THE COAST IS REPRESENTING, SO ONCE AGAIN, WE WANT TO SHOW YOU OFF TO THE REST OF THE STATE, SO REACH OUT TO SOCIAL MEDIA, EMAIL, GPBSPORTS.

JNELSON, WE WANT THIS SET TO BE BRIMMING WITH HELMETS.

WE HAVE MORE HELMETS THAN WE HAVE STUDIO SPACE SO WE HAVE TO WORK ON ROTATIONS AND LOOK AT KEY GAMES AND FIGURE OUT HOW OUR FRIENDS AND NEW FRIENDS CAN BE SHOWN OFF.

YOU SEE HERE, ALL THESE GUYS.

>> ALL RIGHT, BEFORE WE GET STARTED HERE, WE ALREADY HAVE PEOPLE GIVING US WHAT'S FOR LUNCH.

>> YES, AS THEY SHOULD.

>> KEEP THAT ROLLING IN THROUGHOUT THE SHOW.

WE HAVE ALEX DENARD, CHEESEBURGER AND HOT DOG FROM THE GRILL, MICHAEL BAXTER, LUNCH IS FRIED CHICKEN AND MAC AND CHEESE.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THE LOGISTICS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT STARVING ALL AFTERNOON BUT LET US KNOW WHAT'S FOR LUNCH, WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD, WHAT GAMES YOU ARE LOOKING OUT FOR, EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL AS WE ARE HEADING TOWARD WEEK 3, 4, DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

FOURTH WEEK OF COMPETITION RIGHT THIS WEEKEND.

>> WE GOT TO GET THINGS STARTED.

>> WE DO.

>> WE GOT TO GET THINGS ROLLING, GET ALL THOSE COMMENTS IN THE COMMENT SECTION AND WE WILL GET TO THAT IN JUST A BIT.

WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THE WEEK THAT WAS, THE OFFICIAL WEEK TWO, ACCORDING TO GHSA, BROOKWOOD AT COLLIN PHILLIPS, EAGLES BATTLED BACK FROM A FIRST HALF DEFICIT TO WIN IT.

>> DYLAN LONDERGEN.

THE COLLINVILLE DEFENSE HAD HIM UNDER PRESSURE.

LONDERGEN WAS THE SNEAK THERE.

LATE AT THE HALF, A 13-0 LEAD, THEN THEY END UP GETTING THAT SCORE LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER, AND THEN THE DEFENSE CLAMPS DOWN AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, MIKEY WINDS AND FIRES.

GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSIONER PLAYER OF THE GAME, BY THE WAY.

SO GOOD WORK BY COLLINS HILL.

MIKEY IS OUR PLAYER OF THE GAME.

DOWN 13-0, COME BACK TO WIN IT 16-13.

THAT WAS YOUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY GAME OF THE WEEK.

JUST SHOW MIKEY SHEEHAN RIGHT THERE.

TOTAL -- HAVING ME DO MATH -- 207 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE FOR MIKEY SHEEHAN ON THE DAY AS THEY GET THE WIN.

>> FRESHMAN DEUCE GERALDS HAD TWO TACKLES FOR LOSSES, THE DEFENSE, DEION CRAWFORD, TWO SACKS.

>> UNDER PRESSURE ALL NIGHT LONG WAS DYLAN LONDERGEN, SO KIND OF -- >> LIMITED TO 100 PASSING YARDS.

>> REALLY, REALLY TOUGH NIGHT FOR BROOKWOOD TO GO UP AGAINST A VERY TOUGH, VERY YOUNG COLLINS HILL DEFENSE, SO THAT DEFENSE YOU MENTIONED, DEUCE, WHO'S ONE OF THE FRESHMAN, FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES, SO THIS NEXT WAVE THAT'S COMING THROUGH, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE A WHILE.

>> THEY WILL PLAY CEDAR GROVE TOMORROW.

>> BUT REMEMBER, OKAY, BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER THAT'S ANTICIPATED, TOMORROW AND SATURDAY, KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR SCHEDULES AND YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA.

SOME GAMES, ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN FRONTIER, HAVE ALREADY BEEN MOVED UP TO TODAY, SO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FAVORITE TEAMS AND THEIR SCHEDULES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GAMES ARE WHEN THEY ARE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED.

YOU GOT GAMES MOVING UP TO BEING PLAYED TODAY BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

>> YEP, WEATHER WAS CRAZY LAST FRIDAY AS WELL.

