001Good size. >> There he goes. There he goes. >> Tied up called yesterday. >> [cheering] >> Jason picks it up. Three-point shot. Good rebound. Another offensive rebound. >> Looks like cut up and then rebounding. >> Kaden goes to the line for Keith Tuck. >> There's the first one. It's >> a little similar to the last game where we saw um Weston had a huge size difference over Nick and Nmuck had a lot of speed and was able to put the game away. >> Nice rebound and recovery there. >> Number three. Ball's kicked out. Three-point no good. Ball's out of bounds. Main ball. >> Substitutions made 21. They certainly do move the ball a lot. They're going to be moving the ball getting 24. Nice. Good shot. haven't been able to let anything drop yet. Jumped
002out to a six-point lead there. >> Good fake and drive to the hoop, but short. Kicked out. Able to recover. >> Another shot short. Unfortunately, a lot of good opportunities. Just ball's not grinding for them yet. >> Warm up. There's a great three-pointer, but number three. >> Again, bank shot that time for the drive. Good ball up. But >> what speed coming up the court? They have a number one. gets a layup though. >> Yeah, from coast to coast but not hitting. >> Good feed. >> Nice feed inside. >> Keep slowing slowing the play down a little bit. >> Ball right into the middle up and no good. And a little covered back. foul there on the layup. >> I'm sure would have preferred that to go in than miss but you know there's a
003little unknown uh history behind the hoops here. Little magnetic rings around them and they reject the ball sometimes. At least that's how the fans feel. Hopefully we can change it here with the free throw. >> Yeah, good job by Jason there to kind of slow play that layup to draw the foul. hits his first free throw. on the board. Substitution there. 15 off 33 on Jason. Second shot nails it. That's great shooting. >> And having just found his rhythm, he gets off. >> Let's see how can the rebounding. the ball. Trying to get the ball inside. They get inside to the big man. Then get tied up. >> Caught a jump ball. See who the ball goes to. [snorts] >> It's going to go back to good defense by himself getting that ball turned over.
004Jason bringing the ball in. Turn around. >> Shay looking for something. Getting tied up back there. Nice pass underneath by Shay to Zeff. >> Ze nails the layup. >> Some good movement. Might be might not be apparent in Wester, but the communication on the court is pretty active. Players are talking, moving, coming across pretty well. Another rebound. Unfortunately forced to answer. >> Good defense there actually not able to hit the layup. Great hustle by 21 on the shot. Came back to defend. Keith looks to reset. Justice Justice certainly looks like the one coordinating the communication in the plays here getting double teamed. Splits the defense almost the layup. >> Quick move there to the inside. Oh, long pass. >> Good breakaway. Nice >> nice move. Nice layup by Ze. >> Keep doing a good job
005moving the bar around. Nice to the inside and oh [cheering] just rolled off. >> Amster is going to have to come up with an answer to these three bigs. They're pretty much dominating the paint. [cheering] Keeping the ball 23 gets his eye. They're going to score a lot of points. Yeah, Kaitlin has a clear height advantage here on the inside. >> Another offensive rebound. >> Dumps underneath it. Oh, gets his own rebound. Gets his third rebound. Kicks it [cheering] out. Fourth rebound. Oh, >> see got called for over the top there >> on that rebound. >> I don't know. I kind of five offensive rebounds in that kind of play. That's going to be a challenge for him. Only a three-point difference though given all that. >> Yeah, >> Keith in there just not able
006to hit some of the shots that um were getting in close. [cheering] >> Shay nails a three-pointer. >> Tie the game up. One minute left to go here in the quarter. Oh, blocking that pass. >> The ball to Danelo and Neil. That ball's able to a couple of rotations around the rim but able to get in there. >> Pass across. >> [cheering] >> Great steal >> steal by Dano on the foul >> and he's able to hit the layup. >> Great defense there on him too, but he was able to get up and hit that shot. [cheering] >> Ralph sends it over to >> Drew and Drew just shot. Long shot. >> In the last uh minute here of the game, Keith Tech was able to put up a couple of baskets to go from
007a 99 tie to a 13-9 game. >> Yeah, I mean the ball movement on both sides looking pretty good. Struggling to get the ball in, had some good shots. You mentioned fell short a couple of times. Uh and then the speed on the return looks like a much faster team. also get so far in the game and maybe this change as they warm up a little bit, but um a lot of these shots they're getting inside, maybe they're rushing a little bit and they're not >> they're not hitting in there. Like you said, you know, they have the clear height advantage on offensive and defensive rebounds. >> So is going to have to use their speed. >> Absolutely. You know, one of the challenges when you the taller player on the court is you tend
008to play down to the level of the players instead of playing at your height. If Keith Tech realizes how tall they are, they're pretty much going to keep the ball out of hand. So, have to see what can do in response to that. >> So far, a good game and a close game. We're only uh through the first quarter. As we said, later on we'll have a couple of games coming up here on WACA at um 2:30, the girls final for the Ashlin Beach Class versus Sharon. Then at 4:15, uh we'll have the boys game, Ashlin versus Malbor. Pretty good. Ashley made the finals in both. It's a turnaround from last year when the boys won an lost a nailbiter in con uh in the first round and had to play off in conservation. So
