over at vance downs as he crosseshalf court and slows down this offense.

(15:05):

been held silent. Will Thomas,now at the top of the key,
gives it to Manny Luth, nowback out to Cameron stra Haacker gets the
high screen by Manny Luth who rollsswings it out right corner three up long
there by Will Thomas. Maybe heneeds the pressure of the buzzer to make

(15:26):
those because he made that one toend the first quarter almost the same exact
shot. And uh, the refscall a timeout for themselves to kind of
clean up the floor looks like somepopcorn from some fans getting on the court

straw Haacker heading to the bench,a big rebound by him and coming in

takes it all the way out tothe logo and slows things down. Gets

(33:37):
the shot clock under twenty seconds.Jack Winner now drives with the left hand,
kind of a wild shot there,didn't have his feet set misses that
one. Only seven points for Jackwinner. Here comes a long three and
that's no good by Kyle Smith.Good hustle though by Corey Smith. To
save it. Now Guy Netto fromthe left corner. His three is up

(33:58):
and good and it looks like headcoach Michael Appel, we'll call a timeout.
Seven points now for Carter guyanetto thesenior guard. Five po ten And
that's what second chance points can do. And that's showing the effect of having
to sit marriage now for as longas Vance Downs has just with the foul

(34:19):
trouble. So thirty five nineteen fourpointy seven to go here in the third
quarter Aimes Little Cyclones Boys Varsity basketball. I'm fourteen thirty as I am Justin
Miller, happy as always to behere. We have a good one here
in battle for first place. Butyou know what else is good Northwest Bank.

(35:02):
around the state of Iowa. Ifyou're listening to the iHeartRadio app Core twenty
seven to go, thirty five nineteenAimes on top here in the third quarter,
eleven points for Jamison Poe, sevenpoints for Jack Winner. It will
be Ames basketball. Here on thefloor is jameson Poe, Jack Winner,

(35:24):
Abe Voss, Will Thomas, andManny Luth. Now Here comes something we
haven't seen all night, full courtpress by the Marshalltown Bob Katz, kind
of a soft one. They inboundit to Will Thomas and all those white
jerseys floodback across half court. Nowhere's a dish kind of miscommunication there by

(35:47):
Jack Winner as a Voss tried tojust float it up to him, but
turn over there and now you're givinga little bit of momentum back over to
the home team. Thirty five nineteenunder four minutes to go. It is
Corey Smith on the right wing,crosses up a boss, got a little

(36:08):
bit of separation had an open layup, missed it his brother, though Smith
picks it up, hands it offnow to Saren, who drives towards the
mill of the lane and lay upno good but a charge. Great job
there by Jack Winner. Jack Winnerno more offensively for the same squad,

(36:29):
putting his body on the line andtaking a big hit there by Regilio Sarin,
the senior guard six' one three fiftyto go thirty five to nineteen Ames
on top. Here's Will Thomas atthe top of the key. Gives it
now to Jack Winner. A Vosstried to go down deep to Manny Luth

(36:51):
now has to kick it back outthree thirty nine to go fifteen seconds on
the shot clock. Jack Winner doesn'tneed rush a shot slows down. Now
they get inside of Manning Luth kindof dangerous, though he's able to pick
it up with his fingertips. NowHere comes to drive by Jack Winner on
the left block, tries to bankit in no good and the offense has
gone stale. Here in the finalminutes of this third quarter, Guy Netto

(37:14):
tries to drive on that left blockand he's fouled. First foul there by
Will Thomas trying to reach in andrip that one away. So fresh thirty
five now for Marshall Town and it'llbe Guy Netto to imbound it on the
near side of the hoop, dishesit out. There's a long three no

(37:37):
good rebound Manningluth three no good thereby Kyle Smith. He can hit those,
though. Kyle Smith typically a thirtythree percent three point shooter or forty
three percent. I apologize, fortythree percent three point shooter has not found
his stride tonight, and that's creditto the Ames High School defense. Three

(37:59):
three third quarter thirty five nineteen.Will Thomas to inbound it now on the
near side of the hoop, phas to find the cutting Abe Voss now
decides to just kick it out deepto Jamison Poe. Jamison Post lows things
down at the top of the key, hands it off now to Will Thomas.
Good perimeter offense here in movement byAmes. Now Jamison Poe crosses up

(38:24):
left handed, lap up no goodand that goes off Jamison Poe and Jamison
Poe trying to split through two defendersthat time does not work, but it
has been working. He's one ofthose rare guys where anyone else, you
go, why are you driving that? But then he makes them. He
has eleven points tonight, so noone can say anything, and even coach

(38:45):
Vans down, you know, applaudhim. He oh, he just plays
with such physicality. It's so impressive. Eleven points for Jamison Poe thirty five
nineteen Aimes on top third quarter,both offenses stalling out here in the final
three minutes. Here's a long threeby Brooks and that lands at the top
of the key. Now it's gettinga little closer. Thirty five twenty two.

