001good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the bcsc live stream here on bcsc youtube channel we want to thank you guys for joining here for this unusual tip-off time here at 2 30 but we are excited that we are able to bring back boys high school basketball tonight i have zach and colin with me zach how are you doing this afternoon i'm doing pretty good i'm doing pretty good i'm glad to be back called the girls game last night ready to call the guys this afternoon yeah well we have an unusual opponent here columbus east is taking on evansville central i don't can't remember the last time we played evansville or a team out of evansville i should say but evansville central is coming into this game with a 2-2 record and 1-0 in
002their conference play the bears have won against conference opponent vincent lincoln with a score being 64-62 and indianapolis metro with a score being 72-53 their two losses happen to terre haute north and terre haute south zak all but one game has been close for the bears their week one was they lost by five in their second game they ended up winning by two they lost by ten in their last game so zach how do these close games and the start of the season help with finishing out the season well it sounds like they definitely play each opponent tough they there's no really wiggle room for air and so that really helps you down later in the season to figure out who your closer is and whether or not you're able to close out a game
003efficiently and effectively evansville central is two hours and 45 minutes away so zach how important is it to travel and end up starting the game very well here well they got to be able to come off the come off the bus and have energy they got to bring their own energy obviously there's not as many people as you would want in a gym at a time like this but they got to be able to bring their own energy there might be a little cramped little tired from sitting on that crowded bus but again they just got to come out and play play the way they want and have their own energy well the bears teams uh they average 60 points 23.8 rebounds 11.5 assists and eight steals so zach on paper this bears team looks
004like a very good well coached and well rounded team it should be a good one we have tonight here in the orange pit i agree definitely should be a good game well we'll transition over to the home team the columbus east olympians they've really gotten off to not a great start as they are still winless and looking for their first one of the season but zach we've seen a lot of bright spots such as scoring scoring really hasn't been the problem but personally what do you think's been the problem for this olympian well at the end of games they just seem to not be the team they were the first first three quarters they just seem to go cold in the fourth quarter their defense isn't as strong and they just lose their offensive identity
005i think if they figure out who their closer is and that they just focus a little bit better in the fourth quarter i feel like they'll be able to pull out the game that they that they should have won but instead they have an l in the in the column one thing we mentioned that evansville central they have to get off the bus get their minds out and most importantly be ready to come out and play with that zach how can that and be a favor to us in tonight's matchup well like you said they just came off a two-hour 45-minute bus ride that's a long haul so if i was east i would try and see whether or not they're they're awake and they'll try and run them try and run them in transition
006try and run them with some quick game stuff so we'll see if we'll see if the bears are awake coming off that coming off that long bus ride this basketball team is led by several seniors such as tyler boyer jacob pierce and daniel murphy and as a team they are averaging 72.3 points per game and zach to me that's quite a bit of points for high school basketball it is good 72 points is definitely above average for the amount of points you should score in a high school basketball game and they are averaging 24 rebounds 16.3 assists and shooting 47 percent on the season so zach we have just uh over a minute to go but i'll send it over to you and to do your report on which each of these teams do tonight
007to come away with the victory well i'm watching the warm-ups here first time really seeing evansville bears here and they appear to be all about the same same height give or take two or three inches now the roster risks them as about some of them a six four six three i don't i'm not sure about that you know sometimes they juice them for juice them for college and recruiting purposes but that may be accurate but again they don't really have anybody that towers towers over people they're kind of all within the six foot range so so that's good to see for east um definitely i think they should get the ball into their players hands their best scoring and playmakers hands and that's pearson boyer and murphy have them handle the ball and try to
008do the best they can to get the ball in the basket and facilitate for others well i know one thing the boys at least for the columbus olympians they have been well i left the weight room around noon and they were still they half of the team was here shooting around so i'm sure that these boys are ready to go and ready to get that w and their winning column here so we're underneath a minute to go here before tip-off and i will send it over to dennis pierce for the national anthem and starting lineups [Music] good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the orange pits here on the campus of columbus east high school and the home of olympian basketball as this afternoon we proudly present an ihsaa high school regular season contest

011channel we would greatly appreciate it so here we go daniel murphy doing the tip for columbus east and number 23 brady cato doing the tip for the bears and here we have it 2 30 tip off here in the orange pit and the bears win the tip here let's see what we're going to see here tonight from the bears offensively looks like a man-to-man look for the olympians here a lot of pass and cuts seems like there's zach for the bears yes it looks like a type of weave offense so far for the bears a long three taken by the bears and up and good number 10 blake herndoz heard this excuse me with the basket that is their sophomore great player there stat wise as that shot is missed and he blake does get
012the rebound gets inside kicks it out for the three hesitates pulls it back out 7-10 remaining to go here in the first quarter two hours in 45-minute drive for evansville central and they are look wide awake here zach what's your take has a long threes taken and once again and off the mark and an offensive rebound we saw that last night in the first half for girls offensive rebounds was the key factor there as another three's taken up and good for evansville central cayden byrd with the three east has got to get out of the shooters a lot quicker and close out a lot faster in order for them to be successful tonight that's tyler boyer's threes off in no good 6 25 remaining to go another three up and another three is good for
