Hello, everybody, and welcome to the aquarium at the Lakeland University. Or tonight, Lakeland Muskie's host, Concordia of Wisconsin in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game. I'm Chris Wright, going solo tonight. Mike Martin is in Arizona once again, but we wanted to bring you this great game because tonight we have four kids, four kids from Sheboygan playing in it. Two for Lakeland University and two brothers from Concordia that are gonna be on the, I guess you could say the enemy side tonight. First of all, for Lakeland, we have Zach Hasenstein and Sam Kaminski, two players that played at North High School. And then over at Concordia, we have both Jacob and Jared Jerse, both Sheboygan and Lutheran grads. But on a side note to the Jerse boys, their brother is playing Jonah over at Lutheran tonight. So they had to actually split up their family tonight. But many of the jerseys are still here in attendance. Let's talk about our records today and we'll start with Lakeland. When we saw Lakeland about three weeks ago, they were six and two since that time. They've lost every game since. And right now they're sitting at six and nine, four and six in league play. On the flip side, when we look at Concordia, they are in second place in the league. They're nine and two. MSOE and Brian Miller, former Lakeland coach, is leading that squad. But Concordia has a very nice team, nine and five overall and nine and two in league play. And if the Muskies want to get back in it, this is a type of game that they're gonna have to win on their home court. I talked a little bit to some of the Lakeland people before the game and they're saying, Lakeland's starting to play a little bit better, but they just need to have a game where they can get things going. One thing they've been doing too much of, probably shooting a three. So they're gonna try to do a little bit more work inside a little bit tonight, instead of just relying on the three. What you're gonna see from Concordia is a team that's gonna be running up and down the floor. And they're gonna try to create easy opportunities in fast break situations like that. And as I said in the opening when I first started, is I'm very excited about tonight's game. And in about 30 seconds we'll get that way. But as we're taking a break here, let's take a minute and we'll listen to the national anthem. For tonight's Tokyo Athletics, we did a conference matchup between the Concordia University of Wisconsin-Velkins and your Lakeland University-Muskie, please remove your hats for the play of our national anthem. And now for Cedarburg, Wisconsin, number 24, Jordan Johnson, number 652 Cedarwood, Cedarburg, Wisconsin, number 55, Josh Alcino, number 12, Washington, Wisconsin, and Zang houses. Well there are your starters for Concordia and Lakeland. We'll watch Zach Cousins sign number 23 from Sheboygan, north averaging 11-7. And Jake Jurst, the senior, averaging 10-4. Jared has been starting. He's averaging 3.5 points per game, but he gets a lot more assists. He leads the team in assists 45 for Concordia. It's nice to see Pat McDonald back for Lakeland. They're leading score. He's been out with injuries, been playing the last couple of games. He leads Lakeland in scoring at 16-3. As I said, he's from Port Washington. He wears number 11. And we're ready to tip off here. Concordia will be in blue. And your muskies will be in yellow. And there is Jared Jurst handing off to his brother, Jake Jurst. Excuse me, Jake to Jared. That's Jared, number two.  There's Hasenstein on the dribble drive. And right away, Lakeland up with a three and it's missed. Rebound by Fransky, Andrew Fransky from Minnesota. He got banged before, number 22 from Concordia. The big player for Concordia is number 42. That's Josh Howe. He's a 3-point, excuse me, a thousand-point score for Concordia in his career. I believe just the 17th or 18th young man to do that at Concordia. And there's a three by Hasenstein, it looks short. Rebound by Fransky. And there comes the Falcons pushed by Jake Jurst. Knocked out of bounds. We're just underway, 1856, first half. Chris Wright going solo tonight. Mike Martin in Arizona again. Very excited just because of the fact of all the local ties in this game. And actually two teams that were supposed to go for the conference, Lakeland's not holding up their end. Maybe they can get things on track tonight. Jake Jurst, and there's a shot away. And again in a miss, and we played it a minute and a half and knew, but he has scored. Carlos Campos second in the team in scoring for Lakeland, number 10. Hands it off to Duffin over to Hasenstein who gets our first basket of the game. The kick out to Jurst for three. No good, Nygaard from Plymouth, number 34 on the rebound. That's Campos, Nygaard on the dribble drive, loses out of bounds, what they're gonna say was tipped. And I'm not helping the officials out with the ball that just rolled past me. Hase's gonna inbound it here, leading two zip. 17-52, left in the first half. That's Nygaard, Eric Nygaard from Plymouth and they're gonna say he traveled with the basketball. Johnson over to Jurst. Can't call him JJ because all the boys have a name with a J. Anna and then there was a miss by Jared. And here comes Lakeland trying to push it. There's a leaner miss, rebound by Fransky again. And this time Concordia loses it out of bounds. Saw Concordia play Mary in a couple of weeks ago as well. They got a nice team, very nice team. This is Pat McDonald, the senior, playing in just his fifth game. Dribble driving, basket's good for Carlos Campos and a four nothing lead for Lakeland. Jared over to his brother, Jake. And another Concordia turnover. Hope they're gonna get Jurst on the follow and we're gonna get a couple free throws. Going to the line will be Garrett Duffin. Duffin at 59% from the free throw line this season. Duffin from Princeton, Wisconsin. He's a senior out here and the second free throw is good for Duffin. That makes it five to nothing. Favor of Lakeland, 16-30 left. Johnson on a drive and they're gonna get a foul. I'm gonna say that Johnson wrapped him, but that's not going to go to any avail to the officials. They're gonna get Hasenstein on the foul. 85% free throw shooter gets the first one to fall and the first points for Concordia. Two for two trip, it's now five to two. Donald, again not a lot of movement by the muskies. Now we get a pop out and a three point shot goes in and out for Campos. He can't believe the basket didn't want it. From way downtown is Howe. He can hit that and he does. It's a three pointer for Howe. Evens a score at five a piece. Hazy from way downtown, tries to answer, goes out of bounds, back to Concordia. Concordia's coach by Sean Casey in his 12th year. Sam Schrader in his second year at Concordia. This is the 127th meeting between these two teams. That's crazy. Dating back to 1938, 39 season on a gamble by the muskies, pays off for a flush. Watch this on replay. Gamble by Nygard, flush. For Francie. And a foul on Johnson for Concordia. That's their second team foul into the lineup. Isiah Tonette, he's number one, he's a little spark plug. Resides from Sacramento, California. Also in is Noah Gussie for Concordia. And a good player. Also, it's Oleg Lian, George, number four for Concordia. In for Lakeland, Wonkeen, Beguis. And he comes in and scores right away. We're back to Even. And there's another turnover by Concordia. Musky's on the push. There's McDonald. There's two seniors going in, Howe and McDonald. Beguis again, no good. And Tonette, which I saw play a couple of weeks ago, he's got some rings, considering the fact he's just five, eight. Shakur Jahan comes in, number five for Lakeland. 14 points off the bench. Been getting a lot of minutes with McDonald and Campos out earlier in the season. Zach Hasenstein also missed a couple of games already. Lakeland's only had one game guy play all 15 games this year. So, it's good to see them getting healthy again.  Another poor decision is following a three-point shooter and he's gonna get three right here. McDonald trying to be the fifth different Musky to put points on the board. He's now just eight of 13 on Frito's this year. Like I said, just played four games. And that's not a good trip so far from McDonald's. Gotta take advantage of these situations when you're fouled for a three-point shot. And he gets one of the three to fall and gives the Muskies an eight to seven lead. Tonette with a speed. This kid can jump and scores. George drives to the basket and scores. And he's fouled. George, just a 55% Frito shooter. That makes that look pretty. Three-point play the old-fashioned way. It's now 10 to eight in favor of the Falcons. 