ladies and gentlemen welcome to winter field house here in belmont massachusetts for tonight's division two north am i a tournament basketball action featuring your hometown belmont marauders and the visiting charlestown townies i'm coach  cumin joined in the booth by coach josh strait and the human computer golden pipes chet messer along with our director jerry miller served coach it's good to be here for some tourney basketball it's exciting there's good energy in the building already yeah you could just see that students are packed in people got here early and the kids were already on tape today talking about it thinking about it it's tourney ball it's not march but it's march it's not much but it's march and we're ready for some tournaments basketball here at the winner there's absolutely nothing like it pol three ball going i would i would give them bats that's the way to get ahead i'm on a pace but my thumb on is so dynamic pushing the break there soon could be on the arc but if you're going to play the inside game against them it's going to be very very difficult to pace them so they need to get those three balls and then obviously take a rush out almost like they know they have to force the issue here foul there was called on the floor on number eleven ben sever walk the first foul for belmont tonight has charlestown goes to work on the block good strong inside take there by franklin who day ties the score at four and belmont comes back yard damien looking for help now pollock comes up a nice little given  and it's going back the other way is number fifty five jake sunshine palak stands in and takes the charge nice job there by pollock in the low block to belmont football player right there got to give a shout out coach got it that was a big they are just fighting back cuts they're fighting vision right now it is really high level basketball they're playing at the right time and that's absolutely belmont strength is just playing great fundamental basketball as we see raymond baez into the game for the townies first action for opening it up to eleven to four garcia with the and look to phillips now out to resent it present day work and picked up by pollack now tobias bias holds finds garcia garcia decides against the screen by as will try to take the baseline almost knocked away by our damien bias can't find the mark easy rebound there for charleston and it was tyreke phillips with the points and that's going to be charles downs first time out of the night so could action here to start the first quarter eleven six belmont four minutes and twenty four seconds left on the clock talk to us a little bit about the strength of this belmont basketball team well coach as we've already been talking about their five man you know any mass basketball but they laugh to push the tempo and although you can pay them inside with size you can't keep up with them and when they won the set and went well it checks and they're going to have four or five deep ball shooters at all times so you have to press out to cover them and once that happens then the back cutting can happen then they can drive on you and if you back off and they're hitting three s i mean they take they don't scare you with size cut when they're hitting the threes they are basically unstoppable just a lot of speed on the floor as charlestown tries to answer with the press you are damning find sarawak you to beat it sarawak to dinoire n s in the corner shots up no good a little bit long big rebound  now for three rattles in an hour went about as far down the canisters you can without scoring and pops back out as charlestown will come back resending carrying now looks inside today has it knocked away by pollock dinoire and up with it another shot of the three but immediately recognize he had a step right to the basket then he found a great play belmont continuing with full court pressure here early in the game and that looks like a sarah he's up with a nice enjoy this basketball action i can check into the game for the first time tonight number ten will thrill al i mean this is where they get really really athletic and will is long and fast but he's also an jason resent day working off the screen little stop and pop can't find the mark strong rebound inside by takes it inside finds one in contact and with a continuation that could put charles down  not getting as many defensive rebounds although they do shoot threes to allow the long worry about but it's one of the things charles sox really capitalize and they happen early on and that's the second foul on ben sarawakian so that's a situation that we're going to have to keep a close eye on is he is an instrumental part of this belmont basketball team to annoy in the press to l a he'll take it right to the rack contact there on the floor no shot and belmont lin down from underneath the basket first quarter come on looks a little bit more comfortable beating the press in charlestown does here early in the game i'm sure with the ball know what they're trying to do charlestown playing active defense here they are damien pegged  people out there who write the rock who like to dribble like to move so it gives them a huge advantage when you're breaking a present for guys who are very comfortable and shakers great of flashing and tall and athletic and can make the right pass that was you are damien on the traveling violation turns the ball back over to charlestown baez the inbound from the side present day now for charlestown will lead the balance pass over to number three steven williams into the game taking the baseline is created in william kicks out to baez that's no good a little