0:00
[SPEAKER_05]: You are listening to a special edition of the Central Indian Esports Report, our recap of day one of the sectional at Elwood on Tuesday night.
0:10
[SPEAKER_05]: With Michelle Garment of the Tipton Tribune and Elwood Colleater, and Coaches, Fanzo White of Taylor, Kevin Cherry of Lappelle, and Brent Blobston of Franklin,
0:28
[SPEAKER_05]: with his thoughts on a great atmosphere on Tuesday night and facing the lapel bull dogs who looked incredible on Tuesday, in Friday night's semifinals.
0:41
[SPEAKER_05]: It was an incredibly fun night at Elwood, who is a great host.
0:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Before we get to all of that,
0:49
[SPEAKER_05]: I wanted to let you know about my daily podcast Greg and his friends talk sports.
0:53
[SPEAKER_05]: 20 to 30 minutes every day.
0:55
[SPEAKER_05]: My friends and I are talking about whatever central Indian sports fans are talking about.
0:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Whether it's the Pacers, fever, colds, IU, Purdue, Indie car, major national sports, and of course, high school sports, focusing on the CIC, Tipton, Anliopel.
1:12
[SPEAKER_05]: We also had a recap of the East Brook sectional with Grant Shows with Blackford and Burst getting wins.
1:19
[SPEAKER_05]: and we'll be back on Friday night with recaps from Elwood and East Brook once again, also of course on Saturday.
1:26
[SPEAKER_05]: One last thing, there are parts of this podcast where it sounds like I'm yelling, even though the background sounds quiet to you, I promise you it was very loud when we were doing the interview, so a couple of the coaches and I may sound like we're screaming at you, I promise we're not, sorry about that.
1:48
[SPEAKER_05]: a special oad sectional day one recap i'm your host Greg men get here with Michelle Garment of the tipped and for bune and elwood collider and Michelle we knew we were gonna have a great game tonight we turned out to be the wrong one lapel blue out franken in the game we thought was the game of the night and then Taylor tipped and was a thriller
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: it was.
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It really was a thriller.
2:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to give credit to tips and first-year coach Tommy Newton and the Blue Devils because they came out ready to play against the Titans and they took a right-at Taylor right away scored for 7 points of the game.
2:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Afterwards when I was talking to coach they were really for over three quarters.
2:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It was they really controlled the game and then at Taylor
2:35
[SPEAKER_01]: late in four-quarter and then in the overtime and Javon Harris in particular.
2:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I said he was no offense because I paid an all-or play a heck of a game and I swear.
2:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
2:50
[SPEAKER_01]: But Javion Harris was the best player on the floor.
2:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he kind of did the Tipton one.
2:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Grady Carpenter did the Taylor one year ago.
2:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He'd just kind of took it over and you know, he was run the show.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I made the comment that in a couple times I thought in the second half, Harris put up some threes when his legs, he didn't have his legs and they were short, but when they really needed it there for a quarter over time, he, when he was holding the ball and he had that wide open three, but he didn't, he waited in his teammate cut on the back door cut, baseline, he fed him for a layup.
3:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Big play and that just shows the kind of shows a maturity of Harris because I've seen him for the last, you know, play for the last two or three years and I've seen him take that three and not wait for that back.
3:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a testament to his maturity.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's also a testament to what Fonsa White has brought to the Titans this year.
3:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they are very disciplined and, you know, they did not exhibit frustration anything like they have in the past.
3:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He's done a really good job with.
3:59
[SPEAKER_01]: pretty much their body language and everything.
4:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, but tipped and I'm heck, Peyton Aller, Stellar, Dakota Garmin was the was Stellar tonight.
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in big threes for the blue devils.
4:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not what they expected.
4:12
[SPEAKER_05]: Probably up there, ma'am.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So he had.
4:15
[SPEAKER_01]: some big-time shots.
4:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Eyes at Cumberick Cowell said his final game.
4:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Tonight, he did, he was outstanding on the boards again.
4:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been outstanding here of late.
4:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I think over the last three weeks, almost every game has been a double digit rebound game.
4:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And so the Blue Doubles gave Taylor everything they wanted, but in the end that athleticism is really hard to beat.
4:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, they typically did do a good job.
4:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Aller and Garmin on Galaway, and look at that.
4:43
[SPEAKER_01]: McClatchy.
4:44
[SPEAKER_01]: McClatchy.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: But Taylor got a big step up performance from True Blood tonight.
4:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he was eight points.
4:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and I mean two huge threes for them at different times.
4:55
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Michelle, it's here for him coach White.
4:56
[SPEAKER_05]: And then we will talk about the matchup with Sheridan and Taylor on Friday.
5:01
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, Coach, well, I'm guessing that wasn't how you drew it up.
5:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we knew it was gonna be tough.
5:06
[SPEAKER_04]: We just didn't think we didn't know it was gonna go to overtime.
5:09
[SPEAKER_04]: But we had discussed it yesterday that it's not gonna be like it was when we played that tip to it.
5:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you knew it was gonna be tough.
5:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Our new coach knew it was gonna have those guys ready to play.
5:18
[SPEAKER_04]: And their thing was, was to take out Drake and make sure they hold Javier on in place and then also hold Kishan.
5:25
[SPEAKER_04]: But obviously Javier on took on the slack of the other guys and the other guys just had a chip in enough
5:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Trubleck came up big.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of left him open and he, he's great boys and he buried some big kick shots for you.
5:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, he's one of those guys that we relied on early in our miss shirt, just he's the only one six in a row.
5:44
[SPEAKER_04]: And I told him nice, if we need to step up as a senior and if we pass you the ball, we need you to knock those shots down like you said, be knocked down a few threes there and there.
5:52
[SPEAKER_04]: And he was able to show that boys as a senior and help us out.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Because what, what did you tell your team down four in the four quarter there during the couple of those time mounts?
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I got down four and you had that turn over.
6:06
[SPEAKER_04]: We got down by four.
6:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I told him we got to have the perfect effort.
6:09
[SPEAKER_04]: And Javier on echoed in the time out.
6:12
[SPEAKER_04]: It does not have to be a three.
6:14
[SPEAKER_04]: We just got to play like co-set to our strings.
6:17
[SPEAKER_04]: But it doesn't have to be a three and he said, if anyone wants to y'all shoot a three, I'm going to come at you.
6:22
[SPEAKER_04]: And so, and that's good when the kid when a player knows that that you don't need a three,
6:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he showed tremendous awareness that he knew his legs were kind of down because he had that white open three And he waited for the cuddle on the baseline and made the great pass in for the lay-up.
6:38
[SPEAKER_04]: That was key I mean, I think that was a great play, but because he waited patiently like you said, and then he made the play to a guy that normally wouldn't make that Make that play down a stretch for us in a through some moment of the game
6:51
[SPEAKER_06]: Coach, should I show that beating a team a second time isn't easy?
6:55
[SPEAKER_06]: Now it's short and stormed to try to be the second time.
6:59
[SPEAKER_06]: What's going to be different this time?
7:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I just think we got to be better on the kid more so than we were.
7:04
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, we had a lead over there.
7:06
[SPEAKER_04]: And we kind of joined over the way because they let us shoot the three ball and the three ball became fools go for us.
7:11
[SPEAKER_04]: So we shot more threes than what we needed to.
7:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Versus taking care of the back ball like we did tonight and no one that
7:17
[SPEAKER_04]: We can get the three in his time we want to, but we've got to be capable of grinding it out down the strip.
7:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Over time, I thought, condition that you guys looked next at the shake.
7:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, hey, thank you.
7:28
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why I kept hollering on Arkansas quick strike.
7:31
[SPEAKER_04]: So we have a drill that we do.
7:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I put three minutes on the clock and we set up two shot clocks.
7:37
[SPEAKER_04]: And so they got 15 seconds.
7:38
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you score within the 15 seconds, whatever you score at, you get that number points.
7:44
[SPEAKER_04]: So if he's scoring 14 seconds, you get 14 points.
7:47
[SPEAKER_04]: And the go for each team is to get a 150.
7:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And so sometimes we get one, 50, sometimes they get one, 74.
7:54
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just a matter of just being able to score quick, please, you can, and just keep yourself in shape.
7:59
[SPEAKER_04]: And I told myself, I manipulate the condition a lot.
8:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And everything that I'm just letting him play, it's got some other play four minute games, too.
8:06
[SPEAKER_04]: They think I'm letting him play, but really, I'm just like getting that condition out of.
8:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Coach, thank you so much for your time.
8:11
[SPEAKER_06]: And we'll see you on Friday.
8:15
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Michelle, 68, 38.
