I think there's some excitement and enthusiasm playing in the home tournaments playing in the finals getting ready for the uh toss up. Looks like the teams are evenly matched. See what it's like with speed and ball skill in just a few minutes. Hash wins that stolen by Sharon Eagles. They'll bring it up the court begin to move into the opening possession. Little long pass for a
004backup cut. >> Shot in. >> A great shot by number 10 Taylor. >> Nice shot by Casey. >> Oh no. Yeah, you're right. It was Taylor. I don't know how she hit that shot. Kind of falling away. Threw the ball up and she hit. >> Nice smooth shot. Good rebound. Ava's going to need to be powerful and dominant on the board. >> Yeah, she usually is. >> Good movement. They're going to get that ball in there. >> That's Kiana moving. Ball poked away by Ashlin. gets the ball underneath up. >> Abra gets mauled underneath and >> that'll be the the first um first foul on >> Oh. Oh, great great pick up there by drives and gets called for the foul on that >> layup. >> We have >> definitely a different officiating group calling
005tighter in the game as it should be. >> We have Yeah, I think they for whatever reason let the boys play a little bit looser, a little bit more physical. >> It's a good shot by There's the first one and tie the game up here with the second one. >> Nice job. >> That was a great uh free throws by Niko getting both of them in. Three-pointer by D. >> Scramble. Ma with her speed showing up. Moving down the court. Good court vision. >> Leila with a quick dribble and a great job by Leila there just to get right into the lane and throw the ball up in the paint. You always want to take shots from the paint if you can. Absolutely. Oh, good defense. Double >> and a jump ball coming. going to
006show you later shot there is almost the Kareem arm hook as >> she brings it up. It's >> almost not quite not quite. >> Quick shot by Sharon but >> Leila with the rebound. Ellie coming all the way down unopposed and AA getting the she draws the foul there. the foul. >> Expect to see a go to the foul line quite a bit in this game. >> Yeah, >> you know, she shows a good job there in the paint drawing fouls. >> Four to two here on the second looking to set something up. >> Another three by three attempts. Oh, that ball a little long. Lea certainly owning the paint in the defensive area. Bring the ball up link. You go. Oh, >> they're going to pull on charge. Yeah, there's a charge. put her
007shoulder down going in, but better than bumping heads with the other player. >> Absolutely. Taylor did a good job of getting her feet set there. She was moving right up into the contact. So, very, very clever shot. >> What a rebound on the ground rebound and the foul. Yeah. I mean, talk about quick thought for Ally just to see that ball coming down at her, grabbing it. >> That's worthy of a huddle preview, I'd say. >> Yeah. Those are the kind of rebounds I get >> because you're always lying down on the court. >> Yeah, that's that's it. >> If I'm down on the court, it's because I fell down and I can't get back up. And usually that means my son is laughing at me because he benched me. >> Yeah, we people that
008are under six feet tall don't do a good job on the boards. Speak for yourself. I'm over six feet, but he takes me out every time. And >> well, he's got those long arms, long legs. Competition in the house is the tallest. He's uh he's right there. >> Quick timeout early on. Both these team try to get to a great jump fig uh who's doing what, who's defending whom, what's going to work, what's not going to work. >> My mistake. can look to show that was a foul. I think it was a time >> I think it was a timer or maybe it was >> I think it was a time I call on the floor can't get up from that position the ball handler bring it up dribbles quickly moves fast trying to find
009an open lane defense Yeah, unlucky for turnover. >> A breakaway, but >> actually able to get back. Oh, what a steal by >> three-pointer by Ka off the room. >> Sharon slows it down. You know, I love the energy that uh is coming into girls basketball now with the uh the growth of the WNBA, uh the college sports and the rise of that. You know, the Caitlyn Clarks, the S Cunninghams, the LSU stars. You know, girls want to aspire now. They have something to aspire to. Before WNBA wasn't taken quite as seriously. Now, it's growing. It's developing. We're seeing this right here. I mean, look at the size of the Sharon Eagle bench. They've got 15 players on their team. Ashley's got nine. Uh, great intention. Great shot there. Uh, excellent shot by a five-point
010rebound. Also missed able to recover. Good ball movement. Good passing. That's excellent. >> Three point. Oh, good three-point attempt. Nicole with the rebound and Ashton comes up with speed now. Looking at who would get that ball up to Oh. Oh, there was a lot of a lot of body contact there. It was. So, both players were going for the ball and just inadvertent contact. Looked like the call was against Ava. >> Out of control, falling on number 10, Taylor. >> Yeah, I don't think that was any fault of Pers. just they were both going for the ball and >> yeah, >> Taylor was on the bottom end. Hopefully she's okay. I mean, she hit the the hardwood floor pretty hard. >> She's all good. She's up and moving but shaking up. >> Looks like she's
011hurt left leg, maybe her left hip working a little gingerely. I think I think we'll see her back. That was that was a tough play. >> I think uh Ava got caught between two players from Sharon and she fell on Taylor and the other player fell on her. So unfortunately Taylor got the double impact of that. >> Good screen lost on the dribble. Coach almost got involved in the play on the sidelines. I think we're looking for the player was thinking of passing and the other player wasn't quite sure. So it ended up double dribble situation. >> Yeah, let the ball go out of bounds. >> There's a foul on the end. to do something with the step through. Oh, almost got the finish in the right spot there with the rebound and the score.
