I mean the excitement level off the charts I mean when I played they had peach baskets. I don't know about you. Maybe they they cut out the hole in the beach basket for me Yeah, we got a nice crowd here tonight I mean everybody else support in our use and that's where it starts Nara starts at the home and these kids are getting a Lot of support so and yeah And we're gonna have the organizer of this tournament the founder to come in Reggie Steven San Cruz high school legend here talk about it in the halftime explained It's gonna go for scholarship money for these kids Hopefully down the line as well Reggie's just a great guy had an opportunity to Reggie played football obviously, but he played in the summer classic basketball tournament and at his height He was throwing down some dunks and just gonna be great to talk to him about it exactly So the north squad the home team so they'll be wearing their white They're wearing their school unis and the south squad from Monterey County will be in the black dark jerseys as the road team So tipping it off For north against south it's gonna be Gavin rapier for the south and joe ord for the north And south wins the tip Ball going inside Heightsman will kick it out to cooper smith smith finding abraham calderone The little point guard dumps it inside the gavin rapier and first foul of the game will be on joe ord slv A nice post-up move by number 43 heightsman Or excuse me 34 Gavin rapier good good post-up move there Rapier 13 year old six feet tall already plays for buena vista middle school in selenus A lot of the kids on this team you can see wearing the buena vista uniform Yeah, nice free throw form by gavin right there getting his sop down the standard operating procedure Tiger does it on the golf court. I teach my kids at the free throw line So quick two nothing lead for the south as the north comes back the other way Nick rose We'll kick it to the corner the three point shot from rodriguez is no good and heightsman with the board Yes, sander just plugged that one in from the side a little early for that He's more of a tempo player and he loves that up tempo basketball Calderon three top of the key drain to take five nothing south. Oh, abraham calderon nothing but the twine north monoray county middle school product And they're turnover by the north Now the other way the big man rapier will find smith for the layup and a quick seven nothing You wanted to start in the first minute of the game calderon and smith. Hey one thing about this south group Nara is there a lot of buena vista players. So the chemistry is a little bit Bit tighter now check out the overplay here folks. This is a great job by Buena vista And calderon and a nice dish early you want to dish that pass off early in that fast break And it was a good job good transition move Rapier the big man passing it off to the little man for the finish usually the opposite But right there a good job and south leading seven nothing just Less than a minute into the game pat jones having to call the quick to yeah And like I said, I'd be pat is these coaches. Hey, yeah, it's a amateur game. Doesn't mean anything Let's face it. You want the w in the all-star game nara and pat just wanted to right now That's a smart time out to get there's a shot of cooper smith Coop we're gonna call him coop today So the team's getting ready to go back out on the floor North going right to left on your tv screen So sandor renais rodriguez from moorland norter dame brings it up inside Ord We'll kick it to rose Now rodriguez To cameron jones and up and in a good job by cameron right there cameron works the paint Really well and cameron's got no excuse not to be a good player That's right. Dad is pat and his mama's monique. Oh, yeah coaches at sancruz high girls team. No excuses there Oh, but the move by rapier to put it in for two a gavin did a nice spin move right there very comfortable around the hoop Now rose on the right wing The kick out for the three just off and rapier with the rebound That was tanner kane murray of slv with the shot Rapier all over the all over the floor the turnover by nikio mani maron and north Drilling down behind the back rodriguez looking for or just a bit behind on the turnover I think the north is going to need that up tempo game Now smith looking for someone to get it to he gets the cow to roam. Oh, he could fire And he fires it in he's ac is cool ac is cool, baby 12 to south Early in the first quarter. It looks like a bwenevis is out in the 3-2 zone And they're just trying to crunch it the north just trying to crunch it into the cam jones could do it Heightsman another board for the south And now smith dropping it for coderone already has two thought about another one Now smith trying to go baseline Tanner kane murray shuts him off against the steel Good pick by tanner got to play some d to catch back up north and he wants to go coast to coast Just off and rapier grabs the board Rapier working working hard out there Rapier has very good size for someone in his seventh grade year already listed at six feet tall now cooper smith The boinevista bobcat looking for his teammate coderone And if you're looking at the north team, you're looking at a standard man-to-man defense no zone in pat pat jones's diary The lefty up smith and then rose with the board might have gone with a little shuffled there But rodriguez will bring it back for the north And he looks to go all the way a little too hard or it couldn't get the board and now coderone pushing Sandor forced that one And the foul call there on the north squad will take coderone to the line to shoot two Well, if it's any indication of how we shoot from the three-point line, these should be like chocolate cupcakes rodriguez called for the foul Called her on a five three guard at north monoray county Maybe he needs a backup narra. I think ac needs the backup. That's where he hits the twine couple of substitutes into the game Coming in for the south side. We got trevor simon and daniel higman simon another boineuvistic kid and higman a carmel cougar So second free throw coderone makes it 13-2 south by 11 So it looks like the north the only success they have is going inside the cam jones right now because the outside shot's not working Zone defense working well so far kane murray with the miss And it'll stay north basketball pat jones coach pat jones He loves to work that inside out game and that short corner hit the guy at the free throw line and have him work high and low It's almost like a high low Board in bounds gets it right back the jump stop in the lane called for the walk too many steps Yeah, too many steps on that one got a little excited there So it looks like all the kids on the south are wearing boineuvista units even though they're not all boineuvista kids Now coderone left side Swings it back around And the driving layup good by trevor simon oh simon went hard to the rack right there nice right hand drive simon 510 out of boineuvista Boy boineuvista had a pretty good team. Oh look at rodriguez from way downtown No good long rebound goes to simon now simon up the right side waiting for his teammates Looks like pat jones getting ready for a line change substitution As the ball goes out of bounds and here we go the north Five men in oh the shuffle. It's the pat jones shuffle So maybe maybe the kids on the on the north had a little Butterflies right there no doubt about it. I'm sure if you have butterfly means you care Nothing wrong with that, but we have a slew of north players into the game I see evo lassage from noter dame is in there also number two jack biddle number 23 jack wolf from aptos and 45 big rubin Abara And odis lamakia 22 guarding the inbound See if this group what this group can do Boy they come in down 15-2 Going to be tough And joe ordo already has two fouls. So that's another reason he needs to sit down for the north The wolf tough defense right there on trevor mulhern Now cooper smith looking to go baseline lefty Swings it over to mulhern who drives puts it off glass just off and the rebound pulled down by Mission hills rubin ebara. I love those mic'd rims man. We're getting a really good feel out of our headphones on this Now let's see what this north backup crew can do jack wolf aptos junior high c dragon 13 year old 5 7 kicks it to the corner Oh, he's got to take that. I think nara lamakia not looking for the shot ebara the big man Used up his dribble had to kick it out. They're going back inside the repost And swinging around for three off glass. No And the rebound pulled down by the south pigment push it up ahead to mulhern Off the glass and ebara will look ahead to wolf too far simon with the steel on that Wow, I love the up and down game Now a couple of sloppy possessions by both teams wolf trying to drive Oh scoop up and in little little ricky rubio there By jack wolf jw nice scoop layup His favorite pro athlete monta elis that was a monta elis absolutely absolutely Now the three from the lefty simon Trevor simon the southpaw from three 18-4 south is just on fire this quarter Trevor simon put five points for him off the