>>> WELCOME INTO THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY AND POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND HIGHWAY SAFETY, BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

WELCOME INTO THE SPORTS STUDIOS IN ATLANTA.

WE WRAPPED UP A REGION 4-7A GAME WITH BROOKWOOD AND GRAYSON.

AND BROOKWOOD TOOK THAT ONE WITH A WIN.

AND WE WILL RECAP THAT ONE LATER UP.

BUT WHAT ARE THE OTHER REGION MATCHUPS.

THE GEORGIA EMC IS SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

VOEL DOS TA IS STILL BATTLING WITH THE TOP, AND MELTON IS THE ONLY UNBEATEN TEAM, AND THEY WILL LIKELY WIN THE REGION WITH A 35-34 WIN OVER ROSWELL.

AND IN 6A, LEE COUNTY WINS OVER NORTHSIDE WARNER ROBBINS.

AND LOOKING TO SPOIL THE RANKINGS IN THE REGION, THEY DID THAT.

AND IN EASTSIDE, THEY MOVE TO 3-2 WITH THE WIN OVER JACKSON COUNTY WHICH PUTS THEM IN THE TWO-SPOT IN THE REGION BEHIND CLARK CENTRAL AND THAT IS STILL IN THE BLENDER.

WE GO TO REGION 8-AAA AND TWO FINAL SCORES.

FOR THE ONE AND TWO SPOT, IN 8-AAA MONROE WILL GET FIRST WITH 17-14 WIN OVER OCONEY COUNTY AND THOMASVILLE IS THE ONLY UNBEATEN TEAM IN REGION 1-AA AND THEY HAVE WON TWO OF THE PAST FIVE REGION TITLES AND LIKELY TO DO IT AGAIN.

15-8 OVER FITZGERALD, AND THE FINAL SCORE IN THAT ONE.

WE WILL CHECK IN WITH JOHN NOW WHO IS AT BRENT MOODY FIELD IN LOGANVILLE, AND WHAT DID YOU SEE FROM OUR GAME, FIRST OF ALL, AND THEN I WILL ASK YOU ABOUT THE REGION SCORE.

>> SURE THING.

IT IS A DOMINANT DEFENSE THAT WE SAW FROM BROOKWOOD.

THAT IS WHY WHEN I ASKED COACH JONES ABOUT IT, I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO KNOW AGAINST THE ATHLETIC TEAM LIKE GRAYSON AND THE ATHLETIC QUARTERBACK TO PIN THEM IN AND HAVE THEM PLAY WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND GREAT DEFENSIVE EFFORT FOR THEM IN A GAME AGAINST A VERY, VERY YOUNG TEAM, AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE MISTAKES MADE BY YOUNG PLAYERS IN THE SITUATION, AND IT IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ADAM CARTER AND THE GRAYSON RAMS HERE.

GREAT WIN FOR BROOKWOOD TO PUT THEM IN THE TOP OF THE LADDER AT THE PARTICULAR REGION, AND IT IS THEIRS FOR THE TAKING RIGHT NOW WITH ONLY A HANDFUL OF GAMES LEFT IN THE SEASON, HANNAH.

>> JON, HOLD ON THE SCORE UPDATE, BECAUSE WE HAVE A SPECIAL COACH ON THE LINE, BUT I WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS, AND FIRST WE HAVE ANNOUNCED THE GAME OF THE WEEK FOR GPB NEXT WEEK, AND IT IS TO CLINCH THE REGION, CALHOUN AT CARTERSVILLE, AND JON, WHAT ARE THE THOUGHTS OF THE MATCHUP.

WE HAVE COACH FOSTER WAITING ON THE LINE, TOO.

>> WELL, SINCE CONNOR IS WAITING ON THE LINE, I WANT TO MAKE IT QUICK.

TWO GREAT FOOTBALL TOWNS, AND TWO TEAMS THAT PUT UP BIG NUMBERS TONIGHT TO GET READY FOR THE GAME.

