♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪ >> Ron: "FOOTBALL FRIDAYS" IN GEORGIA PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HAWAII SAFETY REMINDING YOU, HEADS UP, GEORGIA, PARK YOUR PHONE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.

IT SAVES LIVES.

WE WELCOME YOU TO LEGENDARY GEORGE MALOFF STADIUM IN ATLANTA FOR THE 59th RENEWAL OF THE FISH BOWL RIVALRY AS NUMBER ONE RANKED AND 6-0 MARIST WAR EAGLES TAKE ON THE 6-1 ST. PIUS X GOLDEN LIONS.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M MATT STEWART JOINED BY FORMER AUBURN TIGERS ALL-AMERICAN NFL FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK WAYNE GANDY.

WAYNE, ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT MARIST STARTS AND ENDS WITH THEIR HEAD COACH ALAN CHADWICK.

NOW IN HIS 40th SEASON.

THAT'S 4-0.

HEAD COACH OF THE WAR EAGLES.

437 VICTORIES, 41 AWAY FROM BECOMING THE ALL-TIME WINNINGEST COACH IN STATE HISTORY.

>> Wayne: FROM EIGHT TRACKS TO TIKTOK.

COACH CHADWICK STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.

HAS BECOME THE STANDARD OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL.

HE IS THE GUY WHO HAS ESTABLISHED WHAT MARIST FOOTBALL WILL BE TODAY AND FOREVER.

WHAT WE LEGEND WE GET TO WATCH TONIGHT ON THE SIDELINE.

>> Ron: THE TEAM, THE STYLE OF PLAY.

THEIR THREE YEAR STARTER AT QUARTERBACK, JACK YORK.

>> Wayne: WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN THE GAME.

HE PLAYS ON THE OUTSIDE.

HE IS EXPLOSIVE.

HE WILL HAVE TO BE CLEAN WHEN HE DOES DECIDE TO THROW THE BALL AGAINST THIS TOUGH DEFENSE OF ST. PIUS.

>> Matt: A BIG CHALLENGE FOR ST. PIUS TONIGHT.

THEY HAVE LOST FOUR IN A ROW.

AND SEVEN OF THE LAST EIGHT IN THE SERIES.

BUT THEY ARE OFF TO A GOOD START THIS SEASON.

6-1.

A NICE BOUNCEBACK THIS YEAR AFTER GOING 3-8 A YEAR AGO.

THEY HAVE 35 SENIORS ON THE ROSTER FOR CHOED CHAD GARRISON'S TEAM LED BY THEIR STARTING QUARTERBACK COLIN CROSBY.

>> Wayne: HE HAS THE "IT" FACTOR IN A TOUGH OPTION QUARTERBACK.

WILLING TO RUN BETWEEN THE TACKLES.

TONIGHT HIS DECISION-MAKING ON THE EDGE, FLIPPING OR TAKING THE BALL IS KEY TO SUCCESS AGAINST THIS MARIST DEFENSE THAT ONLY GIVES UP FOUR AND A HALF POINTS GAME.

>> Matt: THAT'S MIND BOGGLING.

DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL, THEIR LEADER GOT GREAT SIZE.

HE JUST NEEDS TO A LITTLE BIT MORE WEIGHT BEFORE HE IS A BIG-TIME PROSPECT.

>> Wayne: 6'5", 200 POUNDS, ATHLETIC.

A TIMP OWE SETTER FOR THE DEFENSE.

HIS ABILITY TO MAKE TACKLES AND SET THE EDGE AGAINST THIS OPTION IS KEY FOR THEM TO HAVE SUCCESS.

HE HAS TO HAVE A BIG NIGHT.

>> Matt: IT'S THE ST. PIUS GOLDEN LIONS AND THE MARIST WAR EAGLES.

THEY CALL IT THE FISH BOWL AND WE ARE READY TO JUMP IN THE TANK WITH THEM.

LET'S SEND IT OFF TO JON NELSON.

>> Jon: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MATT.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING HOWEVER YOU ARE ACCESSING US.

YOU CAN'T LOOK ANY FURTHER THAN SOMEONE LIKE ALAN CHADWICK IN THAT 39th/HOth SEASON, ON CAMPUS WHEN DEAN HARGIS WAS HEAD COACH.

A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF IT.

IT IS EATING AND LEAVING AT THE SAME TIME, TALKING TO SPECIAL TEAMS, GETTING IT THEM FIRED UP AS A PART OF PREGAME.

IT IS HAVING HIS ENTIRE ROSTER AROUND HIM SO HE CAN HAVE THAT ONE MOMENT WITH THEM WHERE IT IS RARE BUT HE RAISES HIS VOICE.

THEN AND ONLY THEN.

IF HE RAISES HIS VOICE IN GAME, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

TO THIS DAY IF ALAN CHADWICK HAS TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM THE ANKLE OF HIS QUARTERBACK TO THE STANCE OF HIS A BACK, HE HAS THE SEVEN FOOT MOSES STAFF.

TWO YARDS AND A FOOT.

HE CAN DROP THAT MOSES STAFF IN BETWEEN AND IT BETTER HIT NOTHING BUT GROUND BECAUSE THEN YOU KNOW THE PACING IS PERFECT.

HE DID HAVE TO ADJUST IT WHEN HIS A BACK WAS A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE HANDOFF BY ONE FOOT.

SO RITUAL DOES EQUAL SUCCESS WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MARIST.

TRADITIONALLY, I SEND IT TO HANNAH.

BUT TONIGHT I AM GOING TO SEND IT TO MYSELF AND ASK MYSELF WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON TONIGHT.

SO, JON, YES, WHAT IS GOING ON TONIGHT?

WELL, WE WILL TAKE A TOUR.

IT'S NOT JUST THIS GAME.

ON THE WEB AT GPB.ORG/SPORTS OUR WEB GAME AND THE SPORTS APP NORTH ATLANTA AND NORTH VER EXCITED.

WE WILL TAKE THE TOUR AROUND THE STATE AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

WE HAVE GOT OUR POLL QUESTION FOR YOU.

THE QR CODE ON THE SCREEN COMING UP AND VOTE.

WHO IS GOING TO WIN TONIGHT?

MARIST OR ST. PIUS HERE AT GMs.

IT'S PART OF A STORYLINE.

AT THE BREAK, YOU WILL JOIN ME AT THE HALF.

MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER, TAKE THE TOUR, AND CATCHING UP WITH THE FRIENDS THE A ST. PIUS.

AND REMEMBER VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S TIME FOR, THANK YOU, BEN, THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON.

MATT AND WAYNE, BUST OUT THE FLEECE.

HERE WE GO.

>> Matt: INDEED.

SPECTACULAR FRIDAY NIGHT HERE IN OCTOBER FOR THE FISH BOWL RIVALRY GAME.

AND THE MARIST DEFENSE, YOU MENTIONED IT, FOUR AND A HALF POINTS PER GAME.

THE NUMBERS ARE MIND BOGGLING.

THEY ARE GIVING UP 42 1/2 YARDS RUSHING PER GAME, GIVING UP 129 1/2 YARDS TOTAL PER GAME AND LESS THAN SIX FIRST DOWNS AND THEIR DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR IS JEFF EUART.

JACK'S DAD.

>> Wayne: THREE SHUTOUTS ON THE SEASON AS WELL.

IT THIS DEFENSE FLIES AROUND.

IT'S A BUNCH OF GREAT TACKLERS.

THEY PLAY WITH THAT DEMEANOR WITH COACHELLA CHADWICK.

THEY PLAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

THAT'S BEEN THEIR SUCCESS.

>> Matt: OUTSIDE OF THE RIVALRY GAME ASPECT OF TONIGHT'S CONTEST IT'S A HUGE REGION FIVE SOMEHOWION.

MARIST WON 24 CONSECUTIVE REGION GAMES, FOUR STRAIGHT REGION TITLES.

AND THIS IS FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE REGIONAL.

CAN'T CLINCH THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP TONIGHT, BUT CERTAINLY YOU WILL HAVE THE INSIDE TRACK WHOEVER WINS THIS GAME THIS EVENING.

MARIST WON THE OPENING TOSS.

THEY DEFERRED TO THE SECOND HALF.

WE WILL SEE ST. PIUS ON OFFENSE TO START.

THE OPENING KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY HEADS-UP GEORGIA.

PARK YOUR PHONE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING.

IT SAVES LIVES.

DREW LINNIHAN HAS IT READY TO QUICK OFF.

ANOTHER BOOMING KICK BY LINNIHAN.

THAT MAKES 34 OUT OF HIS 42 KICKS THIS YEAR, WAYNE, HAVE BEEN TOUCHBACKS.

>> Wayne: A TRUE WEAPON FOR THIS TEAM.

NO RETURNS.

HE IS A STRONG LEG.

HE GIVES THEM THAT CONFIDENCE IN THIS GAME THAT THEY CAN KICK FIELD GOALS.

WHEN YOU RUN THE BALL, PLAY DEFENSE, YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO KICK FIELD GOAL.

>> Matt: IMPACT PLAYERS.

>> Wayne: ST. PIUS, JOHN TAYLOR, THE BIG PHYSICAL FULLBACK IN THE MIDDLE, SETTING UP AND TRYING TO SET THE EDGE.

AND DEXTER MOSLEY, THE A BACK ON THE EDGE, EXPLOSION WITH VISION.

ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE MAX MRAZ.

AND THE SIZE, HE HAS TO CONTROL THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND KEEP HIS FEET TONIGHT.

>> Matt: FIRST HANDOFF TO KANDILAKIS.

HE GETS GO FOUR YARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: BOTH TEAMS COMFORTABLE PLAYING EACH OTHER.

VERY SELDOM DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO PRACTICE WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING AN OPTION TEAM AND NOT HAVE TO PUT A TEAM FOR PRACTICE TOGETHER.

THESE TEAMS, THEY KINDS OF RUN THE BASIC OFFENSES OF THE SAME WITH A LITTLE DIFFERENT NUANCES TO CHANGE IT UP.

THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL IS TRYING TO DO.

THAT IS WIN FIRST DOWN.

>> Matt: IT WON'T BE STRAIGHT TRIPLE OPTION.

THAT FIRST SNAP WAS MORE WING T THAN TRIPLE OPTION.

YOU WILL SEE ALL THOSE ELEMENTS.

YOU WILL EVEN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SPREAD.

SO SECOND DOWN AND SIX.

KANDILAKIS GETS IT AGAIN.

KANDILAKIS GOING TO GET DRIVEN OUT OF BOUNDS BY MRAZ AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT ST. PIUS ON OFFENSE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS BANK.

LUSE, DAVEY, NELSON IN THE RIGHT TACKLE POSITION.

THE BACKS AND RECEIVERS, MOSLEY, FRANCOIS, TAYLOR, ADAMS AND BENJAMSON IS THE TIGHT END.

THE LEADING RECEIVER ADAMS, FIVE CATCHES ON THE YEAR.

>> Wayne: NEW TEAMS DROP BACK AND THROW THE BALL LOT.

THESE CORNERS DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE, CAN'T FALL ASLEEP.

LOOKING IN THE BACKFIELD WHEN THEY RUN THE BALL.

RIGHT HERE, THIRD AND LONG.

THIS IS WHAT MARIST TRIES TO SET YOU UP.

THEY HAVE TO GET OFF THE FIELD ON THESE DOWNS.

>> Matt: AND HANDOFF TO THE FULLBACK, AND FOSTER, OR TAYLOR, PARDON ME, UP TO THE 50 YARD LINE.

BOUNCED OFF A MAN STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.

WENT FOR 22 YARDS.

>> Wayne: THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE AGGRESSIVE DOWNHILL PHYSICAL RUNNING THAT JOHN TAYLOR BRINGS.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

SIX FEET, 240.

RUNNING THROUGH THE TACKLES RIGHT HERE.

THE BIG FELLA RUMBLING, COVERING THE BALL.

LOOKING TO PUNISH SOMEONE AS HE GOES DOWN THE FIELD.

>> Matt: THAT'S A MAN'S RUN RIGHT THERE.

>> Wayne: YEAH, JOHN RIGGINS TYPE RUN.

>> Matt: THAT WAS A RIGGLE RUN THERE BY JOHN TAYLOR.

FIRST AND TEN FOR THE GOLDEN LIONS.

KEEPER BY CROSBY.

THIS TIME HE IS GOING TO GET DROPPED FOR A LOSS.

THAT WAS GARRICK MAKING THE TACKLE.

WE LOOK AT THE WAR EAGLES ON DEFENSE BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS BANK, COX, NOLTE, HAVEN AND RICHARDSON.

MRAZ, GORDON, GARRICK WHO MADE THE LAST TACKLE, AND IN THE SECONDARY CALLAGHAN, LASCO, RICE AND GAYNES.

THAT PLAY.

THEY DID NOT LOSE YARDAGE ON SO IT'S GOING TO BE SECONDARY DOWN AND NINE.

