He's going coast to coast, clear the runway.

He's coming in.

It's a helicopter slam tap to the build up from three to watch.

This guy goes full drive and backs it in and gets it the whole game.

It's game three of what is a dynamite afternoon and day of basketball for you.

Hoop aholic here in the great state of Georgia, Buford and Saint Pius for the girls Triple A championship here at the center.

Blacks in the Coliseum in middle Georgia.

Good afternoon to you.

I'm Jill Tyree, along with my partner in crime, Herb White.

And Herb, we have a dynamite match up here this afternoon.

Buford State fires two teams who know a whole lot about each other.

But we have a lot of star power.

Yeah, they met in the finals last year in Asia.

Durr went for 35, I think.

So we're going to talk about the same player star right now.

That be our Excuse me Asia tour.

Let's take a look at her.

She's 510.

She's a lefty, as we mentioned, one of the top players in the state and also in the country.

She's just a junior.

She averages 24 a game.

And on the other side, let's take a look at Camille Anderson, a great player as well.

She changes a lot of different roles for this team, plays several positions, averages 14 and a half points, seven rebounds.

And she's signed with North Carolina State.

Take a look at the starting lineup here tonight and late afternoon here in Macon in what was been an outstanding day so far.

And we congratulate second Saint Francis already champions.

But our starting lineup.

First up for the Buford Wolves brought to you by Regions Bank.

You see Anderson Osmond, Horrocks.

The big center is headed to Purdue, Don Bosco and Staples.

And for the Saint Pius Lady Golden Lions, you see Rodriquez Carter, the aforementioned Asia for Asia, the amazing Hannah Jones and Adriana Davis, and the keys to this basketball game here tonight.

Herb brought to you by tax G Learn more, earn more.

Well, that's Saint Pius.

That should actually say jump defense.

And that's probably because of my the way I speak.

But I've talked with Coach Jordan and was wondering if they might try something like a dime in one box and one on your door.

He said, I can't tell you.

So the other thing is to limit Horrocks, the offensive rebounding inside.

She really can take it off the board and stick it back.

So try to keep her off the back boards and for the kids, for the beautiful lady wall, of course they're going to try to contain and limit doing everything they can.

She had 35 against them last year.

You can't stop her, but maybe you can keep her from getting 35 and then take advantage of hard size inside.

She can go to the board, she can rebound and stick it back.

Nobody can match up with her in the paint.

Are officials here?

This afternoon, JT Turner, Drew Bruton and Glenda Bird and outstanding officiating crew from the Georgia High School Association.

Herb, I tell you what, we've seen three games this spring, the third and those first two were outstanding.

That St Francis game came down to the wire.

Yeah, it did.

It was a wonderfully played ballgame by both teams, a lot of great plays and a lot of great players and you know, I was speaking with Coach Durden earlier in the week and he was telling me that he and Coach Snipes are very, very good friends.

They talk several times a week during the season.

I wonder if they talk this week.

I'd love to been a fly on the wall if they did, but I got a feeling they haven't spoken in the last few days.

Coach Durden has been there a long time.

He's always a friend of us here at GPB and always accessible and we can't thank them enough.

And of course, Herb talked about Kyle Snipes.

I call Coach Snipes the former master.

Every time you talk, you talk to him.

It's I'm whiney.

I'm concerned.

I listen, I'm not you know, he seemed like he learned from Vince Dooley convincingly.

Good for him.

Out with the best of him.

Yeah, well, Vince could cry when he had Herschel, and Coach can cry when he's got agent nerds.

Can you kind of look at him?

Okay.

Come on, Coach.

Both teams are out on the floor this afternoon.

Happy to have you here on the great TV and what has been an outstanding three days of high school basketball here in the state.

Durant will jump it up along with Hawks.

And the ball is controlled by Buford.

They're wearing green with the goal trim.

St Pius dressed in white.

He's staying positive.

We go to a13 early on.

One, three, one.

Yep.

And they did.

And they did.

And with the ball they go the other way.

After the rebound taken down by Rodriguez that is Durr and Buford opens in his own as well.

She launches a three off the our no good ball went out of bounds it appeared to go off Buford players the referees are conferring at St Pius will retain possession There you go and look at Coach Snipes both teams opening zone.

That's kind of interesting.

You don't see that very often these days.

But both coaches said they'll do what they have to do to win the ball game.

And I appreciate them pulling up inside the lane with a miss from Saint Pius.

What's Carter the rebound taken down by Buford as we go the other way early on here and Mike Evans the three eight championship for girls on the line and the drive into the lane and fouled was Corey Staples and they'll get him for an offensive foul it look like take a look at this it was not an offensive foul it was contact and it looked like Davis was in the in the vicinity.

Herb Yeah and if you watch how St Pius is setting their defense, they've got that one, three, one and they're playing it primarily because of Horrocks.

Down inside, she's probably eight inches taller than any of the Saint Pius players and they are really fronting and running her tough and behind her.

You'll watch it next time we come down the floor.

How they set that defense up.

It's primarily to limit her inside cause staples on the line as you see Coach Snipes barking out instructions to his saint by his team and she missed both of them.

The rebound was controlled by Buford and they were foul and in person and the foul was fouled was down back.

And that was Davis again that's her second.

So Dumbarton Oaks the first and Buford with an early one nothing lead great great job by Dunbar to sneak in and steal that rebound from Butler Travis second excellent form And now it's the three to nothing the lady wolves over say five early on here in making three Rodriguez on the wing as much as Rodriguez again and launching a three off the iron no good was dirty and the foul by Hannah Jones no good Johnson with the rebound as we go the other way, I'm sure Coach Durden will be happy as George as wants to stand outside and launch long threes because he can take it to the hoop and pass as well.

So he's missed two from distance the Miss by Hawks and the rebound control by go go puts the ball on the floor almost taken away They fight for it and it is stolen but they use it in half That's it That's Dunbar that's hawks in the lane No good rebound for on the floor A follow up and good I'm telling you Dunbar Dunbar is everywhere Crowd down.

But she's not very tall.

But she can get in under the boards in a hurry.

Watch.

Just watch her sneak down the baseline again.

Just like she did to get that free throw a moment ago.

And she's fired up.

You take a look at it again, Herb the Miss by Hawks in the Lane and you said like she said Don back was right there and put it up And then Nicole Rodriguez did not block out just looked at the rebound and down.

But somebody better get in front of her.

She's going to wreak some havoc at the other end.

I was watching and Buford was playing that one, three, one, but they're playing it straight.

I was watching to see and nobody went through.

And then as you do a cut through, so it's not a jump defense.

It's just a straight up one, three, one.

Let's take a look at the road to how they got here to the championships brought to you by Georgia EMC.

First Q for two.

Yep.

Buford Now over Ringgold, 6429 over my Decatur Bulldogs 41 to 28 took care of Woodward Academy and then Pike County 6346 Don makes the end one converts a five nothing early on lead, but Buford the Miss by Carter, goes over the top and out of bounds.

Let's take a look at Saint Pius and how they got here.

