001[Music] we dribble into the front Court taking her time McCarthy sets a high screen forstein a three deep one is very good C it up to a piece three minutes gone by McCarthy A J from the Baseline FEA wait looking for a lane to drive get inside now K Corner make is good we'll dribble out the clock as she watches the time expire your Bedford Bulldogs are division one nhaa state [Music] champion There He Go good evening welcome to Bedford High gym here on this Thursday evening quarterfinal action division one girls basketball tournament between your number one seed Bedford Bulldogs and the number nine seed exitor blue Hawks hi I'm Harry kazlowski here with Mike top Mike these teams got here in two different ways Bedford of course had a very easy time with Central

002West took him down uh 70 7921 very easy time they they were in control from the very beginning meanwhile exitor had to fight their way back against do over they were down 19 late they came back took the game away very late 6561 yeah I mean this game you know it's it's you know on paper it looks like you know it's going to be one-sided Bedford won the regular season by 37 exitor being the nine seed they were 0 and seven against the top seven seed so you know when you look at it on paper yeah it looks like you know bedford's going to have an easy game but this is playoff basketball as you said exor has got to be hyped from that huge comeback against over um to get here and have the

003privilege to play here in Bedford against the Bulldogs back on January 17th the same exitor team came here to BHS jym they lost 7537 38 Point loss but you know everything changes in the tournament let's see what coach Kevin Gibbs had to say about this game earlier today we are speaking with girls basketball coach Kevin Gibbs coming off an opening round win over Manchester Central West 7921 coach from what you said about Central West we last spoke it looked like it was your team that was the one to apply the pressure to get up early and put the game away yeah that that definitely was our our game plan um we really worked hard at executing uh early in the game that was our intent so that we could uh get into a position where

004we could work on a lot of the things that we need to work on in in live action you always worry about your team being a little bit Rusty after having 10 or 11 days off and um and we were able to to knock that off pretty quickly and do some things that I wasn't sure we were going to be able to do that evening and and we were able to do so and do so successfully well not only did you knock off the rust for your starters but you actually gave your bench players a lot of playing time very early uh players that are likely going to be your starters next year like Isabella Landes Ella Allard Grace wolf They Carried the bulk of the minutes how do they do in your eyes exceptional

005um the whole intent all year has been to develop and give the I I'll call it the bench although we really don't think of them as strictly being our bench our additional players if you will the opportunity to to get a lot of live action and to uh kind of get a feel for what it's like to be in a playoff game and no one disappointed they really didn't the kids all performed extremely well and when you are looking to make that playoff run you want to make sure that you've got that deep bench that deep pool of of players ready and available to to come in and pick up where you left off and and a game like that gave us an opportunity to to really see what the kids are able to do

006and uh no one disappointed well you're on to the quarterfinals tonight you're facing an exitor team that fought its way back from a huge deficit against over and won it at the end what kind of momentum does that give a team to have a dramatic win like that a lot uh there's no doubt about it uh it it gives a team uh a sense of self-belief an ability to to come back from such a huge deficit I believe DOA was up by 19 at one point um shows a team that uh you never out of the fight and um and and that's actually the exitor team that we thought we were going to see earlier this year and they have since grown into being that type of Team uh we take no one lightly and

007uh although this may be a 1 18 matchup as I shared with the girls of the day right now there are eight teams that are 1 and0 there are 15 teams that are home watching wishing that they were one and0 and and actually there was no different they have earned their their uh entry into this quarterfinal round and and I'm sure that coach Rogers is going to have our team fully prepared um and the counter to that is we feel that we're pretty prepared as well so it should be a fun match yeah we're looking forward to a great game tonight coach so good luck and uh to your team as well good luck thank you so much coach Kevin Gibbs of the Bedford [Applause] Bulldogs starting lineups being announc right now exitor bluehawks number

017way they they have it to stand in this game is to make shots melik has to get the ball off quickly and she takes too much time gets a 5-sec call another turnover on the blue Hawks and now Anna mcginness comes in for illis now the Bulldogs take possession here 339 to go in the first and he zinc washed there by Keys Allard down low double teamed she had a little bump under there two tries at the bucket no good and now we're going to get a call on McCarthy holding number 15 Hannah out housee that's going to be the first one on [Music] Mel and the ball goes over to exer so Allard really getting roughed up a little bit under the bucket there but no calls [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here's exitor [Music] melik