8:16
[SPEAKER_05]: Kind of says that all lapel was in charge of this game from start to finish and an awfully impressive performance by the Bulldog's gonna be tough to beat in this sectional.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yes it is, especially if they shoot as well as they did tonight, you know, I think LaPelle is a really, really good team when they're knocking down threes.
8:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they come back to the pack and become beatable if there's struggle from outside the arc.
8:42
[SPEAKER_01]: If they aren't hitting him at the clip like we'll hit him tonight, but I, you know, I'm going to give a lot of credit to the show kid.
8:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was fantastic in the first quarter and then he buried that three at the
8:55
[SPEAKER_01]: take to put them up 12 to 8, Franklin was right there and playing well and he doesn't hit that three.
9:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It's nine to eight.
9:02
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that doesn't.
9:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Price is not going to make a lot of difference, but it just gave the bulldogs momentum going into the second and then they opened the second quarter with and it really wasn't trapping pressure.
9:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But the Franks in turn did over like,
9:15
[SPEAKER_01]: The first three time positions they turn it over, will pull out three threes.
9:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Then they turn it over, will pull around a little clock and end it up with a nice layup on a back door cut.
9:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And those turnovers to start the second quarters what buried Frankden and then they just couldn't get back.
9:32
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Michelle, let's hear from Coach Cherry and then let's talk at a little bit about who was where the stars forward Lapelle.
9:38
[SPEAKER_05]: And then we were talking about Frankden and here from Coach Propson.
9:43
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, goes well with what happened last year.
9:45
[SPEAKER_05]: You had to like the way your team came out and just took it to them from the start.
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought, thank you.
9:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought the way we responded that first four minutes, although last year, we did come out and make some shots early.
9:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, we handled that situation much better than last year, and that's something we stressed all week, that...
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: When we get to the tournament, it's not always the best team that wins.
10:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the toughest team that can stay together for 32 minutes or the course of three games.
10:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we're trying to do.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So really grab a step one tonight.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Against, you know, let's just be honest.
10:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Frank thing was a little bit banged up with the injuries that they had here late in the season.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel bad for both of those kids.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You never want to come, you know, you want everybody to be full strength when you get to this kind of a scenario.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, tons of respect for them and Brent and the way he does things.
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, the next time it could be roles could be reversed pretty quickly.
10:33
[SPEAKER_05]: So more joy or relief tonight?
10:37
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think it's joy.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I think because we played the way I thought we're capable of playing.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we come in and we win one at overtime or we tip one in at the buzzer.
10:44
[SPEAKER_00]: That would probably be more relief, but still joy.
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But tonight was this joy from the standpoint as I thought our guys were super unselfish.
10:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Defensively getting into that second quarter when we were able to kind of get some separation.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought defensively we were able to get to create some turnovers.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Get some easy baskets and transition because if you have to play in a half-core game with them and the way they can guard you,
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: scoring the basketball can become very difficult at times, but being able to score in transition was a big part of what got us that separation tonight.
11:09
[SPEAKER_05]: I was really the key late in the first quarter into the second quarter of putting a gap between the.
11:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And they got in a little bit of foul trouble, which was you never had how that's going to go on any given night, but fortunately that wasn't us tonight.
11:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Although we did have a couple of kids pick up to I thought our seven.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I really believe this and we just talked about in the locker rooms.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who's going to lead us in scoring on a nightlight basis.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a Tyler Cash.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he even scored tonight, maybe.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a Quinn Wilkins.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a Luke Jones.
11:34
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a Dev and we've seen that throughout the course of the year that if we can get four guys and double figures, which we have done that several times, we typically will win that game.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So our scoring can be very balanced.
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And I haven't seen the book yet tonight, but I think that's what we'll see.
11:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure Owen probably led us, but Luke put in a nice performance as well.
11:52
[SPEAKER_05]: One step closer to the championship at Wood on Friday, 19th.
11:56
[SPEAKER_05]: You didn't see during the regular season, your thoughts heading into that week.
12:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I just mentioned to the radio that I haven't watched any film on any other opponent in this section or I would have imagined outside of Franklin, and so we'll start doing that tomorrow, but what I do know is Ryan Bandsky-Ock does a fantastic job, and he's a tremendous basketball coach.
12:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that his kids will play extremely hard.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in a home court situation.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have to come and play in our message.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Regardless of our opponents, we always want to try to play to our expectation level, or to what our standard is.
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's step on.
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And then step two, we'll start watching film and game planning and trying to see what their tendencies are, and see what we need to take away to be successful.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: But tonight, we enjoy this one tomorrow.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We get right back to work.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Coach, thank you, and we'll see you all for our good night.
