>>> WELCOME TO "COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF" ON FACEBOOK LIVE.

WE HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GOOD THURSDAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

>> HALF WAY.

>> WE ARE OVER HALF WAY THROUGH THE SEASON!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT BEING HALF WAY.

>> PLAYOFFS, CHAMPIONSHIPS, THE WEATHER IS GETTING COLDER.

IT'S AN EXCITING TIME.

>> IT'S ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME.

I LIKE TO THINK OF EVERYTHING AS AN EXCITING TIME AND IT'S NOT JUST HANNA SITTING HERE AT THE HALF WAY POINT OF THE SEASON.

>> I'M READY FOR PLAYOFFS, BABY!

WE'VE STILL GOT WORK TO DO, FOLKS, THREE OR FOUR WEEKS LEFT OF THE REGULAR SEASON AND THAT DOESN'T SHOW UP UNTIL THE EARLY PART OF NOVEMBER.

>> TRANQUILO, TRANQUILO, WE STILL HAVE SOME TIME.

>> COMING UP, WE WILL RECAP AND PREVIEW THE GEORGIA GAME OF THE WEEK.

WE WILL LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING ALL AROUND THE STATE AND WE HAVE THE KICKER PLAY OF THE WEEK AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON OUR NEW FLAG FOOTBALL COVERAGE AND THAT'S ALL COMING UP, JOHN.

FIRST, AS ALWAYS, WE ASK EVERYBODY WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?

WHAT ARE WE EATING FOR LUNCH?

OUR FANCY TV GRAPHICS.

THIS IS THE BEST, AND -- YOU KNOW WHAT?

LEGITIMATELY, THIS IS WHAT I'M HAVING FOR LUNCH.

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT THE SCREEN BEHIND US, THAT IS WHAT I WAS HAVING FOR LUNCH AT THE MOMENT.

NOTHING.

THAT'S THE KEY RIGHT THERE.

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH, AS ALWAYS.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HAVING SO YOU CAN MAKE US HUNGRY SO WHEN THE SHOW IS OVER WE HAVE GOOD IDEAS WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT FOLKS ARE HAVING FOR LUNCH.

IDEAS ALWAYS WELCOME, HELPFUL HINTS ALWAYS WELCOME.

>> JERRY IS HERE AND T.J. AND VALDOSTA HIGH WILD CATS, AND HE'LL WANT TO TALK ABOUT A CERTAIN RIVALRY THERE A LITTLE LATER IN THE SHOW.

HOME COMING GAME TOMORROW AND ALSO IN HERE, BENJAMIN LONDON.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET STARTED BY TAKING A LOOK BACK AT OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAYS, GEORGIA, GAME OF THE WEEK AND IT WAS A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN NORTH COBB AT RAIDER VALLEY AND WARRIORS GET THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON AND TO GO 1 AND 4 ON THE YEAR.

>> THE SOPHOMORE THAT HAS TAKEN OVER FROM SINGLETON ON THE DAY AND GRIMSTEAD, 6 OF 8 AND 186 AND 3, AND HE ALSO HAD A RUSHING TOUCHDOWN, AND HE WAS ALSO OUR GEORGIA COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME AND 87 YARDSES THERE ON THAT STUNNER AND RUNNING CLOCK FOURTH QUARTER AND IT WAS 27-0 AND 33-0 WAS THE FINAL AS WALTON SCORES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND THIS ONE WAS NOT ANTICIPATED, MEANING THE RESULTS, AND NORTH COBB, IS IT 4 AND 2 AND THIS IS A REGION THAT COULD BE IN THE BLENDER AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK FOR IT, BUT KENNESAW MOUNTAIN WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT AND THIS IS REGION OPENER AND REGION 5.

YOU HAVE NORTH COBB AND WHEELER.

THEY'RE ALL 1 AND 0.

THEY'RE ALL AN 0 AND 1.

THIS ONE COULD GO DOWN TO THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON TO DETERMINE YOUR 1, 2, 3 AND 4 TO DETERMINE WHO IS GOING HOME AND THIS ONE HAS THE PROSPECTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON.

>> THEY BROKE OSBOURNE' STREAK.