018loses the ball heading for the sideline held in momentarily zinc gets to the ball first Bedford controls now Allard top of the key dribbles changes Direction goes to the bucket and lays it in Allard with six 175 Bulldogs to go with under three and it looks like Coach Ken Rogers is going to call a timeout here for exiter try to slow this Bulldog attack down they are up by 12 17 to5 yep and and similar to against against uh Central Bedford they're getting easy buckets it's not like they're hitting threes they're not hting jump shots they're getting layups right under the basket and she just doesn't want this game to get out of even more out of [Music] control waiting to hear from the other game the other 7:00 game Bishop girton number five seed

019against they're at conquered conquer Christian they were supposed to tip off at seven we don't have a report just yet the winner of this game will go on to play one of those teams and that'll be at exiter semi-finals always at a neutral sight we'll have the games for you if it's Bedford here on bctv in Bedford 1051 so Anna mcginness gets the inbound think able to tip the ball away from her oh they're going to call over him back that's I thought that zinc made the contact and I I think mcginness was trying to sell that but um it looked like just a a a Miss crossover so another turnover here for the blue Hawks inside to Mel McCarthy out to the corner to Sarah M she drives to the bucket had the ball

020knocked away picked up by Lexi Rogers quick lead pass up to Anna mcginness goes off her leg out of bounds so a great transition there by the blue Hawks they just couldn't finish the [Applause] play Bedford coming back 225 to play here they're up 175 here in the first quarter I should add here's Allard in the corner tries to get inside to McCarthy and they're going to say a foul I believe that's going to be on yes number 11 mcginness her first I like how exitor you know they they know they're under size so they're just they're playing rough uh they're grabbing they're holding them down trying to you know keep them from just getting those easy buckets here's Allard on the inbound kicks it out to Zin she's going to try the three off

021the glass good Andy zinc already has seven 20 to5 Bedford with two minutes to play here in the first here's sherp stop gets it in side there to C Lexi Rogers back to C knocked out by Bedford possession savs with [Music] exitor Sher full [Applause] [Music] inbound gets it inside de Cay bounces off Sher gets the ball right back and now quickly mcginness with the jumper as she gets on the score sheet she's got two pass over to Eva zinc almost knocked out of bounds here's Mel McCarthy going up for the layup as she gets fouled on the way up and I believe that's going to be Gillis it is number 22 getting her first foul that is the fourth team foul on exitor they just one away from the Bon or bedford's just one

022away from the bonus McCarthy one for one from or one for two from the foul strike make that one for three [Applause] Nicole melik back in the game Lexi Rogers comes out for [Applause] [Music] exiter McCarthy with another try here that one rims out so one for four from the foul strike is Mel McCarthy here's exitor Gillis dribbles into the corner to mcginness Tri splp the Bedford defense puts up a runner no good quick lead pass now to McCarthy off the glass and in that's a that was a great lead great finish a little bit of pressure here on the blue Hawks they're able to get over the timeline need the Zin guarding now the pass inside to Gillis and there's going to be a foul called here on Bedford it should be a shooting

023foul number three Annie zinc is the one who will be tagged with the foul her first 13 foul on Bedford and that first free throw by illis is [Applause] short she have another chance that one is good three points for IG Gillis 228 now Petri quickly back on offense into the corner here's Eva zinc for three no good M with the rebound gets it insight to Annie zinc ball goes out of bounds saved by exitor here they come Nicole melik takes the three off rebound by Annie zinc lead pass that was like that was like Brady to Randy Moss exactly exitor quickly coming back a wild layup no good watch them run here we go McCarthy going to the bucket and they're going to call what a blocking call no they're going to call travela

024mcarthy okay yeah it looked like the far ref was going to call a charge he deferred to the near ra and he called the travel well I think a travel is preferable to a charge yeah especially cuz McCarthy already has one so 14 seconds to play here exitor play for the final shot they're down 24 to8 5 Seconds To Go pass inside knocked away and it goes out of bounds with s the play here just enough time to get it inbounds and get a shot away maybe so illis will inbound it's knocked Away by the bull doged and we're going to end it right there 24 to8 is the score after one pretty dominant ating performance here by the Bulldog so far I mean that's exactly what I call it I don't think exor is