14-minute mark. There's a dribble drive by Don Jocum. Almost turns it over. Number 20, Dante Carlton checked in two. He's number one. We've seen him before. He's a junior from Green Bay East an outstanding athlete at Green Bay East. Believe it was their quarterback and played basketball. There's a three-point shot up and good for Shakur. Jannad, he gets the first three-point basket. And so far six different Muskies have scored. I have them for 13, I don't know, it's 11, excuse me. 11 to eight, missed by Concordia. Another three-pointer up and good. It's time by Pogize makes one. They're called Steps. And Joey Zitlo, number 12 for Concordia. Comes from Oak Creek and Lakeland trying to expand on their lead of four. They were up five to zero. It's now 14 to 10, 12, 50. Here's a nice dribble drive and dump. Nice easy shot, but it was missed. Jihad with the drive, but it went not fall for them. To net. Look at George just using that body to get to the basket. He misses the easy one, but here's a rebound put back by Brandon Keller. Another young man from Plymouth. And he gets fouled. He's a six, seven freshman. Eric Nygaard, number 34, starting center for Plymouth. Or excuse me, Lakeland is also from Plymouth. Jair's brother's back in the lineup for Concordia. Jared, the freshman, number two. And Jake, the senior, number three. And all for two trip. Concordia not off to a really good start with turnovers and some miss free throws. Let's see if Lakeland can take advantage. Almost there's a turnover there. Carlton switched his pivot feet and he walked. It was a nice inside feed. And another missed opportunity that time by Noah Gussie for Concordia. Why not? Pogize, oh, he hit it last couple, but there's a big rebound by Gussie for Concordia. Jared over to Gussie. That shot's missed, rebound by Carlton. Here comes the fish, swung out to the geese. That's Carlton. You can make that from out there. I think they're gonna get a foul. Brandon Keller, three starters of, four starters for Lakeland back in. Hazy, Campos and a turnover by Hasenstein. Jake Jerson on the push, nice feed over to Johnson and the Baskin, a quick timeout by Lakeland. Gonna be a 30 second timeout for Lakeland. As I mentioned in the beginning of this program, MSO League leads the conference at nine and one. Concordia of Mequon or Wisconsin is nine and two. Then there's a whole host of teams right in the bunch there, including Lakeland. Illinois Tech is six and four, Rockford six and four. Benedictine and Aurora and Edgerton five and five and then your muskies are four and six. Lakeland got off to a really good start at six and two this year, but since that time, they've lost seven in a row, including a heartbreaking overtime game last week on the ninth and they lost to MSOE at MSOE by 10. Next game for Lakeland is at Aurora, defending Northern Athletic Conference, our collegiate conference champions. Nice deep in there and good. Campos pushing the offense, getting to the basket, gets rewarded with a basket and he has a chance to make it a three point play. Makes it a three point play and a 17 to 12 lead. Ties the biggest lead of the game. They're calling offensive foul, Ola Lakin, George on the offensive foul, 16 foul on Concordia. Lakeland will be in the bonus the rest of the half. Campos pushes it down there to Duffin. His shot is up and good, 19 to 12. Duffin now with three points. Jerseh kicks it out for a three pointer and good. Jordan Johnson answers with a three pointer. There's a miss by the fish. Here comes Jake Jerseh. Now they're starting to pass really well and that 19 to 12 lead is down to 19 to 17 and there's another turnover by the fish champion. Here's George on a reverse, he misses it. Nygard gets it knocked out of the hand. Haasenstein saves it to Campos. This is McDonald, nice fake driving. Thought he was followed by Jerseh, no call. Jordan Johnson for Concordia pushing it. Jerseh back to Johnson, way out to Jared. Goes right by Haaseh, he kicks it to his brother. Johnson again, this is way short. Campos back to Duffin and then we're gonna get another traveling violation. A lot of turnovers when they're really going here. 8.54, left in the first half. Lakeland 19, Concordia 17. The first meeting of these two teams this year. February 2nd, the muskies will be down in Mequon to play the Falcons. There's another shot by Howe and that's good. Just like that, it's a 20-19 lead for Concordia. Duffin for three, answers right back. 22-20, Jerseh, nice pass. Fortunately, Fratsky wasn't ready for it. It's a turnover, that was a nice pass by Jared.  Basket doesn't want it down here. Rebound by Jordan Johnson of the Falcons. Howe with a nice pass and a miss by Fratsky. Johnson, double teamed. Skip pass to Jerseh, no. Hasenstein comes away with it. Back and forth they go. Not a lot of baskets and Sean Cassidy and Concordia calls out one of their plays. Try to roll, there it is. Howe off the screen and he missed it. Everything worked well for Concordia there except for putting it in the layup. Campus for the three. Again, another three pointer by Lakeland not falling. And a one and out. Not too many second opportunities for Lakeland tonight. Jordan Johnson, there's Howe can hit that. Not this time. And we have wholesale substitutions. Nogasi back in for Concordia. Along with Isaiah Tenet. Wonkeen Pegis back in for Pegisi in for Lakeland. Nygard nice and low but he can't finish. Lakeland will end up bounded here. This is Trent Neckle from Keel number 24 in the game. Looking, looking, and that's a turnover and that's not gonna give you time on the bench. Nope, they didn't take him out. They took Duffin out. Thought Neckle because he couldn't get it in. He's going to find himself a seat. 624 left, a quick first half. Looked like a walk there. Instead, Fratsky turns it over. This is Jeannade. He's got the hot hand tonight for Lakeland. 24-20, Jihad with five points. There's a long bomb by Jordan Johnson. He's got 10 and a half post Concordia within one. And back and forth basically the whole game. Biggest lead for Lakeland is five. Biggest lead for Concordia is Nogasi. Commits the foul for Concordia. That puts him over the limit. Puts Pat McDonald back to the free throw line. He had an unsuccessful one for three-trip the first time but he hits this one. He makes it a perfect trip. McDonald now with five points in the first half. And that's trying to get deep. Uses that vertical but could not get it to go. Rebound by Nygard. Pugisi, using his speed, gets it up and over and good. I have him for seven. I think he stepped on the line and another Concordia turnover. And Sean Cassidy not happy with all the empty trips for the Falcons. Pugisi comes in averaging seven points again. He's number four. He's already got at his average. Swings this one over to Nickel. And an empty trip for the fish.  Pat McDonald picks up his first foul. Duffin gonna come back in the game. Garrett Duffin, just 14 fouls on Lakeland. Seven on Concordia. 430 left in the first half. Nice push by Howe. And that's why he scored over a thousand points so far this year. McDonnell quickly picks up his second foul and that'll get Zach Hasenstein off the bench. Misses the free throw. Remains a three-point lead for Lakeland. Shakur Shahad, not this time. Rebound by Keller. Gotta like the effort by the fish tonight. Really on defensive end, doing a nice job. Wow, a lot of contact, no foul. Duffin looking, but nobody's in the post. You don't really have any big tall guys out there. Pat McDonald gets called for an offensive foul and that's his third. And the coach is going, Coach Schrader is really upset with that call and he's gonna get a technical foul. He did not like the fact that they called McDonald on that foul. Wanted to get McDonald out of the game. He's a little calmer now. There you see, see if that puts a spark into the muskies. Two for two trip for Jordan Johnson. 85% free throw shooter, made both of those. He's now got a dozen of the 27 points for Concordia and now it becomes a five-point play and a lead for Concordia after the technical. Bad things happen there. McDonald picks up his third technical on Lakeland's coach Schrader and then two free throws and a three-pointer. And Gussie's fighting, he's trapped. They're gonna get a jump. Gussie wanted a foul. You know of Gussie, a senior from Green Bay, new Lutheran. Sure he played against Jacob Jerse. There's a nice in-bounds play and a score for Lakeland. All even under three minutes. At the aquarium. Chris Wright on solo tonight. Got the A team tonight. Richard up on the upper camera and Eric and Scott in the truck and there's a three by Howe. He's good. And we have a student helper, Camelia Trimburger, a junior itself down here doing the camera right there. She was a little nervous tonight but doing a nice job. And howe, one of his best looks.  We'll be shooting one, four. Whoa, they gave Howe only a two before. I thought Howe had a three. So it's 32 to 30. So we're still tied after the miss. Under two minutes, Jordan Johnson, the bulldog of Cedarburg. Howe's driving right in on Haasenstein and the senior draws the foul on Haasie. Haasie with two fouls. So that'll bring Trent Nicol in the game. Howe's at the line just a few minutes ago where he missed two. He's averaging 15-six a game. One for two trip. But gives the Falcons a lead. 33-32, Concordia. That's Nicol from Keel. Campos, Bingo from three. An excellent first half. Neither team can really pull away from the other. Nice drive and another miss by Concordia. And with a minute 17 and the lead, oh, Lakeland turns it over. Very athletic. George scores, an easy one. Carl's, Campos. Geese has a nice first half. Him and Campos have led him. He's gonna not get that one or grow. So with 40 seconds, here comes the Falcons with a chance to take the lead. And that, Howe, driving, bounce fast, out of bounds. And probably the last possession. Well, there's gonna be some questions. They're gonna say no. It's gonna go to the fish. So the last possession of the first half should go to Lakeland. 30 seconds on the shot clock, 30.0 up above. Shot clock should probably be turned off. Fish is gonna let it go. Lakeland holding it for one. The trader calling out a play. Here's Campos. Thrive's thrown away. Here comes George. Two, can he beat it? And it counts. George hits the basket at the end of the first half to give Cordia a 37-35 first half lead in what's been an outstanding first half of basketball. When we return, we'll have second half action.

Are pretty dumb.  Underage drinking and driving. The ultimate party foul. Okay, so we drowned the fire. Yup. Stirred it. Drowned it again. And now just feel if it's cold. Yeah. Cool. Smokey just gave me a bear hug. I already posted it. A teacher, let me tell you what I make. I make learning a privilege, not a chore. And frustration a tool, not an obstacle.

