going to try and score and she is in safety goal. Big knock touchdown record. Hello everyone and welcome to the Cardinal Stadium for CTN's live coverage
of boys high school lacrosse. The Catirds from Spring Lake Park Rapids hosting the Rogers Royals. Joe Young, Tom Holly Shapiro up above for tonight's contest and how it's been a rough go for the home squad this season and they're
facing a tough opponent in Rogers. They can put up big numbers. >> Yeah, Rogers comes in at six and three. the last couple of games, uh, they've been been on a scorefest and and obviously the SLPCR squad, as you mentioned, struggling at 1 and eight as they come into this contest. Just looking for some continuity. There's
going to be some additional people in the lineup tonight. Some starters out that would normally get the some playing time to start. There's >> Chris Tout, head coach of the SLPCR squad. >> He's taught them everything they know.
>> Yes. and he's ready to take them into battle here. One of the few appearances for the squad at the Cardinal Stadium this season. >> There's head coach Riley Wood. >> Sent me a nice note today.
>> Could not have asked for nicer weather for the contest. >> It's be It's beautiful tonight. I think it's in the mid60s sunshiny day. We're at the uh we're at the stadium where where could we be better off?
>> We are having always a good time coming here and you know our first obviously out chance to see the boys lacrosse team. 12 minutes. >> And just like that, we are ready to get underway. And we talk about it every time. How it's all about possession. And
>> SLPCR went from a win over Andover last week on Monday, 9 to8 to a game against Centennial where they only scored one goal, lost 12 to1. And you know, I'm assuming this, but a lot of it had to do with they just didn't have enough
possession in comparison to the Cougars. >> No, I mean, a good a good team is going to possess the ball, and you can see those 50-50 balls, winning those are really important. that you know Rogers is again just coming and attacking >> on attacking with speed and getting in
position to make sure they maintain possession. >> Shot and a goal for Max Brewers starts the scoring 28 seconds in. Coach Wood sent me a nice little note today and talked about what are some of the things that you know he
he's looking for and what their team needs to do to be successful and and um you know really a healthy portion of balance between their transition game and and their settled play. And you saw him coming in here with just doing a nice job of setting it up.
Well, a lot of empty space in front of Max Brewers to walk in and put the shot up above the shoulder of the keeper, Brody Gamllo. >> Well, they have four four athletes with 10 or more goals. That's 13 goals now in
the season for Brewers. Again, you talked about you see the possession again. They're just, you know, looking to set up their offense. >> Bre Cassidy working right side, trying to get around the corner, weaving through some traffic, firing wide, and
>> he took on the entire SLPCR defense. >> Went right through him. Turn down. Turn down. This >> one back up top to Brewers on the left side. He tries to get to the middle. Pursued shoots wide >> again. In good position. Jared Ike makes
sure that >> the Royals get another go. >> Celot sends it back up top for Sawyer Como and Brewers >> will work it around to the left side. Cassidy little head fake
>> tries to split a couple of guys. Spins loose. Leaves it off for Brewers. >> Brewers pursued well. >> Little give and go as Sawyer Como and back to Cassidy. Cassidy. Little pump
fake working. Gets that pass in low and >> too tight. >> Was Brady flat? got in the goalie space. >> You saw he tried. He's a big young man. >> He tried to get that toe back out of the circle and that's what put him to the
ground. He realized >> he was encroaching in the crease. >> Yes, >> it's a far far more serious infraction in lacrosse as it is in hockey. One toe inside the crease and you turn the ball
over. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. >> This one scooped up by Alton Larson. He's on the run the other way. And the Royals already early on showing speed pretty much across the board to
get quickly into the attacking third. Good defense there scooped up by Wyatt Lereck Olsson. He sends it downfield. It's intercepted though by Jason Hassau.
In the middle, Alton Larson. And again, quickly to the other end, Cassidy, a little pump fake, tried to drop it down low again to Clatt standing right at the top of the goalie circle. That didn't quite click. Big collision
near midfield. Swept where it could be scooped up by Brewers. Brewers defended right side by Kaden Conler down the >> sideline. able to get a little space, drop it back,
>> and then again resetting. >> Long shot for Cassidy is good. >> That was a nice goal. They do a really nice job of setting up their their offense, moving the ball around the perimeter. That's goal number 18 on the season for Cassidy. They do a really good job of putting the
pressure around the goal mouth. And you can see there just But that is just a shot from long distance. Just a rocket to the back of the net. Well, and SLPCR had a stud between the pipes for three seasons. Tommy Scram Scramstead is off
playing college >> level lacrosse out east. >> And these cat birds have used couple of different guys in between the post this season trying to find someone to
shoulder the responsibility and You can't you can't expect to to live up to that level of performance immediately, but but at least >> they need to find guys that are are showing the desire to be that good and to put in the work to get better. It's
an important position, especially if your team struggles to find possession, >> which obviously the Catbirds have been doing. >> You know, it's just a matter, especially with some different players in the lineup. you know, they uh they're not they don't have the same lineup they've been
playing. Uh some injuries have been taking their toll here late in the season. >> Chance in close for Sawyer. Como was kicked away by the keeper GML. >> Bobbing and weaving is Seots. He turns and scores
>> and it's 3-0. Yeah, they just do a really nice job of working the ball around. >> Well, Se has some shifty moves >> coming out and then the >> jump shot. >> Goal number 26 on the season.
