THIS FRESHMAN, LATIMER, JUST WOULD NOT BE DENIED.

THIS BOOK YOU TALK ABOUT THE DETERMINED RUNNING.

IT'S A FRESHMAN.

IT'S THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

AND AGAIN, JUST OVER FIVE MINUTES.

22 YEARS HE'S BEEN IN THE SCHOOLS.

>> HE'S DONE A LOT DURING THAT TIME.

A LOT OF WINNING.

A LOT OF WINNING HAS GONE ON DOWN THERE.

>> THAT IS ONE OF THE GREAT TRADITIONS, NOT JUST TO SHARE THE PAST TWO YEARS, BUT CALVIN JOHNSON, MEGATRON.

>> SO MANY GREAT PLAYERS COMING THROUGH, GOING ONTO THE COLLEGE LEVEL, FROM THE NFL.

>> BOUNCING IT UP THE MIDDLE, TRYING TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM THEIR RECEIVER.

HE HAD TO SIT ON THE SIDELINE AND WATCH CEDAR GROVE WHEN THE TITLE ANYWAY.

>> THAT IS A HOLD.

>> FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 10 YARD LINE.

COLSTON GOING TO GO UP TOP.

HE OVERTHROWS HIS MAN.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINEUP PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

NEIL SCOTT, HALL, AND THORTON.

AND BEHIND THEM, CARTER, JONES, RICKY LEE, AND WE MENTIONED GARY JACKSON.

BY SMITH TO GET FREE.

THEY ARE GOING TO MARK HIM DOWN THERE ABOUT THE 17 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS BARRY JACKSON.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEFENSIVE STARTING LINEUP.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGIONS BANK.

HAYGOOD.

CAMERON WATTS IS BACK THERE.

SOME GOOD ATHLETES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

THIRD DOWN.

COLSTON TAKES THE HANDOFF.

GOOD EFFORT LED BY THAT MAN THERE.

JORDAN.

>> HE STAYED HOME.

IT WAS RIGHT THERE FOR HIM.

GOOD DEFENSIVE STOP.

>> THE DEFENSE IS HOLDING STRONG HERE TO FORCE A THREE AND OUT ON CEDAR GROVE.

IT WAS THEIR FIRST POSSESSION, AND THEY WILL GET THE BALL BACK.

THERE IS: JORDAN THEY HAVE A FOURTH DOWN.

VERY SHORT PUNT.

IT GOES TO THE 41 OF CEDAR GROVE.

SANDY CREEK WITH EXCELLENT FIELD POSITION TO START THIS DRIVE.

>> NEXT TIME YOU GOT THERE, YOU ARE GIVING THE PATRIOTS THE FOOTBALL RIGHT BACK IN GREAT POSITION.

>> REFEREE: FIRST DOWN.

>> THAT IS THE FIRST TOUCH.

THEIR PLAYERS WENT DOWNFIELD.

>> YEAH.

YEAH.

>> AS A RESULT, THE BALL WENT DOWN TO THE 38 INSTEAD OF THE 41.

THAT IS WHERE THE PATRIOTS WILL START HERE.

FIRST AND 10.

HE CAN GO PAST THE 20.

DOWN INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE AT FIRST DOWN AND GOAL FOR THE PATRIOTS.

LATIMER.

34 YARDS.

MY GOODNESS.

NOW, THEY ARE IN SCORING POSITION ONCE AGAIN.

>> IT IS SANDY CREEK IN THE RED ZONE.

>> KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THE QUARTERBACK IS COMING OUT.

>> YOU HAVE FRANKLIN COMING IN.

LATIMER, THE FRESHMAN, WAS IN.

AND NOW, IT IS THE WILDCAT FORMATION.

FIRST AND GOAL FROM THE 5.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A 14 POINT LEAD.

GREAT DEFENSIVE EFFORT.

>> HE WAS NOT FOOLED AT ALL.

THEY FOUGHT THROUGH THOSE BLOCKERS.

QUINN TERRIO LAWSON.

GREAT DEFENSIVE EFFORT.

>> OUTSTANDING EFFORT BY THE SAINTS.

>> FRANKLIN IS COMING BACK TO THE SIDELINE.

WE WILL SEE.

TALK ABOUT THE COACHES.

NOTHING HAPPENING.

THE PLAY CLOCK IS DOWN TO FOUR.

COACH GARVIN CALLING A TIME-OUT THERE.

>> REFEREE: TIME-OUT.

THAT IS THEIR FIRST TIME-OUT.

>> LET'S GO DOWN TO RICH HARRIS.

>> WE KNOW THAT HEAD COACH GARVIN HAS BEEN WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

WHEN HE CAME UP TO THE OFFICE AFTER GETTING THE POSITION, HE SAT IN THE CHAIR AND HIS FIRST THOUGHT WAS, DON'T MESS THIS UP.

I CANNOT MESS THIS UP.

HAVE TO GET THIS RIGHT.

WITHOUT THAT WAS HILARIOUS.

HE WAS TELLING US ABOUT HIS JOURNEY COMING ALONG.

HE SAID IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR.

I TALKED TO HIS SON, WHO IS HERE ON THE SEVEN.

THEY SAID IT IS A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR HIM.

HE JUST FINISHED UP HIS LAST SEASON AT CHARLESTON SOUTHERN.

THEY ARE ALUMNI OF SANDY CREEK.

HE SAID THEY BOTH SAID IT'S AN HONOR TO SEE THEIR DAD MAKE IT TO THIS POINT.

FROM THAT FIRST THOUGHT OF DON'T MESS UP, I THINK HE HAS DONE A GOOD JOB.

>> THAT IS OUTSTANDING.

HE MENTIONED THAT HE COACHED AS A COORDINATOR AT SANDY CREEK.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE WALKER FAMILY HAD BEFORE HIM.

>> IT'S A GREAT TRADITION.

HE HAS BEEN A PART OF THAT.

YOU MENTIONED FAMILY.

HE'S BEEN A PART OF THAT, AS WELL.

LATIMER IS BACK IN AT QUARTERBACK.

HE GETS IN THE END ZONE, AND IT IS INCOMPLETE.

OH MY GOODNESS.

>> IT IS THERE BY ROLAND, AGAIN.

>> YOU HAVE TO WONDER.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT ME AND THIS FOOTBALL IN THE END ZONE?

THIS ONE, OH MY GOODNESS.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON IT.

>> AND ROLAND.

THAT IS AS GOOD OF DEFENSE AS HE CAN PLAY ON THAT.

NOW, IT IS THIRD AND GOAL.

>> THEY WILL KEEP JAMARI LATIMER IN THE GAME AT QUARTERBACK.

THE PLAY CLOCK IS DOWN TO 4:00.

THEY WILL BURN ANOTHER TIME-OUT.

>> WE HAVE A TIME-OUT.

SANDY CREEK.

THAT'S THEIR SECOND TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

>> THERE IS SOME CONFUSION.

IT HAS BEEN A GREAT FIRST QUARTER FOR THE PATRIOTS.

>> ANOTHER ONE OF THE KEYS WAS TAKE WHAT IS GIVEN.

IT WAS A STRAIGHT SNAP.

THEY HAD IT TAKEN AWAY.

WE THOUGHT CEDAR GROVE DEFENDED IT.

WE WERE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE.

>> LET'S SEE WHAT IS GIVEN.

>> THE CEDAR GROVE DEFENSE.

>> LET'S TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

WE LOOKED AT SANDY CREEK AND HOW WE GOT HERE.

THREE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS ALL HERE IN THE PAST YEAR.

IT HAS NOT BEEN HERE TO THE TITLE GAME.

THEY GOT TO THE SEMIFINALS AND 2018.

WE SEE WHAT HE DID THERE.

JUST OUTSTANDING TO BUILD THIS COMBINATION.

AMONG THE ALUMNI'S, WE MENTIONED MEGATRON.

THERE IS JABARI SMITH, OUT OF AUBURN.

>> CHRISTIAN TAYLOR, OLYMPIAN, ALSO PLAYED FOOTBALL.

>> AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF BRINGING ALUMNI BACK TO TALK TO THE PLAYERS.

THEY MENTIONED THAT TAYLOR SPOKE TO THEM EARLIER IN THE SEASON, AS WELL.

BACK ON THE FIELD NOW.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE PATRIOTS DIALED UP.

JAMARI LATIMER.

HE HAS AMARI LATIMER IN MOTION.

HE FUMBLES THE BALL.

>> THAT WAS LAWSON.

>> HE WAS TRYING TO THROW THE BALL.

>> WE HAVE A FLAG ON THE FIELD HERE.

>> THEY ARE GOING TO MARKET THE BALL AT THE 20.

>> REFEREE: HE THREW IT OUT OF THE POCKET.

HE DIDN'T GET OUT BACK TO THE LINE.

LOSS OF DOWN.

>> GREAT EXPLANATION THERE.

NOW YOU ARE ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 20.

GREAT PURSUIT BY LAWSON.

>> LOOK AT THAT.

GOT A HOLD OF HIM AND WON'T LET GO.

