wolverines at seventeen a no look to cap off a perfect regular season against the ashland team that is twelve and six coming into this game i'm here with glenn parsons this is michael j we're going to do our best not to hatchet these names and insult these families too much ashland looking to press early knocks a second shot down four to westwood ashlynn has historically played with very tough and although although there what controls the rebound over thirty two john van cleef missed that shot he actually traveled with the westwood team over to germany this past summer fast paced game as we start off here g score the basket actually take it back they do not give in continuation not sure that was a goal to end it looked like it had a backward first but i will take it a number twenty two michael boudreau his first personal file that's a second team file coach mark champagne a little confused they're not exactly sure what happened when it's been a few years can you remember senior night for glen feinberg for two again he is on fire this pace both teams were going deep to their bench i think today follows a number thirty three that's a cameron finish his first personal three three team files and ashlan here with three minutes and twenty nine seconds to play in the first quarter westwood fifteen to start fifteen to twelve shooter course we're going to make up stats as we go along tonight to make it make it sound like we're prepared just off the mark mark john hinckley's did a nice job establishing position well jessop took it took it hard and often will be called on we'll just his first personal file that's the first team fall for westwood substitution for westwood that's a number for quinn albert or back for a piece of that substitution for both ashland and westwood number thirty five devoted to him about him coming back in with coach champagne is getting more animated now by the minute oh nice off the bank shot summer thirty four paul boudreau scored his first budget cuts the lead to five twenty one sixteen after one westwood not there a typical star there actually coming out of the gate not going down some shots problem is their defense innocently been the level that they've expected allowing sixteen first quarter points are not exactly sure what their average is but i think that's probably a little bit north of what they've been allowing in the first quarter i would have to agree for sure on the twenty one sixteen though they're going to be  you know they've got to get a good crowd we're expecting yet another snowstorm this weekend and speak for most of westwood were sick and tired of the snow so we were happy to get this game in and we've got the riley classic coming up on this coming weekend sunday monday another another cool thing tonight we've got the third grade in town boys playing at halftime so we had we had a third grade boys last year when they were in second grade play the last home game of the year as well and the kids absolutely loved it so should be should be a fun event so if it's given will stay out there along with the four senior captains jessop mo having called number five francis for ashley he's out there if you notice there's three or four used to me yeah so they're typically about with three games left to play in the regular season they go to a three man crew to get ready for the tournament you know when done properly it's it's great however it the referees a while to adjust to it so sometimes going to see some some awkward angles and some indecision among the referees on whose call it is i would rather that ice block there i thought there was  some some contact but to point game twenty one nineteen early in the second quarter westwood with six early turnovers here the uncharacteristic who had a very hot hand early in the game goes coast to coast and scores  referees make sure that they had the thirty second clock correct is true with the second westwood by two twenty seven twenty five cleef nice given go couldn't control the ball and more with a very heads up play grabs it causes a jump ball that will turn it over to west young the last year nice defense by jess it gets it over to moyo thirty two twenty five westwood that are looking at going to deal quarter for jess at coach mark champagne cost timeout nine zero run at least thirty four twenty five westwood has been a very streaky team throughout the best of anybody's knowledge we don't think they've gone undefeated before i checked with a few old timer westwood folks who would know about the seventy's and eighty's and they they said no and you know if you didn't you only won the league and you would know the old timers i can't say enough about what he's done with the program and you know speaking for the for the youth program he's been so so involved so instrumental in what we're trying to do and teaching the fundamentals that he expects the boys to have when they hit the high school level where frankly the first and second grade levels all the way through three nineteen to play here in the second quarter westwood with a nine point advantage shot of the game is off the mark jessop with another rebound early in the game westwood a reporters on the way and it is good to see jet set on fire here in the second quarter has nine points leading all scorers in the second quarter at that end of the court first one is through is ten point here in the second quarter second one is off the mark push ice up under very nice play by number eleven christian bank leave john's younger brother he's a sophomore i'm sorry junior his first basket swings of all over the t v you know just off the mark with a three quarter looking press with another rebound to seventh rebound here in the first half go strong to the hoop michael some of them you know i'm kind of pulling him out of the air but most of them i'm keeping track it's just off the mark it's his own rebound so not sure what they call their looks like an offensive foul i did not did not see that from this angle that that was  it is true four points here in the second quarter for the new thirty eight thirty one one minute and seven seconds to play here in the second quarter second is off the mark leonard clears the but clear the glass nice hossa plays like when albert wessel will maintain possession twenty three point three to play here in the second quarter nine point advantage westwood and coming out of the break westwood with a nine point advantage looking to come out in that put this game out of reach early take any question of ability to come back into this game right out in the first two minutes here the twelve points for jess it leads all of all scores at a huge second quarter with a with ten ashlan continues just hang around coaching moment for from our champagne given for three it is good great look by brandon morrow i find spitz given in the corner for three looks too deep and they're about to break out big time when they could just did everything