12:41
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know the scoring yet, Michelle, but I do know that Garber and Co were really good.
12:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Who were the stars, statistically, for LePel tonight?
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I want to double-check this total, Garber had a game high 28 points, and I mean, he had a three, early, first three of the game, and then he just was really good on both ends of the floor on the boards and everything for LePel over the final three quarters.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: He was one of three Bulldogs and Double Figures.
13:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Co. Also was in double figures with 13 points and Evan Craig finished with 12.
13:16
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bulldogs hit 10-3 pointers.
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Four of them were by Garber and then Craig had to.
13:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They, yeah.
13:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, the pelts tough to beat when they're firing on cylinders.
13:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say who I thought also had a good game was Luke Jones.
13:29
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a quiet 7 points, but he did have a 3 pointer.
13:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So and then
13:32
[SPEAKER_01]: They just got contributions from other players on the glass and deflections and things like that, so it wasn't really nice performance by the top.
13:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Michelle, for Frankton, they end up the season with 17 wins.
13:47
[SPEAKER_05]: They probably wouldn't have predicted 17 wins before the season, so really nice year for Frankton, but you hate to seem to go out this way.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you do.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I framed and started two kids that if this was a regular season game, they're not playing.
14:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's senior Blake Nickham, who played through a high ankle sprain and freshman, Ashabrobs and folks who played with a fractured wrist.
14:10
[SPEAKER_01]: He broke his wrist in the elegant.
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Nickham suffered his high ankle sprain in the elegant game, and they both
14:17
[SPEAKER_01]: really try their best.
14:19
[SPEAKER_01]: You could tell that Nick comes ankles at the free throw line.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't think I've seen the kid go one for six at the line in a long time because he's worked really hard.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you shoot free throws, that's when you have to go up on your toes.
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's that's a tough thing to do if you get that ankle sprain.
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And then laterally his movement just wasn't there.
14:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Ashen folks, it was his right wrist.
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: that was fractured.
14:40
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's his message.
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Kudos to him for playing and trying to shoot with it and even ball handling.
14:46
[SPEAKER_01]: But he had to wear such a cast and then with tape over it on the playable cast, with tape over it, to protect the hard practices.
14:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So he really could not feel the ball or grip the ball.
14:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a shame for Frank and that they did more at full strength for tonight's game.
15:03
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Michelle, let's hear from a disappointed Brent
15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You knew this was gonna be a tough matchup because you weren't 100% healthy.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got their kids back, 100% healthy at the right time and for you guys and I'm giving Nick him and National Lot of Credit because they went out there and they battled but you could tell they weren't 100%.
15:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Ashton's wrist is broke.
15:29
[SPEAKER_02]: We tried to hide that as well as we can.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a fractured wrist.
15:32
[SPEAKER_02]: He's out there giving it every weekend.
15:33
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not the same player.
15:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Can't shoot.
15:35
[SPEAKER_02]: He couldn't grab a right hand and you could see that.
15:37
[SPEAKER_02]: like those those were problems.
15:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I probably heard us more playing him maybe than I did help us.
15:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Nicka was not full strength as you could see his lateral movement wasn't good.
15:46
[SPEAKER_02]: He couldn't stand front anyone.
15:48
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a different game with those two kids or healthy.
15:50
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no doubt in my mind.
15:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Butler Pell is a really good team.
15:54
[SPEAKER_02]: don't tell you any way from then because they played extremely well, they played hard.
15:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, at the end of the day, we're not healthy.
16:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It's unfortunate.
16:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It's bad timing.
16:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And you got two kids there.
16:05
[SPEAKER_02]: They've got injuries.
16:06
[SPEAKER_02]: They put in probably shouldn't have been playing with tonight.
16:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I can tell you, for sure, my son shouldn't have been playing tonight.
16:10
[SPEAKER_02]: He's supposed to be out for a month.
16:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but the bottom line is he wanted to suit up, tap it up, and try to get it out.
16:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And at the end of the day, it just didn't work well for him and Nick and gave it everything he had.
16:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's got a high ankle sprain.
16:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's definitely not 100%.
16:24
[SPEAKER_02]: That definitely affected the game and it hurt us, but it will probably go to, you know, they played a good game.
16:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, we got beat and that's bottom line.
16:34
[SPEAKER_02]: We just, we didn't, didn't come out on top.
