>>> IT IS WEEK TEN OF LAKESHORE PREP SPORTS HERE ON LAKESHORE PBS.

TONIGHT, WE GET YOU READY FOR BOYS REGIONAL BASKETBALL, COMING UP ON SATURDAY, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THE GREAT SECTIONAL ACTION.

NOT A WHOLE LOT OF SURPRISES WITH SOME OUTSTANDING GAMES.

>> SOME OF THESE GAMES WENT RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE.

>> THERE WAS AN UPSET.

>> ESPECIALLY MUNSTER, THAT TURNED OUT TO BE MORE AWESOME THAN AWESOME.

>> LIVED UP TO IT.

>> EXACTLY.

>> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, WITH LAKESHORE PREP SPORTS RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>>> WEEK TEN OF LAKESHORE PREP SPORTS ON LAKESHORE PBS, IT IS REGIONAL TIME, AND BOYS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL, AND WE DID HAVE SOME EXCELLENT MATCH-UPS AND GREAT GAMES OVER THE WEEKEND, AND LET'S LOOK AHEAD TO THE REGIONALS, COMING UP THIS WEEKEND AND WHO HAS SURVIVED THE SECTIONALS.

>> CHESTER TON, THEY'VE BEEN A STALLWORTH THIS YEAR, THEY DEFEATED IN BUFFALO, A GAME THAT WAS TIGHT FOR MOST OF IT BUT THEN CHESTER TON TOOK THE LEAD TO TAKE CONTROL OF THAT VICTORY.

>> THIS WAS A STRANGE GAME, TOMMY, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE VALPARAISO LED AND THEN THEY GET BLITZED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

>> IT PAYS TO HAVE THAT SECTIONAL EXPERIENCE OF GOING DOWN THE LADDER WITH CHESTER TON AND HOW MANY TEAMS DO YOU KNOW THAT HAVE A TOP SCORE FROM THE YEAR BEFORE, GRADUATE, AND YET, YOU COME BACK?

AND YOU STILL MAKE IT THIS FAR, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE THEM CREDIT.

>> YEAH, AND TYLER PARISH, MAN, TWO OUTSTANDING, JUSTIN SIMS.

>> LOOK AT BOTH OF THOSE PLAYERS AND ONE -- 19, TYLER PIERCE IS AVERAGING 17, THAT IS A LOT OF POINTS COMING FROM TWO TWO PLAYERS BUT THEY'RE AVERAGING 64 POINTS FROM THIS.

>> AND CHESTER TON DOING WELL GOING TO THE PAINT AGAINST THE VALPARAISO, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE HIGHLIGHT, THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE IN SHOTS THAT HELPS COME TOURNAMENT TIME.

>> A BIG POINT, BIG TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE.

>> YEAH.

>> IT IS HUGE.

AND THESE GUYS WENT TO THE STATE FINALS, THEY HAD A TREMENDOUS EXPERIENCE LAST YEAR.

SOME TEAMS MAYBE THAT DIDN'T HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE, WOULD HAVE FELT SOME PRESSURE WITH VALPARAISO AHEAD.

>> UH-HUH.

>> BUT CHESTER TON DID NOT.

>> AND VALPARAISO, IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT A TEAM HAS WON A GAME ON THE ROAD IN -- IT'S THE SECOND TIME THIS PAST WEEK.

>> THE GAME WAS AT CROWN POINT HERE.

>> CROWN POINT.

>> BUT THIS IS A RIVALRY GAME.

>> YEAH.

>> AND YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT THAT PASSION IS REALLY STRONG AND REALLY HOT WITH THESE TEAMS AND YOU KNOW, IT'S -- IT WAS A HECK OF A GAME, AND THE ISSUE WITH VALPARAISO RIGHT NOW, IS JONES, THEIR MAIN SCORER, THE DIVISION ONE PLAYER, MORE OF A GUARD TYPE, SO HE DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CLOSE UP THAT LANE, SO CHESTER TON COULD RUN FREE AND TAKE TO THE HOLE.

>> VALPARAISO, THEY GOT THE THIRD SCORE, REALLY, HELPED THEM I THINK, IN THE FIRST THREE-QUARTERS OF THIS GAME.