>> THAT IS THE RIGHT CALL.

>> NOW IT IS FOURTH AND GOAL FROM THE 26.

THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT.

IT IS OUT OF FIELD GOAL RANGE.

IT IS OVERTHROWN, INTENDED FOR KEYSHAWN KENNY.

WHAT A GREAT JOB BY CEDAR GROVE.

THEY HOLD.

THEY GAINED THE YARDAGE.

>> THE DEFENSE BAILS OUT THE SPECIAL TEAMS.

IT WAS A PUNT.

THEY GIVE SANDY CREEK GREAT FIELD POSITION.

THEY ARE ABOUT TO GO 14-0 IN THIS GAME.

GIVE THE BALL BACK TO THE OFFENSIVE UNIT.

>> THAT LOSSES 12 YARDS.

THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE BALL BACK AT THE 26.

>> GREAT JOB BY THE DEFENSE.

THEY GO UP THE MIDDLE, WITH AUTHORITY.

HUGE HOLE BY THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

IT GOES TO MARCUS SMITH ON THE CARRY.

>> MARCUS SMITH.

600 YARDS RUSHING THIS SEASON.

HE'S RUNNING HARD THIS TIME.

>> THE OFFENSIVE LINE WAS OUTSTANDING THERE.

THERE WAS NUMBER 61, DARIUS KNEELS, AMONG THE BIG BOYS CLEARING AWAY.

>> IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN GAME.

IT IS STILL THE FIRST QUARTER.

THE PATRIOTS ARE UP, 7-0.

HE GOT A FIRST DOWN PASS.

IT WAS A NIFTY MOVE BY LEE.

JOEL REED BROUGHT IT DOWN.

>> NICE RUNNING.

>> SIX MOVES.

FIRST DOWN.

>> IT'S THE FIRST FIRST DOWN OF THE GAME.

THERE IS ELLIOTT COLSTON JR.

THEY ARE AT THE TWO MINUTE MARK.

HE KEEPS IT HIMSELF.

NICE TACKLE THERE BY READ.

HE HAD MORE GREEN IN FRONT OF HIM.

>> FIRST DOWN RUN.

ANOTHER LOOK AT IT HERE.

PLENTY OF TIME ON THE PLAY CLOCK.

HE CHANGES THE PLAY.

PLAY CLOCK DOWN TO SIX.

HANDOFF.

POWER RUN THERE BEFORE HE IS BROUGHT DOWN.

SMITH, AGAIN.

THERE'S A GOOD LOOK AT THE MARCUS SMITH.

>> NICE JOB THERE.

THEY ARE RUNNING VERY DETERMINED.

THIRD DOWN, THOUGH.

>> THIRD AND THREE.

IT IS A FUN CHESS MATCH BETWEEN THESE TWO COACHES.

>> LET'S SEE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO.

OKAY.

LET ME CHANGE.

THERE IS THE FLAG.

I BELIEVE SANDY CREEK KNOWS THEY WERE OFFSIDE.

>> ENCROACHMENT ON THE DEFENSE.

JOEL REID WAS A LITTLE BIT EAGER.

>> WATCH ALL THE REDSHIRTS JUST START WALKING BACKWARDS.

THERE'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION.

>> FIVE YARDS.

THEY ARE IN SANDY CREEK TERRITORY.

HE GETS AWAY.

>> HE IS LIKE A MAGICIAN.

>> HOUDINI.

>> LOOK AT THE RED JERSEYS THAT HAD THE CHANCE TO GET HIM.

THERE IS ANOTHER ONE.

TWO MORE.

FINALLY, TREY FRANKLIN BRINGS HIM DOWN.

AT FIRST.

I THOUGHT FRANKLIN HAD HIM IN THE BACKFIELD.

HE GOT AWAY.

10 SECONDS HERE ON THE PLAY CLOCK.

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL PLAY OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

SANDY CREEK ON TOP.

>> JUST RESET THE PLAY.

>> THE CLOCK IS MOVING.

THEY'RE TRYING TO CHANGE THE PLAY.

DOWN TO TWO SECONDS ON THE GAME CLOCK.

THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT.

>> ONE QUARTER IN THE BOOKS.

IT'S BEEN EXCITING.

TWO REGIONAL RIVALS.

7-0.

SECOND QUARTER, STRAIGHT AHEAD.

>> DOWNTOWN ATLANTA IS A BIT IT'S NOT OVERSHADOWING THE ELECTRICITY HERE ON THE FIELD FOR THIS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

CEDAR GROVE, THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS, TRY TO REPEAT, AS THEY FACE THE SANDY CREEK PATRIOTS.

SANDY CREEK IS ON TOP, 7-0.

A GREAT PLAY EARLY ON.

THERE WAS A FIRST DOWN BY FRANKLIN.

BUT CEDAR GROVE IS HERE ON THE MOVE, TRYING TO LEGALIZE HERE.

THAT WAS A GREAT DEFENSIVE STOP AFTER THE PATRIOTS GOT INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE.

IT WAS EJ COLSON, THE QUARTERBACK.

HE GOES STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.

HE SAVED A TOUCHDOWN THERE.

GREAT TACKLE.

THAT WAS TRAVIS FRANKLIN.

BOY.

LOOK AT THE REPLAY HERE.

LOOK AT THE JOB THE OFFENSIVE LINE DID.

>> THEY OPENED UP THE HOLE.

LOOK AT THE RUN.

FRANKLIN WAS THERE.

HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE END ZONE.

THAT WAS OUTSTANDING.

>> AND HE'S STILL ON HIS FEET.

AGAIN, HE WON'T BE DENIED.

SECOND AND SHORT AFTER THAT NINE YARD GAIN.

AND IT'S A FIRST DOWN.

HE LOST HIS SHOE IN THAT.

WATCH THE ISSUE COME OFF.

>> DETERMINED RUNNING, WITH OR WITHOUT THE SHOE.

>> THERE WE GO.

>> HE'S GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

>> I DON'T NEED SHOES, COACH.

>> THEY ARE IN THE RED ZONE.

THEY COME IN FROM THE 14.

>> FIRST DOWN.

>> THE FOURTH PENALTY FOR 25 YARDS FOR SANDY CREEK.

EXCELLENT GAMEPLAY BY THE PATRIOTS SO FAR.

THAT WILL BE A NEGATIVE.

NO QUESTION.

>> THEY WALK OFF FIVE.

FOR SOME GOAL NOW AT THE NINE.

FIRST DOWN FROM THE 9 I SHOULD SAY.

HE TRIED TO HIT LEE, BUT THAT WAS GREAT DEFENSE BY THE SECONDARY FOR THE PATRIOTS.

>> YOU HAVE A LITTLE RPO THERE.

YOU TRY TO SWING IT IN THERE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

WHOSE HAND GOT IN THERE.

ALMOST INTO THE ARMS THERE OF KALEB COX.

HE ALMOST CAME DOWN WITH IT.

>> MARSHALS WAS THERE AS WELL.

NINTH PLAY OF THE DRIVE HERE FOR THE SAINTS.

THIRD DOWN.

HANDOFF.

>> THAT IS ONTARIO LAWSON WITH THE CARRY.

HE WILL BE SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.

SEE WHERE THEY MARKET.

>> FRANKLIN WAS ONE OF THE RED JERSEYS AND ON THAT STOP.

THIS IS A BIG PLAY.

>> THIRD DOWN.

I LOST TRACK.

ALL RIGHT.

CHANGING PLAYS AGAIN.

COLSON HANDS IT OFF AGAIN.

IT GOES TO QUINN TERRIO LAWSON ON THIRD DOWN.

AND CEDAR GROVE GETS ON THE BOARD.

>> WATCH HIM PICK HIS SPOT BEHIND DARIUS KNEELS.

>> OUTSTANDING DRIVE HERE BY CEDAR GROVE.

IT STARTED BY GREAT DEFENSIVE EFFORT.

THEY GOT IT AT THE 26 AND THEN BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE SCORE.

AMARI FORTE IS IN GREAT HOLD BY HIM.

>> AND IT'S A NEW BALL GAME HERE AT SIX CENTER PARC STADIUM.

7-7.

>> 10:04 HERE TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

HERE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

IT IS TIED NOW AT SEVEN.

SO PROUD OF OUR SPONSORS AND THANKFUL FOR THE SPONSORS, BUCKLE UP GEORGIA, REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP.

WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> I DO THINK THEM.

>> AND WE DO REPEAT THEIR MODEL.

BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD THIS TIME OF YEAR.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD ON THEIR WAY TO CENTER PARC STADIUM FOR OUR GAMES HERE TODAY.

>> IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WEEK.

>> HERE IS THE KICKOFF FOR THE SAINTS.

>> HE FOUND THE HOLE.

THE BALL IS LOOSE.

CEDAR GROVE SAYS THEY HAVE IT.

>> AND THEY DO.

SO THE SAINTS ARE FORCING A TURNOVER ON THE KICKOFF.

AND THEY ARE IN BUSINESS.

>> 21, JOSEPH SLAUGHTER GOT THE FOOTBALL.

