001East meow Spartans so we're just about 30 seconds in no score yet so starting for the Spartans tonight where we got Alli Thompson Ken Marino Jill Stevens Emma Goslin and Grace Molen BR into Jill Stevens on the inside just off Westfield gets the rebound they look to push the pace Ken Marino defending Clos out by gosin and mol BR looks like the Spartans are in a little bit of a man-to-man here oh good block by Thompson all right Emma goson takes it up out to Thompson to Marino good take by Marino but kicks it out shot by Marino just off the back of the rim but looks like it was last touched by Westfield so we'll have ISO ball under the hoop good cut by Jill Stevens shot is good so Spartans are on the

002board first we have one f one foul excuse me for the Spartans yeah we didn't catch that one but good press into good uh way to recover back by all the Spartans Defenders to force a turnover there skip to Goslin you have Westfield with I think it looks like a manto man press or a little Yeah couple people up there a couple people back kind of seeing what they can do into Jill Stevens again out to Marino out to Thompson into Westfield Defender just gets her hand in there but Ison meow gets it back to Thompson over to Molen BR in the corner shot just off a little [Music] bit good Hustle by Grace Molen BR there to get the ball back out to Goslin inside to Stevens once again and she's fouled I like

003how the sparin are kind of working it around the outside then getting it inside lot of movement on offense which is really good so early in the game especially like the patience I'm seeing so looking to bounce back from a lost to minog on on Tuesday on Tuesday night first shot by Stevens is just a little bit [Applause] off and looks like we have a little bit of confusion here all right and we're good that's one more shot for Stevens shot is good just look like the spars are doing like a 221 press little bit more of a confusion here oh oh it's mbre with a hair tie just kind of gives that gives that a fling good hands by Spartans so they'll stay in that press kind of Westfield gets it down the sideline

004and they'll look to set up their half court [Music] offense so I think we're sparts are still in their manto man so good good ball pressure good help side and they're going to call Travel good defense by white here I think that good on ball pressure is really turning into some turnovers for Westfield so hopefully the Spartans can keep that up and the Spartans break the Press pretty easily Grace Mullen takes it up good move there she's going to take a foul on the floor I think oh she's shooting always good when Molen Bry takes the line no one really expects her left hand so yeah the first shot just off the back of the rim got a sub for Westfield shots good so that makes it four to nothing Spartans just about three minutes

005into the game good pressure by Thompson Westfield again a couple Subs in seeing if they can change things up a little bit Westfield gets it into the corner but back to the middle and out of the opposite side Spartans get back though forc there by [Music] Marino that's idea looking for that one that was definitely the right idea with the bounce pass yeah Westfield Defender just got back quickly again good recovery by white here stopping those kind of easy layups up the floor I love to see the hustle back because even when they're getting beat on the Press you know they Western makes that one more pass inside and the spars are there to shut it down again spars break the Press with ease and Marino take another foul so that gives Westfield three fouls

006and Spartans W Marino's first shots a little bit off second shot is good though a little bounce off the top there yeah the three refs tonight calling it pretty calling it pretty closely Spartans have gone so far yeah majority of their points in the line so good hustle again looks like the SPs are going to drop into two three Zone here number 12 for Westfield's going to get to the [Music] line first shot by number 12 is just a little bit off and the score is 5- zero Spartans so gosam brings it up over to Thompson to Molton Bray she's going to dribble it up the line out to Marino just over the top of the rim good rebound good take by gos into the rim just off though good pass to the middle [Applause]

007there good idea my Molen Bray just off the top of the backboard yeah I like to see them getting Jill Stevens involved inside she's bble to go to work in there which has been good for the spart threat down in the middle there good defense Again by the Spartans y a lot of communication by the spars too which is definitely helping them out yep great defensive possession by the Spartans bringing the shot clock down to almost six seconds getting a good rebound now they really good rebounding so far seen by the Spartans too shot by Molton Bray it's good love to see that from Grace Molton BR yep so Spartan staying their 221 press Westfield breaks it though Stevens is going to be ready there for defense shots good and Westfield's on the board like