BUT NOW CHESTER TON IS UP AGAINST IT, THIS TEAM HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING ALL YEAR.

>> YEAH, TOOK CARE OF VALPARAISO THIS YEAR, EASILY, THEIR NUMBER ONE IN THEIR CONFERENCE THERE, AND IF YOU LOOK AT MY PICK HERE, THE 26-1 PENN TEAM, OVER CHESTER TON IN THE REGIONAL, I HATE TO SAY IT, THIS IS GOING TO BE A -- I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THESE CLOSE GAMES WHERE SIMS AND SOME OF THE CHESTER TON EXPLOSIVE SCORERS LIKE PARISH, PENN IS GOING TO BE TOO MUCH IN THE MISHAWAKA.

>> FOR PENN, 30 POINTS A GAME.

>> EXACTLY, AND IF YOU'RE IN THE CONFERENCE, EVENTUALLY, YOU HAVE TO PLAY PENN, WHETHER IT'S FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL, BUT PENN WAS ONLY ONE LOSS THIS YEAR.

>> YEAH.

>> SO I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

>> RIGHT.

>> THEIR ALL GOING TO BE AWFULLY TOUGH TO BEAT.

>> AND 78 POINTS PER GAME.

>> NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT TO CHESTER TON, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SLOW DOWN.

>> YOU DO.

>> YOU KNOW, 78 POINTS PER GAME AND ONE PLAYER IS AVERAGING 30.

STILL 48 POINTING PER GAME COMING FROM SOMEWHERE, IT'S A TOUGH TEAM.

>> AND AL RHODES HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK, THE COACH, SO OBVIOUSLY, STATE TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE THERE AS WELL.

>> HE OWNS THE BLOCK.

>> YEAH [ LAUGHTER ] >> HE DOES, HE DOES.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO 4A.

SPEAKING OF 26-1, HOW ABOUT 25-1?

>> CENTRAL HAS BEEN DYNAMITE THIS YEAR, AND JORDAN WOODS THERE, GETTING THE SAVE.

AND STEALING THE BALL.

WONDERFUL PLAY BY HAMMOND THERE.

>> TOOK THE LEAD EARLY, BEFORE HAMMOND CAME BACK.

>> EXACTLY, AND THAT SHOWS THE EXPERIENCE OF HAMMOND CENTRAL, NOW, MIND YOU, LAST YEAR, THEY DID NOT DO WELL IN THE TOURNAMENT COMPARED TO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, THIS YEAR, THEY HAVE A TEAM TO PLAY DEFENSE, PUT THE BALL IN THE -- THEY WON THE BALL GAME.

>> AND THE SAME SCENARIO, THIS TIME IT WAS ON MUNSTER'S HOME FLOOR AND YOU HAD A TEAM THAT HAS BEEN IN TOUGH GAMES, IN THE STATE TOURNAMENTS.

>> RIGHT.

>> THEY DIDN'T FEEL THE PRESSURE WHEN THEY WERE TRAILING EARLY AND CONTINUE TO PLAY AND WIN THE GAME.

>> I SPOKE TO ONE OF THE RADIO CORRESPONDENTS.

>> GARY V. >> GARY IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

AND WHAT GARY TOLD ME WAS, THAT WITH THAT WHOLE MOMENTUM MUNSTER JUMPED OFF TO A LEAD AND HAMMOND CHASED THEM AND CHASED THEM AND GOT IT CLOSER AND THEN TOOK OVER IN THE FOURTH QUARTER BUT RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE.

>> AND THE BOTTOM LINE, IF YOU SCORE THAT MANY POINTS PER GAME, IF YOU CHASE.

>> RIGHT.

>> KENNETH BRANTLEY, IN THESE HIGHLIGHTS, OUTSTANDING, JORDAN WOODS AGAIN.

>> YOU SEE ANYTHING BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THAT PHOTO WE'RE SEEING?

>> STADIUM.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> EVERY SEAT FILLED UP.

THAT'S A GREAT THING TO SEE.

>> SOLD OUT, THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD TO TURN SOME FOLKS AWAY.

>> PROBABLY.

>> STANDING ROOM IN THAT CORNER THERE.

>> UH-HUH.

