FOOTBALL FRIDAY'S IN GEORGIA PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

WE WELCOME YOU TO WESTLAKE STADIUM IN ATLANTA.

ANOTHER FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA, AND A BIG NORTH AND SOUTH BATTLE AS CRISP COUNTY HAS COUNTERED, TRAVELED NORTH FROM CORDELE TO TAKE ON THE POWERHOUSE THE I'M NOT STEWARD TREND BY THE NFL FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK WAYNE GANDY.

THEY ARE THINKING THREE A VERSUS SEVEN A.

THERE'S JUST NO WAY BUT BOTH TEAMS ARE CHOCK- FULL OF COLLEGE FOUR AND TALENT.

CRISP HAS A HISTORY OF KNOCKING OFF 78 TEAMS AND WESTLAKE IS TRYING TO BOUNCE BACK FROM A TOUGH LOSS IN THEIR SEASON OF HER.

>> THE BIG QUESTION IS WHEN YOU ARE MOVING UP TO 7A, CAN YOUR TALENT STAND UP THE WHOLE GAME AGAINST THE DEPTH OF WESTLAKE?

>> LET'S START WITH WESTLAKE HAD BY RICO ZACHARY WHO IS BACK ON STAFF.

HE INHERITS A FOUR -YEAR STARTER A QUARTERBACK COMMITTED TO TOLEDO.

>> HE'S PLAYING THE SAME THEY COUNT ON HIM TO MAKE PLAYS.

ONLY 11 INTERCEPTIONS ON HIS CAREER.

HE'S LEARNING A NEW OFFENSE.

WATCH FOR HIM TO COOL -- BECOME A DYNAMIC STAR.

>> AND HE'S NOT THROWING THE BALL HE'S HANDING IT OFF TO JADEN THOMAS WHO RUSHED FOR 1100 YARDS LAST SEASON.

>> HE HAS A BIG GAME AND THEY COUNT ON HIM.

WITH THIS YOUNG OFFENSIVE LINE, TO CONTROL THE GAME AND KEEP THE MINUTE UNTIL THE OFFENSIVE SYSTEM STARTS WORKING WITH THE PASSING GAME.

>> THE WESTLAKE FOUR-STAR CORNER AND CLEMSON COMMIT.

>> AJ TERREL IS WHAT TOOK YOUR BROTHER TO THE PROS.

AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER IS JUST AS DYNAMIC.

WHAT A DYNAMIC PLAYMAKER AND A DEEP THREAT AND YOU KNOW THAT IS A CORNER HE IS AGGRESSIVE AND HE WILL JUMP ROUTES FOR INTERCEPTIONS.

FIRST YEAR HEAD COACH FROM LAWRENCE SMITH TO REPLACE HIS BUDDY HAD COACH MIGUEL PATRICK WHO GOT A JOB ON THE OHIO STATE STAFF, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

60 AND 17 THE TEAM HE INHERITS OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS AND INHERITS A THREE STAR QUARTERBACK AHMAD BROWN BUT THIS IS A THREE STAR SAFETY WHO STARTS BOTH WAYS AND COMMITTED TO OLE MISS.

>> WHAT A PLAYER HE IS.

STARTING AT SAFETY YOU HAVE TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL BUT WHAT A DYNAMIC ATHLETE, THE BEST ON THE FIELD FOR THIS TEAM.

THEY COUNT ON HIM.

IF HE'S GOING TO REST IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION BUT THEY COUNT ON HIM AT BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL TO MAKE PLAYS.

>> CRISP HAS ONE OF THE BEST JUNIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN BARRY WALKER WHO ALREADY HAS 18 OFFERS.

>> 6' 6 ", 300 POUNDS, PUT ME IN THE FEELING OF IT FORMER TEAMMATE OF MINE.

HIM IS THAT HE'S BECOMING A BIG TIME FINISHER IN THE RUN GAME >> ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL, JULIAN FOX HAS 11 OFFERS AND OVER 100 CAREER ATTACKERS -- TACKLES.

>> HAS COACH SAYS HE'S EVEN A GREATER PLAYER IN PERSON AND HE IS COUNTED ON TO SET THE TEMPO, THE HARDEST WORKING PLAYER AND THEY NEED THAT TEMPO ON DEFENSE.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN ONE LET'S BRING IN THE THIRD MEMBER OF OUR TEAM JOHN NELSON WHO IS STANDING BY AT WESTLAKE STADIUM.

>> GREETINGS, GOOD EVENING TO ALL OF YOU HOWEVER YOU ARE ACCESSING.

THE GUY PACING NERVOUSLY OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER IS RICO ZACKERY AND HE EVEN HAS TIES TO FOLKS ACROSS THE HALL.

HE WAS AN ASSESSMENT -- ASSISTANT ON IT CRISP AND YOU PROGRAMS FROM'S JUST MISSING THE PROGRAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS.

HE WAS NOT REALLY LOOKING TO DIVE BACK INTO THE COLLEGE RANKS BUT WHEN HIS WIFE WAS LOOKING FOR HOMES ON THIS SIDE OF TOWN IT KIND OF GRAVITATED TOWARD AN OPENING WHEN BOBBY MAY WENT TO KALE.

WHAT'S GOING ON AT TWO 6014?

>> SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE AT THE LIONS DEN TONIGHT WE ARE DOING SOMETHING NEW AND STREAMING A SECOND GAME WHICH WILL FEATURE THE CALLAWAY CAVALIERS VERSUS THE CEDARTOWN BULLDOGS.

YOU CAN WATCH IT LIVE NOW.

DOWNLOAD THE GPB SPORTS APP BY SCANNING THE CODE ON YOUR SCREEN DON'T FORGET TO STICK AROUND WHERE WE CHECK IN WITH COACHES ALL AROUND THE STATE.

TAKE AWAY.

>> HANNAH, THANK YOU.

SPEAKING OF THE QR CODE, WATCHING THE GAME TONIGHT, GO TO THE QR CODE RIGHT ON YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW, SCAN IT, AND PICK THE WINNER OF TONIGHT'S GAME AND TELL US WHO YOU THINK IS GOING TO WIN THIS BATTLE.

SO READY FOR THE OPENING KICKOFF IN THE OPENING KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU ON BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

BUCKLE UP GEORGIA SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.

SO WESTLAKE WON THE OPENING TOSS AND THEY HAVE DEFERRED WHICH MEANS WE WILL SEE CRISP COUNTY ON OFFENSE TO START THE GAME.

WALKER AND DESHAUN FEDD STANDING DEEP AND CRISP WILL START AT THE 35 YARD LINE.

>> WAYNE: YOU HAVE TO WONDER, IS THAT THE FEAR THAT WALKER BRINGS?

TWO BIG RETURNS LAST WEEK.

TWO BIG RETURNS LAST WEEK IN THE KICKING GAME AND RIGHT THERE, CAUSING A PENALTY WHICH GATES --BRINGS THEM GREAT FIELD POSITION.

>> Matt: THERE'S AHMAD BROWN, ALSO THE STARTER AT SAFETY.

MINIMAL STATS LAST WEEK IN THE SEASON-OPENING WIN THROWING FOR JUST 42 YARDS, THREE OF 10, 5 FOR 36 IN THE RUSHING DEPARTMENT.

CHATFIELD WILL LINEUP BEHIND HIM.

OR, THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE HIM KICK IT OVER.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LINEUP AND DO BUSINESS BUT THEY HAVE OPTIONS.

OR DID THEY NOT HAVE A PENALTY?

BECAUSE THEY ARE PUTTING THE BALL, SO THEY ARE BACKING THEM UP AND MAKING THEM KICK IT AGAIN.

>> WAYNE: SMITH WANT TO THE BALL EARLY INTO WALKER'S HANDS TO GET HIM A CHANCE TO RETURN AND MAYBE GET BETTER FIELD POSITION BUT THAT'S THE KIND OF PLAYER HE IS BACK THERE, RETURNING BALLS.

>> Matt: OMAR CAMARA SET TO KICK IT OFF AGAIN.

THAT'S BROWN AT THE 15 WHO TURNS THE CORNER, OUT OF BOUNDS ABOUT THE 22 OR 23 SO THAT IS WHERE CRISP COUNTY WILL START ON OFFENSE SO THE DECISION TO MAKE THEM KICK AGAIN DID NOT PAY OFF.

>> WAYNE: THAT'S THE KIND OF PLAYER HE IS.

THE STARTING QUARTERBACK RETURNING KICK AND WE KNOW WHAT HE CAN DO AT THE SAFETY POSITION.

THEY COUNT ON HIM TO MAKE PLAYS AND GET THE BALL IN MANY WAYS STARTING OFF THE GAME WITH A SOLID RETURN.

INTERESTING DECISION AS HE SAID, BY COACH SMITH.

>> WAYNE: ON THAT WAY SHOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN THE BALL.

ONLY 196 YARDS OF OFFENSE AND THERE'S A THREE LAST WEEK AND THEY WERE OUTPLAYED TO 61 -96.

>> WAYNE: WATCH TO THIS OFFENSIVE LINE.

THEY WILL TRY TO TAKE THIS GAME OVER EARLY.

>> Matt: SO CHATFIELD WHO RUSHED FOR 103 YARDS LAST WEEK LINES UP IN THE BACKFIELD NEXT TO BROWN.

FIRST HAND OFF AND NO GAIN.

MAYBE A YARD AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT STARTING LINEUPS BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS BANK.

BARRY WALKER AT THE LEFT TACKLE POSITION.

6' 2 ", 325.

WILLIAMS, OLIVER AND LAUGHTON WHO IS A TWO-WAY STARTER BY THE WAY.

THEN WALKER, SMITH, DESHAUN FEDD, AND TROUTMAN THE TIGHT END.

>> Wayne: EARLY SHIFTING BY WESTLAKE.

WATCH FOR THEM TO DO A LOT OF MOVEMENTS.

THIS GREAT SECONDARY.

THEY PLAY AGGRESSIVE OFF IN THE FRONT 7.

>> Matt: BAD SNAP, BROWN GETS ON TOP OF THEM AND THAT WILL BE A BIG LOSS FOR CRISP.

>> Wayne: THE BALL ROLLED ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE QUARTERBACK, NEVER REALLY GOT INTO THE AIR.

YOU CAN SEE FOR US LIGHTS LIKE AN--A SLIGHT SECOND HE PICKED IT UP AND DID THE RIGHT THING.

A LOT OF PRESSURE JUST A COVER- UP THE BALL.

>> Matt: AND 11 YARD LOSS ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: GREAT JOB SO FAR IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR BROWN AT QUARTERBACK.

NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE TO ROW --AVIEON TERREL BUT THEY HAVE CORNERS THAT ARE DANGEROUS THROWING THE BALL IN THESE SITUATIONS.

BERNARD JONES OUR REFEREE TONIGHT AND HERE'S A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE OFFICIATING CREW.

>> Wayne: RIGHT NOW WATCH THIS OFFENSE.

SOMETHING SAFE, GET OUT AT 3rd AND 27.

THERE'S REALLY NO 3rd AND 27 PLAYS IN THIS TYPE OF SITUATION.

>> Matt: BROWN IS GOING TO GO DOWN AT THE ONE -YARD LINE.

A QUARTERBACK SACK FOR THE LIONS.

>> Wayne: AHMAD JOHNSON.

COMING IN UNTOUCHED.

NUMBER 7 BARRELING DOWN ON BROWN HERE.

A BIG HOLE IN THE MIDDLE.

JUST NO ONE IS THERE TO PICK HIM UP AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IN THESE KINDS OF PLAYS.

YOU WANT A QUARTERBACK SNEAK GENTLEMEN IN THE FACE OF AJ BROWN.

>> Matt: SO NOT ONLY DID CHRIS MAKE THE WRONG DECISION NOT TAKING THE PENALTY, THEY LOST 23 YARDS AND NOW THEY ARE KICKING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE END ZONE.

THEY HAVE A GREAT KICKER IN DAVID MITCHELL BUT HE IS STANDING ON THE BACK LINE.

A LINE DRIVE KICK AND IT'S GOING TO HIT AT THE 36, TAKE A BOUNCE, AND SHIELD IT AT THE 50 YARD LINE.

GREAT RETURN OPPORTUNITY.

AVIEON TERREL INSIDE THE 25 YARD LINE >> Wayne: GREAT JOB BY AVIEON TERREL GETTING THE BALL, GETTING UP FIELD AND AS YOU CAN SEE TRYING TO USE SPEED TO MAKE THE DEFENSE HAVE TO COVER HIM AND THAT'S THE KIND OF DYNAMIC LAYER THAT HE IS.

HE'S ON THE FIELD RIGHT NOW, MUST BE A LITTLE INJURED.

>> Matt: AVIEON TERREL COMMITTED TO CLEMSON, OVER 21+ OFFERS, RANKED THE 21st IN THE NATION.

OVER 500 YARDS RUSHING.

58 TOUCHDOWN PASSES, 59 WITH THE PASS HE THREW LAST WEEK.

THERE'S JAI'DEN THOMAS DOWN TO THE 15 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: QUICK CUT, NICE JOB ON THE LEFT SIDE, HITTING OUT OF THE TACKLE.

FOX, THAT IS THE SPEED WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

ONLY 175 BUT HE RUNS ABOUT 210 -2 HUNDRED 15 AND HITS THE LINE QUICKLY.

>> Matt: SO 2nd DOWN AND ONE BACK AFTER A 9-YARD PICK UP ON HIS FIRST CARRY.

1st DOWN, JOHNSON STEPS OUT OF PENALTY FLAG DOWN ON THE FIELD.

>> Wayne: NICE READ BY RJ JOHNSON.

A LITTLE LIMP AS HE COMES BACK TO THE HUDDLE.

>> Matt: I BELIEVE WE HAVE HOLDING ON THIS PLAY THAT WILL RELEASE AND 8-YARD RUN.

THIS IS A BRAND-NEW OFFENSIVE LINE.

THEY HAVE ONLY ONE RETURNING STARTER FROM LAST YEAR AND THAT IS THE SOPHOMORE LESS TACKLE -- LEFT TACKLE.

>> Wayne: HE'S DOING SOME SHUFFLING ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST FIVE UP FRONT BUT THEY STILL HAVE A LOT OF SIZE AND THE ONE THING THAT HE SAYS HIS TO GIVE A LOT OF EFFORT AND SOMETIMES AS THE QUARTERBACK OR RUNNING BACK IS BOUNCING OUT IS A TACKLE YOU PULL A LITTLE SHOULDER.

>> Matt: 2nd DOWN AND 7 INSIDE THE 10, TOUCHDOWN WESTLAKE.

>> Wayne: NICE PROTECTION, NICE POCKET TO GROW FROM FOR RJ JOHNSON THROWING THE QUICK STRIKE RIGHT THERE.

>> Matt: AHMAD BUTLER THE TIGHT END WITH A 20-YARD TOUCHDOWN RECEPTION.

>> Wayne: HE SAW THAT FROM THE SNAP AND THEN JUST BULLYING HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE IS THE BIG TIGHT END FOR THE SCORE.

>> Matt: SO THE ATTEMPT BY OMAR CAMARA.

THE HOLDER IS JAMES BANK AND THE KICK IS NO GOOD.

A 20 -YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM RJ JOHNSON TO AHMAD JOHNSON.

PASS OF HIS CAREER.

>>> TIME FOR THE $1500 DONATION TO OUR FRIENDS AT WESTLAKE.

WE HAD A LOT OF THEM TO CELEBRATE HERE ON FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA.

THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR OF WESTLAKE IS HANGING OUT WITH US.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT PARTER TO GPB.

>> WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW TO REPRESENT FOR US TONIGHT.

>> GREAT TO SEE OUR FRIENDS FROM WESTLAKE.

IT'S A $1500 DONATION FROM OUR FRIENDS FROM CIGNA.

FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA CONTINUES AFTER THIS.

>> Matt: SO A 6 -NOTHING LEAD FOR WESTLAKE.

THE SCORING DRIVE RUN TO YOU BY THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.

IT WAS A 24-YARD DRIVE AND THE TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM RJ JOHNSON TO AHMAD BUTLER THE TIGHT END.

A 6 -NOTHING LEAD AND A GREAT START FOR WESTLAKE WITH BOTH DRIVES STARTING IN THE 24 IT.

CRISP STARTED AT THEIR OWN 24, WENT BACKWARDS, AND WESTLAKE STARTED AT THE CRISP 24 AND SCORED IN THREE PLAYS.

>> Wayne: BEAUTIFUL READ BY RJ JOHNSON.

A POSTER OUT BY BUTLER GIVING HIM THE ABILITY TO MAKE SOME PEOPLE MISS AND RUN INTO THE SAFETY TO GET TO THE END ZONE.

>> Matt: SO THE KICKOFF IS GOING TO BE COMING DOWN AT THE ONE YARD LINE AND RETURNABLE.

THIS IS CHATFIELD WHO GETS STOPPED AT ABOUT THE 12 -YARD LINE SO ONCE AGAIN, VERY POOR FIELD POSITION FOR CRISP COUNTY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEYS TO THE GAME.

THE OFFICIAL PEST-CONTROL OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE IN THE RUN GAME.

THIS DEFENSE IS TO DYNAMIC IN THE SECONDARY.

FIELD WITH A BIG PLAY BUT YOU HAVE TO GET IT WITH THE LEGS OF THE RUNNING BACK AND ON DEFENSE FOR WESTLAKE IT'S ALL ABOUT COACH RICO ZACKERY AND EFFORT.

HE TALKS ABOUT PLAYING HARD AND THOSE ARE THE KIND OF PERSONNEL HE PUT OVER THERE TO PLAY HARD.

THEY ARE ALSO TALENTED ON THAT SIDE OF THE BALL.

>> Matt: HE TOLD US IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A HIGH MOTOR YOU CAN'T PLAY FOR US.

IF YOU CAN'T TAKE CONTACT, YOU CAN'T PLAY FOR US.

THEY'VE COME OUT SWINGING EARLY WITH JUST A NINE -YARD RETURN FOR CRISP COUNTY.

THEY ARE ALREADY DOWN A TOUCHDOWN.

CHATFIELD, NOT A LOT OF RUNNING ROOM.

HE GETS DROPPED BY AHMAD JOHNSON >> Wayne: AND EARLY ON YOU CAN SEE THIS WESTLAKE DEFENSE, THIS SECONDARY LINEBACKER COMES INTO THE LINE OR COMES ON TO THE END OF THE LINE.

THEY ARE NOT BACKING UP.

THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF CONFIDENCE IN THEIR SECOND HALF AND THE BACK HALF THAT THEY CAN PLAY MAN-TO-MAN AND ARE GOING TO BRING A LOT OF PRESSURE.

G AND ARE GOING TO BRING A LOT OF PRESSURE.

G1 2nd DOWN AND 9.

>> Matt: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINEUP FOR WESTLAKE.

YOU HAVE JOHNSON AND A MISS THE LINEBACKERS AND PETERSON THE NICKELBACK.

IN THE SECONDARY, MOSBY, WASHINGTON, AND OF COURSE AVIEON TERREL.

TWO NICE JOB GETTING UP FIELD.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE PLAYS AND USE HIS ATHLETIC ABILITY TO BREAK SOME TACKLES AS YOU SAW ON THAT LAST RUN.

>> Matt: NEED A 1st AND DOWN, NOT GOING TO GET IT.

ANOTHER SACK FOR THE LIONS.

JOHN BETTS THE JUNIOR RHINO COMES IN UNTOUCHED.

>> Wayne: THE SCARY THING ABOUT THIS IF YOU ARE CRISP COUNTY IS THAT GENERALLY THERE IS A HAT FOR A HAT.

WESTLAKE IS COMING.

CLEAN, MISCOMMUNICATION BY THE LEFT GUARD ON THE BLOCK.

GOING INSIDE HIS JOHN BETTS GETTING TO THE QUARTERBACK CLEANLY.

NICE JOB OF GETTING THAT KIND OF GUY DOWN ON THE GROUND BY YOURSELF.

>> Matt: MITCHELL HAS BEEN OFFERED BY SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE.

NEARLY GOT THE BLOCK.

AND TERREL WEIGHTS TO PICK IT UP AND THEN GOES RIGHT BETWEEN THE DEFENDERS AND SPINS OUT OF A TACKLE.

AND AVIEON TERREL STILL ON HIS BOUNDS AT THE 30 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY AVIEON TERREL FIELDING THE BALL, DOING A LITTLE DEION SANDERS, BAITING THE COVERAGE TEAM WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT TO PICK UP THE BALL AND NOW I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU EFFORT IN THE ATHLETIC TALENT.

BIG-TIME STIFF ARM TO GET ANOTHER TWO OR 3 YARDS.

YOU CAN SEE, IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF WHEN HE'S GOING TO PICK UP THE BALL AND SOCCER THE COVERAGE TEAM OUT OF THEIR LANES.

NICE RETURN BY HIM.

ALREADY SHOWING WHAT KIND OF TALENT IS HEADED UP TO CLEMSON.

>> Matt: 25 YARD RETURN, 1st AND 10 FROM THE 25 YARD LINE.

RIGHT ACROSS THE MIDDLE TO BUTLER AGAIN.

AHMAD BUTLER WITH HIS SECOND CATCH OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

>> Matt: HIGH SCREEN BY RJ JOHNSON, ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME PLAY THEY JUST SCORED ON.

A LITTLE POST ROUTE, WHAT A BODY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, STILL MAKING SAFETIES --FOR TRYING TO BRING HIM DOWN.

>> Matt: 1st AND 10.

THOMAS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT KEYS TO THE GAME BROUGHT TO BY THE OFFICIAL PEST-CONTROL OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> Wayne: WESTLAKE OFFENSE, DON'T YOURSELF.

WHEN THEY EXECUTE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH.

RJ JOHNSON IN COMPLETE CONTROL IN THIS GAME.

DON'T BEAT YOURSELF.

THIS DEFENSE, NOT A LOT OF SIZE.

THEY PLAY ON ATHLETIC ABILITY, THE QUICKNESS OF GETTING OFF THE BLOCK AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BEND BACK AND TRY TO STOP THIS RUN GAME.

>> Matt: 2nd AND 5 COMPLETE TO JABARI JONES, NUMBER 12.

>> Wayne: RJ JOHNSON, QUICK REED OPTION, GET THE BALL OUT OF YOUR HANDS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU LOVE WHEN YOU SEE THESE KINDS OF PLAYS.