>> So, he's saying you're he's victimized other defenses before. >> He's done he's done a nice job of it this season so far. infraction on the face off. So SLPCR awarded the ball opportunity
to try and set up their offense offense. They have to make the these kind of opportunities count because we talked about at the beginning. Rogers really good team at six and three. They can score and they've already already have a three-0 lead at this point.
>> Conkler gives it back to Ken Leansky. And now >> up top with it is Boston Green. Left side run for Leansky. Looks into the middle. >> Pass was bobbled, didn't click, and it's scooped up by the keeper, Jacob Denino
for Rogers. >> It was a nice look inside by the Caters. They just couldn't get anything to go. >> Yeah, Daniel Viscara Davis was there just unable to ex accept the pass. And at the other end, a catch and shoot for Brady Clad. He makes it a four nothing
lead. Yeah. And you know, Glatt just hangs out there by the goal. And he's such a big young man. >> Well, you take away some some sight lines, >> draw at least one defender to you. >> Yep.
>> That's goal number three. >> On the season. Another faceoff win for the Royals as running back on it is Gavin Huff. >> Near side run for Eastston Farnsworth. Ike back up top.
>> Brewers will >> set it over for >> Cassidy. Got it back. Long shot stopped up by JMLO. >> That's a big That's a big stop. That >> uh that was again nice shot. Point blank
range. The >> goalender makes a good play on it. Jello normally a midfielder so comfortable carrying it up field and then >> waiting for someone to come pressure him and then he gets it ahead. >> Oh, he's he's got the he's got the uh
actually he's got the most minutes in in goals for the Catbergs. >> He's still listed as midfielder and still look quite comfortable running. You're definitely right. >> That pass doesn't click. Gets away from Blake Melum. Scooped back up though by
Toby Tranby. >> Not surprising to hear a bunch of hockey names at the attacking end. Especially >> Neielson pressured hard up top by Jackson House. down low. A chance backhand and what a
save. Point blank on the chance from Braden Hemquist. >> And somehow Denino kept it out. >> He he really did. And you know, and he's not the he's not the biggest of stature between the pipes. It doesn't seem to matter. >> Cassidy
puts it over the shoulder of the keeper makes it a five nothing game with 444 to go in the first quarter. They they make the attack portion of their game look really easy and you know and I know it's not. However, they just do a really nice job of moving the ball >> up field and then just uh snapping that
shot off. >> By far the best look of the game so far and the kick save by Jacob Denino showing why he's number one. >> Back at the other end, Brett Cassidy and that's his second of the game and it's a five nothing Rogers lead. Well, you
know, the Royals won the conference a year ago, so they've kind of have always have a target on their back, but they've been playing uh they've been playing pretty well >> considering they they have that mix of youth and veteran experience. >> Craig Amenson there to receive the face
off. Another win for Rogers. And Damon Molen >> runs into the attacking end. He's going right to the net. It was knocked free. Scooped back up momentarily by Celot. still loose. Bodies bouncing around.
Nobody can secure it. >> Trying to scoop his Seot. >> A hot potato. >> Finally able to control his Ike. He gets it back. Long shot by Cassidy. Deflected wide out of bounds and Rogers
will maintain possession. out front. Clatt turns and shoots over his shoulder. It was wide with Seot right there along the end line. >> See, we've seen him. He's got shifty moves. He's got a good shot as well. Long shot >> from Como. Knocked away
>> and then it rolls back in and Jim Low scoops it up. >> Como. OT >> almost to midfield and then his pass taken away on the run by Talon Crow or no I'm sorry that's Sawyer Como read it
well stepped in the passing lane and gets Rogers right back >> into the attacking end Nolan Seot sends it back. >> And they will patiently work it around the perimeter near side for
>> Max Brewers down low to Ike. >> Thought about the pass then said Psych >> and heads back behind the net. Seot up top. Cassidy into the middle. Clatt. >> Defense collapsed on him. He sends it
wide, but Ike is there to >> again get control for Rogers. The pass, >> broken up, but not controlled. Tried to >> kind of push it to to GML. He was unable
to scoop it up. It's >> a nice initial block I think by by Lere Olsen, >> but ultimately Rogers ends up back in possession. >> Max Brewers
>> down low. Ike a little head fake, takes a bump, jumps and scores. It's a six nothing lead for Rogers. >> Yeah, that was a pretty goal, too. He just made a nice move around the defense and then able to square himself up in front of the net and get a quick shot off. Easy goal for him. and all of a
sudden it's 6 nothing favor of Rogers. >> 203 to go in the first quarter. Rapids has had one good look, one good scoring opportunity. Rogers has converted six times and sent multiples wide.
