High School Basketball Play-by-Play

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Yes, Today we are live atUpper sand Dusky, where the Rams are
sent to host a huge late seasoncontests versus the Buckeyes Central Buckheats at a
game that carries significant implications in thetight In ten race that will end one
week from today. Hello, I'mKirk Richard, so glad to have you

(00:23):
for some Saturday afternoon. Who's onMagic ninety five to nine? Our girls
high school basketball game of the Weekis presented by Matthew's Honda Hachiroo. All
the Buckets are the three time reigningIN ten champions. That reign will soon
come to an end as BC isout of the running for this year's conference
crowd. But their opponents, theUpper Sandusky Rams, are right in the

(00:45):
thick of it, just a gameback of first place, and the Rams
understand that a victory today is anythingbut assured versus a Buckeye team that has
significantly improved this season and that's comingoff a big upset victory over first place
Colonel Crawford. As it stands now, every N ten team has two remaining

(01:06):
conference contests, including the games beingplayed today. Colonel Crawford, as a
result of the loss to Buckeye,is back to being tied at first place
with Carrie. Both Carrie and Crawfordare playing road games today. Carrie is
at bu Cyrus this afternoon. Crawfordis at Winford this evening. If Usyrus
team that Carry is facing today beatbuck Gye Central in January by five,

(01:29):
and bu Cyrus is coming off winsversus Mount Gilead and Mansfield Christian. So
there's no guarantee that Carrie, thoughfavored, will defeat the Lady Red Squad
today, And there's surely no guaranteethat Crawford will beat Winford today, given
that Winford won the first matchup versusCrawford in the game that was at Crawford.
The results of those games will certainlymatter to Reper Sandusky, but the

(01:53):
Rams must focus on this game versusthe Buckets today. If the Rams win
next week, they will play Kerryfor at least a share of the inten
championship. If Colonel Crawford loses aday to Winford. Now, if Crawford
beats the Winford Royals today, theUpper Sandusky Rams with a win today still
would have a chance for a shareof the title. That chance would come

(02:15):
down to Upper beating Carrie in theregular season finale and Colonel Crawford falling to
Mohawk in the Eagles finale. Soa lot at stake and not much time
left in the season. So thisis a very significant game that we are
about to witness here at Upper.So looking at some team comparisons for our

(02:35):
game between the visiting Buckets and homeRams. When it comes to scoring,
Upper Sandusky does have a four pointand averaging forty one points per game BC
at thirty seven. Defensively, Upperholding opponents to thirty eight points per game.
BC's opponents have been scoring on averageforty three points versus the Buckets.
On the rebounding front, these teamsare closed Buckeye averaging three boards per game,

(03:00):
Upper Sandusky averaging twenty five turnovers.Light edge for the Buckheads, Upper
averaging eighteen turnovers per game Buckeye sixteenand a half. Now, looking at
threes, edge to Upper, withthe Rams shooting threes at a conference best
thirty four percent and making five anda half per game. The buck Catch

(03:20):
shoot threes and twenty seven percent andmake four threes per game. And finally,
on free throws, Buckeye shoots themat fifty seven percent uppers at fifty
three percent. Buck Guy gets justunder thirteen free throw attemps per game at
twelve point eight, and Upper Sanduskygets ten and a half attempts per game
from the free throw Live. Whenyou're thinking about some players to watching this

(03:46):
one, we'll go with the startingpoint guards both juniors and Buckeye Central's Neva
Metzker and Upper sent Dusky's Grace Waltonboth advanced ball handlers capable of blowing the
initial defenders, so that puts alot of pressure on the help defenders to
be there and to make some stops. Metzger is leading the Buckheads and scoring

(04:10):
assists and steals. Walton leading theRams and the entire inten and scoring assists
and steals as they continue to warmup out there. We've prepared a couple
of keys to the game from forSandusky. We're looking at quickness and communication.
On d The Rams must be readyfor the strong ball movement and one
on one quickness that multiple BC playersexhibit. The Buckcats play more of a

(04:36):
neess game, and defensively, theRams must communicate on screens, call out
switches, and utilize the quickness moreso than that interior physicality that the Rams
can effectively focus on versus some otherconference opponents. And as of note,
Ellie Hamm, who is a verystrong interior defender and scores from the post,

(04:56):
she is not starting in this gameto give a way for the senior
Bailey Fox. It is a seniorcelebration and Fox is the loan senior on
this team. So we'll give youthe starting lineups in just a fifth.
They continue with our keys to thegame. For Buckeye Central, they're gonna
want to focus on Walton and Newman. That backcourt. Grace Walton ignites the
offense sets of her teammates and halfcourt and transition situations and could drive to

(05:21):
the basket for layups and set upher own three off the dribble. The
Naddy Newman she can knock down threesas well and hit those mid range jumpers.
So BC likely will benefit from zeroingin on the guards, try to
put more pressure on Upper to goto the post for their scoring, which
largely is handled by the aforementioned Ellieham and Madison Harts. And finally for

(05:42):
both teams, forty four points thatseems to be a key number. Buck
Guy has scored forty five or betterin four games and one all four.
Upper Sandusky has scored forty four betterat nine games and won all of those
as well, So just something tothink about we look at this contest this
afternoon. As for the starters forthe visiting Buckeye Central Buckcats, say go

(06:06):
with five foot seven junior mar McDougall, five foot six junior Grace Colleen five
seven senior Ella Evak, five tofive junior neveah Metzger and five ten sophomore
Elise Seaffert for the Upper Sandusky Ramstoday, five foot six junior Addie Newman,
five to two junior Grace Walton,five to five senior Bailey Fox,

(06:30):
five seven junior Brook Finnscali, andfive to ten sophomore Madison Hart. It's
a little more than two minutes awayfrom the national anthem, so we'll take
a short break and bring you backfor that and get ready for the start
of this game. So maletter withus for Buck Guy Central and Upper Sandusky.

the last seaforth of Buckeye and acidHeart of Uppers won by Buck Guye.
As they move it right to left, we are opposite from the scorer's desk
to call this game. So whenis Metzker at the top of the key
working on Newman going to the rightpoint to Seafort holds it a buff her

(09:28):
head and back to Marra McDougall,who's a fine three point shooter. We
certainly saw that in the carry game. They get it back to Metzger to
the top two Grace Coleen right backto McDougall. Coleeen has it back at
the top of the keys, hiszone defense being applied. But they go
into the middle with Seaford smart move, but miss is on the shot trying
to track it down in the leftcorner and does to Metzger. Is buckeyekeep's

(09:48):

does Metzger. The buck Kent's playingaggressively here early up to McDougall.
Still no scores. We are fortyfive seconds into this first quarter and the
matchup we definitely want to watch for. Is Metzger and Walton when they get
together here right now with the zonethat's not it, but there is Wolden
on Metzger and Osker takes it atthe top of the key and now on

(10:11):
the switch and this newman ho Herjust passed to the left side to McDougall.
Very patient trip here for the Buckheads. Although they have gotten a couple
of shots up, but those offensiverebounds have helped, one from Metzger and
one from Seaford in the corner backup to McDougall. Ralph still working this
possession. We're a minute four orfive into a right side three. No
good. Seaford in the rebound fourWalton, it's the first trip for Upper

(10:33):
log pass ahead if it's calling tothe right corner. Newman lifts the three
in and out and rebound yank downbye efact Buckeye bull still scoreless. Min
and a half into this contest isMetzger to the right point two Seafer and
holds a ball be her head.A little hop on the pass. Metsger
to the right side, a jumpshot doesn't go for redback contact down low,

(10:56):
no call and out. With therebound is Walton bringing up left to
right right for Upper Sandusky. Noscore here. Then at fifty into this
first quarter, high left side Harddumps it down low Fox the layup got
it. So the senior in thestarting lineup in this game on senior day
against set First who for Upper Sanduskyins two to nothing. Ice passed from

(11:20):
heart so coleeen havelf deflected out byheart at the baseline for Upper San Dusky.
The sophomore has just continued to elevateher game over the course of this
season, so Grace coleeen to winbounded for black Eye looking for some help,
gets it up to McDougall. She'sable to track it down in the
back court and met defensively by Newman. Lucky Central trails in two to nothing

