THEY ARE GOING FOR THEIR THIRD STRAIGHT AND THEY HAVE PLAYED NOW IN 20.

THIS WILL BE THE 21st STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

OTHER THAN THAT THE PROGRAMS ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> NOT SURE YOU WANT TO TAKE ON THIS BUFORD WOLVES TEAM.

THEY ARE POISED.

THEY HAVE TALENT.

>> TWICE THEY HAVE BEEN IN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

EACH TIME THEY TRIALED.

CAME BACK AND TIED GAME LATE AND WON IT IN OVERTIME.

HE'S THE HIGH SCHOOL VERSION OF TOM BRADY.

>> MR. FRIESE.

GREAT DECISION MAKER.

HE'S MOBILE.

ONE THING HE MIGHT HAVE TO PULL OUT TONIGHT IS THE WEATHER.

PUT THE PRESSURE ON ASHTON DANIELLE.

HE MAY BE THE BEST TALENT BUFORD EVER HAD.

>> A TRUE MISMATCH.

6'5", HIGH MOTOR ATTACKING DEFENSE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS DEFENSE, IT'S FULL OF TALENT BUT IT PLAYS WITH GREAT EFFORT.

YES, ONLY 6.4 POINTS GAME.

SPEAKING OF TALENT, LANGSTON HUGHES HAS THAT.

THEY LOST THEIR OPENER AND THEY HAVE BEEN ON A ROLL EVER SINCE LED BY THEIR FOUR STAR RUNNING BACK, ANTONIO MARTIN WHO IS COMMITTED TO THE GEORGIA TECH YELLOWJACKETS.

>> HE'S ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY FROM GEORGIA TECH STADIUM.

THEY WILL NEED HIM.

HE'S THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE OFFENSE.

>> LOOK FOR HIM TO TRY TO MAKE BIG PLAYS.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

2500 YARDS ON THE SEASON.

33 TOUCHDOWNS.

GREAT DECISION MAKING NEEDED IN THE BAD WEATHER.

>> BIG UP FRONT, BIG BODY.

6'7", 260.

HEADED TO GEORGIA IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR HIS TALENT.

BIG OFFENSIVE LINE WILL HAVE TO COME IN PLAY WITH ANTONIO MARTIN TONIGHT.

>> THEIR LINEBACKER.

HE'S GOT THREEMAKING PLAYS ALL SEASON.

>> 165 TACKLES ON THE YEAR.

A TACKLING MACHINE.

HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP BIG AGAINST THIS BUFORD RUN GAME.

>> IS IT HISTORY THAT MATTER, BUFORD HAS THE ADVANTAGE.

>> THEY HAVE GREAT ADVANTAGE AND THEIR CONTINUOUS SUCCESS.

WE ASKED COACH APPLING THAT THIS WEEK.

WE MAY SEND A LOT TO ALABAMA.

I HAD SOME COACHES SPEND SOME TIME TRYING TO LEARN HOW DO THEY MANAGE TALENT.

ALABAMA HAS A HEAVY INFLUENCE ON HOW BUFORD RUNS ITS PROGRAM.

THOSE TWO PROGRAM, ALABAMA AND WEST POINT HAVE THEIR HANDS ALL OVER FOOTBALL.

THAT'S WHY BUFORD BUFORD COMPETE AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL.

>> I THINK WILEY HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

WHEN I THINK OF THIS BUFORD PROGRAM AND WE'RE IN THIS BUSINESS AND ALWAYS MAKING COMPARABLES, THIS PLAYER LOOKS LIKE THAT PLAYER.

THIS PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE THAT PROGRAM.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT BUFORD, I THINK ABOUT THE ALABAMA FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SIT AND WAIT.

GUYS HEADED TO POWER FIVE SCHOOLS WILL GET IN.

TWO OR THREE CARRIES HERE.

ONE OR TWO CATCHES, NEVER COMPLAIN AND GO OUT AND WIN.

>> BUFORD DID LOSE ONE GAME BACK ON SEPTEMBER 17th.

IT ONLY SEEMED TO MAKE THEM MAD.

THEY WENT ON A STRING OF SHUT OUTS.

IT WASN'T FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS THAT THE TEAM SCORED AN OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN SDPLP THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A GOOD LOSS.

RIGHT NOW SHOULD BE GREAT GAME.

BUFORD HERE.

A LOT OF TALENT.

CAN THEY BRING THEIR A GAME ONCE AGAIN AND TAKE HOME A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE READY TO GO.

OPENING KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

THAT'S WHERE THE WOLVES WILL GO ON OFFENSE FOR FIRST TIME TODAY.

GOOD LOOK AT SAIAH BOND RIGHT THERE.

THE FLORIDA GATORS FIRED THEIR HEAD COACH BACK IN NOVEMBER.

THERE'S ASHTON DANDANIELS.

HIS NUMBERS, 1600 YARD, THREE INTERCEPTIONS.

70% COMPLETION RATE.

THEY ARE NOT BIGGER BECAUSE THEY SPLIT TIME WITH THEIR QUARTERBACK.

TOSS GOES TO THE RUNNING BACK.

HE GETS STONE WALLED RIGHT THERE AT THE 30 YARD LINE.

THE BACK END SERVES, YOU SEE JAKE POPE.

HE'S COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA.

HE LIKELY WILL PLAY SAFETY AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

VICTOR VENN FOLLOWS HIS BLOCKER INTO THE HOLE.

IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN.

>> NICE JOB.

YOU KNOW THEY WILL TRY TO COME OUT AND RUN THE BALL.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH HIM.

HE'S ONE OF THOSE SNEAKY, I DON'T RUN THE BALL BUT THEN I RUN FOR 30 YARDS ON A PLAY.

IT WAS TELEVISED A MONTH AGO.

HE WENT OUT FOR PASS AND CAUGHT A 40 YARD TOUCHDOWN.

RIGHT NOW NOT ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.

HAVING TO THROW IT ON THE OUTSIDE.

LANGSTON HUGHES, THIS DEFENSE PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL.

A LOT OF THAT IS DUE TO THEIR RUN FIT.

>> BUFORD PLAYING FROM BEHIND.

THEY HAVE NOT HAD TO DO THAT MUCH AT ALL.

MARTIN WILL PULL HIS WAY FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

I DON'T REMEMBER ANY TIME IN RECENT MEMORY A RUNNING BACK RUNNING WITH THIS KIND OF POWER AGAINST BUFORD.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO EXPERIENCING.

>> GETTING PUSH BACK AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU NOTICE AS WELL, YOU TALK ABOUT THIS LINE IS NOT JUST PLAYING WITH POWER, THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB OF STICKING AND STAYING.

PLAYERS ARE HAVING TO WORK OFF THE BLOCK TO HAVE A CHANCE OF GRABBING MARTIN AS HE RUNS BY.

>> 1st AND 10.

BALL AT THE 38.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TOUCHDOWN RIGHT THERE HAD HE BEEN ABLE TO BRING THAT PASS DOWN TO SHELLY.

SHELLY RUNNING DOWN THE SCREEN.

JUST COULDN'T CONNECT.

THAT'S ONE HE WOULD WANT BACK TOMORROW WHEN HE WATCHES THE FILM.

THAT LOOKED LIKE A TOUCHDOWN OR A FOOT RACE TO THE END ZONE.

>> IN OUR CONVERSATION WITH COACH, THE QUESTION CAME UP, WHAT ABOUT THE BRIGHT LIGHT, THE BIG STADIUM PLAY.

BUFORD WITH THE HISTORY OF HAVING BEEN THERE DONE THAT, IT'S NOT BEEN A FACTOR.

>> IT'S THE FOG.

IT'S BLOCKING THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LIGHTS.

THEY CAN'T SEE IT.

THEY'RE PLAYING RIGHT NOW WITH A DIFFERENT TEMPO.

THEY'RE PLAYING WITH HOW BUFORD PUSHES PEOPLE AROUND, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THEY'RE DICTATING TO THIS DEFENSE.

THIS DEFENSE CAME IN AND THEY CAN'T STOP THIS OFFENSE AT THE MOMENT.

>> 3rd DOWN AND 2.

THEY NOW GET TO DICTATE HOW THE REST OF THIS GAME GETS PLAYED.

THEY WILL CONTROL ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE GAME INCLUDING THE CLOCK.

>> START BE DOING A RUN BLITZ AND SLOW HIM DOWN.

>> NOLAND SLINGS IT.

