>>> WELCOME TO "COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF."

I'M HANNAH GOODIN ALONGSIDE JON NELSON.

WEEK 12, SHOW 12, AND THIS FRIDAY THE REGION CHAMPIONS WILL BE BE CROWNED.

HAPPY NOVEMBER.

WE HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT HALLOWEEN.

JON, HOW YOU DOING TODAY?

>> LET'S SEE.

YOU WONDER ABOUT HALLOWEEN.

HERE'S MY FIRST QUESTION.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT'S FOR LUNCH.

HOW MUCH HALLOWEEN CANDY DID YOU HAVE LEFT OVER THAT YOU'RE TILL WORKING ON?

I CONTINUE TO FORGET TO BRING OURS HERE.

BIG BAGS OF STUFF.

>> WE RECORDED THE PODCAST MONDAY AND YOU SAID YOU WERE BRINGING THE CANDY IN.

>> OF COURSE TRYING TO RUSH OUT OF THE HOUSE THIS MORNING TO GET HERE.

>> THIS GIRL NEEDS SOME CANDY.

WE TOTALLY RAN OUT OF CANDY.

>> WELL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A YOU PROBLEM.

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY LEFT.

I'VE BEEN RELYING ON YOU.

>> OBVIOUSLY THAT MEANS I'M SUPPOSED TO HELP WITH THE BACKLOG THERE TO MAKE SURE.

HOW MUCH HALLOWEEN CANDY DO YOU HAVE LEFT OVER?

YEAH, LET ME ADD TO THAT -- WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CANDY?

>> MINE IS DEFINITELY LIKE AN AIR HEAD OR A LAUGHY TAFFY.

>> REESE'S, BAR NUN.

>> THEY DID THE GLOW IN THE DARK WRAPPERS THIS YEAR.

I KNEW THAT BECAUSE I'VE EATEN 100.

WE RAN AUTO OF CANDY BECAUSE I WAS EATING IT ALL.

>> THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS WHY?

>> NO PROBLEM.

SHOUT-OUT TO THE BRAVES, WORLD CHAMPS.

>> LAST TIME I CHECKED THEY DID WIN THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR, SO THEY'RE OFFICIALLY WORLD CHAMPS.

>> WE HAVE A NEWSPAPER.

WE DROVE ALL OVER TOWN AND GOT THE NEWSPAPERS.

>> THANKFULLY WE SUBSCRIBE TO WE'RE GETTING OURS DELIVERED TO THE HOUSE.

TOMORROW THE PARADE IS GOING TO BE A COMMUTE.

HOW IRONIC THAT IS, THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A COMMUTE HERE IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA, STARTING DOWNTOWN, UP I-5.

FOR THOSE WHO GET THE DAY OFF, FANTASTIC.

IF YOU DON'T, IT WOULD BEHOOVE THE BRAVES TO COME UP WITH ONE OF THOSE PDF FILES TO SIT THERE AND, LIKE, PLEASE EXCUSE, BLANK, FOR WORK FROM FRIDAY BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER -- HOWEVER THEY WANT TO PHRASE IT.

I THINK THE BRAVES AS A PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULD SEND OUT A FILE ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT YOU CAN FILL OUT THAT'S SIGNED BY BRIAN OR ALEX OR WHOEVER YOU WANT SO YOU CAN GET OFF WORK TO SEE THE PARADE.

TRULY THIS IS SOMETHING YOUR KIDS WILL REMEMBER FOREVER, THE ADULTS TOO.

BIG DAY TOMORROW IN THE COMPUTE.

JUST LIKE ADDING MORE TRAFFIC TO TRAFFIC, LIKE THE CITY OF ATLANTA.

>> THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE OUT, SO WORK SHOULD BE OUT.

I'M CALLING IT.

WORK IS OUT.

>> I HEARD THIS.

I'VE HEARD THAT THERE ARE PLACES AT WORK WHERE, OKAY, THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE LETTING THE KIDS OUT, BUT THE ADULTS STILL HAVE TO STAY AT WORK.