It'll keep you eligible for college loans, government jobs and training, and it only takes two minutes, which makes it not only your most important chore, but the easiest. When you turn 18, register at sss.gov or the local post office. Mom and dad used to argue about everything, especially about dad's drinking. My family went from totally crazy to quiet, calm, and even peaceful when mom started going to Alenon family groups. I wanted a better relationship with dad, so I asked mom if she would take me to her Alenon meetings or to Alateen. I'm sure glad I did. If someone's drinking troubling you, you might be surprised at what you can learn in an Alenon or Alateen family group from people just like you. Call 1-888-4-ALENON or go to Alenon. If you don't fix them, sparks from dragging tow chains can cause a wildfire, and that could be scary. Last trophy, only you, about wildfires. Okay, hi, my name's Tim Bull. I'm an ISA certified arborist with the city of Sheboygan. I've been working here about a year. One of the primary focuses of my job is to treat the ash trees. The emerald ash borer is an insect that's been in Wisconsin for over 10 years, and it's working its way kind of north from southern Wisconsin. It's been found in Sheboygan for a few years now, it's been around. And the focus is for the city to try to save the ash trees before they all die. There's about 5,000 ash trees on the street between the street and the sidewalk. And just to give you a sense, there's about 20 to 23,000 trees between the street and the sidewalk, so 5,000 of those are ash trees. So it's important for the city to not let all those trees die at the same time. So the emerald ash borer is an insect where it gets in the tree, it lays eggs, the eggs hatched and burrow under the bark, and they basically suffocate the tree as they feed. Now it takes a number of years before you'll see an effect from the insect. But the important thing is when you're trying to save an ash tree is to treat it with an insecticide before you see the tree declining. Because by the time you see the effects that the tree's dying, it could be too late. Sometimes it's not too late, but many times the damage that's done is already done and can't be repaired. So it's more of a preventative measure that we're doing. And I've been treating ash trees for about six years now. I've seen it work. I've seen where I've treated a tree. I came back two years later, treated the same tree again, and the tree was still healthy, but maybe the neighbor's trees that were untreated were almost dead, so I believe in it and research backs it up. It's supposed to be over 96% effective. As far as the city's plan, their plan is to treat half the ash trees and remove half the ash trees, because it's expensive either way you want to look at it. If you want to remove them all, it's a huge expense. If you want to treat them all, it's very expensive. So a kind of compromise is to try to save half, remove half over a three-year period. So this year, 2017, I've treated between 1,100 and 1,200 ash trees to date, and over the next year and over the next two years, we'll get to that 2,500 mark where we've potentially saved half the trees. Now, the city's doing a three-year treatment process where every three years we'll have to retreat if we want the tree to continue to survive. And right now the insecticide that we're using, the active ingredient is M.emectin benzoate. There's a number of different products that contain that. It's able for two years where every two years you should retreat, but a lot of research is saying you can get at least three years out of it, so that's why the city's gone with a three-year plan. Well, first of all, the process of picking which trees to save and which trees not to save really stems from is the tree in a good location to begin with. So if we're only going to save half the ash trees, we want to save the ones that are in a good spot versus the ones that are not an ideal spot. So we look for medians, grass areas between the road and the sidewalk that are at least six feet wide. This one here that we're in is probably more like eight feet. And we want to look for spots where there's no overhead power lines that the tree's growing into or if the tree's really buckling up the sidewalk or something like that, maybe that's not an ideal tree to save. So once we determine which trees we want to save, the process is pretty simple. We drill into the tree with a small, about a little smaller than a pencil-sized bowl and a tree will take anywhere from four holes to, I had one this year that I had 10 holes in. So average, I would say six or seven drills about an inch under the bark. And then those holes get filled up, you put up an injection tee in each one of those holes. So it's all sealed and each one of those tees is connected with a small hose, which all stems back to a bottle which has the insecticide in it. Now the tree, the amount of insecticide that's used depends on the tree size. So the rate the city uses is a five milliliters per diameter inch of the tree. Now diameter is measured at breast height, four and a half feet above ground. Okay yeah, so this tree here is 18 inches in diameter. So 18 times five is 90 milliliters that this tree requires. So as we're going down a street, I have a guy helping me, he measures them, he records what's gonna be used, he records the address where the tree is and I get to the tree and I get to work drilling, setting it up, measuring the chemical that's going in. And once I get it all set, it's just a matter of pressurizing the container, the bottle with the insecticide to get that insecticide to the tree and really it's just a bike pump that I'm using to pressurize and I give it about 30 pounds of pressure and that'll get the insecticide to the tree and it's up to the tree to take it in. So every tree is different, some trees take it right in, some trees are a little slower.  So once I have it all set up and pressurized, it's up to the tree to take it in and really I could increase the pressure to 40 pounds, even 50 pounds, but it isn't gonna make a difference how fast the tree takes it in. Really that pressure is just getting the chemical to the tree. And once the lines, the hoses are all clear so you can see the blue, the chemical is blue, you can see it going in and once those lines are all emptied out then you can undo the pressure and unhook the tree and that's all that needs to be done. Now everything, when we leave a tree that we've treated, we got a can of blue spray paint, we put a dot on the tree side of the tree, roughly two, three feet off the ground and that is a symbol that we've treated that ashtree that we plan on saving that ashtree. We'll also put a pesticide sign down that says keep off, pesticide, that's something that needs to be done, it's required by the pesticide regulations for the state. So those signs will leave for a day and we'll pick them up the next day. But the blue dot will stay so we'll always know that tree was treated in 2017. As far as danger to people walking by or anything like that with the pesticide that we're using, the word is caution on the label of this insecticide which is the lowest toxicity. Really it's not much to worry about since it's all going right into the tree itself. There's nothing gonna be on the grass or in the air or anything really to worry about as far as that goes. As soon as I leave the tree and the blue dot will stay there but nothing else will be there, that tree is safe to be around. Today I'm gonna talk to you about physics. Come on in girls, let's go. This is the first rocket to get humans to Mars. I'm a rocket structural engineer designing and building parts of the rocket. You are the generation that will be stepping foot on Mars. Do I have a group of astronauts on my hand? Yes.  We're back at Wilson Gymnasium, better known as what I like to call the aquarium where Concordia with a shot at the buzzer took a 37, 35 point lead over Concordia. Let's go over some of the scoring here so far. Leading the way for Concordia was Jordan Johnson and Josh Howe, Johnson with 12 and Howe with 11. O'Kellen George had nine for Concordia. Four year Lakeland muskies, lot of balance scoring in that first half led by Wakkan, excuse me, Wakwan, Pagis, Pagisi. He had nine points. Carlos Campos had eight. Shakur Shahad had seven and Garrett Duffin had six. So very balanced scoring in that first half for Lakeland. And fortunately, I found someone that can join me for the second half for some of it, if not all of it. Dave Gannettis came out here. Dave, thanks for joining us. You bet. And once again, tell the folks at home just what you do out here. Well. Besides nothing. That's a good question. I'm director of external relations. So marketing and branding and PR and telling everybody the good news about what's going on at Lakeland University. That's my job. So. Well, I know you've always been a big basketball fan long before you were here.  But that's a big passion of yours, I know. It is. It's just a sport that I've always really enjoyed and being able to be part of it out here to get to know the players on the men's side and the women's side and watch them grow and develop as people in addition to players is a nice treat. Well, this is Jared Jers going right to the basket. The Lutheran kid scores. Biggest lead I think for Concordia there and we don't need those turnovers to start the second half. There was a miss by Johnson. And again, turnovers, a lot of turnovers, 13 turnovers for Concordia, 10 for Lakeland that first half, and there is a miss by Campos. Ball's flying around a lot in that first half. It was that tempo in the first half was pretty intense for a while. Well, I know I talked to some of the staff from Lakeland, they're trying to slow it down a little bit, trying to work it inside but get away from the three point basket because it hasn't really worked for them. They over there losing streak so they try to change things up but unfortunately it looks like it's more of a track meet again. And it's hard when you go with the style for a little more than half the season and then try to change things up, it's challenging. Yep. There's another miss by Campos. In that first half, Lakeland was just four of 18. Now they're four of 20 from three point range and they just got to get that going. I know they're shooting about 33% from the three point strike this year which isn't awful and Jerskic's bump but it's gonna be knocked out of bounds. I think the encouraging number for Lakeland at the half was the rebounding. Actually, Lakeland was plus one. Rebounding has been a tough nut to crack for this team and Concordia's got a size advantage and a number of positions and have the reboundage in half was a big number for Lakeland. Well, when I've seen Lakeland, I noticed that, I mean, besides really Nygaard and Nygaard's really not a big kid either but they're not, they really don't have any true strong post players. Right. And another miss by Campos and there's how with the rebound. That's the freshman, Jared Jers, looking for his brother in the parking lot and sometimes even brothers miss each other. Coming in, I was really excited about doing this game because it was Concordia with the two Jersk kids for Concordia, but I know Lakeland was supposed to kind of battle for the conference crown as well and they gotta get themselves on track or else the lead pack's gonna get away. Yeah, and the tough thing to be coming out of a losing