>> I CAN ATTEST.

AND IT WILL BE CRAZY AGAIN THIS FRIDAY.

I WILL BURN THROUGH MY RAINCOATS FOR THE THIRD WEEK IN A ROW.

>> THAT DID NOT STOP GAMES FROM FINISHING UP.

HERE ARE MY TOP FIVE SCORES AND THE THEME IS FIRSTS.

SO, THE FIRST THREE GAMES ON THE BOARD ARE MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

RAVEN COUNTY, 36-72.

NEW HEAD COACH MICHAEL DAVIS WILL GO 3-0 ON THE YEAR.

CEDAR GROVE BEAT WEST LAKE, 30-20.

>> 20-0 WHEN THAT ONE GOT UNDER WAY.

>> I KNOW.

EARLY COUNTY DEFEATED SLY COUNTY, 19-17.

THEN, LED BY FIRST-YEAR HEAD COACH JUSTIN RODGERS, THOMAS COUNTY CENTRAL IS ONE OF THE STATE'S MOST IMPROVED TEAMS.

THEY DEFEATED BANE BRIDGE 35-14 AND FOR THE FIRST NONREGION GAME BECAUSE OF RECLASSIFICATION, THEY SMOKED ATHENS ACADEMY.

>> BIG WORK THERE.

RAVEN COUNTY PUTTING 72.

GREAT TO CATCH UP WITH COACH DAVIS FOR THE WEEKLY COLUMN THERE.

CEDAR GROVE UP 20-0 IN THAT ONE.

BIG WIN FOR EARLY COUNTY.

WE HAD THE HEAD COACH OF THE EARLY COUNTY ON THE POST SHOW, CAUGHT UP WITH THE HEAD COACH, BIG WIN FOR THEM AGAINST SLY.

SLY WAS TOP RANKED AT THE TIME.

I DIDN'T HAVE THEM DROPPING A WHOLE LOT IN THE GPB POLLS.

WHEN YOU GO TO GPB.ORG, LOOK AT THE RANKINGS SECTION.

THE TOP-RANKED TEAMS DID FALL A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN IF YOU'RE PLAYING UP IN CLASSIFICATION, THE WAY I LOOK AT IT IS YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE PLAYING UP IN CLASSIFICATION, YOU LOSE A CLOSE ONE, YOU DON'T REALLY FALL THAT MUCH IN MY BOOK WHEN I'M FILLING OUT MY RANKINGS.

>> JON, YOUR TOP FIVE GAMES THAT YOU HAD.

>> TEASES RIGHT TO IT.

CARROLLTON AND ROME.

CAPITAL T, CAPITAL G. THE GAME IN MIDDLE GEORGIA.

THAT WAS OUR MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE LAST WEEK AT GPB.ORG.

THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO WAS WATCHING THAT ONE.

WARNER ROBINS GOT THE DUKE THERE.

PERRY COUNTY OVER JONES BY 28.

PERRY PUTS UP 56 ONE WEEK, 42 THE NEXT WEEK, KNOCKS OFF A TALENTED JONES COUNTY TEAM.

AL CALVARY DAY, THAT ONE WAS CALLED IN THE THIRD QUARTER BECAUSE OF, GUESS WHAT?

LIGHTNING.

>> WEATHER.

>> THEN WE MENTIONED PLAYING UP IN CLASSIFICATION.

BROOKS COUNTY PLAYED COOK, BIG WIN FOR BYRON AND THE HORNETS, WINNING 32-28.

SO, COOK GOT THE BIG WIN OVER MAURICE FREEMAN, AND ONCE AGAIN, I DIDN'T DROP BROOKS COUNTY ALL THAT MUCH IN MY RANKINGS WHEN I WAS FILLING THEM OUT BECAUSE YOU'RE PLAYING UP IN CLASSIFICATION, SIGNATURE WIN HERE IN THE BYRON SLACK ADMINISTRATION.

>> SHOULD WE START DOING A WEATHER UPDATE?

>> YES.

>> SHOULD WE PUT MARK BROADWAY AND CHUCK ON SOME WEATHER GRAPHICS?

>> I THINK WE SHOULD.

>> YOU CAN STAND UP AGAINST THE WALL HERE LIKE A GREEN SCREEN AND SHOW US THE GEORGIA WEATHER.

>> CONSIDERING THE, YEAH, HONESTLY, IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA TO COME BACK UP HERE, SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THE GPB SPORTS, YOU SIT THERE AND GO, AND BY THE WAY.

