>> KEEP ADDING TO THEM.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO PUT IT ON TOP OF THE VETERANS HELMET.

>> LOOKING CLUNKY.

>> WE WANT ALL 450 GHSA SCHOOLS, IF A GISA SCHOOL, SCHOOL IN GAPS, IN SKISA, SEND IT.

>> SOUTH CAROLINA INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS ASSOCIATION.

>> EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IT STANDS FOR.

>> TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, FLORIDA, SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, ANYBODY, WE WILL ADD YOUR HELMET HAPPILY TO THE FAMILY HERE BECAUSE I WANT THIS TO LOOK LIKE IT IS MERCEDES-BENZ WHERE THEY HAVE THE COLLEGE HELMETS, WHERE THEY HAVE ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL HELMETS THAT'S WHAT I'M SHOOTING FOR HERE.

I WANT THEM ALL.

>> WE MAY NEED A BIGGER STUDIO.

>> COOL.

>> EXCELLENT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WEEK EIGHT, SHOW EIGHT AND JON HAS REVENGE TO GET OUT.

>> I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY CALL IT REVENGE.

IT'S EVENING UP THE NUMBERS A LITTLE BIT.

>> OKAY.

>> JUST ON THE NOTION THAT PERHAPS AS YOU WELL KNOW, THOSE OF YOU WHO WATCH SHOWS, HANNAH HAS TRAPPED ME EVERY SINGLE WEEK THAT WE HAVE STARTED THIS IDEA.

>> OOPS.

>> WHERE IF SHE HAS A WORD, IF THE CREW HAS A WORD AND I SAY THE WORD, THEN SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BY THAT INDIVIDUAL, ME, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW OR UNTIL I'M GIVEN SPECIAL DISPENSATION TO STOP DOING WHATEVER IT WAS I WAS DOING, LIKE LAST WEEK WHEN I HAD TO CHUG AN ENTIRE MOUN DEW ON THE AIR.

>> THAT DID NOT GO WELL AFTER THE SHOW.

>> WE HAVE AN EQUALIZER HERE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> THE WORD HAS COME OUT FROM BETWEEN THE EARS, THE REST OF THE CREW KNOWS WHAT THE WORD IS, SO IF HANNAH SAYS SAID WORD, THEN WE HAVE AN -- >> WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

>> IT'S THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HELMET, SHE HAS TO WEAR ONE OF THESE HELMETS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW.

>> PUT A HELMET ON.

>> FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW SHE HAS TO LOOK LIKE A LINEBACKER FOR THE FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA CREW.

PUT THAT ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW AND DO THE SHOW THAT WAY.

>> I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

>> WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

LET'S SEE IF SHE PRESENTS THE WORD TO THOSE OF US HERE WHO ARE WATCHING.

>> OKAY.

I'M GOING TO BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT I SAY.

>> SAYS THE GUY WHO WAS CAREFUL WITH WHAT HE SAID AND ENDED UP GETTING ABSOLUTELY JUST SMACKED ON THE WRIST EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> YOU DID WIN THE ONE WHERE PATTY PICKED THE WORD.

YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT ONE.

SO YOU HAVE WON AT LEAST -- >> OF COURSE OF IT THE ONE WHERE THE BOSS PICKS THE WORD AND I DON'T SAY IT.

>> MICHAEL BAXTER GIVES US HIS LUNCH FIRST.

>> VERY SOLID ON BOTH KDS ACCOUNTS.

>> ME A MORE LUNCHES IN HERE BEFORE WE -- CHRIS HAVING GRILLED BLEU CHEESE BURGERS FOR LUNCH.

SOUNDS GOOD.

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FOR LUNCH?

AS ALWAYS WE WANT TO KNOW.

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH.

>> YEAH.

BECAUSE WE'RE HUNGRY AND AFTER THE SHOW IS DONE, THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LUNCH AND MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE US SOME IDEAS AS TO WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE FOR OUR FAVORITE MEAL OF THE DAY BECAUSE IT'S THE ONE WE GET TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS.

>> OUR LUNCHES ARE NO FUN.

WE'VE GOT A JIMMY JON'S 0.2 MILES AWAY AND HAVE THEM BIKE IT OVER ON CERTAIN DAYS.

WE HAVE TO STEP IT UP.

>> WE GOT STUFF TO DO.

>> I KNOW.

>> LIKE OKAY, WHAT'S NEARBY AND WHAT DO WE KNOW AND ALWAYS ENDS UP BEING THAT ESTABLISHMENT.

WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR PATRONAGE AND GIVING US LUNCH EVERY THURSDAY U.S. >> WE SHOULD BE SPONSORED BY JIMMY JON'S ON THURSDAY.