Their road to the championships brought to you by Georgia EMC lighting the way, ripped double digit leads over North Oconee or double digit wins East tall Morgan County and Beech Drive and the base line it's Camille Anderson of Saint Pines has taken four shots and they've all been three pointers, I believe, say pies in the early hold they trailed seven nothing in the fourth quarter.

And Macon, it's third quarter now.

Harden makes it tough to get off inside in the paint and launching a three off the iron no good we should mention that Obi Okafor is in the game now for Saint Thomas You're out tough working against Cosmi on the wing is Anderson and Carter out there to stop it You look around the hawks nice patience by the Buford wolves here Very much so in the corner right now that's Tom Bock struggling with it, guarded really tough by Rodriguez gets it away and that's Hawks the big center.

He's headed it for Drew and she's going to launch it three and get it.

Well, they just need her to take it.

She knocked it down nine, ten, nothing right now.

But Saint Pius is not able to get on the board yet.

I played with a lot of guys.

He didn't have to dare near that long.

They take a shot, a turnover and it looks like right now heard that Saint Pius is just out of sync.

Yeah I think that 131 zone is really giving them some problems.

They can't find anything in the middle and all they're getting is long looks right now they've got to come up with some offensive strategy against that zone.

Shooting numbers right now Saints High School for five, Buford three of six.

They don't put down the Hawks looking around the spin and off the yard no good the rebound control by Saint Pius and they get him in the hands of Asia there.

Oh you got to get through those cracks in gaps in the one, three, one.

There's gaps in that zone and walls come down in the corner, the in and out and the miss by Osman correct me to miss by open for.

Well that was a free man taken down by the first time they've actually penetrated on the zone and got a good look there along the baseline it's down but the thumbs down, the hawks spin around jump hook off the arm.

Lazy shot, no good.

The rebound taken down by the golden lions.

And we go the other way Okafor launching a three in and out and off the on and the rebound is controlled by Saint Pius and struggling with it is Dirk after you hearts is really got a soft touch in there doesn't see that ball just sits on the rim like you said a lazy shot nice substitutions for both these teams on the sidelines right now and we'll set them up at our next week ten nothing say pie is still scoreless and we're right now inside of 3 minutes Gore is going to launch a three off the iron no up and rebound control by Anderson drives to the hole for Buford and she gets whacked for she took it in another gear.

She went down the lane and she will go to the line.

And we're going to take a break with the score at ten, nothing.

Buford will be back to make it after these very important messages on the great GPB folks.

What's better for Mr. Martin Honda in Gainesville?

We want to wish all the teams in the state playoff the very best of luck.

G.A., come back here in Macon.

Let's head over to the third member of our crew this afternoon, the lovely Raven.

Toronto.

Raven, good afternoon to you.

Hey, yo, I know earlier you were talking about Coach Saxon saying that he can tend to be whiny, but when I was talking to him earlier, he said that he's not anxious.

He's not really worried.

He's just treating it as any other game.

But there's something else that he has to be worried about.

His wife is expecting a third child any day now, so I was talking to one of the assistants, Bridget, and she was saying, listen, I told her when we're in the finals, don't have your baby yet.

And then after that, you can have it either Monday or Tuesday.

But after that, you have to hold off.

And then she said, But if she does have it, it's okay.

He's been there for the other two.

So he has a lot of other things he's expecting in this very tense state championship game.

Back over to you, Herb.

Thank you.

Ravens, for that information.

Herb, we can both attest to that.

Yeah, understanding.

Well, he's worried about his team delivering on the offensive end right now and they're getting too much done again, they're firing up the jumpers from outside.

Now, that last look, Major door is probably one of our favorite shots of the year right there at the head of the key, an open look just couldn't get it to go down.

Andrew Anderson it was found in transition goes to the line she makes the first six now or 11 nothing if you it out in front and Herb you do not want to dig a hole that you can't climb out of there no one is good to 12 nothing right again you got to get the ball into the gaps against that 131, drive it into the gaps, make two players play you.

Then there's going to be some openings passing it around the perimeter is not going to get it done.

Ashley Kroger among those in the lineup.

Now for the miss and the follow by juror after the miss by Carter.

And they can't buy a basket her.

Take a look at the replay here.

Well, when things aren't going from outside you're having a tough time scoring sometimes just getting on the offensive board, getting second looks.

But even more great as the door can knock down the free throw.

So nothing working right now for the Golden Lions foul on Kroger.

Her first there on the line again she makes the second and that's the first points of the game at the 222 mark here in the first quarter for say pious that's Anderson oh, Anderson a strong looking player down back to Anderson 205 in the opening period, Carter goes out on to Anderson, still in control.

Nice ball movement in the lane demeanor was no good by Chandler Hall on the rebound taken down by say Pius that's Carter to Durham who watches a three off the air no good And Anderson with the rebound she loses it Bobby's on the floor like a scrum and it'll be a tie up And we have a whistle here and it looks like they got Maya Allen on the foul.

She goes to the ball first and that's my Allen's first.

Hawks back in the game for Buford and Kroger out of nothing going same passes way right now that's their team foul Buford has one Anderson will walk it across the double rings starting her is Jasmine Carter Parks at the top of the key Chandler home to Anderson working against Carter drives baseline and loses it off her foot out of bounds turnover the ball goes over the same pass 12 to 1.

If you're in a state of shock.

Herb and I are two.

Hazel dear the only points for say, five.

And that was the free flow brought you to three from the corner.

No good.

There's my Alan Rebound Control by Buford in the person of Camille Anderson.

Anderson is going to stop and drop it.

That's a three.

That's a three.

You got a trace factor.

15 to 1 now under a minute to go get zone is really bothering say play so well you don't you can't lose a game in the first quarter but you can sure as heck make it very, very difficult on yourself to come back and wolves have really got to pick it up start the second quarter on the wing looks back door fires by the golden eagle yes Okafor and that's the first basket of the afternoon 15 to 312 seconds to go And these are results of the last shot that's down by down back looks finds James correct me that's the culture and culture is going to launch one and it's waived off now it plays out That's very close very close.

Well we'll probably get another look at that.

Don't know.

The officials say it's a split second call, that's for sure.

Together, you got to look for the light on the backboard.

Now.

Here we go.

There I am telling you, that's right.

Inside that scramble, tiniest, very difficult call for the official there.

All right.

We are get ready to move to the second quarter 15 three Buford.

Back here in Macon, Joe Tyree, herbalife 15 three.

The start of the second quarter.

The Buford Lady Wolves of the same pie as the lady golden Eagles in early observations Herbalife.

Well you have this brilliant strategy on the part of the Buford to come out in that zone and it's really thrown a monkey wrench and saint passes offense but Saint Pius needs to work a little better against it.

Let's quickly go over to Grace Colson.

And Grace, what's trending out there in the social networks?

Thank you.

Thank you, Gil, there is so much going on here at the arena.

And while we love bringing you all this excitement on TV, I have to say there's far too much just for television.

That's why GPB Sports is on social media.

