 We're at Lutheran High School where tonight the Crusaders take on Cross Town rival Sheboygan Christian. Hello everybody, alongside Chris Wright I'm Mike Martin. Chris this is the third time this year the teams are facing off. It's been all Lutheran they've won by 16 and 17 points. Does that make a difference tonight however? Well I talked to Coach Decker just prior to the game. I talked to him about four o'clock and he said you know it's that third time you got to play him that third time. Being a team three times is always tough. Coach Decker knows how important it is and how difficult it is to be a team three times but he's got a squad that can do that. What do you think is the key for Sheboygan Christian to hang in there? I think one thing I saw last week when Lutheran played Usberg is Usberg committed a lot of turnovers. So if I was Sheboygan Christian I would do something that Coach Lipsy does very well is play defense. I'd really pressure those guards up the floor maybe even make Sam take the ball to court to maybe tie him out a little bit. Try to cause turnovers and off those turnovers get some easy baskets. Now I know you missed the second Lutheran Christian game and Brett Flippsy's son Zach had a really good game and basically held him in there by himself. Yeah he's having a real nice senior season this year and you know he's one of those guys that's going to have to have a big night again today. I mean that senior leadership been there on those successful teams there before you can tell some of the younger kids just what it's like here. You know for him he's going to lay it on the line because there's no tomorrow for whichever team loses. Now if Sam Decker goes off they're going to be a hard team to beat but one of the things I think personally and I think you think the same way one of the keys for Lutheran is they got to get contributions from other people. Yeah and Coach Decker was talking to me before he said we made some changes this week they didn't like everything that was taking place and so they got some new rules he said and we're going to try to change some things to prepare for the tournament but you're right I watched the second half the other last week here and it was all Sam Decker in the third quarter he got every basket and every point and in the fourth quarter five points from other members so if they're going to have a successful season and get all the way to Madison other people are going to have to contribute and finish. All right with that we're going to step out and we come back we'll have the starting lineups and the tip-off for tonight's WIA tournament game. My name is Amanda I'm 21 years old.

Back at Lutheran High School where tonight the starting back at Lutheran High School where tonight Brett Flipsy offering us some water. Anyway starting liners for the Christian Eagles. Number 10 Kyle Calvert the 6-6 junior. Number 11 Alex Tislaw a 5-10 senior. Number 22 Zach Flipsy a 5-10 senior. Brandon Wissie number 23 is a 6-1 senior and rounding out the starting five is number 33 Dustin Brower a 6-8 senior. For the Lutheran Crusaders 6-3 senior number 24 Tyler Hasenstein. Number 21 a 6-1 senior is Jacob Wheeler also a senior and going 6-2 is number 5 Dane Polk. 5-11 senior number 3 Zach Nicholson and rounding out the starting five the only junior in the starting lineup. Number 1 6-7 junior Sam Decker. Lutheran comes in with a 16 and 6 record overall. Christian is 9 and 14 and they reach this level of the tournament with a win on Tuesday over Oakfield 54 to 51. I believe that game went into overtime Chris. Lutheran played quite well and there you see in the bottom your screen Brett Flipsy and Todd Decker shaking hands. Good friends our officials tonight are Jim Van Ruden and Dennis Justice those gentlemen are from Milwaukee. Justice will pardon me. Van Ruden will be tossing the ball. A lot of hands on the ball. We're gonna give it to Lutheran. Well we'll see how nerves are here Marty. Tournament action. Christian a little experience that played the other day. Decker tried to hit his teammate but he should have kept it and just shot it he was that close. Tried to get it over to Dane Polk. Decker guarding Flipsy that'll be an interesting matchup. Wow that's something I don't remember seeing before. Well when we covered Usberg at Christian they put one of the Keller boys on Flipsy and that hindered his ability to get shots off the much taller player on him. Good help defense there preventing the drive to the basket. Tisle brings it back out on top. You know that's a good move to put it your Sam on there but what you and over and back called Decker tipped the ball and Flipsy bounced it on the in the front court and then took it back to the back court and that's what the turnover is all about right there and there you could see it on the bottom of your screen. Well I was just gonna say sometimes when you if you want to put Sam on your best player you just hope that he doesn't you know make fouls and things to get himself into foul trouble. I know it's here to put Sam in the block this is twice in a row down in the block normally you see him out on the perimeter. Good little pass to the corners teammate couldn't get it but the rebound was gathered in by Haasenstein. Nice bounce pass fourth over to Haasenstein on the line was Calvert turnover. Not their house but a little more difficult for them. Nicholson has it on top and Decker out on the perimeter now being guarded by Whissy both teams on a man-to-man shot from the corners no good tipped away and Lutheran comes away with it. Both cross court pass shot is off Nicholson on the attempt and Chris I wasn't sure did you think you think Christian was in his zone that time. No I think they're playing man up just good man too collapsing a little bit. Like I said that coach Decker is going to want to get Sam in the block a little bit more. Decker good defense here had good help on the screen then the ball is knocked away a lot of fumbling around. Good job by Whissy to save it. Tislow over to Calvert his shot is in and out. Nicholson will get it. Christian does have good side Marty. They do. Now they do go Brower at 6-8 and Zach Jensma in the ball game. Calvert about 6-6 Jacob Wheeler had it on top inside feed and good cover up defense at time by Brower. Decker shot is no good Jensma with the rebound. Wheeler no good and off of Sam Decker Christian will have it. Only two points we've played just over three minutes. The winner of this game will go on to play on Saturday night tomorrow against the winner of Living Word Lutheran and Elkhart Lake. Elkhart Lake dumped