BUT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A MONITOR.

>> I THINK THIS IS A NEW SEGMENT.

>> HERE'S THE WEATHER.

THE FRONT COMING THROUGH THIS WAY, AS YOU'RE LOOKING.

>> YOU'RE PERFECT.

>> WELL, BUT THE THING IS, I CAN STARE AT IT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE MONITOR OFF CAMERA LIKE THAT TO LET THINGS WORK.

LET ME STEP BACK INTO THE LIGHT.

>> WE'RE ALREADY TIGHT ON TIME.

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THIS TRAIN ROLLING AND THAT WOULD JUST -- YOU CAN DO THAT IN 20 SECONDS, THOUGH.

>> HERE'S THE WEATHER.

BANG.

NEXT SEGMENT, GO.

THIS WEATHER'S MOVING IN, IT'S GOING TO RAIN, I'M GOING TO GET WET.

DRESS APPROPRIATELY.

THERE YOU GO.

>> WE DO HAVE TO KEEP THIS TRAIN ROLLING.

>> ALL NIGHT LONG.

>> SO SPEAKING OF THE MAC AND THE GAME GOING TO O.T., WE TALKED ABOUT COACHES, LAST WEEK, THEY WERE PART OF OUR SHOW.

THIS WEEK, IT'S OUR PLAY OF THE WEEK.

THE WINNING TD IN O.T., LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

>> RIGHT HERE, CHASE REESE, 17 CARRIES FOR 122, FAKES THE HANDOFF HEADING TO THE RIGHT.

HE'LL GO ALL THE WAY FROM THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN TO THE LEFT.

SO, CHASE REESE IN THE TOP HALF OF THE FIRST, GETS THE GAME-LEADING SCORE AT THE TIME, THEN IT EVENTUALLY ENDS UP BEING THE GAME-WINNING SCORE THE NORTH SIDE DID NOT CONVERT ON THE FOURTH DOWN CONVERSION THERE, SO CHASE REESE, 17 FOR 122, RUNS IT IN FROM 15 YARDS OUT, PLAY OF THE WEEK FROM THE GAME, CAPITAL "T," CAPITAL "G" AT THE MAC.

VERY, VERY BUSY PLACE.

THANKS TO EVERYBODY IN MIDDLE GEORGIA FOR LETTING US SHOWCASE THAT GAME OFF TO THE REST OF THE STATE.

FANTASTIC GAME, AND IT'S GREAT TO SHOW YOU RIVALRIES LIKE THAT HERE AT GPB.

>> AND WE WILL BE FOREVER CALLING IT THE GAME, HOPEFULLY IT STICKS WITH BOTH FAN BASES.

>> THE GAME.

>> OKAY, BEFORE WE TURN OUR PAGE TO WEEK THREE.

>> OH, HI.

>> WE HAVE OUR BIGGEST STORY LINES.

>> AND SO, I'LL DO THE WEATHER THING.

HERE WE GO.

YOU'RE 3-0, AND IF YOU'RE 3-0, YOU GOT FOCUS.

59 SCHOOLS, IF I DO MY MATH RIGHT.

59 SCHOOLS, IF I COUNTED BEFORE WE CAME ON THE AIR, THEY'RE 3-0.

WELL DONE THERE.

STREAK IS OVER.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF TEAMS THIS PAST WEEK WITH LOSING STREAKS THAT WERE IN DOUBLE DIGITS.

THOSE ARE OFF THE BOARD.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE FOLKS.

NEW FACES, NEW PLACES.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TOP TEN, PLACES LIKE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND ALL OF THE RANKINGS THAT ARE ATTACHED THAT WAY, ALL THESE NEW FACES THAT WE'RE SEEING EARLY IN THE YEAR, EARLY IN THE LOWER CLASSIFICATIONS, RECLASSIFICATION GETS TO DO STUFF LIKE THAT, SO NEW FACES, NEW PLACES.

NUMBER FOUR, YEAH, JON NEEDS A NEW RAINCOAT.

WE MENTIONED THE WEATHER.

YEAH.

I NEED A NEW RAINCOAT.

CAN WE ACTUALLY -- I WISH I COULD HAVE FLIPPED THIS ORDER.

THIS FOUR NEEDS TO BE NUMBER ONE AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF -- >> I SNUCK THAT IN THERE.

