>> HEY, EVERYONE, WELCOME TO COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF HERE ON GPB SPORTS FACEBOOK LIVE.

I'M HANNAH GOODIN ALONGSIDE JON NELSON.

WEEK SEVEN, SHOW SEVEN.

CAN'T BELIEVE IT, JON.

WELCOME BACK TO THE STUDIO, BUDDY.

>> LIKE LAST WEEK'S PUNISHMENT WHEN I CAME BACK IN AT THE END OF THE SHOW.

>> I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE GOING TO RETURN.

>> YES.

>> AFTER WHAT WE DID LAST - >> BUT I WAS GIVEN SPECIAL DISPENSATION BY LORI COVER, OUR ELITE PRODUCER, TO WANDER BACK IN AND BE HERE THE FINAL X-NUMBER OF MINUTES OF THE SHOW.

SO, HEY, I'M HERE FROM THE BEGINNING.

LET'S SEE HOW LONG I LAST.

>> IF YOU GUYS MISSED THE SHOW LAST WEEK, JON SAID THE MAGIC WORD THAT I CAME UP WITH.

>> UH HUH.

>> AND HIS CARDBOARD CUTOUT HOSTED 95% OF THE SHOW, AND IT WAS AMAZING.

SO, I'M GLAD - I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE BACK.

>> I SEE HOW THIS WORKS.

IT'S LIKE THE CARDBOARD CUTOUT WAS GREAT.

HE HAD MORE PERSONALITY THAN YOU DID.

>> HE ACTUALLY DID, NOW THAT I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

>> I SEE - I SEE HOW THIS PLAYED.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

APPARENTLY THE WORD THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED, NOT IN MY EAR, BUT THE WORD EXISTS, AND THE PUNISHMENT EXITS.

SO LET'S SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT FOUR SHOWS IN A ROW WHERE I SAY THE WORD I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY AND HAVE TO DO SOMETHING - >> AWESOME.

>> PROBABLY DISAPPEAR FOR 25 MINUTES.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR EVERYBODY TO GET IN HERE - >> WE WILL SEE.

>> WE WILL SEE.

IT'S AN OBVIOUS WORD.

IT'S AN OBVIOUS WORD.

>> SEE, AND THIS IS WHAT SETS ME UP.

SO, MY - MY DIALOGUE THIS WEEK MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST.

THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PURPOSE ATTACHED TO IT THIS WEEK TO SEE IF I CAN DODGE THE COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF PUNISHMENT.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

WHERE FOLKS ARE TELLING US WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING FOR THEIR MEAL THIS TIME OF DAY, AND THEY LET US KNOW, MAYBE IN THE TIMELINE, AND IN THE COMMENTS, THEY CAN SUGGEST FUTURE PUNISHMENTS.

>> OOOH.

I LIKE THAT.

>> SO THERE YOU GO.

>> I LIKE THAT.

SEND IN YOUR IDEAS FOR THINGS THAT JON HAS TO DO WHEN HE SAYS THE WORD.

I LOVE IT.

>> UH HUH.

>> MICHAEL BAXTER IS HAVING LUNCH AT PANERA BREAD.

PEOPLE ARE ALREADY LETTING US KNOW WHAT THEY'RE HAVING FOR LUNCH.

>> COOL.

>> SO, WHAT'S EVERYBODY HAVING FOR LUNCH?

>> I THINK WE'RE HAVING OURS AFTER THE SHOW, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE - >> IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD DO IT DURING THE SHOW MAYBE JUST ONCE.

AND HAVE LUNCH AND TRY TO BALANCE LUNCH VERSUS COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> YEAH.

>> BUT LET US KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HAVING, WHERE YOU'RE HAVING IT, MAKE US HUNGRY SO BY THE TIME THE SHOW IS OVER, WE CAN RACE OUT OF STUDIO J AND GET THE MEAL OURSELVES.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADING TODAY.

>> GILBERT L.S., JR. HAD CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES FOR LUNCH.

APPLING PIRATES OFF THIS WEEK.

>> YES, THEY ARE.

>> YES, THEY ARE.

>> BUT THEY'RE DOING GREAT WORK RIGHT NOW, OBVIOUSLY, RANKED IN THE TOP TEN WHEN IT COMES TO CLASS TRIPLE A.

AND COACH MULLIS, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT INTERVIEW WITH COACH MULLIS DOWN THERE IN BAXLEY, WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM DURING SOUTHERN SWING, SO YOU CAN CATCH THAT ON THE GPB SPORTS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW THERE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WE GOT MOST THE PEOPLE IN THERE.

LET'S GET STARTED.

WE ALWAYS TAKE A LOOK BACK AT WHAT HAPPENED DURING WEEK SIX.

IT WAS OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA BROADCAST.

THE BIG SHOWDOWN BETWEEN ROSSWELL AND WALDEN.