off the number two seed Hussisford by almost 20. Wheeler that time had Flipsy and Flipsy got a shot off but it was woefully short. He could see sense that right away to the shorter defender on him and wanted to get a shot off. Decker came out of the game. Wow coach Decker's not happy with his son and his effort. Stealed by Tislow. We're all tied up at two. Well that's what we talked about a turnover and a conversion on the other end and that's what Christian got there. Oh wow a lot of contact there. Wheeler trying to get the Calvert got hit in the head he's slow coming down Flipsy up and in for a quick point by Christian and they have the lead four to two. Calvert still in the middle of the lane his face is all red. Both kick out pass Nicholson shot is in. Three pointer. You know you'll watch Nicholson play and basically all he does is line up in either corner. He should be able to take that shot away because that's basically his only shot is in either corner. Rolling down to three and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter here at Lutheran High School. Christian comes in with a nine and 14 record overall. Hasenstein guarding Calvert it went off of his foot out of bounds. Decker back in and also checking in as Carl Nimmer. Coach Decker getting a lot of people in trying to keep a little fresh. I'll tell you what last week Lutheran was really worn down by that Usberg pressure and defense. By the way you didn't sound tired at the end of that game I was watching and by the way another three pointer that one by both. Eight to four. By the way my lawyers will be getting in contact with you. Stealing copyrights to my down the road. Wissie taking it to the corner. Zach Jensma with the block. Decker trying to get it down Main Street lost it. Flipsy has the control and takes it right to the hoop. Dishes it off. Brauer with an easy two. Nice pass by Flipsy. Eight to six Lutheran. Nice inside feed but better defense at time by Wissie. And they're saying the ball went off of Sam Decker. Oh I didn't see that Chris. I did not either. Well better to happen in the first quarter than the game on the line. Kislaw beating Nicholson down the floor. Eight to six Lutheran on top. Well Wissie that time I was impressed Chris because he got the ball on the wing and didn't dribble once and pick it up. He did that a lot in that second Lutheran Christian game we watched. Inside the Brauer. Pulled way over the back no call. He has got to play better defense that's just not good defense. He probably got three fouls but he only gets quartered for one. Well the key there is to play defense before the ball comes in. Not over his back then bump him twice. They're lucky he didn't get called for a foul on the shot. Hewnick in the game he snuck in when we weren't looking. Actually we might have been looking and just missed it. Kicked that time by Nicholson. Reached at the 24 second clock. How about the 147 left in the quarter clock? Wheeler back in the ball game for the Crusaders. Not a lot of scoring. Brauer has it out on top being guarded by Genzema. Flipsy left open can't get his shot to go and Decker gets the rebound but he's fouled by Brandon Wissie. I think Flipsy kind of forced on there. That Kevin Nice here averaging 12.90 game. Think you mentioned that Christian was 9 and 14. 6-11 in league play which put him in seventh. One again by Usberg. Both has it on the wing. Nicholson on top. Lutheran having a hard time solving this man to man defense by Christian. Brauer it hit off of his leg not a kick and then he almost loses it. Pulls a little metal arc lemon. Keep the ball alive. That could have been an easy basket and they didn't get anything. Yeah really exactly. Decker on a feed inside. I'll tell you not good ball handling and I think they're going to get Flipsy on the foul. Let's see what he calls. There are two players here. Yep. Zach Flipsy picking up his first foul. There you're going to see it. Watch his slap down right there. Second slap at the ball. Just three fouls. I'll tell you they're letting them play already. Yeah they definitely are doing that. Yeah it's tournament time. Well we mentioned that I think when we did the second Norse South girls game that you know letting them play a little bit was a little better. Inside feed no basket traveled by Genzema a good caller by the official nice pass by Sam Decker. Wow last week Genzema have shot up a basket down there and of course Porter missed it and that kind of started the watch the pass here. You'll see the shuffle of the feed. Well I guess you won't but believe me he did it. Good substitution there Chris getting Decker off the floor for the last 29 seconds and Flipsy mind you. And Flipsy yeah. Given the big boys' arrest. Well regardless one team has to play tomorrow. You know you want to leave it all there but got to have some something left in the tank. And how trouble is you got to get passed tonight. Yep. Just a bad pass. Yeah see what they do here. A lot of time. Nicholson pushing it up the floor. Five seconds. Good play by Poleth. His shot is off. No good. And Hasenstein going hard to the floor. No call. We're at the end of one quarter of play. Luthor on top eight to six. Almost half of all parents who suspect their child has a problem learning. Wait a year or more before getting them help. Why when there's so much they could be achieving. Kids with learning disabilities are smart. They just learn differently. Call or visit us on the web now. Excuse me Mr. Executive who studied trigonometry back in school announced it's been a huge office and drives a finely tuned luxury car. Yes Mr. only known basic math so still have an entry level job and have to live with your mother. If you need me this weekend I'll be here filling out your expense reports and time sheets because that's really the only kind of math I can handle. Great simple addition and subtraction sound right up your alley. Have a great weekend in the country sir. The starting second quarter action interesting first quarter Chris in that three different players scored for each team and one of them was not Sam Decker or Zach Flipsy the two high scores for both clubs. Pardon me Flipsy did have a hoop and good hustle there by Wissie to knock the ball away from Dane Pulf. Little more balance on the Christian side Chris. Flipsy averaging about 13 a game and Dustin Brower nine and a half and I got Calvert at about 8.8 where Luther and it's Decker at 29 almost 30 points a game and then the next high score is Wheeler and Genzema each at right around eight only. Decker second in the state in scoring. Leading all area scores