THE FOURTH GAME OF THE DAY.

THE FIRST ONE WITH HELMETS AND PADS.

THE CLASS A PRIVATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND IT'S A REMATCH OF THE SAME GAME WE SAW LAST YEAR HERE IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.

WHAT AN EXCITING GAME THIS IS GOING TO BE.

TRINITY CHRISTIAN VERSUS PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

THE LIONS OUT OF RENALON FOUR UNDEFEATED.

THE WOLVERINES AT 13-1.

COMING TO YOU LIVE MOMENTS AWAY AT CENTER PARK STADIUM IN ATLANTA.

AND WE'RE THRILLED TO BE BACK WITH YOU AS WELL.

LARRY SMITH AND MY FRIEND LARRY.

SAME TIME NEXT YEAR.

HERE WE ARE.

>> IT'S THAT TIME, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT GETTING TO THE 15th GAME OF THE SEASON.

ONLY 16 TEAMS ACTUALLY GET THERE.

WE GOT TWO OF THEM RIGHT NOW.

AND THE SAME TWO WE HAD ON THIS GAME LAST YEAR.

>> THIS WAS SUCH AN EXCITING GAME LAST YEAR.

GET READY, GET YOUR POPCORN READY.

THIS SHOULD BE EXCITING.

A LOT OF POINTS.

IT WAS 41-21 I BELIEVE LAST YEAR.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LOT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A SPECIAL NUMBER THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON RIGHT NOW.

NOW AS I MENTIONED THIS IS OUR FOURTH GAME OF THE DAY.

WE'VE ALREADY HAD THREE GAMES ALREADY IN PLACE.

LET'S TELL YOU ABOUT THOSE.

THE FLAG FOOTBALL GAMES ALREADY.

HOW ABOUT SOUTH WINNING GAME NUMBER ONE, DODGE COUNTY THE CHAMPION IN DIVISION II.

AND THEN HILLBORO 20-6 OVER MARIANA.

>> OVER TIME AFTER OVER TIME AFTER OVER TIME.

THE GIRLS HAVE PLACED THE BAR PRETTY HIGH.

THE GUYS GOT TO GO OUT HERE AND PLAY BECAUSE THE GIRLS PUT ON A SHOW TODAY.

>> AND OUR FINAL GAME TONIGHT CLASS 1A PUBLIC ERWIN COUNTY, BROOKS COUNTY.

THEY WILL DO IT OUT.

AND THAT'S AN 8:00 P.M.

TIP RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

OUR FIRST OF THREE DAYS OF COVERAGE HERE AS WE AGAIN COVER THE GHSA CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THE PRIVATE 1A TITLE GAME PRINCE AVENUE VERSUS TRINITY.

LET'S START WITH THE WOLVERINES RIGHT NOW.

>> LET'S START ON OFFENSE AND TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE PLAYERS WE WANT TO WATCH IN THIS CONTEST.

ONE OF THE GUYS TO KEEP AN EYE ON, BAILEY STOCKTON, 15 TOUCHDOWN PALACES RECEPTIONS DURING THE COURSE OF THIS SEASON.

YOU WANT TO WATCH FOR HIM TONIGHT FOR THE WOLVERINES.

>> MEANWHILE ON DEFENSE URIAH HOWARD HAS REALLY CARRIED THE MAIL FOR THEM.

>> A DISRUPTIVE FORCE.

WATCH FOR HIM TO GET INTO THE SECONDARY.

LOOK AT THOSE TACKLES, 17 THIS SEASON.

THIS GUY'S GOING TO GET SOME THINGS DONE.

YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR NUMBER 77.

>> MEANWHILE, IF YOU WATCHED THIS GAME LAST YEAR, SOME OF THESE NAPES ARE GOING TO SOUND FAMILIAR BECAUSE THEY HAD ONLY TWO SENIORS ON LAST YEAR'S TEAMS.

A LOT OF OFFENSIVE STARS FOR THEM.

>> AND SOME PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE, LET'S GET STARTED, TRINITY'S DOMINIC CAME OVER AND JOINED THIS TEAM.

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS HE HAS PUT UP.

INCREDIBLE, 27 TOUCHDOWNS.

HE IS GOING TO BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.

HE IS THE GROUND ATTACK.

>> AND HOW ABOUT THAT YARDS PER RUSH AVERAGE, ALMOST TEN PER CARRY ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE, CHRISTIAN HANSON.

>> YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY.

LOOK AT THAT TACKLE FOR LOSS NUMBER.

HE'S A GUY WHO MAKES THINGS HAPPEN.

HE IS THE HIT MAN FOR THIS TEAM, NUMBER 43 CHRISTIAN HANSON.

>> TIME NOW FOR TONIGHT'S KEYS OF THE GAME PRESENTED BY THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF GPB HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

WHAT ARE YOUR KEYS FOR THE GAME?

WHICH TEAM ARE YOU GOING TO START WITH?

>> LET'S START WITH TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

[ LAUGHTER ] COIN WE'RE GOING TO -- WHICH ONE ARE WE GOING TO START WITH HERE?

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EITHER TRINITY OR PRINCE AVENUE.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO FLIP THE COIN.

>> AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH IT BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE WANT TO WATCH FOR.

I'LL TELL YOU THE THINGS I SAID FIRST OF ALL FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

DALLAS TO DALLAS BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE QUARTERBACK AND THE WIDE RECEIVER.

GREAT PASS CATCH COMBINATION.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE A GREAT PASS CATCH COMBINATION TO START OFF THESE FINALS.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE ONE IN THE GREAT 7A GAME TOO.

AND THEN OF COURSE FOR PRINCE AVENUE YOU WANT TO EXECUTE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANY ERRORS.

SO EXECUTE, EXECUTE, EXECUTE.

DOT YOUR Is, CROSS YOUR Ts.

DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES BECAUSE THIS TRINITY CHRISTIAN TEAM CAN MAKE YOU PAY.

>> WE'LL TALK ABOUT OFFENSE.

TONIGHT'S KEY OF THE GAME PRESENTED BY -- OFFICIAL SPONSOR HERE OF GHSA CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL.

LET'S GO TO OUR THIRD MEMBER OF THE TEAM OUT ON THE FIELD TABITHA WILKINS.

YOU'VE GOT THE COAT ON BUT YOU'RE NOT BUNDLED UP TOO MUCH.

KIND OF YOU'RE WARM IN A FASHIONABLE KIND OF WAY.

>> YEAH, I'M TRYING JUST A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S NOT TOO COLD OUT HERE.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT, GUYS, NOWADAYS WE'RE USED TO HEARING THINGS LIKE SAVOR THE MOMENTS WITH YOUR LOVED ONES.

AND THAT'S EVEN MORE CRITICAL FOR THE HEAD COACH WHOSE TWO SONS DAVID AND JOSHUA ARE GRADUATING SENIORS ON THIS FOOTBALL TEAM.

COACH DALLAS HAS COACHED HIS TWO OLDER SONS JAKE AND CALEB TO HIGH SCHOOL STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS AS WELL.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP RUNS TAUGHT HIM A LESSON TO PUT ON HIS DADDY HAT A BIT MORE.

ZACH IS ON THE SIDELINES WITH HIM TODAY, AND HE SAID MY OLDER BOYS HAVE YET TO WON A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH DAD AND THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

>> GREAT STUFF, TABITHA.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.

AND, AGAIN, WELCOME TO CHAMPIONSHIP THURSDAY HERE ON GPB.

TALKING WITH HIM HE SAID ALSO HIS FAMILY REMINDED HIM THAT HE IS WINLESS AS A HEAD COACH.

THIS IS HIS SEVENTH CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 0-3 AS A HEAD COACH, 2-1 AS AN ASSISTANT WITH EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN.

SO HE THINKS THIS IS THE YEAR HE CAN KIND OF BREAK THROUGH.

>> AND HOPES THE SONS HE'S COACHING THIS TIME CAN BRING IT THROUGH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE IT'S HOLIDAY TIME, EVERYBODY'S AROUND THE TABLE, WE WON A CHAMPIONSHIP.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

[ LAUGHTER ] THEY WANT TO BE THE ONES TO HELP DAD GET THAT CHAMPIONSHIP TODAY.

>> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

IF THERE IS EVER A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME YOU WISH YOU COULD HAVE MICs ON THE COACHES, IT'S THESE TWO.

THERE IS COACH DALLAS, HIS FIFTH YEAR AT TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

HE WENT TO THE TITLE GAME IN HIS FIRST YEAR THERE.

AND LOST THAT ONE AND A COUPLE TIMES AS WELL AS THE HEAD COACH.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THE EXCITEMENT AND THE PRIDE THAT THEY BUILD UP IN THE VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH TRINITY.

OF COURSE WE TALK ABOUT PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

THE COACH PUT ON QUITE A SHOW IN THIS GAME LAST YEAR.

HE IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW HE HANDLES THAT.

IF I AM TRINITY CHRISTIAN I'M GOING TO BRING SOME PRESSURE ON HIM.

LAST YEAR HE WAS THE UNDERSTUDY.

TODAY HE IS THE FEATURE.

>> HE GETS TO BE THE MAN.

AND HE HAS PUT OUT SOME IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS.

YOU SAW GREG'S NUMBERS.

HIS SIXTH SEASON IS AHEAD OF THE WOLF OVEREENS.

>> SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN IN THEIR HOME BLUE.

TRINITY IN THEIR VISITING WHITE.

HERE WE ARE WITH THE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIPS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA, AND THE KICKOFF HERE BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA, SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.

AND THE KICK IS GOING THERE TO NUMBER 24 GETTING IT OFF AND RUNNING.

THAT'S BRYCE WILCOX WITH A CATCH AND A NICE RETURN.

AND THAT'S WHERE TRINITY CHRISTIAN WILL START FIRST AND TEN IN THEIR OWN TERRITORY.

AND WE ARE OFF AND RUNNING.

GOOD LOOK THERE WITH THE QUARTERBACK.

DAVID DALLAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO GO TO WESTERN MICHIGAN, ALONG WITH HIS BROTHER.

BOTH ARE GOING TO BE AT WESTERN MICHIGAN.

THE PASS CATCH COMBO AMAZING NUMBERS THERE.

THIRD IN THE STATE.

WHAT AN OFFENSE THEY'VE GOT HERE.

FIRST AND TEN WE START FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

AT THE DEFENSE AT THE 35.

DALLAS TO PASS.

RIGHT OFF THE BAT HE'S GOT IT.

AND IT'S A CATCH!

DOWN TO THE 20 AND THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME IS TOUCHDOWN, TRINITY CHRISTIAN TO AARON GATES.

>> MY GOODNESS, WHAT A WAY TO START THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

THIS IS WHAT WE IN FOR THE REST OF THE -- [ LAUGHTER ] I GOT MY POPCORN.

I GOT MY TRACK SHOES.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED THEM TODAY.

>> COACH DALLAS GETTING A HOMERUN AND THEY GET IT DONE.

DALLAS TO GATES AND 14 SECONDS IN THE GAME WE'VE GOT OUR FIRST TOUCHDOWN.

THESE TWO PROGRAMS, AGAIN, THEY WILL SCORE POINTS IN BUNCHES.

JUST GET READY FOR THAT.

THEY ARE UP AND GOOD.

THERE WE ARE.

WE HOPE YOU'RE READY BECAUSE WE TRIED TO WARN YOU.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> WE TALK ABOUT DAVID DALLAS THROWING TO HIS BROTHER JOSH DALLAS.

BUT HE HAS AN ARRAY.

AND AARON GATES IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE TARGETS.

HAULS IT IN, AND JUST LIKE THAT TRINITY CHRISTIAN'S ON THE BOARD.

HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT IT.

>> JUST HANGS IT OUT THERE.

>> IN STRIDE JUST THE WAY YOU DRAW IT UP.

LAST YEAR WE CAME HERE AND CHRISTIAN SHOWED US A LOT, WE'RE GOING TO BE THE FAVORITE THIS TIME.

THEY HAD AN AMAZING SEASON.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE WATCH THIS TEAM WEEK AFTER WEEK AND WE WONDER WHO'S GOING TO CHALLENGE THIS TEAM.

WE SAW LAST WEEK IN THE FINALS GAME.

SO YOU WONDER WHAT DO THEY DO FOR AN ENCORE?

WE'VE SEEN THEM TESTED BECAUSE THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE SEASON THEY MADE IT LOOK SO EASY.

THEY STARTED OUT EASY TODAY.

NOW WE'LL SEE HOW THE OTHER TEAM IS GOING TO RESPOND.

>> TALK ABOUT SETTING THE STANDARD FOR THIS GAME, WHICH YOU'RE GOING TO SEE.

HOW IMPRESSIVE IS THAT?

OKAY, 14 SECONDS IN, THERE IT IS.

[ LAUGHTER ] WE BARELY GOT THAT UNDERWAY.

THE KICKOFF NOW IN THE HANDS OF BAILEY STOCKTON, ONE OF THE STAR PLAYERS FOR THE WOLVERINES.

AND NOW WE'RE BACK ON OFFENSE FOR PRINCE AVENUE.

WE LOOK AT THE YOUNG MAN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT JUST A MOMENT AGO, THE QUARTERBACK FOR PRINCE AVENUE, THE WOLVERINES.

>> THERE HE IS.

LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, IMPRESSIVE.

44 TOUCHDOWNS.

HE HAS GIVEN UP TEN RECEPTIONS.

BUT LET'S SEE HOW HE HANDLES THE SPOTLIGHT.

>> WE'LL TALK A LOT ABOUT HIM AND THE WAY HE WORKED WITH -- WHO IS NOW OVER AT GEORGIA.

FIVE-STAR QUARTERBACK LAST YEAR.

WHAT A YEAR HE HAS HAD IN HIS FIRST YEAR.

AS SAM MENTIONED, HE'S ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

NOW FIRST AND TEN FROM THE 27.

HE LOOKS TO PASS.

GREAT DEFENSE IN PLAY THERE BY JIM BO BACHELOR, THE LINEBACKER OUT THERE.

OUTSTANDING PLAY ON THE CATCH.

AND SECOND DOWN.

TONIGHT'S STARTERS PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

WE START WITH PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN, THEIR OFFENSE WE SAW JUST A MOMENT AGO.

WE MENTIONED URIAH HOWARD, THE BIG STAR THERE.

TWO OF THE PLAYERS THERE, BAILEY STOCKTON JUST A JUNIOR.

WHAT A JOB HE HAS DONE WITH THIS PROGRAM.

A HANDOFF AND NOT MUCH HAPPENING RIGHT THERE ON THE CARRY BY MAC BRADLEY AS THAT BRINGS UP THIRD DOWN.

AND WE NOW LOOK AT THE DEFENSE FOR TRINITY BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS BANK.

AND BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGIONS BANK.

IT'S THREE MAN UP FRONT.

LINEBACKERS WE'VE ALREADY SEEN JIMBO PLAY TONIGHT.

IN THE BACK FIELD WALL AND DALLAS YOUR SAFETY GATES AND WILCOX ARE THE QUARTERBACKS FOR THE UNDEFEATED TRINITY CHRISTIAN LIONS.

WE'VE GOT A STOPPAGE ON THE FIELD.

LET'S SEE WHAT THAT'S ABOUT AS WE TOOK CARE OF A FEW THINGS.

TIME-OUT, IT'S AN OFFICIAL TIME-OUT.

LOOKS LIKE MAYBE SOME PADDING CAME LOOSE?

>> MAYBE SOME EQUIPMENT.

NOW WE'RE READY TO GET BACK.

>> TWO-YARD GAME.

BRINGS UP THIRD AND EIGHT WITH THE CLOCK RUNNING.

THEY GO DEEP, SIDELINE OVERTHROWN.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR STOCKTON.

THAT BRINGS UP A FOURTH DOWN.

WHAT A GREAT SERIES THREE AND OUT FOR THIS TRINITY DEFENSE.

>> THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO GET ON THE BOARD THE WAY THEY DID TO START THE GAME AND THEN COME BACK OUT THREE AND OUT GETTING HIM OFF THE FIELD AND PUTTING IT BACK IN THE HANDS OF DAVID DALLAS AND THIS OFFENSE.

>> WE GET A CHANCE TO CATCH OUR BREATH NOW FOR JUST A MOMENT.

JOSHUA DALLAS IS COMMITTED TO GO TO WESTERN MICHIGAN.

PLAYS BOTH WAYS FOR TRINITY.

FOURTH DOWN PUNT BY THE WOLVERINES.

SIDELINE, PRINCE AVENUE BOUND TO BE DOWN AT THE 39th.

THAT'S WHERE THE LIONS WILL START THEIR SECOND SERIES.

IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US A COUPLE MINUTES LATE, BOY, YOU MISSED SOME FIREWORKS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

65-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS BY DAVID DALLAS ON THE VERY FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME.

COMPLETING TWO-THIRDS OF HIS PASSES IN HIS CAREER.

THAT'S AMAZING AND A 3-1 TOUCHDOWN INTERCEPTION RATIO FOR DALLAS.

>> AND NOW HE'S BACK IN THE OFFENSE.

THEY CAN RUN THE BALL JUST AS WELL.

>> FIRST AND TEN.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S AGAINST THE WOLVERINES' DEFENSE.

AND WE'LL HEAR THE CALL.

