Boys Basketball: Flambeau at Prentice

March 6, 2026·1 hr 34 min·5 clips

Prentice blows the game open to 20-2 on a fast break and sharp passing sequence.

Scott Heckman and Brett Heckman open the broadcast from Prentice, Wisconsin. They set up Flambeau against Prentice and walk through the seed line as the game gets underway. Flambeau comes in as a six seed. Prentice is the three seed, and the booth treats it as the stronger favorite in a section that sounds packed with quality teams. The call stays conversational from the start. It shifts from lineup talk to game context, with the booth noting that Flambeau is 19-6 and has earned a solid spot. The game itself comes quickly. The broadcasters keep the action grounded in plain details, the kind of local call that keeps circling back to who has the ball, what the margin is, and how the night is unfolding. Sponsor reads sit in the middle of the coverage. They are part of the broadcast's texture, not a detour from it. By halftime, Prentice has built a 26-point lead. That margin gives the game a clear shape even as the booth keeps calling the last possessions of the half. On an inbound play, Hetch finds Dominic Kopacz. Kopacz finishes off the glass, and the call lands with a quick flash of color as the booth compares the look to Christian Laettner. The broadcast then eases into the halftime handoff. It returns to 98 Q country, brings back the Forward Bank halftime show, and keeps the station-room rhythm moving. More sponsor copy follows. Northwoods Community Credit Union, Woodruff Appliance and TV, and the rest of the local underwriting stay woven into the same stream as the basketball. The close signs off from WIAA High School Sports and then hands listeners to the weather report, with scattered showers, a possible thunder rumble, and mixed snow into Saturday morning.