013this bears team i think they're definitely awake i agree i think all they've taken is three-point shots tonight so far east is the one who looks who looks tired to open up this game and they haven't played in over two weeks this could be a little bit what we saw last night the hiatus of of being a quarantine for that long sometimes you just come out a little bit of rusted and flat and i think that's what east has come out with again here this afternoon let's see what's gonna happen here another three point shot or i think after a bucket here we might see a timeout taken the last shot was missed by reekers and a turnover committed by the bears 5 43 remaining to go here in the first quarter reekers pushes the
014ball up to murphy cross court to pierce gets inside baseline jump shot up and nothing but net for the first points tonight belongs to jacob pierce a nice ball fake coming a nice pump that coming off the coming off the swing pass and a pump fake fake the pass and a good 10 foot jump shot there as another threes taken up and off the mark maybe a heat check there an offensive rebound for number 14 london morris two offensive rebounds he's had and it's resulted in second chance points as boyer dribbles to his left passes it off to pierce down low to tyler boyer shot us up and good two points for tyler boyer and the olympians so laid down the pre-game plan the only two two scorers tonight for east so far pearson boyer
015i think that's the recipe for success tonight they got to do that almost every possession to have a chance and a turnover committed by the bears as silva's bringing the ball down the court he pulls it back out across to murphy he gets inside and we're gonna have a hold a foul committed by the bears we're gonna have our first sub tonight senior casey bartholomew olympians have been out rebounded here so far let's see if casey is gonna be able to do what his specialty is and that size and rebounding so the first foul committed goes to evansville as it's down low inside to casey and does not get the shot to fall and a strong rebound by 23 brady cato for this bears basketball team and great help there and a stolen by tyler
016boyer two one one two on three excuse me fast break tyler boyer's shot is up and no good warrior looked like he was gonna be expecting contact there he kind of kind of hesitated a little bit i was definitely thinking he was going to get hit too obviously didn't risk that and that worked out for the bears there 408 on the clock olympians 4 evansville central 11. as blake fires up a three up and off the mark great box out there by casey that silva comes up with the rebound pass it off sue boyer in the corner pierce he gets inside sirikers hesitates spins gets inside up and short great move there but gets his own rebound back out to silva a couple passes there casey finally gets the ball he's being patient looks like
017they're going to resetting the offense here now silva has it at the top of the key dribbles around the half court line dribble sue is left hesitates hands it off to bartholomew kind of the same thing we've been seeing with with the bears here in the offensive end lots of dribble handoffs and weaves and screening away for your teammate silva fires the baseline jump shot off the mark and tipped off the reekers great hustle there but evansville will get the ball as we have julian johnson and number five dylan mears in for the bears maybe a couple speed guys in for the bears as he powers his way up and off the mark but rebounded by silva passes it off to reekers on the right side of the court in the corner of pierce he
018takes the three up in nothing but net three ball is good with 240 remaining to go here in the first quarter five points for pierce i think the subs the bears are brought in are definitely their definition of athlete they're long they're quick and they're athletic i have a feeling they definitely basketball is not something they excel at as well definitely other sports great team defense so far here on this possession kicks it out in the corner to blake and he pump fakes great switch there and great talk by the olympians on the defensive end and three balls up and nothing but net 424. caden bird better offense from the bears there and stolen by blake the sophomore one of their leaders and 21 muscles his way up but doesn't get it to fall on
019offensive rebound once again and finally a missed shot and great play there by then to get the shot to fall and we're gonna have daniel murphy check back in for casey bartholomew i thought casey brought some good minutes there so far the only points tonight comes from pierce and boyer see if somebody else can get it going tonight for the olympians as dana murphy looks at the three gets inside jump stops up and good daniel murphy for two three leading scorer three so the only three scorers so far this afternoon 115 on the clock 9 to 14 is our score a three ball is up and off the mark and pierce with the rebound between the legs tries to draw a foul great pass to silva and misses the shot great offensive series there but
020could not get the result they wanted to go under a minutes ago 9 14 is our i score pierce down there calling out how many seconds 21's been in the lane i think that's definitely something to look at as well c gets inside and the turnover committed by the bears 35 seconds from the clock might be holding it for one last shot here let's see what coach chitty and his players come up with here in the last 30 seconds as murphy has the ball dribbles it to the circle does some dribble moves and great defense there by evansville central with 16 seconds to go here this will be huge to go into the second quarter as silva has the ball screen set by boyer pierce gets inside 18-foot jump shot up and good excuse me
021off the mark he draws the foul there that was a big flop and that's the correct call by the referee there pierce is not going to be knocking over that kid like that that's a flop and a half right there julian johnson picks up his first 3.8 seconds is on the clock and pierce is at the line for two and the first one is up and good this is going to be an answering battle going down the stretch with pearson number 21 for the bears both great long athletes i think it's going to be a good matchup going down the stretch as the second one is good two points at the line four here skips him seven and one last shot and it is up and no good so there we have it with pierce
022ending the quarter with two big free throws clemency olympians down three heading into the second quarter and now and i'll send it over to the columbus east cheerleaders there we have it our columbus east cheerleaders so 11 to 14 is our score zach what was your take on that first quarter there by both teams so far it's definitely an exciting game to call that's for sure it's been up and down athletic interesting to see gamepl this game goes down the stretch so the scoring for the olympians through one daniel murphy with two pierce with seven and boyer with two quarter looks like i scratched it i was gonna say it looks like boyer's gonna be taking a break but i just see him now so apologies from that so the starters in once again we
