and we're starting to play a little better because we're all healthy and it's exactly what happens. There's three and oh in this building. So this is gonna be a very tough place for North to come in here. I'm saying three and oh in conference to come in here and win a basketball game. It doesn't look like North or South are gonna win the conference, but you always wanna finish above your cross town rival in the standings. This is gonna be a huge game with both of them being three and two. Yeah, it is a really big game. And I've been thinking about this game all day today. And one thing I think that's gonna be interesting is the South's experience and some of the newer players for Shibuya North. You got kids like Lorgy and Bedoin, Damcott, even Witter that have never played in a big North South game like this. We'll see how those kids respond. The South kids, they're more senior experience. A lot of those kids were juniors last year. And again, you know, we'll see how that goes. I think you always bring up a good point that didn't all be quite to say like the first two or three minutes of a North South game is like some of the worst basketball ever. Let's see which team kind of comes out of the gate and on track. I want to mention this again, Chris. It has nothing to do with the basketball game, but the bands behind us, Shibuygan South and Shibuygan North are co-opting with the music tonight. South Wade Hynan is their director and Keene Carey is the North director. Back to basketball. You like to say if you want to beat North, you got to control Hasenstein. I say if you want to beat South, you got to control Logan Hamilton. Yeah, those are obviously the two big stars are they're both having really good seasons. Logan Hamilton had 20 points last week.    I'm really curious to see what Coach Ranko is going to guard them. Unless it'll be a couple of players. But I think it's going to be those role players, those different players, the Dylan Martins, you know, the Ben Lorges, you know, the Brent Whitters and of course Ethan Sonales too.  You know what you're going to get out of Hamilton. You know what you're going to get out of Hasenstein. But who are going to be the heroes tonight? I think one of the guys you got to pay attention to for South is Dylan Martins. He's averaging double digit rebounds and he can be a force underneath. And with North not being very tall, he could be tough to handle. Yeah, and I think you mentioned it when we've done some of the games as well as I have. I mean, they are much better South than it is when Dylan Martins is on the floor because that takes away the post presence and things. Logan Hamilton can go out and shoot threes and things like that where Dylan Martins can control things. I mean, he's averaging almost 10 rebounds a game. But if South's got Dylan Martins in the game, that's a big force in the middle there. When he comes out, South gets a little bit smaller. And then like I said, Logan's got to go bang against some of the bigs and definitely a key player is Dylan Martins. One more thing, Chris, before we end this. North likes the pressure a little bit. How is South's ball handling? Is that going to play a role in tonight's ball game? Well, the guy who's going to be in charge of that is going to be Josh Govec and he's a freshman. But we've seen him a number of times this year. He doesn't care about the spotlight. That kid's playing like a junior or a senior. So far this year, he's really handling it. He, you know, I was nervous when they, oh, big appears coming into town. Josh Govec stood up big time and knocked out the redbirds when he was there. So we'll see how Josh handles it. We'll see if he's got a little nerve because it is his first experience. But I think a lot of it's going to rely on him and that's what he'll help him to. I think the band is getting tired because I could hear you this interview. We're going to step out and we come back. We'll have the opening or the lineups and the opening tip-off for tonight's game. It doesn't take a fairy godmother to tell you that the right fit means everything, especially when it comes to car seats. Always choose one that's the right fit for your child's age and size. Oh, that does make a difference. Remember, they're happily ever afters are in your hands. To find out more, visit safercar.gov. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Our trainers from Bervea Sports Medicine, from North, Chris Lenz, from South, Dave Stecker. Tonight's game supervisor, Christopher Corf. Got a good repping crew for this ball game, Chris. Chuck Bladorn's been in the business for a long time. Yep, just on the tip there. Hey, we didn't mention probably the biggest factor. Someone new on the sideline for North. Eric Worth coaching his first North game. Strange after whatever I've been in town, he's always been here. Martin's cutting in, trying to intercept the pass, but knocked it out of bounds. North will keep the possession. You were mentioning about all the famous people in the stands on Saturday. It's pretty much like that here, this ball game. Good cover-up defense by Hamilton. Did we mention Nervs? Yeah, there you go. Sit right there. Yeah, I stole your thunder there. I know you said some Aubrey used to say that, right? What's it? About the first couple of minutes. Oh yeah, that was in the Desatel show. I see the worst basketball go to the first two games of a North-South game. Rank tying up Damkot, he brought the ball down and Mike Rank Jr. hustling right over. But you notice Mike Rank, too, he kind of pushed that ball instead of his traditional good shot that he had.  He can nail that shot.  He looked a little nervous shooting that one. Hamilton from way outside the line couldn't get it. Damkot with a rebound. Ozzy pushing it up. Snellis had it in the middle. Damkot didn't catch that ball clean either. And the ball almost tipped away. Sonante got it. Shot is no good. Snellis with the good hustle. The winner wide open from the corner, nailed it. He leads the league in threes, Marty, and he's just a sophomore, looking him right here on the replay. Shot, good. Had a good look at it. Damkot with the good defense. Hamilton trying to go inside, had to kick it out. Josh Govec on top had it for a minute. Injecting Haasenstein on Hamilton. They put Splitty on Haasenstein on the other and Marty wide open. Sonante was way off of Martin's not respecting him and he made him pay that time. Yeah, it was a good skip pass there. Ozzy, I think, wanted to shoot it, but couldn't get it off in time. Witter from outside the line. He's got another one. Did we mention he leads the league in threes, Marty? I heard somebody say that, but it wasn't really. Listen, was that you? Six, two north on top on the strength of a couple of Witter threes. He's a workaholic, Marty. He's a workaholic. Rank, fake pass, and he nails a three. Good pass, fake. My Mike Rank Jr. First two and a half minutes, been pretty exciting. Here you see Rank. Push. Sinalis cut off by Dylan Martins. They're not even guarding Sonateg, Marty. Oh, could have been a push. Jackson Damkot with a little bit of a push-off. Couldn't get his short jumper to roll in. Rank again, nails it. South on top, eight-six. Just like Dan used to do. Travel. Haasenstein with a travel. That's the right call. Coach Worth is not happy, but I'm sorry, Coach. That was the right call. I think he was more angry with the hazy than he was the official. No, he was letting Coach Chuck Plato know that. Yeah, I agree with you, too. It was a good call. There's that pressure. Early north substitution, Marty. Yep, Sokolowski in the bell game. Govack trying to force it in, got it into Martins, but he couldn't get the short one and he gets the ball right back. And he's traveled. I don't know about that, Marty. A lot of action up on top. I know that's where I was looking. We weren't looking down at the feet. He didn't have time to travel. Early in the ball game, South on top. He stepped out of bounds, Marty. Yeah, court awareness. Coming in the ball game is Brian Seymour. There's a name we didn't mention in the opening, but, you know, he could be one of those guys that could be a difference maker. Good for points off the bench. Govack, a good shot that time by Josh. North on the bust out. Ozzie going right to the lane. He gets fouled. Rank, I think, is going to pick it up. While we talk about Moegan North and Coach Worth, he's been in the big games, brought in Howard Grove to sectional games, so he's well aware of what this situation is and the competitiveness played in this game as did Coach Rank. The pace of this game is considerably different than the first game. And I think we'll see a much closer ball game. Much more competitive. Yeah, both teams, fifth place in their league, three and two. Damcott putting the pressure on Govack. We'll get a chance. We'll be talking about the conference a little bit, Marty, to go along. Hamilton going baseline. He's going to get the foul. Pardon me, draw the foul and score the basket. Could be a three-point play of the old-fashioned way. Watch this. It's a little bit slow there. No Academy Award for Sokolowski. Lorgy in the game now, Marty. I would think Lorgy and Dylan Martins would be a pretty interesting matchup. A couple of raw-bone-type kids. 11-7, Salt. Interesting. Hamilton on Sonales. Wow. Yeah, they started the game that way. Seymour, Lorgy, Damcott. Looked like a carry on the dribble. Nice feed inside. Lorgy couldn't get it in, but he does draw the foul on Dylan Martins. And that's the one thing we talked about in the opening. Dylan Martins has to be on the floor. He can't get those fouls. Lorgy will be shooting a pair. Optinorth going to be come-checking in as is Jared Govack for South. 13-32 left in the first half. Hamilton stepped in, but no call since the free-throw went in. Witter gonna hassle Govack here. Just a freshman. He and his brother, number 23. Ball is tipped away. Govack able to get it back. Split Gerber with a rainbow. Three is no good. The ball tipped away from Witter, but Sonales able to gather it in. First match up right here. Haasenstein forcing it. Couldn't get it. And coming away with the loose ball was Jared Govack. Josh's older brother. He's a kid, too, that plays awfully hard. Hamilton rimmed out. Didn't really set a speed, Marty. A good hustle out there by Lorgy. And a travel on Seymour. Well, Witter hit those two-threes, Marty, and that's all Norse got so far. And a couple of free throws. But you're right, as far as baskets. Hoppy had an open look, but didn't take it. He had a nice game last Saturday, Marty. Josh Govack a little behind the back dribble and kicks it out to Hamilton. Sneaks through. They're calling a foul on the throw floor. I thought that was a great move by Logan. Yep, watch it here. There's the bang. And a good call, too, by the official. Haasen went on his back right there. First. They're just attacking. Haasen is attacking physically. Let's see what happens here now. We got Seymour on the floor. Bodine on the floor. Bodine, Lorgy, did not play last year. Jackson Damcott not in this game a year ago. So see how these young kids went for North and actually seniors, too, that's experiencing how they step up. Govack with a chance to tap onto the lead, but he missed that first free throw. And he's 82% or Marty. Missed them both. Damcott goes high for the rebound. With her spotting up and couldn't get it in. And it gets tipped. They're saying North tipped it out of bounds. Self will get it. Damcott going high for the board, couldn't grab it. Good double screen there, Marty. Sorry for interrupting you. You have a great screen there for Witter. Ethan McLaughlin pushing the ball up the floor, and they never do stop him. Optinor's shot in the lane is no good, but he draws the foul. And again, South getting way deep on North. Just like we saw a couple weeks ago when Notre Dame came back against North and beat them in their place. Moranetz in the ballgame for North. Quinton Boudin also in the ballgame. Two fouls on South, four on North. There's a couple of free throws by the South Siders. Makes it 13-8. 