005the perimeter back to Graham no on the wrong side here [Applause] back to number two Dean kleffman resets the offense trying to figure out where the openings are in that two3 zone into big number 52 up with the shot and that's good Albert Marsh and just like that Rock Creek is down the floor that is some quick speed right there there that was a real nice pass down low wasn't it Nate yeah and you know if you can get your your big game established under ofne that's going to open it up for Shooters number five up with the shot no good rebound by number 12 out of [Applause] [Music] bounds and Mal healthy will go ahead and take the ball down the floor Graham prer setting the offense getting a good screen there and up
006again out of bounds you can tell what Mount healthy's philosophy will be here too get it into the big guy underneath and let him do his thing shot number 12 up no good offensive rebounds number three up with the shot that's Gregory craft nice pass by the big man there number 32 says I have something to match that with Will Hellwig up with the shot looks like Mount Healthy is in their own version of The Zone perhaps a one two2 number 22 with the offensive rebounds couple of quick rule things here to let you know the boys do shoot from the 15ft free throw line and number 22 Drew hinger shows you how easy that is looks like we have a Timeout on floor it's always getting a nice uh swish on your first of
007two yes yes indeed what a beautiful sound in this gym on this Saturday morning get a little bit of time here let's see if we can't get through some of these Mount Healthy Eagles we have um Isaiah Smith number 33 we have Albert Marsh number 52 Dean kleffman number two Jaden Lloyd number 40 Graham ker number one Landon rinet number 12 number 11 Coulson Lush number 14 diesel Craig number 32 will Hellwig 20 IC and leggings number 42 Tanner juwel and number Connor R darte Miss shot up again good shot fake number five up no good number 24 with the offensive rebound shot goes up and again kuster has been very active so far down for the Rock Creek Bulldogs the big man we heard from coach Matt Wallace that he would definitely be active
008and he's showing that early in the game first one's up oh bangs it right in [Applause] there and I can tell you right now if I was uh Mount Healthy coach one thing I'd be a little bit concerned about is that Rock Creek seems to be owning the offensive boards second shots up and [Applause] good and we got a little bit of full court pressure here full court pressure in the ebl league is allowed as long as you're not up by more than 10 [Applause] points you know speaking of full court pressure your Southside Mustangs have got quite a full-court press don't they well we we do okay um they like to get after it and um you know we work hard they work hard and you know just defense is something that you have
009to love over love do it pretty well oh number two it's an over and back call there that might just be some of those first game Jitters trying to orient yourself on the court mat healthy comes out in their one two2 zone number five up with the shot no good good some Rock Creek there's that pressure again balls up and good all right so this is not a timeout by the coaches but this is part of E's experiment this year with a running clock and the five minute rule so it is an officials timeout for us to make substitutions balls in down the floor Rock Creek stays in her two three Zone and they're going to DARE number 11 to take that shot oh and he gets the offensive rebound hard for the ball way
010to fight for it shots up and good oh my [Applause] goodness that offensive rebound led to that opportunity right there try to punch it inside number 40 is down the floor he's going to drive it in draw the [Applause] contact Jaden lyd is at the line just a little strong on that first free throw and we got Rock Creek on the Move sloppy pass there they got picked up good thought though oh look at that what do we have oh yes indeed number 20 tried to draw the charge tell you Joby if we were in the NBA Joby would probably be asking for the coach's Challenge on that cuz I think he was right there there we go and it's a tie ball game with two and A2 minutes to play in the first quarter
011all right Mount Healthy number 11 good deflection good steal there's number 40 for the shot even though he was behind the three-point line the E does not recognize the three-point shots [Applause] in a little bit of trouble good steel and deflection number 30 is down oh good Court Vision there and we got good hustle right there jump ball our first jump ball of the Saturday [Applause] morning let's see here what will Mount Healthy have planned right underneath their basketall Rock Creek stays in their two3 [Music] [Applause] Zone there we go oh hang on now oh and as you said coach you know obviously they've had some time for practice but it is maybe a a little bit of first game Jitters yeah and just Orient orienting yourself here on the floor uh you know you
012play and practice in your own gym and then having to be somewhere else [Applause] oh again I tell you what both teams are wanting to get up and down the floor you can't fault them for wanting to push the offense and push the tempo of the game quick substitution all right 38 seconds left shots up no good I'm going to tell you Rock Creek has found a way to own the boards number 23 Tucker gorley 15 seconds left in the first quarter final possession most likely two good one oh and they couldn't get it off before the [Applause] Buzzard well we start this game or finish this quarter just like we started the game tied up 7 to S here are Mount Healthy Eagles [Music] something different with the uh chair this year most squads
013would carry players 11 or 12 uh but because of our covid situation uh We've split that in half so tonight cheering for the Mount Healthy Eagles is uh Jaden Felician uh Elena Higgins uh Natalia Romas Perez Macy robinet and Kaye Wallace coach you've spoken to a couple of things that are we're doing differently you know as a coach as well as a teacher you know what are your thoughts on how how we're getting off to the start here in E with um obviously a different time with covid-19 well I think first and foremost and I think I think every coach will say we're just we're blessed to be able to play um and now we are we're just trying to learn how to to coach and adjust some of the things we've always been able
014to do you know are different um you know going through the line for example exle at the end of the game clapping hands uh telling the other team what a great job they've done um that's different um obviously you're the host as well yeah every day so that's got to change some things with practice as well right wait we talking about practice yeah we're talking about practice all right so you know again it's a sacrifice that that we are we are willing to make so that you know 10 other teams can enjoy this um we're figured it out and I I told our princip Jeff bachmeier assistant principal Kathy Jackson that will probably have this whole thing figured out um probably that week of December 14th when everything last that's pretty much the last week
015uh and again number 24 [Applause] yeah look for number 24 Reed to step in there yeah he's trying to get that he's already got the space cleared out there for a potential [Applause] [Music] rebound and looks like rock Creeks changed up their defensive philosophy looks like they are now matched up manto man and now back into their two3 Zone alignment swarming defense from the Bulldogs shots up and good number five Jax [Music] brandan more full court pressure there looks like Mount Healthy handled it pretty [Applause] easily uh-oh oh boy he didn't get both feet across that was close all right so tell you what with Mal healthy would they they've had success is they can swing the ball and get the ball to the other side of the Zone make the defense [Applause] shift tell
