>> MONDAY AFTERNOON, DIVISION II FLAG FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE CHAMPIONS GREENBRIER WOLFPACK AND THE NORTH OCONEE TITANS, THE RUN YEARS UP A YEAR AGO, THRILLED TO GET CHAMPIONSHIP ROLLING AT MERCEDES-BENZ STATE WERE YOU WITH OUR FLAG FOOTBALL RULES ANALYST GURU, WE WILL HAVE JOHN NELSON ON THE SIDELINE AND DAVE, FLAG FOOTBALL HAS BEEN GOING TO FOR FIVE YEARS AND WE WANT TO GIVE THE FANS THE DETAILS THAT MIGHT BE BLURRY >> THE FIRST DOWN ACHIEVED BY GAINING THE ZONE LINE, SIX LINES AND 20 YARDS APART AND FOUR 10-MINUTE QUARTERS OR A RUNNING CLOCK.

UNDER TWO MINUTES, THE CLOCK WILL STOP, SIMILAR TO TACKLE FOOTBALL FOR INCOMPLETE PASSES AND SCORES AND AN ELBOW WILL CATCH A FORWARD PASS.

AND LAST ONE, NON-CONTACT CONTACT SPORT AND INSTEAD OF USING THEIR HANDS TO BLOCK.

>> WE SAW ONE TEAM REPEAT, AND THAT WAS SOUTH BEST EAST BULLOCK AND GREENBRIER HAS A CHANCE TO REPEAT WITH AALIYAH SILVER.

SHE GOES BOTH WAYS >> WE GO BACK TO LAST YEAR'S STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND THE DEFENSIVE SIDED WELLS IN TACKLES AND INTERCEPTIONS.

>> AND WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON CATHERINE COOPER, NORTH OCONEE'S QUARTERBACK.

>> YOU CAN TELL SHE GREW UP THROWING THE BALL WITH HER FATHER IN THE BACKYARD AND SHE HAS THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE PLAY ON HER OWN AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

BIG DAY FOR BOGART AND I BELIEVE THAT CATHERINE COOPER WILL BE STARTING FROM THE BACK POSITION >> AND THE BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP STARTS TONIGHT SO IT COULD BE A SPECIAL DAY AND COACH O'MARA SAID THERE WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE BECAUSE THE BOYS PUNCHED THEIR TICKET AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE IN THE GAME AS WELL.

AND HERE ARE THE TITANS, NORTH OCONEE AND LOST IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME LAST YEAR TO SOUTHEAST BULLOCK, DIVISION I AND THERE IS HEAD COACH NICOLE O'MARA IN HER FIRST SEASON, AN ASSISTANT LAST YEAR, DAVE, BUT WITH THE PREVIOUS HEAD COACH JAY LASLEY TAKING A JOB WITH THE MIAMI MARLINS AND THE INTERDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM HE HAS MOVED TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

AND FOR GREENBRIER HEAD COACH DANIEL JORDAN, THE DEFENDING CHAMPION, GREENBRIER ALUM 2003 AND HIS DAD WAS A TRACK AND FIELD COACH AT GREENBRIER AND THEY PRETTY MUCH BLEW OR BLEED GREEN.

AND OVER TO JOHN NELSON >> I HAD TO LOOK THIS UP.

LOOK AT THE DEFENSE.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IF YOU WANTED TO TURN FOUR SYLLABLES INTO SEVEN, IT'S RIDICULOUS.

THEY HAD A STRING OF NUMBER TWO IN GEORGIA AND 11 NATIONALLY WITH 13 SHUTOUTS IN 14 GAMES AND 15 SHUT OUTS IN 17 GAMES.

NOW, WILEY AND DAVE, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I THINK DEFENSE IS THE CALLING CARD FOR GREENBRIER.

THOSE NUMBERS ARE INSANE.

BACK TO YOU >> NO KIDDING, NELLY.

AND IN THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, SCORING HAS BEEN TOUGH TO COME BY.

THE TEAMS THAT GET TO FLAG FOOTBALL ARE THE BEST IN THE STATE.

AS A DEFENSE, THEY ARE GIVING UP LESS THAN THREE POINTS PER GAME ON AVERAGE AND START WITH THE FOOTBALL FOR NORTH OCONEE, DEFERRED, AND THE PASS COMPLETE TO PRESLEY McDERMOTT FROM QUARTERBACK KENZIE HORTON.

LET'S LOOK AT THE GREENBRIER OFFENSIVE STARTERS BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGENTS BANK, YOU HAVE MAMIE CATE PANGLE AND HER OLDER SISTER, MAGGIE, A SENIOR BUT FOR GREENBRIER THEY RELY SO HEAVILY ON THE OFFENSE.

AND THIS PASS AGAIN, COMPLETE, AND THE FLAG PULLED, THE NORTH OCONEE SECONDARY.

THAT WAS MAGGIE PANGLE ON THE CATCH, A NON-CONTACT, CONTACT SPORT AS POINTED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES, AND SHAKEN UP THERE IS PATTERSON WHO WILL TAKE A BREATHER.

THEY LOST THE FIRST GAME AGAINST ALTOONA IN THE START OF OCTOBER AND HAVEN'T LOST SINCE AND AGAIN, WORKING OUT THE LEFT SIDELINE, PRESLEY McDERMOTT AGAIN CASES HE WILL BE ABOUT FIVE YARDS SHORT OF THE LINE TO GAIN.

>> HORTON, JUST GIVE HER A STRONG ARM, AND McDERMOTT, A BIG WIDE RECEIVER, SOCCER PLAYER, EXPECT THAT TO BE A CONNECTION FOR THE WOLFPACK TO HAVE SUCCESS >> OVER THE MIDDLE, BATTED IN THE AIR AND A GOOD PLAY BY BLAKE WIEPKING TO BREAK UP THE PASS, AND A LOOK AT THE OCONEE DEFENSE.

AND IN THE BACKFIELD, ANNISTON SCOTT AT THE SAFETY POSITION.

FOURTH DOWN AND GREENBRIER WILL OPT TO KICK IT AWAY AND A MISSED CATCH AND THAT IS DEAD AS SOON AS IT HITS THE GROUND.

NOLYN KELLY UNABLE TO CONTROL IT AND HERE IS THE NORTH OCONEE OFFENSE, A UNIT THAT IS AVERAGING 30 POINTS FOR GAME, DAVE, STRENGTH ON STRENGTH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT CATHERINE COOPER HAS DONE.

>> YOU EXPECT THE OFFENSE TO BE DRIVEN BY THE QUARTERBACK AND SHOWING OFF THE ELECTRIC ARM.

>> AND A RUSH UP THE MIDDLE THAT TIME.

NOT A WHOLE LOW THERE FOR LEXI FAVREAU, OFF INJURY AND HEALTHY NOW FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME A GAME IN OCONEE PLAYED IN LAST YEAR AND AGAIN, THE POWER FORMATION AND A GOOD JOB BREAKING UP THE PASS, AND ZOOMING IN, SOPHIE CAMPANARO AND HERE IS A LOOK AT THE OFFENSE PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

AND MASHBURN LEADS WITH 17 TOUCHDOWN CATCHES.

THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE PAINTED 30 YARD LINE AND SHORT BY CATHERINE COOPER, 3-OUT AS SHE WAS TARGETING NOLYN HARRIS.

>> Dave: GOOD JOB BY TO FORCE THE QUARTERBACK, LOOKING UNCOMFORTABLE AND FIRST DOWN NOW.

>> Wiley: A PUNT COMING FROM NORTH OCONEE AND KYLER HAMMOND, AND NOW, BACK AND INSIDE THE 40 YARD LINE ON THE FIELD HERE AT MERCEDES-BENZ.

NICE TEAMWORK BETWEEN AALIYAH SILVER AND MAGGIE PANGLE.

>> Dave: ALWAYS ABOUT PROTECTING THE PUNT AND GOING UP THE FIELD AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

AND YOU CAN PICK UP FOUR OR FIVE YARDS AND FOR GREENBRIER, YOU IN PLUS TERRITORY AND PICK UP WHERE YOU WERE ON THE FIRST DRIVE >> Wiley: SCORELESS HERE IN THE FIRST QUARTER IN DIVISION II FLAG FOOTBALL AND THAT IS CAUGHT BY AALIYAH SILVER.

AND HER CLOCK IS STILL ON AND THE FLAG COMES OUT.

HE PITCHES IT AND IS RULED TO BE DOWN.

THEY ARE GOING TO SPOT HER AT THE 13 YARD LINE AND THERE IS A PENALTY FLAG OUT AS WELL, OUR HEAD OFFICIAL STEVEN SCHUMACHER.

I BEG YOUR PARDONNEN, SEAN SCHUMACHER.

>> Dave: I LIKE THE CALL AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, THE RESTRICTION, YANKING HER JERSEY AND WILL PACK ON THE PENALTY AND HALF THE DISTANCE, FIRST DOWN AND GOAL FROM THE 5-YARD LINE.