long sarawakian up with  now he'll pull it back out to bend back to al it stops and pops can find it a little tight to the back of the rim there watch out if willie gets hard to times or looks like we're out of russia shot a little bit when he gets a little more time here we we rarely see miss when he has some time so there was that height naf lettuces him by steven williams for charlestown and belmont is leading by only one forty seconds remaining here in the first quarter you are damien works well set shot for him and that's almost automatic for danny why and coach prince will take his first time out of the ballgame on that play it looks like danny pivoted a kick it to charlestown defenders jumped out to cover the three point line again they're worried about the three point line to just turn around ten feet from the basket wide open and said thank you i will be ours and they're small forward you know or are so good at set shots inside and little floatin runners inside really making the most out of those high percentage you know you know shots instead of just by the magically relying on trying to press the ball out to the outside what does seem to their office is very dynamic where you look at it it's a three point game char sounds hung around here but you know watching this game as a as an announcer as a fan of the steve i'm it doesn't feel like they've been like it's a strenuous authentic battle for them it feels like they can get their points they can get their buckets if it feels good tempo for them it just feels like charles sounds keeping up with them it and we're waiting for them to pull away and i was a teacher is worth texas i buy it really big to make it look very effortless so i said i haven't really kicked into that higher gear yet that there's something left in the tank and they can drive it up another level from where they are right now they haven't been parent or threes and when that happens watch out so here is resent day for charlestown picked up by our damien across half court over to bias baez deep directing the often back over to resent de mack and it's on him by as again back and forth up top go the townies present day again one really really great recovery and jake is so good at that at playing from behind and being smart it's feels like it's the fourth time they've knocked the ball from behind out of out of his shell sound of founders something that's very dangerous because the raf just sees a ball fly here's a slap who knows but really nice play yard damien with a quick shot doesn't look like he got all that off right at the buzzer and in front rims out so pamela anderson a three point lead at the end of one it's in one thousand to sixteen game fast paced first quarter here felt like there was a lot of action in it what do you think we're going to see from the marauders coming out here in the second quarter coach a member of the same i think i would i would like to think that they're going to want to start again getting the outside shot out i think the two of them but the last game i keep referencing the winchester game that was the last game we did i think the two of them went something like you know thirteen a seventeen or something like that i mean they're there which is on believe while i get much in that cave there i the pipes over to us the pegs over to us tonight so that coached right now i could do this game but he's here stat enough for us and came in with all of these you know little tidbits for us to use over the course of the game and standings and tournaments brackets and chad a big part of the  that's if they can get those poses a transition game over right now garcia now over to quilts are quilt are down into the corner back up top to garcia looks inside that suit day to day can't find the mark but the p was absolutely beautiful as poetry in motion right there for me are danny wilt are now back to garcia garcia inside to phillips charlestown with good smooth with the ball he's so effortless with his passing with the shooting with the shot it's it's just wonderful to watch it's a great day to watch any so effective they are damien a little bit long there on the set to here is by is from the corner to be over the back and well out of there and that's going to give charlestown another opportunity at the  back and forth we go and it's puts up the three x good and the other thing to look for us at this pace time on is used to it there's no way charlestown is there going to get tired out on this line of our  have to check out of the game three miss lay ups and then a short three pointer that smells like fatigue to me cause he is absolutely there dominant big man down there and coach as in cardoso having a conversation with a number fourteen frankly two they took a man i'm kind of surprised by this he gets four before the break that is there it goes goes down we're going to see jackson cast soci coming in and it's filling up here at the winter coach always nice to see we got back almost to travel but he keeps the pivot foot nice ball movement thereby charlestown as it's garcia with a hard push and they're going to cause a blocking power on your damien but that looked a little bit like that good little football running backs to pharmacy trying to take the baseline i going to get a time out it looks like here by charles i'm so coach pressured i notice play a little frustrated after that three that is they definitely the second straights possession maybe three out of four where back corner three has been wide open we've seen a belmont defender running the last kind of out the open man they keeping kind of playing to the play man but kind of almost a