your hometown belmont marauders first game of the doubleheader saw the girls absolutely roll the minutemen and a great w executed basketball game by melissa hart's lady marauders and now we'll see if the boys can follow it up as lexington controls the tip for the first possession lexington coming into this game with an overall record of five in twelve for an eight in the league belmont is seven in three seven and six in the league as dinoire now off to steal quickly over it then several wacky and those are the first points of the night belmont leads to nothing quick defensive pressure by the marauders is one half of the twin towers to me hoffman walking in behind me the looping shot from anthony clough falls and we're tied it to danny  with the board there and it'll be belmont basketball so coach going to join us for the second half so you're stuck with me for one but fortunately i have the voice of an angle the modesty the modesty of one for answers lane is no good kept alive by our damien but they're going to get him for the excuse me they're going to get a way to see the call n controlling from the point calling signals the junior guard over to dinoire back to to be a really quick time out there by coach pritchard doesn't like how the belmont marauders started off crowd filtering in here at the winner a lot of people who stayed over from watching the first game hang it out here to get a good look at the second as the annoying get set to inbound they are damien now he's got great speed off the dribble nifty little crossover and it's ripped away in the air by jimmy wayne great defense down low once again by the lexington minute men strong take by jack amsler doesn't find the mark lane's rebound ripped away by the noise and he goes to the floor and they're going to call so first action off the bench air is going to be number ten will a senior great football player great receiver second leading receiver on the marauder football team this year only a second year playing the sport of football just a great athlete checking into the game for lex it will be number thirty four case cronin the junior little dumb pass download a crown including can't finish knocked away by old before taking it away from pollock for now long looping path to the racquet he finds the mark second chance points killing the marauders early you are damien now with speed back and forth we go it's rock'em sock'em robots here at the winners anis now well at first handle of the game strong take it side dishes in the public nifty wide receiver to wide receiver combination there unspoken bond between those two as well it finds pollack to tie the game here's will absolutely no longer skip past the oka for four tries to take the baseline and they're going to get him with a charge nice job there by the noise and to get in front of the baseline rush said his feet and take the foul that's audi's first fall excuse me first foul of the game always start or over that allit for three no good here is ok for now down low by well it tipped it away it'll stay minuteman ball with ten seconds on the sho marauders got off to a hot start this year they've slowed a little bit of late seven and three in the league seven and six overall so needing a few more to find their way into the tournament every game matters here as jack employers first is good makes it a seven six another opportunity a basket that you tommy point of tommy was here film on averaging sixty nine point eight points a game here giving up sixty three point nine and home has been just a little bit more favorable the friendly confines of and i mean there are a lot of things i remember the eighty's for possibly even i'll tell you that a one of them carrick damien right to the rock find sarawak in the corner thought about a shot think the better of it now he'll drive and this kid has some presence i've been here for seven minutes in this game and i already like watching this  here's jack amsler now for lexington belmont leading by three coach pretty imploring and us to deny but a nice take there by cedric charles strong take quite annoying down low hill find you are damien on the out with good take by danny he drags the contact superman sprawled on the floor quick push up and he's going to the line you're going to get cedric charles on that one the scene your guard off the bench that's his first third for the minute m inside the lane up top at the free throw line stout defense inside great job by belmont there to pressure tough pass they'll take it back the other way with forty three point eight left so at thirteen second quick take by our damien long feed the well it good ball movement now starting to come together for belmont looking a lot better than the early minutes of the quarter you are damien stops and pops no good off the back iron but watch out if he starts find that one his feet and that's a quick two fouls on out for it's going to be enough to take him to the bench as anthony cloud will come back as will will so at the end of the first quarter it stands fifteen to twelve as the belmont pep band gets revved up it's been a double header for them to they definitely got the good groove tonight jeremy they got the good sound so plenty of time to get yourself down here to the winner and enjoy m i a high school middle sexually basketball nothing better see a couple of my football players sitting down there now hockey players soon to be baseball players love the multisport athletes jeremy and on the floor for belmont will be will it t little sloppy on the leave there by will they are damien comes up with it off his back heel able to regain possession thirteen on the shot well it right to the basket a little bit longer and it'll be jack amsler up with it he'll carry across half court for the minutemen good look inside but not the way by thomas annoying the senior captain heavy play their minute cozy now well it for three no good lexington looking to force it a little bit inside you are damien got tripped still got the pass off the sarawak they're going to get jimmy weigh in on that that's the second for lane senior captain and we're going to be coming back the other way draws it first for the young guard only a so and there's the second nice and clean just like me like i'm nineteen to twelve well amsler with speed right to the rack he goes a little finger roll doesn't go to annoy it up with  minute cozy and i get called for the travel at his bags packed was ready to go and i'll turn the ball over to lexington