002coming in at some sort of record six and one lone loss to uh Jennings County 50 to 54 and then Southport is coming in at 2 and 11 no that's not right no it is right 2 and 11 they' played 13 games um they got a win over BFF and they have a win over uh terot South so um the winner of this game will play this evening at 6:00 p.m. and the loser plays at 4: followed by the second game today is newal and Noblesville starters today we're going to try to get this in before we go to the national anthem here starters for Southport number three CCE Mitchell number 11 Miranda Dean number 15 Leela Scott number 21 Gracie cherry and number 35 Maddie new house and then starters for Greensburg number 20

003senior Taylor Cooney number 24 Jenna Foster number 32 Molina Wilkinson number 42 Anna West and number 44 freshman Carly Adams we will step away now for the national anthem e e [Music] e [Music] you e another guard number 24 Jenna Foster and guard number 20 Taylor Cooney the Pirates are coached by Jason Simpson officials for today's contest are M Greg re and Jack okay the uh five lady pirates and the five lady Cardinals are getting ready to tip off the game in the opening round of our holiday tournament here at Greensburg High School coach I'll be interested to see how both teams come out it's always a great day for Hoops but we're here at 10:00 a.m. not used to playing this early in the morning I think the energy that the teams come out

004with is going to be really important yeah I I think these first few possessions are going to be crucial looks like Southport is going right to a two3 Zone which I think the lady pirates have seen quite a bit so far this year Taylor Cooney with the basketball navigating kicks it to the right wing Jenna observes Cooney kicks it to Wilkerson she takes it in for two [Applause] and I think that's something Molina is going to have to do she's going to have to knife through use her quickness and speed to get to the hoop good defense and rebound by Anna West she throws it to Taylor Taylor pushing the basketball up the floor and it goes off Jenis fingertips out of bounds Southport basketball Miranda Dean bringing it up passing it over to Maddy

005new house just a bit short must be a breeze two3 once again for Southport over to Molina she kick kicks it top of the key Jen is looking kicks it left giving a look inside didn't like it Molina muffs it she kicks it back to Taylor Greensburg showing some patience here trying to get that zone in motion and finding a good shot good one there off by Molina Taylor with the offensive rebound and she's going to the line to shoot two GRE when attacking a a two3 Zone like that how important is it the dribble drive versus the skip pass well I think they're both effective you have to have spacing and anytime in the zone you can get two people guarding the same person there's obviously someone else open and sometimes you do that

006you find that person with the skip pass or with dribbling the ball the middle of the floor and finding the open person two free throws up and in by Taylor Cooney Southport now pushing the ball up on offense good pressure there by Taylor Taylor who signed at Grace University yeah she did she signed her letter wona Lake very excited to continue her playing career there got several girls on the floor right now who have extended their playing careers Anna West going to go play uh volleyball uh and uh Molina W wierson signed at Ohio State play softball yeah Ann is going to go to Walsh which is in Canton Ohio I believe yes it is division two yeah I've heard it's a wonderful school I have some family up that direction that said a lot

007of good things about the place also home of the Football Hall of Fame coach yeah there's Molina taking it aggressively grabs the offensive rebound cannot get it to fall Southport looks to push Taylor gets in the way there now Southport settles in trying to find their own good shot oh we got caught on a pick there and it didn't rotate on the switch Taylor with the defensive rebound she's pushing and takes it all the way cannot finish with the left hand Southport secures the rebound looking to push it up the wing Molina interferes and knocks it out of bounds you know if you've never seen our girls play the one thing that will stand out is the speed of Molina Wilkinson she creates so many pass deflections and steals in the game that you know

008it's it it makes it difficult for offenses to get into any kind of Rhythm whatsoever I think it's I think it's speed for Molina but there's also don't undervalue the anticipation and the Natural Instincts that goes along with their speed that was Gracie Cherry for a three ball was that way downtown it was pass over the top Molina thinks about it now she skips it back over Taylor for three off the rim rebound by Southport they look to push and transition offense feeds the post she spins oh SWAT Town nice block by Anna you went to swat town on me yes Greensburg slows it down here the two3 Zone will do that Greensburg is not in a hurry they know they can get their own good shot as Molina kicks it off her foot out