009how the girls do last year? Do you remember? >> I don't remember. I don't know how they did but we'll find that out. We will hand off to Justice here bringing it down. number one directing the play. >> Nice quick pass in the middle to Danello, but >> Oh, he gets the foul. That's the foul. Almost look clean on the Drew L block there, but yeah, I think he got a little bit of body. >> Foul was on 33. Second shot coming up here does a little bit of substitution. >> I think it's going to come down to number 12 and 15 for AMSA where they drill and Raphael can uh out muscle their way in the basket. Let's see who gets his rebound. Oh, good fight. Good fight. >> Wow. Keith comes away with
010it. Able to get that rebound. [cheering] >> Out of bounce off Keith Tech Shay in there trying to move the ball around, but blanket on. Yeah. >> Well, let's see George Fam can begin to use some of their speed here. Start tiring out these uh lanky defenders. Well, with the ball trying to drive the lane there. Does a nice spin move. >> Getting mauled. [laughter] >> Absolutely mauled onto the basket looking for fouls. It seems like maybe for boys basketball the refs were a little bit slower in calling fouls. >> Could be. >> Or maybe it was just the crew. >> It's the crew. Yeah. I mean, each game has a different crew, so not too sure. But let's see number 12. >> Drew Eller the line. >> This is the first trying to make
011this a three-point game here. He nails it. Nice shot. Nice shot. Brings it down to three-point difference all the way over the corner. They're trying to feel. So, they made a change. MC made a change in their uh setup. Number 12 was playing up uh in the one and two position has now dropped down to four position. putting some more muscle and height down at the basket. >> Great defense. >> Shutting down number three. >> Yeah, not giving any space there for shooting. >> Wide open. Oh, >> nice give and go. >> Number 12. No, he just he missed that defensively. told you had a good job that pass >> and that little uh pass to hoop layup. >> Hamster during warm up practices that the whole time. >> Yeah. >> So that's kind of
012their go-to play on the drive. >> Very effective for them. >> Yeah. Ralph nailed it that time. >> A three-point shot. >> Great rebound. >> Look at that speed coming down the court. Oh, great shot number four, >> Jason. >> Yeah, Jason pulled up short a little bit to ar that ball up knowing the defender was had a big height advantage >> just like that one good uh defensive rotation. They were able to get up over everybody. Oh, just drew the foul. Unlucky. But look at that. One good defensive defensive rotation. stop and we one game one point game difference. >> Yeah, it's amazing. >> They're dealing with the line again. >> The uh Pink Yeezys, >> man. I don't know anything about sneakers. You can tell the sneaker brand from [laughter] here. That's impressive.
013>> I could be wrong. >> Well, I'm sure the sneaker heads will tell us. Yes, exactly. Feel free to comment and let us know, right? They do look pretty good. >> They do. >> Look at that step through. That's number 24, Stan. Nice move by Stan. One-on-one. He's going to be very hard to stop. Uh against Ashlin yesterday, he was taking on three Ash players and getting a foul, getting through. got a hot stick of about 12 points in the third quarter. >> Another defensive rebound for Amster. They begin to come back on the boards. Great screen. Easy shot for Jason. >> Amster takes the lead. Hampton the lead now. 1817. Nice great little comeback there. >> Yeah, we probably have some score lead changes a number of times in this game. Ball kick back
014out. >> Drives the lane and great play Justice taking on the defender pushing through the the block. A couple of fakes and went up and nailed it. >> Nice give and go. >> Oh, great block by 23. >> Three-pointer. Oh, great rebound. Another effort number 21 out musling number 23 and the foul on number 23 uh Kaden for Keith Tech. Nice drive there by Jason who drew the foul l from number 21 really playing with a couple of extra inches and he has good play tie it up here with this free throw. 425 left to go in the second quarter. All tied up is pushing it up the court to Isaiah. Unfortunate turnover there. Pass just a little high and comes back now. Score tied. >> Stan brings it up over to Shay. Shay up
015with the shot but it's blocked >> once again. Lua with the rebound. >> Nice job by moving the ball around. Yeah, quick hands like on the rebounds. They don't have the hype, but they're poking at everything. >> They are. They're fighting, bumping, pushing their way in. >> What are we going to get called here? Going to >> uh Yeah, jump ball. I think it's game has a quick sub back in the game. [cheering] >> Stan inbounding standing over the hoop. It's a great shot that three-point that was close to the line. Great shot there by Shay banked in the three. >> Hson's got a great set play like that. They get that three-point up very quickly, score off it often. >> Nice give and go into the draw. >> There's Isaiah. >> Another three by
016Sheay. >> Two in a row. >> Cause a timeout by Keith Tech. So, they're going to cool him down a little. That was a great drive by Zenia uh on that given go for Keith Tech driving in taking on two defenders scoring the easy layup >> kind of nullified by the three points afterwards. [laughter] >> Well, at that time out is pulling away a little 2521. They've weathered the storm of the bigs and are now scoring some more points. Yeah, we have a nice tight game here. This is what we want to see. You know, good competitive games. >> Watching those runaways don't really help anybody. >> Absolutely. Well, it's nice to be uh on the Wacker broadcast here. That is apparently a national broadcast. Now, we've got West Coast watchers, Midwest watchers, we've got