streak now is the tough part of the schedule is here and. There's Nygaard fighting. That's what Nygaard is great at, is getting in the bucket, he's kind of that junkyard dog kind of player and finds a way, but Lakeland's got five straight roads Saturdays in the second half here and when you need to win a game to break out of the funk, it's not a friendly schedule. Yeah, I saw they got three in a row right away and then off and they're gonna be seen Concordia again right away. I know the guy playing at Aurora is always tough. Duff and misses one. Things that were going well in the first half aren't going well so far here and there's a turnover again by Jersk. Concordia with a lot of turnovers. Yeah, it just looks like people are trying to force an extra pass sometimes where there's not one. There's a nice little open look inside for McDonald. You know, that's another thing for Lakeland, you gotta get Pat McDonald going and senior leader, he can carry you for stretches and he can make some of the most acrobatic shots. Well, I know it's him being out this year too. I was looking at the roster. I mean, they haven't had a healthy team either where everybody's been on the floor. You know, at one point, I think it was a two game stretch there where we had, you know, and you never want to make excuses, but McDonald, Campos and Hassenstein, all three were out and it takes the edge off of your scoring. Now, luckily, we had some kids really step up during that time and played well. You know, and then the problem is when those three guys come back, you gotta try to find minutes for everybody. So for Coach Schrader, it's been an interesting challenge. Ligard picked up the fall on the wrap there. Jersk trying to get there, but Hassenstein playing that good, strong defense. Good dump out to the big fellows. They're gonna make France key and new France key earn it at the strike. Now he's from Minnesota and I talked to you about this just a minute ago. One thing I was one of my big questions was, where do you get kids from like Louisiana and the football team's got a bunch of kids from Florida and Michigan? How do all those kids find Howard's Grove in Lakeland, Wisconsin? Yeah, well, we go find them. You know, I mean, obviously with the internet, it's a small world and, you know, recruiting is, I don't know if I would say easier, but it's different now because of technology on the web. And then when you get a kid like Michael Whitley, you know, who was an all-American quarterback and set a number of school records and was from Louisiana, and then he goes back home and tells all his buddies, hey, I got a great education at Lakeland.  And in the meantime, he's back home. Our assistants are right now down in Louisiana and Michael's taking them around town and around the region and introducing them to people. So... Well, I know Johnson with the miss there. McDonald's fighting like he can. It's gonna go over to the fish. I know I also drive that go right-way van sometimes on weekends and stuff. All of a sudden I picked up a kid. Here he's from Louisiana and he's here to play baseball. So we're having a conversation. I'm like, it's not just football or basketball. You got, it's other sports. You mentioned your volleyball. Yeah, man, volleyball's got three kids from Hawaii. Can you imagine? It's supposed to be what, I think, a low of five this weekend.  But if you look at, you know, the rosters of a lot of the schools in our conference, you'll see a fair number of out of state, out of region, out of state. And again, I think it's the web. It makes the world a very small place. And with websites today, you can get a feel for a school before you ever set foot on campus. And a lot of kids just want to play, they want to play ball. They want an opportunity to play ball. Slow start for the muskies here in the second half with the 1508 mark. Lakeland trailing Concordia by four. That's their big player, Howe, scoring for them. It's now a seven point lead. Biggest lead for the Falcons in the game. And the muskies got to find something. Yeah, you just, you want to stay close. You know, you don't, you're not going to dial up a seven point shot. So work your offense, chip away, get some stops and you're right back in it, but... Nickel helps out the cause a little bit. He's a great, just a great spark plug off the bench. He works hard on both, both ends of the floor.  But there's Howe there. Or not. Yeah, they're big fellow. Yeah. Cordia's been putting together a nice season there. These games are always great between Lakeland and Concordia. Again, all the baskets that were going in the first half, Howe's open again. Took too much time, I think that time. Nickel with the rebound. We mentioned Trent Nickel, local kid, just up the street in Keel. Yep. Dad, his dad Corey. Oh, yeah. Hall of Famer here at Lakeland. Oh, yeah. Doesn't miss a game now. Trent wears the old number 24, which is what his old man was. I can't believe it seemed like he was just here. I hate to tell you that. Trust me. Those were my first couple of years here. I, yeah. Well, when Paul Combs from when we played Carroll. Oh, yeah. Paul coached Corey and Trent used to shoot baskets on the sideline with his little plastic hoop set. Yeah, we did that Carroll game and that was the second game of the losing streak. You know, like I said, at one time like Lakeland was six and two and rocking. But we have a timeout on the floor. I think it's gonna be a full timeout. We're gonna take a quick break. I'm not your charity case. I am not your excuse to buy a new dress for the annual fundraiser. I am not the poster touch for your big donation. I am out of debt and in my own home. I am off opioids. I'm graduating on time and on my way to a great job. I am. I am. We are. We are. We are. What it means to live united. We're back in Lakeland. Mike Martin is in Arizona. Just a reminder that we have Scott and Eric in the truck today and Richard's up on top with the 18. I'm Ella Trimburger, a junior from South High trying to do the camera underneath doing a great job. And they've gonna join me. Because Marty, like I said, is in Arizona. I know he was leaving for this game but I mentioned a number of times where I was really excited to do this game just because of all the local ties. And because Concordia and Lakeland both supposed to be up there for the conference and Concordia is holding up there and Lakeland's gotta start getting things on track there. Six and nine, four and six in league play. And besides some MSOE and Concordia, the rest of the pack is pretty tight. Now it's the conference this year, I'll tell you. Boy, we just, Lakeland cannot get those little bunnies to go. This conference is wide open this year and I was talking to Chris Saberlich, former of Lakeland kiddos. Yep, yep. The final act, yep. And Marian and his wife is their head women's soccer coach and we both said anybody can beat anybody. Really, Rockford has been sneaky good on some nights and boy, these teams can put up points because a lot of people do now this kind of a little more wide open style where you're getting up and down the floor, you're putting up more threes. And, you know, scores in this league are regularly teams are scoring in the hundreds. It's not unusual at all.  Right, and they were picked to win the league and so they're sitting out there. But I think you get in that conference tournament and look out because on a given night, you know, it's one and done. Anybody can beat anybody and I don't know who's gonna come out of this league in the tournament to be honest. That's why if you're Lakeland, just get going and get in the tournament and then see what happens.   Well, and I thought that they played really good defense in the first half. And there's a three. Jake Juan Poguiz is another, he filled in a lot of time when Pat McDonald was out and that confidence is aiding him now because you can put him on the floor. He's used to playing starters minutes and he's got a lot of great confidence and he's a great shooter. Yeah, he was a spark plug that they needed in that first half, but as we were saying, and it was six seconds on the shot clock, we're gonna go the other way. Or are we gonna get Nickel on the fall? For a team that's lost seven in a row, sometimes you think they come in and they may be a little flat, but I thought the defense intensity for them, for the most part, was really good by the muskies. And at some nights, you know, you get the style of play that Lakeland has the up and down defense tends to go out the window sometimes, but you're right. When you play Concordia, you're gonna have to do it up. They have, and these last couple trips down the floor, they have again. Physical out there, it's a tough game for the officials to call right now, I think a little bit, I think they get Jahad there. And I'll tell you, he was pushed and banged and could have gone the other way very simply, but it did not. It's a good athlete here.  And George is a good athlete too. I saw them play Mary in a couple of weeks ago. He's a nice player too. Yeah. He comes from Milwaukee, Lutheran. Well, let's see if despite the slow start, the muskies can bounce back and maybe take the lead here. Duffin driving, but finishes. And after being down by seven, they got the lead. That's a big one, you get those nice looks inside and you gotta make, you gotta convert them. Just like that, we're gonna get a timeout by Concordia, that's gonna be a timeout. So at the 11-02 mark and take another full timeout, Lakeland now ahead 49-48. You're a busy man when you turn 18, but with all you've got going on, don't forget to register with selective service. It's the law. It only takes about two minutes to register at SSS.gov. And you can do it without even looking up from your phone, just like that. When you turn 18, register at SSS.gov. The jerseys, they had to split up their duty today because of their other grandson is playing at Lutheran tonight with the number one ranked Sheboygan Lutheran Crusaders playing Mishikot. And here, Adam over here with stats. Now that the boss is here, we're getting, we're getting lots of business. He is the best. He's a good guy. He, I'll tell you, I watch him in football games too and what he does with his numbers. And he's got normally a little crew working for him as well. Well, they're on break. Kids are still on break. They're not back till next week. They had five weeks off. Can you imagine? I know, I know some people, kids that are like, I can't believe how long, I don't remember that as a kid having all that time off when I went to college. I don't know, you colleges and universities are making fortunes off these kids now, Dave. I know it. I know it. And there's a miss by Duffin. Right now, Lakeland shooting 38% from the floor. Concordia 42. The key to me is the turnovers. 20 turnovers on Concordia. I mean, for a team that's in second place in the league, taking care of the ball should be a priority but they can't get anything to go. And now they get a Keller, Brandon Keller, the freshman from Plymouth gets to the basket. And I think whichever team can tighten up here a little bit. Tighten up the turnovers a little bit. Yeah, 20 turnovers. Well, they've got seven already in the second half. And we're not, you know, we're barely, well, we're not even 10 minutes deep, so. That breaks a 7-0 run by the fish. Get some ball to go. Missed his first two, made his next two. One point lead. And what are we getting here? 30 second timeout. Concordia's taken the edge back in the rebounds, 30 to 26, that's something that Lakeland's gonna have to work hard and keep an eye on too. You can't let Concordia palm the glass.  