s head coach that suits my talked to us before the game about a lucky charm that he has and he's never coaches without it's a blue towel now this thing has been ripped apart and sewn back together it's been forgotten at home and his wife has had to bring it to him to work but he hasn't coached a game without it in 27 years I asked him how many times that towel has been washed and he said well this year it hasn't been washed since Christmas when they have gone on a 22game win streak now only one game left to go and that towel is gonna come in handy for that team today guys superstitions are a beautiful thing when him when he coached the girls he had a pink towel another two guys that used to like towels Jerry Tarkanian and Linus Shawn Snoopy the only time with Chuck the same I'm sure good look inside on this knocked away but it's been googling stays with the one man did you see the patient's by Vancouver and that was going to get blocked but he
knew someone was behind him the reason why he's a co-captain he's got six points if you tell it got on a moral compass of his team Hayes with a ton of heart with the rules inside tip the child won't go to Braylon tony tenant living rooms just under three minutes got three minutes to play in the opening quarter TJ again can't get anything open on the baseline and the

News fans they appreciate this defensive effort Falco it'll go against legend Jeter hey wanna hear withthe coaches and players are talking about after the game we have to do is click out MHSAA TV for free live videos post game press Congress gets the quotes before they hit the evening news be apart the president a TV like the defense love the red sport coat Lamont a stone is a phenomenal defensive coach and why would you if you played for Lofton green I think he may be the greatest coach in state of Michigan high school history listen can I pull off a red sport coat you think I wouldn't ride
anytime soon but there is a development here is banku Green picks up his second personal team and he's gonna have to head to the bench wow what a what a big development remember on the score six of the eight points so far for
unity
Christian
keep an eye on this score giant here write it down okay can when he went out I want you to reference that score what happens now offensive foul with the roof talking a little bit about wrong didn't rain Lamont a stone was saying when he grew up hedidn't know about the NBA he didn't know about college all he knew about was playing someday for the great Lofton green his mom was a cheerleader on the sidelines for Lofton Green's team to his uncle's played for the great coach and so when you grow up in that comm
unity
you wanted about playing forRiver
Rouge
the other way in transition look easy da Genova now with 8 votes still with the rules relentless with the pressure but look at and what a delivery and Nigel Colvin is onfire to start this game he's got eight points two three but that was it look good not a good look at I would force feed him the ball Johnny he's got a beautiful shot Lamont a stone said that he is the best shooter in the entire state of Michigan under thee I hit the floor body looked to be bossy take a look at notice away wow that's a push there is no reason for that come on Paul Hayden's a guy they bring in he's committed to Central Michigan Michigan is a defensive back from
football that'd be a good way to jam a receiver at the line but not something he can do in a high school
basketball
game and that could listen for it so it'll be Derek Slager who heads to the free-throw stripe and Derek Slager is a huge success story think about this for a second he's the sixth man and he made all conference how does that happen usually the best player the all-conference dud is a starter he's featured sixth man last year a shooter a rebounder such an effectiveplayer yeah tough to make all-conference is a six man that's for sure so it's 12-8
River
Rouge
here if the officials tried to sort it out because it was grant Balcer who hit the floor so he'll have to come in looking at Metron Kochi moved by coach shoots ball why not try to get your best free-throw shooter ago first one won't go can you imagine how hard it is to step up there by yourself in this environment with all that is on the line deep breath before the second secondit's good three-point game 1:35 to play opening polls you should call it to see how it goes have a Nieuwenhuis in comes Noah whispering Bree entering the ballgame pretty good start for the Crusaders they've established that they can run their offense they've had a deep bench on the court so far showing that everybody's getting a chance to contribute 100 we hear coach stone talk about they needed to be able to turn all the
unity
Christian
and they've done that to this greatbalsam type our game to mcCormick this is the trip you may want to get Nigel Colvin a shot that will go Donovan Freeman they kick it out where's your the aforementioned golden wattle can triple rotten Island the beautiful commuter berry two moving parts three triples he's got eleven tough move off the glass at the left hand know this one the co-captain for the Crusaders Cleveland in the lane shot was blocked to be a whistle before hand looked beyond Chandler Collins versus versus eCourse
their rival allotted Nigel Colvin dude well not bad 11 for 13 from three and in the second quarter he went on and tied a state record with seven triples coach Todd says he believes he's the best shooter in the state that's high praise I haven't seen anybody better so far so good he's been as advertised Freeman

decides to do pressure being applied out of a jump ball situation and we do revolutions gameplan you know you'rewalking into it the relentless it's a danger zone if you turn your back against this defense it's a sign of weakness you've got to stay in your triple threat position eyes on the rim
River

has extreme speed if you turn your back you're going to get tied up now you're swearing to the bone we are able to get it in shot will go the newts nuit and here comes rage plenty of time on the clock they may hold cook Elisha is it too much to ask again for Colvin everything he shothas been perfect swinging the bass line trying to get through spy on four seconds to cry steel for