DON'T TRY TO FIND A BODY.

JUST GET WHAT YOU CAN WITH A POSITIVE PLAY ON 1st AND DOWN.

>> Matt: 1st AND GOAL TO GO INSIDE THE 5.

THOMAS WILL GET STONEWALLED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

TACKLE.

>> Wayne: THIS DEFENSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET MULTIPLE BODIES TO THE BALL, RALLY, GET OFF OF THIS BIG OFFENSIVE LINE STARTING WITH THE BIG LEFT TACKLE COMING IN AT ABOUT 350 POUNDS.

THEY CANNOT JUST CONTINUE TO LET THE LINE POUND AND PUSH ON HIM.

IT'S GOING TO WEAR HIM DOWN AS THE GAME GOES ON.

>> Matt: HE HAS THREE CARRIES FOR 14 YARDS AT 2nd DOWN AND GOAL.

>> Matt: JOHNSON OPERATING THIS OFFENSE.

HE KNOWS WHERE HE WANTS TO GO WITH THE BALL.

>> Matt: SHANE THOMAS GETS INTO THE END ZONE BUT THERE'S A FLAG ON THE FIELD SO WE WILL CHECK TO SEE IF THE TOUCHDOWN STANDS ARE NOT.

>> Wayne: IS THAT AN ILLEGAL PROCEDURE?

TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE BACKFIELD?

MAYBE IT WAS A RECEIVER NOT UP ON THE BALL AT THE TIME OF THE SNAP.

>> Matt: SO THAT'S GOING TO BACK THEM UP TO THE 8 -YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: CRISP COUNTY.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON RJ JOHNSON.

HE PUT SOME YARDAGE UP RUNNING WHEN HE NEEDED TO RUN THE BALL.

CAN'T TAKE YOUR I OFF HIM ON THESE SITUATIONS.

>> Matt: HE RUSHED FOR 11 TOUCHDOWNS IN HIS CAREER.

HE SHEDS THE TACKLE AND GETS INTO THE END ZONE FOR ANOTHER WESTLAKE TOUCHDOWN.

>> Wayne: WE TALKED ABOUT RJ JOHNSON AND HIS COACH SAYING THAT HE'S TRYING TO LEARN THIS OFFENSE.

I CAN'T TELL THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW IT MAKING QUICK EARLY LEADS AS MAN-TO-MAN IS OUT ON THOMAS AND BREAKING THE TACKLE.

THE LITTLE MAN WITH THE BIG GAME GETTING INTO THE END ZONE.

>> Matt: YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT WHEN YOU SAID HE RUNS LIKE HE'S 220.

>> Wayne: POWERFUL.

GOING WITH A LITTLE FAKE ACTION.

>> Matt: AND THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION TRY BUT WESTLAKE HAS JUMPED ON CRISP COUNTY HERE IN ATLANTA WITH A 12 -NOTHING LEAD LATE IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

>> Matt: YOU SEE WESTLAKE IN STUDY HALL RIGHT NOW.

THE SECOND SCREEN TONIGHT IS IN CEDARTOWN.

LATE FIRST QUARTER.

CEDARTOWN HAS THE TOUCHDOWN ON THE BOARD AND THEY ARE LEADING THE CAVALIERS OF CALLAWAY BY A SCORE OF 7-NOTHING.

YOU CAN GO TO THAT GAME ON WWW.GPB.ORG AND HAVE BOTH GAMES UP HOWEVER LONG YOU WANT TO WATCH THEM.

THE OFFICIAL PEST-CONTROL OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

SO SENIOR TOWN AND WESTLAKE, TWO SCREENS TONIGHT.

3:15 TO GO IN THE FIRST.

TAKE IT AWAY.

>> Matt: WE BELIEVE IN GIVING THE PEOPLE OPTIONS.

WESTLAKE A 12 HIGH FOR NOTHING LEAD ON CRISP COUNTY WITH -24 YARDS ON FIVE PLATES.

PLACE.

>> Wayne: VERY WELL EXECUTED OFFENSE SO FAR AND THE DEFENSE IS BEING AGGRESSIVE NOT GIVING THEM ANY ROOM TO MAKE PLAYS.

>> Matt: THEY ARE GOING TO RULE THAT A TOUCHBACK.

SIX PLAYS IN 29 YARDS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNORS RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.

THEY'VE HAD TWO TOUCHDOWN DRIVES OF 24 YARDS AND 29 YARDS.

YOU JUST CANNOT LIVE LIKE THAT.

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT TO THAT DEFENSE.

THEY ARE NOT LETTING THEM GET ANY ROOM, NO PLAYS IN THE BACKFIELD, PLAY AFTER PLAY AND THE OFFENSE IS COMING OUT WITH A LOT OF ENERGY AND EXECUTING AND DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING A DEFENSIVE GAME.

CLOSEOUT DRIVES WITH TOUCHDOWNS.

>> Matt: AJ BROWN HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYTHING GOING SO FAR.

>> Wayne: JUST FOUR OR 5 YARDS ON 1st DOWN TO TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF AJ BROWN.

>> Matt: HE WAS A STARTER HIS SOPHOMORE YEAR.

THEY USED HIM PRIMARILY AS WIDE RECEIVER AND RUNNING BACK LAST YEAR.

THEY CANNOT GET OUT OF THEIR OWN WAY RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S SMITH, THE FIRST-YEAR HEAD COACH, OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR LAST YEAR WITH THE TEAM THAT GOT TO THE QUARTERFINALS BEFORE LOSING TO CEDAR GROVE.

HE COACHED AT CEDAR GROVE ALONG WITH MIGUEL PATRICK AND JIMMY SMITH.

BOTH OF THOSE GUYS WERE PROMOTED TO COLLEGE COACHING JOBS.

>> Wayne: YOUR OFFENSE JUST BEATING ITSELF IN SO MANY WAYS.

HE MUST BE SO FRUSTRATED.

IT'S ALWAYS TOUGH AS A DEFENDER WHEN TO PULL UP IN THESE SITUATIONS.

YOU HUSTLE TO THE BALL, THE QUARTERBACK IS KIND OF GIVING YOU THIS IDEA, GOING OUT OF BOUNDS BUT IS HE BEING A LITTLE TOO AGGRESSIVE ON THE CORNER?

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE SIDELINE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN HE'S GOING TO CUT UP FIELD.

>> Wayne: ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A LATE HIT LIKE RIGHT THERE BY JOHNSON.

>> Referee: 15 YARD PENALTY WHICH WILL RESULT IN A 1st DOWN.

>> Matt: PERHAPS THAT WILL BE THE SPARK THAT THIS COUNTY NEEDS.

>> Wayne: THAT'S ONE OF THE PLAYS WERE THE DEFENDERS HAVE DECIDED IT'S MINE.

>> Matt: I RAN TOO FAR NOT TO HIT ANYBODY.

THAT BRINGS THE BALL TO THE 31 YARD LINE.

THIRD PENALTY ON WESTLAKE.

YOU SAID RICO ZACKERY LOOKING AT AHMAD JOHNSON AND POINTING AT HIS HEAD.

USE YOUR HEAD.

>> Wayne: THEY ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE DOWN MARKER.

IT READS THIRD BUT SHOULD READ FIRST.

>> Matt: THE SEASON-OPENING VICTORY, RIVALRY TO THE COUNTY NORTH OF THEM.

IT WAS A TOUGHER GAME THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY HAVE ANTICIPATED.

NOTHING DOING THERE.

>> Wayne: A LOT OF BODIES TO THE BALL AND BRINGING PRESSURE.

IT IS SEVEN OR EIGHT BODIES IN THE BOX.

THEY ARE GOING TO CHALLENGE THIS OFFENSE AND AJ BROWN TO THROW THE BALL AND THEY HAVE THE SECONDARY TO DO IT.

THEY HAVE NO ISSUE WITH MAN-TO- MAN OUT ON THE CORNERS BRINGING PRESSURE.

>> Matt: 2nd DOWN AND 13.

CHATFIELD DROPS IT.

GOING TO BE 3rd DOWN.

>> Wayne: SNIPPING THAT OUT AND EVEN WITH A COMPLETED PASS TO CHATFIELD, MOST LIKELY WAS GOING TO BE A PLAY FOR A LOSS AND JUST LOOK AT THE BODY POSITION AT LEAST IN THIS QUARTER.

THEY COUNT IT DOWN AND SOMEWHERE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BRING SOME ENERGY.

>> Matt: THIS IS ONE OF THE GAMES WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE WESTLAKE IS PLAYING WITH 14 OR 15 GUYS ON DEFENSE AND YOU ONLY HAVE 11.

THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT SEEMS.

THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

>> Wayne: NO REAL TEMPO AND THEY ARE BRINGING PRESSURE OFF OF THE EDGE AND UP THE MIDDLE.

ONCE AGAIN RIGHT HERE.

>> Matt: THE THIRD QUARTERBACK SACK OF THE QUARTER AS AHMAD JOHNSON GETS TO THE QUARTERBACK FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS GAME.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB COMING OFF OF THE EDGE.

GETTING RID OF CHATFIELD.

PRETTY GOOD LINEBACKER PICK UP GUY FROM THE BACKFIELD BUT JUST A NEW TEMPO, BETTER TEMPO, HIGHER TEMPO FOR THIS LIONS DEFENSE RIGHT NOW THAN CRISP COUNTY CAN HANDLE.

>> Matt: SIX OFFERS INCLUDING MIDDLE CAROLINA, EAST TENNESSEE, AND TOLEDO.

SECOND YEAR STARTER.

HE WAS ACTUALLY A CONVERTED WIDE RECEIVER.

>> Wayne: WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT.

MIDDLE LINEBACKER.

THEY TYPICALLY MOVED TO SAFETY OR CORNER.

BUT YOU SEE HOW HE'S PLAYING WITH A LOT OF HEAT.

TIMEOUT CRISP COUNTY.

FIRST TIMEOUT OF THE HALF.

>> Matt: SO 1:23 TO PLAY IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

IT HAS BEEN ALL WESTLAKE AS CRISP HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE SPEED OF THIS DEFENSE RIGHT NOW.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE TEAM RESUME FOR CRISP COUNTY.

WIN BY LEARNING ABOUT SAFE USAGE OF PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS.

THE 2019 FINALS, LOST TO CEDAR GROVE IN 2016 AND 2020.

IN FACT, THEY PLAYED PETER GROVE THE LAST THREE YEARS.

THEY HAVE WON THE REGION FIVE OF THE LAST SIX YEARS.

QUAID WALKER NOW A ROOKIE FOR THE GREEN BAY PACKERS START WITH THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS TEAM.

>> Wayne: I DID NOT KNOW THAT, FROM CRISP COUNTY.

>> Matt: COMING DOWN AT THE 36, LET'S SEE IF AVIEON TERREL SCOOPS IT UP.

THE BALL IS GOING TO ROLL DEAD AT THE 49 YARD LINE SO THIS WILL BE THE WORST FIELD POSITION FOR THEM SO FAR IN THIS GAME AND IT IS STILL ON THE OPPOSITION SIDE OF THE 50 -YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: RIGHT NOW IN THE FIRST QUARTER, THE PLAYER OF THE GAME.

THEY ARE NOT GIVING THIS OFFENSE ROOM OTHER THAN A PERSONAL FOUL.

NO REAL YARDAGE GAINED IN ANY THE OFFENSE.

>> Matt: JOHNSON IS 4 FOR 4 IN THIS GAME SO FAR.

TIGHT END GOING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER ON 1st AND 10 AND THOMAS GETS STOPPED BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINEUPS.

YOU HAVE GASTON UPFRONT, 6' 8 ", 248, SON OF THE GEORGIA TECH BASKETBALL STAR.

THEN BARRINGTON, CHEVANNES, JOHNSON AND STUART.

THOMAS, SMITH, WILLIAMS, JONES, BUTLER ARE THE GUYS WHO GET THE BALL.

THOMPSON GETS AWAY WITH IT AND TAKING A LOSS BACK AT THE 49 YARD LINE.

OUT OF PRESSURE BY RJ JOHNSON.

BEING A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE ON THIS SET OF DOWNS AS CRISP COUNTY IS COMING RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE AND BLOCK.

A SPIN OUT OF THE TACKLE SHOWING YOU SOME OF THAT ATHLETIC ABILITY.

FIRST 3rd AND LONG THAT WE HAVE SEEN FOR THIS OFFENSE.

>> Matt: THAT WAS TROUTMAN COMING UP THE MIDDLE.

JOHNSON TO THE FAR SIDE AND THAT WILL BE A 1st DOWN AND MORE.

INSIDE THE 30.

INSIDE THE 10.

AND AHMAD BUTLER THE TIGHT END WITH HIS THIRD CATCH OF THE QUARTER, 47 YARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: ONCE AGAIN FINDING HIS TARGET TONIGHT WHICH IS AHMAD BUTLER.

THIS TIME, OUT BY THE SIDELINES.

GOOD BLOCK BY THE RECEIVER JAMES BANKS.

A KEY BLOCK TO GET HIM UP FIELD.

WHAT A FIRST QUARTER HE'S HAVING.

>> Matt: AMIR DWIGHT MAKING THAT TACKLE.

12 -NOTHING LEAD AFTER 12 MINUTES AND THEY ARE THREATENING TO SCORE AGAIN.

TWO TOUCHDOWNS AS WE HEAD TO THE SECOND QUARTER.

>> Matt: THE START OF THE SECOND QUARTER, WESTLAKE LEADING 12 -NOTHING AND WITH 12 MINUTES TO PLAY, MATT STEWART WAYNE GANDY, JOHN NELSON.

>> Wayne: RJ JOHNSON AND AHMAD BUTLER HAVING A BIG FIRST QUARTER AND NOW IN THE THIRD POSSESSION, PRIMED TO GO INTO THE END ZONE FOR THEIR THIRD TOUCHDOWN.

>> Matt: NOW BUTLER, THREE CATCHES FOR 81 YARDS IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

THE HAND OFF, JADEN THOMAS IS INTO SCORE AND IT'S 18 - NOTHING WESTLAKE.

THOMAS WITH HIS SECOND TOUCHDOWN OF THE NIGHT.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY THOMAS.

A LITTLE PAUSE ON THIS RUN.

HE HAS BEEN HITTING THE LINE QUICK ALL NIGHT LONG HERE.

A LITTLE DRAW ACTION, GOOD BLOCKING UP FRONT AND A WALK UNTOUCHED FOR JAI'DEN THOMAS IS ALSO HAVING AN EARLY BIG GAME FOR THIS WESTLAKE OFFENSE.

>> Matt: THEY WILL GO FOR THE SINGLE POINT WHICH WILL BE UP AND GOOD AND A 19 -NOTHING LEAD FOR WESTLAKE.

HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT TOUCHDOWN BY, HIS SECOND OF THE NIGHT.

>> Wayne: PETERS, NICE READ, NICE VISION BY JAI'DEN THOMAS.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THOSE SITUATIONS TYPICALLY YOU PUT A BIGGER BACKEND IN THE GOAL LINE BUT HE RUNS WITH THAT POWERFUL BACK KIND OF STYLE AT 5'9".

>> Matt: FIVE PLAYS, 49 YARDS AND TAKES HIM ONLY 77 SECONDS.

WHAT CAN CRISP COUNTY DO?

>> Wayne: IT'S ONE OF THOSE GAMES WHERE YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY ONE PLAY AT A TIME AND AS I TALKED ABOUT, IF YOU ARE COACH SMITH, START HOUSING -- HAVING POSITIVE 1st DOWNS.

THEY ARE PLAYING WITH PRESSURE, PLAYING WITH SPEED.

MAYBE HAVE TO START GETTING SOME BALLS OUT ON THE EDGE TO MAKE THEM HAVE TO SPRINT OUT TO THE END.

RIGHT NOW WORKING THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD IS NOT WORKING FOR THIS COUGAR OFFENSE.

>> Matt: -19 YARDS TO WESTLAKE'S 117 AFTER 12 MINUTES AND FIVE SECONDS.

OMAR CAMARA SET TO KICK OFF AGAIN AND THIS IS GOING TO GO OUT OF BOUNDS.

SEE IF THEY TAKE IT AT THE 35 THIS TIME.

>> Wayne: SOMETHING TELLS ME THEY WILL.

STILL HAVING SOME DISCUSSIONS.

>> ILLEGAL KICK OUT OF BOUNDS ON THE KICKING TEAM.

5 YARD PENALTY, FREE KICK.

>> GOING TO MAKE THEM KICK AGAIN.

>> Wayne: TAKING A GAMBLE AGAIN TRUSTING SPECIAL-TEAMS.

THEY HAD TWO BIG KICKOFF RETURNS SO FAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO THEY'VE TRIED.

>> Matt: FOUR PENALTIES ON WESTLAKE FOR 40 YARDS.

THE KICK IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND THE PICK UP AT THE 25 YARD LINE.

DOWN IMMEDIATELY BY TRAE WALKER.

ABOUT A FIVE OR 6 YARD RETURN.

AND AGAIN THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TAKING THE BALL AT THE 35.

>> Wayne: AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN WALKER HAVE A BIG GAME.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE FIELD, YOU HAVE TO START PLAYING THE GAME.

AND START TRYING TO HAVE SOME POSITIVE FIRST PLACE ON THE REPLAY.

NICE JOB GETTING UP THE FIELD BUT LOOK AT THE ENERGY GETTING TO THE BALL QUICKLY WITH THIS COVERAGE TEAM.

>> Matt: BRYSON OLIVER AND AJ BROWN GOES BACK OUT THERE.

LET'S SEE IF BROWN CAN GET SOMETHING GOING.

FIVE CARRIES, -17 YARDS FOR BROWN.

IN THE BACKFIELD, ANOTHER TFL FOR THE WESTLAKE DEFENSE.

>> Wayne: SO FAR IN THIS GAME, SOMEONE IS IN THE BACKFIELD READING THE BLOCK COMING IN BETWEEN THE ZONE BLOCK.

THE DALLAS HOOKS.

THAT HAS BEEN THE KEY TO THE DEFENSE.

THEY ARE PLAYING ON THE CRISP COUNTY SIDE OF THE BALL AND ARE NOT HAVING EARLY SUCCESS PUTTING THE OFFENSE IN A BAD SITUATION AS YOU CAN SEE HIM SHOWING A LITTLE CORNER BLITZ.

>> Matt: MORE NEGATIVE YARDAGE FOR CRISP COUNTY.

WALKER IS GOING TO TAKE A LOSS.

>> Wayne: THIS WESTLAKE DEFENSE, A LECTURE YOU CAN HAVE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND REALLY NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE ON.

YOU CAN HAVE A SECONDARY THAT YOU CAN TRUST, THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SWITCH IT UP AND BRING PRESSURE.

COMING WITH THE CORNER BLITZ, GOOD TACKLING ON THE EDGES AND IT'S 3rd AND 14, A SITUATION THAT THE OFFENSE IS NOT MEANT TO MAKE.

>> Matt: THE LIONS BRINGING PRESSURE AGAIN.

BROWN SCRAMBLING AND THE HIT AT THE OF BOUNDS.

WHAT A HIT.

DEMARIUS HINES THE BANDIT SAFETY.

>> Wayne: GETTING OUTSIDE OF THE CONTAINED.

FOR AN OLD-SCHOOL GUY THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL FOOTBALL AROUND THE WORLD.

BIG HIT, A CLEAN HIT IN THE FIELD OF PLAY KNOCKING AJ BROWN OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> Matt: 4th DOWN, FOURTH PUNT FOR DAVID MITCHELL.

>> Matt: THIS OFFENSE HAS TO GO TO THE SIDELINE.

SMITH IS GOING TO HAVE TO DIAL UP SOMETHING IN HIS PLAYCALLING AND SET DOWN ON THE PRESSURE.

>> Matt: AVIEON TERREL WITH TACKLES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 30 YARD LINE.

GRABS HIS HELMET.

HOPEFULLY HE'S OKAY BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW DYNAMIC AVIEON TERREL IS WITH THE BALL IN HIS HANDS IN AN OPEN FIELD.

AVIEON TERREL, THE FOUR -STAR COMMIT TO THE CLEMSON TIGERS.

DYNAMIC IN THE KICK RETURN GAME.

>> Matt: TO GO IN THE FIRST HALF.

A DOMINANT FIRST HALF BY THE LIONS AND A REMINDER THAT THIS IS A TWO-SCREEN EXPERIENCE ALL SEASON LONG.

NOT JUST ACTION GOING ON AT THE LIONS DEN BUT WE CAN TAKE YOU TO CEDARTOWN WHERE CEDARTOWN IS TAKING ON CALLAWAY AFTER LOSING IN A ONE -POINT GAME LAST WEEK.

THE BULLDOGS ARE UP 14 -NOTHING AND A REMINDER THAT OUR LIVE LOOK TONIGHT.

A TWO-SCREEN EXPERIENCE AND TONIGHT IT IS IN WESTLAKE AND ALSO IN CEDARTOWN WITH GLOBETROTTER GREG.

TO THE AIR THEY GO INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE AND DOWN TO THE FIVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL STRIKE FROM RJ JOHNSON TO JABARI JONES.

>> Wayne: ONCE AGAIN, RJ JOHNSON.

KNOWS WHERE HE WANTS TO GO WITH THE BALL.

GETTING IT OUT OF HIS HANDS, GOOD PROTECTION UP FRONT AND 1st AND GOAL ARE THE LIONS.

>> Matt: 6 FOR 6 124 YARDS.

SEVEN 1st DOWNS FOR WESTLAKE.

1st AND GOAL TO GO FOR THE LIONS.

THOMAS IS GOING TO RACE TO THE PYLON.

THE STIFF ARM AND THE TOUCHDOWN.

THIRD OF THE NIGHT FOR JAI'DEN THOMAS.

>> Wayne: AND THIS PLAY IS ALL JAI'DEN THOMAS AS WE TALKED ABOUT.

5'9" 175.

TWO DEFENDERS STANDING IN THE BACKFIELD WHEN HE GETS THIS BALL AND SHOWING YOU THE QUICKNESS.

LOOK AT THE TECHNIQUE SWITCHING HANDS PUTTING IT INTO THE OUTSIDE HAND AND GETTING INTO THE END ZONE.

>> Matt: IT IS 26 -NOTHING WESTLAKE, JUST 15 MINUTES INTO THIS GAME.

