- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: And Garber scored seven of his ten points in the final minute.

- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: He was 10 for 12 from the field and led the Eagles with 20 points, he also had 6 rebounds and 5 steals.

- 4:20[SPEAKER_00]: Five and a half minutes into the game, Nickham finally got frinked on the board, then had a steel for a basket and offensive put back and after an Ashton Robston long two, Nick him turned another steel into a basket.

- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: Please text me at 502-533-3161.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_00]: If you're interested, or may know somebody who may be.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_00]: Please stay tuned for Franklin Head Coach, Brent Robston.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: Well coach, that was a wild one.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, not the finish that we wanted.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_01]: I played a game of spurts.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously they came out and played really well early.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_01]: And then we came back and got it tied up.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_01]: Then we came out the third quarter and played extremely well.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_01]: and then they came back again and tied it up and then we went on another round to get up eight and then they came back and they won.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: So, I don't know if I've been a part of a game that's that many spurts for a long time, but crazy.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_01]: Now you've got to get credit to LePell, I came back and won and earned it and we just needed to take care of the basketball at the end of the game.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, difficulty getting the ball in bounds late in the game really cost you.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_01]: It was the difference there at the end.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like a lot of our guys played some of their best games to the season.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_01]: Stan's Barry Nickham, Ashton, Bennett, Melbourne, had five assists.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_01]: He played solid and defensively force to be like Birch off the bench, but all some might just didn't prove to be enough when you're going to take care of it there in the last 45 seconds.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel for our kids, because I think that they played really hard.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought both teams did.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought both teams played extremely hard.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_01]: I got after it, and look how's the good team.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_01]: We got beat by a good team, so we just got to get better.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: Coach, if you don't mind our asking since there was no shot at the end, what was the plan going into the final shot?
- 9:23[SPEAKER_01]: We were trying to run Blake, Nick, and lots of backscreens.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_01]: And you get him the law, that's the basket.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_01]: And we were able to get it.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_01]: So we have been to the ball that you like, Berksa, at that point, one of the kind of trades
- 9:35[SPEAKER_01]: that he got bottled up to here and they bottled that play up and we ran out of time.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: You talked about there being some positives in this game just getting down 11 to nothing and coming back from that alone was pretty impressive.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: We'll pelk came out and obviously shot the box stream.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_01]: We won't early and I didn't think we did a good job getting out to them, but they made some shots.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_01]: They were pumped up, obviously coming in and wanting to beat us and we didn't match that early, but then we turned it on and matched that.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_01]: And then he really exceeded that in the third quarter and didn't get that big lead, but just wasn't enough.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_01]: You know, down the stretch and able to take care but there's that last minute was critical and we just didn't execute that last minute very well.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, really what turned it around was Blake Nichom's defense.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_00]: He had a really nice night scoring a lot of points but I thought his defense was really what got you going early.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: He was outstanding all night.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_01]: He was outstanding.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to take him off the floor because he's playing so well.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_01]: But he's earned that, and he's really done a good job for us all year, and it's good to see him play so well for us, so super excited for how he played for the team.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just one game, so they've got a, for how big a team we have to understand that we've got to get better at the end of a game, and we've got to be able to finish off game like that.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_00]: And a pretty good change.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_00]: You'll see that team again.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing you may see in the section.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_01]: And if we do it with cross paths again, obviously, we'll be motivated to hopefully try to win that game.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_00]: A bit of a busy schedule right here for games in a week.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_00]: It slows down a little bit for the next couple of weeks, only game until the 23rd is at Madison Grant on Friday.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: What's this week going to be like?
- 11:28[SPEAKER_00]: And what are you expecting from your team at Madison Grant?
- 11:32[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously a conference game, so it's gonna be a dull fight down there, so, uh, more up there.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, I think that, you know, when you go to Master Grants, never easy to win, so it's a team that we cannot overlook.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_01]: It's a team that can be explosive, uh, obviously got good guard play, so we don't know everything about him yet, because we haven't, haven't scouted them yet, um, or worked on our scouting reports officially yet, so, uh,
- 11:58[SPEAKER_01]: We'll start that on Sunday as coaches and try to get back out of it, but we just got to continue to take this and take this loss and turn it into a positive here and try to get better and be ready for my cigarette.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's a brand-bropstone, thank you so much for your time, I appreciate it as always.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much to Coach Brobstin and everyone at Frank Dint for making this podcast possible.
