ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the p h s sports t v network as we're here at burlington high school for the second half of an am i a division two north tournaments basketball doubleheader the first leg saw the ladies basketball against melrose i had to leave with an injury i think late in the third but not before he really had an impact on that game and maybe and has continued to produce but what's happened is  take a quick break here is we honor america with the playing of the national  against burlington at the beginning of the season when he scored thirty seven points on opening night and he hasn't taken his foot off the pedal so that's a lot of points of course he had thirty four thirty five against charlestown in round one is pretty quick to start again here yes cash well though a fantastic athlete on the football field as well a running back for the woman tenors and will be headed to springfield college next year second one by cash waldo is good and ennis in the corner it's up no good that's q go with the rebound for woman six minutes thirty seconds here in the first few cars to cash well don't annoy guarding him a little spin on paul it kicks it out mcdonald with the runner and it's belmont basketball where you see nice pass they can really move the ball well  good to see that sort of gamesmanship behind community access to all the stations here's your damian now dinoire cash well go on him to big bodies at the guard spot their sarawakian with a nice steak can't finish gets his own little bit of a lazy pass and charging hard was blake mcdonald he'll knock you are damien you are damien took a little bit of an awkward foul seems to be ok and you are damien will carry the ball across for the marauders three minutes and fifty seconds over in leeds by three shot by l it's  danny damien will step back out and call some signals ready to go now anas ellis annoying good ball movement here from belmont arrow damien with seven on the looks like they might have some problems over the belmont side a fan base out of the moronic i like what i see ennis is hot and they keep finding him in the corner they're moving the ball well a little concerned about their defense at times they seem to be a little scattered but it's working coming for between him and and ennis is shooting and that's that's the difference in the ball game i think it's good or it's a good recipe it's absolutely a good recipe you know and we were talking in the girl's game about how many different players on the on the on ball i guess charlestown at the end of the first half we saw our damien go coast to coast in six seconds the kid is blazing fast right would call the two i heard the class call from up so at the end of the first quarter check twenty one to seventeen were able to creep back within four points i mean i think we're in for a really good basketball game tonight no question no question and you obviously saw these teams face each other twice over the course of the year what do those games tell you about what we can look into tonight well in the first game interestingly belmont you know one in the last two minutes last minute  was some good played and paul shooting by pollock the game at belmont was someone a blow and i hate to tell you but i was in florida playing golf off and that game that's in that's in your that's in my that's my i call that my jealousy season just because they're down there playing eighteen and i'm stuck up here in the snow in the wet i will play my first round until i'm no end of april maybe may go back for the second quarter here is belmont will start with possession quick ball movement yard damien in the corner uses the pawlak screen looks inside to him decides on two minutes gone here in the second quarter paul is now up top looks inside nobody home are damien for three long off the glass go to but you know it's two very good competitive teams with good talent on both sides just good athletic traditions two great basketball traditions you know there really is something special about tournaments basketball i mean if you're not sitting here with us the gym is packed the student section is a rowdy everybody's having a great time on thursday night march really doesn't get too much better than this except for football season and just clearly better course on by i twenty six twenty seven correction good for three as i can see belmont students trailing in from what was probably the hockey game waiting to see who they're going to get on that and in addition now that's going to be a one in one for the juco as belmont is over the limit with two minutes ten seconds left in the second quarter and a four point lead thirty six to thirty one just a minute and one second though that if belmont is where they are right now at the end of the first half without the big contributions from guys like you are damien right now in el it right that bodes well for the second half when they bring those guys kind of into the yard out of slot as i notice that both watching the videos of the games that well it's a little bit too close to the basket sometimes to hide and bounces the ball to out off the basket and a casual dog on two occasions and maybe three you know just had layups but he hit the ball off the backboard to hide in the vacuum cleaner pick them up it's a game it's a game of grace and  game of touch so we're going to take a short break here about nine minutes away from the second half belmont of course leading thirty eight to thirty one i'm coach john hume and he's chad messer for our director jeremy my serve on the b h f sports will be back and welcome back to burlington high school for the last half of this am i a tournament basketball doubleheader the first leg of course saw the girls with a decisive victory against the world in tennis and chat not here for the start of the second half with holding on to a thirty eight to thirty one lead check what is key for belmont going out in this third quarter got to keep pressuring the ball like they have and it's a go go go once you get your hands on the ball i didn't quite have his shot in the first but something tells me that's not going to stay the same in the second half i thought they might get him for travel right but not a foul so wolverine will possess still thirty eight thirty one and they're going to get cash well done with the travel maybe that was in even up they do that i never seem to get those even up calls that we are david has a quick conversation with annoying as he walks the ball up and stakes the baseline dishes it out to will drive the lane reverses action and try to lay it in no good cash well dough is where inside seven minutes and the third belmont still leading thirty eight thirty one juco from the top of the  day and he hasn't gotten those calls down there today with the very smooth and graceful here's your damien ellett for three oh in an hour well it stays thirty nine thirty six five and a half left in the third quarter quiet there for a second i was distracted was in the student sections go back and forth omani joe very badly here in the third needs help now finds it in your damien will use the screen you're damian drives inside draws the foul foul on the floor as well go to first thing i think they got fourteen actually o who lost a very very close match up out lol tonight against the wall family lost in overtime by one goal but it has been a fantastic run for coach our has gone through a hockey game and i know i speak for chad jeremy when  as a result of the first game we're definitely going to the song