009of bounds coach Simpson calling a quick 30- second timeout I'm sure to discuss how we need to attack that two3 zone a little more effectively here at the timeout let's talk about some statistical leaders for Southport so you get to know them just a little bit better they are LED in scoring by number 11 Dean she's a junior she's scoring at a clip at 10 points per game rebounding they're led by number 35 new house their their tall gal in the middle she's has 6.8 rebounds per game I it jumps off the page to me that she's also averaging close to three offensive rebounds per game got to watch that as as the Pirates try to you know secure rebounds finish defensive possessions and limit Southport to just one shot per POS possession Southport ball

010on the far end how how difficult is it to play in a tournament where you know you got to play two games in one day do is that in the back of anybody's mind that you're going to have another one to play today regardless of win or loss I I think some kids can have that mentality I think coach Simpson's job is to just tell the girls to take up one game at a time take care of your business that's in front of you and you know hopefully they're conditioning they training will help them be fresh and have enough energy for game two in the afternoon and the winner of this game will take on the winner of the newal and Noblesville game which to my knowledge Noblesville must have a girl on there who

011is pretty good they do they do um I believe she's um either been offered by several different schools or already committed to someone already um it'll be interesting to see her play and how how good she really is Southport back in a two3 Zone Pyro same reversing across the perimeter as they had in other possessions before skip pass over the top Jenna picks it up over to Cooney Cooney looks reverses good Jam in the post let's see if Anna can finish nice play there by Anna she buried the defender underneath the basket got good position and is now going to the line for two the fouls on mdy new house her first her team second [Music] you know I've I've had the opportunity to watch several girls games today or this season and Anna has

012I need to need to look at this she has improved remarkably on her free throw percentage it's good you say that since she made both of hers yeah I would say it regardless that she made both of 100% on the day she is dribble Drive gets us number three CCE Mitchell with two points she is five of six for the season from the free throw line so doing a nice job there Greensburg once again attacking the two3 Zone Wilkerson looks nothing there Cooney has it she's looking Greensburg very patient another swing pass that's a nice aggressive play by Taylor notice Coach Moore how Pirates mov the basketball back and forth and it creates openings in the zone and Taylor was able to exploit that by dribble penetration and get it inside that's Maddie new new

013House's second foul looks like we have Jan CER getting ready to sub in first one up a good by Cooney CER in for Jenna Foster and Maddie neous has also been subbed out due to her second foul of the game Cooney with two more Taylor with three points on the on the morning so far looks like Southport run running a version of dribble weav or hand out handoff looking to see if the Pirates can get confused on switch they do not there Carly Addam picks up the steel Taylor kicks it up to Molina Molina has a hesitation dribble and they get her for a carry I did hear Southport coach talk when with Coach Simpson before the game and he said his top three girls have not played a game yet this year nor will

014they due to injuries oh so that probably explains a little bit of their 2 and 11 record there um you know tough tough when you lose any player but when you lose your top three that's really difficult yeah that's too bad that's too bad you know Silver Linings with everything maybe some of these kids are getting experience now that'll help them you know next year make a run and be better yep nice block there by Southport on Molina they kick it out and transition they right now have a three-on-one can they capitalize number three CC Mitchell with two points that's her fourth Point Jenna Foster set the check back in 9-7 Southport lead with a minute 30 to go Cooney has it kicks the top to CER CER gives it right back to her they're

015looking to get some kind of action going here there's the ball screen Cooney takes the mid-range off the front of the rim no good Southport defensive rebound pushing it Southport once again showing patience 20 man Gracie Cherry with her second three-pointer of the game to seven she's shooting with confidence squared up got that shoulder around and knocked it in Cooney for three off the rim no good off the Pirates out of bounds Southport basketball 43 seconds to go in the first quarter couple Subs in for the Pirates Foster I didn't see who the other one came in who has it it is erus number 50 em erce yeah good for her getting some minutes here Pirates are not switching on the dribble Drive weave good rebound by Anna West see if the Pirates hold for