35-0 AT THE BREAK AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE MORE ABOUT CAYMAN PRANGLY FOR KENNESAW, AND THAT'S A LOT FOR POWERFUL POSTS EARLY ON A THURSDAY.

>> A LOT OF WHAT?

>> A LOT OF ILLITERATIONS FROM ANXIOUS ANCHORS PLAYED IN POWERFUL POSTS AND CAYMAN PRANGLY AND ALL IN ONE SENTENCE AND YOU'LL SEE MORE COMING UP IN THE MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER SEGMENT FOR 2022.

HE'LL BE A PART OF THAT DISCUSSION.

YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THE VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HE IS PART OF RECRUITING IN 2022.

>> I'M JUST IMPRESSED YOU GOT THROUGH THAT.

>> IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH CAFFEINE HAVE I IN MY SYSTEM.

>> IT WAS A SURPRISE ALL AROUND.

>> NO DOUBT.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IF YOU BELIEVE IN SPREADS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

FOLKS WERE SAYING IT WAS ONLY GOING TO BE A TEN-POINT GAME AND IT WAS A 23-POINT GAME BEFORE YOU WERE IN THE RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING LOOKING AT THIS REGION LOOKING TO SEE HOW THINGS COME OUT.

AND THEY HAVE FALLEN OUT OF THE TOP TEN EVER SINCE THEN AND NORTH COBB AT NUMBER SEVEN.

>> LET'S TAKE AROUND THE REST OF THE STATE ON MY TOP SCORES LIST, AND WE WILL GET STARTED WITH SOME UNBEATENS THAT ARE NO LONGER UNBEATEN AND THERE WAS 43 TEAMS THAT STILL HAD ZEROS BEFORE THEIR RECORDS BEFORE LAST FRIDAY AND THAT'S NO LONGER IN REGION 4A AND CEDAR TOWN HANDED IT DOWN AND THE FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON AND THAT WAS 42-0.

IN REGION 12A, AND MIDDLEFIELD AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU, JOHN.

>> MILT MILLER FIELD.

LEGENDARY.

>> FINAL SCORE, 42-0, AND 4A OPENER AND THEY BEAT THE BEARS 28-3 ON THURSDAY.

AT WILD CAT STADIUM IN REGION 4A, THEY BEAT WHITEWATER 24-23 AND THE BIGGEST AND ONE OF THE STATE'S BIGGEST RIVALRIES AND IT WAS PLAYED AT VALDOSTA, AND THE WILD CATS PULLED IT 13-6 AND THEY WON IT LAST YEAR, 21-0 AND THE SUMMER AVENGE IN THAT GAME, JOHN, AND I KEPT REFRESHING THE SCORE, REFRESHING THE SCORE 0-0, AND I THINK THAT WE CAN PREDICT THAT WITH THEIR DEFENSE.

NO QUESTION AND SHELTON DEFENSE, WITH WHAT WE SAW OUT OF VALDOSTA, AND TREMENDOUS AT 7-0 AND THEY WERE PART OF THE UPPER HALF OF THE DRIVE'S SEAT RIGHT NOW AND IN REGION ONE, AND KNOCKED OFF RICHMOND HILL AND THE REGION OPENER AND 7-0 VALDOSTA AND GOING UP AND KNOCKING OFF LOUNGE AT REGION THREE AND THEY TAKE ON DUNBAR OF FLORIDA.

VALDOSTA THIS WEEK PLAYS RICHMOND HILL AND THIS IS PART OF THAT THREE-WEEKS WITH A BYE WEEK IN BETWEEN FOR MATT WHERE HE PLAYS LOUD, HE PLAYS VALDOSTA IN A THREE-WEEK PERIOD BECAUSE OF THE CORK OF THE REGION, HE'S MAKING TWO STRAIGHT TRIPS TO VALDOSTA LAST YEAR AND THEY BOTH GO TO THE HILL AND HE IS NOT -- HE IS NOT KEEPING THE TEAM IN VALDOSTA BECAUSE OF THE THREE-WEEK PERIOD, BUT BACK-TO-BACK ROAD GAMES AFTER THE OPENER FOR RICHMOND HILL IN CAMDEN.

A TOUGH ROAD FOR THE HILL COMING UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> YOUR LAKESIDE PULLED OUT THE WIN OVER DREW, 26-6.

