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

He's coming in, hits a helicopter, slammed Tam, pull up from three to watch.

This guy goes wheel drive and backs it in and gets it the next to last final game of championship weekend as we welcome you inside the coliseum.

All a part of the making center flex here in middle Georgia will be the girls six eight state title on the line.

So my teacher in lady Indians a 27 and two from region 416 and on region and the newbies the Archer Tigers a five year program commencing for the opportunity to get to the ultimate stage the state championship.

Good evening and welcome to TV's live and exclusive coverage of the state basketball championships.

I'm Jill.

He's here and we got a great basketball game again here tonight are really looking for one.

Yeah this archers bus is broken down but they're supposed to be here so they're going to hang in there the rest of their fans get here.

And that's what the key is to tonight's ball game one time.

We'll get to that in a minute.

But this McEachern bunch, I'm gonna tell you, they're very, very talented.

All right, let's take a look at the folk basketball team.

First off, we'll start out with McEachern.

And they're stars here tonight.

Yeah, I'm one of those talented people.

Is Taya Cooper.

She averages 20 points a game.

She scored double figures every game this year.

But one.

And she's going to be a Tar Heel.

She's committed to the University of North Carolina, and I'm sure Diamond DeShields will be watching her future teammate in tweeting from Chapel Hill.

If she's not involved in a basketball game or not getting ready and playing in the ACC tournament up in Greensboro.

But on the other side, we take a look at the Archer Tigers.

Yeah, we've got one of the big sisters got a lot of sisters in the tournament this year.

Autumn Newbie is a62 frosh.

She's a younger sister, but she's averaging 12 and a half points a game and nine rebounds as a freshman.

So a bright future ahead for that young lady.

She's going to join Michelle Joseph and what Michelle has going on at Georgia Tech.

But, you know, and also another former star of Georgia high school basketball and Kayla Davis.

Let's take a look at the Archer starters here tonight brought to you by Rich.

In fact, if you look at Alisha Mann, the aforementioned newbie sisters and schedule and Chichi Marseilles and former teacher and Taya Cooper, Jada Lewis, Kayla Robinson, more in her story as this game develops here tonight.

An interesting and a very touching story involving Carla.

And then you see Taylor Gordon and Michelle Williams, the keys for McEachern here tonight brought to you by T.C.

as Learn more, earn more Herbalife unlocking for McEachern wants to take advantage of all that talent and athletic ability.

So they want to keep the fast paced tempo going and they also want to create and score off their turnovers.

And for the Archer Tigers, well, they've got to start out with good defense This McEachern team is averaging 25 points a game to open.

Every game they play in the show.

Really get off to a good start.

This McEachern arch has got to play good defense early and limit their turnovers.

Don't let this thing get away from them in the first quarter and pre game festivities continue underway here.

You see Ryan Lesniak, the head coach of the Archer Tigers.

What a pleasant coach.

We had a chance to talk to him funny as all get out but he's done an outstanding job to bring this program to where it is and a five year run certainly has.

And there is Phyllis Arthur.

When you look at Mount Rushmore of Georgia coaches, she's up there along with the likes of Angie Embry and also Jan Azar, and she gets it done wherever she goes.

She's built this program.

We talked about their resume and Mark and Claire talked about they've been here, done that.

We saw him a couple of years, Herm when they're with him at the Nets center, but in their way at that time, they were able to knock off Norcross and Diamond DeShields.

But Phyllis has them back and she's ready to rock and roll.

Well, she's, you know, they still have kids transferring in.

There's kids that want to come and play for her.

They know she's a great coach and they got a great chance to develop and go on to school somewhere and I'm telling you, this team has gotten some stats.

Talia Robinson had a game where she had 16 points, 15 rebounds and 17 blocks in one game.

So let's get this one underway and see what happened.

And we are a newbie and Robinson jump it up.

The tip is controlled by McGee standing out and jumping and knocking down a three right off the bat.

Instead, Hooper has had it to the University of North Carolina.

McEachern employs that trap back court and we have a back court violation immediately.

The Lady Indians like to push it and full throttle kicks you on or at Unravel.

Here you see two openings sound low and it's scored by the lady from Archer three nothing early on another three in law two and missing was Taylor Gordon.

The rebound control by Archer and that's Madison moving straight to the rack and the contact and the whistle referee's here tonight Darryl Lane Chris Farr has and Dan Mulkey, an outstanding crew from the Georgia High School Association.

Oh, the foul is on Lewis her first and that will send Madison newbie to the line and Madison newbie the heart and soul of this archer team.