>> Referee: ENCROACHMENT ON THE DEFENSE FIVE-YARD PENALTY, FIRST DOWN.

>> NOT A GOOD START RIGHT NOW FOR PRINCE AVENUE.

AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THEY WON THIS GAME LAST YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE FINE PEOPLE WORKING WITH THE REFEREE TO BRING THIS GAME TO YOU FROM THE GEORGIA STATE CAMPUS.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOT A FIRST DOWN.

AND THAT WAS DOMINIC COSPER WE TALKED ABOUT, THE SENIOR WHO TRANSFERRED IN THIS YEAR.

WHAT A YEAR HE'S HAD, SAM.

NINE PLUS YARDS PER CARRY ON THE YEAR.

HURRY UP OFFENSE FIRST AND TEN.

DALLAS WAITS TO GET THE CALL.

OPENING MINUTES, OUR FIRST FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THAT'S A THREE FLAG FOOTBALL GAMES EARLIER TODAY.

A FUN DAY ALREADY AT CENTER PARK STADIUM.

>>> KOSPER AGAIN.

LOOK AT THE TRINITY STARTERS ON OFFENSE.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK, AND WE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE STARTERS AND AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT FRONT LINE, HUNTER MASHBURN.

HE DOES A JOB, AND WE TALKED ABOUT KOSPER.

SECOND DOWN PLAY AND NOW GREAT DEFENSIVE STOP THERE BY THE WOLVERINES.

NUMBER 17, THE SOPHOMORE AND LET'S LOOK AT THIS PRINCE AVENUE STARTING LINEUP PRESENTED BY REGENT'S BANK.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK AND LUKE LINEAR, AND THE SENIOR, STOCKTON PLAYS BOTH WAYS AND HE'S JUST A JUNIOR AND JOSH FRITZ, ALSO ONE OF THE STARS OF THAT DEFENSIVE SECONDARY.

THIRD AND SIX NOW.

LOOKING FOR THE QUICK STRIKE AND HE GOT IT, DROPPED IT AND THAT PASS INTENDED FOR JAVON HARRISON, SENIOR.

A NICE ANSWER BY THE WOLVERINES DEFENSE.

HARRISON HITS HIM IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

HE JUST COULDN'T HANG ONTO IT AND YOUR DRIVE CONTINUES AND YOU TURN THE BALL OVER.

THAT'S ONE HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BACK.

THERE'S NO QUESTION AND GOOD LOOK THERE AT JOSH, THE JUNIOR WHO RECEIVED THIS PUNT AT PRINCE AVENUE AND THEY LOOK TO START THEIR SECOND SERIES ON OFFENSE THE FIRST TIME.

>> THE PUNT FROM TRINITY.

AND INTO THE END ZONE.

THEY CAN'T KEEP IT INTO REGULATION AND IT WILL BE UP FIRST AND 10 AT THE 20 FOR PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

WE GET OUR FIRST TIME OUT AND A CHANCE TO GET THAT POPCORN WE TALKED ABOUT.

A LOT OF FIREWORKS SO FAR IN THE FIRST GAME.

THE THE CLASS 1A PRIVATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

TRINITY CHRISTIAN ON TOP.

>>> PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN COMING UP WITH THE SECOND SERIES ON OFFENSE AND A YOUNG QUARTERBACK, JUST A SOPHOMORE, 6'1", 175 AND VAN DER GRIFT THE PROSPECT AND PICK HIM UP EVERY MORNING TO GO WORK OUT AND THAT'S PAID OFF.

>> PREPARATION, THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE LEARNED AND THE WORKING OUT IS THE TIME IN THE WEIGHT ROOM, THE TIME IN THE FILM ROOM ALL GREAT HABITS AND HE'S RIGHT THERE WITH BROCK AND NOW HE'S ROLLED IT OUT THIS SEASON.

>> TRYING TO BRING THEM BACK-TO-BACK STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND STOCKTON GOES LEFT AND IT'S A NICE STOP THERE AND RIGHT THERE, GREAT DEFENSE.

CHRISTIAN HANSEN AND MAKE THAT RYAN EARL AND THE LINEBACKER AND HE'S A JUNIOR ON THE STOP.

>> AND A LOOK AT RYAN EARL, 44 MADE THAT STOP AND THE CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE ON THE TEAM AND ONE OF HIS LEADING TACKLERS.

>> RUNS A 4, 5, 40.

STOCKTON, SECOND AND NINE NOW.

A GOOD TOSS OUTSIDE AND THAT'S TO BRIT, AND AGAIN, THE GREAT DEFENSE.

JIMBO, AND BRYCE WILCOX BRINGS UP A THIRD AND LONG NOW FOR THE WOLVERINES.

>> TRIED SOME DIFFERENT THINGS AND RIGHT NOW TRINITY CHRISTIAN WILL TRY TO RUN IT AND WE GO SIDE TO SIDE WITH YOU AND WE WON'T LET YOU TURN THE FIELD.

>> WE'VE SEEN ALREADY THE FIRST TWO SERIES AND THEY'VE TRIED TO GO BOTH WAYS AND NOTHING DOING EITHER WAY.

SO LET'S SEE WHAT SILO HAS HERE ON THIRD DOWN AND NINE.

ELIJA DEWITT COMING CLOSE.

>> A WHISTLE AND IT WILL BE A TIME OUT.

>> TIME OUT.

>> PRINCE AVENUE COACH GREG VAN DER GRIFT DOESN'T LIKE IT.

>> IT'S BEEN SERVING SINCE 1957 AND IN A SIZE OF ONE FOOTBALL FIELD THERE COULD BE OVER ONE MILLION TERMITES AND BRADEN CAN HELP FROM TERMITES TO ROACHES, MOSQUITOS TO FLYING SQUIRRELS AND IT IS A PROUD SPONSOR MORE AT BRADY PEST.COM.

>> NICE SHOT OF DOWNTOWN ATLANTA THERE AND THE HISTORY THAT IS IN THIS SECTION OF TOWN THAT I'M WORKING ON AND I WROTE IT FOR GPB.ORG AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE WRITING THEIR OWN CHAPTER OF THE HISTORY BOOKS AND SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED THERE AND IT'S THEIR TURN.

>> WE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT THE HISTORY THERE AND TURNER FIELD AND JUST ALL OF THE HISTORY THAT THEY'RE BUILDING A PART OF THAT AND THE FACT THAT THESE ARE PLAYING.

>> GREAT STUFF.

GPB.ORG.

CHECK THAT OUT.

THIRD DOWN NOW, AND FINAL UNDER PRESSURE AND HIT AS HE THROWS AND IT WAS PICKED OFF, INTERCEPTED.

BRYCE WILCOX.

IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!

WHAT A SEQUENCE BY TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> WOW.

>> GREAT JOB BY JOSIAH JOHNSON.

THE SENIOR ON THE LIE THERE AND SAM TOOK GREAT PRESSURE ON SILO AND WHAT AN EARLY STATEMENT HERE BY THE LIONS.

>> THEY ARE BRINGING THE PRESSURE AND COULD YOU GET PRESSURE ON HIM AND COULD YOU MAKE SOME MISTAKES AND THEY HAD A GREAT SEASON AND HE STARTED THE DAY AND OWNED THE STAGE AND HIS FIRST TIME BEING HERE AND THEY FORCED AN ERROR RIGHT HERE.

THE LIONS MAKE HIM PAY.

>> AS YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT'S ONLY HIS 11th INTERCEPTION DURING THE YEAR.

HE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC FOR PRINCE AVENUE, BUT THE INTERCEPTION THERE, A GOOD LOOK AT WILCOX AND GIVING TRINITY CHRISTIAN A 14-0 LEAD AND TRINITY CHRISTIAN SAID THEY WERE YOUNG AND WE WERE RIGHT THERE WITH HIM AND THE 748 WE WERE RIGHT THERE AND HE SAID THAT WAS REALLY A MANTRA FOR THEM ALL THIS YEAR.

HE SAID THEY CALL IT 748 CLIMB AND THAT 748 NUMBER, THEY WANTED IT ALL 12 MONTHS.

>> MAYBE ALL SEASON LONG AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS DRIVEN AND MOTIVATED THIS TEAM AND IT CULMINATES HERE TODAY AND THEY'RE OFF TO AN IMPRESSIVE START.

YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ON THE NEXT POSSESSION.

YOUR DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL WILL START TAKING A TOLL ON IT HERE.

DOWN 14-0 AND HE'S ON THE MOVE.

>> GREAT TACKLE FROM BEHIND.

NUMBER 43, AND WE CALLED HIS NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES TODAY AND LET'S SEE WHAT THEY CAN DIAL OUT TO GET SOMETHING GOING.

SAM, TO YOUR POINT, WE'VE SEEN THE BOMB OF THE TOUCHDOWN BY THE LIONS AND THE INTERCEPTION RETURNED BY THE LIONS AND WE GET TO SEE A FIRST DOWN BY THE WOLVERINES AND LET'S SEE WHAT HE AND HIS STAFF CAN DIAL UP RIGHT HERE.

>> TO ME THAT'S THE MISSION, YOU WANT TO GET SOMETHING GOING CONSISTENTLY AND HAVE SOME SUCCESS AND THEY TRIED GOING EAST AND WEST AND SEE WHAT THEY TRY THIS TIME ON THIS POSSESSION.

PRIVATE CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE SCOMPLIEN THERE IS NOTHING DOING THERE AND THIS DEFENSE HAS JUST BEEN OUTSTANDING.

JOHNSON AGAIN, THE FIRST MAN THROUGH TO MAKE THAT STOP FOR NO GAIN.

TREMENDOUS SEASON AND SEVEN TACKLES FOR LOSS.

HE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH TODAY AND HE'S GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START IN THIS GAME.

>> SO NO GAME THERE.

SECOND AND 10 FOR THE WOLVERINES.

>> A QUICK PASS AGAIN, LOOKING FOR ELIJA DEWITT AND HE GETS SOME POSITIVE YARDS.

OUT OF BOUNDS, WHAT A GOOD GAME AND TURNED UP THIRD AND SHORT FOR AVENUE AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST PLAY THEY'VE HAD SO FAR IN THE GAME.

>> DEWITT IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE BIG-TIME RECEIVERS AND THE GUY IS VERY TALENTED FOR THIS TEAM, TAKES IT AND SHAKES OFF ANOTHER DEFENDER AND IN THE DOWN MARKET THERE AND YOU WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET THAT THIRD DOWN.

>> EMPLOY TEE BACKFIELD FOR SILO AND IT'S A SOPHOMORE.

>> OPENING MINUTES HERE AND THE CLASS 1A HERE.

YOU HAVE IT DOWN MORE ANDIS IN PLAY THERE BY THE SOPHOMORE SILO TO GET THE FIRST FIRST DOWN OF THE GAME FOR THE WOLVERINES.

>> HE'S YOUR QUARTERBACK AND THE LEADER AND WHAT HE HAS TO DO.

CALL HIS OWN NUMBER.

PICKED UP ENOUGH YARDAGE TO SUSTAIN THE DRIVE.

GOOD CALL FOR HIM.

NOW LET A SEE WHAT HE WOULD DO TO GET THE CALL GOING.

>> IT WAS THE FIRST DOWN AND MORE AND DOWNFIELD AND ELIJA DEWITT FINALLY PUSHED OUT OF BOUNDS AND THE WOLVERINES BACK-TO-BACK PLAYS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE GAME.

>> DEWITT, ONCE AGAIN, TO ELUDE DEFENDERS.

HE HAS IT CATCH A SEED AND TREMENDOUS SEASON ALL MORNING LONG.

>> E LIDGEA DEWITT MAKING IT HAPPEN THERE AND FAKED FROM SILO NOW GOING UP TOP AND NOW THE FLAG AND INTERFERENCE AND THE SECONDARY THERE.

LOOKS LIKE IT IS.

IT WILL BE ANOTHER 15-YARD PENALTY FOR PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

HERE'S THE CALL.

>> SO THE WOLVERINES NOW WITH SOME MOMENTUM AND DALLAS ON THE SIDELINES.

THE QUARTERBACK GOES TO FIRST DOWN AND YOU GET ONE OUT TO GET THE FIRST DOWN TO KEEP THINGS MOVING AND LET'S FINISH IT.

GOOD MOMENT UP TO THE 22 ON FIRST DOWN.

SILO GETTING THE CALL.

>> STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND JIMBO BACHELOR, THE SENIOR.

>> HELLO?

SOLO.

ALL YOU NEED IS ONE TO MAKE THAT ONE.

RIGHT HERE, YOU ARE ALL MINE AND HE MAKES THE STOP ON THAT PLAY.

ONE MORE COMING AT CROWE.

ONE SOLO STOP.

>> THREE-YARD LOSS ON THAT PLAY AND BACK TO LIVE ACTION NOW AND IT IS A GREAT PLAY AND FIRST DOWN AND MORE.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S INSIDE WHEN HE WAS RIPPED OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> I CONTINUE TO LIKE WHAT I SEE WITH THIS YOUNG MAN AND HE RUNS WITH SUCH DETERMINATION AND HE'S SHAKING DEFENDERS.

HE HAS THE 15th GAME OF THE SEASON.

YOU CAN'T USE IT NEXT WEEK.

YOU HAVE TO USE IT ALL TODAY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY WORK AGAIN BY THE GPB CREW AND WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS AND ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO ALL SEASON LONG.

>> DEWITT THIS TIME, BALL IN HIS HANDS AND LOOK AT THAT DEFENSE STRINGING THIS OUT.

BACHELOR AGAIN.

IT'S THE BACHELOR, PRIME TIME.

RIGHT HERE FROM DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.

>> ALL NIGHT.

IT WILL BE HERE FOR YOU.

WE ARE GOING EAST-WEST AND WE'VE SEEN HOW IT GOES TO THE SIDELINE AND THEY COVERED IT SO VERY WELL AND THEY'RE READY FOR THAT.

>> IT IS ONE, TWO, THREE.

SO THEY HAVE THAT COVERED AND YOU HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND WE WANT TO GO FORWARD THERE.

>> HE'S LOOKING FOR THE HOLES AND THERE WAS NONE AND GREAT PURSUIT TO THE OUTSIDE.

>> SECOND AND GOAL.

NO GAME, THIS TIME IT'S STOCKTON, AND HE'S BROUGHT DOWN IN A HURRY AND JOSIAH JOHNSON AND IT'S THIRD DOWN AND GOAL.

>> YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ME.

I'M THINKING I'M ONE WITH THE FOOTBALL.

NUMBER NINE RIGHT THERE AND IT'S BLOCKED AND MAKES THE STOP.

>> YOU KNOW, SAM.

I LIKE THE PLAY CALL.

>> VERY NICE PLAY CALL.

>> GREAT JOB BY JOHNSON TO STAY HOME.

>> LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THERE.

54 TACKLES AND THREE FOR A LOSS THIS SEASON AND PLAYING CHEERLEADER AT THE SAME TIME.

HE DOES IT ALL.

THIRD AND GOAL FOR AARON SILO.

PASS AND CAUGHT AND IT WILL BE A SHORT MISS THERE BY A HOST FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

NUMBER 44, RYAN EARL WAS AMONG THEM.

TIED TO THE WALL WAS THERE AND IT'S FOURTH AND GOAL NOW FOR THE WOLVERINES.

>> IT'S TIME YOU FIND A TARGET AND YOU GO IN THERE FOR STOCKTON AND ONE GRAB OF THE LEG AND THEY GET IT.

>> THAT'S A STRONG LEG.

THAT'S THAT WEIGHT ROOM IN THE OFF SEASON.

>> IT IS.

IT PAYS OFF WITH A MOMENT LIKE THAT.

>> AND KEEPS THEIR OFFENSE ON THE FIELD AND THEY GL FOR THE TOUCHDOWN HERE.

FOURTH AND GOAL.

>> THEY'RE DOWN AT THE THREE.

SILO, QUICK TOSS AND JUST SHORT OF THE END ZONE.

WHAT A PLAY.

JOSH BLITZ ON THE CATCH AND HE'S BROUGHT DOWN, AND THE TRINITY DEFENSE HOLDS.

>> FOR THAT GUY, NUMBER FINE, HE JUST HAPPENS TO BE WHEREVER THE BALL IS, RIGHT THERE TO MAKE THE PLAY AND STOPPED THEM SHORT.

>> JOHNSON'S THERE AND LOOKING AT THE WHITE SHIRTS AROUND THEM BEFORE THE GOAL LINE.

NUMBER 19, JOSH DALLAS.

BRIT MAKES THE CATCH, BUT IT'S DENIED.

TRINITY CHRISTIAN TAKES OVER.

3:25 TO GO.

TRINNIST CHRISTIAN AND EVERYTHING GOING THEIR WAY FOR LAST YEAR'S STATE RUNNER-UP WANTED TO GET SOME REVENGE SO FAR IN THE FIRST EIGHT AND A HALF MINUTES AND A LONG WAY TO GO, THOUGH.

DAVID DALLAS CALLS HIS OWN TO GET OUT, AND THAT TAKES HIM SECOND DOWN.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THIS MAN DOES THROUGH THE AIR AND HE NEEDEDED TO GET TUCK IT AND RUN, TO GAIN HIM SPACE NOT SECOND DOWN.

>> ACTUALLY GAINED SEVEN.

