 Looking at the Fox Valley when North played Oshkosh North at their tournament here. Oshkosh North defending state champs was just 500 in their league, finished about 6th in their league and they came into this house and beat them. But you know that was way back in December and Sheboyga North playing at home should be a nice thing. I mean they've been battle tested against a very good South West team and you know over the summer and things so I like the fact you're playing at home. One of the things about tonight's game is both teams come in with some players chipped up. And Noel Robbins is not suited up tonight for North and one of the higher scores for Oshkosh, Nate Platter, averaging 9.6 points a game is out. He's got a boot on his foot. Unless they make it to the state, he may not play anymore this year. Now that's a big, big factor is having that guy on the floor, is having that missing that guy. When you have one of your leading scores on a team, that's big. You know if there's one thing Sheboyga North seems to have in depth. We talked about it all year with the players, we talked about it in the booth, you know, you get 10 up and I think it hurt them towards the end of the game. There's no doubt about it, but I think the pressure by the guards and I mean North really picks a lot of pressure. You know everybody talks about they got big guys, well you know it's like anything else. Well yeah but if you defend those guards tough, they can't feed the post either so I mean I think North's defense will help there. A lot will come down, like you said, to a conomal walk being able to handle a pressure, so their guard play is going to become very important. Their leading score is Caleb Flatton Moore, he's averaging 13 a game and Drew Fisher averages 10 and a half. Those guys, you know, it's all nice to hear the leading score down. Another guy up in the tip-off for tonight's game and let's hear it for the pep band. Get to get humans to mar. Some are rocket structural engineer designing and building parts of the rocket. You are the generation that will be stepping foot on Mars. Do I have a group of astronauts on my hands? Yes. You can become a rocket scientist or whatever else you want to be.

Visit them at aurora.org slash sports. There you get a good shot of Eric Worth getting ready to tip this ball game off. Raccoons have the first possession, North of course in a man-to-man defense. Turner Krause with the start. That's what I was talking about, Tice on the fall, and that's a tight disparity, Chris, we were talking about. I don't know if you noticed in warm-ups, Chris, when we were standing down there waiting to go on the air, but they made a lot of three-point baskets. And a lot of them from the left side of the three-point line. Yeah, they're big and strong, Marty. They are... Just you mentioned in the opening now, we noticed they were big, but now without their tank tops up, they are put together. Been kind of the thing we said in Sheboygan, we're trying to change the way we do things, working out and things like this. This is what you want to look like. You're a high school player, big and strong like this. Platter was a 6-2 guy, winner for two. Platter's out taking his spot as a 6-2 freshman, Greg Galloway. And look at the pressure by Norf. Look at the pressure. Schmittke on a leap and leaner couldn't get it to go. Winner saw a possible opportunity to come up and try and make the steal, but I think it was a correct decision to hang back. Galloway, the freshman is number two. I'm sure, yeah, O'Connell walk is going to be... That's all caused by, I was going to say, the pressure. They haven't seen defense like this. Sheboygan North is in your shorts, and they are right there. The leading scorer for O'Connell walk is number 12, Caleb Flatenmore. He was the one that just committed the turnover. Deep three is no good by Krause. And Wright making that three. Witter with a quick three. He's got it. Galloway, the freshman gets the task of taking on Brent Witter, and he just got schooled there. Freshman versus a senior in Witter. That's a walk. Yeah, that was good defense. Good hustle on the D by Austin Tice. It's a ready third turnover on the Coonies. Renzelman in for Tice. He was at the table getting ready to check in before that nice defensive effort. Good feed inside, and then drawing the foul was Jake Perrain. And that was not a good move by him. He's six foot six. Stay down on your feet. Why do you have to leave your feet there? As being a senior you would think you would know a little better than that. Now you just pick up a silly foul. Dancing on the rim and it drops through for Pottest. Tanner Jankor checks in for the Raiders, and you mentioned it in the opening. Chris said a lot of guys play for North. And obviously that's important if you're going to put on a lot of pressure. Got to have fresh guys in there. Look at the trouble. And a tap away and a steal. Kick it out for a three. Oh, bad miss. Renzelman missed. Witter was open in the corner. In and out. Good job by Renzelman to tap it out. North looks sharp. Hustling, not flat footed, playing good D. They're ready to play tonight. Good fake. Witter had his shot blocked. Jankor getting up tight on the Econema Walk player. There's a travel not called. You can't give that. Boy, he dragged the pivot foot big time, Chris. And I think the outside official was going to call that travel. And he changed his mind. Should have overdone that. Said that travel was before the foul. Oh, that was flat. But rolled in. Perrain with the three point lead. Witter, catch and shoot. Got bumped, no call. I'll tell ya, some of these Econema Walk players look tired already. Only a couple of trips up the floor. See if that... Schmittke just a little bit late coming over on the double team. Glau is flat and more to score his first basket of the night. North down three. I noticed some of these conies already flat footed and tired. I think you're going to get them over to the hall. There's a... Wow, a major bumping and banging going on. And Perrain gets called for his second foul. And that's big. Like I said, there's 6-6 going on to the bench with 13-47 left. Furman, Joe Furman checking in. Jankwart... Oh, great move by Jankwart, but he couldn't get the shot to go. And Econema Walk comes away. Lestina comes in and scores right off the bench. Witter's been right there. The basket just doesn't want it, Marty. He's got to keep shooting. Who scored that last basket for Econema Walk? Number three, Ray Lestina. Right down the lane goes Renzelman and he scores. Where's our press? Got to get up on that press. I think that's going to hassle them. Wear them down. Uh-oh. Oh, they lost track of them. Fisher scoring. I got picked. Furman had it on top. Call that one, but you missed the obviously one on the other end, which was a three-point play. Big-time drag of the foot on that one by the Econema Walk kid not called. Yep. Got him that time. Lestina drug the foot. Tyson for a pottist. The raccoon's extending the pressure now, Chris. Oh, a lot of bumping and bang. Furman and Witter trying to get through at the same time. Got to make a decision on that. Good solid screens there by Tice. Renzelman rises up above the crowd and scores. Very aggressive for Chase. Good job. Good job by Renzi to drive it to the hoop. Witter almost with the strip, but getting it back and scoring was Lestina and he's fouled. Almost. That's an almost. Pottist and Schmittke back in. Here comes a big fellow too off the