 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Sheboygan County High School Boys Basketball. We are here at Cedarburg today, Cedarburg High School, where the Kohler Blue Bombers will be taking on the Sheboygan County Christian High School Eagles in WIAA tournament action. Both teams have previously defeated two other teams and now meet here in a regional final. Kohler is at 12 and 10 overall. They beat Elkart and Destiny to get here and Christian Wolfe, there's their 6 foot 10 center is the man that's leading them. He's had over 70 points in the last two games scoring 41 against Elkart, Elkart and 29 against Destiny. Christian is 18 and four. They beat Masai Institute in a pretty easy game 84 to 21 and then beat Living Weird Lutheran, 54 to 45. They are not overly dominated by anyone, they play a good team ball, they are led by two sophomores, Lee Veldtkamp and Joe Meriding. The winner of this game plays the winner of the Randolph Oshkosh Lords and that game will be played next week Friday.

Kohler has been playing wonderful in the pole season here. And so we're ready for a great game. Jumping center for the Eagles will be the sophomore, Joel Meerdink. And for the Blue Bombers, it will be Christian Wolfe. Teams greet each other at center court. Referees getting everything settled. And we're just about ready to start this contest. It was a bad tip. And Joel Meerdink caught the ball. And because he did that, in essence, it goes over to the Bombers. Bokini in bones over to Riley. He sets it up, bringing it over the timeline. Backdoor to Wolfe, little long. And Brandon Simmons comes up with it over to Lee Velkamp. Lee Velkamp down the left-hand side of the court, back to the middle, over to Klopatec on the wing. Klopatec directing down into the corner to Simmons. Kohler has opened up in a 2-3 zone. Eagles are at this point pretty patient about attacking it and analyzing it.

Now they're in the middle to Mirdink, back out to Westerbake. Now a down-low to Simmons, guarded by Wolf, double-teamed by Bishop and Wolf. Looks like the Eagles are going to try to have to score from the outside in order to get anything on this.

Substitution, Stefanocek comes in for Bokini and Craig Erbstaser is in to the Kohler lineup also. Velkamp hits the second making the score six to two with four minutes left in the first quarter.

Velkamp getting instructions from the referee as to where he needs to be and what's the out of bounds line and the Eagles will inbound and Klopatik brings it up to face this Kohler zone over to Velkamp on the wing down the Simmons on the baseline back to Velkamp. Velkamp hesitates, he had an opening back in the mirroring who puts up a long shot from the free throw line. Velkamp comes racing in from the wing and gets the rebound he's stuck in the corner out to Westerbake and they settle it down again looking to penetrate into this Kohler zone. Velkamp out on the right wing down into the middle of Simmons, mirroring takes the dribble into the lane, thinks twice about it as he's confronted by Christian Wolf and the Eagles trying to probe this defense to find an opening. It's over to the wing to Westerbake down on the baseline to Simmons. Simmons skips over to Klopatik, Klopatik drives the middle, kicks out to Velkamp. Velkamp penetrates, kicks out to Klopatik and Klopatik brings it back around and resets it. The defense for Kohler gets an applause from their fans. Westerbake down the baseline, Wolf stops him there. Westerbake or mirroring at the free throw line. Westerbake now and it's kicked out of bounds by number 25, Craig Ayer, Stacer. Into the Eagle line up comes Zach Jensma and he replaces Brandon Simmons. Christian Wolf comes out and is replaced by Craig Bishop. There's 2-29 left in this first quarter and the score still remains 6-2. Westerbake gets the inbound, shoots a 3 and it's rebounded by Riley who then pushes it up the court and is guarded by Westerbake. He penetrates the middle, puts his shoulders down and draws the foul from Joe Westerbake. There's a blocking foul by Westerbake. That's his first personal and the Christian Eagles second team foul.