pseudo zone at times allowing  every time we're getting around six or eight point shots sounds coming back with a nice little mini run to bring it right back and belmont is seemed to be a little bit on able to really pull away and create that distance that i'm sure they'd like al on the p a will tell the youngsters play and hoop on the back court there to clear out of the way as we're set for the end of the second half excuse me the first half here two minutes and thirty two seconds left belmont leading by six yard damien with speed thinks about  he's been doing a lot of work keeping a lot of people occupied tipping a lot of balls that's been here which charlestown with a little bit of sloppy play there quilt are able to save it fall away from the noise and can't get it to fall not far off that mark though good job getting back by belmont and again i see a little push off right there to want to any in physical player so far tonight braman garcia the senior guard the court i mean he doesn't he's not the guy pushing the brakes getting the steals but he's hidden three after three he knows exactly where to go on the floor he is so smart and he is so dangerous he's poised to for young super poise and he's probably first half of the belmont crowd is fired up here marauders taken a nine point lead into the locker room as they'll jog off the court and into the locker room and we just hear chet the huge computer messer coming in here telling us that danny are damien has twenty points in the first half alone coach strike closing thoughts to finish this half before we come back for the second i mean they're playing ball on pass while they're getting to do exactly what they wanted to regardless of charts and makes it close again or now they are having their way they're getting their shots they're pushing their break i'm calm cool and collected i'm relaxed on the side of a second half a really really fun fast paced basketball well he's coach just right i'm coaching acumen with our director jeremy i'm a servant chap messer we're going to forty to thirty one here in the school for belmont leading by nine to start the third i feel good coach i got a slice of pie when me energized children ready to go for the second half damian inside to deny it off the grass it's good telling his teammates involved now to any dynamic player twenty points in the first half as we said starts the second with and assess and we'll see in the terror mitchell now first time out on the floor for charlestown to start the third quarter a couple of new bodies out there number forty five julien curry out there too might be a little bit of tired legs there on the charlestown bench because belmont was certainly pushing the pace throughout the first half kid really knock you out of contention if they just keep this pace and you can't keep up and their head in their shots and they're making their place we've got to wonder too if that's why you're seeing some of these new bodies out on the floor for charlestown that in foul trouble is that on the entry right there will turn the ball right back over to belmont and their lead is quickly expanded to thirteen but i'm at the fence a play i mean tommy was beaten it just gets his hands and they're not fouling really really sma turnover first time right there that the presses had any sort of success against bomb on his dinoire and picked up the dribble early and back and forth on the turnovers we go past charlestown comes back with it now raymond bias over to phillips phillips with the skip path to resign de long three can't find the markets up in about an hour damien will come away with it danny now just graceful speed annoying in the corner is that's three and sell rajai to a vet is indeed and that's not something that we like to see slightly incredulous about that call and the charlestown big man franklin who day back into the game dangerous pass there is manik is a macro and is able to wrangle it to noise and right to the ra we've got the peanut gallery over here to our left coach and former defensive coordinator day of prayer and former head freshman coach mike hill dave on to bigger and better things and coach hill the head coach over at madden on had a great four win season most w to fifteen points so i've noticed so far i mean it's a fifteen point lead looks no different it doesn't seem to executing any more and he was in the work order one quarter to the playing the same brand as basketball they're  making a couple of tough shots but charlestown now is fading in the end this is one of the things they were able to keep up in the first quarter but if you're not hitting three zip you're not making some big time place you can't go basket a basket for them you'll get tired you can always go to the pain they've been missing lay ups and this is really where you're seeing the conditioning and just i mean we haven't actually this is on us for not talking about just how well coach common is that they're making the right place and coach pritchett and his philosophy in the way that he practices and the way that he gets these guys ready for these games and to beat press defenses and move the ball around and get multiple passes before going to the rack eight to eight to two outscored charlestown in the first four minutes of the third that's what stretch the lead talking into our ear here i think next year jeremy we need to get a little here piece or something so chad can talk to us to see more of that they had three in the second quarter they've been trying to get on the inside they haven't gone back to the three ball yet today working on pollock can't find the market's going to go off i thought