023only had one sub for the olympians tonight as we mentioned earlier on ben major is not dressed do not know the reason but just he is not dressed tonight and we're gonna have a tribal violation committed by the olympians it may have something to do with coronavirus as to why ben is not dressed tonight not sure though if i had to guess that's what it is as number five dylan mars is bringing the ball down the court as daniel murphy switches and picks him up quite a bit of threes taken there in the first quarter for this bear stevens by pierce there to cause that travel he wasn't expecting him to slide over like that 7 37 to go here in the second quarter silva passes it to murphy he dribbles to his left hands
024it off to pierce passes it to boyer as reekers picks his dribble up passes it off to boyer so zach what is the point as handing it off and just passing into keeping the ball outside the three-point line here sometimes you just gotta probe a little bit probe a little bit on offense to see if you're gonna be able to find a weak spot in the defense that shot was off the mark and a travel violation committed by the bears i think that was actually a carry travelation or violation there excuse me he just kind of lost lost control of the ball what happens so silva brings the ball down the court crosses over to his right and pass it off to reekers murphy has it silva back to reekers back to silva you can
025definitely tell the bears are really keyed on 33 and 31 trying to stop them as pierce gets inside shot is up and good jacob pierce with nine points here in just two quarters i think the bears have definitely opted to put some length on pierce the 24 looks to be one of their longer players has has been switched on to him to try and slow pierce down here as they're running kind of the same offense the olympians are doing and a wide open three is taken by 24. kaden bird and that shot is up and good he was hot behind the arc in the first quarter seems like every team we played so far they have really good three-point shooters this season and pierce gets the strong take up and good no answer for pierce
026right now timeout committed by evansville two-point ball game with 5 excuse me 5 59 remaining to go here in the second like we mentioned three-point shots against bedford kind of cost us the game they were lights out both halves and then you know you know we only silver creek was lights out too yeah we only see teams once once a year of how they play but it just always seems like whenever we play a team they just cannot miss especially from the three-point line i think they've only missed one or two three-point shots and they've hit about four or five so again they just seem to be red hot whenever they play us but olympians keeping it close here hopefully they'll be able to cut down on those three pointers made and they'll keep this
027game a little bit closer maybe take the lead we want to thank you guys for tuning in once again to this live stream i want to thank our sponsors columbus auto group and forced construction for sponsoring these videos tonight two point ball game here after a timeout taken by evansville central gets inside kicks it out and a strong take off the mark and a strong rebound by jacob pierce as reekers has it in the right wing gets inside spins back to his right great move but off the mark offensive rebound by daniel murphy and could not get that one to fall and rebounded by reakers again and they finally get a shot to fall that's how you stay with it right there two offensive rebounds and a two-point layup again so tight ball game here
0285 15 to go here in the second quarter 17 17 is our score i think each team's woken up now they finally get the pregame jitters out and kind of just settle them down to a group of things here it looks like i definitely agree with that i think evansville was i think evansville was awake to begin with but east just had a little bit of that that quarantine uh quarantine defect they just had to come out and wake up a little bit after being off so much silva takes a three big three ben silva fourth three gives the olympians a one-point lead with 4 35 remaining to go here in the second big shot there he just stepped right into that one and fired it away and sank the three-point shot three-pointers like that
029will maybe stretch out the bears defense to try and get some driving lanes and kick out threes as gina murphy picks up the rebound and he's gonna take it all the way and off the mark kind of fooled him there thought he was gonna the defender was gonna take a charge they've done that a couple times now the bears have they look like they're going to initiate some contact whether that be with a with a foul or a charge and they just kind of step away it's an interesting tactic but it's worked so we'll take a short break and hear a word from one of our sponsors columbus auto group with a commercial by them why is the columbus auto group the number one destination for your vehicle needs it's the no vulture zone duh

032it's been working so far they've only had one sub as daniel murphy gets that one to fall and can convert on the n1 if he converts this free throw here [Music] number 10 blake hearns picks up his second team's third and the free throw is up and good olympians getting some momentum here 352 left in the second let's see if they can continue that going into halftime that could be big for the olympians down the stretch as blake hearns takes a seat that is a big blow for this evansville bears team as he's one of their leading scorers here as they get it down inside kicks it out in the corner down low to 21. julian johnson johnson is definitely an athlete he likes that low post you can tell he's been that's where he
033hangs out most of the time he's going to hang out down there i think the referee definitely needs to take a look at three seconds for sure i don't think he's violated yet but he's gotten close a few times and a strong take there by number five dylan moore's see if the olympians can answer back here as pierce uses the screen from boyer and boyer's gonna take a three up and good tyler boyer for three assists from jacob pierce big shot there to put us up five with 250 to go here in the second quarter tyler boyer comes in averaging 25 points a game quite a bit of points for a high school basketball player as that goes off the foot of evansville and we're gonna have another sub julius daly and for will reekers
034let's see how the subs can do with the starters out here see if they can keep up that same energy to start us abroad tonight as the long jump shot is off the mark and rebounded by 23 brady keto maybe not the best shot selection there long two nobody could have stepped back out for a three if you're gonna shoot something like that as tyler boyer picks up his first foul and teams first and will put number five dylan mears at the line four two and it hit back iron and off the mark he gets one more shot here and it falls so one point on the trip there for evansville central as general murphy passes it to jacob pierce back to boyer in the corner to silva daniel murphy spins to his left kicks
