• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then my conversation with Elwood Head Coach Ryan Vance Coward.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am here at Elwood High School with Grant Shouse of the Action Sports Network who just called Alexandria's 65-24 win over Elwood and Grant it was just absolute domination by Alexandria in particular, particularly defensively in the second half.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Both games were both the boys and the girls games were pretty similar and the boys won 65-24.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: The girls won 58-12.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, defense travels, I think, for a lot of teams.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: It traveled a night for both the boys and the girls teams.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Marty Carroll's team, you know, two weeks off had it played.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then played the weird stretch there.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: They played the Ed and Burke tournament.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: We were there for that.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then played in the holiday classic, you know, your plan.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: you're playing six games in like three days, four days, and that really does a toll on high school kids, especially during the holidays.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I think that was kind of designed to have all of last week off, not play and just rest, and you know, have a couple days off and come in and this week getting a lab and get ready for a conference game.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they play such a tough schedule, and you know, for them to be able to come out after the break and dominate the way they did tonight's really impressive.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a fairly competitive game for about a quarter and a half.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, Elwood kind of hung around there.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think talking Marty there after the game was pretty mad.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty mad.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: A half time at it.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kids, I think.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, for him to, you know, get this kid's regrouped and because I asked him, I said, would you tell your kids a half time ago?
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought of my love him.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he goes, do you believe me?
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said, no.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: He goes, when you be right.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't get staffed as a good job at keeping expectations where they need to be with their team.
• 4:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: You look at what Jackson brisen dined in the night 15 points to lead them.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cam Mac at T-Sword 14, Bryson Eccler scored 11.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, the defense just shut them down.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: 14 points in the first half for Elwood only nine in the second half.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of guys got in the scorebook.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: The one guy I thought did a good job for them was Blaze Jones coming in and handling the ball.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alex Andrew again just kind of let him linger around and hang around for half and then went for the jugular in the second half.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Blaze Jones 7 Connor Wooten 5, a couple of underclassmen on a senior dominated team.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: 6 and 6 through 12 games with the way the schedule looks it's going to be a rough couple of games coming up.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they're going to have a chance to get the double digit wins for the first time in a decade.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be something to really celebrate here.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, just to win a game, you have to celebrate the fact they've won six.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I can remember so many teams here, and you can, too, over the years that just, you know, have struggled to just find wins, string one, two wins a season together, especially in the late 2010s, they're early 2020s, and, you know, they've kind of done the old, you know,
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ty the eye year for it and it has been the old eye you football here a little bit change the way people think change the culture and you know I was talking with Ryan for the game and he said that you know it takes seven to eight years for these rebuilds and we are exactly where we thought we would be and need to be in year three or four to really get and really rebuild this the way we want to rebuild it and
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, again, the numbers are good, they have more kids out playing basketball than they had on the football team this year, which is kind of surprising, I think, a lot of kids want to play basketball here now and that's a good thing.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, look at the English, who wouldn't want to play in this haven?
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's a lot nicer than it used to be.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can tell you that.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I remember it, you know, dark, dingy.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Beautiful this place is, man.
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's red, white and blue.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And all right, before we go, pretty patriotic.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: It really is.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's great to be an Edward Panther.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Before we go, Grant, talk about the job if you don't mind that Ryan Vanskyok is doing here at Elwood.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's, again, it's night and day to what it was when he came in.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: The turnaround they've had just watching it from the outside, watching it from an outsider's perspective is pretty cool.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty neat.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was fortunate to grow up at Oak Hill where, you know, the way it is now is the way it was when I was a kid.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been so consistent.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, you have to have a great leader at the top.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a direct thing.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they have here, and the job he's done is pretty remarkable.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of people aren't talking about it, right?
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, we're talking about it locally, but statewide, people are not.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Haven't really noticed this, I don't think.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Elwood's noticed.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Elwood has noticed, and they should notice, you know, they're this tonight and credit Alex Andrews for the people they brought.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was the largest crowd I've ever seen in this gym.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a really nice night and Ryan's then a nice job.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Getting people in the door, despite sometimes not having the best product, they're sheer at least they are competitive, so it's good to see.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, anyone's nice.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: We hadn't won a game in the conference, so... What's that sauce like that?
