basketball

watching replays and I can promise you that Braylon Tony took that delivery from Xavier Simpson from the University of Michigan it's a great tool for small players to be able to get their shot off over the defense Tony looking for his stream hits one shops rocking it back and forth lead back in favor giving news coke suits buffer comm

said that in the past they've been a slow methodical team but he finally has the kind of athletes

to play up-tempo the very aggressive attack style offense tell you what DJ banku brings a tough couple a good job he did a good job standing who's playing the defenseman credit unit attrition I want to score in the paint with the nature and there's some teeth heads going on here Johnny very confrontational picking up at 40 feet I thought that would be dangerous against the quickness of rude and so far they're containing pretty done well Tripp the try you bet you Nigel Coleman the

Christian

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 22

game 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

river

News fans they appreciate this defensive effort Falco it'll go against legend Jeter hey wanna hear with

the 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 he

didn'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 for

River

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 on

fire 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 effective

player 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 second

it'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 great

balsam 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

River

lose back great to see the

unity

Christian

decides to do pressure being applied out of a jump ball situation and we do revolutions gameplan you know you're

walking 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

Rouge

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 shot

has been perfect swinging the bass line trying to get through spy on four seconds to cry steel for

unity

great effort to get this steal from Chandler Collins but there was pushing wasn't able to

to the things and lessons that I learned a plan for Coach green isn't still to me my mom was a cheerleader on the state

that played on state

championship

teams so my whole upbringing in my whole

world is his

roots so I understand the tradition this group of guys because the tradition they weren't born when we were winning state

back and kind of get them up to par on who they actually are representing he's a fine coach and think about this your high school kid and every day you get taught by a coach that spent time on the staff at Ohio State Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green I'm gonna tell you what Lamont a stone is a very high level coach great teacher and also he's about character he's led them to two of the 14 state titles Lofton green his mentor his country responsibly state

championship

championship

pedigree victories anything in the pace for unification to this content little bit too quick but that's a nice answer right now

River

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 they

might 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

unity

Christian

is

taking 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 bit

of size and athleticism but make up for with tenacity and grit you got a good one developing both teams playing gritty

basketball

and don't go forget the comm

unity

Christian

's capable of pressuring the ball in their semifinal win against Ludington de Forest flooding Jimmy start the offense and authority between instead of 20 feet which is what

River

s wants to do Roger Coleman gives it up to the town of M Tremont inside could move good luck legend cheater how good his legend cheater

gonna be really good so the next big star fool is a wheel again attacking the pain that comm

unity

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

River

Rouge

would dominate the transition game I was completely wrong

unity

Christian

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 tomorrow

unity

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 same

no 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

unity

Christian

being Portland thirty two to seven to capture the

division

2 football title a lot of those guys trying to do the same here on the

basketball

thing and talking to

River

Rouge

coached Lamont a stone so what are your thoughts from watching

unity

Christian

what's that like the way they play but more importantly I know these guys are a bunch of winners that's what worries me about them seven of their 14

players were on the state

championship

soccer or football team winner's mentality got to have it both these teams have 3:45 to play second quarter and eternal it comes training for revolution in traffic don't go and here comes

unity

slow things down this is a time for patience on the offensive and

River

Rouge

may get a bit impatient they love to play in transition

unity

Christian

and white

river

wounds in Marone another steal that one from friend Chandler Collins tried to wrestle it back

it's brilliant Tony for the Panthers or marketers

river

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 the

bench 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

championship

football team we just showed you not bad played soccer as well he's got some serious

hardware turn over the Maldini we have got a tie score and a

river

world is living off of beauty

Christian

turnovers that's exactly what coach stone said those guys needed to do if your

unity

Christian

what do we always hear coach Casey does both the Pistons need an on time on target passing can't be lazy with your passes here you got to be devoted to what you're doing intentionally I like the one where he said that a

River

Rouge

is like playing against the wet hand being out there

that's still not really sure what he meant by there they with

unity

person so far turnovers for

unity

Christian

capital their offense is coming off miscues under two to play inbound pass to Zach bellhops white house looking for room doesn't have much trip to try this one this one the house underneath for the offensive get back held ball situation coming up at the halftime easy Hoffman from Madeline high school she needed that will push to get to the couch after being diagnosed with

