COLISEUM IN THE MACON CENTERPLEX.

THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES.

OF THE THREE-POINT CHAMPION FEATHER, THREE-POINT SHOOTOUT.

SO, HERE WE GO.

EVERYBODY'S GETTING IN THEIR WARM-UPS COMPETITION ORDER FOR THE FIRST ROUND DETERMINED BY A BLIND DRAW.

AND YOUR ORDER WILL BE THE GRIFFIN PAIR, THE RABUN COUNTY PAIR, THE FLOWERY BRANCH PARENT, BY THE WAY, BELLA BRICK AND LANDED MILLER.

YOU'RE DEFENDING CHAMPS SHOOTING ORDER FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND DETERMINED BY THE POPE.

THE POINT TOTAL IN ROUND NUMBER ONE, HIGHEST SCORE OBVIOUSLY GETS TO CHOOSE TO SHOOTING ORDER, YOU GET THE CHANCE TO SHOOT FIRST OR SECOND, HOWEVER, YOU WANT TO DO IT.

SCORE FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND.

DETERMINES THE CHAMPION HERE IN 2023, THE FIRST ROUND 90 SECONDS.

SO YOU'LL SEE ON TOP OF EACH BASKETBALL STANCHION IN THE ONE THAT THEY'RE SHOOTING AT AND LET THE SCOREBOARD 90 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK, SIX BALLS.

AT EACH OF THE FOUR LOCATIONS IS THEY GO AROUND THE WORLD.

EACH OF THE FIRST FIVE BALLS COUNTS AS ONE POINT THE FINAL BALL IN EACH RACK COUNTS AS THREE POINTS.

IN THE CO-ED COMPETITION.

THE GIRL SHOOTER CAN SELECT TWO OF THE SHOOTING SPOT.

THE BOY CAN SHOOT FROM THE OTHER TWO.

THEY MAY CHOOSE ANY ORDER OF THE FOR WHAT ALTERNATE SHOOTING THE ENTIRE RACK THE BALLS FOR THEIR TEAMMATES.

SHOOT TOP, TWO SCORERS FROM THE FIRST ROUND.

WILL HAVE YOUR SHOOT OFF FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL ROUND IN THE EVENT OF A TIE.

WE DO HAVE A TAUT, WE DO HAVE WORDS ON TIES, IF IT DOES HAPPEN.

THE FIRST TIEBREAKER IS THE TOTAL SCORE FROM BOAT ROUND.

SECOND TIEBREAKER IS A SHOOT-OFF FROM THE FREE-THROW LINE.

SO WE HAVE A TWO STEP, WE HAVE A TWO-STEP TIEBREAKER, SECOND TIEBREAKER, SHOOT UP AT THE FREE THROW LINE, ALTERNATING ATTEMPTS UNTIL ONE SUCCESSFUL SHOOTER IS LEFT.

SO THAT IS YOUR RULES HERE.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU SEE FROM FLOWERY BRANCH, YOU SEE LAND AND MILLER JUST OFF OF THE ELBOW, HE'S GETTING IN HIS PRACTICES AND THAT'S YOUR LOOK WITH EACH OF THE FOUR RACKS THAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE TO YOU.

YOU SEE GRIFFIN WITH THE CAMELLIAS STARKS.

IT'S LIKE SHE'S TRYING TO GET HER PRACTICE WITH THE THREE-POINT BALL FROM THE FAR SIDE.

AND THEN, EVEN GETTING SOME PRACTICE IN FROM THE FREE THROW LINE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW, BECAUSE WE GOT INTO THE TIEBREAKER IDEA WHEN WE'VE SEEN SOME TROUBLE, GETTING ADJUSTED TO THE RIMS AND ADJUSTING TO A BUILDING THIS SIZE.

SO, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

YOU'RE GETTING ALL OF THE PRACTICES THAT ARE GOING ON.

ONCE AGAIN, 90 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK, AND WE ALL GET TO DO MATH HERE.

TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE POINT SYSTEMS ARE.

HOW MANY POINTS GO IN FOR THE PAIR?

