You look at both of these teams, helmet wants to throw the ball.

And then you look at Swain's brawl.

They definitely want to run the football athletes.

team, Autumn Johnson.

She's down on the sideline.

Thanks, guys.

Well, as you can imagine, stage in Prince Avenue.

Is one out of eight programs to do that.

So I asked head coach Greg Vandegrift, What's the secret sauce?

And he told me it's like building a house.

nice and new every single year.

and also an influx of great players.

to put them in a great position.

level of play is hard to keep up with.

they possess can be challenging and they have something to say about that championship game sticks with them.

since after Christmas break to complete the job this autumn.

their motivation, Rusty, for 365 days.

Matt Walton came in to Carrollton and they played out of their minds.

their head coach made it no secret to us.

And there is Dumelo Jones.

Seat belts save lives.

a short kick.

They didn't kick it deep, No surprise.

Their 12 yard return.

to start the game.

told us that they kick it deep to him that kickers coming out of the game.

So here he swings for a 12 and two.

the last two games of their region said it was a wake up call for his kids.

Blakely and Dublin beat them.

for six weeks to get here to the state championship and to mellow Jones Tyrod Stewart his fullback.

They play with the fullback yard pickup for Demelo Jones starting lineup for the Tigers up front who's the long time starter Long and Worthen Quinn Brown's a guy who got offers and that's a look at the rest of the specialist for the Tigers today big grand vendor told us early in the game to the speed.

Well it happened to him last year.

Yes.

when Ty Adams is playing quarterback, where he's a cornerback this year, didn't get a chance to play.

at the Wolverines on defense head Garett had a great season on that second line.

of Mike Bobo, the offensive coordinator both on 143 tackles on the season.

in the secondary.

secondary is a lot of size.

Yes, we'll talk about it.

Key injury they had a couple of weeks ago.

They lost their six foot corner.

We'll talk about that a little bit later.

down the line.

and six and Edenfield in there, and the ball is out.

Austin head gets on top of it bring in Jason Edenfield, the sophomore.

He got crushed.

head comes up with the fumble recovery.

Man, they have been ready for this.

Just watch him come off the edge.

Good job.

and finishes that.

It was Pittman.

Yes.

Blayne Pittman, great job of beating pro of the left tackle for Swain's Burrow.

and just came around the edge for the sack turnover early.

senior quarterback Georgia Tech Commit.

passing, 53 touchdowns, eight interceptions.

a shot at the end zone on this play.

No doubt coming off the turnover, get going to run a sweet play to Cosby all the way down to the 36. running back and that was LaMarcus Webb what will be many tackles here today.

The at the corner offered by UCF the left tackle Townsend head Chandler and Mitchell for a seemingly school run had Jake last year two year starter for them.

Hill in the Georgia League classic.

I called his game.

and their leading receiver wide open Touchdown Prince Ball goes to C.J.

take two plays to get on the board.

So dangerous, man.

wasn't able to get to and watch him and that's on the money.

route Touchdown early Prince for C.J.

Dockery and the 54th touchdown pass for Erin Filer and Tyler Dennie on for the Patty he pumps it through and a seven nothing lead for Prince that's how quick they can score Matt that's how quick they can jump on you.

we got to get pressure there, seven and eight.

And Prince anticipated that.

But in the end, that arm strength and being able to put it on the money.

The other record that's up for grabs here touchdown passing record, which is 56. with that touchdown pass right there, two plays, after the fumble recovery by Ned.

red ribbon campaign scoring drive, not going to kick this thing deep.

adjust to that and move to Mellow Jones around a little bit.

Keep it.

Can't sneak a touch out of out of him.

Kids can be caught in the 31 yard line about a ten yard return up to the 41 after giving up the touchdown Let's check in with Autumn Johnson.

Hey guys.

Filer was looking to secure another title record for passing yards.

Deshaun Watson, Jake Brown that has coached Vandegrift.

here?

and made his own path.

He pushes guys to be better.

and more for the team to see him accomplish this.

when Athens Christian rather than play them.

that's crucial as he chases this record to play quarterback DeMello Jones on the screen.

Watch out.

There goes the Miller Jones clean sweep.

He's talking a good game and 59 yards on the play.

an explosive athlete just a quick screen to DeMello Jones.

and he takes this thing to the house.

Great block out on the edge.

is going to catch him.

last year in the first half.

the entire day.

They stop, kick and Pat.

Roberts got frustrated with the misses, with three touchdowns.

Wow.

Three touchdowns and 32. conversions.

He says, look, one out of three, it's just as good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So Jones back in there takes all.

Anything going to do on that one as Stuard after a short gain on the play?

nine, the freshman on the two point conversion.

when I said they tied it.

It's seven, six, seven, six.

setting the edge and stopping that two point conversion.

we played less than 3 minutes.

We've had two scores.

Welcome to the bench, baby.

Football Fridays in on GPB is presented by the Governor's reminding you to be safe on every trip.

kind of in this next weekend.

line, heads to the wide side.

going to run out of bounds at the 31 yard line.

And that's where Prince Avenue's for the second time today.

That was an 18 yard return by Cosby.

take a look at Swain's burrow on defense.

It's brought to you by region Spike Aiden right at eight TFL on the season just a ton of tackles.

coming in and in the secondary, at the free safety position 72 tackles and of course Demelo Jones, three rated cornerback in the country.

in his direction in this game.

by getting some football and about an eight yard pickup on the run coming into this game.

If you want to watch the last two or three years, in this classification.

Those are big boys going to wing it out here to Cosby's.

Hold on to it.

to 42 catches for Cosby out of the backfield this season.

on their roster with 31 plus catches.

you don't get to 13,000 passing yards that's for sure.

they're 96 and 12 as the head coach.

going for their third state and two right here by now.

the 50 down to the 46. this year that we had not past, over 500 rushing yards.

The final.

Yeah, big body kids, £190, six foot two.

Vandegrift seems a little hesitant because of the backup quarterback.

who Jake Bobo now at prints out to me with more confidence in Carl Sweet and he's going to pick up the first down They were looking for it over there on the print sideline.

Yeah.

Most times you don't get that there.

Yep.