12 minutes left in the first half. Salt definitely out scrapping the North Siders so far, Chris. Boudin stopped off at the baseline, and he throws it in the backcourt. And that's a turnover. North has four fouls, team fouls. South has two. And Poachworth not very happy with something. We're not sure exactly what, but his brother Peter is bringing him over, and now we got a timeout, 30-second timeout by North with the score 13-8. Chris, are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing? I just think South is out hustling North right now. Yeah, and they're getting to the basket, driving there, doing the little things to be successful. I mean, North too, they have five turnovers. Five turnovers in six minutes of play. Got to take care of the basketball a little bit better. I would definitely say that North, excuse me, South is the aggressor. Especially an offensive end as well. Between Jared Splitgerber and Josh Goldbeck, I don't think the Redwings have to worry about North's pressure. They seem to be pretty adept at... The North's the inspired coaching staff has talked to each official already tonight, too. That's what happens when you're losing. Good pass. Optenark working in. Little push shot, didn't go down. The winner got the rebound. North's trying to run it, and they do. Damcott had a wide open three, and didn't even come close. Ethan McLaughlin kicked out to Goldbeck. Bingo! A three ball by Josh Goldbeck. Jared Goldbeck, pardon me. Well done with the miss. Yeah, I see we got a North player down. I think that's the winner. No. Or is that Damcott? Jackson Damcott. Jackson Damcott down. He might have taken a bump to the head. Maybe we can get a replay and see what happened on that. There you go. There's a three. Let's run this out here a little bit. Damcott's over here on your left, Marty. Ozenstein has it there. Damcott is number 21. Looks like he turned an ankle. We'll see him limping off the floor. At first I thought he might have got hit in the head because he put his hands up by his head, but it would seem to be the case. Hopefully he'll be okay. David Summantag back in the game. His dad's going to check on him. His dad's a really good runner, Marty. And his brother is a runner at Oshkosh, too. Cool. Jackson is. Zach Caffeine is in the ballgame for the first time. Number 35. North going to squeeze a little bit on the press here. Good job of getting it in. And to go back. Ozenstein can't get another foul. Pick out pass to McLaughlin. His shot rims off. North only with two baskets on the winter threes, and they got a couple free throws. That was early, too. Yeah, exactly. They haven't scored in a number of minutes. Boudoyne taking it hard to the hoop and scores. Breaks the North throat. Drive in there. The team got to step up and stop that. Optinorth driving to the hoop and scores. Bad defense at that time by the North Siders. See how the attack split. He's done a great job on Ozenstein so far. Boudoyne hard to the hoop. Scores and he's fouled. There's one of those young men we weren't sure how they could handle this, but right there. The North needed some hoops. Foul goes on Zach Caffeine. That's who it should be on. Zach Boudine. Boudoyne on the morn. He's got four points looking for number five. Oh, boy. Hamilton with the rebound. He's had a lot of rest. Martins has had a lot of rest. Ranks had a lot of rest. Three ball by Optinorth. Boudoyne couldn't get it. Martins out-fattles the three North Raiders for it. Whistle underneath. It's going to go on South. Optinorth with the foul. Four team fouls for each squad. There's 9.50 left in the first half. Ranked on Hausenstein. Hausenstein's pretty quick. Good kick out past the winner. He hits another three. Been a long time since we heard from him, but when we have, he's been dead. He's been money. Look at these two young freshmen and a sophomore. Good kick out pass. And Sal throws it in the back court. North can't quite get to it. It's back to back. Turnovers for Optinorth. Got to do a better job taking care of the ball. South with three turnovers. Just put him back in the game to match up against Haasie. Haasenstein, nice bounce pass. So Kalowski puts in the easy shot. North is within one. 18 to 17. Redwing still on top. Haasie, good replay of that. Good job, guys. There's a good match up to Sinalis on Splitty. There's a carry not called. Govac bangos. Long three. Good penetrating pitch. I have South Marty for four threes. Sinalis open from three ball and he puts on him. I have North with four threes. It's raining threes. Good pass and makes it there. Oh, Martin's strong on the rebound. Puts it up and in. He's fired up. His third offensive rebound. Now it's going back and forth again, Marty. Sinalis with a good big dish up to Sokolowski for easy two. Are you staying up with it, Marty? Hardly. Good pass to Martin. He puts it in. Drive penetration and dumps. All the North teams are doing. 25-22. Bedouin looking cool out there. Again, an offensive foul on him. He looks a little tired, Clinton does. He played a good couple minutes though. Maybe they called a travel. No, no, they called it on Bedouin on foul. Oh, there it goes. Up on the board. Josh Govac pressuring it up, gets it inside to Martin for another easy two. He has six quick points, Chris. He's right on the block and they just sit there and wait for the ball to come to him. Witter going hard to the hoop. Had a good look but couldn't get it up and in. The defense by Bedouin on Hamilton. Martin's with another board. Hamilton trying to go one-on-one. And they're going to reload, Marty. Good decision by South. Seven minutes left in the first half. Jared Govac, Martin's passing up the three. Good choice by Dylan. That's a smart basketball right there. He has no threes on the season, Marty. Kicks it inside. He missed the first attempt. And then it gets tipped out of bounds by Sinellis. Dylan Martin's out battling the entire North squad underneath Chris. They don't have anybody that can handle him. Six rebounds for Martin. Five on the offensive, side of the ball. He's got eight points. Lead South in that department. Hamilton got a screen. Rimmed off. Good rebound by Sonantag. Will start for Logan. Kisses it off the glass. Brian Seymour. There's that spark off the bench he talked about. That breaks the South Bedouin. Oh my. Govac for the steal. Couldn't get it. Rank. Ho-ho!  What a weapon to three-point play. And another three by Seymour. He's got it. 30-27, six minutes left. Seymour playing off a rank. Bad place to stop your dribble by the freshman. Govac's got it being guarded by a winner. He looks tired, too, Govac. Yeah, they both look tired. Whistle out here. Who's that going to go on? I think Sonate. Maybe? No? 25. You're right. Oh, 35. Okay. Quinton Bedouin picks up the ball. That's his second. And he's going to sit down. Haasenstein checking back in. And coming in for South is Jared Govac. That's a good choice there. Josh looks a little winded. Yeah, good point. Logan Hamilton just three points for South so far. Got to get him on track. Haasen trying to get position on the big fellow. Split-durber bumped, but no call. Call him out of bounds. North will get it back down three. 5.26 left in the ballgame in the first half. Here's another guy that's got to get on track. Haasen. Seymour. Good call. Yeah. And I remember that from gym class. All his politicking. Seventh turnover on North. I like that matchup with Sokolowski and Martins. The difference is Martins is way stronger than Steve. Yeah, but both of those guys are battlers. Inside to Dylan Martins. He's got another two points. He's having a big night. Whitter on the drive. Couldn't get it. Govac with the rebound. Hamilton on the push. That's a good call, too. That is, I agree. He wasn't there, and when the offensive player is moving... And that's the second foul on Haasenstein, too. We'll see what they do here with Haasenstein and two fouls. Hamilton, one for one from the line tonight. Dan said he's worked a lot on his little things.  You know, he could always shoot. Right. But as Dan said, they've tried this summer to really work on those little things to make him a better overall basketball player. He puts in a pair. It's 35-27. Okay, now Haasenstein comes out with his two fouls. Make it 34-27. See how far this goes here. Haven't heard much from Ethan Somalis either tonight. One-three ball, I think he made, Chris. Yep, one for one. Okay, I was going to say that might be his only shot. Too much dribbling. Got to swing it. Whitter. Nice shot by Whitter. Rainbow three. He's four for four from three-point range. Four of six overall in the game. He's keeping north in it. He's got 12. Jared Splitgerber. Rank, a little bit open. Couldn't get it to go. Whitter with the board. Seymour, quick three. Probably not the best shot in the world. Worked the ball around a little bit. A little bit more. Bonus time for... North. Sokolowski with the foul. That's his second. Sokolowski, Bedouin and Haasenstein all with two fouls each, Chris. Remember from an earlier game, Dylan has a pretty good touch from the line. For a big guy, he's got a real nice follow-through. 78% from the free throw line, Marty. And nobody blocked out Hamilton. It looked like it went off a north player, but they're going to get it. Mike Rank is not happy. And I don't blame him. Yep. I thought two north players actually had a chance to tip that out of bounds. Whitter to Bedouin. Seymour open. Got it. That's a better shot, Chris, because he worked the offense a little bit. Yeah, when he set his feet, his second three pulls north within one.  That's a poor, poor choice. Look at that three. Seymour. One thing that Salt has been really good at, not that possession, obviously, has been moving the ball around, passing it, making the defense move. Yep, that was a very poor decision. Coming in for Salt is Evan Oppenorth. Look at Martins go to the bench, boy. He's tired. He's working hard out there. Seymour directing traffic. That's what's nice about having a senior come off the bench. Whitter being guarded by Rank. Travel. Yeah. Bedouin had the right idea. He got to get the ball on the floor first. Not too many turnovers lately. Too many on north tonight, though. Did you give Logan an up-up turnover? Oh, I didn't see the big T here. T-ing him up, huh? No. Just for turnover. Goalback, drive until the basket and scores. I didn't know if he had the right angle on the backboard there, but he seemed to whittle his way in there. You know, for a freshman, everybody just kind of got out of his way. So go ahead. Sinalis. Not seeing much inside. Kick out to Seymour. That shot off the glass in there. Oh, man. He's feeling it. Yeah, he's feeling it all right. Feeling awfully lucky. Goalback got a reverse layup. Woo! Sighting first half, Marty. It was tied at 36, but South comes right back to take the lead. Whitter a quick release. No good. Bedouin with the offensive board. North reloading. 