>> Wayne: AND FIRST DOWN, KEY FOR MARIST, THAT'S WHAT MADE THEM SO SUCCESSFUL.

BEING READY TO FORCE SECOND AND THIRD AND LONG.

DOWN.

JUST THAT DOWN WINNING FIRST >> Matt: KEEPER.

NICE READ BY THE DEFENSE AS THE MIKE LINEBACKER NORTON MAKES THE TACKLE.

A LOSS ON THAT PLAY.

THEY TOOK THE PITCH MAN AND MADE THE QUARTERBACK EAT IT.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB STRINGING THAT OUT.

MAKING CROSBY HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION OUT ON THE EDGE.

RALLYING TO THE FOOTBALL.

KEY WHEN YOU PLAY IT THIS KIND OF DEFENSE.

NORTON AND THAT MIKE LINEBACKER POSITION JUST DEVELOPING INTO A NICE YOUNG FROM SAFETY TO MIKE KIND OF LINEBACKER.

HE HAS SEEN THAT PLAY IN PRACTICE A LOT RIGHT THERE.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND TEN.

THAT'S THE INTERESTING THING.

YOU BROUGHT IT UP ALREADY.

TYPICALLY THE TEAMS GET THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE AND LACK OF PREPARATION.

THAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE TONIGHT.

CROSBY WANTING TO THROW, AND HE FIRST DOWN.

DOES, AND IT IS CAUGHT FOR A AT THE 38 YARD LINE.

THE RARE PASS COMPLETION.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB ROLLING OUT.

WE SAW THIS IN WARMUP.

ONE OF THE PLAYS THEY LIKE TO TRY TO GET TO THE EDGE WITH THE OUT ROUTE.

THIS TIME COMING BACK INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD TO PATEL SEWELL, THE WIDE RECEIVER.

DON'T THROW THE BALL A LOT, BUT VERY EFFICIENT ON THE SEASON, HAS COLIN CROSBY.

SIX TOUCHDOWNS, ONLY ONE INTERCEPTION.

>> Matt: 6'1", PEYTON SOLE WITH THE CATCH.

A SECOND FIRST DOWN FOR ST. PIUS ON THIS DRIVE.WELL WITH THE CATCH.

A SECOND FIRST DOWN FOR ST. PIUS ON THIS DRIVE.

MOSLEY PICKS UP A COUPLE.

>> Wayne: DEXTER MOSLEY, THE YOUNG JUNIOR PART OF THAT EXPLOSIVE.

JOHN TAYLOR BRINGS YOU THE THUNDER.

DUBOSE AND MOSLEY BRING YOU THE LIGHTNING.

THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO GET HIM THE BALL EARLY AND OUT ON THE EDGE.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE ALREADY EATEN UP FOUR MINUTES IN THIS GAME.

>> Wayne: YEAH, ABOUT TWO, THREE POSSESSIONS A HALF.

BOTH TEAMS ARE VERY AWARE OF HOW THIS KIND OF GAME GOES.

>> Matt: YOU WILL SEE NONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS HAVE BIG STATS.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY PLAY SO MANY PLAYERS.

INSIDE HAND-OFF TO MOSLEY.

SLIPS OUT OF A TACKLE.

CHANGES DIRECTION.

LINE.

DIVES FORWARD TO THE 32 YARD GOOD JOB OF BEING ELUSIVE BY DEXTER MOSLEY THERE.

>> Wayne: SHOWING YOU THE TACKLE.

BALANCE HERE, GETTING OUT OF THE JACK RICHARDSON, HAVING A BRILLIANT YEAR OUT ON THE EDGE FOR MARIST.

NICE JOB THERE OF DEXTER MOSLEY ABLE TO THROW THOSE SHOULDERS LOOSE AND GET BACK UP FIELD FOR THE POSITIVE RUN.

>> Matt: NOAH GARRETT MADE THAT TACKLE.

THEY HAVE MORE BASEBALL COMMITS THAN THEY HAVE FOOTBALL COMMITS ON THEIR FOOTBALL TEAM.

DIVE PLAY BLOWN UP BY MRAZ.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY MRAZ GETTING INTO THE WEDGE THERE.

TAKING ON THE BIGGER MRAZ.

ONLY LISTED AT 166.

TAKING ON JOHN TAYLOR.

HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY WITH GREAT LEVERAGE NOW HERE ON FOURTH DOWN.

YOU EXPECT THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT.

THIS IS THE KIND OF GAME THEY HAVE TO MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES.

POSSESSIONS ARE KEY.

YOU RUN THE BALL THE WAY THEY DO, FOURTH AND SHORT IS SOMETHING THEY FACED ALL SEASON LONG AND FEEL CONFIDENT DOING.

>> Matt: FOURTH DOWN AND THREE.

THIS IS THE TENTH PLAY OF THE DRIVE.

THEY CHEWED UP NEARLY 5:30 ON THIS OPENING DRIVE AND A TIME-OUT'S GOING TO BE CALLED BY ST. PIUS.

WE WILL TAKE IT.

A BIG FOURTH AND THREE ON THE BACK.

TIME TO CATCH UP WITH OUR FRIENDS AT ST. PIUS.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TODD MOONEY.

A GREAT FRIEND TO "FOOTBALL FRIDAYS" ALL SUN.

FRIDAY /á SEASON.

>> YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC.

WE APPRECIATE CIGNA AND EVERYTHING GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING DOES FOR THE GAME OF FOOTBALL IN OUR STATE AND ALL ATHLETICS.

>> Matt: THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT HOST.

$1,500 DONATION FROM CIGNA TO OUR FRIENDS AT ST. PIUS.

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO BE HERE TODAY.

ONE OF OUR RARE VISITS TO LEGENDARY GEORGE MALOFF STADIUM.

>> Wayne: ONLY HAD TO DRIVE FOUR MILES.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> Matt: A LITTLE BIT CLOSER THAN SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS FRIDAY NIGHT VENUES.

THERE IS JACK GARRISON, FOURTH SEASON AS THE HEAD COACH OF THE GOLDEN LIONS.

A LONG THREE.

KEEPER BY CROSBY.

SLUNG FORWARD.

HE WILL BE CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN.

THE TACKLE MAY HAVE FLUNG HIM FORWARD FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

>> Wayne: BIG PICK UP RIGHT THERE BY CROSBY.

GOOD DECISIONMAKER.

AS HIS COACH TALKED ABOUT, COACH GARRISON, OF THE BIG KEYS FOR HIM, BEING ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS HERE.

PULLING THE BALL, GETTING TO THE EDGE.

RIGHT THERE ON THE TACKLE, AS YOU CAN SEE, BROUGHT DOWN BY JACKSON COX.

KIND OF GOT SLUNG FORWARD FOR THAT EXTRA YARD AND A HALF.

>> Matt: THAT IS THREE FIRST DOWNS FOR THE GOLDEN LIONS ON THIS OPENING DRIVE.

REMEMBER, MARIST GIVES UP LESS THAN SIX FIRST DOWNS A GAME.

>> Wayne: THIS IS A TEAM IN ST. PIUS THAT GETS GEARED UP TO PLAY MARIST.

COACH CHADWICK TALKED ABOUT ST. PIUS COMES IN, THEY USUALLY PLAY THEIR BEST BALL.

WE TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO GET GOING.

GOOD TO SEE HIM UP ON HIS FEET RIGHT THERE.

HAVEN, THEY HAVE TO HAVE HIM.

HE IS THE SIZE, THE DISRUPTOR INSIDE.

HAS AN OFFER AT ARKANSAS STATE.

6'2", 265, A JUNIOR.

>> Matt: AS FAR AS FOOTBALL OFFERS, HE IS THEIR BIGGEST FOOTBALL PROSPECT.

HE IS THE ONLY FOOTBALL PLAYER ON THE MARIST SIDE THAT HAS AN FBS OFFER.

>> Wayne: TRANSFERRED IN.

PICKED UP THE DEFENSE.

AND HE HAS BEEN A DISRUPTIVE FORCE INSIDE.

>> Matt: HE WALKS OFF THE FIELD.

SO IT'S FIRST AND TEN FOR THE GOLDEN LIONS.

FROM THE 28 YARD LINE.

HANDOFF TO MOSLEY ON THE SWEEP.

GETS OUT OF THE TACKLE OF RICHARDSON.

WILL NOT ESCAPE THE WAR EAGLES THERE.

>> Wayne: THIS THIS IS THE SPEED THAT HE POSSESSES TO BE ABLE TO BOUNCE OUT AND GET INTO THAT PLAY.

NO, HE DID NOT MAKE THE TACKLE HERE.

WATCH HOW 80 GETS A HAND AND PULL ON DEXTER MOSLEY UNTIL HIS TEAMMATES GET THERE TO GET HIM DOWN.

NICE JOB BY NUMBER 80.

>> Matt: JACK RICHERSON, AS WE ARE WATCHING THE MLB PLAYOFFS THIS WEEK, YOU MIGHT SEE HIM IN THE MAJORS ONE DAY.

NUMBER ONE RATED THIRD BASEMAN IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

NUMBER 13 THIRD BASEMAN IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR 2026.

CROSBY.

THE PASS BATTED DOWN BY COX.

JACKSON COX, THEIR STRONG TACKLE, GOT HIS HANDS UP IN THE AIR AND KNOCKED DOWN THAT PASS, AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB ON THE BACK END OF THE DEFENSE.

NOWHERE TO GO.

PRESSURE COMING INSIDE FROM NORTON.

JACK RICHERSON BRINGING PRESSURE FROM BEHIND AS WELL.

YOU LIKE TO SEE COLIN CROSBY NOT TAKE THAT HIT.

>> Matt: THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN THIS GAME OUTSIDE OF THE TIME-OUT THAT WAS CALLED THAT WE'VE HAD A STOPPAGE OF THE CLOCK.

AN INCOMPLETE PASS.

NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER TIME-OUT COMING UP.

>> Referee: SECOND CHARGED TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

>> Matt: ST. PIUS CALLS TIME-OUT WITH A THIRD AND TEN COMING UP.

WE WILL HAVE IT FOR YOU WHEN WE GET BACK.

.

>> Matt: WELCOME BACK TO ST. PIUS FOR A BIG THIRD DOWN COMING UP ON A THIRD AND TEN.

IT IS A MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE.

IT'S NOT JUST MARIST AND ST. PIUS FOR THE 59th TIME.

NORTH ATLANTA AND NORTH VER EXCITED.

FIRST QUARTER, NO SCORE IN THAT ONE.

SET UP YOUR DEVICES.

MAKE IT A MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE ALL EVENING LONG.

A BIG NIGHT IN REGION PLAY.

THANK YOU.

THIRD DOWN AND TEN.

THEY FACE THIS ALREADY IN THIS DRIVE, WAYNE.

AND THEY CONVERTED ON A THIRD DOWN AND TEN.

>> Wayne: THEY ARE ON THE CUSP OF FIELD GOAL RANGE.

LIPSCOMB AS WELL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE TEN YARDS.

YOU WANT A POSITIVE PLAY TO KEEP THE DECISION OF FOURTH DOWN.

>> Matt: CROSBY FOLLOWS DeBOSE INTO THE HOLE AS IF THEY WERE SETTING UP FOR THE FIELD GOAL.

>> Wayne: DEFINITELY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO GET IT IN POSITION.

A ROLLOUT, GAVE HISSELF UP.

THEY SEND OUT IVAN LIPSCOMB TO TRY THIS 43-YARD FIELD GOAL.

>> Matt: HE IS 2 FOR 3 ON THE SEASON WITH A LONG OF 37.

THIS IS 44.

ALMOST AS IF THEY WERE POSITIONING FOR THE FIELD GOAL.

LIKE YOU WOULD SEE A TEAM DO AT THE END OF THE GAME.

GOOD LOOK AT IT RIGHT THERE.

KICK IS BLOCKED!

CONNOR CROSBY, THE HOLDER AVOIDED A SCOOP OPPORTUNITY THERE FROM MARIST.

BUT MARIST GETS THE BLOCK AND NO POINTS FOR ST. PIUS ON THIS OPENING DRIVE.

>> Wayne: BIG-TIME MISTAKE UPFRONT IN PROTECTION THERE.

CHARLIE NELSON, THE RIGHT TACKLE, NOT GETTING IT IN THAT GAP, AND LETTING NOAH GARRICK GET IN FOR A QUICK BLOCK.

CAME IN UNTOUCHED.

NO CHANCE TO GET THAT BALL KICKED OFF.

>> Matt: NOAH GERRICK GETS THE BLOCK.

SO NOW MARIST ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

7:30 INTO THE GAME, IT OPENS WITH A PASS.

GREAT PURSUIT BY THE GOLDEN LIONS AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR IMPACT PLAYERS BROUGHT TO YOU BY -- >> Wayne: BRAYDEN LIEU HE, WHAT AN EXPLOSIVE BACK.

NOAH GERRICK, WE SAW THE BLOCKED FIELD GOAL.