That was Shannon Benjamin, the cornerback who hit him late.

Dead ball, personal foul defense it were on first down three one guard going against Swain's burrow We haven't even discussed this there is replay review available been we've known about this was coming.

Sure.

first game in every state finals.

Yeah.

finals with it fifth game ever scored as the ball goes underneath and down to the 11 yard line by Hudson Hill to throw the ball anywhere on the field.

it's just it's such a weapon specifically on this level, high school kids are having to play both ways.

Again, look at him direct in traffic.

There's not a defense he hasn't seen.

for the first down, tries and Webb runs him out of out of bounds as he grabs his ankle.

to go for Prince.

Not going to go easy for you.

Yeah.

and getting anything get it to your outside hand.

but you got to be careful running there with the ball on your near hand.

Seventh play of the drive coming up first and goal to goal.

and gets stopped at the one yard line him doesn't let him get into the end zone but a big game by Cosby.

very well here in this opening quarter.

that this pull the guard pull that the H backs called a counter and it's really seven yards.

gets a hold of the running back of that Prince Avenue offensive on backfield set Cosby goes in motion and he gets in for the touchdown does get to score rushing touchdown a year ago with the coach Vandergrift in the off guard Yeah and he's playing linebacker.

gets the ball here and scores in the state and they just double team there.

That nose guard and drive him three or four yards into the end zone for Prince Avenue and a 14 to 6 lead for Prince Avenues.

two possessions.

to see out of the Wolverines.

Waynesboro, we got to win a shootout.

We got to find ways to score.

And they certainly did.

But man, they're going to have their hands there, that offensive line, and dealing with them for four quarters.

It'll be interesting to see.

As Waynesboro gets to go back on offense, on the last touchdown with Demelo Jones And Edenfield might get a lot of snaps today bet to get Demelo Jones in space.

Once he does.

I'm not going to overthink it.

It can be one and done with number one.

Let's get him as many touches as we can.

They want to be really careful with him.

He cramped up last year.

in this state championship game.

on his early touches, but at some point, one for Waynesboro.

against Prince when Demelo Jones wrapped up the game.

And that's the return by Skyler County.

pass management when Swain's burrow has the ball.

Yeah, they want to control the football.

they want to get first downs and move it, first downs.

all those explosive plays last year.

They kind of got out of gas.

keep that Prince offense off the field.

Yeah, Coach Scott five explosive plays would be a bad thing.

Yeah, Yeah.

And you look easy for Prince Avenue.

where number one is on every single play.

And it was clear that was the quote.

you still can't run it, right?

That's right.

how he impacted games and Albert County handoff goes to Quinn Brown.

First touch of the game for Quinn Brown.

He's going to get about four on the play.

That is what they need to do, Matt.

a little bit, maintain some drives have been unable to get early yardage.

you take four yards right here wants to be able to do.

who took the snap on that play.

So DeMello to run the quarterback position second down and six and not going to get anywhere.

Play got blown up six yard loss on the play and that's its eighth and Garrett getting in there on the defensive side a lot of guys who didn't necessarily play during the season up to this point, in this game.

You got to say to keep any gas in the tank by the end of the game.

Third down and 11.

This is the place where Swain's barrow behind the sticks and filled back in.

Brown and Brown trying to get to the edge.

out of bounds at the 49 yard line.

And let's see if they go for it.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Here at midfield, you know, you're going to have problems stopping this prince offense.

Yeah, I think they go for it right here.

I think you're already in that situation.

that you can't give the ball back to them right now.

they're going to punt.

and that's the big guy standing back there at the 35 yard line.

Going to punt here.

Let's see if they fake something, that is if you don't convert, you give them a second field.

way downfield.

they're going to spot it.

and they haven't stopped yet.

They finally do with the 34. about 18 yards on the punt.

Yeah, need to you've got to trade got to have your defense get you the ball back and not go down 21, not go down 21 to 7 at least 21 six here and five low takes the team back out.

to a 14 to 6 lead and this will be already for the Wolverines.

And we're 7 minutes into the game and flea flicker low comes to the far side and it's caught the first down to Melo.

holds him up as he runs him out of bounds.

when you stay disciplined, because they tried to go deep with this guy down and they stopped it.

throw there.

your freshman wide receiver, Hudson Hill, 72, catches as a ninth grader over 1100 yards, Vandegrift says he could be their first four four guy by the time he's a senior.

who played there a couple of years ago with Brock Vandergrift first and ten five Low wide open and is tied in.

Nick Hurley couldn't come up with it.

Waynesboro I'll try to substitute trying to keep him fresh as can be kind of a big week for the Vandegrift transferring from Georgia to Kentucky.

What do you think about him in Kentucky?

I broke the story about a week ago and we're going to let's do some phone calls.

We've done our homework.

That's where we want to go.

they got him done five low throws in the middle.

on a catch by Thornton Hester for him and six touchdowns.

He'll just do a tremendous job throughout the course of this game.

his spots, goes through his progressions such pressure got to get pressure on him or he will absolutely just carve you out got to find a way to get pressure on him.

three down lineman.

This is something Mary Persons did.

Yep.

And Mary persons.

during the regular season ball and that'll be a first down in the 35. from Prince so they've worked against that.

three teams in a row eight and against us.

more prepared for that now.

this, and I get it from Swain's group.

That's the one.

Formulas beat them.

Let's see if we can put our own footprint on that.

So first and ten from the 35 take a shot from Webb and bounce off it and a half.

Tells you how strong he is there, man.

as he goes.

Look at that.

Keeps his feet as his career has gone on.

You mentioned six 2 to 10 committed to Georgia Tech on May 11th who he had originally committed to he was originally committed when Georgia Tech jumps in there.

if Philo goes to tech, Stockton Yeah.

in that when Buster Faulkner went over to I took that picture.

He was a sophomore.

and kill me for that one.

now.

Here's a little better.

But when you look at him and Buster Falconer that was a big deal for Fowler five low throws underneath the Dakari.

to a nine yard pickup at the 14 yard line that that drag route to come.

they clear it out.

all of that zone and he's able to get nine yards on.

a young man, a sophomore who came to the Wolverines from Logan ville, Christian second down and the timeout flag has been run, flag has been thrown a false start and remains second.