Coach Lesniak tells us the first one is up and it you're right I mean you look at Madison newbie so many categories she's been able to achieve the most points high scoring average most games in double figures she does it all very impressive result three one for the six day state title for girls here in Georgia.

And I think Archer let's see what they're playing look like they may have some type of jump defense going on Taylor Gordon off glass little bit explains the rebound and head to her sister and we have a whistle and then Addison drives around and Gordon is spotted for a foul for McEachern, their first and Alisha man will trigger it in sideline right straight up man to man by McEachern gets it in a movie.

They try to rub off Cooper on a screen and Cooper ties her up.

Newby and the alternate possession will be retained by Archer.

There you see McEachern They'll try to double team at every opportunity.

You turn your back on them with the dribble, they'll come and double team like to create those turnovers.

Maybe Williamson goes to her sister, puts it on the floor, off the bounce.

He throws it over McEachern with numbers drive in the lane and laying off glass it up and in and that starts Hooper passes five one McEachern out in front, Newby straight up the sideline and she's fouled by Williams Well we talked about McEachern quick start skill and they've gotten off to one here got it off the turnover they're going to score if they turn you over so you just can't turn it over.

You see?

Cooper right there, the up and under, right off in your living room and being able to convert the basket.

The miss by Newby, the rebound taken down by Taylor Gordon stops at the free throw line.

They work the ball around That's Lewis step back Airball opportunity by Taylor Gordon It goes out of bounds and the ball will go over to Archer 611 here in the opening quarter here in Macon Spin it out standing championship weekend you get a look at Silas Arthur is so glad you can join us here on the great JP nobody around a wild shudder Sister cleans it up and gets the stick back It's five three now.

Taylor Cooper straight up man to man from Archer launching one from the corner.

And missing was Kalia Robinson.

The rebound taken down by Newby pushes it full throttle.

She's got to stop and Crawford three down there spot ties the game up at five 524 here in the opening period on the wings as Gordon a shot is rejected and the ball control by Stewart to Newby Newby down low turnover numbers and the foul Cooper had the open floor but coming over the stopper was Alisha man now the turnover leading to another McEachern free throw.

The princess just can't turn it over with Archer's got to do is stay in it this first quarter again McEachern Miss blown so many people out getting so many points in the first quarter.

They're beating people by an average of 37 points a game.

So you have to withstand the early storm, be ready for their pressure, don't turn the ball over and help them out any more that they're going to score already off their offense.

Don't give them the turnovers and help them score the first opportunity.

But Cooper is good.

She's been training, in fact, with her dad, Omar, and they work out just about every single day in the gym because, like we said, she's headed to the University of North Carolina.

The ball is out of bounds and Berkshire will retain possession.

And her, if you're right.

I mean, if you look at what McEachern has been able to do, I mean, an undefeated, you know, in terms of where they are in the region and their overall record at 2082.

Yeah, just the margin of victory.

That was just really impressive, though, to show you their dominance, which Luby is tied up the ball on the floor.

We have a scrum.

Newby was down there trying to get the rebound off Taylor Gordon down there in alternate possession.

It'll go over to McEachern.

You picked up the dribble out here against McEachern.

You better know where you're going with the pass because as soon as you hesitate they're going to double team in swarm you Ryan Lesniak looking out signals to his young ladies cheering alone three and making it fall is Jayda Louis 10 to 5 now MacEachern out in front for 28 three quarter caught zone for us no problems with it may advance it across the ten second line will be working against Cooper and Cooper spotted for the foul her first now that's a fourth team follow McEachern so that's one thing going in Archer's favor and bounding it right across from us as Alisha mann gets an end to Madison, moving one of the two moving systems.

That's the other one.

Autumn That's a nice block.

There was a block and that needs numbers off to bust out and Cooper converts and immediately Ryan Lesniak has seen enough.

Have you talked about it?

That big run nine for Cooper early on and with the score McEachern 12 and Archer five 356 here in the first we're getting it on in this six day state girls championship in Macon.

We'll be right back and welcome back to the Macon Coliseum McEachern currently leading Archer 12 to 5 with 356 left in the first period.

Gail Thank you.

Grace.

I want to expand on what Grace talked about.

We want to hear from you.

Hashtag GPB Hoops Final.

And of course, McEachern right now, 707 nothing and seven points off.

Turnovers hurts and they enjoy that lead right now, 12 to 5. COOPER nine four.

McEachern To lead them along with Jada Lewis, who has three, and the Newby Sisters have three and two apiece.