016you you'll have those purus of the game that cringe at the sight of elementary kids playing Zone I was just thinking you know how long Nate has Zone been allowed in ebl well let's see I'm in year 11 and it it took place before that um and what was happening was is that a lot of the kids who play aou were seen Zone ah and so that decision I well maybe 15 16 years ago they decided to go ahead and um let the teams play [Applause] zone tells you how old I am cuz I remember when I played elementary basketball we were not allowed to play zone right and you know it has its advantages and disadvantages that's number 22 beats everybody down the floor there's Drew hinger turning on the afterburners there yeah hofinger
017has definitely been active on both sides of the ball this morning and what a great take to the hole there he keeps playing like that Rock Creek may want to have all their games move to the morning there you go no but you'll see you know and those that have been around a long time you know we used to have the squads you know first and third quarter second and fourth quarter U but now the emphasis on just making sure the kids get uh 6 minutes or one quarter of playing time uh some coaches have different philosophies on how to do that um writing them down on an index card or some will make those adjustments right there I already have mine written out I said a trained monkey could probably figure out how to
018do my rotations I already have them I already have them written out and uh that's the way so they have some practice um you know practice time when we're not playing with that combination so 13 to7 Rock Creek with the lead seven minutes left in the second quarter good now he broke the Press now just get under control nice job Mount Healthy oh my goodness and I don't know if that's just Ro putting the pressure and extending them out there or just not being used to that yeah again first game number 33 puts a shot up no good guess who's there yep Custer again my [Applause] goodness definitely got some size as well as you can oh great defense Again by Rock Creek number five ja Brandman so now we got the we got the
019lead up to 10 so now you have to fall back and just play your half court defense oh oh good defense again number [Applause] 22 here we go number 33's got the ball down the floor be strong with it oh number 24 just rips it right out of his hands good ball nice [Applause] pass oh my goodness oh guess who and Custer guess [Applause] who I think they may call this their five minute substitution here stop the clock get new groups on yeah very quickly Rock Creek has extended their lead now to [Applause] 14 number one up with the shot no good look at that like a like a pack of pack of Bulldogs there just going after that ball Rock Creek will go with their two3 Zone to defend out of bounds pulls him
020out great pass just to get the ball in defense oo good Hustle 23 this time on the [Applause] boards there you go oh good shot number one Graham [Applause] prizer he's just getting used to the gym yeah you can tell fizer's got a really nice shot and just has to get used to the the gym and a new environment [Applause] all right let's see what Graham's going to do here getting things set up oh there you go it looks like they're going to try to trap out of that two three zone for Rock Creek Mount Healthy stays in their own version of their Zone with their one [Music] uhoh how in the world did he see that how in the world did he see that great job [Applause] number one up with the shot no
021good working hard for that offensive [Applause] rebound Corner shot [Music] [Applause] nope one-handed pass oh he beat everybody down oh oh I bet had that one again anticipating the contact because what a great pass from 40 to fizer down low on the on the [Applause] layup it's fun watching both coaches work the sidelines as the passes out of the there number 12 [Applause] up oh my now you know what I'm impressed that cheerleader down there didn't move one inch she did not flinch did she stayed right there in her [Music] spot good drive there number 15 looks like got a deflected 23 ends up with [Applause] it going to be a foul on Mount Healthy oh allaround good basket there on the offensive board I think Tucker kind of picks up where re to getting
022a rest there on the bench I tell you if there's going to be two keys um for all those kids out there that want to play ebl I will say two things ball handling and just handling the pressure um right here you can see dribbling down the floor left-handed he wanted to keeping that left hand for the layup 52 on the break oh good defense from number [Applause] 12 back to Lloyd 30 seconds left all right here be strong with the ball pivot oh tries a little bit of a fancy pass there good thought Rock Creek's at number 12 Patrick Strickland having none of that [Applause] 5 4 3 oh I've never seen that before Nate where the the goal the side goals deflected the uh potentially great shot there yeah it's a strange game
023you you you can see a lot of different things if you've been around a while so note note to self we'll try to get those things uh put up a little bit further up in the ceiling before our next game yes 25 to9 at halftime there's a what is there a three minute halftime correct Nate yes we're going to go three minutes um again with some of the co regulations and and changes um no need to go to the locker rooms um so we just keep him there on the bench hopefully get the game going a little bit sooner so far what have you thought about the first half well I I tell you there's a there's a few things I think Mount Healthy will continue to improve as the game goes on you know
024that first game uh just getting oriented um and and they're enjoying you can tell they're enjoying playing to get somebody else you know when you're in a practice for a long period of time and you you kind of get tired of scrimmage against the same same guys so um certainly they're enjoying themselves out here um have some things to work on their coaches are going to do a great job doing that um Rock Creek you can tell they have two games under their belt and um I tell you for for Rock Creek what I really like um their their second best offense is for their big guys Tucker and Reed to just get the offensive rebound and put it right back up yeah um and that's just you know rebounding is just that's just heart
025that's just effort working hard um it's not about size um just determination yeah good observations you know uh I know hofinger has done a great job on both sides of the ball uh has really been hustling as as like as well as you said uh I've just been really impressed with Reed kuster um you know obviously it takes someone finding him with the ball but even when he doesn't get the ball like you said he's there on the offensive re rebound he knows where to be uh whether it's weak side or uh on a short-sided rebound he's just been cleaning up the mess for Rock Creek and you know it shows 25 to9 after the first half yeah and it's like it's like the tale of of two quarters we had a really you know
026close one there and then you know and I think that's part of the strategy with ebl and how how we substitute and that is you know where where are you going to find all of your players 6 minutes um and let's just be honest you know you'll have some players that are going to get more time than others because they have a they have a an advanced skill set compared to others but at the same time you want everyone to get good quality floor time and um looks like Rock Creek may have saved their best for the second quarter mhm yep boy and just like that we're ready to start number three period number three boys are playing first and the girls will be coming up next correct that is correct yep and you know