017people watching on the East Coast, >> International. I'm sure you've uh talked to probably some friends in South Africa about watching the game later. >> Oh well, we were going to run a competition later. Guess the accent, but yes, it's from South [laughter] Africa. >> You know, basketball not that huge in South Africa, but uh I had my time. I coached a little bit of high school girls and >> it's always fun. Nowhere near at the expertise of the high schools here though. The high schools here are playing incredibly the movement, the ball skills. >> South Africa, you excelled in other sports. >> There were other sports here >> like rugby. >> Uh rugby. Uh legalized mugging is what I some people [laughter] call it. >> Oh, we're back in here. Number 24, Stan. Moving
018the ball around. >> Oh, what a great feed and a give and go. Feed in the middle. Drew L. >> Oh, what a great shot. >> That was some excellent basketball play there. Some dribbles around and now themselves to a six-point lead. >> I think Keith Tech needs to come up with some answers here. >> The X play doesn't seem to be working for them. Justice Isaiah. Isaiah with a three and short with that one. Lu with that offensive rebound. >> Oh, and unfortunately a travel on the dribble up inbound the ball away back line. Little over two minutes here to go in the first half. get the ball into the middle and quick hands by Amson not allowing that pass to come in. >> Yeah, Drew uh is defending like like a monster. He
019is moving around, cutting off passes. >> Eyes and hands everywhere. >> Adjust this to adjust this. moving the ball around looking for an opening somewhere. >> They have nothing. Look at this. Look at this defense by him. So, they are causing a lot of >> tough shot from from way down. Rebounded by number 15. Quick pass. What a shoot pass. That was a great pass. What a great turnover by uh great job by Drew to avoid two different defenders there. Get that layup. Now they'll go up eight points. >> [cheering] >> Z on the three. >> Another tough tough three-point shot. Ma coming away again. >> Stan. >> Oh, didn't fall that time. Shay was >> That's his first miss, I think, as a three-pointer. >> Yep. >> Close though. I mean, it was inside
020the rim area. Just maybe an inch off. Now Stan will inbound for AMSA. Sends a safety pass in. [cheering] >> Oh, Stan on the three. No. >> Hello. Reaching foul there. Another foul on 33. I don't think either team will make it to the shooting foul. Not in this half and this half. Number one justice has been on pretty much the whole half the ball up Jeremy looking for some looked like the corner motion setting up that three shot. >> Oh yeah, >> it just won't fall for Keith Tech. And then the fast break away. >> Another fast break. Oh, and he rebounded his own shot. What? And the foul. My word. Number 15. >> Very good job there by Raph. Yeah, just to recover his own foul, wait for the other defenders to go
021up and jump into it to draw the foul. >> You know, I think coaches would be happy with a player who puts in that much effort all the time. >> Yeah. >> He hits the first >> stretches that to a nine-point lead. makes a couple subs with >> 25 seconds left here. >> It'll be like a one play. Uh >> keep just tries to come down and puts put a couple points on the board. >> Nice little roll for him. Drops in. >> Second one drops for a 10-point difference. >> Fullourt press here. >> Nice pass underneath. Oh, pass but recovered by >> Justice. Justice. They got 10 seconds left. >> Picked it out to Justice. Justice driving the lane. Steps into a three-point shot to get a foul, but doesn't get it. >> Doesn't
022get the foul, but they get the points. >> The other one gets the rebound and just drops it right in. >> Yeah. That was um I mean, from our perspective, He got banged on that three point >> and he was waiting for the foul, didn't get it. But as you said, they got the two, you know, >> they got the two points. >> Got the two points anyway. >> Well, kudos to Keith Tech for for not stopping. Sometimes players when they see a foul stop and start complaining to if they kept playing, kept playing through it. Uh and so they went to the half with an eight-point deficit rather than 10 points, which is uh >> probably not where they expected to be after the first quarter, >> right? Eight points though in uh is
023really nothing. >> Yeah, it's not not a lot to do. Uhhuh. I think Keith Tech has some converation they need to have during halftime. The play doesn't seem to be working for them. AMS has responded well and has kept their bigs out. So, they're going to have to find another answer to that and AMSA speed is definitely making a difference here. >> Yeah, AMSA's uh fullcourt press is pretty effective. uh a lot. Ashlin notoriously struggles against the fullourt press, but uh they had an answer to it yesterday and uh scored something like 12 14 points off the full court press in the game. >> Uh but Amster kept at it. They're just very good at defending the whole court. So we'll see what happens in the second half. >> We will. So, with that, we'll
024um take a quick break here after the the first half of AMSA versus Keefe Tech and the 2025 Ashlin Holiday Hoops Classic here on WACA TV. We'll see you back shortly. Hey, good. Hold on. show you guys. >> [music] >> forward. over and over. All right, I have Here we go. It's not every game. They're waiting for you to say that. Welcome back everybody to the 2025 Ashlin Holiday Boops Classic Boys Constellation game. AMSA taking on Tech. Um AMSA jumped out to a lead at the end of the half. They're up 20 31 to 23. I'm Dick Stubin. I'm joined here by basketball afficionado Dorian Vatas. That means I know a little bit more than you. I don't know. [laughter] >> I don't even know if that's true. >> Is that what a fishado means?