>> Wiley: OPPORTUNITY FOR GREENBRIER TO STRIKE FIRST, AND THAT WILL MAKE THINGS MORE TOUGH ON OCONEE.

THE JET SWEEP LOOK, TRYING TO WEAVE BACK INSIDE.

THAT'S MAMIE CATE PANGLE.

>> Dave: JUST PICKING UP DIFFERENT LOOKS HERE AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE JET SWEEP IN THIS GAME, NOT A COMMON, IN MY OPINION, PLAY AND YOU HAVE THE SPEED AND ONE THAT CAN GET YOUR ATHLETE THE SPACE FOR THE BOUNDARY.

>> Wiley: JORDAN WITH MOST OF HIS OFFENSE COMING TO THE SIDELINE, AND THEY WILL RACE BACK OUT.

SECOND AND GOAL FROM THE FOUR, 10-YARD LINE IS THE END ZONE.

RACING FORWARD, HORTON TOWARDS THE CORNER.

SHE'LL BE DROPPED SHORT.

BRINGS UP THIRD AND GOAL FROM THE TWO.

TOUCH-DOWN SAVING PULL FROM TAYLOR KELLY.

>> Dave: 1-1 RIGHT HERE AND RUSHING, NUMBER 28, FAVREAU, HAS TO GET THE FLAG PULLED.

THAT'S HER ASSIGNMENT, AND THE QUARTERBACK SCRAMBLES AND A NICE JOB EXTENDING THE PLAY A COUPLE OF YARDS AND IN FLAG FOOTBALL, THIRD DOWN TERRITORY.

>> Wiley: PATTERSON, NUMBER FOUR, I BEG YOUR PARDON.

AND THE PITCH PASS INSIDE, THEY'LL MARK HER SHORT.

KENZIE HORTON COULDN'T GET IN ON THE RECEIVING PASS AT THAT TIME, THE 1 YARD LINE, DISPOWRGT GOAL, NO FIELD GOAL.

THEY HAVE TO START ONE YARD INTO THE END ZONE.

AND A DIRECT SNAP IN AND A TOUCHDOWN, GREENBRIER.

THE WOLFPACK ARE ON THE BOARD, AND IT'S CARRINGTON MYERS WITH HER THIRD RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE YEAR.

>> Dave: BACK RIGHT THERE BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR THE WOLFPACK OFFENSE.

>> Wiley: SO GREENBRIER ON THE BOARD FIRST AND THEY CAN GO FROM ONE, TWO, OR THREE AND WILL STACK A PAIR OF RECEIVERS.

THE PASS IS BATTED DOWN.

WHEEL SEE WHAT THE CALL IS.

>> Referee: ILLEGAL PROCEDURE ON THE OFFENSE, PENALTY IS DECLINED.

>> Wiley: JORDAN IS LOOKING FOR VERIFICATION, BUT A 5-PLAY 27-YARD DRIVE AND GREENBRIER LEADING 6-0 IN THE FIRST.

AND NORTH OCONEE 3 AND OUT IN THE FIRST POSSESSION AND SEE IF THEY CAN ANSWER.

FOR NORTH OCONEE, THAT'S A GROUP THAT INSTALLED A NEW PLAYBOOK THIS YEAR, DAVE, AND FIRES THAT AND NEARLY CAUGHT WITH A GOOD THROW TO ADDIE STEWART GIVEN THAT COOPER WAS OFF BALANCE BUT IT IS INCOMPLETE.

SECOND DOWN AND SIX.

>> Dave: YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE NEW PIECES OF THE TITAN OFFENSE AND PLAY CALLS THAT CAN BE QUICK ON ALL HEELS -- ALL CYLINDERS, EXCUSE ME.

THAT IS TOO TALL FOR ANSLEE SOLODKII.

AND A TOUCHDOWN RUN FROM NUMBER 6 CARRINGTON MYERS, WITH OCONEE TRYING TO AVENGE A LOSS HERE A YEAR AGO.

GLAD TO HAVE BUT US FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS ON GPB.

>> Wiley: SO TO THE SECOND QUARTER, GREENBRIER LOOKING TO DEFEND DEFEATING LAST YEAR IN THE 2023 TITLE.

AND SOUTHEAST BULLOCK TO REPEAT FROM LAST YEAR -- OH, I BEG YOUR PARDON.

FROM EARLIER TODAY AND THEY REPEATED LAST YEAR.

THEY WON FOUR STRAIGHT.

AND GREENBRIER TRYING TO FINISH OFF ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON AND NORTH OCONEE, THIRD AND SIX.

AND THE BALL WAS TIPPED, LOOKING FOR LEADING RECEIVER KALLIE MASHBURN BUT IT WAS BROKEN UP BY SOPHIE CAMPANARO, BACK TO BACK THREE AND OUTS ON THE OFFENSE.

THE GREENBRIER DEFENSE IS CAUSING PROBLEMS.

>> Dave: I LIKE THE GREENBRIER MOTION THERE, CHANGING ON THE SPOT TOO.

>> Wiley: A BOMB OF A PUNT GATHERED AND THIS TIME, IT'S GATHERED AND FALLING ON THE GROUND.

I TELL YOU ONE THING.

HAZEL BEAM WAS CLOSE TO SNATCHING THAT OUT OF THE AIR.

DAVE, YOU EVER WATCH FLAG FOOTBALL BEFORE YOU THINK OH, THAT FOOTBALL IS LIVE.

IT'S NOT.

>> Dave: BY RULE, IF THE BALL HITS THE GROUND, IT'S DEAD RIGHT THERE.

AND MORE OFFENSE THERE ON THE PUNT RETURN AND ADVANTAGEOUS TO KEEP LOOKING FOR THE PITCH AND OUTLET AND PICK UP EXTRA YARDS, LOW RISK, HIGH REWARD BALL MOVEMENT.

>> Wiley: THREE RECEIVERS ON THE RIGHT AND THAT TIME, IT'S COMPLETED.

PRESLEY McDERMOTT FROM KENZIE HORTON.

THEY ARE WORKING THE SIDELINES HERE, A 12-YARD GAIN.

>> Dave: HE IS THE BIGGEST AND MOST PHYSICAL RECEIVER AND FINDS THE OPEN SPACE AND CATCHES SPACE.

>> Wiley: KENZIE HAS SEVERAL OFFERS TO PLAY FLAG FOOTBALL IN COLLEGE AND YES, THERE ARE COLLEGE FLAG FOOTBALL TEAMS, AND BACK TO PANGLE, BUT A MODEST GAIN WILL SET UP THIRD DOWN AND ONE.

SECOND DOWN AND ONE, BEG YOUR PARDON.

THAT'S NOT MIDFIELD, DAVE.

THAT'S THE 45 YARD LINE.

I'M TRYING.

FOR GIVE ME.

SO SECOND DOWN AND 16.

>> Dave: THIRD TIME'S A CHARM, WILEY.

>> Wiley: THERE IT IS.

OH, WHAT HANDS FROM CARRINGTON MYERS.

>> THE CONCENTRATION AND GOING TO THE GROUND AND THE TWO-YARD PLAY, NOT AS EXCITING AS IT COULD BE BUT THE TITANS HERE, BEND DON'T BREAK WITH THE PRESSURE AND YES, THE WOLFPACK HAVE HAD SUCCESS.

>> Wiley: THIRD DOWN AND 12, AND.

7 FOR 7 AND KEPT HER PERFECT COMPLETION PROGRESSESSAGE INTACT, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF YARDS.

AND GETTING THE CENTER INVOLVED, EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE.

>> Dave: A BRIEF SECOND EARLIER ON, THEY HAVE THE OPEN SPACE THERE.

A NICE JOB GETTING INVOLVED IN THE PASSING GAME.

>> Wiley: LOOKS LIKE GREENBRIER WILL PLAY FIELD POSITION AND THEY HAVE DECLARED THAT THEY WILL PUNT.

AND THERE ARE NO FAKES IN FLAG FOOTBALL.

>> Dave: ONE THING YOU MIGHT SEE IS YOU HAVE A DEFENDER IN FRONT OF THE SNAP ON HER SIDE OF THE BALL AND SHE WILL JUMP UP.

NEITHER TEAM CAN CROSS THEIR ZONE UNTIL THE BALL IS KICKS.

>> Wiley: THE PRESS FROM McDERMOTT INTO THE END ZONE AND THAT'S A TOUCHBACK.

>> Dave: THEY ARE MARKING THE 4 YARD LINE.

>> Wiley: I BEG YOUR PARDON.

>> Dave: PRETTY GOOD, NO KICK.

>> Wiley: GOOD CATCH.

ALL RIGHT.

SO IT WILL BE FIRST AND 16 HERE FOR NORTH OCONEE'S OFFENSE.

COOPER, LOOKING LEFT AND TAKING A DEEP SHOT.