>> Wayne: TWO MEN IN HIS FACE, GETTING OUT OF THE TACKLE TO GET TO THE EDGE.

GOOD VISION, GREAT FEET.

THE COW HE'S WALKING TO THE SIDELINE LIKE YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I DO.

I SCORE TOUCHDOWNS IN BIG-TIME GAMES.

>> Matt: THREE OF THEM ALREADY FOR HIM TONIGHT.

SCORING DRIVE BROUGHT TO BY THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.

A 33-YARD DRIVE TO SET UP BY ANOTHER 25+ YARD PUNT RETURN BY AVIEON TERREL.

>> Wayne: HEADED TO CLEMSON.

SHOULD BE A LOT OF TALENT.

WE KNOW THAT HE'S A DEEP THREAT RECEIVER BUT RIGHT NOW HIS BIGGEST EFFECT ON THIS GAME IS OUTSIDE OF SHUTDOWN CORNER.

IT IS YARDAGE AND THE FIELD POSITION ON THE PUNT RETURN.

DOMINATING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW.

CRISP COUNTY IS YET TO EVEN GET A 1st DOWN AND HAS NEGATIVE YARDAGE RIGHT NOW.

>> Wayne: THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS PRESSURE.

THEY ARE CONTINUOUSLY STANDING ON THE LINE AND BRINGING PRESSURE.

MADE SOME TRAPS TO THE OFFENSIVE LINE, GETTING PLAYS ON THE EDGE AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY MAN-TO-MAN YOU HAVE TO CATCH HIM DOWN THE FIELD.

ACROSS THE 35 AND THE 40 AND THE FIRST BIG PLAY IS A 34 YARD RETURN.

HERE'S THE WESTLAKE RESUME.

IN 2021 THEY WERE QUARTER SEMI FINALIST IN 2020.

NOW THEY ARE BACK IN SEVEN A.

WON SEVEN STRAIGHT REGION TITLES 41 AND 3 THE RECORD OVER THE YEARS SINCE 2014 AND THEY HAVE BEEN TO THE PLAYOFFS NINE STRAIGHT YEARS.

LEARN ABOUT SAFE USAGE OF PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO SPLIT OUT AJ BROWN AND BRING ON MARKEVION HARTAGE.

>> Wayne: FIRST PLAY IN WORD FOR AVIEON TERREL AND HE MAY FEEL A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THIS DRIVE.

>> Matt: KEEPS THE BALL TO THE FAR SIDE LINE AND INCOMPLETE THROWING OVER THE HEAD OF LADARIUS SMITH.

>> Wayne: JUST NOT ABLE TO COME ONLY A SOPHOMORE, LEARNING HIS WAY ONTO THE FIELD.

WE EXPECTED HIM TO GET INTO THE GAME AND GIVE AJ BROWN A LITTLE REST.

>> Matt: I WAS WONDERING WHEN THEY WOULD PULL THE TRIGGER.

THE ISSUE IS NOT WITH AJ BROWN, IT'S THAT HE HAS NO TIME SO IT'S A BLOCKING ISSUE, A PROTECTION ISSUE.

>> Wayne: BETTER USAGE, MAYBE BE OUT ON THE EDGE AND FIND WAYS TO GET THE BALL TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE.

>> Matt: INCOMPLETE AND WAS LOOKING FOR BROWN ON THE NEAR SIDE LINE.

>> Wayne: SWITCHING IT UP ON THE YOUNG DEFENSE.

SEEING ALL THAT MAN-TO-MAN, HE FIGURED I'M GOING TO GO DOWN THE FIELD RIGHT HERE.

AND BREAK ZONE COVERAGE ON THE BACKEND BY THE SECONDARY.

>> Matt: SO NOW IT'S 3rd DOWN AND 10.

>> Matt: THIS IS WHAT THEY'VE DONE, FORCE THE OFFENSE INTO 3rd AND LONG AND HAVE DOMINATED IT AND KEPT IT FROM GETTING 1st DOWN.

>> Matt: CRISP IS 0 FOR 4 ON 3rd DOWN CONVERSIONS BECAUSE 3rd AND 10 HAS BEEN GOOD YARDAGE FOR THEM.

THEY HAVE BEEN 3rd AND MUCH LONGER THAN THAT FOR A LONG TIME.

>> Wayne: HATS OFF TO THIS DEFENSE.

HE COMES TO KENNESAW STATE AND BROUGHT THAT DEFENSE TO PLAY.

HE SAYS THEY ARE QUICK TO LEARN, PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL AND AS WE HAVE SEEN, HE LIKES EFFORT AND HE LIKES HITTING AND THAT'S WHAT HE HAS SO FAR IN THIS GAME BY THE DEFENSE.

>> Matt: WESTLAKE HAS PUT 11 PLAYERS IN THE NFL.

THAT WAS LED BY CAM NEWTON.

AJ TERREL WITH THE ATLANTA FALCONS.

De'AARON FOX, TOM JONES, KEITH ADAMS THE FORMER CLEMSON STAR.

THEY ALL PLAYED AT LEAST SEVEN SEASONS OR MORE IN THE NFL.

>> Wayne: I HAVE TO SAY THAT-- >> Referee: FALSE START ON THE OFFENSE.

>> Matt: WHEN YOU ARE CAM NEWTON YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THE TOP OF THE LIST OF NFL ALUMNI.

>> Wayne: HE WAS ONE OF THOSE DYNAMIC PLAYERS THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT SHUTS YOU DOWN AT CORNER AND PUNISHES YOU WITH HIS RETURN GAME.

>> Matt: 3rd AND 15 NOW AND ANOTHER TIMEOUT CALLED BY CRISP.

THIRD AND FINAL TIMEOUT OF THE HALF.

>> Matt: SO ALL KINDS OF ISSUES AND WE WILL STEP ASIDE.

>> Matt: 7:54 LEFT IN THE FIRST HALF.

A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE HERE AGAINST CRISP.

CEDARTOWN LOOKING LIKE THEY MAY PUT ANOTHER SCORE ON THE BOARD AGAIN.

INSIDE THE RED ZONE ONE MORE TIME AGAINST CALLAWAY, SO IT'S 21 -NOTHING IN CEDARTOWN AND ANOTHER SCORE ON THE BOARD POSSIBLY IN SHORT ORDER THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING.

THE OFFICIAL PASS CONTROL OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE THAT WE'VE SEEN ON BOTH SCREENS TONIGHT.

>> Jon: STILL LOOKING FOR THE 1st DOWN.

IS A --THEY ARE 0 FOR 4 IN 1st DOWNS.

THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE OTHER 49 FOR A 1st DOWN.

>> Matt: HEAVY RUSH, THE BALL IS OUT AND GOING TO BE RECOVERED BY AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN.

OR MAYBE NOT.

LET'S SEE WHO'S GOT IT >> Wayne: BIG-TIME OFF OF THE EDGE PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN WITH A BIG HIT.

JOHN BETTS SLIDING TO THE LEFT.

SEMAJ CHATFIELD SLIDING LEFT.

BIG-TIME COLLISION.

NEVER SAW HIM COMING OFF OF THAT EDGE.

FORTUNATE FOR CRISP COUNTY TO GET THIS PUNT GOING TO SAVE YARDAGE.

>> Matt: THIS WILL BE RETURNABLE FROM THE 35.

AND THAT IS A TOUCHDOWN FOR TERREL.

A 65 YARD PUNT RETURN TOUCHDOWN.

>> Wayne: SHOWING YOU ALL THE STARS.

WE'VE SEEN HIM EACH AND EVERY TIME ON PUNT RETURNS.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE.

HE TOUCHES HIS HELMET WHEN HE GETS TACKLED HERE.

THIS IS JUST ABOUT ROW SPEED AND ATHLETICISM.

OUT ON THE EDGE, I'M FASTER THAN YOU, I HAVE GREAT BALANCE, AND I WANT A TOUCHDOWN.

TOUCHDOWN.

>> Wayne: IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN A TOUCH TO GET HIM OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> Matt: 32 -NOTHING.

>> Wayne: NOW IT'S JUST KEEPING YOUR SPEED, YOUR BALANCE AND AS YOU SAID, TWO HANDS PUSHING IS NOT GOING TO GET HIM OUT OF BOUNDS.

WE KIND OF ALREADY SAW THIS COMING.

HE SEEMED LIKE HE WANTED THE SCOREBOARD TONIGHT.

IT WAS LIKE HE HAD A FEVER HE WAS GOING TO GET INTO THE END ZONE AND FINALLY GOT THERE.

>> Matt: I THINK HE HAS AT LEAST 150 YARDS IN PUNT RETURNS TONIGHT.

HE HAS HAD CLOSE TO TWO CLOSE TO 230-YARD RETURNS.

>> Matt: THAT WAS SOME GOOD BLOCKING TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE EDGE.

>> Matt: THE SPECIAL TEAM COORDINATOR FOR THE LIONS.

THE BALL CAN BE PICKED UP AT THE 10 -YARD LINE.

WALKER STOPS AT THE 27.

CRISP WILL BE ON OFFENSE.

>> Wayne: WE'VE SEEN ON THE COVERAGE TEAM, THE RETURN TEAM IS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND NOW THEY ARE BEING SHUT DOWN.

>> Matt: SO CRISP GOES BACK OUT ON OFFENSE.

UNLESS THEY GO OUT OF THE WAY TO BLOCK ALL THE PRESSURE COMING AT THEM THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE MUCH SUCCESS.

>> Wayne: THIS DEFENSE IS DIALED IN AND THEY ARE CHANGING UP COVERAGES, THEY HAVE A LOT OF MOVEMENT, THEY ARE HUNGRY.

WHEN THEY COME OFF OF THE EDGE THEY ARE COMING FAST, HARD, AND GOOD TACKLING BY THEM AS WELL.

>> Matt: NOTHING DOING FOR AJ BROWN WHO WAS LINED UP AT THE RUNNING BACK POSITION THAT TIME.

HE TAKES THE LOSS.

ACTUALLY THAT WAS CHATFIELD.

>> Wayne: 54 JUST PUSHING THE POCKET.

THE DEFENSIVE LINE IS TWO OR THREE STEPS IN THE BACKFIELD, BARELY ENOUGH ROOM TO HAND OFF THE BALL.

>> Wayne: TRYING TO GET THE AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE TO JUMP.

A VERY DISCIPLINED PLAY.

>> Matt: THAT IS A COMPLETION OF CLOSE TO THE 30 YARD LINE.

THEY ARE GOING TO RULE IT INCOMPLETE.

APPARENTLY SMITH COULD NOT HOLD ONTO IT.

>> Wayne: TIME TO GET THIS BALL TO TRAE WALKER SOMETIME DOWN THE EDGE ARE ON THE FIELD.

HE'S THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM WITH THE BALL IN HIS HANDS AND SO FAR, HAVE NOT REALLY SEEN HIM HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE OFFENSE.

>> Matt: NOT AT ALL.

3rd AND 15.

>> Matt: HARTAGE STANDS IN.

INCOMPLETE.

TRYING TO GO TO SMITH AGAIN AND IT'S 4th DOWN.

>> Wayne: TIGHT COVERAGE, 5'10", 5'11".

ONCE AGAIN THIS LIONS SMOTHERING DEFENSE SO FAR HAS NOT EVEN LET THE OFFENSE SMITH THEIR SIDE OF THE FIELD.

>> Matt: SO DAVID MITCHELL ON TO PUNT AGAIN.

I'M GUESSING HE GOT INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SIDELINE.

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TAKE IT TO NUMBER EIGHT.

>> Wayne: MIGHT BE TIME FOR A RUG THE STYLE KICK TO GET IT OUT.

>> Matt: DOWN ON THE GROUND, NO FLAG.

THEY KICK IT AWAY FROM TERREL, IT'S GOING TO ROLL DEAD AT THE 28 YARD LINE.

A 49-YARD KICK BY DAVID MITCHELL.

THAT WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE COUGARS SO FAR TONIGHT.

>> Wayne: I THINK ON THAT PLAY HE WAS NOT THERE TO EVEN TRY TO RETURN THE BALL.

5:35 LEFT IN THIS GAME.

THEY WILL HELP OUT THEIR TEAM WITH A TURNOVER, AND THE KIND OF LIFE TO GIVE THEIR OFFENSE A SHORTER FIELD AND MAYBE HAVE SOME SUCCESS.

>> Matt: SO 1st AND 10.

MAYBE CRISP CAN COME UP WITH A TURNOVER AND HELP THEMSELVES OUT ON OFFENSE.

HANDOFF GOES TO JAI'DEN THOMAS.

AROUND THE EDGE, THOMAS GETS SHOVED OUT OF BOUNDS AND ENDS UP BEING TRIPPED UP BY ONE OF HIS TEAMMATES ON THE SIDELINES.

>> Wayne: RIGHT NOW HE'S DOING JUST WHAT HIS COACH WANTS.

GOOD VISION, BOUNCES OUTSIDE, A LITTLE SHOULDER STEP TO GET THE DEFENDER TO PULL UP AND THEN HE TURNS ON THE JETS TO GET TO THE EDGE.

HAVING A GREAT GAME SO FAR.

ONE OF THOSE PLAYER OF THE GAME TYPES OF GAMES HE'S PUTTING TOGETHER.

THREE TOUCHDOWNS AND BIG-TIME RUNNING.

>> Matt: THAT WAS A 14-YARD PICK UP AND IT INCOMPLETE ON THE EDGE TO WILLIAMS.

AS WE APPROACH FIVE MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE SECOND QUARTER WITH HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE GAME.

RJ JOHNSON IS STILL PERFECT.

HE HAS YET TO THROW AN INCOMPLETION.

A SEVEN -YARD PICK UP THERE.

>> Wayne: SMOOTH, READING THE DEFENSE.

>> Matt: 131 YARDS AND NOW HE'S GOING TO RUN AND STEP OUT OF BOUNDS AND IT'S GOING TO BE 4th DOWN.

LET'S SEE WHAT THEY DO.

>> Wayne: GOOD PROTECTION BY THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE.

NO PRESSURE IN HIS FACE, JUST GETTING A YARD, SET UP THE 33.

>> Matt: I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY FIGURE OUT THE STARS BUT RIVALS HAS HIM AS A TWO STAR.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT.

7 FOR 7 TONIGHT.

EVERY TIME I SEE HIM PLAY HE PLAYS GREAT.

SOMEHOW GETS STUCK WITH A TWO- STAR LABEL.

THE FIRST INCOMPLETION OF THE NIGHT.

COVERAGE BY THE NICKELBACK AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE 4th DOWN.

>> Wayne: BRINGING THE PRESSURE IS CRISP COUNTY OFF OF THE EDGE.

PASS.

FIRST INCOMPLETION BUT HE'S STARTING TO HAVE A FIRM GRASP OF THIS OFFENSE WHICH IS WHAT COACH RICO ZACKERY HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR IT.

>> Matt: 7 FOR 8 FOR RJ JOHNSON TONIGHT.

HIS TEAM IN TOTAL COMMAND.

FIRST PUNTING SITUATION FOR THE LIONS AND CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL IS STANDING AT THE 35 YARD LINE.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST POSSESSION THEY'VE HAD IN THE HALF THAT HAS NOT ENDED IN A TOUCHDOWN.

FAIR CATCH IS CALLED FOR AND MADE AND THAT IS WHERE CRISP WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE FOLLOWING A 31 YARD KICK.

LET'S CHECK IF --CHECK IN WITH HANNAH GOOD END.

>> THE HALFTIME THEME IS LOOKING TO AVENGE TO LOSSES IN A ROW TO CARROLLTON, SOUTHPAW IS UP BY TWO POINTS.

WE ARE FOLLOWING THAT ONE AND MANY MORE SCORES COMING UP AT THE HALF AND WILL ALSO ANNOUNCE OUR TIK TOK CHALLENGE WINNER.

YOU ARE NOT ON TIK TOK, RIGHT?

>> Matt: THAT WOULD BE A NEGATIVE.

>> Wayne: I CAN'T SAY THAT I AM.

>> Matt: THEY KEEP HARTAGE IN THE GAME.

I THINK THAT'S THE BEST OPTION, TO HAVE HIM AT QUARTERBACK AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET THE BALL TO BROWN IN SOME SPACE.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT YET.

THE DIRECT SNAP GOES TO THE RUNNING BACK CHATFIELD WHO GETS DROPPED FOR A LOSS.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY JOHN BETTS ONCE AGAIN COMING OFF OF THE EDGE AND WILL NOT BE BLOCKED.

RUNNING IT DOWN.

>> Matt: THAT IS HIS THIRD TACKLE.

GOING TO FORCE HIM TO FIND THE OPEN MAN.

2nd AND 15.

WALKER UP TO THE 25 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: NICE READ.

AND HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE BEST PLAYER ON OFFENSE THE BALL.

NO ONE ON THE TEAM IS BETTER WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND.

YOU HAVE TO FIND DIFFERENT WAYS.

TESTING WHOEVER IS GUARDING HIM ON DEFENSE.

>> Matt: BROWN IS THE BEST ATHLETE AND WALKER IS THE BEST GUY WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND SO THEY HAVE TO START WORKING TOWARD THAT.

HE RUSHED HARTAGE AND THE BALL GETS BATTED DOWN AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

>> Wayne: HE BLITZES BY THE DEFENSE INCHING UP EACH AND EVERY TIME CLOSEST TO THE LINE AND YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY TIMES GUYS HAVE COME ON BLOCK.

NICE JOB BY HARPER HOLLOWAY.

GETTING HIS HANDS UP AFTER KNOCKING THE BALL DOWN.

NOW IT'S 4th DOWN AND 5.

THE PUNT RETURN IS SET UP SHORT FIELD.

>> Matt: THAT BOUNCED SIDEWAYS.

WESTLAKE WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE AT THE ABOUT THE 41 YARD LINE.

44-YARD KICK BY MITCHELL.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE WESTLAKE LIONS.

CURRENTLY PLAYING COLLEGE FOUR.

HUNTER THE REDSHIRT SENIOR, WESTERN KENTUCKY, THE REDSHIRT JUNIOR, DB AT GEORGIA TECH.

AND A COUPLE OF GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS.

LEO BLACK EARN, GEORGIA LOCKET.

>> Wayne: LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A PIPELINE.

>> Wayne: I THOUGHT THAT HE WAS THE MOST TALENTED EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A THREE STAR.

AND THE FIRST QUARTER BACK NECK INTO THE GAME FOR CRISP.

RJ JOHNSON FOR A FIVE-YARD LOSS.

>> Wayne: BUYING TIME, TRYING TO WAIT FOR THAT TO DEVELOP.

GOOD PRESSURE TO BRING THAT DOWN.

2nd DOWN AND 15.

>> Wayne: WE'VE ALREADY SEEN AHMAD BUTLER MAKE SOME BIG PLAYS SO THEY ARE STILL NOT OFF THE HOOK.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE CHASED JOHNSON OUT OF THE POCKET AND STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 45.

THAT WILL BRING UP THIRD BACK DOWN SO BACK TO BACK PLAYS WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET SOME PRESSURE ON JOHNSON.

>> Wayne: EARLY READS BY JOHNSON.

HE HAS HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS.

WHEN HE STRUGGLED HE CANNOT MAKE THE THROW ON THAT EARLY READ.

NICE DECISION TRYING TO CUT THAT DISTANCE IN HALF.

>> Matt: CAN WE GET A VOTE FOR SWEDISH UNIFORMS IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL?

THOSE ARE SMOKING HOT WITH THE LAKE ACROSS THE FRONT.

THIRD BACK DOWN AND 7.

THE RUSH AGAIN, RJ JOHNSON, BACK AT THE 34 YARD LINE.

IAN KLECKLEY WITH THE SACK.

>> Wayne: ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL, NOT REALLY SURE WHERE TO GO TO BUT THE EARLY PRESSURE SEEMED TO SCARE HIM OUT OF IT.

THE LINEBACKER IS DOGGING IN, TRYING TO TAKE TWO, NOT ABLE TO DELIVER THE BALL.

JULIAN FOX WITH PRESSURE UP THE MIDDLE RUNNING INTO IAN KLECKLEY ON THE EDGE.

>> Matt: THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE POSSESSION, THE LIONS HAVE TO PUNT.

>> Wayne: BURNESS MUCH CLOCK AS YOU CAN.

>> Matt: GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR CRISP, COVERED BACK AT THE 5.

THE LONG SNAPPER ON THAT PLAY AT LEAST ON THE DEPTH CHART IS JABARI JONES THE WIDE RECEIVER WHO SNAPPED RIGHT OVER THE HEAD OF CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL.

CRISP COUNTY HAS A CHANCE TO >> Wayne: DIDN'T GIVE THE PUNTER ANY CHANCE OF GIVING THE BALL DOWN.

THAT'S A BAD SNAP AND GIVING CRISP COUNTY LIFE TO BUILD MOMENTUM GOING INTO THE HALFTIME.

>> Matt: AFTER CAMPBELL FELL ON TOP OF IT HE FELL UNDERNEATH SO 1st AND GOAL TO GO AT THE FIVE YARD LINE.

NEW LIFE TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE BEFORE HEADING INTO THE LOCKER ROOM.

>> Wayne: MAYBE GO BACK TO BROWN TO MAKE PLAYS BUT HE'S DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

AND HE CATCHES IT OVER HIS SHOULDER --IS IT A TOUCHDOWN?

IT IS A TOUCHDOWN.

GREAT CATCH BY WALKER AND CRISP COUNTY GETS ON THE BOARD.

>> Wayne: WE TALKED ABOUT WALKER, TRYING TO FIND A WAY FOR HIM TO START HAVING AN EFFECT ON THIS GAME.

GOOD MATCHUP ON THE EDGE PLAYING WIDE DOING SOME MAN-TO- MAN.

GAVE THE RECEIVER A CHANCE TO BRING IT DOWN AND WALKER COMES IN WITH THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> Matt: CRISP FINALLY ON THE BOARD IN THE FINAL MINUTES OF THE SECOND QUARTER WATCH THIS CATCH BY WALKER.

>> Matt: THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL BEING OUT ON AN ISLAND.

NO OTHER PLAYERS ARE IN THE SCREEN.

NICE JOB LEADING THEM INTO THE NICE CATCH, A LATE CALL FOR THE TOUCHDOWN BY THE WRATH.

