going to try and score and she is in safety goal. Big knock touchdown record. [Applause] Hello everyone and welcome to Spring
Lake Park High School for CTN's coverage of the section 7 boys lacrosse playoffs as the number eight seated SLPCR squad host the stealth from Hermantown Proctor. Joe Young, how Shapiro up above the action and Howie cool to see both
SLPCR lacrosse squads earning home playoff games to start. Yeah, the girls were victorious in in the first game. They won 85 over Duth Marshall. And uh now the boys get an opportunity to see if they can advance to also play the number one team, the Andover Huskies.
That that's who the winner will play in the next round. And similar story as well that the visitors although the lower seed have a little bit better record at 8 and five coming in, but SLPCR is coming in hot.
Best they've played all season. They are seven and six. They've won their last four to end the regular season uh with that uh winning record and and three of those four games in the in the conference which was huge for this team
at the end of the year. Yeah, obviously a little different uh little different game between how the boys play and the girls play. Little more contact obviously. [Applause] [Music]
Opening possession for the Stealth and they are taking their time feeling out the defense. Kyle Lavali up top staying away from the poke of the long stick. Midi Asher
O Parker Schwart work his way all the way back up top. Reset it for Rowan Cass. Cass runs in. His shot denied by Scramstead. A scramble for the rebound. Still loose.
[Music] Stealth a couple of opportunities to scoop but nobody could secure. Eventually someone put their cross over the top of the ball and that's a no no. You know, we saw good defense, you know, some defense in that first game and I think that's going to
be a key here tonight as well. Pass doesn't click. Gets in on the goalender and Cats Merrick will quickly send it back to midfield. Lamari Brown strong on
the body trying to win the battle for the ball but whistle blows. Parker Schwart awarded possession for the Stealth. And I think you'll likely see some feeling out from
both teams early on. Oh yeah, absolutely will. Little bit of nerves. Obviously, anytime you get to the playoffs, it doesn't matter whether it's an eight versus a nine or a one versus an eight, there's going to be nerves on both sides. Yeah. And these team two teams obviously
not familiar with each other. [Applause] Kaden Conler looking for room on the right side waiting for reinforcements to populate the field. Brock Luick down the right side. Here
comes Conkler. Got a step down to Luick. A tough angle shot, but the save by Cats Merrick. Cats Merrick just a sophomore, but a nice save there. Just a good job there to make sure he denied Luick.
Cats Merrick lost it. Scooped up by Tranby. Tried to hand it off to Herszog and that pass got away from him. Quinn Andrews able to secure control for the stealth as the SLPCR squad tried to jump on a mistake
by Hermantown Proctor but unable to capitalize. Yeah, that was a great opportunity to get a quick goal. Swart up top trailed by Josiah. Rob will hand it off for James Daly. [Music]
He gives it to Lvali who's fresh on the field. Lvali trying to find room against Melum. Not able to do so. Full reset back up to uh Daly up top. Daly can't find a hole on the left side. Lost the
ball and trying to stay in possession. Tranby bumped off of it as he gained control or O rather bumped off as he gained control. Kale Smith down low. Oh, a shot in close and a goal for Mason Nordberg.
Yeah. So, the the uh Hermantown team going to score first. Hermantown Proctor and it's great feed from Kale Smith. Put it to his teammate right on the doorstep. He turns and scores. Yeah, good look
inside. It's Nordberg's fourth goal of the season. SLPCR off the draw able to gain possession and this is first opportunity really to set up in the offensive end. They had it down here momentarily but
unable to to really get the opportunity to set their offense. And we'll see if they have a response after giving up the game's first goal. Kaden Conler high on the near side. Leansky attacking from high on the
left side into the middle. A chance for Danny Quist. Denied by Cats Merrick. Yeah, Quist didn't get a lot on it. It was a relatively easy save for Katz Merrick. This one swept out of bounds by the home squad. Herman Proctor.
Hermantown Proctor will get the uh opening possession. It's Kale Smith. Number nine for Hermantown Proctor. Number nine. Number nine. Did you know that Hermantown is the hometown of one Joel Sipper? Yes. And
he's a huge fan of number nine. Of number nine. [Applause] [Music] [Music] opportunity quickly at the other end for
SLPCR and it's converted in close. Is that Trani? No. No. Oh, that is Jack Pson the freshman. eighth grader. Sorry. He has been a very strong addition for this team. 17th goal
this season. He's got 37 points. Yeah. Very solid for that young man. Yep. So, the lead didn't last long. Well, you know, in this contest, I I I think it's you'll probably see similar to what you saw in that first game for
the most part. Back and forth between these eight and nine seed. Great little play from Herszog. Flipped it up over the defender and caught it himself. Person on the left side will retreat. Find himself a little bit of safe space.
[Music] Danny Quist room to run down low. Quick shot for Brock Luick is denied and second chance by Tranby. Skips wide and goes out the end line and Herszog is down there. So it'll be SLPCR ball.
