001[Music] [Applause] purple Panthers threatening and gton with the lead it's Titans Point hey what a great Crossing pattern I tell you finding himself all alone up the seam was Ryan connley shot and a goal and the Titans are on the board blackl oh tell you see is a beast up and running and look at that he's in there sh score you can see it all setting up you sure could sets it up and a kill winner and here comes the Donna all lined up it's nothing but gold there right there oh my goodness you'll watch it back on Nash ETV [Music] I've been a public addressing offer now for 30 years so I'm just like you just say keeping it simple right exactly so tonight you're working man I know I know I got to

002do a hockey game after this we are here at the Banger gym for the nationville South burle Panthers quarterfinal division one quarterfinal against the exitor blue Hawks number four Nashville against number five exitor and the thing is the reason we're here and not in exitor was a night two weeks ago Friday night where exitor came up short 6 452 welcome everybody on Blue Hawk watching our blueh Hawk media back in exitor as well sh this is a even though that was a 12-point game I don't think anyone is looking at this game in the same way we talked to both coaches prior to the game today and obviously they know what they have to do the blue Hawks have to contain Josh guso Y and the unevitable tax task goes to AGI Griffith to contain

003him and then our guys then I say our guys I'm bleeding blue today yes you are okay the two guys that really have to step up their game n m nef and Mr Brio Nick Brio it's a lot of emotion involved in this game because obviously Nashville's had a generational player that I like to call him a generational kid in Josh Caruso in terms of the score he's probably the best player they've ever had since the split it reminds me of a kid who played in the 80s in the mid 80s in National Chris Madigan who was just an outstanding player played at St A's went on to a great career he also I believe he played overseas kuso has got that kind of scoring ability the ball finds him and the ball finds the

004basket oh yeah you know the other night against Marram his shot wasn't falling so he took it to the basket ended up at the foul line 13 times hit 12 of 13 from the line had his average of 28 points so but what do you think a ugie can do against him today just he has to play his aame and and you talk to coach Holmes and he he'll rotate people out on Caruso but getting here early today why ing cruso in warm-ups I mean this kid shoots the lights out so one mistake and he's going to take advantage of it that's true one mistake and and but it's a game of mistakes a lot of people often say that high school games aren't one they lost you know and so it depends on who

005makes the mistakes right you know I saw a game last night where there were a lot of defensive mistakes on hollis's part they lost to sanbor giving up a lot of layups in over a quarter and a half you know 30-point turnaround so anything can happen at any time in a high school basketball game we're going to find that out today who else offensively should the people watching today look for with exitor well Tyler ree he was hot with a three-point shot and uh if he stays that way today you can be a big backer we got some height under the boards Jack tiido rebounding and and putting the ball back up and uh we got a couple others hugley Brown and also Nate tomasi so we got some height under the boards too so

006it's rebounding along with some shooting and again Nate mcf likes to play the inside game so there you go best shooter on the team uh I would say Nick greo Nick G all right G yeah he's he's the most aggressive shooter let's put it that right never been a three didn't like right well close to it right he he knows his he knows his all right kuso only had one three in the maram game so his shot was off nashille South will depend on a trio they usually go with with Josh Caruso Josh trip the two joshes and then Daniel caravana a sophomore big man if those three are in scoring double Figures it's tough to beat this South team which is averaging close to 70 points a game and now we will have our

007national anthem tonight is being by Patrick McCarthy Jeff and Brian Allison today's athletic trainer is Madison dear at this time please stand remove your act for The Mention camp [Music] la [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and we're almost ready to go here another player to watch if you're uh from exitor and you want to see who else can do some damage on nashwa uh watch out for number four Luke Vander hor vandor he's got that penetrating ability and can really do some damage he's got a lot of energy and that's what he brings to the table is his defensive and offensive energy you know not a great shooter but he can hit he can hit but but he can do some damage so we are just about ready to get underway here at the Banger gym

