championship.
before ten years ago to the day taking on Tucker on that date.
you're looking for in tonight's game?
their first ever state championship, kind of creekside attack.
Creekside It's been here, done that.
A lot of pressure to win that first state just survive those first few minutes.
Settle into the game.
to get their emotions in check as well.
since they played back on December 1st.
start with the coffee and their offense?
with senior running back Fred Brown, five foot nine and a half, £205, £210.
I talked to Cartersville today.
That played him last week.
and the word they used, he finds that for quarters with that young man.
You have to make it business, said you.
If you're going to tackle you look at that senior defensive end.
What I love about him, he's old school.
He gets in a four point stance.
You see him right there, relentless motor.
He's going to be key today in some negative place.
all season long.
Meanwhile, on the other they've got to star on offense as well.
That will be watching.
but coach Moe Dixon told me this week, in five eight period.
on both sides of the ball.
He's a locked down corner.
receiver got nine offers from he may have more when it's over but he is the guy that makes Creekside go.
on the defensive side, they list this and a couple of winners.
probably going to play today around one on one all year.
full with that anchor.
that's a grown man defense.
That's a man.
That's right.
Noto Palmer.
for more from Nikki.
How are you?
Hey there, guys.
when we talked to Coach Co this week, by having good people.
he was talking about his players, high school faculty to his guys.
And here's what I mean by that.
you're going to see all the stickers coaches get those stickers right.
to send this back when he was in white to see if any of his guys or performed excellence and in return deserve a helmet sticker.
he said.
He gets his way.
receiving stickers from the teachers bonds and relationships that support them on and off the field.
How cool is that?
Very cool.
Nikki, thanks so much.
Great insight as we get ready for this.
I'll tell you what, of course, in South Fulton County.

He left in Douglas, Georgia tonight.
you go out to eat anywhere.
You can do any shopping.

Yeah.
Is out outstanding.
to take a look here at both coaches five age championship tilt.
What a contest this figures to be.
he is.
and what a job he's done at Creekside.
Outstanding.
13 and one.
But their one loss was pretty impressive.
in just a moment.
We as we get ready for our opening Georgia Seatbelts save lives.
so they will take the ball and they will kick off here on maroon and white helmets coffee five a championship about to get underway.
Three eight titles already done.
Cedar Grove one that one but he recovers in time.
That's not the way you want to start.
Anthony Paulk there The defensive back where Coffey will take over first attempt.
the speed of Creekside covering that kick.
are coming in a hurry and they back up.
Coffey To start the game, handling what he has done this year.
touchdowns against only two interceptions he has been for them during this season.
And Rusty, as you mentioned, can first ever time here in the dome handoff on first down ten yards there to start.
Very nicely done.
the big guy right there.
right now brought to you by regions.
Grant Turner, Ruiz Smith we just saw Jerod McCall Shook and Cole to the score positions for these Trojans and Brown yet again.
you kind of sneaky right there.
he is.
You see them, you listen.
He's not built like Garrison Hearst.
It doesn't matter to him.
of a state championship.
I can tell you that.
That's right.
Four yards there, a third and one.
They go to Brown again.
by a host of dark shirts.
Doesn't matter that you can feel the energy from coffee.
This is right up their alley.
your throat.
if they throw it all night.
as long as they can do that.
Good, that just smash mouth football.
was right there to meet him head on.
Didn't matter.
get it out to the 23 yard line first and ten keeper Hensley.
He's got to see 30 and more.
He's got two men to beat.
Can they catch him?
And they finally get him out of bounds?
Hicks right behind him, the Morris for 56 yards.
Man, they hit you a couple of times you got your eyes.
They're looking in the middle and he's off to the races.
doesn't let him score but a huge chunk play for Coffey that freedom up on the outside for Hensley false start ball walk off five yards We'll try again prior to the snap five yard penalty steal first down and one of the top referees in the state of Georgia.
all season long and look there at Todd on this late afternoon day in downtown Atlanta.
Those guys are graded.
championship.
to get this achievement so good job by that staff How about this Creekside defense spelling that one out.
Let's take a look at them close up.
the game with regions Bank Johnson Barrow I head to the next level up front there.
and Tomori Terrell, just a freshman, by the way, Williams, Hicks, McCreery, Harper and Gray from Creekside High School.
Second and 15. out of one tackle but Nice job by the defense there.
Ricky McCrary, and Ricky's number one for your starters.
talking about a nose for the football.
there.
Causes Brown to bounce it out.
You want big man running east and west.
You don't want him going north and south.
Creekside will take that all day long east west.
That's right.
Great job there by William Start coming from behind with the sack.
Oh my goodness what a play Jerian Jones Coming from the weak side Yeah they call him that tackle Doesn't even get a hand on it and that could be a problem.
may have to have an extra h-back because right there that was that was speed.
you see five sacks on the season.
The four yard loss was now fourth and 19. to the 12 hands but he overthrew him and they'll turn the ball over on downs by the Creekside defense down, settling in and making the stop.
They got to go, man to man.
They're not going for you to see that.
It's three on three right there.
Creekside is not here to discuss things.
And I'll tell you what, on defense, you up like basketball.
for both teams interested in who can win.
as Creekside goes five wide to one side, you get a wide shot of that.
Look at that.
Now, Roger McCreary comes over next to Vince and Berry and quarterbacks.
very quickly there to Travis Terrell.
There's a lot going on there at the start.
you know, really the motion there.
in, see what kind of coverage you're in go in motion and a defensive guy You know, it's man to man.
Yeah.
what the defense is in.
Berry 39 touchdowns So we've got a couple and don't make a lot of mistakes.
Six yard first throw under pressure.
he'll tuck it and get out of bounds short what great speed there in the backfield they're going to close quickly brought to you by regions the guys up front, Holmes, Williams, protecting the skill players.
We've already talked about DICKERSON, the wide receiver, just a sophomore, 581 Caleb Holmes committed to Pittsburgh over 13 other offers.
That's impressive.
and one now Terrell in motion and flags everywhere.
he gets the first down but it's like oh, Owens got something here in Creekside.
We've got a player down here just to finish.
Two men in motion.
The second man did not get what he said.
Replay third down, man.
you can hear this popping up.
but whatever they're made of those pads, it's pop.
Yeah.