(11:45):
early in this contest. Top ofthe key to left point two who Metzger
regarded by Scoli this time let's goover the cross over to the left hand.
She's quick out of lockcher on tocoleeen at the left point headstarts the
top to the fleet, throw aline up to McDougall back to the top
of the key, has to leftare to left wing to Metzger around the
screen from McDougall, coach spaceline inside. He backed. The shot doesn't go
off the back of the rim reboundfit Scully. Good defense by Seaford,

(12:09):
but able to get it out toWolton four. Upper trying to add to
a two nothing lead. The Metsker'sall over to the top the Fox to
the left side to the right pointto Newman to the Fowle line extended to
Fitzcali the right corner to Walton tothree is up no good and the rebound
McDougall for Buckeye Central down two tonothing butching ahead. Grace coolein and Grace
Walton vowves Grace coolee. So firstfoul of this game is on Grace Walton

(12:33):
of Upper Sandusky so five oh twoon the first quarter clock right sideline him
bound for Kohli to Metzger has itjust inside the timeline is guarded here by
Newman. Just passed the left pointto McDougall, right back to Mesker right

(12:54):
side three carrams off the left sidethe lid and Bailey Fox with a box
out and then let it go outof bout to the left corner back to
member said Dusky. Yeah, BaileyFox. Yeah, she always brings great
effort out there on the floor.And yeah, coach vint uh he loves
the attitude that Fox brings as asenior leader to this team. So here

(13:16):
we go. It is Summersdusky ballWalton on the penetration slide for with a
left hander and dancing off the lidthough but against the call. So Grace
Walton to go to the free throwline issue the pair Eli Evac picking up
the personal for Buckeye Central five sevenseniors. So here is the junior Walton

(13:37):
at the line. The first freethrow is good leading this team Ben scoring
thirteen points per game. One morefree throw upcoming for Walton and it's through.
So she's got a pair and it'sfour to nothing, Upper said Dusky.

(13:58):
So back to work for the buckets. Some Metzker across the timeline,
push off over with the left handto left point, the falling extended to
McDougall working against Walton to the leftcorner to the van Metzger. Again it's
hard on her, this time hittingbaseline against three, gets it out to
McDougall to the top, slindering throughSeaford and scores in a lane. So
a lease Seaford with the first buckguy who fits four to two. So

(14:20):
Upper with the two point leading theball with four to ten to go in
this first corner, fast moving firstquarter. Here Walton the left side to
Newman pulls it back out to thefall on extended. Upper understands the importance
of winning this game. Have achance to possibly play for an in ten
Championship next week at Carrie as Foxhas at the high right side heads for

(14:41):
the free throw line to a leftpoint to Madison Hard driving in cut off
by Seaford, but off the hesitationfires it up and missus error for Hard
and the rebound for la Evac backto buckeye central van Metzger this time slowing
it up. But you never knowwhen she's just gonna the side to accelerate.
Newman knows that on defense at theright point two Seaford feeds it inside.
Colleen down to the corner to eVac holds above her head fire to

(15:05):
the pie to McDougall drives in leftside, cut off there by Newman whistle
and a tie up between Newman andMcDougall, and with the possession arrow with
his upper sand dusty ball. SoMacy Deppen and Ella Coleeen come on for
Marra McDougall and l e Vac forbuck Eye central, and Ellie Ham is

(15:35):
on for Madison Hard for upper sandDusky upper with the bull leading it four
two, three, seventeen to goin the first corner, Hire right side
for walking minding back with a dribbleand Metzger concentrated defensively and goes right around
the screen that was set by Vinscali, but stopping at the top of the
key. Walton over to Newman,drives in and cut off by Coleeen.
I think she's being called for theblocking foul. Greese Colleen her first personal

(16:00):
two team fouls on the buckets inthis first quarter, and Bailey Fox to
win bounded right sideline in the frontcourt for upper Sanduski of four to two
to the tops off Scully left pointtwo, Ham working on depping back to
Walton, bounced past towards Ham,and that one goes awry a little bit

(16:21):
wide and now the bounds of thebase line. That's the thing that Wolton
is always looking up, trying tofind her teammates. So back to Buckeye
down four to two. We're toforty nine to go in the first quarter.
Bluck Guy's had games like this beforewhere the scoring is slow and then
all of a sudden they get hot. Later, they got high to Seaffert

(16:42):
floating inside l E back pass deflectedthere by Fox that winds up with Race
Colleen back over to Metzger. RaceColleen with the ball high right side left
side to Seaford calling for Deppinsad togo up pie to Metzger. He had

(17:06):
a very patient trip here for theMuckheads. A left point two Seaford,
who has the one bucket for themuck Hip so far trail to get foward
to two up Hie to Ella Colleenwinds up pass picked off by Ham in
the lane, so upper ball leftto right head to Newman from Fitscali.
Newman on the drive breaks down thedefender. Seaford hits the layup, so

(17:27):
Annie Newman with the score her firstwho has upper leads at six to two,
one forty seven to go in thefirst quarter. The left side Ella
Cooley misses up the three and arebound for Walton. Long pass ahead deflected
by Metzger, but winds up withFiscali for Upper and keep possession pass it

(17:48):
side Walton layup Yeah for Grace Waltonwith the two, and it is eight
to two Upper Sandusky. As PhilLloy coles for the time out as a
thirty second time out for Buckeye Centralin this first quarter, with the Buckheads
trailing it by two points. Obviously, coach Loy in his first season leading

(18:11):
the Buckheads there was an opening whenAbram Caple stepped down after last season,
becoming an assistant coach and recruiting coordinatorfor Tiffin University's women's basketball program. Aben
Caple is here today. He isdoing some television commentary, so always good
to see him. Of course,Lloyd decided to return to the sidelines following

(18:34):
a five year break from coaching.It's for Looy, well known for his
fourteen seasons as head coach for BuckeyeCentral's varsity boys program from twenty four to
twenty eight. So here we go, out of the timeout, Buckeye Central
trying to get into a groove heretrailing get eight to two with one twenty

(18:55):
three to go in this first quarter, left corner McDougal, cross court pass
to Grace with the shot. There'scontact glucking fowl called on Ham and that's
kind of a tough call because there'sa little bit of extension there, like
Grace coleeen with that left arm.But if the official deem that Tam was

(19:15):
not in the legal guarding position,then that may have been the reason for
the call. But here we go, Grace Coleen free throw. First one
goes through for Grace she's a fiftypercent free throw shooter. Yeah, we
saw her, and Carrie thinks shewas exactly fifty percent on her free throw

(19:37):
attemps this time two for two,Grace Coaleen. If you cut the devis
in half so it's eight to fourand then pick off there as kind of
didn't see Metzger coming from behind,so they'll pick off there by Metzger.
So, like I said, withthe ball back along to McDougal as far
as there, track it down arebound left corner, Metzger back up to

(19:59):
McDougal, heads to the top ofthe key to the right point to Seaford,
and then her face offensively is Madisonhard fifty seconds ago in this first
corner, Seaford ups high to Metzger, drifts to the right side. It
is hard on hers to go backto McDougall. That's a drive, but
then cut off and working against Morrisat Seaford and miss fires right hand her.