of the day but they're going to stay it's say it stays down he basketball kind of it's like a rope off of good off the back iron that was quilt top as you are damien up with it pushes it to dinoire and he can't finish little contact down low but no call close to a travel there but not drive is no good put backs no good  basket that he's able to avoid contact but getting kind of hit it off balance where doesn't look like much there probably fouls but he's just so composed that he doesn't get the calls and he's so strong and so physical go in the basket he never gets the calls always ends on the ground it's good because he retains his composure he can make the basket it's back because he's not getting to the two calls he said deserve it he deserves jason rozanne day now for charlestown stops and pops there that shots off the front i are no good big rebound there by little guide any are damien danny not wasting any time kicks it out to ennis from his  bit short come get ready for baseball season with the just a bit outside right there i bet shot right there from garcia's no good who do you up with it in a strong take to the basket over p thereby charlestown today now pushing on al it they're going to get the foul on the floor there that's either no color that's an often supply shop they have been aggressive with the basketball in their hand tonight  not making the most of those opportunities going to get a little conversation now just underneath the baseline and about one hundred fifty referees in the belmont student section talking about the call and it will be pel fifteen point six seconds left here in the quarter alex not scared to keep taking it can't find the mark and that's ok matt says coach pressured you want that you want work to keep shooting keep trying to find his stride was coach coach i play senior year what will say he would have been and still could be an unbelievable little attack when farce and belmont outscored charlestown sixteen two six in that third quarter that is a quality guarantee he is we have some big plans for him i hope the scouts are watching this one right i don't think so but i would say that office of the events i mean we have operating i'll start thomas power coming back t marauder basketball and you guys make sure we're seventeen days away from tryouts make sure you come down to harris and check the marauder lax team coach streit his staff and his team out as we start to spring a my name of the gave  there again fifty six to thirty nine really pushed it there i was i was wondering to see if they were really going to bleed out the shot clock for the rest of these possessions i mean it was kind of midway and start attacking about fifteen seconds left me at something then that's the first time we've really seen them get the call on the body great body control there and they're going to get the foul on the terror mitchell i mean he had the breaks real heart there when he got to make or realize he was about to get trapped and that's actually that is a super super so make you smile play there were few went over and he was trapped you'd be in a world of trouble he pulls a totally back reverses a and there's that delayed release while he's in the air i mean so many little things that this kid yard damian does well on the basketball court and i don't think i've seen a player in the last couple of years who's who could stop and start so quickly and again i mean he has a three point he has the drive is the mid range he's talking about a skill set no fear no go out anybody and right now he smells blood in the water and you can really see he's in attack mode now and he wants to take this game over and he wants to put charlestown out deep three at the horn there bio's a garcia ball mind up with it i care damien will slow things got to set your feet there's feet were up in there and he was moving as the offensive player leaned into our you so you even got to get a position arlene set your feet or you've got to get away from contact that it's the right call it's going to be one of the toughest place to make really as a passkey ball defender just to get to that spot be able to take contact that dangerous play by our damien they're going to get him for that one so back to back fouls for danny  still still he flew away about from being nervous three was six minutes left that's ok i mean even those it wasn't a great play for that play going back to two plays ago trying to establish the position it is even for a team as well conditioned as possible and it is insanely difficult with six minutes left in the game when you've been grinding i mean danny as in really come out of this game and we'll have that there but i mean you can't fault him for getting his teammates involved i think thought i mean tommy turn of the last second thinking well was going to go up there it's a tough way to annoy and screen their frees the press nice take on thomas and he score this is where against is go for one more minute and then you could just start believing the clock twenty one with four is really especially when child sign is a really hit in the threes and i think that's going to go the other way as you are damien was able to get to the doing that over and over again stripes when you can give me the call finally got it four minutes and forty six seconds left here in the fourth some in the crowd are starting to get up and make their way to the exits the guys here scouting for the next round of the tournament i see the melrose red raiders coaching staff standing over there and with this win that's who belmont will see in the second round melrose coming off of an overtime victory against