But whatever they're wearing, it's poppin.
Well, we've seen pictures.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah.
Wow.
You could feel it, man.

I talked to Cartersville head coach Connor and he said, I'm talking about Coffey.

is going to play Creekside man to man.
That's going to be some big time battles.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Hey, let's get to the Keys.
by Breda Pest Management, football.
You get copy to offense.
a little different than some people think.
They want to run the football, And you look at Creekside, the line of scrimmage.
They don't want to have these long drives and they want to tackle Big Fred Brown.
and six seven yards to death today.
No, no.
And he's seen that a couple of times offensive series in this game Big Brown that's what you can't do Rusty ten yards and more first down and more territory 17 yards on the carry here Watch the legs grinding here there Just look how low he is man keeps his legs moving to right center of gravity capacity That You know he reminds me a bit of Jerome Bettis.
Yeah, I think.
Yes.
At the same level.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Many of these coaches round and he is strong man.
Yeah.
Another Ron Dane he takes a breather Very patient Yep.
there got in behind him talking to coach next thing you know, he gets four.
He gets seven.
Yeah, Yeah.
Love that comparison you make.
first hit he can get away from.
It's the second back he gets.
Yeah.
you got a 40 £50 advantage on to your point three yard gain brings up second down and the handoff going right side now job on the defense make that stop with the running with the run look at that basically set the edge not leg that stiff that's that's Rodrick McQueary who plays both ways tailback and corner man he is physical.
on both sides of the ball in this game on third down for Coffey 22 offers for number zero for a reason Hanzlik for the handoff to Hanzlik and he goes nowhere I'll Terrell I'm on the shirts to greet him I mean we're going to go to this week they made no bones about it.
to be played in a phone booth for them.
Yeah.
those seven on seven stuff around here.
and they're going to run right at you because Dixon and those guys especially up front.
rolling out as they're going to go for it.
No kicks complete.
Great job by Anthony Park on the catch for the Trojans from Coffey and wide receiver.
Southern key and man starts moving the chains through the air.
Yeah that's a good sign for them.
the sideline as he was taking a breather.
more than ten yards per catch.
He got 12 on that one.
and he's stopped this time before and so it'll bring up a second down for Coffey Brown to Creekside with big he's six for 325 and McCabe 0666538 ish This give a biscuit or two I mean those are high school kids now and just what Rusty was talking about 95 out of 107 been on the ground Robinson in motion.
Going for the pylon and the touchdown 21 yards to the keeper from Reese Hensley ran to the tunnel So I put the Forrest Gump signs down.
Yes, power sweep right here.
And he gets the edge and nobody's there.
And Larry, this sideline erupted.
right now for coffee.
And they didn't disguise it.
Not at all.
But what a good read by Hanzlik veteran.
He's got his guy behind him for the pitch.
the seam took it up into the for the house an extra point is good and Coffey 14 and oh on the season in the five eight title game just unable to get there Sneaky speed man sneaky speed.
Take a look at the scoring drive red ribbon campaign eight plays to get the ball to it on the ground.
in the pre game leading into this, that got him on offense.
The golf he wants to run.
and then you got some speed guy you see brown already over there and then getting his Gatorade in it Look at it.
He's good.
He's good.
is which we're playing outside today.
Right?
Exactly.
He's upset.
We're on the bench, right.
He doesn't mind at all.
Kick off is in the end zone.
brings it out to the 21st and ten.
where Creekside will take over from there.
for Creekside Offense brought to you control of high school football.
They want to get first downs.
They feel like they've got an advantage versus the Coffey defensive line.
Another another big group of guys there.
They want to move the chains.
Simple for coffee.
They're going to play basketball.
one on one on the outside.
and they're not changing today.
backs have got a challenge.
Those are the keys of the game.
350 to go in the first quarter.
game here in downtown Atlanta, drive completed his only pass run coffee.
That's their first card He calls time out.
I don't like what they see.
Yeah it's definitely information like the way their kids lined up.
But you're going to watch.
They're going to play press man.
watching this building on Sundays.
and those guys impressed, man.
and they're going to jam.
You trying to get off the ball.
going to take some shots, especially early game, this one out the entire week.
match that we have.
against the number two ranked team coffee 14 at Oak Creek side 13 and one He's got offers from Norfolk State, And here they go again with this Sidney good looking prospect, and they started brought a couple of guys in motion.
Let's see if they do the same.
Yep.
There he goes.
It's Terrell.
Back to the left.
Similar setup fumbled snap by Berry and that course and it took advantage we talked about him in the first the open number 25 it talked about Kofi looks like Creekside has got to handle building already down seven to nothing.
A couple of a bad snap.
Got to gather himself and get going.
Three yard loss there on the bobbled snap the chains Terrell in motion the handoff to him and he's got a first down.
How about Travis Terrell?
17 yards in first down for the Seminoles.
We want to talk about the chance.
because there was a little bitty hole the chains brought down.
And that's what keeps you up at night.
how do we contain this guy?
per carry.
And then he's a locked down corner.
Hey, he's the best player in five eight, and there's nobody else like him.
And in motion.
So a host of white shirts and that first down at the starting lineup for Coffey get back in the game with regions Bank up front Smith, Williams and Carter.
The backers.
We go to the defensive secondary.
Simpkins and Jaden Hancock, the junior five yard pickup there.
Gary with the handoff to Roger McCrary.
a number of times here.
Rusty, nice effort there.
rushing on the season and 13 touchdowns.
and he just gets enough to make it.
Third one.
Good job there.
that handoff came up at his facemask that and still get good, good yards close to a first down, third and one.
Now 90 seconds to go in the first quarter.
Creekside Prairie into Trojans territory for the first down.
I tell you what both teams right at each other are opened up some holes and move the chains here.
Look at his numbers.
almost 2000 yards coming in 13 times.
campaign, 2023, Barry looking to go deep.
He's got a man.
He overthrows him in the hands of Shane Kelly.
Is there a deep threat?
now he's trying to get it to Kelly just a man on him and overthrew it.
they're going to try that.
our athlete versus yours.
or two of those if you want Coffey to come out of that and you see Coffey right back to the line No Space seventh play of this series Berry handing off to McCrary Tobias Williams the third down coming up tackle backside but clinging does exactly what he's supposed to do and makes that tackle for a gain of one.
late in the phrase crazy like where to go.
What happened?
It's been pretty quick.
right?
Yep.
Big play here.
Play clock down to six Berry quick He's got him first down and a great job to keep it from becoming even more mad.
I love the call right there.
Two guys, two guys clear out.
He runs a little underneath.
Knowing that Coffey is going to be man to man, up there on the pitch and catch.
it's been exciting.
out here in this battle of titans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
it was the quarterback, Morris Hensley, running to the pylon and then some Coffey on top did you know that the same area can contain up to 95 termite colonies?