>> AND WE ARE, WHAT?

YOU AND YOUR NEW FRIEND MORRIS STAR -- >> YOU GUYS ARE BEING IMPRESSIVE THIS SEASON.

>> 5 AND 2, I THINK, IS WHAT WE ARE.

>> 5 AND 2.

>> THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

5 AND 2 LAKESIDE VIKINGS.

WELL DONE, WELL DONE, WELL DONE.

>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT ONE.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

>> THERE IS NOTHING LOST FOR ROSSWELL.

>> PRUIT KEPT HIS PROMISE.

>> FANCY TV GRAPHIC TIME.

>> THIS ONE WAS ON THURSDAY AND WE TALK ABOUT REGIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE TOUGH ALL SEASON LONG AND REGION 168 AND CENTRAL, AND LEE COUNTY THEY'RE BOTH NOW AT 3 AND 0 AND THEY'RE BOTH NOW AT 1 AND 1 AND NORTHSIDE'S AT 4 AND 3.

>> I MENTIONED BENEDICT, AS WELL FOR THE WHOLE REGION ASPECT OF IT.

ONCE AGAIN.

THE GAME'S ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOU STAND, AND THAT WAS PLAYED ON MONDAY.

THIS IS NOT A TYPO.

THIS IS NOT A TYPO INVOLVING THE COUNTY.

TOP GAMES FROM LAST WEEK.

APLAND COUNTIY PLAYED TWICE.

THE FIRST GAME AGAINST PIERCE SHIFTED TO MONDAY.

THEY WIN BY 11 AND THEN THEY PLAYED NORMALLY ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AND THE WIN BY 13 OVER TOMBS COUNTY, JORDAN MULLIS, THEY HAVE A LARGE OFFENSIVE LINE INCLUDING MY BUDDY WHO SAW THIS GAME AND SAW APPLING AND PIERCE AND 35-24 AND ALBERT COUNTY WILL GET MENTIONED LATER IN THE SHOW, AS WELL, BECAUSE THEIR TOP GAMES DO NOT STOP AND BIG GAME FORRAL VIP JARVIS.

>> WOW!

>> TWO GAMES IN A WEEK.

MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY.

TWO GAMES IN FIFE DAYS.

TWO GAMES IN FIVE DAYS, SO YOU PLAY ON MONDAY.

YOU BASICALLY REST ON TUESDAY.

YOU'RE WATCHING FILM ON WEDNESDAY IN PRACTICE AND THEM IT'S MAYBE A WALK-THROUGH TODAY AND ON FRIDAY YOU PLAY AND THERE IS JORDAN MOLE MOLE SON, SO IT'S THREE GAMES IN 12 DAYS, AND IT'S 11 DAYS FOR APPLING CONTE AND THEY'RE ROLLING RIGHT NOW.

YES, THEY ARE.

>> LET'S GO TO OUR PLAY OF THE WEEK AND IT'S -- LITERALLY, WE DON'T NORMALLY SHOW INTERCEPTIONS, BUT THAT'S YOUR PLAY RIGHT THERE.

HE GETS HIS 100th WIN AS HEAD COACH AT WEST SIDE.

THE ONLY COACHING WIN HE'S EVER HAD.

>> HE'S GETTING THE LAST DROPS OF WATER.

>> OH, ABSOLUTELY.

THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AND CONGRATS AND A TIP OF THE HAT FOR GETTING DUNKED ON FOR YOUR 100th CAREER WIN AT THE ONLY SCHOOL YOU'VE EVER COACHED ON.

>> A PIECE OF TRIVIA, ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE REGIONALS FOR "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR".

>> WHAT?

>> SHANE IS A HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL AND PARTICIPATE IN THE REGIONALS FOR "AMERICAN NINJA REGIONALSES.

>> HE WENT AND TRIED TO RECALL IN THE REGIONALS.

>> HOW MUCH WOULD WE GET?

>> WE WOULDN'T.

YOU WOULD QUALIFY.

>> I'M GOING TO SIGN US UP.

>> YOU GO AHEAD.

I'LL BE A NO SHOW.

>> IT WILL BE A DNF.

>> THEY GO 5 AND 1 ON THE YEAR SO CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYBODY.