008and this will be an emotional game regardless because this will be Caruso's last game on this four that's right on the same a the officials for today's game just so we can throw them out there Patrick kthy Jeff Barnard and Brian [Music] Allison and a daylight game I'm shooting into the sun yeah he's just going to say 2 o'clock in the afternoon 2 o'clock in the afternoon they like to play Day games here on the weekends they don't like the night games so and we're ready to go and the blue offs take the [Applause] tip dander hor up top for South out right underneath there's greo and there's Greco with a basket two nothing dander horse and Caravan on top Caravan goes for three and in and out out of bounds it should be South

009ball wow I look thought it went off of uh theander horse but or not Vander horse but malan's hands but no and there is the jumper by Caruso no good rebound Blue Hawk and here we go that's going to be real important Tom that's that's where they kind of dropped it in the last game they need to get that second shot nowan brings it [Music] up dander horse trip Josh trip who was a big man but volunteered to be the point guard about three or four games into the season and it changed their season it really helped them out oh look at that pass inside to dander hor not bad for a point guard in making right amen amen you know you get that kind of uh ability to to do those kinds of things

010and it it really helps out blue Hawks Baseline [Applause] no wide open shot going to go to the hole and there it is another one another one by Greco that's two 42 the [Applause] score trip on the left side back across Court to Caravan up top you're looking for Caruso he's looking for the ball and rotating to the top of the arc dander horse looks look like he's going to try to go he dribbles it off his foot in and out and loose ball and South has it in a foul called it'll be on the blue Hawks and I think it'll be on Greco yes it is [Applause] yep come on Sher give us the call foul fall first personal let go team first there we go I'm not used to this Tom you doing

011fine I haven't done this for quite a while so this is this is new t for me I'm happy we could do a joint effort today a it's a pleasure working with you nice pass underneath but it goes off the hands and out of bounds it'll be exit the ball 4 two funny thing here somebody asked me if I was going to be neutral today and yeah in a way I have to be I know because this is an nhia game we tell them what happens and they make up their minds right that's right and a loose ball knocked Away by Vander horse out to malagon malagon Vander horse loses it in the middle and that's sometimes the problem with him he'll turn it over on the dribble Greco now has it for exitor guarded

012by trip Greco looks like he's going to try to go again he does and the foul is called on trip not on Malon who tried to block from behind it should be on trip and it might be on the floor not a shot let's see no they're going to give they give him two and Nick is one of the solid free throw shooters I hope I didn't drink it drinks him then oh he's missing this for sure [Music] K oh I guess I was wrong Nails yeah maybe maybe this one it it never fails you know when you say a game is going quick it slows down when you say he's going to have the shot he doesn't that's all always always up good crowd on hand today at The Banger house for mat you

013got it there how about that sh not bad we'll take it we'll take it 62 Blue Hawk lead and a steal AI MCN and off the transition and a timeout for South they can't get their offense going it's nothing that they're doing defensively but nice play by mcnf to take it all the way in a turnover and turnovers are going to hurt they need to get organized offensively but great job by exor and this if you're on the road in a tournament game this is the kind of start you want to have eight to exactly you don't want to be playing from behind at all nope don't want to have to climb that Hill for you know takes a I think every time you fall behind like that early in a game even if you

014b battle back it takes a little bit more out of you and then you sag back again exactly so I think you get up to a quick start that's a good sign for the blue Hawks Josh triple inbound it now after the timeout we're three minutes into the first quarter it's an 8-2 game cruso brings it up trip now and that's one thing I think they changed that in the timeout they had Caruso bring the ball [Applause] up Caruso's trying get in the corner it's a little it's a kind of a a soft Zone it looks like exitor is playing because they're not right on top of cuso now they go double team cuso shot no good knocked out of bounds it's going to be bluehawk balls Van's got that what do you see from

015exitor Sher well you know the boxing one was a big thing in that last contest that they they played they tried on Caruso and uh yeah it's going to be a very interesting because Panthers came around and countered it and MC wow wow M he is just Man on Fire well that's you know three times exit's gone four times layups 10 to2 the Panthers are [Applause] trailing I think in their last meeting Tom I think Nate knew he just didn't have it that night I mean just things weren't going his way so far so good Caruso has yet to score similar to the the Marram game in that fashion he's taken only one shot I have to give credit to AI Griffith he's playing him tight he is that staying right with him number four