bench lamakia Throwing it away simon everywhere for the south squad. You got a fake high then go low or fake low and go high You got to put a ball fake in there Smith kick it out to simon just made a three last possession down Inside smith the little man reverse layup no good Higman tried to tip it up now rapier saves it for the south Rapier just an animal on both the offensive and defensive boards. Look at that reverse pivot shot Gavin rapier the fundamentals Unbelievable. I mean that's good stuff right there. Gavin having a great first quarter Lamakia swinging the wolf now left side They go around the horn and the three thrown up and no good by lassitch And the south right now just keeping it one and done for the north squad Yeah, great offensive defensive rebounding by the by the south Under a minute to go here in the first quarter south dominating play here in the central coast middle school all-star classic But the turnover there and the north will have a chance with just under 40 seconds left You know if if they can start hitting those outside shots It's going to stretch your defense then the middle will be open But until you start hitting there's nothing they're in a 3-2 zone that baseline shot is going to be open And they're missing it. That's where the shot's going to come from lamakia misses the corner three now mulhern I like this mulhern Good ball handling skills a little man 13 year old from boy in a vista Simon out to smith for three straight away good Wow, what a first quarter for the south great job guys 23 points the north just shooting two of 11 from the field evil's got to cast it And evil drains the three from the right corner And that is the end of the first quarter the south monoray county 23 north santa cruz county seven Yeah, one thing you're going to have in pat jones's huddle is a no panic situation right now But pat is a great coach in what he did right there The blend of this is playing a 3-2 zone So the baseline is going to be open. We saw sandor take a couple evo Hit one right there. So it's only a matter of time before they get cranking And let's take a look at this day in basketball history on march 11th 1892 the first basketball game was played in public The springfield college students taking on the faculty at a local ymca the students dominated winning five to one The one was scored by a name. You might have heard of aimos alanzo stag He was an instructor. He scored the only goal for the faculty. He went on the fame of force mojo It's a football coach, but look at that five one. Hey and look at that. That's that peach basket I was talking about that's what you that was what you were shooting on Nora, I went to that ymca and I step I have a picture me on those steps in springfield, natsachusetts I was just out at the basketball hall of fame in the springfield a couple weeks ago. Is that a great place? Great Exponent. So let's take a look here at some replays from the first quarter of action There's gavin repair with that the big man thrown to the little man cooper smith a little vice versa there And i'm sure uh repair is going to get a little feedback right there Here's cam jones in the inside It seemed like they were successful inside with cam jones and again if they can establish an inside presence Then that outside game will pick up A couple of stats for you from the first quarter of action the south four for four from downtown three point range That's 12 points right there meanwhile the north overall shooting just three for 12 right can they can they uh keep that up So second quarter action still have the second unit for the north in there and the drive by lassage No good gets his own board kick out to lamakya lamakya trying to penetrate the zone from the south Here's lassage right corner three just off the mark higman boards it for the south and gets it to molhorn to push it up trevor molhorn 13 year old guena vista bobcat His favorite player kevin durant Oh the tarantula And now trevor simon who had a big first quarter Looking to smith smith another lefty puts it up No good lassage grabs the rebound and will kick it out ahead to wolf Wolf tries to go behind the back and it's out of bounds. It'll stay north basketball Well, good job by by the north getting back on defense of thwart wolf's efforts for that fast break great job A lot of quickness out there Inbounds goes to biddle biddle grants a 40 middle school Now biddle's got to fake that pass. He's got to fake higher go low like we said earlier He's smaller, so he's got to use the ball fakes to his advantage There's that short corner to last it that inside outside game and inside ruben ebara gets the Layup to give the north their knife point of the game and again That's the coaching of pat jones. He will find a way to get it done Ebara just his first year of playing organized basketball. He's a wrestler And a football player also plays some baseball Nice defense by the north right there get another best slowly crawling back Big possession right here. Keep the momentum going. They're going to work that lassage short corner wolf top of the key Now lamakia for the three a little bit long, but lassage with the board Kick it out to wolf wolf pump fake drive jump stop in the lane. Good Nice nice job by wolf right there the pump fake We got the defender to leave his feet and he made he made his way to the basket 23 11 south up mohearn the three hierarchy. No good lamakia rips the board Now wolf will bring it up right now if your coach repair you might want to change your defense because they're getting very Uh used to this three two Lamakia the quick move just a bit short tapped out of bounds and north basketball Yeah, lamakia is getting looks all the time and here comes the pad jones shuffle once again It's like ice hockey put in the whole brand new unit like change So the starters for sancros county back in good job by the we'll call it unit b Second unit. I don't like that. You don't like that. No, I used to be on the third unit That's why freeze back bad memories And biddle there with the reach in foul ball be taken out of bounds reaching in Again, while the the unit a was out Out of out of and and jones was talking to him now They're back in and they'll utilize the same attack system against that three two There the reverse pivot but the shot comes up short joe orte of slv middle school grabbing the board rodriga is looking for Cam jones and deflected out of that what you're gonna get from rodriga She's gonna get a little flash but with that flash and hustle you're gonna get some turnovers A couple of subs for the south, okay, they'll run a play called box right here Look for Cam jones possibly on the screen the screener Out of bounds will remain north ball Now coach coach is taking a very good time out He's gonna run an inbounds play and he he knows that this is a very important possession and he's gonna get there right now Coach pat jones is gonna draw it up in the huddle here Right now if you're the what right now if i'm coach repair Here we go, take a listen to the huddle for pat jones Ball's over here Nick i want you to come around tanner you're coming all the way to this weak side corner, but joe you're coming in pinning this guy Camman you're diving in pinning this guy, all right, so we're looking for joe and camman that's inside position right there And if not, you've got tanner in that weak side corner All right now let's listen to todd kesler in his huddle One on three one two three So this is a play where both post players are going to look to seal their Man and look for an easy layup bucket. So let's keep an eye on number 32 joe ord and number 20 Cam jones here we go somebody's going to swing around all the way to the side And there there he is There's sand or That's regan high arcing three no gets his own board and dishes that jones In and out and the foul called and it'll be North basketball out of bounds it looks like see who the foul is called on here Now it's gonna be on justin para With the push so out of bounds for the north trailing 23 11 516 to go here in second quarter action of the central coast middle school all-star classic narrow wing and john pinkelly with you on ctv sports and cameron jones inside Partially blocked and there's cooper smith with the rebound nice seal by jones just couldn't convert the layup But he did did a good seal Smith it's very comfortable with that ball out there great playmaker for buena vista for the South team I like cooper smith tough kid smith top of the key left. He puts it up and in Tell me the kids got it the kids dialing tonight Cooper smith him and simon too left. He's doing it for the south squad Swing around to tanner came murray now rodriguez back To murray from three long and rapier has the rebound But he throws it away trying to outlet it to nico jones So the north gets it back on the turnover trailing by 14 murray's just a little bit off from that wing spot As a shooter you got to keep keep positive keep your head up Inside the jones up and under And draws the foul there on big number 50 match shapiro Yeah, shapiro played some good defense, but it