>> Matt: BUT NONE OF THEM EVER THROUGH THEIR HANDS UP.

THERE IS A UNIVERSAL SIGNAL FOR TOUCHDOWN RECOGNIZED BY EVERYBODY.

THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SHOOK THEIR HEADS YES.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB GIVING HIS TEAM A LITTLE MOMENTUM, SOME LIFE THAT HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY THIS WESTLAKE DEFENSE.

>> Matt: SO AFTER THE BAD SNAP, CHRIS GAUDI CATCHES IN ON THE SCORING DRIVE IN JUST FIVE PLAYERS.

ONE PLAY, 5 YARDS BUT A BIG 5 YARDS.

THAT GIVES THEM A LITTLE BIT OF POSITIVE MOMENTUM.

>> Wayne: THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD AGAINST CORNERS AND KEEP BROWN ON THE EDGE WHERE IN THIS KIND OF GAME HE'S PROBABLY MORE EFFECTIVE TRYING TO CATCH HIM IN A MATCHUP AND THROWING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD ON THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> Matt: HERE'S THE KICK OFF BY MITCHELL SAILING INTO THE END ZONE WITH A LITTLE ADRENALINE IN THAT KICK.

AND WESTLAKE WILL BRING IT OUT TO THE 20 AND IT'S 33 -SEVEN BACK.

>> Wayne: AND THE SNAP ON THE PUNT IS THE ONLY BAD PLAY THEY HAD.

IT JUST LED TO SEVEN POINTS FOR CRISP COUNTY BUT OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY REALLY THE ONLY NEGATIVE PLAY THEY HAD IN THAT HALF.

>> Matt: THIS SHOWS YOU HOW CRAZY THE GAME CAN BE.

THEY HAVE SOME PENALTIES BUT YOU MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND IT COST YOU A TOUCHDOWN.

LET'S SEE IF THEY TAKE ANY.

REMAINING.

HANDOFF GOES TO THOMAS.

HE'S RUNNING DOWN THE SIDELINE.

YOU HAVE TO GET SOME HANDS-ON THAT GUY AND PUSH HIM OUT BECAUSE THEY WILL TIGHT ROPE THE SIDELINE AND GO RIGHT BY YOU.

WE'VE SEEN THAT TONIGHT.

>> Wayne: GOOD BLOCKING UP FRONT.

NICE JOB NOT HOLDING AND SET UP THIS OFFENSE FOR AT LEAST ONE CHANCE FOR A BIG PLAY.

>> Matt: SEE IF THEY TAKE A SHOT.

THE CLOCK IS WINDING DOWN.

GOING TO HAND OFF TO THOMAS AGAIN AND THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

DOMINATING DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE FIRST HALF FOR WESTLAKE.

THEY LEAD 33 -7 AS THE TEAMS GO TO THE LOCKER ROOM.

>> Wayne: GIVING NO ROOM FOR CRISP COUNTY OFFENSE TO MOVE THE BALL ANYWHERE THAT FIRST HALF.

BIG-TIME EARLY PRESSURE REALLY FORCING THEM TO GO TO HERITAGE TO GET THE BALL OUT ON THE EDGE AND HAVING A LITTLE SUCCESS AT THE END AFTER THE BAD SNAP.

YOU IMAGINE IN THE SECOND HALF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THOSE SAME BIG PLAYS TO HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST THE LIONS DEFENSE.

>> Matt: THEY ARE JUST SUFFOCATING TO QUICKLY.

THEY BROUGHT A LOT OF PRESSURE FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT ANGLES JOHN BETTS, THE DEFENSIVE END HAD A BIG HALF WITH THREE TACKLES.

LET'S CHECK IN WITH JOHN.

>> Jon: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LET'S TAKE A PEEK AT WHAT COACH HAS IN MIND.

WE CAN BREAK THIS DOWN INTO TWO SEPARATE SECTIONS.

MINUTES OF THE FIRST HALF AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT.

>> WE ALWAYS TO PLAYERS WHEN PEOPLE WATCH FILM ON US WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE SAY HOW HARD WE PLAYED.

THEY COMPLIMENT US ON THAT.

AND WE DID THAT.

WE MADE SOME MISTAKES BUT EFFORT MAKES UP FOR MISTAKES SO WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

>> Jon: LET'S LOOK AT THE LAST TWO MINUTES WERE CRISP STARTED GETTING PRESSURE ON QUARTERBACKS.

YOU HAD THE SPECIAL-TEAMS ISSUE WHICH LED TO THE SCORE.

>> WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THAT SITUATION.

WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE FOUR THERE.

BUT THAT'S ON ME AND THE OTHER COACHES, WE HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT.

>> THANK YOU FOR HANGING OUT.

RICO ZACKERY THE HEAD COACH FOR WESTLAKE, HIS APPRAISAL OF THE FIRST 24 MINUTES.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

THE HALFTIME SHOW STARTS ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

>> IN JUST A FEW MINUTES COMING UP WE WILL HEAR FROM AVIEON TERREL AND UPDATE YOU ON GAMES AROUND THE STATE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

WE WOULD BE RIGHT BACK.

>>> WELCOME TO FOOTBALL FRIDAY'S IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGIONS.

I'M LIVE FROM THE GPB STUDIOS AND IT IS HALFTIME AT THE LIONS DEN.

THE SEAMS OF ONLY PLAYED ONCE BEFORE IN 2001 WHERE THE COUGARS TOOK THE WIN AND ARE NOT SO LUCKY TONIGHT WITH WESTLAKE UP 33 -7.

ONE OF THE STORYLINES TONIGHT IS SENIOR CORNERBACK AVIEON TERREL.

THE PROSPECT COMMITTED TO CLEMSON IN JUNE AND NO ONE WAS HAPPIER THAN HIS BROTHER THE FORMER TIGER STANDOUT AND CURRENT ATLANTA FALCON AJ TERREL WHO WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

HE WAS A FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK IN 2020 AND IS TEACHING HIS YOUNGER BROTHER INVALUABLE LESSONS ON AND OFF THE FIELD.

>> HE STAYED IN ATLANTA SO EVERY DAY WE TALK TO EACH OTHER.

HE WILL BE AT THE HOUSE EVERY DAY SO I SEE HIM EVERYDAY EVEN WHEN I PLAY GAMES.

HE TELLS ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG, HE GETS ON ME, ALL THAT.

ALWAYS BE THE ONE TO DO EXTRA WORK.

>>> KIDS HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT THE PAST FEW YEARS.

REMOTE LEARNING, MISSING ACTIVITIES, DRAMATIC EVENTS, AND IT IS AFFECTING MENTAL HEALTH.

THESE ISSUES ARE MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE REALIZE SO IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PARENTS AND TEACHERS KNOW THE SIGNS.

WE ARE JOINED BY LIZ FROM CIGNA WHO WILL GIVE US INSIGHT ON WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR TO HELP THEIR TEAM.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE AND PROMOTE TEAM MENTAL HEALTH?

>> THE REASON IT IS SO IMPORTANT IS WITH THE PANDEMIC, WE HAVE REALLY NOTICED AN INCREASE IN TEENAGED MENTAL HEALTH AND STRESS.

60% OF ATLANTA TEENAGERS HAVE HAD AN INCREASE IN STRESS AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC.

MANY ARE NOT COMFORTABLE OR EVEN KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS GOING ON TO BRING THAT UP SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE INTERVENE SOONER.

>> WHAT ARE LEARNING SIGNS IN TEENAGERS THAT MAY INDICATE STRUGGLES WITH MENTAL HEALTH?

>> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO CHANGES AND WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY SLEEPING DIFFERENTLY?

ARE THERE CHANGES IN APPETITE?

CHANGES AND HOW THEY ENGAGE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA?

THOSE ARE THINGS TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT.

>> IN WHAT WAYS CAN WE SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH DURING THIS TIME?

>> IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE OPEN AND HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS.

AND TO BE ABLE TO MODEL GOOD BEHAVIOR IN YOURSELF TO SHOW THEM THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DIFFICULT TIMES AND BE OPEN IF YOU NEED TO TO SEEK OUT HELP FROM YOUR CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN OR A QUALIFIED THERAPIST.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD.

SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

A BORDER WAR, BENEDICTINE LOOKING FOR REVENGE OVER COLUMBUS BUT AFTER TRAILING 14 -7 RIGHT NOW.

SOUTH PAULDING LOOKING TO AVENGE SEVEN LOSSES IN A ROW TO CARROLLTON AND CARROLLTON JUST WENT UP 21 -15.

THEY KNOCKED BROOKWOOD OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS AND LOOKING GOOD AGAIN.

A RECORD OF 2 AND 2 AND WHO WILL WIN THE TIEBREAKER TONIGHT?

THE EAGLES UP 14 -7.

CALLAWAY REMEMBER LOST LAST WEEK IN A TOUGH ONE IN ONE OF THE BORDER WAR GAMES THAT WE TALK ABOUT.

THEY RANKED IN THE TOP 10 FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN THE POLLS AND PUT THE PEDAL DOWN EARLY AND OFTEN TONIGHT IN OUR STREAMING GAME BROUGHT TO US BY OUR FRIENDS AT BRAYDEN PAST MANAGEMENT.

TONIGHT IN CEDARTOWN, A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME NEXT WEEK IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ONE THAT WE HAVE IN MIDDLE GEORGIA FOR OUR MULTISCREEN EXPERIENCE.

>> CAN WE SPILL THE BEANS?

>> Jon: THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY, BUT THAT'S THE LOCATION SO THAT'S WHAT WE WILL SAY FOR NOW.

>> GOTCHA.

YOU HAVE YOUR EYES ON ALL KINDS OF GAMES.

WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING AROUND THE STATE TONIGHT?

>> YOU HAVE CLEMSON LEADING 10 -6 AND ANOTHER ONE OF THE BORDER WAR GAMES.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE OUT OF STATE.

MARIST HAD TO GO TO ALABAMA.

THEY ARE A GROWING SUBURB IN MONTGOMERY AND WE WILL GET INTO FULL DISCLOSURE AND A SECOND.

APPARENTLY MARIST BUT 400 TICKETS FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT.

THEY HAVE BEEN DOMINANT SO FAR INCLUDING A 65-YARD INTERCEPTION RETURN.

20 -7 SECOND QUARTER.

MARIST ON THE ROAD LEADING THE DEFENDING CHAMP AND THE STATE ROME IS PUTTING UP BIG NUMBERS AND STUCK WHICH LOSING.

WE CUT UP ON THE PODCAST THIS WEEK GO TO YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST AND LISTEN TO OUR CONVERSATION WE TALKED ABOUT HIS EXPECTATIONS COMING INTO THAT ONE.

THAT IS A FEW OF THE GAMES GOING ON.

OSBORNE BY THE WAY COULD START OFF THE SEASON 2 AND 0.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WON IN SAVANNA AND BEEN A DIXON TRYING TO DO THE SAME TONIGHT.

--BENEDICTINE TRYING TO DO THE SAME TONIGHT.

>> WE LOVE CROSS CLASSIFICATION GAMES BUT 3 A AND WEST LIKE BEING 7 A, DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SCORE?

>> Jon: I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING IT'S THE SIZE OF THE FRONT 7 AND I WILL ASK COACH ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A DOMINANT FRONT 7 LIKE WESTLAKE HAS, IT'S HARD TO HAVE THE QUARTERBACK HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND THAT'S WHY YOU SAW WORK TO THE OUTSIDE WORK TO THE OUTSIDE WHICH GOT SOME YARDAGE AND THEN THE SPECIAL- TEAMS MISTAKE WHICH LED TO THE SCORE.

>> TAKE A HALFTIME BREAK, WE WE WILL SHOW YOU THE PLAY OF THE FIRST HALF AND ANNOUNCE OUR TIK TOK CHALLENGE WINNER ALL COMING UP.

YOU CAN CHOOSE A DANCE, SHARE A PRACTICE, TEAM ACTIVITIES OR HIGHLIGHTS.

SO MANY PEOPLE VOTED THIS WEEK AND ALTHOUGH WESTLAKE DID A GREAT JOB THE WINNER IS CRISP COUNTY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

THANK YOU FOR VOTING, EVERYONE.

FOLLOW US AT GPB SPORTS AND SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO FOR NEXT WEEK'S GAME OF THE WEEK.

ALSO STICK AROUND AFTER THE GAME FOR THE POST GAME SHOW.

WE WILL HAVE COACHES ON STANDBY ALL AROUND THE STATE READY TO TALK TO US ABOUT THEIR MATCHUP.

THAT'S IT FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW.

MORE FROM WESTLAKE VERSUS CRISP COUNTY.

IT'S MATT, WAYNE, AND TREY NIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> Matt: WELCOME BACK TO THE LION'S DEN.

ABOUT TO AND A HALF MINUTES TO GO BEFORE THE SECOND 24 MINUTES.

LET'S GET THE CRISP COUNTY PERSPECTIVE ON THE FIRST HALF.

THE UPFRONT WAS CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR YOU EARLY ON.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING WE KNEW COMING INTO THE GAME LIKE I SAID BEFORE.

THEY ARE A BIG TEAM AND THEY PLAY FAST.

WE JUST HAVE TO TRY TO CONTINUE TO PLAY WITH GREAT EFFORT AND USE QUICKNESS TO GET BACK INTO THE BALLGAME.

>> Matt: I KNOW YOU USED A QUARTERBACK CHANGE BUT LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER YOU ARE ABLE TO GET PRESSURE ON THE QUARTERBACK WHICH CREATED A SPECIAL-TEAMS ERROR WHICH GOT POINTS ON THE BOARD IN ANOTHER WAY.

>> GREAT EFFORT IS SOMETHING THAT WE TRY TO DO TO HELP MAKE LAYS IN THIS GAME AND WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE THAT TO TRY TO GET BACK INTO THIS BALLGAME.

>> Matt: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE HEAD COACH OF CRISP COUNTY SO THAT'S THE POINT OF VIEW.

THEY HAVE A TALL MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO DOWN 33 -7.

HOW DO THEY COME BACK FROM A 33 -7 DEFICIT?

>> Wayne: ONE PLAY AT A TIME WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS TEAM.

THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME PLAYS FOR THEM, THIS OFFENSE IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE BALL AGAINST WESTLAKE.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT FIRST HALF STATS AND IT'S A STORY OF DOMINANCE FOR WESTLAKE.

ONE THING THEY DO NOT TELL YOU IS ALL THE YARDAGE THEY GOT IN SPECIAL-TEAMS FROM >> Wayne: WHICH WAS A BIG WEAPON IN THE FIRST HALF.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT STATS IT'S JUST A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE BY THE LIONS DEFENSE.

NEGATIVE YARDS, PLAYING ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BALL.

PRETTY CLEAN GAME WITH ONLY ONE 1st DOWN FOR CRISP COUNTY.

THEY CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE TO GO.

0 FOR 7 ON 3rd DOWN.

>> THEY GOT ONE 1st DOWN WHEN THEY SCORED A TOUCHDOWN SO GOT IT IN THE FINAL MINUTE OF THE HALF AFTER A SPECIAL-TEAMS MISTAKE, IRONICALLY.

SO 33 -7 AS WE GET READY TO START THIS THIRD QUARTER.

I'M WONDERING, IS A HARTAGE A QUARTERBACK OR DO THEY GO BACK TO AJ BROWN?

>> Wayne: I IMAGINE THEY WILL HAVE TO STICK WITH HARTAGE TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

AUDIE --AT ON THE EDGE HE'S A BETTER POCKET PASSER AND WE SAW A LITTLE WRINKLE.

WHEN HE IS AT QUARTERBACK THE CONSISTENCY OF MAN-TO-MAN BRINGS PRESSURE.

HARTAGE THEY DROP MORE ZONE AND HE'S ALLOWED TO SURVEY THE FIELD AND SEE IF HE CAN GET THE BALL OUT QUICK TO BROWN AND WALKER.

>> Matt: WE ARE READY TO GET STARTED IN THE SECOND HALF.

A 26 -POINT LEAD FOR WESTLAKE WHO SCORED 12 POINTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER, 21 IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND THE RUNNING BACK JAI'DEN THOMAS SCORED THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN THE FIRST HALF OF PLAY.

THIRD QUARTER KICKOFF IS OUT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

SEAT ELSE SAVE LIVES.

SO WESTLAKE WILL BE GETTING THE BALL TO START THE SECOND HALF.

RJ JOHNSON 7 OF 8 PASSING FOR 131.

AHMAD BUTLER 83 YARDS, 11 CARRIES, 46 YARDS.

AND WESTLAKE WILL START AT THEIR 20 -YARD LINE.

>> Matt: I IMAGINE WESTLAKE WILL GO BACK AND REESTABLISH THE RUN WITH JADEN THOMAS.

HE GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER EACH CARRY TRYING TO CUT THE GAME IN HALF AND EAT SOME TIME.

HAVING AN EXCELLENT HALF ESPECIALLY EARLY ON AND READING THE DEFENSE AND GETTING THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS.

>> Matt: IAN KLECKLEY HAD THREE TACKLES.

THE QUARTERBACK SACK AND A TFL.

JULIAN FOX ALSO HAD THREE TACKLES IN THAT FIRST HALF.

WESTLAKE BACK ON OFFENSE FROM THEIR OWN 20 -YARD LINE.

TO THE NEAR SIDE, THOMAS IS DRAGGED DOWN FROM BEHIND BY JULIAN FOX.

>> Wayne: FOX STEPPING UP COMING THROUGH CLEANLY BUT ONCE AGAIN, JAI'DEN THOMAS WITH THE VISION AND THE QUICKNESS TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE.

WATCH HOW HE OUT RUNS HIM TO MAKE A POSITIVE PLAY FOR WESTLAKE.

UNBLOCKED IS FOX, JUST NOT ABLE TO BRING HIM DOWN.

>> Matt: 2nd DOWN AND 7.

I'M IMPRESSED BY THE PHYSICALITY OF THIS WESTLAKE TEAM IN EVERY PHASE OF THE GAME.

UP TO ABOUT THE 27 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS JABARI JONES WITH THE CATCH.

>> Wayne: NICE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JONES AND JOHNSON.

PLAYING A LITTLE SOFT, JUST GET THE BALL OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND GET THE POSITIVE YARDAGE.

>> Matt: JABARI JONES ALREADY HAS SIX OFFERS.

3rd DOWN AND 2.

THOMAS, AND HE'S GOING TO PICK UP THE 1st DOWN IF HIS BODY FALLS ACROSS THE 30.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB AGAIN OF BOUNCING TO THE OUTSIDE.

A LOT OF BODIES IN THE MIDDLE COMING ACROSS THE DEFENSE.

USING HIS VISION AND GETTING TO THE OUTSIDE TO PICK UP THE 1st DOWN.

>> Matt: SO 1st AND 10 WITH THE BALL AT THE 31.

>> Wayne: WE CONTINUE TO SEE HIM GROW AS HIS GAME GOES ON.

COACH TALKED ABOUT HIS PLAYMAKING ABILITY AND THIS IS THE KIND OF YARDAGE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

>> Matt: HE REALLY KEPT MOVING THE BALL OFFENSIVELY IN THEIR >> Referee: TIMEOUT WESTLAKE.

>> Matt: SO WESTLAKE USES THEIR FIRST TIMEOUT OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

WE WILL STEP ASIDE.

>> Matt: TWO MINUTES INTO THE THIRD QUARTER, WESTLAKE ON TOP AND A TIMEOUT EARLY IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MINUTES OF THE PERIOD AS THEY NOW HAVE 1st AND 10 FROM THE 30 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: INTERESTING TIME FOR A TIMEOUT.

YOU GOT A 1st DOWN, YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND HE WILL PUT EVEN MORE PRESSURE ON CRISP COUNTY.

>> GETS IT OUT OF THE SIDELINE FOR ABOUT A SEVEN-YARD PICK UP ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB JUST GETTING THE BALL AWAY FROM TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

GET IT TO THE TALENT ON THE OUTSIDE.

WHEN HE MAKES QUICK DECISIONS WITH THE BALL IT'S AN EXCELLENT GAME.

>> Matt: SO 2nd DOWN AND 3.

THOMAS DRIVING THOSE LEGS PICKS 5'9", 175 BUT RUNS MUCH HEAVIER THAN THAT.

HE HIT THE DEFENDERS AND DROVE THEM BACK.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB READING HERE.

HE'S PLAYING SOFT, HANDING OFF THE BALL.

JUST SHOVING AND PUSHING TO GET THE 1st DOWN, JAI'DEN THOMAS.

>> Matt: HE HAS A GUY TRYING TO PULL HIM FROM BEHIND, STOP HIM FROM THE FRONT, AND STILL 12 CARRIES AND 55 YARDS FOR HIM TONIGHT.

FROM THE 41, JOHNSON TO THE FAR SIDE AND THE CATCH IS MADE.

FIRST CATCH OF THE NIGHT FOR TRAVIS SMITH.

>> Wayne: GET THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS.

RJ JOHNSON DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB TAKING WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES.

HAVE NOT SEEN A LOT OF DEEP BALLS BY THIS OFFENSE.

THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE TAKING THE FIVE, SIX, OR WHATEVER COMES.

WE SAW SOME BIG PLAYS EARLIER.

IT WAS MORE OF A 7 OR 8-YARD THROW AND THEN RUNS THE BALL ANOTHER 10 OR 12 YARDS.

>> Matt: THAT WAS AMIR DWIGHT WHO IS COMMITTED TO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS MAKING THAT TACKLE.

HE'S A GUY THAT COACH SMITH SAYS IF HE WAS ABOUT 3 " TALLER, A SOUTHERN ILLINOIS COMMITMENT WOULD BE A POWER 5 COMMITMENT.

>> Wayne: DISRUPT IS WHAT HIS COACH CALLED HIM.

THEY HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET SOME OF THE PLAYS OFF AND IT'S A BIG 3rd DOWN.

CANNOT CONTINUE TO LET WESTLAKE WALK THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

>> Matt: THIRD BACK DOWN AND 4 JABARI JONES GOT SLIPPERY AND PICK UP THE 1st DOWN.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB OF GATHERING HIMSELF AND GETTING UP THE FIELD.

NO PANIC.

HAVING TO GO DOWN AND BRING THE BALL IN.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE TURF ALMOST COMING FROM UNDER HIM.