012>> That is good all around play by Ashlin. That's team working hard, working together. Pico racing number three, Laya coming up Sharon. Oh, unfortunately steps out. >> Both teams playing with some good energy, good movement. Let's see if they can keep up that pace for four quarters. The player puts it right up a little bit too far. able to recover. >> Nice drive with the lane there. Just unable to take a layup get involved. >> Well, I think part of this game is going to come down to how well number three Laya from Sharon goes up against number 22 AA from Ashley. Similar height, both aggressive players. able taking a break. >> Good job getting the rebound match up in the lane and it drops. >> Good job. >> I think she was looking for
013the foul there. I think she was too. I think that was could have gone either way, offensive or defensive foul. So, I'd be happy with just the basket. is trying to Nice job there by >> Lyla. Lyla's got a great drive. Good ball speed right now. Ashley has matched up against her on defense. I would say watching Sharon defense, they do a lot of reaching. I got to be careful if that stop falling. It's going to be for Sharon. Good job there, Nico trying to recover that errant pass, but just took a bad bounce and went out. So down here just less than two minutes left to go in the quarter. >> Good move. I'm lucky. Nico is so good coming down here. picks it up. Oh, and the ball gets away from everybody. A
014foul. >> Number two sliding into the lakes. >> Sharon Joe just gave up five fouls. >> It's a lot of fouls bonus here. >> Will get two but a minute 35. Any other fouls would be shooting fouls. That was in and out. >> Count his second free throw. That >> Ashland up by seven here. So we good quarter for them. Wind down the first quarter. Nico all over. >> Oh, it's good defensively. Bad pass. Unable to pull it in and rolled out. >> Yeah, very pressing of aggressive defense. >> Substitution. >> Sucks. Yeah. >> Lea on for Ava. Nico brings the ball up again. >> Great screen by Leila. Takes a shot. Good three-point effort. >> But Alien on the shot. >> Oh, Leila almost getting that. >> Unable to pull it in. >> Just
015under a minute to go here in the first quarter. Ashlin kind of setting up in the middle of the court here, leaving some players behind. >> Nice. Good defense by Leila there on the drive by. >> Yeah, she just held her position and put her arms up and >> Great defense. That's the way to do it. >> Exactly. And then the playoint effort. Oh, that was just off. That was >> Those three-point efforts are going to make a difference. as they keep attempting those. All they need is 33% on their three points. Then they're going to be uh in contention. So if they keep that up, nice good open shots. Come >> around 30 seconds here in the first quarter. Sharon looking to put some points on the board. >> Great steal by Nico. Now
016the speed behind the ball pass >> setting up Leila with the shot for two. >> A little bit too quick with that shot. >> This is a pretty physical game uh watching them. And there's uh multiple times players are on the floor after a play. >> Yeah. Give the girls credit. I mean, they're both being aggressive, going after balls. >> It's great. Yeah. >> Show some passion. They want the game. They want the ball. They want to win. >> Pass a little too hot to be retained. Lea with a great assist pass. Casey with the shot. Didn't quite get it. Look at that dive. Look at that effort on the floor to get the ball. >> Both teams playing well. >> Shard. >> 8 seconds. >> Two seconds left. They need to get this ball
017up the >> She's not going to get past Mika. They're going to get dribbled down there in there. >> Got to put that ball up. No. Way to stop that shot from getting up. What a great quarter for both teams. Looks like more of the shot opportunities went to Ashlin. So up 114. >> Yeah, good job by Nico at the end there slowing down that >> absolutely >> drive uh to come out of the first quarter with a seven-point lead. That's fantastic. >> Yeah, more shots dropping for Ashlin. I think Ashlin taking some of the closer shots under under the basket and balls are dropping. Sharon has a pretty deep bench there. So I think as you as we get into the third and fourth quarters Yeah. >> If they have some players that come
018out and and do well, they're going to have the legs. >> Absolutely. I think at the pace that Ashland's playing, it's going to come down to uh whether they fit enough uh and what has their what is their conditioning practice been like. Um Ashland has the ability uh sorry Sharon has the ability as you said to go deeper and so doesn't can run harder potentially for shorter periods. Um but that's also part of what this uh this tournament is about is getting the conditioning in. Nothing like match play to pull you up. >> By the way, we did find out between the games uh all these games count towards their league scores. So every every game matters. It's not just a fun little tournament. Well, which is probably why we see them playing with such
019intensity because they know it it everything matters. >> They can take advantage too of playing a team outside of their division. Maybe division down or or somebody get getting that win is very important. Alli bringing the ball up. Moving around trying to get set up. Good deep by Sharon. >> A very good job of swarming. >> That's going to be >> No, because she she smart let go of the ball. >> Well done. >> Yeah, did a great job there. >> Smart play. >> 3 seconds left on the clock. The ball's up. Oh, just off the front rim. >> Uh foul called on Leila. uh reaching over the top there. That was great defense by Sharon. This is a good rotation for Ashland with Leila, Ava, uh and uh Niko on the courts. Uh probably
020their top three in terms of movement and scoring. Well, now they now they're screening Niko, not letting her defend the ball carrier. >> Nice move down the middle by number 13. takes it in for a flo and hits the two. >> Looks like they're faceguarding Niko, not giving her any space whatsoever. There's a push. There's a push as well on AA. Note called, but >> yeah. Uh Ava complaining to the refs all the way down the court. She's got to be careful. Wide open underneath, but um >> travel on the no basket. >> Serena gets called on a travel there. Again, that's a NBA uh typical shot, but here for high school basketball, they actually do call travel. >> No NBA calls here. >> No. Uh >> well, Ava driving in. >> Ava driving off.
021She's getting a little frustrated with the hands-on aggressive body contact, but she can fight through that. She's >> shot up and long. >> Nicely done. Good defense. Ball tied up. They're under the hoop. Goes to Sharon on the jump ball to Sharon. >> Sharon's got this good play. >> Oh, that's a good move. Good. Ah, right into number five. >> Number five puts it up with a foul. I think it was kind of an underhand >> underhand. >> Very low percentage shot, but >> it rolled in for her. >> Yeah, the hope was to draw the foul. So Serena will go to the line. Foul was on Casey. Her first foul. >> Still up by five here with 600 to go in the second quarter. Been an aggressive game, very physical, >> but low scoring.
022Lea with another defensive rebound. >> Handing off to Nikico, >> setting a screen. Lea Lea gets tied up and Lea still fights her way to get the ball back, but number four Izzy comes away with it. >> Miler again. by Alexa. >> That was a rough foul. Laya moving around so much. Allie just puts an elbow in her back >> and she draws the foul. >> Yeah, a lot of times if you just get that ball in the paint and, you know, try to hook the ball up, you're going to draw a foul and that's what you see, especially some of the um >> the number of times Sharon has gone to the free throw line, they got to clean up their free throws a little bit. Uh they've missed too many. Uh it's forcing
023them to stay behind. That's a good one. Getting that in. Yeah, they needed you to say that so that they would >> Well, that's okay. That's okay. They need that, right? >> But up until then, they hadn't hit a free throw. So later at the top of the D with the screen, Casey got an opportunity. Great three-point shot. >> Oh, just doesn't fall for uh hits the top of the board and it's a turnover. Yeah, AA was in position to get the rebound, but it hit the top of the backboard. Mean pretty making it an out- of- bounds ball. >> So now Sean will reload. Got to get some points on the board. Laya just with that drive toss over. Easy get to the basket for two. Good job there by Laya. Pretty much going
024coast to coast. Leo with a hand off to 23 Ashley. Cross over to Ellie with a step back. Laya with the block. Another fight for the ball. Sharon comes away with it. Pushing down the court now. Somebody needs to get in front of Lilo. She'll drive straight at the basket. There she goes through two players. >> Foul on the on the ground. Oh, we got a time out. Ashlin calls a timeout. >> Yeah, Ashland is, you know, up by seven, I think, and they've allowed Sharon to sneak back in. I mean, now they're up by two. And I don't Ashley hasn't put any points in the board for a while. >> Yeah. Not for a while. >> So has to just, you know, slow down, think about what they're doing, execute their plays. >> Yeah.