It is a true thrill for us.
Total yards here that coffee has done very, very well.
when it comes down to the numbers.
a little bit, get some first downs so far.
Coffee with a couple of quarterback some explosive plays up seven nothing so far began at the 20 at the 350 mark burning some clock as well try to tie the game here at seven Berry the cornerback looking to go deep Oh Edwards had his hands on it he missed a wide open touchdown two and a post round going to watch 80 he's just he's got his eyes locked.
progression there and got away with one.
is going to come back has to come back was running wide open number 80 receiver coach on the sideline.
Tell him, Hey, we saw it.
He saw it.
Yeah, because he was wide open for six.
and no white jersey running with him.
That's how open he was.
Yes.
Second down playing.
This went nowhere fast.
McCrary swallowed up by a host of Trojans.
Yeah.
Look at the plate before.
And Mary Berry he's got to go through his progressions.
getting up the field right there.
Colby was ready for that.
Corey Blair is up there in the edge and then didn't get the block one loss of two.
So third and 12. for a first down to keep this drive alive.
Opening bit of the second quarter, Berry going deep again.
He's got a man there.
But again, he overthrows him here and there.
just put the timing's there's it's not open.
But I understand the philosophy.
You got to do that.
You got to take these one on one shots.
But right now, man, this Coffey secondary great job.
the whole time in Enphase using a sideline to help him Ball's overthrown.
Great job on a deep ball.
So fourth and 12/12 play of the drive here for the Seminoles.
crossing route.
They just missed overthrows his receiver trying to get the ball to Dylan DICKERSON and they'll turn it over on downs.
You know your point.
but then that lead that middle open, and made some good positive yards.
Yeah.
I mean, you got to win some of those seam routes so you know, some of those routes just like this.
Their first one.
Creekside wants to take some and Coffey's We're going to play man to man.
ball is a 34 yard line on the switch after getting to the 33 yard line, and they turn the ball over a whistle flag on the line on the offense prior to the snap.
five yard penalty steal first down.
Thank you.
And that with your coffee because you don't being a primary running offense and brings up first and 15 now Brown trying to find something out there and Williams whistle dead we saw that that last game and want to bring a penalty Yeah it's they slightly happy they time Brown that's the thing the other twin one and zero.
Yeah.
pull it guard in a tackle to do at defensive back and that's exactly what he did.
Second and 17 quick and still on his feet McCall pass midfield Oh what a run by Matt McCall first down cocking 31 yards How did he get away from that.
I thought Creekside had the plate done and somehow Look, they're on him here.
Two players have him hand to the ground.
Great balance hands movement is complete and he is off to the races.
One, two.
Wow, what a play.
That's incredible.
Now in Creekside territory on first down Now let's get on to Nicky.
No, no Palmer guys what that that play is exactly the tempo that Coffey likes.
Coach.
Coach told us this week.
The thing I learned I didn't think we were fast enough.
unless you're a lineman.
he said.
as far as conditioning than a year before, really helped us with tempo at practice.
He does.
We don't run dancers after practice.
There's not time to rest practice.
we're not going to be out there forever.
We're going to utilize our time.
not trying to kill him in the summer.
don't want the coaches getting burnt out, what gets our kids in shape.
just flying to the ball.
They're speedy guys.
Yeah, they are.
Nicky, thanks so much.
Good luck there.
and look there at Mr. Brown.
Third and five coming up here at the middle Brown.