Number 13, Bokini for Ferrini and Christian Wolf comes back in for Craig Herbstacer. Christian in bounding underneath Kohler basket and Klopatec brings the ball up the court. Facing a little bit of pressure in this 1-2-2 kind of half court pressure. Bokini playing the very top and trying to make ball reversal hard for the Eagles. Westerbake down into the corner to Velkamp back to Westerbake over to Klopatec. Westerbake spots up for a 3, lets it go and hits it. Pressure again. Riley pushes the ball up the floor. Handles the ball really nice. He's their point guard. Back into the corner to Riley, back into Wolf and Mirdink picks up the foul. He's got a tough challenge today handling Christian Wolf. He's playing behind him right now, not fronting the big man and he picked it up, picked the foul up. That's his first, the Christian Eagles third team. Into the, into the Eagle lineup is Matt Sizemore for Joel Mirdink and Carl Dubois comes in for Nate Klopatec. Eagles come back in their main demand. Over to Bokini, skips it over to Stefanczek who puts up the shot as long as Christian Wolf with a rebound. Christian out of control and it looks like Christian Wolf picked up an offensive foul going to the basket. Christian substitutions, another sophomore coming into the lineup. Andrew Stecker and into the lineup comes Brandon Simmons back in. That was Christian Wolf's first foul and Kohler's second team foul. Dubois handling the point guard duties. It looks like Kohler is playing like a triangle in two and a kick by the Kohler player. Bokini gives the ball back to the Eagles. Eagles will inbound on the baseline underneath their basket. It's a man-to-man by Kohler right now. Brandon Simmons to inbound. He's looking, throws it long over to Stecker. Sophomore has Stefanczek on him. Junior Dubois penetrates, hits it over to, over to Jensmo who hits another beautiful arching three. And at the buzzer, Kohler just about lost the ball. It is at the end of the first quarter, Shabuigan County Christian High School leading the Kohler Blue Bombers 15-2. Kohler Blue Bombers really struggled in his first quarter trying to handle the press and trying to get any decent shot. Christian has played some solid defense and has done a nice job of containing Wolf at this point. Well it'll be interesting to see how they come out into the second quarter what adjustments each team is going to make. And it looks like it will be Eagles' ball as we start the second quarter. For the Blue Bombers for the second quarter, number 13 Douglas Bocchini, number 15 Matt Riley, number 35 Craig Bishop, number 45 Christian Wolf and starting for the Blue Bombers is number 23 Ryan Stefanczek. Starting for the Eagles is Lee Velkamp inboning to Karl Dubois. Andrew Stecker is number 20 looking to play the wing. Matt Sizemore is at the center position and Brandon Simmons is playing on the baseline. Kohler opens up in a man-to-man. Sizemore is left alone up at the top. Christian runs their little weave. Dubois pulls up for a shot misses but Simmons right there with a rebound. Christian resets, Velkamp goes baseline draws the double team. Simmons looking for a shot flips it over to Dubois. Dubois looking to penetrate. He flips it back to Stecker. Stecker lines it up for three shoots and comes up short. Rebound by number 35 Craig Bishop but on an outlet the Kohler Blue Bombers turn the ball over again and it'll be Christian Hybe basketball. Karl Dubois brings up the ball. Karl is a foreign exchange student here at Christian Hybe. Has done a nice job for the Eagles this past year. Handles the ball well. He plays pretty much a true point card. Simmons penetrates baseline, kicks to Stecker who cuts down the middle and misses. Simmons back with a rebound, kicks it out to Dubois who is touched by Riley and Riley draws the foul on Dubois. That is Pat Riley's first foul and the Kohler Blue Bombers' third team foul. Branded Simmons to inbound on the sideline for the Eagles. Simmons looks down but then gives it up at midcourt to Dubois. Dubois dribbles to the right hand side. Simmons eyes it up, kicks back out to Seismore left all alone not a threat to shoot from there. Sets a screen and pick and roll for Stecker, kicks it over to Dubois. He lines it up and lets it fly. Off on that shot. Rebound by Bishop who gives it over to Riley and Riley brings the ball up, covered by Dubois. Brings it over to Christian Wolf, guarded by Seismore and Velkamp. Pulls up short. Eagles can't rebound and diving out of bounds is Lee Velkamp and Brandon Simmons and the Eagles come with a substitution. Joe Mearning for Matt Seismore and Nathan Klopatik in for Carl Dubois. The Kohler Blue Bombers will be inbounding underneath their basket. Wolf pulls hard but they kick it back to the weak side corner for number 23, Ryan Stepancek who hits a beautiful three and the score is now 15-5. Kohler Blue Bombers draw first blood here in the second quarter. Nate Klopatik running the offense, kicks it over to Stecker, Stecker over to Simmons. Over to Mearning at the top, ball reversal over to Stecker, pick and roll. Stecker down the middle, kicks to Simmons. Simmons goes up along the baseline and kisses it off the glass for a nice two. Eagles pressuring again to get it back into the middle to Christian Wolf and Riley brings the ball up the court, guarded closely by Klopatik and he brings it down the middle, set a screen by Christian Wolf. Riley stole the ball, Wolf at the elbow, goes to the free-throwing, head and shoulder fake, puts the shot up long, tries to get the rebound, Klopatik comes down with it, he throws it down to Stecker on a break away and it's tipped out of his hands. Great hustle play by Doug Bokini and taps it out of bounds, the Eagles have to reset. Bokini just prevented a lay-up attempt by the Eagles. Lee Velkamp inbounding goes over to