Is pornography good for you? This lady is trying to convince us it is, but I will have none of it. Today I respond. Hey, what's up guys, it's Isaac David and this is The Daily Disciple where I help you find Jesus and follow him daily. If you're new to the channel, subscribe because I'm putting out new videos all the time. You can follow me on Instagram where I become a little bit more personal there. Post more about my life if you're interested in that sort of thing. Anyway, at it's Isaac David, if you wanna follow me on there. Now onto the video. Now it won't come as a surprise to you that pornography is one of the biggest issues of our generation with the growing popularity of canceled porn and also the pushback from major social media platforms that are trying to suppress anti porn sentiments. It's an interesting place to be, especially as a Christian, the news and studies have come out that 90% of men even within the church are watching pornography on a monthly basis. So the question is, is pornography good for you and how do you break free from pornography? I have a pretty popular video, surprisingly, I don't know, whatever, that's weird. I have a video on how to break free from pornography. I'm gonna link it somewhere up here that you can watch as well. And I'm gonna kind of reiterate some of those ideas and tips in this video as well.  Let's see what's up. Media coverage of pornography tends to have headlines all about the negative side of pornography and how it's ruining everybody's lives and relationships. Obviously it's important to talk about some of the problems of porn, but often these are the only conversations we're having about porn. There's no education and there's no balance. It's pretty much all negative. Let me make this clear.  I care about being biblical. And in terms of our understanding of pornography, we need to understand that it is a distortion of God's design for sexuality. When he designed us, he designed us for sexual fulfillment to take place in the context of marriage where man shall leave his father and his mother and cling to his wife and they shall become one flesh. Because of the just sin in our world and in our lives, our sin nature, we have this propensity, this tendency toward sexual expression that is not good. That's actually harmful. And pornography is one of the clear examples of that. You don't even need to look to only Christian sources to see anti-porn messages because non-Christians are beginning to find out as well that pornography is detrimental to not only your personal life, but your relationships as well. And so I don't care about being balanced about, oh, well, there might be some good things about it as well. Like, no, I wanna be biblical here and we need to cling to the word of God because yes, there are pragmatic things that we can look at in terms of why pornography is bad. And I know there are secular organizations that are just about wanting to benefit people's lives and get them to stop watching pornography because of its ties to human trafficking and that sort of thing. And I think that's good and that's nice. But ultimately, if we're doing it without the gospel, without the gospel message, somebody that stops, a non-Christian that stops watching pornography that lives a nice life is still going to hell. And that might be a tough message for us to swallow, but ultimately, I want everything that I do that I create to be gospel-centered, to be Christ-centered and in our message about why we should not watch pornography. I think the message of, well, God calls it a sin, needs to be primary. And then we can look at, look, here are some of the actual practical drawbacks of when we do partake in this. It does wreak havoc on your life. Let's continue on here. It is arousing.  People often see Christianity as completely suppressing. Like it's just about suppressing, suppressing, suppressing and basically you're supposed to be miserable and there's no pleasure allowed and just be sad, basically. It's interesting because I kind of used to think about Christianity in this way that, you know, oh man, we just got to suppress and it's just kind of sad and it's lame and Christianity is boring, but we got to do it because God says so. But then I began to realize that the Bible actually talks about how we find tremendous pleasure in who God is and in him and our connection and relationship with God, through reading his word, through prayer, through fellowship.  It's like, okay, I get that, right? Like I'm not trying to say that it isn't hard, that it's not challenging to, you know, not just take into whatever feels good, right? Like lots of things feel good on this earth, but that doesn't make them right. But I guess what I want to emphasize here when she talks about, oh man, it's so nice and it's great and it's fun and it's wonderful, makes us feel good. It's like, well, Christianity is not just about making you feel bad, it's about finding our pleasure and our fulfillment in God. And in him, there is so much to be found, it's just we're so distracted by other things that are lesser things. Like pornography is a lie at its heart. It kind of distorts the way that we think and we see things and it promises us connection, but it delivers us rejection. It promises us fulfillment, but just leaves us in disappointment. And so it sells us a bag of goods and I guess what I'm trying to do is point you to Christ who in him, there is so much fulfillment and pleasure and satisfaction to be found. It's relaxing. Different people like to do different things in order to relax. And for some people, at the end of a stressful day, it can be really nice to unwind by watching some porn and masturbating. Three, it can be really use- Okay. I really didn't want to watch this video. I didn't want to watch this. This is so weird to me. Like I just, okay, maybe it's the homeschool kid in me. I'm just like hearing her say, I don't even want to say the word, but maybe that's just me. Her saying masturbating in English accent is just too much for me anyway. That's as PG-13 as this channel is going to get. Well, let's talk a little bit about escapism here because that's kind of what she's saying. Well, it's relaxing after a long day. It's nice to just escape from the trials of your life and just kind of enjoy the pornography or whatever else. It really taps into the heart of where we're finding rest and where we're finding kind of, I don't know, like life is hard. I don't want them to like, you're not surprised by me saying that. But there are so many things in our life that promise us that kind of real beef. And pornography is one of those things, like I said before, that lies to us in promising us that it does not promise us peace. Only God can provide us with ultimate peace. If your conscience isn't completely seared and destroyed, you will feel a level of guilt and shame associated with pornography. And that's not kind of a bad thing. That's actually a good thing because it's telling us that this is not what God wants for us. This is not God's best for us. This is actually a distortion. This is wrong. And I need to look to Christ and what he has offered us in welcoming us into his peace and his rest as opposed to giving into this like distortion. Man, this is in it. This isn't the good stuff. Useful for LGBTQ plus folks. Any education or representation of non-hetero or non-cis bodies, desires or relationships is often absent or limited in schools and in the media. So often porn can help to educate but also normalize a lot of the things that LGBTQ folks experience but don't find represented elsewhere.   I'm gonna leave it at that. Do I leave it at that? Yeah, I mean, that's pretty. Don't look to pornography or for any kind of help on anything. Please, just don't, and why? This is one of those moments where I'm like, whoa, like there's a big disconnect here from what I think and how I operate and how I believe and how this person does. And that's not kind of testament to how awesome I am and I'm so smart. It's like, no, like it really is only by the grace of God that he's opened our eyes to see this in its proper light and we can only hope and pray that people that are kind of, I don't advocating for this sort of thing, this lady, that she will come to her senses and God will open her eyes to see, oh my goodness, what have I been doing? Like, this is crazy, how could I have recommended this?  But that takes, you know, an act of God, literally. You can discover what you like. There are so many different kinds of sexual acts out there that different people are into. So perhaps porn could be a source of inspiration and self-discovery. Five. No. Porn can benefit your relationships. Watching porn with a partner could- No again, but I'll let her finish. No again, no again. That's all my channel has turned into. I just play clips and I'm just like, no. I mean, I guess some people think that's what I do. Anyway, hopefully it's a little bit more, whatever. Could add an extra element to your sex life, but it can also work as an icebreaker in order to be able to talk and communicate about things like your sexual desires and your boundaries. So, this is a tough, this is a tough thing. You know when something is so not it, that you have a hard time telling you why it's not it because you can't even get into the space of understanding a person that would think it would be good? So I'm having a hard time getting into the mindset of somebody to think pornography would be good in a relationship.  And that'll be good for our relationship. It's like, what? It's like, what? Sorry, I don't know why I'm in this right. Okay, I'm gonna finish the video, I'm gonna finish it.  Okay, and that caps it off. Okay, guys, when we talk about pornography and any kind of things that go along with that, it is a selfish act. It is selfish, right? It's not a giving selfless thing by which you're trying to make sure your spouse who you're married to is cared for, is feeling loved. Like all the things that play into an actual healthy sexual relationship within marriage. In the client, she's actually recommending that you like, yeah, glad we don't have to do that because pornography, you don't even need another partner to do it, you just do it by yourself. It's just like completely self-obsessed. And that's not the way that God has called us to operate. He's called us to be selfless, to give of ourselves to other people, to care for other people. And this kind of selfish act, though it may be fulfilling in the moment, we might feel good and satisfied in the moment, it won't last. And I know a lot of you guys know that. Like I'm not, maybe somebody comes across this video and agrees with this lady, but I think there's gonna be very few that actually feel that way. Ultimately, a lot of us may agree with the idea that, okay, porn is bad. We don't like porn, but we still struggle with it. We still know on an intellectual level, on a spiritual level, that this is actually separating us from God, that this is putting a boundary up in our relationship with him and other people, and it's just not good. And so we wanna stop it. How are we gonna do that? Well, like I said before, there's a video that I put out that kind of highlights some tips and things that I've learned over the last couple of years about some things that will help you break free from pornography. So I encourage you to watch that. Just kind of one thing that I would encourage you guys to do is to become a more open person. Okay, and what I mean by this is this aspect of your life that maybe has been with you for a long time, from the time you were in a teenager, maybe you're an adult now, mid-20s, whatever, wherever you're at. This part of your life, I want you to open up to somebody in your life about it and maybe a couple people and incorporate it into your testimony. You may still be struggling with it, okay. But at least now you've entered that and you've put that piece into, look, this is what I'm working through. This is part of what I'm trying to break the bondage of, really, and inviting other people into knowing your story.  How's that aspect of your life? It's gonna keep you more accountable. Ultimately, your accountability partner needs to be gotten, number one. And that's gonna be continuing to focus on his word, what he has said, letting his word dwell richly in your heart. Even in the dark of the night or early in the morning, God is with you and, you know, this should bring some fear, fear of the Lord. That's a healthy thing, but just also this understanding like, God is with me, he's given me his power and his presence to overcome this temptation and you can do it, okay. So I encourage you to watch that video. Thank you so much for watching. This video, and if you enjoyed it, give it a like down below because I'm putting out new videos all the time. A huge shout out once again to my patrons on Patreon. It's just because of your guys' support that I can continue to do that. So thank you so much. I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts in the comments down below. How are you working through kind of your struggle with pornography and maybe some of your experience with that, you can help encourage some of the people in the comments down below. Thank you so much for watching again and I'll see you guys next time. God bless.

