everybody and welcome to the georgia dome we're waiting for four great games today we had four yesterday today is no exception it's the class a public championship mcintosh county academy out of darien georgia meeting montezuma montezuma's macon county bulldogs featuring kahari lane the great quarterback everybody across the state is heard of it's good to be with my buddy sam crenshaw one more time sam good to see you buddy how are you good morning good morning to you and good morning to everybody out there we had a great one in the opener yesterday and we're hoping for the same today and there's no reason we shouldn't have won today because we've got great players on both sides of the ball mcintosh county academy from darien georgia macon county from montezuma let's talk a little bit about those great players from those great teams and of course first on the agenda is mcintosh county academy and a guy you know very well you gotta call a red rifle because you do that nobody does make together mcintosh county douglas starting up with the coach's son who runs roger robinson is the coach major robinson is the quarterback 17 over 1700 yards passing 15 touchdowns and he's the guy that runs things for them offensively let's watch for him today on the defensive side of the ball how about jonathan jason hard hitting linebacker 122 tackles in the for this season he's the guy you're going to want to watch both sides of the ball for them today one of those really exciting teams on the other side of the ball is the macon county bulldogs they made the quarters a year ago in double a mcintosh county was in double a a year ago the public a championship features some great football players but there's one that we really need to talk a little bit about the red rifle talk about the red rifle and that's the guy who gets things started for macon county for the bulldogs that is kahari lane you may have heard about him may have read about him this morning you're gonna get to see this guy he has all the twos tommy he has everything and he has a chance to pass the record for single touchdowns in the city he has 52 touchdown passes he could top the uh the state record if we can get those at least two more today in today's game on the defensive side watchwork and terrace folsom linebacker who does great things for them hard-hitting guy runs things on the defensive side of the ball and they got a great defensive attack so watch for him in today's game most people assume that class a is a different kind of football but let me tell you something it's tooth and nail in this one just as yesterday's private championship was sam it really is but the thing about it is you got teams that are so excited about being here you know and get a chance of being and the back stories as we get into today's game of both of these teams have come through a lot this season some hurdles and some obstacles but they've survived and they've made it to the dome it's big time up close with the action nikki noto down on the sidelines nikki how's it going down there toby it's loud down here i'm pretty sure all of macon county is here and that's because they are here to watch a very special team you know these seniors they have been playing together since they were seven or eight years old they actually won their middle school championship the juniors won that same middle school championship as well coach told me that they've been playing under tremendous pressure since they were about 11 years old now the 1996 state championship team as well as the rest of the community has kind of nicknamed this group of kids the golden boys they have all said that if there is a group of kids that can bring a state title back to macon county it's them and like i said i'm pretty sure all of making county is here and when i talked to coach pregame he said i hope whoever is the last one home in macon county turns the lights out and i think that's how they're going to play today tommy thank you nicky so much we're looking forward to the game it's gonna be a fun morning get you a bowl of cereal cook you a couple of eggs some grits and some toast get you some coffee because this one's gonna be a good one the breakfast edition from the georgia dome we think we're serving up a really great one to get things started on this day two of championship weekend at the georgia dome tommy get ready for the kickoff that's coming up next on gpb here come the bulldogs getting ready to come out take the field and the buccaneers we talk about the story about these two teams tommy and how they got here and the macintosh academy uh mcintosh county academy team i think is one that everyone would take hold of the story about them and what they had to deal with this season what they had to come through well i tell you both teams had to play their ways here but what macintosh county academy had to do during that 17-day period play those three games three region games after a hurricane came through and they took three weeks off that's going to be a story we're going to talk about a great deal and that's a look at macon county ironically they call him the red rifle and they're wearing black today they're warrior black and mcintosh will be wearing gold and white and red and there's coach dexter copeland down on the sidelines goes deck to copeland his second season you see his record there impressive what he's been able to do but is his first time coaching in the final he made it to the quarters last year and lost to a very good pace team they're back down in class a they were one of the smallest double a school sam in the state as was mcintosh county academy robbie robinson in a shirt he's got on there today tommy i like that shirt it's a fishing shirt if you wonder that's how they make their money down in down in the community of darren and maddarian and mcintosh county academy there's a lot of shrimping a lot of fishing going on and in tribute to those fishermen they're wearing the fishing competition shirts all of the coaching staff are you can see some shirt tails are in some are out if you're old school you guess you keep it in ravi said robbie's said his dad wouldn't approve of him having his shirt tail out this is a grown man now he's got his in there you go first ever meeting and macon county won the toss and deferred heads up georgia kickoff coming up next and we've got a great small crowd to begin with here in the dome very vocal crowd but a very vocal crowd and by about half time this place is going to start really filling up that lower section because there's a lot of interest in game two three and four today sam this might be the most talent we've ever had on a football field in a two-day period in the state of georgia i think so we have some fantastic matchups some great players wherever you are around the state of georgia or around the country or around the world joining us here on gpb don't text and drive from heads up georgia for more information heads up georgia.com and we're underway line drive kick at the 10 and a whistle immediately i think macon county was offside that's about the only thing you can call there can't you say i think so that's the main thing let's see what it's called yeah encroachment on the kicking team there you go five yard penalty free kick that's enthusiasm just exciting that's adrenaline yeah really you've been you've been waiting for this you've been waiting for this you know yeah you're right about that definitely right about that simon cummings the returner in jp palmer back for mcintosh [Music] and we've got a good story about the [Applause] macon county kicker coming up too here we go that's a little more elevation at the 12. at the 20-yard line excellent coverage palmer on the carry knocked down hard he's one of the principals in that backfield here is major robinson the coach's son 95 out of 154 1731 yards he took over in the third game he didn't play all of the 13 games as a starter he had to earn it he's the coach's son and uh looking into his name and how he got his name yeah yeah we need to talk about that one of your favorite players players from alabama major ogilvy was who he was named for believe it or not robinson gives to cummings up to the 19-yard line [Applause] let's take a look at what's happening up front buster sullivan jay harris austin anderson courtney jones and cam evans with their hands on the ground and dustin anderson j.p palmer don grant denver anthony and diego mitchell your region's starting lineups and of course we told you about major robinson at quarterback you know this is uh exciting for both these schools i think it was four players from each side sam did it ever been to the georgia dome not on a game now we're just talking about we have visited just been to this place yep that's it what an exciting time these guys were at home last week watching watching alabama and florida play last week today they're here yep robinson motion jumping around snapping for action this is not what you want to happen no no chip huffman is a referee there's a look at coach robbie robinson who told us he grew up watching the bear bryant show every every sunday and uh you know his other sons your name knox and buck and major ogilvy one of the favorite players that coach bryant would talk about on sunday and there's major robbies robinson dropping looking to throw pressure yard line gonna go down [Applause] on defense for bacon county robtavious manning nathaniel oliver d'amato walters and markell jackson in that four-man front the backers lacavian walker cantarius felton and leon dantes in the secondary trey mathis curt mcdonald tyrese atkinson and jared daniels quick as a cat defensively [Applause] blitz robinson gonna run got some room and gotta go down at about the 25 or 26 yard line before he's knocked down smart move once again like i said the coach's son he runs back he doesn't see a receiver he takes off and runs and makes the most of it good run there yeah felton was really dogging down the middle now they're going to kick it away here dustin anderson will kick it away from the 11. fourth down six yards to go anderson with a line drive kick gonna bounce and be picked up good coverage by mcintosh county down they go the 34 yard line 42-yard kick great coverage by mcintosh county academy yeah kirk mcdonald hauled that in off the bounce and really had nowhere to go great pursuit and great coverage on the special teams kahari lane the red rifle and ironically coach copeland didn't name him that he was named that several years ago and at first khari didn't like it he didn't like the nickname the red rifle but uh now i think he enjoys it a lot i think he does and i think people who haven't seen him play before probably in for a treat here this morning 6-2 2-30 kahari lane senior quarterback dropping the throw complete across the 35 yard line here's the way they stack up for macon county teju reese peter eady chris leggett daniel yanez and jacory allen up front in the backfield trey brown akibious mcclendon kedrick thomas ladarius hardrick jedarius hicks and kahari lane dropping the throw and the pressure and knocked down hard back at about the 28 yard line excellent defense jackson that time barry jackson the senior watching and shooting right through there stays with it and the second time around he brings him down great effort great effort and we might point out coach robinson was quite vehement about it how do you beat macon county you keep kahari lane on the sidelines drinking gatorade right kick him off the field four-man front lane dropping to throw looking chased throws in and out of hands of the receiver up at about the 38-yard line good pursuit by mcintosh county academy great pressure and you see lane can move and on the move just side on just flings it out there and number four is trey mathis trayvon williams had a shot at that one akari roberts from mcintosh almost picked that one off [Applause] was the kick blocked they've gotten a hand on them moving right into the punter flag down on the play ran into the punter the b-side guiterrez i thought i heard a thump when he kicked it though didn't you before he kicked it or actually after he kicked it 27-yard kick they're going to call that one off it was part of the kicker on the defense that penalty is declined the first down mcintosh we've played four minutes we'll be back with more after this no score mcintosh and macon county the ghsa football championship is made possible in part by regions it's time to expect more georgia's electrical membership cooperative the official energy provider of the ghsa the technical college system of georgia learn more earn more cigna go you heads up georgia and the governor's office of highway safety dot com and viewers like you thank you we're just underway four minutes into