THAT'S JOHN NELSON.

I'M HANNA GOODEN.

IT IS WEEK 11 WHICH MEANS WE ARE IN THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

25 MORE TO GO, TOMORROW IN BRACKETOLOGY WILL BE IN FULL SWING ON THE POST GAME SHOW AND HERE ON GP, B, THIS IS JOHN'S FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE ALREADY.

LOOK AT HIS SMILE.

GET YOUR PENS OUT.

GET YOUR PENS OUT.

NO PENCILS ALLOWED ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

NO PENCILS ALLOWED.

LOCK IT DOWN.

>> WE HAVE A NEW FRIEND TO INTRODUCE.

>> WE HAVE.

>> THOSE OF YOU WHO GOT TO WATCH THE GEORGIA PODCAST ON MONDAY.

I ASKED SUMO ROBINSON.

I SAID OKAY.

YOU HAVE A HELMET THAT YOU CAN ADD TO THE SET AND FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER THEY FAIL INSPECTION AND THEY'RE PICKING UP DUST IN THE FIELD HOUSE.

TELL YOU WHAT?

I HAVE A HELMET FOR YOU.

ONE OF THE ASSISTANTS INTO THE FIELD HOUSE COMES OUT WITH THIS -- >> SHINY, BRAND-NEW, 2022 -- >> SHINY, SHINY, SHINY HELMET, BUT THAT IS NOT ALL.

FIRST OF ALL, THANKS TO SUMO FOR THAT.

>> WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN VERY MANY -- WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED VERY MANY BRAND-NEW HELMETS.

THAT'S ON PURPOSE.

I KNOW, BUT THAT'S INCREDIBLE AND THAT'S EXPENSIVE.

WE'RE PUTTING THAT ON THE SET.

>> NO DOUBT.

WE HAVE ANOTHER NEW FRIEND AND WE'LL VIOLATE A TV TENET RIGHT HERE.

HERE WE GO.

THANK YOU -- >> THAT IS A MUCH, MUCH SMALLER HELMET.

>> THAT IS HALF THE -- PUT THESE HELMETS.

>> I WILL EVENTUALLY.

THANKS TO DARREN DOWN THERE IN ELLENVILLE AND I'LL PLACE THIS DOWN ON THE DESK SO WE CAN COMPARE AND CONTRAST WITH OUR FRIENDS IN SOUTH PALDING.

>> THIS HAS GOT TO BE A RUNBACK HELMET AND AN OLD ONE, TOO.

>> I THINK THIS IS A 14 OR A 14, 2014.

THIS IS A 2014 HELMET IN SLY COUNTY, AND THAT IS NOT ALL BECAUSE.

>> THEY SENT THIS FOR HANNA TO ADD TO HER STACKS.

SO HANNA GETS A SLAG COUNTY HAT TO ADD TO HER STACKS FOR EVERYTHING THAT SHE'S ACCUMULATED FOR HANNA.

>> ALL RIGHT.

SOMETHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ON THE TOP OF THE SHOW.

>> VERY QUICKLY.

WE JUST WANTED TO SEND ALL OF OUR LOVER AND WARMEST THOUGHTS AND REGARDS TO SHATOOGA AND OUR FRIENDS AT MILL CREEK AND THE BURKE COUNTY COMMUNITY AND OBVIOUSLY, OUR FRIENDS AT THOMPSON WHO HAVE ONE OF THE GREAT PUNTERS LOST TO US THIS MORNING.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO SEND OUR LOVE AND BEST FOR EVERYBODY IN SHATOOGA.

WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE THINKING ABOUT YOU IN THAT WAY, TOO AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE THINKING ABOUT YOU IN THE REGULAR SEASON.

?

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH YEAR FOR HIGH SCHOOLS WITH LOSING ATHLETES, MILL CREEK WITH THE CHEERLEADER AND LOST A COUPLE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN A DIFFICULT SEASON.

>> TOO, TOO MANY AND WE WANTED TO GIVE A SHOT OUT TO EVERYBODY IN THE FOUR COMMUNITIES AND TO EVERYONE HERE AROUND THE STATE.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT, JOHN.

>> YEAH.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR IT THROUGH MY MIKE.

>> MY STOMACH IS GROWLING.