>> LET'S GET TO THE SHOW AND AS ALWAYS WE START THINGS OFF RECAPPING THE WEEK THAT WAS.

OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY GAME OF THE WEEK, CARROLLTON VERSUS SOUTH PAULDING FOR THE TROJANS HOMECOMING.

>> YEAH.

THE BAND HAD TO PLAY AFTER THE GAME AND OF IT ALL CARROLLTON EARLY ON.

THEY PUT THEIR THUMB ON THE PEDAL AND YOU SEE MJ MORRIS WITH THE DUMP OFF PASS THERE AND A LOT OF YAKN A GOOD WAY, YARDS AFTER THE CATCH.

NOTHING LIKE GOING THROUGH THE SOUTH PAULDING DEFENSE.

IT WAS GREAT TO BE AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

FIRST TIME WE HAVE DONE A GAME AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

IT WAS REALLY COOL TO BE THERE FOR THIS GAME.

MORRIS, 16 OF 24, THREE SPINS AND FOUR TOUCHDOWNS.

BRYCE, 166 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN.

SOUTH PAULDING DID COME BACK IN THE THIRD QUARTER TO TRY TO MOUNT A BIT OF A COMEBACK.

ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN PASS BY M.J. MORRIS ON THE DAY AND 166 YARDS, TD RECEPTION, TO LIPSCOMB.

BIG WIN, 40-13, CARROLLTON OVER SOUTH PAULDING AND HOW WE MENTIONED WITH ALL THESE REGIONS IN THE BLENDER AND THIS ONE IS PROBABLY GOING TO END UP BEING FIVE TEAMS FOR FOUR SPOTS.

DOUGLAS COUNTY RIGHT NOW THE ONLY UNDEFEATED TEAM IN THE REGION, FOUR TEAMS BEHIND THEM INCLUDING THOSE TWO HAVE ONE LOSS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A SPRINT AND MY GUT IS, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE LEFT OUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO TIEBREAKERS AND I KNOW -- NO ONE SAID THERE WOULD BE MATH ON THIS SHOW.

>> CARROLLTON GOT REVENGE -- AVENGED THEIR LOSS TO ROME.

>> IF YOU APPLY THE TRANSTIVE PROPERTY TO IT YEAH.

>> THAT WAS THE BIGGEST QUESTION, HOW THEY WERE GOING TO -- >> THAT IS -- THAT WAS THE QUESTION.

>> IT WAS A BIG BOUNCEBACK.

>> AND NOW YOU HAVE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE GAMES GOING FORWARD THAT IS A MUST WINP NOW FOR BOTH OF THESE TIMES.

SOUTH PAULDING HAD THE UPPER HAND, CARROLLTON GETS THE WIN.

NOW WITH A LOT OF THESE TEAMS, THOSE FOUR WITH ONE LOSS, THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE PUSHING FORWARD IN MUST-WIN SITUATIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

GREAT TO BE OUT THERE AT GRISHAM STADIUM FOR FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THAT WAS OUR GAME.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT MY TOP GAME.

FROM AROUND THE STATE THAT I HAD MY EYE, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HERE IN GEORGIA, I WAS STILL WATCHING THESE GAMES.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

WEEK SEVEN IN THE BOOKS, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH COLLINS HILL, 63-0 SHUTOUT VICTORY OVER PEACH TREE RIDGE TO PUT THEM AT 7-0 ON THE YEAR.

SAM HORN PASSED FOR 279 YARDS AND BECAME BEGIN NETH ALL-TIME PASSING LEADER.

TRAVIS HUNTER SUFFERED A LOWER LEG INJURY AND HOPE HE'S RECOVERING.

UFS AT UGA.

WE WILL GET JON TO WEIGH IN JUST A SECOND.

6 A, BRUNSWICK 6-0, THRASHED SOUTH EFFINGHAM.

MITCHELL HAD THREE RECEPTIONS, ALL FOUR FOR TOUCHDOWNS COVERING 162 YARDS.

5A, WARNER ROBBINS SHOWS OUT BEATING CAMDEN COUNTY 77-34.

YOU ARE READING THAT RIGHT.

>> THAT WAS TIED AT 27-27.

TIED AT 21-21 AND WARNER ROBBINS SCORES.

MIDWAY THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER.

>> THE DEMONS A TOTAL OF 675 TOTAL YARDS AND SCORED ITS MOST POINTS IN A GAME SINCE 1976, LOWEST SCORING GAME THIS SEASON, 48 POINTS IN THE SEASON OPENER.

3 A, OCONEE COUNTY WITH A WIN OVER EAST JACKSON.

CJ JONES RUSHED FOR 107 YARDS AND FOUR TOUCHDOWNS ON 15 CARRIES AND SINGLE A PRIVATE, TRINITY CHRISTIAN UNDEFEATED AT 6-0, 34-3 ROMPING OVER ECLA THE LIONS HAD THREE INTERCEPTIONS AND A FORCED FUMBLE.