21 IN THE WHITE JERSEY GOT IT.

>> WELCOME IT WAS STILL MOVING AROUND.

>> SO THE CEDAR GROVE OFFENSES GOING RIGHT BACK ON THE FIELD.

STARTING AT THEIR OWN 29.

>> LET'S SEE WHAT THEY CAN DIAL UP.

RICKY LEE, IN THE BACKFIELD.

BACK TO ALLIE COLSTON JR.

TRYING TO MOVE JAVON BECKHAM TO THE RIGHT.

THAT, HE DOES.

HE FAKES THE RUN.

HE KEEPS IT, INSTEAD.

HE IS THROWN OUT OF BOUNDS THERE.

THAT BRINGS UP SECOND DOWN.

>> HE SAW IF HE COULD FIND THE TARGET.

HE DECIDED TO RUN IT.

>> AND HE TRIED TO FAKE A RUN, HOPING HE WOULD FIX THE DEFENSIVE BACK.

HE DIDN'T BITE.

>> HE IS LOOKING TO GO DOWNFIELD WITH THAT.

I LIKE THE PLAY CALL.

SPOKE THERE IS A LOOK AT THE COACHING STAFF.

CHAMPIONS A YEAR AGO.

SECOND DOWN, COLSTON.

HE OVERTHROWS HIS INTENDED RECEIVER.

KEVIN CARTER.

THAT BRINGS UP THIRD AND SEVEN NO.

AND COLSON WAS KNOCKED OUT ON THE PLAY.

>> COLSON TOOK A SHOT.

A LITTLE BIT OF A GREETING CARD HERE.

HELLO.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNEW I WAS HERE.

>> COLSON IS 1 FOR 4 FOR SEVEN YARDS.

THAT'S THE CEDAR GROVE OFFENSE.

THAT LAST DRIVE, BY THE WAY, TEMPLATES, 74 YARDS.

5:18.

THIRD DOWN.

PAULSON, THE RECEIVER.

JACKSON.

BARRY JACKSON HAS GOT IT.

HE IS STOPPED SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.

IT BRINGS IT FORTH THEM.

>> RIGHT THERE WITH HIM WAS TRAVIS FRANKLIN, MAKING THE PLAY.

WHAT 14 IN WHITE.

HE WANTS TO GET THE BALL IN HIS HANDS BUT HE WASN'T GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY WITH FRANKLIN.

>> NICE PLAY FOR HIM.

HE WENT TO ALCORN STATE.

>> HE IS GOING TO MAKE A NICE PLAY FOR SOMEBODY AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

>> FORTH AND FOR NOW.

EMPTY BACKFIELD FOR COLSON.

AN ENCROACHMENT CALL.

>> ENCROACHMENT, ON THE DEFENSE.

>> NOT ONLY IS IT A PENALTY.

FOR THE SECOND TIME AND SCORED HER, IT GIVES THEM A FIRST DOWN.

>> LOOK AT THIS.

>> YOU WANT TO GET IN THERE.

YOU HAVE TO HIT ON THE QUARTERBACK BEFORE.

HE WILL TOGETHER BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE.

>> COLE WAS CHANGING HIS COUNT.

THE CADENCE OF HIS COUNT BEFORE HE SNAPS THE BALL.

IT HAS WORKED THREE TIMES ALREADY THIS GAME.

TWICE, IT HAS BEEN A FIRST DOWN.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR BARRY JACKSON.

HE OVERTHROWS HIM AND BRINGS UP SECOND DOWN.

YOU SEE IT DOWN AGAIN POINT >> HE GOT HIT THAT TIME.

WILLIAM LILES GOT SOME SACKS DURING THE COURSE OF THE SEASON.

HE WAS RIGHT THERE, JUST TO PUT THE HIT ON HIM.

WATCH THE PRESSURE.

THE PATRIOTS DEFENSE IS DIALING IT UP.

>> COLSON WENT DOWN THERE.

WAS IT ABOUT THIRD BASE OVER THERE?

>> CLOSE TO IT.

CLOSE TO IT.

>> HOPEFULLY.

>> THIRD DOWN, LOOKING FOR JACKSON.

OVERTHROWS HIM AGAIN.

THAT WAS ON THIRD AND 10.

>> YOU CAN SEE HIS BODY LANGUAGE.

FRUSTRATION.

>> HE DID HAD SOME PRESSURE.

HE HAD THE PLAY HE WANTED.

HE THREW THE BALL OUT TOO FAR.

RIGHT NOW, HE IS TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.

>> I THINK THIS DEFENSE HAS HIM THINKING HE WANTS TO GET RID OF THE BALL BEFORE THE PRESSURE CAME.

>> IT WAS A GOOD THROW.

IT WAS JUST A SECOND AND A HALF TOO SOON.

SO FORTH DOWN.

FOURTH AND 10.

LAWSON IS IN AT RUNNING BACK.

THEY HAVE TO GET DOWN TO THE THIRD.

THEY WILL TRY TO JUMP AHEAD IN THE GAME.

THERE GOES LAWSON.

>> COLSON IS JUST HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS POISE HERE.

VERY ELUSIVE.

THE RECEIVER WAS WIDE OPEN.

HE DOES A GREAT JOB OF GETTING AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE.

HERE IT COMES ONCE AGAIN.

THERE IS THE RECEIVER, WIDE OPEN.

HE OVERTHREW HIM.

>> HE KNEW IT IMMEDIATELY.

>> OH MY GOODNESS.

>> WELL, NOW IT IS FIRST DOWN.

46 YARD DRIVE.

DORI, TO HOLD.

THERE IS THE SNAP, AND THAT IS A GOOD KICK.

>> HE IS GOOD.

>> 36 YARDS OUT BY THE SOPHOMORE, AMARI FORTE.

AND THEY HAVE THE FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME.

>> THERE IS THAT POND.

>> COACH, I'VE GOT YOU.

>> HE HAS ATONED.

>> THERE IS A LOOK AT COACH ADAMS.

>> WHAT A JOB HE HAS DONE.

>> EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE PROGRAM BE SUCCESSFUL, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SUCCESS.

>> SO TO TAKE THIS, PUT HIS STAMP ON THIS, AND KEEP THE MISSION GOING AT CEDAR GROVE, GREAT JOB BY JOHN ADAMS.

>> WHEN YOU TALK WITH HIM, THINGS WERE ALREADY GOING THERE AND GOING WELL.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO LET THINGS GO DOWN.

ALSO, THE PLAYERS, ALSO.

THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN IT.

>> HE WAS ALREADY IN PLACE AND HE HAS TAKEN THAT AND HAS BUILT ON THAT.

THEY HAVE A 10-7 LEAD HERE.

FIVE PLAYS.

11 YARDS.

ONLY 7:28 WITH ALL THE INCOMPLETE PASSES.

THE TIME THAT ELAPSED IN THE HERE ARE THE NUMBERS.

SO SANDY CREEK HAS SOME THINGS TO CLEAN UP YOUR.

FIVE PENALTIES ALREADY, INCLUDING THREE ENCROACHMENT PENALTIES.

>> THEY KEEP CEDAR GROVE AND THE OFFENSE GOING.

FORTE, SHOWING OFF HIS LEG AND KICKING IT THROUGH THE END ZONE.

>> NOW, LET'S SEE WHAT SANDY CREEK IS ABLE TO DO OFFENSIVELY.

THEY WERE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS.

>> >> I'M ON THE SIDELINE.

AND ELLIOTT KOLTON JR., THE QUARTERBACK, SEEMS TO BE IN A LOT OF PAIN.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY ICING THE LEFT LEG.

THERE IS NO DESIGNATION ON THE STATUS.

>> OKAY, WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.

HE MISSED LAST YEAR'S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BECAUSE OF INJURY.

THEY HAD ANOTHER PLAYER COME IN AND PLAY OUTSTANDING.

BUT HE IS TAKING SOME WICKED SHOTS HERE.

>> LET'S SEE HOW HIS STATUS IS GOING TO BE, IF THEY KEEP HIM OUT TO PLAY.

>> MEANWHILE, BACK TO LIVE ACTION.

FIRST DOWN, LATIMER COMPLETES THE PASS TO CAYSON.

THEY BEGIN PLAY FROM THE 20.

NOW, IT'S UP TO THE 24.

IT IS SECOND AND SIX, COMING UP.

>> WATCH COLSON BEING TENDED TO ON THE SIDELINE.

CLASS THREE A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> JAMARI LATIMER, AT QUARTERBACK.

HE THROWS.

IT GOES THROUGH THE HANDS OF KEYSHON KENNY.

HE FELT THE DEFENSE COMING.

NUMBER 4, LEE WAS THERE.

FOUR-STAR, TO OHIO STATE.

>> REFEREE: PERSONAL FOUL.

TARGETING, ON THE DEFENSE.

15 YARDS FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT.

FIRST DOWN, OFFENSE.

>> WE COULD HEAR THE CRACK OF THIS.

HERE IT IS IN THE BOOTH.

TAKE A LISTEN.