OKAY.

WEEK 7, STORYLINE BEFORE WE TURN THE PAGE TO WEEK 8.

>> OKAY.

>> SO ONCE AGAIN, FANCY TV GRAPHIC LINE AND SHOW YOU WHAT THE STORYLINES ARE AND I THINK IT'S 31 AND 32 AND ONCE AGAIN, MATH WAS INVOLVED AND THAT'S HOW MANY UNDEFEATEDS WE HAD AND SOMEWHERE IN THERE I'M SURE I MISSED A ZERO AND I APOLOGIZE TO THE ZERO THAT I MISSED.

YOU LOOK AT NINE GOING DOWN ONCE AGAIN AND 41 FROM 42.

THERE WE GO.

WE STAY ON TOP OF THEIR RESPECTIVE GRAPHICS AND A HUGE, BIG WIN BY THEM AND CEDAR TOWN HAD A BIG WIN AND THEY HAD BIG STUFF, AS WELL BAYLOR, TELEPHONE TENNESSEE, AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PLAY OUT OF STATE TO GET READY FOR REGION PLAY THE ONE STAYED ACROSS THE BOARD AND THE STREETS ARE OVER AND THEY WENT BY THE WAY SIDE THIS PAST WEEK.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THINGS LIKE MORROW AND THEY DIDN'T SUFFER THAT COLUMN IS UP AT GPB.ORG.

AND THIS IS ONE THAT I WANTED TO MENTION.

WHAT I MEAN IS CHRIS KELLY AND OUT OF GIBSON, GEORGIA.

FIRST REGION WIN SINCE 1995.

>> YOU JUST SPOILED THE KICKER.

>> TEASE FOR WHAT'S COMING UP AS THE KICKER, GUYS.

>> THAT'S YOUR KICKER, BUT STILL.

1995 BECAUSE MAINLY IT'S CHRIS KELLY AND WE'LL SHOW YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS.

>> YES, WE WILL, AND JOSH MILLS IS HAVING SHRIMP BISQUE.

I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD A SHRIMP BISQUE ON THE SHOW.

>> NO, WE'VE NOT.

>> THAT'S TOO OFFICIAL SOUNDING.

>> HE'S HAVING A TURKEY OMELET WITH HOT SAUCE.

>> NOT NECESSARILY.

I WON'T GO THAT FAR OR A-1 AND LEE AND PERRIN'S.

NICELY DONE.

>> SHOWTIME SAID YOU KNOW IT'S CHICKEN AND RICE FOR ME.

>> A SONIC HAMBURGER.

>> NOT TOO HEALTHY.

>> RATE THERE WITH YOU, JARED.

>> WE'LL TAKE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, TOO AS WE ALWAYS DO AND ANDREW WATKINS AND RIVALRY AT HUGH MILLS STADIUM.

>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT AND LET ME CHECK THE REGION STANDINGS ON THAT ONE AND THAT'S IN AAA IN REGION 1.

WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE HEAD COACH A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND MAN, THEY'RE PLAYING THE EIGHTH GAME OF THE SEASON, DOHERTY AND THOMASVILLE TIED WITH 2 AND CRISP RIGHT NOW TIED AT 1 AND 1 IF THEY'LL GET INTO THE PLAYOFF DISCUSSION AND OUT OF THE BLOCK IN REGION 1.

>> PREVIEW TIME AND THAT'S JOHN NELSON AND I'M HANNA GOODMAN WHERE WE RECAP AND WE PREVIEW WHAT'S TO IN HERE WITH THE BEST GAMES IN THE STATE ON GPB SPORTS.

SO LET'S DO JUST THAT.

OUR GAME OF THE WEEK, REGION 8, 7A SHOWDOWN.

NO CREEK HAS RANKED NUMBER 8 IN THE COUNTRY AND THAT'S ACCORDING TO MAX PREP.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE MATCHUP ON WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY BY WINNING A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN ALL CLASSIFICATIONS AND MILL CREEK TRYING TO GET BACK TO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

>> BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS A BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AND THESE TWO TEAMS HAVE NEVER PLAYED.

>> WHAT?

IN THEIR HISTORIES AND MILL CREEK IS 19th IN THEIR 19th YEAR OF EXISTENCE.