bench, Marty. Yeah, big number 32. Mike Cundey. Cundey's 6'5". Which way? Yeah. Short. Jankord with the rebound. Pottis or Schmittke here, please. Or Jankord. Renzelman trying to get the rebound, there's enough offensive threats, but you can't leave guys open for them. Storing the basket was Greg Galloway, the freshman. Nobody accounted for him and there it is right there, a 3-point hoop. North down 19-8. It's a full-timeout, Scott. Chris, other than the obvious, not covering that 3-point shooter. What's wrong with North? Well, they're just, the shots aren't going in and Cundey needs to be pressed and you can't be pressed if you don't make baskets and there should be a couple lapses there. You mean they've got to get through some big screens and this is where communication helps and being a bunch of seniors, North is okay. Just a little run, it's only an 8-point game and there's, my gosh, there's 28 minutes left. There's a long way to go on this one. 10-37 left this half. O'Connor walk in a zone. Hottest had an open shot from the corner, couldn't get it to go. Unfortunately, a step back three is no good by Enright. There's another bad play. These guys keep... They're saying it wasn't in the act of shooting. They keep leaving their feet, which is dumb. They're big and tall to stand there and be tall. Conwalk, I think, played zone on the last series back to a man-to-man here, wide open. Shooting and scoring was Austin Tice off a nice pass from Renzelman. And that just should never happen. I mean, there again, the defender on the out of bounds should be standing under the basket, especially at the varsity level. Nice chance for North to get a 3-point play. Thank you very much. This is exactly what they needed. Tice's free throw rolls off was a little bit flat. Didn't have much arch on that shot. Fisher looking for an opening, couldn't find it. Gets it over to Enright. Good hustling defense by Witter. Conor Enright picks up the foul. Must have been a screening foul of sorts. And he's got two now. Greg Galloway's back in for the raccoons. Some major players with fouls. Troubled for a Conwalk already. Be nice to get Schmidtke going a little bit. Conomal off pretty quick on defense, Chris. Samper as big as they are. Sam Roth is just all over Witter. Renzelman driving to the hoop, couldn't get it. Found the opening, but couldn't score. Got a reload and do it on this end, boys. Oh, he walked. What's worse, thought the same thing as me. Fisher got around the defense. Cottis not moving his feet well enough. Yeah, and he used his body well, Marty. I noticed that when he was working against the pressure, bringing it up across half-court, he uses his body well to get the defense behind him. Yep, and protect the basketball. Real nice job of work there by Fisher. Back to an eight-point lead for O'Connor Moach. Renzelman turning down the three-point shot. Schmidtke on a catch and shoot. Got it. His first three, first points of the night. Just two-threes for North under eight minutes. Would like to see them get about eight or nine tonight. Fisher was their second-high score, Chris, at ten and a half. Five seconds. That's who Witter was guarding that last trip down. Turner-Crow's coming in for Renzelman. Chase had a good run, Chris. Very good. He's out there. And again, Coonies have to go with somebody off the bench and he doesn't get rid of the ball. And a five-second call and a turnover. Chance for North to slice that lead again. The two or three. Witter being guarded closely. Having trouble getting open. Bump, big time on the driver. They're going to give him two shots. Sam Marott picks up the foul. They have one, two, three, four, five different players with fouls, Chris, but only one of them has two. Oh, I thought two of them had two. Yeah, no. I thought Parane and who else I think had two fouls. And Wright, I thought had two fouls, too. You know, I did two when I marked it down. I didn't have any for him. Who were rounding down for Witter on that first free throw. 723 left in the first half. North down four. And they're creeping back, creeping back. Oh, here we got a new defense. Haven't seen this all year. Two on two. Zone press. Yeah. Can't let them get it down that deep. They're going to score every time. Flatt Moore has six points. No call on Witter's drive to the hoop. Boy, oh boy, it looked like an obvious foul. Galloway loads it up. And got it. Went about three feet above the whim, and then it just dropped right through. Tough break for the North Siders. Look at the size of that kid. He's a freshman, number two. Good use of the body. Well, North comes away with a steal, and now we do finally get a whistle. I'll tell you, got away with a major bump, was Drew Fisher, number 14. Bonus time now for North. And that's good. North, an excellent free throw shooting team. Something that Coach Dessertel did a great job of doing, and teams that always seem to get the other team into foul trouble and get to that bonus line early, where they chip away and get points. Well, they had it down to three points, Chris, and all of a sudden it's back up to eight. They're all right, and I'm not worried. Watch this throw, Chris. Is that sweet or what? Yeper. North, six for seven at the line this half. O'Connellock is two, three for four. They're also O'Connellock shooting 66% from the floor. A lot of those are because they're getting laps and shots close to the paint. Well, Coach called a timeout. A timeout by O'Connellock. It's a 30-second timeout, so we'll keep it here. 6'11 left in the first half. Oh, Chris, I'm worried. Are you? Simply because of the height. Oh, well. Like I was saying in the opening, sometimes that height doesn't show itself till later in the game. Well, the thing that's... I'm okay as North's not hitting any of their threes. But I'll say O'Connellock's making it difficult for North. And it's very difficult to get open, but the one thing that North is doing, they're getting to the basket. Resilience driven to the basket. Whitter's getting to the basket, which means they're getting fouled. So since the three-point shot isn't there, they're doing the smart thing, and because O'Connellock's right on top of them, they're driving to the basket and they're getting those fouls, that's why they have a 7-3 advantage at the foul situation. Whitter's on flat and more. Number 12 underneath the basket. That's interesting. That is an interesting... Oh, they're going to get a charge. I'll tell you, if that was a college game, Chris I think would be a foul on Whitter because he was inside the... that little hoop. Galloway instead picks up the foul. That's his first. We'll have to check out that in-right foul situation. Oh, Janecourt almost lost it. Tice going hard to the hoop. Defense stepped in front. No call either way. You know, I think that why they didn't call is because of the foul discrepancy. I honestly do. That should have been a foul on O'Connellock. Oh, it's 8-3 there. You know, the coach is in the ear. That should have been a foul. A good penetrating pitch. Fisher's shot is over the ramp, over the backboard. A lot of bounce. Pottiston-Renzelman coming in for North. Lot of substitutions, Chris, for North. You know, I keep talking about the height of O'Connellock. Maybe it's a substitution pattern early in the game. We'll pay dividends for North later on. I think so. Schmidtke couldn't get the bounce. More with his fifth rebound. Yeah, Fisher driving the basket. Couldn't get it to go in there. Over the back is the big guy. Flatten