Lucy's disease she found it in

basketball

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 meanwhile

River

Rouge

with a bucket legend Jeter he raised with the two-point advantage down but don't be surprised that the Crusaders comm

unity

Christian

are hanging they beat Benton Harbor which tells me a while no house get it out of here

River

leaves with the block his legend

cheetah yeah and he could become a legend he is such a law athlete with great anticipation skills you look like you got to play volleyball because that was a spike almost another 200 bodies flying all over

unity

Christian

has numbers if they wanted Russell travel Barrett slogans of given for traveling now and I get what happens here when you play against

River

Rouge

you go faster than you're used to you know here your body is going slow but your mind is going so fast and that's why you

make the unforced turnovers and please I'm gonna tell you something about

River

Rouge

it's gonna tell you everything you need to know maybe

Division

one state champ dip so Annie Lincoln get this score 78 47 this is great Micah Paris four-point lead through

River

Rouge

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 describe

unity

Christian

on the glass too manly my house you

see 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

unity

he's

got 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 rules

basketball

we're reaching too much we're gambling too much instead of just playing solid man-to-man defense

and 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 on

Fox 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 each

and 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 something

that 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 a

hundred 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 doing

basketball

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 to

see 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 opport

unity

it was just one of those things or I was like wow thank

goodness 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 a

basketball

game for what they don't realize that they're watching has been

watching 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 a

disease where you have to have your life ruined it's something where it helps me in your life he will continue her

basketball

said coming into this game Jim that we're gonna have to be able to rebound the

basketball

though they were undersized we'll take a look at how well they've done

River

Rouge

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 half

one of the big numbers is when you're looking at Nigel Coleman one of the best shooters anywhere in high school

basketball

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 with

unity

Christian

he's able to get into the lane and he +6 advantage scoring in the paint and I also like their variety they got contributions from its first six players in their rotation sometimes

they get a little bit tricky now here's a big key when you look at the stats we heard Lamont a stone he said we did not play

River

Rouge

basketball

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

Christian

turned it over ten times in the first half that's a big number the halftime stats brought to you by Baker College one that stands out to me is the 17 rebounds

unity

Christian

that was a level of concern for them they've been

able to out rebound to this point both teams obviously back there making their adjustments you'll see how it all plays out we got a good one Bruin it's our final state final of the day it's

Division

two we'll bring the third corner right after this hopefully one of our better halves

basketball

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 if

weak 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

basketball

you know we've got ten turnovers at halftime tennis 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 if we can if it does go you've got a sucker written to that ball because they will beat you because

they are going to sprint towards it so every time we do that and we can't do this stuff like this and try to get the ball because you know what that kid does sticks his hand in there and it's all over 5,000 fans showed up that Hudsonville

s quarterfinal game in Calvin College against Grand Rapids South

Christian

they've got a heck of a fan base here today and a state final against

River

Rouge

and Scott suits ma knows a lot about winning he was in the semis as the head

coach at Northern

Christian

in 86 won a

championship

in 87 took the girls from his current school in 2005 and then run it the next year in 2006 second half is underway rather than totally deflated on the name Dan filled with the bucket you know then at halftime coach stone let his team up about their defense he watched

River

Rouge

basketball

let's see if there's a noticeable difference looks like a one three one did not see that at the first half he had told us they are willing to go to

his own we got a foul call on the triple try it's gonna be one stood against Nigel Colt in the second person that's not a foul it's a crossbody my watch imposing hours it's the easiest call the referees will have all day remember you don't need to block the shot all you need is a hand up for that rain you run by him not through him first free-throw is good Noah whispering he's got seven nine senior point guard you love a guy with his experience plays multiple sports so

he's got mental toughness splits the first to chance to tie it here with the third the southpaw swish 30 37 12 to play third quarter the Donovan Freeman is a met even this match for a lot of opposition Nigel Coleman Coleman had 11 points could only six shot attempts turned out the

River

Rouge

it comes

unity

Christian

knowing this way he'll go to the line for a path I'll call on Freeman I do believe hey if you don't want to play against

River

Rouge

in a ham court D go ahead try

to hit in transition who was it the one setback was the non-contact sport I'm not buying it this word there's the first in for