>> I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, EVERYBODY.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FOR LUNCH BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY.

>> I'M HUNGRY.

>> MAKE US EVEN MORE HUNGRY AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HAVING FOR LUNCH.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT WEEK NUMBER TEN AND RECAP OUR GAME OF THE WEEK AND IT WAS THE REGION 5 6A SHOWDOWN AT SPARTAN STADIUM AND JOHN, THIS ONE WAS ALL PANTHERS QUARTERBACK AARON NOLAN DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST GAME AND HE WAS PASSING FOR 287 YARDS AND FOUR T.D.s WHILE THE COMMISSION PLAYER AND JAHAIL MIDDLEBROOK FOR FOUR TOUCHDOWNS AND I'M OBVIOUSLY KIDDING.

HE HAD AN AMAZING GAME.

>> THE NIFTY PLUNGE THAT THAT SCORE WAS FANTASTIC AND TO THINK THAT THAT GAME, YOU SAW THE FIRST HIGHLIGHT AND IT WAS 7-0 SOUTH PAULDING, AND A TOP 20 TEAM NATIONALLY AND AARON NOLAN AIRING IT OUT, GOES ON TOP AND 68-14, THE FINAL, AND 19 CARRIES FOR 258 AND THERE'S YOUR FINAL, DOWN 7-0 AND DOWN 67-0 AND SHOUT OUT TO SOUTH PAULDING, AND LAYS THE HAMMER DOWN IN A REGION GAME THAT DECIDED 1s AND 2s AND WE GOT TO SEE WHY.

THEY CLINCHED THE TITLE FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE GAMES THAT I HAD MY EYES ON.

AND IT WAS THE FOUR-WAY TIE FOR THE LEAD IN LEGION 2 5A.

DO I HAVE MY WRONG REGION WITH A 40-38 WIN OVER CHAMBLISS.

WHICH ONE WAS NEXT ON MY LIST?

A 24-6 WIN OVER VALDOSTA AND THESE MOUNTAIN SCHOOLS HAVE MET 43 TIMES AND IT WAS BY FAR THE BIGGEST GAME AND 48-10 TO CLINCH THE REGION 7 3A TITLE AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM, WE HAD RAVEN COUNTY VERSUS COMMERCE AND REGION 12-A WITH A 36-0 WIN IN REGION PLAY ON THE YEAR AND 6 AND 3 AND 3 AND 2.

YOU TOOK MY FIRST GAME FROM ME.

>> YOU TOOK MY FIRST GAME FROM ME AND MY SCOREBOARD WAS OUT OF WHACK.

>> LET'S GO TO SHOW YOU THE GAME THAT I HIJACKED FROM HANNAH.

THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THEIR REGION BEATING LEE COUNTY, 31-30 AND WARNER ROBBINS IS GETTING THE FULL SONG AS WE GET TO THE END OF THE SEASON, TOO.

COACH TANK DOING REALLY WELL WITH STEPHENS COUNTY AND A BIG BATTLE IN SINGLE 8 AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER IN THEIR REGION AND SWAMP WAR.

>> 33-28 AND WE HAD RUSS MURRAY ON THE POSTGAME SHOW AND HE GOT TO BREAK DOWN TO THE REST OF THE STATE WHAT SWAMP WAR MEANS.

TRADITIONALLY IT IS FOLSTON AND HEINZ WARD, AND THERE'S NO DIRECT ROUTE AND YOU'VE GOT TO GO UP AND DOWN TO GET AWAY FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.

FANTASTIC RIVALRY AND WHETHER YOU ARE AT CAMP BAILEY OR DAWN TYSON FIELD.

GO CATCH IT, IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD A CHANCE.

THE PLAY OF THE WEEK COMES FROM ONE OF MY TOP FIVE GAMES ON MY SCOREBOARD AND DECATUR VERSUS CHAMBLISS WHERE THE SLICKER IS THE GAME WINNER.

WE'LL SHOW NORTHSIDE COLUMBUS AND THAT'S ONE OF THE OTHER TOP STORYLINES ON THE WEEK.

MALAIKAI MOSLEY GETS IT THERE.

>> DID I MESS THESE UP?