016one here or if they try to get a quick bucket we're down to 10 seconds here Anna has it in the middle ball is deflected turnover and Southport pushes ahead and throws it out of bounds 4 seconds left here in the first quarter we have a set for this coach four seconds to go length to the floor well they're sitting in their two three zone so probably going to drible down and shoot it that would be the set I would run riveting coverage there here we are at the end of the first quarter Southport it's up on Greensburg 12 to7 Greensburg is uh points Anna West had two Molina W Wilkinson had two and Taylor Cooney had three Southport CC Mitchell had four Miranda Dean had two Gracie Cherry had two big three-pointers for six

017points coach you referenced earlier that Southport is 2 and 11 I don't want that to mislead our viewers here uh Southport plays obviously up in Perry Township in in Maran County they played Speedway Indianapolis Ritter decator Central Franklin newal who we'll see later today Columbus North Bloomington South Perry maridian Bloomington North bbff Lawrence Central Ben Davis and ter South so they played some 4A schools sprinkled in with some 3 a in there and they're coming out 2 and 11 at this point but uh that they're having a good showing here so far in this first quarter they can show they can dribble drive and kick it out to Shooters so Pirates are going to have to adjust if they want to uh get on top of the scoreboard here yeah 100% you know hopefully uh

018our girls weren't looking past this game at all um you know they need to get a little focused a little motivated here and uh creep back in this thing Southport ball to start the second quarter you know when teams come out in a two3 Zone it can really it can slow the opponent down I think that's done that with the Pirates here I look for J Jason to make a lot of adjustments here to increase the pace get some more possessions Molina Wilkerson on the rebound pushing up to Cooney no surprise southwards back in their two- three Zone there's three by CER ni oh in and out good quality shot though no harm there good play by Jenna Foster yeah good hustle one thing you're going to get out of a foster you're going to

019get hustle that's for sure that's for sure it's too bad that Jenna has to you know feel the wrath of her brothers all the time but that's okay it's part of growing up oh we got caught on pick the Picker glad they oh glad they recovered Southport shot it missed offensive rebound BS it in three off the backboard for number 11 right back against the two3 zone you know probably for Southport The two3 Zone makes a lot of sense since we're not really hitting anything from the outside as long as you can rebound and rotate and not give up easy ones it's going to be effective and I say that and there goes Molina two points I think most of the times in basketball comes down to the defensive end if the Pirates don't have

020to take the ball out of the net and they can push in transition they won't even have to go against that two three Zone y 640 to go in the second quarter Pirates down 15 to n what a skip pass good shot by Taylor just little long Southport has it they're trying to swing it as coach just [Music] said there's number 11 again Off the Mark Jenna with the rebound quickly to Cooney oh off of Molina's foot out of bounds I like the idea though it's a great part about Molina's game is that she's aggressive and most of the time it works out in her favor every once in a while she does lose one or miss one but that's okay I also think it doesn't ever deter her from to continuing to do it

021oh no she has the same mentality every possession which is awesome because that's what you have to have you can't get frustrated or or lose that aggressiveness cuz that's what makes her special absolutely got to grab it good she kicks it to Cooney Cooney up to Wilkinson here She is again Stutter Step no gets her own rebound two points Rand Dean Southport gets an easy bucket there as they lead 17 to9 with 5 minutes to go here in the second quarter Pirates facing this two3 Zone and really haven't cracked the riddle yet have they no there's a great pass nice job two points for Anna West nice pass from the top by molinaa nice find by Molina Wilkinson timeout Southport got Anna West with four points Molina with four points and Taylor Cooney with three

022CCE Mitchell for Southport with four Miranda Dean with seven Gracie Cherry with six the big thing that stands out to me Grant is Southport has hit three three-pointers and and we have not hit any yeah I think that comes off of Southport dribble drive you know they're running a handoff continually we're showing that we're not switching it what which I think is fine but when we help we haven't been able to recover to the shooters yeah it is South port's ball out of bounds they have to go the length of the floor after the timeout coach Simpson is staying in the half court not picking up full court yet you know I've seen the girls a play a couple times this year and they they do have a like a 131 half court trap I

023wonder if some point you know you you use our length and and you get into that as a little bit of a switch up well that's deep that was a heat Checker yep heat check off Cooney looks kicks it to Molina Molina's on the top now which we don't see often there she throws it in Anna West for two nice pass nice finish I don't think they have an answer for Anna down low if we can keep pounding it to her because their big girl Matty Newhouse is in foul trouble with two 13- 17 Pirates down four with 4 minutes 20 seconds to go Molina cuts off the dribble Drive kicks it right back to 21 Southport looking nice nice take there by number five Miss nle nothing there Southport picks up the loose ball