FROM GRIFFIN COMMAND STARKS DAMARIS LEWIS.

YOU'RE DEFENDING CHAMPS, BELLA, BRICK, AND LANDED MEALER.

THERE'S DAMARIS RIGHT THERE.

AND IT'S LIKE THAT'S A COMEDIAN STAR TREK GETTING IN HER PRACTICE TO ME AND STARTS TOMORROW SLOWEST.

BELLA BRICK, AND LAND AND ME LORETTA FLOWERY BRANCH.

YOU'RE DEFENDING CHAMPS ELYSEE THIRDS AND COOPER, WELSH, THEY ARE REPRESENTING RABUN COUNTY.

AND JUST SO, YOU KNOW, ELLIE IS GOING TO BE IN THE THREE-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP TOMORROW.

BELLA BRICK WILL BE IN THE THREE-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP TOMORROW.

SHE IS THE DEFENDING CHAMP IN THE COMPETITION, YOU'LL HAVE PARTICIPANTS FROM PELHAM AND TRY ON AS WELL IN THE THREE-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP.

IT'S FUN TO HAVE ALL OF THESE SEPARATE ELEMENTS THAT ARE A PART OF CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND, THE 17 CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THEN THE THREE FUN CHAMPIONSHIPS.

YOU'VE GOT THE THREE-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP OBVIOUSLY TODAY.

THE GIRLS THREE-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP TOMORROW THAN THE BOYS SLAM DUNK CHAMPIONSHIP ON SATURDAY.

IN ADDITION TO THE ADAPTIVE PROGRAMS AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GETTING SET TO GO WITH.

ONCE AGAIN, THE GRIFFIN PAIR IS GOING TO BE GOING FIRST CAMIA STARKS AND DAMARIS LEWIS.

SO WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON ORDER AND LOCATION ALL OF THIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

OKAY.

DID YOU SEE WHAT DAMARIS IS DOING?

HE'S TRYING TO SLIDE THE RACK OVER AND BE IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION TO GO RAPID FIRE OFF OF THIS PARTICULAR RACK.

SO HE WANTED THE RACK OFF TO HIS LEFT HIP FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE ELBOW ON THE THREE-POINT LINE.

SO EVERYTHING IS RIGHT OFF OF HIS LEFT HIP AS HE WANTS TO SHOOT FOR KAMIYA, STARKS FOR HER.

IT'S GOING TO BE OFF OF HER RIGHT HIP.

SO LET'S SEE WHAT THE FIRST PAIR HAS IN MIND HERE.

ONCE AGAIN, 90 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE.

AND HERE WE GO.

FIRST ONE.

SHORT SECOND ONE IS LONG SETTLING IN THAT ONE WORKS.

ONE OF THREE MISSED THE NEXT-TO-LAST THAN THE LAST ONE POINTER IS IN.

SO THAT'S TWO POINTS.

SO FAR, THEN YOUR THREE-POINTER WITH THE RED WHITE AND BLUE BALL IS OFF.

THAT'S IT FOR THAT RACK.

64 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK AND COUNTING TIME FOR KAMIYA STARKS.

NOW, THIS IS LONG WITH THE FIRST BACK OF THE RIM FOR THE SECOND GETS.

THE THIRD BOUNCE IS NOT KIND ON THE FOURTH, NOR IS IT ON THE FIFTH?

SHE MISSES ON THE SIXTH.

SO THREE POINTS IN ABOUT 44 SECONDS TO GO 2ND GRAPH FOR DAMARIS, LEWIS GETS THE SECOND ONE.

IT'S THE THIRD THAT HE'S WILL BIT OF A RHYTHM.

NOW, JUST OFF OF THE ELBOW.

HE'S HIT THREE IN A ROW.

NOW, HE'S A FOREIGNER.

MONEYBALL IS IN BIG CRACK THERE FOR DAMARIS LEWIS.

LAST RACK ON THE BOARD.

20 SECONDS, TWO IN A ROW, THREE IN A ROW KAMIYA.

STARKS IS FOUND THE LOCATION.