Pressland so been a great season for him. Again Sam inside got it to Genzema and finally they were able to convert an assist from Sam Decker. Decker showing his versatility going down underneath and playing the post. I'll tell you Brower wants the ball. I would give it to him. Well both playing now trying to fight inside. Three seconds by Brower and Elaine. I'll tell you he was in there a heck of a lot longer three seconds. Sixth turnover on Christian. Here three of seven shooting while Luther in his floor of ten. Wissie really making it hard for Sam Decker to get through. Call an offensive foul a blocking foul on Dane Poleth. That's his second Chris. Little too aggressive on the second part of the screen. First part was okay. You mean you can't chuck in basketball. Haasenstein trap behind Brower and then a not a very good feed inside but Brower gathers it in and puts it up and in. I'd show him the money. Decker lean in is no good. Flippsy comes away with it. Decker goes down hard. He's hurt. And Genzema with the rebound. Good ball moment. Can't get it to go. Genzema couldn't get it. Calvert with the rebound. 55 is the call by Brett Flippsy wants him to run some offensive pattern. Just under five minutes left in the half. It's only 10 to eight. Luther on top. Inside the Brower. Had a player open underneath and didn't see him. Wissie was there. Wissie on a fade away not even close. Inside feed Decker kicks it back out. Nicholson again. Knit's timing nails it. His second three of the night. Yeah he threw a four from up out there and that one was from the top. Not typically where he shoots them but that one went through for him. 13 to eight. You can see what Christian is trying to do is get it inside to the smaller defender. Well that time Brower got the ball but he's so far away from the basket. When you're that tall you've got to be around that yellow box thing not way out here and the perimeter out here. Oh good block. That time by Hasenstein and then Nicholson saves it but hits it right off a Brower and it's going to be Lutheran's ball. I think this is a key part in the first half right here Chris. Lutheran came down and nailed a three to bump it up to five. Could get it up to seven or eight. Lutheran has to play tough D. Christian pardon me. Good inside feed. Jensma fake. Put it up and in. He's the X factor in the tournament. He's going to have to have a big big tournament run. Second assist by Decker. Almost a travel by Zach Jensma. Calvert forcing a shot under pressure and not a good pass there. Flippsy was right on him. Nine turnovers on Lutheran Marty. Yeah it's a lot holy cow. Decker is really tired already Chris. He may need another blow before halftime. Brower good inside feed. Basket is up and good by Josh Decker. Thirteen to fifteen to ten. Nicholson shot is no good. Decker's put back is no good and Brower gets fouled by Hasenstein. Why Nicholson shot looked right on but it was just not to be. Only the third team foul on Lutheran. Christian has two team falls. You're right. They're letting them play tonight. Tislaw has it on top. Flippsy almost looked like he shuffled a feet before he got the ball down. No call. Good hands up by Decker. I'm telling you. Brower's too high. He's got to get lower. There she's so high away from the basket. Nice pass. Inside feed. Basket is good by Decker and he's fouled. Hasenstein again. I think they're going to get Marty. It's on Hasenstein. It's his second. It is. Two fouls on Post and two on Hasenstein. Yep. Carl Nimmer comes in for Hasenstein. And nice off touch shown there by Genzema. Pardon me. Not Genzema by Stecker. I don't think Christian's going to have to do well to shoot free throws. They're just going to have to play very well tonight. So far they are. Well over the back. I think that was Calvert. That's just bad fouls Marty. Especially at this time of the year. Yeah. You'd think they'd have an idea. I mean if you can't get in front of them and he gets the ball what are you going to do? By reaching over the back like that. Wissy coming in and Brower taking a seat. Good swing of the ball. 245 remaining until halftime. Luther on top. 15 to 13. Decker. Lean in. Got it. His first basket of the night. Yeah he's one of four Marty. Not forcing things. No. Letting the game come to him. Stecker couldn't get it. Wissy with the rebound trying to clear space and does but he's going to get called for a travel instead of a foul. Referee had his choice on there on that call. 215 remaining until halftime. Sam Decker gasping out there at half court. He's really beat. Outside shot is no good. Jensma trying to get it but couldn't control it. Nimmer on that shot from the corner. 17 to 13. There you see it. Luther on top. Nimmer's only attempted 12-3s before that one all season. That one looked way off. Stecker throws it out of bounds. Once he started doing the stutter dribble you knew he was in trouble. Christian continuing in the man-to-man defense and a blocking fall on Wissy. Didn't move his feet there. That was not good defense. Nope and then you fall down and it's not going to happen. Second personal for him. They need him on the floor. Coach slips he's going to keep him in there with a buck 28 left in the half. Nicholson can't get it. Jensma up and in. Jensma looking good tonight. 19 to 13. Christian trying to push it through it out of bounds. Brower coming back in. Wissy's going to check out. Coach Decker there. Yeah you know one of the things that we've seen over the last couple times that we've covered these teams is they're not really good ball handers. They're not the kind of teams you want to have pushing the ball up and down the floor. At least not on a regular basis. Inside feed to Jensma. Another easy two. Again an assist from Sam Decker. I've got him for three assists Chris. I don't know if you're keeping track of that. No but I got Jensma four for four from the floor. Tislaw. Big basket needed there by the Eagles. 38 seconds. Decker fade away. Three. 20 seconds remaining until halftime. It's 24 to 15. Lutheran on top. Calvert from outside the line no good and they're saying it hit something on the backboard. Lutheran will get it with 13.5 and this uh they got it in the right person's hands that's for sure. Nicholson. Bangal at the buzzer. Zach Flipsey chasing down the official he wants to know why not a call on the push off but the good team play at halftime. Lutheran on top 27 to 15. Humber in John's cell phone number and um number the restaurant where we're going to be and oh I've left you my pager number two just in case because you never know. Um Johnny you have the gift.