016Caruso and then they cut off the dribble see and tyar playing too they cut it off so they obviously saw what he did against marac and they said we got to cut off the pass to the hoop tavanic down low bounce pass out of bounds and still South ball you see how or disorganized they are offensively they can't get Caruso free and all of a sudden they've got to go with a two-man game with Tripp and Caravan malagon off no good rebound comes down blue Hawks get it out they come they're up 10 to two here they come right to the basket again dander horse with the rebound little too aggressive oh Caruso on the break and he lays it in transition game works for South you know it's funny sure after watching all these

017years with Nate maser's teams to slow down get the score down and everything else now all of a sudden his running game on not used to it but dcoo for two he's got six low four when he finds his spot he's not afraid to take that shot no his spot's been one inch under the basket and three feet away he's had a couple of themo [Applause] [Music] airball naal fan student body I guess this is Beach day I didn't wear my sandals or my or my Speedo but excuse me for that playing a C Coast team I should have right there you go you should have you're right trip guarded closely cross scor uh Caravan wide open three oh they only two only two only two 126 wide open but his foot was on the

018line and that's his fault he took a point away he was wide open he should have made sure he was a three-point range exor now now REO going to drive and no good I like exit's aggression though Long pass down the floor out it goes to trip trip's going to drive the lane and hits got it we got a game again [Applause] 128 come the blue [Music] Hawks it's re re is shot H HS it Tyler [Applause] 148 trip to Caravan no fear in these blue Hawks I'll tell you that right now and they knew it South knew that would be the case oh Caravan gets it down low but not in position to shoot trip Caravan open again they're going to leave him open I think screens for Caruso shot off balance he's short

019rebound by tamasi on that [Applause] one R Hawk setting up from Beyond The Arc looks like they want to take a three now kuso goes out he can play defense too here's another drive and the blue offs again another aggressive Drive 16 to8 Nash was South not able to cut off that penetration on the dribble and that aggressiveness that exitor always has Nick nef with the layup 168 the runner 15 seconds left let's see if South holds for the last shot Caruso double team bounce pass down low does he go here's a shot all the way no good and now do it for the end of the first quarter but boy we are watching an aggressive exit Team come out play defense on Caruso South a little funnel offensively yeah and then look at exit

020I mean they haven't taken a shot more than foul line extended they have just nailed it they watched that game from couple weeks ago I think in all those mistakes they made they're trying to I think it always gives I think the advantage when you have a rematch in the tournament always goes to the team that lost the first time because they they correct the mistakes they made the other team mentally they're kids right right ah we can do we'll be fine you know no problem we beat him the first time we'll beat him again you know it doesn't happen that's right the strategy of of playing tough on Caruso that's obviously what the factor is here um I mean eight-point lead I'm sure Jeff Holmes is happy about that well what he ought to

021be happy about is the high percentage shots and that too because they've been taking L they haven't had a low percentage shot all game correct 16 to8 and I'd say 12 are on layups yep right going right in for it exactly in the paint somewhere yep and that has been a huge huge key and we're ready to start the second quarter as the players go out on the floor Let's see we got some changes for the blue Hawks Jackson McDonald is in there now and I see Nate tamasi still in there and they got Huxley Brown he'll be playing on into the boards as well so keeping the height under the boards for rebounding second quarter just [Applause] underway Josh trip down low and [Applause] in that is lamir for Nashville South Off the Bench

022they have put in Colin LEC and Shane lir numbers three and 13 exor trying to get that same situation but they're in the half court now they go again and a steal Caruso bounce pass down low not the best of plays and the ball goes out of bounds is tipped off of Nash so ball yeah I didn't know about that I like see the replay on that one yeah I would like to see the replay on that too let's see if we do [Music] Eric chis Tim O'Neal on camera Dan young back in the [Applause] studio go Hawks up [Music] [Applause] six doing the weave layup shot no out of bounds tipped [Applause] away he was hoping for some contact there but didn't get that but yeah but another layup attempt blue retain the ball