>> JON NEEDS A NEW RAINCOAT.

THAT NEEDS TO BE THE TOP ONE, EVERYBODY ELSE SLIDES DOWN.

I'M GOING TO COME FORWARD.

THAT WAS COOL TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

BUT YEAH, JON NEEDS A NEW RAINCOAT.

>> JON NEEDS A NEW RAINCOAT.

>> HANNAH AIN'T WRONG ABOUT THAT ONE, JON NEEDS A NEW RAINCOAT.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE AND WILL STIPULATE, ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS WEEK, THAT JON NEEDS A NEW RAINCOAT.

I LIKE THAT FOURTH ADDITION.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME, YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'M TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR YOU, JON.

>> YES.

>> WE HAVE A WEATHER REPORT.

BILL SANDERS SAYS VERY HEAVY RAIN TOMORROW NIGHT AT WARNER ROBINS.

>> TELL ME SOMETHING I WISH I DIDN'T KNOW, BILL.

I KNOW.

IT WILL BE -- YEAH.

>> HAVING CHICKEN EMPANADAS FOR LUNCH AND ALSO, GO, WARNER ROBIN D-MEN.

WE HAVE A ROME QUESTION BEING SNUCK IN HERE BY A.B.

BUTLER.

>> WHAT A SURPRISE.

>> YOU GOT PERSONNEL ON OFFENSE, THIS COULD GIVE A HUGE SPARK FOLLOWING THE CARROLLTON LOSS.

THOUGHTS, JON?

>> ONCE AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH WHERE ROME IS CONCERNED, IT'S A VERY YOUNG TEAM.

GRADUATION'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE WHILE FOR THINGS TO COME TO FULL SONG BUT JUST REMEMBER, I'VE ALWAYS BROKEN THIS UP INTO THREE SEASONS.

SEASON ONE, SEASON TWO, SEASON THREE.

SEASON ONE, YOUR NONREGION PLAY WHICH YOU HOPE GETS YOU READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

TAKE SEASON ONE WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, WITH NONREGION, FOR THE MOST PART, TAKE THAT AS YOUR DEVELOPMENT WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING ALL OF THE NEW PLACES, NEW FACES, THAT CAN ALSO APPLY THE PERSONNEL TOO.

IT'S ALL ABOUT LEARNING AND FINDING WHO YOUR STARTERS ARE, FINDING WHAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH OFFENSIVELY, AND THEN BUILDING OUT YOUR PLAYBOOK FROM THERE.

SO, YOUNG TEAM, NEW FACES, NEW PERSONNEL, NEW PERSONNEL GROUPS, IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME.

IT'S OKAY.

>> CHRIS ELLERS IS HAVING MEATBALL SLIDERS.

WE GOT MOVE ON.

I'VE SAVED SOME MORE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS ON THE SIDE.

KEEP THOSE COMING IN.

IF YOU'RE JUST NOW JOINING US, THAT'S JON NELSON, I'M HANNAH GOODEN.

WE ARE TURNING THE PAGE, HAPPY WEEK THREE, THE OFFICIAL GHSA WEEK THREE OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON.

AND WHAT'S THE WEATHER GOING TO BE LIKE IN THIS NORTH GWINETT.

>> I WISH I COULD WANDER TO THE BACK OF THE SET AND RESURRECT THE JON'S TOP STORIES.

PARK VIEW AND NORTH GWINNETT, THAT'S GOING TO BE A FUN ONE.

GOT TO CATCH UP WITH BOTH COACHES AND FIND OUT WHAT THE DETAILS ARE.

WE GOT THE DEETS, AS THEY SAY.

IT'S A GREAT GWINNETT COUNTY RIVALRY AND FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE BROADCAST, BEGINNING OF THE BROADCAST, I'LL GIVE YOU A BIT OF A TEASE.

WE GO INTO THE WAYBACK MACHINE FOR ONE OF THESE COACHES AND THEIR PRE-COACHING CAREER.

>> WOW.

>> SO, THE WAYBACK MACHINE, IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF DIGGING, AND JESSE JUNG, THE MASTER OF EVERYTHING EDITING, WAS ABLE TO PIECE THIS TOGETHER.

>> THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

>> YEAH.

WE GO INTO THE WAYBACK MACHINE, AND TAKE A PEEK AT ONE OF THESE COACHES.

>> WHERE'S THIS AIRING?

>> IN MY HEAD.

>> OKAY, OKAY, GOT IT.

