REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.
THIS IS CARTERSVILLE FOR ANOTHER FOOTBALL SEASON ON GPB AS THE NUMBER 4 CREEKSIDE SEMINOLES TAKE ON THE 7th RANKED CARTERSVILLE PURPLE HURRICANES.
AND WELCOME BACK.
I'M MATT STEWART JOINED BY MY PARTNER FROM AUBURN TIGERS ALL AMERICAN NFL FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK WAYNE GANDY.
LET'S START WITH CREEKSIDE.
UNRANKED IN 5A WHEN THE SEASON BEGAN.
THEY KNOCKED OFF 7 A STATE CHAMPION GRAYSON IN THEIR OPENER.
LAST WEEK THE 6 A SEMI FINALIST WEST LAKE.
TONIGHT THEY TAKE AIM AT 5A STATE FINALIST CARTERSVILLE.
IT STARTS WITH THEIR OFFENSE, WAYNE, THE QUARTERBACK WAS A KID WHO IS A SENIOR NOW, TRANSFERRED IN BEFORE HIS JUNIOR YEAR FROM PEBBLE BROOK AND WON THE JOB.
>> MR.áLET, MR.áUNDER RATED, HE HAS GIVEN THIS TEAM THE ABILITY TO GET DOWN THE FIELD BY THE AIR.
THEY'RE USED TO RUNNING THE BALL.
HE BRINGS A STRONG ARM.
HIS COACH SAYS THAT AS HE GOES, SO DOES THIS OFFENSE.
VERY EFFICIENT.
THEY NEED HIM TO PLAY BIG TONIGHT.
>> OVER ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE BIG-TIME COLLEGE PROSPECTS FOR THE SEMINOLES STARTING WITH JAVEON MILLER OFFERED ARC STATE.
>> HE'S A TWEENER, LINEBACKER, THIS IS AN AGGRESSIVE MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE.
HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE PRESSURE THAT THEY BRING.
16 TACKLES AND ALREADY FIVE SACKS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
CARTERSVILLE, NO TEAM, NO PROGRAM MORE PROMINENT AND ESTABLISHED THAN CARTERSVILLE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
THEY'VE WON FOUR STATE TITLES.
THEY PLAYED IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAUGE A YEAR AGO.
BUTTIGIEG 18 NEW STARTERS THIS YEAR.
DESPITE THAT HERE THEY ARE 2-0, KNOCKED OFF THE TOP 7 A TEAM.
NOT TREVOR LAWRENCE.
HE MAKES HIS NFL DEBUT THIS WEEKEND.
PARKER WAITED HIS TURN.
>> A GUY MAKING HIS NAME FOR HIMSELF.
VERY EFFICIENT, WORKED HIMSELF IN THIS POSITION, TO BE THE STARTER.
HE'S VERY SMART WITH THE BALL.
ZERO INTERCEPTIONS THROUGH THE FIRST THREE GAMES.
THEY LOVE THE WAY HE COMPETES IN THAT POSITION.
>> OVER ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL, THE FAMILY LEGACY, THE FAMILY TREE OF CARTERSVILLE FOOTBALL SO INDELIBLE TO THE PROGRAM.
CONTINUES WITH MILES FORESTALL, THE JUNIOR LINEBACKER, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HIS BIG BROTHER MILLER FORESTALL.
>> NO LONGER STANDING IN THE FOOTSTEPS.
HE'S LEADING HIS OWN.
LEADING THE DEFENSE.
LEADING TACKLER FOR THIS DEFENSE.
A LITTLE UNDERSIZED, BUT THEY PLAY WITH A LOT OF HEART AND VERY AGGRESSIVE.
>> SHOULD BE A GREAT GAME FOR OUR SEASON OPENER.
THIRD MEMBER OF OUR TEAM IS WILEY BALLARD.
AND HE'S STANDING IN FOR JOHN NELSON WHO IS RECEIVING A MAJOR AWARD.
MORE ON THAT.
YOU'RE BOOTS ON THE GROUND AT WEI MAN STADIUM.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
>> MAN, I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE.
YOU ALREADY MENTIONED TREVOR LAWRENCE.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE NATIONAL TITLE AT CLEMSON, TWO STATE TITLES, FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK.
THIS COMING SUNDAY MAKES AN NFL DEBUT FOR THE JAGUARS.
WE'RE HERE IN HIS HOME COMMUNITY WHERE HE BEGAN HIS FOOTBALL JOURNEY.
WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO REALIZE, HE IS SO CLOSE TO THIS COMMUNITY.
AND IT'S FITTING ON A FOOTBALL FRIDAY NIGHT IN GEORGIA WE HAVE A CHANCE TO REMEMBER HIM IN HIS STEPS IN FOOTBALL JOURNEY.
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE FOOTBALL IN GEORGIA.
>> NO, IT'S NOT.
I'M RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL FROM MATT AND WAYNE IN STUDIO J REPORTING LIVE FROM THE GPB SPORTS STUDIOS IN ATLANTA.
YOU CAN JOIN ME THROUGHOUT THE GAME AND I'LL BE HOSTING THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW AS WELL AS OUR BRAND-NEW POST GAME SHOW WHICH YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO STICK AROUND FOR.
WE WILL HAVE TOP SCORES AROUND THE STATE.
HIGHLIGHTS IN THE COOLEST PART.
WE'LL HEAR FROM REPORTERS AND COACHES LIVE ON THE SHOW AS THEY FINISH UP SOME BIG-TIME GAMES.
I'LL SEE YOU GUYS THEN.
MATT, BACK OVER TO YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, HANNAH.
WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF UPSETS TONIGHT.
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT IN THIS FIRST MONTH OF THE SEASON HERE IN GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
SO, CREEKSIDE AND CARTERSVILLE MEETING FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE SEASON.
LAST YEAR CARTERSVILLE WON THERE, 21-18.
THEY HAD A STOP ON THE FINAL GAME OF THE PLAY 13 YARD LINE.
PROBABLY EXPECT ANOTHER GAME LIKE THAT TONIGHT.
>> A LOT OF EXCITEMENT FOR BOTH TEAMS LOOKING FOR THEIR IDENTITY.
ONCE YOU GET THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF GAMES OUT, NOW YOU GET READY TO PLAY BALL.
>> OPENING KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.
BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.
SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES.
AND CLIFFORD SET TO KICK IT OFF FOR THE SEMINOLES.
IN THEIR CARDINAL AND VEGAS GOLD TONIGHT.
2-0 ON THE SEASON.
AND CARTERSVILLE IN THEIR PURPLE AND GOLD HELMETS, 2-0 ON THE SEASON.
MOROCCO WILKE STANDING DEEP FOR THE PURPLE HURRICANES.
AND THE BALL IS GOING TO HIT AT THE 21 YARD LINE.
WILKE PICKS IT UP AND TRIES TO COME TO THE NEAR SIDELINE.
WAS HIT.
BALL POPPED OUT, BUT I BELIEVE THE WHISTLE IS GOING TO BLOW THAT ONE DEAD.
TACKLE MADE BY DAQUAN WHITE.
THAT'S WHERE THE PURPLE HURRICANES ARE GOING TO GO ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT.
AND THERE'S THEIR QUARTERBACK, JAKE PARKER, 6'0", 170 POUND SENIOR.
HE'S COULD HAVE PLEATED 62% OF HIS PASSES 346 YARDS.
THAT'S 173 A GAME.
AS WAYNE POINTED OUT, NO INTERCEPTIONS AND THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN HIS FIRST TWO GAMES.
>> TOUGH MINDED PROGRAM.
WHEN YOU SAY PROGRAM, WHAT YOU MEAN IS A GUY WHO HAS BEEN PLAYING IN THE SAME COMMUNITY WITH THESE GUYS SINCE THEY WERE THIRD, FOURTH GRADE.
NOW GETTING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THE HURRICANES.
>> THAT'S FLETCHER IN MOTION BEHIND THE LINE.
AND THEY'LL THROW IT TO FLETCHER.
HE'S THEIR LEADING WIDE RECEIVER.
HE GETS SHOVED OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 25 YARD LINE, AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINEUPS PRESENTED BY REGENTS BANK.
GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK.
HERE'S THE STARTING LINE FOR THEM UP FRONT.
PROSPECT AT LEFT TAKE .
AKIN, SARET, THE LEADER ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE.
WHITE IN THERE AFTER MISSING THE FIRST TWO GAMES.
MARSHALL WHICH WILL KINS.
FLETCHER JUST MADE THE CATCH.
AND RAY IS THE TIGHT END.
>> YOU SEE OFF THE BAT MOTIONING SOME SHIFTS, TRYING TO CAUSE A LITTLE CONFUSION ON THE CREEKSIDE.
>> GOING UP TOP AND WIDE OPEN AND DROPPED BY JACOB RAY, THE TIGHT END.
HE WAS WIDE OPEN.
GOT BEHIND THE DEFENSE.
THEY BIT ON THE FAKE, AND THEY MISSED A GREAT OPPORTUNITY RIGHT THERE, WAYNE.
>> HERE'S A SITUATION I LIKE TO CALL WAFFLE HOUSE.
ALWAYS OPEN.
WIDE OPEN RIGHT THERE IS JACOB RAY, AND THESE ARE THE PLAYS THAT COACH CARTER FOSTER TALKED ABOUT FROM CARTERSVILLE.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE BIG PLAYS DOWN THE FIELD, ESPECIALLY AGAINST THIS MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE.
THEY'RE COMING UP SHORT.
WHAT A BIG DROP THERE BY RAY.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 8.
PARKER LOOKS TO THE SIDE LINE.
AMARI WHITE, THE RUNNING BACK, MISSED THE FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON AFTER HAVING A SEASON-ENDING KNEE INJURY LAST YEAR.
THEY'RE GOING TO THROW IT TO AMARI WHITE THIS TIME.
MADE A MAN MISS, TACKLED BEHIND 391 YARD LINE BY MALIK CULLIS.
THEY PICKED UP 7, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR THE FIRST DOWN.
>> NICE, NICE JOB HERE BY GOLDEN 48.
YOU SEE HIM COMING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT HUSTLE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCREEN GAME.
SOMETHING THAT CARTERSVILLE DOES VERY WELL.
AND IT TAKES GREAT EFFORT, ESPECIALLY FROM THAT INSIDE CHASE TO BRING DOWN A NICE JOB THERE BAY BIBOLTON, TO MAKE CARTERVILLE COME UP SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.
>> PHILIP STANDS AT HIS 16 YARD LINE.
DAQUAN WHITE DEEP FOR THE SEMINOLES.
AS THE BALL ROLLS DEAD INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE, DO THEY GET ON TOP OF IT BEFORE THE TOUCH BACK?
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY WERE ABLE.
THEY MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TO PIN CREEKSIDE INSIDE THE FIVE YARD LINE BY ALLOWING THAT BALL TO ROLL INTO THE END ZONE.
SO THEY'LL BRING IT OUT TO THE 20 AND OUR FIRST CHANCE TO SEE THE SEMINOLES ON OFFENSE.
>> THE SEMINOLE OFFENSE A LOT OF TALENT.
THE QUARTERBACK.
HE CAN BEAT YOU WITH HIS ARM, BUT ALSO YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT.
HE CAN RUN THE BALL.
6'2", ABOUT 190 POUNDS, AND REALLY GETTING COMFORTABLE IN THIS OFFENSE.
>> THAT WAS A 69-YARD PUNT, BY THE WAY, THAT ROLLED INTO THE END ZONE.
SO THEY BRING THE BALL OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.
NIQUAY LET COMPLETED 65% OF HIS PASSES.
HAS RUN FOR 67 YARDS, 4á1/2 YARDS PER CARRY.
AVERAGES 143 IN TOTAL OFFENSE PER GAME.
AND THE HAND OFF GOES TO KAMARI DAVIS, THEIR LEADING RUSHER.
AND DAVIS GETS MAYBE TWO ON THE PLAY AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTERS PRESENTED BY REGENTS BANK.
GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTS BANK.
HOLMES AND LEFT TACKLE, THE BIG-TIME PROSPECT.
MORE ON HIM.
RATED INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE SOPHOMORE CLASS FOR THE NATION.
MILFORD, STEPHENS UP FRONT.
DAVIS AND BURKES THE RUNNING BACK, EDWARDS AND DAVIS A THREE STAR, BUT AS A SAFETY LINING UP AS THE WIDE RECEIVERS.
SO, SECOND DOWN AND 8.
AND DAVIS GETS IT AGAIN, AND DAVIS GETS ABOUT FIVE OR SIX ON THE PLAY BEFORE BEING RUN OUT OF BOUNDS.
GOING TO BRING UP A THIRD DOWN AND SHORT.
>> A BOUNCE TO THE OUTSIDE BY DAVIS TO GET THOSE POSITIVE YARDS.
>> HERE'S CARTERSVILLE ON DEFENSE UP FRONT.
RAN BERRY, ROBINSON AND EVAN.
THEIR LEADING TACKLER UP FRONT.
BRASS FIELD, WOODS, THE AFOREMENTIONED FORESTALL IN THE SECOND SPOTS.
SMALL, MAY HALL, ADAMS AND RAY.
SO, THIRD DOWN AND 3 LINE TO GAIN RIGHT ABOUT THE 30.
THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN CARRY RIGHT THERE AS THEY GIVE IT TO KAMARI DAVIS FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE RUN.
>> NOT PRETTY, BUT EFFECTIVE.
GET BEHIND THIS BIG OFFENSIVE LINE, AND I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS GAME HERE FOR CREEKSIDE.
THREE RUNS IN A ROW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT FASCINATEá-- THAT'S OLD SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
SOMETHING THAT COACH DIXON BELIEVES IN.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG LINE WITH WHERE THE SMALLEST GUY IS 290, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
MO DIXON WAS ON THE STATE SEMI FINAL TEAM 20 YEARS AGO PLAYING FOR FAMOUS AMOS, LEGENDARY.
QUARTERBACK RUN, COUGHED IT UP, SCOOPED UP AND CARTERSVILLE HAS IT AT THE 25 YARD LINE.
FUMBLE RECOVERY BY BEN ROBINSON AND CARTERSVILLE GETS THE FIRST BIG BREAK OF THE GAME.
>> GOOD MOVE IN ON THAT RIGHT SIDE OF THE BALL.
LITTLE R.P.O.
HERE.
AND NICE TACKLE.
LOOK AT THAT FORM TACKLE THERE BY BORIS TO KNOCK THAT BALL OUT.
DAQUAN LET, CARELESS WITH THE BALL.
RUNNING INSIDE.
NICE JOB BY FORESTALL.
LIVING UP TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLY.
>> THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS COACH DIXON SAID THEY HAD TO AVOID, TURNOVERS.
EVERY COACH SAYS THAT, BUT TURNOVERS EARLY IN THE GAME, THAT'S WHAT PUT THEM BEHIND THE 8 BALL IN THEIR 21-18 LOSS LAST YEAR.
AND THEY DO IT HERE ON THEIR FIRST POSSESSION.
LET'S SEE IF CARTERSVILLE CAN CASH IN.
FUMBLE FROM WHITE.
AS WHITE GETS HIS FIRST CARRY.
BREAKS OUT OF THE PILE AND GETS 8 OR 9 ON THE CARRY.
>> 190 POUNDS, BATTLED BACK FROM INJURIES.
JOHNNY ON THE SPOT THERE.
BAD SNAP, MISHANDLED.
COMING UP WITH THE BALL AND MAKING A GREAT PLAY OUT OF NOTHING FROM A DEAD SPOT, BEING ABLE TO GET 8 YARDS.
>> COACH FOSTER SAID IT BROKE HIS HEART FOR HIM TO BE OUT LAST YEAR.
SUFFERED THAT SEASON-ENDING KNEE INJURY FIRST GAME OF REGION á-- REGENT PLAY.
THIS IS A YOUNG MAN THAT'S BEEN WAITING.
HE'S BEEN ANXIOUS TO GET THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.
GETS IT FOR A SECOND CONSECUTIVE CARRY AND PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN AT THE 14 YARD LINE.
AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE REGENTS BANK STARTERS FOR CREEKSIDE ON DEFENSE.
GET BACK IN THE GAME, REGENTS BANK.
THREE-STAR DEFENSIVE TACKLE, WILLIAMS UP FRONT, BOLTON, THE LINE BACKERS MILLER.
WE TOLD YOU ABOUT.
McCRAREY, HILL AND KIMBER.
SECONDARY, MILLER, WHITE, McCRAREY, ALL THOSE GUYS ARE COLLEGE PROSPECTS AND JOINED BY HOWARD.
>>> 1st AND 10, BALL AT THE 15, WE'LL CALL IT.
>> CARTERSVILLE DOING A NICE JOB IN THIS DRIVE RUNNING BETWEEN THE TACKLES WITH WHITE.
>> TO THE AIR, PARKER WITH A POCKET THROW.
COMPLETE, TOUCHDOWN CARTERSVILLE!
THIS TIME JACOB RAY DID NOT DROP IT.
AND IT'S 6-0, PURPLE HURRICANES.
>> USUALLY THE CASE, THE EASY BALL IS HARD TO CATCH.
WHAT A BIG-TIME CATCH THERE.
COMING ACROSS THE MIDDLE BY JACOB RAY.
AND JAKE PARKER RIGHT THERE JUST THROWING A STRIKE.
GOOD PROTECTION.
LOOK AT THAT POCKET TO THROW FROM.
AND JUST DROPPING IT ON A DIME THERE.
WE TALK ABOUT SECONDARIES.
ONE OF THE TOP SECONDARIES IN THE STATE IS CREEKSIDE.
A NICE THROWING CATCH BETWEEN PARKER AND RAY.
>> P.A.T.
IS GOOD.
CARTERSVILLE LEADS 7-0.
>>> ON EVERY FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA, WE ARE THRILLED TO THANK OUR SPONSORS.
CIGNA CONTRIBUTED $1500 TO OUR FRIENDS IN CARTERSVILLE.
WE'RE JOINED BY THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DARRELL DAMASCUS.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT CARTERSVILLE'S CHANCE TO TAKE THE BIG STAGE TONIGHT?
>> ANOTHER WONDERFUL NIGHT IN CARTERSVILLE HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO TURN THE LIGHTS PURPLE HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE HOPEFULLY, AND JUST COME OUT WITH A BIG WIN.
IT'S A BIG GAME TONIGHT WITH CREEKSIDE.
THEY'RE VERY GOOD, SO WE'RE GOING TO GET TO SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT TONIGHT.
ALSO I WANT TO THANK GPB.
I'M ALWAYS EXCITED WHEN I LOOK AT MY PHONE AND SEE THAT KEVIN FROM GPB IS CALLING ME BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE FIXING TO HAVE A BALL GAME.
WE THANK GPBTV FOR COMING OUT AND BROADCASTING THIS FOR CIGNA FOR ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN.
AND WE'RE JUST EXCITED ABOUT BEING HERE.
>> WELL, YOU AND ME BOTH EXCITED TO GET A TEXT MESSAGE FROM KEVIN.
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
CIGNA FOR OUR SPONSORSHIP, AND OUR GREAT CHEER LEADERS AS WELL FOR JOINING US ON THE FIELD.
IT'S ANOTHER FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA.
>> THANK YOU, WILEY.
CONNER FOSTER'S TEAM OUT TO THE 7-0 LEAD.
THREE PLAYS, 26 YARDS AFTER THE FUMBLE RECOVERY BY BEN ROBINSON WITH PARKER GOING 15 YARDS ON THE TOUCHDOWN PASS TO JACOB RAY.
>> WANT TO WIN THE BIG GAME?
DO WHAT CARTERSVILLE DID.
GET THE POINTS AND PUT THE PRESSURE BACK ON CREEKSIDE.
>> AND THE KICKOFF IS GOING TO BE TAKEN TO THE 14 YARD LINE.
MISCOMMUNICATION THERE AS MILLER TAKES IT.
GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR HIM.
AND A FLAG OUT AS MILLER RETURNS IT UP TO THE 25 YARD LINE.
AND WE'LL CHECK THE PENALTY FOLLOWING THE 17-YARD RETURN BY MILLER.
SO, CREEKSIDE HURTING THEMSELVES WITH A TURNOVER, AND NOW HURTING THEMSELVES WITH A PENALTY.
YOU TAKE A LOOK AT RICKY SPEARS OUR REFEREE.
>> END OF THE RUN, FIRST DOWN.
>> AND THE REST OF THE CREW WORKING TONIGHT'S BALL GAME.
SO, 7:36 TO PLAY IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
CARTERSVILLE HAS TAKEN THE 7-0 LEAD.
THE BALL SPOTTED AT THE 14 YARD LINE, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SEMINOLES GO BACK ON OFFENSE FOR THE SECOND TIME.
HAND OFF GOES TO KAMARI DAVIS AGAIN, AND DAVIS PICKS UP ABOUT SIX ON THE PLAY UP TO THE 20 YARD LINE.
>> THIS IS CREEKSIDE AND THEY'RE OFF.
A DIFFERENT SET FOR BRINGING YOU THE SAME KIND OF ACTION OUT OF THE BACK FIELD.
DAVIS, BIRCH, BETWEEN THE TACKLES.
WHEN YOU HAVE A LARGE OFFENSIVE LINE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LOT BETWEEN THE TACKLE RUNS.
THAT'S WHERE KEMARI DAVIS, ONLY LISTED AT 170.
THE COACH TALKS ABOUT HOW HE RUNS AT ABOUT 230.
AND IT'S A POWER INSIDE RUN GAME.
>> FOUR CARRIES, 17 YARDS SO FAR FOR DAVIS.
AND NOTHING DOING AS HE GETS DRIVEN BACK.
GREAT PENETRATION RIGHT THERE BY PATE SMITH, THE LINEBACKER, A THREE-YEAR PLAYER ON THIS CARTERSVILLE DEFENSE.
>> AND WHAT A CHALLENGE THIS DEFENSIVE FRONT OF CARTERVILLE HAS TO GET OFF A BLOCK.
NICE SHOT THERE, BEATING THE LEFT TACKLE, OUT IN OPEN SPACE.
