 asked in November, hey, can I do one of these games? And little do we know, we had to insert him into the lineup tonight as a regular color guy, so we welcome Phil to the game here. Phil, why don't we talk a little bit about your background here? You went through the schools here in Shebaul. You want to tell us a little bit about your elementary school, your middle school, and your Lutheran? What you're doing now? Yeah, with Trinity Lutheran and middle school and elementary school. And at high school, Shebaul Luther was a four-year varsity player with Tyler Zascio. We played here, lost of our varsity game our junior year by two points here. Just what I remember was the crowd in this gym gets very loud. And I think that's going to maybe frustrate some of the younger Lutheran players this year. Well, like you said, you played in this game before. You play against these kids in growing up as little kids, and then you get to play in the game. Is it a friendly relationship, a kind of rivalry, or it's one of those you like to get them just kind of sticking to them a little bit? Or what's it like to play against a rival like this? It's friendly. But of course, we want to win. It's a big game. They want to beat us. We want to beat them. But in the end, it's all friendly. And during the games, we're patting each other on the back. We're having fun with it. But of course, we've got to get that conference win. That's what's the important thing. Let's talk a little bit about tonight's game. Shebaul Lutheran, of course, made a great run to state last year. A lot of people thought, hey, let's reload. All they have left is Jacob Gerst, who's not a bad person to have back. He's 31st in the state in scoring. Caught me maybe a down year. But all of a sudden, early this year, Lutheran's off to a really good start. And some new guys in there got some young blood in there. And they're mixing well. And Lutheran's basically picking up where they were last year. Yeah, you know, I think Berhegan has done a great job. I think this is a new guy he's working with. When he started JV here, these weren't his players. So I think he's done a great job this year. I think Jake Juris has really stepped up in a new role for him. He wasn't really the loud leader that he was this year. I think that it's been a good change for him. And good to see Jerry Juris-Prestman playing so well early. Well, they're eight and two. Overall, five and one in conference. They lost the tough game last week against Random Lake, but they bounced back. And it looks like in the conference, for them to compete, it's always tough to play against your rival. But if you're going to compete for a conference championship, you're going to have to catch one of these on the road, too. Yeah, especially a game like this, you've got to be rebounding more than Christian. And you've got to just do the work in the lane. I think that's Lutheran's problem. So we'll see if Christian can turn it down inside. And we'll see if Lutheran has the answer for it. Well, one of the best players on the floor beside Jacob Juris is Caleb Kelly. We saw him in the fall carry the football. He was just an animal. I mean, he runs up and down the field. I mean, it's just incredible. And he's going to have to lead the way this year. Christian's got some big kids, too, which might be a problem for Roy and Lutheran, who really doesn't have any tall kids, over 6'2". Where I look at the lineup for Christian, they go 6'3", 6'4", 6'5". Yeah, I'm interested to see what Lutheran will do. It's to stop Caleb Kelly. Who are they going to start on in him? I doubt they'll do much zone, because very, it's not really about that. But we'll see. I know Caleb is a bigger, quicker guard than most of the point guards in the lead. I think that football has helped him out with that. So he's a great shooter, as well as going and attacking to the hoop. So we'll see how much he can do against his Lutheran defense. Yeah, and with Christian being much taller than him, you mentioned before that random like, use their height against that. So Lutheran's going to have to obviously defend the post against Christian as well. Yep, Christian's got to bounce out low, maybe get Lutheran into some follow trouble, make them use their bench a little bit more. We'll see if Christian can take it down low. Well, a lot of things looking forward to our tonight's game. When we return, we're going to have the starting lineups for tonight's ball game. To be a winning team, you have to work like a winning team. My team depends on me. And my team is 50,000 strong. It feels like to be part of a team, a winning team, a reaction team. All of you, man. Reaction at actionteam.org. Are you in? You always made sure I brushed my teeth. You told me that SMART was cool. You always told me to dream big. To all of those parents who took the time to make raising their children their most important job, we'd like to say thank you. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thanks, mom and dad. This message is brought to you by the US Air Force. Friendship, pass it on. A message from the Foundation for a Better Life. We're back here at Christian High School. Dwight and Christian comes in at 3 and 5, 1 and 4 in league play. And Phil, probably high expectations for Christian this year. But you mentioned that one of their key players moved away to Georgia. Yeah, Eddie Windsor, the sophomore center last year who was a big force for them, moved. And I think Christian's soccer and basketball are hurt from that. But I think without Windsor, they still can provide a good fight against Luther. Yeah, I mean, I liked Eddie Windsor a lot. And he was so athletic and really drew a lot of problems for you and other teams in the league. And I really think Christian was counting on moving to the upper echelon. Now, I notice they've played basically all the top tier teams already. They've played Cedar Grove, Ozaki, Howard's already. They did lose a tough game the other night to Usberg. But they played all the upper teams. And Luther's another one, so it's going to be tough. In a minute here, we're going to have the national anthem and the starting line-ups. But I'm real excited about tonight's game. I wish more people would come out to this game because it's a pretty special rivalry. And it's a neat experience. And you've never been to Christian or Luther. And if you walk through the schools, they're always so clean. And the people are all so nice. I wish more of Sheboygan people got to see that. They're just riding the clock. I'm going to get ready for the national anthem. So we'll take a minute here. Thank you so much. And it is to Christian schools here in this community with the opportunity to thank them, to join each other's fellowship out on the court in competition and close game. And sometimes our emotions get the best of us lords. So help us to behave ourselves in a way that's out of reach to you. Help us as coaches to watch this game and make their decisions. Keep us all safe. Help us to enjoy the evening. And our saviors to be in the evening. For the starting line-ups. It's a tradition to exhibit a positive, respectful meeting. For the joining of respect club, please remember us for the round-life school free zones. Now for the starting line-ups, Greg and Richard Crusader. Now senior, number three, J.M.J. Freshman. Number five, J.M.J. Entering number 18, Harold Byrne. Ladies and gentlemen, Ash Brown. Of course, Brett Flipsy, the veteran coach of the CLC, Hivin Kevin Brunig, the two old guys in here. And Nick Verhagen, who took over for a long time, coached Todd Decker, Coverage Ships champions last year and a run to the state tournament. Kind of strange, Phil. Lutheran seems awfully small. Yeah, that's how they play it, though. Verhagen likes to small. He likes to run and he likes to shoot threes. I see Christian starting at one, six, five guys. We'll see if we can get it down in him. Lutheran, eight and two. Christian, three and five. But throw out the records on rivalry night. And Christian controls the tip. This is Van S with the ball. There's Colwitz. 