>> I'M CALLING IT.

I'M TAKING OFF.

I'M TAKING OFF, LITERALLY.

I'M NOT WORKING.

>> FIVE MINUTES.

>> I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

WE'RE ABOUT TO RECAP LAST WEEK.

BEFORE WE GET TO THAT AND MICHAEL BAXTER STARRING UP OUR LUNCH CONVERSATION, WILLY'S MEX ICAN FOOD.

THAT'S SOUNDS GREAT.

GET THAT IN AND WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CANDY.

>> HALLOWEEN CANDY IS FOR LUNCH.

>> IT IS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK BACK TO LAST WEEK BEFORE WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THAT.

CALHOUN VERSUS CARTERSVILLE.

AMARI WHITE SHOWED OUT.

>> 28 CARRIES FOR 185.

HE CAUGHT THE TOUCHDOWN PASS THERE.

IT WAS A TOUGH NIGHT FOR CALHOUN, WHERE THIS ONE WAS ONE OF THOSE GRINDERS.

I WAS OUT IN THE RAIN AND, TRUST ME, THERE WAS A LOT OF RAIN.

SO THAT TOUCHDOWN PASS MADE IT A TIGHT ONE LATE.

21-14 THE FINAL.

CARTERSVILLE, REGION CHAMPS.

CALHOUN THE NUMBER TWO.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT ONCE AGAIN -- I THINK CALHOUN ARE GOING TO BE A TROUBLESOME TWO.

THEY'LL GET THAT HOME GAME.

A LOT OF STUFF GOES THROUGH WINEMAN STADIUM NOW IN CARTERSVILLE.

WE ALL KNOW, WE ALL KNOW, TRUST ME, WE ALL KNOW, IN MY STACKS OF PAPERS, WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE YOURS, YOU HAVE YOURS.

>> NOT SOLD OUT YET.

>> BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT THAT'S STILL IN PLAY.

>> NORMALLY YOU DO YOUR WAY TOO EARLY BRACKET.

>> IF I DO, THEN THAT MEANS THAT I HAVE TO DO IT IN PENCIL.

SO THAT'S JUST STUFF WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.

BUT FRIDAY NIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THESE ALL NIGHT LONG.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.

YOU'VE PROBABLY STARTED FILLING YOURS OUT TOO.

>> MY TOP FIVE GAMES AND REGION CLINCHERS.

WEEK 11 WAS IN THE BOOKS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

WE'LL START WITH REGION THREE, NORTH COBB CLINCHES OVER MARIETTA.

THE WINNER TAKES ALL IN THIS ONE, COLLINSVILLE GOT IT, DEFENDED THEIR TITLE WITH A 40-10 WIN OVER MILL CREEK.

THE UPSET OF THE WEEK, JEFFERSON GOES DOWN 11-6 IN REGION 8 QUAD A. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

REGION 1, QUAD A, BRAIN BRIDGE CLINCHES WITH A WIN OVER THOMAS CENTRAL.

AND IN REGION 8 AA, A HUGE WIN, ANOTHER HUGE WIN OVER UNION COUNTY 56-14.

THE QUARTERBACK BROKE THE STATE PASSING TOUCHDOWN RECORD WITH -- >> WHAT RECORD WILL GUNNER NOT BREAK BY THE TIME HE'S DONE?

>> PREVIOUSLY SET BY TREVOR LAWRENCE.

THAT'S A SPRINKLING OF TEAMS THAT CLINCHED.

GUNNER STOCKTON CONTINUES TO SHRED THE RECORD BOOKS AND WE HAVEN'T STARTED THE PLAYOFFS YET.

>> THEY'RE DONE WITH THEIR REGULAR SEASON, BUT THE PLAYOFFS, A LOT OF FOLKS IN AA, ONE OF THE TOUGHEST CLASSES AROUND.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THINGS LAY OUT FOR RAVEN COUNTY IN THE BRACKETS.