008how the spars are breaking the Press really passing out of it Mullen from the corner again and it's good again timeout called by Westfield so two quick threes by mol bre put the Spartans up 11 to two with about two minutes left of the first quarter yeah like we've been saying I like to see this from the spars the the movement on offense has looked really good it's been good by you know Jill Stevens get the ball inside and then outside quick really working the ball really working the ball around the whole whole floor which has looked good yeah really good connection here by Spartan so far too which is really important in any game really so coach heac is going to talk talk to the Spartans even though they have been playing they've been

009playing pretty well so far so they got to close out these last two-ish minutes pretty strong going into the second quarter keep that Gap really big keep the momentum going the teams will get back out here no subs yet for the Spartans uh Westfield has used quite a few so but the Spartans still you know they they've looked pretty good no one they've been up and down the floor pretty quickly so think they can keep that going good pressure by the Spartans yeah their press has been working pretty well good arms there by Stevens so even Westfield has you know gotten down the sidelines a little bit Jill Stevens has been there to clean everything up which has been really good for the Spartan so yeah Westfield gets it out to the perimeter Marino defends

010they get it back inside and back outside KPS off a couple hands O little tussle couple of players hit the hit the deck it's gonna it's going to be bombers well so they get it into number four Marino defends good hands Again by Thompson it to it always in that good helps side position as coach ISAC tells us again great on ball pressure by the Spartans lot of good closing out too they really forcing really forcing Westfield to make quick decisions like the Spartan's first Subs are going to get in so we have Grace Moore and Carolyn Haru in for Jill Stevens and Grace Mullen got a minute 30 left to the first Spartans lead 11-2 again great Hands by the Spartans great communication on defense as well quick movements too which is really good

011it's really great to see them getting around like this forcing Westfield like I said to make quick decisions and maybe not the decisions they necessarily want to Westfield has been bailed out a couple times with you know the foul calls y you know I think it's pretty even though yeah it's four to three so far weing yeah shot by Westfield just off the back of the rim rebound by Moore she's gonna pick the pace up here more looking to make an impact coming in shot by gosin just off by a little bit Westfield pushes the pace but Thompson gets her hand in there to slow her down another foul call on the Spartans so that brings us to the what is it to the Limit yep five five yeah was that a what it's called

012was that a shooting foul anyway I don't know but either way she's at the line for two y shots good got a little bit of a student section going on here tonight which is good to see good to see it cuz you know last time last time we were on remember it was Friday night during break and it was pretty quiet here so we love to see it shots off kind of but it was tipped out so Westfield gets the offensive rebounds it's a good close out tough shot yeah number two hits a tough shot Grace Mo had a great close out on that and and number two is pretty deep there too so hopefully the Spartans can keep it moving on offense great down low that was a great pass by Alli Thompson couple

013seconds left to the first see if we can keep the no shot [Music] and of the first we're at 13 Spartans six bombers yeah like we talked about I think it's been a good good start for the Spartans defensively and offensively um good communication on defense uh good rotations on defense and offense just been moving the ball really well so hopefully they can keep that going into the second quarter it's going to be important because no I think Westfield had a little bit of momentum there at the end of the half number two hitting that tough three-pointer and so we'll see fouls have been pretty even first quarter five for the Spartans three for the the bombers so we got a we got a three ref crew tonight so we should have eyes everywhere pretty

014precise yeah Coach Gary putting us [Music] out shout out to coach Gary and the JV team with what 376 win tonight cheeky little 20 point win give or take um was a tough fought game though started slow started slow definitely but you know we picked it up yep so hopefully we can get two and0 on the night for the Spartans yep got Ford taking the ball up Thompson defends now Goslin defense shot is off Westfield had a little bit of more movement there on offense but the spart spot through the screens which we like to see good move by Haru great move do you remember number 23 oh my gosh yes yes uh [Applause] so SPS get back quickly shots off great rebound by by hards you kind of just taken away yeah it's a

015tough looks a little bit over the back to me but I'll jump on that we play on y we ball hard you taking the ball up [Applause] almost a back court there but Thompson saved it yeah into Haru out more it's a good shot that is a good shot again what I like to see from the Spartans quickly inside to Haru then quickly back outside to Moore definitely giving them some open looks against Westfield's zone defense spart stay in their press just off the mark for Kenna Marino kind of another little tussle on the ground there but the spart press is really producing good results we got Jill Stevens and Sabina mney making an appearance in the game it's my girl Sab you guys may remember Sab she previously joined us in the broadcasting Booth

