baseline. too many blank tank tops in there to do any offensive work so they will reset to jared harper, driving the baseline hit. ball knocked out of bounds. stays with brook. >> looking at quickness of
pebblebrook, how they're attacking the rim getting to the basket because of the size of westlake. floater definitely comes into play here soon as they make that adjustment. >> quick pick of george washington.

pebblebrook. they have penetration, penetration. they got to make shots. in the shots somebody has to take the backboard and transition. westlake's getting out, attacking in transition.

6'5". often the shot back of the rim over the -- goes the other way. wilkins, his first to go with his four points and come back down the floor. >> wilkins is a heck of an athlete. right ankle taped up.

first and present, definitely helps in recruitment and showcase, the family atmosphere he's trying to build down there and showcase at auburn. >> 15-10 under a minute to go here in the first. drive, bodies up. rims out.
pebblebrook trying to come out with it. a lot of hands active. but the brook, 35 seconds. long launch. missed everything. >> that's it, you know, average points a game without taking big changes.

>> jon: pebblebrook 44% with that bucket. >> shaun: the quickest. coming from all areas of the floor for pebblebrook. make them, face them, get it to the rim. >> jon: 15-14. see if it's another run for
pebblebrook here. pitch and catch outside. for lewis. wilkins, ron bell. all the way out high. rebound, brook. see what they can do in transition, thought about a squaring there's your square and
fire. off the rim again. the rim has not been kind to this entire weekend to a lot of teams. second and third chances there but we've got a whistle. foul on tyler morman, his first. >> shaun: the first offense
there, for pebblebrook. morman, playing the biggest player. so inside presence is good. he's that quick and goes on the bench because of the foul, jon, but the quickness of pebblebrook is good. >> jon: back in the ball game.
current 9-0 run started with 2:46 left in the quarter. so you're looking at something about 4:30 minutes long all pebblebrook on the board. wilkins -- back rim. off the glass, wilkins, heads the other way. >> shaun: the two-three zone,
hard to defend because they can go inside of it. what the two-three zone does, jon, forces westlake to make more passes than they're accustomed to, which throws you off rhythm. >> jon: coming up on two minutes gone.
margin one. jumper, elbow, rimmed out. almost grabbed, almost saved. wilkins has it, but is out of bounds with it. it stays with the brook. dwight murray will inbound, all the way back. wilkins, 6'6" coming out to meet
harper. playing catch with jj smith and dwight murray up high. two big bodies prevent that from turning into two. >> shaun: the quickness of pebblebrook, quickness of their guard play, getting by the big fellas there, the weak side
help. that saved the basket, jon, because the quickness of pebblebrook, very effective in the first half. >> jon: harper and wilkins. collin sexton. trying to get rid of the hand check, in the lane for two.
>> shaun: talked about the floater, jon. bring it into play. sexton doing a good job. the second wave of a big fella for westlake with a big dude. >> jon: falcons now with the lead. one and done for westlake.
baseline drive. >> shaun: you talked about it. first three meetings led every single game. three for pebblebrook. once they were down close to double digits, game plan, switching it. driving, penetrating, getting to
>> jon: 13-0 run. ended there. george washington screaming ithecylinder, wanted offensive interference, didn't get it. >> shaun: the drive. finishes with two. here we go again. here's lewis.
the big guys. ah, close, close, but -- a good basketball game, jon. let the players make plays. >> jon: golden swallowed his whistle. >> shaun: things happen on the court. such a great basketball game, a
great atmosphere. let the players play. doing a great job on that. >> jon: beasley in for desmund beasley. sexton whip the free throw now has eight and the margin's 27-17. >> shaun: a pace pebblebrook
likes. what it down the court. use quickness. and make westlake have to work, offensive and defensive end. >> jon: baseline wide open. three thought about by wilkins. now had to give it up. all of the white jerseys on the
baseline caused a turnover. >> shaun: penetrate to the baseline, a presence inside, there's already help there. the coach for washington, a great game plan together, jon. let them play from the outside, guys. deliver the penetration.
>> jon: the run's now 15-2. we come up from the half way point here in the second into the corner, sexton, drives too much. pebblebrook comes back with it. dangerous pass. they'll reset. harper, bounce into the paint.
jj smith, harper now playing catch, contested three off the tip, good. >> shaun: the big guy there, jon, inside. the offensive rebound for pebblebrook, nice on the tip. tip-in. >> jon: morman with the two.
back rim, no. one and done again. three on two. what happens? foul on the drive. >> shaun: too much energy in the building. you can see the kids want to make big plays.
don't make big plays. make smart plays, jon. down by five. >> jon: pebblebrook on a major run 17-2, and all falcons quite some time. 3:36 to go in the first half. on the great gpb. >> jon: welcome back, macon
the crowd getting into it on the brook side of things. every reason to do so on a 17-2 run. this is what we've gn talking westlake once, westlake twice, westlake in the region tournament, had the biggest margin of it all.