the game and both teams are kind of feeling their ways out this this is a little different environment for him and i think sam you can probably feel that as well yeah absolutely just getting some we saw from the opening kickoff jumping on the side on opening kickoff everybody is out of possession now everybody's settling down and realizing wow there's a different environment different surroundings it's still a 100 yard football field go out there and play some ball i do love you know from hoosiers that analogy when he measured the goal post you know it's the same size as ours there you go yeah okay down on the sideline to nikki noto hey there tommy well you know one thing to note about mcintosh county earlier this year when hurricane matthew hit they went three weeks without playing coach said ultimately it didn't really faze him a bit they were bummed they were going to miss football but it drew them closer together and when i was talking to him earlier today they were actually a little bit later than what they wanted to getting to the dome because the bus driver could not find their bus this morning he said but you know what look if i can get through hurricane matthew with my team we can get through being a little bit late to the georgia dome today tommy that's hilarious i love that bus driver couldn't find the bus okay blame it on the bus driver yeah of course there you go coach robinson is a real character he's a he's a joy to talk to as is coach copeland we you know i enjoy those conference calls that we do with those guys and we talk to them they tell us more probably than they should wouldn't you think but it's always enjoyable it is major robinson looking over a four-man front gonna give to his running back up across the middle gain of four or five ahmad jackson i believe it was macon county after a gain of two you talk about coach robinson this is his second tenure at mcintosh county academy was there for seven years and lethal went to washington weeks for two years and returned spread formation [Applause] got a whistle coach robinson did not like what he saw and called timeout on the sideline went to the official in call macintosh the first time out [Music] this is mcintosh county's first ever appearance in the finals second 10-win season in school history in 2014 this group went 0 and 10. they won their fourth region title this year nfl players include alan bailey defensive lineman for miami and the chiefs 2011 to the present they've had some some players come through there well they got a great team there now and you watch them play today the other thing that coach told us about this team is his offensive line each week has had the same five guys and talk about the importance of that time and what that means when you keep that same offensive line together each and every week they communicate well with each other and there is a cohesiveness there's a it's almost a separate team within a team those five offensive linemen robinson around the draw and the ball pops out fumble macon county [Applause] let's see who's got it it looked like macon county got it nope wow sullivan got on it i don't know how sullivan did it but he rooted down there he got it dude about buster sullivan to tackle jackson on with the fumble there he is right there and the ball's right there they just reached right there and grabs that see defensive linemen have good hands give me that pumpkin there you go third and six macintosh dropping looking to throw robinson incomplete miscommunication there you have to work that out wide receiver giving him a little bit of grief anderson is so anderson was the intended receiver and the bond at least went between three or four defenders so you know no harm there but now in exchange coming again yet again fourth and sixth anderson to kick good kick end over in no fair catch good coverage by mcintosh 36-yard kick and we've got a scat back running it back this time don't we here's the defense mcintosh county academy akira roberts barry jackson carlton world joseph roberts and dallas anthony with their hands on the ground jonathan jason fred carswell are the backers and in that secondary michael campbell simon cummings payne drake and johnny cummings the region's bank starting lineup we're almost halfway through the first quarter and we've still got a lot of sparring going on up to the 30-yard line kahari lane about his arm and what he can do throwing the football when he needs to yeah big fella can move forward to pick up some yards 6-2 and 230 he's a load i'm telling you now and he can as they say in today's world he can spin it mcintosh going to jump offside defensive end on that side over there believe that was a cure of roberts encroachment on the defense the penalty results and a first down 14 barry jackson jackson then yeah barry jackson the defensive tackle on that side [Music] [Applause] [Music] gonna get through his running back and being knocked down pretty good little jawed up there by jared daniels yeah daniel's had a good season over a thousand yards 1300 yards 12 touchdowns he's had this season lane brings him up dropping looking to throw little screen got some running room trey brown on the catch cummings and palmer on the stop there nice execution definitely gets it out there we'll scream trey brown he's had a great season as well yes he has 47 receptions 974 yards 21 that's jumping again yep same jackson again on the defense five yard pillow results for the first time teammates are trying to console them and cut a couple thousand come on i don't think that's console like oh well he just wanted to come out and he's going he's going to take a breather right now he's going to come out well you know you get wound real tight yeah i really do that's all it is that's all it is you know but in a game like this one kahari lane yardage running back that's daniels again yeah jaren daniels daniel's going to come out now he's got that running back look doesn't he yeah it's moved smooth kind of glides yeah you got to have that glide-o-matic back there that runner lane looks over that four-man front they're gonna run it again caught and thrown back at the 46 yard line good pursuit that time by mcintosh fred carswell got there first linebacker number 26 has he slowed him down to the rest of his teammates could get there mcclendon on the carry [Applause] [Music] four minutes left in the quarter lane checking off at the line of scrimmage third and three lane [Music] up the middle to mclinton [Music] first down yardage kevius mcclendon number six had an opening there it all looked like a partial face match there and it wasn't like it may be an individual on the [Applause] defense first down and ten or first to yeah first and five that was an inverter nothing but you know the amazing thing is curry lane is really not throwing it that much and they're moving and they're moving and they are really moving down to the 35 yard line mclendon again on the carry mclendon and daniels the workhorses obviously [Music] second down and nine i think we might see something right here [Applause] daniel's the setback yeah he's he's doing that on purpose checking off now once again [Applause] [Applause] thomas hello 28 yard completion kendrick thomas junior wide receiver smooth as silk folks yes or he can spin it don't you think made it look effortless he can play on my team anytime first down nice catch by thomas out there mcclendon again on the camera nothing there and we got a flag maybe a possible hole there maybe maybe there's something selling on my part let's see what we got going here and the official illegal block below the waist on the offense 15-yard penalty still first look at coach copeland yeah all right go watch it here again oh yeah yeah definitely yeah definitely 15-yard penalty that opens up the avenue a little bit for you right there if you're headed that way coach copeland not happy not happy about that move at all no [Applause] directing traffic okay 223 no score that's the biggest surprise i know we were getting close and now moving backwards bihari lane dropping throwing incomplete flag on the play [Applause] we have seen a multitude of flags in the game yeah and like we said in the first you know first couple of series holding on the defense this is the goal tray brown the intended receiver [Music] here we go take a look at it [Music] oh yeah little pushing and shoving actually on both sides both sides yeah they kind of went down the field doing that yep first down now once again gold to go lane dropping the throw looking pressure now looking the other way gonna run lane caught and thrown at the 12 or 13 yard line excellent defense down there by mackintosh county academy james world on the stop there's lane looking for and i just got good coverage he can't find anybody open now he's going to try to run and he's able to get back to the line of scrimmage world with a great tackle down there second down goal and coach copeland's gonna call time out there come out let's take it doesn't have the rhythm we had in yesterday's game but it'll pick up i'm sure that's gonna get there all right let's take a look at macon county they're with the 1996 state champions this is their first trip to the finals since that time third straight region championship 13 overall coach cb coronet from 1990 to 1997 a record of 97 and 10. and the nfl player antonio cochran who played at the university of georgia and seattle seahawks impressive resume for the bulldogs from montezuma definitely definitely coach copeland i think this is his fourth year at that right right and they made the quarterfinals last year eliminated by pace academy and they were the eventual double-a champion a year ago mcintosh four penalties 25 yards this is the 10th play upcoming of the drive second and goal lane screen got a man got a block got a touchdown got a touchdown pass daniels 13 is one yards needs one more just the way you draw it up tommy perfect pawn at the perfect time well executed definitely macon county takes an early lead and the point from placement now good snap good kick macon county leads it seven to nothing let's take another look at it technical college system touchdown replay kahari lane number 53 for him for the season dumps it off right there and jared daniels has great blocking in front yeah yeah pretty easy wasn't it yeah into the end zone for the first time today five minutes and 15 seconds on that drive 10 plays 76 yards jared daniels with the score and he did glide he's he's got that smooth smooth gate don't you think he really does he agrees he agrees i think so thanks so much yeah he does to get him get him a sip there yeah he's put in some good work in that possession definitely now let's see how the buccaneers respond to this tommy well i think we saw this yesterday [Applause] the team that we thought a lot of people come in saying okay this is the team that might have the better athletes that might have some guys you know work together and here's a team that's playing with a lot of heart let's see how the guys who play with the heart and the grit and play for each other let's see how they do and how they respond anderson palmer and cummings are deep so like a law firm it does good kick to the five pennings at the 11. great coverage let's go down to the sidelines what's happening nikki noto hey there tommy well when i talked to coach copeland he said one thing making county knows that this is their game to lose and here's why last year at the quarterfinals when they were ultimately beaten by pace coach said he thought he was the last one in the field house and then he heard something he turned around it was his quarterback kahari lane and he looked at him he said coach we won't lose again he said it's that mentality that the seniors have really rallied around and adopted going into this season so we've got a few more quarters to see how it plays out there you go 123 left in this first with macon county with an early lead seven to nothing thank you mickey four man front robinson throwing incomplete oh my god did you see anderson anderson was calling for a flag there i thought somebody may have gotten a little early yeah look at this break up yeah that's daniels on the defensive side of the ball i'm telling you robinson looking over that four-man front [Applause] gives to the running back palmer up to the 14-yard line moving grudgingly excellent defense by macon county they're being stingy with the yards in there you got to go up in there give it a try those black jerseys are there i'll tell you what they move to the football when you see 10 and 17 on your defensive line you got some athletes up there with the low numbers that's a dead giveaway quickness and athletic two stand-up outside linebackers robinson throwing batted away by daniels at the last moment how about that play anderson was out there great play by daniels that time that was a great pass it was passed by robinson robinson trying to go to his favorite target dustin anderson he's got 31 receptions this season for 631 yards and five touchdowns but denied that time at number 21 jarrett daniels that's going to be an interesting matchup all day long anderson and daniels out there i think daniel's letting him know hey i'm up to the challenge you're going to throw it this way again mcintosh county academy going to punt it away again anderson to kick it away good snap good timing line drive kick gonna kick it away from the returner good return up to midfield 43-yard kick by anderson and macon county takes over at the 49 and here comes kahari lane he's back on the field one touchdown pass away from hudson mason's 2009 regular season or season record of most touchdown passes in a season wow that's amazing and like you said at the outset you talk about recruiting and and whose list he's on and maybe some people have heard of him we've heard of some coaches and some uh some schools who went to see him this week yes some big schools who went to see him this week gonna run a little speed sweep caught and thrown good defense by macintosh back at the 45 yard line somebody's helping came off from there wow did not fool them at all wow is right fred carnswell on the stop carswell is there 28 dallas anthony stayed home good pursuit anthony there as well the helmet comes off so he has to exit the play for one play [Applause] three wides left one wide right we have played one quarter yep [Music] macon county leads it seven to nothing [Music] mcintosh when you're in control of your finances i just feel like you're in control of your future when we were getting