23 is Kelly. Gotta keep an eye on him. He averaged 15, seven a game. Right away to the height of Christian and a miss early on. There by Chris Tendali. Number five's a new one for you folks. That's Jared Jerse. Heard a lot about him through his elementary years, Phil. He got that right. Oh, Jerse, miss. Yep, Jacob loves to shoot. He can score quickly. But two early misses for him and a rebound by Tendali. Van S, that's Colwitz, 35. Maybe a walk gotten away there by Stecker. There's Kelly, and he misses. There's Jerse going right to the basket. Three point attempt by Lutheran, miss. And just another one and out as Van S gets to rebound. Christian's coming right back down the floor. They start pingo on Caleb Kelly, interested in the season by Verhagen. Yeah, I was just gonna ask you about that. And Kelly gets the first two. Two to nothing, 6-12 left here in quarter number one. Both teams trying to feel each other out. You can't let Jerse open, but he misses again and now we're gonna get a follow on the rebound. That one's gonna go on Carl Berg. First follow of the ball game. Lutheran gonna come out and they're man of man. Pressure, very token pressure, Phil. Verhagen implemented that, I could figure you just go on JV and he sticks with it. I think he's had the guys to do it and it works, so why not keep it going? Christian up 2-0, 5-44 left quarter number one. Here's the drive by Van S and it's blocked. Rebound there by Pingo and there's our first basket for Lutheran and we're gonna give it to Jerse. Two to two, both jerseys on the trap. They left Stekker open so he goes to the basket, misses a rebound attempt by 32, 10-dolley missed it, but he got his own rebound and put it in. Off it's a rebound, it's gonna hurt Lutheran throughout the game if they let that happen. While we talked about that in the opening, is the size of Lutheran gonna be big enough to handle Christian. There's a miss out there by Berg. This is Caleb Kelly trying to take Pingo. Three point attempt is up and missed by Stekker, but another offensive rebound by 10-dolley. Lutheran now on the breakaway. Little contact made there and I believe Lutheran will be shooting free throws. Gonna get Van S on that foul, Phil. Quick out little by Lutheran, they're gonna do that all game, they're gonna run the floor, Montezuma's got him. Vinnie a pretty good free throw shooter. I'd say so, I'd be a little down from what he expected this year from the 3-3 line and the 3s, but a lot of season to go, I'm sure I'll pick it up. It's averaging seven and a half points per game. So far this year, Christian's averaging only 10 points in the first quarter during the season, so we'll see if that changes tonight. They seem to get better every quarter, but their first quarter seems to be their bugaboo. So far it hasn't hurt him because the game is tied at four. There's Steker on the drive, there's Kelly, they're gonna get Kelly for a turnover. Not so sure about that, but they must have dragged his foot. That's his pull-up jump shot here like so, so I'm sure we'll see a lot more of that. Now he's a really special athlete here at Christian. There's a nice matchup, Jerse on Kelly, but Jerse goes right to the rack and scores. And Dolly with the miss, there's another old friend of Reeve on my Christian. Six-four, three-thirty-two, here in quarter number one. Kelly with that pull-up, Jay, that Phil talked about and he hits it. Jerse on Kelly again, two seniors, they both teams have a young team, but both coaches should appreciate these players because they do a lot for the team. Jacob is off to a cold shooting line, I don't see him doing that very often. That's when Luther's in trouble. They can't hit those threes, that's where they get a lot of their points from, so they're gonna have to step it up defensively. Joshua Splitgarberg came into the game when I missed him here, and here's our first substitution for Christian. Michael Alsum into the game. He's a big kid at six-five. Now Luther in and a little diamond press, Phil. Christian's got a guy in the middle. We'll see what Kelly can do with it. Good patience by Christian. Oh, just a missed by Alsum there, but the put-back. I believe that was Kelly. Kelly was six of the team's first eight points. He's averaging 15-seven again. Christian's got the lead back. Nice pass, brother-to-brother. And back and forth we go. All knotted at eight. Alsum's gonna try to attack. He doesn't score. Ten to eight. Berg's gotta be careful. He's already got one foul. Can't get two. Pingle. Yeah, Pingle scores to even the game, and there's just no backside help by Christian on that drive. It's a couple of times now that Luther's gone backdoor. Hendricks is coming to the game for Christian. There's a three by Van Asp. First three-pointer made tonight. And now we get another foul. This one's gonna go on Christian. And that one's going on Kelly. That's one person you don't want to get in foul trouble. Jared Vorpegel into the game. Who'd you got that fast? Did you see that? To Jerse. Jerse, which one? Off the inbound. Yeah, you gotta remember which is which with these guys. They're gonna call that off of Alsum, but I'm not so sure about that. Just picked him clean. Swift Gerber got the ball taken away from him. And another Van Asp shot attempt from out three. There by three, but we're gonna get a push off the rebound on Berg, and that's gonna be his second foul. Team number three foul against Lutheran. 13 to 12, Christian ahead. We're under a minute with 50 seconds left. Two bad fouls by Berg, one away from their hoop, and now this one right here don't need it. Good point. Pingleback in the game. And Christian's got their twin towers in. Oh, and that's just a bad pass by Van Asp. Jerse picks it off. And then throws it away with a tip. Yes, it was. Bad turnover by Christian on the inbound, but only a subad inbound, or it's turnover by Jacob Jerse. Oh, they found Swift Gerber. He can't get a three, and we're gonna go over the back call. An easy one there. That goes on Nathan Sampson. Lutheran can't hit outside. Yep, early on. Only one three-pointer's been made in the ballgame, and that was by Van Asp. Normally Lutheran shoots threes pretty well, Phil. Yep, Swift Gerber, it's the microwave. Gotta get him hot. Good attack there by Verveldi. They're gonna call him on the offensive foul. Verveldi's quick. We're gonna see if Pingle can stick with them. Yes, very long and lanky, too. Six-three. Jerse just needs a step. Kick out. Ball is up, and good. Vinny's got his fourth points of the game. Under 10 seconds, eight, seven. Oh, and a good hustle by Stecker to knock that basket away by Sampson, and at the buzzer, Tendali misses it. Exciting first quarter, it's 14-13. With that, we'll take a quick break. Best compliment I ever get is when someone says to me, you had breast cancer.