6-10-22. >> shaun: jon, westlake, they're the -- pebblebrook, tonight's contest, you can see the hunter pug together a strategic game plan. going to maximize our strength and minimize weaknesses. we can't have a half-court game.
force the tempo, what pebblebrook is doing. up and down the court, transition basketball, drive it to the basket and beating the strength of westlake. >> jon: championship appearance for darron rogers. and talked.
anything in the back of the playbook, or just rip the playbook up? george washington, whatever he's drawn up so far done well. >> shaun: the coach has a few things up his sleeve, but you don't show your secrets first. come out and see if your bread
and butter can take it. right now their bread, butter, their jam, the lead. >> jon: westlake one field goal in roughly the last eight minutes. last field goal was at 4:53. the second quarter. so you're looking at almost 8
minutes of one shot going in from the floor. foul on the way up. and the shooting numbers practically identical. both squads 8 for 20. >> shaun: see the zone, jon? they backed up -- we want westlake to shoot the ball.
you don't have shooters. 1.3 shooters, lewis. giving him the shot. got to do a better job of penetrating the zone. if you don't have shooters, jon, want to have moreovement. move throughout the zone. screen on the weak side and then
pass instead of standing stationary. >> jon: one of two. and at the three minute. wilkins contesting, big scoops. a lot of bodies inside. westlake got transition and numbers three on two. wilkins, and couldn't get the
square up three but the two is good. jamie lewis. >> shaun: the reason lewis is one of the upcoming top point guards in the nation, jon. with all that's going on, nice shot. nice pull-up.
>> jon: jj smith looking to check in next dead ball. collin sexton with it up high. ron bell, keeping an eye. drive, sexton, foul. >> shaun: sexton driving to the basket, under control. sees past the defender, draws the foul.
that's just good basketball, >> jon: foul on bell, his second. free throw, good. >> shaun: this thing reminds me of villanova. guards that can penetrate and create. when you got guards that
penetrate and create, jon, one thing they do a lot is get to the free-throw line. and right now, pebblebrook is 8 for 8 on the free-throw line and wolf blitzer 1 for 3. showing you the penetration, the guard play has been effective for pebblebrook.
>> jon: big launch back to the one and done. >> shaun: that's not good basketball on westlake. they've got to settle down. be a little more active. because of your size and strength, you got athletes, move a little more.
strain a little more. be more patient offensively in the half-court jon, but one and donees are simply not going to cause them to shoot .211 from the field here lately. >> jon: coming up on two first half of the boys 6a championship region three versus
region three, pebblebrook and big three, front rim, no. okeke with the rebound. westlake back in transition. kick to okeke in the corner. >> shaun: jon, atop 25, prospect in the nation, because of his size. his ability to shoot on the
perimeter, jon, a big time play. >> jon: give him two. 25-22 under 90 seconds. sexton, driving. rimmed out. got his own rebound and in. >> shaun: that's tough. that's a young man, jon, you know, he's gotten beat three
times by this same westlake team, jon. that's pure heart. the shot, finishing them up for three. >> jon: sure. 6'10". wilkins, 6'6". who got the bucket?
sexton. >> shaun: 6'2". >> jon: and the rebound on that play. sexton -- wanted to shoot from the elbow. >> shaun: and with the basketball, i'm loving this kid even more.
just watching him and really his game, he's shown what he can do with the basketball, jon. >> jon: foul on bell, it's his third. >> shaun: one of those guys, bell, the westlake team goes. look ow strong he is. strong with the basketball.
great body control. quick off his feet. one, two, and the putback. >> jon: a little english there for collin sexton. >> shaun: a reason everybody wants that young man on their a good body. great strength and a good kid.