But what do you do? What has to change? Pressure taking away time and space. Easier said than done. >> Battle off the draw won by Rogers's Gavin Huff. He gets into the front court. Gets it
over to Cot. Seot running it away from the pressure coming from Sawyer Jowski. >> Switch out some pieces. On the attacking end will the Royals Cassidy out front. Clatt behind the back
banked it off the iron. >> That was pretty. >> Unfortunately for him, he couldn't get in the net, but that was a pretty attempt for sure. >> Beat the keeper, >> but you can't beat the iron. >> True.
>> Another look at it. Good pass. >> Nice reception. And then Oh, it hit. It did hit the keeper. GMO. Good >> good positioning. You can't beat the keeper. Not when he's in position like that. >> I saw come all the way across and catch
the iron. But good save by GMO. >> And the Royals will >> set up on offense again. >> They've done such they're really disciplined. They do, like you mentioned, they do a really nice job of moving the ball around the perimeter and then looking for that shot and and they
can score down low and they they can score from out out front. >> Long run for Huff to behind the net. >> Gives it up. >> Cassidy from the top. His shot blocked
by Kaden Conler. SLPCR able to scoop and cats on the run the other way. >> Numbers back defensively, but that's going to be a foul against >> Rogers. And
SLPCR will have the opportunity. >> One of the keys for coach uh Wood was play disciplined defense and >> doesn't want to see penalties picked up in that situation. Kaden Conler from a long ways out. Misses wide as the buzzer sounds.
That'll end the first quarter. It was all Rogers. They score six times. They lead by a half dozen. You're watching Boys Lacrosse on CTN. As you know, CTN's on YouTube and we're on in a big way. We have thousands of

I got >> back at the Cardinal Stadium. It has felt quite homelike for the Rogers Royals as they have run rough shot on it. Coach Chris Tots. >> Yeah, they've done
>> Cat Birds so far. >> A couple of nice saves. >> Could this could be eight nothing at this point. Another >> faceoff infraction called against the Royals. It's the second and I think
possibly the only two faceoff wins for SLPCR. >> I you're correct. >> Blake Melum can't get around the corner. coughed it up, but Molen called for the >> thought he was called for the infraction, but Rogers ends up with the
ball. >> And just a couple of short runs and a couple of passes and they are back in the attacking end, creating troubles for the home team again. Strong pressure coming from Blake Melum.
>> Approaching from the angle for the shot was Cotti fired wide. They're there along the end line. I wonder I'd have to ask one of the >> hockey/ lacrosse players in this game. You can get away with a
lot of stick work that you absolutely do for sure. >> Oh, nice. Right. Right through the wickets. Five hole shot for Sawyer Como. >> Como >> his first. >> Seven nothing favor of Rogers less than
a minute into this second quarter. >> His fifth on the season. >> But I just I just wonder if if it uh takes a bit to to transition from one to the other and back. Well, I'm sure in the beginning of the season it does, but
>> once once you uh you start playing >> I'm also >> always confused by exactly >> what is legal slash and what is not >> because eventually they draw the line. You can whack away at them at certain
times and other times. No, that's too much. Gavin Huff scoops it up. Long pass ahead and >> good connection to Molen in the middle. He's got a little bit of room. Takes the long shot. Jlo says, "Thank you. I can see it from that far away. I'm going to
snake it every time." >> Right in the netting. >> And that pass just a little too far. See? And like that. It can you just straight body check him and just knock him off the ball?
because you don't see a lot of real hard bodyto body contact. There's a lot of stick work >> and you can use your body but don't know that you can just run guys over like it's the football field that
it is in the fall. >> Probably not. >> Jowski couldn't get around the corner. coughed it up. Royals back in position, back on the attack. Good stick by Kane Conler,
but not able to get it back. Getting in there to cause trouble as Breck Cassid's battling against four guys in white jerseys. Keeping it alive for for the Royals in their attacking end. Good scoop by Wyatt Lereck Olsen
and he takes some hacks but gets it out of the danger zone down the sideline. He stays on the attack after it gets knocked away from Leansky. He got it back momentarily. Did Lereen >> now in the scrum. A dangerous play by a
careless cat stick means Rogers gets possession and boy they waste no time going to the other end. A failed pass means a turnover. >> Jimmllo moves it ahead. >> That pass a little too tall for
this car Davis. >> First one there. Alton Larson and Rogers is running the other way again. >> He does a nice job of coming up upfield quickly. >> Oh, it's a great setup play. He just couldn't control the ball. >> Yeah, the passing has not been as crisp
for Royals early in the second quarter. We saw a lot of really good >> crisp passing at speed for Rogers in the first quarter. Helped them build the 6-0 lead that is now seven. But we also saw them
>> work within the the zone and set up for a good shot. Long shot there from Cassidy >> denied by GML. >> Yeah, JML did a really nice job of just getting in front of the ball >> again. He says, "Hey, let me see it."