POWERFUL LINEBACKER.

TENACIOUS ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSIVELY FOR ST. PIUS THEY NEED THE LINEBACKERS.

FEET ON THE EDGE.

GREAT TACKLING.

PLAYING THAT CORNER POSITION AS WELL AS ANYONE.

THEIR BEST MAN-TO-MAN CORNER.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND NINE.

THE PITCH GOES TO LUSE AND LUSE IS DRAGGED DOWN BY CAYDEN DeBOSE.EWIS AND LEWIS IS DRAGGED DOWN BY CAYDEN DeBOSE.

>> Wayne: TO GET OUT ON THE EDGE, A LITTLE PITCH.

YOU CAN SEE DeBOSE RIGHT THERE ALMOST TOOK THE SNAP.

THIS YOUNG MAN HAS HAD A GREAT DNIPRO.

AGGRESSIVE DOWNHILL GAP FILLER, 5'8", 180.

UP THERE LIKE A WHEEL LINEBACKER, BUT MORE LIKE A CORNER WHEN YOU LOOK AT HIS SIZE.

BUT WHAT TENACIOUSNESS HE PLAYS WITH.

>> Matt: BALL OF FIRE IS WHAT CHAD GARRISON DESCRIBED HIM AS.

PLAYS WITH A TON OF EMOTION.

THIRD DOWN AND TEN FOR MARIST.

EUART.

DeBOSE MAKES THE TACKLE.

NOW FOURTH DOWN AND ABOUT A YARD AND A HALF.

WE WILL SEE IF THEY GO FOR IT.

>> Wayne: NICE THROW AND CATCH RIGHT HERE.

GOOD ROUTE.

A LITTLE FLAT ROUTE TO THE EDGE.

DeBOSE.

GOOD CONCENTRATION THERE BY EXCUSE ME, BRAYDEN LEWIS.

GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH OR AT LEAST LINING UP.

>> Matt: FOURTH DOWN AND TWO.

MARIST LINES UP TO IF FOR IT.

BIG EARLY TEST FOR BOTH THESE TEAMS.

EUART KEEPS IT.

EUART GETS THE FIRST DOWN.

WHAT A GUTSY PLAY.

FOURTH DOWN ON YOUR OWN IN AND YOU PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.

WE LOOK AT MARIST ON OFFENSE.

ONLY ONE STARTER BACK ON THAT OFFENSIVE LINE.

THAT'S AUSTIN SPERRY.

AN OFFER FROM SUWANEE.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE BACKS AND RECEIVERS, LEWIS, GAYNES, HAR TELL, BATEMON BERGEY.

LEWIS HAD A BONE BRUISE ON HIS KNEE.

COMMITTED TO WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, D THREE PROGRAM IN ST. LOUIS.

THEY MISSED HIS EXPLOSIVENESS.

WINNING.

NOT THAT IT KEPT THEM FROM EUART ON THE KEEPER.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB.

>> Matt: DOWN TO 47.

>> Wayne: QUICK DECISION.

SOON AS HE SEIZE THE GAP, NOT THE BIGGEST OF QUARTERBACKS, BUT THAT TOUGH GRITTINESS THERE, PUTTING A FOOT IN THE GROUND AND GOING TO GET THE FIVE YARDS.

>> Matt: HE IS A STAR SHORTSTOP FOR THE WAR EAGLES.

HE IS COMMITTED TO PLAY BASEBALL FOR THE WOFFORD TERRIERS.

THEY HAVE 3-4 MARIST PLAYERS ON THAT TEAM THAT MADE IT TO THE REGIONALS LAST YEAR.

SECOND DOWN.

PITCH.

TO GAYNES.

AND GAYNES TO THE 43 YARD LINE.

AND WE MIGHT HAVE A FACEMASK RIGHT HERE.

THAT WAS SHIN ULT WHO MADE THE TACKLE.

MIGHT HAVE GOT A PIECE OF THE FACEMASK.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB EXECUTING, GETTING THE BALL OUT ON THE EDGE.

YOU COULD SEE JUST AT THE END THE FACEMASK BEING PULLED DOWN THERE.

TRACE GAYNES.

>> Referee: PERSONAL FOUL, FACEMASK ON THE DEFENSE.

15-YARD PENALTY FROM THE END OF THE RUN.

FIRST DOWN.

>> Wayne: NUMBER 10 COMING FROM THAT SAFETY ROVER POSITION.

BIG PENALTY.

NICE JOB RIGHT THERE.

>> Matt: COULD HAVE CALLED FACEMASK ON THE RUNNING BACK, TOO.

THEY DON'T USUALLY DO THAT.

>> Wayne: RUNNING BACKS ALMOST HAVE TO TAKE YOUR HELMET OFF FOR THEM TO GIVE THAT CALL.

THEY ACTUALLY CAN HIT THE FACEMASK OF THE DEFENDER REAL QUICK.

>> Matt: LONG AS THEY DON'T GRAB IT.

>> Wayne: YES.

>> Matt: FIRST AND TEN.

EUART RUNNING TO THE FAR SIDE.

AND EUART GOING TO GET CORRALLED BY NAVARRO, THE MIKE LINEBACKER.

TAKE A LOOK AT ST. PIUS ON DEFENSE BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS BANK.

KLEIN, TAYLOR, VAN NORT UPFRONT.

LOVE, NAVARRO, DeBOSE.

YOU ALREADY SEEN HIM WITH AN IMPACT TONIGHT.

INGRAM.

TAYLOR IS THEIR HIGHEST RATED PROSPECT.

DE-COMMITTED FROM THE EAGLES BUT HAS OFFERS FROM COASTAL CAROLINA AND NEW MEXICO.

SECOND DOWN.

ACTUALLY LOST A YARD ON THAT PLAY.

>> Wayne: SHOWING A LITTLE EAGLES.

SPREAD HERE ARE THE MARIST WAR >> Matt: LEWIS DIVES FORWARD TO THE 22 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: CHADWICK SAID THEIR WING T TRIPLE OPTION WITH A COUPLE OF WRINKLES, RIGHT THERE LINING UP IN THE SHOTGUN IS JACK EUART.

GIVING THE LOOK ON TRIP SETS OUT ON THE ENG THERE.

STILL HAVE HIM RUNNING THE BALL.

BALL.

SO MANY WAYS THEY CAN RUN THE JUST HARD TO DEFEND WHEN YOU SEE THIS GROUP OF BACKS AND THIS QUARTERBACK.

>> Matt: WE HAVE THIS HAD TWO POSSESSIONS.

NOW WE ONLY HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

HANDOFF TO LEWIS.

SEES A HOLE AND RUNS THROUGH IT.

INSIDE THE 20 YARD LINE.

AND DOWN TO THE 18.

IT'S GOING TO BRING UP FOURTH DOWN AND ABOUT A YARD.

>> Wayne: BIG HOLE OVER HERE ON LEFT SIDE.

GOOD BLOCKING BY SPERRY OVER THERE AT THE LEFT GUARD.

THE FULLBACK THERE.

NICE JOB.

>> Matt: NOW MARIST IS GOING TO TRY TO A FIELD GOAL.

>> Wayne: BOTH TEAMS AND COACHES CONFIDENT IN THEIR KICK GAME.

>> Matt: LINNIHAN IS 4 FOR 5 ON THE SEASON.

HE IS GOING TO LINE IT UP 35-YARD KICK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

KICK IS ON ITS WAY, AND THE KICK IS GOOD.

A 35-YARD FIELD GOAL BY DREW LINNIHAN, THE SENIOR GIVES MARIST THE 3-0 LEAD.

>> Wayne: LINNIHAN HANDLES PUNTS AND KICK-OFFS AND FIELD GOALS.

GOOD JOB RIGHT HERE.

GOOD BLOCKING PROTECTION UPFRONT.

50-YARD RANGE.

BIG LEG RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER OF THE GOALPOST.

>> Matt: LENIHAN, HIS FIFTH FIELD GOAL MAKE OF THE SEASON.

>> Wayne: WHAT A WEAPON HE HAS BECOME FOR HIS TEAM.

FEEL CONFIDENT 45, 50 YARDS, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.

THE WAY HE KICKS THE BALL OFF.

>> Matt: THERE IS YOUR GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN SCORING DRIVE.

TEN PLAYS, 45 YARDS, 4:15 TIME OF POSSESSION.

SO WE HAVE HAD TWO FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS HERE IN THE 11:50 OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

ONE WAS BLOCKED.

ONE WAS MADE.

>> Wayne: AND BOTH COACHES YOU COULD TELL THEY KNOW THAT THIS GAME ONLY WILL BE THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE OPPORTUNITIES.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET POINTS EACH AND EVERY TIME.

>> Matt: YEAH, AT THIS RATE YOU ARE GOING TO GET FOUR POSSESSIONS IN THE GAME.

>> Wayne: UNHEARD OF IN TODAY'S FOOTBALL WHERE WE THROW THE BALL AROUND THE FIELD ALL DAY.

>> Matt: ANOTHER BOMB OFF THE FOOT OF LINNIHAN.

YARD LINE.

ST. PIUS BRINGS IT OUT TO THE 20 OPPORTUNITIES.

AND YOU JUST CAN'T MISS SCORING >> Wayne: YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A KICKING GAME.

WHENEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE STYLE, YOUR MINDSET IS DEFENSE AND RUN THE BALL.

KICK SOMETHING A PREMIUM.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE GREAT EXECUTION IN THAT PHASE OF THE GAME AS WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN MARIST GETTING A BLOCK ON THEIR FIELD GOAL.

>> Matt: SO COLIN CROSBY LEADS THE OFFENSE BACK OUT.

HE IS A SCHOOL LEADER HERE AT ST. PIUS.

CO-PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL, AS YOU MENTIONED.

HAS THE "IT" FACTOR.

HAS BEEN A LEADER SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

ANOTHER NICE RUN BY JOHN TAYLOR, ROLLING OVER BODIES.

>> Wayne: ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

RUNNING BEHIND HIS PADS.

BIG LEGS.

KEEPING THEM DRIVING.

ABSORBING THE HIT HERE.

BALANCE.

THE FIRST QUARTER.

>> Referee: THAT'S THE END OF >> Matt: PHENOMENAL RUN.

ONE OF THE BETTER SIX-YARD RUNS THAT YOU WILL SEE BY JOHN TAYLOR.

END OF THE FIRST QUARTER AT ST. PIUS.

MARIST ON TOP 3-0.

>>> "FOOTBALL FRIDAYS" ON GPB IS BROUGHT YOU TO IN PART BY DBHDD AND THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.

.

>> Matt: 59th ALL TIME MEETING IN THE FISH BOWL RIVALRY GAME.

MARIST LEADS THE SERIES 37-18-3.

THEY HAVE WON FOUR STRAIGHT, SEVEN OF THE LAST EIGHT.

LAST YEAR WON 17-0.

LAST TIME THEY PLAYED HERE THOUGH IT WAS A 30-27 GAME THAT THE WAR EAGLES WINNING BY A FIELD GOAL.

>> Wayne: AND IMAGINE COACH CHADWICK HAS BEEN PART OF 49 OF THOSE 59 GAMES.

SOMETHING TELLS ME HE IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS SCHOOL.

>> Matt: AS A HEAD COACH HE IS 32-6 AGAINST ST. PIUS.

>> Wayne: WHICH MEANS HE HAS THEIR NUMBER AS WELL WHEN YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF DOMINANCE.

FIRST QUARTER, TWO FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS.

NOW ST. PIUS BACK ON THE MARCH.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND FOUR AS WE START THE SECOND QUARTER.

TAYLOR AGAIN DIVING OVER THE PILE, CLOSE TO A FIRST DOWN AT THE 29.

>> Wayne: JOHN TAYLOR SOMETHING THEY WANT TO ESTABLISH IN THE MIDDLE.

HAD GOOD SUCCESS.

WANT TO WEAR YOU DOWN WITH HIS SIZE.

PLAYS D-LINE, SO HE HAS THAT AGGRESSIVENESS YOU WANT IN THAT POSITION.

ALWAYS FALLING FORWARD.

ALWAYS TRYING TO GRAB THAT EXTRA YARD.

>> Matt: HE IS THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF SAFETY HUDSON TAYLOR.

COACH CHAD GARRISON SAYS HE REMINDS HIM A LOT OF FORMER GOLDEN LION STAR FULLBACK COLE MOON.

THIRD DOWN AND ONE.

GIVES IT AGAIN.

ANOTHER KEEPER AND THE BALL POPS OUT.

I THINK ST. PIUS RECOVERED FOR A FIRST DOWN.

>> Wayne: COLIN CROSBY RIGHT THERE DECIDING TO PULL THE BALL HERE AS HE GOES UP FIELD.

HAS A HOLD ON THAT BALL.

NICE JOB OF PULLING IT OUT THERE BY OWEN RICE.

STRONG SAFETY UP IN THE BOX.

FORTUNATE FOR ST. PIUS TO GET THAT BALL.