River

Rouge

who comes kamal head donovan freeman heads to the bench to have a quick word with Lamont a stone coach stone said yesterday that we don't necessarily need to turn them over early but it is the continuous non-stop pressure we feel like we will wear them down it's a residual effect and in the fourth quarter he feels like

unity

Christian

will be

worn out and that's what

River

Rouge

could take over that's a great girl not looking for homeruns early looking for singles and doubles and in the end it'll make all the difference and her G's the southpaw reference you're getting excited for baseball aren't you it's coming down couple weeks away three weeks Vancouver and picks up his third foul so only a minute and a half into the third quarter again TJ's a big part of what

unity

Christian

does so three fouls on

him I would get the ball to Dan few have him drive hard man goo brains not gonna wanna cover few instead set the screen the Brandon Tony can get it who's Vancouver kicks it into the corner did you see that vision Ryan Takens is that card says he's a kid he hammers the bucks he's going to Calvin College we believe he's going to major in engineering 7 I love take another look at it good vision from Vancouver Vancouver and there could not embed a better path fastball for a strike

but the

Rouge

turns it over much like that I could do a baseball-reference - I heard you 7-footer in the batter's box missing it off big strike zone good pressure being applied as Vancouver an out front now let's sag off him a little bit and clearing up they son stops pops short offensive rebounds Chandler Collins - turn around - McDermott we expected ripple ruse to breathe the heat on defense instead

unity

Christian

has come out tougher and more focused here in the second half and I

like 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

unity

Christian

Donovan Freeman and then find his way the land shot

won't go back the other way because this learn in traffic gives it up triple child another three and now

River

Rouge

will call a timeout it's an 11-point advantage part of a 13 old road about Brian Jenkins again a little bit out of control for this weary but taken yeah I like the three but I love the pass this has been a complete coke suits ma just made a bold statement let's go out and prove were the best team in the state of Michigan is that possible because of

Division

one if

Shalini Lincoln may one today they beat you deep but when you put in perspective

River

Rouge

plated Salani Lincoln and beat them by get this a score of 78 247 I'll tell you what that's positive reinforcement that's what you bring to your kids she believed me the best team you go out and execute I'll tell you right now whoever news isn't conceding anything still a ton of time left he won't played four minutes into the third quarter game of runs here that hots of 13 on the

run now another tournament rules here they come now the deficit down to seven here comes that full-court pressure almost another a some good hands Johnny got that ball I would assure you the bobble it to be a little crowded at the scores table is he that past inbounds to TJ Vancouver this is a big trip long possession you can hear the patches fans behind us about Collins Chandler Collins folks settings a gym rat nobody spent more time in the gym during his freshman sophomore and junior seasons

worked his way into this rotation paying dividends now three no sense tomorrow hey haha I love the box out and the rebound by mangu beruete nut box

River

Burgess head coach Lamont a stone talked to me before the game about when

River

bruise wins

championship

s they win them

consecutively they won them 61 to 65 and then again is 69 to 72 and then when Lamont a took over the program they won the

championship

in 98 he told his kids were not getting the ring until we win it again next year in 99 well they ended up winning it and they got the ring for both years of those

championship

s but he told me today before the game that if they win to the

championship

game today they're gonna go to their holiday and express that they're staying at and tell them to book

them rooms for next year because next year they're gonna come back for it again you know he should probably just keep his room key right both coaches well remember Lamont a stone in college was a psychology major so he is preaching vision and confidence and optimism for the future how'd you get that ring that one back that's the jerk I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express I'm no psychology major but I did okay 43:34 ring the

Rouge

one too many passes you know the

Christian

takes

and they turn it right back over put it too hot when they watch the game film together there's gonna be one when they need man that would have been heaven Oh possession 14:28 to go and a nine-point lead to built the clock and maybe get it about double digits comes

river

is in marine plays and Tony picks up his dribble looking for help he gets it Micah parish tried to give it up but it's

unity

Christian

with another take away have to set something up no no listen lock the window double

digits and every time they score

unity

Christian

gets more excited on the defensive and they're whipping rebounds and they're running like they're the faster team TAC out front I won't go offense board gets he's got it now we're swearing to his loved another floater in the lane he can't be stopped right now 13-point lead this is as simple as I can put it if ripple rules cannot turn over

unity

Christian

they're not gonna win this game 11 of the 17 have come in the

third and here it is creating off the dribble with the floater it's the kind rim another look at it yeah that's a tough shot very tough shot and I will say this there's a lot of contributions and sometimes we focus so hard on the scoring but the guy that is really impressing me as a strong impact player in every category TJ Vancouver down the sword now the price is finger time my coach suits me here in the third quarter outscored him 19 2 6 6 of 8 from the floor that's

efficiency knowing this where he licks on he'll get a blow into the game comes Brett Foster my birth beauty