>> SO THE CALL ON THAT WAS TARGETING.

AGAIN, THAT IS A SAFETY RULE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLAYERS ARE SAFE.

HE CAME AND HIT HIM HARD.

AND LEE CALLED FOR THE 15 YARD PENALTY AFTER THAT.

SO A FIRST DOWN FOR SANDY CREEK IS THE RESULT.

IT IS TAKEN OUT TO THE 39.

THE PATRIOTS SCORED FIRST.

CEDAR GROVE HAS ENTERED WITH 10 CONSECUTIVE POINTS.

LATIMER CANNOT FIND ANYBODY AND HE IS BROUGHT DOWN.

GREAT SECOND EFFORT.

THE BALL IS LOOSE.

>> BUT WAS HE DOWN FIRST?

>> THE OFFICIALS ARE CONVERGING.

>> THE CLOCK CONTINUES TO RUN.

>> FIRST DOWN.

>> IT IS RECOVERED FOR THE SECOND TIME BY CEDAR GROVE.

>> TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

>> WATCH FOR NUMBER 9 COMING HERE.

HE CAME TO THE BACKSIDE AND MADE THAT HIT.

THE BALL COMES LOOSE.

>> I BELIEVE GREEN IS THE ONE WHO RECOVERED IT, AS WELL.

IT WAS BEHIND THE QUARTERBACK, LATIMER.

SO THINGS ARE UNRAVELING HERE FOR SANDY CREEK.

>> THEY ARE GETTING OFF TO A GREAT START IN THIS GAME.

>> AND THERE IS COLSON.

HE'S COMING BACK IN.

>> IN THE LAST TWO DRIVES ENDING, WITH A LOST FUMBLE.

>> WE WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON COLSON AND SEE HOW HE IS MOVING.

>> LIKE WE SUCCUMB HE'S UNDER A GREAT DEAL OF PRESSURE.

>> IT IS IS LEFT LIKE THEY ARE WORKING ON.

COLSON IS A SOPHOMORE.

UNDER PRESSURE AGAIN.

HE HOBBLED JUST A BIT.

HE SLIDES DOWN THERE AT ABOUT THE 28.

ELLIOTT COLSON, JR., WITH A SHORT RUN.

HE IS FAVORING THE LEFT SIDE.

>> YOU CAN SEE THAT JUST A BIT.

>> WHAT A COMPETITOR.

>> JUST GOT OUT OF THE POCKET AND PICKED UP WHAT HE COULD FOR HIS TEAM.

IT BRINGS UP SECOND DOWN.

>> SIX YARD GAIN ON THAT PLAY.

SECOND AND FOUR.

>> COLSON, AGAIN, LOOKING RIGHT.

>> HE SHOVELS IT, INSTEAD, TO THE TRAILING MIAMI JONES.

AND CREDIT THE SANDY CREEK DEFENSE FOR SNUFFING THAT OUT.

THAT BRINGS UP THIRD AND LONG FOR THE SAINTS.

>> HE WILL MAKE THE STOP ON THAT PLAY.

>> FLAG ON THE FIELD.

>> ILLEGAL MOTION, ON THE OFFENSE.

THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED.

THIRD DOWN.

>> THEY WILL TAKE THE LOSS, INSTEAD.

SO BOTH TEAMS ARE STRUGGLING JUST A BIT HERE IN THE LAST TWO SERIES TO GET ANYTHING GOING ON OFFENSE.

CREDIT THE DEFENSE OF BOTH SIDES.

>> THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.

BOTH DEFENSES HAVE RAMPED UP THEIR INTENSITY.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW.

>> DEFENSE STILL WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> THE PUSH IT BACK TO THE 32 AFTER THAT LOSS.

AND A TIME-OUT IS CALLED BY COLSON JR. THAT IS THEIR FIRST TIME-OUT.

>> TIME-OUT, CEDAR GROVE.

>> SANDY CREEK SPENT TWO ON THE FIRST DRIVE IN IT LED TO A TOUCHDOWN.

>> SO WE TALK ABOUT CEDAR GROVE AND THE SAINTS AND COACH ADAMS.

THEY ARE TRYING TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION ON SOMETHING, BUT WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, AS WE MENTIONED BEFORE, FOUR TITLES IN THERE GOING FOR THE FIFTH HERE.

16, 17, 18, 19.

COACH ADAMS IS COMING IN.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT, THAT IS NOT EASY.

90 WINS IN 2015.

IN THIS IS WHAT THEY DID.

NO PLAYOFF APPEARANCES IN THE FIRST DECADE OF THE CENTURY.

SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE BEEN A FIXTURE IN THE POSTSEASON.

AND AGAIN, SOME THE PROGRAM.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

IT GOES BACK TO THE PREDECESSOR, JIMMY SMITH, WHO IS NOW IN THE COACHING STAFF AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS.

WE TALKED ABOUT COACH SMITH AND CEDAR GROVE IS NOT ONLY WINNING FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS, BUT CHECK CHAMPIONSHIPS.

IT IS A GREAT TEAM.

>> WATCH THE COURT ABOUT COME BACK OUT ONTO THE FIELD.

>> ELLIOTT COLSON JR.

HE IS A SOPHOMORE.

THIRD AND EIGHT.

BACK DOWN TO THE 25.

THIS IS NOT THE WAY.

GREAT SHOT THERE BY JOEL REID.

BOTH OF THESE DEFENSES ARE DIALING SUMMING UP TONIGHT.

>> LET'S GO DOWN FOR MORE.

>> YOU GUYS WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT CEDAR GROVE'S RESUME AND WHEN WE SPOKE TO THE HEAD COACH, JOHN ADAMS, ABOUT THE SEASON, HE SAID THE MAJORITY OF THAT WAS ON THE ROAD.

THAT IS WHY HE CALLS HIS TEAM THE ROAD WARRIORS.

THEY HAVE SEVEN NONCONFERENCE MATCHES THAT THEY PLAYED AGAINST.

THE BIGGEST CONCERN WAS STAYING HEALTHY THROUGHOUT THAT RUN.

HE COMMENDS HIS GUYS FOR BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEMSELVES AND MAKE IT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

LARRY.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THERE IS A GOOD LOOK THERE AT COLSON.

3 OF 9.

FOR NOT JUST A COUPLE OF YARDS AFTER THAT LOSS.

>> THIS PLAY WAS A COUPLE OF MOMENTS AGO.

>> ALL THOSE INCOMPLETIONS, TREND GET THE BALL INTO THE END ZONE.

>> TIME-OUT, CEDAR GROVE.

>> THEY CALL ANOTHER TIME-OUT.

IT IS NOW FOURTH AND EIGHT, TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO HERE.

6:17 TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

THE SAINTS ARE ON TOP, 10-7.

AND AS WE MENTIONED, IT'S THE FIRST OF THREE GAMES ON GPB TODAY.

IT'S THAT THE THIRD AND FINAL DAY OF COMPETITION.

WE HAVE THREE FLAG FOOTBALL GAMES EARLY ON THURSDAY, AND THEN FOLLOWED BY FOOTBALL AFTER THAT.

AND BOY, IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN.

CEDAR GROVE ANTENNAE CREEK HERE.

WARNER ROBINS, VERSUS WHERE COUNTY AND LATER ON, CARLTON LATER IN THE DAY.

THIS IS WHAT THEY DID.

LOOK AT THOSE SCORES.

BACK TO BACK SHUTOUTS.

AND BEFORE THAT, >> THAT IS A REALLY GOOD TEAM.

>> WE SAW THEM HERE.

>> THAT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

>> IT GOES THAT WAS YOU.

>> THERE IS TEXAS A&M.

>> THERE IS HIS BROTHER, AT LSU.

>> A LOT OF TALENT UP THERE.

>> OKAY.

SO THEY DECIDED TO PUNT INSTEAD.

FORTE, TO PUNT.

NOBODY IS BACK.

NOBODY'S BACK FOR SANDY CREEK.

IT IS A HIGH PUNT THAT RULES THE WRONG WAY BUT WAS TOUCHED BY THE KICK TEAM AT ABOUT -- THEY MARKET AT THE 19.

>> SO A 13 YARD PUNT.

>> THEY WERE HOPING TO GET IT INSIDE THE 10.

>> IT'S AT THE 19 YARD LINE.

>> FIRST DOWN.

>> SO FORTE, WHO HAD A 36 YARD FIELD GOAL, IS GOT INCREDIBLE RANGE POINT HE CAN KICK THE BALL OUT OF THE END ZONE.

>> AT THAT POINT, THE PUNT NEEDS SOME WORK TODAY.

>> ULTIMATE BOUNCE BACK, THE WRONG WAY.

>> SO SANDY CREEK'S DEFENSE HOLDS.

CAN HOLD ONTO THE BALL THE LAST TWO DRIVES, AND ENDING WITH FUMBLES?

>> AND THEY NOW START AGAIN AT THEIR OWN 19.

>> MAN IN MOTION.

>> HE HAS THE BALL ON THE SCREEN, BUT IT GOES NOWHERE.