>> IN MY OPENING HIT, WHEN WE'RE IN PREGAME, SO, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 7:30 AND 7:36, WE GO INTO THE WAYBACK MACHINE, AND LOOK AT THE CAREER OF ONE OF THESE COACHES FROM THIS GAME.

>> NICE.

>> SO, IT WAS FUN TO KIND OF -- IT WAS FUN TO DO SOME DIGGING AND FIND OUT, OKAY, DOES THIS VIDEO EXIST?

CAN WE FIND IT?

WHERE CAN IT GO?

SO, IT MIGHT EVEN BE STANDARD DEF WHERE IT'S LIKE THIS AND YOU HAVE THE FUZZY STUFF ON THE OUTSIDE.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH, WE GO INTO THE WAYBACK MACHINE WITH ONE OF THE COACHES.

>> I'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE THAT VIDEO TOO.

>> YES, YOU WILL.

YOU'LL BE INSIDE WHERE IT'S DRY, WHERE I WILL NOT BE.

>> I KNOW.

ONE OF THE STARS ON THE FIELD FRIDAY WILL BE BULLDOGS DEFENSIVE LINEMAN CADEN McDONALD, OUR GPB DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR IN 2021.

HE HAD 20 SACKS, AMASSED ALMOST 60 -- MORE THAN 60 TACKLES, AN OUTSTANDING PLAYER, STILL MAKING HIS DECISION.

HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO NARROW IT DOWN TO CLEMSON, OHIO STATE, MICHIGAN, AND FLORIDA.

AND FLORIDA, MOST RECENTLY, HAS BEEN ON TWO VISITS THERE.

BUT HE SAID SOME GOOD THINGS ABOUT CLEMSON AND ALSO ABOUT PLAYING PARK VIEW ON FRIDAY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

>> WE JUST GOT TO COME TO WORK.

THEY GOT A GREAT TEAM, I GOT A LOT OF RESPECT FOR PARK VIEW, BUT WE GOT TO EXECUTE WELL THIS GAME AND HAVE EVERYBODY READY TO PLAY.

AND JUST KEEP WORKING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO PLAY.

>> SO WHEN IT COMES TO FLORIDA, HE FEELS LIKE HE CAN FIT INTO THE SCHEME RIGHT AWAY.

BILLY NAPIER HAS BIG HOLES ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE AND CLEMSON, IT'S CLOSER TO HOME AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECRUITING HIM FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

HE FEELS AT HOME THERE.

SO, I THINK IT'S BETWEEN CLEMSON AND FLORIDA.

HE WANTS TO PLAY IN THE S.E.C.

SO, HE WILL MAKE HIS DECISION OCTOBER 31st.

HALLOWEEN.

>> THAT'S GOING TO BE TRICK OR TREAT FOR SOMEBODY.

REMEMBER, THE HISTORY FOR NORTH GWINNETT AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLEMSON GOES BACK TO MITCH HYATT, ONE OF THEIR LITTLE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, WHO SAID THAT PATH HAS BEEN THERE IN THE PAST, NORTH GWINNETT TO CLEMSON TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON HALLOWEEN.

HOW'S THAT?

>> FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW, CHECK OUT RECRUITING 2022.

IT AIRS EVERY FRIDAY, 7:00.

YOU CAN ALSO WATCH IT ON GPB TV AND GPB.ORG/SPORTS.

COMES ON RIGHT BEFORE OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA'S GAME OF THE WEEK.

>> COMES ON RIGHT AFTER THE POST GAME SHOW, SO IT'S AN ENTIRE EVENING OF FOOTBALL, STARTS AT 7:00, ENDS PROBABLY LIKE, WHAT, ABOUT 3:00 A.M. >> SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

RECRUITING 2022.

>> WATCH IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

>> I HAVE COACHES AROUND THE STATE WHO WILL SIT THERE AND TELL ME, LOOK, WE LOVE THAT YOU GUYS DO THE REPLAYS OF ALL OF THAT, BECAUSE FIRST OFF, WE'RE AT OUR GAME, AND WE'RE DOING OUR STUFF, AND THEN IT TAKES US A WHILE TO WIND DOWN, SO WE WATCH YOUR REPLAY, AND WE, YOU KNOW, GIVES US A CHANCE TO SIT THERE AND LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE EVENING AND ALL THAT STUFF.