JOHN TAYLOR GETTING ON IT.

>> Matt: I BELIEVE THAT MAKES FOUR FIRST DOWNS NOW FOR ST. PIUS IN THIS GAME.

>> Wayne: YOU RUN THIS KIND OF SCHEME, THIS IS SOMETHING THEY CAN CONSISTENTLY DO.

THEY JUST TRY TO WEAR YOU OUT.

>> Matt: KEEPER BY CROSBY.

AND CROSBY IS GOING TO GET ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB.

COLIN CROSBY, 175.

HE IS A TEMPO SETTER.

COACH GARRISON TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GUYS RALLY BEHIND HIM, AS DOES ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT YOU LIKE TO SEE QUARTERBACKS DO.

>> Matt: CROSBY SIX CARRIES, 15 YARDS.

MOSLEY WITH THE FIRST DOWN AND MORE.

DEXTER MOSLEY TO THE 43 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB.

DEXTER MOSLEY FINALLY GETTING TO EDGE RIGHT HERE.

GOOD BLOCKING.

GOOD BLOCK THERE BY NOAH FOWLER ON THE KICK-OUT.

THEN IT'S ABOUT DETERMINATION AND GRIT BY MOSLEY.

BREAKING TACKLES, THROWING STIFF ARMS, MAKING YARDS.

>> Matt: MOSLEY, 242 RUSHING ON THE SEASON, AVERAGING 7.1 YARDS PER CARRY.

ALSO THE NUMBER TWO QUARTERBACK ON THIS TEAM.

TAYLOR GETS STOPPED RIGHT AWAY THAT TIME.

NORDEN, THE MIKE LINEBACKER, WAS THERE TO GRAB HIM.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB THERE, JUDE NORDEN.

UNDERSIZED.

WE HAVE SEEN HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES.

HE FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET TAYLOR DOWN.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET DOWN ON THOSE LEGS.

CAN'T TAKE HIM UP IN THOSE SHOULDER REGIONS.

GET HIM DOWN.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET IN HIS LEGS TO >> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND TEN.

BALL AT THE 43.

ST. PIUS HAS DOMINATED TIME OF POSSESSION.

A NUMBER OF PLAYS SO FAR IN THIS GAME, BUT THEY TRAIL 3-0.

BALL IS DROPPED, AND CROSBY PICKS IT UP.

TAKES THE PUNISHMENT.

HE SAVED A TURNOVER RIGHT THERE.

>> Wayne: LATE DECISION RIGHT HERE ON THIS HANDOFF.

AS YOU CAN SEE, TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO CAYDEN DeBOSE.

DeBOSE NOT TAKING THE BALL.

NICE HEADY JOB THERE BY CROSBY.

YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE DeBOSE TRYING TO HAND IT OFF.

DID NOT TAKE THE BALL.

CROSBY SEES IT ON THE GROUND.

FORTUNATE FOR ST. PIUS THAT HE GOT ON IT.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND TEN.

>> Wayne: EXECUTION IS SO BIG WHEN YOU RUN TRIPLE OPTION.

SEEMS LIKE IT'S A SIMPLE SCHEME, BUT IT'S HARD.

EVERYONE HAS TO KNOW THE DIRECTION THEY ARE GOING.

>> Referee: TIME-OUT ST. PIUS.

THIRD AND FINAL TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

>> Matt: WOW.

WITH 8:00 LEFT IN THE FIRST HALF, THEY USE ALL THEIR .

>>> "FOOTBALL FRIDAYS" IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY CIGNA HEALTH CARE.

PROUD PARTNER OF GEORGIA PUBLIC FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA.

CIGNA HEALTH CARE ACE MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND VITALITY OF THOSE WE SERVE.

CIGNA.COM TO LEARN HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL BEING.

>> Matt: 4:00 INTO THE SECOND QUARTER, MARIST ON TOP OF ST. PIUS 3-0.

LET'S LOOK AT THE GOLDEN LIONS TEAM RESUMÉ.

STATE CHAMPIONS ONCE.

THAT'S BACK IN 1968 IN THE LEGENDARY COACH GEORGE MALOOF.

THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS 18 STRAIGHT SEASONS.

OF THIS IS THE 67th YEAR OF FOOTBALL FOR ST. PIUS.

JUST SO MANY INTERTWINING STRINGS CONNECTING THESE TWO PROGRAMS.

THIRD DOWN AND TEN.

CROSBY, HEAVY RUSH.

QUARTERBACK SACK BACK AT THE 46 YARD LINE BY JUDE NORDEN.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY RIGHT THERE OF SEEING THE BALL AND GOING AND GET IT BY JUDE NORDEN, THE JUNIOR, MIDDLE LINEBACKER HERE.

LITTLE ROLLOUT.

NOTHING DOWN THE FIELD.

LATE DOG RIGHT THERE BY 31.

NICE JOB OF TACKLING RIGHT THERE.

GOOD JOB ON THE BACK END.

JUST TWO MEN ROUTES.

NOWHERE TO GO WITH THE BALL THERE.

NORDEN MAKING A BIG FOR THE DEFENSE.

>> Matt: SECOND SACK OF THE SEASON FOR NORDEN.

A PUNTING SITUATION.

LOW SNAP.

AND THEY BOOT IT OUT OF THERE.

STEVIE MALOOF AT THE 16 YARD LINE AND KICK INSIDE THE 10 AND ROLL DEAD AT THE BOX.

IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SCORE, AT LEAST BE ABLE TO FLIP THE FIELD.

THIS GETS INTO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO HERE.

OF COURSE, THEY WANT TO SCORE.

NEXT BEST THING IS GIVE YOUR DEFENSE A GREAT ADVANTAGEOUS SITUATION AND THAT'S MARIST STARTING AT THEIR 5 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: GREAT PUNT RIGHT THERE.

GREAT COVERAGE.

KEEP THEM DEEP.

NOW THE DEFENSE HAS TO STEP UP.

THEY HAVE THE WHOLE -- THIS MARIST OFFENSE, GAVE GIF THIS TEAM A CHANCE.

YOU START THAT FIELD POSITION FOOTBALL THE ST. PIUS DEFENSE NEEDS TO STEP UP RIGHT HERE.

>> Matt: EUART 3 OF 7 RUSHING.

2 FOR 2 PASSING FOR NINE YARDS AS THEY START IN THE SHADOW OF THEIR OWN GOALPOST.

EUART GETS ABOUT SEVEN YARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: BOTH QUARTERBACKS A GOOD JOB OF PUTTING THEIR FOOT DOWN.

GETTING OUT ON THE EDGE.

ONCE THEY MAKE THAT DECISION, WICK DECISION THERE, EXPLOSION UPFIELD BY EUART.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT HIM.

THAT SPEED, THAT TOUGHNESS YOU WANT.

>> Matt: LEADING RUSHER, 431 YARDS ON THE SEASON, AVERAGING JUST UNDER 72 YARDS RUSHING PER GAME.

TOUGH, GRITTY.

COACH CHADWICK SAYS HIS TEAMMATES WILL DO ANYTHING, WOULD DIE FOR HIM.

FIRST DOWN CARRY FOR THE WAR EAGLES AS THEY PUSH IT OUT TO THE 23 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: GERRICK OUT ON THE EDGE.

SHOWING YOU THE SPEED RIGHT THERE THAT HE POSSESSES.

WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LINEBACKER SPOT.

GOOD JOB OF GETTING TO THE EDGE.

RUNNING SQUARE.

GETTING THOSE SHOULDERS.

BEGGING FOR A FACEMASK.

NOT THE BIGGEST OF FULLBACKS, BUT DEFINITELY RUNS AS THOUGH HE IS ABOUT 230 POUNDS.

>> Matt: 202 YARDS RUSHING ON THE SEASON.

AVERAGES OVER 10 YARDS PER CARRY.

ALREADY HAD A BIG GAME ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL TONIGHT.

MAN SHAKEN UP ON THE PLAY FOR MARIST, WAS THEIR STARTING RIGHT TACKLE BRADY BARRY, WHO COMES OFF THE FIELD.

SO FIRST AND TEN FROM THE 22.

>> Wayne: TAKING A LONG LOOK AT THE DEFENSE HERE, IS EUART.

>> Matt: FAKES THE PITCH.

HE GETS DROPPED BY NAVARRO.

>> Wayne: NAVARRO WITH THE BIG HIT.

CAYDEN DeBOSE IN THERE AS WELL.

GOOD JOB SCRAPING OUT TO THE EDGE BY BOTH OF THOSE BACKERS.

THEY ARE ON THE SIDES, BUT THEY ARE FAST.

GREAT TACKLES.

>> Matt: INTERESTING STORY WITH NAVARRO.

THREE GAMES INTO THE SEASON THE COACHES CALL HIM INTO THE OFFICE SAY, LOOK, YOU ARE NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE A CHANGE AT MIKE LINEBACKER.

SINCE THEN.

HE HAS BEEN A DIFFERENT PLAYER >> Wayne: AND SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT YOUNG PLAYERS NEED, THAT CONSISTENT FEELING THAT THEIR JOB ISN'T THEIR JOB.

THEY GOT TO KEEP GOING OUT EVERY WEEK AND PROVING THEMSELVES.

NICE JOB THERE RUNNING BEHIND HIS PADS.

PICKING UP THAT FIRST DOWN.

SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM BACK.

>> Matt: NAVARRO IS A SENIOR.

THAT HAS TO BE A SOBERING CONVERSATION.

YOU THINK I GOT THIS.

THEN THE COACHES CALL YOU IN AND SAY, NO, YOU DON'T.

>> Wayne: WHENEVER YOU GET CALLED IN AND DON'T ALREADY KNOW WHY YOU ARE GETTING CALLED IN IS A SCARY MOMENT.

TYPICALLY, WHEN YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, YOU KNOW WHY THE COACH CALLED YOU IN, RIGHT, THERE TO GET THAT SPEECH, FIRED THAT YOUNG MAN UP.

>> Matt: CAYDEN DeBOSE DROPS EUART FOR A BIG LOSS.

>> Wayne: WE TALKED ABOUT THIS YOUNG MAN HAVING AN OUTSTANDING SENIOR YEAR.

DOWN IN THE BOX.

ONLY 1890 POUNDS.

BUT GREAT OUT ON THE EDGE.

GET IN THOSE GAPS.

HE CAN SEE IT.

INSTINCTS.

HE IS NOT AFRAID TO SHOOT THE GAP ON YOU AND MAKE PLAY.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND 11.

ALMOST LIKE A SOCCER GAME.

THE CLOCK JUST DOESN'T STOP.

WE CAN JUST KEEP ROLLING.

PITCH GOES TO BRAYDEN LEWIS.

HE GOT HIT IN THE BACKFIELD.

NOW HE IS DROPPED.

TREMENDOUS PURSUIT RIGHT THERE.

WILL KLEIN IN ON THAT TACKLE FOR THE GOLDEN LIONS.

>> Wayne: GOOD JOB BY CARTER, NUMBER 7.

HOLDING THE EDGE, FORCING IT THAT PLAY BACK INSIDE.

WILL KLEIN CLEANS IT UP.

>> Matt: KLEIN, 21 TACKLES, SEVEN TFL, LEADS THE TEAM.

HERE IS A GUY THAT COACH CHAD GARRISON FEELS LIKE AT 6'5", 200 POUNDS POUNDS, IF HE GOES TO A COLLEGE, PUTS ON 40 POUNDS, COULD BE A REAL PLAYMAKER AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

>> Wayne: THE WAY HE GETS OFF PLAYS WITH.

BLOCKS, THE TOUGHNESS THAT HE >> Matt: EUART GOT A MAN OUT THERE, AND IT'S CAUGHT AT THE 41.

BIG HITTER GOES TO TRACE GAYNES.

>> Wayne: JUST GETTING LOST ON THE BACK END OF THE DEFENSE IS TRACE GAYNES.

A LITTLE LATE WITH THE PASS.

EUART.

HAVING TO ADJUST TO THE BALL.

GOOD JOB BY GAYNES WITH LEWIS BACK.

GAYNES PLAYS A LITTLE MORE SLOT.

YOU SEE HIM MORE IN THE PASS GAME.

BUT A GREAT JOB OF ADJUSTING TO THE PASS AND COMING UP WITH THE BIG PLAY.

>> Matt: 34-YARD PICKUP.

WE HAD AN INJURED PLAYER.

THAT'S WHY THEY WENT TO THE SIDELINE.

THAT'S OLEDIMEJI ADEKEYE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU NOTICE THAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE SETUP HERE AT GEORGE MALOFF STADIUM IS THAT THE GOLDEN LIONS ARE ON WHAT WOULD TYPICALLY BE THE VISITOR'S SIDE OF THE FIELD.

>> Wayne: DECIDED TO TAKE THE QUIET SIDE OF THE FIELD SO THEY CAN BE ABLE TO FOCUS AND COMMUNICATE A LITTLE EASIER.