displayed every heart kept ticking and every young mind educated meeting needs creating possibilities making a difference georgia's emc's so much more than electricity one of the interesting things about the first quarter macon county runs 14 offensive plays mcintosh county runs nine that just tells you why it's seven nothing yes yeah that makes a big difference and that guy right there is back on the field remember coach robinson said his goal was to keep him on the sideline tasting gatorade yeah but he's he's not drinking gatorade right now no definitely not [Applause] he's taken aim at tying the record yes he is we've had a lot of whistles today a lot of lineup problems and jumping offside and i know it's settling into the dome experience into the second quarter now tommy you'll probably see a little less of that now yep lane with daniels in the backfield dropping looking to throw gonna run the screen [Applause] incomplete it was intended for mcdonald on the right-hand side a lot of traffic over there mcintosh is moving well on defense cummings and drake and the other cummings and campbell they're very active defensively and they've got to be with khari lane gonna run us wow get rid of it going to run look at look at look at uh oh now he's going to get a celebration penalty great job defensively yeah intentional grounding oh my god and here's another look at it he didn't pick up the blitz that was coming in there and the lineman came right through yeah put some pressure on him carlton world number 53. he has been very active world has has has been all the world so far really has he's introduced himself to mr lane on a couple of occasions already he had a good blitz going on that time mcintosh you know we get concerned when one team seems to oh man not happy yeah some things get him out of his rhythm maybe go and sip that gatorade after all i guess [Applause] how they missed that ball is a mystery that's something right on top of six i've 28 yards look at this sam gutierrez is very slow getting that punt out last time he was very slow getting the fun out it almost gets it blocked and was partially blocked before i know i think it went between the defenders hands i don't know how they miss blocking that punt and i think that's something that the macintosh academy the county academy has found out figured out when he's back there he gets that pun out pretty slow we put some pressure on him maybe get a block here some point during today's game but they're back on offense now here we go major robinson three wides left and one to the right looks over a three-man front two stand-up outside linebackers dropping looking to throw got some time flushed out of there got a receiver complete down to the 41. excellent fake down to the 32 yard line simon cummings it looks like yes 23-yard completion comes major secondary and there he is it's all alone wide open and watch a nice little step right here hello there you go nice move nice to see you today gosh he put that on jared daniels daniel's been putting the moves on everybody today first mcintosh county academy first down of the day gonna run the reverse a lot of green out there got a block down to the 10 yard line and here comes mcintosh county academy sam what a time for a call like that to dekale mitchell that's a senior 21-yard gain on that one folks and here come the buccaneers boy coming back like he's a lot of green and a block right in front of him right there jay harris throwing one for him do you see that guard out in front of all of that he's way out of dodge i'm telling you that's cool that guard can run ooh hello tackle oh my goodness jonathan jason on that one we heard about him before the game on the defensive side of the ball look at that the toughness bouncing off those defenders you know what i like about some football teams is when you're on a team you get to play some offense some defense and kicking games well at this level it happens because the rosters are so short you have guys that have to go both ways and perform uh-oh uh-oh a little too soon dumps offside before the snap ball start on the offense five yard penalty second down jones got a little anxious there yeah courtney jones excited wouldn't you be though where your team is moving offensively the kind of plays you've had here yes indeed but he knows what it costs his team to step back there and he knows it yes sir robinson and robinson robbie on the sideline and his son out there to give to palmer palmer breaking tackles down to the goal line he's close i'm going to mark him right up to one down 11 yard run that's a determined running folks watch this one look at that block just wouldn't be denied still got the legs going right down to the one he did jt palmer [Applause] robinson's got him up there eye formation i wonder where this one's going uh-oh whoa ball and i think macon county got it i'm not sure let's see we'll know shortly won't we we got a lot of bodies you got them yeah [Applause] oh my oh my is right bulldogs come away with it off the pile what happened on this snap just a bad ass yeah did he never get it it was late yep it never got to him yeah it was late missed the target and manning picks up the fumble wow snap came out below the hands of major robinson he never got the ball yep what a time for that to happen i'm telling you manning got the recovery and here's lane in the end zone down almost intercepted great defensive play anthony almost intercepted that thing it's kind of hard to intercept a 100 mile an hour fastball though i'm telling you he got in front of that one yeah watch this play he's reading it all the way he almost got that thing great you know what was coming that's what you're supposed to do get out there and put your hands up [Applause] yeah one interception all year that would have been a nice one with me lame lot of territory thomas with the reception 21 yards and lane just doing something here just flints it right out there puts it out there and let's thomas do the rest there you go have a feeling they've done that quite a bit this season i would think they've done it a few times wouldn't you hell yeah 9 34 left in the half seven nothing lead mcintyre at our macon county lane looking to throw cotton thrown back at the 19. good defense that time let's go down to the sideline nikki noto nikki hey tommy so in that last defensive series quarterback kahari lane he clearly came off the field and was not pleased with that performance we witnessed a few penalties as well coach copeland was over there talking to his offense about blocking that was the area of emphasis that they needed to work on so that khari could get out there and have some pass protection to make those plays that we just witnessed kahari lane gives to the running back caught and thrown up to about the 23 yard line one of those high tackles one of those danger ones there mcclendon on the carry mcclendon and daniels kind of share the running back chores and i think both of them play a little defense too as well she both up on both sides of the ball three wides lane looking to the sideline [Applause] checking out the flip chart it's interesting how they signal plays here [Music] lane dropping looking incomplete oh my god he's wide open yes he was mclendon the intended receiver he knows he misses the connection and this guy out there just says laid him a little too far with that one and cummings was waiting good defensive hold that time by mcintosh and now watch for the punt and let's see if they bring some pressure on this pun if they come close here yeah let's let's see some later rivals to the line of scrimmage here oh my they just snapped it and you're gonna get an illegal procedure penalty here all-star they've been getting a little bit five-yard penalty still fourth down you got to get this and that's coach copeland not happy about that at all those are kind of things not supposed to be happening this time of season there's there's the there's a classic picture of an unhappy head coach right now he is definitely not pleased fourth penalty for 40 yards [Music] line up like they're ready to come and try to block that kick and get that he get it away quick that time he did didn't take him long did it i think that had been strongly suggested on the sideline you need to get rid of that thing a flag again 42-yard kick illegal procedure against macon county that one probably will be declined wouldn't you think i would think so illegal formation on the offense the penalty is declined first down nothing i think robbie wants the ball right now macon county seven mcintosh county nothing we'll be back with more to dome in a moment at 60 miles per hour you go the length of a football field in five seconds but would you do it blindfolded when you text and drive that's what happens heads up georgia texting and driving is against the law [Music] huh [Music] ah sam generally when you fumble at the one after having a good drive that'll take the start out of you a little bit and bad things can happen but they actually held and played well got a couple of penalties there but uh mcintosh wants the ball and they have the ball back and one thing that that drive allows you to do it allows you to find out what you can do to move against this making counter defensive unit they now they know what it takes now can they get back in that situation and finish the drive this time [Applause] lane 5 out of 10 for 50 yards and one touchdown he's that's why he's frustrated on the sidelines he's usually at 200 by this point robinson gonna run the speed look at look at that wow looks like he was shot out of a cannon rotavius manning [Music] he knew where the ball was going the whole time hello hello good morning goodbye i tell you what macon county is quick on defense aren't they real fast major robinson your quarterback for mcintosh county academy buccaneers three wides right one to the left and yet another whistle timeout mcintosh their second charge timeout obviously they're they're having problems either communicating the plays in or they don't like the defensive adjustments making counties making maybe it's something they hadn't seen in preparation too that could be that it could be another thing teams may have added a new wrinkle or something all right here's the touchdown from macon county little screen pass daniel's glided into the end zone and here is major robinson trying to get the buccaneers in there and there is the fumble and those have been the two key plays in the game thus far they have been they have those two key plays robinson never got the ball in his hands never did speaking of refreshment on the sidelines yes coach robinson what a character he is robinson looking to throw screen dropped batted away and the guard was out in front pass intended for grant yeah and watch the dog sees the ball comes they have not supposed to catch that that's right almost like a little jump shot there and the guard says no i'm not the guy i'm not going to catch it tell