>> I mean, just keep >> There it is. Get the job done. >> He's He's like >> He's way outfield. Cross midfield and cocked it up. And that's unfortunate. Long shot is going to miss. Seot is
there >> to get possession back for Rogers. >> Probably should have somebody in net. >> He just wants he just wants to get in the action. >> Well, and he wants to smartly is forcing
Rogers to to come in and defend him before he passes the ball. Maybe got a little too far away that time. get a little aggressive coming out after Seot that time, but the pass didn't click. Long shot misses wide for Gavin Huff.
>> Hey, I hats off to Brody Gem. He said, "Hey, >> yeah, >> if you guys can't get possession and clear my zone, I can do it myself." >> That's right. >> I'll take it downfield. >> See is shifty. Gets out front, misses wide. And he he had a he had some room
to get out a little closer in front. He just I think he released his shot too soon. Long pass through the middle. No one on the receiving end. >> Battle for the ball. >> And again, the Royals able to scoop it
up. Long throw ahead >> by the keeper Denino. >> That was a nice nice pass from Denino, too. Cassidy down low. Ike goes low and scores. His second of the game.
>> I like Ike. >> 8 nothing. >> Not quite midway through the second quarter. >> Yeah, just a nice nice look. Not much >> Demo can do on that one. just bounces it past him.
>> His second goal. >> Another faceoff win for the Royals. And quickly back into the attacking zone. Ringall into the middle. Quick shot and a goal for Greg Amenson. And I'm going to guess that's his first. >> I would assume so. I'll take a look and
see. But >> it's a pretty serious celebration for a goal that makes it nine nothing midway through the second quarter. >> That is definitely >> unless it is incredibly significant. It >> was nicely set up on that. That's his first.
>> Seeing the Royals get a little deeper. on their roster already here midway through the second quarter. Up nine nothing. >> He's been waiting a long time to celebrate that goal right here. He got a two weeks left of the regular season.
>> That was a pretty one, too. SLPCR's >> possessions have been few. They've been short-lived. >> They have for sure. >> Have really only led to one maybe two good scoring chances. One in particular
>> in that first quarter. But >> you're down big. You don't want to force things because because you want to take advantage of of every possession. Make sure it leads to a good opportunity. Toby Tranby
battling with Farnsworth to try and get out front. That's going to get you. >> Oh yeah, there's the flag. Pretty hard slash across the back on >> I leave a mark >> Larson.
>> And you go sit in the square of shame. >> Yes. Here. Oh. >> Yeah. But that's got him up high across the back of the head a little bit. >> Looked like the Spurs center from last night.
>> Little elbow to the jaw. Webinyama. >> Yep. >> Thor. >> Jacob Denino. Just a little guy. >> Yeah, that's what I was saying. He's not uh he's he's short in stature, but >> just a sophomore. He's played well in there.
>> Yes, he has. I have to >> go on. Al send Alton. >> So SLPCR down a player. and Rogers already up nine. >> Seot sends it down low behind the net is
Brewers. Ike fires, misses wide, but all black jerseys along that back line. They'll just set up and try again. See lot into the middle.
>> Oh, great good defense there. >> Had it knocked out of his stick just before he took the shot by Lre Olson. >> Yeah, that would that probably most likely would have been a goal. >> Cassidy creeping spins back up top. See lot and Cassy play catch up top.
>> Little fake pass and then the one-handed give back to Huff. >> It's a good stick to break up the pass by Vinnie Nerd Doll. Nerd Doll headed knocked free. Stays in the battle. Cassidy and Celot both there.
Seot secures it for Rogers on the run right side to Cassidy. Ran into some defenders. Steps back, shoots low, misses wide. >> And we we've seen them score a couple times out from out that far.
>> Como long shot misses wide. Brewers patrolling the end line. >> Exactly five minutes remaining >> in the first half. >> Six goals in the first quarter for Rogers. Three so far here in the second.
>> Work it up top. Cassidy had to resecure it. Brewers back down low up top. Long shot is blocked. Continuing to battle for it. Was
Cassidy, but SLPCR able to to win it out of the scrum. Sawyer Jolowski had it knocked free. Again, the Cappers really just can't get anything generated offensively. They just have no possession time down in the
Rogers end. And you know, Rogers makes them pay for that. from everybody by Wyatt Labra Olsson. Someone must have called time. >> Yeah, I have to be >> cuz they just didn't say, "Hey, let's go. Let's go over the sidelines to have a chat." You see the time remaining nine contest.
