LARRY SMITH WITH SHAUN GOLDEN.

JARVIS HAYES IS A SOPHOMORE.

HIS DAD IS JARVIS HAYES SENIOR PLAYING IN THE NBA.

HE HAD THE GAME-WINNER AGAINST MILTON.

GEORGIA, THE SAVIOR, SOUTH CAROLINA STATE, MOREHEAD STATE, GEORGIA STATE AND TULANE ARE SOME OF THE COLLEGES THAT HAVE TALKED TO HIM ALREADY AS JUST A SOPHOMORE.

Shaun: AND IT WILL GET BETTER AS HE CONTINUES TO MATURE.

HIM AND HIS BROTHER.

WHEN YOU COME FROM A FAMILY OF ATHLETES LIKE HIS FATHER, IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS BORN IN YOU.

IT IS PART OF THEIR DNA.

THEY WILL GET BETTER AND THEIR SKILL DEVELOPMENT WILL IMPROVE.

I THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WE WILL SEE DIFFERENT PLAYERS.

WITH THE OFFENSE AND THE DEFENSE ON THE COURT.

Larry: THEY TIE THE GAME AGAIN AT 15-15.

THE TEMPO IS DOWN.

BOTH TEAMS SETTLING IN.

HOW ABOUT THAT SHOT BY HAYES.

AND THE FOUL.

Shaun: GETTING TO THE RIM FOR A CHANCE FOR A THREE POINT PLAY.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE TEMPO WENT ONE WAY BUT AT SOME POINT IN TIME THE TEMPO HAS TO PICK UP.

AND ATTACK THE RIM WHILE UNDER CONTROL AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT IS THE TEAM THAT WILL START PUTTING THEMSELVES IN A BETTER POSITION.

Larry: THE FOUL IS ON MARTIN OF TRI-CITIES.

HIS SECOND FOUL OF THE GAME.

JONES.

WINGFIELD, HE IS ACTIVE.

AT SOME POINT IN TIME IT WILL BE ENCOURAGING TO TAKE THAT SHOT.

Larry: JARVIS HAYES IS STARTING TO HEAT UP NOW.

Shaun: HE IS REALLY GOOD AT THAT MID RANGE JUMPSHOT AND VERY EFFECTIVE.

Larry: GREAT JOB BY HAYES.

YOUNGER BROTHER PICKS IT UP.

JARVIS HAYES CAN'T QUITE PICK IT UP.

WINGFIELD CAN'T QUITE CONTROL THAT.

FOSTER, THREE ON THREE.

TOO HARD.

OUT TO JARVIS HAYES.

Shaun: THE TEMPO, THAT WAS A GREAT SAVE GETTING DOWN THE COURT FOR BOTH SQUADS.

GETTING INTO A BETTER RHYTHM TO MAKE IT A BETTER GAME AND MORE EFFECTIVE MOVEMENT BY BOTH TEAMS.

Larry: PLAYING NOW, DONOVAN JOHNSON.

A 6'2" JUNIOR.

HE STAYED WITH THE PLAY.

VERY IMPRESSED BY WINGFIELD.

6'8" AND 240 POUNDS.

MONSTER SLAM.

HE PLAYS AGGRESSIVELY ON THE OFFENSIVE END AND THAT OFFENSIVE END.

Larry: HE HAS EIGHT POINTS AND EIGHT REBOUNDS ALREADY.

HE IS ALREADY FOUR OF 12 SHOOTING BECAUSE HE WILL MISS THEN PUT IT RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN.

Shaun: GUARDS DEVELOP QUICKLY.

SOMEBODY OF HIS CALIBER AND SIZE IS DOMINANT BUT IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN THAT WAY.

BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE WORKING HIS FOOTWORK, HIS HAND EYE COORDINATION, HE WILL BE MUCH IMPROVED.

HE HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL.

THE WAY HE CAN SHOOT IT WOULD BE EASY TO SEE HIM PLAYING IN THE NBA.

Larry: ABSOLUTELY.

HE IS ONLY A JUNIOR AND THE BULLDOGS ARE UP BY ONE.

THREE BASKETS IN A ROW FOR TRI-CITIES.

JOHNSON.

THAT SHOT WON'T GO.

HAYES BACKUP.

OFF.

JONES, THE REBOUND.

TAKES IT HIMSELF.

Shaun: WHAT A LAYUP BY JONES!

SIX STARTS THIS SEASON AND THE REASON WHY IS HE CAN ATTACK IN TRANSITION AND HE IS A LEADER.

Larry: A THREE POINT LEAD FOR THE BULLDOGS.

A FOUL UNDERNEATH AS DEKE COOPER IS BACK IN THE GAME.

SHOOTING A PAIR OF FREE THROWS.

Shaun: HERE, THERE, HERE, THERE.

I LIKE THE TEMPO OF THE GAME.

Larry: THE FOUL IS ON JOHN MORRIS THEY ARE SAYING.

COOPER COMES OUT AND MYLES HAYES BACK IN.

HE HITS BOTH FREE THROWS.

JUST OVER 1:00 TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

THREE CHAMPIONSHIP TILTS TODAY.

IF YOU MISSED IT, YOU CAN HANG AROUND THE REST OF THE WEEKEND ON THE GREAT GPB.

Shaun: NICE STEAL.

Larry: HAYES UP AND IN WITH THE FINGER ROLL!

Shaun: THAT WAS VERY SMOOTH.

ATTACKED THE RIM FOR 2!

Larry: TRE KEITH LOST IT.

WINGFIELD GETS IT BACK.

WHAT A BLOCK BY HAYES.

AHEAD TO ZACH FOSTER.

LOST THE BALL AND CALLED FOR TRAVEL.