We're on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, making you feel like you're right here at the Macon Coliseum with us as we watch Buford take on St Pius, make sure to like GPB Sports on Facebook.

Also, tweet us, hashtag TPB, hoops, finals.

That's where the conversation is.

So find us on Facebook.

Find us on Twitter.

Yo, you know, Grace, I thought I would start a Twitter war between Kelly came and went to the same page with the Tennessee and Taylor Davis, who's now Georgia Tech, who later her and I thought they'd give it Twitter world going and want see how they're talking some trash right now you know huh?

Hey a troublemaker Mel.

Yeah.

The high lob they were looking for a door on the back door and it goes out of bounds.

And Carter and Darren looked like they had a little connection there, but they were failed to connect.

So the turnover will go over the music, leading 15 to 3.

The shooting.

Just pathetic, really.

One, six, 13, six, five.

That's all you can call is also ten from Buford.

But they have the luxury of having the big guy in the middle that they can steal.

Victor In the middle they can throw two in that zone and that's Staples loses the ball in the lane there with it in transition with numbers over it, head flip and they call it for an offensive charge.

He ran over their defender and that looked like that was down back right there.

It's tough to tell from that angle, but might have been sliding over.

But let's say we'll get a good look from this angle.

I thought she slid in front of his.

You two are there.

But toughest call in basketball hawks with the Miss Great.

But Toronto, what do you got for us?

Well, guys, I was over in the St Pius Huddle coming out of the break earlier and I just listen to what Coach had to say.

And he said, offensively, we just need to attack more and get to the basket more defensively.

He said, We're doing all right.

The screens aren't really bothering us, but when it comes to number zero, don't let her shoot.

Don't let her score because she's going to score when she has the ball.

And then as far as the calls go, he said that he talked to the referees.

It is what it is.

There's nothing they can do about it.

And it's going to be a physical contact game and they're just going to have to deal with that.

Back over to you.

Them or even think you use them as fodder.

And then down back with the rebound and she traveled in the lane the ball goes back over to Saint Pius on the inbounds is Carter to Durant on the wing now is Carter working against Dunn but pulls up and rises up and knocks it down 15 to 5 now the lead enjoyed by Buford at ten down but fakes the three then dumped it inside the hawks who put it outside Anderson he slices drives puts it off glass no good rebound controlled by surprise and it's in the hands of as you do it does nice pass on the backdoor that's Okafor and we have a whistle inside first for the last two times down same time she's done what they have to do against his own They've tried to get inside it the last time they split it to the national jumper from about 14 feet and that time they got inside and Buford is gone cold for the last couple of minutes, stuck on 15, got down back on the foul.

Her first and in and out for Durham who continues to struggle from the field Carter with the rebound she doesn't go ball for four knocked out of bounds and Gershwin's over there and look like Baumbach was over there and so too was Osma the ball goes over to St Pius Inbounding it will be Carter throws it out.

Ta da.

No backcourt violation.

She'll get it off the time line as your field goal is right there.

Gives you an idea of what's going on.

And that pretty much just serves pretty much terms you right her exactly where it is and they correct that real quick and launching a three was my Allen and the percentages had a hard evening and now just a little bit sooner or later 15 to 8 now and that was a good look.

Yes I know it wasn't that is down box state players on a seven over run now the thumbs down the Hawks and the Mavs she gets her own rebound up and in six foot five Nice job of staying with it She's also a volleyball player three hawks who's headed to West Lafayette, Indiana, committed to produce their launches.

An NBA three Celtics starting to warm up a little bit of it, 17 to 11 the first time that same pass has got in the double figures.

And immediately Coach Stern, 30 calls, a timeout.

It's a deep three by door.

She's taken about six of those from the head of the circle has two.

The first one she's made.

But you can guarantee if she's not going to stop shooting that have to have her score.

And so at Saint Pius in the midst of an 11 two you see Harden staying with her Miss follows up Nice job.

You know the thing when we had talked to Coach Snipes on our conference call, he said he was concerned about being precise and you have touched on that with the rebounding numbers and and they're sending everybody to the glass.

And so far, so good for the lady warriors.

Yeah, well, you know, same passes come up with three or four offensive rebounds here and that's helped them get back in this ball game.

They kept a couple of possessions alive and Cupid's got to do a little better job of rebounding their defensive.

And as we told you earlier, they are in the midst of an 11 two run, same page as you just saw on your screen, 1711 here as we approach halftime 425 to go before Mark Harmon and Claire Sims and the rest of the gang or get you up to snuff on what's going to go on here in Macon on day three on a split and from one with the ball for Buford was Staples and Hawks tried to clean it up, but to no avail.

The rebound controlled by state players, that star she's going to launch another one and the foul and I think she was at the three point line Herb if I think she was standing on the wheel said let's see can we get her to there Give her to okay she was inside the three the foul was on staples the so I know from the crowd when she makes that little fake there she's clever with the ball and there she is.

You know any run in basketball has to include good defense.

You know, you don't get a run unless you shut the other team down.

And St Pius is doing a good job down there with their zone right now.

You know she's that good combo guard the ability to penetrate get everybody involved in all types of assorted shots entering the game for Saint Pius is Nicole Rodriguez and Asia duel will sit for the first time this afternoon.

Well we knew Buford was not going to maintain that big of a lead on they had to expect to come back by same time.

So let's see how they handle it.

Now.

They've got to maintain their composure and Notre to back down back now gives it over to Chandler Hall, the miss and a rebound taken down by Carter of Saint Pius.

She goes to the hole the one to no good gets her on the rebound up and in Carter an excellent athlete she can get off the floor get the time here for the defensive rebound to it down to her and that's the same on the other same Pius crowd has gotten energized as they pull within to the 353 mark 701 another run in hurt talked about it they go to Hawks she lays it up and in and silence 19 to 15.

Now Frank Pines has some shockingly lime green t shirts given out on the stadium.

They get tucked into that 131 again that's Carter Carter against Hawks pulls up, rises no good rebound fought for controlled by St Pius and launching a three was Rodriguez and the rebound controlled by Osman Taylor Ozment across the time line.

What a great atmosphere of high school basketball here in Macon That's Hawks double team the fake by Hall driving the baseline is Ozment laying up and and and count it Nice job working that baseline by Ozment got bumped and still got it to go down with the score 2115 302 until at halftime We'll be back and make him happy these very important messages on the great GPB are you getting ready to go to college?

Back here and making her what?

You got some numbers for me, huh?

Yep.

Since the second quarter opened up, the offense gone three for eight and Saint Pius shooting much better.

Four for ten, only 40%.

But that's a lot better than one.

Two for 17.

So.

But they're getting better looks.

They started taking a little more time against that zone and they got inside some and now they're three point shots are a little better.

And again, the percentages had to catch up there to get a shooting team to continue to shoot that poorly as well, saying pies themselves in the hole early on.

They only see the last basket.

That's Rossman taking the baseline Nice job that's that was Okafor standing in and the concern of you know in terms of Okafor were her knees coming in but she's got a lot of minutes early on here but you know going back to what I talked about earlier that St Pius dug a hole her but they've been able to climb out of it and went scoreless just about their first basket came like shoot 22 in the first period.