FIVE MORE UNDEFEATED TEAMS.

>> OKAY.

HERE'S YOUR TAG TO THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM FOOTBALL FRIDAY'S KING JAMES IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.

>> YES.

>> KING JAMES BRINGS IT IN.

CARROLLTON.

STRIPED BY JOEY KING HIMSELF.

>> AMAZING.

THAT'S ANOTHER NEW HELMET.

>> THAT IS THE OTHER NEW HELMET.

CARROLLTON AND LA GRANGE HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE MIX.

NICELY DONE.

LOVE THIS.

>> BUTLER THOUGHT HE KNEW WHICH HELMET WAS THERE.

I WONDER IF THIS IS WHAT HE WAS THINKING.

>> I CAN'T REACH THAT FAR.

THAT'S LIKE FINGERNAILS ON THE CHALKBOARD.

>> THOSE ARE THE TWO NEW ONES, LA GRANGE AND CARROLLTON.

RIGHT THERE.

LOVE IT.

>> LOVE IT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT TRAVIS HUNTER, THOUGHTS ON HIS INJURY, WE TALKED TO COACH AFTER THE GAME.

>> YEAH.

>> THAT WAS THE BIG THING, MAKING SURE THAT WE GOT -- WE GOT TO CATCH UP WITH LENNY AT COLLINS HILL AND SOCIAL MEDIA WAS RUNNING RAMPANT WITH OKAY, GOING IN AN AMBULANCE AND THIS AND THAT.

CAUGHT UP WITH COACH GREGORY, LOOKING AT SIX WEEKS THE INITIAL THOUGHTS THEY WEREN'T AS SERIOUS AS INITIALLY THOUGHT AND THAT'S FANTASTIC NEWS FOR THE NUMBER ONE RECRUIT IN THE COUNTRY.

GREAT NEWS FOR EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLLINS HILL PROGRAM.

GLAD HE'S ON THE MEND AND LOOKING LIKE SIX WEEKS AT THE MOST TO MAKE SURE THAT TRAVIS HUNTER IS BACK TO FULL SONG WHICH PUTS THEM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAYOFF RUN IN 7 A.

WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.

IT WAS GREAT TO GET THE 411 FROM COACH GREGORY.

>> WE WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS TOO, AFTER HIS GEORGIA VISIT HE REAFFIRMED HIS COMMITMENT TO FSU, WHICH IS SHOCKING IN MY OPINION.

>> HONESTLY, WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO REAFFIRM LIKE THIS, I WILL MAINTAIN AS THE FLORIDA STATE ALUM ON THIS SHOW, THAT THIS IS WHEN THE RECRUITING STARTS IN EARNEST FOR SOMEONE LIKE TRAVIS HUNTER.

EVERY SINGLE TIME A STUDENT ATHLETE SAYS I'M STICKING WITH THIS SCHOOL, DOESN'T MATTER WHO IT IS.

IN THIS CASE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBER ONE RECRUIT IN THE COUNTRY.

THE RECRUITING BEGINS THAT MUCH HARDER FROM THAT POINT ON, SO WHEN WE GET TO THE RECRUITING 2021 SIGNING DAY SPECIAL THE WEEK AFTER THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, I, TOO, WILL BE SURPRISED TO SEE IF HE STAYS WITH FLORIDA STATE AS THE ALUM ON THE SHOW, I WILL LOVE EVERY MINUTE IF IT STAYS THAT WAY, BUT THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOLS IN LIKE ATHENS AND TUSCALOOSA AND OTHER PLACES THAT WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT TRAVIS HUNTER ENDS UP WITH THEM STARTING NEXT YEAR.

>> AND GEORGIA, I'M NOT KNOCKING GEORGIA, THEY'RE SO LOADED AT QUARTERBACK, IT WOULD BE SILLY FOR HIM TO GO THERE.

>> IF TRAVIS IS AT WIDE RECEIVER YOU WILL GET A LOT TARGETS.

SAM HORN IS GOING TO MISSOURI.

TRAVIS HUNTER IS HE A DEFENSIVE BACK OR WIDE RECEIVER, WHERE DOES HE GO?

HONESTLY, KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU SAW WITH ELIJAH PRITCHETT LAST WEEK FROM CARVER, COLUMBUS, WHEN YOU GET AN OFFENSIVE TACKLE LIKE BIG PRITCH AND EVERYBODY IS CHASING AFTER HIM, WHERE DOES HE GO?

WHERE DOES HE GO?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

>> BIG PRITCH.

>> SORRY.

LOOKING AT THE COMMENTS COMING IN.

>> TUSCALOOSA.