027what we alternate every year so at the boys getting the crowd and everybody hyped up and then we'll come in with the girls after that and I'm going to tell you that girls game is going to be an exciting one a lot of good players on that team I'll be excited to watch them play you're doing a little scouting right uh have you already played either's team no we've not played either team and uh wouldn't necessarily call it scouting as much as just enjoying another another team play and then and not having to worry about the outcome there you go there he is again yep kuster's picking up where he left off in the first [Applause] half look at that [Applause] Bo I tell you what that number 40 yep Jaden Lloyd Jaden Lloyd he
028has got a cannon for an arm what's more impressive is that his teammates are able to catch it [Music] [Applause] [Music] you can tell Mount healthy's coach is really trying to um just impart on his team hey we got to clean up those offensive rebounds yeah you know and I'll tell another little secret here for those wanting to play out there you know we're sitting here watching film you watch the other you watch your the the team that's or the group of boys that are not playing you know how engaged are they in the game and you know both squads look like they are focused ready to give their contribution whenever their numers called [Applause] yeah you know um just as you're talking about that Mr Bean uh as a as a teacher you know
029you're even on uh Saturday and after 3:15 you're imparting some knowledge here I know that they I got some great feedback after week one that um we've got a lot of young kids that are not yet in fifth or sixth grade who are watching this with their family so thank you for thinking about them uh I got some great feedback on our bcsc uh Facebook page as well as YouTube channel make sure to subscribe so that you see those um but yeah keep on uh giving us that great knowledge because I know there's some you know maybe some first second third graders who are excited about the future of ebl good deflection and steel number five up oh probably got hit a little bit he's going to jump right back up what a great bounce
030pass into that post quick screen in yeah number 24 Reed kuster sixth grader for Rock Creek nice shot that is that is excellent form shooting I he just goes up there same routine on the free throw line every time and and with that's a lane violation we'll goad and play it that was against rck Creek so since kuster missed that shot we'll just play it out number 11 from the the dish from number 40 another Quick Pass Coulson Les gets that one [Applause] in there he is again man healthy clears it they're down crosscourt pass running one hander very nice by number one fiser Graham prizer o that is a good jet ball right there got to say that takes some heart from number 32 to tie up the ball from you know obviously a
031pretty big Reed kuster great job there and yeah and then just anticipating where that pass was going to go get your hands on it hang on to it looking for that crosscourt pass 32 and we got a foul you know so something I'll be looking for next time down the floor and again we can um players looking here you know the the Custer kid it's not necessarily that he's bigger or stronger than everybody it's that he gets good positioning he has a foot in front and if you can get step in and get a foot in front you have that rebounding positioning so his his efforts on the rebounding actually take place before the shot is even attempted and that's just great footwork number five Jax Brandman at the line looks like they got a
032mostly a new Squad coming in from Mount Healthy they're going to go and have him wait for the first free throw here and get everybody subbed in so this is our sub philos we say five on five off almost like hockey yeah number five jack brandan Southpaw puts that up there no good now we'll get some rotations here five minutes left in the third quarter again look at that routine it's the same every time good form good [Applause] shot Rock Creek sting out to a little bit of a different Zone there a 131 type of look and another jump ball [Applause] oh number 11 all the way down very nice defense wasn't set good take from Jacob Huffman there fun fact one of his uncles Derek Huffman uh great high school basketball ball player for
033Columbus East I remember seeing some moves like that back when I was in high school so you're telling me we have a Huffman on a Rock Creek team we do oh my shots up no good just a few steps on that one I tell so if I was Mount Healthy um and again the boys are working really hard first game I would do exactly what I did um with the game that you did with us yeah um and that is you have a good great film to look at the things that you need to work on and improve you make a list as a coach and you you know you commit yourself to that make your practice playing around those things to get better and um when we have your expertise and audio video and
034all this great stuff believe me coaches everywhere are very very happy that you've given this opportunity for these kids to to be a star a YouTube sensation yeah you I'm sure you've got some students in class that would love to be YouTube Stars yes yes indeed well and now so I'm a um a bridge teacher for third grade and I've got kids from Mount Healthy and Rock Creek in my class so shout out to those third graders if they're watching told them that both their teams are going to be here M healthy good attempt to try to get the ball in the middle of that zone shots up good sportsmanship there by number 11 for Rock Creek Mount Healthy seems to be really using that high picking roll and whether it be number two or
035I remember fizer I think he's on the bench right now um they're really taking that shot early and and they seem like they've got great form they're just not not going in right now and it it's unusual I mean some people think you know what you're going to set a screen on a Zone and uh yeah there are areas right in there you can set that screen um you know we'll tell our team if if a team's playing a Zone we want to make sure that the ball changes changes sides of the floor or goes inside out um but if you keep the ball on one side of the floor it's real easy for the defense oh my goodness number two for M healthy up you know what he's going to earn his two points
036at the line Dean klefan and again I saw some great sportsmanship there from both number two and 11 you know obviously great defense from number two but then uh you know Huffman made sure to say hey I wasn't didn't mean to hurt you or anything by that I just didn't want to give you an easy bucket so we'll see if he can earn it right here ah here's a second attempt up off the back of the IR than a minute now 45 seconds left in the third quarter oh got to travel on that took two steps before the dribble now the good attempt to get the ball inside stay there there we go and now what can cman do at the offense there getting a pass around to number 12 no good stop the ball