>> jon: 10 in the quarter. 14 in the game for collin pebblebrook up seven. wilkins, back rim. thought about transition. swear and fire -- >> shaun: that's the basketball game, jon and i'm wondering, why westlake is taking one quick
shot? you got five, you got more ath leads, size. get the ball inside and be patient. >> jon: too much of a fastball. try it again. jamie lewis under the bucket. jordan eaton.
touched it last. he will sit. tyler morman, back in. mervin james in. a sophomore. for nine seconds. >> shaun: jon right now, eyes and the body language of westlake lions.
you don't see the right body language. you see the curious george body language, jon. they're just not as active and ratty as they should be in a championship game. >> jon: back rim batted out. throw it up before the buzzer.
missed it again. and that's your break. westlake was up 13-4. a 27-7 run for pebblebrook has given them a 10-point lead. sam crenshaw with george >> coach washington, coach, on one of your time-outs you set shut down the penetration and no
open looks and attack, attack, attack on offense. the team went out and did that four. >> yes, sir. what we've been preaching ought week. we got tothetic those bigs get them in transition.
this is a bigger court than a high school court. it's to our advantage on the bigger court. the bigs have to guard our guards and in an open space. we got to do a better job of attacking and not giving them open shots.
gave too many open shots in the first quarter. why we were down. we did exactly what i told them and up by 10. guess what? cannot take our foot off the pedal. we've been up before against
them. right now we got to keep our foot on the pedal. >> key to the second half? >> keep your foot on the pedal. don't slow down. keep attacking the bigs. i'm proud they executed. every time we kpaul a set they
ran the set. might not have got a shot but a wide open look. got to keep executing, keep executing. >> good luck to you in the second half. >> thank you, thank you, thank you.

year were 13-15. here they are now in the state championship game and then you've got one of the best scoring duos in the state of georgia. >> one of the things interesting, i went out to both practices this week.

ron bell with three. >> shaun: yeah. jon, you heard coach washington talk about keeping the pedal to the gas. driving a two-door porsche and they're driving a four-don bentley, jon, and both cars, cost a lot of money, but one
car's going to do something better and that's the speed of the force is definitely taking advantage of the game so far. >> jon: what car has better mileage? the porsche or bentley? >> shaun: supposedly there's been a recession.
[ laughter ] >> jon: that's the way to start the second half if you're jumper up and in, jamie lewis. >> shaun: score early in the second half, you're down. early score, quick score, leads to more confidence. >> jon: off the window.
missed it. one and done, stepped on the so it will stick with the brook. >> harper, drive, rim, no. the height taking advantage of okeke with the board. back comes wilkins. back rim. back comes pebblebrook, one and
done. sexton losing the handle. pass -- twice. drive, foul. >> shaun: jon, the way pebblebrook wants to play. we talked about it at the beginning. now in the middle of the game.
penetration, penetration. transition basketball. sexton just didn't have good, complete handle of the ball. sexton, penetrating. trying to get to the rim in lost control of the ball. got it under control. got it to jj.
now jj got it in line for two. >> jon: over thinking with too many passes? >> shaun: no. that's the way they play. got to play this basketball to win a championship. not about one on one play. pebblebrook sharing it well to
each other. >> jon: points eight and nine for jj smith. margin back to ten. westlake came in 26-4. 12-2 in the region on a 14-game winning streak and the one seed out of region three. rebound.
they'll try it again. shot's up. no good by ron bell but he'll go to the line. >> shaun: and jon, you know, we talked about bell. he's the glue for this team according to the coach. now goes without his team,
though, and jon, that's the third rebound for the game. got foul trouble. i think a couple of fouls on him, jon. he really needs to step up here in the second half. >> jon: foul called on dwight murray.
his second. and our stat crew, kevin barnes handed me a piece of paper. i'm going to hang on to it. parlance we call that a tease. tremendous piece of information. but i reveal in a bit. turnover. and now i will reveal that piece
of information. that turnover that just happened was the first time pebblebrook turned the ball over since the the first quarter, kevin barnes, stat man extraordinaire, burns through about 12 books of these for every weekend. makes it sound smarter than we
actually are every single weekend. glad to have him off my left shoulder. back of the rim. follow, no. we'll do it again. >> shaun: jon, you've seen this possession here, jon.
about rebounding for westlake. every shot a rebounding pass for multiple second-chance points. multiple second-chance opportunities. you got lewis for the free-throw line, jon. >> jon: tyler morman, his darron rogers trying to get his
claws back in. fifth state championship appearance for the westlake lions. three-point good. seven. >> shaun: i like what the coach is doing. got to get our mojo going.
can't do it in a half court. trade with defense. allow the press to pick it up a >> jon: pass exploded, calling jamie lewis on the foul reaching for it at the same time collin sexton was. that's his second. >> jon: that's okay.