you what 60 an offensive guard is everywhere he is all over the place he is talking about g harris yes sir third and 16. robinson dropping looking to throw chase [Applause] look at that just reach out there and grab him marquel jackson one of the jacksons come through and just get a hand on him all he needs to get a hand on him right there horse collar down he goes could have been a horse connor there close it was closed no it was it matter the available was there didn't matter yeah anderson going to kick it away that's a howitzer shot that's way up in here bouncing around going to get a macintosh bounce for a while here down to the 34-yard line 32-yard kick but about 32 up in the air too [Music] yes your coach you kind of like those that's nice and high had enough length and you don't get a return on it you know you have these preconceived notions about how a game's going to go when you do your research and you just think this is going to be a high scoring football game and here we are halfway through the second quarter and it's seven nothing and kahari lanes ten for or five for ten fifty yards and one touchdown not critical but it's just not what you what you know what you expected exactly lane gonna get to daniels hello down to the 40. jared daniels do you like the way he runs or what do i like the way he runs how can you not like the way he runs watch this this is glydomatic folks hello some guys just have that style when they run they do and he has it he definitely has a 25 yard run aha that's how they're doing it armbands today did you see could you pick up on that lane looking for a blocker not gonna get it gonna be knocked down good defense that time roberts they took something away from him something he was looking for and he it wasn't there and he ended up having to go and take and run with it yeah robert's on the tackle for our friends at home if you don't have a program he is 622-30 lane is shot at the middle not much there yet again that's mclendon on the carry [Music] us mcclendon mr roberts is active today isn't he he is [Applause] joseph roberts there in on the stat yep stop [Applause] third and eight lane looks over a four-man front gonna give it to mcclendon yet again nothing there and knocked down hard good pursuit that time well mr roberts there again mr roberts wants more take another look there's a hand to mcclendon and almost there there's roberts right there yeah robertson roberts robertson roberts that other law firm in town right all right and it's fourth and sixth [Music] i like what they're doing on the sidelines down there they're flipping over the numbers they're using numbers okay so and when they signal it in they're using the armbands and they're telling the line to block and they're giving the quarterback and the and the running backs and the wide receivers the numbers interesting way to do it a lot of people do it a different way you know it's it's amazing how they signal in plays oh you get into it i mean you're going up to the college level you see all kinds of things oh sidelines on saturdays now yeah you got three or four signaling in and the one with the red hat on us yeah that's the one that's hot that's the one that's hot maybe maybe you figure it out yeah the guys would come up with the big poster cards with the four different things on it and i i you know yeah there you go there it is that's how they're signaling again we're running play number five here whatever that is and if we can get a close-up of what the coach is going to get in there we got the whole playing there hey we got the scheme now don't we we've seen it kahari fourth and sixth looking looking got all the time in the world hello no [Applause] no not trey brown that can't happen to trey brown the crowd's pointing look at this you couldn't believe how wide open he was he breaks free hello here i am oh my goodness i was set to call touchdown i know you were i think we all said no at the same time sam trevor that one will be remembered for a long long time yeah that's going to be a painful memory that would have tied the record yes it would have plus kahari is going to remind him when he comes to the sideline and next week about that one look daddy gary there he goes yeah it goes to him now mcintosh takes over got him to the corner and up across the 43 yard line little tension among folks down there tell you what it's uh it's turning out to be an interesting football game yep yep it really is jason on the caring gain of six second down and four [Music] major robinsons got him up at the 42 yard line a little slip there jp palmer on the carry and close to a first down maybe a yard shot when you see as i told you tens and 17s on that defensive line yep there's a lot of futility on the other side of the line because you can't block what you can't catch mcintosh doing a great job though up front big third down play here here we go give it to palmer again broke attack at her two and yet another one down to the 45 yard line i'll tell you what these running backs from macintosh will just run in your face watch this 24 what's this coming right at you look at that you see that yep hello that one's going to sting i believe don't you think so i think so all right credit to kurt mcdonald number five wow robinson dropping looking to throw got anderson out there incomplete no that's not anderson that would be mitchell out there [Music] second down and ten mcintosh has had great success running the ball yeah great success running it should we mention to our audience who has joined us in the interim the next time we take a look at robbie on the sideline about their coach's shirts yes oh palmer one more time down inside the 45 when you see the coaching shirts on the sideline for mcintosh county they are fishing shirts by competition fishermen and it's in tribute to that tremendous fishing industry shrimping and fishing down in darien georgia and mcintosh county academy and that's why they wear those and that's in tribute to the great job those guys do in the shrimp boats and the fishing boats i think that's tremendous don't you sound great to have to show it up state championship game a little something from home on the offense five-yard building third down third down 14 to go now seven to nothing macon county leading kahari lane one touchdown pass away from the state record held by hudson mason here's robinson rolling looking to throw chased pass is complete but to the 48-yard line excellent pursuit and they're on the stop [Music] achieving walker 23 great pressure right there and walkers right there make the stop yeah on the catch tell you what both of these teams have athletics and 60 one of our guards who we have seen yeah 60 is uh that's the young man that we have seen all over the field that would be jay harris harris yeah jacob j harris got up to a great start in this game doing some great things and sure did yeah we were we were talking specifically about his pull in front of one of the runs and he got caught up in bad traffic out there just at the wrong place at the wrong time palmer with his body went into him after the tackle and this is one of their top linemen obviously no doubt because he's been everywhere today sam this is this line it has been the same five all season long we talked about earlier the importance of that that continuity that chemistry yeah that that trust that comes and develops with an offensive line over time yeah looks like they're gonna get him up here let's see he is up well you hate to see that happen yeah anytime with a special in this game yes and like was said one thing that again coach robinson said he's been very fortunate this season has been the same five guys offensive line yeah and this kind of breaks the chain here in the state championship game he's one of your guys yes indeed fourth and thirteen at the 48. anderson's going to kick it away [Music] obviously macon county is not so sure good snap a good kick wow you got this one hold up yes indeed official said it hit the line did it 48 48-yard punt by anderson down to nicki on the sidelines nikki hey tommy well you know both of these teams have really struggled to find a rhythm all game as we're about to go into halftime you know coach robinson he actually told me this week it'll be interesting to see how these two rural teams from south georgia handle the big city in this environment you know between both of these teams there might be eight players who have ever been to the georgia dome so coach robinson also added that whoever whichever team has the speedy consistency will end up winning this game and consistency is something that we have yet to see tommy you are absolutely right nikki well said and both of these teams have great talent but you have to get into a rhythm too and there's a rhythm for you look at this there's mr daniels back up to the 50. i'm going to tell you this kid is something special he's been a bright spot today 28 yards on this one he does it with ease look at that look at that opening for him i think i could have run through that hole right by the center big 71 chris leggett look at him look at him working pick 71 right there tell you what that kid's a track star i would bet money on that here he comes again caught and thrown up at midfield daniels and mcclendon are special running backs you really are you put kahari lanes beside those two you got yourselves a few weapons four carries 64 yards one reception for 13 yards and a touchdown it's been a nice day at the office so far for young mr daniels still got another half to go yes indeed minute nine left and a half kahari lane dropping looking to throw fakes in trouble caught gets away falls forward up to the 47. great pursuit that time by mcintosh county academy great pursuit and great coverage barry jackson on the tackle see anything he'd like about that time here comes carlton world yep leading the pursuit along with jackson for the buccaneers [Applause] they're giving lane all he wanted today i mean they've given him a tough time they're not letting him stand back they're flat-footed three third down and 14. lane again at the 40. lean whistle [Applause] ball start on the offense five yard penalty third down the continuity is just not there in the game continuity is not there sam not yet both teams offenses are sputtering a little bit we're getting great effort by both teams on defense but the offenses have sputtered just a bit here maybe we go into the locker room here at halftime and adjust some things see some things that could do a little bit better and both offensive smooth things out in the second half okay third and 14. does it matter [Applause] this time that's the end of the half and that's it [Applause] that's how the half's gonna end yes it is macon county with a seven point lead in a game a seven to nothing lead in a game that we thought was probably going to be an offensive explosion by both teams hasn't worked out that way maybe second half time maybe so nikki noto on the sidelines nikki coach we've seen penalties we've seen opportunities for explosive plays on offense how do you generate some points here in the second half we just got to block better and pick up on their stunts right now we have some miscommunication with our offensive line but we're going to go back over here and fix that figure how to fix it all right coach and what do you think is the biggest challenge right now with macintosh that you're battling we're battling their stunts and their blitzes and they're confusing our offensive line a little bit but like i said we'll go in and say we'll fix it all right coach good luck in the second half all right thank you all right let's send it over to our charming mark harmon and jackie britton for our tailgate party show i get the adjective you didn't know thanks nikki let's talk about that later all right coming up at half

