ladies and gentlemen welcome to a winter field house here at belmont massachusetts for tonight's second round division two north am i a tournament match up featuring the visiting red raiders of melrose and your belmont marauders i'm coaching i'm cumin joined in the booth by chet golden saw that up tempo game the other night as belmont defeated charlestown handily by over twenty points to any yard damien leading the way with thirty five that night and it's anthony coloe starting things off for the red raiders nice little jumper from the corner you are damien controls now for belmont annoyance back to yard damien he was fantastic in the round one match up floater is off the back i are no good bouncing around down there in a great save by number five fr close all work and he'll try to take it right up the middle leisel dish inside no good there by the not and it will be melrose basketball referees will confer here checking the shot clock showing for right now three am i a officials tonight trying to decide whether or not they get thirty seconds of poor seconds first action of the night for a while i coming up on six minutes yet belmont has no score on the scoreboard stanton now to enjoy his past but it's secure not santa nicolo so with a stop in park nine nothing melrose sloppy with the basketball well it with the save they're going to the floor time out call by coach casper zach and melrose has the energy so far tonight chad what do you think all my needs to do here to kind of stem this opening run by the red raiders say look a little nervous and a little lackadaisical i think they've got to get their game together but they can't let the rose get too far ahead of them although they you know belmont can score a lot of points really decided to cancel play alternative play in all sports and so that finds us here on sunday night and a couple of guys were texting me over the over the weekend they were a little antsy to go couple of those football guys let me know when the when the reschedule was going to be and they were they were antsy to go so you have to wonder if that little forty eight hour layoff maybe for a little bit of a wrench in their preparation right but that could that could affect melrose absolutely but no they've cut off to a very slow here i think they've only had two shots at the who maybe only one now rose of course coming off of an overtime thriller against mascon ahmed in the first round there's a trap press well my given him a little trouble as the belmont fans are getting up  iran over to stand trying to get it over to put right and belmont forces are turned on or need to see some of those chat yes but that was as a result of some really good events and don't go on most pretty well on the defensive side  and they can shoot the three match up zone here ellis to ennis in the corner and as for three and it's way short that's where melrose up with the air ball that's usually and  spot right didn't get the legs into the shot there here's colos you are damien on him and it's an easy path to the rack for colossal but he can't finish lot of bodies on the floor and it's up with the basketball looping pas long pas three zero seven left here in the first belmont behind the eleven the two a little bit of a banging down their black hole which can't finish tied up on the block by sunshine jump bar possession arrow belmont jake pollock does it again easy as his coach as he's a horse something he is good strong doesn't look very strong necessarily because he's kind of slowly but the real talk he's a lean guys a football guy right there are leading our leading receiver this year middlesex league all star and speaking of comebacks if you were out at the net o'brien rincon woburn yesterday afternoon you got it onto he does it and it was a great game got an opportunity to see belmont squeak out of three to two when justin roach a with the game winner twenty three seconds left in the third period after arlington and stormed back jets to make it a two two game was a fantastic hockey game and then we came back over here for the six pm start and that this is this is going for the second round sweep of tomake it all right with girls of course winning their match up handily last night the belmont girls played a game last night it was very similar to the game that the boys played against house down fast just pushed and pushed and pushed and i heard a lot of the shots from the corner that she was giving up you know not taking earlier she had last night that's fantastic she had twenty seven points and that's what we're hoping to see a little bit from don't want to because they were a little bit off shooting against charlestown well back i dinoire looks like it that's one on top and it'll send frantz perrott the senior forward to the line no good on the first call mark crowd gets into it as karate silences them by hitting the second good crowd in the student section tonight files i think i didn't think that one was played gave him a chance to come down but it looked like it moved in under him we want to say the two best officials in the state are standing right up here watching this game with the headsets on we are here we are pretty good  they're going to get an over the back call there on s comes back into the game he's a fun kid to watch you yeah he's got that little stuffed curry release down in there as a second time with jake sr seen a big post player franklin you day referee is going to have a few words with him you don't like to see that for now a senior senior substitute for coach mike casper zach's red raiders in a cozy touch as the front of the wind and finds it and annoying will come back into the game is finale get an opportunity to cool down a little bit one of those instances less of a high scoring game than the start of the charlestown game a week ago in a cozy now has a stout body down there and it stops him pops in and gravels around the cylinder and pops out melrose coming back with it now good bit there by jake to set his feet referee wasn't having it having a little trouble executing their game they seem a little of the same and there are times not just working in that flow that they usually get into but this is a resilient team see coach smith's are field hockey coaches in the building along with her two sons and daughter and my main man cam is up on the railing gripped up and really anybody wants to you know build us a sort of private little walled in booth here we can certainly take one maybe some air conditioning you know i'm a humidifier yeah right and got a you know keep to keep the air you know nice and well plus to get the heat from the equipment if we are up there and i there are a bunch of games earlier in the season that there was a lot of problems with humidity on the floor yeah i'm all over the state small gems with a lot of people and a waiting a little bit for danny to get going here right now only got to tell it now as melrose continues to sit in zone l it with the deep three and  third three for well at nine points by way of the three for him and belmont leads by one here's kusa lido follows all back to kusa lito picks up the dribble ask melrose working quickly now herat long past the stand step back thinks about it looks inside that's been oh the captain fouls called on the floor it's going to be on thomas the no in his third will rise smile from the no in there parts going to get get thomas out of there with one forty seven seconds left in the second quarter watch out if they start getting hot beyond the yard now rose would be swapping to swith three will take that man how to clean i'm not a mathematician but i'm pretty sure th there he goes with speed pull up j back i are no good right well at the end of the first half belmont started off slowly but they're going to nurse a seven point