DALLAS AGAIN, CATCH IS COMPLETE.

STILL GOING.

THAT'S AARON GATES WHO CAUGHT THE TOUCHDOWN PASS ON THE VERY FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME AND GETS HIS SECOND CATCH OF THE GAME AND BRINGS UP HIS FIRST DOWN.

>> HE DID LIKE A PIROUETTE HERE.

YOU'RE GOING TO SPIN ONE TIME AND MAYBE HE GOES FOR ANOTHER TIME AND HOW ABOUT ONE MORE THING?

>> HE MANAGED TO GET A FEW MORE YARDS OUT OF THAT ONE.

>> GREAT EFFORT THERE FOR GATES, JUST A JUNIOR FOR THIS LIONS OFFENSE.

>> FIRST AND TEN, DALLAS TO PASS AGAIN AND IT'S GATES AGAIN, SPINNING AGAIN AND ALMOST CLOSE IT A FIRST DOWN.

EIGHT-YARD GAIN FOR AARON GATES.

>> HE IS SUCH A FACTOR FOR THIS TEAM AND THE 65-YARD TOUCHDOWN RECEPTION AND THEY'VE DONE GREAT FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN, THIS IS THE STRENGTH ARM AND GREAT WITH POWER.

YOU KNOW, THAT WAS WILL EL ROD WHO HAD HIM BY THE JERSEY IN THE BACKFIELD AND TO KOSPER TO GET HIS LEGS MOVING.

>> KOSPER WOULD WAIT FOR THE FIRST HALF AND THIS WILL NOT BE DENIED AND YOU GUYS HAVE TO COME ALONG WITH ME BECAUSE I'M GOTTING THE FIRST DOWN AND HE'S DETERMINED RUNNING AND ALL SEASON LONG HE'S SHOWING YOU EASIER TONIGHT.

>> AGAIN, VERY FAFRT-PEASED OFFENSE AND DID HE STEP OUT OF BOUNDS AND IS HE INTO THE END ZONE?

IS IT A TOUCHDOWN?

>> SEE WHAT THE CALL IS.

DID HE CROSS THE GOAL LINE BEFORE THE CALL CAME OUT?

THEY'RE SAYING IT'S A FUMBLE IN THE END ZONE AND THEREFORE THE TOUCHBACK IT WILL BE THE WOLVERINES' BALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE GATES AFTER CATCHING THE BALL.

>> HE GOT OUT OF THE WAY AND HE RECOVERS AND IT WILL BE A FIRST AND 20 FOR THEM.

WHAT A SEQUENCE FOR THE WOLVERINES.

>> LET'S LOOK AT THIS PLAY AND WATCH HIS FOOTWORK.

I DON'T THINK HE STEPPED OUT.

WATCH THIS.

THEY GET HIM CLOSE, STILL IN.

GETS CLOSE.

DOES HE HANG ON TO THE BALL?

RIGHT HERE, HE LEANS OVER.

HE MAKES A CONTACT AND THE BALL COMES OUT.

DOES THE BALL COME OUT ON THE WAY DOWN?

THE BALL COMES LOOSE.

HOW ABOUT THAT.

THE CAMERA ANGLE CONFIRMS IT.

>> I KNOW IT'S THE FIRST QUARTER AND NOT TRYING TO GET TOO MUCH LOVE, BUT HOW ABOUT THE CAMERA WORK ONCE AGAIN.

NICE JOB, GUYS.

BY THE WAY, THERE IS NO REPLAY IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SO WE PLAY ON AND A BIG PLAY HERE.

THAT'S ELIJA WILCOX.

I'M SORRY, ELIJA DEWITT.

WE'VE CALLED HIS NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES AND CHRISTIAN TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE NOW AND THE 20-YARD GAIN FROM THE WOLVERINE.

>> THE HEAD COACH CALLING TIME OUT TO SETTLE THINGS DOWN WITH THAT SEQUENCE AND WHAT A MOMENT THERE AND WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS THIS COULD BE AND WHAT A TURN THAT COULD BE IF THEY TURN INTO POINTS FROM THAT PLAY.

REALLY?

HE WANTS TO TALK WITH THE REFEREE AND THE OFFICIALS.

I'M SURE SOMEBODY ON HIS STAFF WENT AND GOT A LOOK AT IT IN REPLAY AND RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO PROVISION FOR THAT IN GEORGIA.

THERE ARE OTHER STATES WHO ARE DOING IT, BUT IT IS NOT HAPPENING IN OUR STATE AS OF YET AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MUCH DEBATED ABOUT HOW THE FUTURE IS.

I THINK EVENTUALLY YOU WILL SEE IT, BUT IT'S NOT HERE YET AND SO THERE ISN'T A PROVISION FOR IT AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE MULTIPLE CAMERAS AT EVERY SINGLE GAME.

SO IT WOULD BE HARDER FOR THAT AND YOU CAN'T ENFORCE IT AND HAVE IT IN SOME GAMES AND OTHERS YOU DON'T.

IT WOULD BE NICE IN ALL LEVELS AND THE CAMERAS FIGURED OUT AND HOPE THAT THAT'S COMING IN THE FUTURE.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION AND AARON SILO.

A 20-YARD PASS A MOMENT AGO TO ELIJA DEWITT AND HE STARTS TO GET THINGS GOING NOW.

>> NICK HURLEY, THE SOPHOMORE.

>> TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.

THE SPOT LOOKS AROUND AND ALL OF THE WAY IN.

RIGHT ABOUT WITH THE OUT OF BOUNDS LINE.

SO A SEVEN-YARD GAIN AND SILO AND HURLEY AND THE TWO SOPHOMORES CONNECTING.

14-0, AND A LOT OF BIG PLAYS ALREADY IN THIS GAME AND INTO HIS STAR RECEIVER'S HANDS AND THE SHORT GAME AND IT WILL BE THIRD AND ABOUT ONE FOR PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

>> HE'S STARTED TO EXTEND IT AND REACH IT OUT THERE TO MAKE IT GET TO THE FIRST DOWN YARDAGE AND POKE IT AND MAKE IT COME OUT AND THOUGHT BETTER OF IT AND PULLED IT BACK IN.

BRINGS UP THIRD DOWN.

>> THIRD AND ONE NOW.

IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US, TRINITY CHRISTIAN, TWO QUICK SCORES AND A LONG INTERCEPTION RETURN.

FIRST DOWN AND HE IS IN THE LION'S TERRITORY AND ABOUT A TEN-YARD GAIN FOR BAILEY STOCKTON AND HIS HELMET POPS OFF THERE ON THE TACKLE AND THE FIRST DOWN AND THEY'RE INTO THE LION TERRITORY.

>> TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THAT LINE AND TALK ABOUT WILL FROST TRYING TO GET THINGS DONE TO SET THE TABLE.

THERE WAS ANOTHER FIRST DOWN.

14-0, TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

LIVE ACTION HERE FROM CENTER PARK STADIUM IN ATLANTA.

SILO UNDER PRESSURE, BALL COMES LOOSE AND THEY'RE GOING TO REMAIN, AND I BELIEVE PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

THE GREAT PURSUIT THERE.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO IS DIAL UP THE PRESSURE, BRING THE HEAT.

LOOK YOU SAY, HE KIND OF JUST THROWS IT INTO THE GROUND THERE AND HE'S ABOUT TO GET A SACK.

>> ETHAN McDOWELL, NUMBER 14 AND A GOOD LOOK AT HIM, THE JUNIOR.

DEFENSIVE LINEMAN VERY ATHLETIC AND WE SAW JOSIAH JOHNSON ONCE AGAIN AS PART OF THAT.

>> A LOSS OF TEN AND A STOPPAGE OF PLAY BEFORE THE SNAP AND LET'S GET THE CALL.

>> BRINGS UP SECOND AND 25 AND GREG VAN DER GRIST.

WE MENTIONED THE CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING COACH FROM A YEAR AGO AND A LOT OF OTHER PLAYERS COMING IN AND REALLY HAD TO WORK EXTRA OVER THE SUMMER AND EARLY IN THE SEASON TO GET THESE YOUNG PLAYERS READY, BUT HE'S RIGHT BACK HERE IN THE STAGE AND HAD TO REPEAT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> YOU ASK EACH OF THE COACHES HOW IT WAS THE PREPARATIONS AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE SPRING FOOTBALL AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT WITH THE TEAM LIKE THIS ONE.

>> SILO UNDER PRESSURE GETS IT AWAY AND THAT'S HURLEY, BUT HE IS STOPPED AFTER A MINIMAL GAME AFTER A THIRD AND A MILE FOR PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

WE TALKED ABOUT THEM AND THE KIND OF THINGS THAT THEY HAD AND COACH VAN DERGRIFT AND SIX OF THEM IN THE TOP TEN.

THEY DIDN'T JUST PLAY ANYBODY.

HE WENT OUT AND PLAYED AN INCREDIBLE SCHEDULE.

>> THE PENALTY'S DECLINED.

THIRD DOWN.

>> THERE WAS A PENALTY THERE, AND A FLAG ON THE PLAY AGAINST THE WOLVERINE, BUT AS YOU SAW COACH VAN DER GRIFT.

I'M SORRY, COACH DALLAS DECLINE IT FOR TRINITY.

>> THEY REALLY DID THAT TO GET PREPARED.

HE'D BE HERE IN THIS GAME.

>> SILO GOING LONG ON THIRD DOWN AND HE HAS A TOUCHDOWN CATCH AND HE KNOCKED THAT BALL AWAY AND GAVE PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN THE BALL AND VERY LONG AND THE PUNTING COMES OUT.

>> HE JUST MAKES BIG PLAYS AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE BALL HE'S PLAYING ON AND IF HE'S PLAYING IN THE SECONDARY HE SEEMS TO BE THAT GUY THAT HAS THE KNACK FOR DOING THAT BIG THING THAT HIS TEAM NEEDS AND THAT WAS A BIG STOP RIGHT THERE.

>> HIS FOURTH DOWN.

ARE THEY GOING TO PUNT IT?

HE HAS A PLAYER HUSTLING OFF.

>> JACK, TRYING TO RECEIVE FOR THE LIONS.

>> THEY PUNTED AWAY FROM DALLAS AND ROLLED OUT OF BOUNDS TO ABOUT THE 23 AND THAT'S WHERE TRINITY CHRISTIAN WILL START WHEN WE BEGIN THE SECOND QUARTER.

WHAT A WILD FIRST QUARTER IT'S BEEN AND WE'VE SEEN A TOUCHDOWN BOMB AND THE INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN AND CRAZY CONTROVERSIAL FUMBLE IN THE END ZONE.

WE'VE HAD IT ALL, ALREADY, NOTHING LIKE IT AND THE LIONS AND TRINITY CHRISTIAN UP AFTER ONE.

>>> TRINITY CHRISTIAN ON TOP.

TAB THAT TURNER WILKINS FOR MORE.

TABITHA?

>> IT'S CHILLY, BUT THE ATMOSPHERE IS ELECTRIC OUT HERE AND VERY ENTERTAINING FIRST QUARTER AND EVERYONE IS WITH THE HEAT BLANKETS AND HOT CHOCOLATE, BUT EXCITING ATMOSPHERE OUT HERE AND FAMILIES RUNNING AROUND AND EVERYONE JUST EXCITED THAT THE END OF THE SEASON IS FINALLY HERE.

ONE TEAM WILL WIN IT ALL.

WE'RE EXCITED TO GET BACK TO WORK.

>> TAB THAT HAS THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE AND WE'LL TALK TO HER IN A FEW MINUTES AND THE WAY WE STARTED THE FIRST QUARTER AND IT WAS WITH THE TRINITY CHRISTIAN PASS AND THEY MAKE THAT CORRECTION AND DAVID DALLAS GIVING IT TO NUMBER 11, JAVON HARRISON AND SECOND DOWN FOR THE LIONS.

>> THEY ARE OFF THE CLOCK.

THEN AGAIN, TRINITY CHRISTIAN OTHERWISE SAIL WILL GET A CHANCE TO TALK.

>> HE'S GOT A FIRST DOWN AND MORE, AND HERE COMES TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> DOING WHAT THEY DO.

PECULIAR YOUR POISON.

DO YOU WANT IT IN THE AIR OR ON THE GROUND AND WHAT HE'S DONE ALL SEASON LONG.

HE CAN GO EAST AND WEST AND TURN IT UP AND GET WHAT YOU NEED TO MOVE THE STICKS.

>> WHAT A SENIOR YEAR HE'S HAD AND MACINTOSH HIGH SCHOOL AND PEACH TREE CITY AND TRANSFERRED OVER HERE FOR THE SENIOR YEAR FOR THE LIONS.

FIRST AND TEN FROM THEIR OWN 36.

WESTERN DALLAS AND HE COMMITS ON THE RUN AND HE'S IN TROUBLE AND A GREAT JOB THERE BY THE HOST OF WOLVERINES ON THAT ONE.

NICK HURLEY, MASON, WE SAW, THE JUNIOR, GREAT PURSUIT.

>> YEAH.

WATCH HERE.

STEPS UP INTO THE POCKET AND NOT GETTING HIS FIRST ONE THERE AND THEN COMES MORE OF THE BLUE JERSEYS.

>> URIAH HOWARD AND ALSO IN THE SECONDARY PRESSURE TO GET IN ON THAT AND KEEP HIM CONTAINED AS HE TRIED TO SPIN OUT OF TROUBLE.

>> I HOPE DAVID LIKES BREAKFAST AND LIKES CEREAL.

>> HE'S GOING INTO WESTERN MICHIGAN AND NEAR BATTLE CREEK NEAR KELLOGG.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> HE CAN GET A DISCOUNT.

>> I'M SURE -- >> OH, PLENTY.

PLENTY.

HAVE TO, BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT?

FROSTED FLAKES?

THERE ARE PLENTY OF IT FOR THEM.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

DOMINIC KOSPER AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE A FLAG AND LET'S LISTEN IN AND SEE WHAT THE CALL IS.

S. >> BRING THAT BACK, AND LET'S HOPE THEY WASH THOSE FLAGS AFTER THE GAMES.

>> WE'VE HAD A SHORTAGE ALL YEAR LONG AROUND THE STATE AND MY GOODNESS, WE SALUTE THEM FOR BEING ON THE JOB AND THE BEST OF THE BEST GET A CHANCE TO WORK THIS WEEKEND AND WE APPRECIATE IT AND CAN'T PLAY THE GAMES WITHOUT THEM.

>> PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST PLEASE GET INVOLVED TO BECOME AN OFFICIAL.

WE NEED YOU THERE, THE PASS ON SECOND AND 20.

THAT'S DALLAS INTENDED FOR BRYCE WILCOX INCOMPLETE AND BRINGS UP THE THIRD DOWN.

I DROVE ON THE FLAG, BUT YOU KNOW, THE PASSION THAT IT TAKES.

TOUGH JOB.

>> IT'S A VERY TOUGH JOB.

WE'VE ALREADY SEEN WHY.

>> WE THINK REPLAY EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT THERE AND THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT, BUT STILL, IT IS REWARDING AND THE CAMARADERIE AND WE TALK WITH OFFICIALS AND THEY WORK TOGETHER AND THEY GET A CHANCE TO BE REWARDED AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO WORK THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ATLANTA THIS WEEKEND.

>> YOU SAW THE NUMBERS THERE, AND TRINITY CHRISTIAN AND THEY'VE ONLY HAD THE BALL FOR THE SWING PASS TO KOSPER AND HE'S OUT TO THE 35 AND BEYOND AND WELL SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN AND THAT WILL BRING THE PUNTING ON FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> JUST TAKE A HANDOFF AND STOP THE SHORT PASS AND VERSATILITY.

WE TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TARGETS THAT DALLAS HAS TO WORK WITH.

HE IS ONE OF THEM, AS WELL WHEN IT COMES TO BEING ABLE TO DRAW IN AND PULL IN THAT CATCH.

>> WHAT A GREAT JOB HE HAS DONE AND THERE IS A CHANCE WE'LL SEE HIM ON THE NEXT LEVEL AND SAM, YOU AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF FOOTBALL IN OUR YEARS AND WHAT HE'S SHOWN ME SO FAR AND HE'S GOT THE SKILLS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> STOCKTON BACK TO RETURN THE PUNT.

IT'S A FAIR CATCH AND WE'LL TAKE A BREAK HERE.

FIRST DAY OF THREE DAYS OF COVERAGE ON GPB, THE GSHA CHAMPIONSHIP AND SO FAR IT HAS BEEN ALL TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

14-0 AND WOLVERINES TRYING TO ANSWER NEXT.

.

>> ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

THERE WE GO.

RESPECT IS EARNED EVERY DAY.

IN ADDITION TO EARNING RESPECT YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR MORE INFORMATION AT GOARMY.COM/BONUS OR 800USAARMY, PAID FOR BY THE U.S. ARMY.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION RIGHT NOW AT CENTER PARK STADIUM.

AS YOU MAY KNOW AND RECOGNIZE IT, THE FORMER TURNER FIELD, IT IS JUST WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB THEY HAVE DONE TO CONVERT THIS FOOTBALL STADIUM A FEW DAYS AGO AND A GREAT DEFENSIVE PLAY THERE AND TRINITY CHRISTIAN THINKS THEY HAVE THE BALL AND THEY KNOCKED IT LOOSE FROM AARON SILO.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE THAT GUY RIGHT THERE MAY HAVE MADE THE HIT AND THE BALL BOUNCED RIGHT BACK INTO SILO'S HANDS.