Simmons, Simmons size it up, guarded by Bishop, over to Mearning, guarded by Wolf, into the corner to Velkamp, guarded by Bokini. He gets it over to Mearning, who steps back behind the three, lets it go and hits it. Joe Mearning has that range, he's hit quite a few threes for Christian this past year. Stefanczek dumps it into Wolf and it is a foul call against Joe Mearning who just picked up his second foul and Mearning isn't happy with it. That is Christian High's fourth team foul and that quickly causes Brett Flippsy to do some sub, Joe Westerbake comes in for Andrew Stecker and Matt Sizemore is coming in for the sophomore, Joe Mearning. Christian Wolf to inbound for the blue bombers underneath their basket, guarded by Matt Sizemore, he dumps it into Riley, back into Wolf on the block, Velkamp tries to double team and Wolf picks up the foul. I'm not exactly sure who that's on, but he's going to be shooting too. It's on Matt Sizemore, the 6-4 junior for Christian. This is going to be a concern for the Eagles. Wolf is a tremendous post player, great footwork, handles the ball well, likes to get it into the low post and he's a very good shooter. He hits the first one, making the score Christian 20, Kohler 6. Christian Wolf hits the second free throw and the score is 20-7. Klopatik looks over to the bench for instructions, he brings it up over half court. Kohler is still in their man-to-man defense, we Velkamp goes back door but goes over to Wolff or goes over to Westerbake, Westerbake down or Simmons down along the baseline, tried to put up a shot and was blocked by Christian Wolf. Klopatik to go baseline but he thinks better of it and brings it back all closely guarded by Riley into Velkamp guarded by Bokini and Lee Velkamp sets it back up, brings it to Klopatik. Guarded closely by Riley, the Eagles trying to set their offense, popped out to Sizemore, not even guarded by Wolf. Westerbake comes around but Christian steps out on that one, Velkamp down the baseline, skip over to Westerbake not a good pass, Simmons with a dribble and shot a little long and it goes up over the back of the board and the ball is turned over to the Kohler Blue Bombers. Couple substitutions for the Eagles, back into the lineup is Zach Jensma and he comes in for Brandon Simmons and Luke Weir, the junior number 22 comes in for Lee Velkamp. Full court pressure by the Eagles, he dumps it into Christian Wolf, he dribbles up the floor, takes the pressure off, Sizemore doesn't guard him closely but gets him once he gets over half court. Klopatik closely guards Riley and Riley dribbling, kicks over to Stefanczyk. Stefanczyk dribbles baseline guarded by Weir, drops to Wolf, Wolf slashes through the middle and lays it up off the glass and puts it in, making the score 20-9. There's 335 left here in the second period with Christian up 20-9. Ball goes down into the corner to Zach Jensma looking over to see who he can get the ball to, gets it to Sizemore who gets it to Klopatik, Klopatik stops and pops behind the three and buries the three. Christian's still putting on some pressure but they drop it into Wolf who easily beats Christian Defender across the timeline over to Riley, back in the corner to Stefanczyk, skip over to Wolf who squares it up, nice little 12-foot jumper and buries it with an assist from Stefanczyk. Klopatik brings the ball over for Christian into Westerbake closely guarded by Stefanczyk over to Weir guarded by Bokini. We're looking it over and swings it over to Westerbake, Westerbake dribbling. Westerbake got the ball stolen but Kohler turned it over as Riley fell trying to get out into the passing lane for a breakaway and Klopatik controls the ball and runs the offense over to Westerbake, back to Klopatik in the corner or onto the wing to Jensma. Jensma drives baseline, got trapped there, skips over into the corner to Klopatik over to Weir. Weir heads to the free-throw line, shoots his block by Bokini and it's a breakaway by Stefanczyk guarded by Westerbake but he finishes with a layup and that gives a little bit of life here to Kohler. Score is now 23-13. Eagle's struggling against this man-to-man. Kohler has tightened up their defense and has done a steal by Riley, bad pass by Westerbake and in with a left-hand misses, Bokini or Stefanczyk puts it back up, tips it over to Riley and back to Bishup and Bishup hits a nice little bunny shot and it is 23-15. Christian a little rattle and Brett Flipsy takes the time out. That brings this Kohler fans to their feet. Kohler not showing any quit in them. They're doing a tremendous job of putting some pressure over playing the passing lanes and making some great steals and have probably scored the last six or seven points here in this quarter. There's a minute 37 left until halftime in first half and at this point the Eagles still lead the blue bombers 23-15. So they come out of the timeout. Kohler players are Riley, Perini, Herb Stacer, Bokini and Wolfe and for the Eagles it's Sveldkamp, Stecker, Topatik, Weir and Sizemore. Stecker dribbles in, tries the backdoor pass, it's tipped, it's stolen by Perini who gets it over to Herb Stacer who calls over Riley to take the ball, their ball handler and he is harassed by Topatik and they call the offensive foul on Pat Riley. That's Riley's second personal. Kohler blue bombers fourth team. Neither team is close to the bonus as of yet. Luke Weir's got the ball in the wing, looks the offense over, passes over to Sizemore at the top as the Eagles try to reverse the ball. Stecker now with the ball dribbling the middle, dumb stone to Sizemore who overlays. It's a beautiful pass by Stecker but Sizemore I think was a little bit intimidated by Christian Wolfe who can do that to you at 6-10. Riley now again brings the ball over to half, hits Wolfe in the middle, Christian takes one dribble and hits