024off the turnover they push find oh how many steps do she allowed today however many she wants I guess they're getting us on the offensive rebounds right now offensive rebound short ball out of bounds to the Pirates Ern this back in for Adams and 25 Brianna Reed coming in for Gracie Cherry no surprise Southport stays in the two3 let's see if they find Anna here again don't need to jam it in right away just after a couple reversals Molina tries to Slither in there no finish Cooney up and off the rim she's going to the line to shoot two I do like the way that Taylor and Molina both are attacking the basket they're they're drawing them in and getting them to get in some fouls get into the free throw line yeah I think

025his players they're sensing that the Pirates are a little stale on offense and they're trying to be the leaders on the floor and make something happen this will be Taylor's sixth free throw attempt makes it she's five of six Pirates have trimmed the lead now to two with three minutes to go here in the second quarter Southport stain with the dribble Drive weave looks very similar to the Harlem glob Trotters yeah not quite as many tricks on this one though true number 11 Miranda Dean with another two points as coach Simpson yells help there was none there and Southport gets an easy two nice pass and a misses picks up her own offensive rebound and gets fouled on the putb certainly making it a point to try to find Anna down low number three that

026is her second foul CC Mitchell I've notice coach just one official he's got a lot of aggression when he reports to the scores table it's loud clear um very precise we call that a no doubt oh yeah he wanted the whole crowd to know that the foul was on red I don't know if that sound came through us but it was it was aggressive big big call and a two for two Anna has eight points of Greensburg 17 I don't want to jinx her on the free throws but I have noticed her form is better her confidence is better and it's resulting in in a higher percentage for her and how much of shooting is confidence probably 93% you know what I mean like as as much as as much as you like to shoot

027who is that on record from you or who quoted that you that that's on record for me okay just wanted to see if you're going to own that comment Taylor causes deflection picks up the loose ball oh nice good smart play by Taylor she puts the ball on the floor so she can get up and now she attacks looks over to CER she finds Wilkinson oh she thought about it then she's taking it in ernis on the rebound the offensive rebound nice pirat tried to settle in just a little bit Skyhook Anna West there is not many kids I believe in girls basketball across the state that are going to interfere with that shot with Anna's size and her technique 19 to 19 Greensburg has crawled back into it ooh it's going to be a

028foul on Taylor Cooney oh no that's on Ern yep called the push before the collision at the end of the play she's not on our roster I'm going to have to have a conversation with someone in the athletic department I think you know who to take that too Southport out of bounds underneath their own basket gets it into number 21 getting caught up on the oh it's going to be her second foul Emily's good good aggressive report there I feel like he's the only dude making any coughs one minute one second to go in the second period all knotted up at 19 Molina on the ball Taylor gets the defensive rebound she's pushing the ball up the floor finds CER cmer gets blocked Southport has it now pushing up themselves nothing there looking for three

029three short offensive rebound Southport out to 25 Reed she misses Molina picks it up and now she's looking to take it the distance nice play by Molina good for two on the transition offense there by Molina Molina Wilkinson has six points now on the day Pirates take the lead for the first time I have we had to lead at all I don't think so now that you say that Molina good hands Molina creates another disruption she's looking to draw the contact and two nonetheless she finishes with the left hand very nice Molina with eight points in this game 1 second no foul good close to the quarter as we go into halftime Pirates surged and take the lead 23 to 19 we will be back right after halftime [Music] hey [Music] he [Music] he [Music]

030he [Music] he [Music] oh a [Music] he [Music] he [Music] oh [Music] he [Music] he [Music] hey [Music] he [Music] he [Music] hey [Music] back here live at Greensburg Community High School getting ready to start the second half remind everyone that Greensburg kind of had a late surge there at the end of the second quarter and we're up now at 2319 I think coach Simpson has to be pleased with how we closed out the quarter still need to kind of figure out how we're attacking this Zone and how we defend better um but overall got to be pleased overall being up four yeah um you know being down what 10 at one point uh it it's it's good to uh to battle back and and take a four-point lead uh coming into halftime um you