16:38
[SPEAKER_01]: played him really well the first quarter and then you came out and turned a ball over like four or five straight possessions and it went on like 11 or 13 off this turnovers.
16:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that I probably should have made a switch there, guard-wise.
16:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it asked him how to couple those turnovers for sure.
16:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I looked at me like he was struggling probably dribbling right here in the upper floors, looking at his thoughts.
16:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So, as you could tell, he was going to laugh almost every time so we'd
17:00
[SPEAKER_02]: probably could have made a change there to maybe help.
17:02
[SPEAKER_02]: But first corner was good.
17:03
[SPEAKER_02]: We lost Co in transition in the corner.
17:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a really bad play.
17:06
[SPEAKER_02]: He checked into the game for Craig.
17:08
[SPEAKER_02]: They lost him or for Cash or Craig.
17:09
[SPEAKER_02]: We lost him.
17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a wide open three.
17:12
[SPEAKER_02]: He has a big shot by Co. Kind of plays the game the right way.
17:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Him and Garb were they play the game the right way.
17:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And they, man, I just, you know, they're just really good players.
17:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And they hurt you at times.
17:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And they did it again tonight.
17:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Both those kids.
17:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're just difficult for us.
17:25
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and in the third quarter, I thought we'd battle back.
17:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we could cut it to 19,
17:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And we never could get any closer.
17:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe 19 in the fourth quarter.
17:33
[SPEAKER_02]: One point I don't know, but It's too late.
17:37
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't get down like that to that good of a team and then try to come back out of it.
17:41
[SPEAKER_05]: Coach Final Ward on a really good season.
17:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Very pleased with what we did.
17:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, 17 and seven.
17:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a good year and some really nice victories for this team.
17:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, I thought was
17:55
[SPEAKER_02]: actually a great season and the thing is is that you just think John Wooden talks about in this book, you know, people judge everything on championships and that's what you want to win ultimately but some of your better seasons may be seasons that you didn't win championships.
18:08
[SPEAKER_02]: This was the season where these kids gave everything they had, it started back last June.
18:13
[SPEAKER_02]: They've worked their butts off the whole way and they've had some exciting games, you know, being black for was a big win for this team.
18:18
[SPEAKER_02]: They went on a quite a win streak there for a while also after the, after the big tournament frightened.
18:23
[SPEAKER_02]: hosting a holiday tournament for our school with 18 teams was awesome.
18:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Next year, it's got 42 teams.
18:29
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll help join it.
18:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, that's going to be fun again.
18:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Overall, fantastic season.
18:37
[SPEAKER_02]: In the day, you want to keep advancing, but we just didn't do that.
18:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So, we've got to give a call credit for their win and good luck to them.
18:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And we just got to get back at it.
18:46
[SPEAKER_02]: For obviously, get ourselves ready for next season, but I'm very proud of these kids.
18:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they battled all year.
18:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Coach, thanks so much.
18:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
18:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Michelle, great atmosphere here tonight at Lwood.
18:58
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to talk to Lwood Athletic Director and head coach Ryan Vanskiak about how things went here tonight at Lwood and their matchup with the lapel bulldogs.
19:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Lwood turns up really good host for sectional.
19:13
[SPEAKER_01]: If they do, they really do, you know, when Marty Wells hosted the Girls Basketball section on here in 2014, he did a really nice job, didn't a nice job hosting tournaments, but Ryan just just kicked it up a step, you know.
19:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He wants it to be memorable for the kids, you know, he'd put the brackets and, you know, he posted a video of Taylor moving there, you know, moving there, you know, moving there.
19:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, we're on today, too.
19:40
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yes.
19:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You want to make a fun, and that is, I mean, that's a fun moment.
19:43
[SPEAKER_01]: No state where kids enjoyed them.
19:44
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure the felt first thing they did was run over to that board.
19:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I mean, it's just, that's just handy.
19:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Class, the banners, with making sure it's for proper schools, logos.
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: It just looks nice, it looks classy.
19:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm tired, this man has been on the go.
20:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd really, for the last two weeks.
20:05
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Michelle, thank you so much for helping out tonight.
20:08
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was a lot of fun watching some sectional basketball with you.
20:12
[SPEAKER_05]: Here is Elwood, athletic director and head coach Ryan Vanskaya.
20:16
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks everybody for listening.
20:18
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, coach, Lepel on Friday, very impressive performance by the Bulldogs tonight.