>> THIS ONE HINGED ON AN INJURY.

IT WAS ROBBIE ROPER.

HE WAS OUT FOR MOST OF THE FIRST HALF.

BECAUSE OF THAT ROSSWELL HAD TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO GET INTO THE END ZONE.

IT WAS 24-3.

THEN ROSSWELL GETS IT TO 24-19, AND THEN FANS AT HALFTIME.

WE LIKE FANS AT HALFTIME.

>> THE FANS AT HALFTIME?

>> IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE -- BOTH -- >> THE HIGHLIGHTS.

>> WELL, BUT THEN.

>> THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.

>> GOING FROM ONE END OF THE SCREEN TO THE OTHER.

THAT MEANS ONE THING.

THAT MEANS THAT IT IS A TOUCHDOWN.

31-19 THE FINAL SCORE, AND SUTTON SMITH, THE PLAYER OF THE GAME, COURTESY OF OUR FRIENDS AT THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION.

THE NATURAL CHOICE.

>> HIGHLIGHT, OPENING KICK FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> THIS IS A RIVALRY WHERE IT IS EVEN STEVEN ACROSS THE BOARD WINS AND LOSSES.

AND THE HEAD COACH FOR WALTON HAS LIVED BOTH SIDES OF THIS.

WENT TO ROSSWELL.

NOW COACHING AT WALTON.

LIVES BASICALLY BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS, AND SO IT WAS A BIG WIN FOR A BIG WIN FOR WALTON AND RIVALRY GAME.

AND THEY KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE ON BOTH SIDES.

WALTON STAYING ON THE TOP TEN IN THE POLLING.

WE'LL GET INTO POLLING LATER.

A BIG WIN ON A RIVALRY GAME LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

COOL TO BE -- >> I WAS GOING TO ASK WALTON WAS RANKED NUMBER SEVEN.

THEY'RE NOW 3-1.

ROSSWELL WAS NUMBER 8.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHERE WE VOTED AND WHERE THEY ARE NOW COMING UP ON THE SHOW.

FIRST, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT FIVE OTHER GAMES I HAD MY EYE ON.

FRIDAY NIGHT ON MY FANCY TV GRAPHICS.

>> SHE CAN SAY IT.

I CAN'T.

>> MILL CREEK GETS THE FIRST EVER WIN OVER GRACE.

THE FINAL SCORE IN THAT ONE 28 -14.

THAT WAS AN OUTSTANDING ONE.

A 34-0 BLANKING OVER EAST CALWIDA.

>> A COMBINATION.

>> TWO TOP WINS IN REGION THREE.

LAKELY COUNTY BEAT DODGE COUNTY.

>> EXPECT THEM BOTH TO MAKE DEEP RUNS IN THE PLAYOFFS.

>> COFFEE BEAT CAMDEN COUNTY.

>> AND ONCE AGAIN, WHEN YOU'RE IN REGION 1-5A AND 1-75 -- >> THE DEFENDING 3 -A CHAMPS, A 17-0 NOTHING OVER FITZGERALD.

OUCH.

HATE TO SEE A BLANKING.

>> ONCE AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT NOT REGION PLAY, AND WHEN WE GET INTO MY FANCY TV GRACHK, BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN ME ON THAT ONE.

AND I CAN SAY IT.

IT WILL BE PART OF MY TOPICS WHEN YOU HAVE PIERCE COUNTY TAKING ON A FITZGERALD AND YOU'RE PLAYING UP IN CLASS AND YOU SEE A LOT OF THAT GOING ON.

PIERCE COUNTY, YOUR DEFENDING CHAMP IN AAA.

TUCKER PRUITT AND RYAN HERRING.

YOU WANT TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF IN THESE GAMES AND SEE WHERE YOU STAND AS YOU'RE HEADING INTO REGION PLAY.

A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE IN THAT SITUATION WHEN YOU LINE UP A TRIPLE A AND DOUBLE A TEAM.

YOU SEE WHERE YOU ARE.

GREAT WORK BY PIERCE COUNTY TO GET THE WIN.

FITZGERALD, THE PURPLE HURRICANES TAKE THIS ONE AND LEARN FROM IT.

YOU GET TO SEE ALL THE TEAMS SCHEDULING EACH OTHER, IN A BIT OF A ROUND ROBIN, WHETHER IT'S IN CENTRAL GEORGIA OR SOUTH GEORGIA AS WE'RE GETTING READY FOR REGION ONE TO START UP.

YOU GET A RESULT LIKE THIS.

BOTH OF THOSE TEAMS GUARANTEE YOU WILL LEARN FROM IT.

PIERCE COUNTY AND RYAN HERRING.

THEY'RE BOTH GOING TO LEARN FROM THIS ONE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 17-0 WIN FOR PIERCE COUNTY.

