goes for Alex for the first pointof this game. We'll see how coach

the mid court circle to the rightpoint to Smiley, heads into the lane,
come up by Kirkin to the leftpoint to Young. It is uncred
on him. There's a rather screenfrom Bodman. Elkin stays with him,
(04:06):
no switch. Then going back tothe other direction. This time there is
a switch with Conaway on Young.Young drips to the left side, hands
it off, putting them whistle alljust stepping out a bow right there at
the Liberty Benton bench. So theball right back to Liberty Benton leading it
(04:27):

there's Lincoln Holler six, five sophomore. They got multiple six fivers on
this team to the top here atthe Kirkin. Here's another one. We're
a runner at the right hand andKirkin is early down in early the sixty

of Liberty Benton's all the eagles witha turnover here right back to carry,
and it does appear that seth Elkertis coming on yep toie Thomas On.
(05:59):
Then when he's walks to the bench. Yeah, you can see the pain
that Greed is in as he walksback, but he fights through when he's
on the floor. But it isSeth Elkhort out there for Liberty Benton.
He's playing some good defense there onBraidon Young. He passes out to the
right side to Yaer, finds thecutter Smiley right back to Yaer carry training
at five to three, and thenjust throws the ball up towards the rim.

back and to pass off the righthand and out of bounds to the baseline
trying to find Conaway. I passeda little bit too far ahead by Girkin.
(07:55):
So coler Bos is going to tryto give it a go. He
reported that he was feeling ill todayand he said he wanted to play,
and it was unclear whether coach Youngwas going to give him that opportunity.
But he is out there and againa short rotation, so they could certainly
use his help. He's both normallya starter, but coming off the bench
this when as he hangs in theair right side, miss fires and the

Oh, we gotta get that timeout. Whiteman knows what he's doing.
He's in the second season as headcoach of Liberty Benton. Previously was
an assistant for Toledo Saint John's Jesuitfor ten years. Yeah, so it's
(15:46):
kind of well traveled. Actually,he succeeded Bennon Gerkin, who served as
Liberty Benton's head coach for eight seasonsafter he took over for the Hall of
Famer Steve Willeman, led the LibertyBenton Boys for twenty eight years. Doesn't

(25:26):
Our Matthew's hon act with boys highSchool Basketball Game of the Week as they
play in the sectional semifinal and Divisionthree Magic ninety five to nine and iHeartRadio,
oh Yes High School Basketball Magic ninetyfive nines or reinsurch Agency halftime shill
continues here from Carrie the home BlueDevil's trail the Liberty Benton Eagles thirty to
(25:48):
twenty one, but but then freepossessions there, so we'll see, we'll
see how that winds up playing out. We'll be here all night for it,
so be. Cyrus is at NorthDan here's a few hours at halftime
with a thirty five thirty two lead, So that would certainly big, big
(26:08):
for the Redman trying to win thatDivision III Sectional semifinal, and they're certainly
in good position to do that basedon that score. So we'll keep an
eye on that. As we notedearlier Upper Sandusky with a twenty one to
(26:29):
eighteen lead on Defiance at the halfof that game. So that's really all
that we're looking at as far asin ten participants tonight. We know that
Mohawk has a four seed in NorthwestDistrict three Division four set to host ten
seed wood More tomorrow at seven.We do plan to bring you play by
(26:52):
play of that game live on Matchingninety five to nine. If Mohawk wins,
the war will host either number sixArlington or number fourteen Van lou in
a sectional final this upcoming Friday,who marched the first at seven pm.
The winner of that sectional likely wouldface the number one seed Hope Well Loudon,
(27:18):
a team that Mohawk battled hard latein the regular season, falling to
the Chieftains by two. So ifHope Well Louden falls short of the districts
that we found around, the othertwo options would be Freemont, Saint Joseph,
Central Catholic or Arcadia And gosh rememberlast year in the district final Hope
Well Loudon Mohawk. That was atremendous game and Mohawk was able to win
(27:41):
it in an extra session. Sothat was that was definitely dramatic. Who
knows how things may play out thisseason, but you know we'll be here
for it, especially for our WindieCounty teams in the N ten. So
we're about thirty seconds old away fromthe start of the second half here had
(28:03):
Carrie and Liberty Benton leads thirty totwenty one, Jacob Kirkin leading all scores
for this game. Joining for LibertyBenton obviously is fifteen points and Carson Conaway
(28:25):
coming up with seven points and fivepoints for Zach Elkert, three points for
Lincoln Holler and Carry Blue Devils aretrying to get some more scorn cooking.
So we'll see there we go.We start off the third quarter right now,
(28:48):
so Carry with the ball. Thenthe three is up. Kyler bells.
He's starting off this third quarter,so he must be feeling all right.
So the shot though, So therebound for Holler and Liberty Benton eagles
with the ball, working it aroundthe perimeter's kind of way that's at the
(29:10):
right point, heads towards the freethrow line, keeps on dribbling well with
the left hand too strong, andthen the week's ie rebound grabbed down there
by seth elkerk comes underneath knot toHaller another three. That's no good,
but foul then for a long twoit appears, so yeah, Carter Smiley
picking up his second personal first foulfor anybody in this third quarter. And
(29:34):
I thought he was giving the indicationthat it was a long too and no
he he's about to shoot three freethrows. The first one does not go
for Lincoln Holler six' five sophomorefor Liberty Benton. Second free throw,
(29:55):
that one is good, so hestretches out to a ten point to lead
for the Eagles. And the thirdfree throw that's good, so making two
a three Lincoln Holler for Liberty Benton, which leads to an eleven point leads
thirty two to twenty one. Carrywith the ball trailing still first minut until
(30:17):
the third quarter as Putnam has itinside trying to back his way in on