023another layup attempt I imagine they wouldn't go to the three ball well they're going to go to it here nope short and out of bounds it'll be Nash for South Wall I would imagine you won't see a heavy dose of Threes from them unless they're trailing in the game exactly exactly so they're going to go be as aggressive as they can and been the key yep trip and L bringing it up Le will bring it up the floor looks like L is going to run the offense for a while trip is now going to go he's going to post up they're going to try to post up trip taking him out of the point guard spot now they got Caruso outside looks like he's going to try to shoot it but he loses the Tribble

024little anxious here come the blue Hawks no now this is from the corner no jump off y the arrow points to team of [Applause] blue Leo depalo number 42 into the game now for nashille South here's ugy top of the key NY can shoot he can wow and wow so can so can MC nef by my my count I'm not keeping track completely but by my count he's got seven maybe more I got him for nine nine there we go I missed one yep just one of those layups there been so many lir to L trip looks back at the play as they look back at nazaro as he calls it out long shot and hits lir a three ball [Applause] 1913 the corner top of the Ark mcnf guarded by levette screen jumper no

025doesn't take it thought about it mcnf and oh losing on the dribble and it goes out of bounds but it'll still be ex ball and now he comes out of the game got some subs coming in Myers coming in y and back in is the starter is Greco that was h Brown who came in number 24 earlier and came in and gave some couple of valuable minutes for the blue Hawks using their benches early both teams are to try to save their best for the LA Best For [Applause] Last oh watch this nope cut it off trip cut it off but now lot of for that open and a reverse layup ex gets the rebound he gets the rebound [Applause] wow oh 10 foot good wide open for two for two number 23 Tibido Jack

026Tibido long range Caruso for three there you go that's what people are waiting for and you see the Purple Rain Banner come out from the crowd the paollo on defense for South does a good job bander hor to rebound tries to clear it out and he does almost threw it out of bounds malagon saves it that's out of bounds again Caruso will take it out frantic Pace now all of a sudden with 334 left to play in the first half 21 by the blaw yeah I thought somebody was going to call timeout I the pace was getting a little bit heavy for everybody to handle right now and we've got a Timeout on the floor Sher what do you see I'll tell you Tom we came out aggressive the blue Hawks and Caruso may be

027getting a stroke we'll see well they've had a 19- 10 lead that's the larest lead they've had it's now a five-point game you get a two and a three and we'll see it's going to be interesting it's going to be a four quarter game I think we I think we've cemented that already right yeah yeah oh no doubt about it one thing I'm just you know I'm wondering if the blue Hawks can keep that pace up for defense on Caruso that's be the factor yeah that's a good point very good point that is a factor you know is playing playing tough tyar when he's out there he's playing tough on on D so and we'll just have to wait and see exactly all right there's Caruso triple teamed all of a sudden shot is short

028[Music] as Griffith got some help once Caruso squared up BLU Hawks mcnf from the foul line no rebound Sky High trip brings it up Court Caravan he's got a three already in this oh he's got a two in this game not a three that's a three three no rebound [Music] exitor what exitor has done defensively while they defending the perimeters they haven't allowed the dribble penetration that marac allowed in the first game and there's some penetration right there and off the glass it in seven-point lead for the blue Hawks NASA South has never l in this game ex got off to a 10-2 start they had as much as a nine-point lead Vander horse number four malagon Vander horse going to drive no cut off by the blue now he get see dipy Doo and

029lays it in that's what they need to do Tom yep but they've got to have that move he was going straight to the basket he wouldn't have made it he got the pump fake and got it in blue Hawks be on Arc Deo to mcnf mcnf goes to the hoop no rebound [Applause] Caruso Caruso he's going to take it all the way rejected you know that's a situation where that's one on Three you don't want to do that yeah and that's where and that's why you get the block but it'll still be Southpaw trip thought about it looking to see the set up he's a point guard again here now to vanderhorst over to malagon back to Vander horse Vander horse drives L he's going to dip you do again it's blocked but he was