TRY THE ONE HANDED CATCH OUT THERE.

HE COULDN'T MAKE IT.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE RESUME FROM LANGSTON HUGHES FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

>> GOT HAVE THAT TIME.

GOOD PROTECTION.

JUST NOT HAVING THAT.

GOOD PROTECTION.

WAITING, WAITING.

YOU GOT TO HELP YOUR OFFENSIVE LINE UP AND HAVE TO SHOW MORE BALL SECURITY.

THAT'S ONE OF THOSE SOPHOMORE MISTAKES.

>> DID YOU SEE HOW BIG HE IS?

>> Referee: 5-YARD PENALTY.

3rd DOWN.

>> EVERYBODY CALLS HIM BEAU.

JONATHAN IS HIS GIVEN NAME.

STORY GOES THAT HIS GRANDMA MA CALLED HIM THAT BECAUSE HE WAS BOW LEGGED WHEN HE WAS A KID.

HE'S OVERCOME THAT TO BE ONE OF THE TOP JUNIOR OFFENSIVE TACKLES IN THE COUNTRY.

>> HAVE A LIGHT BOW TO MY LEG TO HELP YOU WITH THE BALANCE.

SLIGHT BOW HELPS YOU AS YOU PASS.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE 260 PART.

>> 260 WAS IN THE 8th GRADE.

>> YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR SUCCESS.

>> NO PROBLEM CUTTING DOWN THAT SPEED ON THE EDGE.

>> NICE PURSUIT BY DeMARCUS BROWN.

RELENTLESS PLAYERS.

HEADED TO BOSTON COLLEGE.

>> Referee: TIME OUT.

TIME OUT LANGSTON HUGHES.

>> YOU SEE LANGSTON HUGHES CALLS A TIME OUT.

>> I THINK THIS IS LIKE A BASKETBALL TIME OUT.

COACH, THAT'S A NICE TIME OUT TO GIVE THE DEFENSE A BREAK.

THIS TIME FINDING THE BACK EARLIER.

TWO TIME OUT.

HE'S ON THE GROUND.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE WILL WIN THIS ARGUMENT RIGHT HERE.

LANK HUGHES CALLS TIME OUT NOW IF YOU'RE BUFORD, IF IT GETS DOWN TO IT, DO YOU SETTLE FOR A FIELD GOAL HERE.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S NECESSARY FOR THEM TO GET SIX?

>> I THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR COACH APPLING TO INSPIRE SOME KIND OF ENERGY IN THIS TEAM.

THEY'RE KIND OCH SLEEPWALKING.

THE OFFENSE JUST KIND OF MILLING AROUND.

YOU HAVE A TIME OUT.

YOU HAVE NINE SECONDS.

YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET TWO PLAYS OFF EVEN IF YOU RUN THE BALL.

YOU GOT THAT TIME OUT.

FOR ME, THREE POINTS THAT'S NICE.

SEVEN POINTS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG SECOND HALF.

WE'RE DOWN TO NINE SECONDS TO PLAY IN FIRST HALF.

WORKS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO.

BUFORD CUT THE LANGSTON HUGHES LEAD IN HALF.

>> NICE JOB ON THE LEFT SIDE.

TIGHT END, LEFT TACKLE.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THAT ASHTON DANIELS.

THE FACTOR ABOUT HIM IS THAT IF ANYONE IS GOING TO KEEP THEIR POISE AND DRIVER THEIR TEAM TO VICTORY, HE'S THE GUY.

THEY DON'T HAVE A FULL BACK THAT CAN GO OUT THERE AND EXECUTE THAT PLAY.

>> BIG FULL BACK, AGGRESSIVE RUNNING BACK.

>> LANGSTON HUGHES WILL GET THE SECOND HALF KICK OFF AND FAIR CATCH CALL FOR IT.

NO TIME OFF THE CLOCK.

SMART PLAY BY LANGSTON HUGHES.

NOT TRY TO RETURN THIS.

YOU GET TO RUN A PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE.

YOU GET ONE MORE SHOT DOWN FIELD.

>> RIGHT HERE IF YOU'RE LANGSTON HUGHES, YOU TAKE THE 14-7.

>> YOU DON'T TAKE A SHOT.

GO INTO HALF.

>> RIGHT NOW GETTING YOU AND KILL THE CLOCK.

YOU WON THE FIRST HALF.

>> YOU'RE GOING TO GO CASH HIM IN NOW.

>> I'M TAKING A SHOT.

I'M ALL IN.

I'M PUSHING ALL MY CHIPS ON THIS ONE PLAY.

>> THEY'RE JUST TAKING A KNEE.

THEY'RE LISTENING TO WAYNE.

PLAYED 15 YEARS IN THE NFL.

I WATCHED 15 YEARS WORTH OF NFL.

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN I DO.

THAT'S THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

>> IMPRESSIVE FIRST HALF.

LET BUFORD OFF THE HOOK.

THEY WERE ABLE TO SCORE AN CUT THIS LEAD IN HALF.

>> LANGSTON HUGHES LOOKING LIKE BUFORD.

>> 14-7 LEAD FOR LANGSTON HUGHES.

IMPRESSIVE FIRST HALF FOR THE PANTHERS AND THEIR RUNNING BACK.

14 CARRIES.

TIME NOW FOR OUR COACHES INTERVIEW WITH WILEY PRESENTED BY DBH.

WHAT'S THE WEEK BEEN LIKE GETTING READY FOR THIS MOMENT?

>> IT'S BEEN AWESOME.

CELEBRATING OUR KIDS.

WE DID A PEP RALLY.

EVERYBODY'S BEEN EXCITED.

>> I FEEL LIKE WE'RE THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN ATLANTA.

WE HAVE TWO STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN BASKETBALL.

WE GRADUATED 51 KIDS.

WE ARE TRULY THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN ATLANTA.

>> WHAT'S IT LIKE WHEN YOU GET TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND THE ADMINISTRATION HAD BEEN BUILDING AND WORKING TOWARD TO HAVE MOMENTS LIKE THAT WITH THE GRADUATIONS AND WITH THOSE TITLES THAT AREN'T WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE KIDS WORK HERE IN FIRST 24 MINUTES?

>> I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS.

24 MINUTES DON'T SEEM THE SAME WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING THE GAME.

>> THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US AND LETTING US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AT LANGSTON HUGHES.

>> YOU HEARD IT HERE.

WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY AND CENTRAL OFFICE.

IT'S BEEN GREAT WEEK RETURNING TO THIS EVENT.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT OTHER THINGS OTHER THAN FOOTBALL.

I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PRIDE INVOLVING ATHLETICS.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ATHLETICS AT BUFORD.

WHAT ELSE DO FOLKS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?

>> WE JUST CELEBRATED THE FINE ARTS TWO NIGHTS AGO.

WE HAD A WINTER SHOW TO HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE FINE ARTS PROGRAM ACROSS BUFORD CITY SCHOOLS.

ALSO I LIKE TO POINT OUT THERE THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM JUST WON STATE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND ACADEMICALLY WE'RE HAVING A PHENOMENAL SEMESTER.

>> I KNOW ABOUT FINAL EXAMS TO END SEMESTERS.

WHAT'S IT'S LIKE TO SEE THE CONTINUAL SUCCESS.

>> SOFTBALL HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS.

BUFORD IS THERE AT THE END OF THE SEASON.

>> IT'S ALWAYS SO FUN THE FIRST TIME AND GREAT TO CELEBRATE IT EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

>> ONE OTHER QUESTION FOR YOU, THERE'S BAN LOT OF GROWTH IN BUFORD.

NOT JUST WITH THE SCHOOL BUT IN THE CITY AND THE AREA ITSELF.

WHAT'S IT BEEN LIKE TO SEE THE GROWTH OF THE KMUN AND THE COMMUNITY EMBRACE WHAT'S GOING ON AT BUFORD HIGH?

>> IT'S TRULY REMARKABLE.

HAVING THAT COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, THE COMMUNITY, LOOK AT THE PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT TO THIS EVENT TONIGHT.

IT'S TRULY REMARKABLE.

EVEN AS WE GROW, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT FAMILY ATMOSPHERE AND CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE EACH AND EVERY SUCCESS.

>> THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US AND BEING A GREAT PART OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US.

>> THANKS.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS GAME.

WHAT KIND OF STATEMENTS IS LANGSTON HUGHES MAKING NOW ON THE FIRST FINALS APPEARANCE?

