• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hey guys, coming off the bench would be starring for other teams in the conference.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really good chance for a nice postseason run this year.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And even without sugar going forward, the future is even brighter for Oak Hill.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Same for Blackford and their Star Soft Mormari Legit.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Didn't have his best game on Friday night, but he didn't finish with 20 points in ad.

• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: With three pointers on the Golden Eagles first two possessions, he finished with a double double of 11 points and 12 assists.

  [SPEAKER_01]: You can really run the brick.

  [SPEAKER_01]: They can really run the fast break, man.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Wiltonagol is a freshman and he had a three-point play on an assist from J. N. Y. O.P.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: who picked Reggie Durins, pocket, to put, okill up 11 to 5, before Mason Kitterman answered.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: He got in the lane and got a roll to cut it to 11 to 7, before perhaps the highlight of the night for Blackford.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: legate poke the ball away into the hands of Jacob Dillon who threw the ball ahead to legate for a monstrous slam dunk, 221 left in the first quarter and it was O'Kill 11 blackford nine.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Those were legates only two points of the first quarter.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Jason Tonicle scored his sixth and seventh points of the first period on a fast break leg up on an assist from his brother.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's 13 to 9 after the first quarter and it was immediately 18 to 9 after Luke Elzinga hit a three pointer on O'Kill's first position of the second quarter and C'mon they Simmons followed with a fast break layup 655 left and the second and O'Kill was doubled up on black for an 18 to 9

  [SPEAKER_01]: And Mason Kitterman hit a three pointer.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: To cut the gap to 27, 23, but that's when Sugar got really hot.

  [SPEAKER_01]: He hit a three pointer, a baseline drive, a fast break layup, and suddenly Oak Hill
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: maybe hit a three pointer on and assist from Simmons with one 15 left and O'Kill had his first double digit lead at 34 to 24, it was 36 to 26 and half time after the two teams combined from 40 points in the second quarter and then the third quarter started the exact same way neither team could miss, Dylan scored the start to have on a back door pass,
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: to start the half.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Legged then scored eight consecutive blackford points to get the Bruins back within five points.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: With five, four to eat left to go in the third quarter, suddenly leg it was on fire and the Bruins were in within reach and he was up to 18 points, but Jason Tonnego hit a three.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then sugar caught fire and blackford never got closer.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: put Oak Hill up 11, and he hit another to put him up 14 with 227 left, and he scored on a fast break layup to put him up 16, and another 3.5 to 1.35 to go.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Reggie Durin had a couple of three pointers early in the fourth quarter, but 17 points is as close.

• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Please stay tuned for Blackbird Head Coach Air and Daniels.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, Oak Hill fans, we are implementing this new approach to podcasting in the CIC, and we are looking to add a podcast for every school in the CIC, and if everything goes according to plan, we're doing that pretty soon.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: You started at Frankton, Elwood, and added Blackford, and it's gone really well, so hopefully sooner rather than later.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well coach, about the middle of the third quarter, you had to feel pretty good about where you were and then RJ Sugar just went crazy.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we really, we did not do a very good job of sticking to the game plan.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: We really wanted to make them drive and keep them in front and have to kick out to contest the tutors.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Instead, we pressured far too high and they got into our defense deep and kicked it out to wind up and shots.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: but they did not miss.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they had 13 on the game and the sugar kid.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think six of them and they they were just with they were open.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: They went in and they're a really good basketball team.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: We kind of just ran into a bus all the night.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think we played all that bad.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would miss some shots and we got exhausted, but that's kind of what I'll do to you.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: It turned over.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Big issue.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think we had 12 or 13 and actually you can see my go kill.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: We thought 12 was kind of the sweet spot for us.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: We thought that if we could keep it under 12, they pressure so well, but really when we got tired, we we turned it over in crucial spots and you know, it seems like a ton when you turn it over on back to back possessions and you know, every time we'd make a little run, we'd go on a 5-0 run and and they, you know, we'd turn it over twice in a row and they'd hit back to back threes and it just would go right back and so.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: We had a lot of timely turnovers and we've got to do a better job of taking care of the ball and we're not very deep as it is and and you know our back up big off the post is I just couldn't fly much tonight third their speed really hurt us and it was hard to get him in the minutes.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know 23 point you think maybe you won't see a lot of positives but coach there there was a positive is out there.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, absolutely.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: We had it to 10 points at the half and we went to the half and and some things that we talked about ahead of time, some transition points.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: They probably had 60 10 at the half and transition and I told the kids, you know, hey, if we stick to what we're doing here, oh, it's a four point game.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now it's a two point game.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so there was a lot of positives and when you exert that much energy, trying to get back into a ballgame down 10 and trying to do those things, really hurts you late.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so yes, the score is not quite indicators of how I sealed a night.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like we played better than that.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so there's a lot of positives that we can take from the night and grow on.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it gives you a really good gauge of, you know, one of the top teams in the class, right?
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think what it does is it, you know, we did not fall a game plan very well.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think our kids now when we watch the film and we go over it, they're going to realize it gets really good teams.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: You cannot just rely on your athleticism.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: You really have to lock in to what we're trying to do.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it'll get our kids, you know, they'll see the kind of the writing on the wall there of what we need to do in order to be successful.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it'll help us in the long run and just, you know, game planning and getting the kids to understand.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we've lost five out of seven.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: We've got a tough stretch coming up.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I like where we're at.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: team that might just win the summit league in for Wayne and tonight or so it's not getting it get in easier no and and we if we can come out of this and continue to learn we're going to be better for it yes nobody wants to lose games late in the year and you want to get hot going into the tournament but like tonight was a you know fantastic crowd it's a great atmosphere it's it's an environment that you want to be and when when it's come time for sectional so you know what that's like and I expect all
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Snyder, they're going to be the same kind of way.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be tough environments.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be tough games.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: As long as we can continue to power through and not give in, and not kill our confidence, we're going to be better for it on the back end.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I think our senior leadership's so important.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to continue to lean on them and continue to work.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we've got to find a way to win a couple of ball games.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's great to be in those environments this late in the season.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, a couple of tough games coming up next weekend.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a full week off, though,
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: those two games.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: What do you want to see from your team between now and next Friday?
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I want to see us take something from tonight.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to see a watch film going to practice refocus.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I want to see a execute game plan better.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's really what comes down to some things that
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: You can't let O'Kill do, we did tonight.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: We let them do that and we kind of straight away from our game plan a little bit.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so I want to see them really by and to what we're trying to teach them because we've got the talent.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: We've got a lot of athletes, we've got good players.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just want to see them take what we do Monday through Thursday and go out on a Friday night and execute our game plan.
• 14:02
