FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY , REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

WE WELCOME YOU TO WESTLAKE STADIUM , A BIG REGION 2 BATTLE, NUMBER THREE AND UNBEATEN CARROLLTON TROJANS HAVE COME TO TOWN TO TAKE ON THE WESTLAKE LIONS.

GOOD EVENING, I AM MATT STEWART, JOINED BY FORMER AUBURN TIGERS NFL FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK , I DON'T KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT ON THE LINE.

CARROLLTON COULD CLINCH THE 32nd ALL-TIME REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A VICTORY, AND A CAMPBELL LOSS AT PEBBLE BROOK, WESTLAKE WOULD CONTROL THE DESTINY WITH A VICTORY TONIGHT.

BUT LIKE YOU LIKE TO SAY, THE GAME WITHIN THE GAME, IT IS THE CARROLLTON HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE, LED BY HEAD COACH KAMERON THORNTON, JOEY KING, AND THE STOUT DEFENSE OF WESTLAKE LED BY MAURICO ZACKERY.

>> TAKING ON THAT AGGRESSIVE, MAN-TO-MAN SECONDARY.

>> YOU DID MENTION LEWIS, HE IS THAT FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK THAT EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT, THEY ARE 8-0 ON THE SEASON, AND THIS YOUNG MAN RIGHT HERE, JULIAN LEWIS, HE HAS 20 OFFERS.

HE IS A NAME YOU WILL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

DOWN THE FIELD, HE CAN GET RID OF THE BALL VERY QUICK, AND THE THING ABOUT IT IS, 30 TOUCHDOWNS ON THE SEASON AND ONLY FIVE INTERCEPTIONS.

>> GREAT WEAPON BEHIND THEM, IN RUNNING BACK BRYCE HICKS, HE HAS RUSHED FOR NEARLY 900 YARDS AND IS ALSO THE TOP PASS CATCHER.

>> BEST OVERALL FOOTBALL PLAYER ON THE TEAM.

HE IS STRONG , HE HAS 10 TOUCHDOWNS RUNNING, FIVE RECEIVING HE IS DANGEROUS BOTH WAYS.

>> ON THE OFFENSIVE IS OUT OF THE BALL, THE TROJANS INSIDE LINEBACKERS, BRODY, BY FAR AND AWAY THEIR BEST.

>> GREAT NAME , BRODIE BRADBURN, HE IS PHYSICAL, INSIDE ALONG WITH HIS BUDDY, SMITH, THEY ARE THE KEY THAT CARROLLTON BRINGS TO THE FIELD.

>> WESTLAKE HAS WON FOUR IN A ROW SINCE THEIR LOSS TO CEDAR GRIEVE NORTH, THERE QUARTERBACK, JOHNSON, NOW FOUR YEARS LATER, HE IS APPROACHING 8000 CAREER PASSING YARDS.

>> IT IS THE SAME RJ JOHNSON FROM YEARS BACK, HE HAS SEEN EVERYTHING OUT ON THE FIELD.

HE IS MAKING HIS WAY OUT IN THIS NEW OFFENSE, BUT HE CAN GET IT DONE, AND TONIGHT, WITH HIS LEGS SOMETHING HE HAS NOT DONE , HE MAY HAVE TO GET TO RUNNING TONIGHT.

>> HE HAS A GREAT RUNNING BACK WEAPON, NO OFFERS FOR JADEN THOMAS.

BUT HE HAS SINCE TICKED UP AN OFFER FROM MOREHOUSE.

>> HE IS ABOUT 220, SMALL, HE IS A PHYSICAL PLAYMAKER.

HE IS COUNTED ON TO CARRY THE LOAD.

>> ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL FOR THE LIONS, THE HIGHEST-RATED PROSPECT AND CLEMSON COMMIT , AVIEON TERRELL.

>> BIG PLAYS DOWN THE FIELD, THIS TEAM HAS BEEN FEASTING ON HIS ABILITY TO RETURN THE BALL IN SPECIAL TEAMS.

THEY MADE A BIG RETURN FROM HIM TONIGHT.

>> HE HAD ONE KICKOFF RETURN AND ONE PUNT RETURN.

YOU SEE THAT ON GPB, AGAINST CHRIS COUNTY.

IT SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE, WESTLAKE, CARROLLTON, WITH THE THIRD MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, JON NELSON, STANDING BY.

NELLY?

>> GOOD EVENING MATT, GOOD EVENING WAYNE, GOOD EVENING TO WHOEVER YOU ARE ACCESSING US.

THE GUY IN THE GREEN PULLOVER, NO STRANGER THERE, HE HAS HAD SUCCESS .

LET'S GO BACK TO HIS LAST DIGGS AND SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

A GUY NAMED TREVOR LAWRENCE, AND I BET YOU, THAT DOES NOT MATCH THE JERSEY NUMBER RIGHT NOW, NEITHER DID THE FLOW.

EASY THE NUMBERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC PASSERS IN THIS STATE, IF NOT KING, TREVOR LAWRENCE, A RECORD OF 53-3, ANNA SEMI-FINAL IN THEIR FIRST YEAR TOGETHER, BACK- TO-BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS WHEN LAWRENCE WAS A SENIOR THAT I ASKED , WHAT IS THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN JULIAN LEWIS AND TREVOR LAWRENCE, AS LEWIS MAY BE CHASING THOSE AS WELL.

HE SAID SPRING BALL, YOU REALLY GOT TO SEE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO, YOU HAVE REALLY SEEN HIM GROW.

AND YOU KIND OF EVEN FORGET SOMETIMES THAT HE IS ACTUALLY A FRESHMAN, AND THAT THE SIMILARITY IS THERE, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE HAIR, THIS IS ONE OF THE 23 REGIONS TONIGHT WHERE WE WILL BE WATCHING THE ONES AND TWOS, AND NOW, WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR WORLD, HANNAH GOODIN?

>> 24 UNBEATEN TEAMS LEFT AROUND THE STATE AND CARROLLTON IS ONE OF THEM.

SPEAKING OF LESIONS ON THE LINE, OUR WEB GAME IS ONE OF ONE, IT IS A REGIONAL MATCHUP BETWEEN DENMARK AND LAMBERT, IN SUWANEE.

YOU CAN WATCH IT ONLINE , AT GPB.ORG/SPORTS, OR DOWNLOAD THE GPB SPORTS APP.

STICK AROUND FOR THE POST GAME SHOW AS WE CHECK IN WITH THE COACHES AS THEY STEP OFF THE FIELD OR HEAD HOME ON THE BUS.

HICKS, AND ODOM, CALEB ODOM , AND THAT IS WIDE DOWN AT THE 46 YARD LINE BED >> NICE JOB BY JUJU LEWIS, HE IS GOING TO CONSISTENTLY, THROUGHOUT THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON, TEST THE DEFENSE.

A LITTLE POCKET PASS.

GETTING A COUPLE OF YARDS, TO KEEP THAT DEFENSE HONEST.

THEY NEED TO CRASH RIGHT DOWN ON BRYCE HICKS.

>> FIRST AND 10 FOR CARROLLTON, FROM THE WEST LAKE 46.

LEWIS, OFFERS FROM GEORGIA, ALABAMA, FLORIDA STATE, TEXAS A&M , FLORIDA AND GEORGIA TECH.

HE WOULD GO TO THE AIR.

OFF OF HICKS, HICKS IS GOING TO TAKE A BIG LOSS ON THE OTHER SIDE, THAT WAS CHRISTIAN PETERSON, THE THREE-STAR SAFETY, AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEFENSE BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS , JACKSON, FARMER, SMITH UPFRONT, ON THE SECOND LINE, YOU HAVE JOHNSON AND JAEVIS AMOS, IN THE SECONDARY, WASHINGTON, HEINZ , AND IT WELL, THE FOUR-STAR THAT WE JUST MENTIONED AGO.

YOU JUST KNOW, WHEN A GUY LIKE HIM GETS THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.

YOU KNOW, ON THE INTERCEPTION.

OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE PICK RECEIVER, CALEB ODOM, AND THEN JUST LOOK AT THOSE RETURNS .

THE BIG PLAY TO GET THAT BALL INTO THE END ZONE.

>> JUST LIKE HIS BIG BROTHER AJ, THE ATLANTA FALCONS STARTING QUARTERBACK, P.A.T.

IS UP AND GOOD.

AND WESTLAKE, TWO MINUTES INTO THE GAME TAKE A 7-0 LEAD.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE OPEN, HOW WILL THE YOUNG FRESHMAN HOLD UP AGAINST THIS SECONDARY?

THEY PLAY A LOT OF MAN-TO-MAN, YOU SOUGHT RIGHT HERE, THE BALL, JUST COMING OFF THE HAND OF HIS BIG TIGHT END, THE MAN ON THE SPOT RIGHT THERE IS AVIEON TERRELL.

WHAT A DYNAMIC PLAYER HE IS WITH THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.

>> AND WAYNE, WE HAVE SEEN AVIEON TERRELL PLAY MANY TIMES.

IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY BIG PLAYS HE CAN MAKE AND NOT BE A >> HE DOES NOT GET A LOT OF ACTION AT CORNER .

HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT YOU MARK DOWN AND IT IS HE GOING TO LIVE UP TO THE BILLING, WILL HE LIVE UP TO THE STARS ?

HE DOES.

>> PICK 6 FOR AVIEON TERRELL AND A 7-0 LEAD FOR WESTLAKE AS THEY GET READY TO GO BACK ON DEFENSE AGAIN.

AND KELVIN HILL, BACK ON THE RETURN AGAIN, AT THE 28th YARD LINE, BY THE BIG , DEFENSIVE N, JORDAN CARTER, PUTTING THAT BALL IN THE AIR.

>> THEY WANT TO PLAY MAN-TO- MAN, THEY HAVE TO GET THEM IN >> BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT, THE OFFICIAL PEST MANAGEMENT .

AND NOW, GETTING ABOUT NINE YARDS ON THE SCREEN PASS, THAT WAS JOHNSON, THE LINEBACKER MAKING THE TACKLE.

>> THEY ARE YOUNG IN A COUPLE OF AREAS.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE, BUT KIYUN COFER IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS YOU WANT TO GET THE BALL TOO.

HE HAS THAT ELUSIVENESS AND THAT SPEED THAT YOU WANT OUT OF THAT SLOT RECEIVER.

>> THE NUMBERS FOR KIYUN COFER, THIS IS HIS FOURTH GAME BACK, HE ROLLED HIS ANKLE IN THE OPENING SCRIMMAGE AND DID NOT COME BACK UNTIL ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO.

THAT IS A FIRST DOWN RUN BY HICKS.

>> ONE OF THOSE PHYSICAL BACKS, A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU SEE THAT KIND OF SIZE, YOU KNOW, ONLY ABOUT 155-170, HE HAS NO PROBLEM GETTING UP AND RUNNING UP THE MIDDLE.

>>'S OFFERS INCLUDE COASTAL CAROLINA, LIBERTY, BOWLING GREEN, AND EASTERN MICHIGAN.

THIS IS A FIRST DOWN PLAY AS THEY GET IT ACROSS THE 50 AGAIN, THE BALL GOES TO CALEB ODOM, HE IS A FOUR-STAR TIGHT END, RATED AS THE NUMBER FIVE JUNIOR TIGHT END.

>> 6'6", 210, RIGHT NOW, THEY USING MORE LIKE A RECEIVER THAN A TIGHT END.

BUT HE DOES HAVE GREAT RANGE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A GUY WHO IS 6'6".

>> A TREMENDOUS BASKETBALL PLAYER AS WELL WITH THE CARROLLTON BASKETBALL PROGRAM, JUST LIKE YOU MENTIONED, HE IS NOT AFRAID TO GET BETWEEN THE TACKLES, HE GETS THE BALL TO THE 40.

>> JUST TAKING WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES.

THE KIND OF PLACE IN THE SECOND HALF, WE TALKED ABOUT IT THERE.

ANOTHER 18 YARDS, RIGHT NOW, RUNNING DOWN THE HILL .

HE RAN FOR 140 IN THE PLAYOFF WIN AGAINST WESTLAKE LAST YEAR.

IT GOES TO CALEB ODOM, THEY TRY TO SET UP A SCREEN.

CALEB ODOM DOWN THE SIDELINE, TOUCHDOWN, CARROLLTON!

>> WATCHING THEM PLAY RIGHT THERE BY CALEB ODOM MADE ME THINK ABOUT A GUY WHO USED TO PLAY OVER AT GEORGIA STATE.

HE JUST UNFOLDS THAT BIG FRAME, RPO, HE GETS THE BALL OUT TO THE BIG TIGHT END.

AND THEN THAT STIFF ARM, SHOWING YOU THAT SPEED, THOSE LONG LEGS.

IT BARELY EVEN SEEMS LIKE HE IS RUNNING.

>> HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WITH THAT KIND OF HEIGHT , KIND OF LOOKS ALMOST LIKE HE IS NOT REALLY RUNNING.

BUT HE IS GAINING A LOT OF GROUND PER STRIDE.

WHAT A GREAT JOB OF GETTING THE BALL AND GETTING UPFIELD.

>> FREDDY PEREZ WILL TAKE OFF, HE WAS 8 FOR 8 IN THE WIN AGAINST PEBBLE BROOK .

AND THAT GOES TO THE END ZONE FOR A TOUCHBACK.

WHAT A GREAT WEAPON TO HAVE FOR CARROLLTON, ESPECIALLY WITH AVIEON TERRELL RETURNING KICKS.

AND HERE IS RJ JOHNSON, 7945 CAREER PASSING YARDS AND 68 PASSING TOUCHDOWNS, HE NEEDS 55 TO GET TO 8000 FOR HIS GREAT CAREER.

FIRST TIME THAT WESTLAKE HAS EVEN TOUCHED THE BALL ON OFFENSE.

IT IS GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

>> NICE JOB, GETTING RID OF THE BALL.

HE SEES THAT COMING AT HIM, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HE WAS JUST GETTING OUTSIDE THE POCKET, AND GETTING RID OF THE BALL.

>> THAT IS A VERY SMALL AND YOUNG TROJANS DEFENSIVE LINE.

>> WE TALKED TO COACH KING ABOUT IT, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BASICALLY THREE FRESHMEN AND THREE SOPHOMORES AND ONE SENIOR IN FARMER , THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING LIGHTS OUT, THEY HAVE A LOT OF TALENT.

THEY ARE LITTLE UNDERSIZED, BUT THEY ARE ALL WRAPPED UP.

>> STANDING DEEP FOR THE TROJANS, IT IS CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL STANDING TO KICK, FOR THE LIONS.

A HIT AT 43, IT MAY NOT MAKE IT TO THE 50, GREAT FIELD POSITION FOR THE TROJANS, GOING ON OFFENSE, THAT IS A GOOD KID BY CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL.

>> CARROLLTON, GOOD AT GETTING THEM THE BALL BACK ON THEIR SIDE OF THE FIELD.

>> FIRST AND 10, WITH THE BALL AT THE 49 YARD LINE, WITH 6:42 TO PLAY IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

>> EARLY ON, JUST TRYING TO ESTABLISH THE RUN WITH THE BIG'S.

YOU CAN SEE, COACH JOEY KING TRYING TO GET THE BALL OUT THERE, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE BALL OUT, AND LET ALL THE TALENT GO TO WORK.

>> GREAT PURSUED BY THAT DEFENSE , THE MAN AT SAFETY, THEIR LEADING TACKLER.

>> NICE JOB , KEEPING THAT OUTSIDE TO THE LEGS OF HICKS, ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT LIKES TO BREAK THAT SECONDARY FOR THAT TACKLE.

>> BALL AT THE 49.

LEWIS , A QUICK PLAY TO LIPSCOMB , THE ARKANSAS COMMIT, HE GETS ABOUT SEVEN ON THE PASS RECEPTION.

>> A LOT OF PLAYS OUT THERE FOR TAKARE LIPSCOMB.

THAT SECONDARY MATCHED UP MAN- TO-MAN, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO JUST GIVE RECEIVERS THE BALL.

WASHINGTON, NUMBER ONE.

>> ON THE SEASON, TAKARE LIPSCOMB, 27 CATCHES, SIX TOUCHDOWNS.

THE 81st RECEPTION OF HIS CAREER.

THIRD DOWN AND FOUR.

HE THREW IT BEHIND KIYUN COFER, IT WILL BE FOURTH DOWN, THEY HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 50, DO YOU PUNT OR GO FOR IT?

>> THEY ARE CHANGING THEIR THE FIELD.

AND CARROLLTON, THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE KEEPING THE OFFENSE OUT THERE, FOR THIRD, FOURTH, ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT THE QUARTERBACK HAS.

>> BALL AT THE 43.

THE GAME, 39.

TRYING TO PULL THEM OFFSIDES, THAT DID NOT WORK.

JOEY KING, HEAD COACH, INCREDIBLE 87 HEATHER 6, THAT IS A FIRST DOWN FOR HICKS.

DOWN TO THE 20, AND HICKS IS CORRALLED AT THE 15 YARD LINE BY AVIEON TERRELL.

THEY GOT IT ABOUT 30 ON THE PLAY.

>> COACH KING AND COACH ZACKERY, CAME UP , KEPT THE PLAY ON AND THEN SLIPS THE BALL RIGHT HERE FOR HICKS.

AND NOW, OUT IN THE OPEN FIELD IS HICKS WITH THAT BIG RUN.

>> THAT WILL PUT THEM CLOSE TO 900 YARDS ON THE SEASON.

THAT WAS A 35-YARD RUN BY HICKS.

FIRST AND GOAL TO GO FOR THE TROJANS, 49 YARDS ALREADY FOR HICKS TONIGHT.

HICKS, CUTTING BACK IN, TOUCHDOWN, TROJANS!

>> WHAT A RUN HERE BY BRYCE HICKS, THE JUNIOR .

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW BIG OF AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON YEARS, PROBABLY THEIR BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM.

HERE, JUST KEEPING HIS BALANCE, AND RUNNING TO GET INTO THE END ZONE, THIS IS ABOUT HIM BEING HARD TO BRING DOWN FOR HIS SIZE.

ANNIE GETS INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE BIG TOUCHDOWN.

>> JACOB RUSSELL, ON FOR THE P.A.T.. AND IT IS UP AND GOOD.

CARROLLTON, WITH THE 14-7 LEAD.

BRYCE HICKS TAKES IT IN FOR HIS 11th RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON.

AND HE GETS INTO THE END ZONE WITH THE 900 YARD RUN.

>> ANOTHER TOUCHBACK THERE BY KICKER FREDDY PEREZ.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEYS TO THE GAME.

>> WEST LAKE, THEY WANT TO GET THE PLAY ACTION PASS GOING, TO DO THAT, THEY HAVE GOT TO ESTABLISH THE RUN UP FRONT WITH THE BIG OFFENSIVE LINE AND THIS CARROLLTON DEFENSE, THEY ARE PLAYING AGAINST AN EXPERIENCED QUARTERBACK IN RJ JOHNSON, THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO MIX IT UP AND CHANGE UP THOSE FRONTS AND CONFUSE THEM A BIT IN THAT OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> AFTER THE CARROLLTON GOVERNOR'S LETTER AMID DRIVE, WESLEY GOES BACK DOWN ONE TOUCHDOWN.

JOHNSON, OVERTHROWS AT THE 29 YARD LINE, TRYING TO GET INTO THEIR TOP RECEIVER, JOAN.

>> ALWAYS HARD ON THE RIGHT HEADED BACK.

HE DID NOT SEEM COMFORTABLE GETTING THROUGH THAT, WITH RJ JOHNSON, THE RECEIVER, FOR THE SHOW , THE SHORT GANG.

>> PRESTON LAWSON, SIXTH SEASON OVERALL, 45-18, CAME BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME AFTER THREE SEASONS AS AN ASSISTANT COACH AT KENNESAW STATE.

PREVIOUSLY, AT CARROLLTON .

AND THOMAS GETS TRIPPED UP IN THE BACKFIELD, TAKES A LOSS.

THE PLAY GETS BLOWN UP BY MONTREZE SMITH, THE LINEBACKER.

>> MONTREZE SMITH GETS THAT TACKLE, WITH HIS BUDDY, BRODIE BRADBURN, GETTING IN THE HOLE, AND NOT GIVING JAI'DEN THOMAS ANY ROOM TO READ THAT PLAY.

THAT IS A NICE TACKLE THERE BY SMITH.

>> AT THE START OF THE DRIVE, WAS LIKE HAD ONLY FOUR RUSHING YARDS, GOING BACK NOW , THE BALL AT THE 18.

CARROLLTON WITH 78 HERE IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

THIRD DOWN AND 12.

MYLES BUTLER, THE OUTSIDE LINEBACKER, HE DROPS BACK INTO COVERAGE, THE PASS IS THROWN TO THE RUNNING BACK, AND BARNES FOR , OR BRANFORD, PARDON ME, THAT IS NO MORE.

>> A LOT OF OPEN SPACE.

>> THE DEFENSE IS RUNNING THROUGH THE BALL, ONLY ROTATING THE BALL OUT ON THE EDGE.

AND THEN THE DEFENSE, JUST SWARMING TO THE HOLE.

FINALLY BROUGHT DOWN THERE BY BRADBURN, NICE JOB.

THREE AND OUT, GIVING HIM THAT CHANCE ON THEIR SIDE OF THE FIELD, IS CARROLLTON.

>> CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL, ON THE PUNT FOR THE SECOND TIME, HIS FIRST KICK WENT ONLY 28 YARDS.

JOHNSON, STANDING DEEP FOR THE TROJANS.

CAMPBELL STANDS AT HIS 5.

AND LEWIS FROM THE 7.

IT GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 50, THEY WILL SPOT IT AT THE 48.

LET'S CHECK IN WITH JON NELSON.

>> ALL RIGHT, MATT, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR EXPERIENCE, THE OTHER GAME THAT YOU CAN CHECK DOWN ON GPB.ORG.

AND JUST A COUPLE OF YARDS ON THE PLAY, THE LINEBACKER, MAKING THAT TACKLE.

>> ONCE AGAIN, AT SMALL BACK.

THAT GOES TO THE OUTSIDE, YOU CAN SEE BRYCE HICKS, PLAYING MORE LIKE A FULLBACK.

HE IS THE WHOLE JAM.

THE SHOULDER UP, GET A COUPLE OF YARD.

>> SECOND DOWN AND ATE FROM THE 50.

HE HAS ALREADY HAD A BIG FIRST QUARTER FOR THEM, AND THE PLAY IS DEAD.

OUR FIRST PENALTY OF THE NIGHT.

UP THE TROJANS TO THE 45 YARD LINE.

>> THE DEFENSE SHIFTED ON THAT PLAY, GOT A LITTLE PANSY .

AND GETTING A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO REACH, AND SOMETIMES YOU GET THAT QUICKER STEP, AND MOTHER, GETTING FOR OFFSIDES.

>> THIS TIME, HE WOULD GET JAMMED UP AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, BUT THERE IS STILL GREAT STRENGTH IN HIS SMALL BODY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PICK UP A YARD WHEN HE GETS HIT AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, IMPRESSED WITH HIM, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

LAST YEAR, AGAINST WESTLAKE, 201 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE IN THAT QUARTERFINAL WIN, INCLUDING THE GAME-WINNING TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM 31 YARDS OUT WITH 41 SECONDS LEFT.

>> ONE OF THOSE GUYS IN THE LINEUP, HE KNOWS ALL OF THE SPOTS, AND WE DON'T TALK MUCH ABOUT HIM CATCHING THAT, GETTING INTO THE GAME WITH 39 RECEPTIONS.

>> WITH 380 YARDS, HE IS JUST A GREAT ALL AMOUNT LATER.