025necessarily not playing well they're just overmatch both size um and just getting the you know getting the ball in transition um you know it's just you know the Bedford can beat you multiple ways um fast break today it's fast break and then Allard and McCarthy inside and so extra doesn't have an answer for that scoring after one quarter an he zinc leads with seven points Sarah mure with four Eva in with two Kate Allard with six Mel McCarthy she's got five on the exitor bluehawk side it's Emma Gillis leading away with three points actually nle melik also with three she's got that was on a three-pointer and Anna mcginness with two points we at bctv in Bedford 1051 would like to thank our Underwriters for supporting our live Sports coverage including primary Bank the Wix

030to be on Lexi Rogers that's her second 13 fou this this quarter on exiter we got 535 to go and now quick on the inbound Allard gets gets it and lays it off the glass and good they've got she's got 10 3315 Bulldogs up Lexi Rogers to Emma Keys over to Sher who loses the handle pord takes it away they're going to call a travel there on Grace wolf it's either going to be a travel or paling you know carry so either way that's it's a turnover there on Bulldogs [Music] balls inbound to Anna mcginness coming up with the five minute Mark of the [Applause] half Lexi Rogers three-point try is blocked Allard with the rebound here's Grace wolf catches the pass kicks it back out to Allard the three no good but Bedford right

031there for the pickup Eva zc with the rebound she gets fouled and it is number 11 mcginness who get her third foul so already foul trouble here for the uh exitor bluehawks with their best player mcness collecting three and that's the fourth team foul on the blue Hawks you know this is similar when they played London der and London der's best player Sullivan gotten foul trouble and that's how bfu was able to come back into the game they're very similar players mcginness and and Sullivan think able to get both to drop she's got six points 3550 Bulldogs up by 20 see this is a catch 22 for the coach rexer you need mcginness on the court to get back in this game but you can't get let her get her fourth foul because then you

032have no chance so you know what do you do she pulls her early we'll see if Bedford can even get this lead up more Rogers over to Emma Gillis for the blue Hawks she runs right into Allard who ties her up and it's going to be possession arrow exitor the ball saves with the blue Hawks here Harley sherp in for Rogers back the Sher picks a little bunny jumper but it's off the mark Bedford with the rebound long lead pass to Allard able to catch it and stop herself before she goes out of bounds turns and puts it in the bucket and gets the foul for the and one basket is good and I believe it's is it em aillis 22 yes it is her second foul and more importantly that is the fifth foul

033okay that shot by Allard no good but she gets the rebound here's a three from Andy zenc also no good McCarthy rebounds ball loose in the air McCarthy gets it back it's a tie up and I think the Bulldogs have the arrow yes so lot happening there Allard misses her and one fifth team foul and exer puts the Bulldogs in the bonus Bedford with a couple of rebounds there unable to put it away and now in the inbound the ball is tied up again this time it's going to go to exitor looks like that slipped out of McCarthy's hands um definitely you know 37 points still not even halfway to the second it's it's it's going to be a high scoring one for the Bulldog we got a score now from conquer Christian after one

034conquer Christian up by 12 eight 12 to four over BG there's a shot bounces out Juliet laws with the rebound finds McCarthy with a great pass and she puts it off to Glass and in I mean law is only a freshman um she sat out all last year as an eighth grader and you can just see she's just starting to get back into that you know um you know full strength three-point Try by sherp is no good sherp with it again leaves it for Gillis get tries to get to Keys's inside that's knocked away Julia laws takes it away for Bedford here's Grace W Bedford starting to play some of their bench players Andy zinc inside to Kate Allard finds some room jumps no good ball rims out gets knocked out of bounds off a

035bed for player so exitor will maintain possession Jessica Mel coming in the game now along with Hannah out housee for exitor sherp comes out as does Emmy K's 323 to play 3915 Bulldogs are up an Allard for Aller substitution pass inside to Rogers gets it over to Jessica melik and what do we have here a foul or step out of bounds no just out it was just out on exitor it looked like so Gillis must have been standing on the sideline there not aware where her foot was turnover for the bluehawks Bedford get the ball back 311 the play in the half Y into the corner for Grace wall she takes a short jumper doesn't get the roll picked up by Jessica melik and she gets it up to Alexi Rogers here's Nicole Mel double