(39:10):
Here comes Will Thomas, really slowingthings down. Need to change something
offensively, Murray Schaus still sitting onthe bench. They try to dish it
in a boss towards Jack Winner andthat's a turnover. And there's the first
time we've seen a forced pass bythis Ames offense. We mentioned it at
halftime that this was a team wethought was playing with great offensive efficiency.

(39:37):
As here's the ball movement by theBobcats. A boss Will picks up the
steel, tries to give it toJack Winner, but he's poked out and
they're going to call a foul thattime on Corey Smith. Almost two turnovers
there one by each team on onepossession. But it'll stay here with the
Ames Little Cyclones. Jack Winner givesit to Manny Luth at the logo.

(39:59):
Now he hands it off to WillThomas. Will Thomas crosses half court guarded
by Brooks. That's Manny Luth onthe right wing. Swings it out to
the left wing. Now to WillThomas. Twenty seconds on the shot clock.
A dribble inside the three point line. Now kick out to Jamison Poe
at the top of the key.Drives with the right hand and lost that

(40:19):
one. Another turnover, back toback turnovers. Now for the Ams Little
Cyclones. Guy netto that three.No good, rebounded by Jack Winner.
He was open and he's hit himtoday. Seven points for him. He's
leading the way. Here comes JackWinner. Drives towards the left elbow and
he spins around lay up. Nogood. He was fouled. So it
looks like two shots coming here.Thirty five twenty two a minute ten remaining

(40:45):
here in the third quarter. Vancetownshas spoke constantly about how crucial it is
for Aims to have success. Theyhave to put Jack Winner at the free
throw line, and as that firstone is good, Jack Winner leading the
team in free throw percentage at seventysix and a half. He went nine
of eleven the last time out onthe court eight points now for Winner.

(41:12):
Still have yet to see anything fromMurrah Dow. He throws up in good
two for two for Jack Winner.Maybe just seeing the ball go through the
net is what this Ames offense needs. Thirty seven to twenty two a minute
remaining here in the third quarter,Brooks on the right wing, guarded by
Will Thomas, kicks it out.Here comes a long three that's short rebounded

(41:36):
by Manny Luth. That three byKyle Smith no good rebounded Will Thomas.
About thirty seconds separating game clock fromshot clock. Here's Manny Luth at the
top of the key, hands itoff a boss. Now Here comes his
dribble with the left hand, andthat's good. Just his second bucket of
the night comes with thirty seconds remainingin the third quarter. And that's where

(42:00):
he's so dangerous, is when youspread out the court and he's able to
go one on one. He justhas great speed for how tall he is.
And it's thirty nine twenty two,twenty seconds remaining shot clock and game
clock basically knotted up. Here comesa drive that's a foul and a block
on Jamison Poe. He just wasnot set. Maybe a hair off.

(42:23):
Vance Downs is trying to ask becauseit was really close. But that is
now Jamison Poe's second foul, thirdteam foul here in the third quarter.
Two free throws now coming up forKyle Smith. Verse one rattles in fifteen

(42:57):
point three seconds is how much Aimswill have once they get the ball back
here thirty nine to twenty three secondfree throw now coming up for Smith,
and it is good, so Ameshas the opportunity to hold on for the
final shot of the third quarter,up thirty nine to twenty four. Ten

(43:20):
seconds. As Jamison Pope crosses halfcourt, he's guarded by Corey Smith,
gets the high screen by Jack Winner, now has to kick it out to
Winner his step back three from thetop of the key. No good rebounded
by Marshalltown. So it wasn't apretty offensive quarter here for the Ames Little
Cyclones, and we have a goodone now setting up for the final eight

(43:42):
minutes. Thirty nine to twenty four. Your Ames Little Cyclones Boys Varsity team
on top of the Marshall Town BobcatsJustin Miller on the call. You're listening
to Ames High Basketball. I'm fourteenthirty Kasi. That's coming on the call
here as it is thirty nine totwenty four of the Ames Little Cyclones on
top of Marshalltown to start the fourthquarter. Murrachdal back in the lineup here

(44:07):
and he quickly gets looked at.But that passed by Will Thomas a little
too high. And the offensive efficiencyhere where the Ames Little Cyclones has gone
downhill. Too many turnovers late asnow we have seen in that third quarter
eleven to ten run by the Bobcats, which now cut down this lead.