Yeah, really great uh great shot. Great save by Cas Merrick as he's able to get a piece of it on that first initial attempt. Conkler denied entry. Gives it back up to Quist up top. Person cuts to the middle. He's nets his
second of the game. White and the youngest man on the team is starting strong. Did a really nice job again. You know, he's just got that quickness. Has that quickness that he was able to use to gain a little space in front of the net. And then a quick
shot for the goal. You can see him get get around. Nice job of protecting. And then a quick shot. Two eighth graders, five ninth graders on the roster for SLPCR, but he has been the most
noticeable among them. Well, and you have to love that for the for the future of this program for all the youth on it. Couple of bodies hit the turf. The whistle goes in favor of the home team. Some of the fans in front of us
disagree. But hey, that's a I think you got the call back cuz Mason Nordberg had a handful of jersey and yet the whistle goes in their favor. Huge stop for Scramstead stopping Nor being in close. I thought he had a
little face mask as well. [Applause] Scramstead able to scoop that one up. Fires it downfield. Sawyer Jolcowski moves it along to Pson. Then that pass
to Conler didn't click. That's okay. Trani there to secure it behind the net. Trani staying away from Trip Lustig near side. [Applause]
Blake Melum circles behind trying to get it out front to Herszog. He's well defended. Stealth able to get control. Finley Radzik had it knocked away from him. [Music]
SLPCR keeping it in the offensive end. Just about five minutes left in the opening quarter. 2-1 lead for the home team. A couple of goals from eighth grader Jack Pson after Hermantown Proctor scored the opening tally. Oh, great feed. Just
couldn't control it. Pressure all over in the offensive end. Forces another turnover. SLPCR has it back. Nordby sends it behind. Danny Quist looking for room. Passes out front. Herszog denied. Sweeping at the
rebound, but Cat Merrick able to scoop it up. Cats Merrick was able to get enough on it. I thought that was going to be a goal. Hershog did a really nice job of charging the net. Cats Merrick long run passes ad for Kale
Smith. Smith a little stutter step trying to find a way around the corner on Lamari Brown. Parker Swart back up top switches with Lvali. the valley back
to middle. His shot stopped up and held by the keeper Tommy Scramstead. Scramstead a four-year starter. Another look at that Herszog chance. Hit the post. Tried to scoop it between the legs and unable to do so.
[Music] Kerszog second on the team in points, 51 coming into the contest. Yeah, Tranby leading with 55 and they're both tied with 42 goals to lead the team. It's impressive. Trani will be back.
Kerszog will be one of the biggest losses for this squad. Tommy Scramstead, as I was just about to say, four-year starter for the team. He'll be playing college lacrosse in Ithaca, New York next season. And yeah, he will be he
will be tough to replace to be sure. Huge stop in close. As I'm talking about him, he denies Nordberg from about 5t away. Yeah, a great pass downfield as well. [Music] 233 to go
in the first [Applause] quarter. Winner will go to Andover to face the number one seed Huskies on Thursday night. Tranby able to steal it away from Casmmer again and this time
he's able to bounce it home and take advantage of the goalie getting a little sloppy with it outside of his circle. We we've seen that a couple of times here in this first quarter by their goalenders and just a little sloppy turning the ball over, but just a beautiful play by Tranby to make
something happen. And once he gets an opportunity in front of the net, it's pretty guaranteed as a goal. His 43rd of the season. Three unanswered now for the home team
after Proctor Hermantown had to open the [Applause] scoring win the draw right back on the attack. That one a little bit behind Asher
O and the stealth able to get the steel. Quinn Andrews trying to get away from the pressure of Oath down the sidelines forced out of bounds and good defense won't allow him to escape their defensive end. Force him to turn it over
again. Here's Pson already off to a fantastic start. Two goals in this opening quarter. Take up position behind the net. Try and run out front. Fires from a tough angle. misses and out of bounds,
but SLPCR there to make sure that they keep possession. Tran beyond the backside. Well, again, he gets himself in such good position to take opportunities, take shots at the net. Conqueror from a long ways out finds some room down the right wing. Fires
high and that one is like on its way to what's the next city. Yep. That is exactly up the bus going to Fidley. That one might have gotten outside of the outside of the fence out into the
street. That's over there. That one was definitely moving. Here's Conkler again attacking from up top. Long shot denied by Casmmer. He's been busy this opening quarter. He He really has. He's had his hands full so far.
Fires it out near midfield. It's touched momentarily by Sport. Loose ball controlled by Cass. And Cass on the run down the left wing for Hermantown Proctor. Cass trying to find a little bit of
room. He does and he leaves it for Parker Schwart. Swart dealing with the defense of Josiah Rob. Plays it behind the net and around to the far side. Kale Smith. Smith working against Brown. Got a pick. Got a
good angle to shoot but denied again by Tommy Scramstead. Slipping and falling that wet midfield. But uh good strong body control by Blake Melum. Battles it off. Scooped up by Lamari Brown. Brown down
low. Herszog turns and scores. And it's four to one with 10 seconds to go in the first period. Well, that was just a beautiful pass to find Herszog all alone and out in front and Herszog didn't waste any time. Immediately lets go of
that shot for the goal. see it again. Just a beautiful pass right into the cross and he just fired. So that' be his 43rd goal not to uh let Toby Tramby out do him. The one game
that we did earlier this season against Forest Lake. Very impressed with what Lamari Brown brings to the team. nicknamed him the transporter because he's the one they they relied on to go from one end to the other.
He's gotten onto the score sheet a fair amount of times this season as well. He's on the score sheet now with an assist late in this first quarter and they will go to the first break up by a 4 to one score. The Stealth start the scoring but
the Catbirds roar back with four straight. They're up 4-1 as we go to the second on CTF. [Music] [Music] [Applause]
[Music] The umbrellas are out at Spring Lake Park High School. It's win or go home as the section 7 tournament has begun. The number eight seated SLPCR squad hosting
number nine from Hermantown Proctor. The Stealth getting the first goal of that contest on a goal from Mason Nordberg in close but then four unanswered for the home team and they have really uh stolen the momentum and
have been dictating the tempo uh through that first 12 minutes of play. Well, we talked about how, you know, both teams, girls and boys, getting home home playoff game, which is great, and they want to entertain their fans, and they want to win and go on.