BRANDON ALEXANDRE, EXCUSE ME, THE TIGHT END THERE IS TATE SMITH.
CREEKSIDE LIKES TO PLAY SIX LINEMEN UP FRONT.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE ALL NIGHT ON CARTERSVILLE.
YOU HAVE TO PLAY BLOCKS AND A LOT OF EFFORT.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 3.
LET GOING TO GO TO THE AIR.
LOOKING TO THE FAR SIDE, AND IT IS GOING TO BE INCOMPLETE.
DROPPED AT THE 31 YARD LINE.
THAT WAS JALEN BEN HAM ON THE COVERAGE FOR CARTERSVILLE.
AND IT'S 4th DOWN AND 3.
>> NICE JOB, AND THIS IS WHAT THIS OFFENSE WANTS TO CREATE.
THEY WANT TO CREATE THIRD AND SHORT.
AND RIGHT THERE, JUST NOT COMING UP WITH THE CATCH IS THE RECEIVER, BUT NICE ROLL OUT THERE BY NIQUAY LET.
>> NIQUAY IS THEIR PUNTER.
THERE WAS A PENALTY ON THE PLAY.
AND I BELIEVE WE HAD A HOLDING CALL ON CREEKSIDE, SO THAT PENALTY WAS DECLINED BY CARTERSVILLE.
SO LETT STANDING AT HIS 11 YARD LINE.
AND THE PUNT GOES STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR.
VERY SHORT PUNT.
GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE 37 AND BOUNCE BACKWARDS.
SO CARTERSVILLE WILL TAKE OVER THE 35 YARD LINE.
JUST A 13-YARD KICK.
>> CAN'T ASK FOR A BETTER START TO THIS GAME IF YOU'RE CARTERSVILLE.
YOU GET THE TURNOVER, YOU PUNCH IT IN FOR 7, THEN YOUR DEFENSE TAKES THE FIELD AGAIN, AND HOLDS CREEKSIDE INSIDE THEIR 20.
NOW ONCE AGAIN YOU START THE DRIVE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE FIELD.
CARTERSVILLE HAS TO TAKE AND CONTINUE TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON CREEKSIDE.
>> SO 1st AND 10 FROM THE 35 YARD LINE FOR CARTERSVILLE.
SECOND OF THEIR THREE POSSESSIONS TO START ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 50.
THAT'S NOT A GOOD RECIPE FOR CREEKSIDE HERE.
THE RUN OF THE SCREEN PLAY TO HOUSTON, AND A NICE OPEN FIELD TACKLE RIGHT THERE BY RICKY McCRAE, THE NICKELBACK.
>> ONLY A SOPHOMORE, BUT WHAT A STUD McCRAE HAS ALREADY SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE AND THE TALENTED SECONDARY.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS DEFENSE, THEY ARE READY FOR THESE SCREENS.
AND THE ONE THING ABOUT SCREEN PLAYS, THAT INITIAL TACKLER HAS TO GET THE SCREENER ON THE GROUND.
NICE SHOT THERE BY McCRAE, CREATING THAT NEGATIVE YARDAGE FOR CARTERSVILLE.
>> McCRAE ONE OF THE TWO McCRAE TWINS STARRED STARTING IN THE SECONDARY FOR CREEKSIDE.
AND PARKER ON THE QUARTERBACK RUN.
MAKES IT TO THE 30 YARD LINE BEFORE BEING TACKLED BY VINCENT HILL, THE MIDDLE LINEBACKER.
>> GOOD JOB THERE BY PARKER.
YOU HAVE TO PULL, EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT BE YOUR SPECIALTY.
WHEN YOU RUN THESE R.P.O.s AS A QUARTERBACK, ESPECIALLY EARLY ON, YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH TO THE DEFENSE THAT YOU WILL PULL THE BALL AND RUN, RIGHT, THERE CATCHING THE DEFENSE CRASHING DOWN AND GETTING BIG-TIME YARDAGE.
>> HE GOT 7 ON THE PLAY, SO THIRD DOWN AND 5.
>> MAYBE HE'S BEEN WATCHING A LITTLE TREVOR LAWRENCE, CLEMSON.
>> MAYBE.
PROBABLY HAD SOME FILM ROOM TIME WITH TREVOR LAWRENCE.
WILEY WAS DONE, TREVOR COMES BACK TO CARTERSVILLE ALL THE TIME.
>>> THIRD DOWN AND 5.
PARKER WITH A POCKET, NOW BREAKS DOWN, BEING CHASED BY BOLTON.
THROWING ON THE RUN, AND A JUMP BALL, INCOMPLETE IN THE END ZONE.
>> NICE PRESSURE UP IN THE MIDDLE BY CASEY BOLTON ONCE AGAIN.
BREAKING THROUGH THAT GUARD CENTER AREA, FORCING PARKER OUTSIDE THE POCKET.
VERY DANGEROUS PASS HERE BY PARKER.
JUST KIND OF THROWING IT UP.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS SECONDARY, YOU DON'T WANT TO HANG BALLS UP AROUND HIM.
HE'S VERY TALENTED.
>> DaQUAN WHITE HAS 40 OFFERS.
THEY HAVE A NEW KICKER.
THIS IS OUT OF GUTIERREZ'S RANGE.
TOO CLOSE TO PUNT.
TOO LONG TO KICK A FIELD GOAL.
SO GOING FOR IT ON 4th AND 5.
RUSH, PARKER TAKES A SACK.
BACK AT THE 38 YARD LINE.
DaQUAN KIMBER WITH THE QUARTERBACK SACK AND GOING ON BOUNDS.
>> NO TIME WITH THE PRESSURE KIMBER.
ON THE EDGE, RUNNING THE GAME, MIXING UP THE LINE.
NOT BEING ABLE TO COME OFF, THE LEFT TACKLE DECLINED TO PICKUP THAT BLITZ.
>> SO CONNER FOSTER'S TEAM CAN'T PICKUP THE FIRST DOWN.
NOW CREEKSIDE IS GOING TO GO ON OFFENSE, LOOKING TO DO SOMETHING HERE.
YOU SEE FOSTER 26 AND 3 AS HE STARTS HIS THIRD SEASON AS THE HEAD COACH.
>>> AND THEY STICK WITH THE RUNNING GAME HERE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST CARRY BY CAMERON BIRCH.
>> IN THIS FIRST QUARTER, YOU CAN SEE CREEKSIDE'S ABILITY TO RUN THE BALL.
NO NEGATIVE PLAYS REALLY RUNNING THE BALL.
THEY HAD THE TURNOVER WITH LETT, BUT EVERYTHING IS ALL FORWARD.
YOU HAVE THE OFFENSIVE LINE.
THE HEAD COACH IS ALSO THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR.
HE'S USING HIS WEAPON, WHICH IS HIS SIZE RIGHT NOW, TO HIS ADVANTAGE.
>> HE BELIEVES THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME STOPPING THEIR RUN GAME.
HE'S DOWN, ACROSS THE 45 YARD LINE.
>> A NICE SWING PASS OUT ON THE EDGE.
GET THE BALL INTO THE BEST OFFENSIVE WEAPON THAT YOU HAVE, IS BIRCH.
5'10", 190 SENIOR.
JUST GIVE HIM ROOM TO RUN.
LOOK AT THE OFFENSIVE LINE.
LITTLE SCREEN.
GETTING OUT ON THE EDGE THERE.
TERRI STEPHENS TO SECURE THAT FIRST BLOCK.
AND THAT'S ALL YOU WANT, IS BIRCH ON THE EDGE WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND.
>> BIRCH IS THEIR LEADING WIDE RECEIVER.
YOU CAN TELL BY JUST WATCHING THIS FIRST QUARTER.
THEY RELY HEAVILY ON THEIR RUNNING BACKS IN THEIR OFFENSE.
>> CRYING SIDE, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
THEY WANT TO LEAN ON YOU AND KEEP PUSHING ON YOU.
AND IN THIS GAME RIGHT NOW, THE SIZE DIFFERENCE, YOU CAN SEE AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, YOU CAN'T REALLY GET ANY PENETRATION IN CARTERSVILLE.
IT'S 290 ACROSS THE BOARD.
EVEN REACHING UP TO 350, JAMARI AT THE CENTER.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 8, BALL AT THE 39.
MAKE THAT THE 41 YARD LINE.
AND THE RUN BY LETT.
THAT'S HIS FIRST RUN SINCE HE FUMBLED THE BALL.
AND HE'S ABLE TO GET THE BALL INSIDE THE 40 YARD LINE.
GOING TO BRING UP THIRD DOWN.
>> NICE JOB THERE BY LETT.
YOU WANT TO SEE A LITTLE MORE BALL SECURITY.
RIGHT THERE, WHAT THEY USED TO CALL CARRYING IT LIKE A LOAF OF BREAD.
YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT ELBOW TUCKED TO THE SIDE IF YOU'RE LETT.
IF YOU'RE TALL AND KIND OF LONG, BUT YOU'RE LEAN, THIS CARTERSVILLE IS VERY AGGRESSIVE.
>> THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE HIM THE FIRST DOWN.
YOU SEE THE LINE TO GAIN, THEY'RE GOING TO BE LESS THAN A YARD SHY OF THAT FIRST DOWN AND ON 4th DOWN, I'M GUESSING THAT THEY'RE GOING FOR IT RIGHT HERE.
>> YEAH, THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE PLAYS BY COACH DIXON YOU ALREADY DECIDED WE WERE GOING FOR IT ON 4.
>> THEY GAVE HIM THE FIRST DOWN, OKAY.
>> WE HAVE THIS KIND OF OFFENSIVE LINE, YOU JUST LEAN FORWARD, YOU CUT DOWN THE SPACING BETWEEN THE OFFENSIVE GUARD AND TACKLE AND YOU JUST START MOVING FORWARD.
>> COACHING AT HIS ALMA MATER.
MAURICE DIXON CAME BACK.
HE WAS KIND OF THROWN INTO THE JOB.
>> OFFENSE, 5 YARD PENALTY.
>> HE WAS THROWN INTO THE JOB IN 2017.
HE TOOK OVER IN JULY.
SO THAT'S TWO MONTHS AFTER SUMMER WORKOUTS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY STARTED.
THEY WENT 0-10 THAT YEAR, BUT THEY'VE GONE 24-12 SINCE HE'S BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH HIS PRINCIPLES IN THE PROGRAM.
>> HE HAS A LITTLE SECRET, I THINK, WHEN I LISTEN TO COACH DIXON.
HE WASN'T VERY SURPRISED AT HIS TEAM WENT UP GO AND BEAT GRAYSON AND WEST LAKE.
HE SEEMS LIKE HE KNOWS WHAT KIND OF TEAM HE HAS.
BIG FELLA HIMSELF RIGHT THERE.
I KNOW HE LOVES TO RUN THE BALL.
>> IT'S IN HIS DNA.
SO, FIRST AND 15 FOLLOWING THE MARK OFF HERE.
AND A DISCUSSION GOING ON HERE BETWEEN COACH FOSTER AND THE OFFICIALS.
HE SAID THEY EXPECTED TO WIN THE GAME AT GRAYSON.
THEY WENT UP THERE, THEY WON 19-14.
WON THAT BALL GAME.
LAST WEEK THEY BEAT WEST LAKE 27-20.
THEY WON NINE OUT OF TEN SINCE THAT LOSS TO CARTERSVILLE LAST SEASON.
THAT ONLY LOSS BEING IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THE STATE PLAYOFFS TO THE COUNTY.
HE SAID THE GOAL THIS YEAR WAS TO GET BEYOND THE SECOND ROUND OF THE STATE PLAYOFFS.
THEY'VE BEEN STOPPED THERE THE LAST THREE SEASONS.
CREEKSIDE, TEN RUSHES.
TWO PASSES.
THAT'S THE THIRD, AND REALLY MORE LIKE A RUN RIGHT THERE.
BIRCH TAKES A BIG HIT AS HE CROSSES THE 30 YARD LINE.
THAT'S A POSITIVE PICKUP RIGHT THERE.
JACOB RAY WHO HAD THE TOUCHDOWN CATCH CAME OVER TO ADMINISTER THE BIG HIT.
>> NICE BLOCKING OUT ON THE EDGE BY JOSIAH CARTER RAIL, TO LET THIS PLAY HAPPEN.
SWING PASS ONCE AGAIN, AS YOU SAID MATT.
AN EXTENSION OF THE RUN GAME.
GIVE THE BALL TO YOUR BEST PLAYER.
BIG HIT BY BIRCH, ABSORBING THAT HIT.
THIS IS THE CREEKSIDE TEAM THAT YOU EXPECTED.
BIG OFFENSIVE LINE, SAFE PASSING GAME.
NOT TRYING TO BEAT THEMSELVES.
>> GOING FOR THE TOUCHDOWN HERE.
JUMP BALL IN THE END ZONE, AND ISIAH DAVIS COULD NOT COME UP WITH IT ON SECOND DOWN.
>> COACH DIXON TALKED ABOUT TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THIS GAME, HE FELT LIKE ONE OF THE KEYS WAS HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO WIN THIS MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE.
RIGHT NOW RUNNING THE BALL.
HE'S TRYING TO FORCE THIS CARTERSVILLE DEFENSE TO HAVE TO DROP SOMEBODY DOWN IN THE BOX.
>> YEP, YEP.
>> BUT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO WIN AND KEEP THIS DEFENSE ON IT BY GOING UP TOP.
>> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
THEY JUST KEEP RUNNING THE BALL UNTIL THEY GET THAT MAN COVERAGE, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THEIR SHOT.
LETT SLIPPED AS HE TRIED TO CUT BACK.
AND IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.
>> THIS IS THE PRESSURE THAT CREEKSIDE PUTS ON YOU, NOT JUST WITH LETT BEING ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.
WHEN THEY GET IN THESE 4th AND 2, 4th AND 3 AS A DEFENSE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THEY MIGHT GO FOR IT.
THAT'S THE KIND OF RUN GAME, ESPECIALLY ON THEIR SIDE OF THE FIELD, THAT THEY HAVE.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING FOR IT HERE.
THEIR KICKER IS REALLY MORE THANá-- NOTHING MORE THAN A P.A.T.
KICKER OR VERY SHORT FIELD GOAL.
THIS WOULD BE OUT OF HIS RANGE.
THIS WOULD BE A 43-YARDER, SO THAT IS NOT AN OPTION.
9th PLAY OF THE DRIVE HERE AND FOURTH DOWN.
THEY'RE GOING FOR IT.
THE GAME 24, 23.
AND NOT GOING TO GET THERE!
GREAT PENETRATION BY THAT CARTERSVILLE DEFENSE!
CASE ADAMS, THE SAFETY, COMES UP FROM THE DEFENSIVE SECONDARY TO COME UP WITH THE BIG STOP.
AND THE BALL GOES OVER ON DOWN.

MATT STEWART ALONG WITH WAYNE GANDY.
ANOTHER BIG STOP.
THAT'S AT LEAST TWO BIG-TIME STOPS WE'VE HAD ON FOURTH DOWN BY THESE TWO RESPECTIVE DEFENSES.
NOW CARTERSVILLE GOES BACK ON OFFENSE FROM THE 27 YARD LINE.
AND THE FIRST CARRY OF THE NIGHT BY MALACHI JEFFREYS.
HE'S THE BIG BACK AS YOU CAN TELL.
5'10", 205.
MORE ON HIM WHEN WE GET BACK.
WE WRAPPED UP THE FIRST 12 MINUTES AT WYMAN STADIUM.
7th RANKED CARTERSVILLE 7 LEADING CREEKSVILLE HERE ON GPB.
>>> 7-0 CARDERS CARTERSVILLE AFTER FIRST QUARTER.
IT'S A GOOD START FOR J.J. CHATMAN, A CARTERSVILLE NATIVE RETURNING HOME AFTER HE SPENT THE LAST SEVEN YEARS AT BUFORD.
THEY WEREN'T SURE HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK.
IT WAS A PRETTY NICE JOB HE HAD AT BUFORD.
WHEN HE GOT ON THE PHONE AND STARTED TALKING SCHEME, THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A FIT.
THEY PLAYED TOGETHER AT CARTERSVILLE.
SO FAR THEY'RE WORKING OUT WELL, UNDEFEATED AS A DEFENSIVE COACH PAIRING, AND THREE BIG QUARTER STOPS.
>>> THANK YOU, WILEY.
SECOND QUARTER 4, AND WILD CAT RIGHT THERE, THAT'S THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK PAUL GAMBLE IN THERE TO RUN THE BALL.
HE PICKS UP ABOUT A YARD ON THE PLAY.
AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN JUST TO PUT A BOW ON WILEY'S STORY, COACH FOSTER SAID IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR HIM TO HIRE COACH CHATMAN, HIS BUDDY BACK, HIS HIGH SCHOOL BUDDY, TO BRING HIS FAMILY BACK TO CARTERSVILLE.
OF COURSE, THEY BOTH SHARE IN COMMON THEIR GREAT FRIENDSHIP WITH JOEY KING WHO IS BACK IN THE STATE AS THE HEAD COACH AT CARROLLTON.
COACH FOSTER, COACH KING TALK EVERY DAY ON THE PHONE.
COACH CHATMAN AND KING TALK EVERY DAY AT NEWMAN.
>>> SO THIRD DOWN AND 3 NOW.
AND PARKER BACK IN THERE TRYING TO THROW A SCREEN PASS.
IT'S INCOMPLETE.
TRYING TO SQUEEZE THE BALL IN A TIGHT SPOT TO MALACHI JEFFRIES.
CARTERSVILLE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PUNT.
>> THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE IS STOPPING THE SCREEN.
THEY'RE COMING OFF THE PRESSURE.
YOU CAN SEE THEM READING ANY KIND OF INDICATION BY THE QUARTERBACK THAT HE'S GOING TO THE SCREEN GAME.
YOU CAN SEE THESE DNs AND TACKLES BELLOING BACK TO GET INTO PASS LANES.
RIGHT NOW THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB SHUTTING DOWN ONE OF THE STRENGTHS OF THE CARTERSVILLE OFFENSE WHICH IS THE SCREEN GAME.
>> THAT WAS A POINT OF EMPHASIS FOR COACH DIXON.
CONTROL THE RUN GAME, STOCK THE SCREEN GAME.
THAT IS OFF THE FUT OF SCHULTZ.
AND IT'S GOOGLE TO BARELY GET BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
HE WAS TRYING TO ANGLE THE KICK TO THE FAR SIDE, TRYING TO KICK IT AWAY FROM THEIR DANGEROUS RETURNERS, AND COACH FOSTER IS GIVING HIM AN EARFUL RIGHT THERE, A PAT ON THE HELMET.
A LITTLE COACH AND A LITTLE LOVING, BUT A MISTAKE RIGHT THERE IS GOING TO GIVE A SHORT FIELD TO CREEKSIDE.
>> WE SAW THIS IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
AND IN REVERSE WHERE CREEKSIDE HAD A SHANK ON THEIR PUNT.
NOW CAN THEY COME OUT AND CONTROL THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AS THEY HAVE?
STAY IN FRONT OF THE STICKS AND ONCE AGAIN, AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS CARTERSVILLE DEFENSE, THEY'RE PLAYING OFF IN THE SECONDARY.
THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE CREEKSIDE HAVE TO EARN EACH YARD.
>> JUST A 3-YARD PUNT FOR SCHULTZ.
AND THAT'S A SHUTTLE PASS, AHEAD TO BIRCH.
GETS THE FIRST DOWN.
CAMERON BIRCH DRAGGING DEFENDERS, GETS IT DOWN INSIDE THE 30 YARD LINE.
>> VERY IMPRESSED WITH BIRCH.
HIS COACH TALKED ABOUT HIM BEING THE BEST WEAPON THEY HAVE, AND WE'VE SEEN EARLY IN THIS GAME ONLY INTO THE SECOND QUARTER, THEY FIND ALL KINDS OF WAYS TO GET THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.
5'10", 200 POUNDS.
HE'S GREAT WITH HIS HANDS.
BUT RIGHT THERE, A PHYSICAL RUN TO FINISH OFF AND GET THAT FIRST DOWN.
>> I THINK ONLY THREE PLAYERS HAVE TOUCHED THE BALL FOR CREEKSIDE IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
LETT, BIRCH AND DAVIS.
NOBODY ELSE.
THEY'VE TRIED A COUPLE OF PASSES, INCOMPLETE, BUT BETWEEN THOSE THREE GUYS, THEY'VE HAD THE BALL IN THEIR HANDS ON EVERY PLAY AS LETT, HIS BEST RUN OF THE NIGHT SO FAR.
GOING TO BRING UP SECOND DOWN.
>> YOU CAN SEE HIM GAINING CONFIDENCE.
NOT A LOT OF RUNS ON HIS BELT, BUT YOU CAN SEE AFTER THAT FUMBLE, HE'S DOING A LITTLE BETTER JOB IN THESE LAST COUPLE RUNS OF FALLING FORWARD.
>> THIS HAS TO MAKE COACH FOSTER A LITTLE NERVOUS.
LETT IS A GUY THAT GETS OFF TO A SHAKY START THEN GETS INTO A RHYTHM AS THE GAME GOES ON.
HAPPENED WITH HIM LAST WEEK AGAINST WEST LAKE WHEN THEY BEAT THE LIONS 27-20.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LETT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BIRCH.
AND DAVIS.
THIS LINE OF SCRIMMAGE IS STARTING TO MOVE NOW.
YOU SEE MILFORD AND WILLIAMS UP FRONT.
GUYS ARE THREE OR FOUR YARDS DOWN THE FIELD BEFORE THEY'RE RUNNING INTO A DEFENDER.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT CREEKSIDE TRYING TO FORCE CARTERSVILLE TO HAVE TO GET OUT OF THAT SOFT COVERAGE AND COME UP AND STOP THE RUN.
>> SO, THIRD DOWN AND 1.
AND BIRCH GETS HIT BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE THIS TIME.
THAT IS TATE SMITH WITH THE PENETRATION.
AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE FACED WITH ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE THEY MIGHT HAVE TO GO FOR IT.
>> WANT TO STOP THE RUN, YOU HAVE TO GET PENETRATION.