On this end, you gotta limit their offensive chances, so. While there's work ahead for Lakeland, as Dave mentioned, they got Aurora. On the 19th, Wisconsin Lutheran on the 23rd, Marion on the 26th, then they host Concordia, Chicago, which at home, it's one they gotta get. And then they can see Aurora, or Concordia, Wisconsin. So they got a lot of tough games and. Five of the next seven are on the road. Jeez. And yeah, it's, and there's a lot of tough places where Lakeland's playing. Aurora, Wisconsin Lutheran's never an easy place to play. Marion, I mean, all of them, honestly, but Marion's a great rivalry and they're having a tough year and they wanna get some wins too, so. Ooh, they get a turnover there. Limit your turnovers and get rebounds. Wins games for ya. There's Taneth, we mentioned, he's from California. He's got great hops for Concordia. Keep those number 12, six seconds on the shot cock. He forces up a shot, it's not gonna go. And here come the fish.  He didn't quite have the handle. Trailing by a point, just under 10 minutes. There's McDonald. Been a good player the last few years. Pat McDonald from way downtown, but a reload on the hustle by Pat McDonald. Lakeland's standing around a little bit. Yeah, they, you know, I said that in the first half and they tended to do that the last couple of times I've seen them, can't get it to go, oh, Nick will get undercut, but he calls time out. Very alert play.  I'll tell you what, we're gonna keep it right here. Our next broadcast will be the Holy War at the Shore next Friday when, it's a week from Friday when Shabuigan Luton travels to Shabuigan Christian and I'll tell you, it's the end of January. And then we have only like three or four games in February of the tournament time before you know it. It's flying. I know it doesn't. It's crazy. It does. We're halfway through the month. And even looking at the Lakeland schedule ahead. I mean, they have basically a month to go in their season, about 40 days. Right, I mean, it's the 15th today and the last regular season game is the 16th of February is senior day. And then the conference tournament starts on the 20th. So, you know, in terms of taking advantage quickly, you gotta get this winnings, you gotta get this losing streak behind you. Start putting some wins together so that you can reposition yourself in the league. You know, the good news for Lakeland, Benedictine is not eligible to play in the conference tournament this year. They were supposed to go D2. Okay. Change their minds. They're gonna stay. But because of that, they're not eligible for the conference tournament. So, you pick top six. So, one, two, three, four, five, six.  So that's the thing. With a lot of season to go. They have to, you have to be in the top six to make the tournament as well. Top six go. One and two get a buy. Okay. To the semis. And then three plays six, four plays five. And then winner gets an automatic bid. Winner gets the automatic birth into the NCAA division three tournament. So, you just, you know, at this point, if you're Lakeland, start stringing some wins together. And you're playing the teams above you. So, reel them in. And put yourself in a position to get in that tournament. Playing your best ball of the year and see what happens. And you gotta take care of business at home. And something that Lakeland did a real nice job in the first half was, you know, basically not allow second shots and offensive rebounds.  Right, right. We've had a lot of up and down trips too with no points for each team. Right. I was talking to our football coach and we were both remarking at the pace in the first half. And he said, I'm not sure it's really benefiting your team because there's not a lot of scoring going on. And I said, yeah, I think you're right. Neigard's open. It's gotta finish. Donald found him, yep. That's what Neigard's good at. You get him around the basket down there and he usually finds a way. Fifth year senior grad student. He ought to graduate it actually. He's working on his MBA. Wow. And playing basketball. And playing basketball. Forget about that part of the school. Yeah, these kids are all full-time students. Dean's list came out today actually. There's a lot of these guys that are on that list, which is. That's great. Yeah, it is. You can make all conferences be on the Dean's list. Those are two pretty good lists to be on. Yeah. Not going strong to the basket was George. And Neigard with the rebound. And here comes Hazy. Going right to the basket where she's good at. Does not get a follow call. Lakeland a chance to take the lead here. Run a good set and get a good look. Back in come the jerse boys. And I'm sure you're going to pretty much get your starters back into the game for the last seven minutes pretty soon. Again, a little trouble having to inbound. Yeah, how's that? Five second call in the first half. I thought, what are we going to get another one? Nicol got caught there. Neigard with a nice kick out. Campos can't find. He found everything in the first half. But there's a reload. Just a little short. McDonald, bingo. Tell you, sometimes McDonald takes those acrobatic anything. Oh, that's not going to go in. And they go. He makes all of those. It's crazy. Nice replay there of his rainbow shot and a four-point lead. Now you've got to get stops. You're Lakeland. You've got to put some stops together. Wow, that's a nice spin move. Lake Hall maybe? Yeah, I don't know. Guy down on the baseline didn't want to make it. No, he didn't. And he was right in front of him. And I don't think Eric was so sure about that either. Yeah, I would quite sure, yeah. You have here, Lakeland now. You've got to string stops together. Well, Lakeland, George, had the free throw line. Not very good at the free throw line. About a 55% free throw shooter. And Portia's missed her last three free throws, is also helping the fish. One on a two-trip. I'm going to have to get out and see this Shibuya Lutheran team play with you. Oh, they are. Yeah, that's what I hear.  I'm really tough. I've always been tough in things like that. They are the deal. Yeah. They are the deal. And I'm a tough cookie to sell. You are. And my guard, can he hit one? He does. You know, he's sneaky out there behind that three point line. You think, oh boy, why are you taking the three? He'll make them. I don't know what his percentage is on the year, but he can hit the three. Well, it's his 11th of the year. And none but a bigger one, a six point lead. Lakeland was down 48 to 42. And they're on a 15 to three run. Johnson is pretty good at the free throw line. I'm going to try to help the Falcons back in. Neigard's a 33% three point shooter. Not great, but when you consider that he's close to a big man, as Lakeland's going to get, he's not chucking that many up there either. Well, we'll see if foul trouble hurts Lakeland here as they are well over the bonus with eight fouls, team fouls on Lakeland. Johnson's going to get both those to go. Offensive end, just be smart, run your sets, score some points. Don't need to do anything fancy. Yeah, you've got to come and see Luther in play. Yeah, I definitely want to. One thing I always kind of question is, can you play defense? And they play defense. And that agnostic kid is for real. He is for real. Haasie from way downtown, Haal on the rebound. And they're going to get a foul. And that's kind of stuff you don't want to do there. Yeah, it's tough. When you're already in the bonus, that's a tough one. Yeah, Duffin needs to know that that's not the place to foul. Missed the shot and you get a tough call. And I know Haal is their big player, but Johnson's their best free throw shooter, but you don't want to put Josh Haal at the line. 1,000 points score at Concordia. And nothing's going for him. And fouls are hurting you. All of a sudden it's a three point and maybe a two point game here. Three point game, must have jinxed him. Sorry. Sorry, not sorry. Yeah, Campos, Haasie, Duffin. Let's get a good shot to you. Good screen by McDonald. Duffin going to the basket, can't get it to go. Rebound by Jerse. Got a nice drive, got a nice look. Just couldn't put it down. Good vision by Jerse up the floor. Trying to look inside. Big number 22, Andrew Fratsky. He's one of the best field goal percentage shooters in the vision three. He's number 22. Jerse getting in there. Can't get it to go. Nice offensive rebound on that first miss, but Lakeland cut him off after that. You got to limit those offensive rebounds down the stretch if you're Lakeland on the Concordia end. We're at 444 left in the first. Excuse me, second half. Campos, five seconds, four seconds. Misses it. Hustles for it, it's McDonald of course down there. Got the timeout, I think. Yep, heads up play. It's a 30 second timeout. These teams can't have many timeouts left. No. Holy smokes. No. Yeah, smart play by Jerse. There was a lot of bodies on the floor there, and when he grabbed it free and clear, call the timeout and maximize the possession. Now you have other sports in the spring as well. You have baseball. Spring is baseball, softball. Both the soccer's are fall. We don't do it. And then I'm going to forget. Let's see. Baseball, ball for tennis. Yeah, Casey, right. Casey Carr, right. What else is there? I'm forgetting. I'm going to see a list. Adam would know off the top of his head. See, that's why I got Adam. Women's basketball has a big one tomorrow night. They're down at Wisconsin Lutheran. And Lakeland's women's basketball team has won 10 in a row. And they're tied for first. And that's going to be a good one. I know you have play out here too, which I went to a play out here last year. They do a nice job doing that. You have a lot of stuff to offer students and athletes. We always talk about athletes, but there's plenty of things to do out here. Theater, music, good student activities, new campus center. Kids are loving that, so it's good. Neigardt, oh, gets it. Wow, nice play. Bratsky with the strip. Nice defensive play. Jerse with a nice feed to Johnson. It's now 57-56. Nice turnaround for Concordia. Great defensive play. And then came down and put the bucket in. Watched Jerse with a nice pass. Great pass. Doesn't score a lot. There's a bunch of assists for the freshman. And there's a nice look for the Muckys. Great look. And a follow on Howe. She's a boy again to Plymouth. And I'll tell you, Eric Neigard, I think, was shut out in the first half as nine here in the second half. Can add to that. Well, again, he's hanging around down around the basket. He's looking for those opportunities. And guys are finding him, too, which is a big part of it. Ooh, missed the fall shot. 3-13 left. So it looks like it's going to go down to the wire.  Yeah, I got the defender in the air there and just waited him out. So that Jordan Johnson came in averaging 12. He's having a nice, nice ball game. If you're Lakeland now, you just want to keep the lead. Yep. I think if Concordia could find a way to get the lead, it would be a nice mental lift. And if you're Lakeland, run your stuff.  