HE'S GOT A BREAK WITH THAT ONE AND THEY DID SEEM TO KNOCK IT OUT.

>> RYAN EARL THERE ON THE STOP AND THEY'LL KEEP THE BALL AND THE WOLVERINES AND THE ONE-YARD LOSS AND SECOND DOWN AND 11 NOW.

>> PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN, 13 AND 1 ON THE SEASON, BUT THEY ARE HAVING A TOUGH TIME GETTING ANYTHING GOING ON OFFENSE HERE AGAINST THIS TRINITY DEFENSE.

SILO ON SECOND DOWN.

HE'S ON THE MOVE.

>> INCOMPLETE INTENDED FOR JOSH BRIT.

AND THAT WILL WRING UP THIRD DOWN.

>> HE AUNT ABLE TO HAUL IT IN.

THAT WILL BE IN THE LAST EIGHT GAMES.

THINGS REALLY TOOK OFF AND A SLOW START FOR HIM AND WE HAVE ALMOST A STATE RECORD EARLIER THIS YEAR AND A MISDIRECTION THERE AND THE TRINITY DEFENSE WOULD HAVE NOTHING OF THAT ON THE CARRY BY MATT BRADLEY, JUST A FRESHMAN, FOURTH GAIN.

>> BRADLEY'S HAD A CAREER PRODUCTIVE SEASON RUNG THE FOOTBALL AND IT'S TOUCHDOWNS AND STOP THAT RUN.

>> PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN HAD A SHOT AT GETTING ON THE SCOREBOARD AND FOURTH DOWN FROM THE THREE AND THEY WERE STOPPED 50 YARDS SHORT BY A FEROCIOUS LION'S DEFENSE AND OTHERWISE IT'S BEEN TOUGH GOING FOR THEM OUTSIDE OF THAT DRIVE.

>> THERE WAS A RETURN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

BRYCE AND FRANKLIN IS ON NOW FOR THE PUNT AND BEFORE THAT, WE'VE GOT A FLAG.

>> WE'LL TAKE IT BACK FIVE YARDS AND THEY'LL PUNT IT AGAIN.

>> FIELD IS IN GREAT SHAPE.

NICE, CRISP EVENING AND DEFINITELY GET A CHANCE TO GET OUT AND ENJOY THIS FOOTBALL.

THREE DAYS, TODAY IS DAY ONE AND WE START TOMORROW AT HIGH NOON.

SAME AS SATURDAY, AS WELL AND HERE ON GPB.

GLAD YOU'RE WITH US AND THIS TIME HE TRIES IT AGAIN AND GETS IT AWAY AND NO YELLOW HANKIES.

AND HE'S TRYING TO FIND SOME POSITIVE YARDS AND GETS A FEW.

HOW ABOUT THAT PUNISHMENT?

>> WALTON PAYTON-ESQUE.

>> MY BOY.

I'M IMPRESSED BY THE WAY HE FIELDED THAT PUNT.

THAT'S A LITTLE WILLYIE MAYS OVER THE SHOULDER THERE.

>> RIGHT.

>> HE MADE THE CATCH AND HAULED IT IN AND AT THE END, LOOK.

HEY!

>> NUMBER 48 WADE McCOMMACK.

WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?

DAVID CALLS HIS OWN NUMBER AND A BIG GAIN OF EIGHT YARDS AND GETS IT INTO PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN TERRITORY FOR THE SECOND DOWN AND SHORT.

>> YOU KNOW, LARRY, WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THIS GUY DOES WHEN HE THROWS THE FOOTBALL AND IF HE CAN DO THAT EVERY TIME I'LL TAKE IT.

>> IT'S DALLAS AGAIN AND HE'S INSIDE THE 40 AND DOWN TO THE 37, TALKING WITH COACH GREG DALLAS YESTERDAY AS WE MENTIONED AND HE SAID HE'S A GREAT BELIEVER THAT PROGRAMS ARE BUILT FROM JANUARY TO AUGUST.

THE CHAMPIONS ARE BUILT WHEN NO ONE IS WORKING AND WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE WEIGHT ROOM?

THESE GUYS CLEARLY HAVE DONE THAT AND WANT TO FLEX EVERY CHANCE THEY GET.

>> IT HAS BEEN REFLECTED ALL SEASON LONG AND FIRST DOWN AND MORE, BROUGHT DOWN BY LANE WHIRL, THE JUNIOR.

NICE RUN BY WHIRLY.

IS THAT THE RIGHT SIDE AND GOT A NICE HOLE AND GIVE IT TO THEM AGAIN.

>> OUT OF BOUNDS, JUST SHY OF THE 10 AND TRINITY CHRISTIAN AND JUST A FEW RUSHES AND IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL AS SAM MENTIONED AND THE OFFENSE AGAIN AND THIS TIME A FLAG AND NOT SURE THEY WERE SET.

MAYBE AGAINST THE LIONS AND SEE WHAT THE CALL IS.

>> THERE'S NOTHING ON THE PLAY, TIME OUT.

VAN DER GRIFT WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT AND 7:42 LEFT TO GO IN THE QUARTER.

THIS IS THE BEST DRIVE THAT TRINITY CHRISTIAN HAS HAD.

AS WE MENTIONED THE SCORES COMING ON THE LONG TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME AND LATER THE INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN AND VERY QUICK, BANG-BANG TO START THIS GAME SINCE THE DEFENSIVE BATTLE THROUGHOUT AND THIS IS THE FIRST SUSTAINED DRIVE THEY'VE HAD.

>> VAN DER GRIFT SEES SOMETHING HAPPENING AND THEY'RE NOT THROWING IT.

THEY'RE RUNNING IT AND THEY'RE SCORING DEFENSE TO CATCH ITS BREATH A LITTLE BIT COLLECTIVELY TO SHORT CIRCUIT AND IT'S BEEN GOING SO VERY WELL FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN ON THIS POSSESSION.

>> AND YOUR OFFENSE HAS STRUGGLED TO MOVE THE BALL AGAINST THIS TRINITY TRYSTIAN DEFENSE AND YOU NEED TO HOLD THEM RIGHT HERE.

21-0 AND YOU SCORED A LOT OF POINTS RIGHT HERE.

21-0 AND THE WAY THIS IS GOING THE FIRST QUARTER AND A HALF, THAT'S A DEEP HOLE TO FALL INTO.

NOT THAT YOU CAN'T WIN, BUT IT CHANGES THE TRAJECTORY OF THIS GAME.

>> IT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER.

>> LIONS DOWN AT THE 12.

PRINCE AVENUE, THEIR SECOND TIME OUT AND WE ARE BACK NOW TO LIVE ACTION.

7:42.

DALLAS TO THROW, INTO THE END ZONE AND -- WHAT A CATCH!

TOUCHDOWN!

HIS SECOND OF THE DAY!

>> MY GOODNESS.

>> SAM, PERFECTLY PLACED BALL BACK TO THE CORNER OF THE END ZONE WHERE YOUR RECEIVER CAN GET IT.

THE DEFENSIVE BACK HAD NO CHANCE AT THAT AND EITHER DIDN'T COMPLETE OR THE TOUCHDOWN AND GAVE TO THE ACROBATIC ATHLETIC PLAY AND HE HOLDS ON TO THE SCORE.

THAT WILL SHOW YOU HE HAS A NICE TOUCH TO LAY IT DOWN THERE AND YOU HAVE TO CONCENTRATE AND KEEPS AN EYE ON IT AND PULLS IT IN.

EXTRA POINT THERE IS UP AND GOOD AND WHAT A START FOR TRAINITY CHRISTIAN.

AARON GATES.

THE 55 YARD TO START THIS GAME AND NICE TOUCH.

NICE FOCUS.

LOOKS LIKE HE'LL PULL THAT THING IN WITH ONE HAND NOW AND PUTS THAT RIGHT HAND UP THERE AND SAYS WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE AND PULLS IT IN AND THIS IS AFTER THEY'VE BEEN RUNNING THE BALL UP THE FIELD AND THEY'RE THERE TO THE 10 ON THE SIDE AND SHOWED SOME TOUCH JUST THE RIGHT PLACE SO YOU CAN PROCEED AND GO OUT OF BOUNDS AND NO CHANCE FOR INTERCEPTION.

>> WHAT A SHOT BY THIS TRINITY CHRISTIAN OFFENSE AND WE HAVE NOT CALLED THE NAME OF JOSH DALLAS VERY OFTEN BECAUSE OF WHAT GABE HAS DONE ASK JOSH DALLAS IS SOMEONE WHO HAS COMMITTED TO PLAY FOR WESTERN MICHIGAN NEXT YEAR FOR THE DIVISION 1 SCHOOL AND THIS OFFENSE IS CLICKING ON SO MANY CYLINDERS, WE HAVEN'T HAD TO UTILIZE THE SKILLS.

>> THEY'LL HAVE TO WANT TO BE COZY HERE.

HE FINDS THE SEAM AND REVERSES FIELD AND WHAT A GREAT RETURN THERE BY BAILEY STOCKTON.

LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN SPARK THE WOLVERINES' OFFENSE AND FINDS IT 21-0 HERE IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

>> 7:26 TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME AND YOU WANT SOMETHING TO GET YOUR TEAM MOTIVATED AND SOMETHING TO GET YOUR SPARK AND HERE IT IS FROM STOCKTON AND ONE WAY.

SPINS AND FINDS IT OPEN AND LET'S SEE WHAT THIS OFFENSE CAN DO.

YOU SEE THE TOTAL YARDS THERE AND AARON GATES WITH MORE YARDS IN THIS PRINCE AVENUE OFFENSE AND WHAT A HALF FOOTBALL FOR GATES AND THE WIDE RECEIVER FOR THE LIONS.

FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 36.

AND WORKING WITH BROCK VAN DER GRIFT WITH THE QUARTERBACK FOR VOLUNTARY WORK OUT IN THE SCHOOL GYM.

THROWING FOR A STATE RECORD OF OVER 4700 YARDS.

THREW FOR 557 IN WEEK TWO.

THAT'S NUMBER TWO ALL TIME IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

>> BOY, IS YOUR ARM TIRED AFTER THAT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

GREAT JOB BY PHILO TO ESCAPE THE SACK.

GETS A POSITIVE YARD BEFORE HE'S BROUGHT DOWN THERE.

SLIDE BY RYAN EARL.

THIRD AND LONG NOW FOR THE WOLVERINES.

LOOK AGAIN HERE AT PHILO.

COACH VANDAGRIFF SAID I REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND EMPTY SETS.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT SHREDS THE DEFENSE.

THIRD AND NINE.

DEWITT IN MOTION.

PHILO UNDER PRESSURE.

GETS IT TO STOCKTON.

HE'S GOT A FIRST DOWN.

AND PAST MIDFIELD FOR PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

THEY KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE.

>> HELPED MAKE THAT PLAY GO.

GREAT CALL AND GREAT TIME FOR THE CALL HERE.

>> STOCKTON THE LEADER IN RECEPTIONS IN CLASS A BALL.

SCHOOL RECORD HOLDER FOR CATCHES IN A SEASON.

STOCKTON REACHING OUT.

ALMOST LOST THE BALL BUT THEY'LL SAY HE WAS DOWN BEFORE IT POPPED OUT OF HIS HANDS.

NO GAIN.

SECOND DOWN NOW AFTER THE RUN BY STOCKTON.

WE SEE THIS TRINITY CHRISTIAN DEFENSE REALLY STRETCHING IT OUT END TO END, EAST TO WEST.

>> THEY HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT FROM THE START OF THIS FOOTBALL GAME.

>> THAT'S RYAN EARL AGAIN.

THIS LIONS DEFENSE, WHAT A JOB THEY HAVE DONE TODAY.

>> LIKE A HEAT SEEKING MISSILE.

HE SHOWED UP ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE BALL DID.

WATCH NUMBER 44 IN WHITE.

HE'S ALL OVER THIS ONE.

>> BAILEY STOCKTON WAS THE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR IN THEIR REGION.

HE'S A FANTASTIC FOOTBALL PLAYER.

A LOSS OF SIX, THIRD AND 16 NOW.

PHILO COMPLETES TO STOCKTON.

WHAT A CATCH!

DOWN TO ABOUT THE 43.

YOU CAN SEE IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT FOUR YARDS SHORT OF A FIRST DOWN.

LET'S SEE WHAT GREG VANDAGRIFF IS GOING TO DO.

>> STOCKTON, GREAT RECEPTION.

>> NICE THROW AND CATCH BY THESE TWO STAR PLAYERS FOR PRINCE AVENUE.

FOURTH DOWN.

PHILO LOBS IT UP.

INCOMPLETE.

TRYING TO GET IT INTO THE HANDS OF JOSH.

>> THREW IT OUT THERE JUST A LITTLE TOO FAR FOR HIM.

GATES IS THERE ON THE PLAY DEFENDING.

>> STILL GOING!

BRYCE WILCOX, TOUCHDOWN TRINITY!

THERE'S A FLAG ON THE PLAY, SO HOLD ON.

>> THE WAY THAT WHOLE PLAY ROLLED OUT IS JUST A LITTLE ODD.

>> Referee: ON THE OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT.

>> AGAIN, IN TERMS OF THE FAKE HANDOFF AND ONE OF THE LINEMEN DIDN'T STAY HOME.

SO THEY'LL TAKE THAT TOUCHDOWN OFF THE BOARD AND A BREAK FOR PRINCE AVENUE, JUST THAT CLOSE TO BEING DOWN BY FOUR TOUCHDOWNS.

>> THE BALL POPS OUT RIGHT AT THE GOAL LINE, THINK ABOUT WHERE THIS GAME COULD BE RIGHT NOW.

>> CLASS 1A A REMATCH OF LAST YEAR.

41-21 IS THE NUMBER TRINITY CHRISTIAN THOUGHT ABOUT FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

GOING TO GET SOME REVENGE HERE TODAY.

LANE WERLING.

THEY ARE WELL IN CONTROL OF THIS GAME, PICKING UP MORE THAN 11 YARDS PER PLAY IN THIS GAME.

DAVID DALLAS, QUICK PASS TO HIS BROTHER JOSH.

FIRST DOWN AND MORE.

WE HAVEN'T CALLED HIS NUMBER MUCH, BUT HE DELIVERS RIGHT THERE.

BIG PLAY FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> DALLAS TO DALLAS.

THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT ALL SEASON LONG.

TO HIS FAVORITE RECEIVER AND PICKING UP SOME YARDS AFTER THE CATCH.

WHAT A COMBINATION.

>> GOOD LOOK AT JOSHUA DALLAS RIGHT THERE.

15 TOUCHDOWNS ON THE SEASON.

BOTH THE DALLAS BOYS HEADED TO WESTERN MICHIGAN NEXT YEAR TO PLAY FOR THE BRONCOS.

THROWS.

IT'S COMPLETED.

THERE IS NO WHISTLE.

BRYCE WILCOX WITH THE CATCH.

IT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN.

WHAT A PLAY BY DAVID DALLAS TO KEEP THAT PLAY ALIVE.

I THOUGHT HE WAS DOWN.

>> I THOUGHT HE WAS DOWN TOO.

WILCOX HAULS IT IN FOR YOU.

IT MAKES YOU LOOK REALLY GOOD, RIGHT?

HE'S GOT BIG PRESSURE ON HIM.

HAUL IT IN AND MAKE ME LOOK GOOD!

>> GREAT JOB DOWNFIELD BY HARRISON, NUMBER 11 THERE.

LIONS ON THE MOVE.

NEARING 2:30 TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

HE'S GOT A FIRST DOWN.

DOWN TO THE 15 OF THE WOLVERINES.

>> LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I'LL TAKE WHAT THIS GUY GIVES YOU.

THE DEFENSE IS WATCHING FOR YOUR WIDE RECEIVERS AND YOUR RUNNING BACK.

OH BY THE WAY, YOUR QUARTERBACK CAN DO THIS FOR YOU TOO.

NICE STOP BY LUKE LEVERETT.

>> CLOCK RUNNING DOWN NEAR 2 MINUTES TO GO.

14 RUSHES, 9 PASSES, NICE BALANCE ON THE OFFENSE FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

DALLAS HANDS OFF TO WERLING, WHO WAS STOPPED.

GREAT PLAY THERE IN THE BACKFIELD.

NICELY DONE BY BRODY HEALAN.

THEY TRAILED ONLY 72 SECONDS THE ENTIRE SEASON BEFORE LAST WEEK'S SEMIFINAL WIN.

DALLAS ESCAPED FROM PRESSURE THERE.

INCOMPLETE, BUT A THIRD DOWN.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SACK.

HE'S SHOWING SOME SKILLS BACK THERE, SOME ELUSIVETY BACK THERE, ELUSIVENESS, IF YOU WILL.

>> HE'S GIVING RECEIVERS SOME TIME.

HE AVOIDS THE SACK, THROWS THE BALL INTO THE END ZONE.

>> HOW ABOUT A COMPLETION PERCENTAGE OF ALMOST 80% FOR DAVID DALLAS THIS SEASON?

SOME GAUDY VIDEO GAME-LIKE NUMBERS FOR THIS YOUNG MAN.