Shaun: THE WAY THAT JARVIS HAYES JUNIOR PLAYS, HE PLAYS BOTH ENDS OF THE COURT.

HE DOES NOT GIVE UP AND HE IS RELENTLESS.

Larry: OUTSTANDING AND HE DID NOT GET IT WITH THE BODY SO HE DID NOT GET CALLED FOR A FOUL.

Shaun: HE HAS BEEN AROUND BASKETBALL ALL HIS LIFE.

Larry: THE SHOT CLOCK AND THE GAME CLOCK ALMOST EVEN.

THE FINAL FEW SECONDS OF THE FIRST HALF.

--GETS IT BACK.

NICE JOB BY KHALID JONES.

Shaun: GREAT HANDS BY WINGFIELD.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

YOU ARE SIX FOOT EIGHT AND THE BALL IS BEING PASSED TO YOU IT'S AT YOUR ANKLES.

YOU THINK YOU SHOULD FINISH THAT BUT NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE YOU CATCH THE BALL SO LOW.

Larry: NICE STROKE AT THE LINE.

Shaun: YOU COULD TELL HE IS WELL COACHED AND WILL GET BETTER.

RAW TALENT WITH GREAT POTENTIAL.

Larry: ALMOST A DOUBLE DOUBLE IN THE FIRST HALF.

NINE POINTS AND NINE REBOUNDS FOR JUNIOR.

THAT PUTS TRI-CITIES BACKUP BY ONE.

WAR EAGLES POLLING FOR THE FINAL SHOT OF THE HALF.

I KNOW THE SCORE IS JUST A LITTLE OFF FOR YOU.

IT IS AN EXCITING GAME AND WE PLAYED THEM THREE TIMES THIS YEAR.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SECOND HALF.

Hannah: A LITTLE BIT OF BAD BLOOD.

WOODWARD WON THE REGIONAL TITLE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR GUYS NOW.

WE EXPECTED A BACK-AND-FORTH GAME.

ALL THREE HAVE BEEN VERY EVENLY PLAYED.

HOPEFULLY WE GET THE BREAKS BUT WE EXPECTED TO BE A VERY WELL PLAYED GAME.

Hannah: VERY EVENLY MATCHED TEAMS.

THE LAST TITLE FOR WOODWARD WAS IN 2020.

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO BRING THIS BACK?

THAT WAS OUR FIRST TITLE.

SO IT IS EXCITING FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT WORK INTO MAKING ALL OF OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS SPECIAL.

BUT TO WIN ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP WOULD BE A FANTASTIC WAY TO END THE WINTER SEASON.

Hannah: CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE NO STRANGER TO EITHER OF YOU.

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO WIN THIS TONIGHT?

IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO BE A THREE PEAT AS A FIRST-YEAR PRINCIPAL.

THIS IS REALLY EXCITING.

I HAVE NOT BEEN HERE BEFORE.

IT IS AMAZING TO JUST SEE THIS PLAY OUT.

SO, LET'S GO TRI-CITIES.

Hannah: WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH TRI-CITIES ACADEMICALLY?

REAR REGION CHAMPIONS FOR THE LITERARY COMPETITION AND FOR ONE ACT PLAY SO WE ARE DOING AND THINGS AND OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL SO WE ARE JUST A CITY OF CHAMPIONS AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BRINGING THIS ONE HOME.

Hannah: DOCTOR FERNANDEZ, WE KNOW WOODWARD IS SO GOOD ACADEMICALLY.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU ATHLETICALLY AND ACADEMICALLY?

WE ARE GOING TO BRAG ON OUR ACADEMICS.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS DO IN AND OUT AS FAR AS DEBATE.

ONE ACT PLAY AS WELL.

THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT OUR STUDENTS DO AND WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISH IS AMAZING.

SHOUT OUT TO FACULTY AND STAFF FOR ALL OF THE WORK THEY PUT IN.

Hannah: PUTTING ACADEMICS FIRST.

BACK TO BASKETBALL.

WHAT ADJUSTMENTS DO YOU SEE OUT OF YOUR TEAM.

IF YOU WENT TO THE LOCKER ROOM WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

I WOULD NOT GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM.

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE COACH THOMAS.

I STAY OUT OF THE WAY AND LET THE COACHES DO THEIR JOB.

Hannah: IF YOU COULD GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

AS A FORMER COACH, I WOULD SAY FINISH.

WE HAVE MISSED A LOT OF REBOUNDS AND SHOTS.

SO JUST FINISH.

Hannah: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR THOUGHTS.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SECOND HALF.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WATCHING, STICK AROUND AND WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT'S COMING UP.

THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER DAY OF THIS.

Hannah: WELCOME BACK TO THE HALFTIME SHOW.

WE ARE IN BEHALF OF THE 5A GAME BETWEEN TRI-CITIES AND WOODWARD ACADEMY.

WE HAVE HAD SO MANY FANS IN THE CROWD.

THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN AMAZING HERE IN MACON.

IF YOU ARE JUST NOW JOINING US THIS IS DAY NUMBER THREE.

LET'S TAKE YOU THROUGH WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR TODAY.

AT 1:00 IT WAS THE GIRLS SINGLE-A DIVISION MATCHUP WHERE WASHINGTON BOOKS FELL TO WASHINGTON.

THEY GOT THEIR FIRST EVER STATE TITLE.

THEN IT WAS THE BOYS SINGLE-A DIVISION MATCHUP WHERE SAVANNA BEATS McINTOSH COUNTY 58-28 IN A WILD COMEBACK FINISH.

THEN IT WAS THE GIRLS 3-POINT CONTEST.

LETS GET BACK OVER TO JON NELSON.

Jon: I HANDED THE PAPER OVER TO COACH FORTS WITH ALL OF THE STARTS.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE REBOUNDS.