>> THOSE ARE MY TOP FIVE GAMES I HAD MY EYE ON.

YOU LIKE TO SAY THAT YOU VIEW ALL YOUR CHILDREN EQUALLY, BUT WE HAVE TO PICK SIDES.

WHAT WERE YOUR TOP FIVE?

>> YOU WANT TO TOSS TO IT?

>> THERE IT IS.

>> WINTERSVILLE, THE FIFTH WIN IN A ROW FOR DUVOS.

BRUNSWICK AND GLEN ACADEMY.

WE'LL SHOW YOU THE ENDING OF THAT GAME LATER IN THE SHOW.

WARNER ROBINS DOMINANT.

A LOT OF FOLKS WILL SIT THERE AND SAY ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT SCHOOLS IN THE STATE REGARDLESS OF CLASS.

BEST TEAM IN THE STATE REGARDLESS OF CLASS.

THAT DISCUSSION WILL GO ON.

ROBINS PUTS UP 56 ON LEE COUNTY.

BEN DICKSON AND LEE, THAT ENDING AS WELL.

THE MIRACLE FOR MEMORIAL IS LATER IN THE SHOW.

AND IRWIN BROOKS, THERE IT IS REGION OF DOOM, AND SINGLE A PUBLIC, REGION TWO, IRWIN COUNTY GETS THE ONE.

ONE VERSUS TWO AND SINGLE A PUBLIC.

BECAUSE OF HOW HANNAH REACTED, GO AHEAD AND SHOW THEM WHAT YOU DID.

>> GOTCHA.

I WENT REICH THIS.

>> YEAH.

REGION OF DOOM APPARENTLY WAS THE PHRASE THAT PAYS THIS WEEK.

WHAT'S MY PUNISHMENT THIS WEEK?

>> I KNEW IT.

>> WHAT'S MY PUNISHMENT?

>> IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS GREEN DRINK ON THE FLOOR.

>> YEAH.

>> IT'S GOING TO HAVE YOU TAKE A HALF A CHUG OF YOUR MOUNTAIN DEW.

>> ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

>> DONE.

>> HIS FAVORITE DRINK OF CHOICE, WHICH DOCTORS ORDERS, HE'S BEEN TOLD TO CUT BACK.

>> I HAVE ONE A DAY.

>> I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM CHUG HALF OF IT HERE.

THAT'S YOUR PUNISHMENT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

APPARENTLY HANNAH HAS A LOT OF COPY READ.

THERE ARE THINGS SHE HAS TO DO.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DISPOSE OF SOME OF THIS WHILE SHE STARTS.

>> YES.

I'M GOING TO GET INTO THE FACEBOOK COMMENTS SECTION.

STEVE CARTER IS HAVING FRIED CHICKEN BREAST AND LEMONADE FOR LUNCH.

NOW, STEVE, STIENLLY, FINALLY WE HAVE A LUNCH THAT I CAN GET ON BOARD WITH.

HOW IS IT GOING OVER THERE, JOHN?

PIG WING RICE AND GRAVY AND SWEET TEA.

>> HALF DONE THERE.

THERE YOU GO.

>> THAT'S NOT QUITE HALF.

A LITTLE BIT MORE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> A LITTLE BIT MORE.

JOHN IS GOING TO BE BUZZING ON MOUNTAIN DEW BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE END OF THE SHOW.

OKAY.

THAT'S GOOD.

HOW WAS THAT?

>> AT SOME POINT TS MIGHT HAVE TO MUTE MY MICROPHONE BECAUSE OF THE EFFECTS OF CARBONATED SODA.

>> THAT'S ALL PART OF IT.

JUST LET IT GO.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF.

>> IF THAT HAPPENS, CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED.

IT HELPS IF I HAVE TO LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF SHOW AND COME BACK BRIEFLY.

YOU'LL SEE WHY.

>> REGION OF DOOM, I CAN GET BACK TO SAYING THAT NOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> ANTHONY LAMAR NELSON IS HAVING PIZZA.

>> GOOD FOR YOU.

WHAT'S THE TOPIC?

>> AND BILL HAVING PIZZA.

HOW ABOUT THE WARNER ROBIN DEMONS?

LOTS OF GOOD COMMENTS.

MORE OF THOSE IN A SECOND.

FIRST WE HAVE A PLAY OF THE WEEK.

WE GO TO SAVANNAH WHERE AUBURN COMMITS, HOLDEN GARNERS WITH THE MIRACLE AT MEMORIAL.

>> WATCH.

THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

OUR FRIENDS AT SPOIN COASTAL NAMED IT.

YOU SEE THE DEFLECTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD THAT RESULTS IN THE LEADING SCORE AT THE TIME.

TAKE A LOOK AT IT ONE MORE TIME.

DEFLECTED.

PICKED IN.