>> STANDING ROOM IN THE CORNER ALL NIGHT, WASN'T JUST WAITING TO GET IN, WITH THE NICE SHOT FROM IF WING THERE.

>> YEAH.

>> HERE WE GO.

>> SPEAKING OF MASSEY KING, LAYING IT IN.

THIS HAMMOND CENTRAL TEAM IS REALLY EXPLOSIVE AND YOUR HEARTBREAKS FOR MUNSTER, BECAUSE THE WAY THESE TWO TEAMS FOUGHT, AND THE WAY IT CAME DOWN TO A COUPLE OF FREE FLOWS AT THE END, HEARTBREAKING AND A TOUGH WAY FOR MUNSTER TO GO OUT.

>> AND ON THE SUBJECT OF GATE COACHES, LARRY MOORE JR., LET'S GIVE THIS GUY SOME LOVE, HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS BASKETBALL TEAM.

HIS DAD WAS THE COACH OF THE HAMMOND HIGH BASKETBALL SQUAD, AND NOW, LOOK AT WHAT HE'S DOING WITH THIS TEAM, COACHING NOW.

>> YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM CREDIT, TOO, THEIR SCHEDULE AS TYPICAL AS POSSIBLE, GOING AND PLAYING OVER THE STATE LINE.

>> WELL, THE CELTICS WEREN'T AVAILABLE, SO THEY HAD TO GET WHO THEY CAN GET.

>> YOU LIKE HAMMOND CENTRAL.

>> YEAH.

I'M GOING TO TAKE HAMMOND CENTRAL, AGAINST MISHAWAKA.

I DON'T KNOW, IT'S AWFULLY HARD TO GO UP AGAINST A TEAM NAMED CAVE MEN -- 72-65.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> I LIKE IT.

>> ALMOST LIKE THEY DON'T BELONG AT 20-6, BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS 25-1.

>> EXACTLY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE 3A REGIONAL, WITH LAKE STATION.

TOMMY, YOU KNOW ABOUT THESE GUYS, 22-3, LOOKING GOOD.

>> NEVER HEARD OF THEM.

NO, JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING.

[ LAUGHTER ] THEY ARE GETTING IT DONE, IT'S NOT JUST ONE GUY, AND NOW YOU SEE NUMBER 2.

>> TRAVIS.

>> TRAVIS RANDOLPH, THE GUY THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, HE HAD TO COME IN HERE AND REPLACE WHOEVER THEY HAD LAST YEAR, WHO DID NOT PLAY THIS YEAR.

TRAVIS HAS COME IN, DONE A GREAT JOB, AND REALLY MELLOW, GREAT JOB, LEARNED FROM HIS DAD, GREAT BALL PLAYER AND OTHER PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM THAT CAN MAKE IT THREE OR FOUR GUYS THAT CAN PUT THE BALL IN THE BASKET IF NECESSARY.

>> YOU MENTIONED TWO OUTSTANDING PLAYERS ALREADY, AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED ARMANI, HE LEADS IN ASSISTS AND STEALS, MULTIPLE STARS ON THIS SQUAD.

>> A GREAT TRIVIA QUESTION, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK MILLER WAS THE LEADING SCORER, IT'S GONZALES, A COUPLE OF SHOTS THIS YEAR.

>> VERY IMPRESSIVE VICTORY OVER THE CENTRAL WILDCATS AND A REALLY BIG WIN THERE, 66-48, THAT'S A BIG IMPRESSIVE WIN AND WE'VE JOKED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, TO SAY MOVED UP TO 3A.

>> YEAH.

>> IN HOPES OF WINNING A SECTIONAL.

AND THEY WERE ABLE TO BACK IT UP.

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT HANOVER-CENTRAL GAME WAS GOING TO BE CLOSE.

>> THE GAME WAS AT HANOVER CENTRAL.

>> RIGHT.

>> AND I'LL BEAT YOU GUYS TO THIS, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THE SAY, THESE GUYS HAVE NOT WON A SECTIONAL SINCE 1941, BEFORE YOU SAY A WORD, NO, I WAS NOT THE PA ANNOUNCER THAT DAY.

>> [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT 1941 IS THE LAST TIME THAT THOSE GUYS WON A SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, YOU KNOW THAT HAS GOT TO BE A GOOD SUCCESS FOR THEM.