REALLY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RANKINGS FOR AA, YOU COULD SEE PROBABLY HALF A DOZEN TEAMS IF THE BRACKET FALLS THEIR WAY, THEY COULD LAY CLAIM TO BEING IN GAME 15, WINNING A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING ONE WHEN IT COMES TO RAICHEN COUNTY AND HOW THINGS LAY OUT IN REGION 8.

>> BEFORE WE GET TO YOUR TOP FIVE SCORERS, WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR BIGGEST SURPRISES THAT ARE IN AND WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR BIGGEST SURPRISES THAT ARE OUT?

>> WELL, IN, I THINK WE STILL HAVE A LOT THAT CAN BE DECIDED.

LET'S GO WITH OUT.

RIGHT NOW, ON THE EDGE, KIND OF TEETERING, I'LL GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE, THE REGION TWO-A ON THE PUBLIC SIDE, 2-7, IN A THREE-WAY TIE TRYING TO CHASE AFTER THAT FOURTH PLAYOFF SPOT.

WILL A VERY YOUNG TEAM BY THE COACH'S OWN ADMISSION, VERY YOUNG TEAM COMING INTO THIS YEAR, THEY HAD TO SCHEDULE TOUGH NONREGION GAMES, THEY'RE 1-3 IN REGION, HAVE TO WIN AND GET SOME HELP WITH TIE BREAKERS.

I WOULD SAY THE CLINCH IS ONE OF MY MAIN TEAMS THAT RIGHT NOW IS ON THE EDGE TRYING TO GET IN, BUT IF THINGS DON'T FALL THEIR WAY, THEY COULD BE OUT OF THE 2021 PLAYOFFS.

IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THINGS FALL OUT THERE IN REGION 2-A.

LET'S STICK WITH THE REGION CHANCE.

YOU MENTIONED THE NORTH WIN, GREAT WIN FOR THE TITANS.

I THINK THAT ONE IS A SIGNATURE WIN FOR A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT REASONS BECAUSE THE TAPE'S GOING TO GET OUT ON JEFFERSON.

THEY'LL SEE WHAT NORTH DID TO TRY TO HAMSTRING A VERY STRONG OFFENSE IN JEFFERSON.

SO NOW WHAT NORTH OKONI HAS DONE, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHO'S LINED UP WITH JEFFERSON IN THE BRACKET AND SEE SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THAT GAME MIGHT END UP FOR HOW THEY SEE AND HOW JEFFERSON ADJUSTS WITH THE LOSS.

SO NORTH IN AND CLINTON POSSIBLY OUT.

>> CALLUM JEFFERSON, IT WAS THE UPSET OF THE WEEK AND WAS SURPRISING, MY BIGGEST SURPRISE, SURPRISING TO US ALL.

YOUR TOP FIVE SCORERS.

>> GO TO IT.

LET'S SEE WHAT MY TOP FIVE SCORERS ARE HERE.

WE CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

WARNER ROBINS AND COFFEY, PRETTY MUCH THE TWO AND THREE REGION 15-A.

WARE COUNTY AS WAYNE COUNTY.

WARE COUNTY SHOULD BE THE CHAMP.

STEVENS, THE FOUR TEAMS IN THAT REGION, THEY SOLIDIFY THEIR TRACK FOR THE NUMBER TWO SEED COMING OUT FOR THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR.

DODGE AND WACO, WASHINGTON COUNTY AND JOLINGER, A TOUGH NONREGION SCHEDULE.

DODGE COUNTY AGAIN, PROBABLY A 3 AND A 4, WASHINGTON COUNTY NEEDS TO WIN HERE.

LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON TO SOLIDIFY THEM GETTING INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

IRVIN AND CLINCH.

IRWIN COUNTY, REGION CHAMPS IN REGION 2-A.

CLINCH, A VERY YOUNG TEAM, NEEDS HELP AT 1-3.

THEN WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GMC PREP THE LAST HANDFUL OF WEEKS, UNDEFEATED SEASON, REGION CHAMP.