(20:22):
Seaford gets it off as the reboundout to depping out to McDougall lits
for three year. Mar McDougall,you no discouting report, That's what she
does. She pulls buttkeye to withinone on that train and here comes Walton
her three try off the heel anda rebound off the bounds, taking by
metzger Well, I want to transitionagainst Walton this thunder step off the glass,

(20:44):
no good. Bulls loose and tryingfor office the rebound. Grace cooleen
out of bounds at the baseline offof her so up for sand Dusky.
He gets the ball back with eightpoint eight left in this first quarter.
It's happened. Hadney Newman comes backto the game, replacing Hope Morris for
a rupper him bound for kund ofto Newman across the timeline. Six seconds

(21:07):
left in the first quarter. Hito heart. It's the three front ard
known Newman with the offhensive rebound.As time expires. So at the end
of one insane tite one per Sanduskyeight buck guye Central seven. We'll be
back for the start of the secondquarter. So Glader with us for Matthews
Honaker A girls high school basketball gameof the leak called Mattic ninety five to

(21:30):
nine and I Heart radio Yes highSchool Basketball Magic ninety five nine. Here
at Upper Sandusky Home, Rams leadat eight to seven starting off the second
quarter against buck guys. The Bucketswith the ball driving in the lane with
a runner is Metskir. So theMayan Metzger the lead score from Mucky Central
with her first soup right there andgives the Muckets the verse lead nine two

(21:51):
eight member Sandusky with the ball massivehard kicks it out to the left side
of three up for Newman and thatcare comes off and the rebound taken by
Grace Coleen. So the buck hitsfor their first possession with the leads.
See what they do with it hereup high to Metzger, drifts over to
the right point guarded here by Newmanto the left point to McDougall, back
up high to Metzger. You hadtime out that Phil Lloyd called when Buckeye

(22:14):
was down a two. That obviouslyhas helped matters as they've played improved.
But that passed. But Metzger pickedoff by Walton coming to in the direction
for Upper Sandusky. If Mesker isthere to stay with their defensive, a
deficcutley to the right corner to Newman, up to Walton right point out to
the ham finds Walton against through adouble team. It's Coores just keeps the

(22:34):
concentration regardless who's around six points forGrace Walton hits back to an Upper Sandusky
lead ten to nine just a minuteto twenty seconds into this second quarter to
the corner to Evac up high toMcDougall, who hit a three in that
first quarter, to the right sideMetzger, over to Grace Cohleey back to

(22:56):
Metzger, rowing baseline lefts on toEphak up high to McDougal. Wants an
under three, this time off theleft side and the rebound Madison hard upper
Sandusky ball to fit Scully across thetimeline left to right with a one point
lead in this second quarter, toohard back to Fitscully left point to the
right point to Walton, quick releasefor three. That's off the heel off,

(23:18):
it's a rebound. Hart puts itup, No good gets it right
back. Does Madison try it again? Contact down Lowa tie up there has
Macy Deppin got her hands in there, so this time with the possession arrow,
the ball goes to Buckeye Central.So Alison Wright making her first appearance
for buck Guye this afternoon, thesenior for the Buckheads five foot ten,

(23:45):
coming in for Macy Deppin and BaileyFoxtons for Upper, Sandusky for Madison Hart
so here coming to the Rams leadingat ten to nine. A couple of
minutes into the second quarter and afoul called as Walton. If you're going
to the ball, it's on thevan Metzger so first personal on Metzger,
first team foul on butck Kye.In this second quarter it's an Upper with

(24:10):
the ball frigguring it in Fox leftsideline of Anscalia Pie too. Walton goes
between a rings head toward a leftpoint, finds a cutter. Newman shot
a block by Seaford out of boundto the baseline. That's good defense.
There by Elise Seaffert hitting all ballon that's one so baseline and bound brace
Walton for Upper with the one pointlead, five point fifty to go until

(24:32):
halftime to Newman at the right point, drifts a pigh to left point two
Fox on a fake heads in goesback out to Newman. He's room defensively
by Seaford to pass inside, inflectedby the buckheads with the Seafort we get
a another tie up the guy withthe ball some five point thirties five to

(25:00):
go until halftime as Seaford brings acrossthe timeline and Minea Metzker drives in with
the right hander, short arms andwhistle, and it's gonna be an offensive
foulcohol. So that's two personals onthe Veya Metz curve. See Coachlly keeps

(25:22):
her in. We do see GraceColeeen is coming on for Metz curve,
so my cats will try to buysome time here. They are trailing it
upper with the ball leading at tento nine with five twenty two to go
until halftime. I'm the parachuting topass inside the heart. As it's deflected,

(25:45):
it goes just out of bounds offto the rams, so it's right
back to Buckeye the Seaford baseline,imbound to Grace Coleeen across the timeline.
That's the left corner to eat backup Hie Seaford left point. That pass
deflective Walton, but it winds upwith Grace Colleen in the back court and
brings across the timeline for a Buckeyegets a double team to the right point.

(26:08):
Seafort right foul line extended to makeDougal dribbles up towards the top and
she is between the rings and standson the r of the Rams and big
court logo right corner to Seaford,jumps it into Eva's not right side,
no balls loose underneath, wrestling matchfor it and pucklinging it out is Madison
hearts up her ball that's the rightwith Grace Walton leading it ten to nine.

(26:32):
Hesitation dribble cut off by Evac upto bring Kundam to the right side,
to heart and to Fox left open, doesn't take the shop and gives
a Walton who does take the threefront hour no and hard going for another
offensive rebound, but could not saveit from going out of bound. So
it is Buckeye bull again, leavingfour twenty seven on the second quarter clock.

(26:52):
So definitely a defensive game we've gotgoing on out here, as Grace
Walton will get some risks for theRam replaced by Brooklyn Scullys Macy Deppin coming
back on for Buckeye replace Allison rightall right for twenty seven to go second

(27:14):
quarter buck Guy with the ball trailto get ten to nine and Upper Sandusky
bringing it up Grace Colleen to thetop to Seaford to the free throw line.
Evac left point two Colleen three offthe front arm rebound track down evac
buck Guye keeps the ball to theright point McDougal guarded by kind of help
defense comes from Newman to the leftpoint two seaf four to three, missus

(27:37):
it all can mcdoubaal safe and gether left hand on it. Button winds
up going out of outs head backto Upper san Dusty. So Grace Walton's
rest was brief. He's back ontothe floor replacing Bailey Fox. So what
is Walton kind of Finn Scully,Newman and hard out there for Upper Sandusky

(27:59):
on offense leading at ten to nineto the right corner to Vin Scully to
the top of the key, Newmanleft point to condif back over to Walton

right side, throws up with theright handed scores on the layup. Nice
drive or Finzcully her fur shoot bythe game. It gives up her a
twelve nine lead three thirty seven agountil halftime. See foot into the front

(28:21):
court, almost goes into the backwardYes, she did, and she just
called for her teammate helped me Ijust saw to say that over to the
grace Colleen, so that communication isobviously important in games like this. So

(28:47):
Vya Metzger back onto the floor forBuckeye Central and on defense right Condiff with
the dribble up high to Finn Scully. It was right side another lamp attempt,
this one too strong, and thentry to get to the offensive rebound,
but out of bounds was Fin Skolli. So it is Buckkeye ball once
again, trailing at twelve nine withthree thirteen to go until the halftime break.

(29:10):
A bound Seaford to Metzger, walkingit against Nscalie, back over to
Seaford, across the timeline to aleft point to Coleen no off of her
foot, but she's able to saveit from going out of bounds at the
left sideline, gets back to theright point to Metzger overhead passed to Colleen,
so the left fell unextended into Edsgurand shined. Macy Deppen scores and

(29:30):
against the call, so a continuationfor Deppin. So massive hard calling called
for the personal for upper. SoMacy Deppin, with an opportunity to tie

point to race. Walton leads upto the top of the key to the
free throw line to the left sidethe pie right to Finscali right wing,
and it's the three. We're cuttingthe footing out weak side rebound, taking
offensively by hand, reaching, instepping, and another tie up in this
time Upper Sandusky retains the ball withthe possess and arrow. So Walton,

(30:41):
with her six points went bound tothe baseline four percent Dusky leading at twelve
eleven to twenty four to go inthe second quarter and bounding it to the
Sculli right back to Walton right theleft point, back up to Finscali takes

Addie Newman, shooting into fifty sevenpercent this season. Home Morris comes in
for Brent Kunda for Upper se andDusky is a second free throw on the
way for Addie Newman. It's up. It's good, so Newman makes the
pair. She's got four points.It's fourteen two eleven, Upper San Dusky
buck eye ball. One fifty togo until halftime. Metzgercross the timeline with

(32:34):
a crossover up to Seaford at theleft point. Pass deflected by Newman winds
up with Metzger jumper at the rightarc. Does it go? Deppin,
unable to save it from the baseline, falls down on that attempt. Good
effort by Macy Deppin, but itis nonetheless Supper Sand Dusky ball. The
buquets not showing full court press otherthan Metzger staying with Newman, who accepts

(33:00):
the inbound takes it across the timeline. One and a half to go and
tell halftime leading by three, andthe three is up for Hart sitting it
out, all tipped out there forHam, and Ham called for a foul
trying to get to that rebound workingagainst Deppin. So Ellie Ham, that's
her second personal. So you're shakingyour head on that. I think she's