>> There you are, Joe. Always cleaning up. >> Making everything look nice. Take >> a lot of cleaning to make this one look good. And yet you are always making a mess. >> Always. It's not like it's the first time I've
seen it. I still find them amusing. >> I Well, I always find them amusing >> and I'm I'm shocked at their talent. >> Best in the business. >> They have fun. >> They do have fun. Toby Dram is still on a knee in the
penalty area. Thank you for following me. again. They they just do a really good job of of maintaining the position even with a missed shot like that. Makes it real hard to >> climb back in if you never have the ball.
>> Cassie, a little pump fake into the middle. Tried to drop a pass into Ike and Ike wasn't ready for it. Chemwell was >> fires it pretty much as far as away from himself as he can get it. And this time it might just work out as it was secured
by Leansky. Down low. An opportunity for Viscar Davis turned away by Denino again. >> Yeah, Denino's solid in nets. I mean, they haven't had a lot of shots to to stop, but when he when he has, he's he's come up big.
>> Couple absolute gems in tight. >> GML a nice stop on Seot in close. >> I thought that was going between the legs. >> Jumbo come coming up. So did >> Cot. Yeah. Brewer behind the net along the line. Chased by Joel Kowski,
>> dumping it out front. Ike able to put it home. >> Again, that's just a defensive lapse in front of the net for the Catbirds. And all of a sudden, now it's 10 nothing. That's his third goal. Got the hattick. Look at that save. That was just a
beautiful job just making sure that doesn't get by him. And then >> second best opportunity of the day for SLPCR in both times. Jacob Denino has been up to the T challenge. >> He certainly has. >> Jared Ike goal 68 and 10.
for the Rogers Royals this afternoon. >> 240 to go first half. Good pressure for Toby Tramby. Back out of the sin bin forces a turnover and looks to get it into the critical scoring area. The pass just behind
Viscara Davis >> and that'll turn it back over to the Royals. Denino says I'll go ahead and run it end to end. >> Keeper will get it all the way down and bounce the shot up over the net.
>> I love it. Oh boy. He would have been uh I don't know if he has any I don't think he has any goals. >> He has an assist though, but he doesn't have any goals. Solid shiftiness to get >> into a prime scoring spot, but then bounces it, sends it high and wide.
>> Royals stay in possession. Denino, >> saunters back to his own side of the field >> and not not in a hurry to get back to the net. >> No, he's he's hanging out with the other guys. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> He'll get back there if he needs to.
which is another kind of interesting concept with this lacrosse cuz those guys aren't able to play another >> foul against SLPCR as uh Kaden Conler.
Not sure how much contact he made, but the way he came across the body of the ball carrier. >> Oh yeah, he absolutely made contact. I I thought he might have gotten up over the top of Cassidy. It's certainly what
he was going for, but definitely got the head. That's the right call. And SLPCR will have to uh try and kill a >> player down again. Oh, nice save there. >> Was Brewer down low,
>> covered by Cassidy. Huff up top. Beautiful passing and firing it home is Sawyer Como. >> His second of this quarter, 11th of the night for the Royals. >> You see the time remaining in the in the
half. 53 seconds and it's been all Royals. Nice pass and Koma does a nice job of just stepping inside, getting a clear shot for himself and finding the back of the net. He's also part of the
>> heart over height brigade. >> Just not just going to say that. >> He flipped that between his legs. >> Yeah, with But did he do it with his hand? Is that legal? >> No. Did he do it with his hand? >> I think he did. I >> I don't know if that's legal. Is it?
Must if he did, it must be. But I thought if it is not legal, he got away with it. >> Yes. Correct. >> But uh in hockey, you can't touch it with your hand. >> No. >> This is not hockey. >> This is Well, definitely not hockey. It has aspects of hockey, but it's not
hockey. >> Most definitely not hockey. 20 seconds left in the half. >> Brett Cassidy just waiting. set up one last pass. >> One last play, a turnaround shot. Misses wide.
>> That'll do it. >> Three seconds left. >> Got an opportunity to bring it back in. >> No, he flipped it with his Yeah. Yeah. I don't I didn't think it's I don't think it's legal to use your hand. >> I don't think it is either.
>> They sweep it in on GML. He's able to cover it. No more getting across. It's an 11 nothing lead though for the Rogers Royals as we head to the half. You're watching Boys High School lacrosse live on CTN. Oh, hi. I'm TV's Howie Shapiro. And when

Royals 11 nothing as we get to the half and the Royals have had pretty much a monopoly on possession. >> And they have uh
>> put plenty of rubber past the keeper and into the net. >> Six in the first quarter, five more in the second. getting a lot of different guys involved. >> Couple of good opportunities like one per quarter for SLPCR, but uh sophomore
keeper Jacob Denino has come up with a couple of big saves from the for the Royals to keep the goose egg on the scoreboard for the home squad. >> Yeah, it's uh I know Chris Tout, head coach, you we talked about the difference in in uh
the lineup tonight. There were six players that originally were in the lineup that ended up not starting. And so all of a sudden, right before the the contest, you got to put in some additional guys. He thought there may be a couple, but didn't think uh he'd have six that were needed to be made changes.