mascon ahmet in their first round game it's always a fun name to say masco i've seen a different belmont team but i've seen the last two games the same you know smart plays very well coached good hostle defense but this lexington game we saw we saw three after three after three this was a try the heavy game on their part and if you're thinking i'm thinking in the mindset of the melrose coaching staff you saw a team that could be totally different from what you're playing later this week and i mean al it is been shooting with with abandon from beyond the arc is a guy who's usually pretty white's out from back there too so you know he starts shooting the second around game and they can be a teenager a steam what a play there by our move towards the end of this game there's enough can't find the mark low back iron and coach pressures imploring his team to slow down the neuer gathers in the long three and danny will slowly walk the ball time to play a little bit of clock game here's the noise over the paul it leaves it for well danny now with ten on the shot clock bench helping him out with the count when you got a feel for this charlestown team i think you can really see the frustration starting to creep in a little bit and you gotta understand it for these guys after a long season make it to the tournament decent record at eleven and eleven and this is not been a great showing for the conditioning and practice pace and discipline on the practice for for this ball my team really plays into it because they have run this game and nobody on the floor looks tremendously guessed now it's the condition of the se a minute and a half helmet crowd student section imploring for some substitute subset now but this game is beyond quite a doubt right now it's a twenty three point lead with a minute thirty laughed and i mean that's how they felt like they played the whole second half that they did not want to give charles son a chance to come back in the scan and i we've seen you know a couple of games maybe also kind of learning the lesson from the win classical game last year where it felt like they were really controlling the pace and when classical was able to be able to come back and take that game friday at this friday night seven pm melrose belmont round to coach you up for wilson who will see will see what nasa like on friday that is you know bring the kid it's a family affair as a pairing the whole we down here let him enjoy a good game of high school basketball some good high school basketball action so he now will inbound to ryan limb you know we had like the carians and the and the collector generation and then we got you know paul ramsey last year wagner in china says and then you get the little collect now who's not that little down there on the block and sure we'll see him on the floor next year that's a little bit before my time here and here in belmont or at allegedly was my first year on pass their great safer charlestown by number forty five julian curry and we're inside ten seconds as the last ditch is no good curry hangs on the rams stays charlestown basketball with seven point eight left on the clock and we're just waiting for the formalities here is the belmont bachus up the belmont student section is yet shot doesn't fall charlestown up with it inside a second as the last three point shot range away that's no good and ladies and gentlemen your pal on the riders take the first round of the d t north tournaments seventy two to forty seven over the visiting charlestown townies coach last thoughts on this game this is a really fun game to watch a really well played game by belmont and some of the things danny's  when we get his final point total in the sack and that will overshadow a lot of what we saw but take pollock early on with incredible t fence really small plays by to no end by sailor watch it with great passing really really good team often so early on and again all set up by the man the myth of legend coach at a pressure which is a really really well orchestrated performance danny why we're being told now with thirty five point five points here in the first round i mean just great fundamental basketball by by this marauder team you know just great fundamental basketball you heard it here first chance gets a pretty gives a pretty high praise to do n e r damian in saying that he reminds him a little bit of of kyrie handling the ball out there on the floor using the back or changing hands but just great fundamental basketball move attack you from so many different angles and it's fun basketball to annoying with sixteen points the second leading scorer and you know what coaches are talking about how many different weapons they have here and you know that not to jinx them but those teams that can often make a good long run in the tournament you know if somebody is not really clicking and somebody is not really hard you know you've got other guys who can step in there and shoulder the load and really help out so i think we can be encouraged as this team goes forward into the second round for sure fun to watch  thank you as i was playing in the energy tonight call you always a pleasure hanging out here with you don't forget that belmont will play melrose at seven pm here at the winter on friday we're going to we're going to try to get coach to bring the kids and bring the family down here to girls are playing saturday at seven friday night will be live on the p h s sports t v network chad has the call the girls game on saturday i'm going to try to fly down here from new hampshire to get involved because man there is nothing like tournaments basketball for coach josh right