(33:24):
frustrated by both of the foul calls. The other one was when Grace Colleen
sort of came into her with thatelbow. But here we go other side,
Metzger into the lane. Missus getsher own off with the rebound out
to mcdogle for the tie three offthe heel offs the rebound deepping buck Eye
keeps past, deflected by Newman andthen fouled there by Grace Colleen. Wow,

(33:45):
so Newman got to that ball andColleen with a little shove sleep second
personal on Coale. All right,So it is Hard Walton, Vron,

(34:05):
Scalie, Fox and Newman on thefloor for per Sendusky with the ball leading
at fourteen to eleven, final minuteof the first half. That's Heart taking
it at Deppen. Double team comesfrom Seaford to Pie if it's called the
left point two Walt hesitation dribble tothe left corner to Newman working on evac
help comes from Deppen a Pie leftside Walton Rams might be holding, but

(34:29):
if they have a good shot opportunity, I'm sure it'll take it. Fox
high right side, crosses over lefthand, looks taken the basket. That's
a saving from the baseline, butgoes out about so leaves thirty one seconds
in this second quarter. Getting towardhalftime, see for they and bounds of
Metzger, an opportunity for the bucketsto maybe draw even with a three.

(34:51):
Let's see she from across the timelinebounces a free throw line Evac out the
Mark McDougal with three point Land passesout of it to Metzger. Heads towards
a lane. She weaves through backcup pie of Seaford eighteen seconds left down
by three, heading toward half timewith a few dribbles to the right point
to bets girl off a hesitation,hands it off Jim McDougall to the top
of the key the left side seafor six seconds ago Seaford in the lane

(35:14):
shot the curls off ball tipped outof bounced by Evac, leaving three seconds
for Upper add to the three pointlead. As Ella Colleen coming into the
game to replace Navana Metzger. Yeah, don't want her to get another foul
here, she's got the two personals. It's a good call by Coachlly and
bounding it here to Fitzculi. Thenwe'll she throw it up. She just

(35:37):
doesn't even bother with a shot.So that will do it for the first
half of play. A competitive one, a low scoring game, definitely a
defensive battle. But as we learnedfrom that Carry Buckeye game, the offense
could heat up in the second half. We shall see, So we'll get

(35:59):
you ready for a Reinsurance Agency halftimeshow. It's just some stats from this
first half obviously get you ready forthe second half of playing. We'll talk
a little bit of RPI as well. At the half, it is Upper
Sandusky fourteen buck Guye Central eleven.It is our Matthews Handaker Girls High School
Basketball Game of the Week. I'mMagic ninety five nine at iHeart Radio.

(36:22):
Oh Yes, high School Basketball.Magic ninety five Nine's our read Insurance Agency
halftime show. At the half itis Upper Sandusky leading buck Geye Central fourteen
to eleven for our Matthews Handaker GirlsHigh School Basketball Game of the Week.
We are the early game, soyeah, we won't have other scores,

(36:45):
but definitely interested in Carriet Cyrus.They'll be playing later this afternoon. Yeah,
their start time would be about onethirty. That's very important game.
Carry obviously controls its own path toan End ten championship. If the Blue

(37:06):
Devils win out, they will bechampions. Same for the Colonel Crawford Eagles.
But they've got a tough one thisevening versus Winford. Yes, so
that will be coming up later,and we know the implications of that game
to this game we're doing here.If Crawford falls in that game, where
Carry's going to secure a share ofthe Inton title if they ultimately win in
their own game versus b Cyrus,and Upper will get an opportunity to join

(37:29):
Cary for share of the title ifthe Rams win this game here versus Buckeye
Central. So that's how things couldplay out. But again, if Crawford
does win that game versus Winford,Upper still would have a chance for a
share. Again, they would haveto be Carrie in the regular season finale

(37:51):
next week, and they would needCrawford to win. We need Crawford to
lose that final game versus Mohawk.Mohawk today is at Seneca East, so
that is another inten game. They'llbe played this afternoon. Certainly when it
comes to the tournaments and the RPIsthat's how everything was able to shake out

(38:16):
this time around. Looking at theNorthwest District one in Division three, that's
got four in ten teams and thenwith Bucyrus, Colonel Crawford, Uper sand
Dusky, and Winford. Winford isa five seed, Bucyrus a seventh seed.
They're going to play each other onThursday, February the twenty second at
Winford and the winner of that gamewill face Colonel Crawford, which has a

(38:37):
number two seed, will host sectionalfinal versus either Winford or Bucyrus that'll be
on the twenty fourth. One ofthose three in ten teams will claim a
sectional title. We'll move on toa district semifinal versus either number one or
number three seed a clear Fork ornumber nine Huron also could be number ten

(38:57):
Collins Western Reserve. Upper Sandusky's inthe bottom half of the Northwest District one
bracket. The Rams carry a fourthseed and we'll get a first round by
before hosting either number six Willard ornumber eight Edison in a sectional final,
and that game will be on Saturdaythe twenty fourth. If the Rams win
to sectional, they'll move on toa district semifinal, most likely versus the

(39:19):
number one seed Margaretta, with theother options being number eleven ask In Crestview
or number twelve Gallion. That districtsimifinal will be played on Thursday to twenty
ninth at Shelby. Looking at Divisionfour in a Northwest District two a couple
of inten teams there in Carrion MohawkCarrie as the number one seed, we'll
get a first round by before hostinga sectional final on Saturday. The twenty

(39:42):
fourth. Opponent will be either HopeWell Loudon or New Regal, and Mohawk
as a four seed, gets afirst round by before hosting a sexual final
on Saturday to twenty fourth as wellDupon it will be either number five Tiffon
Calvern or number eleven Van lou Now. If Mohawk prevails, Warriors could wind
up facing Carry in a district semifinalon Thursday to twenty ninth at Fostoria.

(40:05):
The district final set for Saturday,March The second half Astoria the potential opponents
from the top half of the drawnumber two Arcadia, number three Macomb,
number six Old Fort, number sevenArlington or number eight Riverdale. In Northwest
District one. Sticking with Division four, Cine East has a seventh seed and
is to host number nine cress Lineon the twenty first buck Gye Central,

(40:29):
the team we're seeing here today andnumber eight seed gets the first round by
the Buckhets on Saturday to twenty fourth, will either visit number one seed Lakeside
Danbury or host number twelve seed Lucas. And then in Division three Northwest District
four, we've got Colonel Crawford secondto Margaretta. Colonel Crawford's currently in position

(40:52):
to face his number eleven Ashton Cresview. So we'll see how everything plays out
of a lot of different scenarios inthis Yeah. So here we're about twenty

(41:14):
seconds away from the resumption of ourgame. So obviously the tournament is one
thing, but in ten championships stillto play for. On the Emperor Sidusky
side, like I said, forBuckets, they certainly understand what it means
to be champions. They the threetime reigning champions. Although while they're running

(41:38):
this season and we know that theyare looking to rebuild things with Phil Loy
at the hell in his first seasonas a head coach for the Buckheads.
All right, so players back onthe floor. So here we go for

(42:00):
Buckeye Central trailing at fourteen to elevento start off this third quarter of Van
Metzger to point guard out there withMar McDougall, Grace Colleene, Elise Seyffert,
la Ephac. They have maintained theirstarters as we get a foul up
high from Bailey Fox, So I'msaying Dusky's starters are same as well,

(42:22):
Bailey Fox, Addy Newman, MadisonHart, Gripton Scully, and Grace Walton.
So buck Guy with the ball trailing, get fourteen to eleven first minut
until the third quarter, and weget a deflection there for Newman, but

(42:42):
Metzger are able to maintain possession ofthe ball. That's the free throw line,
e back to the right side toGrace Molino throws it into the back
court. Mar McDougal tracks it downas she knows that is an over and
back violation, so turns it overback to upper Sandusky. So Madison Hard

(43:04):
to inbound the ball right sideline infront of her own bench in the back
coward to Walton, brings across thetimeline guarded by Metzger to the right point
to Finch Collie dripping on mcjugal withthe good defense, tries to hold the
pivot foot and she looks for somehell fine to cut her heart and shoots
it up over sea for no goodseat for with the rebound from Cough to
buckets with the ball again trail againstfourteen to eleven. So we're minuted into