So far, early on, as the Cat Birds doing a good job controlling this uh this contest, they'd love to be the the number one or two seed and have home game or two in the playoffs. But, you know, at the same time, I was talking to AD Willackman before the game. I
said, you know, it is the eight versus the nine, but it's better than being the seven seed. Yes. And being on the road. Absolutely. Opportunity to play at home one last time. Girls will be at Chasago Lakes on
Thursday. Is a chance and a goal and close. Quick turnaround shot for Daniel Vizcara Davis. Makes it five to one. And that's his first goal in the season. Wasted no time. Catch and shoot.
Yeah, just really nice play and just quick movement. Came right up to Quist. Quist immediately got it back to Vizcara Davis. Catch and shoot. Five to one. Just 45 seconds into this second quarter.
So to finish the thought, the girls will be at Andover to take on number one seated Huskies in section 7 quarterfinal action on Thursday. The boys hoping that they are Oh, I'm sorry. Girls are boys are hoping they will be at Andover
taking on the number one Huskys on Thursday in the section 7 quarterfinals. There you go. Will be at the number one seated Chicago Lakes Wildcats in tight. Another point blank save for Tommy
Scramstead and his team doing a nice job offensively, but he has come up with a couple of huge saves in close early on. Herszog back to Pson right side. I'm sorry, that's Jackson Rice. He's able to scoop it back up. Long shot and the save
by Casmic. [Applause] That's Merrick quickly to the other end. That's how you defend the sideline. Kamari Brown. Absolutely. Get out of bounds. Ben forced him to take a timeout. So they're going to take an early
timeout here in this second quarter. Coach Chris Todd believe he's been with the program since the the co-op began after after co he's taken over as a head coach the last couple of seasons.
[Music] I believe he I'm trying to remember his son I think is like eighth grade. So his his son will be part of this team in the in the upcoming years. [Music] Rain has become a little steadier here
as we've gotten deeper into this contest. Let's go. As you mentioned, umbrellas everywhere. Keep trying to keep people dry here tonight. Rowan Cass will bring it back in after the timeout.
Spins to the middle. His pass didn't have a lot on it. Intercepted easily by Jack Smolich. Smolich long run down the other side. Long shot. He'll scoop it back up.
Love it when the long long stick midies get into the offensive action. Yeah, both teams making a little changes on the fly here. Long pass ahead accepted by Mason Nordberg. Nordberg working down that left side
trying to get around drive Zia Rob Rob not giving up anything. Go back up top with it now is Kale Smith. Yeah, Stealth could use a goal. Five unanswered for the Cats.
I think just the one really it was a really good opportunity but one shot on goal here in this second quarter and it was denied by Scramstead and again he's got three or four outstanding saves already. He's played solid in this contest. He's been solid in that giving his team the opportunity
to uh build that lead into the middle and everything stopped up by the body contact from Lamari Brown the transporter and the enforcer. There he goes. More body play. Denied. A
chance in close. Misses wide and they'll talk about it and it will be Hermantown Proctor ball. Get number 45. Yeah, he's just he's all over the place. He's just uh throwing his weight
around. I'm not getting in there. Kyle Lvali up top for the stealth. Little stutter step. Goes to his right. A shot denied by Scramstead. Long rebound tracked down by Daly in the corner. He's pressured all the way over there by Blake Melum. Ends up out of
bounds. It'll be SLPCR ball again. You see shot coming through and Scramstead gets a piece of it. Scramstead ahead for Conkler. Kaden Conler getting the defender on the
run, working his way behind Radzik. Gets a nice shot off, denied by Cats Merrick. Both goalenders have come up with some big saves. Yeah, that was a big stop by Casly doesn't want his team falling behind more than by the four already.
[Music] Martin Sleen, you heard me right. Martin Sleen. [Music] So close. High pass. James Dailyaly knocks it down and then able to scoop it back up.
Long shot stopped up by Scramstead. He's able to make another save. Yeah, he's been solid. You're not getting the I don't know the SE Martin Sheen. Oh, I I got that. I I I got that after, but I didn't know. I didn't know it. Well, it took a while. If it takes longer than than three, four minutes to figure it
out. It really doesn't move on to the next one. Sleen Sheen. One letter difference. I get it. If his brother Charlie shows up then Charlie Sleen or Selene Deion
now you're going that you just took a left turn from. Are you surprised? I usually take left turns. I just go in circles. This one doesn't click. Ends up out of bounds right in front of the SLPCR bench.
Been stuck at the 5-1 score for a while now. SLPCR scored 45 seconds into this second quarter. Since then, both goalenders have come up with a couple of big saves. They have. Neither team able
to uh extend or cut into the lead. Kaden Conler off the whistle trots into the top of the circle right side. That pass not secured. [Applause]
Back the other way come the stealth. Quinn Andrews sets up on the sidelines. Back for Parker Schwart. Swart not finding room against Rob.
Rob has done a nice job. keeping him to the outside. A chance inside and a denial again for Scramstead. They were able to get James Daly an opportunity in tight, but Scramstead shut him down.
Skipped away from Brown, but he's able to catch it on the bounce and get back into the offensive side of the field. Brock Luick. He's a pretty good goalender on the ice. He very good goalender on the ice.