225 left. Worth falling off. Full-time out. Since it's a full-time out, Chris, we're going to take a long break again. I said a bottle was just a bottle. You never noticed me. I knew I could be more. That one day, I would make people smile. Back at South High School, the Cutie Fieldhouse. There you see it. South up by two. What happened in the flurry here is Seymour came down with a couple of threes. Drew north to within one. South came down and scored on a layup by Goalback. Seymour comes back, nails a three off the glass. That was an excuse me three. That tied it at 36 and right back down the floor within the lickety split of a couple of dribbles. Josh Goalback on a reverse layup, put it up and in and that's where we're at right now. South on top by two. North has it. There's 226 left in the first half. It's been, to say, entertaining is not doing it enough justice. Yes, they're very exciting. North shooting 52% from the floor, Marty. And they're still down. Yeah. Green, it's back in the ballgame for North. North, slowing it down a little bit here. Chris having a little trouble finding an opening. Hope they remain patient. Yeah, unofficially I have North with eight threes, Marty, of those 13 baskets. Eight of 12 from outside the arc. One thing South has done is played awesome defense too. They're making it pretty difficult to get the ball inside. That's one of the issues North is having. They're not getting the ball inside. Ozzie with his two fouls is on the bench and he hasn't been able to drive to the basket. Minute 30 left. Well, interesting. This was up and down and now North decided to, we're going to pull it out and do a little work here. Rainets clears it. Lorgy to the basket and scores. Another country heard from Chris. South at 46% shooting. Five of 14 from three. Josh Goldbeck looking to drive it to the hoop. He's got an opening again. Sinalis with a block. It goes off a go back, but they're going to give it back to the Red Wings. Ethan Sinalis has been around the block a little bit. He's a very experienced. He said one of those blue guys came in split. He's not going to get a lot of points, but do all those little things. And trying to protect Martin's here. I would keep Martin's here on offense. Double screen for rank. And Sinalis read the play and tried to cut the pass off. He did that, but was not able to save it. Sinalis also keep it. 53.9 seconds left. We're all tied at 38. The switch underneath to keep Hamilton from... Hamilton goes the other way and lays it in. What a move. Much better there, Logan. Attacking. 40 seconds left. Nor slowing it down. Just like last time. Eric Worth, I think. Okay with this. Oh yeah, down. Look at it with the basketball. How's he on the bench? Seymour with a three. And it goes off of Lorgie. Yeah, I did. Nor will get it. I threw in more clock in my estimation. Yeah, I agree with you. He's been hot though. He hit his last two threes. Four of six now from the floor. Brian Seymour. Reignitz on the split gerber. 14 seconds. Under 10. And Reignitz with a foul. And the split gerber will go to the line. See now, right here I bring Hasenstein in the game. Seven seconds left. Split gerber with a one in one attempt here. See now, I would not put Martins in the game here. Because now you're on the defensive end. Don't want him to get that second foul late here. But I would have put Hasenstein in here because... For the offense. The gerber can't get it in. Five seconds. Four. Three. Step back.  And that's the half. Salt on top. 40 to 38.

Chris, you got some important numbers for us. Yeah, unbelievable shooting, Marty. Great first half. 48% shooting for North. 50% shooting for South. This is part of it. Brett Witter. He's got four of the eight. Three pointers for Sheboyga North. Eight of 12. Eight turnovers for North Seymour had 11. Brett Witter had 12 for North for South. Josh Golvec had 7. Leroy Hamilton 7. Dylan Martins 10. And Mike Rank Jr. with 9 pretty balanced scoring, Chris. Hey, I like the way we talked in the beginning. You knew about Haasentine. You knew about Hamilton. Yeah, well combined, they have like, you know, 10 points total, you know, between them, some other people, and you know, the Witters, the Ranks, Dylan Martins, we found, you know, so other people that we said we're going to need to have big games are because so far Haasentine and Hamilton have kind of been held down a little bit. Haasie only has one point, Chris, pre-throw obviously, and he hasn't gotten many shots off either. No, and that's Jared Sputkerber. He's averaging 19-2, he's certain he is. Let's see how he comes out here in the second half. He's an excellent basketball player, Zach Cosmestine. Seymour starting the second half for the Raiders. Yeah, because of Haasie. Kick out to Sinalis. His three ball is good. Another three. Is that their first lead, Marty? No, they led early with Witter, that's right. No. They led three to two and six to two. And then at that point South took the lead at 8-6. Yeah, remember Jackson Damkow went out with that ankle injury, so Seymour is now taking over. Seymour had that nice first half with four of six shooting and three-threes, but picked up a silly foul there. 41-40. This has been I don't like to use this word too much, but this has been an awesome game. It is. It is. Hope it stays that way to the end. Go back with a great move. Sinalis went for the fake, but ends up being rewarded with a rebound. Haasenstein open. Quick three. Got the roll. Oh, man. That's ten-threes for North already. And we haven't even played 19 minutes of basketball. North all it quick. Now they're up by four. Split Gerbers being strong with the ball, not letting Seymour or Sinalis take the ball from him. Ranked. Under duress. Missed the shot. Good defense by Witter. I don't think that was a good shot. Right. Agree Haasenstein open for just a second. He nails a three. He's got back-to-back threes, right? Yes, back-to-back threes. Dylan Martins missed a short one, and it goes out of bounds. North will get it. We get a timeout by South. Their first timeout of the game. North on top. Right back. We're trying to resolve our scoring up here. I've got it at 48-40. Apparently, Sinalis' basket to open up the half must have been a two-pointer. And that made it 41. And then the- No, they were down two. 40-38. That's right. They are all threes. North comes out hitting their first three shots. All threes. They're 11 of 15 from three-point range. And we're just starting the second half. Insider doubling up Haasenstein. Kick it out to Witter. His shot is no good. But Sinalis, or pardon me, Seymour comes away with the rebound. Thetaway is good. North on fire. You got that right. They're doing everything right. I think Seymour earned Benchtime, Chris. He only made a two. Pull him out of the game. Ranked with a three. Couldn't get it. South having trouble scoring baskets all of a sudden. Yeah, well South North hit four of their first five. South missed all four. Seymour. Leap and lean are no good. Goldbeck. Hard to the hoop. That's going to be a charge. That's a good call. Watch the replay here coming right into your living room. Oh, he was moving. Oops. Bad call. Wholesale changes for North. Greg's a blocky running. Nat camera right there. Richard Bartzen up here by us. We're not sure who the director is this game. Scott Mailoff or Eric Wiesen. They're doing a great job. Corey Greer. Sergi Mahler to our student helpers. Chris Wright doing the color. I'm Mike Martin doing the play by play. What a start for North. Holy cow. Up by nine. Who'd ever thought? Martin's had it but couldn't quite hang on to it.  You're exactly right. Sakalowski in the game. Martin's abusing him. Pausenstein looking to go a little one-on-one. Splitgarber playing the great defense. And then he picks up the ball. He's a tough matchup. For Splitty I got that as his first foul. Second team foul on the Red Wings. Bedouin had it on the line but didn't take the shot. He backs it out. Quick inside feed to Sakalowski. He missed the bunny shot. Doesn't miss many of those. Hamilton going hard to the roof and he traveled south. Maybe another time out. I would maybe call another time out. Get everything fixed here. Maybe if settle down. Fall the time out. So at least you have the ball. Pausenstein a wild shot. Not necessary too but you got all the mojo. Govac out on top being guarded by Sinalis. Ranked with a pump they couldn't get the shot off. Splitty wants the ball. It's a lot more difficult to get it to you than you think. Hamilton nice step through move put it up and in. Finally. First basket after six misses for south. Four minutes two before they scored the points. Bedouin got around Govac and scores. Clinton Bedouin I like him Chris. He points off the bench. Yep I said that's one of the guys that count on Govac from deep. No good Sakalowski with a good rebound. Good block out on Dylan Martins. Bedouin posting up inside Govac and that's a good call. I think he got the shoulder into him and put him to the floor. I think it was advantage north with Bedouin down deep against Govac though he just got to be a little more subtle on the move. Coming in the ballgame is Govac for north and Opkinorth for north Evan Opkinorth and Jared Govac Splitter being guarded by Witter by Hamilton with a three couldn't get it to go into south continuing to struggle. Yeah and that's a force again Marty. That's a travel not called Sinalis open he nails the three. Hey isn't it interesting in the first ball you're going to have an easy pass. Oh he doesn't attack the basket. Mike Rank got a chance for a layup and pulled it back out. Why not go for the hoop. I was just going to say Marty I was just going to say the first half was all the other players here you're going to see that three by rank all those other players contributed but to start the second half two threes by Haasentine two threes by Sinalis the seniors, the veterans given north their big lead. Haasentine got it down deep against Splitgerber and then tried to take him to the basket and the foul and now they're talking maybe a little too much talking down there I think they're setting up their play Hamilton and Lorgie are going to get a talk into boys there will be no talking in class you will sit down and behave or go to the principal's office Lorgie had a layup and he lost the ball and they're going to get a foul on Logan Hamilton for Logan that's only his second so he's in pretty good shape in that regard we got 12-23 left north up by nine it's just been a total change from the first half 54-46 45 Sinalis wide open couldn't get it in Splitgerber with the long rebound he's going to push it up the floor he finds an opening and goes to the hoop and he's fouled the score is 54-45 did you just see what happened there when he got hit to the floor two north guys that was a hard attack by Splitty he knew he was going to get bumped Splitgerber on the line to shoot two and you said they missed a bunch in the first half they were only five for nine at the free throw line and that was the first free throw of the second half so they're only five out of ten we'll see Jared Splitgerber feels as bad as anybody about not making a free throw got that one 54-46 north up by eight good insight, feed