a nice little jumper making the score 23-17 with 40 seconds left in the quarter. Topatik looking over to coach Flipsy to see what last play they want to run, brings it over to Stecker, looks like they're going to just wait because Kohler went into a zone right now. Topatik stands between the circles watching the time go down. He dribbles passes over to Stecker. Stecker looks it over back over to Topatik and they patiently wait for the time. We're down to 10 seconds now. Now the Eagles start to try to penetrate this back to Stecker over to Weir. Weir sizes it up, 2 seconds left. Velkamp skips over to Stecker who puts it up and they count it. Unbelievable, great awareness by the two sophomores. Lee Velkamp kicks it over to Stecker who just lets it fly and the referee counts it. Jeff Wolfe can't believe it and neither can the Kohler sideline but it isn't going to change what it is and so both teams head into the locker room with Christian leading 25-17 at the half. We welcome you back to the second half of this WIAA Division 4 regional game between the Kohler Blue Bombers and the Sheboygan County Christian High School Eagles. It was a very interesting half for both teams. I think in the first quarter the turnover problem really bit Kohler Blue Bombers and caused them only to have two points by the end of the quarter but then the turnover bug hit Christian and the Kohler Blue Bombers made a nice return and brought the score to 25-17 at halftime. Your scores for the first half for the Kohler Blue Bombers, Matt Riley with two, Ryan Stefanchek five, Craig Bishop with two and Christian Wolfe led the Kohler Blue Bombers in the first half with eight. For the Christian High Eagles, Nathan Kopatik had three, Brandon Simmons had two, Lee Veldkamp with two, Andrew Stekker with two, Joseph Westerbake with five, Zach Jensma with six and Joel Meredink with five. As we start the second half, Kohler Blue Bombers come out with the ball, Matt Riley takes it and is closely guarded by Kopatik and another charging foul by Riley as he pushed off and just cleared Kopatik out and that's the first turnover for the second half for the Kohler Blue Bombers. Kopatik brings the ball over half-court and is guarded by Riley into Veldkamp. They pass out to Meredink who attacks, there goes Kopatik with a shot, Veldkamp with a rebound put back and scores for the Christian High Eagles. Kohler quickly inbounds, Riley pushes the ball up the floor on the right hand side, dumps into Wolfe, Simmons comes over, gets knocked over and Wolfe puts in a nice little five-foot jump shot over Brandon Simmons and so we start this quarter fairly fast and furious. The ball goes into the corner to Simmons, back out to Meredink, guarded by Bishop, Veldkamp goes back door, Westerbake around the screen shoots a three, misses and it goes off of Bishop and the Eagles will keep the ball under their basket. Coming into the lineup right now for the Kohler Blue Bombers is number 23, Brian Stafontek and coming in for the Christian High Eagles is number 23, Zach Jensma who gets the ball, he replaces Brandon Simmons. Jensma closely guarded by Christian Wolfe gets it over to Nate Kopatik, Kopatik dribbles in and thinking that Jensma is going to go back door, Jensma stopped and the ball went out of bounds and the turnover is by the Eagles. Kohler to inbound underneath the Christian High basket, full court press by the Eagles, ball gets into Christian Wolfe, back over to Farini, back over to Bokini to Farini and then to Christian Wolfe who brings it up over half, closely guarded by Westerbake who brings it over to Stafontek, Stafontek running the offense at the top over to Bokini, Bokini guarded by Westerbake, kicks it over to Stafontek, down over to Farini and Farini puts it up and misses, Bishop with a rebound puts it back up, fight under the basket, Bishop again puts it back up, Belcamp battling Wolfe, Wolfe comes up with it, he goes down and the ball is in the corner, Farini throws it back out to Bokini and a mad scramble and Kohler comes out with it over to Stafontek guarded by Westerbakes, down into the corner to Bishop looking for Wolfe who's closely guarded, he fumbles, goes to the floor over to Stafontek, down the lane he loses the ball to Westerbake, Westerbake down the middle, Farini hustling down, Westerbake with a reverse misses it, battle for the ball off of Westerbake and it goes to the Kohler blue bombers, Farini to inbound gets it over to Bokini, Bokini dribbles up trapped by Westerbake and Klopatek who falls out of bounds, 23 goes up for the shot, he's blocked by both Westerbake or by Mirdink and by Jensma, Jensma brings the ball over, Codepring gives it over to Lee Valkamp who gets it over to Klopatek who sets the offense and gets it to Jensma, Jensma attacks, Yalbo shoots and scores, Jensma is on fire today, hits two threes and now this little nice short intermediate jumper for eight points for him, Stafontek comes up, gives it to Wolff, Wolff fires, Farini comes crashing through the middle, tries to kick it back out but doesn't get it, Klopatek's got the ball and now he is followed by Douglas Bokini who pleads his case, didn't feel he had done anything and the Kohler blue bombers substitute, Craig Bishop comes out and number 25 Craig Erpstaser comes in, Matt Riley comes in and Ryan Stafontek comes out, Westerbake the inbound at the half court, trying to get it into Klopatek but has to go to Jensma, Jensma back over to Klopatek who's closely guarded by Riley, gets it over half court, over to Mirdink, Mirdink looking inside posting up, Velkamp posting up Bokini and Lee Velkamp picks up an offensive foul and a turnover by the Eagles, Farini the inbound underneath, gets it into Riley, Riley's surveys is closely guarded by Klopatek, Christian Wolff at mid court setting a screen and Riley has no problem getting