I MENTIONED BEFORE THE GAME, WE WANT TO BEAT THEM ON THE GLASS BUT, WE HAVE TWO CATS.

Jon: RIGHT, YOU DO.

AND WE ARE GOING TO START THIS ONE RIGHT NOW.

Jon: -- Larry: THIS WAS A PRETTY EVENLY PLAYED HALF AND THIS IS REFLECTED THERE.

YOU ARE TRYING TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

CONTROL BASKETBALL IN THE FIRST HALF AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD BUT NOW WE HAVE WINGFIELD WHO IS BIG AT SIX FOOT EIGHT AND HE HAS BEEN A FORCE.

10 POINTS AND NINE REBOUNDS.

THEY WANT TO PLAY THE OFFENSE THERE HIM.

Larry: THEN LOOK AT THIS.

ZACH FOSTER.

Shaun: HE IS DOING A GOOD JOB, PLAYING CONTROL, GOING IN TRANSITION BUT, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE RUGGED AND ROUGH TRYING TO WHEN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

I HOPE THE COACHES ARE TELLING THEM LET'S TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL DEFENSIVELY.

DECIDES TO PULL IT BACK AND NICE JOB BY FOSTER GETTING BACK ON DEFENSE.

Shaun: NICE MOVE BY MARTIN, ATTACKING ON THE CONTROL.

Larry: ACTIVE HANDS BY JARVIS HAYES, THE SOPHOMORE.

MARTIN, YES!

Shaun: WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY.

MARTIN HAS DONE THAT BOTH PATHS.

GETTING INTO THE PAINT.

Larry: THEY SAY WAITES STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS.

THERE IS NO PAINTED SIDELINE.

IT IS JUST NATURAL WOOD.

Shaun: THEY ARE SWITCHING UP THE DEFENSE AGAIN, GOING BACK TO MAN.

Larry: NICE TURNOVER FOR WOODWARD JUST THEN.

VANDORN WITH THE JUMPER.

Shaun: HE IS GOOD INSIDE.

NICE JUMPSHOT FOR VANDORN.

Larry: BULLDOGS BACK ON TOP.

COOPER.

LOOK AT VANDORN AGAIN.

MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE.

Shaun: NICE --THROUGH.

SOFT TOUCH.

Larry: THAT WAS VANDORN.

HIS FIRST.

COOPER TO THE LINE SHOOTING FOR TWO.

Shaun: I LOVE THE TEMPO OF THE GAME IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

A LOT OF ACTION AND A LOT OF MOVEMENT.

A LOT OF COMPETITION.

--IS GOING TO COME BACK IN THE GAME FOR WOODWARD.

Larry: COOPER MISSED THE SECOND.

TIED AT 40 NOW.

VANDORN A LITTLE SHORT BUT A NICE TIP BY WINGFIELD.

Shaun: I TELL YOU, HE HAS GOT SOFT HANDS.

GREAT OFFENSIVE TIP BY WINGFIELD.

Larry: JUST LIKE THAT.

THE BULLDOGS ARE BACK ON TOP.

THREE BALL ON THE SIDE.

VANDORN RIPS IT DOWN!

INTO THE HANDS OF ANDREW JONES.

VANDORN.

NICE JOB BY MARTIN!

HAYES PICKED UP A FOUL.

Shaun: NICE BALL BY MARTIN.

CARBY MARTIN IS A 6'3" SENIOR AVERAGES JUST SIX POINTS PER GAME.

NOW, SUBSTITUTIONS.

NUMBER 11, TRI-CITIES BULLDOGS --DONOVAN JOHNSON.

JARVIS HAYES COMING OUT.

Shaun: I THINK HE WANTS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DEFENSIVE UNIT ON THE FLOOR.

Larry: PAYTON WAITES COMING OUT.

A LITTLE BIT OF A BREATHER BEFORE WE GET TO THE FOURTH QUARTER.

UNDER 1:00 TO GO.

Shaun: TRI-CITIES IS TRYING TO BOX IN ONE.

Larry: THE STEAL BY KEITH.

TRYING TO GET IT TO WINGFIELD BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO GO.

Larry: VERY GOOD FAST BREAK.

KEITH, WINGFIELD.

THAT IS CALLED ON DONOVAN JOHNSON.

VANDORN TO THE LINE.

Shaun: IT STARTED WITH THE DEFENSE, THE WAY THAT TRI-CITIES IS PLAYING.

THAT AGAINST ZACH FOSTER.

NOT GOING TO LET ANY TOUCHES THAT HAVE COURT.

IT COULD BECOME A FOUR ON FOUR BASKETBALL GAME.

Larry: THEY ARE BOTH OFF.

MAKE THAT ONE OF TWO.

Shaun: [ INDISCERNABLE ] Larry: COOPER FOR THREE!

KEITH HAS IT!

SIX SECONDS!

TRYING TO GET IT TO ANDREW JONES AND OUT OF BOUNDS WITH.6 SECONDS LEFT ON THE TURNOVER.

A LITTLE TOO AGGRESSIVE.

Shaun: I LOVE WHAT COACH FORTS HAS DONE.

HE HAS CHANGED THE DEFENSE TO HIS STRENGTH.

LET'S TAKE AWAY THE TOP PLAYER IN FOSTER AND GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

Larry: HOW ABOUT TRI-CITIES DOWN BY FIVE.

THEIR BIGGEST DEFICIT AND THEY FINISH THE QUARTER ON A 10-1 RUN, UP BY FOUR GOING INTO THE FOURTH.

Larry: 44-40 RIGHT NOW.

THE FINAL GAME TONIGHT AND ONE MORE DAY OF CHAMPIONSHIPS TOMORROW.