035it out so jacob pierce 4 up and in and out but a rebound and an offensive foul committed by 34 julius daly i think he may have he may have extended his hands on that rebound i think i look like he may have done that so number 11 is taking the ball out gabe goodly and dylan mears is bringing the ball down he's had some crucial points and minutes off the bench for this evansville basketball team as well as julian johnson number 21. he really hasn't scored much but just his presence on the court as that's stolen by daniel murphy and he misses the dunk wow that would have been amazing i know he's worked awfully hard on that to get his vertical up as that one goes for dylan mars excuse me mirrors and
036a wide open julius daly threes up in off the mark and put back off the mark by daniel murphy and he's going to pick up a foul i think the olympians just need to slow down a little bit they're getting ahead of themselves here and real reakers checks in for silva daniel's first team's third 121 remaining to go here in the second quarter the energy's definitely picked up a lot here in this second quarter by both teams as pierce picks up number five and we're going to have a offensive foul a legal screen may be committed by the bears yeah i said the legal screen whenever he was coming off the drag i think that i think the screener definitely i think moved over a little bit on the screen and london morris is checking
037in a six-foot guard senior and sexton in for julian johnson he will take a seat i think all four of the five starters are in for this bear's team might finish out this first half there's a minute left i think the olympians might hold for one but we'll see what happens we saw that last night holding it for quite some times kind of a difficult task here so we'll see as murphy kicks it out to daley he passes it to pierce and he dribbles to his left kicks it to murphy on the left wing in the corner is boyer back to murphy 40 seconds on the clock in this second quarter as reekers passes it to daily here zach might be right holding it for one last shot but a defensive foul committed by with
03829 seconds on the dot to go here in the second quarter jacob pierce is looking to take the ball out and murphy sets a screen for boyer and murphy will end up getting the ball here with 25 seconds to go on the clock and he's going to drive inside kick it to boyer and julius daly that was close to the half court line there zach olympia's got to be careful they've made some risky passes in this past minute they've seriously held the ball for a minute and a wide open layup is off the mark and almost rebounded by julius daly but seven seconds to go here see if evansville can get a shot to fall as casey bartholomew's going to check in for boyer and krase bergman will check in for daniel murphy this could
039tie the game or take the lead here for evansville olympians brought the subs in to try and prevent some fouls for their starters jump stop one second and a travel violation but 0.1 seconds on the clock you can't do anything with that one so the olympians will go into halftime with the two-point lead so there we have it folks our first half the olympians up two 26-24 zach what was your take on that first hat well i was glad to be back to announcing games that was a fun game to call really tight really up and down type game with lots of energy so so far olympians up by two going into halftime we'll see if they'll be able to take that going at the end of the game with the olympians up 26-24 so

042freshman at ball state university and what are you majoring in at ball state i'm majoring in digital sports production i'm also part of a program called sports it's where we do all of our own sports covered coverage for every single sport at ball state ranging from football to soccer to swimming men's and women's everything you can think of and we do it all we produce games for espn whether it's basketball baseball soccer swimming we shoot highlights we do cover stories anything you can think of we do that so i've noticed you've been working you worked for espn a couple football games what's been your favorite thing to do for them during the games my favorite thing to do is definitely shoot highlights that's kind of the most basic answer but it's true you get standing
043on the sideline you get a camera you get to be around all the players obviously this year is different we can't get as close or as personal with them but it's still just as fun to be able to be down on the sidelines and what's been your outside of that what's been your favorite memory so far going in after your first semester of college my favorite memory from my first semester is definitely the crazy mac west uh division title game um it was you probably saw it on social media or on sportscenter the crazy ending i was actually a part of the media and the players that ran out on the field too early so that was definitely the craziest memory i've had for my first semester well there you have it colin phillips our
044camera man thank you so much and we are three minutes away until the start of the second half welcome back as you can see evansville central is already out warming up two-point ball game here i'm sure coach walker has given them some halftime adjustments here so zach what are some halftime adjustments you would do if you're uh evansville central try to beat this olympian team um if i was them i'd try and see who's gonna be the best defender for pierce so far they've had really no answer for jacob pierce so far and maybe double teaming maybe put their longest best defender on them i don't know they've got to figure that out and make someone else beat them so far for east they have not come out in the court yet the clock is
045paused at three as by hsa rules have to wait for the other team to come out but oh actually it looks like they're coming out here right now so clock started and but yeah so if i was east um i would definitely try and still get the ball to pierce and see who's going to be some complimentary pieces around him today pierce has it so far and maybe see if boy or murphy will be able to compliment him try and get some more points for the olympia to grow that lead and come out with a victory tonight for the olympians scoring wise dania murphy with five ben silva with three will reekers with two jacob pierce leads away with 11 and boyer with five so quite a bit of people at least in the scoring
046column but we always hang around in the first half it's second half's been our problem all season so i'm wondering if coach shooti's really emphasized that let's finish a ball game here let's get on the winning column and get momentum going into they have a game saturday and then north they reschedule that one for tuesday so two big games back to back kind of if you say so so this one will be a huge momentum booster i think for this olympian basketball team i think for east the third quarters have been all right i mean they've been up or been in a close game but it's really been the fourth quarters that have just been the downfall of this team so far this year they have just not been able to look like the same