AND I WILL SAY THIS, CALHOUN TRAVELS.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN CALHOUN GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR YOU TO WATCH THIS.

CARTERSVILLE WILL SHOW UP, AND WYMAN STADIUM IS GOING TO BE PACKED AND GET YOUR TICKETS NOW OR MONDAY OR SOMETHING, AND ASK COACH FOSTER WHEN YOU CAN GET THE TICKETS.

AND TWO GREAT TOWN, AND IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN ONE, AND TALK TO COACH FOSTER TO A SECOND.

>> OKAY.

LET'S BRING HIM IN.

AND COACH FOSTER, A BIG REGION 7-5A WIN OVER WOODLAND AND THAT 49-7 IS QUITE A GAP.

YOU GO 9-0, AND 4-0, AND UNDEFEATED ON THE SEASON.

>> YES, AND WE STARTED OUT FAST.

WE ARE PROUD OF THE KIDS FOR KEEPING THE FOOT ON THE GAS LAST WEEK, AND CREATED THE MOMENTUM, AND A GREAT WEEK OF PRACTICE AND PROUD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COME OUT ON TOP IN A LOCAL RIVAL GAME FOR US.

>> AND HOW TOUGH OF A REGION IS THIS?

>> OH, IT IS A TOUGH REGION.

EVERY WEEK IS PHYSICAL, AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE LOCAL SCHOOLS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS KNOW EACH OTHER, AND THE COACHES KNOW EACH OTHER WELL, AND IT IS CREATING A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.

>> AND YOU ARE THE GPB GAME OF THE WEEK, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR THE REGION TITLE, AND WHAT ARE THE THOUGHTS ON THAT ONE?

>> WELL, JUST BLESSED.

YOU KNOW, IT IS A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL ATMOSPHERE, AND THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE KIDS AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO PUT OURSELVES IN THIS ARENA AND SEEING HOW THEY RESPOND.

IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME FOR BOTH COMMUNITIES, AND JUST AGAIN, HONORED FOR YOU TO COME OUT HERE TO SEE US SUPPORT OUR PROGRAM.

>> COACH FOSTER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND JOINING US AFTER THE GAME.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME, AND GO CANES.

>> NOW, JON, NOW THAT COACH FOSTER IS NO LONGER ON THE LINE, WHAT ARE THE THOUGHTS OF THE MATCHUP?

>> NO, IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT MATCHUP.

WHEN YOU SEE THE TEAMS AS ELECTRIC OFFENSIVELY AS BOTH OF THE TEAMS ARE CLAY STEVENSON AND CALHOUN, AND IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE PHIL REEVES STADIUM, IT IS ONE OF THE BUCKET LIST ITEMS FOR ANYONE WHO IS A FAN OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL IN THE STATE.

BUT HONESTLY, THE MORE WE TALK ABOUT THE OFFENSES OF CARTERSVILLE, AND WE KNOW FROM CALHOUN, IT MIGHT BE A 10-7 THRILLER WHERE THE DEFENSES STEP UP.

I AM ANTICIPATING ONE OF THOSE WHERE THIS IS THE TEAM WHO HAS IT LAST WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO WIN IT.

IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN ONE WITH CALHOUN AND CARTERSVILLE TO DETERMINE THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS WHEN YOU FILL OUT THE BRACKETS AND SIT THERE, AND SAY, OKAY, IF THIS IS, THEN THIS.

I KNOW THAT THE FOLKS IN CALHOUN AND CARTERSVILLE ARE FILLING OUT THE BRACKETS AND PUTTING CALHOUN, CALHOUN, CALHOUN, AND CARTERSVILLE, CARTERSVILLE, KARLTERSVILLE, AND FILLING IT OUT TO FIGURE OUT THE PATHS ARE GOING TO BE, AND THIS IS GOING TO GO A LONG WAY, BECAUSE THE TWO TEAMS AND WHILE YOU GET FIRST HOME GAME, YOU THEN HAVE TO GO AND THE ROAD UNLESS YOU GO ON YOUR WAY, AND IF YOU ARE THE ONE-SEED, THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE HUNTING FOR, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE HOME AS LONG AS YOU CAN TO SAVE THE LEGS AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS TRAVELING TO YOUR GAME, AND EARLY GAMES, YOU KEEP THE HOME GAMES, BUT YOU WANT TO KEEP THE HOME GAMES.

