did very well. I agree. I thought he played an excellent game. I thought that was a great matchup that coach had for this game. They've been money on the free throws, Chris. Look at him for eight in a row. Pardon me, seven in a row looking for number eight. I'll tell you, he hasn't made many shots but he's clutched at the free throw line. 79-77 to peer up. One thing that the peer has done in the overtime is pretty much has cut off the driving lanes. Get in there, Luke. Shot. He's good and he's fouled. You see how you do that, Chris? You tell him you can't drive to the basket and they drive and even get fouled. Well, I liked, I've liked him in his third overtime. He's been very aggressive just waiting for the moment. He's done it a couple of times and that time he got deep enough and drew the fourth foul on Coleman. Use that speed over that size. Too hard. Another miss free throw, Marty. 79 all under a minute. Boydras kicks it up to Marcos. Now they got a chance to hold it. They're going to call timeout again. My gosh, you guys. You got the ball at 48 seconds. A long time to go. A long time to go. I don't understand that either, Chris. Bobby Knight would say when he was coaching at Indiana is when you call a timeout like this now you got to get the ball back in bumps. Yep. Let them play. Look what happened when North had it with 14 seconds left in the last overtime. I don't know what you over time they've been going together. The second one, the end of the second one. And they couldn't. Now Shaq's got the ball out. Well, we planned on you're getting the ball so now what are we going to do? And there he stood and then time's running. Sometimes it doesn't always work out at the way you think. And the way North knows exactly how you run your out of bounds plays here. Maybe they can get a little tap in a pick here. But it was in a long time. The Piers handled the ball very, very well. Chris had mentioned one turnover in the three overtime so far. Well, we just had that one on Belmore. So two, two, Marty, but you're right. It's been very well played. Outstanding analysis there, Marty. Good to see. Especially for how long they've been playing. It was a lucky guess, Chris. 12 extra minutes of basketball. That's... Mokarski is going to trigger the in-bounds and the Byers left alone to get it. Ethan either kind of winched there. Oh, I knew he was going to throw it over there. I think North is in a man-to-man, but I'm not sure. Looks that way. I say yes. Rolling down to the 35 second mark left. The Pirol run it down and take the last shot. I hope they get trapped somewhere and they don't have a timeout left. 25. Long time. 20. Max got four fouls. Yerks got four fouls. Belmore four fouls. Rolling down to the 10 second mark right now. Pick and roll. Francis shot inside. The lane drains it. Timeout North with 2.7 seconds left. Vandenberg dead on. I'll tell you, that's probably the shot you wanted him to take. More from the free throw line. I didn't like that before, Marty, but that was really, really clutch. And well, Matt Bann's just asking the official, we get it on the baseline. North doesn't. They'll be able to run it so they don't have to just stand in one spot. But the 2.7 seconds left, you'd like to catch the ball going towards the hoop. Well, what I'd like them to do, if you could, possibly catch it a half court call timeout. Make the officials aware. Make the clock people aware. We're going to throw it to half court and we're calling timeout. Don't be afraid of that because then you shorten up your situation. I kind of try to run a roll or something. Screen to the opposite side. Because 2.7 you can't travel that far. You're right. So, you know, I try to get some kind of play where I'm catching a half court where I can call timeout and you still have a second left where you can get, you know, a shot, pass in and a shot. That's what I do. But you always make the officials aware of what you're doing. But we'll see how Depeer plays it and see how North plays it. You want a guy with a good arm here. Chetty's got a good arm. We saw him throw some half-back passes so we'll see how this works. Vandenberg guarding Yerick, that's a key match up in Beyer. Again, guarding Guski which is probably advantage Depeer as I would think. Especially with the height advantage by Beyer over Guski. Well, Depeer made a good decision there by watching to see what North was going to do there. I'm telling you, I try to do something where I clear everybody to one side of the floor and since he's right-handed I'm kind of throwing to the opposite towards the opposite from where we're standing and try to catch something over there in that corner. Catch it in your calling timeout. You'll still have a second and a half enough time to get a good shot off. Yeah, or since he's right-handed maybe have him start where Todd is standing with the ball have him run to the right and catch in front of the scores table just like he is right there and what I'm doing here is trying to catch him pull all my guys going one way and so Ethan's going to the opposite way and try to catch it here and do something to that effect. That's what I'm doing. Belmore taking Guski's spot in the deep corner. Guski's up at half court. Yerick, Guski, Belmore, Francis and Menning on the court for north. You don't want to get it to Francis up where he is. You want to get it to one of your guards. Shot at the buzzer by Yerick. Oh, rims out! A three-point attempt by Yerick. Hit the rim and rimmed out. The peer comes away with a triple overtime. 79 win. Oh, man. I'll tell you what, I learned a lot about north tonight. They earned their oats today and very well could have won this game. Very well played by Sheboygan north and the peer and Yerick is cramping up still. But tough, tough loss. Outstanding basketball game already. Yerick ended up with 28. Bayer at 22 for north. Yerick at 23. Guski 15. Belmore and Francis at 13 each. Our next broadcast is going to be December 17 Saturday when south comes over here to a north security field house to play the north south game first game. The girls varsity at six. Boys to follow. For Eric Weisman on camera my partner Chris Wright. I'm Mike Martin saying thanks for watching everybody and we'll see you down the road.