IT IS A BUSY DAY FULL OF COMPETITION STARTING AT 11:00 A.M. WITH THE CLASS 1A GIRLS.

GOING ALL THE WAY UNTIL 6:00 AT NIGHT FOR THE 6A BOYS.

LARRY SMITH AND SHAUN GOLDEN HERE ON THE CALL.

THIS WILL BE THE 12th SO FAR THIS WEEK AND IT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING TO SEE ALL OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE GOING FOR THE GOLD.

Shaun: FOSTER.

MAKING IT FOUR ON FOUR BASKETBALL.

JARVIS HAYES IS HIS BROTHER AND HE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE.

HE IS SHOWING HOW GOOD HE IS GOING TO BE.

Larry: HE IS IN DOUBLE FIGURES NOW.

MYLES HAYES.

WITH THE PULLDOWN.

ONE-HANDED SHOT.

JARVIS HAYES WITH 12 POINTS.

Shaun: NICE SHOT!

Larry: ZACH FOSTER WITH THE REBOUND.

HE HAS GOT THE NUMBERS.

CALLED BLOCKING FOUL ON MARTIN THAT HE WILL GET A TECHNICAL FOUL.

HE DID NOT LIKE THE CALL.

ONE MORE LOOK AT IT HERE.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS A CHARGE.

Shaun: IT WAS A GOOD CALL BY THE OFFICIAL.

Larry: --KIND OF THROWS THE BALL AFTER THAT.

Shaun: I SAW, EVEN THOUGH THE VIDEO DID NOT CUT IT OFF, WHAT HAPPENED IS, FOSTER KIND OF THREW THE BALL BACK INTO HIS LAP AND HE RESPONDED.

A LOT OF TIMES THE OFFICIALS DON'T CATCH THE FIRST ACTION BUT THEY CATCH THE SECOND.

Larry: THAT IS RIGHT.

FOSTER WITH THE FREE THROW.

SUBS COMING IN.

WOODWARD.

JACKSON COMES OUT.

ONE MORE.

Shaun: GREAT TOUCH.

GREAT TOUCH.

VERY COMPETITIVE YOUNG MAN.

Larry: NEW GAME NOW.

WOODWARD COMING OUT WITH FIVE QUICK POINTS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

UP BY ONE.

COOPER.

JOHNSON.

--PULLS DOWN THE REBOUND WITH AUTHORITY.

WHITE SHIRTS ALL AROUND.

A FOUL ON THE MORE EAGLES.

THAT WAS ON PAYTON WAITES.

WOODWARD AGAIN, THEIR FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 2020 AND WE HAVE A TIMEOUT ON THE COURT.

WE WILL KEEP IT HERE AND GET YOU CAUGHT UP ON THE SCORES.

LEADING SCORER FOR TRI-CITIES IS WINGFIELD.

HE ALMOST HAD A DOUBLE DOUBLE IN THE FIRST HALF.

TRE KEITH AT 10 POINTS AND JARVIS HAYES AT 12.

ZACH FOSTER, 11.

DEKE COOPER, 14.

Shaun: IT IS ABOUT TIME.

6:25 SECONDS LEFT.

WHO WANTS TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP?

YOU HAVE TO BE AGGRESSIVE.

WE ARE PLAYING EAST-WEST BASKETBALL.

THEY ARE PLAYING TO NOT MAKE A MISTAKE AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, THAT IS WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE.

DON'T TRY TO BE A HERO.

TAKE THE OPEN SHOT WHEN PRESENTED TO YOU.

GET THE 50-50 BALL.

VERY SIMPLE.

WINGFIELD WITH A BIG-TIME FOLLOW.

NICE HANDS!

GRABBED IT WITH TWO AND FINISHED IT!

NICE STRONG MOVE!

Larry: WINGFIELD IS AN OUTSTANDING PLAYER.

Larry: COOPER GOING UP FOR THE SHOT AND CALLED FOR THE FOUL.

AND WE HAVE ANOTHER TIMEOUT ON THE COURT.

ONE MORE LOOK AT THIS YOUNG MAN.

WINGFIELD, A SIX FOOT EIGHT JUNIOR.

PUSH IT DOWN, YOUNG FELLOW!

TRI-CITIES BACK ON TOP.

Larry: HERE IS A FAN THAT IS PRETTY EXCITED.

WINGFIELD 18 POINTS AND 14 REBOUNDS.

SHOW HIM SOME LOVE!

WHAT DOES THE SHIRT SAY?

WHAT DOES THE SHIRT SAY?

PUT ON FOR MY CITY.

THE FOUL WAS ON ANDREW JONES FROM TRI-CITIES.

HE IS HAVING A VERY NICE NIGHT.

Shaun: YES HE IS.

THE MOST EXPERIENCED PLAYER ON WOODWARD ACADEMY.

Larry: ANOTHER TYPE.

WHAT A GAME THIS HAS BEEN.

THIS FRIDAY OF COMPETITION.

Shaun: IT IS TIME FOR THE PLAYERS TO MAKE PLAYS.

Larry: JONES THROWS IT AWAY.

Shaun: EXTENDED AGAIN BY FOSTER.

Larry: FOSTER HAD 13 POINTS IN THE GAME AND 13 REBOUNDS.

Shaun: HE --DOUBLE-TEAM THEM AT ALL COST.

Larry: COOPER.

NICE JOB ON THE BLOCK BY WINGFIELD.

VANDORN.

HE GETS UP TO GO!

Shaun: HE IS SO GOOD IN TRANSITION.

Larry: THE BULLDOGS BACK ON TOP.

FOSTER FOR THREE.

NO!.

THE REBOUND AND A FOUL.

COOPER COMING IN OVER THE TOP.