lewis being aggressive. >> shaun: be aggressive down by seven, championship game, team beat you three times already. you can't do this. got to be aggressive in the bentley, jon. >> jon: harper guarded by trying to clear out, a lot of
space. thas closed up in a hurry but four on bell. they're going to call okeke. that's two. look at the free-throw numbers. >> shaun: i'll say this and say it again. anytime you can make more
free-throws than your opponent, odds are you're going to win the >> jon: number of attempts, 11. margin back to 8 at 6:02. >> shaun: jon, the fouls that are being committed by westlake, jon, are common fouls on the perimeter for a loose ball. they are fouls on the
penetration by the guard for a pass or a shot. that's not good, because any contact they're going to the free-throw line. >> jon: jamie lewis thought about it. drives. block.
that's three on morman. >> shaun: penetration. morman a little late underneath the basket. shaken there. >> jon: how long does morman stay with three fouls? >> shaun: morman comes in and out from pebblebrook.
good for rebounding but his presence, the guard penetration and the transition basketball. >> jon: jamie lewis now with 7. morman leads. marvin james comes in. the sophomore. second free throw, good. lewis averages 14 and 8 assists.
he's got 8. the offense v zone. bounce. that goes. >> shaun: that kid is under night pull-up jump shot. reminds me of isaiah thomas. very crafty with the basketball. >> jon: thought they would go
for the big lob. wilkins miss add shot. missed a shot. bell across. lewis, fouled. change of sexton. calling on james. it's his first. >> shaun: good coaching here by
coach washington. getting a big presence down low with eaton. hopefully he can get a defensive rebound and start transition basketball for the brook. >> jon: mervin james checks out. for the high lob. retrieve iters to choose from.
jamie lewis picked it up. wilkins looking to drive. goes past sexton off the glass and in but they're going to call a charge. >> shaun: jon, the big board down low. moved his feet first. postplay got to understand
ostensively, move over. take the charge first. if you can block from the hip side, great defense. fantastic job there by eaton. >> jon: that's three. on wilkins. a block -- >> shaun: that's how well
pebblebrook, how quick they penetrate and attack you in the zone against a press. westlake needs to do a better job containing the offense instead of letting them go through like water. >> jon: with the two there. smith has 11.
his 11. high lob trying to get something going physically and they do. >> shaun: the first time they passed it to okeke. face up, rip through and attack now you're taking advantage of your strength, getting your ball inside.
>> jon: okeke averages 20. he has 5. launch -- off the rim. eaton fighting for it on the last touched by westlake. >> shaun: this pebblebrook team, jon, and they're playing with offensive urgency and really want this game.
all the loose ball, the 50/50 balls they're the ones coming up with them. >> jon: eaton, all alone. triple-teamed at one point. clear out work by jj smith. he gets the deuce. up to 42-31 at the halfway point.
not anymore. >> shaun: this is the way both teams played all year long. swatching baskets. playing basketball. drives, dunks, alley-oops. this is a good game tonight. >> jon: wilkins' first basket since the first quarter.
he's got six. you see sexton trying to calm to down but wants to work with eaton up high. >> shaun: look where you got the bigs. the bigs, jon, almost at half-court. the coach, washington, saw that.
be patient, and draw the foul. now four fouls, jon, on your defensive mvp. >> jon: and off the foul, ron bell's got four. and we're heading above the rim and here in the third quarter. region rivals chasing after each other for the 6a title.
right now the lead belongs to the brook on the great gpb. >> jon: welcome back top pebblebrook leading 42-33. >> this is the bashar al assad -- >> hold and with this -- the story, validation of all of this, coming monday, april 11th
on gpb. >> well done, partner. >> jon: 11 minutes of basketball in the 2016 season. watching it here on georgia public broadcasting. been here all weekend long. see the cast of folks, credit at the end of the broadcast.
a lot of folks put a lot of effort and time and love to bring it to you. turnover off the drive, back to >> shaun: presence of the big boy inside helps off the drive. >> jon: only the fourth turnover seem to only give turnovers in the odd numbered quarters so
far. jumper good. >> shaun: and these guards on, shoot over the top. the small defense. pebblebrook, he's got to continue playing under control and not a camp and shoot guy. get your body into the defense,
and utilize the strength. >> jon: harper miss. eaton, four black jerseys in there, and they're going to call they're going to call it on thompson, 12, who's in the game. so it will be the 6'4" senior's first foul. averages a bucket a game, first
free throw good by eaton. >> shaun: when you're a team accustomed to getting to the free-throw line, your entire team has that same confidence and eaton getting up here now. a chance to make two in a row. just like the guards have been shooting all night long.