I'm telling you, man, if you get four quarters of that.
Yeah, look at him.
right attack up the big man and move the chains first.
And you got to let that man breathe.
Yeah.
Seven yard pick up there brings up first down and another flag.
You got false start again.
getting settled in snap false start offense five yard penalty steal first down if he's cramping took a shot in there Yeah it's a little bit of pain there too Pierce Yep He gets that worked out and he comes back.
Hensley overthrows his intended receiver Shuck the tight end, and they've been doing their rings up second down and 15. here You get in the first and 15 second 15 now and Creekside to have to attack them is second and 15. and their star runner dealing with an issue.
Handling the punch gets it to McCall defense there to limit him brings up third and long.
East-West all day a real low speed option are going to take the pitch back Perfect and number one, Ricky McCrary on the stop coffee and what they want to do again they surprise.
So you pass plays.
Yeah Got one on one with the bottom a little bit behind his man and that allows the defender to catch up.

Yep.
After review, it was determined was down at the 33 yard line on the catch.
after he tore it down.
So we appreciate the explanation there.
Not only was it right, it was efficient.
Quick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'll say that I don't know about you.
It has not been a terrible delay.
they've been very quick at it.
football.
We're still waiting.
I mean, we're 10 minutes into the season.
Let's take it to commercial breaks.
getting the decision and moving on, getting it right.
Just just great job.
Totally agree.
So a loss of three on that pass, playing Hensley whipping back across the way to Brady.
up pass the 40 How about the tight end?
Brady shook.
and couldn't get it to him.
They connect this time.
for the tight end.
Sure.
in the league back to the backside.
They got the blockers set up out front.
Great job, great play call coming out of that.
of the Creekside defense.
with not much happening first down plows his way forward still on his feet never went down.
Look at this.
jerseys that are down on the ground.
And he was still up.
I mean, just look at this guy.
He just keeps driving this.
there are four or five guys on the ground too much for him to get up.
That's right.
I got to do more than that.
It put me to the ground, five yards to the pickup.
Brown Again on second down.
There you go.
through to a first down there is what will break your heart because you just about can't stop.
Watch how low to the ground he gets and you pick up six or seven like that.
That's hard to stop.
The stoppage of play on the field charge timeout.
they're taking a breather.
It's a timeout that's about to expire.
Yeah yeah.
right now, they could be in trouble.
that they want to rest their guys give them like that basketball break.
We got to take a quick time out here and we got to reset.
That's right.
And you've got three timeouts, 130 left.
you want to get one up here.
and kind of how they got here of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities.
They're the reason one champions first ever undefeated season.
ever in the program history.
finals, a better six the last seven years.
They did reach the finals back in 2017. for their first ever state championship.
just like I said about Perry last night, there will be a lot of people in Douglas, Georgia.
I can guarantee you that first ever one.
No question, and another first ranked number one in the state for the first time.
So with what a job champion down in the state of Florida putting his stamp on this program very early on, first and ten now so close.
Robinson in motion keeper for hands.
and one watching Brown Nice job there Azaria Jones to bring down the quarterback second down man they just get here comes brown here comes brown.
they hit you with a quarterback keeper and hardly moves the chains.
But quick snap now Brown on second down puts his home hands out try to block for Brown not much there for Brown but he pops right back up again and a time out again this time good charge time out of the half see they'll have one left.
and let's look on the other side now by Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and developmental Disabilities.
tonight at the Georgia Dome and that team, that was amazing.
They beat Tucker in that championship.
ever finals appearance.
they won four the last six region titles.
coming out of this program.
Chiefs star was one of the many a twin.
His twin brothers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
they both were on that 2013 team.
at that point to the Chiefs.
both went to Tennessee, I believe.
Yep.
Yep.
a great job.
Yeah, tremendous job there.
back that went on to Purdue was star of that game and carried them past Tucker on that night.
run track they won the state championship.
There you go.
here.
Got him completed to McCall.
ball goes out of bounds.
But he is already down.
to move the chains.
knocking on the door again how devastating would that be before got him to bite just enough first down they sneak Patrick McCall and he hits him for a big game.
Brown working his way in.
Of course the fans from Coffey, they think he got in.
right on the doorstep And this time it's Creekside calling a timeout trying to say some clock want to give him time on the field Is this a runner short of the goal line?
so they will review it.
This is what is here for an up top.
Let's see if his knee is down here.
He's on top of a defender.
but I believe his knee was already down.