>> THEY'RE NOT INTIMIDATED BY THE TEAM.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE TAILGATE PARTY.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME.

DON'T BE INTIMIDATED BY EVERYTHING GOING ON AROUND YOU.

DON'T LOOK UP AT THE LIGHTS IF YOU CAN FIND THEM BECAUSE OF THE FOG THAT'S LIFTED A BIT BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

DON'T GET WRAPPED UP IN THE MOMENT.

THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT.

>> I THINK IT CAN SPEAK VOLUME FOR THE SECOND 24 MINUTES.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

HOW CAN THE DEFENSE MAKE A STATEMENT OUT OF THE GATE?

>> FORCE A TURNOVER.

WE SAW FORCING DANIELLES INTO A POLICE TAKE AND A GREAT INTERCEPTION WHERE YOU DIDN'T SEE THE DEFENSIVE BACK ON THE RUTS.

FORCED HIM INTO A POLICE TAKE.

THEY DO THE SAME THING WHEN IT COMES TO THE AIR RAID WE HAVE SEEN FROM LANGSTON HUGHES.

>> GOOD STUFF.

SO GLAD THE BETHER IS LOOKING BETTER FOR YOU THERE OVER AT CENTER PARK STADIUM.

THAT WILL DO IT FOR OUR HALFTIME SHOW.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK.

THE SECOND HALF OF OUR 6A TITLE GAME BETWEEN LANGSTON HUGHES AND BUFORD IS COMING UP.

>>> WE DON'T HAVE JOHN YET.

I WOULD LOVE TO DISCUSS THE TALENT OUT THERE ON THE FIELD.

WE TALK ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE ALL STAR THAT'S OUR ALL STATE TEAM.

JOHN, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT STELLAR TALENT OUT THERE ON THE FIELD.

BUFORD, 26 PLAYERS ON THEIR ROSTER WITH COLLEGIATE OFFERS.

>> YEAH, THAT'S THE NORM FOR BUFORD, FRANKLY.

WHEN YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE OFFERS WHEN YOU WIN.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WIN, REGARDLESS OF LEVEL, FOLKS WILL COME AFTER YOU.

IT'S FUNNY THE YEAR THEY DEPARTMENTS WIN A REGION TITLE, THEY WON STATE IN THOSE YEARS.

IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE HOW BUFORD HAS EVOLVED.

IT'S WILD THEY ARE BEING 40-3 IN HIS THIRD SEASON.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU WIN.

PEOPLE FIND YOU.

YOU HAVE PLAYERS ON THE GPB ALL STARS.

YOU HAVE FOLKS GOING TO CONFERENCES.

>> THANKS SO MUCH.

WE HOPE THAT YOU GUYS FIND US OVER ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

THERE'S MANY WAYS TO KEEP UP US WITH VIA TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM.

WE'RE STREAMING THE GAME OVER ON FACEBOOK LIVE.

DOWNLOAD OUR GPB SPORTS APP.

USE THAT HASHTAG GPB SPORTS.

COMING UP, IT'S THE SECOND HALF OF OUR 6A TITLE GAME.

SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE.

KEEP IT RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

WAYNE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE SAW IN THE FIRST 24 MINUTES.

>> A PHYSICAL BRAND OF FOOTBALL LANGSTON HUGHES BROUGHT TO FIELD.

A LOT OF PENETRATION.

NOT LETTING BUFORD RUN THE BALL AND OFFENSIVELY THEY ARE LETTING ANTONIO MARTIN LIT LINE OF SCRIMMAGE CLEAN.

HE'S RUNNING OVER PEOPLE.

>> IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ADJUSTMENTS BOTH OF THESE COACHES MAKE IN ANTICIPATION FOR WHAT THEY WILL SEE IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> YOU IMAGINE THAT BUFORD WILL TRY TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT LAST DRIVE OF DRIVING THE BALL, BEING PATIENT, TAKE WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES YOU AND NOW CAN LANGSTON HUGHES FINISH THE DEAL.

IMPRESSIVE.

GOES 85 YARDS.

>> GOOD PROTECTION UP FRONT.

BIG ARM DOWN THE FIELD.

SET THE TEMPO.

PLAYING WITH A LOT OF ENERGY AND GETTING ON THE BOARD FIRST.

>> BUFORD HAD SOME MOMENTUM GOING HERE.

IT WAS INTERCEPTED.

ASHTON DANIELS THE FOURTH PICK HE'S THROWN THIS YEAR.

RODNEY SHELLY STEPPED IN FRONT OF THAT.

TOOK IT BACK TO THE 50.

>> CONTINUED IN THAT SECOND QUARTER.

ANTONIO MARTIN SLAMMING HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE.

BUFORD FULL-TIMELY GOT ON THE BOARD.

TIME FOR OUR COACH'S INTERVIEW.

IT'S PRESENTED BY DBHDB AS WE SEND IT BACK TO STADIUM.

>> WE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.

>> WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SLOW DOWN ANTONIO MARTIN?

>> TACKLE HIM.

HE'S GOOD.

WE GOT TO TACKLE HIM LOW AND GET HIM ON THE GROUND.

>> BEST OF LUCK IN THE SECOND HALF.

THANKS.

>> THERE'S NOT A GUY LIKE LIMB.

COACHING 25 PLAYS A PIECE.

WHAT STANDS OUT ON THE STAT.

>> ONLY 48 RUSH YARDS WITH THE KIND OF BACK AND OFFENSIVE LINE THAT THEY HAVE.

YOU IMAGINE THAT WAS THE GOAL TO COME RUN THE BALL.

THEY COULDN'T GET IT DONE IN FIRST HALF.

>> WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE AS WE GET READY FOR THE START OF THE THIRD QUARTER AND LANGSTON HUGHES WILL HAVE THE BALL FIRST.

THAT ONE TURNOVER WAS VERY COSTLY BECAUSE IT LED TO POINTS.

THE INTERCEPTION THAT WAS THROWN REALLY WAS A BIG SWING PLAY TOO.

BUFORD WAS GETTING READY TO SCORE.

DIDN'T.

THAT TURNOVER THAT KEPT HIM FROM SCORING TURNED INTO POINTS FOR LANGSTON HUGHES.

>> LETTING THEM OPERATE.

GETTING HIM BACK ON THE BOARD.

NOW WE HAVE BALL GAME AT 14-7.

SECOND LAUGH KICK OFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES.

>> THE KICK WILL BE TAKEN AT THE 24 YARD LINE.

THAT'S WHERE LANGSTON HUGHES WILL GO ON OFFENSE.

>> BIG KEY HERE IN THE SECOND HALF IS BOTH TEAMS HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO ON LONG DRIVES.

IF YOU GOT A CAPITALIZE, YOU GET THE BALL IN THIS SECOND HALF.

CAN'T LOOK UP AT THE SCOREBOARD BECAUSE EACH TEAM CAN GO ON A 8-10 PLAY DRIVE AND EAT UP THE CLOCK.

CAN BUFORD FIND ANY PHYSICALITY THAT MIGHT MATCH THIS RUN GAME.

>> PRENTISS AIR NOLAND.

THOSE WERE HIS NUMBERS IN THE FIRST HALF.

MARTIN.

ONE YARD GAIN.

GREAT PENETRATION THERE.

>> I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SPEECH IN THE FIRST HALF BY COACH APPLING.

HOUSTON AND THAT LINE.

THEY'RE HIT BACK TRYING TO GET IN THE CREASES OF THIS OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> I SAW THE BULL RUSH COMING OFF THE EDGE.

>> BIG OVER THERE.

6'7".

THE TECHNIQUE IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU TALL TACKLE.

>> THERE WAS NO FLAG ON THE PLAY BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE A HOLD.

>> HE'S LOOKING FOR THE FLAG HIMSELF.

>> 3rd DOWN AND 9.

>> IT'S INCOMPLETE.

P. >> MESSING ON THE QUARTERBACK SACK THERE.

NICE JOB BY PRENTISS.

STEPPING OUT OF THE PRESSURE.

GIVING HIS RECEIVER A CHANCE.

HE COULDN'T FIND THE BALL.

COULDN'T MAKE A PLAY ON IT.

>> LOOKED LIKE HE MISJUDGED THE CATCH.

HE PULLED HIS ARMS IN BEFORE THE BALL GOT THERE.

IT PLAY HAVE BEEN FOG.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THICK THE FOG IS.