>> Matt: YOU CAN SEE WHY EVEN THOUGH HE'S ONLY IN HIS SECOND YEAR HE HAS POWER 5 OFFERS.

>> Wayne: IN LATE AUGUST.

>> Matt: IT LOOKS GOOD.

IT JUST LOOKS GOOD.

1st AND 10.

THOMAS RUNS INTO THE ARMS OF IAN KLECKLEY.

WHAT I REALLY LIKED ABOUT THAT PLAY IS HOW NATURALLY HE CHANGED THE BALL TO THE OTHER ARM AS HE MADE THE CUT TO THE OUTSIDE >> Wayne: BIG TIME BLOCK UP FRONT, GIVING HIM A CHANCE IN HIS VISION AND LEG STRENGTH.

THE DRIVE IS TAKING THREE OR FOUR DEFENDERS TO BRING DOWN A MAN LISTED AT 175.

>> Matt: 2nd DOWN AND 4 INTO THE AIR AND COMPLETE TO JONES AGAIN.

JONES IS GOING TO BE STOPPED SHORT OF THE 1st DOWN.

CAYDEN DANIELS THE SAFETY MAKING THE STOP.

>> Wayne: GET THE BALL OUT TO THE EDGE, JONES ONCE AGAIN.

THE PHYSICALITY AND FINISHING THE PLAY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL, THAT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT TONIGHT.

ONCE AGAIN SETTING UP A 2nd IN SHORT TO KEEP THIS DRIVE ALIVE AND MAKING IT HARD.

YOU HAVE TO START MAYBE TAKING SOME GAMBLES.

>> Matt: 1st TIME THEY HAVE NOT REALLY BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT.

JUST THE SECOND INCOMPLETION FOR RJ JOHNSON WHO THREW BEHIND JABARI JONES AND IT'S 4th AND 1.

>> Wayne: I THINK YOU ALREADY DECIDED YOU ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT ON 4th AND 1 SO HE TOOK THE CHANCE.

JUST A BAD THROW.

ARE JAY JOHNSON PATTING HIS CHEST.

THE BALL IS TOO LOW WITH JONES WIDE OPEN.

>> Matt: TOLEDO HAS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THE COMMIT OF ARE JAY JOHNSON WHO GETS THE 1st DOWN.

INCREDIBLE POISE.

AND YOU SAID IT IN THE OPEN IN FOUR YEARS WE'VE BEEN SEEING HIM PLAY.

FOUR YEARS FOR WESTLAKE AND STILL LABOR HIM A TWO STAR.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THE POISE AND ACCURACY.

>> Wayne: IN TODAY'S FOUR, THE QUARTERBACK ENTER SENDER -- UNDER CENTER IS A TRICK PLAY.

NICE JOB OF HIM WITH THE LINE DRIVE AND CONTINUING TO HAVE THE CLOCK CLICK DOWN.

JADEN THOMAS RUNNING HARD PICKS UP ABOUT 7 ON THAT PLAY.

>> Matt: ONE OF THESE RUNS THAT THE DEFENSE AIMS TO BE SURPRISED AT HIS SPEED ONCE HE GETS OUT ON THE EDGE.

LOOKS LIKE HE IS CAUGHT DEAD AND THEN YOU SEE HIM WITH A BURST OUT RUNNING THE DEFENDER.

A NICE STIFF ARM TO GET KJ MOREL WHO IS A TOP PLAYER FOR THIS COUGARS DEFENSE.

NICE JOB BY HIM.

SIX OFFERS.

KENTUCKY, LIBERTY, AND TROY.

2nd DOWN AND 4.

PROSPECTS HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN THE PROSPECTS FOR CRISP COUNTY.

>> Matt: HE WILL BE DRAGGED DOWN AT THE 35 YARD LINE.

NICE OPEN FIELD TACKLE BY JULIAN FOX FOR A LOSS OF 4 ON THAT PLAY.

SECOND TFL FOR HIM IN THIS GAME.

>> Matt: ARE JAY JOHNSON HAVING A LOT OF DEFENSE AND WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE HE CANNOT GET THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO GET SOME PUMP AND GO ACTION ON THE EDGE.

IT DIDN'T COME, AND THE PRESSURE BY FOX BRINGING HIM DOWN 3rd AND 8.

YOU HAVE TO GET OFF THE FIELD RIGHT HERE.

>> Matt: THEY ARE WALKING DOWN THE FIELD AND EATING UP TIME.

>> Wayne: TAKING THEIR TIME.

THE ONLY DRIVE IN THE HALF SO FAR AND THEY ARE MILKING IT FOR ALL THAT IT'S WORTH.

>> Matt: THOMAS NOT GOING TO PICK UP THE 1st DOWN.

THAT WAS FOX.

I THINK IT WAS FOX WHO MADE THAT TACKLE.

>> Wayne: AND IT MAY BE 4th DOWN TERRITORY WHERE THE DEFENSE PLAYS.

YOU HAVE ANOTHER SET OF DOWNS, THAT IS FOX GETTING IN ON THE PLAY ALONG WITH CAYDEN DANIELS.

BRINGING HIM DOWN.

4th AND 4, THE DEFENSE AND THE WAY THEY ARE PLAYING, FIELD POSITION, THIS IS A GREAT GAMBLE RIGHT HERE.

>> Matt: SETTING UP THE SCREEN AND THE BALL IS GOING TO GO OVER TO CRISP COUNTY.

I THINK THEY MAY HAVE RULED THAT AN INCOMPLETION.

EITHER WAY, CRISP GETS THE BALL.

SO WESTLAKE DRIVES 16 PLAYS UNTIL THE DRIVE STALLS.

CRISP COMES UP WITH THE STOP.

>> Matt: 2:54 LEFT IN THE THIRD.

DOMINANT PERFORMANCE.

STILL WESTLAKE LEADING CRISP.

REMEMBER, GPB IS A MULTI-SCREEN EXPERIENCE THIS YEAR.

THE SECOND SCREEN IS IN CEDARTOWN.

A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE, TWO MORE POINTS ON THE BOARD FOR THE BULLDOGS THEN WE HAVE SEEN FROM CRISP.

35 -NOTHING.

A BIT OF A STUNNER THERE.

HEADING FOR A RUNNING CLOCK IN CEDARTOWN RIGHT NOW.

LET'S SEND IT BACK TO THE REMAINDER OF QUARTER NUMBER THREE.

>> Matt: 16 PLAYS, NINE MINUTES OFF OF THE CLOCK.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT RICO ZACKERY WAS LOOKING FOR IT.

HE WANTED POINTS BUT IF WE DON'T GET POINTS WE WILL SHORTEN THE GAME.

>> Wayne: EATING UP THE CLOCK, PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE ON OFFENSE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PRESSURE IN THE BACKFIELD.

THE DEFENSIVE FRONT PLAYING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL TO WESTLAKE.

>> Matt: THEY WILL END UP WITH NEGATIVE YARDS BARRING SOME KIND OF CHANGE IN THE TEMPO AND FLOW OF THE GAME.

AS SOON AS HE GOT THE BALL HE SAW NUMBER 54 STANDING IN HIS FACE.

AND IT CANNOT CONNECT WITH WALKER.

BROWN IS BACK AT QUARTERBACK JUST NOT KEEPING WALKER A CHANCE ON THAT THROW.

>> Matt: THE COMMITMENT TO OLE MISS WITH OVER 26 OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING CLEMSON.

HE IS COMMITTED AS A SAFETY.

>> Wayne: DYNAMIC SAFETY, GOOD SIZE.

OLE MISS PUTS THE EXTRA 15 OR 20 ON AND DEFINITELY WILL HELP AT THAT POSITION.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE QUARTERBACK IS GOING.

>> Wayne: THEY DO NOTHING BUT HELP HIM DOWN THE ROAD.

GOING ON THE RUN AND I THINK IT IS INCOMPLETE.

INCOMPLETE WAS THE CALL FROM THE FIELD.

>> Wayne: HAVING TO THROW THE BALL ON THE RUN AND COMING UP A LITTLE SHORT ON THE THROW.

THE PRESSURE THAT HE HAS SEEN ALL NIGHT LONG.

THIS TIME HYPER HOLLOWAY -- HARPER HOLLOWAY.

>> Matt: CALVARIOUS ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN ON SOME SPECIAL TEAM PLAYS AND IT'S 4th AND 14 AND HE HAS TO GIVE IT RIGHT BACK.

>> Wayne: A PHASE HAS DOMINATED EQUALLY TO THE DEFENSE AND HAS BEEN THE PUNT RETURN TEAM ESPECIALLY WHEN AVIEON TERREL HAS HAD THE BALL.

>> Matt: HE THOUGHT ABOUT SCOOPING IT UP AND DECIDED NOT TO.

HE THINKS THAT TERREL TOUCHED IT WHEN IT WAS HOPPING OVER HIS HEAD AND OFFICIALS WILL NOT AGREE WITH THAT.

>> Wayne: I NEVER SAW THE FLIGHTPATH OF THE BALL CHANGE >> Matt: LOOKS LIKE HE TOUCHES IT.

LOOK HOW THE FLIGHT KIND OF CHANGES.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE TIPS IT.

>> Wayne: MAYBE HE DIDN'T FEEL IT IN HIS HANDS AT THAT POINT.

HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE HE TOUCHED AT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE FELT LIKE HE COVERED IT SO WESTLAKE WILL TAKE OVER AT THE SEVEN - YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME.

THOMAS IS DRIVEN BACK BY JAMARION TROUTMAN THE LINEBACKER.

>> Wayne: A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY HAVE HAD SUCCESSES BECAUSE THEY PLAYED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL.

HE WILL CREATE 2nd AND 10 AND ANY CHANCE THAT THE DEFENSE HAS TO START, NICE DRIVE TAKING ALMOST 10 MINUTES OFF OF THE CLOCK.

>> Matt: BY THE WAY THAT WAS A 56 -YARD PUNT.

2nd AND 10.

ONE MAN MISSING IN THE BACKFIELD.

THOMAS FINALLY GETS TIED UP AROUND THE ANKLES AT THE 23 YARD LINE.

>> Wayne: WE'VE SEEN HIM GET OUT OF THE EDGE AND HE IS ONLY OF A RUNNER THAT IS ABOUT 220.

>> Matt: 19 CARRIES, 84 YARDS.

WRAPPED UP AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND I THINK THAT JULIAN FOX WAS IN ON THAT TACKLE.

HE IS HURT.

HIS HELMET GOT KNOCKED OFF.

AMIR DWIGHT PROBABLY THEIR BEST GUY ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE.

COMMITTING TO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS OVER 9+ OFFERS INCLUDING STANFORD AND FLORIDA AND.

COACH SMITH PLAYED FOR RODNEY COFIELD AND WENT ON TO TENNESSEE STATE.

FROM THERE, THE NFL.

HE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT TACKLE.

>> Wayne: WHEN HE TRIED TO STAND UP HIS LEG CRAMPED ON HIM.

PLAYERS GETTING PRODUCTION BOTH WAYS.

>> Matt: DWIGHT ALSO PLAYS ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS A BACKUP.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE FINAL PLAY OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> Wayne: LONG DRIVE LIKE THEY DID TO START THE SECOND HALF.

>> Matt: 33 -7 WESTLAKE LEADING CRISP COUNTY AS WE HEAD TO THE FOURTH QUARTER IN ATLANTA.

RJ THOMPSON ONLY TWO INCOMPLETIONS TONIGHT AND AJ BROWN TRYING TO GET LOOSE IN CRISP COUNTY.

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LION'S DEN.

33 -7 IS THE SCORE AT WESTLAKE.

A LOT OF GAMES GOING ON REALLY AROUND THE SOUTHEAST INVOLVING TEAMS HERE WITH GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL.

YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND AIM THE PHONE AT THE QR CODE AND GET ALL OF THE SCORES THAT YOU WANT THAT ARE ATTACHED ALL SEASON LONG.

YOUR FAVORITE TEAMS, YOUR FAVORITE SCORES.

THE QR CODE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU RIGHT THERE.

AROUND THE STATE THE SECOND SCREEN EXPERIENCE, 41 -NOTHING AND IT IS ALL CEDARTOWN.

UNDER 10 MINUTES TO GO IN CEDARTOWN.

GLOBETROTTER GREG HAS BEEN THE ONE SHOOTING THAT ONE.

YOU CAN GO TO WWW.GPB.ORG FOR THAT ONE AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF FINALS AS WELL, MARIST BEATING PIKE ROAD SOUTH OF MONTGOMERY WITH ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES TO GO IN REGULATION.

>> Matt: THANK YOU, JON.

THE FOURTH QUARTER STARTS WITH A TACKLE BY JAMARION TROUTMAN AND WE ARE UNDERWAY IN THE FINAL PERIOD.

HOW ABOUT CALLAWAY?

THAT'S A TOP 10 TEAM AND 5A GETTING NAILED TODAY BY CEDARTOWN.

DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING.

>> Wayne: AND TRISTAN WILSON JUST RAN THE BALL IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN WHICH WOULD BE ONLY THE SECOND TIME, OR THE FIRST TIME THAT SOMEONE RAN THE BALL NOT NAMED JAI'DEN THOMAS.

>> Matt: SO THE SENIOR RUNNING BACK HERE.

THOMAS RIGHT AROUND 90 RIGHT YARDS RUSHING THROUGH THREE QUARTERS.

3rd AND 10. RJ JOHNSON GOING UP AND IT IS WOKEN UP.

TRAE WALKER BROKEN UP AT THE YARD LINE.

TRYING TO PICK UP THE BIG PLAY GOING DOWN FIELD.

AN EARLY READ, GET THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS AND KEEPING THE BALL UP HIGH.

GOOD JOB TO DENY BANKS.

THAT IS TRAVIS SMITH, NUMBER 10 ON THE EDGE AND IT'S 4th DOWN.

AND CRISP IS GOING TO GET THE BALL BACK.

CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL ON THE PUNT.

ROLLED DEAD 10 YARDS LATER AT THE 41.

SO CRISP GOING BACK ON OFFENSE SO THE QUESTION WILL BE HARTAGE OR BROWN AT QUARTERBACK.

>> Wayne: IF YOU ARE COACH SMITH YOU MAY JUST WANT TO GET THE OFFENSE GOING.

PUT WHO YOU THINK WILL BE THE TEAM GOING INTO NEXT WEEK OUT ON THE FIELD AND START BUILDING CONFIDENCE DRIVING THE BALL.

>> Matt: NEXT WEEK THEY WILL HOST LOVEJOY NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT DOWN AT THE COUGAR DEN IN CORDELE.

SO 1st AND 10, -44 YARDS RUSHING TONIGHT.

OVERTHROWS TRAE WALKER.

2nd DOWN.

>> Wayne: HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE, YOU WANT TO JUST EXECUTE YOUR OFFENSE.

THAT'S ONE ASPECT OF THE GAME.

WE KNOW THAT HE'S ATHLETIC AND HE'S GOING TO PLAY HARD.

YOU CAN CONSISTENTLY SEE TEAMS CHALLENGING HIM TO THROW THE BALL.

IT'S HARD ON THIS YOUNG MAN TRYING TO PLAY BOTH WAYS.

YOUR MIND IS THINKING ABOUT SO MANY THINGS, YOU ARE WINDED, COMING FROM SAFETY.

>> Matt: FUMBLED AND RECOVERED.

NEVER DROPPED TO THE GROUND AS BROWN WAS ABLE TO RETAIN IT BUT HE WAS JUGGLING THE BALL AND IT'S GOING TO BE 3rd DOWN.

AND I THINK THAT MAYBE WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 3A AND 7A.

IN 3A YOU CAN PROBABLY GO A LONG WAY AND WIN A LOT OF GAMES AS A QUARTERBACK WHO DOES NOT HAVE TO THROW THE BALL.

7A IS MUCH MORE DEMANDING.

>> Wayne: ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ASKING THE QUARTERBACK TO BE THE GUY MAKING THE PLAY IS.

IN ANY SITUATION, IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE A RUN GAME, YOU CAN SEE LINEBACKERS, THERE'S NOWHERE FOR HIM TO GO.

>> Matt: ANOTHER QUARTERBACK SACK FOR THE LIONS.

>> Wayne: YOU PICK A NUMBER ON THIS DEFENSE THEY ARE HAVING A MEETING AT THE QUARTERBACK.

>> Matt: SO 4th DOWN AND ANOTHER PUNTING OPPORTUNITY FOR DAVID MITCHELL.

LINE DRIVE KICK.

IT IS BOUNCED THAT'S GOING TO BE JABARI JONES ON THE RETURN THAT TIME AND TROUTMAN LOSES HIS HELMET.

I'M GUESSING YOU PROBABLY SEEN THE LAST OF AVIEON TERREL BUT WHAT A FIRST HALF HE HAS.

WHILE THEY TEND TO HIM WE WILL STEP ASIDE.

>> Matt: JUST UNDER NINE MINUTES LEFT IN THIS ONE AND WESTLAKE IN COMMAND.

HANNAH AND JON COMING UP WITH THE POST GAME SHOW.

FOLLOW SCORES, HIGHLIGHTS, INTERVIEWS WITH COACHES FROM AROUND THE STATE.

COMING UP IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THIS ONE.

WESTLAKE GOING BACK ON OFFENSE.

>> Wayne: GOOD TO SEE JULIAN FOX GET UP ON HIS OWN POWER AND WALK OFF OF THE FIELD.

IF YOU ARE WESTLAKE YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO EXECUTE YOUR OFFENSE AS YOU CAN SEE.

FINALLY GETTING DIFFERENT BACKS.

LOOKS LIKE MAYBE JAI'DEN THOMAS IS DONE FOR THE NIGHT.

>> Matt: THAT IS NUMBER 22, NAEEM ODENIYI.

JOHNSON IS STILL IN AS QUARTER BACK.

HE'S 14 OF 17 TONIGHT AND DROPS PASS WITH SOME PUNISHMENT AFTERWARDS.

JABARI JONES COULD NOT HOLD ONTO THAT ONE.

>> Wayne: NICE BALL TO CATCH BY JONES.

JUST COMING UP WITH A DROP IN TRYING TO PICK UP A COUPLE OF YARDS, KEEP THE DRIVE GOING.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE TALENTED WIDE RECEIVERS BUT THEY ARE YOUNG.

TRAVIS SMITH, JABARI JONES.

COACH RICO ZACKERY TOLD US THEY HAVE TO GROW THEM UP.

>> Wayne: THAT'S WHY JAI'DEN THOMAS IS SO IMPORTANT IN THE RUSH GAME.

IN THE FIRST HALF BY THIS OFFENSE.

SCORING THE BALL.

RJ JOHNSON MAKES QUICK DECISIONS JONES DID NOT COME UP WITH THE CATCH THAT MAKES EARLY READS AND GETS THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS LOOKING EXCELLENT FROM THE PASSING GAME.

>> Matt: 3rd DOWN AND 9 APPROACHING EIGHT MINUTES LEFT IN THIS ONE.

INCOMPLETE.

TRYING TO MAKE A PASS COMPLETION AT THE 47 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS TRAE WALKER ON COVERAGE AND IT'S 4th DOWN AGAIN.

>> Wayne: TWO INTERCEPTIONS LAST WEEK.

TYPICALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A BIG GAME LIKE THAT NEXT WEEK THE QUARTERBACK STAYS AWAY FROM YOU BUT TRAE WALKER HAS BEEN TESTED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

WHAT A GREAT ATHLETE HE IS.

>> Matt: WESTLAKE HAS NOT SCORED SINCE THE 65-YARD PUNT RETURN TOUCHDOWN WITH JUST UNDER SEVEN MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

THEY JUMPED DOWN TO A 33 - NOTHING LEAD IN THE FIRST 17 MINUTES OF THIS GAME.

TAKES ANOTHER BOUNCE FOR WESTLAKE, ABOUT 10 OR 11 YARDS ON THE BOUNCE AND THAT IS WHERE CRISP WILL START BACK ON OFFENSE AT THE 28 AT THE 35 YARD KICK AND LET'S CHECK BACK IN WITH NELLY.

>> Jon: WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME FINAL SCORES IN GAMES LATE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AS WE GET READY FOR THE POST GAME SHOW.

CARTERVILLE GETS THE WIN TONIGHT.

WE'VE HAD GAMES DOWN SOUTH THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY WHETHER LIKE SEMINOLE.

THEY WERE HELD TO 29 THIS WEEK AFTER SCORING 73 LAST WEEK BUT THEY ARE NOW 0 AND 2 LOSING 29 AND 15.

BY THE WAY THEY ARE NOW MOTHER NATURE, AS ALWAYS.

>> Matt: THEY WERE TOP 10 PRESEASON BUT A COUPLE OF BIG LOSSES TO BEGIN THE YEAR.

1st AND 10 FOR CRISP FROM THE 29.

LOOKS LIKE HARTAGE IS QUARTERBACKING.

AND BROWN WILL BE DROPPED.

ANOTHER LOSS ON THE PLAY.

THAT'S THE LAST THING YOU WANT, FOR AJ BROWN TO GET HURT IN A BLOWOUT LOSS.

HOBBLED ON THE PLAY.

HIS DEFENSIVE LINE IS BRINGING THE PRESSURE.

>> Referee: FACEMASK.

15-YARD PENALTY RESULTING IN A 1st DOWN.

>> Matt: SO CHAT FEELS GOES TO THE SIDELINES OR IS THE PENALTY ON WESTLAKE?

I ASSUME IT WAS ON THE TACKLERS INSTEAD OF THE BLOCKERS.

>> Matt: NUMBER 48 WORKING THROUGH THE DOUBLE TEAM TRYING TO GET AJ BROWN DOWN.

YOU CAN SEE HIM ON THE GROUND BEING HIS OWN REFEREE.

GRABBING HIS FACEMASK AND LETTING HIM KNOW I GOT PULLED.

>> Matt: SO 1st DOWN FOR CRISP AT THE 41.

THAT'S THE SECOND 1st DOWN FOR HIM AT THAT POINT OF THE GAME.

MERRELL ON THE CARRY.

THE BALL TONIGHT.

>> Matt: THEY CAN PLAY BOTH WAYS.

FAST, PHYSICAL.

KENTUCKY, TROY, LIBERTY.

>> Matt: PRETTY GOOD OFFERS FOR JUNE.

MERRELL AGAIN RUNS RIGHT INTO THE LINE THIS TIME.