025>> They'll go back to what they do best. which is still very early on. Uh a very lowcoring game so far, a lot of missed shots. >> That seems to be the nature of of a lot of high school games in the first quarter. They tend to not score very quickly. They get into a rhythm, start picking up. Second, third quarter picks up plays. So, we'll see it uh see more of it happening later on. >> Yeah, I I expect we will. when you're playing in the championship game, nerves always has a part to play in it. Uh you want to do well. You uh sometimes homec court advantage is good. Sometimes it gives you added pressure. You just don't know it. Totally totally agree. >> And any of you folks listen uh watching on
026WACA TV, feel free to message us. Let us know where you're watching from. Send us a comment. Um, happy happy to hear from you. Coming back from the timeout. Five minutes left to go in the second quarter. >> Sharon inbounding and he almost >> It's a jump ball. Should go to Ashland, I think. >> Yeah, good job by Ashley tying up that ball very quickly. >> Very good. pushing the ball up again. Here's the three. Oh, little too much power on that shot. Wing over. Foul called on number three. That's her third foul. >> Yeah. Now all these uh >> once again Sharon at the free throw line. >> All these non-shooting fouls and all these shooting fouls for >> Yeah. over for four and a half minutes, which is a long time. >> You
027certainly don't want their best shooters to get eye in at the free throw line. So >> yeah, >> we hit the first one. This one the tie >> and no rebound by Lea. >> Oh go for three. >> What a great shot. They didn't signal for three. They said two. >> Oh, they said two. I thought >> Yeah, I think her foot was on the line. >> Foot must have just been on the line. Uh, but that was a great screen setup by Eva to get Nika free on that. Kiana's on number three giving her best at forcing a bad pass and a foul called with a slap. >> Yeah, it was a great steal there by Nico jumping in, grabbing the ball and getting a foul from um the Sharon player. >> But, you
028know, good good quick reaction and quick hands by Nico. Very good. Nico brings the ball up now all the way. Look at that screen and the foul. >> Nice job by Nico there. Saw the opening and just took the opening and got fouled on the play. >> It's a wonderful little setup by Ashlin at the top of the the key there. Uh they have their two bigs uh setting a screen on both sides. Niko can just pick which way she wants to go with an open lane straight to the basket. Hopefully that's a play that they get a lot more points so far. >> That's the first free throw. >> Wow. Just misses the second. Laya comes away. Oh, so close to a travel but able to stop the slide in the four. Izzy coming
029up. That didn't work out the way uh I think the players wanted. No, look at that little side step with the easy shot. Unfortunately, the shot doesn't go. Ava with the rebound and pushing down the court now knowing her she's going to drive all the way to the basket. Gets the foul. >> They have to drive to the basket here. >> Foul on Laya. >> A lot of times you're going to get the foul. >> Yla with her first foul. >> That's going to be the matchup of the game. Lla and Ava. >> A for two. >> That's a great shot. >> Yeah. Wonderful little rhythm to her shooting. Bounce the ball three times, puts her left foot back, takes the shot. >> Yeah, sorry. Hitting a number of >> That one doesn't freeze before
030the game during practice. >> Commentators curse fortunately. >> Nice move by Riley. Great step through. >> Lea calling for help with a fullourt press. Niko going up. Well, it's good to see number 10 Taylor's back in the game. So, >> oh, just missed. Recovered from her injury from earlier. >> That pass was tipped, but still it made it all the way. And now they call it travel >> travel that time. >> So, they've certainly scouted a they doing some uh heavy body press on her full cord in her face the whole time. Look at this. Hands on all the time. >> Three minutes to go here. coming up. >> There we go. There's a pick play. Free point of >> Oh, >> Leila with the score there and the offensive rebound underneath. Great job on
031the offensive rebound. Laya driving again >> and the foul. She'll get the foul. >> That foul was on that time. Yeah, it's tough. She had her hands, she did everything right. See, she had a little bit of movement. She didn't she didn't get her spot there. >> Um, with two at the free throw line. Ashlin up by four. and misses and Arsenal there. >> Good fight underneath. Kiana coming back. Risky pass unfortunately didn't work out. Stolen by Sharon. Little stutter step and the shot didn't fall. Yeah, she had to get that up over Ava. Um she had to go with a very high arc and the ball just wasn't able to drop. >> Speed and the drop. What a great play. She's so quick once she sees the opening. Um, she's there in a flash.
032>> Yla comes back down the other way. >> That could have gone both ways. I don't know. That could have been a charge versus a blocker. >> It could have. Well, that, you know, drawing a foul, a lot of times you're you're purposely running into or right near the defensive player trying to draw that foul. >> Well, the coach just uh didn't like that call. Made it known to the ref. ref gave him a warning. Uh so ref not taking anything. Coach needs to watch his step cuz next is a technical. >> Uh and then potential toss out. So we don't want that in a championship game. >> Yeah, we know the ref is always right. Whether they're right or wrong, they're right. >> Is that like business? The customer is always right. >> Yeah.