Then cash, the most effective form of disaster relief. C-I-D-I.org. We're back at Christian. We're starting quarter number two, 14-13. Lutheran leads. Sampson's in tight, but he turns it over. But unfortunately for Christian, Joe Wilkie was standing on the line. Another miss by Lutheran, and it's going to stay here. I think it's to keep your eye on Lutheran if they can start announcing threes and Christian keeping on the offensive glass and see if they can limit their turnovers. Jerse, getting a much taller Chris Tendali on him. A long three by Jared Jerse. And another reload for Lutheran. And that's one thing about playing here. You're really close to the side fill. Yeah, it's a little tight. You've got to get used to it. But I'm sure on the sidelines it's even worse. You've got the fans right there. And easy again on the inbonds pass for Jared Jerse. 16-13. Six point run now for Lutheran to take the lead. Stecker Tendali has been very active today. Kelly wants that ball on the post. He knows he's got Pingalong. Yeah, and he's a good athlete. He's got the position. He's nice and low. He's trying to get the ball, but they're not getting it to him. Jake Jerse knows this happens. He's sinking in the lane. He's waiting for that double team. Very good, I think. And also you could see Samson sinking as well. They're going to let Tendali shoot. He misses. Kelly's getting him fighting for the rebound. We're going to held ball, and this is going to stay on this end of the court with Christian. 641, quarter number two, wide open. The lefty, Wilkie misses. Pingal clears. There's Jared Jerse to Samson. He misses Tendali with another rebound. He's had a very active half, as I mentioned before. That's Fenneth trying to find something in the Lutheran D, which looks pretty good. Almost over the line. He's going to say he did. Wilkie kind of tipped on. And another turnover. Very impressed with Lutheran's defense so far tonight. Slitker going to come to the corner. They give it to him, and he misses. But there's an offensive rebound for Jared Jerse. He's got eight points tonight. And an eight-oh run now for Lutheran. There's Van Ness. Gets a layup miss. Good hustle by Stekker. And that'll keep the ball under Christian's basket. You got to elect that if you flip. So you guys are flying around off. They're not hitting a lot of shots, but their guys are getting after the rebounds, and they're going to go in if they keep on rebounding like that. Spooker frustrated. Can't hit a three. Yeah, he was wide open. Got to keep shooting them. Bart Hares-Kelly's shot. Bingo. You got to force him the other way if you are Lutheran. He's just too good. 18-15. Lutheran. Jerse, deep. Picks it out to his brother. Another miss. This time we're going to get a follow. Oh, no. I didn't know which way they're going to call it. I thought they were going to call it on Samson, and I didn't think they were going to call it on Samson, and they ended up calling it on Samson's, and that's his second. Samson's second. Berg's second. Big guy's got two. Now does Coach Verhagen like to play players in the first half with two follow? No. I know Coach Desatelle at North that's almost an automatic. They have. Got that right. I don't think they have any other choice. They could put in a hole-simer, but I don't know if he's got enough minutes and this is close game. Yep, and another turnover by Christian. Ram Verveldi checks in. Number 21. He saw him earlier. We'll see if he can get on the break again. Get to that hoop in the open court. I don't know. We'll see if they put a pingle on him so he could swing, and there's another three-point attempt by Lutheran and another Lutheran miss. Stecker's coming down the floor. There's Kelly open. No. Wide open shot for Kelly. He's got to knock that down. Tie the game up. Deep three for Jerse. A miss. Stecker with the board. Here's Kelly trying to get to the basket. A lot of dribbling by Christian. Stecker short. They could have got a brush up from that pull-up contestant. He got good in the lane. First going to the basket, and I think he's going to be fouled by Ram Verveldi in that sense. His second. Fourth team foul on Christian. Five so far with Lutheran and we're now under four minutes and a quarter number two. Wide open for Pingel and finally a three for them. Pingel now with five points. Stecker on the drive. Oh, basket didn't want it. And then on hustling to get the rebound they're going to get a foul on Jacob. Looked like it was down. Just didn't want to stay. Christian side of the wash like that first half. Normally they get the offense a rebound, different defense here by Christian. Lutheran going to try to swing it to get it to the opposite side. Terse. And then you get a foul and I think that's going to be Verveldi. No. Excuse me, they're going to get on Stecker his second. Lutheran's got to move that ball or quicker attack that weak side two and maybe knocked on a three. You always got to swing on that situation. So the defense moves to the opposite side. There's Splitgrubber back to Jared. Jerse on the drive. Kick out. Splitty finally got one. Good pass by Jerse. He could have got the layup. Good kick out. Good confidence in Splitty. Yeah. Missed a bunch before. Got his first one there. 4-15. Butch slips. He's not deciding to call a timeout. They're just playing through it for right now. Yep, pulling out to a big lead here on a run. Christian's got to do something about it. Pack it down low. Here it is. Nope. Kelly looking to get it into the much taller Christian players, but it's not working. There you go. Oh, it's... Oh, they said he grabbed Splitty. Now that'll be the 17th foul, but it's not shooting because it was an offensive foul. That's the matchup they want down low. I agree. Jerse on the miss. Verveldi with the board. Verveldi on the attack. Foul in the basket. Coast to coast. Nobody stops. Ball. Bird picks up another foul. That's his third. He'll find it. Here's the replay. Nobody stops. Ball. And then, basically, Jacob bodied him up. Chance for a three-point play the old-fashioned way. And he missed. It was 13-10 favor of Christian. But since then, a 14-7 run for Lutheran. We're at the 203 mark. They forced a lot of turnovers. Christian dinked as many offensive rebounds and Lutheran's offense, cooking. Jacob at the three-throw line hits the first. So he's a fourth free-throw attempt for Lutheran in the half. And they're four for four. Lutheran, excuse me, Christians just attempted that one. Very fast half, Phil. That's how Lutheran likes it. They rather run, run, run than let Christian pack it down low. I think that's a big factor that Christian hasn't shot or any made any three-throws yet this half. Well, Tendali had good position there, but it was a poor entry pass. There's an easy basket there from Holsheimer who checked into the game. Lutheran's going to win a lot of conference games if they get the role-players like Holsheimer, Samson and Spookerber to play well and score points. 28 to 17 rolling under a minute 20 in the first half. There's a nice attack there by Van Ness and scores. There's Splitty hit his last. This one is blocked and Splitty tried to get the follow, but they're not going to call that. Juris would have got that one. Well, he's a veteran. That's it. Jared Juris attacking and he gets turned over and this should be an easy pass. Whoa, a bad pass and it worked out. Graham Verbeldi had to run it down got it, then he gets fouled. Turnover turns into two points, maybe three if he can knock it down. Second miss free-throw. You know, we haven't seen that out of Christian at all this half. Pressure on their Lutheran guards. I think they need to do some more of that. Make them a little rattled with the ball. You see, they get a turnover off it. Well, on this hand on the rebound we got a foul. So missing the free-throw just adds to the trouble. You follow Juris and then he misses a free-throw. And a turnover. Deep for Splitty, no good. Juris he's got it. Kelly's got a hand on him and they're going to get a call way over on the other side. The officials saw that. Good hustle by Juris getting after the rebound. Thought it was just a good fight. Should have just played on, but Juris again another through attempt. Missed his last attempt. He's going to have two here because Lutheran is in the double bonus. Got the first. 33 seconds left in the first half and he hits the second. See if Christian attacks or goes for one last shot. I don't think Lutheran's going to they want him to shoot it and they do. Tendali got it. The big man from way out. Cuts it to six and now a turnover. They can cut it to four. He walked. No call. Cut to four. Lot of pressure out there at the buzzer. No. 3026 and a quick five points late for Christian to bring him in for every day.