SOMETHING THAT COACH GARRISON ACTUALLY LIKES BEING AWAY ON THE QUIET SIDE OF THE FIELD.

>> Matt: EUART RUNNING.

AND EUART TACKLED BY NAVARRO AT THE 25 YARD LINE.

DOWN FOR MARIST.

THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER FIRST >> Wayne: NICE JOB OF EUART RUNNING BEHIND HIS PADS, GETTING LOW HERE, AS HE GETS OUT ON THE EDGE.

THE QUARTERBACK RUN ALL THE WAY FOLLOWING HIS BLOCKERS THERE.

OFFENSE.

BIG FIRST DOWN FOR THIS MARIST >> Matt: EUART COMMITTED TO WOFFORD TO PLAY BASEBALL.

HE UNDERWENT LABRUM SURGERY IN THE SUMMER.

SLIGHT TEAR IN HIS LABRUM SWINGING THE BAT DURING BASEBALL SEASON.

AND HE IS NOT PICK UP THE FOOTBALL UNTIL THEIR WEEK OF THEIR SCRIMMAGE IN AUGUST AND START THROWING THE FOOTBALL.

COACH CHADWICK SAYS THAT PUT THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR SPREAD GAME BEHIND A LITTLE BIT.

HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO WORK WITH THE RECEIVERS AND GET THAT TIMING DOWN.

>> Wayne: SOMETHING THAT THEY PLAN ON EXPOUNDING UPON AS THE SEASON CONTINUES FOR THEM.

BUT HE IS VERY CAPABLE.

COACH CHADWICK IS VERY COMFORTABLE PUTTING HIM IN THE SPREAD OFFENSE AND LETTING HIM THROW THE BALL JUST TO CHANGE UP ON DEFENSES.

>> Matt: THIS IS THEIR ONE BACK SET.

THEY CALL IT THEIR EAGLE SET WITH BRAYDEN LEWIS.

THEY ARE GOING TO THROW THE BALL YARD LINE.

WESLEY INGHAM, NUMBER 5, MADE THE TACKLE A GOOD ONE IN OPEN SPACE.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER TIME-OUT CALLED.

>> Referee: TIME-OUT, MARIST.

FIRST CHARGED TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

>> Matt: SO MARIST CALLS A TIME-OUT.

WE ARE DOWN TO 1:15 TO PLAY.

THIRD DOWN AND SHORT COMING UP AFTER THIS.

.

>> Matt: WELCOME BACK TO ST. PIUS HALFTIME COMING UP AROUND THE CORNER FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW, IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT GOING ON PRESENTED BY OUR FRIENDS AT REGIONS BANK.

WE TAKE A TOUR AROUND THE STATE.

CATCH UP WITH FRIENDS FROM ST. PIUS.

THERE IS A LOT GOING ON.

TRUST ME.

IT'S COMING UP IN JUST ABOUT, OH, 78 SECONDS PLUS A COACH'S INTERVIEW.

BACK UPSTAIRS.

>> Jon: THANK YOU.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND TWO COMING UP.

MARIST ON TOP 3-0 ON THE LINNIHAN 35-YARD FIELD GOAL.

KEEPER BY EUART.

AND EUART'S GOT THE FIRST DOWN AT THE 11 YARD LINE.

PRIOR TO THAT CARRY, EUART WITH 77 TOTAL YARDS OF OFFENSE IN THIS GAME.

29 RUSHING AND 28 PASSING.

HE GETS FOUR RIGHT THERE.

THE CLOCK CONTINUES TO RUN.

MARIST HAS TWO TIME-OUTS REMAINING.

SO THEY CAN WALK THIS THING DOWN TO THE END ZONE OR SETTLE FOR ANOTHER FIELD GOAL.

>> Wayne: A GOOD JOB AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE RIGHT THERE.

CLEAN CORNER FOR EUART TO GET DOWNFIELD AND PICK UP THAT FIRST DOWN.

KEEPING THE CLOCK MOVING.

>> Matt: EUART AGAIN ON THE KEEPER.

EUART DOWN TO THE 9 YARD LINE.

TAYLOR MAKES THE TACKLE.

KLEIN WAS IN ON THE TACKLE AS WELL.

>> Wayne: CALLING ANOTHER TIME-OUT.

NICE JOB ONCE AGAIN.

EUART GETTING POSITIVE YARDS.

TAKING SOME BIG HITS.

THAT'S THAT TOUGH GRITTINESS THAT HIS COACH TALKED ABOUT.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT, 5'8", 170, 165, IN THAT RANGE.

>> Matt: LET'S LOOK AT THE MARIST WAR EAGLES' RESUMÉ.

GOT A CHANCE TO WIN THEIR FOUR STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS YEAR, THE LAST ONE CAME IN 2020.

THEY WENT 13-0 IN THE COVID YEAR.

13 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME APPEARANCES.

28 REGION TITLES.

THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS 41 STRAIGHT YEARS.

THIS IS THE 111th YEAR OF MARIST HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> Wayne: 41 STRAIGHT SEASONS IN THE PLAYOFFS.

OLD-SCHOOL COACH RUNNING A GREAT PROGRAM.

THAT IS ROUTINE.

HE TALKS ABOUT ROUTINE.

>> Matt: HE GETS ASKED ALL THE TIME WHEN HE IS GOING TO RETIRE.

HE SAYS, I DON'T HAVE ANY HOBBIES.

I WORK OUT.

I WORK IN THE YARD.

I GO SKIING IN THE WINTERTIME.

FOOTBALL IS MY HOBBY.

>> Wayne: CROSSES HIS MIND, AS HE TALKS ABOUT.

THIS IS HIS HOBBY, HIS LOVE.

THIS IS HIS PASSION.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN.

EUART PASSING, FIRING, OFF THE HANDS OF GAYNES ON A CROSSING ROUTE.

NAVARRO MIGHT HAVE GOT A PIECE OF IT.

NOW IT'S THIRD DOWN AND SEARCH.

>> Wayne: SHALLOW ROUTE BY GAYNES.

HE FELT 52 ON THIS PLAY.

WATCH HOW TYLER NAVARRO READING THE QUARTERBACK EYES, YOU COULD SEE TRACE GAYNES MAKING A BUSINESS DECISION RIGHT THERE, AS THEY SAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND SEVEN.

30 SECONDS TO PLAY HERE IN THE OPENING HALF.

>> Wayne: ONCE AGAIN, RUNNING OUT OF THE SHOTGUN.

STRAIGHT OFFENSE.

JUST TRYING TO CHANGE UP THE LOOK AGAINST THE ST. PIUS DEFENSE.

>> Matt: DUMP IT OUT TO LEWIS.

LEWIS TO THE END ZONE.

TOUCHDOWN MARIST!

>> Wayne: JUST A FLAIR ROUTE OUT ON THE EDGE.

GIVE THE BALL TO YOUR MOST EXPLOSIVE RUNNING BACK IN LEWIS.

REALLY TURNING ON THE SPEED HERE AT THE END.

WATCH THIS BLOCK HERE BY NOAH GERRICK, NUMBER 22.

THAT'S WHAT SPRINGS HIM TO THE END ZONE RIGHT THERE.

GERRICK WITH THE BLOCKED FIELD GOAL.

WITH A KEY BLOCK TO GET LEWIS INTO THE END ZONE.

>> Matt: LINNIHAN ON FOR THE P.A.T.

P.A.T.

EUART IS THE HOLDER.

SPLITS THE UPRIGHTS.

A 10-0 LEAD FOR THE WAR EAGLES.

>> Wayne: WORKING OUT OF THE SPREAD, A LITTLE SWING ROUTE TO THE OUTSIDE.

YOU COULD SEE THE JETS TURN ON THERE BY BRAYDEN LEWIS.

22, HIS RUNNING BACK MATE, KEY BLOCK, KICK-OUT RIGHT THERE BY NOAH GERRICK.

BEAUTIFUL DRIVE.

LONG DRIVE RIGHT THERE, EATING UP CLOCK AND, INC. >> Matt: LOOK AT THAT.

YOUR GOVERNOR A'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN SCORING DRIVE.

PRODIGIOUS 14-PLAY, 95-YARD DRIVE THAT TOOK UP 7:19.

>> Wayne: THE PATIENCE AND THE CONCENTRATION TO CONTINUE TO GO ON THOSE LONG DRIVES.

BOTH OF THESE TEAMS' POSSESSION.

MARIST PUNCHING IT INTO THE END ZONE TO TAKE A 10-0 LEAD.

>> Matt: LINNIHAN.

KICK GOES INTO THE END ZONE.

>> Wayne: I THINK ON THESE KICK-OFFS, MATT, WE WILL HAVE TO START TAKE THE OVER/UNDER.

SOME KIND OF PROP BET ON THESE.

LINNIHAN DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB KICKING THE BALL OFF.

THE RETURN MAN, YOU COULD SEE, THEY KNOW.

MOST LIKELY THE BALL IS GOING TO GO OVER THEIR HEAD.

>> Matt: IT'S SUCH AN INVALUABLE WEAPON HERE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME THAT WHEN YOU KICK THE BALL IN THE END ZONE, IT'S A DEAD BALL.

SO IF YOU GOT A GUY THAT CAN CONSISTENTLY PULL THE BALL IN THE END ZONE LIKE LINNIHAN CAN DO, HE MAKES EVERYBODY ELSE INVISIBLE.

21 OTHER PLAYERS ON THE FIELD ARE INVISIBLE.

>> Wayne: ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, THE BALL STILL COMES OUT AT THE 20, WHEREAS IN THAT SITUATION.

THE NFL IT GOES OUT TO THE 30 IN >> Matt: HANDOFF.

THAT'S DeBOSE.

HE GOT A COUPLE OF YARDS ON THE PLAY ON WHAT WAS LIKELY THE FINAL PLAY OF THE FIRST HALF.

>> Wayne: BOTH TEAMS SLUGGING AWAY, TRYING TO RUN THE BALL IN THE MIDDLE.

MARIST HAVING THE BIG PLAY RIGHT THERE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN AT THE END OF THAT LONG 95-YARD DRIVE.

>> Matt:TENO LEAD FOR MARIST.

A 35-YARD FIELD GOAL BY LINNIHAN AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF AND THEN A 95-YARD, SEVEN-MINUTE DRIVE END BEING A 9-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM EUART TO LEWIS.

THAT'S OUR SCORING IN THIS GAME.

TIME FOR OUR HALFTIME INTERVIEW BROUGHT TO YOU BY JOHNNY'S PIZZA.

>> Jon: THANK YOU.

LET'S SEE WHAT COACH CHADWICK HAS TO DELIVER.

A LOT OF FOLKS ARE THINKING, OKAY, WHAT DO YOU DO ON THE THIRD DOWN?

OUT LET ROUTE, SEVEN ON THE BOARD, GETS YOU TO TEN.

>> I THOUGHT BRAYDEN LEWIS A HECK OF A CATCH.

BOBBLED THAT BALL IN ONE HAND.

OVER HIS HEAD.

TAKE IT TO THE END ZONE.

WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB ON DEFENSE THE GETTING TOO MUCH YARDAGE ON FIRST DOWN.

WE GOT TO GET IT GOING INSIDE.

IT'S OBVIOUS THEY KNEW WE WOULD TRY TO HIT THE PERIMETER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SPEED.

THEY HAVE TAKEN THAT AWAY FOR THE MOST PART.

WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB.

>> Jon: THANK YOU, COACH.

THANKS FOR HANGING OUT.

WE MENTIONED THE SCOREBOARD.

CLINCH ERWIN, BIG MATCH IN SOUTH GEORGIA.

HOW TOUGH IS CLASS A DIVISION II?

HERE IS HIS ANSWER.

>> I THINK IT'S REALLY TOUGH.

I THINK IF YOU TAKE A FEW OF THE TEAMS LOOK AT OUR SCHEDULE AND A SOME OF THE TEAMS WE PLAYED, IT'S HARD TO COMPARE TEAMS AND SCHEDULES AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

YOU LOOK AT THE TEAM UP NORTH FROM US UP THERE, WE BEAT THEM.

THEY WON EVER SINCE THEN.

WE BEAT WORTH COUNTY.

WORTH COUNTY JUST COME OFF A BIG WIN WITH THOMASVILLE.

SO WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT THOSE THINGS AND YOU LOOK AT THE TEAMS THAT BROOKS HAS BEAT AND CLINCH HAS BEAT AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, THERE IS SOME REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAMS IN THIS CLASS.

I MEAN, IT IS -- IT'S NOT A -- WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT THOSE TOP SEVEN, EIGHT TEAMS IN THIS GROUP, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO SCHEDULE THOSE GUYS.

PROMISE YOU THAT.

AND NOW THE BIG LEG OF DREW LINNIHAN PUTTING MARIST ON THE BOARD.

3-0.

>> Matt: AND THEN THE IMPRESSIVE 95-YARD DRIVE THAT STARTED AT THE 5 YARD LINE, FINISHED WITH A 9-YARD PASS, EUART TO LEWIS.

