WEBVTT 1 00:03:37.055 --> 00:03:41.045 Welcome ladies and gentlemen this is Scott and Cannon are good friends for me going 2 00:03:41.055 --> 00:03:41.505 T.V. 3 00:03:41.515 --> 00:03:45.975 We are at the Eric baccy Memorial Field in Virgo Heights Minnesota for this Friday 4 00:03:45.985 --> 00:03:52.315 night Telt the same way Spartans are hosting our beloved big blue Eagan Wildcats 5 00:03:52.325 --> 00:03:56.395 got another match up on the secular 30 this week it's becoming kind of 6 00:03:56.405 --> 00:04:01.515 a blur what are we looking for you know again we think we have a this is 7 00:04:01.525 --> 00:04:06.295 a game we should probably went pretty handily similar to last night probably be 8 00:04:06.305 --> 00:04:07.895 a little bit closer feel like this team's 9 00:04:07.905 --> 00:04:13.405 a little more skilled. A lot of the same themes as we talked about 24 hours ago 10 00:04:13.685 --> 00:04:18.845 good smart play smart positional play good crisp passing good execution stay sharp 11 00:04:18.855 --> 00:04:25.349 during this time if the game does get. 51015 goals and distance treat it like 12 00:04:25.359 --> 00:04:26.029 a practice but it's 13 00:04:26.039 --> 00:04:29.929 a live game right use that you get something out of it in Thursday night 14 00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:31.609 a coach felt or was able to get 15 00:04:31.649 --> 00:04:35.589 a lot of the roster off some extended playing time in the game so again getting 16 00:04:35.599 --> 00:04:36.879 those guys that are seeing 17 00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:40.269 a little less minutes more minutes against live action against an opponent so 18 00:04:40.369 --> 00:04:44.569 there's things that you can get out of this 1st things 1st establish 19 00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:46.109 a presence of dominance get a build 20 00:04:46.119 --> 00:04:50.169 a lead and then get out of the other stuff that I just mentioned what do the 21 00:04:50.179 --> 00:04:54.769 Spartans bring you know we've talked extensively in tonight will probably not be in 22 00:04:54.779 --> 00:05:01.079 the exception we are working on our Face-Off game position the position holes goal 23 00:05:01.089 --> 00:05:05.239 the faceoff to stand out with a spark and you know understand they have 24 00:05:05.249 --> 00:05:07.939 a speedy strong faceoff specialist will certainly get 25 00:05:07.949 --> 00:05:12.969 a look at that tonight understand against. A cadet's from St Thomas earlier in the 26 00:05:12.979 --> 00:05:17.669 week on Wednesday he won the majority of the faceoffs would tell you he's pretty 27 00:05:17.679 --> 00:05:21.169 decent so we'll see what he's got and you know we'll see how our guys respond right 28 00:05:21.739 --> 00:05:23.829 we've talked a lot about if you can't win 29 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:29.599 a clean get in there block get position slow down let my zinger let Gallus let 30 00:05:29.609 --> 00:05:36.520 Stone get in there and get the ball. Vantage blue on that face 31 00:05:36.530 --> 00:05:37.440 soft but a little bit of 32 00:05:37.450 --> 00:05:41.400 a hold busy in possession Spartans as they get their touch and they move in ball on 33 00:05:41.410 --> 00:05:42.050 the ground this is 34 00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:46.530 a turf field and it's got to the ground balls should really be crisp and effective 35 00:05:46.570 --> 00:05:50.370 Yeah and we shouldn't see as much slipping and sliding and falling as we've have 36 00:05:51.090 --> 00:05:55.560 the last 2 games this week um you know bowl of Apple Valley Stadium and Wildcat 37 00:05:55.570 --> 00:05:59.360 stadium probably not in the best playing condition yet and then we had that rain 38 00:05:59.370 --> 00:06:01.490 earlier in the day on Tuesday which muck things up 39 00:06:01.630 --> 00:06:07.320 a little bit too but it's dry it's warm dry it's not warm it's decent dry turf we 40 00:06:07.330 --> 00:06:10.310 should not have the slippage tonight or the poor field conditions that we 41 00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:15.150 experienced and the ball down over on the sideline Spartans to recover 42 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.200 a little harassment by thrall Coty rater got involved in that one miscue by the 43 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:22.310 Spartan and it's going to be 44 00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:28.970 a turnover unforced affectively in Eagan ball you know again this is the 1st 45 45 00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:33.580 seconds of the game but I saw some dropped balls America passes 46 00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:39.730 a basic fundamental mess apps on similes part and I wonder if that's you know in 47 00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:43.000 the St Thomas game you know if they can win the majority the face offs and still 48 00:06:43.010 --> 00:06:46.860 lose by $1011.00 goals I can understand how that would happen or you can win 49 00:06:46.870 --> 00:06:50.800 a face off like somebody did and then effectively an unforced turnover and right 50 00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:54.560 now the ball's in Egan's hands and you know we've gotten some intel that they're 51 00:06:54.570 --> 00:07:00.030 goaltenders effective and the question is is looking at their schedule it's 52 00:07:00.170 --> 00:07:05.510 unlikely that they've faced the multiplicity of firepower that the Eagan Wildcats 53 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:08.320 bring to those shots takes a quick peek at quick shot and 54 00:07:08.330 --> 00:07:13.990 a goal quick one nothing lead Yeah you know St Thomas has some formidable players 55 00:07:14.140 --> 00:07:17.510 Luke Williams would be one of the top attackman in the in the metro area in the 56 00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:19.650 state this year but Eakins got 57 00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:23.580 a wave of people who are you know we've talked throughout the 1st half of the 58 00:07:23.590 --> 00:07:28.260 season about can we get other scores were seen some other people in addition to the 59 00:07:28.270 --> 00:07:29.540 Big 3 establish themselves 60 00:07:29.550 --> 00:07:34.310 a scoring threats and. That one of the challenges for some and if you shut down. 61 00:07:35.230 --> 00:07:40.390 SCHULTZ If you shut down Wilson you've got to deal with the other 4 percent were 62 00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:42.780 deep in that area and if you get them out of the rhythm you've got 63 00:07:42.790 --> 00:07:47.900 a couple Much more coming so you know how do they match up against kind of the 64 00:07:47.940 --> 00:07:51.310 firepower that you can win so that's how we can you know that that you know what it 65 00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:51.570 wasn't 66 00:07:51.580 --> 00:07:56.950 a clean when but we have possession and we held up their face off guy in your got 67 00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:58.030 in there and you know 68 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:03.520 a lot of speed from Eisenhower picks up the ground balls really cleanly. Of 69 00:08:03.530 --> 00:08:10.040 unforced error but so 1013 remaining quarter 11 not that he can both faceoffs 70 00:08:10.340 --> 00:08:15.520 very similar ball on the ground 2 guys trying to clamp kind of circling and 71 00:08:15.530 --> 00:08:20.420 fighting for it maybe we are turning the corner with regard to kind of some of that 72 00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:26.960 fundamental faceoff decorum and we've got. Schultz picking up 73 00:08:26.970 --> 00:08:32.630 a loose ball and kind of March and looking back and finds Oh just out of reach of 74 00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:38.300 number 2 Rank Colbert Spartans will take over so what started out though was number 75 00:08:38.310 --> 00:08:44.530 8 for the Spartans he was running on field just drop the ball but there was 76 00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:45.970 a little pressure on him but certainly not 77 00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:50.640 a stick check if I could just drop the ball. On 1st turn over one of the things I 78 00:08:50.850 --> 00:08:54.190 put as the Spartans keep the game as limit turnovers absolutely don't just freely 79 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:59.100 give the ball away and that's happened twice now early in the game once in 80 00:08:59.110 --> 00:09:03.080 a zone and then once around the midfield area little pick by don't leave little 81 00:09:03.090 --> 00:09:04.340 shovel past of my Z. 82 00:09:04.350 --> 00:09:08.680 Or who has been known to get the ball cookies got guys who decides to take 83 00:09:08.690 --> 00:09:10.690 a shot and I save and it's 84 00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:17.282 a good stop. And through Sandra's clearing pass but 85 00:09:17.292 --> 00:09:20.862 connected Andrus Iverson is the goalie 86 00:09:20.872 --> 00:09:27.690 a senior for the for the Spartans. So again it's the Spartans assembly are 87 00:09:27.730 --> 00:09:32.410 setting up here can they make some passes Can they connect and run their office 88 00:09:32.420 --> 00:09:36.250 without you know some of unforced errors that we've seen early in the game so far 89 00:09:36.260 --> 00:09:40.380 32 or 3 pretty big ones Yeah I think like you said to that is really 90 00:09:40.390 --> 00:09:44.060 a key to the game for the Spartans does it mean it's one thing to kind of you know 91 00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:50.930 shut down some aspect of the Eagan Wildcat game you cannot shoot 92 00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:53.440 yourself in the foot big shot Little Y. 93 00:09:53.450 --> 00:09:58.850 That one too many steal the see your goaltenders left looks like it's going to 94 00:09:58.920 --> 00:10:03.250 retain possession by the Spartans Yeah nice nice way to get in the way that 95 00:10:03.260 --> 00:10:07.200 a steal saw it all the way in position directs the ball wide. 96 00:10:13.470 --> 00:10:16.820 In front of the net no harm done well it looks like they're just going to still 97 00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:17.080 give it 98 00:10:17.090 --> 00:10:24.611 a nice effort but they are going to Spartans will retain possession again. Being 99 00:10:24.621 --> 00:10:25.901 called back to the end line 100 00:10:26.451 --> 00:10:31.082 a little ahead of myself there one of the differences for those of you that have 101 00:10:31.092 --> 00:10:31.572 been viewing 102 00:10:31.582 --> 00:10:35.692 a lot of our games if you can drop back to the eastern edge gamer to Tuesday night 103 00:10:36.623 --> 00:10:38.883 when the simply attacks of midfielders try to make 104 00:10:38.893 --> 00:10:42.373 a move to get out in front of the net the difference in the speed it's night and 105 00:10:42.383 --> 00:10:47.273 day you can defend or simply have to just get their feet down and be there those 106 00:10:47.813 --> 00:10:51.503 those more skilled attack men midfielders were able to get around them and create 107 00:10:51.513 --> 00:10:53.683 generate some more problems just there's 108 00:10:53.693 --> 00:10:57.703 a simple difference in speed number one something I notice in right away and you 109 00:10:57.713 --> 00:11:01.543 might be noticing at home and the unforced errors from from 110 00:11:01.633 --> 00:11:02.523 a better team you're going to see 111 00:11:02.533 --> 00:11:07.463 a little bit less of that 8 minutes remaining quarter $11.00 nothing cats Spartans 112 00:11:07.473 --> 00:11:13.744 with the ball they seem patient. 113 00:11:14.784 --> 00:11:19.714 And again to along with that patience kind of emphasizes the need to not miscue 114 00:11:19.754 --> 00:11:23.694 because there's you know more passes that they're trying to make connect and 115 00:11:23.924 --> 00:11:30.090 they're going to probably why I'm taking the shot here pretty shortly what I. There 116 00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.430 again there was a little bit I add credit that 117 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.530 a little bit to the defense of Cole GIBSON But again it's something that 118 00:11:35.670 --> 00:11:41.410 a city lacrosse player should be able to hang on to and get around that so. Credit 119 00:11:41.420 --> 00:11:47.180 the effort in the Wildcat side begin it's another turnover right right at another 120 00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:50.430 key for this part of the status possession and slow the game down right they were 121 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.320 trying to do what you could kind of see they were getting anxious to like for 122 00:11:53.330 --> 00:11:55.010 something and the guy made 123 00:11:55.020 --> 00:11:59.850 a move and keep keep playing catch right if he doesn't have the ball they can't 124 00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:03.561 score yeah I bet it's clearly 125 00:12:04.021 --> 00:12:07.461 a wise move on anyone's part again when you're maybe 126 00:12:07.471 --> 00:12:13.001 a little out firepower it is to get possession and slow the game down as they call 127 00:12:13.011 --> 00:12:14.651 Gibson trying to take 128 00:12:14.661 --> 00:12:20.791 a look look at behind the net. And I'm not sure where is going with that one. The 129 00:12:20.831 --> 00:12:23.241 wild cats have been looking to work it inside they've taken 130 00:12:23.251 --> 00:12:26.471 a few shots from up top as the senior goaltenders take 131 00:12:26.481 --> 00:12:33.181 a look and gets rid of it. Like to see them work it inside as opposed to just you 132 00:12:33.191 --> 00:12:37.151 know firing shots I mean we need quality shots as well one nothing kept still right 133 00:12:37.161 --> 00:12:42.031 if we had it you don't I think early in the game last night when we were getting 134 00:12:42.041 --> 00:12:45.571 opportunities Tuesday night we were getting those inside shots those cuts those 135 00:12:45.581 --> 00:12:47.261 slices that seems to be 136 00:12:47.271 --> 00:12:52.451 a recipe that works for the Wildcats and you haven't quite seen that yet tonight 137 00:12:52.461 --> 00:12:59.262 again the game as it were 6 minutes and so so for the sake of argument the longer 138 00:12:59.272 --> 00:13:04.812 this game lingers around 123 nothing advantage similarly Yeah absolutely yeah. 139 00:13:06.283 --> 00:13:06.543 That's 140 00:13:06.553 --> 00:13:11.503 a moral victory right to keep this with one or 2 goals and then right what can 141 00:13:11.513 --> 00:13:13.633 happen when you're the Wildcats you can start pressing 142 00:13:13.643 --> 00:13:17.503 a little bit and start all over only up to nothing and you see me as 143 00:13:17.513 --> 00:13:20.585 a little bit similar to flee with 144 00:13:20.595 --> 00:13:25.715 a nice looking look like Schultz tried to go back door it came off the post Colbert 145 00:13:26.155 --> 00:13:32.951 Johnny on the spot scoop shot score 2 nothing catch 556 left in the 1st. I think we 146 00:13:32.961 --> 00:13:36.901 did see Scott to how quickly this kind of authority one nothing to nothing game 147 00:13:36.911 --> 00:13:37.591 could certainly be 148 00:13:37.601 --> 00:13:42.611 a 6 not even game of writing yeah absolutely we're still kind of that team that you 149 00:13:42.621 --> 00:13:47.911 know we know what we can do but we can ease into that comfort zone of past 150 00:13:47.921 --> 00:13:52.221 parachute past parachute and I think if the what we've seen in 151 00:13:52.231 --> 00:13:57.071 a few contests so far this year is any you know predicator we're going to maybe see 152 00:13:57.551 --> 00:13:58.001 you know 153 00:13:58.011 --> 00:14:00.971 a couple more goals fall into the back of the net you're pretty cool right and I 154 00:14:00.981 --> 00:14:06.091 think that mentally what that does to the Spartans is like yeah here we go you 155 00:14:06.101 --> 00:14:08.891 little flat and then it gets worse there are 6 nothing there looking at the 156 00:14:08.901 --> 00:14:09.931 scoreboard and all of 157 00:14:09.941 --> 00:14:13.961 a sudden the game is over right and you're absolutely right Kenny can can score 158 00:14:14.131 --> 00:14:19.401 fast and you're going it could be 6 nothing by the 3 minute mark right because 159 00:14:19.411 --> 00:14:23.591 we're not suggesting that it will be but they certainly have that ability to score 160 00:14:23.601 --> 00:14:27.521 fasten even on that recent sequence there what you know looked like potentially 161 00:14:27.531 --> 00:14:29.381 could have been a turnover quickly turns into 162 00:14:29.391 --> 00:14:33.591 a ball there and they could feel the where's good good ability to control the 163 00:14:33.601 --> 00:14:36.861 sticks pick up the balls again what's about to happen here in the center of the 164 00:14:36.871 --> 00:14:43.521 field is key for both teams you know we winning faceoffs is key and you know 165 00:14:43.811 --> 00:14:47.441 them keeping the bot of our hands at least from the get go is also pretty important 166 00:14:47.501 --> 00:14:54.463 so we we believe Number 10 is Jack you know meister. The 1st time 167 00:14:54.473 --> 00:14:59.083 he's taken face off this year at one point we know we had some questions about who 168 00:14:59.093 --> 00:15:03.893 was wearing Tenet who was wearing 14 so I'm going to go with hitter meisters 10 169 00:15:03.903 --> 00:15:07.623 impoverishes 14 until somebody tells us otherwise right you know please text the 170 00:15:07.633 --> 00:15:14.456 booth if you know who we are and we'll make sure that we clarify that. Again no 171 00:15:14.466 --> 00:15:18.786 reason to know that it's off but again the 1st time we've seen her mice or take 172 00:15:18.796 --> 00:15:22.986 a face officer and typically has been one of the rotation of 3 in that and doing it 173 00:15:22.986 --> 00:15:28.097 . Colby starts in moving around trying to create a little space make up make 174 00:15:28.107 --> 00:15:34.569 a play here still has possession of all being 175 00:15:34.579 --> 00:15:39.561 pursued Wilson with 176 00:15:39.571 --> 00:15:46.421 a fake. It was 177 00:15:46.431 --> 00:15:52.133 reaching for the flag on that yeah they were thinking of all right good patients 178 00:15:52.143 --> 00:15:53.703 here Wilson made 179 00:15:53.713 --> 00:15:58.053 a move there wasn't anything there he pulls back and we reset and we see shots up 180 00:15:58.063 --> 00:15:58.793 top and he's going to take 181 00:15:58.803 --> 00:16:02.693 a try at it here he can clearly make some room for himself but also get 182 00:16:02.703 --> 00:16:07.613 a good feel back to really deflate up top just under 5 minutes to nothing Wildcats 183 00:16:07.623 --> 00:16:12.723 here in Denver Grove heights on this Friday night. JACK THOMPSON Thompson down logs 184 00:16:12.733 --> 00:16:15.483 actually. Like to see the patients 185 00:16:15.493 --> 00:16:18.533 a little slower again than we're used to see the Wildcats plain but it's like lots 186 00:16:18.533 --> 00:16:23.373 .

One thing that was really impressive there Scott is extended possession 203 00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:33.020 by the Wildcats which serves you whether you're in 204 00:17:33.030 --> 00:17:35.210 a game where you're evenly matched or whether you're in 205 00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:36.780 a game that you are you know at 206 00:17:36.790 --> 00:17:41.130 a different level than your opponent having possession the sport is king it is 207 00:17:41.140 --> 00:17:45.010 absolutely being able to maintain it play catch make an attempt at the play back 208 00:17:45.020 --> 00:17:48.970 off reset if it doesn't work you also signed that other set that last possession 209 00:17:49.270 --> 00:17:55.290 you saw the versatility of your attacks and Mitty's being able to in essence switch 210 00:17:55.300 --> 00:17:59.200 around and rotate through positions are as Damien as Celts would take 211 00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:01.500 a high call that would take his place on the X. 212 00:18:01.510 --> 00:18:05.540 Right rotation that flexibility and adaptability to read the play and adjust and 213 00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:08.040 play your space whether you're an attack man 214 00:18:08.050 --> 00:18:12.340 a MITI right or whatever and they stick checked by thrall gets the ball on the turf 215 00:18:12.550 --> 00:18:16.790 and they scoop takes it across the center line finds Wilson who is are going to get 216 00:18:16.800 --> 00:18:20.420 back to Max making maybe some of the 1st moves we've seen Max out there tonight 217 00:18:21.130 --> 00:18:24.980 he's quick and we've seen him on the football field and we've seen him as an all 218 00:18:24.990 --> 00:18:29.620 big save their little quick given goal of Colbert long clearing pass by their 219 00:18:29.630 --> 00:18:30.280 goaltender 220 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:36.692 a little bit of 221 00:18:36.702 --> 00:18:39.112 a personnel issue there the shot 222 00:18:39.622 --> 00:18:43.952 a little short and gone are going to maintain position by the Spartans but it looks 223 00:18:43.962 --> 00:18:48.982 like that the the defense in their whole league and squad was just 224 00:18:48.992 --> 00:18:53.372 a little bit one step behind that last rush it cleared pretty quickly no harm no 225 00:18:53.382 --> 00:19:00.372 foul and the Spartans will try to reset as the ball hits the turf Cody 226 00:19:00.382 --> 00:19:01.382 Raider trying to take on 227 00:19:01.392 --> 00:19:05.012 a couple guys you like goalie in there to give some help. On 228 00:19:05.022 --> 00:19:09.824 a push in but leave the fans in the crowd con for the push but out there we got it 229 00:19:09.904 --> 00:19:14.774 we got it the blue crowd likes that they agree with the call absolutely back to the 230 00:19:14.784 --> 00:19:19.421 goalie and we're on for running again. I wouldn't be surprised got a few 231 00:19:19.431 --> 00:19:23.491 a rain drop or to follow the sky the night it was walking its way in from the West 232 00:19:23.501 --> 00:19:25.741 Yeah it's what brings it across sure was we had 233 00:19:25.751 --> 00:19:31.011 a clear sunny sky about 45 minutes ago and it's less of that right now looks like 234 00:19:31.021 --> 00:19:33.691 whips kind of knuckled this way and I got 235 00:19:33.701 --> 00:19:38.851 a shot on goal big save just under 2 minutes at $142.00 nothing cats couple and I 236 00:19:38.861 --> 00:19:42.711 say is buy a saver it's an early tonight do 237 00:19:42.721 --> 00:19:48.044 a nice job there's 238 00:19:48.054 --> 00:19:53.545 a guy coming in kind unabated Oh I might have been I say by steel very good save 239 00:19:53.555 --> 00:20:00.386 good position in so. Getting the ball wouldn't say their scoring 240 00:20:00.396 --> 00:20:06.128 chances are high percentage right there get some shots but they're. Still getting 241 00:20:06.138 --> 00:20:11.468 a good look at the shooting lane the no real threat as of yet no if that was my go 242 00:20:11.478 --> 00:20:16.518 to flag down back your cats have the ball clearly against the Spartans the that was 243 00:20:16.528 --> 00:20:18.338 my next comment that last shot while 244 00:20:18.488 --> 00:20:21.628 a pretty good shot fairly unobstructed in that kind of 245 00:20:21.638 --> 00:20:28.418 a routine save by steel so that worked out real well Max can't see the 246 00:20:28.428 --> 00:20:32.988 number which So you can't beat to flee as many as you want to make and yeah we saw 247 00:20:32.998 --> 00:20:39.028 the look another big save on else spall star was all shell takes up the rebound in 248 00:20:39.478 --> 00:20:45.870 your absence crease. I think yeah they are well I think it was the ref that we've 249 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:50.580 seen on your side was about ready to raise his hands he was waved off by the 250 00:20:50.590 --> 00:20:54.750 gentleman on the far side and recall crease violation and you know pretty 251 00:20:54.760 --> 00:20:58.110 subjective you know it's there's 252 00:20:58.330 --> 00:21:01.330 a lot of stuff going on top Yeah yeah there's certainly 253 00:21:01.340 --> 00:21:07.170 a lot to look for and you know he he he made the call he did he we'll see if we can 254 00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:11.390 change it we just reported Yeah right 44 seconds free meaning quarter 12 nothing 255 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:18.350 cats and again 2 while I think quarter one advantage even I do think that there and 256 00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:24.680 we talked about it earlier. This this kind of tight score does it does wonders for 257 00:21:24.690 --> 00:21:28.040 the Spartans and how they view their efforts to quarter one yeah they're certainly 258 00:21:28.050 --> 00:21:33.490 going to it gets going to keep their confidence up I. You know again I feel like 259 00:21:33.530 --> 00:21:34.770 Egan's going to get to 260 00:21:34.780 --> 00:21:36.640 a point here and you mentioned it earlier where they're going to get 261 00:21:36.650 --> 00:21:42.220 a couple 234 quick ones and kind of put some distance between themselves and 262 00:21:43.032 --> 00:21:48.922 there's about an ellipse. With us from Scholtz from the top. 263 00:21:50.022 --> 00:21:53.382 We've taken a few shots from the top at the same time we've worked the ball inside 264 00:21:53.392 --> 00:21:54.852 a number of times so we're not 265 00:21:54.862 --> 00:22:00.942 a one trick pony by any means at 3 nothing 17 seconds remaining quarter one but not 266 00:22:00.952 --> 00:22:03.602 like we've talked about are ready once a scab comes off 267 00:22:04.372 --> 00:22:09.121 a few could find the back of the net in a hurry Yeah and. Again we've we've got 268 00:22:09.131 --> 00:22:14.201 a. Severance made some stops right some big stops I think to really get things 269 00:22:14.211 --> 00:22:20.341 going quick passes quick passes from behind the net. Crossfield right quick catch 270 00:22:20.351 --> 00:22:24.871 a movie and get some quick shots I think that might be our best bet right to really 271 00:22:24.881 --> 00:22:26.431 get some real and get 272 00:22:26.441 --> 00:22:29.301 a nice one there from outside but I think that's going to be the way to get the 273 00:22:29.311 --> 00:22:33.641 goalie move and get him on his toes catch the defense out of position and create 274 00:22:34.061 --> 00:22:36.011 new not just trying to only to get 275 00:22:36.061 --> 00:22:40.751 a stick on the turf and is kicked out ball out of traffic he finds Wilson who as 276 00:22:40.761 --> 00:22:43.841 time ticks off stall was shot that's or good at ASCO that's 277 00:22:43.851 --> 00:22:45.661 a goal that was clearly 278 00:22:45.671 --> 00:22:50.691 a goal and it was very very close but I think the rough one of that goal from 279 00:22:50.701 --> 00:22:55.291 Scholtz with the crease violation to go so he clearly had an eye on the clock and 280 00:22:55.301 --> 00:23:00.611 made sure that he was well aware of the entire situation so we go for nothing 281 00:23:00.851 --> 00:23:07.112 Wildcats after one inverter all heights. Jack Stone 282 00:23:07.882 --> 00:23:11.942 with that 4th goal SOL So Scott real quickly quarter one. 283 00:23:14.481 --> 00:23:17.861 OK you know the faceoffs we've mitigated them 284 00:23:17.871 --> 00:23:24.101 a little bit it's not as bad we've been able to slow down there some force some on 285 00:23:24.111 --> 00:23:29.321 force errors by simply no real threats in our and good ball movement since made 286 00:23:29.331 --> 00:23:32.981 some big saves this one could be 8 to nothing if it wasn't for some of 8 or 9 and 287 00:23:32.991 --> 00:23:35.801 often if it wasn't for some of those big saves he's made in front of the NOT 288 00:23:35.811 --> 00:23:42.081 a couple of big scores so. You know let's see where we go from here but no real 289 00:23:42.091 --> 00:23:46.821 surprises yet for goals good quarter right right and I think that that difference 290 00:23:46.831 --> 00:23:50.381 so for nothing is right in the sweet spot of soon we kept 291 00:23:50.391 --> 00:23:55.411 a close or even asserting to exert its will Yeah I think that I think that oil coal 292 00:23:55.421 --> 00:23:58.431 and as time expires might yeah but oddly enough in 293 00:23:58.441 --> 00:24:00.811 a scheme of that might be the thing that's like oh there's a difference 294 00:24:00.821 --> 00:24:04.101 a big difference psychologically between 3 nothing and 4 and I would agree at the 295 00:24:04.111 --> 00:24:05.111 end the quarter we talked 296 00:24:05.121 --> 00:24:09.351 a lot about 5 goal he'd stop being safe but this again feels just 297 00:24:09.361 --> 00:24:11.821 a little different again like at the end of the 1st quarter last night it was 298 00:24:11.831 --> 00:24:16.351 $61.00 it was like yeah that this is OK I get so sick I will get 299 00:24:16.361 --> 00:24:21.761 a new future tonight and down the stretch it is our seniors spotlight Yeah this is 300 00:24:21.771 --> 00:24:26.221 