They account for the five that Archers currently enjoy, but that'll make it seven, and that's another newbie, Madison, I'm telling you, adds to that ledger almost seven right now.

Archers.

I mean to Leah Robinson, who's blocked two or three already she is really quick out long arms and she had 17 and one game and I'm about to believe it she has to reject so far.

And we're going to expand on Talia Robinson as this game moves on.

I know I talked about it up top, but a wonderful story involving the Cooper families and the Robinson Madison newbies on the drive.

She has seven it's 12 to 9 right now.

Launching a three is Cooper and dropping it just like that to stop the bleeding It's 1415 to 9 right now.

The lead for McEachern is six moving to her sister out top guarded by Robinson, working around and taking the charge charge was Jada Lewis and the foul is on newbie the offensive foul You'll plow right in You see the basket right there.

That was a play before by Madison Newby and here's a three pointer and turnovers right now five that's the fifth turnover for Archie and the teachers had points out four of those turnovers.

Robinson baseline misses it and the rebound taken down by Archer they go the other way Orchard and white with red and black trim and McEachern in blue and getting down low and connecting on the basket for Archer because number 44 and Lindsey Martucci and Robinson right back to answer 18 to 11 and Archer throws it away turnover and now we talk about clear Robinson and her mother battled lupus and she has been dealing with that and was at 12 and then was able to see her turnovers right there 6 to 1.

But anyway, to expand on the Robinson story, her mother had lupus, had issues and then went over to McEachern, adopted by the Cooper family, and it's turned her life around and it's been really a welcome addition to the basketball team since all this out there in the corner again was Cooper Nice story here as my story and her mother watching this game tonight.

And we wish her our very best here at GPB Drive and the base line and and there to almost block it well the aforementioned Robinson well we talked about McEachern averaging 25 in the first quarter and they're going to approach that.

They've already got 21 and Parker's got to maintain a little closer margin.

This thing could get away from them touching on away at the lines.

That's the first The foul was on Gordon.

Her second problem is everybody on McEachern as a threat and not only Delia Robinson blocking shots inside she's out hitting threes perimeter that makes it pretty difficult.

And in our conversations with Coach Archer, she has a very deep bench and she's putting it to use right now steps called on Robinson the turnover and it goes over to Archer 105 to go in the opening period McGee churn by 821 the 13 want to give a shout out to a Big McEachern alum out there Ken Rodriguez over at Fox five Nobody loves the Indians more than Kay Rod and I know he's watching this game here tonight.

Newbie headman then the newbie now to Mark Kedzie for the easy basket, Lindsey MAHTESIAN, ninth grader gets in the scoring lecture to ninth graders.

They're yes, 21 to 15.

Nice interior passing by the young guys using that size to advantage ball out of bounds.

The turnover will go to Archer.

That's when the double team goes in to the post to newbie.

They're looking for Mike Casey down low now Newby driving forces up a shot and well the whistle looks like they got Cooper again and that's number two on Cooper Turf.

Yep.

And that's Madison Room.

He's a tough nut.

I'm going to tell you.

She's going to put her head down, take it to the rack.

And now Archer's done exactly what they needed.

Their last three possessions.

They've got either a good shot or a free throws, and they're getting back into this thing because listening, I talked about the newbies and their value to this basketball team.

Well, again, they said she's the heart and soul and you can see it in the fire.

She plays with most definitely.

And the thing about Archer and you talked about that they they call it a cluster.

They think they're able to draw from a cluster.

And Coach Lesniak, who you see right there, has done an outstanding job in assembling all of this talent and putting him in this position where they are tonight.

Yeah, that's a tough thing to do to bring people from various places and bring them all together and get them to play as one and have that sense of community anyhow, and they seem to have it.

Madison Newbie exits.

Cynthia Shorter, the freshman entering her 21 to 16 under 10 seconds to go before we put a close on this first quarter.

The missed shot by Cooper, an airball and the ball out of bounds with 3 seconds to go and nobody on the inbounds man Will Harrell won at the buzzer but it does not go so that's the end of one here in Macon with the score.

MacEachern 21 Archers 16.

We go to the second quarter after these very important messages on GPB and here in Macon we're about ready to start the second quarter.

McEachern The Lady Indians over the Lady Tigers have Archer by the count of 21 to 16, one of our signature programs on GPB Georgia Traveler.

This season, the Traveler crew takes you around to see it.

Getaways embarks on a few adrenaline adventures and of course dive into some of the best restaurants and the Peach State has to offer.

And that and much, much more.