forty nine to twenty five first minutof the fourth quarter. It surrounding defense
right side leads to seth Elkert steppingout of bounds at the right side line,
so Carrie gets the ball back everypossession for carry so crucial when they
don't have much time for each possessionwhen their trailing gets so big, so
Smiley on the right side goes overthe caller bows cut off the fensive by
(42:00):
Irwin, pull up right side,no ball batted around, winds up with
Irwin for Liberty Benton, passes theright side to Holler, jogs up with

sectional final. There's been a toughone for Kerry here at home. Bow's
(43:04):
here at the free throw line,pull up front iron, no offensive rebound,
Bows inside and then goes through forKyler Bows. They score forty nine
to twenty seven. That's the firsthoop for Kyler Bows in this game.

in four to two and he's bound. Zach Elkert ready to go to the
line to complete a three point play. Three. He's third two first.
Oh, that's another thing. Youhave three personals on Carter Smiley, so
I'll see that becomes an issue asa free throw for Elkert as in Zach.
(43:50):
He's got a eight points for ZachElkert giving Liberty bent in a fifty
two to twenty seven league. Notfor the Kerry Blue Devils left side out.
It's putting them down to the corner. The color bows up high.

top to Kirkin, right point toZach Elkott Holler tip past the Zach to
(44:58):
the left point, Conaway inside toseth Elkirk's rounded for Jake and we get
a time out called by coach OWhitman, so we'll take the break with
five fifteen to go in the fourth. It is Liberty bent in fifty four
Carrie twenty nine from matthew sonback We'reBoys high School Basketball Game of the Week
(45:19):
on Magic ninety five nine and iHeartRadio High School Basketball Magic ninety five nine.
Here at Carrie, Blue Devil's trailingLiberty bent in fifty four twenty nine,
but Carre's able to come up stealing, didn't losing it right back underneath
the Conaway misses on the right handlayup, but in Conway is able to
track down the ball get it rightback for the Eagles trying to add to
(45:40):
a fifty four to twenty nine lead, but they might milk some clock before
they put up a shot. Ohwe had to travel. Yeah, a
slight delay on the whistle there,but uh the Erwin did pick up his
pivot foot, so yeah, it'sright call. So he's pulled out the
game, replaced by Zach Elkert.Seth Elkert actually is the one who replace
(46:07):
him. Zach Elker's already out there, so it is to carry with the
basketball down fifty four to twenty nine. Our right sidey eater given a room
here by Holler has deflected in byZach. But it's a foul away from
the ball. Well yeah, okay, they called it on Zach Elkert.
(46:31):
So first personnel on Zach carry ballinbound underneath Alex Putnam's disabledose core. It
makes the score fifty four to thirtyone, six points for Alex. Everybody
Benton still with the big lead andthe ball at twenty three, and then
(46:54):
we get a three from the leftside Zach Elker. Wow, so he
is up to eleven points. Yeah. It's just really been one of those
types of nights in which Liberty Ben'splayed really well and Carrie's just struggle to
make shots. As we see rightthere from the left side, a three
attempt just does not to go infor Mitch Bows, So right back for
(47:17):
Liberty Benton's one thing that Coach Youngtalks about so much is that it's a
skill game. You got to makeyour shots right, You got to be
able to handle the ball, gotto be able to pass. It's something
that he runs into at the startof every season, bringing the football players
back into basketball mode. But thisseason has largely been injuries. As we
(47:40):
get a call underneath and that appearsto be a carry foul. It's on
Mitch Bows. Yeah, first personalon Mitch Bow's two team fouls on carry.
So Liberty bend on the inbound.Conaway misses, but we're able to
keep the possession of it underknee.On the show, Dominic Gator just wants
(48:04):
it. The sun at him fromLincoln Holler, send it right into the
wall. I'm letting out a littlebit of frustration on that play. De
Liberty Betton gets it back. Oh, we get a straight away three Gurkin
run iron no right for the rebound, and then Smiley goes right into the
(48:24):
Liberty Betton bench and knocking over oneof the coaches and then they both embrace
after that. Yeah, but that'sSmiley and what appears will be his final
high school basketball game, still givingit a top level effort. Oh,
(48:49):
Libty Betting with it underneath Gerkin upside Conaway. See at which point Whiteman
starts pulling some of those starters.With three oh five remaining in the fourth
and his Eagles leading in fifty fourthirty one, So underneath, pass it
(49:13):
out to Carson Conaway on this nightwith seventeen points for the Eagle, about