something the broadcast teams in previous years have done and we wanted to continue 301 00:24:26.231 --> 00:24:32.261 that tradition to kind of honor our seniors we have 7 seniors on the squad we have 302 00:24:32.271 --> 00:24:36.931 7 games remaining that we are able to broadcast so we're going to start tonight 303 00:24:37.431 --> 00:24:43.301 with Tommy for Shay he is injured and not able to play for the season but he has 304 00:24:43.311 --> 00:24:46.811 chosen to remain with the team stay engaged be 305 00:24:46.971 --> 00:24:50.531 a full fledged member of the team doing what he can whether it's warming the goalie 306 00:24:50.541 --> 00:24:54.881 up helping the team being a moral support. Taking on 307 00:24:54.891 --> 00:24:58.171 a leadership role even though he is unable to get out in the field so we want to 308 00:24:58.181 --> 00:25:00.461 start with him we think that's just 309 00:25:00.471 --> 00:25:03.291 a real special thing that that young man has done and he wants to make 310 00:25:03.301 --> 00:25:06.711 a contribution to the program it is Senior year even though he can't go out on the 311 00:25:06.721 --> 00:25:08.531 field to do things so Tom Tom was 312 00:25:08.541 --> 00:25:14.571 a middy this would have been his 3rd year on the varsity squad. Certainly 313 00:25:14.581 --> 00:25:21.051 a talented player he he will be playing lacrosse next year at Rockhurst in it's 314 00:25:21.061 --> 00:25:24.601 just outside of Kansas City it's a division 2 school so that's going to be 315 00:25:24.611 --> 00:25:26.431 a fantastic opportunity for him 316 00:25:26.441 --> 00:25:31.691 a talented talented young man go the cross player and unfortunately injuries happen 317 00:25:31.701 --> 00:25:32.131 it happened in 318 00:25:32.141 --> 00:25:36.531 a fall classic game but he's going to get an opportunity to continue his career at 319 00:25:36.541 --> 00:25:41.851 the next level which was great parents Joe and Bob I think many of you know who 320 00:25:41.861 --> 00:25:47.581 they are they were around at games and social events and such like that Tom has 2 321 00:25:47.591 --> 00:25:51.181 older sisters one older brother older brother played in the can program several 322 00:25:51.191 --> 00:25:54.571 years ago was a fine across player. Tom 323 00:25:55.361 --> 00:25:59.441 a number of other activities played youth hockey coming up through the good hockey 324 00:25:59.451 --> 00:26:04.341 association played junior gold hockey basketball the high school which I know is 325 00:26:04.351 --> 00:26:05.661 a popular activity amongst 326 00:26:05.671 --> 00:26:12.142 a lot of the guys on the team and was involved in the green club. You know most 327 00:26:12.152 --> 00:26:13.832 memorable Laxman when he talks about being 328 00:26:13.842 --> 00:26:18.262 a part of that 2017 state championship team and again most of the guys here last 329 00:26:18.272 --> 00:26:21.602 year this year that come through that were on that team that's their most memorable 330 00:26:21.612 --> 00:26:28.341 moment and how can it not be ready just just fabulous so I had the opportunity. I 331 00:26:28.351 --> 00:26:32.181 had the opportunity to coach Tommy in hockey and Peewee when he was 332 00:26:32.191 --> 00:26:35.591 a 7th grader and he truly is 333 00:26:35.601 --> 00:26:40.531 a great great player to have on your team lot of energy good leadership he's kind 334 00:26:40.541 --> 00:26:44.291 of was the pulse of the locker room one of the leaders of the team and could get 335 00:26:44.301 --> 00:26:47.911 the guys going in the locker room and could really get things going on the ice with 336 00:26:47.921 --> 00:26:52.831 that that the energy of his personality and that energy displayed and it's just 337 00:26:52.841 --> 00:26:55.431 a real great kid it's just a certainly 338 00:26:55.471 --> 00:26:59.311 a pleasure to watch the young man grow up watching have some success on the 339 00:26:59.321 --> 00:27:05.191 lacrosse field and again get an opportunity to play collegiately So Tommy. 340 00:27:06.401 --> 00:27:11.391 Great good job great leader for the program we are so thankful that you continue to 341 00:27:11.401 --> 00:27:11.471 be 342 00:27:11.481 --> 00:27:15.131 a part of the program this year even though you're not playing and we wish you nothing 343 00:27:15.141 --> 00:27:20.001 but the best of luck next year Rocker's absolutely well done sky Yes see him out 344 00:27:20.011 --> 00:27:24.191 there supporting the team still given the fact that he can play very inspiring says 345 00:27:24.201 --> 00:27:28.461 a lot about the kids character how absolutely does yeah I just he's 346 00:27:28.471 --> 00:27:33.711 a guy you want on your team he really is very cats got the ball back we cannot let 347 00:27:33.721 --> 00:27:36.231 the action on the field speak for itself saw 348 00:27:36.401 --> 00:27:40.601 a couple of big one big say for sure by the Spartan goaltender on the cats 349 00:27:41.041 --> 00:27:42.221 effectively Here's 350 00:27:42.231 --> 00:27:47.661 a nice stick check on Gibson Spartans are trying to get the ground ball but the 351 00:27:48.401 --> 00:27:55.251 954 in quarter 2 and the cats have kind of controlled the pace of play and had 352 00:27:55.261 --> 00:28:01.632 possession this 2nd quarter as we're sitting up for nothing Spartans have the ball 353 00:28:01.642 --> 00:28:02.502 and they're setting up 354 00:28:10.953 --> 00:28:16.653 so again they're going to want to slow and keep it slow hold possession don't even 355 00:28:16.663 --> 00:28:20.893 have the ball. That like we said earlier the challenge is can it can they can they 356 00:28:21.193 --> 00:28:24.533 keep possession and not turn the ball over on their own accord which has been 357 00:28:24.543 --> 00:28:25.863 a little bit of an issue as 358 00:28:25.873 --> 00:28:29.173 a fire in the game there's clearly been some unforced errors right now the 359 00:28:29.183 --> 00:28:32.173 perimeter defense is holding up nicely in the just don't have 360 00:28:32.183 --> 00:28:34.670 a lot of. They don't have really put 361 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:38.010 a real threat together they're able to pass the ball around quite 362 00:28:38.020 --> 00:28:39.790 a bit as their mood it will close here with 363 00:28:39.800 --> 00:28:44.780 a shot the score as we just say how the perimeter game has been holding up nicely. 364 00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:50.320 It was just Johnson senior midfielder nifty little move there got off 365 00:28:50.330 --> 00:28:53.761 a good quick shot so it gives of the Spartans 366 00:28:53.771 --> 00:28:59.381 a little life right gets that brings that back to the 3 goal deficit which helps 367 00:28:59.391 --> 00:29:02.601 right that's their 1st 1st that was their 1st really good looking scoring 368 00:29:02.611 --> 00:29:07.121 opportunity of the game and they converted well and again to that's the 1st time 369 00:29:07.131 --> 00:29:11.931 that they've actually run that ball up so close to the post and used in that one 370 00:29:11.941 --> 00:29:16.441 step and you get a shot from that that close in the it's 371 00:29:16.451 --> 00:29:21.851 a high percentage shot actually the poll is oftentimes kind of contributing to 372 00:29:21.861 --> 00:29:27.691 a little bit of the screening thing got to be movement on the Spartans and the big 373 00:29:27.701 --> 00:29:32.391 blue will take over but yeah those are tough ones to defend so cats got to just 374 00:29:32.401 --> 00:29:33.171 kind of reset 375 00:29:33.441 --> 00:29:42.432 a little misstep on the Eagan Wildcats part so 376 00:29:42.442 --> 00:29:44.872 the Wildcats given the Spartans a little let them have 377 00:29:44.882 --> 00:29:50.460 a little life here. Let's see if we can force a turnover to be 378 00:29:50.470 --> 00:29:54.910 a time out. Simply would be like yeah we got the hour they were in 379 00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.500 a bit of trouble there and they were about to turn the ball over and what could 380 00:29:57.510 --> 00:30:00.120 have been a quick dangerous 2 on one or a potentially 381 00:30:00.130 --> 00:30:05.140 a 3 on one if you get picked up the ball Sky's continue to darken here in invertor 382 00:30:05.150 --> 00:30:08.330 over as the weather system that supposed to do 383 00:30:08.340 --> 00:30:13.660 a little something to the metropolitan area tonight is seemingly making its way and 384 00:30:13.670 --> 00:30:17.390 I can't tell for picking up any sprinkles I don't think so yeah it doesn't appear 385 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:21.900 so we don't see any umbrellas out or and will be rolling out here in the home. So 386 00:30:21.910 --> 00:30:27.340 again 2 for Scott we we've had big 1st quarters in 387 00:30:27.350 --> 00:30:32.970 a couple of contests this year and then it's that 2nd quarter that we may look at 388 00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:37.330 the score and say OK you know we're serving some well on these on these folks yeah 389 00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:40.560 and then we can we get off the accelerator 390 00:30:40.570 --> 00:30:43.300 a little bit yeah it feels like we get off of our other mellowed out just 391 00:30:43.310 --> 00:30:47.110 a little bit and so it's almost like you kind of was one of those power outages 392 00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:52.330 that we had to eat in Wildcats Sam would take the scoreboard out so that the kids 393 00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:56.890 could just say hey let's just keep passing shooting and scoring you know not worry 394 00:30:56.900 --> 00:31:02.110 about the 4th and 5 enough the 6 enough and every goal you know is of itself you 395 00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:08.050 know on its own merit yet play our game player game whether it's 00550 in your 396 00:31:08.060 --> 00:31:11.920 points favor fives or in your favor play the game play your game execute the game 397 00:31:11.930 --> 00:31:17.740 plan and. Long clearing past economics us for you I Tommy my zingers been kind of 398 00:31:17.750 --> 00:31:22.670 a sniper this year a look at some stats he's he's really been all over 399 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:27.750 a lot of the different defensive type statistical things of ground balls and forced 400 00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:32.020 turnovers and things like that another perfect opportunity there he does eyeball 401 00:31:32.030 --> 00:31:34.150 that jumped up and took it down yeah played 402 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.950 a little free safety I think is what I think we call that right like that we have 403 00:31:37.990 --> 00:31:43.620 you know football can never be too far from our blocks from our very bitter So yeah 404 00:31:43.630 --> 00:31:47.870 just great anticipation of what happened stepped up and picked it off and got 405 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.570 a possession for you can catch are going to maintain Schultz will get it started 406 00:31:51.580 --> 00:31:58.462 for us here over Wilson in the kind of take it back up time 407 00:31:59.772 --> 00:32:05.402 and we decided that that was for him or mayster or POV occurs in 14 politics 14 or 408 00:32:05.412 --> 00:32:09.622 vice or 10 we're probably going to be struggling with us I think you know 13 and 409 00:32:10.693 --> 00:32:13.483 you know hopefully they'll just change numbers next year then we have to worry 410 00:32:13.493 --> 00:32:17.755 about it but you could show how there has been some have been some great saves out 411 00:32:17.765 --> 00:32:24.386 of that Spartan goalie he's earning his keep tonight for sure yeah that's 412 00:32:24.426 --> 00:32:28.756 a boy I count 56 been so it's no doubt Colby Sorenson had 413 00:32:28.766 --> 00:32:33.556 a nice pick off opportunity as the Spartans were kind of pushing the issue that one 414 00:32:33.566 --> 00:32:40.176 might get out of bounds and it did turn over Big Blue will take the ball back looks 415 00:32:40.186 --> 00:32:43.566 like don't was going to dish it off to Sorenson I believe 416 00:32:48.747 --> 00:32:52.067 yeah but another opportunity that the ball is in and out of Sorenson's sticks so 417 00:32:52.077 --> 00:32:58.017 there are these long passes I don't. Feel vision isn't fantastic because misers 418 00:32:58.027 --> 00:33:01.037 sniped on Colby have Sorenson almost no 2 and just 419 00:33:01.047 --> 00:33:06.691 a few moments ago as well. You know so hold up full image of the radar here here 420 00:33:06.701 --> 00:33:11.811 a little maybe rain showers off to the west the question will be Holland does it 421 00:33:11.821 --> 00:33:12.901 take to arrive in 422 00:33:12.911 --> 00:33:19.211 a girl fights again does it is it an hour 2 hours away or 3 again it looks like 423 00:33:19.221 --> 00:33:23.781 just some ah garden variety rain which would stop the game from being played but it 424 00:33:23.791 --> 00:33:24.981 you know again we have done have 425 00:33:24.991 --> 00:33:28.671 a good gauge on how far away to sulfa we get this one and everybody stays dry and 426 00:33:28.681 --> 00:33:35.541 we're not weather man we're not no 643 remaining skies dark and slightly but like 427 00:33:35.551 --> 00:33:36.981 Scott said it probably will not have 428 00:33:36.991 --> 00:33:41.581 a great impact on the game being on turf being garden variety and the forecasts all 429 00:33:41.591 --> 00:33:45.591 did not talk plain the real ferocious No no no you know light obviously the thing 430 00:33:45.601 --> 00:33:52.092 that. There's a another perfect opportunity of 431 00:33:52.102 --> 00:33:57.832 a. We make our own opportunities and while again we may be personnel wise just 432 00:33:57.872 --> 00:33:59.042 a little bit in 433 00:33:59.052 --> 00:34:03.982 a different place than the Spartans you get used to anticipating against whoever 434 00:34:03.992 --> 00:34:08.942 that you're your opponent is and so there's another opportunity we're Wilson and I 435 00:34:08.952 --> 00:34:13.272 jumped ship on that one and it was awesome but Greengrass course the goalie did 436 00:34:13.282 --> 00:34:17.292 everything in his power to get back there but roll drop shoulder and goes over real 437 00:34:17.302 --> 00:34:24.252 clear shot 51 Eagan over the Spartans right now 623 remaining quarter 438 00:34:24.262 --> 00:34:29.312 number 2 and that's kind of demoralizing because the fact of the matter is that 439 00:34:29.502 --> 00:34:32.662 that really didn't have to at least get off and running the way you know it and you 440 00:34:32.672 --> 00:34:36.742 know by the defender