else go right for ashley to hang in there so fifty two thirty eight four minutes and thirteen seconds to play here in the third quarter westwood with another spurt to  increase their advantage to fourteen ball you got to look for your open player defensively both teams very very well coached a west where that's been a staple of their of their undefeated season is it's the intense full court man to man and you know there's really not many wrinkles that they throw out there it's it's fairly basic man to man help defense they've got a couple of wrinkles to take certain players out of their rhythm but just great to see you look at west look at the balance they've got they've got size have got quickness they've got shooters they've got a deep bench  they've they've you know playing the right kind of asked for right brand of basketball thanks to the coaches you know there's going to be a tough fight for somebody in the tournament so westwood already guaranteeing themselves home court advantage through the semifinals of the tournament with their with nice nice patients back when albert gets the ball crosses the  up in nice number fourteen eight in philly given five points here in the third quarter increase of the lead back up to fourteen for westwood six points for van cleef westwood twelve point advantage really getting to know a lot of these players when they can win the westwood team was not a westwood team but a local team travel to germany with a coach say martin most mike norman over the summer great experience for the boys many of the senior captains for westwood went what a great experience i must have been  nice up in under nice and under by boudreau unable to bank it in a number forty eight bits get with another rebound for westwood nice cross over by unselfish play by westwood thirteen thirteen to shoot a lot of young players out there for westwood absolutely hadn't hit bottom a junior took his eye off the ball there and led to a turnover max feinberg in for ashland where i thoroughly thoroughly confusing the ashland team here where it werry and add on table and we actually don't count every little ledge we can give us would like what was on the line number eleven christian van cleef john's younger brother knocks it down eight point game ashlan on a run of their own six straight points all scored by then clean another uncharacteristic turnover oh linehan will pick up the pick up the p hands third personal foul nationals a chance to cut this down to six and westwood not able to put them away early in the third quarter and ashton just hanging around thankfully off the mark his first first trip to the fallen today's zero four one westwood go back to a senior mostly senior lot of actually three seniors two sophomores there's three of them so again there's more opportunity for them not to make the call errantly with that said it was nice defensive play was going to straight line definitely alter the shot but the referees thought there wasn't enough contact  well jessa from getting his fourth early in the fourth quarter let him really play the brand of defense that he's used to playing up should be fun here in the fourth quarter westwood trying to go to an eighteen a no perfect regular season from what we believe the first time in and the boys basketball program history yes certainly in the modern history person is good i would grab the perfect five for five from the line second one is true ice back to a ten point advantage westwood fifty six forty six seven thirty to play here in the fourth quarter nice patient by westwood  j oregon trying to have two conversations at on factionalism he's not he's not insulting any of the officials definitely class act he's a he's a funny clever guy you pay attention to what he say how do you how do you know mark if we go way back and actually he was a advantage sixty three forty nine five forty one to play with his legs length goes over the lid off that hole three ten three attempts at that one over that doesn't come back to bite westwood bench it is funny watching and watching mark work these refs referees it's a fine line and i think you skates it very well you know as all these guys westwood sixty three forty nine with boy finds him for two and twenty two matty i would rather that his second second personal foul six on westwood four minutes and thirty one seconds to play and ash will be in the bonus going forward michael drug goes up for three managed three minutes fifty three seconds to play one more basket could be the back breaker but three zero just off the marks and i get a great great example they're leaving it open for three pointer down sixteen doesn't go in but you still call time out and again i you know i have to i have to draw a parallel with what's the same martin does i mean there's games this year where they've been up thirty points and you think they were down thirty i mean he's coaching these boys especially some of the younger on the class and just as a phenomenal job ca this game look at those two referees and strongly question whether they can whether they be eligible to referee a youth youth basketball game never mind a high school game one of the few things that did not go his way tonight fall is on number eleven michael leonard again as far as i go is from this angle it looked to be a different call but the official obviously had a better angle translation that was a terrible call looking at his father in the stands i think you would agree with you grow knocks the first down again what's great about this though is you know westwood hopefully will comfortably win this game but it gives a coach a mind something to continue to work on a number fourteen mitchell porter that's his first personal f the tables been given  over fourteen point advantage westwood michael leonard swings the ball i can't help but think of his father sitting in the stands and if that was paul he would have let that fly oh you're in that one that was controlled chaos little bit of a little bit of history with jay horgan and  follows a number eleven michael letter that's his fourth personal  and michael mccarthy will go to the line far this season adding some you know some some senior leadership first one is just off the mark thirty eight point four seconds to play here west will get comfortable seventy one fifty nine lea can bottom well dribble the clock out five seconds left and that'll do it goes to eighteen i know a perfect regular season seventy one fifty nine absolutely great effort by west where they were sloppy at times but i'll tell you they made the baskets one account they clamp down their defense fifty nine points is slightly under the average they've allowed great job  coach steve same our and i want to be the first to congratulate you on the undefeated eighteen zero season thank you very much yeah it's been fantastic these guys are so great whether we were eighteen and no we're not they use common they work just so