And right now second quarter is the numbers right now rebounding numbers St Pius is outrebounded Buford 8 to 3.

Well Coach Snipes is too good of a coach to panic, especially when you got a couple of great players on your team and somebody like Brewer and you know, they've been here for a while.

They know what it takes and they know they can play the game.

So they weren't going to panic.

Taylor on of the list.

And it stays in the one three one half the entire game so far.

Brunson Another three it's good and counted and she's warming up right now She got it going on 21 to 18 That's Anderson to the lane to the rack.

No call for rebound control by, say, fires.

They get it into Doris hands Durr to Carter rising up no good Carter has been bothered by a jam fingers and coach said that he was concerned about it Coach Snyder said he was concerned about it coming in, but she's looked pretty good there, even though she missed it.

I say passes, man and might be a good time to look for Horace inside.

She's one on one with somebody.

Glen Dawkins gets a shot blocked and the ball takes hold by Saint Pius at the hands of Carter.

Jasmine Carter stops fall backs in and out The rebound taken down by Osman Taylor Osman the senior loses the basketball that's Carter straight ahead and she's going to get it Chippy 21 to 20 Saint Pie's has closed within one That's as close as they've been since the opening tip.

125 until halftime.

Dorian extending that defense out, pressure on the ball.

That's three hard shot high.

I'd be looking for her inside.

If it's one on one, go to her.

She's got a foot on her defender and they've got Anderson on steps.

Yeah well they didn't even try to get but I go to harden down low the girl is defending is about a foot smaller and find out if they're going to double team.

If they do, then somebody is going to be open and she'll kick it out.

So Pius with the basketball with the first opportunity to lead in this basketball game.

You shoot five turnovers here in this quarter.

Yeah, she said.

St Pius is really extending their defense.

They've turned up the pressure a little bit.

They go to there on the wing up top to Carter.

That's Rodriguez for third launches a three from the corner and she's on fire now and she gives St Chi's their first leader tonight.

ASU draw with 12.

Well that's one of the places 11 in this quarter at 131 zone you're vulnerable down there in that corner So they may have to come out of that zone.

They're going to have her down there on the baseline.

Didn't take her long to get warmed up.

That's Anderson under 20 seconds to go Carter out on her strong Anderson around.

That's Lombard's They look for the big and hard she's going to launch a three it's online no rebound control 3 seconds to go and the ball's taken by say Ponce.

They may have an opportunity, a launch at the buzzer.

No same tires with a 15 four run in the last 508 to take the lead 23 to 21 here and make him we are at the half and we've been standing by with coach Darden's coach he's in there and obviously has warmed up how do you feel the way off contain her and we see a change in the defense.

Well we did a good job first quarter.

Now we're not going to put it on floor getting around the merchandise just to get the player to give her those looks.

What other adjustments will we see coming out of the half?

Well, we got a couple of things we got to try to look at.

And so we're going to go in and talk about it, see what we do.

All right, Coach, good luck.

Thank you.

Back over to you, Gail.

I'd Raven Thank you.

And Herb, a quick time before we get it over to Mark and Claire.

Your thoughts quickly.

Well, a great comeback by same powers again, great teams.

You got to expect that Coach Durden, if he figured this be his position at the end of the half, he'd be happy.

Let's go now to Claire and Mark.

Claire and Mark.

It's all yours, all right.

It was almost all large a second ago or so, but what a tale of two different quarters.

Was all Buford in the first quarter.

All the same bias in the same quarter.

We got a great game to talk about.

We do.

And the first half.

Wow.

Let's see what the second half is going to bring.

And coming up, Grace Olsen's going to let us know what you guys are saying about this crazy game coming up.

Plus, we'll have some first half highlights on this program.

The heart of Georgia.

Welcome back to the Macon Coliseum.

Welcome back to the G8.

That's a boys and girls championships.

Welcome back to GPB, live across the great state of Georgia.

The first 16 minutes were absolutely fantastic.

I can't wait for the next 16 minutes of this one.

This has been just a crazy game.

The fans have really been into it.

And right now, St Pius leads Buford 23 to 21 after trailing by 12 at one point.

This has been just an incredible game and it's something that our Twitter page has been blowing up about.

Let's check in with Grizzlies Tech with a look at what people are saying right now.

We have a lot of Asian door fans.

I have to say, on Twitter, they were a little concerned there at the beginning.

Start off a little shaky.

But it hey, it's a state title game.

There's going to be jitters.

So they were concerned, but they were they're glad that she's starting to make some shots.

A lot of Asian dirt talk on Twitter now.

I also went over and talked to the Buford and Student section.

They have a Hawaiian theme going to their students.

They have a Where's Waldo costume.

They showed me they're going to be supposedly making their way around the arena using the hashtag Where's Waldo?

And they want us to find them as they make their way around the arena.

And apparently they're going to be going to the Buford, to the Saint Pius student section at some point.

So we'll be following their trail for you.

So we're going to have to see what they do in the second half.

It's going to be very, very interesting.

Oh, wait a minute.

That's it for a chance of a lifetime.

We'll see you next time.

I GHC State Basketball Championship weekend only on GPB.

Back here at make in the Coliseum, a two point lead for Saint Pius.

As we get ready to head to the second half of the girls three eight championship here in Georgia.

I'm Jill.

He is Herb and Herb let's talk about this the first half it started out all Buford but then as you do or as Mark had drifted the first half and she started going on.

But, you know, this is a game of momentums.

We're going to take a look at some of the highlights right now.

Let's take a look at how it was Camille Anderson going on the drive and Camille again from the corner with this jumper.

And we say Dirk's taking the long three and knocking it down and follow her own shot and score and.

HORROCKS Excuse me.

And here's to her.

Now, none of these were in the first quarter because Saint Fires only scored one basket in the first quarter right at the end.

But you're had 12 in the second quarter herself and that's the kind of player she is now Buford just got to maintain their composure.

They're right there with him.

It doesn't matter how you got there, whether you had a big lead in Lost.

What counts now is the score is basically about even.

So just continue to play your game.

Now will Buford and go into some kind of a jump defense and try to cool down as you do.

That's what we're going to see on the other end.

You just saw the stats by good friends at Farm Bureau in Georgia.

You saw, well, why we are where we are right now, Anderson.

Illegal screening.

There was a little eagle screen and it looks like they got looks like they got staples on the legal screen.

And that's her third minus offense is here.

They got Rodriguez.

It is going to be it's not for the boxer diamond and one everybody in the zone except Camille Anderson, who looks like it's going to go one on one with dour Carter over top of Forbes, 25 to 21.

Jasmine Carter, despite that jam Fingers is playing outstanding here today.

And she's going to the University of Georgia and a good buddy, Andy Landers at Staples.

And they may have gotten here four steps.

Glad to have you with us here in Macon.

We are early in the third quarter.

Joe Tyree, Herb White, broadcast crew head by the producer Steve Graham and company commander.