047team in the fourth quarter as a game so what once the fourth quarter comes around we'll see what type of team they want to be today just like i mentioned the game for saturday against greensburg is still on for this olympian basketball team are we going there or i think it is there i want to say so i will double check that one and tuesday night was supposed to be a freshman and jv game against martinsville but martinsville is in red due to covid so they are going to reschedule the northeast basketball game so that will be played at columbus north with all three teams playing and i'm sure we will bring you the live stream here see a crosstown rivalry if i had one of those in a while due to covid so i
048wonder when it was last time that east has won in football and both basketball teams beating north that should be i wonder when the last time that happened was under a minute to go here 40 seconds on the clock as a player zach i always hate at halftime you know you get something going and then you go into the locker room and take a break and you're trying to it just messes with my my mental or i should say zach what's your take on halftime you know halftime when we played football i think halftime for me was just was trying to get warm that's really the so the main reason why i i wanted to go into halftime was just to warm up because most of the time we were just cold and you got
049warmed back up and coaches it's also mostly for the coaches they kind of make their adjustments and try and get back to what maybe worked and see what see what they need to improve on so we'll see we'll see coming out of halftime who has the energy so there we have it half time is over evansville central will get the ball to start the second half and here we have it two-point ball game in favor of the olympians let's see if they can get the three-point shot working here that is evansville central as a great catch there and he stays with it gets a couple offensive rebounds and finally draws the foul and puts number 21 julian johnson at the line for two something i noticed he's able to jump and get back right on
050his feet and jump again he's very athletic and definitely it shows right there on that play right there let's see if he has a shooter's touch though at the free throw line yes it is up and good one point ball game ain't you see what that noise is behind this jacket what that sound is as that shot falls and ties the ball game up all evened up at 26. i was stumbling a little bit out of halftime because there's a loud type of noise coming from our from our back right there's a and one from will reekers it's just it sounds like something in the air duct system if i had to guess i'm not exactly sure but it's loud and kind of throwing us off a little bit i'm not sure if viewers at
051home were able to pick that up coming out of our mics but um hopefully that goes away soon as london morris checks out and number five dylan morris comes in a quick sub for this bearish team as reekers gets the n1 and gives him five points on this afternoon's ball game zach as a former bastard player yourself would you much rather play in the evening or kind of the 2 30 start because i feel like at seven o'clock you're sitting around all day well now it's different because normally you would go to school yeah i was gonna say exactly that with school i mean you don't really have a choice you kind of have to play that late but if it was in like the like the afternoon like this and you don't have anything
052else to do i think i think an afternoon is a great idea you get you get your game done in the in the afternoon you have the evening to do whatever you feel like you want to do so i think afternoon games are definitely something that should be implemented whenever there's no school as that three-point shot by the bears was off the mark and kick out in the corner two piers great no look pass there and pierce gets baseline kicks it out to boyer for three up and off the mark and a strong rebound by blake and that gets knocked away we have the numbers there three on two murphy in the corner 4-3 up and in and out and it's tipped but we'll go to evansville central man those could have been some big
053momentum and point swings for the olympians there just can't convert really close in and out on those shots as number five came off the bench here in the first half and in the second but he played quite a bit of minutes there in the first half from what i've seen he's been one of their one of their best ball handlers our main ball handler that's probably why he's probably playing here as the speedy reakers gets inside and off the mark but kept alive by tyler boyer gets the put back and boyer gets two points seven points for tyler boyer tonight so far the olympians have kept that energy they had in the first half coming out strong again in the third quarter 72.3 points we've averaged on the season i don't think we'll get quite
054there maybe close to it 31 points here with 5 55 remaining to go as 21 picks up the foul his third julian johnson and reekers gets to the right block and gets a spin to go will reekers five points here in the second half as the free throw jump shot excuse me he passed it off as blake hearns has the ball he's been quiet but he also got in foul trouble early on with i think he has three but he's one of their go-to scores as he fires a long three and off the mark and johnson gets it and slams it home julian johnson with the slam you can see that when he got the rebound he was looking to do that as soon as he got the ball that might be a momentum changer
055there normally those dunks get your team and bench going so let's see if that helps them come back into this lead as boyer passes it to virginia murphy and off the mark and rebounded by reekers and he kicks it out to boyer a basket here for the olympians is could be a good idea to try and level this momentum as murphy loses control of it and a turnover by the olympians and we're gonna have a sub 34 julius daly and for will reekers 33 28 4 30 remaining to go here in the third quarter i want to thank you guys for tuning in once again to this live stream we've had a great hand this excuse me great game on our hands tonight this afternoon i know i keep on saying tonight too but i
056know as great ball movement there by the olympians the seniors with the work bears again tried to do the pull the chair out technique looked like it's going to be contact didn't get any and pierce is ready for and able to convert on that layup as that shot falls for 23 brady cato as silva looks out of three but passes it off to julius daly right wing boyer has the ball great pass there kicks it out sue silva who hit one in the first and he does so in the second ben silva four to three people there from the olympians pass inside to the post and boyer knew where silva was going to be didn't even hesitate and got right to him right in the breadbasket for an easy wide open three nothing but net
057see if the evansville central bears can answer back as they were made quite a bit of threes in the first half but not so much here in the second as number five gets inside and throws up a shot a strong rebound by boyer throws it up court to julius daly he jump stops and off the foot oh bad call there i think by the red it was a close call from my angle i think it hit on four hit off the olympian's leg but the referee had the right angle on it i think coach chad's gonna try and argue it's not sure i couldn't really exactly tell what happened it was close as london morse checks back in for evansville central 2 55 to go here in the third quarter as blake hearns as the