025>> I don't know. Have a good accent. >> Looks like did their number in the first stand didn't do much, but uh somebody number 12 shooting right now. He's had a great defensively. >> Nice pass inside. Not able to >> rebound. >> Three-pointer. >> Nails it again. an interesting shooting especially faced They tried to cut sneak peel out underneath but just got a little bit too far in front of him. >> Okay, for you folks listening here on WAC um you know feel free to send us a chat. Let us know who you are from the chat function. You want to say hi Oh, nice. >> I just don't know how that ball. What a great rebound by feeding it to the pass stand on the outside. Sends it across to the three. Jason believe
026him a little bit. Got that top [cheering] >> just short. Nice shot there by needs a nail one. Need to see Chief Tech doing more right away from our perspective. Obviously, we can't see the rest. should be certainly trying a little bit stronger. He rises up above everybody talking about their players to break through this defensive wall that I hope they don't take off the dimminative She's smaller by size but bigger by >> I think number 12 number 15 Raphael just get some of these balls to keepers press a lot of hands all over that play stands like [cheering] nice pass to Good shot. >> By himself underhand. >> What a finger roll in. >> Finger roll in. That was a beautiful play. >> The top scorer that up. And gets his own rebound and
027a and he gets the play throwing the ball off. perspective play by makes a substitution taking off Jason. Bring on Shay behind that cross layup. Behind the hoop, what do you call that? A reverse layup. >> Reverse layer. Reverse layup. again. It's a great move between [cheering] good shots. Top of the key. certainly I'd have to keep shooting threes count% up there justice. Jason. >> Oh, a quick gets the ball kicked back out again to Jackson. >> And the ball gets knocked away. >> Oh, and a stealing back. >> Justice with that steel. >> Nice quick Justice to get back to that ball. Get the two points. >> Here's Ma Speed now. Quick handoff to Lua for the three. >> Almost got his own free throw rebound again, but uh >> Chief will inbound out.
028Time out by a timeout. >> We have 213 left here in the third quarter. >> No fouls by either team, which is >> Well, I mean, the refs are letting them play and they're playing pretty pretty cleanly, so it makes for a quick quarter, >> right? Yeah. Nothing too blatant. is up by nine. >> Both teams are, you know, are uh being very aggressive. Yeah. >> Uh both on offense and defense. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. You can see the toll on the AMSA bench. Number 11 and uh See with his hands up, breathing heavily. Uh maybe somebody should block uh Keith Tech from seeing that so that they don't spot the tired players. >> Yeah, Drew as well is doing a good job on the inside. I know certainly that's something you're always looking for as
029a player when you start getting into the later games. You start looking for who's breathing heavily, who's got hands on hips, who's putting their hands on the head. Uh because that's a player you want to go at. That's a player you want to work with. >> Unless you're really smart and you fake it. >> Well, players can do [laughter] that. Uh >> playing playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. >> Yeah. Well, we'll see if doing [laughter] that, right? So, >> yeah. I don't know if that's uh we're going to that trickery yet. Well, looks like uh only one starter on for AMSA right now, Stanell. All the others are from the bench. >> So, giving his starters a rest. >> Yeah, important to have a deep bench in these grueling games. >> Absolutely.
030>> Just I think Justice has been on the floor for >> I I don't think he sat down yet. >> No. >> Oh. missed dribble there by Jace unfortunately >> happens. >> Yeah, basketball uh what the average person doesn't realize is you don't watch your dribble. You got to watch the court. You got to watch the players moving. Got to have eyes everywhere. And so it's very easy to dribble off your feets on occasion. >> Ball marked away. >> Uh ref said it was back court so they didn't see a touch. to see that Keef actually knocked that ball away. So, it actually was a brief change of possession, but I'm sure Ke's not going to tell them that. >> I doubt they'll own up to that. >> Justin bring the ball up. [cheering] >>
031What a great overhand pass. >> Just couldn't finish. Yeah, good. The give and go is the uh ultimate play in basketball and it just works all the time. >> It does. It looks good. Sets up a lot of easy layups, uh, dunks, which I know a couple of players in Ashland are hoping to do in the championship game. >> Really? Can you name one? >> Well, I I name I can name a couple actually, but uh hits the uh hits the free throw, brings it down to an eight-point difference. Yeah. Well, with that, Amster takes off number 33. Brings in uh Drew, their their defender of the game so far. Kind of slow that scoring down. >> Nice hit. >> Yeah, I feel like this game could go any way at any moment. >> It
032can. These teams are just >> Yeah. In response, Keith Tech brings on their number 23. >> Keep going keep going to the fullcourt press here, hoping to make, you know, looking for a turnover and make something happen. Risky inbound all the way into half court. >> Oh, and >> Justice is just too quick. He doesn't Oh, >> how that wasn't a foul, I don't know. But, uh, you said the refs are letting him play. >> Yeah. Okay. Maybe they're being Oh. >> Uh, that looked so smooth and clean shot there by Jackson. >> That was an impressive shot. Is that three? That was a three on the fadeaway. Oh my word. Three times round. That was Lu with the two-pointer. So seven-point differential. Keith ticks. Uh I'm beginning to feel a little bit of energy
033from there. >> Yeah. >> Feels like they're coming back >> again with the three-pointer. >> Jackson just >> just off this time. >> But look at that >> nice rebound and pass underneath. Very good rebounding with uh three players over six feet. It's going to make all the difference. >> Yeah. And Isaiah nails it from right under the basket. >> Five-point game with 27 seconds with just >> Oh, that's a great little turn around. >> I believe that was a block by >> Can you have a jump ball with the same team? I don't know. No, there was an answer play in there. >> Chief Tech Keith Tech now down by five. Probably got to slow it down. for one final score to end the third quarter. >> Little bit of a discussion by the