>> AND NOBODY WANTS TO FILL THEM OUT MORE THAN JON NELSON.

HANG OUT WITH US FOR A SECOND, BECAUSE WE HAVE ANOTHER COACH ON THE LINE, AND THAT IS THE RAVEN HEAD COACH, JAY SHAW, OVER THERE AT THE REGION A-AA AND YOU CLINCHED IN THE REGION, AND WHAT WAS THE GAME LIKE TONIGHT?

>> WELL, JUST REALLY PROUD OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM, AND THE SENIORS WHO HAVE MEANT SO MUCH FOR THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM, OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAVE JUST BEEN ALWAYS DONE AND STOOD FOR THE RIGHT THINGS.

WE HAVE HAD SENIOR NIGHT TONIGHT, AND WE HONORED ALL 21 OF THEM.

THEY JUST A GOOD NIGHT FOR THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM, AND ABLE TO COME AWAY WITH A GOOD WIN, AND REGION WIN, AND ANY TIME YOU CAN TRY TO STAY ON TOP OF THE REGION, AND PUT YOURSELF IN A SPOT TO GET A PLAYOFF SPOT AND CONTINUE THE PLAY AT HOME IN THE PLAYOFFS IS A HUGE DEAL FOR US, AND JUST EXCITED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GO OUT TO EXECUTE, AND WIN ANOTHER REGIONAL FOOTBALL GAME.

>> AND ONE OF YOUR SENIORS BROKE DASHAUN WATSON'S TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA WHEN HE HIT 219, AND ANOTHER RECORD ON THE LINE WITH FOUR TDs TO BREAK THE RECORD OF THE RABUN COUNTY RECORD, AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THE STATS, BUT I AM ASSUMING THAT HE BROKE IT, COACH.

WHAT DOES HE MEAN TO THE TEAM?

>> WELL, HE IS STANDING FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD HOPE A QUARTERBACK STOOD FOR.

AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE SAID IT MANY TIMES THAT AS GOOD OF A PLAYER HE IS, AND GOOD OF A QUARTERBACK HE IS, HE IS A BETTER YOUNG MAN AND LEADER AND ROLE MODEL IN THE COMMUNITY, SO WE ARE VERY, VERY THANKFUL, AND THANKFUL THAT I GOT TO BE A PART OF THE JOURNEY AND COACH HIM, AND APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

HE TIED IT IF MY MATH IS CORRECT, HE TIED TREVOR'S TOTAL TOUCHDOWN PASSING TOUCHDOWN RECORD TONIGHT.

SO, THAT ONE, THAT IS STILL UP FOR GRAB, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO TIE IT TONIGHT WITH THREE PASSING TOUCHDOWNS.

SO REALLY PROUD OF HIM, AND HIS INDIVIDUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS ALONG THE WAY, BUT HE IS THE FIRST ONE TO TELL YOU THAT AS LONG AS THERE IS RABUN COUNTY HAS MORE POINTING THAN THE OTHER TEAM THAT IS WHAT COUNTS.

REALLY PROUD OF GUNTER AND WHAT HE MEANS TO US, AND THE WAY HE AFFECTS OUR WHOLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM, BUT WE HAVE GOT 20 OTHER SENIORS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE BEEN WITH GUNTER FOR A LONG TIME, AND PLAYED WITH HIM WHEN THEY WERE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS OLD, AND TIGHT KNIT GROUP, AND TIGHT KNIT FAMILY THAT I AM PROUD TO BE A PART OF.

>> NICE.