Christian

has never in their history won a state

championship

with the boys coach seats nor was the girl's coach though when they wanted to leave his 2006 still plenty of time to go coaching one minute to play third quarter Donovan Freeman looking for a little space it's a strange Swayze tough shot in the lane from Kemal hey we got an offensive foul we have bought Tigers

names the printing press they sling it out and get sued Brian Jenkins this one won't go back the other way rivalry's Freeman puts the ball on the floor we got a

blocking thaw against you see believe they got it on Luke's nuit couple of free-throws coming one of the biggest keys for

River

Rouge

in this game Lamont a stone told me that we have to generate open shots for colvin I took Holmen one of the best shooters in this made in the second half he's only got two points Johnny we got to get him going to Donovan Freeman doing his part this Panthers from

River

loose system comes from newest or was the head coach also coach stone was at Khloe's

greensward and doctors murtabak the both the death Pinklon all four of Freeman's points have come at the free-throw line as you sink 17 seconds you got to believe they're going to hold for the last shot up 11 whistle Eric being guarded by Micah parish beats them off the dribble loses control and they're going to turn the

basketball

over that'll get their

Rouge

an opport

unity

here Tim you can cover a little bit of courtroom they have plenty of speed to get it up but she is throw

in his pants and hands that way you've got a much better chance for Donovan Freeman to have some momentum you see brings in some defensive substitutions here Evan Nieuwenhuis get the ball in back to Micah perish perish off the glass so how about giver our

unity

Christian

with a 19-8 advantage in the third quarter an 11-point lead eight minutes left to decide it go watch decision to finals Detroit okay now they lined up like this you gotta be ready to attack advantage for Hudsonville

unity

Christian

in the third they were powered by the elite playmaking of Noah Wiz weary their easy senior quarterback on the football team that won a state

championship

colleges are starting below the height is rising and when you look at it he does not look like what be smart gets he understands angles boy he's a really strong finisher soccer player as well but that AAU background certainly helps let this be a lesson everybody play a variety of sports always you're so expiring here we

go eight minutes left to decided folks buckle up like a Paris

River

lose nutrition's difficult on prepare long - they're going to save the line still a good look now you got us to sink a bit full-court pressure one and jump how strong is your D

Christian

with the ball got a crawl before you walk can't get it all back at once he's keep chipping away horse turnover right there delivery's balls are these this way I believe they're gonna reward a timeout - head coach Lamont a

stone okay save the possession gives the

unity

Christian

Crusaders sit on this lead and feel like they've got enough points that would be a horrific mistake against this pressure it's intense and it's gonna get more than they've ever seen in their lives over there he sounds a lot like the legendary Lofton Green lamonta stone two state

s at

coach green hat 12 Lamont a green sentient when he was in sixth grade he was brought into the

River

system he

played that system for eight years to play as a senior and he knows that if you want to win

s it gets done on the defensive back now is the time to turn defensive mistakes about

unity

Christian

and you aggressive top of the rim the

River

Rouge

hotshot underneath them that's the mother tongue over and it is brilliant back out to head nothing easy head shot I know you headed to second Vancouver and comes away with it every time to be said that today every tough ball Vancouver gets

there's that pressure again to talk about most titles all time we talk about the all-time wins about lapped and green a longtime coach at

River

Rouge

second all-time behind Lloyd Johnson it's a lot of Mountain volunteer here's the number that we have to monitor tournaments coming into the fourth quarter

unity

Christian

hadith ones that's a big number so far three in the fourth quarter but that number continues to rise this score will get closer closer 6:30 to play like the