to Hasenstein his jumper down deep is up and in, Hazi's woken up the second half oh yeah, as you knew he would, here he got a steal by Hazi north on the bust out to Sinalis and he draws the foul north is going to go to the line the veteran 11-23 for north did you see that too Chris? no hesitation what's over, boom, right to the basket we're going for it Salt had it at the other end and Mike Rank just didn't push it to the hoop when he could have we talked about South's free throw shooting in the first half north was only two out of five two out of seven, six for the game now Martin's in the game as that is Josh Gobek Sokolowski in for G it's a ten point lead, largest lead of the game for either squad South with an opportunity to chip at that rank looking for the three was not open Optinorth tried to, did eye it up but didn't shoot it Dylan Martin's really quiet in the second half the defense underneath by Sokolowski and then getting the interception was Sinalis South had four turnovers in the second half, they had five in the first so too many for them Gobek Bango, smooth as silk watch it, boom right through the net I'll tell you, ten point lead down to seven just like that clearing out a side for Hasenstein now they get into the offense Seymour with a short jumper couldn't get it in ball knocked away from Gobek Hasi got away with one there could easily been a foul You know what I think a big difference has been North's defense Marty they're stopping to strive penetration I'll tell that one but because Martin's had so much success in that first half because South people would drive and dump to him to get baskets well South is not getting to the basket here in the second half, which is not giving Martin so easy opportunities either, so it's just a spiral effect Right, yeah, you're right Good point, Chris Oh, Martin's lost it on the way up Oh, my Off-Kanorth couldn't get it and Witter tapped it out of bounds Martin looks a little more inspired this trip down Chris, he's really hustling He's trying to get open and it's been tough for him North, he lost it Well, I was going to say the last he was open, he should have made that on the in-bounds play, he's wide open underneath nobody's guarding him Gobek had the ball tapped away Hasi is going to pick up the foul three fouls on Zach Haasenstein There's 10-17 left What can we do? Let's bring Seymour back in Haasenstein Big, big impact here in the second half Nine points in the game for Zach Eight of them in the second half 12-17 from three for North on the three-pointers Crazy South creeping back in No 56-51 was a 10-point lead down to five North has been silent for the last few minutes going, driving to the hoop, couldn't get it in, fighting for the rebound but knocked it out of bounds, South will have it back Good effort there, it was a good shot attempt Good attack by Cube Gobek's trying to get it Jared is the one that gets it What was that, Josh? He stepped through that He lays it up and in Nicely up that time by Jared Gobek Very athletic move, look at that And North with a time out With 9-46 remaining North up by only three It's a long break Back at South High School's Fieldhouse South making a run, Chris They've gotten 4-7-8-9-10-11 to two run on the Raiders Wow, they survived there North still shooting almost 50% I have 21 for 43 Just a tick under 50% South struggling in the second half just I thought it was South struggling, I was going to say 33% in the quarter and just down by three now Both teams continuing to play a man-to-man defense See if Sonales can get open here There he goes Kick out to Seymour Runner in the lane He rolls it in That breaks the string of empty trips for the Raiders That was a big hoop, Chris 15 points North-South game We always look for those heroes who set it in the opening Some of those guys that are You went count on Optinorth couldn't get it Martins kicks it out to Goldbeck Couldn't get it in Evan Optinorth knocked it away from Sonales out of bounds North will get it with a 5-point lead 8-53 left in the ballgame Fouls are even out tonight too, Chris A lot of people in the field house Excellent basketball game, Marty Josh Goldbeck Bedouin on the arm knocked the ball out of bounds and Thinking it has an arm too Oh yeah, big time Bedouin looked at him at the official short jumper by Witter is no good That's Goldbeck's fifth Jared that is Witter's been missed his last four baskets Witter with the steal on the questionable pass by Jared Goldbeck We're spreading it out a little bit Oh yeah, 5-point lead now and the basketball Look at him go Bedouin got it and he's fouled Quinton Bedouin Another one of those song heroes, Chris and Brian Seymour Fouls on Hamilton is third Wow Bedouin with 8 points a chance to kick it up to 9 I'm not as surprised by Seymour because he is a pretty good points guy off the bench Bedouin couldn't get it in either I'll tell you, North is just terrible at the free throw line Hamilton Couldn't get it to the hoop Give it to Goldbeck He wants to go another good defender Ranked shot is no good Witter got around Goldbeck steps by the other defender and lays it up and in Witter 60-53 62-53 Yeah, it looked like South was making a run and now they can't do anything right again Sinalis lays it in Hamilton had a back off of him, Chris, with his two fouls three fouls Coach Rank was going to say, you're going to call timeout you better Guys, can you replay that last layup by Sinalis Hamilton just picked up his third and now he's got a guy with the ball running right at him, watch this right here There wasn't a whole lot he could do yet There wasn't actually Logan, there was a different kid down there But yeah I guess North has weathered the storm at least so far There's still 7-29 left Got within five call timeout who came out with more assertive Not the home team that was assertive, it was Shabuigan North Been three It was 56-53 North called a timeout They've run out You're right But we got a whole quarter here's Witter Yeah, there he went by Splitty there Ethan Sinalis, three of four here in a quarter Sackhausen signed three of four each of them with eight points Pen the spark and then you get the Brian Seymour and Quentin Bedouin The thing about South is they just aren't shooting well like they did in the first half No At least North looks pretty comfortable running the break or slowing it up in the half-court 28% shooting for South in the second half after shooting 50% in the first half Josh Goldbeck being guarded by Sinalis The thing with North is they are over 50% shooting, they've been hot all night And when you're hot from three it makes it doubly difficult for the other team by Bedouin and the ball kicked away with a good hustle and North has it Seymour hard to the basket scores and he's fouled and Mike Rank not liking the call it looks like a call that could have gone either way Chris Seven turnovers for South in the second half as well Five and 35, that's been your heroes Let's see if Seymour can make a free throw Why not 67 53 This has been quite a run the second half of this second half Haasenstein and Hamilton getting to know each other on the defensive end Rank from way outside and a whistle underneath who's going to get the foul Whatever was going on underneath that official didn't like it I think it's going to go on Brian Seymour checking out of this game Yeah, he's got red cheeks He's not working hard He lost his dad a couple years ago a wonderful, wonderful man I'm sure he's looking down right now Hamilton wide open from the corner nails it breaking the string Logan Hamilton Still six and a half minutes Marty Logan with 12 Rank with 12 Golbeck with 12 Martins with 10 great balance scoring by the Red Wings Josh Golbeck with 12 Whitter in the lane put it up and in Norse won in the offense the perfection there They are red hot Hazy playing the tough defense Hamilton scores and is fouled They're going to give it to him He's a stud Hazy with four follows Chris He's going to have to go out with a 5-52 left Seymour comes back in I know Hazy's had a tough night scoring you know he thinks he should have more than nine so do we but he got Norse started off right early in the second half Hamilton finishes off the three point play it's a ten point north lead 45 left in the game Seymour kicking it out to Whitter he's wide open couldn't get it going with a strong rebound absolutely again Senelis with a three oh my goodness how do you beat somebody like that Chris they just there raining them everything they do is going in shooting about 52 percent I have Marty just went south looks like they're going to North Nails a three Martins looked like he wanted to stuff it but did crawl in for it here's the pass, Martins first layup like that in the entire second half Norse done a great job controlling Martins clearing out the side for Seymour the defense played by Split Gerber pardon me that was Josh Goldbeck spin move by Seymour no good, Sokolowski with the rebound Senelis with another three from the corner this time there raining them you got that right 14 point north lead I have over 14 threes Marty north that is Martins thought he had it but he bounced it off his foot it goes out of bounds and he's curtain we got a full time out guys with the 426 top 75 61 will be right back there's one thing you can never have sex with that or something you take in fact there's only one way to get it it has to be given to you freely it's consent because sex without it isn't sex it's rape consent if you don't get it you don't get it so take the pledge at itsonus.org we just got word Chris we got to get this out to the community Scott Maloff is our director of this game 14 threes for north they had 8 in the first half, 6 so far here in the second half and I think they're shooting over 50% from 3 14 of 21 from 3.66 so salt a couple times we're going to crawl right back in they got it to 56.53 north called a timeout and then ran off I think it was 8 points in a roll 9 points and just been very tough for salt to recover because they make a 2 and north makes a 3 south just 7 of 24 from 3 which is still a good night but my gosh and you got the other team 3 times as many and now north going to be content to run some clock with 4 minutes left Marty rank guarding winner winner pulls it out under 4 minutes left in the ball game and rank with the follow that's going to be the 8th follow on south winner will go to the line north has not done themselves any favors with their free throw shooting tonight they were only 2 for 5 in the first half and they are all 1 for 4 here in the second winner puts it down this is what they were in the first half 2 for 5 so far this half they're 2 for 5 shooting 50% from the floor in the second half 49% for the game 16 point lead is the largest lead of the ball game wow who would have thought Marty really go back take some to school and scores the question is it is too late there you see them go right by Seymour for the layup this is the end they're going to have to take care of business south if they want any chance but Sinalis who's been red hot thought about it Padoin looking to go to the basket does and scores 2 and Seymour go back inside a whistle stops action I think they're going to get Sinalis for the foul before I mentioned Chris that go back drove right around Seymour to Brian's defense he got absolutely no help from his teammates underneath everybody was looking the other way against