TOUCHDOWN!

HE GOT ANOTHER ONE!

HARRISON ON THE CATCH.

IT'S ALL TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

YET ANOTHER SCORE HERE BEFORE HALFTIME.

MAN, WHAT A PERFORMANCE >> WE TALK ONCE AGAIN ABOUT DAVID DALLAS AND THAT TOUCH.

MAKES THE CATCH FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY YOU WANT THE BALL TO BE PLAYED.

>> TIME NOW FOR THE KICK.

UP AND GOOD BY MAUPIN.

KNOWING WHAT KIND OF TOUCH TO PUT ON BOTH THOSE TOUCHDOWN PASSES, HE'S ALREADY HAD THREE HERE IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> SHOWING A GREAT DEAL OF MATURITY AND THE WORK THAT GOES ON WHILE NOBODY'S WATCHING.

PAYS OFF ON A PLAY LIKE THAT ONE.

>> IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE BY TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

NOAH MAUPIN IS GETTING QUITE A WORKOUT.

>> IT'S A GOOD KIND OF WORKOUT.

>> MAUPIN, THE KICK.

STOCKTON WITH THE CATCH AT THE 8.

WHAT AN ATHLETE BAILEY STOCKTON, JUST DOES IT ALL.

EVEN HAD SOME PAINT KNOCKED OFF HIS HELMET.

>> LOOK AT THAT.

>> HOW HARD'S IT BEEN IN THIS FIRST HALF?

JUST LOOK.

>> THAT TELLS IT.

IT HAS BEEN A ROUGH FIRST HALF FOR PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

THE TEAM THAT CAME HERE LAST YEAR TO WIN IT ALL.

IT'S BEEN A DIFFERENT STORY IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> ONLY ONE LOSS THE ENTIRE SEASON.

PICKED OFF!

TOUCHDOWN, THE SECOND PICK SIX OF THE DAY!

NUMBER 43 COMTE.

MAUPIN NOW WITH THE EXTRA POINT.

WE DID NOT SEE THIS COMING.

WE KNEW WE'D HAVE A LOT OF FIREWORKS, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WOULD HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

>> ONE DIRECTION HERE IN THIS GAME.

>> GIVE CREDIT TO THE TRINITY CHRISTIAN LIONS OUT OF SHARPSBURG AND THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE.

THESE ARE GUYS THAT COULD BE HEAD COACHES ELSEWHERE.

WHAT A PROGRAM HE HAS BUILT IN SHARPSBURG.

I BELIEVE IT'S ONLY THE FOURTH SEASON IN GASA.

WHEN HE TOOK OVER THEY WERE IN GISA.

HE LOST AS A HEAD COACH IN 2011 AND LAST YEAR IN 2020.

HE SAID MY BOYS PLAYED FOR EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN.

I WAS THERE AS AN ASSISTANT.

THE OLDER BROTHERS SAY, YEAH, WE GOT A TITLE.

WHERE'S YOUR TITLE?

>> Referee: TIMEOUT, TRINITY.

>> HE JUST CALLED A TIMEOUT HERE WITH 1:10 TO GO HERE UNTIL HALFTIME WITH A 35-0 LEAD.

>> WHICH IS UNUSUAL.

HE HAD TWO TIMEOUTS AND HE CALLED IT BEFORE THE KICK.

>> YOU GOT TIMEOUT.

YOU GOT TO USE THEM.

YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM TO THE SECOND HALF.

>> YEAH.

>> HE FIGURED HE'D MAKE USE OF THAT TIMEOUT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

70 SECONDS TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

THE BRADENS ARE PROUD SPONSORS OF GPB HIGH SCHOOL AND CONGRATULATE ALL ATHLETES ON THEIR OUTSTANDING SEASON.

WE MENTIONED ONE MORE GAME COMING UP LATER TONIGHT.

IT'S THE CLASS 1A PUBLIC CHAMPIONSHIP.

IRWIN VERSUS BROOKS COUNTY.

WE ARE BACK ON THE AIR TOMORROW AT 12:00 WITH THREE GAMES TOMORROW AND THREE MORE GAMES ON SATURDAY.

BUSY WEEK.

WE WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY HERE FROM DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.

SHORT KICK THIS TIME.

IT'S FIELDED THERE BY BRITT.

>> HE'S NOT GOING TO KICK IT TO STOCKTON.

>> OKAY.

>> WHY GIVE THEM THE MOMENTUM?

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

JUST POP IT UP THERE AND LET ONE OF THE LINEBACKERS GET IT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> LOOK WHAT THE DEFENSE HAS DONE TO HIM IN THIS GAME.

THE YOUNG SOPHOMORE, SUCH A TALENTED YOUNG PLAYER, GREAT PROSPECT.

HE'S HAD HIS TROUBLES TONIGHT TRYING TO SOLVE THIS LIONS DEFENSE.

PHILO ON THE MOVE.

FINDS HIS MAN DEWITT AND GETS A FIRST DOWN.

OUT OF BOUNDS.

THE CLOCK AT 1:04.

THE WOLVERINES NOW TRY TO GET ON THE SCOREBOARD BEFORE HALFTIME.

>> GIVE THE BALL TO THE GUY WHO'S BEEN VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR US TONIGHT.

DEWITT MAKES A GREAT CATCH AND PICKS UP A LITTLE BIT OF YARDAGE AFTERWARDS.

>> GOOD LOOKING PLAYER FOR THE WOLVERINES.

FIRST DOWN AGAIN FOR PHILO.

HE'S GOING UP TOP.

WHAT A PLAY!

DEFENSIVE EFFORT THERE BY TYSON WALL, THE SENIOR.

GREAT JOB.

LOOKED LIKE A TOUCHDOWN TO STOCKTON.

>> LOOKED LIKE STOCKTON HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE TO GET THAT FOOTBALL.

>> GREAT DEFENSIVE STOP THERE.

>> FANTASTIC PLAY.

GREAT JOB BY THE PRINCE AVENUE OFFENSIVE LINE.

THEY'VE REALLY DONE A NICE JOB OF TRYING TO PROTECT PHILO AND KEEP THOSE ATHLETIC LINEMEN OFF OF HIM.

GREAT JOB BY PHILO THERE.

THAT'S A CATCH BY A PLAYER'S NUMBER WE HAVE NOT CALLED YET.

ETHAN CHRISTIAN.

>> HE'S HAD A GREAT SEASON.

>> WE HOPE THAT'S NOT SERIOUS AS THEY TEND TO HIM.

>> EXTREMELY VALUABLE PLAYER ON THIS DEFENSIVE UNIT, A GUY WHO GETS THINGS DONE.

WE'VE CALLED OUT HIS NAME A LOT EARLY IN THIS GAME.

GOT OFF TO A GREAT START WITH SOME KEY DEFENSIVE STOPS FOR THIS TEAM.

RIGHT NOW THEY'RE CONCERNED AND TAKING A LOOK AT HIM.

>> JOHNSON WITH MULTIPLE OFFERS FROM SOME SMALLER COLLEGES, SO HE HAS A CHANCE TO PLAY ON THE NEXT LEVEL.

IF YOU'RE JUST TUNING IN, 35-0.

IT HAS BEEN THAT KIND OF DOMINATION FROM VERY FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME BY DAVID DALLAS, HEADED TO WESTERN MICHIGAN, TO AARON GATES, WHO'S COMMITTED TO FLORIDA, FOR A TOUCHDOWN.

THEY HOOKED UP LATER FOR ANOTHER SCORE AND ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN PASS LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND TWO INTERCEPTIONS RETURNED FOR TOUCHDOWNS.

THAT'S BEEN THE SCORING RIGHT HERE FOR THE LIONS.

IT HAS BEEN A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE OF THIS REMATCH IN LAST YEAR'S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THAT WAS WON BY PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

VERY DIFFERENT STORY TONIGHT.

>> THAT IS A GOOD SIGHT TO SEE HIM BACK UP AND OFF THE FIELD AND HOPEFULLY ABLE TO CONTINUE IN THE GAME.

>> FANS GETS A TRIP IN SHARPSBURG.

>> THERE THEY ARE.

>> THIRD AND ONE NOW.

WOLVERINES TRYING TO GET A FIRST DOWN AND KEEP THIS DRIVE GOING.

THEY DO JUST THAT AND THEY GET OUT OF BOUNDS AS WELL TO STOP THE CLOCK.

MACK BRADLEY, THE FRESHMAN, WITH HIS BIGGEST PLAY SO FAR.

FROM THE 29, FIRST DOWN AARON PHILO UNDER PRESSURE AGAIN.

GOING DEEP.

HE'S GOT HIS MAN STOCKTON.

IT'S A CATCH.

BAILEY STOCKTON, 27-YARD PICKUP.

IT'S FIRST DOWN AND GOAL FROM THE 2.

WOLVERINES MEAN BUSINESS HERE BEFORE HALFTIME.

>> GIVE STOCKTON TIME TO FIND A LITTLE SPOT THERE FOR THE SECONDARY.

HE FOUND IT AND HAULS IT IN.

NOW WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN GET A SCORE HERE.

TIME'S RUNNING OUT.

>> ONE TIMEOUT LEFT.

I'M NOT SURE THEY REALIZE THE CLOCK IS MOVING.

INSIDE 20.

AARON PHILO, THE CALL.

12 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK.

GOING UP TOP TO DEWITT.

OH!

IT'S KNOCKED AWAY!

HE CAUGHT IT.

TOUCHDOWN!

DEWITT!

WHAT A GAME.

AND WHAT A SCORE BEFORE HALFTIME TO GET ON THE BOARD.

>> THAT IS SO KEY FOR PRINCE AVENUE.

WATCH THE PASS.

THE DEFENDER IS GOING TO COME IN AND KNOCK THE BALL FREE.

DEWITT WITH THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO KNOW THE BALL IS RIGHT THERE AND PULL IT IN.

HE CONTINUES TO IMPRESS YOU EVERY TIME THE BALL COMES IN HIS DIRECTION IN THIS GAME.

THAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE AT A TIME LIKE THIS.

THAT IS SO CRUCIAL.

>> EXTRA POINT IS UP AND GOOD.

ELIJAH DEWITT, A JUNIOR, ONE OF THE PLAYERS IN THIS GAME LAST YEAR WITH THIS PROGRAM, ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THIS TEAM.

YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU NEEDED THAT PLAY, NEEDED THAT ATHLETIC ABILITY.

HE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR THIS TEAM TO KEEP THEM IN IT.

THE SCORE IS STILL LOPSIDED.

YOU MAY LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, BOY, THIS ISN'T WHERE WE WANT TO BE AT HALFTIME, BUT GETTING ON THE BOARD 35-6 IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN 35-0.

>> 35-7.

IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY YOU GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM.

YOU GO IN WITH SOMETHING POSITIVE.

FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG IN THE FIRST HALF, HERE YOU ARE WITH SOMETHING GOOD TO BUILD ON AS YOU MAKE YOUR ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE SECOND HALF.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN ON THE BOARD WITH 6 SECONDS TO GO.

WHAT A CATCH THERE.

ADD THAT TO THE MANY INCREDIBLE HIGHLIGHTS.

PHILO TO DEWITT, 65 YARDS, SIX PLAYS.

IT TOOK 1:04 ON THAT SCORING DRIVE.

KICK NOW TO GATES.

HE FIELDS IT.

STILL ON HIS FEET.

RETURNS IT OUT PAST MIDFIELD.

>> I'M HOLDING MY BREATH OVER HERE LIKE, YOU DON'T SUPPOSE?

[ LAUGHTER ] >> OH MAN.

>> 24 MINUTES ARE IN THE BOOKS.

WE DID NOT THINK WE WOULD SEE THIS.

IT HAS BEEN ALL TRINITY CHRISTIAN SAVE FOR THAT FINAL DRIVE BY PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

35-7 HERE AT HALFTIME IN THE CLASS 1A PRIVATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

GOOD LOOK THERE AT AARON GATES.

TWO TOUCHDOWN CATCHES DURING THE FIRST HALF.

IT'S QUARTERBACK DAVID DALLAS, THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES IN THE FIRST HALF.

GOOD LOOK AT THE WOLVERINES, DOWN 35-7, THE CHAMPIONS OF A YEAR AGO WITH A LOT TO WORK ON HERE IN THE FINAL 24 MINUTES.

LET'S GO TO TABITHA.

>> WHAT'S WORKING WELL FOR YOUR OFFENSE?

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT INVESTED, YOU PLAY HARD.

>> ALMOST A SHUTOUT HALF FOR YOUR DEFENSE.

HOW CAN YOU BUILD ON THAT HALF AND FURTHER LIMIT PRODUCTION FROM PRINCE AVENUE IN THE SECOND ONE?

>> THEY SCORED ON US.

THEY GOT A GOOD OFFENSE.

WE GO BACK AND WIN THE NEXT HALF.

THAT'S IT.

WE'RE READY TO GO IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> GOOD LUCK IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> I LOVE IT.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY LEADING AT THE HALF 35-7.

WE HAVE AJAM-PACKED DAY AND WEEKEND.

WE HAVE A LOT MORE COMING UP FOR YOU AT THE HALF.

THIS IS THE REST.

WE HAVE THE SINGLE A PUBLIC GAME, IRWIN COUNTY AND BROOKS COUNTY.

THAT IS THE LAST GAME OF THE EVENING, THEIR FOURTH MEETING IN TWO SEASONS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE AN EXCITING GAME.

WE'RE LIVE FROM OUR GPB STUDIOS RIGHT HERE IN ATLANTA.

OUR FRIEND JOHN NELSON IS AT CENTER PARK STADIUM AND HAS A SPECIAL GUEST WITH HIM.

>> IT IS TIME TO CATCH UP WITH THE HEADS OF SCHOOL FOR BOTH OF THESE INSTITUTIONS.

WE'RE GOING TO START THINGS OFF WITH THE PRINCE AVENUE COLONEL HATHAWAY RETURNING TO THE SHOW.

THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US.

>> MY PLEASURE.

>> WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS THAT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW AT PRINCE AVENUE?

>> WE CAME OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, I THINK, STRONGER THAN WE WENT IN WE'VE HAD A FANTASTIC YEAR AND GREAT TO BE BACK TODAY.

>> WHAT'S IT LIKE FROM AN ATHLETIC PERSPECTIVE?

>> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T FOLLOW THESE SMALLER SINGLE A SCHOOLS.

IT'S AN ANOMALY WE'VE BEEN BACK HERE.

IT'S JUST DOGGED DETERMINATION FOR THE PLAYERS.

>> WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON THESE DAYS THAT FOLKS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT ARE POINTS OF PRIDE?

>> WELL, LIKE I MENTIONED, WE'RE BLESSED WITH SOME GROWTH.

WE'RE BUILDING A NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDING.

WE HAD A SPIRITUAL REVIVAL IN FALL UNLIKE ANYTHING WE'VE SEEN.

WE HAD 60 KIDS MAKE DECISIONS FOR CHRIST.

>> WE'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU SOON.

THANK YOU.

>> MY PLEASURE.

THANK YOU.

>> WE'LL COME BACK IN JUST A LITTLE BIT WITH DR. MARK ANTHONY FROM TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> WE'LL HAVE MORE SCORES AND SPORTS COMING UP HERE ON THE HALFTIME SHOW.

STICK WITH US.

>>> WELCOME BACK INTO OUR GPB HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGENTS.

LET'S GO BACK TO CENTER PARK STADIUM WITH OUR JOHN NELSON, WHO HAS THE HEAD OF SCHOOL FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> TIME TO CATCH UP WITH DR. MARK ANTHONY, FRIEND OF THE NETWORK.

WHAT'S IT BEEN LIKE TO SEE THE GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL FROM THE TIME YOU'VE BEEN THERE UNTIL NOW?

>> I'VE BEEN THERE 22 YEARS.

IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE WITH GEORGIA PUBLIC.

IT WAS K THROUGH FIFTH GRADE WHEN I STARTED.

THIS IS OUR 12th YEAR OF HAVING A GRADUATING CLASS.

THIS IS ONLY OUR FOURTH YEAR IN GSHA SO IT'S A PRIVILEGE.

OVER THE PANDEMIC WE'VE GROWN BY ABOUT 350 STUDENTS.

WE JUST FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY REALLY WANT TO HAVE A GOOD CHRISTIAN PRIVATE EDUCATION.

>> RAPID FIRE FOR THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW.

WHAT'S IT BEEN LIKE TO SEE THIS FOOTBALL TEAM DO WHAT IT'S BEEN ABLE TO DO?

>> WE STARTED OFF A LITTLE BIT SLOW.

WE'VE GOT A GREAT COACHING STAFF.

WE BELIEVE EACH STUDENT BEARS THE IMAGE OF GOD AND THEY HAVE UNIQUE GIFTS AND TALENTS.

IT'S THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE OF OUR LIFE TO POUR INTO THEM AND SEE WHAT A BLESSING THEY CAN BE.

>> THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US DR. ANTHONY, HEAD OF SCHOOL TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> I LOVE IT, JOHN.

REAL QUICK, WHEN YOU WERE INTERVIEWING BOTH OF THE HEADS OF SCHOOLS, I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THE CROWD BEHIND YOU.

IS THAT ALL FOR TRINITY AND PRINCE AVENUE, OR IS IRWIN AND BROOKS SLIDING IN THERE TOO?

>> NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ME TURN AROUND REALLY QUICKLY AND FIGURE OUT -- SO THAT LOOKS LIKE TRINITY CHRISTIAN COLORS OVER THERE.

I HAVE SEEN SOME RED.

THEY'RE IN THE END ZONES RIGHT NOW.

THINGS ARE KIND OF BUILDING, BUT OVER ON THAT FAR SIDELINE THAT IS THE PURPLE OF TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> THANKS AS ALWAYS, JOHN.

WE'VE GOT SO MUCH MORE COMING UP FOR YOU IN OUR GPB HALFTIME SHOW.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK.

STICK WITH US.

>>> WELCOME BACK INTO OUR GPB HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGENTS.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK.

TYPICALLY WE NAME A PLAYER OF THE FIRST HALF.

JOHN, WE'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE FIRST HALF HAS BEEN ALL TRINITY.

WE'VE HEARD A FEW NAMES REPEATEDLY.

OBVIOUSLY DALLAS, THE QUARTERBACK, BEING ONE OF THEM.

BUT IT'S HARD FOR US TO MENTION THE PLAYER OF THE FIRST HALF WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE-TWO PUNCH OF DALLAS TO GATES.

>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GATES, HE AVERAGES ABOUT 16 YARDS A CATCH.

I THINK COME INTO THE GAME HE HAD 750 YARDS ON THE YEAR.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE DEPTH THAT WE'VE SEEN FROM TRINITY CHRISTIAN, IT'S NOT JUST DALLAS TO DALLAS.

GATES CAN HELP YOU OUT WHEN THE DEFENSE IS SITTING IN UMBRELLA COVERAGE.

LET'S TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT DALLAS TO DALLAS DOESN'T HAPPEN.

JUST BECAUSE THAT NONSTOP ROUTE THAT'S BEEN THERE ALL SEASON GETS INTERRUPTED, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SECONDARY TARGETS.

WE'RE SEEING THAT IN THAT CONNECTION WITH DALLAS AND GATES SO FAR IN THE FIRST 24 MINUTES.

AT THE SAME TIME DEFENSIVELY YOU'RE ALSO SEEING THE PRESSURE THAT TRINITY CHRISTIAN HAS BEEN PUTTING ON AARON PHILO.

THE FIRST SCORE THAT WAS PRESSURE AND TURNED INTO AN INTERCEPTION AND THE RUN BACK THE OTHER WAY SET THE TONE EARLY ON.

IT WAS DEFENSE MAKING SURE THAT PRINCE AVENUE WAS REMINDED THAT TRINITY CHRISTIAN ISN'T JUST DALLAS TO DALLAS AND DALLAS TO GATES.

>> I LOVE HOW YOU MENTIONED TRINITY'S DEFENSE.

BRYCE WILCOX HAD A KILLER INTERCEPTION FOR A TOUCHDOWN RETURN.

THEN DAVID COMPTE STEPPED UP BIG AND ALSO HAD A PICK SIX.

>> THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

WHEN YOU GET THAT KIND OF IMPACT FROM A FRESHMAN THAT REALLY, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING ALL YEAR, YOU'RE REALLY NOT A FRESHMAN RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE PLAYING MORE LIKE THAT EXPERIENCED PLAYER.

RISING SOPHOMORE COMPTE IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW, IS THE WAY I WOULD PHRASE IT.

GETTING IMPACT FROM BOTH UNDER CLASSMEN AND UPPER CLASSMEN.

>> IT'S GOING TO BE FUN TO ROOT FOR WESTERN MICHIGAN AND THE DALLAS BROS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

STAY WARM.

ALL RIGHT.

AS ALWAYS, WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS YOU CAN DO THAT.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER TAG GPB SPORTS.

YOU CAN FIND US OVER ON INSTAGRAM.

WE ARE STREAMING THE GAME LIVE ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.

DEFINITELY SAY HI THERE AS WELL.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR TUNING IN.

WE LOVE CONNECTING WITH YOU GUYS.

TAG GPB SPORTS.

THAT'S IT FOR OUR GPB HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGENTS BANK.

BACK TO OUR SECOND HALF OF THE TRINITY SINGLE A PRIVATE GAME BETWEEN TRINITY AND PRINCE AVENUE.

THAT IS US SIGNING OFF FOR OUR HALFTIME SHOW.

WE'LL SEE YOU RIGHT BACK HERE FOR OUR TAILGATE PARTY SHOW IN BETWEEN THE GAMES AS WE GET READY FOR IRWIN COUNTY AND BROOKS COUNTY.

>>> MOMENTS AWAY FROM STARTING THE SECOND HALF HERE.

35-7 THE COUNT.

TRINITY CHRISTIAN OVER PRINCE AVENUE.

TABITHA STANDING BY WITH COACH VANDAGRIFF.

>> HOW CAN YOU BUILD ON THAT MOMENTUM GOING INTO THE SECOND?

>> WE JUST NEED TO MINIMIZE OUR MISTAKES, DO A BETTER JOB ON SOME MAN TO MAN MATCHUPS.

THEN WE NEED TO GET A COUPLE STOPS RIGHT HERE.

>> TALKING ABOUT STOPS DEFENSIVELY, SEEMS LIKE TRINITY CHRISTIAN GETTING A LOT OF WHAT THEY WANT.

HOW CAN YOU FURTHER LIMIT THEIR PRODUCTION?

>> WE NEED A COUPLE KIDS TO MAKE SOME PLAYS.

THEY'RE YOUNG.

THEY'RE HITTING US IN THE MOUTH A LITTLE BIT.

WE HAVEN'T RESPONDED WELL, SO WE JUST NEED TO DO BETTER IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> PRINCE AVENUE HAS SOME WORK TO DO IF THEY WANT TO CLOSE OUT THIS ONE.

BACK TO YOU GUYS.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TALKING AGAIN HERE AT HALFTIME ABOUT TO START THE THIRD QUARTER.

WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS GAME IN TERMS OF THE SECOND HALF, I THINK FOR COACH IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.

JUST GO OUT THERE AND PLAY 24 MINUTES AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> EXECUTE AND KEEP IT CLEAN.

YOU'RE GIVING AWAY TOUCHDOWNS.

ANY MISTAKES, THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY.

SO COME OUT AND BE CLEAN.

>> WE DID NOT THINK THEY'D BE SO LOPSIDED.

STARTED FROM THE VERY FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME, DALLAS UP TOP TO GATES.

>> WHO WAS LOOKING FOR THIS, HUH?

STARTING THE GAME OFF WITH SOME EXPLOSION.

NUMBER 6 IS JUST GETTING STARTED.

>> IT WAS AARON PHILO UNDER PRESSURE.

THAT'S BRYCE WILCOX WITH THE INTERCEPTION.

TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE.

IT'S DALLAS AND GATES AGAIN.

>> THE CONCENTRATION, THE ONE HAND TO LOOK UP AND PULL IT IN.

AND THEN THE TOUCH RIGHT HERE.

>> HARRISON THERE ON THE CATCH.

THIRD TOUCHDOWN CATCH.

JUST LIKE THAT ON THE VERY NEXT SERIES TO COMPTE, THE FRESHMAN WITH THE PICK SIX 35-0.

WHAT A CATCH.

>> ELIJAH DEWITT KEEPS HIS EYE ON THE BALL AND BRINGS IT IN.

>> 35 POINTS FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

THEY HELD THE BALL LESS THAN 9 MINUTES.

314 TOTAL YARDS.

IT REALLY WAS A LOPSIDED FIRST HALF.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT MAKING THE MISTAKES THAT MAKE YOU PAY.

LOOK AT THAT TIME.

YOU'RE TRYING TO PLAY A LITTLE DEAN SMITH FOOTBALL HERE, TRYING TO LET THE AIR OUT OF THE BALL, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING.

>> WHAT A GAME HERE WE'VE HAD IN THE FIRST 24 MINUTES.

THE YARD PER PLAY REALLY STANDS OUT, ALMOST 11 YARDS PER SNAP FOR THIS LIONS OFFENSE AS THEY ARE NOW 24 MINUTES AWAY FROM THEIR FIRST EVER GSHA CHAMPIONSHIP.

LET'S REVISIT THE KEYS TO THE GAME.

I WANT TO SEE NOW IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU SAID YOU HAD TO DO AND WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED.

TAKE IT AWAY.

>> TALKING ABOUT AARON GATES.

FIVE RECEPTIONS, 165 YARDS, A PAIR OF TOUCHDOWNS.

THEN HOW ABOUT SOME PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN DEFENSE.

LOOK WHAT THEY'VE ALLOWED.

THAT'S UNUSUAL FOR THEM THIS SEASON.

THAT'S HOW PROLIFIC THIS TRINITY CHRISTIAN OFFENSE HAS BEEN.

>> EIGHT PLAYS OF TEN PLUS YARDS.

UNBELIEVABLE.

THOSE KEYS TO THE GAME BROUGHT TO YOU BY PEST MANAGEMENT.

THIS IS THE FIRST GAME WE'RE SEEING TODAY WITH HELMETS AND PADS.

THE SECOND GAME COMING UP TONIGHT IS IRWIN COUNTY VERSUS BROOKS COUNTY.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOK FOR HERE IN THE SECOND HALF?

>> LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO BUILD ON IT AND SUSTAIN SOME DRIVES.

THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT PRINCE AVENUE WAS NOT ABLE TO DO.

GET THAT TRINITY CHRISTIAN OFFENSE OFF THE FIELD.

>> PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN SHOULD GET THE BALL FIRST.

LIVE ACTION TONIGHT.

GLAD YOU'RE ALONG FOR THE RIDE.

IT'S OUR FIRST OF THREE DAYS OF CHAMPIONSHIP COVERAGE HERE.

SAM AND I BACK WITH YOU AT NOON TOMORROW FOR THE CLASS 2A GAME THAT IS FITZGERALD VERSUS THOMASVILLE.

>> TWO GREAT COACHES AND TWO GREAT FOOTBALL TRADITIONS.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GAME TOMORROW AT NOON.

>> SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES.

WE ARE UP AND GOING.

MAUPIN WITH THE KICK.

THAT'S DEWITT WITH A NICE RETURN, GETTING OUT BEYOND THE 25 YARD LINE.

THAT'S WHERE THE WOLVERINES WILL START.

GREAT MOMENTUM THERE TO END THE FIRST HALF WITH A TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM PHILO TO DEWITT.

CAN THEY BUILD ON IT?

>> THAT'S WHAT WE LOOK FOR, LAST MAN TO TOUCH THE BALL BEFORE HALFTIME.

HERE COMES AARON PHILO.

WE'LL SEE HOW HE STARTS THE SECOND HALF.

>> WHAT A SEASON HE HAS HAD, THE SOPHOMORE IN HIS FIRST YEAR AS A STARTER REPLACING BROCK VANLD -- VANDAGRIFF, WHO'S NOW A GEORGIA BULLDOG.

BAILEY STOCKTON WITH A COUPLE OF HITS.

>> REFUSES TO GO DOWN.

>> YEAH.

GOOD START FOR THE WOLVERINES OFFENSE.

BRINGS UP SECOND DOWN.

JOSH DALLAS THERE, WE SAW EARLIER ON THE PUNT RETURN DISHING OUT SOME HITS, NUMBER 19 FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN DISHING OUT SOME HITS FOR THE DEFENSE.

HE'S ON A MISSION IN HIS FINAL HIGH SCHOOL GAME.

FIVE-YARD PICKUP WITH FLAG HERE.

>> Referee: ON THE OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

STILL SECOND DOWN.

>> MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME MOVEMENT THERE ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LINE FOR THE WOLVERINES.

THAT'S TOUGH BECAUSE THAT NEGATES THE FIVE YARDS YOU JUST PICKED UP.

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTS TO SEE COMING OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM.

YOU WANT TO SEE THINGS CLEAN, LIMIT THOSE PENALTIES AND MISTAKES.

>> PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN OUT OF ATHENS.

IN FACT, JUST MINUTES AWAY FROM THE UGA CAMPUS.

THEY PRACTICE AT THE UGA PRACTICE FACILITY A COUPLE TIMES.

NOW HE IS OUT OF BOUNDS.

JIMBO BATCHELOR.

>> THIS GUY MAKING PLAYS ALL NIGHT, HAULS IN THE THIRD INTERCEPTION THIS TIME.

GOT TRINITY CHRISTIAN WITH THE BALL AND MOMENTUM HERE EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> LIONS IN BUSINESS FOR THEIR FIRST OFFENSIVE SERIES ON THE SECOND HALF.

>> LUKE LEVERETT, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME.

JUST COULDN'T GET THOSE HANDS RIGHT OR HE'D STILL BE RUNNING WITH THAT THING.

HITS HIM RIGHT IN THE HANDS, BUT HE CAN'T HAUL IT IN.

SOMETHING THAT HIS TEAM REALLY NEEDS RIGHT NOW.

>> THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE MAKER.

DAVID DALLAS MAYBE TELEGRAPHING THAT PASS TO HIS BROTHER JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH.

HANDOFF, THE FAKE THROW AND THE TOUCHDOWN.

BRYCE WILCOX HAS THE TOUCHDOWN ON AN INTERCEPTION RETURN AND NOW THE RUN FROM SEVEN YARDS OUT TO SCORE.

THE LIONS STRIKE PAY DIRT FIRST HERE IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> SO SOON IN THE SECOND HALF.

THEY GET THE FOOTBALL BACK AND THEY CONVERT.

YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, THESE GUYS MAKE YOU PAY.

MAUPIN AS THE EXTRA POINT.

>> WE TALKED TO COACH VANDAGRIFF.

HE EVEN SAID WE'RE JUST GOT TO MINIMIZE THE STAKES.

THE FIRST MINUTE, THERE YOU GO WITH THE INTERCEPTION AND THE 42-7 SCORE RIGHT NOW.

MAUPIN TO KICK OFF.

>> ONCE AGAIN, THEY POP THAT KICKOFF UP.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SEND IT BACK TO THE RETURN GUY, STOCKTON OR DEWITT.

NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO TOUCH IT.

>> TWO IMPRESSIVE PLAYERS, NO QUESTION.

INSTEAD THAT FAIR CATCH MADE BY RYE LEE CARTY.RILEY.

>> LATE FLAG COMES IN.

>> Referee: 15-YARD PENALTY FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT RESULTS IN A FIRST DOWN.

>> THE LINE GAVE PHILO GOOD TIME THAT TIME TO REALLY GO THROUGH HIS PROGRESSIONS, LOOK FOR HIS RECEIVER AND HANG THE BALL OUT THERE FOR HIM.

OF COURSE, THE PENALTY CALL THERE, THE PASS INTERFERENCE.

>> HEAD COACH GREG DALLAS TALKED ABOUT THE SUPPORT FROM THE ADMINISTRATION AND WHAT HE'S WANTED TO DO YEAR ROUND DOWN THERE IN SHARPSBURG.

PHILO THROWS IT OUT OF BOUNDS TRYING TO GET IT IN THE VICINITY OF BRADLEY.

LESS THAN 90 TICKS INTO THIS SECOND HALF.

CLASS 1A COMING UP NEXT, IRWIN COUNTY VERSUS BROOKS COUNTY.

>> IN THE HANDS OF BRITT.

I BELIEVE THAT'S HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE DAY.

DOWN BY FIVE TOUCHDOWNS HERE.

NEED TO GET TO THE 48 OF TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

YOU CAN SEE THE RED LINE THERE ON YOUR SCREEN.

PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN IN BLUE.

TRINITY WEARING THEIR VISITING WHITE.

AARON PHILO, THE SOPHOMORE, GOT ALL KINDS OF TIME.

BAILEY STOCKTON!

TOUCHDOWN WOLVERINES!

>> THAT HELPS.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT STOCKTON ALL NIGHT AND WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF DOING.

HE SHOWED YOU RIGHT THERE.

HE'S GOT SOME TALENTED RECEIVERS.

>> PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN NOT GOING AWAY JUST YET.

THE WOLVERINES ANSWER THE TOUCHDOWN WITH ONE OF THEIR OWN.

AARON PHILO GETS IT DONE.

WOLVERINES ON THE BOARD.

>>> SECOND HALF.

SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT NOW WITH THE FANS COMING IN FROM ATHENS AND PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

42-14, THE WOLVERINES GETTING ON THE BOARD.

SEE IF THEY CAN CUT DOWN ON THE TURNOVERS AND INTERCEPTIONS AND STAY IN THIS GAME.

>> THEY'RE GIVING THE CROWD SOMETHING TO BE EXCITED ABOUT.

THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN UP YET.

THEY'VE COME A LONG WAY FOR THIS.

>> BRYSON FRANKLIN ON THE KICK.

AARON GATES, ONE OF THE MANY STARS OF THE GAME SO FAR.

THEY GET IT TO BRYCE WILCOX, ANOTHER STAR OF THE GAME, TWO TOUCHDOWNS, ONE ON OFFENSE, ONE ON DEFENSE.

CAN HE GET ONE ON SPECIAL TEAMS?

NOT THIS TIME.

GETTING IT OUT TO ABOUT THE 45 YARD LINE FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> THEY'VE GOT SOME GUYS WHO ARE TALENTED.

WILCOX STARTS ONE WAY, GOES BACK THE OTHER.