Welcome back to Christian High where Christian closed on a 9-4 run to close the gap to 30-26. Leading scores for visiting Sheboygan Luther and you got Jacob Jerse with 10 Jared Jerse with 6 Josh Pingle with 4 for Christian. They were led by Caleb Kelly in his 8 points. Graham Verveldi for 6 5 for Braden Van Ess and 5 for Michael Alsom. Very interesting half Phil. Luther in comfortable and then quick close out there by Sheboygan Christian. Yeah, Coach hopefully has to be happy with that half. Good energy to close the half. They missed a lot of shots. Got a lot of offensive rebounds but we'll see if they can limit their turnovers to fouls. Luther didn't miss a lot of 3 throws. Christian got to hit some of their 3 throws. Yeah, as I mentioned before it was 28-17 and Luther looked like they were cruising along and a couple laid turnovers by Luther and got it a lot closer. One thing to watch is the foul situation, Josh Pingle I believe. No, does he have the 3 fouls? Carl Berg. Berg has the 3 fouls so we'll see if anything comes into play with him. And very fast first half really up and down the floor. Two plays for Christian Jacob Stecker and Graeme Verveldi both have 2. Graeme comes off the bench, brings a lot of energy but if he's got the foul trouble we'll see probably sit on the pine a lot. Yeah, I see Splitty's in for this to start here. Christian played better in the 3rd and 4th quarter. They're averaging 15 points and 16 points so they're going to need everything they got there. Luther comes in averaging 62 points a game. Christian comes in. You know what's weird, Phil? They've given up 451 points this year and they've scored 451. Exactly even giving up points to 8 games which I thought I've never seen that before. Well they like to say consistent I guess. So either they win or lose by the same amount which is kind of strange. Luther in with a small lineup we'll see what Christian can do against that offensively. Luther starts with it on going right to left shot in the mist by Jared Gerst. There's Splitty likes it from there. He misses a second reload for Luther and Christian can't allow that with their height. That's going to be dangerous for Christian if Luther gets more chances. Look at Caleb's hustle and that's going to be up to officials to decide as they look at each other it should be green ball because it was tipped after Gerst hit the ball or threw the ball up. Yeah I agree with you. And they're going to Christian exactly what I said. Because he threw it up in the air and it was tipped out of bounds by Christian and even Caleb Kelly knows what happened there. He's smiling going down the side here. I think Christian will take it though. You know they might want the ball back. Oh yeah. Well the stars have come out. Gerst has 10 Caleb is 8 so they're getting their buckets and there's a nice deep shot ooh they're going to get a foul there on Jacob Gerst as he tried to stop Christian Dolly. So Dolly with the bucket in the first half. Good call bring it in Samson they got to have some meat down the low because Gerst can't do it all by himself. There's a lob to Kelly and it goes. Just sailing that win. 30 to 28 now Gerst gets deep and there's going to be a foul. Who are they going to call this one on? Kelly's talking to the official and that's who they're going to get it on. I think that might be his third and that's not good. Kelly needs to be on the floor. Jacob was 5, excuse me 4 of 5 in the first half it obviously makes them now 5 for 6. Grab for Belty and for Kail we'll see if this Christian offense can still score without Kail. Yeah, I I like to keep Kelly in there as long as you're behind if you get ahead then I take him out but Coach Slipsy going to go with this set of lineup right now. Van Ess drives right down and Samson took the charge. Great to assist him by Samson don't challenge him at the rim get yourself set and take the charge. Second follow there on Van Ess and here you'll see the replay he just went right into a good job of taking the charge there by Samson. Yeah, for Reagan always wants his players to take more charges. Hey and then Samson scores on this end. I believe that's his first basket of the night. He comes in averaging 5 a game Kevin Samson excuse me Nathan Samson drive by Stecker and there's a shot put up there by Stecker 34-30 just out to Samson he's feeling it blocked by Stecker cleared by Verveldi Here's Van Ess attacking again I was going to say Tendali looked like he walked but instead they're going to get Stecker with the walk. Christian's got to capitalize on that they got Kale Kale in the bench that could have made it a one-position game and another turnover. It was about the 6-20 mark when Kelly got that follow let's see what happened since then oh and a bad pass lots of turnovers tonight I think both teams a little unexperienced both teams only start at one senior I know Christian plays a couple more turnovers than the Lutheran does but a lot of young guys out there very good point there's a shot attempt miss and a lot of battling and if I was an official I'd probably let them just battle there wasn't a lot of I mean you're going to have some contact a lot of tipping around no one really had control of the ball you just got to let and there was no shoving or pushing or taking advantage of that situation and I don't blame them 4-39 trying to get to the basket could close out deep by Christian but a 3 Vinny hits another 3 big hit by Vinny there needed it confidence booster we'll see if we can get another one soon good take and they're going to call him on the travel I'll tell you that 3-point shot is a nice weapon fill a 4-point game to a 7-point game well Lutheran went small again and it's good in bed but when they're hitting their 3's it's good because they have 5 guys that can shoot it and it's going to make Christian extend and then Juris gets him with a pump fake he's going to take him right to the hoop and he can finish with contact so I think it's a great weapon for Lutheran to have yeah seems real tight 34-30 I think that 3 and it's a 7-point lead there's some of our young fans here tonight maybe someday they'll be playing out there and maybe Phil you'll be doing the announcing here when Marty and I are long gone for those you don't know weren't here in the opening Mike Martin's in Arizona where it's a lot warmer than here Phil Leipholm joining me Richard on our cameras and Kerry is spinning the dials in the truck with the heater on they make a pretty mean walking taco here as well and there's a nice layup by Nathan Sampson as our crew took advantage of them tacos is what we're talking about taco is a basket for Sampson nice drive to the basket there by Christian Stekker on the put back miss going to be a held ball here and this one's going to go to Lutheran it was a 4-point game when Caleb Kelly went out Phil it's been almost 3 minutes and Kelly still on the bench with that third foul you know if I'm a coach I don't want the game to get away so you've got to have your best player out there you've got to put Caleb Kelly maybe to 150 then take him up for another quarter and they have a good push now because right now they can't buy a basket they're getting close they're getting a lot of contact on their shots they just can't finish well they're going to call an elbow foul or some sort some type of technical I believe was called on Graham Verveldi and that's why Jerus is shooting free throws and now it's 11-point game Christian's frustrated they can't get a basket to go officials maybe not calling it their way but you can't have that right now now it's an 11-point game because of fouls and free throws made by Lutheran yeah and it's a 5-1 free throw ratio so far Christian with 5 personals including their best player with 3 and the game is getting away Jerus is going to try to attack good close out D by Christian try to kick it out they're going to call a walk on Pingle so many travels today too and here comes Caleb Kelly he was out for almost 3 minutes went out to 6-20 they were down by 4 he reenters down 11 I think it's a good decision now they got Pingle on Kelly you want Kelly to be aggressive but you know guys like Sampson they're going to try to get a charge and get Kelly his fourth he's got to be smart especially on defensively don't have Kelly guard Jerus, he's got to guard somebody else good point Phil Christian's got to find someone that's willing to shoot the basket ball there's Stecker short but he gets the crawl roll right over the top you got to look at Lutheran they have 3 guys on Kelly when he gets that ball on the post good decision to kick that out good knock down by the Stecker he got his second basket of the quarter