036team to Sister Jessica she leaves it right there for sure from Ser for Gillis and it's stolen away by mure and on the break is Mel McCarthy off the glass in I mean when when you're 6' one big is running the court like McCarthy does it's hard it's really hard to defend seven points now for McCarthy here's another steal she would added two more right there Mir Hatter got fouled it was a smart foul so is that Gillis with the foul that is her third foul em Millis so two exitor players already with three fouls with 230 to play here in the first half and as we mentioned before Bedford in the bonus so this is a shooting foul for Sarah M first shot no good hasn't hasn't been the best night shooting from the

037foul strip for Bedford Muro will get another [Music] that one rolls off no good so 0 for two out housee with the ball gets it over to Jessica melik she drives and a foul going to be called here on Ella Allard I believe so Ella Allard picking up a foul third team foul on Bedford here with 218 to play so an inbound here by exiter and it goes all the way into the back Court Bedford picks it up Grace wol gets bumped a blocking foul called on somebody on the blue Hawks it's going to be number 14 Denine in the game picks up the foul there so that inbound missed everybody and wolf was able to chase it down but she got hip checked on her way to the bucket so wolf yet to get

038into the scoring book gets that one to drop for her first point 4215 [Music] now wolf again [Applause] perfect 4315 now 213 to play Down Low Lexi Rogers here's a shot by Jessica Malik off the glass no good exiter with the rebound reverse layup no good another try and it looks like a foul on Ella Allard two quick ones there so this is a shooting file nope they're going to pin uh Gracie wolf with that uh foul it is a shooting foul for number 12 Jessica mik and Mel gets that for her first point and by the way that that breaks a 130 Run for the [Music] Bulldogs second try here by Jessica mik is good as well two points for her 4317 Beth quickly in transition Sarah mure calling out a play into the

039corner for Wolf she looks inside instead gets it back to mure almost had that stolen away and now from the corner Ella Allard shot no good rebound by McCarthy she fouled on the way up as I said you know long rebound McCarthy's a lot longer than anyone out there easy rebound goes in gets the foul so Jessica melik gets her first foul and McCarthy will shoot twoo [Music] that is good we'll call out real quick Mel's sister Lana and her last two Purdue games double figure scoring 15- s 11 and 8 she's fitting right in as a freshman of that big that Big 10 Basketball I when you see you know she's playing Indiana and Penn State those aren't you know easy schools to play 4517 McCarthy hitting those two free [Music] throws three for

040three on the night for Mel McCarthy 127 to go Ball's loose and Grace wolf steals it away and they're going to call Double [Applause] Dribble or correction that was Sarah Mir on the steal so I guess technically it was a steel but then she turned it over on the double dribble steel and a turnover Carly sherp inbounds Denine over to Jessica mik into the corner now Mori Ari knocked out of bounds by mure we're starting to see some more the bench players for the blue Hawks well they got the two girls in foul trouble right they don't they don't want to get them a fourth as I said it's rocking a hard place you're down 28 maybe roll the dice and let him play but Mel McCarthy takes a seat L Allard in now a

046division one we're in the quarterfinals so three other games going on tonight a final from lary the number two seed Lancers 5541 over number seven Salem that is final another close one number three Windham over pinket Academy 4441 that was a close one but the Jaguars able to close that out so seeds two and three advance and at the half conquer Christian the number four seed with a 2111 lead over number five Bishop girton so so far what do they call it chalk chalk I mean a lot closer I I personally thought Pinkerton was going to beat Windam um I'm I'm a little surprised by that but the close score you know shows that that 36 was really an even match um you know London Barry only beat Salem by about 14 that's you know

047I probably expected that so obviously Bedford you know handling business here it just um you know hopefully they they they don't get too complacent with these blowouts when they do play conquered you know Christian they're able to get the intensity they need to to beat them bford with a possession errow they all inbound here to start the half I did want to say hello and welcome to the viewers in exitor on Blu Hawk media Eric chelis and the crew glad to have you on board here for this broadcast hope you're enjoying the game Quick Pass underneath to Allard she is all alone puts it off to Glass and vetri pushes the score up to 49 that can't be the way exor Wanda scar this half you know they you know they want they want to

