1:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Been a bit of a rough go of late for the Panthers.
1:57
[SPEAKER_01]: losing a couple of key players from their team and then losing back to back games against Tricentral and Southern Wells, a couple of teams, they felt like they could beat.
2:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And they fell beyond early against a win-less GEO next generation team down in Indianapolis.
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: But Bryce Schueler led a comeback with 34 points and the Panthers outscored the Eagles 43 to 34.
2:25
[SPEAKER_01]: in the second half and 19 to 15 in the fourth quarter.
2:30
[SPEAKER_01]: For Schueler, it was a career high-in-fact coach van Skyok and our interview coming up said it might be the most points ever scored under him at L Wood.
2:41
[SPEAKER_01]: When a half-time he was having a great game, he scored six points in the first quarter and seven in the second for 13 points, and then he just took control in the third quarter scoring.
2:52
[SPEAKER_01]: 19 of the Panthers' 23 points in the decisive period.
2:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Shuler was hardly alone in his offensive explosion.
3:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The 74 points a season high.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Their first time going over 70 points this year, and their first time going over 60 since January 2nd in the Central Indian holiday classic.
3:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Braiden Etchison and Connor Wooden scored eight points of peace.
3:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Corbin level scored six and Ethan Cassis finished with four.
3:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Etchison got the Panthers off to a good start scoring all eight of his points in the first half while level and Wooden came up big in the fourth quarter level with six points with five.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: With eight wins, Elwood is equal to their best season under Vansgah and have some more
3:51
[SPEAKER_01]: On Friday night, it's 5 an 11 blue river valley, a team that's actually quite a bit better than it's 5 an 11 record, got its best player back recently, and they're 4 and 2 since then.
4:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Then on Saturday, it is 9 and 10 Providence, Crystal Ray.
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: 9 and 10 is a pretty good record, but the wolves went 19 and 8 last year, one of their losses was by 13 points to Elwood.
4:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Both games are scheduled for 730.
4:21
[SPEAKER_01]: The game Friday night is in John Ward, Jamnasium.
4:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Just four games at home left in the regular season need to get out and see these panthers.
4:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Who have a chance to reach double-digit wins for the first time in 12 years?
4:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Saturday's game is back in Indianapolis where the panthers won on Thursday night.
4:42
[SPEAKER_01]: They are now 2-0 in
4:47
[SPEAKER_01]: please stay tuned for Elwood Boys Basketball Head Coach Ryan Ben Scott.
4:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Coach, it has to be really nice to get that win tonight.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we definitely struggled, but I felt like Bryce Schueller, even a half time when we were down.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He just basically put everybody on the back and so we're not going to lose this game.
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of determined determination that he's going to do whatever he can for us not to lose.
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So credit to that kid.
5:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm not staying a game.
5:25
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's exactly what I threw last one yesterday.
5:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he's one of those kids that we need to step up and score the basketball for us and he's done a much better job of it and he's just really aggressive and I get in the hole and just did a fantastic job so credit him and credit to the other kids that fought and battle through and when when things were rough and we're about a little adversity wouldn't give up or wouldn't tell with continued to keep fighting and then
5:57
[SPEAKER_00]: grateful that we came out with a win.
5:58
[SPEAKER_01]: 34 points.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: The most of players scored under you at Elwood.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to look.
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Jaden Reese was up there my first year.
6:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He had an unbelievable game against Clinton Central and he might have been 32 34.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to go back.
6:21
[SPEAKER_01]: really nice performance from Bryce, but he was loan coach.
6:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it a concerted effort to increase the scoring or was it just something that happened organically?
6:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we started our, uh, we started the different line up tonight.
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We felt like we needed to send a message to our starters of like, if you don't give us 100% effort.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you give us that effort and we're going to play them.
6:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So those kids battled and we're going to rough start.
6:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Coach was on the bus on the way back, so got cut off a little there.
7:01
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you don't mind, continue talking a little bit about Bryce's night and how the offensive all the way did tonight.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we got down early and we felt like we needed to press a little bit.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got Bryce is really good of getting some deflection still.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got out.
7:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We got some deflections.
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Got running a little bit and got some scores.
7:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would say probably 95% of Bryce's scoring was at the ram.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he just got to the ram all night.
7:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a few jumpers off the 34, but most of us just driving getting the whole so I've got to have been something you guys have struggled with all year so get the most one thing making them as another.
7:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, most definitely.
7:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you look back at Hamilton a couple of weeks ago.
7:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We must fit through two shots and most of those were around the round.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
7:57
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... it was great for our kids i think to see the ball going in the whole little bit uh... it was a collective team group effort uh... i thought all 15 of the guys that we dressed brought energy just brought something that we haven't seen out of her kids in the last couple weeks so uh... it was a good sight to see uh... they're going to be a little sore tomorrow quick turnaround but we don't see what
8:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you are.
8:26
[SPEAKER_01]: For sure, we'll talk about that here in just a minute who else played for, well, for your coach.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I thought Brandon that just ended a really good job.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He got a lot of foul troubles.
8:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So I hit and miss.
8:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But when he came in and gave us great minutes, Connor Wu and again played really good defensively.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, had eight points.
8:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's some baskets around.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably should have 20.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, but we're going to continue just trying to shoot him the basketball.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have total confidence in hit and hitting.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought he did a really good job.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Then Blaze, Jones struggled early, but he had a few really key stills, layups, late for us in the game, really turned things around for us.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like you really like Indianapolis, to an earlier this year.
9:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're going back there Saturday.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
9:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Looking for three in O&NB, you've got to own that town coach.
9:22
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to own it, and that's a big weekend for us.
9:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, two winnable games and chance for us to be 500 going in the next week, the last week of our season.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I love to play for every game matters to us.
9:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're still trying to get that goal of having a winning season.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And we've got to definitely have these two wins on the next two nights.
9:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Tuesday, you play Friday, you play Saturday in B-18s.
9:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do that very often coach.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be tough.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I must definitely.
10:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when we look back on, I was building a schedule, I thought this was going to be one of the deeper teams we had.
10:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we lost our two guards.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we're post heavy.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And we don't have very many guards.
10:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So we played no cap shell today.
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a freshman.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: and no one robbers and who's a sophomore and they came in and gave us really the minutes of the guard position.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But when we were like a back on that we felt like we had 12 13 kids that we could have played.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately, things happened and that's part of it.
10:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're going to treat tomorrow.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I told the kids you're going to treat tomorrow like you're in a section.
10:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And fortunately, maybe bad weather.
10:39
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to play on a Thursday Friday Saturday to win your section.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So for us, it's kind of that winner.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Go home and tell you how we got to treat it tomorrow.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: If we want to come out and get a victory.
10:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The other issue, Coach, is not a lot of time to scout.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you've had time through the years.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's probably a little easier now in these days to scout teams, but quick turnaround and blue rivers that team play in well.
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I give a credit to a lot of my staff when I look at the schedule and February is this brutal.
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So we divided up and conquered for sure.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So our coaches stepped up and each one of them had a scattering for.
11:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They've done a tremendous job of putting reports together for our kids and we've been able to give them to them right away and talk about things.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing we wish we had more time on the core, but our coaches have been really detailed of the reports that are given our kids.
11:36
[SPEAKER_00]: To give them the best chance to win.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So I credit.
11:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I truly believe I have one of the best staff in the state and definitely none of this is possible without it.
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So what did they learn about Blue River Valley?
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Blue River has a really good player and then they have a couple really good guards.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: The good player just came back from suspension.
11:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's only been back four or five games.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We're on a three game winning streak.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can see the type of player he is.
12:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're starting to win some really good games right now.
12:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got to do a great job of getting them stopped.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna take a lot of quick shots and they're gonna take a lot of them.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to play up tempo and we just got to do really good job of playing basketball or playing fundamentally sound and playing smart.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And we feel like if we can do that for 32 minutes, we feel like we can win that basketball game.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Be nice to be back at home.
12:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, we don't have much more.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: We have all three next week or at home.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's going to be nice.
12:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got four home games left.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't been able to play on a Friday night for a while.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's going to be good.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd have our home crowd.
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And we tend to shoot the basketball a lot better at home.
12:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So I know our kids are looking forward to it.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: We're having a lot of seniors that we do.
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we keep telling them not very many opportunities left.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got to be ready to play.
13:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Coach Vanskak, thanks as always and we will talk to you on Friday night.
13:08