Back at Lutheran High School where we're getting ready to wrap up the halftime. Some halftime scorer Sam. Scoring Sam Decker at five. Zach Nicholson had nine on three three point baskets. Dane Pulte had a three pointer for three. Zach Gensimo off the bench eight points and he was one of the key factors Chris had mentioned. And then rounding out the scoring for Lutheran was Tyler Hasenstein with a bucket. Alex Tiswell four. Zach Clipsy two. Dustin Brower four and Josh Stecker coming off the bench at five points for the Eagles. Key point in the game was in the second quarter when the score was 15 to 13 Lutheran and from that point on Lutheran went on a 12 to run. Tiswell's basket in the lane was the only thing that broke it up and Chris your impressions. Well those two three pointers there were just huge. The Decker one and then there's Coach Decker dressed in the troops. And then of course at the buzzer there Nicholson with that three pointer he was three of seven from out there three of eight in the game Lutheran shot 11 of 23 five of 13 from three point seven of 18 for Christian but a lot of late turnovers by Christian there at the end of the second quarter that added to that you know possible 12 to run by Lutheran. I had Sam Decker for four assist all coming in the second quarter and Lutheran scored 19 in the second quarter to break this game open a bit. Yeah Christian's really going to have to make a haul to get back in here. They played such a good first half and it just kind of fell apart like you said the last three minutes or so. Both from outside the line had a good look but couldn't get it to go and Brandon Wissie with the rebound. Wissie has his old number back 23 had a change to a 31 the last time we covered these teams. Paul's going to pick up his third and that's exactly what Chris was talking about in the first half. Not playing good post defense. Chris is shaking his head. Well he followed out of the game last week with like five minutes left. You got to be on the floor son. A good pressure that time by Zach Jensema. Good ball movement by the Crusaders but also good defense by Christian. Shot no good by Decker. Yeah he's just two of six tonight. Oh there's a walk. That was an easy call. Not even close. Nope. When he watches tomorrow morning you'll see what we're talking about. That's ten turnover there for Lutheran as nine. Good inside feed by Poth. Nicholson number three. He's the one that's had the nice first half. A good feed inside. That time I thought Jensema got away with the walk. Yes sir. First miss of the night he's four of five. Pull him. Can't shoot. Brower spins into the lane and knocks her down. Every time Marty I'd go there. He's just two for three from the floor. Every time I'd give him the ball in there. If nothing else it might help to get Sam Decker off of a flipsy. Going the other way. Charging fall on Sam Decker. That'll be only his first. Poor three man's in the game Chris with his three falls. Interesting. Twenty-seven to seventeen. There you saw it replay. Good replay Scott. For those of you watching this game tomorrow morning come out to north tomorrow night. We'll be live and watch it on 990.95 at seven o'clock. Ten to seven will probably be on the air. Oh Brower on a nice move into the lane again. Every time. Poth charging. Another turn over and that's his fourth. He wants to be out there Marty. Well he's not playing smart basketball that's for sure. Carl Nimmer comes in for Dane Poth. Four nothing run to start the second half by Christian just what they needed. Unfortunately when you look at the scoreboard they're still down by eight that's the sad part. Is here right they're playing very well here. Look at the defense inside Decker now playing on Brower. Wheeler. Tislaw committing to fall. Jacob Wheeler will be at the line in the according to my book Chris this are the first free throws by Luther tonight. I'll tell you yep these tournament games go so fast. You know we're 40 minutes in and man like within an hour twenty minutes of your game and your career might be over. Yeah exactly. I always think about that especially in those afternoon games. You know it starts at like one thirty or two o'clock and by three fifteen three thirty. That's it. Brower now on the outside taking Decker out there. Too far from the basket. Whissy. Good cover up defense that time by Nimmer and Flipsy good hustle but tips it tips it out of bounds but it went off a Luther player. Thirty second time out by the Crusaders of Luther in high school. The winner of this game will play on Saturday night at seven o'clock out at Cedar Grove Belgium and they will be playing the winner of the Living Word Lutheran Elkhart Lake Glenn Bula game that play a game being played at Living Word Lutheran and I'm not sure where that's located Chris. Now I know that earlier in the season Living Word beat Elkhart Lake by twenty two but Living Word also lost to Lutheran by sixteen seventy one fifty five. Familiar opponent for Christian and Lutheran. We mentioned this earlier but we'll mention it again. Christian is here based on their victory over Oakfield on Tuesday night fifty four to fifty one. A good tip of the hands by Nimmer. Christian will keep it. Four forty two remaining in the third quarter Lutheran up by ten twenty nine to nineteen. Flipsy being guarded by Nicholson. A good help defense by Nimmer. Awesome defense by Lutheran here and everybody fighting on the floor. They're going to get the Nicholson, pardon me, Nimmer on the line as he touched the ball so Christian will keep it. Very long possession this time. Yeah just good defense by Lutheran giving no opportunities for Christian and Flipsy. Christian just got to be a little more patient. Things will come. There it is. Brauer's shot is blocked. You think so? Flipsy looking to cover up defense inside feed to Brauer. His shot rolls off Decker with the rebound. Third rebound for Decker. Again Brauer credit just keep going to the rack there even though your first one was blocked. Well Sam Decker originally was going to take it to the basket and then he jumped in the air and looked to feed off and no one was open and he kind of got caught. Are you going to watch him look it? Looking then he tries the dish and at that point the foul occurred. Dustin Brauer committed the foul his first. Decker's feed is over the head of Zapp Jenzema out of bounds. Wow I thought Brauer got a hand on that. Must have tipped off Jenzema then, huh? That's what the official said. They're always right. Especially the umpires. We'll see. Trying to shake loose from Nimmer and had a little trouble handling the ball on the drive to the hoop. Good cover up defense by Nicholson on Jenzema or pardon me on Zapp Flipsy. Lot of defense being played by these boys and a jump ball situation pardon me held ball situation. Yes very difficult. Another long possession down here. Yeah as the time keeps ticking away they're not scoring. No, Christian's not getting any closer. Calvert on the tip play not tip play on the lob play but he got the ball back and put it in his first points of the night. Yeah he had missed his first four. Decker open from outside the line his shot rolls down. His second three. He's turning up 11. Basket is good. Is that Wissy? 