037Huffman of the hole oh my oh nice offensive board there's Tucker gorley for that clean up two one last second shot [Music] [Applause] oh all right while re Creek cheerleaders taking the floor here all right those four young ladies from Rock Creek we have Maya Blandon Marin Glick Leila Lakin and Kayla [Music] Williams all right so here we are to start the fourth quarter Rock Creek up 3114 dancing around the perimeter there good [Music] pressure oh good steal there number five in the little crossover oh and there's Dean kleffman number two for Mount Healthy ready for that crossover [Applause] down the floor we go oh my goodness oh there's that baseball pass again from 40 my goodness still feel like you're doing football games from last night I tell you what that one was a
038deep one that was landed that right in there unable to convert on the three-point play but scrambled for hofinger oh and the nice Lefty rebound or excuse me Lefty layup and looks like rock Creek's going to try their hand out a bit of a modified two three Zone 113 but I tell you what if you don't get in front of the ball handler something like that will [Applause] [Music] happen whoop and again look at those cheerleaders not flinching at all just barely moving Palms still in place smile still on their face Steel by hinger down to [Applause] Huffman and what can we do with this offensive rebound number 11 Jacob Huffman sets the offense into the big fellow there number 24 up and [Applause] good apologies on the scoreboard updated That 35-6 Rock Creek with
039the lead from way outside number one no good and we'll stay here 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter and a grab there on the arm you know pass is coming your way you want to meet that pass don't run away from it and I think that's exactly what Graham did right there forcing that foul [Applause] all right number four Jaden Lloyd handling the ball there on the perimeter Dagan to Graham Graham on the drive Huffman with the deflection up to number 22 shots up no good and guess what those cheerleaders kept on [Laughter] cheering well we talked earlier about you know Rock Creek they have a uh just a reputation for producing some some great student athletes out there on the uh east side of Bartholomew County and and that includes uh both the
040basketball players as well as those cheerleaders who four times I think now the ball's coming at them and they don't Flinch at all and you know and I think you bring up a keyword they're student athletes and you know these these kids are students first and they have to make sure that their classwork their homework their participation their attitude in the school um is that a higher standard quite honestly um more is expected of them and because of that their reward is to be able to suit up play the game and represent their school looks like rock Creek's going to try a halfcourt 212 type of press need to get the ball in the middle of the floor and they'll fall back into their two3 Zone hang on to it there you go just a
041little strong on the pass now to kuster just a bit outside all right got some substitutions here for Mount Healthy see if we can't get some of those kids some some good floor time you know every kid every kid will practice hard but there's there's something to be said for actual Court time being there on the floor and learning it's a different type of [Applause] intensity there we go good shot fake good drive offensive rebound rebound and immediately picking him up on defense that is a good sequence there by the Eagles shots up no good now good shot but I tell you every every coach here knows and seen that that was a great left hand although I have to remember number five was he the Lefty he I believe he is yeah brandan yeah
042he had that nice Lefty stroke at the line we saw recently [Applause] fizer shots up no good bodies everywhere good [Applause] hustle I got to tell you uh Lloyd number 40 Jaden Lloyd has been everywhere tonight for the Mount Healthy Eagles both sides of the ball we've seen the baseball pass but also a hustle there down low I tell you him and and his his teammates they will continue to improve throughout this year um even with the with a shorten season um coaches are having a coach differently um and how they adjust their practices um [Applause] this Mount Healthy team has has a lot of good a lot of good parts that as they start to gel together throughout the year um will be a lot of fun to watch just like that great defense
043and the jump stop with the bank and you know what was great about that is that he a nice little jump stop he gathered himself Defender flies out of bounds great job [Music] [Applause] there you said it just like [Applause] that you know number number 40 if Jaden's not trying to create a shot on his own he's he's looking to get other people involved [Music] here we [Applause] go nice job way to get in front of the ball force a shot there two minutes left in the fourth quarter [Music] well again want to thank you you know I talking with some other people you know we got the Big 10 Network we' got the SEC network and only here in Columbus Indiana do we have our own small version of the ebl network where we

047on the boards um you know there's that old saying that um from Pat Summit offense you know offense will sell the tickets defense will win the games but rebounding will win your championships and even though we're not going to have a championship this year um just working in there and and giving your team another either another opportunity to score on the offensive glass or preventing uh your opponent from getting another score down there so really impressed with uh Rock cre um rebounding um for Mount Healthy um again I think they have um some some good pieces that with um a little bit more practice and um game time Court time that they will they will continue to improve um you know Jaden Lloyd you know special player out there um you can tell that he
048he's wanting to get his team involved um and you know it playing around with and and trying to understand you know sometimes it's it's good to get your teammates involved but sometimes you need to um go ahead and take care of of getting that shot yourself so uh pretty good there and then I think Graham also prizer for for Mount Healthy is a good um that's that's that's going to be a good one-two punch there yeah I think that's a great analysis you know both teams obviously just going to continue to get better throughout the season and um you know I think that uh Dennis Pierce has done a great job ebl director of of you know last week we had Southside versus Parkside which was a rematch of last year's championship matches and then

053different here with the girls the girls can shoot from the 12T line if they want um even if they're shooting from the 15 if they go over the line that would be okay um right off the bat there we got a jump ball tell you what number 3 three Ava Warfield is going to be in the middle of a lot of things she's [Music] active not healthy comes out in a version of a one 122 and number 11 ree peoples very quick card this Rock Creek roster is loaded with six graders and at last year as fifth graders they were really good and so it's going to be real exciting to see how they do there's early [Applause] yes [Music] there's number four up with the shot no good Delaney Richards is coming out with
054it for rck Creek over to the left hand met by two Mount Healthy Defenders Miley lell Ava Warfield [Music] there Rock Creek's in a modified two3 Zone A 1 one3 that's where that opening is going to be at in any kind of zone right there in the middle right there in the middle there's Delaney Richards out gets the ball up number 20 Lola Watkins puts the ball up [Applause] rebounded and Rock Creek takes the lead two [Music] [Applause] there's Reese peoples I tell you what I remember her playing as a fourth grader and I told her with her height caught up with her heart she was going to be something else and so here she is a sixth grader now for Rock Creek she's one of those uh rare kids because when you um can't
