• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_04]: Please stay tuned for Grant Shouse.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_04]: Grant, I didn't figure this was going to be easy for Franken as easy as it may have
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: when you look at the records, but in the end, eight wins in a row, how'd they get it done?
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't easy, I can tell you that.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is gonna wanna really show to a lot of fight, a lot of toughness.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: In the, really the entire game, it's a 28, 28 game at the half.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mrs. Sinimal had scored 31 total against Delta last Saturday.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: On Tuesday, we saw them on the score 27.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they had scored more points in the first half.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: on Friday against Franklin, then they did the entire game against penalties tonight.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: So coach Brooks, I know, was definitely pleased with the effort for Mrs. and a walk coach, Robinson, missing Noah Melvin tonight for Franklin.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: He did not play trade Bennett, been sick pretty much all week.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: There was a lot of hand sanitizer practice on Thursday.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he said they're taking the whole weekend off after this one to, uh,
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: get healthy get a kind of get away from each other a little bit get from being sick.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: So we're time a year now or kind of warm in February.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: So but anyways, back to the game, Frank didn't really played well in the second half.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Actually got up as many as 10 at one point in the second half.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mrs. Sinole claimed all the way back into it cut it to three after a rabbi on Fets and one to cut it to three and then
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Joshua Brooks picked up a technical foul late for Mrs. Sino-Wall.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought Ravion Fett's may have been fouled a chance to make it at one point game if he would have gotten fouled because he would have had free throws.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: They were in the bonus.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: He felt like Fett's got fouled.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Frighting got the rebound.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mrs. Sino-Wall had to foul coach Brooks was not happy with the officials got nailed with a technical and then nailed with Mrs. Sino-Wall also had the foul there.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: So Isaac Fair went to the line.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: with 18 seconds and shot eight free throws in the final 18 seconds of the game.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Wow, to see you let.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: He really stepped up and played well for them.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: He scored six points.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I all at the foul line there in the last 18 seconds.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: So Frank didn't pull the way to win.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: 62 to 50.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: The game is a lot closer than the 10 point score depicts.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a real competitive game.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a fun game, the call, fun game, the watch.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Misses in a wall, a lot of fight.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Frank then just made more plays down the stretch.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Graham, who played well for Franklin?
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tray Bennett, 17 points.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: He led them and swurring Blake Nickham, those 16, a quiet 16, however.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Really got going on a lot of Mrs. Sinowall would have to press and get up in him.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Frank, there's able to break that press.
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of times it was Nickham streaking to the ram, catching finishing right at the ram.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: He played well, Ash and Broadston,
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: You could tell plays like a freshman, but man is he going to be a good player if you're in a few years.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be shocked if he's not one of the all-time greats to ever come through the program when it's all set and done.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: He only had nine tonight, knocked down a couple of threes, but when you're a six eight shooting guard, you're going to have a, you're going to have advantages, a lot, a lot of places that other teams don't.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_04]: And Mr.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_04]: Senator, what were they able to do well to stay in this game?
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just hit shots, just keep it close, really.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: They gave themselves a chance.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: They were in the fight, the entire game.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Last few games, you see them get knocked down and get big knockout blows thrown at them.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they weathered the storm again.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: They got down 10 in the fourth quarter and cut it back.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Ravey on Fets had a big-an-1, Trent Man landing hand, hit a big three in the corner for them.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Those two were big tonight.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Fets actually led all scores with 21.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Credit Mrs. Sinoff are hanging in there again, Franklin, it kind of got to point where maybe you were concerned that they were playing not to lose, but they hit the free throws when they needed to.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: When the pressure was on, they really stepped up.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought Franklin really just made one or two more plays down the stretch than Mrs. Sinoff all did, but Mrs. Sinoff was right there.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think a, a Trent Man landing hand didn't get in the foul trouble.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: That really could have been a different game than I.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: Grant, this is eight in a row for Frankton, they're now 15 and four.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: They're Sectional includes Taylor and Sheridan, now who's your heartland champions.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_04]: It also includes Tipton and Rival lapel who beat them in just a wild game earlier this season.
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_04]: If you like Frankton's good enough to win a sectional.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I do, but the road that they're going to have to go down is not going to be easy.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: No question going to probably run in the lapel and tailor at some point if they want cut down the net.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tiff and a team that could get hot could get a little sneaky form.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would not be at all shocked if they didn't win that thing and pass that Tesla flying colors.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're that good.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you get the right draw in the regional, just depends who you're going to play.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: You could be in the semi state with the one game regional, but again, you're setting the table before you even walk into the restaurant.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Franklin's got a good shot here and I'm excited to see what they can do.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're a fun team to watch.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're very well coach, Brent Brass, and I did the math today.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Entering tonight was 127 and 50 all-time at home on that home floor.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's only lost 50 games in 18 years at home.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he added another win as 128 home victory tonight for Franklin.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is just an unbelievable coach.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I think Franklin's got a good shot and they got a good leader and good players to go along with it.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_04]: And please stay tuned for Frank didn't head coach, Brent Robbston.