Josh go back there you see him pretty hard to just go one on one with him you got to get some help still give a lot of credit to the defense in the second half by North Marty they really stopped the drive penetration which forced south to take threes which they weren't making and then kind of basically eliminated Dylan Martins Dylan Martins is just one of three in the second half after being five of seven in the first half he had five offensive rebounds in the first half alone Marty none really he had ten first half points he's got 12 in the game which means he's only scored two this half just one basket how many rebounds you got him for total for Dylan I have seven but he had those five offensive rebounds in the first half none in the second half Sinalis feeling it Martins goes over Witter and they're going to get Witter with the fall interesting it's time for him to pick up a fall he did that's his first one the whole game has he been playing any defense alright now loud now I said Dylan was a pretty good free throw shooter I'm not going to say that this time I think I jinxed him the last time he was on the line there we go Logan Hamilton with 15 Dylan Martins with Witter with the rebound he's had a few rebounds here in the second half to Chris yes he has good observation he's got three five in the game three in the second half here's been a spark plug 240 and a fall Sinalis will go to the line I don't think I want to follow him been there done that in the state tournament I would rather appearance is important the Golbeck brothers come in a pair of Golbecks a pair of Golbecks Sim Safford on the mic tonight for an ulcer boy Chris you're a pretty smart guy you know who not to fall tell ya south looked real good in this house on three straight conference games and north with that fast starting that second half themselves could make a basket to get going and north couldn't miss 80 to 66 Golbeck for three couldn't get it Sinalis with the strong rebound kick it out to Hasenstein he goes around the defense but the rank picks up the fall I think that should have been a pass what do you think I think he did the right thing okay I'll defer to you then and that was the 10th team fall it'll be two shots each time to the line now with that free throw Hasenstein now at 10 Seymour with 18 Sinalis with 18 Witter with 18 Bedouin with 10 Hasenstein 10 and he taps it away and gets it back Witter followed by Hamilton 15 left South I have for just seven baskets Marty in the second half oh that's uh 2-3 I was wrong 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 I'm sorry 3, 3's and then 5, 2 Medusa is Medusa the multi-headed monster in Greek mythology because that's what North has five guys in double figures Witter with 19 for 20 hard to win basketball games when you get that kind of production Witter 13th in the league in scoring just a sophomore as we said he's first in the league in 3's started off the game hitting 4-3 in the first half Hamilton scores inside good pass he's up to 17 but as they say they think it's going to clock 15 points down with 2 minutes left you can play the fall game but if North starts making their free throws as they have been difficult Bedouin on the line Quentin with 10 they've been better at the end of the game this particular game Chris the early part the early part of the second half is wow 83-68 150 left Hamilton with just his third rebound Logan Hamilton just muscling his way in there I think that's going to be it for Hasenstein nope Witter could have called a bunch of guys there yeah exactly Logan has 17 points leads South scoring again on a fish line South in the second half too that didn't help the cause not making baskets and turning the ball over on the counter side I have North for just 2 turnovers in the second half can't make free throws it's an else with another rebound and a quick fall I have 5 rebounds for Ethan Opkenorth only the TV guys get to call him Opie fairly good free throw shooting at least for North they made 6 out of 8 6 out of 10 6 out of 12 well 6 out of 11 unless he misses this then it's 6 out of 12 their last 12 leaving the door open Chris 135 left Frank with a quick release he nails a 3 he's been about the only one that's been able to make him tonight that's easy lead to 11 83-72 129 left next week Sheboygan, Christian and Luther yes sir Friday nights and that game will be at Sheboygan Connie Christian High School we looked forward to doing that game just like we look forward to doing all the games right Chris I mean we enjoy doing this I was excited all day earlier as I said I went out to con saw the truck out here it's been a very entertaining game I mean if you like 3 point shooting this was your game ebb and flow back and forth I would say if there was one thing that was bad not just one thing but bad was the free throw shooting other than that I think most respects this is a very good game well played game there's not a lot of those have there been too many for South in the second half that's not a good now there's a case where if you're a smart player you either call a time out or you step through you don't just let it tie up a little inexperience there get that turn over that's just the third on North Goldback being guarded by Bedouin gotta go to the rack Ozzie's time's got 4 Ozzie's out of the game that's the right move on him Haasenstein with number 5 he'll finish his night with 10 points big big spark there right we mentioned that started with 3 by Sinalis and then 2-3's by Zach Haasenstein and that really propelled North double bonus time here oh gosh out of the game is Mike Rank Jr I have a 5 of 12 from 3 point range it's a pretty good night for him 1 for 2 trip cuts the lead to 10 with still 117 left it's not over those all add up and a quick fall we're gonna get that on I think Dylan Martins a lot of offense yeah it's substituting here Chris yep Mike Rank Sr some more 3 point shooters out there Rainets a little ball handling well I think they're kind of countered with the 3 point guys so a little more speed okay alright I think a little cover up because they got basically their shooters out they took Martins and Goldback out of the bigger guys so there's a counter there by Coach Worth Hamilton trying to get in there Hamilton drives through the crowded scores he has 21 oh stole it away by Split Gerber Hamilton kick out couldn't get it in Hamilton with the rebound Rank open he wants the ball Hamilton not throwing it to him 10 point lead under a minute 46.3 North's gonna have it I'm bringing the defenders back in Jared Goldback Dylan Martins Rank and Hamilton sit down oh you got a steal there and you didn't get a basket that just was a painful situation two guys in the same spot that's the guy to foul I wouldn't foul Bedouin pretty clutch up there he missed his last two that means he's due actually he was 0 for his last two and 0 for one before that and 0 for one before that money he's got 11 points and we mentioned about Seymour with his 18 I mean those are two guys I mean you expect some points from Seymour but 18 wow Bedouin makes two 12 point lead for North Goldback couldn't get it in Splitgerber with the rebound steps through scores and is fouled Jared Splitgerber what a move South's running out of time Marty oh for sure but Martins comes back and scores and is fouled it's his first offensive rebound Marty in the second half Martins will be at the line shooting South's missed a lot of free throws Marty Martins with just a second basket in the half don't have time Goldback has stepped up there Reignitz that's going to do it 24 seconds left deep three is no good it goes out of bounds North will have it with 17 point two seconds left it's 89-80 North on top trying to get it and they get a foul with 13 seconds left Seymour will be the guy going to the line 30 second time out I believe that's by North Chris went down to the floor to get a couple of interviews 89-80 13 seconds left South tried to answer but North was always up to the task our next basketball game we'll mention this before we'll mention it again will be next Friday, January 20 when Sheboygan Lutheran heads over to Sheboygan Christian for the Holy War by the shore Seymour is followed by Josh Goldback Seymour can make this one he's going to have a 20 point game in the North South game that's going to be a memory that he'll have for a lifetime 91 points for the Raiders, 80 for South there's no slouch Hamilton from three ball land couldn't get it Goldback is followed by Witter he'll be shooting three I believe Witter that's his fourth oh boy consistency on free throws has been lacking North has been a little better like I mentioned towards the end of the ball game but they've struggled to South has been a little better but that's not good enough in a game like this you got to be a lot better than your opponent 3.6 seconds left Goldback makes two of three he's got 18 points ball is tipped away Split Gerber shot no good and that's going to be the ball game Sheboygan North the winner 91 to 82 come on when we come back from the commercial breaks Crystal have a couple of the Golden Raiders for an interview I'll wrap it up from up here and then we'll call it a night everybody has a dream wants to see the ocean you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent there are thousands of teens in foster care who don't need perfection being closer to nature can get you closer to your family go to discovertheforest.org smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child's life take time to be a dad today back here with Ethan Snell Brent Whitter people paid a little admission it was a lot of fun tonight oh yeah great game good team win and we pulled it out pulled it out 14-3s you guys are just raining them tonight oh yeah that's what we're going to be doing our teammates did a good job finding us Mark and we dropped them well you started them early and then these guys got them later but boy it just makes such a difference for the game when you guys can hit all those 3s and when you don't make the 3s it doesn't go so good but it's got to be fun when they're going in yeah see our offense is getting a little stinging at the end but I mean we got a couple good shots and they really pulled it out for us and how about Ethan you know I said at halftime all the kind of guys that weren't in this game a year ago all participate and Ethan and Zach come out to start the second half and BAM I mean it's nice to get those senior guys making those big buckets oh yeah I mean a lot of veterans here I mean they're very good leaders they helped me and other other guys out and I mean helped us get this W yeah it was a very entertaining brand it was what did coach say at halftime because close game like that and quick start to the second half just what you wanted thanks for going off the way we wanted it to in the first half and we're only down by two so Zach did a great job getting this pumped up Ethan and coach and we all we all came together and said we got this well congratulations here Ethan you've been in this game before like that there's some new guys here that haven't been here but how about Brian Seymour and Quentin Bedoin didn't even play last year what a bunch of heroes out of nowhere huh yeah they've been working hard in practice they really have a lot of talent and it was just getting out on the floor and being able to show it and obviously tonight they did and they're able to help us a lot down the stretch and throughout the game yeah we kind of said in the opening who's going to be the heroes like that here's two guys that we said that you know you don't always count on stepping up it's got to be just great for those guys yeah and in these rivalry games there's always an X factor that comes out of nowhere and just scores and helps and puts the team to victory and you know those two are really big for us tonight two just a little technical stuff you know your defense in the second half too it seemed like Sal got a lot of drive penetration in the first half and then kind of dumped down to big Dylan Martins you guys really took away the drive penetration he was almost to limitate there but the defense really stepped up again in that second half yeah in that first half we weren't our sharpest on defense so we knew if we were going to pull out the W we needed us to pick it up on D and that's where our offense starts from because then we can get in the transition that's actually yeah and you know like Dylan Martins too first half he had like five offensive rebounds I don't think he got one until like the last two minutes here you kept him off the glass too yeah we pride

