CEDAR GROVE AND THE SANDY CREEK PATRIOTS.

LARRY SMITH WITH THE GEORGIA BULLDOG, SEAN.

WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME FOR SEVERAL DAYS EVER SINCE HIS MATCHUP WAS SET.

TWO TEAMS REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER WELL.

Sean: THESE TEAMS HAVE MADE EACH OTHER IN FOOTBALL AND NOW BASKETBALL.

2023 THEY PLAYED HERE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

SANDY CREEK CUT DOWN THE NETS.

A BENCH GAME, CEDAR GROVE WILL COME OUT WITH A LOT OF ENERGY.

THEY ARE TALENTED FROM HEAD TO TOE.

YOU HAVE IT TEAM GOING FOR A THREE PEAT.

Larry: STARTING WITH SANDY CREEK, KNOWN FOR THE BIG MEN.

SCOTT MIKE BOTH TEAMS ARE WELL BALANCED.

I WILL GIVE THE SIZE TO CEDAR GROVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN EXPERIENCED GUY.

HERE WE HAVE CURED WHITE.

Larry: WE SAW A PLAYER HEADED TO NORTH CAROLINA.

Sean: PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOW HE CAN SCORE.

GREEN.

6'6".

WINGARD.

LOOK HOW HE ATTACKS THE RIM AT THE SAME TIME, PLAYING SMART AND EFFECTIVE.

Larry: THE THIRD MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, JON NELSON.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT SANDY CREEK, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THIS WAY, THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE KICKING SAND AND DIRT ON THE FIGHTING PATRIOTS.

SAYING THERE WAS NO WAY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE BACK HERE FOR THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR.

A LOT OF FOLKS WERE ANTICIPATING A BIG DROP OFF.

IF THIS IS A DROP OFF, LARRY, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A DROP OFF LIKE THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME.

THE HEAD COACH, COACH NICKERSON SAID I AM NOT A RAH RAH GUY.

IF THEY ARE NOT READY FOR A GAME LIKE THIS THEY WILL NOT BE READY.

HE WENT OVER THE BASICS FOR CEDAR GROVE.

AS THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AND THE LAST MATCH OF THE DAY FOR 32 MINUTES, IS CEDAR GROVE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KICK THE SAND ON SANDY CREEK OR WILL SANDY CREEK HAVE THE LAST WORD?

Larry: COACH NICKERSON, PLAYING WITH HOUSE MONEY.

NOBODY EXPECTED US TO PLAY IN THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON IS STARTING LINEUP ROCK TO BUY AMERICA'S NAVY BY THE SEA.

BOWYER, GILLESPIE, GREEN, STRINGFIELD AND -- Sean: BOTH TEAMS LOVE TRANSITION.

EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE SIZE TO CEDAR GROVE, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT TRANSITION OFFENSIVELY., IT IS MORE ABOUT PROTECTING THE BALL.

CUTTING DOWN THE TURNOVERS.

WHOEVER DOES A GOOD JOB HAVING LOW TURNOVERS WILL CUT DOWN THIS EVENING.

Larry: THE COACHING STAFF, JOHN MIKELL -- JON-MICHAEL NICKERSON FOR SANDY CREEK AND DERRICK WIMMER FOR CEDAR GROVE.

THE TEAMS SECOND.

THE BALL IS OUT OF BOUNDS.

CEDAR GROVE.

Sean: BOTH TEAMS ARE MOVING A LITTLE SLOWER BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE EXCITEMENT FOR A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, YOU GO DOWN THE COURT THE FLOORS ARE A LOT LONGER.

THERE IS A POINT WHERE ONE COACH WILL HAVE TO PULL BACK TO CONTROL THE GAME.

Larry: KILO OKEKE IS IN FOR SUNDAY CREEK AS HAWKINS SITS DOWN FOR THE PATRIOTS.

TOO HARD.

FLOYD CHIDED JIM AT HOME.

COULDN'T GET IT TO GO BUT ANOTHER OFFENSIVE REBOUND FOR CEDAR GROVE.

CEDAR GROVE'S BALL.

FULL COURT PRESS, THE COACH SAID THAT THEY WANT TO GO 94 FEET THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

Sean: TO THE DISADVANTAGE OF CEDAR GROVE, THEY DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF DEBT THIS YEAR.

THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO PLAY FIVE.

HE'S TRYING TO FORCE THE TEMPO TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE WITH FATIGUE AS THE GAME GETS A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARD THE END.

Larry: TO HARD OFF THE GLASS.

MISSED AND REJECTED.

GREAT JOB BY A KIKI COMING OFF THE BENCH.

THE 6'5" SENIOR.

REFLECTED FLOYD.

Sean: IF I'M CEDAR GROVE, THAT IS MY GAME PLAN.

I WANT TO GET THE BALL TO HIM EVERY TIME DOWN THE COURT.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR STRENGTH.

Larry: FLOYD, NUMBER 10 IN BLUE.

STRINGFIELD, THE BALL.

BACK INSIDE TO FLOYD.

GETS THE TERM.

CAN GET THAT TO GO.

ANOTHER OFFENSIVE REBOUND.

THIS TIME IT IS IN.

Sean: IT MIGHT NOT BE THE FIRST POSSESSION, SOMETIMES IT IS THE SECOND OR THIRD OPPORTUNITY.

FOLLOW YOUR OWN SHOT.

HE HAS A GREAT ADVANTAGE WITH ATHLETIC ABILITY INSIDE THE PAINT.

TALKING ABOUT JAVONTE A. Larry: COULD NOT HANDLE THE PASS.

A KIKI OFF HIS HANDS.

BOWYER.

TIME-OUT ON THE FLOOR.

WE WILL TAKE A TIME-OUT, AS WELL.

THE BIG MIND --MAN ASIDE, FLOYD, GETTING IT DONE FOR CEDAR GROVE.

THE SAINTS ARE ON TOP EARLY.

MS. BASKETBALL AND RETIRED AFTER THREE SEASONS.

Sean: IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT IS YOUR LOVE AND YOUR PASSION.

YES, HE LOVES BASEBALL.

BUT HIS PASSION IS BASKETBALL.

A LOT OF TIMES YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR PASSIONS.

FOOTBALL THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL BUT HE HAS TAKEN THAT PASSION TO SANDY CREEK AND HAS A CHANCE TO REPEAT FOR STATE CHAMPION.

Larry: A FANTASTIC JOB, TALKING ABOUT WORKING THE BOARDS HARDER.

GETTING OUTREBOUNDED 9 TO 3 IN THIS CHAMPION TELL.

BACK TO ACTION.

SET PLAY.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE COACH GETS OUT OF THE TIME-OUT?

FLOYD, THE GREAT HANDS.

BEING SMACKED AROUND.

Sean: THE TWO THINGS, SANDY CREEK WANTS TEMPO.

IF YOU'RE CEDAR GROVE YOU WANT TO PLAY INSIDE OUT.

IT WILL BE THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT ACTIONS BEFORE THE FALL THOSE INSIDE.

THAT WAS AN ISOLATION BASELINE SCREEN.

GREAT POSITION INSIDE FOR THE BIG FELLOW TO GET YOU TO THE FREE-THROW LINE.

Larry: MAKES IT AND 8-4 LEAD.

CEDAR GROVE.

WHITE, THE SENIOR FROM SANDY CREEK.

HAWKINS.

FLORENCE ARE AT HIGH OFF THE GLASS.

LATIMER IS THERE.

THE JUNIOR.

8-6.

Sean: SANDY CREEK IS IN A GREAT JOB FORCING THE OFFENSE TO START AT HALF COURT.

THAT IS THEIR ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOU'RE FORCING THE ADVANTAGE SHOT OR ANOTHER HAVE A CHANCE TO GO IN TRANSITION.

GOOD HUSTLE THERE BY ROBINSON.

SINCE IT TO THE SAINTS.

JUMP BALL, AND IN.

WHAT A MOVE TO COLLECT THE PAST.

GETTING IT OFF THE GLASS.

CEDAR GROVE IS UP BY FOUR.

PAST THE 92nd MARK.

A LITTLE FOUL ON THE FLOOR BEFORE THE SHOT.

THAT IS ON STRINGFIELD.

IT WILL BE HIS FIRST.

HERE'S COMING AT YOU IN YOUR LIVING ROOM HERE.

Sean: SOMETIMES THE GAME IS VERY EASY BUT IT STARTS NOT WITH THE JUMPER BUT WITH THE PASS.

ISA.

LIST THREE ADVANCED THE BALL AND GOT HIS TEAMMATE AND EASY BASKET.

Larry: TURNOVER FOR THE PATRIOTS TRYING TO GET TO THE CORNER.

THREW IT AWAY.

IT WILL BE CEDAR GROVE'S BALL.

THERE FACING THE PRESS AGAIN.

THREE ON THREE.

WHITE AND WHITE.

AGAINST, BOWYER FOR CEDAR GROVE.

Sean: CEDAR GROVE HAS DONE A BETTER GETTING THE OFFENSE STARTED AT THE FREE-THROW LINE.

Larry: GREEN IS UP TOP.

607, JR.

CANNOT GET THAT TO GO.

WHITE, THE REBOUND, TO THE WHO.

LOOKING AT ROBINSON.

SHORT.

FLOYD, THE REBOUND.

UNDER ONE MINUTE IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

BOWYER.

GREEN.

A LITTLE TOO FAST.

SUBSTITUTION.

RIVERS IS BACK FOR SANDY CREEK.

FLORENCE WILL SIT DOWN.

Sean: SOMETIMES THE COACH WOULD SAY THIS, BE QUICK BUT DON'T HURRY.

SOMETIMES WHEN TEAMS WANT TEMPO THEY WILL GO TOO FAST.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND LET THE GAME COME TO YOU.

Larry: ARENAS IN THE GAME FOR CEDAR GROVE.

FLOYD TAKES A SEAT IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

FIVE SECONDS AGO.

GILLESPIE WITH THE BALL.

GILLESPIE.

OFF THE BACK IRON.

NO.

SANDY CREEK TO FINISH OFF THE CORNER.

KILO OKEKE OFF THE BENCH YEAR.

SANDY CREEK IS OFF BY TWO.

ORDER NUMBER TWO ABOUT TO BEGIN.

THE COACH OF CEDAR GROVE, HE ACTUALLY PLAYED FOOTBALL IN MISSISSIPPI.

BEGIN HIS COACHING CAREER AS CEDAR GROVE AS PART OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL HEAD COACH FRED WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THERE.

Sean: HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A WINNER.

HE HAS WON AT EVERY LEVEL.

HE HAS TAKEN THAT MENTALITY AND PUTS HIMSELF IN THE POSITION TO WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ADVERSITY LEVEL.