>> THESE TWO TEAMS SEPARATED BY 9 1/2 MILES ACCORDING TO A FANCY COMPUTER HAS THEM SEPARATED BY 9 1/2 MILES.

>> NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER HAVE PLAYED.

JOSH HAS NEVER EVEN BEEN TO THE STADIUM.

>> WHAT?

>> NEVER BEEN.

THIS IS A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR THE GOOGLE LADY TO GIVE THEM COMPUTER DIRECTION, TO GET THEM ON TIME.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET TO 9 1/2 MILES.

THE LOGISTICS, FIRST TIME EVER, E-V-A-H, EVER.

BECAUSE THEY'RE HEAVY WEIGHTS, BUT NO, WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AT THE CONFERENCE CALL THIS WEEK AND FIRST TIME EVER THAT THEY HAVE PLAY AND THE TOP 20 TEAMS NATIONALLY, COOL FACTOR, NEVER HOT.

NEVER PLAYED AND YOU HOPE IT WILL NEVER GET LOST AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> WE TALKED TO THE COACH AND CHECK THAT OUT UPON AND HANNAH IS TRYING TO GET STATE SECRETS OUT OF HIM.

>> I KNOW, I WAS ASKING HIM WHAT THE WEAKNESSES ARE AT BUFORD AND EVERYONE JUST LAUGHED AT ME.

>> HE AIN'T TELLING YOU IF HE FOUND SOMETHING OUT.

>> ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS ON THE FIELD THIS FRIDAY WILL BE A SENIOR RUNNING BACK JUSTICE HAINES AND GREAT INTERVIEW FOR MY RECRUITING 2022 AND HERE'S WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT PLAYING THEM THIS FRIDAY.

I WOULD SAY IT STARTS IN THE TRENCHES WITH THE O LINE AND THE D LINE EVERY GAME.

THE O LINE AND D LINE DOMINATE AND DO WHAT THEY DO, AND AND WELL OPENED AND ONE OF MY BUDDIES AND CALEB DOWNS IS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS AND WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO SLOW HIM DOWN AND JUST CONTINUE TO PLAY OUR GAME AND EVERY GAME WE PLAY AND IT'S ABOUT BUT FORD, YOU KNOW?

EVERY GAME AND PLAYING TO OUR STANDARD.

>> RON HAYNES IS THE GEORGIA GREAT, AND I ASKED HIM ALL ABOUT THAT, TOO.

YOU CAN CATCH THE RECRUITING 2022.

I LITERALLY SAID NO AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD THAT IN YOUR LIFE?

>> THEY BROKE THEIR NOSE.

>> 7:00 P.M. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT AT.ORG/SPORTS AND IT RE-AIRS AFTER THE POSTGAME SHOW.

REALLY COOL KID.

>> LITERALLY.

YOU CANNOT -- RON HAYNES, SYNONYMOUS WITH LARRY MUTUAL FUNDSEN AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE CALLS WHERE EVEN IF WE DON'T DO A LARRY MUTUAL FUNDSEN CALL OR IMPRESSION, WE ALWAYS WANT TO DROP THAT IN.

>>.

>> WHAT ELSE IS THERE?

>> HANNA IS WEARING HOB NAIL BOOTS.

>> AM I?

>> I THINK YOU ARE.

>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

>> YOU'RE WEARING YOUR SHINY SHOES.

>> I DO HAVE SPARKLY SHOES ON TODAY.

>> SEAN WANTED ME TO SHOW EVERYONE, BUT I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY WANTED TO SEE.

>> THERE YOU GO.

THEY JUST DID.

>> THE REGION 2 5A MATCHUP AND THIS ONE IS IN HAMPTON GEORGIA AND THE BULLDOGS, 6-7, AND GPB.ORG/SPORTS WITH THIS MATCHUP.

>> IT HAS ONE OF THE MOST INSANE DEFENSES THAT WE'VE SEEN ALL SEASON LONG, AND THEY HAVE SHUT EVERYBODY DOWN AT 6 AND 0, AND A PART OF THE LOGJAM RIGHT NOW AND THIS ONE CAN GO A LONG WAY IN DETERMINING A, THE ONE AND THEN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO AND THE THREE BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK, AND THEY CAN BE A PART OF THE DISCUSSION AND 1 AND 2 CAN BE A PART OF THE DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW.