even tried his best to tackle drill sudden been 441 00:34:36.752 --> 00:34:39.022 a good penalty yeah I would have but I was able to get through get 442 00:34:39.032 --> 00:34:43.752 a shot off and goalie in Cyprus and unfortunately it was wouldn't have stopped it 443 00:34:43.762 --> 00:34:50.281 right so. We got her 444 00:34:50.291 --> 00:34:57.101 Meister in the circle here again adding his name to the. Longer list of by 445 00:34:57.111 --> 00:35:02.131 committee faceoff guys and again we've we've clamped down and locked up pretty well 446 00:35:02.141 --> 00:35:06.431 it hasn't been real clean by either team the last couple have me big advantage 447 00:35:06.441 --> 00:35:10.481 Spartans and we'll see how this one goes you know what you're not seeing though is 448 00:35:11.011 --> 00:35:12.281 a clean when and 449 00:35:12.291 --> 00:35:18.661 a sprint down the middle of the field by the by the. Spartans face off and this is 450 00:35:18.671 --> 00:35:23.431 another perfect example what you can count to to yell for that ball gets all over 451 00:35:23.441 --> 00:35:26.991 that initial scrum everywhere we're right where we're at right now that's 452 00:35:27.001 --> 00:35:31.361 a win for us because we've got Gallus We've got Miles here we've got guys that can 453 00:35:31.371 --> 00:35:35.861 hustle in there and get that that scoop off the ground flag flag down. 454 00:35:39.342 --> 00:35:44.405 Be on simly 10 could have been a I thought I heard 455 00:35:44.415 --> 00:35:49.785 a few parents in the yell ward in the stands on that last little shoulder dip but 456 00:35:49.995 --> 00:35:55.967 play looks like it's going to stop here we're going to get the call to see the flag 457 00:35:56.107 --> 00:36:02.049 it was it's over on the far side of the field. But I don't see it as not 458 00:36:02.059 --> 00:36:05.549 a real sense of urgency although maybe Jerry used to seeing guys go to the other 459 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:09.959 side of the field so now we've got oh yeah he gets number twos down that's Jacob 460 00:36:09.969 --> 00:36:16.890 Hagman the face off specialist 32nd 32nd hold on number 461 00:36:16.900 --> 00:36:23.730 2. To. Man up situation quick 30 seconds again work it around get 462 00:36:23.740 --> 00:36:29.080 a good clean shot take advantage of the situation yeah definitely I mean almost 463 00:36:29.120 --> 00:36:33.340 without regard to who you are you don't want to get the Wildcats into 464 00:36:33.350 --> 00:36:38.200 a man and situation we're used to moving the bar on in 30 seconds is plenty of time 465 00:36:39.130 --> 00:36:39.320 to get 466 00:36:39.330 --> 00:36:42.750 a lot of those high shots from the perimeter Yeah that is the goal he's doing 467 00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:46.660 a nice job he is the ideal he sees those and again I think we've got to get the 468 00:36:46.670 --> 00:36:48.730 ball moving laterally 469 00:36:48.740 --> 00:36:55.500 a little bit or vertically from behind the net if that makes sense he's getting he 470 00:36:55.510 --> 00:37:00.540 can see those right nicely done by reps on the push out we you know we got we've 471 00:37:00.550 --> 00:37:03.610 got some guys with hard shots but some of those you just see he's got 472 00:37:03.620 --> 00:37:07.870 a good line of sight to him and he's pretty skilled up he stock goes again you know 473 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.940 some good saves there so I think that you know again the goalie has demonstrated 474 00:37:13.950 --> 00:37:17.640 that he's got good vision tonight and he is stopping those so that might be a 475 00:37:17.930 --> 00:37:20.940 a call to our push in a man up situation 476 00:37:20.950 --> 00:37:25.660 a call to try to make some space and get some passing done stone too and everything 477 00:37:25.670 --> 00:37:29.990 in his power to stay in biology and he might have this got the line there yeah he 478 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:36.180 was I get pinballs around and he just told the line on that last little body check 479 00:37:36.270 --> 00:37:40.872 I don't believe it was a timeout or was it it was you know you get 480 00:37:40.882 --> 00:37:44.962 a time oh yeah right yeah it's a little little hard to see that it's 481 00:37:44.972 --> 00:37:46.542 a navy blue or a black It's 482 00:37:46.552 --> 00:37:50.562 a natural key to see that rely on that worn surface and what would be in the 483 00:37:50.602 --> 00:37:55.711 football team area. So 51 we're 484 00:37:55.721 --> 00:38:01.661 a little over halfway through the 2nd quarter. I think our shot selections you know 485 00:38:01.671 --> 00:38:03.511 maybe needs to shift 486 00:38:03.521 --> 00:38:08.991 a little more quicker ball movement through the fence of zoned to put similes 487 00:38:09.001 --> 00:38:12.671 goalie on his heels and get it moving around because if he sat get his stick up and 488 00:38:12.681 --> 00:38:14.691 he sees the lane he I'm probably going to start 489 00:38:14.701 --> 00:38:18.841 a good vision tonight and again if you're going back and forth or from the back 490 00:38:18.851 --> 00:38:23.901 behind him into the into the slot there is a lot tougher to get set up and make 491 00:38:23.911 --> 00:38:26.651 a good save but you know from the top he's done he's done 492 00:38:26.661 --> 00:38:31.482 a really nice job he's probably got. Between a half a dozen and 493 00:38:31.492 --> 00:38:37.792 a dozen saves really quality saves as the time out is over and the 494 00:38:37.962 --> 00:38:44.943 Wildcats will try to get started again so on and you know 495 00:38:44.983 --> 00:38:50.153 again well as we as we. We've been talking over the last couple days here as we get 496 00:38:50.163 --> 00:38:57.035 into the back half back 3rd of our schedule we'll see better attack 497 00:38:57.045 --> 00:39:03.705 and better faceoff better better. Midfielders defense we'll see some pretty good 498 00:39:03.715 --> 00:39:08.865 goalies here too coming up and this it's good that we get this opportunity to face 499 00:39:08.875 --> 00:39:13.215 a goalie who can stop shots right he can stop those shots that some other goalies 500 00:39:13.225 --> 00:39:17.585 might watch sail past and so a good good good not really good Sure good except 501 00:39:17.595 --> 00:39:23.550 a good preparation for what's to come. And I make in who's 502 00:39:24.380 --> 00:39:28.680 got good wheels kind of snake this way through traffic dumped it off to one of the 503 00:39:28.690 --> 00:39:34.050 Poles don't Lee who is getting it off quick to whips now we get to touch and work 504 00:39:34.060 --> 00:39:34.170 on 505 00:39:34.180 --> 00:39:37.830 a rock and roll and doesn't look like whips is going to slow down anytime soon but 506 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:41.370 he got it over to Wilson who lost his footing for 507 00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:45.640 a moment little no look fake pass and then turned quick and lost his footing 508 00:39:45.650 --> 00:39:51.310 a little off topic to be called Gibson and will slow it down here with $412.00 509 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:56.650 remaining quarter to 5 one catch here over at Eric Packie Memorial Stadium in 510 00:39:56.660 --> 00:40:02.653 Denver Grove heights on this Friday night in 511 00:40:03.023 --> 00:40:09.663 a ball on the ground and out of the pot only did it make up we got 512 00:40:09.673 --> 00:40:14.743 a room we got a penalty flag down probably a slash could be some sort of 513 00:40:14.753 --> 00:40:21.246 a push to. See what they with the call is we had that Spartan in 514 00:40:21.256 --> 00:40:26.986 trouble as he was trying to. To kind of get his bearings and start the. 515 00:40:28.238 --> 00:40:34.890 Start the March down the field. Trip one minute tripping Pelling in summer 516 00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:41.840 9 cold Gibson 353 remaining 51 cats. I 517 00:40:42.150 --> 00:40:48.880 believe this is the 1st man down situation that you will find itself in again 518 00:40:48.890 --> 00:40:51.930 too with some of the unforced errors Scott it's it's 519 00:40:51.940 --> 00:40:57.240 a good possibility that we could get possession back and then kind of take our take 520 00:40:57.250 --> 00:41:01.450 some of the life out of this one minute penalty that we sure could you know Eakins 521 00:41:01.460 --> 00:41:06.200 man down has been really solid this year again we don't have the exact numbers in 522 00:41:06.210 --> 00:41:10.060 front of us but just going off for a collection it's not been 523 00:41:10.070 --> 00:41:13.680 a serious issue that are exactly where we were forced to turn over and picked up on 524 00:41:13.690 --> 00:41:17.670 great great great call there now here's where we you know this is where it has to 525 00:41:17.680 --> 00:41:18.910 kind of slow down this 526 00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:25.230 a little bit still get Mizer in the act and again. You know it isn't 527 00:41:25.240 --> 00:41:28.770 a 65 game we're right right right we're going to hold on to that ball 528 00:41:28.780 --> 00:41:32.370 a little longer we did turn it right back over with you know probably half the 529 00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:38.230 penalty remaining. Spartans marching at the touched defense the short defense 530 00:41:38.240 --> 00:41:43.090 trying to get sat but they did give it they kind of handed us one there Scott in 531 00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.180 the clean turn Oh yeah they did it was just 532 00:41:45.190 --> 00:41:49.630 a clean pack and. They're not there looks like we're going to get another one and 533 00:41:50.130 --> 00:41:54.550 my zingers going to get that picked up and most of the penalty is probably over but 534 00:41:54.560 --> 00:41:56.090 I think Colbert's going to slow it down 535 00:41:56.100 --> 00:42:03.091 a little bit. Got the ball picked from him well Malaki crunch 536 00:42:03.881 --> 00:42:07.701 and the ball out of bounds I don't know if they can rough the kick he was going to 537 00:42:07.711 --> 00:42:10.001 get all movement in there but the boy is going to give 538 00:42:10.011 --> 00:42:12.761 a little man hug road which is a creative way 539 00:42:13.251 --> 00:42:17.591 a double check maybe half so if he was is the macho crunch which And then the man 540 00:42:17.601 --> 00:42:22.381 hug and the ref did not need to go in there and and exert his Hey guys let's keep 541 00:42:22.391 --> 00:42:29.313 it clean because we clearly did all other another little 542 00:42:29.323 --> 00:42:29.513 bit of 543 00:42:29.523 --> 00:42:33.083 a drop there have been some problems hanging onto the ball push and probably be 544 00:42:33.093 --> 00:42:36.833 Spartan ball and that when there are penalties over. 545 00:42:40.933 --> 00:42:47.761 You get things kind of reset here briefly. So similes just kind of hanging 546 00:42:47.771 --> 00:42:54.433 around here we thought maybe we thought maybe you know it when he got that 4th call 547 00:42:54.443 --> 00:42:58.343 that might break things open a little bit and there's a flag that's going to be 548 00:42:58.353 --> 00:43:04.396 a slash tell us I believe you know about that I mean. I think you'd all be in is 549 00:43:04.406 --> 00:43:08.336 far away as we are going up there great play there by my eyes in your game I think 550 00:43:08.346 --> 00:43:12.336 you're all over the place tonight and I know other flags coming down Saul 551 00:43:12.916 --> 00:43:17.736 offsetting maybe I don't see what happened on the 2nd one I know you know I wonder 552 00:43:17.746 --> 00:43:21.496 if there was something some extracurriculars after the when the player was on the 553 00:43:21.506 --> 00:43:27.248 ground it looks like so that's the miser's walking my eyes are as common and 554 00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:32.650 is gallows Yeah yeah it's probably get the slash begin to if the referee probably 555 00:43:32.660 --> 00:43:33.480 sounded. 556 00:43:41.752 --> 00:43:42.992 OK We got a slash and 557 00:43:43.002 --> 00:43:48.582 a push and it's an LS party in the penalty area you know really is and it was 558 00:43:48.592 --> 00:43:53.662 a timeout probably by Sam Lee I don't think yeah somebody they're going to game 559 00:43:53.672 --> 00:43:57.222 plan this thing out a minute and a half you're 30 seconds of a of 560 00:43:57.232 --> 00:44:03.482 a 2 man advantage to 14 remaining 1st half 51 Eagan 561 00:44:04.272 --> 00:44:05.602 the Spartans will find themselves with 562 00:44:05.612 --> 00:44:11.352 a 2 man advantage for the next 30 seconds and then a one man advantage for 563 00:44:11.362 --> 00:44:18.232 a minute following that after the infractions so. Similarly. Is thinking hey 564 00:44:19.073 --> 00:44:20.033 if we can get 565 00:44:20.043 --> 00:44:25.293 a goal out of this and get out in the locker room down 3 at half time while the 566 00:44:25.403 --> 00:44:28.583 again low scoring slower pace of the game the game feels 567 00:44:28.593 --> 00:44:30.413 a little feels like it's grinding 568 00:44:30.423 --> 00:44:33.403 a little bit feels like kind of getting wall to sleep 569 00:44:33.413 --> 00:44:37.643 a slow quarter for the Wildcats So they see an opportunity to keep this game 570 00:44:37.653 --> 00:44:42.471 competitive and. The Wildcats you know and you have your 2 top al Samson in the 571 00:44:42.481 --> 00:44:45.841 penalty box those are you know those guys are on the field in your man down 572 00:44:45.851 --> 00:44:52.311 situations so you've got you know 2 of your. Top 2 Alice Sams on the side so be 573 00:44:52.321 --> 00:44:59.181 interested to see what lineup Eagan goes with here to manage this situation because 574 00:44:59.191 --> 00:45:06.082 it's you know what 24 Yeah 4 players Well clearly we need to you know for 575 00:45:06.122 --> 00:45:10.242 a for just about the balance of the 1st half here we're going to be at a in 576 00:45:10.252 --> 00:45:15.442 a man down situation 2 men down you know for the next 30 so it could be 577 00:45:15.452 --> 00:45:21.273 a golden opportunity for the Spartans to climb back in this at least 578 00:45:21.283 --> 00:45:25.403 a little bit so in this alignment for Poles on the field again you can have up to 4 579 00:45:25.413 --> 00:45:27.553 long poles on the field at a time and in 580 00:45:27.563 --> 00:45:34.473 a 6 like that Are you want want to play thralls 581 00:45:34.483 --> 00:45:37.923 good and that close we've commented on that throughout the year and that close 582 00:45:37.933 --> 00:45:42.523 contact one on one man on ball and man on ball situation that's where he