and there's a pick away by Verveldi and we got a strum as Marty used to call it another held ball I feel like I'm in a fifth grade game with all the held balls all the held balls and all the travels that's true been a few of them as well Jerus to Jerus this is the senior Jerus Jacob can't find a reign with that 3 rebound Hendricks Kelly going to the basket I don't know if Verveldi was ready for it shoot misses Stecker with the hustle again number 10 is all over the place here's a breakout 301 just like at Lutheran High I think it made Pingle good passing by Lutheran there Jake Jerus Samson even leading the break there you don't see that every day it's a very well run 3 on 1 attack by Ben S score it 43-34 is the score Jerus deep and he went right at Noah Hendricks the 5-11 Junior Jake's got the size on him and Hendricks knows Jake Jerus is a great shooter he's got to play up on him Jake Jerus recognizes back door cut and good find by the wing player this is the 11th free throw attempt for Jerus he's only missed one so far Lutheran leads the lead with Ozaki and Howard's Grove all at 5-1 Cedar Grove is 5-2 and sorry about that I just jinxed you there 44-34 Minnan 18 Cedar Grove excuse me Shmoygan Christian is 7th in the league deep 3 for Ben S and now that close it to a 7 point game no that's not that can't be right yes it is I'll tell you Christian always seems to come back in the last 2 minutes of every quarter just when you think they're done yeah especially at home here they get that energy the crowd's going to carry them and we'll see what they can do in the last 50 seconds look at Ben S right to the rack they're going to get an early foul Justin Landgraf who hasn't seen much action tonight I believe we'll pick up that foul check that I'm going to get it on Pingle here's Ben S attacking again we're under 40 seconds the left hander Wilkie misses and we're going to get a foul I think this is going to be on Ben S and with that that's foul number 7 so we're going to have bonus free throws and that is Ben S's third foul now he's just not a smart foul 35 seconds left underneath you're on the hoop you don't really have to go for it I know you get a lot of offensive rebounds against Lutheran but you don't want them at the 3-3 line 7 point game and Landgraf gets to get a basket not a basket but a point we'll call it gets the second one off the bonus and how about that 2 for him Justin Landgraf the junior Ben S just too quick for him but that's just the third team foul on Cheboygan Lutheran and coach for Hagen say hey gave him some space as I mentioned though that's the only third team foul on Lutheran so Christian's a ways from the bonus smart foul away from the hoop I mean better than letting him go right down the lane while he parted the C there as Hendricks scores 15 seconds left Lutheran he thought was going to pull it out but instead another foul on Christian this one's going to go out on Wilkie and it sends Jacob Jerse right back to the free throw line Cheboygan Christian has attempted I have 2 free throws and there's a miss by Jerse another turnover 4 3 2 1 well at the end of 3 quarters of play it's 46 to 39 a healthy diet and plenty of exercise are keys to success both on and off the ice teaching kids how to eat right will give

I'm Chris right along with Phil Leipholm and they're going to get a follow on Jerse as they go inside to Chris Tendalli I wish Christian would do a lot more of that Phil Christian the second half has really got away from that I know they're driving a lot more but they really got to start pounding a more good finish though very good finish there this point of the half there for Stecker and just like that it's a 5 point game this is a toy different ball game if Christian doesn't have all these follows in both halves just putting Luther into the line and that's going to be easy for Luther because they don't miss many three throws well Jacob Jerse not a great shooting night but he spent a lot of time on the free throw line he does have 15 points he is averaging 22 we mentioned before 31st in a state in scoring and this is just practice for him shooting at through their line over 10 times this game it's too easy for him 7 point lead for Luther in 748 in the game and Stecker going right down Main Street they're going to get a follow on top and I'll tell you the defense first half it's kind of disappeared here in the second half because there should never be a lane like that Phil I've noticed that with Christian too Jerse can get whatever he wants off the dribble and I'm surprised by that they're clamping down on him like he's going to shoot a lot of threes he hasn't been doing that he's been doing that all game he's been taking to the hoop they got to start guarding him here's Tendali wide open underneath but instead Van Asst attacks the basket and there's another foul I thought they're going to call that Tendali who's going to stay here they're going to call this one on Jacob Berg it's the last foul I think it's Jacob Berg Jacob has them in the game much today Tendali deep in we've seen that twice now a nice little lob for that and it's now 43 they went right at Carl Berg there down low he's got some foul trouble but goodness isn't by Christian and there's a pick by Wilkie who's going to attack Jerse pass to Stekker Stekker with eight points here in the half and it's a three point game Jerse is attacking misses gets his own rebound he shoots it up and misses Christian with a chance to tie with a three or pull with a one with a basket and there's a shot by Van Asst he'll be shooting free throws you can see the youth of Jerse there going stronger the hoop good take could have been a call he gets his own offensive rebound tries to go back up with it gotta get a little stronger to play in the CLC down here with the big boys Van Asst just attempting the first free throw attempt of the second half for Christian and he misses the first gotta have in a close game gotta make those three throws he makes one of two to cut the deficit to one so a big run here by Lutheran almost a turn over by Lutheran butch for Hagen asking for a reach and he's going to get it going to get that foul on Stekker his fourth big second half for Stekker four fouls you can't take him out now but you almost have to with four Jerse misses that first one but not a bad substitution taking out Stekker putting in Kelly we haven't really talked about Kelly much as second half with the foul trouble he's gotta get going yeah he's only got one basket he scored the first basket of the half and he hasn't scored since I agree he's gonna have to do defensively if Christian's gonna get over the top and again the lanes open up Tendalli in his height makes an easy basket Lutheran's picking up way so high and then they're blowing right by him that makes the easy dump down and it's a one point game it was 46-39 at the half and Jerse gets fouled on a three by Wilkie Jerse has been doing that for a while he knows how to get that call a 10-3 run for Christian here in the quarter in the first minute and Jerse hits the first one I mentioned that Christian is averaging 16 points in the fourth quarter that's their best quarter of the year but Lutheran's best quarter is a 4-2 they're averaging 19 as Jerse is getting to shoot three here because he was fouled on a three point attempt it's good to see young Lutheran team close out game so their fourth quarter being their best quarter that's good for them he makes all three and all of a sudden a one possession game becomes a two pass possession game Jerse now with 21 points oh and there's another charge are they gonna call the reach before they are and we're gonna be here a while because there's a lot of fouls a lot of fouls, a lot of three throws type games not surprised by that though with this rivalry 6-0-1 left both teams in the bonus Van As had a one for two trips not too long ago hits the first one here and misses the second we're gonna go to the other end to shoot three throws pack your bags boys and girls we might be here for a while and hopefully there's some JV players left that could possibly come in because we might start losing guys fill Christian's been really having to go to their bench with all these fouls and I mean look they have nine guys on the team I know Lutheran maybe not as deep as Christian but at least they have more bodies to get up there Samson's misses the first Lutheran's played everybody with two players tonight surprised by Verhagen usually doesn't get that many subs out there two misses for Samson and here's Kelly who we mentioned before has not scored since the first basket of the half he wants to shoot we're gonna get another reach Samson