>> I DON'T KNOW, REGION TITLE FOR NORTH SIDE COLUMBUS GETS THEIR FIRST REGION TITLE EVER AND CAUGHT UP WITH THE HEAD COACH FOR MY WEEKLY COLUMNS AND MALAIKAI IS HOSTING ONE OF THE TOP RUSHERS IN THE STATE CLOSING IN ON 2,000 YARDS AND THEY HAVE A REGION TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, EVER, NOT JUST THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, BUT THE FIRST TIME EVER-EVER AND THE FIRST TIME WITH NORTH SIDE COLUMBUS.

>> THAT WAS THE EARLY KICKER.

>> WE'LL DO THE PLAY OF THE WEEK AT THE END OF THE SHOW AND THAT WILL BE HOW THE GAME THAT WAS AT THE TOP OF THE SCOREBOARD ENDED UP AND THE TOP OF HANNA'S SCOREBOARD.

>> BUT YEAH, BIG STORY OUT OF THE WESTERN FRONT AND THE FIRST-EVER REGION TITLE AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY.

>> LET'S PUT A BOW ON WEEK TEN.

>> 39 DOWN, 25 TO GO, AND MY MATH IS RIGHT FOR 64.

21 GETS TO BE DECIDED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WITH ONES AND TWOS IN THE BLENDER AND BECAUSE WE HAVE 25 TO GO, THAT MEANS THAT YOU'VE GOT SOME REGIONS GOING INTO TODAY WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE AND YOU HAVE 5-4 IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT REGIONS AND FOUR CHASING INTO TWO SPOTS TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE AND YOU HAVE GROUPINGS IN REGION 2, AND TWO AA AND NEXT IN THE PLAYOFF AND WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS SOME FOLKS WOULD STARE AT EVERYBODY ELSE RIGHT NOW.

THOSE SEASONS ARE DONE AND THEIR SEASONS ARE IN THE BARN AND THEY MIGHT GO TO A GAME.

THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING THIS FRIDAY AND THEY'RE JUST HANGING OUT AND THEY'RE FILLING OUT THEIR BRACKETS WITH THE REST OF US, AND SO IF I'M A ONE AND I'VE GOT MY WEEK OFF AND MAYBE IF I'M NORTH SIDE COLUMBUS AND MAYBE I'LL MAKE A TREK TO DEKALB COUNTY AND HAVE THE POSSIBLE 4 SEED THAT I MIGHT BE FACING.

I'LL HAVE COACHES PUTTING MILES ON THEIR CARTERS BECAUSE THE NEXT OPPONENT IS THE PLAYOFF TEAM.

THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING TEAM.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE TEN GAMES TO GO YOU'RE KICKING BACK WATCHING EVERYBODY ELSE.

>> IN THE FACEBOOK COMMENT SECTION, GOOD AFTERNOON FROM JACKSON COUNTY, ARE WE READY FOR POST-SEASON FOOTBALL?

>> I'M ALWAYS READY FOR POST-SEASON FOOTBALL, BUT WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE REGULAR SEASON FIRST!

>> NO, JOHN, WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD.

PATIENCE!

PATIENCE!

PATIENCE.

>> LET'S HAVE EVERYONE CATCH UP WITH POST-OPPONENT PLAYOFF.

LET'S ENJOY THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

LET'S ENJOY IT.

WE'RE IN THE SPRINT AND GEORGIA STATE STARTS ANEW AFTER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WHEN THE BRACKETS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND FIGURING OUT THE PER MU TAKES AND COMBINATIONS THAT CAN HAPPEN PLUS THE GEORGIA STATE.

>> STICK AROUND FOR THE POST GAME SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL BE PAPER AFLYING.

LET'S CHECK OUT WHAT EVERYONE'S HAVING FOR LUNCH.

>> UNDERSTOOD.

THAT'S WELL PLAYED.

>> JESSE IS HAVING A T-BONE STAKE WITH MUSHROOMS AND GRAVY AND MARINADE AND SOME BUFFALO WINGS.

>> THE BUFFALO WINGS ARE FOR TOMORROW.

>> YUM!

>> T-BONE STEAK FOR LUNCH.

>> GOOD STUFF.

>> YOU'RE MAKING HANNA HUNGRY.

>> SHOT ME LIVE IS HAVING BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE.

>> GOOD DEAL.

>> LET'S SEE.