(43:25):
this third corner. Make Dugald tothe left corner to Metzger and passes through
the hands for teammate Epac, whofalls on the floor to get the ball
back intoto Grace Colleen into the bodyof Fox and a plucking fowl call a
bailey Fox who puts her hands upin the air. Oh that's a tough
call. She seemed to be ingood position, got bail over there,

(43:45):
but that's the call light shots guess. Well, well yeah, and Grace
Colleen, that's the second time thatshe has gotten the benefit of the call.
The other time was against Elle Ham. So here we go Grace coleeen
and she makes the free throw.She's the perfect three for three from the

(44:06):
line so far in his game.Ellie Ham coming back onto the floor for
Upper, replacing Bailey Fox. Sowe get a second free throw for Grace
Coaleen. It's up and she's fourfor four from the line. So Grace
Coleeen pulling buck Guye two within theone fourteen thirteen went back to Upper Sandusky

(44:30):
with Finch Scoli to the right cornerto Newman. We will drive towards a
lane, back out too hard tothe top two Fin Sculli heads to the
right wing. It's a good defensethere by McDougall to stop him. Point
to Newman to the right, pointto Walton into the lane just inside the
free throw line, passes the rightside two f in Scullie sending a screen
Ham, but Scully goes around itto the top. Two Walton against the

(44:52):
double team from Metzicer and McDougall passthe left side. Newman heads towards the
baseline come off by Colleen needs somehelp back up to the top. Up
to Walton leading by one with athree left side and trains in pace to
the Dolphin say Grace Walton knocks downthe tray, giving Upper a seventeen to
thirteen lead, nine points for GraceWalton, So Neva Betzker into the front

(45:15):
court. I passed left side toMcDougal into the lane to Seaford, who
falls down, I mean drolls.Some contact foul appears to be on Grace
Walton. Yes it is so,second person all on Walton and three team
fouls on Upper in this third corner, already just two minutes four seconds into

(45:38):
it. So Baseline him down Grace, Colleen and the past pack deflicted there
by Heart but winds up with EliaFact who loses the ball right at her
own buckeye pinch right off her righthand. So gives the ball back to
up Er Savan Dusky, so Waltonto inbound the ball sideline to Vince Cooling

(46:01):
into the back court, walking acrossthe timeline, leading it to seventeen thirteen
I forty five to go. Onthe third left corner, three wolt and
another one this time missed it allright into the midst of Seaffert long past
ahead. Evax shot left winger LlyEphak is able to hit the jumper her
first, who pulls but Guy towithin two upper ball to the top part

(46:24):
four three can and out and arebound down low for Revac this Buckeye ball
an opportunity to get the game.Retie, make me take the lead on
this trip, trailing its seventeen fifteenMetzger dumps it in to Seaffert and then
reaching foul on Ellie Ham extends ahand to Seaford to slow to get up

(46:52):
versus. So the thirty second timeout called for Jerry Vinn number Sandsney with
five ten to go in this thirdquarter in Upper Sandusky leading against seventeen to
fifteen, and the Rams certainly understoodthat this was going to be a tough
game, but nonetheless such an importantgame, you know they gotta win this

(47:15):
one. She called for the thirtysecond time out, but he only used
fifteen seconds of it. He's sentfor the players back out there, but
coach Loy continues to talk with hisbuckheads. So for Upper Sandusky you've got
Vin Scully, Ham, part Walton, and Newman, and for Buckeye still

(47:40):
their stars as well, including EliseSeffert at the free throw line. First,
then it's good for Seaffert has threepoints and Brent kundaffon for Upper to
replace silly Ham. Second free throwfor Seffert, five ten sophomore that one

(48:01):
dribbles out and a rebound for Hardso upper Sandusky maintainment lead. It's by
one into the front cord, gothe rams with Newman at the right corner.
Feeds it inside hard working one onone against Seaford. Healthy comes from
Colleen up high to Condiff to theright point to Newman, right back to

(48:23):
heart. Then he gets it backand here comes a steal there aggressively by
e Fact work one on one againstfisc Colleen transition stop by Fitzcali Evan gets
it up high to Metzger to theright side, big Toogle gives it up
Grace Colleen for three off the markand a rebound four Madison hard A Zupper
continues to lead at it's seventeen sixteeninto the front cord kind of heads over

(48:45):
to the right point two fin scullingback Walton. Another three is up in
the air and that's good Grace Walton. She's in double figures with twelve.
He gives up for Sandusky a twentysixteen lead back to work as Metsker quickly
to the front court against Newman.Newman stays right with her and maybe just
a bit too close that time,just placing her a bit with that left

(49:07):
fore arm. So the personal ison Addy Newman her first. But here's
the thing. That's five team foulson Upper Sandusky in its third quarters.
So with this year's rules, itdoes put into Betsker to the free throw
line for backa Eyeveya's first free throwlen er no Heya Metzker, very talented

(49:34):
player, certainly the most experienced playerremaining for this team. Second free throw
for Nvea. That one goes soone for two at the line there for
Nevea. Metzker pulling buck Gye towithin three. So it's Upper Sandusky ball
leading at twenty to seventeen. BabyFox back on the floor, fives to

(49:55):
cutter Newman underneath Shaw block by Seafert. That's her second block of the game.
She's timing them well his back forBuckeye within the possession a dribble drive
here Metzgar to the right side rightwing jumper is going for a la Ephac
second hoop for Ephact so Buckeye withinone. It's twenty to ninety Upper with
the leading ball, and so manytimes Walton's been the one to get a

(50:17):
bidilla to Newman her three off thelid ball heading out of bound to the
right corner as mcdogle lets it goas Buckeye gets the ball back down one,
another opportunity for Buck Guye to getthe lead. Pack went to the
front court mcdougle left side. Thislog shot epact doesn't go left side repound

(50:44):
for Heart log out left passing tothe front court, Walton takes her own
shot for three. Missed it allright there, Grace Walton. She is
a player who always has the greenlight because she typically rewards you with makes.
But that one obviously did not work. So Addie Newman comes off the
floor for upper replaced by Brooklyn Scully. Was Buckeye Central Bowl trailing at twenty

(51:09):
to nineteen with three fourteen to go. In the third pass, the fuck
is sold by Walton or third steal. Here we go. Grace Walton quickly
into the front court, weaves aroundthe defender Seaford missus and Seaford gets to
the rebound for Buck cod So anotherchance for Buck Gye. Central down one
under three to play, and theyare used to tight games, they can

(51:31):
make things difficult on the opposition.Going through the double team, Metzger lost
it for a moment, but regainsup to Seaford three and the lead off
the heel gets her off into rebound. Learn try for two heads off the
mark and Madden harden another rebound forUpper Sandusky outlets it to Vin Scully along
the right sideline into the front courtfor the rams hesitation dribble looking to break

(51:52):
down to defender Mary McDougall, who'sable to come up with this steal with
some help from Macy Teppan come backfor Buckeye Central trailing at twenty to nineteen
to the right corner to Grace Khaliordered by kind of help. Defense comes
from Vin Scullion into the full switchFinn Scully's on her passing the right point
to Metsico, pass deflected in thefourth steal here from Walton and the pass

(52:13):
deflected down the bounds. It isUpper Sandusky Paul So Grace Walton who leads
the intent in steals, averaging forcesteals per game four and a half.
Actually she averages she has four inthis one. She recently pass carries Kelsey
Bergsby in that department. Both ofthem just fabulous in that area. Here

(52:36):
we go I left corner Fox andwe get a whistle maybe away from the
ball, and we saw Hope Morrisfall down and Grace Coleeen called for her
third personal for Buckeye Central Sola Evacshort rest. She's back onto the floor
to replace Grace Kohali Ella Colleen.She is also out there for buck On

(53:05):
right corner Upper Sandusky. The foxat the top the cind of three off
the heel no, and the reboundevact is able to track it down for
buck On. So the Buckheads withthe ball freely get twenty to nineteen,
still one forty seven to go anda deep three evac off the glass doesn't
go off of the rebound Seafferts.He gets a triple team back up to