Tries to flex his offensive flare here on the field. However, pass was way too high for everybody. Skips past Brown. Rob scoops it up. But like a backcourt violation, that is
a turnover. That is a turnover. I like it. I like it. I like it. [Music] pushed up towards the top of the square. Force back to the side. He'll give it up to Rowan Cass. Cass stutter step goes to his
right takes the shot low and denied by Scramstead. A fortunate thing, the one fortunate thing for the Stealth is that the the Kappers haven't scored. Chance for Herszog and he buries it. you were saying. Well, I was say until
and then until now, you know, again, the longer that went without getting a goal, the better chance they had coming back, but now just another goal increases the lead to five and good passing down into defensive end. Herszog had some time and space in tight
little shimmy froze the keeper and buries it. Pson getting the assist and it's a 6-1 lead. Jack Pson a couple of goals and now an assist. That was goal number two this this afternoon this
evening for Brody Herszog. [Music] Long pass. Martin Sleeve finds a seam. Fires it high. And good hustle from Scramstead to maintain possession for the Catbirds.
Martin Fle finds a seam. I like it. Well, that's why I do it. What a pass in tight. And Conler is not going to waste that opportunity. Conchler getting his first and it's a 7-1 lead.
Just 30 seconds, 29 even between those two goals. Yeah. And that's his uh that's his 27th goal on the season. Just beautiful again. Beautiful passing. Really nice job setting up offense. Yeah. And he's
moving left to right. Katz Merrick who had moved to his right to to defend the pass going back the other way. He really had no chance. Good pass. Good look from Quist. And and a great chance job by Conler to catch it
on the move and then be able to bury it. Well, they're they're playing they're playing so well. Um, offensively they're playing really well and they're taking advantages of those opportunities that the Stealth are giving them. Apparently, they're doing a senior
night. They did not get a chance to do their senior night. It was uh weather weather called off and they're doing a little senior night here at the uh at the first section game. Seven unanswered goals for the home squad, but cannot take the foot off the gas
now. Want to make sure they finish it. Punch their ticket to Thursday's quarterfinal route. [Music] on the face off. Herszog able to win the battle, come away with it, get it over to Kaden Conler who will
slow things down. And again, with a six goal lead at this point, you you can afford to slow things down, work the ball around the perimeter, find that opportunity, and get that good look on net. Person back up top. Quist. And now Tranby right side. Wanted to go across.
thought about his shot. Now sends it inside. Quick turning chance, but Herszog denied the hattick. And again, good positioning for Conler. Maintains possession. Here's Pson with it. Cats Merrick did a really nice job
getting it a stick on it. person fakes, moves to the middle, shot way high. Conqueror all alone behind the net. But again, they're giving they're giving themselves looks good looks at the net. Well, and as long as you
keep getting possessions, keep getting opportunities, this one could get ugly. Pson fires another one just over the crossbar. [Applause] Conler will just scoop up another
ball and get it to Trani. And away we go. Trani shoots low. Cats Merrick with the save this time. Waits for some traffic to clear. Little room to run. Now pressured. Gives it up.
Wood Christianson was pressured and coughed it up but then a foul called Lamari Brown able to get a steal and scrams it. He does a nice job. He'll fire it ahead quickly. He does a nice job getting the
ball up field. Very accurate. Blake Melum battling against Graph Melon. Melum against Melon and the whistle sounds. The trumpets call Park and a timeout. Another timeout.
[Music] 130 to go in the first half. And after Hermantown Proctor opened the scoring, it has been all Spring Lake Park Rapids. Yeah, they've uh they've dominated this first half for sure.
Next we have student. So if you're Hermantown Proctor though, you have to find a way to generate some offense to get some time in the offensive end and you have to capitalize essentially at this point. Although
again, a lot of lot of time left and obviously you can put up big numbers in in lacrosse. Uh but you have to look at it if you're Hermantown Proctor as starting to get to a point where you
need to show a little desperation and any shot is a good shot. Well, yeah, you just you need opportunities and they're not getting any and you know, give give the uh Gapirds credit for what they're doing. And Scramstead has again made a couple really high-end saves.
Yep. When they have had their opportunities, but as time ticks down towards the half and you are trailing by seven or six seven to one, desperation has to come calling. Well, yeah, you just want some something
to go your way. I mean, you have to cut into this lead. You don't you certainly don't want to give up any more goals before the break, but you'd like to at least get a little bit of something on your side. Brock Luick hits full speed as he gets behind
net. Little stutter step to freeze Finley Radzik. And now Jack Pson up top. Conler. Now Quist Quist can't find a seam. Sends it behind Luick out front. Crashing in for the
goal is Brody Herszog. He's got his third. And again, just the passing out, the passing from behind the net out front. And you know, Herszog does a really nice job of just using his quickness to get to the ball and then a quick shot, quick release.
Gives them an 8-1 lead with under a minute remaining in the half. I mean, just look at the pass from behind the net. Perfect. And Herszog doesn't miss in close. Makes it an 8-1 cat lead with just under
a minute to go in the first half. [Music] Herszog able to win another draw. We'll see if SLPCR can set up and generate at least one more good scoring chance. They would love to be able to do that.
Timeout call. [Music] Coach Taught wants to uh do some teaching. Set up this last opportunity. You want to make sure
you generate at least one good scoring chance and see if you can't add to that lead before going to the half. Not what we expected as we started. No,
but exactly what SLPCR was hoping for as they have been downright dominant for most of this first half, having scored eight unanswered and in a great position as we head towards half. 45 seconds to go.