033>> Lea bring the ball up. >> Moving around. Taylor number 10 for Sharon. Little dump java in the step and the foul. >> Now aa gets it back on. >> That's how it's going to be. They're going to be going back on each other. >> Yeah. Until one of them fouls out. >> Yeah. So >> I don't know how many fouls are on each of them. >> Laya's got two. Leila's got two. Ava has got two as well, I think. So >> pretty even match up. >> Great shot. >> That keeps Ashley in the lead. All right, just under two minutes to go here. >> Smooth shooting. That's high percentage free throw shooting by by a good job. Got some substitutions going on here. We keep hearing the buzzers taking a break. >> Take a
034rest. >> So on for her is uh looks like Serena number five. Oh no, it's number 15 uh Emma. That rebound getting away from Ashlin looking to get it into the tank. >> Great steal by Leila. What a play. >> Leila saw that pass coming all the way and just came right through and picked it out of the air. >> Oh, almost with a full completion on the other side. But Kiana fighting jump ball. Lea is pretty much saying if you're in the paint in Ashland side, it's my ball, nobody else's. Yeah. And she's making her presence. >> Uh Ashland also has put Niko to guard Laya for Sharon. That's a good option. Good ball handler. Speed on the floor. Laya's not getting an open drive. That harassment is stopping her. Izzy with the ball.
035Oh, she forces a travel on that defense. >> 23. Good job there by Ashley. >> Ashley doing a good job. >> Step back for a three. Easy fall to Kiana. She'll do it again. Oh. Oh. Oh. Roll in. Rolls in. Rolls in for Niko. Nice job, Nico. >> Way to feed her. Now Ashland with a 10-point lead with under a minute to go here in the half. >> Great way to end off. Good D. >> Taylor bring the ball up, passes it off. Give and go up the middle, but actually able to defend against that. >> So Emma did a good job of giving the bigs a rest. >> So maybe a timeout. Uh maybe you can explain this tactic to me. I see coaches uh making substitutions with like 30 seconds to go. Is
036there a reason behind that? >> Well, it depends, I think, on what side you're on. You know, if if one side's going to get the ball and maybe you want to put some of your big players down the end just to defend against >> uh the attack or maybe you want to have your speedier players in to slow the ball down from getting up the court versus your better shooters, you know. So, you have to decide, do we put our better defenders in? Do we put our better people that are on offense in, >> right? >> Um, or they may just also want to be, you know, just coming up with a last play, the last couple of plays. You know, here's what I want you to do, and then on the next play, do
037this, >> right? >> Especially for Ashlin with a smaller roster, it's a sneaky way to get a little bit of extra rest time >> because 35 seconds in the last half is >> never 35 seconds. It's more like 2 minutes, 3 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Ashel appreciates every time out. Um Sharon >> Shar absolutely. >> All right. Winding down the half here. Uh 37 and a half seconds to go. Ashlin up by 10. Sharon inbounding the ball. It's quick to the top of the key. A three-pointer. >> That's a great set play. >> That was a great play. >> Great set play. But now, Niko, 30 seconds. Shot clock is off. Bringing the ball up. >> Can she drive at the basket or set up for a three-point? She takes a three-point shot. >> Just off.
038>> That was Leah on Sharon that hit that three-point shot. Just want to give a shout out to her. >> Great shot by Leah. >> And now Ashlin ball. That was a good turnover. Ashlin will hopefully just set up for one last shot of this first half. So Ashlin has this four four spread drop off. Abera with three points. >> Great shot by AA putting that 10 points back up. >> 12 10 seconds left. >> Bring it back to a 10-point lead. >> Putting into their best. She >> gets it knocked away and >> knocked away on the dribble. >> Yeah, all you want to do is just hold the ball right now. Okay, there we go. End of the half. >> What a great ending for Ashlin. Great 10-point lead. >> Yeah, Ashlin up
03927 to 17. 10-point lead going into halftime here. Um >> well uh players for Ashland. I mean Ava uh Niko uh definitely playing really well. Leila just is owning everything. She's rebounding bring the ball up. Uh funniest thing is watching her parents on the sideline. They're more active than she is. Uh it's it's great to watch parents getting that supportive and behind their kids. Yeah. Uh and then for Sharon, uh Laya just their number one player and Taylor number 10 with the injury early came back and is hard aggressive guarding against uh against AA. So great play all around. >> Yeah, definitely great play all around. So the teams will go back into the locker room, readjust. Uh coaches will have a lot to say, I'm sure, and they'll come back out for the second
040half of this championship game. >> Uh 27, not a lot to make up for Sharon. So, they have still in a game 100%. And we'll take a quick break here and be back to see everybody at the start of the second half. >> Right now, >> brought to you in part by Townhouse Pizza, Subs, Roast, Beac, and more. Be sure to fill up with the Buffalo Chicken Cowzone that's been called one of the best in the area. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Come on. Hey. Okay. Heat. Heat. Heat. Let's go. Good job. All right. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm out. Are you ready? Everybody, welcome back to the girls final championship game in the 2025 Ashlin Holiday Hoops Classic. We have quite the uh battle going on here between Ashlin and Sharon. Ashlin has taken a
04110-point lead. Very physical game, very aggressive game on both sides. I'm sure the second half is going to uh be even more exciting than the first half, right? >> I think so. Uh quick start by Ashley and uh Nick, she came past the inbound. Little smile on her face dodging out two players. So, pretty good. >> That's great. Quick three by who else but Laya. And she nails it. Cut the lead down to seven. And you see Lyla make that shot and the whole bench jumps out to applaud her. You really don't want that bench getting involved in the play. They're like a like a sixman right there. >> Yes. >> Ball chipped out. No. That's going to go to Sharon on the inbound here. Right in front of the uh scorers bouncing tables it
042out to Taylor. Three-point try. Look at the speed of Ma coming down the court. >> Oh, a little bit too fast. Once again, a fight under the under the basket for the middle. >> Yeah, we've seen those fights out of the basket there, I think, all game so far. Sharon inbounds with the ball to brings it up looking for that opening. toler gets in the paint, takes a shot, but picked up by a with some quick moves and then great takeaway there by getting her hands up on the pass and just steering the ball. She's just got to reach in underneath there. When you watch these players play, both coaches have taught have taught their players how to set screens really well. Aggressive hard screens. Seeing we'll see which team makes the most >> use
043and there's a three. Ellie Ellie slipped coming off the screen there. Uh kind of tripped on the on the courts and left it wide open for that three. Quick time out by Ashley to slow that down. >> Yeah, Ashlin was up by 10. Now they're up by four. And she said they got to take a quick time out. >> Try to get some correction here. I don't think they slip away. >> It seems almost intentional by Sharon. They started with Laya driving in the first half, but in the second half they set up shoots and she can do both. >> Yeah, it's nice nice to have a player who could drive the hoop and shoot threes. >> Quick time out here. Um, want to remind everybody we'll have the uh, boys final championship game here
044for the Ashlin Holidays Classic at 4:15 today. So, right after this game, we'll have the boys final and there shows up in that, too. What What a great Ashlin Holiday Classic to have both the boys and the girls make it to the finals. >> Absolutely. Next bigger turnout. Come on down. There's still a raffle going out there. Not to mention the fantastic basketball. >> Well, of course, >> of course inbound. >> I don't think a fullourt press means anything to Nico. >> She just doesn't care. >> No, it's just Oh, the three points up. Oh, great little flex. >> Great job by Aver to get that ball tipped back in. Now Aver up and oh, goes up with a shot and um Dami stepped into her with a foul. Was she in three-point? Is she