MICHAEL DEVAIN IS HAVING CHICKEN SALAD AND HOPING FOR CHICK-FIL-A IF IT GETS DELIVERED.

MAYBE THE CHICKEN SALAD IS THE BACKUP.

>> I THINK THE CHICKEN SALAD IS IN RESERVE AND YOU KNOW WHERE THE CHICKEN SALAD EXISTS AND I KNOW THE CHICKEN SALAD IS THERE.

I NEED TO HAVE IT.

NO OFFENSE TO CHICKEN SALAD.

IT'S OVER THERE.

I KNOW YOU EXIST.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE CAROLTON TROJANS?

>> THEY'RE THE NEXT OPPONENT PLAYOFFS, BY THE WAY.

YOU RUN THE TABLE AT 10-0 AND THE NEXT OPPONENT PLAYOFFS.

YOU SIT THERE AND LOOK AT THAT REGION AND IT IS 4 FOR 3.

WE KNOW THAT CAROLTON IS IN THE BARN AS THE ONE.

PEBBLEBROOK AT 1 AND AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT THOSE CHASING THE NUMBER THREE SPOT.

CARROLLTON, I DON'T THINK THEY'RE KICKING BACK IN THEIR EASY CHAIRS GOING LIKE THIS.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE DOING THAT.

THEY'RE DOING AS MUCH BRACKETOLOGY AND THEY'LL BE THE ONES THAT WILL TRAVEL TO A GAME OR WATCH THE GAME ON THEIR FAVORITE DEVICE.

THEY'RE NOT DOING THIS.

THEY'RE MAPPING UP ALL OF THIS, AND BRACKETS WITH THE PARAGRAPHS AND THE BACK OF EACH ONE.

>> LET'S TURN THE PAGE AND THIS IS "COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF."

I'M HANNA GOODEN, THANKS FOR JOINING US.

IT'S THE 7A MATCHUP AND THIS IS ALSO FOR THE REGION TITLE AND THE BULLDOGS ARE 7 AND 2 AND 5 AND 0 FOR REGION PLAY AND THEY HAVE 45-8 LAST FRIDAY AND THE BULLDOGS ARE 5 AND 0 IN REGION PLAYING AND THE 15-3 OVER PEACH TREE RIDGE AND RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATCHUP?

>> THIS WILL BE A FUN ONE.

ALL VERY TRADITIONAL AND GWINNETT COUNTY RIVALRY AS I GRAB MY REGION'S 7 POSITIONS AND 5 AND 0 AND THEN YOU HAVE META CREEK PEACH TREE RIDGE DISCOVERY.

SO YOU HAVE META CREEK AND DISCOVERY 2 AND 4 AND THEN WE GET INTO MAPS.

SO RIGHT NOW, 1 AND 2 TAKEN CARE OF WITH YOUR GAME AT GPB.

3, 4 AND 5 WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHO'S NOT GOING AND WHERE.

IT'S 5 FOR 4 AND TWO SEPARATE GROUPS.

LUCKY WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS, I WAS, LIKE, MAN, I'VE HEARD THAT NAME SO MANY TIMES AND HE IS A GEORGIA LEGACY AND HIS TWO UNCLES PLAYED AND BELLS FOR YOU GUYS.

THE LUCKY TRIPLETS IN THE LATE 1990s WHICH IS SO WEIRD TO SAY THE LATE 1990s.

DOESN'T THAT FEEL LIKE TEN YEARS AGO?

>> LIKE LESS THAN THAT, REALLY.

>> SO HE COMMITTED TO GEORGIA AND THAT'S MY INTERVIEW FOR RECRUITING 2022 AND WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO GET THE W. >> THEY HAVE GREAT PLAYERS IN THE FRONT AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE PLAYS AND THEY HAVE A GOOD TEAM AND WE HAVE TO EXECUTE.

SO HE IS PLAYING FOR THE FAMILY LEGACY AND HE CANNOT WAIT TO FILL SOME BIG SHOES.

>> THE BIG THING IS THAT HANNA IS TALKING ABOUT THE LATE '90s AND I REMEMBER THE STORY THAT WE DID ON THE LUCKY TRIPLETS ON GPB, AND I GO BACK TO COVERING LUCKY TRIPLETS BEFORE WE GET TO GEORGIA.