SHE HAS ONE-ON-ONE COVERAGE AND THAT PASS IS OVERTHROWN AND LOOKING FOR SOLODKII SO LET'S INTRODUCE THEIR STARTERS.

BOONE, THE SOPHOMORE AND AALIYAH SILVER, AND CAMPANARO, ALREADY INVOLVED, AND THERE IS YOUR LINEUP.

ELIZABETH PATTERSON, COULDN'T MAKE THE CATCH IS.

>> Dave: THE WOLFPACK, JUST 6-0 AND JUST CALM DOWN A BIT.

COOPER, IF YOU CAN PUT CALM DOWN, TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

>> Wiley: SHE IS 0 -8 AND LAST YEAR, SHE STOOD UP AND SAID, HEY, WE ARE COMING BACK AND THEY ARE COMING BACK BUT IT'S AFTER A TOUGH START FOR NORTH OCONEE.

THEY HAVE YET TO GAIN A YARD OFFENSIVELY.

ANOTHER PUNT COMING, KYLER HAMMOND.

AND SILVER WILL TAKE IT ACROSS MIDFIELD AND RACING DOWN AND THE NUMBERS SPIN AND THE FLAGS ARE STILL ON AND PULLED JUST SHY OF THAT PAINTED 30 YARD LINE AND ONE TITAN IS A LITTLE SLOW GETTING UP.

>> Dave: THIS SHOWS YOU WHERE IT'S THE MOST TALENTED PLAYER WITH THE ABILITY TO PLAY UP FIELD AND THE SHIFTY HIPS AND GET AROUND THE FLAG PULLERS.

AND GREENBRIER TAKING THE PLUS OUT OF THE FIELD HERE.

>> Wiley: TITANS ARE TAKING A KNEE WITH ONE OF THEIR TEAMMATES GETTING ATTENTION ON THE FIELD AND BEING HELPED OFF NOW.

THAT IS BLAKE WIEPKING.

HER FATHER SCOTT IS THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR NORTH OCONEE, MAYBE FRIENDLY FIRE HERE.

>> Dave: DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT, THAT SPEED AND HOPEFULLY, SHE WILL FIND A WAY TO GET BACK ON THE FIELD QUICKLY.

>> Wiley: SO IT'S FIRST AND TWO, AND YOU NEED ONLY TWO YARDS FOR A NEW SET OF GROUNDS AND KENZIE'S FIRST INCOMPLETION OF THE DAY FOR KENZIE HORTON.

LOOKING FOR PRESLEY McDERMOTT.

GREENBRIER HAS A CHANCE TO PUT DISTANCE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND NORTH OCONEE, AND KEEP IN MIND, DAVE, THIS IS A GREENBRIER TEAM THAT HAS NOT GIVEN UP MULTIPLE SCORES IN A GAME, AT LEAST ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE, SINCE OCTOBER 15th.

THEY DID GIVE UP 13 POINTS IN THE SEMIFINAL AND ONE OF THOSE TOUCHDOWNS WAS A PICK SIX.

THE PITCH BACK AND NORTON'S PASS IS INTERCEPTED AND DROPPED!

OH, MY GOODNESS.

WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY THERE, ANNISTON SCOTT WAS RIGHT THERE TO MAKE THE PLAY.

>> Dave: REALLY DIFFERENT FORMATION RIGHT THERE WITH HORTON SPREAD OUT WIDE AND DROPPED BACK WITH THE BACKWARD PASS AND CONTINUING TO GET DIFFERENT LOOKS BY THE GREENBRIER OFFENSE.

>> Wiley: THAT WAS 35, EXCUSE ME, ELIZABETH PATTERSON, NOT 25.

>> Dave: PATTERSON, A PHENOMENAL BASKETBALL PLAYER AND WILL CATCH THAT ONE.

>> Wiley: YOU CAN HEAR HER SCREAMING, I HAD THAT.

AND NOW, THIRD DOWN AND TWO.

LOOKS LIKE A TIME-OUT COMING SHY OF THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING CALLED BY GREENBRIER.

>> Dave: A LITTLE MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE HAD HUDDLE AND COACH JORDAN.

TIME-OUT, THIRD DOWN TERRITORY.

>> Wiley: SO FAR, NORTH OCONEE'S DEFENSE, THEY HAVE BROKEN UP A COUPLE, A DROP AND A BROKEN-UP PASS.

>> Dave: AND THE TITAN DEFENSE, JUST KEEP DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING AND KEEP DOING WHAT GOT US HERE AND A LITTLE PLAY HERE AND THERE, AND THE OVERALL NET RESULT IS WE ARE RIGHT WHERE WE WANT TO BE HERE AND GET OFF THE FIELD HERE AND TAKE THE LAST DRIVE FOR GREENBRIER AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

>> Wiley: COACH O'MARA SHOWING OFF HER CREDENTIAL AROUND THE COLLAR.

AND A D SHOT.

SILVER BEHIND THE DEFENSE AND CAN'T BRING IT IN.

THAT WILL BRING UP FOURTH DOWN.

THAT WILL TAKE US TO THE TWO-MINUTE TIME-OUT.

>> Dave: NICE JOB GETTING THE HANDS UP THERE.

NUMBER 18, KELLY, JUST FINDING THE BALL WATCHING THE OPPONENT'S EYEBALL THOUGH HE WAS BEHIND THE DEFENSE.

>> Wiley: THIS TWO-MINUTE TIME-OUT, AND LET'S GO TO HAVE JON NELSON ON THE SIDELINE.

>> LET'S BETWEEN THE STORY OF COACH O'MARA.

SHE IS A SCIENCE TEACH OR CAMPUS AND SHE HAS TO JUGGLE BEING A BASEBALL MOM BECAUSE ALL OF HER SONS PLAY BASEBALL.

SHE HAS TO MAKE SURE THEY GET TO ALL OF THEIR BASEBALL GAMES AND PRACTICES AND SUCH AND BE A SCIENCE TEACHER AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FLAG FOOTBALL TEAM GETS IN THEIR PRACTICES.

SO PART OF THE ADJUSTMENTS, THEY DECIDED TO HAVE PRACTICE AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS.

THEY TOOK TO IT.

IT WAS AN EARLY WAKE-UP CALL YOU ABOUT THEY ARE ENJOYING THAT IDEA OF PRACTICING EARLY IN THE MORNING TO GET THEIR DAY STARTED AND IT HAS GOTTEN THEM THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR.

>> Wiley: ENJOYING WAKE UP AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING?

>> ENJOY THAT, BROTHER.

>> Wiley: I CAN'T DO THAT, AND COACH O'MARA HAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HER DEFENSE TO MAKE A BIG STOP.

IT'S 6-0, DAVE, FOR GREENBRIER, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO STAY WITHIN ONE SCORE AND NORTH OCONEE HAS A CHANCE TO GET OFF THE FIELD.

>> Dave: BIG PLAY, FOURTH AND TWO AND TO YOUR POINT, GET OFF THE FIELD.

>> Wiley: HERE WE GO.

AND IT GOES TO CARRINGTON MYERS.

THE FLAG IS PULLED.

DID SHE GET THE FIRST?

YES, SHE DID AND THE CLOCK WILL STOP MOMENTARILY AS THEY RESET THE CONE.

>> Dave: NICE JOB TO EXTEND THE FOOTBALL AND GET THE FIRST DOWN AGAIN.

WHEN THE FLAG IS PULLED, THE BALL IS SPOTTED.

NICE JOB TO GET THE EXTRA YARDS BY THE FORWARD.

>> Wiley: KENZIE HORTON TAKES THE SNAP AND WILL STEP UP TRYING TO WEAVE THROUGH, AND NORTH OCONEE SNIFFING OUT THE SCRAMBLE, QUICKLY.

THE CLOCK IS RUNNING AT 90 SECONDS.

SECOND AND GOAL.

COACH DANIEL JORDAN, MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK THE SLOWER PACE HERE, DON'T WANT TO GIVE NORTH OCONEE ANY TIME LEFT IN THE FIRST HALF.

IT WILL BE TITAN FOOTBALL TO BEGIN THE SECOND HALF.

HORTON HAS BEEN SHARP IN THE FIRST HALF.

THROW IS OVER THE MIDDLE, INCOMPLETE AND THEN A PITCH.

HORTON COMPLETED IT TO LESTER AND THEN IT WAS FLIPPED TO MAMIE CATE PANGLE.

THAT'S A CRITICAL PART OF RUNNING THE OFFENSIVE FLAG FOOTBALL, DAVE.

IT HITS SO QUICKLY >> Dave: THE WIDE RECEIVERS, McDERMOTT AND THEN TO FIND LESTER TO GET INVOLVED.

I EXPECT COACH JORDAN TO RUN OUT THE GAME CLOCK AND PLAY CLOCK AND ONLY TWO PLAYS OFFENSIVELY LEFT.

>> Wiley: HERE IS THE TIME OUT CALLED BY GREENBRIER.

SO YOU HAVE JON NELSON NEAR THE GREENBRIER HUDDLE.