(44:30):
Here comes Brooks, guarded by Thomas, kicks it back out. Here's a
three by Theisin no good, reboundedby Jamison Poe. Jamison Poe leads all
scores with eleven points, seven totwenty to go. Here in the fourth
quarter, tries to hand it offto Jack Wentron decides to step back and
slow things down. Thomas with iton the right wing. Now back out

(44:50):
to Jack winner. Winner now triesto drive Baseline pulls up from about ten
feet out. No good offensive boardthough, Murrage Dow no good though on
the put back, and here comesGuyan Netto. Neto drives into the middle
of the paint. Two pump fakeslayup walked by Jack Winner. Good defense
there by the senior six point fiftyto go thirty nine to twenty four.

(45:15):
Will Thomas crosses half court now findsad Voss and looks like just good motion
perimeter offense here by Ames trying tojust get someone cutting towards the paint.
That time miscommunication. Ad Voss wascutting, so was jameson Poe ran into
each other. Now with ten secondsremaining, Jack Winner hits a three at

(45:37):
the top of the key. That'snow twelve points for him and a timeout
called there by Michael Lapel. Asthe shot clock was running out. Looked
like the offense was just all sortsof could put and Jack Winner saves the
day with long three pointer there atthe top of the key. Forty two

(46:00):
twenty four games on top. Thatthird quarter ended with the Bobcats out scoring
games eleven to ten. Zero pointsstill from Thomas in the second half,
only two points by Voss, onlytwo by Po But it was a four

(46:21):
point performance by Jack Winner that reallyhelped this offense. And now a long
three there to start out this fourthquarter. While the two teams head to
their sidelines to talk over what theywant to do, Let's give a shout
out to Sea and K Heating andCooling. For fifty five years, CEEINGK
Heating and Cooling has operated under onesimple ideal, keeping comfort simple. Call

(47:07):
it at the top of the key, now gives it to Sarah on the
floor for aims at is Voss,Murray h Dow, Jamison Poe Jack Winner
and Will Thomas on the right elbow. It was Brooks taking on Thomas now
kicks it back out to Corey Smith. Corey Smith on the ground. Balls
on the ground and it is ajump ball and it'll stay here with the
Bobcats. With thirteen seconds remaining hereon the shot clock, forty two to

(47:32):
twenty four final six minutes and threeseconds here Murray h du back on the
floor with three fouls. Having towatch that. Here comes the pass out
to Brooks on the right wing,three up long, no good, rebounded
by Jack Winner. Here comes WillThomas. Now it's a boss slowing things

(47:54):
down on the right wing. Hedrives towards the top of the key,
hands it off to Jamison Poe.Jamison post Win swings it back over to
Jack Winner. Just good perimeter defensehere by the Bobcats. They've done this
all throughout the second half. Theadjustments Apple mate Appel made has been really

(48:15):
impressive. This time. Jack Winnerhas an open look from top of the
key. His three up, nogood offensive board though by Murrage down he
puts it back in four points formurrachdwe forty four to twenty four, five
point fifteen to go. Here inthe fourth quarter, Saren finds a cutting

(48:57):
try to look down to Murray Dawe, but he is quickly double team by
Brooks. Here comes Will Thomas,just splitting through three defenders in the middle
of the paint. But Will Thomasholding onto that left ankle might have tweaked
it a little something to watch outfor. But eleven points now for Will
Thomas, Yeah, he's really holdingon to that left ankle, still playing

(49:20):
through it. Here Sky Netto atthe top of the key hands it off
hump fake thereby Smith. Now backout to the left wing guarded by Jack
Winner. Here comes in. Herecomes Saren at the top of the key,
gives it back out to Smith.That's stolen Jamison Poe. There's the
speed, just blows right past Smithand one, No, we missed it.
I thought that ball was gonna dropfor sure. Was fouled hard though,

(49:45):
and still on the ground his numberten hope Kyle Smith is okay.
Will Thomas looked over at coach Vansdowns and gave a thumbs up. Man
that ball I was so close tofalling for an am one but two free
throws nonetheless for Jamison Poe. Ohwith eleven points, missed the last time

(50:10):
out on the court with an injuryand still has that speed to show for
it. Free throws up and good. Forty eight to twenty seven. Will
Thomas is going to head to thebench, Manning Luke coming in for him.
Looks like he's still kind of favoringon that left ankle, but doesn't

(50:35):
seem to be in too much pain, which was good to see. Second
free throw no good, so it'llstay a twenty point lead. Now for
Ames, here comes the Bobcats.Time starting to run out. Four minutes
remaining and there's a timeout called byMichael Appel and they will only have two
timeouts remaining here in the fourth courtor no one timeout. They had the

of the floor. Manny Luth crossesup Saren now back out to the right
wing. It is Jamison Poe eighteenseconds on the shot clock swings it over
to Manny Luth on the left wing. Defense is really putting some pressure,