it over half court, Riley runs the offense, comes over to the left hand side back into Christian Wolff at the free throw line, Wolff makes a move goes left and puts it up short and Jensma with a rebound looking for Klopatek and Klopatek gets the ball and brings it up over half court, it's Patek over to Westerbake in the corner to Mirdink, Mirdink goes right around Wolff baseline and lays it in very easily, again Riley closely guarded by Klopatek and Riley decides to give it up to Wolff, Wolff dribbles over to the right hand side, skips over to the Farini and the Kohler Blue Bomber coach, Jeff Wolff takes a 30 second timeout, the score right now with four minutes and nine seconds remaining in the third period is Christian High Eagles 31 and the Kohler Blue Bombers 19, both teams came out in this second half, really with guns blazing, it's been up and down the court, it's been intense defense, some turnovers, layups, a whole bunch of things going on right now and that's indicative of playoff basketball, there is no tomorrow for either team, loser goes home and the winner continues on into this WIA tournament to play another day, the ball underneath their basket and the Eagles come out in a man-to-man, into the corner to Riley, over to Herb Stacer, back to Riley, looking for Wolff in the middle, Velcamp on the weak side helped, screened by Wolff, back into the middle can't get it over to Wolff, they give it to Farini, Riley squares up for a three lexical and swishes a beautiful shot by Matt Riley, making the score, Eagles 31, Kohler Blue Bombers 22, the paddock brings the ball up court, kicks it over to Westerbake, over to Miradink, over to Jensma, who stops and pops, little short Farini comes down out of the pack with the ball, over to Wolff and then back over to Riley, Riley dribbles up the floor with a little help from Christian Wolff and sets up the offense, he goes by, the paddock comes back over to Wolff, into the side to Vokini and he comes up short, Miradink rips down the rebound, outlet to Westerbake, closely guarded by Vokini, goes baseline, runs into Wolff, doesn't know where to go, kicks at the Miradink, Miradink at the free throw line and is fouled by number 25, Craig Herb Stacer, putting Joel Miradink at the line to shoot two. Oh no, excuse me, that foul was on Matt Riley, that's his fourth foul, fourth personal foul and the team fouls are now Kohler four and Christian one. Miradink lines it up, shoots and scores the first one, giving the Eagles a 10-point lead at 32-22. Some substitutions for the blue bombers, Craig Bishop comes back in along with Stefan Czeck and the Eagles sending Karl Dubois for Nate Klopatec. Miradink lines up his second shot, the left he shoots and scores his second free throw. Eagles full court pressure again, dumps into Christian Wolff, he turns, looks, surveys the floor, leaves it back for Stefan Czeck who dribbles up against Dubois, down the right hand side, kicks it over to Wolff, Wolff down the middle, dumps it to Bishop over to Ferrini, over to Stefan Czeck who dribbles the left hand, looking for a shot, double team and he turns the ball over, Miradink with a steal and dumps it into Lee Velkamp over to Dubois who dribbles up over the half court. Over to the side to a Westerbake into Miradink, Miradink guarded by Christian Wolff, Velkamp posting, takes the shot, kind of heaves it up there, it's a rebone and a tie-up with Craig Bishop and Lee Velkamp with the ball staying to the Eagles. Brandon Simmons checks in for Joel Westerbake. Christian going with a fairly larger lineup into a little dump into Jensma who's blocked, puts it up, gets his own, blocked again but Velkamp comes away with it, kicks it over to Simmons, back to Jensma who lines up a three and swishes it. That's his third three of the day. Fuller's got to come up with an answer for that guy. Christian Wolff dribbles over on the right hand side guarded by Miradink, back over to Bokini who attacks again on the right hand side, guarded by Simmons. Stefan Czeck comes out and gets it and Simmons forces them to go the other way into Dubois, back over to Bokini. Bokini around the top, over to Ferini, down in the corner to Stefan Czeck, looking into Christian Wolff who's posting and is mostly double team. Bishop at the elbow looking in, Ferini down into Wolff for an easy layup, nice ball movement by the Kohler Blue Bombers to free up Wolff and Wolff does such an excellent job of sealing his guy and getting open, a nice little touch pass inside and he gets the ball in for the basket. Joe Miradink lines up a three and takes it off the bracket. Dubois hustles over and saves it into Jensma but the ball was out of bounds and it is turned over to the Kohler Blue Bombers. With a minute 26 left into the quarter, Christian High Eagles lead Kohler Blue Bombers by 12, 36 to 24. Christian puts on the pressure and Dubois is crushed with a pick by Christian Wolff. They get it in underneath the Bishop who blows the bunny and Christian pushes it up, Velcamp to Jensma who sets up for the three and sends it up an air ball. He can't blame the kid though, he's been hot out there. He hesitated on that shot and came up short and the ball goes over to the Kohler Blue Bombers. Blue Bombers inbound to Christian Wolff, back over to Farini. Farini eyes it up, looks over to Bokini. Bokini guarded by Simmons. Hasn't gotten it over half court. They skip over to Christian Wolff on the left hand side guarded by Miradink. Wolff keeps his dribble spin move, shoots, brackets it but Bishop gets high and gets the rebound over to Bokini. Bokini lowers the shoulder, goes in, puts up the shot and makes it but the referee called a follow on Simmons before the shot went up and it's on the floor. The foul is against Simmons but there seems to be a discrepancy as to who the foul is on because if it's on 