20:23
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, just in all around team, the coach carries a very outstanding coach.
20:29
[SPEAKER_03]: You just see his teams are so disciplined and they do things the right way.
20:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought tonight was the best I've seen them all around.
20:36
[SPEAKER_03]: That's when you want your team's clickings in the tournament.
20:38
[SPEAKER_03]: So I thought defensively, they were out aggressive, very physical with Franklin.
20:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought that caught him off guard a little bit.
20:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And then offensively, you got to pick your poison, are you going to get beat off the dribble by him?
20:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Are they reshooting the crap out of the three tonight?
20:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they do that.
20:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're a well-oiled machine.
20:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to take a great effort to beat a team like that.
21:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan, of course you've had now pretty much you're going to have had two full weeks, but get ready for this opening game.
21:08
[SPEAKER_01]: How is your team been looking in practice these two weeks?
21:12
[SPEAKER_03]: We got a little bit up our sleeve.
21:13
[SPEAKER_03]: We felt like it's been a good week and a half to get tons of shooting in, but also to try to gain playing.
21:19
[SPEAKER_03]: The hardest part is lapel.
21:21
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to play different than we would have played for Ranked and so we're basically going to get basically two days coming in of, this is how we're going to play lapel.
21:29
[SPEAKER_03]: So,
21:30
[SPEAKER_03]: But those kids are going to understand that right away is when we come in tomorrow and Thursday, we got about four hours that really put in everything that we want to try to be successful and do something against them.
21:41
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to have some different looks so that they're probably not seen.
21:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're just going to try to give her a best shot.
21:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean,
21:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Anything that happened in the section, I was at Jay County, a two-one team, one at all.
21:51
[SPEAKER_03]: You just never know.
21:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, sometimes teams have off-nights and gives you an opportunity to win.
21:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I do feel like the first six, seven minutes are going to be critical on Friday night because they get up in a big lead and make us turn the basketball over because there's no doubt my mind they're going to pressure us.
22:10
[SPEAKER_03]: If we can sustain and handle that pressure, the first four,
22:17
[SPEAKER_03]: There's first couple of minutes and I guess we'll be a long night for us.
22:21
[SPEAKER_05]: Coach kind of cool that you got a buy here and you got to kind of just enjoy the atmosphere because This is one of the best atmospheres this Jim's hand.
22:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I wish I could say I really enjoyed it.
22:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't find my legs.
22:33
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been going since 7 o'clock this morning just to make sure everything looked nice.
22:39
[SPEAKER_03]: I've already figured it out.
22:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm afraid.
22:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I really appreciate it.
22:44
[SPEAKER_03]: It's awesome to be able to coach one and run one of his athletic director Friday.
22:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's going to be interesting.
22:50
[SPEAKER_03]: You're basically first half of the night during stuff as an athletic director when you've got to turn around and be a coach.
22:58
[SPEAKER_03]: So that'll be interesting.
22:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I has Brett how you feel about it.
23:02
[SPEAKER_03]: But he's got so many great guys that surround him and to carry out things that helps out a little bit.
23:07
[SPEAKER_03]: And Kudos to all my workers
23:10
[SPEAKER_03]: We have fantastic people in the hospitality room with the ticket booth.
23:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Chad Gibson's been helping me all year during basketball, so I did give a lot of credit to all the people that stepped up and helped me do that.
23:20
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, thanks so much for forwarding seeing you on Friday night.
23:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, did you want to run?
23:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Rangus, if you have an advantage on Friday, is it sometimes lapel mic just the kids, not coach Jerry, but the kids may overlook you guys.
23:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm both definitely.
23:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I think you look back at the three years that I've been here in the sectionals.
23:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Taylor was one of the top teams in the state three years and they were shell shocked of like we were leading most of the game.
23:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Chipped in two years ago, I mean, for the first half, we were playing with Tiff in the neighborhood and the top teams in the state.
23:50
[SPEAKER_03]: coach Hawkins always told me he's like we try to tell our kids they just want to understand like we're going to come out and play and then last year I mean computer was frightened for 43 and a half quarters so I do think that's a vana just no matter what the coaches are going to go and tell those kids
24:06
[SPEAKER_03]: The kids are kids and they think basically they're just going to walk right in the championship game.
24:11
[SPEAKER_03]: So great opportunity to take advantage of it early and for us, for me to feel like we have a chance, we have to do and play well right off to get going.
24:29
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go.
24:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks buddy.