045going to get three shots here or two? >> Yeah, that was a three-point shot. again Donnie just aggressive play nothing malevolent about it turns around straight afterwards helps ever get to your feet >> that's a good sportsmanship you want to see at this sort of level >> you don't need aggressive stepping over and after plays >> yeah I mean so far none of these fouls have been malicious and as we as we do see in some games very dangerous Guess two out of two so far. >> But three for three on the free throw line. That was >> that's impressive. >> Puts Ashton back at seven. >> Miler with the ball again. But quick break to the basket. >> Ashlina another defensive rebound. I don't know what number she catch, but it's going to be
046over. >> Just a volunteer. Just a tough shot. Tough shot to get >> it was uh Yeah, Milo stopped short and uh action player just kind of ran out of her inadvertently. >> I think Gla was trying to get the steal and just couldn't stop. >> Yeah. >> Immediately looked over at her parents on the bench. Yeah, I didn't mean that. >> Oh, nice passing underneath. >> That's great defense. >> Kick out for the three-pointer. No good. >> Another rebound. With the rebound again bringing the ball up thinking about three points. Kicks it across. That's Ellie. Ava able with a couple of moves >> gets in the lane and gets fouled as she goes in. >> I don't know how you stop Ava. She steps through. She brings her hands through the ball. You're going
047to hit her arm every time. It's a great way to get >> Yeah, just beautiful the way she's either going to get the shot or she's going to draw the foul most of the time. fearlessly. She just went straight at number Let's draw the foul. Let's let's have her follow. >> Bunch of substitutions going on here. coach yelling and screaming, losing his voice, wanting fullourt press. >> Getting away with a shirt tug there. >> Players let up right there in full court press mode. >> Substitution that time to fly goes for the three. She does short. >> Oh, >> well the whole Sharon bench jumped up there. See Laya Laya stiff out of bounds. >> Yeah, Laya. I think she just got her foot on the out of bounds. >> Nice pass up there. >>
048We've seen the three do straight up post play. Is there something she can't do? into Ava. Oh, just misses Eddie with the flag on the foul. >> Nice job there by Allen. Couple of quick fakes and draws the foul. >> Well, They go to Ava. Ava in the paint. >> Oh, it just misses. What a follow up. >> Leila with an offensive rebound now. Easily over 10 rebounds now if you count both defensive and offensive together. Yeah, I mean her timing was impeccable on that to get that ball as it were coming down and got it right back up in trying to make something happen here. Nice quick pass. Oh >> yeah, >> I think Ava wanted the the big block on the shot. Honestly, if she had just stood still, Taylor would have ran
049straight into the charge. But unfortunately, she's in the air, so it right. Should have left her feet, but >> Taylor from from Sharon is a gutsy player. Really physical, hard, making herself being felt. >> Yeah, that's a good point. She's not afraid to go in against somebody a lot bigger than her. Drive to the hoop that >> nine-point game with action. Nico just just slices through like nothing. Back in a couple of fakes. Nice give in. >> Great assist. Great assist. Great feed to Ally. coming down the middle. >> You see now Leila's got a fourth foul coming from behind. She can complain all she likes. It's just not going to >> Yeah, that's she has to be very careful now. Three minutes left in the third. >> She's on four fouls. Uh so she'll
050sit for most of this third quarter, I think. >> I think that's a smart move on the coach's part. He's got to save her for the fourth quarter. >> She's only got one foul to give, so she might quite a lot. >> Uh he caught that on Sharon with a push. >> Uh I think it's a push on the screen too aggressive. >> Yeah. You see they set their screens well, but if you lean into it Yeah. >> it's going to be cold against you. >> They were calling for the ball in the middle. >> Jump shot in the middle over. >> Well, minute later is off the court there. comes away with the the uh rebound. So, and I get that that's a foul and I understand it, but I mean that was a
051wild play. No control on that shot. Agreed. >> But, uh ref is certainly making sure he's in charge and that's the way it should be. >> 100%. shot by Izzy. We'll get one more up by 11 now. with a 10-point lead up in the open as she can move the ball around into a wait. >> That was strong center play. Quick step for draws a foul. Gets the shot off. Gets the hand one. Yeah, Ava now aggressively calling for the ball a little bit. She she she wants to >> she's hitting the free throws. Consistent free throws. >> Is just on fire here. >> Sharon setting up something different here. Double screen on Niko. Taylor. Taylor just right there for the the misplay of 23. Yeah, Ashley just like slipped and fell and Taylor just
052took advantage of that and came right in and basket again. Kicks it out. Did a good job moving the ball around. Rico with the three. Oh, swish three. nails it. >> What a great up great play. >> Is just going to take this game with her hands down. >> Oh, Taylor now driving the lane. >> No, >> draws the foul. >> Foul on a foul. Okay, >> two shots. Oh, ref said she was >> Oh, no. They're in bonus. So, Two minutes to go here in the third quarter on the shot now. But uh good effort. Good rebound by Ashley. Taylor has the capacity to Shannon back. So she needs to have an answer for that. That was a very long recovered by Vio and draws the foul. >> Suddenly, we're seeing a lot of
053fouls here. >> Yeah. Uh I think uh between Taylor and Laya, they are driving at Ashley players getting them a little frustrated. They're moaning a lot after the plays about the power. Got to be careful because probably has a few fouls for Ellie. >> Yeah, also Ellie's getting a little frustrated and so good good substitution. Get the player. Almost stepped over the line on that. That was close. dancing around. You see, there's a good call. >> Yeah, >> there's a good call >> to reach him there. >> Yeah, I mentioned that in the first quarter that they're doing that before the balls. So, the do you just can't reach under the >> That's one thing when you're not in the bonus, >> right? Now you got a top scorer and free throw line. Yeah. Every
054time that you put it over the line. >> Yeah. >> Great shot. Great shot. Makes a 12 12 point difference from I just keep feeding over the let it get fouled all the time. Violet driving away again this time. No, not going to give her the foul. >> Oh, she picks up her own rebound. Comes in. >> I like that play. That shot following up after a shot, getting the rebound and getting the foul. Uh something I harassed my son about. We'll see them next. >> Yeah. And in high school, do you know too many kids like put the ball up and then kind of admire themselves for the shot? It's not to like >> maybe go back down the court when you should be going aggressively after that ball that you just shot. >>
055It's uh too many too many YouTube highlight videos. >> Those players are putting hours and hours into shooting so they know when it's going and so they run down the course. We got to be more consistent. That was great play. Great play by Ashley to get in there and to get that rebound. Unfortunately, none of his shots went in, but uh good play. A minute to go here in the third quarter. By again trying to make something happen. Pull up. Jumper. >> Sharon able to keep control of the ball. Quick shot. >> Another rebound by Sharon. And this time Oh, that fell off the rim. jump this time. This time it's going to go to Ashlin. >> That was a mystery on who's going to get the jump ball. Pass up to the ball around
