They're just not going to they're just going to have to not let their emotions get ahead of them and just be able to control the game and let uh the Patriots or if it's for the Patriots, let the Tigers do the talking or chirping. Yeah, these two teams actually met a little bit earlier this year in the ACAC tournament at Heritage. It was a close game. Bluton was able to keep the scoring tight through the first half. In the third quarter was when things started to get a little bit out of hand. And then Heritage is mainly their guard play was too much for the Tigers as the Tigers only run mainly a sevenman lineup on the varsity team. And Heritage obviously with the two key guards, number two Lante Castle, number three Tory Brown. Tigers with one main guard and Marshall Gerber who had to do most of the heavy lifting for the Tigers which wore him out.
So you would look to see if the Tigers rotated maybe a Gibson Greaser, some more guards into the lineup tonight. >> Yeah. >> As we get underway, third quarter just about to start here in the Tiger Den. >> Blson will open with possession as Gibson Greaser takes the ball across the 10-second line. Tigers looking in the post early, get the quick kick out as they set up a zone set. Great passing on that possession for the Tigers. Just not able to convert on the block shot. Just a really good extra pass there from Rafe knowing that Andy had a higher percentage look there. Just unable to fall. Surprising to see the Tigers look in the post so early, especially with none of the notable bigs we listed on the court as the Patriots just throw it away straight to head coach Peter Becker on the sideline.
Tigers again looking to drive to the basket. >> They'll kick it out to Bennett Stler in the corner with an open three. Can't connect. >> Tigers trying to save that rebound, but roll it out of bounds. Possession will go to the Patriots. Patriots very quick moving the ball here on offense and they'll get the open three from the left wing number four Brady Bole gives the Patriots the lead back here early in the third quarter. gives the Patriots some much needed momentum. Uh again, as that has been one of their uh first makes in a while for the Patriots, I'd say. Patriots building on that momentum. Force a Tiger turnover looking to build on their one-point lead on this end of the court. Three misses everything, but goes straight into the hands of the Patriots. Tigers find the ball somehow. Give it to Andy on the fast break who will convert on the layup.
Giving the Tigers the lead back. Tigers first points of the second half. Just over two minutes into the second half. Another turnover. Tigers cannot convert on the fast break. Bennis Sur able to corral the rebound, go up on his own. >> Heritage will take a timeout after back-to-back turnovers. We'll be right back here on BHMSD TV. >> You're watching Bluton Tigers athletics on BHMSDTV, brought to you by the Bluffton High School Student Broadcasting Club.

Turnovers for both teams here early in the second half. Tigers with backto-back makes gives them only a three-point lead. However, looks like they'll come out in a little bit of on ball pressure from Chase Kler. Pressure working early here for the Tigers as the Patriots almost throw the ball away. >> Patriots almost throw the ball away yet again, but Bennett Ser will get called for the foul looking for the ball >> as he'll come out of the game as that's his third foul. Andy Bumgardner will replace him. Uh while we're on the break, uh in again are two of the freshman in Vince Lambert and Chase Kistler. Uh Vince Lambert again, another lethal three-point shooter added to this Tigers already very strong guard squad as you mentioned him. He gets the steal and draws the foul in the low corner >> near the basket. Tigers will get the possession back.
Tigers looking to be a little more efficient on offense. Done so far so far here in this third quarter as they look in the post. Chase Kissle will travel with the ball on the ground looking for an open player around the perimeter as the Patriots will get the ball back. Tigers coming out in more pressure. Really getting those traps near half court. >> Looks like Andy Bungard will pick up the foul >> on the reach in. referee stopped the play for a second. Looks like we'll resume action. Brady Bole with the three. Won't fall. Jackson Kerr able to crowd the offensive rebound. Gets the right hand layup. puts the Patriots within one here >> as that is his 10th of the game being one of only two scorers here for the Patriots. >> Only other scorer was Brady Bole with a lone three-pointer. >> Reed Abble will take one of his own.
Won't connect. Andy Bungardner almost able to force the ball off of the Patriots. Officials will say possession to Heritage. Three minutes left to go here in this third quarter as the Tigers lead by only one 14-13 over the Patriots. Very lowscoring game here, opposite of what we saw in the C team contest prior to this. >> Patriots pass deflected by multiple Tigers as the possession will stay on this end. >> Substitution for the Patriots number 14 Dalon Calhoun. We'll give Een Meyer a break. One of those primary ball handlers you've seen carrying the ball the top of the key for the Patriots. Brady Bole with another three gives the Patriots the lead. >> Puts him up to six. >> Some much needed Patriot momentum here as they just been struggling to find the bottom of the basket. Tigers now with their own turnover. Chase Kler draws the foul on the fast break before the shot.
Number 15. >> Another substitution for Heritage. Number 15, Jordan Rooks. >> Looks like Cameron Kolinsky also in for the Tigers. Patriots not looking as aggressive so far with four players out on the perimeter. >> Gibson Grezer almost able to come away with the ball. Three-point shot for the Patriots in the corner. No good. able to corral the rebound out on the right wing. >> Looks like Gibson Grezer will draw the foul on the drive from number three Sawyer Teley. >> Went up for the layup. Got hit on the arm. Looks like he'll get two shots at the line here. three. >> As we saw early in the first quarter, Grezer picking up that first foul with uh legit only 10 minutes having been played up to that point, which is not something you wanted to see for your primarily ball handler, primary point guard, but he has remained clean throughout the rest of the game as that is only a second foul.
>> Officials call a lane violation. shot will not count and Bluffton will get the possession. >> Gibson Grezer crosses the 10-second line. Just over a minute here left in the third quarter. Tigers down two, 14 to 16. Patriots very aggressive on ball defense. leave Reed Abbott open on the wing, however, able to knock down three and give the Tigers the lead back. >> Tigers with some ball pressure of their own here. It's the Patriots yet again with four players on the perimeter before the basket cut. Gibson Griezer able to knock the ball away on the dribble drive. gets fouled on a drive to the zone. >> Number two, >> looks like number 12, Harold Lawrence will check back in for the Patriots.

There's >> a lot of on ball pressure here for the Patriots. Definitely seeing a lot more physical aggressive defense here in this third quarter as the game gets a little tighter coming down to the wire. Reed Abbott will take the corner three. >> Won't fall. So, we'll get a foul as Cameron Kolinsky had the ball on the ground and they'll call the push on the Patriots. >> Foul be on number 12, Harold Lawrence. Tigers will get the ball.

And they turn the ball over to the Patriots. >> 5 seconds now and they commit the foul. 34k. >> Cameron Klinsky with the foul. That's his third. Only 4 seconds, however, left in the quarter.

Just a little under 5 seconds left. missed it. >> Back in. No good. Patriots with the offensive rebound. >> They'll turn the ball over. Just point4 on the clock.