055fill a roster you can start going down and getting fourth graders from the league so she's been actually uh this is her third year playing fourth grade fifth grade and now as a sixth grader and you can tell just how comfortable she is out there and I believe um Mount Healthy has the same situation test Morino and Heidi kirkoff couple of fourth graders so looks forward to seeing their contribution as well there's Ava Warfield with the steel oh just in and out but immediately and that's that's something there immediately back on defense not hanging her head knows that she can make a contribution with a good block like that and look at the ball handling keeps the ball [Applause] Alive looks like some Harlem Globe Trotters right there she takes that in tell AA is
056a special kid she works um really hard on her game um got a chance to work with her over the summer with a few other kids and her her ball handling has improved proved she knew that she'd have to be a ball handler um for this Mount Healthy team and um you know she keeps growing she's going to be a kid that can handle the ball well and be tall and that is a dangerous combination [Music] indeed we're at our five minute substitution here some some familiar names here on this Rock Creek team number 25 Addison Dean her sister's currently playing over there at East and um Gabby Dean that is correct yep she had quite the seasoning for volleyball as well got to see some of her skills in the live streams [Applause] so
057for Rock Creek we do have number one Carly humph uh number five Tristan Works number 10 Laya Glick number 11 ree peoples number 13 Brena benman 14 Delaney Richards 20 Lola Watkins number 21 Addison kmer 23 Bowser 24 Ariana TOA and like I said number 25 Addison Dean um absent from the lineup today uh either due to illness or other activities um number three Ty Jessup and number 15 uh Kylie Dover I was excited I was wanting to see her play too she was a former uh Southside kid here and then moved out to the Rock Creek area and I coach Barker you're you're going to get a special one with her she's a good kid hard worker for Mount Healthy number 33 Ava Warfield number 53 Miley litol number four uh Piper ammerman number
05851 Ali Watkins 45 Lily green number 23 chess Desy Routan number 21 Jaylen Engle King and number 15 Janice Addis uh number 43 Zoe bro 41 cadence bradin number 10 Tess mormino and number three Heidi kirkoff [Applause] Rock Creek's going to come out in a modified 221 press [Applause] all right trying to get the ball in here ball comes to Ava Warfield come on back to the left good job all right number number 20 Lola Watkins handling the ball in the perimeter gets a good screen from number Delaney and rock Creek's going to try to turn their defense into [Music] offense Watkins almost ends up with the ball a is down the floor yeah and I tell you those are those are two kids that know each other really well they've competed against each other
059and and and with one another in various programs out here throughout Columbus and so um it's nothing personal good screen on the ball AA brings the ball in Warfield misses it right off the front of the rim I'm going to guess it's a little bit of the same for the girls here as it was for the boys just getting your game Feed under you and the pace of the game she's got the steel tipped out from [Applause] behind there goes number 10 oh the bank is open number 10 lla Glick [Applause] [Music] getting close to the two-minute Mark Rock Creek up 5-0 Warfield with the ball down the floor centers [Applause] it there's number 21 shots [Applause] blocked Alison baller tries to get it up that's also [Applause] blocked there's Warfield tries to find an
060opening [Applause] there there's Reese down the floor Reese peoples finds a wide open player no good offensive rebound no good and Mount Healthy has a few things they want to try to get squared away here for this last minute 32 and I know that Nate the score is 5 Z but it really is a pretty close game you know like you said just a couple of baskets that uh that Dro from Mount Healthy and and this is a a tie ball game yeah and it's like I said those those Jitters um and you know to be honest with you this is the players have to adjust too you know a a pregame or pre-practice warm up that you know you may spend 20 30 minutes doing um you know a routine that you're used to
061is now um you know get down here to the gym you got five minutes to warm up and let's go and so that's that's another adjustment that players and coaches are are um um figuring out as the co season goes along um everything that we've been used to doing for so long is now you know might have to think about and do do a little bit differently minute and a half left in the first quarter and REE gets her hands on that [Applause] one and that jump ball will bring the ball over back for the Bulldogs number 10 Laya Glick fouled on the shot there is that difference as you said uh is 12 feet correct for the free throw that is correct and the and the emphasis and focus has always been um proper
062form good form shooting so you're not shoving the ball up there and you know just recognizing the difference that some kids uh may be a little stronger than others but we we want good form shooting um look really good there [Music] [Applause] you know reee is going to get her hands on just about anything if you put it out there 10 seconds left in the first quarter final possession can they get it in passes it to Warfield [Applause] one there's your Mount Healthy Eagles cheerleaders back on the [Music] [Applause] court all right great job for the M healthy cheerleaders there we had Eva burbrink Quinn Carr Jayla fosbrink tanland Destiny lead better and Anna Russell you know obviously um you know most of the action that we're covering today is is our basketball student athletes
063but you know it's a tough season for our cheerleaders as well not having that Super Saturday uh competition yes um you know if you could just for those who are tuning in just speak again how uh how fortunate we are to have a season though because you know obviously much different this season but we're just glad to be on the courts yeah and I will say you know a lot of sacrifices a lot of things that are different but the the main focus here is that we get a season and um it may not be the season we've envisioned but it's going to be a season that um where we can at least say that we've had the opportunity to play um you know a lot of things are different I I have been asked
064you know by many coaches how's it working out for you guys here at Southside because all the games are played here and it's a it's a small sacrifice to make with adjusting schedules and practice time so that the other 10 elementary schools can enjoy um competing and so not a big deal at all yeah and just want to say thanks to you as well as Chris bodart and principal bachmeyer and assistant principal Kathy Jackson for being great hosts throughout this e season well and it's it's been okay and and we're glad to help and and certainly Dennis Pierce plays a big part in that too um you know I I I I have found that through this covid time that um you know we're more likely to pull together and and and uh help one
065another out and even if that's a sacrifice of giving up um a practice time or something like that so that we can we can get teams in here and play then that's exactly what we're going to [Applause] do Warfield once again oh just a little strong there we go Mount Health's on the board that's a good one for her just staying active underneath the boards reys no good gets the long rebound that one's short You Can Tell She's a little frustrated with herself but you know she's going to come back here on the defensive end and make something happen [Applause] oh couple free throws coming up you know and I I talked about the importance of of ball handling and being strong with the ball you can you can tell that rock Creek's philosophy they