HE IS THE NUMBER 10 PRESSURE IN 7 A DID HE NOT TIED UP, HE IS LOOKING FOR A FLAG.

AND JACKSON, THE DEFENSIVE END, LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE HAD HIS HAND ON IT.

FOURTH DOWN >> NICE JOB OF JACKSON READING THE TACKLE HERE.

HE GOES UPFIELD, HE IS TOUGH ONCE HE SEES THAT.

AS A TACKLER, YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT YOU WANT TO GOT A GO UPFIELD.

NICE JOB, ONLY A SOPHOMORE, READING THAT, AND FOLLOWING THE RUNNING BACK AND >> ON THE PUNT FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THE VERY DANGEROUS AVIEON TERRELL STANDING BY FOR THE LIONS.

HE HAD A TOUCHDOWN AGAINST CRISP COUNTY.

WE HAVE MOVEMENT HERE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A FIVE-YARD PENALTY ON >> Referee: ENCROACHMENT ON THE DEFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

REPLAY FOURTH DOWN.

BERNARD JONES.

THEY TRIED NOW THE SAME THING.

HIGH-SNAP , AND NOW, DOWNFIELD PASS, IT IS CAUGHT BY A TAKARE LIPSCOMB AT THE 28 YARD LINE.

THE PUNTER, ALSO AN OUTSTANDING BASEBALL PLAYER FOR CARROLLTON , AND AN OUTSTANDING TASK TO TAKARE LIPSCOMB FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

>> DOWNFIELD, RIGHT THERE, NICE JOB BY THE PUNTER.

RIGHT THERE , LOOKING LIKE A QUARTERBACK ALL THE WAY.

AND IT TAKARE LIPSCOMB, CONCENTRATING, KNOWING THAT HE HAS THAT FIRST DOWN IF HE CAN CATCH THE BALL.

NICE JOB I HAVE.

>> THAT IS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE CONVERTED ON A BIG FOURTH DOWN TO KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE.

>> YOU GET THE SENSE THAT MAYBE COACH JOEY KING CAME IN HERE TO WIN THE REGION .

HE HAS EVERYTHING GOING RIGHT NOW, HE IS PLAYING LOOSE AND HE KNOWS THAT HIS TEAM CAN EXECUTE AT A HIGH LEVEL.

>> JOEY KING, LOOK AT HIS OVERALL RECORD, YOU DON'T SEE IT RIGHT THERE, BUT 87 ASSISTS , INCLUDING HIS FIRST FIVE SEASONS AT CARTERSVILLE.

ONLY SIX LOSSES IN HIS FIRST 93 GAMES AS A HIGH SCHOOL HEAD COACH, ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING, AND JUJU LEWIS, ACROSS THE MIDDLE, IT IS CAUGHT AT THE 15 YARD LINE.

>> NICE JOB HERE BY THE SENIOR, FINDING THAT OPEN GAP IN THE ZONE, SETTLE DOWN .

FOR THE PICKUP .

AND THIS OFFENSE IS SHOWING YOU WHY THEY HAVE PUT SO MANY POINTS ON THE BOARD, THEY HAVE TALENT IN THE RECEIVING FOUR.

AND THEY HAVE A GREAT RUNNING BACK IN THIS FRESHMAN.

>> LOOK AT THOSE TOTAL NUMBERS.

TROJANS HAVE IT INSIDE THE WESTLAKE 15 YARD LINE, THAT IS BRYCE HICKS.

HE CARRIES THE BALL DOWN TO THE 9.

>> NICE JOB WITH THE LEFT TACKLE.

BIG LEFT TACKLE, RJ SIZEMORE.

THE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT BRYCE HICKS, HE HITS HARD FOR THE SMALLER BACK.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HOLES, HE SPOTS THE HOLE AND GET THEM DOWNHILL.

>> THE OPENING OF THE SECOND QUARTER, THIS IS MATT STEWART, JON NELSON, WAYNE, AND HANNAH , SWARMING BACK IN THEIR BACKWARDS TO THE 5 YARD LINE, THE THING I LOVE ABOUT BRYCE HICKS, THE LEGS ARE HOLY, HE IS GOING FORWARD.

TOTALLY TURN AROUND AND RUNNING BACKWARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> GOOD PRESSURE THERE INITIALLY BY DEMARIUS HINES IN THE BACK TO YOU.

YOU ARE RIGHT, MATT, HE CAN BOUNCE OFF OF THE TACKLE AND START DRIVING TOWARD THE GOAL LINE ONCE AGAIN.

>> COACH JOEY KING, A LOWER- TOO POWER FIVE PROSPECT, THIRD DOWN AND ONE.

HICKS AGAIN, BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

HE DOES NOT PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.

THAT IS GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

>> NICE JOB OF GETTING IN THE BACKFIELD, NUMBER 24.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL, AND TAKING OUT HICKS.

>> 10th PLAY OF THE DRIVE COMING UP, THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT.

COACH KING, HE WILL STAY AGGRESSIVE.

HE IS SHOWING US SOME FOURTH DOWN PLAYS.

HE IS GOING TO TRY TO PICK UP THE FOURTH DOWN, IF NOT THE FIRST DOWN.

>> CARROLLTON IS 0 FOR 2 ON THIRD DOWN, BUT THEY ARE FACING FOURTH AND GOAL RIGHT HERE.

THEY ARE HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE PLAY CLOCK.

THAT IS THE HOLDUP RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THAT ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT.

THIS MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP THE TIME ON THE FIELD UNTIL THEY CAN GET THE CLOP SYNCED UP.

FOURTH AND GOAL.

THEY CAN ACTUALLY PICK UP A FIRST DOWN TOUCHDOWN, SECOND TOUCHDOWN RUN OF THE NIGHT FOR BRYCE HICKS, IT IS A 20-7 LEAD FOR CARROLLTON !

>> GOOD FORMATION MIGHT HEREBY CARROLLTON, YOU CAN SEE THE TWO BIG OFFENSIVE LINEMEN, TAKING OUT, WALKING IN FOR BRYCE HICKS.

BRYCE HICKS, SECOND RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE NIGHT, 13 CARRIES, 76 YARDS FOR HIM, AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE GOVERNORS RED RIBBON DRIVER SCORNING CAMPAIGN, SEVEN , AND ALL OF THAT DRIVE, WAYNE THAT IS BEEN A GREAT EXECUTION ON THAT FORMATION, THAT ON THE BACKFIELD, FARMER, AND LEVY, RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE MAKING IT LOOK EASY ON THESE FOURTH-DOWN CONVERSION.

>> WESTLAKE HAS NOT CONVERTED A FIRST DOWN YET.

THE KICK WILL SAIL INTO THE BACK OF THE END ZONE, AND NOW YOU CAN SEE WHAT A BIG WEAPON ON KICKOFFS PEREZ IS FOR THEM, HE IS 3 FOR 3 ON TOUCHBACK TONIGHT BUT HE TOTALLY NEUTRALIZES THE THREAT OF A AVIEON TERRELL.

>> DEFINITELY A WEAPON TO KEEP IT OUT OF HIS HANDS.

WHERE DOES THIS OFFENSE START, THEY NEED TO ESTABLISH THE RUN.

I THINK THAT IS THE THING, EVEN WHEN DOWN TWO TOUCHDOWNS, THEY NEED TO GET BACK AND RUN THE BALL.

>> I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED BY THAT SMALLISH AND YOUNG CARROLLTON BACK LINE, THEY HAVE REALLY DOMINATED THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND STOPPED THE LINE SO FAR.

PASS IS GOING TO GO TO THOMAS.

THOMAS, PICKS UP ABOUT FIVE YARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> NICE JOB BY BUTLER, RECOGNIZING THE AIR ROUTE, RUNNING BACK.

THOMAS, OUT IN SPACE.

GOOD JOB BY THE DEFENSIVE LINE.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT, MATT, YOUNG.

I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY BE PLAYING SO WELL, BUT THE DEFENSIVE LINE COACHES ARE DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THAT YOUNG GROUP.

>> I DON'T UNDER NO, THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING ON VARSITY.

AND THAT IS A QUARTERBACK SACK, BACK AT THE 13 YARD LINE.

NUMBER 97, IN ON THAT PLAY, THE 5'7" 193 SOPHOMORE DEFENSIVE LINEMEN.

>> NICE SPIN MOVE THEREBY FARMER, THE PRESSURE IS OFF THE EDGE, LEADING AT THE QUARTER.

ARGUING OVER WHO WILL GET THAT RIGHT THERE.

NICE JOB WITH THAT DEFENSIVE , 5'7", 195.

>> THAT IS THE DEFENSIVE LINE COACH FOR THIS CARROLLTON TEAM, JOHNSON, DOWNFIELD BROKEN UP AT THE 35 YARD LINE, GREAT PLAY BY THE QUARTERBACK, KELVIN HILL, IT WILL BE ANOTHER THREE AND OUT FOR THIS WEST LAKE OFFENSE.

>> NICE JOB, BREAKING ON THE BALL BY KELVIN HILL, IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE HE GOT THERE LITTLE BIT EARLY, BUT A NICE JOB BEING COMPETITIVE OUT IN THE OPEN FIELD.

ANNA WILLIAMS HERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT LEFT HAND, HE COMES OVER, HE KNOCKS THAT BALL OUT.

THE COACH RAVES ABOUT HIS PRODUCTION, HE SAID HE HAS THAT DOG MENTALITY THAT YOU NEED , IN KELVIN HILL.

>> EVERY TIME THEY TEXT HIM, ASKING HOW HIS GUYS DID, HE SAYS COME GET KELVIN HILL.

HE IS AN ABSOLUTE DOG.

HE WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY ON YOUR TEAM.

SO, PLAYING OUT OF HIS OWN END ZONE.

THAT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT'VE BEEN FLIPPED A LITTLE BIT.

IT IS GOING TO ROLL DEAD AT THE 47th YARD LINE.

ONCE AGAIN, CARROLLTON IS GOING TO START ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE 50, LET'S CHECK IN WITH NELLY.

THAT BALL WAS DEFLECTED AS IT WAS LEAVING THE PUNTER'S FOOT, THAT IS WHY YOU GOT THE WEIRDEST SPIN AND ROLL AFTER THAT, WE SPENT SOME TIME LISTENING TO THE WESTLAKE COACHES AND THE BOTTOM LINE FROM THEM WAS, TWICE, YOU HAVE NOT READ YOUR KEYS PROPERLY, YOU ARE NOT DOING HER JOB.

THAT IS WHY THEY CONVERTED ON THE FOURTH DOWN PLAYS, BASICALLY, THEY GOT INTO DEFENSIVE SPACE, WANTING THEM TO BUCKLE DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE TASK AT HAND .

DOWN TWO SCORES.

BACK TO YOU.

>> THEY COULD CLENCHED THEIR 37 ALL-TIME REGION TITLE WITH A WIN THIS EVENING.

AND HICKS GETS IT IN THE BACKFIELD ON ONE OF THE FEW TIMES HE WAS NOT ABLE TO BOUNCE OUT OF THE TACKLE, IT WAS JACKSON, NUMBER 44, WHO GOT THERE FIRST.

>> RIGHT THERE, YOU SAW THAT MAC SHACK , TRYING TO CREATE SOME PENETRATION TO STOP THIS RUN GAME.

BECAUSE CARROLLTON, THEY HAVE BEEN HITTING IN THE OFFENSE ON ALL CYLINDERS, SO FAR PLAYING AT A DIFFERENT TEMPO THAN THE WESTLAKE LIONS.

>> JUJU LEWIS, CHASE, LOOKING DOWNFIELD AS HE RUNS.

INTERCEPTED AT THE 43 YARD LINE HAD INTERCEPTED .

THE SECOND INTERCEPTION OF THE NIGHT FOR THE WEST LAKE DEFENSE, THERE IS A FLAG DOWN ON THE FIELD.

THAT WAS OLIVER WITH THE PICK AND WE WILL SEE IF IT STANDS.

>> RIGHT HERE, THERE IS PRESSURE.

JUST NOT ABLE.

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

>> HOW ABOUT THAT?

THE SECOND TIME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PICK OFF JUJU LEWIS, ONLY FIVE PICS IN THEIR FIRST EIGHT GAMES.

AND THE LIONS HAVE GOTTEN THEM TWICE HERE IN THE OPENING 17 MINUTES.

>> THAT IS A THOSE ARE THE WAYS THAT YOU EXPECT, AS THE SEASON GOES ON, AND NEXT YEAR, THAT JUJU LEWIS CANNOT THROW THAT PASS.

ALREADY UNDER PRESSURE, GOING BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

>> GLITZY OF WESTLAKE COULD GENERATE SOME OFFENSE, IT IS ANTWAN SMITH WITH THAT CATCH AND RUN TO THE 48 YARD LINE.

ZION WILLIAMS WITH THE BIG CATCH AND RUN, HE GOES FOR 15.

THAT IS THE FIRST FIRST DOWN FOR THE WEST LAKE OFFENSE TONIGHT BUT IT IS.

>> RIGHT THERE, JUST UNDERNEATH THAT RAP, AND IT SHOWS YOU HOW DYNAMIC HE IS WITH THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.

JUST GETTING SOME OFFENSE GOING.

RIGHT NOW, THEY SEEM TO BE IN SECOND GEAR.

AND CARROLLTON AND THE DEFENSE ARE IN HIGH GEAR BUT >> FIRST AND 10, FROM THE 40th, BACK IN THE ARTICLE, BROUGHT BY JONES.

THAT IS GOING TO BE A SECOND FIRST DOWN, HE GETS INSIDE THE PARTY, THAT OF THE 46, 16 YARDS TO GO.

>> JABARI JONES, HAVING A BIG SEASON.

YOU WANT TO GET HIM THE BALL NICE READ THERE BY JOHNSON, GOOD STRIKE TO JABARI JONES BUT YOU CAN SEE JONES A LITTLE HOBBLED AS HE TRIES TO GET UP.

>> JABARI JONES, THE SOPHOMORE WHO IS ALREADY A BIG TIME PROSPECT, HE HAS FOUR OFFERS INCLUDING PURDUE, MARYLAND, AND BOSTON COLLEGE.

>> HE IS THROWING THE BALL BUT HE IS NOW GRABBING HIS ABDOMEN.

MAYBE THAT TACKLE, I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN.

I WOULD NOT ADVISE IT.

>> AWFUL.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO BE OKAY.

THERE IS A LOOK AT THE GPB SPORTS RECRUITING PROFILE FOR JABARI JONES.

A LOT MORE OFFERS WILL BE COMING THAT MAN 'S WAY.

JOHNSON, WITH 34 YARDS PASSING HERE IN THIS FIRST HALF.

19 SHY OF 4000 FOR HIS CAREER.

YOU CAN SEE, THE LAST TWO PLAYS, 31 TOTAL YARDS, NEGATIVE SIX.

>> ENERGY, GETTING BACK , GETTING THE BALL OUT OF THE TENT, THAT IS A NICE JOB BY HIS RECEIVERS, FINDING THAT OPEN AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, JUST GETTING HIM THE BALL.

>> FIRST ANTENNA FROM THE 36.

AND IN THEIR ON OFFENSE, AVIEON TERRELL.

LIONS AT THE 40.

THE HANDOFF GOES, THOMAS, ANOTHER FIRST DOWN AND MORE.

DOWN TO THE 21.

THOMAS , BIG RUN, ANN CARTER, THE DEFENSIVE LINEMEN MAKING THE TACKLE.

>> BEAUTIFUL CUT BY THOMAS OUT IN THE OPEN FIELD, AS YOU SAY , DRAWING ATTENTION RIGHT THERE, THE SUITE FEED OF JAI'DEN MAKE A PLAY RIGHT THERE.

>> 1100 RUSHING YARDS ONE YEAR AGO AS A JUNIOR.

FIRST AND 10, THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN THIS LEFT LEG OFFENSE CLICK.

IN THE POCKET, DELIVERS DOWNFIELD, INTERCEPTED INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE.

INTERCEPTED BY THE TROJANS.

THAT IS MYLES BUTLER WHO COMES AWAY WITH IT.

>> NICE JOB BY JAI'DEN THOMAS, GETTING THE BALL OUT.

AND NOW, BUTLER, COMING UP WITH THAT INTERCEPTION .

YOU CAN SEE NUMBER 5 , NOT CONNECTING.

TURNING AROUND, THE BALL IS IN THE AIR.

NICE JOB AGAIN.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS GETTING SOME YARDAGE AT THE END.

>> HE GOT 21 YARDS ON THE BACK THE OTHER WAY.

THAT WAS INTENDED FOR JABARI JONES, AND THE DRIVE FOR WESTLAKE, INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE WITH A PICK.

AND NOW CARROLLTON TAKES OVER.

LEWIS, TAKES TO THE AIR, HE IS NOT DOWN BY AVIEON TERRELL.

GOOD LUCK GOING AGAINST THAT GUY.

INTENDED FOR CALEB ODOM.

>> UP TO THE CHALLENGE, 6'6".

LOOK, CALEB ODOM, JUST ONE OF THOSE PLAYS BY THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST TALK ABOUT AVIEON TERRELL, THERE IS NONE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT ADVANTAGE.

>> YOU TALK ABOUT ALL THAT BODY LANGUAGE.

>> YEAH.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 10.

HE IS RUSHED LIVING IT UP IN THE AIR, IT WILL GO OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE PLAYS AGO, THIS TIME MAKING SURE THAT HE HAS THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS.

ONCE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE GETTING DOWNFIELD, GET RID OF THE BALL.

>> JUST UNDER 5:30 TO PLAY IN THE FIRST HAPPENED THE SITUATION CARROLLTON, WIN TONIGHT.

IF CAMPBELL LOSES TO PEBBLE BROOK , THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THEM THROUGH CONTENTION, AND THEN CARROLLTON COULD CLINCH THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, THEY HAVE NOT CONVERTED ON THIRD DOWN, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT ON FOURTH DOWNS, AND GOING ON TOP, HE GOES WAY OUT OF BOUNDS, AND THAT WILL BE FOURTH DOWN.

SO, JUJU LEWIS, SCATTERSHOT RIGHT THERE ON THAT POSSESSION, THREE INCOMPLETIONS , THEY WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO WESTLAKE.

>> THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE, GETTING RID OF THE BALL.

YOU CAN SEE, TAKARE LIPSCOMB, HE HAD A STEP ON WASHINGTON, THE CORNER, BUT JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR JUJU LEWIS TO FIND IT.

>> ANDREW ALBERTUS, WHO THROUGH A FIRST DOWN PASS ON HIS ONLY PUNT ATTEMPT, HE STANDS AT THE 16 YARD LINE TO TICKET AWAY.

A RUGBY-STYLE TAKE .

THEY TAKE IT AWAY, IT TAKES A ROLL FOR THE TROJANS , AND THAT IS WHERE WEST LAKE WOULD GO ON OFFENSE, TRAILING BY TWO TOUCHDOWNS HERE IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA ON GPB, BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY DBHDD AND THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.

>> WELCOME BACK TO LIONS FIELD.

5:11 AND COUNTING, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE.

WHEN IT COMES TO LAMBERT AND DENMARK, THIS ONE HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH.

LAMBERT, FIELD GOAL TO MAKE IT 14-10 BED NOW IT IS 16-14, THEY MISSED THE P.A.T..

THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE A BARN BURNER, JUST AS MUCH IS WHAT WE HAVE AT LIONS FIELD.

1614 , BROUGHT TO YOU BY GREAT EVENTS MANAGEMENT, BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT, THE OFFICIAL PEST MANAGEMENT OF WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL.

>> THANK YOU, NELLY.

FIRST AND 10, AS THE LIONS TAKEOVER AT THE 31 YARD LINE.

>> MOST OF THE GAINS WERE ON THE PREVIOUS , WITH THE INTERCEPTION.

AND JAI'DEN THOMAS, ON THE RUN.

>> THAT ESTABLISHED RUN, THEY NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO WORK THAT PLAY ACTION WITH JOHNSON .

THEY SHOWED SOME LIFE IN THAT LAST DRIVE.

THERE WAS THAT INTERCEPTION AT THE END, THROWING THE BALL UNDERNEATH.

>> SECOND DOWN AND THREE.

THOMAS , AGAIN, STOPPED SHORT OF THE LINE OF GAIN.

RATE , AGGRESSIVE TACKLING THERE BY MONTREZE SMITH.

THE JUNIOR , INSIDE LINEBACKER.

THIRD AND ONE BED >> THESE TWO LINEBACKERS WORK GREAT IN COMBINATION.

SUCH AS BRODIE BRADBURN, COACH KING SAID THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS DEFENSE SO STELLAR.

>> NOW, THE KICK OUTSIDE, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET THE FIRST DOWN.

AGAIN, GREAT PURSUIT I THINK IT WHO GOT TO THEM FIRST.

>> GREAT TECHNIQUE, GETTING OUTSIDE, AND GETTING THE BALL IN , TO THE INSIDE.

FOURTH AND ONE?

>> I THINK THEY GAINED THE FIRST DOWN.

WOW.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SHORT.

>> DEFINITELY PRESSURE IN THE BACKFIELD THERE.

>> MAYBE WITHOUT SECOND EFFORT, ABLE TO LEAN ACROSS THAT 40 YARD LINE, THEY GAVE THEM THE FIRST DOWN, FIRST AND 10, HEAVY PRESSURE COMING, AND NOW, RUMBLING DOWN THE FIELD, TO THE 41.

LOOK WHO WAS OPEN .

JUST STANDING THERE BY HIMSELF.

>> MAKING SURE HE SHOWED HIM NUMBERS.

A LITTLE ROLLOUT TO THE RIGHT, FEELS THE PRESSURE, THEN LOOKS BACK.

NICE JOB BY NEVER FORGOT WHAT HIS TIGHT END WAS, DELIVERING THE BALL.

>> GREAT JOB OF GOING THROUGH THE CORRECTION TO PICK UP THE 19-YARD PICKUP.

JOHNSON CANNOT, HE PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN AND MORE DOWN TO THE 24.

YOU PROVIDE THAT, WE KNOW THAT HE CAN.

THAT IS A GREAT PICKUP RIGHT THERE.

>> TRYING TO PROTECT HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE THIS SEASON BY NOT RUNNING HIM, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE HAS WHEN HE DECIDES TO LEAVE THE POCKET AND RUN THE BALL.

THESE BIG PICKUPS ARE WHAT THEY NEED .

>> THAT WAS A 17-YARD PICKUP.

GIVING THEM SOMETHING TO PICK UP ABOUT.

THE FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 24.

UNDER THREE MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE FIRST HALF.

AND JAI'DEN THOMAS, STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, DOWN TO THE 20 YARD LINE.

JAI'DEN THOMAS.

AGAIN, WESTLAKE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF LOOSENING UP THE OFFENSE.

THEY WERE LITTLE BIT TIGHT EARLY ON, BUT THEY HAVE IT GOING NOW.

>> THOMAS, FEED ME THE BALL.

GIVE ME MORE TOUCHES.

>> SECOND DOWN AND SIX.

FUMBLE !

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN RECOVERED BY CARROLLTON.

THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE GOT IT, BUT NO SIGN FROM THE OFFICIALS JUST YET.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE CARROLLTON HAS THE BALL .

ANOTHER TURNOVER BY WEST LAKE , IN THE RED ZONE, GIVES THE BALL TO WESTLAKE.

>> FARMER, JUST KNOCKING THAT BALL OUT, DEEP PENETRATION AND ALMOST TAKING THE HANDOFF FROM RJ JOHNSON, BEFORE JAI'DEN THOMAS EVEN GETS THE BALL OUT CAN SEE NUMBER 45, SWIPING THE BALL OUT, JUST TOO MUCH PENETRATION UPFRONT.