was a nice low post move the up and under move by cam jones Who goes to the line shooting a deuce? Cameron jones as we've mentioned Is the son of patrick jones the coach of the seventh grade all stars 25 11 4 23 left here in the second there's a nice shot at camp What a nice kid this guy is Great kid. Oh look we got a little press going on nara See what this does pat jones implementing the full court pressure. Look Whoa nearly results in the turnover. It'll be a held ball. Very strong kid right there Gavin rapier very strong boy. He is going to be something to watch in high school And there's a wait a minute high school. There's seventh grade eighth grade next year. Yeah next year I'm gonna pay attention to him. There's coup smith. That's his teammate screen for simon Now trying to look inside the shapiro And shuffle the feet there trying to get it control the basketball good weak side helped by rod regus to make that turnover all right So rod regus will bring it up for the north squad Trailing by 13 points here halfway through the second quarter Inside the jones and there'll be a foul from behind Gavin rapier doesn't like the call, but jones stumbling a little bit draws the foul Coach jones looks like he's going to get wolf back in as well as for the south number 43 heightsman coming back in We got to be a timeout on the floor called here. I believe by todd kesler his first timeout used With the big 13 point lead 353 to go here in the second quarter and so far What do you think of how the pace of the game has been for both sides? Oh, I love it right now I think right about now The the butterflies are gone and now it's back to a regular game You got a wonder and I and I will say this is pat jones Possibly saving his best combination of five for the second half You know we talk about unit a and unit b Maybe he's just doing it and so i'm looking for the second half Here's smith right here. He's a gamer only in seventh grade But a nice left hand toss shot and he's been hitting the net a high shooting percentage by the south team has enabled them To take this 13 point lead, but I believe at the beginning of the game is 15 too So from that point it's been back and forth ever since exactly so Cooper smith let's talk a little bit more about him His favorite athlete is derrick rose and so far He's been showing some derrick rose type moves to get in the lane like that lefty move that he just made Also plays football and baseball and His favorite team is the warriors though Oh Why are you looking at me like that? He likes derrick rose, but his favorite team is the home team, isn't it? Oh, you southern california boy. I'm just saying that you know, he doesn't have a favorite warrior though His favorite player is derrick rose That's a nice choice. It is a good choice. All right So here's jones inside Three men around him goes off glass a little bit short But grabs his own board kicked to the corner rodriguez looking for ibarra And now they've gone a little bit big for pat jones ibarra and jones both in at the same time Yeah, this looks like a good unit a little bit more of what jones might like right there You know these players are getting caught with some passes that rodriguez is getting them not ready And wolf with the three Oh, yeah, wolf's going to be that shooter that's going to follow on For the great shooters at aptos high school coach joey smith going to love to get him And again, like you mentioned amping up the defensive pressure and that forces a little traveling call right there Yeah, so that press Did did mix up the tempo a little bit and I think this is This looks like the right unit for the north A little bit bigger and again with rodriguez going to show right also a good ballhandler though Slowly creeping back is the north Approaching three minutes to play in the second rodriguez ball fates Now or on the right baseline gets it across to jones a dangerous pass and jones has it stripped Smith up ahead and too far for heitzman. So the pressure defense is allowing The north to get some turnovers So north Having cut this deficit down to 10 25 15 They were in a big hole early as the south jumped all over them Wolf just hit a three thought about another one rodriguez will take it the high arc are no good But the big rebound by wolf and then a great move by couterone to take it away Yeah, great hustle nearly a backcourt there And a travel before the shot another turnover Hey, don't tell me these teams don't want to win and this is no amateur game Like we got a great crowd and these players are getting after it North and south county pride on the line between santa cruz and monoray counties I think wolf should have pulled the trigger the last time he got it nara Now he's gonna look to drive kick the ord ord up didn't look for the shot might have had one there Try to force a pass to jones instead Now smith double team in the backcourt needs some help and couterone comes to help his teammate out Couterone gets by rodriguez gets by abarra gets by jones.  Good job by abraham smooth 27 15 back to a 12 point lead for the south wolf finds jones on the baseline And he traveled before you can get the shot up A couple of subs coming in bittle and lassage for the north Ord and rodriguez will take a break with 137 to go till halftime 27 15 south on top Had jones just trying to find a combination that's going to work for the north squad And up here, oh that looked pretty clean by abarra, but it'll be It'll be a foul shooting Possible three shots there Two shots foot on the line. Okay I'll see nara. That's why you're the x and a nose person. I'm just You saw that I didn't see that Let's see. Let's watch it standard operating procedure two three dribbles Deep breath bend the knees follow through miss Always got to go to the free throw line and do the same thing It's a most different shot of any shot that you're shooting out there You should have your own standard operating procedure kids when you're out there Over two from the line and jones Nice box out by camp Now wolf looking to push like to see lassage get inside there Move around too Biddle left side To abarra. Abarra kicked a lassage lassage on the right wing driving baseline Nowhere to go stopped wolf had it open looked like he shuffled the feet a little bit, but he spins inside and just off Jones with the board fouled from behind two shot It's coming at the line for cameron jones.  Hey, you've got to give it up to cam jones working hard. Watch his move spin But there's jones trying to seal his man right there and he goes high up and just draws a foul What cam's got to do is become really good at the free throw line because he's going to be spending a lot of time there If he's going to continue to work. Let's see what cam does at the free throw lines Made the first let's see what he does with the second here we go one two three Deep breath bend knees follow through got it Nothing but net for cameron jones 27 17 10 points behind on the north here I think if they could just get it under under 10 in the single digits before the half the north will be okay But calderon's going to be tough So he is fouled and will go to the line to shoot to himself With about 54 and a half seconds left to go in the first half calderon the david among goliath out there But taking his little slingshot and slaying the dragon right there Calderon 12 year old guard from north monterey county listed at five three Now he's just in money all the first half Nice shot of our crowd. That's really indicative of what's here tonight. Everybody's here Supporting these youth players from santa cruz in monterey county Pat jones goes small for the final minute here with lamakia entering the game. He's putting in an offensive unit Calderon draining both puts it back up to 12 point lead for the south All right, well wolf has some offense He needs to hit that shot and he's been cold his first half Lasich grabbing the board and he is fouled Lasich versus calderon there. We had 59 versus 53 Tough for abraham calderon All right, let's see what they do out of this in bounds They got some screens. There's jones trying to get open nothing there whatsoever Calderon being guarded by lasich pressure, but they're going to repair And they call it travel contact there Someone was looking for a foul either way, but instead they go with the travel Here it is right here. Nice defense by evo bats. It's getting back He drops it off to repair and repair does the all right. So back to live action here Wolf top of the key drive kick and he shuffled Too many steps. Lasich did get that one, but too many steps There we go So todd kesler telling his team to play for one shot here 20 seconds to go in the first half a 12 point south lead Man of man defense by the north Calderon all the way up. No good travel Took the extra step before putting it up and in yeah, somebody needs to make uh, Abraham go left because he's been going right all first half Okay, now rodriguez in for biddle to try to get that one shot Biddle not a good first half shooting very important for him in the second half to get some good warm-ups Here we go 13.5 to go.