016but she she had a she had a bigger opportunity so say better things better she's got she's got a new opportunity so yep that Court violation we're proud of her yep it's my [Music] girl Thompson brings it up and great pass more just off by a little bit ball comes into four back to two back to four great pressure by the SP hard's going to be there for the defense good rebound by that's what I really like to see like even when the Spartans have kind of gotten beat a little on the Press there's always been or techne shot just a little bit off happens to the best of us good pressure by the Spartans getting they get the long ball mcky defends call foul on that Emerson's searching a pizza shop menu on her

017phone here gotta get some eat some postgame eats so who is that that a foul on mne so give the bombers the ball under the hoop SP kind of pack in the Middle with the two three Zone don't want to let anything inside smart move shot by 14 it's good high arcing three from 14 that's a tough shot y especially with a close coming 15 to9 Spartans getting a little hectic here see bombers have closed the Gap a little bit another kind of quick little layup there let's see if Spartans can kind of relax a little bit so now just a four-point game look like we had a little bit of problem with the scoreboard but it's 15 to good quick look to Stevens on the inside rebound by Thompson up again by Stevens she's

018going to get fouled great work by the sparn again on the offensive end good shot by Jill Stevens Marino's going to get back into the game taking out Alli Thompson second shot is good two great shots from Jillian Stevens really saying your government name there love Jillian good Hustle by mne back there but not time yeah good hustle just the bombers have been breaking that quickly so when they get those quick passes it's been kind of difficult for them shot by Jill just off off the hands of 10 looked like 10 was ready to do kind of a catch and shoot there but just off just off her hands yep Mo brings it up ball fakes to Marino shot by mne just off a little [Music] bit rebound by Mo she's gonna get knocked down

019there wait wait for more to get in there though that's what I like to see fighting for the rebounds she's gonna have to be tough inside there Westfield they are pretty pretty long team so definitely the rebounding got got to be a big factor for the Spartans I don't it's not it's not a back when it's underneath so I don't think she realized that though so she didn't have to like fling it over cuz she could have just gone back and like retrieved that but it's okay Westfield keeps possession over to 14 again another high arcing three just off the [Applause] mark 14 with a little bit of after the play attitude there not what I like to see I know step's a little angered hope that looks like some takes that anger into some

020offensive threat here to Marino shot good rebound by mne good take by Grace Moore that's a good take like to see that from Grace Moore coming off didn't play Tuesday night against minog coming off a little bit of an ankle injury so we'll love to see her still being confident taking it to the hoop so I think the shots are going to fall just gota give it a little time keep keep chopping the wood yep lit of the cookie jar Spartan staying there manto man shots off rebound by Goslin [Applause] oh another shot by number [Music] [Applause] two so the game here's getting pretty intense four-point game Spartans lead that's one thing about the bombers always very aggressive even in the JB game you know things soccer I feel like always it's always a battle

021out to Goslin out to more inside to Haru shots just a little short good hands by Marino Spartan's defense has really been a big factor in this game I feel like sorry if I just groan into the mic my back's in bothering me feel like Westfield's got a lot of their points in like transition quickly breaking the Press but I think the Spartans half court defense has looked really good really good rotations really good communication which I know that's definitely been a point of emphasis for the too 30 seconds called 35 excuse me got this new rule was that last year they put it in yeah last year yeah another example of how sharp our defense is tonight great defensive possession there they've had a lot of them where they forced Westfield deep into the

022shot clock Marino from the corner just off Thompson for the rebound oh really good rebounding and everything couple of tough bounces for the spur and allly was there we Alli Thompson was there weak side and then Jill was there to get another rebound but both just off the rim so look to get into their their defense again good one-on-one defensive by [Applause] Marino the bank is open 10 with a bank three makes it a onepoint game More Travel called so Westfield looked to push the pace there but must have just taken an extra step for putting the ball down student section really getting into it y love to see it but again another that's I think the the third really tough three Westfield has made this game so shot by Thompson Thompson's three just off

023but still white ball out to gosin in the corner just off Westfield's number 12 with the rebound gets it up to number four running the point close up by Moore good defense by by Jill stens there back into Thompson shot is good good again with that inout kind of motion there yeah great great vision Grace Mo as well to see Thompson on that cut skip to 14 Stevens on that good close up by Stevens Good Help by Jill Stevens as well there rebound by more shot clock is off so the sparms will look to play for the final shot see what they can craft up here over to Thompson inside to Goslin the take great strong take by gosin so just about point game and 15 seconds left here the first [Applause] half looks like