IT LOOKED LIKE SOME TIME IN FIRST HALF IT LIGHTENED UP.

LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED TO THICKEN UP AGAIN LIKE WE HAD IN OUR 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

PUNT.

STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR.

IT'S NOT A GOOD ONE.

IT DOES TAKE A GREAT HUGE BOUNCE AND STAY INBOUNDS ROLLING DEAD AT THE 43 YARD LINE.

THEY CATCH A BREAK RIGHT THERE ON THAT PUNT BY MIKE WATSON AS IT ENDS UP GOING 32 YARDS.

HALF OF THAT ON THE BOUNCE.

>> JAKE POPE CAME UP AS HE WAS GOING TO FEEL THE BALL.

ALABAMA COMMIT.

YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE THE FOG MAY BE PLAYING TRICKS ON THESE GUYS AS THIS HALF CONTINUES.

>> REMEMBER, LAST TWO STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES ASHTON DANIELS HAS COME IN OFF THE BENCH.

HE'S PRETTY MUCH -- HE'S TAKEN ONE SNAP.

HE LED HIS TEAM FROM BEHIND TO AN OVERTIME VICTORY.

>> GOOD BLOCKING.

NICE JOB.

THE GUARD PULLING AROUND TO THE KICK OFF BLOCK.

>> HIS SIXTH CARRY OF THE BALL GAME.

THEY ROTATE THOSE GUYS IN.

IT'S A WHAT BUFORD DOES AND GETS STOPPED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

MAKING THE STOP FOR PANTHERS.

>> NICE JOB THERE BY ANDREZ JNZ -- JOHNSON.

THEY CAN COUNTED UPON TO MAKE PLAYS.

SO FAR THEY ARE MAKING THEM.

>> 2nd DOWN AND 9.

>> LOOKS LIKE IT'S CREEPING IN HEAVIER NOW.

STEP IN THERE AND PLAY.

TOOKES MADE THE TACKLE.

FLAG ON THE FIELD.

>> NICE BY THE DEFENSIVE LINE.

THIS IS PANTHERS DEFENSE.

>> IN ORDER TO FOOL THEM YOU HAVE TO LET HIM THROW THE BALL.

>> Referee: HOLDING.

>> DANIELS UNDER A RUSH.

JOSH HORTON.

THE THREE STAR DEFENSIVE END WHO HAS FIVE OFFERS INCLUDING THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS.

>> NICE MOOD THERE.

YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF MOVE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.

YOU SEE A LOT OF SPEED RUSHES, INSIDE MOVES THEY ARE USING THE MOVE AT 6'5" TO GET OVER THE TACKLE.

>> 3rd DOWN AND 20.

>> DANIELS GUNS IT.

WHAT A CATCH FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

JAKE POPE.

SPECTACULAR CATCH GOING PARALLEL TO THE GROUND TO HOLD IT IN.

>> BIG PLAY JAKE IN THE FALL.

CATCHING A STRIKE LIKE A CATCHER HERE.

GOOD JOB.

CATCHING THAT AT THE TAIL END AND DRAGGING IT IN.

BIG STRIKE GOING IN BETWEEN THREE DEFENDERS THERE IS ASHTON DANIEL.

>> 1st AND 10.

BALL INSIDE THE 35.

>> WE'RE ALMOST HALFWAY THROUGH THIS THIRD QUARTER.

BUFORD STILL SEEMS TO HAVE A LITTLE HESITATION OF DIALING UP THE RUN.

SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE USING THE RUN VERY SPARINGLY.

IT DOES NOT CONTINUALLY RUN THE BALL DOWN ONCE AGAIN.

>> THEY HAVE NOT GONE AWAY TO KJ.

SAW AN MOTIONAL PLAY RIGHT THERE.

3rd DOWN AND 2.

>> POWER SET IN THERE AND THE FIRST DOWNGOING DO BE CLOSE TO IT ON THE RUN.

MIKE WATSON MAKING THAT TACKLE IN THE MIKE LINEBACKER SPOT.

>> 1st AND 10.

NOSING UP TO THAT 34 YARD LINE.

DOUBLE MOVE.

INSIDE THE 10-YARD LINE.

>> QUICK.

>> NICE ROUTE.

>> GET INSIDE TOOKES HERE.

>> TIME OUT.

>> ISAIAH BOND WITH THE QUICKNESS.

IT'S A LOT OF TALENT IN THE RECEIVING CORE.

>> THAT'S PAUL DOWN ON THE GROUND.

HE'S GOT 16 OFFERS.

HE'S PICKED UP MICHIGAN AND LAKE FOREST ALONG THE WAY.

>> ONLY A JUNIOR.

VERY ATHLETIC.

FINALLY GETTING A LITTLE RECOGNITION.

>> WE HAVE BLIND SQUIRRELS HERE IN GEORGIA.

SOUTHERN FLYING SQUIRRELS.

THIS TIME OF YEAR CRITTERS LOVE TO GET IN OUR ATTICS.

THAZ WERE GOING TO THE LOCKER ROOM, THEY CAME AND SAID THAT 65 KID, HE'S GOT ALL THE TOOLS.

HE'S GOING TO BE THE NEXT GREAT ONE.

>> GAINING SOME WEIGHT.

ALL THE INTANGIBLES.

NEXT YEAR HE'S GOING TO BE HIGH ON THE RECRUITING LIST JUST BY SIZE ALONE.

NICE STOP AND GO HERE BY CJ CLINKSCALES.

HE WAS GOING INSIDE AND USE THAT BURST OF SPEED TO GET ON THAT EDGE SETTING UP 1st AND GOAL.

2nd AND GOAL FROM THE ONE.

>> BUFORD TRYING TO MAKE CON SEC -- CONSECUTIVE TOUCHDOWNS AND EVEN THE SCORE.

HOW ABOUT RODNEY SHELL LOW COMING UP FROM HIS SECONDARY SPOT.

>> BEAUTIFUL INTERCEPTION EARLY AND HERE PLAYING THAT SAFETY, THE SHOULDER PADS, STOPPING CLINKSSCALES IF HIS TRACK.

>> 3rd DOWN AND GOAL FROM THE ONE.

QUARTERBACK KEEPER.

THAT'S A TOUCHDOWN.

DIDN'T BLOCK.

HE PUSHED.

>> YOU CAN'T HELP BUT GO FORWARD HERE.

NUMBER 33 JUST GOING TO DRIVE.

HE'S DRIVING THE SLED, PUSHING ASHTON DANIELS INTO THE END ZONE.

GIVING HIS TEAM A CHANCE TO EVEN THE SCORE HERE LATE IN THIS THIRD QUARTER.

>> EVEN THE SNAPPER HAS OFFERS.

JOE MILLER OFFERED BY EAST TENNESSEE STATE.

14-14.

BUFORD, CONSECUTIVE TOUCHDOWN DRIVES.

ONE ON THEIR FIRST POSSESSION OF THE SECOND HALF.

>>> IT'S A TIE GAME.

I'M JOINED BY ONE OF THE FACES OF SOUTH FULTON FOOTBALL.

TONIGHT YOU'RE KNOWN AS A HIGH SCHOOL TEAMMATE OF HUGHES HEAD COACH.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT PLAYING WITH HIM IN HE'S A WIDE RECEIVER.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT HIM?

>> THE BEST SET OF HANDS EVER.

>> TELL ME ABOUT THE TRIP TO THE FINALS.

DID YOU THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLE AT THE START OF THE SEASON?

>> WE TALK ABOUT OUR GOALS.

I TOLD HIM, WE PLAYED HIM IN THE SPRING.

I SAID IF Y'ALL DO WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO, YOU'LL BE PLAYING LESS THAN TEN GAMES TOO.

THEY PUT A LOT OF HARD WORK IN.

HE GOT A GOOD GROUP OF KID, GOOD COACHES.

HE REPRESENT REAL WELL REACHING THE SEMIFINAL.

>> OUR MAN MO DIXON.

THEY MADE IT TO THE SEMIFINALS BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY THE TEAM WE'LL SEE TOMORROW IN THE 5A STATS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TAING AN CALHOUN.

>> COACH BOON WITH GREAT HANDS.

NOW HIS SON JUST WRAPPED UP HIS JUNIOR SEASON.

HE'S ONE OF THE TOP RUNNING BACKS IN THE COUNTRY.

IT'S GOING BE CAUGHT IN THE FOG BY SHELLY.

NICE JOB TO DELIVER THAT BALL.