32-24. 230 left in the third quarter and again not good passing by the Crusaders. That time wheeler trying to force it inside to Jenzema. You know and even if he makes the catch what's he gonna do at Stamen underneath the basket. Not in position again. Gotta be outside that block. The scoring position. 32-23. Luther. Tislau. Jump shot is no good. Ball tips off of Ego from Sheboygan Christian. Josh wheeler coming in. Time out. Full time out Scott. So a 208 remaining in the third. Luther on top. 32-23. Personal foul. Inactive activities on a glorious day. Huh? Let's get out there and play. When do I get to be in? Uh-oh. Hey Reggie. Frozen people can't talk. I'm in. There are lots of great play ideas online but don't stay too long. Back at uh Luther in high school uh Zach Flippsy talking to uh pardon me Brett Flippsy talking to the troops. There you see some of the uh Sheboygan Lutheran fans are enjoying themselves tonight. Al Holzheimer down there hurting those kids. Well just four shot attempts in the whole uh quarter for Lutheran and uh eight for Christian. Only one basket two. Yeah and we're uh six minutes in here. Good defense by Luther and they've really stepped it up uh you know every even when the Christian kids catch the ball it's always like bounce or dribbled or I mean nothing's clean for them. So the pressure of Lutheran's getting to him a little bit. Christians playing him even but you know they they can't trade baskets they gotta go you know two for one and it's just not a lot of attempts. Decker this time in the low post being guarded by Wissy and a good move that time by Sam Decker to draw the foul he'll go to the line to shoot a pair. Why this thing that's a good place for him get him drawing follows he's a good free throw shooter shooting 79% from there. You'll have to pick it up a notch if you want to play for the Badgers. So big guys are all in the 80s. Well they're gonna possibly set an NCAA record if uh keep it up. Yeah this weekend in Ohio State. Well that free throw bumps the lead back up to 10 points. Lutheran went into halftime with a 12-point lead. Christian was able to knock into it but uh they've pretty much been stalemated for a good part of this third quarter. Yeah this last three minutes of the first half really was the difference in the game because it's been pretty even besides that. Yeah that 12-2 run you're right in the two threes to end the quarter. Yeah. Flippsy nice one on one move on Nicholson there wasn't much he could do. Zach Nicholson commits his first. Brett Flippsy or Zach Flippsy will be at the line shooting a pair. My Flippsy's mixed up and uh Jensma plays for Christian but he really plays for Lutheran but I know Chris Wright is sitting next to me and here we got Steve Reiner up on top doing the top camera and Richard Bartson on the floor camera and Scott Maloff in the truck. Splittings behind us we know that. Yeah we're set we got our backs covered anyway. Oh Zach Flippsy misses a pair and Brett Flippsy can't believe it. Nimmer on a nice pass couldn't get it in. Oh trying to kick it up the floor to uh Stekker and he was open but uh the pass was behind him and a turnover by Sam Decker again trying to rush it. Tislow off the glass no good and they're going to get an over the back follow I believe it's going to go on Calvert. Wow it's going to go on Alex Tislow. Two opportunities Marty you had a break away threw it away it came down here didn't come away with any baskets on another one for two that would have make it a six point game instead you still trail by ten and the team in green has the ball. A good idea. Nimmer got the inside feed I think it was actually intended for Gensima but got tipped and Nimmer picked it up and then he got fall on the shot attempt. Nimmer another 77% shooter overall uh Lutheran shooting 71% that's pretty good shooting that is high school team they've hit four out of five so far some teams in the big east like to shoot that good and we're not talking the big east high school conference either no I think it's Georgetown struggles with their free throw shooting one of a few that pit two pit also one rolls off 34 23 under a minute left in the third quarter that was Calvert's fifth rebound and oh that one almost went to you Marty I was ready hardly touched the ball this afternoon and they're going to get Brower on the fall trying to pull us up let's see if we can get a replay of that one Scott now a little bit late but you get the idea there it is right there he's pushing them away with his off arm and undercutting them clock running 20 seconds left in the quarter Lutheran trying to run it down Todd Decker saying slow it down a little bit the idea is get it to the man Stecker on him Brower comes out three seconds to Decker look spot on but a little bit long and we're at the end of three quarters of play Lutheran up 11 34 23 introducing the all new enclave it's a minivan to the max with features like

grandeur appreciate her beauty protector for tomorrow recycle your old rechargeable batteries call 8772 recycle or visit us online at called to recycle org quiet quarter that quarter for Zach Jensma who had eight first half points and Nicholson also didn't score Decker did have four points got his point total up to nine now but not much scoring by either team no and Lutheran was one of six shooting in the quarter and they still lead by 11 yeah seven point quarter for a Lutheran an eight point quarter for Christian Sam Decker a little scoop shot no good brawler with the rebound flip see spin move got it in that was sweet his first basket a second basket of the game first of the half he has four points shot was blocked by Calvert the wheeler comes away with it fights and puts it up and in good effort once again an opportunity for Christian there kind of a wild shot they can't get the rebound effort by wheeler puts them back up by 11 good inside defense by Sam Decker on brawler they weren't able to get the feet in there there you see flipsy and the ball almost went out of bounds Calvert gathered it back and took the shot no good Decker put it up and in and a timeout a 30 second timeout by Christian with 643 remaining it's 30 36 to 27 a nine point lead for Luther I don't know it's kind of a little early to start calling timeouts 643 left he got three left but uh gonna have to do it on the