FOR NORTH OCONEE, THIS IS A BIG OPPORTUNITY TO JUST STAY IN THE GAME.

WITH THE WAY THAT GREENBRIER PLAYS DEFENSE, IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE YOU WILL FACE A TWO-SCORE DEFICIT AND COME BACK.

NOT IMPOSSIBLE BUT IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT NO TEAM THIS YEAR HAS DONE AGAINST GREENBRIER.

>> Dave: THE MESSAGE FOR THE TITAN DEFENSE, JUST DO YOUR JOB AND KEEP APPLYING THE PRESSURE AND CULLING THE FLAGS, FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME, AND KEEP DOING WHAT THE TITAN DEFENSE HAS GOT YOU HERE.

>> Wiley: 24 SECONDS, THE CLOCK WILL STOP ON THE INCOMPLETION.

AND TIME-OUT FOR GREENBRIER, LESTER READY TO SNAP.

HORTON WITH IT AND ACROSS THE FIELD AND THE PASS IS TOO TALL.

SHE WAS LOOKING FOR NAME KATE PANGLE, LESTER TO MYERS, TO HORTON AND NOW, FOURTH DOWN AND 18 SECONDS LEFT.

THE BALL AT THE 10 YARD LINE.

>> Dave: WHERE YOU PUT UP HORTON PRESNAP YOU CAN GET TO HER AND USE THE MASSIVE ARM THAT SHE HAS.

>> Wiley: LINED UP IN THE DIAMOND FORMATION WITH THREE RECEIVERS TO THE LEFT.

AND TRYING TO THAT OFF, AND THAT WAS AN INADVERTENT WHISTLE I BELIEVE.

OH, THEY ARE GOING TO SAY -- NO.

THE RUNNER WAS DOWN BEFORE SHE HANDED OFF THE FOOTBALL.

I DON'T KNOW WITH THAT, DAVE >> Dave: LET'S SEE HOW GOOD THE CAMERA WORK IS HERE ON THE REPLAY.

>> Wiley: IT WILL BE NORTH OCONEE BALL.

>> Dave: GOOD CALL BY SEAN SCHUMACHER, HEAD REFEREE.

>> Wiley: THE RUSH FROM LEXI FAVREAU, AND THAT'S THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

SO NORTH OCONEE, THEY GAIN ONLY TWO YARDS OFFENSIVELY IN THAT FIRST HALF AND TRAIL ONLY 6-0 AND LET'S GO DOWN TO JON NELSON JOINED BY GREENBRIER'S HEAD COACH.

>> THANK YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR TAKE AWAY FROM THE FIRST HALF?

>> WE HAD A GREAT FIRST HALF AND THEY ARE A DANGEROUS TEAM WHEN THEY THROW AND CATCH BUT THE KEY IS WE HAVE TO GET IN THE END ZONE A COUPLE MORE TIMES I THINK.

>> THE OFFENSE --THE DEFENSE IS BEYOND STOUT.

I HAVE RUN OUT OF ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE IT BUT THE OFFENSE, TRYING TO MASSAGE WHAT YOU CAN DO AND CAN'T THAT'S THE BIG THING >> THEY HAVE DONE A BIG JOB COVERAGING COVERAGES AND GIVING US SOME CONFUSION AND NOT DOING WHAT WE LIKE TO DO AND WE MADE A BUNCH OF MISTAKES AND THEY ARE A GOOD TEAM.

>> WE'LL SEE YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

>> THAT IS THE EARLY RETURNS FROM GREENBRIER.

WHEN WE COME BACK, THE HALFTIME SHOW HERE FROM THE MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM, THE FLAG DII FINAL.

>> ALL WINNERS OF THE GHSA AWARDS EXHIBIT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ALL ASPECTS OF SPORTSMANSHIP MAKING THE AWARDS A TRIBUTE TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY N 2006, THE GHSA PHILOSOPHY IS THAT EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES SHOULD REPRESENT THE VALUES.

THE 35 GEORGIA ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP COOPERATIVE ARE PROUD TO SPONSOR THE AWARDS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS THIS YEAR.

BE.

> >> HEY, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO THE GPB SPORTS HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGENTS BANK.

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ALL WEEK LONG AND IT'S HALFTIME AT THE DIVISION II GAME BETWEEN GREENBRIER AND OCONEE.

THE WOLFPACK LEADING THE TITANS AND GREENBRIER TRYING TO DEFEND FROM LAST YEAR AND OCONEE IS LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST TITLE.

TIME FOR THE GEORGIA PLAYER SPOTLIGHT.

WE ARE FEATURING DIVER ELIZABETH ANN HOBBY.

LANDING ON THE WATER AT 34 MILES PER HOUR EVERY MOVE HAS TO BE FLAWLESS.

THROUGH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, SHE HAS NAILED IT.

HERE'S HER STORY.

>> THE PLATFORM IS A DIFFICULT EVENT.

WHEN YOU DIVE OFF, YOU ARE SAID TO GO GOING 34 MILES PER HOUR AND IT'S LIKE HITTING CONCRETE AND IS HAS TO BE TIGHT AND PRECISE AND STRONG WHEN YOU HIT THE WATER.

>> MY GYMNASTICS BACKGROUND HAS HELPED A LOT TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE PLATFORM.

I GOT IN THE SCORE VERY, VERY LATE CONSIDERING HOW LONG EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN BEING IT BUT THE BEST PART IS BEING ON TOP OF THE PODIUM.

IT'S JUST A REALLY GOOD FEELING.

>> CONGRATULATIONS, ELIZABETH ANN AND THANK YOU FOR FEATURING ANOTHER AMAZING FEMALE ATHLETE.

WE HAVE INCREDIBLE FEMALE ATHLETES PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL AND ONE IN THE BOOKS AND ONE GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH JON NELSON.

>> COACH, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH NORTH OCONEE.

WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING ON IN THE FIELD IN THE FIRST 20 MINUTES?

>> THE FIRST 20 MINUTES, THEY WERE CATCHING THEIR WITS ABOUT THEM, AND THE DEFENSE CAME OUT AND PLAYED LIGHTS OUT AND OFFENSIVELY WE HAVE TO CALM DOWN AND GET OUT THERE AND PLAY THE BALL THAT WE KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

>> WHAT WAS THAT LIKE THIS ENTIRE WEEK KNOWING YOU WERE CHASING AFTER ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP?

IF YOUR FIRST YEAR AS HEAD COACH, I KNOW YOU WERE AN ASSISTANT BUT WHAT IS THE RIDE LIKE TO GET HERE?

>> THE RIDE'S BEEN SCHOOL AND WE SET THE STANDARD EARLY ON IN THE BABY IS --SEASON WHAT WE WANTED TO DO >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND GOOD LUCK IN THE SECOND 20.

AND THAT IS THE STORY FROM NORTH OCONEE >> YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, JON.

WHAT IS YOUR ASSESSMENT FROM THE FIRST HALF?

HOW ABOUT THE WOLFPACK DEFENSE?

>> AND WE MENTIONED THE ZEROS ON SCHEDULE AND A LOT OF WINS FOR GREENBRIER AND A LOT OF ZEROS DEFENSIVELY AND IT WAS STAGGERING TO SEE THAT AND NORTH OCONEE HAD THEIR MOMENTS AND IT WAS JUST ABOUT CLOSING IT DOWN AND YOU GETTING OVER THE SCORELINE, AND THEY WERE GETTING CLOSE AND GETTING CLOSE AND KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, AND YOU CAN SEE THE PULL ON THE OTHER SIDE FROM GREENBRIER.

THEY ARE NOT INTIMIDATED BY THE SURROUNDINGS, AND THE COACHING STAFF IS MAKING SURE THEY ARE DOING MATH AND GETTING THE TIMES RIGHT TO WHERE THEY ARE NOT IN A RUSH.

RUSH BUT DON'T HURRY OR HURRY BUT DON'T RUSH.

I FORGET THE JOHN WOODEN QUOTE BUT YOU LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SEEING FROM NORTH OCONEE >> WHAT IS THE ATTITUDE?

>> WELL, IT'S THE LAST ONE OUT TURN OUT THE LIGHTS AND THEY ARE GOING FOR THE DAILY DOUBLE.

IT'S INTERESTING HOW MANY FOLKS ARE HERE NOW AND HOW MANY WILL SHOW UP LATER, AND THE CLASS DAII.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THAT AND IT'S FUN TO SEE HOW THE TOWNS WRAP THEIR EXPERIENCE INTO BEING THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMING HERE, STAY AND WATCH THE ENTIRE WEEK.

>>THANK YOU, JON.

IT'S QUIET HERE NOW AND TELL GET LOUD.

FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG ALL WEEK.

AND ANOTHER REGIONS HALFTIME SHOW IN THE BOOKS AND YOU CAN FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND IN THE GPB APP.