034refs as to >> as to who gets the ball. Uh so turnover on the play there. It was actually white ball on the jump ball. >> Yep. >> It's going to be an ball involved in. >> Look at that move. Wow. That was a clean clean uh >> beautiful inbound pass to Drew L who just [cheering] think he nice little jumper. He took the pass and midair shot it in. >> Uh that was a was a quick three thrown up right at the buzzer but was very short. >> Now we end it with a seven-point differential. AMSA 43, keep tech 36. Yeah, we got a fourth quarter coming. Just in all fairness to I just want to say for AMSA play number 21. I don't know if his name is pronounced Lu or you would
035say Lu. Yeah. So Lu, >> but whatever it we apologize that we didn't get the pronunciation right, but um >> we we do want to call you out for all the good shots and all the good defense. Regardless of how we pronounce your name, your play is beyond pronunciation. It is excellent. It is brilliant. >> That's that's a good recovery for our mistake. [laughter] >> I'll blame it on my accent. >> Right. That's that's the way they say it in South Africa, right? >> I will say if you're in Ashland watching on Wacka, uh do yourself a favor. Make a plan for dinner by coming on down to our concessions. Grab some food there. sign up for the raffle and come and watch the championship games. Ashland's in both championship games, women and uh and
036men, the girls and boys. Come and support them. Uh we had a huge crowd here last night for the Ashlin game. Almost almost full stands. Uh lots of cheering, lots of conversation. Uh it's a great night out. Great way to spend a holiday week. >> So come on down. >> I expect we'll see uh a big student turnout here. >> Hopefully that'll be wonderful if we do. Yeah, I can't imagine that that wouldn't have for championship game for both the boys and the girls. >> Absolutely. >> Um, Ashlin Ashlin students do a fantastic job of supporting their sports teams, I have to say. >> All right, fourth quarter. Keith Tech with the ball, moving it around. >> Good feed. Nice feed underneath. Kayen just missed that layup. Yeah, Jackson just not able to hit. Oh,
037travel. >> Yeah, unfortunately went to his knee in that dribble. >> That's an easy travel call. [sighs] Even though Shay disagrees, although, have you ever seen a player agree with the ref's call? >> Very subtle. >> Every now and then you'll see a player pointing to themselves. Yeah, I did it. Yeah, what am I going to do? >> But for the most part, no. Keith moving the ball around looking for an opening >> middle. Swing it outside. Swing it over >> to Justice. >> Nice drive up the middle and it shots. >> I think for Keith Tech as much as they can get into the paint, >> take those shots as and they should be doing that. They should be trying for that every play. >> They clearly have the advantage. That's a dangerous pass
038with Justice anywhere near. He's so fast. Uh clearly uh the player who is turning up the pace for Keith Tech. >> Five-point differential here with uh but seven minutes left to go. >> Oh, Shay didn't see that in inbound ball. >> Good heads up. Yeah, good heads up play by Keith. >> There's that drive again and a step through. [laughter] >> Almost got it, but they call him for a travel. >> They did. That was a beautiful looking play. He he faked up, went down low below everybody and came up on the other side. >> Unfortunately, yeah, you could take some extra steps. Uh >> it makes it easy, >> right? >> Well, and uh in NBA that will happen all the time, not get called. >> Absolutely. >> But we got tighter rules at
039high school basketball than NBA. So, >> true. >> Uh looks like the pace is getting to Amsterdam. Easy turnover with the inbound. Bad pass went out. So Keith Tech has an opportunity to cut this down to three or maybe even two-point lead. >> Every play, every pass, everything matters now with just under seven minutes left to go. >> Trying to force it passing, >> but Danilo did fight for the ball. Got it back and again to Denil. Now he's going to try to muscle his way and step through. Danilo nice moves. Danilo has a great center pace. Nice and speed. Danilla was back there for the stop. >> Oh, >> that is great defense by Keith Tech to hustle back. Uh AMSA looking a little bit out of sorts right now. Uh >> yeah, now
040we're we're a three-point game. >> Three-point game. Four timeouts there for each. Depending on how this rotation goes, AMSA might need to call a timeout. Cross to Justice who goes up. >> Oh, he thought he had that. >> There's the rebounding though. >> Good rebound by Amsa. >> That's what had them scoring more points in the second quarter. Time out now. >> Time out. >> He's got to kind of re rethink and regroup as we come into the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. I mean, really can go either way. >> Absolutely. >> With a three-point differential. I mean, we need they needed that timer. That was a good call by that coach to just reset, slow the play down, allow his players to rethink and regroup. And uh looks like uh one of
041the women's teams is here ready and supporting the the boys constellation game, which is just awesome to see. >> Yeah. Yeah. We'll have at um at 2:30 today, we'll have the girls championship game where the Ashlin Clockers take on the Sharon Eagles, I think. >> I think so. Um, so that's going to be an exciting game. >> Make sure to tune in for that. And then at 4:15 again, we have um Ashlin versus Malbor for the boys finals, >> which should be Did you see Malboro play? >> I did. I saw the end of their game. That's the game that went to overtime. >> And Malbor uh was on defense. Keith Tech had the a three-point shot to win. Just bounced out, went to overtime, and Malro pulled away with four points. >> Wow. >>
042Uh it was hotly contested. Uh, all the parents felt their team should have won. [laughter] >> All right, just under six minutes to go here. >> AMS up by three over Keith Tech and AMSA will inbound. One possession game. This is a a very important inbound. >> Keith Tech fighting. Nice job cross. Oh, >> rough shot by Lua. Yeah, it was a jump turn shot that's very hard to make. >> Three-pointer. >> Oh, what a great Swiss shot by >> by Jackson. >> Yeah, nice job there by Jackson. >> We have a tied game here. >> Moving the ball around. >> Great play. >> Nice drive up the middle and the foul. >> Foul. Oh, looked like he stole the ball. I don't know who the foul was on going to the foul on five.