AND I THINK THAT WE WILL GET THAT, AND LOOK FORWARD TO HIM NEXT YEAR IN GEORGIA TO WATCH HIM, AND ONE MORE GAME ON THE BOOKS AT THE REGIONAL GAME AT UNION COUNTY, AND ONE MORE GAME AT UNION COUNTY, AND WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS, AND WHAT DOES IT DO FOR THE REGION?

>> IT IS THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FOR US IF WE CAN CLOSE IT OUT.

AND YOU KNOW, UNION COUNTY IS OUR BIGGEST RIVAL ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN ABOUT 40 MINUTES AWAY, AND SO, WE ARE ALWAYS EXCITED TO PLAY THAT GAME, AND WITH IT BEING A MOUNTAIN RIVALRY, AND YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS ANOTHER CHANCE THAT WE ALL GET TO PLAY ANOTHER GAME TOGETHER, AND MAYBE GET TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOVE TO DO TOGETHER, AND YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY REPRESENT RABUN COUNTY THE RIGHT WAY AND GO TO WORK SUNDAY AND PUT A GAME PLAN TOGETHER, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I AM PROUD OF OUR FOOTBALL TEAM WHERE WE ARE AT RIGHT NOW, AND LOVE EVERYTHING THAT WE STAND FOR, AND HOW WE PLAY AND WHAT OUR BRAND IS, AND JUST, AGAIN, VERY, VERY THANKFUL THAT I GOT TO BE A PART OF.

>> 8-1, AND 2-0 IN REGIONAL PLAY, AND COACH SHAW, THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN FROM TIGER THERE IN NORTH GEORGIA.

>> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

>> THANK YOU.

>> JON, HOW ABOUT GUNTER STOCKTON TONIGHT WITH ONE TOUCHDOWN AWAY FROM BREAKING TREVOR LAWRENCE'S TOUCHDOWN RECORD.

I THINK THAT HE HAS GOT IT.

>> YEAH, I THINK THAT HE IS ALL RIGHT.

HE IS A GREAT TALENT AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FANS OF THE FOOTBALL FRIDAYS AND THE GEORGIA PODCAST, WE CAUGHT UP WITH COACH SHAW, AND GO TO THE GPB.ORG, AND LISTEN TO EPISODE, BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT PULLING BACK OF THE CURTAIN AS TO WHAT IT MEANS TO RABUN COUNTY AND WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR COACH SHAW TO SEE ALL OF THE KIDS WHEN HE FIRST SAW THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE KIDS AND THE INTERWEAVINGS OF THE COACHING STAFFS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS THERE, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO GET TO THIS PARTICULAR POINT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE POLLS IN AA A WITH GPB, AND RABUN COUNTY THERE TO BE AT GAME 15, SO IT IS FUN TO CATCH UP WITH COACH SHAW AND CATCH UP WITH GUNTER STOCKTON TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON THERE, AND BIG WIN FOR THEM, AND CHASING RECORDS.

SO WE WILL BE WONDERING HOW MANY RECORDS THAT GUNTER STOCKTON KNOCKS OFF WHEN HE IS DONE.

>> IN THE PODCAST, DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS OF COACH SHAW AND GUNTER STOCKTON, AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, CHECK THAT OUT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR HANGING OUT, AND WE HAVE MORE COACHES AND SCORES AND HIGHLIGHTS COMING UP RIGHT HERE WITH THE COACH'S SHOW RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE "FOOTBALL FRIDAY POST GAME SHOW."

I'M HANNAH GOODIN COMING TO YOU FROM THE STUDIOS IN ATLANTA.

THE BRONCOS TOOK SOLE POSSESSION OF REGION 4 WITH A SCORE OF 35-14 WIN OVER GRAYSON.

AND 27 OTHER GAME WENT ON TONIGHT WHERE FIRST PLACE WAS ON THE LINE.

AND IN REGION 1-AA FITZGERALD WON, AND THIS IS A HARD FOUGHT WIN, COACH FITZGERALD.