A LITTLE OFF ON THE SNAP RIGHT THERE, AND NOT BEING FOOLED AT ALL IS GRANT PERRY OUT ON THE EDGE.
HE MOVES AROUND BECAUSE HE IS A PLAYMAKER, NUMBER 9.
YOU SEE HIM EVERYWHERE.
AND YOU'RE RIGHT, MATT, 4th AND 3 AS WE TALKED ABOUT, CREEKSIDE IS NOT SCARED TO GO FOR IT.
>> THEY'RE 0 FOR 1 ON FOURTH DOWN CONVERSIONS.
LETT'S GOING TO THROW IT.
THE COMPLETION, AND IS HE GOING TO GET THE FIRST DOWN?
I THINK HE'S SHORT.
IT'S HARD TO TELL.
HE MIGHT BE SHORT OF THE STICKS ON THAT PLAY.
>> NICE EASY ROLL OUT THERE BY LETT, BUT THIS IS ON CAMERON BIRCH.
IN THIS SITUATION, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE PAST THAT FIRST DOWN MARKER WHEN THE QUARTERBACK THROWS THE BALL.
YOU CAN SEE INITIALLY ON THE ROLLOUT THAT CAMERON BIRCH WAS A LITTLE SHORT AND TRIED TO FORCE HIS WAY TO THE FIRST DOWN.
BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE CLOSE.
>> YOU CALLED IT OLD-FASHIONED FOOTBALL.
HOW MUCH MORE OLD-FASHIONED THAN A MEASUREMENT?
THEY BRING THE STICKS OUT AND THEY MEASURE, AND THEY COME UP SHORT!
BY ABOUT AN INCH!
THAT IS THE THIRD FOURTH-DOWN CONVERSION ATTEMPT OF THE NIGHT.
AND EACH ONE OF THEM HAVE FAILED.
WE'LL STEP ASIDE.
>>> 7th RANKED CARTERSVILLE LEADING NUMBER 4 CREEKSIDE 7-0.
THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH GEORGIA IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADER IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, AFFORDABILITY AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT WITH MORE THAN 80 UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS AND MASTERS AND DOCTORAL PROGRAMS AND BUSINESS, EDUCATION, HEALTH SCIENCES, CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND MORE.
DETAILS AT GO.UMG.EDU/LEARN MORE.
>>> SO, AFTER OUR THIRD FAILED FOURTH DOWN CONVERSION ATTEMPT, TWO BY CREEKSIDE, ONE BY CARTERSVILLE, PURPLE HURRICANES GO BACK ON OFFENSE AND WE'VE GOT MOVEMENT UP FRONT.
>> FALSE START, OFFENSE.
REMAINS FIRST DOWN.
>> BACK THEM UP 5 YARDS.
CARTERSVILLE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER UP FRONT THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN RECENT YEARS.
>> HUGE LINE ON ONE SIDE AND CREEKSIDE, WE SAY A HUGE LINE.
BUT THIS CARTERSVILLE OFFENSIVE LINE, ABOUT 270 ON AVERAGE ACROSS THE BOARD, WHICH IS AN UPGRADE FOR THEM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB WITH WHITE AND JEFFREYS BEING ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.
>> PARKER COMPLETE TO FLETCHER FOR FLETCHER'S SECOND CATCH OF THE BALL GAME.
FLETCHER CAME IN, TOP RECEIVER ON THE TEAM.
NINE CATCHES FOR 120 YARDS.
AND PARKER, J.B. KIDD LAST TWO YEARS, COACH FOSTER SAID HE REALLY RESPECTS THE FACT THAT PARKER EMBRACED THE PROCESS, EMBRACED THE GRIND.
SO MANY KIDS NOWADAYS, IF THEY'RE NOT THE STARTING QUARTERBACK IN HIGH SCHOOL, BY THE 10th GRADE, THEY'RE LOOKING TO JUMP SHIP.
>> SOMETHING THAT JAKE PARKER WANTED TO BE, WHICH IS THE STARTING QUARTERBACK AT CARTERSVILLE.
AND HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB.
YOU CAN SEE THE TALENT THAT HE POSSESSES.
>> GOING TO TAKE A SACK RIGHT THERE AT THE 15 YARD LINE.
A BUNCH OF GUYS IN ON THAT ONE, LED BY VINCENT HILL.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PLAYS WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT TIME AND TIMING JUST IS OFF, TRYING TO GET THAT QUICK SCREEN ON THE R.P.O., IS NOT THERE.
THAT'S THE ONE THING ABOUT THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE.
A LOT OF MAN-TO-MAN GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO BRING PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE.
YOU DON'T GET TO COCK AND RESET.
YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THE BALL.
JAKE PARKER FOUND THAT OUT QUICKLY.
>> THAT'S THE SECOND QUARTERBACK SACK FOR THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE TONIGHT.
THEY CAME IN WITH 11 IN THEIR FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON.
LIKE WE SAID, THE BIG-TIME COLLEGE PROSPECTS FOR CREEKSIDE ARE ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL.
>>> THIRD AND 14, HEAVY RUSH!
PARKER HIT AS HE THROWS, AND FLETCHER COULD NOT CATCH THE QUICK SLANT.
IT'S FOURTH DOWN.
>> LITTLE TRIPS RIGHT FROM CARTERSVILLE TRYING TO GET THE BALL OUT.
AS WE TALKED ABOUT, ONE OF THE BETTER SECONDARIES IN THE STATE, GREAT PRESSURE JUST BARRELLING DOWN ON HIM RIGHT THERE.
NOT GIVING HIM TIME TO STEP INTO THAT THROW.
IF YOU'RE CREEKSIDE IN THIS DEFENSE, THIS IS WHAT YOU EXPECT TO COME OUT, TRY TO GIVE YOUR OFFENSE THE SHORT FIELD BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR STYLE.
AND NOW CAN THIS OFFENSIVE LETT AND THESE RUNNING BACKS CONVERGE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FIELD POSITION.
>> BOOMER FROM SHILDTS, MAN, HE SAID DEEP.
OFF AT THE 30 YARD LINE.
AND A RETURN OF MAYBE 3.
SO SHILDTS HAS BEEN A MIXED BAG TONIGHT.
HIS FIRST KICK WAS 69 YARDS.
HIS SECOND KICK WAS 3 YARDS.
THAT ONE WAS 54.
>> NICE COVERAGE THERE BY CASE ADAMS.
HUSTLING DOWN, ALMOST COMING UP WITH THE TURNOVER.
AND THE BEST PART WHICH SYMBOLIZES THIS DEFENSE IS HOW HE GOT OFF THE GROUND AND CHASED THE BALL DOWN.
BOOMING PUNT, THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED.
MAKE CREEKSIDE HAVE TO GO THE LENGTH OF THE FIELD.
SO FAR SO GOOD BY J.J. CHATMAN AND HIS DEFENSE, MAKING THIS OFFENSE SLOW ROLL THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.
PLAYING SOFT IN THE SECONDARY, MAKING THEM EXECUTE.
>> PASS IS COMPLETE.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A LOSS ON THE PLAY, HOWEVER, ON THE COMPLETION TO TREY EDWARDS.
JAQUALIN MAYHALL WAS THERE TO MAKE THE TACKLE.
>> YOU CAN SEE THERE THE ENERGY OF THIS CANES DEFENSE.
RALLY THE BALL.
NO SCREEN, TRY TO GET THE BALL TO YOUR ATHLETE ON THE EDGE.
LOOK AT THE PURPLE WAVE.
NOT SURE WHERE IT COMES IN, BUT CAME AS A WAVE.
NICE EFFORT.
EFFORT IS CARTERSVILLE IN THIS DEFENSE.
>> I TELL YOU WHAT, IF WE'RE GREAT IN THE UNIFORMS, BOTH THESE TEAMS HAVE SHARP LOOKING UNIFORMS.
THE GOLD COMBINATIONS WITH THE CARDINALS AND THE PURPLE.
AND LETT GOING TO LET IT FLY, AND INCOMPLETE.
LOOKING DOWN FIELD FOR DERRICK WHITE.
THAT WAS JACOB RAY ON THE COVERAGE, AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN AND LONG.
>> NOWHERE TO REALLY GO WITH THE BALL.
ROLLING OUT, WE'VE SEEN CREEKSIDE DO THIS, MAURICE DIXON DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR.
TRYING TO BUY TIME.
NOTHING DOWN FIELD.
GETTING OUT, AVOIDING THE SACK.
IF YOU'RE CARTERSVILLE, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, MAKE DaQUAN, FROM THE POCKET.
THIRD AND 15, CAN'T ASK FOR A BETTER SITUATION FOR THE CANES.
>> I SEE WHERE ROBBIE ROPER THROUGH AN 81 YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS TONIGHT.
THEY LEAD NORTH POLLEDING.
MAKE THAT OFFER TONIGHT ON RECRUITING 2021.
IF YOU MISSED THE SHOW LIVE, WE'LL PLAY IT FOR YOU IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE END OF THIS BALL GAME.
FOURTH DOWN AND A PUNTING SITUATION FOR CREEKSIDE.
>> THREE-MAN RUSH HERE BY CARTERSVILLE.
TRYING TO BUY SOME TIME AND GET OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET IS LETT.
SO FAR SO GOOD BY CARTERSVILLE ON THE BACK END.
NOT LETTING THESE RECEIVERS GET IN BEHIND THEM.
>> LETT FIVE OF EIGHT.
24 YARDS PASSING, NOT A LOT OF VERTICALITY.
THEY TRIED A FEW SHOTS, AND NONE OF THEM CAME UP WITH ANYTHING.
SO FOURTH AND 15, AND LETT STANDING AT THE 18 TO PUNT.
HEAVY RUSH.
LINE DRIVE KICK, GETS IT OUT OF THERE.
IT'S CAUGHT, FAIR CAUGHT AT THE 36 YARD LINE BY FLETCHER.
AND THAT'S WHERE CARTERSVILLE WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE WHEN WE GET BACK FROM THIS TIME-OUT.
>>> CARTERSVILLE CONTINUES WITH THE 7-0 LEAD ON CREEKSIDE.
MATT STEWART ALONG WITH WAYNE GANDY.
WILEY BALLARD.
HANNAH GOODEN WITH YOU.
AS WE OPEN UP ON THE GEORGIA FRIDAYS SCHEDULE, WE'LL TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE EIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES IN DECEMBER.
AND IT'S BEEN A DEFENSIVE STRUGGLE AS THE PURPLE HURRICANES GO BACK ON OFFENSE AT THEIR OWN 37 YARD LINE.
THE ONLY TOUCHDOWN A 15-YARD PASS FROM JAKE PARKER TO JACOB RAY.
AND WHITE GETS THE CARRY, AND WHITE WITH HIS BEST RUN OF THE NIGHT PICKS UP 7 YARDS ON THE PLAY.
>> ONCE AGAIN, PAUL CAMPBELL COMING IN AS THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK.
THE WILD CAT FORMATION BY HIM.
A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN JAY PARKER.
HE'S A PHYSICAL RUNNER, BUT LOOK HERE, OMARI WHITE, ONLY 170 ON THE BOOKS.
BUT SHAKING OFF TACKLES.
AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT, CREEKSIDE HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE RUNNING THE BALL.
THIS CARTERSVILLE OFFENSE HAS A RUN GAME AS WELL.
>> COACH FOSTER SAYS WHITE RUNS WITH ANGER.
AFTER MISSING OVER HALF THE SEASON LAST YEAR, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY.
NOW A SENIOR.
GETTING HIS FIRST CARRIES OF THE SEASON HERE TONIGHT.
AND WHITE THIS TIME RUNS INTO THE DEFENSE, AND FINDS A HOLE AND PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN SOMEHOW.
HE SQUIRMED THROUGH THE CREEKSIDE FRONT AND PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN.
>> I THINK HE'S DISPLAYING SOME OF THAT ANGER RIGHT THERE ON THAT RUN.
BOBBLE SNAP FROM THE JUMP RIGHT HERE.
WHEN YOU'RE SURE YOU CAN GET BEHIND THAT BIG LINE, GUYS CAN'T FIND YOU, AND RIGHT HERE IT'S ALL ABOUT EFFORT RIGHT HERE.
ALL THIS IS ABOUT HIM GETTING HIS SHOULDERS SQUARE.
FIRST GAME BACK, A LOT OF ENERGY.
AND THIS IS WHAT THIS OFFENSE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO RUN THIS BALL AGAINST THIS MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE.
>> FIVE CARRIES, 36 YARDS FOR WHITE AS JEFFRIES CHECKS BACK IN.
HE'S HAD ONLY ONE CARRY SO FAR TONIGHT AFTER RUSHING FOR 120 YARDS IN THEIR FIRST TWO GAMES.
GOING TO THROW A SCREEN PASS HERE.
AND THAT'S COMPLETE FOR A FIRST DOWN AND MORE.
JAMAHRI BRICE WITH HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE SEASON.
A 15-YARD PICKUP.
>> THIS IS A DANGER FOR CARTERSVILLE.
SCREENS GALORE OUT ON THE EDGE.
NICE BLOCKING THERE BY COLIN FLETCHER TO SPRING THIS PLAY FOR BRICE TO GET UP IN THAT ALLEY.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT KEY BLOCK, WHETHER IT'S COMING FROM THE TIGHT END, THE TACKLE, THE GUARD.
RIGHT THERE BY COLIN FLETCHER, THE WIDE RECEIVER.
>> THAT SCREEN GAME HAS BEEN A STAPLE OF THE CARTERSVILLE OFFENSEá-- INTERCEPTED!
DaQUAN WHITE GOING TO TAKE IT BACK ALL THE WAY.
TOUCHDOWN CREEKSIDE!
>> YOU WANT TO SEE THE DEFINITION OF JUMPING THE ROUTE.
RIGHT HERE, NUMBER 4, DaQUAN WHITE, READING HIS KEYS.
AND HOW EXCITING IS THAT CREEKSIDE DEFENSE!
MAN-TO-MAN, QUICK SCREEN ON THE EDGE.
GREAT HANDS THERE BY WHITE.
WE TALKED ABOUT WHITE AND MILLER, JUST JUMPING THE ROUTE, COMING UP BIG FOR THIS DEFENSE.
>> I THINK WE HAVE A CELEBRATION PENALTY CALLED ON CREEKSIDE AFTER THE 68-YARD PICK SIX BY DaQUAN WHITE.
SECOND HUGE DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE SEASON BY WHITE.
HE HAD A 100-YARD SCOOP AND SCORE IN THEIR UPSET OF GRAYSON.
AND HE'S A THREE-STAR WITH 24 OFFERS, INCLUDING FLORIDA STATE, GEORGIA TECH AND TENNESSEE.
YOU CAN SEE WHY.
AND THE KICK IS BLOCKED.
THE P.A.T.
IS BLOCKED, AND THE SCORE REMAINS 7-6.
OH, LOOK AT THAT.
HE'S GOT HIM SOME BLING.
>> EMPTY BACK FIELD, QUICK SCREEN, TRYING TO GET THE BALL OUT ON THE EDGE TO LANDO, CHRISTIAN LANDO.
FALLING OFF THE ROUTE IS DaQUAN WHITE.
5'11", 180, ONLY A JUNIOR.
A LOT OF TALENT.
WATCHING THE SEMINOLES, THAT LOOKED LIKE AN OLD '80s SEMINOLE PLAYER RIGHT THERE.
>> YES, IT DID.
EXCEPT WE'RE IN '21.
>> JACKSON USED TO PLAY HERE IN THE ATLANTA FALCON UNIFORM.
NICE JOB BY DaQUAN WHITE.
>> VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE USED TO SEE IN PRIMETIME IN ATLANTA.
WHAT THOSE FANS IN TALLAHASSEE GREW ACCUSTOMED TO.
THEY GOT SUCH AN UBER TALENTED SECONDARY MILLER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
HE'S ACTUALLY THE HIGHER RATED PROSPECT.
BUT WHITE, OF COURSE, IS SECOND TO NO ONE.
HE'S GOT GREAT ABILITY.
AND YOU SAW IT RIGHT THERE.
>> I LIKE HOW COACH DIXON TALKED ABOUT EVEN THOUGH HE'S THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, HE PUTS HIS BEST PLAYERS ON DEFENSE.
>> I PUT MY BEST PLAYERS ON DEFENSE, I FIGURE I'M A GOOD ENOUGH COACH TO GET 7 POINTS A GAME ON OFFENSE, THAT OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH FOR US TO WIN WITH OUR DEFENSE.
RIGHT NOW THEY TRAIL 7-6, BUT THEY GOT THE PICK SIX AS CARTERSVILLE WILL TRY TO REGROUP AFTER THAT STUNNING INTERCEPTION BY WHITE.
AND HOUSTON ON THE RETURN FOR CARTERSVILLE.
GOING TO GIVE HIM SOME PRETTY GOOD FIELD POSITION, UP AROUND THE 35 YARD LINE WITH 4á1/2 TO PLAY IN THE HALF.
23-YARD RETURN RIGHT THERE.
SO HOW DO YOU THINK THAT IMPACTS THE OFFENSE WHEN YOU HAVE A STUNNING PLAY SUDDENLY LIKE THAT?
DO YOU THINK PARKER MAY BE A LITTLE GUN SHY TO GO BACK TO THAT PLAY?
>> THIS IS THAT VETERAN THAT YOU NEED HIM TO DISPLAY HERE IN THIS SITUATION.
WE TALKED ABOUT HE'S NOT AFRAID OF COMPETING.
HE'S HAD TO COMPETE HIMSELF ALL THE WAY TO THIS MOMENT IN HIS CAREER.
CAN THEY GET BACK INTO A GROOVE QUICKLY?
BECAUSE THIS GAME, AS WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE BREAK, IS SHAPING INTO ONE OF THOSE, WHO MAKES THE FEWEST MISTAKES.
GOING INTO THE HALF, IF YOU'RE CARTERSVILLE, YOU JUSTá-- YOU REALLY WANT TO ERASE AND TAKE BACK THE MOMENTUM.
>> SO, 1st AND 10.
PARKER SIX OF 10, 41 YARDS, A TOUCHDOWN, AND THE PICK SIX AS WELL.
NOW THAT HUNGRY SEMINOLES DEFENSE STOPS MALACHI JEFFRIES.
THAT WAS VINSON HILL, MALIK TULLY SON.
>> WE CALLED HIS NAME A COUPLE OF TIMES, COMING FROM THAT KNOLLS TACKLE POSITION.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES A GREAT DEFENSIVE TACKLE.
NOLES TACKLE.
YOU NEED THAT PENETRATION, SO THAT CUT-BACK LANE GETS CUT OFF.
RIGHT NOW CASEY BOLDEN IS DOING THAT JOB INSIDE.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 12.
JEFFRIES STAYS IN THERE AT RUNNING BACK.
THEY'LL RUN A PLAY ACTION HERE, AND PARKER RUNNING.
AND PARKER BARELY GETS BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
THERE IS A FLAG DROPPED AT THE 33 YARD LINE.
SO WE'LL CHECK THAT PENALTY.
>> ONE THING WE'RE NOT SEEING SO FAR AS THIS GAME GOES ONá-- >> HOLDING CALL GOING TO GO AGAINST CARTERSVILLE HERE.
YOU LOOK AT CREEKSIDE'S OFFENSIVE STATS AND YOU'RE LIKE THINKING HOW DID THEY BEAT GRAYSON?
>> OFFENSE, DECLINED.
THIRD DOWN.
>> HOW THEY BEAT WESLEY.
IT'S BECAUSE THEY MAKE BIG PLAYS.
>> BIG PLAYS ON DEFENSE.
OPPORTUNITY ON OFFENSE.
WHEN THE PLAYS ARE NEEDED TO BE MADE, AS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH DaQUAN, LETT, HE MAKES THE PLAYS WHEN HE NEEDS TO.
WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT DEFENSE AND AS MAURICE DIXON, THE HEAD COACH TALKS ABOUT, THAT'S HOW THEY'RE COMING IN TO PLAY.
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP A LOT ON OFFENSE.
AND THEY EXPECTá-- I MEAN, ON DEFENSE.
AND THEY EXPECT THEIR DEFENSE TO SET UP THE OFFENSE.
>> YEP.
THIRD DOWN AND 12 AFTER THE PENALTY WAS DECLINED.
PARKER GOING UP TOP FOR FLETCHER.
CONTACT.
WE'LL HAVE A PENALTY HERE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE NICKELBACK McCRAREY HAD HIS HANDS ALL OVER IT.
>> JUST GO ROUTE OUT ON THE EDGE BY COLIN FLETCHER.
SET UP, GET THE BALL, GET SOME AIR ON IT, AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE, NO QUESTION.
>> STILL ALMOSTá-- >> 15-YARD PENALTY PREVIOUS SPOT.
RESULTS IN FIRST DOWN.
>> SO, A FIRST DOWN HERE FOR CARTERSVILLE.
THEY TRY TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER LATE IN THIS SECOND QUARTER.
LEADING BY ONE POINT RIGHT NOW.
>> McCRAREY, THE NICKELBACK, JUST LOSING SIGHT OF WHERE THE BALL IS.
DON'T HAVE ANY FEEL.
COLIN FLETCHER STILL ALMOST CAME UP WITH THE BIG CATCH.
>> SO, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'LL SPOT THE BALL AT THE 48, JUST SHY OF THE 50.
THEIR FIELD GOAL KICKER JESUS GUTIERREZ, HIS RANGE IS ABOUT 40.
HE'S A FIRST-YEAR KICKER.
ELITE SOCCER PLAYER THEY HAVE ON FOOTBALL TEAM THIS YEAR.
THE PASS IS DROPPED.
WILKINS, THE INTENDED TARGET.
>> WILLIAM HAYWARD, YOU CAN START SEEING HIM.
HE'S TIRED OF SITTING BACK.
HE'S WALKING THE SAFETIES AND LINE BACKERS UP IN THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, AND THEY ARE COMING.
THEY'RE GOING TO FORCE CARTERSVILLE TO GET THIS BALL OUT.