wants to charge he wants another foul on Kelly we'll see if he can get one that foul went on Josh Pingle Kelly now shooting hits the first his 11th point of the ball game that's a matchup they won Christian Kelly taking it on Pingle he's just gonna watch out for Samson taking that charge hits both free throws a timeout 30 second timeout for Christian I believe that's their second a lot of time left you gotta think both coaches are saying play defense with your feet and your body and not your hands because the last couple of minutes there hasn't been much defense and if it is, it's been poor and you know coach books are saying that because they're defenders a lot of body when they're guarding jikters they can't have that anymore they can't have him at the line if they want to win this game they gotta foul someone else get that ball out of his hands a lot of ball game left 52-51 Lutheran a 13-point quarter in the first two minutes and 10 seconds for Christian they had 13 points in every quarter for their whole quarter for the first three Splitkerber not taking care of the rock too well there a wild shot thrown up there by Pingle here's chance for Christian they have not led since 13-10 but they do now 53-52 10-dolley scores deep and this Christian crowd backing them up now they've been pounding it to 10-dolley this quarter just what they needed to do and unfortunately for Christian another foul this one goes on Wilkie and jerseys back to the free throw line where he's spent most of the evening that got him to his average 22 and over and Lutheran back in front by one Lutheran gonna apply some type of zone now maybe to keep people out of the pain fill good strategy by Coach Wilhegan we'll see if they can get the ball down the logo see if Kelly can attack it and that's looking Kelly open three for Kelly and a two point lead Jared Jerse does not counter Kelly with the rebound Jared Jerse fours a little bit three point shots not really his game I think you can attack on Christian but they'll get the ball back and he hasn't scored in the second half either Phil a little more skip a little quicker passes that they want to beat this zone Tendali oh it would not go and there's a scrum on the floor Jerse got an elbow to the face the ball should belong to Lutheran for Veldi now coming in the game for Christian he'll come in for Colwitz ever since Kelly's got back in the game Christian's got back in the game big factor there for Christian good move by Coach Grubs he put them back in the game with three minutes left in the end of the third when he came in there down by eleven now they're up by a deuce Jerse again Splitty in and out wide open shot by Splitty looked like it was in falls out as Lutheran has yet to make a basket here in the fourth quarter they got all their points so far Lutheran from the free throw line Wild pass there by Christian if they want to win this game they got to hold those turnovers and you mentioned that Christian wants to win they got to take care of the ball much better that was not a good pass Jerse Pingle deep no good rebound get the bunny rebound Tendalli Kelly's hurt Kelly wasn't ready for that ball rifled on him by Tendalli but good defense by Christian they got the ball out of jig Jerse's hands made someone else shoot it Tendalli I believe stepped out of bounds they're going to give it to Lutheran but point blank range for Samson twice and he missed they get it right back to him Jerse looking at the three driving Wilkie with good live hands now they're going to get a foul I know those Christian fans did not like that call but the ball was poked out no travel by Jerse right no travel and then poke poked poked and finally got the poke for the foul and guess where Jerse is again back on the line double bonus hits the first Stecker in the game he comes in with four fouls Phil got to play smart got to watch his defense there you see the tail of the tape both teams in double bonus here on out Richard on camera up here Eric down below carrying the truck Phil Lightbaum along with Chris Wright and we're going to play the last three minutes with a tie ball game Tendalli at a chance there decides to give it up Verveldi Bingo time out Christian 58 56 I'll tell you what with that time out we're going to take a quick break it's 58 56 Christian okay why are you wearing that because we are going golfing I would except I got a lot of stuff I got to get done oh no no more to-do lists no more laundry we are going to go have fun I mean we've always wanted to learn how to play golf right so it's playtime okay what am I going to wear golf with five lessons from a PGA or LPGA instructor starting at only $99 go to getgolfready.com get ready to play what's at stake Lutheran's in first place five and one Christian in conference one and four Lutheran if they want to keep pace have got to come back and win this game an outstanding fourth quarter by Christian so far they put up 17 points already figure it out with this kryptonite got to get in the lane and howards random tough games for Lutheran they got to pull this one out if they really want to win this conference yep and you know these rivalry games anything happens just too much dribbling kicks it out a three-pointer good by Josh Pingel another country heard from 59-58 2-18 oh and a bad pass by Van Ness he thought Stekker was going to go to the basket Bill and then he Stekker stopped he didn't need to pick up his dribble there he's got to keep his dribble maybe go across over between the legs attack that hoop 59-58 2-10 left too long to hold the ball so we'll see and then extra carry that's a really good call because he hesitated dribble right in front of the official picked it up and go and again when you got kids a younger level that's a tough situation so Christian couldn't be able to attack now I wouldn't pick him up full because he can drive right by you with his quickness Pingel's going to have to move his feet that's Kelly Spott 60-59 by Kirst Jerse wow not a bad time to have your first three of the game and the first basket for Lutheran with a minute 37 because they've just been making free throws the whole quarter and what a time to get it Jacob Jerse Christian doubled the ball there I don't agree with it leaving Jerse open for three I know he hasn't hit any yet but that's a gutsy call there by the defenders Jerse makes a pair with that at point number 27 for Jacob Jerse Kelly has 18 he hasn't disappointed the Christian crowd minute 37 left both teams with an opportunity to get double bonus shots another bad throw I was a little surprised by the press with the lead fell but it worked I'm surprised with Graham I mean why do you pick it up he could have taken it there's no pressure on him there's just pressure on Kelly well if you're going to foul Christian you don't want to foul number three Jerse is getting deep there's Jerse back to his brother you're going to play good D here but don't foul number three good attempt by Stecher he didn't foul over the floor tonight and there's probably a good foul by Verveldi still a lot of time left you don't have to foul yet I think good thing that they did foul there Pingel maybe could miss one here still 114 left if he does make both you have enough time that you don't have to shoot a three Verveldi picked up foul number four everybody's in foul trouble and Pingel the first one in get some balls and Lutheran nothing but net tools the other side of the pillow well we'll keep it here as you can see both teams in double bonus fell a lot of time left though minute 14 you think that Lutheran's going to apply pressure again up court I think they should Christian really hasn't handled it all that well and if you're Lutheran and if Christian gets by if you're going to foul make sure they don't make the basket I would I was a little surprised coach for Hagan pressed before you know if you're going to just have working up the floor to take time off but the one thing you don't want is to be scrambling let Christian get an easy basket when you're winning and last time you got a turnover hopefully Christian take care of the ball here been back and forth in this quarter we mentioned before Christian started off down by seven in the quarter raced all the way to the lead Christian's fought back a big three by Pingel and a big three by Jurst we'll see if Lutheran takes away Kelly again I think they're going to double with Jurst and Pingel looks like they're leaving Graham open again Pingel's right up on Kelly right in his grill Kelly's going to attack and there's what you're going to do is you're going to get a foul I don't think I would have been guarding them that tight now you get time at the free