Welcome to this session in which we will discuss other information and supplementary information as they relate to the financial statements, the audited financial statements in the annual report. So we're going to learn what is other information and supplementary information and what's the auditor's responsibility about other information and supplementary information. Now in the previous session we looked at other information and we're done with this topic. That topic is done if you need to go to the prior session. In this session we'll focus on supplementary information. In the next session we would look at required supplementary information. So notice the difference. One is required and one is just supplementary information and this is what we will focus on in this session. So simply put what is supplementary information or simply put I'm going to refer to it as SI. Well what is that? Well it's any information presented in addition to the financial statement but it's not necessary to fairly present the financial statement. So hold on a second. So it's not necessary why am I presenting this? Well you're voluntarily presenting this. The company want to present this and it's not only voluntary they presented this it's audited. So supplementary information that's audited and voluntary. Now the auditor is engaged to audit the supplementary information so it's not required that you have your supplementary information audited but if the company wants their supplemental information to be audited then they have to engage. So it's basically simply put it's a different engagement. So why would the company pay for this extra? Well simply put it's the purpose is to provide additional information for analysis. Additional analysis. So I'm giving you more information so you would look basically at more detailed information and we're going to discuss what supplemental information is this way you'll understand that it's going to give you more information about the company. So the audit report for this supplemental information might accompany the audited financial statements or could be made readily available separately somewhere else. For example they can post the report on their website and if you want it you can download it. So simply put it can be its own separate report or part of the audit report so you could either have it either or. Now bear in mind you cannot perform this audit if the audit report so if you audited the company and you're expressing an adverse opinion if you're think about it if you're expressing an adverse opinion what does that mean it means they're not complying with gap why even what value does it give to the users to give them more information about the company about their supplemental information or if you're disclaiming now if you're unqualified or qualified that's fine but if you are if you are issuing a report expressing an adverse opinion or disclaiming an opinion then you cannot audit the supplemental information it's useless to do so because the supplemental information might include accounting or non-accounting information but all the information is derived from the financial statement now we've been talking supplemental information supplemental information so what is exactly supplemental information well before we proceed and explain what supplemental information is give you examples most likely you are a CPA candidate or an accounting student and if that's the case you are looking for help most likely you are taking a CPA review course and end up here yes i can help you whether you are a student or a CPA candidate go to farhatlectures.com i provide additional resources additional resources i don't replace your CPA review course lectures multiple choice through folds notes powerpoint powerpoint slides notes if you are an accounting student this is a list of all my accounting courses again everything is organized by chapter and course my CPA material is also organized by your CPA review course such as Becker Wiley Gleam uh Roger Miles so it's very easy to go back and forth between my material and your CPA review course if you have not connected with me on linkedin please do so take a look at my linkedin recommendation like this recording on youtube if you're watching it means it's helping you like it share it with others so it helps other connect with me on instagram facebook twitter reddit and if you're a CPA candidate join my CPA exam support group on group me where we can discuss CPA exam information with me as well as other candidate so let's talk about supplemental information as i mentioned it's derived derived means this information is coming you're bringing it from the financial statement and cover the same period so you cannot have supplemental information for year x1 for year x2 and the financial statements are for year x3 so they have to be both for the same period so let's now let's go in and let what are some examples of this well examples will be summaries extracted again i'm saying the same thing extracted derived same thing i'm emphasizing the point give me an example stop repeating the same thing and give me an example well detailed of other income as shown in the statement of operation or the income statement well let's take a look at tesla this is the income statement or statement of operation for tesla and tesla they have different lines and let's take a look specifically at other expense or income specifically they have 122 million in losses you may want to give additional information an additional schedule detailed information about those other expenses and losses this will be supplemental information now bear in mind they might have something in the notes about this number but that's even in addition to the notes you're giving supplemental information it's voluntary but it's also being audited again what's the purpose is to give you more information for the purpose of analysis what is this number coming from you could also give details of the general and administrative expenses again if you look at tesla here they have a line called selling general and administrative 3.1 billion maybe in the notes they have a little bit more of information what's included in selling general and administrative supplemental information i'll give you even more information more details breakdown and i'll tell you that information itself was audited so you can rely on it schedule of breakdown of investment property plant and equipment that those that information is from the balance sheet so any expended number any expended table containing the details of any line in the financials so you're looking at a number in the financial statement and okay here's more information more detailed information about this number go ahead and use it for your own purpose maybe will give you a better idea okay any statistical data also now what is the auditor's responsibility because this is what we care about now we know what supplemental information is now what is the auditor's responsibility well the auditor responsibility and just you you may want to memorize the statement determine whether the information is fairly stated in all material respect in relationship to the financial statement as a whole so are they fairly stated in relationship to the financial statement so the supplemental information whatever the whether the information whether s i is fairly stated what's the standard i'm looking at the financial statement as a whole is the information that you're giving me that detailed information jive with the financial statement matches the financial statement number so that's basically the standard let's take a look at the report to see exactly what it reads and once you read the report then it hopefully it will break everything down for you the you explain the information given here is presented for the purpose of additional analysis remember i told you what's the purpose of this is initial analysis and is not part of the require notice it's voluntary financial statement such information is the responsibility of management of course it's the responsibility of management was derived from the now the auditor could work on it but it's the responsibility of the management in other words they could help them prepare it it's not help them prepare it they could contribute to that work derived from the derived derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare financial statement it's extracted derived from the financial statement everything that i told you now this is the official report the information has been subject to the auditing procedures what are those auditing procedures we're going to talk about them applied in the audit of the financial statement and certain additional procedures what are those additional procedures so what would they do well comparing and reconciling such information directly with the accounting and other record used to prepare the financial statement so simply put here they're explaining exactly what the auditors would do they would look at the supplemental information reconcile it compare it to the financial statement and hopefully everything matches it should matches or to the financial statement themselves or other procedures according to accordance with the auditing standard generally accepted accounting generally accepted in the united states of america or whatever you know standard you are using in our opinion the information is fairly stated in all material respect in relationship to the financial statement as a whole notice this statement right here that i started with so simply put this is the report once again this report could be a separate report can be downloaded from anywhere easy to find for the users or it can be part of the audit report a separate paragraph now what procedures used to meet those those objective right there we cover them let's review the procedures you you can make inquiries with management about the purpose of the supplemental information why are you preparing this understand how the information was prepared if they prepared it's just stop let's talk to us reconcile what which which we see in the audit report understand any assumptions or estimate the company is making evaluate the completeness is everything there also the most important thing is get management representation about the points above and the availability of the supplemental report simply put you want the management to explicitly state that's their responsibility everything here is their responsibility and the report will be available whether it's part of the audit report or available somewhere that can be easily accessed so this is the supplemental information what should you do now go to farhatlectures.com if you're not a subscriber subscribe and start to work multiple choice questions don't shortchange yourself the CPA exam is important i present the material differently than your CPA review course and the i hope that i can help you understand it better and if i do please don't shortchange yourself subscribe the next topic we would look at is rsi required supplemental information we need to see what this is what's the auditors responsibility so on and so forth good luck study hard and of course stay safe