048get back in this game they give up a wide open layup M with the steal there b coming back Annie Zin pass across High to mure into the corner to AA zinc cutting across sister Annie puts it off the glass and in two easy buckets right off the bat 30 seconds in 51 to 20 2 another close call right there and they're going to call it travel I will say watching exra warm up at half they were bombing threes I probably saw eight in a row go in eight different girls they do have a lot of girls who can score who can shoot as we said they've had four girls get 20 or over but when the defense isn't giving you anything you can't hit shots yeah and the Bulldogs are known for their defense

049they're not going to let you take an easy three here's Sarah M down low to Allard inside to McCarthy not strong enough Ball's tied up it will be possession arrow exitor you can tell the game starting to go away Kate Allard gave up an open three to get it to McCarthy I think in a closer game she takes that [Music] three Bulldogs with the first four points of this half exitor yet to get on the board Anna mcginness with three fouls back on the floor She Drives the bucket lays it in eight points now for mcginness 5124 and he zinc she got hit on the way to the bucket triple team underneath is sherp and she has the ball Stripped Away cedre gets it back zinc thought about it now she finds inside mccy off

050the glass and good every time there's a loose bar mure just comes up with it I mean it it it's almost like it's it's a it's a magnet the ball to her she just always comes up with it mcginness to sherp Lexi Rogers now sherp once again mcginness drives tries to get into the corner partially blocked to Lexi and the ball stolen almost by AA zinc but she can't control it goes out of bounds wall will stay with exer 556 to go here in the third [Music] quarter inbounds here's SHP for three and she nailed it sh you know one thing you know that excites me for next year I talked about this when londondary came where there's a lot of underclassman each team only one senior starter so next year between Bedford London and

051exitor it's going to I mean it's going to be a battle here's AA Z she had the ball Stripped Away but McCarthy's there to pick it up now she kicks it out the Annie in Long three and she gets it 12 points now for Annie zinc 5627 Bedford and a turnover right there ball goes right back to the Bulldogs you know my eyes go down to my score sheet to fill it out next thing I know bf's got the ball back yes yeah with the with these girls you cannot blink here's Allard on the Baseline crosscourt to mure puts it up a little strong but that's because she was fouled so shooting foul here going to try to extend the lead to 30 and it's going to be caves Emmy caves with her first [Music]

052foul here's mure and she does just that 10 points for Sarah we got a a timeout in between the three throws here and while we've got a moment to free let's tell you about the boys basketball game they haven't played a game yet they've got a buy yep and last night was the opening round for the boys and we found out that Windam is going to advance and that's who we're going to play on Saturday here at Bedford High Gym 700 p.m. pip off on Saturday Bedford and Windom the quarterfinal right here on bctv at Bedford 1051 and for the ladies their semifinal is on Monday and you know the way things are trending right now with a 30-point lead I'd say the odds are high that bedford's going to be playing in that game

053we're waiting for the results from conquer Christian and Bishop giron 2111 is a halftime score there conquer Chris up we will face the winner of that game at exitor neutral court site on Monday semifinal then of course on the following Sunday if if we get so fortunate to win that game we'll be at UNH for the final I saw something which I know usually the girls and boys play right after each other I saw something I think the boys are on Saturday girls are on yes they are both both finals are at 4:00 both division one finals Boys on Saturday at 4 and girls on Sunday at 4: so yes again we will follow the Bedford teams as long as they are alive in the playoffs second free throw now coming up for Sarah M

054she hit the first one long ago and she gets the second you've got 5827 layup Off the Mark there by Lexi Rogers AA zinc with the rebound leaves it there for Andy zinc sahir underneath kicks it out to zinc who puts it off the glass and in badford is just moving the ball so well I mean they always do but today's you know I'd say special they're just i' I've seen at least eight what I would call dimes missed there by exitor now here's a short Jumper by Allard another another great pass by m to Allard 6227 is the score here and mcginness the sherp a running running jumper is short AA Inc with the rebound gets a Danny Zin mure inside to McCarthy too strong McCarthy gets the ball back but then stolen away

055they're going to call jump ball although the exitor player had possession when she hit the ground I thought that was a travel but I think in a 35-point game maybe maybe the the ref went the other way that was kind of a quick uh jump ball call there so be gets the ball out Annie zinc will inbound under the basket 411 to play here in the third quarter Bulldogs up by 35 at this [Music] point anny zinc thought about the three gets it off the mure now McCarthy at the free throw line that's way off picked up by exitor melik shot there by K no good but sherp gets the rebound she stops finds C C's double team and she will be fouled and it could be five or nope they're going to call it