15 that would be his fourth foul. Unless that's Riley's number up on the scoreboard yet. They're trying to figure out who's the foul was on. Trying to determine the scores table. They correct it and they put the foul on Brandon Simmons. His first, the Christian High Eagles second. Farini the inbound over to Stefanczek who dribbles to the middle guarded by Dubois. Oh and Simmons just picked up a quick second foul as he reached in and hit Stefanczek on the hand. That's his second foul and the third team for the Eagles. Colored inbound again under the basket. Farini looking, dumped it into and I think Simmons just picked up his third foul as he bodied up Christian Wolff underneath as Christian just sealed him and put it right in the middle and they dumped it into him and Simmons was just helpless playing behind it. Simmons now being substituted by Coach Brett Flipsy for Luke Weir and Andrew Stekers and they dump into Stefanczek and Luke, I'm sorry, Lee Belcamp just picked up another Christian foul. That's his third foul and the Eagles fifth. The Eagles just picked up like four quick fouls within like 20 seconds here. There's 40 seconds left in the period. Farini looking to inbound, he gets it into Bishop. Bishop kicks over to Bocchini who steps in, takes the shot. Wolff with a rebound and he is fouled as Christian couldn't rebound. Christian High that is and that foul is on 31. Matt Sizemore his second and puts Christian Wolff at the line shooting two with 33 seconds left. Wolff it's the first one making the score 36-25. The eyes up the second and makes it bringing the blue bombers within 10. Andrew Stekers into the lineup. He brings the ball up over half court, eyes the situation, dumps it into Sizemore, Kohler in his own. Sizemore out at the three looking. Weir lines it up. There's 17 seconds left. Weir doesn't know where to go with it. It's contested by Bocchini, kicks it over to Velkamp. There's seven seconds, six. Velkamp penetrates the middle, does just Sizemore beautifully and Sizemore hits a nice little left hand layup. Beautifully run play right at the end of the quarter. Lee Velkamp penetrated. The Kohler blue bombers stepped up leaving Sizemore all by himself and he finished a nice little bunny. An exciting third quarter here between the Eagles and the blue bombers and we head into the fourth quarter, the final quarter of this game with the Christian High Eagles leading 38 to 26. As we start the fourth quarter, the blue bombers come out with their starting lineup. Dominic Ferrini starts along with number 23, Ryan Stefanchek and number 13, Doug Bocchini, number 25, Eric Steister and number 45, Kirsten Wolfe. The Eagles bring out Nate Klopatec, Andrew Stecker guarding Bocchini over to Ferrini, back over to Stefanchek guarded by Stecker who penetrates the middle, is blocked but followed by I believe number 11, Nate Klopatec and it looks like it's going to be a shooting follow, so they'll be shooting two and that puts Kohler blue bombers in the bonus for the rest of the fourth quarter. That was Nate Klopatec's first personal foul and now they are debating whether it was on the floor or if it's a shooting foul and the referees confer with one another and it looks like Stefanchek will be shooting two. He misses the first, is long, lines up the second and makes that one, making the score here early in the fourth quarter, 38, Eagles, 27 blue bombers. Klopatec dribbling up court, gets it into Luke Weir on the right hand wing. Weir looking inside, can't get it to Velcamp, closely guarded, dribbles outside, back over to Meriding down inside to Velcamp who goes up hard thinking he's going to get followed, he overlays, gets his own rebound and puts it back in. Stefanchek brings the ball up court, guarded by Klopatec, he penetrates the middle over to Bokini, over back to Stefanchek looking inside, puts up a shot, Crohn's off the route and leave Velcamp comes away, tips it over to Stecker who puts it in, is blocked from behind by Ferini, great hustle play by Dominic Ferini, the senior from Kohler, who blocked an easy layup attempt by Andrew Stecker. Checking into the eagle line up is Joe Westerbake for Luke Weir, inbounding the ball is Lee Velcamp for the Eagles and checking out of the Kohler-Blue Bomber lineup is Craig Herbsteser and I believe Matt Raleigh is the one that checked in for him. Klopatec takes the ball, dribbles down the right hand side, is stopped, thinks twice about it and a bad entry pass stolen by Kohler, Stefanchek comes out of it, presses it up the floor, gives it over to Christian, Christian over to Bokini, Bokini lines up just inside the three, shoots it, rims out, Christian Wolfe takes it away from Andrew Stecker and back out to Stefanchek who dribbles in the middle, dumps to Ferini for an easy bunny shot, beautiful play by Stefanchek, down into Ferini, drew the eagle defender over and forced the Eagles to come in, dump in the Velcamp who misses a bunny but rebounded by Westerbake, Klopatec comes in and bodies are flying everywhere and it looks like it's going to be a foul on Kohler. It's on Bokini I believe, his second personal team fourth, Eagles inbound underneath their basket, Joe Meerdink in the corner over to Nick Klopatec, Klopatec running the offense over to Westerbake, Stecker cutting through over to Meerdink, guarded closely by Christian Wolfe, eagle fans wanted a foul, Velcamp eyes it up, looking inside, gives it to Stecker in the corner back to Velcamp over to Klopatec, back to Velcamp over to Stecker, dumps it in to Lee Velcamp over to Meerdink, blocked by Christian Wolfe, Joel Meerdink gets his own rebound but then is, misses the shot and Lee Velcamp grabs the rebound and it is a Kohler foul, it's on the floor it doesn't look like Velcamp is going to get the shooting foul, that foul was on number 23, Brian Stafanczyk and Eagles