ladies and gentlemen welcome to the winter field house here at belmont high school for tonight's first round am i a eighty two north tournament basketball action featuring the visiting chelsea red devils and your hometown belmont marauders i'm coach john cumin joined check great to be back great to be back to this from the playoffs on don't one has had a very good season and i look forward to their game tonight because i think it's going to be an even match up absolutely belmont is the number six even the d two north bracket chelsea the number eleven seed so we'll see if the favorites can hold on here at the home court against what looks to be a talented red devils basketball chelsea and pounding under the hoop it'll be t j patterson now working on your game patterson looks to the bench for signals head coach judah jackson calling it in for the red devils torres now looks inside to the flash for paul ramsey he's been great all season christopher he swings at the neuer an inside to ram or with a great beat thought we might get a foul there but the state belmont basketball seventeen left on the shot clock six ten left in the quarter paul mark still with a three two waiting to come in now is number zero steve lacy and perrin at the line for belmont eight to two fight for it down there was ram or can't come up with a red devils basketball good hard work under the hoop by ramsey well we've watched him play for a couple years in boise a tough basketball player patterson carrying a little bit loose from the corner now is frankly proves he can't hit lazy can't find a ball is up and about to the floor and annoyance up with judith jackson on the bench asking for a call not going to get annoying over to first night for you are damien there's the inbound pass but it's not the way here's ham parry stops just inside the three point line over to the annoying to riley swings at t r damien in the corner you are damien duranty ramsey they're going to get patterson there that's a second i think that jackson is arguing who they called for the foul they're not the fact that it was a foul in the pretty much everybody in the german those that was a foul ramsey on the line for two can't find the mark on the first one two substitutions into the game for the marauders it will be number three brian goodwin number twenty one will watch the crowd trickle into the winner behind the the bench has been a breath of fresh air for the red has not been the prettiest game that i know that's for sure we do know belmont has the capacity to fall awfully well down there closely needs to i mean almost recognize chelsea's in a three to  there's franken is now bruce takes it right it rams a little bit of contact disrupts the shot ramsey up with the rebound what a great point well it now baseline reverse lay a no good rab c with the push back sixteen eleven belmont with that'll be number five franklin cruz getting called on the foul his first they're huddled up around him and he's relaying those messages and probably a whole lot more good news is that you keep the house on like that eventually someone wonderful good things are going to happen you know about ninety percent of it is effort showing up playing that's right with pace and playing with speed so while there's still time to get down to the winner if you want to that you might have some trouble finding seats it's quickly becoming a packed house here on the floor for the marauders to start second quarter we'll see our damien riley goodwin christof henri and ramsey for chelsea w that's going to be enough to force you to jackson to call a timeout twenty five seventeen belmont with seven seventeen left what do you think belmont needs to do with tack in that that three two zone chelsea well the good thing the good news is belmont's got a number of really good three point shooters and they're going to have to be looking for that three point and i mean part of the strategy this season for the belmont team has been hit the three and give the other team to mathematically that's a good they're playing well they're playing their game we'll see what judah jackson has planned here for the rest come back out in that free to zone defensively or mix it up a little bit trying to confuse the both teams breaking from their respective huddles now as i see franklin tucker of the belmont tony and lurking behind the bench and i'd like to thank our director early in the broadcast jeremy in the service we are live in this belmont with an eight point lead twenty five seventeen years patterson for chelsea back to cruise cruise to patterson patterson picks up the treble long pass knocked away by ramsey but he can't come up with trying to force the ball right and they seem to recognize that and be really excited about your on the ball a teams with five team fouls hasn't been a foul heavy game i don't know if it has to do with the style of play or with the officiating tonight but at least they're consistent in franklin cruz waiting underneath as we close in on a minute one minute fourteen seconds left here and a half to a flashing patterson takes it back up top looks over to his head coach judah jackson and the devils are ready to go little sloppy on the dribble there he finds otero takes it inside right he wants to play up and it's