Down to six seconds. Howe's trying to create his own. Nice jump shot, nothing there. Got time. Ooh, bailed out there a little bit, I think. Not by the officials, but it was a nice play. Hasenstein, I think, tapped the ball with a warning. Tried to do a dump-off pass, and I don't know if Nygard was quite expecting it. Zack got it back and was able to put it in right before the buzzer, so. Boy, Concordia worked their whole shot clock right down, and then right at the end, Concordia doesn't need a 3. They should probably be going for their best two. The jerse shoots 3 and makes it. Didn't need it, but they'll take it, right? Tie ball game. Yeah. Didn't have a lot of opening there, but big, big shot there by Jacob Jerse. Nygard, kind of a force, and it's going to be a one and out. And coach Cassidy's slowing up the troops. 61, 61. Minute 43 left. And Jake Jerse.  Oh, but Johnson got behind the musky defense there. Yeah. Backdoor slid in for the layup. Can't turn your head for a minute, and that's what happened that time. Johnson took advantage of it. Duffin from way deep. Bingo.  That's your senior. Had made his last couple, and these kids are not afraid to shoot, that's for sure. No, I was not happy with the shot until it swished through the net. 101, Jerse driving back to his brother. 14 on the shot clock. Hodley's going to get called for a foul, and that'll send the senior. Jake Jerse to the line. 64% from the free throw strike. But unfortunately, for Lakeland, he'll have two chances, even the score. Well, it's Lakeland and Concordia. It's going to go down to the wire. Big surprise. Oh, I said it. 127th meeting in. That's amazing. That is. That's what I said. Just tells you how old these schools are. I know. Well, Jerse. Now you're doing two meetings a year, but the dates back to the 38, 39 school year, which was probably when they both started up official intercollegiate sports. Other time for three, not going to get it, and cleared away by Noah Gussie. And we're at 40 seconds left, just a one-point lead. So Lakeland, you need a stop. Yeah, when do you look to follow here, coach? I'm playing deep.  Yeah, it's about a 13-second difference between the shot clock and the game clock. Yeah, we're at 27-8. We'll leave it here. You can't let them get a three, though. No, no, that you can't do. If I'm Concordia, I'm going to Howe or Johnson and see if they can get something off the dribble or something. But you're right. Don't allow the three. And if you're Lakeland, don't fall. Play tough, but don't bail them out at the end. Bad scenario for Lakeland is that if they get the ball back, either down by one or down by three, just 14 fouls on Concordia, they can take fouls. Exactly. And there's no bonus. It's the old coach and me. Yeah, no, you're right. Tell my guys, two or three seconds we follow. Make sure they catch it coming back this way, away from the basket, a couple dribbles and a foul. And fans don't like it, but. No, you've got to play the averages, right? Well, you just make sure you don't fall somebody trying to take a three. Right. Right. That's what you make it difficult to see if Concordia. Well, we'll see what the scenario is, especially with a three-point lead. You're obviously going to want to do that a lot. Let's see who Lakeland sends out to the floor. Obviously even out Pat McDonald. Pegisi, who's had a great game. Garrett Duffin, number 22. Eric Nygard, Zach Hasenstein. Got your shooters. Yep. What you need here is a stop. And 14 seconds on the shot clock. That's the important thing. And if they do shoot, you've got to get the rebound. So it's back to Jers, the senior. Yep. Dump down to Johnson. Kick out. That's Johnson. He misses, fighting for the rebound. Nygard has it with 16 seconds. And Lakeland with a chance to win it here. Good pressure by Jers. They're trying to foul. Nobody's fouling. Pegisi, dribble drive. And he's fouled. That was an intelligent play by Howe. And if I was Concordia, I'd be calling time out here. I see you could see the coaches on the sidelines were imploring somebody to foul. But you've got to be careful on that situation. If I'm Concordia, I'm telling my guys to foul. Foul again. You've got two fouls to give here. Yeah, Sam's taking a time out to draw something up. So I'm sure he's going to point that out to them. They've only got five fouls. So they're going to be looking to follow you. So you've got somebody coming at you hard. Oh, yeah.  You might get a call. Yeah, if I was Lakeland there, I don't know if I would have called time out. Just because of that scenario, I'm going to drop a play here. You know, with the size of Concordia, I think you're better off with more of a perimeter shot, getting somebody off of a screen or something. Yeah, I'd say, you know, Nygard has had great success under the basket. And if you can get him alone down there, and a couple of times he's gotten the Concordia defense, I think, has lost him a little bit. So let your guys on the perimeter know, hey, let's try to work something inside the Nygard, and maybe get him slipped behind somebody. And a layup could win the thing. You don't need a three. Nope. Nope.  Nobody protecting the basket for him. McDonald's going to have to touch it at some point, I would think. Line of time. And there's that foul. Good fall. And I'll tell you, George did what he was supposed to do. Going to go to the opposite end. So 4.1 seconds to play here. Lakeland now going to call time out again. Yeah, I think, Dave, because of the scenario, you've got to get somebody coming off a double screen or something to someplace so they can catch and shoot, because you know they're going to be falling. And so I would be either doing some double screen to the maybe to the closest corner over to our right here, set something up that way. You don't want to go away from the basket, because that's definitely going to hurt you. Right, exactly. Move toward the basket, try to slip somebody open. Your thought same thing? Yeah, exactly. Don't need a three. Try to get something good moving toward the basket. A good looking shot. Maybe they can set up. Again, I think you're going to see probably the ball in McDonald's hands again. Obviously, he got it out here and was driving toward the basket. I wouldn't be surprised if you see something similar again. I also thought that Concordia manned up. They had nobody under the basket, which is not a good way I would play D either. So you could maybe slip someone towards the basket to get an easy lob of some sort. That's how they're going to man it again. You could hook around Nygard or something now and see if he can spin off towards the basket. We'll get a lob. There's our screen, our double screen. There's McDonald where I thought. You get it back to Hazy. Hazy for three. Nice play set up. Very nice play. That's what I would have ran something very similar. Well, again, you had McDonald's slipped off that double screen. The window was a little too tight to get him the ball. And man, tough loss for Lakeland. And I think Concordia heard us saying, that's where the ball is going to go. Well, bummer of a loss for Lakeland is they're going to fall to five and seven and six and 10. Concordia ups it to 10 and two. Still in the hunt for the conference championship. Dave, thanks so much for joining me. I really appreciate it. Your pleasure. You're, like I said, very knowledgeable and I love coming out to Lakeland as well. I just want to say goodnight for the crew. Cabello Trimberger was our student helper from South and of course we had the A team tonight. Richard on the camera and Eric and Scott in the truck. My name is Chris Wright. And for Mike Martin, who's in Arizona, who always says we'll see you down the road. We'll see you next week at the Holy War at the shore.


So back in the 19th century when scientists actually did this, using extremely powerful instruments to separate out the wavelengths, that's what they saw, sort of. This picture here is in fact one very long thin spectrum that has been chopped up and the strips have been rearranged into a rectangle. So you read it from left to right and from top to bottom like reading a book. And as you can see it's like going through the rainbow from red to blue. The black bit to the top are in fact the invisible infrared light. What astounded the scientists was that in the expected rainbow-like spectrum from the sun were a whole lot of these little black lines, gaps where light of that particular color seemed to have gone missing or to have been removed. Why this should be was for quite a long time a mystery. But as scientists began to examine gases of pure elements, they found something that gave them a clue. First, they took white light from a lamp and split it into its spectrum. And this is what it looks like, the familiar rainbow. Then they took hydrogen gas and they put it between the source of the white light and the detector. To the naked eye, the white light still looked white. But when it was separated into a spectrum they could see that some wavelengths were missing. Black lines appeared where light of particular wavelengths hadn't made it through the hydrogen gas to the detector. And this was called an absorption spectrum, since the hydrogen must have been absorbing some light. And then they discovered that if you again took hydrogen and heated it up near a detector, then as it cooled, the detector showed a spooky reversal of the absorption spectrum. Although you are not shining light on it, the hot hydrogen atoms were emitting their own light and they emitted it at exactly the wavelengths that it had absorbed when the white light was shining through it. This spectrum, the reverse of the absorption spectrum, is called the emission spectrum because the hydrogen atoms are emitting the light. Further research showed that not only did every element show this behaviour, but more interestingly, each element seemed to have a different pattern of wavelengths that it emitted or absorbed. These three emission spectra are from hydrogen, mercury and neon. And you can see that each spectrum is quite different and unique to that element, just like a fingerprint that identifies the element. So somehow, atoms of different elements interact with light in different ways, such that they only take in and spit out very particular wavelengths. It's as though each atom is a super-picky eater at a smorgasbord of the electromagnetic spectrum. So what was going on with the sun's spectrum? Scientists realised that the black lines in the sun's spectrum were telling them about all the different kinds of atoms that were at or near the surface of the sun. As the sunlight radiated outwards, some wavelengths were being absorbed as they passed through the various elements that make up the sun. So the black lines were in fact a kind of secret code, almost like a Morse code, by which the sun was letting us know what it was made of. This discovery, vital information in chemistry and physics, also made a huge difference to the field of astronomy, since for the first time, scientists had a way of remotely working out what other stars were made of. And it turns out that different stars have very different fingerprints. They're made up of different combinations of elements. This lithograph here from 1870 shows stars that were classified into four groups according to the lines in their spectrum. However, the problem was that no one knew why it was that atoms were such picky absorbers and emitters. And it wasn't until collective scientific knowledge got to the point that scientists began to debate what electrons were really doing around the nucleus of the atom, some 40-odd years after this particular lithograph, that this long-standing puzzle began to be solved. And that's the subject of our next video.