AND IN FOR A SCORE TO MAKE IT 42-35.

THAT WOULD END UP 49-42.

THE MIRACLE AT MEMORIAL GETS A DES ANGLAIS, A CATCH, AND A SCORE.

THAT'S THE PLAY OF THE WEEK.

>> LOVE IT.

THAT'S FROM OUR FRIENDS AT SPOIN COASTAL AT TWITTER.

>> ONE MORE THING TO GET TO BEFORE WE TURN THE PAGE TO WEEK 7.

BIGGEST TAKE AWAYS.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO TOSS TOO THAT ONE?

>> FANCY TV GRAPHIC TIME.

>> REGION RIVAL SIS.

WE'RE GETTING INTO REGION PLAY.

WE'VE MENTIONED SOME OF THEM ALREADY.

UNLESS YOU'RE NONREGION RIVALS.

YOU'RE SEEING ROAM AND SOUTH PAULING.

WE'LL GET INTO OUR GAME OF THE WEEK.

YOU'RE SEEING A LOT OF THE REGION RIVALS HAPPENING EARLY IN REGION PLAY THIS YEAR.

YOU'RE SEEING RESULTS THAT ARE KIND OF PUTTING THINGS IN THE BLENDER EARLY WHEN IT COMES TO REGION PLAY.

REGION RIVAL SIS.

WE TALKED ABOUT IRWIN AND BROOKS IN REGION 2 SINGLE A.

ABOVE YOUR CLASS.

THIS IS THE DISCUSSION ABOUT PIERCE AND FITZGERALD.

2-A PLAYING 3-5.

CAMDEN AND COFFEE.

5-A PLAYING 7-A.

YOU HAVE TRIPLE AND 5 AND SO ALL OF THESE PLAY ABOVE YOUR CLASS.

THIS IS -- IT'S FUN FOR US.

THOSE OF US WHO ARE WATCHING THESE KINDS OF THINGS.

WARNER ROBINS IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE IT'S 5-6.

YOU SEE ALL OF THIS MADNESS, AND FOR US IT MAKES FOR GREAT TALKING POINTS.

IT'S NERVE WRACKING FOR STATES NOT IN REGION PLAY YET AND ON A YEARLY BASIS HAVE TO SCHEDULE SIX OR SEVEN NONREGION GAMES TO GET INTO REGION ONE SPECIFICALLY.

REGION ONE 5-A, NOT THAT FAR AHEAD WHERE YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE FIVE OR SIX AHEAD OF TIME.

SO RIGHT NOW FOR US, IT'S GREAT WATCHING GREAT TALKING POINTS.

GREAT NUMBERS PUT ON THE BOARD BY A LOT OF TIMES.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THEIR DEEP RUNS INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

PLAYING FOR GAME 15.

BUT FOR COACHES AND ATHLETICS DIRECTORS, IT IS MADNESS.

IT'S ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST MATH PROBLEMS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT NEED A GAME, GOT A GAME, GOT ONE.

STAY ON THE SCHEDULE.

WE WANT YOU FOR TWO YEARS BACK AND FORTH.

IT PUTS GREAT FOOTBALL TOWNS AGAINST EACH OTHER AND GIVES US GREAT TALKING POINTS.

IT SETS YOU UP AND YOU'RE HOPING EVEN IF YOU'RE PLAYING SOMEBODY UP A CLASS OR UP TWO OR THREE CLASSES, IT WILL GET YOU READY FOR REGION PLAY AND GET YOU READY FOR THE THIRD SEASON.

GAMES 11 THROUGH 15.

THOSE ARE THE TALKING POINTS FOR ME FOR THIS WEEK.

>> GOT LITTLE BEADS OF SWEAT FROM ALL THAT MOUNTAIN DEW ON YOUR FOREHEAD.

>> NOT WRONG.

HAVING TO POUND IT IN A HURRY.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

>> COMING UP, WE'LL PREVIEW OUR GAME OF THE WEEK.

WE'LL HAVE OUR TOP TEN RANKINGS HERE FOR A MORE MEDIA MEMBERS ABOUT THEIR DARK HORSES THAT COULD BE YOUR SCHOOL.

OUR FUN KICKER AT THE END AND THE FACEBOOK COMMENTS SECTION WHICH IS GOING OFF RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET TO ALL OF THESE.

CHRIS SELLERS SAYS BOG RIVALRY GAME THIS WEEK.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS GAME?

>> IT IS A BIG RIVALRY GAME.

JEFF LITTLETON, WE TALKED ABOUT BANEBRING, TRAVELING TO COFFEE TO TAKE ON THE TROJANS THERE.

YOU GET THAT MATCHUP AS WELL.

K-RO.

A BIT OF A SLOW START.

WORKING ON SCHEDULING, GETTING READY.

AND STEVE DABORSNI.