Moore. Nice. And the O'Connellocks. Fans having nothing to do with it. Only his first, though, Chris. Maybe he was ever yelling like this. We should have sent him the Mike McCarthy tape. You look, you sound like an idiot yelling at the officials. Pottist, 3-4-3 so far. Yeah. Keep it going. Making all their hay at the free throw line. Foul is really, really going to hurt. O'Connellock. Oh, that's a break. Oh, a lot of bump in there. A good job of getting it in the middle of the floor. And Galloway looks, does not look like a freshman out there, Chris. Oh, two guys in the same spot. Reminds me of the Green Bay Packer passing game. Here, Renzelman picks up the foul, but I'll tell you, doing a great job of getting him out of the way was Flatten Moore. Renzelman's first foul. Only the fourth team foul on North with 4-37 left. Galloway gets fouled. Renzelman again. O'Connellock plays in the classic eight. That's down near Milwaukee. Well, those are big, big football schools. Catholic Memorial, McGowanego, Arrowhead. All the Waukesha schools. That's a big, big strong conference. Normally for football. I was going to say, not big in terms of number of schools, but the size of the schools. You know what's weird is there's the classic eight, but they have nine teams. Say that again. They're the classic eight, but they have nine teams in their league. Sounds a little like the Big Tim. Yep. North shooting just 33% from the floor, Marty, but they're only down six. Witter finally had a wide open shot, and he buried it. The Fritos have kept North in, some shots, the world's okay. Good help here. Good help defense. But getting the wide open look. Inright, and he does only have one fold. Yes, he does. Inright, that was a flat-footed shot. Sam Rott has a Brent Witter. Witter trying to post up inside, but I'll tell you, they're fighting them tooth and nail down there. They've given them an inch. Catch and shoot. No good. Witter with the rebound. Fick puts it up. No good. And coming away with the rebound was the 6-5. Flanton Moore, but North steals it. Tice couldn't get it to go, but he's fouled, and Flanton Moore picks up another foul. Aren't you yelling at the officials what they should do is yell at their team for all the turnovers. Austin Tice will be at the line shooting a pair. He's got the only missed free throw for North this half. Free throws are keeping them in the game. Mike Cundy comes in along with Ray Lastina. And now Moore on the bench leading score. Big force and a rebound with two fouls with three minutes left. Nine turnovers on the Coonies already. Nine. And here they come in again at you. Point lead for the raccoons. I'll tell you, Pottis is not going to take the ball away from Cundy. There just is no way. But he's going to scrap. That's right, exactly. He's in there scrapping. And that's another turnover by the Coonies. Make it 10. Good feed inside to Witter. And he scores. What a pass. Sawyer Pottis. Just under three minutes left in this first half. Very entertaining. Calling an offensive foul. And Chris will say this, in defense of O'Connellwalk, there's only one guy down there making all the noise. It's not like there's a bevy of fans from O'Connellwalk. The one reason I don't like that foul is that their player was getting bumped up the floor, bumped up the floor, and then he pushes and then he gets the foul. Yeah. Jankort couldn't get it to goal. Coming away with it as Witter kicked out Jankort again. Couldn't get it. Witter on the save, but he bounced it on the out of bounds line and couldn't quite get the save. Who else but Brett Witter in there in the trees getting that rebound. Drew Fisher limping to the sideline. It's a battle out there, Marty. Yeah, it's a fight. And Norton's not going to back down on their press. Love it. Max Niniman in the game for the first time that I've noticed anyway. Number 11. He's got the ball right now being guarded closely. He can't handle the rock. Oh, boy. Cundy gets a gift by mistake, but he pays, but he scores, took advantage of it. O'Connellwalk's been lucky on a couple of their baskets. Now look at this mismatch. Witter's going to have an opportunity get Witter the ball. Galloway grabbing at Witter. Witter under pressure, rims out. Galloway comes away with the rebound. Can't believe he's a freshman. Wow. You mentioned he's averaging just over five points a game, which for a freshman, I think is pretty good. I think the Cunies would just like to get to halftime with their foul situation with the lead. Oh, Galloway worked inside, got the rebound, but he couldn't finish. Up the pot as he pulls up for a three. Couldn't get it. Look good from here. And a great effort out there by Connor Enright. Schmidtke for North. Sam Roth coming back in. Brooks Walter checking out for the Raiders. Prowess almost had it. The quickness of North. Yeah, Brooks Walter was in, was out. Wow. And we got a 30 second time out, so we'll keep it here. 114 left. You might need that just to get the ball in bounds. I don't understand the time out here with a minute 14. You might need those later, but... A couple things in the first half, and you mentioned one of them. The fact that North really isn't shooting very well so far. But then, one example, they're getting some breaks, I would say. That fan down the way, of course, wouldn't say this, but O'Connor will walk on that errant pass right to Cundy. Made North pay. Earlier, too, there was a play on the baseline when they got one in the moor. There was about three of them they've got in there. Deep pass. Cross on the... Deep pass defense. Couldn't get it, but Galloway traveled on his way to the basket. That's more than one CUNY up. I think there are a couple of CUNYs up here with us yelling about that one. And another turnover. In all sincerity, Chris, I almost think that was a bit of a Euro step. It probably could have gone. Schmidtki, a wide open three, couldn't get it in. 13 turnovers for the CUNYs. And that's another one. Oh! I thought they dribbled that off his foot. Look at the pressure. 45 seconds left. Enright has it. Allen for one shot. They have a four-point lead. Driving and not being able to score was Galloway, but he was followed by Austin Tyson. That'll be Austin's second foul. Well, that was one of the deals where you just have to take the layup, Marty. Galloway has eight points so far in this half. North shooting just 29% from the floor, Marty. Ooh. That's a lot better in the second half. Tice goes out. Jancourt back in. Tanner, Jancourt has had several open threes and he just can't buy a basket. Max Schmidtki does have a basket, but I'll tell you, he had a couple others that were wide open. He couldn't get those to go. And you're right on on there. Jancourt 0-5, Schmidtki 1-5. Good call, Marty. North will now attempt to play for one. He's left. The clock on your screen is not correct. Clock rolling down. 10 seconds. Witter looking for the opening, sees it down the lane. Shoots rims out. It's been that kind of half. And that shot goes off. We're at halftime here at North High School with the conima walk up 33 to 29. Fouls are pretty dumb. But if you decide to drink and drive underage, you could lose your life. And your freedom. Underage drinking and driving. The ultimate party foul. Okay, so we drowned the fire, stirred it, drowned it again, and now just feel if it's cold. Yeah. Cool. Smokey just gave me a bear hug. I already posted it. And I knew nothing about coding. But you guys do. You guys have the power to change things. I