Shaun: THERE ARE TIMES HERE WHERE LIKE VENDOR AND COMING IN, HE IS VERY GOOD IN TRANSITION AND I LOVE THE WAY HE PLAYS BUT ZACH FOSTER FORCED THAT SHOT.

IF HE GIVES THE BALL HE IS GOING TO TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT SHOT.

Larry: TRI-CITIES BACKUP BY A DEUCE.

WINGFIELD.

SHOT CLOCK AT 10 SECONDS.

TRE KEITH.

HIT BY FOSTER.

HE HAS COOPER OUT IN FRONT.

JONES THINKS IT WAS OFF OF COOPER BUT THE REFEREE DID NOT SEE IT THAT WAY.

IT WILL STAY HERE, WOODWARD ACADEMY BALL.

Shaun: RIGHT THERE, IF YOU ARE ZACH FOSTER, YOU ATTACK THE SCORE.

HE WAS INSIDE THE POINT --PAINT AND THAT IS A NO-NO FOR POINT GUARDS.

Larry: COACH THOMAS DOES NOT LIKE WHAT HE SEES.

A TIMEOUT CALLED BY WOODWARD ACADEMY.

A LITTLE BIT SLOPPY.

HE HAS A TIMEOUT TO BURN SO WHY NOT.

Shaun: 4:24 TO GO FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP.

BOTH OF THESE TEAMS, JUST A FEW MYLES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER BUT AT SOME POINT IN TIME, THEY NEED TO START MAKING PLAYS.

THE COACHES ARE DOING A GREAT JOB CONTROLLING THE TEMPO BUT, AT SOME POINT IN TIME, PLAYERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STEP UP AND MAKE ONE, TWO, THREE PLAYS.

Larry: HE SAID AT THE VERY TOP, IT IS LITERALLY 2.1 MYLES BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS.

YOU, CROSSOVER THE CITY BOUNDARY BETWEEN COLLEGE PARK AND --TO GET FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.

Larry: ANTHONY THOMAS, THE LAWYER AND THE COACH.

THESE TEAMS BOTH PLAYED EVENLY BACK-AND-FORTH THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

EVEN STATS.

EACH WITHIN ONE OR TWO OF THE OTHER AND CLEARLY EVERY CATEGORY TONIGHT.

Shaun: I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE FIGHT.

A LITTLE BIT MORE DRIVE, DETERMINATION.

THEY ARE PLAYING GOOD BASKETBALL BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO STEP IT UP A NOTCH.

Larry: ZACH FOSTER.

HAYES WITH THE HANGING JUMPER.

WINGFIELD.

WINGFIELD IS THE MAN WHEN IT COMES TO REBOUNDING THE BASKETBALL.

THE REGION.

TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM TRE KEITH.

THAT IS HIS THIRD FOUL.

THE THIRD TEAM FOUL IN THE QUARTER.

WATCHING THE CHESS MATCH.

Shaun: HIGH LOW, OUT OF BOUNDS.

Larry: TRYING TO GET IT TO WINGFIELD.

KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS.

Shaun: THAT WAS A GREAT OFFENSIVE PLAY BY TRI-CITIES.

THE PASS WAS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BUT INCOMPLETE.

Larry: VANDORN WORKING ON JARVIS HAYES.

HOLDS HIS GROUND AND GETS IT BACK.

THEY ARE GOING TO CALL A HOOK.

OFFENSIVE FOUL.

Shaun: THAT WAS GOOD BASKETBALL, I THOUGHT.

VANDORN, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE ELBOWS LOOK.

HE GOT HIM WITH THE ELBOW IN HIS FACE.

GOOD CALL BY THE OFFICIAL.

Larry: TIMEOUT ON THE FLOOR.

3:53 TO GO.

THIS IS A FULL-TIME OUT.

WE WILL STAY RIGHT HERE.

Shaun: BOTH COACHES ARE HAVING A THOUGHT.

WHAT DO WE DO?

IT IS SIMPLE STUFF.

STAY IN THE BOX.

ZACH FOSTER, MAKE IT A FULL GAME.

THEN THINK ABOUT TRI-CITIES.

OFFENSIVELY THEY ARE GOING TO GO TO VANDORN AND WINGFIELD OFF THE OFFENSIVE GLASS.

SO THAT MEANS WOODWARD ACADEMY, TRAVIS HAYES, MYLES HAYES, PAYTON WAITES, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START MAKING OFFENSIVE PLAYS DOWN THE STRETCH.

Larry: THAT WAS THE SECOND FOUL ON VANDORN.

FOUL TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT.

FOSTER AND COOPER EACH HAVE THREE FOULS FOR WOODWARD ACADEMY.

MARTIN HAS FOUR FOULS FOR TRI-CITIES.

A TECHNICAL AS WELL.

ANDREW JONES WITH THREE FOULS.

THE WOODWARD OFFENSE SET OFF FOR YOU.

COOPER, FOSTER.

MYLES HAYES AND HIS BIG BROTHER IS JARVIS HAYES.

Larry: FACE GUARD ON FOSTER.

THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO EITHER TIE OR RETAKE THE LEAD.

OUT TO JARVIS HAYES FOR THREE.

Shaun: OH MAN!

THAT WAS A BIG REBOUND BY WINGFIELD.

Larry: WHAT A NIGHT HE HAS HAD.

THE JUNIOR, SIX FOOT EIGHT.

THE BULLDOGS TRY TO BUILD A LEAD.

VANDORN GETS THAT UP AND THAT IS ANDREW JONES REBOUNDS.

UP AND IN.

Shaun: TRI-CITIES OFF THE GLASS.

NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE PUT BACK OPPORTUNITIES.

Larry: KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS.

Shaun: WHAT COACH FORTS EXPECTS IS ALL OF THE PLAYERS NEED TO MAKE PLAYS WITH THE BOX IN ONE.