>> PACING YOURSELF, JOHN.

>> CHECK OUT RECRUITING 2022 AND IT WILL AIR AT 7:00 TOMORROW NIGHT ON GPB.ORG/SPORTS AND WE WILL BE THERE AFTER THE POST GAME SHOW AND THE RECRUITING SHOW WILL GIVE JOHN MORE GRAY HAIRS.

>> NO, IT DOESN'T GIVE ME GRAY HAIRS AT ALL.

THE RECRUITING SHOW FOR ME IS GLEN GARY.

IT ALWAYS IS.

GLEN GARY.

>> WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT, JOHN?

ALWAYS BE CLOSING.

ALWAYS BE CLOSING.

SO UNTIL ALL OF THOSE FAXES ARE IN ON SIGNING DAY, WE'RE JUST -- WE'RE JUST DIRECTING PLANES ON TARMAC.

>> IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO GEORGIA.

>> OUR STREAMING GAME OF THE WEEK.

SCARBOROUGH FOR THE HOME COMING.

WHAT IS ON THE LINE IN THIS ONE, JOHN?

>> NOTHING.

JUST A REGION 5 3A TITLE.

NOTHING'S ON THE LINE FOR THIS ONE.

>> REGION 5.

HERE'S YOUR RUNDOWN FOR REGION 5.

CEDAR GROVE AT 2 AND 0.

THEY'RE BOTH AT 1 AND 1.

DOUGLAS IS AT 0 AND 2.

THESE FOUR TEAMS ARE ALL GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS ONCE AGAIN AND THAT ONE DETERMINES THE REGION TITLE AT GPB.ORG AND WE JUST DON'T KNOW THE ORDER YET AND FILL THINGS OUT IN PENCIL UNTIL THE POST GAME SHOW.

THIS WILL BE A GOOD ONE.

>> WE ALSO HAVE FLAG FOOTBALL, TONIGHT, DOUBLEHEADER AND AGAIN, THIS IS STREAMING ON GPB.ORG, AND THE GIRLS HAVE BEEN KILLING IT THIS SEASON AND THE FLAG FOOTBALL COVERAGE HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING AND YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

ARE YOU GOING OUT THERE?

>> I AM GETTING READY FOR BRACKETOLOGY.

>> OH, YOU CAN DO IT ALL.

>> I CAN DO IT ALL.

HEBREW CHRISTIAN, WE HAD THEM LAST WEEK ON GPB.ORG, THEY ARE OUT OF THE BLOCK AT 11 AND 0 AND DEFINITELY A TEAM TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHEN IT COMES TO FLAG FOOTBALL.

NOW THAT WE'RE UP TO 200 SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA THAT ARE PLAYING ACCREDITED AND SANCTIONED FLAG FOOTBALL AND LET'S SEE IF THEY'RE CLOSER WITH THE RATIOS WITH HIGH SCHOOLS PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL.

OVER 200 SCHOOLS PLAYING FLAG.

VERY, VERY COOL.

>> WE HAVE PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT GAMES.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S ON THE GAMES TO WATCH.

>> DALLAS COUNTRY CENTRAL NORTHSIDE.

WE HAD CHAD ALLEN ON THE POST GAME SHOW TWO WEEKS AGO, I BELIEVE, AND HE SAID THAT DESTINY IS IN THEIR OWN HANDS.

THEY BEAT THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL.

THEY GET THE REGION TITLE.

>> YOU'RE CHASING A TALL ORDER AND THAT IS ONCE AGAIN, ONE THAT IS EVERYTHING ON THE LINE WILL.

>> COUNTY AND COOK AND THAT IS POSITIONING AFTER THE WEB GAME LAST WEEK IN REGION 8 AA AND BOTH TEAMS 1-0 FOR REGION 26A AND HANCOCK CENTRAL AND JOHNSON COUNTY AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME GOING, JOHN, WHY DID YOU PUT HANCOCK CENTRAL AND JOHNSON COUNTY IN AS YOUR LAST MATCHUP.

>> WHY DIDN'T YOU?

>> THANK YOU.

>> TUCKER WHO WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HERE SINCE THE LAST JUNIOR YEAR LAST SEASON AND THIS SEASON ON MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER.

>> WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HIM ABOUT COMPS AND EVERYTHING AND THERE IS A RUNNING BACK THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW IN THE LATE '70s AND EARLY '80s NAMED HERSCHEL.

>> I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

>> TUCKER GETS 443 YARDS TONIGHT IN THE GAME AGAINST HANCOCK CENTRAL AND HERSCHEL WALKER'S RECORD FOR CAREER YARDS GOES AWAY.

>> OH, HE'S GOING TO BREAK IT.

>> HE'S GOING TO BREAK IT.

HIS NUMBER IS 242 FOR JERMINE TUCKER AND HE HAD 273 LAST WEEK ON 13 CARRIES IN THEIR WIN OVER TWIGS COUNTY AND CAN HE GET NORTH OF 242 TONIGHT TO BREAK HERSCHEL WALKER'S RECORD.

>> THAT'S WHY I HAD IT AS MY NUMBER FIVE.

>> THAT DOES DESERVE A WOW.

>> THAT DESERVES A WOW.

IT DOES.

I'M HOPING HE BREAKS IT.

I'M ALWAYS FOR BREAKING RECORDS.

>> THE GPB SPORTS RANKINGS ARE OUT AND LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBER ONE WHICH REMAIN UNCHANGE AND WOULD THERE ARE NEW FACES IN THE TOP TENS LIST, GPB.ORG, AND DOUGLAS COUNTY ENTERS CLASS 6A AT NUMBER TEN AND BAINBRIDGE AT NUMBER NINE AND IN CLASS 2A, THEY RETURNED TO THE CLANK RANKINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NUMBER 10.

ST. FRANCIS, ONE OF THE FIRST TO BE IN THE BARN WITH THE FIRST-EVER REGION TITLE FOR ST. FRANCIS.

SO WELL DESERVED.

GREAT SEASON SO FAR.

REGION TITLE FOR YOU AND YOU'RE IN THE TOP TEN AT GPB.

>> TIME TO JUMP BACK IN AND I LEFT TIME TO TALK TO EVERYBODY.

>> JOHN, SHUT UP.

SO I DID HAVE A COMMENT AND WE LOVE CHEESE ON THIS SHOW.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO TURN COFFEE INTO AN ESPRESSO.

>> WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES AN ESPRESSO DIFFERENT THAN THE NORMAL COFFEE?

>> IT WILL CONFUSE YOU.

>> IT WILL.

OKAY.

>> BUT COFFEE AND WARE COUNTY AND WE CAUGHT UP WITH JASON STRICKLAND AND MIKE KO AND WE STARTED DOING THE RIVALRY FOR GEORGIA PODCAST AND THEY WERE GREAT SPORTS IN ANSWERING ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS AND COACH STRICKLAND, IF YOU MISSED THE SOUND BITE WHERE THE COACH WAS, LIKE, YEAH.

I DON'T WANT A TEAM AT THEIR BEST, I WANT THEM AT THEIR WORST AND IT WILL BE A GREAT GAME IN SOUTH GEORGIA AND IT WILL BE AT JARDINE STADIUM.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TICKET YOU'LL HAVE TO GET ONE BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THERE EARLY TO GET PARKING AND IT WILL BE A GREAT PARTY AND EVERYONE IS SHOWING UP TO BE THERE WITH EVERYBODY FROM DOUGLAS AND COFFEE.

BIG GAME DECIDES IT ALL AND A 1 AND A 2 AND A WINNER TAKE ALL IN THE REGION THERE TOMORROW NIGHT.

>> SENIOR NIGHT AT THE BRANCH AND THEY'RE HAVING A TOUGH YEAR THIS YEAR AND FOR OUR SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD AND IT WAS GREAT TO CATCH UP AND ONLY TWO TONIGHT AND WHO WAS NUMBER 2 IN 5A AND OUR RANKINGS?

>> I MEAN, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE COMBINATION OF WEAR AND COFFEE AND CREEKSIDE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE WINNER OF REGION 1 GOING UP WITH CREEKSIDE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THOSE THREE TEAMS RIGHT NOW AND DEPENDING ON THE POLL, SOME HAVE SHOWN COFFEE, SOME HAVE SHOWN CREEKSIDE AND SOME HAVE SHOWN WHERE, BUT THOSE THREE TEAMS ARE DEPENDING ON THE POLL AS THE ONE, THE TWO AND YOUR THREE, BUT IT'S BREAKING UP IN THE TOP OF THOSE RANKINGS.