Hey guys welcome to another video for my creative year. So this month in my creative year besides the daily words that we're working on We're working on forgotten colors using those paint supplies and materials That you have stuffed in the corners of your art room that you've forgotten that you've never used that you don't use often that you Have never tried Or that you've just you know forgotten about maybe they're not even just your favorite colors And it could be Materials like acrylic paint or watercolor that you use a lot, but maybe there's just certain colors You just never use and you forgot or even in your palette Which happened to me recently when I was painting with this and I was like wait quinoa cron coral. When did I get that? So I'm gonna work on a painting in my watercolor journal with colors specifically in my Daniel Smith palette here That I almost never use and you can tell which ones they are because this one looks freshly poured if you zoom in That looks freshly poured that peak is still on there and you can also tell with this one is phthalo yellow green And I just saw another one where'd it go? new gambos, I don't use often And quinoa cron sienna So we're gonna create we're gonna see where I'm gonna stay away from the ones that have a hole in the middle because obviously I use that one a lot that one's called what blue violet, which I love We're gonna stay away from those and we're gonna just use the ones that I don't use a much We're gonna create a painting. We're gonna see where it takes us and I don't know I'll be back Okay, as we get ready to do the painting. Well, first of all, let me get rid of the overhead light because hello lot of show It's better. All right As we get ready to do the painting the first thing and Probably usually hardest thing for me is what am I gonna paint? So as I do that, I'm gonna go through my camera roll here Yes, I'm constantly taking pictures of things Whether it's artwork or things I see on my walk or there was a sneak peek of stuff here. I'm supposed to see it Um, so let's see what we can find to paint You know that might inspire an interesting painting. This is a picture of One of the neighborhoods near here when we were out walking not long ago So I think I'm gonna do that what I'm gonna do first is Set my phone to not turn off Because there's nothing worse than having to touch your phone every two seconds I'm gonna turn it this way to orient it differently Okay, and I'm gonna set it up there sort of It's gonna be off-camera oops Lost my picture where to go. There it is. I'm gonna prop it up. I do have stuff like Actual things that I could Okay, so we're gonna use colors in my stash of stuff that I don't normally use to create this interesting painting I'm gonna give everything a light wash of I Have Naples yellow in here and it in this palette. I don't use it that much I do like Naples yellow in acrylic paint for some reason in watercolor. I just don't use it that much So we're gonna grab some Naples yellow And I'm gonna put that on the page when I add some water. I just want to like a light wash of color I think I want to add little touches of maybe a blue. Do I have a blue? I don't use very much Yes, I do which is Sleeping Beauty turquoise It's a fine color. It's a fine paint I'm not sure why I bought it because I also have cobalt teal and that color is nearly identical So I don't know why I don't know why I bought it So we're gonna put a little bit of that on that's probably way too much And then I'm gonna again add water and then we're gonna take the dryer to it Okay, we're gonna take a little bit brighter yellow. I have new gambos, which I also don't use much I can always tell because there's no hole in the top of the paint pan Then again, we're gonna go in with just a little bit of water And while that's drying I'm gonna take What color what color what color I think I'm gonna take So we're looking for ones. I don't use much, right? So I have a quedachron burnt scarlet Again, it's in my palette. I should use it. It's a very rusty red color And I'm gonna mix it with One I know I don't use much which is ivory black. I usually go for Payne's gray or neutral tint I'm gonna mix a little bit of that with the Quedachron burnt scarlet a little bit more scarlet in there Nope, that was too much Let me zoom out a little bit so you can see what I'm doing mixing wise There we go. So we'll grab some more black. Yeah, that's better Okay, so we're gonna sort of try to put the suggestion of Street and yeah, I'm gonna take my brush and I'm gonna go along one edge of those colors And I'm gonna just blur it out just a little bit. I'm gonna take that same color I'm gonna add some more black to it. I'm going to let's see make sure Put too much right there whatever we Put too much in dark. We can always go back and add white gel pen Oh, I could also use Chinese white, which I have in my palette. I don't use often Kind of don't see the point in white Watercolor paint don't know why I have it because see it doesn't really show up and especially because these background colors are very light Okay, let's see. Let's put some water in it and see what happens Okay, let's go for Let's go for some of that coral color It's very very very pigmented. So that's probably way too much of it and You know, I'm just using the photo as inspiration. I am not looking to exactly copy the photo Am I looking to suggest the shapes? Yes But I'm not looking to copy the photo and I have the additional challenge of trying to do this And use colors outside the norm that doesn't mean I'm not going to use some of my regular colors But it means I'm going to use some that I wouldn't normally do So we have this green that I almost never use there is a little suggestion of green In some parts. I don't know what I want to blur these out too much. I think I want to leave some shape to them Let's see. I Think I want to take And just Use the tip of my brush to suggest the light pulls It's really the light in the shadowy night That really is appealing to me about this painting. I'm going to blend this out I may end up adding purple to this because I really like to use purple as a dark shadow color Instead of the obvious choice of black I also like to use navy. Oh, I have a new navy blue here. This is a brand new. I haven't used it much because it's brand new it is in Disround blue Oops, where are we? It's that one. I got no idea how to pronounce that. Let's add some of that Oh, yeah, I'm working mostly wet on wet So the colors are blending together, which I'm fine with trying to suggest my shapes Love the dark blue. Okay, let's give that a try I'm gonna take a you know, I always grab the black Let's grab lighter brown pencil, which I never have used and I have a white pencil Right because it's about grabbing things using things we don't ever use, right? Okay, but the white pencils not going to show up on here. I need like a light gel pen Which is right here All right, so let's do that. That's also not showing up very well Might still be a little damp might be why try some white paint shall we gonna grab a brush You know, I like that abstract nature of that and I'm gonna stop That's part of the hardest part about doing art is knowing when to stop and I like the suggestion of light and color there This is the let's zoom out just a little bit. Whoops wrong way. This is the original what I liked about this photo is The light and the reflections, which I think I captured here or at least it's a good start I like to do little practice pieces like this from a photo like this one And then if I like where this went then I would try it on a bigger piece of paper Which I might eventually do with this one Anyway, I want you to go out this month and I want you to work with your forgotten colors You've forgotten paint some materials and really stretch your wings and try something new. Maybe try something That's a little abstract. I'm gonna include a copy of this photo over in the Facebook group my creative year For any and all who are members of the group that want to give it a try and see what you come up with I could see really doing something very abstracted with this photo and this painting In acrylic on canvas would be really cool. Anyway, that's it for today Don't forget to leave any questions comments or concerns down below like share and subscribe if you will There's lots of content here on YouTube and over in the Facebook art groups They're all listed in the description below including my Etsy store patreon YouTube membership PayPal tip jar all that stuff. So check it out. Check out that video description and The most important thing is to go out and have a good day Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys


Animals keep moving around, responding to the environmental stimuli. But what about plants? Do they move? The answer is yes. Even though it's not as obvious as the animals, plants do move. They also respond to various environmental stimuli. And so in this video, we're going to learn about a particular kind of plant movement which is called tropism or tropic movements. So we'll see what it is and we'll look at its different kinds. All right. So what is tropism? Tropism is a kind of movement. It's a kind of turning movement. So it's a turning movement towards, towards or away from. So towards or away from what? From some kind of stimulus, from stimulus. So let me give you an example. If you take a plant and keep it in sunlight, you will see as time passes by, the plant will grow and the shoot will start bending towards the sunlight. This is tropism because notice the plant is moving. It's a kind of turning movement. It is moving towards the sunlight. So sunlight becomes the stimulus. So this is tropism. Similarly, if you look at the roots now carefully, you will find that the roots will start moving away from the sunlight. This is also tropism because this is also a turning movement which is moving away from the sunlight. Let me give you another example. Say you try to take a plant and make it grow horizontally for some reason. You will now see as the plant grows, if you look at the shoot, you will see that it won't grow horizontally. Instead, it will turn up. Again, this is a tropic movement or a tropism because it's a turning movement. But what's the stimulus over here? The stimulus over here is gravity. You will see that this thing is always going to grow against gravity. So it's a turning movement away from gravity. And similarly, if you look at the roots, you will find that the roots will again start growing down. This is also a turning movement towards gravity. So there's also tropism. All right. Now let's take a different example. What about the Touch Me Not Mimosa leaves? We know as a child, you may have done this, right? Touch Me Not Plant, so you go and touch it and you will find that the leaves close. This is also movement. But do you think this is tropism? The answer is no. Even though the plant is responding to stimulus, you can