>> jon: taking a seat. trading a 6'6" for a 68 junior for westlake. makes both free throws. pebblebrook from the line. 17 of 18 on the night. jamie lewis for three to cut it to a six-point margin. >> shaun: i think the coach is
okay with that shot, jon. they've played a two-three zone inside the pass getting up the perimeter shot to take the a time-out. set up with the defense, westlake was. you didn't want to take an ill-advised.
coach with a nice play. saw something, given advantage, penetration possibly. so take your time-out, a minute and 63 to go. third quarter done and a six bsh -- six-point lead. a good time-out. >> jon: got the bounce there.
from the outside, the head line it up from the outside again. folks in the truck working the fast fingers again. what you see, 9-4 mini westlake run cutting the margin to 44-38. batting it away. wilkins, comes back the other
way off jerrod thompson. harper, blocked. and wilkins hit the stanchion hard. >> shaun: jon, man that is some good basketball right there. that's championship basketball. that's what we were hoping to see the first two quarters.
now they're coming to show why they've won three of the last three meetings, jon. they got a little work to do to come back in this game, down by eight. >> jon: remember wilkins, right ankle heavily taped. foul on jamie lewis.
his third. sat out practice, early part of the week. been playing well so far. but when you work up to the penthouse, and the stairs aren't there to help you on the way down,. >> shaun: exactly right.
going up, probably touch the rim, but i can also break my leg if i jump and fall down. >> jon: jamie lewis gets the >> shaun: the size of lewis, not being out of control. he's being strong with the basketball, and prevailing here. here he is, getting the defense
on the shoulder. getting low with the ball. a good play. >> jon: harper, his first. lewis now with 16. >> shaun: strong basketball. good basketball by lewis, jon. a rising up and coming star for >> jon: an average of 14.
70 seconds for the third. harper -- trying to get to the penthouse and didn't get to the top floor. he has not gotten up. stops wilkins from doing anything to protect his buddy. second foul on sexton. let's look at harper.
>> shaun: jon, aggressiveness of harper attacking the rim. here we go with the replay, jon. you'll see the drive to the weak side help. hit his head on the court, jon. a tough break for that young man. >> jon: big block, kelvin simeon
in the paint. harper felt it on the way down. so collin sexton, just grabbed wilkins to make sure the clock would stop. seventh foul. definitely going to about cobweb check here. wilkins with the free throw.
missed the front end. got six points. >> shaun: going for one shot, smart basketball. a mismatch. get the mismatch. bring it back out. back out. >> jon: sexton's, spin.
>> shaun: sexton, jon, so strong with the basketball. so athletic, so crafty, jon. just an art for getting to the rim, jon and getting the basket. >> jon: foul's on wilkins. oh okeke has four. sexton at the line. belfi four.
in mine attempts. >> shaun: the biggest court, talked about, a high stage. and it could be, jon, it could be fatigue. this kid has, free throw attempts in the game. misses two in a row. going into the fourth quarter.
>> jon: made his first eight, missed his next two. westlake is going to play for one. >> shaun: tough basketball, jon. don't give pebblebrook a chance to score again. take one shot. go into the fourth quarter with
momentum. >> jon: jamie lewis, under ten. had the hot hand in the quarter. doesn't continue. off the back rim. batted out. one last chance. foul. wanted a time-out.
kelvin simeon taking exception to everything going on in the paint. had to separate him from jj smith. not a surprise that tempers would be heated among region rivals. >> shaun: jon, that was going to
happen early. good officiating. these kids know they have to keep their composure. you see coach washington. he saw it. he sees something that happened. what does he do? gets himself a jj smith.
calmed down, back in the game and put them in position to win the championship. good coaching. >> jon: called mervin james on that will be his second. free-throw in the front end is simeon's first point of the night.
>> shaun: like you said, every game they lost, they had a lead. down to four points. now down to two. >> jon: that's the quarter. to your point and pebblebrooke has the lead in all the match ups. we're getting ready for the the
last quarter of basketball in 2015-2016 and pebblebrooke leads by three. >> this is made possible by supporters of georgia >>> eight minutes that it. that's it. no regrets. no regrets.>> all your hate.