Paris looking I was in floor on that child he's going to try to beat Bell House off the dribble does so at the left hand Houston that athleticism it's 47 2 4 1 2 five okay he's one of the counts that looks like women huge has six guys on this board on defense right now we're smuggler now right then Coburn underneath and the five you think he's fine the senior chance to make it double digits yet again CJ Vancouver II grew up on a farm does that surprise you he's got old

man farm strength already love his game it's a continent the big compliment 50 to 40

unity

Christian

the Subarus have an answer it is 7/3 my comparator shop the driven parishes six of his eleven here in the fourth quarter Chandler kinds stoppin poppin coke says he's one enough skilled athletes on our team approaches five minutes to play screaming Oh here's an old-school philosophy Wow in a steel to shop so Kamal Hayden with an opport

intend to find that defensive crash the

pace of this forum quarter has now officially hit warp speed it's been fun to watch which we won't go it's a good time to let you know time's running out the Iran the d5k presented by Fox Sports Detroit DTE Energy's near incapacity go to foxsportsdetroit.com you don't want to miss out on it again a Sunday April 28th we start at the big tiger finish Comerica Park register now before the race sounds on as the Blitz the pair the benefit of the made free throw and allows them

Rouge

an opport

unity

there Tim - bang bang good gone with the reach very good again uses steer by few pushes it up the floor that's what it was no this where he got himself in there he was a quarterback he's been sacked before today's parish about the parish picks up his third foul okay under five to play is

the pressure again as your way through it on time on target this time they get through here comes the track Chandru college against few looking to kick it back out there's Pittsburgh over waiting to happen at every single pass and say what I like though

unity

Chris who's not forcing it they've got the seven-point lead they can wait for what they want and now they've got beggary short that was a foul look like a foul on the three-point shot he's tucked in the corner you tell

babe Colvin goes up looks like you swiped it tough to see from that angle where is Nigel Colvin two points in the second half none in the fourth quarter and credit do you see defenses Freeman puts it up up glass view with the rebound and the farm okay that was a macho reppuken five guys went up and watch his hands he was surrounded by white jerseys we've got Dan few listed at 6 6 they don't list his weight but he's throwing it around down there this would be a big three-point

opport

unity

for the Panthers of

River

Rouge

when I call phew a bruiser would you agree with that I'll agree with it another compliment from Turner we're short on the free choice I'm little bit its I would agree with that you'll hear that one from the crowd but that's okay it's a five-point game as four minutes to play

River

Rouge

cooking with peanut oil on a 72 run right now remember

unity

Christian

as a Laster filled with state champions soccer but more importantly

football they're gonna have to play really strong have a football mentality with the ball there's Chandler cons we're gonna have a timeout that was timely cuz that ball was almost stolen right there by Michael Parish Scott's it's much get the blue towel in hand I'm gonna try to quiet the troops here 52:47 we got a good one coming down the stretch to make sure we once you slip it and hope is everything Drive listening to the

river

new shuttle we remember last time out

Lamont a stone said we have to beat them to 60 points 19 turnovers so far for

unity

Christian

5 in the fourth quarter that number cannot continue to climb and rip the Rings out scorn him 11 to 5 in the final three with Chandler College trying to get rid of it eventually does no reset out town even though he's a big man I love the strength of TJ Vancouver I would try to get the ball in his hands as much as possible but he's got to make power cuts to try to get their own you're

breaking full-court pressure through the duration in the second half that can wear you down and again that's what we talked about that's what they're counting on that

River

Rouge

let that pressure wear on you make mental mistakes make physical mistakes here the pressure again three minutes to play Vancouver I'll come on Legend Jeter remember that name legend Jeter he did later the next company is just stop quarreling it sighs no understands his role Vancouver ain't the heart

and soul of this team turnover number six 22 the game from the corner took the trials no good - Jason Norton you know the

Christian

s going to head back to the Free Press time take a look at what happened here I want you to look in the right corner that's where Colvin is they made the wrong decision the best shooter in the building is number 21 at the lower part of your screen he's money yet three throws on the game first free throw good TJ top score top rebounds top steals what else

you want results up number two and assist state star 11 points with going to bring seven point game now look at

unity

Christian

bringing that pressure on the way out to midcourt hey rockin foul come on you can't snow it whispering he's good to fire it up I get it playing with passion bodies are flying you're sacrificing your body a little bit you know when you get into a fight you even come back at him are you back down these guys first hit me toe-to-toe building my new body blows

this is really impressive aggressive confrontational

basketball

this has been fun to watch again still a lot of time and see coach Lamont a stone talking it over with the guys a seven point game is like three possessions here we got to start getting stops no more trading baskets q 34 to play he could chance to make it a two-possession game if he's able to get one of these free throws jaian giving lose has generated the money of turnovers they're just not turning them into points at the