056on uh Annie zinc she gets her second it will be a shooting foul for Emmy CES who's yet to get in the score sheet first one is good by mmy KS as I said another soft more even even the bench players underclassman um you know exter has got to go into next season thinking hey we could definitely be a top four team in this leag C hits the second one 6229 Bulldogs up mure to McCarthy inside to AA Inc had the ball knocked away stolen there by Lexi Rogers or exitor sherp now back to Rogers Rogers tries to split the defense and they're going to say double dribble there double dribble travel travel little both some sort of violation and turned it over 327 now to go here in the third Andy Zing taking your

057time gets it the mure into the corner to Eva en's going to try the three are actually a two and it's good eight points for EVN 64-29 block shot there AA Inc with the rebound ahead to Aller she drives to the bucket good another steal caused by mure fast break layup 6629 [Music] sherp the guard to mcginness watch there by AA zinc if basketball was like hockey I think year would get 20 assists a game the pass to the pass she'll get a steal long three there by sherp off the glass no good Bedford rebounds quickly up to Annie Jen who puts it in the bucket 6829 now Bulldogs [Music] [Applause] exit is going to their bench yeah the White Flag opening up here is a steal for the Bulldogs quick pass out to McCarthy

058she doesn't get it to drop it Allard picks up the trash and puts it away 7029 and it looks like wholesale changes here for the exitor blue Hawks they're going to play their bench players and I bet the same thing's going to happen with with Bedford you're going to see a lot of bench players coming out for both teams here as the lead is now 41 it's time to kind of admit the admit defeat throw up the white flag and I think so I think when you're playing a team like Bedford usually when you get eliminated in a playoff game it's a very somber s you can just tell the extra girls not that they expected it but they're okay with it they see the team they're playing and they're okay hey we got beat

059by a better team so no changes yet for the Bulldogs they still got the usual out there Grace Wolf the only substitution for the Bulldogs but in the meantime Jess Jessica melik is in as is [Music] illis and melik hits the three here's M with the running jumper too strong here gets her own rebound stolen away there by Gillis here come the blue [Music] Hawks Stripped Away there by mure now taken right back by Jessica melik Ball's loose once again it's going to be out of bounds off of Bedford exitor will retain control 126 to go in the third quarter Jessica melik tries the inbounds it's stolen away Sarah Mir gets it into into the corner to Allard she's going to try the three rims out but M there to pick it up on the

060rebound she puts it away 7232 Jessica mik now drives to the basket runs into McCarthy now for the three that was Denine too strong mure with the rebound gets it over to Annie zinc rebound no good but she's going to go to the foul stripe I do like how exor is still playing really aggressive they're getting shots up they just you know one shot half the time a steal I mean but they are going to the basket they're taking their open shots they're you know they're trying to score and he zin's first free throw is good 7332 with 54 seconds to play in the third [Music] no good on [Music] second rebound exitor Jessica melik tries to get it inside now to Gillis Gillis turns around she's going to be [Applause] fouled I think I

061think coach can to let the starters play through this quarter and then the fourth he'll put in the subs and he zinc picks up her third foul there first free throw good for Hemma [Applause] Gillis she's got four points missed on the second rebound goes to Bedford but they lose it out of bounds possession stays of the blue Hawks 37.9 to play here in the quarter [Music] Gillis inside to melik melik takes the three too [Applause] strong and hits the wire so considered out of bounds B for controls 30 seconds to play I think it hit the wire M out to McCarthy inside now to Allard she's triple team fights her way through and gets the basket in the end one 22 points now for Kate Allard I do want to clarify last Last Broadcast

062we didn't know or I didn't know the clock run it's 35 points in the third quarter the clock runs except on free throws and timeouts i i i falsely accused Owen Smith of not stop running the clock and he was free throw good Ste 7633 here's a three from the corner by Denine too strong rims out M with a rebound she's been getting all the rebounds lately out of bounds save attempt there by Grace wol couldn't do enough to do that so the ball will go to exiter 4 seconds to play here in the [Music] quarter Bulldogs up by 43 baseball pass knocked Away by McCarthy Denine tries to get it inside now here's a quick turnaround by melik it's no good and that's going to end the third quarter got an update now from

