- 0:28[SPEAKER_02]: For their sixth win in a row and either their most dramatic win of the year or their second most dramatic win of the year, going back to the Wapahani win on Christmas Eve Eve, as I annoyingly refer to December 23rd every year.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_02]: Producer Susie loves that I refer to it as Christmas Eve Eve every year, she just loves it.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, talk about a tangent, talk in such nonsense.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_02]: I can't even remember if I said that the wind was against the tri-high tigers from strong India, in which is just outside a new castle.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_02]: The previous five winds in the winning streak all came by 20 or more points.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_02]: This one not so, in fact,
- 1:23[SPEAKER_02]: 44 to 39 with just over two minutes left in the game.
- 1:29[SPEAKER_02]: When Ashton, Robston knocked down a three pointer and started a 11 to three run to end the game for the three pointed win.

- 1:47[SPEAKER_02]: I wanna review the box score with you.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_02]: During the Winning Street Coach Probstans, it's been able to use a lot of different players and get a lot of different looks, and a lot of blowout wins.

- 2:04[SPEAKER_02]: Trebinant went six for six from the field, finished with 16 points and six rebounds.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_02]: Three steals, including the game, clincher as time expired.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_02]: There's pretty efficient offense by tray not so much by most of the rest of the team.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_02]: Robston scored 12 points, he was 4-4-11 from the field, did a lot of good stuff.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_02]: He was 3-3 at the foul line and also finished with 5 rebounds and 4-6.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_02]: He also made two of the biggest plays of the night as we will discuss here in the recap and in my interview with Ashton Blake and Coach Braxton.

- 3:03[SPEAKER_02]: Melvin had five rebounds.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_02]: Eli Birch and Noah Melvin, my two guests on this week's Frankton Report, had three assists to piece.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_02]: Nick and was stellar on defense, most of the night, he had four steals and three blocks.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I mentioned that Melvin finished with five rebounds, but he did.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_02]: It may come across in Coach Braxton's interview after the game, but he was not thrilled with the performance.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_02]: But the Eagles did get off to a great start.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_02]: Tray Bennett scored the first four points, and Ethan Stansbury had a couple of free throws, and the Eagles led six to nothing, three minutes and 20 seconds into the game.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_02]: It took try half of the first quarter to get on the scoreboard.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_02]: But once Mason Butler started scoring, he really started scoring the sophomore finished with 19 points in, made a lot of big plays in this game, passes defense, nice post moves, going to be a really good one for the Tigers.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_02]: Butler scored the Tigers first six points, and then Eli Murphy hit a three pointer
- 4:29[SPEAKER_02]: Ranked and closed the period on a five-nothing run on a Nickham fast break layup started off a defensive rebound by trade Bennett.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_02]: Then after Bennett blocked Butler's shot, Noah Melvin knocked down a 3.0 or 7 seconds left and Ranked and led 13 to 9 at the end of the first quarter.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_02]: Try start at the second period on a 9-nothing run on the Tiger's second possession of the second quarter Carson Ewing hit a three pointer his only points of the game and Jonah Cox gave the Tigers the lead on a back door pass from Butler it was 14 13 try Cox finished with 11 points.

- 5:41[SPEAKER_02]: On a nice pass from Cox, and it was 23-15 tigers with just under two minutes left before halftime, coming up in the interview with Coach Braxton, this is when I asked him, did you consider calling a time out at this point?
- 5:57[SPEAKER_02]: Wasn't a bad effort defensively all night, but during this stretch it was a lot of wide open layups for try, even a couple that they missed.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_02]: Down 8, Frankton got back in the game late in the second quarter, stands berries, pull up jumper, roll around, and in with a minute 38, then after a Nickom steal, Robston scored on a layup on an assist from Eli Birch.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_02]: After a Jonah Cox banker and the lane made it 25-19, Nickom's drive with two seconds left, cut the deficit to 25-21 at the half.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_02]: Frank can outscore the Tigers 16 to 12 and the third quarter it started with an Ethan Stansbury baseline jumper in a bobston 3.0 play off a nicknm steel with 629 left and the third Frank can had cut the deficit to 2726.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_02]: But there's scored on a post-move then stands very hit a three pointer on assist from Melvin and the game is tied, and that would be a trend for the rest of the quarter.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_02]: Every time one team scored the other team answered, it tried to hook the lead, 31-29, and then Bennett hit two free throws to tie the game of 31.