JUST WEAVES HIS WAY.

NICE RETURN.

>> VERY NICE RETURN.

OVER 700 YARDS RECEIVING ON THE SEASON AND A PAIR OF TOUCHDOWNS HERE TODAY.

HANDOFF TO THE SENIOR COSTNER.

SO BUSY LOOKING TO TRY TO FIND A HOLE, HE RAN RIGHT INTO GATES HERE.

>> DAVID DALLAS UNDER PRESSURE.

COSTNER DANCES AROUND.

USES HIS BLOCKER GATES AND GETS A FIRST DOWN.

>> WHAT A PLAY.

>> YEAH.

HOWARD HAD A SHOT AT HIM AND COULDN'T GET HIM.

DALLAS MADE IT HAPPEN.

>> MOVED AROUND.

>> DAVID DALLAS, THE SENIOR, WAS IN THIS GAME LAST YEAR.

WHAT A MATURATION BY HIM AND SO MANY OF HIS TEAMMATES.

>> HARRISON WITH A SHORT GAIN.

SECOND DOWN COMING UP.

>> HARRISON PICKING UP YARDS AFTER THE CATCH.

>> LIONS MOVING THE BALL.

WHIRLING AGAIN, THIS TIME ON SECOND AND THREE.

HE'S GOT THAT.

>> DAVID DALLAS PICKED OFF BY BAILEY STOCKTON IN THE END ZONE!

STOCKTON WITH A BIG PLAY FOR THE WOLVERINES.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEEDED, SAM.

NOT ONLY DO YOU STOP THEM FROM SCORING, BUT YOU GET SOME MOMENTUM AND HEAD THE OTHER WAY.

>> HE MAKES A TOUCHDOWN CATCH ON THE OFFENSE.

DENIES 6 MORE POINTS AS DALLAS RIFLES THAT ONE IN THERE.

>> NICE PLAY THERE BY STOCKTON.

DAVID DALLAS, ONLY HIS FIFTH INTERCEPTION THIS ENTIRE SEASON FOR THE 13-0 TRINITY CHRISTIAN LIONS.

GOOD LOOK AT STOCKTON.

>> GETS IT BACK OVER TO PHILO.

THEY'RE GOING TO BLOW IT DEAD.

PHILO WAS WINDING UP TO SHOW IT DEEP.

IF YOU'RE PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN WITH 18 MINUTES TO GO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START GOING MORE VERTICAL, THE WAY YOU HAVE SO FAR.

>> YOU HAVE TO.

THOSE PLAYS ARE IMPRESSIVE WHEN THEY WORK, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN THEY'RE SLOW DEVELOPING.

>> HE WAS BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

THAT WAS A LATERAL.

I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LEGAL PASS, HAD THEY BEEN ABLE TO PULL IT OFF.

DIDN'T GET THE CALL.

GETS IT TO BRITT.

HE'S GOT SOME ROOM.

A FIRST DOWN FOR THE WOLVERINES.

THEY'LL MOVE THE STICKS, NEARING THE HALFWAY POINT HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> GOOD CALL RIGHT HERE TO JOSH BRITT.

HE MOVES THE STICKS.

GOOD BLOCKING OUT IN FRONT.

EVEN ELIJAH DEWITT OUTSIDE BIG ON THAT PLAY.

>> PRINCE AVENUE HAS A LOT OF ATHLETES IN THE SKILL POSITIONS AND ALONG THE LINE AS WELL.

DEWITT YET AGAIN, WE'VE CALLED HIS NUMBER SO MANY TIMES.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE TODAY.

5:40 MARK.

ACROBATIC CATCH.

A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE FINAL MINUTE OF THE FIRST HALF WHERE IT WAS TIPPED.

CATCHES THE BALL AS HE'S FALLING FOR THE TOUCHDOWN, PUTTING THE WOLVERINES ON THE BOARD.

HERE HE IS AGAIN.

BIG TACKLE THERE, JUST A HOST OF LIONS.

BRYCE WILCOX WAS THERE.

JIMBO BATCHELOR.

>> WHAT A HIT.

>> WOLVERINES THIRD AND FOUR.

LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SCORE.

DEWITT AGAIN GOES UP HIGH AND BRINGS IT DOWN FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

AND THEY'RE INTO LIONS TERRITORY.

>> HE CLIMBED THE LADDER FOR THAT ONE.

>> HE DID.

NO ONE IS GOING TO GET HIT.

>> DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

IT'S A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

YOU CLIMB UP ON THAT LADDER AND PULL IT IN, TAKE THE SHOT, HANG ONTO THE BALL.

FIRST DOWN.

>> QUICK HIT AGAIN.

FIRST DOWN AND MORE.

STOCKTON SKIPS ONE TACKLE, INSIDE THE 20.

BROUGHT DOWN BY GATES.

THE WOLVERINES ON THE MOVE HERE.

IF THEY CAN GET A TOUCHDOWN HERE, THIS MAY CHANGE SOME THINGS.

THIS IS A TEAM THAT KNOWS HOW TO SCORE, A LOT OF OFFENSE, A LOT OF POINTS AND TRY TO PUT SOME ON THE BOARD.

>> THEY'RE STILL STATE CHAMPIONS.

IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD RIGHT NOW, BUT UNTIL THIS GAME IS OVER, THEY STILL HAVE THE TITLE.

THEY'RE PLAYING LIKE IT RIGHT NOW.

>> JUST LOOK AT THE EMOTION BY THE COACHES AND EVERYONE THERE ON THE SIDELINES.

>> WE'VE GOT A FLAG.

>> LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE AGAINST THE WOLVERINES.

OR MAYBE NOT.

>> Referee: PERSONAL FOUL, FACE MASK ON THE DEFENSE.

>> THAT'S AGAINST THE LIONS.

>> RIGHT THERE, INADVERTENT.

FLAG COMES IN.

>> GATES TRYING TO MAKE THE TACKLE.

SO HALFWAY TO THE GOAL.

FIRST AND GOAL FROM THE 3.

BRADLEY STILL ON HIS FEET.

HE'S GOING TO BE JUST SHORT.

MACK BRADLEY WITH THE POWER MOVE.

>> I LOVE TO SEE THAT ALIGNMENT.

THAT'S OLD SCHOOL.

YOU'RE TAKING THE SNAP FROM CENTER.

>> SAME PLAY.

>> THEY WERE STOPPED AT THE 1 ON FOURTH DOWN, COULDN'T GET IT IN.

THEY HAVE NOT HAD SUCCESS ON THE ONE GOAL LINE SHOT THEY'VE HAD AGAINST THIS LIONS DEFENSE.

>> THEY'RE DOING IT AGAIN.

>> RYAN EARL ON THE STOP.

FOURTH AND GOAL.

>> HANDOFF AND NOBODY GETS A BLOCK THERE.

WATCH JOSH DALLAS TURN THAT PLAY BACK IN.

>> TOUCHDOWN DEWITT!

WHAT A JOB BY THIS WOLVERINES OFFENSE TO TAKE THIS BALL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND SCORE AND GET ON THE BOARD.

>> JUST TOUCH IT.

RELENTLESS AND NOT GIVING UP.

THEY'RE STILL THE STATE CHAMPIONS UNTIL THIS GAME IS OVER.

THEY'RE SHOWING YOU THE HEART OF A CHAMPION.

STILL FIGHTING.

>> THAT WAS A GREAT PASS, BECAUSE HE WAS UNDER RELENTLESS PRESSURE BY BATCHELOR RIGHT THERE.

THE PERFECT TOUCH BY THE SOPHOMORE TO GET IT UP WHERE HE CAN RUN AND CATCH IT.

WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A BALL GAME HERE.

>> GREAT TOUCH.

LIKE YOU SAID, HE WAS UNDER DURESS AND HAD TO GET RID OF IT.

HE PUT IT IN JUST THE RIGHT PLACE.

WHO WAS THERE?

JOSH DALLAS.

ON DEFENSE, HE'S AROUND THE BALL AND TRIES TO MAKE THE PLAY HERE.

DEWITT HAULS IT IN FOR A SECOND TOUCHDOWN CATCH OF THE GAME.

>> LAST YEAR IT WAS A 41-21 PRINCE AVENUE VICTORY.

RIGHT NOW IT IS 42-21 TRINITY CHRISTIAN WITH THE LEAD.

STOCKTON AND DEWITT, THEIR NUMBERS COMBINING FOR 21 CATCHES, ALL THREE TOUCHDOWNS AS WELL, PHILO THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES.

THIS IS A BALL GAME RIGHT NOW.

>> IT'S 3:03 IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

YOU DO WANT TO SEE YOUR DEFENSE GO DOWN AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL.

>> FRANKLIN TRYING TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM GATES.

BIG TACKLE THERE ON SPECIAL TEAMS.

THAT DRIVE ALL BEGAN WITH THIS INTERCEPTION HERE BY STOCKTON.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

STOCKTON WITH THE INTERCEPTION.

DENIED THE TOUCHDOWN.

JUST GOT THINGS GOING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION FOR THE WOLVERINES.

THEY FINISH IT OFF RIGHT HERE WITH THE PASS AND THE SCORE.

DEWITT, GREAT CONCENTRATION TO PULL IT IN.

>> STOCKTON IS DOING SO MUCH ON BOTH ENDS TO KEEP THIS TEAM IN THE GAME.

>> THE OFFENSIVE LINE WITH ABOUT TEN YARDS PER PLAY, GETTING CLOSE TO 400 YARDS OF OFFENSE.

DAVID DALLAS STEPS UP.

HOWARD ALWAYS CAUSING PROBLEMS IN THE INTERIOR.

HE'S STARTING TO CATCH FIRE HERE IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> BIG PLAY HERE.

THROUGHOUT THE GAME WHENEVER DAVID DALLAS HAS CALLED HIS OWN NUMBER HE'S BEEN ABLE TO GET SOME PRODUCTIVE YARDAGE.

NOT THIS TIME, THOUGH.

>> THIRD AND FIVE.

LIONS GET TO THE 43 YARD LINE.

DAVID DALLAS CAUGHT BY JOSH DALLAS.

>> WHAT A TIME TO DIAL HIS NUMBER, HUH?

>> RIGHT.

>> THIRD AND FIVE, YOU HAD TO GET IT.

YOU GO TO THE GUY WHO'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE TONIGHT.

COMES UP BIG WHEN HIS TEAM REALLY NEEDS IT TO SUSTAIN A DRIVE, KEEP THE OFFENSE ON THE FIELD FOR THE LIONS.

>> GREAT QUICK THROW THERE.

HIS COACH, ALSO HIS DAD.

DALLAS UNDER PRESSURE.

ROLLS AWAY.

CAN HE ESCAPE?

YES.

THEY SAID HIS KNEE WASN'T DOWN.

FINALLY HE IS BROUGHT DOWN.

BALL COMES LOOSE!

THAT MAY BE PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN BALL.

>> THE WOLVERINES DEFENSE COMING UP BIG.

>> Referee: SIDELINE WARNING ON THE DEFENSE.

>> I KEPT LOOKING FOR DALLAS TO JUST GET RID OF IT.

YOU GOT A BIG LEAD.

COME BACK AND FIGHT ON ANOTHER PLAY.

JUST GET RID OF IT.

HE HANGS ONTO IT A LITTLE TOO LONG.

THERE HE IS.

HE WAS SLOW GETTING UP.

HE'S BACK ON THE SIDELINE.

THAT'S GOOD TO SEE.

>> NOW YOU GOT TRINITY'S OFFENSE WITH BACK TO BACK TURNOVERS AND A CHANCE NOW.

IN FACT, THE WOLVERINES WITH THEIR BEST STARTING POSITION THE ENTIRE NIGHT, ON THE LIONS' 26 YARD LINE.

PHILO LOOKING FOR MORE.

WOLVERINES TRY TO CLOSE WITHIN TWO SCORES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE FIRST QUARTER.

PHILO ON THE RUN, PUSHED OUT OF BOUNDS BY NUMBER 35.

BRINGS UP SECOND DOWN.

>> ETHAN McDOWELL SHOVED HIM OUT OF BOUNDS.

PHILO, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT.

THE DEFENSE HAS GIVEN YOU A GIFT OF GOOD FIELD POSITION.

MAKE THE PLAY THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE, FIND THE GUY THAT'S OPEN, EXECUTE.

>> SECOND AND SIX, SHOVEL PASS FROM BAILEY STOCKTON.

THE WOLVERINES NOW, FIRST DOWN, TRYING TO ADD TO THEIR TOTAL.

THIS WAS A 35-0 LEAD FOR TRINITY CHRISTIAN LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

PRINCE AVENUE GETTING A TOUCHDOWN IN THE FINAL MINUTES.

WE SAW THE INTERCEPTION THAT LED TO A TRINITY CHRISTIAN SCORE TO START IN THE OPENING SECONDS OF THIS THIRD QUARTER.

PRINCE AVENUE NOW WITH A COUPLE OF TOUCHDOWNS AND NOW DRIVING FOR A THIRD STRAIGHT SCORE.

>> DRIVING FOR A SCORE RIGHT NOW.

YOU'VE GOT A PLAYER BEING TREATED ON THE FIELD.

DALLAS DOESN'T WANT TO WASTE ANY TIME.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

>> REMATCH OF LAST YEAR'S 1A PRIVATE TITLE GAME WON BY PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN.

IT'S BEEN ALL LIONS SO FAR FROM TRINITY.

BUT WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS FROM PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN WOLVERINES.

>> STILL CAN'T BELIEVE DALLAS JUST THREW THAT BALL AWAY.

>> IT'S ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS YOU LOOK BACK LATER AND HOPE IT DOESN'T GO AGAINST YOU TOO MUCH.

>> YEAH.

1:24 TO GO IN THE THIRD.

THE CLOCK'S GOING TO START BACK RUNNING HERE.

WOLVERINES ARE GOING TO TRY TO FINISH THIS THING AND CONVERT.

>> TOUCHDOWN!

AARON PHILO!

PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN WOLVERINES, HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW!

>> ARE YOU FIRED UP OR WHAT?

THE FIRST HALF WAS PRETTY ROUGH.

COME OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM AND START THE SECOND HALF AND THROW ANOTHER INTERCEPTION.

AFTER ALL THAT HAS GONE WRONG, HERE HE IS.

NOBODY OPEN, NO PROBLEM.

I SEE GREEN GRASS AND A TOUCHDOWN.

>> BRYSON FRANKLIN FOR THE EXTRA POINT.

HE HAS BEEN BUSY ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS QUARTER.

SO WE NOW HAVE A BALL GAME.

TRINITY CHRISTIAN UP 42-7 IN THE FIRST MINUTES OF THIS THIRD QUARTER.

WHAT A JOB BY AARON PHILO TO SHAKE OFF THOSE MISTAKES AND COME BACK AND MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THE MATURITY OF THIS YOUNG MAN.

IF SOMETHING DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY, STAY WITH US, KEEP YOUR FOCUS, DON'T LOSE YOUR COOL.

HE'S SHOWING IT RIGHT NOW.

42-28.

THIS FOURTH QUARTER IS GOING TO BE GOOD, LARRY.

>> YES IT IS.

THREE PLAYS, 26 YARDS.

TOOK ONLY 34 SECONDS TO GET THAT TOUCHDOWN.

GOOD LOOK AT THE SOPHOMORE.

WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A BALL GAME.

BATCHELOR IS OFF AND RUNNING AGAIN.

YOU CAN'T KEEP IT AWAY FROM A GUY LIKE DALLAS OR A GUY LIKE GATES.

SO MANY ATHLETES ON THIS LIONS LINE-UP.

THEY NOW HAVE A GREAT STARTING POSITION TO START THIS DRIVE.

>> THEY DO.

LIKE YOU SAID, WHEN YOU GOT ATHLETES ALL OVER THE FIELD, ANYBODY'S DANGEROUS.

LET'S SEE WHAT THEY GOT HERE.

>> LET'S SEE HOW THE LIONS ANSWER NOW.

THREE STRAIGHT TOUCHDOWNS BY THE WOLVERINES.

BIG RUN FOR HIM.

A HOST OF LIONS LED BY McDOWELL.

>> NOT THE WAY THEY WANTED TO HANDLE THAT KICK.

THEY WANTED TO GET IT IN DEWITT'S HANDS.

DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT TIME.

OPPORTUNISTIC DEFENSE.

THE PASS RUSH SETS THE TABLE FOR A LOT OF THAT.

WHAT'S THE MARGIN?

24 POINTS.

IT CLEARLY IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS GAME.

>> IT REALLY IS.

WE KNEW IF PRINCE AVENUE WAS GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TONIGHT, THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY A CLEAN GAME THAT'S MISTAKE FREE AND AS FEW PENALTIES AS POSSIBLE AGAINST THIS TRINITY CHRISTIAN TEAM.

YOU MAKE MISTAKES, THEY MAKE YOU PAY.

HE LIVED UP IN MICHIGAN DURING THE COVID YEAR, VISITED THEIR GRANDFATHER, CAME AND VISITED THE SCHOOL AND DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE.

THEY MOVE AND THAT SEASON THEY WIN THE STATE TITLE.

HERE IS SOMEBODY WHO A MICHIGAN KID CAME DOWN JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED TO PLAY BECAUSE HIS SEASON WAS CANCELLED.