It's great to have you here. It's great to be here and thank you You guys for helping me put this event on and it's uh, I think it's a great turnout so far And it's just the seventh grade game. So so far intense games Still another game to go the eighth graders later on and you've got a vested interest in that. I know We'll get to that but talk a little bit about why you wanted to start this event The reason I wanted to start this event. First of all, I you know, I have two mentors actually three mentors, uh, tony hill Rest in peace. He was one of my mentors peat. No, it was one of my mentors and raymond fares, which was my trainer Throughout my college and nfl career and me and him we helped start sa ffk Which is a non-profit to help give back to kids And uh, once I moved back to here that was kind of like my my goal I I coached at scott's valley I gave back there Then I started training kids on my own and then I wanted to you know, leave my name here some kind of way But also help these kids out and the families that don't that can't afford AAU or some camps. So this is my way of giving back help raise money So we can continue these kids with their success and athletics and things of that nature Hey reddy, I don't know if you remember me, but I put on this make-a-way summer classic I used to play in it and used to play on my brother's team. So I know about what it's like to you've received Right now more more importantly It's to give back to the community and you're planting your seeds and this is a great event to get that seed planting started What else do you have in mind in that brain of yours for future events future events? I do want to do some some things like the make-a-wish. I don't know what we probably can't call it the make-a-wish But we'll do some of that nature. Also. I want to get into all stars for football because that's my background Right, but uh basketball was my background as well. I just was a little short Anything I can do to help you out on some of those things. I know we could put our heads together and do something good But I want to tell everybody uh around this couple months ago. We held an eighth grade basketball tournament called the ed kelly classic Down in watsonville. It's been going on 18 years and this young fellow comes up to me and he says afterwards goes Hey, I want to do something. I want to put on some sort of an ulcer day and I say hey I'm behind you, but I don't have the energy to do it low and behold about 90 days later Here we sit in scott's valley at the first annual north south junior high So good job. You normally talk to talk, but reggie stevens walks the walk So we're looking for this becoming an annual event reggie. I know you that's what you wanted to be it will be it It will be oh look at Dave still got the come on sarah It will be an annual event and uh, I mean the way it turned out But I would like to give thanks to pat monique jones Raymond ferris, uh, it's I mean the list goes on tony hill, you know in his family Tara hill is actually here to present that ward and I think that's going to be a you know a nice special moment That's great. Thank you very much for your time reggie. We're looking forward to seeing kai jay in the eighth grade game All right. Thank you so much. All right. Thanks reggie Take care and then let's take a look at the highlights from the first half of action here in the seventh grade game Well, the first one is repair gets the ball in the mill. He does a nice reverse spin Right over the talk and they started off top but but the north answers with jack wolf and a nice spin move I mean this is an intermediate move right there up and under a la montae ellen and he nails it Next one rip here at the top of the key that reverse pivot You don't see it too much, but a nice soft jumper and a nice follow through Next we have smith the left-hander He had a fantastic first half both drives and outside now last it comes in for the north and answers It's a nice baseline shot There's evo. He's very comfortable shooting out there and they needed that They needed the outside shooting because vittle and rodriguez did not hit They go that short corner the inside game right there to evara. That's going to work against the three two zone Nora. All right, so that's a look at what happened in the first half where the south leading 29 17 We'll come back with second half action of the seventh grade all-star game in the central coast middle school all-star classic right here on ctv sports scott's valley high school where today It's the central coast middle school all-star classic pitting the best seventh graders in this first game of a doubleheader Eighth graders will be later south leading by 12 at halftime naro wang and john pengelly back with you here court side and A couple of big stat numbers to tell you from the first half for the north jack wolf coming off the bench seven points evo last itch had three rebounds But the south jumping out on the north abraham couter on 12 points jeremy heisman four boards And they really just jumped on the north before they even knew what had hit him exactly There's 15 to 2 before we knew what happened But here's one thing i want to point out rodriguez and biddle from the north did not hit anything from the outside And really they took about eight shots between them. They knocked down two or three of those and we got ourselves a close game So i saw biddle and warm-ups warming up and he was nailing them So let's see if his timings if he got used to this gym real quick So a little bit different lineup now Yep different from the starters for the north squad as last ish rodriguez Biddle right barra and or we'll start the second i think this is part of coach jones chemistry that we talked about South snow working that three two zone it looks like Yeah, it looks like it now biddle to rodriguez north side now Moving from left to right on your screen and last it's there couldn't handle a passive barra Had it to him that would have worked out well if he could have held on right because you get that ball to the Middle you got a three on two when he turns cooper and man and maran a little Miscommunication there so the turnover will go to the north right there's a couple of different ways coach jones can attack this He can get the ball right into e-barra at the free throw line and when he turns he has two people on the base So last it's left wing Looking for or covered well by heistman now last it's open Shot no good or tried to tip it, but there's calderone Abraham calderone. What a great first half he had Man and maran for three no good and biddle man and maran out there for the north grabs the board All right, there's an up tempo with a nice pass rodriguez to ord or it couldn't make it But I like ords athleticism Ord just a little too strong in the south now with cooper smith Nikhil man and maran you got to put two guys on on this guy Gavin rapier looked for the foul no call and no ord will bring it up with the day glow shoes Joe ord all the way out of bounds staying with the north rapier Definitely demands a double team on the offensive end. He is very dangerous and you need to get the ball out of his hands rodriguez taking the ball out Looking for someone to get open. There's biddle baseline good. That's a nice way to get off the on the charts right there Jack biddle with a nice four-foot jump shot on the inbound play from rodriguez. Here they are in a zone press And calderone breaking it and there's last it's the last man defending with the steel and ord running the floor up And no good short And ord what he's got to do right there is not get down about missing it, but go off to the board He got to follow right there. Exactly. You got to think next shot next step Brush it off Let's take a look at the replay here as he maybe took that extra dribble. They dribble that he didn't need to Right and you know what he he could he needs to work on his left hand because he was on the left side Okay, let's see what a big arbara now arbara And lassage went at it in the championship game So you could see with that's a great match up there But you also saw the the the chemistry of lassage to rodriguez For that fast break hitting ord. So this is a little bit better lineup. Let's see. They got it under 10 There's a bar at the free throw line spinning that ball doing to getting his sop down Takes his time Nails it two for two for a bar from the line cutting the lead to single digits We've got a one two one one zone press by the north Biddle knocks the ball out of bounds as the north trying to rally here in the second half Trailing by eight 29 21 About a minute 50 in to the second half Pat Jones trying to step up the pace by putting on the press Cooper smith trying to drive on biddle looked like he traveled. Yes, he did Yeah I mean smith wanted to take advantage of his height over jack biddle Right there and he got caught traveling There comes the north reguez who he's the state champion in the elks lodge hoop shoot Program in