See if we're right.
in the class two championship.
County, but they called the play.
They called the runner short.
they saw the backside that actually he did that look with the ball.
Oh, that looks closer.
of his other the other side of Yeah.
thing but that lives close because he is and he is the ball moves up.
not a touchdown, zeros getting the ball.
Yeah I think that's a safe bet.
You don't have to.
don't mean you can stop line.
He's got a little smile.
checking himself out on the big screen.
He.
He's a little weak.
Yeah, he's good.
He is as advertised.
it is determined that the runner and did break the goal line.
It is a touchdown.
Here you go.
And there it is.
Touchdown!
Copy.
Fred Brown.
Yeah.
Watch the last push right here.
but you go see seven's underneath him.
He's still up.
Look his knees.
He's still up.
He's going for a touchdown.
lying on top of the defender's legs.
Yeah.
Great call.
And this is why we have replay save.
Great effort.
you see his numbers early on right here.
said, he's just getting started at the end to the extra trying and up and good 21 nothing the Trojans.
in the first half did something man.
They got all the momentum.
They got a huge side behind them.
they're taking it to Creekside upfront.
Yeah, Yeah.
That's just the bottom line.
Yeah, they're they've been in control to your point, all the way through good mix, you know, Brown gets a touchdown lead 3 to 3 passing for 44 yards.
but boy when they do and it's really keeping the Seminoles off balance.
Kelly on the catch there and slow to get up.
Chris Reed, great job.
for Coffey 65 yards.
65 yards, 66 yards.
My goodness.
For example, the first done in this first half.
that's the way they're playing right now.
It's a that's a commanding 21 point lead.
A lot of football left.
You know.
Listen, Chris.
Yes, they can score with anybody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've got time.
with all of you on defense.
little to not they've had success run.
I'm an interested if they say listen we got to settle we've got to be a two run football.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh timeout freak side.
That's their second charge.
Time out of the half creek sides passing numbers.
I think took to Kelly that was underneath to your point I think.
Yeah.
You know you tell me what you think.
just a guy just watching the game.
trying to take the top off.
Let's go more as we talk more underneath.
Give me something here to some rub root.
He's like that.
Let's get these guys off.
Our receivers a little bit.
Yep.
kind of that football mentality.
Guy.
We're going to take some shots, right?
So let's make an adjustment.
Yeah, yeah.
Get.
Get the ball in the and let's let them do something.
So don't release them.
Terrell off the line of scrimmage.
Yeah.
a little bit, you know.
I mean.
Yeah.
All right.
So first and ten from the 1134 seconds.
That's Kelly in motion to the left.
Barry Kenny get it?
Something to him.
and more still out of state.
Nice job.
Out of bounds.
But that kind of play.
you got to do after the catch and he makes it positive yards a little curl route to the ball able to make a guy miss stop the clock and move the chains 22 yards in the pickup.
play of the night.
Both completions to Kelly Barry against the deep nice catch there Good job by Dylan DICKERSON to hang on and another first down clock stomps yard line remaining going up top again.
and it's a catch again.
in a row at Hancock so so what do they find here.
Number five, we're going to try to go with a good job and coming back to your receiver.
Great throw.
And catch, man.
getting your feet down.
at number five for Coffey.
Down to 8 seconds now trying to get on the board before halftime Berry going deep he's got a man there but nice job of defensively that's Anthony Park was waiting on him he put the seatbelt on put the clamp down right with the play clock to one second please.
Okay zero replay right there it is.
Perfect.
Play on the ball, man.
That was boy, he was there waiting on it.
Took his time.
Saw it the whole time.
skills.
Right there.
You see it, Pace.
It didn't panic, didn't try to pick it off.
Knocked the ball out of bounds.
you can see the defensive.
three defensive backs beyond the 20 up top, trying to get it to DICKERSON.
The defense was there incomplete pass and that's the way we end this first half.
What a performance by the Coffey Trojans.
crowd right here from Douglas, Georgia.
Now they've traveled well, very good contingent.
Thousands of fans waving their towels, seeing their team up as we looked forward to halftime.
Now 21, nothing short of for the coaches interview brought to you your original neighborhood pizzeria.
And that's enough.
Let's go down to Nicky.
he told your guys, Go be who you are.
Defensive, shut out, You're up by 21. to bring that state title home to Coffey?
penalties on offense that's killed us.
A few drives.
defense.
but we didn't break make some plays.
we don't play a lot of zone right there.
why we're getting people space and play.
ask them to play any harder.
They're playing their guts out.
and we got a long way to go.
They're a good football team.
and came back and won.
I mean, it's also kind of stop with the media timeouts and that this game brings for you.
that?
Good.
we actually practice that.
and so we built that in.
It's more frustrating at times, a great job with it.
until we get done with drives and stuff.
I'll be honest.
But it was got to keep playing.
you think you got here tonight?
There's a lot up there.
I don't know but I'm sure appreciative of them.
Good luck in the second half.