We're at UW-Chaboygan, where tonight the Wombats take on Marinette Buccaneers alongside the coach Chris Wright. I'm Mike Martin. Chris, both teams got games in. Marinette's already played three games, they're three and all. Wombats played Baraboo the other night, won that one handily, I think it was 89 to 68. And the Wombats got some new players. Familiar names to us. Yeah, very nice to see a lot of kids from Chaboygan South, Chaboygan North. I see a young man from Chaboygan Falls as well, so we got some kids that we're used to. We got, you know, Julian Jones who played a starter on the state number four team, I guess, or three, depending on how you face it. They've got to the state tournament. You've got Evan Plottz who played on that state team as well. Nathan Circuitidge and with that and blending in with TJ Pitch from Chaboygan South who was an all-conference player last year. And they probably, Chaboygan also added their South's probably best player last year, AJ Gutierrez. So, you know, we've come out here a lot of years and they've struggled to get some basketball players, but they've got basketball players this year. William Greenwood, the third, is the coach. He's a teacher over at North High, so he's familiar with a number of the kids. And I'm sure he put a little pitch in for his program and was fortunate enough to get some of the players you had mentioned. Pitch has been an outstanding player last year. He set a single season scoring record and a single game scoring record. He had 48 points one game. And I know he put up a lot of points, a couple of games we covered. Well, you know, we've had the pitches along the while. They love to throw the ball up at the rim. And one thing they do do is they can find it as well. TJ had a very successful career at Chaboygan South and again leading it over to here. I think this team is looking for bigger, better things this year. I know it's all here that the record last year was 6-17. Just looking at their size and their talent. This is a team that just might win their league. Last year in conference, Marinette finished 9-3 second in the conference. They had an outstanding year. Like I had mentioned, they're 3-0 so far this year. 1-0 in conference. That one game that Chaboygan played and beat Baraboo, that was a non-conference game. So this will be the first conference game for them. Marinette doesn't have any names that we're real familiar with, but certainly the cities are relatively familiar. Sevastopol and Green Bay East and O'Connell Falls. Tyler Hagmeiser was an honorable mention-all player last year. And this Everglade, number 13, was the first team-all big conference. He's a freshman. He could be a big guy in there. Yeah, and I know Green Bay East had a really nice basketball team last year as well. They didn't play in our league. They moved to the other league, but I know they had a good season. One thing is for most of you may or may not remember is here at the center, you play for two years and then you can move on to something else. And looking at the roster here, they're all first-year players for Marinette, so it's a brand new team. Young team for sure, and that would be a little challenging. There's William Greenwood III. Well, he said last year, we talked to him and you had mentioned that he was going to try to recruit and get better players in here. And he definitely hit the area here for those kids that weren't going to bigger schools. And you know, with the financial aid and colleges the way they are, I know personally with my son running his debt up the ying-yang. Still a year debt. Coming to a two-year program and then transferring to a different school is not a bad idea. You're saving money by living at home and probably eating well and things. So that helps out for sure. Penny Maletsky standing right alongside of us, senior athletic director here at the center. She's a longtime familiar face out here. And we're going to stop her a minute and be quiet for the national anthem. A freshman like Chris had mentioned, he's from the forest and he's averaging 12 points a game and six assists a game. Chris, he'll be an interesting player to watch. And there he is, shaking hands with everybody. The Buccaneers. TJ Pitch, of course, starting. Nate Circuititch. So we've got two South Siders and three North Siders in the starting lineup for Sheboygan tonight. I don't know if you caught the announcement. Our officials tonight are Dan Hagnow, Tom Rush and Don Bumgart. I had a chance to talk with Don Bumgart and said, haven't seen him in a while. He says, well, I've kind of graduated from doing not nearly as much high school basketball and focusing in on more of the college level. Don will be tossing it up at half court. Rules are a little different, of course, from high school with the shot clock, 30 seconds. And Jones almost had it but lost it. Davis, hold on top, Sheboygan in a man-to-man defense. Circuititch with the hands up being tall. Winning shot inside. Good help defense by Circuititch. Three-point attempt is up and good by Newman who tears, eyeing it up, gets it inside to Circuititch.  Davis got through the double team, tried to dish it off and then we get a walk call on Marinette, which has it on top. Guterres gets it inside to Circuititch, he's looking for a clear out, gets pitch cutting on top. Three-point had a good look at it but couldn't get it in. Plats over to Jones, tries to drive, couldn't get it and gets tipped out of bounds. Julian is kind of one of those players, Marty, that does all the little things, doesn't always get it in the box score, but he's one of those eight-point per game guys. Gets about five or six rebounds, plays good D. Guterres with a look from three-point land, couldn't get it to go. Sheboygan doing a good job of getting back on defense, preventing any fast break by the Buccaneers. Guterres doing a great job fighting through the double team to prevent a three-point attempt. Both teams playing really good defense, Marty, for the beginning of the season. Yeah, I agree with you, both teams in a man-to-man and doing a great job. Very difficult for teams to be open. Julian Jones had a wide open shot from about 18 feet and couldn't get it in. Davis gets away with the push. Circuititch, good defense inside, I'll tell you that height really pays dividends. Yup, six-eight, former student of mine, he wasn't six-eight when he was my student, don't worry. He might have been taller than him back then. For a while. Circuititch from three-point land, can't get it in. So far Sheboygan, I believe, is over four and three of the four shots have been from three-point land. And Davis looked like he got hammered, but no call and the ball goes out of bounds off of him. You're just about right, all for five, Marty. They had that half hook by Circuititch, but everything else has been three-pointers. Guterres has it on top, gets it inside to Circuititch. His turn around, fade away, is up and in. I was glad that Nathan took that shot. He missed the first shot and then he was kind of hesitant when he had it down below. But when you're deep in the post there, you're six-eight, shoot it. Platts a little too aggressive on the cover-up, but fortunately Marinette missed the shot. Sheboygan got the rebound. Both teams, cold, cold, cold. Guterres has it on top, into Platts. Guterres open from three-ball land. Again, couldn't get it to go. Three to two, Marinette on top. They made a three-point shot, their first trip down. And that was their only basket until right now. Melver with a two-pointer. It's five to two, Marinette. Alex Antoni getting ready to check in for the Wombats. Yeah, he played for Falls a year ago. Big, big, big player. Shot clock down to eight. Pitch kick out to Guterres. Again, couldn't get it. Platts with the rebound. Reverse layup is no good. Pitch kisses it off the glass for two, his first two points of the night. Surprised he didn't take that three, Marty. He loves it out there. And we're going to get a foul on Circuititch. Probably a little tired, Marty. Yeah, I agree. You can tell. His cheeks are red. So he got that foul a little late due to the, probably a little tired. The first foul of the game. We're at 15-32 left in the first half. Then a slow start. Neither team shooting very well. Good ball movement by the Buccaneers. And it results in an air ball. Hegmeier on the three-ball attempt. Drew nothing but four. Dumped down to Platts. His move inside is good. Evan Platts for a two-pointer. Bubbin's got three rebounds. Now he's got a basket. Defense by Platts. Again, little too aggressive on the recovery and allowed his man to score. That's Newman's second basket. He's got five altogether. Seven to five Marinette. Seven to six, pardon me. Jones going down the middle, had his shot blocked. And we get a, I think we're going to get a foul on Jones. Offensive foul on Julian. Went on their website, Chris. It's pretty slick, actually. It's got all the teams, and they can access any of the teams in their conference. And going through Jack Snyder's court is what they're playing on. Jack was a coach here for, I believe it was, 21 years. Great man. Great basketball coach. Yep, just a super human being. Davis taking it to the rack, and he's going to get fouled. I think Evan's a little bit tired, too. Platts picked up the foul. Davis's free throw rolls around and down. That was our first free throw of the ball game. Comes with 14-06 left. That makes it nine to six, Marinette. Tares looks pretty tired, too, Chris. Nice pass. Good shot by Antony. Yep, double dribble. I tell you, the only thing that's a little disturbing is Antony was open maybe before he finally got the ball. Get him open down deep. Let's get him in the ball right away. Well, he got circuited six-nine, Antony six-eight. I think I'd want to keep those two fellas near the basket. What do you think? We're not sure what's going on down on the court. I think he did not substitute in. Or... Okay. Maybe. Reporting violation. But he was at the desk. I know he was at the desk. Davis makes the technical free throw, the first of two. That's what Coach Greenwood was yelling about, about checking in. I don't know if he didn't check in. I can remember coaching a JV basketball team and grabbing a guy and said, go check in, and he ran right on on the floor. I don't know what the deal was. He had a feeling that's exactly what it was, a substitution violation. But I saw three people up here. I just... Pitch, good feed inside the circuit pitch, and he short-armed it. Antony shoots and scores, and is fouled. The ball goes on lane. Nathan's got to put that pickle off the glass. Bryce Thompson, number 32, checks in for the Buccaneers. And Antony is going to shoot a free throw. And couldn't get it in. 11-10, Marinette to defense by Pitch. And Davis, pardon me. Yes, Davis scores and is fouled. That was an easy foul, too. When you put your hands over the guy, going down, it's an easy call for the official as opposed to putting your hands straight up in the air. Good rebound by DJ Dawson. Circuit pitch, likes the three ball, but can't get it in. I don't think Coach likes the three ball from him as much. Oh, a nice scoop move by Melver. He's got four points. It's 15-10, Pitch. Three ball is off the support wire, and it's a dead ball. Marinette will get it. 12-31 left in the first half. The pair is checking back in for Pitch. Jones, Plats, Pitch on the bench. Three of the five starters. Davis to the rack and scores.  He's got eight points, Chris. Seven point lead now for the Buccaneers. They had it down to one. Kick out three ball is up and good by Sadiq. Sadiq from Elkhart Lake. They needed that. Lane's shot is no good. Feed inside is no good, but the circuit pitch is going to pick up his second foul. Number 13 is Everett Lay. I believe I called Lane. It's Lay, L-A-Y-E. And Newman scores his sixth point. He's got a three, a two, and now a free throw. The lead goes back to five for Marinette. Make it six. They're making their free throws too, Marty. Yeah, they've made six of seven so far. The boy again is over one. Reuters, quick three ball. No good, he can't hit one. And Plats with the good hustle, falling down, took a swipe at the ball, hit it out of the hands of the Marinette player, and it went off of his leg. Sheboygan will get it back down 19 to 13. The only shot is blocked. Reuters got it back though for Sheboygan. Sadiq couldn't wait to get it, and he nails another three. He's got a quick six off the bench. Ball is tipped away by Sadiq. He's having a good run here, Chris. After being in trouble, getting a couple of technicals there. Bad pass by Katera's. And AJ commits the fall, making the layup. It was Bryce Thompson. Oh, been there before Chris make a bad pass and then compounded with a foul. Timeout, full timeout. Take a short break and be right back.