And that's the first mistake first quarter.

Prince will play unless some rule changes.

Yep, it will be a3a1a2, one classification for them next year, follow on the run and follow.

Going to pick up the first down at the 12 yard line Hey, look, no big deal to us.

we big, big players.

that was called single private.

Yep The Calvary days of Elke Savannah.

Savannah Christian Yeah.

playing in the state championship game on Wednesday against Cedar Grove and the in 2025. for Savannah Christian, you're going to want to watch that.

Let me tell you some.

They're going to be some head coaches for that one fly low throws.

out of the tackle will not be able to do at the nine yard line.

That is what they want to do.

after catch only picks up about two yards right here.

got to get him to the ground.

and don't miss tackles in space.

So second close to a minute and Prince on top 14 six Cosby makes a man miss and going to be close to the first down and close to the two.

that there won't be on this play?

we can have a review on the measurement of the placement of the ball.

that we have that here in Georgia?

High school football Now, kind of squirms a little bit.

I don't know if and thankful and everyone that got that done.

on third and one in a spread field, final get it, cut it up and run and score the touchdown.

Three yard rushing touchdown for Aaron fellow and it's 20 to 6.

Yep.

at the top.

Swain's road does a good job.

and you look at the athleticism of follow as he bus back and want to roll right and he just gets through the defensive line on the backside Touchdown Prince Avenue so Brock Bowling is the snapper Kyler Denny on to try to make his third and he does in his 21 to 6 and here's the fear if you have today is what we said when they punted.

two scores.

Got it.

they can open it again today.

not at midfield.

and ten again, you're on your own.

20.

Yes, of course.

Yeah.

you've got a sliver of an opportunity.

Got to roll the dice.

that they had that to do over again.

They would still in the first quarter.

But right now number 11 for Prince Avenue.

passing 89 yards and a touchdown and five for 38 rushing touchdown.

cotton condition player of the game.

He is definitely trending, as I say, in the social media world.

He is trending.

He is trending.

So now Waynesboro down 15 points, of the game already.

I think it's their fourth, actually.

I've lost count.

because they received the opening kickoff.

left in this first quarter.

for the Wolverines as they try to go back to back, bounces along the turf in open man territory.

And let's see who got on top of that.

I think Swain's ball did.

who came up and got on top of that thing.

So they moved him.

they were going to try to make an adjustment there.

Think the hands guy ends up falling on his back.

they cover that.

in his ninth season as the head coach.

Three region titles in program history to lead the Tigers to a title.

when the Tigers won their one beating Fitzgerald six to nothing.

Ball was interesting.

you know, a couple of years ago all over the field.

because you know what?

Fitzgerald win the state championship.

They're running the football.

and none of our kids can catch, you know, we're going to discharge, and go to a running offense.

track teams in single-A, correct.

who was the quarterback also part of that a year ago.

all playing football and they can run in your classification of the state.

Yeah, why not?

Yeah, I mean, I love it.

you know, historically players always used to run track.

Now they don't the linemen wrestle.

The linemen wrestle.

just something you don't see.

But in small towns like Waynesboro, going to go from football to basketball.

you're going to run track.

by Prince Avenue.

So now first and ten, the final play of this first quarter?

of the game and nothing doing knocked down for a four yard loss back at the 30 yard line.

12 minutes of play here, 100 game and a 21 to 6 lead for Prince Avenue won a Division one championship game.

break in the action, did you know that can contain up to 95 termite colonies?

with anything.

Just looking.

I only buy local and sustainable so.

Oh well that's sure it's not local.

You should be wearing cotton.

a major supplier of cotton worldwide, Georgia, fine.

Cotton is a great place to start.

It's renewable and sustainable.

Naturally.

Thanks.

And that's a polyester fiber made of oil.

By the way, where's your dressing room?

This is my family.

that we're going to fight.

We're going to be relentless.

We're going to be aggressive, to get a great result.

Maybe a law back in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Mansell, Autumn Johnson with you.

the class, won a Division one championship and Prince Avenue already out to a 21 to as we start the second quarter, of some of the great records in Georgia, with Gunner Stockton.

passing touchdown record, Corey so he's two away from tying that.

Gunner Stockton and Prince Prentice Air Nolan at 55.

And of course, the all time passing record held by Trevor Lawrence.

301 yards away from that.

on the all time list, passing by Gunner Stockton there.

So how cool is it for him of his regular season career?

He's got a shot at all those records.

And to win a state championship.

Yeah, it's a setup.

Listen, they didn't hide it.

They talked about it.

said, Listen, if it happens, it happens.

We all want to break it.

want to win games and follow I don't care if I break it or not, I want to win the state championship.

they know the scope of that a record of that on that sideline.

I can promise you that.

down and 13 here for Swain's pearls, play of the quarter.

DeMello Jones going to throw it incomplete and it's going to be fourth down off Jones is down to the shot and Coach Roberts talked about that as he gets up runs off and just unable just just don't have it.

like that, it just can't do much to fall behind by two touchdowns.

to Prince Aminu and.

side of the 50 it's Rod Stewart's first punt is any indication this was a at the 40 and fumbled and Swain's burrow the break they need it how about that Wow just what you can order there.

Schuyler Toney, recovery number 20 right there.

Yep.

He gets on top of it.

Much better.

Punt it, Matt.

you catch one like that with this roof losing the ball.

and it got some height on it.

with a much needed turnover where Waynesboro goes on offense the sophomore back in there quarterback.

this is the smart play for them, no doubt.

to Demelo that.

from the quarterback shotgun position and then a big strong run down to the 46 yard line by Quinn Brown.

pick up about four there.

yards rushing on.

The season came in at 992. going to be second down and seven back in there at quarterback Jordan Williams shares his yard who's Quinn Brown right there number 11 plus in he's gone over 1000 yards.

his first waynesburg of the season.

he's at 1200 plus developed Jones approaching 1200 on the season Brown three for 13 and one they're definitely in four down There's no question and I guarantee right here on a third one.

Demelo trying to get outside, follow and picks up the first down show his great quickness.