Now what I'm saying you'll watch everybody on Buford is playing zone except Camille Anderson.

Zero is following as you do it wherever she goes on the court.

And that's why you do it so you can man to man hot player and nice block by Anderson there there is a temp as Herb alluded to slot it away by Anderson right saying PIs regains possession Carter rises up in the miss and it'll go out of bounds and it will be Buford basketball first you want to add more?

Well just it does open some things in the middle of the court, though, sometimes against that box of diamond.

So mix the same times, maybe take advantage of it.

There as not working against Gore.

And that's a straight up mad man.

Anderson, The entry to HORWITZ, she's double teams goes back out top to Hall who goes back to the Hawks who misses the rebound controlled by as we go the other way Do it to Rodriguez to Carter launches a corner off the arms to stall and Buford with the rebound as we go the other way.

Nice lead pass from Osma down the hall.

She stumbles, falls down, gives it out the Hawks at the three point area, and they back it out some more to Osma 2521 Saint passed by four on the wing right down is down by as was able to shake her defender but it will drop for the rebound taken down by the Golden lions.

That's Carter nice move over the top as hawks and we have a whistle.

They're getting very aggressive as they go to the hole and they're attacking her St Pius right now.

Well they like to play a fast paced tempo, there's no doubt about it.

Here's sparks over the back and that's Hawks first.

But this same pass wants to play at that pace.

They're good, really good athletes that are good in the open floor.

And Buford wants to control the pace and they are having a tough time down the other end right now, getting good looks at the basket.

Same pass, doing a good job defensively.

Jasmine Carter, the Miss.

And as we told you, she's headed to the University of Georgia.

Folks happy about that lady playing for the great Andy Landers.

The second opportunity is good.

That'll make it 26 to 21 541 here in the third, Anderson out of the wing, the body up by Carter, they go inside the Hawks, the spin around off the double team no good The rebound is controlled by Carter.

They have numbers with her on the wing.

She pulls up and it's automatic, 28 to 21 now.

And that is Saint Pius, his biggest lead as it runs to seven who closer soon enough for a moment now tried to get a steal against Asia dour and probably not the smartest thing watch right here went for the steal Osmond dead left door open only two bonuses on the line but we'll take it Anderson came out there a little bit too late.

You see his lungs and jaw had already had her knees set and ready to knock it down in the high five jump.

But everybody's all American.

And St Pius continues that toward run.

The run started with 247 left in the first half.

It's now 13.

Oh and Nancy Gifford's having a tough time as Parks is not real strong in there and she's getting bumped around a little bit when she makes takes her shot and she's not knocking them down.

Camille Anderson's going to have to start asserting herself and put some points on the board for Buford.

Raven, what do you got for us guys?

I was just behind the Buford benching.

Coach was saying we have to attack the basket.

We have to get to the rim.

And he actually just said, Don't pull up on that jumper.

And they just did it.

So I'm sure they're about to give a shoot out for that.

Back over to you again.

And that was Camille Anderson who pulled up and revealed a chance of airball.

Airball?

You get a shot of coach, dirty little concern.

Right now there's trailing 28 to 21.

That's Carter the pull up and rises up in and out.

The rebound is controlled by Buford as we go the other way.

Buford has missed their last seven shots.

Ozment at the controls right now, working against third over on the left side.

And the ball is stolen away by Carter.

She's ahead of the pack and she drives ball stolen away by Anderson and Buford with numbers the other way.

Anderson setting up for three in the corner and knocking it down is Osman nice job by Anderson not to force the shot found Osman open and they need that 128 to 20 4 to 3 He goes down and that was big seducer there for ten in the third.

A lively crowd here in Macon on the cut is Durr and she is bodied by Anderson, who came over a little too late.

So Durr will go to the line.

That is Anderson first.

So you heard.

All right, let's see Camille Anderson right here steps back in and you talked about taking it the length of the floor.

Yeah, absolutely.

The length of the floor, but doesn't force it passes to Osman for them.

Good look.

And that's where we are right now, say pies by four as the demand for power grows.

Georgia's nonprofit member owned electric cooperatives are committed to providing safe, affordable and reliable electricity to our members.

We've been dedicated to building strong communities for more than 70 years and are proud to join the Georgia High School Association and Georgia Public Broadcasting in support of our state student athletes.

We are doing the same.

I know why being back here in Macon and of course, on GPB.

It is your home for so many great programs and Georgia outdoors as they go around the great state of Georgia.

Watch Georgia outdoors from inside your living room.

You're going to cozy up with the bats and frogs with the beach and sea turtles and kayak down.

The great rivers.

Get wild with Sharon Collins and make sure you watch Georgia outdoors.

Great job.

Stunning show.

Very stunning.

And what I just did her life was very stunning to have.

It's one of those moments you wish the camera was high.

Most definitely.

It would have been trended big time on the social networks.

Only the commander knows what I'm dealing with.

You need it.

It would have been a YouTube sensation, not the most organized file of papers I've ever seen on a desk before.

You.

Anyway, we're back in action.

And you're at the line, Anderson, playing again in that box and one and she went up and you just don't need the foul Do her on that.

It was a tough shot.

It's kind of a little fadeaway jumper.

The stops keep a hand up on it because she's pretty automatic from the line except when I mention it back to Raven Corrado Raven we've got some more thoughts.

Yes, sir.

I was over here on the same palace bench, and I would say you saw Coach Snipes get a bit animated with the officiating.

He went over to talk.

The rest came back to the bench, talking to his girls once again, saying it is what it is, but the one thing that they can do, he said, drive to the basket, force your bodies under there so they have to foul you because they're going to call it only then back over to you again.

Thank you both.

Caitlin Dawkins and Camille Anderson struggling with the basketball and the tie up.

And Anderson will leave the game for Buford and Coker will come in to replace her concern.

Just calm her down for a minute.

She won't be out long.

She's just out of the running thing right now is Okafor.

They still get around it.

Jasmine Carter Strong got there on the come in and launching a three and knocking it down It was Maya Allen that's big 32 to 24 the lead at eight they'll say pass.

Another missed opportunity for Buford Ferb There you go That's sometimes tough to play that jump defense cause people don't know exactly what their responsibilities are.

BUFORD Right now, four turnovers in this quarter and that's three costly.

And their bench starts to empty, right?

Empty right now as they get some reserves in this game, we have a whistle and we have an illegal screen from the culprit it looked like was Adrianna Davis concealing core third ceiling.

Coker has drawn the unenviable task of trying to shadow, as you do all of that, she's going to take a seat now.

It's Camille Anderson and a couple others come back in.

Camille Anderson has won.

Corey Staples is another entering the ball game for Coach Burton's team as he trails 32 to 24 with 253 more support in the third quarter.

A couple of the two and a half minutes here, Griffin needs to cut a couple of buckets off of this lead here going into the fourth through the three point numbers on your screen right now.

And same passes being able to benefit from it.

Coach Durden working the officials looking for a foul on that drive field opportunity in the half court set foot the ball was out of sync five so beats were able to regain control.

That's Anderson up top right now is called the Hawks.