excels and 583 00:45:42.533 --> 00:45:48.175 he's a big kid to us or you think voters India aggressive player you know 584 00:45:48.185 --> 00:45:52.546 a big turnover here for yeah. It's you know again this is 585 00:45:52.556 --> 00:45:57.476 a situation where I think the fact that the extra defender on the field is at this 586 00:45:57.486 --> 00:46:02.176 point is that heartens and we've got the 1st one back here so we got our storm's 587 00:46:02.186 --> 00:46:04.976 going to return to make us don't one 588 00:46:10.467 --> 00:46:12.987 yet. Man he steals saw I mean 589 00:46:12.997 --> 00:46:16.017 a win over the net but still saw that one all the way yeah I know it was 590 00:46:16.787 --> 00:46:18.437 a shot but you said it was not 591 00:46:18.447 --> 00:46:26.501 a kit was it easily contestable Saul. Big 592 00:46:26.511 --> 00:46:31.281 save their excessive I've got to clear it out and looks like that is greater and 593 00:46:31.291 --> 00:46:36.721 greater or less the school dumps account to US Steel who's trying to keep control 594 00:46:36.731 --> 00:46:43.571 that does clears. Up the best clearing you know kind of the feet of Tanner 595 00:46:43.581 --> 00:46:48.121 whips it was able to gain control of it he was so now you can with possession 596 00:46:48.931 --> 00:46:53.961 a shot there and shelters got it you got it in possession he's going to take 597 00:46:53.971 --> 00:46:58.383 a look and try and you know I don't know that it would be you might as well that 598 00:46:58.393 --> 00:46:59.843 once you have possession we'll find 599 00:46:59.853 --> 00:47:05.623 a good shot we're just about we're probably back at full strength now so try to get 600 00:47:05.633 --> 00:47:08.153 one more looks like a stone is going to take 601 00:47:08.163 --> 00:47:12.494 a stab at or Colbert with 3 bald Gibson with the rebound 602 00:47:19.786 --> 00:47:22.316 you know what I looked like we were we were rushing 603 00:47:22.326 --> 00:47:26.496 a little bit there and now there are still 45 seconds left on the clock it's like 604 00:47:27.927 --> 00:47:28.087 that's 605 00:47:28.097 --> 00:47:33.287 a lot of boys it was slow it down yeah collect yourselves look for grease out and 606 00:47:33.447 --> 00:47:37.607 run the play right run the often Stewie you need to do in there just fortunately 607 00:47:38.117 --> 00:47:41.897 maintain possession of the ball but that little break in the action might 608 00:47:41.907 --> 00:47:47.708 a service while there we go and Tanner which converts on that old 10 or what's on 609 00:47:47.718 --> 00:47:52.098 the go I would assume Jack Stone will get the assessed on that one I would yeah 610 00:47:52.828 --> 00:47:54.618 yeah yeah they're giving it to me I got 611 00:47:54.628 --> 00:48:01.280 a 20 to 50 I don't see how biased from stone with 20 seconds 612 00:48:01.290 --> 00:48:07.882 remaining So again to. 613 00:48:08.902 --> 00:48:12.782 Kind of a hauntingly familiar halftime score we've seen that at the end of 614 00:48:12.792 --> 00:48:14.312 a couple different quarters it's 615 00:48:14.322 --> 00:48:18.872 a 5 goal margin I think the Spartans can still say hey look at us for hanging 616 00:48:18.882 --> 00:48:20.332 around we've blown 617 00:48:20.342 --> 00:48:25.042 a few opportunities we've had all up big man up situation with our execution has 618 00:48:25.052 --> 00:48:30.182 not been Chris we've won you know over half the faceoff probably not not you know 619 00:48:30.332 --> 00:48:34.782 and there's one for the for the Wildcats with 16 seconds as stone is kind of 620 00:48:35.152 --> 00:48:41.470 getting his field goggles on. Shot the score got another one yeah now that's the 621 00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.500 kind of thing that can again we talked about the scoring fast we've now got 2 goals 622 00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:51.930 and 13 seconds yeah so $71.00 catch that stone on the system was 7.6 seconds during 623 00:48:51.940 --> 00:48:56.270 the 1st half and again those are that those are kind of the sequence of events that 624 00:48:56.280 --> 00:49:00.490 can inflict a lot of damage to the soul as you said to yourself and 625 00:49:00.500 --> 00:49:04.520 a half you have because when when when simply took that time out on that that you 626 00:49:04.530 --> 00:49:09.060 know to man up there think and all right let's get it down to 3 well they don't 627 00:49:09.070 --> 00:49:09.690 convert make 628 00:49:09.700 --> 00:49:13.210 a couple turn overs and now they're down 6 Yeah and they get into that was a 629 00:49:13.730 --> 00:49:18.720 a real seriously uncashed opportunity for them in that I can think of at least you 630 00:49:18.730 --> 00:49:25.350 know 2 clear Miss miscues on the Spartans during that man of situation and there is 631 00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:30.430 the horn which is fortunately outside of the box tonight also thank goodness we are 632 00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:36.720 sitting here at half time. On this Friday night is boys lacrosse contests are you 633 00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:42.940 Wildcats 7 the simly Spartans one Scott again what what sticks out in the 1st half 634 00:49:42.980 --> 00:49:47.420 the unforced errors in the mistakes by simply I mean you just every time you look 635 00:49:47.430 --> 00:49:52.000 up dropping balls it shouldn't be dropped miscues on passes just some basic stick 636 00:49:52.010 --> 00:49:58.850 in hand work that's just not there and right now it's preventing simly from being 637 00:49:58.860 --> 00:50:02.330 in this game and as I look down I look at the results of some of the other games 638 00:50:02.340 --> 00:50:05.770 it's like it's probably the reason they're not closer in those other games too and 639 00:50:05.780 --> 00:50:09.900 that's simple basic stuff and we take that for granted in Eagan our guys got 640 00:50:09.910 --> 00:50:14.650 coached from an early age wall ball passing catching the basics that lay the 641 00:50:14.660 --> 00:50:19.460 foundation for what we see today. Not suggesting it didn't get cold should we just 642 00:50:19.470 --> 00:50:22.850 aren't seeing evidence I feel that it's the thing that's keeping similes got 643 00:50:22.860 --> 00:50:28.420 a decent goalie adequate face off man if they're having trouble whole non ball and 644 00:50:28.460 --> 00:50:32.340 you mention the goalie and that was my that was my next point you save yourself OK 645 00:50:32.350 --> 00:50:37.540 with this abundance of miscues Why are the Spartans Why are the Spartans down by 646 00:50:37.580 --> 00:50:41.130 double digit goals because of that goaltender Yeah and I absolutely think he 647 00:50:41.140 --> 00:50:46.210 probably has had upwards of 10 to 12 really really impressive saves that are 648 00:50:46.220 --> 00:50:50.680 keeping this game you know even within reach at this point yeah 3 or 4 more point 649 00:50:50.690 --> 00:50:51.960 blank and he made big 650 00:50:51.970 --> 00:50:55.960 a few 345 big big big saves that would in most cases been goals get out then we're 651 00:50:55.970 --> 00:50:56.380 talking with 652 00:50:56.390 --> 00:50:59.980 a completely different outcome so let's see what happens in the 2nd half I think 653 00:50:59.990 --> 00:51:04.430 the Wildcats gotta keep rolling if they only keep making those unforced errors this 654 00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:08.680 leads going to grow and grow and grow as the as the as the game wears on so we are 655 00:51:08.690 --> 00:51:12.610 at the exact halfway point of the regular season we're halfway through Game 7 so. 656 00:51:13.700 --> 00:51:19.220 It goes fast it does come back for the 2nd half air and. On the down slope into the 657 00:51:19.260 --> 00:51:23.400 sectional playoffs so we'll keep our eyes on the sky as we send you off in 658 00:51:23.410 --> 00:51:27.230 a half time this is Scott and Ken with their good friends from Egan T.V. 659 00:51:27.290 --> 00:51:31.680 We're in Virgo high for this Friday night Telt we'll come back after the balance 660 00:51:31.690 --> 00:51:33.290 a half time get you back in 661 00:51:33.300 --> 00:51:37.270 a quarter 3 and as the game wears on we'll look ahead and see who the Eagan 662 00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:41.470 Wildcats have on their schedule we'll talk to you guys shortly this is Ken and Sky 663 00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:42.170 T.V. 664 00:51:42.180 --> 00:58:58.491 It ever grow. All 665 00:58:58.501 --> 00:59:04.131 right hey look Ross sports fans we are back this is Ken and Scott we've got Aaron 666 00:59:04.141 --> 00:59:05.971 and Nick here from E.T.V. 667 00:59:06.261 --> 00:59:10.771 And they are getting the job done we are fortunate enough to be in the press box 668 00:59:10.781 --> 00:59:15.071 here at Eric pocky Stadium in Denver Grove heights as the teams take the field in 669 00:59:15.281 --> 00:59:19.341 that little bit of presupposition that we have talked about it has arrived yeah I 670 00:59:19.351 --> 00:59:23.961 walked outside ticket some fresh air and I'm like I feel raindrops on my head and 671 00:59:23.971 --> 00:59:30.301 it's it's we now know just the presence of someone was some jackets coming on its 672 00:59:30.341 --> 00:59:35.241 spring weather in Minnesota it's May 3rd but. A little chilly when the sun went 673 00:59:35.251 --> 00:59:39.031 under the clouds rain. Fortunately there's not too much of 674 00:59:39.041 --> 00:59:44.771 a breeze the flags pretty pretty quiet right now and so back at it for the back at 675 00:59:44.781 --> 00:59:49.481 it for the 2nd half here and let's see what we got see if the Wildcats can jump out 676 00:59:49.491 --> 00:59:56.151 and put 3 or 4 quick goals on the board 12 minutes on the clock 71 677 00:59:56.191 --> 01:00:00.831 Wildcats as the. As the Spartans had possession briefly 678 01:00:00.841 --> 01:00:05.851 a big stick check left stick on the ground soaring through all back to man the 679 01:00:05.861 --> 01:00:10.241 steel who's looking looking and trying to clear gets up Gibson was trying to get 680 01:00:10.251 --> 01:00:16.961 the midfield line and as all most and does. Finally gets 681 01:00:16.971 --> 01:00:21.561 free as he did he and get pushed around all over the place you know now he's still 682 01:00:21.571 --> 01:00:22.311 running he's going to need 683 01:00:22.321 --> 01:00:28.871 a little Carroll and will need some help right you know another we talked about Max 684 01:00:28.881 --> 01:00:34.411 making 3 sort athlete call Gibson another one of football hockey the cross so 685 01:00:34.531 --> 01:00:38.741 pretty confident he's in good condition Oh I was saving you get 686 01:00:38.751 --> 01:00:43.381 a while and that was an amazing feat so you got Colbert behind the net trying to 687 01:00:43.391 --> 01:00:44.751 work his way up he kind of gives 688 01:00:44.761 --> 01:00:49.161 a no look and then dishes it right in front of the crease to Scholtz who gave 689 01:00:49.171 --> 01:00:50.391 a head shake and 690 01:00:50.401 --> 01:00:56.031 a shot and the goalie never flinched big huge save. 11 minutes remains we got 691 01:00:56.041 --> 01:00:59.751 a minute clicked off here it's kind of been wild cats for the vast majority of that 692 01:00:59.761 --> 01:01:06.332 minute 71 period 3 and there are plenty of umbrellas out I don't think it's 693 01:01:06.342 --> 01:01:09.982 ferocious by any means but it's just an annoying little thing in my eyes will stay 694 01:01:09.992 --> 01:01:14.082 dry Yeah absolutely walk in his Gibson with it but I believe with 695 01:01:14.092 --> 01:01:17.902 a big shot I was against him with about shot couldn't get it through Nope cats will 696 01:01:17.912 --> 01:01:20.422 maintain looks like Schultz is going to track 697 01:01:20.432 --> 01:01:27.432 a ball down and get us going here again so another so we you know me can get send 698 01:01:27.622 --> 01:01:29.202 Ben will also 699 01:01:29.212 --> 01:01:34.143 a 3 sport athlete I believe he is soccer player in the fall over 10 or reps with 700 01:01:34.153 --> 01:01:40.495 a nice shot there no goal no goal goal because I'm wound up on the outside of the 701 01:01:40.505 --> 01:01:44.745 net not exactly sure what that he go it was going low looking for the try to try to 702 01:01:45.315 --> 01:01:48.915 catch the goal in a vulnerable position so now we talked about 703 01:01:49.355 --> 01:01:53.605 a lot of miscues or lease an abundance of miscues on the part of the Spartans which 704 01:01:53.615 --> 01:01:58.115 may have kind of you know prevented them from getting 705 01:01:58.125 --> 01:02:03.795 a little bit further back into this game at 71 Wildcats will see if they can't you 706 01:02:03.805 --> 01:02:08.525 know kind of thwart some of that in this 3rd quarter and 2nd half as they do 707 01:02:08.535 --> 01:02:15.535 maintain possession trying to set up and here's one of them deals right there 708 01:02:15.545 --> 01:02:16.025 where you get 709 01:02:16.035 --> 01:02:20.215 a given that look big say by Steele I believe maroon with the ground ball back to 710 01:02:20.225 --> 01:02:24.735 steal seals at some good vision and he's out of the crease he's looking he's going 711 01:02:24.745 --> 01:02:28.915 to send that up to one of those poles that's Merwin who fights by little fake pick 712 01:02:28.925 --> 01:02:35.415 by don't leak when looking and goes off to what I believe is whips possibly. Going 713 01:02:35.425 --> 01:02:41.390 to bring it in and he's got some space. You know that one gets and yeah now and 714 01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:43.980 that was a really good shot you know there was a lot of traffic not 715 01:02:43.990 --> 01:02:46.930 a ton but there was traffic in front of the net which had 716 01:02:46.940 --> 01:02:50.560 a guy to the goaltenders right and gave a good look kind of drew the goalie just 717 01:02:50.600 --> 01:02:55.470 a little bit of snow in that way and then opted to keep it shoot score and one 718 01:02:55.580 --> 01:02:57.040 catch whips on 719 01:02:57.050 --> 01:03:01.970 a sissy and he was pulling the defense with him is he right move in and he never 720 01:03:02.450 --> 01:03:06.960 the space never closed down right the space kind of stayed open and you know 721 01:03:07.080 --> 01:03:11.660 talking about creating time and space for yourself again nice look often that's 722 01:03:11.670 --> 01:03:17.680 number 8 for the Wildcats So we're just under 10 minutes here in virtue of heights 723 01:03:17.810 --> 01:03:21.730 kind of across town rival different conference difference action different 724 01:03:21.740 --> 01:03:25.410 districts for that