want your job. I want you to have my job. You have arthritis. It can be a painful reminder of all the things you can't do. Let's get a grip on arthritis. You can help by donating at arthritis.org. Some chores you dread. You do them. But that doesn't mean you're happy about it. Then there's registering with the selective service. If you're a young man turning 18, the law says you have to register. It'll keep you eligible for college loans, government jobs, and training. And it only takes two minutes, which makes it not only your most important chore, but the easiest. When you turn 18, register at sss.gov or the local... Mom and Dad used to argue about everything, especially about Dad's drinking. My family went from totally crazy to quiet, calm, and even peaceful when Mom started going to Al-Anon family groups. I wanted a better relationship with Dad, so I asked Mom if she would take me to her Al-Anon meetings, or to Alateen. I'm sure glad I did. If someone's drinking troubling you, you might be surprised at what you can learn in an Al-Anon or Alateen family group from people just like you. Call 1-888-4-ALATENON or go to Al-Anon... And we're back at North High School. Before we talk about this ballgame, we found out during halftime at South, over at Hamilton is down 16 at halftime. Chris, not looking good for them. Let's talk a little bit about here. I know you've got some interesting stats. I heard you talking to Matt Horzen about it. What do you got for us? Interesting. North only down by 4 points. 28% shooting, 8 of 29. And they only made 3 of 14-3. O'Connor Walk had 18 shots only. They're at 66%. The thing is, you turned them over 12 times. So kind of a strange number game. Yeah, exactly. North was outstanding from the free throw line, kept them in the game. They hit 10 out of 11. They had 3-3's. Their leading scorer, Brent Whitter, had 12 points to lead all scorers in the first half. O'Connor Walk had 4-3's. They made 5 out of 8 free throws. Not too bad. They were doing real good until Galloway missed those 2 near the end of the half. North has just got to keep doing what they're doing, and hopefully those shots will drop. Yeah, this is a war, I'm telling you. They are getting well defended and very physical. We mentioned that before. Being aggressive, I think, was attacking the rim. It was a big thing for North for O'Connor Walk. Boy, oh boy, they turned it over 12 times, which we hoped they would do. If they cleaned that up, then I don't know what could happen here. But I like North's chances. They're only down 4, and they didn't play a great first half. Very competitive first half. Our crew tonight is Scott Malifar, director. Richard Bartzen giving you that shot. He's Camera 1. Eric Weisman is down on the floor with Camera 2. I'm Mike Martin doing play-by-play. Chris Wright is our color man and stats guy. Chris Wright. It's a battle. It's one of the best games we've seen all year, Marty. You talk about the refereeing and tournament action is different than it is in a regular season, and we're seeing that here. Flanton Moore gets it down deep, and you're just not going to score him down there. Stopping him down there. Once he gets it there, again, that's what we said in the open. You've got to put pressure on the guard so that it doesn't happen. You've got the deflection, but you didn't get the steal. So they had the second opportunity. Thust the basket. The tight, the pressure on... Sawyer Potts has got two of them. He missed that layup attempt. I thought he tried to draw a foul. That could have been two. Perrain looking for a receiver. Perrain did not play much in that first half. He picked up two early fouls and then sat. Yeah, really early. Starting the second half, however. Yeah, with like 15 minutes left, he had the fouls. Good point, Marty. He'll feed inside. Flanton Moore on the turnaround, couldn't get it, and then a tip goes over to O'Connell walk. And driving and scoring was Perrain. Another bad bounce for the Raiders, and they're down eight again. Is that a third foul? It is. And that silly foul out there again, and the big fella soul instrumental to the Coonies is going to have to take a seat. The 16-12 mark. That's a big, big clog out of the middle. Certainly is. Both ends of the floor. Oh. Tough. Watch this. Fake, and he's going to move off the screen here, get an opening and hit this tough shot. I guess we're not going to see that. That was tough. Another offensive foul on them. That's Perrain. That's his third. Wow. Coach is going to let him go. Set out most of the first half. They're going to keep him in there. And then Schmittke not looking for the pass right away and couldn't adjust to it and lost it. Just a... What do I got? Third turnover of the night. Slipping around the defense and scoring was... Lastina. He has nine points. Witter couldn't get it to go. Kraus trying to get the rebound, couldn't get it. Perrain gets it. I think that's a good decision for the Coonies to keep one of their big horses in there. Perrain 6-6. And getting around the defense but not able to score was Sam Rott. Boy, he had a nice drive. Getting up slowly is... Tice. Kraus leaning and scoring. Down the lane. You know, and if I was with Connemwalk it would be happy. There's a lot of contact on this end and then North gets one here. Here you're going to see it. Look at the contact here. Lots of contact. Nothing called there and then on this end North gets another foul. No foul on Connemwalk, but they didn't get anything on this end either. North was really tough at the line in the first half. Let's hope they can keep that up in the second half. Thanks, Marty. Kraus was two for two in the first half. Couldn't get that one to go, however. I take responsibility for that, Chris. They were, and their free throw shooting kept them in that half. Like I said, that's what they want to do. Get to the rim. The ball line, a very good discipline free throw shooting team is the Raiders. Perrain, that should be a travel. It's a tough assignment for Chase Renzelman. Well, he had nowhere to go. Actually, he was really forcing the action. Yeah. And that may have been a result of him playing so little in the first half. He wants to make something happen in the second half. Pottis, nice feed off to Renzelman who scores. Pottis with another nice pass. Sam Roth has it on top. Just down three. I like it. Pottis working hard on the post defense. Perrain being guarded by Schmittke on the outside. Look at North. Just in your grill. Roth has it on the wing. And the North Fan student section appreciates the effort. And Pottis is going to pick up the fall. Good defensive stand by North, however. Roth is going to shoot a couple of free throws. Go on this one, boys and girls. Roth looked pretty good on those two free throws. And Roth is guarding with her. That was a pretty good matchup in the first half. I thought Roth did quite well. Look at him right in his face. You can't see it from that shot. He was like that all the game. Oh. Jaycourt got caught up in the air, but he was able to get the shot to go. You would have shot it. You wouldn't have passed there. You would have shot there too. Galloway around the defense. Rimmed in and out. Witter comes away with the board. Break for North. Pulls up from three point land. Couldn't get it. The rebound was Perrain. It was Lastina on the rebound. So Chris, do you think that Perrain's got a little bit of a malfunction on his uniform with those shoes? Oh. Renzelman taking it hard to the hoop and then picking up the foul was Conor Enright. That'll be his second. Yes. Here's another turnover. 