DOMINATING DEFENSE BY WESTLAKE TONIGHT.

THE DEFENSE PLAYED VERY WELL LAST WEEK IN A LOST TO NUMBER THREE N. COBB.

TWO OR THREE TIMES, AMIR DWIGHT HAS LOST HIS HELMET.

>> Wayne: VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DEFENSIVE FRONT OF WESTLAKE.

WE KNEW WHAT THEY HAD ON THE BACKEND BUT THESE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN, PETERS AS WE TALKED ABOUT, SMITH, JOHN BETTS, THEY HAVE BEEN DISRUPTIVE AND GETTING IN THE ACTION.

THEY ARE TAKING GAPS, USING ATHLETICISM AND THEY HAVE REALLY DOMINATED THE DEFENSIVE LINE OF CRISP COUNTY.

>> Matt: IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I SAW A DEFENSE PERFORMANCE THIS DOMINATING.

SWINGING TO GET THAT GUY WHO TRIPS HIM UP.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT SHORT OF THE 1st DOWN.

SO 4th DOWN COMING UP.

>> Wayne: HE WANTS PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE, TRYING TO DIRECT TRAFFIC TO CREATE THE 1st DOWN.

THIS IS THAT HARD PLAY THAT COACH RICO ZACKERY TALKED ABOUT FOR AVIEON TERREL.

>> Matt: THIRD BACK DOWN AND 2.

I SAID IT WAS 4th DOWN BUT IT'S 2nd DOWN.

LOOK AT THAT PURSUIT AGAIN.

THEY CALL THAT THE STRIKER POSITION.

>> Wayne: KJ MERRELL TRYING TO GET A STUTTER STEP.

NOT FALLING FOR IT IS PETERSON.

>> Matt: 13 OFFERS.

GOT SOME GOOD ONES.

MICHIGAN, OLE MISS, THE PANTHERS.

4th AND 5, PUNTING SITUATION.

YOU CAN HEAR THE HIGH SCHOOL PROXIMITY TO HARTFIELD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN THE BACKGROUND.

YOU CAN HEAR AIRPLANES LANDING.

TIMEOUT CALLED BY CRISP.

IT IS 33 -7 LIONS ON TOP.

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LION'S DEN.

YOUR SCORE IS 33 -7 AND GAMES ARE HAVING FINALS ALL OVER THE STATE.

WAITING TO BE ON THE POST GAME SHOW.

THEY ALSO JUST CALLED THE GAME 29 -NOTHING OVERSTOCK RIDGE BECAUSE OF WEATHER.

THAT IS OVER AND THEY GET THE W. A BIG UPDATE ON MY REVENGE LIST.

WALTON VERSUS BROOKWOOD, WALTON UP 43 -20.

THE BRONCOS NOT GETTING THE REVENGE THEY QUITE WANT.

AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE COACHES CONFIRMED FOR POST GAME.

MAYBE JOHN ADAMS HANGING OUT, SO IF ANY FANS WITH TEAMS FROM BIG WINS OR LOSSES, HANG OUT FOR THE POST GAME SHOW.

>> Matt: A REMATCH OF THE QUARTERFINALS THAT YOU SAW LAST AUTUMN.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO GET THE SAME RESULTS AND THAT WALTON IS GOING TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER A SHOOT OUT LOSS TO MILLCREEK AT MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM ON SATURDAY.

GOING TO PUT UP THEIR SECOND EVEN UP THE RECORD AT 1 AND 1.

>> Wayne: JUST ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS THAT THEY WILL KEEP FIGHTING AND SCRATCHING AND NOT BEING OUT LONG.

>> Matt: THIS MAY BE A GPB FIRST FOR US.

-35 YARDS FOR CRISP COUNTY.

CAN THEY GET OUT OF A HOLE IN POSITIVE YARDAGE?

THEY ARE GOING TO NEED A BIG RUN.

A BIG PLAY TO GET OUT OF THE RED.

CHRISTIAN WILSON ON THE CARRY.

>> Wayne: KIND OF SURPRISING WITH FIVE MINUTES TO GO THAT YOU STILL HAVE SOME OF YOUR STARTING OFFENSIVE LINE OUT THERE.

REALLY THE ONLY STARTER THAT >> Matt: IT IS SURPRISING BUT AFTER WE TALKED WITH RICO ZACKERY IT'S NOT SURPRISING.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HEAR IF YOUR MOTOR IS NOT RUNNING YOU AREN'T PLAYING?

>> Wayne: THAT'S HIS MANTRA.

THAT'S THE KIND OF PLAYER HE'S LOOKING FOR.

>> Matt: YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP THAT TOUGHNESS.

>> Wayne: IT'S PRACTICE AT THAT KIND OF LEVEL.

>> Matt: GOING TO MAXIMIZE IT.

YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS IS A DIFFERENT TEAM FROM THE PAST.

QUARTERFINALS LAST YEAR, SEMI FINALIST IN 2020.

GREAT PROGRAM BUT A MUCH MORE TEAM, YOU CAN TELL WESTLAKE IS GOING TO BE BUILT AROUND DEFENSE AND RUNNING THE BALL.

NOT THAT THEY DID NOT RUN THE BALL IN THE PAST BUT UNDER BOBBY MAY, LOVE HIM TO DEATH, THEY WERE MORE OFFENSIVE MINDED AND HAVE HIRED A DEFENSIVE MINDED COACH IN RICO ZACKERY.

>> Wayne: WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT DEFENSE LIKE WESTLAKE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT SPECIAL- TEAMS THAT YOU CAN GET THE BALL AND BE ABLE TO PUNT, GET RETURNS.

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RUN GAME WHERE YOU CAN EAT UP THE CLOCK.

WE SAW THAT ON DISPLAY TONIGHT WITH BALL CONTROL, USING SHORT PASSES, RECEIVERS THAT GET THE BALL AND GET UP FIELD TO COMPLIMENT THE DEFENSE.

>> Matt: I'M GUESSING, ONE OF THE THINGS HE'S REALLY GOING TO BE PROUD ABOUT IS THAT NINE - MINUTE, 16 -PLAY DRIVE.

DIDN'T SCORE BUT IT TOOK NINE MINUTES.

>> Wayne: THAT MEANS THAT THE HALFTIME SPEECH WAS HEARD.

OFFENSE HAS THE BALL, STARTED THE SECOND HALF AND IT WAS LIKE SCORING A TOUCHDOWN WHEN THEY BLOCK OUT 26 POINTS AND YOU CAN TAKE THE DRIVE AND TAKE ALMOST 10 MINUTES OFF THE CLOCK.

>> Matt: WHEN CRISP COUNTY GOT THE BALL FINALLY WITH THREE MINUTES LEFT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SECOND HALF, HALF OF THE GAME, HALF OF THE SECOND HALF HAD VIRTUALLY BEEN WIPED OUT BEFORE THEY TOUCHED THE BALL AGAIN.

SO IT'S THIRD BACK DOWN AND 5 NOW.

PRESSURE IS COMING AND THEY CATCH IT AT THE 50.

IT WILL BE A FOOT RACE AND JABARI JONES IS GOING TO GET INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE A 90-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM RJ JOHNSON TO JABARI JONES.

>> Wayne: I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS TEAM TAKE ANY SHOTS DOWN THE FIELD HERE TRYING TO CLOSE OUT THE GAME AND GOING DEEP TO JABARI JONES WHO WE HAVE SEEN TAKE SHORT PASSES AND WORK FOR FOUR OR FIVE HARD YARDS.

THIS TIME, AN EARLY READ, A LITTLE MOVEMENT.

DOUBLE CLUTCHING ON THE CATCH AND IT'S A FOOT RACE INTO THE END ZONE NOT ABLE TO RUN IT DOWN WAS AJ BROWN.

LOOKED LIKE HE WAS CRAMPING.

KNOWS WHAT KIND OF WORK HE HAS TO DO TONIGHT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

WHAT A TIME TO GO DOWN DEEP.

BEAUTIFUL THROW TO GIVE THE RECEIVER A CHANCE.

FOOT RACE, A LITTLE STIFF ARM.

MAY HAVE GOT AWAY WITH A POLL TO GET INTO THE END ZONE, JABARI JONES.

>> Matt: THIRD TOUCHDOWN PASS OF THE NIGHT FOR RJ JOHNSON.

CAREER TOUCHDOWN PASS, NUMBER 60, 61, AND 62.

AND THE SCORING DRIVE BROUGHT TO BY THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.

95 YARDS, 90 OF THEM COMING ON THAT PLAY TO JABARI JONES.

>> Wayne: WHAT HIS COACH TALKED ABOUT, NOT BEING RATTLED.

HAD A LITTLE PRESSURE BUT STILL DECIDED TO STICK WITH THE PLAY AND GO DEEP FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> Matt: SO THAT WILL BLOW UP STATS A LITTLE BIT AND JONES SIX CATCHES FOR 140.

FOR ALL THE OPPONENTS WHO WILL BE WATCHING THIS GAME FILM.

WE CAN HIT YOU DEEP, TOO.

HAD NOT DONE IT ALL NIGHT BUT WE CAN HIT YOU DEEP.

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE THOSE KIND OF ATHLETES WITH JONES, WHEN TERREL FLIPS OVER AND PLAYS RECEIVER.

WE SAW IT EARLY ON WITH AHMAD BUTLER, THE BIG TIGHT END.

SO THEY HAVE THOSE WEAPONS.

>> Matt: SLIDING DOWN TRYING TO MAKE A CUT.

CRISP COUNTY WITH THREE MINUTES LEFT IN THIS GAME.

THAT WAS TRAE WALKER ON THE RETURN.

HOPEFULLY HE'S NOT HURT TOO BADLY.

HASN'T GOTTEN UP YET.

>> Wayne: LOOK LIKE ON THE CUT HIS FEET CAME OUT FROM UNDER HIM, HE WAS POINTING TO HIS HEAD.

IN THE HEAD AS HE WAS SLIDING DOWN TRYING TO AVOID THE TACKLE.

>> Wayne: GOOD BLOCKING INITIALLY.

>> Matt: IT'S THE INITIAL CONTACT RIGHT HERE WITH THE HAND.

HE IS SLIDING DOWN THE WESTLAKE PLAYER COMING IN TO MAKE THE TACKLE AND GOT AN ARM BAR THAT THE TACKLE WAS TRYING TO BE MADE.

>> Matt: ONE PLAYER THEY CANNOT MOVE TO HAVE SUCCESS.

ONLY TOUCHDOWN ON THE BOARD.

>> Matt: LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING CRISP WILL HAVE TO REGROUP.

THEY HAVE SOME BIG GAMES COMING UP.

LOVEJOY, NORTHSIDE HARBER COLUMBUS, AND THE CLOSEOUT AT THOMASVILLE ON OCTOBER 28.

SO A DIFFICULT ROAD AHEAD AS THEY TRY TO REGROUP FROM THIS LOSS.

WESTLAKE, NEXT GAME COMING UP, NUMBER ONE CEDAR GROVE.

>> Wayne: IT'S LIKE COACH RICO ZACKERY SCHEDULED IT THAT WAY.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE CEDAR GROVE, STILL HAVE A GAME AGAINST 7A DEFENDING CHAMPION WHO'S GOING TO HOST CARROLLTON IN OCTOBER.

>> Wayne: WITH THIS KIND OF DEFENSE, THAT LINE CONTINUES TO GET PRESSURE.

THE WAY THEY CAN PLAY AT THE >> Matt: LET'S SEE WHO GETS ON TOP OF IT.

SCORE, TOUCHDOWN WESTLAKE.

BRYSON OLIVER SCOOPS IT UP AND SCORES.

>> Wayne: TRYING TO TAKE THE HAND OFF FROM AJ BROWN.

BUT ACTUALLY HARTAGE IS IN AT QUARTERBACK.

>> Matt: A 17-YARD SCOOP AND SCORE AND IS BLOCKED.

IT'S 46 -7.

>> Referee: THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL.

>> Wayne: TYPICALLY THE OUTSIDE RUSH GUY CAN GET HIS WHOLE BODY OVER THE BALL AND IF HE CAN HE HAS PROBABLY JUMPED OFFSIDES.

MAY GET A HAND ON IT BUT WHEN YOU GET YOUR OWN NUMBER OVER THE BALL I THINK IT'S A GIVEAWAY THAT YOU JUMPED OFFSIDES.

>> Matt: SO WESTLAKE WILL GET ANOTHER SHOT AT IT HERE AND THE KICK IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

IT'S 47 -7.

SO A COUPLE OF LATE TOUCHDOWNS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER TO STRETCH OUT THAT LEAD.

A LOT OF TIMES WE SAY THE FINAL SCORE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF HOW CLOSE THE GAME WAS?

NOW THE FINAL SCORE IS INDICATIVE OF HOW FAR THESE TWO TEAMS WERE SEPARATED TONIGHT.

>> Wayne: THAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE, THE CRISP COUNTY OFFENSE, BEING IN THE NEGATIVE WITH YARDS.

IT'S WHAT COACH SMITH TALKED ABOUT.

HE TAKES THESE KIND OF GAMES AGAINST THIS KIND OF COMPETITION TO GET THIS TEAM READY.

>> Jon: SOME FINAL SCORES AND UPDATES AROUND THE STATE SINCE WE ARE UNDER THREE MINUTES TO GO.

DOWN IN SOUTH GEORGIA APPLING COUNTY A BIG WINNER THIS WEEK AND ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE ORDER WARGAMES.

BLACHLY COUNTY WHICH I KNOW YOU AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT TO REALLY MAKE SOME NOISE.

A BIG WIN OVER WILCOX COUNTY TONIGHT 46 -14.

SO JASON CAMERON GOES 2 AND 0 WITH A 48 -NOTHING WIN.

MORE SCORES AS WE GO.

BAINBRIDGE HEADING TO THE FOURTH IN A TIGHT ONE.

MORE IN JUST A BIT.

>> Matt: THEY ARE PLAYING IN SINGLE-A.

THEY ARE ANOTHER TEAM TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON.

11 AND 3 A YEAR AGO BRINGING PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY BACK.

WALKER AS WELL SO CRISP COUNTY WILL GET THE CHANCE TO RUN A FEW MORE PLAYS WITH 2:44 LEFT ON THE CLOCK.

>> Wayne: GLAD TO SEE HIM BACK IN THAT SITUATION AS VALUABLE AS HE IS TO THIS TEAM.

GOOD TO SEE HIM AND KNOW THAT HE CAN COME BACK INTO THE GAME AND HE'S ONE OF THE BEST WEAPONS TO HAVE SUCCESS, TRAE WALKER.

COACH SMITH IS GOING TO THAT PLAY UNTIL THE END MENTALITY.

HE HAS HIS MAIN GUYS IN WITH 2:44 LEFT.

>> Matt: ONE OF THE POSITIVES FOR THE COUGARS TONIGHT.

HARTAGE WILL HAND OFF THE BALL AND AGAIN, NOTHING IN THE RUNNING GAME.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A RUNNING GAME GETS SMOTHERED LIKE WESTLAKE HAS DONE.

>> Wayne: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE FRONT REGARDLESS OF WHO IS IN THE GAME.

THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY AND PLAY AFTER PLAY, PLAYING IN THE BACKFIELD.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT COACH SMITH IS DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE TO TIDY UP IN HIS OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> Matt: 2nd DOWN AND 13 AS WE APPROACH THE TWO MINUTES MARK.

HARTAGE OVERTHROWS HIS MAN WALKER AND IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD BACK DOWN.

FRUSTRATION IN HIS BODY LANGUAGE.

TOUGH FOR THOSE KIND OF GUYS LIKE WALKER AND BROWN.

THEY ARE SENIORS AND ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THE LEADERSHIP THAT GETS THIS TEAM TO BOUNCE BACK.

>> Matt: HE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE BALL WAS SO POORLY OVERTHROWN.

HARTAGE INTO THE AIR AND THIS WILL BE CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC BY LADARIUS SMITH.

SMITH IN TRAFFIC.

COACH TALKED ABOUT IT.

HE HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIRST DOWN CATCH.

IT'S GOING TO GO OVER TO WESTLAKE WITH 1:17 LEFT ON THE CLOCK.

>> Wayne: HE WAS ABLE TO GET INSIDE THE CORNER BUT NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH THE CATCH.

>> Matt: CRISP IS GOING TO FINISH 0 FOR 10 ON 3rd DOWN CONVERSIONS.

>> Wayne: TOUGH NIGHT FOR THIS OFFENSE ALL AROUND.

A LOT OF THAT IS WESTLAKE DEFENSE BRINGING PRESSURE CREATING 3rd AND LONG ON MOST OF THOSE OCCASIONS ON 3rd DOWN AND THEN JUST SMOTHERING THE QUARTERBACK NOT GIVING ANY TIME TO STEP UP IN THE POCKET, MAKE PLAYS FROM THE POCKET.

ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE UNDER DURESS.

>> Matt: FROM 350 FROM 352 -28.

THAT'S PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE.

PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE FOR A TEAM THAT CAME IN RANKED NUMBER 6.

STAY QUARTERFINALS, CRISP COUNTY OVERMATCHED FROM THE OPENING WHISTLE HERE TONIGHT.

>> Wayne: THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW QUICKLY THEY HAVE TO FORGIVE THIS GAME SOMETIMES.

THIS IS WHERE COACH DOESN'T EVEN WATCH THE FILM.

HE STARTS FRESH.

LET YOUR CONFIDENCE GROW.

THEY DO HAVE TALENT, A BIG OFFENSIVE LINE AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE KEY TO THEM BOUNCING BACK.

HOW FAST CAN THEY GET THIS BEHIND THEM?

>> Matt: WE HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH COACHES LEADING UP TO THE GAME THIS WEEK.

THERE WILL BE BETTER DAYS AHEAD FOR THE COUGARS BUT TONIGHT, EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT ON THIS TRIP TO ATLANTA.

FINAL PLAY.

HAWKINS ON THE RUN AND THERE IS A FLAG DOWN.

CHECK THE CALL.

PERSONAL FOUL ON THE DEFENSE.

1st DOWN.

>> Matt: SO THAT'S A 1st DOWN WITH ONE SECOND LEFT ON THE CLOCK.

SEE WHAT WESTLAKE DOES IF THEY RUN ANOTHER PLAY OR IF THEY TAKE A KNEE.

I GUESS THEY ARE JUST SNAPPING AND GOING TO TAKE A KNEE.

>> Matt: THAT'S GOING TO BE IT.

WESTLAKE WINS IT, 47 - 7.

THE FIRST VICTORY FOR HEAD COACH RICO ZACKERY AS THE LIONS HAD COACH.

AND A SUCCESSFUL RETURN FROM THREE YEARS ON STAFF OF KENNESAW STATE.

A WIN TONIGHT OVER THE YOUNG MEN FROM CORDELE, GEORGIA.

>> Wayne: THEY PLAY FROM THE DEFENSE, THEY LOOK TO THEM TO CREATE SHORT FIELDS, MAKE PLAYS, AND THEN RELY ON SPECIAL TEAMS AS WELL AS WE SAW IN THE PUNT GAME.

AVIEON TERREL, AND THEN THE OFFENSE ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH JAI'DEN THOMAS CONTROLLING THE LINE, THE YOUNG OFFENSIVE LINE AND RJ JOHNSON SEEMING TO GET A GRASP OF THE OFFENSE.

QUICK READS GETTING THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS.

>> Matt: SO 47 -7 THE FINAL AS THEY APPROVE TO 1 AND 1 AHEAD OF THE MATCHUP AGAINST CEDAR GROVE NEXT WEEK.

CHRIS GAUDI FALLS TO 1 AND 1 AND ONCE AGAIN WILL BE PLAYING A HIGHER CLASSIFICATION WHEN THEY WELCOME THE LOVEJOY WILDCATS.

BUT YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH WESTLAKE.

THEY ARE JUST AS GOOD AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, JUST GOING ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT WAY UNDER HEAD COACH RICO ZACKERY BUT THEY WILL BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN REGION II 7A THE SEASON.

>> Wayne: DEFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY AS HE TALKED ABOUT.

LOOKING FOR PLAYERS THAT WANT AND WANT TO LEAVE IT OUT ON THE FIELD ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST HALF DEFENSIVELY.

A SWARM OF DEFENDERS AND DIFFERENT GUYS DOMINATING THEIR POSITION, DOMINATING THEIR MAN.

>> Matt: STICK AROUND.

OUR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME IS STANDING ON DECK AND WILL BE TALKING WITH JOHN NELSON IN A FEW MOMENTS ALONG WITH HEAD COACH RICO ZACKERY PICKING UP HIS FIRST WIN AS THE LIONS HAD COACH AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT IT'S THE POST GAME SHOW.

HANNAH WILL STEP IN AND ALONG WITH JOHN NELSON THEY ARE GOING TO BE TALKING TO ALL OF THE COACHES AROUND THE STATE.

>> Jon: THREE EARLY TOUCHDOWNS MEANS THAT JAI'DEN THOMAS IS THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME.

THE NATURAL CHOICE FOR GEORGIA.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE GAME HERE AND I THIS SO I'M GOING TO BE YOU TO THE PUNCH.

THAT'S GIVE CREDIT TO THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR CLEARING HOLES.

WHAT IS IT LIKE RUNNING BEHIND THOSE GUYS AND LOSING A TOUGH ONE LAST WEEK COMING BACK TODAY?

>> EVERY DAY AT PRACTICE WE WORK HARD FOR THIS.

COACH IS A GREAT COACH.

SO I TRUST THOSE GUYS.

>> IF I HAD TOLD YOU THAT FINAL SCORE WAS GOING TO BE THE FINAL SCORE AND THAT YOU WERE GOING TO WIN AGAINST A TOUGH AAA TEAM BY 40 WHAT WOULD YOU TELL ME?

EXCELLENT USE OF THE TOWEL BY THE WAY.

IF I TOLD YOU IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS KIND OF A MARGIN AND YOU WOULD BE THIS DOMINANT WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE TOLD ME?

>> I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THIS HARD WORK WE PUT IN FROM THE SUMMERTIME IS NOTHING.

THIS IS US RIGHT HERE.

>> Wayne: WHAT WAS THE WEEK OF PRACTICE LIKE FOR THIS TOUGH LOSS?

>> HE HAD A HARD LIST, LOOKED OVER FILM, STUDIED PLAYS, ALL OF THAT.