defensive end as we said it's been back and forth pretty much even except for those three minutes Chris is talking about the three minutes in the second quarter when uh Luther went on a 12-2 run to finish the half and that expanded a two-point lead up to 12 good defense by Luther in the second half well brawler playing way off a genzema trying to double team on Decker on the post up little matchups over here Calvert slides over two so it's almost a triple team I don't think Luther minds this taking a little time off the clock I got a nine point lead Wheeler throws it out of bounds on the attempted post pass 15th turnover yeah they're trying to keep the ball away from Zach flipsy they had him double teamed on the in bones and Nicholson's all over him there and a tough night for Zach Decker's been on him now he put Nicholson the quick little guy flipsy looking for an opening but the good defense by the Crusaders Wheeler almost with the interception Calvert high arching shot is no good Stekler shot is blocked Stekler shot is up and in and he's fouled and they're gonna get it on Nimmer well Calvert shot that three that's only their third three at third at the third three point attempt of the game and again short they haven't hit one all night and they keep missing free throws it's three misses in a roll they've only made one out of four in the game Decker from outside the line rolls off Calvert with the rebound there's where that height paid off for the Eagles rolling under the 520 mark of the fourth quarter seven point lead by the Crusaders flipsy from outside the line couldn't get it Decker goes high for the one-handed rebound hit six and wissy trying to block his path there's a good post feed kick out Wheeler can't get it in i'll tell you that christian is getting plenty opportunities nice feed inside to calvert fernesey to Zach flipsy and all of a sudden it's a five point lead christian making their run time out luther we got ourselves the ball getting here while christians had so many chances marty missing free throws and different things but i'll tell you they uh hanging in there they definitely are doing that i think you make a really good point about the free throw shooting because uh right now they uh they being christian has six team falls luthern has five you got to imagine that with 445 remaining both those teams will be in the bonus and uh free throws will be a key part into the house come Jake Stengel and Shaq Francis and Reed Conter fashionable really it well you know it's like the NBA just watch the last two minutes there you go that's what my wife does chavoigan luther and marty two of 11 in the second half yeah they had one basket in the entire third quarter that was a three-pointer by decker and so far wheeler has a basket for their only uh points in the fourth quarter while the christian fans believe it's a 8-2 run here in the fourth quarter they're gonna have to get a stop after stop though back cut by nicholson and he's fouled good backdoor cut wissy i think you're right on spot on man his third seventh team fall Nicholson will be at the line shooting a pair as i said he's their third best free throw shooter hit five out of seven free throws in the game they get five out of eight ball is knocked out of bounds they're lucky because they could have got both with number five yeah both back in the game how about that flip see getting out of the double team and then goes right around decker brawler trying to go inside but good defense one time flip see for three that was huge oh that was huge inside feed the decker trying to get it up but he's fouled here call it on the floor marty but that is the ninth team following christian which puts sam decker at the line shooting one plus one yeah one plus one it's 37 34 christian making a huge run that free throw by nicholson broke us eight broken eight six point run by the eagles good substitution here wissy coming in for calvert one of five from three point range for christian they're gonna have to get some guys to make some decker puts them both down it's 39 34 five point lead again we're under four minutes left in the ball game mike martin along with chris right bringing you the game tonight wia tournament action inside feed the brawler show me the money jenzema has to back off now Luther doesn't have to panic here they do have a three point lead only traveled inside the jenzema he missed the bunny and they're all over these guys and wheeler's going to get called for the fall on tislaw that'll only be the sixth fall on lutheran jenzema had it all going in the first half four for four but that's his second miss here in the half sam decker guarding flipsy on the in bones pass good catch by wissy right at half court being guarded by polo good idea to put decker back on flipsy since he's starting to feel it going right into a double team though good strong move get in there couldn't get it but he's fouled wow good effort good effort christian is really exposing the defense of limitations of lutheran because they uh out hide them and when they put decker on the outside then they look to go inside when they put him on an inside player then flipsy goes off well i like the fact he went hard to the basket with authority but again another missed free throw want to look back at it boys gotta make him two out of six they've made 39 37 rolling down to the three minute mark left in the ball game decker with a stutter step he gets fouled on the shot attempt he'll go to the line and shoot two dustin brauer picks up his third sam decker has made his last four free throws it's four out of five on the night chance to go five out of six and does he's been money so far here in the fourth quarter on his free throw shooting lutheran up by four stecker been a good player off the bench chris breath flips he wanted to follow on his son and sam gives a little smile i don't know if it was because he got away with something or not oh there's somebody a lean in zack flipsy with a great shot let the officials good call they're not to call anything though decker from outside shot rims off brandon wissy with the board big board rolling down to the two minute mark wissy shuffled his feet oil boy you know you're 20 this is the 24th game of the season and you can't dribble the ball without traveling time out by christian with exactly two minutes left i was him i would have shot it what the heck put in that three checking to see if it's a 30 or if it's a full so 30 second time 30 second time out so we'll keep it here we got ourselves a ball game here chris wow you just wonder if christian can never get over the hump you know they work so hard to get there and then uh they seem to always follow lutheran and they keep making their free throws zack flipsy now with nine points seems like