>> COLE MOORE, 4 AND 0 IN REGION PLAY AND THEY HAVE THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON TOMORROW.

>> NO, NO, TWO MORE.

NORTH SIDE.

>> THEY ALREADY HAVE, WHAT IS THIS GAME.

THAT IS NOT A GAME.

THAT IS ACCURATE.

IT'S THE GAME AGAINST NORTH SIDE, AND JUST NOW DELAYED THINGS OUT OF 6A.

4-0, AND 3 AND 1, 6 AND 3, IT WAS BIG.

THEY POLL VAULTED THEM AND LEE COUNTY RIGHT NOW AT 2 AND 2 AND THEY BOTH HAVE ONE GAME TO GO AS WELL AND VETERAN, 1 AND 3, A PART OF THE DISCUSSION AND RIGHT NOW, WINNER OF THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL NORTH SIDE AND THE FREQUENT GUEST ON THE POST GAME SHOW HAS DONE TREMENDOUS STUFF AT THE INTERSECTION.

>> KEITH BLALOCK SAYS CAN WE SHOW TIPTON SOME LOVE?

THE MOST CONSISTENT TIP.

>> IT'S WHAT THE COACH HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO TO TURN THAT PROGRAM AROUND AND THEY'VE HAD A ROUGH YEAR IN REGION 1 6A, AS WELL.

THEY HAD A BIG LOSS LAST WEEK, AND I THINK IT WAS LOST IN THE COUNTY.

IT'S A LONG TERM COUNT.

>> I MISSED THE WINK AT THE END OF HIS COMMENT.

HEY, THEY'RE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN RIGHT NOW.

>> CREEKSIDE IN THE HOUSE.

WHAT HAVE WE MISSED?

>> YOU'RE THE ONE LOOKING AT THE COMMENTS.

YOU'RE GOT TO TELL ME.

I AM.

I AM.

I'M ALSO SCROLLING.

A LOT OF WARE COFFEE.

>> AS THERE SHOULD BE.

>> GET THERE EARLY.

IF YOU'RE IN WAY CROSS, START HEADING NORTH TO DOUGLAS AND THAT'S HOW THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WILL BE HEADING NORTH AND THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR APART BECAUSE IT WILL BE THAT CROWDED AND IT WILL BE A GREAT ENVIRONMENT.

>> MURRIETA IS PROBABLY THE BEST 4 AND 5 TEAM AND THEY'VE GOTTEN RIP HALTING.

>> THAT'S A WINNER TAKE ALL BECAUSE IF MARRIETTA WINS.

>> HARRISON'S AT 2-2.

THEY'RE DONE AT 3-7 THIS YEAR, BUT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE MINI REGION.

MINI, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THERE ARE REGIONS WHERE YOU'VE HAD TO SCHEDULE A LOT OF NON-REGION GAMES.

YOU'VE HAD TO SCHEDULE 1, 6 AND ONE HAD TO SCHEDULE SEVEN NON-REGION GAMES AND SO YOU LEARN A LOT ABOUT YOURSELF EVEN IF THE SCHEDULE IS TILTED THE WAY THAT IT IS.

SO RIGHT NOW, MARRIETTA, 4 AND 5 AND HARRISON AT 3 AND 7 THAT FEATURE AT 4 AND 5 AND ONCE AGAIN IT'S A FOUR-GAME SPRINT IN THESE REGIONS.

SO YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT YOURSELF IN SEASON 1.

YOU'RE FORCED TO, MEANING YOUR NON-REGION SCHEDULE AND YOU'RE IN THE SPRINT IN THE REGION'S SCHEDULE TO GET YOU READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

SO YOU WILL SEE SOME TEAMS ACROSS ALL OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS AND YOU'LL HAVE AN ODD-LOOKING WIN/LOSS RECORD AND YOU'LL SIT THERE AND GO THERE'S NO WAY THAT TEAM X WILL BE TEAM Y BECAUSE THEY HAVE A RECORD, AND IT'S WHAT YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF IN SEASON 1 AND SEASON 2, AND YOU MAKE YOUR HOME GAMES AND SOME OF YOU MAY GO TO MARRIETTA WITH A 4 SEED AND THEY MIGHT BE IN FOR A BIT OF AN AWAKENING AGAINST A TEAM LIKE A MARRIETTA.