>> LET'S CHECK IN WITH HANNAH GOODIN AND WHAT IS COMING UP AT HALFTIME.

>> COMING UP ON THE REGIONS BANK HALFTIME SHOW, ONE TEAM IS REACHING THE AAA MAGIC AT THE BATTLEFIELD, SANDY CREEK IS LEADING CEDAR GROVE IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

WE HAVE A LOT MORE TO COME IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, DIES.

>> BACK TO LIVE-ACTION, QUICK RUN BY THE TROJANS AND BRYCE HICKS.

AND WEST LAKE, THEY ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY, THEY COULD'VE BEEN TIED UP, BUT NOW, THEY PICK UP THE INTERCEPTION, AND THEN THE FUMBLE.

>> SECOND DOWN AND THREE, APPROACHING 90 SECONDS LEFT IN THE FIRST HALF.

AT THE 25 YARD LINE!

THE NOSE TACKLE, THE INTERSECTION AND IT JUJU LEWIS HAS BEEN PICKED UP THREE TIMES IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> EYES, DROPPING OFF OF THE RUSH.

HE SEES THE SCREEN.

OUT IN THE FLAT, NICE JOB BREAKING OFF AND RUNNING TO THAT NOSE TACKLE AREA.

TO COME UP WITH THAT INTERCEPTION.

JUJU LEWIS, JUST LOOKING DOWN THE SCREEN, THE WHOLE WAY, TOO MUCH AIR IN THE BALL.

JUST NOT LEADING THE RUNNING BACK OUT IN THE OPEN.

AT A NICE TURNOVER, A BIG TURNOVER FOR WESTLAKE TO TRY TO GET SOME POINTS BEFORE THE HALF.

>> STRUGGLING HERE TONIGHT, THE YOUNG FRESHMAN, ONLY FIVE PICS IN EIGHT GAMES.

WEST LAKE, CAN THEY CONVERT OFF OF THOSE AND GET BACK IN THE GAME?

THEY TAKE OVER AT THE 26 YARD FIRING OUT , COMPLETE TO THOMAS.

PICKS UP A FIRST DOWN, GETS OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> WE TALK ABOUT HICKS AND THOMAS.

SIMILAR , THEY RUNNING BACKS SEEM TO BE HARD TO BRING DOWN.

NEED TO GET THE BALL OUT, JUST A LITTLE FLAIR ROUTE, AND JOHNSON, DELIVERING THE BALL, THIS IS ALL ABOUT THOMAS, HE IS ONLY 185, BUT HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO REFUSES TO GO DOWN ON THE INITIAL TACKLE.

>> WITH THAT 15-YARD COMPLETION, RJ JOHNSON GOES OVER 8000 FOR HIS CAREER.

LOOKING AT 8013, HE HAS 68 TONIGHT.

FIRST AND 10, THE BALL, AT THE 11.

LOOKS THE OTHER WAY.

AND NOW, DIRECTING TRAFFIC.

STILL WANTS TO THROW, OUT OF BOUNDS, INCOMPLETE.

>> GOOD JOB BY THE SECONDARY, STAYING BACK RIGHT THERE, NOT COMING UP, THE COVERAGE , NOWHERE TO GO WITH THE BALL.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE HE COULD HAVE RUN, IT LOOKS LIKE HE COULD HAVE TAKEN OFF AND RUN THERE.

>> RIGHT THERE, YOU JUST WANT TO THROW AND GET WHAT YOU CAN.

BIG WATER BACK.

GO UPFIELD.

ONLY ONE MAN OUT THERE, TRY TO BRING YOU DOWN.

>> 6 TO 11, 67 YARDS, ONE INTERCEPTION OVER 8000 NOW FOR HIS CAREER.

SECOND DOWN AND 10.

THEY PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN INSIDE THE 2.

JOHNSON, THROWING, AND OVERSHOOTS HIS TARGET AT THE 5 YARD LINE, THAT WAS JABARI JONES.

THE SECOND TIME THAT JONES COMES UP HOBBLED AT THE END OF THE PLAY.

>> NICE JOB I THAT OUTSIDE LINEBACKER.

THAT IS TIGHT COVERAGE.

GOES HIGH WITH THE THROW, THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A HARD ROAD TO GET THAT BALL IN.

THROWING THAT HIGH BALL, GOING LEFT, WE SAW THAT EARLY IN THE QUARTER, BALL, COMING OUT A LITTLE HIGH.

HE HAD TO BRING THAT DOWN, AND GET RECEIVER IN NUMBERS.

>> THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ISSUE WITH HIS RIGHT LEG.

IT WOULD BE THIRD DOWN AND 10 BUT HOPEFULLY IT IS NOTHING SERIOUS.

IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE JUST A CRAMP.

THAT IS GREAT NEWS, IF THAT IS ALL IT IS.

BUT, THIRD AND 10 COMING UP, AND WEST LAKE NEEDS TO TRY TO PUNCH IT IN THE END ZONE, THEY HAVE HAD GREAT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THEY COULD REALISTICALLY BE TIED UP RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY ARE NOT.

>> BOTH TEAMS, TURNING THE BALL OVER, BOTH THROWING >> THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP SCENARIO FOR WESTLAKE, IF THEY WIN TONIGHT, THERE IS NO SCENARIO TO CLINCH TONIGHT, BUT THEY DO HAVE TWO GAMES REMAINING AFTER THAT, THEY WOULD CONTROL THEIR DESTINY.

IF THEY WIN, THEY WOULD BE THE REGIONS CHAMPIONS, THEY HAD SEVEN FIRST DOWNS ON THEIR LAST THREE POSSESSIONS, NOW THEY HAVE A BIG THIRD AND 10 RIGHT HERE WITH A MINUTE AND SIX SECONDS LEFT IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> RJ JOHNSON, RUNNING THE BALL , EVEN ON THE ROLLOUT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, YET SOME SPACE, AND HE JUST DECIDED TO KEEP THE BALL AND THROW IT.

>> YOU HAVE GOT TO MAKE SURE, EVEN IN COVERAGE.

>> SOMETIMES THESE QUARTERBACKS, THEY DON'T WANT TO RUN .

THEY WANT TO BE A QUARTERBACK.

NOW, THROWING, COMPLETE, INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE, AND IT IS DOWN TO THE 2.

THEY DO NOT PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN THOUGH.

IT IS DECISION TIME NOW FOR WESTLAKE.

>> FIRST MAN ON THE SCENE THERE, TRYING TO BRING THE RECEIVER DOWN.

THERE WAS TIME THEREBY JOHNSON, GOING INSIDE, NICE JOB AT THE SECONDARY, COMING UP, MAKING THAT PLAY.

>> TIME-OUT IS CALLED BY WESTLAKE.

THEY ARE FACING A FOURTH DOWN.

ABOUT TWO, IT MIGHT BE JUST ONE.

THAT IS ENOUGH TO GET THE FIRST DOWN, THEY NEEDED THREE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

SO, THEY HAVE NOT TRIED ON A FOURTH DOWN SO FAR TONIGHT.

BUT I AM BETTING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT RIGHT HERE AND NOT BRING OUT THE FIELD GOAL UNIT.

HIS MIND, THAT HE WOULD GO FOR IT, ANYWHERE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF THE END ZONE.

YOU NEED TO GET YOUR TEAM BACK IN THE GAME, YES, THE INTERCEPTION IS THERE LATE, FROM JUJU LEWIS, BUT, OFFENSIVELY, CARROLLTON HAS DOMINATED YOU, YOU NEED POINTS BEFORE THE HALF.

>> TRAVIS SMITH, THE INTERCEPTION, HE IS A SOPHOMORE, WIDE RECEIVER, 6'3", 180, HE HAS OFFERS FROM UTAH, BOSTON COLLEGE, AND DO THEY ARE VERY YOUNG, BUT THEY ARE VERY TALENTED IN THEIR WIDE RECEIVER CORE.

>> BIG BODY BETTER, 6'3", 180, ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

THESE ARE YOUNG TEAMS.

>> FOURTH DOWN AND TWO, TWO FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

34 THE TOUCHDOWN.

I THINK THAT CARROLLTON WILL CALL A TIME-OUT.

THIS IS KIND OF LIKE IN BASKETBALL, ISN'T IT?

WESTLAKE CALLS A TIME-OUT, THEY CANNOT, THE INBOUND THE BALL, CARROLLTON SEES HOW THEY SET UP ON OFFENSE, NOW WE ARE GOING TO CALL A TIME-OUT.

>> THAT IS MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

THOSE 50/50 GUYS, YOU MIGHT JUST WANT TO GET THEM UP THERE, GET MAN-TO-THEN, AND TRY TO THROW THAT PHASE ROUTE .

>> YOU TRY TO RUN IT FROM HERE?

WITH JAI'DEN THOMAS?

>> NO, I WILL TRY TO GET RJ JOHNSON ON THE MOVE.

WE HAD SEEN HIM, HE HAS THE ABILITY TO MOVE, AND HE CAN JUMP INTO THE END ZONE.

HE IS 602, 200 POUNDS, HE CAN GET UP AND GET HIS SHOULDERS SQUARE, AND HE CAN GET INTO THE END ZONE VERY EASILY.

LET HIM GET SOMETHING ON THE MOVE REALLY CAN MAKE A RUN.

>> DO NOT HESITATE.

IF YOU SEE AN OPENING, TAKE IT YOURSELF.

HERE IS WHAT THEY DECIDE TO DO WITH 51 SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF, WESTLAKE HAS BEEN DOWN HERE TWICE AND FAILED TO SCORE IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THEY DESPERATELY NEED TO PUNCH IT IN RIGHT HERE.

JAI'DEN THOMAS, FACING THIS CARROLLTON DEFENSE.

FOURTH DOWN AGAIN.

THOMAS GETS THE HANDOFF, AND HE WILL PULL HIS WEIGHT INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

ANOTHER TACKLE, AND A BIG TOUCHDOWN MOVE RIGHT THERE BY JAI'DEN THOMAS TO GET WESTLAKE BACK INTO THE GAME.

>> LEFT GUARD , LEFT TACKLE.

YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE, RJ JOHNSON HAVE BOTH, HE HAD THE ABILITY TO HAND THE BALL OFF TO THOMAS.

HE HAD THE EDGE RIGHT THERE.

THE CLEAN EDGE ON DEFENSE.

NICE BLOCKING ON THAT LEFT SIDE.

>> HOW ABOUT THESE TEAMS CONVERTING ON FOURTH DOWN TONIGHT?

THESE TWO TEAMS COMBINED ARE 4 FOR 4 ON FOURTH DOWNS IN THE FIRST HALF.

AND, THESE COACHES, THEY ARE JUST ROLLING THE DICE TONIGHT.

THE TIME-OUT IS CALLED BY WESTLAKE, THAT LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE, WAYNE, MAYBE THEY WILL TRY FOR 2 RIGHT HERE?

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBERS DO NOT SAY TO DO THAT.

BUT THEY DID CALL THE TIME-OUT.

>> WE TALKED TO BOTH HEAD COACHES, YOU GOT THE FEEL THAT THEY WERE PLAYING EACH OTHER AS WELL.

IT WAS NOT JUST THE TWO TEAMS, ONE IS AN OFFENSIVE MIND, ONE IS OF A DEFENSIVE MIND.

THEY NEEDED TO COME AND IT IS MAKING BIG PLAYS ON FOURTH DOWN.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE RISKS.

I AM NOT REALLY SURE, AS YOU GOING FOR 2 OTHER THAN THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE ON KICKING IT IN ON THE P.A.T.

>> THE RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN SCORING DRIVE, 26 YARDS.

AND THEY WERE LINED UP FOR THE SINGLE POINT.

HIGH SNAP, THEY STILL GET IT DOWN.

BUT IT IS GOING TO BE NO GOOD.

BAD SNAP THAT REALLY THREW OFF THE TIMING.

MAYBE THEY REALLY SHOULD'VE GONE FOR TWO, BECAUSE IT IS 21- 13.

>> THAT TICKER HAD TO STOP, AND DRILLING DOWN, THE KICKER, WITH HIS FOOT.

YOU CAN SEE THAT IT WAS A BAD SNAP.

THE HOLDER HAD TO STAND UP , CATCHING THE BALL.

NICE JOB EVEN GETTING THE BALL TO BE AVRIL , ABLE TO PLACE IT.

THAT IS JUST ALL ON THE SNAP.

>> 21 -13, AS WESTLAKE GETS THE ADDITIONAL POINT WESTLAKE , BACK IN THE GAME NOW AFTER THE BIG FIRST QUARTER BY CARROLLTON, JUMP OUT TO THE TWO- TOUCHDOWN LEAD EARLY IN THE SECOND.

>> ALL OF THAT WAS STARTED BY THE DEFENSIVE NOSE TACKLE, GIVING HIS TEAM A CHANCE.

>> TIM MULLINS, AMONG THE RECEIVERS BACK DEEP.

NOW, THAT IS A WILD BOUNCE.

IT IS BILLED AT THE 22 YARD LINE BY HICKS.

AND HICKS WILL STEP OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 40 WITH 37 SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF.

AND CARROLLTON DOES HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS REMAINING.

>> THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF SHOTS, YOU HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS, YOU HAVE SOME BIG PLAY RECEIVERS, YOU HAVE A BIG TARGET IN CALEB ODOM.

IT IS HICKS, WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN FOR HIS TEAM, TRYING TO GET OUT ON THE EDGE, PROTECT YOURSELF, WHEN THERE IS NOTHING EVEN THERE.

>> THE BALL IS AT 40.

THEY PROBABLY NEED ABOUT 30 YARDS TO GET WITHIN FIELD GOAL RANGE FOR FREDDY PEREZ, AND HE KICKED THAT FIELD GOAL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

FIRST AND 10, THEY ARE LINED UP AND AND THE BALL, IT IS BROKEN UP AT THE 27 YARD LINE DID THAT , ACTUALLY, THAT WAS CHRISTIAN PETERSON, NUMBER FIVE, BACK THERE ON THE COVERAGE.

>> RIGHT THERE, PETERSON, ONE OF THOSE GUYS AND RIGHT AT THAT >> PETERSON, RANKED THE NUMBER 22 JUNIOR SAFETY IN THE COUNTRY BY THE RECRUITING SERVICE, THE PASS IS COMPLETE OUT OF BOUNDS GOES KIYUN COFER, THEY WILL KEEP THE CLOCK MOVING AND STAY WITH FORWARD MOTION, THAT IS QUITE THE SURPRISING CALL RIGHT THERE.

AND IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLOCK IS STILL RUNNING.

INTERESTING CALL.

CARROLLTON WILL HAVE TO BURN A TIME-OUT RIGHT THERE JUST TO STOP THE CLOCK.

THE MAC 17 SECONDS, ONE TIME- OUT, YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING THE BALL DOWNFIELD.

YOU NEED CALEB ODOM, LET YOU WORK ANYWHERE ON THE FIELD.

YOU ONLY NEED ABOUT FIVE YARDS TO SET UP A GOOD FIELD GOAL DRIVE.

>> IT JUST CLEARLY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS FORWARD PROGRESS, OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT THEY KEPT THE CLOCK CARROLLTON WILL HAVE TO BURN A TIME-OUT RIGHT HERE.

LEWIS, JUST 1 FOR 7 WITH 70 YARDS IN THE SECOND QUARTER, IT HAS BEEN A VERY ROUGH NIGHT SO FAR FOR THE FRESHMAN STAR DID THEY WOULD BE AT CLEMSON TOMORROW FOR THE SYRACUSE GAME, ANOTHER UNOFFICIAL VISIT.

TOOK AN UNOFFICIAL VISIT TO TEXAS TO WATCH THE LONGHORNS BEAT WEST VIRGINIA.

HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT PLAY.

THE FORWARD MOTION STOPS.

I DON'T THINK SO.

BUT THE OFFICIAL , RIGHT THERE, ON THE 5, SAID IT DID.

SO, THIRD DOWN AND THREE.

HEAVY RUSH, UP THE MIDDLE, JUJU LEWIS, FORCED OUT OF THE POCKET.

ON THE RUN, AND INCOMPLETE AT THE 49 YARD LINE.

INCOMPLETE, TRYING TO GO TO TAKARE LIPSCOMB RIGHT THERE.

IT IS BROKEN UP .

>> GREAT PRESSURE FROM THE WESTLAKE DEFENSE.

COMING UP ON THE COVERAGE, MOSBY.

>> HE CAME INTO THE GAME, PLAYING A GOOD SEASON, WITH NUMBERS IN THERE, HANGING IN THERE AGAINST SUCH PRESSURE DEFENSE, DEDICATED TO PLAYING MAN-TO-MAN.

THEY CAN MAKE PLAYS.

>> SO, FOURTH DOWN AND THREE, AND CARROLLTON WILL HAVE TO PUNT IT AWAY.

THEY HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB SO FAR OF KEEPING IT AWAY FROM AVIEON TERRELL.

DOWNFIELD, AGAIN IT IS AWAY FROM AVIEON TERRELL.

AND IT WILL ROLL DEAD FINALLY AT THE 10 YARD LINE.

AS THE CLOCK EXPIRES.

AND IT IS ANDREW ALBERTUS, AT THE END OF THE HALF .

WITH THE TEAMS HEADED TO THE LOCKER ROOM, CARROLLTON IS UP 21-13.

WAYNE, YOU GET THE SENSE THAT IT WAS CARROLLTON IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND WESTLAKE IN THE SECOND.

>> BOTH TEAMS TOOK WEIRD TURNS TURNING THE BALL OVER AT BAD TIMES, THIS DEFENSE OF CARROLLTON, HAVING A BUNCH OF THREE AND OUTS EARLY.

BUT WESTLAKE, HANGING AROUND ENOUGH TO WHERE THE DEFENSE COULD MAKE SOME PLAYS, AND THEY GOT SOME OF THOSE SHORT SEALS.

THAT SET UP AN EXCITING SECOND HALF.

>> EIGHT -POINT LEAD FOR THE TROJANS.

UNDEFEATED.

WESTLAKE, 502, WRITING A FOUR -GAME WINNING STREAK, AS THE TEAMS HEAD DOWN TO THE LOCKER ROOM, JON NELSON, CRACKING DOWN COACH JOEY KING BEFORE HE GETS TO THE LOCKER ROOM, SO THAT WE CAN HEAR FROM HIM.

>> LET'S START WITH THE POSITIVES.

LIGHTNING QUICK, BACK TO 14-7, YOU HAD THAT 14 HEAVEN POINT LEAD AT 21-7, BUT WAS WORKING GOOD IN THAT FIRST HALF?

>> WE HAD A COUPLE OF THROWS THAT ARE IN THE FIRST HALF THERE A COUPLE A BIT, WE HAD TO REGATHER THE COMPOSURE.

JUJU LEWIS, YOU ICING MISTAKES, USING PROFESSOR, WHAT THINGS WOULD YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS?

>> WE HAVE TO GET THOSE THINGS CLEANED UP, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF OUR OWN WAY, SOMETIMES IT CAUSES PROBLEMS TO HAPPEN.

I THINK WE ARE DOING THE SAME THING, BUT WE HAVE A GOOD FOOTBALL GAME ON OUR HANDS.

>> THE HEAD COACH OF THE CARROLLTON TROJANS, WE WILL HAVE IT BACK TO YOU, THIS IS GPB.

THE HALF-TIME SHOW STARTS I THINK THAT ABOUT NOW.

THE MAC THANKS, JON NELSON.

COMING UP ON THE REGIONS HALF- TIME SHOW, WE WERE HERE ABOUT WHY HE CHOSE FLORIDA OVER ALABAMA, AND WE WILL UPDATE YOU ON THE GAMES HAPPENING AROUND THE STATE, AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT OUR TIKTOK CHALLENGE WINNER, IT IS ALL COMING UP HERE, NEXT.

>> HEALTH-RELATED STRESSORS ARE THE TWO BIGGEST RELATED , A COUPLE OF THINGS CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT, THE FIRST IS, FOR AGING PARENTS, HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ATTENDING THE MEDICAL APPOINTMENT.

AND MAYBE EVEN GO WITH THEM IF YOU NEED TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE BEING HONEST AND NOT MISSING ANYTHING FROM THAT APPOINTED.

ALSO, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT WITH AGING INDIVIDUALS, THAT IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM.

MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AWARE , THEY CAN LOOK LEGITIMATE, NEVER DISCLOSE THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION, NAME, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, ACCOUNT NUMBERS, UNLESS IT IS A LEGITIMATE REASON.

JON NELSON, HANGING OUT WITH THE COACH.

DID THE GUYS TAKE A WHILE TO GET INTO THE RHYTHM OF THE GAME?

THEY FINALLY ANSWERED.

>> WE STARTED SLOW, WE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME.

WE CAME OUT WITH VERY LITTLE SENSE OF URGENCY .

YOU KNOW, WE GOT THAT RIGHT THERE AT THE END OF THE HALF.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE >> WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM ABOUT THAT SENSE OF URGENCY AND UNDERSTANDING THE GRAVITY OF THE MOMENT?

>> I TOLD THEM THAT WE DID NOT PLAY VERY WELL BUT WE ARE STILL DOWN ONLY ONE TOUCHDOWN.

WE NEED TO COME OUT WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY AND TRY TO GET BACK IN THE GAME.

>> WE WILL CERTAINLY KEEP AN EYE ON YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MAURICO ZACKERY, NOW, LET'S GET BACK TO THE SECOND HALF.

>> THANKS, A LOT MORE FOOTBALL TO PLAY.

WE WILL HAVE THE COACHES ON STANDBY ALL AROUND THE STATE, READY TO TALK ABOUT THE MATCH UPS THAT ARE ON THE FIELD, OR ON THE BUS HEADING BACK.

THAT IS SUCH A FUN SHOW, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO VISIT .

>> DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SAME AREA OF JUST ONE FOOTBALL FIELD CAN CONTAIN UP TO 95 TERMITE COLONIES?

THAT IS WHY YOU NEED BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT TO DEFEND YOUR HOME .

BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT, THE OFFICIAL PEST CONTROL OF WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> WELCOME BACK.

HALF-TIME WITH CARROLLTON LEADING WESTLAKE, 21-13.

AS WE GET READY TO START THE SECOND HALF, IT IS MATT STEWART ALONG WITH WAYNE GANDY.

COACH ZACKERY JUST TOLD NELSON THAT HIS TEAM DID NOT PLAY A GOOD FIRST HALF BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THE GAME.

>> CARROLLTON DOMINATED THEM, OFFENSIVELY, THEY GOT A LITTLE BIT OF ENERGY GOING UNDERNEATH WITH RJ JOHNSON AND THEY BECAME DOMINANT.

JUST A COUPLE OF TURNOVERS THERE.

THAT STOPPED SOME OF THE DRIVES, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN TIED OR AHEAD IN THE GAME.

>> KIND OF SURPRISING IN A GAME OF THIS MAGNITUDE, BUT MAYBE NOT SURPRISING AT ALL, WE HAVE HAD FIVE TOTAL TURNOVERS IN THE GAME.

MAYBE THAT IS MORE ABOUT THE DEFENSE MAKING PLAYS THAT THE OFFICE MAKING MISTAKES?

>> THEY DEFTLY TURNED UP THE PRESSURE ON JUJU LEWIS, IN THAT SECOND QUARTER, THEY MADE SOME PRESSURE MOVES AND FRESHMAN MISTAKES, THAT HANDOFF BY JOHNSON TO THOMAS, THAT GAVE THEM THE BALL.

>> FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS, THE FIRST DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE GAME, FROM AVIEON TERRELL, PICKING OFF OF 14 IN THE OPENING MINUTES, TO GET BACK FOR THE PICK SIX TO GIVE >> WE SEE THEM GIVE THE BALL UP QUICKLY TO CALEB ODOM, THE BIG TIGHT END, DOWN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> IT IS OUT BEFORE, WITH THE FIRST OF HIS TWO TOUCHDOWN RUNS, THAT ONE WAS FROM NINE YARDS OUT, ON THE FOURTH DOWN HE SCORES FROM TWO YARDS OUT, 21-17.

TWO TURNOVERS FOR WESTLAKE INSIDE THE 20 YARD LINE, INSIDE THAT SECOND QUARTER, THE THOMAS TAKES IT IN.

YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE TURNOVERS, WAYNE.

ONE OF THEM WAS THE PICK INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE, THE OTHER WAS THE FUMBLE FORCED ON THOMAS, INSIDE THE 20 YARD LINE, AND THEORETICALLY, WESTLAKE COULD BE IN THE LEAD BY ONE TOUCHDOWN RIGHT NOW.

>> NEEDING TO COME OUT IN THE SECOND HALF TO ESTABLISH THE RUN.

YOU SAW THOSE ENERGY LEVELS PICKING UP FOR THEM AS THE COACH TALKED ABOUT IN THE GAME, NOW, THEY HAVE MADE AGAIN, THEY ARE ONLY ONE SCORE AWAY.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE HALFTIME STATS.

YOU SEE THAT BIG TURNOVER NUMBER, THAT HAS BEEN A VERY BIG FACTOR IN THE GAME, 191 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE FOR THE TROJANS IN THAT FIRST HALF.

BUT A LOT OF THAT 115 FOR TRENT THEY CAME IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

>> GO DOWN THE BOARD, FIRST DOWNS.

BREAKEVEN, EVEN IN TURNOVERS, BOTH TEAMS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ON FOURTH DOWN, LOOKING TO COME OUT AND GET THAT ENERGY GOING IN THE SECOND HALF.

THAT IS THE KEY TO THE GAME.

>> THAT IS THE CRAZY STAT, HOW ABOUT THAT?

COMBINED 1 FOR 10 ON FIRST DOWNS, BUT A COMBINED 4 FOR 4 ON FOURTH DOWN.

>> KEEPING THE GLIDES ALIVE FOR THE TEAM, THAT IS GOING TO BE A VERY COMPETITIVE GAME FOR BOTH OF THESE OFFENSES, DOWN THE SCRATCH.

>> AGAIN, THE SCENARIO, WITH WHAT IS ON THE LINE, CARROLLTON, RANKED NUMBER THREE IN THE STATE , 8-0 ON THE SEASON, THEY COULD CLINCH THE REGION CHAMPION TONIGHT WITH A VICTORY AND A CAMPBELL LOSS AT PEBBLE BROOK, THAT WOULD PUT THEM MATHEMATICALLY OUT OF THE REACH OF EVERYBODY ELSE.

AND WESTLAKE CANNOT CLINCH ANYTHING TONIGHT, BUT THEY CAN CONTROL THEIR OWN REGION CHAMPIONSHIP DESTINY SHOULD THEY BE CARROLLTON TONIGHT AND WIN OUT THE REST OF THE WAY.

THEY WOULD BE THE REGION CHAMPIONS AND THE NUMBER ONE SEED.

AND JON NELSON HIT ON A VERY GOOD POINT EARLY ON, PROBABLY PLAYING FOR THE ONE OR TWO SEED IN THE REGION, ALTHOUGH MATHEMATICALLY, WE CANNOT SAY THAT TONIGHT.

PROBABLY, IN REALITY, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

THE NUMBER ONE AND TWO SEED, OUT OF THIS REGION, WHICH ONE WOULD BE ONE AND WHICH ONE WILL BE TWO AT THE END OF ALL.

AGAIN, THE STATE JAMBA JUICE BEGIN THREE WEEKS TONIGHT.

SO, WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO IT.

14, THAT IS A TOP, A TOUGH FIRST HALF.

THE TOUCHDOWN FOR CALEB ODOM, AND ONLY 45 YARDS SINCE.

THE BIGGER NUMBER FOR THE INTERCEPTIONS.

>> HE CAME INTO THE GAME WITH ONLY FIVE INTERCEPTIONS.

BUT THEY TALK ABOUT MAN-TO-MAN, HOLDING WASHINGTON TO 12.

SECONDARY LOVES THE MATCHUP AND TO BRING PRESSURE, AND SO FAR IN THE GAME, HE IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE PRESSURE IN HIS FACE.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CARROLLTON TEAM RESUMES, BROUGHT TO YOU BY DBHDD.

LEARN ABOUT STATE USAGE OF PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS.

THE SEMIFINALIST , AFTER THE FIVE-YEAR ONE OF FIVE IN A ROW STATE QUARTERFINALS FINISHES, THEY HAVE WON SEVEN STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT WON ONE SINCE 1998.

AND THEY ONLY HAVE ONE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE LAST 47 YEARS.

31 REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR 32nd THIS YEAR, THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE STATE FINALS 13 TIMES IN PROGRAM HISTORY, AND THE LAST TIME COMING IN 2013.

11 SEMI-FINALS FINISHES, 13 QUARTERFINALS FINISHES, SEVEN- STRAIGHT PLAYOFF SEASONS.

33 IN THE LAST 35 YEARS, BUT THE CARROLLTON 22, THEY ARE PART OF THE STANDARD, THEY ARE NOT ONLY THE GOLD STANDARD OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, IN ALL OF GEORGIA FOOTBALL.

BUCKLE UP GEORGIA BRINGS YOU KICKOFF, BUCKLE UP GEORGIA, SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.

CARROLLTON PULLS A LITTLE BIT OF A SNEAK ON THEM, AFTER HAVING GOTTEN INTO THE END ZONE EVERY TIME, THEY GO SHORT, AND THEY GET THAT SAME RESULT, WITH WESTLAKE TAKING OVER.

>> THE TROJANS DEFENSE, AND RJ JOHNSON, THEY WANTED TO CHANGE IT UP, AND MAKE THIS OFFENSIVE LINE, NOT LET THEM SIT THERE AND SETTLE.

AND PICK THEM APART.

>> JOHNSON, 75 YARDS, HE GOT PAST 8000 WITH HIS 75 SO FAR HERE TONIGHT.

THE FIRST PLAY OF THE HALF, GOES TO THOMAS, GET OUT OF THE TACKLE AND PICKS UP FIVE YARDS OF THE PLAY, AND JOHN JACOB LEVY HAD A SHOT ON HIM.

>> NUMBER TWO IN THE COUNTRY, JOHN JACOB LEVY, AND STILL GETTING OUT OF THE TACKLE, WHAT A STRONG RUN , WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THAT INITIAL TACKLER, NO CHANCE TO BRING HIM DOWN.

>> RIGHT THERE, ON THE CENTER.

NOW, THE SOPHOMORE.

THE PASS IS COMPLETE OUT ON THE EDGE FOR JABARI JONES.

FIRST DOWN AND MORE, AND FINALLY, DRIVEN OUT OF BOUNDS, CLOSE TO THE 40 YARD LINE.

>> GOOD JOB OF JUST LETTING THAT TALENT GET OUT THERE.

THERE WAS JONES, ONLY A SOPHOMORE, GETTING THE BALL TO THE TOP RECEIVER, LET HIM GO TO WORK.

LOOK AT THAT GOOD WORK THERE.

AND THEY JUST CONCEDE THE CORNER.

AND THEY TOOK THAT RUN TO THE END.

>> SPOTTED DOWN AT THE 37 FIRST AND 10.

AND, FINDING BIG, BOLD JACOB LEVY.

NO, YOU ARE NOT GETTING PAST ME THIS TIME.

>> NICE JOB OF LETTING THE PENETRATION GO THROUGH.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

LOOK AT THE PENETRATION.

PUSHING THE POCKET, GETTING IT INTO BACKFILL.

NICE JOB THERE.

AND NEVER REALLY SEEING A LOT OF GAMES.

THIS IS TYPICALLY YOUR NINTH AND 10th GRADE TEAM, HAVING TO START UP FRONT.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 12.

JOHNSON THROWS A SCREEN, COMPLETE TO WILLIAMS, FIRST DOWN AND MORE.

GOES !

ZION WILLIAMS, 65 YARDS FOR THE SCORE!

>> HIGHLIGHT MOVES RIGHT HERE BY WILLIAMS.

LATE UNDERNEATH ON THIS ROUTE, YOU CAN SEE RJ JOHNSON WAITING, CATCHING IT ON THE BACK END OF THAT HE ROCKS .

THE EXPLOSION, OUT ON THE EDGE.

THEY ARE SCREAMING FREE , AND LETTING IT TALK FOR ITSELF.

>> 69 CAREER TOUCHDOWN PASS, LET SEE IF THEY GO WITH THE TWO TO TRY TO TIE IT UP EARLY.

69'S CAREER TOUCHDOWN PASS TO JOHNSON.

AND IT ZION WILLIAMS DOING MOST OF THE HEAVY WORK WITH THAT RUN.

GOING FOR 2.

THE PASS IS THROWN AND IT IS INCOMPLETE.

TRYING TO SQUEEZE IT INTO A TIGHT SPOT THERE TO JABARI JONES.

THE SAFETY, JAI'DEN THOMAS, BREAKS AND APPEARED AND THE SCORE REMAINS 21-19.

>> NICE JOB, KEEPING HIS LEVERAGE ON THE BALL.

AND FINALLY COMING OVER, WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, KNOCKING THAT BALD OUT.

RJ JOHNSON, HE NEEDED TO KEEP THAT MOVING LOW, PUT IT ON NUMBERS.

WHAT AN EXPLOSIVE DRIVE.

AND ALL BEFORE THEM , IN FRONT OF THEM, THEY CAME OUT SO FAR IN THIS HAVE TO SHOW YOU THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THIS GAME.

>> OUR CONVERSATION WITH COACH ZACKERY, HE HAS SAID THAT HE HAS NO HARD TIME GETTING THEIR ATTENTION.

>> HE HAS THE INTENT.

EVERY DAY , RING THE BELL, THAT IS HIS PURPOSE.

>> FROM 153, AND A TOUCHDOWN HERE TONIGHT, HE THREW FOR 300 YARDS AGAINST CARROLLTON IN THAT QUARTERFINAL LOSS LAST YEAR.

SO, NOW CARROLLTON , THE LEAD HAS BEEN CUT TO 21-19.

THE BALL IS COMING DOWN AT THE 5.

TAKARE LIPSCOMB, ON THE RETURN, AND TAKARE LIPSCOMB WILL GET STOPPED AT 22.

OLIVER, THE INTERCEPTION EARLIER, WITH THE SPECIAL TEAMS.

>> HOW CAN THIS TROJANS OFFENSE FIND ITS GROUP HERE?

AS WE SAW, THEY COOLED OFF DRAMATICALLY IN THAT SECOND QUARTER.

COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER.

THE TURNOVERS, AND JUJU LEWIS, NEEDING TO HANDLE THE PRESSURE HERE.

HE HAS HANDLED TAKARE LIPSCOMB.

ON THE WESTLAKE SIDE.

>> THE POINTS FOR CARROLLTON ALL CAME WITHIN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF THE GAME.

FIRST AND 10, AND OUT ON THE EDGE TO THE 23, AND OUT THERE BLOCKING FOR THEM, TAKARE LIPSCOMB, THAT IS WHAT JOEY KING TOLD US, LOOK, THEY WILL BLOCK FOR EACH OTHER.

>> NICE JOB JUST GETTING THE BALL OUT THERE ON THE EDGE.

THAT IS A BLOCK , A GOOD BLOCK RIGHT THERE, IN THIS DAY AND AGE, YOU HAVE GUYS COMING IN, AND THEY BLOCK, AND THEY HELP OUT EACH OTHER, THAT IS THE KEY.

>> STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS, THAT WESTLAKE DEFENSE.

THEY ARE GETTING HARD TO RUN ON NOW.

>> DEFENSIVE FRONT , FARMER, RIGHT THERE, HOAX.

THEY NEED TO START TO CONTINUE THE STRENGTH OF THE DEFENSE, THEY NEED TO TRY TO STOP THE RUN GAME RIGHT HERE.

>> THIRD DOWN AND TWO.

BIG HIT IN THE BACKFIELD, DOES NOT GET THE FIRST DOWN.

DALLAS HOOKS AGAIN, BIG , BIG BACK-TO-BACK PLAYS , THE SENIOR KNOWS THAT IT IS FOURTH DOWN.

>> PETERSON, FORCING THE QUARTERBACK TO HAND THE BALL OFF.

UPFRONT, JOHNSON .

GETTING IN THERE , PLAYING ON THE CARROLLTON SIDE OF THE BALL.

>> THEY WILL PUNT IT HERE, NO, THEY ARE GOING TO RUN RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.

HICKS TAKES UP THE FIRST DOWN.

>> COACH KING, DECIDING TO ROLL THE DICE ONCE AGAIN ON HIS SIDE OF THE FIELD.

THAT IS ONE AND A HALF THERE, HANDING THE BALL OFF AND CHALLENGING THIS TO PERFORM, FIRST DOWN.

>> HICKS, UP TO THE 48.

>> RUNNING INSIDE, BOUNCING OFF TACKLERS.

>> SECOND DOWN AND FIVE, THE BALL, AT THE 48.

JACOB LEAVY IN THE BACKFIELD, THAT HEAVY FORMATION.

ON THIS SECOND DRIVE.

>> THE HANDOFF GOES TO THE 50 YARD LINE, AND THAT WAS EVANS GETTING THE RUN RIGHT THERE, OVER ON THE SIDELINE, THINGS GET A LITTLE BIT CRAFTY.

THE OFFICIALS, THEY ARE SAYING IT UP IN THERE.

>> THE THROUGH LINE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE THE FIELD HERE UPFRONT.

WRITING TO THE SIDELINE.

>> LOOK AT THAT BATTLE THERE, MY GOODNESS.

>> HAVING TO GO TO THE SIDELINE, AND -- >> THAT WAS RIGHT IN JACOB LEVI'S WHEELHOUSE, THIRD DOWN AND THREE.

AND CARROLLTON HAS CONVERTED ON THE THIRD DOWN, JUST ONCE IN THIS GAME, BUT THEY ARE 4 FOR 4 ON FOURTH DOWNS.

FROM THE 50.

TRYING TO GET OUTSIDE, AND ANOTHER PSL FOR THAT LIONS DEFENSE.

THAT IS HARPER HOLLOMAN.

>> BETA 48, INSIDE, WITH THE INTERCEPTION IN THAT FIRST HALF.

BUT THIS TIME, INTO THE BACKFIELD , FORCING THEM TO BOUNCE OUTSIDE.

AND ONCE AGAIN , HAVING A GO FOR IT.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS.

KEEPING JUJU LEWIS ON THE FIELD.

>> 4 FOR 4 ON THE FOURTH DOWNS AND GOING FOR IT, FROM THE 49th IN THE HANDOFF IS GOING TO BE CLOSE.

AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE OFFICIALS HAD GIVEN THEM THE SPOT FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

AND THEY GOT IT AGAIN.

FIVE FOURTH DOWN CONVERSIONS FOR THE CARROLLTON TROJANS.

>> THIS IS ALL ABOUT BRYCE HICKS .

SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN, YOU CAN SEE NUMBER 3.

A LOT OF BLUE JERSEYS AROUND HIM, HE IS TRYING TO FIGHT.

AND TRYING TO GET THAT FIRST DOWN.

>> AGAIN, BRYCE HICKS, A COUPLE OF YARDS, MAN, THEY ARE REALLY COLLIDING HARD AT THE POINT OF ATTACK.

REALLY GETTING INTENSE.

94 YARDS OF OFFENSE FOR HICKS, HE WENT FOR 201 WHEN THEY PLAYED IN LATE NOVEMBER IN THE QUARTERFINALS.

>> YOU CAN SEE HERE, IN THE SECOND HALF, AS CARROLLTON COMES OUT, KEEPS THAT RUN GAME GOING, AND TRIES TO GET AS MANY TOUCHES AS THEY CAN TO AFFECT THIS GAME.

>> THE BALL IS BATTED INTO THE AIR, A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM THIS WESTLAKE DEFENSE.

AND THE SAFETY, ON THE SAFETY BLITZ , DEMARIUS HINES, POPPING IT INTO THE AIR.

>> JUJU LEWIS, SHOWING THAT HE CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURE, THAT IS A NICE JOB PUTTING THE BALL DOWN, FOR DEMARIUS HINES.

THEY CONTINUE TO DIAL IT UP.

KEEP THEM GUESSING.

KEEP THE BODIES GOING FORWARD.

NEARLY PICKED.

BETA98 >> NOT GIVING AN INCH RIGHT THERE.

ONCE AGAIN, THAT IS A GOOD CHALLENGE BY THE BIG RECEIVER OUT ON THE EDGE.

50/50 BALL.

CALEB ODOM, AND IF YOU ARE JUJU LEWIS, YOU GET THE HIGH BALL IN THAT SITUATION, HERE, THROWING THE BALL A LITTLE SHORT, AND ALLOWING THEM TO GET BACK INTO THE PLAY BETTER >> ANDREW ALBERTUS, ON THE PUNT FOR CARROLLTON.

AND ANDREW ALBERTUS WILL KICK IT AWAY.

THE BALL, COMING DOWN AT THE TENDED NO RETURN.

IT WILL ROLL DEAD AT THE 6 YARD LINE, AND THAT IS WHERE WESTLAKE WILL GO BACK, AND AFTER THE 41-YARD , THINGS ARE GETTING VERY INTENSE AT WESTLAKE STADIUM.

CIGNA 'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH, WELL-BEING , AND PEACE OF MIND OF THOSE WE SERVE.

VISIT CIGNA.COM TO LEARN HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING.

>> JUST AT THE END OF THE GAME I WAS PUT IN, BECAUSE HE GOT HURT, AND ONCE HE GOT PUT IN, HE NEVER CAME OUT.

I GUESS YOU JUST HAVE TO EARN YOUR SPACE, SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT LEADERSHIP ON DEFENSE.

VERY EXCITING.

>> I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING THE STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE WEEK, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK.

FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW.

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LIONS DEN, IT IS A TWO-POINT GAME, LET'S UPDATE YOUR MULTI SCREEN AND IT'S PERIODS, THE THIRD QUARTER WITH LAMBERT, LAMBERT IS GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF DISTANCE, THEY GOT THE TWO- POINT CONVERSION AND A FIELD GOAL, THE GAME IS NOW A NINE- POINT GAME THERE.

THAT IS SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON AS WE LOOK AT THE NEXT POSSESSION FOR WESTLAKE.

WE SPENT SOME TIME WITH THE CARROLLTON DEFENSE.

THE COACHES WERE IMPLORING THEM TO GET PRESSURE ON THE QUARTERBACK, SO THERE IS NO TIME FOR THAT IN BETWEEN GAME, THE DRAG ROUTES, TO WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH, SO THEY CAN WORK THEIR WAY DOWN THE FIELD.

NOW BACK TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE, NELLY.

WESTLAKE TAKES OVER DEEP IN THEIR OWN END.

AND NOW, THOMAS, OUT TO ABOUT THE 15 YARD LINE.

>> NICE JOB DOWN THAT LEFT SIDE.

THE SOPHOMORE WITH THE BIG BODY, 6'3" , GETTING OUT ON THE FRONT, THAT IS A GREAT TIME GETTING THAT MAN RIGHT THERE, JAI'DEN THOMAS, GETTING THEM TO RUN THE BALL.

>> SECOND DOWN AND TWO.

AND THOMAS GET THAT AGAIN, THOMAS GET THE FIRST DOWN, IT BOUNCES, WE DO HAVE A FLAG DOWN, AND WE WILL CHECK THE PENALTY.

>> RIGHT THERE, THE TIGHT END.

>> BERNARD JONES, OUR REFEREE.

IT HAS BEEN A RELATIVELY CLEAN GAME.

ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO SAY THAT.

IT HAS BEEN CLEAN, NOT A LOT OF PENALTY FLAGS.

SO, THIRD DOWN , MAKE THAT SECOND DOWN BECAUSE OF THE PENALTY, SECOND DOWN AND NINE, BACK AT THE SIX.

OUT ON THE EDGE.

JABARI JONES, TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO RUN TO, HE WILL NOT FIND IT.

AND JOHNSON, INITIALLY GOING BACK.

>> THERE IS A FLAG ON THE PLAY OUT.

>> THAT IS A DANGEROUS PASS, TO ME.

>> A LITTLE MISDIRECTION, THEY WERE GOING TO GET A BLOCK IN THE BACK RIGHT THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE RECEIVER, HITTING HIM IN THE BACK.

>> Referee: THAT PENALTY WILL BE DECLINED.

>> PENALTY DECLINED, THAT MEANS IT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THIRD AND NINE HERE.

THE 16, THE BALL SITS ON THE EIGHT, THIRD AND EIGHT.

THE PRESSURE ON THE BACKSIDE, AND THE DROP.

BUTLER , WHO YOU MAY REMEMBER HAD A BIG TOUCHDOWN CATCH WHEN WE WERE HERE BACK IN AUGUST, HE HAD ONE IN HIS HAND AND HE LET IT DROP.

>> THE BALL, IT WAS A VERY CATCHABLE BALL THERE, BY RJ JOHNSON.

BUT THAT IS THE KIND OF PRODUCTION BUTLER CAN BRING TO THE GAME, FIRST DOWN BY WESTLAKE.

>> NO, CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL ON THE PUNT.

AND JOHNSON, THE SAFETY, TO RECEIVE THE PUNT.

AND HE IS GOING TO RUN IT AND TAKE A SAFETY.

HE COUGHS UP THE BALL, THAT IS GOING TO BE A SAFETY AS HE THROWS AN INCOMPLETE PASS OUT OF THE END ZONE.

>> I AM NOT SURE.

WELL , IT IS DOWN ON THE GROUND.

HE IS GRABBING SO, HOPEFULLY HE IS OKAY.

>> COULD NOT REALLY TELL WHAT THE INDICATOR WAS TO RUN THE PLAY.

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CANNOT GET THE BALL OFF.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT THE SNAP BACK IN PLENTY OF TIME, HE COULD HAVE TICKET.

BUT FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, THAT WAS AN INCOMPLETE PASS OUT OF THE END ZONE AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY.

BUT I GUESS , PERHAPS THEY COULD RULE IT A FUMBLE AND RECOVERY FOR TOUCHDOWN BY CARROLLTON.

BUT I THINK THE OFFICIALS, THEY ARE WAITING TO MAKE A CALL HERE, BASED ON THE KICK BEING DOWN.

LOOK, HE THROWS IT RIGHT THERE.

TO ME, THAT IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS.

HE GOT HURT ON THE PLAY, WHEN HE GOT TACKLED.

AS YOU SAY, MATT, IT LOOKS LIKE HIS ARM IS GOING FORWARD, IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS FALLING.

>> IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO THROW THE BALL WHEN EVANS TACKLED HIM.

>> IT LOOKED LIKE HE LOST CONTROL AS HE WAS TRYING TO THROW IT AS WELL.

>> HE LOST HIS GRIP ON THE BALL AS HE WAS TRYING TO TALK HIS ARM BACK TO THROW IT.

IT COULD BE RULED A FUMBLE.

WE HAVE HAD NO INDICATION YET FROM THE REFEREE, BERNARD JONES.

I THINK THAT BERNARD JONES IS REALLY KIND OF WAITING HERE FOR THE PLAYER, KRISTIN CAMPBELL , TO BE ASSISTED OFF THE FIELD AND THAT IS BAD NEWS RIGHT THERE, BECAUSE CAMPBELL DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUNT ANYMORE TONIGHT.