Larry: 3:00 TO GO.

CLASS 5A CHAMPIONSHIP.

COOPER, THE 6'5" SENIOR WITH THE BALL.

GETS IT TO WAITES.

WINGFIELD AGAIN!

HAYES GOT HIT WITH AN ELBOW.

TRE KEITH UP AND IN AND IT IS A FOUL!

BIG-TIME PLAY FOR KEITH!

Shaun: THE FOCUS IS ON THE FINISH BUT IT SHOULD BE ON THE DEFENSIVE REBOUND.

Larry: TWO BULLDOGS ON THE GROUND.

KEITH GETS UP BUT WINGFIELD IS STILL DOWN.

IT IS GETTING HOT IN HERE!

TRE KEITH WITH THE FREE THROW.

Larry: WE HAVE SEEN TRI-CITIES BOUNCE BACK TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

THEY TOOK A FOUR-POINT LEAD INTO THE FOURTH AND FINAL PERIOD.

RIGHT NOW A 6-0 RUN AND TRYING TO MAKE IT SEVEN AFTER THAT GREAT PLAY BY TRE KEITH.

Shaun: IT STARTED WITH THE DEFENSIVE REBOUND BY THE BIG FELLOW.

GETTING IT UP HIGH AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN POSSESSION OF THE BALL WITHOUT GETTING CALLED FOR A FOUL.

THEN, IN TRANSITION, KEITH JUST BEING AGGRESSIVE AS THE GUARD THAT HE IS.

18 POINTS PER GAME.

HE HAD 31 POINTS THE FIRST TWO TIMES THESE TEAMS MET.

Larry: [ INDISCERNABLE ] Shaun: IF I AM VANDORN, INSTEAD OF RUNNING DOWN THE COURT TRYING TO GET THE BALL, HE HAS GOT TO SET MORE SCREENS.

Larry: 7-0 LEAD.

JUMPSHOT BY COOPER IS OFF AND THE REBOUND TO ON THE GROUND.

THEY CALL IT A JUMP BALL.

THE POSSESSION ARROW GOES TO TRI-CITIES.

Shaun: I COULD SEE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE BALL AND MAKE PLAYS.

BUT, THERE ARE TIMES TO BE SMARTER AS A PLAYER.

GET YOUR TEAMMATES OPEN AND YOU CAN BE OPEN AS WELL.

Larry: THE SCORING DRIVE IS MORE THAN 3 1/2 MINUTES.

YOU NEED TO FIND SOME OFFENSE AFTER THAT.

ANDREW JONES SLIPS.

IT'S A TO VANDORN.

ALLIE YOU.

Shaun: YOU HAVE GOT TO THROW IT UP!

DOWNTOWN!

Larry: NINE POINT LEAD NOW FOR TRI-CITIES.

ZACH FOSTER.

MYLES HAYES TO HIS BROTHER JARVIS HAYES.

OUT OF BOUNDS.

OFF OF WOODWARD.

Shaun: THE GOOD THING ABOUT DEFENSE AND ENERGY, GREAT PLAYS LIKE THAT.

GOOD HANDS AND CHUCKING THE BALL WITH AUTHORITY.

HERE'S THE THING ABOUT A LOOSE BALL.

THEY ALWAYS GO TO THE TEAM THAT IS FIRST ON THE FLOOR.

THE 50-50, THAT IS HOW YOU WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Larry: 30 SECOND TIMEOUT.

THE LARGEST ADVANTAGE IN THE GAME FOR EITHER TEAM NOW.

Shaun: IT IS A THREE POSSESSION GAME.

SOLID DEFENSE.

ONE POSSESSION AT A TIME AND IT STARTS WITH THE DEFENSE.

YOU GET A DEFENSIVE STOP.

COME DOWN AND BE MORE EFFECTIVE AND MORE PRECISE IN YOUR ATTACK.

ZACH FOSTER SET MORE SCREENS.

THEN YOU WILL GET MORE OPEN YOURSELF.

FULL-COURT PRESS.

Larry: TIME WINDING DOWN.

GREAT DEFENSE BY JARVIS HAYES!

THE REJECTION ON THE DUNK BY VANDORN.

Shaun: SOMETHING ABOUT JARVIS HAYES JUNIOR IS HE IS NOT AFRAID TO COMPETE.

HE ATTACKED VANDORN AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A CLEAN SHOT AT SENATE --BUT THEN HE GOES UP AGAINST --WITH THE REBOUND.

Larry: JACKSON BACK IN THE GAME FOR WOODWARD.

MYLES HAYES COMES OUT.

10 POINT LEAD NOW.

THIS GAME IS TIED AT 46.

IT HAS BEEN ALL BULLDOGS.

Shaun: FOSTER, HIS FIRST TIME TOUCHING THE BALL.

Larry: HE GETS IT IN.

Shaun: THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT AS A THREE POINT SHOOTER.

FOSTER WITH THE FOUL.

THAT IS A GOOD QUICK FOLLOW.

EIGHT POINT GAME.

QUICK FOUL.

THEY DID NOT USE A TIMEOUT.

SO, THAT BASKET AND SAY 4:24 SECOND DROUGHT FOR THE WAR EAGLES.

MARTIN AT THE LINE SHOOTING FOR TWO.

Shaun: MARTIN IS A SOLID SENIOR GUARD.

HE IS A NATURAL BORN LEADER AND HE IS TOUGH.

IS HANDLING THE PRESSURE, DEFENDING.

HE HAS HAD A GREAT NIGHT.

Larry: BACK TO 10. COOPER TO HAYES.

OUT OF BOUNDS.

JONES AND VANDORN BOTH GOING FOR IT AND KNOCKING IT OUT OF BOUNDS.