just a football.
a little bit bigger, let's just go out there and be who to get us to the finish line.
Absolutely.
How did these extra days of prep to get ready for that guy over there?
Yeah, I mean, it was it was a tall task.
Think they're averaging 80 points and so you it was a lot to get ready for.
really allowed us just to kind of soak up being in this game, it'd be easy to be playing for your state title and you got to play on Friday.
to just enjoy the moment, on enjoying the moment our work has been huge for us.
where we get to sit down with both of you.
Coaches live here.
this week and how have you been preparing?
that's gotten better throughout the year.
I mean, week after week.
I think they've kind of found a little bit you know, really shown quarterbacks played extremely that we've seen all year long.
really it's a pretty good ones.
they just continue to elevate their play, you know, and get stops when they need to.
versus two great opponents and just, you know, we're ready for the challenge.
because, you know, and then in the state championship, in what they do.
tape to get you ready for them?
I think we're very similar teams, and do some best on best in practice, and who they are and who they're about.
at some key positions.
us, we've been able to emulate what we've seen on film and hopefully, our prep will pay off some good deal.
Well There's no home field advantage.

That's the difference in the game.
a better job of taking those plays.
A lot of that correctly.
the job right now is to win Game 15?
You know, had adversity all year.
we have had adversity.
kind of used to being in this spot.
one play at a time and make one play every time we get a chance to make it.
I know.
you guys.
Right.
All right, Larry, back to you.
Question about that.
They want to try to finish this thing off, half highlights, look, you very impressed on both sides of the ball defensively.
Coffey set the tone up front.
tried not to move the chains, the quarterback, that keeper.
He's hurt him a couple of times.
Next thing you know, eight burns.
this was the play of the half right here.
Money shot for a touchdown.
Great.
Call him fourth down.
Yeah.
And then the replay coming in here.
they did a replay and found he never touched 21 nothing on this.
presented by Brady Pest Management, of high school football.
And you can see the numbers right there.
but Coffey really holding dominating the staff board as well.
rushing for Creekside, 48 you know, time of possession.
and that stays the same way in the second Coffey is going to be the state champion.
no panic.
that?
Yeah.
You got a half to go.
Knock them out.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
like you said, they because this is a team that as we talked season all the way through.
And so it has been they're are nowhere close to being done.
here, a lot of seniors, a long time.
They've been all over.
since they went to California high school team in America.
That's right.
the second half brought you by.
Buckle up.
getting that off and running again.
deferring to the second half and they're making it happen here.
and going all the way down line, 45 yards on the return Coach Dixon wasn't concerned at all.
There's a lot of time on the clock.
You've got two full quarters to play.
you want to kick this thing off if you're.
we talked about him in the opening.
He's an explosive playmaker.
Both sides no panic.
you, is very calm in the locker room.
and what a great start for Creekside dope in the second half.
you got the confidence knowing in the country, modern California.
Right?
So you've eaten all other comers to keep that streak alive.
he's got Darrell in motion.
there toward the end of the first half.
the tempo doesn't matter of the second half 49 yards get on the board and change two plays Touchdown Creekside No panic.
Nope, nope.
Zero panic even on a chip ball right here.
Good job by the Coffey Defender.
your way at Creekside.
Makes him pay open and drive.
Touchdown.
right now on the other sideline.
That's right 23rd career catch you see Kelly's numbers right there and good and rusty to your point but boy it feels like if you take another this was a pass play much more in control.
and a half from from Berry and from Creekside.
Yeah.
that a little bit more sometimes.
You got to get a break, man.
to happen to you.
It doesn't matter.
It was six points.
Ball just goes your way right there.
What an answer.
kickoff return.
play from that part of the field play front for a touchdown.
Yep.
Good.
38th touchdown on the year for that young man.
So Creekside shut outs in the first half 19 seconds in the Great Return kick return by Travis Terrell and now they've got the momentum very quickly here at the start Dennis feels a lot like wait a minute.