066they want to make sure they have someone on number 33 a of a Warfield at all times and so um that's where a couple other players for mat healthy are going to have to help handle the ball um you know there's always time to work on ball handling let's see what she does here with her second shot she chooses a shoes from the 15 foot line oh offensive rebound up no good on the floor gets it out good Warfield has the ball and immediately picked up by number 20 Lola Watkins shots up no good weak side [Applause] oh ball stays with Mount [Applause] Healthy as you said Warfield is about on every play and so she takes the ball out here oh Lola Watkins picks up that one gets down the floor for a quick
067two H good steal up no good Warfield comes soing in with the ball there you go cross it over to the middle of the floor oh my goodness Reese peoples brings the ball down the floor cross the floor number five shots up rattling around no good one offensive rebound two offensive rebound nothing happening guess away guess Ava Warfield ends up with the ball [Applause] down I tell you what if you don't if you don't think girls basketball is pass enough just just watch those coaches on the sideline um get after their players making sure they're where they need to be um and encouraging them you know this is this is a learning League uh for some girls it's the first time they've ever played organized basketball and for others it's you know they've played in
068various travel teams and things like that and so to to pull it all together the experien is U that's the real challenge for a coach [Applause] and both teams very well coached oh good offensive rebound there by [Applause] Watkins oh another [Applause] steal way to secure the ball warfield's going to bring it up pass it up the floor [Applause] Watkins is everywhere she sure is you know speaking of uh passion you know think about those fans we've got a great crowd here that are doing everything that they can to maintain physical distance and support their student athletes but also want to give a shout out to all of you who are watching we've got a great uh streaming crowd here thank you for tuning in on this Saturday morning Halloween and uh just want to
069encourage you if you haven't already to subscribe to our bcsc YouTube channel so that you'll be notified uh of our live streams as well as new videos we'll be uh streaming an eblo game of the week and this week the privilege uh we have to stream is uh Mount Healthy in Rock Creek so Rock Creek Falls back into their halfcourt defense one of our e rules is once you are up by 10 points or more uh no more full-court press Delaney Richards ends up with it dribbling down the floor left-handed gets bumped by a healthy Defender we'll take that one out on the [Music] side good shot fake by Reese ball gets passed out and again that's one of those examples there Mount Healthy had secured the ball so Rock Creek needed to get back
070good clear number 20 Watkins brings it down fires up no good there's Warfield [Applause] ball there at the top and I tell you what everywhere there is a rock crate Defender Watkins brings the ball up oh great good defense got a little worried there when Warfield went down but it just looks like she's tying her shoe there coach use as a built-in break catch your breath [Applause] Lola Watkins up with the shot I'm going to try to get a ball screen up there Rock Creek Falls back into their two3 Zone and then extends it out at the top and that right there is Classic Rock Creek basketball um if you turn your back or not strong with the ball you'll turn around and there'll be someone there to tie it up um coach Barker's teams
071always improved throughout the year as a fan of basketball I enjoy watching his teams but as someone that has to coach against him from the other side of the scores table and it that's a whole different story and um I've often said I I do not like playing Rock Creek teams late in the season because cuz Barker will get them better um it just does a great job good steel tip ahead there's Watkins up with the shot no good following it in Reese no good takes her own shot no good ends up with it again shot goes up and good third times a [Applause] charm less than a minute left in the second quarter all right we of our time here 30 seconds mat healthy brings a different kind of pressure they're going to bring
072Ava up try to force the ball out of Watkins Hands Extended good quick pass number 14 Delaney Reon up with the ball rips it out there's Watkins up for the shot no good less than 10 seconds and that's going to be the first half three minute break at halftime coach and what do you what have we seen in this first half so far well I think for for Rock Creek what you see is is a lot of experience and and um as I said before you know last year a lot of these fifth graders and you know they took their knocks they they were competitive but now coming back a year later a year older a year taller a year bigger stronger um they just have a lot of good parts that work together um
073you you got kids on that team that know their role what they're supposed to do um you know there's only one basketball out there and there's only um you know one person that can shoot it at a time but um there's always a a place on a team for um for rebounding good ball handling good defense and that kind of stuff um from Mount Healthy what I see you know is a team that um obviously you got AA orfield that is um logging a lot of minutes and as that team continues to play and you know be just like the the boys team that we saw earlier they they will improve um what they have is a is a great Crystal Clear broadcast um so they can go back and look at some things um
074um some good pieces um good looks underneath it just just need to get converted yeah and you know you've mentioned that a couple times uh Nate that you know to be able to look back at this broadcast um you know you were week one uh Southside versus Parks side what were some of the things that you saw when you watched uh the game back as a coach well well I the first thing I noticed was that um that that Parkside team was not as bad as what coach uh Kanan hashman and Jim Norris led me to believe he was sandbagging a little bit yes he was sandbagging quite a bit and so when it's like you know when I hear that I'm like listen I you know I I've never known a bad Parkside team
075so but the second thing that you know one of the things we noticed is that we we tried to push too hard um you know this is a very delicate game and if you try to manhandle it and play at a pace that you know is too fast it you know it you'll get hurt um and we we missed a lot of shots because we were trying to go for I guess a 10-point play that never existed so um you we talked about just one possession at a time take care of the ball um I think once we did that and and got some good Steals and some things like that um you know we we were we were feeling a little bit more comfortable um we focused on we looked at our rebounding which