other end unification able to break at this time that path swings it to Vancouver in the two hands that was it the that was a big bucket to him great job on the press break keeping your eyes up the floor and able to find a cutting DJ van Kooten now you can learn a lot by watching what players do when their stress and anxiety level short this team looks at Vancouver unstressed right now it's a nine-point game do ten remain and be good you're doing good just relax there we go this golden

cat iron offensive rebound come on other to deploy thank you and kicks it out we got a traveling violation if you would have told me this medium that

unity

Christian

would have over 20 turnovers in this game I would have said Aloha completely wrong 21 turnovers impressive impressive yet here they are the seven-point lead 92 seconds remaining I don't underneath it's gonna go to

unity

Christian

here Vancouver and hit the floor extremely hard you can hear it from over here but watch

from the weak side coming over monster splitting I know he's in a lot of pain but right now he's thinking I've got a minute 29 left in this season and we have a chance to win our first boys state

championship

in the history of the school this elbow is bleeding he's in a lot of pain but I betcha he doesn't come out let's send it over to Lauren Jabari Lauren two minutes left to play they're turning it up guys back to you pretty straightforward they've got work

to do with a minute twenty-nine remaining but the way this team can score in bunches and score in spurts it's anybody's game right now to run obviously

unity

Christian

right now in the d

river

's seat they've got to feel good about where they are but you got to salt this thing away the biggest baddest guy in the building right now is Vancouver they taped up his elbow it's swollen it's bleeding he's limping he's got blood on his uniform and he is coming out the line

back around the football team it's made me can't believe you he's a linebacker in shorts right now still named manse Travis for backup Colvin that one won't go but I believe he's going to shoot 222

unity

Christian

turnovers the problem is that

River

Rouge

has only turned those into 15-point not very efficient we've been talking a lot about Nigel Colvin the tremendous season he's had his senior out of this game comm

unity

crochet play him on a minute as a member of the

unity

Christian

basketball

team in a hug Kukoc Scott suits me but at the line Nigel Coleman who's largely been held in check tonight we have it working early in this game he's got 14 points he was held scoreless in the second only had two points in the third maybe here in the fourth quarter still some time remaining you see one go through your member alone midway through the second quarter we talked about the fact they won't to run something to get cold and shots they never did they

never get me third quarter either five-point game minute 15 remaining

Christian

dealing with the press again they get past midcourt approaching one minute to play it may be time to start following five-point game I like going for the steal we've got a timeout before the phone

unity

Christian

saw they were in trouble I believe that one came from the head coach Scott so to me and suit spot has been brilliant in the fourth quarter using his timeouts to save turnovers I know you're not

coaching the skins him but if you were coached but I won't even ask what you'd say well this little approach here we go the piston and then this this

unity

Christian

team has such good chemistry why well as a team they did a lot of comm

unity

service at Christmastime they went and they gave gifts to under-privileged they did serve projects she feels non-stop what a great investment in the comm

unity

but also what a great reward that they're about to get

Christian

gets it in 55 seconds

remaining Bauhaus I believe they're going to say knocked away by

River

Rouge

no file did not need a shop in this case here's the house once you got the defendant up in the air I don't mind going for it but you don't get the whistle you maintain possession and guess what another time out to talk it over plenty of time to think about sure you you've got to be strong with the ball but with under a minute to go we're lying on three runs and getting steals is going to be

tough they may have to test the free-throw shooting of

unity

Christian

they may have one more opport

unity

to generate a steal both teams now with one timeout remaining again you talk about the numbers in

River

Rouge

has been able to turn the

basketball

or turn

unity

Christian

over 22 times let's see what they decide to do then looking to score all this stuff is coming Hudson you didn't

Christian

it's strong with the ball and maybe we shouldn't be surprised because they played

against a very athletic Benton Harbor team in the regional finals up by 19 they want that game great finish but Crusaders are tough and strong nerdy