public school state championship game and right now it is macon county leading mcintosh county academy by a score of 7-0 i want to see what kahari lane's got in the second half see if he can put some of those string some first downs together and get some touchdowns he's so close it'll be really exciting to see if he can set the record here at the dome what a place to set the record and to be that close and to not get it that that's a lot of pressure but not too much to ask for 52 touchdowns only one interception this year all right all right let's check out the scores of the george's emc scoreboard and right now we're in the middle of that first game of the day making counties bulldogs taking on the buccaneers of mcintosh county academy and then our two uh 2a game starts around 1 p.m undefeated top ranked benedictines cadets will take on the 13-1 purple hurricane of fitzgerald and their outstanding tailback j.d king and then the excitement continues at around 4 30. it's the 4a action between cartersville and thompson cartersville's last year's champion then at 8pm the 7a showdown between the undefeated roswell hornets who were last year's runner-up and then the top ranked 13-1 grayson rams it's the gift that keeps on giving here high school football on gpb we now welcome in the author of five books two on high school football in the great state of georgia you know he loves championship weekend but he's sad to see it roll around because there's no more brackets to fill out for him wait a minute there but uh today's uh george is brought to you by george's emc all right and you know this has been a very unique season for a lot of schools particularly on the coast because they had to deal with the hurricane arameen and matthews so we're going to spend some time in coastal georgia cooperative and okefenoke remc and let you see how the teams on the coast had to deal with it tommy palmer mentioned a lot of games in a short period of time and a lot of variables and one of those teams involved is out here right now camden county saw hurricane matthew first but after downtown saint mary's was flooded a few blocks deep there's a little left to do to get back to normal and what was left behind in saint mary's and kingsland can be summed up in one word debris everywhere not just tree limbs things you know dumpsters turned over things of that nature there i'm sure it was a little bit a little bit worse over at st mary's but we're right here in kingsland and as you're driving down the road coming to my home um you just saw things in disarray two counties north up in mcintosh darion got flooding debris everything you would think of when you think hurricane but when it was safe to return football coaches had to find everyone first you know we sent out the massive text again but i began receiving texts from a lot of players i'm still in atlanta i'm still in houston texas i'm still in florida some of them went to florida because half family you know in in inland florida still in south carolina so we had 14 show up sunday but it was good to see those 14 and make sure they were all right then you had to figure out the sprint to the finish in the regular season even as mca's 9th graders started their calendar all over again so to get it all done you're seeing teams where i think if you would ask college players to do it people say are you nuts but you got kids playing what four games in 15 days 20 days that's a lot and i'll be interested to see how some of these teams are are doing when it gets to the end of that stretch so they would have played their last game back in the last day of september and then will not play again until the 19th day of october and then play four games in 18 days to finish on november 4th in time and oh by the way to determine the region champion we're going to flip a coin and that coin flip ended up with calvary day eci and mca all being involved in all of this mca ends up being the sixth seed and mark it was a lot of work to do in a short period of time and mca got everybody healthy got everybody back and they're here for game 15. you know what a great journey by the buccaneers and they're in the dome they are and it's great to see robbie robinson back here from his time at metter too john georgia brought to you by george's emc all right let's check in with jackie time to have a little holiday fun now talk about macon county as we welcome to the program the principal of macon county high school nakia parks and nikia i know you've got to be pretty excited to be here today i'm very excited very very excited to be here today how do you think the second half is going to go in our favor okay that's good enough all right you ready to play are you smarter i am we all get a little smarter trust me at this time of year not everyone celebrates christmas not everyone celebrates hanukkah not everyone celebrates kwanzaa so do you remember the name of the bogus holiday celebrated by the costanza family on seinfeld was it a chris mahanakawanzaka okay i nailed that i think b snow dinner dini c festivus snodini festivus which one a b or c c i think festivus she says see it's festivus and that is correct it's a festivus for the rest of us a holiday involving a bare aluminum pole because tinsel is distracting the airing of the grievances and the feats of strength we'll get back to the feast of strength in a minute thank you very much for joining us thank you all right now we're going to listen into the macon county bulldogs marching band brought to you by regions bank [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] great job by the band of red the macon county marching band brought to you by regions bank i'm excited to see what happens in the second half of the game here you know coach robinson of mca said that he got his team here yesterday he wanted them in the building he wanted them to see what it's like to just be under the bright lights that is known as the georgia dome and just to experience what it feels like to be here so i think they watched a little bit of football yesterday but he wanted to get them here get them in that mindset and get them excited for what's to come and then you know you look at macon county they're a team that you know not very big when you first look at them but they've got a lot of talented guys a lot of speed track guys who uh you know they're just great athletes so it should make for some great football here in the second half you know another thing you got to take into considerations is this 10 a.m kickoff there haven't been a whole lot of 10 a.m kickoffs in these kids careers probably zero so it's kind of interesting that way to see maybe they're just waking up we'll have a great high scoring second half and one of the other great things is making county you know they've got about kids a lot of their team kids have been playing together since they're about seven or eight years old so it's just a great moment for them to just to be able to experience all of this together so the second half is ahead so we're gonna head back up to the booth now with the two guys we're gonna call this game of course tommy palmer up there and sam crenshaw but first time for the tcsg career play of the game information technology is a rapidly growing field with a wide range of career opportunities i can choose a career from animation to

gfbinsurance.com georgia farm bureau always the home team all right this is adam take two mark i guess [Music] i go like this [Music] the best part about playing football in texas has to be the reaction from the community i want to encourage others to play volleyball or choir because you get to experience new things and do stuff that you've never done before my reason why is passion my reason why is pride [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] texas [Applause] we are back at the georgia dome seven to nothing at the half macon county over mcintosh county academy not exactly the offensive explosion we had all expected but however you have to understand this this is the dome these are two teams from different parts we've had eight players sam that have ever been to the dome those have played on the dome there is some settling in to do in this situation and i think they're really settled in when you take a look at the first half stats you see gosh kahari lane one of the top passers in the state of georgia look at what he's done here for the first time he's the most frustrated man in the building look at his passing yards only 58 yards not what we expected from this guy usually he lights it up each and every friday night but it's different and like i said just some sputtering on the offense they're gonna smooth some things up in the second half hopefully get some consistency uh now you see as we look look at coach robinson and the team they went in the locker room hopefully they come out and just get some consistency going on offense that's i think is what both coaches want to see right well they said they'll fix it at the halftime i'm sure they definitely will let's go down to the sideline to the third member of our team nikki noto hey there tommy well i talked to coach mack to the macintosh head coach coach robinson at the half and the first question i asked him was an update on jay harris he said he's iffy right now he's still in the locker room being evaluated on his knee they got tangled up in that pile and you said it tommy i heard you said settle down offensively that's exactly what he told his team at the half he said look we can't score unless we settle down we're still rattled we're getting offensive uh being offside type penalties and he said in defensively we've adjusted to the vertical pass and the inside run that's really where they've been hurting us so again settling down that's going to be the key to the second half if they want to score some points i think sam probably the thing that has impressed me as much as anything is young jared daniels and mr mcclendon from that running back position they've had a they've had a good day at the office so far very impressive game for jared daniels he scored the only touchdown of the game on a short pass from lane and then playing some great defensive stops as well on the other side of the football number 21 in the black jersey he's having a great game so far and we hate to bring it up but we need to bring it up trey brown would like to have a do-over i'm sure on that long pass from carrara all alone in the end zone and it bounced off his hands definitely what about that for a minute he gets a second chance let's see if he can squeeze it yeah i'm sure he'll get a second chance don't you think i would imagine everybody will get a second chance and i'm sure mcintosh would like to have that fumble back down at the goal line yes yes an excellent drive the buccaneers are put together and down to the one all the way down to the one and just a bad snap ball comes over and it's opportunity by the board and they haven't been able to regroup and get back in that position again look at daniels they're stretching him out get them loose going to put him to work in the second half yeah i'll tell you what he's got some work to do yeah he does and they got the ball first to start the second half thomas definitely mcdonald deep to receive for macon county heads up georgia kickoff coming don't text and drive it's hard for me to walk and text oh my goodness much less driving less driving yeah all right we are headed into the second half macon county if you've just joined us in the black carrie lane 7 out of 12 58 yards one touchdown you're looking at one frustrated young man he he was very disappointed and you can tell and boy macintosh county academy has chased him like he had stole something i mean they they actually were all over him with stunts and and just everything going on and it's going to come again got a long pass look at this as a reception and campbell picks it out in mid-air sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time tommy [Applause] it's more frustrating look at that he gets the pass out there quick release he does that very well gets it right in the hands of the receiver look at that oops and look what i found unbelievable want to be in the right place at the right time there you go great job that time by campbell now let's second pick for him all year interception no catch robinson turns the corner wow [Applause] jonathan jason on the carry but the thing i like about jason is he doesn't look like he's running that hard no but he is a hard runner though he is he is a very durable inside runner he and palmer are a good combination for mcintosh county academy [Music] felton is a great defensive player look at this stop look at this stop nathaniel oliver saying hello wide awake this morning i don't guarantee you he's had his coffee this morning hadn't you gonna get the goat i'm telling you look for 58. palmer got it again palmer he has taken two shots and delivered one in return running up that middle there he got that one right there yes he did robinson third and two yet again whoa left to push after a little extra push somebody wanted to take the ball there he was offended by that taking the ball and somebody gets upset yeah a little bit i think we're a little short on the fourth down attempt upcoming and i would assume down at the 31 they're going to robinson fourth and one checking off at the line of scrimmage [Applause] got a block on the corner and more outside first down that play's been very successful all day long jason jonathan jason on the carrying palmer in the backfield with him but he's been very successful on this play right here there he is out there picking up the yardage looking at the left side of that 55 