Shaun: I AM WATCHING COOPER HERE OFF THE GLASS.

Larry: COOPER WITH THE SOFT TOUCH.

AND A TIMEOUT FOR WOODWARD ACADEMY.

Shaun: IF YOU WALK WATCH BOTH TEAMS, WOODWARD IS WALKING BACK TO THE BENCH AND TRI-CITIES IS RUNNING.

YOU LOOK AT WHICH TEAM IS MORE DEFEATED AND WHICH TEAM IS FILLED WITH LOVE.

TRI-CITIES HAS THE MOJO RIGHT NOW.

A LITTLE BIT OF PEP IN THEIR STOPPED.

Larry: WOODWARD SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TRYING TO BE THERE RIVAL.

COOPER WITH 17 POINTS AND 17 REBOUNDS TO LEAD THE WAY IN THE GAME.

WINGFIELD, 20 AND 18.

A MONSTER GAME FOR THE JUNIOR FOR THE BULLDOGS.

Shaun: HIS RECRUITMENT IS GOING TO GO SKY HIGH AFTER THIS GAME.

BUT YOU CAN TELL THE WAY HE HAS PLAYED.

GREAT FOOTWORK AND HE HAS GREAT HAND EYE COORDINATION.

HE IS GOING TO BE SPECIAL.

I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING HIM DEVELOP AS A PLAYER.

Larry: TRI-CITIES ARE 12 OF 15 FROM THE FREE-THROW LINE SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT STRATEGY, IT IS NOT LIKE THEY ARE STRUGGLING SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FOUL THEM TO TRY TO GET BACK INTO THIS GAME.

Shaun: THIS IS WHERE THE LEADERSHIP COMES OUT.

YOU HAVE TO SHOW THOSE GUYS YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE.

YOU STILL HAVE TO FIGHT.

Larry: INBOUND DELAY JONES.

GETS UNDERWAY TO MARTIN WHO IS FOULED BY JACKSON.

MARTIN IN LINE FOR TWO MORE.

CLASS 5A CHAMPIONSHIP.

TWO RIVALS.

FOURTH MEETING THIS YEAR.

THAT ONE WAS OFF OF MARTIN.

EACH ONE IN THEIR OWN HOME COURT.

TRI-CITIES TRYING TO GET SOME REVENGE TONIGHT.

IT IS NOW A NINE POINT GAME.

COOPER FOR THREE.

OFF THE MARK.

THE REBOUND AND FOSTER CAN'T GET IT.

TIED UP UNDERNEATH WITH JONES AND JACKSON.

THEY WILL STAY ON THIS SIDE, WOODWARD BALL.

Shaun: GOOD REBOUND BY JONES.

SECURING THE REBOUND EVEN THOUGH IT IS A JUMP BALL SITUATION.

Larry: HAYES FOR THREE AND HE GETS IT!

JARVIS HAYES.

HE PULLS THE WAR EAGLES WITHIN SIX POINTS.

THEY ARE NOT DONE YET.

Shaun: HAYES IS A PLAYER.

THIS YOUNG MAN IS A PLAYER.

HE CAN CATCH, SHOOT, SOFT TOUCH.

HE HAS REALLY STEPPED UP BIG FOR THE WAR EAGLES.

Larry: HE HAS A SHOOTER MENTALITY UNDERSCORES MENTALITY.

TWO OF SEVEN FROM THE ARK.

Shaun: HE IS RELENTLESS.

OFFENSIVE LEE HIS IN ATTACK MODE.

WITH OR WITHOUT THE BALL.

Larry: 15 POINTS AND SEVEN REBOUNDS FOR HIM.

SEVERAL SCHOOLS CHASING HIM.

HE IS ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

Shaun: LOOK AT THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL BY BOTH TEAMS.

UNDERSTANDING THE TASK AT HAND.

Larry: WOODWARD, FIVE OF 21 SHOOTING.

TRI-CITIES IS THREE OF 12.

SO NEITHER ARE BURNING UP THE NET FROM OUTSIDE.

TRI-CITIES GETTING IT INTO THE HANDS OF THEIR BEST FREE-THROW SHOOTER.

Shaun: THIS IS AN INTERESTING SET UP.

FIVE ACROSS.

Larry: TREE KEITH FOULED BY PAYTON WAITES.

BUT THAT SET UP MADE SOME CONTROVERSY OR CONFUSION I SHOULD SAY.

THE COACHES AND THE REFEREES.

Shaun: HE HAS GOT TO HIT THESE TWO.

TO MAKE IT A THREE POSSESSION GAME.

Larry: KEITH MISSES THE FIRST.

13 POINTS TONIGHT.

FOR THE 6'2" SOPHOMORE.

THAT BOUNCES IN.

THE LEAD IS NOW SEVEN.

A TIMEOUT CALLED BY COACH FORTS FOR TRI-CITIES.

THIS IS WHAT WE EXPECTED WHEN WE SAT DOWN TONIGHT TO PRESENT THIS GAME TO YOU HERE AT THE GREAT GPB.

Shaun: IT HAS BEEN A GREAT GAME.

61-54, TRI-CITIES.

BUT NOW, I WANTED TO SEE WHO IS GOING TO PRESENT THE LEAD.

WILLOUGHBY COOPER?

VANDORN?

WINGFIELD?

LEADERSHIP.

SOMEONE, SOME PLAYER IS GOING TO STAND UP AND MAKE THE OFFENSIVE PLAY AND THE DEFENSIVE PLAY.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THE PLAY BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

Larry: AND DO IT QUICKLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE 46.3 SECONDS LEFT AND YOU NEED THREE SCORES.

Shaun: I GO BACK TO THIS.

WE ARE DOWN BY --.

I GET IS STILL IN TRANSITION.