>> ANY TIME THE CAMERA CUTS TO YOU I TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY TIME.

>> MULTITASKING.

>> AT THE END OF THE DAY ENDS UP IN TUSCALOOSA.

>> MAYBE HE WILL JOIN THEM.

I WENT FOR UNDEFEATED ON MY SCOREBOARD THIS TIME.

JON YOU WENT ALL AROUND THE STATE, MOSTLY SOUTH.

WHAT WERE YOUR TOP FIVE?

>> MY TOP FIVE SCORES ON THE FANCY TV GRAPHIC.

BENEDICT AND BURT.

THAT WAS A THURSDAY RESCHEDULE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT BENEDICT CHALLENGING THEMSELVES IN THEIR NONREGION PLAY, BEATING BURKE BY 31.

RAVEN AND PIERCE, GREAT TO CATCH UP WITH COACH SHAW TO CATCH UP WITH HIM ABOUT GUNNER STOCKTON.

STILL IN THE NONREGION SCHEDULE.

LAST WEEK, THEY WENT TO PIERCE TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES IN AAA.

CAVALRY DAY ROLLS IN SINGLE A PRIVATE PUTTING 42 ON STRATFORD ACADEMY.

THEY WENT AT 42-6.

CARVER COLUMBUS AND LA GRANGE THAT REGION MATCHUP, CAR VER COLUMBUS WINS BY 15 AND TURNER AND CHARLTON, TURNER COUNTY AND CHARLTON, CHARLTON RANKED IN THE TOP TEN AND WE KNOW HOW COMPETITIVE IT IS IN SINGLE A PUBLIC IN THE REGION OF DOOM.

TURNER COUNTY GETS IT 13-7 AS I BELIEVE THAT ONE WAS IN ASHBURN.

IT'S A BIG WIN FOR THE TURNER COUNTY TITANS GOING UP AGAINST CHARLTON COUNTY THERE.

CHARLTON COUNTY HANGING IN THE TOP TEN DEPENDING ON THE POLL THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

GO TO GPB.ORG/SPORTS AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT HALF OF OUR RANKS ARE COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT.

>> A TEAM WE DID NOT MENTION IN THE PLAY OF THE WEEK, TERRY GOERNG VERSUS WESTFIELD IN THE G ISA.

>> COURTESY OF OUR FRIENDS AT WMAZ THE SPIN CATCH, GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND, AND HE GONE.

HUNTER KIRKLEY TO NOAH BLACKMAN, ON THE NIGHT, SEVEN CATCHES, 193 YARDS.

>> ONE MORE TIME.

>> SPIN OVER THE SHOULDER, BACK SHOULDER THROW, HE GETS IT AND RUNS ON SEVEN FOR 193 AND 2 IN THE 56-35 WIN THERE.

SO JUST -- THE GISA GETTING LOVE THIS WEEK FOR THE PLAY OF THE WEEK.

THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS FOR THE HIGHLIGHT THERE.

WESTFIELD AND TERRELL, NOAH BLACKMAN FROM KIRKLEY IS OUR PLAY OF THE WEEK.

>> BEFORE WE TURN THE PAGE ON WEEK SEVEN LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK EIGHT, WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS AND STORY LINES?

>> LET'S TAKE ANOTHER FANCY TV GRAPHIC LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RANKINGS, NOT JUST IN THE HALF THAT'S COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT, BUT WHEN YOU GO TO GPB.ORG YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF TOP TEAMS ARE STILL WHERE THEY WERE.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS.

OFFENSE, OFFENSE, OFFENSE.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF TEAM AS HANNAH SHOWED YOU WITH ONE OF OUR SCORES PUTTING UP LARGE NUMBERS AND SOME OF THEM SHOCKINGLY LARGE LIKE THE ONE AT WARNER ROBBINS RESULT, SO A LOT OF TEAMS PUTTING UP A LOT OF BIG NUMBERS.

STILL, EARLY IN REGION PLAY OR HEADING INTO REGION PLAY, RESPONDING AFTER A LOSS THAT GOES BACK TO WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING WITH OUR GAME OF THE WEEK AND OTHERS.

WHEN IT COMES TO RANKED TEAMS WHO STUMBLE AND ARE BUMPED OFF OF THEIR TRACK A LITTLE BIT WHEN IT COMES TO REGION PLAY OR JUST GETTING READY FOR REGION PLAY, HOW DO YOU RESPOND.

WE SAW CARROLLTON RESPOND TO THE WAY THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR WITH JOEY KING GETTING A BIG WIN AND PUTTING THEIR REGION IN THE BLENDER WITH FOUR TEAMS WITH ONE LOSS.

THOSE ARE THE STORY LINES I HAVE.

A LOT OF OTHER EXAMPLES FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW YOURS IN YOUR PART OF THE STATE.