Back at UW Sheboygan, there you see the Marinette Buccaneers being talked to by their coach, Brian Wickstrom. Also helping out is Tom Cohnine and Joe Sparks. Sheboygan's assistant coaches are Lawrence Adams, and they got down butch cane, but I don't see butch. I talked with William Greenwood, actually, and he had mentioned that butch had moved on. Coaching, not sure where. I think at the high school level again, maybe. But anyway, they got him listed, but he's not here. Slow start for Sheboygan. They're just shooting 35 percent. Already two of 11 from three. Marinette on the other hand, 53 percent from the floor. 22-16 now. You know, 35 percent even seems high in terms of their shooting percentage. Sheboygan's. Well, Marinette's getting a lot of shots at the free throw line as well. A nice feed inside for Antoine. He's got six points. He's three of four. He's the one guy that's putting the ball into hole. I'll tell you, the guys off the bench have kept Sheboygan in the game. Good high hands there. Davis causing a lot of problems for Sheboygan tonight. The defense by Sabique. And a shot clock violation. Hagemeyer was not able to get the ball up to the rim and the shot clock went off. Lucas Rockmont is in the ball game.  Yeah, Julian Jones and Pitch back in. Rockmont, 6-5 freshman. I don't think he's 6-5. But if you tell me he's 2-40, I believe that. Well, 6-5 next to 6-8 there. It's pretty close. Yeah, it could be. It's taller than me. But not better looking. Well, maybe I'll take that back. Davis going hard to the basket. A.J. is going to pick up the foul and that'll be his second. Circuitic and Guterres each have two fouls. Marinette is attacking the basket. That's 17 foul on Sheboygan. Just one on Marinette. 1-1 for Corey and Davis. He's been pretty steady on the line. He's made 5-6 so far. Got 11. 9 points so far. Looking for number 10. 9-56 left in the first half. There you get a good shot at Corey and Davis. They're making their throws, Marty. Difference in the game. For sure. Ball's going to go on Rockmont. He dumped it inside to Antoni. He drew the foul. Dawson with a 3. Pardon me, Julian Jones with a 3. Julian's first points of the night. He had 22 the other night. 9 of 11 shooting. Lay goes right around him for an easy 2. Not good defense that time by Julian. 26-21. Marinette on top. Good hustle that time by DJ Dawson. Just nothing going in. Couldn't get the basket. Tell you he's had a slow start. Chris is TJ Pitch. He's got one basket. He's got two points. He's a high scorer. I'd like to see him light it up a little bit. He's on Davis. Davis going hard to the hoop time after time. They don't have an answer for him. Julian Jones picked up the foul there. Didn't I say something in the first 10 minutes that they were playing good defense? About the last four minutes they haven't played very good defense. I'll tell you that Corey and Davis, they've really gotten his game in gear the last 7-8 minutes. And he's pretty good on his free throws. 29-21. Rolling under 8 minutes. Under 9 minutes. Pitch hard to the hoop. Lays it up an end. Nice driving layup. That time by TJ. He has four points. Davis with a runner couldn't get it. Thompson with the layup. That was one of those that looked like it could have been a pass too. Because there was nobody on the weak side because defense had to step up to stop the drive. Left Thompson open. Sadiq lost it. Davis comes away with it. Good long pass to lay. He lays it up an end. And a timeout by Sheboygan. With 8-15. Left in the ball. Left in the first half it's 33-23. We got a full timeout. We'll keep it here as long as we're this far into the timeout. Our early schedule this year. Chris sees four college games. We're here tonight obviously. Covering UW-Sheboygan. Then we have two Lakeland varsity games. They host UW La Crosse November 17th. And they host MSOE on November 22nd. And then we're back out to Lakeland. They cover the Lakeland GAV team against this UW-Sheboygan team. And that's going to be a little bit of a special night. Isn't that the Deso night? I'm not sure. I think that's the night that Tom DeSadell is going to come and join us. Oh really? At the table. Because Lakeland has several north players. And of course we talked about the familiar faces on this Sheboygan Wombat team. And then from December 5th on after that December 5th, Lakeland GAV against UW-Sheboygan. It's high schools all the way moving through the season. 16 dates I believe. 18 games. Or maybe it's 14 dates and 16 games. But starting off on the college level early on. Plots back in the game. Pitch takes it down the lane and scores. This game they're going to have to change on the defense of En-Marty because right now Marinette has just taken it to him. You know basically it's been one player driving the whole offense and that's been Cory and Davis. They got to find an answer for him. Julian goes high for the rebound. 7.30 left in the first half. Roygan looking for an opening. 7 seconds left on the shot clock. Pitch wide open from 3-ball and nails it. That's just poor defense. They backed away from him instead of coming out to guard him. You got to think that that was discussed on the bus ride down. Julian Jones with his two falls is guarding Cory and Davis inside to Rachman. Looks like he may have gotten away with a travel. Sadiq back in for Sheboygan and Brock Keber is in for the Buccaneers. Julian not happy that he came out but I thought it was a good substitution. I didn't want him to pick up his third fall. No. Ball tapped out by Sheboygan. Davis being guarded by Dawson and drives and scores and I'll tell you he got raped on the way to the basket and no call. Right up on him but with his speed you got to stop on me. He's not made any long shots. No. Pitch is getting warmed up. Antoni with a 10 footer couldn't get it to go. Lay pushing the action. And good defense by Antoni to prevent the pass to Haigmeier for the layup. There you see it's 6-08 remaining. It's 35-28. Sheboygan's been down the entire way. They started off the ball game missing a whole bunch of shots. Chris early on had them at 35%. Good block that time by Antoni. Marin had about 60% now and they're not missing shots to go into the free throw line. Oh, bonus. I thought that was a shooting follow. Really? Plats picks up his second follow. I've got Gutierrez, Plats, Joans and Cerkutich all with two falls. We have six minutes left to just two falls on Marinette. The difference is Marinette's attacking the glass attacking the basket. Sheboygan relying more on that outside shot. They've attempted 13-3s already, Marty. Made four of them. Really that many. 16 points by Corey and Davis so far, Chris. Make it 17. And he's made nine out of 10 free throws. Wow. I mean, he doesn't make a basket. He's getting followed on the drive to the basket. Pitch with a deep three. Nailed it. Nothing too deep for him. He's got 12 points and we get a line violation after the made basket and Sheboygan's going to get it right back. They're down 37-31. What a break there. They were just down 10. 33-23. They're making a little bit of a comeback. Pitch has made his last four. Yeah, he was looking inside for Antoni and then Sadiq travels trying to make a move to the basket. Just two turnovers on Sheboygan. He's got them both. 5-31 left in the half. 37-31. Davis. Violation. I didn't catch what it was. I thought it was some type of dribbling violation. Six turnover on Marinette. Pitch doing a lot of dribbling up on top. Not much movement by the rest of the boys. Rifles up a three that goes out of bounds. That was not a good offensive set. In the beginning they tried to go inside out but now they just seem to be relying on the outside. Marinette looking to build on their six-point lead. Sergei Molitor and Richard Bartson on camera. Scott Malop, hard director. Leia's shot is no good. Got his own rebound and puts it up and in. Forever at Leia, that's his six-point. Yeah, three of eight from the floor. Chris Wright and I'm Mike Martin bringing you to ballgame. Julian Jones goes hard to the basket and scores. Still a six-point lead. Buccaneers on top. Hagmeier kicks out to Davis. His lone outside shot of the half. He missed it but Buccaneers come away with it. Leia inside the line, hits a two. He's made his last two now. Yep, he's got eight points. Having a quiet half but he's been effective. Julian, let's follow down the drive. I believe it's going to be Tyler Hagmeier picking up the foul. That's only their third foul of the half, Chris. Sheboygan has nine. Jones did something twice now in a row that the rest of the team hasn't done and that's getting to the basket. Make the free throw, though. Sheboygan is 0 for two on their free throw attempts. They did the other night, Marty. One for three or four the other night. He's one for two tonight so far. Seven-point lead for Marinette. There are 72% from the four the other night. Good hands by Julian Jones. Jones cannot pick up foul number three here, Marty. He's got the tough task of guarding Davis. Coach had talked to him earlier about there is a treble not called but Davis gets the role about not fouling. Julian with a three ball. Double. Well, foul is going to go on Dawson and Lay is going to be at the line shooting two. They're in double bonus now. Even the guys without the last name Davis make their free throws. They're getting there a lot, Marty. Here's a good look at Everett. We're at 339 and they've given up almost 50 points, Marty. Yeah, 45 to 34. Sadiq kisses it off the glass. No good. Sadiq on pitch. No, no. To see that from here. The same angle as Don Bumgert. He called it right, I think. Yeah, but I thought Pitch got the shot at first. Well, we didn't see that. Here you're going to take a look at it. Now watch Pitch. Who came in there first? I'd give it to Lay every time. And I'm serious, I thought he went up there but he didn't. Lay has still initiated the contact. Julian with a spin shot. He makes it and he's fouled. Julian. State points now looking for number nine. Had a one for two trip at the line. Couple of minutes ago. Put that one in. Is that Don Smith for the old Milwaukee Bucks shot those line drivers? That's what that looked like. Greg Smith, that's it. Number four. He didn't like the call. Not on that time though. Pitch has it. There's a rolling down to the three minute mark. Sheboygan is down by eight points. Marinette has played a good first half. Jones to Dawson. Pump fake, he goes to the lane. Throws it up off the glass, couldn't get it in. Comes away with a rebound. Has it tipped away by Davis.  