>> Jon: NEW HEAD COACH, NEW SYSTEM TRYING TO GET ADJUSTED TO THINGS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT COACH WANTS YOU TO DO.

GOOD WAY TO WORK THINGS HERE TONIGHT AT HOME.

WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE GETTING ADJUSTED TO A NEW SET OF THINGS KNOWING THE EXPECTATIONS ARE STILL THE SAME?

>> IT'S BEEN KIND OF HARD BUT I'VE BEEN PUSHING THROUGH TRYING TO GET THIS NEW OFFENSE READY.

THE OFFENSIVE SCHEME IS SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR SO IT WAS EASY FOR ME AT FIRST BUT THEN STARTED TO GET HARDER AS WE GOT MORE CONCEPTS IN.

>> Matt: THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME.

THE NATURAL CHOICE FOR GEORGIA.

RICO.

THE BEAUTY OF LIVE TV.

WELL DONE.

YOU GET TO KEEP THAT STUFF.

HOT TAG.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST WIN BACK IS A HIGH SCHOOL COACH.

WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE THIS WEEK AFTER THAT TOUGH LOSS TO COME BACK OUT HERE TONIGHT AND DOMINATE THE WAY THAT YOU HAD A?

>> I THOUGHT THE KIDS PRACTICED REALLY HARD THIS WEEK AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE LEVEL WE PLAYED AT LAST WEEK.

WE THOUGHT WE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN THE GAME BUT JUST PLAYING IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THAT ONLY MAKES YOU BETTER SO THAT'S WHY WE PLAY THESE GAMES.

WE LIKE TO PLAY THESE GAMES, THEY ARE LIKE PLAYOFF GAMES AND THEY JUST CONTINUE TO MAKE US BETTER.

>> -28 YARDS iCLOUD.

OBVIOUSLY A LOT TO BE PROUD OF IN THAT REBOUND FROM THE LOSS LAST WEEK.

>> DEFENSE IS PLAYING HARD RIGHT NOW.

WE MAKE MISTAKES AND WE HAVE SOME THINGS WE NEED TO CLEAN UP BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY PLAY SO HARD THAT THEY MAKE UP FOR A LOT OF MISTAKES SO I CAN'T REALLY SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW THEY ARE PLAYING.

THEY JUST NEED TO CONTINUE DOING THAT.

>> Wayne: ARE YOU JUST AS PROUD OF THE DRIVE IN THE THIRD QUARTER THAT TOOK OF NINE MINUTES EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T GET ANY POINTS?

ARE YOU JUST AS PROUD OF HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT YOU CAN CARRY FORWARD AS YOU ARE WITH THE DEFENSIVE EFFORT TONIGHT?

>> YOU WANT TO WORK ON FINISHING THE GAME AND THE DRIVE WAS SORT OF FINISHING THE GAME BUT YOU WANT THEM TO PUT IT IN THE END ZONE WHICH IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON.

>> Jon: CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING A WIN.

BIG WIN, 47 -7.

CONGRATS, GO CELEBRATE WITH YOUR TEAM.

WHEN THE GAME IS OVER, IT'S NOT REALLY OVER.

WE HAVE A LOT MORE GROUND TO COVER AND A LOT OF ACTION ON GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

BE SURE TO JOIN US FRIDAY NIGHT.

FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA COMING TO YOU FROM GEORGIA AS EAGLES PLAY HOST TO THE BROOKWOOD BRONCOS.

REMEMBER IT ALL STARTS WITH RECRUITING 2022 AT 7:00 THE CLOCK AND THE GAME OF THE WEEK AT 7:30.

A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE.

47 -7 WESTLAKE BEATS CRISP.

WAYNE?

A TREMENDOUS PERFORMANCE BY RJ JOHNSON.

AVIEON TERREL HAD A 65-YARD KICK RETURN TOUCHDOWN.

THE PUNT RETURN, AND 47 -7 THE FINAL AS WESTLAKE WINS IN DOMINATING FASHION.

NOW FOR WAYNE GANDY AND THE ENTIRE TEAM, I'M MATT STEWART.

SO LONG FOR NOW, THE POST GAME SHOW IS NEXT.

>>> WELCOME INTO THE GPB SPORTS POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.

THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY IS REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

WE HAD A GOOD ONE TONIGHT.

THE GAME OF THE WEEK AT THE LION'S DEN.

IT WAS WESTLAKE VERSUS CRISP COUNTY AND WESTLAKE WAS TOO MUCH FOR THE COUGARS, WINNING 47 -7.

I WANT TO BRING IN MY PARTNER IN CRIME WHO WAS ON THE FIELD TO TALK ABOUT THIS BIG WIN.

IT WAS HEAD COACH RICO ZACKERY'S FIRST WIN AS A LION.

SOME BIG PLAYMAKERS.

RJ JOHNSON, AVIEON TERREL, AND WHAT YOU SAW TONIGHT >> Jon: THAT'S WHY WANTED TO ASK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE BIG ONES UP FRONT IT REALLY MAKES IT EASY FOR WESTLAKE TO WORK OFFENSIVELY AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL TALENTS ESPECIALLY ON SPECIAL-TEAMS AND THE PUNT RETURN THAT HAPPENED IN FRONT OF ME AND KENNY PRICE, THEY GET THE MOMENTUM THAT CARRIES YOU THROUGH.

BIG WIN AGAINST THE TEAM IN CRISP COUNTY.

>> Matt: WE HAVE HAD COACH ALAN CHADWICK OF MARIST WAITING TO BE BROUGHT ON.

WE DON'T PICK FAVORITES BUT I LOVE HEAD COACH CHADWICK.

BIG WIN OVER PIKE ROAD ON THE ROAD 33 -22.

THAT IS A BIG ROAD TRIP.

>> IT'S A HUGE WIN FOR US.

REALLY PROUD OF OUR KIDS AND HOW HARD THEY PLAYED TONIGHT.

THEY GAVE US EVERYTHING THEY HAVE.

A LOT OF BREAKS AND INJURIES BUT THEY CAME DOWN PREPARED TO GIVE US A GREAT WEEK OF PREPARATION THIS WEEK AT PRACTICE.

THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK CAME IN AND EXECUTED VERY WELL.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF BIG FIGHTS ON DEFENSE.

AN INTERCEPTION RETURN AND THAT ENDED UP BEING THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME SO I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF THE EFFORT OF OUR PLAYERS AND EXCITED ABOUT THE BIG WIN.

>> COACH, IT'S JON.

I HEARD THAT 400 TICKETS WERE SOLD FOR THE MARIST COMMUNITY TO MAKE THIS TRIP TO MONTGOMERY.

THAT IS A LUNCH AND DINNER TRIP BUT SAYS A LOT WITH WHAT FOOTBALL MEANS ON FRIDAY NIGHTS.

>> WE HAD GREAT SUPPORT AND PARENTS SHOWED UP IN FORCE AND SUPPORTED US WELL AND WE ARE EXCITED TO GIVE THEM A GOOD WIN TO GO BACK HOME WITH ON A LONG ROAD TRIP.

>> YOU WENT FROM CLASS IV A TWO 6 A.

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN ABOUT THE RECLASSIFICATION IN THE COMPETITION?

>> WE ARE A VERY YOUNG FOOTBALL TEAM.

WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH SIZE AS WE NORMALLY HAVE SO IT'S A BIG CHALLENGE AND NOW INJURIES ARE STARTING TO PILE UP ON US SO WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO GET BETTER AND KEEP WORKING HARD BUT THAT'S WHAT THESE KIDS ARE DOING, GIVING US EVERYTHING THEY HAVE.

AND THEY ARE LETTING US COACH THEM HARD AND WE ARE IMPROVING.

WE IMPROVED A GREAT DEAL AND HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING NEXT WEEK.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE YOU JUST WALKED OFF OF THE FIELD SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.

>> WE CERTAINLY DID AND IT WAS RAINING DOWN HERE AND THERE'S NO SHOWERS HERE AND WE HAVE TO GET ON THE BUS AND GO HOME.

>> THAT'S GOING TO BE A SMELLY RIDE.

DRIVE SAFE, GUYS.

>> NO SHOWER.

OKAY, THAT WILL BE A UNIQUE RIDE HOME.

I THINK YOU HAD THE RIGHT ADJECTIVE.

BUT 7-6 PIKE ROAD EARLY AND THEN MARIST WITH AN EARLY SCORE IN THE SECOND AND THEN THE 65- YARD PICK FOR A SCORE AND THEY WERE UP 26 -7 AT ONE POINT.

ACTUALLY 33 -7.

33 -14 AND WITH THE ROAD TRIP I THINK THAT PIKE ROAD TRIED TO CLOSE THE GAP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE MARIST, THE ROAD TRIP GETTING TO YOU IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER BUT PIKE ROAD DOWN A LOT, COULD NOT MAKE THE COME BACK.

THEY HAD THE ONSIDE KICK LATE BUT A BIG WIN AND APPARENTLY THE OFFENSE WAS CONFUSING PIKE ROAD DEFENSE ALL NIGHT LONG BECAUSE IT IS ASSIGNMENT FOUR AND IF YOU ARE NOT USED TO IT IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT FOR YOU DEFENSIVELY.

IT IS DIVE, KEEP, PITCH, AND CONFUSED PIKE ROAD ALL NIGHT LONG.

>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT REVENGE GAMES ON THE DNC SCOREBOARD.

DID ANY OF THOSE REVENGE GAMES GET AVENGED?

>> YOU HAVE THE SOUTH PAULDING AND CARROLLTON, THAT ONE WAS CLOSE BUT DID NOT QUITE GET TO THE AVENGING PART.

YOU AND MATT TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WALTON AND BROOKWOOD.

AND IT WAS A BIG WIN IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH BENEDICTINE AND CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

THEY LOST LAST YEAR TO CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS TIED AT 7 DOWN IN SOUTH FLORIDA BUT FROM THERE IT WAS CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

A BIG WIN BUT HE WINS BOTH LEGS THIS YEAR.

>> SPEAKING OF, WE HAD HAD COACH WAITING TO CHAT WITH US.

THAT IS GREAT LIVE TV.

THEY DEFEATED BROOKWOOD 34 - 20.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR GAME TONIGHT.

CAN YOU HEAR US, COACH?

>> I SURE CAN.

>> YOU DEFEATED BROOKWOOD 34 - 20.

TELL ME ABOUT THE GAME.

BROOKWOOD WAS TRYING TO AVENGE THE PLAYOFF LOSS.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT RESPONDING ALL LAST WEEK AND FELT LIKE WE HAD A CHANCE BUT DID SOME THINGS THAT WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

THE SQUADS ARE PHENOMENAL, THEY STARTED SLOW BUT GOT IT GOING AND CAME UP THE RIGHT WAY.

>> Jon: COACH, A LOT OF TIMES YOU WONDER WHAT IS GOING TO COME FIRST.

IS IT DEFENSE BEFORE OFFENSE OR OFFENSE BEFORE DEFENSE?

WHICH SIDE OF THE BALL IS COMING TOGETHER FASTER FROM THESE FIRST TWO GAMES?

>> I WOULD HAVE TO SAY OFFENSE.

A PLAYED A STELLAR GAME LAST WEEK AND DEFENSE STRUGGLED AGAINST A VERY GOOD MILLCREEK TEAM BUT WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT OURSELVES AND FOR US IT WAS ALL ABOUT GETTING BACK TO DOING THINGS THAT WE DO.

BEING DISCIPLINED ON THE SIDE OF THE BALL, A COUPLE OF LOAN COVERAGES LAST WEEKEND WERE ABLE TO CLEAN UP A LOT OF THAT THIS WEEK.

THE OFFENSE WAS CLICKING BUT DEFENSE STEPPED UP AND DID A NICE JOB.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE YOU TAKE OFF A WEEK BEFORE FACING POPE.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON WORKING ON?

WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY GUYS DINGED UP AND YOU NEVER WANT TO BE BEAT UP EARLY IN THE SEASON OR ANY TIME IN THE SEASON BUT FIRST GAME AND WE HAVE GUYS IN POSITIONS WE DID NOT PLAN ON THEM PLAYING.

EARLY IN THE GAME WE HAD TO PULL SOME GUYS AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE JUST TRYING TO LIVE BY THE NEXT MAN UP MENTALITY AND BUILD A BENCH AND WE ARE PLAYING GUYS GETTING SOME EXPERIENCE THAT WE HOPE WILL HELP US DOWN THE ROAD SO THE TEAM IS GETTING HEALTHY, LEARNING FROM MISTAKES AND GETTING BETTER.

>> WHICH BUS ARE YOU ON?

>> THE FIRST BUS.

>> THEY ARE AWFULLY QUIET AFTER A BIG WIN.

>> NO DOUBT.

WE PARTED A LITTLE BEFORE WE GOT OUT OF THERE BUT HOPEFULLY THEY ARE RELAXING BACK THERE ON THEIR WAY DOWN.

>> HERE AT THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY WE HOPE YOU GUYS GET HOME SAFE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, GO RAIDERS.

>> WE HAVE MORE COACHES BUT WE ARE GOING TO STEP ASIDE AND TAKE A QUICK BREAK.

MORE FROM THE POST GAME SHOW NEXT.

>> FOOTBALL FRIDAY'S IN GEORGIA IS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY REMINDING YOU TO BE SAFE ON EVERY TRIP.

BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP AND BE SAFE IF YOU ARE HEADING HOME TONIGHT FROM WHEREVER YOU WERE.

I'M HANNAH GOODEN AND WE WILL CHECK BACK IN WITH JON IN A LITTLE BIT.

WE HAVE ROSWELL COACH CHRIS PRUITT WITH US.

THEY GOT A BIG WIN OVER CENTENNIAL.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME TONIGHT.

>> WE HAD A GOOD HARD-FOUGHT GAME.

GOOD TO BEAT YOUR CITY RIVAL AND MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THE CUP WITH THEM.

WE LIKE TO KEEP TROPHIES IN THE FIELD HOUSE IF WE CAN SO BEING ABLE TO COME AWAY WITH A VICTORY WAS GOOD FOR THE TEAM.

>> WE HAD YOU ON THE AIRWAVES LAST WEEK.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO START THE SEASON OFF 2 AND 0?

>> IT FEELS GOOD.

IT'S WHERE WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD BE AND WHERE WE ARE HOPING TO BE.

WE HAVE A TOUGH COUPLE OF GAMES COMING UP SO JUST TRYING TO HEADS LEVEL AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T GO TOO CRAZY.

>> BREAK DOWN WHAT IS CLICKING OFFENSIVELY FOR ME.

>> I THINK WE'VE HAD A GOOD SUCCESS RUNNING THE BALL AND ARE STILL WORKING ON GETTING STUFF TO PLAYMAKERS AND MAKING SURE WE ARE READING THE RIGHT THINGS AND MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS.

WHEN WE GET INTO TROUBLE I TALKED WITH JOHN LAST WEEK, IF WE HAVE MENTAL ERRORS WE GO BACKWARDS FAST BUT IF WE ARE FOCUSED AND MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS WE LOOK PRETTY SOLID UP FRONT AND WE HANDLE OURSELVES PRETTY WELL, I THINK.

>> YOU HAVE MARIETTA COMING UP NEXT FRIDAY.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO COME--PREPARE?

>> ENJOY THE WIN AND BE BACK AT IT IN THE MORNING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO TAKE CARE OF MARIETTA.

WINNING THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THREE YEARS AGO.

IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF TALENT AND SPEED AND COACHES COACH REALLY HARD AND COACH REALLY WELL SO WE WILL HAVE TO BE READY AND BE PREPARED.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME AND WE WILL TALK TO YOU SOON.

>> THANK YOU.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR GEORGIA EMT SCOREBOARD.

SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

THIS IS A REVENGE BOARD AND I WANT TO START BY GOING FROM SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TO MIAMI DEFENDING FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

BENEDICTINE LOOKING FOR REVENGE OVER COLUMBUS BUT NOT QUITE GETTING IT.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS OUT OF FLORIDA IS WINNING 35 -9 IN THE FOURTH.

SOUTH PAULDING WAS LOOKING TO AVENGE TWO LOSSES IN A ROW TO CARROLLTON.

IT HAS BEEN A CLOSE ONE ALL GAME WITH CARROLLTON UP 28 -21 IN THE FOURTH.

WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS GAME.

WALTON DEFEATED BROOKWOOD, BROOKWOOD DID NOT GET THEIR REVENGE FROM BEING KNOCKED OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS AND MIDDLE GEORGIA, NORTHSIDE HAVE A RECORD OF 2 AND 2 THE PAST FOUR YEARS.

LOOKS LIKE NORTHSIDE WILL BE THE TIEBREAKER IN THAT ONE.

AND LAST YEAR WASHINGTON COUNTY RALLY BACK FROM A BIG FOURTH QUARTER DEFICIT.

THE TIGERS DID NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

42 -NOTHING IS THE FINAL.

WE'VE GOT COACH BOONE ON THE LINE.

HUGE, BIG WIN TONIGHT.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME.

>> HEY HOW ARE YOU DOING?

IT WAS A HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE.

THEY WERE ABLE TO BE UP TO THE CHALLENGE.

>> YOU MENTIONED YOU WERE CHALLENGING THEM ALL WEEK.

WHAT WAS YOUR FOCUS?

>> FOCUS ON EXECUTION.

THEY ARE A WELL DISCIPLINED TEAM SO JUST EXECUTING WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AT.

UNBELIEVABLE EFFORT.

>> JON DO YOU WANT TO JUMP IN?

>> LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

WITH EXPECTATIONS BEING AS BIG AS THEY ARE FOR YOU THIS YEAR, HOW DO YOU HAVE THE GUYS FOCUSING ON THE TASK AT HAND IN FRONT OF THEM AS OPPOSED TO LOOKING AT ALL OF US SAYING THAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE AS HIGH AS THEY ARE?

HOW DO YOU TUNE OUT THE NOISE?

>> MY GUYS BOUGHT INTO THE MOTTO NO GAME IS BIGGER THAN THE NEXT GAME.

THE NEXT GAME IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.

AND THEY BOUGHT IN AND THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY NEED SO THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB WITH THAT.

NOT LOOKING FORWARD, NOT LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD.

WE HAVE TO TAKE IT ONE PLAY AT A TIME WHICH EQUALS ONE GAME AT A TIME.

>> COACH, TELL ME ABOUT WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET ANOTHER WIN?

>> LOCKING IN ON MONDAY TO FOCUS UP AND BE READY AND ROCK 'N ROLL.

THEY ARE A PRETTY GOOD TEAM AND THEY'VE BEEN ROLLING RECENTLY SO WE HAVE TO LOCK IN AND PLAY OUR BRAND OF FOOTBALL AND THEY WILL BE THERE NEXT FRIDAY IN MY GUYS WILL BE READY WITH SPUNK.

>> MY FAVORITE PART OF THE SHOW IS HAVING COACHES STEP OFF THE FIELD AND GIVE US A CALL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

I MEAN YOU ARE FRESH OUT OF THIS ONE.

>> I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN IN THE LOCKER ROOM YET.

>> WILL GO CELEBRATE WITH YOUR TEAM.

WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE GOING TO BE?

TELL US.

>> A MESSAGE TO THEM IS GOING TO BE TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS AND NOW IT'S OFF TO THE NEXT.

WE HAVE MAYBE A 30 -MINUTE RIDE AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO BE READY TO ROCK 'N ROLL.

>> DRIVE SAFE, COACH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> WE GOT THE POST GAME MESSAGE FIRST.

>> WHAT I WAS HOPING IS, MAYBE ONE OF THESE TIMES AS WE ARE GETTING A COACH WALKING OFF THE FIELD IS THAT HE CONTINUES TO HAVE US ON WITH HIM AS HE WALKS INTO THE MEETING TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE WITH US LIVE WITH HIM.

WE'VE GOTTEN EVERYBODY CELEBRATING ON THE BUS, NOW LET'S GET THEM WALKING INTO MEETINGS TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE.

>> FINAL SCORES ARE ROLLING IN.

WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN?

>> A LOT OF CRAZY STUFF OUT OF CENTRAL GEORGIA.

WHERE WAS IT?

NORTHSIDE OVER PEACH COUNTY WITH A SCORE OF 45 -7.

AND THEN HOUSTON COUNTY AND PERRY.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIND THE ACTUAL SCORE BECAUSE IT WAS 57 -56 SO I'VE GOT TO FIND THE CENTRAL GEORGIA ELEMENT OF IT ALL.

IT WAS 57 -56 AND HOUSTON COUNTY ENDED UP BEATING THEM A THRILLER WHICH IS MORE RESERVED FOR NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, JANUARY, OR FEBRUARY.

A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON IN MIDDLE GEORGIA RIGHT THERE.

>> WE ARE NOW GOING TO CATCH UP WITH HEAD COACH FRANKLYN STEVENS COACH, YOU JUST FELL 47 -21.

TALK ABOUT YOUR GAME AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE FROM YOUR TEAM GOING FORWARD.

>> YOU HAVE TO GIVE HE WAS THE CREDIT.

THEY ARE A GOOD, ATHLETIC FOOTBALL TEAM.

I THOUGHT WE PLAYED WELL AT TIMES.

I THOUGHT WE HAD ISSUES IN THE SECONDARY.

NOT TAKING ANYTHING WITH YOU THOUGH, WE HAVE FIVE BUSTS AND WE CANNOT DO THAT AGAIN SO I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THAT WE PLAYED AT CERTAIN POSITIONS BUT THOUGHT A LOT OF SCRIMMAGES WERE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE STRENGTH OF THIS TEAM AND KNEW THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE SOME ISSUES IN THE SECONDARY AS FAR AS, IT'S PAINFUL.

YOU DON'T LIKE IT AS A COACH BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG THOSE TEAMS ARE GOING TO FEEL LIKE YOU ARE CLOSE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU ARE A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM YOU FIND A WAY TO WIN THOSE TYPES OF GAMES.

YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING WITH YOU.

THOSE GUYS DID A GREAT JOB COMING HERE ON THE ROAD.

THEY HAD SOME ADVERSITY AND THEN THEY CAME OUT AND PERFORMED, THEY DID WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO WIN THE GAME.

UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT BUT MOVING FORWARD, WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS AND TO ME I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE KEYS AT THIS JUNCTION.