>> PRETTY SURE IT'S NOT MY GLASSES.

THE FOG IS GETTING THICKER.

>> LEFT GUARD, RIGHT GUARD AND FREEMAN PULLING.

NICE JOB OUT IN SPACE.

MIDDLE OF THAT SECOND QUARTER, YOU FEEL LIKE HE'S LETTING HIS DEFENSE OFF THE HOOK.

>> MARTIN 16 CARRIES FOR 102.

IT'S HIS SIXTH 10 YARD RUSHING GAME OF THE SEASON.

HE COMMITTED TO GEORGIA TECH IN FEBRUARY.

OVER 11 OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING ALABAMA.

REMEMBER WHEN HE COMMITTED TO GEORGIA TECH, HE WAS COMING OFF THAT BROKEN LEG THAT HAD COST HIM MOST OF HIS JUNIOR SEASON.

>> THIS GIVES US A BETTER VIEW BECAUSE OF FOG.

>> NOLAND WILL TAKE A SACK.

>> NICE JOB BY VICTOR.

COULDN'T FIND WHAT HE WANTED DOWN THE FIELD.

GETTING OFF THE BLOCK NUMBER SEVEN THERE TO BRING LIMB UP ON THAT SACK.

>> 3rd DOWN AND 8.

PASS OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE.

THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN FOR LANGSTON HUGHES AT THE 50-YARD LINE.

NICE JOB.

LONG THROW THE GET THAT BALL OUT THERE.

NICE HANDS AS WELL.

>> 1st AND 10 FOR LANGSTON HUGHES.

TRYING TO ANSWER THE BUFORD TOUCHDOWN HERE AS WE NOW HAVE LESS THAN TWO MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE 3rd QUARTER.

>> BEAUTIFUL PULL NUMBER 63 GETTING AROUND, KICKING OUT.

SHOULDERS SWEAR AND WE SEEN WHEN HE HITS THAT LINE OF SCRIMMAGE CLEAN, IT'S A 6, 7, 8 YARD GAME FOR HIM IN THIS DEFENSE JUST CANNOT BRING HIM DOWN ON HIS INITIAL HIT.

>> THEIR NUMBERS SINCE THE OPENING TWO DRIVES.

PASS IS COMPLETE.

>> BEAUTIFUL PULL ONCE AGAIN.

KICK OUT BLOCK ON NATHAN NORYS.

ANTONIO MARTIN COMING UP BIG AND THERE'S LANGSTON HUGHES OFFENSE GETTING BACK AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

>> GONZALEZ.

HE GETS IT UP AND IN, I THINK.

DID HE MISS IT?

I CAN'T SEE.

IF OFFICIALS ARE SIGNALING THAT HE MISSED IT WIDE RIGHT.

>> GOING UP TOUCHED.

JUST UNCHARACTERISTIC DEFENSE BY BUFORD.

>> GOOD BLOCKING.

GOOD SCHEME.

BEAUTIFUL RUN.

>> THAT WAS A BIG LOSS FOR THEM THIS SEASON.

BE IN POSITION TO PERHAPS WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

ONE QUARTER AWAY FROM THAT.

GOING SIDEWAYS.

HE GETS STOPPED.

>> NOT ABLE TO GET BEHIND THE BLOCKING SOON ENOUGH AND BEING CHASED DOWN THERE BY XAVIER LEONARD OUT IN THE OPEN FIELD.

>> THE STAGE IS SET FOR ANOTHER BUFORD COME BACK OR PERHAPS A LANGSTON HUGHES UPSET VICTORY.

BUFORD HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION THE LAST TWO YEARS IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WINNING BOTH OF THEM IN OVERTIME.

>> WE HAVE COMPLETED 36 MINUTES IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.

THE 6A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME COMING DOWN TO THE FOURTH QUARTER.

WE'RE HEADED THERE NOW WITH LANGSTON HUGHES ON TOP, 20-14.

MACHINE .

ONE MORE DAY TO GO.

WE'LL START NOON ON SATURDAY.

TAKES ON CARVER ATLANTA OUT OF THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

SHEDDING THE BLOCK.

THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT WATCHING HIM PLAY TONIGHT.

GETS OFF BLOCK, HAS TREMENDOUS SPEED AND HE'S A GOOD TACK.

>> HE HAS TEN TACKLES TONIGHT.

THERE HE IS AGAIN.

WATCHING THAT SERIES YELLOWSTONE.

HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THEM COWBOYS.

SG HE CAN DO WELL IN THE RODEO.

HE'S GOT THE TECHNIQUE DOWN.

3rd DOWN AND 8.

>> NOBODY'S OPEN.

BUMPS IT ACROSS THE MID -- MIDDLE.

IT WAS NEARLY INTERCEPTED BY THAT MAN, MICHAEL WATSON.

>> INITIALLY NO PRESSURE.

HE KNOWS HE MISSED THE INTERCEPTION THERE.

PRESSURE COMING.

KEEPING HIS EYES DOWN FIELD.

TRYING TO GET THAT BALL TO ELI PARKS.

NOT SURE HOW HE MISSED MICHAEL WATSON SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, 6'3", 220.

HE'S GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT I ALMOST HAD THAT ONE ALL NIGHT LONG.

>> DANIELS PUNTS INTO THE FOG.

IT'S GOING TO BE RETURNED FROM THE 30 YARD LINE.

THAT'S WHERE LANGSTON HUGHES GOES BACK ON OFFENSE.

ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST OFFENSIVE POSSESSIONS OF THE SEASON COMING UP WHEN WE GET BACK.

>>> 1st AND 10 FOR LANGSTON HUGHES.

BALL AT THE 29. .

CALL THIS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OFFENSIVE POSSESSIONS OF THE SEASON.

REALLY PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON BUFORD IF THEY CAN DO THAT.

>> RUNNING WITH A LOT OF CONVICTION RIGHT HERE.

ANTONIO MARTIN.

A LOT OF CONGESTION OUT HERE ON THE EDGE.

JUST POWERING THROUGH IT ALL.

KEEPING HIS BALANCE.

JUST RUMBLING THROUGH THIS DEFENSE ONCE AGAIN.

WE CAN SEE HIM MOVING TO THE SIDELINE FOR A SECOND.

>> 160 YARDS RUSHING MANY THIS GAME FOR ANTONIO MARTIN ON 21 CARRIES.

2nd DOWN AND 3.

>> 5'9", 190.

YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE POWER BETWEEN HIM AND MARTIN RIGHT THERE.

NICE TACKLE.

THIS IS A BIG 3rd DOWN.

ANTONIO MARTIN MAKING HIMSELF AVAILABLE BACK OUT ON THE FIELD.

GIVE HIM THE OPTION OF GETTING DOWNHILL ON 3rd AND 1.

>> THAT'S ANOTHER TWO MINUTES OFF THE CLOCK, MINIMUM.

>> MARTIN, DID HE GET THERE.

THAT'S THE QUESTION.

SEE WHERE THEY SPOT IT.

>> HE FELT LIKE THE BALL WAS MARKED.

HE DID WAY FOR THE 1st DOWN AND THAT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT LANGSTON HUGHES WOULD LOVE TO GO ON A SIX, ZEN MINUTE DRIVE HERE AND PUNCH IT IN AND PUT BUFORD IN EVEN MORE PRESSURE TO HAVE TO SCORE.

>> 1st AND 10.

TIME OUT HAS BEEN CALLED.

>> Referee: TIME OUT.

TIME OUT LANGSTON HUGHES.

LANK HUGHES IS CHARGED WITH FIRST TIME OUT.

>> THEY'LL HAVE TWO REMAINING.

WE'LL STEP ASIDE WITH 8:07 TO GO IN THIS 6A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

SGETS THROUGH A COUPLE OF TACKLES AND A BIG PICK UP.

CHECK THE PENALTY PLAY.

>> HOLDING ON THAT BACK END.

JOSH HORTON.

>> Referee: HOLDING.

OFFENSE.

10-YARD PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL.

1st DOWN.

>> NUMBER 8.

RIGHT THERE ACTUALLY.

RIGHT TACKLE.

>> HOLDING CALL IN FOUR MINUTE OFFENSE SITUATION.

HE HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE PLAYS WITH HIS ARM.

>> NOLAND WILL RUN IT THAT TIME.

ONE OF THE RARE TIMES HE'S CUT AND RUN IN THIS GAME.

THAT'S HIS FOURTH CARRY.