15 turnovers now on the Coonies. They don't win this game. This will be the reason why is the big T for turnover. It's a three-point ball game. There's over just under 12 minutes. Oh, nice back cut. Cottis then he gets a nice pass from Renzelman. They're sharing the ball, Chris. Krause working hard on Galloway and then we get a full time out by O'Connel off. 11-31 left in the second half. 41-40. There you see Jay Benes talking to his team. You know, Conor Moach, Coonies and checking in is Caleb Flatton Moore, number 12. There you see him. He's a leading scorer. So far tonight, though, he hasn't had a lot of points. He's only got eight. He's been able to hold him in check pretty well. Well, it's a follow trouble for him. That's been the issue. Seems like a pretty good decision by Jay Benes to leave Perrain in there. He's played quite a few minutes now with three fouls. And now O'Connel Moach has the two big guys in. Perrain, 6-6, Enright, and Moore, 6-5. And a double dribble on the Galloway. Another turnover. Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure. Can you handle the pressure by Norse D? You're not doing a good job. Called it in the opening. Yeah, right. We did talk about that, didn't we? The importance of their guard play. And it's been good for North against the Coonies. Guarding winner this time is Max Niniman. And he's very tight on him. North looking. Can't get it inside. Witter was open for a second. Now he's open on the screen, but again couldn't get it to go. Kralos on the save, but he put saved it right to Galloway of O'Connel Moach. A good double team by Witter. Moore got just farther and farther away from the basket. Oh, good defense by O'Connel Moach. Perrain hard to the basket, couldn't get it to go. Putting it up and in is Max Niniman. Tough exchange. Renzelman finally takes a three and doesn't even come close. The O'Connel Moach fans are calling for the travel on North and I'm just not seeing it, Chris. No. Not even close. Very much so. A good tip away, but Galloway gathers it back and puts it in. What's he doing there? He's in place. Right time. Shocked that he was even standing there. Why was he in the post with his big guy there? Crazy. There's a reason why they give Renzi that three ball. He's not going to shoot it. Galloway really tight on Poyupotis. He drives and scores. It's like a continuation the NBA. Wow. Driving to the rim tonight. Getting to the basket. Lots of opportunities at the free throw line to get points when the baskets are hard to come by. And another three point play. Had a bunch of those. And now they're up on way press again. Ninimans had trouble with pressure. Let's see how he does here. Good feed off by Niniman. Scoring is Flatten Moore. How's too easy, Chris? Yeah. He gave it to the wrong guy. Flatten Moore had that basket. Yes he did. They put it up on the scoreboard correctly. Schmidtke had a little bit of an opening. Didn't take it. Nice. Sawyer. Nice. Sawyer using the body well scores. Nice. He has 11 points now. Good job by Galloway to break the press. Flatten Moore has it at the wing. Takes at 12 footer and drains it. Oh my. Yeah. But I'll tell you, it creates more problems for the North defense. Pottis on a quick one. Couldn't get the bounce to go. Witter is going to get called for the foul. Foul game. Set up your press, boys. Set up your press. Roden Enright come in for a little connoisseur. They're going to have trouble here. They're going to have trouble here. Ninimans in there. Ninja. I told you. Rod throws it out of bounds. You took out your point guard and you got just a mess for the Kunis out there now. Ninimans got to bring it up. They're all confused on defense. Hit a three now, boys. They set up the double scream for Pottis but they fought through, prevented the shot and Witter again with a nice look. Couldn't get it in. It looked in. Wakama does not like the pressure. I wish it would have came up and pressured even on that missed shot attempt. Looked like he had an opening. A lot of contact. Fred Moore couldn't make it. He had a little chipping. He couldn't get it in. Oh, no. It was a flop without falling over. That's a costly one, Chris. It's Brent's third. Oh, a replay of that one. It's a 30 second timeout. Maybe we can get the replay of that last fall. It didn't look like the arm swung out, Chris. It almost was like the defender in trying to retreat tripped. Stumbled a little bit. Yeah. Brent's just got to play hard. We only got seven and a half left. He's a smart player. There was one call in the first half and now this one where the official that made the call was actually behind the play on the back. He's not seeing where their arms are in front and I thought O'Connor walk got caught on the same deal in the first half down on this end where the official was calling it from behind. 18 turnovers now on O'Connor walk. Like I said, North just so quick this makes it so difficult to get the ball in here. He doesn't want the ball. Max Nittiman has it against Witter. Witter's got to be smart. He's dangerous. He got three fouls, Brent. Oh, nice feed inside to Flanton Moore. He couldn't get the shot in but he does draw the foul. And that's big that he missed that because that was a bunny. It's two bunnies he missed. That one was a little different. He's real, you know, make him shoot him from the free throw line but Brent, you got to know better to reach there. Flanton Moore was two for two again on that one. Still all right here with a one-possession situation. Got 13 points. Witter and Tice check out. Renzelman and Krause come in or was that I think it was Jancourt. He's good, Chris. Got 14 points. And Brent's to the bench. You got to give him a little bit of a rest too. He's been working hard. And with the fouls. Pottis going to have to find some offense somewhere else. Pottis, Jancourt, Schmidtke. Yeah. That time he forced it, he got caught, Marty. You know, he did that before he made the basket. Right, yeah, good point. Positive thing as you get to put your press back on. Negative thing is Galway's back in which is a big bonus for them. He don't mind the pressure as much, even though he's a freshman. We mentioned Galway's listed as 6-2 and he's thick. Rote, good double team. Nice strip by Jancourt and then a foul on Rote. And that was a good call. He definitely got him. Rote second. 16 foul. I like the officials not listening to the coaches. Just they officiate. Too often our coaches are talking to officials. Renzelman. Almost had the ball stripped. Got to get a basket here. Didn't get one the last time. Kamoak extending the defense. Jancourt, can he get it? Yes! It's first three of the night. He's got five in the game. And a steal by Jancourt. Schmidtke almost with a steal. Jancourt knocked it away. Witter coming right back in. He got a bow. It's a little less than a minute's rest. Game time anyway. Pressure, they can't handle the pressure. I don't want the ball. I don't want it. Here it comes. And right inside the flat. More office foot out of bounds. Norse ball. They have a chance to take the lead. Can't handle the pressure. Jancourt trying to work the defense. Driving to the hoop but not able to score with Chase Renzelman. He got around the defense. Just didn't have quite enough to finish. Yeah, short-armed it a little bit. Yeah, there's a good call. It was a great move. Renzelman playing good D. Enright has it in the corner. Looking. Kahnemann needs to find someone else besides Moore to get a basket. Enright's been really quiet. Fisher, we haven't heard his name at all. Second leading score. He's been basically nothing in the second half for him. Got a good block by Renzelman. Schmidtke. Couldn't get it again. Norse with a good opportunity. Just couldn't put it in. And stolen away by Jancourt. Lead feed. Pottest. Norse leads 52-51. Oh, the turnovers. The defense. The press. I like it when we call it in the opening. The press is going to be great. The basket to be able to set it up. Perrain. And timeout by O'Connor Mawak. Full timeout Scott with 4-31 left. North finally in the lead. Hey Chris, I hate the rain on your parade. You said North had four turnovers. What is O'Connor Mawak? 