031know you know both teams were in the locker room quite a long time so I'm sure making their looking to make their adjustments and and uh coming out and looking to be strong here in the second half to finish out the game you know once again to give our viewers a glimpse of Southport schedule this is their sectional they are in the Ben Davis sectional and they will face Ben Davis Ron kie Perry Meridian Pike Decor Central uh as possible opponents intersectional so um no slouches there nope no slouches there and we're not we're not surprised by Southport performance here today Southport coming back out in the two3 zone oh there it is there's the lob play to Molina Indiana and she catches but cannot finish good contest there Southport secures the defensive rebound shoots

032the quick three nothing there off defensive rebound by Southport out for 321 that's her third three-pointer of the game Gracie Cherry with nine points all three-pointers she may be able to shoot it coach yes sir down to Anna leftand turn what a shot by Anna West if we had instant replay I would throw that one back up there that was a nice nice right shoulder turn left hand baby Hook by Anna West she now has 12 points I know a coach has been working on that with her so it's good to see it's paying off Gracie Cherry first two-pointer of the game for her she has 11 I'm looking here coach she shot or she has been shooting 23% from the three-point line so she has taken 65 of them throughout the course of the

033year so she believes she can shoot it and that's coming true today after making three of them ball down to Carly Adams good smart Play Good pace PA here by the Pirates didn't want to force it reversing it to Jenna Foster back up top to Cooney nothing there trying to regroup Anna is going to or Molina's going to ball screen over to Taylor Cooney trying to jam it in and that did not work out the way they wanted ball out of bounds to Southport 2524 Pirates lead with 6 minutes 19 seconds to go in the third Jenna Foster on the ball here as Southport tries to enter their offense ball on the wing Cooney guards gets a deflection off red definitively white ball yeah I'm not sure if that comes through the speakers or not

034but that was a commanding call there by the official Molina drives in kicks it out to Cooney looks at the three thinks about it got Molina on a push offensive foul that's her first I'm not going to get into the critique of the officials but I did not see that I did not I did not see her extend or anything there I thought she just spin dribble but nonetheless offensive foul and turnover to the Southport Cardinals there's Molina makes up for it and she's going to have a right-handed layup and she puts it in that is her 10th point you were referencing Molina's mentality notice she had a bad break and she just decides well I'll make up for it in other areas and gives us two buckets in return you know and I think

035sometimes to her credit um she needs a little something like that to get her motivated a little more she gets she gets a little upset about a call maybe she didn't feel like she did and then all of a sudden she turns the Jets on and uh sure two quick steals four quick [Applause] points two point attempt by Southport off the rim Taylor with the defensive rebound looking to push crosses over and it's deflected out the other way quickly two points CC Mitchell that's her sixth point on the morning that sounded awkward you said on the morning yeah jump ball should be Greensburg ball good Hustle by Carly Adams there number 44 Southport ball out of bounds on the Baseline oh thought they had the ball at half did they not you know I'm doubting

036myself right now so I'm just not going to comment nope you're right Greensburg had the ball my bad I was wanting to back you just didn't to insert myself in there first mistake I've made in 12 years oh gonna have Jan C checking in here in a minute Molina for three nothing [Music] there boy Good Help by Taylor that looked like a Magic Johnson attempt at a hook we call that a grenade oh and Molina in with the left hand she's been a real spark for the Pirates here Southport feels the need to take a full timeout here full timeout that is Molina's 14th Point Anna West has 12 Taylor Cooney has five I would like to know how Greensburg has had s some success offensively when they don't have to go against the Zone

037Molina's been pushing in transition and she's attacking the rim before Southport has a chance to get set up yeah I guess that you know the the easy thing to say is you you want to beat that zone get a rebound and push the ball up the floor before they get set yeah and it's it it always comes back to the defensive end Molina's done that through steals deflections pushing it um and off of Misses um from Southport so let's see let's watch how the Pirates uh what they do defensively and what they what they come out with as a strategy both teams have only had three girls score Southport has CC Mitchell with six points Miranda Dean with seven and Gracie Cherry with 11 may come down to some of the uh um other players