all of your love everything behind you for the the final eight minutes. >> just looking at this fourth quarter and there's so much emotion. you have to play it hard, but you have to play it smart too. looking at the stats at half
time and pebblebrooke is rebounding and now it's tied 24-24 and then a ten point lead and down to three. rebounding is a strong factor in >> a big strong plus. >> i talked about rebounding and there's the penetration and then the the follow up by
pebblebrooke. >> lewis responds. pebblebrooke and then jamie lewis had three himself. >> going with the rebound, john they have to put it back. >> darren rogers calls a fall time-out. >> going to two teams that's
going to hurt him. it's the dark penetration number those are the things that cannot allow to happen. you have the score on the end were westlake and then the the things that are a crush. he used that word often. >> let's see what's going on
four time-outs remaining and smart time-out and wanting to correct something. >> you have penetration john, and you had nobody going to the the rebound. those guys have to box out when the shot is up. >> from the floor westlake sits
five of the last seven and pebblebrooke four of the last six. it was a 5-0 run that drew westlake first. it's the the bucket here in the fourth. foul inside and then front rim capped out.
wilkin shielding and they will reset jamie lewis. it's like wilkin was caught between ideas. wanted to get one opportunity and then changed had his mind. >> we're going to mention that and adjustment to westlake and that's serious.
westlake came up because pebblebrooke is playing deep. >> fourth foul on mormon. >> that's the penetration and then the penetration that helped to change it and then we're going to pick what is going on here to number 22. we're at the line.
>> jordan easing back in. he is pick approximating up the force and then free throw is margin is two. guarded by wilkin. >> that's by westlake and hoping that they can stay big and then what pebblebrooke has done. >> you get double things in the
corner and then it's pretty much everything and jordan had it and lost it. lewis has a time-out quick. to 30. smart call and he was out to the >> it was on the previous and look at the previous possessions, john.
this is what we talked about. it's the 3-23 zone and then in the middle. the thing is that pebblebrooke has shot one for nine in the three point. penetration is good and that's a safe and defensively. that's great defense.
cannot settle for the three. that's exactly what is zone has done and settled for the three. >> let's see what the chess match is with george washington. the adjustments to the adjustments here in the beginning of the fourth quarter. >> it's to get morman in and he
is active and done this before and a better offensive threat than defense. >> dangerous dance bringing him back in with four fouls and you see pebblebrooke in the paint. wilkin guarded by sexton and wilkin will drive off the rim. hit twice and harper.
>> two minutes in. >> you have a better play maker at the half and then he is able to get to the rim. you have a better play maker in the the middle instead of a post player that's not exactly. >> bounce by bell and that's dangerous within the four fouls.
they call the 30 quick and sensing the trouble. bell four and wilkin with four. jamie lewis with three. >> it's one of the tens of basketball is the fast court and just catching it. eventually you have two defenders and that's out of
bounds. >> and then a third one with the in line. >> yeah, and those guys and can you make that around you. that's the area f of no return. you can attack from the baseline quick, but you don't catch on the baseline to pass and then be
passed. >> by jar red and there is the drive. getting caught again. lewis! >> there it goes john. when pebblebrooke comes to play, westlake comes to play. he is the most important player
on the court for westlake. you can hear the excitement and then it's a tie game, john. a ten point game by pebblebrooke at one time. now you have a tied game with over five minutes to go. we had a tie over four and in now we have a tie at 48 and the
regulation. >> john, that zone was in the zone and westlake is affective. trying to penetrate from the baseline and trying to attack the high and sometimes they're trying to get a high ball to allow penetration. they're trying to find a way to
get back the link of the >> it's 10-2 for westlake. intercepted with a lot of busy hands and westlake with the elbow. >> he is entirely affected offensively but being able the be big up here in the half-court stretch and hit it at 15 feet.
>> miss. rebound a lot of busy hands by last touch by harper and it's going to stay with westlake. you can feel the court jilted. >> yeah, it jilted. you have the guards. the guards like the penetrate and make the plays.
they're going to make the pass and plays. instead of making a direct pass, they're floating the passes and then it's creating the reflection and the turnovers. >> daniel lewis in and wilkins! >> they're not passing. they're taking their time.
>> four of five from the floor and the fourth quarter and washington wants the full. 14 two runs and westlake with a margin. is this to came them down and then work on things or is he working on things and then tying them in?