nick car party this is sophomore he's been plugged in for jay harris yeah we saw him leave the game that's where we had been seeing you know harris out there almost exclusively he was always out there in front robinson fakes gonna run it and get a couple just a couple markwell jackson's there i'm telling you to make the stop this group up front they're quick you don't fool them too often they are quick and athletic look at 10 and 18. they're long too they're tall thin kids my goodness can they run a very athletic football team and brought down at the 12-yard line j.p palmer with a nice run there got a good block up front but watch the line look at that look at that move there was that 60 and 60 back out there yeah 60 yes that was 60. man where's harris that's a surprise jay harris back out there there he is there he is that's good news there's good news he made a difference on that plate he sure did we have the five back intact breaking tackles jason gonna be caught and thrown swarm black jerseys moving to the football watch this swarm missed a tackle great pursuit wow that front four run up in there they get after you i'll tell you what i had a good friend that used to do games with me sometimes he's a great coach in the state of georgia and very renowned sam bars he said sambar said they sure do pass the look test don't they he would like he would like this group yes that front four does pass the look test fake to palmer now to jason outside he's been very active here in the second half jonathan jason two carries in the first half four on the space mask on the defense the five-yard pillar penalty so it wasn't holding it was a face mask then let's see what we got here take a look at it sam see you can find that face mask in there you know oh there look at that there we go right there whoa inadvertent but nevertheless it is there manning reaching over i will say this that front four will grab anything they can grab when you get close by won't they for macon county they are special they really are this drive is moving yes it is robinson to palmer palmer got a fumble got hit fumbled got a big hole at right tackle and fumbled at the four yard line wow it happened again again and palmer gashed him with the carry take a look at it the way he's done throughout this game there he is nice move and just gets hit the ball comes out kurt mcdonald reaching around to make the tackle and out comes the football there you go there to make the scoop is walker yep and another good block by harris to spring palmer and another drive by the buccaneers goes by the board yeah that hurts now robbie trying to calm him down calm palmer down on the sideline give to mcclendon nothing there or macintosh just jumped right up in there with their front four yeah they're working on the skid they didn't know how much this means in this game and nobody feels worse about it than palmer he's been running hard out there today he has he has take a shot of that mcintosh county sideline and you'll take them you'll see a visual view of team look how close they're all together on the other side mcintosh county over there look at that group look at that that's a team folks that's a team to give to mcclendon in the end zone first down i'll tell you what mclendon and daniels can motor they can motor watch this they lose one defender there's a second one he's looking at some good blocks given some working room they've got another gear with the offense they've got another gear and lane defensive coordinator signaling in instructions tosses it [Applause] knocked down up at the 20-yard line that's darius hicks hicks with another obviously daniels is cramping a little bit on the sidelines we saw him stretching him you know when they came back from the hand hicks dribbled it dribbled it once and it came right back to him does that always happen no it doesn't even on this surface first carry of the game for hicks lane bark signals and the left defensive end jumps off side a little bit of frustration right now still got to climb that mountain don't they sound they have to and there's time there's plenty of time left to do it we're 6 49 left in the third quarter kahari lane gives to daniels well that's that's just what he does he does it well too daniels up to the 42 or the 43 17-yard run for daniels the number 21. he's following the blocks right there nice one by yanez 56 daniel yanez with one of the blocks that really springed him and got him on his way yeah he's back to the sideline they're looking at him here yet again huh that's a valuable man for this team that's the way they've been moving today i'm telling you mccoy knocked down hard that's jc jonathan jason you've seen him on both sides of the ball here he is number four we talked about it from the outset of our broadcast today yeah that he is a he is a linebacker and and running back there's daniels daniels on the sidelines [Music] taking a little breather yeah blaine throws it away again yeah knew that was coming roberts and roberts are they going to call a face mask or grounding intentional grounding yeah yeah second one on kahari lane i tell you what i'll tell you what macintosh county has done defensively they have really frustrated this young man yes intentional grounding on the offense five yard penalty from the spot of the foul loss of down awesome and they've been able to do something that few of us have been able to do with him nobody don't know what they found during their preparation what tendencies they saw in their film and their breakdowns but they discovered something and they're throwing it at him today or maybe it's something that they didn't see from from uh from mcintosh county academy could be could be you'd be throwing something different at them and you should be aware of the blocking schemes here in the second half but that hasn't happened yet gonna run that screen and got a block and up to the 39 yard line goes trey brown nice play by trey brown definitely let's run out of after the catch first down 20-yard completion that brings up fourth fourth and 12. yeah after the penalties for the uh intentional grounding that loss of down will kill you you need all four of those you don't need just three do you yep you need that's coach copeland taking some time to to talk with lane he's obviously seeing something that he hadn't seen before today yeah and he doesn't like the way he's responding to it come out macon county their first time out of the half 459 left in the third quarter we're still set on seven to nothing macon county macon county on the move when we return introducing the 2017 mercedes-benz stadium now with retractable hardtop 58-foot halo video board and 16-story window to the city [Music] this tremendous stadium opportunity is now available to everyone book your mercedes-benz preview center appointment now at mercedesbenzstadium.com and it's on all right we're going to be doing the blindfolded run across the street challenge guys there you're pretty secure bro it's going to be great it's going to be really good i'm really not bro it bro it's only going to take like two or three seconds put the blindfold okay there's no cars right now ready three two one go reporter and i tell you what we really have had here are some missed opportunities sam no doubt the best opportunities indeed by macintosh county academy and this is one first half bad snap on the one places for that to happen and here's one that will live in infamy in a macon county trust me trey brown leading receiver all along in the end zone and then here's j.p palmer very close to scoring mcintosh yet again missed opportunities in this game yep and they there's a reason but uh it's not necessarily a good one but they always remember those things you remember those from games well that's why you want to have some time to make it up and do something to make up for you still got time yeah you said what if i could just get that opportunity again you hope that it comes robbie robinson on the sideline over there stalking that sideline he doesn't seem to be really concerned you know i guess at seven to nothing that's not insurmountable for anybody and of course you know macintosh has moved the ball on occasion here not the best punt here by guterres and i think he's had to change his stride uh because he was coming close to getting his punts blocked earlier yeah and i think he's just taking one step and just kicking it and i think it's not his normal normal gait yeah that he uses and uh not good-looking kicks but they wanted me to get out of there quicker than he was doing early in the game he was going to get one blocked today yeah you guys i tell you what uh mcintosh has kind of backed off on their pursuit of him when he puts it give on the cross block up front to the running back a little pushing and chubby there jackson or that was palmer again on the run yeah palmer again i'll tell you what that's a good thing the first thing you need to do is give it back to him one more time let him carry it after that fumble down there he gets the first carry and he gets the second as well palmer down to the 43 yard line still holding on to the ball when he got up got a player down here i'm not sure what it is it looks like a felty yeah felton this has been a very active group and i think we probably are going to get into that cramp situation yes that's what it is cramping and that's one they don't want to lose on that side no this guy's it's one of your warriors out there 120 121 tackles this season has been in on the amazing thing about that front four is that they're just so tall but they're not real heavy they're they look more like basketball players don't they yeah up front and got that basketball quickness and athletic ability it works it definitely does he's back up on his feet he's going to walk and walk that off but if you look at the numbers that'll tell you that they were playing another position before they ended up where they are please get to the sideline that still hurts oh man i'm going to tell you there's very little you can do about that now yeah you know that's one of those that wakes you up in the middle of the night you ever had those things bad that's a bad feeling hey you're [Applause] give the palmer again trying to get outside hit and thrown no gain on the play palmer tried to slide to the outside and couldn't get there trayvon williams number 15 is the one that finishes the stop here's palmer 15 is there and he completes he makes the play for making county got a timeout homer is going to be slow tomorrow he's been hanging in there though but i'll tell you what 10 and 15 and 18 have been hanging all over him all day long they really have they've been they've been on him but he keeps coming back and like you said the disappointment last drive you know he gets the fumble and they were in scoring range looked like he was possibly headed for the end zone for a touchdown and the ball comes out and nobody feels worse about that than he does so jb palmer getting some opportunities but now is a big cause i mean we had 336 in the third quarter and we got a fourth down play here coming up after our game today i think one of the best games that's going to be played in the dome this weekend benedict team military the cadets out of savannah and the fitzgerald purple hurricanes this is a number one versus number two match-up they played two back in 2013 benedictine wins they played last year in the semis and benedictine or fitzgerald won that one so now we got the rubber match today on fourth down he's going to come up a little shy [Music] key play macon county forced the stop there palmer had five carries in the first half now seven in the third quarter here's another look at palmer just trying to fight his way to that first down to that yard marker and he's not going to get there no he didn't get there and that first little bump of that offensive lineman's probably what broke that play up coach robinson he's talking to somebody on the headset upstairs and i don't think it's probably one of the most pleasant conversations today just probably do not come on just give me something here yeah has to be tough his offense has come so close to hari lane dropping the throw caught and thrown in the backfield i'll tell you what that we talked a lot about the macon county front four but those three down linemen for macintosh have gone to work here in the second half they really haven't here they are again jason the linebacker chasing after him he's the one that flushed him out and then brought him down and 14 jackson's in there as well yeah mr kahari lane has not gotten a lot of help from his running back as far as blocking is concerned you know protection back there it's been a rough game for anything else [Applause] throwing caught up at the 45.