THOSE WERE THE ONES THAT STUCK OUT AS WE HEAD INTO WEEK NUMBER EIGHT.

>> GET YOUR COMMENTS ROLLING IN.

COMING UP ON THE SHOW WE WILL PREVIEW OUR GAME OF THE WEEK.

WE GOT OUR GPB TOP TEN RANKINGS AND HEAR FROM MORE MEDIA MEMBERS ABOUT THEIR DARK HORSES.

KICKER AT THE END.

MUCH MORE.

>> WHAT DID YOUR ALUMNI -- WHAT DID YOUR ALMA MATER DO LA WEEK?

>> I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

>> WHY NOT?

>> IT'S OLE MISS AND IT WAS NOT PRETTY.

>> I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE.

>> OH.

>> WHAT SHOW ARE WE DOING HERE?

>> I'M NOT SAYING IT.

IS THAT THE WORD?

IS THAT THE WORD?

I'M NOT SAYING IT.

I'M NOT SAYING IT.

MY HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER?

THEY PROBABLY LOST.

>> OH.

>> SHOULD I LOOK IT UP?

>> SERIOUSLY?

WAS THAT THE WORD?

I USED THAT ON YOU A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

>> I TRIED TO USE IT THIS TIME AROUND.

>> DAVE, THEY LOST.

>> NATURALLY.

>> THEY LOST TO -- THEY HAD A BYE WEEK BECAUSE THEY WERE SO TIRED FROM THE 51-7 LOSS TO KENNESAW MOUNTAIN.

MY HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER THE MAROON AND GOLD.

>> YEAH.

>> YEAH.

>> CAN I SAY THE APPROVATION?

IS THAT ALLOWED.

>> NO.

>> NOW THAT WE KNOW THE WORD I GUESS YOU'RE NOT HAVING ANY REVENGE THIS WEEK.

>> SAYS YOU.

>> I MIGHT GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE NEXT WEEK THEN.

>> SAYS YOU.

>> YEAH.

>> OKAY.

I SAVED A BUNCH OF -- >> WE STILL GOT HALF A SHOW TO DO.

WE'LL SEE.

>> MAYBE YOU'LL TRICK ME.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I SAVED COMMENTS TOS THE SIDE, LOTS OF REALLY GOOD LUNCHES TODAY.

>> OH, MAN.

>> NOT JERRY.

HE'S HAVING KFC.

WE'LL DELETE THAT ONE.

BILL SANDERS HAVING BACON CHEDDAR BURGER FROM BROGANS ON ST. THOMAS ISLAND.

I LOVE BROGANS.

THEIR FISH SANDWICH IS ONE OF MY PLACES.

>> SHE KNOWS THE PLACES ON THE COAST.

DELETE STEVE CARTER, MICROWAVEABLE CHICKEN OR SOMETHING.

GROSS.

BE PARRUM, POTTED MEAT ON WHEAT BREAD.

WHAT TYPE OF POTTED MEAT?

>> SHE'S GOING TO NEED AN EXPLANATION.

>> I THOUGHT I HAD GOOD COMMENTS BUT I TAKE THAT COMPLETELY BACK.

IS.

>> THEY'RE ALL GREAT COMMENTS.

>> LET'S FIND SOMETHING SERIOUS.

MICHAEL DEVANE, LOUNGE VERSUS CEDAR GROVE THOUGHTS?

ON YOUR GAMES TO WATCH LIST?

>> IT IS ON MY GAMES TO WATCH LIST, IF NOT ON THE FULL SCREEN IT'S ONE OF THE GAMES TO WATCH.

CEDAR GROVE WANTING TO CHALLENGE FOLKS.

CEDAR GROVE HAPPY TO GO IN AND TAKE ON CONKWOOD AND EXPECTING THEM TO BE TOWARD THE END OF IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE PLAYOFFS, WHAT DOES CEDAR GROVE DO?

GO UP AGAINST ONE OF THE TOP TEAMS IN THE STATE, REGARDLESS OF CLASSIFICATION, 17-A, FUN ONE FOR THOSE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH LOUNGE OR CEDAR GROVE.

>> ONE CAME IN, JESSE, THINK WARNER ROBBINS WILL GO UNDEFEATED THE WHOLE SEASON?

>> YES.

>> IF THERE'S A STUMBLE IT WILL HAPPEN IN REGION PLAY AND THEIR REGION OPENER I WANT TO SAY IS NOT THIS WEEK, IT'S NEXT.

THEY'RE OFF THIS WEEK.

THEY'RE IN THE COUNTY IN THE REGION OPENER.

I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED REGION 15-A WILL HAVE A STRONG PRESENCE IN 5-A.

LOOKING FOR THESE MATCHUPS IN THESE HOME LOCATIONS.