(53:28):
evac to the top of the keyto Mesker digs in with the dribble out
to Ella Colin. Her long twodoesn't go rebounding the lane Metzger offensively.
They're ripping at it and probably atie up. Yes, So Grace Wolton
got her hands in there for UpperSandusky and a arrow it is back to
Upper Sandusky. Madison Harts back ontothe floor for Upper Sandusky in four Hope

(53:51):
Morris, so it is kind ofWalton fox with heart rubber Santusky leading at
twenty to nineteen to go in thethird Walton on the penetration turns up with
the left hand and gets the call. So Grace Walton ready to go to
the free throw line and Elise Seafordpicking up her second personal for Buckeye and

(54:15):
two team fouls on the Buckheads hitthis third quarter, Grace Walton here at
the free throw line. First freethrows up and good. They gave two
point leads and got thirteen points.Junior has never missed a game in her

(54:36):
three seasons. This game versus buckGuy is Grace's seventy first varsity game and
start. The second free throw doesnot go for Walton, so she's at
thirteen points. Rupper leads to twentyone to nineteen. Buck Gye with the
ball Metzger against a double team atthe corner, trapped passes Outfit gets it

(54:57):
right back from Melkoline and the ball'sloosen and then stolen out there my Kundiff
and then ball heads out of boundsoff of Seaford, so Upper gets the
ball back with fifty nine seconds ago. Another Lelly Ham comes out there and
looks like yes, phil Ley hasspread the arms. He wants a full

(55:20):
time out for Buckeye with fifty nineseconds remaining in the third it is Upper
Sandusky twenty one Buckeye Central nineteen fromMatthew Sondaker Girls High School Basketball Game of
the Week Call Magic ninety five tonine at die Heart Radio. Yes.
In this final minute of the thirdquarter, Upper Sandusky with the ball high
left three Walton tickles off the lidand then goes out of bounds. Who

(55:44):
touched it last? So it lookslike Upper did, so it's back to
Buckeye. Brooklyn Scolli is on fairlyham for Upper all right, so full
core press being applied by Emper Sanduskyas seat for looking to it bounce into

(56:06):
Deppen right back to Seaford and getsit up to Bets Curves still in the
back court that's to get it acrossthe timeline and does head sort of left
back to the right on the spinmove out to Seaford four to three and
the lead doesn't go off the rebound. Deppen and Macy Deppin fouled on the
way up for buck Keye ready togo to the line. Madison Hard picking

(56:30):
up the personnel for Upper her secondpersonal, and so here we go Macy
deppin' at the free throw line.She's good at that. She's got three
points, a chance for the tiedeeping it's up old front lid no and

(56:55):
the rebounded scully for upper while theRams just find a way to just hold
on to the lead by two orone point, and right now is by
a point. Fifteen seconds left inthe third quarter, twenty one to twenty
to the right side to fiscalie.Yes, she's looking for some help to
the top two Newman five seconds leftin the third falls down whistle and a

(57:19):
foul call or reaching there perhaps onla ephak she was the one over there,
and yes, that is the onewho is called for the personal.
Ephakt her second personal at three teenfouls a Buckeye third quarter. Only three
and a half seconds left in thisthird quarter is Madison Heart on the sideline
impound looking for somebody to break free. Gets into Walton. She's a good
option. He goes up all Ithink they called the foul. Metzger got

(57:45):
some ball, but maybe some armas well. That was closed. Soma
Metzger, picking up her third personalas Grace Holton to the free throw line,
said Dusky first free throws up.Yep, that's good. Back out
to a two point lead for Waltonand the Rams. In the first matchup

(58:14):
versus buck Guy. She led UpperSandusky with sixteen points which is going for
fifteenth and hits it makes it twentythree to twenty leaving one point four just
imbounding it to Ella Colleen. Yeah, that's not enough time. Metzger does
give it a try after the buzzer, but that'll do it for three quarters
of play. It is the firstSandusky twenty three and buck Eye Central twenty

(58:40):
back for the fourth for our girlshigh School basketball Game of the Week on
Magic ninety five to nine, presentedby Matthew's Honda Achiro. Here we go,
starting off the fourth quarter from UpperSandusky home, Rams leading twenty three
to twenty on the physic buck EyeCentral Buckheads. But the Buckets have with
the ball the left side to Metsgar, a pie of McDougall, right side
to Grace Kohalie d by Grace Walton. Khaley looks to break down the defender

(59:06):
to the left side to Metzger,pie to McDougall, back to Metzger.
Every right. Nur's face is Finnsculli. As the intensity starting to pick up
just a bit at the right arcIla Evac throws it up into the lane
over Ham. No off, it'sa rebound deaf and falls down on another
attempt and the ball out of boundsoff Buckeye, so it is back to
Upper Sandusky fill in the first minutesof this fourth quarter, the home Rams

(59:30):
leading get by three, wanting towin this game, and they'll be pulling
for Winford this evening to get Crawford. If that happens, the Rams will
be playing for and INN ten titlethe next Saturday at Carrie. But they
gotta finish business here against a toughBuckeye team that was just in a double
overtime game this week showing no goodfor three for Newman. Rebound McDougall back

(59:54):
to Buckeye Central into the right sideto Grace Kohalie off a double team from
Ham and Walton. The past deflectorsstolen by Newman gets until Walter forum per
Sad Dusky looking to push it andpluck there defensively by the VM Metzger.
And that's tough because that is numberfour on the junior and leading score for
the Buckheads. Yeah, so Phillloy, with a little choice, has

(01:00:17):
to pull Metzger for another starter EliseSeaffert to sideline him bound Heart into the
back court for Walton, who walksit across the timeline from per San Dusky
leading in twenty three to two twentyThe right side fit Scully's to the top
of the key to Heart stops thedripple back to the right side Fit Scullee

(01:00:37):
heads towards a lane, dumps thepass inside to hand when nil the ball
picked out of there buy Seaffort,So Buckeye has a ball back to McDougal,
a head to Grace, Colleen lookingto challenge Heart, and an offensive
foul called Colleen. This time theycall it against her, so that's the

(01:01:00):
fourth personal on Grace Cohaleen and MadisonHard the one taking the charge. So
we get the thirty second timeout callsfor Upper San Dusky with six thirty one
to go in the fourth quarter.For these Buckeye Central Buckheads, a team
that has really been improving this season, they knew it would be a job

(01:01:22):
when you graduate your entire starting lineup, and what an impressive starting lineup.
But that was think about the pageCohaleen Kate, Cecil Kennedy Depping, Sydney
Worm, the Inten MVP Riley Concert. They all just did an outstanding job

(01:01:45):
for the Buckets during their time,and in this era they've got some new
players who are picking things up andlate in the season. Yeah, there's
tough as any team to play inthe intent. So here we go.
Upper said Dusky with the ball rightto left six twenty four to go on

(01:02:08):
the fourth and Scully at the rightside right in front of her bench,
leaves with the drible pass, windsup with the right arc with Ham and
protects it against Seaford to the lift. Pois too hard to the right side
to if Scully stumbles, but continueswith the dribble guarded by McDougal up high
to Walton. It is La Colleenguarding her this time, as we are

(01:02:30):
just two minutes into this fourth corner, Upper leading at twenty three to twenty.
That's called to the left. Poistoo hard calling forth down Lowe's hand,
but the pass was over her headand hands out of bounds to the
baseline. A good idea by HeartHeart and Ham. They definitely have a
great relationship. Yeah, We're talkingto Ellie Ham a little a week or

(01:02:52):
so ago about Masson Hard. She'sjust so happy with the way that Madison
has developed as a sophomore player.Asson Hard goes out of the game.
Bailey Fox, a senior, isback on defensively, but then the ball
goes out of bounds off of theright hand of Hella Colleen for Buckeye coming

(01:03:14):
back in for this, so BrookeVinscully returning to the Rams bench bringing kind
of back into the game for aperson and Dusky leading in twenty three two
twenty to the top two. BaileyFox, guarded by Seaffert, gives her
a little bit of room there stopsat the left point and deflected there by

(01:03:37):
McDougall, and now it's a wrestlingmatch for the ball to mac Deppen and
Ellie Ham, and the tie upis called and with the possession arrow,
the ball does stay with upper SanDusky with five twenty six to go in
the fourth that the m Metz girlchecking back in with those four fouls,
she's gotta be careful and heading outis Macy Deppin five twenty six to go