024the student section there tricks both teams shot good no no so Kenna Marino had almost a half court shot there because sparen student section really really got Westfield there and sparen all right so it's halftime we'll be back yep all right so we're back can you hear me yeah all right so both teams we are back with a fiveo game here swest Fields just a little huddle they're going to get back in on the court just like you said five-point game going to be in intense half I think definitely so yeah Spartans got out to that fast start then Westfield kind of closed the g a little bit so it's going to be going to be a fight to the Finish yep so it'll be Westfield ball first SP like man defense y sticking with

025their man it's worked pretty well for them so far so they did a little Outside Inside action there good defense there by Thompson and Steven Thompson pushes it up the floor it's a good look that was a good look little bit of Mis miscommunication there at the kind of the last second but it's all right the Spartans will get back into back into their press yep which has worked pretty well for them overall yeah see if you can like seal up the little like sideline kind of but I feel like anything out of the middle is yeah I know they've definitely been trying to trap on the sidelines but sometimes Westfield has just made that one extra pass that's kind of opened it opened things up for them good interior defense by Stevens 14 another

026bank three and 14 with that high arcing tough shot we' we've covered it but I think that's I think that might be five threes for the bombers meaning 15 of their 19 points have come from Beyond Maro just over good pass to um that's two-point game shot by Thompson just soft by a little bit we'll see if the Spartans do any like adjustments for those threes you know Mullen B hit a couple of Threes from the corner in in uh early in the game but I think that's been it for the Spartans down low to 10 just at the corner of the rim there oh so number 14 kind of tapped it back I think she maybe thought someone was there and then Thompson looked to pick it up but roll kind of from the

027back kind of out of her hands it's good hustle though for that play uh got a lot of noise coming from our student section again love to see it because these these games have been relatively quiet so far this year shot by Thompson it's a two-pointer but two-pointer uh long two it's all right yeah love to see the student section getting into it good press Again by the Spartans they can set up their half court now travel by number 24 good work by the [Music] Spartans I think that on ball pressure has definitely like we mentioned before just forced Westfield to make decisions that maybe they they don't really want to make or aren't the best [Music] decisions out to two for Westfield three just off the front of the rim 14 gets the ball

028back though Marino tough defense she's able to Pivot her way out of two on the Y it's good close out by Stevens great great Outlet pass by Thompson to Marino it's going to be a foul Westfield um on offense has been able to kind of get it low so hopefully the SPs can adjust that a little bit but they have been closing it out they have been getting down there so yeah Marino just first shot off the back of the rim we got a little noise from the Westfield bench area didn't know really there was a actually think it might be the some of the JV players shots just off by a little bit good Hustle by Stevens back to Mar good work by Jill Stevens always count on her to make that hustle Play

029Good passing there by Spartans love to see that from the Spartans really good connection there great pass by Thompson and great Finish By Grace Mullen get a five seconds here this has got to be 10 seconds oh 10 10 but it's going to be Westfield Ball but they they only have one second so so this play is probably going to have to go into the into the front Court yeah kind of a maybe a lob they got it over fortunately because it was very good press defense yeah down Logan to 12 good defense there by white again good rebound by Jill fouled on the rebound yeah looks like Westfield's kind of sending those extra post players underneath to like run that Baseline pack that Baseline yeah trying to do that high low action trying to

030get it outside and inside trying to get it like us but it's not really working too well overall the Spartans have defended it pretty well hopefully we can just improve on it a little bit good pick and roll by Thompson but out to St into Thompson the back of the rim there 11 for Westfield pushes the pace gets it to four four brings it up top looks like we have someone a little bit open underneath for Westfield so hopefully the spans can they they do adjust to that unfortunately just a little easy layup there yeah tough layup by number but looks like Westfield doing a little bit of trap action in the corner there gotta work on those little you know like those little bounce passes instead of those because that was that was a

031good luck yep you know we have more checking into the game with about three minutes left of the third quarter this third quarter's gone by pretty fast yeah I was just about to say good inside work by stens shot by morito oh just off fly a little bit Alli Thompson crashes the boards almost gets the rebound but Westfield pushes the pace again good recovery there hey a little little move from Stevens that was the right idea setting it in front but then Marino just bumps her as she recovers number 24 so it's all right kind of slows it down so looks like coach heac takes a timeout here about three minutes left four-point game Spartans lead definitely been a fastpaced you know third quarter pretty good with like the fouls on both ends though keeping