Christian

only one timeout remaining they should be wise as you dishes vancouver's becomes the chat knocked out last touch what did coach stone just say their time on we gotta turn them over we gotta go side up 5:46 six remaining they got a shot right dog not the hand of no Whistler I know that he has not been a focal point of the offense but

now is the time that she tried to get Colvin a shot he's the best shooter of any three Michael Paris wicked lookout stagnant tolven as in the corner yes looking older yeah they're not looking too much of a hurry there but they get what they want again there's still a lot of clock and workforce in the issue that's the fourth foul Vancouver as long as he's not a presence on the court

unity

Christian

is going to be pass today we created important free throws smooth stroke no

pressure for him all of his points have come up the free throw strength using the free throws as the timeout labonte stone talked to his floor defenders to dial up the defense perfect three-point game and here's the pressure again here's the trap again and we've got a foul call that one's going to go against Kemal Hagen I do believe he says I think I tied him up the strikes say we got him on the arm first while they had the perfect trap exactly what you want you don't want to

lose your defensive integrity and I don't think he did to me that look like a jump ball there's the senior Ryan Takens coming to the line we just saw the senior four written

Rouge

Donovan Freeman berry a critical pair to make it a three-point game takings for the chance to make this a two possession game which is 26 seconds left not bad at all hey these kids have guts taking those nine points can you imagine what would you be Johnny listen we need to put her off the corner of the

backboard I I have a solo press no because a lot of times that non-feature guys this is Big Bear easy boat substitution go Zack now the house in comes Evan Nieuwenhuis and now it's taken job to climb in Colvin's Jersey but don't leave him five point lead 20 seconds remaining

River

Rouge

at the Ruth Buzzi mic the Parrish fouled on the trip will try and DJ Vancouver II has fallen out of this game what an unusual turn of events we have seen that all day why do you try to block

three-point shots all you have to do is be up now did he actually make tough to tell from that angle Vancouver he noticeably upset this is his senior campaign played a heck of an effort today 13 points on closer inspection and looked like Micah parish played a trick by falling on the release it all means necessary chance to cut into it Micah first is three got it nothing to it for these young men too four-point game I get a big smile on my face when I see somebody go up there and prove

they've been working their entire life practicing free throws for a moment just like this and then they deliver Micah Parrish has scored 10 of his 15 in the final quarter a chance to make it a two-point game goes on why you got to look to fall if you can't get to steal right away looked like it could have been a double dribble it Nibiru's

basketball

12 seconds to play down three what happened in their last game for

river

wound similar situation and it was professional the nigel cold

had knocked down a three to send the game into overtime

River

Rouge

obviously one and I'll tell you what right now with all the momentum if they get this thing to overtime you would really favor

River

Rouge

are you kidding me that's a swimming of momentum right here you never give in you're able to get another turnover forest on the double dribble let's listen in when we get this bass here that way - we're gonna go either way No three let's go back to the semi-finals

Nigel Coleman with the deep three in the corner to send it to overtime it worked but you know

unity

Christian

is not going to leave him also if you can get the quick layup not a bad call with this pressure defense - good looks anything exactly what you wanted Nigel Coleman had more time he didn't square up and where did the reaction since cop suits much and the Hudson go unit addition bench hook thank you got a clean look at it Freeman with the rebound the one just long rebound inside one

free throw

unity

Christian

you get the first state

championship

and your men's

basketball

history what a finish no one less worried at the line you hear the chant from the neesee student section I believe that we will win you see chance what the 32 what a gritty annika

unity

Christian

had to fight through it all night Tim to heart rate you should be extremely proud both squads play

championship

caliber

basketball

I think if you're a head coach of either team you set out what you

wanted to do your

unity

Christian

you need to be able to rebound the

basketball

they did

River

Rouge

want to turn them over they did and a game like this comes down to a Laker in minutes

River

had a couple of opportunities there at the end of regulation but it wouldn't go and credit

unity

division

us a little bit but we battled right to the end you guys came out with intensity you came out fierce you were throwing bodies around how are you able to pull this one off that's kind of been our game I said boys we're going toe to toe love them that's what we want to do we play Benton Harbor a few weeks ago about a week ago we did the same thing with them to toe to toe and our kids are resilient they just are they're really work hard I'm very proud of them you told me earlier

today that blue towel it's been through 22 games now three you guys came out on top at the time for that blue towel to get a wash now yeah it's rest time baby that's what it's all about it's rest time for the towel though congratulations coach go enjoy it you bet I will thank you guys back to you how about that 37 years ago June 27 is a head coaching there at Hudsonville