043It was Raph driving the ball up the middle and >> Jeremy got a little bit of the arm in the ball. His hand hit there. So, >> he hits the first one. >> Both teams still low and and foul. So, I don't think we're going to be into a shooting foul. uh territory. >> Yeah, I don't think so. >> Unless things start to get out of hand here. >> Hits one of the two. >> AMSA now up by one. [cheering] >> Well, some Ams has to stop this shot. >> Oh, gets the rebound on Den but just can't get it to drop. Denilo is going to regret that shot. It is, which has kind of been the Keith Tech problem where they they've got a lot of shots from underneath and just can't get the
044ball get them in. >> I'm sure when the coach looks back on tape, they'll work on that in the next practice. >> Yes, >> the the Clocker Classic is a great tournament to set up for your uh your season post Christmas. So, great opportunity for them. >> Dorian, do you know I know the answer in hockey, but um for these games follow, for these games, do these count towards their, you know, MIA standings or does this happen kind of at a separate little >> That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. You know what? We'll find that out. I'll go ask Coach Norman afterwards. >> We'll find out. I know. I asked that. You know, the hockey just had a tournament the last few days and we do know that the scores
045come. >> They count. Even though you're playing people out of your division and and so forth, you know, they they make games count. >> Oh, a rough play by Stan, he just couldn't get there. He's had a quiet game, but uh teammates have stepped up for him in this game. >> Justice. Oh, they left. >> Oh, now Justice open for the three. >> Justice hits the three. >> Justice with the three. [cheering] fist in the air looking up and the steel. >> Steel coming out. He's he Oh, tries to go up with a shot to draw the foul, but the refs don't call it in the middle and he scores. >> That's a five-point uh turnaround right there with him. The last get >> foul now by Justice >> on that, but Justice was all
046over there. Got the five points for his team. Puts him ahead by four as you said. really >> not inbounding. >> Yeah, >> you know, both team Keith Tech has one more follow to give. AMS has four follows to give >> before they get into >> bonus. Oh, >> another steal by Keith Tech. leaving thinking about it >> out underneath again, but >> it's a good feed. They're trying to feed Danillo. He's got the easy layups. >> Yeah, good kick away by Drew Ell there to get prevent that easy layup. >> The Chief will inbound. Has to send it really deep. [cheering] Justice Fakes drives the lane, kicks it back out. Jackson couldn't nail the shot. >> Number four, Jason with the defensive rebound. >> Pushes the ball up. >> Drew bring it up. Jerel
047over in the corner. Goes into the paint. Jump shot. >> Yeah, got a hand on that. >> Needs to reset. Stand goes a little bit too high on that. >> Oh, >> DR is going to get called for a foul. I mean, good aggressive play trying to stop the pass, but >> just looked like their feet got tangled up there. >> Yeah, >> nothing play or intentional about it. Just heads up aggressive play. >> Kef up by four. [cheering] >> Time out by Ke. Yeah, in the middle of the play, Keef coach called a timeout. >> Kef Keef Tech kids were uh a little shocked at what the buzzer was for until they realized their coach called a timeout. >> Yeah. >> But again, I you know, coming down to the last uh >> few
048minutes of the game, I'm sure we'll have a few timeouts here as both coaches adjust. >> Well, you know what it's like. The last two minutes of basketball is about as long as the first three quarters. So >> yeah, >> especially in a tight game like this, >> especially you know the last 30 seconds when you get down if there's a couple of points and you get all the fouls and >> absolutely >> well the intentional fouls I mean you know thrown in there could drag out forever. Give Tech certainly has a lot of fouls to give and there's this uh uh I don't know how new it is, but certainly recent experience that sometimes the team that's in the lead is is intentionally fouling and forcing teams to go to the free throw line
049so they don't get the three-point shots off. Uh but Keith Tech's way off for that right now. They've got four fouls uh to give before three fouls to give before they get into bonus time. So I don't think you'll see them doing that. All right, just over three minutes in this Ke Tech versus AMSA matchup. Keith Tech with a four-point lead. They're trailing really long game and now they've turned it around for a lead. [cheering] >> Unlucky. >> Yeah. >> Reaching for the ball. Caught the glasses. >> Yeah. Blow to the head. unintentional but right >> but but it is a foul >> there's no concussion protocols [laughter] >> I don't think so >> justice to Jackson back to Justice looking to drive the lane couple of good moves goes up >> and Danilla with
050the rebound again >> man he's everywhere on the rebounds >> he really is attacking that room I mean he he missed a layup but got himself back out. Got his own rebound and >> great pass. Oh, >> unfortunate. >> Good recovery there. >> Danilla with a three shot and a off the bank. >> That's going to keep them in the game. Danilla breathing a sigh of relief with that throw up there. >> Good job there by Drove. I don't know if the coach called a timeout before he hit that shot. Did they not give it to him? I'm not I I'm not sure as I saw him like, you know, he kind of put his head down like he was upset about something after he hit a three-point shot. >> Yeah. >> I think the