>> YES, IT WAS EVERYTHING THAT WE WERE EXPECTING IT TO BE.

A DEFENSIVE BATTLE.

TUCKER PRUITT AND HIS STAFF, AND EVERYBODY DID A GREAT JOB OVER, THERE AND WE HAD A LONG ROAD TRIP, AND RIDING THE BUS BACK RIGHT NOW, AND SO PROUD OF THE KIDS AND THE DEFENSE AND THE OPPORTUNISTIC OFFENSE THE BEST WAY THE LOOK AT IT, AND THE SPECIAL TEAMS AND A COMPLETE GAME.

ALWAYS GOOD TO COME OUT OF THERE WITH THE WIN, AND LOOKING TO.

>> YOU ARE THE ONLY REGION TO BE UNBEATEN IN YOUR REGION, AND WON TWO OF THE PAST FIVE TITLES, AND YOU COULD DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR, AND WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?

>> I MEAN, IT IS SO GOOD FOR THE KIDS.

AND LIKE I TOLD THEM AFTER THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE WEEKEND OFF, AND GIVE THEM SOME EXTRA REST TO GO INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT GO INTO IT, AND YOU THE BANNERS AND THE NUMBERS ON THE SIGNS AND THAT IS GREAT, AND THEY CAN INSTILL THE LEGACY, BUT THE BIGGEST THING FOR US IS THE COMMUNITY AND THE FAN BASE ARE SO AMAZING.

I THINK THAT WE MAY HAVE HAD A BIGGER CROWD THAN FITZGERALD TONIGHT.

IT WAS AN ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE, AND TO GO BACK TO VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM, AND WE HAVE THE SENIOR NIGHT NEXT WEEK, AND THE FIRPS TWO ROUNDS AT HOME, AND ROBBINS HEENZ AND GET THAT ONE, AND THE THIRD-ROUND OPPONENT BACK AT HOME, AND DOING IT FOR THE FANS AND THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT TO DESERVE IT, AND KEEPING IT AT HOME FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

>> COACH GRAVE, THANK YOU FOR THE TIME, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT GAME, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS ONE MORE GAME ON THE SCHEDULE FOR YOU GUYS?

>> YES.

WE HAVE TWO GUARANTEED WITH THE FIRST ROUND, AND FROM THERE IT IS ON.

BUT EVERYDAY, WE GIVE THIS GROUP OF KIDS APPLAUSE BECAUSE THEY ARE A GOOD GROUP OF KIDS.

>> THE SEASON WINDING DOWN.

THANK YOU, COACH.

SO, JON, CALLING IN FROM THE BUS, AND I DIDN'T ASK WHERE HE WAS CALLING FROM.

>> WELL, THAT IS THE ELEPHANT FROM THE ROOM, BECAUSE IF HE IS CALLING FROM THE BUS, WHY SO QUIET?

THAT IS ONE OF THE QUIETEST WINNING BUSES.

WE SEEM TO GET THE QUIETEST BUSES FROM THE TEAMS THAT ARE WINNING OR SOME OF THE MOST CONSIDERATE STUDENT ATHLETES, AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT THAT HE GAVE THE COACHES ASSOCIATION THAT HE FLIPS THE COIN THE RIGHT WAY, AND ZACH IS RIGHT WAY, VETD RANS MEMORIAL STADIUM WITH ONE OF THE GREAT VENUES, AND SO AS THE FOLKS ARE FILLING OUT THE BRACKETS OF AA, YOU HAVE THE FOUR OR FIVE TEAMS AT THE TOP WHEN IT IS COMING TO THE RANKINGS FOR GPB SPORTS AND WORKING IT DOWN TO AA, IT IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST BRACKETS WE WILL SEE.

AND THOMASVILLE IS GOING TO BE THE ONE SEED AND FITZGERALD IS THE TWO AND ONCE AGAIN, A GREAT FOOTBALL TEAM THAT TRAVELS AND EVIDENCED BY THE PHONE CALL BY THE ZOOM THAT WE HAD WITH COACH GRAVES A SECOND AGO.