the 12 and 13 year old division. I mean that's an impressive stat And he goes from long distance three And yeah, that's that's the difference between the first and the second half with biddle and rodriguez being cold And that's what sandar needed to get unleashed State champion going for the state championships in vegas Wow called her on nice Now energy by the north simon and heisman fighting for it amongst themselves And that's going to stay south ball. It looks like no, it's going to go the other way thought it went off of rodriguez. Yeah, I did too North got a break there, but I like the energy that Oh correction and it's a correction. Yeah, it did go off of rodriguez. I think it was coach rippers Stance right there with both hands above his head. Here's a nice shot of it. Great job by the camera work Right there There it is. Yeah, sandar got it. Good job guys Inside now simon right wing smith Trapped by biddle now counter roll with rodriguez on him and rodriguez will get called for the rea sandar's playing defense with his hands And he's got to move his feet He's just got to do it That's something that he has got to be better at because he could pick up some ticky tack fouls And noter dames going to need him in the game next year Smith the right baseline gets the screen from rapier. He'll fire the three No spin on that one. It'll go long. Ibarra got to find a card to get it to Got to be exactly narra.  You're in trouble You're better off fronting them and looking for weak side help with lassits right there It's just no man's land if you're a good post player you want the guy on your on your back There's jeremy heitzman nice 5 10 forward out of North monoray nice size skits coming out of there. Looks like we got cam jones checking in along with number 22 odis La maquia la maquia la maquia There you go La maquia needs to hit that open shot. There's a little cold in the first half Off with bow free throws and cam jones gets the board right off the bench. All right Well, it's a five-point game north clawing themselves back into this thing Lassits swing it dangerous pass calderone tipped it Now lassits on the left driving in puts it up and in Down to the three-point lead for the south The home-blending konobli valley croatia is loving you right now evo With the bucket there and now turn over la maquia with the steel the press is causing problems Look at sandor the spin move try to go behind the back and turn it over to simon You're gonna get that with sandor. I'm telling you Now rapier drives on ibarra Misses it the heitzman there in the block by cameron jones and a traveling call. Wow Coach jones has his team playing up tempo Defensive intensity has improved and it's changed the complexity of this ballgame very quickly. It's a three-point game He's coaching it up nara. He's coaching it up Halfway through the third quarter here and things have tightened up considerably the north Trailing at the halftime by double digits has cut it down to three points coach pat jones the north Happier with what he's seeing here in the second half out of him And the travel there by simon a little too anxious to get to the turnovers are causing The south much dismay right now But it's because of the north's intensity defense and there's a good shot of the team hustling's off the court Calderon giving cooper a slap on the back put 20 second timeout called by todd kesler As he just wants to get his twad back and focused in this game as they've seen their lay cut down the three here In the third little confusion right there Kessler's trying to get his team to play together to not panic to take care of the ball They've turned the ball over a lot in this the beginning of the thing and it's because of the north's defense And again, we saw them get out to such a great start part of it Is maybe like you mentioned at the beginning a lot of point of vista players playing together used to playing together Only had maybe a week of practice time He's also our squad so now the north maybe have figured out a little bit more of how to play together They used to play against each other not together. Absolutely and a team chemistry is huge Here's a picture of evil lassage when he puts that ball on the You know, lassage is a really weird cat here because he has the outside game But he also has the low post now lassages He's going to run her in the in the six one six two range in high school So he's better facing the basket than Posting up and he has a lot to live up to his three older sisters. We're all a scc al players at st St. Francis. Yeah, that would that would be martina Martana Anna.  They really got after great high school careers by all three girls But we got the brother coming up shortly Rodriguez the high arching three No good and the call is going to be a push from behind looks like it may be on rodriguez trying to follow his miss Yeah, what do you think of that high arch shot a little bit too much? It's a little too much right there. I really do. I really do And I think it's maybe something as A youngster as you know a shorter height He's tried to do that to get it over guys, but as he grows up He's gonna have to not get that much height I'm sure his coach johnny came next year the eighth grade coach at Notre Dame will work with him over the summer as well Because also it slows your release down if you're trying to get it really does it really does I think it's just a little abnormal All right. Look at here's this press. This is what has the south confused So nico jones will try and get it to gavet Got a trap right You appear with a dangerous pass and turns it over to the north The press has definitely caused the south problems right here So give it up to coach jones for putting his team in this predicament, but I love this wolf kid Nara this wolf kid has it Leading score for the north in the first half jack wolf of aptos jr. High swings it Tanner kate morry for three and we have a tie ball game at 29 tkm from downtown And the block called there on wolf So the north has crawled all the way back to tie up the score 29 308 to go here in the third quarter Well between jack fiddle from v40 and tkm from slv. They got that outside. She do they need they're getting some scoring Jones to coutarone Repair open but coutarone says i'm gonna take a three and make it all abraham has been feeling it all day long Abraham gotta feel the energy here. That's great Now lassage in the left corner back to wolf wolf swings it to lemakia now murray. He just hit a three Oh rims out jones with the board And he will get the foul camera's great that probably shouldn't have counted it looked like it hit the support but Almost went in any way for some razzle dazzle. I love camera's animation right there He's really an animated animated kid a great kid. You could tell by his demeanor I mean if there's any knock against him, I would think maybe monique would agree with me He got to get a little tougher inside, but he's just such a nice kid See pats the calm one. Monique is the intense one And if if he gets monique's intense inside look out for this kid in the scc Off with the second free throw in the south rebound coutarone trying to look ahead throws it away This press has got them disconvulated. Look at the hustle. Look at these all starts hustling mara All over the floor tanner came murray comes up with a lemakia wolf top of the key pump fake drive dish Jones is blocked and if I was called on repair Yeah, and if jones could continue working that inside He's got a good free throw stroke. He can get anywhere from six to ten points at the free throw line right there See the good dish off on the drive by jack wolf. So wolf showing a little he can take it to score He can also take it to dish. Let's watch cam at the line right there What do you think of cam with the maybe a little bit behind the line? Yeah, I don't think he checked himself right there Nara you're picking up on all these good things my man So cameron jones, that's part of his maybe that's part of his sop.   