So they will uh take take the uh the field and see what they can do about cutting into this 110 deficit. >> Can only get better. can only absolutely well could get worse, >> but the Cappers don't want to see that.
>> Starts right here. >> Well, faceoffs have have uh pretty much all gone in favor of the Rogers Royals. >> Huff just a a faceoff expert. does the face off and get off and they get set up in the offensive zone
and get the right pieces on the field and take their time and >> comes Brewers long run. Nobody challenging. Oh, he has he doesn't have the ball. That's >> got me beat me out. >> A great fake cuz he faked me out, too. I I I thought for sure he had it.
>> Yeah. I was like, why are they not challenging him? Cuz they were paying attention unlike us. left. >> Firing it home from out front is Brady Clatt. >> He has his second of the game and it's a
12 nothing lead. >> Goal number 12. Didn't take him too long to get that uh that scored here. >> No, they've scored in the first minute of each quarter. >> Yeah. Huff just wins a physical battle against Tyler Herszog. gets the ball, runs at
the net, fires wide out the end line, but Royals are there with a 12-goal lead. The clock keeps running. >> Yes, it does. >> Said that >> scooped up by Cassidy. He backs away and
>> resets the offense. Waits for the defense to come. And that's The luxury the Royals have had is time and space. >> Yes. >> And because they the campers have spent so much time defending, it's hard. It gets tiring and harder and harder to
take away that time and space, shorten up those gaps, put pressure on the ball, and force turnovers. But until you can do that, >> you end up playing in your defensive end a whole lot. >> Griffin.
>> Will GI >> is the new keeper for the Rogers Royals. >> Denino said, "Hey, I I made some great saves. I made at least one run and hand. Almost scored." >> He almost scored.
But I'd gladly step away >> and give Griffin an opportunity. >> The question is how many opportunities does he have to actually participate in the contest >> as most of the action has been 100
yardds away. >> We have a new keeper in for the Catirds as well. Preston Rush, >> number 37 now between the pipes. If you say so, I'll believe you. >> What will I >> Good defensive play there from Blake
Melum to force it free and scoop up the ball. Flipped over the head by Joel Kowski. And catching on the run is Viscara Davis. Pass down low. Didn't click. Trying to scoop, but flipping it up in the air is Brandt Bulo.
Cat Birds recover Ryan Leansski. >> Yeah, Cats love a tally here. >> Or there or anywhere really. >> Oh yeah. Oh, it's Dr. Seuss. >> Blake Melum gets around the right corner. Defensive
support comes and blocks the shot. Scooped back up by Toby Tramby. He fires and scores. It was deflected off someone out front, but it ends up in the back of the net. And the Catirds are shut out no more. >> They finally got on the board.
>> And as you as you said, uh, finally finally gets on the board. >> That's goal number 11 on the season for Toby. good kid. We were talking for the preview and you know we talk a bit about this talk a bit about hockey and the
differences and I said what you know what he said that he said this is his number one sport so what what is it about lacrosse that makes you like it more and so PCR is going to get a a penalty just a
>> a penalty that Jackson Rice did not need to >> there's another one But he said it he said it's scoring. He said I'm a defenseman and I don't get to score much in hockey, but >> here >> I I get to I get to score. >> Yes.
>> And I know he's got to love that. >> And those are, you know, frustration penalties and just like this is, >> you know, battling through a pick you could say, but that's you're going to get called each and every time.
And so two men short in the defensive box are >> the Catbirds. >> Makes a little more. It's difficult enough when you're behind by 11 goals >> that now you're you're too short.
>> Long shot 12 short. Number four on the game >> for Jared Ike. Tyler. >> That's the third time. Descar Davis looking for some room. Finds a little bit. Shoots low. It's
scooped up by Will Golly. >> Long run for Micah Cringen. >> Cring was thinking about the backand then he lost the handle and scooped up though. by Jared
>> Ike. >> Ike trying to work back out front. >> Ball bumped free and scooped up by Rash. >> Yeah, a little commotion in front of the net. Rush was able just to make sure he got it >> in his stick.
>> His nets right side >> pressure. >> He'll find himself a little bit more open room. Defensive double team comes. He works his way back down the sideline.
Ball knocked free by Max Holland. Flipped up in the air. >> Royals not able to scoop it. >> Eventually they do. And back to the other end goes Jackson Houseour. >> Ike's pass bounces away from Den. Denino
out there as a an attacker now. Oh no, that's not >> I thought it was one. >> Garrett Sturos >> again. The uh the Rose just taking their time setting up their offense. Healthy lead >> clock in their favor.