THERE IS A LOSS ON THE PLAY.

GREAT JOB THERE BY THE DEFENSE.

IT IS LED BY GREGORY TURNER.

>> THE SAINTS DEFENSE IS REALLY AFTER IT RIGHT NOW.

NICE PLAY CALL.

THAT WAS BAD.

GREAT SCOUTING.

I TELL YOU WHAT.

THIS HAS BECOME A DEFENSIVE STRUGGLE.

THOSE OPENING FEW MINUTES ARE IN A CHESS MATCH.

>> IT IS A CHESS MATCH.

>> SECOND AND 11.

THEY LOST ONE ON THAT PLAY.

THERE IS GREGORY TURNER.

I SEE WHERE HE IS HEADING NEXT.

THE PASS DOWNFIELD BY LATIMER.

IT IS COMPLETE FOR A FIRST DOWN TO KEYSHON KENNY.

NICE PICK UP THERE FOR THE PATRIOTS.

16 YARDS.

>> LATIMER FORGOT THIS WITH THE GOOD.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT BEHIND HIM.

HE MAKES THE ADJUSTMENT.

HE MOVES THE STICKS FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

>> A LOT OF GOOD-LOOKING RECEIVERS ON THE SANDY CREEK TEAM.

TAMIR LATIMER.

>> THERE IS A HANDOFF.

LATIMER, THE FRESHMAN, IS GETTING A LOT OF ACTION HERE IN THIS FIRST HALF.

GET SOME NICE ONES.

AGAIN, ONLY A FRESHMAN.

>> HE SCORED THE TOUCHDOWN EARLIER.

>> NIFTY MOVE TO GET INTO THE END ZONE.

>> 17 YARDS ON FOUR CARRIES SO FAR FOR ADAMS.

>> BOTH OF THESE TEAMS ARE OUT OF REGION FIVE.

THEY MET DURING THE SEASON BACK IN OCTOBER.

SANDY CREEK IS TRYING TO GET REVENGE IN THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

BUT THE PLAY CLOCK IS DOWN TO SIX.

>> LATIMER.

ROLLING.

HE IS GOING TO KEEP IT.

IT GOES TO THE SIDELINE.

GOOD PICKUP SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.

AGAIN, IT IS A GREAT JOB BY THE DEFENSE OF REALLY CONTAINING HIM.

HE HAS RUN ONLY ONE TIME.

>> THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

THEY WANTED TO KEEP SOMEONE ON HIM.

NOT LET HIM GET OUT THERE AND CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

>> HE STILL HAS SOME WORK TO DO TO GET THIS FIRST DOWN.

THIS THIRD DOWN HERE.

>> COULD PURSUE THERE BY JAVON BECKFORD.

>> THIRD AND SIX NOW.

HE RAN A LONG WAY JUST TO GET A COUPLE OF YARDS.

GOT TO GET TO THE 44.

>> WE ARE NEARING THE FOUR MINUTE MARK.

THE CLOCK STOPPED AT 4:17.

HE GETS AHEAD A COUPLE OF YARDS.

HE WILL BE SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.

IT WOULD APPEAR, A PUNT IS ON THE WAY.

IT IS FOURTH DOWN.

ABOUT THREE YARDS TO GO.

YES.

WE HAVE THE PUNT TEAM.

DALEN PENSON IS DROPPING BACK TO MAKE THE KICK.

RICKY LEE, THE TALENTED FOR CEDAR GROVE IS BACK.

>> YOU CAN CALL HIM THE DEFENSIVE BACK.

HE DOES IT ALL.

>> HE DOES A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.

HERE HE IS.

HE WANTS TO GET HIS HANDS ON THE BALL HERE.

>> A GOOD SNAP.

GOOD KICK.

IT GETS AWAY FROM LEE.

IT GOES OUT OF BOUNDS.

IT GOES OUT OF BONES OF THE 22 YARD LINE.

THAT IS WHERE CEDAR GROVE HAS A KICK.

THERE IS A FLAG ON THE WAY DOWN.

>> THERE'S A LITTLE GOING ON UP THERE.

>> THERE HELPING THE OFFICIALS TODAY.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE THAT.

>> IT IS AGAINST SANDY CREEK.

>> AFTER THE PLAY, DEAD BALL.

PERSONAL FOUL.

ON THE WHITE TEAM.

HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL.

IT WILL BE FIRST DOWN.

CAYENNE LEE IS CALLED FOR THAT PENALTY.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, BEFORE THE CALL, THAT SANDY CREEK, THE PENALTIES HAVE BEEN DO SITTING FOR THEM IN THIS GAME.

THIS ONE IS GOING THE OTHER WAY.

>> THAT TAKES IT BACK TO ABOUT THE 12.

THAT'S ON THE WALK OFF.

3:21 TO GO HERE.

CLASS THREE A CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST CEDAR GROVE, TRYING TO REMAIN CHAMPIONS FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.

LARRY SMITH AND DAN CRENSHAW.

WE HAVE JOHN MILTON AND HANNAH.

THEY ARE COMING UP AT HALFTIME.

THE TAKE THE CARRY-ON FIRST DOWN AND AGAIN, THE DEFENSE IS JUST OUTSTANDING.

>> THEY WERE JUST SWARMING.

THE WHITE JERSEYS ARE JUST EVERYWHERE.

THEY ARE ALL OUT.

>> NOTHING DOING.

>> TREY FRANKLIN ON THAT STOP.

SECOND DOWN.

COLSTON.

HE CAN'T GET AWAY.

WHAT A GREAT JOB THERE BY KAYLA PUNT TO STOP JACKSON.

JACKSON IS ANOTHER PLAYER WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT TO WATCH.

HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ON TRACK HERE.

THEY REALLY COUNT ON HIM IN THE SECOND HER.

>> THEY TRY TO GET THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.

BUT HE COMES UP.

HE IS A FOUR-STAR COMMITMENT.

ORDER BACK FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

HE MAKES A NICE STOP ON THAT PLAY.

>> THEY BRING UP THIRD DOWN.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE COACHES WERE TALKING ABOUT.

IT IS A GOOD STOP.

THE COACHES WENT ALL OUT.

IN THE FIELD THIS WEEK, WITH THE SEASON DONE.

AND YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR A MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE GUYS YOU WANT TO RECRUIT.

IT IS A BUSY WEEK.

IT IS CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK.

>> THIRD DOWN.

PAULSON GETS IT.

PASS THE 6 FOR A FIRST DOWN.

GREAT JOB BY ELLIOTT COLSON JR. TO GET THAT FIRST DOWN FOR CEDAR GROVE.

>> IS DOING WHAT HE CAN DO HERE.

HE LOOKS AND HE SEES AN OPENING ON HIS LEFT SIDE.

HE GETS TO THE SIDELINE AND HE GETS THERE.

HE MOVES THE STICKS.

IT IS A BIG FIRST DOWN HERE.

>> BIG PICK UP YOUR COME OUT TO THE 22.

HE THROWS.

IT'S COMPLETE.

THAT IS DEVIN CARTER, GETTING SOME YARDAGE OVER THERE.

WATCH THE TIME HERE, AS BOTH TEAMS WITH ONLY ONE TIME-OUT.

>> NICE EFFORT AFTER THE CATCH HERE.

HE MAKES IT ALMOST GO DOWN.

HE STAYS UP.

HE GETS THAT EXTRA YARD.

>> UNDER 90 SECONDS TO GO.

GOOD BOOK THERE.

ANN CARTER, ON THE SIDELINE.

10-7.

CEDAR GROVE IS TRYING TO ADD TO IT.

ANOTHER THROW, TRYING TO GET IT TO HIS START RECEIVER, LEE.

IT IS OVERTHROWN.

THE CLOCK STOPS AT 1:15.

IT BRINGS UP THIRD AND THREE.

>> JUST A MISSED CONNECTION THERE.

COLSON IS NOW 4 OF 11 FOR 23 YARDS.

AGAIN, THOSE INCOMPLETIONS ARE JUST --THE TIMING IS OFF.

I THINK HE IS GETTING RID OF THE BALL TOO SOON.

THIRD AND THREE NOW FOR CEDAR GROVE.

PLATE CHANGED ON THE SIDELINE.

PLAY CLOCK IS DOWNED A 3.

THEY GET IT OFF.

COLSON COMPLETES.

OH, OPENED IT.

WHAT A PLAY DEFENSIVELY.

WOW.

FRANKLIN.

HE IS TAKING OUT -- DID HE GET ENOUGH?

>> WATCH NUMBER 7 IN RED.

HE COMES UP AND, BOOM, MAKING THE STOP.

>> YOU HEAR THE REACTION FROM THE CROWD.

THEY ARE SHOWING IT HERE.

AT CENTER PARK STADIUM.

>> IT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN.

THE CLOCK CONTINUES TO RUN NOW.

UNDER A MINUTE.

TO THIRD AND TWO.

HE NEEDS TO GO DOWNFIELD, AND HE DOES.

HE'S LOOKING FOR BARRY JACKSON, AND IT IS OUT OF BOUNDS.