Deep outside is Anderson who's working against Jasmine Carter tries to get by almost kicks it comes Anderson and kicks it right to Dawkins Same pass is very quick and athletic on the man to man.

There's another big basket made three Camille Anderson by Camille Anderson.

She has ten first player for Buford to get into and triggers Hawks with the rebound got stolen by by Carter and she and Carter got tied up the Hawks got the steal and then they called the foul on the same time.

They got lucky there.

Another like she might have stolen it right back.

Good hands.

That was Carter's coach tonight.

Surely thought so.

Let's take a look at that last three by Camille Anderson.

Nice follow through, huh?

The Thunder got over there late, but she was set for passes, scrambling Now they're really turning the heat up defensively.

They have great athletes and their distribution problems.

They lead by five same pace.

It comes down and the turnover.

Anderson just failed to connect with one of her teammates.

That's an 11 exactly one turnovers for Buford.

You're right.

There was a pressure but size calls and Roberts slowly bringing it up close the double ways is Carter on the wing right now Is Okafor he tucked in that zone They get it into Durr who initiates contact and it looks like they spot Davis.

Certainly Coco Silk caught her.

I'm sorry.

That's her second.

That's Coker.

She's still the man to man on boy it's taken Anderson off.

I would give you a risk offensively there from the corner with a three ball.

Well prices heated up in the second half of the three.

That's my challenge.

She did it on one side.

She just just did it on the other 35 to 27 to lead it.

8% prized possession here.

It's a beautiful ice Anderson against Coach Wooden by Staples to try to go inside the Hawks and Hawks got the ball back after the missed connection and, Bamba stumbles as she goes down with a wild shot of a minute to go, 44 seconds to be exact, until the end of the third.

That's Carter by same five back and out and play for Warner.

Look for a really good shot off a set here in the game for Saint Pius right now Sally Varner go one on one launches it off the iron too hard over the back and we got it look like Okafor over the back Well that would have been a big three same pass would have taken it into double digits and you don't like to look up in the fourth quarter going into the fourth quarter being down double digit.

So big free throws here for Buford and take possession of Susan and for the junior Okafor.

That's her second 11 seconds to go.

They're going to get it across eight assignments wooden box splits, two defenders and it should have been a walk that Eurostep slicing in between both Allen and Okafor not done but they try to keep them in Anderson nice inbounds from up to Anderson at the buzzer and they beat the clock That's a big bucket here for their nice job on their inbounds and say fires defense broke down a little bit but same prize continuing the hot shooting in that third quarter.

You don't make the score 35 to 29.

The pictures from Macon as we go to the fourth quarter for the girls, triple A championship here in Georgia.

Scored 3529 Gil Tyree along with Herbalife as we start the fourth quarter right now you know Buford led 21 to 15 and then same pass went on a 28 run with 247 left in the first half.

Grace Olsen I want to ask you what's trending or trending on Twitter right now?

We've got a lot of Asia dirt talk.

I'm not going to lie.

I mean, I've been saying it, but it's all about Asia dirt.

Well, you know, I want to ask I want to throw this out there to our many platforms right now.

What nicknames do they like better?

Do they like Asia?

The amazing or they really like Mark Harmon's terrific.

What sounds better manage to get in competition right there?

Oh, no.

In Asia on the court.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to have to go to Asia.

The amazing Asia.

The amazing.

Well, let's let's hashtag that.

What do you like?

I'm going with Asia.

The amazing.

But, you know, we talked before the game.

One of the keys was for saint pies to create turnovers and score off of them in the fourth quarter.

Buford only turned it over once.

That was part of the reason they had the lead on pass.

But since they had ten turnovers and same passes, scored on quite a few of them.

So that's part of the reason for the turnaround.

We've still got a heck of a ballgame here.

We start the fourth, a six point lead and George, I say Pies and Buford just got the steal off the inbounds and taking a three was down by and they backed it up two eyes minutes they head in the horn guarded by double over Gordon back they find Anderson down low or fortunate at Staples it she fumbled with it but she was able to put it up and in Nice job yeah yeah screen down the low block on that play Curry staples her first basket of the afternoon That's Fournier lining up in the miss and the rebound taken down by Osman Well is going to slow it down try to get a good look George and get the high pick Anderson fakes the three backs out spreading it out now as you down by seconds do 644 In the fourth period you come back and initiates the offense.

Stroke is on the floor.

They go down.

Little Hawks working against DAVIES and the Miss Ball control bars went to the lane.

No good staples with the rebound goes up with it and that aggressive play in the half court by Buford Yeah they came up with the loose ball and came up with the offensive rebound They know what their situation is they've got to get this score back to even That's the fourth on Davis here.

You see, I'm not going in no good Stanley with the nice offensive board goes up and the crowd is the most by by staples and the chance is airball Okafor enters the game and Davis will sit by Coach Nice 35 to 31 second opportunity is good.

I don't make it a 35 to 32 game at the 626 mark Staples 11 points a game and she needs to continue to play well for this Houston team to come back.

She has been overrun up until that point.

Really, she hasn't been much of a factor this fall.

And season number four, Football Fridays in Georgia, we bring you bigger and better high school football games around the state.

Into your living room.

Join our sports team every Friday night, celebrate these athletes and their schools on the road to the Dome Football Fridays in Georgia.

And we all access past three exciting hours of live high school football kicks off this fall on g, b b fourth quarter field goal numbers right now, Buford, one of three same players, oh for one football Friday's here, have a staple here in Georgia, no doubt about it.

You always still get compliments.

People stop me and say what a great job we do.

And I'm not working at GPB anymore.

It's always good to hear the great work the folks are still doing over there and got us a 1.1 possession game here.

Gil This is where great players can really assert themselves.

So Duke is going to have to really, really concentrate on age.

You do get a shot of Coach Sturdy, his team right now trailing by three, and he coached 30 state championships in oh nine, ten and 11.

A very impressive resume right now.

Full court pressure now by the wolves is also on the way by Arsenal stolen back away by girl gets by staples in the lane hangs no gets her on the rebound backs it out to Carter Yeah you talk about coach 36 great you know impressive resume I mean the guy just was able to get talent and molded in there always here making Macon who always looks like Anderson to be back playing man to man on dual ball doesn't know it's still a see no yeah they've gone back to the straight 131 now getting tied up on the baseline and a turnover you have to wait to see if Wendell goes through if player goes with it.

But Anderson stayed put so it looks like they've gone back to the straight one, three, one.

Hannah Jones got tied up.

That's the third turnover for Saint Pius in this quarter with possession Dom bar harassed and the ball is stolen by Saint Pius in the hands of third serve shakes hands, puts it up and we have a whistle that is Staples her fourth and the fouls are starting to mount her for Buford Yep that's him there you see during the lane but a great player moment go by Okafor steal that pass it really meant for heart down low stepped in there anticipated that and made the big play there again will have an opportunity to increase it She made the first and she will make the second there now with 15 the lady wolves trying to get into their half court and the offense the bounce pass over to Anderson on the wing for staples they go inside the big center back to Staples on a two man game and she lays it up and in nice job by the five staples coming down the middle and going to get a kick was a big basket for beautiful dancer the two free throws by doing awesome pressure keep it a one possession game There you go CHEERING triggering the inbounds will be Hannah Jones Decatur and the short court.