GOING TO THE SECOND QUARTER, MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS THAT SANDY CREEK CONTINUED TO PLAY IN ATTACK MODE.

NORTH AND SOUTH AND NOT EAST AND WEST.

CEDAR GROVE IF I WAS THEM, I WOULD THROW THE BALL DOWN.

Larry: PLAY INSIDE OUT.

TRY TO SAY THAT.

TALKED ABOUT COACH TERRY.

HE COACH RECEIVERS.

PASS GAME COORDINATOR.

A PLAY CALLER AT JOHN ADAMS.

TO YOUR POINT, COACH NICKERSON TELLING HIS TEAM TO STAY AGGRESSIVE.

THEY ARE TRAILING.

11 REBOUNDS FOR CEDAR GROVE AND SIX IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

ORDER NUMBER TWO IS UNDERWAY.

CLASS THREE A CHAMPIONSHIP.

WHITE.

NICE SHOT BY FLORENCE IN THE GAME.

I WOULD RATHER KEEP IT ON THE PERIMETER VERSUS ALLOWING THE DRIVE.

Larry: PAGERS TAKE THE LEAD.

FIVE STRAIGHT POINTS FOR THEM.

STRINGFIELD IS UP TOP.

A CHECK BY LATIMER.

BOWYER ON THE WING.

BACK TO STRINGFIELD.

SIX ON THE SHOT CLOCK.

GREEN, THE JUNIOR.

A LONG THREE OFF THE IRON.

NO GOOD.

WHITE, THE REBOUND.

HERE COMES SANDY CREEK.

Sean: INTERESTING RIGHT NOW, FLOYD.

PAINTING WITH ONE SHOE, THAT SHOWS HOW AGGRESSIVE THESE KIDS ARE PLAYING.

Larry: LEFT HIS SHOE ON THE OTHER END.

I BELIEVE THAT FOUL WAS ON GILLESPIE.

CHECK THAT, IT WAS ON MANNY GREEN.

THAT WAS HIS FIRST.

LATIMER IS AT THE LINE SHOOTING TWO.

MISSED THE FIRST ONE.

Sean: TO ME HE IS THE TOUGH PERSON OF THIS TEAM.

I WATCHED HIM IN THE SECOND ROUND AND WITHOUT HIS TOUGHNESS AND TENACITY, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE EXCELLED.

HE HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF BEING THE STRONG PERSON ON THE TEAM WITH THAT FOOTBALL MINDSET.

Larry: MISSED THE SECOND BUT SECOND CHANCE OPPORTUNITY.

14-10, LEAD.

Sean: GET MORE ACTION.

GET MORE MOVEMENT.

GET THE BALL TO THE INSIDE.

Larry: PATIENTS.

THE DEFENSE THERE AGAINST FLOYD.

PATRIOTS WANT TO RUN.

FLORENCE, AGAIN.

FAST-BREAK.

10-0 RUN FOR SANDY CREEK.

THEY ARE UP, 16-10.

TO YOUR POINT, CEDAR GROVE, TEMPLE IS IMPORTANT.

SLOWER.

DRIVING.

GETS UP TO GO.

HOW ABOUT THAT BODY CONTROL?

Sean: INSIDE OF HIM SHOOTING THREES, GET INTO THE PAINT.

USE YOUR STRENGTH SIZE AND ABILITY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

Larry: THAT ENDS THE 10-0 RUN BY SANDY CREEK.

RIVERS.

AFTER, FLORENCE.

COACH NICKERSON, YOU CAN HEAR HIS COMMANDS.

JUST BEHIND US.

FLORENCE, FOR THREE.

THAT IS OFF THE BACK YARD.

FORGET THE ATM THE BANK IS OPEN.

Sean: YOUR PLAYING HORSE?

HIT IT OFF THE BANK.

Larry: HAWKINS WILL CHECK BACK IN FOR SANDY CREEK.

THE LEAD IS SEVEN.

BIGGEST IN THE GAME.

MANNY GREEN AND NOW GILLESPIE, NUMBER FIVE.

THE BALL IS KNOCKED AWAY AGAIN.

FLOYD, HAS IT.

THE LEFT-HANDER GETS THE THREE TO GO.

Sean: ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS THAT IS A TOUGH ONE.

THE SHORTEST GUY ON THE TEAM BUT THE BIGGEST HEART ON THE COURT.

Larry: BOWYER, 13 POINTS.

3000 POINT SCORERS ON THIS TEAM.

BOWYER, GREEN, AND GILLESPIE.

A TIME-OUT HERE ON THE COURT.

19:50.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAST TWO BISCUITS BY SANDY CREEK.

Sean: DEFENSE.

GREAT OFFENSE.

SANDY CREEK IS ATTACKING THE RIM.

WHENEVER THE BALL MOVES INSIDE THE PAINT, INSIDE-OUT, FOR A PASS OR FOR A DRIVE, THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE OUTSIDE SHOT OPENS UP.

THAT IS WHAT SANDY CREEK IS.

PATIENT, GETTING IT DOWN LOW.

10 SECONDS, INSTEAD OF BEING RUSHED, THEY ARE TAKING THE TIME TO GET THE HIGH FOR THE JUMPSHOT.

Larry: FLORENCE AVERAGES 10 POINTS PER GAME.

ALREADY 12 TO MAY.

THIRD TEAM ALL REGION THE SEASON.

A LOT OF GOOD THREE-POINT SHOOTING ON THE SEASON.

SO FAR HE IS 2 FOR 2.

HE'S EFFECTIVE WHEN HE'S BEEN AGGRESSIVE AND MAKING BIG-TIME SHOTS AND MOMENTS.

TRAUMA BIG-TIME SHOTS TO LATIMER.

PATRIOTS ARE BACKUP BY SIX.

BOWYER WITH THE DRIVE.

FLORENCE, THE REBOUND.

GETS IT TO JARED WHITE.

QUICKLY UP.

BLOCKING FOUL.

THAT MAY BE ONGOING?

IT IS HIS SECOND.

Sean: EVEN THOUGH THERE IS 4:15 HERE IN THE SECOND QUARTER, YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THE FATIGUE FACTOR COMING INTO PLAY OF CEDAR GROVE.

THEY'RE TRYING TO PLAY IN A HIGH STYLE, HIGH SPEED.

AS SOME TIME TO HAVE TO --WHEN YOU GET FATIGUED AND MADE A BAD FOUL, THAT WAS A BAD ONE.

Larry: FLORENCE.

FLOYD LOSES THAT BATTLE BUT THEY GET THE BALL BACK.

WHITE, LOOKING TO SHOOT.

FLOYD, THE REBOUND.

THE SAINTS ON THE PUSH.

GREEN.

BOWYER.

ANOTHER THREE.

FRONT IRON, GO.

REBOUND BY FLORENCE.

Sean: THERE ARE GOOD SHOTS, GREAT SHOTS AND BAD SHOTS.

BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE GAME IS GOING, THAT WAS A BAD SHOT.

SOMETIMES YOU GOT A SLOW DOWN AND GET BACK TO YOUR STRENGTHS.

Larry: SANDY CREEK WANTS TO TRAVEL ON THAT.

THEY ARE GOING TO COUNT THE BASKET.

A FOUL.

HERE IS THAT BASKET AGAIN.

GREAT JOB BY KEITH GILLESPIE.

GET SET UP AND IN.

SHOULD YOU FREE THROW ME COME BACK HERE IN MACON.

WELCOME BACK TO THE MACON COLISEUM.

CAUGHT UP WITH COACH TERRY A LITTLE BIT.

I HAVE CONCERNS AND CONFIDENCE WHEN THE CONVERSATION THAT WE JUST HAD.

CONFIDENCE, HE THINKS THAT THEY, SANDY CREEK, DO NOT HAVE ANY ANSWERS IN THE PAINT FOR FLOYD.

ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT HE HAS IS REBOUNDING.

HE WANTS THE GUYS TO GET BACK IN AND REBOUND.

HE HAD THAT ADVANTAGE THAT WENT TO 10-8.

THAT EDGE HAS EVER OPERATED BY THIS POINT.

SUCH A GOOD POINT.

SANDY CREEK, YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT COACH NICKERSON FOR THE PATRIOTS WAS SAYING THE SAME THING.

HIS TEAM HAS RESPONDED AND THEY CLOSED THE GAP.

YOU GOT TO LOOK AT YOUR STRENGTHS, NOT YOUR WEEK THIS IS.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PLAYERS DO THE SAME THING.

SHOOTING THREES AND BEING VICARIOUS OUTSIDE OF THE THREE-POINT LINE.

WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER.

INSIDE THAT BASKETBALL BECAUSE NOW YOU PUT YOURSELF AT AN ADVANTAGE.

Larry: GILLESPIE AT THE THREE FLOW.

IT IS BACK TO THE THREE-POINT ADVANTAGE.

SANDY CREEK'S NUMBERS, FIVE ASSISTS ON ALL THE FIELD GOALS THEY HAVE MADE IN THIS GAME.

Sean: THAT WAS A SMART MOVE.

SO THE TEMPO DOWN.

KEEP THE OFFENSE IN FRONT OF YOU.

NOW YOU'RE IN POSITION TO SCORE.

Larry: WHAT A JUMP BY FLORENCE.

IN KICKBALL.

HERE IS THE CLOCK.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN CLEAN.

GOOD CAMERA ANGLE HERE.

THE CREW DOES SUCH GREAT WORK.

GREAT JOB, FELLOWS.

AN ISSUE NOW, THERE IS A RED STAIN ON THE SHORTS OF JARED WHITE.

Sean: HE IS LEADING AT THE ELBOW OR SOMETHING.

Larry: THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE BRIEF TIME-OUT.

A CHANCE FOR COACH NICKERSON TO TALK TO RIVERS.

HIS JUNIOR RIGHT HERE AS THEY TAKE CARE OF THAT.

Sean: I LOVE THE WAY THE HE COACHES.

HE IS IN YOUR FACE.

HE'S HANDLING BUSINESS.

WE DON'T NEED TO BE SOFT AND SENSITIVE.

HEY, YOU'RE DOING THIS AND THAT.

GET BACK AT IT AND LET'S WIN.

Larry: THEY GOT WHITE CLEANED UP.

COACH NICKERSON WAS ABOUT TO CALL A TIME-OUT TO KEEP HIM IN.

IT TURNED OUT THEY ARE SATISFIED.

THEY HAVE THE BLOOD CLEANED OFF HIS SHORTS AND BACK TO ACTION.

BACK TO THE ZONE.

Sean: I LIKE THIS MOVE BY COACH TERRY.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPO ON THE GAME.

EVERYTHING CANNOT BE MAN-TO-MAN.

SHOWED DEFENSE TO THE OFFENSE AND FORCE THEM TO BAIL ON THE PERIMETER.