I think I got it. He fell over the top of the Sheboygan player. Which was incidental contact kind of sort of. We could have played on. But if it's on them, that's a good thing. Davis picked up his first foul of the game. Rainbow three is no good and Tony not able to grab the rebound. Sadiq missed the three ball. He made his first two, but he's missed his last two. He's going to seize. Been pretty good. Sadiq going down the lane lays it up and in. Olly Sadiq Elkhart Lake native. Chris mentioned that. Fadaway jumper rolls off. Jones kept it alive and and Tony didn't get the time out. Or did he? No, did not get the time out in time. All goes out of bounds. You know, you talk about doing the little things, Chris. I thought on that last rebound attempt that Jones was instrumental keeping the ball live. Yep. Kitch and Dawson just not on the same page. Cost a turnover by Sheboygan. Under two minutes 158 counting. 45-39 Sheboygan trying to battle back. Sheboygan now with five turnovers. That's not too bad, actually. Nope. Hagmeir's spin move is no good. Sadiq had the ball knocked away. Hagmeir again a fade away. No good. Dawson fell down. Couldn't get it. As he gets up, the ball rolled right to him. Jones with a three. No good. Sheboygan needs to set it up. 25 seconds left on the shot clock. We're rolling down to a minute. Very kind. Another time out. William Greenwood wants him to talk it over. There's 20 seconds left on the shot clock. 106 left in the half. It's 45-39. Third time out of the half. It's a 30 second time out. Wow. Well, one reason there's not a lot of turnovers because neither team's not afraid to shoot. That's right. I picked one of the Marinette guys before the game missed a shot and it bounced over the chairs into the bleachers. So I got it out and I said to the kid I said I'm going to do something I don't like doing. Passing the ball. And actually, you know what he said back to me? We don't like passing it either. Our next ball game will be November 17th when UW La Crosse, my alma mater comes to Sheboygan County to play Lakeland University at the Moose-Wolson Gym. This is actually a critical one minute, Chris, because we mentioned all the kids with two falls on Sheboygan. We have half with only two. That'll be a major accomplishment. Looks like they're going into a zone.  Davis tips it away and Sadiq commits the foul on the shot attempt. Well, that was a good call by Marinette to switch up your defense there the way he's been shooting free throws though. Yeah, this is like an automatic two points. Let's see what Marinette calls this time on defense. Davis with a one for two trip 46-39 45 seconds left in the first half. Sheboygan will not be able to oh boy, I don't know why they're passing and get into a double team. 30 seconds, 13 on the shot. Pass to Dawson is no good. Shot clock is off there's 22 seconds left coach is telling him play for one I think there was just over three minutes left Chris when you had mentioned it was 45-36 maybe or so and that Sheboygan was possibly going to give up 50 points they call an offensive foul on Davis but from that point almost three minutes they've only scored one point. I was just thinking about that on the last trip down Marty there you're going to call the charge there three two pitch on a fade away is going to be no good and we're at half time here at Sheboygan with Marinette with a 7 point lead 46-39 you know what guys there's a lot of tree branches and dry brush over here we should probably move the bonfire over there I'm guessing Smokey liked that idea

we can solve hunger together we're feeding America back at UW Sheboygan getting ready to start second half action there you see the scored halftime Marinette 46 Sheboygan 39 Chris what do you got for us I got Marinette shooting 50% from the floor just one of three what a change compared to Sheboygan where they have shot 19 threes but only hit five or 26% 39% shooting for Sheboygan and I we kind of mentioned probably that you know might be Sheboygan's game but the three point shot wasn't helping them there much in that first half and you mentioned too that the difference in the shots that Sheboygan took was made up by Marinette's free throw shooting they made 15 out of 17 Sheboygan only two out of four high score and a half was Corian Davis with 20 points for Sheboygan TJ Pitch had 12 it's a high score for Sheboygan and as you can see there Sheboygan gets the possession coming out of the half for the second half Pitch being guarded by Haigmeier it's a pretty good match up for Marinette Haigmeier being taller than TJ both Marinette in a man to man defense Jones pushes it to the basket and scores he's now four of nine from the floor that brings Sheboygan within five points that's a close to save Ben in quite a while they didn't really play well that first half so to be down what they were at half was not that bad Lane kisses it off the glass a Hail Mary shot and it went in Plats looking for the back cutter on that pass to the high post but nobody got open, Jones no good Plats with the offensive rebound Sheboygan keeps the possession he's got four rebounds too on the offensive glass, Evan a bad pass even Plats with a block there a good turnover on the bad pass AJ didn't get a basket in that first half Plats went down and popped back out, no break circuit it with a block kind of like the start of the game Marty back and forth with not a lot of results but they sure picked it up the last three quarters of the half Julian going hard to the basket and scores again he's got 13 points that shot is no good Plats with the rebound Sheboygan looking to draw a little closer they haven't been shooting well so far only a couple minutes in but they haven't been shooting the three ball quite as much they've been looking to go inside more shot off the glass is no good Evan Plats this shot is good but it's no good the fall happened before the shot attempt Sheboygan will get it out of bounds underneath the basket from the floor shooting but he has six rebounds and three now on the offensive glass Newman picking up his second foul Evan had eight rebounds the other night Kutairas with a three ball no good he hasn't had any luck on his three shot attempts Lay, nice dribble got it by AJ and he gives it up to Malver Malver who scores 50 to 43 just rolled under 17 minutes left in the ball game Pitch gets fouled by Haigmeier maybe shooting two nice crowd here tonight Marty another thing we've been here some nights where there's been about four people in the stands good to see some people out here both sides actually pretty nice crowd over on Marinette's side too Pitch with a couple of free throws there I see his dad Tom Pitch up in the stands he's been a loyal supporter of his son's athletic endeavors oh yeah good hustle that time by Julian Jones not able to come up with the steal Davis trying to take it to the rack but his path was stopped Malver's shot is no good but he gets the rebound and a short jumper by Newman Newman is good second opportunity for Marinette just thinking the same thing Chris and Davis with a steal and Pitch with a foul well they haven't had a lot of turnovers but they're untimely turnovers I guess they're never good time for a turnovers they're gonna stay shooting here huh how can that be it's an NBA continuation what he was 10 for 12 in the first half 0 for 1 now in the second half got that one to crawl in time out Marinette 16-09 left in the ball game 30 second time out there you see coach Brian Wickstrom talking to the troops hard to believe it's basketball season already Marty I know the badgers are getting underway soon as well but now the baseball season's over I guess it's time high school season what ball still 2 weeks left 3 weeks oh you're right 2 weeks nice win by Cedar Grove Belgium to defeat Columbus in that 2 vs 1 Hilbert still alive too Green Bay Notre Dame I noticed that right you can check that stuff in Arizona isn't that amazing pitch trying to go down the lane he got it up and in DJ 6 of 11 now from the floor that one was Davis had a shot but couldn't get it in circuit pitch with the board gives it off to Gutierrez he likes that 3 ball Chris Joel what's he over or under for Gutierrez making a 3 tonight oh I don't know all for 6 from out there all for 7 in the game Eggmeyer deadly his first points of the ball game just as the momentum was coming back yeah he was all for his first 6 and Marinette has not thrown a lot of 3's up there just to a 4 now pitch I ended up nothing but the bottom of the net 19 points for TJ 1440 left in the ball game Sheboygan down 4 Newman had it gave it up to Eggmeyer he's trying to take it down the lane Newman with a 3 ball no good Jones coming in hard for the rebound got Antoni in the middle with the ball dishes it off to and again he misses a 3 you know I hate to put it this way but I'd stop passing him the ball play defense getting to your head a little bit you gotta know let the game come to you for one thing if you're not making them don't shoot them it's not like when I miss them keep shooting it's different I can keep shooting Eggmeyer line drive shot nothing but air Sheboygan with it they're only down 4 with 1350 left tough shot Julian kisses it off the glass I don't think he meant to do that but he'll take it he has 8 points in the second half and pitch had it tipped out of his hands but they're saying that he lost it out of bounds Marinette will get it back there you go right oh well good replay Scott haven't had a lot of replays there's been a lot of action in the ball game not good defense that time by Sheboygan as Melver puts it up and in only down 4 pitch off balance shot and he put it in he's made his last 3 he has 9 points in the second half 21 in the ball game Davis too easy only his second and third point of the second half Chris he's got 23 in the night 1240 left pitch had it tipped away hey Chris in the program they got TJ listed at 510 he doesn't look 510 to me I have 5.5 and a half I think he's shorter than I am ok so I was right for once 1230 left Sheboygan down by 460 to 56 Plats with a dump down into Antony didn't have an opening pitch couldn't get it Dawson up and in nice play been a long long uphill battle can't stop him they got to have better help defense kind of like the parting of the Red Sea there you see some of the fans here tonight Paul goes on Plats his third it's not his fault though they got to stop him on top and then you got to fill in the middle right with the back line defenders to help out but he's quick to the basket Marty very let's see what they got about him honorable