pedigree victories anything in the pace for unification to this content little bit too quick but that's a nice answer right nowRiver
Road I'm case for almost 70 points in this game also five turnovers is a lot in the first quarter coach Stutzman told me that if he could keep it under 15 he loves his chances to win this game right now they're on pace with 20 Gipson contributions from some different guys that bauhaus with the last layup another look to run again theymight like this quickened pace here good offensive rebound but start away the other fancy Jason like the effort we go courting three complete look at it stick back work good can't be pleased with the offense are getting here to open the second pool let's be sure iron mountain in Pewamo Westphalia a pretty intense game this is tense times - really fast really aggressive much more athletic because Tricia again got behind the details using the left-hander Collins so now

istaking advantage of the place here to open the second quarter
unity
Christian
is showing maple law especially on the Boers Scott sushma told me that rebounding is the number one key in this game why if you battle on the boards you limit second-chance opportunities but it helps you use it as a tool to control tempo coach Susman said their win against Benton Harbor in the regional finals really gave me some confidence for this game there's similar type of component might give up a little bitof size and athleticism but make up for with tenacity and grit you got a good one developing both teams playing gritty

Tricia Ryan tickets before this game started if you would have told me this pace was being played I would sayRiver

is athletic they're tough and they're skilled enough to hang with Lamont a stone and the Panthers still love that red sport I'll be sure I couldn't pull that off ask me tomorrowunity
Christian
under the basket I believe Noah whispered inbound who could look off the screen triplet I look like you might have gotten piece on Brian Jenkins is off the mark all right this is a danger zone time why number 32 white TJ Vancouver ank is a key contributor but he's got two fouls if they can drive in him to get that third the job gets a lot easier an important component of what they do is see if Brittany's decides to attack and instead carving turns it over nearly does the sameno stick back good patience look out for Zach Valhalla smokes three-point advantage for you see fans coming to their feet now rather than eight to run almost got another steal Donovan kicks it out Oh three-point time for my compares what do you do defensively you're scared to death of Nigel cold into the corner but he's surrounded by other good offensive players in Vancouver and had it knocked away underneath we got a time up here if the brezza were all knotted up 22 22 in the d2 finals
back right after this what we talk about winners have our Hudsonville

breeze runs a fun offensive system lemont a stone has told them guys go out there and play hard we're gonna work on defense and enjoy ourselves on the offensive end I don't think they're enjoying the last couple of trips under three to play second quarter look at the pressure will continue to bring try to dribble to it that is in Louisville no is learned the beauty of their bucket reset your defense and with a lead thebench she doesn't get that third foul coach suits me cold no unless were the engine that is driving the machine he's giving his team a two-point advantage almost a turnover and it is over him back the degree of difficulty 8.9 you look he's going across his body horrible angle with the left now that was ten eight nine three university player you know what he was a quarterback on the

new the fish to get off the couch I should say well she hit from both head coaches and well the highlights in the first step let's come up on Fox Sports Detroit meanwhileRiver

we've got a little something cookin here under 40 to play in the second quarter three-point shot no good Reba no line sack doghouse I've got one word to describeunity
Christian
on the glass too manly my house yousee that applying the pressure prep his heels kept right on the line so a turnover that's the age for an illusion both teams been the first time all right here's an adjustment man hoovering comes in the game you want to make sure you don't put him in a position to get that third foul or you've just wasted the last three and a half minutes with him sitting on the bench you got to believe if they're gonna bring him in they're gonna try to find something for him 12 seconds
to play second quarter foul called on Kemal Hey it's okay they had a foul to give take those stones as he brings an aggressive mentality as a football player who turns up the intensity Minh comes in off the bench he's got slide to feet a little bit better on that one I like the effort seven seconds to collect color Whistler off the dribble that one's going to be on Jason Norton senior another foul to give two seconds left what are your options Tim less than two well I think
they're gonna see a lot of quick hitting laws on either the corral that is a huge massive call Wow they had nothing but I believe it was the correct call he was under pressure now she to me is did he get it off before the court I'm inspired to another look at it we got a good look on replay dumpy safe and the officials don't have the plunger you see we'd yourself well as it were Tim before Zach Daum house goes in line and it's two of the three free throw opport