C1 >> Wiley: IT'S TIME FOR THE SECOND HALF, DIVISION II CHAMPIONSHIP AND WE WELCOME YOU IN THE BROADCAST BOOTH WITH FLAG FOOTBALL ANALYST DAVE REYNOLDS AND I'M WILEY BALLARD, AND OCONEE ONLY DOWN 6-0.

>> Dave: THE YARDS HERE OF OFFENSE FOR NORTH OCONEE AND YOU ARE FROM BOGART AND YOU TALK ABOUT THE WOLFPACK DEFENSE BEING SO STINGY WITH THE LOW NUMBERS AND THE PASSES THERE AND A BUNCH OF RECEIVERS HERE WHO CAN PLAY CATCH AND GET UP IN THE FIELD AND IT COULD BE THE TALE OF TWO HALVES, AND WE WILL FINISH IN THE LAST 40 MINUTES OF FLAG FOOTBALL.

>> Wiley: NORTH OCONEE, AFTER DEFERRING IN THE FIRST HALF, AROUND THE LEFT SIDE AND THAT IS TACKLED FOR A LOSS.

A FEROCIOUS RUN DOWN.

THAT WAS ARI BOONE WITH A TACKLE FOR LOSS AND THERE WAS NOT A WHOLE LOT THAT KELLY COULD DO.

AND NOW A DROPPED BALL BACK AT THE 2 YARD LINE.

AND THIS IS NOT THE START THAT OCONEE HAD PLANNED IN THEIR LOCKER ROOM.

>> Dave: NOT GOING TO DIE ON THE BALL FOR THE FUMBLE.

AND NOT THE AREA OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD TO BE DROPPING.

>> Wiley: DROP ONE HERE, TWO POINT WITH GREENBRIER AND CAUGHT CLEAN AND THE IMMEDIATE PULL AND NORTH OCONEE STILL WITHOUT THE FIRST DOWN.

>> Dave: NICE JOB, THIRD DOWN AND FOREVER AND A POSITIVE PLAY AND HEY, BY THE WAY, A LONG COACHING TREE FOR THE STEWART FAMILY, AND THAT IS AT LEAST SOME POSITIVE OFFENSIVE YARDS THERE THOUGH IT WAS 3-OUT.

>> Wiley: PANGLE WAS RIGHT THERE.

SEE WHERE THEY SHOT IT AND GREENBRIER TAKES OVER, THAT OPENING DRIVE, 90 SECONDS FOR NORTH OCONEE AND COACH O'MARA.

>> Dave: TACKLE IN THE BACKFIELD AND THE FUMBLE, AND THE PUNT NOT COMPLETELY UP THE FIELD, AND THE WOLFPACK WITH THE SHORT LINE, AND THE FIRST DOWN AT THE 40 YARD LINE.

>> Wiley: KENZIE HORTON, THE GOOD FIRST HALF AND SILVER WITH THE BIG-TIME PULL.

A 12-YARD GAIN FOR SILVER BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A WHOLE LOT MORE.

>> Dave: THE TITANS DEFENSE, AND SHE HAS TIME TO TAKE A WART THE DEFENSE, AND THE IMPACT PLAY THERE ACROSS THE MIDDLE.

>> Wiley: THE FIRST AND 10 AND THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE 20 AND IN FLAG FOOTBALL TERMS, IT'S 30 ON THIS FLAG FOOTBALL FIELD.

HORTON FLOATS ONE IN COMPLETE.

LOOKING FOR MAGGIE PANGLE THAT TIME.

>> Dave: STAYING IN THE BLOCK, AND YOU HAVE ALL KINDS OF TIME THERE FOR A QUARTERBACK TO SCAN THE FIELD AND FIND SOMEONE OPEN.

>> Wiley: WE MENTIONED GREENBRIER'S DEFENSE AND THEY WORK THE PLAY CLOCK ON OFFENSE, SHORTENS THE GAIN.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO TOUGH TO SCORE AND COACH JORDAN WANTS A TIME-OUT.

DEFINITE NOT LIKE THE LOOK.

>> Dave: A BIG RULE CHANGE ADDING THREE TIME OUTS AND YOU CAN USE MORE TO GET THE PASS AND YOU ONLY HAVE THREE TIME OUTS PER HALF.

>> Wiley: GREENBRIER LEADING, TRYING TO DEFEND THEIR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FROM A YEAR AGO.

AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF RETURNING PLAYERS IN THERE AS WELL, KENZIE HORTON, AALIYAH SILVER.

>> Dave: THEIR FACES AND HOW CALM THEY ARE AND YOU KNOW, BIG DAY AND BRIGHT LIGHT AND JUST LOVE TO PLAY FLAG FOOTBALL.

>> Wiley: A HEAD FULL OF STEAM AND HERE COMES MAMIE CATE PANGLE, AND I TELL YOU THAT BLAKE WIEPKING IS HAVING NONE OF IT.

>> Dave: IF YOU CAN PULL THE FLAG THE FIRST TIME T MIGHT SOUND SIMPLE AND SEEM LIKE A DUH MOMENT.

SURE, DAVE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

BUT IF YOU MESS THAT, SOMEONE WIDE OPEN.

>> Wiley: YOU GET DOWN ON FIRST SECOND AND THIRD DOWN YARDAGE, PRESLEY McDERMOTT AND MOVES THE CHAINS FOR AN 11-YARD GAIN.

>> Dave: REALLY A GOOD JOB.

AND JUST FINDING THE SPACE TO GET OPEN.

AND AGAIN, A SURE-HANDED SENIOR AND TARGETS HORTON AND GIVES HER A SECOND TO FIND THE SPACE AND PLAY CATCH.

>> Wiley: FIRST AND GOAL FOR GREENBRIER, THE BALL AT THE 18 YARD LINE, AND THE DOUBLE PITCH AND IT DROPS.

AND MAMIE CATE PANGLE COULDN'T HANG ON TO IT.

LOOKS LIKE LEXI FAVREAU WOULD BE THERE ANYWAY TO MAKE THE PLAY.

DAVE, ISN'T THERE SUCH THING AS A IF YOU MEANLE?

EVERY TIME IT TOUCHES THE GROUND, IT'S DEAD.

>> Dave: TECHNICALLY PROBABLY NOT A FUMBLE.

>> Wiley: IF YOU WERE TO INTERCEPT --SO LONG IT'S NOT YOU OR ME RUNNING.

SECOND AND GOAL FROM THE 20 AND OVER THE MIDDLE AND WHAT A CATCH!

MAMIE CATE PANGLE WITH THE HANDS AND IT IS A TWO-SCORE GAME, 21-YARD TOUCHDOWN.

>> Dave: LOOKS LIKE IT GOES LEFT AND HIGH POINTS THE BALL, IN TRAFFIC, AND A VERY PHYSICAL PLAY.

THE GOING ACROSS THE LINE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> Wiley: GREENBRIER WILL GO FOR THREE AND YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF ONE, TWO, OR THREE AND THERE IS A LOOK AT THE DRIVE SUMMARY.

YOU GET TO THREE AND OUT ON DEFENSE.

AND THEN TOUCHDOWN.

AND OH, KENZIE HORTON TAKEN DOWN.

AND SHE LOOKS LIKE HE'S HURT.

LEXI FAVREAU APPLYING THE PRESSURE.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THERE.

ALMOST LIKE SHE GOT THE THROWING ARM CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING.

EVEN LEXI FAVREAU IS A LITTLE SHAKEN UP.

HERE'S A LOOK AT IT.

THE ELBOW TO THE FOREHEAD.

>> Dave: COACH WON'T BE HAPPY.

THE RULES ARE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLAG AND TABLING FOOTBALL.

EVEN IF THE DEFENDER'S HANDS ARE UP AND SHE HITS THE CONTACT OR THE QUARTERBACK'S ARM, THAT WOULD BE THE PASSER AND I AM OKAY WITH SEAN SCHUMACHER ON THE PASS BUT NOT THE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE CONTACT.

>> Wiley: LOOKS LIKE SHE GETTING THE RIGHT ARM AND ELBOW LOOKED AT.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE KENZIE HORTON WILL BE HELPED OFF THE FIELD GRABBING AT HER RIGHT ELBOW AND ONE MORE LOOK HERE.

>> Dave: YOU PLAYED BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL AND YOU KNOW GETTING THE ARM HIT WHEN THE ARM IS EXPOSED LIKE THAT AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IS A COSTLY INTERACTION WITH THE QUARTERBACK.

>> Wiley: THE WAY THAT THEY PLAY DEFENSE, TWO-SCORE LEAD AND NORTH OCONEE FACING A SERIOUS CHALLENGE AND HAVE TO GET SOMETHING TO GO.

KENZIE HORTON, THROWN 121 YARDS FOR GREENBRIER.

HOPE SHE IS OKAY, THE SENIOR, BANGED UP, AND RIGHT SIDE ALL OF A SUDDEN, FELT LIKE ADDIE STEWART WAS DOWN BUT HER FLAG WAS NOT PULLED.