mention Badger North Conference 19 points per game currently averaging 12 points a game that'll go up after tonight honorable mention at 19 points a game really Davis missed a free throw got the rebound put it up and in nobody blocked him out everybody stood there and watched him that's not good not good fundamentals on your free throws nobody stepped in to block him out circuit Antoni got the inside feed from Plats he gets fouled Paul's on Thompson they used to have the high low now I don't know exactly what they're trying to get here there's too much standing around Antoni's fade away is no good he gets a rebound off the glass and in Alex Antoni with his first basket of the second half off an offensive rebound a little bit more than everybody else but now Plats is going to get number four it's a foul up on top yeah that's Nate Circutich is going to come in for him 11-10 left in the ball game at 63 to 60 Marinette on top they've led it the entire way Shaboygan got down as much as 11 points actually in the first half and battled back they continue to battle back here in the second half it's a matter of getting over the hump Antoni with the good defense Circutich saved it there's a scrum on the floor Davis fouled on the way to the hoop he's going to be shooting a pair Paul's on Alex Antoni it's his second Davis at the line shooting free throws again imagine that this is going to be his 18th attempt from the line Chris see if somebody blocks him out they did that time 65 to 60 can't get over the hump it's been tough Marinette back in their zone playing a 3-2 1-2-2 Julian got bumped on the way to the basket call the foul I believe that's going to go on Newman Matt Newman number 24 maybe not yep Newman that's his third Chris Hagnell coming in it's 65 to 60 Marinette with 10-22 left in the ball game Antoni drew the foul well the one difference this half is getting a few fouls on Marinette it's a matter of making the free throws so far in the half for two from the line thanks Marty Marinette's four for six way to pick me up Chris hey it's first game of the year kick him one under down there you go Antoni puts in the second one 65-61 had it to four several times there you go good help D travel no good AJ with a rebound up the pitch pitch got it slept through the defenders and put it up and made it got 23 9-15 shooting lay had it tipped away by pitch and couldn't quite make the save good hustle though just two years ago two players were playing against Julian Jones Flats now they're all on the same team kind of nice to see oh boy two guys on the block and they call a foul underneath and William Jones better get back by the bench or he's going to get a technical foul and Tony picks up his third and that was a tough break for Sheboygan two guys on the block and Tony picks up the foul well you shouldn't have let him get the rebound on the offensive end Davis has not been as stellar at the line in the second half as he was in the first he's made four out of seven only this half oh boy four out of eight we're only down two actually could take a lead with the three pointer pitch on a shot no good drew air but and Tony right there to pick up the loose change and put it in we're tied with nine twenty five left lay with a layup it's a nice play yeah it was nice reverse layup still nine minutes left a long way to go Teres has it on the wing they're still playing the zone circuit it's with a flat put it in a three pointer it's only a two pitch knit nails a two Chris wasn't quite far enough Davis looking to go to the basket fall was tipped away twelve seconds left in the shot clock oh boy and circuit itch is going to pick up his third foul can't guard out there don't be out there Bryce Thompson picked up the fall it's only he's going to be at the line shooting the one and one Chris was fall number seven we're all tied up they take out both big men Marty yeah they're going small interesting that's a deacon there we'll see how he does huh against this zone he may be able to get some openings we've got all three big fellas out on the bench now and I saw part of them being tall in the middle taking away the drive so hopefully the quicker lineup will do better trailed by two again yeah Thompson making a pair he gots a deacon the middle Chris playing a post Harry pops out he's open for a quick three ball but can't get it in and it goes out of bounds Antoni and Flats are going right back in what going to hold off on bringing them in I think Evan yeah because he's got four fouls but they're going to bring them in anyways with eight minutes left well I was thinking you can bring them back maybe once you get the ball back on offense short jumper is up and in by Melver and all of a sudden it's a four point game with eight minutes left and a timeout by Sheboygan thirty second timeout there you see butch Keynes in the house he's in the looks blue to you guys but it's actually a purple shirt he's got the light tan pants on so he is on the coaching staff this year a lot of dignitaries in the house there's Mr. Wright Penny Maletsky who is the guy you're talking to he's a member of the old-timers right yeah that's Sako that's a circuit to his dad yeah yeah yeah grandpa yeah you're right there's a really good crowd here tonight Julian Jones talking to Tom Rush one of the officials two percent again here in the second half shooting it's a four point lead for Marinette Sheboygan had it tied a couple of times E.J. has gotten hot here in the second half he actually had twelve in the first half he's got thirteen here in the second wide open from three ball land bounces off no good Jones with a strong rebound put it up no good comes Boyle that again lays it up and in tenacious Julian Jones that goes on Evan Plats number twenty one it's going to be his fifth calling it on Julian that's going to be his third guess where the buccaneers are again back on the line Davis had a 0 for two trip last time they're shooting about fifty three percent more of the game they're shooting about ten percent better than Sheboygan but it's only a two point game two point game and he missed the first of a and Davis picks up the follow right out in front of the official you don't want to be reaching around slapping at the ball that's an easy call third follow Davis yep seven thirteen left in the ball game Sheboygan down two chance to tie or take the lead pitch kick out to Jones three ball bingo Julian Jones gives Sheboygan their first lead of the ball game with six fifty six left seventy two seventy one and going hard to the hoop was Bryce Thompson he drew the foul on Antony that's his fourth 66 percent shooting here in the second half Thompson ties up the ball game Plats coming out circuitage coming in Nate had two points in the first half he's got two in the second half but he's been that big body inside Chris that makes a difference entire roster of the wombats is in full trouble Murray there's still seven minutes left they can't stop drive penetration they've had trouble with that they're either giving up baskets or they're falling Marinette back up on top they get it inside the circuitage good strong hands with the ball keep it from getting tipped away we don't have to count on AJ yet AJ don't be afraid to shoot TJ's shot is off no good and it turned an ankle they're going to call a foul on pitch oh boy see this doubles are out double bonus it's only the second foul for pitch so he's in good shape in that regard Newman going to the line he was at the line one time in the first half had two for two trip well says ten fouls on scoreboard for Sheboygan but they're giving him a one in one there's no number 11 that's on the floor that picked up the foul I don't believe what the heck was that what happened there AJ trying to go to the baseline Badaway is no good not going to know how you're going to get out of your slump by not looking at the basket when you shoot Thompson another one of the Marinette fucking years that likes to go hard to the basket at the free throw line Guterres with his third foul and they're only down by one really it's amazing they shot 17 free throws in the first half to Sheboygan's four and I'll tell you they've got a huge advantage here in the second half also it's even greater Sheboygan has shot four free throws so far they've shot two four six eight ten twelve fourteen sixteen eighteen nineteen with that miss no seventeen with that miss this is going to be free throw number eighteen seventy four seventy two rolling under six minutes now left in the ball game it's been a very entertaining ball game Corey and Davis carried the Buccaneers in the first half it's been more of a team effort here in the second and off to Antoni coming down the lane but he short armed it too bad he made his last couple Davis scores on a layup attempt like the ball was slipping out of his hands but he was able to get enough spin to kiss it off the glass and roll it in they're up by four alright on a five oh run Marty circuit-titched feeling it nails a three that one was from three ball land and that was a bonus Davis giving up the ball is a good thing for Sheboygan Thompson with the advantage here on the drive dishes it off the hag now for an easy two good play by Bryce Thompson three point lead now for the Buccaneers Sadiq has it on top looking way outside the line couldn't get it Antoni with the rebound but there's a foul underneath I think they're going to call it on Marinette foul is going to go on Melver Sheboygan looks winded Marty yeah really especially their big guy here Sheboygan's used four timeouts already Antoni at the line shooting the one in one one in one Alex has got to make the first to get the second well he didn't short arm that one Chris nothing but the bottom of the net there's been a lot of action but you know who's really kind of calm and cool is TJ Pitch kind of just taking this all in here taking charge second year player here been there before right a lot of basketball left with four minutes and twenty seconds could help defense that time on Davis but then circuit it's not able to stop the driving Melver for an easy two three point lead for the Buccaneers rolling down to four minutes Antoni with a nice speed he keeps it up and in I'd keep going inside four minutes left he's wide open again and he scores the help, you had mentioned this earlier in the ball game Chris the help has to come earlier than when he's in the middle of the lane two feet from the basket well you just got it back off too don't let him drive penetrate so give him an extra step or two and they haven't changed