>> HE CANNOT PUT ANY PRESSURE ON THAT LEG AS HE WALKS OFF, IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS IN PAIN.

DEFINITELY WAS IN THE END ZONE, IN THE GRASS.

AS HE TRIED TO THROW THE BALL, OUT OF HIS GRIP, AND, AS YOU SAID, IT WAS A FUMBLE.

>> LET ME CLARIFY, IF THAT IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS, THE BALL WOULD COME OUT TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND IT WOULD BE THE CARROLLTON BALL AT 7.

IF IT IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS AND RULED INTENTIONAL GROUNDING, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY, BUT THERE WAS NO FLAG THROWN, SO THAT POSSIBILITY DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS IN PLAY.

IT IS EITHER AN INCOMPLETE PASS, BALL ON THE 7.

>> Referee: INTENTIONAL GROUNDING ON THE OFFENSE.

THAT PENALTY WILL BE DECLINED, FIRST DOWN.

>> INTENTIONAL GROUNDING, WHEN YOU THROW OUT OF THE END ZONE?

>> IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY.

IF THEY ARE CALLING IT INTENTIONAL, YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT HERE, HE LOST CONTROL OF THE BALL RIGHT HERE, HE HAS NO CONTROL OF THAT BALL, AND IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY, IF IT IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS.

INTENTIONAL GROUNDING BENT >> WHICH THEY JUST CALLED.

SO, MEANTIME, CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL IS BEING PUT ON THE MEDICAL GOLF CART.

AND SO , THE BALL WILL GO OVER TO CARROLLTON, THEY WERE POINTED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE WHERE THE BALL IS PUNTED, THAT WILL BE THE 7 YARD LINE, AND CARROLLTON TAKES OVER, FIRST AND GOAL AT THE 7.

STILL A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED ABOUT THE INTENTIONAL GROUNDING AT THE END ZONE.

>> THE REFEREE DID NOT SAY IN THE GRASS.

THAT IS WHAT ALLOWED THEM TO GET THE BALL OUT.

THAT IS A VERY BIG BREAK FOR THIS CARROLLTON OFFENSE.

>> NO DOUBT, AS CARROLLTON TAKES OVER, FIRST AND GOAL, AT THE 7.

HAND OFF, IT IS JAMUN EVANS, DOWN TO THE 4.

>> AND THROUGHOUT THIS GAME, AND THE LAST COUPLE OF RUNS, YOU CAN SEE , HE TRIED TO CATCH HIS BREATH SOMETIME.

>> WELL THEY DID SAY THE CARROLLTON DECLINED THE PENALTY, MAY BE DECLINED THE SAFETY.

I FIND THAT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT MAYBE THEY DID.

WE NEED CLARIFICATION ON THAT, IN THE MEANTIME, THEY TAKE IT IN FOR THEIR THIRD SCORE OF THE NIGHT.

>> NICE JOB, OUT OF FOUR.

GETTING THE BALL BEHIND AND INSIDE, MORE ON THAT LEFT SIDE, NUMBER 78.

GLIDING INTO THE END ZONE BEHIND JORDAN WHITE, THE TIGHT END AS WELL, HE HAS DONE THAT ALL NIGHT LONG, BRYCE HICKS, BETWEEN THE TACKLES.

>> 13 RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON, THREE OF THEM HAVE COME TONIGHT, AND RUSSELL IS ON FOR THE P.A.T..

IN ON THE MISTAKE BY WESTLAKE.

IT IS A 28-19 LEAD FOR THE TROJANS.

>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA ON GPB, BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY DBHDD.

WIN BY LEARNING ABOUT SAFE USAGE OF OPIOIDS.

>> BACK AT WESTLAKE STADIUM.

BRYCE HICKS, THREE TOUCHDOWNS, 22 CARRIES FOR 140 YARDS.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE GOVERNOR'S RED DRIVEN SCORING CAMPAIGN DRIVE, AFTER THAT MISCUE BY WESTLAKE ON THE PUNT.

GOOD NEWS FOR CARROLLTON, CAMPBELL IS GETTING BEATEN TONIGHT, IT IS 41-0 IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

SO THAT MEANS, IF CARROLLTON WINS TONIGHT, THEY WILL CLINCH THE REGION CHAMPION AND THE NUMBER ONE SEED COMING OUT OF REGION TO 7 A.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE 37th REGION CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THIS CARROLLTON PROGRAM.

JOEY KING'S TEAM UP 28-19 WITH THREE AND A HALF MINUTES TO PLAY IN THIS THIRD QUARTER.

>> DECIDING TO MAKE THEM RE-KICK THE BALL HERE.

>> A LITTLE BIT OF RETURN FOR AVIEON TERRELL.

IT COULD BE A GAME CHANGER, IF HE GETS THE BALL.

LOOKS GETS BY AVIEON TERRELL INTO THE END ZONE.

THAT WAS HIS CHANCE, THEY WERE BRINGING OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.

>> STILL IN THE GAME IS WESTLAKE, SHOWING THEIR ABILITY TO THROW THE BALL, ESPECIALLY UNDERNEATH, AGAINST THE ZONE, WITH NO NEED TO PANIC, THAT IS EXECUTION, AND WHEN THEY EXECUTE, THEY HAVE A LOT OF SUCCESS.

THEIR BAD MOMENTS HAVE BEEN PENALTIES AND LACK OF EXECUTION AT TIMES.

>> THE TURNOVERS AND THAT BOTCHED PUNT EVENT HAVE REALLY KILLED THEM TONIGHT.

THEY COULD'VE BEEN IN THE LEAD.

BUT INSTEAD, A TRAIL BY NIGHT.

THEY MISSED THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION, THEY MISSED A SINGLE P.A.T., THAT IS THREE POINT THEY FAILED TO GET NOW, JONES , DID HE COME DOWN WITH THE CATCH?

THEY WILL RULE THAT AS A CASH.

AN ACROBATIC CATCH FOR A SHORT GAIN BY JONES.

>> HE TOOK HIS EYES OFF THE BALL FOR A SECOND THERE, TRYING TO CHECK, MAKING SURE THAT HE KNEW WHERE IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT HIM.

NICE JOB OF CONCENTRATING AND BRINGING IT IN.

>> BALL AT THE 27th.

AND UP GOES THOMAS.

HE MOVES THROUGH THE HOLE ON STIFF ARMS AND OUT TO THE 50 YARD LINE, OR CLOSE TO IT.

A STRONG RUN BY JAI'DEN THOMAS.

REALLY LOOSENING UP YOUR.

23 ON THAT GARY.

>> GREAT VISION, LOOK AT THIS RIGHT HERE, GETTING TO THE OUTSIDE, STIFF ARM, FALLING FORWARD FOR ANOTHER THREE OR FOUR YARDS.

>> LOVE THESE RUNNING BACKS, THEY ARE SIMILAR IN SIZE AND STYLE.

FUN TO WATCH.

THE PICKUP IS CLOSE TO ANOTHER FIVE.

CARTER, MAKING THE TACKLES FOR THE TROJANS.

>> WITH THAT GETTING LOST IN THE SHUFFLE A LITTLE BIT, AS THEY WERE RUNNING, IMPATIENT, STAYING BEHIND.

THEN THEY MAKE THAT LITTLE BURST AT THE END FOR FOUR OR FIVE YARDS.

>> 80 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN FOR THOMAS, AS HE COMES OFF THE FIELD FOR A MOMENT.

AND THE SENIOR RUNNING BACK , DOWN TO THE 42.

>> NO PENETRATION THAT TIME , LOOK AT THAT CLEAN JOB , GETTING UPFIELD , INSIDE THE TACKLE BETTER.

AND OUT ON THE EDGE, QUIN ACKEY PICKS UP SOME YARDS.

>> ON THE 40.

WRAPPED UP , AND SMITH, WITH THE PENETRATION.

>> GETTING UPFIELD, NICE JOB.

WE CANNOT TALK ENOUGH ABOUT SMITH, INSIDE, DEFENSE.

THOSE TWO GUYS HAVE TO MAKE PLAYS RIGHT THERE.

DOWNHILL, COMING UP WITH THAT TACKLE.

>> SEVEN TOTAL TACKLES, TWO TFL FOR SMITH, THE LIONS ARE GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN AND THREE.

SCREEN PASS TO THOMAS.

GOT A MAN BEAT, CANNOT GET PAST KELVIN HILL.

WHAT AN OPEN FIELD TACKLE BY THE QUARTERBACK.

AN ABSOLUTE DOG, COMES UP WITH A HUGE PLAY ON FOURTH DOWN.

>> NICE JOB OF GETTING THE BALL OVER HIS HEAD, AND THEN, COMING OUT OF NOWHERE, KELVIN HILL.

HE SEES THE SHORT SET UP SCREEN.

GREAT TACKLE RIGHT THERE AS WELL.

THE WRAPPING THE LEGS UP, A GUY >> IT IS AMAZING, WHEN YOU SEE AT QUARTERBACK, LEADING THE TEAM IN TFL, TACKLES FOR LOSS.

THAT IS A HUGE PLAY, A BIG-TIME PLAYWRIGHT THERE TO GIVE THE TROJANS THE BALL BACK WITH ONE MINUTE TO PLAY IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

AND JAMUN EVANS LUNGES FORWARD, HE GETS CLOSE TO EIGHT ON THE PLAY.

>> NICE JOB OF JUST GETTING THE BALL AND ATTACKING, HE IS ONE OF THOSE PROGRAM GUYS WHO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, RIGHT THERE, JUST GETTING THE BALL, GETTING UPFIELD.

THAT IS A HARD SEVEN OR EIGHT YARDS.

>> HE REALLY CAME OUT BIG LAST YEAR IN THE PLAYOFFS , WHEN HICKS WAS HURT.

CAME UP WITH SOME BIG-TIME GAINS.

COMING UP WITH THE BALL AGAIN TO GET THE FIRST DOWN.

I WAS WATCHING THEIR GAME COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND THIS IS KIND OF THEIR MO, YOU BRING IN EVIDENCE, LATE IN THAT THIRD QUARTER, FOURTH QUARTER, REST UP HICKS AND LET EVANS DO SOME HEAVY LIFTING AND HEAVY RUNNING FOR YOU.

>> ONCE AGAIN, THAT TACKLE.

NOT OUTSIDE OF THE CENTER , GREAT TECHNIQUE.

>> YES, WALTON, NUMBER 70, THE SENIOR.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

END OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

IT HAS BEEN A FABULOUS GAME HERE, THIS IS THE REGION 2 7A TITLE HANGING IN THE BALANCE.

IT IS CARROLLTON WITH THE 28 -19 LEAD, AS WE HEAD INTO THE FOURTH.

IN GEORGIA ON GPB, BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY GEORGIA DMC, SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

>> WE CONTINUE OUR COVERAGE, WE GO NOW TO ATLANTA GEORGIA FOR THE OFFICIAL DECLARATION.

>> I HAVE DECIDED NEXT YEAR, I WILL BE DONATING MY SKILLS.

>> WHAT IMPACTED YOUR DECISION?

>> LEARNING ON THE JOB, I REALLY LOVE WORKING WITH MY HANDS AND BEING PART OF A TEAM.

>> ANOTHER HIGHLY-TOUTED PROSPECT ENTERS THE TRADE.

>> THE START OF THE FOURTH QUARTER, BUCKLE UP.

GEORGIA BUCKLE UP IN THIS FOURTH QUARTER, IT IS MATT STEWART, JON NELSON, HANNAH GOODIN, WAYNE GANDY.

HANNAH , JON NELSON, THEY WILL GET YOU CAUGHT UP IN THE POST GAME WITH INTERVIEWS WITH ALL OF THE HEAD COACHES.

PERHAPS 12 MINUTES AWAY , CARROLLTON, FROM ANOTHER REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.

CAMPBELL, LOSING BIG TO PEBBLE BROOK IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> FARMER, GETTING TO THAT EDGE.

EVANS BIT RIGHT NOW, CARROLLTON , THEY ARE IN THAT MINDSET, THEY ARE JUST GOING TO PLAY, FOUR, FIVE YARDS.

A LOT OF PRESSURE.

AND WESTLAKE, WHEN THEY GET THE BALL BACK.

THE MAC THE BALL, DOWN AT THE 5.

AND HE GETS KNOCKED SIDEWAYS .

AND NOW, AVIEON TERRELL GOT SHOVED BY CALEB ODOM.

HE HAS BEEN IN COVERAGE ALL NIGHT, HE WANTED TO GET HIS SHOT IN.

>> GETTING OUT OF BOUNDS , IT IS JUJU LEWIS RIGHT THERE.

>> PERSONAL FOUL ON THE DEFENSE, 15-YARD PENALTY, THAT RESULTS IN FIRST DOWN.

>> AND YOU CANNOT HAVE THESE KINDS OF PLAYS HERE AT THE END.

YOU CAN SEE THEM GOING UP AND SIDEWAYS.

>> NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

15 -YARD PICKUP.

THE BALL, AT THE 27 WITH THAT 15-YARD PENALTY.

IT HAS BEEN A QUIET NIGHT FOR JUJU LEWIS, LOTS OF MISTAKES IN THE FIRST HALF, IT HAS BEEN MORE ABOUT THE RUNNING OF ALBA FOR TONIGHT.

LEWIS, COMPLETE TO KIYUN COFER, AND DOWN, INSIDE THE 20 YARD LINE, DOWN TO THE 19 GOES KIYUN COFER.

>> GOOD BLOCKING ON THE EDGE WITH TAKARE LIPSCOMB.

THE PLAY, TAKING A LONG TIME, THAT IS A WIDE SCREEN.

COFER, GET UP, AND THOSE KINDS OF PLAYS, THAT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE RUNNING GAME, GET THE BALL OUT ON A SOFT CORNER, TO YOUR DEFENSIVE TACKLE.

>> CARROLLTON, DOING A GOOD JOB OF BURNING TIME, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE PLAY OFF.

IT IS OUT, AND ON THE RUN TO THE CORNER, AND TIM MULLINS , HE CANNOT RUN UNDER IT.

WASHINGTON, ON THE COVERAGE.

>> WE REALLY HAVE NOT SEEN THAT ASPECT, MATT, THAT HAS TO DO A LOT, SINCE THE FIRST QUARTER.

AND COACH ZACKERY TALKED ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS HE IS OUT OF THE POCKET.

YOU CAN SEE, KEEPING HIS SHOULDERS UPFIELD, ALMOST COMING UP WITH THAT TOUCHDOWN >> 26 YARDS.

THIRD DOWN AND TWO.

LOW SNAP, AND THAT WILL BE DOWN AT THE 24 YARD LINE.

LEWIS GOT HIS HANDS ON THE BALL, THE PLAY IS DEAD THERE.

LET'S SEE IF THEY TRY A FIELD GOAL HERE.

>> THE BALL NEVER REALLY LEFT THE GROUND.

NICE JOB OF JUST GETTING DOWN ACTUALLY, BY LEWIS.

>> TYPICALLY , IT WILL BE JACOB RUSSELL WHO TAKES THE KICK, HE IS OUT THERE WITH THE BALL.

THEY DIVIDE UP THE KICKING DUTIES BASED ON WHERE THE BALL IS.

AND JACOB RUSSELL WOULD TAKE IT, BUT IT WILL BE RUSSELL TRYING TO KICK THIS ONE.

32-YARD ATTEMPT.

>> IT REALLY IS.

>> WHICH HATCH, WHICH POSITION, WHICH KICK.

GETTING THAT PROTECTION.

>> THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A TIME- OUT, THEY DID NOT HAVE EVERYBODY OUT THERE WHO THEY NEEDED OUT THERE.

SO, WE WILL STEP ASIDE, AS THEY GET THEIR ALIGNMENT STRAIGHTENED OUT AND WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS 42 -YARD FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT BY JACOB RUSSELL WHEN WE COME BACK TO >> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS ON GPB, BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY REGIONS BANK.

GET BACK INTO THE GAME, WITH REGIONS BANK.

ATLANTA.

RUSSELL, TRYING THIS 42-YARD KICK.

EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD, BUT THAT KICK IS WAY OFF THE MARK.

THE SCORE WILL REMAIN 28-19.

SO, GEORGIA EMCs, THEY SURVIVED THAT.

THEY GET READY TO GO BACK OUT ON OFFENSE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE GEORGIA EMCs PLAY OF THE GAME, BROUGHT TO YOU BY DBHDD, WIN BY LEARNING ABOUT THE SAFE USAGE OF PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS.

LAST YEAR, 2021, THAT IS WHEN THEY GOT EATEN BY CARROLLTON, THEY WERE SEMI-FINAL LIST , THEY NEVER WON A STATE SHE HAD A CHIP, THE CLOSER THEY GOT WAS IN 2016 AND 2020, 2014 TO 2020, THEY GO BACK OUT THERE ON OFFENSE, THEY HAVE HAD MORE NFL ALUMNI THAN ALMOST EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE STATE, 12 OF THEM, AS THE PASS IS NEARLY PICKED OFF.

LET'S CHECK THE FLAG HERE.

I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER TAKARE LIPSCOMB OR HILL , PARDON ME, THAT IS HILL OVER THERE.

HE IS MAKING THE ARGUMENT FOR HIS INTERCEPTION.

>> THEY PULLED THE RECEIVER DOWN.

>> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE ON THE DEFENSE, 15-YARD PENALTY.

THAT RESULT IN A FIRST DOWN.

>> THAT IS GOING TO BE FIRST DOWN FOR GEORGIA EMCs.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE RECEIVER THERE, WITH ZION WILLIAMS ON THE GROUND, BEGGING FOR THE CALL FROM THE REFEREE.

>> 160 YARDS PASSING FOR RJ JOHNSON TONIGHT.

UP IN THE AIR.

MAYBE THEY WILL TRY A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE FIELD.

>> DIFFERENT COVERAGE, BACK ON THE BACKEND.

AND JOHNSON REALLY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS MAYBE TRYING TO THROW THAT BALL AWAY.

>> IF YOU ARE GOING TO THROW IT AWAY, MAKE SURE THAT IT GOES OUT OF BOUNDS SO THAT NO ONE CAN CATCH IT.

SECOND DOWN AND 10.

DOWN TO NINE MINUTES LEFT IN REGULATION HERE.

JOHNSON, QUICK OUT.

GOES TO BUTLER, AND BUTLER MAKES THE GRAB, AT 40 AND A HALF.

>> ON THE EDGE IN THIS DRIVE.

JOHNSON PASSES TO THE RIGHT HERE.

NICE JOB BY BUTLER, GOING DOWN , GETTING LOW TO GET THAT PASS.

>> SO, THIS SHOULD BE THIRD DOWN.

THIRD DOWN AND FIVE.

AT THE 45.

COVERAGE OF AT THE TOP, BACK OUT OF IT.

>> JOHNSON, MIXING IT UP.

>> THAT BALL GETS PICKED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

I THINK IT IS MICHAEL BRADEN, THE OUTSIDE LINEBACKER WHO GOT HIS HANDS ON IT.

>> THE TROJANS DEFENSE, NICE JOB THERE, NOT GETTING THE BALL DOWN, WE SAW THAT EARLIER BY HIM, GOOD JOB, HE SEES RJ JOHNSON, RAISING UP.

IT LOOKS LIKE WESTLAKE IS GOING TO GAMBLE AGAIN AND TRY TO PICK IT UP ON FOURTH DOWN.

>> SO, IT IS A LONG , THEY ARE SENSING THEY HAVE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT HERE, I DO NOT DISAGREE WITH THEM.

THEY ARE DOWN TWO SCORES.

AND JOHNSON, SETTING UP, AND THOMAS , YES.

HE WILL BE SWARM TACKLED BACK AT THE 30 YARD LINE, AND THE BALL IS GOING TO GO DOWN TO >> BIG-TIME PLAY .

YOU SEE HIM FLARING OUT, GETTING TO THE OUTSIDE.

THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PULL THEM DOWN, BUT THAT WAS LONG ENOUGH TO LET THE TEAM RALLY TO THE BALL.

NICE JOB BY NUMBER 6 TONIGHT.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT, SMITH HITTING FIRST, AND THAT IT WAS NUMBER 4, MYLES BUTLER GETTING THERE.

AND ALSO JOHN JACOB LEVY GOT IN THERE AS WELL TO FINISH IT OFF.

AND CARROLLTON, WITH ONE SCORE RIGHT HERE , COULD MAYBE PUT THE GAME OUT OF REACH FOR GOOD.

LET'S SEE IF THEY TAKE A SHOT FROM THE 33.

AND KIYUN COFER, IN MOTION, BEHIND THE LINE.

DOUBTS OUT, TAKES.

HICKS, INSIDE THE 30.

DOWN TO THE 26.

BRYCE HICKS GETS CLOSE TO 7, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING, WAYNE.

>> NICE JOB GETTING UP IN THAT LINE QUICKLY, BOUNCING TO THE OUTSIDE.

AND OFF OF THE EDGE, CONTINUING TO SHOW YOU THEY ARE HARD TO BRING DOWN.

ONE OF THOSE GUYS, ALWAYS FALLING FORWARD.

BARELY 170 POUNDS.

>> YOU SAW WITH A WIN TONIGHT, CARROLLTON WILL CLINCH THEIR 32nd ALL-TIME REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, THAT WILL BE THE FIRST IN 7A.

BUMPED UP TO 7A THIS SEASON FROM 6 A.

AND BRYCE HICKS, DOWN TO THE 11.

OLIVER SAVED THE TOUCHDOWN, WITH HIS TACKLE.

>> CAVING, THAT SIDE IS CAVED IN.

GETTING THE BALL.

WATCH HOW QUICKLY HICKS HITS THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

THAT IS THE KEY TO PICKING UP THAT YARDAGE.

>> BACK TO LIVE ACTION, HICKS GETS DROPPED FOR A LOSS THIS TIME, THE NEW LINEBACKER, WITH THE TACKLE.

JAEVIS AMOS.

>> EACH AND EVERY PLAYER, LIKELY, YOU CAN SEE THESE BACKS.

HICKS, EVANS JUST SITTING ON THAT LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

BEFORE THOSE GUYS COME OFF OF THE EDGE.

>> 25 CARRIES FOR 124 YARDS, BRYCE HICKS TONIGHT.

AND HE HAS SCORED THREE TOUCHDOWNS.

HIGH-END IN MOTION.

AND THE THROAT, TO TAKARE LIPSCOMB, HE DROPS IT.

NOT A BAD THING THAT HE DROPPED IT, IF HE HAD CAUGHT IT, THEY WOULD'VE TAKEN A BIG LOSS ON THE PLAY, NOW IT IS GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN.

>> IN THIS CASE, DEFINITELY SAVED HIM PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE YARDS BY DROPPING THAT BALL TO TAKARE LIPSCOMB, AND IF YOU ARE JUJU LEWIS.

YOU REALLY WANT TO THROW THAT BALL AWAY AT THIS POINT.

GET DOWN REALLY QUICK, KEEP THAT CLOCK GOING.

>> HE HAS A LOT OF UPSIDE, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THAT HE ALSO HAS ROOM TO GROW TONIGHT, THIRD DOWN, HE IS GOING TO TOSS IT OVER TO HICKS .

THIS IS A RUNNING PLAY.

HICKS, NOT GOING TO GET THERE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE DROPPED FOR A LOSS.

COMING UP WITH THE TFL, AND IT WILL BE FOURTH DOWN >> JUST TOO SLOW OF A DEVELOPING PLAYWRIGHT THERE.

JUST TAKING TOO LONG WITH THE BALL.

>> YOU KNOW, WAYNE?