They have an 8-1 lead and possession. A lot of smiles on the home team sideline. Yeah, you even though it's raining, it's everybody's happy because when you're on that home side and your team is up 8 to one with with 45 seconds remaining in the first half, you have to feel pretty
good. [Music] Cheers. Cheers. Quist long run from the right side down and around behind. See the time ticking down to the
final 30 seconds. Jack Pson trying to find a room some room. Spins spins back to his right. No sail. That pass is denied but still loose. Lick kicking at it. Tranby can't scoop.
Whistle sound. 17.9 left on the clock. Ball awarded to Hermantown Proctor. And the stealth hoping for one more chance. Long shot. Easy save for Scramstead.
They call another timeout. Nope. I'm not sure what this whistle's for with 7.9 seconds to go in the half, but Brock Luick heading to the sideline along with looked like Sawyer Joelsky was
headed that way as well. Looks like there's a Oh, now the buzzer sounds and we go to the half. SLPCR eight unanswered goals. They are in complete control. We'll be back with the second half of this section 7 first
round contest after this on CTN. [Music]
Did you know that a player will jump an average of 300 times per game of volleyball? Wow. And I think jumping up to go to the fridge is hard. The fastest volleyball serve was over 83 mph. Yikes. If that serve were coming at me, they
could have the point. I like my hands. They're dainty. Huh. [Music] Back at Spring Lake Park High School, the Spring Lake Park Rapids squad an 81
lead at the half of this section 7 first round contest. Hermantown Proctor started the scoring. A goal by Mason Nordberg just under four minutes in and then it was an onslaught from the home
squad. Jack person scored the first two for SLPCR. Toby Tramby got a steal and a goal to keep it going. And then Jordy Kersaw got started. He had
three of the eight unanswered. Good quick turn and score there for Viscara Davis. Another for Brody Herszog. [Music] Oh man. And Kane Cockler getting in there as well. But yeah, everything
working for SLPCR. You know, Tommy Scramstead didn't make the highlights. He should have. He made some nice saves in that first half, but he but he should have. He had several top-notch saves in the first
half. winner moves on to Andover on Thursday quarterfinals against number one seed Huskies. Neither team able to gain possession securely to start this third quarter. Well, on the uh the Stealth have the
work cut out for them because they're trailing by seven and and they they really don't have any momentum going at all. They don't have anything going offensively outside of that very first goal to start this contest. Well, and again, they did get some looks that led to great saves by Scramstead, but to his
credit, once he made the save, that ball was at midfield seconds later. Yep. He secured it. Did not give up second chance opportunities. And when they have had looks, to their credit, the stealth, they have hit the net. So they have not
had those shots that whizzed by high and they were able to maintain possession. They haven't had a lot of those types of offensive possession. A shot in Scrapstead makes the save and keeps it in his cross. Yeah, again he's definitely playing he's on his game in
in terms of his play between the pipes. And there's a reason he will play lacrosse at the college level next year in Ithaca, New York. [Music] Quality keeper to be
certain. Hermantown Proctor back on the attack down low. Parker Schwarz gives it back up for Rowan Cass. And now at the top is Martin Sleen. Long
shot. Sorry, that was Kale Smith up top. Long shot again. Secured by Scramstead. And just like that, they're back at midfield. Into the attacking end, Jack Pson
just running for some open space. I think he's waiting for some of his guys to come in and set something up. Just trying to find a little bit of room to breathe, allow those changes to happen. Good pressure from Finley Radzik.
[Music] We're going to see I think our first penalty of the game. the cross check. That looked like a pretty significant cross check, but that's not the one that was No, it called. It wasn't called that wasn't the player was even called it. I
love this game. Like you can get away with so much, but then at some point the ref just says, "That one I'm going to call." So SLPCR with the advantage working it around the offensive zone. Ken Conler in tight. Gets me a good
save. Pson scoops it up behind Conler again looking for room from the left side. Leanssky up top left side. Tranby low shot missed wide went right between the legs of Jack person.
Pson like every normal human being that is not a goalkeeper. Made sure to keep it get his legs out of the way. Yes. You don't want you don't want to get the you don't want to get hit with that. Well, and the goalkeepers I mean goalkeepers in all sports are just a little bit
different. Right. Right. goalkeepers and catchers. And when you get to lacrosse, these guys, they don't even really wear pads, but they're out there stopping a a ball that I mean, yeah, it's not a rock. It's quote unquote air quotes a rubber
ball. It does bounce. Yeah. But if that thing's coming at you, it's pretty hard. And if it's coming with speed, it's you're going to feel it. It's going to leave a mark. You got to be tough. You got to be tough. You have to be tough, right?
Right. I think so. Right. Yeah. It's got to be tough. Got to be tough. [Applause] Coming up on four minutes into this third quarter. No score yet.
SLPCR scored four unanswered after Proctor Hermantown opened the scoring in the first quarter. Then they had all four of the goals in the second quarter so far here.
Pretty good save for Casmic at this end. A pretty good save for Scramstead at the other. A lot of posturing from both squads at the other ends and we're going to see another penalty. Yeah. And it's going to go
against Hermantown Proctor again. Again, we did not see a single penalty in the first half. It's going to be the hold for that.
stick check right there. Get it around the guy and trying to control his body. That's a no. No. And again, sometimes the ref says you've gone too far. Sometimes not so much. Sometimes
the ref says, "Okay, have fun." SLPCR resetting the offense again with the advantage down low. Herszog in tight. Bounced it off the post looking for his fourth of the contest. Raph
Melon trying to find some room. Gets away from Pson down the right sideline. gets to full speed as he crosses midfield into the attacking end. He sets up with Schwart. Back down low they go.