038scoring some points here to make the difference in the game on a side note my wife wants El raro for chill or for for lunch oh so good for you are you GNA go with queso or just straight salsa no chips and salsa oh okay are you offended by that question you know I'm not a I'm not a queso guy I don't know why I don't I don't know what the all the Hub up is about you're not a cheese on your sandwich kind of guy either yeah people need to back it up just just chips and Sala let's not make things complicated okay I ain't mad at you oh Anna West called Fancy footwork gets her to the line for two you can change your pivot foot six times but you cannot get bodied

039up oh they called that on Jana oops I thought they called that on an pass line that is Jana's first foul morouse had some foul trouble in the first half and now she's coming out in the second half trying to insert herself yeah Matty new house is one of three seniors on Southport team looking to break into the scores column there it is one point be curious to know if if Southport is a traditional two3 team or if this is a scout they've had against us and seen us struggle for some reason or um you know what the what the what the thought or the philosophy is here my gut would tell me both and here's why when you are absolutely devastated by your three best players out you're going to have to answer some

040questions on how you're going to defend people and the safe play a lot of times is to come out in a two3 Zone just to kind of limit the possessions and keep games close and it happens to also work out as a good match up against against Greensburg to slow them down a bit good entry pass from the top from Taylor Cooney to Anna [Applause] West her 14th Point Anna's had a nice showing today absolutely she's been stepping in hard and catching and finishing well you got West and Wilkerson both with 14 Points each good help over there from the backside by Cooney that's going to be new House's third foul and it's a shame that you pick up your third foul and you're 87 fet away from the basket yeah I used to get

041yelled at about that so I stopped playing defense good play showed them yeah you you proved your point did you prove your point on the bench uh it was a moot point at that point in my mind though I was like you know it's all right that always caused me to find my way to the bench an a West another nice left-handed [Applause] shot 21 for three good board by CER the percentage is kicked in there coach yep Molina goes in and tries to draw some contact and is unsuccessful ball out of bounds off her Southport is going to inbound it on the Baseline in for the Pirates number 50 Emily ernis she comes in for Carly Adams 150 to go in the third period Pirates up eight Molina denies there causes a little disruption

042she yells out switch she's stay seems like to be a little bit of an adjustment from the first half second half the Pirates are switching over the top of the dribble weave you know it' be I that is Molina making the switch I wonder if Jason wanted to make that adjustment a half or if Molina is trying to be more aggressive and doing that herself Jason's now giving directions to his team about matchups out there good switch there putting Emily ESS on a smaller player that's Molina's second foul Anna's guarding a much smaller player doing a nice job keeping her in [Applause] front Levan takes it in unsuccessful grab it Taylor secures it and she's taking it to the house unable to finish Southport with the rebound they look to put push there's Molina good

043job Southport no good good Hustle by Molina and Emily earis with a good strong rebound and she in turn gets fouled by Southport Steve Holland on the call there you know what I don't disagree yeah pretty close to resemblance yeah not sure about Mr Holland's basketball knowledge but nonetheless official doeses look like him a little bit Pirates once again attacking the two3 Zone skip pass by Molina over to erce nothing there she kicks it out looks like we're get caught standing just a little yep oh okay that was an R1 button there it looks like Jana cmer on top surveying over to Molina Molina they're okay taking the last shot here of the quarter oh coach Simpson called a timeout he's going to run up a set here you know in these timeout situations as

044a coach Southport has been in two3 the entire game so coach is called clearly called a timeout to run a set to get a bucket it'll be interesting to see if Southport in turn comes out and tries to trap the ball or comes out matches up for possession or does something really off the wall just to throw off the set simps is dra up cuz then it almost makes that time out not wasteful but not as effective it's part of the strategy of coaching here I'm sure Jason is uh smart enough and experienced enough to figure out that hey I may draw a set that's pretty versatile against a couple of different situations looks like it'll be CER taking the ball from the sideline and notice we have Taylor Cooney on the wing and the