I'm telling you Got yeah, I keep you right But he misses both yep and went short on him. That was the difference. So the north still trailing by two Couterone leading the way for the south 15 points. He hasn't missed a shot yet And he's three for three from distance, you know, what's really hurt I believe the south and it not I mean the north not really hurt is is rapier not being in number 34 Gavin rapier and I sure will see all of him in the fourth quarter So this is a time where we need to get everybody in the game Lastic in the left corner now wolf Rose is looking to get the pass for wolf dribbling now rose will get it Lassage going to high post inside the low post cam jones to lassage Oh the nice little over the left shoulder in the lane for the bucket to tie it up and we're bucked Not since zero zero. Have we been tied up? Mulherd off the side oh mulherd nice follow Loose ball will stay with the south 121 to go here in the third quarter. We've got a tie ball game at 32 Santa Cruz County Monterey County fighting it out in the seventh grade game of the central post Middle school all-star classic Trevor Simon walk by lassage Good job by evo. There he is in the open court gotta make good decisions Rose up walk Rebound to tanner cane Murray saves it to lassage to pull up long And that'll be south ball Lassage there tried to go coast to coast Block rebound drive almost had the assist rose just couldn't quite get it up. There's the press. Oh wolf should have had that one right there Now Simon The lefty dumps it off the Higman just nothing inside for this team. They have to get Repair back in in this fourth quarter Under a minute to go here in the third Jack wolf double teamed in the zone at the top Murray thought about the key lassage put on the line long two no good Jones another board by Cameron great job by jones And off the glass it in and for the first time in the game the north squad leaves Cameron Jones is working his tail off underneath and it's paying dividends for the north Pull up three by mulherd is no good long rebound Daniel Higman now Simon the lefty They have no low post scoring Calderon from through the Abraham Calderon who knew who needs the inside post scoring with ac out on the court Five seconds to go here in the third rose drives baseline gets it up and gets it in And the north will have the lead at the end of three 36 35 Santa Cruz county all stars leading in the seventh grade game. Oh, yeah, baby This is that this is going to be one heck of a fourth quarter. Nara Wow, have things gotten interesting here at scott's valley high. This is where it's out I gotta give it up In our abraham calderon for the south has kept this team in the game all three quarters Again with Gavin repair on the bench in the third quarter There was virtually no inside scoring and it was up to abraham calderon To just keep his team in this game on the other side of the coin. It was it was uh sandore rodriguez Evo lassage and cameron jones. There you go, nara. Let's take a look at some replays from the third quarter action Between the the north squad and the south squad Here just a scramble all out scramble on the floor. Yeah, there's cameron jones diving in.  He gives it up to wolf wolf pump fake Defenders left their feet. He gives the distant cam underneath cam gets a shot block But it was the defenders from buena vista are leaving their feet and you should never do that on the perimeter You got to learn to close out So we take a look at the south squad there. Todd kessler and his assistant hendry rapier talking it over trying to discuss strategy As they are trailing here going into the fourth quarter after leading the majority of this game But 36 35 the north climbing all the way back at it after that horrible start to the game They've gotten the lead here to begin the fourth. I don't see cooper smith or gavin rapier in for the south And that is a good that is a concern And of course if you want dvd copies of this game You can get them for 25 dollars go to community tv.org slash dubbs or call 831 425 88 48 for more information As we start the fourth quarter here with a turnover by the south and the north with the one point lead Pushing it the other way with jack wolf. All right wolf To tkm tanner kane murray That you borrow on the baseline for big mission hill. They're five wolf spin move tough move He kicks it out to tkm nothing there rose for three and long on the shot and borrow it with the board Looks the cameron jones jones low post Fall away jumper good for cameron jones. Oh jones is doing it from the inside and the outside working hard The south sure misses rapier And the full court pressure by the north squad Hanging dividends in the second half as moherne trying to find an open man find simon long two up in and out Rebound fought for it'll remain south ball daniel higman tracking it down now moherne kicking it to simon on the right side powderon hasn't missed a shot yet Covered up well by tanner kane murray Now the big man chapiro driving from the high post And couldn't quite get it up and in cameron jones protecting the rebound cameron just having a great game Here we go wolf. He has that spin move down a very intermediate move for a seventh grader Really impressed at his size and speed ibarra open in the lane doesn't get the roll and matt chapiro Ripping down the board there they come And i feel like cooper smith's going to be joining if we got some subs coming in the game Exactly what i thought smith and revere both coming in Trevor simon right wing three no good Rebound loose and tanner kane murray of slv middle school picks it up wolf very comfortable at the point guard for this And joey smith's got to be licking his job if he comes to aptoff's eye on that one tanner kane murray not good for k m Nothing a bit long straight on and now counter room the star of the south squad today. We'll bring it up pull up three No good the first miss of the game by abraham calderon and nick rose grabs the board, but then he threw it away daniel higman put on the line no good Out of bounds north ball and we'll have some stuff good hustle there Nara wang and john pengelly here at scott's valley high It's the central coast middle school all-star classic on ctv sports We've got a good one here in game one of two a basketball doubleheader for you today It's the north leading 38 35 over the south South led virtually the entire game until the end of the third quarter, but the north has steadily come back Well, we have a completely different team in here for the south right now And look for the south to go to end of repair and cooper smith to dominate the ball Inside ruben abara turn around puts it off glass ruben and borrow big ruben el hefe 40 35 the lead and wolf with a big defense knocking it out of bounds And you can see the north squad is pumped up. Yeah, they're getting pumped This defense is making their offense happen nara and the press is causing all sorts of problems for the south nicole mademira driving the baseline pull up blocked by jones rose picks up the board And he'll find rodriguez the wolf now. They're gonna look to push wolf Doesn't see any numbers. So he pulls it out smartly guarded by cooper smith. Oh the low dribble nice some nice handles there Now rose 3-2 zone by brunovista Falling off that abounds remains north ball. They have not changed their defense all game They're still in that 3-2 in that corners shots going to be open Coach jones going to draw up a play right here So coach jones will take the time out here with his squad leading by five 455 left in this game And todd kesler, we take a look at him in the huddle trying to draw something up to get his south squad back on track I mean with with jones being as active as he is defensively as well as uh, ebara, where's the scoring gonna come from? Let's take a listen to the todd kesler in the huddle One's gonna help here too. Remember you're only this far or you're only this far All right, that's not all shift and get caught for the pass coming back But their offense is here here. This guy pops out The ball comes here. This guy comes to the ball here This guy comes all the way over here the ball rotation is back here shot And for a team they've won a 3-2. So now you guys are in 2-3. It's gonna be easy Okay Kessler telling the defense what the north's offense is gonna do I think he's gonna switch it and move his defense to a 2-3 zone versus the 3-2. Let's see how they set up Couple of stats for you for the north. Cameron jones 10.6 rebounds to lead the way and jack wolf has 7 to help out the cause So now wolf thought about three off the inbound pull it out rodriguez the high arching three And the rebound fought for and out of bounds. It's gonna be north basketball Good hustle by the the north to keep that ball alive rodriguez couldn't hit that play See the north eighth grade squad there watching they can't wait to get out here Wolf the long jumper no good And now the south will try and go back repair to justin para Para on the left side has it taken by wolf with a foul call there on the reach wolf can't believe it Oh Justin para boy. Yeah, he got he got some help right there and he's loving the ref for that call got him with the hold Wolf is just a physical specimen out there. There it is right there. Justin picked up his dribble Wolf comes in but wolf gets tagged with the call Cooper Smith has got to get involved and use his boxy to lead this team back and there he fires up the shot No good the rebound being fought for in a held ball Possession looks like it's going to the north Wolf working real hard out there great physical specimen seventh grader unreal What a good body. He has an embasca ball savvy nice dribbling technique at his size to be point guard Reminds me of willy briquette from st. Francis sharks So george just came back in for nick rose now. It's a 2-3 zone. So now instead of the Barra forces one up can't get it. Jones with the save ords got it and he puts it in and everything's going right Everything's