[Music] nice catch here by keller thomas nice row boy look he got him he squeezed it in there he stabbed him with that one i think i don't know that was a squeeze or not i think that was a stack number one simon cummings was right there [Applause] lane looking at the sideline third down eight everybody's checking their arm pad to see what we're running here what play number [Applause] send him in motion lane to brown coming across the middle well played nice catch by trey brown coming underneath we got somebody down got two down somebody got up and i think we got some more cramps going on here peter eddy he's up in this number three brown nice yards after the catch that was an excellent call 10 yard gain on the play [Applause] that's it it seems like he's not quite sure he's like no he's like he's a little bit of a fog right yeah something's not right with him definitely got to bring him out yeah he's uh if you look at him you can tell he's a little woozy a little woozy yeah [Applause] to give the daniels a little a little jitterbug right in front of the defensive back six foot 190. jared daniels continues to impress you he really does macon county on the move 16-yard gain on the play lane gives the daniels nothing not this time not this time robertson robertson anthony yeah that law firm we talked about earlier roberts robertson anthony let's take a look at it and off and they're right there roberts is right there beat the ball there didn't he robert robertson anthony and dallas anthony there you go daniels nine for 99 yards mclendon got a block and gonna be thrown down at the 28-yard line robert's one of the first ones to hit him yet again [Music] less than a minute to go here in the third period we're still seven nothing tommy that is amazing i would have thought more 50 49 than than seven nothing at this point what do you think that's what i was expecting in this one yeah you don't always get what you expect i guess that's why you line them up and play there you go tahari lane still in the pursuit of that record dropping looking to throw you may tie it right here 28-yard touchdown pass and has just had hudson masons he has tied the record for touchdown passes that may relieve a lot of the pressure we may see some relaxation here sam maybe so trey brown that's going to make his bus ride back a whole lot better don't you think he said throw it to me one more time i'm gonna squeeze it there you go extra point coming up kick is up and the kick is good 14-nothing macon county here's our technical college system of georgia and there's mr lane just flings it out there nice route yep trey brown is that a holiday seven plays 57 yards three minutes and nine seconds with 20 seconds left in the third quarter tell you what that was about as nice as you can draw it up true very much very much yep trey brown of course like we said earlier in the game his wide open had one bounce off his hands here's the record he was shooting for kahari lane he's got 54 hudson mason had 54 back in 2009. deshawn watson with 50. trevor lawrence has 216 and he plays later today you want to take a look at him jeremy pribit from uh charlton county and desean watson of course from gainesville yet again yeah congratulations kahari lane that probably won't be his last touchdown pass ever no would you think he is in great company there yes he is distinguished very distinguished and trey brown you got to feel good for him after the the miss down in the end zone in the first half i will say this for kahari he does throw it nicely he can spin it he can yes he can [Music] guiterra is going to kick it off again palmer cummings cummings deep to receive and he didn't kick it very far so they're going to bring it out to the 35.
[Music] encroachment on the kicking team five-yard penalty [Music] i think he almost missed the ball let's see let's see how he does it this time if he kicks the pooch kick this time we'll know that's what he's trying to do gutierrez well there comes the instructions from mcclendon of what he needs to do with it [Music] we'll see yes we will once more it was a pooch kick caught at the 41-yard line first down macintosh now if you're macintosh here you got plenty of time you do got 12 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game but if you drive this time you've got to get some points on the board i don't think they can they'll afford to have another drive like they've had the other two and come up empty-handed that's true major robinson your quarterback gonna win the screen to his favorite receiver anderson gets up to the 45 for the 46. we have competed completed three and here's the record tying pass from kahari lane to trey [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] brown this program on

through real-world experiences and on-the-job training 14-nothing is your score macon county leads mcintosh county as we head into the fourth quarter and of course two touchdown passes from kahari lane a little short one that daniels did the yeoman work on on that one but a thing of beauty here to just a few seconds ago to trey brown top receiver and the harley lane ties the hudson mason record and of course i'm sure he wants to break that record oh yeah no doubt kahari lane 6-2-2-30 his nickname the red rifle he's got a good smooth touch on it as well he throws all the balls well sam robinson gibbs at the middle palmer twisting turning gets a first down for everybody's information in the nfl peyton manning had 55 touchdowns in 2013. so kahari lane how about that that's a lot of touchdowns it really is that's a lot but it makes it even more impressive what mcintosh county academy has been able to do to him listen they have chased him all day long and he's he's not had the best day he's ever had at the office but he you know it's been record-breaking oh look at this goodness that was a fumble yeah oh my look at this if you will macon county ball they drive that play early work earlier in the game they're coming back with it again watch it she goes back here they blow it up play right there 50. the month of walters and 25 manning doesn't realize it there manning's manning's going here the other way he doesn't eat anything he gives up on the bar instead of saying hey and look at their harris almost recovered it for her mcintosh county look at him he says i had no idea look at that you're forgotten yeah he's gonna yeah he's gonna hear about that later he's gonna hear about that a lot you hear me he will hear about that a lot all right kahari lane looking caught and thrown oh my mr roberts neighborhood mr roberts neighborhood and i believe there was a parking shot right there wasn't think he said something to him i don't know i don't i don't think he was congratulating him on tying the record watch this seems like he came in with no no opposition at all just came right on in and got him watch this you see him turn [Music] have a nice day loss of 10 on the play here's lane at the 41 dropping throwing [Music] almost intercepted he was throwing for trey brown again put a little error under that one didn't he good nice throw simon cummings there on defense take a look at this watch for number one in white [Applause] there to break that one up i know people are going to shake their heads but you know the macintosh county secondary and the macintosh linebackers have had real good days yeah and the guys on the on the ground up there who put their hands on the ground they've had a good day mcintosh has had a good day defensively mclendon down to the 31 yard line kahari is uh not doing well rushing he's he's eight from minus 39 rushing eight calories minus 39 in rushing and he has been chased all day as we have alluded to lane got a man down to the 20 mclendon knocked out of bounds by jason nice execution on this play tommy yeah you see runs right out of the backfield and the catch there by mclendon 12-yard gain jason there on the stop number four lane we got movement now they're gonna run nope i don't think he was expecting that snap at that particular point in time did you notice that and none of his lamin moved they all stood in the same they froze look at this watch his line they all stand in one place they don't block i don't think that was a design play i'm sure they're trying to get him to record 9 25 left in the game gonna give it to daniels [Applause] daniels 19-yard run and he's up over probably 1 15 120. nice day at the office that's a good looking running back good looking running back in yeah technical college system of georgia instant replay guitierrez for the point names he's got it yeah let's take another look at the daniels touchdown macon county up 21-0 having quite a day jared daniels macon

everyone in danger life is a precious thing that could change in a matter of seconds [Music] safe driving saves lives 21 nothing macon county mcintosh has been knocking on the door all day long and they've had three critical turnovers here's one and this one really hurt you down on the one-yard line this one hurt two palmer looked like he was on his way to possibly score and the ball comes out and here's a killer the ball comes out here macon county took that took six plays 32 yards and it took two minutes and three seconds and they upped the lead two 21 nothing tell you what those two guys right there are really thinking deep right now 9 20 left in the game got to do something yeah time's going to become your biggest enemy now will become the clock it is the enemy right now gutierrez will kick it off gonna roll it to the up man i don't think that was on purpose i think he wanted to keep it on the ground but nice stop by nice move nice nice move there by brandon howard yeah 18 alertly watching for that kick and stags it and uh hey it gives major robinson some good field position to work with a short field yeah they are 54 and a half yards away from a touchdown here let's see what the buccaneers can do robinson two wides right and one to the left rolling looking to throw good protection got a man coming out of the backfield got him there and out of bounds first down yardage that's a good call definitely a good call simon cummings on the catch you can do another run when you get the ball near midfield to start your possession it allows you to call plays like this one first down mcintosh down at the 43. cummings heads to the slot got a hurry here robinson pressured going to run the screen sniff that one out uh darius felton he's back yes he's hydrated yep shaking off the cramps head hunting he looked just fine on this one didn't he that one will sting for a while good night hello mr grant good morning good afternoon and good night goodness gracious robinson throwing complete to anderson anderson got a block anderson out of bounds down at the 23. that's his leading receiver his great friend they're big buddies they're big buds and obviously they do this quite often nice throw nice catch nice catch and nice yards after the catch exactly we got a drive here robinson to anderson let's see if they can finish it tommy 22 yards on the completion robinson looking to throw pressure down he goes at the 34. by the way daniels daniels for macon county who scored the touchdown 118 yards so far today i'll tell you what this group up front is something special for macon county let's go down to nicki nodey on the sideline sorry nicky that's okay tommy well look that sack obviously wasn't ideal but that first down was huge for macintosh hopefully they can turn around and make something happen you know dustin anderson was on the sideline he told us quarterback i wanted the ball and then his brother austin looked at him said yeah but you got to do something with it so first down not bad robinson rolling robinson going to run and be knocked down at the 31 yard line felton again he recuperates quickly doesn't he yeah he does yeah goodness gracious robinson comes out and kept and says all right you're going to come out i'm going to come and get you you know a lot of teams don't tackle well this is picture-perfect tackling by this front four every one of them tackle perfectly we've got somebody else down fifth is walters yeah [Music] all right 51.