AND SO NO, THE COACHES AND EVERYBODY AROUND THE STATE THAT'S AT THEIR GAME EARLY IN THE EVENING, LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE'S THE REPLAY THAT COMES UP OF ALL OF OUR PROGRAMMING WHEN WE GO OFF THE AIR WITH ALL OF OUR FIRST RUN STUFF.

>> TIME TO ANNOUNCE OUR STREAMING GAME OF THE WEEK.

ST. PIOUS BLESSED TRINITY.

>> I WAS WONDERING WHY YOU GRABBED THAT.

>> BLESSED TRINITY.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THAT'S OUR GAME OF THE WEEK, JON.

>> SEE, BUT -- >> ST. PIOUS VERSUS BLESSED TRINITY, EVERYBODY.

THE WEB GAME OF THE WEEK.

>> WELL DONE.

THERE YOU GO.

>> DO NOT MISS IT.

>> THAT'S GOING TO BE -- THAT'S ANOTHER GOOD BATTLE HERE INSIDE THE PERIMETER WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ST. PIOUS AND BT.

GREAT SCHOOLS THAT HAVE GREAT PEDIGREES HERE.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT ONE.

THAT IS YOUR MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE.

THAT IS PART OF YOUR MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND THAT ONE SHOULD BE -- >> IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY IT SAYS, PARIS, THAT'S PRODUCER LAURIE'S CHEERLEADING MEGAPHONE.

>> BESTOWED AND BEQUEATHED TO US.

BUT IT GOT TO GOOD USE TO PROMOTE THE WEB GAMES.

WHAT'S THE WEB GAME AGAIN?

>> ST. PIOUS AT BLESSED TRINITY.

>> THERE YOU GO.

I FEEL LIKE EVERY TIME THAT WE MENTION THE SCHOOL NAME, SHE HAS TO HAVE THE MEGAPHONE NOW TO DO THAT.

>> 100%.

THE REST OF THE SHOW THROUGH THE MEGAPHONE.

>> THROUGH THE REST OF THE SEASON.

>> WE DID IT ON PURPOSE.

BLESSED TRINITY IS 2-0 ON THE YEAR AFTER MOVING UP TO 5A FROM 6A.

HEAD COACH GARRISON TOLD US THEY MIGHT HAVE ONE OF THE TOUGHEST SCHEDULES BUT THEY'RE EXCITED FOR IT.

SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

>> TELL YOU WHAT, WE'VE GOT AS CHALLENGING AN OPENING FIVE GAMES AS ANYBODY IN THE STATE, I THINK.

WE OPEN WITH THE FALCONS, WHO WERE A SEMIFINAL TEAM LAST YEAR, AND WE GO UP TO FLOURY BRANCH, WHO PUT ONE ON US LAST YEAR.

COACH TESTER'S BUNCH.

GOING TO BT AGAIN, WHICH IS OUR -- ANOTHER CATHOLIC SCHOOL RIVAL.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT GAME, PLAYING A PATRIOTISM GAME AND IT'S GOING TO BE A SPECIAL DAY FOR OUR FANS AND OUR PLAYERS.

THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT JEFFERSON, AGAIN A PERENNIAL POWER AND THEN PLAYING A LITTLE SCHOOL CALLED PARK VIEW FOR OUR FIFTH NONREGION GAME SO WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE CHALLENGED AND READY FOR REGION PLAY WHEN WE GET TO IT, AND NO MATTER WHAT RUSSELL WILSON WE COME OUT OF FUR FIRST FIVE GAMES, WE'LL BE PREPARED FOR THAT DAUNTING REGION SCHEDULE WHEN WE GET TO IT.

>> DAUNTING REGION SCHEDULE IT IS, AND HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO FACING A BRAND-NEW TEAM THEY'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE.

>> AND YOU'VE GOT 1-2 RIGHT NOW WITH ST. PIOUS AND CHAD TOOK OVER FOR PAUL STANDARD WHO IS NOW AT GELMER.

SO, ST. PIOUS, WE KNOW WHAT THEY'VE DONE OFFENSIVELY, FOR A LONG TIME.

IT IS BETWEEN THE TACKLES, IT'S RUNNING THE FOOTBALL, BUT YOU SAW THERE, IN THE INTERVIEW, WHERE THEY'VE KIND OF SPACED THINGS OUT A LITTLE BIT.

THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO PASS THE BALL.