• 7:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: All right coach eight in a row, but it certainly wasn't easy.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's always a tough test for replacing us instead of while they're well coached.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: Um, he does a really good job with them and they're just a tough matchup.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: for us.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was a good win.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was a weird week for us with sickness.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we didn't have no momentum in the night.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: So that was, uh, we actually had Blake Nick.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sick Wednesday.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Thursday, train minutes.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: Sick Wednesday.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: Thursday.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm all going to get sick today or climb out sick.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: So,
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: We've got two kids who really didn't know the game playing coming in the night.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we just had to improvise and we also had a Isaac Fair step up and play some really good minutes.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: Jackson Spaldin coming in the second quarter for about three minutes gave us some good minutes.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we were real happy with the win.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah coach, most of the season you've had a pretty tight rotation.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_04]: But there have been times where you've been able to get a lot of guys in and when you have they perform pretty well.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Isaac came in of time.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: We really needed even Blake Fowdowl.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: And with about three months ago, and finished off the game force, made six or eight free throws.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: And remember, I handled their pressure well.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: Got the ball pass ready to go and played a good several minutes there for us.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: And he gave us four good months in the second quarter, too.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: What did you think tonight, your team did well?
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: And who played well for you?
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: Tonight, I thought we were kind of led by Tray Bennett and Blake Nick and offensively, both of those guys took the load offensively at 17 for Tray 16 for Blake nine for Ashton.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think Stainsbury had eight, I believe.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we had some scoring there and out of four guys were close to double figures.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: So they kind of led the way.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: Eli Berks was extremely important.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: My big shots in the second quarter for us back to
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: He was a big part in that as well.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: Really just a good team effort from everybody.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: So what's the plan for tomorrow?
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: Day off.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're taking the weekend off.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: We got to get everybody away from each other.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to get healthy.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: We got a lot of sickness going through.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: Like I said, try playing the night neck and play tonight.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're definitely not 100%.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Neither one of those guys were completely healthy tonight.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then we're without neck.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so at this point or without Melbourne, we've just got to get back and get healthy.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_04]: But you're not going to get the rest too much because Daleville on Tuesday.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so we're going to take the weekend off prepared Monday for Delville, play them Tuesday at home.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: Then Wednesday Thursday preparation for Alexander your Fridays.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: Another tough match up coming up next week.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, not going to overlook Delville.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: Gotta get through that Tuesday.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then that's our total focus really right now.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then turn our focus to Alexander your Friday night.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: And again, your focus is on Daleville certainly, but
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_04]: That ended his plan well.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_04]: Big win tonight, 41 point win over Madison Grant.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: I got a lot of respect for Marty.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: He was here with me 10 years.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we kind of know each other inside out on our systems.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we've competed each other for several years now.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's always we're going to go against him because he's a guy talked to two, three times a week usually.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: But he's Marty's a great character.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's done a good job with this team this year.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: And
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're playing well at the right time.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: So that test on the road will be a really good test for us.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: We get to get L.A. team.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_04]: But what a great place to play a basketball game.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: Alex Andrews, a tough place to go play.
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: Tough place to win always has been.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: I was able to have the opportunity to catch against Garth Count when he was there and want a legend who led that program to to the heights of winning a state team.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: He ships, it's always been a really good place for basketball.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: even growing up.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: I was a Frankie kids are growing up.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of friends from there.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: And a lot of guys that I played with growing up from there that I know.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: So be a difficult task force for sure, but something will be looking forward to because they'll expose this in ways.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: And it shows things will have to get better at and hopefully we can go there play well.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: Those problems and things so much.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, thank you Greg.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Appreciate everything.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: Late Friday night, Michelle Garman of the Tipton Tribunal would call leader, asked me if I wanted some audio of Isaac Fair after his Rolex on Friday night, and I said sure, so please stay tuned for Frankton's sophomore Isaac Fair.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Isaac, big night, I'm sure it's not something that you saw happening before.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: The game started, mate.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, definitely not.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I knew I heard that Noah in school that he was coming home sick, and I was like, oh, man, I'm making my chance here, and then it happened.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: You certainly made the most of your chance.
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a three point game, then try hit one of two free throws, make it a four point game, and then the rest of the points came for you.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And finally, 18 seconds, six to eight free throw shooting.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: What'd you tell yourself is when you stepped to the line, especially I'm going to guess at those first board where the toughest ones, because you were on the line all by yourself.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they definitely were.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, don't give me wrong.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was definitely nervous, but I tried.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: We shoot free throws all the time in practice.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I just tried taking deep breaths and relying on my mechanics
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: pull me through.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, tell me when was your mind to Blake Fowl?
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously Fowl's out.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have to go in, again, it's a tight game.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I was just like, all right, let's just close this game.
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: We need one stop and they had to foul.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then once I got foul, I was like, all right, and then the tech, I was like, name as well, capitalize on this opportunity.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, I wasn't gonna try and then try going and score all these points because that's not really my role, but I guess it happened in a little different way that I thought it was, but I'll take it.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_04]: And thanks so much to Isaac Grant and Coach Probson, as always, thank you so much for listening, Greg and his friends talk sports every day, really good one on Saturday, featuring a lot of high school boys basketball, and I'll look ahead to do a lot more high school sports this weekend, and a preview of Purdue Iowa.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: Please check it out.