056a looking for that ball in the middle. >> She gets the foul off the elbow. >> That's going to put fouls now. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Fouls. >> Wow. >> It's going to be the coach subs are off. >> Needs to take a breath. >> Yeah, exactly. She needs to take a breath. >> There we go. I must say I love watching the Ashton coach. One of the most animated coaches I've seen in a long time. >> Ry again trying to set something up. >> Great defense. >> He's kind of cold on the roll for a travel. >> He had the ball right but rolled around a little bit too much. Sean will inbound for >> the basket. >> Oh, nice job. Nice knock away. >> That's going to be another jump. >> Great
057job. You know that that sort of kids up play there where you're on the ground going to have a a jump ball and you roll over give up the ball. Well, they give up the jump ball. They're going to get it anyway. But now you get the jump ball back. shown inbounding the ball. >> Oh, almost almost back court. >> Straight through two defenders. They both went for the up. >> Good job here by >> That's the end of the half. Uh third period, sorry, third quarter. >> 44 3-3. 11 point difference there. Each divisible by 11. >> There we go. It's almost like they're playing it. >> What's it? Well, this is still pretty tight, Dorian, don't you think? I mean, Ashlin's up by 11 points, but going into the fourth period, >> I
058think so. I think it is tight. Kashan has the ability to come back. But with so much play behind, again, I don't know how many games the high school girls have won this year. But they are fighting into a winning perspective and a winning mentality. You know, teams that win consistently, they see that as a bit of a cushion, but I think Ashlin sees it as even game. So, good fight for them. >> Well, I like I like that both these teams, you know, they're they're driving the lane. They're not afraid to get into the paint. They're not afraid to draw the fouls. >> Um, and on defense, you know, they're they're both pressing very well. I mean, it's a very evenly matched game >> and it's good play. We're seeing two teams that deserve
059to be in the championship putting on championship level >> and that's exciting to see >> I mean if there are any young kids watching at home thinking about playing basketball this is your future. I know for my son he used to come and watch these games and dreamt of being on a high school varsity team and now he's playing varsity. That's they're putting on a good show and a good performance for younger siblings, younger players. >> Right. >> I agree to your point too, you know, the the level of play now in girls high school basketball has advanced so much. I mean, he's I'd put some of these guys on boys and I think they would do pretty well. >> They they would compete. Absolutely. They would compete well. >> Well, we start in the
060fourth quarter and coaches put back in. Hopefully she can play with the level head and not put up too many fouls. >> Very hard to do in the paint. She just got trip undera coming down at speed going straight at aa setting up a three-point shot and a shots it 2436 Ashley's going to answer with her own three-point shot and it's just off one of the middle with a quick play. Just missed. Wow. Able to get back and block that pass pretty good. Ali bringing the ball up. Looking for somebody over to Nico. Nico always in the middle looking for She wants that pass. >> Absolutely she does. ball knocked out of. Can you see AA's getting frustrated with Taylor reaching in on her the whole time as she calls for the ball? >> Just
061got to get her the ball. Get her the ball. The foul will be called, >> right? >> Good job there by uh Sharon too. >> Smart play by Lea letting the not drawing the foul, letting the shot up, but making it difficult and getting the rebound. waiting for something to set up. Three >> pulled a two. >> Alli on the two. Actually, his foot must have just been on the line. Great shot by Ally from just >> on the paint of the key. Oh, getting locked on the screen. >> Who is that foul on? This is going to be telling on a puts a four fouls now. So, Lea and A both had four fouls. >> All right. Precarious situation. Ashland. I think he's going to need both of them to play through the fourth
062quarter. >> Kind of hear all of a sudden I got very quiet. yet for her second free throw. You could literally hear a pick up. >> She hits it. We got a timeout Sharon. 620 left to go. We have nine-point differential here. So, we got a lot of time left in the game. Ashlin's two best players on four fouls. Laya from Sharon three fouls. So it's going to come down to who cannot lost on fouls. >> Neither team is in bonus situation or even close to that. >> Dorian, do you see in boys basketball? So now that you know that some of the better players have a high number of fouls, will you see players kind of going at them trying to draw fouls, you know, trying to get the better players out of the
063game? >> Absolutely. if the players are aware of it. Uh I mean this is where assistant coaches or keeping the stats can draw that that out especially to players who aren't in foul trouble. Like you don't want you don't want Laya at three going driving at a play of four away but you send Taylor one of the others to drive straight at the play because if they get called on the charge okay >> but you know get their best player out >> that's worth the risk. Yeah, I mean it certainly happens in the NBA college level, but but interesting that that we see it here. >> It it will come down to the assistant coaches giving that information up quickly. That's that three-point play that they game. Niko steps over the line and it makes
064it a two-point shot. >> Yeah. And so remember when we were coaching the third graders here and tell them that the worst shot to make is one foot inside three point >> make the three-point shot or go closer. >> What a job by Lyla. >> So now Lyla's playing point guard. So she's played center point guard big for I think she can do it all. >> I think so. >> Seven points. >> Look at that play. That's good. So right there, that's Nick driving at the basket, drawing the foul on number three. >> So she's at four fouls. >> She's at four fouls now. Again, very smart play there. >> And I mean, if coach calling over his players might be, >> right? He's telling him, she has four followers. >> Yeah. Go ahead. >>
065Look at those two walking away from the coach with determination and steal in their eyes. They They know. They know what they're going to do. >> Nice job by being able to show driving back up. >> Anastasia's coming so close to a carry. >> That was so That was so close. I thought there were I was waiting for the whistle. >> Oh, that look it was all ball >> again. Yeah, the ref knows better than me. >> And we certainly are not uh objective in this, are we? >> No. >> Oh, what a turnover there. >> Oh my word. >> A lot of pressure there on Laya. We're just able to get underway enough that that ball gets turned over. And >> both coaches clearly were saying it came off the other player's foot. So,
066bringing the ball up. There the setting. >> Oh, AA is going to get called for that. >> Okay, she's looked like a >> Oh, Ava, >> that was a that was a really tight call on a charge. >> Yeah, I I I don't think Lea was moving. >> And I think what the ref is calling is when Leila extends her elbows ever so slightly, some refs let that be a protective gesture. He was saying it was a charge. She really was shot. It felt like Taylor was up against the whole team and getting rebounds and the foul and the and one. >> Yeah. Somehow she got that ball in and one this this could bring it to within six points. >> Yeah. >> With just over five minutes to go here in this game. She
067nails it. Gets it in. So Ashley needs to focus down and not worry about Leila their best rebounder off the court and somebody else needs to step up. Get the ball to Ava. Let her work the paint. She's calling for the ball. There we go. Let her work the paint. >> Oh, following the follow up. >> That's going to be too far. >> Ashley with the rebound. Good job to get that rebound. Ball just got away from AA, but good job there by Alli picking it up. >> Corner back over to Ally. >> Great shot by the three. >> Great shot there by the Ashlin crowd goes nuts. >> 420 left to go. Mario just can't get it. >> Ashlin comes away, rips the ball away. >> Nico has the ball. Gets gets tackled almost.