They he it back there and he's able to shift it to another game the job by Prince really set the edge just to my speed from Jones and move the chains and man needs to do it clock, move the chains.

Stay ahead of the chains first and ten from the 37.

Brown gets the handoff.

going to get two yards on the block.

and game within the game.

they had enough time to tape ankles, so they wanted a Georgia Tech.

They went the indoor kids laid out.

over there at Georgia Tech as well.

by saying not until 255 to 4:00.

Correct.

over there at Georgia Tech and three hour ride from a really three to Atlanta left this morning, DeMello Jones going to throw it in the 21 yard line.

and let it drop man he had him if he could have just they speak a little straight up the field on a vertical route.

more air underneath it.

I love DeMello Jones.

fans are going to have to make a change.

Passing the ball is not his strength.

and we see him nearly he's trying to throw the ball.

so you know, it's not going to be in the pocket for him offensively, maybe a jet sweep or something like that.

Those outs can be called by Prince.

wide to the top of your screen are going to call a timeout timeout 17 the second of the half.

Tigers resume is brought to you by DB trip to the finals 2000. a state champs region three region titles 17th region title.

Waynesboro in 1990. down there with the swings for fans.

Roberts told me that this squad has traveled 1073 miles in the span and all the yellow busses at that.

has that same mentality.

It is loud over here.

to get here to support their team.

You see it right here.

included an 815 departure.

Tech to get taped up early to make the most of their time.

of getting their first state title.

Miles.

They're like dog miles.

Yes, they are just like us.

Yeah.

It's not like the luxury bus.

in the backfield and gets out of it and they're going to finally get him out of bounds at the 41 yard line.

As Tallmadge, for an interception, gets the TFL instead.

Still can't get him to the ground.

just running to the football all the way outside.

they're trying to get him to the ground.

They just he just runs out of grass turf.

on the field here from the 40 yard line.

And Stewart is standing at his own 46 to kick, kicks it to the far side end over end, bounces backwards.

Oh, man.

is going to get the ball at the 29.

So that ends up being an 11 yard punch.

but at some point and ten for the 12, who had a good win last time.

haven't helped you at all.

Your position wise.

management keys to the game when Prince has the ball.

Rusty and they knew they and drop eight.

So they want to be patient, and don't force anything.

explosive plays.

and they want to make as it's called no yards after catch.

the way Prince thought they would before.

And that is Waynesboro rushing three, dropping eight.

and then follow drop on the first drive for a touchdown.

an eight yard punt because they've set the line of scrimmage at the 32.

So first and complete to Hester and more for Hester high steps over man from Thornton Hester that secondary to drop.

So what do you do end big wide receiver there And he did as the Wolverines are moving again the sweet 19 with three down and I think is going to have to make a decision to bring an extra guy in the box to bring an extra guy off the edge with three Wolverines.

to Cosby on the end.

BROWN Cosby takes a shot to the head down to the 30 yard line and the 31 that's going to be a nine yard pickup.

Yeah.

Good job blocking their bad.

get out on those backers, they'll go just not guys out of the way.

but it's nine yards down the field.

Before anyone gets to you.

Almost a full second down on one file, who can they get to him?

He gets away from it, throws it The Cosby.

out of the 27 Great elusiveness by Aaron.

Final look.

right there, because you did dial it up.

You did bring pressure to get him to the ground.

They show something different.

get him to the ground followed.

delivers and moves the chains.

But it's what I'm seeing.

We got to bring something up.

They can't do what they have been doing.

ten for 12 130 yards passing for Aaron to the number two on the career all time with only Trevor Lawrence in front of him.

at the goal line by Demelo Jones.

by Jones on thought Tester.

the speed on that one?

He ate up space right there at the end.

come through right here and just close that out.

That's perfect.

In fact, that's what this week in preparation for the state championship game.

Elbert County, they were down on the road quarterfinals and semifinals to get to this championship game.

any team, this road, the big cheese built forward to get this Mercedes Benz.

I can promise you that.

at the first half highlights.

very quickly with fellow second play.

second play after the fumble recovery.

catch Didn't take long the little hitch route but then it was Prince Avenue for a spell.

run there by Talmage touchdown lead and then Philo is intercepted after they were down 21 to 6. for the score.

they will talk about that the block kick by Tarver line and Demelo Jones turns that into a score right away.

as we get ready to start the third quarter pest management the page is the total yards for Prince?

We can't expect it, man.

is all for Waynesboro but it's been in the 98 yard interception Matt to stay in this football game.

yards for both teams 299 for Prince Avenue yard day total offense.

and they're only down three points to the possession as well.

I mean, Prince has done they think they're up 31 to 7.

Yeah.

to start this third quarter?

Both teams are trade punches.

the way finished they went into that we were about to get a knockout punch.

28 to 6. to play in our season and perhaps respected coaches in the state.

at the state championship game, you do get second guessed.

goal opportunities.

Yep.

and actually came up negative six points had the money at yard pick six.

you know, that's part of being a stat.

Hey, coach, listen, we're down there.

Let's take that three next time.

So we'll see if they make any adjustments.

by Buckle up, Georgia.

and Prince Avenue's short return.

Right.

yard line to begin this third quarter back in the bends.

the weather that we've over the last couple of days.

winds and inside it is beautiful.

Tuesday, Wednesday, high school football means everything.

championship, you're going to find a way to be here.

in my opinion and our kids deserve to play here.

they start from the 31 yard line, scrambles out of the pocket, going to have himself a first down as he slides forward to the 42 yard line.

Now, we had replay review come into play it on two placements.

the 32 on a punt and on the block punt.

instead of the three and nobody knew it.

That's what I like to hear.

This is get our jobs done and well done by the replay team.

And we're all learning here.

for in this building.

So first and ten after the slide goes to the tied in Nick in the pass catching column and he is the to catch a pass from phyllo today it's a little shovel shovel pass there and Grant's going see a five low runs the football.

If they run their DBS off, a little hitch pattern goes there too.

catch the game That's going to be a first down, you know.

it dawned on me that we can go five wide, yard line if we want and hit a big play.

in on the play where they had it they were going five wide empty set 2.5.

Why they just threw it the wrong one.