SO RIGHT NOW THIS ONE CAN GIVE DUTCHTOWN SPACE AND IT'S AN INTERESTING CONTRAST WITH MIKE CHASTAIN, AND THE OFFENSE AND A GREAT PITCHING COMBO THAT HE'LL HAVE AFTER THIS ONE GOING UP AGAINST THE DEFENSE AND IF YOU LIKE DEFENSE, YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT BOTH OF THESE TEAMS COULD BE PROBLEMS IN THE PLAYOFF AND CONTRAST YOUR STYLES FOR THE MULTI-SCREEN EXPERIENCE.

>> THE RANKINGS ARE OUT AND NO CHANGES TO THE NUMBER ONE AND THE SHAKE-UPS OVERALL ON THE TOP TENS AND FOR THAT YOU CAN GO TO GPB.ORG.

>> THERE WAS AN UPSET AND CALHOUN WAS UPSET BY HYRUM AND THE YELLOW JACKET HIS BEATEN IN TRIPLE OVERTIME AND IT WAS FROM NUMBER FOUR TO NUMBER NINE, CLASS 4A WHITEWATER JOB WITH ITS LOSS WITH TRINITY CHRISTIAN.

>> WHAT ELSE DID YOU SEE?

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THEM, THEIR LOSS AND HE'D BEEN WITH CHRISTIAN AND MONROE AREA, 41- 7, AND THEY HAVE INSERT THEIR NAME INTO THE DISCUSSION ABOUT WINNING A BIG REGION TITLE.

SO A BIG WIN FOR THEM.

>> AND BLAKELY COUNTY, A COMPLETE SHOCKER AND SURPRISE WHEN I TALK TO MY FRIENDS IN MIDDLE GEORGIA ABOUT THIS ONE AND MAYBE THE MARGIN IS WHAT A LOT OF FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT.

31-13 AND ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU BELIEVE IN FAVORITES, MARGINS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, HE WAS A COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND DUBLIN TURNS THAT ONE AROUND AND WINS BY 18, SO GUESS WHAT?

THAT REGION WILL BE IN THE BLENDER NOW, TOO.

>> AND THE STANDINGS AND CAN THEY MAINTAIN IT FRIDAY NIGHT?

WE WILL SEE.

>> IT WILL BE A VERY, VERY TOUGH TASK AND I THINK IT WILL COME DOWN TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, AND THE LINES THAT THEY HAVE, AND THE NUMBER OF RECRUITS THAT BUT FORD HAS IS ASTRONOMICAL.

>> FOR MATT AND EVERYBODY THAT DOES THE HARD WORK ON RECRUITING 2022, WE COULD HAVE DONE AN ENTIRE SEGMENT ON ALL OF THE ATHLETES THAT BUT FORD FOR COACH APP THAT HAVE OFFERS, THAT HAVE STARS AND THE RUN THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BEING LOOKED AT BY COLLEGES IS AMAZING AND THEY HAVE THEIR TASK ALTHOUGH THEY'RE OUT THERE TO DO WHEN THEY WANT TO DO AND BIG OFFENSIVE LINE AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE DEFENSIVE LINE WILL GO ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL AND I THINK IT WILL BE ONE IN THE TRENCHES AND WE'LL SEE HOW THEY CAN HANDCUFF JUSTICE HAYNES AND THAT THEY DO ON THE EDGES, AS WELL AND CALEB DOWNS AND JUSTICE HAYNES, YOU'LL SEE AWE LOT THE OF THINGS GETTING READY.

>> THE, YOU CAN CHECK OUT THAT INTERVIEW.

LET'S PREVIEW WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING AROUND THE STATE, JOHN.

YOUR TOP FIVE GAMES TO WATCH.

>> I LOVE ALL MY CHILDREN, CALLY, HOWEVER, THE COUNTY HAS PLAYED THEIR REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.