7 OF 11 PASSING FOR 93 YARDS IN A TOUCHDOWN.

HE CAME IN AVERAGING JUST OVER 176 YARDS PASSING PER GAME.

THEY'VE RELIED MORE HEAVILY ON THE LEGS AND BODY OF ANTONIO MARTIN TONIGHT.

2nd DOWN AND 19.

MILKING THE CLOCK HERE.

>> LOT OF CONFUSION TRYING TO GET THIS PLAY.

YOU STILL SEE NOLAND TALKING TO THE BACK AND RECEIVERS ABOUT TRYING TO LINE UP.

>> GET IN THE PACK FIELD.

NOTHING DOING FOR HARRIS.

>> HOUSTON MAKING ONE OF THOSE PLAYS WHERE HE ALMOST TAKES THE LAND OFF.

I WOULD LIKE THE SEE LANGSTON HUGHES IN THESE SITUATIONS GET THE PLAY IN AND LET THE QUARTERBACK MANAGE THE CLOCK.

SOMETIMES YOU THROW THE RHYTHM OF THE OFFENSE, HOLING THE PLAY AND THEN GIVE IT TO THEM LATE.

NOW THEY ARE UNDER THAT PRESSURE TO HAVE TO THINK AND MAKE THINGS MOVE.

IT'S BETTER TO GIVE THEM THE PLAY.

LET HIM DECIDE WHEN HE START THE OFFENSE.

>> 3rd AND 21.

>> I KNOW HE DIDN'T WANT TO GET HIM HIT THERE.

INSTEAD OF RUNNING OUT OF BOUNDS KEEP THE CLOCK THERE.

GOOD JOB SAVING THAT BALL THERE.

PICKED THE BALL UP AND GOT OUT ON THE EDGE.

>> NOT A GREAT KICK BY MIKE WATSON BUT A GREAT BOUNCE.

THAT COUNTS TOO.

THAT'S PART OF THE KICK.

IT WORKS.

BUFORD AT THE 25 YARD LINE WITH 5:49 LEFT.

45 YARD KICK.

>> LEAST A COOL CUSTOMER IN THIS SITUATION.

SDPLP HE IS SIDELINE TO SIDELINE.

BIG PHYSICAL, LATE BLOOMER.

SOMEONE IS MISSING OUT ON A GEM OF A LINEBACKER IN MICHAEL WATSON.

>> WE KNOW THE VINEYARD BROTHERS FROM IRWIN COUNTY ARE THERE.

IT'S GOING BE 3rd DOWN NOW.

>> ANDREZ JOHNSON ALONG WITH WATSON MAKING GOOD PLAYS TONIGHT.

GOOD DELIVERY OF THE BALL LEADING THE RECEIVER.

EVEN BETTER TACKLE THERE BY JOHNSON.

>> CLINKSCALES.

STILL MOVING.

THAT WILL BE A NEW FIRST DOIN FOR BUFORD AS THE CLOCK GOES UNDER 5.

HE JUST SUBS OUT.

>> COMING INTO THIS GAME, VICTOR VENN WAS A HOT HAND.

THEY TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT AS THEY GO DURING THE GAME.

THEY WILL PUT MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT THAT POSITION.

>> 1st AND 10, PLAY ACTION.

POPPED UP IN THE AIR OFF OF THE HANDS OF BOB.

>> HE IS TOO TALENTED OF A PLAYER TO MISS THAT STRIKE THERE FROM ASHTON DANIELS.

>> 2nd DOWN AND 10.

>> GREAT JOB BY THE LANGSTON HUGHES DEFENSE RIGHT THERE.

SDPLP GETTING OFF TACKLE.

WORKING DOWN THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE IS 57.

>> 3rd AND 9 FOR THIS GAME IN THE FOG.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE THREE TIME OUTS.

THEY ARE DEFINITELY IN THE MIND SET FOR 4th DOWN TERRITORY AT THIS POINT.

DANIELS ROLLING.

CLOSE TO THE 35.

COMES UP BIG IN CLUTCH TIME.

>> LITTLE ROLL OUT.

GET OUTSIDE THE TRAFFIC.

SQUARE THE SHOULDERS.

BEAUTIFUL DELIVERY ON THE STOP RIGHT THERE.

>> A LITTLE TOSS GOING RIGHT HERE.

>> THEY HAVE TO GO IN REGULATION NOW.

CLINKSCALES HAVING TO REPOSITION LIMS.

>> ELI PARKS.

MULTIPLE BAGS FOR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.

>> GREAT CONFIDENCE.

THEY TRUST HIM JUST AS MUCH.

GOING TO HOME RUN.

>> HE MISSED TOUCHDOWN ERMIER IN THIS GAME.

THEY'RE COMING UP BIG.

GETTING BEHIND THE DEFENSE.

PLAY ACTION FAKE.

LOT OF TIME TO DELIVER THIS BALL.

LET THE PLAY DEVELOP.

COMING UP BIG.

LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE SETTING UP AND GOING THROUGH TWO CHANGE THEIR MIND AND TACK ON THE ONE AND TAKE THE LEAD.

HE DOES.

21-20.

ASHTON DANIELS DOING ASHTON DANIELS KIND OF THING.

CONNECTING WITH TOUCHDOWN STRIKE.

>> OUT ON THE EDGE.

RIGHT UP TO HIS 6'1" SENIOR RECEIVER.

NICE BALL.

BEAUTIFUL CATCH IN THE FOG.

>> WHAT PLAY.

ONCE AGAIN ASHTON DANIEL AS HE HAS DONE THREE CONSECUTIVE SEASONS NOW.

TWICE IN VICTORY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS IS A VICTORY YET.

THIS GAME IS NOT OVER BYFULLY MEANS BUT THREE TIMES IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS DANIELS HAS LED HIS TEAM DOWN THE FIELD FROM BEHIND TO GET THE LEAD, FORCE OVERTIME AND WIN IN OVERTIME AND THIS CASE GET THE LEAD LATE IN REGULATION.

HE WAS 3 FOR 4 FOR 44 YARDS AND THAT TOUCHDOWN PASS WITH 2:55 TO GO.

TWO TIME OUTS.

>> PLENTY OF TIME FOR LANGSTON HUGHES TO DRIVE THIS BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

THE ONE THING WE KNOW IN THIS SITUATION HAVING ATTEMPTED A FIELD GOAL ALL YEARLONG.

>> THE BALL COMES OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.

LET'S SEE WHAT HUGHES IS DO HERE.

I DON'T THINK THEY CAN RUN IT DOWN THE FIELD IN 2:55.

START WITH HAND OFF TO MARTIN.

HE'S IN TROUBLE BACK THERE.

DRIVEN OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> NICE JOB OF STRINGING THIS OUT.

WE HAVE SEEN MARTIN IN THE SAME SITUATION.

HE LEFT THE GAME EARLIER NOT KNOWING WHETHER IT'S HIS KNEE OR HIS ANKLE.

>> DEFENSE UNABLE TO STRING HIM AND PUSH HIM OUT OF BOUNDS.

NOT ABLE TO DO IT RIGHT THERE.

NOLAND SCRAMBSCRAMBLING.

GOING TO RUN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

DROPPED AT THE 35.

HOW ABOUT PRENTISS NOLAND HAD NOT SHOWN US THAT PART OF HIS GAME TONIGHT.

WHAT A TIME TO PULL IT OUT AND PICK UP A FIRST DOWN.

>> 1st AND 10 FROM THE 35.

PRESSURE COMING OFF THE BACK EDGE.

HOUSTON GETS THE QUARTERBACK SACK.

ONCE AGAIN HOUSTON, THE 6'5" SOPHOMORE JUST CONTINUING HIS WORK.

COULDN'T FIND WHAT HE WANTED.

NOT GIVING HIM ENOUGH TIME TO DELIVER THE BALL IS HOUSTON.

>> HE'S GOING TO BE AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER HIS SENIOR YEAR.

MARTIN CAME IN AND CHECKED BACK OUT.

NOLAND.

ANOTHER QUARTERBACK SACK AS BUFORD BRINGS THE HEAT.

PAUL'S BROTHER GETS THE QBS BACK TO BACK QUARTERBACK SACKS AND NOW LANGSTON HUGHES IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

>> BEAUTIFUL MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE.

>> NICE JOB JUST BEATING THE GUARD THERE TO GET THAT PRESSURE.

>> 6'2", 240.