076you know needed to be needed to improve on and um just standing you know on on offense um and you know what we need to do there it's hard to guard someone that keeps moving and but our defense got uh much better we you know we're a man-to-man team um we play a version of the packline defense and you know keep everybody you know tight on the three-point line and you know we had some new kids that were adjusting ing to that they were on the wrong side of their Defender and then looking at that um just show them where they needed to be and got a little bit of practice time to to work on that and then we gotten gotten better well I'm glad that you were able to utilize that and I
077hope that we hope that Rock Creek and Mount Healthy will be able to look back at this game and you know obviously family and friends be able to watch it but also that as you said they could learn from their performance and right away Rock Creek gets back on the board that's 13 Brena uh B men up with the shot so good adjustment here we're trying to get some kind of an alignment a 22 or 212 alignment um a is just trying to find some room to work there [Applause] shot good shot by Warfield [Applause] there Rock Creek though comes right back there here we go we're going to try to spread the floor out a little [Applause] bit shots up Ain good you spoke to it they just needed to get used to the
078uh new environment and playing a a game here and already both teams coming out hot well and I will say too uh aa's aa's Dad one of the assistant coaches over there and he has a um has a way of motivating his daughter not with yelling or Screaming or anything like that but just trying to calm her down get her centered and when there's a little bit rushed [Applause] Breakaway for Rock Creek and they did their job they did their job stopping the ball but then ree did her job of being under control uh Gathering herself and putting up a nice shot There She is [Applause] again she's got a nice shot there coach with that Runner she does and that again that's you know she she works really hard on her game wow I
079don't know what both coaches said to their teams but this is um fantastic [Applause] offense the runner again yeah all they needed to do and that you know that's where we talk about coaching just spread the floor out um make some adjustments on offense go way to position herself hang on strong to the ball number 21 Addison kmer is going to get two shots you I've talked uh you know to Ava and a few other these players about you know working hard you know coming to practice with your team that's that's when you get better as a team working on things but the real Improvement the individual Improvement comes from from what do you do when when you have an empty gym or um a basketball court there at your house that's where your individual
080Improvement comes and it may not be as fun and as glorious and but it's it's important everyone loves to work at the things they're good at no one likes to work at the things that they're bad at and once you get that um that kind of a different mindset and then you see the the paying off in a game as that one rattles around and [Applause] out oh got caught up in the excitement so see M healthy will kind of get the floor spread out again that's tipped out of bounds [Applause] now healthy gets set up in they out of bounds play ah this one's going back to Warfield in the corner very nice designed play just a little strong on the [Applause] jumper Mount Health's execution of that inbounds play was just about Flawless
081that was that was fantastic [Applause] there's Reese with the ball gets it in 13 shots no good offensive rebound up by number 25 Addison Dean gets that put right back in and we're halfway through the third quarter now coach 27- 10 Rock Creek with the lead running clock for uh this season here in e nice job recognizing an open player right there almost dropped in for number 43 Zoe [Applause] [Music] there's Reese Off to the Races oh and then it was that number 23 gets her hand on the ball offensive rebound there's another one and official says you know let's just go ahead yeah let's just go ahead and stop this with a jump ball and just to date myself a little bit more Mr wed down there one of our referees was one of
082my referees in elementary basketball you know and I tell you and Brad pal down there he about the same age I am um you know I would put out there um for any you know former athletes or or anything like that we're always looking for good game officials and so [Music] um get your referees like license and and be part of the fun here and good steal there [Applause] nice tell you the first mistake I made my first year coaching in ebl was jumping all of the officials and and getting a mad at me I didn't realize that they all went out and hung out together after the game they were they were saying what a what a jerk I was to them most of the time and it took me about 2 years to
083to build those bridges back i' burned as Reese good jump shot a jump stop missed that one yeah those referees are a close group for sure yes they are and you know and that was just I think goes back to also um I think what we have here also is just a good mentorship for uh you know young coach um I think it's kind of our responsibility as kind of Veteran either coaches or officials um to be to be good mentors and and give give some younger kids an opportunity and I say kids I mean young adults to get out there and um you know to be a part of this to learn this is a learning league and I think that's what sometimes we don't realize is that not only is it a learning
084league for the players but learning league for for coaches I've been fortunate to have um former players who have decided that you know for one reason or another basketball isn't their future or in their interest for high school but they've come back and they wanted to help coach and so um I've had a few of those those uh kiddos back Naomi Gambrell um is one of those right now um Caroline McQueen was one that I had and I can tell you uh both those young ladies will be twice the coach that I'll ever be um because of their passion and and understanding of the game and just what a great role model they are for players two and a half minutes left in the third quarter Rock Creek up 29- 10 oh good look wide
085open number 43 shot up no [Applause] good I tell you so here I am looking at this game as as a coach and um I'm looking for Mount Healthy number 43 Zoe brell I I like what she's doing she has the potential um just if she's patient and and listens to her coaches she could be um another valuable asset there to help Warfield [Applause] [Music] [Applause] out and that that's one of the fun things as a coach is is just putting the pieces together put together a team um and get all 12 players to understand that you know they're not there's not one person that's more or less important than the other um so I like that coach everybody's got a role good bounce pass there shots up and good [Applause] walking the ball up
086the floor trying to get a screen up there so Warfield can get a little bit of room to work there's peoples [Applause] again getting down the floor there good job 24 seconds left probably the final possession here with the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Eagles man that looked good 5 four Reese is going to get the ball down for see somebody down there one and that's the end of the third quarter [Music] go [Applause] you I can't can't tell you last time I I went to a basketball game and just enjoyed watching you know when you're a coach you're always out there critiquing yeah I can I can go to a volleyball game and enjoy it because I don't know anything about volleyball other than it need to go across in three but you know so you