THOMASVILLE WILL TRAVEL.

THREE WORDS THAT WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL HERE IN STATE OF GEORGIA REGULAR OR POST-SEASON, THOMASVILLE WILL TRAVEL.

AS WE ARE UPDATING THE THINGS HERE, AND LOWNDES OVER COLQUITT, AND COMBINED THAT WITH TIP BEATING CAMDEN TONIGHT, AND LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE THE INSIDE TRACK TO 3-7-1A, AND SO ALSO ON THE BOARD IN SINGLE A, SLY COUNTY BEATING CHATCO WITH THE TWO TEAMS IN A SCORE OF 20-19, AND THE WILDCATS OF ELVILLE CONTINUING THE GREAT SEASON, AND ONCE AGAIN, I DON'T ANTICIPATE AS WE FILL OUT THE GPB TOP TEN, THAT IT IS GOING TO BE THAT MUCH, BECAUSE IT IS TWO TOP TEN TEAMS, AND WE SAW A LOT OF THAT THIS WEEK, AND ANOTHER ONE, MONROE AREA KNOCKING OFF MONROE AREA AND CONNEE AND HART AND STEVENS ALL IN THERE WITH ONE LOSS GOING INTO THE WEEK, AND ANOTHER ONE IN THE BLENDER WITH A LOT OF TEAMS AND A LOT OF TEAMS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF SPACE.

>> THANK YOU, JON.

WE WILL GET MORPH TO SCORES FOR YOU.

WE HAVE ANOTHER COACH THAT CALLED IN JUST NOW ON THE LINE, AND ERIC GODFREY WITH A WIN OVER SOUTH GWINNETT, AND COACH, YOU ARE CALLING IN FROM THE BUS.

TALK ABOUT YOUR GAME TONIGHT.

>> EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> YEAH, GREAT WIN FOR THE BOYS.

WE HAVE LOST TWO CLOSE ONES, AND GREAT WIN TONIGHT.

>> AND THE TEAM, ARE YOU ON THERE CELEBRATING WITH THE TEAM?

>> YES, AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE ARE.

WE ARE ON THE FIRST BUS HERE, AND THE GUYS HAVE CHATTED IT UP AND A GREAT TIME IN THE LOCKER ROOM, AND IT FEELS GOOD TO GET THIS.

>> WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH A LOT OF TEAMS FROM AROUND THE STATE.

TELL ME WHAT THIS WIN DID FOR THE REGION?

>> RIGHT.

WELL, IT GUARANTEES, WELL, IT IS GOING TO GIVE US A MUCH BETTER SHOT OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO THE PLAYOFFS AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT THAT POINT, AND IF WE LOST, WE ARE GUARANTEED NOT TO BE IN THE PLAYOFFS, AND AT THIS POINT, IT IS GOING TO GUARANTEE US AT LEAST A PLAY-IN GAME AT THIS POINT, AND SO WE CAN HOLD OUR OWN DESTINY, AND IF WE WIN THE NEXT GAME, WE ARE AUTOMATICALLY IN, AND SO WE ARE HOLDING OUR DESTINY.

>> THAT NEXT GAME IS A MATCHUP WITH BROOKWOOD AND WHAT WILL THAT TAKE TO GET THE WIN?

>> RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE LOOKING LIKE THE STRONGEST TEAM IN THE REGION AND PLAYING GOOD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

SO IT IS GOING TO BE TAKING A GREAT EFFORT FROM THE DEFENSE AND OFFENSE, BUT IT IS A RIVALRY GAME, AND ANYTHING HAPPENS, AND OUR KIDS WILL BE NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ENERGY CREATED IN THAT GAME.

>> THANK YOU, COACH, FOR CALLING IN FROM THE BUS.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> AND SO, JON, 1-2 IN THE LEAGUE PLAY, AND DIFFERENT FROM LAST SEASON, AND WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN THERE?