030foul foul called offensive going to call offensive foul wow wow but he can't give up Tom he has to keep doing that I mean he has to keep driving got to keep driving that's four fou no not not four I'm sorry that's the first team foul yeah first team foul I was looking at number four his first team first go back my PA I looked at the wrong four right get back to your PA I need I need your [Applause] [Music] Sho loses it sh it's all yours ball comes right to you usually I'm not paying attention and they get me my former colleague at the telegraph Dean shaloo living a good retired life now he gets the ball MCN lays it in man I'll tell you they are tough the high percentage shots are

031just killing National South but the difference is when someone from Exar goes to drive it's one-on-one when someone from South goes to drive it's one on Three that's a big difference exactly and a steal but out of bounds give it a nice aggressive move R know he's there nothing easy 34 [Applause] seconds Caruso puts it up and in two no three he just signal three oh I don't know where that looked like it was inside he did single three and now it's a four-point game wow my eyes must be deceiving me used to be that at least two of the officials had the signal three this guy on the on the line was the right there bench he was the only one that had his arms up [Applause] y shot is going to be off

035head coach I I go a little bit further back yeah you go back with him when when he played when he played and he but I I mean this kid has been around for a lot kid he's been around future National Hall of Famer for sure Jeff Holmes 28 with the blue Hawks and when I first got into the state Jeff Holmes was a star at Keen High School exactly exactly and that was 1983 mucho respect for both of these coaches these guys know how to coach and I said in my podcast and I'm going to give a plug to SEO Sports Forum that you know this team Nashua was my sniper team in in the in the brackets and I I like I say I know Nate and I know he knows how to

036coach and of course Jeff does too so this is a heavyweight match and it's up to the coaches to to coach it up well right now Nate Mazel has got to find a way to get Josh Caruso free and get his team a little bit more on par defensively the exor's dribble penetration uh Greco leads exitor with 11 I'm sorry mcf with 11 Greco with 10 Caruso has nine and that's where the scoring leaders are right now in this game they took the point point away after we left for that three-pointed we were talking about it was not a three it was a two as I thought by Josh Caruso so it's a 2520 game Tom King Hong here along with Sher Chester and trip goes up for two and he's fouled Eric chelder on

037camera along with Tim O'Neal Dan young back in the studio and of course DJ py Peete are esteemed producer with his second trip there you go that's the PA I need [Music] exactly can hear a you can hear a pin drop with I know every hold their breath [Music] not one out of two for trip [Music] [Applause] now we get to watch we're down at the end where Nash South is just shooting exor was here earlier that's where we are so now we'll have a little different vantage point and see how exitor is trying to do and how they've been able to do what they've been doing backing in is G Greco and he doesn't hit it Caruso bringing it all the way trip R it all the way Caruso from the corner foul that

038hits the floor you buy it a dollar for every time Josh Caruso is at the floor this season I'd be able to retire now following aie Griffith that's his first team second ugie has been doing a good job and whenever cusa starts to penetrate the wall of blue faces him there two other players will go there and cut it off we're shooting three here shooting three yep saw that last night in the holl sandborn game a couple times there's one kid from sandborn made all three and this could be what could get him fired up if he hits all three it'll be within a [Applause] point dingo 25 24 as well as exor has played the Panthers are within one exor working from the outside Griffith with it down low at the back in in

039the lane shot good oh that is a classic play a classic play by greo and he's not afraid to make it no that's just it they have no fear none at all trip crosscourt alagon go ahead Sher I'm just going to say he and MC nef know this could be their last game and they don't want it to be right exactly oh wow Tio Tibido with the ls and the transition play the put back no to rebound comes down to the Panthers in horse all the way he's going to landay in 4726 back to a onepoint game as said he just needs to keep driving the lane this is a treat imagine if it's like this in the fourth quarter oh gri it top of the key m n in the corner shot one-handed Runner