032it pretty low with two for the bombers and one for the Spartans both teams have really moved quickly up and down the floor just my friend Grace Blaze listening for instructions during the timeout good shout out out there um looks like coach he's going to set up little something to come out with maybe catch Westfield a little bit off guard quick little maybe like quick little switch up and I think that that always works because you know Westfield will Coach Garry's always tells us this coach uh they'll other coach will expect that we're going to come out and what we've been doing in our man but we come out with a little bit of something different and chess match yep so we'll see if the Spartans do anything a little bit different here it looks

033like they do and they go from their classic 221 press to a one2 two [Music] press they get a trap westfields bailed out with a foul again though y but still good idea right idea by Thompson and Marino for that quick little trap in the corner sp's good pressure in the back court almost force of 10 seconds Steeler by Moore who's going to get fouled yep it's good love to see that by more that's always what she did in the youth I remember she be the back of those those press and she'd always be the you I was just G to say like the hawk swoop in kind of get those steals that we needed and Grace Moore a little bit great pick and roll by Moore I think it's going to be a blocking

034foul yeah it's a little bit different than what we've seen from heac she's been Grace Moore has been you know taking on more of a ball hand but looks like she was just playing the inside there maybe we can get her some action inside great pick and roll there gets to the line so hopefully more can keep this up shot is good good shot by Grace Moore so should get another second shot is good great work by Grace Moore put us to 27 to 21 great great read by Jill Stevens to get the steal pushing the pace looks to get it out to Thompson but crash is just taken away by Westfield's number 11 so Westfield will set up their half court offense two kind of direct in traffic for Westfield white in a manto

035man defense here still or yeah yeah great pass by Thompson GNA good job taking a contact there almost in the end one there but she'll get to the line like I said that was a great great steal by Ali Thompson then great pass to get it up the floor quickly to Marino first shot just off the front of the [Applause] rim and looks like a little action between the East Meadow student section and a couple people from Westfield so where are you seeing that wait what you like see Marino misses her second but the Spartans get the rebounds can they get another pick up a nice foul there were we already at the five penalty or no I think made it it's always good for that honestly to definitely been a little bit of capitalize

036off of that those interesting change this year I feel like in our in yeah you know JV games Varsity games you know I've seen some of like the youth Suburban games yeah really I feel like it really slows it definitely but and also I think it's good though yeah it Force the people that's foul so you don't you want to send them to the line don't foul I guess that's the message we're trying to send so preach shots good by Thompson so Thompson splits him takes one and good pressure by the scar forcing those kind of not so good passes because it was definitely the right idea by Westfield but you know sp's defense has definitely forced them into some decisions they haven't wanted to make Grace Moore working the inside again yeah like to

037see it yeah taking her back to her Roots that's I TR to say yeah remember when she you know cooked with us back in seventh and E grade yeah those are the days defense got the rest there shot by two good a good defense there is in her face we got about a minute left here four-point game like I don't have the stats in front of me but Westfield has hit those a ton of threes kind of lacking on the inside like low shots though but those threes man the majority of their points have definitely come from the perimeter I want to say they have 24 points I want to say six of their I want to say 18 of their points are from 63 so tough offensive possession for the Spartans you're gonna let

038okay she yeah so looks like the Spartans have about 35 seconds but there's a little bit of a 3 second difference between shot clock and game clock so they have about 24 seconds good skip to Marino there she's going to take it in good take by Marino that's great idea taking thatl but no yeah I'd definitely like to see spar's working it around then attacking on the skip like coach Garett always says you called out that skip pass attacked she's at the free throw line yep shots off just by a little bit [Applause] yeah the Westfield Westfield section's getting a little bit Rowdy yeah I don't know who's over there but we can't really see I didn't see anyone come in so Marino gets one [Applause] more drops off just by a little bit just