>> Yes, for sure. Gavin Huff >> Rumor on the right side, fires wide. Nike is there to make sure that Rogers maintains possession. >> Yeah, they've been doing a really good job of that all night is just making sure when the shot is missed, they do maintain possession.
I'm >> not sure if that one went off the post or >> I know it did not go in the net for Nolan Cot. >> Now SLPCR going the other way. his car. Davis taking some hacks from Bre Cassidy
and then his pass misses its intended target and that's going to be a turnover back to Rogers. >> Again, not a lot of opportunities. You saw that that goal. They had those opportunities and they made them count, but they're just uh so few and far between.
Bottom hand. Bottom >> hand up here. >> Ryan Nielsen on the run for Spring Lake Park. Rapids >> nearly picked up by Cassidy. >> Cassid's going to end up getting a penalty. Came around and whacked him
good. And then a little back and forth. And >> now we got flags going and see what the >> decisions are here. All this while the clock is running.
>> Little extracurricular activity was called. >> You can see kind of a little bit of a kick. >> Yeah, the the knee to the head when he was down is >> Yeah, that's cheap.
>> And you know, it's a Like any sport, emotions get going and you're playing with emotions and then it's a contact sport and >> things boil over. Tends to happen. >> Making sure all the referees get their
handkerchiefs back. There were >> several littered around the uh >> the cl the quarter may run out by the time they get this all settled. >> I think it very may >> well happen. We're under 15 down to the
final 10 seconds. Yeah. >> Still explaining the the decisions to the uh coaches as far as the penalties, but the buzzer sounds ending the third quarter. We'll take a break, be back with the fourth after this on CTN.

ready to start the fourth quarter. It's been pretty much all Rogers Royals up 13 to one. Little bit of a scuffle to end the third quarter. Ends up with a couple of guys in the box. And there you see Cassidy kind of trying to pick him up and then
that got him the penalty coming a little out of control with the with it. Obviously a little push back from Neielson and then they you get up and >> cheap shot. >> Cassidy a little bit of a knee to the head and cooler heads prevail. Those two are are
separated by nothing but some turf. >> Yep. >> In their separate little bad boy boxes. >> Bad boy boxes. You've been a bad boy. Go over there. >> Take a knee. >> That and that is what they do.
>> Yeah. >> Toby Tramby has the one lone goal for SLPCR. He has it up top into the middle. Turning and shooting wide was Kaden Conler. SLPCR in good position to maintain
possession. Well, that's what you got to do when you're on when you have as few possessions as the Catbirds have had. You got to make sure when you miss that shot, you retain possession. >> Another penalty upcoming for the Royals. That shot stopped up by
their new keeper, Willie And SLPCR will have an opportunity with the advantage. There you see it. >> Tough angled shadow. Willy makes the save. >> Golly Willie
>> except that it's one name. >> I know. >> It's okay. >> Most people watching would not know that. Phil, you said something. >> And I'm sure I've mispronounced it. That's why I've said it a couple of different ways.
>> W I L L E G A L L. >> Bully. >> Galet. >> It's French. >> And we got another penalty upcoming against the Rogers Royals.
>> And I, you know, referees do tend to, you know, lose patience, >> right? >> And and at times will Oh, that was right off the mask. >> Right in the face. >> It's using your head.
>> Um, you know, they'll >> lose patience and and start take taking especially one team in particular uh for penalties, >> right? I if
the type of contact they have been uh trying to discourage continues. >> Coach Chris Tot out to uh get an explanation of some sort team down big but has
at least one extra player for a little bit. Royals feeling pretty good. >> Well, they have to. They have to be >> up big. Not a piece of meat. >> And as strong as they are, they've got
some some younger guys that are doing some of their damage. Sawyer Como just a freshman, starting goalender, Jacob Denino, just a sophomore. >> Yeah, you know, for again defending uh conference champions, they they've got they've got some good players back to
defend it. Ike is a junior. Brewers is just a sophomore. >> Clatt just a sophomore. >> It's the guys doing a lot of the damage at the attacking end. >> They're going to be here two to three more years. It's >> a shot up high and a goal for Kaden
Conler. Conkler with a nice shot. And again, that's that's what happens when you get possession. You have that opportunity to get a nice goal just like that. Conqueror's 13th of the season. He just fired that past goalender.
Another faceoff win for Rogers. Just get to it first. Greg Amenson scoops it up. Takes it on the run. Gets it into the attacking end. >> And now sets up, goes face to face with Blake Melum. Dancing around but not able to find any room. Right side for Nolan
>> Cot. See pass a little bit behind Sturos. Did a nice job reaching back and securing it. Shot blocked right away. Back the other way goes Blake Melum. >> Melum had it taken away. >> That was a nice job taking that that
ball away. A little too much on it. That pass. down low. Conler goes back door and >> in too tight was Kyle Levansky. He wasn't able to really make the catch of the pass anyway, but he did step in the circle.