063conquer Christian they're still in front but with a minute 40 to go in the third quarter the lead is shrunk now to Seven Points conquer Christian 28 Bishop gton 21 so that's getting a little more interesting over there yeah I definitely think that that's there's a pretty big distance between that four or five matchup in my mind from what I saw when I saw each team play bedord I thought conquer Christian was a lot stronger than Bishop G so the fact that they're staying in the game is great we at bctv and Bedford 1051 we' like to thank our underwriting supporters for their support of live coverage of sports here on bctv and Bedford 1051 they include primary Bank the Wix Insurance Group Interim HealthCare of Manchester Nelson real estate of New Hampshire and great

064New Hampshire restaurants like t-bones and the Copper Door try to get you caught up on scoring so much happened in that quarter 17 points Randy zinc and 23 for Kate Allard those are the big scores so far Juliet lws had the ball get away from her tied up and it's a jump ball possession arrow goes to exiter so law is in the game as is Isabelle landies is's a long three no good landies triy to get the rebound they're going to say he went off for her nope they're going to say Bedford controls so laws inbound to McCarthy still in the game back to Andy zinc zinc carries in finds Ava Collins down low now she kicks it right back out lost to McCarthy for the three and she gets it it's always nice to

065see to see your you know your best rebounder also hit threes right now teams can't just guard her down low they got to come out on her ball gets knocked out of bounds by McCarthy so it'll stay with exiter 7933 Bulldogs [Music] up inbound down low there's a kick out to Sher and Sher gets the two-pointer [Applause] there she's got eight points now on the game McCarthy drives and they're going to call a charge on Mel McCarthy yeah kind of think that was she really got her shoulder into that yeah she was definitely determined to get to the basket somehow yeah so she really fought her way through and she earned that uh charging call under 6 minutes to go here to the bucket goes Nicole melik for two she's got [Music] five and we

066get a whistle and a timeout and I suspect that was coach Gibbs with the timeout we're going to see some wholesale changes in the lineups here start getting some of the uh bench players in Mor Ari Elizabeth Mori Ari for the uh exitor bluehawk she's got three points eight points for Anna mcginness seven for Jessica melik four for Emma Gillis eight points for Carly sherp five for Nicole melik 16 for Mel McCarthy 23 for Kate Allard eight for AA zinc Sarah M with 13 Grace wolf with two and any zc with 17 definitely a balanced scoring you know four you don't see that a lot for B four four girls and double figures that's six Bulldogs on the score sheet I think bford had 10 on the score sheet in the last game still early

067it's still early I think by the end of the day we have at least eight well now now we have the uh the backups in the game Knock except for of course Andy zinc she's still in there knocks it out of [Music] bounds Harley Sher to Lexi Rogers Emy k dribbles against Ava Collins stops tries to get an outlet here she's got to hurry ball gets knocked Away by Collins and zinc gets the loose ball zinc finds Collins underneath puts it up too strong second try by land's too strong and it goes out of bounds off of Collins so exiter will control the ball 5 minutes to go we are definitely in run time now 45958 7937 Bulldogs up Emy keys k I'm sorry here's the three no good rebound by McCarthy still in the

068game gets it up to zinc zinc to LW she gets hit on the way up and I believe that's going to be sherp with the [Music] foul nope they're going to call it on mcginness that is her fourth not that it matters too much at this point although mcginness is going to go to the to the bench with four fouls so 4:30 to play and the ladies here in about 4 minutes and 30 seconds will punch your ticket to the semi-finals at exiter against the winner of conquered Christian and Bishop girton they are in the fourth quarter now 707 to play conquer Christian pretty low scoring Fair here 30 to 23 drer Christian with the seven-point lead are we getting a a look at a look see at conquer Christian there I believe we are

069yeah six a little over 6 minutes in the fourth like you said low scoring game or or you could say good defensive game I don't know how you want to word it but um definitely whoever wins that game can't expect that in the semi-finals well conquer Christian uh bford had I mean bford had no trouble with conquer Christian I think get back actually they conquer Christian hung with him pretty tight for a half and then they've got a very short bench and V was able to overwhelm them just wearing out those starters anyway Juliet laws trying to get on the board and she [Music] [Applause] does one point for Juliet LW now Karina CI coming in now and Melody McCarthy will take a seat like I said she finishes with 16 points law second free