good thirty seven twenty three belmont with fifty six seconds left terrell has that little hook over his head when he runs fifty seconds to go here and that will be one on one actually getting a little friendly ribbon from bobby goodwin down on the floor and you can catch bobby g and me in the spring doing a little baseball commentary but for right now i'm here with chad messer for basketball action we are here for basketball action with belmont leading by ten as we enter the second half thirty seven twenty seven and it's been a rough and tumble first half we'll see how both of these teams at just check very quickly before we start your keys to the second half of belmont keep doing what you've been doing they've been playing very well they're trading three pointers with two point as if it ain't broke don't fix it so i checked messer as we look about ready to go chelsea at first possession of the second half or belmont you are damien over to the noise the noise being guarded by patterson he picks up the dribble and over to ramsey in the corner it's getting loud here at the when ramsey to chris the four he's block comes up with it over to the noise to the red devils here's ramsey now up on after the game with coach pritchard absolutely that's a question for the post game press conference right now and i'll say one thing about coach perch you're always going to get an honest answer from him right forty two thirty one here with five fifty two left in the third quarter it'll be red devils basketball out of the timeout there is still a understand why they have nineteen seconds and they're getting the ball in the backfield it will change your position devils over to lace lacy back to cruise in the grey area off the back iron convenient bounce for him and he finds it on the second after forty seven thirty five belmo sprint in the next right that's football speed right there chad we could use some of that here's lace all the way over to patterson patterson to kreutz cruz will take it to the hoop little dish right there  block all being taped around down low cruises up with it for the red devils as the shot clock resets here's patterson now just across half court setting up his of nine thirty eight almo actually hard inside finally go who put his head down and just went right into that gray area right that's the chelsea fans are given the officials a little piece of their mind boy fifty one thirty nine as we take down to two forty five left in the third here's franklin cru call and coach jackson is over there pleading his case to the official but i think we can definitely say that the lack of over the back calls has gone both ways right exactly know getting the short end of the stick here right now both teams have had some tough calls right that conferring and saying we need to tighten this up here probably having a little conversation neither team is in foul trouble right at the moment for falls on each team with considering how physical this game has been i think kind of tells you a little bit about what's going on i mean the fact that we've got forty five i mean it's been a it's been a while but if that was the third quarter what will we see for the i don't think the belmont student section has sat down since i don't think they have either twenty one seconds and be on the shot clock for the marauders out of the timeout as the belmont cheerleaders jump into action under the home basket interesting they don't come out on the floor anymore no is that i wonder why that is very very talented cheerleading squad under the direction of amanda tonia navi asli you get to see their full squad doing work in the fall and they're very successful competition chair squad as well cheering is we're number two unit number two to beat your lead over to the cheerleader so the marauders will attempt to reset and restart the fourth quarter here fifty four to forty three with seven fifty remaining inbound to riley inside to ramsey knocked away by number five franklin proof we got a call now from larry they're going to get cruz for grabbing on to ram or the so here's franklin cruz now working in the corner no riley on him cruz wants it all the way you'll take it right to the hoop every with the rebound no go on the put back that's taurus now here's avery avery right to the ba forty seven now it's a nine point stand there and take a charge there yeah right i don't want to say the guys aren't prepared for me you know here's a here's a team that obviously it's not a non league team we're drawing him in action right and you know like sort of like you are dating and rahm is a guy that you know he's a built kid and he's an athlete but you know look at him and say this is the guy that we need to be worried about  she's gone back to man to man almost going to call a timeout but in high school basketball a thirteen point lead with a little less than five minutes to go is not a of giving him the baseline that'll force the red devils to reset as we close to three forty five still sixty to forty seven belmont is lacey deals now lacey over to patterson pattison back division to north and we'll have another ball game here at one hour and hopefully we will both be here to cover that one as well it's been an absolute pleasure being here tonight on behalf of jeremy