active defense here by adam sarah in the game for lexington hope i'm saying that right jack and was shot no good all my coming back well with speed can't hit hasn't been the highest percentage shooting game here for either team but definitely not short of action as we go back and forth audio for comes back lexington's within two oh my needs an answer here they've gone a little cold said shot from in a cozy can't find the mark the belmont three game is not coming up buckets tonight okafor working rolling off the pick with jake sunshine pawlak and he'll leave it for will well it well it to the rack off the glass one not scared of contact is number ten as well it gets an opportunity to make it a six point game here enough quick timeout there try to stop the bleeding lexington season been a little bit rougher than belmont's it's kind of where the middlesex liberty split happens in terms of league records you got arlington in the one at twelve and zero in the league winchester second at nine and three when third ten in four and belmont seven in three and then the remaining two teams in the middle six liberty lexington and reading both with losing records lexington averages fifty eight point  point scored a game they allow sixty one point eight and that generally mathematically is not a recipe for w belmont sixty nine point eight points a game is good for the highest team scoring average currently in both the middlesex liberty and the middlesex freedom winchester is the closest at sixty nine point three second horn sounds and we're ready for act we'll ampler quick inside draws contact he's going to go to the stripe absolute will be shooting t as the crowd's attempt to disrupt the foul shot fails ampler hits but it's this little quiet in here you know hoping for a little bit of hope for a little bit energy second one rattles around and can't find the showing good patience as belmont sarawak passes up the open three he'll find anice and s t r damn in head fake three pointer off the front tire no good but stop the shot clock violation well it almost came up with that strong shooting from the stripe for jack long pass and jimmy lane travel before he took it up good job bye bye paula to get back in number thirty four case larry bird crew and checks into the game pritchard calling his team over during the first shot for strategic conference as an opportunity to get the lead back to seven but he misses the sandwich middle when there's no good third false twenty nine twenty three belmont leads by six three and it's good nice catch and shoot there by anthony clough belmont's back quickly one possession game here nifty move inside by our davie put it back to five slant in the corner land in the corner twenty seconds on the shot clock active hands by the bell my defense pollak watches away to sarawak and you are dead in eleven uncontested lay up it's open up to ten lexington needs to settle here control little clock and run some set off and stairs two from the top for jack abs are off the back iron no one's down low and belmont gets another possession to annoy and head fake guy to do a little things right in the dirty areas that's pretty much true for any sport ever got to do the little things in the dirty areas right to win that's a good strong take there by jake draw the contact they got amsler on that fall that's his first rodeo for coming back and he's been fun lexington jack answer takes it hard inside and he'll draw a contact that's a second on danny as well it is up at the score stable for ball one jack and where to strike for the minutemen for two first one is good washington player and cedric charles back for the trying to trim a single digits here before the half and answer will do that three seconds left you are damian trying to run the floor with two deep shot no good so a strong first half here by the belmont marauders has them out to a nine point lead thirty eight to twenty nine here against middlesex large opponent lexington almost of course averaging close to seventy points a game jeremy so this is right about in their wheel house for scoring average and we'll look to see that improve that see them improve that as we head forward to the second half as both teams retreat to the dressing room and coach prince walking in there ry little smile for some of the fans and a great sense of humor coach pritchard has always got a we're about ready to come back here for the second half of that ask a ball at the winter field house in belmont massachusetts belmont enjoying a nine point lead over the visiting lexington minute men quickly move in that half court trap mac and us will find the stroke soon and the one the only the man myth the legend coach josh streit putting on the packs to join me here for the second half we're just going to switch sides here because my core is a little bit longer coach how we do it  to have it's good to have you i'm going on a half pack because i can't really hear so good in these ears here so i'm glad i was doing something exit polling down in the stands up to the pulse of the fans here tonight that's good man i mean it's you know it's good to have you doing kind of the as as usual the fans are a stude observers of the game so one one of the things kind of we were noticed saying we were you know kind of down right on courtside there is just some of the vision of these players in the first have a spare especially thomas annoying and it's just the movement of this team and when they get the ball moving and get the defense rotating they are on guard as well absolutely and you know wells looks a lot like that to be  contact and it goes to the line what was so good about that is they have of themselves a seven point lead plenty of time left but they're not rushing shots here q they took their time danny had an open shot but it was a kind of where he wanted to ten five seconds on possessions preachin smart possessions always as coach pritchard as they are damien knocks the first second one makes it a nine point game with six thirty one and as we see case a larry bird cronin back in  men tell you number thirty four over here man he's there s i remember a song jeremy earlier in the broadcast i remember a lot of good things about the one nine hundred eighty s basketball shorts not one of them and the kid cronin he's he's rocking some old school look today so here's annoying with the side and he'll find back yard area now nifty crossover dribble and the touch off the glass he is fun to watch coach all the way over