THE FIRST COMPLETION AND FIRST FIRST DOWN FOR OCONEE, JUST A LITTLE MOMENTUM, DRAFF.

>> Dave: YOU STILL HAVE TIME ON THE GAME.

>> Wiley: AND A SACK, TEAMING UP FOR IT.

THAT WAS ARI BOONE AND DARCY BRIDWELL AS THEY JUST SWALLOWED UP CATHERINE COOPER.

LOSS OF FOUR, SECOND DOWN AND 18.

A PUMP FAKE AND NOW A DEEP BALL INCOMPLETE.

GOOD DEFENSE ON THE BACK END BY MAYING PANGLE.

>> Dave: THEY HAVE THE OPTION AND THEY PRACTICED THAT BEFORE WITH A NICE JOB OF GETTING THE EYEBALLS AROUND AND GETTING THE HANDS UP.

AND COMPETITIVE THERE AT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION.

>> Wiley: GOING BACK DEEP AND THAT IS SHORT TARGETING ADDIE STEWART, FOURTH DOWN AND LONG AND NORTH OCONEE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.

BUT IT WILL BE A PUNT FROM KYLER HAMMOND, AND THE STORY FOR NORTH OCONEE AND THE STORY FOR EVERYBODY PLAYING GREENBRIER THIS YEAR, UNABLE TO MOVE THE FOOTBALL.

ON THE SIDELINE AND OH, ACROSS MIDFIELD.

MAGGIE PANGLE WITH THE HOLT HAND.

>> Dave: SUPER ATHLETE AND A SUPER TALENTED SOCCER PLAYER WITH A NICE JOB OF BEING ELUSIVE TO GET TO THE WOLFPACK ON THE PLUS SIDE TO START THIS SIDE.

>> Wiley: WE'LL SEE IF KENZIE HORTON WILL COME OUT OR NOT AND IT LOOKS LIKE ADDISON ODOM, THE FRESHMAN, 22 WITH THE RED HAIR, IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WILL BE THE QUARTERBACK FOR GREENBRIER, AND THE GOOD NEWS FOR THE WOLFPACK IS THEY HAVE A TWO-SCORE LEAD WITH A QUARTER AND 45 SECONDS TO PLAY.

SO FIRST DOWN AND 17 AND A DEEP SHOT AND OH, SHE HAD PANGLE OPEN.

IT HITS THE GROUND, INCOMPLETE AND LET'S GO DOWN TO JON NELSON >> KENZIE HORTON IS UNDER THE TEMPT.

THEY WERE I KNOW CHECKING RANGE OF MOTION AND CHECKING FLEXIBILITY, AND CHECKING GRIP AND SHE WAS CLOSING AND OPENING HER HAND AND RIGHT NOW SHE HAS THE FOOTBALL IN HER RIGHT COMMAND AND WE'LL GIVE IT A TRY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> Wiley: ONE THROW AND THAT LOOKS REASONABLY SMOOTH AND YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK ON HER FACE AND THAT IS THE END OF THE THIRD QUARTER, GREENBRIER, A TWO-SCORE LEAD AND 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM REPEATING AS STATE CHAMPIONS IN FLAG FOOTBALL.

>> Wiley: THE START OF THE FOURTH, DIVISION II, FLAG FOOTBALL, GREENBRIER, A 12-0 LEAD ON NORTH OCONEE.

THE STORY SO FAR TODAY HAS BEEN THE PASS GAME OF GREENBRIER.

WE HAVE TWO QUARTERBACKS, KENZIE HORTON ON THE RIGHT WENT DOWN WITH INJURY ON THE POINT-AFTER TRY AFTER TOUCHDOWN AND THE FRESHMAN ADDISON ODOM WHO HAS PLAYED SOME AND SHE NOT TOTALLY GREEN.

>> Dave: HOW ABOUT THE FIRST PLAY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP?

A GREAT PLAY CALL FOR HER, MAYBE THE ONLY OF THE BALL GAME.

>> Wiley: THEY'LL HAVE MAYBE KATE PANGLE IN AT QUARTERBACK AND THE FLAG FROM BEHIND AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE WERE SNAPPING THE BALL WITH ODOM AND HORTON ON THE SIDELINE BUT MAMIE CATE PANGLE WITH THE SNAP, AND THEN THE CALL FROM SEAN STEVENSON OR SCHUMACHER.

>> Referee: ILLEGAL CONTACT, ON THE OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY, REPLAY SECOND DOWN.

>> Wiley: BACKED UP TO THE 36 YARD LINE, SECOND AND 24, AND THE CLOCK IS THE BIGGEST DETERRENT FOR NORTH OCONEE.

>> Dave: COACH JORDAN BEING REALLY SMART WITH THE FOOT BALL AND DON'T FORCE ANYTHING.

>> Wiley: SECOND AND LONG AND AGAIN, KILLING THE CLOCK.

AND KENZIE HORTON IS BACK IN AND TESTING OUT THE ARM IMMEDIATELY AND IT WAS BROKEN UP, ALMOST A JAIL BREAK, THOUGH, FOR ANNISTON SCOTT.

AND NORTH OCONEE GETTING A BIG PLAY AND GETTING IT ON DEFENSE.

LOOK AT HOW CLOSE THIS WAS.

>> Dave: AWFUL RISKY AND PLAYING ALMOST WITHIN A GAME AND A HALF.

>> Wiley: YOU WONDER HOW MUCH ARM STRENGTH SHE HAS AFTER THE ELBOW WAS BANGED UP.

AND NOW, TIME-OUT, GREEN PRIOR.

THIS WILL BE THEIR SECOND.

HOW LONG IS THE PLAY CLOCK?

>> Dave: PLAY CLOCK IS 25 SECONDS AND NOT WHAT WE ARE USED TO IN TAG FOOTBALL, AND THE REFEREE WILL MOVE THE TWO LINE OF SCRIMMAGES BACK OUT AND THEN BLOW THE WHISTLE.

SO TIME IS ON THE SIDE OF GREENBRIER WOLFPACK.

>> Wiley: NORTH OCONEE DEFENSE WITH HIS DAUGHTER BLAKE WEARING NUMBER ONE AT THE LINEBACKER SPOT.

JUST OVER EIGHT MINUTES LEFT IN THE FIRST FOURTH ANSWERED AND KENZIE HORTON BACK IN.

SHE IS LINED UP AS A RECEIVER AND NOW, TAKEN THE CROSS AND THE RUSH.

CARRINGTON MYERS AND THAT LOOKS LIKE A CONSERVATIVE PLAY CALL TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING CRAZY HAPPENS.

GREENBRIER WILL PRESUMABLY PUNT HERE ON FOURTH DOWN AND 22.

AND THEY WILL.

AND THE WAY NORTH OCONEE'S OFFENSE IS, I DON'T THINK GREENBRIER IS TOO WORRIED.

>> Dave: MAKE IT CHALLENGING FOR THE TITAN OFFENSE.

>> Wiley: IT'S ARI BOONE PUNTING DOWN AND THE CHANCE TO MAKE TIG HAPPEN AND NORTH OCONEE UP THE LEFT SIDELINE AND TRIPPING OVER THE SIDELINE BUT MAKING THE PULL, WELL DONE BY LEXI AND IT FEELS LIKE DO OR DIE TIME HERE, DAVE.

ALL THREE TIME OUTS LEFT.

>> Dave: MAYBE A LITTLE MISCOMMUNICATION.

>> Wiley: HERE IS HERRON, THE NICE DI DEFENDER BUT IT'S SOPHIE CAMPANARO, AND THEY COULD CONCEIVABLY GET THE BALL BACK.

THE PICK UP OF FOUR YARDS AND NEED TO MOVE THE FOOTBALL HIRE.

>> Wiley: THIS PRETTY MUCH IS COMPLETE, STRETCHING FORWARD, ANSLEE SOLODKII BRINGS UP SECOND DOWN WITH THE BALL AT THE 31 ON THE 80-YARD TACKLE FIELD OR FLAG FIELD.

COOPER, BACK TO THE CENTER, KYLER HAMMOND AND HER FLAG IS PULLED QUICKLY.

MAMIE CATE PANGLE ON THE STOP AND THEY ARE JUST FORCING NORTH OCONEE TO USE THE CLOCK HERE.

AT SOME POINT, THEY HAVE TO TAKE A DEEP SHOT.

AND COOPER SHOE STRING CATCH AND BROUGHT IN BY ELIZABETH PATTERSON 5.

5 AND WILL BE A NEW SET OF DOWNS.

>> Dave: WHAT WE ARE SEEING ON OFFENSE FOR NORTH OCONEE IF THE PERSON GETS THEIR FLAG PULLED, THEY ARE COMING OUT WITH SUBS IN.

>> Wiley: FAST TEMPERATUREY ON OFFENSE AND ANOTHER CATCH AND SOLODKII MAKING THE MOVES DOWN FIELD.

>> Dave: SHE IS SHOWING YOU WHAT SHE DOES.