068>> So he has a great setup. See a screen goes straight at the basket. >> Oh, by Ashley just misses. Violet in >> once again driving the lane. >> Very good. >> It's interesting because you're watching Ava and Lala play with a little bit of hesitation because they know they're on four fives. >> Yeah. So, it's opening up some lanes and some passes. I mean, in this situation here, I' set a screen for to go straight at >> right. >> That would be the play. Oh, that was a great stepping. Yeah, bad a bad pass there and Sharon has an opportunity to close the gap here. Seven-point lead by Ashlin. Just over three minutes to go here. Ball gets kicked back out to Lyra. Kick back out to Taylor. >> Taylor drives the lane and
069then able with the interception and the steal. Very good. >> Nice pass over. Good speed play back. Spread that to nine points now. Great job of that passion to put that ball right up and in. >> Every pass, but every pass. Everything. Everything. Nice move there. >> Another fight for the rebound. And they're going to give that to Sharon with the uh Jana step through there. >> Pretty good. Substitution there for Sharon. Sharon has three come in and three go out. >> So time out by Sharon. I don't think you like the rotation that is in there. I think you're right. Wants to look at something different. So Ashlin needs to in this space because they're not used to being in the lead playing in a competitive way. Uh coaches need to talk to them
070just about mentality. Have a winner's mentality. Get some breathing going. Slow down your so that you can not get tunnel vision on the court. They can do it. They in the lead. They the pressure is not really on them, but they think it's on them. >> Right. >> The pressure is all on Sharon right now. >> Right. In this situation, Ashley can just, you know, take their time, take time off the clock, bring the ball up, get a play set up, like you said, kick it into Ava in the paint, >> right? >> You know, I mean, you know, eight times out of 10, she's going to either draw a foul or get it in and >> and then let Sharon aggressively try to go down and make a shot and make a mistake, >>
071right? I mean, is probably going to try and full course press. Uh the clock is your friend in this scenario. So let the clock use the time and play that way. 2 minutes 41 seconds left. Nine points difference. Ashlin's got is about to go to bonus on the foul. So >> Oh, you're right. Look at that toila right there on toila. Somehow misses the layup over the basket. A lot of pressure on her. >> Alli ball up. Gets it over to Ava. Aa short jumper. >> Great play. >> Wow. >> That's mentality. That's the way to play. >> Now getting as close to the basket she can hit the short jumper and she nails it. Violet kicking it across. Nice move through the paint. >> Look at Ashley coming away with the rebound. Ashley stepping
072into Leila's role. Doing a great job. >> Oh, very close to a foul. >> Rally to Nico. Take some time off the clock here. >> Yes, possible. Move it around. Move it around. >> What? I think she >> So, I think maybe touched the ball with her other hand. Yeah, I refle the coach saw and called a timeout to try to avoid it. >> Um, but unfortunately didn't get called up by 11 with under two minutes to go. >> Yeah, just good defensive ground now. Sharon, I think >> Taylor nailed that. That's a three. >> That is a high pressure shot. >> Great shot by Taylor. Now the lead is eight for Ashley >> again. Ashley a minute a 30 on there. Oh, she goes for the three from the side and Sharon able to
073get that rebound and now driving up. Rio can nail this. Taylor on the followup. Taylor's what Ashley needs right now is some their home town to start cheering for them a little louder. That bench is getting loud and getting back into the game. >> Six-point game with a minute to go. >> Let's use the whole clock. Don't take the shot. >> Yeah. Take the clock all the way down. Put the Put more pressure on Sharon. >> All right. Good job. Now >> take call the timeout. >> It's not a bad time out. Call them out. 15 seconds. Get a play down. >> Yeah. and and you know kind of reset them mentally to know kind of where they are as you said you know we >> bring the clock down set up a good play
074>> get the points and then let's put the pressure on Sharon to catch up >> absolutely >> man what a great championship >> yeah I mean it's holiday break we get to hang out here >> yeah absolutely perfect >> just enjoyable And these have been these have all been great games. Every game today has been just a fantastic game. Um >> I don't know who decided what team should be part of this, but they they just nailed it on um >> Absolutely. >> Yeah, you very good parody. It >> was the same teams last year, so I think they've kind of found a camaraderie between them to do this. They don't face each other during the normal league, so it's a fun tournament for them. their place and get >> it's interesting, you know, in
075regular league play, you kind of know who your opponents are. You know how to play them, maybe spout them, but you come into a tournament, it's a little bit different. Some different folks, but but they seem to know each other pretty well. >> Well, there was a lot of scouting happening yesterday. >> Both players and coaches watching games. Okay, 50 seconds left. Ashton with inbound. Eight seconds to go. Nico's going to have to get the ball up and get a shot off. >> Oh, he got the shot off. >> He did. >> Vlad came with a rebound. Next minute. >> Now we're driving up the court just working her way out of the lane and Oh, >> that's called a jump. Wow. Niko with a hand on the ball to stop the shots. Great job
076getting her hand on the ball. >> Ashland inbound, I believe. And they're going to give that ball to Ashlin. >> That's huge for Ashlin. With 24 seconds to go, they can literally run the clock out here. Now, now we're going to get into the foul uh predicament. >> Oh, wow. Number 22, Gabby stealing that ball on the inbound. >> Very smart play. >> Sharon down by six. You know, it's doable. >> 23 seconds. They're going to have to make something happen very quickly here. >> Time out by Sharon. >> Time for Sharon. Your coach is going to have to draw up >> um number one, what he wants the shot to be right here. Number two, what kind of defense they run into. Do they want it to foul right away? And they don't have