THEY ARE TRYING TO MILK THE CLOCK.

WHEN YOU SLOW IT DOWN.

WOULD YOU SLOW DOWN THE TEMPO.

>> Referee: FOURTH DOWN.

>> WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN THE TEMPO AND TRY TO GET OUT OF CHARACTER, IT ONLY HURTS YOU.

>> THEY PLAY IN, EVERYBODY IS STANDING THERE, KIND OF WONDERING.

IN THOSE SITUATIONS, YOU LIKE TO HAVE THAT OFFENSE.

THE SAME EXACT PLAY, YOU KEEP SWITCHING THE FORMATION.

>> FREDDY PEREZ IS GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE.

AND THIS IS ABOUT A 32-YARD ATTEMPT.

TAKING A LOT OF TIME , RUNNING THE PLAY CLOCK DOWN.

THE SNAP IS DOWN, THE KICK IS UP AND THE KICK IS NO GOOD!

THAT , I THOUGHT, MOVED INSIDE THE UPRIGHT.

THE UPRIGHT KEEPS GOING UP THE SPACE.

I THOUGHT HE GOT INSIDE IT, BUT THE OFFICIALS STANDING RIGHT THERE, UNDERNEATH, THEY SAY NO GOOD.

THE SCORE REMAINS 28-19.

>> SO, REALLY CLOSE.

THAT MS. WAS REALLY CLOSE.

AND WESTLAKE , STILL ALIVE, 28- 19.

THEY STILL HAVE GOT TO SCORE TWICE.

TROJANS 'S LAST TWO DRIVES, >> JON NELSON , GETTING UP TO THE LIGHT OF SCRIMMAGE.

>> THEY ARE RUNNING THE BALL HERE.

AND THOMAS, HE WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

THE TACKLE FOR LOSS.

>> 21.

>> ARE YOU SURPRISED THEY RAN THE BALL THERE?

>> THERE IS A PRICE, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT VETERAN QUARTERBACK, YOU HAVE GREAT TALENT IN YOUR RECEIVING CORPS, YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE TWO-MINUTE MODE .

>> YOU HAVE GOT THE SCORE TWICE.

>> YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE BALL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN WITHOUT BURNING TIME-OUT.

>> THEY DO HAVE THREE TIME-OUTS REMAINING, WHICH I AM GUESSING YOU WOULD WANT TO HOLD YOUR BACK POCKET, TO TRY TO GET THE BALL BACK AND THEY WANT TO BURN THEM UP ON OFFENSE, AGAIN, TAKING A LOT OF TIME TO EXECUTE AND GET THIS PLAY OFF.

AND HEAVY RUSH, JOHNSON STEPPED UP, THROWING ON THE RUN, CAUGHT IT AT THE 33.

AND ACTUALLY, THAT IS NUMBER 12, JABARI JONES, UP TO THE 42, HE PICKS UP 23, AND THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN >> WE SAW HIM LEAVE EARLIER.

BUT, NICE JOB , JOHNSON, SETTING UP IN THE POCKET, DELIVERING THE BALL.

AND JONES, GREAT BALANCE AND BODY CONTROL RIGHT HERE FOR HIM.

>> FIRST AND 10.

JOHNSON.

SURVEYING THE FIELD, NOW GOING TO RUN ACROSS THE 50, STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS, WHEN HE GOES TO THAT FIRST DOWN, HE STOPS THE CLOCK.

I THINK THAT WAS AVIEON TERRELL, RUNNING THE GO ROUTE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN.

I THINK THAT IS WHERE THEY WANTED TO GO WITH IT.

>> YOU CAN SEE HIM INITIALLY LOOKING , LOOKING DOWNFIELD.

AT THE END, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT COMMUNICATION.

AS HE WAS COMING BACK TO THE HUDDLE.

>> SECOND DOWN AND ONE, THEY WILL TRY TO PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN HERE.

AND THOMAS WILL GET IT.

THAT WILL STOP THE CLOCK , RESET THE CHAINS .

>> THEY ARE NOT REALLY GETTING UP TO THE LINE.

>> THEY HAVE GOT TO MOVE FASTER.

>> WHAT YOU NEED IS THE SCORE AND THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION.

I AM NOT REALLY SURE WHY YOU'RE NOT MOVING AT A FASTER PACE.

THE CLOCK IS RUNNING.

>> BALL AT THE JOHNSON, ROLLING TO HIS LEFT, LOOKING DOWNFIELD, THE PAST.

FLAG OUT, RUNNING DOWN THE SIDELINE, HE MIGHT BE COMING BACK.

26-YARD PICKUP, IT MIGHT BE ERASED HERE.

>> Referee: HOLDING , OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY.

REPLAY FIRST DOWN.

>> THAT WIPES OUT THAT 26-YARD CATCH .

>> GOOD ROLL OUT TO THE LEFT, DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE SAW, BACK TO THE TIGHT END HERE, RODRECAS ROUSE , HOLDING ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> THE BALL HAS BEEN THROWN TO SEVEN DIFFERENT RECEIVERS, HE HAS GONE OVER 8000 YARDS FOR HIS CAREER.

TRYING TO LEAD THEM TO THIS BIG FOURTH QUARTER COMEBACK.

THEY ARE DOWN NINE WITH 3:23 TO GO.

THE PENALTY PUTS THE BALL BACK AT THE 40.

COMING UP THE MIDDLE , RODRECAS ROUSE.

THOMAS THROWS.

JUMP BALL, KNOCKED DOWN.

KNOCKING THE BALL DOWN, THE BIG FRESHMAN PUTTING THE HIT AS HE DELIVERED THE PAST DOWNFIELD.

>> JOHNSON AND THOMPSON, BOTH IN MAKE AVIEON TERRELL MAKE THAT PLAY.

BIG-TIME PRESSURE.

AND RJ JOHNSON HAD TO ABSORB THAT PRESSURE TO GET THAT BALL OFF.

>> NUMBER 52, SITTING THERE AT THE NOSE POSITION.

A FRESHMAN, 6'3", 290 POUNDS, HE WILL BE A PROSPECT.

HEAVY RUSH AGAIN.

SETTING UP THE SCREEN, AND INTERCEPTED.

AND THE BALL IS INTERCEPTED BY CARROLLTON, AND THAT MIGHT DO IT.

HE'LL COMES UP WITH THE INTERCEPTION THAT DEFLECTS IT BACK.

>> HOT POTATO HERE.

THE BALL, INITIALLY OFF OF THOMPSON'S HANDS, AND THEN FINDS ITS WAY INTO KELVIN HILL 'S HANDS, TRYING TO GET THAT BALL OUT, BUT A LITTLE SCREENPLAY, OUT ON THE EDGE, THIS WESTLAKE OFFENSE, TYPICALLY THEY HAVE BEEN INFLICTING WOUNDS TONIGHT.

>> THAT JUST MIGHT BE IT.

CARROLLTON, ONE MORE SCORE HERE, THEY MAY PUT IT AWAY IF THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY.

KELVIN HILL, COMING UP WITH ANOTHER BIG GAME.

AND BRYCE HICKS WILL TAKE A LOSS ON THE PLAY.

THEY ARE NOT REALLY TOO CONCERNED WITH THAT.

AND MAKING THAT TACKLE , BRINGING UP SECOND DOWN.

>> FIRST DOWN OR NOT, YOU WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HOLD ON TO THE BALL.

TRY TO GET WESTLAKE TO BURN ONE OR TWO TIME-OUTS, YOU CAN SEE, THEY ARE TAKING UP ALL OF THE TIME HERE.

TRYING TO RUN THE NEXT PLAY.

>> I THINK THEY WILL HAVE TO CALL A TIME-OUT, AFTER THIS NEXT PLAY.

HAPPY TO GET THOSE YARDS AND CALL THEM.

>> Referee: THE FIRST TIME-OUT OF THE HALF, TIME-OUT.

>> HICKS, 117 YARDS IN TOTAL OFFENSE, LET'S CHECK IN WITH HANNAH TO FIND OUT WHAT IS COMING UP IN POST GAME.

>> WE ALREADY HEARING FROM COACHES THAT THEY WILL CALL IN AFTER THEY STEP OFF THE FIELD, OR ON THE BUS, HEADING OVER MY ACCOUNT IN A COUPLE OF FINALS ARE YOU, TAKING THE TOP SPOT, CALHOUN, WITH THAT 28-13 ENACT OVERDONE, URBAN GETS , THAT 2021 STATE CHAMPION.

IRWIN COUNTY, 19-7, THAT IS IN REGION ONE , MORE FOR YOU, MILL CREEK, 54-0.

>> THANK YOU, CATCHING UP ON ALL OF THOSE SCORES, COMING UP HERE, IT LOOKS LIKE CARROLLTON IS CLOSING IN ON THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, MATHEMATICALLY, THEY NEED TO LOCK IT DOWN, THEY NEED TO LOCK DOWN THE NUMBER ONE SEED WITH A WIN.

ANNA CAMPBELL LOSS.

JOEY KING , AT CARTERSVILLE, HE HAD A GREAT RUN, TWO STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

WHAT HE HAS DONE HERE AT CARROLLTON, EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE, 21-2 , HIS RECORD WITH THE TROJANS, AFTER TONIGHT.

THIRD DOWN AND 10.

THE OFFICIALS STEP IN AND BLOW THE PLAY DEAD BEFORE THEY COULD SNAP IT AT THE END.

>> AFTER THE TIME-OUT.

YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE THAT CARROLLTON WILL RUN THE BALL.

KEEP IT IN THE BACKFIELD.

RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE EVANS IN THE GAME.

>> WILLIAMS IS GOING TO THROW, SURPRISED THEY WILL DO THAT.

THAT IS AN INCOMPLETE PLAY, OUT OF BOUNDS, REALLY SURPRISED, WHY NOT JUST HAND THE BALL OFF , AND MAKE WEST LAKE BURN ANOTHER TIME-OUT, IT IS GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

>> ROLLING OUT TO THE RIGHT, AND NOT REALLY SURE WHY NOT .

>> I THINK AFTER MISSING THE FIELD GOAL, THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT, IT IS A LITTLE OUT OF FIELD GOAL RANGE.

>> DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE JUST RUN THE BALL, MAKE THEM BURN ANOTHER TIME-OUT, TAKE ANOTHER COUPLE OF SECONDS OFF THE CLOCK.

>> ANYWAY , FOURTH DOWN AND 10, AND GOING FOR THE END ZONE, THAT IS INTERCEPTED , THEY CALL PASS INTERFERENCE , HE WILL STEP OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> FOR RALL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT GET ANOTHER CHANCE IN THIS PLAY, YOU CAN SEE, TIGHT COVERAGE, EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO GET THE BALL TO THE EDGE.

THEY ARE NOT HAVING IT.

>> NOBODY IS THROWING THE BALL.

>> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE ON DEFENSE, RESULTS IN A FIRST DOWN.

>> THAT FIRST DOWN BY THERE, THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO FINALLY PUT THIS ONE TO BED.

IT WAS CLEARLY PAST INTERFERENCE BITTER, FEEDING THAT PASS DOWNFIELD.

>> YOU ASK AVIEON TERRELL, HE WILL SAY THAT HE HAD HIS HEAD DOWN, 50 FOR THE BALL, THEY WERE BOTH TRYING FOR THE BALL.

>> HE WOULD BE GOOD AT CLEMSON, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HIS BROTHER AJ JARRELL, FIRST- ROUND DRAFT PICK OF THE ATLANTA FALCONS.

A BIG PLAYER IN THE FALCONS VICTORY OVER THE 49ers ON SUNDAY, AND PLAYING THAT AFC CHAMPIONS THIS WEEKEND.

FIRST AND 10, BALL INSIDE THE >> Referee: FALSE START, OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

FIRST DOWN.

>> DIFFICULTY THERE.

BUT , YOU HAVE GOT TO BELIEVE BUT JUST HAND THE BALL OFF AND KILL THE CLOCK.

CELEBRATE THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THE GAME WITH THOSE TWO OR THREE PLAYS, THESE LAST COUPLE OF PLAYS HERE, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE BEHIND , TRYING TO GET INTO THE GAME.

>> MAKING IT HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE, FIRST AND 15 NOW, THE HANDOFF GOES TO HICKS.

DANCING AROUND, IT GETS DOWN ON THE GROUND AT THE 25 AND WESTLAKE, LET'S SEE IF THEY BURN A TIME-OUT HERE, THEY DO.

THEY HAVE ONE LEFT.

WESTLAKE, SECOND TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

TIME-OUT >> SO CARROLLTON, 1:54 SECONDS AWAY FROM IMPROVING TO 9-0 ON THE SEASON AND WESTLAKE WILL DROP TO 5-3.

EFFECTIVELY, CARROLLTON WILL WRAP UP THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE TONIGHT.

LET'S CHECK IN WITH JON NELSON.

>> MATT, LET'S RUN THROUGH SOME FINAL SCORES , APPLING COUNTY WAS UP 14-13, THEY WON THAT 34- 13 BID ALSO ON THE BOARD, BENEDICTINE , THEY WON, AND THE BIG WINNER OVER COLUMBUS BY 42.

A COUPLE OF STONERS THAT I WANT TO GET IN BEFORE THE POSTGAME SHOW, NORTHSIDE WARNER ROBINS THEY WERE DOWN IN THE FOURTH, THEY CAME BACK TO WIN WHEN HE 3- 20.

THE OTHER STUNNER , IT WAS CAMDEN COUNTY OVER VALDOSTA BY THE SCORE OF 21 14, AND REGION ONE, 7A, ONCE AGAIN, VERY , VERY INTERESTING.

>> GOOD STUFF, NELLY, LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING UP ON ALL OF THOSE SCORES COMING UP IN THE POST GAME SHOW.

ONE TIME-OUT IS REMAINING FOR WESTLAKE HERE, AND A HAND UP GOES TO CAMDEN.

LET'S SEE IF THEY BURN THE LAST TIME-OUT, THAT , ON THE TACKLE WAS HARPER HOLLOMAN.

THEY HAVE NOT CALLED THE TIME- OUT YET, THEY HAVE TO MEASURE WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT.

NOW, THEY HAVE CALLED IT.

>> Referee: TIME-OUT, WESTLAKE, THEIR THIRD AND FINAL TIME-OUT OF THE HALF.

>> SO, CARROLLTON, GREAT HISTORY AS WE TOLD YOU.

THEY HAVE WON SEVEN STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST SINCE 1998, GREAT ROSTER OF COACHES, WITH JOEY KING FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MANY GREAT COACHES, CHARLIE GRISHAM, OF COURSE, THE STADIUM IS NAMED AFTER HIM WHY NOT?

HE WON FIVE STATE TITLES, 261 GAMES, CLOSE TO A 30-YEAR CAREER, SCOTT, 143 WINS, HE WON SIX REGION TITLES, RAYMOND , FIVE REGION TITLES, SEAN CONLON, NOW THE HEAD COACH AT CRAWFORD COUNTY, AFTER LEAVING CARROLLTON, NOW HE IS BACK IN THE STATE, WITH CRAWFORD COUNTY, TWO REGION TITLES.

AND JOEY KING, GETTING ON THAT LIST, HE IS GOING TO BE 21-2 IN HIS CAREER AS THE TROJANS HEAD COACH AFTER TONIGHT.

STRONG TEAM, MAKING A RUN FOR THE PLAYOFF BID AND NEXT YEAR, YOU LOOK AT THE GROUPINGS, THERE ARE A LOT OF IMPACTFUL FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, AND JUNIORS, DOING THE WORK ON YOUR TEAM.

>> SO, THIRD DOWN .

THIRD DOWN.

AND, THE SHORT RUN BY EVANS.

IT IS GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

WEST LAKE HAS NO MORE TIME-OUTS TO STOP THE CLOCK.

>> CARROLLTON, MOST LIKELY THEY WILL RUN THE CLOCK, THEY DO NOT WANT TO GIVE WESTLAKE ANY KIND OF MOMENTUM .

JUST HOLD.

GET THAT TIME EATEN UP ON >> TIME, RUNNING DOWN.

FOURTH DOWN, THEY WILL GO TO THE AIR, AND IT WOULD BE CAUGHT INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE BY CALEB ODOM.

THAT WILL GIVE THEM THE FIRST DOWN AND THAT WILL EFFECTIVELY END THE GAME.

>> OUT ON THE EDGE , AND IT IS NOT AVIEON TERRELL IN COVERAGE.

THIS TIME, HAVING THE CHANCE TO COME UP WITH A PLATE AND END THE GAME IS CALEB ODOM.

>> THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TRY TO SCORE, THEY DON'T NEED TO.

THEY DON'T NEED TO RUB IT IN, THEY WILL JUST TAKE THE KNEE AND THAT WILL DO IT.

THE TEAMS WILL SHAKE HANDS AND HEAD HOME.

CARROLLTON CLINCHES THEIR 32nd REGION CHAMPIONSHIP IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

THAT IS THEIR THIRD IN FOUR YEARS, WITH THE 28-19 VICTORY HERE TONIGHT.

THEY IMPROVED TO 9-0 IN THEIR FIRST SEASON IN 7A.

ANOTHER BIG WIN FOR JOEY KING.

TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS, REGION AND A STATE, CHECK THE BOX , WAYNE, ON THE REGION TITLE.

>> DATE JOB COMING OUT WITH A LOT OF ENERGY.

THEY HAD THAT OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION , THE DEFENSE REALLY SHOWED UP TONIGHT, IT WAS MORE OF A BEND BUT DON'T BREAK PHILOSOPHY, THE DEFENSE, COMING UP WITH SOME TURNOVERS.

GREAT JOB, ESPECIALLY BY THE RUNNING BACK, BRYCE HICKS, MAKING THOSE BIG PLAYS AND SCORING THOSE TOUCHDOWNS.

>> THE TROJANS, THEY ARE NOW 9- 0, 3-0 IN THE REGION, NOBODY CAN CATCH THEM AFTER TONIGHT.

AND WESTLAKE DROPS TO 5-3, THEY WILL TRY TO LOCKDOWN THE NUMBER TWO SEED.

THEY HAVE A BIG GAME COMING UP NEXT, THAT IS A GAME THAT WILL LIKELY DECIDE WHO END UP BEING THE NUMBER TWO OR THE THREE SIDE SEED IN THE REGION, AND CARROLLTON, THEY WOULD BE THE FIRST SEED GOING INTO THE PLAYOFFS, YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY ALL OF YOUR TEAMS AT HOME, AND CERTAINLY, FROM THERE ON OUT, IT IS A POSSIBLE POINT FLIT.

SO 28-19 , CARROLLTON, THE WIN.

THAT TURNS INTO THE BRYCE HICKS AND CALEB ODOM SHOW.

>> STAR FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK, JUJU LEWIS, NOT REALLY INTO TONIGHT, BUT A RUNNING PERFORMANCE WITH THAT LINE WITH BRYCE HICKS, ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.

THOSE SCORING OPPORTUNITIES DOWN IN THE RED ZONE, AND HARD BETWEEN TACKLES FOR THAT YOUNG MAN RIGHT NOW.

120 YARDS TONIGHT.

>> THREE TOUCHDOWNS, BIG NIGHT FOR BRYCE HICKS.

HAVING HIMSELF ANOTHER BIG SEASON AND HEADING OVER FOR THE ULTIMATE HONOR.

A CHANCE TO TALK TO JON NELSON.

>> ALL RIGHT, I GUESS THE HONOR IS ALL MINE.

THE PLAYER OF THE GAME, THE NATURAL CHOICE FOR GEORGIA.

WHAT WAS STUDY HALL LIKE THE ONE YOU DID THIS WEEK, KNOWING THAT THOSE LINES, ESPECIALLY THE DEFENSIVE LINE WAS AS BIG AS IT WAS WHEN YOU WERE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO DOMINATE THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE?

>> WE PLAYED A LOT OF GOOD DEFENSIVE LINE, BUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE WAS STOPPED EVERY TIME.

>> WITH YOUR LINE, THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD FOR YOU ALL SEASON LONG.

BEHIND THOSE GUYS?

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WELL OF YOUR OFFENSIVE LINE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL TALLER THAN YOU AND BIGGER THAN YOU.

WHAT WAS IT LIKELY >> THEY WERE AWESOME.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS GOOD.

>> YOU GOT ANOTHER REGION TITLE.

I KNOW THAT IS ONLY PART OF WHAT YOU ARE CHASING OVER THIS YEAR, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK TO WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO?

>> BEING ABLE TO OVERCOME IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON.

EVERYBODY SAID WE WERE TOO YOUNG, THAT WE WERE NOT TO BE GOOD, BUT WE ARE DOING GOOD IN THE SEASON SO FAR.

WE NEED TO KEEP WORKING.

>> CLOSE TO 100 YARDS ON THE GROUND, BRYCE HICKS, YOU ARE THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME, TAG OUT WITH YOUR COACH, CONGRATULATIONS.

AND NOW, JOEY KING, COME ON IN, OUTSIDE OR COACH KING, THE HEAD COACH FOR THE CARROLLTON TROJANS, CONGRATULATIONS.

>> VERY BLESSED.

THE NECK WE DID THE MATH, 32nd IN SCHOOL HISTORY.

COMING INTO THIS ONE, YOU KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE A TOUGH ONE, BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE, GOING UP AGAINST YOUR SPEED, THAT IS AN INTERESTING DICHOTOMY.

>> THAT IS VERY TRUE, AND COACH ZACKERY DID ONE HECKUVA JOB, THOSE GUYS ARE REALLY PHYSICAL.

YOU KNOW, GETTING AFTER IT, WE MADE PLAYS DOWN THE STRETCH BUT THE RUNNING GAME, THEY PROVED TO BE BENEFICIAL.

AND THE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYED REALLY WELL ALL NIGHT LONG AND GAVE US A SHOT.

>> AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE BEEN PRONE TO MAKE MISTAKES, BUT THAT IS ALL PART OF THE LEARNING CURVE.

>> WHEN YOU GET TO LEARN FROM THAT, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SEE HIM LEARN IN REAL TIME, WHAT ABOUT LEARNING IN REAL TIME?

>> I THINK YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB, BUT IN THE SECOND HALF, HE HAD TO RECOMPOSE HIMSELF, YOU KNOW, TAKE WHAT THEY GIVE YOU, A LOT OF TIMES, THESE GUYS, THEY PRESS, YOU DO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF.

I THINK HE DID THAT WELL IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SEASON SO FAR, I KNOW THERE IS A LOT THAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH, THERE IS A LOT THAT THE CARROLLTON COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH, BUT WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AS A TEAM ?

YOU CAN RATE YOURSELF ON WHATEVER SCALE YOU WANT.

>> WE ARE 1-THROUGH THIS WEEK, WE ARE GOING TO GATHER OURSELVES UP AND TRY TO BE 1-0 NEXT WEEK.

>> THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF IT.

THAT IS JOEY KING, WINAMAC , WINNER, GET READY FOR THAT POST GAME SHOW, BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF VERY BIG SCORES THAT HAVE HAPPENED AROUND THE STATE, LET'S SET IT BACK.

THAT IS HOW YOU BECOME 9-0.

THERE WERE SOME SHOCKING RESULTS IN SOUTH GEORGIA THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

WE CAN GET INTO NORTHSIDE, LEE COUNTY, WE CAN GET INTO WHAT IS GOING ON IN REGION 1 7A.

A LOSS TONIGHT AGAINST CRAWFORD COUNTY, BUT THE BIG RESULT, REGARDLESS OF CLASS, COMES TO US FROM CAMDEN COUNTY, CAMDEN COUNTY GETS THE WIN TONIGHT IN REGION 1 7A, A LOT OF FOLKS THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A HORSE RACE BETWEEN CAMDEN COUNTY AND VALDOSTA.