he'sgot eight points now no time on the clock in addition the lead he does not so 16 minutes of
basketball
to play one more look you tell me - I don't think he got it all coldest - points nobody asked you if I just did 28 28 we got a good one cooking here at the present what's it gonna take to take it home the second half our defense is not up to par it's not good rulesbasketball
we're reaching too much we're gambling too much instead of just playing solid man-to-man defenseand make them score over us we'll make that adjustment at halftime what other adjustments are you looking to make it happen and then we got to go inside more too many jump shots we got play inside out just sit outside here sounds great coach good luck second hand Thank You Johnny back to you he's preaching it you got a play inside out we got a good one just 16 minutes to decide the
division
to finals stay with us launching we got plenty halftime coverage including Michigan coming here onFox is he appear to us to be a normal middle schooler he had came down with a sinus infection and I took her in to the doctor and we were on some medication and she got better for a couple of days and welcome back to the Breslin Center we got a close one here all tied up at halftime at 28 28 now after being diagnosed with Wilson's disease Izzy Hoffman thought her
basketball
career was over little did she know it would actually give her even more strength in hope to continue the fight eachand every day is he appear to us to be a normal middle schooler he had came down with a sinus infection and I took her in to the doctor and we were on some medication and she got better for a couple of days and then just took another turn for the worse and it just wasn't making sense you know couple more weeks had gone by and we went in and got tested for mono a few other things they were pretty confident that whatever she was fighting was viral and she would be fine throughout that time I
went from weighing about a hundred and fifty five pounds to 120 and I couldn't II I slept all the time and I couldn't walk up and down the stairs I couldn't function like a normal high schooler I would try to like give to come out of house with me and she just couldn't and I just miss my older sister and it was really hard on me because I didn't know what to do I would cry myself to sleep at night because I didn't know what was going on so we packed up the car and headed
down to Cincinnati Children's Hospital and had her liver biopsy there and a few days later they had the pathology back and they could make the call that is he had Wilson's disease you know I just really equated it to when your child has strep throat and you're gonna start on that medication and in a few days you know you'll be fine I had no idea the battle that we had in front of us Wilson's disease is a genetic disease where your body collects too much copper and copper will
collect in mainly two places either in your liver or in your brain and in my case I mainly collected in my liver and when it collects in your liver you go into liver failure I'm kind of alone because there's only eight thousand cases in the country I'm on a pretty strict copper free diet and I always have to take my medication I have to sleep a ton if I don't get at least eight hours of sleep I get sick I get migraines and I can't function the next day like it's no choice
for me that I have to sleep
basketball
has given me a lot and I think the biggest thing that has given me is a way to cope because every day I can walk onto the floor and it's the hoop I focus on putting the ball in the hoop I don't have to think about the fact that my counts aren't going the way that I want them to or that I'm not feeling good I don't have to think about any of that because every time I step onto the court I play like it could be my last that was somethingthat really changed the way that I played the sport because not only do I play the sport with a passion because it's something that's fun to do but also I play it because I never know in my last time minutes an attack
basketball
we have a motto attack life get up every day attack the day dominate the day on the day and that came from is these work ethic her determination to want to play the games you know she'd say hey coach I'm gonna be at the game today but I'm not ahundred percent just show up is he give me what you have and you're gonna find when you watch her game so do everything she has to do it is to be on the floor and so pretty much the world that I've conquered something bigger than this game without
basketball
I think she would still just be on the couch like getting up and doingbasketball
for her it helped her and everyone around her so much just getting up and like watching her back out on the court playing again the first time I got tosee her back out on the court freshman year I was just like I came back my freshman season and it took a lot of blood sweat and tears because I had to go from somebody who needed help to walk up and down the stairs just somebody who would get up and down the floor and be able to play
basketball
games Tucker took me to a couple stuff over summers with at different colleges and they were like yeah you'd be great you have an opportunity
it was just one of those things or I was like wow thankgoodness I decided that this wasn't going to be something that ruins my life I met a girl that weighed about 110 pounds very weak just a shell of herself the girl put a lot of time and just was so disturbed so anytime that this was but this girl decided colleges and we've watched that
basketball
team play and we you know what we laughter ourselves but like these people think they're here watching abasketball
game for what they don't realize that they're watching has beenwatching a miracle she's continuing to fight it's not like we've just crossed some finish line and and now we're healthy and we're playing
basketball
in like this perfect sheet I mean we know that the battles will still continue and I live my life where I don't let Wilson disease to find me I defined Wilson's disease and that's something that is why I really want it to be publicized and why I want people to know about it because Wilson's disease isn't adisease where you have to have your life ruined it's something where it helps me in your life he will continue her

said we got to be able to turn them over which they've been able to do 28 28 we're all knotted up a lot to be decided it's a very aggressive game and I think it's going to be a great second halfone of the big numbers is when you're looking at Nigel Coleman one of the best shooters anywhere in high school

he got great looks beat set shoulders square three out of four threes and 11 points in the first half he was phenomenal shooting the ball and I was really impressed withunity

we're bringing the heat in the second half that's bad news that that happens because yearningChristian

you know we've got ten turnovers at halftime ten and a lot of them are ones that we can't make one thing we have to learn we can't let's try to lob it over the top and ifweak and if it does go you've got a supper written to that ball because they will be you because they are gonna sprint towards it so every time we do that hopefully one of our better halves

has come out tougher and more focused here in the second half and Ilike the Montes stone letting his team play through it a little a lot of situations here you'd see coach call timeout sometimes playing your way out of adversity can be hunted take a look at Donovan Freeman or excuse me no one was worried when the three from out front that was College range Colvin has been locked up in the second half good defense by Ryan Aikens in the corners now the defense being applied out front a