GREAT TIMING ON THAT ONE.

HE KEPT GOING TO THE RIGHT.

IF HE HAD GOTTEN THE BALL, IT WOULD'VE BEEN OUT OF BOUNDS.

GREAT FIRST DOWN CALL.

>> GREAT FIRST DOWN CALL.

YOU CAN LOOK AT IT.

HE HAD A GOOD TIME.

HE THROWS IT OUT THERE.

AND COMES DOWN.

HE IS OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> NICE IDEA.

TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO SET UP MORE POINTS ON THE BOARD BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AT HALFTIME.

>> THREE CATCHES.

THAT WOULD'VE BEEN HIS FOURTH.

33 YARDS FOR JACKSON.

44 YARDS NOW.

SMITH, IN MOTION.

>> COLSON.

YOU NEVER HAD A CHANCE.

BOY.

HE HAS HAD A MONSTER FIRST HALF.

10 YARD LOSS ON THAT.

>> WATCH NUMBER 10.

HE IS RIGHT THERE.

HE DOESN'T GET AWAY.

>> HE IS GOING TO STOP THE CLOCK RIGHT HERE.

>> REFEREE: TIME-OUT, SANDY CREEK.

THAT IS THEIR LAST TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

>> THEY ARE OUT OF TIME-OUTS NOW.

>> THERE HOPING THAT IF THEY CAN GET AN INCOMPLETE PASS HERE ON THE PUNT, THEY WILL GET ONE MORE CRACK AT IT BEFORE HALFTIME.

BY THE WAY, SANDY CREEK, IF YOU WORK WITH US AT THE BEGINNING, THEY WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO RECEIVE.

THEY TOOK THAT BALL RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD FOR A TOUCHDOWN TO START THE GAME.

IT WILL BE CEDAR GROVE GETTING THE BALL TO START THE SECOND HALF.

BOOK WE SAW CEDAR GROVE HERE.

HOW ABOUT SANDY CREEK?

BOTH THESE TEAMS KNOW HOW TO SCORE.

>> YOU SAW THOSE 70 POINT GAME THEY HAD.

IT WAS 70-14.

AND THEN CARVER, ATLANTA, ANOTHER REGION FIVE TEAM.

THAT WAS A RUNNER UP HERE IN ATLANTA.

THAT WAS THE RUNNER-UP HERE.

WHAT A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE BY THE PATRIOTS IN THAT GAME AND COACH GARVIN WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT, SEEING HOW GREAT IT FELT TO KNOW THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN BACK TO ATLANTA FOR A CHANCE FOR THE CHAIRMANSHIPS.

>> THEY GO TO THE LOCKER ROOM.

>> IT IS 10-7.

>> THAT IS HOW THE FIRST HALF WILL END.

>> LARRY, WE HAVE SEEN THE OFFICIALS WALK OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD HERE.

>> THEY ARE STILL TALKING.

>> IT IS THEIR 15th GAME.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE THAT LOSES IT.

YOU WANT TO WIN IT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> WE COME UP HERE ON HALFTIME HERE AT THE CAMPUS OF GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY.

10-7.

WHAT A DEFENSIVE STRUGGLE IT HAS BEEN HERE.

BOTH TEAMS PLAYED VERY WELL ON DEFENSE.

BUT CEDAR GROVE IS FORCING THOSE TWO FUMBLES AND GETTING THE TOUCHDOWN THE FIELD GOAL LATER FOR THE ADVANTAGE HERE.

10 STRAIGHT POINTS AFTER THE GIVE UP THE OPENING TOUCHDOWN TO THE PATRIOTS OF SANDY CREEK.

>> IS ALL THINGS CHANGE DEFENSIVELY.

THEY TOOK AWAY THAT DIRECT SNAP FROM THEM.

THEY MADE THEM GO AWAY FROM THAT.

SOME GREAT DEFENSE STYLED UP AND SOME CHANGES.

ADJUSTMENTS BEING MADE ON THE FLY, BY CEDAR GROVE.

THEY ARE SHOWING YOU WHY THIS TEAM HAS BEEN IN THE TOP.

WHITE NOBODY WANTED TO SCHEDULE GAMES WITH THEM THIS SEASON.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT SCHEDULING WAS.

YOU CAN SEE WHY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

-7 IS OUR SCORE.

LET'S GO TO LARISSA, WITH COACH.

>> COACH, WHAT IS YOUR OFFENSE NEED TO DO TO BE MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE?

>> I THINK WE JUST GOT TO STAY BALANCED.

I THINK WE GOT AWAY FROM THE RUN A LITTLE BIT.

WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK IN.

ARE ALL OFFENSIVE COACHES ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE GAME PLAN TOGETHER.

>> DEFENSIVELY, YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO LIMIT SANDY CREEK AND KEEP THEM SCROLLS IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

HOW IMPRESSED ARE YOU WITH THEIR PLAY?

>> I ENDED UP GETTING SOME TURNOVERS.

THEY ARE REALLY EXPLOSIVE.

WE'VE GOT TO DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF PUTTING THEM ON DEFENSE.

AND CONTAINING THE QUARTERBACK.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT IS NEXT ON GEORGE'S Mc IT IS SO MUCH MORE.

HERE IS THE GAME WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW.

CEDAR GROVE IS THE LEADING SANDY CREEK 10-7.

SANDY CREEK IS IN THEIR FIRST IMAGE OF THE PARENT SINCE 2012, WHEN THEY WON IT ON.

PETER GROVE HAD WON FOUR STRAIGHT TITLES AND SEVEN FIGURES AND IS THE DEFENDING CHAMP.

WE GOT THINGS STARTED OFF ON THURSDAY WITH FLAG FOOTBALL.

13-0 TO WIN BACK-TO-BACK STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS DID IT WAS 14-0 TO EARN THE DIVISION TWO TITLE AND DIVISION III.

THEY BEAT MILTON IN A CRAZY DOUBLE-OVERTIME GAME, 19-13.

THEN IT WAS THE BOYS TACKLE FOOTBALL TURN.

IN THE SINGLE-A DIVISION.

39-31 TO GET THEIR FIRST WIN IN 30 YEARS.

WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT STAY RIGHT HERE.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST AT CENTER PARC STADIUM RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> >> THE NUMBER ONE THING THEY CAN DO IS UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR TEEN IS VAPING.

IS IT TO ACT OUT?

IS IT BECAUSE OF PEER PRESSURE FROM FRIENDS?

ARE THEY USING VAPES OR OTHER SUBSTANCES TO HELP MANAGE ANXIETY OR MAYBE ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION?

BE SURE TO TALK TO YOUR TEAM TO UNDERSTAND WHY, AND ALSO MAKE SURE THEY ARE EDUCATED ON THE DANGERS.

I KNOW THAT IT NEVER GETS OLD, COMING BACK FOR THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR WHEN IT IS THE FOOTBALL SEASON.

>> WHAT IS THE PIPE LIKE?

>> THE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED.

JUST TRYING TO GET READY FOR THIS GAME.

>> AND OBVIOUSLY, THE BAND WAS OTHER JUST A LITTLE BIT AGO.

THEY WERE FANTASTIC.

IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR A LOT OF LOUD NOISE COMING FROM VANCE.

YOU SEE THE SUPPORT OVER HER LEFT SHOULDER, MY RIGHT, YOUR LEFT SHOULDER, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SEE THIS VIRTUAL OUT?

>> THIS SUPPORT FROM OUR ALUMNI ARE FAMILY, FANS, IT HAS BEEN GREAT ALL YOUR BID WE HAVE DID A LOT OF TRAVELING THIS YEAR FROM DZ AND RAILS.

IN THE FANS WAS THERE.

IT'S JUST GREAT HAVING OUR FANS WITH US.

TO SUPPORT OUR YOUNG MEN.

>> WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SCHEDULE GAMES IN DC AND PHYSICALLY ALL AROUND THE PLANET FOR THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM THESE DAYS?

>> WELL, COACH TALK TO ME EARLIER IN THE SEASON.

IN THE SPRING, WHEN HE WAS BRING THE SCHEDULE TOGETHER, AND HE SAID, TO BE ON THE NATIONAL SCENE.

SO HE WANTED TO GET THE NATIONAL RANKINGS.

SO WE PUT THE SCHEDULE TOGETHER.

WE PLAY SIX A AND FIVE OR SIX 70 SCHOOLS UNTIL HE GOT TO THE KIDS STEPPED UP TO THE CHALLENGE.

>> 30 SECONDS.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON AT CEDAR GROVE?

>> CEDAR GROVE IS DOING WELL ENOUGH.

WE HAVE CREATED A LOT OF NEW PROGRAMS.

AS FAR AS CLUBS.

WE STARTED ABOUND READ PROGRAM, WHERE OUR STUDENT ATHLETES AND SEVERAL OF OUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE GOING OVER TO THE INTO MINISTRY SCHOOLS AND GOING AND READING TO THE OUTLETS.

THINGS ARE GOING GREAT AT CEDAR GROVE BREANA PITTS >> OKAY, FLUSH THOSE ROCKS ON TIME.