>> i mean stretched out. let's listen what he has to say. >> we're not defending! we're not defending! >> where is the middle man? >> looks like he wanted the movement motion. >> it's one of those things when you start off the game with a
normal horse and then you're yelling to the coaches board and it's hard to get the the boards out and do what the coaches say. impact the zone but we have to finish. >> it's on the floor in the fourth quarter and blocked from behind.
the last basket was four minutes ago. >> walking up the the court and then the to be more aggressive. they have the ball out here. >> wilkin guarded by sexton and then jamie lewis in the other corner. wilkins out of control and had
jamie lewis there and then upset. guarded by harper and then lewis lost the handle and got it back. pebblebrooke coming back and then they have to do something saved it back and then it's the the the ball was grabbed and alternate o possession and stays
with westlake. a defensive play by jared >> looks like george washington is calling another time-out. that's going to leave him with one at 2:59. watch jered harper. he is being assisted. he is not at 100â percent.
>> no, he is not. they were able to check him after he fell to the ground. that's one of the things that i am sure that he is checking on. >> remember first half when harper tries to do the dunk and then the penthouse and got blocked.
he hit the deck pretty hard. >> yeah, are pretty hard. one of the things that he said is that he has a concussion and i am sureâ -- i don't know i am just saying that the the championship is important. we have the watch after this young man.
>> let's see what the brook does. pebblebrooke has nine fouls and westlake eight. we're going spend a lot of time at the free throw line. you notice that wilkin when he came down, came down left foot first.
>> it's in the most by westlake. >> lewis missed the run and offensive foul on the way in. >> here it is in the first half what we were talking about. up to the top and harper got blocked and thn you can see the foul right there. yeah.
great work. >> now looking at the game you have him just fouling out. he just fouled out. we have four more games john with under three to go. this is a transform here for westlake and for pebblebrooke in a positive way.
>> he fouls out at 2:42 and averaging nine and nine in the year. he is going to have to think five minutes and the route of scoring through pebblebrooke. lewis and harper and jamie lewis dribbling out of traffic and has possession back.
fouling to the elbow on the way by. >> they're going at it john. lewis is doing a great job of handling the basketball. it's here and keeping an eye on 11. foul is on sexton. jamie lewis with 19 and harper
is going get an assist at two. >> he maybe done for the game. he maybe done. >> still at five. there's the free throw numbers and attempted five more or seven more. a shot from the corner. >> john, he is going to stick.
they kept on working. kept working and then eventually they were able to get the ball for the three. >> the drought was 5:33. there you go. first points is 7:45. 5:33 drought and gets the three. the time-out is pebblebrookes
last. >> i don't know about that. i don't know why the coach used maybe because the offense needs to come out and he has one inment. i hope that they do not call another one for the foul. >> the three by murray and makes
it a two point margin. you see george washington emphasizes over and over and over motion motion motion. especially if they kept with the zone like early on. >> yeah, the link and the height john, you have to have them in the corner and then the
penetration is the penetration to the floor. it's westlake and then we have the shooter and then we're linked in to a two point game. >> harper is back out there lewis you to daniel lewis and then wilkin and then sexton from the slot behind and jamie lewis
under two minutes. spin. a lot of action up high. looks like the foul is going to be on james. that's going to be his third. it's called smith instead and j j's second. >> john, look at the bottom of
westlake with two time-outs and pebblebrooke with none. >> having to dance the last two minutes with no time-outs. daniel lewis with ten. this is second free throw and then the margins is three. sexton is square and then no one and done.
trying to get for the reach and then that did not happen. going to the kick and then jamie foul again on james. >> the offensive execution and then there's the the transition and then back here on the defense and then the drive by lewis and then the free throw
that's a good job. >> james is on third. you see something interesting here on defense. you see four players from the brook and only the shooter. watch. >> the beginning of the game there was a defense and now
let's get the defense up. we have confident at the free throw line and we're focused on defense not offense. >> sexton and drive. got it. he almost lost a handle on it. >> defensive pressure, john. defensive pressure and
pebblebrooke did the turnover. >> we approach a minute. sexton almost lost concentration but he did finally lose the handle and turnover number fouled. the dunk makes it five and back to three. pebblebrooke has no time-outs.
they have to get a steal or a foul quickly. sexton tried to foul. rogers does pebblebrooke a favor and calls a time-out. >> john, that's a smart that's why it's a smart offensively you have the control of the game with the ball if in
your hand. when the ball is not in your hand and pebblebrooke has it, they have a chance to tie it. i would rather keep possession of the game and control of the game on the offensive end. >> that's what got us to five. the eight and ninth point of the
he is half way there. what is darren rogers saying right now. >> the ball is ours. >> let's see what he says. >> that's going to be you back there. we have the five, four, three. we're going to change it out.