AND THEY BELIEVE IN THEIR SECONDARY, THEY CAN BRING THESE GUYS DOWN IN A ONE ON ONE SITUATION.
>> OH, YEAH.
THEY HAVE ULTIMATE CONFIDENCE IN THE ONE ON ONE ABILITY TO COVER OUT ON THE EDGE.
>>> SECOND DOWN AND 10.
LOOK AT THE BLITZ COMING HERE.
PARKER BETTER HURRY.
NOT IN TIME.
BALL OUT AT THE 40 YARD LINE.
LET'S SEE WHO IS GOING TO HAVE IT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A RULE FORTUNATELY FOR CARTERSVILLE THAT HE WAS DOWN, BUT THE KITCHEN SINK WAS COMING, AND HE HAD NOWHERE TO GO WITH IT.
>> ONCE AGAIN, DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR WILLIAM HAYWARD AND HIS DEFENSE, THEY ARE WALKING UP AND THEY ARE STORMING THROUGH THIS OFFENSIVE LINE.
SIX-MAN PROTECTION, BUT I GOT SEVEN PEOPLE COMING.
AND IT'S JUST PRESSURE GALORE.
MALIK, TULLIS.
NOT ALLOWING HIM TO GET OFF.
>> A DEFENSE I.
TACKLE OFFERED BY GEORGIA STATE AND SYRACUSE, UMASS AS WELL.
AND AGAIN, THEY HAVE HAD LOADED UP THE BOX.
THEY ARE LOADING THE BOX AND GOING MAN COVERAGE.
>> THIRD AND 17.
YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO COME TO THE PARTY NOW.
>> AND THAT FORCED HIM INTO AN ILLEGAL PROCEDURE ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE, GETTING UP THERE AND SKUNKING IN THEIR FACES.
>> FALSE START, OFFENSE.
5 YARD PENALTY, STILL THIRD DOWN.
>> THAT'S A BAD FEELING AS A QUARTERBACK WHEN THEY GET THE OFFENSIVE LINE JITTERY UP THERE.
>> AND ONE THING IN CARTERSVILLE YOU HAVE IN YOUR TOOL BOX, YOU'RE A GREAT SCREEN TEAM.
YOU CATCH THIS DEFENSE IN ONE OF THESE ALL-OUT BLITZES AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THROW AND CATCH, ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAN GET A MIDDLE SCREEN RIGHT HERE WITH THE KIND OF PRESSURE, GOT A LOT OF DAYLIGHT TO RUN BEFORE YOU RUN INTO A SECONDARY NUMBER.
>> SO, THIRD AND 22 NOW.
CARTERSVILLE GOING IN REVERSE.
GOING UP TOP, GOING FOR THE HOME RUN AND FLETCHER IN CONTACT, AND IN AND OUT OF THE HANDS OF FLETCHERER.
AGAIN, A FLAG IS OUT.
VERY SIMILAR PLAY, AND I BELIEVE THE SAME PLAYER, TOO.
THAT WAS McCRAREY.
RICKY McCRAREY, WHO PROBABLY GOT A PIECE OF HIM AGAIN.
>> THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE GREAT FILM STUDY BY CARTERSVILLE.
THEY SEE A MATCH UP OUT ON THE EDGE.
THEY BELIEVE IN COLIN FLETCHER.
>> DEFENSE, 15-YARD PENALTY.
REMAINS THIRD DOWN.
>> AND RIGHT THERE JUST NEVERá-- SIMILAR TO THE LAST PASS INTERFERENCE, McCRAREY, RICKY McCRAREY, JUST NOT GETTING HIS HEAD AROUND AND FINDING THE BALL.
>> NOW, THIS IS NOT A FIRST DOWN, BUT IT IS A BIG MARKOFF.
SO NOW THIS GIVES THEM A VERY MANAGEABLE THIRD AND 8 TO GO HERE.
AND THE BALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 50 WITH UNDER TWO MINUTES TO GO NOW IN THE HALF.
AND NOW PARKER NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO OUTRUN THE DEFENSE, AND THERE'S BIG MALIK TULLIS AGAIN.
HE'S A FINE LOOKING PROSPECT, 6'2", 260 JUNIOR.
HIS RECRUITING JUST NOW GETTING STARTED.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE.
THEIR SPEED AND AGGRESSIVENESS, THEY JUST DON'T GIVE YOU TIME TO YOU HAVE TO GET THE BALL OUT OR THEY'RE GOING TO BRING YOU DOWN FOR A TACKLE FOR A LOSS.
NICE JOB THERE BY TULLIS.
>> A TIME-OUT HAS BEEN CALLED BY CREEKSIDE.
THAT GIVES US A CHANCE TO TOSS IT TO HANNAH GOODEN.
WHAT DO WE HAVE COMING UP AT HALFTIME?
>> THANKS, MATT.
LOVE A GOOD DEFENSIVE BATTLE.
COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES ON FOOTBALL FRIDAYS AT HALFTIME, WE WILL HAVE FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS, WE'LL NAME OUR GPB PLAYER, WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH WHO THAT WILL BE.
YOU'LL FIND OUT WHEN I FIND OUT VERY SOON.
WE WILL HEAR FROM THE BAND, CHECK IN WITH WILEY, THAT AND MUCH MORE IN A FEW MINUTES, GUYS.
>> WELL, IF IT MATTERS, I'M VOTING FOR DaQUAN WHITE RIGHT NOW.
68 YARD PICK SIX.
THAT'S TWO VOTES FOR DaQUAN.
WAYNE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> I THINK I'LL THROW IN THE THIRD ONE AND MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.
>> THERE WE GO.
WE HAVE A CONSENSUS HERE.
I SEE THAT CAMDEN HAS A 14-7 LEAD ON MAYOR ETTA RIGHT NOW.
HANNAH WILL BE UPDATING YOU ON ALL THE SCORES.
SCHULTZ WITH THE PUNT AGAIN.
AFTER THE DISASTROUS KICKOFF THE SIDE OF HIS FOOT, HAYES BEEN MONEY TONIGHT AS HE FLIPS THE FIELD AGAIN AND HE PINS CREEKSIDE AT THE 6 YARD LINE AFTER A 47-YARD PUNT.
>> AND I IMAGINE COACH DIXON FOR CREEKSIDE CALLED THAT TIME-OUT JUST TO TEST THE INCONSISTENCY OF THIS CANES PUNT GAME SO FAR.
MAYBE HE'LL GET ANOTHER SHANK IN GREAT FIELD POSITION.
THE KIND OF OFFENSE THEY RUN, YOU DON'T SEE THEM SETTING UP IN A TWO-MINUTE FORMATION COMING OFF OF THEIR FIVE YARD LINE.
I THINK THAT WAS ALL A FUNCTION OF THE INCONSISTENCY OF THE PUNT GAME SO FAR IN THE GAME.
HOPING THAT MAYBE HE WOULD GET A SHORTER FIELD.
>> YEAH, HE HAD THE ONE BAD KICK, A HARD KICKOFF THE SIDE OF HIS FOOT.
OTHER THAN HE'S BEEN 69, 54 AND 47.
NOTHING DOING RIGHT THERE.
THAT PLAY GOT BLOWN UP VERY QUICKLY ON THE HANDOFF TO KEMARI DAVIS.
>> ONCE AGAIN, BIG-TIME PRESSURE THERE, NUMBER 9.
COACH TALKED ABOUT AT TIMES, JUST UNBLOCKABLE.
MATCH UP PROBLEM, YOU CAN SEE THE GREAT SIZE HE HAS, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS DEFENSE.
6áFEET, ABOUT 250.
>> THEY CAN SLIDE HIM UP AND DOWN THAT DEFENSIVE LINE AND FIND A MISMATCH IF THEY LIKE RIGHT THERE.
LETT, HEAVY RUSH, GOING TO SET UP A SCREEN PASS.
IT'S INTERCEPTED!
AND DOES THE BALL GO OVER OR WAS HE OUT OF BOUNDS?
IT IS INTERCEPTED.
JALEN DENHAM WITH THE PICK ON THE LOB SCREEN PASS, AND CARTERSVILLE GIFTED THE BALL INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE.
>> CAN'T REALLY TELL WHERE DaQUAN LETT WAS GOING WITH THIS BALL.
LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE BALL OUT TO CAMERON.
HE WAS SETTING UP THE SCREEN.
>> HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> HE THREW IT OVER THE HEAD.
>> HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS WHEN HE CAUGHT THE BALL.
IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE.
>> VERY INTERESTING CALL THERE BY MAURICE DIXON.
>> LOOK AT THIS.
HE CATCHES THE BALL.
HIS FOOT IS OUT OF BOUNDS.
IS IT NOT?
>> RIGHT FOOT IS OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> AND THE HANDOFF GOES TO WHITE.
OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO REPLAY IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, WHICH IS A GREAT THING FOR CARTERSVILLE RIGHT THERE.
UNLESS THERE WAS A LITTLE HOP STEP, I WANT TO SEE IT ONE MORE TIME IF WE GET A CHANCE.
MAYBE THERE WAS A LITTLE HOP STEP AND THEN HE STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS.
LET'S SEE.
BUT MY FIRST REACTION WAS, HE'S OUT OF BOUNDS.
MY SECOND LOOK WAS MAYBE HE CAUGHT IT AND THEN THERE WAS A HOP STEP OUT OF BOUNDS.
AND WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT HERE AS THE TIME-OUT HAS BEEN CALLED WITH ABOUT HALF A MINUTE LEFT HERE IN THE FIRST HALF.
>> IT'S ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING, INTERESTING CALLS HERE, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, MATT.
RIGHT FOOT, JUST WATCH THAT RIGHT.
>> YES, HE'S GOTá-- WHEN HE GETS POSSESSION OF THE BALL, HIS FOOT IS OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> HIS FOOT IS OUT OF BOUNDS.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE LINE JUDGE RIGHT THEREá-- >> HE'S LOOKING AT THE BALL.
LOOK AT WHERE HIS EYES ARE DIRECTED.
HE'S LOOKING AT THE BALL.
HE'S NOT LOOKING AT THE FOOT.
AND THEY MISSED THAT ONE.
WE'LL SEE IF CARTERSVILLE CAN CAPITALIZE ON THAT.
THAT'S WHY I WAS HESITANT TO CALL AN INTERCEPTION IN LIVE TIME BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS AND REPLAY CONFIRMS THAT.
SO, SECOND DOWN AND GOAL FROM THE 5 YARD LINE.
>> PARKER, HEAVY RUSH.
GOT OUT OF THERE IN A HURRY.
HE WAS ABOUT TO GET LEVELED TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO OMARI WHITE BEHIND HIM.
HE HAD TO GET RID OF IT.
NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN AND GOAL.
>> ONCE AGAIN, VINSON HILL COMING OFF THE EDGE.
NO ONE TO BLOCK HIM.
FAST AND PHYSICAL IS WHAT THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES AT THE LINEBACKER POSITIONS BETWEEN HILL AND MILLER.
AND HERE AT CREEKá-- >> SO, WATCH HILL COMING OFF THE EDGE UNBLOCKED, AND PARKER GOT LEVELLED.
>> ONE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT WITH HILL POINTING LETTING HIM KNOW, I'M COMING.
I ALMOST GOT THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> HE SAID HE DIDN'T TRY TO PICK HIM UP AND SLAM HIM ONCE HE SAW, HE JUST KIND OF LET HIM GO.
AND IF YOU'RE CARTERSVILLE, WITH THE KIND OF PRESSURE THAT CREEKSIDE IS BRINGING, MIGHT HAVE TO START PULLING OUT JAKE PARKER TO ROLL OUT, GET AWAY FROM SOME OF THAT PRESSURE AND LET HIM THROW ON THE RUN.
>> TIME-OUT WAS CALLED BY CARTERSVILLE.
THAT LEAVES THEM WITH ONE, WHICH THEY NEED TO HOLD ONTO IN CASE THEY NEED TO GET THE FIELD GOAL UNIT OUT THERE TO KICK A FIELD GOAL.
BUT SAVING THAT TIME-OUT GIVES THEM THE OPTION.
THEY CAN RUN THE BALL HERE.
THEY CAN PASS THE BALL HERE.
BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE THAT TIME-OUT IN THEIR BACK POCKET AT THE 5 YARD LINE.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO THROW IT HERE.
>> JAKE PARKER, CAN'T LET THIS PRESSURE FRUSTRATE YOU.
YOU HAVE TO SET YOUR FEET WHEN CALLED UPON AND DELIVER THE BALL.
>> SO, THIRD DOWN, GOING TO RUN A QUICK PLAY HERE.
FLETCHER GOING TO THROW IT.
AND IT'S CAUGHT FOR A TOUCHDOWN!
AND IT IS JAKE PARKER, THE QUARTERBACK, WHO ENDS UP CATCHING THE BALL.
SOME TRICKERATION RIGHT THERE.
WHITE TO FLETCHER TO PARKER FOR 6.
>> LITTLE MOTION TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE.
FAKING THE REVERSE.
COLIN FLETCHER CAN'T GET THE BALL OUT ANY FASTER.
AND RIGHT THERE, VERY QUESTIONABLE AS THAT BALL HITS THE GROUND.
ON THAT RECEPTION BY JAKE PARKER.
BUT SIMILAR TO THE INTERCEPTION, THERE IS NO REPLAY.
THAT BALLá-- >> LET'S SEE THAT AGAIN.
>> NEVER HAD CONTROL OF IT.
>> PARKER'S STILL HOLDING ONTO THE FOOTBALL AS IF TO SAY, I CAUGHT IT, I'M NOT LETTING IT GO.
>> REVERSE PASS.
TRYING TO GET IT OUT TOá-- >> YEAH, THAT BALL IS ON THE GROUND.
>> THAT BALL IS ON THE GROUND THERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SEMINOLES WAVING IT OFF.
>> SO THEY TOOK THE POINTS OFF THE SCORE BOARD, SO SOMEWHERE IN THERE, DESPITE THE FACT THERE'S REPLAY, ANOTHER OFFICIAL OVERRULED THE CALL AND SAID, I SAW THE BALL HIT THE GROUND.
YOU SEE JAKE PARKER TRYING TO DEMONSTRATE TO HIS COACH RIGHT THERE THAT HE HAD IT WRAPPED UP, BUT HE DID NOT.
AND CONNER FOSTER IS UPSET BECAUSE THEY SIGNALLED TOUCHDOWN.
AND THEY EVEN WENT THROUGH WITH THE P.A.T.
SO NOW THIS WILL BE A FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT FROM THE RIGHT HASH AND A 22-YARD ATTEMPT BY GUTIERREZ.
ADAMS IS THE SNAPPER FLETCHER IS THE HOLDER AND THE KICK IS GOOD.
22-YARD KICK BY JESUS GUTIERREZ AND CARTERSVILLE GETS THREE POINTS OUT OF THAT.
AND THEY HAVE A 10-6 LEAD WITH UNDER 30 SECONDS TO PLAY.
IN THE HALF.
>> CAPITALIZING ON THE INTERCEPTION BY INTERIM, LITTLE TRICKERATION AT THE END TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO JAKE PARKER.
NICE BALL BY VINSON OF CREEKSIDE, STAYING HOME AND NOT LETTING COLIN FLETCHER GET OUT ON THE EDGE TO COMPLETE THAT PASS FULLY.
NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH THE CATCH.
BALL THROWN BEHIND HIM IS JAKE PARKER.
NOT A LOT OF EXCITEMENT IN THE FIRST 75% OF THE HALF, AND THEN WE'VE GOT A LOT OF EXCITEMENT THERE AT THE END BETWEEN THE INTERCEPTION, BETWEEN DaQUAN WHITE, AND THEN JALEN BATRAM.
HE'S CONVINCED HE CAUGHT THAT BALL.
>> I'M SURE HE IS.
THEN HE'LL GO BACK AND SEE THE REPLAY AND SEE THE NOSE OF THE FOOTBALL ON THE GROUND.
THAT WAS A ZERO YARD DRIVE AND THEY GOT THREE POINTS OUT OF IT.
SO, THE KICKOFF IS GOING TO BE TAKEN SHORT FIELD, AND THE BALL OUT, BUT I BELIEVE HE CALLED A FAIR CATCH AND GOT HIT.
DID HE NOT?
OR DID HE JUST CATCH IT AND GET HIT?
THAT WAS EDWARDS.
>>> SO HERE'S OF TOUCHDOWN CATCH.
FLETCHER THROWS IT.
IT TURNS OUT NOT TO BE A TOUCHDOWN CATCH.
YOU CAN SEE THE BALL HITS THE GROUND THERE.
HE DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OF IT TO THE GROUND.
KIND OF FLIPS OUT OF HIS HANDS, AND PARKER DOING HIS BEST TO SELL IT.
THE CONFUSION CAME IN WHICH THEY CALLED IT A TOUCHDOWN, AND ACTUALLY LINED UP FOR THE P.A.T.
BEFORE THEY OVERRULED IT.
BUT THEY DID GET THE CALL, RIGHT, AND THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.
AND SO NOW WITH 16 SECONDS TO PLAY IN THE HALF, CREEKSIDE, HANDS OFF TO BIRCH.
AND BIRCH ON WHAT WAS LIKELY THE FINAL PLAY OF THE FIRST HALF RUNS IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AS THE CLOCK TICKS DOWN.
AND THIS DEFENSIVE STRUGGLE COMES TO A CLOSE HERE IN THE FIRST HALF.
>>> SO A 10-6 LEAD FOR CARTERSVILLE.
CARTERSVILLE GOT A 15-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM PARKER TO RAY.
BUT ALL THE POINTS HAVE COME DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OFF OF TURNOVERS.
>> A TRUE DEFENSIVE BATTLE.
WE EXPECTED THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE TO BE ABLE TO HOLD IT DOWN, BUT CARTERSVILLE DEFENSE IS DEFINITELY STOOD TO THE CHALLENGE, NOT GIVING AN INCH TO CREEKSIDE.
ONLY THE INTERCEPTION BY WHITE PUTTING POINTS ON FOR THE SEMINOLES.
>> YEAH, THE CARTERSVILLE TOUCHDOWN CAME AFTER A FUMBLE BY LETT.
YOU HAVE THE PICK SIX AND FIELD GOAL BY CARTERSVILLE CAME AFTER THE INTERCEPTION BY BENHAM.
AND 10-6 AS CREEKSIDE MAKES THEIR WAY TO THE LOCKER ROOM IN THIS BATTLE OF UNBEATENS HERE IN 5A.
WE'RE WAITING ON CONOR FOSTER TO MAKE IT OVER TO WILEY BALLARD TO GIVE US SOMETHING.
AND HANNAH GOODEN READY TO GO WITH THE HALFTIME SHOW, UPDATE YOU WITH ALL THE SCORES AROUND THE STATE.
THOMASVILLE HAS A 7-3 LEAD ON BAINBRIDGE.
THAT'S A BIG BATTLE GOING ON IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
ROS WELL, A 28-10 LEAD AT THE HALF.
SO, A 10-6 LEAD FOR CARTERSVILLE, LOOKING TO IMPROVE TO 3-0 ON THE SEASON.
CREEKSIDE TRYING TO DOT SAME THING.
WILEY BALLARD STANDING BY WITH COACH FOSTER.
>> THANKS, MATT.
JOINED BY COAST HUNTER FOSTER.
COACH, TALK ABOUT YOUR DEFENSIVE EFFORT FIRST HALF.
COMBINED NINE FIRST DOWNS, TALK ABOUT YOUR DEFENSE.
>> BOTH DEFENSES PLAYED REALLY HARD.
COACH HAS DONE A GREAT JOB TEAMING IT UP.
OUR KIDS, I'M REALLY PROUD OF THEM.
>> YOU SAID IT'S A GREAT DEFENSE.
WHAT CAN YOU DO OFFENSIVELY IN THE SECOND HALF?
>> WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP GIVING DIFFERENT LOOKS, KEEP GIVING SOME DIFFERENT MOTIONS, HOPEFULLY CATCH A BREAK ON SOME OF THE PERIMETER STUFF.
THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB LOCKING US UP.
HOPEFULLY MAKE A BIG PLAY.
>> THANKS, COACH.
GOOD LUCK IN THE SECOND HALF.

>>> WELCOME BACK AT HALFTIME, CREEKSIDE VERSUS CARTERSVILLE, WYMAN STADIUM.
CREEKSIDE IS UP 10-6.
IF YOU WERE WITH US THE FIRST HALF, YOU KNOW THIS IS A TRUE DEFENSIVE BATTLE.
CREEKSIDE JUNIOR QUARTERBACK DaQUAN WHITE IS OUR GPB PLAYER OF THE FIRST HALF.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE HIGHLIGHTS.
JAKE PARKER WINDS UP AND IT WILL BE, NO.
THE PICK BY WHITE.
HE'LL GO 68 YARDS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.
HIS SECOND HUGE DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE SEASON.
5'11", 165.
HE'S A THREE-STAR WITH OVER 20 OFFERS ON THE BOARD.
HE'LL MISS THE P.A.T.
THAT CLOSES THE SEMINOLES IN THE GAME 7-6.
THE PURPLE HURRICANES WILL GO ON FOR A FIELD GOAL.
THAT'S HOW WE ARE AT THE SCORE OF 10-6.
>>> ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU GUYS WANT TO HEAR THE BANDS AND GET SOME "END GAME" ANALYSIS FROM WILEY BALLARD WHO HAS BEEN DOWN ON THE FIELD, THEN STAY WITH US.
THAT'S NEXT RIGHT HERE ON GPB.
>> BEING MINDFUL IS BEING AWARE OF YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR BODILY SENSATIONS AND YOUR SURROUNDINGS.
AND THEN RESILIENCE IS REALLY JUST YOUR ABILITY TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER SOMETHING CHALLENGING.
AND THESE TWO CONCEPTS, MINDFULNESS AND RESILIENCE ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER.
SO, IF YOU HAVE HIGH MINDFULNESS, IT BOOSTS YOUR RESILIENCE, AND IF YOU HAVE HIGH RESILIENCE, ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE HIGHER SATISFACTION AND GREAT MENTAL HEALTH.
>> GOOD TO KNOW.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AND BUILD RESILIENCE?