THE AND SAND IN THE GEARS, WE HAVE IRWIN COUNTY AND BROOKS, GETTING INTO REGION PLAY.

IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT NIGHT ON THE POST GAME SHOW.

THE FIRST STOP, THE GUY WHO PLAYED LAST NIGHT, HE GOT A BIG WIN IN REGION PLAY, THE HEAD COACH OF THE BULLDOGS, COACH, THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US AT THE POST GAME SHOW.

YOU GOT TO WATCH EVERYBODY ELSE FOR A CHANGE.

>> GO BACK TO LAST NIGHT FOR ME.

THE BIG BATTLE, ONE VERSUS TWO, DOHERTY, UNBEATEN , BIG WIN FOR YOU GUYS, WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT GET ANY CHANCE TO SEE IT?

>> WELL, SOUTH GEORGIA FOOTBALL GAMES, WE PLAYED REALLY WELL, OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.

SPECIAL TEAMS, BUT OUR KIDS, YOU KNOW SEPTEMBER THE 9th WE WERE 1-3, WE HAD JUST PLAYED BAINBRIDGE.

IF YOU TOLD ME THAT WE WOULD'VE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, THAT WOULD HAVE FELT SPECIAL.

ARE SINNERS, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THEIR THIRD REGION CHAMPIONSHIP, SO, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD NOT DONE IT IN A WHILE, THE LAST TWO YEARS, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAD NOT BEEN DONE SINCE '03 AND '04.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS BUNCH, WITH YOU NOW AS HEAD COACH, WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR YOU AS THE BIG BOSS ON THE SIDELINES FOR THAT LEGENDARY PROGRAM DOWN THERE IN THOMASVILLE?

>> IT HAS BEEN A GREAT EXTENT KEEP YOUR COMPOSURE.

AND, THE TRADITION, YOU KNOW, NEVER GRADUATES.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE RELATIVES THAT PLAY, AND THEY JUST UNDERSTAND WHAT THOMASVILLE FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT, AND FINDING OUT ABOUT WHERE CERTAIN PIECES FIT, AND PLAYING WELL TOGETHER.

THAT IS WHEN I SAY, WE PLAYED A BUNCH OF THINGS WITH SOME REALLY GOOD PLAYERS, BUT RECENTLY, WE HAVE REALLY BEEN PLAYING SOME TEAM FOOTBALL, AND THAT HAS REALLY PAID OFF FOR US.

>> HANNAH GOODIN , I THINK HAS A QUESTION.

WE'LL SEE IF HANNAH 'S TECHNICIAN, IF HER TECHNICAL GEAR IS FUNCTIONING.

WELL, NO, YOU STILL HAVE GREMLINS.

I GET THE THIRD QUESTION WITH YOU.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RUNNING, COACH , I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE STILL CHASING REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR RUN IN, AND WHAT DO YOU SEE FOR THE LAST HANDFUL OF GAMES AT THE BUSINESS END HERE?

>> LAST NIGHT, WE CLINCHED THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.

WE ARE CRISP, NEXT WEEK, THAT IS A VERY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM, OUR APPROACH TO THAT IS GOING TO BE PLAYOFF REALM FOR US, YOU KNOW, WE ARE LOOKING TO GO 1-0 AT THE END OF NEXT FRIDAY, IF YOU WANT TO GO ON THAT SIX-GAME RUN, THAT IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE EACH AND EVERY WEEK.

BE 1-0 AT THE END OF EVERY WEEK.

>> JONATHAN DELAY, HEAD COACH OF THE THOMASVILLE BULLDOGS.

HE HAD THE NIGHT OFF AND GOT TO WATCH EVERYONE ELSE.

NOW, WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE BULLDOGS.

THANK YOU FOR HANGING OUT.

>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.

>> JONATHAN DELAY, BIG WIN AGAINST THE TROJANS OF DOHERTY LAST NIGHT, SO ONCE AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN REALLY BIG WORK FOR HIM, IT IS FIRST YEAR AS HEAD COACH WITH THE THOMASVILLE BULLDOGS.

WE WANT TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF SCORES BEFORE WE LINEUP OUR NEXT COACH, IT HAS BEEN A BIG EVENING ACROSS THE BOARD, BUT IT COMES TO ALL OF THE GAMES, MENTION APPLING, IT WAS 14-30, THAT ONE EVOLVED INTO A 34 TO 13 WIN FOR APPLING COUNTY, BIG OFFENSIVE LINE, AND WE ARE SEEING WHAT THEY ARE ABLE TO DO, THEY ARE JUST MAULING FOLKS, AND JEFFERSON, A BIG WIN OVER LOGANVILLE, 42-6.

DUBLIN, RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH, WINNING OVER JEFFERSON COUNTY.

WE HAD ROGER ON THE POST GAME SHOW A COUPLE OF TIMES, UP-AND- DOWN SEASON.

NEXT COACH ON THE LINE, IT IS CARVER ATLANTA COACH DARREN MILES, THANK YOU FOR HANGING OUT WITH US ON THE POST GAME SHOW.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> ALL RIGHT, BREAKDOWN YOUR GAME, WHAT WENT DOWN WITH CARVER ATLANTA, WHAT YOU FOLKS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT?

>> WE PLAYED GOOD DEFENSE.

THE BIGGEST THING, THE BIGGEST THING THAT HAPPENED TONIGHT, IS THAT WE ELIMINATED SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAD THE WEEK BEFORE.

AND WE ALSO EXECUTED , WE EXECUTED AT A BETTER LEVEL THAN WE DID LAST WEEK.

WE FINISHED DRIVES AND OVERALL, WE PLAYED A GREAT GAME.

>> HANNAH GOODIN, LET'S CHECK OUT YOUR TECHNOLOGY AND GREMLINS, WHAT IS GOING ON?

>> MI BACK?

IT CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> HEY, HANNAH.

>> AM I BACK?

OH, I AM HERE, COACH DARREN MYLES.

YOU LAST GAME OF THE SEASON.

I CANNOT EVEN BELIEVE I AM SAYING THAT THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON AGAINST CEDAR GROVE, WHAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON IN THE WEEK OFF?

>> , WE WILL WORK ON TRYING TO PLAY AS CLOSE TO PERFECT FOOTBALL AS WE CAN, DEFTLY WORK ON INCREASING OUR PHYSICALITY, NOT TO SAY THAT WE ARE NOT PHYSICAL, BUT WE KNOW WE WILL BE IN A PHYSICAL MATCHUP, WE NEED TO WORK ON ELIMINATING EXPLOSIVE PLAYS .

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE AIRTIGHT ON SPECIAL TEAMS AND PARTICULARLY ON PUNTS AND KICKOFFS , WE NEED TO DO A GOOD JOB OF RETURNING WAYNE GANDY.

AND DEFENSIVELY , WE WILL NEED TO TRY TO CONTAIN THEM.

YOU KNOW, THEY PLAYED AGAINST US LAST YEAR, BUT THEY KNOW HOW TO MOVE THAT BALL AS WELL, AND AS WELL AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE A GOOD OVERALL TEAM.

WE ARE GOING TO BE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE WE NEED TO GET SOME GUYS OUT , WE NEED TO BE HEALED UP AND READY TO GO IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> GOOD LUCK IN THAT GAME, COACH, KEEP THEM SAFE.

>> YES, MA'AM , HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

>> THANK YOU, TOO.

ALL RIGHT, I AM BACK IN ACTION, REGION 5 , WHAT IS GOING ON IN THAT REGION?

IT >> WELL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT CARVER ATLANTA, THEY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE RANKED TEAMS, ALL SEASON LONG, AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT DARREN MYLES HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO, THEY ARE THE KIND OF GROUP, ONCE AGAIN, WE COME ACROSS THESE , THEY WANT TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES AND BE READY FOR REGION PLAY.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MANY REGIONS.

SANDY CREEK , YOU COME OUT, YOU LOSE THAT ONE BY 10, YOU COME BACK WITH A WIN AGAINST DOUGLAS.

BUT YOU GET THE BYE WEEK TO GET READY FOR CEDAR GROVE .

THIS IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST REGIONS.

AND IT IS A TOUGH MANY REGIONS IN THE GALATA, CEDAR GROVE, CARVER CREEK, DOUGLAS.

THAT IS THE REGION YOU ARE STARING AT COMING INTO TONIGHT, SANDY CREEK, CEDAR GROVE, THEY ARE PLAYING ON THE OTHER END OF THE REGION, THEY CAME IN AT 1- 3, 70 WILL END UP AT 1-1, CARVER GETS THE WIN, THEY ARE BACK IN THE DISCUSSION WITH THE BYE WEEK, THEY ARE GETTING READY FOR DECISION DATE, WHEN THEY HAVE CEDAR GROVE.

AND IT IS JUST REALLY TOUGH TO GAUGE THIS ONE.

YOU ONLY HAVE FOUR TEAMS IN THIS REGION AND THREE REGION GAMES, YOU WILL SEE SOMEONE WHO IS 1-2, HE WAS A 0-3.

EACH OF THESE TEAMS IS GOING TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, AND THE SEATING, AND YOU KNOW THAT MAY NOT ALIGN WITH THE TRUTH OF WHAT THEY HAVE ADDED NEW IN SCHEDULING ALL OF THESE GAMES, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT RIVERDALE, STEPHENSON, BUFORD, REMEMBER, THEY HAD A LEAD AGAINST BUFORD BEFORE LOSING 44-16, AND THEN, BUFORD SCORED 28 STRAIGHT , YOU ARE A PEACH COUNTY, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WE HAD HIM TRIED TO GET INTO REGION PLAY, TOUGH SLEDDING FOR EACH OF THE TEAMS IN THIS REGION, HANNAH.

>> THANKS, ANNA CHILLY NIGHT AROUND THE STATE, IF YOU WERE JOINING US, WE HAD CARROLLTON VERSUS WESTLAKE, TROJANS WIN 28-19, THIS COMING FRIDAY, NEXT FRIDAY, WE WILL HAVE RIGHT HERE ON GPB, LANGSTON HUGHES VERSUS SOUTH SPALDING, AND WE HAVE COACH DANIEL BOONE WILLIAMS ON THE LINE RIGHT NOW 41-0, BIG REGION 5 6 A, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO GO 5-SO IN REGION PLAY?

>> THANK YOU, I CHALLENGED THE BOYS ALL WEEK.

WE WERE COMING OFF THE BYE WEEK.

AND WE REALLY WANTED TO HONE IN ON EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED TO WORK ON, AND TRIED TO GET THAT SCORE, AND YOU KNOW, GET THOSE DEFENSIVE STOPS .

THEY DO WHAT AND I CHALLENGED THEM ALL WEEK LONG.

>> COACH, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS , I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE DEMONS A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS A VERY VERY SMALL NUMBER, IF YOUR LAST FIVE GAMES, IF MY MATH IS RIGHT, YOU HAVE ONLY GIVEN UP A TOTAL OF 10 POINTS, WHAT ABOUT THIS DEFENSE HAS KEPT THEM TO TASK, WHERE YOU RUN THE TABLE AND NOT GIVING UP A WHOLE LOT OF POINTS AFTER THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF GAMES WHERE YOU HAD TO SCHEDULE UP AGAINST SPARTANBURG?

>> YOU KNOW, WE USED THOSE AS BUILDING BLOCKS FOR WHERE WE ARE NOW.

WE KNOW THAT WE KIND OF MESSED THAT UP A LITTLE EARLY IN THE SEASON, WE NEED TO SHIFT IN A CHANGE AND RIGHT NOW, THE DEFENSIVE LINE IS PLAYING GOOD BALL.

AND THEY ARE CHALLENGING EACH OTHER, THEY WANT THAT NUMBER TO GO LOWER, YOU KNOW SO THEY ARE REALLY REALLY PLAYING FOR EACH OTHER, RALLYING TO THE BALL, NOT MAKING A TON OF MISTAKES, AND MAKING SURE THE PLAYS ARE COMPLETED.

THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> COACH, WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE SHOWDOWN NEXT FRIDAY ON GPB.

>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE 7:30, LANGSTON HUGHES.

NEXT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 7:30 P.M. AND, JON NELSON, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS MATCHUP ?

IT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE REGION BATTLE ?

>> COMING INTO TONIGHT , WE MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE 23 BATTLES , WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH POSITION WOULD BE, FOR SEEDING.

RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE FIVE TO FOUR, YOU HAVE SOUTH SPALDING COMING IN EACH AT 4-0.

>> AND , WE JUST LOST JON NELSON.

WHAT A FUN NIGHT OF TECHNICAL LIVE PICKUPS ON THE POST GAME SHOW BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

THAT IS OUR WEB GAME NEXT WEEK , TOO, THAT IS GOING TO BE COOK VERSUS FITZGERALD, REGION 1 2 A RIGHT HERE ON GPB, YOU CAN ALWAYS WATCH IT AT GPB.ORG/SPORTS, STRAINING ON THE APP, THAT IS THE GPB SPORTS APP .

DO NOT FORGET TO DOWNLOAD THAT.

WE HAVE , WHILE WE WAIT FOR JON NELSON, WE HAVE ANOTHER COACH, CALHOUN, CLAY STEPHENSON.

THEY PLAYED DALTON, BEAT THEM WHEN HE ATE-13, REGION 7 5.NET A, COACH, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WIN.

>> IT WAS A BIG WIN.

WE PLAYED HARD, WE WERE 0-3 AT HOME COMING INTO THE GAME, SO GETTING THAT FIRST HOME WIN WAS BIG.

YOU KNOW, AND LIKE THE FIRST GAME OR THE EIGHT-GAME, IT NEVER MATTERS, OUR TEAM WAS FIRED UP, THE FANS WERE REAL LOUD AND YOU KNOW, THE KIDS PLAYED HARD FROM START TO FINISH.

>> UR 3 ITEM 1, YOUR LAST GAME WILL BE NEXT FRIDAY, PREVIEW THAT ONE, AND TELL ME HOW THIS MATCHUP AFFECTS THE REGIONAL STANDINGS?

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT KIDS, AND WE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OVER THERE.

SO, YOU THE WAY IT SHAKES OUT, WE WANT TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

WE WANT TO WIN.

SO NEXT WEEK .

GO TO REGION CHAMPIONS, I THINK ALL FOUR TEAMS ARE ALREADY SET.

>> JON NELSON , A QUESTION FOR YOU, TOO.

>> MY QUESTION FOR YOU, COACH, THIS IS A QUESTION I LIKE TO ASK A LOT OF THE COACHES AS WE GET TOWARDS THE END OF SEASON TWO, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, WHAT YOU THINK YOU NEED TO WORK ON HERE WITH TWO GAMES LEFT IN THE REGULAR SEASON?

THEY ARE BOTH AT HOME.

YOU HAVE ONE GAME LEFT, YOU HAVE ONE LEFT AT HOME, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO WORK ON STILL, AND TO GET TO THE END OF THE REGULAR SEASON FOR YOU?

AT NUMBER ONE, I LOVE THE TEAM RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A TON THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE HAD THREE HOME GAMES THAT WERE TOUGH, AND THEN THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK HARD.

AND THIS WEEK, WE NEED TO BE READY.

WE NEED TO BE READY FOR THE REGION CHAMPIONS GAME.

WE NEED TO KEEP RUNNING THE FOOTBALL, WE RAN FOR 427 YARD, AND WILLIAMS, RAN FOR ABOUT 251 YARDS.

IF WE CAN JUST KEEP THAT UP, AND WE HAD LIMITED TURNOVERS, WE WILL NOT GIVE THEM ANY CHANCE.

>> COACH, OVER YOUR SHOULDER, YOU HAVE TRADE SECRETS, IS THAT A TRICK PLAY YOU HAVE?

>> WELL YES, IT IS A SET UP, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT IS JUST A SET UP.

>> I WILL SCREENSHOT THAT BID GOOD JOB NEXT FRIDAY, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, COACH.

ALL RIGHT, WE WILL TAKE A QUICK BREAK, WE HAVE MORE COACHES CALLING IN.

STICK WITH US, THIS IS THE POST GAME SHOW RIGHT HERE ON GPB SPORTS.

>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA ON GPB, PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND REMINDING YOU TO BE SAFE ON EVERY TRIP.

BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

>> WELCOME BACK TO FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA, THE POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.

REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE REGION 2 CARROLLTON AND WESTLAKE, THE TROJANS PULLED OUT 28-19, THEY WIN THEIR 32nd REGION TITLE.

THIS ONE WAS ALL TROJANS.

QUARTERBACK JUJU LEWIS DID NOT HAVE HIS BEST STUFF.

BUT BRYCE HICKS WAS OUTSTANDING, THREE TOUCHDOWNS, WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THE LIONS DEN?

>> THE BIGGEST THING, WHEN WE GOT TO TALK TO COACH KING, BEFORE WE GOT TO THE POST GAME SHOW, TO SEE SOMEONE LIKE JUJU LEWIS LEARNING IN REAL TIME, WE MENTIONED IT IN THE OPEN, WE MENTIONED ABOUT JOEY KING, BEING THAT QUARTERBACK, AN ANCHOR FOR YOU FOR THE NEXT THREE POSTSEASONS AFTER THAT, THE LAST THAT HE DID IT, HE DID HAVE A FAIRLY DECENT QUARTERBACK IN TREVOR LAWRENCE, THE SIMILARITIES ARE THERE.

TO SEE SOMEONE WHO IS A FRESHMAN.

THEY ARE LEARNING IN REAL TIME.

AND YOU ARE SEEING THE THROWS THAT ARE BEING MADE, THE DECISIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE, AND THEY ARE LEARNING FROM ALL OF THAT, TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AS FRESHMEN.

TO SEE THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, IT WAS KIND OF NEAT TO SEE HOW HE IS LEARNING THE OFFENSE, HOW HE IS LEARNING TO BE THAT LEADER AND HAVE THAT DIET CONFIDENCE.

AND HOW HE CAN SIT THERE AND MANAGE THAT NAME FOR THE OFFENSE THAT WILL DEMAND SO MUCH OF YOU.

IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING WATCH TONIGHT.

>> NOW, WE HAVE OUR NEXT COACH CALLING IN, THIS IS COACH OLIVER GOOD ON THE LINE, AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME TONIGHT, HOW DID THAT ALL GO DOWN?

>> UNBELIEVABLE, WE WERE DOWN 20-0, WITH 6:20, FOURTH DOWN, WE HAD TO SCOOP AND SCORE, TO WIN THE BALL GAME, THE KIDS KEPT PLAYING HARD.

>> CHAD, I AM VERY SURPRISED YOU HAVE ANY VOICE LEFT AFTER THAT.

>> I AM SURPRISED, TOO, YOU KNOW .

>> REGION 1 6 A , HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE STANDINGS GOING DOWN TO THE FINAL STRETCH OF THE REGULAR SEASON WE >> WE WENT OUT, WE WILL BE REGION CHAMPS, THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT, YOU WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING.

SO, YOU KNOW, JUST NEXT WEEK, WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

>> FOR THOSE, COACH, THAT DO NOT KNOW WHAT THESE HOUSTON COUNTY AREA RIVALRIES MEAN, IT IS A BIT OF A ROUND ROBIN WITH BOTH TEAMS ON THE NORTH SIDE AND THE SORT SIDE, OF GEORGIA, WITH THE HOUSTON COUNTY VOTES, WITH WHAT JEREMY IS DOING RIGHT NOW AT VETERANS, WHAT IS THIS HOUSTON COUNTY ROUND ROBIN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO CENTRAL COUNTY FOOTBALL FAN?

>> YOU GOT THREE TEAMS BATTLING OUT, ONE OR ROBINSON , YOU KNOW THEY NEED TO PLAY AS GOOD A FOOTBALL AS ANY COUNTY IN THE STATE.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE HAVE PLAYED A LOT, BUT YOU NEED TO MOVE IT FORWARD, IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH ROAD, BUT A GOOD ROAD.

>> COACH CHAD ALLIGOOD, THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT.

WHICH BUS ARE YOU ON?

>> GOING TO NORTHSIDE.

>> AWESOME.

>> WHAT YOU MEAN, WHAT BUS IS BEYOND?

>> IS YOUR TEAM ON THE AIR?

CAN THEY GIVE US A LITTLE CHEER?

>> HOLD ON.

NORTHSIDE!

THERE WE GO.

THERE WE GO.

>> LOVE TO HEAR IT.

ALL GET BACK SAVE GOOD.

NOW, JON, THE TEAM WAS VERY PLEASED BACK THERE.

>> WELL, I MEAN AFTER EXERTING ALL OF THE ENERGY THAT THEY DID, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT FINISH.

THAT IS WHY I ASKED CHAD WHY HE HAD ANY VOICE LEFT.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRADITIONAL POST GAME CHAD ALLIGOOD RIGHT THERE, BUT I WAS A PRICEY AT THAT LEVEL OF VOICE AFTER THAT FINISH, THAT IS A BIG WIN, BOTH OF THOSE GAMES THEY HAVE THEY ARE AT McCONNELL TALBERT , HE MEANS TO CONTROL HIS OWN DESTINY.

HE HAS VETERANS, AND VETERANS HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH TIFT .

AND VETERANS, THEY ARE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER COMING IN AT 1 6A , THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL GOES TO THE MAT ON DECISION DAY, THE LAST GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON, WE WILL SEE WHERE THINGS ARE RIGHT NOW, THOMAS COUNTY CAME IN 2-0 IN REGIONAL PLAY AS WELL, THAT ONE, AFTER TONIGHT, THINGS GO INTO THE MIGHT BE THE ONES AND TWOS IN THAT REGION COMING OUT.

>> THE FINAL SCORE JON, 23- 20.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE REST OF THE STATE AT SOME OTHER TOP SCORES, AND I WILL WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS AFTER WE GO THROUGH THIS, JON.

44 TEAMS WERE UNBEATEN BEFORE TONIGHT, 23 REGIONS LOOKING TO CLINCH TITLES, AND FOR THE LEAD IN REGION 5 AAA, PETER GROVE PULLED AHEAD, THEY BEAT SANDY CRAIG 39-24.

AND CALHOUN TAKES THE TOP SPOT IN REGION 7 5 A , WITH THE WIN OVER DALTON, AND THEN IRVINE GETS THE WIN OVER BERKS COUNTY, AND THEY HAD THAT REGION 1 A , AND AT MEMORIAL STADIUM IN SAVANNAH, WHO WAS FAVORED TO WIN REGION 3?

THEY BEAT WAYNE AA, NOT IN THE BLENDER ANYMORE, 34- 13 TED THE SECOND SEED NOW.

AND SO, THESE GAMES IN COUNTY , GETTING REVENGE OVER BERKS COUNTY, WE HAVE CASEY HERE TO CHAT WITH US ABOUT THAT ONE, THE FINAL SCORE, 19-7 HUGE REGION 1 7A SHOWDOWN, COACH, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET REVENGE AFTER THAT 2021 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR?

>> WE GOT THE BETTER OF THEM THIS YEAR, WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT , WE ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE LAST YEAR STOP.

WE JUST WANT TO KEEP PLAYING WELL THIS YEAR.

>> COACH, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE PLAYING REGION PLAY?

I KNOW IT WAS TOUGH FOR YOU TO PLAY, YOU EVEN HAD WERE CANCELED AND WIPED RIGHT OFF THE BOOKS, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO GET INTO REGION PLAY SO THAT YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE THINGS STAND TO THE POSTSEASON?

>> IT IS GREAT.

YOU KNOW?

THEY ARE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE TOP DEFENDERS.