Now as they were working against Anderson they try to double team Oh she has the presence of mind to see it get it back to Carter on the wing now what's that one That's Carter driving shot to stall in the rebound controlled by Hawks.

That's Anderson so Buford baseline that is short jumper Hawks with the rebound lays it up and in a little do you call it an alley oop comes up but a follow we never got in the alley with it but we got the Hawks and we got to we got the points 37 to 36.

Buford within one to double team.

The ball knocked out of bounds.

But we have a whistle there too.

Ball out of bounds off of Buford.

So Saint Pius regains control.

They try to double up Carter.

She sees Dirk pulls up foul line extended no good gets her own rebound off hand up and no good And she'll go to the line at their switch right hand in the lane Pretty slick there Couldn't get it to drop couldn't come up with the offensive defensive rebound.

They had three people out above the foul line in that zone.

And at that time, that's the second foul on Dame Bob.

Ah, you see all the Buford wolves out high.

But I didn't get the rebound, was able to get it back up.

And so the ability to initiate contact and dumbasses bottoms able to get on the hands and the free throws make it three point lead Okafor out of the games here Brian Strong touches inside same pass down box faces takes the three tries to drive but the ball is stolen away by Maya Allen and now it's in the hands of Carter She reads the double team those stick they're working against hard splits and initiates contact gets hard Clarkson literally warns not all the ball but the officials say otherwise.

I believe that was a nice block there by Hart.

Just take a look.

Look she got it low at the body and saw ball there Durr eight of ten from the free throw line We'll have an opportunity to make another one and she does substance abuse again you know 911 from the charity stripe 20 points in the afternoon 20 points and five rebounds you see the numbers flashed up on your screen.

Oregon State passed a five point lead at 41 to 36.

Actually, they had done a pretty good job under today.

And she's getting close to average but she's had to take a lot of shots and a lot of those have been free throws like these.

It just hasn't been able to keep pace offensively.

Let's see what they can come up with this last 3 minutes and just think how close she and really started to warm up late in the first half and it's hard to carry over right now.

She still plays tough defense whether she scored or not as good as.

The great ones always do her to tie up.

And it looks like, you know, if they get those that look like I was down, Parker got frustrated.

That's her third try to throw her now kind of had it Jones will depart and DAVIES will come back in.

She is in foul trouble You see the Hulk right there.

And Coach Gordon you know the officials, an earful as they come by his bench.

He was still upset with that call on Hawks down at the other end.

But got to put that behind you Right now.

It's still anybody's ballgame.

And it's 253 left in.

This fourth and final period.

Herb, we got three more games to go.

No one, huh?

Yeah, we do.

Looking forward to all of them.

Jon Nelson and Sean Goldman standing by for our next game.

Before we bring you the boys, Triple H, and then we have the girls six a lady in an archer.

You and I will be back for that.

And then Jon and and Shawn will close out what has been an outstanding three days here in Macon with tip County.

And we've had some really competitive games this weekend.

And looking forward to seeing McEachern.

Well, they look great on paper right?

You know try to connect with JJ Hickson, who played at Wheeling and now is playing with the Denver Nuggets tonight.

Get him up on Twitter and that's it.

Log on and watch us on the Web tonight if you you're playing WW dot GP board we have many platforms and you know he's part of those great teams and wheelers of course Georgia players scattered all over the NBA NBA teams and when you see the NCAA championships and March Madness come up in the next couple of weeks to go see all a lot of teams loaded with Georgia talent all over playing in the tournament.

So it's a testimonial to to the to the legends as to what do you call those, the fat heads, interesting shot of the players and what have you, those new.

I thought that was a fantastic grace for a minute and I'll tell you what, Grace has their own fan club, but what is it those people like the Greater Atlanta Christian, They love it.

I've never heard people's name get in it.

When I heard Grace's name.

Grace.

Grace almost.

She still lives and works as a lady.

Rose Apply that pressure to quicken the pace here and force for same and some tournament turnovers right now.

Fourth quarter numbers field goal percentages.

Buford three of seven Same class 0451 problem with the pressure is Lisa Durham work the open court but they do get to steal you got to convert that same class one of the out of their last nine courtesy of US statistician Kevin Barnes at D three by Anderson goes off they are no good hard look the rebound lays it up and in and Buford pulls within three and walks with 11 Anderson with the bump Oh they got Anderson on the foul That will be number two for Camille Anderson That's 19 fouls still be the one and one the reaction of Coach Durden and that will send Jasmine Carter to the line.

I first opportunity by the UGA commit the signee is good and she'll get another opportunity 42 to 38 same passes lead now at four oh looks to be afraid to go to J Camille Anderson a Hawks or maybe Staley with the burst staggers with a two man game.

It all works again.

It works well a couple times in the lead now at five Smith working in good school high as hawks to staples that's Osment the head fake Anderson and the ball stolen away by Durr and Anderson is caught on the reach that will be number three for Camille Anderson Great hands and anticipation by Asia.

Do her there a good pass by, Anderson?

No, she got pressured and had to get rid of it and girl was way but ready, closing in on 2 minutes left in this basketball game for the three day championship here in Georgia.

The girls first opportunity for birds good 44 to 38.

Now you 11 of 13 from the charity stripe.

She now has 22.

The second one is up and in we just think she has one more year to go and she's on everybody's wanted list you name it, they want it.

But you can see why.

So Buford will inbounds trailing by seven and Coach Dirty was called a time out.

Coach Snipes rather animated over there for some reason assistant coaches oh man down a little bit saying pass on a seven to run her over the last minute 39 trying to see what say Snipes she's having a talk with the officials about he's not happy but walks away a smile.

So I guess everybody's happy now for Buford saying they've got to come down and they don't need to go to the three.

They just need to get a bucket, try to get it within a ten or 15 seconds, run down here and then sit back and play some defense again.

They're going to be pressuring safeties all over the floor.

And the problem with that is if you do that, it opens up things for you to do this all its season number four, Football Fridays here in Georgia, we bring you bigger and better.

A high school football from around the state in your living room.

Join our sports team every Friday night to celebrate these athletes and schools on the road to the dome.

Football Fridays in Georgia, an all access pass, 3 hours of exciting live high school football kick offs this fall exclusively on GTV Trey McDaniel and Company always Getting it done.

John Nelson, Mark Harmon, Claire Sims, The Whole Gang, Keelan Johnson 45 to 38.

Did it.

Look at Coach Snipes and he was very entertaining.

He talked to him on the phone.

Yes, he was right for the Cowboys, he and Coach Durden and as well.

We're going to have to talk pressure by saying PI's not a bad idea.

Try to make Buford run clock so they can get a good shot off.

We'll come up with the steal.