>> COACH GODFREY IS RIGHT, IF THEY HAD LOST TONIGHT, IT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST UPHILL BATTLES FOR THEM TO GET INTO THE POST-SEASON AND THE FIFTH TEAM LOOKING UP AT EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT NOW IT IS PARKVIEW AND SOUTH GWINNETT AND NEWTON THERE, AND THAT IS GOING TO BE DECIDED IN THE REGION WITH WHAT WE SAW HERE TONIGHT WITH THE ONE AND TWO BEING FIGURED OUT.

SO ONCE AGAIN, IT IS REGIONS THAT WE WILL SEE REFERRED TO BL ON THE PODCAST OR COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF OAR HERE, AND THE REGIONS WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF THE NON-REGION GAMES TO BE HEALTHY TO GET INTO THE REGION SPRINT, AND IN COACH GODFREY'S CASE IN PARKVIEW, YOU ARE IN A REGION WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING AT LOT OF THE ATHLETIC CLUBS GOING INTO A SMALL AMOUNT OF SPACE, AND BIG WIN TONIGHT FOR THE PARKVIEW PANTHERS.

>> OKAY.

JON, ONE MORE COACH ON THE LINE.

SANDY CREEK HEAD COACH BRETT GARVIN UNDEFEATED ON THE SEASON, 8-0, AND 5-0 IN THE REGION PLAY, AND BIG WIN OVER CARVER TO MAINTAIN THE FIRST SPOT IN THE REGION 5-AAA AND COACH GARVIN, WHAT A WIN.

>> WELL, I WISH WE HAD WON, BUT WE LOST, 26- -- 36-29.

>> MY BAD.

>> I UNDERSTAND.

>> MY BAD, COACH.

WE HAVE A LOT OF SCORES TO KEEP UP WITH.

>> I UNDERSTAND.

>> AND THEY TOLD ME THAT YOU JUST -- >> AND IN CARVER, THEY DID A GREAT JOB.

WE MISSED A BUNCH OF TACKLES AND HAD SOME PENALTIES THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD, AND SO IT IS KIND OF SNOWBALLED ON US, AND CAME DOWN TO RIGHT AT THE END, AND THEY SCORED WITH MAYBE TWO TO THREE MINUTES TO GO AHEAD AND WE STOPPED THEM, AND THEY PUNTED IT TO US, AND WE FUMBLED IT RIGHT BACK TO THEM, AND THEY RAN THE CLOCK OUT, AND IT WAS A GREAT GAME, AND YOU KNOW, I WISH THAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY PLAYED BETTER THAN WE DID TONIGHT, AND SO THEY EARNED IT, AND HATS OFF TO THEM.

>> WELL, YOU HAVE ANOTHER BIG REGION GAME ON THE ROAD, AND WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THIS GAME?

>> WE HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE FOCUSED IN PRACTICE.

SOMETIMES WE BEGIN TO BELIEVE OUR OWN PRESS CLIPPINGS, AND THE COACHES, TOO.

BUT WE HAVE TO BE BACK TO FOCUSED OF DOING WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, AND WORKING ON THE BASICS, AND TACKLING, AND BLOCKING, AND DOING WHAT GOT TO US TO 7-0, AND THEN STRAYED AWAY FROM IT TONIGHT.

>> SO, WHAT IS THIS LOSS GOING TO DO FOR THE REGION, AND WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE FOR BOUNCING BACK.

>> ONE LOSS, AND CARTER HAS ONE IN CEDAR GROVE, AND WE HAVE THEM LEFT, AND IF WE BEAT THEM, IT IS THREE-WAY TIE, AND IT IS POINTS ALLOWED, AND 15 IS THE MAX.

SO CEDAR GROVE HAS 15 AGAINST CARVER, AND CARVER HAS 15 AGAINST US, SO THEORETICALLY, WE WOULD HAVE TO BEAT CEDAR GROVE BY MORE THAN 15 TO GET INTO THE MIX.