His face showed restrained rage and vindictiveness that scared me, and I wasn't even the one he was mad at. Sexy time with a loved one is considered one of the most beautiful experiences. Yet, revenge can be just as passionate. Especially when both go hand in hand.  A serial rapist is served to vengeful victims and an abusive and incestuous husband impregnates daughter and receives unforgiven judgment through his wife. The last wholesome story is about a creepy youth minister falling into a deep pool of regret. Naturally, viewer discretion is advised. These revenge acts might be disturbing to snowflakes. I met Jane after ending a long-term relationship. I didn't think I'd want to date again, but Jane and I really clicked and it was such a nice escape. We hung out as friends before moving on to dating, and within six months we had moved in together. I had long since gotten over my ex, and Jane and I were doing great and regularly talking about the future. I was fairly socially awkward and only had a few good friends before meeting her, whereas she had a large circle of acquaintances and friends she introduced me to, who became good friends of mine as well. About a year into our relationship Jane informs me that she had a one-night stand with someone she had met at the bar. Begs for forgiveness, says she's so sorry, that she wasn't used to alcohol, all the usual excuses. Me not wanting to lose this relationship too, and having invested so much time thinking about my future with this girl, believes her. It wasn't easy, and I ended up in therapy for my anxiety but we worked through it after a lot of talks and crying and long nights, gradually rebuilding trust after she reassured me regularly that I was the one for her and she was still committed to our relationship. I confided in a few close mutual friends, who kept it to themselves. Everything seemed back on track, and I thought we healed. Another year passes when I notice Jane seems off, she's gone more often, more secretive of her phone, I'll wake up to find her on the computer instead of in bed. Red flags flying. One weekend she tells me she's going to her mother's to help her with spring cleaning. I don't really get along with or speak to her mother. Her mother is an incredibly religious woman who was already upset with Jane for living with me before marriage and a few other personal decisions on her end, and feels as if she has control over her life due to financially supporting her, which is why I assumed she figured it'd be a safe bet I wouldn't talk to her mom. A few hours after she left, I called her a few times and it went right to voicemail, meaning her phone was off. So I called her mother knowing she wouldn't answer me, and left a voicemail asking if Jane had made it to her house safely, it had been hours and I hadn't heard from her. Few minutes pass and she calls me back, tells me that she called Jane and couldn't get an answer, as I knew she wouldn't. Started asking when she left, etc. I told her she left that morning to help her with spring cleaning. This was new to her mother, who never spoke to her about that. Her worrying about Jane had her thinking. I sit there thinking about what I'll tell Jane when she speaks to her mom and has time to think of an excuse. She gets home later that night, and seems totally nonchalant.  Perfect. I ask her how her day went, she tells me how much she hates dusting, there was so much on the top of the cabinets she emphasized. And how they had to carry stuff down to the basement, an elevator would have been nice, all that good stuff. I then decide to let her know I was aware she hadn't been to her moms. Long story short, she admits to cheating on me again, and had been since I had forgiven her for the first time. While I was dealing with the anxiety and insecurity, while she was reassuring me it would never happen again and I was the only one for her, while we talked about buying a place and all our goals she was sexy timing around with the same dude, mostly online but had met up with him every so often for quick sexy time during the day. I basically shut down entirely, and went to stay with a friend and told Jane it was over. The more I thought about it, the more my sadness turned to anger, and the stupider I felt for giving her a second chance. I had wasted two years of my life and made myself vulnerable to someone I fell in love with, who I thought loved me, and made a fool of me. Jane was inconsolable, calling me, my friend who I was staying with, texting and threatening to show up in hopes of fixing it. She was on the verge of a breakdown, claiming she'd do anything, talk to therapists, give me total access to her accounts, anything she could do to make it right. To take back the past. Which is when I saw the opportunity to get back at her. I told her I wanted to be able to forgive her, but big changes needed to happen in order for me to do that. She jumped at the opportunity. I told her I needed to be sure she was serious about our future. First, I wanted to look at renting a bigger place, somewhere without bad memories. We were month to month, so gave my landlord notice and asked her to go through the process of securing us a new lease elsewhere as I couldn't handle it right then. I then told her that if we're going to learn to trust again, I want to start taking steps towards an engagement. This time I emphasized, I don't want to focus on the past. If I do I'll want to leave. I just want to focus on the future. Also the first step should be a joint account. That I still trust her with finances, to which she agreed. I deposited a few hundred into the account, told her I had spent the rest of my savings on paying two months' advance rent to my buddy I was staying with and he'd give it back to me in installment since I'd be moving out sooner than planned. Now that this was set up, I figured I wanted to ruin her social life. But I knew it would take some more plotting to do that. So I told her to come back to our apartment. And we stayed there waiting out the end of the month. We cried together, she was overwhelmingly affectionate, let me watch her delete her social media pages, made me breakfast most days. She was just so sorry. I wanted to scream at her so badly, but instead I'd ask for comfort and reassurance, and play the wounded animal. We had plenty of makeup sexy time too, which is the only thing I feel slightly guilty about. She was sure to be extra adventurous for my sake, so when I asked if I could take some photos she was all for it. During this time, I had been distant from our mutual friends, turning down invites and saying things like Jane wouldn't want me to go, or asking a few one-on-one for advice for how do they handle it when their partner gets mad? Here and there I dropped questions like, does your partner ever break stuff or slap you? No no, Jane would never do that. I was just wondering. Then, shortly before we planned to move into the new place, I had cold feet. Told her I didn't think I could do it. That I just didn't trust her. She was frantic, pleading with me not to leave again and begging for something she could do to fix it. So I told her I believed our social circle put her up to it. She swore up and down that no one had any idea. But I asked how could I believe her? She lied to me twice before, I don't trust her around them. That a fresh start means new people in our lives too. That I'd never feel comfortable again as these people I don't know if I can trust were still around. I wore her down until she agreed to ghost them all. But that wasn't enough for me. I told her that I needed the bridge to be burnt, because I don't trust them. So I had her rejoin and send a message to the group chat complaining about fake friends, fact-stabbers and how she was better without them, then block them all. She cried for a long time over that, but if it was what I needed to stay, she'd get over it.  To which I told them it was complicated and I'd talk soon. Few more days pass, and it's time to move into the new place. We spend the day moving some things in, and Jane is practically giddy talking about our future plans. I tell her to pick up anything she needs from her moms, and I'm going to get some stuff from my parents' place and we'll meet back at the apartment that night. As soon as she leaves, I call my friend and we pack up everything I had brought over and take it back to his place. Then I message my friends, telling them Jane had been abusive the last few months, which is a lie, a reason for why I didn't go out, and that the reason she had blocked them is because she thought I told them and that they were telling me to leave her. I then went to the bank and drained our joint account, which had about $400 from me and about $3,700 and some change from her.  Just thought you should know what your slutty daughter and that piece of do-do get up too. And lastly, I had my friend hit me in the eye twice, swelling it up, then blocked Jane and asked two of our mutual friends to meet up with me. And just like that, it was over. I told them how Jane had become mentally and physically abusive for over the past few months after I caught her cheating. I showed them the screenshots of her chats with this guy. I told them I had kept quiet to keep the peace, how she lashed out at all of them when she thought they had been helping me behind her back. How it was so out of character. How she threw a remote at me and swelled my eye when we were moving, and that's when I knew I needed to leave, and why I needed to take the money to get to safety. Jane showed up to my friend's house looking for me, while he told her I had moved and would call the cops if she showed up again while I hid upstairs. Heard how she frantically tried to find me to figure out what was happening and reached out to our mutual friends to make amends and tell them it was all my idea, only to discover the ones I had been talking to and subtly alluding to being abused for weeks as well. As the ones who remembered me coming to them after the first time she cheated, and the ones who had seen my eye, had passed along the information to her entire social circle and she was met with threats, insults and being ghosted by everyone she knew. How she told the last mutual friend she spoke to before he ghosted her that her mother had said she'd pray for her and cut her off financially for living an unhealthy lifestyle until she can smarten up after seeing the photos, which she can't prove I've ever sent as her mother certainly wouldn't have kept them, and that she's severely depressed. She's trapped in a six-month lease with zero money, no friends to rely on, and no one to help her stay afloat aside from maybe her former fling should she run to him. I'll be using her money to cover rent on a new apartment for myself, and bought my friend a nice gift for being my accomplice in this. I plan to stay in therapy, both to get over this and to work through my feelings and how low I stoop to get revenge, as I don't want to carry this negativity with me in the future. I know royal AI would salute this. After that, I plan to relearn how to be single and enjoy life on my own, with the friends I inherited to keep me company. So when I got out of the navy in 1958, like many young men I joined a fraternity.  