045ball's being inbounded to Molina instead they definitely came out in a different Zone one 2 two and they're trapping in the corner not yep nice call by Southport right there good switch up gave the Pirates a little bit something they weren't ready for 2.1 seconds to go in the third quarter shoot it from way out oh Cooney from downtown with the three and you know as you look back at that possession they had 2.1 seconds and and Taylor was able to let the ball bounce before touching it Y and she was able to get closer Southport was so used to sitting in that zone that they didn't come up to pressure the ball and in turn gave a good quality look to Greensburg at the end of the half that gives Taylor eight points on

046the morning Wilkinson has 14 and Anda West has 16 Pirates up 38-27 as we look at the stats for this season want to give some highlights for you while you're looking those up CC Mitchell six points Miranda Dean seven points and Gracie Cherry 11 points Matty NE housee one point going into the fourth quarter Pirates 38 Southport 27 so on some stats here three-point percentage here we'll start with that since Cooney just hit that long three Jenna Foster is 50% from the three-point line for the year she hasn't had a lot of attempts Jana CER Is 375% Molina Wilkinson's at 30% from the three and Taylor is at 23% scoring overall Taylor Cooney has scores 12.6 points a game Molina's at 20 points a game and Anna West chips in 12.4 no surprises there as

047that's our three leaders and the and the three important pieces for our successes Pirates we'll look at assist and some other statistics here in just a minute Pirates going with the same five that ended the third quarter yep and Southport is back to the two3 Zone notice the adjustment out of the timeout that was made for that one possession you know coach I'll ask you they're playing a two3 zone at one point did the Pirates say you know what we're up 11 let's just go out and hip it and and we're going to stand out there and make you come out and guard us CU I think everyone in the gym knows that if Southport tries to match up with us it's probably not going to turn out well for them I would say probably

048at the the four to five minute Mark I think if we're still up 11 four five minutes I think you see coach Simpson probably pull it out with uh Cooney or Wilk and say come get us and uh and and then we're going to dribble drive and attack you that's a bold move cotton yeah I I think uh I wouldn't be afraid to to hip it right now because I think that from a an individual standpoint I think we're Superior and with the the driving ability of Taylor and Wilkerson I'd make them come guard us are we hipping it right now without hipping it I think we kind of are yes um ah there's m shooting the three that's not going to help Southport cause any no 41-27 the Pirates are up by 14 Southport

049bringing the ball up against the floor bringing the ball up the floor against our man-to-man defense Good Help by Molina as they scramble close out on Shooters Anna good nice oh could not secure the rebound but good defense by Anna West nonetheless number three that was a little bit of a Euro Step there or something that's her eighth point on the [Music] morning Pirates being patient didn't hand sometimes your body moves faster than or your mind moves faster than your body and yeah I think Molina was going to rip that go to the Baseline and and go in for a layup and you know what that's one of those turnovers it it it happens throughout the course of the game she was being aggressive nothing to fault there just just didn't handle it well Carla

050Adams checked in for Anna West who probably needed a much deserve break three-point attempt by number 15 no good Cooney battling for the rebound her battle leads to Molina securing it and she's going the length of the floor and oh just missed it Outlet pass Tooney bringing it back yep Cooney has it she understands the situation and pulls it back CER looking back to Cooney Molina looks at The Rim didn't take it Molina for three off the back iron no good Southport with the rebound looking to push now with five minutes to go here in the fourth quarter they're down 12 Cooney gets in there good hustle and gets fouled no bonus yet it'll be be on CCE Mitchell her thirdd again the uh game after this would be newal and Noblesville the winner of

051that will play the winner of this game at 600 pm tonight Jenna Foster checking in for ernstes I believe the loser of this game plays at four is that accurate yeah do you have the handout on that so we can give our viewers the right information nope I don't and as we as we talk about this we're doing a live stream of the game that Greensburg plays absolutely but we're not doing a live stream of the other games correct correct correct so so I am we are not live streaming Southport okay again so whether they win or lose doesn't matter we are live streaming the Greensburg game only Anna West checks back in for CER Cooney bringing the ball up the court 4129 with 425 to go Southport in manto man for the first time

052tonight because they understand they need to and Greensburg appears to just throw it to the team in red and the team in red appears to just throw it straight out of bounds weird yeah that was series of events there that was a a tid different either way it's not good basketball no no both coaches are probably not real happy with those last two possessions I think Sam would agree with that over there on the side in the production crew yeah I want to thank the GTV crew for coming out on this vacation morning working some cameras and working switchers look at Schuman down there acting like he knows what he's doing yeah tough shot Anna West in from the short Corner nice finish that's her 18th Point 4329 in favor of the Pirates well that