going right for the north North with a seven point lead now. Here's cooper smith looking for para Let him a little too much and here's wolf ahead of the pack and he will lay it up and in Jack wolf puts it to a nine point north lead And this game has completely swung around 180 degrees from the first half And there are reaching foul called on the north side Rodriguez got tagged for the foul right there again playing with their hands a little bit too much The fourth foul on sandore renais Rodriguez. So he will come out of the game Lemakia in to replace him and cam jones will get a break as well As last stitch back in good for the north squad good good good second half by cam jones right there Here's para Guarded by lemakia A little bit of a carry look like but they get away with it and now the shot up and no good Rebound loose and last it comes up with it. They have been Stuck on 35 for a while. Nara. There we go wolf with the ball Again, now we're going to two three zone and now your corner shot your wing shots are open not the baseline anymore There's wolf trying to sell one A double team up ahead now repair inside. No good Para gets the rebound man of merit for three go That was needed great shot by number 45 nick hill manamara So the south cuts the deficit to six trailing 44 38 here in the fourth quarter That's your shot open right there. Your wing shot will be open. It's two guys being guard trying to guard three Whoa driving baseline Stop no one to get it to finds ibarra. Ibarra puts it off off glass. No good in repair With the rebound I want to see a bar inside getting the ball He doesn't need to be shooting on the perimeter and just like that jones Coach jones didn't like that either Man of merit up and fouled and he'll go to a line to shoot too And I don't think coach jones liked ibarra shooting from the outside that big of a kid needs to be inside There's cooper smith gets a little pasta The keel manamaran the keel needs these free throws nara needs these free throws Got it. Love those mic nets First shot is good for ne keel manamaran Also a baseball player in his spare time and his favorite athlete michael jordan Not not a bad choice. He's wearing the number 45 for michael jordan. Oh Nara nice. I'm telling you you did your homework on google in yaku last night Good job The 45 was jordan's number when he decided to come back after baseball Nara Wang you are impressing me. Here we go 44 40 again two three zone by point of vista All they got to do is whip the ball around the top and somebody's going to be open for a wing shot And a high post open too if they get someone there or Gathers no good rebound to the south. No, they're going to lose it out of bounds And the north keeps possession under two minutes to go here In the seventh grade game on the central coast middle school all-star classic and the south coach Todd kessler calls a timeout with his team trailing by four. Yeah kessler wants a timeout right here So you see coach pat jones assisted by chris rose both of their kids playing here in the game I believe chris is a Assistant coach at new brighton where stew walters was a coach a couple years ago too and a reminder we've got DVD sales if you want copies of this game.

I'm getting hungry marinara monom Lemakia This isn't that there's coach jones. This game ain't over it with at all right there. He's trying to Good job with coaching Again, I will tell you that as a coach Coach jones at santa cruz for the varsity girls him and monique his wife have done just an excellent job An excellent coach to hang out with if you're want to get into coaching That's somebody you should call to hang out with and go to his practices and learn And he's also coached his son the last couple of years at mission hill. Absolutely The football pressure And a foul is going to be called here And now we're going to be in the bonus situation for the south right and what it was I'll tell you these free throws are huge. Who's going to the line is nick It looks like nakidals monomarra will be the free throw shooter for the south now Now this is the lineup if you're uh, the south with cooper and calderon in as your guards These are the guys you want you have man.  It's a game now. No need to foul.  Are they going to go inside the jones? Are they going to keep it outside with Lassage 44 42 the score There's a message Looks like the north's using up some clock Lassage left wing back to wall for the top now lamaki on the right side They got to shoot a cutter evils got to cut across that middle is wide open Trying to look for or look at that middle Look at that middle when it goes to the wing shoot over They're just going to work the ball around it looks like they're going to wait for you to get a great shot inside by camera Joe Okay, there we go calderon and cooper running the point for the south Here we go Abraham counter roll three straight away. No He would have brought the house down A couple of subs coming in for the north as rodriguez and ibarra come back in Couter road after such a hot start has missed his last few shots two noter damers two mission hills and thrown an aptos Maverick right there an aptos c dragon You got some of the best talent in the north being represented right now So a timeout called here 101 to go in regulations 44 42 north Ahead of the south after a game in which we saw the douth South dominate for virtually three quarters lost the lead at the end of the third quarter And then have come back and now it's a tight one with a minute left to go And that's uh, jeffrey dunn there long time sanikers resident and author jeff dunn big supporter of In the lives of the lives of sarah paleon. That's right And you know what jeff dunn really a great job with Supporting youth sports and high school sports in sanikers predominantly sanikers high school Definitely one of coach newell's favorite. There's coach jones right there Is So basically right now he's anticipating The south pressing and all he wants to do is get into sandore rodriguez from noter dame and clear out Sandler can handle anybody 101 in the open court now What he's also said was if you have a layup attack it and go for it, but if it's not there Don't worry about it. No need to score. So here we go. Well, they're not going to press They're going to hang back again. We have no shot clocked in junior high narah. So they could basically hold the ball All four quarters So let's see what the south squad does i think there's no reason to attack So they're going to put a little more pressure on staying in the zone, however And now lassits the three from the wing. No Rebound is going to go for the south Oh get the ball to cooper smith watch out for cauldron who could be open Smith looks to go all the way He puts it in we have a high ball game 44 a piece Oh, you couldn't have asked for a better ending to a seventh grade all-star game narah Now wolf will find lassits don't settle for the three north get it inside to cam jones 22 seconds to go Wolf at the top and pat jones wants a time I didn't like what he saw there with the ball just around the perimeter I'm wondering if we can get a camera into pat jones's huddle right now because this would be Very very interesting 20 seconds to go here the score is tied 44 44 there we go north and south and wow Can you believe it's come down to this unbelievable? This is excellent. This is what we wanted So pat jones drawing up the play for his north squad they have the ball Who are you looking for the ball to go to i have to say being Being from pat jones's camp. I would like to see a dribble penetration A dribble penetration with a short inside pass or a post up and get to the foul line I don't think they want to settle for an open look from the outside Not at this juncture And of course it looks like the south is going to stay in that zone They've played a zone the entire game first person was a three two then now this switch to a two three But it looks like they're willing and they want the north squad to try to take a long distance three Right, you might have a dribble and kick a dribble penetration kick We know that lassage can attack from the left side here There we go So last minute instructions from pat jones And uh, the north squad is also out of timeouts So they're gonna have to get it done here without any more help from the bench There's a nice shot of evil lassage families from koreisha Long time paro valley resident the lassage family There we go jack wolf to lassage on the left wing Now wolf they're gonna try and get the last shot off tend to go rodriguez on the right side Five seconds to go lassage drives puts it up The north wins on the driving layup hits the game with lassage Evil lassage on the feet from sand or rodriguez on the wing You couldn't have asked for a better finish What an ending to the seventh grade game of the central coast middle school all-star classic And that's just game one of a doubleheader here on tv sport I'm too old for this nara Unbelievable Here's the replay nara.