Not many as the ball goes to Cosby.

And Cosby takes a shot from Demelo Jones so Demelo can bring the lumber to listen.

that was a tip of the cap, a little flood route.

That's and make the tackle with the.

Oh, that's the old flipper.

Yeah, that's the old mean Joe Green there.

You don't that much.

Second down and three ball sitting on the 37 Cosby going to get stopped in his tracks and a big TFL right there by the Tigers Jayden Worthen comes up with big tackle from loss Get off blocks watch him get off the block back up for a negative play.

No gain there.

and about four and a half for Prince Avenue and it give it right back.

Give them five cheap ones.

That was Isaiah Brown who jumped offsides.

but I believe he jumped off encroachment penalty penalties in the first down.

where you have to be careful to sleep here.

Sure you're going to hit you short.

they're over the top.

Yep.

They're definitely gonna take shot.

Bailey, Stockton and all those guys, receiver group by committee.

who was his best wide all summer, had a season ending injury.

some different guys below on first down pockets clean now going to just run it and hits a knee at the 30. wanted go down right there, down.

a big time wide receiver for him.

So many injuries.

Yeah, kid grew young.

two six foot in a few months.

spoke really high on Brody Tarver also brought him back and played corner.

corners, collarbone because Vandegrift said, next as a senior for Brody Talbot, and the pass goes underneath to Hudson going to bring up third down.

there underneath and Swain's of running to the football so you know something's up and when they release you that easy, something's coming in behind him.

A good job trailing there by Stewart.

Third down and three.

Got to get off the field.

two down territory if you're Prince Avenue won 45 total tackles coming into this game and pick up the first down Cosby.

Yes.

to get to get that first down.

Great vision there.

He tried to go outside, wasn't there.

Watch him.

go right back upfield, north, south to move the chains.

That's young EMC.

Now, you might not want to see me do.

Well, nowadays, I don't know if I want to use it tonight.

You got New Year's Eve coming out.

Maybe we do.

going to kick off for Prince Avenue.

sure they kick it away from the guys head, and it's going to be fielded and a good return for Swain's burrow see where they spot this out.

side of the 58 right field position.

out on the edge by Swain's burrow kick return guy just the contain man for Prince and that allowed him to get another 15, Williams on the return as you see.

Jones The big plays for the Tigers the 96 yard, I thought it was 98 it was a long way to mellow Jones jersey.

He thought it was 98. and the BLOCK punt by Schuyler Coney and Tarver was the one who blocks Toney ended up recovering a fumble on a punt return.

So let's see, they're going to bring back replay, fixed the spot.

All right, Let's bring in Dave Runnels.

to explain what happened on that play right there.

the kind of tight play on the sideline.

A lot of bodies there.

the ball actually were out of bounds.

So correct They knew the spot back yards love it that was corrected up to the 50 yard line and you Prince ran the ball a little bit more they're coming out with Eden Field at quarterback a little more from the 45 yard line Jordan Williams on the cutback to the 30 yard line did not see much at all in that first half.

But that's a big carry right there.

He rushed for 1200 yards this season.

So some bias there.

to press the whole foot in the ground.

Nice move there.

Finished off, move the chains, pickup down to the 32 first and ten.

for Jordan Williams.

He's up to 14 yards.

Had a negative four in the first half.

Sleeves rolled right back down there first and ten from the 32. rushes down to the 24. as wide as you could and Prince is double teaming him.

So it takes an extra guy out of the box against that litter box.

they're going to spread you out safety.

second down and two from the 24 Swain's burrow down ten in this game, they've done a great job.

28 to 6 at one point.

they have been counterpunching ever since.

DeLay a game.

and three that will drive you crazy delay trying to get the signal in.

I've been You see Coach Roberts just walks it off.

He knows he's got a young quarterback.

You've got to breathe.

to the second seven.

visiting with Scott Roberts this week.

they started the season eight and oh, great football.

there at the end of the regular season to get the players attention and Ball goes out here to DeMello Jones at the 21 yard line.

because he just runs through arm tackles, finishes, always finishes standing up.

for DeMello Jones.

Like the rhythm.

Yes.

running their offense right now.

had is put it in field at quarterback.

Let's give us a vertical threat to passing Wildcat here on first down It looks like they're having some trouble They might have to burn a timeout.

Yep and they're going to have to time out Slings were their first or second half.

it's first and ten.

You don't want to take the penalty.

No not same time.

My goodness.

for your back pocket for a tight game but they had to burn it.

The going Jones said all season long, we we kept telling the guys, you know, you got to do that.

They work it.

we were playing up to our capability.

to get kids to listen to you like me.

and kind of watch swings.

you think you know what Prince and swings going to meet back up again, they take two losses.

and it causes them to go on the road.

thinking, Man, Swain's really got to go.

Four in a row on the road, became just the 12th team four straight games on the The last to do it was called LA county first in ten balls out of the timeout Williamson motion and he's got another first down as do Melo Jones rambles down to the nine yard line man I absolutely love this play call they seal off the back 33 fellow a little bit, it's too late.

of the middle linebacker, the crease is there and Jones gets it.

Love that play design Swain's bro early third quarter touchdown see the box got pass goes to Williams short side down to the six He goes and I'll tell you Matt at this Waynesburg offensive line they're starting to establish himself look at that block they're on 1233.

You start to get to those second a ton of in the first half.

We had 51 Carson Palmer there their left guard and all state did not play last year, got hurt.

He's back this year for his junior season Same play second down because they give it to him this time but he gives it instead of keeping it.

It was JJ So making the tackle play in both ways.

single-A football time of year, man, both ways, offense and defense.

in a couple of weeks at Georgia League and third down and goal from the three Jones going to keep it he's going to get stopped at the two Good job on the quarterback watch Alston head 56.

There actually is number one Giddens comes in to clean that up of course they don't kick they don't even kick extra points.

So they're going for it right here.

quarter opening drive for Burrow, about 10/4 and goal from the two got Stewart in there to block going to follow him and get into the end zone for the score How about big Jared Steward running convoy Demelo Jones playing zero doubt.

Who was going to run that play?

Good job Swain's brutal blocking up front, and he does the rest.