CHRIS WEKEN SAID KRO WAS ONE OF HIS DARK HORSES.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE COACHES, THIS ONE FOR ME ONE OF THE TOP TEN IN THE STATE THIS WEEK.

BANEBRIDGE AND K-ROW.

WE TALKED ABOUT GREAT FOOTBALL TOWNS.

HERE'S TWO MORE FROM THAT ARE GOING TO PLAY THIS WEEK.

>> RICKY MOSS SAYS PEL M RETURNS TO THE FIELD WITH REGION PLAY.

I'M CONFIDENT ABOUT THEM WINNING REGION ONE.

SINGLE A, AND ANOTHER ONE SAYING WHO YOU GOT WINNING THE SINGLE A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP?

>> FIRST AND FOREMOST, ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT PUBLIC OR PRIVATE?

THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION.

AND -- >> MAYBE ANSWER BOTH.

>> BUT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, FIRST THE -- YOU'RE LOOKING AT PALUM IN REGION ONE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE REGION OF DOOM FOR ME REGION TWO.

YOU SEE BROOKS AND IRWIN AND THOSE FOR ME ARE EARLY FAVORITES.

ON THE PRIVATE SIDE, TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

THEY PLAY EACH OTHER AND PROBABLY WILL PLAY EACH OTHER AS THEY GET CLOSER IN ON THE POST SEASON.

THAT'S WHAT FOLKS ARE ANTICIPATING AS THEY FILL OUT BRACKETS.

FELLOWSHIP.

CAN McFARLAND WORK THROUGH.

THE SAVANNAH SCHOOLS.

CAVALRY DAY AS DONE WELL EARLY ON IN THE YEARS.

THERE ARE FOUR OR FIVE TEAMS I KNOW A LOT OF TEAMS ARE LOOKING AT.

METER A PART OF THE DISCUSSION ON THE SINGLE A PUBLIC SIDE.

HALF A DOZEN SEEMS FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT ON THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SIDE.

THAT'S JUST A SMALL PREVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE LOOK AGENT.

REGION PLAY, THE WIN BY IRWIN OVER BROOKS GIVES HIM THE INSIDE TRACK TO BE AT HOME THE ENTIRE TIME.

BARRING COIN FLIP LOSSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE REGION CHAMPS.

ESPECIALLY IN THESE BIG REGION GAMES EARLY ON WHERE SOMEONE WOULD GET AN INSIDE TRACK LIKE AN IRWIN COUNTY.

>> AND BORDER WAR.

WE GOT TO MOVE ON.

IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US, WE'RE AT GAME NUMBER FOUR ON OUR AIR WAVES.

NUMBER FOUR.

FLYING BY.

AND THIS WEEK WE'VE GOT A GOOD ONE.

LET'S PREVIEW IT.

FOR THIS WEEK'S FOOTBALL FRIDAY.

GAME OF THE WEEK WE'LL TRAVEL TO GRISH M STADIUM.

A REGION SIX 6 A SHOWDOWN.

CARLSON.

THE TROJANS ARE LED BY MJ MORSEN COMMITTED TO NC STATE.

FUN TO WATCH.

SOUTH BALDEN IS UNDEFEATED IN REGION PLAY AT 2 -0.

55-48 LAST WEEK.

>> THEY CAME BACK.

>> THEY DID.

THE TWO TEAMS PLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME.

KICKOFF IS SET FOR 7:30 P.M. JOHN, A BIG QUESTION, HOW WILL CARROLLTON RESPOND AFTER LAST FRIDAY'S LOSS TO ROME?

THAT WAS A BIT OF A SHOCKER.

>> YEAH.

AND ROME IS A PART OF THIS DISCUSSION WHEN IT GETS INTO REGION PLAY.

BUT THE COACH DOING WELL.

AND THIS IS THE BIG QUESTION.

WE TALKED ABOUT REGION RIVALS AND EARLY MARKERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SOUTH PAULDING HAS PUT THAT EARLY MARKER ON THE BOARD, AND THEY'RE TRYING NOT TO LOOK TOO FAR AHEAD.

FOCUSING ON THIS GAME HERE, NOT FOCUSING ON THE FACT THAT THEY'RE RIGHT NOW CHASING AFTER A HIGH SEED IN REGION PLAY.

AND CARROLLTON AND JOEY KING ADMITTED IN DISCUSSION WITH US THIS WEEK THAT OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T MAKE MISTAKES.

YOU CAN'T GET BEHIND.

ALL THOSE THINGS YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN GAMES LIKE THIS WHEN YOU'RE IN REGION PLAY.

SO ROOK FOR CARROLLTON EARLY ONTO TRY TO SIT THERE AND PUT POINTS OCHBT BOARD TO GET THE EARLY MARKERS AND HAVE SOUTH PAULDEN COMING FROM BEHIND FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW.