THEY'RE DONE WITH THE REGION SCHEDULE AND THEY HAVE THREE NON-REGION GAMES LET AND ONE OF THEM IS AGAINST MAURICE WHO HAS NOT PLAYED IN THREE WEEKS BECAUSE HE HAD ONE TEAM BACK OUT ON HIM AND HE'S BEEN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT HIS KIDS ARE MOTIVATED IN THE THREE-WEEK PERIOD AND HE'S FOCUSING ON THE TASK AND THEY HAVE TO GO TO BLAKELY AND THIS WILL PROBABLY DECIDE THE REGION TITLE AND ONCE AGAIN IN 8A DIVISION 1.

IT'S A MINI REGION.

YOU HAVE FOUR TEAMS AND THEY KICK OFF THEIR REGION PLAY AND THOMPSON AND LANY.

LANY AND ANOTHER TEAM THAT HAS BEEN UNDEFEATED THIS YEAR AND IT'S A GOOD RIVALRY THERE COME WAYNE COUNTY AND TAKING ON KYLE HOCKMAN, AND NEW HEMP STEAD AND I ALWAYS LIKE THIS ONE.

MARY%ONES AND JUST NORTH OF MACON AND GREAT DEFENSES ON DISPLAY THERE.

THIS WILL BE A TIGHT ONE.

>> SPEAKING OF BROOKS CONTE, ALTHOUGH THEIR RECORD SAYS 4 AND 1, MAURICE IS FEELING DOWN ON HIS TEAM BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THEY'RE OFF TO THE BEST START AND HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY AND MAYBE A LITTLE ADVICE TO HIMSELF.

>> YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU STUCK IT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO BUCK IT IN THE END OF THE YEAR.

JUST KEEP POUNDING AND KEEP WORKING AND WORK ON TEAM WORK, LEADERSHIP AND STICK TO ITNESS AND THINGS WILL WORK OUT.

JUST DON'T QUIT.

>> BEFORE REGION PLAY AGAINST IRWIN AND THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE ON WHAT TO WOECH WATCH.

?

WHAT WAS WHAT WAS IT LIKE GENTLEMEN AND HE'S ONE OF THE TRUE GENTLEMEN AND TRUE CAKES AND MAURICE WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOO -- AND THOSE ARE THE LESSONS HE LEARNED FROM LAST YEAR AND APPLYING TO THIS YEAR AND IT'S A DIFFERENT LESSON WITH TRYING TO STAY MOTIVATED WITH THREE BYE WEEKS.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BYE, PIKE LEVEL AND THEN ANOTHER BYE WEEK BEFORE GETTING INTO REGION PLAY BEFORE YOU GET INTO REGION PLAY AND THIS REGION THAT HE'S IN, ONCE AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER MINI REGION.

>> BROOKS, IRWIN, HAL EMBACON AND THAT IS REGION 9 IN CLASS A AND PROBABLY, WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS ONE AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS OF YOUR PLAYERS IN CHECK BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE PLAYED IN ALMOST A MONTH AND THE FIRST TIME THEY GO OUT AND HIT SOMEBODY THEY'LL GO BACK INTO THAT GAME FLOW.

THIS WILL BE A TIGHT ONE THERE IN SOUTHWEST GEORGIA, DEFINITELY ONE YOU WANT TO KEEP ON, MAURICE FRIEDMAN, TOP NOTCH.

I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE HIGHEST OF COMPLIMENTS FOR A COACH LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF HOW HE GUIDES HIS PROGRAM AND HOW HE GUIDES HIS YOUNG MEN AND HOW HE GUIDES FOOTBALL.

>> AND WANTING YOU TO PREVIEW VALDOSTA AND RICHMOND HILL AND WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AFTER THE BIG WIN AND THE CLASS SNIK.

>> I THINK THAT'S THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT IT, HOW WILL VALDOSTA RESPOND AND CAN RICHMOND HILL RESPONSE EARLY AT HOME AND SET VALDOSTA ON THEIR HEELS AND THEY COME IN WITH A RECORD OF 3 AND 4 AND THEY HAVE THOSE THREE REGION GAMES LEFT, AND IT WILL BE A TALL RD ORDER FOR RIFRP MONDAY HILL AND I THINK THAT WILL BE KEY EARLY ON, FIRST AND SECOND QUARTER.

>> MAYBE HE'S WATCHING US WHILE WE'RE EATING LUNCH.

>> THEY HAVE GREAT SKINNY MARGARITAS.