we've got a game on our hands right here.
See how Coffey answers?
See the adjustment on Creekside defensive sides Got the man playing.
Kick us down to the ten.
Take it from there.
That's Paul Anthony Park on the return.
Let's go down to Nicky Noto Palmer to, you know, at the half, here's in that chapter 15, if you will, he said, and each week has been a chapter.
but it's simply do the job.
He said.
Robins.
the job.
You heard him at the half.
We faced adversity.
I mean, scoring in that first is exactly what he was hoping to do.
Absolutely.
Take that momentum that on the defensive side.
trying to stop Coffey first and ten big Fred Brown gets the ball still is down there's a whistle and it's it's just every play is a battle Yeah with long game look at Brown over 2300 yards rushing this season and as Rusty mentioned he gets stronger as the game goes on so boy he's got great lateral put this for if he did to me he'd feed it to me.
Watch him make a move right here.
A little jump cut.
Yeah.
Get his legs, man.
It's deceptive lateral quickness.
Yep.
That's what the cardinal told me.
Yeah.
Underrated athleticism.
Third and two hands.
and he gets the first down on the dive, because they got a tackle right there.
If they don't, it might be 28 to 7.
That comes up a little bit campy.
if hurt him with that keeper, he keeps it defensive being crash and what happened there tripped over the the blue line.
Got it That's right Brown again on first down Just a gain of one second down and ninth Trojans offense you look your your security down Fred Brown goes right side and then somehow pass the 50 and the crowd reacting to his moves in the open field.
You know you don't see a lot of times at the end seeking contact.
to hit somebody.
Watch this.
my goodness.
I watch this.
I want some more.
I'm not done.
He could have gone out of bounds, man.
That's too far.
Electrocuted that defender they did Brown peeling off of him.
As you can see here.
That is.
You got to get him.
He got to get a little bit there.
But he's you, man.
somebody want to finish a run.
He had no thoughts of going out of bounds.
No.
Who else want some?
Yeah, smaller back but Walter Payton, ask arm You had Hitchens.
for him Brown sweetness I don't think so.
in that carry by Fred Brown nicely done by Tyrese and Coffey is finished in runs right now it doesn't matter if it's brown contact the physicality Brown sitting out for two plays back in now for this third and one Trojans trying to answer Creekside from scrimmage of this second half keeper by hands Lead first down that's their play third and short side's got to make an adjustment to that.
he had to stay and crashed seven crashed it was a first down 46 Now.
Good job right there.
Nice.
Nice play by That's what you got to have more out of these interior defensive linemen you see big Bam Williams six looking to beat that double team Whoa Oh he said no, sir.
Great job.
Split the double team loss of two on the play McCall in motion short game brings up third down and about eight.
you're third and seven.
get out of this thing right here.
that maybe you'll get points out of it.
seven to open up the second half.
The clock is running.
in the third quarter the way these teams especially Coffey This thing ticks off pretty quick.
Coffey Very successful yes, four of nine yeah, but outstanding.
Their execution It's Brown again.
what a job there by Major Lavelle to bring down Brown that about seven he's going to get this but you got to have more than one.
You got to be there.
for Creekside Gang tackling.
Got to be there and that's a great job.
The force, this field goal setting up at the 30 is going to be a 40 yard attempt with Jacoby Goolsby and it's good.
Nice job the 40 yarder 643 Excellent play excuse me on that 40 yarder by Saylor and so Coffey answers with the field goal can the Seminoles answer back.

Maybe to get back.
He had him stack for just a second.

being chased by Williams completes gets it to Henderson again out of the pocket immediate pressure blocking this front for Coffey coming back across the route for a seven yard, eight yard gain.

You got to have a stop.
right there.
He understands how big a play that was.
These kids are giving it everything.
They got.
What a play, man.
regardless of what happened right here.
little different ending.
But what a play by Shane Kelly.
and what he has meant to this Creekside offense pump takes it there about the eights back finally he's brought down and that's not going to call anything there they could have they did not that ball because that little play Yeah they felt like they've they've been fair game outcome on the field.