>> MINDFULNESS CAN IMPACT YOUR DAILY LIFE.
YOU CAN ENCOUNTER THE NEED FOR IT ON A DAILY BASIS.
RESILIENCE STUDY FOUND CLOSE TO 60% OF CHILDREN AND TEENS ACROSS THE ATLANTA AREA COULD ACTUALLY BENEFIT FROM HIGHER RESILIENCE.
AND WE HAD SIMILAR FINDINGS FOR LOCAL PARENTS AS WELL.
AFTER A YEAR LIKE LAST YEAR, WE CAN ALL BENEFIT FROM, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY TO REALLY REGULATE OUR EMOTIONS AND NAVIGATE DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS PRACTICES?
>> THERE ARE SO MANY BENEFITS.
EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE.
PEOPLE CAN EXPERIENCE SO MANY THINGS, FROM HEIGHTENED SATISFACTION IN THEIR WORK AND LIFE, HAPPINESS, IMPROVED CONCENTRATION AND CREATIVITY.
AS WELL AS DECREASED STRESS, DECREASED DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AS WELL AS DECREASED CHRONIC PAIN.
LOTS OF BENEFITS.
>> AND FINALLY, WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF WAYS TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AND BUILD RESILIENCE?
>> THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AND BOOST YOUR RESILIENCE.
I THINK THERE'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT IN ORDER TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHANNEL THEIR INNER HIPPIE.
MINDFULNESS I LIKE TO THINK OF AS FOR EVERYONE.
YOU JUST NEED TO FIND WHAT THAT SPECIAL ACTIVITY IS FOR YOU THAT HELPS YOU FEEL GROUNDED AND DISCONNECT FROM STRESS.
SO MAYBE IT'S MEDITATION, BUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS GOING FOR A WALK, OR READING A BOOK.
YOU KNOW, JUST FIND TIME IN YOUR DAY WHERE YOU CAN TAKE A COUPLE QUIET MINUTES FOR YOUR SELF AND DO WHATEVER ACTIVITY HELPS GROUND YOU AND RETURN TO THE STRESSORS OF YOUR DAY AND BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THEM BETTER.
AND MAKE SURE YOU REALLY SAVOR THAT TIME.
MAKE SURE YOU USE ALL YOUR FIVE SENSES SO YOU'RE MAKING THE MOST OF IT.
>> SUSIE, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
AND THOSE OF YOU WATCHING, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT RESILIENCE AND MINDFULNESS, PLEASE GO TO CIGNA.COM.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
>>> WELCOME TO THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY SHOW WITH REGENTS BANK AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS BACK?
THE CARTERSVILLE MARCHING BAND IS STANDING BY.
LET'S LISTEN IN.
♪♪ >>> GREAT PERFORMANCE BY THE CARTERSVILLE MARCHING BAND.
AND NOW, FILLING IN FOR JON NELSON IS WILEY, AND I DON'T THINK THAT YOU IS HAD QUITE 25 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS, RIGHT?
>> NOT QUITE, BUT A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO JON NELSON AND SO HAPPY FOR HIS AWARD TONIGHT, AND SO HAPPY TO SLIP INTO HIS SHOES TONIGHT.
AND THIS GAME BETWEEN CARTERSVILLE AND CREEKSIDE IS WHO IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE BALL TONIGHT.
WE HAVE HAD A COMBINED NINE FIRST DOWNS FOR THE TEAM.
CARTERSVILLE HAD THE PUNT AND THE INTERCEPTION IN THE FINAL 30 SECONDS TO ADD THE FIELD GOAL, AND CREEKSIDE WITH THEIR ONLY POINTS HAVE BROUGHT A PICK SIX, SO THE STORIED PROGRAMS OVER THE RECENT HISTORY HAS BEEN THE DEFENSIVE PLAY, AND THEY HAVE HAD BEEN LED BY THE KEY NIGHT IS THE WAY THEY HAVE HAD TO HANDLE THE DEFENSE OF CREEKSIDE AND THEY HAVE TO GET OUT ON THE PERIMETER, AND THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE BIG PLAY TO RELY ON THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
>> WE WILL LET YOU GO AND HUNT DOWN MAURICE DIXON AND LOOK FOR THE COACH'S INTERVIEW, AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY AND THE HALFTIME SHOW HERE ON REGENTS, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF CONTENT FOR THE GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE GOING ON.
ALL RIGHT.
STAY FOR MORE FROM CREEKSIDE AND CARTERSVILLE, AND THE PURPLE HURRICANES ARE UP 10-6, AND MORE FROM MATT AND WAYNE FROM THE STADIUM ON GPB.
>> WELCOME BACK TO THE STADIUM HERE IN HALFTIME.
AND THE SCORE IS 10-6, CARTERSVILLE OVER CREEKSIDE.
NOW I WANT TO START WITH THE DEFENSE, COACH MAURICE DIXON.
NOT ONLY DID THEY ALLOW THREE SACKS, BUT THEY PUT POINTS UP ON THE BOARD, AND HOW SATISFIED ARE YOU?
>> I AM TREMENDOUSLY SATISFIED.
WE ARE OUT HERE PLAYING HARD AND PLAYING MISTAKE-FREE FOOTBALL AND A COUPLE OF MISTAKES, BUT THEY ARE PLAYING HARD.
I AM PROUD OF THEM.
>> TELL ME ABOUT THE OFFENSE, AND I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE TO MOVE THE BALL, BUT WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
>> WELL, THE JITTERS OUT OF THEM.
IT IS THE LIGHTS THAT GOT TO THEM.
WE WANT TO SETTLE THEM DOWN, AND COME OUT TO PLAY CREEKSIDE FOOTBALL.
>> BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, COACH, IN THE SECOND HALF.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> WE HAVE A GREAT SECOND HALF COMING UP.
CARTERSVILLE IS UP BY FOUR, BUT CREEKSIDE GETS BALL.
>> THANK YOU, WILEY AND MATT STEWART AND WAYNE GANDY BACK UP HERE IN STUDIO WITH YOU.
INTERESTING FIRST HALF, AND I THINK THAT THE NEXT BIG PLAY OR THE NEXT BIG PLAY MIGHT WIN THE GAME.
>> NEITHER TEAM IS ABLE TO ESTABLISH ANYTHING IN THE PASSING GAME DOWN ON THE FIELD, AND RIGHT NOW, IT IS ONE OF THE GAMES THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES YOU, AND THE OFFENSE HAS TO PLAY WITH ENERGY, AND THEY ARE NOT PLAYING WITH ANY ENERGY ON EITHER TEAM.
>> AND TALK ABOUT THE BIG PLAYS AND LOOKING BACK AT THE FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS AND THE BIG PLAYS LED THE POINTS STARTING WITH THE FUMBLE BY LETT THAT GAVE THEM THE SHORT FIELD.
>> AND MYLES FORRISTALL COMING UP WITH THE SHORT FIELD TO SET UP THE OFFENSE, AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING GOING AT THIS POINT, AND THE BIG PASS HERE FROM PARKER TO JACOB RAY TO GET THE TOUCHDOWN.
>> 15-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS IS THE ONLY OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN OF THE FIRST HALF AND THEN COMES THE BIG PLAY BY THE CREEKSIDE DEFENSE, AND DAIQUAN WHITE IS JUMPING THE ROUTE AND GOING 68 YARDS.
>> IF YOU GOING TO BE TALENT WILLED, MIGHT AS WELL BE TALENTED IN A BIG WAY.
DAIQUAN WHITE READING THE QUARTERBACK'S EYES AND JUMPING THE ROUTE AND GETTING THE PICK SIX AND THE P.A.T.
>> AND THEN THAT LED TO A FIELD GOAL BEFORE THE HALF, AND 10-6 LEAD.
SO LOOKING AT THE TOTAL YARDS AND NEITHER TEAM HAS CRACKED 80 YET.
>> LOOKING AS WELL AT THE BOTTOM, AND THE PLAYS AT SIX YARDS IS ONLY THREE FOR CARTERSVILLE AND FIVE FOR CREEKSIDE AND MOST OF THEM BY CAMERON BURCH.
THINKING ABOUT IT, THE DEFENSIVE BATTLE, AND GOOD OLD-FASHIONED DEFENSIVE GAME.
>> IT HAS INDEED, AND THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED DEFENSIVE JOB, AND SO HAS CARTERSVILLE, AND TALKING ABOUT THE CREEKSIDE DEFENSE, AND THAT I HAVE MORE BIG PLAYS THAN THE CARTERSVILLE DEFENSE, AND CARTERSVILLE HAS YET TO GIVE UP ANY POINTS IN THE GAME.
>> AND PLAYING SOFT COVERAGE, AND PUT A LOT OF EFFORT GIVING UP THE SIZE, BUT THEY ARE GETTING OFF OF THE BLOCKS, AND WHEN IT IS COUNTED ON THEM ON THE FOURTH DOWN SITUATIONS, THEY COME UP BIG.
>> CAN CREEKSIDE RUN THE BALL TO VICTORY IN THE GAME, BECAUSE THAT IS PRETTY MUCH ALL THEY HAVE DONE SO FAR IN GAME FROM THE OFFENSIVE STANDPOINT IS HAND THE BALL OFF TO DAVIS AND BURCH AND OCCASIONALLY THROW THE BALL TO BURCH.
>> THEY IS TO BE PATIENT.
COACH DIXON TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE WEEK ABOUT TAKING WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES YOU, AND SOMETIMES YOU WANT THE BIG PLAY TO COME UP, AND YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE THE FOUR OR FIVE-YARD RUNS THAT YOU HAD A LOT IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
>> CREEKSIDE WILL GET THE BALL IN THIRD QUARTER AND A QUICK EARLY LOOK AT ANY OF THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT THE SEMINOLES MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE AT HALFTIME, AND A HECK OF A BALL GAME HERE TO KICK OFF OUR 2021 FOOTBALL GEORGIA SCHEDULE AND A OLD SLOBBER KNOCKER 10-6 WITH CARTERSVILLE WITH THE KICKOFF, AND THIS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA, AND SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES.
HERE WE GO.
START OF THE THIRD QUARTER.
JESUS GUTIERREZ HAS IT TEED UP AND READY TO GO.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HERE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE DANGEROUS MAN BACK THERE IN THE KICK RETURN GAME IN DAINSUS MILLER.
TREY EDWARDS AND DAIQUAN WHITE, AND LET'S SEE WHO IS GOING TO TAKE IT.
IT IS FUMBLED BY EDWARDS AS HE SLIPPED TRYING TO MAKE A CUT.
CARTERSVILLE TAKES OVER.
RECOVERED BY JAKE BRASFIELD, THE LINEBACKER IS PLAYING KICKOFF COVERAGE, AND THAT IS AN UNFORCED ERROR.
EDWARDS JUST COUGHED IT UP.
>> AND EDWARDS THE SENIOR, AND MR.
CONSISTENCY RIGHT HERE.
NICE JOB OF FIELDING THE BALL, AND RIGHT THERE CLIPPING HIM, BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT THE BALL IN HIGH SCHOOL IF THAT BALL HITS GROUND AS HE WENT DOWN, IS THE ELBOW HITTING THE GROUND THERE?
RIGHT THERE YOU CAN'T TELL FROM THE ANGLE, BUT A BAD BREAK FOR THE CREEKSIDE SPECIAL TEAMS.
GREAT FIELD POSITION FOR CARTERSVILLE ONCE AGAIN TO CAPITALIZE.
>> WE WILL SEE IF THE HURRICANES TAKE AN IMMEDIATE SHOT, AND INSTEAD, THEY HAND OFF TO AMARI WHITE, A NOTHING DOING THERE.
AND THE LINEBACKER KACEY BOLTON, AND ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE HATS ON THE BALL EVERY TIME THAT IT IS HANDED OFF.
>> AND CARTERSVILLE, YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT, AND WE TALKED ABOUT JAKE PARKER EARLIER PULLING THAT BALL, AND AS THIS DEFENSE CONTINUES TO GET AGGRESSIVE.
CREEKSIDE MAY HAVE TO PULL AND GET OUT ON THE EDGE, AND RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE NOT HAVING A LOT OF SUCCESS.
>> SECOND DOWN AND EIGHT.
AND WE'VE GOT MOVEMENT.
>> FALSE START, AND FROM THE OFFENSE, AND FIVE-YARD PENALTY, STILL SECOND DOWN.
>> A LOT THIS, MATT, YOU CAN TELL IT IS THE MAGNITUDE OF THE GAME, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN GAME ONE, AND IF THESE GAMES WERE HAPPENING IN GAME ONE, YOU WOULD EXPECT IT, BUT WE ARE GETTING TO THE POINT THAT IT IS YOUR IDENTITY IN FRONT OF YOU, AND BOTH OF THE TEAMS ARE HAVING BIG MISCUES AT BAD TIMES.
>> WELL, YOU HEARD COACH DIXON TALK ABOUT IT WITH WILEY, AND THE GAME IS ON TELEVISION, AND FELT LIKE THAT IMPACTED HIS OFFENSE IN THE FIRST HALF.
THEY HAD THE JITTERS.
SO SECOND DOWN AND 12.
OUT OF THE SHOTGUN, GOING FOR THE CORNER.
JUMP BALL AND BROKEN UP BY DAINSUS MILLER.
WILKINS IS DOWN.
WILKINS WAS WAITING FOR THE BALL TO COME DOWN, AND DAINSUS MILLER MADE SURE THAT HE DIDN'T CATCH THE BALL.
LOOKS LIKE HE CAME DOWN HARD ON THE BACK SIDE THERE.
>> DAINSUS MILLER AND WE TALKED ABOUT DAIQUAN WHITE, AND MILL MILLER IS A TOP CORNER IN HIS OWN RIGHT, AND GREAT ATHLETE.
>> WATCH THE RECOVERY TIME BY MILLER, AND HE IS OUT OF THE PLAY, AND HE MAKES UP THE PLAY, AND AS SOON AS THE BALL GETS THERE, HE IS MAKING CONTACT AND NOT BEFORE THE BALL, BUT WHEN THE BALL GOT THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WILKINS DID NOT CATCH IT.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT.
A LOT OF SPACE AND GROUND THE MAKE UP TO GET BACK INTO THE PLAY.
AND THE BETTER PART OF THAT WAS THE TIMING TO GET THERE EXACTLY WHEN HE NEEDED TO GET THERE, AND MAYBE SOME OF THE TRIPLE JUMP CAME UP, BUT NOT GOOD TO SEE BEING DOWN A LONG TIME OVER THERE.
>> YOU CAN SEE AND WATCH THE SEPARATION HERE, AND MILLER IS GOING TO MAKE UP A GOOD FOUR OR FIVE YARDS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIR, AND FLETCHER BEING HELPED OR PARDON ME, WILKINS IS BEING HELPED ALL OF THE FIELD THERE, AND MILLER IS 24/7 SPORTS COMPOSITE AND THREE-STAR STARTER, AND OFFERS FROM GEORGIA, GEORGIA TECH, OKLAHOMA AND ALL OF THE BIG GUYS ARE OFFERING DAINSUS MILLER, AND YOU MENTIONED IT, 5-A TRIPLE JUMP AND HURDLES CHAMPION.
HE IS A SPECTACULAR ATHLETE.
AS COACH DIXON SAYS, THE PHYSICAL ABILITY POPS OFF OF THE SCREEN, AND HOPEFULLY BRYNEN WILKINS CAN MAKE IT BACK OFF OF THE FIELD WITH A SLOW TAKEOFF.
>> SO THIRD DOWN AND 12 COMING UP.
GOING BACK AND THE SCREEN PASS IS BOBBLED IN THE AIR.
INCOMPLETE TRYING TO RUN THAT SCREEN TO JAMARI BRYCE WHO HAD A BIG 15-YARD CATCH EARLIER IN THE GAME, AND IT IS GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN, AND LET'S SEE IF THEY TRY A FIELD GOAL HERE, AND THIS IS ABOUT 37 YARDS.
>> A LITTLE MISDIRECTION, AND ROLL RIGHT, AND TRYING TO GET UNDERNEATH THE BLOCKERS AND THE LEFT GUARD AND THE LEFT TACKLE, AND CLINE AND AIKENS TRYING TO GET OUT THERE ON THE EDGE, AND GETTING OUT THERE, AND NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH THE CATCH, AND THE SPEED OF THE CREEKSIDE CATCH OUT THERE, AND EVEN IF HE CAUGHT THE BALL ONLY A COUPLE OF YARDS FOR BRYCE.
>> THE FLAG WAS OUT AS THE KICK WAS ON THE WAY.
CAME UP SHORT.
>> Referee: ON THE DEFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY, FOURTH DOWN.
>> THAT IS FOURTH AND 7 INSTEAD OF FOURTH A 12, SO I AM GUESSING THEY WILL KEEP THE FIELD GOAL UNIT OUT THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT SHORTER KICK RIGHT HERE COMING FROM THE LEFT HASH.
SO FOR A RIGHT-FOOTED KICKER, THIS IS PERFECT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A 32-YARD KICK.
>> AND WELL WITHIN GUTIERREZ' RANGE OF 40, 45 YARDS.
>> THE KICK IS GOING TO BE OFF OF THE MARK.
AND SO CARTERSVILLE AFTER GETTING THE OPENING KICKOFF FUMBLE CAN'T CASH IN, AND THE SCORE REMAINS 10-6.
>>> CIGNA IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF PUBLIC BROADCASTING AND FOOTBALL FRIDAY.
>>> NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU CAN STREAM THE KEN BURNS' PASSPORT OF A NATION AT WAR, AND TO THE FAVORITE PASTIME AND TO THE NATIONAL TREASURES AND MORE THAN TWO DOZEN FILMS, THE KEN BURNS' COLLECTION.
♪♪ >> 10-6, CARTERSVILLE LEADING CREEKSIDE AS THE SEMINOLES ARE GOING ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.
SO PLAY ALONG WITH US HERE, AND THIS IS ALL GOOD NATURED FUN, BUT CONOR FOSTER THE THREE YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING CARTERSVILLE, AND IS HE NOT SEPARATED AT BIRTH FROM ACTOR JACK McBRAY, AND YOU MIGHT KNOW HIM AS KENNETH FROM "30 ROCK."
THEY LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE, AT LEAST I THINK SO.
>> THIS IS BEFORE THE GAME AND AFTER THE GAME PHOTO.
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT IS THE KIND OF THE STRESS THESE KIND OF GAMES PUT ON THE HEAD COACH.
>> THE SEMINOLES ON OFFENSE FROM THE 20 YARD LINE.
AND RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.
THAT'S MORROW, KHARY MORROW WITH THE CARRY.
>> THEY ARE PLAYING SOFT, AND SO THEY HAVE TO GET BETWEEN THE TACKLES AND RUN THE BALL AND BE PATIENT.
>> MORROW WITH ANOTHER STRONG RUN, THERE AND THIS IS TWO HARD RUNS BY KHARY MORROW COMING IN OFF OF THE BENCH, AND GETTING A COUPLE OF CARRIES.
LOOKING GOOD THERE.
>> AND THE THING ABOUT MORROW AND THE FIRST TWO CARRIES, HE IS GOING FORWARD AND NO CUT, AND NOT LOOKING FOR A LANE, HE IS JUST BLASTING THROUGH THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
>> THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE RUN BY MORROW, AND THIS TIME THE PENETRATION BY CASE ADAMS THE SAFETY TO TRIP UP THE MOMENTUM A LITTLE BIT.
>> TURNOVERS AND MISCUES HAVE GOTTEN THEM OFF COURSE TONIGHT FOR CREEKSIDE.
YOU HAVE TO STAY WITH WHAT GETS YOU HOME AND GETS THE WIN.
MAURICE DIXON, THE HEAD COACH AND OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR IS TRYING TO GET THEM BEHIND THE LINE.
>> THE CARRY, AND NOT GOING TO THE EDGE, AND THERE IS MYLES FORRISTALL AGAIN COMING UP WITH A BIG PLAY ON DEFENSE TO KEEP HIM FROM TURNING THE CORNER.
FOURTH DOWN.
>> NICE READ THERE FROM FORRISTALL, AND HE IS NOT FOOLED AT ALL.
ONE THING AS YOU CAN SEE DAIQUAN RUN THESE RPOs, HE HAS TO CARRY OUT THE FAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THE BALL RIGHT THERE, AND IT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE MOVEMENT, AND FORRISTALL WAS READY, AND HE COULD SEE THE DIFFERENT BODY LANGUAGE THAT HE WAS TAKING THE BALL WITH HIM, AND NICE TACKLE IN OPEN FIELD.
>> SO NOW, LETT IS STANDING AT THE 26 AND TO PUNT HERE, AND LINE DRIVE KICK FOR COLLIN FLETCHER BACK THERE DEEP TO TAKE IT ON THE HOP.
ACTUALLY, IT MUST HAVE HIT THE OUT OF BOUNDS SIDELINE THERE.
LET'S SEE, THAT IS WHERE CARTERSVILLE IS GOING TO TAKE OVER AFTER A 42 H YARD KICK BY LETT.
>> PICKING UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF IN FIRST HALF.
IT IS A DEFENSIVE BATTLE, AND STARTING TO LOOK LIKE ONE OF THOSE GAMES OF FIELD POSITION, AND WHICH DEFENSE CAN SET THEIR OFFENSE ON THE SHORT FIELD.
CARTERSVILLE LAST TIME OUT, THEY COULD NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TURNOVER, AND THEY FIND THEMSELVES THE MISSING THE FIELD GOAL.
>> AND WAYNE, I THINK THAT IF YOU ARE CONOR FOSTER, YOU ARE CONCERNED THAT YOU HAVE NOT CASHED IN AND GOTTEN MORE POINTS OUT OF THE CREEKSIDE MISTAKES.
CREEKSIDE HAS PUT YOU IN GOOD SPOTS, BUT YOU ONLY 10 POINTS.
FIRST AND TEN FOR CARTERSVILLE AT THE 21 YARD LINE.
QUICK FIRE.
ABOUT A 5, 6-YARD GAIN THERE ON THE PASS/CATCH BY COLLIN FLETCHER.