Werberg's pass out of the reach of Cass and that's going to get out of bounds and it'll be a turnover back to SLPCR. Yeah, just a good look inside but he hit that. Got it. guy went behind the keeper off the far post. Y
he's had a couple of posts that he's hit as well as his three goals and I think Kale Smith just got whacked by his own teammate Swart battling for the ball near midfield. We've got a another flag on the
[Music] field. Couple of nice moves. I guess it he didn't really get whacked. He just got jked out of his shorts. Yeah. Ran the two defenders into each other. Toby Tramby near side for SLPCR behind
for Jack Pson. Tranby. Long shot saved by Katz Merrick and he's able to hold on. Give his team time to clear. Kale Smith. Setting it up up top. Whacked at by
Lamari Brown. SLPCR went through a little bit of a of a scoring drought. They were at 5-1 for a while until they were able to increase the lead now to 8 to one. But again, Hermantown Proctor just trying to look for any opportunities to score a goal
cuz they uh still plenty of time, however, but they need uh they need some points. Well, this is the longest they've been without a goal SLPCR in the contest so far today. [Music]
Big hit from Lamari Brown and flag comes out and I think this one is going to go against the home team. I think you were correct again. It's okay to hit him. Ah, it's not quite okay to hit him that
hard. And up high too a little bit there. You see the laundry on the field. No arguments from young Mr. Brown. He just no headed for the the bad boy box. And he took an E.
Oh, there it is. You go over there, take a knee. Think about what you've done in the bad boy box. Long shot misses wide out the end line, but Smith the only one behind the net.
Sorry, that's Mason Nordberg behind the net. Smith was the one who took the shot. James Daly up top. Opportunity for Rowan Cass and Scramstick got a piece of that and then it ends up out the end line.
Couple of three chances in a row for Hermantown Proctor, but Scramstead a save. Long pass over the head of Sawyer Jolowski, but he collects. Gets into the front offensive end. His pass kicked
away now. Battle continues with it on the ground. Finally scooped up by Kale Smith. Smith. Long run to get away from the pressure. Take it right down low. The
pass to the near side for Nordberg. I'm not sure if he was trying to pass to the back door or was trying to shoot and just didn't get what he wanted on it. It's out the far side. Possession
maintained by Hermantown Proctor though. Would you I just but indicate is probably a shot. Good defense there. Poking it free. Sawyer Joelowski. That one nearly was passed back into the net as Scramstead had gone behind.
Herszog down the near wing trying to get around Cass. Gives it to Tranby back up top. Too tall. Scooped up by Vicara Davis. [Music] Good passing all the way around. That pass a little too high. Little too high
off the cross of Toby Tramian out of bounds right in front of the Hermantown Proctor bench. Again, good job moving that that ball around the perimeter and but just a bit too much on
that as Neil Hennon would say. Little too much mustard. Lassar just lost it. It flipped out of his cross and that leads to a great chance and a goal. Toby Tramby on the feed from Brody Hersza. Yeah, Tani's not going to miss that in
close like that particular shot. And again, the passing is what set it up. Couple of quick passes and you got Tranby all alone and he's going to make them pay. Nine to one now in favor of SLPCR. Again, Herszog to Tranby and
He's not going to miss. Well, and it all started again with Lassard went to pass it and he lost it out the back of his cross. He didn't even immediately recognized that he had lost the ball. It was scooped up, I think, by Pson who got it to Herzog who got it to Tranby who
scored his second of the game and made it an eight-goal lead. Yep. Another win off the draw. Herszog in some traffic. Sends it back to Scramstead. Good passing to move it
ahead to Julowski. Long shot. Kesmik saves and holds. 244 to go in quarter number three. Just a a little one. A 30 second. Yep.
Hold this time for Graph Melon. [Music] pass into the middle. Didn't click but quick shot. I don't know if it was deflected or if he Yeah, he just he just missed. I was going to say cuz he was right there. And
actually SOPCR I think got away with that. I thought that uh the goalender Kez Merrick got back there and should have been closest to uh secure possession because there was nobody back there immediately on the shot. It wasn't
really expected. Personal fake steps inside his shot high and that one clearly out and they're in good position this time. 205 to
go in this third quarter. Conler way out front, spinning shot, misses, and persons there to make sure they maintain control. Leansky pressured by Sleen. Sleen is driving it.
That's I don't know if Sleen plays a a line position in football, but he sure he sure that's how you block right there. That is definitely how you block. That is correct. You keep it you keep it uh correct and this really nice job causing the turnover. Martin Sleen
trying to avoid the apocalypse. Oh, now moves the ball. He'll have to go over to the west wing for that. Now we're now we're on board with the buns. Yep. Again. Had to explain it to you. No, it
was just not that good. That's why. Chance in tight and finally breaking the seal as James Dailyy ends the ninegoal run for the home team. number four late in this third quarter and again that's that's exactly what the
Stealth needed uh you know we still were a minute eight into this uh left in this third quarter but they needed something to happen and they get the goal to cut the lead back to seven that's Dy's 17th goal on the [Music]
I mean, Hermantown Proctor not out of this yet, but they need pretty much everything to go their way the rest of the way. and without another before the end of the third would be huge, but instead they're going to get another penalty. Tranby battling for it in the corner.
Had his stick slashed away from him. [Music] Worthington called for the hit on Herszog. 48 seconds left in the third quarter. Trani behind for person. Leansky long shot misses.
SOPCR in good position. person's pass denied. He scooped it back up. Turnaround chance for Herszog didn't have the angle he needed. Ends up out the near sideline. 18 seconds left.