Larry: LATIMER INSIDE.

REBOUND, ON THE FLOOR.

STILL BEING KICKED AROUND.

FINALLY TO FLOYD.

WHAT A JOB BY THE SAINTS TO STAY WITH THAT.

NOW A CHANCE TO TIE WITH A THREE-POINTER.

DOWN BY SEVEN EARLIER.

Sean: IF THEY GO INSIDE, THEY WILL PLAY ON THE PERIMETER.

Larry: GREEN, SPIN MOVE.

UP AND OFF THE BACK IRON.

FLORENCE.

THE REBOUND.

RIGHT.

NOW IN THE HANDS OF FLORENCE.

LATIMER LOVES THE CONTACT.

CAN'T GET IT TO GO.

FLOYD, THE REBOUND.

Sean: SHOOTING OVER A 6'10" GUY LIKE FLOYD.

Larry: WHEN YOU ARE 5'11" --GLYSOPHATE.

BRINGS IT OUT.

I FOUL WITH A REACH IN.

ROBINSON.

Sean: YOU ARE GIVING SANDY CREEK AN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOU ARE PLAYING RETREAT BASKETBALL VERSUS ATTACK BASKETBALL.

YOU TRY TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

YOU NEED TO BE MORE NORTH, SOUTH.

ATTACK THE ROOM.

AT THE SAME TIME BE AGGRESSIVE AND MAKE YOUR PLACE MORE EFFECTIVE INSIDE THE PAINT.

Larry: OKEKE IS BACK IN PLACE OF ROBINSON.

Sean: ISOLATION BASKETBALL WILL NOT WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

Larry: A MISSED CHANCE FOR THE SAINTS.

SANDY CREEK APPROACHING THE ONE MINUTE MARK UNTIL HALFTIME.

UP BY THREE.

CLASS THREE A CHAMPIONSHIP.

FOUR MORE GAMES TOMORROW.

WE BEGIN AT 1:00.

A TIME-OUT NOW BY ONE OF THE REFEREES.

NOT APPEARS THAT LATIMER IS BLEEDING.

A CUT ABOVE HIS EYE.

VERY QUICKLY HERE, TWO DIFFERENT PATRIOTS PLAYERS WITH A PRETTY GOOD CUT.

AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS ALL OVER HIS JERSEY.

ROBINSON WILL COME BACK AS THEY ATTEND TO LATIMER.

THE COACH TALKED ABOUT HIM.

THEY SAID HE LOVES CONTACT.

THAT IS WHY SOME OF THE TOP FOOTBALL SCHOOLS ARE COMING AFTER HIM.

TEXAS, OHIO STATE, MICHIGAN, HE SAID THAT WE HAVE A BULLY FOR YOUR BULLY.

HE DOES LOVE CONTACT.

Sean: YOU DID NOT SEE HIM FLINCH.

HE TOOK THE POUNDING AND KEPT ON TICKING.

HE IS A COACHES SON.

HE'S BEEN AROUND SPORTS HIS WHOLE LIFE.

WHEN YOU CAN BRING FOOTBALL TO BASKETBALL, THE TOUGHNESS AND TENACITY, YOUR TEAM BUILDS AROUND YOU.

HE IS SHOWING THE GUYS, WE HAVE TWO EYES OF THE SIDELINE WITH A LITTLE BLOOD.

LET'S SAY POISED AND FOCUSED.

LET'S CUT DOWN THE NET AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.

SOME OF THE COACH IS COMPLAINING RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS A LOT OF CONTACT UNDERNEATH.

THERE CLEANING UP THE BLOOD NOW.

YOU CAN SEE UNDER THE SANDY CREEK BASKET, AND MAY HAVE HAPPENED THE LAST TIME HE WENT INSIDE.

HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK.

Sean: I DON'T SEE THE CONTACT WITH THE PLAYER.

HE MIGHT'VE FALLEN ON THE GROUND.

Larry: THERE IT IS.

YEAH.

Sean: I HOPE YOU WILL BE OKAY.

HOPEFULLY WAS NOT A CONCUSSION SCENARIO.

Larry: THEY MIGHT HAVE TO GET HIM A NEW JERSEY.

STOPPAGE IN PLAY.

THERE STILL IS A TRAINER, JON NELSON IS WALKING THERE TO SEE WHAT HE CAN SEE AND HE WILL REPORT BACK.

THE OFFICIALS ARE TRYING TO GET EVERYONE BACK ON THE COURT.

IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US, WINNING THE FIRST TWO GAMES.

PRIVATE GIRLS AND BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP.

ANOTHER ANGLE ADDED.

HE HIT THE FLOOR HARD.

MY, GOODNESS.

GOT UP AND KEPT PLAYING HER GAME NUMBER THREE, THE CHAMPIONSHIP, CHEROKEE BLUFF.

Sean: THE 2-3 ZONE IS SLOWING THE GAME OFFENSIVELY.

THIS IS PLAYING INTO CEDAR GROVE'S FAVOR.

THEY'RE FORCING SANDY CREEK TO PLAY ON THE PERIMETER, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

Larry: BALL IS KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS.

IT WILL GO TO THE SAINTS.

Sean: IF I'M COACH TERRY GOING INTO HALFTIME, HE NEEDS FIVE PLAYERS TO REBOUND.

YOU EXPECT ONE TO CLEAN THE GLASS.

Larry: FLIGHT IS BEEN QUIET SINCE THE OPENING FEW PLAYS.

HE WAS CALLED FOR A FOUL THERE.

THE BALL WAS KNOCKED AWAY.

GREAT JOB BY WHITE AND FLORENCE TO KNOCK IT AWAY.

Sean: THERE IS NO ACTION.

JUST GO POSTAL.

YOU HAVE TO CREATE ACTION.

MOVE AROUND.

SECOND AND THIRD OPTION IN SCORING POSITION.

Larry: THE FOUL WAS ON FLOYD.

HIS FIRST.

SHOT CLOCK IS OFFERED PATRIOTS HOLDING FOR THE FINAL SHOT OF THE HALF.

Sean: THE BASELINE THREE IS COMING.

ROBINSON WITH THE ATTEMPTS OFF THE IRON.

THAT IS THE WAY IT ENDS.

SANDY CREEK, PLAYING STRONG IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

THEY TAKE IT, 21-18 IN HALFTIME.

THE PATRIOTS.

HALFTIME NO, COACHES INTERVIEW PRESENTED BY BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT.

LET'S GO TO JON NELSON.

TIME TO CATCH UP WITH COACH NICKERSON.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE FIRST 16?

YOU HAVE THE REBOUNDING EDGE.

WE HAVE BEEN DOWNSIZED ALL YEAR BUT WE HAVE SOME DUDES THAT ARE TOUGH.

THEY ENJOY THE PHYSICALITY AND TOUGHNESS AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT HEIGHT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS OFFENSIVELY, WHAT FLIPPED THE SWITCH?

YOU TOLD US THAT YOU GO AS JARED GOES.

HOW DID HE GO IN THE FIRST 16?

HE DID NOT GO.

WE ONLY HAVE 21 AT THE HALF.

THAT IS NOT GOOD BUT WE HAVE TO GET BETTER SHOTS.

THAT IS COACH NICKERSON, UPDATE ON LATIMER.

HE WENT INTO THE MEDICAL ROOM GETTING TREATMENT ON THE SIDE OF HIS EYE.

NOT ON TOP OR YOU CAN HAVE ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO STOPPING BLOOD.

MORE AS WE GO.

WHEN COMING BACK, HALFTIME HERE.

WELCOME TO THE HALFTIME SHOW.

WE ARE LIVE FROM MACON COLISEUM FOR THE 25 BOYS AND GIRLS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

WE ARE IN THE LAST GAME OF THE DAY.

PATRIOTS ON TOP, 25-18.

CEDAR GROVE PRINCIPAL.

AND SANDY CREEK PRINCIPAL, TOSHA OLIVER.

THEY PLAYED THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2023.

A LITTLE BIT OF BLACK BLOOD.

DR. DOUGLAS, WE WILL START WITH YOU, WHAT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THE FIRST HALF?

GREAT FIRST HALF WITH A LOT OF PRESSURE IN FROM SANDY CREEK.

A LOT OF PRESSURE AT HALF COURT.

I THINK WE NEED TO PUSH THE BALL DOWN FASTER.

MORE OF AN INSIDE GAME GOING.

GOING TO GET THIS WIN WAS CEDAR GROVE.

SANDY CREEK WON THAT GAME A FEW YEARS AGO.

YOUR THIRD TITLE IN A ROW.

HOW SPECIAL IS THIS PROGRAM?

IT IS EXTREMELY SPECIAL.

WE HAVE EIGHT STRAIGHT REGION CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES.

WE HAVE GOT 104 CONSECUTIVE REGION WINS.

WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT OUR PROGRAM AND ABOUT THE SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES THAT ARE IN PLACE.

WE HAVE A DIFFERENT TEAM THIS YEAR.

WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF EGGS.

WE ARE SHORT, SMALL, SCRAPPY.

WE ARE HERE TO PLAY HARD.

AS IN A PHYSICAL FIRST HALF.

WE ARE HERE TO WIN.

I AM SO PROUD OF OUR TEAM, OF COACH NICKERSON AND EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE.

WE ARE HOPING TO PULL OUT A THIRD STATE TITLE TONIGHT.

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN BASKETBALL HAPPENING AT YOUR SCHOOL.

THE OTHER ACADEMICS IN ATHLETICS.

IN DOING SO MANY GREAT THINGS.

I HAVE TO BLACK -- BRAG ON MY PLAYERS.

JARED WHITE IS AN AP STUDENT.

THOUSAND POINT CLUB.

WE HAVE OKEKE, HE MADE A PERFECT SCORE ON THE MATH PORTION OF THE SAT.

WE ARE AN OLDER SCHOOL.

A LOT OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT AROUND OUR SCHOOL.

ALONG WITH ACADEMIC SUPPORT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THE SCHOOL TO BE THE GREAT SCHOOL THAT IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 52 YEARS.

WHAT ADJUSTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE IN THE SECOND?

WE NEED TO COME OUT FAST AND HARD.

WE DO NOT HAVE BAGS SO WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE DOWN IN THE COURT.

DOWN IN THE MIDDLE UNDERNEATH THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE WE CRUSH THE BURSAR TO THINK WE CAN PULL IT OUT.

I KNOW WE WILL.

SANDY CREEK PRINCIPAL AND I HAD A NICE CONVERSATION.

WE ARE COMPETITIVE.

66-50.

TAKE THAT TITLE.

NOW WE WILL SEE IF SANDY CREEK WILL WIN FOR CEDAR GROVE?

THAT WILL BE RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK.

THANKS FOR WATCHING THE HALFTIME SHOW.