SO, IS VERY GOOD TO GET THAT GAME IN AGAINST THEM, AND YOU KNOW, FITZGERALD, SOME OF THOSE TEAMS LIKE THAT.

THEY COME IN HERE, THEY GO TO BROOKS COUNTY, GET THE BIG WIN LIKE THIS.

A PHYSICAL FOOTBALL GAME, THAT WAS GREAT FOR OUR PROGRAM.

>> COACH, 6-1, 2-0 IN REGION PLAY, TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON WITH YOUR TEAM FOR THE LAST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON.

>> WE JUST HAVE TO CLEAN UP A LOT OF STUFF.

WE HAVE TO GET THAT RUN GAME , AND GET BETTER.

I THINK THAT OUR DEFENSE HAS BEEN PLAYING LIGHTS OUT BUT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE OF THAT, AND YOU KNOW, OUR OFFENSIVE LINE IS YOUNG, WE HAVE A LOT OF YOUNGER GUYS THERE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND GET A LITTLE BIT BETTER EVERY DAY.

>> COACH CASEY SOLIDAY, WHAT BUS ARE YOU ONE AND WHO IS BEHIND YOU?

>> WELL, I AM ON THIS BUS.

>> GOT AN AWESOME WIN.

THANK YOU 17, THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN, COACH.

ALL GET HOME SAFE.

JON , WHAT A TOUGH REGION, REGION 1 1A , I THINK I SAID 7A, I CANNOT BE MY OWN NOTES WITH THIS CHICKEN SCRATCH.

>> IT IS A MINI REGION.

AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE HAVING TO RESCHEDULE ALL OF THE NON-REGION SCHEDULE, HERE IS THE NONRIGID SCHEDULE TO COACH KING, YOU HAD FITZGERALD, THAT WAS A RIVALRY, THAT STARTED THE SEASON, THEN YOU ARE AT HOME TO DOOLEY, THEN TURN THE COUNTY, ASHFORD, THEN PACK A LUNCH, GET THAT MIDNIGHT SNACK THE YELLOW JACKETS THAT ARE, THEN YOU HAVE MATTER AT HOME, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE GAME AGAINST WAYNESBORO, AND COACH ROBERTS WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT ONE, BECAUSE THAT WILL GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO FIGURE OUT THAT IS THE SAME TO COACH CASEY SOLIDAY AT IRWIN COUNTY.

FINALLY, YOU GET INTO THAT REGION PLAY, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GAME WITH BROOKS, THEN YOU DUCK OUT, LIKE YOU SAID, TO TAKE ON IRWIN COUNTY.

BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, BUT YOUR LAST REGION GAME IS GOING TO BE, AND THAT IS AGAINST ALMA AND BACON COUNTY, BACON COUNTY CAME AND THAT IS WITH A RECORD OF 1-6, THEY HAD NOT PLAYED ANY REGION GAME.

SO, 27, BROOKS, THEN BACON AND TELL THEM, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO THE TWO OF THE FOUR ARE.

>> JON, NOW, LET'S GO TO WALNUT GROVE, 44-0.

COACH, YOU GO 8-3, 5-0 IN REGION PLAY, WELL IN YOUR GAME TONIGHT.

YOUR DEFENSE, BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME.

>> OUR DEFENSE PLAYED REALLY REALLY WELL, I AM SUPER PROUD OF THE KIDS AND THEIR EFFORTS.

AND WE KNEW THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET ON THE BOARD EARLY.

WE MADE SOME BIG PLAYS.

THAT HAS BEEN OUR MO OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS.

YOU KNOW, I AM JUST SUPER PROUD OF OUR COACHES AND OUR STAFF.

JUST FOR YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY DO WEEKEND AND WEEK OUT, TO GET OUR KIDS READY TO PLAY.

>> TYLER, IT IS JON, WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEFENSE, THIS IS THE SIXTH TIME THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN UP LESS THAN DOUBLE DIGITS, WHAT ABOUT THIS DEFENSE IS HUMMING AND HAS BEEN HUMMING ALL SEASON LONG?

>> I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS THEY LOVE PLAYING FOR EACH OTHER, WE HAVE THIS GROUP THAT LOVES THEIR OWN TEAMMATES, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE NATURALLY GOING TO HAVE SOME SUCCESS.

THOSE KIDS JUST GIVE AN UNBELIEVABLE EFFORT, DOWN AFTER THEMSELVES A SHOT TO PUT UP LOW NUMBERS WE CAN AND WEEK OUT.

>> YOU HAVE NOT ALLOWED MORE THAN 13 POINTS ALL YEAR LONG, UNBELIEVABLE.

LET'S BRAG ABOUT YOUR OFFENSE, BECAUSE 44 POINTS IS NOT EASY TO DO, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PLAYMAKERS ON THAT SIDE OF THE BALL.

>> YES, BARNES, HE HAS PICKED UP A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM A RECRUITING STANDPOINT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS.

HE IS PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST PLAYMAKER.

HE IS SURROUNDED BY A LOT OF GOOD PLAYERS.

TAYLOR, THE WIDE RECEIVER, AND THEN MAX WILSON ON QUARTERBACK, AND OUR RUNNING BACK, THOSE GUYS HAVE ALL HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND WHEN THEY GET THE BALL IN THEIR HANDS , THEY ARE ELECTRIC AND THEY CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN BY COMMITTEE.

AND I WOULD SAY , BARNES, HE IS PRETTY TALENTED, AND PRETTY ELECTRIC WHEN HE TOUCHES THE FOOTBALL.

>> AN AWAY GAME IN WALNUT >> WE JUST GOT BACK ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AGO.

>> WELL, THANK YOU FOR STEPPING IN AND TAKING THE TIME TO CALL INTO THE SHOW.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

>> JON, HE GETS OFF THE BUS AND HE GOES IN TO CHAT WITH US.

I LOVE TO SEE IT.

>> REGION A QUAD A, THAT IS OLD- SCHOOL, THERE ARE 10 TEAMS IN THE REGION, BUT, JOHNSON GAINESVILLE, THEY BOTH PLAYED NON-REGION SCHEDULED, YOU HAVE EIGHT REGION GAMES THAT YOU HAVE TO SET THROUGH.

FOR NORTH OCONEE, THE REMAINING ARE OF THE FEDERAL EAST HALL AT HOME.

EAST HALL CAME IN WITH A RECORD OF 2-5, CHEROKEE, 2-16, CHEROKEE BLUFF, THAT WOULD BE THE LAST GAME TO PUT THEM ON DECISION DAY.

IF YOU LOOK AT THINGS RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A TEAM THAT IS 6-3, 8-10, RUN THE TABLE, HAVE AN UNBEATEN REGULAR SEASON IN ADDITION TO UNBEATEN REGION PLAY.

AND, WHEN WALNUT GROVE, THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE 1-TWOS, AND NORTH OCONEE TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS.

BUT YOU LOOK AT THE BUSINESS END OF THE BACKEND OF THE REGION, YOU ARE LOOKING AT FOUR TEAMS, SIX POSSIBLY, FOUR FOUR SPOT CHASING COACH KING RIGHT NOW, 5 FOR 3 BEHIND NORTH OCONEE.

>> JON, ANOTHER UNDEFEATED COACH IS WAITING TO CHAT WITH US, AND THAT IS HAD COACH JUSTIN ROGERS, 8-0, 3-0 IN REGION PLAY, YOU BEAT THEM 42- 21, WAS CLICKING IN THIS REGION MATCHUP?

>> HELLO.

YOU KNOW, THEY WERE SO TALENTED , AND YOU KNOW, THEY WERE JUST KIND OF BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST KEPT PLAYING GOOD FOOTBALL.

GOOD BALL.

AND YOU KNOW, WE JUST GO IN, DEFENSIVELY, KEEP THE BALL IN FRONT, AND THEY MADE THAT HUGE SNAP.

>> AND NOW, AFTER THIS IMPROVING HOUSTON COUNTY TEEN, YOU HAVE TWO COMING UP AT THE END OF THE SCALE, AND HANNAH AND I WILL ANALYZE THAT COMING UP IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

AS YOU CONTINUE TO PROGRESS AND GET THAT WIN THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO WORK ON FOR THE FINAL TWO GAMES IN THE REGULAR SEASON THAT WILL GET YOU READY FOR SEASON THREE?

>> JUST CONTINUING TO PLAY PHYSICAL.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.

AND THAT IS JUST THE BIGGEST THING, WE KNEW THAT THE BLAST, THE LAST TWO, THIS IS THE HARDEST REGION, 6 DONNA A FOOTBALL, THEY ARE GOING TO RIGHT BE BACK IN THE TOP 10 X WE WITH THAT WIN THAT THEY HAD.

AND, YOU KNOW?

ALL OF THE TEAMS OUT OF THIS REGION.

IT IS GOING TO BE BATTLE TESTED.

THEY ARE GOOD TEAMS.

>> LAST QUESTION, YELLOWJACKETS HAVE NOT HAD A WINNING SEASON SINCE LAST YEAR, 5-6, YOU ARE 8- 0 NOW.

WHAT CHANGES DID YOU IMPLEMENT TO BE SO SUCCESSFUL AND SO IMPRESSIVE?

>> THE BIGGEST THING , IT WAS A LOT OF JUST CHANGES, SMALL CHANGES TO GET BIG RESULTS, YOU NEED REALLY TALENTED PLAYERS.

AND WE ASSEMBLED A REALLY GOOD STAFF.

I MEAN WE GOT A GOOD STAFF PHYSICALLY .

AND, YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT WAS HUNGRY.

THIS PLACE WAS A JUGGERNAUT.

IT IS AN INTEGRATED PROGRAM, AND YOU HAVE ALL THREE OF THOSE THINGS.

THAT IS WHAT CAN BE DONE, IT IS A PROGRAM THAT CAN KEEP GOING THE OTHER WAY.

>> COACH, GET HOME SAFE THIS >> THANK YOU, GO JACKETS.

>> JON, THIS IS A FUN ONE, TWO RIVALS, BOTH WITH NEW HEAD COACHES, WHAT A FUN MATCHUP TONIGHT.

>> YES, AND YOU LOOK AT THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL, 6 DONNA A , WITH THE WIN, THEY GO TO 3-0, LEE COUNTY GOES TO 2-1, HOUSTON COUNTY, 1-2, NORTHSIDE, 2-1, YOU HAVE VETERANS , PART OF THE DISCUSSION, YOU ARE LOOKING AT 5 FOR 4, REGION 1 6 DONNA A , YOU MENTIONED , THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL , GOING UP AGAINST NORTHSIDE WARNER ROBINS , THAT IS GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT COULD DETERMINE YOUR ONES AND YOUR TWOS, THE FOLKS AT VETERANS MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT WITH THAT HOUSTON COUNTY BRETHREN , THE NEXT TIME UP.

>> THANK YOU, JON.

WE ARE GOING TO GO TO REGION 1 25, CAMDEN COUNTY DEFEATED VALDOSTA.

8-3 , 4-1 IN REGION PLAY.

COACH, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO PULL THIS OUT I FIELD GOAL?

>> I AM NOT QUITE SURE ACTUALLY.

BUT IT WAS A GREAT GAME.

WE GOT THAT OPENING DRIVE.

AND WE HAD A LONG, ABOUT A 90 -YARD DRIVE AND WERE UP 7-0.

AND WE WERE SCARED TO DEATH, WE COULD NOT GET A FIRST DOWN AGAINST THEM, BUT THEN WE TURNED IT AROUND, AND THEY BLOCKED THE PUNT ON US, AND THEN THEY SCORED AGAIN BEFORE HALFTIME, SO WE WERE DOWN AT THE HALF, AND WE CAME OUT, WE SCORED IN THE THIRD QUARTER, WE GOT ANOTHER GOOD DRIVE, WE GOT THAT FIELD GOAL.

AND WE GOT THE BALL BACK WITH ABOUT FIVE OR SIX MINUTES LEFT AND JUST RAN THE CLOCK OUT, JUST KIND OF ONE OF THOSE OLD TIME SOUTH GEORGIA REGION RIVALRIES THERE.

WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WAY OUR KIDS RESPONDED.

>> COACH, THAT WHEN THAT GETS YOU AT 2-1 IN REGION PLAY AFTER THE INITIAL WIN AGAINST RICHMOND HILL, YOU'RE THE BYE WEEK COMING UP, BEFORE GILMAN FOR THE LAST GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON ON DECISION DAY.

AS YOU HEAD INTO THE BYE WEEK WITH A RECORD OF 6-3, HAVING WON SIX OF YOUR LAST SEVEN, HOW DO YOU THINK YOU ARE AS A TEAM RIGHT NOW HEADING INTO THE BYE?

>> JON, IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> INC. YOU, SIR.

>> WELL, WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

WE MADE SOME PROGRESS, WHEN WE CAME OUT OF THE GATE, WE STUMBLED OUT OF THE GATE, THERE WAS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, YOU GOT OVER THERE IN THE COLD, DOLLY, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THAT, IT WAS, YOU KNOW, WE JUST FELL APART IN EVERY AREA , I THOUGHT.

BUT, WE SAW WHAT THEY DID TONIGHT, MAYBE WE WERE NOT AS BAD AS WE EVEN THOUGHT WE WERE, AND THAT IS WHAT I TOLD OUR COACHES A FEW MINUTES AGO.

WE WERE NOT AS BAD AS WE THOUGHT WE WERE LAST WEEK, AND WE ARE NOT AS GOOD AS WE THINK WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

SO, WE ARE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, AND WE JUST NEED TO GO BACK TO WORK.

AND YOU KNOW THERE IS NOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT ASPECT, ALL OF US ARE ABOUT THE SAME, ACTUALLY, AND YOU HAVE GOT A LOT IN PLACE EVERY NIGHT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE PLAYED LIKE WE USED TO PLAY, I FELT LIKE, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.

THE KIDS PLAYED GREAT DEFENSE.

CONTROL THE CLOCK A LITTLE BIT, WE PLAYED REALLY GOOD, IN IF YOU DO THAT, YOU HAVE A CHANCE EVERY WEEK.

>> COACH JEFF HERRON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, ENJOY YOUR BYE WEEK, AND WE WILL SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO.

>> WELL, I LOST YOU NOW, AND I CANNOT HEAR YOU.

>> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN, COACH.

JON, WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN REGION 1 , 7A, GIVE US THE UPDATE >> HAMILTON BEAT SCOVILLE , THE BLENDER, THAT IS WHERE IT IS, AND CONCORDE WITH THE WIN, CAMDEN COUNTY WITH THE WIN, 2- 1, LOWNDES WITH THE LOSS, RICHMOND HILL, 0-2, WITH TWO GAMES TO GO, RIGHT NOW, THAT IS HOW IT LOOKS IN 1 7A, YOU HAVE A TEAM WITH TWO WINS, THEY ARE ALL KIND OF STARING AT EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW, IT IS GOING TO OUR WAY THROUGH THE FINAL TWO WEEKS, DECISION DAY FOR REGION 1 7A, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT SHELTON HAS TO SAY AFTER THIS ONE.

THIS ONE, IT MIGHT BE A BIT OF A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT JEFF HERRON WAS SAYING , YOU MIGHT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THOUGHT, BUT YOU MIGHT NOT BE AS BAD, AS WELL.

AND I THINK THAT LEARNING A LOT ABOUT THEMSELVES AFTER TONIGHT, VALDOSTA.

>> I THINK THAT THE COACH HEARD US TALKING ABOUT HIM, THE PACKERS WIN 32-14, YOU JUST BROKE IT DOWN, JON, VIGGO 7-0, AND COACH, THIS WAS A HOME GAME CAN YOU HEAR ME, COACH?

MAYBE HE CAN HEAR YOU, JON.

ASK THEM TO BREAK THIS ONE DOWN FOR US.

>> WELL IT WAS A BIG WIN , ONCE AGAIN, WE DISCUSSED WHAT WAS THEY WIN OVER CAMDEN THAT TRENTON AND I TALKED ABOUT, NOW, THINK ABOUT THOSE NUMBERS, THAT HAVE BEEN AS CONSISTENT AS WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, COACH, ONCE AGAIN, YOU PUT IT UP NORTH , OF 40 POINTS ON THE BOARD, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS GAME, WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TAKEAWAYS?

I DO NOT THINK THAT SEAN CALHOUN CAN HEAR US, EITHER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OFFENSIVE NUMBERS, ANNA, 37 AGAINST DEERFIELD BEACH, AND A GAME THAT WAS SHORTENED BY WHETHER, AND LEE, PUT UP 48, CEDAR GROVE, 39, YOU BEAT TALLAHASSEE LINCOLN, YOU PUT 30 ON THE BOARD THERE, 49 IN A WIN AGAINST CAMDEN COUNTY, THEN NORTH OF 40 AGAINST LOWNDES , THAT PUTS YOU UP AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE RIGHT NOW WITH 2-0 AND 8-0.

IT HAS BEEN STOPPED TO SEE THIS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH COACH CALHOUN ABOUT, THEY KEEP COMING ALONG, EVERY SINGLE WEEK OUT, AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO CATCH THEM.

>> HEY, COACH CALHOUN, CAN YOU HEAR US?

>> YES , MA'AM, I CAN.

>> THERE HE IS.

>> WE WERE TRYING TO BREAK DOWN YOUR ENTIRE GAME FOR YOU.

IT IS NOW TIME TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS, SINCE YOU DID NOT HEAR US, TELL US ABOUT YOUR GAME TONIGHT.

>> WELL, ONE, THE KIDS EXECUTED THE GAME REALLY WELL.

WE GOT OFF TO A REALLY GOOD START, THE VERY FIRST PLAY, QUARTERBACK LAND FOR AN 80-YARD TOUCHDOWN, WE GOT THAT TWO- POINT CONVERSION.

WE STARTED UP THE GAME, YOU KNOW, FAST.

AND WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A LEAD THERE IN THE FIRST AND SECOND ORDERS.

WE WERE ABLE TO START FAST THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS, AND IT HAS REALLY BEEN A GOOD SIGN.

>> SO, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHERE THINGS ARE RIGHT NOW, COACH, AND YOU HAVE TWO AWAY GAMES TO WRAP UP THE REGION SCHEDULE, YOU ARE AT PUNT, THEN RICHMOND HILL, IT IS 45 MINUTES TO ONE, THEN 45 DAYS ON DECISION DAY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO FROM MOBERLY TO THE HILL, WHAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON?

THOSE OF US ON THE OUTSIDE, NOT COACHES, WE ARE LOOKING AT AN OFFENSE COMING ALONG AT A DEFENSE THAT HAS BEEN PRETTY STOUT, YOU HAD TWO SHOTS TO START THE SEASON, BUT IT HAS BEEN FAIRLY MANAGEABLE, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO WORK ON HERE, WE FINISH UP IN REGION PLAY?

>> GREAT QUESTION, WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PLAY CONSISTENT FOOTBALL.

WE STILL HAD WAY TOO MANY PENALTIES TONIGHT, AND WE HAD ABOUT FIVE HOME CALLS, AND WE HAD A COUPLE OF STATESMEN CALLS ON DEFENSE.

AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE JUST GOT TO CONTINUE TO PLAY, FUNDAMENTAL , CONSISTENT FOOTBALL.

REALLY GOOD PENALTY FREE FOOTBALL.

>> COACH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN, AND GOOD LUCK ON A STRETCH THAT WILL SEE A COUPLE OF TOUGH GAMES.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE.

>> HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

>> JON, YOU SAID IT, VALDOSTA, RICHMOND HILL, ON THE ROAD.

HOW TOUGH IS THAT REGION TO PLAY ON THE ROAD?

>> WELL, FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT IS 1 7A, FIRST AND FOREMOST IT SHOULD BE REGION 1 7A, THAT IS THAT, THE TOUGHEST REGION IN THE STATE, AND EVEN IN THE COUNTRY, WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS HIGH-POWERED, STOUT DEFENSE IS THAT WE CONTINUE TO RUN INTO, WE ALWAYS ANTICIPATE MAKING DEEP RUNS INTO CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL IN SEASON THREE.

THIS YEAR, WITH RECLASSIFICATION, YOU HAVE ADDED VALDOSTA TO THE MIX.

AND CLIFF COUNTY CRISP COUNTY, HAVE DROPPED BACK DOWN TO 6 A, WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM VALDOSTA, DEFENSIVELY, HAVE TAKEN ON HIS PERSONALITY.

TO ALL OF THE SUCCESS THAT THEY HAD SEEN, I THINK THAT THE LESSON LEARNED, FROM FELTON, THAT WILL BE THE BIG LESSON MOVING FORWARD, THEY ARE READY TO TAKE ON ANYBODY AT ANY TIME.

AND WE KNOW WHAT COLQUITT AND LOWNDES BRING TO THE TEAM EVERYTHING ON YOUR, THIS IS A VERY NEW CONFIGURATION, STILL STOUT ACROSS THE BOARD.

JON, NEXT FRIDAY RIGHT HERE ON GPB, A REALLY GOOD ONE, IT IS LANGSTON HUGHES, VERSUS SOUTH PAULDING.

NOW WE HAVE SOUTH PAULDING HAD COACH ON TO TALK ABOUT THE 56- 35 WIN AGAINST ALEXANDER, REGION 5 6 A , COACH, WHAT DOES THIS WIN MEAN FOR THE TEAM?

>> I THINK THAT IT WAS JUST A RIVALRY LAY.

YOU KNOW I WAS FIRED UP, WE HAVE HUGHES NEXT WEEK.

AND YOU KNOW WE WILL CONTINUE TO BATTLE ADVERSITY.

>> SUMO , IT IS JON, LET ME ASK YOU THIS, YOU MENTIONED TRACK DAY, COACHES REALLY HATE TO STARE THAT IN THE FACE LIKE YOU DID TONIGHT.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TAKEAWAYS AS YOU WENT THROUGH THIS CRAP GAME THREE OF THE GAME WITH HUGHES.

OBVIOUSLY, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LESSON YOU NEED TO WORK ON HEADING INTO THAT HUGHES GAME?

>> THE LITTLE THINGS, THE LITTLE THINGS TURNING THE BIG THINGS.

WE NEED TO BE COMPOSED AND BATTLE ADVERSITY.

WE PLAY HUGHES AS AN AWAY GAME, AND IT WILL BE A BATTLE AGAINST ANOTHER GOOD TEAM.

YOU KNOW THEY ARE JUST A TOUGH TEAM, AND THEY REALLY BATTLE ALL NIGHT LONG.

AND WE REALLY LEARNED THAT WE NEED TO GO BACK TO BASE BASICS.

>> COACH , HUGHES WON 41-0, PREVIEW THIS, WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THE W. I DON'T WANT YOU TO LOOK AHEAD, YOU ARE STILL ON THE WAY HOME, BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE HER KEYS TO VICTORY NEXT FRIDAY ON GPB?

>> WELL, WE WILL PLAY OUR STYLE OF FOOTBALL.

MEAN, NASTY, RUNNING THE FOOTBALL, PLAYING DEFENSE.

WE HAVE A BIG DEFENSIVE END, AND WE WILL BE READY TO PLAY FOOTBALL.

AND YOU KNOW NEXT WEEK, WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO BE VERY LOUD AND COULD BEAT THEM.

>> COACH ROBINSON, YOU ENJOY THIS WIN AND PLEASE GET HOME SAFELY TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

>> YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE NOW.

WE ARE WRAPPING UP.

>> I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS SHIRT YOU ARE WEARING, TOO.

>> SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO, OVERLY PREPARED, I HAD TO SHOVE IT DOWN MY SHOULDER, IT IS A REALLY LONG SCARF.

IF YOU DID NOT HANG ONTO IT, YOU WOULD PROBABLY POP OUT THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE JACKET.

I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO STASH IT.