will inbound underneath their basket, checking into the eagle lineup is Senior Brandon Simmons for the sophomore Andrew Stecker, Velcamp to inbound to Westerbake, Westerbake into the middle, elevates high, comes up short, Simmons tries to go up, got the rebound but it went off a Christian Wolfe's leg and the Eagles will maintain possession, the Eagles get the play called by Velcamp, they run it, look to Westerbake in the corner, Westerbake thinks about it, Kohler in a man to man, Brandon Simmons unguarded at the free throw line by Wolfe over to Klopatec as they run their little weed, Westerbake thinks about taking a shot, Klopatec looks at it but thinks twice and resets, Wolfe makes sure nobody penetrates down the lane, down into mirrored ink, mirrored ink is underneath the basket, kicks to Westerbake, Westerbake shoots the three and scores from mirrored ink, making the score 43 to 29 at the five minute mark here in the fourth quarter, Riley brings it up over half guarded by Klopatec over to Bokini, Bokini draws Joe mirrored ink on him and Christian Wolfe lowers his shoulder, bodies fly everywhere including Christian, he draws the foul I believe by Lee Velcamp, that is Lee's fourth personal with 4-46 left to play in the fourth, Wolfe shooting the first and making it, making the score 43 to 30, checking into the eagle line up now is Zach Jensma for Lee Velcamp and Christian Wolfe lines up his second free throw and makes it and Kohler calls the timeout, coach Jeff Wolfe asks for a 30 second timeout, trust me we're in for I think a tense last four minutes and 46 seconds here, like I said before neither team obviously is going to let this one go easily, there is no tomorrow in the WIA tournament you lose and you're done so it'll be an interesting four minute and 46 seconds left to go as we head into this timeout the Christian Iegos lead the Kohler Blue Bombers 43 to 31 as we come out of the timeout the Eagles will be inbounding underneath the Kohler basket Joe Westerbeck will inbound to his fellow senior Nate Klopatec who dribbles up and is guarded closely by Ryan Stefanczek, he passes over to Westerbeck who cuts through, Klopatec cuts through, Simmons dribbles out to the top guarded by Wolfe and it's tipped out by Ryan Stefanczek, Stefanczek has played a nice game for the Kohler Blue Bombers as he's come off the bench handling the ball and playing some good solid defense for the Blue Bombers today, Klopatec takes the ball dribbles over to his right looking for somebody to bring it in goes back to Westerbeck, Simmons all alone on the left hand wing kicks it out to Gensma who goes down the lane and puts up a double clutch shot comes off the rim and Christian Wolfe pulls down the rebound, Matt Riley brings the ball up over half as Kohler sets its offense, Coach Chef Wolfe yells out secondary and runs the play looks like Wolfe is going to take the shot he misses badly and it comes over to Miradink who tries to get it over to Joe Westerbeck but it's kicked out of bounds by Doug Bocchini over to the Eagles, Eagles to inbound in front of the Kohler bench, Joe Westerbeck looking for somebody to inbound it to he gets it over to Simmons, Simmons beats Christian Wolfe and heads down the left hand side now he's trapped and it's tipped out by Dominic Ferrini, Eagles looked a little discombobulated there not knowing exactly where they wanted to go, Joe Westerbeck to inbound again looks over to Simmons but gives it to Klopatec closely guarded by Stefanczek doubled by Bocchini it's Jensma at the free throw line he hesitates and didn't shoot the ball I don't know if the Eagles are looking to take some time oh nice play by Ferrini who taps it away and entry pass into Miradink and the bombers come away with it and it's tipped away by Westerbeck Westerbeck gets it back from Klopatec tries the reverse layup and falls short again and steps out of bounds as he tries to save it giving the ball to the blue bombers the blue bombers inbound and Matt Riley takes the ball guarded by Klopatec he heads down the left hand side carried the ball but wasn't called and sets it up for the bombers Christian Wolfe out at the three point line dribbles to the middle kicks it back over to Riley who sets for a long three hits the front of the rim and the Eagles come away with it Joe Miradink trying to hang on to the ball gets it over to Simmons, Simmons pushes it up the left hand side but hesitates to stop there and Brett Flipsy recognizing the Eagles are a little hesitant about what to do against this pressure calls a time out and tries to settle down his troops you can bet one thing the Kohler blue bombers are just going to give it their all down the stretch here there's going to be bodies and hands flying all over the place and it'll be interesting to see how the Eagles handle this pressure the Eagles have a nice senior laden team three of their starters are seniors along with the two sophomores right now though Lee Velkamp is out with four fouls and my guess is that coach Flipsy will be looking to bring him back in rather soon as they head down the stretch here right now the score is the Eagles 43 the Kohler blue bombers 31 there's two minutes and 49 seconds remaining the Eagles have 18 fouls the Kohler blue bombers have five so that means that the blue the blue bombers will be shooting the bonus and the bombers have two fouls to give before putting the Eagles in the bonus Clopata closely guarded by Stefan Czeck kicks it over to Westerbake into the corner to Simmons receives a little pressure from Christian Eagles running their offense somewhat deliberately making sure they get the good shot Clopata tremendously hassled by Bokini who eventually fouls him and it looks like some of the Kohler coaches are imploring a foul so that a lot of time runs off the clock by the Eagles that's the 16 foul