BOTH THE GRIFFIN PLAYERS HAVE FOUND THE GOOD LOCATION FOR BOTH OF THEM.

JUST FINALLY MISSES ONE OFF OF THAT RACK AND MISSES THE MONEYBALL THERE.

SO THAT IS ALL FOUR RACKS WITH FOUR SECONDS TO SPARE 14 POINTS ON THE BOARD FOR THE GRIFFIN PAIR.

R. AND THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON AT LEAST GOING FORWARD, 14 POINTS IN THE FIRST ROUND FOR THE GRIFFIN SHOOTERS.

NEXT UP THE RABUN COUNTY SHOOTERS ONCE AGAIN SETTING UP THE RACKS TO BE COMFORTABLE AND IT WAS IN RACKS THREE AND FOUR WE'RE STARKS AND LEWIS FROM GRIFFIN SEEM TO GET THEIR RHYTHM.

THE MOST TOOK HIM AWHILE OFF OF THE EDGES, BUT THEN WHEN THEY HAD THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE, THAT WAS WHEN THEY ENDED UP GETTING A LOT OF THEIR POINTS WITH RACKS, THREE AND FOUR AT LEAST SOUTH TOWARDS COOPER.

WELL, RAVEN COUNTY.

THAT'S THE LOOK FOR ELLIE SOUTHARD RIGHT THERE.

JUST OFF OF THE POSITION THAT SHE HAS IN THE ABSOLUTE CORNER.

COOPER IS THAT THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE NOW UNDERWAY?

IT'S THE FIRST GETS THE SECOND.

THREE IN A ROW.

40 IN A RHYTHM 5 AND JUST MISSES THE THREE-POINT BALL.

FIRST ONE UP FOR COOPER IS NO GOOD.

SECOND ONE IS THIRD OFF, THE FRONT OF THE IRON, FOURTH ONE RIMS OUT.

THIS ONE POINTER IS GOOD, THREE-POINTER OFF TO THE RIGHT SOW THIRDS AGAIN, SEVEN POINTS ON THE BOARD SO FAR, ELLIE, AND HER FIRST RACK OUT OF THE CORNER DID REALLY WELL.

IT'S HER FIRST YEAR.

THAT'S EIGHT NINE.

TWO IN A ROW.

DOESN'T GET THE BOUNCE.

THREE-POINTER 40 SECONDS TO GO.

SHE GETS IT.

SO WELL, NOW ON THE BOARD FOR THE LAST RACK FOR COOPER WELCH GETS THAT HE'S AT 13.

PLENTY OF TIME.

THIS IS LONG, 28 SECONDS, 14 13.

HE'S GOT TO HIT TWO TO ADVANCE.

ITS GOT TO HIT THIS OR HE HITS IT TIED AT 14.

GOT PLENTY OF TIME, SHORT ON THE THREE.

SO WE GOT A TIE WITH ELLIE SOUTHARD ZUKO.

COOPER.

WELL, SO GRIFFIN AND RAVEN COUNTY TIE AT 14.

AND THAT BRINGS UP, BELLA BRICK AND LANDON MEALER.

YOU'RE DEFENDING CHAMPS WERE GOING THIRD AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE CORNER THE NEAR CORNER AS WE'RE LOOKING AT IT HERE AT THE COLISEUM.

THAT WAS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE FIRST TWO.

BUT VAL, IS TAKING A BIT OF A TOUR AND SHE MAY START AT THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE.

SO LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

HERE, YOU FELLAS, DOING SHE'S EVEN ADJUSTING THE RACK TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S JUST OUTSIDE THE THREE-POINT ARC.

ONCE TO GET ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION DOWN.

SO IF IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE SHE NEEDS THAT THREE-POINT BALL IN A HURRY, SHE KNOWS CHAIN OF COMMAND HERE.

BELLA BRICK FLOWERY BRANCH.

SHE'S GOING TO START NEAR CORNER RIMMED OUT ON THE FIRST SHORT ON THE SECOND.

OFF OF THE RIM FOR THE THIRD.