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: The game on the road.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Kids 10 miles apart.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now we shall roll back on the table.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: And this is after kind of the two week I ate as here.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: You guys eager to get back out on the four and a night and your defense really played well with that.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought the offensively would have been a good night.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought the two week lay off.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe hurt us a little bit, just trying to get into the flow and trying to get the ball in transition.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: got the ball down which you got to get a stop and then in a rebound did not let the turns
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: We welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report, Elwood Head Coach Ryan Vanskiyaka, a little later than expected.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Coach was a late night with the game, a boy's girl's double header, and a bit of a frustrating night.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was just felt like we shot ourselves in the foot.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: We felt like we did a lot of great things that we talked about.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: We had it down to a reasonable mountain
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: We give up a three at the end of the quarter in the first and we gave up a three at half time and you could just see our energy fell apart a little bit We did a great job of handling the pressure and then all of a sudden the third quarter starts and man it was just for about three minutes Not great basketball by us turn over score by them turn over score by them and the game just got kind of out of control
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: I take blame for that as a coach.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: I got to do better job with our kids.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: For whatever reason we weren't ready to go in the third quarter.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we got to get back to the drawing board.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: One thing we did tell our kids was the proof is in the pudding.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: We felt like they played the way they wanted to play our kids.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: And when they play that way, we're not very successful.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: And the proof was on the pudding.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: We got out scored by 30 points on the second half.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: And 22 to two, maybe, 24 to two in the third.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: I can remember what it was.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: If they were just focus and listen and pay attention and be coachable, what this team could be.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we're not giving up hope on them.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: after the game in the locker room we felt like it was a good discussion and a lot of people got stuff off the chest they needed to and we got to get back to the drawing board but the the message to them is if they would allow us to coach them what they can be and they kind of seen the night I was not in the 34th quarter on them and have high expectations for them like it usually do.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: and the proof is in the pudding is the way they want to play is not very successful for us.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: Will it be a learning experience for us?
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: We hope so.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to come in tomorrow morning at 7.30 a.m. and spend time and try to prepare and get ready for a missile wall and work on ourselves a little bit.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: If a lot, we were playing really good in the tournament, and then the mock person we felt like we played really good and came up short, and then this last week and a half has just been really bad basketball, and we got to get back to what we were great at.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: The good news is just two games in the next 14 days, you're going to get plenty of practice time.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: The bad news is the next two games are really good teams on the road.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and, uh, Tuss, we tell our kids, this is the challenge you want, Alexander and the Senate while Frank can all three in the row.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: These are the type of teams you got to be.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: So to win a section, unless you get the buy, you're going to have to win a Tuesday night Friday night Saturday night.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: So these are the games.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: These are the type of opponents that you have to be half up sets.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we let one get away with this in Alexandria and credit to them, Coach Carroll does a great job and they play it and execute it and deserve to win how they did.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: We got to get back to the drawing board and do things that work right at and we feel like these teams are going to make us better and go to pushes and hopefully allow us to continue to try to get better on the things of handling pressure and taking smarter shots and getting tempo and if we can do that we feel like we have a chance in the section with what we got but again we have to start doing
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Coach, we will talk to you again on Wednesday on the old Panthers report and get to know some of your kids.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was a lot of fun this week.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: Now we appreciate everything you do.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: I know the kids really enjoyed it.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: We don't get much publicity and I would.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: So you've been tremendous and what you've meant for our kids and our school and our program of just giving the opportunity For people to understand where our kids come from how great of kids that we do have The battle and the universities that they had the fight for the everyday so Cued us to you and what you mean to Madison County
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: and we hope more people continue to listen because you are having a true impact on our kids and on their lives and for that we are forever grateful and we want you to know how much we do and really appreciate it.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well Ryan, thank you so much that it was awfully nice of you and you'll probably hear later on this podcast Grant and I had similar words for you and the things that you are doing for Elwood in the community and as always it's great to be an Elwood Panther.