Bokini that's his third personal foul and the Eagles will inbound Lee Velkamp looking the inbound kicks it in the mirrored ink and tipped out by Farini of the blue bombers giving the ball back to the Eagles again the blue bombers not rolling over here at all they definitely are being implored by their coach to give it their all and they are doing so their defense is tremendous Velkamp is back into the lineup he replaces Zach Jensma they need the ball handling and it looks like the Eagles are looking to take some time off they kick it down over to Simmons Simmons hesitates kicks it back out of Clopata there's two minutes left in the game and Stefan Czeck realizing time is running off the clock fouls Clopata who will now go to the line for the bonus that's Stefan Czeck second foul Stefan Czeck is just winded out there this kid is laid it all out on the floor tonight played wonderfully for Kohler Clopata gets the first free throw this is the key for any good team is whether they can hit their free throws down the stretch in a tight ball game especially one that has important ramifications like this one does it rattles around and falls in giving the Eagles a 14-point lead with two minutes left Eagles leading 45 to 31 Riley brings the ball over harassed by Clopata and then switched over by Velkamp playing defense he goes to the middle Wolf sets up for three lets it go and finds nothing but the bottom of the net beautiful shot Christian Wolf has wonderful range just like his father did in high school and quickly Jeff Wolf calls timeout after that basket score now is 45 to 34 with a minute 46 left in this game and my guess is you're going to see some quick fouls here by the Kohler blue bombers to stop the clock and put Christian at the line and then get the ball back and see if they can't get themselves back in this game it's been a well played well coached well refereed basketball game here this afternoon at Cedarburg and right now the Christian high Eagles really are in the driver's seat but there's a lot of time left a lot of time 11 points definitely is not insurmountable for the blue bombers with a minute 46 Christian walks out with Lee Velkamp Joe Westerbake Nate Clopata Joe Meerdink and Brandon Simmons the blue bombers come out with Riley Bokini Stefanczek Wolf and Farini Kohler putting on a full court press Velkamp trying to in bone he throws it and is stolen by Stefanczek by the blue bombers Wolf setting up for a three Bokini was setting up for a three contested Stefanczek shoots contested Meerdink with a rebound for Christian kicks it out to Westerbake and he is quickly followed by Stefanczek and it's a wise follow the blue bombers need to conserve as much time as possible Kohler blue bomber fans now imploring their team towards victory Joe Westerbake at the line shoots the first it rims out Christian Wolf with a rebound Matt Rowley dribbles up slowly I would think there'd be a little more urgency but they're running an offense for Christian Wolf to get out at the three covered by Meerdink dribbles the baseline shoots it long and it's rebounded by Farini over Velkamp Stefanczek down the middle he misses Wolf tapping it around and Simmons comes away with it gets it over to Velkamp they're aren't following yet they're trying to and they finally do Farini follows Velkamp in the back court with a minute nine seconds left putting Velkamp at the line that's Farini's first the blue bombers ninth but team falls just don't really matter at this point they need to stop the clock and get the ball back Lee Velkamp lines it up sophomore from Christian lets it go it's got beautiful rotation great shot form hits the first one it's got one more free throw score now 46-34 shoots the second rattles around and goes in making it 47-34 13-point lead by Christian Riley trying to get a foul loses it and Velkamp goes in for an easy layup now the bombers are gonna are in a tough position Eagle's flying around the court trying to put pressure on Riley shoots a three partially blocked by Velkamp rebounded by Klopatec who is followed by Farini with 49.2 seconds left and the Eagle fans are smelling a victory right now coach Brett Flippsy is looking to substitute and put some seniors in right now hey Klopatec is at the line shooting two he hits the first checking into the Eagle lineup his senior Marshal Verveldi and senior Marcus Lemihue checking out is Lee Velkamp who had another wonderful game especially down the stretch here and Joe Westerbeek Klopatec shoots a second and rattles hard off the bracket and Stefanczyk comes away with it checking into the Kohler lineup is number 24 AJ Armstrong a junior for the blue bombers Riley goes down the lane misses a short little bunny Klopatec comes away with it Kohler looks like they're not going to foul they kick it over to Marshal Verveldi Verveldi not getting a lot of playing time but wisely just kicks it back out and not just shoots it Bokini follows Klopatec who wants the ball and his hands towards the end here there's 22.7 seconds left in this game and Christian definitely has this one in control at 50 to 34 Klopatec eyes up the first and makes his first into the lineup are a couple JV players for Christian Jeremy Jensma checks in number 33 and Zach Flippsi the coaches son of freshman number 24 also checking into the Kohler lineup is number five Shane Anderson and number three Matt Dijkster House also checking into the Eagle lineup is Eric Petron with 18 seconds left Bokini running the offense guarded by Flippsi he goes down the lane shoots one up misses bodies on the floor as Lemmy struggles to get up dumps it into the number 24 with a nice little bank shot AJ Armstrong gets two points for the Kohler blue bombers Zach Flippsi the freshman now dribbling up with no time out and the score of this WIA division for regional game between the