>> I HAD NO IDEA BEFORE THIS.

>> FLAG FOOTBALL COVERAGE STARTS THIS WEEK!

>> IT STARTS TODAY.

>> WHAT DAY IS IT, JOHN?

WE HAVE A CLASH OF CHAMPIONS TONIGHT HOSTED BY WEST FORSYTH, HERE IS THE LINEUP, 6:00 P.M. AND HILLGROVE AND THAT'S THE DIVISION ONE STATE CHAMP VERSUS THE DIVISION AND THEY CHANGED IT AND IT'S THE STATE CHAMPS AND NOW WITH DIVISION 1, 2 AND 3, AND IT'S ARCHER VERSUS PORTAL AND 8:00 P.M. AND WEST FORSYTH VERSUS MURRIETA AND THAT'S A CHAMP YN AND RUNNER-UP AND JUST WILL BE UNBELIEVABLE TO WATCH THE GIRLS PLAY TONIGHT RIGHT HERE/THE APP.

>> YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU LOVED IT UNTIL THEY STARTED WATCHING AND THAT'S WHAT FOLKS TOLD US.

YOU GO TO OUR YOUTUBE PAGE.

SOME OF THE MOST DOWNLOADED GAMES CONSISTENTLY HAVE BEEN OUR FLAG FOOTBALL CONTESTS, AND I THINK IT SPEAKS TO WHAT ERNIE ARBOROUGH AND THE ASA HAS BEEN TO BUILD THE SPORT RIGHT NOW.

IF I DID THE MATH CORRECTLY, THERE'S MATH AND NO LUNCH YET.

I THINK IT'S 236 SCHOOLS, 226 SCHOOLS, 236 SCHOOLS THAT ARE ACTIVE IN FLAG FOOTBALL IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

WE'VE SEEN IT IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA WHERE ALABAMA NOW DOES STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND FLAG FOOTBALL THAT ARE ATTACHED TO CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND AND SOME EXCITING STUFF THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO AND THEY DO A FANTASTIC JOB IN THE BOOTH CALLING THESE GAMES AND DAVE REYNOLDS IS A RULES GURU FOR ALL OF THIS STUFF, BUT IF YOU WANTED TO SEE QUALITY FOOTBALL AND YOU HAVE PLAYERS FROM FLAG FOOTBALL AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

>> WOMEN IN FOOTBALL.

YES.

>> WE ARE GOING TO AIR A GAME EVERY THURSDAY AFTER THIS THURSDAY AND IT'S ALL STREAMING AND DOWNLOAD THE APP AND GET YOUR STREAMING READY WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR STREAM.

>> WE HAVE TO GET TO THE KICKER BEFORE WE GET KICKED OFF AIR.

JOHN TEASED IT EARLIER, IT'S GLASSCOT COUNTY SINCE 1995.

>> THEY PLAYED NON-REGION SCHEDULES AND THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE SHOOTOUT AND 59-52 THE FINAL AND JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GAME IN GIBSON, AND THEY PLAYED 74 THROUGH 79 AND STARTED THE PROGRAM BACK SINCE 1990.

CHRIS KELLY IS AN ALUM OF GLASSCOT AND IT'S THE 21st OR 22nd YEAR AND CONGRATULATIONS TO GLASSCOT COUNTY PLAYING REGION PLAY AND THEY HAD JOHNSON COUNTY THIS WEEK AND TALK TO DON NORTON ABOUT THAT AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE CHRIS KELLY ENOUGH CREDIT DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

>> I LOVE THAT FIELD, TOO.

IT LOOKS LIKE BACKYARD FOOTBALL.

>> IT'S ON THE GROUNDS OF THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT HAD HAS NOT CHANGED AND THEY RENOVATED IT AND TURNED IT INTO A VERY NICE FACILITY THERE.

>> FINAL SCORE, 59-52.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, WE'RE OUT OF TIME AND DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW US ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, AND YOUTUBE.

>> I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT FLAG FOOTBALL TONIGHT.

I CAN'T WAIT.

>> WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

FLAG FOOTBALL.

I CAN'T WAIT.

>> WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT, 7:30.

HAPPY WEEK EIGHT FOOTBALL, EVERYBODY AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR.