053was a good finish there too CC Mitchell with her 10th point she's a sophomore she's played well today Carly Adams Adams no good off the back iron Southport with the rebound there's Molina and she finished you know one thing I've noticed in addition to all the great things Molina does with her hustle is she's really good with her left hand that's that's a good observation she you notice you even see it in the boys game some where a kid will have a breakaway and they on the left side and they're limited or the ball gets deflected because they can't protect the ball on the left with their left hand Molina is not scared of shooting with the left hand attacking and shielding her body shielding using her body and finishing with that left hand up

054and good that is her 20th point Pirates 46 Southport 31 fulltime out here so again the uh the next game is New Palestine and Noblesville uh the winner of that game will play the winner of this game at 6 p.m. tonight the losers will play at 4: here at Greensburg gymnasium do we have an official name for this place is it just our gym it's just the gym just the gym we don't have a name just the gym okay have a capacity of about 5,000 I know our football field has a name I just didn't know if our gym had a name no no name here other than having the the uh boys basketball state championships on the floor yeah there's a couple of them down there y girls runner up 20 uh 2017 2018

055strong tradition of basketball here at Greensburg yep I will remind our viewers Greensburg is in the Rushville sectional this year it is back at rush and we I was trying to be trying to be professional giving a shout out to the coaches down on the bench saying hi to my beautiful wife down there um she's waving at us and getting embarrassed because she knows we're talking about her she needs to focus on the game yeah but um Greensburg is in the Rushville sectional with Lawrenceburg Rushville Connorsville Batesville Franklin County and South deerburn so familiar folks like the EA it's the way it's been since I've been here scottt that is nuts yep and that's what makes the IAC such a good conference it's balanced it's it's competitive it's fair for all the kids um it

056really is kind of a unique thing as as you travel across the state the the lady pirates already played at Rushville right they we beat Rushville at Rushville and that was the first win at Rushville in quite some time good gritty win early in the season for the Pirates oh you only get one set of dribbles there uh that that there is a violation that's all right you know what I like the aggressiveness I think Anna knew it soon as she put the ball back on the floor y Molina Wilkerson checks out probably done for for the game I would guess she finishes with 20 points nice nice about right at her average correct yep she averages 20.2 points a game nice morning by Molina absolutely she understood that we were a little stale offensively

057and her spark her efforts her her contributions to the game really made it difference in turning this game around go get it Jenna Foster senior Claudia Sims checked in for Molina and it looks like um yep number 40 Molly Richards is checking in for Anna West another another solid game by Anna West Claudia Sims senior for the Pirates good to see her getting some minutes here anna finishes with 18 points and I think was the key to getting us back in on track of of getting this separation in the game yeah Anna with her with her ability and size inside it would be nice it'll be nice to see how we use her against future opponents especially against quality teams I think the way the game is played now with the dribble drive and it's

058so focused on guard play when you have a big that's really capable inside teams really don't know how to defend that y yeah especially when it's effective with both hands the way and was today going right hand or left hand is is a is a huge plus he called Carly Adams on an offensive foul Steel by Claudia Sims Jenna now the point guard she's bringing it up the floor looking to see if she can go by somebody creat separation swings it to Claudia Claudia over to erus ernestus looks tries the post nothing there Jenna back swings around the right side of the floor insert there to Richards Richard up off the rim no good erns his hustles and off off Southport out of bounds pirate basketball underneath SAR sta into the game number 12 coming

059in for Carly Adams I know as a coach it is always a good feeling when you can get everybody in the game and and play some minutes because everybody's at practice they're all working hard they're doing the things they need to do to play as well and and it's always a good feeling to be able to dump the bench oh Molly Collins nice move did everything right but finish did everything right but finish 4631 with a minute 30 to go in the fourth quarter ernst's hustling as always almost created a steal Southport looking Pirates now transitioned back to the offensive side of the floor over to stap stap swings it to ernestus vation F what uh Grant what what is after today I know obviously we're going to play the SE at six what what's