he should have more but he only had two in the first half none in the third quarter and seven here in the fourth quarter so far yeah four of seven shooting marty the seven shot attempt one of those being a three pointer under two minutes lutheran on top by two there you see it on the top of your screen decker gliding through the lane down the baseline i mean for two flipsy should have stood up there and taken a charge yet you knew where he was going first you let him go right and you had a chance to step up early and you didn't flipsy pulls up bangled wanted to follow no call 43 41 rolling down to 120 well you know who to follow if you're christian you got to get closer there's not going to be a five second call here too far away tick tick tick tick tick tick i don't like this so it's pretty hard for a high school team to just run down clock we're at one minute mark and then we get a follow on a trip you got to get somebody to get from christian to get double t here you're going to see it so he doesn't get sam doesn't get the ball at time let anybody else he actually got followed by a brawler first and then stecker was the one that got him down stecker is going to pick up the fall that's his first and oh nice roll that's called the home rim roll i don't know why they even let him get the ball and that one he couldn't get in three point lead by the crusaders i'm going for two points here 50 seconds left good hands by sam decker tipping that pass away flipsy on a lean in short armed it ball tipped around jonesama giving it to decker exclamation might be able to see that one on youtube but flipsy talking to the official wanted to follow didn't get it whoever got that rebound is going to be huge it was tipped around tipped around luther got it and here's the exclamation point 29.8 seconds left it's a full-time mallacle we'll keep it here that's got to be pretty close to the last one for christian yeah i told you they took them way early now you need them and you don't have them big big rebound there marty there's the flush yep i thought there was a lot of contact down there marty yeah i've got uh well sam decker's come alive here in the second half especially here in the fourth quarter with his free throw shooting and uh that last dunk shot and he also had a basket just prior to that he's got the last five points make that nine points for uh the crusaders 14 on the night so far one time out left for christian this is all being hounded by uh nicholson they got a hurry you got a hurry you got a hurry you don't have time boys decker is starting up flipsy again too much time 16 15 you two baskets no shots blocked by decker and throw it away decker time out with six seconds left scott any chance we can see though that last uh few seconds of action brett flipsy wanted a foul and uh no call let's see what happens here i don't think there's a foul he had it blocked and then it was thrown away right this decker and he put it up and in good replay scott that's one of those hustle rebounds that you just tried to save the ball but unfortunately went right to the uh christian player that would be the last time out for uh the eagles lutheran still has a few left good move by uh todd decker to uh put uh sam on uh zach flipsy that last position though yep yep i think he wanted to follow follow on the follow through but i think it was just a momentum of the block yeah it i thought it was the way in the context of the way the game has been called you're not going to call it no no and like you said earlier and i think it was a really great statement yeah it's tournament basketball yeah but if there's a foul you usually get the more experienced officials and you know and they let them play a little more yeah but i don't think there was enough to call anything there well i'd put my best thrower time out now lutheran calls a timeout to set up on the inbounds play a good good maneuver there you know the way it looked if uh you'd get a little bit of space from the guy guarding the inbounds you could throw one deep because they're all up into the forecourt i'd even do something like how they are set up i'd come across at midcourt set a string and maybe go to the opposite corner some you just want to make sure you catch it or it's in bounds yeah don't throw it out of bounds where they get it back underneath their basket right six seconds left though and one more time on the flush no this is not sports center highlights this is wscstv highlights highlights you know what do you think of uh i think kary and scott maybe we should get a highlight show really well they're thinking about doing classics classic games steve riner running the top camera richard barton on the floor camera sam scott mailoff in the truck your color man is uh what's your name chris right and i'm mike martin and uh it's not a great game not a lot of scoring although i did go up into the second column of my sheet so i'm pretty happy about that just think that was lucerne's third basket of the half wow a lot of free throw shooting oh yeah let's get rid of it son it's five seconds wow wow we throw it down the court really come on you gotta have better judgment than that christian's out of timeouts so you better draw some up into sand you don't have that much time when there's no sand on the court get on calvert he's a three-point shooter good idea wheeler commits the fall and they'll be shooting the one-in-one good idea well he didn't do very good on the inbounds pass but he made a smart play there calvert on the line he hasn't shot a free throw tonight chris and it's a one-in-one best he can do is get him to within one point oh you gotta miss the second fact the first genzema free throw shooting is going to be the next factor well i'll tell you i mean decker's got to be the player of the game but genzema is right behind him he has had a very nice game tonight topping it off with that strong rebound on the miss free throw he can make a couple of free throws here he would solidify the game only needs to make one and that's the ball game 22 percent from the free throw line on the season hey he's up to 30 percent on the season and for the seniors for christian they played a heck of a game and it's going to be tough tonight but you should be very proud of your efforts boys oh nothing but the bottom of the net for a 30 percent free throw shooter wissy shot is off the glass well good and christian drops their second tournament game to shabuigan luthern by a score of 48 to 43 what was a very entertaining basketball game tonight chris right is taken off to uh see if he can get some interviews everyone has