--COMES UP AND HITS THREE POINTS.

IT CAN HAPPEN.

THE LEADERSHIP IS THERE.

IT CAN HAPPEN.

THERE IS A SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

Larry: ONE TIMEOUT LEFT FOR EACH TEAM.

TRI-CITIES UP BY SEVEN.

AFTER TRE KEITH HIT ONE OF TWO FREE THROWS.

JACKSON INBOUND.

Shaun: USEFUL TIME ON THE CLOCK.

Larry: THE COACH URGING THEM TO GET GOING.

AND WAITES LOSES THE TURNOVER.

A SMART COACHING MOVE BY FORTS.

THAT IS NOT TO SPEED UP THE TEMPO BUT CONTROL A.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, PASSES.

YOU ARE FORCING EVERYONE ELSE TO HANDLE IT IN THE GAME SITUATION AND FORCE THE TURNOVER.

HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH A SHOT OUT OF BOUNDS.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING SET UP.

I LOVE IT.

IT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

Larry: VANDORN FOULED QUICKLY.

FREE THROWS FOR THE BULLDOGS.

VANDORN HAS HAD A GOOD NIGHT.

6'6" SENIOR.

13 POINTS, FIVE REBOUNDS.

THREE OF FOUR FROM THE LINE.

BEFORE THESE TWO.

EIGHT POINT GAME WITH 28 SECONDS TO GO.

Shaun: TRAP FOSTER WHENEVER HE GETS THE BALL.

FORCE SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE A PLAY.

Larry: HE MAKES THEM BOTH.

IT IS A NINE POINT GAME.

FOUL CALLED ON TRE KEITH, REACH AROUND ON FOSTER.

--WILL GO TO THE LINE.

AVERAGING 17 POINTS AND SIX REBOUNDS PER GAME.

13 POINTS FOR HIM TONIGHT.

THE FREE-THROW WAS GOOD.

Shaun: THE 1-2-2 IS VERY EFFECTIVE BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GAMBLE IN THAT SITUATION.

CONTAIN AT.

TRAP FOSTER.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU ARE TRI-CITIES.

Larry: NO GOOD.

REACHING IN ON VANDORN.

THE FILE IS CALLED ON WAITES.

GOING DOWN TO THE OTHER END TO SHOOT.

MYLES HAYES, THE FRESHMAN CHECKED BACK IN FOR THE WAR EAGLES.

VANDORN SHOOTING TWO.

Shaun: NICE SHOT BY VANDORN.

NINE SECONDS TO GO.

Larry: HAYES CHECKING IN.

PAYTON WAITES CHECKING OUT.

VANDORN LOOKING TO ADD TO HIS TOTALS.

AND, HE DOES!

JACKSON FOR THREE.

THAT WAS PARTIALLY BLOCKED BY VANDORN.

Larry: NOT THE FILE YOU WANT IN TRANSITION.

Shaun: THAT IS A FRUSTRATING FOUL.

Larry: TWO SHOTS.

FOSTER.

Larry: FIVE FOULS ON FOSTER.

WHAT A NIGHT FOR HIM.

WHAT A SEASON FOR WOODWARD ACADEMY.

Shaun: YOU CAN HEAR THE DOGS BEHIND US.

PUT ON FOR MY CITY!

Larry: WAITES CHECKS BACK IN FOR FOSTER.

FOR THE FINAL 8.3.

TWO FREE THROWS FOR VANDORN.

Shaun: LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS FOR TRI-CITIES.

THE INTERESTING THING IS, YOU ARE DOWN, 2-1.

WE ARE TALKING THE HUNTER AND THE HUNTED.

TONIGHT, TRI-CITIES, THEY WERE THE HUNTER.

THEY WANTED REVENGE.

THEY HATED LOSING THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Larry: WILBERG IN THE GAME, COTTLE.

JOHNSON.

Shaun: FANTASTIC GAME FOR VANDORN.

Larry: BROWN IN THE GAME.

FROM THE BENCH IN THE FINAL EIGHT SECONDS.

ONE OF TWO FREE THROWS FOR VANDORN.

WAITES FOR THREE.

OFF, OUT OF BOUNDS.

Shaun: REALLY GOOD GAME TONIGHT.

BOTH TEAMS CAME OUT AND THE COACHES HAD A GREAT GAME PLAN BUT IN THE END, TRI-CITY BULLDOGS!

Larry: STATE CHAMPS ONCE AGAIN!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Larry: GREAT SEASON FOR WOODWARD ACADEMY.

THEY FINISHED 27-5 WITH A SECOND PLACE FINISH HERE IN CLASS 5A.

IT IS THEIR RIVALS THAT THEY BEAT FOR THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BUT THEY COME BACK AND WIN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Shaun: TALKING WITH COACH FORTS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE TALKED ABOUT WAS THE 6:00 A.M. PRACTICES.

THEY BUILD CHARACTER FOR THE YOUNG MEN AND IT HOLDS THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO BE IN THE PROGRAM.

HE TOLD THE TEAM, IF YOU FOLLOW ME, WE WILL WIN AND THAT IS WHAT THESE BULLDOGS HAVE DONE FOR THE 2025 SEASON.

Larry: WHAT AN EFFORT.

THEY HELD ONTO THAT DOWN TO THE END.

56-55.

LET'S GO TO CENTER COURT NOW WITH JON NELSON.

Jon: TIME TO PRESENT THE LAST TROPHY FOR DAY NUMBER THREE BUT NOT THE LEAST.

SOMEONE IS GETTING THE TROPHY AND WE HAVE TIM SCOTT HEAR FROM BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT TO PRESENT AT.

Jon: RUN ME THROUGH THE FOURTH QUARTER AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE TRADING BLOWS?