039around the rim Westfield gets it up quickly the Spartans recover shot by two ooh those threes kind of like halfway down there yeah more pushes the pace [Music] Y and K Marino to beat the buzzer love to see those see those second time Standing Ovation for the from the student section here know I remember last game we had Grace Mullen big three to close the third quarter love to see it lot of momentum into fourth we got a seven-point game oh seven-point game um while bounc around the rim but yeah went in so we love to see doesn't matter how it goes in as long as long as it goes in yeah this is definitely going to be tough stretch for the Spartans here tough stretch for both teams really yeah it's gonna be it

040all CS down to these last eight minutes hopefully the Spartans can you know keep up those defensive principles they've been doing in that man-to-man defense really been like we've said all game great rotations hopefully they can keep the ball moving on offense and definitely keep their press working and close out these last eight minutes strong well said The Spar get back out there looks like we have Hardo in gonna give us a little bit more size inside oh but looks like MO is goingon to stay on the inside so we got a lot of hike going into the fourth definitely highlighting gry Moore's versatility here can you know work inside work outside and hopefully she can produce for the Spartans good look there she's going to take it shots good great work by Grace Moore

041I even see Bill Moore in the crowd getting fired up yeah you know it's a good game when is out there great work good look to Marino oh just off the backboard a little bit there really good connection there on that Alli Thompson has made a ton of great passes tonight great Court Vision looks like did Moore get the foul there I think so yeah field was moving in transition smart foul M don't give up anything quick slow it down yep into Westfield's back court number two we're gonna have Molton Bray and Stevens check in here not sure who good defense by the Spartans Marino looks to set up the offense Thompson around the perimeter good save there by Marino yep good heads up play good drive there yep great pass Inside by Grace Moore

042this is what I like to see those post Roots yeah brings me back to the old days I know so wholesome it's all for Circle I know so Grace Mo will be at the line with two shots good so Grace Mo will get another then it looks like Stevens and Molen break coming in for Thompson and Goslin I think that'll just be a quick break for them probably I'm sure they'll be right back in playing really great today everybody it's definitely been a team effort tonight which another thing I love to see an 11o game Spartan's kind of open it up here great recovery by stop that quick little look there at the back court don't want to give up any shot by two again it's good she's good from the money from the corner

043again number two she's hit some tough threes 10 hit a couple 14 hit a couple so I'm going to call a travel on that Stevens must Tak an extra step for put the ball down tough call but they'll get into their defense get into their press and so spart are back to their 221 looks like yep Marino forces Westfield gets it inside good good d by Stevens though oh they're going to get the an one not who's head on Stevens who's that on stev tough take by 24 you know put the ball down got got Stevens on her hip and only thing Stevens could do was foul her so it's a tough one credit credit to 24 yeah lot of noise here from we saw Meadow looks like there I don't even think that one

044hit the rim so there must have been a violation there student section really getting into it good luck to hard you oh sof by a little bit good pass by though that's what we like to see shot by 10 it's good oh my goodness goodness goodness those threes I don't know I I'm not sure ifac's gonna have Spartan aest of those I don't know I mean he hasn't really done anything yet about it so I don't know if it's idea that's been Westfield's game yeah shots good by Mullen M answers though yeah makes it a six-point game for the Spartans y so Spartans lead 3832 M about five and a half minutes left here good defense by Marino Mullen bres on the ball now oh good close by Stevens great block by Hardo going to

045slow the pace down there smart idea smart idea to hard you it's a good look hey Grace oh it's all right little miscommunication there back to the basket when no one was there but yeah ooh oh would have been a great that would have been a great charge if Steven just had bodies hit the deck yeah the deck H so it'll be a jump ball who do we got we got Goslin and Thompson checking in for Haru and Marino I think yeah looks like there's a little bit of confusion on whose ball it is [Applause] not little bit confusing there white thought it was their ball setting up SPS were going to set up their offense but ref SW [Music] do yeah W BR on ball screen by 24 she rolls but Westfield doesn't see

046her shot by two from Deep great rebound by gra she's gonna have some hands yep there you go saw a lot of arms there from Westfield great work by Grace Moore to go up and get go up and get it hold on [Music] really really displaying their strength tonight all their strength versatility dribble adversity I don't know fighting through the adversity yeah not going to let that angle stop her nope good look there she's gonna go through oh I don't know if that blocking foul seemed a little bit too off balance for that to be nothing to me but yeah we we play on yeah look down low come back not in Grace Moore's house nope timeout called by Westfield I believe remember you used to get hyped up for those yeah that back in