>> Wayne: A LONG PHYSICAL DRIVE, FINALLY GETTING INTO THE END ZONE FOR OUR FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF THE NIGHT.

>> Matt: AND TIME FOR OUR COACH'S INTERVIEW.

.

>> Jon: THANK YOU.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE ST. PIUS SIDE HAS TO DELIVER HERE.

GETTING READY FOR THE SECOND HALF.

WHAT DID YOU TALK TO THEM ABOUT?

A TWO SCORE GAME.

IT'S JUST THOSE TWO MOMENTS THAT YOU CHANGE THINGS HERE FOR THE SECOND 24.

>> YOU ARE RIGHT.

I FELT LIKE WE MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY ON THE FIRST DRIVE TO GET POINTS THERE.

KUDOS TO THEM ON THE BLOCK.

OUR DEFENSE IS A BIG DRIVE OUT OF THE SECOND HALF, HAS TO MAKE SOME STOPS.

OUR OFFENSE HAS TO KEEP PLUGGING AWAY.

IT'S A GAME OF INCHES AGAINST MARIST.

KEEP EARNING INCH AFTER INCH AFTER INCH.

MAKE IT A ONE-SCORE GAME.

SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

>> Jon: THANK YOU.

THAT IS COACH GARRISON FOR ST. PIUS.

GETTING READY FOR THE SECOND 24.

MATT, GUESS AND WHAT?

I THINK IT WILL BE PHYSICAL IN THE TRENCHES.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

>> Matt: ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S THE WAY IN THE FIRST HALF.

EXPECT NOTHING BUT THE SAME IN THE SECOND HALF.

THE FIRST HALF STATS, WAYNE.

>> Wayne: RUSHING IS WHAT WE KNEW WE CAME IN THE GAME TO SEE.

MARIST ABLE TO DO SOME THINGS IN THE SPREAD OFFENSE THROWING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

BOTH TEAMS FEEL THAT PRESSURE.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN.

THEY ARE BUILT FOR THAT.

MARIST TOOK A CHANCE EARLY DOING IT ON THEIR SIDE OF THE FIELD.

AND I THINK COACH GARRISON WAS TRUE THIS FIRST DRIVE OF THE SECOND HALF IS GOING TO BE KEY.

>> Matt: IT WAS MARIST AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO AIR IT OUT.

REMEMBER THE BIG PASS FROM EUART TO GAYNES GAYNES, 34 YARDS FROM THEIR SIDE OF THE FIELD TO THE ST. PIUS SIDE OF THE 50 WHICH ULTIMATELY LED TO THE CONCLUSION OF THAT 95 KBRD TOUCHDOWN.

>> Wayne: AND THAT FUNCTION OF BEING ABLE TO AIR IT OUT IS EUART'S GROWTH IN HIS ARM.

HIS ARM GETTING BETTER.

TALKED ABOUT BEING HURT IN THE SPRING.

NOW THEY DEVELOP THAT SPREAD OFFENSE PART TO THROW THAT WRINKLE IT.

GREAT SUCCESS IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> Matt: SO ALREADY LEADING BY TWO SCORES.

FEELS LIKE THE TEN POINT LEAD IS LIKE 30-0.

JUST GIVEN HOW THIS GAME IS CONTRACTED BY THE BALL CONTROLLED OFFENSES.

A BIG PREMIUM ON ST. PIUS BEING ABLE TO GET A STOP AND KEEP MARIST FROM DRIVING THE FIELD WITH THIS OPENING THIRD QUARTER KICKOFF.

AND IT'S BROUGHT TO YOU BY HEADS UP GEORGIA.

PARK YOUR PHONE WHILE YOU DRIVE AND IT SAVES LIVES.

LIPSCOMB WITH THE KICKOFF.

AND HE GOING TO SEND IT INTO THE END ZONE.

THERE WILL THE NOT BE ANY RETURNS TONIGHT.

>> Wayne: YEAH.

I THINK THE RETURN MAN IS DEFINITELY STAYING FRESH FOR THEIR TEAM.

THIS DRIVE RIGHT HERE FOR THIS PIUS DEFENSE IS SO KEY.

IN THIS KIND OF GAME WHERE YOU ONLY PROBABLY GET TWO, THREE POSSESSIONS IN THIS HALF, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP YOUR OFFENSE AND THEIR ABILITY TO RUN THE BALL, YOU LET MARIST GO DOWN AND GET MORE POINTS.

NOW YOU START HAVING TO GET INTO A MODE THAT YOU REALLY ARE NOT BUILT FOR.

>> Matt: QUARTERBACK JACK EUART THE LEADING CANDIDATE RIGHT NOW FOR THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME.

32 YARDS RUSHING, 57 YARDS PASSING, 24 PLAYS, TWO DRIVES AND TWO SCORES.

LEWIS GETS THE BALL TO START THE SECOND HALF AND LEWIS PICKS UP ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN ON THE PLAY.

RICHERSON IN ON THAT TACKLE FOR THE GOLDEN LIONS.

>> Wayne: NICE BLOCKING.

BERGEY AND GAYNES, NUMBER 10, HARD RUNNING.

LEWIS AFTER BEING A LITTLE BANGED UP EARLY IN THE SEASON, REALLY SHOWING YOU EXPLOSIVENESS FOR THIS OFFENSE.

>> Matt: MY APOLOGIES.

THE OTHER NUMBER 80, GREG VAN ROTEN, MADE THAT TACKLE.

AFTER A SIX-YARD PICKUP BY LEWIS.

HANDOFF TO THE FULLBACK.

GAINS ABOUT TWO ON THE PLAY.

SETS UP THIRD DOWN AND SHORT.

>> Wayne: THE BIG PHYSICAL FULLBACK, CHRIS HAERTEL.

THESE ARE THE PERFECT SITUATIONS TO GET GOING IN THE SECOND HALF.

5'10", 220.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND TWO.

STONEWALLED BY VAN ROTEN.

DID NOT GET THE FIRST DOWN.

>> Wayne: GREAT JOB OF HOLDING THE EDGE THIS TIME.

GREG VAN ROTEN VAN NORT PULLING IT.

THAT TIME VAN NORT GETTING OFF THE BLOCK.

HIS BUS DROPOFF CAME, DeBOSE GETTING IN ON THE ACTION AS WELL.

>> Matt: THAT'S EXACTLY THE STOP I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT THE GOLDEN LIONS NEEDED TO GET.

SO ON FOURTH DOWN AND ONE THEY LINE UP TO PUNT.

LINNIHAN HAS ONLY PUNTLED FIVE TIMES AUTOMATIC SEASON.

>> Wayne: A GREAT JOB.

SPECIAL TEAMS SPECIAL FOR THIS MAN.

ANOTHER BOOMING KICK BY LINNIHAN.

>> Matt: FAIR CATCH MADE AT THE 33 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS A 38-YARD KICK RIGHT ON HIS FIRST PUNT AVERAGE OF 35 YARDS PER KICK.

THE GOLDEN LIONS OFFENSE GOT THE STOP.

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT ANYBODY WENT THREE-AND-OUT THE ENTIRE GAME.

>> Wayne: NOW THIS OFFENSE, ROSTER CROSBY, MOSLEY, TAYLOR, YOU SAW THEM HAVING SOME SUCCESS AT TIMES.

BUT THE ISSUE IS WHEN THEY GET BEHIND THE STICKS, THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT PASS GAME LIKE MARIST HAS GOING TONIGHT.

THEY WILL HAVE TO BE VERY EFFICIENT HERE AND EXECUTE THIS OFFENSE AND STAY AHEAD OF THE STICKS.

>> Matt: FIRST AND TEN FROM THE 33.

CROSBY CUTS BACK AND GETS TO THE 39 YARD LINE.

MAKE IT A SIX-YARD PICKUP FOR COLIN CROSBY, THE QUARTERBACK.

>> Wayne: BIG TACKLE THERE BY MRAZ.

A LOT OF ROOM IN FRONT OF COLIN CROSBY IF HE COULD GET OUT OF THAT MRAZ TACKLE.

THOSE ARE THE YARDAGES THEY NEED.

THAT FOUR, FIVE YARDS ON FIRST DOWN.

THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WIN FIRST DOWNS.

>> Matt: UNOFFICIALLY FIVE TACKLES FOR MRAZ TONIGHT.

CAME IN AS THEIR LEADING TACKLER ON THE SEASON.

35 TOTAL TACKLES.

20 SOLO.

SECOND DOWN AND FOUR.

CROSBY GOES TO THE FAR SIDE.

HAS THE FIRST DOWN.

DIVES FORWARD TO THE 47 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: NICE PULL BY THE RIGHT GUARD, SECURING THAT EDGE.

CLEAN EDGE AS CROSBY WORKS DOWN.

YOU SEE 74 GETTING OUT ON THE EDGE.

CHARLIE NELSON AS WELL, THE RIGHT TACKLE.

THAT'S THE POINT OF ATTACK THAT THE ST. PIUS TEAM WANTS TO GET ON THE EDGE AND GUARDS PULLING ARE KEY TO THAT SUCCESS.

>> Matt: FIRST AND TEN FOR COACH CHAD GARRISON'S TEAM AS THEY APPROACH MIDFIELD.

TAYLOR GETS DRIVEN BACK.

BIG STOP BY ANTON HAVEN RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB OF HAVEN.

BIG TACKLES IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT THERE SHEDDING THE BLOCK.

KEEPING THOSE CENTERS AND GUARDS OUT OF THE WHEEL, YOUR LEGS.

GETTING OFF THE GROUND.

HAVEN.

MAKING PLAYS THERE.

>> Matt: JOHN TAYLOR COMES OFF THE FIELD.

LOOKS LIKE HE IS SHAKEN UP A LINNIHAN.

SECOND DOWN AND NINE.

HAVEN BY THE WAY, WHO JUST MADE THAT TACKLE, HIS UNCLE IS JESSE "THE HAMMER" TUGGLE.

>> Wayne: YEAH, I MET MANY TIMES OUT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

WHAT A PLAYER HE WAS FOR THE ATLANTA FALCONS.

>> Matt: GOOD JOB OF RUNNING THE OFFENSE HERE BY CROSBY.

EYES FORWARD TO THE 46 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: BOTH OF THESE QUARTERBACKS RUN SO TOUGH.

NOT THE BIGGEST.

YOU CAN SEE SHAKEN UP THERE A LITTLE BIT, IS CROSBY.

AND THAT'S THE THING THAT BOTH TEAMS, THEY LOVE THEIR QUARTERBACKS, FOR THOSE KIND OF PLAYS.

WILLING TO RUN BETWEEN THE TACKLES AND MAKE TOUGH YARDS.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND THREE FOR THE 5'11" 175 FIRST YEAR STARTING QUARTERBACK.

BALL GOES TO MOSLEY.

HE IS TRYING TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS.

HE IS GOING TO TAKE A LOSS ON THE PLAY.

THAT WAS A GREAT JOB BY MRAZ TO BLOW IT UP.

HE DOESN'T GET CREDIT FOR THE TACKLE AND ALSO SHAKEN UP ON THE PLAY BUT MRAZ AND HIS PENETRATION BLEW UP THE PLAY AND NOW IT'S FOURTH DOWN.

>> Wayne: MRAZ, A PLAYMAKER.

PLAYING THE GAPS.

OWEN RICE, THE STRONG SAFETY HOLDING THE POINT.

NOWHERE TO BOUNCE THAT PLAY TO THE OUTSIDE.

RALLYING TO THE BALL IS THIS MARIST DEFENSE.

>> Matt: MRAZ SHAKEN UP ON THE PLAY.

COMES TO THE SIDELINE.

HE IS A GREAT GOLFER.

HE IS ON THE GOLF TEAM.

>> Wayne: ALL THE ATHLETES THAT GOLF.

SAYING THEY LOVE THAT GOLF.

NO, IT'S A GREAT GOLFER, THE COACH RAVED HOW GREAT A GOLFER HE IS.

PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT BODY AS WELL.

>> Matt: THAT'S A SPORT AND RECREATION FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS.

>> Wayne: HAVE TO DO IT FOUR, FIVE TIMES A WEEK TO BE GOOD AT IT.

>> Matt: LINE TO GAIN IS THE 43.

A LOSS.

BACK AT THE 49.

PLAY GOT BLOWN UP BY RICHERSON.

JACK RICHERSON HAS BASEBALL OFFERS FROM GEORGIA, GEORGIA TECH AND NOTRE DAME HITTING HARD.

>> Matt: 6:22 TO PLAY IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

MARIST GETS THE BALL BACK AFTER A FOURTH DOWN STOP AND THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN 4A LEADS ST. PIUS 10-0.

MATT STEWART, WAYNE GANDY AND JON NELSON WITH YOU AND OUR ENTIRE GPB TEAM.

UTSCH.

HITTING THE HOLE HARD HERE.

TRACE GAYNES, BIG HOLE ON THAT WHAM BLOCK THERE BY SPALDING, PULLING THE RIGHT GUARD.