lead going into the locker room chat before we take a break what do you see as the keys for belmont going in here to the third quarter well in spite of a slow start they think they were down eleven's iput one time maybe nine zip but in spite of a slow start they really got back into their rhythm a little bit particularly so in the last three minutes of the first  been helpful because melrose good shooters from the three pm point land but the ten don't want to cut in and score a two point layup and if well you know it and the other three shooters for belmont heat up that's not a winning strategy you know i mean almost everybody on this bomb on team can shoot to three and they are damien and while that mac and it's a really special at it so don't go anywhere don't touch that dial we'll be back in about ten minutes for the second half and then h s sports t v network you want to keep going belmont contact to the floor a lot of bodies flying around right and we're going to get a stoppage never like to see this now sitting up behind the backstop as belmont athletic trainer sarkis asked dorian is going to take a walk over to take a look at him for kovac is up and ready to enter should need be but he's got one of the best in the business there working with him i tell you sarkis ass adorns a fantastic eighty a fantastic athletic trainer obviously we get to have interactions with him football and he's just so good at getting guys healthy and getting guys back on the field so that's definitely the guy you want checking you out and that makes it an eleven point lead now early in the third quarter all working against the trap a rod is up and walking good to see walking on eight it looks like sarkozy is going to take him to the training room to take a quick look a second foul on stanton as colos oh we'll check out michael for now we'll check back in need to yeah that was a big big start in the third you know and i mean we were talking about it last week too that belmont is such a well conditioned team and they play so fast and the play fast all the time and you're really in the third quarter and going  first for mack is good it's a thirteen point game now excuse me seventeen point game now i wasn't a math major your english teacher and i'm an english teacher as a history major  second chance points to a good break there by melrose that's mike for now with the finish belmont coming back forty five twenty eight the score now rose playing with some urgency on defense great ball movie by belmont kick out to noise and it's up no good off the back iron pollock with the board and it's now yeah about as quick as anybody i've seen at the high school level this year and the good news for melrose is that the rock is back on the bench belmont and that's going to be a time out coach cast exactly going to have to do some work to get his melrose red raiders back so should belmont win this game chad who are they seeing in the next round and the next round my problem with trying to remember all of this is that i'm trying to remember the girls you got lucky game you got a lot you got a lot of brackets you know a lot of bra that is not where you want to be with three minutes left here in the third and they're going to get close out of there he's been a little bit out of control it'll  your damien del mar with a twenty six point lead it's just that was considered a like an office a fall as they are damn in no good melrose ball no one on the rebound as it broadcast this is really a team that has a ton of guys who can contribute in a lot of different ways yeah exactly so you know you got a guy danny scoring thirty five in the first round match up and you don't need is thirty five and i still got fifty six on the board in a with the contact n e r damien knocked it away from stan went right to the rack and now rose get a little sloppy with the basketball and they can't afford it it's not time for that fifty eight to thirty  unless they're twins they could be fraternal twins the night sixty two thirty the score here who is a legal right to the rock dishes out set shot for number ten for the not is good relax he took a tough little role as he hit the deck if he  and jake's walking underneath his mom will give him a tap and fall into the training room great family perfect family and just a great  shot a little bit after the horn and a little short as belmont now will take a sixty four to thirty four point lead as they head into the fourth quarter and belmont's had a big third closer with a little bit of a push off air but i think the refs are going to let him play here in the fourth right danny ten on the clock and there's the not now rosie has to be a little bit careful with the aggressive aggressive steal so all of these belmont guards have a pretty good handle uses the screen finds joe stand inside the charles big party there nice turnaround post play from the big fella some tells you that kids probably football  second from dinoire in his good seventy two forty six know i like to see it seventy two to forty six in my castors act there on the melrose sideline is still coaching his guys up timeouts going to be called their bias trapped in a corner that's really something that you look for in coaches chad i'll be honest says you know great coaches they keep coaching you know i don't stop coaching at any moment in time and we've definitely seen that from from mike z a football coach as well catches acts of big football am around these parts i'm not sure he's definitely not their head coach rb to morris a great a great name in massachusetts high school football in melrose has been an outstanding football program for a lot of years under coach maurice a good guy twenty seven to twenty and luke happy hopkins is checked into the delight of the belmont faithful part of some wholesale substitutions here also going to see number five also fast uses the collector screen stepped on the baseline going the other way brians a tall fellow oh and of course the brother of marauder great adam clarke and his one thousand one hundred fifty nine point banner sits directly to our left brian as coach purchase going to get some of these guys some action never hurts to get some of the younger guys andrew brown back in lack of it said shot just inside the free throw line no good hopkins with the strong rebound and he'll push it loose the handle gets it back picks up the dribble inside to sarah darian no good andrew joe stands got a good three shot here's limb with speed that's ryan will push off there collect thinks about the set shot no good over to jason when chasing women now closing in on two minutes ryan lim sarah darien for three no good one her stand for three no good it's going to be an over the back all right there you get big mike football for his first year out this fall i was right in for another three to make them all come close early dishes it off the limb trauma ryan wrong pass there for her early as he comes up with that hopkins can't handle the heat i don't see a lot of that looks got great hands some of the best hands on our team i was never yep fantastic fantastic  that'll send him to the line for us but this is definitely a basketball town over the hurley he now and that should do it three to one and ladies and gentlemen that's the ballgame as belmont will be headed to the division two north semifinals a convincing seventy four to fifty two thanks jim often seventy four to fifty two point win versus the melrose red raiders a little bit of a slow start for belmont tonight but they were really able to turn  think so they're a good basketball team and belmont's three point game was really something that they stepped up for them tonight we didn't see a lot of it and that first round when you but you don't you know look down on you don't know who god who do you g