047the day yeah so who took that timeout I think it was Westfield all right so see what see what Heek has to say here save that shoot so looks like he's going to drop something a little different maybe everyone's getting the instructions so fourth quarter has definitely been fast-paced just kind of like the third quarter the whole second half has been really fast-paced Westfield hit a couple you know really tough threes I mean not only not only in this quarter but throughout the game that's really been they've been consistent yeah yeah that's been a spark for them so yeah definitely where the majority definitely a lot of Sparks here coming from East Long Meadow tonight yeah like to see great a lot of connection yes yep a lot of Hustle like to see everyone moving

048around different positions showing off their strength everyone shooting everyone passing everyone passing yeah everyone's really this has really been a great great team effort tonight so hopefully they can finish strong keep it working so six-point game now 3832 [Music] Spartans Westfield with a good play out of the timeout to get an easy layup about yeah four minutes left to the fourth got a four-point game good little hand off there we got we had Goslin open on the far side good idea with the take from just tipped off side a little bit just a little bit of a touch and Spartans getting into their defense again get it to the Baseline but great defense by the Spartans out to the corner shot by 11 SC burries it those threes this is a onepoint game now Spartans

049lead by just one 3837 Mrs Thompson really want really getting the student section into it yeah love to see it shot by Thompson shot good great answer by Al to get them back with those threes not usually we don't usually see a pull up from Aly but love to see it in game when we do no big it's good Big Time Players make big time plays in Big Time games that's that's what they say good close out there by Thompson two definitely would have pulled up for that shot good rebounds Spartan's going to slow it down game now way to Chin it in it yeah to more that's a right idea stays white Marino checking in for Molton Bray yep about two and a half minutes left well that was a good pass by uh

050EV goson giving it to Grace Moore's outside so it's just tipped away out to Marino in the corner up to gos on the [Applause] top good take there too it's a good take as well yeah good both good on both parts Thompson was kind of stop there good trap there by Mo and Thompson but 24 with the heads up play to throw it off the throw it off the leg oh suck hate those they stay in their stay in their press MH Westfield breaks it gets to the good hands by Stevens way to use her height there not getting that over Jill Stevens no that vertical with those arms up no way shot by Marino shots good kind of getting a little we got the we got the grandparents we got the parents we got

051the students it is a seven-point game Jill Stevens in a tough situation there coming down three on one timeout Westfield with a minute 30 left 44 39 Spartans definitely getting intense Yep this quarter's also gone by so fast yeah I it really has I don't know usually I feel like it's opposite really close games I feel like they you know forever but wow never especially with this new foul rule but like there haven't been many fouls but really pretty really overall good reps tonight honestly this been a very good game so I'm excited to see how it closes out hopefully comes down to this you know you play a whole game but it really comes down to Hope can stay locked in you know mentally physically last last minute and a half so that was

052Westfield's timeout off their made basket so it'll be East Long mows ball under I think they're going to be trying to break Westfield press press yeah so maybe we'll have a little bit I'm imagining that Westfield Co the Westfield coach called this time out to set up some kind of C yeah if not probably some different kind of Defense you know yeah half court so I'm sure coach I'm sure they're pressing yeah set up a little bit of a of a exactly of a press break that can work man in zone but um SPS have been working on this you get it y quick little Stevens yep out to Marino shot oh just off the rim by a little bit looks like they just called a travel Westfield coach Westfield fans not happy about that

053Marino shot from the corner just off again but Grace Hustle by Emma Goslin great great great even though Grace Moore did end up uh you know making a layup there great great great timeout by coach heac really wants to tell tell the girls to slow down they're head by five they have a 30 second shot clock right now or well if they're at 31 really slow it down cuz I mean if you slow down Westfield's gonna be forced to you know it's Westfield coach trying to figure out where the ball's at so he knows what to set up but like I said smart smart timeout by coach Isaac really giving people their instructions telling them slow it down make sure comp focus on the little things m not not let the little things you know

054I'm confident in them you know they they've been in this they've been in this situation before they've had a close one with um Westside a couple weeks ago here and so I think I think I think they know how to handle it so so we got a minute 10 [Music] left so we'll see we'll see what heac Drew up I know we've been working on kind of drawing up plays and going out there and executing at practice this week so like to see they get into Stevens Stevens yep she's goingon to get fouled a little bit of a a lot of lot of fouls on stens today kind of a late hit there too she kind of had an awkward fall but still not a shooting foul and no one's at the limit so another