WINDS UP NOW WITH THE STATE CHAMPION AND NOW BACK IN THE GAME WITH A CHANCE TO WIN ANOTHER ONE.

>> FANTASTIC STORY.

>> BATTLED BACK TO CLIMB 42-28 LATE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

24 POINTS FOR TRINITY COMING OFF PRINCE AVENUE TURNOVERS.

FOUR INTERCEPTIONS BY PHILO.

HE NEEDS A COMPLETION HERE OR ELSE.

JOHNSON IS IN THE GAME.

GREAT PASS THERE, BUT EVEN BETTER PLAY BY WILCOX.

INTENDED FOR JOSH BRITT.

WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIRST DOWN.

>> SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME THESE TWO TEAMS SQUARED OFF LAST SEASON.

IT WAS THE REVERSE OF WHAT WENT DOWN.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE RUNNING GAME PRINCE AVENUE CHRISTIAN DOES PLUS THE QUARTERBACKING OF BROCK VANDAGRIFF YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT HAPPENED LAST SEASON AGAINST TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

YOU GET A BIG RUNNING GAME AND A CLASS A QUARTERBACK.

PAC GOES FROM PILLAR TO POST.

YOU GET THE KNEELDOWN.

THAT'S THE BEST FORMATION ANYBODY WANTS.

THE KNEELDOWN AND THE VICTORY.

THAT'S HOW PAC TRY TO GO DEFENDING CHAMPS THIS SEASON.

>> WE WERE HERE FOR THAT.

JOHN, THANKS FOR THAT.

WHAT AN EXCITING MOMENT FOR PAC WITH THEIR FIRST TITLE, BREAKING THROUGH IN A CLASSIFICATION THAT'S BEEN OWNED BY EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN.

WENT 2-1 IN THE TITLE GAME WITH EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN AND NOW TRYING TO WIN ONE ON HIS OWN HERE IN HIS FIFTH YEAR AS HEAD COACH OF THE TRINITY PROGRAM.

GOOD LOOK THERE AT GREG VANDAGRIFF.

HE TALKED ABOUT HOW ENJOYABLE IT'S BEEN.

HE SAID LAST YEAR IF WE DON'T GO 9-1 OR 10-0 I'VE DONE A BAD JOB.

THIS YEAR IF WE GO 7-3 I MIGHT BE COACH OF THE YEAR.

THEY HAD SO MANY NEW PLAYERS.

LAST YEAR YOU HAD A VETERAN TEAM.

HE SAID JUST TO GET BACK THERE IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THIS TEAM DID WORK REALLY HARD AND HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE SPRING AND PRESEASON THAT CATAPULTED THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.

>> LET'S GO DOWN TO THE SIDELINE TO TABITHA.

>> I'M DOWN HERE ON THE SIDELINES.

IT'S REALLY NICE SCENERY DOWN HERE, GREAT FACILITIES AT THE PANTHERS ARENA HERE AT CENTER PARK.

THE FUNNY THING IS, WE WERE TALKING TO PRINCE AVENUE HEAD COACH GREG VANDAGRIFF.

HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BRINGS HIS TEAM TO THE STADIUMS JUST TO WALK THROUGH AND GET THE NERVES OUT, BUT ALSO BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO BEING HERE IN THE ARENA, YOU COULD EASILY GET LOCKED OUT OF SOME DOORS.

HE HAD PLAYERS LAST SEASON DURING THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WHO WENT INTO THE WRONG DOOR AND GOT LOCKED OUT.

JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TONIGHT, GUYS.

>> DAVID DALLAS THE SENIOR OUT OF BOUNDS.

DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HE WANTED TO STAY INBOUNDS.

>> JUST FALL DOWN.

NO, LET THE CLOCK RUN.

>> TRINITY CHRISTIAN TRYING TO FINISH OFF AN UNDEFEATED SEASON OF 14-0.

>> VICTORY NOW INEVITABLE FOR THAT MAN AND HIS PROGRAM.

BUT IT MAKES IT SWEETER AND IT MAKES IT MEAN MORE BECAUSE OF WHO THEY GET THE CHAMPIONSHIP FROM.

>> WHAT A SEASON IT'S BEEN FOR BOTH OF THESE TWO.

>> HANDOFF TO GATES, THE JUNIOR.

HE'S COMMITTED TO FLORIDA.

WHAT A JOB HE HAS DONE.

PRINCE AVENUE CHAMPIONS IN 2020.

AARON PHILO BATTLED BACK.

THEY'LL LOOK AT THIS FILM SO MANY TIMES AND THINK ABOUT THE PATH THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE BACK, BUT THAT'S ALL PART OF THE PROCESS.

>> SOME LONG FACES YOU SEE RIGHT NOW APPROACHING ONE MINUTE TO GO THERE ON THE PRINCE AVENUE SIDELINE.

STILL A TREMENDOUS SEASON THIS TEAM HAS HAD.

>> DALLAS WITH THE PASS.

OUT OF BOUNDS TRYING TO GET HIS BROTHER JOSH DALLAS.

BRINGS UP FOURTH DOWN.

>> KICK IS UP AND GOOD BY NOAH MAUPIN.

THE BUSIEST GUY OF THE NIGHT WITH SEVEN EXTRA POINTS, TWO FIELD GOALS, TEN KICKOFFS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT TONIGHT'S PLAY OF THE GAME PRESENTED BY DUSTY'S.

>> DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THIS ONE.

RIGHT FROM THE START.

AARON GATES HAULS IT IN AND GETS THE TOUCHDOWN TO GET THINGS STARTED.

YES PRINCE AVENUE DID RALLY IN THE THIRD QUARTER, BUT THAT PLAY REALLY GOT THINGS STARTED AND A BIG NIGHT FOR THAT PLAYER TOO.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT TRINITY TRAILED ONLY 72 SECONDS THE ENTIRE SEASON.

WITH THAT PLAY IT ENSURED THEY WOULD BE IN FRONT IN THIS GAME AS WELL.

IT TOOK THE TOUCHDOWN BY BRYCE WILCOX TO 14-0.

THAT WAS THE PLAY OF THE DAY.

IT CERTAINLY SET THE TONE FOR THIS.

THE FIRST OF TWO TOUCHDOWNS BY AARON GATES.

KICKOFF FROM MAUPIN.

STOCKTON INJURED EARLIER.

HE IS NOT IN THE GAME.

>> THE FINAL 40 SECONDS HERE.

>> FIRST AND TEN NOW.

ALL THESE PLAYERS AND COACHES AND FAMILIES ALL PUTTING SO MUCH TIME IN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, 12 MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

WOLVERINES FORCED INTO A TIMEOUT.

WE TALKED ABOUT TRINITY AND THEIR COACH GREG DALLAS.

I WROTE DOWN A FEW OF THE QUOTES HE GAVE US IN OUR CONVERSATIONS.

HE SAID THE TEAM WANTS TO LIVE A LEGACY, NOT JUST LEAD.

I TALKED ABOUT GOING CAMPING AND CLIMBING.

HE QUOTED THE SCRIPTURE THAT IRON SHARPENS IRON.

HE BELIEVES CHAMPIONS ARE BUILT WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING.

HE'S A QUOTE MACHINE.

GREATNESS DOES NOT FEAR RESULTS.

>> VERY GOOD.

>> I'M GOING TO PUT THESE IN MY WALLET.

>> YEAH.

GREAT STUFF.

IT'S SO TRUE.

>> TALKED ABOUT HIS FAMILY, FIVE BOYS AND ONE DAUGHTER.

THE TWO BOYS EARLIER IN THE YEAR.

THESE TWO WILL BE THE FIRST PART OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

AARON PHILO UNDER PRESSURE AGAIN.

GETS IT AGAIN TO DEWITT.

FINAL SECONDS TICKING DOWN.

HE SAYS THEY'RE STILL PLAYING.

FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME.

THIRD AND ONE.

>>> TRINITY CHRISTIAN COLLEGE 14-0.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, THE HEARTBREAK OF MAKING IT TO THIS GAME AND COMING UP SHORT.

THAT GUY GOT THINGS STARTED.

HE HAS SOME TEARS, THOSE ARE HAPPY TEARS.

>> ONLY A JUNIOR AND HE IS THE PLAYER OF THE GAME FOR -- AS SAM MENTIONED, HE BROUGHT IT TO THE HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLAY WITH A TOUCHDOWN.

GREAT PLAYS ON DEFENSE.

>> SET THE TONE FOR THE NIGHT AND DID WHAT EVER HIS TEAM NEEDED HIM TO DO.

ALSO MADE GREAT PLAYS DEFENSIVELY, >>> THE LIONS COMPLETE THEIR UNDEFEATED SEASON AT 14-0.

WE ALSO HAVE TO MENTION GUNNAR STOCKTON, QUARTERBACK OUT OF RAVEN COUNTY AND THE FUTURE GEORGIA BULLDOG WHO THREW FOR OVER 4000 YARDS, THROUGH 50 TOUCHDOWNS AND ONLY HAD ONE INTERCEPTION ALL SEASON.

HE HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER ALL YEAR FOR RAVEN COUNTY.

LESS FOCUS ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL.

>>> TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALL-STARS ON DEFENSE.

>>> THAT IS A STELLAR GROUP OF YOUNG MEN.

YOU MENTIONED KATIE McDONALD OF NORTH GWINNETT, THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, 95 TOTAL TACKLES, AND 95 SACKS.

>> I THINK IT WAS A NICE CHALLENGE.

I ALWAYS LOVE VIDEO EDITING AND ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH FILM.

>> HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FROM THE ORIGINAL IDEA TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

>> IT TOOK ABOUT TWO WEEKS, FILMING AND EDITING.

>> IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WANT OLDER?

DO YOU WANT TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF IN THIS WAY?

>> ABSOLUTELY, ANYTHING IN FILM IS MY DREAM.

>> HOW DID THIS PARTICULAR IDEA COME TO MIND?

>> A LOT OF KIDS THESE DAYS, ESPECIALLY TEENAGERS ARE LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE AND STARTING TO GET ON THE ROAD.

I WANTED TO CONVEY AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE BUT STILL HAVE IT BE ENGAGING AT THE SAME TIME.

>> CONGRATULATIONS, NINTH GRADER OUT OF MOUNTAIN VIEW, THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR CONTEST.

WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE SINGLE-A PUBLIC GAME MATCHUP BETWEEN IRWIN COUNTY AND BROOKS COUNTY.

>>> I HOPE YOU ARE BUCKLING UP FOR EVERY YOU ARE BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST GAMETIME.

ON DECK.

LET'S HEAR FROM THE IRWIN COUNTY HEAD COACH.

>> IT ALWAYS FEELS GOOD TO GET HERE AND BE PART OF THIS SEE THE COMMUNITY EXCITED, PLAYERS EXCITED.

IT DOES NOT GET OLD.

>> HOW WOULD YOU SAY THAT THIS YEAR IS TEAM IS DIFFERENT THAN LAST YEAR?

>> LAST YEAR, WE HAD A LOT OF EXCITING GUYS, A LOT OF PLAYMAKERS.

A LOT OF BIG PLAYS TO BE MADE.

THIS IS MORE OF A LUNCHPAIL KIND OF TEAM, THEY COME TO WORK EVERYDAY, WE DO NOT HAVE THE BIG LAME A THAT WILL BE ELECTRIFYING, THESE GUYS JUST COME TO WORK, IT IS 11 GUYS THAT WORK REALLY HARD AND DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU ASK THEM TO DO AND PLAY TOUGH AND PHYSICAL.

>> WASN'T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A REAL BUILDING YEAR?

>> IT WAS, WE LOST A LOT OF GUYS LAST YEAR.

THIS TEAM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FILL IN GAP FROM GUYS COMING IN THAT THIS GROUP TO GET UPON THEMSELVES TO WORK HARD IN THE WEIGHT ROOM, GET WITH THE YOUNGER GUYS, CATCH THEM UP AND I AM TELLING YOU, THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE FUNNEST GROUPS I HAVE EVER COACHED.

BECAUSE OF HOW COACHABLE THEY ARE AND HOW HARD THEY WORK.

THEY JUST WANT IT.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR MATCHUP, A FAMILIAR TEAM.

WHEN YOU GET TO THIS POINT OF THE YEAR, ARE THERE ANY SECRETS LEFT?

>> NOT A LOT, WE HAVE PLAYED EACH OTHER THIS YEAR , PLAY THEM TWICE LAST YEAR, I AM SURE THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS THEY DO DIFFERENT AND SO DO WE BUT WHEN IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE, THEY KNEW WHO OUR GUYS ARE AND WE KNEW WHO BEARS ARE.

IT TURNS INTO BASICALLY JUST SMASH MACK FOOTBALL.

>> WHAT IS IT LIKE WITH THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT?

>> WE HAVE HAD HUGE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

PEOPLE ARE FINDING WAYS TO WANT TO DO MORE FOR THIS TEAM.

FOOTBALL MAKES THE SCHOOL GO- ROUND, THE COMMUNITY GO-ROUND.

IT IS NICE.

>> THE COACH IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH MEDIA DAY.

THEY GET READY FOR THE STATE FINALS YEAR AFTER YEAR.

HE CALLS THE TEAM SIMILAR TO A LUNCHPAIL SORT OF TEAM.

>> I THINK THAT IF ONE OF US WOULD PROBABLY WEAR IT A LITTLE BETTER THAN --AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO US AND SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REBUILDING YEAR FOR US.

I THINK MORE OF A RELOADING YEAR THEN A REBUILDING YEAR.

THEY ARE HAVING TO WIN GAMES A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, THEY HAVE THE TALL TARGET IN ELI ROBERTS COMING OFF THE SIDE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS THEY ARE ATTACKING.

NOT THE BIG BREAKAWAY SPEED AND PLACE.

>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU, YOU MENTIONED THEY ARE RELOADING BUT WHERE DOES THIS IRWIN COUNTY TEAM RANKED IN THE HISTORY BOOKS?

>> I THINK IF THEY WIN TONIGHT, THEY TIE THE LINCOLN COUNTY TEAMS OF YEARS PAST.

WHEN YOU ARE IN THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH LARRY THINK IT IS EITHER TALL COTTON OR TALL TIMBER BUT I THINK IT PROBABLY CLASSIFIES AS BOTH.

>> WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BERKS COUNTY, WE WILL HEAR FROM COACH MAURICE FREEMAN ENJOYING THE RIDE.

>> I THINK THEY WORKED HARD THINKING WE COULD MAKE IT BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR.

I THINK THE YOUNG MEN WERE EXCITED THE WHOLE YEAR.

I THINK HE STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME VISION AS I HAD.

THAT IS A LONG TIME , A LOT OF MONTHS, KIDS DO NOT NORMALLY LOOK THAT FAR DOWN THE LINE BUT I THINK THEY TOOK OUR VISION AND THAT IS THE THING I AM MOST PLEASED ABOUT.

>> YOU HAD TO DO IT ALL ON THE ROAD THIS YEAR.

>> I CANNOT COMPLAIN AS LONG AS THEY WERE IN IT, I DO NOT CARE WHERE IT IS.

WE ARE BATTLE TESTED.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MILES YOU PUT ON GOING TO THESE DIFFERENT PLACES, PUTTING UP THE NUMBERS YOU HAVE PUT UP, THAT HAS BEEN AWE-INSPIRING ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT LEVELS.

>> THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT THOSE NUMBERS, WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY --ON THESE BACK ROADS IT IS RIDICULOUS.

WE EVEN HIT ONE.

I TRIED TO GET OUT AND SHOOT IT BUT HE TOOK OFF AND RAN.

WE ARE PLEASED WITH THE NUMBERS WE PUT UP.

OUR KIDS ARE CLICKING AND DOING WELL.

>> YOU ARE HAVING TO DO IT ONCE AGAIN AGAINST THE REGION RIVAL.

THEY ARE THINKING ONE VERSUS TWO.

WE THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN, IT HAS HAPPENED AND YOU ARE DOING IT AGAINST ANOTHER QUALITY OPPONENT WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE REGION CHAMP AND RIVAL.

>> YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE YOU CAN BEAT.

YOU HAVE TO BEAT THEM IF YOU WANT TO BE STATE CHAMPS.

THEY HAVE TO BEAT US IF THEY WANT TO REMAIN STATE CHAMPS.

WE LOVE THE COMPETITION.

WE HAVE TO FINISH THE DEAL.

>> YOU DO THAT BY BRINGING THE HAMMER.

IT IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT IS A WAY OF LIFE.

>> IT IS, OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM ADOPTED OUR SLOGAN.

BRING THE HAMMER, LEAVE WITH THE TASSEL.

WE JUST BELIEVE IN OUR COMMUNITY , BELIEVES IN THE HAMMER.

>> MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GET UP AND DO HAMMER TIME AT THIS POINT.

>> I DO NOT HAVE THE PANTS FOR IT.

I THINK THAT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM COACH FREEMAN, A TREMENDOUS DAY THAT HAS BEEN BUILT AND IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, IT HAS GONE INTO THE ACADEMIC SIDE WHERE THEY SAY, BRING THE HAMMER, LEAVE WITH THE TASSEL.

IT APPLIES FOR THAT SQUARE BOX THAT HAPPENS AT THE HEAD OF THE END OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GROUP.

>> HAMMER, TASSEL, MAYBE A TITLE.