FIRST SINCE 1935 I THINK.

TREMENDOUS WORK THERE AT PREP.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THEM FOR GETTING TEN IN A ROW, SEASON ONE AND TWO, SEASON THREE STARTS.

WE'LL LOOK AT THE BRACKET AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON SOME SATURDAY AND SUNDAY IN SOME CASES, BECAUSE SOME GAMES ARE ON SATURDAY TO DECIDE WHO'S GOING TO BE GOING WHERE.

CONGRATS TO GMC PREP DOWN THERE.

>> WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FOR THEM THIS YEAR?

>> WHEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF SENIORS, A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, AND FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND EACH OTHER FOR A COUPLE OF SEASONS, AND YOU JUST KIND OF HAVE THAT TLEP THI YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHERE AND WHEN, THAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE, YOU NEED THAT, ESPECIALLY TO GET THROUGH TO HAVE ONE OF THESE MAGICAL SEASONS.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, YOU EEL GET HOME GAMES NOW, AT LEAST TWO, IN THE PLAYOFFS.

WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE FOR THEM IN UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY, BEING IN THE PLAYOFFS, BEING A ONE SEED, BEING AT HOME?

WHAT'S THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR A VETERAN TEAM?

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FUN PART FOR THOSE OF US KEEPING AN EYE ON GMC.

GREAT WORK.

MOST WINS -- FIRST REGION TITLE I THINK SINCE 1965 I WANT TO SAY?

SO GREAT WORK BY GMC PREP.

BIGGEST WIN SEASON THEY'VE HAD IN QUITE SOME TIME.

REGION CHAMPS, 10-0, AS THEY GET TO WATCH EVERYBODY ELSE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

OUR COMMENT SECTION HAS TURNED INTO THE CANDY SECTION.

>> AS IT SHOULD.

>> WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE THINGS WE NEED TO COVER.

FIRST, OUR "PLAY OF THE WEEK" FROM THE SECOND TO LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

THIS TIME WE GO TO REGION 2-4A.

TRUE COUNTY AND LA GRANGE WHERE THE SOPHOMORE QUARTERBACK PUT ON THE JETS, BABY.

>> HE ALMOST GOES DOWN ONCE, THEN TURNS LEFT AND WHEN HE GOES TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN, THAT MEANS ONE THING AT CALLOWAY STADIUM, YOU SCORE A TOUCHDOWN.

TAYLOR TODD HAS BEEN GETTING REPS EVER SINCE HE WAS A FRESHMAN.

HE'S NOT PLAYING LIKE A SOPHOMORE.

TAYLOR TODD GETTING ALL THOSE REPS, GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND TO STAY ON HIS FEET YOU SAW RIGHT THERE.

BRACED HIMSELF, STAYED ON HIS FEET, WORKED HIS WAY FOR THE SCORE.

THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS.

I NEED TO SEE ABOUT THEIR SCHEDULE ON MONDAY FOR A PLAYOFF PREVIEW PODCAST.

SAY THAT THREE TIMES FAST.

>> THE 68-YARD RUN, FINAL SCORE 35-14.

THEY GO 7-2 ON THE YEAR, 6-1 AND FINISH BEHIND CARVER COLUMBUS AS THE NUMBER TWO SEED IN THE REGION.

ALL RIGHT.

BIGGEST STORY LINES BEFORE WE TURN THE PAGE THE LAST WEEK OF REGULAR SEASON, JON.

>> HIT ME.

THERE IT IS.

IN THE BLENDER.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THEM THAT ARE IN.

>> YOU SAID THE WORD.

YOU SAID THE WORD!

>> I'M SORRY.

IF IT'S IN THE SCRIPT AND THE FULL SCREEN -- >> I KNOW.

THAT WAS NOT ME, HONESTLY.

THAT WAS NOT ME.

>> I'M SURE IT WAS THE VOICE OF BOND WHO WANTED THAT ONE.

THE EVIL LAUGH.

NO SURPRISE.