040no good rebound trip trip's going to run it up that's what ntional South's going to do now they're going to start to run now they got why the way up and now the Panthers leading 2847 time out exor and Nash South has got the lead for the first time in this game momentum that's just it momentum yep and the P the pace yeah I think at half time Nate Mell said look guys we're slowing it up offensively we're getting in time for them to sit up they're going to run the ball in the second half and I think Caruso going to the line that's just what he needs yeah exactly so the layup 548 to play here third quarter layup is Nashville South their first lead [Music] anybody's basketball game sure how has ex responded

041to swings like this throughout the course of the season I think there again coach Holmes knows if he sees a real momentum shift he's smart enough to take time out and regroup regroup you know just not let it go out of hand 82 second third quarter South out scor the bhawks that's where experience comes in Tom between Holmes and mezal oh no doubt about it great coaching match up Griffith quarter now drco he's going to drive spin move shot good tough as Nails 29 28 blue [Music] Hawks Josh trip on the outside double team it's going to go to the hole no he's Bon from outside no air ball loose ball kisto Dives on it let's see we got a timeout Follow by [Applause] sou so we got another game going on as we are

047point 3933 Caruso from downtown it's going to be good no it's off rebound [Applause] exitor blue Hawks looking to pull the mile upet they're up six with basically 918 to play in the game shot is good dreo from the foul line timeout South 4133 exor with a 90 run and to look on my partner Sher Chester's face would tell it all goes on camera he is amazed I'll tell you this uh this this is what we talked about at pregame the blue Hawks had to come out and just keep the aggressive stance and and and also negate or nullify Caruso keep him keep him out of that 30-point range Caruso hits the three to put him up by one and now it is a 90 exitor run and I got Josh Cru right now 13

048so so if you keep him under 20 maybe but I don't think that's going to happen I don't think that's going to happen under 30 I think that could happen depends but the thing that South can't do sh is they cannot wait for him to get hot they got to take matters into their own hands regardless for sure for sure what do we got got an update uh from down in Portsmouth the Clippers with a 1611 lead over Memorial oh it's early in the game from Brandon Brown in that game 4133 after that timeout PR South with 110 to play in the quarter that'll get another break in a little bit vandor will bring it up but what exitor has done is slowed South down now South was running got off to that big run

0498 to2 to start the quarter on the fast break and everything else and just hasn't been able to sustain it because ex has hit their shots jtic looking he does know looking to see what he can do with the ball doesn't know what to do B hor top Caravan sets the screen for Caruso but who doesn't have the ball Caravan now looking to try to dribble now he gives Caruso the ball Caruso with the three-pointer from the corner it's no good and it goes off and it still SS ball as it was tipped out of bounds by the blue [Applause] Hawks yeah they've got McDonald's on Caruso right now so he's so far doing a great job double team on trip Caruso Caravan drives the Baseline loses the ball huley Brown yep being in the

050right place right [Applause] time carava needed to just go up and try and take it to the basket I think on that play BC NE guarded by Vander horse like I said quickness on quickness MC nef cross over dribble drops the lane no he's foul that's what he was looking for goes to the line and exor has a chance to up by 10 with 2.3 seconds left in the quarter and we got vanderhurst with the foul that's his second the first one was an offensive foul if you remember back in one free throw is Good from MF and he gets the second one and now it's a 10-point exit lead dander horse going to throw off a desperation it looked good oh it looked like it was on target but no yeah it did and

051it would have counted we have played three quarters of basketball nashal South season is on the line they are down 10 going into the final 8 minutes of Regulation 4333 shm your thoughts well well you you said it a little while ago at halftime it's it's who is left standing at the end and it's obviously going to be who has the stamina who has more in the tank yeah more in the tank because those shots that Kusa is taking right now they're coming from the legs yeah he loses that it's in trouble I don't think he's going to lose it he's got energy to bound this kid is a generational player you said and they are going to but the thing is that South cannot do is wait for him to get hot the others

052have to chip in and then all a sudden crus is left open hits a shot and the blue Hawks kudos to their defense on him their defense overall they are holding a team that scores an average of around 65 points a game to 33 after three quarters to play again both coaches both coach Holmes and mazol I mean these guys I said in our podcast that it it really is it's the time for the coaches to shine too well I think now it's the players it's in the of the players for this quarter all the adjustments have been made now it's in the hands of the players in South Hazard first Caruso thought about it no I'm sorry that's lamir Lam's thought about it bander horse MC nef on him Caruso running around Griffith staying