They had a double team on 56. and that's all Jones needs.

Gerard Stewart just collapsed.

The defender.

Yes, he did.

And Jones ran up behind him.

Now Tarver in there on this two point conversion.

Try.

They're going to run a reverse to find the end zone for two 2826.

It's been a while since take a game over like this man and DeMello Jones is doing just that.

Jones.

He has scored all 26 points for Swain's burrow today, and a two point conversion.

It is a 2826 game.

Marshall Wilcox County team.

from every possible way and Demelo has got his team within two and what an answer to start the second half.

like kick return.

He can't throw the ball no problem.

Don't have a passing game, no big deal.

Although Swain's bro today, 59 of it came on about a five yard Jones, who took it the other 54 and the kickoff coming down from the five Cosby on the return and that's where Prince will go who's had an active day.

How you will attack.

Let's send it down to Autumn Johnson.

Hey, guys.

just go for all 26 and he's not slowing down anytime soon.

as we know him as a football player, But I wanted to know more about him.

Beyond that, great teammate, wants to win at all costs, ahead of this championship game, but he doesn't let that get to him.

start to shut down around this time, but not him.

He went down and he wasn't able to finish the game that stuck with him.

And now he wants revenge in this game.

Right?

Here's the run by Hudson Hill.

Nope.

That was Cosby again on the run.

excuse me, the 37 yard line.

Jesus.

And as we to play here in the third quarter, in charge and getting the reconditioning to get their money's worth this year.

Philo going to gut it deep at the 27 yard line.

And there's Hudson Hill.

Fine Low and the freshman makes a great catch 38 yard completion Wow you're looking a kid 72 balls this year as a ninth grader to end up as one of the all time.

Yes.

Pass catchers in state history.

to a great start, a great jump start.

get to get on the field or be on the team.

And as a ninth grader might be our first ever four four guy.

a lot to Bailey Stockton.

he's got to be faster than Bailey.

Yep.

to watch here on GPB in the state final against Swain's Burrow and Cosby on the Carry On Cosby down to the 12 yard line.

And Bailey is a great example.

Let's look at Cosby on the run here.

Bailey is a great example of a player.

he didn't have a whole lot going on until that state championship.

Peay or somewhere and got hurt.

So he's kind of lost in the shuffle.

One of the all time state championship.

Never forget it.

looking to that end zone caught by Dockery for the touchdown by 12 yard touchdown catch for C.J.

Dockery It's his second catch of the game for a score five low but still good ball It just drops it in there for a touchdown.

does a good job getting his feet down by Prince Avenue and follow now with 55 touchdown passes he is one off the record for a single season and the kick is up and it did make it through and it's 35 to 26 campaign scoring drive five plays 69 yards.

Swain's burrow had pulled within two.

But don't be changing that channel because the Tigers still have that guy wearing number one one won Aaron Philo today 249 yards.

from setting the all time and breaking Trevor Lawrence's record.

Georgia those two kids doing battle in Atlanta, a couple of blocks over over next couple of years.

There Phi, the Georgia Tech Commit on the left, the Georgia Bulldogs commit on the right, here in the state final.

And that's the way it's supposed to be the end zone to be non returnable.

at the 20. now, Greg Vandegrift looked at him This thing better go to that end zone.

They better not be into too.

Could you imagine and giving him some run in space.

Oh my gosh.

to go back out there on offense.

for the Swain's Barrow Tigers and a two point conversion.

yards.

Matt used do to run the ball with some authority now it was a 14 yard pickup right there that's built on the ground game right there.

But it's the timeliness of those rushes.

and he's going to be stopped in his tracks by Luke Darley, the junior corner.

They ready for that one?

when he catches it.

Yes.

and get him on the ground we've seen what that can become.

as soon as that motion to that way.

You saw Rod Stewart, the fullback slash linebacker, he was coming out there and that is the end of the quarter.

He was coming out there to throw the block before he got there.

Yeah.

And Melo Jones took an awkward step or three yards on the play that senior year when they turned it was Elka that held the hand.

Yes.

And Elka just blew them out.

and I think it was the junior year for Brock semifinal game, and it was 6257. that point they had closed the gap.

Yes.

even though it was a loss, it was that game that kind of signaled the entire program, all the players corner.

We got in there.

Yep.

Senior year, Brock Vandergrift to the state championship time.

Swinging girl Coming up.

in South Carolina.

They had to play Baylor out of Tennessee.

in Pensacola this year, as they've been to Nashville and trying to find games for next year.

When he does release it, but he's playing them all the way up from single-A six a Well, they are 11 minutes and 13 seconds away but Waynesboro was giving them a battle.

They come storming back after trailing 21 to 6, facing third going to fire.

It is picked off at the 44 yard line who comes up with the interception.

and he has stayed on this.

step right underneath this throw.

Four catches and 25 yards.

Britt last year.

Yeah.

Avenue them to that victory over so Wolverines back on offense going to sling it out get thrown to the ground at the 38 yard line and this is not unlike what happened last year you to how tired is Waynesboro on defense.

both sides of the football and you see pace that prince is going there on the line of scrimmage again.

Well they felt like they got embarrassed talking about Swain's burrow.

in that fourth quarter.

the game in Prince Ave and Prince Avenue was able to put their foot and pull away for the 5234. here in 2023?

nine with under ten and a half now to play.

Can Swain's burrow answer?

come up with a few more spectacular plays it goes in inside the 30 Dakari all the way down to the 14 yard line.

call there by John brick slips underneath with some motion wide.

right back underneath there to Dakari love the plate is on first and ten ball at the 14 yard line one at the line of scrimmage great penetration that time for the Tigers Sammy Trey at the defensive tackle position Yeah think man if he has to lie low sitting at to 75 for the day Cosby on the cut back down to the nine and they're going to be about four yards short to go and empty the play here.

Now third down, they'll call it five.

The line to gain appears to be the five.

than five for him.

Maybe the four he can run it.

and score the touchdown for Brant.

Nine yard touchdown run for Aaron Filer.

he is accounted for today.

Passing now two rushing and it's 41 to 26.

Everybody runs off in coverage follow.