>> And that's an automatic turn. That that is >> that is why they call it a turnover. Under eight minutes to go. Long shot from >> Garrett Sturos was well over the net, but again, all black jerseys along that back line.
>> Maintain that possession. >> Oh, nice nice save there. >> Very big save for for Rashon. A good opportunity. >> Yeah, point for Celot. Maybe they should have caught Haley. See lot one of their leading scorers. So >> been more of a distributor this
afternoon. I >> think he's just got the one goal, but >> he does. >> He's got a couple few assists. >> He said it was what his 26th of the year. >> Melum knocked off it. Dad draws the whistle.
>> Bounce shot knocked away by Willie Golly. >> He comes back to him. He scoops it up quickly. Gets it ahead for Cassidy. >> Cassid's pass didn't quite click. with Atmar down low. SLPCR can't secure
it >> and Rogers will have it off the out of bounds. >> Six minutes remaining in the contest. A big hole for the Cat Birds to dig out of >> Cringen's shot knocked away by Rash.
Rebound rolled back to him so he can scoop it up and help else help SLPCR clear the zone. EMTT Lahi, >> one of the guys normally on the JV roster getting an opportunity with all
the missing pieces. And that's always good because you get those players that that opportunity that they may not see or at least as many minutes as they may they may see. >> Great pass down low and a huge save by
Rash on Sawyer Como right outside the circle. Yeah, just doing a good job of getting >> just crossing the way. >> Here goes Rash. >> Sees an opening. Cassidy bumps him off the ball.
>> Cassidy is going to be called for the infraction. Give the ball back to >> SPCR. help. >> Neielson looking for a way to get out front. >> Got the pass >> to Axel off. He shot wide.
>> SLPCR maintains possession. >> They do. >> Ryan Tout plays it out front. shot low for the goal for Justin Mid. >> They're winning the quarter
>> two to nothing. >> And again, >> that uh that might have been his first uh varsity goal. R >> I don't see him on the I don't see him on the on the score sheet. So that might
have been his first goal. >> Might have been might have's first goal. >> Yep. >> Might have as far as we know been the first point of the season for Ryan Tuck as well. >> Coach's son, just a sophomore.
again with guys missing from the roster as we get the later part of this season gives opportunities for younger guys that want to impress the coach, leave an impression before next season. >> Correct. Of
>> course, Ryan both has a a harder and easier time because obviously his coach is not going to forget who he is. But uh sometimes dads dads can be difficult coaches to to work for. >> No. No. Are you speaking from personal experience?
>> Let's call Aaron. See what he says. >> I may or may not have been harder on him than anyone else on the team >> cuz I knew I could get away with it. >> That's right. You could. >> If his parents complained, well, >> well, mom would have to complain. >> I would I would say I I would ignore
them. Yeah, if if it got to that point, yeah, I would I'd lose that argument, too. >> Yes, you would. >> Little bit better defensive effort too for SLPCR, although I I think part of it has to do with the JV pieces on the
field for Rogers. Uh but uh you know just putting a little more pressure on in the defensive end, not being quite as reactive. >> And again, we talk about it. Take away the time and space. It's what you need to do to force turnovers. It's much
easier to say it than it is to execute it. >> Yes, it is. >> Especially with a team like Rogers that has a number of guys that have shifty and crazy speed. Low shot scooped up. >> We're into the final minute of play.
>> Rogers looking for their third straight victory. >> Oh, they will get that. Atmar long run down the left side, spins back to the middle, shoots, misses wide and out the end line.
>> That should probably wrap it up. >> Just about. They got one more opportunity. 10 seconds to go. Sturos denied entry and knocked to the ground. Solid >> play there by Vinnie Nurd Doll >> and the buzzer sounds. So that's how PCR
two nothing in that uh final quarter at least. >> Yeah. No, they uh actually that that was their by far their best quarter. But as to your point, there were a lot of uh underassman JV players in the lineup for Rogers at the time because of the fact that they built up such a large lead.
Yeah, the Royals came out really and dominated especially the first half. >> They uh >> they're going to walk away with a relatively easy 13-3 win. The Cardinals or the Catbirds rather will fall to one
and eight on the season. That will do it for this edition of CTN Sports. Again, the final score. Oh, there's a look at what we have coming up for you on Friday. baseball against the Washurn Millers on Friday the 15th. Softball playoffs,
lacrosse playoffs in the very near future. But that's going to do it for this edition of CTN Sports. Again, the final score, Rogers 13, Rapids, Spring Lake Park 3. Want to thank everybody out there for joining us and continuing to support everything we do here at CTN. For the entire crew,
including Howie Shapiro, I'm Joe Young saying good night.