see that the movement is neither towards or away from the stimulus. It doesn't matter where you touch that leaf. You will find that the leaf will just close. It has nothing to do. There's no directional movement. Like in these cases. So this is not a tropic movement. Let me give you another example. This is a Venus fly trap. The moment a fly comes, it traps it. Is this a tropic movement? The answer is no. Why not? Again, because notice there was a stimulus over here. But the movement is neither towards or away from the stimulus. Regardless of how you stimulate it, which direction you stimulate it, it's just going to close. It has nothing to do with it. I mean, it doesn't depend upon the direction of the stimulus. So again, this is not a tropic movement. So these movements, which do not depend on the direction of the stimulus, they are often referred to as nastic movements of plants. So the major difference between these two movements is that tropic movements or tropism depend on the direction of the stimulus, as we saw here. But nastic movements do not depend on the direction of the stimulus. Another difference is that usually, tropic movements are growth-related movements. We see growth in plants, as you can see over here. And in more examples, we'll see that. But in nastic movements, we don't usually see growth in plants. Anyways, we don't have to worry too much about nastic movements. Let's get rid of this. All right. Now, before we go ahead and look at more examples, let's see how to name these tropic movements. The names of these depends on the stimuli. Okay. For example, over here, the stimulus for that bending movement or turning movement is light or photo. So these tropic movements are called phototropism. So this is called phototropism. Phototropism. What about this one? What's the stimulus for these turning movements? Well, we just saw the stimulus is gravity, right? So we can call this gravity tropism. Some people also call this geotropism, just to keep it simple. So we can also call it geotropism, basically because gravity comes from Earth and Earth stands for geo. All right. Let's look at more examples. Check out this creeper plant. What do you see? You see that this creeper is coiling around this stem. This is also a tropic movement, because if you could see this in action, we would have seen that things start turning and bending around the stem. But what's the stimulus for this? What do you think? Can you pause the video and think about what is the stimulus? Well, notice until it touched that stem, there was no bending here. Once it touched, it started bending around it. It started coiling around it. So the stimulus over here is touch. Okay. Based on the touch, this tropic movement happened. Let me give you another example. If you look at the roots which are growing underground, suppose they find an obstacle. Suppose the root of that, one of the roots starts touching the obstacle. Then we will see that the roots will start growing away from that obstacle. Again, we see the touch is the stimulus and here the turning movement is away from the stimulus. Here it was towards. Here is away. So both of these are tropism. So what should we name this? We can call it touch tropism. But the Latin term for touch is thigmo. And so we will call it thigmo tropism. Thigmo tropism. Another example which I won't draw, which you can explore yourself, is something called a hydrotropism. Can you guess what that is? That is movement towards or away from water. Hydro stands for water. So we usually see hydrotropism in roots again. If there is some water somewhere, we will see the roots start growing towards it. Let's look at one more example which can be seen in the reproductive part of the plant. We'll talk about reproduction in great detail in separate videos. But in short, if a plant needs to reproduce, a pollen grain needs to land on the stigma of the flower. These pollen grains, of course, are actually much smaller than what I've drawn. I've just drawn them big so that we can see it properly. Over here is the ovary which contains the excels. And in the pollen grains contains the sperms. And so the sperms need to go and reach the egg. How do the sperms do that? How do they know where to go? This is where the ovary starts secreting some chemicals. So based on these chemicals, you know what's going to happen as this pollen grain matures? Let me zoom in over here. So as it secretes the chemicals, the pollen grain, a tube starts growing from this pollen. And the tube starts following. It grows according to that chemical released. It follows it, follows it, follows it, follows it all the way into the ovary. And now that there is a nice path over here, the sperm cells can easily follow into that pollen tube and then go and fuse with the egg. So let's zoom back. So can you see this moment of pollen tube towards the ovary is also a tropic moment. It is a turning moment, it is turning, and it is moving towards the stimulus in this case. What do you think is the stimulus? The stimulus was some chemicals released over here. Another such example can be seen again in the roots. If there are some harmful substances which release some harmful chemicals, the roots will sense that and this time they will start growing away from that. So again, this is a turning moment away from the stimulus, the stimulus being some chemicals. So what do you think we should call this tropism? Since this tropism is due to chemicals, we will call this chemotropism. Chemotropism. So these were some major examples of tropism and of course there are others as well which you can explore yourself. But before we wind up, one last thing to remember is when it comes to naming these, we like to differentiate between movement towards the stimulus and movement away from the stimulus. The way we like to do that is whenever the movement is towards the stimulus, we will call that as a positive tropism and whenever it's away from the stimulus, we call it negative tropism. So for example, if you look at the shoot over here, it is bending towards the sunlight and so we will say this is positive tropism. So the shoots show positive phototropism. Does that make sense? Similarly, if you look at the roots, they are bending away from the sunlight and therefore the shoots show, sorry, the roots show negative phototropism. Similarly, when it comes over here, if you look at the roots, this time you see the roots grow towards gravity. Gravity is a stimulus, right? Since the roots are growing towards gravity or towards Earth, we will say the roots show positive geotropism. Does that make sense? Similarly, what about the shoots? The shoots are showing negative geotropism because they're going away from the Earth. Can you look at these examples and try and figure out quickly which of them are positive and negative? All right. Over here, notice that the creeper is bending towards the stimulus. Once it touches, it wraps around that. So this is a positive thigmotropism. Over here, once it touches the rock, the roots are going away from it. So this is negative thigmotropism. Over here, notice the pollen greens, sorry, not the pollen, the pollen tube is growing towards the chemicals released by the ovary. So this is positive geotropism. Over here, again, the roots are moving away from this acidic, not acidic, this is some harmful chemical. So since they're moving away, this is an example for negative geotropism. That's pretty much it for this video.


Are you here to the Sunday service? If you could please tell us your name and where you're from. My name is Makiba and I'm from Canada. And Makiba, can you please tell us what is the amazing testimony that God has done for you in your life? Okay. It all started in 2012 when I came to the conference that Wiseman Harry had here. Yes, and I had come here for screening and with the testimony I'm going to tell you, I did not tell anybody when they were writing down when we had to explain why we came and our purpose. I hadn't told anybody anything. It was just between me and God because I said, if they're real, then I'll get delivered. And that's what happened. So then when I was in the prayer line on the Sunday, it was the last prayer line, Wiseman Harry came and he prayed for me. And he turned to me and he said that there is a man that acts as my husband within my dreams. So, and it was true, I did have a spiritual husband. I was the only person that knew about it. And... So you mean to say that nobody knew about your problem that you were having? No, nobody. I was the only person that knew. I didn't tell anyone at all. Okay, and so when he came to pray for you, what did he say? He turned to me and he said that there is a man that acts as if he is your husband in your dreams. And when you were having these dreams, were they very often? What was happening? Multiple times a week, so yes, very often. And can you please tell and tell the congregation that is listening? How is this affecting your life when you were experiencing this, spiritual husband, those tormenting dreams? I would feel isolated around other people. I wouldn't be able to make friends very well and keep them. Also, I would be very angry. So any little situation, even if it's something you should just be annoyed, I'd be angry and I could be hostile and very impatient. Okay, and once he prophesied to you and told and confronted the situation, what happened next? At first, I didn't feel anything and as the ladies that were singing appeared, they were still singing, I just kept singing and believing that I would get my deliverance. And as the, even when the singing stopped, I noticed I started getting lighter and lighter and lighter and feeling better. And when I went to sleep that night, never had it again. Wow, come on, give her a hand of applause. So this prayer and prophecy of service was in 2012. It is 2015 right now, so it's been three years. Can you please tell us your progress and what you've observed once you received that deliverance? I no longer get agitated very easily. Even if I have a situation with someone we don't agree, a week later we can talk and get along very well and there's no problems. I'm very friendly now, people are very friendly with me, even people I don't talk to, say I'm a very wonderful and nice person, so that's great to hear. Yeah. Can you tell us, have you been having those dreams ever since, since you said before that they were happening quite often, multiple times through the week? Are you experiencing any now? No.  That's amazing. And now that you received the deliverance and it's been three years with no of those tormenting dreams and you've seen progress in your own personal life, what can you tell those that are watching and listening here? What can you say, what can you encourage them with?  Even if you don't feel an immediate change, don't let that be something that costs you to doubt. Just believe even more and press forward. Amen. Amen, thank you so much, you can take a seat. Come on.