WHAT THEY WOULD DO A LOT OF TIMES IS PASS THE BALL AS A CHANGE-UP, AND NOW, PASSING THE BALL IS PART OF THEIR DNA IN IN ADDITION TO KEEPING FOLKS ON THEIR HEELS.

THEY'LL WIND UP AND THROW IT.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING 2-0 VERSUS 1-2.

>> ABSOLUTELY AND ALL THESE TEAMS WE MENTIONED ARE TRYING TO GET ON THE TOP TEN.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBER ONE FOR WEEK NUMBER THREE.

>> WEATHER AGAIN.

WAND BACK HERE.

>> THERE'S A NEW NUMBER ONE TEAM IN CLASS A, PRINCE APP.

>> AND ONCE AGAIN, WHEN WE -- LET'S GO FROM THE BOTTOM UP, CLINCH, ONCE AGAIN, BIG WIN OVER MACON COUNTY.

THEY STAYED THERE IN A-2.

BROOKS LOSES TO COOK SO YOU'VE GOT A NEW NUMBER ONE THERE.

FITZGERALD, THEY'VE GOT A GAME IN THE BORDER CLASSIC.

THEY'RE A PART OF THAT IN BRUNSWICK THIS WEEK.

ONCE AGAIN, THEY'LL PLAY ANYBODY, ANY PLACE, TWICE ON TUESDAY.

NOT A SURPRISE.

CARTERSVILLE, THEY HAD TO OVERCOME AN INJURY AT QUARTERBACK IN THEIR WIN, SO WE'LL KEEP CAN EYE ON THEM.

HUGHES, IT'S GOING TO BE LEAGUE COUNTY, THE TWO TOP TEAMS.

BUFORD, NATIONALLY RANKED, BEEN AS HIGH AS NUMBER THREE IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS AND AS I COME FORWARD ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S A LOOK AT YOUR GPB TOP TENS AND JUST THAT ONE WIN GIVES PAC THE DUKE RIGHT NOW, THE LEAD IN 1-1.

>> CLINCH COUNTY AS WELL REPLACED SLY COUNTY.

BOTH SINGLE A, REPLACED, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS THE SAME.

>> SLY COUNTY WITH THEIR LOSS TO EARLY COUNTY, SO THAT DOES MAKE SENSE WITH OUR RANKINGS.

>> GAMES TO WATCH.

THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW.

WE LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE WATCHING.

TOP FIVE GAMES OF THE WEEK.

>> WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN EQUALLY BUT HERE'S ANY TOP FIVE, LEE, VALDOSTA, THAT ONE'S GOING TO TAKE OVER THE MAC IN MIDDLE GEORGIA.

BENEDICTEN AND WARE NOT NECESSARILY A SURPRISE THERE.

BEN BENEDICTEN.

49-42, SO LAST THE LAST TEAM HAVE POSSESSION WON.

BLEKLY AND SLY.

HOW DOES AARON ALFORD BATTLEGROUND AFTER THEIR LOSS?

THEY GET VAUGHN LASITER.

COOK KNOCKS OFF BROOKS.

CLINCH COUNTY, NOW TOP OF THE LADDER.

HOW DO CLINCH AND DON TYSON JR.

RESPOND?

THAT WILL BE INTERESTING AS WELL.

THAT'S JUST A HANDFUL OF THE GAMES.

JEFFERSON AND OCONEE, AND YOU KNOW, THE BORDER CLASSIC, WE MENTIONED THAT ONE, CEDARTOWN AND CALHOUN.

HERE'S ANOTHER SNEAKY ONE.

COLUMBIA AT CARTERSVILLE.

COLUMBIA, ONE OF THOSE 59 TEAMS THAT'S OUT OF THE BLOCKS AT 3-0.

CARTERSVILLE, TRADITIONAL POWER.

HOW DOES COLUMBIA RESPOND IN ONE OF THE TOUGHER ENVIRONMENTS IN THE STATE?

COMING OUT OF THE BLOCKS AT 3-0 OUT OF DeKALB COUNTY, GOING UP AGAINST A TOUGH TEAM AT HOME IN CARTERSVILLE.

LET'S SEE WHERE COLUMBIA IS AS THEY PLAY THEIR FOURTH GAME OF THE YEAR.

>> LET'S TAKE A QUICK DIVE BEFORE WE GET TO OUR KICKER INTO THE FACEBOOK COMMENTS SECTION.

SOMEBODY'S HAVING A HAMBURGER AND I HAVE LOST WHO IS HAVING A HAMBURGER.