THIS IS HER FIRST FIVE THREE-POINT BALL OUT OF RACK.

NUMBER ONE IS GOOD THREE POINTS ON THE BOARD.

FOR FLOWERY BRANCH LAND AND MILLER GETS HIS FIRST.

IN THE SECOND 34 MEALER.

FOR RIMMED, OW.

AND THREE SO 2:10 RACKS 11, BELLA BRICK, MISSES THEIR 12 COMING UP ON 40 SECONDS AS THE NAVIGATE, THE TRAFFIC AT THE BOUNCING BALLS FROM THE OTHER RACKS AT 13, 14.

SO, ALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN HERE AND IT DON'T EVEN NEED TO GET TO THE FINAL RACK HAVING CLEARED TO 17, BUT LAND AND MILA.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SHOOT ANYWAY.

SETTING A NUMBER ON THE BOARD.

SQUARES AND FIRES OFF OF THE RIM ON THE FRONT SIDE.

THREE-POINT BALL GOES IN 23 POINTS WITH 10 SECONDS TO SPARE.

SO FLOWERY BRANCH ADVANCES AND WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHO THEY'RE GOING TO FACE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND BECAUSE RABUN COUNTY AND GRIFFIN ARE TIED AT 14.

SO THE TIEBREAKER ONE RACK RABUN COUNTY AND GRIFFIN TO DETERMINE WHO'S GOING TO FACE THE DEFENDING CHAMPS HERE IN THE THREE-POINT SHOOTOUT.

BERNIE YARBOROUGH FROM THE GHSA EXPLAINING THE RULES.

BELLA FRICKIN, LANDON MILLER TRYING TO LISTEN IN A LITTLE BIT.

SO, YOU SEE, ERNIE, OUR BOROUGH HERE, TRYING TO DETERMINE THE TIEBREAKER.

THE UNFOLDING OF THE PIECE OF PAPER.

IT LOOKS LIKE RABUN COUNTY HAS AS THEY UNFOLD TO LOOKS LIKE GRIFFIN GETS TO CHOOSE IF THEY'RE GOING TO GO FIRST OR SECOND AND THE RACK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SHOOT FROM.

SO GRIFFIN AND RABUN COUNTY TO DETERMINE WHO GOES UP AGAINST FLOWERY BRANCH IN THE THREE-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP.

ONE RACK FOR EACH PLAYER.

AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE CLOCK BASED.

ONCE AGAIN, DAMARIS LEWIS WANTS THE RACK OFF OF HIS LEFT, HIP OPENS AND FIRES OFF OF THE BACK RIM FOR THE FIRST.

IT'S THE SECOND SQUARES.

ONCE AGAIN OFF THE BACK OF THE RIM FOR THE THIRD.

SETTLES IN, IT'S BOTH SETS OF THE RIM.

YOU SAW WHAT DAMARIS WAS DOING.

HE TOOK A STEP BACK TO KIND OF SQUARE TO THE BUCKET, AND HE ONLY HIT THE ONE OUT OF THE RACK WITH SEE WHAT CAMIA STARKS CAN DO FROM THE 45 DEGREE.

ANGLE HITS THE FIRST.

IT'S THE BIT OF A RHYTHM SHORT, ON THE THIRD, GETS THE FOURTH TOO MUCH ARC ON THE 5TH SQUARES AND THE 3-POINTER RIMS OUT.

SO FOUR POINTS ON THE BOARD IN THE TIEBREAKER.

THEY NEED TWO POINTS TO ADVANCE WITH THIS RACK RIM AGAIN.

DOES HE GET THE 3-POINTER, NO 43, YOUR FINAL IN THE TIEBREAKER SO YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE THREE-POINT SHOOTOUT, IN THE CO-ED IS GOING TO BE GRIFFIN.

GOING UP AGAINST THE DEFENDING, CHAMPS OF FLOWERY BRANCH.

ALRIGHT, SO THE ART OF SHOOTING THREES, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO SIT THERE AND GO?