HE WANTS TO END HIS CAREER HERE AT BUFORD WITH A RING AS WELL.

>> HOUSTON.

AND MUBENGA BACK TO BACK.

HUGHES IS DOWN TO THEIR FINAL TIME OUT.

>> WORKING THE POCKET, GETTING OFF THE BLOCK.

NO TIME FOR PRENTISS TO FIND A RECEIVER.

>> HISTORIC SEASON.

THEY HAVE GONE FURTHER THAN EVER BEFORE IN THE SCHOOL'S BRIEF HISTORY.

ON THE BIG STAGE THEY HAD BUFORD PLAYING FROM BEHIND MOST OF THE MIGHT BUT NOW IT'S LANGSTON HUGHES BACKS AGAINST THE WALL ON 3rd AND 19.

NOLAND STANDS IN THERE.

INCOMPLETE BROKEN UP.

TRYING TO GET IT TO STHELLY RIGHT THERE.

THERE IS FLAG DOWN.

TLP IS A FLAG DOWN.

>> Referee: 15 YARD PENALTY.

REPLAY, 3rd DOWN.

>> NOW IT'S 3rd DOWN AND 4.

>> GOT TO MAKE PLAY ON THE BALL.

CAN'T JUST MAKE PLAY ON THE PLAYER.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK BACK FOR THE BALL THERE.

PENALTY FLAG WAS DROPPED.

NOW IT'S 3rd DOWN AND 4.

A TIME OUT HAS BEEN CALLED BY BUFORD HERE.

>> GOING TO SETTLE THE DEFENSE DOWN.

MAKE SURE THEY STILL UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.

>> Referee: TIME OUT.

BOOUFL.

>> I ASK YOU, I PUT YOU IN THE HEADSET WITH OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ON 3rd DOWN AND 4.

YOU GOT SEVERAL ISSUES IN PLAY HERE.

YOU WANT TO GET THAT 1st DOWN BUT YOUR BEST BET TO GET A 1st DOWN IF MARTIN IS OUT THERE TO RUN HIM.

THAT WILL EAT UP MORE TIME.

DO YOU RUN THE BALL HERE ON 3rd AND 4 OR DO YOU PASS FOR THE DOWN.

>> GET THIS DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO GO INTO YOUR PLAY BOOK FOR WHAT THAT IS IN THIS SITUATION.

THIS IS WHAT YOU PRACTICE ABOUT.

YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION.

RIGHT NOW THE WAY TO PRENTISS IS MOVE.

HE'S NICE TO GET HIM ON MOVE AND GIVE HIM THE OPTION TO RUN FOR THIS 1st DOWN AN GET AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE OF HOUSTON AND THOSE GUYS IN THE MIDDLE.

>> YOU SEE THE NUMBER ON THEIR KICKER.

HE'S NOT ATTEMPTED A FIELD GOAL THIS SEASON.

>> THIS WOULD BE A TOUGH SPOT TO TRY YOUR FIRST.

>> MARTIN IS BACK IN THE GAME IN THE BACK FIELD.

>> HE PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN.

>> HE GOT STOPPED SHORT AT THE 44.

I THOUGHT HIS BODY LEAN AND THE BALL GOT CLOSER TO THE 45 BUT THE SIDE OFFICIAL STEPS IN AND SPOTS THE BALL AT THE 44.

>> THE CLOCK IS RUNNING.

LANGSTON HUGHES, YOU HAVE A DECISION RIGHT HERE.

GO BACK TO PARTICULAR TIN, PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.

>> OR GAME OVER.

>> HAND OFF.

MARTIN GOT HIT IN BACK FEED AND STRUGGLES FORWARD AND HE GOT THE 1st DOWN.

THAT WILL STOP THE CLOCK MOMENTARILY TO MOVE THE CHAINS.

YOU GOT TO GET UP TO THE LINE AND CLOCK IT HERE.

JUST TO STOP THE CLOCK.

AS SOON AS THEY GET THE CHAINS SET AND THEY RESTART THE CLOCK WHICH THEY HAVE DONE, YOU GOT TO CLOCK IT HERE.

>> I'M NOT SURE THAT LANGSTON HUGHES UNDERSTANDS THE CLOCK IS RUNNING.

EITHER CALL A TIME OUT OR CALL A PLAY.

TAKING A LOT OF TIME TO GET THIS PLAYOFF.

>> NOW YOU GOT TO TAKE A DEEP SHOT DOWN FIELD.

NOLAND DIRECTING TRAFFIC.

JUMP BALL.

A FLAG IS OUT ON THE PAST TARGETED FOR ARMANI TOOKES.

REMEMBER IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL THESE ARE NOT SPOT ON THE FIELD FOULS.

THE BALL'S NOT COMING DOWN TO THE 7 YARD LINE.

>> HE'S DOWN THE FIELD, 21.

MAKING A PLAY FOR THE PAL.

HE HAS HIS HEAD AROUND.

NOT BAD COVERAGE.

HE SEES THE BALL.

LET'S SEE IF HE GETS THERE.

NOT A LOT OF CONTACT.

NOT A LOT OF INTERFERENCE RIGHT THERE.

COULD HAVE WENT EITHER WAY IN THAT SITUATION.

>> 15 SECS.

THEY GET AN ADDITIONAL 15 YARDS SO THE BALL IS ON THE 40 YARD LINE.

THIS IS CERTAINLY WITHIN THE RANGE OF NOLAND BEING ABLE TO PUT IT INTO THE END ZONE HERE.

>>.

>> STILL NOT SURE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

HE'S NOT IN.

THEY DO HAVE ONE TIME OUT AND WORK ANYWHERE ON THE FIELD.

NOLAND FIRES.

IT'S CAUGHT AT THE 20.

GOT TO GET OUT OF BOUNDS AND THEY DO.

WHAT A BIG TIME PLAY RIGHT THERE TO THURMAN AND NOW WITH SEVEN SECONDS, YOU ARE IN RANGE TO PICK A SHOT AT THE END ZONE AND WIN THIS GAME.

>> NICE FIND THERE BY PRENTISS NOLAND GROWING UP IN THIS SECOND HALF.

THROWING THE BALL.

STILL HAVE THE TIME OUT IN THEIR POCKET.

>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S IN THE PLAY BOOK HERE.

I THINK THEY ARE GOING FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

AND BUFORD WILL CALL A TIME OUT.

I THINK IF YOU'RE LANGSTON HUGHES, YOU GOT TO PLAY THIS PLAY LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST.

>> TIME OUT.

>> COACH BOONE, YOU GOT TO GET INTO YOUR QUARTERBACKS HERE RIGHT HERE AND LET HIM UNDERSTAND HE ONLY HAS SEVEN SECONDS.

WE'RE GOING TO DIAL UP THE PAST, YOU FIND YOURSELF IN TROUBLE.

HIT THE FAN IN THE LOWER ROW WITH THE BALL AND GET THE TIME OUT IN THIS SITUATION.

YOU CAN'T BE BACK THERE SCRAMBLING AROUND AND GET SACKED.

>> I THINK THE ONLY WAY IN THIS SITUATION THAT THEY ATTEMPT A FIELD GOAL IS IF THEY GET IT INSIDE THE TEN YARD LINE.

>> WHICH WOULD BE FIRST FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT OF THE YEAR.

YOU CALL A TIME OUT THEN MAYBE THAT'S AN OPTION.

OTHERWISE, I DON'T THINK IF YOU'RE COACH WILLIAMS HERE YOU'RE TAKING A SHOT AT THE END ZONE AND YOU'RE PLAYING THIS LIKE IT'S YOUR FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME.

NOLAND UP TOP.

INCOMPLETE.

THREE SECONDS LEFT.

>> NO ONE ON THE SIDELINE FOR LANGSTON HUGHES IS WARMING UP FOR A FIELD GOAL.

ONE LAST PLAY.

>> Referee: TIME OUT.

>> COACH BOON.

MADE A POINT THAT THE GONZALEZ JOB -- IN THIS CASE HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP BIG FOR HIS TEAM.

>> CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PRESSURE.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE FINAL PLAY.

>> A LONG PAT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN HITTING SO FAR.

THAT'S WHAT'S IN YOUR JOB TO THINK OF AS THE LONG PAT IN THIS SITUATION.

>> 35 YARDS AND BUFORD WILL USE A TIME OUT HERE TO ICE IT.

>> MAKE HIM THINK ABOUT IT JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER.

>> TIME OUT.