LAST WEEK AGAINST DALTON, DALTON HAD THE EARLY LEAD.

PAULDING HAD TO PUT THE PEDAL DOWN LATE FOR THE WIN.

CAN THEY DO THAT IF THEY'RE FORCED INTO THAT SITUATION FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW.

AT GRISH M STADIUM, YOU KNOW JOEY KING UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT MEANS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TROJAN FOOTBALL.

TROJANS AND SPARTANS, GREAT MATCHUP.

CAN THEY RESPOND AFTER LOSING LAST WEEK?

THAT'S WHAT THIS WEEK AT PRACTICE IS FOR F. CAN THEY TRY TO TURN THE REGION INTO A LOT OF ONE LOSS TEAMS WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO USE SOME MATH AND SOME TIE BREAKERS AND SLIDE RULES AND THINGS LIKE THAT BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE TO TRY TO GET BACK INTO CHASING AFTER A REGION CHAMPIONSHIP?

THAT'S THE BIG ISSUE FOR CARROLLTON, NOW.

>> CANNOT WAIT FOR THAT ONE.

OCTOBER STARTS TOMORROW.

>> WOW.

>> NONREGION PLAY WRAPPING UP.

REGION PLAY -- >> FOR MOST.

>> HEATING UP.

THERE'S BEEN SOME POLL SHAKEUPS.

>> THERE HAVE BEEN.

YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TOSS TO THE POLLS?

>> THIS WEEK 7 A THROUGH 4 A.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE ALL THE RANKINGS, GO TO GBP OR DOWN LOAD THE APP.

LET'S START WITH 7 A.

>> I'M TRYING NOT TO GET INTO TROUBLE.

HANNAH MIGHT HAVE COME UP WITH ANOTHER SET OF WORDS.

>> YOU'RE SAFE.

>> COLLINS HILL AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER IN 7 A. COUGHMAN AT NUMBER 5 AFTER A BIG NUMBER ON NORTH SIDE.

ROSSWELL DROPPING TO NINE ONCE AGAIN.

TWO FAIRLY EVEN TEAMS IN 7 A.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PENALIZE ROSSWELL THAT MUCH.

I DON'T WHEN I PUT MY MATH TOGETHER.

THEY DON'T DROP TOO FAR.

THEY ARE 8-10.

TURNING THE PAGE TO 6 A. LEE COUNTY ONCE AGAIN PLAYING ONE OF THE TOP TEAMS IN THE STATE.

WE DON'T DROP THEM VERY FAR.

I DIDN'T DROP THEM THAT MUCH.

BUFRT AND LEE COUNTY ONCE AGAIN ANTICIPATION OF THESE TWO MAKING IT TO A GAME 15.

THE ONE AND THE TWO PRETTY MUCH STAYING THE SAME.

JUST SHIFTING PLACES.

HUGHES AND WEST LAKE.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG TEST FOR RIVER RIDGE.

NUMBER FIVE AT 4-0 GOING UP AGAINST ROBERT EDWARDS.

ROME AT 3-2.

WE KNOW ABOUT BENEDICT AND BURKE.

AND THE BURG DOG CAPITOL OF THE WORLD TAKING ON ERIK PARKER.

PERRY HANGING IN.

6 HE GRANGE 3 -9 GOING AT IT THIS WEEKEND.

THE STEVENSON JAGUARS, 5-0 ON NUMBER TEN REPRESENTING CAB COUNTY.

THAT'S 7, 6, 5-4 IN RANKINGS.

>> YOU LISTED ALL THE PAST GAMES IN THE TOP CLASSIFICATIONS THAT I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME GAINS TO WATCH IN THE LOWER CLASSIFICATIONS AS WELL.

>> I CERTAINLY DO.

AND WARNER ROBINS AND CAMDEN WAS ONE OF THEM.

WE TALKED ABOUT PLAYING UP AND DOWN IN CLASS.

5 A AND 7 A GOING AT IT.

HARRISING TON CHALLENGING CAMDEN COUNTY IN THE.

>> NORTHEAST MACON STARTED GREAT WITH AN UPSET OF JONES COUNTY.

THEY'RE AT THE HOUSE OF PAIN TO TAKE ON WASHINGTON COUNTY.

RAVEN COUNTY AND PIERCE.

ONCE AGAIN YOU GOT TO CATCH UP WITH COACH HERRING TO DISCUSS HOW YOU GO UP AGAINST RAVEN COUNTY AND GUNNER STOCKTON.

>> HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

>> BLACKSHIRE, THAT'S FUN.

STRATFORD COUNTY AND CAVALRY DAY, THAT'S ONE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS WEEKEND AS WELL.

STRATFORD ACADEMY MAKING THE ROAD TRIP TO THE COAST TO TAKE ON CAVALRY DAY.

AND CAVALRY DAY A THING TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SINGLE A.