058ball uses the screen and maybe one use the screen to get the mitch match up watch the lobby as 23 fires the jump shot up and good 23 brady cato with the backs excuse me with the bucket six point ball game timeout taken by evansville central it's kind of the worst thing to do zach you stumble up your words on live air and you gotta hurry up and correct yourself yeah it's not a good feeling but it happens to the best of them so if i'm right now if i'm east in this huddle coach titty definitely i think you're in a good position right now let's see if they're up by six with 244 left if it'd be great if they would be able to get this lead up to 10 going into the fourth
059quarter that'd be pretty big four points in high school basketball with the amount of time you play it's kind of a little bit bigger than playing in a college or college or nba setting so high school four points instead of a six point lead is definitely something to warrant as silva will take the ball out with daley and murphy will come down to help and they get it into murphy and back to silva silva crosses over behind his back great move fires up a three and off the mark and rebounded and kept alive by daniel murphy boyer takes the look out of three and short and rebounded by blake hearns and he's gonna push the ball down the court and finger roll scoop and score and pierce picks up his dribble and almost a turnover
060and murphy kicks it back to pierce he takes the three up and off the mark and a strong rebound [Applause] by murphy olympians getting a little trigger happy right now with the threes definitely think they should consider maybe slowing down and try and work go ahead and do what was working for him in the first half and that's moving the ball and getting good open threes seems like these threes are a little bit too rushed as you get inside the reekers and pierce great move gets inside floater in and out and rebounded by 14 london morris blake kearns has the ball and the corner passes it to the wing three ball is off the mark look good from here but two on one fast break great pass and reekers four to reekers has had a
061great second half scoring wise for the olympians as that is blocked by silva but a whistle looks like it might be ben silva picks up the foul maybe contact with the body but it looked like he got all ball on that one i think he got all ball with his hand he may have had contact with his body i think that's what the call was for 1 30 to go here in the third quarter 4 to 30 40 to 34. yes that shot is no good and we're gonna have casey bartholomew check in for silva and chris bergman for silva so four seniors on the courts for this olympians it's one of their strong suits is having a bunch of seniors on this seams leadership is key i think in high school sports as reekers
062gives it to pierce in the corner he takes a three and off the mark and there you pass it down the court and number five will draw the foul dylan mears goes to the line a hard contact fall there those are always hard to do when both teams are running down the court full speed and try to stop on a dime it's kind of hard to do with 117 remaining to go here in the third quarter as will reekers picks up his third i mean excuse me his first as that shot falls and gives him a four-point lead excuse me down four and he gets a second to fall and we're gonna have a sub number 23 brady cato and for julius johnson who had a great third quarter there for the for the bears
063looks like a full court press manpress look for the bears see if the olympics are able to break it and we gotta foul wow 23 brady cato his first team's third 113 to go three-point ball game back and forth we've had tonight just like last night zach a great game until the fourth quarter and they get it over half court and gives it to bergman a minute left let's see if the libyans elect to do what they did to end the half and that's hold the ball don't know if that's correct tactic here but we'll see as bergman has it gets inside and kicks it out to reakers 45 seconds to go here at big shots here before the olympians will put them either up five or six to go into the fourth quarter as
064bergman has it 30 seconds on the clock and passes it to reakers and pierce has it passes it to bergman 16 seconds to go here here we go zach called it last shot here casey passes it two reakers great hesitation floater up and great good half he's been great defensively and offensively and there we have it folks the olympians are gonna go in to the fourth quarter with the five-point lead and i will send it over once again to our columbus east cheerleaders cheerleaders macy kors shaylee derringer colleen davis elizabeth decker emma edwards eliza lewin alyssa murray carly shaw hayley smith sandra shrika camilo wilson and taylor young your head coach for your olympians hannah moore let's give up votes for your honesty's cheerleaders and there we have it our columbus east cheerleaders scoring for
065the olympians through three quarters murphy with five silva with six reekers with a solid 11 points got quite a bit of those here in the second half jacob pierce leads away still with 13 and tyler boyer with seven good stack keeping malcolm saw him doing his points that's all i got it's too hard to keep up the fast-paced game i agree this is gonna be an awesome eight-minute stretch of basketball here let's see who's the tougher team and can able to close out this game see if the olympians hopefully it's then the olympians are looking for their first win of the season i'm sure they want to get this done as reekers gets that one tipped but in the hands of pierce and he's gets the shot up and off the mark and a rebound
066by 23 brady cato and blake kearns is dribbling down the court hesitation gets inside finger roll up and no good but he does draw the fallon will be at the line for two free throws pierce has not looked the same since the first half he's not been very sharp coming out i think he's maybe trying to force things a little bit i think he just needs to calm down and maybe look to facilitate to his teammates a little bit more like on the last play there he had a couple people open as sophomore number 10 blake kearns 6-3 as the second one is off the mark did not get any points there on that trip bears have not been too efficient on their free throws this evening as casey bartholomew gets inside and throws it
067back to reakers bergman gets inside and he's going to throw this shot up and off the mark and he hit that one last and it will be bears basketball and julian johnson checks back in and daniel murphy checks in and as long with silva so the starting lineup tonight and for this olympian basketball team i have a feeling that this is going to be the lineup the rest of the quarter i don't think there's going to be any more subs unless for a foul or maybe just for a quick breather i notice every time julian johnson ends daniel murphy's guarded with him i think daniel murphy athleticism is very underrated yes as johnson has it murphy picking him up blake looks at a three he's hit quite a bit of those here in the first