THEN IT IS GOING TO BE COMING DOWN TO THEM.

SO, I MEAN, THE SEASON IS NOT OVER BY A LONG SHOT.

WE HAVE STILL GOT TWO GAMES TO GO, AND WE CAN END THE SEASON AT WORST, YOU KNOW, 7-3.

8-2.

9-1.

AND GO INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT IS ANYBODY'S BALL GAME IN THE PLAYOFFS, AND EVERYBODY HAS TO PLAY.

>> AND REGION 5-AAA AND IN THE BLEND E AND THE NEXT TIME YOU CALL IN, IT IS WITH A WIN, COACH.

>> OKAY.

THAT IS THE PLAN.

>> THAT IS THE PLAN.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN, AND FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU, GUYS.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU, TOO.

>> JON, THAT REGION IS IN THE PLENDER.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN?

>> WELL, I THINK IT IS COMING DOWN TO THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON WITH THAT GAME WITH SANDY CREEK AND CEDAR GROVE AND THAT IS AT THE BATTLEFIELD IN TYRONE, AND THAT IS GOING TO BE -- WELL, HE TRIED TO GO THROUGH THE MATH, AND NOBODY SAID MATH ON THE SHOW, BUT LOOKING AT THE POINTS SCORED, IT IS 15-15-15, AND SO SOMEBODY IS GOING TO HAVE TO IN THE MATCHUPS AGAINST EACH OTHER, AND COME UP WITH THE BIG WIN TO FLIP THE MARGINS, SO IT IS GOING TO BE COMING DOWN TO THE GAME WEEK 10, AND CEDAR GROVE AND SANDY CREEK IS THE HEADLINERS IN THAT REGION, AND LOWNDE, IS CLINCHING REGION 7-1A TITLE AND BOTH TEAMS ARE 7-2, AND COLQUITT WITH THE TWO, AND NOW TIFT WITH THE TWO, AND CAMDEN FIGHTING FOR THE FOUR, AND THIS IS REGION 7-1A, AND A GREAT MOMENT IN THE COOK/EARLY COUNTY GAME.

I WANT TO GET IT SQUARED AWAY FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR CRAIG STORY.

FOR CRAIG, THERE WAS A PLAYER FOR EARLY COUNTY FIGHTING CANCER MOST OF THE SUMMER AND ALL SEASON LONG, AND HE WAS PUT IN THE GAME TONIGHT FOR THEIR EARLY COUNTY GAME AGAINST COOK.

HE GOT SOME PLAYING TIME AS A SENIOR, AND TYLER WYNN AND GREAT MOMENT TONIGHT FOR EARLY GOING UP AGAINST COOK.

>> THANK YOU, JON.

I WILL SEE YOU MONDAY FOR THE PODCAST.

>> PROMISE.

>> THANK YOU, JON.

A FEW QUICK MORE SCORES.

TRIPLE A-8.

AND REGION 3, IT IS BLAKELY DEFEEGT WASHINGTON, 28-23, AND IN REGION 5-AAA PUBLIC BEATING CHATTAHOOCHEE, AND THERE IT IS.

WE ARE TRYING TO THROW IN ALL OF THOSE REALLY REALLY QUICK, AND THANK YOU FOR HANGING WITH US TONIGHT.

LOTS OF COACHES AND TEAMS AND LOTS OF FIRST PLACES IN THE REGION ON THE LINE.

DON'T FORGET WE HAVE THE NEXT WEEK'S FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA GAME OF THE WEEK FOR THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, AND IN REGION 7-5A AND THIS IS CALHOUN VERSUS CARTERSVILLE, AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE YELLOW JACKETS VERSUS THE PURPLE HURRICANES RIGHT HERE ON GPB AND KICKOFF RIGHT AT 7:00.

AND HOPEFULLY YOU ARE HOME SAFE.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

THANK YOU FOR HANGING WITH US TONIGHT.

I'M HANNAH GOODIN, AND THIS IS IT FROM GPB.