I BELIEVE THAT IS THE THIRD CATCH OF THE NIGHT.
>> AS A RECEIVING CORPS, YOUR EYES HAVE TO BE ON FIRE AND UNDERSTAND THERE IS NOBODY BACK THERE.
IF I CAN GET THIS BALL AND BREAK A TACKLE, THERE IS NOBODY ON THE BACK END AND SINGLE HIGH SAFETY AND MAN-TO-MAN OUT THERE ON THE EDGES.
YOU HAVE TO START PLAYING WITH THAT ENERGY.
IF I CAN GET THIS ONE DEFENDER OFF OF ME, I HAVE A LOT OF GREEN GRASS.
>> GAMBLE IS BACK IN THERE AT QUARTERBACK, AND THE PLAY IS BLOWN DEAD.
>> Referee: FALSE START, OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY, STILL SECOND DOWN.
>> SEEMS IS LIKE EVERY TIME THAT CARTERSVILLE GETS A POSITIVE, IT IS FOLLOWED BY A NEGATIVE.
>> THIS IS WHY WE SHOWED THAT BEFORE GAME PICTURE OF COACH FOSTER AND THE AFTER GAME, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT MAKES YOU GRAY AND GROW YOUR BEARD OUT AND JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS BECAUSE OF THOSE INCONSISTENT MOMENTS.
FIVE PENALTIES NOW FOR BOTH TEAMS TONIGHT, AND CREEKSIDE IS 5 FOR 50 AND CARTERSVILLE IS NOW 5 FOR 25.
>> NOT AS MUCH SHIFTING AND MOTIONS AS WE THOUGHT THAT CARTERSVILLE WOULD SHOW.
>> THAT IS FLETCHER AGAIN.
FLETCHER DOES NOT GET TO THE FIRST DOWN MARKER HOWEVER, AND THIS IS B.J.
COWERT, THE ROVER WHO CAME UP TO HIT HIM FIRST.
>> GOOD PROTECTION UP FRONT, AND NICE PLAY ACTION PLAY.
AS WE TALKED ABOUT AGAINST THIS AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE READ, AND DELIVER THE BALL, AND YOU DON'T GET TO RESET IF YOU ARE JAKE PARKER.
NICE JOB THERE IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU WANT THE THROW, AND GET THE BALL OVER THE DEFENSIVE END'S HANDS AND MAKE THAT COMPLETION.
>> THIRD DOWN AND TWO.
FUMBLED AND RECOVERED, AND LIKE I SAID A FEW MOMENTS AGO, A POSITIVE FOLLOWED BY A NEGATIVE.
NOW THEY WILL HAVE TO PUNT AGAIN.
>> AS I TALKED ABOUT COMING INTO THE SECOND HALF, JUST, IT IS JUST TWO DIFFERENT ENERGIES WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE GAME FROM BOTH TEAMS.
THEY ARE PLAYING FROM A ENERGY THAT IS NOT OFFENSIVELY MATCHED YET.
MISCUES, JITTERS OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO PUT IT UNDER, NEITHER OFFENSE SEEMS TO HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE THEY CAN MOVE THE BALL.
>> ON THE PUNT AGAIN, AND THAT IS WHERE CREEKSIDE IS GOING TO HAVE THE BALL.
>>> WE ARE OFFERING SOLUTIONS TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPORTING LOCAL INITIATIVES AND HELPING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS THRIVE.
REGENTS IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING IN BUILDING A BETTER GEORGIA.
>>> SWEETHEART, DON'T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT.
>> I GOT IT, MOM.
>>> IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, SO MANY TOMORROWS CAN DISAPPEAR.
BUCKLE UP FOR YOUR FUTURE, EVERY TIME.
A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.

NYQUA LETT HAD TO LEARN QUICK, BECAUSE HE HAD TRANSFERRED IN AFTER THE PANDEMIC, AND THE SECOND STRING QUARTERBACK THROUGH SHEER WORK ETHIC, HE HAD PROPELLED HIMSELF ATOP THE DEPTH CHART, AND COACH DIXON THINKS THAT HE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYERS.
>> HE IS GETTING LOOKS FROM SOUTH ALABAMA AND ALCORN STATE, AND ALABAMA AT&T, AND NOW, GOING RIGHT BACK TO THE GROUND AS BURCH GETS CARRY.
>> NICE ACTION THERE FROM TERIUS STEPHENS, AND THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT YOU TO MAKE THE MONEY AND GET BACK IN RUNNING THE BALL, AND TAKING YOUR TIME AND BEING PATIENT.
>> BURCH, AND NOTHING DOING AGAINST THAT DEFENSE.
AGAIN, FORRISTALL IS LEADING THE CHARGE FOR THE HURRICANES ALONG WITH BRASFIELD.
BRASFIELD IS AN INTERESTING STORY.
HE DID NOT PLAY ON THE STATE FINALS TEAM A YEAR AGO.
HE STEPPED ASIDE AND SAID THAT HE WOULD JUST PLAY BASEBALL AND HE REGRETTED THE DECISION.
HE CAME BACK TO THE COACH, AND SAID, I WANT TOM COME BACK IF YOU WILL LET ME, AND THE COACH SAID THAT HE APPRECIATED THE HUMILITY, AND BRASFIELD IS BACK ON THE TEAM, AND HE STARTED AT THE INSIDE LINEBACKER SPOT.
>> THAT IS THE MOST SURPRISING PART OF THAT STORY, THAT HE IS A MIDDLE LINEBACKER, AND TOOK A YEAR OFF, AND THAT ATTITUDE IS SOMETHING THAT HE COULD NOT FIGHT.
WHAT A FAST AND PHYSICAL PLAYER HE IS.
>> LETT IS TRYING TO GET TO THE FIRST DOWN, AND HE WILL GET THERE.
LETT OUTRUNS THE DEFENSE TO THE STICKS, AND FIRST DOWN FOR CREEKSIDE, AND FIRST DOWN PICKUP.
>> PULLING THE BALL, AND LIT COUNTER ACTION AND ROLLING OUT, AND KEEPING HIS HEAD UP TO KEEP THE DEFENSE BACK, AND THREATENING TO THROW THE BALL, AND FINALLY OUT ON THE EDGE.
6'2" AND 190, AND HE HAS SOME WHEELS.
AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE OPEN, HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT ONCE HE IS ENGAGED, HE IS DANGEROUS.
>> FIRST AND TEN, AND BRASFIELD, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HIM, HE WRAPS UP KAMAURI DAVIS, AND HE DOES NOT LET HIM GET MORE THAN A COUPLE OF YARDS.
>> AND DURING THE TACKLES ONCE AGAIN DOWNHILL, AND RUNNING INTO HIS BIG LINEMEN BRIAN WILLIAMS AND NOT ABLE TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE.
BRASFIELD IS GETTING OFF OF THE BLOCK, AND 190 INSIDE OF THE HUGE OFFENSIVE LINE, AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE HURRICANE DEFENSE, THEY PLAY WITH A LOT OF PASSION, AND FOR THEIR TEAMMATES.
>> STONEWALLED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
NOTHING DOING RIGHT THERE.
>> NUMBER 63, JADEN CURTON GETTING OFF OF THE BLOCK, AND STANDING UP TEAR YON AT THE CENTER, AND THAT IS NICE.
IF YOU WANT A RUN GAME, YOU HAVE TO GET PENETRATION UP FRONT.
>> HE HAS THE POLAMALU HAIR.
I SCREWED UP THAT NAME, BUT YOU GET IT.
AND HAS A MAN OUT THERE WITH A JUMP BALL AND BROKEN UP TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO TREY EDWARDS.
BROKEN UP BY BRAYLON INMAN, AND IT IS BROKEN UP.
>> THIS SECONDARY IS NOT GOING TO LET CREEKSIDE SECONDARY BEHINDLON INMAN IS NOT FOOLED.
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTACT BEFORE THE BALL GOT THERE.
>> YES, THERE WAS.
>> BY 21, AND SIMILAR TO THE FIRST HALF WHEN WE SAW THEM LOSING THE BALL AND NOT GETTING THE BALL AROUND.
>> LETT IS GOING TO PUNT.
FAIR CATCH IS CALLED FOR AND MADE AT THE 22 YARD LINE BY FLETCHER.
34-YARD KICK BY LETT.
THE CANES ARE GOING TO GO BACK ON OFFENSE WITH 2:43.
THE PLAY HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER IS SCORELESS THIRD QUARTER.

>> IF YOU ARE CARTERSVILLE, YOU HAVE TO HELP THE DEFENSE OUT.
YOU HAVE TO PUT A COUPLE OF FIRST DOWNS, AND LET THEM CATCH THEIR WIND, AND CHANGE THE FIELD POSITION.
>> AND PARKER THROWS THE BALL INTO THE GROUND.
THE FLAG IS OUT, BUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INTENTIONAL GROUNDING RIGHT THERE.
>> TRYING TO GET THE SCREEN GOING TO JACOB RAY.
SNIFFING IT OUT FROM THE BEGINNING WAS THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE, AND I THINK THAT THEY MIGHT JUST HAVE A HOLDING.
>> I THINK THAT MAYBE THEY HAD THE CHOICE OF PENALTIES RIGHT HERE.
WOW, HOLDING ON THE DEFENSE.
I WONDER ABOUT THE INTENTIONAL GROUNDING CALL.
THEY DID NOT THROW A FLAG ON THAT.
>> Referee: HOLDING, DEFENSE, AND 10 YARDS FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT, FIRST DOWN.
>> YOU COULD SEE JACOB RAY, THE RECEIVER TRYING TO SNEAK OUT TO SET UP THE SCREEN, AND CREEKSIDE JUST GRABBING HIM AND THROWING HIM TO THE GROUND THAT IS WHAT THE LINE JUDGE SAW.
IF YOU ARE CARTERSVILLE, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE FIELD POSITION TO GIVE YOUR DEFENSE A CHANCE.
>> HANDOFF GOES TO AMARI WHITE, AND HE IS DANCING IN THE HOLE TO PICK UP FOUR OR FIVE YARDS.
WHEN I SAID INTENTIONAL GROUNDING, I DID NOT SEE IF THERE WAS A RUNNING BACK IN THE PILE.
>> YES, YES.
>> ALL I COULD SEE WAS A BUNCH OF OFFENSIVE LINEMEN.
AND SO PAUL GAMBLE, THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK IN THERE FOR THE CARTERSVILLE TEAM AT SECOND DOWN AND FIVE.
HE IS GOING TO RUN IT, AND HE IS NOT GOING TO GET BY COWERT.
THE FLAG COMES OUT.
WE WILL CHECK THAT PENALTY.
>> NICE JOB BY BOTH DEFENSES, AND ESPECIALLY ON THE CREEKSIDE READING THE KEYS AND STAYING AT HOME.
REGARDLESS OF WHO IS AT HOME, THE DEFENSIVE END, AND GREAT OPEN FIELD TACKLE AND VERY ATHLETIC RUNNER GAMBLE.
>> SO NOW HOLDING, BUT GOING THE OTHER WAY NOW.
I THINK THAT ONE THING THAT -- >> Referee: HOLDING, OFFENSE.
FROM THE END OF THE RUN, SECOND DOWN.
>> ONE THING THAT WE CAN SAY ABOUT BOTH OF THE DEFENSES, I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING MANY IF AT ALL ANY MISSED TACKLES TONIGHT.
>> GREAT TACKLING IS HOW YOU START THE DEFENSE WITH AGGRESSIVENESS AND BEING ABLE TO TACKLE, AND READING THE ASSIGNMENTS, AND THEY ARE IN A GROOVE RIGHT NOW ON BOTH SIDES.
WHAT AN ADVANTAGE THAT CREEKSIDE HAS.
THEY ARE JUST MANNED UP, AND GET A NUMBER, AND FOLLOW HIM, AND COME WITH THE PRESSURE OFF OF THE EDGE.
THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE JAKE PARKER AND THE OFFENSE MAKE QUICK DECISIONS TO BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN TACKLE EVEN IF THEY CAN MAKE THE PASS.
>> THEY ARE MAN COVERAGE ALL NIGHT.
THE BLITZ IS COMING.
PARKER GETS IT OUT OF THERE QUICKLY, AND FLETCHER CAN'T HOLD ON TO IT.
HE HAD A STEP ON COWERT THE SAFETY, BUT HE COULD NOT HOLD ON.
>> NICE READ BY JAKE PARKER GETTING IT OUT, AND PICKING UP THE PRESSURE LONG ENOUGH TO GET THE BALL OUT.
COLLIN FLETCHER HAS TO COME UP WITH THAT CATCH RIGHT THERE FOR THE TEAM.
THOSE ARE THE PLAYS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON THAT TOP END, AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE THOSE ONE OR TWO OPPORTUNITIES BECOME AVAILABLE.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT PLAY BEATING D.J.
COWERT TO INSIDE, AND HE CAN'T BRING THAT BALL IN.
>> PARKER IS 2 OF 5 FOR 15 YARDS IN THE SECOND HALF.
THIRD DOWN AND LONG.
PARKER WITH THE FLAG OUT, AND INCOMPLETE.
PROBABLY A HOLD ON CARTERSVILLE OFFENSIVE LINE THERE, AND CREEKSIDE LIKELY WILL DECLINE SINCE IT IS FOURTH AND 15.
>> I CAN'T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT THE CREEKSIDE DEFENSE ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO PLAY THE SCREEN AS THEY BRING THE PRESSURE.
>> ON THE OFFENSE, AND THE PENALTY IS DECLINED.
FOURTH DOWN.
>> AND WITH THE HOLD THERE.
>> CREEKSIDE GOING TO GET IT BACK.
AND THE QUESTION LOOM FOR US, WAYNE, AS WE GET READY TO STEP INTO THE FOURTH QUARTER HERE, AND WILL EITHER ONE OF THESE OFFENSES BE ABLE TO MAKE A BIG PLAY, AND IF NOT, WILL CREEKSIDE COME UP WITH A BIG PLAY ON DEFENSE TO SCORE, OR WILL CARTERSVILLE HOLD THEM OFF?
YOU DON'T SEE MANY GAMES LIKE THIS ANYMORE -- SCHILTZ HAD IT BLOCKED!
COWERT SCOOPS IT UP, AND INSIDE OF THE 15 AND ON HIS FEET INTO THE END ZONE.
IT IS A TOUCHDOWN FOR CREEKSIDE.
>> WHAT A WILD PHASE OF THE GAME AS THE KICKING GAME HAS BEEN FOR CARTERSVILLE.
WE TALKED EARLIER THAT WE HAVE HAD FOUR OR FIVE PUNTS GO OVER 50 YARDS AND A BIG BOOMING PUNT, AND THEN WE HAD A 15-YARD SHANK RIGHT HERE AND A LITTLE ROLLOUT, AND NICE BLOCK BY CREEKSIDE, AND EVEN SMARTER PLAY BY D.J.
COWERT AND NUMBER 15 THERE HAVING THE TIME TO COME IN, AND MAKE THAT PLAY, AND TAKING IT OFF OF THE FOOT OF THE PUNTER.
>> THAT IS JERMAINE SAUNDERS WITH THE PUNT BLOCK.
A 12-10 LEAD FOR CREEKSIDE.
LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR TWO HERE.
>> Referee: OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY, RETRY.
>> SO NOW, AFTER YOU GET A DELAY OF GAME, DO YOU STILL GO FOR THE TWO?
THE ANSWER WILL TELL US A LOT IN HOW MUCH CONFIDENCE MAURICE DIXON HAS IN THE KICKING GAME.
>> HE IS STILL LINING UP.
>> THEY ARE GOING TO CALL A TIME-OUT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
THIS IS A BIG MOMENT, AND TYPICALLY I DON'T LIKE -- >> TIME-OUT.
>> AND I DON'T WANT TO BURN A TIME-OUT IN THE THIRD QUARTER, BUT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THE THREE OR FOUR-POINT LEAD HANGING IN THIS, AND THIS IS WHERE THEY HAVE HAD TROUBLE AND SHANKED IT BEFORE, AND THE ROLLOUT RUGBY-STYLE KICK, AND HE HAD TROUBLE WITH IT BEFORE AND TRIED IT AGAIN RIGHT THERE, AND SAUNDERS WITH THE BLOCK, AND THE 23-YARD SCOOP AND SCORE RUN ON THE PLAY BY B.J.
COWERT.
>> AND TYPICALLY IN THE SITUATIONS, THE PUNTER IS ROLLING AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE.
IN THIS SITUATION, HE IS ROLLING INTO THE JERMAINE SAUNDERS WHO IS GOING TO TAKE THE BALL OFF OF HIS FOOT.
NICE JOB BY B.J.
COWERT AND HE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TO HAVE IT FIELDING IT, SO HE SCOOPED AND SCORED AND MADE HIMSELF A RUNNING BACK, AND SHEER WILL INTO THE END ZONE, AND BEFORE YOU COULD SAY IT, MATT, WHERE WOULD THE POINTS COME FROM CREEKSIDE, THE ANSWER IS RIGHT THERE.
>> FROM THE SPECIAL TEAMS.
THEY ARE STILL GOING FOR IT HERE.
IT IS LOOKING AND ROLLING, AND TWO-POINT CONVERSION!
THE PASS IS COMPLETE TO DERRICK WHITE, AND 14-10 LEAD FOR CREEKSIDE.
QUITE UNCONVENTIONALLY, AND NO OFFENSIVE POINTS TONIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE TWO-POINT CONVERSIONS.
>> AND PROBABLY THE PRETTIEST PASS THAT WE HAVE SEEN LETT THROW TONIGHT.
A LITTLE ROLLOUT, AND HE GOT THE SHOULDERS SQUARE, AND GREAT VELOCITY ON THE BALL, AND DELIVERING IT ON THE DIME THERE TO DERRICK WHITE.
>> SO A 14-10 LEAD FOR CREEKSIDE HERE WITH 13 MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE GAME, AND 12 IN THE FOURTH, AND ONE MORE HERE IN THE THIRD AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CREEKSIDE RESUME.
THEY WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP JUST EIGHT YEARS AGO UNDER OLTON DOWNS, THE DEFENDING CHAMPION AND MADE THE REGIONAL PLAYOFFS, AND THEY ARE JUST FOUR YEARS REMOVED FROM THE 0-10 SEASON.
>> THAT IS QUICK TURN AROUND WHEN YOU ARE GOING FROM THE 0-10 TO THREE YEARS IN THE PLAYOFFS AND COACH DIXON HAS COME IN, IN THIS FOURTH YEAR TO ESTABLISH AN IDENTITY TO THE TEAM, AND ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE.
>> THE KICK IS GOING TO BE TAKEN AT THE 10 YARD LINE.
WILKEY ON THE RETURN TO THE 24.
SO NOW, CARTERSVILLE HAS TO COME UP WITH OFFENSE, AND THEY HAVE NOT GENERATED MUCH TONIGHT, AND BASICALLY ONLY 15 YARDS THAT MATTERED AFTER THEY RECOVERED A PUNT, AND WENT 26 YARDS AND 15 ON A PASS FROM PARKER TO RAY, AND THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE OFFENSE TONIGHT.
NOW THEY HAVE TO GENERATE SOME OFFENSE, AND WHAT THAT TWO-POINT CONVERSION DID WAS TO TAKE THE FIELD GOAL OUT OF THE MIX.
>> AND JAKE PARKER HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET ENOUGH TIME WITH THE PRESSURE DEFENSE, AND AS I TALKED ABOUT THIS RECEIVING CORPS, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK LOOSE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THESE BALLS, AND CATCH THEM, AND AS WE SAW EARLIER, COLLIN FLETCHER IS DROPPING THE PASS, AND YOU ARE IN THE MAN-TO-MAN, AND YOU HAVE TO BE EXCITED TO PLAY WITH MORE ENERGY AND GET THIS RUN GAME GOING IF YOU ARE CARTERSVILLE.
>> AND THE HANDOFF GOES TO MALACHI JEFFRIES.
AND THE OTHER THING IS THAT CARTERSVILLE DOESN'T NEED TO PANIC HERE.
THAT IS AMARI WHITE AND NOT JEFFRIES ON THE CARRY.
YOU DON'T NEED TO PANIC HERE, AND THEY DO NEED A TOUCHDOWN, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE IN A SITUATION TO THROW THE PLAYBOOK OUT THE WINDOW, BUT THEY DO HAVE TO GENERATE SOME THINGS, AND YOU ARE RIGHT, THEY DO HAVE TO GET SOME RECEIVERS TO GET SOME YARDS AFTER THE CATCH.
MIGHT BE THE FINAL PLAY OF THE THIRD QUARTER HERE.
WHITE TRYING TO COME TO THE NEAR SIDE.
FIRST DOWN AND MORE.
THE BIGGEST RUN OF THE NIGHT FOR AMARI WHITE AFTER MISSING THE LAST 10 OR 11 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE KNEE INJURY, AND BIG RUN BY AMARI WHITE ON WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE FINAL PLAY OF THE QUARTER, 29 YARDS.
>> WITH WHITE AND LANDO, AND WE EXPECTED THEM TO HAVE MORE SUCCESS, AND NO BETTER TIME TO RUN WITH THAT ANGER THAN TO GET INTO THE OPEN FIELD AND SHOW YOU THAT BURST.
>> EIGHT CARRIES FOR 60 YARDS FOR AMAR'E WHITE, AND 29 OF THEM CAME ON THAT PLAY THERE, AND IT IS 14-10, CREEKSIDE, AS WE ARE HEADING TO THE FOURTH.
THE TRIBE CAME UP WITH A BIG SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY LATE IN THE THIRD.

♪♪ >>> THE START OF THE FOURTH QUARTER AT LYMAN STADIUM IN CARTERSVILLE, AND WHAT A GREAT OPENER FOR YOU TONIGHT.
NUMBER FOUR CREEKSIDE LEADING NUMBER SEVEN CARTERSVILLE, AND TWO UNBEATENS IN 5-A AND FIRST AND TEN FOR THE HURRICANES FROM THE 42 AS WE START THE FOURTH QUARTER, AND AMARI WHITE, AND THIS TIME, HE IS KNOCKED BACKWARDS THAT IS CARLTON WILLIAMS THE DEFENSIVE TACKLE.