(01:04:02):
in the fourth imbounding it up highto Ellie Ham to the top to Walton
dribble drive left side, throws itup with the left hand against the call.
So Grace Walton heading back to thefree throw line for a per Sandusky.
So Hello Holy, picking up thepersonal foul for buck Eye. Suddenly

(01:04:29):
got really quiet. We're in uperSandusky. Is Gray Fulton knocks down that
first free throw. She's up tosixteen points, kind of returning to the
upper bench, replaced by Madison Hart. It's a twenty four to twenty lead
with that first free throw from Walton. Second one on the way up in
the air and it goes in seventeenpoints from Walton. Twenty five to twenty

(01:04:55):
is Upper Sandusky's lead. That guycenter with the ball big google to the
left side to Hello Holy between therings up high to seat Fruit guarded by
Newmanton Seafort with her right hand frommole to the left point to the Amtsker
crosses over to left hand, cutoff defensively by hand out to McDougal war
three. Oh, miss is allright there offensive rebound for ala e fact.
But her right foot was on thatbaseline that is exactly right. Official

(01:05:20):
was in position to make that call. So up for Sandusky gets the ball
back with four fifty nine to goin the fourth, so Grace Walton,
joking up with the dribble guarded byIlla Colleen, hands it off here to
Bailey Fox over to the top ofthe key left point two. Madison Hart
fires an inside hand lay up herea breakdown on the interior deed. They

(01:05:45):
found Illy Ham for the layup andthat's her first bucket, but he gives
up her eight twenty seven. Thetwenty lead is a three is on new
Way that goes for Ella Colleen.They call on a long two, a
long two for a Colleen. Somepools buckeyeed within five well, and then
we might get a travel here fromNewman took the step before putting down the

(01:06:06):
dribble from the left corner, soGrase Colleen comes in for her cousin Ella
Colleen for Buckeye as we have fourto twenty two to go into fourth and
Brook from Scully back onto the floorfor upper replacing Bailey Fox. I think
we're going to see a lot moreof these substitutions as we wind down to

(01:06:27):
the stretch, especially with players infoul trouble inside they go into evag layup
goes for la bag She's got sixpoints pools Buckeye two within three up her
pole with Walton left wing to thetop a three hard front or no and
ball batting out of bounds from behindby Laevac for Buckeye as Macy Deppin checking

(01:06:50):
in for Buckeye replacing Laevac all rightsolely impound, Grace Halton for Upper Sandusky
out to Newman Griglease on the threepops off the lid, rebound McDougall back
to Buckeye central treally in twenty seventwenty four with under four to play hit

(01:07:14):
in this fourth corner, it's definitelypicking up here at Upper Sandusky. Metzker
to the left side to make Tooglegroup both against Foxpfen. It's calling the
past, trying to fight Seaford downlow and it's just out of bounds in
the baseline. They just were noton the same page that time. So
Brient Conda f four Upper Sandusky forBailey, Fox so his heart, Walton

(01:07:39):
kndif Finscali and Newman on the floorfor Upper leading in twenty seven twenty four
with three thirty five taken it inthe fourth corner. The right corner cond
of a pie to Newman to theleft point of vinscalingat in the corner to
heart faxing the three working on Deppinand goes back up high to cond off
to the right side fit Scaling bakeson that three d it off here to
Walton. Sort's a right arc crossedover to the right hand to the wing,

(01:08:01):
heads over to the buckhead layup dancingon the lind no repound seaford,
but Ki Ball pat picked off ByeNoman pits a layup. It's gone for
up her five point lead from theRams six points. Brandy Newman with the
steel and the deuce time out calledfor bunkye with three to Zho five to

(01:08:21):
go in the fourth quarter, fulltime out score twenty nine to twenty four.
She's given the situation, we mightas well just keep it right here
for this contest. Grace Walton havinganother stellar performance seventeen points for the junior

(01:08:44):
first teamer Remever, now, shewas the only intent first teamer last season
who was a sophomore. All theothers were ahead of her in class.
She is just that good. Sheis right out the gate. Was that
good in fact? Uh yeah,she her freshman year was playing with the

(01:09:05):
assistant coach, Grace Finn, andGrace, as a result of Walton on
the team, switched from point guardto shooting guard. And I remember Grace
telling me She's like, this isgreat. You know. She considered the
shooting guard position her more natural positionand had a great time playing with Walton.
So Grace Finn continues to be amentor as an assistant coach, and

(01:09:29):
Walton continues to get it done.So three oh five remaining in this fourth
quarter, buck guy with the balltrail to get twenty nine twenty four in
the back court. It is alease. Seafer passes ahead to Ellakale,
went to the top to the rightside to Grace Kohlee back guy pie to

(01:09:50):
enough amsger metzeger we threw, goesto McDougall, pops a three. It's
it Marra McDougall pulling, but Kaidawith in two back to where it goes.
Walton left in lay up. Yeah, she falls but makes it anyway.

(01:10:11):
Nineteen points for Walton as upper leadsat thirty one twenty seven to twenty
five to go. In the fourthmetzger up pie to McDougall. She is
dangerous there back over to Metzger guardedby Fanscully up to mcdougalls and is Newman
on her to Metzger left side todeepen pars it in Sea for left hand.
This is that gets the call andjumping up, pumped up on that

(01:10:35):
was her teammate Deppen gives her handsay come on, let's get these free
throws. Third personal on Grace Waltonfrom her Sandusky. That's also something to
watch for as well, particularly ifthis game goes to an extra session.
So Sea for making the first freethrow, She's got four points for buck

(01:10:58):
Eye exact second free throw at leastSeaford for Buckeye hits that one sold within
two is Buckeye on the pass ofthe right side. Here we saw a

(01:11:21):
Metzger over there trying to get toit, reflecting and just uh wow,
yeah, just Upper has lost thatone. So it is back to Buckeye
Central went bounding into Yellow ephect offthe glassens course from the time Ella effect.

(01:11:43):
For Buckeye Central, she's got eightpoints and it is Upper shadesky ball.
Well that turnover moments ago, thatwas that was really tough for the
Rams. They're on the screen Waltonfrom Heart to the right side fit Scully.
Now we'll see who wants to reallyshoot the ball. Walton's always ready
though, and Newman she's a threadalso wont and here we go for the
three gods. Grace Walton breaks thedeadlock with another three, gives up her

(01:12:10):
a thirty four thirty one lead withone thirty four to go on the four.
Buckeye used to these situations. Seehow they handle this and race co
lead. They don't call the fouls. Walton fell down with some contact up
high two Seaffert into evac, takesinto lane, off the glass, ends
course. So la Evac with tenpoints and pulls buck Kye to within one.

(01:12:33):
Is thirty four to thirty three andis anyone's game here? With one
tend to go on the four,Walton up high and hard three front rim,
no balls tapped around, going forit off the rebound harp, but
a whistle before she completes the rebound. So foul is on Mason Heart.

(01:12:55):
Oh wow, so third personnel onMadison hard So it was back to Muckeye
Central down one. Let's see whatthey do. Final minutes of the fourth
mattscurrd Wonder drive right hender here he'sgot the layup to give Buckeye the lead.
Thirty five thirty four head upper SandustyWatts a timeout and the Buckheads are

(01:13:21):
fired up here. This was thetype of tough game that we saw them
give the carry Blue Devils, andthe Blue Devils were able to find a
way and prevail. They had thistough type of game as well against Cardington

(01:13:41):
Lincoln. That game going to doubleovertime and somehow, some way the Pirates
were able to pull that off bytwo oo wee. So it is dicey
in these situations. You know,turnovers are huge. Every single possession you

(01:14:04):
gotta try to go for. Butyou're also looking at the clock. How
much time do we have? Onepoint game? So threes are unnecessary.
But if it's Wolton, she canhit threes the way so many hid mid
range shots and close twos, soif she's open, she'll likely take the

(01:14:26):
three. I think if you're buckEye Central, you just don't want Walton
to be open in any situation.Just cannot happen. Let's see what happens
here. Cover Sandusky ball the aboundingit to fins, culling forty five seconds
they know they've got to get thisgame to have a shot potentially in an