>> EVERYONE'S HAVING AM BURGERS BUT US RIGHT NOW.

>> IT WAS SOMEWHERE.

>> TRUST US.

SOMEBODY'S HAVING A HAMBURGER.

>> AND SHODDY ME LIVE IS HAVING CHICKEN AND RICE.

LET'S TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS REALLY QUICK.

EVAN REESE SAYS THOUGHTS ON ROSWELL AND MILTON THIS WEEK AND NORTH SPRINGS BEATING RIVERWOOD.

>> NORTH SPRINGS AND RIVERWOOD, A NEW COACH, AND YOU HAVE HERE IN THE NONREGION SCHEDULE, TIME TO TRY TO SORT THINGS OUT WHERE RIVERWOOD IS CONCERNED.

NORTH SPRINGS, GREAT WIN FOR THEM IN NONREGION SCHEDULE.

WE CAUGHT UP WITH BOTH OF THOSE NEW COACHES.

AND YOU CAN CATCH THOSE INTERVIEWS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, YOUTUBE, ET CETERA.

AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE?

WHAT'S THE FIRST GAME?

ROSWELL-MILTON.

WE GOT TO CATCH UP WITH ROSWELL EARLY OUT OF THE BLOCKS WITH THEIR WIN OVER DENMARK.

MILTON, IF THEY LOSE THIS ONE, THEN THEY'RE FIGHTING BELOW .500 BUT ONCE AGAIN IT'S ANOTHER SITUATION WITH A NEW COACH AND TRYING TO GET THAT CONTINUITY WITH YOUR GRADUATIONS, ONCE AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE LT OVERTON ANYMORE AS ONE OF YOUR FORCES IN THE MIDDLE.

ROSWELL AND MILTON WILL DEFINITELY BE ONE OF THOSE TO LOOK AT.

CAN MILTON REBOUND?

CAN ROSWELL CONTINUE THEIR EARLY SEASON FORM?

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

>> ONE MORE REALLY QUICK, JON, MICHAEL, VALDOSTA, WARNER ROBINS.

>> BENEDICT AND WARE, IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE IT WAS LAST YEAR.

TEAM WITH THE BALLAST IS GOING TO PROBABLY HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THAT ONE.

VALDOSTA, WARNER ROBINS, WARNER ROBINS COMING OFF THE EMOTION OF PLAYING THE GAME.

VALDOSTA COMING TO TOWN.

VALDOSTA WON THEIR EARLY GAMES.

IT WILL BE A GOOD EARLY SEASON TEST FOR BOTH OF THESE TEAMS AS WELL, HOW DOES VALDOSTA GO UP AGAINST AND FIT AGAINST GEORGIA COMPETITION?

BUT VALDOSTA-WARNER ROBINS, LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

TWO GREAT TOWNS AND POWERHOUSES, EARLY SEASON, NONREGION GAMES.

THAT IS GOING TO BE A FUN ONE.

>> FOR OUR TRANSITION TO THE KICKER, IT COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT.

ANDREW WATKINS SAYS WATCH OUT FOR DOUGHERTY HIGH.

KICKER, IT'S DOUGHERTY AT STOCK BRIDGE WHERE JUNIOR CAMERON DAVIS AMASSED 502 TOTAL YARDS.

NOT A TYPO.

>> 267 IN THE AIR WITH THREE SCORES, 235 ON THE GROUND FOR TWO SCORES.

SO, LOOKING AT WHAT DOUGHERTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO.

>> NUMBER 4 ON THE LEFT.

>> PIECED TOGETHER.

>> SWEET BY THE OC.

>> AND THEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT DOUGHERTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO, EARLY IN THE YEAR, GREAT WORK BY DOUGHERTY, BEATING STOCK RIDGE, 33-30, TOP RECEIVERS, LARRY LANE, 6 FOR 121.

EACH OF THEM HAD A SCORE.

GREAT WORK IN SOUTH GEORGIA.

HUGE NIGHT ON OFFENSE, BIG WIN 33-30.

>> AND FINALLY, WE HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM.

WE GOT MAYA, AUTUMN, SANDY, EVERYBODY ELSE, FOLLOW US ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, TIKTOK, YOUTUBE AND WE ARE ALSO ON TWITCH.

AND WE HAVE OUR, AS ALWAYS, OUR TIKTOK CHALLENGE.

PARK VIEW AT NORTH GWINNETT AND?