WE WILL SEE YOU RIGHT AFTER THIS.

TWO WELCOME BACK HERE TO THE SHOW WHERE THE SECOND HALF IS ABOUT TO START A 21-18.

SANDY CREEK IS ON TOP.

COACHES INTERVIEW PRESENTED BY BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT.

WE WILL TALK WITH JON NELSON.

--WE WILL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON A PLAYER THAT WENT OUT WITH AN INJURY.

AMARI LATIMER, THE JUNIOR PLAYER FIRST SANDY CREEK WITH THAT NASTY CUT OVER HIS EYE.

THAT HAS BEEN GLUED SHUT AND LATIMER WEARING NUMBER 24.

NOW THE COACHES INTERVIEW PRESENTED BY BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT, OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL.

LET'S CATCH UP WITH COACH TERRY.

BACK AND FORTH, IT WAS CHAOTIC AT TIMES.

YOU HAVE THE REBOUNDING EDGE AND CONFIDENT YOU HAD THE HEIGHT ADVANTAGE WITHOUT STARTING FIVE.

WHAT TO THINK OF THE FIRST 16?

THEY GAVE THE BEST BUNCH FOR THE COACH DID A GOOD JOB OF SHOWING A FEW LOOKS WE DID NOT EXPECT.

WE DID A GOOD JOB OF SETTLING DOWN THE SECOND QUARTER.

OFFENSIVELY, WE WERE NOT BEING AGGRESSIVE AS FAR AS MAKING AN EXTRA PASS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE WILL BE MUCH BETTER IN THE SECOND HALF RISK EYE THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

THAT IS THE CEDAR GROVE HALF OF THINGS.

LARRY, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LATIMER WILL BE AFFECTED AFTER THEY GLUED THAT THINK SHOT ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF HIS FACE.

AS A SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT IT OR LET IT GO?

Larry: HE HAS THAT BIG BAND-AID.

SEAN, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Sean: THIS IS A GAME OF TWO HALVES.

CEDAR GROVE FINISHED IN THE TWO, THREE ZONE.

SANDY CREEK, STILL PLAY YOUR CELL --STYLE.

NOT PROTECT THE BALL.

TURNOVERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT GOING INTO THE SECOND HALF.

CONTROL THE TEMPO OF THE SANDY CREEK.

PLATE INSIDE IF YOU'RE CEDAR GROVE, TO YOUR STRENGTH.

I BELIEVE THEY WILL COME OUT ON TOP DURING THE SECOND HALF.

Larry: THERE IS A SHOT CLOCK ISSUE OVER ONE BASKET NEAR THE SANDY CREEK BENCH, IT IS OUT.

IT'S NOT EVEN ON.

NO POWER.

THAT IS A DELAY RIGHT NOW.

AS YOU HAVE MENTIONED, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT -- TURNOVERS, CEDAR GROVE HAD SEVEN.

SANDY CREEK, FIVE.

THESE ARE TWO TEENS WHO KNOW EACH OTHER.

COACHES WHO KNOW EACH OTHER.

THEY KNOW THE PERSONNEL AND WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO.

YOU CAN KIND OF SEE SOME FRUSTRATION THAT THE GAME PLAN THEY HAD FOR THE FIRST 60 MINUTES TO GO THE WAY THEY WOULD'VE LIKE FOR IT TO.

Sean: THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT BASKETBALL OR ANY SPORT, AT HALFTIME YOU CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.

SANDY CREEK, WANTS TRANSITION BUT WANTS TO BE SMART.

THEY DON'T WANT HELTER-SKELTER BASKETBALL.

CEDAR GROVE, SO THE GAME WITH YOUR DEFENSE.

OFFENSIVELY, BE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND ASSERTIVE.

NOT JUST WITH A QUICK PLAY BUT A KNIFE.

BE STRATEGIC ABOUT THE WAY YOU PLAY TO GET THE BALL INSIDE TO THE BIG FELLOWS TO FINISH DOWN LOW.

Larry: JUST OFFSCREEN THERE, LATIMER IS STILL BEING WORKED ON.

A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD ON HIS CHIN.

THE COACH IS TAKING A TOWEL TO RUN IT OFF.

Sean: THUS THE FOOTBALL MENTALITY.

IF YOU'RE PLAYING FULLBACK, YOU CANNOT WORRY ABOUT A LITTLE BLOOD.

Larry: OKAY, THEY GOT THE CLOCK BACK ON NOW.

WE ARE ABOUT READY TO START THE PLAY.

SANDY CREEK BOTH COMING IN 23 AND 8 IN THIS ONE.

SANDY CREEK TOOK THE LEAD AND HAVE NOT RELINQUISHED SINCE THEN.

SANDY CREEK CHIPPING AWAY.

STARTING THE THIRD QUARTER IT IS 21 TO 18.

THE DEFENSE OUT OF BOUNDS BY WAY.

THE COACH TALKED ABOUT JARED WHITE NOT TAKING OFF.

1 OF 70 SHOOTING.

-- SEVEN, SHOOTING.

QUICKLY ON THE INBOUND.

Sean: A LITTLE BIT OF ACTION BY SANDY CREEK.

ISOLATING THE PLAY DOWN LOW.

THE HAVE THE RIGHT CONCEPT.

INSIDE OUT BASKETBALL.

Larry: GREEN, I'LL CITED CAN'T GET THAT TO GO.

FLOOD WORKING INSIDE.

THE CENTER GETS THAT TO PUSH THAT IN.

THE DEFICIT HAS BEEN CUT DOWN TO ONE.

FLORENCE, ON THE DRIVE.

INSIDE TO LATIMER.

Sean: HE IS A TOUGH KID.

Larry: NICE DISH BY HAWKINS.

FULL-COURT PRESS.

NOT MUCH.

LUSBY CLEARS, GETS IT TO GREEN.

INSIDE FOR 12.

FLOYD, BACK UP.

HE IS HEARD.

LANDED ON HIS TAILBONE.

A CHANCE FOR A THREE-POINT PLAY OUT OF THE BASKET.

BOWYER CALLED IT FOUL.

Sean: LOOK AT THIS PLAY.

BEHIND THE BACK TO AVOID THE DEFENSE OF STEAL.

NICE AWARENESS.

USE YOUR BODY.

THREE-POINT PLAY.

SHOW YOU WHY HE'S ONE OF THE TOP LAYERS OF THE REGION.

Larry: 6'1", SR. 16 POINTS PER GAME.

SIX REBOUNDS A GAME.

70% FROM THE LINE.

A CHANCE WITH A THREE-POINT PLAY.

TALKED ABOUT JARED WHITE GETTING GOING.

HE HAD TWO POINTS IN THE FIRST HABIT HE HAS THREE POINTS IN THE FIRST 90 SECONDS OF THE SECOND.

HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH CEDAR GROVE STARTING OFFENSE FROM HALF COURT.

Sean: THE POINT GUARD HAS TO BE MORE ASSERTIVE TO GET THE BALL INSIDE THE PAIN.

Larry: GREAT JOB I LATIMER.

GOING AGAINST A 6'7", GRAHAM.

ALLEY-OOP TO FLOYD.

Sean: THAT WAS A GREAT FINISH.

GREAT DRIVE-BY GREEN.

GREAT FINISH BY FLIGHT.

BEING UNDER CONTROL AND THESE GUYS WORKED ON THAT A LOT.

Larry: THERE WAS A INBOUND VIOLATION TURNOVER.

ALLEY-OOP ON THE INBOUND.

THEY WILL CALL IT ON LATIMER FOR THE FOUL.

THAT APPEARED TO RATTLE SANDY CREEK FOR A MOMENT.

Sean: HERE'S THE TWO-TO-ONE PRESS FROM CEDAR GROVE.

NOT TO SEE THE THE TEMPO, BUT TO CONTROL THE TEMPO.

Larry: I SENT CORRECTOR, NO FOUL.

BALL OUT OF BOUNDS ON GREEN.

THE ALLEY-OOP A TIME.

BREAKING FREE FROM THE PRESS.

JARED WHITE WITH THE BALL.

TO LATIMER.

TO YOUR POINT, DIFFERENT LOOK FOR CEDAR GROVE.

HELP GET BACK IN THE GAME DURING THE SECOND QUARTER.

Sean: THEY ARE MOVING.

THEY ARE BEING PATIENT.

Larry: RIVERS.

WHITE.

FIVE ON THE SHOT CLOCK.

UP.

IN AND OUT.

FLOYD, THE REBOUND.

Sean: SOMETIMES HIS OWN FORCES THE OFFENSE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OFF-BALANCE.

THAT WAS A GREAT DEFENSIVE CHANGE BY THE COACHING STAFF TO STAY CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONE.

Larry: RECORDER WON'T GO FOR GILLESPIE.

PATRIOTS ARE TRYING TO RUN.

LIGHT.

LATIMER.

BACKED AWAY.

TURN AROUND.

STRINGFIELD, THE REBOUND.

A LITTLE MORE INTENSE FOR BOTH TEAMS COMING OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM.

GREEN, SPIN.

IN.

Sean: THE BALL WAS ABLE TO SHIP SIDE TO SIDE.

NOT A FORCED TEMPO BUT MORE UNDER CONTROL.

THAT'S THE WAY CEDAR GROVE NEEDS THE PLAY.

Larry: WATCHING MANNY GREEN BE MORE AGGRESSIVE.

FLOYD ON THE ATTEMPTED KNOCK AWAY.

I BELIEVE THAT IS HIS SECOND FOUL.

OUT OF BOUNDS.

Sean: YOU DON'T NEED A HOME RUN PLAY IF YOU'RE CEDAR GROVE.

YOU JUST WANT TO GET A SINGLE HERE AND THERE.

AND CONTROL THE TEMPO OF THE GAME.

YOU HEAR ME TALKING ABOUT THAT SECOND HALF, CONTROL THE TEMPO.

Larry: FLORENCE, HEART OFF THE GLASS.

REBOUND.

LATIMER HAD IT AND LOST IT TO STRINGFIELD.

THE SAINTS ON THE RUN TO GREEN.

THE DRIVE.

IN.

IT IS A TIED GAME.

Sean: THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

IN TRANSITION OFFENSIVELY, CEDAR GROVE ARE NOT ACCEPTING THE THREE POINT SHOT AND GETTING TO THE RIM.

Larry: VOYEUR WITH THE STEAL.

GREEN.

THE SAINTS.

VOYEUR TRYING TO SAVE IT IN BOUNDS.

GILLESPIE, A CHANCE TO RETAKE THE LEAD FOR THE FIRST TIME.

LATIMER THE STEAL.

GREEN.

SHORT.

GETS IT BACK.

HARD.

BOYAR CALEXIT.

Sean: HERE WE GO AGAIN.