(01:14:48):
N ten championship. If they losethis one, all their hosts probably are
out in the past hard trying toget to Walton who falls down. No
foulow is called. Had a bityell out there for Laevat. She is
excited about that. So that's thetype of turnover that Upper sand Dupsky certainly
could not afford. With thirty fourseconds left and trailing by one. Now

(01:15:13):
Upper's got to think about if theydon't get to steal quickly. Who did
a Foul's McDougal in the backcourt andshe is fouls. They've got fouls to
give though. Addie Newman second personal, second personal on Addie the Muckeye Central

(01:15:39):
calling for a full time out inthis game. Yeah, if the Buckheads
well, if they can pull thisoff, this will be huge statement and

(01:16:00):
quite hit a stretch for this team, especially considering that they got the upset
victory over Colonel Crawford and certainly whenyou are this late into the season you
have a chance for an inten championshiptrying to close it is huge pressure.
Oh, it is huge pressure.The Eagles I think in some ways experiencing

(01:16:23):
that we also do know that.Yeah, they've been playing without one of
their senior starters in Nayla mckibbons.So that has also continued it to some
of the late season challenges for ColonelCrawford. But that is still a strong
team. And I tell you,looking at tournament time, there are going
to be a lot of tough outsfor the Intent. I mean from the
perspective of other conference opponents, theIntent is a tough conference. We go

(01:16:46):
thirty one seconds left in the fourth. The guy with the ball leading by
one here at upper Sandusky Metzger quickdribble pass up trying to get the head
to McDougal, who falls down highleft side the seafort. But they've got
a foul. Perhaps if you representDuska's clock is working down and yes they
do fouler both Vin Scully and Newmangoes over there. They've called it on

(01:17:08):
Newman her third personal that puts itat four. So the next foul we'll
send Buckeye to the line again.Buckeye Central leads at thirty five thirty four
twenty seconds ago within the fourth andfound to grace Colleen Hard knowing somebody's got
a fowler, and yep, itis Grace Walton who jumps in there and
commits that personal. Wow, that'sthe fourth personal on Walton, so she's

(01:17:33):
won away from being disqualified. Andagain it's a situation is what if this
game goes into overtime, but hadto get the clock stop at seventeen seconds.
So here we go, Grace Colleento Lie hits the first one,
two point lead and five points onthe board for Grace Coalie second free throw

(01:18:02):
front our no heart with the reboundgetting into Vinceculi looking to bring across the
line down by two, and yesit's they call for the timeout absolutely leaving
eleven seconds on the clock. SoJerry Vent will try the diagram something to
give Upper Sandusky either a chance forthe tie or to try to get maybe

(01:18:28):
even a game winning shot down bytwo. And the thing is, with
Upper Sandusky having those three point shooters, there's a chance that they could just
do that. Upper Sandusky spirits significantturnaround this season. Think about the team's
first ten games, rams win fiveto five. Then with the dawning of

(01:18:55):
the new year, Calenter changed thetwenty twenty four Upper Sandusky only one law
Us lost was here at home toColonel Crawford. Rough game for the Rams
on January to thirteenth, losing Eaglesgot that one thirty five to twenty.
But since that lost, the Ramson the sixty eme winning streak would like
to extend it to seven today andmore significantly give themselves a shot at an

(01:19:17):
N ten title. They would stillneed some help. They need Crawford to
lose one more game, all right, So here we go out of the
time out. Let's see eleven secondsleft. Upper Say Dusky trailing by two

(01:19:38):
at home, thirty six three fourthree, Walton's up, whaa raise Waltons
fucks down up train to give upfor the one point lead. Thirty seven
thirty six. Upper Sandusky is outin front with six seconds ago twenty five

(01:20:00):
for Walton. That is a coachshowing confidence in his player. Jerry Ben
knows what Grace Walton can do.And we talked about this before. Not
all players even want that shot inthat situation, like yeah, somebody else,
yeah, you take the ball,you shoot it. Not Grace Walton

(01:20:23):
to give me the ball. Kindof like the old Derek Jeter philosophy when
he was playing baseball He's like,oh yeah, you know, when the
game's on the line, hit theball to me. I'll take care of
him. Wow. So it's actuallyfive point nine seconds left for Buckeye and

(01:20:43):
they have dealt with these late gamesituations so many times to see what they've
got here. Trailing at thirty seventhirty six, Sea to the baseline inbound
against the full court pressure. Ramsknow they cannot foul. Sea for it
into the front court two seconds,one second and did she step out a
pound? She did, leaving pointone Elise Seaffert, and she just puts

(01:21:04):
her hands on top of her headas it is going to be yet another
late game heartbreak for the Buckheads.Just inbound the ball, if you're Upper
throw it in. You gotta touchit though, and she does before it

(01:21:26):
goes on the pounds and that doesn'tit is a final. The Upper Santusky
Rams win the game thirty seven thirtysix over the Buckeye Central Buckheads. What
a contest this was, and asa result, Upper Sandusky keeps hope alive

(01:21:46):
for an in to en championshimp asthey dash off the court, Oh my
gosh, what an extraordinary performance forthe Rams. Just in general, but
especially by Grace Walton. Well,we'll take a break trying to digest this,

(01:22:09):
but again it is a final UpperSandusky thirty seven, Buckeye Central thirty
six, our Matthew Hondaker Girls highschool basketball game of the Week Magic ninety
five to nine, and Diehart Radio, well, we are indeed with the
Grace Wolton after the dramatic victory forthe Upper Sandusky Rams by one point till

(01:22:32):
for a Buckeye Central and uh,well, great game for you, obviously,
Grace the twenty five points. Butfirst, if we could just sort
of go through your game winning play. You're down by two points, so
obviously you need something, and comingout of the timeout you go for three,
completely spray it and that obviously holdsup for the victory. So just

(01:22:54):
your thoughts on the vote to play, call on how you were able to
execute at that moment. Honestly,it was a great play called coach drew
it up perfect and the girls executedgreat. I got a great screen,
broke got me where I needed tobe, and then I guess I just
threw it up and I was like, I'm going for the win, I
guess and went in. You suredid Yeah, this place so went crazy,

(01:23:15):
understandably, So huge play for you, huge play for Upper Sandusky.
Now the key is, I meanyou knew you were taking on the BC
team today. That significantly improved sinceyour first matchup, which you won by
seven points. Buckheats recently pushed firstplace Carry to a tough game. I
lost that one by four, cameup with a big upset versus CO first

(01:23:35):
place Colonel Crawford. So that sortof sets up things for your team.
We know the situation tonight. IfColonel Crawford loses to Winford, you're right
there in position for a chance towin shared in ten titles. So just
some thoughts about the excitement of howthis season is really unfolded for you and
the Rams. We're pup. Nextweek's gonna be a big week for us.

(01:23:57):
We got a game against Riverdale onTuesday, and we gotta have a
real good week of practice. Imean, we still got a lot that
we're playing for him. We're excited. Yeah, that's very true. Yes,
again with Grace Walton after the bigwin today. So although your regular
season finale is on the road,you know, yeah, you've got at
least one more home game in thetournaments you get a first round by before
hosting Edison or Willard. What canyou say about the experience of playing in

(01:24:20):
this gym in front of these fansand just the benefits that it has on
you and the rems. Oh,our community is really supportive of our team.
It's great. I mean, likewe do have a lot of people
go to our games and it's justI don't know, it's a good atmosphere
and it's really exciting, and Idon't know, I've always really appreciated that
about upper Right. And obviously youand your teammates are jelling so well right
now, so you mentioned it.Just one more for you. Next game

(01:24:43):
Tuesday, Riverdale of the BBC,And this game obviously has no role in
the end ten race, but everygame is important as you progress toward the
postseason. What's got to happen tosort of keep this momentum going versus the
Falcons. I think what we're gonnatry to do is what we've really been
focusing on is good in the game, starting like well from the front and
then building leads instead of having tocome back or battle like I think we're

(01:25:03):
gonna do, or what we're gonnawant to do is just come out,
come out strong, and then justkind of like finish through that. There
you go, all right, well, we're definitely looking forward to it.
Congratulations on the wind, and weknow we'll be at the game for Colonel
Crawford Winford, but we'll definitely seeyou. All right, Thanks so much,
grace. Until the next time.