>> I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW KICKER PROTOCOL HERE.

>> I THINK USUALLY YOU WANT TO STAY OUT IT HAVE THE KICKER'S HAND.

DON'T TELL HIM YOU CAN DO IT.

>> THERE'S NO CONVERSATION.

HE NEEDS TO BE IN FIELD AND WORK HIMSELF THROUGH THIS PROBLEM.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE PEP TALK MOMENTS FOR A FIELD GOAL KICKER.

THAT'S NOT HOW THEY OPERATE.

YOU DON'T NOT MEAN THAT IT WILL TURN AGAINST YOU TO TALK TO HIM BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY HOW THEY WORK.

A BIG MOMENT HERE NOR THIS YOUNG MAN.

>> FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

KICK IS GOING TO BE NO GOOD.

BUFORD, THE STATE CHAMPIONS FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND THE 13th TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

>> I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF JOY.

A TOUGH SITUATION FOR THAT YOUNG MAN TO HAVE TO TRY TO DO.

SDPLP I LOVE TO SEE HIS TEAMMATES ARE LOVING HIM UP THERE AND HUGGING HIM.

HE WAS PUT IN REALLY IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.

THAT'S A TOUGH KICK FOR AN EXPERIENCED KICKER.

BUFORD, 21-20 WINNERS OVER LANGSTON HUGHES.

SOMEBODY JUMPED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LINE.

BUFORD WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN.

21-20 BE FINAL.

>> THREE YEARS AS A HEAD COACH.

THREE TIME STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

ROLLING THE DICE.

HOPING TO COME UP WITH SEVEN.

IN THIS CASE JUST THREE TO WIN THIS GAME.

>> 1st COACH IN GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS IN EACH OF HIS FIRST THREE SEASONS.

>> HE'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLAY OF THE GAME.

SHARE WITH YOUR BESTIE.

WE TAKE YOU BACK TO THREE MINUTES JUST UNDER THAT TO PLAY IN REGULATION AND ASHTON DANIELS GETTING IT DONE AGAIN.

30-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS TO TOBI OLAWOLE.

>> BEAUTIFUL PASS.

BIG TIME CATCH BY TOBI OLAWOLE TO PUT THEIR TEAM UP AND SEAL THE VICTORY.

>> ON THE CELL PHONE PROBABLY HUNTING DOWN HIS FAMILY.

GOING DOWN HERE AND LET'S CELEBRATE.

ASHTON DANIELS, WHAT A CAREER.

CAPPING IT AGAIN.

GIVING A BIG HUG.

FAMILY CELEBRATING HIS FINAL HIGH SCHOOL GAME WITH THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THE PLAR OF THE GAME.

14-20.

THAT ONE TOUCHDOWN BEING THE GAME WINNER AND HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN.

LET'S SEND IT TO JOHN NELSON.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THE BUFORD WOLVES OVER TO GET THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO SAY A TREMENDOUS EFFORT TO OUR FRIENDS FROM LANGSTON HUGHES.

GREAT WORK FROM LANGSTON HUGHES TONIGHT.

TAKING BUFORD TO THE VERY, VERY END.

GREAT WORK THIS YEAR.

GREAT SUPPORT FROM THE PROGRAM.

GREAT HONOR AND WE GIVE YOU -- THIS IS THE THIRD ONE.

CONGRATULATIONS COACH.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME YOU'RE HERE, YOU RUN THE FIELD.

>> IT'S OKAY TO START BREATHING AGAIN.

THEY TOOK YOU TO THE WALL.

>> THEY DID.

I THINK THEY HAVE IMPROVED SO MUCH.

IT'S GOT TO BE GAME.

OUR KIDS STOOD UP.

>> AT THE SAME TIME THAT SPEAKS TO THE CHARACTER OF THIS BUNCH BEING IN AN UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY.

>> IT DOES.

14-0 IN THE HALFTIME AND FOUND A WAY TO COME BACK.

IT'S NOT HARD.

WE ONLY HAVE SEVEN POINTS.

THEY ONLY HAVE 14.

I SAID LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT THESE KIDS.

ME AND THESE KIDS.

IT'S ABOUT THE FANS UP THERE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS AND WE LOVE YOU GUYS.

>> ONCE AGAIN SEEMS LIKE IN THE 4th QUARTER, ASHTON DANIELS SHOWS UP AND GIVES YOU THE GAME.

THE GAME WIPING SCORE.

>> YOU GOT A RED SHIRT.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM.

FROM A SOPHOMORE TO A JUNIOR TO A SENIOR, HE DOES IT AGAIN.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HIM.

THE WAY THEY TREAT ME AND COACH HIM AND GROW HIM UP, I CAN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER.

>> GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE WALL.

YOU COME OUT WITH A WIN.

21-20, BUFORD WOLVES, CHAMPIONS AGAIN.

MATT, WE'LL HAVE MORE REACTION COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANOTHER INCREDIBLE WIN.

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME BUFORD GETS TO THIS STAGE, IT GOES DOWN TO THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME.

THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR IT'S GONE DOWN TO THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME.

HOW MANY TEAMS CAN SAY THEY WON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME THREE STRAIGHT YEARS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THEIR ABILITY TO COME UP WITH THE BIG PLAY IS UNBELIEVABLE.

>> THEY'RE SO COOL IN THOSE SITUATIONS.

IT STARTS WITH ASH ON THE DANIELLES.

THREE YEARS.

THREE SPECTACULAR MOMENTS FOR HIM TAKING HOME THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE BUFORD WOLVES.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY TONIGHT.

THAT YOUNG MAN WITH SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

STILL SEEMS LIKE HE'S GROWING AND GETTING BETTER.

HEADED OUT TO STANFORD TO START HIS COLLEGE YEAR.

CAREER.

>> GOING TO STANFORD CARDINALS.

THERE'S A LOT OF QUARTERBACKS IN NATION THAT ARE RATED HIGHER.

I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE AND SAID IT WITH YOU BEFORE, I BELIEVE FOUR, FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, ASHTON DANIELS WILL GET HIS SHOT IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

>> HE'S 6'3", HE'S 210.

HE SEEMS TO HAVE ALL THE INTANGIBLES YOU WANT IN A LEADER.

HIS HARM KEEPS IMPROVING YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

>> JUST LOVE HIS COOL NATURE AND HOW NOTHING EVER RATTLES THE KID BY EVIDENCE THAT HE IS LED BUFORD TO THREE STATE STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS.

HE'S BEEN THE CENTER PIECE IN EACH ONE OF THOSE TITLES.

NOW BACK TO NELLY STANDING BY WITH OUR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME.

>> TAKE ME THROUGH THE LAST DRIVE AND THE TOUCHDOWN PASS.

SDPLP I HAD TRUSTED MY GUYS TLOUTS THE DRIVE.

I KNEW MY LINE WAS GOING TO GIVE ME GREAT PROTECTION.

>> LANGSTON HUGHES HAD YOU GUYS ON YOUR HEELS.

WHAT WERE THEY DOING THAT WAS FORCES YOU TO HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY?

>> THEY GAVE US A BIT OF PROBLEM.

WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO HIT THEM ON SOME MID ROUTE STUFF.

WE TRUSTED IT AND MADE A JUDGMENT.

>> STATE CHAMP.

STATE CHAMP.

STATE CHAMP.

SDPLP THIS IS TURNING INTO SOMETHING NORMAL.

WHAT HAS THIS RIDE BEEN LIKE FOR YOU?

>> IT'S BEEN AMAZING.

I CAN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER.

WE CAME IN.

WE WERE THE GLUE TO ALL THREE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

>> I'M ONLY SAD BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAST TIME WE GET TO SEE ASHTON DANIELS PLAY ON THIS STAGE.

WHAT A PLEASURE IT HAS BEEN TO WATCH HIM AND WATCH THIS PROGRAM.

YOU HEARD THE COMMENTS.

THEY GOT THEM BACK TO WHERE BUFORD THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE AND THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT'S WHERE THEY BELONG WINNING THEIR 14 STATE TITLE HERE TONIGHT.

>> PROGRAM AND THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THEY HAVE.

THEY FIND WAY TO WIN.

THEIR GUYS ARE OKAY MAKING THE SACRIFICES FOR THE TEAM TO WIN.

THIS TEAM IS THE EMBESIDEMENT OF CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE STATE.

>> THREE MORE GAMES COMING UP TOMORROW.