051coach may have called a timeout. >> Well, then he really will be upset because that would have tied the game, >> right? >> So, that's uh that explains why there was a lot of uh activity and uh uh chatting after the whistle by Keith Tech on that three point. That was a great uh great job by Jerel. >> Hence is ready. Tech is ready. So Keith Tech will inbound the ball. 225 left to go. Keith Tech up by three. It is very hard for Amster to court press with these tall players, but they get the turnover. >> And as soon as you say that, they they achieve the turnover. >> That's it. Drew Drew, I'll bring it up. Pass it off to to Stan. >> Stan. Oh, >> three points. There it is. >> Nailed
052by Jason. >> Another fullcourt press again. And the steal by Jason. >> Still. >> Oh, he just misses the layup. That would have been such a it was a beautiful steal. >> Tom act now by Keith. [applause] Keefe, you know, brilliant play there by the coach. Keith player had the ball over on the sideline. Was it going to fall out of bounds and the Keith Tech coach called the timeout? >> Absolutely. You know, great fast thinking so they, you know, maintain possession of the ball, especially at a tie game here. tie game potential for overtime. It's a great way to have a consolation game, right? >> It's a very good very evenly matched. This is this is really is an exciting game. You know, the uh Ashlin players were having a a team dinner on
053Sunday night and coach Long was saying all these teams are pretty evenly matched and uh uh feels that it's a good tournament for Ashlin to players to be in especially in a tough TVL league where there's some really good teams. >> Uh both for both the girls and the boys Ashland team building up some confidence going back into the season. uh getting a winning mentality. That's all part of the off the court stuff that you need. >> Definitely. And the more they get to play just the better it is for everybody. So to throw these tournaments in to provide everybody another couple of games, have them look at some different, you know, maybe some teams they wouldn't face during the region. >> Absolutely. >> Under two minutes to go here. >> Tie score. >> Potentially
054three or four more possessions. Every pass, every every shot is going to count here. see >> Jason back there to know that given goal play to underneath. [cheering] >> It's just >> that's just a beautiful play for Keith Tech. >> Drew bring it up. Oh, he got stalled there on the >> over to Stan. Stan can move the ball anywhere on the court he wants. >> Nice little >> nice feed in. >> Oh, blocked by Jason. >> Clean blocks there underneath by Keith Tech >> by Jackson. Sorry, not Jason. Justice coming forward now. Speed play. >> They're in the lead. He's going to run out the clock a little here. Slowing it down. [cheering] Back to Justice. Justice driving able to draw the foul. getting him kind of tight there underneath, but he got himself
055in a good position to draw the foul on a really tough shoes. He was a little bit too far underneath even hit the shot, but drawing the foul just in the two shots. Well, whenever Justice gets in the paint, it's like he has three legs. He's stepping so fast. He's all over the place. It's very hard not to foul him. >> That puts him three points up. So, this is a key play here. Key shot puts him four points up. Oh. >> Oh. Rooms. I don't know. >> Amson comes away. Now they'll push up with some speed. >> Three. >> Oh, >> Keith able to recover. >> Shot by >> four four second differential on the shot clock. So, >> blue ball. Drew thinks that call should have gone the other way. >> So, now
056there's still the 4second differential. [cheering] Amster can still tie this game if they can stop the shot. He will slow this down. Seems intentionally fouling. Yeah, >> foul on three. That's the right play here at the end of the game. >> So they got one foul left to give >> or no fouls left to give. Sorry. >> So they go to the line now. Not too sure justice is the right person to foul in that situation, but he had the ball. So >> exactly. >> So just put them with five points here. coach having an unofficial timeout during the uh shooting. >> Yeah, >> it's the first one. >> Justice goes back to get fives from himself >> from his his invisible teammates. >> His invisible teammates. >> Oh, he just uh can't get that
057second shot in. >> So, four point difference and has got to get a three-point play and a turnover. >> Do anything deep. You just need to score. >> Got it in the right hands. Oh, just off. Nice rebound by Amsa. >> Fighting for the ball. >> 10 seconds. 10 seconds. >> Here we go. He's going to kick up the three again. >> And the timeout. >> Jason on the three-pointer. >> Keeping their hopes alive. That was great play by Jason. >> Two seconds to go. So, I imagine we'll see an inbound pass, a quick foul. >> I hope that, you know, Keith doesn't nail both of them. >> I mean, with two seconds left, >> it's tough tough call, right? You got to get to the foul as fast as you can. >> Yeah, this