19. And North only leads by one. That doesn't seem right. Well, Norse done the job with the free throws. And they're poor shooting tonight. But their defense is winning the game. They're having a poor shooting night. But defense and free throws is keeping them in. And now they have the lead. And O'Connor Mawak is down to just one timeout with 4-30 left. Team follow situation. O'Connor Mawak has six. North has four. Perrain trying to drive baseline. Couldn't get it to the hoop. Kick it back out, obviously. The defense of North is just stifling. Whit are going for the steal. Couldn't get it. Perrain shot is no good. And then it's off of Renzelman. Tice checking back in for Renzi. Renzelman's had a nice game tonight. Playing tough defense. Scorned some points. Couple nice assists. And he's playing tough D on Moore. Galloway has it on the wing. Tice working real hard underneath against Flaten Moore. Getting in front. That a boy. Work. That's that work, Austin. Good recovery. Couldn't get it to goal. And then it's tipped out of bounds by Galloway. Honestly, I thought it went off a witter. You got better eyes than I do. Although I do wear glasses. You didn't like that one? The lead in the ball. And you're in the bonus. Lots of check marks towards North right now. Oh, good feed inside. But he's going to have to kick it out. Cross. Rare three-point attempt. Pottis with a strong two-handed rebound. Pots it in. And he's fouled. Pottis with 15 points. Witter with 15 points. And now they can get a two-possession lead here. And he got it in. Enright gets it across half court. Looking for a little bit of help. Oh, and a force. Yeah, not a good shot by Enright. And then he picks up a foul. And Tice is going to be at the line. See, now is when you could probably use your timeouts. But you don't have it. You only have one left. O'Connor walk trying to force the action. Enright especially. Max Nineman checking in for O'Connor walk. At the line is Austin Tice. You know, we've talked about all night the free throws keeping North in the game. Now let's extend the lead with free throws. Oh, yeah. You know what hasn't been in the game either is Mike Cundey either. Not in the second half. Kind of surprised that that big fella hasn't been out there either. It's a tough matchup for Crowley. It's a tough matchup for Crowley's guarding Galloway. Looking to help by Witter. The help by Jan Quart on Moore. Tice working real hard underneath. A little quicker than the big guy Flaten Moore. Perrain. Yeah, good feed inside. And Flaten Moore scores and he's fouled. And that's going to be four fouls on Brent Witter. Now for Coach Worth. I would take Witter out of the game with the lead. I would get Witter out of the game with the lead. 246 left. Schmittke at the bench. I mean at the table. But they're not. They're going to keep Brent in. Flaten Moore leads all scores now with 17 points. He's been a load in there. Jan Quart breaking the press easily. Kick over to Schmittke. Couldn't get it. Tice. Fighting. Couldn't get it. And Perrain grabs the rebound. It's at height of O'Connellock. Paid dividends there. Steal. Another steal. And a takedown. Pot has had an opening for a three. He didn't take it. And here, Worth, Eric Worth calls a timeout. North on top 216 left. It's a full timeout. With North up by one, we'll be right back. I'm not your charity case. I am not your excuse to buy a new dress for the annual fundraiser. I am not the poster charge for your big donation. I am out of debt and in my own home. I am off opioids. I'm graduating on time and on my way to a great job. I am. I am. We are. We are. We are. What it means to live united. Back at North High School, it's been an awesome high school basketball game here tonight. Referee's doing a good job letting them play North, not shooting very well, but they do have the lead. Yeah, I have North shooting about I had him a minute ago before those last two minutes at 35% in the game. They were up to 45% in the second half and they missed it. They had two opportunities here. They missed it, but O'Connell got a chance to come down and take the lead. We get another turnover. Just unbelievable live hand by the Raiders today. It'll be interesting to watch O'Connell walk and how they guard Brent Witter on this possession. This is huge. North had it up to four and then we had a three-point play by Flanton Moore. Oh, now they're going to come out in some type of trap which is, I think this helps North. North can run some clock. North can get the ball in the middle a little bit. The corner shot is going to be wide open. Schmidtke in and out of the middle looking to get the ball inside. Now it's pot-est for keeping Witter outside. Well, what happened was O'Connell walk decided to go to a trapping defense and North is running clocked. He couldn't get it again. And O'Connell walk comes away. He's had some wide open shots. He's a three-point shooter. He got to take them. Oh, yeah. He's so close. He's going to get one yet, Marty. He's going to get one. They're calling Sawyer pot-est with a foul. If you get a stop here, Marty, I think it's so big because I think O'Connell walk's going to want a foul and this is right in your wheel house to get to the free throw line to get a foul. You're a good free throw shooting team. Then it's double bonus time. I think this is a huge defensive possession for North. They've got to get a stop. That was a six-team foul. O'Connell walk will be at the line with the next North fall. Tice working real hard on Flatton Moore. North is just up on them on defense. Nobody's open. I think Galloway may have got away with the walk on the outside but now they're going to call a foul down in the lane and I think they're going to call it a one-in-one. Checking out is Conner Enright. Max Nittiman comes in. Chris, that's got to be for defense, obviously. Galloway ties it up. He's talking a lot but you've got to still make another one, son. Schmidtke, don't be afraid to shoot that wide open three again. No kidding. A miss. One minute left in the ballgame. North with a lot of time out. They could run some clock and then call a timeout if they need to. Road guarding Witter. Too far away for the five-second count. Thirty seconds left. The clock on the screen is wrong. Schmidtke almost looked like he dragged the foot. Twenty seconds left. Fifteen timeout north. I wish it had ran it down now, Chris. I don't like it. Now you've got to get it back in and set up your offense. We're all tied up, as you can see. Thirteen point two seconds left, Scott. Did we have any doubted come down to this? At the beginning, I did. No way. I'm glad you were right again. It was a war. It's been a war. Got to like your chances at home. I could see Witter going to the basket here