>> GOOD FOR THEM.

THAT'S REALLY EXCITING FOR THIS SQUAD AND THEY HAVE EARNED IT.

THEY PLAYED EXPLOSIVE BASKETBALL THIS YEAR, AND BALL SHARING AND THEY LOOKED GREAT.

>> IF GARY HAZE WAS WATCH, A LOT OF THOSE YEARS WAS A ONE CLASS TOURNAMENT.

>> VERY GOOD POINT.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> GREAT POINT.

>> THAT'S TRUE.

>> GREAT POINT.

BUT SERIOUSLY, THE THING ABOUT LAKE STATION, YOU HAVE TO LEARN, THE FACT THAT THEY'RE 22-3, SO FAR THIS SEASON, THEY SCORED ALMOST 70 POINTS PER GAME.

THEY PLAYED SOME DEFENSE, TOO.

>> YEAH.

>> THEY PLAYED THE D, TOO, THEY'RE GOING TO BE A TOUGH OPPONENT COMING UP THIS WEEKEND.

>> WELL, THEY FINISHED THE SEASON WITH 13-GAME WINNING STREAK, BUT HARDER RIGHT NOW.

>> IN THE PAPER THAT ONE OF THEIR GAMES, THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THEY WERE PLAYING DEFENSIVELY AND HE YANKED EVERYBODY OUT.

>> YEAH, HE WILL DO THAT.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> SO HERE'S MY PICK, THIS IS LAKE STATION GOING UP AGAINST NORTH WOOD.

>> WHAT.

>> NORTH WOOD IS THE NUMBER ONE TEAM.

>> HOLD ME BACK, JOE.

>> AT LAST THE MAN THAT CARES ABOUT HIS RECORD.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> THE RECORD.

>> AS MUCH AS I LOVE LAKE STATION, WATCHED THEM PLAY, NORTH WOOD IS TOUGH.

>> EAGLES.

>> AFTER THAT TEN PICK, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT ONE.

>> YEAH, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN [ LAUGHTER ] >> AGAINST THE RELIGION OF ALL REGION TEAMS, I SHOULD HAVE NOUN THAT WAS COMING >>> HOW ABOUT CLASS 1A?

21ST CENTURY TAKING ON WEST VIEW.

EXCUSE ME, 2A.

BACKWARDS FOR A YEAR WHEN 21ST CENTURY WAS 1A.

>> YEAH, BUT NOT 2A YOU'RE RIGHT.

>> AND ONE OR TWO PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM THAT HAVE SCORED 1,000 POINTS IN THEIR CAREER, ACTUALLY ONLY A WEEK BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER, THEY SCORED 1,000 POINTS.

>> ROBBIE WOULD HAVE LOVED THAT.

>> YEAH.

>> ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT RIPPING THROUGH THE GOAL, RIGHT.

>> ROY CASS THERE, AND IF YOU SAW EARLIER, THERE WAS I A -- ANOTHER JUMP, OH, MY GOODNESS.

IN 21ST CENTURY TEAM WAS TOUGH, THEY WERE ALMOST UNBEATABLE.

>> THE CAMERA THERE IS SET THE FEET RIGHT THERE.

>> MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR TIME AND DUNK IT SO THAT YOU CAN LOOK IN THE CAMERA AND LET THEM KNOW.

>> DEMETRIUS WILLIAMS KNEW WHERE THAT CAMERA WAS.

>> THAT ONE FROM WILLIAMSON, THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

>> THEN YOU HAVE D.J.

MOSS AND THAT BRINGS ABOUT THE OLD FOOTBALL LINE, YOU JUST GOT MOSSED.

[ LAUGHTER ] RIGHT THERE.

>> BOY, DEMETRIUS, WOO, YEAH.

>> YEAH.

>> ATHLETIC ABILITY THERE.

>> HERE'S THE PROBLEM.

IT'S A PROBLEM HERE.

>> OH!

>> OH!

>> HELLO.

>> THAT WAS -- [ LAUGHTER ] >> HE CAME UP WITH THE FLUSH.

>> YES.

>> THIS IS LIKE A HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS GAME, SHARING THE WEALTH, I LOVE IT.

>> GREAT.