that action the guys better than you so back off make them shoot a three I mean this team doesn't shoot threes you don't have to be up in their grill they've shot five threes tonight Marty made two that's not too bad two out of five well seriously two out of five isn't too bad forty percent but only shooting five is probably even better especially in in the 2017 season when everybody's shooting threes 18 second half free throws so far Chris the reason it's still close is they've only made nine compared to uh 15 out of 17 in the first half a lot of basketball left you know 35 free throws that's where I go I go deep Sadiq feeling it can't get it circuit-titch couldn't get it lay with the rebound and he loses it the rebound's hard to the hoop up an hand don't foul, got a lot of time Julian don't foul shot is no good Antoni with the board Sheboygan down one with the ball 320 left pitch kicks it out to Sadiq oh he couldn't get it had a wide open shot and Hagnal and Davis fighting over the rebound lost it out of bounds Sadiq's missed all four threes here in the second half he missed six of his last seven shots he too should think of somebody else to throw the ball to Jones has 15 second half points Chris 24 for the night circuit-titch needs a quick blow get Evan back in there with four fouls but Nathan's a little tired right to the fresh body the plaits his shot is no good but he's fouled from behind to the fresh body there Evan with his four fouls spent a lot of time on the bench see if Evan can get a couple of free throws to go foul was on Newman that's his fourth there you get a good shot on eight pardon me Evan nothing but the bottom of the net Evan a 6-6 freshman played it north last year we mentioned that put on some little girth Marty not as thin as he was when he played for the Raiders that's just his body growing into him Van Hood there there's an elite Goygen on top 83-82 305 left in the ball game Bryce Thompson look away pass Davis down deep shot is good once again too far extended let him catch it out there let him shoot this shot there 34 points on the night Chris he's not done definitely not done pitch kick out the Jones his flat put in three pointers no good Dawson on the board Jones no Buccaneers come away with it that's two big offensive rebounds for Dawson here that time they couldn't convert good help defense by Dawson lays three ball he's in oh my that one hurts Chris we're down four with two minutes left you said it you know for some to shoot the three they don't shoot them it's alright they're only down four you don't need a three pointer here good inside here pitch is going to shoot though bingo he's got it good call by my partner Chris right 87-86 Marinette on top 135 left feed the hag now gives it off to Melver Thompson looking to go deep couldn't get it Davis's shot from 15 is no good it's a shot he hasn't taken very often tonight and Tony no that was not a good shot but Chaboygan gets a break and comes away with it pitch off the glass he's got it he's got 16 second half points 28 in a ball game Bryce Thompson's shot is no good but he's fouled he'll be at the line shooting a pair I don't want to clarify something before Marty when they're down by four saying they don't need a three they don't need a four three but when TJ shooting it that's right that's a different story you're right that's a different guy shooting it then he's your best three shooter guy isn't that number 20 well AJ can hit him too we've seen him hit it over the years just not tonight I saw him hit a couple before the game alright Thompson Chris is five for five on the night his four points in the second half have all come from the line he's been heavy into driving to the basket this is when it gets a little difficult Marty it's a lot easier than what ten minutes left and there's 50.8 seconds left in the ball game yeah I did my best fans telling you that he was six for six on the night now sure boy again don't call time out here you know you don't want to call one yet there's a lot of game left used for ready I think he gets six in college Marty six okay Richard Barts and I were talking about that I thought it was five but Chris says it's six so we'll trust him I think I'm not sure well I like going inside Marty I know that's asking him if he wants a full or a 30 second time out it's going to be a 30 second time out Scott so we'll keep it here Scott Mailoff is our director tonight Richard Barts and running this top camera Sergey Molitor is down on the floor Chris Wright giving you the color commentary and I'm Mike Martin giving you the play by play it's been an excellent ball game tonight yes very exciting I think I'd go down low but regardless a big advantage for Sheboygan is they got their big guys out there that can crash the boards there's 50.8 seconds left oh you know this is something Marinette does too I like this they change up their defenses every once in a while especially after Sheboygan calls time out which you know again just changes things up a little bit see where they're going to go here they got the two postman one side one back to the regular offense 15 seconds left on the shot clock well Antoni was eyeing it up you wanted to shoot it but didn't 8, 7, 6, 4 shot good pitch Sheboygan with the lead 90 to 89, 22 seconds left the shot clock is off time out Marinette now there's no doubt in my mind who's shooting this one we are going to take a short break Scott it's a full time I want you to give us one commercial and then bring us back it's very sensitive to lights and sounds so he built secret hiding places where nothing could get in looking people in the eye it made him feel uncomfortable one day he found out he had something called autism his family got him help and slowly he learned how to live with it better early intervention can make a lifetime of difference learn the signs at autismspeaks.org back at UW Sheboygan Jack Snyder floor where Sheboygan leads it now 90 to 89 they battle back from an 11 point first half deficit to grab this one point lead Chris who do you think is taking that last shot I'm betting on numbers I'm betting on a three three or 23 Davis is 10 of 17 shooting tonight and uh Melver is what do I got him here for six of nine shooting so somebody with a three now the other guy that's been pretty instrumental here in the second half even though he doesn't have any baskets has been Bryce Thompson he actually has two baskets in the first half here in the second I'm going to have to get a stop don't worry, Circutich should be in the lane don't worry about Thompson out there getting the lane big boys nobody's in the lane Davis no good Circutich with the rebound Sheboygan has it and AJ Guterres is followed with 6.6 seconds left by Max Melver I'll tell you that was a wide open look for Davis and he missed it it's been a shot he's made all night you're right and he got what he wanted there now this is a one-on-one Chris it should be they've only got nine fouls on the board for Marinette Coach Greenwood pulling his players off the free throw line putting them back on defense there's still 6.6 seconds left now the official signal one-on-one so AJ has got to get this one in to get the next one and that's his first point of the night Chris he couldn't have picked a better time and it wasn't a three wide timeout full timeout Scott let's take another break Chris and I are trying to catch our breath your daughter just had her first break up do you A. put yourself in her shoes B. console her don't worry sweetie this is going to happen a lot for C. find her a new boyfriend nice single boy that was weird as a parent there are no perfect answers but you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent thousands of teens in foster care will love you just the same when I was six my days back at Sheboygan's series see butch Kane putting his two cents worth in Sheboygan's got a two point lead with 6.6 seconds left Chris you definitely want to make this one I would think for some to throw up a three ball well yeah and I was just looking at who shot the threes here Newman's shot two threes and Nega Myers put up two threes what I want to make sure is if they miss here is they just clog that middle there make them force something out there because Davis can get down that bat basketball who excuse me did basketball court in six seconds no problem I would just be in the lane if I was the Wombats but hopefully A.J. can clutch up and make this free throw good shot A.J. right there put it in A.J. come on buddy he's got it Sheboygan coming up on defense who wants it you need a three you need a three they're going to get one short Sheboygan wins it 92.89 on a combat victory Chris well it wasn't easy Marty definitely wasn't easy a great win what a game very exciting game for our first game and they got some talent here Marty they definitely have some talents and they work together well I thought they played together well they didn't the shot selection wasn't all as the greatest but they were playing together and they pulled it out at the end when it counts I just want to talk a little bit about the pitch here again Marinette probably out shot percentage wise than Sheboygan but Sheboygan made some threes clutch I thought basketball down there stretched there by pitch we kind of mentioned with about four minutes left he was cool as a cucumber and he made his last three baskets Julian Jones attacking the glass doing a lot of things stuff you probably didn't see a lot of Evan Plats got some big offensive DJ Dawson not a thing I thought this team was kind of unique they got all these AJ's and TJ's and DJ's on their team which is maybe a thing for the Wombats looking forward to seeing them again some quick scoring here just a partial list Corey and Davis for the Marinette Buccaneers led all scores with 34 points leading Sheboygan was TJ Pitch he had 30 and Julian Jones shipped in with 24 Alex Antoni had 10, 12, 13, 14 15 points and those are your main scores excellent ball game Sheboygan a winner 92-89 our next ball game will be November 17 we're all at Lakeland University when they host UW lacrosse we look forward to bringing you that ball game for the crew and my partner Chris Wright I'm Mike Martin saying thanks for watching everybody and we'll see you down the road