CREEKSIDE SAYS THAT HE FUMBLED, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THE OFFICIALS ARE GOING TO BUY THAT ARGUMENT.
AND NOW ALONG WITH WAYNE GANDY AND WILEY BALLARD, AND HANK GOODEN JOINING US TONIGHT, AND OUR BELOVED COLLEAGUE JON NELSON WILL BE ENSHRINED IN THE CIRCLE FOR HIS GOOD WORK IN THIS INDUSTRY.
WE WILL SEE NELLY NEXT WEEK.
HOLDING IS THE CALL AGAINST CARTERSVILLE.
>> AND THAT IS DEVIN, THE RIGHT GUARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN PULLING HIM DOWN.
YOU CAN SEE CARTERSVILLE MAKING THE EFFORT TO GET THE RUN GAME GOING IN THIS FOURTH QUARTER.
AND SOMETHING THAT WE EXPECTED.
>> Referee: OFFENSE, FIFE-YARD PENALTY, STILL THE FIRST.
>> SOMETHING THAT WE EXPECTED THEM TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF BACKS THAT THEY HAVE.
PRESSURE DEFENSE UP FRONT, AND ONCE AGAIN TULLIS AND BOLTON AND OTHERS HOLDING THEIR OWN.
>> AND IT HAS BEEN THE STORY ALL NIGHT FOR CARTERSVILLE, AND POSITIVE PLAY FOLLOWED BY THE NEGATIVE.
>> PARKER IS GOING UP TOP FOR FLETCHER, AND NEARLY INTERCEPTED AND THAT WAS RICKY McCRARY AS WE CHECK IN WITH WILEY.
>> MATT, ONE OF THE THEMES FOR CREEKSIDE UNDER COACH MAURICE DIXON HAS BEEN TO PUT THE BEST PLAYERS ON DEFENSE AND EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES AS A YOUNG COACH THAT HE FELT THAT HE SHOULD PUT THE BEST PLAYERS ON OFFENSE TO GET THE BALL, BUT WHAT HE FOUND AS A COACH AT CREEKSIDE, IF YOU KEEP THE GUYS OFF OF THE BOARDS YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO WIN, SO HE HAS PRIORITIZED THE BEST PLAYERS ON DEFENSE AND LO AND BEHOLD, IT HAS TURNED INTO POINTS.
>> WELL, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
WAYNE, WHEN YOU THOSE KIND OF BALLERS, LET THEM PLAY SOME DEFENSE.
>> PROBABLY THE BETTER PART OF THAT IS THAT HE HASN'T SEEMED TO REQUIRE HIS TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TO PLAY ON OFFENSE.
AND A LOT OF TIMES THE COACHES GET GREEDY AND THEY WANT TO EXHAUST THE PLAYER, AND HE IS OKAY.
BUT WITH THE MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE IS CREEKSIDE ALL NIGHT LONG, AND THEY ARE HOLDING UP NICE PLAY THERE BY 21 RICKY McCRARY WHO HAD TWO PASS INTERFERENCES IN THE FIRST HALF, BUT HE MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT ON THE PLAY ON FIRST DOWN TO GET HIS HEAD AROUND.
>> YEAH, TWO PLAYS IN A ROW, BUT THEY ARE WORKING RICKY McCRARY AND TRYING TO SQUEEZE IT INTO A TIGHT SPOT THERE TO JACOB RAY WHO HAS THE ONLY OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN TONIGHT ON THE 15-YARD CATCH FROM PARKER IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
NOW IT IS THIRD DOWN AND 20.
AND GAMBLE IS IN THERE AT QUARTERBACK AND TOSSING IT ACROSS THE MIDDLE INCOMPLETE, AND AGAIN McCRARY AND A FLAG OUT ON McCRARY THAT TIME.
RAY WAS THE TARGET.
>> NICE JOB OF PAUL GAMBLE.
>> YOU POINTED IT OUT EARLIER, WAYNE, AND THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THEM SEEING SOMETHING ON FILM, AND THEY KEEP GOING BACK TO IT.
>> NICE JOB OF GAMBLE PRESSING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE FORCING THE DEFENSE -- >> Referee: 15-YARD PENALTY, REMAINS THIRD DOWN.
>> AS YOU SKI IT RIGHT THERE, PAUL GAMBLE IS FORCING THEM TO GET OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND UNFORTUNATELY WITH RICKY McCRARY WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING WITH DAINSUS MILLER AND AMAI WHITE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ALL NIGHT.
>> AND AMARI WHITE IS STONE WALLED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, AND NOTHING DO, BECAUSE IT IS KHARY MORROW CLOSING IN ON THAT ONE.
DID WE HAVE A TIME-OUT CALLED?
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL TIME-OUT.
>> I AM NOT SURE.
WE HAVE COACHES ON THE FIELD.
THEY ARE GOING TO SIDELINE.
CARTERSVILLE AND THE OFFENSE ARE PLAYING WITH A LITTLE ENERGY, AND FOURTH AND FOUR, AND BIG DECISION HERE.
>> YES.
>> BY CONOR FOSTER.
>> DO YOU TRY TO KICK THE BALL AGAIN, AND TRY TO KICK IT DEEP, AND TRY TO PIN CREEKSIDE AND FORCE A TURNOVER AND GET A SHORT FIELD OR GO FOR IT ON FOURTH AND FOUR WITH 11:00 TO GO IN THE GAME?
>> I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DISCUSSION IS.
THE BALL PLACEMENT.
>> WHAT IS INTERESTING HERE IS THAT WE HAVE TWO HEAD COACHES COACHING AT THEIR ALMA MATERS.
CONOR FOSTER PLAYED AT CARTERSVILLE AND MAURICE DIXON PLAYED AT CREEKSIDE.
SO, THEY ARE INVESTED AND NOT JUST A COACH WHO TOOK A JOB.
THEY ARE BACK AT THE HALLOWED HALLS.
HERE WE GO.
FOURTH AND FOUR.
GOING TO GO FOR A LONG PASS AND INSTEAD, IT IS A QUARTERBACK SACK BACK AT THE 41, AND IT IS GOING TO BE A PERSONAL FOUL ON CREEKSIDE.
I BELIEVE TULLIS CAME IN LATE AFTER BOLTON HAD HIM WRAPPED UP.
THIS IS GOING TO GIVE CARTERSVILLE A FIRST DOWN IF THAT IS THE CALL.
>> THAT IS GOING TO BE THE WAY IN WHICH MALIK TULLIS DELIVERED THE BLOW.
GOOD JOB BY KACEY BOLTON BREAKING THROUGH THE MIDDLE THERE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE FOREARM SHIVER BY MALIK TULLIS.
>> Referee: IT IS NOT A DEAD BALL FOUL, BUT A LIVE BALL FOUL, AND 15 FROM HERE, AND FIRST DOWN.
NO, FROM THE END OF THE RUN.
>> NO, HELMET TO HELMET, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE FOREARM OF TULLIS HITTING HIM UP IN THE HEAD AREA.
>> PERSONAL FOUL NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
>> TRYING TO FINISH OFF THE PLAY.
KACEY BOLTON IS THE NOSE TACKLE, AND WE HAVE CALLED HIS NAME, AND SPLIT UP THE TACKLE THERE, AND A GREAT TACKLE THERE ON MALIK TULLIS.
>> THAT IS A BREAK FOR CARTERSVILLE, AND CAN THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT?
WHITE RUNNING RIGHT INTO VINCENT HILL WITH VERY LITTLE GAIN.
>> NICE JOB BY 34, CARLTON WILLIAMS.
THEY ARE CONTROLLING THE LINE AND PUSHING THEM TONE THE GROUND.
>> SECOND DOWN AND EIGHT.
THE BALL AT THE 24.
WHITE SKIPS PAST THE DEFENSE.
DOWN TO THE 14 YARD LINE.
10-YARD GAIN FOR AMARI WHITE.
>> HE MISSED THE FIRST TWO GAMES AND A LITTLE COUNTER ACTION.
WE HAVE SEEN THAT ONCE HE GETS OUT INTO THE SECONDARY, HE IS RUNNING WITH A PASSION, AND THAT SIDE AS THE COACH TALKED ABOUT LISTED 185, BUT HE IS RUNNING WITH A PHYSICALITY AND FINISHING OFF THE RUN AS HE IS 240.
>> AND 12 CARRIES AND 77 YARDS FOR AMARI WHITE AS HE IS TAPPING THE OUT, AND JEFFRIES IN THERE.
THE FLAG IS OUT AS JEFFRIES IS PICKING UP THREE OR FOUR ON THE PLAY.
>> AS YOU WATCH CARTERSVILLE COME INTO THE GAME, YOU KNEW THEY HAD THIS KIND OF TALENT AT THE RUNNING BACK POSITION.
>> FIVE-YARD MARKOFF AND POSITIVE PLAY FOLLOWED BY A NEGATIVE PLAY HAS BEEN THE THEME FOR CARTERSVILLE TONIGHT.
YEAH, THEY HAVE HAD A LONG HISTORY OF GREAT RUNNING BACKS AT CARTERSVILLE, AND OF COURSE, GOING BACK TO -- >> Referee: HOLDING ON THE OFFENSE, AND 10-YARD PENALTY, SPOT OF THE FOUL, AND FIRST DOWN.
>> SO MORE THAN ONE PENALTY, AND THEY TAKE THE 10-YARD VARIETY, AND BACKING THEM UP TEN YARDS.
I WAS GOING TO SAY GREAT RUNNING BACKS GOING BACK TO ONE OF YOUR CONTEMPORARIES, AND A LITTLE BIT AFTER YOU, RONNIE BROWN.
>> RONNIE BROWN.
>> PLAYED AT CARTERSVILLE, AND WENT ON THE AUBURN AND OF COURSE, THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
>> IF YOU TALK TO RONNIE, HE INVENTED THE WILDCAT THAT THEY RUN IN THE NFL NOW, AND RICKY WILLIAMS DOWN WITH THE DOLPHINS.
>> WELL, THEY WERE THE FIRST TO RUN IT IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, AND THEY STOLE IT FROM COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
AND JEFFRIES NOT GOING ANYWHERE, AND AGAIN, VINCENT HILL, AND THEIR LEADING TACKLER COMING IN HAS HAD ANOTHER MONSTER NIGHT.
AND THEY GOT THE BODY TO GET IT DONE, AND 6'1á, AND 227 AND HE DOES THE FILM WORK, AND HE KNOWS WHAT THE OFFENSE IS GOING TO DO, AND HE IS A REALLY GOOD ONE FOR THE SEMINOLES.
>> I KNOW IT IS EARLY IN THE SEASON, BUT YOU CAN TELL WHY THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE IS SUCH A GREAT DEFENSE.
THEY SEEM TO HAVE THE RESILIENCY.
THEY DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS.
PERSONAL FOULS, PASS INTERFERENCE, AND WHATEVER, WE WILL LINE UP AND PLAY THE NEXT PLAY.
THEY CONTINUE TO BRING THE PRESSURE AND PLAY HARD.
>> JUMP BALL.
KNOCKED AWAY.
THAT IS COWERT KNOCKING IT ATWAY FROM FLETCHER.
HE HAD THAT 23-YARD SCOOP AND SCORE ON THE PUNT BLOCK, AND A BIG PLAY BY HIM RIGHT THERE ON DEFENSE.
>> AND THE BIG PLAY ON COLLIN FLETCHER, AND GOOD PASS, AND GOOD PROTECTION.
YOU COULD SEE COWERT RIGHT AT THE END KIND OF IDLE DOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT HE DIDN'T JUMP INTO FLETCHER AND GIVE HIM THE PENALTY.
NICE JOB BY HIM, LONG, 6'1", AND JUST GETTING THE HANDS UP.
YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM TURN AROUND TO FIND THE BALL, BUT HE DID DO A NICE JOB TO CONTROLLING HIMSELF SO THAT THE MOMENTUM DID NOT FALL INTO THE RECEIVER.
>> THIRD AND 21 AND THE LINE TO GAIN IS THE 4.
HEAVY RUSH -- QUARTERBACK SACK AGAIN.
VINCENT HILL, KHARY MORROW AND DROPPED FOR A BIG LOSS AND PROBABLY KNOCKED THEM OUT OF THE FIELD GOAL RANGE RIGHT THERE.
>> THIS HAS BEEN THE THEME ALL NIGHT LONG, AND WATCH THESE BACKERS JUST TAKE OFF, AND NOT ABLE TO SLIDE OUT THERE AS THE SENOR TO LUKE SURRETT BRINGS DOWN MORROW OR HIELD GETTING THERE, AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE TACKLING, AND YOU KNEW THEY WOULD DIAL UP THE PRESSURE.
THAT IS WHAT THEY DO IN CREEKSIDE WITH THIS DEFENSE.
>> HEEL WITH THE SECOND TACKLE AND A BUNCH OF INDIVIDUAL TACKLES, AND FOURTH DOWN.
WILLIAMS JUMPED OFFSIDES AND THAT IS FIVE YARDS TO WORK WITH.
>> Referee: REMAINS FOURTH DOWN.
>> BUT BASICALLY, THIS IS ALMOST A HAIL MARY SITUATION, AND YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE 4 YARD LINE TO GET THE FIRST DOWN, BUT SCORE THE TOUCHDOWN.
SO YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE 4 FOR THE FIRST.
THEY ARE GOING TO QUICK KICK IT.
THIS IS THE SMARTEST THING THEY COULD HAVE DONE HERE.
THEY WILL PIN THEM AT THE 1 YARD LINE.
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL DECISION RIGHT THERE BY CARTERSVILLE.
NOW, CAN THEIR DEFENSE COME UP WITH A STOP OR TURNOVER.
RUNNING OUT OF TIME AT THE STADIUM.

>> 7:31 IS LEFT IN THIS ONE, AND CARTERSVILLE FINISHED OFF A 10-PLAY 5:30 DRIVE AND GOT NO POINTS OUT OF IT.
SO THE CLOCK IS NOW WORKING AGAINST THEM, BUT THEY HAVE THE FIELD POSITION HERE, WAYNE, AS CREEKSIDE IS PINNED IN AT THE 2 YARD LINE.
>> ONE THING ABOUT THE DEFENSE OF CARTERSVILLE TONIGHT, THEY HAVE PLAYED BIG WHEN COUNTED UPON, FOURTH DOWN, AND HERE IS A GREAT TIME FOR THEM TO GET THE THREE AND OUT ON THIS CREEKSIDE OFFENSE.
CREEKSIDE IS GETTING BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE DOING EARLIER IN THE GAME, AND LEANING ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE AND TRYING TO GET OUT, AND CREATE SOME SPACE, AND FIRST AND FOREMOST TO GET THE PUNT OFF, BUT TO TRY TO EAT UP SOME OF THE CLOCK AS WELL.
>> SO THAT IS A PICK UP OF SIX THERE, AND SECOND DOWN AND FOUR.
THE PLAY IS BLOWN DEAD AS THE BALL POPPED OUT.
>> STILL SECOND DOWN.
>> LOOKING AT NUMBER 74 FOR CREEKSIDE.
REMEMBER THE NAME CALEB HOLMES, AND 27/7 SPORTS, AND FOUR-STAR SOPHOMORE AND RATED THE NUMBER THREE INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMEN IN CLASS 5 FOR THE ENTIRE NATION.
HE IS 6'3" AND 285 AND PLAYING TACKLE FOR CREEKSIDE AND THEY SEE HIM IN THE INSIDE, WAYNE.
AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
>> HE IS WEARING MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER, BUT IT TOOK ME FIVE YEARS IN PROS TO GET TO 290.
>> HE HAS BEEN OFFER AND STARTED EVERY GAME AS A FRESHMAN LAST YEAR.
>> Referee: HALF THE DISTANCE AND STILL SECOND YEAR.
>> HE IS A TWO-YEAR STARTER ALREADY, BUT HE HAS BEEN OFFERED MARYLAND, AND ARKANSAS STATE, AND EASTERN KENTUCKY.
AND THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT MORE OFFERS COMING.
>> AT 6'3", AND AT HIS AGE, 15, HE HAS AT LEAST PROBABLY ANOTHER TWO INCHES MINIMUM, AND THAT HE IS GOING TO GROW OR HIT THE 6'6" MARK.
SO JUST -- >> HE MIGHT GROW MORE.
>> SHOW IS A CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM 300.
>> SO HE MIGHT GROW INTO THE TACKLE, BUT AT 6'3", HE IS NOT A TACKLE -- AND THAT IS CLOSE TO A SAFETY!
THEY NEARLY HAD A SAFETY, AS THEY HIT MORROW IN THE BACKFIELD, AND NEARLY HAD HIM WRAPPED UP.
MORROW KEPT CHURN HIS LEGS AND GOT CREEKSIDE OUT OF DANGER.
>> NICE PENETRATION BY CARTERSVILLE, AND NO BIGGER PLAY THAN TO GET A SAFETY RIGHT HERE OFF OF THE EDGE.
YOU SEE GRANDBERRY.
>> HE LET HIM GET AWAY.
>> WITH THAT PENETRATION AND GOOD JOB BY MORROW TO RECOGNIZING THAT HE WAS IN THE END ZONE, AND STARTED TO RUNNING WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF PASSION.
>> MORROW CAME IN WITH FOUR CARRIES THE ENTIRE SEASON.
BUT HE HAS REALLY BEEN A DIFFERENCE-MAKER FROM THEM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BE WITH NO OFFENSIVE POINTS OTHER THAN THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION, AND HE HAS RUN HARD IN THE SECOND HALF.
>> FIRST MISSION ACCOMPLISHED AND GET THE BALL OFF OF THE GOAL LINE, AND NOW YOU JUMP INTO THE SECOND PHASE WHICH IS TRYING TO EAT UP AS MUCH OF THE CLOCK, SLOW PACE THE BALL, AND FOUR OR FIVE YARDS AND SHOULDERS SQUARE AND PROTECT THE BALL.
>> WALKING UP THE FIELD, AND THAT IS A BIG STOP THERE, AND GOING TO BRING UP THIRD DOWN NOW.
AND THE CANES CAN DO HAVE ALL THREE TIME-OUTS REMAINING, AND CREEKSIDE HAS TWO.
AND YOU HAVE A FEELING THAT CARTERSVILLE IS GOING TO NEED THE TIME-OUTS ON DEFENSE TO STOP THE CLOCK AND GET THE BALL BACK.
THIRD DOWN AND FOUR, AND THIS IS A HUGE THIRD DOWN PLAY HERE.
>> AND FOR CARTERSVILLE, THIS IS A PERIPHERAL HURRICANE DEFENSE AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE EYES ON LETT HERE TO KEEP FROM PULLING THE BALL.
>> THEY WON'T GET THE FIRST DOWN.
SO NOW IT IS GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN, AND IT IS LOOKING LIKE CARTERSVILLE CAME UP WITH THE STOP THEY NEEDED.
>> THIS GAME SHAPED UP THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A LOT OF ONUS PUT ON THE DEFENSE, AND RIGHT NW NYQUA FOR A PUNT.
>> LOOKING FOR HARD COUNT.
>> NO WAY THIS IS A KICK.
UNBELIEVABLE, THEY ARE GOING FOR IT, AND THEY GOT IT.
HOLY SMOKES!
>> COACH DIXON -- >> HE NEEDS TO GO TO VEGAS, MAN.
>> WE SALUTE YOU IN A MAJOR WAY.
>> HOLY SMOKES.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> YEAH, I MEANT TO GET IT, AND LOOK AT THE CALM AND COOL DEMEANOR THAT HE HAS.
YEAH, I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING.
>> AT THEIR OWN 18, AND THEY GO FOR IT AND GET IT.
>> THERE IS A BIG SMILE INSIDE OF THAT FROWN RIGHT THERE.
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
WHAT A PLAY CALL IN THAT SITUATION.
>> ONLY UP BY FOUR.
ON THE ROAD.
>> VINCENT HILL.
VINCENT HILL IS GETTING THE CARRY, AND PUTTING THE LINEBACKER IN THERE.
I THINK THAT MAYBE HE IS OUR LEADING CANDIDATE FOR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE ON DEFENSE AND NOW THEY GIVE HIM THE BALL AT THE END OF THE GAME.
>> THAT RIGHT THERE IS TELLING EVERYBODY TO RELAX, AND WE ARE GOING TO MILK THIS CLOCK.
A LOT OF THE TIMES WE ARE CHANGING WHICH SIDE WE ARE GOING TO RUN THIS PLAY TO WHICH SIDE OF THE BALL.
>> AND STILL, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A HALF YARD AND BRING UP A THIRD DOWN.
AND FORTUNATELY FOR CARTERSVILLE, HILL'S HELMET POPPED OFF AND HE HAS TO COME OFF OF THE FIELD.
>> AND HILL IS IN THE GAME FOR BALL SECURITY AS WELL, AND WHEN THEY LOOK AT DAVIS AND MORROW AND BURCH, AND CREEKSIDE DOES NOT HAVE A BACK OVER 200 POUNDS, AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT, AND IN HILL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE AROUND 230, AND HE IS NOT GOING TO TRY TO THROW ANY JUKES AND BALL SECURITY, AND PLOWING FORWARD.
>> THIRD AND THREE, AND BURCH DOES NOT GET THE FIRST DOWN, AND I'M GUESSING THAT CARTERSVILLE IS GOING TO BURN A TIME-OUT HERE.
THEY HAVE NOT DONE IT YET.
>> AND CLOCK HAS STOPPED, AND THEY HAVE CALLED A TIME-OUT.
CARTERSVILLE.
FOURTH DOWN COMING UP.
IS THAT A PUNTING SITUATION?
WE WILL FIND OUT WHEN WE GET BACK.
>>> SWEETHEART, DON'T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT.
>> I GOT IT, MOM.
♪♪ >> IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, SO MANY TOMORROWS CAN DISAPPEAR.
BUCKLE UP EVERY TRIP, EVERY TIME.
A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF SAFETY.
>> JUST A SECOND, I ONLY BUY LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE.