matter same section actually same section Yeah actually we did 725 01:03:25.610 --> 01:03:28.350 we saw them in such a quarter finals last year yeah it's 726 01:03:28.970 --> 01:03:34.520 a weird thing we there again we did what 23 miles away from our school completely 727 01:03:34.530 --> 01:03:35.630 different conference just feels like 728 01:03:35.640 --> 01:03:37.800 a different feels like we're It feels like we're in 729 01:03:37.810 --> 01:03:40.970 a different world right now where we are clearly traveling tonight if you will it 730 01:03:40.980 --> 01:03:45.170 took us all about 5 minutes to get here and I'm not sure what the sense of urgency 731 01:03:45.180 --> 01:03:51.020 is or we got guys. Going to reset play here but this part of the Spartans were 732 01:03:51.030 --> 01:03:55.650 falling back quickly as Wildcats were booking down to get set up that stone up top 733 01:03:55.660 --> 01:04:01.583 I believe and he's trying to get something going close behind that to 734 01:04:02.594 --> 01:04:06.604 Scholtz who. He's going to it's going to have a way or 735 01:04:06.614 --> 01:04:09.634 a sure sign right he got took down that was 736 01:04:09.644 --> 01:04:15.020 a. Pulldown pretty good so speaking of semolina girl fights a bit of 737 01:04:15.030 --> 01:04:21.630 a homecoming for you can yes you're all mater of an 84 grad we did not have turf 738 01:04:21.640 --> 01:04:25.600 back in the eighty's to beautiful facility and if you look around the grounds 739 01:04:25.610 --> 01:04:29.500 behind us are Scott the softball field where they do the field events for track and 740 01:04:29.510 --> 01:04:35.530 the baseball diamond. You know receive make overs at some point in the last near 40 741 01:04:35.540 --> 01:04:39.980 years and they look beautiful facility and they're very lucky to have it so now you 742 01:04:39.990 --> 01:04:43.210 can see the dishes that have been made of all the high school the middle school 743 01:04:43.220 --> 01:04:48.110 a nice looking 8 lane track air feels good to be home it sure does you know we were 744 01:04:48.120 --> 01:04:50.290 here for 7 and 7 for football last year we had 745 01:04:50.300 --> 01:04:56.390 a chance to talk to the Athletic Director of the Spartans will short head. Their 746 01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:00.190 team as we looked like that was Wilson from cold and I have 747 01:05:00.200 --> 01:05:03.810 a lot of Colbert we believe to make it 91 I had 748 01:05:03.820 --> 01:05:07.290 a chance to visit briefly at the halftime with the athletic director it simply 749 01:05:08.090 --> 01:05:13.800 congratulate them on their state tournament wrestling championship this past season 750 01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.460 7 out of the last 10 751 01:05:15.470 --> 01:05:20.810 a pretty historic. Wrestling program here in this these parts so but at the moment 752 01:05:20.820 --> 01:05:25.840 Scott we're starting to create some space on the turf for the Wildcats and you know 753 01:05:25.850 --> 01:05:31.850 again too when you have an opportunity to out personnel someone at some point you 754 01:05:31.860 --> 01:05:36.270 have to take advantage of it and as every next goal kind of trickles in I think 755 01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:37.050 we're going to see 756 01:05:37.610 --> 01:05:42.470 a little little movement and the cats will take that free will take those faceoff 757 01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:48.150 wins I think you're going to see that the cats are going to gain some confidence in 758 01:05:48.160 --> 01:05:51.930 execution they're not going to fire shots from the perimeter I think that the emmel 759 01:05:52.100 --> 01:05:56.110 moving forward is going to be let's see what we can do and how can we make use of 760 01:05:56.120 --> 01:06:01.630 what we do tonight next week and the week after which as we know and we'll get to 761 01:06:01.640 --> 01:06:05.570 later in the broadcast are busy weeks for the while get very busy as we get down 762 01:06:05.580 --> 01:06:08.360 the stretch air of unforced error there may be 763 01:06:08.370 --> 01:06:11.560 a little minor miscue back to the goaltender for the Spartans who's had 764 01:06:11.570 --> 01:06:18.410 a fantastic night. The senior Sivert since I believe his last name yeah 765 01:06:18.420 --> 01:06:22.210 you're Severson he's had a great night big he's you know 766 01:06:22.220 --> 01:06:26.980 a 5th. You know although if it's 91 it might sound 767 01:06:26.990 --> 01:06:31.070 a little crazy here we're talking about the goalie on the short end of that 91 kind 768 01:06:31.080 --> 01:06:35.740 of being the driving force the game if if he wasn't playing up to the level he is 769 01:06:35.750 --> 01:06:40.100 playing at tonight it's 170 and you think 1617 when he's had 770 01:06:40.110 --> 01:06:45.700 a dozen quality shots stopped so good for him he's out of fantastic night 771 01:06:46.680 --> 01:06:53.440 Spartans being tamed possession here and are trying to set up so I think with the. 772 01:06:54.940 --> 01:06:58.310 8 goal lead it's getting probably to the point where it's going to be 773 01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:02.642 a true challenge for them to come back and I think what the Spartans work on is 774 01:07:02.652 --> 01:07:07.182 akin just focus on those fundamentals let's catch let's pass let's not drop the 775 01:07:07.192 --> 01:07:13.684 ball and see if we can make something happen from there and fix Billy to flee 776 01:07:14.024 --> 01:07:20.354 with the ball from stealing and you big kid probably 65. So it doesn't 777 01:07:21.014 --> 01:07:25.994 long strides but still you know it doesn't knock it out run too many people saw 778 01:07:26.004 --> 01:07:28.314 a quick dish offie to get it back at the top here as 779 01:07:28.324 --> 01:07:31.154 a Spartan little personal change and reset. 780 01:07:37.430 --> 01:07:40.700 We're not the 7 minute mark here as Wilson drops 781 01:07:40.710 --> 01:07:43.460 a shoulder and tries to create some space big shot that's 782 01:07:43.470 --> 01:07:48.070 a rocket shot as it's got Yeah that is that on that play Yeah I don't I I don't 783 01:07:48.080 --> 01:07:51.480 know if the goalie saw the ball to be honest that's one of them ones where you 784 01:07:51.490 --> 01:07:51.840 don't have 785 01:07:51.850 --> 01:07:55.580 a lot of chance because as Wilson search you approach the net and drops at right 786 01:07:55.590 --> 01:07:58.960 shoulder to get underneath that defender you don't know when he's going to pull 787 01:07:58.970 --> 01:08:00.360 that trigger knowing it's going to be 788 01:08:00.370 --> 01:08:04.830 a low shot or an upper corner shot and the shots released fast not only is the 789 01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:09.830 Veloce so the velocity of the shot is fast it's the release out of the pocket of 790 01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:13.320 the stick and it's hard to pick up a middle and you know what this is 791 01:08:13.330 --> 01:08:14.530 a time of night where you get 792 01:08:14.540 --> 01:08:18.900 a little while 8 and you get differing angles of light and you know it there's 793 01:08:18.910 --> 01:08:19.360 probably about 794 01:08:19.370 --> 01:08:22.480 a 20 minute period here where it can be really difficult to see that ball you 795 01:08:22.490 --> 01:08:26.500 either want full daylight or full darkness with STATE OF THE LIGHTS Yeah exactly 796 01:08:26.510 --> 01:08:31.990 yeah so we're kind of caught in the gray zone here 11 cats just under 7 minutes 3rd 797 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:35.970 quarter bros are starting to kind of go away there's 798 01:08:35.980 --> 01:08:39.830 a few that are still out in case something happens again one of those kind of 799 01:08:39.870 --> 01:08:46.791 elongated face offs where both guys are clamping down nicely. It feels 800 01:08:46.801 --> 01:08:51.121 like we've made some progress on the face off tonight again not clean wins but 801 01:08:51.391 --> 01:08:55.271 slowing things down like we talked about earlier castling things down letting our 802 01:08:55.281 --> 01:08:59.421 guys come in and help battle for those ground balls so. 803 01:09:02.223 --> 01:09:05.713 Let's see if that continues for the duration of this game and into next week that 804 01:09:05.723 --> 01:09:05.983 would be 805 01:09:05.993 --> 01:09:11.645 a big step forward for this team I think counter-measures had as much success as 806 01:09:11.655 --> 01:09:18.475 anyone as far as just slowing things down to the point of being able to. 807 01:09:19.900 --> 01:09:20.070 There's 808 01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:25.490 a helmet shot to the pole bring in an operating table to dump it over to Thompson 809 01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:30.930 Thompson off the ball or so from Sorenson Sorenson someone off the post Colbert 810 01:09:30.940 --> 01:09:34.710 trying to regain possession find his whistle dead I think there's 811 01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:40.060 a couple of infractions that potentially could have been called but we'll see why 812 01:09:40.070 --> 01:09:42.430 the stoppage occurred think it's going to be 813 01:09:42.440 --> 01:09:48.590 a plush slash OK And suddenly that was the one that occurred back here where I was 814 01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:50.410 what occurred up. In 815 01:09:50.420 --> 01:09:54.330 a payday Yeah I don't want to the helmet across the hall yeah yeah yeah I was down 816 01:09:54.340 --> 01:09:56.320 here so it must yeah that make sense was there and took 817 01:09:56.330 --> 01:10:01.730 a blow to the head and play went on clearly because that's how it's done nowadays 818 01:10:02.570 --> 01:10:09.050 and then the ball at the turf and we stop like 6 minutes remaining quarter 311 cats 819 01:10:10.050 --> 01:10:14.640 could see some things are nice man up solo you know we'd like to see if we can 820 01:10:14.650 --> 01:10:16.900 capitalize in and I think we're already seeing 821 01:10:17.180 --> 01:10:22.130 a few more passes than we had when we were man down and trying and somehow got 822 01:10:22.140 --> 01:10:26.931 possession in the Spartans and. Pretty patient on 823 01:10:26.941 --> 01:10:30.751 a shot there from inside by Gibson I believe from Colbert it's 824 01:10:30.761 --> 01:10:35.161 a good you know what we've. Seen some good things so far from the can man up 825 01:10:35.171 --> 01:10:40.191 situation Chris Paul movement it's fast they get good sling shots nice rep there by 826 01:10:40.201 --> 01:10:46.731 Jack Stone great great shot and again to it you know we talk about. The shot from 827 01:10:46.741 --> 01:10:49.841 the fire perimeter in an instance like that there is 828 01:10:49.851 --> 01:10:54.271 a lot of traffic between the goaltender and the man shooting it can create 829 01:10:54.281 --> 01:10:57.731 a lot of difficulty in picking that ball up so if you can rip 830 01:10:57.741 --> 01:11:01.381 a shot on on net Yeah you've It's 831 01:11:01.391 --> 01:11:05.991 a high percentage shot under under some circumstances clearly so yeah it especially 832 01:11:06.001 --> 01:11:08.681 in all the coaches talk about the top side shot right there's 833 01:11:08.691 --> 01:11:13.401 a certain angles on the field where there's high percentage shots where you know in 834 01:11:13.411 --> 01:11:16.121 some cases coaches had These are the spots I want you to shoot from and if you're 835 01:11:16.131 --> 01:11:20.191 not here you don't shoot that's one of those top side high percentage shots right 836 01:11:20.771 --> 01:11:24.431 even though you're 20 yards away but Stone had a had 837 01:11:24.441 --> 01:11:30.021 a shooting lane to us to get that through so we're $111.00 here we're creeping 838 01:11:30.031 --> 01:11:34.571 towards that running time situation here we have to get to 12 I believe. 839 01:11:36.251 --> 01:11:43.241 541 remaining in the 3rd right now so we have had some running time games 840 01:11:43.251 --> 01:11:49.991 recently. Stoppage of play I would assume time up by the Spartans 841 01:11:50.721 --> 01:11:57.281 maybe trying to regroup. And just say hey you know guys we stayed in it for an 842 01:11:57.291 --> 01:12:01.551 extended period of time I think everyone you know 843 01:12:01.561 --> 01:12:04.881 a lot of people may have been able to see the writing on the wall that if we're 844 01:12:04.891 --> 01:12:07.711 able to set up kind of do our thing there's 845 01:12:07.721 --> 01:12:14.011 a good chance that we were going to you know maybe go up by 78910 grazers soul and 846 01:12:14.021 --> 01:12:19.101 back in the face off circle and looks like that might be Robbie Otto. Who's going 847 01:12:19.111 --> 01:12:25.091 to get down on the ground here against number 2 for the Spartans and. 848 01:12:26.121 --> 01:12:32.931 Jacob Hagman and see how we fare so I think what's developing here is we talked. 