WHERE IS WARNER ROBBINS ON THE ROAD.

YOU HAVE THE OTHERS COMING DOWN THE PIKE.

BUT THE FIRST GAME IN REGION PLAY AFTER RUNNING THROUGH EVERYBODY AND YOU'RE 6-0 YOU GO TO VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM IN WAYCROSS AGAINST ANOTHER TOP RANKED TEAM IN YOUR CLASS AND IN YOUR REGION.

THIS HAS DOUBLE IMPACT ON YOU.

THAT ONE MIGHT BE THE ONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

IF YOU'RE ANYWHERE NEAR WARNER ROBBINS, ANYWHERE NEAR WAYCROSS SEE THIS GAME NEXT WEEK.

UNDERLINE, EXCLA MATED, BOLD FACED, 30-POINT FONT PICK YOUR FONT, DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GAMES OF THE WEEK NEXT WEEK.

>> WE HAVE TO MOVE ON.

CHRIS SAYS 3 TDs FROM THE WATSON RECORD, WE HAD J SHAW ON THE PODCAST.

THAT'S JON NELSON.

I'M HANNAH GOODIN.

OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY GAME OF THE WEEK BROADCAST.

I WILL BE BACK THIS FRIDAY IN STUDIO.

NICKY DID A GREAT JOB FILLING IN FOR ME WHILE I WAS AT A WEDDING.

PLAYOFF CONTENDERS FROM REGION 5 AND 6 A. ROSWELL AND CHEROKEE, 1-0 IN REGION PLAY, BOUNCED BACK FROM A 31-19 LOSS TO WALTON, 15-6 ON FRIDAY, CHEROKEE, 3-3, 1-0 IN REGION PLAY AND THREE-GAME LOSING STREAK, 51-20 ON FRIDAY.

CHEROKEE LEADS THE SERIES 18-3.

LAST YEAR'S GAME 35-28 WHEN BOTH TEAMS WERE STATE RANKED.

KICKOFF SET FOR 7:30 P.M.

THOUGHTS ON THIS ONE.

>> ANOTHER ONE WHERE WE GOT TO CATCH UP WITH THE COACHES THIS WEEK AND THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND THE THREE.

THEY'RE BOTH LOOKING AT MILTON ABOVE THEM RIGHT NOW AS A PART OF THIS MIX.

THIS REGION, REGION 5-7 A IT'S SPLIT IN HALF AFTER THE FIRST WEEK.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT MILTON, ROSWELL, CHEROKEE AT 1-0, ALPHARETTA, AND WOODSTOCK 0-1.

THIS GAME ONCE AGAIN COULD DETERMINE HOME PLAYOFF GAMES OR GOING ON THE ROAD TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF AND HAVE TO DO IT ALL ON THE ROAD.

THIS ONE HAS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT IMPACTS AS WELL.

ONE, YOU'RE STAYING UNDEFEATED IN YOUR REGION AND STILL IN STEP WITH MILTON.

TWO, THE NOTION OF STAYING AT HOME FOR PLAYOFFS, GOING ON THE ROAD.

THIS ONE IS BIG FOR PLAYOFF SEEDING AND LOSSES.

WE'VE HAD IT ON GPB BEFORE, LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THIS AND SEEING EVERYBODY AT CHEROKEE AT TOMMY BAKER FIELD THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THOSE ARE TWO OF THE TOP RANKED TEAMS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION WHICH WE TOUCHED ON LAST WEEK FOR THE GPB TOP TEN RANKINGS.

WE ARE STARTING WITH 3 A, LET'S HIT IT.

>> LET'S HIT IT AND START WITH 3 A AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE RANKINGS.

CEDAR GROVE, YOU COULD TAKE 3 A AND CUT THAT IN HALF, THEY ARE ALL RIGHT THERE.

SANDY CREEK AT NUMBER SIX, CHEROKEE BLUFF.

HEART COUNTY, TWO VERSUS NINE, ANOTHER GREAT GAME THIS WEEK.

THE BULL DOGS, CONEY COUNTY AT NUMBER TWO, TWO TEAMS AT 6-0, ONE OF THE GAMES TO WATCH, ESPECIALLY IN TRIPLE A MONROE AREA, ALSO BIG NUMBER SIX TO THE LEFT OF THE DASH RIGHT NOW AND A ZERO TO THE RIGHT OF THE DASH.

ALL OF THOSE UNDEFEATED TEAMS AT 5-0, 6-0.

DOUBLE A, ANOTHER CLASSIFICATION, WHERE YOU CAN SIT THERE AND GO RAYBURN, FITZGERALD, CALLOWAY, VANLASSIETER.

JEFF DAVIS, DOING THE BUSINESS AT THE PINELANDS 5-0.