IT'S NOT A PRETTY GAME BUT AN EFFECTIVE GAME FOR HIM.

MOVE THE BALL, FORTS --FORCED DEFENSE TO WORK.

SCORE INSIDE THE PAINT.

Larry: TURN AROUND WON'T GO.

GILLESPIE, THE REBOUND.

BACK TO BOWYER.

RESETS THE SHOT CLOCK.

BOTH TEAMS TURNING UP THE DEFENSIVE SINCE INTERMISSION.

SHOT CLOCK TO SIX.

BOWYER ON THE DRIVE.

WHITE.

UP AND, NO.

HE IS FOULED.

JARED WHITE.

WE WILL HAVE FREE THROWS WILL MAY COME BACK.

MANNY GREEN, 6'7", JR. 19 POINTS PER GAME.

TAKING OVER THIS GAME IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

IMPOSING HIS WILL ON THE GAME.

AS A RESULT, CEDAR GROVE HAS COME BACK TO TIE IT.

MIGHT BE THE BEST GAME SAVED FOR LAST ON DAY ONE OF A FOUR DAY STAY CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK AT THE MACON CINEPLEX.

THE CHEERLEADERS FROM SANDY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.

AGAIN CEDAR GROVE HIGH SCHOOL.

TWO SUBURBAN ATLANTA SCHOOLS.

CLASS TRANV CHAMPIONSHIP TILT.

BEFORE THE MEDIA TIME-OUT, ON THE FOURTH.

JARED WHITE WAS CALLED FOR HIS FOUL FOR SANDY CREEK.

THAT WILL SEND BOWYER TO THE LINE SHOOTING TWO.

IS ONE OF 3000 POINT SCORERS.

MAKES THE FIRST.

THAT IS THE FIRST LEAD CEDAR GROVE HAD SINCE IT WAS 10-8 IN THE FIRST.

Sean: THEY CHANGED THE DEFENSE.

DOING A LITTLE 2-2-1 PRESS.

NOT GOING TO SEE ABOUT -- Larry: SANDY CREEK IS NOT SCORED FOR MORE THAN 3:30 MINUTES OF THIS GAME.

0 FOR THE LAST 5, FROM THE FLOOR.

THAT ZONE IS CAUSING SOME PROBLEMS THERE.

THE TURNOVER.

GREAT JOB OF STRINGFIELD TO BOWYER.

GILLESPIE, FOR THE LAYOUT.

30 SECOND TIME-OUT BY SANDY CREEK.

Sean: THE 2-3 ZONE CAUSES OFFENSE A SLOWDOWN.

BEING VICARIOUS WITH THEIR ACTIONS.

LAZY PASSES.

CEDAR GROVE IS DOING A GOOD JOB OF CAPITALIZING IN TRANSITION.

GOOD FEED, GOOD FINISH.

Larry: GOOD CONTROL BY GILLESPIE ON THE FINISH.

14 POINT PER GAME SCORER.

FIVE POINTS ON 2 OF SIX THAT SHOOTING.

Sean: AND LOOKING AT SANDY CREEK AND WHAT I AM SEEING IS FATIGUE KICK IN.

DEVIN BUSH AND THE BALL OFFENSIVELY, TRYING TO PRESS DEFENSIVELY.

THIS IS A LONGER COURT THAT THEY ARE PLAYING ON.

NOW THERE IS EXTRA LENGTH.

THEY ADDED EIGHT FEET TO THE CORE.

YEAR AT A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SO YOUR EMOTIONS ARE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL.

IT WOULD NOT BE A BAD THING IF THEY SLOWED THE GAME DOWN DEFENSIVELY.

JUST TO GET A LITTLE BREAK BEFORE THE FOURTH.

Larry: NICKERSON IS TRYING TO CALM HIS PATRIOTS DOWN ON THE LAST TIME UP.

THIS IS NOT A VERY DEEP TEAM.

CEDAR GROVE IS NOT.

JON-MICHAEL NICKERSON KNOWS THAT WILL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LACK OF DEPTH.

THIS ZONE IS WORKING FOR THE SAINTS IN THIS ONE.

WHITE IS UP AND IN.

BATTLE FOR THE REBOUND.

GETS IT.

WHITE, FRUSTRATION FOUL.

SECOND QUICKLY IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MINUTES.

Sean: CEDAR GROVE IS FORTUNATE ON THE DEFENSE POSSESSION.

THEY ARE NOT SECURING THE BALL OFF THE MISSED BASKETS.

ALL FIVE GUYS HAVE TO REBOUND THE BALL.

Larry: CEDAR GROVE OUTSCORING THE PATRIOTS, 12 TO 5 DURING THE QUARTER.

THEY GOT FLOYD -- FLORENCE, ON THE RICH ROOM.

COACH NICKERSON CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

HE RAN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BENCH TO SIT DOWN.

Sean: HE MIGHT GET ONE.

THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT.

Larry: HE IS STILL AT THE END OF THE BUNCH.

HERE IS A LOOK AT IT.

HE GOT HIM ON THE REACH AROUND.

THE SAINTS HAVE MOMENTUM.

FOYER.

BOWYER.

WHITE, TRYING TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

BACK UP FRONT TO HAWKINS.

FLORENCE GETS A BLOCK.

GETS IT BACK.

OFFENSIVE FOUL ON FLORENCE FOR THE ELBOW TO THE FACE.

IT WILL GO THE OTHER WAY.

ONE MORE LOOK.

Sean: THAT WAS AN ELBOW TO THE HEAD., THEY MIGHT HAVE A CONFERENCE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THEY GATHERED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

SENT THE PLAYERS TO THEIR BENCHES.

Sean: NOT THE KIND OF BASKETBALL PLAY YOU WANT.

I UNDERSTAND IT'S A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, FATIGUE IS THERE, EMOTIONS ARE THERE, BUT THE OFFICIALS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB CLEANING UP AND TALKING ABOUT IT SO PLAY CAN MOVE ON.

Larry: ONE MORE LOOK.

IT IS IN THE CYLINDER.

I THINK THE FACT THAT HE LOOKED AT THEM FIRST -- THAT'S HIS THIRD FOUL.

LEADING SCORER OF THE GAME.

YOU CAN SEE HIS NUMBERS.

12 POINTS THE FIRST SEPARATE SHUTOUT IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

THAT IS PART OF THE REASON SANDY CREEK'S OFFENSE HAS NOT GONE FAR.

Sean: THE TEMPO OF THE GAME HAS CHANGED.

CEDAR GROVE HAS A GREAT JOB CONTROLLING IT ON A DEFENSIVE END.

A LOT OF TIMES I WANT TO CONTROL IT ON THE OFFENSIVE AND.

DEFENSIVELY THEY SLOWED THE TEMPO DOWN.

OFFENSIVELY THEY WANT TO BE MORE SURGICAL WITH HOW THEY SCORE THE BALL.

Larry: OKEKE IN THE GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR SANDY CREEK.

WHITE CALL FOR A FOUL ON THE BACKBOARD.

THAT IS HIS THIRD FOUL QUICKLY.

ANTONIO RIVERS, THE JUNIOR IS ABOUT TO CHECK IN FOR SANDY CREEK.

IN PLACE OF ROBINSON.

ONE MORE LOOK AT THE FOUL.

Sean: THAT WAS A FOUL.

I'M GIVING KUDOS TO SPRINGVILLE.

THIS KID IS SAFE WITH US.

HE'S HAVING TO BE THE PRIMARY BALLHANDLER OF CEDAR GROVE.

IS GOT TO HIT THE FREE THROWS SO THEY CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT GOING INTO THE SECOND HALF.

Larry: HE MISSED THE FIRST, HERE IS THE SECOND.

SECOND ONE IS SHORT.

THEY CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE.

Sean: MAKE THEM MISS.

A CONTROLLED PRESS.

NOT PRESSURE TO FORCE THE TEMPO FASTER, IT IS TO SLOW EVERYTHING DOWN.

Larry: INSIDE.

OKEKE, TO FINISH.

OKEKE, WITH THE BASKET.

SCORING DROUGHT FOR SANDY CREEK.

ENDED.

TWO POINT GAME.

INSIDE ONE MINUTE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

MANNY GREEN HAS BEEN QUIET.

LET AMERICA'S ON HIM.

THE BALL WAS STRIPPED.

GREAT JOB BY OKEKE.

LATIMER HAS THE BALL.

TRYING TO PUSH.

GETTING IT BACK TO WHITE.

INSIDE JUMPER FROM 12.

IN AND OUT.

Sean: THAT IS THE TEMPO THAT SANDY CREEK WANTS.

THEY WANT A TRACK MEET., GOOD-LOOKING SHOT AND PLAY.

JARED WHITE, THE SENIOR FOR SANDY CREEK.

GREEN, WORKING.

BOWYER.

UNDER TEND TO GO.

STRINGFIELD.

OFFENSIVE FOUL.

Sean: THAT IS FATIGUE BASKETBALL.

EVERYONE NOW WANTS TO GO ONE-ON-ONE.

YOU HAVE 13 SECONDS.

NOW, 2.7.

MOVE THE BALL TO GET THE LAST SECOND SHOT.

Larry: YOU CAN SEE THE OFFICIALS IN THE RICE FIVE.

THE ARM IS CLEAR OUT.

THEY WILL CALL THERE EVERY TIME.

CHINA CLOSE OUT WITH A BUCKET.

THEY CANNOT DO IT.

WE HAVE COME TO THE END OF THREE QUARTERS IN MACON.

WHAT A CONTEST FOR THE 3A CHAMPIONSHIP.

SANDY CREEK TRYING TO BATTLE BACK AND PULLS WITHIN TWO.

EIGHT MINUTES AGO.

WE WILL GET BACK TO LIVE ACTION, NEXT.

WELCOME BACK TO THE MACON COLISEUM.

GETTING READY FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER.

GOT TIME TO SPEND IN EACH HUDDLE AS WE GET READY FOR THE FINAL EIGHT MINUTES.

HAD COACH NICKERSON BASICALLY SAID LEAVE NO REGRETS.

HE ALSO WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE WANT THAT HIS TEAM HAS ON THE FLOOR.

THE FLIPSIDE FOR CEDAR GROVE, TALK TO COACH TERRY, HE'S INTERESTED IN AGGRESSIVENESS ON THE RIM.

HE THINKS THEY CAN SO GET TO THE RIM BEFORE SANDY CREEK TO KEEP THE ADVANTAGE AND GET THE TITLE.

LET'S SEND IT TO LARRY -- ONE THING THAT COACH DICKERSON TOLD NELLY GOING INTO HALFTIME, HE SAID WE NEED MORE FROM JARED WHITE.

56% SHOOTER ON THE SEASON.

2 OF 12 TONIGHT FOR FIVE POINTS.

12 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF, FLORENCE.