throw line to make free throws with the clock stop a lot of time left sixty three seconds as a matter of fact as Kelly makes his free throw and the senior con dumped that second one in sixty four sixty two under second sixty seconds there's your guy you want to follow right there Samson bloody Pingel just made a couple you don't maybe want to follow him maybe I'd follow the freshman not him him almost a pick by Revelli in those long arms finally Van Ess with the foul and they're going to go with Pingel back at the line good thing is you know with double bonus even if you missed the first you get the chance at the second the pressure is kind of off like it was a bonus I think if they're only up by one there'd be that pressure if you'd still miss but Pingel's usually a good free throw shooter and you can see tonight hitting them in pressure thirty six seconds left Pingel makes it a four point game Luther in a prime pressure Tendali doesn't want it out here they get it to Van Ess twenty eight seconds down four Kelly looking to attack Kelly getting triple teamed deep three goal for Stecker time out Christian the basket didn't want it and then it fell back again that ricocheted straight up in the air and then fell back through that touched every part of the rim there I don't know how that went down Jacob Stecker from deep hits a three watch this out and in he almost caught that ball out of bounds he was so deep is 11th excuse me 11th point of the game pose within one how many guys are going to be on jurors on this inbounds four or five if I'm Christian I would rather have somebody else catch it to follow them so I would play him I double him and whoever catches the ball I'd follow right away put the pressure on was ever going to make the free throw if your coach for Hagan it's your goal to set up a play to get your best free throw shooters to the ball so if it's not your obvious Pingel because he just was there sixteen seconds there you see nice shot by Eric for splitting here he's got to get that ball in and Lutheran does have time out Christian I believe has won there's the freshman and he does get followed you know you got to get it back the smart play would get it back to your brother quickly there now you as a freshman have to step up there and make a couple free throws that was foul number five on Graham Vervelli so he is done awesome going to come in with his height for the rebound I believe Christian has one time out remaining and I think Lutheran has four Hagan does not use his time out so good to have him now but Alson checked in for Christian he doesn't mind shooting through just watch out for him calm and cool but he misses you know he walked away before he fouled through here's the big one to give you a one two point lead instead of a one point lead and he sinks it one out of two trip makes it a two point game here's Kelly kicks it out to Wilkie bingo six five four three shot is up and just short we're going extra time Joe Wilkie the left Alexander makes a little jump shot and we're playing bonus basketball what a decision by Kale Kelly he's been hot all second half he gives it to Joe Wilkie who that was his first field goal made the entire game the entire game I'm just going to say that gotta trust your teammates knock it down send it to OT while a big shot by Jacob Stecker with a three and then a two pointer by Wilkie when everybody in the whole ballpark here thought that Kelly was going to take it I thought that was a good comment you made Phil it was about seconds six seconds left on the clock when it went through coach for Hagen decided to let it play out and I'll tell you that shot by Jared Jers was about an inch too short yeah I know I think he had a couple of guys in front of him I don't think his brother was there but I think he had a couple of guys in front of him to get a better shot but that one almost went in a 28 point quarter for Shavoygan Christian you see Kale Kelly, Jake Jers they like this crunch time overtime senior year for both of them they're both tipping off against each other 23 point that's not right and Christian gets the first chance as he travels with another turnover Phil you gotta take care of the ball too many times in one game it just well now nerves might be kicking in as well 21 point quarter for Luther about 28 point quarter for Christian Kelly with his three fouls on Jers how much is he going to give, going to get traveled yeah good call Kelly uses body there not his hands you see that's going to make the difference for the ref not to call it, good defense and I thought Jers traveled I'm sure he didn't think so though Tendali to Kelly Kelly going to attack 333 left in overtime Kelly going in Bingo has Christian strike first 69 67 Jacob Jers for three too much space and the two senior leaders take charge in overtime and we're going to charge by Stecker I believe that is and if it is, that's his fifth good take by Sampson but if you're Stecker you got to get that all quicker you had a man on the left wing cutting you got to pass it sooner second Christian player to follow out 302 in overtime which has been an exciting fourth quarter in overtime and Jers traveled right into a bad spot but fortunately for Lutheran they get to keep the ball you see Christian do that in the fourth quarter they bring that second guy over the trap right behind Jers or whoever else I think that's a great double team and a lot of good pressure little difficulty for Lutheran getting it in finally get it to Pingle down to Sampson score it missed some earlier but that one he put in 72-69 still one possession game 240 left in OT great pass by Pingle that penetrate and dish Ben S Foul almost a chance for a three-point game play and a tie they're going to get Jared Jers on that foul just a second fill Lutheran really doesn't have anyone that to worry about getting followed out so Christian 72-70 trying to pull within one and Ben S those baskets are tough seen a lot of balls roll out that one I thought was down this is Pingle throws it away here comes Kelly kick over to Wilkie for three no the hero of the regulation almost hit a big three Jers on the breakout down to Sampson little short Kelly wide open and he finishes like that but Kelly found the opening Kelly with 24 points to lead Christian to tie it up here is Jacob Jers he's got 30 looking to add over here my three throw category Jers that one hangs in there 74-72 Jers was thinking about a double backs off Tendale no rebound Jared Jers over to Jacob minute and a half Lutheran with the ball and the lead Jers driving Pingle was thinking about he chose the better decision to kick it out Jers kicks it down to Sampson can't finish tip no good Tendale with the rebound and he's followed by Jacob Jers it's a four point swing right there missed the layup and now potentially two more points for Christian at the line and Jacob Jers has four fouls it would be big if this game gets extended and Tendale sinks it there for Tendale it's a big one Sampson out we haven't seen Vinny for a long time you gotta wonder this is a small line there for Lutheran there's an offensive rebound and a foul on Jers missed Christian feels small line up you don't box out long rebound and now Van S with a chance to take the lead for Christian puts it in for Ty minute oh nine left missed a second Tendale another rebound and another chance to take the lead they got the foul they believe on the wrong guy they're both there I don't know who is on but of course Jers is gonna make his case it was on the other Jers see if the official changes the call he doesn't I don't know I'd have to see the replay they're both on top of them there for the rebound but of course we don't know who followed right game by Jake Jers though Tendale can't make the free throw and I'll tell you that's the fourth missed free throw of overtime by Christian watch out for another offensive rebound baby make it four in a row it looks long but it's good Christian takes the lead 75 to 74 but more importantly Jacob Jers has followed out of the ball game and Lutheran's gonna have to have someone else step up Phil Jake Jers doesn't just make threes he doesn't just score every basket he penetrates you see he can get to the hoop and dish it to guys like Sampson they just need to finish it now without Jake they're really at a loss yeah and you mentioned that Lutheran is really young and basically now you have soft moors and freshmen on the floor to take charge of the first big rivalry game like this but who knows we saw Joe Wilkie hit a shot be a hero so somebody for Lutheran's gonna have to step up I know Montazella Vinny just got in there hasn't really made a basket in a while but you never