068half but i don't think he's hitting one here in the second as johnson has it passes it to blake uses the screen pulls it out takes the three up and off the mark offensive rebound by johnson and gets that one to fall julian johnson 4-2 as silva's picked up by blake and silva pulls it out at the volleyball line passes it to pierce right wing in the corner silva at the top of the key is the boyer murphy two reekers silva comes off his screen and gets it hands it off to reekers here behind the back gets inside he's been money inside all night and he gets that one to fall strong take from reekers he's been what pierce was in the first half just been really strong takes and great execution 13 points for
069him and a three taken and an off the mark way off there by 24 kaden bird and transition three jacob pierce off the mark but rebounded by silva reekers who's been hot and just like that three-point made will reekers [Music] 16 points leads the way will reekers has stepped up big time here in the second half 30 second timeout taken by columbus east 538 remaining here in the fourth quarter zach you mentioned closing out games it looks like they're doing that so far yes they've been able to execute on their shots and they've been pretty strong defensively you hear the cheerleaders in the background i see my old basketball coach coach john john wilson coach if you if you see this the replay shout you out you always bring the energy a key note number
07035 mark kwan swanigan one of their key players for evansville central bears is not dressed as long with ben major for the olympian so two key losses for each of these teams but the olympians have really had many guys step up what may not be scoring but defensively or just their presence being able to draw defenders to get people open it's part of the team game people really don't realize how much team stuff actually goes into games and a great move julian johnson could not get that one to fall but he'll be at the line for two as daniel murphy picks up a foul just took it straight to the room with his athletic ability i mean that that is a rare si i've not seen seen a player that came in quite a while
071with just his pure raw athleticism one more foul committed by the olympians evansville will be in the bonus what's 5 22 remaining if this trend continues with the free throws i mean that's not really a factor at all they have they have not really converted very well with their free throws this could be a lot closer game if they did and he gets the second one to fall 47-39 up court to silva and he's going to slow it down might be a good call there and out of bounds olympian basketball 5 15 to go here in the fourth quarter and silva throws it back to reekers and pierce has it back door cut to murphy great cut there and he kicks it in the corner two reakers gets baseline floater up and good once again
072will reekers that boy is hot right now 18 points coming in almost to 20 points as blake looks out of three but dribbles it up great communication there by the players there you can hear the olympians fans getting into it here cheering on their team and off the mark rebounded by boyer in the corner pierce back to reakers just let reekers go to work it seems like here in the second half just let him do his thing and i think he has 16 points here in the second half as dingy murphy gets the shot to this fall ability starting to show up for east see if they continue it four minutes left in the fourth a stop here in a big shot on the other end for the olympians might just be a huge blow
073for this evansville central team and daniel murphy you know he was about to go and try to slam dunk that one one more time he wanted that one i don't know i don't know if he had the correct angle on it he might have but it would have been close i think they had some guys coming in from the middle court to try and try and counter that but he may have been able to and they get it in two boyer 3 50 to go here in the fourth quarter you can definitely see evansville central's defense kind of pick up as they're trying to come back and boyer draws a foul and puts him at the line for two the worst thing as a visiting team is when you lose and have to drive back
074home so two hours and 45 minute drive back after a loss it's gotta not be a good feeling for this team if they don't come back here and there's things that you know you can control like making free throws they miss a lot of free throws here that might put this game a little closer here and some of the shot selection here in the second half has not been good i don't personally think for evansville as a three ball is up and off the mark and a fight for the basketball and finally kept alive by evansville multiple bodies going everywhere and they finally get it here and he's going to take another one and a block by tyler boyer close call there i wasn't able to see what happened i had a player standing right
075where my angle is i didn't see if he slid or not but probably the correct call so there we have it east excuse me evansville central is in the bonus here looks like he made this shot zach so he's at the line for one i did not i did not see the shot fall either but i was i lost tyler fall to the ground i didn't even see the shot go in i guess it did great take there by dylan mears 321 to go 10-point ball game as reekers crosses over gets to the left and boyer looks to get inside back to reakers great pass there and tipped and out of bounds olympian basketball and they get it all the way to jacob pierce with three minutes to go here olympians inching closer for their
076first win of the season as reekers pulls it back out that's one thing that's been evident it's physical it's been a very physical game one thing i've noticed here in the second half the olympians have done a great job is keeping this the court spread wide open for people to drive in and have open lanes is that is off the mark is that rieker's first miss of the second half might be he's been hot and the three ball is off the mark great box out there by silva to keep julian again let's see if deana murphy what he's gonna great move and could not keep his feet there and boyer gets it and gets the shot to fall tyler boyer for two nine points for tyler boyer definitely close to a travel on from that
077last last possession there i think he might have kept his may have kept his foot down i not sure it's close could have gone either way some of these rafts some of the stuff the coaches tell them that i give them some credit just to keep their calm personally i don't think i'd be able to do it yeah as a fan watching colson pacers game sometimes sometimes it's best that i'm watching the game at home on tv especially the last game against the steelers that was i got pretty heated 220 on the clock 12 point ball game in favor of the home team the columbus east olympians scoring for the olympians murphy with seven silva with six the one and only will reekers with 18 jacob pierce for 13 and tyler boyer with nine pretty