077a foul, >> right? But I think they're going to have to. >> I think they have a choice. >> Who? Ashlin. >> No, no, no. I'm I'm sorry. Sharon. >> Yeah, Sharon can give up a foul. >> Yeah, Sharon can give up many fouls, but Ashlin I don't think can afford a foul. >> No, I'm just saying like I think once uh if whether or not Sharon makes the shot, the next their next move is to follow. >> Yes. What a tight game. >> A lot more people in the stands here expect >> quiet. I'm hearing the Sharon crowd far more. Although that could be the Sharon bench. I mean, they have a team and a half on the bench. So >> maybe the Ashlin parents are just being respectful. They could be. >> We
078don't need respect. We need cheering. >> Good cheering. It can be respectful cheering. >> Yeah. We don't have a lot of not a lot of students here. The students is usually with who makes all the noise. >> They're very loud. Yeah. Absolutely. >> Okay. So, it's an interesting setup here. They're trying to get Lyla free and they're double teaming. >> Taylor draws the foul. The good news in that is that she didn't score. >> Yeah. >> But Taylor is Taylor's the I don't know what the phrase is for it, but you got to watch her. She's the players can win the game for them. >> We focus too much on Laya and Taylor can win this game. >> That's a hard miss down by six again. Everybody's quiet. nails out one. >> The ref thought
079it was going to be a timeout automatically by the coach said no. >> Now they're playing keep away. They don't want to take a foul. They want the clock. >> Yeah. And there's the foul to stop the clock. So 17 seconds, five points. doable. >> Yeah. >> But Ashley gets to inbound now. >> So the tough part of this foul is it's not free throws. So >> this could happen back has to inbound. Get fouled. Inbound, get fouled. That gives um coach pulling a time up before the >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Turnover happens. thought he thought the clock was running out on inbound. >> And of course, the moment he does it, the ball gets inbounded. The way it always works like the other like the last time out with a three-point shot was hit.
080>> Exactly. Exactly. >> A millisecond after called a timeout. >> Yeah. I bet you the coach from the And we're talking about the previous game where uh to tie the game, player put up a three-point shot and the coach called the timeout just before. >> Uh I bet you the coach wishes he could take that timeout back. Jordan, is this doable? Five points with uh 20 something seconds left on the clock. >> I think it was Yeah, something around like that. But it's doable for Sharon, but they need to steal the ball on play. What's against him is that a jump ball goes to Ashley. So, uh, but also watching now during that timeout, Lea, uh, fouled out, but pulling one of the players on the court over, giving them encouragement, putting a hand around
081the shoulder. That's great teammate play. >> Yeah. >> So, this is an interesting setup. >> Alli looking for somebody to inbound the ball to. Oh, Ava has a football. stepped off unfortunately. >> So great job by Sharon there. >> Yes. I mean that was >> good defense. Tough pass. >> Exactly what they wanted to do. 15 seconds left. >> Now Ashlin also has to be careful not to follow on a shot. >> Lots of substitutions happening here. Players running out. Some of them not going to the desk. But >> only Yeah, there's only four players now. Oh no. >> No, they're five on. Sharon really pressing. >> Oh, and they threw the ball away. >> Oh, and then the ball was given back to Taylor. >> Oh, Taylor stepped up as she turns. >> Wow,
082that was quite the break for Ashley. >> Very much so. >> 7 seconds to go. This This is >> captain doing her job asking exactly what happened >> now. This full court press. Can they get the ball in? out of there by herself. No, just come over. >> Taylor steals the ball and puts it in. >> So clock is still running. >> Clock was running >> again. Clock problem. Last game we had the same thing where ball goes out of bounds and they don't >> I think this the refs let it happen. >> Did that's going to be it? >> That's the game. Yeah, that's un, you know, Ashley probably would have won anyway, but it's unfortunate that uh >> and you know, because we're in Ashland now with their channel players are going to
083say, "Hey, Ashlin did that." >> Uh, but yeah, they inbounded the ball pretty quickly and I don't think they were going to get the foul off before the 3 seconds. So, well done to Ashland. Uh, crowd is a little stunned actually, little quiet. It is at the end there. >> But that means Ashland are the clocker classic champions >> well done Ash coach is celebrating. >> Yeah, very well done. I mean I mean what a great game by both teams but I mean kudos to Ashlin for pulling away with it. >> That was a very hardfought win. >> Absolutely. I mean I I think player of the game Lea defensive offensive rebounds. Uh uh you got Niko with the great dribbling. MVP though. Ava kept it going, kept the shots going, aggressive play uh all
084around for Sharon. I mean, you got to give it to Laya. She did everything. Kept a team in the game. Then Taylor at the end making the plays heard. >> Really well done. >> Really stepped up. But I mean it was wonderful watching the Ashlin girls. I mean they really came together as a team. I mean everybody in the team. and you called out a couple players, but I think it was such a team effort. >> Team effort all the way around. Now they're getting straight to the prize giving. Uh and uh so we'll pass it over to them. >> Yeah, with that I think Dory and I will will sign off here. Um Ashlin, the girls uh 2025 Ashlin Holidays Classic Champion. Uh congratulations to Ashlin. Congratulations to Sharon for a very well fought
085game coming in second place. We'll take a break now and we'll be back at 4:15 for the start of the boys final. Ashlin versus Malboro. Thanks.