focused on getting better and they're just such a great group of kids and coach are really great tonight senior night came out strong actually you typically struggle out of the gate you really want very strong right great to see senior leadership out there yeah i think that michael lang is going to be pushing now to start because he's going to be the case and say he's the catalyst of a strong start but no they did they came out really really hard try to set a tone early for themselves and and again it's just that they're trying to get better as and it's great to see the fundamentals out there even when you've been up twenty five to thirty points in some of these games the boys just keep keep at it you're coaching from start to finish so it's really great to see appreciate yeah i mean you know again it's a testament to damage last year seniors were the first group we had for four years these guys had a chance to go through that and as the grades keep coming up we know yourself first of all we do all the youth work with you in the w p a and that pays huge dividends  then for our players to get used to going through the entire start to finish from freshman year all the way up to have that now is really big in you know we were able to do that now consistently great to see all of your coaching summer as associate head colds he do that a lot in call each and it's just a testament to how hard he works he's in charge of all different things from social media aspects of our twitter account he's the one that set the website up he split that with pat harris coach eris and my calls and all the scores which gets us to the globe and heralds to some recognition for what we've been able to do it's all because of what mike does he's the one that ordered the t shirts that say our way on and he comes up with a slogan every year and puts that all that together he just does such a fantastic job and it's a lot of fun coaching with and i told that i said i can't imagine our culture with you anywhere else and i know at some point you know he's prime him self to be a head coach and he and he has the ability to go do that and it's just like i said you know you try to tell the guys every day you want to cherish this time because you don't know what's going to happen in the future who's going to be wearing stuff and he's one of the guys that you know i just can't imagine o absolutely the rest of the coaching staff as well brian douglas done a great job as the j v coach this year i mean ryan's been fans and as his as a new coach to come in to try to adapt to what we do and put stuff into what we do it's not an easy thing to do mike and you know that and you know and it's a it's a hard thing to be able to bring a whole new idea of what we do because some the stuff we do defense in these different in a lot of places and he was willing to keep growing and then you have pat harris who's an old coach harris does all the scouting he's seen every team in division two that we could possibly play at least once or twice in every t v al team appears all the sky reports he also does the other half of the website he controls that stuff with the scores and stats and updates the  and he he does a fantastic job all season long preparing the kids for the difficulties it is for what it's going to be like when you get to that next level you know and nobody does it better than he does and he's just a fantastic guy to work with and people  realize that the amount of time he does he's the only freshman coach that will own away game take the bus back with his team then jump in his car and drive and that's games against ashland against know what he does it all ok no matter th distance he still does that and that's something special that a lot of programs don't get a chance to do how to shift back to the players so senior night you had great contributions tonight and throughout the whole season you're not just from your foreseen captains but across the board all your seniors what does it mean to finish out an eighteen a season for the seniors i think it's it's a me we said in the locker room and just how special it actually is for a lot of reasons first of all it hasn't been done here in the voice side and so it's never been experienced and the other thing too is these seniors came in from day one when we met the first meeting we had with the senior class and we talked about goals and they're the ones that came up with the team goals and they set these goals for themselves of all the things they want to accomplish and we've been able to do that so far and they're the r constant push is how to get us better you know and they come to practice every day mike mccarthy who doesn't play a lot comes in does every drill hard michael when it does every drill hard we get in the weight room they push each other they push themselves and then you gardy you know in the offseason and told me you have to work on these particular things and what he does he goes out and does and he makes guys better in practice and then you get the full captains which is fantastic in their own right and do so many wonderful things faurisson it just great but mike more importantly like to just great great kids they have a great atmosphere a bar and they have they joke a lot they're funny they take care of each other they make sure all the underclassman have rides they make sure reed wilson our manager has a ride to the pasta dinner we have the two met go kids that they make sure they get a ride if it's super cold they give them a ride to their house or a place where they can meet somebody for a ride they get them from bus stops i mean all them split that up and do that consistently and that's a program just he's trying to get better i mean the way he's improving is jump stop so much and the fine tae has all the tools to be such a great player i mean i i'm all i constantly ride him to get better and he he wants to be so good and he tries so hard and  and he's he comes to practice he wants to get better he's worked so hard on his game work so hard and his left hand works so hard his post moves and we ask him to do a lot and he does you know and to vino when point albert come in in plain significant minutes to get themselves better when you know we got her in the hopkinson game he had a play he started the next game and it's midway and in the trying to get themselves better and then dillon who's come on fantastic he comes every day to practice with the right attitude he's all he you know you say his name you teach him something he wants to learn it is just as easy guys to come just easy easy guys coach and it's just again from our standpoint it's yes fantastic you know it has a cold we talk about all the time and how wonderful it is to come to practice every day with a group of guys fourteen guys that are pushing themselves over and over and over again you know and it's just it's it's really special and in the brian garden who's been hurt you know he