The Duffer Brothers are back with Stranger Things, season 4, part 1 of 2. They split this in half, and there's a lot of questions to be asked, but the most important one that stands out to me is, why don't the people of Hawkins, Indiana, move? I mean, at this point, I don't know why anyone's still living in this hellscape known as Hawkins. The place is a literal nightmare. What does the brochure even say at this point? Hey, come on down to Hawkins! Check out the demigorgan or the mind flayer!  This season's no better. Now they have Vecna.  For starters, he's wearing skin wrong. It's like inside out. He's got tendrils coming out of that thing, tentacles coming this way and that. Secondly, he's got scary CG bats that will do whatever he wants. And finally, the way he kills these poor kids. It's nothing shy of disgusting if it didn't look so fake. I've always been impressed with the visuals and stranger things. But as the show has gotten larger in scale, there's some noticeable issues going on in this department. The budgets may be stretched a little too thin at this point. Our boy Vecna is not going through the drive-thru. He likes a full-course meal so he can savor every bite.  And it's not just a wham-bam thank you ma'am sort of a deal.  And this is where the CG goes from serviceable to downright atrocious. It's like the budget kept getting thinner as they were going on. So the first time you see a person die, it's like shh, won't levitating in the air. It looks pretty solid. And then by the last time, it's just a cartoon. The last death looked like a character skin in Fortnite. I should probably talk about this season and what it's all about. There is a lot of plots going on and the directors have full-blown ADD now. They cannot sit still on one subject matter for more than five minutes before we jump to the next one and the next one and the next 30. It becomes very hard to keep interest which is why it took me so long to get through seven episodes of this show. Each episode's over an hour long as well, so these are super sized episodes. What ends up happening is you overextend the material to the point where it's not interesting anymore or you take things way too far such as getting bullied, which is a major issue in this town. Again, why are people living here? Actually, I guess the bullying doesn't take place in Hawkins because Elle, who's the one getting bullied, she lives in a new town. They moved at the end of season three to get away from the hustle and bustle and the monsters and the death and so now they're starting to fresh, starting a new. Elle doesn't have her powers anymore. How is she gonna deal with this? I can't wait to find out in 45 minutes when we come back to her eventually after doing a plot that takes place in Russia with Hopper. What's he up to? He's getting tortured and beaten and tortured some more and beaten some more and then he's finally tortured and then beaten but then we're gonna jump back to 11 eventually to watch her get tortured mentally by her classmates and teacher and skating rink attendance. The level of bullying going on in this show is astronomically stupid. I don't know what the Duffers grew up in and it's not just a mean girl clique or the douchey jocks, that's believable. No, this is the mean girl plus the mean teacher, plus the entire school, plus an entire roller rink.  They all hold hands basically in point. It's ridiculous and I know the Duffers sometimes try to ham it up and go over the top but they went over the top of over the top ham. It's ham on ham. It's too much. Too much ham. It's bad for you.  There are like a dozen plots in this show. Half of them I already forgot about and I'm not gonna break down the entirety of this series. I'm just gonna say I really like Stranger Things season one. Season two, big let down. Season three, I thought got a lot better improved and then season four here it's like half awesome and great but then there's all this other stuff that really dragged it down for me such as the over long 11 back story complete with weird deep fake technology of her young self like six different storylines around kid trauma alone and how they're dealing with it or more importantly how they're not. Nancy Wheeler and gang Scooby doing around town. Waenona Riders spies like us storyline. The introduction and character assassination of the Hellfire Club. Vecna's backstory double crossing shadow government agencies going ahead to head plus the introduction to several new characters one of which is fantastic and that's Eddie Munson played by Joseph Quinn. He's the older kid in the friend pack should have probably graduated a few years back. He also is the leader of the Hellfire Club. One of the major storylines revolves around him and how he's wrongfully accused of these murders.  Since that time I don't think the Duffer brothers have been able to capture that magic again because a lot of these kids who notably look much older this season some are unrecognizable at first until they start talking then I'm like oh it's it's you okay cool but even with those good memories it was still hard for me to get through this season I did and I enjoyed it a decent amount but I was I found myself frustrated with a lot of the plot points intentionally hammy or not I didn't feel it criticisms aside it's still doing enough to keep me invested for the second half of the season which can't come soon enough I am looking forward to it I just hope they tighten things up a little bit more you know cut down that runtime maybe not so much with the bully and stuff we get it everybody's got some baggage they have to overcome well there you have it my lukewarm thoughts on the new season of Stranger Things I've seen some comments online and people seem to be very high on this thing maybe I'm in the minority let me know in the comments below are you loving this are you all in or are you kind of like me and things just aren't really lining up like they used to so please leave a comment if you want like the video if you got some enjoyment out of this and maybe think about subscribing because I do tons of movie and tv show related content on this channel all the time I'd love to have you stick around take care since you're still here and I'm still pondering over this show is it just me or did like half the characters wildly change in personality or revert back to how they used to be Jonathan Byers for instance sucks this season it is just pathetic poor will why do they even save the kid in season one when he has nothing to offer the show they never give him anything to do and Robin who I liked in season three became obnoxiously annoying here what happened listen I know you're the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawk that's that's a power couple but uh I'm not feeling it I'm not feeling it this season do better


Now what we can do is we can get MRI scans of patients and their prostates in particular and with these very specialized MRI scans that we do you can see the area that looks most concerning for cancer And then you can do what's called an MRI targeted biopsy. So rather than just randomly sampling the entire prostate you're actually aiming the needle very precisely within a few millimeters into the area of concern and you're getting Precisely that tissue sampled and analyzed to see if that there's cancer there if we could have a way to diagnose someone that You felt confident that the diagnosis that you're achieving is actually what the patient has You could offer a wider variety of treatments in a more personalized way Treat their tumor in a less aggressive or a more aggressive way than you otherwise would have done That's where this New England journal paper comes into play what this paper Demonstrated was that not only is a target approach better at catching aggressive cancers But it's better at not missing aggressive cancers and that that was the missing piece that it took another five years to really demonstrate