going to center on saturday for the girls game hopefully win this one and we'll go for two games that would be nice and i saw that center double header and it's on the bow i'm going to have to take a couple of deep breaths and count to ten like my mother taught they miss the call and you go down there i go there miss that one and they're going to pack and out there what i mean i said all ball i thought i mean you've given that call down there actually i'm fine with it but the one with yuko in the corner yeah that's that's pretty that's a pretty evident call all right well what makes it the one and it's not the bell i'm going to take a couple of deep breaths juco drives on paula can't finish casual put it back on the noise behind the back thirty seconds about a two second difference in the thousand on the floor on blake macdonald and i think the referee is talking a little bit about number eleven joran back after the call and he is going to come back and pull him out pull him out and caswell though is certainly a little shaken up very tough kid  got a sure find some space puts it up right here on so forty six to forty six we're tied down in the fourth quarter i hope you got your rest your wheaties and took your heart medicine because you're go advance one team and i was trying to find the pairings for that looking for the bracket i think i have the bracket on my she that actually is i'm flipping through my papers here i certainly do played tomorrow night tomorrow at seven three nine tomorrow at seven zero be a good game yeah right and of course shocking brackets with their defeat over arlington in overtime to get to the semifinals haven't seen a lot in north andover so though well good basketball up in that area there is my athletic director at that on is here we go start of the fourth quarter is you are damien guarded by such ou and to be honest that that's got to be part of coach purchase plan here in the fourth quarter be right at seven for wolverine and only two for belmont shooting directly in front of the coach sullivan is imploring for a double dribble call i think on our day and on the last possession it's not going to get it so belmont now with a two point lead their second possession of the fourth quarter vacuum cleaner cleans it up o couple of travel calls there will send the ball back and forth as juco and balance on tommy day and ludwig will go to the line with a chance to tie he makes them both long way to go five forty two this is where the rubber meets the road a little bit for dolma and i think back to the lin classical game also last year the right really got to come out of the game the third in the fourth and close games out so it's going to be that the test of this team success if they're able to keep this here are three points which i think they can and then really battle back because obviously this is a team that can score a spell once and i think what's held them back a little bit in this period and in the third period was the fact really a great basketball player one of the best i've been lucky to see but what you do in the first three and a half quarter is doesn't matter very much in a three point game it's what doing the last forty second finish for jay have a day sunshine r damian now one point game is we are just about to cross the four minute mark there with the big three makes it fifty three to fifty one with four zero two left on the clock and that'll prompt a timeout big shot from well the throw good thing about will lose to you doesn't get every missed the first four out of five he just shoots not one bad he's he had a bunch of options and i haven't touched base with him he's been pretty locked in for for basketball season and turn attorney runnings looking at a bunch of schools out west in cali i think he wants to try to head out to the west coast a little bit ok he's going to the west coast  the bench for a while right that's what we've seen earlier in the season and watch out watch out even in the last two minutes and forty five seconds if that part of his game gets you right because i gotta be i got to be perfectly honest juco is a good player for there are a lot of good players on this we're team don't get me wrong the casual dough is driving their oftens and if this guy's not hitting and dandy is good bode well right but i'm not coached right so i'm not going to make the call going to make the call w opportunity to shout out our director jeremy reserve you never really hear from him too much because he's just that good at his job it's a seamless seamless production and if you've ever watched jeremy work right now he's on the camera he's got the monitors giving us rice smiles when we do a great job and jeremy one of those guys who makes p h s sports t v go and he does and it's special and my hope is that people like you enjoy and then some students will call jeremy yeah the kids work just as had in those sports a short do you know they sure do well danny shoot the continuation here it's up and it's going to both belmont leads by three and they're going to we're going to have to wait to see what this is this plays out a fifty eight to fifty three is required to a minute and a half left in the game casual don't know who's down on the floor dare to you guys through the roof but that's when it's been a great arrows for the girls game earlier was you know calm after the first half that game as long as no more just continue to play their game that was  possession game here a lot can happen in a minute thirty seconds in basketball generally in high school basketball especially but it has certainly been a really excellent atmosphere here burlington's and i can't wait to see  in to play a little bit and that's for any sometimes does go in there and you know try to show her which way to run a little bit but i thought that he released the ball and i had been up in the air yeah and then not given room to come down and you're my letter of the law supposed to be afforded room the land right so a tough call there looks like for belmont he will give over an opportunity let's hope the game doesn't turn on something like that here's hoping ever like to see that i definitely don't want to see a call determine the right which way the game goes we will have to wait and see is where fifty point eight seconds after the hour damien charge and something tells me this place is going to get pretty loud danny definitely thought the foul was on the floor any you are damien will be forced to sit down oh boy who was so danny gets another chance you know that's gotta be the kid is just a competitor in the truest sense be a really large part of know i'm waiting to see if coach had any more time o and that looks to be the case right you got a tight game right hold the ball there let's go to overtime and try to play it there but you know it's a lot easier said than done sometimes a lot of people will second guess decisions and actions that athletes make in the heat of the moment but i always ask people to remember  these guys are kids and be if you haven't been in a situation like that you might not know quite how it feels so all of our loved coach chris coach stafford the entire belmont basketball family it's been a great run for them and  ruined school in a way with a sixty to fifty eight when they'll advance to the d two north finals it's been an absolute pleasure bringing these trying to make games to you and get to be on the pegs with you maybe some time you'll take me down to florida with your play and disclaimer doesn't swivel enough but it should show we could