>> HERE'S MY PROBLEM, THOUGH, YOU'RE GOING TO GO UP AGAINST A TEAM THAT IS I WOULD SAY ABOUT AS SMIDGE OVER 500, THEY'RE GOING TO COME OUT TOMORROW OR SATURDAY, AND THEY'RE GOING TO SLOW THAT BALL DOWN.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET 21ST CENTURY RUN LIKE THEY'RE DOING RIGHT HERE.

>> HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE BALL AGAINST -- >> YEAH, AND FOR FULL PRESSURE MORE THAN LIKELY, THAT'S DIFFICULT TO SLOW IT DOWN TOO MUCH, YOU CAN'T LOSE THE BALL, TURN IT OVER AND TRY TO STAY IN THE GAME THAT WAY, SO.

>> YEAH, YOUR POINT IS WELL-TAKEN, BUT 71 POINTS PER GAME AS YOU GET FOURTHER DOWN STATE, AWFULLY HARD TO PICK UP.

SO I WANT TO SEE 21ST CENTURY WIN THIS GAME, BUT TEAMS THAT DON'T LIKE TO MOVE THE BALL THAT FAST, MOVE THE BALL AT ALL, THEY SCARE ME.

THEY SCARE ME A LITTLE BIT.

>> YEAH, WEST VIEW TENDS TO SLOW THE GAME DOWN A LITTLE BIT, AND THEY ARE ONE OF THESE GRINDING TYPE TEAMS, WHICH OFTEN TIMES CAN ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT ATHLETICISM, AND THIS IS INDIANA, THIS IS THE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

>> YEAH.

>> NO DOUBT.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S OUR BASKETBALL AND THERE'S THE PICK.

I'M NOT BUYING YOUR SLOWING IT DOWN THEORY.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WIN THE GAME, I'M -- IT SCARES ME WHEN THEY DO THAT.

>> YEAH.

>> OLD PLYMOUTH STYLE.

>> I -- >> OH, BOY, YOU DON'T WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

>> EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> WOW.

>> EVERY TIME I THINK -- >> I'M THINKING ABOUT RONALDO.

>> GOD BLESS HIM.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>>> TIME FOR OUR FEATURE TONIGHT.

THE DEFENDING STATE CHAMPS IN GIRLS GYMNASTICS, THEY WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE REGIONAL, BUT LET'S MEET THE CROWN POINT GIRLS GYMNASTICS TEAM.

♪[ MUSIC ]♪ >> IT'S BEEN A GREAT SEASON, WE WON STATE LAST YEAR.

WE LOST A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD ATHLETES BUT I STILL HAVE A PHENOMENAL TEAM.

>> SUPER DYNAMITE, I HAVE SO MUCH TALENT, THERE'S ONLY NINE OF THEM AND THEY REALLY FEED ON EACH OTHER.

THAT'S HOW THE TEAM WAS LAST YEAR, TOO, EVERYBODY IS REALLY TALENTED SO THEY BUILD ON EACH OTHER.

>> THEY JUST ARE VERY COHESIVE TOGETHER, WORKING FOR THE SAME GOAL.

>> IT'S REALLY AMAZING TO SEE ALL OF MY TEAMMATES GET NEW SKILLS AT PRACTICE, AND BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM COMPETE THEIR NEW SKILLS AND I THINK LIKE PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN THEIR SKILL GOALS THIS YEAR AND JUST REALLY STRONG TEAM OVERALL, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE US FINISH THE SEASON STRONG.

>> EVERYONE IS FUNNY, GIGGLING, AND GOOFY, BUT PRETTY GIGGLING AND GOOFY, SUPPORTIVE AND HELPING EACH OTHER.

>> OVER THE PAST YEAR, NO MATTER HOW WE'RE DOING, WITH EVERY SINGLE SEASON, ALL THE GIRLS NO MATTER WHAT ARE ALWAYS SUPPORTING EACH OTHER.

MAKE THE BEST SEASON OUT OF EVERY SEASON, NO MATTER A GOOD SEASON OR A BAD SEASON, GOOD FOR EACH OTHER AND DO THE BEST THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN.

NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME IS, HAPPY WITH IT.

>> VERY SUPPORTIVE, VERY MOTIVATING WITH EACH OTHER.