055another great Hustle by Grace Moore Oh on the that's still great Hustle by Grace Moore really putting herself on the line sacrificing herself for her team for the win what I love to see yeah her legs s sacrificing her legs too painful time out by bombers always love those hustle plays so yeah hopefully so just 5 5 seconds left to go now still five-point game so that was Westfield's timeout to be say yeah yeah I think he I think he only has one more so so both coaches Really Gonna really drawn up drawn up some action [Music] here definitely a both teams really dialed in an intense intense situation for both teams and heac pointing coach heac pointing out here that there are not a lot of fouls that have been called so if the

056Spartans get into trouble they can always foul they have three to give before they're at the line so and bombers have three oh yeah they have three two two give yeah so them too that I'm sure they have a smart coach as well so I'm sure he's been saying the same thing so definitely turning into a little bit of a chess match here yeah as Timothy Gary likes to say this is when it matters these last these last intense moments seconds yeah that that's when that's when everyone needs to be locked in mentally so so we'll see what Westfield comes up with out of this lot of movement out to 24 good on ball defense by gosin good Arms by Thompson there allly always in good HS side position I think they're going to call

057another timeout for Westfield did he call time or I think we saying side out oh must be like one of their little plays [Applause] yeah good good hands defense there yep time out by Westfield Gary getting into it here Timmy really hyping him up yeah got a lot of energy in this gym tonight love to see it really from everywhere I feel like yeah yeah the these games aren't usually especially the boys games usually usually get get crazy but I love to see it on the girl side too like we said before students get into it parents yeah that's when grandparents yeah it really impacts the game too really makes it a fun environment yeah and you know for the players it is it's tough playing with all like the noise distractions but when they

058can lock in and you know they they hear that that those Cheers Cheers yeah really can get him going CH change the momentum of a game so so now we have just 38 seconds left yeah I think so it's going to be Westfield's ball underneath so they'll be looking to score here they have just 14 seconds left on the shot clock so it's gonna be need to be another another great defensive possession from White here great defense by the spars 5 Seconds course a 5c violation it's great work by the Spartans so now 38 seconds left 35 second shot clock so a little bit three 3 second difference reverse it reverse it good get it over good work Jill yep I slow down Grace yes Grace they're going to love to see it by the

059Spartans with the heads up play you know Grace Moore kind of had a open Lane but very smart play to just take it out no one clocks on their side hopefully they uh kind of avoid the uh five foul penalty because Westfield does foul but I think they're gonna Yep they're gonna get them yeah so that's gonna that's gonna be they look they still now they oh he just he just put up the wrong score no yeah there was just a little scoreboard map it was 39 4439 not 4441 wait wait wait no no no no no I think it was 44399 yeah and now the clock isn't running all right that just sorry for going quiet a little bit that just made my heart kind of pound so we had a little bit of

060issue adding the fouls to the scoreboard and then points were added to Westfield side instead and then e medal got the ball in but the clock didn't run so that was that was definitely a little bit caused a little bit of scare for me cuz I was like cuz you know I think now like I I hate to say it' be like this but I think there there shouldn't be more than 15 seconds left on the clock had the clock been running during that time so yeah you know we'll figure it out the score has been settled so Westfield's at five fouls now so any time any foul sends East meow to the line and heac reiterating the same message that if Westfield does happen to get the ball back they can bowel as well

061they still have three to give so you got good ears I can't even hear what he's saying yeah don't want to don't want to give away his pointers but no he's definitely given given the SP some some good advice in these closing seconds so just 19 seconds left no shot clock Ali Thompson's going to be at the line two shots just s by a little bit all right she got she gets one more Yep if the and we are up by five so yep she makes this she makes it a six-point game shots good good work allly so Spartans apply a little pressure send the Home Run ball think they're just going to try and get that good hand by Thompson always and Marino with the smart play to slow it down they're going to

062try it great work by the Spartans there we go great win for the SP yep back in the win call fun night four and four on the season so when do we play again sometime once next I want to say I want to say Tuesday against Pittsfield is that what it is and then I think it might be that home so yeah so stay tuned for that one gonna be a big week next week too so hopefully carry this momentum and we'll sorry all right good good night good night that was so fun