>> WE HAVE WAYNE COUNTY FOLKS IN THE HOUSE AND WE PROBABLY HAVE TO MOVE ON.

I LABELED THE VIDEOS WRONG BECAUSE OF MOM BRAIN.

THE PLAY OF THE WEEK COMES FROM ONE OF MY TOP GAME.

KIDDER VERSUS CHAMBLISS AND THIS IS THE 53-YARD HALF-BACK PASS AND 11 SECONDS TO GO, 4 5A CAPTURES THE FIRST REGION TITLE AND THE BULLDOGS AND THE FIRST REGION TITLE AFTER STARTING THE SEASON 1 AND 4 AND SOMETIMES YOU STR TO GO BACK TO THE PLAYBOOK AND DECATUR DID THAT.

>> NOW WE'LL RE-DO THE KICKER JUST ONE MORE TIME AND THIS COMES FROM OUR FRIEND JEFF PATERSON AND THE FIRST-EVER REGION TITLE IN SCHOOL HISTORY WITH A WIN OVER MACINTOSH.

>> LOTS OF TDs AND FOR THE RECORD, NEXT WEEK ON THE FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA PODCAST AND IT'S THE FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA ALL-STARS.

>> AND IT'S THE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEWS AND JACK HAS SAID HE'S READY AND -- >> YOU'RE WAY AHEAD OF THEM.

AND JACK PATERSON, READY TO CHOP IT UP FOR US TO TALK PLAYOFFS.

>> COOL.

CANNOT WAIT.

REMEMBER.

BECAUSE OF OFFICIALS, REMEMBER, FOLLOW -- FOLLOW YOUR GAMES AND FOLLOW YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA.

WE HAVE THREE, SIX, NINE, 18 GAMES TONIGHT BECAUSE OF OFFICIALS HAVING TO BE IN MULTIPLE PLACES BECAUSE OF THE OFFICIAL SHORTAGE, FIRST OFF, HERE'S YOUR FIRST IMPACT.

TONIGHT, YOU HAVE 18 GAMES.

THE CONTE GAME AS AN EXAMPLE IS EVEN A 6:30 KICKOFF BECAUSE OF THE TRAVEL THAT HARALSON COUNTY HAS TO HAVE.

>> ANY OF THOSE FOR REGION TITLES?

>> BENEDICTEN WILL ENFORCE A REGION TITLE AND CALLAWAY IS IN THE BARN, LET ME SEE.

>> METARIN IS ATTACHED TO IT AND THOSE TWO ARE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR START TIMES AND FOLLOW YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ATTACHED TO YOUR FAVORITE TEAM'S FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER AND 18 GAMES TONIGHT THAT CAN DECIDE THINGS AND THE WASHINGTON COUNTY GAME INVOLVING PUTNAM COUNTY IS ANOTHER ONE THAT IS ATTACHED.

THAT ONE HAS BEEN MOVED TO TONIGHT IN SANDERSVILLE AT 7:30.

THREE OF THE 19 OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HAVE IMPACTS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE.

THE PLAYOFFS WILL HAVE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DATES AND WE'LL KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE ON THAT, AS WELL.

>> WRAP!

WE'RE BEING TOLD TO WRAP!

>> SATURDAY WILL BE ROUND ONE AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FAVORITE TEAM.

>> WE HAVE TO GO.

WHO DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR GEORGIA TENNESSEE TEAM.

TAYLOR WANTS TO KNOW.

>> PICK ONE.

PICK ONE.

>> GEORGIA!

>> THAT'S THE RIGHT ANSWER?

TENNESSEE COVERS AND I THINK GEORGIA WINS.

>> WE ARE ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, TIKTOK, TWITCH.

FOLLOW US.

IN ALL OF THE PLACES FOR ALL OF THE FOOTBALL NEWS.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GAMES ON AIR, AND NORTH GWINNETT IS THE TV GAME AND TIME TO GO, JOHN.

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT.

WE HAVE TO GET SOME LUNCH.

I'M HUNGRY.

>> YES, LUNCH.