Tran Leanssky up top. Conleransky down to five seconds and they're going to let the time run out and they will go to the fourth quarter with a sevengoal lead. Just one aside in the third
quarter. We'll see if SLPCR can hold on and advance to the quarterfinal round. You're watching section 7 boys lacrosse playoffs on CTF. [Music] into the end zone. Touchdown Rapids.
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] Back at Spring Lake Park High School section 7 boys lacrosse tournament.
First round action between number eight seated Spring Lake Parkun Rapids number nine Hermantown Proctor and a quick goal for Kaden Conler to start the fourth quarter. Now they get that goal back that they just gave up at the end of the third to push the lead back to
eight. A quick one there makes it a 10-2 lead. Second of the game for Conler. Yeah, just a nice nice shot from way out. [Music] the third leading score in this squad. And Conqueror just a freshman.
So you look, you know, Tramia, a junior leading the way, Herzog is a senior. You got a freshman in Conkler and an eighth grader in person. Yeah, a lot of youth. So they will have some very nice pieces
coming back to be sure. Lamari Brown up there rounding out the top five in scoring as a junior. So or top six in scoring, I guess, as a junior. You had mentioned it. They got rained out on senior night. So celebrating
their seniors, six seniors all told on the roster. I talked about it before. You know, Herszog and Scramstead, the big uh most notable pieces perhaps, but uh some other players that that will be tough to
replace. Jack Smolage, Brock Luick, Asher O. Yeah, it's Danny Quist. Always lose some leaders. Shot from a ways out from Quist. Misses high, but they're in good position and will maintain possession.
Brock Luick lowering his shoulder and dropping a defender. [Music] Don't get to do that when you're wearing the big pads in the hockey rink. I mean, you can lower the shoulder, but it's frowned upon. You don't get the
opportunity typically. [Music] Quist looking for room right side held up there by Michael Worthington. Lot of laundry now. They got flags from both sides. I know. All three three flags. Oh, did I I
missed one? Yep. Both sides. And then one right in front of the net. I missed them. Were they all for the same? All for the same. Yep. They all came They basically all came out at the same time. Well, and that one again, I'm not real
familiar with the rules and and sometimes to me it's it's the ref decides you've gone just a little too far. That one was relatively obvious that was there was grabbing a player in that way is not probably allowed. No, I I don't know of
any sports say maybe wrestling where you can hold your opponent that way. So, another opportunity with an extra man on the field. Work the perimeter. Coming in tight. Tani bounces it off the side of the net.
Chance for Leansky. Misses wide. Right back out front. It eludes the stick of Conler, but he's able to scoop it back up. Back for Leansky. Down low. Person jump shot that was deflected. ends up out the far side.
They'll continue to bring the pressure. Well, they they will. I mean, still obviously plenty of time left. The clock is running at 9:40. And it's interesting to see Toby Trani really has has played a secondary role tonight. He hasn't really tried to make
himself the first scoring option. Nope. I think they will need him to take that a little bit, you know, make himself an option a little bit more on Thursday if they advance to handover, which
right now it looks like they will. It looks like, you know, barring a pretty enormous meltdown, uh, they will get themselves to the next round. But, uh you know, you look at a guy that's got 42 goals and he does have two goals
tonight, but again, he he has looked to be the setup guy, it seemed, more than uh making the shot his first option, and that may be something he needs to change come Thursday. Well, but then again, if
if you can continue to get Pson and Herszog involved on the scoring end and and get get Conkler involved offensively as well. You know, maybe that's that's what's going to work best for him. Well,
maybe the opponent dictates it as well and how the game unfolds. He doesn't necessarily have to play that role here tonight. Sle ahead. Quick shot. Scramstead makes the save on the opportunity for Kale Smith. Smith is the leading scorer for the Hermantown
Proctor team. Came in with 37 goals. He does not have one of their two here tonight. [Music] throwing Cass out front and that's a big hit.
That'll bring the laundry to the field. But that is a big hit. Blake Melum just train rolled. Yep. Over Kale Smith. We'll see it again. Just boom. Yeah, he let him know he was he
was there. Hey, I gotta give Smith credit for for not coming up retaliatory. Some discussion on and amongst the referees to determine the severity of the penalty perhaps.
[Music] [Applause] And I'm not familiar with the hand signals, but I'll tell you when they relay, it's more like American sign language than it than any other sport
where it's usually just one action, right, tells you, but their actions tell the player it was on, how long the penalty is, what the penalty was, where it was uh apparently uh you know, it
was Professor Plum with the rope in the hallway all in hand signals. It's impressive. It is impressive. Most impressive. No question. Hermantown Proctor trying to take advantage of this opportunity. They find
themselves in a huge hole in this fourth quarter. That pass doesn't click and that's backcourt violation to steal a turn from basketball. Turnover. [Music] Amari Brown backing away, letting his
teammates get into position. And again, this is we talked about it a lot in the in the girls game. This is a spot where SLPCR big lead fourth quarter. They can take their time. They're in no hurry. Absolutely
zero sense of urgency. And if you're defending for Hermantown Proctor, you have to bring pressure because if not, they will just be able to pass it around for the next six and a half minutes. Chance
Herszog in close but he couldn't secure the pass and then he was bumped off it. It's recovered by Graph Melon. Melon long pass ahead and Tramy's going to pick up an infraction for
trying to knock that one free from Jack Lassard. May have caught Lazard up near the trophy was listening. That was a throat. That was meant the throat in case you were that joke. The throat. The throat. The throat. Exactly midway through this
fourth quarter. Shot to the throat. Right in a tro. That's how they say it out east. Yep. Tro that's a fish. Never thought about how they would say trout trout out east trot trout trot
bounce shot skips up over the net over scramstead out of bounds but a couple of blue jerseys back there to make sure they maintain possession. Nordberg quickly get it back out front.