>> THERE IT IS.

CLIFTON SPEARS, CEDAR GROVE.

TWO TRIPS TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, HANNAH.

>> EVERYONE GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FIRST HALF, AS WELL, WELL WE HAVE YOU.

CEDAR GROVE HAS GOTTEN THOSE RINGS WITH A LOT OF OFFENSE.

SANDY CREEK HAS BEEN ABLE TO SLOW THEM DOWN IN THE FIRST HALF.

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?

>> WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN.

THE GRAPHICS THAT WE HAVE, WHERE YOU ARE SEEING ALL OF THESE HIGH-POWERED OFFENSES FOR BOTH TEAMS SCORING 70 IN THE POSTSEASON.

SCORING 49.

SCORING 50.

SOMETIMES, YOU SIT THERE, AND YOU PULL THINGS BACK FROM THE YOU WANT TO SIT THERE AND MAKE IT EASY FOR AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS.

ANY KIND OF RELY ON YOUR DEFENSE IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT PROBABLY IN THE SECOND HALF, ONCE BOTH OF THE TEAMS HAVE MADE THE ADJUSTMENTS, THAT THE COACHING STAFFS ARE LOOKING AT, I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY OPEN UP IN THE THIRD QUARTER, AND THEN FALL AND CALM DOWN IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

IT'S BEEN INTERESTING FOR STAFF BECAUSE WE ARE USED TO SEEING ONE EXTREME, AND THEN WE ENDED UP WITH THE OTHER EXTREME.

>> YEAH, LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, JOHN, THE SECOND HALF, AND REAL QUICK, IT'S NOT SO WET TODAY.

IT IS NICE AND DRY FREE.

IT IS DAY NUMBER THREE OF OUR CHAMP IN DJOKOVIC.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING OUT THERE?

>> HEY, LOOK, AS LONG AS MY FRIENDS FROM TRADITIONAL MEDICINAL'S AND CUTTHROAT IS HERE, MERCIFULLY, I'M NOT LAYERED UP LIKE I HAVE BEEN THE LAST THREE DAYS.

I WILL BE SURE TO BRING MY RAINCOAT BACK TO THE STUDIO SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY WEAR IT, BECAUSE THERE'S PROBABLY SOME RAIN INSIDE THE RAINCOAT FROM HIS.

IT IS CEDAR GROVE ON TOP OF SANDY CREEK, 10-7 HERE AT HALFTIME.

WHAT A DEFENSIVE STRUGGLE WE SAW.

THIS IS IMPRESSIVE BY BOTH SIDES.

>> VERY IMPRESSIVE.

LIKE WE SAID FROM THE VERY OUTSET, THESE ARE TEAMS THAT KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL.

IT IS HARD TO BEAT A TEAM FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE SEASON.

AND FROM THE BEGINNING, IT LOOKED LIKE SENNA CREEK ON SUNDAY.

THEY GOT OPPORTUNITIES EARLY.

--FOR CEDAR GROVE.

IT BECAME A STRUGGLE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THIS GAME.

I'M CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THEY START THE SECOND HALF, AND WHAT ADJUSTMENT ARE MADE AND WHAT CHANGES ARE MADE IN THE LOCKER ROOM AT HALFTIME.

AS WE LOOK AT CEDAR GROVE COMING BACK OUT NOW.

>> WE TALKED WITH CEDAR GROVE COACH JOHN ADAMS BEFORE HALFTIME.

AND RIGHT NOW, COACH BRETT GARVIN IS WITH LORI SHUT HARRIS.

>> COACH, DEFENSIVELY, YOUR GUYS HAVE DONE PRETTY WELL, BUT WHAT MORE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTAIN THE COURT BACK FOR CEDAR GROVE?

>> IT'S GOT TO BE BETTER TACKLERS.

WE MISSED A LOT OF TACKLES IN THE FIRST HALF.

THEY ARE ELUSIVE GUYS.

THEY WANT TO SURE THAT UP.

MAYBE NOT QUITE SO MANY PENALTIES AND JUST RUN WHAT WE ARE DOING AND CONTINUE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING AND MAKE PLAYS.

DISPLAY AGGRESSIVE AND ENJOY THIS LAST 24 MINUTES.

>> THAT WAS A MESSAGE FOR YOUR TEAM?

THESE SENIORS HAVE 24 MINUTES.

THEIR CAREER AS SANDY CREEK FOOTBALL PLAYERS IS OVER.

>> THANK YOU, COACH.

>> LARRY, SAM.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE HALFTIME STATS HERE IN THIS THREE A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, AS WE TALK ABOUT A LOT OF OFFENSE.

AND REALLY, THERE WAS THAT OPENING DRIVE.

IT'S BEEN TOUGH, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF TURNOVERS.

>> YEAH, LISA, THE DEFENSES ROLLING THE DATE IN THIS FOOTBALL GAME.

IT LOOKS VERY BALANCED RIGHT NOW.

YOU EXPECT TO SEE MORE PASSING YARDS FOR CEDAR GROVE.

ALSO, WE HAVE THE COURT ABOUT COACH MOVING A LITTLE BIT.

WANT TO SEE HOW HE COMES OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM TO PLAY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THIS GAME.

>> I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW BOTH OF THESE TEAMS VERY WELL.

YOU MENTIONED THE 10 YARD, 10+ YARD PLAYS.

FOUR FOR SANDY CREEK.

DO YOU THINK BOTH OF THESE TEAMS ARE GOING TO TRY TO OPEN THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT AND TRY TO BREAK UP THESE DEFENSES?

THE DEFENSES ARE REALLY POUNDING AND IN THE FRONT SEVEN IN THAT BOX?

>> SOME THINGS THAT HAPPEN.

OF THE COURT ABOUT HAS TO GET THE TIME TO THE RECEIVERS, UNLESS THEY ARE UNLOADING THE BALL QUICKLY.

>> THEY COULD MAKE CHANGES IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> ABOUT A MINUTE AWAY FROM KICKOFF HERE, AS BOTH TEAMS ARE CONTINUING TO STRETCH, IN FACT, AS YOU MENTIONED, CEDAR GROVE IS JUST COMING ONTO THE FIELD, RIGHT THERE, AS WERE TALKING TO COACH GARVIN OF SANDY CREEK.

THERE'S A LOOK AT THE CORNERBACKS.

COLSON, KEN, HAD AN INJURY TO HIS LEFT LEG.

HE FAVORED THAT.

HE GOT TREATMENT ON THE SIDELINE.

THEY ARE REPORTING ON THAT.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO WATCH HIM AND SEE AND MAKE SURE THAT HE STAYS LOOSE.

HE IS SITTING ON THE BENCH RIGHT NOW, ABOUT TO BE WARM UP.

ON THE SIDE, LATIMER, OUTSIDE OF THAT FIRST DRAGON HAS NOT SEEN MUCH.

HE HASN'T HAD THE BALL AS MUCH.

HE HAD ONE OF THE FUMBLES, THE FIRST FUMBLE THAT HE LOST, BY GREEN.

HE'S TRYING TO GET ON TRACK, AS WELCOME AFTER THE FIRST TRY.

DESPITE HAVING WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WAS CONTENT.

THEY WANTED TO CONTAIN HIM AND HAVE HIM STAY IN THE POCKET.

HE WANTED TO GET OUT AND CAUSE PROBLEMS.

THEY BROUGHT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON HIM.

SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO.

DIFFUSE SOME OF THAT PRESSURE AND MAYBE GET SOME ROUTES THAT ARE UNDERNEATH AGAINST THEM.

I KNOW HE WAS TO SEE A GAMEBREAKER.

HE WANTS THIS A LONG ONES, BUT MAYBE AFTER WORK UNDERNEATH TO SEE IF THEY CAN OPEN SOMETHINGS UP LATER ON.

>> THE SHORT PASS GOES LONG.

>> LATIMER, 7 OF 12 PASSING.

WE TALKED ABUT IT AT THE START.

37 PASSING TOUCHDOWNS ON THE SEASON.

NONE SO FAR TODAY.

SANDY CREEK IS IN THEIR HOME READ.

BECAUSE OF THE FAR SIDELINE.

CEDAR GROVE IS WEARING WHITE, GETTING THEIRS.

THESE TEAMS ARE DOING BATTLE.

IT'S THE SAME SITUATION A YEAR AGO.

HE WAS GETTING THAT AMAZING SCHOLARSHIP.

THEY ARE AT CENTER PARC STADIUM WITH JOHN.

LET SEND IT TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

>> ANNA, IT IS A FULL HOUSE.

WE HAVE THE COACH IN THE BACK.

IT IS THAT TIME THAT WE HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO.

CONGRATULATIONS FROM OUR FRIENDS IN PUBLIC BROADCASTING.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE HAVE LOTS OF WORDS.

I AM THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A SCHOLARSHIP.

IT MEANS A LOT TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

IT MEANS A LOT.

THANK YOU.