51 lit him up there he wasn't looking out for austin anderson yeah so walters is still down on the field there have been no shortage of hard hits i mean good hits but they're not you know when you talk about tackling and you start talking with coaches because as we all all know a lot of restrictions have been placed on time for contact right in practice so you don't get a lot of time to really teach shackling where you were you actually attacking a a human being you have all the different things that the team and he's jogging off yeah anybody likes that so you talked about them being a great tackling team it's being taught and the guys are really learning yeah and that's a credit to the coaching staff yeah but they really tackle about as well as any team i've seen don't you think that you really do [Music] 21-0 macon county robinson dropping throwing incomplete down at the 20. palmer couldn't hold on to it jp has not had a great day today he's had some good runs and some some good catches but it's been a tough day for him it's been a tough day yeah taking some shots out there today you play this game long enough it it'll it'll happen to you you have those kind of days [Music] you remember the good ones and you'll remember the bad ones robinson look at this oh my wrong time wrong place robinson manning in there making a stop on that but that's a bad time to have that happen i'm telling you yeah 709 left to go macon county in control 21 to nothing [Music] the ghs football championship is made possible in part by regions it's time to expect more georgia's

left in this one bacon county leads it 21 to nothing and this gentleman right here daniels has had a great day jared daniels 10 carries 118 yards watch this kid motor he can move after the catch it makes it look easy gliding in for the score handoff nice run here watch this he's got another gear and it's effortless he just slides and glides i like the way he runs the football yeah had a great one yeah it's been pretty easy at least he makes it look that way yeah and they're keeping him stretched out on the sidelines now murray lane has tied the touchdown pass record for the state of georgia i would imagine here in the last 709 of this one he's probably going to go for the record i don't think they'll take the pedal off the middle now lane throwing incomplete uncatchable pass yeah trying to get with thomas no no flag on that one not a catchable pass yeah oops there is a flag could be holding here let's discuss this what do you think sam the way they're moving around it looks like holding on the offense 10 yard penalty from the spot on the foul first down all right we may see a long buzz bomb here from kahari let's make sure trey brown's in there he is he's out near the 20. okay lined up on the left side favorite guys to connect with he likes to throw it trey brown there's several others back there he likes to throw it with okay got a block [Applause] mclendon [Music] wow 23-yard run [Music] ms mcclendon the handoff shakes two defenders there daniel's better waiting for a block daniels better get well on the sideline clinton's get looking like him a little bit isn't he he was yeah he had to wait for a block from brown yeah and now he's out of the game for a minute nothing there knocked down guess who mr daniels he gets knocked down by roberts robertson roberts i tell you what mcintosh county academy defense is a very proud defense they played well they have they really have played well this is a high-powered macon county team what are they averaging in the 40s every game third down two [Music] gonna run and gonna be thrown down at about the 38-yard line he can move it when he needs to yeah he can move listen he's 6-2-2-30 losing defenders he's got a pretty good gate there he can run i don't know if i looked out of the left side of my vision there and saw roberts coming i might put a little more gas on it there wouldn't you have to get by that guy the game that he's had here today yeah i'm telling you lane dropping to throw pressure rolling out looking complete down at the 20. that's a nice throw there that's hard to hard to do everybody can't make that throw folks and he's doing it on the move yeah that's what i mean what is this rolls to the right side looking looking and throws throws across that's his pinpoint yeah keldrick thomas for the catch yeah 18-yard completion there palmer on the tackle kahari lane tied the record here in the second half i think everybody from macon county wants him to break it there's a completion nothing doing there thomas drake on a stop tell you what mcintosh is hanging in there they're playing hard they're hanging in there but time's running out and that's the biggest enemy they have right now that's true 424 left [Music] [Applause] copeland he looks a lot happier this half than he did last night yeah he had several moments where he was unhappy in the first half of this game [Music] trey brown three round 21-yard touchdown pass and he broke the record folks new record holder kahari lane and trey brown i'm glad he caught that yeah he had a couple of chances to make over thank you all the congratulations yeah on the sideline there for lane yeah look at him 55 touchdowns this season sets a new season pass touchdown record guiterrez adds the point here's technical college system of georgia yeah and there he is the red rifle zoom nice throw nice catch there's a reason he's got 55 this year he warmed up in the second half didn't he that's a good looking ball yeah that's a good looking ball all right here's the list kahari lane 55 2016. hudson mason 2009 he had 54 desean watson 50. trevor lawrence has got 49. jeremy privett 47. they just put it up on the board great here in the crowd giving a big ovation to harry lane he deserves it he does he does seven plays 62 yards 3 26 taken off the clock [Music] they did get the ball for him huh great that's good deserving young man he deserves it we might point out you know for folks back home who want to know 3.7 grade point average 3.7 grade point average yeah um a number of colleges you know a little slow and and catching on as far as the recruiting goals but i think that's going to pick up after today knocked out of bounds anderson on the carry flag i believe it's going to be a little late tackle there why aren't you talking a little talk afterwards too yeah it's a little late for talk folks i'm telling you anderson out of bounds [Applause] on the return team 10 yard penalty from the spot of the foul be first and 10.
[Music] flag on the play believe it's going to be a personal foul on mcintyre it is you see the look all over coach robinson's face that look describes today yeah that's it [Music] robbie's going to go back home and take a look at this and say if we had done this if we had done this oh yeah over and over sometimes it's a game of inches you know you're on the one-yard line and you fumble and there's anderson complete again you know three fumbles it's tough to overcome that you know i tell you what we talk about kahari lane and and what a great quarterback he is but there's a reason he's got time to throw and it's that group up front that plays on offense but i have not seen a more athletic front four than making counties in a long time robinson throws incomplete 325 left in this one and robinson's a junior he's back next year now as is much of this starting offensive line definitely for the buccaneers yeah they've they've done a good job that front five that that coach robinson likes so much i mean he thinks they're just a special front and they really are grant on the carry not much there it's fourth down and one what do you do here you just you may as well go ahead and go for it shouldn't you i don't think you have a choice i don't either three minutes to go in the game you're trying to get some points on the board definitely robinson looking to throw incomplete still pushing and chubbing and they have had had a nice little meeting out there all afternoon and that one's been going on all day you know yep anderson and robinson and all that group with a little look looking pass out there yep that kind of day coach yeah it's been that kind of day for you yeah he's he's walking down there talking to himself now what a nice man yes very nice man like i said earlier this is the second time around right at mcintosh county academy yeah daniels right up the middle breaking tackles down to the 27 or 28 yard line all right let's take a look at those record-breaking touchdowns daniels did the heavy lifting on this one but watch what happens here beautiful pass to trevor brown leading receiver and then the record breaker to trey brown brown again yeah exciting times at macon county i know he has to be happy and well he should lane to mclinda [Applause] breaking tackles mclendon down to the four-yard line cummings makes the stop along with roberts almost almost for mclendon who's some very determined running here chicken defender there another one i would imagine mclendon says to daniels i'm not the second string running back i am the other running back wouldn't you say wouldn't you run like that one yeah like that one hey i'm not second field anybody here there you go there is the other great running back from macon county mclennan mcclendon and daniels have had great days today but you know people are going to remember kahari as well you know kahari lane but i will say this these running backs have kind of set the tempo yes they have [Applause] delay did he say yeah okay all right 129. are they gonna let him do it again they're gonna let him throw forward again you think let's see coach copeland he's got that sneaky look on his face what are you gonna do what's he gonna do let's see i think he's going to throw it here got it trey brown with the trifecta there you go that's 3-4 he's having fun he's having fun technical college system of georgia here's another look at the replay there you go lane with the pass to his main man look at that catch wow he slides all the way down all the way to the wall [Music] is good

there have been some bright spots for macintosh it just hasn't gone well the three fumbles have really really been the deal you have the drives uh first of all to get into scoring position against this very difficult make lincoln county defensive unit and you can't convert and that makes for a very frustrating day it does it does and macon county has really taken control here in the last part of the third and then the fourth quarter offensively especially robinson throwing anderson out of bounds nice catch down there he's had some good work today anderson is a wide receiver he really has robinson's favorite paper connection 23 yard completion there robinson to anderson robinson dropping to throw in and out of the hands of j.p palmer down at the 23 or 24 yard line 105 left with the incompletion [Music] second and 10 macintosh robinson throwing look at that one-handed catch palmer how about that great one-handed pull that one in and a coach went down and felton's down in felton's