Brad was a four-time legacy from our fraternity.   He always got super drunk at the parties and got handsy with other people's girlfriends. Now his dad was a political figure in Sacramento, and his mother's father worked in the California system of higher education. Brad knew that he was untouchable and wasn't afraid to let you know. Brad in 1959, crashed three cars because he drove drunk. His parents bought a new Cadillac each time because he claimed, someone stolen crashed his. When his parent bought him a Buick convertible, he said that he has a reputation to uphold and doesn't want people to think that he is poor. A couple of months into the fall semester and Brad is drunkenly harassing women at the party, even saying lewd and suggestive things to them.  Some of us go and leave Brad to himself. Hours later we see a girl leaving Brad's room. I'm thinking in my head she doesn't want to be seen taking the walk of shame. She just cries while covering her face and holding her shoes. I knock on Brad's door and he says, ready for round two.  When he sees that it is me he put his clothes on. I ask why that girl was crying and he said, how the frick should I know? But she was blonde, tan, tight. I ignore him but I tell another brother what happened.  A couple of days later police came to our house and arrested Brad for rape. Apparently, they were watching him because 13 other girls were accusing him. Now Brad had this birthmark on his private parts. So the statements from the girls were taken into account and he was arrested. The evidence was undeniable, especially with the details that the girls were giving regarding Brad.  This was without him knowing, and is important later. So we in one of the sororities on campus started a support group for the victims. Girl 1 was saying how Brad made her feel and that she wanted to get back at him.  So one of our brothers, Ralph, said, well why don't you? When he comes back to the house, we can take him somewhere and you can have some time with him. In the desert, alone. So mere days after Brad was arrested, he was bailed out with the help from mommy and daddy, and he came back to the house. We started lying saying how we know that the charges were BS. Brad said, yeah, my dad has a whole team of lawyers representing me, this is going to go away fast. Brad gets drunk but Ralph drugged him. Ralph and some of the other guys proceed to drive 3 hours east from the coast into the California desert. Ralph and some of the other guys meet the 9 of the 13 girls in the desert. They wake up Brad, who is still somewhat drunk and push him out of the car.  Brad cries out to Ralph and the other guys saying, you can't leave me here alone. They answered, you aren't alone, you have plenty of company, and you know everybody. The guys drove off and the girls came back to campus 3 hours later.  Us guys never knew what became of Brad. But to this day when we see the remaining girls that are living, we never ask. When finishing up my degree in criminal justice, we had to learn about how the justice system works and how sometimes it doesn't. For about 2 weeks we studied a case from the early 90s of a woman that had killed her husband. Because the case is public record and a very interesting read look up Betty Freeberg 1993. The setting was small town Iowa and the husband was the town drunk. Everyone in town knew him for a drunk, a brawler, a womanizer and overall just a bad person. His wife was the stay-at-home mom as she wasn't allowed to work or leave the house aside from getting groceries.  Neighbors were a quarter mile down the road, but still would call the police when they heard noises.  Each time he got out he'd beat her up again. Their daughter was away at college but came home for Thanksgiving. While the father was at work, the daughter told the mother that her father had violated her sexually and that she had even had an abortion because of it. This was the breaking point for the mother. She got her revenge 100 fold. When her daughter went back to school after the holidays and husband came home, she killed him with his gun at the kitchen table. The table is important because it was a big farm table used for chopping up deer and other livestock. Doing the butchering was her job and she was good at it. If I could find the case report, it has pictures of the table and clear marks of chopping.  Months went by and winter came and left. Police investigating his disappearance even questioned her while sitting at the table drinking coffee. She explained the marks on the table by explaining that she butchered her own meat and showed the officers her deep freeze. The investigation went on for months until a neighbor's dog brought back a body part. They identified it as belonging to him and she was arrested on the spot. She plead not guilty and refused any offers. It went to trial and 12 of her peers judged her not guilt due to extenuating circumstances. She confessed to the crime, explained why and how she did it, and that she had no real choice because no one was going to help her. The farm was hers and she refused to give it up as it had been her family's home. She was let go entirely for the murder charge. The next week we had Betty as a speaker to the class to discuss the case and she was awesome. At the time she ironically sold dismemberment insurance for Affleck. Betty if you ever read this, know your scene as a figurehead for battered women and you pulled off the best revenge I have ever been able to study. About six to seven years ago, I was a ministerial student at a conservative Christian college. I had attended the same Bible believing church since I was a small child. It was large, about 1000 members, but not a mega church. This church had been an enormous part of my life for as long as I could remember. I played piano for youth choir, preached at the children's church service, drove the church bus to pick up unchurched children, etc. I did all of this for free, not even getting reimbursed for expenses. During my senior year in college, we got a new minister of music, education and youth. This guy was as charming as an ice cream sundae with razor blades in it. I'll call him Mr. Charming. All of the deacons, and their wives, thought he walked on water.  In his first meeting with the church youth group, he announced that he had been hired to straighten out the youth group. One of his favorite sayings was, when I tell my disciples jump, the only questions they get to ask are how high and how far. The adults loved him and the youth hated him. Within a few weeks, half of the high school and college students had quit coming to church. Most youth directors would have gotten into trouble over this, but he had the audacity to proclaim, in front of the entire congregation in the Sunday morning worship service, that he had eliminated all of the thorny ground from the youth group. It happened to be a reference to the Bible, and the pastor and all of the deacons loved him for it. He didn't waste any time going after what he really wanted, the pastor's job.  Within a few weeks of Mr. Charming's arrival, rumors started circulating about Pastor T's health, even though he was an avid runner and cyclist, and that he just didn't seem to be as mentally sharp as he used to be. This was strange because he frequently quoted long Bible passages, entirely from memory without mistaking a single word. Worst of all, however, was the accusation that pastor T was too liberal for the church.  None of these accusations made any sense, but people kept talking about them. I have no idea why pastor T didn't find out. Or maybe he did find out and was just too scared to do anything about it. Each church calls the minister. This guarantees that every pastor always walks a razor's edge, the slightest slip and you're out. You don't even have to slip.  And since the church owned his house, his entire family was suddenly homeless. Then I became a target. I still don't know why. A couple of months after starting to work for my church, Mr. Charming called me and informed me that my services were no longer needed at youth choir, children's church, bus ministry, anywhere. In fact, he said he did not even want me to participate in any of these functions at all. Not even go to the Sunday morning worship service. I later found out that members of his family had been hired by the church, at very nice rates of pay, to perform these functions that I'd been doing for free. His wife got paid more for playing a beat-up piano than the main pianist got paid for playing at more gatherings. This lady radiated bitterness, resentment and repressed anger. But she rarely said anything. She just sat there and glared, which was somehow even creepier than when she spoke. I was very hurt, emotionally, so I dropped by pastor T's office, and tearfully asked him what I'd done wrong. I couldn't get a straight answer, except he told me that, people are saying things about me and that if I wanted to get a good recommendation from him, I'd better shut up and do what I'm told. So, I started asking all of my church friends what people were saying about me. Everyone, everyone, said, well, I didn't want to tell you, and I don't believe it, but here's what I heard. According to the rumor mill, I had gotten my girlfriend pregnant and forced her to have an abortion, I hadn't even had a girlfriend. And I'd been arrested for possession of marijuana and my dad had to pay a bunch of money to hush it up, while I didn't even know what pot looked like. There were other rumors, but you get the idea. I did what pastor T told me to. I never darkened the door of that church again. Except once, months later.  