WE LIKE TO CHEER EACH OTHER ON LIKE ANOTHER MEETS, WE'RE PROBABLY THE LOUDEST TEAM, SCREAMING AND CHEERING EACH OTHER.

SOMETIMES WE HUG EACH OTHER SO HARD, WE KNOCK EACH OTHER TO THE GROUND, VERY FUN AND VERY SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH EVERYONE.

>> FRIENDS, THEY'RE VERY SILLY, BUT THEY'RE FIERCE COMPETITORS, THEY PRACTICE HARD, WE HAVE GOOD STRUCTURED PRACTICE BUT THERE'S A LOT OF SILLY SHENANIGANS THAT GO ON, THEY'RE TEENAGERS, THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

BUT WHEN THEY COME TOGETHER TO COMPETE, THEY'RE FIERCE AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM WINNERS.

>> IT MAKES ME PROUD TO REPRESENT CROWN POINT.

>> IT'S AMAZING TO BE A PART OF A TEAM LIKE THIS, ALL OF THE HISTORY OF THIS YEAR AND.

>> IT FEELS VERY GOOD BEING PART OF THE TEAM LIKE THIS.

>> IT MEANS A LOT BECAUSE TO BE PART OF THE TEAM THAT LIKE WORKS REALLY HARD AND JUST BEING ABLE TO MAKE HISTORY LAST YEAR, WITH THE STATE WIN.

>> I WOULD SAY NOT BEING AS HARD ON MYSELF AND TO ACCEPT THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE PERFECT EVERY TIME AND IT'S OKAY TO FALL SOMETIMES AND THAT'S ALL PART OF GROWTH AND NOW WHEN I DON'T PERFORM AS WELL, I JUST SHAKE IT OFF.

AND THEN I WORK HARDER FOR THE NEXT MEET.

AND JUST NOT TAKE IT AS HARD.

>> THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DIFFERENT TEAMS THAT I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS.

>> I'VE HAD TEAMS THAT HAVE STRUGGLED TO GET OVER 100 POINTS AND I'VE HAD TEAMS THAT ARE VERY GOOD AND VERY TALENTED BUT THEY CAN'T QUITE MESH WITH EACH OTHER AND MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN.

>> LAST YEAR, AND THIS YEAR, THERE WAS THIS MAGIC, ESPECIALLY LAST YEAR, SEEING THEM BEING ABLE TO COME TOGETHER FOR THAT COMMON GOAL.

IT WILL SILLINESS IN THE GYM AND THEM BEING TEENAGERS IS VERY TIFF TYPICAL, BUT THEY PUT THEIR GAME FACES ON AND COME OUT ON TOP.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN SOME TEAMS THAT ARE TALENTED IN THE PAST, THEY ARE DIDN'T QUITE MESH TOGETHER.

AND THAT'S A HUGE, HUGE PART OF BEING A TEAM.

IS THAT COHESIVENESS AND BEING ABLE TO TRULY MESH AND BUILD ON EACH OTHER'S PERFORMANCES, WE HAVE SUCH A THRIVING THEATRE PROGRAM GOING ON IN THE HIGH SCHOOL, GREAT THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN FOR CROWN POINT GYMNASTICS, HAVE A GREAT STAFF, WE WORK HARD AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL KEEP THE LEGACY GOING FOR MANY YEARS AHEAD.

>>> ALL RIGHT, DEFENDING STATE CHAMPS AND I THINK ALSO THE HEAVY FAVORITES TO WIN STATE THIS YEAR IN GIRLS GYMNASTICS.

>> ALL RIGHT, UPCOMING REGIONAL GAME, COMING UP THIS WEEKEND.

HEARTBREAKER FOR MICHIGAN CITY, BOY, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT ONE, BUT, WOO, HAD A HEARTBREAKER OVER THE WEEKEND.

CHESTER TON AND PENN, SEEN THAT ONE, 3A, LAKE STATION, GLENN, SOUTH BEND, WASHINGTON, AND 2A.

>> ALEX DOWN IN KOUTS, AVERAGING 21 POINTS PER GAME.

A VERY SUCCESSFUL PLAYER DOWN THERE, AND SHE'S GOT A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF HER.