>> THAT WAS NOT ME.

WE'LL LET YOU GET THROUGH THE STORY LINES.

>> THANK YOU.

THEN I'LL FIGURE OUT MY PUNISHMENT.

IN THE BLENDER.

THERE'S A LOT OF REGIONS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

WINNER TAKES IT ALL.

15 GAMES ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL DETERMINE REGION CHAMPS, YOU'RE ONE AND TWO.

TAKE THE NIGHT OFF.

REGION ONE 7A, 6 A, CARTERSVILLE AND CALHOUN, THEY GET TO WATCH GMC PREP GETS TO WATCH, AND THAT'S BIG BECAUSE, ONE, YOU GET HEALTHY, TWO, YOU'RE IN THE BARN, AND YOU'VE DETERMINED YOUR OWN FATE.

ON THE POLD CAST HE DEBUTS HISS NOVEMBER VOICE.

NOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT THE REST OF THE SHOW IN YOUR NOVEMBER VOICE.

>> I'LL DO THAT.

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

NOVEMBER.

>> YOU CAN'T TALK IN YOUR REGULAR VOICE.

NOVEMBER VOICE HERE ON OUT.

YOU'RE DONE.

NOVEMBER VOICE.

IT'S OKAY.

I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE.

>> MAYBE I WON'T TALK AT ALL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW.

>> NO.

WE NEED YOU, JON.

THAT'S GREAT.

ALL RIGHT.

ARE YOU READY TO WARM UP THE VOCAL CORDS?

I'M GOING TO NEED MY TEA WHEN THIS IS DONE.

>> YOU CAN TAKE A SIMILAR NOW.

>> IT'S A PEPSI PRODUCT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW PROEBT THAT IS.

NEXT ITEM ON THE RUNDOWN.

>> COMING UP ON THE SHOW, WE'LL PREVIEW OUR GAME OF THE WEEK AND LOOK AT ONE BRACKET.

WE'LL DO OUR LAST WEEK OF RANKINGS, HEAR FROM OUR LAST COACH.

>> RANKINGS.

>> OUR FUN KICKER.

COMMENT SECTION.

>> COMMENT SECTION.

>> THE SHOW CHANGES AFTER THIS WEEK.

>> HOW MUCH DOES IT CHANGE?

>> I CAN'T DO THIS.

LET'S GET TO THE COMMENTS.

PRODUCER HAD 20 PIECES OF LEFTOVER CANDY.

SNICKERS IS HER FAVORITE.

>> DID YOU GIVE OUT SALAD FOR HALLOWEEN?

THAT'S THE QUESTION.

>> WHO GIVES OUT SALAD FOR HALLOWEEN?

I LIKE KIT KATS.

NESTLE CRUNCH BARS.

>> THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

>> ANOTHER HAVING TACO BELL.

FREE TACO DAY AT TACO BELL.

EVERYONE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA GETS A FREE TACO TODAY.

GO GET IT.

>> FREE TACOS.

GO GET IT.

>> THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR YOU.

ROMANS ROLLING STRONG LOOKING AS IF THEY'RE IN ROME PLAYOFF FORM.

>> NOT A SURPRISE CONSIDERING THIS IS ONE OF THE REGIONS THAT WE HAVE THAT IS IN THE BLENDER.

REGION 5, CARROLLTON AND ROME, DOUGLAS COUNTY AND ALEXANDER, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5-1 AND 3-3 HEADING INTO THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

CUTAWAY TO HANNAH AS SHE'S HAVING ISSUES KEEPING A STRAIGHT FACE.

ROME, 5-1, 7-2 FOR THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

THREE TEAMS AT 5-1 IN THE REGION, SO AS WE ALL KNOW, ROME AS THE SEASON COMES ALONG.

THE YOUNG PLAYERS NOT PLAYING AS YOUNG PLAYERS ANYMORE.

I FEEL LIKE KEITH MORRISON DOING THIS.

OR ARE THEY?

"DATELINE."

THREE TEAMS AT 5-1.