Today we continue on with Chapter 1, the section Holeness and Spirit. The miracle is much like the body in that both are learning aids for facilitating a state in which they become unnecessary. When spirit's original state of direct communication is reached, neither the body nor the miracle serves any purpose. While you believe you are in a body, however, you can choose between loveless and miraculous channels of expression. You can make an empty shell, but you cannot express nothing at all. You can wait, delay, paralyze yourself, or reduce your creativity almost to nothing, but you cannot abolish it. You can destroy your medium of communication, but not your potential. You did not create yourself. The basic decision of the miracle-minded is not to wait on time any longer than is necessary. Time can waste as well as be wasted. The miracle worker, therefore, accepts the time control factor gladly. He recognizes that every collapse of time brings everyone closer to the ultimate release from time, in which the son and the father are one. Equality does not imply equality now. When everyone recognizes that he has everything, individual contributions to the sonship will no longer be necessary. When the atonement has been completed, all talents will be shared by all the sons of God. God is not partial. All his children have his total love, and all his gifts are freely given to everyone alike.  The specialness of God's sons does not stem from exclusion, but from inclusion. All my brothers are special. If they believe they are deprived of anything, their perception becomes distorted. When this occurs, the whole family of God, or the sonship, is impaired in its relationships. Ultimately, every member of the family of God must return. The miracle calls him to return because it blesses and honors him, even though he may be absent in spirit. God is not mocked, is not a warning, but a reassurance. God would be mocked if any of his creations lacked holiness. The creation is whole, and the mark of wholeness is holiness. Miracles are affirmations of sonship, which is a state of completion and abundance. Whatever is true is eternal, and cannot change or be changed. Spirit is therefore unalterable because it is already perfect, but the mind can elect what it chooses to serve. The only limit put on its choice is that it cannot serve two masters. If it elects to do so, the mind can become the medium by which Spirit creates along the lines of its own creation. If it does not freely elect to do so, it retains its creative potential, but places itself under tyrannous rather than authoritative control. As a result, it imprisons, because such are the dictates of tyrants. To change your mind means to place it at the disposal of true authority. The miracle is a sign that the mind has chosen to be led by me in Christ's service. The abundance of Christ is the natural result of choosing to follow Him. All shallow roots must be uprooted because they are not deep enough to sustain you. Illusion that shallow roots can be deepened, and thus made to hold, is one of the distortions on which the reverse of the golden rule rests. As these false underpinnings are given up, the equilibrium is temporarily experienced as unstable. However, nothing is less stable than an upside down orientation. Nor can anything that holds it upside down be conducive to increased stability. And from the workbook for students, lesson number four. These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room, on this street, from this window, in this place. Unlike the preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply the idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them as subjects for the idea. Do not however select only the thoughts you think are bad. You will find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a sense, none of them can be called good or bad. This is why they do not mean anything. In selecting the subjects for the application of today's idea, the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use quote good thoughts as well as quote bad. None of them represents your real thoughts, which are being covered up by them. The good ones are but shadows of what lies beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The bad ones are blocks to sight and make seeing impossible. You do not want either. This is a major exercise and will be repeated from time to time in somewhat different form. The aim here is to train you in the first steps toward the goal of separating the meaningless from the meaningful. It is the first attempt in the long range purpose of learning to see the meaninglessness as outside you and the meaning full within. It is also the beginning of training your mind to recognize what is the same and what is different. In using your thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify each thought by the central figure or event it contains. For example, this thought about blank does not mean anything. It is like the things I see in this room, on this street, and so on. You can also use the idea for a particular thought that you recognize as harmful. This practice is useful, but not a substitute for the more random procedures to be followed for the exercises. Do not, however, examine your mind for more than a minute or so. You are too inexperienced as yet to avoid a tendency to become pointlessly preoccupied. Further, since these exercises are the first of their kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in connection with thoughts particularly difficult. Do not repeat these exercises more than three or four times during the day. We will return to them later. These thoughts do not mean anything. Today, we begin a practice of meditation. The workbook lessons are guiding us, helping us train our minds to meditate. And the first three lessons, which are nothing I see means anything. I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. I do not understand anything I see. These first three lessons are the very beginning of letting go of all meaning of what is perceived. All meaning of the linear, perceived world of time and space. It's like the first three lessons are opening the lid of a can. And then as we peel that lid off, we are told these thoughts do not mean anything. So today's lesson is the first lesson from Jesus that is addressing thoughts. The first three lessons addressed perception. And now lesson number four addresses directly the thoughts that cross the mind of a sleeping mind. And initially he says this lesson will be different in the sense that it's not beginning with the idea for the day. It's just beginning with noting the thoughts that are crossing your mind. Just noting them. Whereas our first three lessons were looking around, letting our eyes rest on anything that they seem to light on. And using that as a way of seeing that they, images, they just don't have meaning. And that everything that seems to be a meaning has been assigned by the mind.  The sleeping mind has assigned that meaning. And now the focus shifts to thoughts. Because thoughts seem to be very intimate when you attempt to share your thoughts. By using words, there's a feeling of sharing something that seems to be very, very intimate. More intimate than the images themselves. Thoughts arising in consciousness seem to be possessed by the mind that is asleep. And as we begin to see the meaninglessness of the thoughts that we think we think, the thoughts that are crossing through our consciousness, through our awareness, and we begin, just begin to see the connection between these thoughts that we think we think and the world of time and space that we think we see, we are taking our first steps toward the goal of separating the meaningless from the meaningful. Because these thoughts that are just crossing awareness seemingly all day long, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, these thoughts and the world of images that seems to be there are actually connected. They are actually the same. And these thoughts are not real thoughts. These thoughts don't have any meaning because they were invented. They're fiction. They're fantasy. They aren't created by God. They don't come from our source. Our real thoughts are underneath them, are buried underneath them. These glorious, glorious thoughts that we think with our Creator, these thoughts of pure, pure love are real thoughts. And so today's lesson is the first, the first attempt here in the workbook where Jesus is joining with us and saying, I want to convince you, I want to convince your sleeping mind that the thoughts that you think you think all through the day are not really what you think because they're not real, because they don't have any meaning. Children who are asleep play with false concepts of the self, false thoughts, false images. And it's no wonder that Christ is beckoning to us, calling to us through every upset, through every perception of pain or fear, guilt, shame, doubt. The Christ is calling to us saying, this need not be. They aside these tories of unreal thoughts and come within, come within to find meaning, come within to find purpose, come within to find your true identity as the living Christ. Not a man, not a woman, not a human being, not a character with a role to play. These thoughts do not mean anything. And as we look around in our mind we see that there seems to be only one station playing initially and that's the past future channel. If our thoughts were a radio station that was broadcasting, they could call the radio station past future.  And these thoughts do not mean anything. Some of you are familiar with Zen Buddhism. Form is empty, empty is form. And why is form empty except these thoughts of form, these thoughts of past, these thoughts of future do not mean anything. Now we can relax as we give our mind over to this beautiful thought for the day. These thoughts do not mean anything. And we can trust that we are being gently worked with, that the realization that this lesson points to is absolutely profound. And yet nothing is taken away. It's just a call to realize, to recognize what has no meaning. And the ego may tempt the mind during the day to put some meaning back on the thoughts. It's as if there's a reason for these thoughts. It's as if there's a value for these thoughts. As if some of these thoughts can help you, protect you. As if these thoughts that cross the mind all day, these fleeting thoughts. As if these thoughts can be you, which is the farthest thing from the truth. The very, very farthest thing from the truth. So we now make the attempt to stop and watch and sink within, toward, be still, and know that I am God toward the truth of our being, away from the temporary, the ephemeral, the fleeting, and inward toward certainty, practice, with focus on this idea for today. These thoughts do not mean anything.