Sean: SANDY CREEK, GET THE TEMPO OF THE GAME BACK BY BEING PATIENT FOR GOOD SHOTS.

DON'T TAKE THE QUICK SHOT.

BE PATIENT.

IF YOU'RE CEDAR GROVE, STAY WITH HER ZONE BUT FIVE PLAYERS HAVE TO REBOUND THE BALL.

Larry: BOTH TEAMS PLAYING EVENLY.

REJECTED BY FLOOD.

GREAT EFFORT TO GET INTO THE HANDS OF LATIMER.

OFFENSIVE REBOUND.

GREAT JOB BY HAWKINS.

HE WENT UP HIGH TO SAVE THAT.

Sean: THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID.

FIVE PLAYERS HAVE TO REBOUND THE BALL IN THE ZONE.

EVERYONE ELSE CANNOT LOOK GREAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A RUN DEFENDER, YOUR TEAMMATES HAVE TO SECURE THE REBOUND.

Larry: TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PENETRATE THIS OFF THE FOOT OF FLOYD.

NICE ACTION BY RIVERS, NUMBER FOUR.

TRYING TO GET THE BALL INSIDE TO OKEKE.

Sean: IT IS OKAY FOR SANDY CREEK TO BE PATIENT WITH GOOD SHOTS.

YOU DON'T WANT BACHELORS.

THOSE ARE JUST LIKE TURNOVERS.

Larry: IF YOU WONDER WHY LATIMER IS WEARING NUMBER 24, HE HAD A NASTY CUT OVER HIS EYE WHEN HE LANDED HARD ON THE FLOOR.

THE SHOT CLOCK WAS WINDING DOWN.

UP BY TWO, TRYING TO BUILD ON THE LEAD TO TAKE ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Sean: IMPORTANT POSSESSION BY CEDAR GROVE.

YOU WANT TO USE THE CLOCK A LITTLE BIT.

GET THE BALL INSIDE.

FORCE THE DEFENSE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE.

Larry: FLOYD, WORKING INSIDE.

THAT WON'T GO.

GREAT JOB BY OKEKE TO DENY HIM.

GREAT EFFORT.

GIVING UP FIVE INCHES.

HE'S ONLY 645 -- FLOYD, AGAIN.

ALREADY IN DOUBLE DIGITS IN REBOUNDS.

PULLS DOWN ANOTHER ONE.

FLOYD IS ABOUT TO CHECK BACK IN FOR SANDY CREEK.

BOTH TEAMS AFTER THE DEFENSE.

Sean: USE THE CLOCK.

Larry: FLOYD TO STRINGFIELD.

IT IS OFF.

OUT OF BOUNDS ON FLOYD.

Sean: THAT ZONE IS EFFECTIVE FOR CEDAR GROVE.

FLOYD IS PROTECTING THE RIM DOING A GOOD JOB INSIDE THE PAINT OFFENSIVELY.

OFFENSIVELY HE HAS SOMETHING TO FINISH.

BACK DOWN TO THE ZONE.

CEDAR GROVE TRYING TO CONTROL THE TEMPO.

Larry: YOU SUCK OKEKE COME BACK AT FLORENCE, STILL THE LEADING SCORER.

HE HAS YET TO SCORE IN THE SECOND HALF.

HE GETS SET TO GO.

14 POINT OF THE NIGHT.

WE ARE TIED, 30-30.

Sean: GREAT PATIENTS BY SANDY CREEK.

IT LED TO AN EASY PASS ON THE SIDE FOR A LAYUP.

Larry: UNDER SIX TO GO.

TY, 30-30.

GREEN, THE BALL.

COACHES TALKED ABOUT HOW HE CARRIED THE TEAM DOWN THE STRETCH DURING THE PLAYOFFS.

INSIDE FOR FLOOD.

USING HIS FRAME.

THAT WILL NOT GO.

LATIMER.

DID THAT GO?

FLORENCE.

PUTS IT IN.

THE PATRIOTS GO BACK ON TOP.

Sean: IF I'M CEDAR GROVE, CALL A TIME-OUT.

THE REASON, THE FOUL JUST HELP BECAUSE FATIGUE IS KICKING IN.

Larry: TIME-OUT.

WE TALKED ABOUT FLORENCE AND HOW HE HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING HERE SCORING WISE THE SECOND HALF.

CHANGING THAT.

HAWKINS TO FLORENCE.

TWO STRAIGHT BUCKETS AND SANDY CREEK IS BACK ON TOP.

CHECKING IN WITH JON NELSON TELLING US THAT CHOKE -- COACH NICKERSON IS TELLING HIS BIG GUYS TO MAKE SURE THEY OUT IN SIDE.

AND TO GET THE GUARDS TO WORK ON REBOUNDS.

Sean: SANDY CREEK IS DOING A GREAT JOB EMBRACING PATIENTS.

THEY'RE GETTING GOOD SHOTS AT THE RIM.

ONCE THE BALL HAS MOVED BECAUSE FATIGUE IS KICKING IN BOTH WAYS.

SANDY CREEK USING THEIR BENCH AND STRENGTH, THEY WILL GET LAYUPS.

THAT'S HELPFUL WHEN DOWN THE STRETCH.

Larry: COACH NICKERSON PLAYED FOUR YEARS AT KENNESAW SACRED EIGHTH YEAR OF HEAD COACH OF SANDY CREEK.

HE CLIMBED THE COACHING LETTER TO GET HERE.

ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A COACH.

A BASKETBALL COACH.

GREAT ATHLETE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.

NOW, TRYING TO GET HIS TEAM PAST THE FINAL FIVE MINUTES AND ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

GREEN WORKING INSIDE ON LATIMER.

HARD TO MOVE HIM OUT OF THE WAY.

HE IS LIKE A STONE WALL.

Sean: HE HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB USES BODY AND STRENGTH ESPECIALLY DOWN LOW.

THEY ISOLATE HIM WITH THE SIZE AND STRENGTH.

Larry: LOOK AT BOWYER GETTING THAT TO GO.

Sean: THE SMALLEST MAN ON THE COURT WITH THE BIGGEST HEART.

Larry: RIVERS.

DIDN'T MATTER.

IF THERE'S A WILL THERE IS A WAY.

Sean: NOT A BAD MOVE BY CEDAR GROVE TO SHOW A DIFFERENT DEFENSE.

YOU HAVE BIG GUARDS OUT THERE USING THEIR LENGTH.

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THIS POSSESSION?

Larry: GREEN AT THAT POINT OF ATTACK.

TO DISRUPT THE VISION OF THE GUARD.

SMART MOVE HERE.

CORNER.

THAT WILL NOT GO.

FLOYD, THE REBOUND.

Sean: THESE COACHES ARE COACHING TERRI HINES OFF.

CHANGING DEFENSE.

BEING STRATEGIC.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD BASKETBALL GAME.

Larry: IT IS.

LATIMER FALLS DOWN.

OPEN FOR GREEN.

Sean: THAT WAS IN ISOLATION SET UP FOR THE BACKUP.

GOOD CALL FOR CEDAR GROVE.

Larry: BACK TO BACK BASKETS FOR THE SAINTS.

THEY ARE BACK ON TOP BY A DEUCE.

UNDER FOR TO GO.

WHITE LOOKING FOR --ONLY HIS THIRD BASKET OF THE GAME.

JARED WHITE.

HE TIES IT FOR SANDY CREEK.

Sean: LET'S SEE WHAT BOTH COACHES DO.

IT IS CAT AND MOUSE.

Larry: COACH TERRY IS STANDING ON THE SIDELINE.

GREEN IS PLAYING HIS HEART OUT.

BOWYER, WON'T GO.

FLORENCE, COLLECTS THE REBOUND.

Sean: NOT THE SHOT YOU WANT.

Larry: TIME-OUT.

COACH NICKERSON WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT.

WE WILL TAKE A TIME-OUT ON GPB.

UNDER THREE TO GO.

DON'T YOU GO ANYWHERE.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS ON THE LINE.

22 COACH CAMDEN TERRY SAID HIS SENIOR GROVE SAINTS GOT HIT IN THE MOUTH EARLY WITH A LOSS.

THEY LEARNED YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW UP AND THINK THEY WILL WIN.

THEY CERTAINLY HAVE NOT JUST SHOWN UP HERE.

THEY HAVE JUST PLAYED THE SANDY CREEK TEAM TOE TO TOE.

THEY ARE TIED WITH UNDER THREE MINUTES TO GO.

Sean: AND COACH TERRY TOLD US THAT THE DECEMBER BREAK, IT CHANGED THEM.

THEY HAVE NOT LOST SINCE 20 GAMES IN A ROW.

NOW LET'S SEE THE STRATEGIES BETWEEN BOTH BENCHES.

CEDAR GROVE WANT TO COME HERE AND ESTABLISH THEMSELVES CONTROLLING TEMPO.

SANDY CREEK, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

ATTACK WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY IS THERE.

ALL FIVE PLAYERS FROM SANDY CREEK, YOU HAVE TO REBOUND TO SECURE THE BALL AND COME DOWN ON TURNOVERS.

NOBODY NEEDS TO FORCE THE TEMPO.

THAT THE GAMEPLAY IS SIMPLE BE MORE POISED WITH POSSESSION OF THE BALL.

Larry: TIED, 34-34.

WE HAVE GOT THREE MORE DAYS OF CHAMPIONSHIP TO COMPARE 12 MORE GAMES AFTER THIS ONE.

THE PATRIOTS HAVE THE BALL OUT OF THE TIME-OUT.

FLORENCE.

HAWKINS, TO FLORENCE.

LOOKS FOR THE THREE.

HAWKINS, AGAIN.

TRYING TO WORK IT INSIDE TO FLORENCE.

THAT WILL NOT GO.

THE PUT BACK, YES.

Sean: TALKING ABOUT REBOUNDING.

SECOND CHANCE OPPORTUNITIES.

ATTACKING THE RIM.

SECOND CHANCE REBOUND, TWO POINT GAME.

Larry: FLORENCE HAVE HALF OF SANDY CREEK'S POINTS.

GREEN GETS OF THE GO AND THE FOUL.

CHANCE FOR THE THREE-POINT PLAY FOR THE JUNIOR FOR THE SAINTS.

Sean: EVERY POSSESSION IS IMPORTANT.

NICE BODY CONTROL.

MANNY GREEN.

HE IS SHOWING YOU WHY EVERYONE THINKS HE IS A TOP IN THE STATE.

Larry: THE COACHES SAID HE CAME INTO HIS OWN.

HE IS A UNICORN.

LOVES TO SEE HIS TEAMMATES 60.

CANNOT GET THE THREE-POINT PLAY AS IT BOUNCES AWAY.

WE ARE TIED ONCE AGAIN.

FLORENCE.

AIRBALL.