ALMOST CAUGHT ME THERE.

THREE TEAMS 5-1.

ROME LOOKING STRONG HEADING INTO THE LAST GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

>> STEAK AND SHAKE.

>> TAKING A QUICK LOOK.

ONE MORE.

JESSE, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE MACON HIGH SCHOOL PRIVATE SCHOOL LEAVING NEXT YEAR?

IS THAT A RECLASSIFICATION QUESTION?

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THAT.

>> KIND OF SORT OF IT IS.

SIDEBAR.

>> WE'LL ALLOW IT.

>> THIS IS A SERIOUS TOPIC.

REGION ONE, SINGLE-A PRIVATE AS WE KNOW IT, ALL DECIDED AS A GROUP IN ADDITION TO SCHOOLS IN LOCUS GROVE TO PULL A AND GO INTO THE GISA.

I THINK THIS WOULD BOOST THEM UP TO WELL OVER 30 SCHOOLS IN THE OVERALL.

WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS OUR FRIENDS AT 13 WMAZ IN MACON, THEY CAUGHT UP WITH STRATFORD ACADEMY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND HEAD COACH, AND THE HAS HAD SOME THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT.

AND JUST KEEP AN EYE ON RECLASSIFICATION IN GENERAL.

IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE TOPICS BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER WEEK FOR FOLKS TO FILE APPEALS WHEN IT COMES TO HOW THINGS ARE BEING CLASSIFIED.

YOU HAVE SOME SCHOOLS THAT ARE JUMPING UP TWO CLASSES.

WE'LL HAVE COVERAGE ON OUR WEBSITE IN THE NEWS SECTION IN ADDITION TO THE SPORTS SECTION.

IT'S INTERESTING ALL THESE SCHOOLS, AT ONE POINT ALL WERE IN THE GISA AT ONE POINT, BECAME PART OF THE GHSA AND ARE GOING BACK.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE "MACON TELEGRAPH."

MACON.COM.

EVERYBODY IN THE NEWS DEPARTMENT.

THEY'RE ON TOP OF THE STORY.

KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AND SEE IF THE GISA TURNS INTO POSSIBLY ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE FOR MORE SCHOOLS AS WELL IF THINGS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE IN THE DISCUSSIONS WHEN IT COMES TO RECLASSIFICATION.

END OF STORY.

>> NEW RECLASSIFICATIONS, WE'LL DO A DEEP DIVE ON THE PODCAST VERY SOON.

NOT ENOUGH TIME ON THE SHOW.

>>> NO TIME.

>> IT'S CONFUSING.

>> THERE IS A LOT.

YOU HAVE FOLKS GOING UP TWO CLASSES TO FIGURE OUT THINGS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE APPEALS PROCESS ONCE AGAIN, PART OF IT ALL.

I CAUGHT UP WITH SOME COACHES AND SOME ATHLETIC DIRECTORS FOR BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT ARE A WHOLE PART OF THIS DISCUSSION.

IT IS A DEEP DIVE TO BE TAKEN AND WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT WHEN IT COMES TO RECLASSIFICATION.

>> STOP CHEATING.

ONE MORE COMMENT.

CHRIS SAYS HEY, JON, THE BEARCATS REGION CHAMPS, ABOUT TO HAVE SURGERY, SO CHRIS, WE ARE THINKING ABOUT YOU AND HOPE YOUR SURGERY GOES WELL.

THANKS FOR WATCHING -- FROM THE HOSPITAL?

GOOD LUCK.

MAYBE WE CAN BRING YOU SOME LUCK.

THAT WOULD BE A GREAT THING.

BE WELL WITH YOUR SURGERY, PLEASE, SIR.

>> LET US KNOW NEXT WEEK.

THIS IS "COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF."

>> SUFFER THROUGH ONE SEGMENT BEFORE WE GIVE YOU YOUR VOICE BACK.

GAMES TO WATCH.

>> GAMES TO WATCH.

>> IN THE NOVEMBER VOICE.