Are you feeling blue? What's wrong with being blue? Well, where should I start? If you're a teen dealing with stress, there's help. Visit the Will Rogers Institute website for a free booklet about teen stress and how you can de-stress your life. Welcome back here, Zach Tendema. Great game for you. I think you were like five or seven from the floor tonight, and then you got those big clutch free throws. Congratulations on the win tonight. How do you feel? Great. It was awesome. Well, you make a lot of hay down there in the middle in the paint there. You get nice passes there for you, and you just got to put the mail in the bucket there. Yeah, passes are always great, so that's how I get my points, because there's just great passes. 22% from the free throw line, and you got to make the two clutch free throws and then bang them all home. It was exciting, so God's given me a great opportunity to play, and he's kept our season going, so it's just great for being a senior, playing here, it's just great. Got some rebounds and things tonight too, a lot of big ones when you need it. You got it somewhat, you know, when they needed, you know, for you to get some rebounds when they were climbing back in there, you got there. Yeah, Coach told us that we need to play with more heart out there than there, and you know, I was just giving it all I got, so, and everyone was, you know, we just, we got to play as a team to keep moving on. Well, congratulations to you. You had a great, great game. You can stay here a little closer, and maybe you thought, huh, Sam? Yeah, it was a lot closer. Hey, but they play hard. They always have given us their A game this year, like every team, and got to give props to them for coming to play and battling back, and kind of lucky to squeeze this one out. Neither team played exceptional, but wins a win, so. Let me say this, you guys, the offense wasn't going, but I'll tell you that second half, that's some of the best evens I've seen you guys play all season. Yeah, we had to focus on stopping Flipsy and Brower, mainly because those are two threats. Flipsy is an outstanding guy off the dribble. He can create shots, so we just had to focus on locking down and not letting them outwork us, and I think we did that mainly through the whole game. I thought you did a nice job on Flipsy. You got a limited, you know, bigger guy, and then you put Nicholson, he's quick, so I mean, made it real tough for him. He got some tough baskets there at the end, but you know, constantly put fresh guys on there, I think, Hal. Yeah, with good scores, you just got to throw different angles at him, first half. I thought I did pretty well on him, and so then we put Nicholson on him to slow him down because I wanted to get on Brower, and then we switched right back up and kind of got him out of his rhythm a little bit there at the end, so. You guys have had a great season, real special season, and with your team here this year. Yeah, we've had a good season. The past two years have been gone great. Hopefully our season's not over tomorrow night, as we hopefully get that regional final, then head on to sectionals, and we're going to get a bunch more wins here down the road. Well, congratulations on your season. I would like to talk to the coach here in a second. Coach, come on in. It's another game, it's another day, you get to play tomorrow. Well, it's tournament time, and I was telling our guys they were a little down in a locker room because we didn't think we had our A game tonight, but hey, like you said, it's tournament time. We're still on, we're still going, we got to practice tomorrow, and we found a way, and that's what you've got to do. You've had a lot of experience with that, and it's a win. And now we go on and see what we can do in regionals. I talked to Sam, I said to defense tonight, especially in the second half, you guys, your boys really stepped up. Yeah, we did. I thought that the first half, two, we said six in the first quarter, and then nine in the second, and boy, that's 15 points. I said defense wins tournament games. They had a lot of junk defenses and two different things at us, and that's tough on these guys. And with that pressure all the time, and then doing some things offensively, we're not used to bad hurts, but credit Christian, man, they gave it their all, and those guys played tough also. Obviously, Sam's going to get his points, and he really stepped up in the third quarter, but I thought, overall, you've got a lot of contributions from a lot of your team tonight, especially in the first, second, and third quarter, and then the big rebounds later on too, but really a team effort tonight. Yes, and Zach Nicholson especially, he blew on his ankle last night, no one knew that, and we taped it up. We didn't even know if he was going to play, and he had a great start for us. Genzi got us going, and those passes aren't as easy as they look from Sam sometimes, but he keeps plugging away. Dane Poleth, two playing against a six-eight kid. He did well with that, and I got a little bit of follow trouble, but hey, we're still playing, and we're happy about that. In El Carter living word, and hopefully we can talk about some things with the coaches tonight, and get after. We're at Cedar Grove, we've played there plenty of times, and there's a lot of history in that gym, so we're looking forward to the challenge. Congratulations to all you gentlemen. Good luck in the tournament. With that, we'll send it back to Marty. Some scoring from tonight's game, Kyle Calvert and Alex Tislow each had four points. Zach Flippsy had 11, and made some outstanding shots in that second half. Brendan Wissie had three. Dustin Brawler was a force inside, had 10, and Josh Stecker off the bench had 11 points. He had a nice night. For the Crusaders, the Sheboygan Lutheran, Sam Decker had 18 points, let all score. Zach Nicholson had 10, nine of those coming in the first half. Dane Poleth had three points. Carl Nimmer had a point. Jacob Wheeler had four. Zach Gensema, you saw him in the interview after the game, had 10 points, made the two free throws at the end to seal the victory. He had eight points in the first half on four for four shooting. And Tyler Hasenstein rounding out the scoring for the Crusaders with two. A 48 to 43 win by Lutheran runs their record to 17 and 6. Christian ends their season with a record of 9 and 15. Our next game will be Saturday night when Green Bay East visits Sheboygan North. Any future tournament games that we cover will make announcements in the paper for you there. Lutheran will play the winner of Living Word Lutheran against Elkhart Lake. That one took place tonight. We don't know who won that game. And for the crew, Scott Maloff running the dials in the truck. Richard Bartzen on the floor. Camera, Steve Reiner on the top camera. For my partner, Chris Wright, I'm Mike Martin saying thanks for watching, everybody. And we'll see you down the tournament road.