>> WELL, THAT SHIRT IS NOT LOCAL.
YOU SHOULD BE WEARING COTTON.
GEORGIA IS A MAJOR SUPPLIER OF COTTON WORLDWIDE.
SO IF YOU WANT TO BUY LOCAL, BUY COTTON, IT IS SUSTAINABLE, AND NATURAL.
AND THAT IS A POLYESTER FIBER MADE OF OIL.
>> BY THE WAY, WHERE IS YOUR DRESSING ROOM?
>> WE HOPE THAT YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS ONE AS MUCH AS WE HAVE, AND MAURICE DIXON DEFINED ALL OF THE CONVENTIONAL COACHING KNOWLEDGE AND DECISION-MAKING GOING FOR IT A MOMENT AGO ON FOURTH AND CLOSER TO THREES AND TWO AND GOT IT, AND NOW ANOTHER FOURTH DOWN DECISION, AND THIS TIME, THEY LINE UP TO PUNT.
THIS GIVES THEM A BETTER CHANCE TO FLIP THE FIELD.
AT THIS POINT, HE IS THINKING THAT IF I CAN MAKE THEM GO 60 YARDS, I CAN STOP THEM, AND LETT PUMPS IT OUT OF THERE, AND IT IS A GOOD ONE, AND FAIR CAUGHT AT THE 28 BY FLETCHER.
SO CARTERSVILLE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO 72 YARDS IN 2 1/2 MINUTES TO BEAT CREEKSIDE.
>> SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ALL NIGHT LONG.
AND WHAT A TIME TO GET DOWNFIELD FOR COLLIN FLETCHER AND JACOB RAY, AND WE HAVE SEEN THEM HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE BIG PLAYS, AND JUST NOT COMING UP WITH THEM.
YOU HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS IF YOU ARE CARTERSVILLE, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE PRACTICE AND PRACTICED AND PRACTICED, AND IT IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE KEYS TO THIS TEAM IS THEIR ABILITY TO RUN THE SCREEN.
SO THAT IS STILL AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THIS SITUATION WITH TWO TIME-OUTS.
>> HEY, AND DON'T CHECK OUT JUST YET, BECAUSE TONIGHT IS STILL YOUNG.
THE POST GAME SHOW, HANNAH GOODIN IS COMING UP FOLLOWING THE GAME, AND IF YOU MISSED PORTIONS OF THE GAME OR THE RECRUITING SHOW, WE WILL REPLAY ALL OF IT AFTER THE POST GAME SHOW.
PARKER IS GOING TO THE AIR, AND OH, MY GOODNESS A FLAG IS OUT.
DAIQUAN WHITE WHO HAD THE 68-YARD PICK SIX EARLIER IN THE GAME, HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT HERE.
YEAH.
IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD HIS HANDS DOWN.
WHITE IS SAYING, WHAT DID I DO?
>> GOOD PROTECTION ON THE OUTSIDE.
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE, JUST PUSHING AND SELLING IT THERE IS COLLIN FLETCHER, BUT THE ONE THING THAT AS WE HAVE SAID A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR BOTH TEAMS IN THE GAME, WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT SECONDARY, YOU HAVE TO SHOW THE UMPIRE, THE REFEREE THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO LOOK FOR THE BALL, AND DAIQUAN WHITE NEVER TURNED HIS HEAD AROUND.
>> THE BALL AT THE 34, AND THE BLITZ IS COMING.
PARKER.
HE GETS IT OUT OF THERE.
INCOMPLETE.
MILLER IS RUNNING WITH MAYHALL STEP FOR STEP.
THEY WERE DOING THEIR BEST TO PROTECT HIM THERE TO PROTECT THE BLITZ.
>> ONCE AGAIN, GOING UP TOP IS CARTERSVILLE, AND ONCE IN A WHILE, MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE, AND THE TEAMS ARE TRYING TO TEST YOU THINKING IT IS A 50/50 BALL, AND COMING UP WITH THE PASS INTERFERENCE, AND THE GOOD PRESSURE UP THE MIDDLE ONCE AGAIN BY HEEL AND MILLER.
>> PARKER FIRES OFF OF THE HANDS OF WILKINS.
AND IT IS THIRD AND TEN.
>> WE SAW MILLER GO OUT A LITTLE EARLIER.
THIS IS THE THREE-STEP DROP, AND IF YOU ARE JAKE PARKER, YOU WANT THE BRING THAT BALL DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND HIT MILLER ON THE LITTLE HIGH, AND HARD CATCH, AND COULD HAVE COME UP WITH IT, BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE BALL ON THE NUMBERS IF YOU ARE JAKE PARKER.
>> AND NOW, BENSON HILL DID NOT JUMP OVER THE LINE.
IF THAT BLUE LINE IS TRUE, HE DIDN'T.
SCREEN PASS, BENHAM, AND DID HE GET THE FIRST DOWN?
IT LOOKS LIKE HE DID.
>> NICE JOB AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE ABILITY OF CARTERSVILLE BEING A GREAT SCREEN TEAM AND AS THEY HAVE SHOWN YOU, THEY HAVE ALL OF THE SCREENS AVAILABLE FROM TIGHT END TO RECEIVER, AND QUICK SCREEN, BUBBLE SCREEN, AND YOU HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS AND YOU CAN STILL FUNCTION WITH YOUR SCREEN GAME.
>> THE PASS IS CAUGHT BY RAY ALL OF THE WAY DOWN TO THE 21 YARD LINE, AND JACOB RAY WITH THE SECOND BIG CATCH OF THE NIGHT.
IT IS GOING FOR 24.
CARTERSVILLE IS IN BUSINESS.
>> THREE-STEP QUICK READ, AND THIS TIME, AS YOU CAN SEE, JAKE PARKER IS LISTENING TO US, AND PUTTING THE BALL ON THE NUMBERS AND KEEPING IT LOW WHERE ONLY JACOB RAY CAN COME UP WITH THE CATCH.
>> THE TIME-OUT IS CALLED CAN BY CREEKSIDE.
THAT LEAVES THEM WITH ONE.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL NIGHT, WE SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE MOMENTUM FROM THIS CARTERSVILLE OFFENSE.
>> MOMENTUM AND ENERGY THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE DRIVE.
PRESSURE IS COMING UP THE MIDDLE, AND NICE PICK UP BY THE BACK THERE OUT ON THE EDGE.
THIS TIME, KEEPING THE BALL DOWN LOW, AND JUST A LITTLE SLANT HERE BY JACOB RAY TO THE INSIDE.
WE SAW HIM WITH THE TOUCHDOWN CATCH, AND RUNNING A SIMILAR ROUTE RIGHT THERE, AND SO A NICE ROUTE AND NICE THROW BY PARKER.
>> REMEMBER, CREEKSIDE'S DECISION TO GO FOR TWO AFTER THE BLOCKED PUNT FIELD GOAL AND AFTER THE BLOCKED PUNT TOUCHDOWN HAS MADE THIS A SITUATION WHERE CARTERSVILLE OBVIOUSLY HAS TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN HERE, AND THE FIELD GOAL IS NOT GOING TO DO THEM ANY GOOD.
2:07 TO GO.
PARKER HAD MISSED ON THE LAST SIX PASS ATTEMPTS BEFORE HITTING THE LAST TWO.
TO BENHAM AND THE BIG ONE TO RAY.
FIRST AND TEN AT THE 21.
GOING BACK FOR THE SCREEN AGAIN AND INCOMPLETE.
>> LOOKING OUT AGAIN IS MALIK TULLIS OUT ON THE EDGE, AND CHASING AMARI WHITE.
NO TIME TO LET THE PLAY DEVELOP WITH GREAT PRESSURE UP THE MIDDLE BY VINCENT HILL, AND THIS CREEKSIDE DEFENSE IS LIKE I SAID THEY ARE SHOWING A LOT OF POISE.
THEY ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN A SIMILAR GAME LAST WEEK.
>> YEP.
>> THEY HAD TO STEP UP AND MAKE SOME PLAYS.
>> PARKER GOING FOR END ZONE.
AND CAUGHT!
TOUCHDOWN, CARTERSVILLE.
PHILLIP SCHILTZ IS REDEEMING HIMSELF.
THE PUNTER WHO HAD THE PUNT BLOCKED THAT LED TO CREEKSIDE'S LEAD COMES BACK TO SCORE ON THE 21-YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH WITH 1:58 TO GO AS THE CANES RETAKE THE LEAD, 16-14.
>> JUST A GO ROUTE OUT ON THE EDGE.
RICKY McCRARY IS FINDING HIMSELF IN THE ONE-ON-ONE BATTLE WITH SCHILTZ, AND THIS TIME, HE IS ABLE TO GO UP TO GET IT.
>> AND THE P.A.T.
AND JAKE PARK PARKER IS UP TOP, AND HE JUMPS UT TO GET THE TOUCHDOWN AND THE KAENS LEAD.
>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA IS LED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE REMINDING YOU BE SAFE ON EVERY TRIP.
BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.
ALSO BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY REGENTS BANK, GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGENTING BANK.
GEORGIA'S EMC, AND SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.
CIGNA, TOGETHER ALL OF THE WAY, AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.
THANK YOU.
>>> REGENTS BANK IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS MOVE FORWARD.
IN ADDITION TO OFFERING FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS TO OUR CUSTOMERS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING LOCAL INITIATIVES AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THRIVE.
REGENTS IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING IN BUILDING A BETTER GEORGIA.
1:58 TO GO, AND A TOUCHDOWN DRIVE ENGINEERED BY JAKE PARKER, AND THE FINISHING SHOT TO THE END ZONE, AND PHILLIP SCHILTZ WHO HAS HAD A CHECKERED NIGHT PUNTING.
HE HAS HAD SOME GREAT PUNTS, AND HAD ONE BLOCKED THAT LED TO THE TOUCHDOWN FOR CREEKSIDE DIRECTLY, AND REDEEMS HIMSELF RIGHT THERE WITH A 21-YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH TO PUT THE CANES ON TOP.
AND NOW, CREEKSIDE, AND THEY GENERATED ONLY TWO POINTS ON OFFENSE TONIGHT.
A TWO-POINT CONVERSION.
SCORED ON A PICK SIX.
SCORED ON THE BLOCK PUNT.
CAN THEY COME UP WITH OFFENSE TO COME BACK TO WIN THE GAME.
>> NYQUA LETT, AND WE TALKED ABOUT HIM PLAYING IN BIG MOMENTS AND NOW HE FINDS HIMSELF IN A SIMILAR SITUATION AS JAKE PARKER NEEDING TO MOVE THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.
NOT BEING ABLE TO DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG, AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE ONE OF THE BIG SHOTS TO GET THEM GOING DOWN THE FIELD.
WATCH OUT FOR CAMERON BURCH, AND ALSO WHITE WHO HAS COME UP WITH BIG CATCHES.
>> THEY DON'T HAVE A STRONG KICKING GAME, SO IF THEY SCORE, IT IS GOING TO BE SIX.
AND FIRST AND TEN FROM THEIR OWN 24.
THEY HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS REMAINING.
LETT ROLLING, AND HE IS GOING TO CUT IT UP IN THE MIDDLE, AND RUN AND DROP TO THE 32 YARD LINE BY BRASFIELD.
>> NICE JOB THERE BY LETT GETTING TO THE OUTSIDE, AND MISREAD THERE BY NASIR, AND GRANDBERRY WHO HAS BEEN GOOD, AND HE DOES NOT LET LETT GET OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET.
>> AND LETT IS BEING CHASED, AND GOING TO THROW IT DOWN FIELD, AN INCOMPLETE.
DERRICK WHITE HAS BEATEN HIS MAN.
IN ON THE COVERAGE, BUT LETT HAD GOTTEN BY HIM, AND THERE IS A FLAG DOWN ON THE PLAY.
ILLEGAL MAN DOWNFIELD.
>> LETT ROLLED TOUT BEAT THE PRESSURE.
>> Referee: INELIGIBLE MAN DOWN FIELD ON THE OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT.
SECOND DOWN.
>> AND SOMETIMES THE LINEMEN DRIFT DOWNFIELD, THE RPO AND NOT ABLE TO GET THE BALL OUT QUICK.
HE HAS NOT SEEMED COMFORTABLE ON THE RUN ALL NIGHT LONG HAS LETT, AND HE NEEDS TO COME UP HERE, AND SHOW SOME POISE.
AND STILL HAS THE TIME-OUT TO WORK THE WHOLE FIELD.
>> SECOND DOWN AND SIX, AND HEAVY RUSH FROM ROBINSON AND MAYBE A HOLD THERE, AND CAUGHT AT THE 45.
DERRICK WHITE JUMPS OVER A MAN AND FINALLY OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 40 YARD LINE.
LOOKED LIKE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A HOLD ON THE EDGE AND NO FLAG THROWN, AND 33-YARD PICKUP.
>> WE SPOKE ABOUT DERRICK WHITE.
NOT A LOT OF PRODUCTION, BUT THE BIG TIME PRODUCTION WHEN NEEDED UPON, AND HE HAS COME UP WITH THE BIG CATCHES RIGHT THERE, AND GREAT JOB GETTING THE BALL, AND GETTING UPFIELD.
>> GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE.
BURCH IS STOPPED IN HIS TRACKS.
HUGE PLAY OUT THERE ON THE EDGE BY DESMOND CALLIER.
>> CALLIER IS NOT FOOLED AT ALL.
DESMOND COMING UP TO MAKE THE BIG TACKLE WHILE BLOCKED OUT THERE ON THE EDGE, AND THE CLOCK IS JUST WINDING DOWN.
IN THAT SITUATION.
>> SEMINOLES HAVE ONE TIME-OUT LEFT.
LETT LETTING IT FLY INCOMPLETE.
BENHAM NEARLY HAD THE PICK, AND HE HAS HAD ONE EARLIER IN THE GAME, AND NOW IT IS FOURTH DOWN.
>> A LOT OF TIME OFF OF THE CLOCK ON THE PREVIOUS PLAY.
THAT TACKLE BY CALLIER.
>> THIRD DOWN, PARDON ME.
THIRD DOWN.
>> AND NYQUA LETT, YOU HAVE TO REALIZE YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET IT ALL IN ONE BIG PLAY HERE.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 12.
>> LETT IS GOING DEEP AND FLAG OUT, AND JUMP BALL, INCOMPLETE, AND GOING BACK OR THE DERRICK WHITE.
THAT IS CALLIER AGAIN ON THE COVERAGE ALONG WITH THE SAFETY CASE ADAMS AND NOW IT IS FOURTH DOWN, AND CHECK THE FLAG.
I AM GUESSING THEY WILL DECLINE THE PENALTY AND MAKE IT FOURTH DOWN.
>> THIS CREEKSIDE TEAM IS BUILT FROM THE DEFENSE AND THE RUN GAME.
>> Referee: PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL, AND REMAINS THIRD DOWN.
>> WOW.
ARE YOU SURPRISED THEY TOOK THE YARDS AND -- >> VERY SURPRISED IN THIS SITUATION THAT YOU DON'T DECLINE THE PENALTY AND TAKE THE FOURTH DOWN.
>> YOU GIVE LETT ONE MORE PLAY.
>> AND SO LOOKING TO MAKE IT GO DOWN THE FIELD AGAINST THE DEFENSE.
SNOOT SO YOU GIVE HIM ONE MORE PLAY.
INTERESTING TO SEE IF IT WORKS.
THIRD DOWN.
LETT WITH A HEAVY RUSH, AND ANOTHER FLAG OUT, AND LETT IS TRYING TO GET OUTSIDE AND STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS AND HE DOES WITH IT.
DOWN TO 11 SECONDS.
ANOTHER FLAG.
SO.
>> ONCE AGAIN, A FLAG IS THROWN ON THE FIELD WITH THE SITUATION OF HOLDING.
>> YEAH.
SO THERE IS -- WELL, WE WILL SEE IF THEY DECLINE IT THIS TIME.
WE WILL SEE AT THIS POINT, I WOULD TAKE THE YARDS, BECAUSE YOU ARE DOWN TO MAYBE ONE PLAY ANYWAY.
>> Referee: HOLDING, OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL, AND STILL THIRD DOWN.
>> I WOULD TAKE THE YARDS, BECAUSE CREEKSIDE IS DOWN TO ONE PLAY, AND BACK THEM UP AS FAR AS YOU CAN, AND IF THEY BEAT YOU, IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE LIKE A 65 OR 70-YARD PLAY.
>> AND EVERYTHING IS ADVANTAGE CARTERSVILLE IN THIS DRIVE, BECAUSE THIS CREEKSIDE OFFENSE IS REALLY NOT HELPED.
THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS BACK TO THE RECEIVERS TO THROW IT DEEP DOWN THE FIELD.
>> CREEKSIDE DOES HAVE ONE TIME-OUT LEFT.
LETT IS GOING TO RUN THE SCREEN PLAY TO BURCH.
HE DOES NOT GET OUTSIDE TO SIDELINE, AND IF NOT, THE GAME IS GOING TO BE OVER, AND CARTERSVILLE HAS WON THE GAME.
THE PURPLE HURRICANES, THE STATE FINALISTS A YEAR AGO, AND LOST 18 STARTERS OFF LAST YEAR'S TEAM, IMPROVE TO 3-0 ON THE SEASON WITH A HUGE VICTORY OVER CREEKSIDE TONIGHT.
17-14.
>> WHAT A DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE BY CARTERSVILLE AND WHAT THEY SHOWED TONIGHT.
YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THEY HUSTLED TO THE BALL, AND GAVE LETT AND THIS RECEIVING CORPS NO ABILITY TO GET DOWNFIELD.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE TONIGHT'S PLAY OF THE GAME.
IT IS PRESENTEDED BY BESTIES.
SHARE WITH YOUR BESTIE, AND THIS IS THE BESTIE PLAY OF THE GAME.
THE 21-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM JAKE PARKER TO PHILLIP SCHILTZ.
THE GAME-WINNER AS THE HURRICANES BEAT THE SEMINOLES 17-14.
WOW.
WHAT A FINISH AND WHAT A WAY TO START THE SEASON, PARTNER.
>> WOO, A DEFENSIVE BATTLE.
I THOUGHT THAT LAST WEEK WATCHING A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT THE DEFENSE IS BACK, AND NOW WE SEE THAT IT REALLY IS, AND TWO TOP NOTCH DEFENSES COMING DOWN, AND TAKING MISCUES BY THE OFFENSE, AND JAKE PARKER OF A WELL DESERVED VICTORY FOR HIM, AND LONG DAY, BUT WHEN THEY NEEDED HIM TO COME UP WITH THE THROW, HE MADE IT, AND THAT IS WHEN PEOPLE THROW THOSE ROUTES LIKE THAT, AND GETTING THE AIR ON THE TIMING AND ALL OF THAT WENT INTO THAT ADJUSTMENT BY PHILLIP SCHILTZ TO MAKE THAT CATCH IN THE AIR.
>> AND JAKE PARKER IS 11 OF 26 AND 112 ON THE NIGHT, AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS, BUT HE WAS 3 FOR 4 AND 56 YARDS ON THE FINAL 71-YARD TOUCHDOWN DRIVE ON A WEEKEND WHEN CARTERSVILLE' MOST FAMOUS SON TREVOR LAWRENCE MAKES THE ASCENCION TO THE NFL, AND MAKES THE ROOKIE START IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, IT IS JAKE PARKER, THE NEW QUARTERBACK FOR THE PURPLE HURRICANES WHO CAME UP WITH THE BIG PLAY.
AND WHAT A FINISH AS CARTERSVILLE IS NOW 3-0 ON THE SEASON.
AND NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT, THEY GET TO HOST CHEROKEE, THE TEAM THAT ENDED THEIR LONG REGULAR SEASON WINNING STREAK LAST YEAR.

>> WE WILL SEND IT DOWN TO WILEY BALLARD WHO IS STANDING BY WITH HEAD COACH CONOR FOSTER.
>> THANK YOU, MATT.
I AM JOINED BY COACH FOSTER, AND COACH, YOU TALK ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL WIN, AND OFFENSIVELY, IT WAS A STRUGGLE FOR THE FIRST 3 1/2 QUARTERS AND WHAT HAPPENED ON THE GAME-WINNING DRIVE?
>> WELL, WE WERE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO FIND ONE MORE PLAY THAN THEY DID, AND THEY ARE A HECK OF A TEAM, AND JAKE HUNG IN THERE AND MADE A HECK OF A THROW WHEN HE NEEDED TO, AND PROUD OF HIM.
>> AND THEY WERE IN THE GAME ALL NIGHT?
>> YE, WE WERE CHALLENGED LAST WEEK, AND WE GOT AFTER IT ALL WEEK IN PRACTICE AND MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND THREW SOME DIFFERENT LOOKS AT THEM, BUT I AM PROUD OF HOW THEY RESPONDED FOR SURE.
>> AND NOW, TALKING TO OUR GEORGIA COMMISSIONER PLAYER OF THE GAME, AND TELL US WHAT WENT SO WELL FOR YOU, JAKE.
>> WE WORKED ALL WEEK AND WHAT YOU DREAM FOR AND LIVE FOR THE DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN COACHED TO DO.

THEY IS WON TWO STATE TITLES LAST YEAR, AND GOT BEAT 62-28 BY WARNER ROBINS IN THE STATE NOT DO IT, BUT 18 NEW STARTERS AND THEY ARE 3-0 ON THE SEASON.
>> AND HE TALKED WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE OF THE NEW PEOPLE COMING IN, AND THEY HAD BEEN IN THE PROGRAM,ED AND THEY HAD PAID THEIR DUES AND READY TO SHINE IN THEIR MOMENT, AND THAT IS WHY EARLIER WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT BEING A PROGRAM.
THAT MEANS THAT THESE KIDS HAVE PLAYED TOGETHER AND THEY HAVE CONTINUITY, AND THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER, AND QUICKLY MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS AND YOU CAN SEE IT IS.
NO MISSTEPS TODAY ON THE DEFENSE.
THEY WENT TOUT PLAY HARD AND NO ONE LOST CONFIDENCE IN JAKE PARKER AND HIS ABILITY.