087know you can even though the you know I'm coaching here but I don't have a team out I'm I'm looking at number 51 Ally Watkins for for Mount Healthy she's been um a little bit more involved in the offense um in the middle there you know she's a she's another piece I think that could that could um developed for them Mount Healthy they they shouldn't be discouraged by by whatever the score is today you know first game out and just finding those pieces and fitting together and any coach will tell you that that's the fun that's the fun part is getting all that together and and when you finally do um it's the best feeling in the world um and our first game here uh that was not broadcast CSA Lincoln uh boy they took
088two two hard ones on the chin they came out against two strong teams right at the B they had Richards and then um I think Parkside and then um played Schmidt today and a lot of the things that their coaches uh coach Ashley slate has has um been really pressing on them and emphasizing uh culminated into a whim for them today so congratulations to the CSA Lincoln husky girls yes speaking of CSA Lincoln coach next Thursday night is going to be our cross town CSA rivalry game CSA Lincoln against CSA fodrea we'll be broadcasting that and looking forward to uh bringing knew that rivalry game yeah that'll be a fun one [Applause] um both teams pretty evenly matched um and like you said that kind of rivalry between the two signature Academy elementary [Applause] schools
089good pivots there clearing the ball and the number 23 shot goes up no good out to Walkin shot no good oh and we'll just continue with our impressiveness of the Rock Creek cheerleaders that do not even move they do not flinch except when it's their turn to cheer [Music] [Applause] hey like that Runner [Applause] man moving the ball around pretty good there on the perimeter shots up no good you got to get in front of AA there to stop the ball she'll come around to the left put that try that Runner again no good you know that looked like Larry Bird there she is wearing number 33 she followed her own rebound there back and forth has Delaney Richards with the score there here's aavid Warfield trying to use up every in of that floor
090so she can turn the corner and go and number five Tristan Works in to get that deflection you know this morning was a good reminder that we're uh changing seasons here in Indiana uh today coach is the I believe the last fall Sports um competition Columbus North boys and girls cross country are competing for state titles today so we want to wish them a good luck and um just hope that they can bring home a title absolutely and you know what's what's really fun um as a teacher here in the corporation um it's for me it's become more of not North or east but just celebrating kids in general and all their accomplishments um so there's some there's some great kids on that team um you know the East boys soccer team did very well
091yes um and then got was pretty proud of the north girls soccer team got a couple former players on that team that um how about K R's last second goal I tell you KJ great kid um hard worker when she played here and I knew and I between her and Riley and and Laney Moore uh and with niia they if I made them choose between basketball and soccer I was going to be a loser they would they would pick soccer basketball was their fun Sport and I was okay with that um you know I've always been a a a big fan of being a multisport athlete as AA gets that shot up no good and cleared out by Rock [Music] Creek almost good Hustle but to be in fifth sixth and even seventh and eighth
092grade that's just too young to specialize in one sport so find a sport that you love your serious sport really get after it and then have a fun sport you know something different yeah I think that's great advice you know um these days you know being a young parent myself with a an 8-year-old you know you start being pulled in so many different directions and asked to special at an early age and you know here we are watching these young student athletes and maybe you know someone like an a Ava Warfield you know it's clear that she's got such great talent and maybe she plays basketball a lot but in order for her to just continue to develop and have fun and uh be successful in her high school and maybe Beyond you know it's
093good to have that other sport ree gets that steel up layup and good I can tell you AA aa's also a pretty good little softball player and so um you're right just stay involved with different sports and right now during Co it's just good to be able to play sports at all you bet Reese has got that steel again nice layup [Applause] Reese peoples has been everywhere today hasn't she she has been you know she's just she's a hard worker um she's not going to force any shots um her her forte has always been um really really active defense taking care of the basketball finding another player that might have a better shot than her um just a great team player well for all those kiddos that are going to go out trick-or-treating tonight we
094stay safe um we're in a we're in a different time with Co and trick-or-treating and I know some kids are are going to go out and have fun I know some that are maybe not going to be heading out um we we gave the option to to my kids listen we'll just take you to Walmart buy you a bag of candy there you go can we just and then can we just be done with it and I don't I don't think I've gotten a definitive answer one way or the other I think they're wanting to go trick-or-treating and then after that go to Walmart to buy the bag they want the both they want both um but we'll be ending games early here for at Southside this is our last one uh for today and
095here's a good opportunity for number 10 uh Tess uh mormino and number three Heidi kirkoff to get some some good Court time yeah a couple of fourth graders in there another great shot by [Applause] Peoples you know and this is where um and I think all all of our elementary coach just do a great job it would be real easy just to sit down and quit coaching but you look there at Mount Healthy um they're still coaching their kids talking to the kids on the bench there's always an opportunity to learn in this [Applause] game oh got her hand right in there 23 Chesney Routan almost and Watkins might not be the tallest out there but man she was down there with the trees indeed getting the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] rebound shots up no good
096there's ree with the ball good jump ball as I made that statement I I don't know if you know this name or not but I'm going to throw it out there do you remember Butch Wade I do remember coach Wade he was my seventh grade basketball coach at Central and he always used to uh give our point guard who uh was shorter in um elementary and middle school but eventually grew to over six feet Mark Wolford who ended up yes uh going to Purdue and eventually becoming a scholarship player there but he said Wolford what are you doing there down by the trees but just like Watkins he found a way to get the rebound and as you said I think earlier sometimes rebounds and defense is more about heart than height well and that's
097the other thing too that you know you may got a big kid or a tall kid and and never work on ball handling in elementary and then you know they all grow at different different rates and so um regardless of whether you're one of the shorter players on the team team or one of the taller players you know ball handling and rebounding are Universal um and they make this game a lot more enjoyable to play if you're good at him good pivoting out of the trouble there finds an opening wow another great layup by [Applause] Watkins one minute left in this fourth [Applause] quarter she doing a good job dribbling protecting the [Applause] ball and then number 10 for rck Creek Laya Glick ends up with it [Music] [Applause] seconds I want to thank you