ON THE PRIVATE SIDE, CAVALRY DAY MADE DEEP RUNS INTO GAME 13 AND 14 IN THE PAST AND PICKED UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF LAST SEASON.

>> THAT'S JUST THE SMALL SAMPLE OF THE FIVE WE TALKED ABOUT.

BENEDICTON AND BERK.

HUGHES AND WEST LAKE, THAT KICKOFF AT 6:00 ON FRIDAY.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO GO TO THAT GAME, 6:00 KICK RIGHT NOW.

NORTH GWINETT AND MILL CREEK PART OF THINGS.

WARNER ROBINS AND CAMDEN COUNTY.

HOW DOES WARNER ROBINS REACT TO GOING ON THE ROAD DOWN TO THE COAST.

THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION WHEN IT COMES TO WARNER ROBINS AND CAMDEN COUNTY.

A LOT OF GREAT GAMES AROUND THE STATE.

THAT'S A SMALL SAMPLE.

>>> CARLOS WHITAKER IS WATCHING THE MATCHUP ON FRIDAY.

GO HAWKS.

HE SAYS THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW, LET'S GIVE THE UNDERDOGS SOME LOVE.

TALK ABOUT THE TOP MATCHUPS.

BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DARK HORSES.

AND THIS WEEK WE GO TO OUR FRIENDS AT ESPN COASTAL.

CHRISTIAN AND P.J., LET'S HEAR WHICH TEAMS THEY THINK MIGHT SNEAK UP ON YOU.

>> I'M GOING TO GO WITH NEW HAMPTON.

I LIKE PAUL SEELY, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEIR DEFENSIVE LINE, A LOT OF WEAPONS.

I THINK NEW HALTEN COULD MAKE SOME NOISE.

IF THEY GET TO PLAYOFFS AND HAVE TO BE A HOME TEAM, THEY CAN SEND YOU HOME EARLY.

>> I LIKE THE NEW HAM STEAD PICK.

I ALSO LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK AT 3 A, JOHNSON ADAM SMASHERS.

A NEW HEAD COACH THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO HAS DONE A SOLID JOB THAT'S A PROGRAM THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN 30 OR 40 KIDS ON THE ROSTER.

IT'S UP TO OVER 70.

OFFENSIVELY, THEY COULD TURN HEADS.

JOHNSON ADAM SMASHERS.

IF NOT THEM, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO CALL THEM A DARK HORSE.

BUT I THINK CAVALRY DAY IS GOING TO BE REALLY STRONG COMING INTO THE YEAR.

WATCH OUT FOR THE CAVALIERS AS WELL.

>> OKAY.

LOVE CAVALRY DAY.

BUT THE JOHNSON WHO?

>> THE JOHNSON SAVANNAH ADAMS SMASHERS.

>> ADAM SMASHERS.

>> HEOM LIKE ATOM.

THE ATOM SMASHERS.

>> AND TO WHAT P.J.

WAS DISCUSSING IN REGION THREE TRIPLE A, THEY STARTED REGION PLAY LAST WEEK.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT WINDSOR FOREST, SAVANNAH, LIBERTY, JOHNSON BEACH AND GROVES RIGHT NOW.

THEY JUST STARTED REGION PLAY THE LAST WEEK IN JOHNSON AT GROVES THIS WEEK.

SO JOHNSON COULD GET BACK INTO THE MIX OF THINGS AT 1-1 IF THEY KNOCK OFF GROVES THIS WEEKEND.

P.J.

DRIFTING INTO REGION 3 TRIPLE A.

AND THE FORMER HEAD COACH AT McKEET RON IS THE HEAD COACH AT NEW HAMSTEAD, AND TURNING THEM INTO THE FORCE IN THE SAVANNAH AREA.

>> ALL THE GAMES ARE LOADED WITH TALENT ON THE FIELD.

DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT RECRUITING 2021.

EVERY FRIDAY AT 7:00.

BEFORE OUR GAME OF THE WEEK WITH JOHN.

MATT AND MYSELF.

MY ZOOM INTERVIEW, I JUST GOT OFF ZOOM RIGHT NOW AT 1: 11:30.

PRUITT COMMITTED TO ALABAMA.

>> WAIT.

I'M SHOCKED.

>> I KNOW.

RIGHT?

>> CRIMSON TODAY.

NOT FOR THAT.

>> BURGUNDY OR WINE COLOR.

>> IT'S MORE TEXAS A&M.

>> OKAY.

YEAH.

>> BUT IT'S CLIMSEN ENOUGH.

>> OKAY.

>> AS I LOSE MY BALANCE.

>> THAT'S NOT CRIMSON.

THAT'S BURGUNDY OR WINE.

>> KIND OF.