>> LIKE NFL FILMS.

SHOW THE FULL SCREEN.

BRUNSWICK AND EFFINGHAM COUNTY, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT ONE.

RINGOLD RUCK MOLT.

HONESTLY, ALL THE GAMES THATCH ANY KIND OF IMPACT WHEN IT COMES TO THE POSTSEASON ARE THE ONES TO WATCH THIS WEEK.

OR ARE THEY?

>> GOOD JOB, JON.

YOU'RE SUCH A SPORT.

YOU'RE A GOOD SPORT.

>> WOW.

THAT HURTS.

>> YOU'RE A GOOD SORT.

>> SORRY ABOUT THAT.

>> YOU CAN DRINK SOME OF YOUR MOUNTAIN DEW.

>> I WOULD HAVE TO OPEN IT ON THE AIR ONCE AGAIN.

WHAT I NEED TO DO IS COVER IT UP, BECAUSE UNTIL THEY BECOME A CORPORATE UNDERWRITER -- >> TAKE THE LABEL OFF.

>> I COULD DO THAT TOO.

I COULD DO THAT.

>> OKAY.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'VE MENTIONED IT.

WE TALKED ABOUT ANWIN COUNTY.

THEY ARE UCHB DEFEATED AT 9-0, 3-0 IN THE REGION.

THIS FRIDAY IS WINNER TAKE ALL.

THE PIRATES HAVE AN AWAY GAME VERSUS PIERCE COUNTY.

WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE COACH ALL SEASON LONG.

LET'S HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIS REGION PLAY.

>> WE'RE COMING ALONG.

YOU KNOW, COACH TOM KIND OF TURNED THIS THING AROUND.

I TELL GUYS ALL THE TIME OUR SENIOR CLASS, WE GRADUATED LAST YEAR, AS FRESHMEN THEY WERE 3-7.

THEY TURN AROUND AND GO TO THE THIRD ROUND LAST YEAR, AND WE WERE 9-0 GOING INTO THE PIERCE GAME.

OUR ONLY REGULAR-SEASON LOSS TO THE STATE CHAMPION ON-IN A CLOSE GAME.

SO, YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME CHANGES IMMEDIATE V MADE IN THIS REGION, YOU KNOW, WITH THE OTHER TEAMS.

YOU KNOW, A COUPLE HAVE A SECOND-YEAR COACH.

LONG HAS A FIRST-YEAR COACH.

THERE'S BAN LOT OF TURNOVER.

I THINK THAT SCHOOL IS TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, COMPETE WITH THE TEAMS THAT ARE AT THE TOP.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S FIERCE.

THEY'VE WON THIS REGION AND WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.

>> GOOD STUFF.

>> GUY WITH A BIG NOSE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN THERE.

>> WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THEIR SEASON?

UNDEFEATED?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

COACH IS DEAD ON.

I WANT TO GO DOWN THE LAD ERR LITTLE BIT.

SPOILER ALERT, JAKE WALLACE IN SAVANNA FOR THEIR WEEKLY PODCAST, SO WE WENT IN DEPTH ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR REGION, SPECIFICALLY.

AND THE GAME IN BEARVILLE.

THIS ONE WILL BE A GRINDER.

IT MIGHT GET INTO THE LOW 20s, AT LEAST I THINK IT WILL STAY A VERY DEFENSIVE GAME, PROBABLY IN THE LOW 20s.

AND BEING IN BLACKSHEARS MIGHT BE THE ADVANTAGE THAT THE HOME TEAM, PIERCE, IS LOOKING FOR.

LET ME GO DOWN THE LADDER A LITTLE BIT.

LONG COUNTY, WE TALKED ABOUT THEM.

WHAT THEY HAVE DONE DOWN THERE, THE COACH, YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR COUNTY SEATS IN GEORGIA HISTORY, OTHERWISE YOU DON'T REMEMBER.

REMEMBER.

YOU DON'T -- YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GRADUATE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE COUNTY SEATS.

I REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL HIS NAME.

THEY GET A WIN THIS WEEK.

I THINK THEY PLAY TECHNO COUNTY.

THEY GET A WIN, THEY'RE IN THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

FIRST TIME EVER IN SCHOOL HISTORY.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, PARDON THE PUN, LONG YEARS FOR THE BLUE TIDE AT LONG COUNTY.

YOU SEE WHAT THIS REGION IS BUILDING INTO.

YOU HAVE APPLY AND PIERCE BUT YOU'RE SEEING DEVELOPING PROGRAMS AND SEEING LONG AND BRANTLEY AND TATNALL.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY CONTINUE TO GROW.

APPLING AND PIERCE, THE CLASS IN THIS REGION.

LOOK OUT FOR LONG COUNTY, ONE OF THE COOL STORIES THIS YEAR.

>> WHERE ISFIVE-A BRACKET.

WE HAD TO SKIP OVER IT.

WE STARTED WITH 3A.

WE MISSED 5 AND 4A BREAKDOWNS THIS WEEK.

WE'LL GO THROUGH ALL THE BRACKETS NEXT WEEK.

COME BACK NEXT WEEK.

GO TO GPB DOT ORGANIZE/SPORTS FOR ALL OF THE BRACKETS.

ONE MORE THING TO DO, THE KICKER.

ONE MINUTE OF THE KICKER AND ONE MINUTE OF THE SHOW LEFT.

GET CLOSE HERE.

TRYON, WHERE THE BULLDOGS GO A BIG 61-28 WIN OVER MT.

ZION.

>> YES.

ROB BROWN RAN FOR 290 IN SIX LAST WEEK.

THIS PAST FRIDAY NIGHT -- >> THESE ARE ALL HIM, BY THE WAY.

>> YEAH.

407 YARDS ON THE GROUND FOR ROB BROWN ACCORDING TO THE HISTORIANS ASSOCIATION, 17th MOST IN STATE HISTORY.

SEVEN SCORES FOR THE TRYON GOLD DOG IN A 61-28 WIN OVER MT.

ZION CAROL.

I HAVE A FEELING YOU MIGHT SEE THIS INDIVIDUAL ON ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE DO HERE AT GPB.

>> JUST THAT LITTLE SHOW.

>> THAT LITTLE SHOW.

YOU MIGHT SEE HIM MENTIONED AGAIN.

>> THAT'S EXCITING.

>> JUST A NOTE.

ONE QUICK NOTE, WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT THE HEAD COACH AT TRYON -- HEAD COACH THERE IS GOING THROUGH SOME THINGS, FIGHTING CANCER.

HE POSTED ON HIS -- JEREMY GREEN POSTED -- BATTLING THROAT CANCER -- POSTED ON HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT HEADING IN FOR TREATMENT THE OTHER DAY, HE WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL, SOMEONE HAD PAID THE BILL BEFORE HE WALKED IN THE DOOR.

>> WHAT?

THE HOSPITAL BILL?

>> YEAH.

THE HOSPITAL BILL FOR HEAD COACH JEREMY GREEN WAS PAID FOR.

HE DIDN'T KNOW IT.

HE MENTIONED IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

OBVIOUSLY OUR THOUGHTS GO TO EVERYBODY IN THAT COMMUNITY AS WELL.

VERY, VERY COOL STUFF.

THAT'S WHAT THIS COMMUNITY IS ALL ABOUT.

>> YES, IT IS.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY.

WE ARE RUNNING ALONG HERE.

>> WE'RE RUNNING LONG?

THAT NEVER HAPPENS.

>> THANKS FOR WATCHING.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT HIM AND CHRIS, ABOUT TO HAVE SURGERY, AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING.

THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH JON AND I.

ANOTHER CRAZY SHOW.

>> ANOTHER CRAZY SHOW.

>> WATCH THE REGION 8 6A CHAMP THIS FRIDAY.

JON WILL BE IN STUDIO.

SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT, GUYS.

BYE.