849 01:12:33.041 --> 01:12:38.111 About that 7th call right before half time by Jack Stone It feels like it kind of 850 01:12:38.121 --> 01:12:42.531 broke things open it really broke the back of the Spartans and it's been all you 851 01:12:42.541 --> 01:12:45.201 can sense then that's just a tough blow go on and 852 01:12:45.211 --> 01:12:48.691 a half time right where you you think you have to under control and suddenly you 853 01:12:48.701 --> 01:12:53.211 don't. Momentum clearly isn't Favre there was 854 01:12:53.221 --> 01:12:57.301 a little burst of energy by the Spartans in the 2nd quarter but even looks to be 855 01:12:57.311 --> 01:13:00.851 fully in control of this game at this point with were approaching the 5 minute mark 856 01:13:00.861 --> 01:13:07.704 of the 3rd quarter miser kind of doubled back and. Wildcats 857 01:13:07.714 --> 01:13:07.894 had 858 01:13:07.904 --> 01:13:15.131 a little trouble getting the ball across the center line. Clearing 859 01:13:15.141 --> 01:13:20.291 passible Hi I think I had it when I seen Schultz get that high in the air Wow wide 860 01:13:20.301 --> 01:13:26.781 open Colbert kind of had his opportunity Ryan Colbert to kind of pick his shot 861 01:13:27.571 --> 01:13:30.801 from Schultz Yeah he did he got 862 01:13:30.811 --> 01:13:34.991 a little wide on the fence of right hand side and had some green grass or some 863 01:13:35.001 --> 01:13:38.611 green turf to work with and was able to get the goalie held throws get 864 01:13:38.621 --> 01:13:43.861 a quick shot there and then add another goal for the Wildcats over $121.00 Wildcats 865 01:13:44.031 --> 01:13:49.531 just under 5 minutes remaining period 3. You know the cats just need to keep doing 866 01:13:49.541 --> 01:13:53.371 what they're doing and again I think in the backs of the minds of the coaching 867 01:13:53.381 --> 01:13:58.061 staff down on the side of the sideline is you know how can we make this 868 01:13:58.071 --> 01:14:02.021 a productive opportunity and not just go out there and play with cross right to 869 01:14:02.031 --> 01:14:06.841 kind of take it looks and see how people are responding and again to at the halfway 870 01:14:06.851 --> 01:14:12.211 point of the season faceoff when Robbie Otto kind of a tertiary win but 871 01:14:12.221 --> 01:14:18.681 a win just the same. How do we respond to being you know one nothing 872 01:14:18.941 --> 01:14:24.181 61 and you know how do we handle larger leads in this team so trying to find its 873 01:14:24.191 --> 01:14:26.241 footing like a lot of them are yeah yeah we're 874 01:14:26.431 --> 01:14:29.401 a boy well we need to get to that in 875 01:14:29.411 --> 01:14:33.601 a couple 3 or 4 minutes before we got there tonight there's chaos going on all 876 01:14:33.611 --> 01:14:39.161 around the lacrosse world in Minnesota that shot that was was that Wilson and that 877 01:14:39.171 --> 01:14:44.271 was Wilson and not probably unassisted and a flag down we're going to have 878 01:14:45.001 --> 01:14:50.922 a Spartan. Oh wait 879 01:14:50.932 --> 01:14:57.162 a minute I made their way of the go our. Own away 5 OK who are white 5 slash I 880 01:14:57.172 --> 01:15:01.792 thought or what word it was unassisted I believe Drew Wilson on assisted I mean 881 01:15:01.832 --> 01:15:07.482 slash on number 5 for the Spartans and he'll take 882 01:15:07.492 --> 01:15:11.532 a breather this time tough in the poll of the senior poll for 883 01:15:11.632 --> 01:15:18.170 a simile so. There's 884 01:15:18.180 --> 01:15:23.010 a lot going on in the we call the Twin Cities lacrosse world I'm focused on the 885 01:15:23.020 --> 01:15:28.110 south suburban conference you know just when you hear about the halfway mark of the 886 01:15:28.120 --> 01:15:28.990 regular season think you got 887 01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:34.740 a feel for how the land is looking how the real estate looks at everything just 888 01:15:34.750 --> 01:15:40.090 gets mixed up in the last you know. 48 to 72 hours. 889 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:45.160 We've got 6 teams that look like they want to make 890 01:15:45.170 --> 01:15:50.120 a run at this conference title and. You know I think everybody hears us talk about 891 01:15:50.130 --> 01:15:52.880 the depth of the south suburban conference and maybe you can accuse us 892 01:15:52.890 --> 01:15:57.590 a little bit of some Homer ism but it's like look across the board there's more of 893 01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:03.011 our teams in the top 10. You start looking at who are 5th and 6th place team could 894 01:16:03.021 --> 01:16:05.081 be potentially. Not 895 01:16:05.091 --> 01:16:10.073 a knock on the some just saying potentially they could be 4th 5th 3rd if you put 896 01:16:10.083 --> 01:16:10.743 them up against 897 01:16:10.863 --> 01:16:14.823 a 3rd 4th or 5th place team from any other conference in the state they destroyed 898 01:16:14.833 --> 01:16:19.033 them have right I mean the depth in this conference is incredible there's wrong 899 01:16:19.113 --> 01:16:25.985 there's you know. You can Prior Lake north Rosemount now you've got to talk 900 01:16:25.995 --> 01:16:30.455 about Lakeville south you got to talk about Shockey and I'll tell you why chalk up 901 01:16:30.465 --> 01:16:34.245 the loss to north by one goal on Tuesday they beat South by 902 01:16:34.255 --> 01:16:38.675 a goal last night they arrive they've announced their intention to be competitive 903 01:16:39.055 --> 01:16:45.226 East few north of this week 12 to 7 so this thing's kind up for grabs really 904 01:16:46.236 --> 01:16:50.306 there's some great great lacrosse and we're going to see some really fun lacrosse 905 01:16:50.316 --> 01:16:54.508 in the next 2 and a half weeks and well you sometimes wish you had 906 01:16:54.518 --> 01:16:55.578 a little easier path to 907 01:16:55.588 --> 01:17:01.348 a conference title boy that level of competition is top notch and it is exciting to 908 01:17:01.358 --> 01:17:06.358 watch there are some good teams 7 teams that are pretty solid and some great 909 01:17:06.368 --> 01:17:11.380 players that we have in this conference so he would have us all. Good how so by 910 01:17:11.390 --> 01:17:13.140 steel to get 911 01:17:13.150 --> 01:17:16.930 a stick out and get position back for the cats you're exactly right in that 912 01:17:16.940 --> 01:17:20.980 conference championships important but when you look at that wildcat schedule over 913 01:17:20.990 --> 01:17:24.200 the next 2 weeks to talk about a primer for 914 01:17:24.210 --> 01:17:29.380 a section tournament you know you're right in the meteor schedule and you're going 915 01:17:29.390 --> 01:17:34.970 to your face and kind of the best of the past yeah yeah I mean.

Of Spenser's darkie entering the game 929 01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:50.160 on the long stick for the Wildcats another one of the benefits of having 930 01:18:50.170 --> 01:18:53.080 a commanding lead is that you do get an opportunity to get 931 01:18:53.090 --> 01:18:58.900 a lot of legs on the ground looks like we have kicked in the run time as well like 932 01:18:58.910 --> 01:18:59.480 to give 933 01:18:59.520 --> 01:19:06.880 a shout out.

Kind of 942 01:19:47.210 --> 01:19:53.110 getting an opportunity to do our thing as Wilson uncorks one gets at all just 943 01:19:53.120 --> 01:20:00.080 before the horn $151.00 cats were going to be in running time now most 944 01:20:00.120 --> 01:20:05.680 likely for the balance of the game 3 quarters in the book Sky It took 945 01:20:05.720 --> 01:20:10.830 a quarter or so wished for the Wildcats to kind of start playing on 946 01:20:10.840 --> 01:20:15.120 a level that you would expect them against the competition again we got some great 947 01:20:15.130 --> 01:20:19.260 players on the Spartan side the goaltender and their kind of smattered all over but 948 01:20:19.270 --> 01:20:24.120 again 22 programs kind of in 2 different places right now right and it is similar 949 01:20:24.130 --> 01:20:28.250 to we talked in the Farmington game farms and started to look tired after 950 01:20:28.260 --> 01:20:32.240 a while. And I'm seeing some of the same thing with Sam Lee right in addition to 951 01:20:32.250 --> 01:20:35.580 some of the unforced errors they just look tired it's like you've been chasing this 952 01:20:35.590 --> 01:20:39.430 team around and you're trying you've got to worry about everybody on the field and 953 01:20:39.440 --> 01:20:42.400 it physically wears on you and it mentally wears on and what you're seeing now is 954 01:20:42.410 --> 01:20:43.950 just it's a physical and 955 01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:47.560 a mental collapse and we're going to go to running time and kind of the culmination 956 01:20:47.570 --> 01:20:49.790 of those stressors and again to like you said that's 957 01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:51.940 a valid point we're deep we have 958 01:20:51.950 --> 01:20:56.340 a lot to worry about sold it's one thing if you're a couple deep here 959 01:20:56.350 --> 01:21:01.800 a couple deep there the Wildcats have an answer for about every type of scheme that 960 01:21:01.810 --> 01:21:06.580 can be thrown its way you shut down Wilson you've got stone and company and you 961 01:21:06.590 --> 01:21:10.090 shut down stone and you've got to shoulder so that if this goes on and on and on 962 01:21:10.310 --> 01:21:15.040 and I think that level of depth will will all forward us the luxury of keeping 963 01:21:15.050 --> 01:21:20.120 games close we were very very evenly matched and again we're situations where the 964 01:21:20.130 --> 01:21:25.710 personal advantages Eagan we can finally get our foot you know firmly on the gas 965 01:21:25.890 --> 01:21:31.140 and kind of drive this big blue train home yeah we can and you know those we you 966 01:21:31.150 --> 01:21:38.101 know we can what. One of the things we can do here we got had some 967 01:21:38.111 --> 01:21:41.111 themes from early in the season. Is 968 01:21:41.121 --> 01:21:45.031 a good time to look back at what we talked about can we find consistent and 969 01:21:45.041 --> 01:21:48.391 reliable scoring that was something we talked about in our 1st telecast against 970 01:21:48.401 --> 01:21:54.783 Chanhassen And you know we were thinking hey we think we got 2 or 3 who are some of 971 01:21:54.793 --> 01:22:00.201 the other people that are going to fill in so. You know Wilson is not disappointed 972 01:22:00.211 --> 01:22:04.861 Schultes state assistant leader at least at the start of this game are tied with 973 01:22:04.871 --> 01:22:10.331 states this leader. Wilson number 5 or so in goal scored. 974 01:22:11.561 --> 01:22:15.931 Stone contributing a lot of goals and assess. And we said OK we need 975 01:22:15.941 --> 01:22:19.661 a 2nd 3 set of people that can be relied upon to and be 976 01:22:19.671 --> 01:22:25.051 a threat Tanner weps Ryan Colbert Cole Gibson have kind of emerged as that 2nd 977 01:22:25.061 --> 01:22:31.131 group of 3. Their play will be critical down the stretch and if there's another one 978 01:22:31.141 --> 01:22:34.361 or 2 out there that could do that that would make this team even more dangerous 979 01:22:34.661 --> 01:22:39.801 clearly and you know what because of some of the early games we played that were 980 01:22:39.811 --> 01:22:42.061 close and tight our defensive group got 981 01:22:42.071 --> 01:22:47.540 a lot of work and you know. Faceoffs was our number one concern I don't think we 982 01:22:47.550 --> 01:22:48.980 have that although things have looked 983 01:22:48.990 --> 01:22:54.240 a lot better tonight we don't have that resolved we haven't on the 1st telecast we 984 01:22:54.250 --> 01:22:58.340 lead off with somebody other than Jack Currington is going to be playing goalie I 985 01:22:58.350 --> 01:23:01.740 don't think we've once mentioned concern about the goalie play and that's 986 01:23:01.750 --> 01:23:03.300 a testament to Zach Wallach that's 987 01:23:03.310 --> 01:23:07.730 a testament to Manny Steele. At some point Coach falters got 988 01:23:07.740 --> 01:23:10.850 a hard decision to make if he's going to make it or maybe they're going to split 989 01:23:10.860 --> 01:23:14.480 and we don't know I'm glad I don't have to make that decision or say we just come 990 01:23:14.490 --> 01:23:16.720 up here and talk about the game we don't have to do the hard work it's 991 01:23:16.730 --> 01:23:20.710 a good problem to have Yeah I have 2 guys that you want to go with the hot hand but 992 01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:24.620 right now they're both see in the ball well they're able to spell each other and 993 01:23:24.630 --> 01:23:29.200 heaven forbid someone gets nicked up you don't be pushed the panic button you've 994 01:23:29.210 --> 01:23:32.860 got 2 guys that have got played well and they've gotten 995 01:23:33.020 --> 01:23:38.410 a real game time type experience and there's my 0 again with that long they might 996 01:23:38.420 --> 01:23:41.310 want to measure his stick because I tell you I guess 997 01:23:41.320 --> 01:23:46.960 a he gets it way way out and maybe he's got excessively long arms but he has had 998 01:23:46.970 --> 01:23:52.330 that head of that stick in some of the most undesirable places for the Spartans 999 01:23:52.340 --> 01:23:54.820 tonight as he's probably broken up a half 1000 01:23:54.830 --> 01:23:59.830 a dozen How easily maybe Mizen or construction side an extra couple inches on the 1001 01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:04.780 end of the shaft ends entirely Don't you know if we check the baskets of the stick 1002 01:24:04.790 --> 01:24:09.450 but we haven't measured that oh yeah whatever check that out you know I supplied 1003 01:24:09.460 --> 01:24:13.840 you for the for the miser construction people and they may be in the business of 1004 01:24:13.850 --> 01:24:18.000 making those sticks longer because it's clearly looking like that could be the case 1005 01:24:18.370 --> 01:24:25.340 with Tommy stick tonight so 151 Wildcats right up to 10 minute remaining mark 1006 01:24:25.640 --> 01:24:30.901 as it looked like is. Will or either took 1007 01:24:30.911 --> 01:24:34.831 a shot kind of got his own rebound and then kind of stumble behind the net there's 1008 01:24:34.841 --> 01:24:39.641 a scrum to the goaltenders right even comes up with it looks like that might be 1009 01:24:39.731 --> 01:24:45.891 Sorenson taking it back up top. We're running time whole he's 1010 01:24:46.831 --> 01:24:47.991 a nice I.X. 1011 01:24:48.111 --> 01:24:51.681 Stick I'll leave stick to the foot Let's hope Pete just has 1012 01:24:51.691 --> 01:24:56.171 a whack in the For Yeah it looks like he's going to kind of walk it off yeah it's. 1013 01:24:57.611 --> 01:25:00.591 Always a little concerning when you get a guy that kind of has to have 1014 01:25:00.601 --> 01:25:04.851 a hop and he's in a little pain let's hope it was just 1015 01:25:04.861 --> 01:25:09.921 a whack across the top of the foot and there's no broken bones it doesn't make it 1016 01:25:09.931 --> 01:25:13.751 feel any better right now but he'll probably shake it off but yeah it does hurt and 1017 01:25:13.761 --> 01:25:17.771 he's getting some support from his teammates down there as he might loosen the 1018 01:25:17.781 --> 01:25:20.851 laces up on that cleat take a look around he's 1019 01:25:20.861 --> 01:25:27.571 a Sorenson he's Toffy lock it off right I think that can be the case so cats go man 1020 01:25:27.581 --> 01:25:33.381 up and they'll probably wind up being pretty selective with their opportunity which 1021 01:25:33.391 --> 01:25:35.371 they call her give a good look and probably 1022 01:25:35.381 --> 01:25:39.351 a big save another big save you know he kicked it out to his right and he got 1023 01:25:39.361 --> 01:25:43.271 a pole that's going to gain the midfield line running up the ice who were driven 1024 01:25:43.281 --> 01:25:49.811 out by. Who's given him just fits over there he was able to clear it but again 1025 01:25:50.441 --> 01:25:52.971 just being harassed and I was not able to get 1026 01:25:52.981 --> 01:25:58.031 a good clearing pass and don't we all scoop it up and get us started here with 830 1027 01:25:58.341 --> 01:26:03.831 remaining quarter for 151 cats so Monday night Lakeville North. 