058is almost an impossible situation for AMSA, >> but we've seen it happen before. >> Well, well, now's the time if uh there's parents watching, get out that video, start the recording, cuz that's where the YouTube channels come from. So, so >> last minute buzzer beatas. >> Yeah. Keith Tech will inbound. AMS will have to instantly foul to take, you know, virtually no time off the clock. >> Yep. >> Then Keith can go up to 56, which is only three points. Then AMSA will have to inbound the ball from half court and immediately throw up a three. >> That's everything goes that way. Yeah. >> Right. >> The best play for them though is not to let them inbound the ball. defend so well that the player can't pass the ball in and let it let
059the turnover happen without second. >> That would be ideal. >> But two seconds left. That's a tough call. Uh but Amster needs to get marked up here because number three is standing wide open. Nobody's near him and they're putting their shortest player on the tallest player. Quick foul. So 1.1 seconds on that play. Yeah, somehow I don't know why it seemed like more time came off the clock than should have. >> I think the time keeper hit play with the pass, not with the catch. So, >> yeah, >> but the refs uh >> hopefully the refs will correct that. I mean, it's kind of unfair to uh AMSA. >> It is. >> There we go. Yeah, they just put another half a second up on the clock. >> There you go. I don't I don't
060know how they decide when the uh how much half a second is, but uh >> let's see what >> crew's been doing well. >> See if Danelloo can Danella misses the forest, which is >> I wonder if that was an AMSA coach directive to make sure that their worst he in his view their worst three-point free throw shooter was going to get the ball on the inbound because they put their shortest play on him. >> Yeah. But now Keith just just needs two points to tie. >> Well, he gets that one. That makes it >> point. I don't know why the clock >> I don't know why. Why is the clock running? >> The clock should not have run on that. >> So, it should still be 1.4 seconds left, right? >> It still should
061be. Yeah. I mean, there should really shouldn't be any time taken off. >> Clearly a little >> Oh, they corrected it back. >> Yeah. >> Well, the refs are on top of it. They know what they're doing. >> They are. Yeah. Yeah, I think these scorekeepers are volunteers that maybe don't absolutely understand the game or played the game. >> So are the commentators >> hitting hitting hitting the wrong [laughter] buttons >> or also volunteers. So >> I think for the championship games, we'll have different folks that I think know the uh the game a little bit better >> potentially. Yeah. >> All right. So So it's coming in under the basket. So, it's got to be some sort of uh halfcourt pass with a quick turnaround with a shot. In this scenario, who on the
062Amster team would you want to see taking that shot? >> I mean, number four, Jason been on on fire. Drew's been shooting well. >> Well, Drew's been doing well. >> I'm not too sure Stan has the range >> with his high hooping shot, but uh >> you'll see he's clearly got a play. And they're coming back with some clear focus. >> Yeah, I don't think they have time for two passes. You know, if they inbound to one person, I don't think that person >> It's got to be a shot straight off the inbound. >> It's going to have to be to whomever. >> Keith Tech taking a timeout, waiting to see how they draw up their play. Now maybe AMSA faked where they were going to have their players knowing Chief Tech would call a
063timeout to stay one step ahead of them. >> That's really advanced play there. That's like uh beyond checkers. What's chess? What's beyond chess? >> 3D chess. Yeah. >> Whatever that is. Maybe it's the game you play. >> The game up. I doubt it's the game up. [laughter] But uh >> that takes a lot of uh intellect and strategy and >> Well, sure, but that's just because there's so many different things. going on with it. But here I I you know looking the way Keith Tech was set up, it looks like they were going to let them have the short pass which makes for a very long shot. >> We do have a message on the Wacka live chat from like Bryce Carpenter who's a Broncos fan. So ah >> we'll see we we'll see how
064it we'll see how this turns out. Yeah. >> All right, this is it. >> Yeah, they're definitely letting Drew have the ball on the easy pass down at the bottom. 1.4 seconds left on the clock. >> Oh, that's clever. They give it and it's up and it's Oh, [screaming] what a shot, ladies and gentlemen. That was such a shot >> off the backboard and just missed. >> That was Jason there. What a Wow. Got to be proud of that game. >> Uh that's a hard loss. I know. Uh coming second is hard. In this case, second in the constellation, but uh uh every single one of these teams uh playing in the in the classic could have made the finals. It was that close. >> It was that close. Keith Tech on in overtime. AMSA
065with a last minute shot there. Uh that was a great game. Great Holiday Classic. >> That was a great game. So with that, we'll we'll we'll uh end our broadcast here. We have uh Keith Tech just eking out AMSA for the 55 to 53 win. Uh my name is George Tubin. I'm here with Dorian Bots. Dorian, thank you. And um we'll be back again at 2:30 for the girls uh final game here at the two 2025 Ashlin Holiday Hoops Classic where Ashlin will take on Sharon. You don't want to miss that. >> It's going to be a great game. Uh see you then. >> See you then. >> Give me the pizza right now. >> Brought to you in part by Townhouse. Pizza subs, roast beef, and more. Be sure to fill up with the