053with him lamir wide open shot no rith the rebound bounce pass down low layup no tip no Here Comes trip got out of Tio's hands Caruso to trip no no foul called and ex with the ball that's one think I was going to bring up Tom too there's not been a lot of files call this no not in this one they let the play blocked like that it letting everybody [Music] [Applause] play a lot of banging in the paint and the whistles have been silent they knew they were going to be in for a tough game and they're getting one exit are up 10 they survived the Nashville South run with one of their own it is a 110 run and it's now a 140 run re for three he's on 645 to play Blue

054Hawks up by [Applause] 13 lamir no trip doesn't go for the rebound he thought better of it he was he knew he would have committed a foul steel now trip's going to go to the line the passage to Caruso 4635 ntion house with a full port [Applause] press Griffith wide open short oh getting the rebound going high Greco a three no get it again [Applause] again Greco on the dribble loses it regains it poetic justice for him to scored two oh yeah he worked for that he worked for that one 4835 vandor going in for the layup lamir wide open from the corner no he's 0 for three and three-point land in this quarter Griffith's vertical leap is is phenomenal on the rebounding wide open from the corner time out South that is nickn Ni

055nef wow is just energized and exitor up 526 to play wow wow is Right halftime and Portsmouth is up 3531 over Memorial so that one's a game two yep we always say somebody playing at home in the quarterfinals is going to go down and right now the odds are it's going to be the team that we're watching right now they are down 16 with 526 left don't count anything out I don't not after what I saw last night when I saw Hollis with a 12-point lead Midway through against sanbour and sanbour looked like South does now you know down all and all of a sudden they got energized 30o swing and they by 18 points but that was with a quarter and a half to play this you've got 526 left that's not a lot

056of time I uh I know there's always a potential for UPS in any League any any anytime anytime right especially at the high school level and I figure these guys are playing for pride too yes they are Caruso Caravan for three no rebound malan blocked wow no whistle there letting him play [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah bander horse brings it way out but you can't take a lot of time here You' got to go and try and vah hor hits the deck and he's fou he'll go I believe let's see on the floor or a shot I don't think he got any up did he y he's going to go to the line I'm not exactly sure 11 he called that on okay no yeah no it's yeah mcf but it's also not a non shooting

057foul Caruso guarded by Griffin did GFF guard him the first time who they played uh yes he did w be good nowon dander horse long range shot it's good boy did they need that that was a two correct yeah I believe it was a three was it a [Music] three exiter and at this point Tom they just need to make their shots don't do anything silly well I think what they're going to do now is they're going to try to milk the clock a little bit yeah exactly they could take a minute off if on a good possession well they're not milking it there and the shot is no good rebound Griffith as you said great Point by Sher about Griffith's vertical leap and you just saw it there's the shot for the corner bag

058wow cor was that mcf right that was mcnf was blocked out here 5438 wow all that work and mcnf just buries [Applause] it we're under four 339 to play South down by 16 V horse for three no rebound trip puts it in 4440 but is it enough I don't think so with three and a half to play they're going to have to get some turnovers and exit is not obliging they go to the hole and they get the foul call [Applause] 22 with a foul it's going to be on Caravan and that looks like his first this is the part of the game to me Tom that when guys get a chance to go to the line they got to make them and that's just it st's got one foul so they're not going to

059be able to foul their way into it and put them at the line wow tell you what they got mcnf trailing here in the back court side is off goes out of pounds Southall 5550 319 to play South needs some kind of a run in a short amount of time to to put this game in some kind of chance for them but until they do that it doesn't look like it they can't take a lot of time Vander horse dribbling looking for a shot he's going to go up no passes to Caravan Caravan goes up foul CL offense travel no foul travel just travel on y travel floor is a little damp they wipe it up with their feet exitor will take it out underneath Nashville South full court pressure Caruso trying to pressure wow