THE WHAM KICK-OUT BLOCK HITTING UNDERNEATH RIGHT THERE FOR THE BIG GAIN.

>> Matt: THE CORNERBACK WAS HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE.

IF HE DOESN'T, GAYNES MIGHT HAVE GONE TO THE HOUSE.

SECOND DOWN AND ONE.

EUART, BIG HOLE FOR HIM, A SPIN MOVE DOWN TO THE 31 YARD LINE.

JACK EUART.

>> Wayne: NICE FAKE THERE, CHRIS HAR TELL PULLING THAT BALL.

GOOD BLOCKING ON THAT SIDE.

HAERTEL WITH A BIG HIT THERE.

FOLLOWING HIS BLOCKS RIGHT THERE.

JACK EUART LEADING THIS TEAM.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES THEM SO DANGEROUS.

THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE JUST WALKING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD, EATING UP CLOCK AND CUTTING YOUR CHANCE OF HAVING ANY SUCCESS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO DO IT.

TO THE NEAR SIDE.

>> Matt: TOSS TO GAYNES.

GAYNES IS GOING TO CUT BACK.

GAYNES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE THE FIELD.

12 YARD LINE AND A FLAG DOWN ON >> Wayne: DEVELOPING OUTSIDE RUN, TYPICALLY IN THAT LOCATION OF BLOCKING IN THE BACK OR HOLDING BIT RECEIVER WHEN YOU GET THAT FAR OUT, JUST HARD TO HOLD THAT EDGE OUTSIDE BY THE NUMBERS HERE.

TRACE GAYNES GETTING THERE AND JUST THE BLOCK RIGHT THERE IN THE BACK.

YOU COULD SEE.

>> Referee: BLOCK IN THE BACK, OFFENSE, TEN-YARD PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL.

REPEAT FIRST DOWN.

>> Matt: RARE PENALTY IN THIS GAME.

THAT'S THE FIRST PENALTY CALLED ON MARIST.

BEEN A CLEAN GAME.

WE HAD 26 PENALTIES IN THE GAME WE DID LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

>> Wayne: VERY CLEAN.

BOTH TEAMS COUNT ON EXECUTION.

HAVE THESE KIND OF GAMES, YOU HAVE THESE KINDS OF TEAMS THAT LIKE TO RUN THE BALL, YOU CAN'T KILL YOURSELF WITH PENALTIES.

>> Matt: HANDOFF GOES TO HAERTEL.

HAERTEL TACKLED BY KLEIN.

SHORT GAIN ON THE PLAY.

AND THEY ARE HAPPY TO LIVE WITH THAT.

ON FIRST AND 14, 13, WHATEVER IT IS, GET THREE YARDS, THEY ARE HAPPY WITH THAT.

>> Wayne: THREE YARDS, FIRST DOWN, FOUR YARDS, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO TRY TO MAKE THIRD AND SHORT.

WITH THE ABILITY OF DREW LINNIHAN AND THE WAY HE KICKS THE BALL AS THEIR WEAPON, THEY ARE REALLY ABOUT FIVE YARDS OUT OF FIELD GOAL RANGE.

>> Matt: YEAH, THEY ARE PRACTICALLY IN HIS RANGE RIGHT NOW.

EUART RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE DIVES FORWARD.

HE IS A TOUGH SUCKER, ISN'T HE?

ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 25 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB.

HE THROWS OFF TACKLES AND THAT'S HOW HE JUST KIND OF WILLS HIS BODY.

NOT THE BIGGEST, BUT JUST FIGHTING HERE.

BEING GRAB, BEING HIT.

GOOD PUSH THERE BY HIS RIGHT GUARD, KELLY SPALDING TO PICK UP ANOTHER TWO YARDS.

>> Matt: 12 CARRIES, 48 YARDS FOR HIM.

AND YOU'RE NOT KIDDING.

HE HAS GOTTEN IT DONE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

FIVE TACKLES AND A BLOCK ODD FIELD GOAL AS WELL.

THE P.A.T.

BY LINNIHAN DISAPPEARS INTO THE NIGHT.

AND A 17-0 LEAD FOR NUMBER ONE MARIST.

NOAH .

>>> 3:24 TO PLAY IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

NOAH GERRICK JUST BUSTED THIS GAME OVER WITH A 26-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN.

LOOK AT THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN SCORING DRIVE.

AFTER THEY GOT THAT FOURTH DOWN STOP, SIX PLAYS, 50 YARDS, 2:58 OFF THE CLOCK.

THAT WAS A SPEED DRIVE.

>> Wayne: THAT'S HOW YOU GET A TEAM WIN.

THE OFFENSE FEEDING OFF WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES THEM.

SHORT FIELD.

WELL EXECUTED BLOCKING UPFRONT.

OVERCAME A BIG PENALTY THAT PUT THEM BACK.

AND THIS MARIST OFFENSE IS IN A GROOVE RIGHT NOW.

>> Matt: LOOKING FOR THEIR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE WIN IN THIS FISH BOWL RIVALRY SERIES.

IT WOULD BE THEIR EIGHTH IN NINE GAMES.

WOULD GIVE THEM THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN REGION 5-4A AS THEY TRY TO WIN THEIR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> Wayne: NOW CAN THE ST. PIUS GOLDEN LIONS OFFENSE OPEN UP A LITTLE BIT?

NEED SOME CHUNK PLAYS AS WE CONTINUE TO SAY THIS, MARIST'S OFFENSE REALLY PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON YOU AS THE OPPOSING TEAM IN THE WAY THEY CAN EAT UP FIVE, SIX MINUTES OF POSSESSION.

SO NOW CAN YOU OPEN UP JUST A LITTLE BIT TO GET SOME CHUNK PLAYS DOWN THE FIELD.

>> Matt: CROSBY HAS THROWN FOR ONLY 306 YARDS THIS SEASON.

AND HAS ONE COMPLETION TONIGHT.

HANDOFF GOES TO FRANCOIS.

FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN THE SOPHOMORE GET THE BALL.

GOT BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

KECHLT TRYING TO RUN THE BALL TO MAKE SOME HAY.

GOOD PENETRATION ONCE AGAIN BY THE DEFENSIVE FRONT.

TOUGH SLEDDING, THIS DEFENSE COMES IN WITH THREE SHUTOUTS, ONLY GIVING UP 4.5 POINTS A GAME.

ONE THING THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN IS WHAT COACH CHADWICK SAID.

THEY KIND OF HAVE BEEN BEAT WITH, AND THAT IS THAT BUCK SWEEP.

RIGHT NOW WITH THE PHEN TRAGS PENETRATION, NOWHERE TO RUN THE BALL.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND TEN.

CROSBY NOT GOING FAR AT ALL.

TRANSFERRED FROM SPALDING HIGH SCHOOL.

HIS DAD WORKS WITH HOME DEPOT.

GOT A JOB IN THIS PART OF THE CITY.

MADE THE MOVE FROM SOUTH OF ATLANTA.

BIG KEY TO THE OFFENSE.

WE TALKED ABOUT GAYNES.

PLAYING MORE SLOT, GERRICK, THE POWERFUL RUNNING, EXPLOSIVE RUNS HE BRINGS.

BRAYDEN LEWIS IS BIG AND A BIG KEY.

GLAD TO HAVE HIM BACK AND HEALTHY IS COACH CHADWICK.

GOOD AT JUST AFTER CONTACT PULLING AWAY FROM TACKLES, THROWING HISSELF UP FIELD.

>> Matt: OFFICIAL'S TIME-OUT.

WANT TO GO BACK TO THE FIRST HEADLINE, THE NCAA ELIMINATING NATIONAL LETTERS OF INTENT.

I AM NOT GOING TO ASK YOU WHAT THAT MEANS BECAUSE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH DALE McGEE, GEORGIA STATE COACH, RICKY RONNIE, THE OLD DOMINION COACH, AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

>> Wayne: IT LINES UP IN MY MIND AS A CLOSE STEP -- A STEP CLOSER TO SEMI-PRO BALL ALMOST.

LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO SIGN A CONTRACT.

>> Matt: YOU ARE SIGNING A CONTRACT.

>> Wayne: MORE IT THAN A LETTER OF INTENT.

SO THE FIRST STAGE WHEN I SAW THAT WAS THAT THAT WOULD BE WHAT YOU WOULD REPLACE IT WITH, RIGHT?

WE'VE -- MY WHOLE 1989, I SIGNED A LETTER OF INTENT TO GO TO AUBURN.

SO WITHOUT THAT, WHAT ARE WE SIGNING NOW IS THE BIG QUESTION.

SO THE N.I.L.

GREAT EXECUTION AT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION.

EXECUTING THEY THROW THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

AND THE WAY THAT THEIR DEFENSE FLIES AROUND AND KEEPS PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THEM JUST IS TOUGH TO BEAT.

>> Matt: THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN SCORING DRIVE, 15 PLAYS, 70 YARDS, 8:32.

WHEN YOU PLAY MARIST, YOU CAN'T LET THEM GET THE LEAD.

>> Wayne: YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO TRY TO GET UP EARLY ON THEM AND TRY TO FORCE THEM TO A DIFFERENT SITUATION.

>> Matt: IT REALLY IS, YOU KINDA GET THE FEEL, IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THIS ANALOGY, IT'S LIKE YOU A PYTHON.

HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE COILS OF AND THEY JUST SQUEEZE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.

>> Referee: OUT OF BOUNDS KICKING TEAM.

BALL AT THE 35.

FIRST DOWN.

>> Wayne: THAT'S WHY THAT WINDOW, THERE WAS A MOMENT HERE IN FOOTBALL WHERE EVERYBODY THOUGHT PASS THE BALL, PASS THE BALL.

NOW YOU SEE THE IMPORTANCE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE BIG NUMBERS RUNNING THE BALL BUT THEY HAVE TO BE EFFICIENT.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SOMETIMES GO ON A FOUR MINUTE DRIVE AND END THE GAME.

MARIST IS JUST SHOWING YOU HOW YOU CAN USE TIME AND POSSESSION AS A WEAPON GOING ON THESE LONG DRIVES AND LEAVING THIS TEAM IN ST. PIUS JUST NO REAL CHANCE UP 24-0 WITH FOUR MINUTES LEFT.

>> Matt: BALL GOES OUT THERE TO MOSLEY.

HE CAN'T HOLD ON TO IT.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH COACH ALAN CHADWICK.

I FOUND IT VERY ENLIGHTENING.

HE WAS VERY CANDID WITH US ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

JUST TALKING ABOUT HIS CAREER, HE GAVE GREAT CREDIT TO DEAN HARGIS, WHO WAS THE HEAD COACH WHEN HIRED HIM, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE WAS READY TO MOVE INTO COACHING.

HE WAS AN EIGHTH ROUND DRAFT PICK OF THE CHICAGO BEARS IN 1974.

DIDN'T WORK OUT.

HE GOES INTO COACHING.

HE SHOWS UP.

HE IS A YOUNG OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR DEAN HARGIS.

HE SAYS HE SHOWED HIM HOW AND TAUGHT HIM HOW MARIST CAN WIN WITH THE TOOLS THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH.

LET'S FACE IT.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE FOUR AND FIVE STAR ATHLETES THAT SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS THAT WE SEE ON A WEEKLY BASIS DO.

YET, NOBODY OR VERY FEW TEAMS WIN MORE AND MORE CONSISTENTLY THAN THE MARIST WAR EAGLES.

>> Wayne: FUNDAMENTALS.

ROUTINE.

THAT CONSISTENCY THAT COACH CHADWICK LOOKS FOR.

HE KNOWS THAT THERE IS A GAME PLAN TO WINNING, AND HE IS SET FOR THE LAST 39, 40 YEARS OF SETTING IT THAT TEMPO.

HE IS LOOKING FOR THOSE KIND OF TOUGH-MINDED PLAYERS FOR THE REPUTATION AND FUNDAMENTALS, NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU THROW OUT THE WINDOW.

AND HE IS USING THAT.

HE HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESS DOING IT.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND 12.

CROSBY THROWS TO MOSLEY.

AWAY.

HE IS GOING TO GET DROPPED RIGHT IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, BECAUSE VERY SOON WE ARE GOING TO START THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK.

RIGHT NOW BASED ON THE CURRENT RATE OF WINNING, AVERAGING 11 WINS PER SEASON, LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD GET MORE THAN THAT THIS YEAR, RIGHT NOW BASED ON 11 WINS PER SEASON, EARLY IN THE 2018 SEASON HE SHOULD PASS LARRY CAMPBELL AS THE ALL-TIME WINNINGEST COACH IN GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL HISTORY.

>> Wayne: HE SAYS PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS BRINGING IT UP NOW.

IM SURE EACH AND EVERY VICTORY HE GETS CLOSER, IT MAKES YOU WANT TO STAY AROUND.

IT MAKES YOU WANT TO CONTINUE ON YOUR JOURNEY.