- 9:42[SPEAKER_02]: Please stay tuned for Brent Brobston, Ashton Brobston, and Blake Makeup.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_02]: Coach, some good, some bad in the end of defensive and some clutch free throws.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought we struggled in the first half, shooting the basketball, and I think we probably three point percentage for us tonight.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_01]: We just did not shoot the basketball very well.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_01]: We got beat on some rare cuts and we typically defensively don't get beat on.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it just kind of give a lot of credit to try.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_01]: Very good team, very well coached.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_01]: The little is a president called Timeout during that run was there a reason.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_01]: I think I got a little bit of stubborn and thought, let's play through this and see what we're made of.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_01]: And this was kind of like a sexual atmosphere and in terms of the game we were down five with what two and a half three minutes to go, three minutes to go.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: And we need to see what we're made of and if we could come back and get out of it and we were able to do that.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think by any means we played very well tonight, but try how to lot to do with that.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_01]: And winning and not playing well is a great thing.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_01]: don't want to lose and not play well.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to win and I'll play well.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_01]: So we got to get to the film and see what we did wrong.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we were very good tonight overall.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_01]: But that's okay.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_01]: You can have an off night when you have an off night win.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_02]: That's a that's a plus down five with under two minutes to go freshman.
- 11:10[SPEAKER_02]: It's a big three.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_02]: It makes a big play on an inbound pass.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_02]: What do you say about
- 11:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the three point shot was big.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, cut it to two for us and him having the guts to come off and take that shot.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_01]: That was a big shot for us.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_01]: The play that he then bounds play, he made to try.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_01]: We had.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_01]: wanted to get early in the game.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_01]: We thought was open and he had missed it.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_01]: He made a really good read on this one.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_01]: I made the pass fake that we need him to finally make that he was supposed to make the first time, but he made the pass fake the second time and we got the guy to bite for it and got trained for the layup.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_02]: I was gonna ask you that.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_02]: Was that he was excited and jumping.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_00]: Before the ball even went in the basket, you kind of jumped up like, oh, I saw it.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_00]: I saw it coming.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_00]: Is it how it's excited?
- 11:53[SPEAKER_00]: I knew it would put us up one.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_00]: And...
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: they just got our whole team going and i think that was the moment moment i'm to take us all the way and coach uh... defense played really well on the stretch two steels to in the game
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think down the stretch when we needed to make plays, we made him defensively, but overall was an average defense of performance, but try had a lot to do with that again.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_01]: They were, they ran some really good stuff against us, and they caught us off guard on a few things, which good for us to see, and we just got to get better at it and get ready for the next one.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Coach, thanks so much.
- 12:29[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to talk to your players here for just a minute, and catch up with them always appreciate a coach.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Blake, um, was there a time in the late in this game that you thought maybe this one was just getting away from you?
- 12:42[SPEAKER_03]: No, we always got to have that mindset that we're never out of the game because if you think you're out of the game, then you're not going to play like you're in it.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_03]: So you just got to always have that mindset that there's still a chance that All right, you're just you're always playing for the win, you know six wins in a row.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_02]: I know it wasn't a great performance tonight, but you got to feel pretty good about six in a row.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely nice having six in a row, but definitely a lot of stuff we can learn from this game and do better at.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I want to ask you about Ashden tonight.
- 13:13[SPEAKER_02]: First of all, the three pointer, how big was that?
- 13:15[SPEAKER_03]: I was definitely huge.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it was definitely momentum shift.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_03]: That's a tire get the lead there.
- 13:22[SPEAKER_03]: Cut it too cut to yeah, yeah, I've just about two minutes to go that definitely huge Just get us back in that game one shot, so this is big big moment for the kid All right, Ash and I asked him about you.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna ask you about him talk about a little bit about his defense and how much that can make a difference in a game
- 13:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he plays so hard, I think that just helps us get.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_00]: He gets a lot of steals again, he gets steals rebounds, he keeps guys in front of him.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: So all that just leads us getting offence.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: You like winning it on a steal like that?
- 13:53[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely nice just making a defensive play that win the game to back to back.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_03]: I had one and then try I don't want to see it.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely nice.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, two and a row that was a pretty cool way to end it when you guys kind of pride yourself on defense.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, definitely.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_03]: Definitely what we pride ourselves on.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_03]: So it's cool.

- 14:10[SPEAKER_02]: five days off, while Ash on Tuesday, how do you feel about the midweek games do you like him or do you prefer play it on weekends?
- 14:19[SPEAKER_03]: I prefer playing on weekends, but that's my worst thing I'm gonna play the same way we always do and try and win it how we do.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good chance there'll be a sectional game on Tuesday too, so probably good to get used to them.