it stopped one way or the other.
play clock down to ten.
and he won't make it to Creekside and now they call timeout second one the time of the half side that's Creekside star Jefferson correction out of the half the job there by number 30 and big boy roll right there Dylan Blakeley Blakeney steps in and has to eight with everything on the line and you get to get one.
You got to square up.
Fred Brown That's right.
That's not easy to do right.
they're going to get the football back That's right.
Nice job.
624 on the clock.
their timeouts here to preserve this clock with 615 or so 620 at the time and get a couple of scores.
here in the second half.
that at the end of the third quarter almost 85 yards on the incomplete pass on fourth down.
That's an empty, empty possession.
there, it's a much different ball game.
You're going for the lead now?
Yep.
But that was then.
This is now the fourth down kick going up.
Smith on the punch fair by Damien Henderson.
will take over a chance to cut a little further 22 yards 32 yards correction on the punt out of the Creekside.
They know the sideline.
Yeah.
Know it's now or never.
Yep.
for a lot of those seniors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not now or never.
It's now and forever.
Exactly what a season for Creekside 13 and one and Coach Dixon never panics coming out of the locker room half his team down 21 nothing at halftime Coffey was impressive in the get their first ever state title on first down and his ball boy and he knew it Boy, he had one more.
He was sitting on that route.
all the way across the hash.
He stared it down and Hancock just misses a chance to seal it for Coffey hit him in the wrong place?
Yep.
if you win or lose, on the bus on the way home.
That's right.
Second down now, Berry escapes the.
Rush has time goes into traffic and incomplete to Paul and brings up a third and ten because of the play went so long in the same area.
Yeah, that brought with it defenders.
No one there who could make a play on it.
Basically a jump ball.
Yeah.
Good thing is for Creekside.
Clock has stopped at 602 for down territory the rest of the way.
See if they come back to that loss slant.
They went quads last time in the league.
It was 19 on a slant.
Anderson, one of his favorite.
Nice job there by Kelly.
It's just about 12 yards on the pickup.
they stop the clock to move the chains.
They tried to run back Bam but it was picked up and then Kelly comes in behind him.
Good ball there.
Yeah.
Good read Same formation here Excited to pick up a little bit need to scores Henson Berry buys himself some time.
It's okay.
Stop the clock going with this.
Going with this formation is quiet.
releases on these wide receivers.
Not a bad play.
and live for the next.
Mercedes-Benz and we can really feel that we get closer to crowning another champion.
Kriegstein says, Hey, we're still in this.
Hang on.
A lot of time left and a half to go second and eight.
the scramble by Berry Look at throw again from the defender who slides down so the clock will continue to run 520 and counting.
A nice job though by the Coffey defense.
they kind of locked on all of his options.
The best job was Berry getting down.
Yes.
Coffey was about to lay wood on him.
It's great job to lose that here.
I don't know what the spot is.
but it's short so they'll go third and one under 5 minutes to go.
Berry your sidearm, throw trying to get it to Henderson.
Damien DICKERSON Look at it here look at Paul 25 feet up to the inside.
Forces him out of the pocket.
This guy, the rest of his guys are coming.
Paul is not the biggest deal.
but man he comes every play strong so another must have play for Creekside fourth and one.
This place is loud.
It is.
This place is loud and heard say he made it Travis Terrell gains about and that'll be a first down you've got to go down you've got to go.
or nothing.
You have got to score right?
It's got to be quick.
Get the play called and go.
Berry trying to set his receivers three split on the right, two on the left clock has stopped though for 19 in case you've just tuned in this to class a no taking on that man's team coach Dixon Mo Dixon 13 and one only one versus two.
Game one, right.
Number one versus number two.
only the 29th.
Constitution began keeping the rankings, compiling them back in 1982, buried from behind his hits.
That's it.
Second down play was second and ten.
Lorenzo Harvey, another name big and look at his hands right there.
You want to see some picture perfect.
come off the ball and get Caleb Holmes with that pressure.
What a rush.
the most.
Wow.
for Vinson Berry under pressure again.
Probably going to be a whole lot of flag down flag is down all the way back here at the I want you to watch Harvey fly and I want you to watch his first move, and which is slap down.
Slapped his hands right off of it.
perfect pass rush by that defensive end.
That was brilliant.
It just neutralized him.
Well, tall.
But you want to do that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't care if you're 65. you're beat.
That's right.
That's right.
So now comes the walk off correction holding against the offense penalty replay fourth down and three playing third down.
Right?
Yeah.
Should be third down on third down.
Kirk correction third down area.
Okay.
corrected him when he gave up here championship game he'll be back for the seven just a little bit here again, Milton versus Walton in that one.
that is their second chance.
supported it's third and 27.
Don't give up anything crazy.
and get him to the ground.

That's right.
331 left here in the five championship.
And still to come here on Gp-B, tilt of this fantastic week.
taking on the Raiders of Walton at 14 class seven a championship coming up and the on the call there for GPB I know there were a few minutes but trust us it'll be worth the wait.

Coffee, fourth and 34.
Creekside has to get to the 32 yard line of coffee.
McCrary comes in, four receivers deep picked off and who got it?
But Jaden Hancock, who had a interception in his hands a few plays ago, dropped it.
It was a pick six.
He dropped it right now.
But Hancock made up for it.
I love that he went down.
Yeah, he went down.

It is it is next level allowing an average per game, less than a touchdown per game.
everybody talks about them.
The stats.
when they beat Cass 30 to nothing.
all year and Carson scored any time and I knew right then they had different dudes on defense.
It's been impressive.
Hats off to Greek side.