SOMETHING YOU MIGHT HAVE STOPPED A LITTLE WHILE AGO, YOU CONTINUE TO DO BECAUSE YOU SEE THAT RECORD.

AND WE ARE ALWAYS QUICK TO BE SURPRISED WHEN PEOPLE ARE SITTING THERE LIKE A BARRY SANDERS SITTING RIGHT THERE AND DECIDED TO RETIRE WHEN HE WAS SO CLOSE TO A RUSHING RECORD.

>> Matt: QUARTERBACK SACK ON FOURTH DOWN.

THE BALL GOES OVER ON DOWNS.

AND WE'LL STEP ASIDE FOR ONE FINAL TIME-OUT.>> Matt: WELCOME BACK TO ST. PIUS.

MARIST IN COMMAND.

2:49 TO GO.

>> Jon: WE HAVE SOME FINAL SCORES.

CAMDEN, BEATS RICHMOND HILL 28-10.

THOMASVILLE/FITZGERALD 23-8.

WARE COUNTY NOW AHEAD OF BENEDICTINE THIRD QUARTER IN SOUTH GEORGIA, 17-14.

WEBB GAME IS TIED AT NORTH ATLANTA.

>> Matt: THANK YOU, NELLY.

FIRST AND TEN FOR MARIST AS THEY TAKE OVER HERE FOR WHAT WILL LIKELY BE THE FINAL POSSESSION OF THE GAME.

AND A NEW QUARTERBACK IN AS THEY HAVE GIVEN JACK EUART THE REST OF THE NIGHT OFF.

THIS ONE IS ALL BUT IN THE BOOKS.

JOE MONTH EMBO.

HE IS COMMITTED TO PLAY BASEBALL AT PRINCETON.

>> Wayne: COACH CHADWICK LOVES HIS PLAYERS TO BE MULTI-SPORT ATHLETES.

IT CREATES A COMPETITION.

IT BREEDS THE COMPETITOR IN YOU.

>> Matt: BASEBALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A BIG SPORT AT MARIST.

YOU KNOW, WE TALKED TO COACH ALAN CHADWICK.

YOU KNOW, AT 40 YEARS AS A HEAD COACH NOW, 49 YEARS AT THE MARIST PROGRAM.

WHAT FUELS YOUR FIRE?

AND THIS IS WHERE I FELT LIKE YOU AND I HAVE THIS IN COMMON WITH HIM.

HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, THE EXCITEMENT AND THE PASSION OF FRIDAY NIGHTS OF GETTING YOUR TEAM READY TO PLAY ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.

I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU AND I ENJOY THIS SO MUCH, IS WE STILL GET CHARGED UP ABOUT THE FRIDAY NIGHT.

>> Wayne: IT TAPS INTO THAT COMPETITOR IN ME, ESPECIALLY POST-CAREER, SOMETHING YOU GET CAUGHT IN AND YOU START FEELING ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE PLAYING.

AND IT IS AN EXTENSION, WATCHING IT, CALLING IT, IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY PASSIONATE AND VERY INTOXICATING.

>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND FIVE.

AND MONTEMBEAU PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN.

THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE FINAL FIRST DOWN OF THE GAME.

WE LOOK AT MARIST.

THEY WILL BE HEAVILY FAVORED TO RUN THE TABLE FROM HERE ON OUT.

CLARKSTON, LITHONIA, TUCKER, THE ONLY TEAM STILL UNBEATEN.

OF THE BEATEN.

KNOCKED ST. PIUS INTO THE RANKS AND MARIST NOW 5-0 IN THE REGION AFTER TONIGHT.

TUCKER STILL OUT THERE WITH NO LOSSES.

THEY ARE THE LAST GAME ON THE REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE.

AND YOU LOOK AT THAT SCHEDULE, SOMETHING TO REMEMBER, MOST EVERY TEAM IN THE STATE, YOU ARE GOING TO GET A WEEK OFF BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK BECAUSE OF HURRICANE HELENE.

THE PLAYOFFS DON'T START TOO NOVEMBER 15 INSTEAD OF NOVEMBER 8.

>> Wayne: GREAT TIME TO HAVE A BYE.

GET YOUR BODY, YOU KNOW, GET THE BEST OUT OF PLAYERS GOING INTO THAT STATE FINAL.

I MEAN THE PLAYOFFS.

>> Matt: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S GOING TO DO IT.

MARIST WIN THE 59th MEETING IN THE FISH BOWL.

THEY HAVE NOW WON FIVE IN A ROW IN THE SERIES.

EIGHT OF THE LAST NINE AND THEY IMPROVE TO 38-18-3 ALL TIME AGAINST ST. PIUS.

7-0 ON THE SEASON FOR THE NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM IN THE STATE.

AS WE SHOWED YOU IN THE SCHEDULE, THEY WILL BE HEAVY FAVORITES TO BE 10-0 GOING INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND LIKELY A NUMBER ONE SEED, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE EIGHT NUMBER ONE SEEDS OR REGION CHAMPIONS BECAUSE ASIDE FROM THE SHINY TROPHY THAT YOU GET, YOU HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING HOME IN THE PLAYOFFS EVERY WEEK BEFORE YOU GET TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

>> Wayne: THE ENERGY OF BEING AT HOME, THE ROUTINE OF BEING AT HOME.

THIS MARIST TEAM TONIGHT, BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL, JUST DOMINANT AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT JACK EUART AND THOSE PARTICULARS ON OFFENSE.

BUT ZERO POINTS UP ON THE BOARD AGAINST ST. PIUS, WHOSE OFFENSE CAME IN PUTTING 33 POINTS A GAME ON THE BOARD.

JUST A BEAUTIFUL GAME FROM THE WAR EAGLES.

>> Matt: KNOCK ANOTHER ONE OFF THE CALENDAR FOR ALAN CHADWICK.

438 VICTORIES.

SO NOW 40 WINS AWAY FROM PASSING LARRY CAMPBELL.

TIME NOW FOR OUR POSTGAME INTERVIEW.

IT'S BROUGHT TO YOU BY JOHNNY'S PIZZA.

YOUR ORIGINAL NEIGHBORHOOD PIZZERIA.

>> Jon: THANK YOU.

HERE WITH COACH CHADWICK TO GET THE POSTGAME DELIVERY OF WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT.

24-0.

YOU LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD.

HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE ADJUSTMENTS IN THE SECOND HALF TO PUT THIS GAME AWAY?

>> I AM PLEASED WITH THAT DEFENSIVE STAT.

DID A GOOD JOB OF ADJUSTING.

OUR KIDS DID A GOOD JOB OF GETTING THE FIELD, HOW THEY WERE ATTACKING US AND FITTING AND SQUEEZING THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO.

A GOOD JOB SECOND HALF SHUTTING THEM DOWN.

THE KEY TO THE GAME.

THE 95-YARD DRIVE IN THE SECOND QUARTER BEFORE THE END OF THE HALF TO PUT BIG POINTS ON THE IN AT HALFTIME.

BOARD, TAKE A COMFORTABLE LEAD OFFENSIVELY DID A GOOD JOB CONVERTING WHEN WE NEEDED TO AND TOUGH SITUATIONS IN THE SECOND HALF.

I WAS PLEASED WITH THAT.

>> Jon: TWO SCORING DRIVES, OVER 15 MINUTES OF PLAY.

SO BASICALLY THE ENTIRE QUARTER PLUS THREE MINUTES.

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET A CHANCE TO WATCH YOU, THAT SHOULD BE NORMAL FOR YOU, AN EXPECTATION?

>> YEAH.

HASN'T QUITE BEEN THE PACE THIS YEAR WITH SOME OF THE EASIER GAMES WE HAD.

THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD TEST TO PLAY AGAINST A GOOD, TOUGH, PHYSICAL, WELL COACHED TEAM.

YARDAGE WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH TO COME BY.

OUR KIDS RESPONDED PRETTY WELL.

WE TOOK A STEP FORWARD TONIGHT I THINK.

>> Jon: WAS THIS A DECENT EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR YOU, SIR?

>> I WILL TAKE IT.

NOT BAD.

>> Jon: WHAT IS THE REST OF THE BIRTHDAY PLANS?

ARE YOU GOING TO GET TIME TO YOURSELF?

>> I WILL TAKE IT EASY TOMORROW.

WATCH SOME COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND COOK A STEAK TOMORROW NIGHT.

>> Jon: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> APPRECIATE WHAT Y'ALL DO.

>> Jon: ALAN CHADWICK, HEAD COACH.

WE WILL DO A HOT TAG.

COME ON IN, JACK.

AND IT'S TIME FOR OUR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSIONER PLAYER OF THE GAME.

OUR NATURAL CHOICE WAS THE QB.

HE GOT THE TALENT.

HE GOT THE HAT.

THE HAT THAT HAS A LITTLE BLUE IN IT.

WHAT AS IT LIKE FOR YOU TO HAVE AN OFFENSE THAT HUMS THE WAY THAT IT DOES?

IT ALMOST SEEMS SEAMLESS AND FLUID.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING THAT FLUID?

>> YOU KNOW, REPS. YOU KNOW, YOU GET TO THE POINT IN THE SEASON WHERE YOU KNOW THE GUY NEXT TO YOU IS GOING TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW YOU TRUST HE IS GOING TO DO YOUR JOB AND THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TRUST YOU TO DO YOUR JOB AND THINGS START CHURNING.

THAT'S OUR GOAL.

WE SAID BEFORE THE GAME JUST DO YOUR OWN JOB.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE.

WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN JOB AND THE SCOREBOARD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF.

>> Wayne: 124 YARDS OF OFFENSE FOR YOU, 60/40 WHEN IT COMES TO PERCENTAGES.

A LOT OF DIFFERENT GUYS TOUCHED THE BALL TONIGHT.

THAT'S HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.

YOU CAN'T KEY IN ON JUST ONE PERSON?

>> NO DOUBT.

WE ARE TRYING TO SPREAD THE BALL OUT, TRYING TO GET SIGNIFICANT FORMATIONS WHERE WE KNOW WE DO STUFF.

TRYING TO SPREAD THE EVEN PLAYING FIELD AND KEEP THE DEFENSE GUESSING.

>> Jon: HOW BIG A RIVALRY IS MARIST AND ST. PIUS?

>> IT'S THE TYPE OF GAME YOU PUT ON THE CALENDAR STARTING JANUARY 1.

BOTH SCHOOLS LOOK UP TO THE GAME EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

AND JUST TO BE ABLE TO BE OUT HERE SUCH A SURREAL FEELING.

IT'S JUST MIND-BLOWING WHAT IT MEANS TO THIS SCHOOL AND THEIR SCHOOL.

CREDIT TO BOTH SCHOOLS.

AMAZING SCHOOLS.

AND THIS RIVALRY IS PRETTY SPECIAL.

>> Jon: AS THE EUART CLAN KNOWS BECAUSE OF ITS TIES TO THIS RIVALRY, WELL DONE TONIGHT.

GOOD WIN.

YOU GOT THE TOWEL.

YOU GOT THE HAT.

YOU ARE OUR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSIONER PLAYER OF THE GAME.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Jon: WEARING 14, THEY GET THE WIN BY WINNING BY 24.

>> Matt: AND, WAYNE, GREAT PERFORMANCE BY JACK EUART IN THE GAME.

AND THEN A TREMENDOUS POSTGAME INTERVIEW.

>> GREAT JOB.

PASSIONATE.

HE UNDERSTANDS THE RIVALRY.

THIS TEAM OF MARIST, THEY SAY DEFENSE TRAVELS.

RUNNING GAME TRAVELS.

AND THEY CAME IN HERE AND DOMINATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL AND THE KICKING GAME.

>> Matt: AFTER A WEEK A ALAN CHADWICK AND WATCHED THE TEAM PLAY, YOU HAVE BEEN IN FOOTBALL ALL YOUR LIFE, PLAYED 15 YEARS IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, KIND OF WHAT IS YOUR IMPRESSION OF ALAN CHADWICK?

>> Wayne: PROFESSIONAL.

CLASS ACT WHEN YOU SEE HIM.

YOU CAN TELL EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS ABOUT THE KIDS AND THEIR SUCCESS AND THAT'S WHAT HE IS POURING INTO.

A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND AT PEACE LEADER OF THIS TEAM.

>> Matt: THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAID, IF I DO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK THE RECORD, IT WILL NOT BE ABOUT ME AT ALL.

IT WILL BE ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO POURED INTO THE PROGRAM.

AND YOU WOULD EXPECT NO OTHER ANSWER THAN THAT FROM ALAN CHADWICK.

>> Wayne: TOTALLY UNDERSTANDS THAT YOU A DON'T DO THIS KIND OF WINNING ON YOUR OWN.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE.

THE COACHES.

THE ADMINISTRATION.

FAMILY.

THE WAY.

AND A GREAT HEAD COACH TO LEAD >> Matt: THAT WAS FUN.

WAR EAGLES WIN ANOTHER ONE.