the case cronin cronin can hit the mark with a multitude of second chances out to york for can't finish mack and it will rise up through the board and the referee missed that one they're going to come over and get it because that bounce to write off a head coach reggie hobbs and  jake pollock help in there too they've got numbers sarawak you can't finish that's a rare miss for him two on one bounce pass over to audi and he'll finish it forty two to thirty five thousand watts lead shrinks to seven and they're moving with s d lets see how they respond early at the end of the first half likes it and cut it within three events as belmont opened it up again let's see if there's the answer your question is you are damian changes hands and puts it in with the left looking to trap as belmont poking it away again is polic fighting through the i'm called foul is in it said shot for him no good good looking off that's right there though really good fundamental basketball be in play here and when you make the right passes know that that had two turnovers the last four but when you're making the right passes when you're pressing and you're moving the ball and you have so many scoring options it can get very tiring for the thief that's obviously and they just overpower and run you out of the building and that's kind of their m o here and it's with the steph curry three you know good vocal four up with it pushing the pace nice take can't finish stripped away by pollock cronon up with it he can't convert good for three easy youngster too soft more young saw for me they're just loaded with this whole programs loaded with young talent just keep cycling guys in you know good look inside to krugman well it with the save can't finish want basketball checking in for a lexington number one jason healy two minutes ago it was a seven point game now it's a five point game and they just one momentums go in lexington come on twice a night is answered masterfully and then it kind of starts to snowball down at the other end you know you saw that in the in the girls game to the shots that you figure normally fall and former just limping out the top of the room a little but here absolute he's been strong for them tonight could take up off the clasp a strong defense knocks it away cronin with a second chance and he'll be going to the strike for two x three straight possessions where there were  over the top positioning on rebounds what needs to happen here is they're getting kind of beat into wayman forcing to jump for the initial block which gets them out of position and allowing the back lexan ten players to come in and on this team will shoot at the right nice take care bye audie okafor with a hand in his face while shooters and that's kind of been a little bit of the ball my way for since i've been here yeah always kind of had a couple of really good three point shooters on the floor and it's like every it's  a very next next guy mentality where they're just so deep all through the programs the freshman team the j v team it's everybody's shooting everybody's waiting for their turn and sometimes that doesn't come to senior year to year and us is case software year but when they get the opportunity at they make the most of it i go out there and play and this is a veteran team was great leadership but it's also young which is crazy to think about  i was standers here's danny our damian stops and pops takes a little bit of contact pollack with the strong offense aboard find sarawakian easy money sixteen points is the belmont lead now as we head inside of forty seconds so a little bit over a ten second difference between shot in game clock ampler to healy back to absolute gets well and off his feet he stops and pops and that's good nice shot there by jack that's the second time now they've gotten a personal foul dinoire right before the half with under six seconds left and like to see the little competitiveness trying to get that thing back to make a play you know after not being satisfied with with the last one true that like the hostle absolute same shot from the other side of the stripe is good and that when the third quarter score stands fifty six to forty four belmont enjoying a nice twelve point cushion as we head into the third now coach  program has ever seen in the history of the program i mean we have kids who've been working really really are we have some college commits already thomas ballard going to solsbury in maryland allegorical to wheaton college and we have kids who've been can be high we made the tournament for the first time in five years last year i was just looking to build on that and i don't think i've ever felt this much excitement from the team and from a program i know i haven't since i've been here so we are we're just excited we can't wait for march nineteenth we have a calendar counting down the days how you do and we actually can't wait for april second first game sorry pull third first game versus shot sheen river valley tackle men in bill rocca it'll be here before you know it and all of us are out of football and home i mean center big fans of the marauder lax program so we're excited as a nifty pass from anas will draw foul on the floor but we're excited to see what you guys bring to the table and of course one of our upcoming senior captains will be a junior for you between the pipes this spring and mike kelly the home and he is is really put in a lot of work in the offseason is always looking really good and we're excited about him great both or go for a while it's going to shoot that oh boy oh boy will the three allow it makes it a fifty nine to forty four game here with seven twenty five left in the fourth that was pretty thirteen point difference here belmont leading working right to left passing up the shot as well that little runners no good  there cedric charles with a nice leave can't finish looping past a well it was hard to ennis i don't think it's because the ground before you left it for mack nifty play chest incredible vision to make that i thought that was doomed from the jump and belmont is just working off of the misses there is well it is good again for three i'm  break fast break and they don't even look tired and lax instead it's very effortful trying to get their baskets yeah and their second third chances but that takes its toll and you know you could just look at the benches right now in lexington looks gas i tell you to willis having gone to see him on the football player this year this is the