know he can get it hot split Gerber I think Jers could penetrate kick out and hit a big three pointer put the pressure on Christian well Gerber Jers is averaging 12 points a game but he's averaging 11 points a game it's not like they're real soft but with the lead Christian also gonna apply some pressure here which I think is interesting obviously Jers is gonna try to get it and a very just a token defense there Christian does not need to follow there's a minute six left Wilkie penetrate down that one he's missed some before but every time you need a big bucket he seems to get it and now they have the lead Kelly just going to work and I don't think that Kelly's picked up that fourth follow at all since way back at the excuse me, 6-20 mark of quarter number three he still has three follow I've been watching him and he's still Jers when he was in just using a lot of body, not hands as he makes the through-thriller tie of the game up at 76 his 25th point oh another one rolls out all tied at 76 no time to panic for either team Lutheran doesn't have to go real quick Wilkie not close enough to get a five second call Jared Jers just dribbling around almost double dribbled Samson, excuse me Pingle we're down to 22 seconds here he goes, Pingle and he's bombed on a ticky tack but they've been calling all those still they've been calling that even in the fourth quarter real early calls because I think they know Christian wants a follow but right there you got to let him play you're tied so you don't have you're just putting a guy on a free throw line gonna come down to who makes free throws and doesn't the whole lane though is open up there so maybe it was that was good but it went in where to hide you here so you can really see angles pretty well here and that one looked a little deep but he's been pretty clutching making those free throws and missed that one and Van S with it and we're on a one point game 16 seconds left now Main Street then Dolly puts it in with the lead we're down to nine seconds left time out Christian, Chris Tendalli deep into pulse just turned around filled and bounced it off the backboard I know there wasn't a lot of time left but Kailo Killie did touch the ball of that possession that surprises me and who found him on that one Hendricks found Tendalli on that one and his maker ability just got in there and Tendalli with a great finish well they put some time back on the clock there's now 10 seconds even Christian will be out of time out we are on an odd number be interested to see if there's any contact officials called a lot of really close good shot there by Eric you gotta think they're gonna want jerse or I don't know pingle attack somebody maybe get the foul but I don't know maybe a smart decision by Coach Fupps at a call time out there there was only six seconds left when they got the inbound in you might just want him to play that well and coach for Hagen I think wanted a call time out that time Christian can do here defensively make sure nothing deep Christian gonna let Lutheran catch it in front which you know I would try to get one guy up to slow them up a little bit up the floor so they don't get to do what they want to there's too much time 10 seconds there's a lot of time to get that ball they're gonna get an easy shot in here here we go here's jerse he's driving and we got a time out by coach for Hagen I'm not so sure about that one you just took off three seconds you have to get the ball in that's something set they're asking where they're gonna get the ball I know coach for Hagen has a lot of good plays drawn up on that sideline there to get quick scores I think he's drawn up another one right now we'll see if Christian can defend it Michael also comes in the game they put a bigger guy out there for anything you know if there's any penetration deep or so Lutheran doesn't get a second shot you put in your 6'5 kid nice decision there by coach Flippsy I think you've got to place Elsam on the ball take away a lot of options with his length good decision by Flippsy I don't know if I would have had Lutheran call time here because sometimes you're gonna end up going backwards when you want to go forward I agree with that and you are a shorter team they're gonna put the ball nope yep just as you said they're gonna put nobody on the inbound pass which surprised me there's Tingle 5, 4, 3 no shot no shot game over Christian wins well Phil thanks for coming I'm gonna try to get into the interview you did a wonderful job tonight thanks for joining us thanks for having me it was fun back at school you saw a great game Phil thank you 78-77 Christian I'm gonna see if I

internet people's lives would be changed connect today, change your tomorrow having victory for you guys I'll tell you what you got 13 points in the first quarter 13 points in the second quarter 13 points in the third quarter 28 points in the fourth quarter yeah, I think it's just we're in the game the whole time we want to stay with them the entire game and when we came into the fourth quarter knowing we weren't in it, we just turned it on as a team it wasn't any individual effort it was pretty even throughout the entire game defensively and offensively exactly, a kid like Joe Wilkie had made a basket all game I mean, everybody in the house he was gonna shoot the ball, pass it the left hander puts it in there so a lot of unsun heroes is exactly right pretty much all of Christmas break missed all practices and it's here for one practice it came here, did his job and he made a big shot I guess it's just a big team victory well, I'll tell you what it seemed like you guys, like you said, just kind of hung around hung around and a little bit of free throw are follow trouble there and so you had to rely on other teams and a team effort and did you have a plan going in tonight to maybe use your height a little bit against a little bit of smaller Lutheran team a little bit, we more just we have a very good big guy, Chris is very good and we kind of, we knew we would have a mismatch we wanted to get it down low as much as we could but I mean if it wasn't there then we just tried playing through the rest of our team and getting so a little bit but it wasn't like our main game plan so what do you think of these rivalry games? They're awesome I mean I'm a sophomore so this is my first time playing and this was amazing just being in a ball gym like this just with a fan's roar and it was just awesome. Well congratulations to you. Senior senior and I had to feel nice. Yeah I did it was awesome. And again as I mentioned before a complete team effort and things. I gotta admit Coach Flipsy took you out, you had that third foul with 6-20 and you guys were down by 4, you went down to 11 I kind of questioned him a little bit, keeping you on a bench for so long, you never picked up a foul after that and then you got like 15 points from the rest of the way and helped your team out and just to stay out of foul trouble was probably key for you. Yeah it was well I guarded JJ the whole game and he's an awesome player. It's hard to guard him because he's got a shot and he's got he can take it to the basket too so I give him props but yeah I think, I don't know just staying out of foul trouble was big and key but I trust the coach in bringing me out so awesome game for us too. Yeah it was an awesome game and it was very exciting game and as I mentioned before he got team efforts from everybody there and I don't know how many baskets for both end it seemed like the ball was going in and it would pop out and then I'll tell you what that I don't remember who hit the 3 over there I think Stecker hit the 3 to bounce straight up in the air weird rolls tonight too. Yeah we were getting a bunch of weird things but our guys were just going hard we were rebounding more than normal too so I think it was just a battle the whole way. Well I know like I said for you and Jacob you played against each other for a number of years and I saw you on a football field and I didn't get to talk to you but I tell you what you ran a hard ball this fall too but carrying it over to the basketball season let's talk about one more thing here you guys kind of struggled early on I think there's a little bit of high expectations kind of win like this can maybe project you to get move up a little bit in the standings. Yeah I think early on in season we haven't been doing well I know we have a great team and all of our guys just work really hard and I mean we were projected to be top in the conference and we ended up kind of starting off not strong so I think this one was just big for all of us just to get our hopes up and hopefully we can keep the ball rolling.