>> THOMMY, WE HAVE BEEN SHOWING THIS ALL WEEKEND LONG AND WHAT FOOTBALL FRIDAY MEANS.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU, TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WHERE YOU CAN GIVE BACK?

>> IT IS TREMENDOUS.

YOU HIGHLIGHTED DUBLIN FOOTBALL.

MY FATHER WAS ON THAT TEAM IN THE '60s.

THEY WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

HE CARRIED THIS WITH HIM THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

WE ASKED COACH DAVIS IF WE SHOULD HIGHLIGHT ANYONE, AND HE SAID I HAVE TWO YOUNG MEN, ONE BEING JAMES GIBSON AND ANOTHER ONE IS SPECIAL WITH CESAR CRUZ.

WE HEARD A STORY AND REALIZED HE REALLY IS SPECIAL.

CESAR CRUZ, HE IS THE TYPE OF KID THAT THEY SAID IF I HAD 11 OF THEM, WOULD WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

IT IS WHAT HE BRINGS AS A TEAMMATE AND A STUDENT ATHLETE.

WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL HIS ACHIEVEMENTS AND WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF HIM.

WE ARE GLAD TO GIVE BACK.

>> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT PART OF EVERYTHING ALL YEAR.

WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEXT STEPS.

IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.

>> VAXU, HANNAH.

FANTASTIC WORDS.

>> TO GOOD THAN THAT SCHOLARSHIP, THAT IS GREAT.

STICK WITH US, WE HAVE MORE FROM THE GPB TAILGATE PARTY RIGHT AFTER THIS.

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE.

>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE TAILGATE PARTY.

WERE GETTING READY FOR THE 5-A MEEKLY HOT UP WITH BOTH OF THE COACHES TO LOOK AT THAT AND PREVIEW THIS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

LET'S START WITH WARE COUNTY HEAD COACH JASON STRICKLAND.

>> YOU KNOW, IT IS SURREAL.

WE HAVE PUT IN SO MUCH WORK AND WE HAVE AN UNBELIEVABLE GOOD GROUP OF KIDS.

>> CONSIDERING EVERYONE LAST YEAR, ALL THE MARQUEE NAMES, IT SEEMS TO ROLL AND PICK UP TO WHERE YOU LEFT OFF.

HOW MUCH WORK WENT INTO THAT?

LIKE WE HAD AN UNLIVABLE CORE GROUP.

THEY CAME --THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD FOR A LONG TIME.

ALSO, WE HAD UNBELIEVABLE TALENT.

I THINK THIS IS WHERE IT IS AT.

WE HAVE THIS GROUP OF SENIORS.

I HAVE SAID ALL YEAR THAT THEY ARE SPECIAL.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE SURPRISED THEY ARE HERE.

LET ME SAY THAT.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO ONE OF THE GREAT FOOTBALL TOWNS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE TO SEE SUPPORT AND HAVE THEM SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT AND BE THERE FOR YOU?

>> IT IS NOT JUST THIS YEAR BUT EVERY YEAR.

I HAVE SAID IT OVER AND OVER.

THE BRAVES WON THE WORLD SERIES A YEAR AGO.

I DO NOT KNOW IF OUR COMMUNITY KNOW THAT.

THEY KNEW -- THEY LOVE FOOTBALL.

THEY LOVE OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

K-LOVE OUR KIDS.

WE HAVE A SAYING, YOU KNOW, THAT WE LOVE OUR KIDS.

OUR GUYS CANNOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT PEOPLE KNOWING WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY PLAY AND WHAT POSITION THEY PLAY.

IT IS A UNIQUE PLACE AND WE ARE THANKFUL WE ARE A PART OF IT.

>> WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDELINE?

>> OH, GEEZ.

I KEEP SAYING --THAT TEAM ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE NOT GOING TO BE GOOD, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THAT WAY.

COACH WESTBROOK IS PHENOMENAL.

IT IS ANOTHER REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM.

THEY JUST KNOW HOW TO WIN, YOU KNOW?

IT IS ONE OF THOSE DEALS WHERE IF YOU ARE GOING TO EAT THEM, YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY EVERY PLAY UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME TO HAVE A SHOT.

WE WILL PLAY OUT OF OUR MINDS.

WE KNOW THAT BUT WE PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

>> THE GATORS HAVE BEEN RUNNER- UP THREE TIMES.

WARNER ROBINS IS THE DEFENDING FIVE A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FROM A YEAR AGO AND THEY ARE COMPETING IN THEIR SIXTH STRAIGHT FINALS.

ONLY TWO OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.

LET'S HEAR FROM THE HEAD COACH, MARQUIS WESTBROOK.

>> WHAT IS IT LIKE?

>> I MEAN, I CANNOT PUT IT INTO WORDS, YOU KNOW?

ESPECIALLY THE SEASON WE HAVE HAD, A WHIRLWIND OF THE SEASON.

THEY HAVE SHOWN A LOT OF RESILIENCE.

THEY HAVE IN FIGHTING.

THE COACHES HAVE BEEN ON THEM HARD.

IT IS A GREAT FEELING TO BE BACK IN THE GAME AGAIN.

>> GRADUATION HAPPENS AND THINGS HAVE TO COME THROUGH IN CYCLES.

YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS CHANGE.

IT IS KIND OF ROUGH.

>> YES.

IT WAS TOUGH IN THE BEGINNING.

TRADITIONALLY, WE DO NOT -- LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IT IS TOUGH, BUT THAT GUNFLINT IS WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO DO.

I JUST THANK GOD FOR THE KIDS AND THEIR RESILIENCE AND THE FANS.

>> YOU MENTIONED RESILIENCE.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE OTHER LESSONS YOU MIGHT HAVE LEARNED ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR TEAM WITH THAT ROUGH START, TO GET INTO THE LAST GAME?

>> NO MATTER WHAT, WE HAVE TO KEEP SWINGING.

WE TOLD THE TEAM, YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE GOALS AHEAD OF US.

WE STILL HAVE -- THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS ON THE LINE.

EVERYTHING WE WANTED WAS ON THE LINE.

THEY STILL BELIEVED AND THEY KEPT FIGHTING.

>> YOU HAVE THIS OLD REGION RIVAL.

WHAT YOU SEE WITH THEM?

>> THEY PLAY HARD DEFENSIVELY AND OFFENSIVELY.

THEY SPREAD THE BALL AROUND.

THEY HAD A QUARTERBACK THAT CAN GET IT.

THEY HAVE SOME BIG RUNNING BACKS THAT CAN GET IT TOO.

IT WILL BE A TOUGH BALLGAME.

COACH STRICKLAND HAS DONE A GOOD JOB.

HE IS A GREAT DIE GUY.

>> NOW THAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM BOTH COACHES, LET'S BRING JOHN BACK INTO PREVIEW THIS ONE FOR US.

JOHN, WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND WHICH PLAYERS SHOULD WE KEEP OUR EYES ON?

>> WELL, I KNOW WE FOCUS ON INCLUDING 2022.

WE HAVE FOCUSED --PART OF THE ALL-STARS ON DEFENSE, HE IS GOING TO CLEMSON.

WE HAVE SAID THAT A LOT ABOUT FOLKS GOING TO CLEMSON.

THE DEFENSE OF WARNER ROBINS -- WE KNOW THAT THEY WERE KICKING DIRT ON THEM WHEN THEY WERE 1-4 WITH THAT NINE REGION SCHEDULE BUT WITH ALL THE TRANSITIONS, WITH GRADUATION, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO REPORTED THAT WAS GOING TO BE, ISIAH CANION.

HE FIGURED IT OUT IN REGION WE KNOW WHEN THEY LOST THE RUNNING BACK TO THEM, YOU'RE WONDERING HOW IS THIS GOING TO BE?

IT IS MORE OF THE SAME.

THESE ARE OLD REGION RIVALS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF GREEN AND GOLD TO MY RIGHT.

WE HAVE --HANNAH, THIS WILL BE A GOOD ONE TO DECIDE 58.

>> I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT.

I WILL BE TALKING TO AT HALFTIME.

EVERYONE, FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

WE WILL HAVE SOME UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

ALSO, DO NOT FORGET YOU CAN TAKE THE GAINS ON THE GO BY DOWNLOADING THEM ON THE SPORTS AT.

WE ALSO WILL BE DOWNLOADING THEM AT GPB.ORG/SPORTS.

THEY BEAT CEDAR GROVE 21-17 AN HOUR GETTING YOU READY FOR WARE COUNTY AND WARNER ROBINS.

THE MATCHUP IS A GAME BETWEEN CARROLLTON AND MILLCREEK.

THE HAWKS ARE PLAYING FOR THE FIRST TITLE IN THE 19 YEAR HISTORY AND CARROLLTON IS BACK IN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2013.

THEY WON IN 1998 AND THEY HAVE JUJU LOUIS.

YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS ANY OF THE ACTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING THE TAILGATE PARTY.

TUNE INTO HALFTIME, LIKE I TOLD YOU.

WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE INTERVIEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS AND MUCH MORE.

IT IS THE GATORS VERSUS THE DEMONS NEXT ON GPB.