trying to draw a foul. That's what I think is going to happen and he's a good free-throw shooter. I would think that if Witter gets it and drives to the hoop it's like, collapse city on him. He will have to kick it out and then we've got to have somebody make a shot. And Schmidtke's due. Yeah, I agree with you there. You look at the guys on the bench Pottis is a definite candidate so Schmidtke is Tanner Jankwart is. I don't think Tice is quite as much. But first order of business get the ball in. They're going to run a double screen for Brent so he can get it at the top of the top here, Marty. That's where it's going. Perrain guarding the ball. Perrain, I'd be guarding not there. I'm going to go over this side because this is just a little more difficult than we thought. There's the trap. Oh boy, 10 seconds. Schmidtke, come on back. No. And we're going to go into overtime. Not a good offensive set, Chris. Well, it came back to your thought, Marty. Get it in. Get it in bounds and they went difficult. They did exactly what they should have done is taking away the pass. It's going to come here and they did a good job of that. The Coonies did defending that and I think it was a great call by you. I liked it when they were at home when you could just make a play. Not long enough I need another color pen. Sighting ball game, Marty. Very exciting. All tied at 55 here in regulation. I'm going to head into overtime. Four minutes is a long time. The plan for tomorrow night is to cover Sheboygan Luther and they should be at home provided they win tonight. We don't have any idea what their but the score of their game is but that's the plan and that would again would be another 7 o'clock start. But let's finish business here. Parane jumping center against Austin Tice, the two fives. How about Tice getting up there to compete? May not seem like a lot but if you strike first it's a big momentum booster. Just like that. Witter open, bangle baby. Combination of winning the jump momentum hitting the shot that's such a swing to start overtime. We could ask who is guarding I'm pretty obvious no one. Witter has Parane Schmidtke gets a little bit of help from Jankford, nice play. But there's a double dribble not called. Galloway shot is no good. Witter with the board. North can build on a three-point lead. There's an interesting match up Chris. 6-6 Parane against Tanner Jankford barely six feet if that. Witter coming hard off a screen they got him a little too late though. Road doing a good job of recovering. They're putting guys on the baseline and bringing them up hard. They're not letting Witter get a clean cut off of a I'll tell you, Tice could have been called for an offensive foul and there it is. He could have got called on the screen wasn't but when he went down to pull us up that was a little too much for the official. Every time, Chris Enright has it being guarded by Jankford. Almost an offensive foul on Enright pushing off but no call I'll tell you, North is just in their grill and really frustrates the Coonies. They have no offense going. Everything they go to North is right there on every shot. Flatmore gets it inside but Tice with a steal there's where the quickness paid off. 150 left. Minutes have gone of this overtime already. Yeah and each team only two possessions. This is the third for North however. Oh almost a foul. No call. I'll tell you, you don't want to follow that guy. Perrain guarding Schmidtky real tough and now he gets called for the slap. Still bonus time. Perrain played a long time, Chris with three fouls and finally picks up his fourth Schmidtky now needing to make some free throws. Look at all the hands on their knees for O'Connell they're just beat tired. Left handed Schmidtky buries the free throw. Not a big night scoring for Max. He's had some tough luck at the three point line. Couldn't get many to go but he's played a nice game overall and he gets the second one in there North. They're largest lead of the game. Five points. 115 left. All started by getting that tip Marty. Yeah good point. Flatmore working hard. Tice working a little harder underneath and it goes out of bounds. Enright trying to find flatmore underneath. Thought he was going to come out another step and he didn't. Another turnover it's got to be well over 20 now. 24. Full timeouts got. Chris and I need a break. You're a busy man when you turn 18. But with all you've got going on don't forget to register with selective service. It's the law. It only takes about two minutes to register at SSS.gov and you can do it without even looking up from your phone just like that when you turn 18 register at SSS.gov back at North High School where the Raiders have the ball and a five point lead with one minute four seconds remaining Chris we're back to the old bugaboo for North though. They got to get the ball in. Yeah I think that they're in really good shape. They have double bonus now their defense has been just so stiff and tough. Witter has four falls that's a concern Tice has three and Pottis has three for the CUNY Parane has four Flint Moore has three You can't press this team I mean it's difficult. Schmittke gets fouled yep got to call that hit him right on the head trying to press a pressing team. Schmittke will be at the line again Chris shooting Yeah and good free throw shooting team Kahnemach with the goose egg so far here in overtime no points I would rather kept Witter outside that free throw area Chris simply because of the four falls you don't want to get a cheapy in there fighting for the ball Conor Enright coming back in for the offense For some reason the baskets is being difficult for Max tonight. Good free throw and it just in out in out this one is going to be right in. Home court bounce one minute Galloway not in a hurry to get it across half court Tice good defense not allowing Galloway to get to the basket then Pottis comes out to help Parane had it serped away by Brent Witter Schmittke wanted it because he wants to go back to the line and shoot some free throws the overtime Kahnemach four trips down the floor one miss basket three turnovers let's get him to come on Max you're better now North was so good in the first half hitting 10 of 11 free throws they haven't shot nearly as well in the second half Max gets the second one however and that's a free possession game yeah good point good feed inside to Parane and he scores on an easy one and a quick time out by the Coonies not a good time out there either do they get extra time out overtime nope you get one in plus I think you get two they're out they should be out it's a full time out but we'll keep it here Chris talk a little bit about what North has to do right now simple just get the ball in bounds and they're going to follow you I mean I think with North's quickness this is not an issue you got a smart guy inbounding the ball in Witter I don't think we should make this anything difficult just run your regular press I would rather see Witter catch the ball on a I mean I know he's got a great he's a shortstop and that kind of thing he knows he can take a time out right who do you want other than Witter who do you want to get followed go back to the line well first I take put Max back there and as I said Jancourt's going to inbound it little surprise I may be the play by play guy but I'm not so dumb because he has his head right in Pottis Tice has it is he going to take it and score yes he is good decision by Austin there's your dagger Perrain oh they're going to