>> WHEN YOU WORK FOR ALABAMA FOR THREE YEARS -- >> I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DIFFERENTIATING SHADES OF RED AND TRYING TO SAY THAT'S NOT CRIMSON, THAT'S BURGUNDY.

>> WHO IS TO MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER THIS WEEK ON THE SHOW?

>> WE GOT A COUPLE.

MATT WILL USUALLY PICK ONE FROM THE GAME FROM LAST WEEK.

SEND US AN EMAIL.

WE'LL HAVE TWO DID IN THE MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER SEGMENT.

LET US KNOW ABOUT THOSE ATHLETES THAT MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH STARS OR ARE OVERLOOKED, UNDERAPPRECIATED, FANTASTIC IN THE CLASSROOM.

HAVE ALL THE SCORES.

DO WELL IN THE COMMUNITY.

EVERY SINGLE WEEK WE PORE OVER THE NOMINATIONS AND IT WAS 12 KIDS PLUS STUDENT ATHLETES LAST YEAR THAT GOT OFFERS THAT WERE ASSISTED FROM GETTING THE NOTIFICATION HERE AND ALL THE NOTICE HERE AT RECRUITING 2020.

WE'RE HOPING TO DO THE SAME THING THIS YEAR WITH RECRUITING 2021.

MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER.

SEND US AN EMAIL AND KEEP UPDATING US WITH THE STATS FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE STUDENT ATHLETES IN THE STATE.

>> PRODUCER LORI SAID THE MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER GUY LAST WEEK GOT AN OFFER.

>> SORRY.

THAT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

THE MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER KID GOT AN OFFER.

>> EASTERN KENTUCKY.

WELL DONE.

THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

>> GILBERT ELLIS IS WATCHING TIPTON VALDOSTA.

ONE QUESTION BEFORE THE KICKER.

HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE NEW MULTIPLIER RULE?

THE COMMITTEE FOR THE REDISTRICTING MET THIS WEEK.

WHAT'S THE UPDATE IN THIRTY-SECONDS?

>> LOOKING AT POSSIBLY TWO AND A HALF OR THREE AS THE MULTIPLIER THAT'S STILL IN THE DISCUSSIONS.

IF I COULD GET MY UPPER PLATE TO WORK THIS MORNING.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT A MULTIPLIER IN THE SUPPLIES FOR PRIVATE AND CITY SCHOOLS TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

IT WILL BE DISCUSSED NEXT WEEK BEFORE WE COME ON.

LOOK FOR THE MULTIPLIER WHICH HAS BEEN ONE AND A HALF OR TWO IN THE PAST TO NOW JUMP UP TO POSSIBLY TWO AND A HALF OR THREE WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SCHOOL AND PRIVATE SCHOOL.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS FOR EVERY STUDENT IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL, THEIR NUMBER COUNTS X NUMBER OF TIMES.

IF YOU HAVE AN ENROLLMENT OF 1,000 AND THE MULTIPLIER TURNS INTO TWO AND A HALF, YOU WOULD GO TO AN ENROLLMENT OF 2500 WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT RECLASSIFICATION.

THAT'S AN IDEA THEY'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY TO 2 1/2 OR THREE.

>> WE GO MORE IN DEPTH THIS WEEK.

WE ALSO HAVE THE CHARLTON HEAD COACH ON.

THEY GOT A BIG WIN IN A SWAMP WAR.

CHECK OUT THE PODCAST.

OKAY.

LET'S SQUEEZE IN THE KICKER.

I LOVE WHEN THE KICKER IS A KICKER.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> GLENN COUNTY THIS WEEK.

>> GLENN COUNTY RED SCHOOL AND BLUE SCHOOL.

WE'RE IN OVERTIME.

TIED AT 14.

THIS IS THE SETUP OF THE GAME-WINNING FIELD GOAL.

AND WE WOULDN'T SHOW IT IF IT WASN'T A MAKE.

WHEN YOU HAVE A SOPHOMORE KICKER, SHAWN PENDER AND THE BRUNZ WICK PIRATES.

IT'S BLUE SCHOOL OVER RED SCHOOL.

17-14.

SHAWN PENDER WOULD EVENTUALLY END UP GETTING THE SPORTS DRINK BATH, BUT A SOPHOMORE KICKER GETS IT DONE IN OVERTIME.

BRUNSWICK OVER GLENN ACADEMY AT GLENN MEMORIAL.

PACKED HOUSE AS ALWAYS.

ONE OF THE GREAT GAMES IN THE STATE.

ONE OF THE GREAT CITI RIVALRIES.

THE CITI CHAMP FOR THE NEXT 324 DAYS, THE BRUNSWICK PIRATES.

>> ALL RIGHT.

FRIDAY.

CARROLLTON AND SOUTH PALDING.

PREDICTING SOUTH PALDING 30, CARROLLTON 31 IN OT IS A PREDICTION.