1028 01:26:05.281 --> 01:26:10.451 Every match up is big now but this one you know I think the players the fans kind 1029 01:26:10.461 --> 01:26:15.681 of looking forward this I would fully expect that the Panthers from that was that 1030 01:26:15.691 --> 01:26:21.940 Wilson again. Through Wilson Oh yeah I don't know that we. I kind of step back 1031 01:26:21.950 --> 01:26:22.260 behind 1032 01:26:22.270 --> 01:26:27.310 a sightline obstruct or you know you bring up Lakeville north we we did forecast 1033 01:26:27.320 --> 01:26:27.520 ahead 1034 01:26:27.530 --> 01:26:32.480 a little bit in our Tuesday game but we did not want to look past the Spartans because 1035 01:26:32.490 --> 01:26:36.440 no no no they're out here and I as I look across and Scott you can probably catch 1036 01:26:36.450 --> 01:26:41.290 it to look at the rain is actually visibly falling it's light it still isn't coming 1037 01:26:41.300 --> 01:26:46.890 down don't look come towards the lights over that standard Yeah yeah yeah but I do 1038 01:26:46.900 --> 01:26:51.860 think the time is right now to mention where we're going to be on Monday night and 1039 01:26:52.380 --> 01:26:58.770 keys to that game Scott since we've brought up with $161.00 cats 729 remaining They 1040 01:26:59.660 --> 01:26:59.870 they're 1041 01:26:59.880 --> 01:27:05.911 a solid team they've played it and yeah did they did they did they they lose 1042 01:27:05.921 --> 01:27:10.891 a game maybe they should've won sure they are solid offensively they're smart 1043 01:27:10.901 --> 01:27:13.681 disciplined defense all through the middle they're there they're 1044 01:27:13.691 --> 01:27:16.671 a good quality team. They're going to be 1045 01:27:16.681 --> 01:27:21.682 a tough match up there they don't have. You know don't have 1046 01:27:21.692 --> 01:27:27.322 a Qadri of the superstars that maybe have an elder has but they're solid by certain 1047 01:27:27.332 --> 01:27:31.822 solid. It's going to be a competitive game they're a good team they're 1048 01:27:31.832 --> 01:27:36.132 a really good team and it's going to be a big test for the Wildcats in 1049 01:27:36.142 --> 01:27:40.112 a big game in the south suburban college is going to say it's one thing as you're 1050 01:27:40.122 --> 01:27:44.082 starting to wind down in that you'll get that 2nd half of the season started start 1051 01:27:44.092 --> 01:27:47.892 to think Section seedings and section play it is 1052 01:27:47.902 --> 01:27:53.182 a huge game in the saucer retired so that is another piece of the puzzle but yes 1053 01:27:53.192 --> 01:27:57.862 clearly they'll give us one of our finest looks so far this season and if the cats 1054 01:27:57.872 --> 01:28:00.072 answer the bell it's going to be 1055 01:28:00.082 --> 01:28:04.792 a gigantic accomplishment we have every confidence that they will and that game is 1056 01:28:04.802 --> 01:28:09.742 just you know it is just 48 hours away from now and it could be very very exciting 1057 01:28:09.752 --> 01:28:14.990 yeah yeah I think Boy we're going to be talking about. Faceoffs again Monday night 1058 01:28:15.270 --> 01:28:17.910 for it so but that's OK I guess that we've got 1059 01:28:17.920 --> 01:28:21.890 a bit of an answer for that that's perseverance just you know other aspects of the 1060 01:28:21.900 --> 01:28:25.970 game are going to have to backfill for that slight deficiency right now until that 1061 01:28:25.980 --> 01:28:30.910 finds its level and 11 concern you know so they place that they play St Thomas 1062 01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:32.540 tomorrow so that's 1063 01:28:32.550 --> 01:28:37.660 a big game for St Thomas big game for North they want to kind of shake off. Shake 1064 01:28:37.670 --> 01:28:37.980 off 1065 01:28:38.100 --> 01:28:43.320 a recent loss. To East view right they probably thought they should've won that game 1066 01:28:44.010 --> 01:28:44.520 and then they got 1067 01:28:44.530 --> 01:28:49.680 a good comeback for us 2 days later for the Wildcats you know the last 2 games you 1068 01:28:49.690 --> 01:28:55.500 get 816182322 the challenges. You've got to get out of the mode of 1069 01:28:55.510 --> 01:28:59.630 a game like this because you have slowed down you maybe aren't at 100 percent and 1070 01:28:59.640 --> 01:29:03.130 I'm not questioning the players' efforts and I'm say uses it's human nature you're 1071 01:29:03.140 --> 01:29:04.750 going to dial it down a little bit we don't get 1072 01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:09.590 a lead like this you've got to go back to 100 percent and stay there and be there 1073 01:29:09.600 --> 01:29:13.220 in a risk is that like the large coming off of a probably 1074 01:29:13.230 --> 01:29:17.480 a competitive game they're there they're ready and you've got to dial yourself back 1075 01:29:17.490 --> 01:29:21.590 up to be at that level of performance that you need to beat it to compete with 1076 01:29:21.600 --> 01:29:26.930 a team like that nice shot of say by Steele as the Spartans were kind of applying 1077 01:29:26.940 --> 01:29:27.890 a little pressure and he got 1078 01:29:27.900 --> 01:29:32.100 a good look steeled on his knees made the save kind of had 1079 01:29:32.110 --> 01:29:38.010 a look between his between his calves or as legs to find the ball which was safely 1080 01:29:38.500 --> 01:29:45.090 placed underneath him we're under 5 minutes now 446001 cats 1081 01:29:45.680 --> 01:29:51.410 over here is Scott can and our good friends Nick and Aaron from Egon T.V. 1082 01:29:51.420 --> 01:29:56.370 Helping out tonight we are warm and dry certainly dry and not too bad the temps 1083 01:29:56.380 --> 01:30:00.670 held the night nicely Yeah it has and we and we should be good I don't know the 1084 01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:04.520 forecast for Monday's contest and that's 1085 01:30:04.530 --> 01:30:08.700 a factor you know that's part of the equation is it going to be one of them 1086 01:30:08.710 --> 01:30:10.480 situations it creates you know 1087 01:30:10.490 --> 01:30:15.610 a little bit more parity than there may already be but I like your analogy of 1088 01:30:16.470 --> 01:30:22.870 a big game for the Panthers tomorrow. A competitive game and we're coming off 1089 01:30:22.880 --> 01:30:24.840 a couple games where we were able to shift into 1090 01:30:24.850 --> 01:30:30.080 a different mode we need to be ready to go on Monday and I clearly believe that we 1091 01:30:30.090 --> 01:30:32.750 will be yeah and it's you know we talk 1092 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:37.220 a bit ready to go on Monday and I think I look you know we look down the palace of 1093 01:30:37.230 --> 01:30:38.940 the schedule and are there 1094 01:30:38.950 --> 01:30:42.690 a couple bigger games and others but I think if you're not ready to go for any one 1095 01:30:42.700 --> 01:30:44.730 of those games you know it's 1096 01:30:44.740 --> 01:30:48.510 a loss where the house but always has Aster Yeah there are some big ones we're not 1097 01:30:49.490 --> 01:30:55.651 a we would be like awesome if we ran the table have a 12 on one. It's 1098 01:30:55.661 --> 01:30:59.951 a tough schedule you might hit a bump or 2 and that's OK if you learn from 1099 01:30:59.961 --> 01:31:04.101 a girl from make some adjustments it's all about the section playoffs that start on 1100 01:31:04.111 --> 01:31:10.781 May 31st. Agreed I think we all know that it is it is peaking at the right time in 1101 01:31:10.791 --> 01:31:16.141 any sport are we preparing for that section Turman every time we take the field 1102 01:31:16.151 --> 01:31:20.751 Absolutely but it is about peaking at the right time and the cats are doing 1103 01:31:20.761 --> 01:31:25.631 a lot of things right there are some fundamental things and some personal things 1104 01:31:25.641 --> 01:31:28.981 that we are going to have to continue to work out will the be 1105 01:31:28.991 --> 01:31:33.721 a little more prominent under some circumstances absolutely yet have we found the 1106 01:31:33.731 --> 01:31:38.241 answer for some of those things and when we say some of those things we will talk 1107 01:31:38.251 --> 01:31:43.411 about our our Face-Off by committee right now we're we're taking advantage of our 1108 01:31:43.421 --> 01:31:48.721 facile Assam's we're taking advantage of of you know being tenacious in the circle 1109 01:31:49.521 --> 01:31:52.091 and so far. We've we've had 1110 01:31:52.101 --> 01:31:56.291 a much better out in the last couple with regard to that so yeah yeah it's 1111 01:31:56.301 --> 01:32:00.941 a you know in the goal is to come together and you know we talked about this phase 1112 01:32:00.951 --> 01:32:03.401 of the schedule like did advantage of it is with 1113 01:32:03.411 --> 01:32:07.341 a young team we talked about all those new players coming up at varsity experience 1114 01:32:07.351 --> 01:32:12.013 that when you have a game like this an Apple Valley a Farmington 1115 01:32:12.023 --> 01:32:16.526 a Burnsville you get a chance to work some of those kinks out right and get 1116 01:32:16.536 --> 01:32:21.626 a chance to get to see what people can do solve some problems now it's now it's 1117 01:32:21.636 --> 01:32:26.146 game time right now it's time to put it all all to work but you know for us to go 1118 01:32:26.156 --> 01:32:31.416 down this list of the you know themes faceoff possession goalie defense finding 1119 01:32:31.426 --> 01:32:36.331 consistent scoring. We're moving in the right direction on 4 of them and I think we 1120 01:32:36.341 --> 01:32:39.191 are the face off so we've seen some progress and it's going to come it's going to 1121 01:32:39.201 --> 01:32:40.481 happen it just takes 1122 01:32:40.491 --> 01:32:44.751 a little longer I wish I had her mayster in there tonight yet he had some wild 1123 01:32:44.761 --> 01:32:50.821 success he was clamped down battling in the circle cats are back at full strength 1124 01:32:50.831 --> 01:32:57.631 we're well under 2 minutes now 134 remaining 171 with that goal was Jack 1125 01:32:57.641 --> 01:33:04.573 Thompson he was Thompson Yep and number 23 Jackie 1126 01:33:04.583 --> 01:33:08.513 Hobson with the goal I don't recall if there was in the system you know I was I was 1127 01:33:08.693 --> 01:33:15.543 I didn't hear or see one but that doesn't necessarily so 171 cats and we're 1128 01:33:15.553 --> 01:33:20.283 at the one minute mark here as we kind of wind down both this game and this 1129 01:33:20.293 --> 01:33:25.303 broadcast and again to I think you know you don't want to get out of your lane here 1130 01:33:25.313 --> 01:33:30.193 but when we came into the booth tonight we were thinking that this could very well 1131 01:33:30.203 --> 01:33:30.623 have been 1132 01:33:30.633 --> 01:33:37.063 a conceivable outcome but again to you know the Spartans did what they needed to do 1133 01:33:37.073 --> 01:33:38.903 and the game plan for 1134 01:33:38.913 --> 01:33:44.633 a lot of teams is to take the ball away from the Wildcats you know we can score 1135 01:33:44.643 --> 01:33:50.545 faceoff when they're 4. That was Patrick Ryan that was our freshman Patrick Graham 1136 01:33:50.555 --> 01:33:56.375 and dumps one off to Ryan Colbert who fires one just to the right of the goaltender 1137 01:33:56.385 --> 01:33:57.025 with a half 1138 01:33:57.035 --> 01:34:01.785 a minute remaining slow the game down trying to control possession and it kept the 1139 01:34:01.795 --> 01:34:07.167 Spartans respectably in the game for quite a while. Shot sails 1140 01:34:07.177 --> 01:34:11.747 a little high and that was going to effectively just about do it with 15 seconds 1141 01:34:11.757 --> 01:34:18.257 remaining number 2 Ryan Colbert digs it out of the soccer net and he's going to try 1142 01:34:18.267 --> 01:34:24.600 to. So out of one last shot I don't know if it connected that pass with 32 and one 1143 01:34:24.610 --> 01:34:30.810 horn and I'll do it and that's going to do it for tonight's broadcast in our 1144 01:34:31.740 --> 01:34:36.210 look Cross contests Wildcats feeling pretty good again it wasn't just 1145 01:34:36.220 --> 01:34:36.980 a win but it was 1146 01:34:36.990 --> 01:34:42.260 a decisive win so we clearly took care of business in the kind of fashion I think 1147 01:34:42.270 --> 01:34:44.170 that you need to against 1148 01:34:44.210 --> 01:34:49.560 a team like the Spartans you don't want to come out here and when you know for goal 1149 01:34:49.570 --> 01:34:54.260 game you know 12 years on going on and not heading into a weekend of reflection 1150 01:34:54.430 --> 01:34:56.760 a weekend of preparation and ultimately 1151 01:34:56.770 --> 01:35:01.370 a big huge game 1st of many for the Wildcats starting on Monday against Panthers 1152 01:35:01.380 --> 01:35:07.410 Yeah absolutely yeah. This is the result you wanted right you can really get it hey 1153 01:35:07.420 --> 01:35:09.000 we get a chance to get 1154 01:35:09.010 --> 01:35:13.670 a number of players into the game get some varsity action get some exposure coaches 1155 01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:13.820 get 1156 01:35:13.830 --> 01:35:18.570 a look at them we saw that you know on last night Thursday night too and that's good 1157 01:35:18.580 --> 01:35:23.030 for the team that's good for the program right because if some of these guys aren't 1158 01:35:23.450 --> 01:35:27.290 playing as much now they will be next year Absolutely and if there's injuries if 1159 01:35:27.300 --> 01:35:31.370 there's other things happening you need you need that depth in this team is deep we 1160 01:35:31.380 --> 01:35:36.120 see even you know as the game was on the passing everything stays looking pretty 1161 01:35:36.160 --> 01:35:42.880 pretty consistent and right out pretty sharp so I boy. Cyrus and some big 1162 01:35:42.890 --> 01:35:48.880 saves so that it could have been 28 to one you know the the ball we I think part of 1163 01:35:48.890 --> 01:35:53.750 the reason we kept in the one goal. We we had some success on the faceoff we held 1164 01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:55.430 them up we got a letter one 1165 01:35:55.440 --> 01:35:58.460 a few but our Allison is get in there and we didn't give them 1166 01:35:58.500 --> 01:36:03.360 a chance to pick it up and run and set up possession and when they did our polls 1167 01:36:03.370 --> 01:36:08.080 our Mitty's on the defensive side held court just took care of business right some 1168 01:36:08.120 --> 01:36:13.450 big stops by Manny Steele to so folks we appreciate you being along for the ride 1169 01:36:13.460 --> 01:36:19.400 for Scott myself can gracious host the inventor of Heights High School the similes 1170 01:36:19.400 --> 01:36:22.370 .