the leading scorer is that's Gkirkin withthe twenty three and Kirkhin has it down
on the left side Conaway bent toGirkin in the lane to Conaway top of
the key relected there by young Allis slipping down or maybe some moisture on
(49:36):
the floor there for Zach Elker,but he's able to recover, gets out
the hauler and yeah, then weget another time out called for Liberty ben
the thirty second time out with twothirty five remaining in this fourth quarter to
score fifty seven thirty one, LibertyBenton with the lead. So does here
(49:57):
that Liberty Benton's going to advance tothe next round sectional semi finals. The
sexual final will be with a visitto cold Water. So as it stands,
yeah, Carrie still never playing coldWater. The varsity boys basketball,
(50:19):
they're hoping for their first meeting toat the Cavaliers. Obviously they played him
in football. A lot of peopleremember that twenty twenty one state championship game,
Carrie winning that one. If you'vebeen has limited experience with cold Water,
(50:40):
no doubt Coach Whiteman and the staffwill I'm the Eagles ready for that
game. As a left hand layupdoesn't go underneath, but the follows good
for Conaway. So just patting thestats a little bit, it does seem
right there. Carson Conaway up tonineteen points. Why not someone who's gotten
quite a few college offers has yetto announce his decision. At some point
(51:08):
he'll let all of his fans knowwhere he's going to be playing next season
at the college level as well,getting deep three Smiley, he doesn't go
to rebound underneath for the aforementioned CarsonConaway. For Liberty Benton right to left,
it looks like we're going to geta bunch of changes here in just
a moment for the Eagles at thenext availability, and we do get a
(51:32):
foul, so it's on card OrSomiley so his fourth personal So yep,
we're getting a bunch of changes forLiberty Benton. With Reid Irwin Jackson,
Hope Stetler, Tyler Gross all outthere and Brody Thomas see him out there
(51:58):
as well, and c J.Barbara sixty four sophomore, so they'll get
the final minute thirty five in thisfourth quarter for Liberty Benton and Carrie.
Thanks God would make some changes aswell. We've got our right side to
off the mark for Irwin. That'sback to carry long pass ahead Smiley to
Mitch Bow's it transition. May havego for Mitch Bows and carry calling for
(52:24):
a time out as Mitch Bows andDominic Yator come out of the game for
their last time as varsity high schoolplayers. Both are seniors. I'm sure
(52:44):
Brayden Young will be coming out atsome point here. With one to ten
remaining in this fourth quarter, LibertyBenton in about to advance the Gross yeah
six foot seven, Yeah, Iknow that they are definitely signed about his
potential junior. Are we get asteal in there? Carter Smiley taking right
(53:06):
at Irwin Man. Looks like hegets the call in his favor as read
Irwin. I've loving sophomore for LibertyBenton picking up the personal for the Eagles
that his first team. So CarterSmiley to the free throw live for carry
(53:27):
those free throw that one goes forSmiley, number twenty one vice and look
at it, yes, Sam Cole, Bryce Pucket on for Brandon Young and
Alex putting them a couple more seniorscoming out of the game. So the
only senior left to pull is theone at the free throw line. Carter
(53:49):
Smiley, it's up, it's in. Then he will come out of the
game. Carter, that's a fansshow. They're preciation. I turn sophomore
Carter Baine in for him. Sofinal forty nine seconds on the season for
the carry Blue Devils, Liberty Bentonfrom start to finish, a strong game
(54:12):
and the ball who looks like it'sjust out of bounds Liberty bent in the
right corner. All right, Soright back to the Blue Devils left to
right. As we get Phoenix withthe dribble point and Pucket down low,
Rice shot doesn't go bame out withit for Carrie. Twenty seven seconds left,
(54:36):
snors we lost the dribble Hoaxeller hasit, but Phoenix gets it back
for carry back to Bay if theyget a shot up here, this steam
right to the bucket gets the callelistem you ready to go to the free
throw line for the Carry Blue Devils. Personal is on ce J. Barbara
six y four, sophomore for LibertyBen to Harmer. By the way,
(55:04):
he's a hard hitter on the footballfield. You watched him player hitting defensive
ends. You get the first freethrow for her. Eli Steam himself hard
hit her in football defensive end andrunning back. Second free throw goes for
Eli's team, So Stein makes apair for Carrie, makes score fifty nine
(55:27):
thirty seven. Though we've arrived atfinal ten seconds of this one, d
c J. Parmer is able tohold on to it for the final second.
Then that'll do it. The gameis over and it is a final
fifty nine thirty seven. The LibertyBenton defeats Carrie, so the Eagles will