season and jeremy and i were talking a little bit earlier only second year playing football in his life yeah he ended up on the second leading receiver and on our team over five hundred yards receiving second in touchdowns maybe you can tighten touchdowns with with jake but his movement patterns are our smooth smooth no and as a result he's deceptively fast he's a real off two moves it will be three feet past his start stop to start speed is is on real he was our fate and fading quick screen guy out there on the split  as it was a pretty good receiving side for us we'd have well at the split and jake in the slot but going back to what you were saying earlier what we're talking about with this team is i mean he is the fastest guy out there as a quick his first step and two of his last three buckets have been threes everybody on this team could shoot ice take their from senior anthony clough makes it a sixteen point game you are damn in well it in the corner has been dangerous great drive audio for didn't miss he's going to a real bright spot for lexington tonight and he's a senior forward we don't have chat up here so our live running score tally is his is woefully insufficient i have him at twenty such a soft kiss off the las washington clearly trying to get to the hoop fast here a nice take there by employer karma will so i'd want to see belmont slow it down but when you're that successful breaking it and you're running it just trade baskets for the next chase said it check it in the game a lot of youngsters and what you'll see is i mean these guys haven't seen the floor all day and they are going to play so hard and they're so quick especially when it's wh so looking for the second unit to really do some work as boring area and will wind up fouling jack amsler in the corner and that's going to send them to the line for three i'm actually very interested now i'm not i'm seriously but you were before you know i'm interested to see what happens now where these guys you know let's call it what it is they they have it out a glorious thirty seconds and if they can rebound right now this is what you want you want to see for you know our  but it appears that coach has seen enough although he has six guys at the table right now so this might be one of the six men substitutions no it's going to be well it walking back towards the bench in i heard a story about patrick ewing at the game we will not mention party that i was attending one of my buddies has an uncle or something who okafor can't finish back up with the second chance points can't finish chere can't finish tied up down low it's a jump ball belmont basketball on the arrow you know well froggy down there on the block is interesting i didn't think i was in danger objects of this team but now we're at a point game with two fifty seven it's anybody's basketball game right now but i want to play good quality smart press great basketball that's a that's number thirty five adam share and here's well if he's going to pull sunshine off the floor i like this move i like to get in the speed back in there well was having a lot of success breaking this press him in bad war has been a hot shooter from the on the art find itself out there openly in the now we're in the running for a name for what happens here when when the ball is lost on the far end of the floor here that is the straight walk to siberia to get that thing back is a large gymnasium if you've never been down here at the winter that's a long trot to go there early on other hand check out danny what i do i think i would like to see the ball moving a little quicker through the air they're ok to make sort of two passes it's a little easier right there in that possession i did notice they space it so well and when will is in their wills going to be kind of back on our close side the close the sideline he was wide open early on tommy looked off of him moved it across the court to danny but it just seems four it just makes it easier and it i actually thought the noid out easier passing your demian there he had it to well and i think that's going to be there for the rest of the game i don't see how lexington is going to be able to press here with these five on the court and you're not sacrificing  on the floor for belmont as we close down inside two minutes definitely a lot more exciting as we close the end of this game than we anticipated it being so the wrong way that they should sweat out this is a big game for them this is a playoff clinching scenario for them this should sweat it out of well that every game matters at this point for the one minute and thirty one seconds left options while a wide open cross the floor up to pressure and foul quickly as anthony clough is that'll send well into the line for the one and one never say never but nine one fifteen two shots i like where this is had and right now a couple smart possessions from ball one here should do it at these free throws and well it's a talker you see him down there that's of course an official unofficial start line we don't have a statistician coach now we don't you know maybe we'll put that in the budget for next season i do not understand to pick some nets real quick i do not understand you have the teams leading scorer wide open in the quarter for three when you're way to recover in that in that part of the court i mean with one ten laughs you know they're going to be jack in three zero it's it's a three hundred thousand press off and just said in a real strong half court defense yeah make limit them to any good options you don't need quick buckets syria don't need to you don't actually need a turnover you just need for them to kill the clock on the road a and that'll be the double bonus pollock nails the first one eighty two seventy three fifty seven point six opportunity eighty three seventy five yard damien quickly found by jack and it's back to our damien damien to dinoire annoying to well it pollack now trying to hold inside and he'll be fouled with eight point zero seconds left in the ballgame here i'll send him to the line for two i'll do it and this is the clincher for the riders who are turned it brought back and is it really that is it's eighty eight doesn't it does it is enough i don't know why i thought it was they move to eighty three in the league eight and six overall lexington will fall before nine in the league five and thirteen overall a dominant win for the belmont marauders in the eleven point victory coach streit final thoughts they look