call it on Witter and that's going to be his fifth Brent finishes with 18 points Jake Perrain shooting the bonus he was one for one in the first half that's his only free throw there you see Brent and he had seven rebounds I know there's only so much you can do but he also had a couple of steals you know what I remember about Perrain's free throw in the first half I didn't see it but you called it man that's a flat shot because he did it exactly the same way right there but it did go in for him six point lead for North with 21.8 seconds left just run your regular press breaker it's not a good in bounce shot goes in he's got another basket North would not much of a lead and then Pottis gets followed with 7.6 seconds left and North only has three point lead you're going to join me down there right yes they were out of timeouts that's why they should have taken the timeout before all he has to do is make one Marty wrote going to be at the line he's been pretty good there tonight I got him as 6 for 6 Chris is going to go down and get some interviews for us Pottis buries the free throw and right coming in checking out is Ray Lestra North called the timeout it's a full timeout with 7.6 seconds left Chase Renzelman comes back in North it's going to be Pottis Renzelman Jankwart and Krause pretty good defensive squad going to come out there before we get to that part of the game Pottis has one more free throw Coach Worth talking to the troops on your screen however you see Jay Benish hoping for a miracle ending this team led most of the game North finally got the lead late in the ball game they actually had the lead 54 to 51 55 to 51 and then Okonomowok was able to tie it up and force it to overtime North has scored 10 points in the overtime Okonomowok only 6 Pottis again puts it in Jankwart and right 3 ball no good off the rim 3 ball put back that is good but that's the ball game North the winner 66 to 63 don't go too far from your TV sets fans Chris and I will be back with a couple interviews and then we'll wrap this ball game up mother's finances I wish we had discussed this sooner it's difficult making decisions from mom with dad gone a lot has changed seeing my

come away with the 66 63 overtime thriller what a ball game Sawyer you guys really had a battle all night that was most tough they were coming in as the 11th seed we were coming in as the 5th seed we were feeling pretty good they came out and they smacked us in the mouth a little bit I thought after half time we had a good team talk came out with a lot of energy and we really pulled it back it was a victory you know I thought you guys could have made it a little easier on yourself if you could have hit some 3's they came pretty hard in this cabal game we were stone cold we were working on 3's all week on practice we were feeling good just came out I think we had a lot of energy we were just kind of rushing in a little bit but I think we settled in and really took it to them now one of the things that makes the difference is free throw shooting in the first half you guys hit 10 out of 11 down the stretch max had a little bit of problem but when you came to the line it was pretty confident I've been working on it all season you know just coming up knowing that I had to hit it for the team just to get a dub I got to go over to Chris otherwise he's going to get mad at me and I might use up all the questions Brent let's talk a little bit about the ball game tonight first of all you tell me your plan tonight for defensively against them what was kind of the strategy because they are a big strong team oh absolutely I mean beginning of the game number 12 was kind of punching us in the mouth like Sawyer said I mean we kind of had to play him like we played Brad and I's from DePierre you know big guys were a little under size so we kind of got to all pack it in the paint when he's pulsing up so kind of zone up the backside that was kind of our plan going in and we know who their shooters were and kind of knew who we could play off of and kind of help with the post I thought tonight I no I didn't see every single game but I thought you guys defensively tonight was incredible I mean you made it so difficult what was involved today was in their drill in their face and you created 20 by turnovers the press I knew the press I was hoping it would work tonight it did but I thought tonight was an outstanding raider defensive effort sure it's something we work on every day of practice shell drill jumping to the ball kind of that like technical stuff and like health defense right so yeah communication is the biggest part I mean our communication tonight was for the most part incredible at times we didn't communicate as well but when we did it showed and we got a lot of big stops at the end now on the other hand they play D2 and they were all over you guys too and I like the fact you guys when the three pointer wasn't going you guys took it to the basket if you didn't get baskets you're getting to the free throw line making free throws that way too so a nice alternative plan getting them into follow trouble too I mean just the whole offensive thing too getting to the basket was good so our offense is getting the ball to the wing so they were kind of extending out so we had to set up our cuts and kind of get the ball so we had trouble with that right away but once we got it to the wing and started setting up our cuts our offense started to come for us and that was kind of the key for us because they were big they were stronger than us I mean started taking the ball to the hole the whole game really down the stretch like carried us so pretty much just going to the hole getting them in follow trouble and getting the free throw line hopefully tomorrow as we mentioned before those trees might fall what Soria said I think we were rushing in the beginning we got our regional game everyone's got this energy and this adrenaline going it took us a while to kind of settle in and hit some shots but again I think our sis had to be high today because there's a lot of in's and out's in and out threes and that's where we kind of live on Marty I wanted to talk a little bit those guys were talking a little bit about defense the thing I noticed tonight was your defensive rotation off the press it seemed like when you double teamed on one side the guy on the other side that was hanging back was always looking to come up and make the steal talk about that part of your zone well we play kind of you know it's called a 4D blue we kind of like push up and make the point guards going fast we start coming down the sideline then the next guy that's on ballside should come up and get the steal and coach has been really really pushing us to do that because we turned him over 13 times in the first half I don't know about the second half but it was a lot and that's what kind of made us get these clutch turnovers in crunch time Chris mentioned it in the opening he said you know there's a couple of different ways you can defend the post and one of them is put a lot of pressure on the guards and that's what you guys did today and was successful it'll be a tough game TV WSES TV sports will be doing Lutheran tomorrow night they won tonight Chris so we'll be over at Lutheran tomorrow that'll be a 7 o'clock start boys thanks a lot for coming over again north all winter and overtime 66 to 63 for the crew and my partner Chris Wright I'm Mike Martin saying thanks for watching everybody and we'll see you down the road