078pretty even distribution of points don't you think oh for sure and then we're gonna have maybe boyer can get one more shot to fall three players in double figures that's pretty good here in high school basketball with only eight minute quarters 215 on the clock here east just needs about two or three more stops and they'll be able to close this one out as the three ball is off the mark but rebounded by 23 brady cato and gets this lead back to a 10-point ball game silva cuts to the middle gets it and back to reekers and a great move there by pierce as daniel murphy hesitates and definitely going to kill some time off the clock here with no shot clock it's the best thing to do here and boyer cuts inside and off
079the mark could have been his 11th point and jacob pierce is going to take a block foul a strong take there by jacob pierce close to being a charge definitely should not have counted he initiated contact and then he shot it bears trying to argue that he was shooting when he initiated contact right call by the ref there and he converts the first one players saw the n1 counted but the refs thought otherwise as the second one is up and good 134 remaining as the ref dropped his mass there i think yeah evansville i think called a timeout so 134 to go here full time out zach you will send it over to our commercial here to hear a word from our sponsor columbus auto group why is the columbus auto group the number one

082and a full-time out taken once again by evansville central north looks like we're gonna have number 14 london moore's check-in for this bears team this olympian's team does not need to lose focus here as they have 124 remaining to try to keep this lead alive and here we have it our columbus east cheerleaders eh so zach i didn't get to watch the pacers game but i saw they lost did you get to watch some of it yeah i did they just kind of lost focus at the end they had possession where they're down by then i think two and they just kind of lost the ball and then they had another possession where they just lost the ball again so they just kind of lost their focus at the end kind of what he used
083to do right now but still a manageable lead and hopefully they would recapture that focus for the last minute 24. looks like evansville is going to bring their press here as they get it into tyler boyer back to silva and to the left-hand side is reekers a foul committed by number five dylan mars and civility will take it out looks like they're gonna hit reekers on the other side of the floor here and it looks like the olympians will be in the bonus might be putting in some shooters here to get some more option for offense reekers who has been red hots here in the second half as he gets stopping to fall 19 points for reekers can he get 20 510 junior guard will reekers and he looks at his 20th point there he
084has it 20 points for will reekers looking at a three-point shot maybe here taken and blake hearns takes the three and off the mark great rebound there by reekers and he'll be at the line again for two free throws excuse me the one-on-one the ref for evansville central coach walker really wasn't happy with that foul but you see there's that i think he has a fair reason to be upset that looked like a poke job from five to get that ball out and i think that's i think he has a fair argument a little reeker's looking at 21 and 22 points here and he gets that one to fall would you give him the player of the game award tonight here zach yeah i was looking like pierce early on but as as the games
085kind of progressed i think it's definitely should go to reakers he's been been the reason why this game is the way it is up to 22 now right 22 points correct and off the mark and silva with the rebound and he's going to be at the line for the one-on-one if i'm not mistaking reekers have had 20 points here in the second half excuse me no he had five in the first half still quite a bit of points evansville central's last game they ended up losing by 10 as well so as silva gets that one to fall silva with seven points and silva with eight and a long three from the volleyball line blake kearns gets that one not to fall in a long rebound and another three up and off the mark and rebound
086by boyer and that might be all she wrote here in the orange pit and a foul committed [Applause] by the bears 30.3 seconds remaining here this will be a great way to kind of end your break here for these young men as they are going to pick up their first win and that free throw is short i think pierce might be a little bit tired he's you know everybody's had the hiatus and he was kind of bringing that energy in the first half but fatigue may be a big factor as he doesn't convert there as blake's gonna get inside for some maybe garbage points i should say as blake kearns gets the two-point basket to fall with 23 seconds on the dots remaining here in the fourth quarter 21 julian johnson timeouts like that or
087just just kind of say to your team you know be smart don't do anything you know stupid and just just kind of finished it came out uh sportsmanship was foreign and there we have it our columbus these [Music] cheerleaders at 6pm varsity contest at 7 30 this saturday hope to see versus greensburg no shocker there evansville's going to come out with the press and reekers gets it in and gets it to daniel murphy and he will throw it and draw the foul there would you have done that zacker pulled it out and just let the time run out i'll probably just pull the pull the ball out get the game over with but maybe he just wanted to status pass stat is pat's excuse me he's at seven points so he can get nine points
088here at this strip and this is the first substitution 11 golden number 20 elisha singer back in for the bears and miss both of them there as blake gets two points there and that will seal the deal tonight here [Applause] and there we have it folks your columbus east olympians wins their first game of the season with a score of 61-53 over evansville central bears evansville's falls to two and three and the olympians go to one and four on the year a big win there for this basketball team zach what was your take on tonight's game well olympians finally got the first one of the season they had a really good game really good game plan and they had some unexpected players step up for him rakers had a fantastic game pierce had a strong
089first half and fell off in the second half he did not come out the entire game i don't believe so he may have been a little bit fatigued but you know just a good overall game for the olympians no way they can build on that going into the going into the rest of the season so some stats for tonight junior murphy seven points ben silva with eight and the one and only will reekers ended tonight with a strong second half and gave him 22 points on this afternoon's game jacob pierce with 13 and tyler boyer with nine so a great all-around win for this olympians basketball team so the olympians will be back in action saturday at greensburg and then you have the crosstown arrival against columbus north so two tough opponents there we all
090know about columbus north and who they have so we want to thank you guys for tuning in this afternoon any last final words there zach uh we'll probably be calling the tuesday game correct i would assume so yeah maybe some help with some north people but okay so there we have it i want to wish you guys all a happy new year and hopefully you guys are safe during the holiday and that's all she has for colin zak and i have a good rest of your evening i should say and enjoy the weekend and be