I can assure you that.

they know exactly where that record is for that young man.

And he's the state single season touchdown going to go on through at the 38 yard line.

not to touch that ball.

Yep.

The kid is and the tigers going to take over All right kick out of bounds on the kicking team first and ten from 42 So at the 40 yard line.

not out of this game by any means, to get some stops they can score.

We know that that guy can score.

We know that.

Can they stop them?

and then stop Prince and win this game?

You got to get some stops.

So first and ten ball at the 42 pocket breaks down he's in trouble with the quarterback sack There's the big four star they just swing moves a double team They had two guys on him but make that sack.

four star rated as high as the number nine defensive tackle in the class of 2025 in the state of Georgia 13 offers including Georgia at second down and 19 Jordan Williams and wisely gets out of bounds.

and he stops the clock.

Good job there, Pace.

weaving in and out of traffic.

press the line of scrimmage.

Find that crease.

Buckle Dockery there.

to get out of bounds to try to get another yardage you know to conserve clock at this point than get that additional yard.

got to be four down territory here and Phil getting the run at quarterback and field going to run at himself and pick up the first down How about that that nobody expected picks up the first down Yeah do what you got to do right here.

fake comes right in Good job 33 clearing him out picks up a critical the game first and ten ball at the 47 block approaching 7 minutes left in regulation the ball is fumbled.

and that deal could make the exchange with Jordan Williams.

Now, things get a little some words after the tackle.

It just mishandled that quarterback bad snap and lucky to get that ball so that play started with a bad snap It's going to get chippy.

for the state championship.

You get it close to the end here.

is trying to finish this thing off, but of these two teams.

Two years in a row.

for the first time to LJ Morgan, and a first down at the 37 as that goes for 15 yards.

Yeah Nice young quarterback there He gets upfield after that negative play on the bad snap Got to play with some as the clock is now approaching 6 minutes and the cutback touchdown swings more.

they need that answer right there.

You see the speed and open field and Brown takes it to the house 37 yards on the touchdown run by Quinn Brown, breaking tackles And once he gets there, he takes it for the touchdown.

Young man who's been offered by coastal Carolina and UAB, just a junior this season got him back in the game.

right here to make it an eight point game.

Jones the quarterback out of Stewart and Jones did he get there you might have a review right here.

They're looking for the score.

It's going to be hard.

whether he got a cross the plane to the goal.

angle whether he did or not.

He stays most challenging with the runner plays on the video review.

Let's see, does the ball get there.

That's going to be the angle right there.

If we have if we have the view, that we get right here.

along with the goal line to overturn the call, I don't think.

out of the three camera angles that the ball broke the plane of the goal made on the field, will step aside.

The play is under review.

Meantime, the big touchdown run by Quinn Brown has back in the game.

or is it a ten point deficit?

So the officials have made a decision.

the college confirmed the runner did not raise the goal line.

Point is no good.

And the key component there, that the officials had to work with and there was no video evidence on the field, Correct.

what it's here for you.

I mean, and pretty clear immediately that it wouldn't, that at this point in the game.

do you go inside right here?

Well, the you know what?

they've got ten guys stacked up there to receive at the 19 yard line.

But history was made right there.

we've had in Georgia.

history in the officials got it right So anticipating onside kick here also their kicker let's see how bounces up and it's covered by Prince at the 48 good stuff we you check back in with autumn Johnson give them some life first Waynesboro coach that he learned from last year's that even though you might be successful, there's still going to be some struggle.

some of their flaws early in the season, get better for this moment.

hard to come off the championship.

You have to improve.

And we have we're more disciplined and this game is far from our guys.

Yeah, Prince up ten.

left in regulation file.

got a clean pocket to work with throws and Hudson Hill's going to get close by Prince Avenue players to know to get the first down man.

running the middle of the field with a busted coverage right there blow first.

And ten ball is at the 41 Hudson Hill, nine catches 97 prior to that catch right there.

So he's up over 100 now, ten for 1 to 7.

What a performance by the freshman today Cosby solid four yards going to sleep well tonight man and defense had an interception as well when and the clock will be near by the time Prince Avenue snaps it again getting up to the line of scrimmage.

You see Aaron follows 16 Trevor Lawrence's all time passing ten in the state championship game.

You've got one on one coverage and he's down to the 31 but it's going to be third and one to go.

one time out left that correct?

Waynesboro has one.

Yes.

One timeout remaining.

Yep.

Prince has their full complement of three ball at the 32 run by Philo.

Oh my goodness.

because that's where that knee hit.

but where did he hit?

And they're moving the chains.

They're putting the ball at the 31.

I thought he had to get to the 30, a first down.

And 31 might be generous.

from upstairs.

I think the 31 spot might be generous.

I think his behind hit at the 32. going to be a play kind of video review.

right here.

Yes.

from the booth, correct, Upstairs?

Yes, it did.

It came from Booth.

Now, look right here.

Yeah, he's down 31 and a half maybe.

Yeah.

I don't think he quite got to the 31. video look for them than that.

Yes.

Two point play.

No defenders around him.

for where that ball should be.

without it being announced, through video review upstairs to see here's another look at it.

while he looks it from that angle, elbows down, elbows down to from that angle.

It looks like the 32.

So, you know, so from what I've seen here, here's a here's good one right here.

You're almost straight down the line.

And we're see right there, knee down.

So that's a 31.

It's to the 31.

Yes.

Play The 31 would have put it.

and a half.

Is that correct?

the one was the line to game.

Okay.

he reached the 31, it's a first down.

Okay.

plus a foot, he's got a foot to go.

So replay review and grabs us here in the fourth quarter.

Got an answer for the officials after video review.

short at the line of the game.

just inside the 32. with a running clock on my arm already.

Well, I love it.

there.

Yes.

I'll come call down.

and less than a yard or right at a yard.

it spotted almost on the 30 although they've been under they are going to go under center field formation, man to tight formation.

to the 1968 state championship right here.

T formation.

They hardly had TVs in 19/64 and one and pick up the first down and one that might have been 11 yard pick up for final.

does he need to break the record?

He needs 16 to break it.

And there at the he need 16 to break it.

He needs there at the 21.