>> Wiley: THEY HAVE A LONG WAYS TO RUN BACK HERE.

>> Dave: CATHERINE COOPER, A LITTLE MORE AND YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF THE SHOT THERE.

>> Wiley: BROKEN UP BY LEXI LACEY, AND THE PASS AND INTERCEPTED.

LACEY, THE OTHER WAY AND THEY'LL SAY SHE WAS DOWN.

BUT IT IS INTERCEPTED AND THERE ARE HUGS ALL AROUND AND GREENBRIER FEELS LIKE THEY CAN TASTE IT, AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS IN THEIR GRASP, AND LEXI LACEY.

>> Dave: VERY HIGH IQ BY THE JUNIOR, AND LOOK AT THAT, A MASSIVE INTERCEPTION ON A MASSIVE STAGE ON A MASSIVE DAY.

>> Wiley: IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE RULED HER DOWN ON HER KNEES.

IS THAT THE RULING, DAVE?

>> Dave: THE RULING IS SHE WAS DOWN WHEN SHE CAUGHT THE BALL.

>> Wiley: GREENBRIER AND KENZIE HORTON, COMPLETES THE SHOT, AND PICK WITH McDERMOTT AND GREENBRIER HEARD FROM FIRM CONTROL AND RELISHING THIS MOMENT HERE.

>> Dave: CONTINUING TO IMPOSE THEIR WILL, AND THEY MIGHT SAY LET'S SLOW THIS THING DOWN AND TAKE THE CLOCK OUT OF THE WHOLE THING, AND LET'S PICK UP A COUPLE MORE.

>> Wiley: 28-YARD CATCH, AND GREENBRIER WILL ESSENTIALLY BE ABLE TO RUN THIS ONE OUT.

THERE IS A TWO-MINUTE WARNING, AND NORTH OCONEE WILL HAVE TWO TIME OUTS AND IT LOOKS LIKE NORTH OCONEE WILL START TAKING THE TIME OUTS.

>> Dave: THE CHALLENGE IS YOU HAVE NO ONSIDE KICK AND ONCE YOU SCORE, AND THAT MAKES IT VERY TOUGH.

THE TITAN DEFENSE, LOOKING FOR A MISTAKE OUT OF THE WOLFPACK.

>> Wiley: IF YOU ARE GREENBRIER, NO REASON TO PUT THE BALL IN THE AIR.

RIGHT?

>> Dave: RUN, BABY, RUN.

>> Wiley: 2.

5 MINUTES AWAY FROM THEIR 16th SHUTOUT AND THEY HAVE PLAYED JUST 22 GAMES.

AALIYAH SILVER, LEFT SIDE.

AND THE PULL BY ANNISTON SCOTT.

NORTH OCONEE WILL GO DOWN TO THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING.

NO, THEY ARE NOT.

THERE IS ANOTHER TIME-OUT.

>> Dave: NUMBER TWO, SILVER, JUST KEEP THE HIPS MOVING AND BE ELUSIVE FOR THE DEFENDER AND MAKE IT CHALLENGING ON THE ROUTINE RUN PLAY.

MAKE IT CHALLENGING.

>> Wiley: NORTH OCONEE PLAYING THEIR SECOND STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AND LOST TO SOUTHEAST BULLOCK LAST YEAR AND SECURED THEIR FOURTH CONSECUTIVE STATE TITLE EARLIER TODAY AND TAKING ON THE DEFENDING CHAMPS IN GREENBRIER WHO LOOK POISED TO WIN THEIR SECOND STRAIGHT.

AND FOR GREENBRIER, NOT JUST THE CHEERLEADING BUT THE BAND WHO MADE THE TRIP OVER TO THE GEORGIA AREA.

>> Dave: BRINGING IT ALL IN.

AND THERE YOU GO.

I LOVE IT.

AND IT SHOWS THE GROWTH OF THE NUMBER OF TEAMS CONTINUING TO GROW AND THE EXCITEMENT AROUND THE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE STATE OF GEORGIA, THE CHEERLEADERS SHOWING UP AND THE BAND SHOWING UP, TRULY AMAZING SUPPORT.

>> Wiley: THE FIRST DOWN REALLY AUTO DO IT AND MAMIE CATE PANGLE, NOWHERE TO GO AND SHE CHUCKS IT AND COMPLETES IT TO PRESLEY McDERMOTT.

I THINK SHE GOT THE FIRST DOWN AND SHE DID.

AND THAT OUGHT TO JUST ABOUT DO IT.

WE HIT THE TIME-OUT.

>> Dave: A ROUTINE RUN AND NUMBER ONE RIGHT THERE IN HER FACE, BUT UNABLE TO KNOCK THE PASS DOWN, AND THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

AND THAT PLAY SHOWS YOU HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES.

>> Wiley: WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF A PLAY LIKE THAT?

YOU THINK TIME AND SCORE AND WE'LL TAKE THE LOSS BUT THAT IS CREATIVITY WE MAY NOT HAVE SEEN FIVE YEARS AGO.

>> Dave: WE ARE SEEING THE SUPPORT AND THE GIRLS ON THE FIELD HANG ON TO THE FOOTBALL AND PLAY AT A HIGHER LEVEL AND WE UNDERSTAND SPATIAL AWARENESS, AND TO MAKE IT THIS FAR, THEY FIND THE OPEN SPACE AND THEY ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK FOR THE NEXT PITCH PERSON AND AGAIN, WE KNOW THE CONTACT PIECE IS LIMITED TO ALLOW THE ATHLETE TO BE WAY MORE CREATIVE ON THE LAST PRAY >> Wiley: ONE MORE TO LOOK HERE, MAMIE CATE PANGLE BUT LOOK AT McDERMOTT FINDING OPEN SPACE AND JUST GETTING IT ACROSS FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

>> Dave: I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO FROM THE DEFENSIVE PERSPECTIVE.

MORE COVERED THAN GRAVY ON A BISCUIT.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN COACH THE DEFENSE THERE ON THAT TYPE OF PLAY.

>> Wiley: WE HAVE TWO MORE COMING UP ON OUR AIR AND FOUR MORE GAMES TOMORROW AND FOUR MORE GAMES ON WEDNESDAY.

AROUND THE LEFT SIDE.

AND THIS IS MAMIE CATE PANGLE AGAIN, HAS HER FLAG PULLED AT THE 14 YARD LINE AND NORTH OCONEE NOT USING A TIME-OUT HERE.

AND THEY WILL BE CONTENT TO LET THIS ONE RUN OUT.

>> Dave: OUT ON THE RUN, STAYING INBOUNDS, AND THE CLOCK IS MOVING.

DON'T FORCE ANYTHING.

>> Wiley: FINAL MINUTE, 22.

SILVER WITH IT, AND NICE PULL ON THE BACKFIELD.

THAT WAS ELLEN PASTRNAK MAKING THE STOP.

FOR KENZIE HORTON, IT LOOKS LIKE GREENBRIER IS DONE THROWING, 14 FOR 19 AND 149 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME THEY WILL KILL AND THE BALL IS PUT IN THE HANDS OF MAGGIE PANGLE, BRINGS UP FOURTH DOWN AND 33 SECONDS.

IT LOOKS LIKE OCONEE WILL TAKE THE FINAL TIME-OUT.

LOOK TO GET THE BALL ONE MORE TIME.

AND IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME THIS AFTERNOON.

>> Dave: KEEP PLAYING, A TOUGH SPOT AND JUST KEEP PLAYING, KEEP PLAYING AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN AND YOU WANT TO BUILD ON THE POSITIVES OF THE DAY IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.

>> Wiley: FOR COACH JORDAN, A SECOND STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FOR NORTH OCONEE AND ANOTHER STATE RUNNERS UNFINISH AND YOU FEEL LIKE AT SOME POINT, THE TITANS ARE GOING TO GET AT THE TOP AND WITHIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP BUT NOT TODAY.

IT'S THE GREENBRIER WOLFPACK FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, 33 SECONDS LEFT.

SEE IF HORTON GOES TO THE AIR ONE MORE TIME AND SHE WILL, TOWARDS THE END ZONE, TOUCHDOWN, MAGGIE PANGLE.

THE PERFECT WAY TO CLOSE OUT A SECOND-STRAIGHT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AS A SENIOR, HAULS IN THE FINAL TOUCHDOWN PASS.

>> Dave: TIGHT COVERAGE.

BUT EVEN BETTER BALL PLACEMENT.

AND THE TOUCHDOWN THROUGH THE AIR, KENZIE HORTON.

>> Wiley: THE POINT-AFTER TRY.

HORTON HEAVES TO THE CORNER.

27 SECONDS LEFT.

THE GREENBRIER WOLFPACK, CAN THEY FINISH 21-1 THIS THE CHAMPIONS?

AND THE ONLY QUESTION IS WILL THEY HAVE OTHER IN SHUTOUT?

OFFENSIVELY, MORE THAN ENOUGH, KENZIE HORTON AND COMPANY.