(52:27):
trying to force any side, anykind of turnover here for the Bobcats.
Now six seconds guy gets something towardsa shot as Jamison Poe heads towards that
left block and he's filed hard andnow that will be a fresh thirty five.
So it wasn't a pretty offensive possession, but nonetheless jameson. Poe gets
it done because now Ames gets theball back with thirty five seconds on the

(52:52):
shot clock. Will Thomas coming infor Manny Luth. Manny Luth may not
have been putting up too many points, only has one buck on the night,
but he has been playing some crucialminutes for a Will Thomas that needed
a second to favor that ankle alittle, and then Murragetaut who has struggled
with some foul trouble. Here's WillThomas back in the game, trying to

(53:14):
set up the offense under three minutesto go now forty seven to twenty nine,
aims on top Will Thomas at thetop of the key. Manda Man
defense for the Bobcats right wing ispo Now he gives it back to Jack
Winner. Trying to go one onone. He drives towards the middle of
the paint, his layup up nogood. Battle for the offensive board goes
to Jamison Poe though in another freshthirty five for this little cyclone team.

(53:38):
Two thirty six remaining in this one, Aimes with the ball. Jamison Poe
at the top of the key,guarded by Corey Smith ends it off now

the court, trying to just reallyslow things down. Under ten seconds now
on the shot clock, eight seconds, Guy get something towards the paint.

(53:59):
Jamison Poe right wing, right elbowjumper up short battle for the rebound.
Murra H Dow with his fourth fouland vance Downs is livid on that one.
Here comes Manny Luth. Murrah Dow, a really talented young player,

(54:20):
sophomore center, just has to behas to understand they had those three fouls.
Now he picks up his fourth andhe is probably going to have to
sit for a while. Here fortyseven nine, two minutes remaining in this
one. Brooks with the ball,kicks it out to the right wing to
Guy Netto gets the high screen bySmith had him open for a second on

(54:42):
the picking pop, but he's gonnafire it anyways. And that one short
rebounded by Jamison Poe and it's fortyseven to twenty nine with one forty five

(55:04):
twelve points on the night. Poedrives towards the left block, lay up
up and good off the glass,and it is now forty nine to twenty

both squads. Here Cameron Strawhacker headingtowards the scorers table. Here comes the

(55:25):
Bobcats at the top of the key. Guy Netto drives on Jack Winner,
lay up high off the glass,no good battle for the offensive board and
it's on the ground. It's Sarenripping it away from Manny Luth. But
a jump ball and it'll be Amesbasketball. Now Here comes the fun part
where we get to name off someof the players we don't actually get to

(55:45):
talk about nearly enough, but playersthat Van Stowns is so proud of,
and he talks about them constantly inpostgame conferences and postgame interviews pregame interviews.
The role players make up how theseards play because they have to play as
every opponent during practice. And clearlythey've done a good job because they've prepared

(56:07):
the starting five very well. Sonow on the floor, it is number
ten Robbie Muhammad bringing up the court, gives it over to Cameron stra Hacker
on the right wing. Now kicksit back out that is Isaiah Knight on
the left wing. Now Here comesMohammed driving towards the middle of the paint.
He's fouled. So forty nine pointtwo seconds a twenty point lead for

(56:28):
the Ames Little Cyclones. Mohammad nowcoming in for Cameron straw Hacker. Cameron
stra Hacker and name a lot ofAmes Little Cyclone fans know from him being
the quarterback of the team. Andnow here's an inbounds pass to Luke Brecky.

(56:50):
Now back out to Isaiah Knight,flips it out. There's a wide
open three that's up. No goodgood shot though by number ten Robbie Muhammad.
That ball rolls out bound, Sothirty nine point one second remaining in
this one. Inbounding it over tonumber thirty four Gottlee joor Cross's half court
for the Bobcats. Now swings itout over to Todd Rain. Now back

(57:15):

elbow jumper block. They're good blockby Gering Dang of Ames and now here
comes Robie Muhammad, a little outof control on the right block, jump
shot up, hit, every partof the rim, just could not fall
and this should do it. Withseven seconds remaining, the bobcats a long

(57:39):
three and nailed it. That'll makethe crowd happy. That's number thirty four
Gottlean Joor hitting a near half courtshot with about six seconds remaining. But
nonetheless, your Ames, little Cyclonesare now in sole possession of the Iowa
Alliance Conference, improving to five andtwo on the season, four and zero

(58:00):
in the conference play, winning fortynine to thirty two.