NORTHEAST, AFTER THEIR LOSS TO WASHINGTON COUNTY, THEY'VE REBOUNDED AT 4-1.

DODGE COUNTY PLAYING COMPETITION ABOVE THEM AT 3-2.

PUTNAM COUNTY AT 6-0 OUT OF EATON.

WASHINGTON COUNTY LOSING THIS PAST WEEK DROPS TO NUMBER 10 IN OUR RANKINGS.

THEY ARE AT 3-1.

NEXT PAGE, IN SINGLE A, WE'LL GO THROUGH PUBLIC FIRST AND NOT A SURPRISE YOU SEE THE REGION OF DOOM AT 1-2, BROOKS COUNTY AT 3-2, IRWIN COUNTY INSIDE TRACK TO THE REGION TITLE AFTER WINNING IN THE FIRST WEEK OF REGION PLAY DOWN THERE.

MACON, DEXTER DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB AT 5-0, SLY COUNTY, BIG GAME FOR THEM THIS WEEK.

SLY COUNTY HAS A GAME I WANT TO SAY WITH MACON COUNTY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG GAME FOR THEM THIS WEEK.

IT IS IN ELVILLE, SO MACON COUNTY AT SCHLEY COUNTY THIS WEEK.

CHAT CO AT.

WILL COX COUNTY.

THEY BEAT WHEELER IN A SHOOTOUT LAST WEEK, 37-34.

ON THE PRIVATE SIDE TRINITY CHRISTIAN AT 6-0, PAC, FELLOWSHIP REBOUNDED AFTER THEIR LOSS TO TRINITY AT FOUR, EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN IS 1-4 AT NUMBER FIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A REGION THAT ONLY HAS TWO OPPONENTS SO THEY HAVE TO SCHEDULE 97 NONREGION GAMES TO GET TO REGION PLAY AND THEY PLAY AS MANY GUYS AS THEY CAN.

THEY'LL GO UP IN CLASS AND PLAY ANY TIME OUT ON 75 SOUTH AT THE EAGLE'S LANDING PARKWAY EXIT TO GET TO REGION PLAY.

THEY'RE 1-4.

WESLEY AND ATHENS AND BROOK STONE AND DARLINGTON, BROOK STONE THEY GET A FORFEIT WIN THIS WEEK SO THEY ACTUALLY GO TO 6-1 BEFORE THEY'VE PLAYED A GAME BECAUSE OF A FORFEIT.

BROOK STONE AT 6-1, DARLINGTON 5-1, A LOT OF ACTION WITH TEAMS IN THE RANKINGS.

NEXT WEEK WE GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THE ORDERER.

GO TO GPB.ORG/SPORTS IN THE RANKING SECTION AND GET ALL THE RANKINGS.

5-1 IS AT 4-2.

BIG REGION RIVAL AT GEORGIA 316.

>> LOTS OF PEOPLE WANTING YOU TO PREVIEW GAMES.

A LOOK AT WHAT OUR GAMES TO WATCH ARE.

SEE IF MAYBE THEIR GAMES ARE ON THE LIST.

HARRELSON COUNTY IN CALLAWAY, ANOTHER TOUGH ONE IN WEST GEORGIA AT CALLAWAY STADIUM.

HARRELSON 5-1, CALLAWAY 4-1.

CONEY AND HART.

6-0 AND 6-0 AND I THINK THAT ONE IS IN HARTWELL.

MACON AND SCLEY, WACO AND PERRY, ONE THAT'S KIND OF FLYING BELOW THE RADAR BECAUSE THESE TEAMS EACH HAVE ONE LOSS.

PERRY, THOUGH, RANKED IN THE TOP TEN, WACO RANKED IN THE TOP TEN.

YOU'VE GOT THOSE TWO AS WELL.

PEBBLE BROOK AND EAST COWETA.

WARE AND COFFEE IS ONE YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

WARE IS AT 4-1, COFFEE 6-0.

WACO AND PERRY.

A LOT OF BIG GAMES THIS WEEK AND IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO ANY OF THESE TOWNS, DOUGLAS, BANE BRIDGE, HARTWELL, PERRY, GO SEE THESE GAMES IF YOU'VE GOT A GAME IN YOUR AREA, CHECK IT OUT.

GREAT COMPETITION HERE.

GO SUPPORT YOUR TEAMS AND SUPPORT YOUR TOWNS.

GO TO THESE HOME GAMES OR GO TO THE AWAY GAMES AS WELL AND BE AS VOCAL AND WHY GEORGIA IS ONE OF THE TOP STATES IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> YOU DIDN'T PUT LIKESIDE ON THERE.

>> GIVE ME UNTIL THE END OF THE SHOW.

>> MY TROJANS ARE PLAYING SPRAY BERRY.