SOME CONTACT.

NO CALL.

BRINGS A DOWN.

THE SAINTS WITH A CHANCE TO GO ON TOP.

GREEN, STRIPS BY WEIGHT.

TWO ONTO BREAK.

WHITE TAKES IT.

RECHECKED BY STRINGFIELD.

POWER TO THE HOOP.

HE HAS FOULED.

BY LATIMER.

THAT WILL SEND BOWYER TO THE LINE WITH 1:33, TO GO.

Sean: INTERESTING BASKETBALL.

DEFENSE ASSERTED THE TRANSITION.

BOWYER GOING TO THE RIM.

THE SMALLEST GUY ON THE COURT.

STRATEGY WISE, IF I AM CEDAR GROVE, I AM CALLING A TIME-OUT ON THE SECOND MAKES.

COACH TERRY CAN CALL A TIME-OUT TO GIVE US TEAM A CHANCE TO REST.

EVERY POSSESSION IS IMPORTANT.

TRIM BOTH FREE THROWS ARE AWAY.

THE LAST TIME-OUT, CEDAR GROVE, COACH TERRY TELLING HIS GUYS DON'T LET THE MOMENT GET TOO BIG.

UNDER 90 SECONDS TO GO.

CLASS TRANV CHAMPIONSHIP.

LATIMER WORKING INSIDE.

GETS THAT'S A GO.

TOUGHEST PLAYER ON THE COURT.

THE CUT ABOVE HIS RIGHT EYE WOULD NOT STOP HIM.

GLUED TOGETHER AND HIT THE BIGGEST SHOT OF THE SEASON SO FAR FOR SANDY CREEK.

UP BY TWO.

ONE MINUTE TO GO.

GREEN, LOSES THE.

STRINGFIELD GETS IT BACK.

THE HANDS OF GILLESPIE.

THE SHOT CLOCK AT 10.

GLASPIE UP AGAINST LATIMER.

HE IS CALLED FOR THE FOUL.

LATIMER CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

THAT IS HIS THIRD FOUL.

IT WAS SENT GILLESPIE TO THE LINE.

Sean: BIG-TIME BASKETBALL BEING PLAYED BY BOTH TEAMS.

NO ONE SETTLING FOR THE JUMPSHOT.

GETTING TO THE RIM.

Larry: HE GETS THAT'S A GO.

Sean: CEDAR GROVE HAS FOUR TIMEOUTS, CEDAR --SANDY CREEK HAS THREE.

Larry: THE LINE HAS NOT BEEN KIND EXCEPT TO GILLESPIE.

GETS BOTH.

THE SAINTS ARE TIED BACK TO 38-38.

Sean: CEDAR GROVE HAS THE REBOUND.

GOOD TIME-OUT.

Larry: TIME-OUT BY SANDY CREEK.

WE WILL STAY HERE AS THEY TALK IT OVER WITH 38 SECONDS TO GO.

TIED, 38-3.

THE FOUR CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE DAY.

HOLY INNOCENTS SWEEPING THE PRIVATE CLASSIFICATIONS.

GIRLS AND BOYS.

TURKEY BLUFF WINNING THE GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP JUST BEFORE THIS ONE.

Sean: LET'S LOOK AT THE SCENARIO.

TIED GAME, FOURTH QUARTER.

12 SECOND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHOT AND GAIN CLOCK.

THERE IS NO PRESSURE.

CEDAR GROVE CAN GAMBLE.

NO PRESSURE FOR SANDY CREEK, AS WELL.

YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO HAVE GOOD MOVEMENT, REVERSED THE BALL AND GET A GREAT POSSESSION.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS.

IF THERE IS A MATE SHOT, CEDAR GROVE AM CALLING A TIME-OUT.

IF IT IS MISSED, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PLAY THROUGH.

PUT YOURSELF INTO A POSITION TO WIN WITH A LAST-SECOND SHOT.

Larry: COACH TERRY, MAKING A CALL.

FOOTBALL MENTALITY.

HE SAID HE REALLY HAD TO LEARN WHEN HE WAS GOING FROM FOOTBALL TO BASKETBALL TO STEP BACK AND SEPARATE HIMSELF AND BE A DIFFERENT COACH.

HE SPENT THE OFF-SEASON GOING TO MORE CAMPS AND LEARNING MORE BEFORE THE STUDENTS OF THE GAME.

NOW HE HAS HIS TEAM ON THE HUNT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Sean: BEING AROUND DIFFERENT SPORTS YOU SEE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND HOW TO APPLY THOSE TO WHERE YOU ARE.

IF YOU WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, A TIED GAME, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POSSESSION OF TONIGHT'S CONTEST.

Larry: IT IS.

COACH NICKERSON EARLIER CHALLENGING HIS TEAM THE LAST TOTAL.

THE CORNER JUMPER WILL BE THERE.

THEY HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE LEAD IN THE FOURTH BY GOING INSIDE AND NOT SHOOTING THE JUMPER.

BOTH TEAMS GOING TO THE BASKET.

INBOUND TO RIVERS.

GUARDED BY BOWYER.

SHOT CLOCK AT 20.

SANDY CREEK HAD TO CALL ANOTHER TIME-OUT TO BAIL THEM OUT.

THEY HAVE ONE LEFT.

THE COACH IS ASKING WHY YOU ARE PICKING YOUR BALL OF THERE?

Sean: THIS IS INTERESTING.

18 SECONDS ON THE SHOT CLOCK.

THEY WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY.

MORE OF A QUICK HITTER THAN TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT ACTIONS.

POSSESSION FOR SANDY CREEK WITH A TIED GAME.

ALMOST 30 SECONDS TO GO.

Larry: THE STARS OF THE GAME IN THIS ONE --THE CHEERLEADERS FROM CEDAR GROVE.

ELLEN WOULD.

A COUPLE REBOUNDS FOR MANNY GREEN.

Sean: WILL HE PLAY MAN OR THE 2-3 ZONE?

Larry: FLORENCE HAS A DOUBLE/DOUBLE.

THE MATCH CONTINUES.

ADDING TO THE DRAMA, TWO COACHES WHO KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL.

COACH NICKERSON RIGHT THERE.

COACH TERRY OF CEDAR GROVE.

BACK TO LIVE PLAY.

RIVERS.

GUARDED BY BOWYER.

TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO WHITE.

Sean: ISOLATION UP TOP.

Larry: WHITE, DRIVES.

TO RIVERS.

SHOT CLOCK TO FIVE.

LATIMER GETS THAT UP AND FOULED.

Sean: THAT HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

LATIMER HAD NOT SHOT A THREE THE ENTIRE GAME.

YOU'RE CLOSING OUT SO CLOSE THAT IT IS GOING TO DRIVE YOU TO THE ROOM.

THIS IS A TOUGH KID.

Larry: EARLIER HE SLAMMED HIS FACE DOWN ON A LAYUP ATTEMPT.

HE WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND HIT THE GROUND WITH HIS HEAD.

THAT'S WHY HE HAS A BIG GAS.

JON NELSON WAS TELLING US THEY GLUED TISHA.

HE HAD BLOOD ON HIS JERSEY.

NOW HE SWITCHED TO 24 AT HALFTIME.

MADE THE FIRST OF TWO.

AND A TIME-OUT CALLED BY CEDAR GROVE.

ONE SUCH TODDLER.

ONE POINT GAME WITH 12.5 LEFT.

Sean: THAT'S NOT A BAD TIME-OUT.

I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE BALL SCREEN AT HALF COURT, MORE OF ATTACK MODE.

I WOULD CALL TIME-OUT TO SET THE DEFENSE.

HE MISSED SHOT, YOU GET A CHANCE TO TAP IT.

TO STILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR A TIME-OUT.

EITHER WAY YOU GET A FOUL.

PUTS CEDAR GROVE --ANY CREEK AT THE FREE THROW.

Larry: DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO RUN THE CLOCK DOWN.

GET A SHOT QUICKLY.

IF YOU DON'T GET IT, GET A CHANCE AT A SECOND BASKET.

LIKE YOU SAID, IF YOU DON'T GET THE REBOUND CALL A TIME-OUT AND YOU HAVE NEW LIFE AND TIME ON THE CLOCK.

Sean: CAT AND MOUSE AND CHESS --SANDY CREEK PLAYER ZONE, TO GIVE THEM A DIFFERENT LOOK.

THE PLAY ZONE ALL NIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN PRESSURING THE BALL.

IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE MATCH BETWEEN BOTH COACHES WITH 12 SECONDS TO GO.

Larry: FINAL INSTRUCTIONS NOW.

BOTH COACHES ARE INTENSE.

Sean: YOU DON'T NEED A JUMPSHOT.

YOU HAVE TO CLEAN OUT THE WEAK SIDE.

GET THE DRIVE TO THE RIM.

LOOKS LIKE CEDAR CREEK --SANDY CREEK WILL COME OUT TO MAN-TO-MAN, FULL-COURT PRESSURE.

CEDAR GROVE WILL PUT IT INTO THE POINT GUARDS HAND, POWER.

Larry: STRINGFIELD, AND BOUND.

ACROSS THE TIMELINE.

A TIME-OUT AGAIN BY CEDAR GROVE.

COACH TERRY DID NOT LIKE WHAT THEY DID THERE.

NOT SURE WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO A POST TO WHAT HE CALLED?

Sean: HE WANTED IT IN FRONT OF THE BENCH VERSUS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HALF COURT.

HE WANTED IT FROM THE BENCH TO MAKE AN ISOLATION PLAY FROM THE SIDELINE, OUT OF BOUNDS.

HE'S TRYING TO CREATE AN INSIDE PLAY ADVANTAGE OUT OF BOUNDS VERSUS THE DRIVE.

Larry: LOOK INSIDE THE CEDAR GROVE HUDDLE.

COACH NICKERSON IS TALKING TO HIS ASSISTANCE.

8.1 ON THE CLOCK.

TURN TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO CEDAR CREEK --SANDY CREEK IS YOUR SIZE.

YOU WANT THE INSIDE OUT PRESENCE.

POST UP YOUR BEST PLAYER.

IF I'M CEDAR GROVE, I'M GOING TO POST UP, I WILL NOT PLAY STOP FLOYD.

HE CAN CREATE A BACK SCREEN FOR A SHOOTER.

YOU HAVE TWO ACTIONS GOING ON.

SANDY CREEK, WHAT WE DO?

PLAY MAN-TO-MAN OR JUMPER?

Larry: 8.1, LEFT.

LOOK AT CAMDEN TERRY.

ME AND THE KIDS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

IT MADE SENSE FOR ME TO TAKE OVER THE JOB BECAUSE I KNEW ALL THE PLAYERS.

Sean: HERE WE GO WITH THE CHESS MATCH.