And as the rays in Toronto said earlier, Coach nice lovely was expecting his team to rally leading by seven Anderson talks try to rub the defender off a pitch and Anderson saw it able to get around it in the lane up and in it's now five point lead and they got a turnover So we got the double phone calls, the walking call.

And Anderson, very determined then coming off the pick some halves at the high end just hitting three players into the lane and scoring.

So but the thing about Anderson, she can do anything at will.

She's so strong that she's going from one back to another from.

The different rules to the NC State Wolfpack in and now the huge possession abuse in right here they got a good and hitting the road staples to pull up around it in 45 to 42 and get a danger to do and that's exactly what they do to bring the double team over to try to harass her.

She gets it out the Carter quarter around and then some of that class young chasing it was Wambach in the corner is Jones okorafor up and in Hannah Jones with a nice recognition to find Okafor and they needed that one 4742 approaching the one minute mark in this one Okafor with four and none bigger than that one Anderson against Carter Carter slaps it away They both go after it Bodies on the floor right in front of us going to get Carter for the foul and they get Carter for the foul but push and that's her second that's only 16 fouls St Pius use it inbound the ball and they're going to get in and score pretty quickly now Osborne working across the time line 49 seconds to go the crowd rising to its feet here and making Osman around over Jordan no good rebound fought for off Carter into the hands of Beal for 12 back up No she got five and a foul pull it My goodness Got action down there boy that shot came out there I thought it was going down for Buford.

Let's see the whole sequence.

Here you go.

They got Allen on the foul.

Look at this.

The basket?

Yes.

Didn't get it to go down.

Almost went out of bounds.

Stand back.

Smallest player trying to get one up on the move and misses the free throw first attempt.

DAVIES will come in the game with four fouls, if I'm not mistaken.

Kevin Barnes, She comes in for Saint Pius and Okafor sits down the free throw made by Wambach and that makes it 47 to 43.

Jones ahead to door door tries to split the defender stolen away at Staples drives around no good order falls for the ball and two defenders from Hughes right along with Carter on the floor and the ball third well there's a lot of physical contact down there They got Buford for the foul so hopefully we'll get another chance to Asia dour trying to do a little too much with the dribble hand here's just a short time to just not try that between the legs play looks like there's a little contact now not much there but yep I can tell that was on third down.

Bogdan Certainly a foul on Buford and they're making their free throws.

You're right.

In the fourth quarter, Steve Graham, cut it.

We'll have a chance to add on to that.

And just like that, there's a jinx.

All right.

You know, the Buford girls are playing now, but the boys will play in the championship game right after this.

Coach Snipes animated kilt on neither.

He the coach happy with the official.

That means they must be doing a good job.

Nicole Rodriguez getting off the bench about ready to come in this game.

Some say fired.

Both of them were missed on the free throws.

That's Osman Anderson on the wing.

They dump it down to the center hawks and she gets the short jumper to go 47 to 45 with 14 ticks to go third.

We're not done No we're not done.

Got a foul right away here put somebody on the line.

Try to figure out who you'd really like to see.

Go to the line.

And if they come near the ball, foul them.

I get it in.

NASIR doing his hands as fast as I could, I'll tell you that.

Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out, because he's on money all day and all night.

Another great basketball game on GPB.

Yes, sir.

Oh, we've had some close wins this year, and we thank all of you who are watching around the great state of Georgia.

You know, it's so good to be back home.

It really is.

I love this state to the core of who I am.

What is getting a great crowd in here for the next ball game.

I guess it's Atlanta last night for Warner Robins.

It's great to see them making policy and new rockets all the part of the evening triple header.

We'll have the three boys and then these six girls and then the six boys.

As we wrap it up for you and make it make it always does it.

Jake, Nice job.

I mean, I. I can tell you, I was talking to Ricky today, and of course, Ricky, one of our key talents at GPB, and she was talking the fact that a lot of people were talking online on Twitter about losing it don't make it.

But I'm one of those.

This this has become a staple here.

And some friends of mine I play golf with, some people didn't make it.

They're in their late sixties.

They play down here.

They make it in the tournament.

You know, it's it's a great tradition.

And centrally located.

You see the bench scoring.

Look at that same prize.

You know, I was talking to Dwight Howard and he told me, he said, Gil, I always love to come and make him.

He was on a soccer team that came down.

And congratulations to the second team winning today.

I thought we might have to turn a little bit and have touched it.

What do you do there?

Being found?

Yeah, you got a foul.

You got a foul right away.

And like you said, they're going to be looking for 25 right now.

Right now they got about five six run off the clock.

Yeah.

You, you know, you might have come up with a steal with a double team, but I would have fouled right away.

You're like 5 seconds.

Get off that clock.

Anderson and Staples were over there and Carter was able to split both of them and still go to the line.

And these free throws are going to be huge.

And I think that is it for Staples.

And it is four fouls out of this basketball game and will be replaced Chandler Hall glitter Right now one free throw is huge because it makes sure that even if they hit a three, you're going over time.

And she makes both of them almost impossible for pass in order for this year's first when it's good to make it 48 to 45 still a one possession game so record.

Yep very tough and looking stroke by Carter there again committed to the University of Georgia.

The second one is no good 48 to 45 No timeout by buzzer.

They're going to come down to play Throw it.

They go hard.

She lays it up too strong and save pass with a rebound and a foul immediately.

Oh surprise didn't back it back out for the three their two pointer was not going to do him any good.

And Maya Maya Allen was fouled by Tara Dom back and Dom by here we see us as fouled ahead But even if Hart scores there and she doesn't get fouled, the game's over.

So the region there, Hart should have pulled that ball down and looked out, found somebody for a34, you know, But easy for me to say sitting over here 0.2 on the clock and these free throws.

Now you see how badly these kids want to win.

Coach Durden, his arm around the emotion.

Who is that emotional player?

Sheryl.

But she had she's a she is a player.

And the Buford community should be very proud of her.

She was an outstanding defender.

Very gritty.

Yeah.

Oh, Buford to that big lead early on, you got to admire her.

She just gives it everything she's got on every play.

Same pies that a 12 oh deficit to start this game.

They were in a 12 hole hole.

The lead got to 15 to 1.

They were down by as many as 14 and came back.

And that is it.

They win by three.

Well, nice job by Saint Pius.

A terrible opening quarter.

Couldn't get any scoring done at all.

And then just eight away and eight away and finally came away with the victory Asia door right on her average of about 24 points.

I believe she finished with 23 one below that her.

But you were right, the money, she was right there.

But you know there were a lot of people who contributed.

OKAFOR Yes, indeed.

ALLEN Hit some big, big baskets.

Jasmine Carter Yeah.

Jasmine Carter You know Hannah Jo Everybody played.

Hannah DAVIES Did.

Nicole Rodriguez.

Hannah Jones All did a great job for Coach Snipes and a great effort and a losing cause for Buford.

Yes, great job by Parks inside and oh, you look at Buford.

I mean, Anderson, he played well.

The Hawks, Ozment, they have nothing to be ashamed of.

Nothing at all.

48 to 45.

Saint Pius, the state three, a girls champion.