070throw is good so two points for Juliet laws 8137 clock is [Music] running sorry go ahead exer definitely isn't you know they got their starters in so they you know they're trying to play as hard as they can I know that you know they don't they can't imagine they have a chance of winning but I think they want to try to cut it to at least in the 30s Isabelle Landes with the block there gets it out of bounds here's a long three Lexi Rogers Off the Mark landy's with the rebound Andy zc is still in the game serving as a reliable ball handler ball handler and it looks like she will take a seat now and Ella Allard will come in for her so we have all backups now in the the game for

071Bedford the starters can take a seat knowing that they've took this uh game and put it away driving to the bucket laws she doesn't get the first shot now here's ell Allard her shot is blocked goes out of bounds who touched it last it was Bedford so possession goes to exitor with three minutes to play yep like I said five starters in exit are you know they're going to they're going to try to make a little run close out their season here's Nicole melik drives to the basket and down goes Isabella Landes and it's going to be an offensive foul on exiter bford is in the bonus now trying was 22 got that Emma Gillis so that she's got four fouls now and now exitor empties their bench in comes out housee in comes Jessica

072melik and Maya Denine out comes Emma Gillis with her four four fouls and Ella Allard will inbound to Juliet laws yeah what they what they have here is they've got their three seniors on the court obviously their last game they want to make sure that they close out the year land to camon en goes off her leg into the corner Nice Shot there yeah I mean by lws she's got [Music] four here's a three no good landies with the rebound quickly up to AA Collins Collins dribbling she gets bumped no [Music] call that's Ella Allard with the ball now up the laws 139 to play watch I mean landies Eva Collins long two too strong El Allard with the rebound a nice little rebound Lefty looks just like her sister right that that that must

073be a family thing L Allard with two she's in the score sheet here's [Applause] sherp and we got a timeout here no that just they just wanted to sub so oh okay now watch LZ you know she's only a freshman when when M and zinc graduate she's going to be the one running that point um getting those steals I mean she's quick she has great handles great great Court awareness good defense there too and that uh pass by number four Elizabeth Mor arti out of bounds thanks to that pressure by uh Juliet laws so 103 to go clock is running now down to a minute inbound to laws lws lost a handle there ball goes right back to sherp off the glass and [Applause] good 10 points now for sherp here's AA Collins back to

074laws Ella Allard drives off the glass no good rebound by Jessica melik may have been contact but obviously with 30 seconds left yeah they're not going to call it they're not going to call that nothing that light 22 seconds to play Gillis gives it to Jessica melik over to sherp dribbles now for the three in and out and the rebound to cam anny she's going to get a couple of free throws here she gets fouled nope nope they're just going to let the clock run out here she did get the foul but the clock is running and that's how the game is going to end 85 to39 is your final Bulldogs no problems with the exitor bluehawks and they will be advancing to exiter to take on the winner of conquer Christian and Bishop Burton

075that game with 5 minutes left 3223 conquer Christian in the lead so we're going to uh maybe uh just assume barring any major turnaround there that it's going to be number four conquer Christian that we play in exitor so a big game just start to finish non-stop pressure and scoring from the Bulldog yeah and as I I've said a couple times ex did not play bad I feel like they played their game um they shot okay it's just when you're playing Bedford and you're getting and they were forcing so many turnovers and they're only giving you one shot even if you shoot pretty well you're only going to score 39 points and obviously you you can't hold bitford under 70 points so um you know you know barring any huge mishap you know this was

076the result that people expected so Anna mcginness with eight points Elizabeth morard with three Jessica melik with seven em Millis with four Carly sherp leads the way with 10 Nicole melik with two and Emmy caves with two on the Bedford side Andy zinc with 17 Grace wol with two Sarah mure has 13 Eva think eight Juliet lws with four 23 for Kate Allard two for Ella Allard and 16 for Mel McCarthy thank you very much Mike to we've got Bill Jennings on camera Bill Carter hanging out with us thank you good to see you there Bill Carter Andrew F doing the replays thank you very much to everybody watching final score Bedford 85 exor 39 you're watching and listening to Bedford basketball on bcv and Bedford 1051 so long everybody [Music]