Larry: COACH NICKERSON WANTS TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD SET UP SO HE TAKES HIS FINAL TIME-OUT.

CHANGING HIS DEFENSE.

Sean: HE COULD CHANGE THE DEFENSE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT KIND OF OFFENSIVE SET UP CEDAR GROVE HAS.

IT LOOKS LIKE A BASELINE SCREEN FOR THE POST PLAYER.

IF NOT, A FLARE SCREEN UP TOP FOR A DRIVE FOR YOUR BEST PLAYER ON THE PERIMETER.

THERE ARE TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT ACTIONS GOING ON OFFENSIVELY ON HOW TO DEFEND IT.

WITH THE MAN-TO-MAN INSTEAD OF FRONTING THE POST.

STAY BEHIND THE POST.

MAKE THEM SCORE OR TO THE ZONE TO MAKE THEM PLAY ON THE PERIMETER.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD TIME-OUT.

Larry: THEY WILL PUT ON THE FLOOR, LATIMER, WHITE, FLORENCE, OKEKE AND RIVERS.

THAT IS FOR SANDY CREEK.

FOR CEDAR GROVE, PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FIVE THEY HAVE GONE WITH ALL NIGHT.

WE DID SEE.

PLAY EARLIER FOR A COUPLE MOMENTS.

OTHERWISE IT HAS BEEN THE SAME FIVE.

SANDY CREEK, NO MORE TIMEOUTS.

CEDAR GROVE HAS TWO.

8.1 TO GO.

SIDELINE, OUT OF BOUNDS.

POWER TO TRIGGER IT.

Sean: WHAT DID THEY DO?

HE WENT TO THE 2-3 ZONE.

A DIFFERENT LOOK.

A VERY STRATEGIC MOVE BY COACH NICKERSON AND STAFF.

Larry: YOU ASKED ABOUT THAT WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO HIM A COUPLE DAYS AGO.

HE SAID HE LIKES TO MIX THE DEFENSE BUT YOU CAN SENSE THAT HE GETS SUPERSTITIOUS.

HE WANTS TO STICK WITH WHAT HE KNOWS, WHAT IS TRIED AND TRUE.

HE WENT AGAINST WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO AND FELT LIKE WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO THEIR FOR CEDAR GROVE TO CALL ANOTHER TIME-OUT.

Sean: OF YOUR CEDAR GROVE, YOU SAVED TIMEOUTS.

TALK ABOUT THE CAT AND MOUSE SITUATION AND HERE WE GO.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?

CEDAR GROVE WITH ONE TIME-OUT, YOU HAVE TO THROW OUT TWO TYPES OF ACTIONS.

THE PRESENCE OF MAN VERSUS THE ZONE.

THE BASELINE SCREEN AND IF NOT YOU WANT TO LOP TO THE RIM.

USE ATHLETIC ABILITY TO THROW IT ON TOP OF THE FENCE.

Larry: NOW WE WILL TRY AGAIN.

8.1, LEFT.

CLASS TRANIII BOYS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

TWO TEENS ANNOY EACH OTHER WELL.

THEY MET HERE, THEY MET IN FOOTBALL.

THE GAME A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN GEORGIA STATE CAMPUS, SANDY CREEK WON WITH A CONTROVERSIAL FINISH.

STRINGFIELD TO AND BOUND.

BOWYER, BACKCOURT.

SMART TO LET IT BOUNCE.

BOWYER.

STRINGFIELD.

INSIDE FOR FLOYD.

BOWYER, FOR THREE.

SANDY CREEK DOES IT.

WHAT A GAME BY THE PATRIOTS FROM SANDY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.

WHAT A SEASON FOR CEDAR GROVE, AS WELL.

THE SAINTS.

32 MINUTES OF OUTSTANDING BASKETBALL FOR BOTH TEAMS.

Sean: HATS OFF TO BOTH COACHES.

YOU WANT TO WATCH GOOD HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL, PLAY BEST TO A TEE.

THE CHESS GAME, BOTH COACHES DID A FANTASTIC JOB.

CONGRATULATIONS TO SANDY CREEK.

Larry: JUST OUTSTANDING BASKETBALL.

CEDAR GROVE, 28 AND 4.

THEY HAVE COME THIS CLOSE BUT JUST SHORT.

SANDY CREEK, 29 AT 3 ON THE SEASON.

WHAT A GAME TONIGHT.

FLORENCE, 18 POINTS, 12 REBOUNDS.

LET'S GO TO JON NELSON NOW.

THANK YOU, LARRY SMITH.

TIME TO PRESENT THE LAST TROPHY OF DAY NUMBER ONE.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, A SHOT OUT TO CENTER --CEDAR GROVE.

TO PRESENT THE TROPHY, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DR. TIM SCOTT AND YOUR FRIENDS AT BROUGHT A PEST MANAGEMENT.

WHAT A GREAT GAME WE HAD TONIGHT.

I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO CEDAR GROVE HIGH SCHOOL.

AS THE RUNNER-UP.

I'M BEHALF OF THE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION PRESENTING THE TROPHY IS BROUGHT A PEST MANAGEMENT.

TO THE STATE CHAMPIONS -- CONGRATULATIONS, SANDY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL!

YOU MADE A POINT TO TELL THESE GUYS IN ONE OF THE LAST TOTALS DOWN THE STRETCH THAT YOU GOT HERE BECAUSE OF YOUR DEFENSE AND YOU WERE GOING TO WIN BECAUSE OF YOUR DEFENSE.

YOU DID EXACTLY THAT TO GO THREE IN A ROW.

I'M NOT SURPRISED.

THUS, AGAIN, ON REPEAT.

BEST DEFENSE IN THE STATE.

EVERYBODY COUNTED US OUT.

WE HEARD YOU.

THANK YOU.

AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO PASS IT OVER TO SOMEBODY I WANT YOU TO TALK TO.

TALK TO JARED WHITE.

HE DESERVES IT.

BEFORE WE WRAP THINGS UP AND COME BACK HERE REAL QUICK -- THREE IN A ROW, HOW DOES IT FEEL?

THEY COUNTED US OUT ALL YEAR.

I GUESS THEY CANNOT COUNT.

THAT IS THE EARLY RETURN FROM THE COLOSSEUM.

WE WILL BE BACK AFTER THIS TO PUT A BOW ON DAY NUMBER ONE ON THE GREAT GPB.

SANDY CREEK, SANDY CREEK, SANDY CREEK, STATE CHAMPS!

Larry: SANDY CREEK GETTING IT DONE FOR THE THIRD TIME.

SEAN, LET'S LOOK AT THE FINAL EIGHT SECONDS WITH THE EFFORT THEY PUT OUT TO CLOSE IT OUT.

Sean: WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

THE ZONE FORCED THE PERIMETER PLAY FOR CEDAR GROVE.

THEY WERE NOT PREPARED FOR THAT BALLGAME.

GREAT COACHING.

I CANNOT GET OVER THE COACHING FROM BOTH SQUADS.

COACH NICKERSON HAD HIS TEAM PREPARED.

MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.

Larry: HE SAID THAT EVERYBODY WROTE US OFF.

HE SAID TO BE HERE WE ARE PLAYING WITH HOUSE MONEY.

THEY CAST INTO EVERY THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, SANDY CREEK IS CHAMPIONS OF CLASS 3A.

WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE AFTER THIS.

IN BACK HERE LIVE IN MACON.

WHAT A THRILLING FINISH.

AN EXCITING FIRST DAY OF CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL.

CYNICALLY, 39-3.

SEAN, YOU TALK ABOUT THE WAY THIS THING WENT.

IT IS JUST AMAZING TO SEE HOW THEY FINISH THIS UP.

LET'S GO BACK TO JON NELSON.

THANK YOU.

TIME TO CATCH UP WITH THE PLAYER OF THE GAME PRESENTED BY FRIENDS AT BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT.

WE WILL GIVE IT TO THE GUY WHO HAS THE BAND-AID.

WAS ALIKE OUT THERE TONIGHT?

A DEFENSIVE STRUGGLE AT TIMES.

ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WAS ALIKE DOWN THE STRETCH FOR YOU MAKING THE KEY BUCKETS?

WE HAD TO PERSEVERE.

THEY HAD SOME BIG GUYS.

WE HAD DIVERSITY LIKE THIS BEFORE AND WE HAD TO OVERCOME AND PLAY HARDER THAN WE USUALLY DO.

I LOVE MY TEAM.

I COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT THEM.

SILKEN LIKE A FOUR STAR RUNNING BACK.

THIS THREE-STAR RIDE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ON, WINNING, WINNING, WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE ON THIS RIGHT FOR SANDY CREEK TO COME THROUGH AGAIN FOR A REPEAT.

COACH NICKERSON SAID TO --THEY WERE COUNTING YOU OUT AND KICKING DIRT ON YOU.

WE HAD A LOT OF HATERS.

THE COACH IS A GREAT COACH.

IN PRACTICE HE PUSHES US AS HARD AS WE CAN GO.

WITHOUT OUR COACHES WE WOULD NOT BE AT THIS POINT.

CHEMICAL CELEBRATE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

ONCE AGAIN, THE PLAYER OF THE GAME INTERVIEW BROUGHT TO US BY BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT.

HELP BUT -- Larry: LATIMER WEARING THE JERSEY SCORES THE FINAL THREE POINTS OF THE GAME FOR SANDY CREEK.

THE BUCKET TO TIE IT WITH 14 SECONDS LEFT.

THIS WAS NOT A PRETTY OFFENSIVE GAME FOR THE BEST PLAYER FOR THEM, 3 OF 15 SHOOTING.

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Sean: IS NOT HOW YOU START OR FINISH.

IT IS A CHAMPIONSHIP THING.

WHEN YOU WANT TO GET A RING YOU HAVE TO DEFEND.

REBOUND AND PLAY WITH HEART AND PASSION.

THE SANDY CREEK PATRIOTS SHOWCASED THAT TONIGHT.

Larry: THEY WILL TAKE ON THE TITLE ONCE AGAIN.

FOUR GAMES IN THE BOOKS.

WE ARE FAR FROM.

WE HAVE THREE MORE DAYS.

12 MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS TO BE DECIDED BUT WHAT A WAY TO START HERE IN MACON.

COACH TERRY AND HIS SAINTS.

COACH NICKERSON, TRYING TO GO FOR THE THREE PEAT.

NO DOMINANT BIG MAN BEING RECRUITED BY COLLEGES.

JUST A HARD-NOSED VETERAN TEAM.

THEY ARE TAKING THE CHAMPIONSHIP BACK.

FROM ALL OF US HERE ON GPB, SO GLAD YOU JOINED US ON DAY ONE.

WE ARE HERE TOMORROW AT 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON FOR FORMER GAMES.

BACK WITH MORE GPB AFTER THIS.