16 to break it the single season touchdown passing record, too.

He could get it all with one throw first.

And ten clock goes under for I'm going to throw it to Hudson Hill.

going to go down at the 15 yard line.

right there.

He's going to have a huge career.

Yep.

That's 11 catches for him today.

That gives him 83 for the season to 91.

The total he needed to get the 301 to set the record go into the air again.

It's caught and the tight end.

Hurley has the first down at the seven, chipping away at that record.

a rushing attempt here.

and two from breaking.

Trevor Lawrence's all time state right here, and it's first and goal to go at the seven and a half play clock comes down to ten.

They're taking their time winding it down.

Game clock is under 2/51 and goal to go from the eight passes thrown and touchdown and that's the record two of them catch of the day career passing leader in Georgia and he ties the single season record with his 56 touchdown pass.

And he gives Joe Burrow ring me and that touchdown pass championship ring and the state championship record book he gets the record and ties another and in all likelihood championship for the Wolverines.

Georgia tech Pats coordinator.

on the sidelines when he came off and yeah, I'm sure they swapped that game ball out.

Yep, there it goes.

Ball goes to the sideline and smiles all around.

you're looking at the all time passing yardage leader in Georgia emotional same crying right there coaching staff he understands the scope of the record just broke and there the ball goes in the suitcase and he put that thing in the Oh, thank you man.

What a day for Aaron Philo and the Prince Avenue Wolverines.

That's Bailey, Stockton.

Give him Bailey.

on the sideline.

is up and good 4932 and we've seen from the Georgia Tech and the Georgia Commit today, Aaron.

no doubt DeMello Jones for the University of Georgia.

in this building and you've got two power, separate from the rest.

And today, Aaron Filer and DeMello put on a show.

So he ties the passing touchdowns for a season record with number 56 and he's number passing touchdowns list.

behind Gunner Stockton and Trevor passing touchdowns.

He ties Gary Lane for the single season touchdown record and he sets the state's all time passing record straight state championship.

in those legs of theirs.

And that's Cody on the return and Waynesburg goes back on offense.

they haven't given up on this game yet.

from scoring every single time they touched the football.

And what a battle by Swain's girl they couldn't knock him out all day long.

Prince would get momentum and sways.

Bro would answer back.

And here just kind of ran out of gas.

Matt DeMello Jones has scored 26 of their 32 points today and he heads back out there and lines that infield at quarterback ball to go low here to Jordan Williams at the end of the play and let's see by contact with the ground.

Prince Avenue celebrates as if they got the ball.

They did not spot that down.

going to have another review, I believe.

Let's take a look at it here.

Right there is the ball out.

I believe he's down when.

It comes out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Play is under further review.

I think the review here is going to show at the 40 7000 offensively.

So take another look at it right there.

it looks like Jordan Williams is his back out of his hands.

He is down right there.

Yeah.

And the ball is still in his possession.

So shouldn't take long.

I don't think you can tell.

And I'm correct.

And the ref, the review is going upstairs.

The guys on the field have nothing.

relayed now.

Correct?

Yep.

That's tremendous.

That's the way I love that replay review.

Love is a little faint and look how fast.

That's the way it's built.

may have missed something, the replay return is confirmed first down Prince every oh wow.

That surprises me.

Yep.

have had a different view than we saw, but now here's the question.

They don't throw for one more touchdown to get the state single season touchdown record.

We shall see.

yardage was coming back out didn't so follow with 56 the season is tied with Corey Lane passing record goes out with 218 to go going to by the way to Hudson Hill so that will add slides down inbounds at the 42 yard line.

about that freshman stay in bounds.

classic last year in Rome.

I'm hoping he's in that game this year.

If he's not, I might know some people.

That's his 12th catch of the day.

Clock goes under 2 minutes to go.

just has to run out the clock here 12 catches for one, 23 for Hudson Hill first and ball at the 42 handoff again.

So I think the answer is yes.

to throw another touchdown pass.

Very safe play last.

So on to just a oh, you get those easy yards 4932.

Prince Avenue counting down the seconds state championship.

What a job by Swain's burrow talking about what Prince Avenue did.

the eight in a difficult situation to have to win four consecutive road games just to get back to the final.

Yes.

the state championship.

the two state championship that will take forever with this team.

Certainly got a young quarterback.

three freshman linebacker parole is LaMarcus Webb.

And we saw Webb have a spectacular season this year.

He had 12 solo tackles.

was his 12th solo tackle of the day.

So 30 tackles in the last two weeks.

Just a great way for LaMarcus his high school football career.

it was the state championship.

But certainly finished his career strong.

and hoping this young man into the next game between and Bolton, in either one of these cities and is looking blue on the other.

Yep.

Hopefully he has not sustained in the final seconds of this game.

I hate to see that.

Scott Roberts, he's done at this school.

they had a change in administration.

after he went ten and two.

What are we doing?

What do we do with it?

But he got rehired.

is history.

to two consecutive state titles.

and the performance.

This team and the success of this program has vindicated him.

As Prince Avenue gets ready to raise the trophy.

But unfortunately, this game with the injury to Webb.

Yeah, man.

Opie, I was certainly hoping to bounce off the ground here on this one.

So Prince Avenue and their fourth you see that loss to L.A. in the second round of 2019?

That's the one we were talking about.

That's the one that coach knew they were knocking on the doorstep.

They felt like they had turned the corner.

They'd finally close the gap on the team and that was L.A. with Brock Vandegrift as the quarterback, defeating Trinity Christian the next Trinity Christian came up and got the big victory in a row over Swain's burrow.

So they get Webb to the sideline.

Prince does not have to snap because the clock has restarted with Webb across the field to shake hands.

In a great show of sportsmanship, state championship, their third Swain's burrow in consecutive seasons.

And you see the players doing and certainly deserved it.

Swain's burrow, there's a coach, Mark coordinator of the two time state to take in the state championship Wolverines here tonight.

Thank you.

You think you run some ideas off him.

Well, tell me what you think that I'm guessing that they do.

It's kind of ironic.

You got a you got a couple of guys that played for assigned their offense a big family, starting linebacker there and Jake Bobo Rick there with her grandkids.