AND THE DEEP SHOT IS INTERCEPTED.

PICKED OFF!

PRESLEY McDERMOTT, ANOTHER SENIOR AND PERHAPS HER FINAL HIGHLIGHT BUT THE FLAG COMES OUT FROM BEHIND THE PLAY.

THIS COULD BE HOLDING.

>> Dave: THE LAST OFFENSE COMING ON AFTER THE SNAP BUT SNAP THE BALL.

>> Referee: ILLEGAL PROCEDURE ON THE OFFENSE, FIRST DOWN.

>> Wiley: 20 SECONDS LEFT.

IT WAS EMERY HARDEN WHO CAME IN AT QUARTERBACK FOR CATHERINE COOPER AND WITH THE INTERCEPTION, PRESLEY McDERMOTT.

>> Dave: JUST FOLLOWING THE EYES OF THE FOOTBALL.

>> Wiley: THERE IS THE KNEEL FROM ADDISON ODOM AND NO TIME OUTS WILL BE CALLED.

GREENBRIER THE DIVISION II FLAG FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONS, BACK TO BACK FOR THE WOLFPACK.

SO ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE FLAG FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS WE HAVE SOUTHEAST BULLOCK AND NOW GREENBRIER, THE WOLF PACK, AND THEY PLAYED A SHUTOUT GAME.

>> Dave: THEY HAD A LOT OF SEVERAL LONG DRIVES AND GETTING TO THE END ZONE, TRULY REMARKABLE BY THE WOLFPACK.

>> Wiley: FELT LIKE EVERY SENIOR HAD A MOMENT, AND THE TOUCHDOWN PASS FOR PANGLE AND THE INTERCEPTION FROM PRESLEY McDERMOTT WITH THREE SENIOR STARTERS ON OFFENSE AND THEY ALL HAD A BIG PLAY IN THE FINAL MINUTE.

BUT 16 SHUT OUTS FOR GREENBRIER INCLUDING A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TUESDAY.

IF YOU ARE COACH DANIEL JORDAN, YOU LOOK AT HOW THE PROGRAM HAS GROWN WHEN YOU GO BACK TO 2020 WHEN THEY START AND REACHED THE SEMIFINALS AND LOST IN THE SEMIFINALS AGAIN NEXT YEAR AND KNOCKED OUT THE SECOND ROUND AND BROKE THROUGH LAST YEAR AND NOW, AGAIN, THEY ARE STATE CHAMPIONS AND FOR NORTH OCONEE, 12 BE AN EMOTIONAL AFTERNOON, NO DOUBT.

BACK-TO-BACK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE ONS AND COACH O'MARA AND HER TEAM, SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF HERE, DAVE AND YOU LOOK BACK AT THE TWO TRIPS AND THEY HAVE COME UP SHORT AGAINST MAYBE THE TWO TOP FLAG FOOTBALL PROGRAMS IN THE STATE.

>> Dave: THE SEEDING AND THE DRAW, NOT ADVANTAGEOUS FOR BOGART BUT A LOT TO HANG YOUR HAT ON AND KEEP KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, A NEW HEAD COACH THIS YEAR AND A NEW OFFENSE.

AGAIN, 247 TEAMS, 273 TEAMS PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA SO TO BE ON THIS STAGE ON THIS MOMENT.

>> Wiley: WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS THE RUNNERS UP HERE IN DIVISION II.

THEY ARE RECOGNIZING SOME OF THE VETERAN TITANS.

THEY MADE IT THEIR MISSION TO GET BACK TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND WIN IT THIS YEAR AND THEY GOT BACK AND CAME UP SHORT BUT IT'S A REALLY GRITTY EFFORT.

LIKE YOU SAID, FOR A YOUNG PROGRAM, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE AND HEY, AS FAR AS TITAN FANS ARE CONCERNED, THEY WILL COMPETE AGAIN TONIGHT IN TACKLE FOOTBALL, A 7:00 P. M. START AND AGAIN, A TERRIFIC SEASON FOR FIRST YEAR HEAD COACH NICOLE O'MARA AND THE NORTH OCONEE TITANS THAT FINISH AS STATE RUNNERS UP IN DIVISION II AND WE CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THEY WILL BE BACK.

AGAIN, NORTH OCONEE FORTUNED THE YEAR 17-5.

AND HEAD BACK TO BOGART WITH THEIR HEADS HELD HIGH.

>> Dave: IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, LATER THIS AFTERNOON, I THINK WE HAVE A CHEERLEADER ON THE TEAM AND SHE WILL HAVE TO COLLECT HER EMOTIONS AND GET A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH AND TRY AND COME BACK OUT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

>> Wiley: FOR GREENBRIER, I THINK --YOU SAYING SANDWICH HAS GOTTEN ME HUNGRY AND I MIGHT HAVE TO STEP AWAY AND WE WILL THAT DOWN TO JON NELSON AND NOURISH OURSELVES.

THEY HAVE A 16-SHUTOUT STREAK.

>> CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY NUMBER TWO IN DIVISION II FROM OUR FRIENDS AT ALFA INSURANCE.

>> THANK YOU NORTH OCONEE AND THE NORTH OCONEE COMMUNITY AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE.

A GREAT SEASON.

APPRECIATE IT.

AND NOW FOR YOUR STATE CHAMPIONS GREENBRIER, POINT SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO GREENBRIER HIGH SCHOOL AND THEIR COMMUNITY AND THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND SUPPORTING YOUR YOUNG LADIES AND NOW TO PRESENT THE TROPHY FROM ALFA INSURANCE TO GREENBRIER HIGH SCHOOL ON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> Wiley: THEY GO DOWN THE 39 PRESENT THE TROPHY AND GET A HANDSHAKE, HOW DIFFICULT TO WIN THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR KNOWING THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM?

>> ALWAYS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT WITH AN OPPONENT LIKE NORTH OCONEE.

EVERYONE CAN THROW AND KICK AND PLAY GREAT DEFENSE AND DON'T GET OUT OF POSITION.

ANY TIME YOU HAVE A TEAM WITH THAT QUALITY, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE TOUGH.

>> WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ADD THIS TO THE GREENBRIER COMMUNITY AND THE TROPHY CASE AND WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING IN FLAG FOOTBALL?

>> OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND YOU CAN SEE A HUGE TURN OUT AND JUST THE INCREDIBLE SUPPORT FROM THE KIDS CAMP.

>> AND IT'S OFFICIALLY BACK TO BACK FOR THE PACK IN 2024.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO GREENBRIER, FLAG DIVISION II CHAMPS.

BACK UPSTAIRS TO DAVE AND WILEY.

>> Wiley: THANK YOU, NELLY AND WE ARE WELCOME YOU BACK UP TO THE BOOTH AND ALONG WITH DAVE REYNOLDS, I'M WILEY BALLARD.

WHAT IS THE TAKE AWAY?

>> Dave: THEY WERE JUST THROWING THE BALL ALL OVER THE FIELD.

>> Wiley: KENZIE HORTON, SHE WENT TO WORK, A DART OVER THE STOP AND A GREAT CATCH BY MAMIE CATE PANGLE AND HOW ABOUT SENIOR TO SENIOR TO CLOSE OUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP?

A GREAT PLAY ON THE BACK END, KENZIE HORTON TO PANGLE.

AND DAVE, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU TOMORROW AND WE HAVE MORE ON THE TACKLE SIDE AND THAT WILL DO IT FOR US, A GREAT AFTERNOON OF FLAG FOOTBALL AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN AT 11:00 A. M. TOMORROW.

>> STARTED OFF AS THE BEST DAY OF OUR YEAR.

BY THE END OF THE DAY, IT WAS THE WORST DAY OF OUR YEAR.

FIVE MINUTES ON A TWO-LANE ROAD, SIDING AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR SWERVES LEFT, THE CAR SWERVES RIGHT AND FOUND ME ON THE GROUND AND I BROKE MY NECK AND UNCONSCIOUS AND JAZMINE HIT HER HEAD ON THE PAVEMENT AND TOOK HER LAST BREATH IN MY FRIEND'S ARMS.

IT TOOK ME 2.

5 YEARS TO LEARN TO WALK AND I STARTED IN A WALKER AND THEN A CANE.

AND LIMIT ALL OF YOUR DISTRACTIONS.

IT'S ALWAYS A DISTRACTION.

WHETHER A PHONE OR PEOPLE TALKING.

AND TRY AND LIMIT THE DISTRACTIONS TO STAY FOCUSED.

I BELIEVE THAT LIFE, NO MATTER WHO WE ARE ARE JUST ONE DECISION AWAY FROM THE GREATEST OUTCOME OR DOWNFALL AND WHEN I TOOK MY PARENTS' CAR THAT DAY I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LOSE MY BEST FRIEND AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT.

AND EVERY TIME I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR, I HAVE TO THINK OF THAT, AND I LIVE WITH THAT EVERY DAY UNTIL I DIE.
