  [SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to the Central Indiana holiday classic day one recap with Greg Mangel and Grant Chowes And it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome Central Indian High School basketball fans to the Central Indian esports group for our day one recap of the inaugural Central Indian Holiday Classic at Franklin L. Wood in Alexandria.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: We got all the results.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: We got all the highlights and we have Saturdays line up for you.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: We also have Grant Shows Grant.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome and I know you spent a little
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: your thoughts on the central Indian holiday classic.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Greg, thanks for having me.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that it was a really good idea by Alexandria, Elwood and Frank Tenet to see some teams that you normally don't get to play.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: A couple other local ones that
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: around the area like eastern and blackford and you know, maybe even throw like a Clinton prairie in there too, looked like some competitive games that I obviously did get to see every game just because of, you know, so much going on throughout the day and everything and.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but I really hope this is something they can continue to do, uh, three out the years for years to come and I think it's going to be a good thing.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think as this grows, you're going to get more teams in here wanting to play.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think, uh, you know, this year, you're kind of having the, the smaller schools, the competition may not be as great, uh, but I think in a few years, once this thing really gets, though, or gets going and people start to know about this, you're going to see some really good programs come and play in this thing.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I always really like these holiday tournaments because you get to see a lot of different teams and that allows you to kind of compare scores.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it's not really fair to do it that way, but with Crothersville in the tournament, I got to see them today.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I can kind of compare scores from the north and the south and kind of get an idea of where everybody is.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I really like the idea of that.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that they got to 18 tournaments is astounding.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as you know,
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of good IDs out there in my mind.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: The two best in Indiana are right here at the two schools that I went to, Frankton with Brent Blobston, Elwood with Ryan VanSkyacht.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brent is the most organized athletic director I've ever known.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ryan is the most passionate athletic director I've ever known.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're going to sports and we're going to, you know, especially closely at the high school level, you're running to a lot of good athletic departments, some good some bad and we're lucky enough that.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: a couple of these schools around here really have some great eighties like that, you know, that are taking the initiative to want to do this.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it wasn't for the three schools getting together here.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: We would not have this.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So big, big props to, you know, Brent, props in Ryan Vance, Skyock, even carry house over there at Alexandria for putting us on.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Grant, I'm going to start with Saturdays at lineup day two of the
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: We have games at 10 a.m. noon and two and then single games at 4 p.m. 6 p.m. at 8 p.m. Those games are the pool championship games and at 10 a.m. We have a 3 and 6 Eastern against 3 and 6 white in the main gym.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: They both whip 1 and 1 on Saturday.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: to an eight tri-town ship against one and seven Fort Wayne's Smith Academy and the auxiliary gym.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the main gym at noon, it's three and five north, Judson against five and five windchester.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got to see windchester tonight, and they are pretty good.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the auxiliary gym at noon, it's three and five tri-central against O and seven, Cherubusco.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: To a clock at,
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the main gym, it's 4 and 6 kept legacy from Indianapolis against 4 and 3 Crothersville the southernmost team in the tournament and in the auxiliary gym, it's stunningly 5 and 6 Alexander against 2 and 5 Clinton Prairie and Grant.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I might have expected Alexander and Clinton Prairie to be playing each other on Saturday, but I certainly would have thought at least it was the second place game and not the third place game.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was really, really surprised about that after Alexander really had a nice showing earlier in the week down at the Edinburgh tournament.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were there for that first game.
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I called all three of those games and they looked like a really good basketball team earlier this week.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's happened there on new years, but they are not playing the way they're capable of playing right now and that's really unfortunate.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I know this staff's going to get him turned around.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think maybe those teams are better than we expected.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that might have been part of it.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Probably.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the first pool championship game at four o'clock.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's five and three L would against six and one to mock Christian.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's six o'clock.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be seven and two Franklin against eight and one Heritage and former Franklin Star.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Austin Compton, who is an assistant coach for the Patriots.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then in eight o'clock, it's unbeaten black for it against seven and two Randolph Southern.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Great day of basketball.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be there all day grant.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to add there to Austin Compton real quick is that.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I remember when Austin Compton was a player.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Frank didn't that dude was tough.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So now that he's coaching ball and actually I think his senior year was when I really started to get into basketball And we played Frank in at Oak Hill one year and he came out there and I think they beat us by about 25 or 30, but man, he he was a really great player.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some glad he's gotten into coaching I grew up during the Brad Compton days, Grant Wow
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Grant, let's get to Fridays, scores and highlights, and we'll start with pool A and pool B at Lwood High School, John Ward Gymnasium, by the way, Grant John Ward was my neighbor when I was growing up.

• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pull C, Frankton 66 to 25 over Winless Cherabusco.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was 17 to 10 after the first quarter before Frankton outscored.

  [SPEAKER_00]: The other Eagles 49 to 15, the rest of the way.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trybina had 19.7 rebounds in five blocks.

• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Eli Burch went scoreless.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe this is the first time all year.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He didn't lead Frankton in scoring, but he did lead him in rebounds with 12.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lots of assists for the Eagles, very good sign for that team.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cool, but D also played at Frankton.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Game number one, it was a really good win heritage, 61, Tricentral 55.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Story in Brown 18 points, Kingston Galantine 17 for Heritage, J. J. and Kovieck had a co-game high for Tricecental 18 points, Roger D.S.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: 13 and Logan Sergeant 12 points, Jake Chapman 10.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really good game grant, the big quarter for Heritage and this one was the second where the outscored Tricecental 21 to 13 in hell long for the win.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: In Game 2, Heritage won another close win to clinch the pool with a 48-45 win over Winchester and in the night cap, the Golden Falcons, be a clearly tired tricendral team 77-45 Caleb Hummel 34 points Carter Campbell 22 for Winchester
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: and pool E at Alexandria.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Game one was kind of a shocker, Kip Indy Legacy 81, Alexander is 60, Shaolin Robinson 22 points, Nate Bell 14 for Kip Indy Legacy.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alexander is led by Cam Maccatee with 14 and Bryce and Eccler by 13.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Tigers trail 45 to 23 at the half in this one.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Game two was a great one turned out to be for the pool championship.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was Randolph Southern 52 to 50 over Kip.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then Randolph Suthern, friend, is an off with a 71-66 win over Alexander at much better performance by the Tigers, Connor Kettery and Cam Maccatee's 17 points of peace, and this win Alexander is down 35 to 28 before outscoring the Rebels 38 to 36 in the second half.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, again, just really surprised by that result.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I guess, kind of slept on Randolph's other in a little bit.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're playing in that championship, tomorrow against a really good black for teams.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'll be interested to see how they fare, but Alexander, it sounds like gave all they had today.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And again, it is kind of one of those weird weeks where Alexandria played three games in two days earlier this week, turn around, then he played twice on one day, probably a fatigue team a little bit, maybe needs a little rest, you know, talk to Marty today, so they watch film on New Year's Eve and then practice New Year's Day and, you know, just trying to get into the rhythm and we talk about it in the broadcast today, your body.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: really gets out of rhythm this time of year, not just if you're a basketball player, but a lot of people get out of rhythm just because of the time of year it is.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think Alexander will be able to bounce back from this.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is a little bit of a setback and once this team really gets some rest, gets healthy, gets their legs back.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to be a good team in January.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, probably not exactly representative of the team that they are after
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: The cool F was won by Blackford.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They opened it with a 55 28 win over defending Class A state champion, Glenn Perry.
• 13:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Clearly not the same, Glenn Perry team.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Murray lega 18 points for Blackford Jacob Dillon 13 points and 10 rebounds.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Reggie Durin had 9 points in 5 assists, Mason Kitterman 7 points in 7 rebounds and Mason McPhilly just 2 points but had 5 assists for the Bruins.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Game 2 won the shock to me probably more than any game of all of them.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then Blackford finished off the day at Alexander with a 62-38 win over Crothersville, leg at 22 points and 5 rebounds, Kitterman 16 points and 5 rebounds that is quite the duo for Blackford.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Dylan finished with 11 points and 12 boards and Reggie Durin 9 points and Grant, let's talk some basketball.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Grant Big Day on Saturday at Frinkton.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: There are a ton of games for anybody to watch all for just $10 of the championship games, which ones are you looking most forward to?
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that blackford Randolph-Southern game.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: They don't play each other during the regular season, which is maybe a little bit surprising.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are kind of near each other, play a lot of the same opponents during the year.
• 14:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be a fun game.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know Randolph Sutheran is a really good team.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I watch them today against that kid bindi legacy and they are a really scrappy team Very fundamental with the basketball So to see them, you know, get to match up with them or you let get there black for it is
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think really going to be a good test for them and, you know, Greg Raych draws doing all three of the championship games there tomorrow with Elwood and Demot Christian, Franklin and Heritage and Blackford and Randolph Southern, Franklin and Heritage would be a really good game too.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those are probably the most evenly matched teams.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think you're going to see play each other in the championships tomorrow.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think we're going to see a big crowd at Franklin, especially during the game, the home team was playing.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely, again, because there's a lot of people that are just coming out to this to check this thing out for the first time.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is, of course, the inaugural one, so they're just trying to get a feel for it.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, hopefully there's some atmosphere in that gym tomorrow for every game, not just the championships, there's some really good atmosphere against, you know, with some really quality teams.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: and just $10 and no college football to compete with.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Can't go wrong.
• 15:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Get out the Frank in everybody.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: On Saturday, I'm going to be out at Frank in doing recaps of all the championship games, and we've got some local teams and a couple others, so we might do that as well, kind of depending on the outcome, and depending on how early I can get there.
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I will be out there all day.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will have a full recap of Lwood Democrition, again, four o'clock.
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Frank didn't heritage six o'clock and blackford ran off Southern at eight.
• 16:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, Ryan Vanskiak and
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brent Braxton, two of my favorites, so looking forward to catching up with them and their teams and Aaron Daniels.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also one of my favorites of Blackford.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been great to us so far, so really looking forward to catching those teams and seeing some more basketball on Saturday.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm looking, you know, I'm looking forward to seeing how that'll go.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, again, this tournament I'd really like to see some more local teams get into, uh, you know, here later on down the road and play some of these teams, again, you're seeing a lot of these teams that you don't normally get to see.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Greg, when's last time we saw the mock Christian play a game, never, never.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you know, ever really get to see heritage, you know, get to see Randolph's Southern.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I believe it.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: You seem to know that kind of stuff, um, you know, even if you like charabasco, you don't see charabasco a whole lot.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't see kip legacy, which, you know, before this tournament, I really had to question if it existed or not.
• 17:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they've been Alexander's.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they, they, they, they must have legacy stands for knowledge is power program.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I did not know that knowledge is, but, okay, where'd you learn that?
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who told
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking smart like that.
• 17:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there you go.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's, I mean, you do your research or you do go it, you know?
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right, research is my favorite thing.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's my, that's my meal of you as they say in French.