A BIG MATCHUP.

>> SO WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST WHEN YOU PLAYED?

WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST WHEN YOU PLAYED?

>> I'M NOT LETTING YOU WIN.

I'M WAY TOO COMPETITIVE FOR THIS.

I'M NOT SAYING THE WORD.

NO DIRECTOR, I AM WAY TOO COMPETITIVE FOR THIS.

>> I'M GOING TO BREAK THE FOURTH WALL FOR A SECOND, TO DIRECTOR BONK, I LIKE YOUR IDEA ABOUT NEXT WEEK, SO LET'S DO THAT ONE NEXT WEEK.

THAT'S GOOD.

THE WORD WAS LASSITER.

I WILL GIVE YOU THAT.

>> I WON.

I WON.

>> THIS WEEK.

THIS -- I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE A MUSTACHE TO TWIRL.

THIS WEEK YOU WON.

I LIKE THE IDEA FOR NEXT WEEK.

ONCE AGAIN, WHEN WE COME BACK NEXT WEEK, IF SHE SAYS WHAT I HAVE IN MY BRAIN THAT HAS BEEN PASSED TO ME THROUGH THE MAGIC OF INTERPERSONAL FEEDBACK, HANNAH WILL WEAR A HELMET.

>> WE MIGHT HAVE TO DO THE REST OF THE SHOW NEXT WEEK.

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

LAST TWO ELEMENTS WE HAVE TWO MEDIA MEMBERS, JON KOON VAL DAHLIA PLAY BY PLAY -- VIDALIA PLAY BY PLAY.

>> AND JOE POWERS FROM THE -- [ INAUDIBLE ].

>> JOE POWERS FROM THE -- >> HERE'S THEIR DARK HORSES.

GO.

>> THE TEAMS THEY LIKE.

>> JEFF DAVIS.

DEFINITELY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO CLASSIFY THEM AS A DARK HORSE BUT THEY'VE GOT THE POTENTIAL TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A DEEP RUN.

METER HAS BEEN A LITTLE, LET ME SAY, MYSTERY BECAUSE THEY'VE SUFFERED A LOT OF LOSS, COUPLE GUYS MOVED AWAY, GOT A GUY THAT'S INJURED BUT RODNEY GARVIN IS A GUY THAT'S GOING TO GET THE MOST OUT OF HIS KIDS ALL THE TIME.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL CALL ANY INDIVIDUAL NAME FOR YOU BUT I WILL TELL YOU WHICH WAY TO LOOK.

IF YOU LOOK OVER TO THE EAST SIDE OF LAWRENCE COUNTY YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TALENT THAT HAS GOTTEN STRONGER, BIGGER, FASTER AND BETTER TO PLAY FOOTBALL THIS YEAR THAN WE'VE SEEN AND SOME RECENT HISTORY ANYWAY.

I WOULD KEEP MY EYE ON WHAT COACH TURNER HAS OVER THERE AND UNDER HIS HAT HE HAS SOME ATHLETES.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE TEAMS?

>> JON IS RIGHT ON.

HE HAD THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAS WON IN SINGLE A. JOE AND JON ARE RIGHT ON WITH MENTIONING WITH METER AND EAST LAWRENCE AND ALL THOSE.

A LOT OF ACTION IN CENTRAL GEORGIA AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE REGIONS IN THE BLENDER AND WILL THESE TEAMS MAKE THEIR WAY OUT.

HANNAH, WANTED TO TRY TO BE A GOOD SPORT AND PUT THE HELMET ON.

>> I WAS TRYING.

>> NOT HAPPENING.

>> I WAS TRYING TO BE A GOOD SPORT.

GOING TO COME BACK ON WITH THE HELMET ON.

>> EARN IT BY SAYING THE WORDS IN MY EAR.

NO.

>> THERE ARE SO MANY COMMENTS I DIDN'T GET TO.

THE KICKER HERE FOR THE KICKER WE GO TO ALBANY IN GEORGIA FOR SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY AT DEERFIELD WINDSOR.

>> WATCH THE IMPACT, THE HELMET HIT RIGHT THERE.

POPPED UP INTO THE AIR.

GOES BACKWARDS AND SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY STILL GETS THE FIRST DOWN.

DEER FIELD WINDSOR WOULD WIN THE GAME AS A BIG UNDERDOG AND THEY WOULD WIN THEIR FOURTH GAME IN THEIR HISTORY AS A MEMBER OF THE GHSA.

IT WAS -- THEY WERE 31 POINT UNDERDOG AND WON 37-36.

2-4 THIS YEAR.

SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY WON IT LAST YEAR.

SOMETIMES LADY LUCK HAS TO GO YOUR WAY.

BALL POP IN THE AIR.

GREAT HIT.