I devoted my life to that church since I was a little kid. But I had to have pastor T's recommendation to get into the minister's school I wanted to go to, and the pain was unbearable just driving by there. So I decided to keep my distance. But I started thinking about Mr. Charming. Anyone who was that evil had to have a past, and it probably wasn't a good one. I knew that, just before working for my church, he had worked at a large church, in the same denomination, in a small town about 50 miles away. That church was actually about twice the size of my church. So he had moved from a big church to the same job at a smaller church. A bad career move? Running away from something? Yes, there was something rotten in Denmark. And it smelled like an opportunity for me. As luck would have it, one of my uncles, and his family, lived in that same small town, although none of my family attended Mr. Charming's former church. So I called one of my cousins, told her my story, and enlisted her as a co-conspirator. I'll call her Ann. The next Sunday morning, Ann and I attended Sunday school and morning worship at Mr. Charming's old church. Although Ann had never been a member of that church, it was a small town where everyone knew everyone, so she knew most of the people there. She started asking about Mr. Charming, and got an earful. Every one of her friends said that Mr. Charming was a world-class creep. He would flirt with, and even make suggestive comments to all of the girls in the youth group, even those in junior high. He was 40-plus years old and had a wife and three children of his own. And then there was the touching. Never anything obvious or illegal. But he loved to put his hands all over the young ladies, whenever their parents weren't around. But, just like at my former church, the adults loved him because he kept the youth in line. Our investigation went on for several weeks. I kept a low profile so as not to arouse suspicion. Mostly, I just stood around, ate donuts, drank coffee, and talked about football. Ann did most of the work because she knew so many people and it was perfectly natural for her to attend this church in her hometown. After church was over, we would go to her house, have a delicious Sunday lunch cooked by my aunt, and then write down everything we had learned. By then, Ann's whole family were in on my investigation. They were as angry as I was about the way I'd been treated, and our weekly report made interesting lunchtime conversation. Within a few weeks, I was sure that all I had to do was drive a few of these young ladies, and their parents, down to my old church, let them tell their stories to the parents of a few girls in the youth group, and Mr. Charming would become Mr. Unemployed. But it kept getting better and better, so Ann and I kept digging. And I really wanted to keep a low profile if I could, because I didn't want to piss off Pastor T any more than I had to. Because he could easily ruin my ministerial career before it even started. Finally, after a month or so, Ann grabbed me by the sleeve and said, You've got to hear this. She introduced me to a well-dressed, very large guy, maybe 30 to 35 years old. I'll call him Fred. We slipped off into a Sunday school room where we would not be overheard. It turned out that Mr. Charming had had a multi-year affair with Fred's wife. Fred had kept his cool when he found out, talked with a lawyer and had spent months gathering evidence. Text messages, voice mails, emails, even photos and videos with Fred's wife and Mr. Charming in them. Apparently, Mr. Charming got stimulated by watching videos of himself doing the wild thing with Fred's wife. Then Mr. Charming would send the videos to Fred's wife and they both would have cyber-sexy time while texting each other. Later, they would hook up the old-fashioned way and make more videos. Finally, Fred confronted his wife. She denied everything, but the evidence was just too much. Fred told her he wanted a divorce, full custody of the children, their house, his retirement money, his business, her engagement and wedding rings, everything, even the dog. She hired a lawyer, but laws and courts being what they are in this rural Bible Belt County, her lawyer told her that if the judge saw the videos, she'd be lucky if she ended up in a homeless shelter with all of her worldly possessions under her bonkin and garbage sack. Then Fred turned his attention to Mr. Charming. Fred still sincerely loved his wife, and he was convinced that Mr. Charming had deliberately ruined his marriage. Taking Mr. Charming to court, suing him for loss of consortium and otherwise making him legally miserable would take too long. This is the rural deep south. Many people around here prefer a more direct approach. In rural counties, the police and any jury of your peers will probably include people who have known you since kindergarten.  Fred scheduled an appointment with Mr. Charming in his church office, who did not suspect a thing because Fred was a deacon and his children were in the church youth group. Remember that I said Fred was big? Six foot six at least, 300 pounds, and if there was an inch of fat on him, he hit it well. Looked like he could pull up a 100-foot oak tree by the roots without breaking a sweat. Fred told me that he brought several friends with him, and of course, the videos. One friend blocked the door. Another unplugged the phone. A third one stood behind Mr. Charming and encouraged him to stay seated in his chair. Fred made Mr. Charming watch about 10 minutes of one of the videos.  A month later, he had a new job at another church, my old church, and started ruining another whole set of lives, including mine. Fred actually did not know where Mr. Charming had gone. He had been led to believe that Mr. Charming had moved out of state. He was surprised, gratified and angered, to learn that this scumbag was only 50 miles away. This had all happened just a few months before. Fred was still deeply in love with his wife. They were getting counseling and he hoped that they could save his marriage. But his hatred of Mr. Charming was still fulminating, and had been reignited by me telling him that Mr. Charming was living and working less than an hour away from his wife. He presented such a face of restrained rage and vindictiveness that it scared me, and I wasn't even the one he was mad at. The next day, Monday, I drove back up there and gave him a copy of the directory of my old church. It had home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses for pretty much every member of the church. I showed him the pages that listed all of the deacons and other church leaders. And I marked some of the church's major financial donors. I explained my situation with Pastor T and asked that my name not be mentioned. No problem, he said. The next Sunday, I could not resist visiting my old church to see how things were going. Mr. Charming was nowhere to be seen, nor was any explanation given about what had happened to him. One weird thing though, Pastor T looked scared shitless. His voice, usually resonant, loud and almost musically baritone, trembled during the whole sermon. I slipped in just before the service started and made a point of sitting in the very front row, sent her pew. The look on his face when he saw me was worth all of my trouble. I didn't know it at the time, but Fred had gotten right to work and done a very thorough job. The whole church had gotten multiple anonymous emails with photos and videos of Mr. Charming and Fred's wife in various compromising positions. Deacons and major donors got emails plus express mail packages just for good measure. Mr. Charming and Pastor T had been left out, they didn't know anything until the phone calls started pouring in. After the worship service, it did not take long for my church friends to figure out why I was there. It was very gratifying. I was something of a hero, although I kept swearing that I had no idea what they were talking about. Things continued to blow up in my former church for months afterwards. Both Pastor T and the pastor of Mr. Charming's Old Church almost lost their jobs, because they had lied to my old church's committee of Deacons, who had recommended hiring Mr. Charming, about why Mr. Charming had left his old job. But somehow they managed to stay in the pulpits at their churches, although a lot of church members left my former church, which caused some financial problems.  But nobody ever was able to prove that Fred did it. I don't think they tried very hard. After all, his wife was in the videos and photos. Both churches really did not want this to become a court case, because of Mr. Charming's adventures, and the fact that he had spent a year screwing a Deacons wife while he had unlimited, unsupervised access to dozens of church youth, would then become a matter of public record. So they hushed it up. I never saw Pastor T again. I had lost all of the love, trust and respect that I had had for him, and I was sure that he had figured out that I was somehow connected to the whole fiasco. So my chances of having a preaching career were precisely zero.  I withdrew my application to minister's school, and eventually completed a doctorate in archaeology at a different grad school, graduated with honors, at a large, widely respected state university. I've been teaching at a large, public university in the Midwest of the USA, with summer gigs on archaeological digs in Europe. One last, very gratifying event, the reason for me sharing this, all that happened six to seven years ago. Fast forward to last March. I went to pick up a friend at a large downtown urban bus station in the US. Everyone hates this place. Not only is it crowded, it is poorly maintained and filthy. It smells like spoiled garbage mixed with diesel exhaust and seldom cleaned public restrooms. My friend's bus was late. I stopped by the news stand to get myself a soda and candy bar. Who do you think was restocking the shelves? Mr. Charming. I just sat across from the news stand and enjoyed my drink and snack. He recognized me, then turned away. I just sat and watched him, restocking shelves full of porno magazines and junk food. Revenge is a feast that is best enjoyed cold.

The name of Putin's successor will be called in the bunker. Russian publicist and sociologist Andrey Piontkovsky believes that the president of the Russian Federation is not preparing his successor himself. What's more, Vladimir Putin will hold on to power until the end. The publicist told about this on the air of the TV channel Freedom. Putin himself is not preparing any successor. We have heard all these myths about the successor since 2016. A person who is wanted by the International Criminal Court as a criminal will hold on to power until the last second. The successor will be prepared by numerous groups. Everything will be decided on the battlefield, the expert believes. According to him, the offensive can have two results. Either a convincing victory of the Ukrainian army or a clash of sides on some lines. According to the first scenario, Piontkovsky emphasized everything will happen as General Zaluzny outlined in an interview with the Economist magazine in September 2022. When he said that I am standing 84 kilometers from Melitopol, I am ready to take this city, but I need such a weapon. He already has this weapon, even more. When he takes it, the entire Russian group in Crimea will turn into a huge cauldron and the army will be forced to flee from there. Then people will appear who will enter Putin's bunker and name the successor. This is the first scenario, said the Russian publicist. According to the second scenario, voiced by the expert, if the offensive does not lead to such exciting results, then the current stalemate will remain. Also, there will be a clash of sides on some lines, maybe more in favor of Ukraine. Now, Putin does not dream of taking Kiev. He dreams of selling this frozen situation to the people as an allegedly honorable draw and keeping his place in power. This is why the talks about 2024 have become more active. Andrei Piontkovsky noted.