Cass will get it right back. Long shot. Scramstead got a piece. Cass pass too high for Kale Smith and a turnover back to that cell PCR. And it's kind of been the case all night for uh for Herman Herman Del Proctor that um
they just haven't been able to get their offensive going really. They really haven't. They haven't, you know, when they've had a few opportunities, they turn the ball over. But, you know, give credit to SLPCR. They've been doing a good job playing defense. Mason Nordberg
slows it down, works it back for Graph Melon. Melon lets some teammates get on the field. Rolls it across for James Daly. Daly lost it. Now takes a big bump. [Music]
[Applause] Brown is like Ario's Speed Wagon. He takes it on the run [Applause] to the other end. backs off right back in. Brown on the attack. Backhanded shot over the top. Herszo patrolling the back
line. Yeah. And again, he he does a really nice job of just making something happen and using his his quickness. Tried to get that back in. Herszog from behind the net tried a backhand of his own. Sends it across and
out of bounds on the near side. and SLPCR in good position to maintain possession. Viscara Davis back up top. This is Danny Quist working around the right side back
behind Tranby out front back door. Another goal for Brody Herszog. That's number fourth tonight. I mean just the pass too. I mean just streaking into the net. Perfect find. And again, just all one motion as he's able to catch and
shoot. That's his fourth of the game. You see it again just from behind the net right through the middle to Herszog and just a quick little quick goal for him. 11-2 lead
with 330 remaining. [Applause] [Music] It's going to be one of their most dominant victories of the season. Did beat Bloomington Kennedy Burnsville
early in the season by a 12-3 score. [Music] [Applause] Bonington Kennedy Burnsville also lost to Proctor Hermantown or Hermantown Proctor 9 to4. So they had two
two common opponents. Anoka the other able to beat both of these teams in the regular season. But this was this has been an impressive showing from the home squad to be certain. Again, coming in, you know, a slightly better record for the
higher seated uh stealth at 8 and five versus Rapids's Spring Lake Park 7 and six. But clearly the catbirds have shown the seating was correct. They are the superior
squad as we tick toward the final couple of minutes. Toby Tranby tracked behind the net by Jack Lassard. His pass did not click. Evaded Blake Melum. And now they'll call a backcourt
violation or back field violation. turnover, what have you. But, uh, there's no rule here in like there is in basketball. If the other team touched it before, it's not a
violation. It's the way it is. 101 seconds remaining in the season for Hermantown Proctor. Long shot from by Kale Smith and another big stop for Tommy Scramstead. Scramstead running for his life. Just
fired it. Flag came out. So when Hermantown Proctor does get possession, the whistle will blow anyway. Another flag on the field. And now it's intercepted. Somebody's going to get a penalty somewhere with 109 to go.
Well, it's been an impressive game for the Catirds for certain. I mean, you you get an opponent that you've that you're able to handle and they certainly have. No question. So, flags flew at both ends and uh both against the visitors. So, couple of guys
in the naughty box. [Applause] Carter Lee is going to get a chance to to come in, get a little section playing time between the pipes. Tommy Scramstead all smiles on
the sidelines with head coach Chris Todd. He is. He was outstanding tonight. [Music] Trani gets his third. Makes it a 10-goal lead.
Score is number. Yeah, this is again just with a minute three left. It's a solid solid outing. Here's just a quick quick little shot. before this. I'd like to make a special
announcement here. Bats Merrick made some big saves for for his team in that especially early in that first half. Uh keeping this one very close, but he has been under siege all all night long. [Music]
Scooped up by Quinn Andrews. His pass out of the reach of Melon. Defense swarming. Good steal on the [Music] pass. Jack
Smolich just going to run past everybody into the offensive end right to the net. Misses the shot and Hermantown Proctor will be able to take possession with 38 seconds to go. Small,
another one of those seniors. Yeah, getting some action in just as uh the clock continues to run. They stopped it. They're looking [Music] [Applause] Down to the final 30 seconds.
SLPCR not taking the foot off the gas at all. Well, they're they know they've got a they've got a a heck of a contest ahead of them against Andover. They want to continue to play well. Running all cylinders take it into that one.
[Music] Pass knocked away as the buzzer sounds and that will be your final score. A dominant performance by the number eight seated Spring Lake Park Rapids squad as they advance to the quarterfinal round. And
both of the SLPCR squads holding serve as the eighth seed and advancing to face the number one seed in the quarterfinal round on Thursday. Yeah. And and again, a nice win uh and an impressive win and a solid win at
12-2. the fact that they, you know, were able to get 12 goals in this game and come out and and play well and take it into Thursday night. Yeah. And for the team from Hermantown Proctor, a long damp ride home for sure. Knowing that
their season has now come to an end. And for SLPCR, it makes coming out and playing in the rain uh maybe worth a little bit more when you come away with a win and a dominant win at that. So they move on to face Andover in the next
round. There you see some of the rest. Champlain Park the number four seed is hosting number 13 Cloquet and Blaine the number five seed gets 12th seed Forest Lake. But that is going to do it for
this edition of CTN sports. Again, the final score, it's SLPCR12, Hermantown Proctor 2. Want to thank everyone 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.