the ball is ours. we have to make the free throws and finish the game. >> we have a minute and a half the o go in the third and they wanted to do a one four high. >> now, even though that you have possession of the ball, they have one time-out left for
westlake and you have to get it in bounds. you have you have to get the ball in bounds. that's the key. no time off the clock. you can see that it's down to the clutch. >> foul is on second to the
>> then foul. missed the first. >> it's the offensive player and then we're worried about the transition right now than the defensive rebound. >> there's time left over the right shoulder and then missed the ball and thenâ --
>> high ball strings. high ball strings. >> remember no time-outs for >> there's the high ball string, john. >> tied! >> back to the basket. back to the basket. don't call a time-out.
just let them play. >> but he calls a time-out at 8.1. westlake is out of time-outs. >> that's amazing. you saw the high ball string. he refused the first and came there's a reason why he is going to you auburn.
he is is a play maker. he is a scorer, and a big time guy playing big time basketball and hitting a big time shot. they have to do the screens harper up and hit it from 24. >> you have it at the top of the the circle. >> john, here is the foul and
defense. you're going to have a ball at the top and at the two point lewis is going to make the play. >> sexton guarding hard and >> we're going to over time, we're going over time. >> half-court and missed everything.
three hoops. >> pebblebrooke and one of 11 and they hit two in the last 35 seconds. >> they saved the the best for this is a fur time meet asking now we have a chance to o go to over time. everything is on the table and
it's championship basketball, >> all in for another four these team gets to add a blue mark. so there's zero time-outs are one on each side. and it's four minutes on the clock. >> john, coach watched it and i
believe that he has found a way to attack the three two zone. >> with the high ball. >> yeah, and now the other guys have to come up and do a jump if they do come you up john, you can kick it to the wing and then to the basket. going with the game plan john
and play the game. play inside out. play big boy basketball and control the defense and offensive. >> remember westlake does not have ron bell. wilkin has four for pebblebrooke and morman has four.
>> jamie lewis and like murray. >> this is a basketball by the this is a two the three zone in don't rush it westlake. take the time. >> it's the the cut and being it's okay. this is smart basketball by coach rogers.
>> john, you know it may go two straight and then that's okay. >> when was the last time you saw a staring contest like this. >> with the state championship it's not about anything else. if you dribble john, that picks the ball up. he knows that there's a dibble
and it's unique. >> minute and a half and murray finally meets him. passing the daniel. that's when you sit back and he is the reason why. you make them play and it's a one possession game. you don't want to go back and
forth and play with the vehicles. you limit them to one shot and they score and if they miss it, pebblebrooke holds the ball. >> we're half way through over daniel lewis says i got this. >> to the credit, this is why he have a shot clock, john.
>> now the the guards come out to the the brooks. gerard harper on daniel. >> going to make a play from the perimeter. 80 seconds. george washington put up that stop sign. don't challenge him yet.
down to a minute. >> going with his own point. that's what you want. he is inside of the paint. it's inside of the rim. >> three minutes went off the clock and westlake gets the first two of over time. >> this is what we talked about
earlier john. it was not there. murray and gerard harper and williams trying for the ball drive and nothing. wilkin in transition. >> now the question is did kenny price get a charge or a block? way the go my friend.
way to hang in there. >> fantastic job. there he is. he took the charge. >> he did not move. >> that's a push to the back and then a foul. now you have the basket and a free throw.
that was real frustration there on the defense of pebblebrooke and coming down. that's the shot and pushing into >> intentional foul on morman. he is done. >> and the ball. darren rogers sat on it for the first three minutes of over
we have a basket and then it's one shot for the brook at the other end, and we're here at 27.6. >> that's the game john. he made a big play, john. >> nothing on the three but air. >> john, we talked about making a big play to get the first
basket in over time and we finish it out with a nice >> george washington called it was a hard break last year going up against wheeler. one point lead in the drive and then the foul at point 6. >> we go to the line and makes two free throws and then a half
second to go. looks like two years in a row and brook to the brink and they're that close. >> john, pebblebrooke did have a great game plan john. they played with so much heart and so much emotion. we got 17.7 to go in an eight
point game. it's going to be tough for pebblebrooke to come back. these kids had a great season. >> they did. >> john, if you had to pick an mvp of the game, and i know that i am talking with time to go. i want to say mvc for rogers.
what he did john was just took the air out of the ball and going to put it into the high coach to my guy. my guy is leading in scoring. no one on the court is one on one and then attack the rim like he did and then finish with two. >> losses is out of state and
memphis east and remember what they had the do when the playoffs in round two through four just to get here. number three and number six shiloh and number eight. sexton is done at 17.7. >> john, coach said when you get the ball you have to attack the