ONCE WE GET BETTER WITH THE FUNDAMENTALS AND THE EFFORT IS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE ALL OF A SUDDEN I THINK WE CAN GET A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM.

>> Jon: I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU AS WE ARE IN SEASON ONE WHICH YOU HOPE GETS YOU READY FOR SEASON 2, NON-REGION GETTING YOU READY FOR REGION WHICH GETS YOU READY FOR SEASON THREE WHICH IS PLAYOFFS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SOME OF THE OVERARCHING MESSAGING IS GOING TO BE FOR YOUR TEAM COMING OFF OF THIS GAME TONIGHT FOR THE REST OF YOUR NON-REGION SCHEDULE?

>> LIKE I SAID.

YOU CAN GO CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR.

I THOUGHT AT TIMES WE HAD OUR OPPORTUNITIES AND DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM WHETHER IT WAS TO DRIVE OFFENSIVELY TO GET A TOUCHDOWN OR IF WE NEEDED A STOP.

IT COMES DOWN TO, WE'VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE AND UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT, AS I TELL MY GUYS YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND FIGHT AND THAT'S PART OF IT.

WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING THIS CALIBER OF FOOTBALL, THERE'S NOT OF TIME ON THE SCHEDULE SO WEEK AFTER WEEK YOU HAVE TO GET LINED UP.

I THINK IN THE FRONT 7 THEY MAY HAVE HAD FOUR OR FIVE POWER FIVE GUYS AND TONIGHT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THEY HAD.

THEY HAD THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEN NEXT WEEK WE ARE GOING TO SEE DOUGLAS COUNTY AND THEY HAVE ONE OF THE TOP GUYS IN THE COUNTRY ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE AND TUCKER HAS A COUPLE OF THEM SO THERE'S NO REST FOR THE WEEKEND OF THE WEARY.

YOU HAVE TO COME IN ON MONDAY 6:30 IN THE MORNING.

YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET BETTER.

YOU CAN'T COME IN AND HAVE A MINDFRAME WHERE YOU FOCUS ON WHAT I NEED TO GET DONE AND NOT JUST WHAT I NEED TO GET DONE BUT I'M TRYING TO MAKE EVERYBODY ELSE BETTER AROUND ME.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND TONIGHT OF COURSE I GET THE BLAME FOR NOT HAVING GUYS PREPARED.

THEY HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND THAT'S WHAT GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM STEW.

>> YOU CAN GET BACK TO PRACTICE THIS WEEK AND PREPARE FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY.

WE WILL BE KEEPING OUR EYE ON THAT ONE.

>> WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

>> OKAY EVERYBODY WE HAVE MORE COMING UP ON THE POST GAME SHOW.

WE HAVE COACHES CALLING IN AS ALWAYS.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE, MORE NEXT.

>> WELCOME TO THE POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE SAFETY.

I'M HANNAH GOODEN.

LET'S CHECK BACK IN WITH JOHN NELSON AS WE WAIT FOR MORE COACHES TO JOIN US.

I HAVE TO SAY, MY LASSITER TROJANS GOT THE WIN AGAINST WHEELER.

>> I WAS HOPING ASSISTANCE SEEING HOW THEY DID.

DeKALB COUNTY MEDIA RELATIONS.

IF YOU COULD GIVE US THE SCORES THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> WE NEED THE LAKESIDE SCORE, COME ON NOW.

>> THEY LOST TO NORTHVIEW 30 - 6.

>> SO WE ARE 1 AND 1.

SO WE ARE 1 AND 1.

>> AND LAURA IS BLESSED TRINITY.

GUESTS LEAVING IN THE OFF- SEASON, THEY HAD A BIG LEAD I THINK UP 27 -3 AT ONE POINT SO IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE POST -JONATHAN GUESS ERA IS LENDING ITSELF TO.

THAT WILL BE A DEVELOPING STORY ALL SEASON LONG.

>> AND ANOTHER DEVELOPING STORY WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALL WEEK LONG IS THE NEW HEAD COACH SHAUNA CALHOUN.

WE TALKED WITH YOU ON MONDAY, GREAT TO CHAT AGAIN.

>> GREAT TO SEE YOU, HANNAH.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> YOU BEAT STOCK RIDGE 29 - NOTHING AND THE GAME WAS STOPPED DUE TO WEATHER.

TELL ME ABOUT THE DECISION.

>> WE GOT INTO HALFTIME AND THE LIGHTNING KEPT POPPING UP ALL AROUND.

WE BOTH WANTED TO PLAY BUT THEY HAD A LONG DRIVE HOME AND WE HAD A 45 MINUTE DELAY DELAY TO START THE GAME SO IT DIDN'T START UNTIL ABOUT 8:15 ANYWAY.

WE DECIDED TO JUST CALL IT.

>> NOTHING LIKE BEING INSIDE THE REC SINGLE WHEN FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS AND THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS.

WHEN YOU HAVE A GAME THAT STARTS LATE, GOES THE WAY THAT IT DOES, ENDS EARLY, WHAT LESSONS CAN YOU TAKE FROM THIS ONE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 29 - NOTHING WIN?

WHAT LESSONS CAN YOU APPLY TO THE NEXT GAME?

>> WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO APPLY OUR LIGHTNING DELAY LAST SATURDAY IN OUR FIRST GAME SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE BECOMING PROFESSIONALS DEALING WITH LIGHTNING DELAYS BUT OUR KIDS GET A, THEY DID A GREAT JOB AND STAY UP THE.

WE CAN'T CHANGE IT, CAN'T CONTROL IT, SO WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP FOCUSED AND LET THEM BE KIDS AND WARM THEM ATMOSPHERE TONIGHT.

>> WELL THE RAIN IS LUCKY BECAUSE YOU ARE 2 AND 0 WITH THE FIRST GAME AGAINST --37 - NOTHING.

STOCKBRIDGE 29 -NOTHING SO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DEFENSE AND HOW YOU WERE ABLE TO HOLD OFF ANY SCORING IN THOSE RAIN DELAY TO GAMES.

>> THE DEFENSE IS DOING A HECK OF A JOB.

WE PREACH ALL THE TIME TO PLAY FAST AND PLAY PHYSICAL AND THEY ARE SO TONIGHT WE STRIPPED IT.

WE HAD TWO INTERCEPTIONS THAT SET UP THE OFFENSE AND GREAT FIELD POSITION SO THE DEFENSE IS FLYING AROUND MAKING PLAYS AND WE ARE PLAYING A LOT OF PEOPLE SO COACH AND HIS STAFF ARE DOING A HECK OF A JOB AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN KEEP THIS UP.

>> ONE MORE BEFORE HANNAH SENDS SINCE SHE ASKED ABOUT DEFENSE LET ME ASK ABOUT OFFENSE.

I KNOW YOU'VE TAKEN A LOT OF PRIDE WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINE AND GETTING YARDAGE THAT YOU ARE FROM THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

TALK ABOUT THE GUYS UP FRONT AND WHAT THEY ARE HELPING CREATE FOR THE RUNNING GAME AND MAKE SURE YOUR QB IS AS PROTECTED AS HE HAS BEEN THESE LAST TWO GAMES.

>> FIRST GAME WE RUSHED FOR 300 TWENTYSOMETHING YARDS AND TONIGHT WE WERE MORE BALANCED THROWING AND RUSHING.

BUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE COACH IS FANTASTIC AND THAT UNIT IS STARTING TO GEL TOGETHER.

WE HAVE SIX OR SEVEN GUYS WE CAN PLAY AND EACH WEEK THEY KEEP PLAYING THEY ARE JUST GETTING BETTER AND STARTING TO MOVE AS ONE BECAUSE TONIGHT THE OPENING DRIVE WAS A 16 -PLAY DRIVE SO THERE WAS A HANDFUL OF 3rd DOWNS, 3rd IN SHORT, TIMES LIKE THAT OFFENSIVE LINE.

SO WE HOPE WE CONTINUE AND KEEP GETTING BETTER.

>> WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE OUR EYE ON THAT BIG HOME GAME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AGAIN THIS WEEK.

I KNOW WE'VE CHATTED A LOT SO WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

>> JOHN WAS A GOOD GUEST ON THE PODCAST.

TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE STORIES HE WAS SAYING.

>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS FOR HIM IS, ONE OF THE UNDERLYING STORIES WHEN IT COMES TO REGION ONE 7A, THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE FUN ONES AS WE GO INTO REGION PLAY.

YOU HAVE THE WINTERS THE CLASSIC WITH AS MUCH OF A TIE AS IT IS ALREADY AND THEN YOU ADD SEAN CALHOUN.

ALL THREE OF THEM WERE PART OF THE STAFF IN 2014 -2015 THAT WON THE CHAMPIONSHIPS SO TO ME THAT IS ONE OF THE MORE FUN ONES OF THE WHOLE DEAL WHERE YOU HAVE THREE COACHES IN ONE REGION FROM THE SAME COACHING TREE.

SO THEY ARE ON EACH OTHER'S SPEED DIAL EXCEPT FOR THE ONE NIGHT OF THE WEEK THEY ARE PLAYING EACH OTHER.

WE WISH EACH OTHER WELL EXCEPT WHEN WE ARE PLAYING THEM.

THE BIG TRIANGLE SEPARATED BY ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

>> AND THEY GET SHAKEN UP WITH RECLASSIFICATION.

TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW TEAMS.

>> YOU HAVE RICHMOND HILL.

AND YOU CAN CATCH OF THE INTERVIEW ON ALL OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA STORY AND ALL OF THIS, YOU HAVE CAME DID AS A PART OF IT.

VALDOSTA COMING UP FROM 6 A AND THEN RICHMOND HILL WHICH IS THE NEXT EXIT SOUTH OF SAVANNA AT THE EISENHOWER LOOP.

THEY WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON AND REALLY PACK A LUNCH, PACK A DINNER, MAYBE A MIDNIGHT SNACK.

THEY HAVE BACK TO BACK GAMES SO THERE'S NO HOME AND AWAY.

HE HAS BOTH OF THOSE AWAY GAMES THIS YEAR.

THIS SEASON HE HAS TO TRAVEL BACK TO BACK GAMES IN A THREE- WEEK PERIOD.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A WELCOME?

RICHMOND HILL HAS IT.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN FROM CHALLENGES BUT IT'S THE NASTIEST REGIONS THAT I'VE EVER SEEN FOR A FIRST YEAR TEAM JUMPING INTO IT.

>> WHILE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC OF RECLASSIFICATION WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN THE PAST FEW WEEKS THAT HAVE JUMPED OUT TO YOU?

ANY BIG SURPRISES?

>> YOU LOOK AT THE MATCHUPS AND WHAT SOMETIMES YOU ARE FORCED TO DO.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD RECLASSIFICATION SQUARED AWAY AND YOU KNEW WHAT THE REGION WAS GOING TO BE THEN YOU HAVE THE APPEALS PROCESS HAPPEN IN THE WINTER.

YOU ARE IN ANOTHER REGIONAL, YOUR SECOND REGION WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE IN YOUR FIRST REGION AND THEN YOU HAD TO ALMOST RESCHEDULE YOUR SCHEDULE SO YOU WILL END UP WITH SOME TEAMS WHO THOUGHT THEY HAD AN IDEA OF WHO THEY MIGHT PLAY AND THEN THEY HAD TO BREAK THAT DOWN.

THAT SCHEDULE GOT KNOCKED AWAY, WHO THEY WILL BE PLAYING THE SECOND TIME AROUND SO YOU HAVE TO LEARN ON THE FLY ABOUT SCHEDULING AND PATIENCE AND ALL THESE TYPES OF THINGS AND WHEN YOU HAVE TRAVEL FIGURED OUT, IT'S GROWING PAINS OF THE APPEALS PROCESS.

IT'S JUST ONE OF THE LESSONS THAT WE ALL HAVE NOW.

>> WE HAVE HAD COACH LOVELADY WITH US NOW.

49 -17.

WHAT WAS WORKING TONIGHT?

>> IT WAS A BARNBURNER THE FIRST QUARTER BACK AND FORTH.

GREAT SKILLS ESPECIALLY ON OFFENSE AND THAT WERE ADJUSTING TO ON OUR END.

GOT THE OFFENSE GOING, MIXING IN PASSING AND RUNNING GAMES AND A BIG PART OF OUR SUCCESS WAS SPECIAL-TEAMS DEFENSE.

IT WAS SOME GOOD FOOTBALL TONIGHT.

>> LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

ON A GRADING SCALE, HOWEVER YOU WANT FOR A GRADING SCALE, OVER THE FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON HOW DO YOU GRADE YOUR OFFENSE, YOUR DEFENSE, AND SPECIAL-TEAMS ON A SCALE OF 1- 10?

>> I WOULD PROBABLY SAY SPECIAL- TEAMS IS THE HIGHLIGHT.

EARLY IN THE SEASON A LOT OF TIMES YOU ARE FINDING YOUR IDENTITY ON DEFENSE AS FAR AS THE SECONDARY GUYS AND THE WAY WE PUT PRESSURES ON SECONDARIES.

IT DOESN'T HELP WHEN YOU GO AGAINST THEM THAT THEY HAVE SUCH ELITE TALENT IN THE OUT -- AND THE OFFENSE SO WE GOT A LOT BETTER.

WE HAVE SOME PLAYMAKERS AND WHEN WE RUSHED THE BALL, AS WELL.

>> WE SEE YOU ARE ON THE BUS.

YOU ARE AWAY LAST WEEK AND WILL BE AWAY AGAIN AGAINST ARCHER.

HOW DOES THAT START OFF THE SEASON BEING AWAY?

YOU WILL NOT BE HOME UNTIL SEPTEMBER 16 AGAINST CEDAR GROVE SO WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGE DOES THAT POSE?

>> NOT BEING AT HOME, YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH TRANSPORTATION AS FAR AS GET ON THE BUS EARLY FOR KICKOFF AT 7:00 O'CLOCK SO NOT AS MUCH REST TIME BUT IT'S ALSO A SHORT WEEK.

WHEN YOU PLAY SATURDAY EVENING WE HAD TO TRUST OUR KIDS AS FAR AS MONDAY WHICH IS A LIGHT DAY AND GET THE GAME PLAN AND AND IT WORKED OUT FOR US.

WE ARE TRYING TO FIND OUR IDENTITY BUT WEEKEND AND WEEK WE ARE VERY GOOD AND HERE COMES ARCHER WHICH IS A GOOD SQUAD.

>> THAT IS THREE TOUGH TEAMS.

WHAT BUS ARE YOU ON BY THE WAY?

>> WE ARE HEADED BACK HOME ON THE TEAM BUS --THE CHEESE BUS.

>> I DON'T SEE EVERYBODY BACK THERE.

ARE THEY ASLEEP?

>> HEY, GUYS.

>> CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME SO MUCH.

BE SAFE ON THAT BIG CHEESE.

>> THANK YOU ALL, APPRECIATE YOU.

>> THE BIG CHEESE.

>> THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF IT REFERRED TO AS THE BIG CHEESE.

I'VE HEARD IT AS THE YELLOW HOUNDS.

NOT GRAY BUT YELLOW.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM AS THE BIG CHEESE IS BEFORE.

>> WE BEEN CALLING IT THE BIG CHEESE FOREVER.

THAT IS SERIOUSLY THE FIRST TIME?

>> I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT AS THE BIG CHEESE.

I'VE HEARD YELLOW HOUNDS, SCHOOL BUSES, THE COUNTY BUS, BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD THE BIG CHEESE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WELL I'M BEING TOLD CURRENTLY THAT WE ARE ANNOUNCING NEXT WEEK'S GAME AND ARE ALLOWED TO ANNOUNCE NEXT WEEK'S WEB GAME.

WE WILL BE BROADCASTING THE BROOKWOOD BRONCOS AND COLLINSVILLE EAGLES ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 AT 7:30.

THE WEB GAME WILL BE A CENTRAL GEORGIA MATCHUP.

WARNER ROBINS VERSUS NORTHSIDE WARNER ROBINS.

7:30.

SIMULTANEOUSLY CAST AND WHAT WERE YOU CALLING THIS?

A SECOND SCREEN EXPERIENCE?

>> THE MULTI-SCREEN EXPERIENCE.

BUT YOU HAVE THEM WITH GLOBETROTTER GREG.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A GAME IN MIDDLE GEORGIA?

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE IF YOU HAVE A FREE FRIDAY NIGHT.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MOST YEARS IS THE FIRE MARSHAL IN HOUSTON COUNTY AND I AM NOT KIDDING.

MIKE DAVIS REST HIS SOUL WAS THE FIRE MARSHAL AND THE PLAY- BY-PLAY GUY FOR A LONG TIME.

HE HAD DOUBLE DUTY.

YOU HAD 12,000 PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE.

RED SCHOOL, BLUE SCHOOL WHICH IS WHY WHEN WE DID THE INTERVIEWS ON CENTRAL SWING AND TALKED WITH COACH WESTBROOK IT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE RED SCHOOL GOING UP AGAINST THE BLUE SCHOOL AND THEN WE CUT UP WITH THE OTHER COACH IT WAS ABOUT CATCHING UP WITH THEM AND THE OTHER SCHOOL.

THIS IS A RIVALRY THAT IS UNPARALLELED.

IT IS RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST AND IF IT'S NOT, IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY YOUR SECOND SCREEN EXPERIENCE AT WWW.GPB.ORG, NORTHSIDE AND WARNER ROBINS.

IT WILL BE BIG.

>> FIRST WE HAVE CEDAR GROVE HEAD COACH JOHN ADAMS WAITING FOR US TO CHAT.

>> I'M HONESTLY NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED.

I GOT A CALL FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET ON THE SAME PAGE MAY BE AS FAR AS THE COUNTY AND THE REGION.

WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THE GAME OR GET THE GAME GOING.

>> SO COACH WHEN YOU ARE IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS WHERE YOU ARE GAME ON AND THEN GAME OFF AND THEN IT'S GAME OFF AGAIN, WHAT IS THAT LIKE ON THE SINEWAVE OF MOMENTUM AND EMOTION FOR THE GUYS AND NOT JUST FOR COACHES BUT FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES AS WELL WHERE IT'S LIKE GAME ON, GAME OFF.

WHAT WAS THAT ROLLER COASTER LIKE HAVING TO SIT AND WATCH EVERYBODY ELSE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT?

>> IT WAS JUST UNFORTUNATE.

THE KIDS PREPARED, THEY TREATED FILM ON TUESDAY AND WE SCHEDULED SENIOR NIGHT, SO THERE WERE A LOT OF FESTIVITIES DURING THE WEEK.

JUST REALLY UNFORTUNATE.

IT'S A SITUATION WHERE IT WAS KIND OF OUT OF OUR CONTROL SO HOPEFULLY I WILL NOT BE PUT IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT AGAIN.

>> WE CERTAINLY HOPE NOT.

THAT IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

WILL YOU HAVE A BIG ONE ON THE ROAD.

WESTLAKE COMING UP THEY HAVE PLAYMAKERS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND RJ JOHNSON, AVIEON TERREL, JAI'DEN THOMAS.

HOW DO YOU START PREPARING FOR A TEAM LIKE THAT?

>> TAKING IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.

WE'VE ALREADY TOLD THE BOYS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD WEEK OF PRACTICE.

THEY HAVE PLAYMAKERS, THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD RUNNING BACK.

RJ THE QUARTERBACK IS A PRETTY GOOD STARTER SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY BIG IN THE GAME.

>> COACH, AT THE SAME TIME THE CEDAR GROVE PEDIGREE HAS CARRIED ITSELF DOWN TO CRISP WITH COACH PATRICK AND LAWRENCE WITH WHAT HE IS DOING.

THE CEDAR GROVE APPROACH HAS ALWAYS BEEN ESPECIALLY IN THE NON-REGION SCHEDULE, WE WILL PLAY ANYONE, ANY PLACE, ANY PLAY QUALITY COMPETITION.

WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR CEDAR GROVE TO HAVE TO FIND OPPONENTS AND CHALLENGE YOURSELVES?

AS THE SUCCESS HAS GROWN I IMAGINE FOLKS DON'T WANT TO PLAY YOU AS MUCH AS THEY USED TO.

HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO FIND OPPONENTS BUT YOU HAVE AN OPPONENT NEXT WEEK WITH THAT SAME MENTALITY?

>> DEFINITELY HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THIS YEAR.

I THINK THE BIG CHALLENGE WAS WE ONLY HAVE THREE TEAMS IN OUR REGION SO ANY TIME YOU HAVE TO FIND THOSE GAMES IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH.

BUT THE LEVEL OF OUR PROGRAM RIGHT NOW, EVERYBODY IS NOT KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR TO PLAY US.

WE'VE ALWAYS TAKEN THAT AS A CHALLENGE AND WE UNDERSTAND THE BIGGER PICTURE IS GOING TO PREPARE US FOR THE PLAYOFFS AND JUST, WE WILL FIND OUT A LOT ABOUT OUR TEAM VERSUS A CHALLENGING SCHEDULE SO THAT'S WHY THAT IS THE MAKING OF THE SCHEDULE.

WE WANT TO PLAY QUALITY OPPONENTS.

>> YOU AND I WERE JUST CHATTING AT THE DECATUR MEDIA DAYS IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY ALREADY A COUPLE OF GAMES END.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE HEADING SOMEWHERE SO PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND BUCKLE UP.

>> THANK Y'ALL FOR HAVING ME.

>> AND THANK YOU, JON.

CAN WE GET A FINAL WORD?

>> EXCELLENT WORK OF CROSS PROMOTION FOR THE SPONSOR OF THE POST GAME SHOW.

WELL DONE.

I FELT THAT COMING SITTING HERE SAYING BUCKLE UP, COACH.

EXCELLENT WAY TO EASE OUT THE COACH SO HE CAN FINISH THE REST OF THE EVENING SO WE CAN USE OUR WAY OUT OF THE EVENING AND GET READY FOR MONDAY.

>> WHY IS SHE TELLING ME BUCKLE UP?

I OBVIOUSLY AM.

THANK YOU, JOHN.

>> LOOK ABOVE HER HEAD.

>> THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE COACHES FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CALL.

THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY HERE IN THE STUDIO AND IN THE CONTROL ROOM.

IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT.

NEXT WEEK, BROOKWOOD, COLLINS HILL.

THANK YOU FOR STAYING UP LATE AND WE WILL CATCH YOU NEXT WEEK.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