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT THE KIND OF PERSON THAT DRIVES OR THING LIKE THAT I LIKE SHOOTING THREES.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO SHOOT THREES?

AND HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE IDEA?

SO I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE NEEDS A ROLE ON THE COURT AND I KIND OF JUST EMBRACE THAT FOR A WHILE.

AND SHOOTING IS A LOT OF REPETITION AND JUST MAKING SURE YOU GET IN THE GYM AND PRACTICE A LOT.

SO THAT'S BEEN A BIG PART OF ME AND I'VE EMBRACED THAT ROLE THROUGHOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS.

SO THAT'S PUT ME WHERE I AM TODAY.

HOW MANY SHOTS WERE WE TALKING ABOUT A DAY HERE?

WELL, DEPENDS ON THE DAY.

I MEAN, WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF PRACTICE ROUNDS JUST TO GET HERE AND DEFINITELY TAKES PUTTING IN THE WORK.

JUST TO GET THOSE CONCERT REPS AND MAKE THE BASKET LOOK GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO DEPTH PERCEPTION AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU LAND ON THE SAME THING.

SO DON'T GO ANYWHERE WHEN IT COMES TO SHOOTING FROM A DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT IN THE FROM THE CORNER VERSUS THE, THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE THAT WE SEE.

DO YOU HAVE ONE THAT YOU HAVE A BETTER FEEL FOR WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING?

SO TODAY, I WOULD PROBABLY SAY YES I STRUGGLED FROM THE CORNER A LITTLE BIT.

NOT SURE WHY.

BUT NORMALLY I'M PRETTY WELL-ROUNDED FROM ANY SPOT TODAY.

THE CORNER HURT ME A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE MONEY BALL AND GO ON TO THE NEXT TRACK AND HIT A FEW.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE TV CAMERAS?

IT WAS IT MAY BE GETTING NERVOUS WITH WITH TV CAMERAS ARE GOING LIKE THIS.

NO, IT'S GONNA BOTHER ME.

WE'RE USED TO IT WE HAD LAST YEAR.

THAT'S TRUE, SPEAKING OF LAST YEAR.

ALRIGHT, LANDON LET ME ASK YOU.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A DEFENDING CHAMP?

I DON'T KNOW YOU'RE SETTING HISTORY SIR.

YES SIR.

WE NEED WHEN YOU WHEN IT COMES, I WAS ASKING ABOUT COMFORTABILITY WHEN IT COMES TO SHOOTING THREE WHEN IT COMES TO LOCATION.

DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE?

WHETHER IT'S FROM THE CORNER, THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE, TOP OF THE ARK.

WHEN IT COMES TO, I KNOW YOU CAN'T REALLY DO IT THIS COMPETITION, BUT YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE, NOT REALLY?

BUT I MEAN, IF I WAS TO TAKE A SHOT, PROBABLY BE FROM THE WING LONG AS IT GOES IN IT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

AS LONG AS IT GOES, WHAT?

WHAT'S IT LIKE BEING OUT THERE KNOWING THAT YOU'RE ON A CLOCK AND YOU'VE GOT TO DO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LAUNCHES IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.

HOW MUCH PRESSURE DID THAT PUT ON YOUR SKIN ON YOU, WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THIS STUFF, DONE THE CLOCK.

I WANT TO SAY IT.

REALLY DID MUCH BECAUSE WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE OUR TIME.

I DIDN'T REALLY TAKE US.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE COMPETITION NEEDS TO SHORTEN THE CLOCK, YOU NEED TO DO THINGS FASTER, IS WHAT YOUR HAND, AND IT REALLY SPEED UP YOUR MAKING, A RULE CHANGE FOR NEXT YEAR, ON THE FLY.

HEY, THAT'D BE FINE WITH ME.

COMPETITIVE.

SO WHO'S MORE COMPETITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO COMPETING TO THE TWO OF YOU HAVE A COMPETITION WHEN IT COMES TO SHOOTING THREES?

NO, WE HAVEN'T.

AS A GOOD IDEA THOUGH.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU WHO'S THE BETTER.

THREE-POINT SHOOTER.