Don't miss Georgia Traveler on the great Georgia Public Broadcasting.

Oh, there's Andy Landers.

And give me one guess who is here to to watch tonight?

Well, he's got a couple in the fold, but I guarantee he's always got his eye open for some more ride.

Well, he already has one.

And Jasmine Carter, who locked it up, how does he has her locked up?

And Andy, of course, they were eliminated.

The lady dogs eliminated at the SCC tournament and over at the Gwinnett Center yesterday and another block.

McAleer, Robinson.

But Newby was there to put it up.

And in 21, 18 drive in the lane putting it hard off the glass for McEachern and the miss and man so Archer tries to convert the rebound taken down by Robinson and to Cooper to Cooper launches a bomb no good She gives it to Robinson who's going to launch a three no good.

The rebound taken down by maybe to the other movie to man on the baseline man scoops it up but a whistle and a hack.

It look like they got Robinson on the call with a nice head fake.

Get Robinson off her feet.

They're called.

That's Kaleigh Robinson.

That's her first Alisha man at the line as to why Robinson committed to going to school anyway, she's just a junior, right?

I don't see anything about it.

And I would imagine and he's got a nine hurt her.

Yeah, you'd love to see her wearing a red and black.

Let me tell you, I think I got a little more on the way.

She can jump in with her long arms where she's at on defense.

I think she could do some damage around the basket on offense to 21 to 19.

That's the aforementioned Robinson double team.

Slings it out to Cooper.

They go inside on the cut to Taylor Gordon and a whistle.

Tatyana Wade Waynes is called for the foul her first up 635 until halftime Archer quietly got back into the system the two point game they did the first opportunity missed by Taylor Gordon should have another opportunity Well they quit turning the ball over and that's one of the keys to beating this McEachern team that's for sure.

22 to 19 now.

Token pressure by McEachern Archer able to break it.

They find Mark Teasley down low, she puts it up and the Miss and Robinson with the rebound run in the break she's on the wing drives off glass and it goes out of bounds.

She gets it up and puts it back in.

And one that ball was like kind of laying on the baseline, looked like it was out.

And then she was able to save it and then grab it.

You see it right there, hook the line.

And then she was able to force it up.

And in the opportunity now to complete a three point play what she doesn't go ahead of.

So you're saying that's why I like to see her around the basket on offense.

She can be very, very effective there.

The Lindsay sisters play Patty passing catch bounce pass down low to mark easy turns around.

Nice move That's deep in the block And look at it as well Eriksen Yes.

Got a big body and she knows how to use it.

She put the hip on Robinson to get to position so she couldn't block it.

Robinson A three to go play with some top.

Yes, she is 27.

Good.

21 McEachern by six.

Stop and pop as Newby gets her own rebound.

Such a shot and the half.

And that's on Robinson and Kaleigh Robinson.

That's number two out of Newby, the six two freshman from under the line couple of good looking big girls for Archer and there are two freshmen more I'm telling you entering the game from a teacher is the Clara Daniels the first opportunity to see her tonight?

The senior.

You know, she's just a freshman.

She got a Georgia Tech offer.

And entering the game again for Archer is Amber Skidmore, the junior 27 to 23, McEachern Hooper to the rack out of control and barrels in to man who took the charge And that's three on man now I mean I'm sorry three on Cooper three on Cooper has to be big.

Yes.

Good job by man.

She just held her ground for about two or 3 seconds, saw Cooper coming out of control, took the punishment over the back.

Robinson That might be her second three on Robinson.

It's also has got to call a timeout because we got three fouls on Cooper and Robyn Robinson.

It appears the coaches are not happy at all.

That was just not a smart foul reaching over the back end.

Let's take a look at the road to the championship.

First halves, the Lady Indians and McEachern, sponsored by Georgia EMC.

Well, there you see it, Gail, putting up a lot of points against Rockdale County, same thing against Brunswick, Douglas County, a 31 point win and a 27 point win against South Forsyth.

I mean, this this is just a juggernaut rolling.

But right now, archers giving them all they want.

And here's Archer's road to the playoffs and Archers Road.

Despite getting the bus breakdown today, the Georgia emcee lighting the way.

How did they get here?

Well, some impressive wins over West Forsyth, Roswell, North Forsyth, and then a 21 point win over lound.

So also some pretty good margins.

Markazi goes the line for two.

But the big story right now is if it's correct, his three fouls on Cooper and three fouls on on Andre Robinson she's coming in.

That's right.

I was just finishing it.

All right.

Statistician Kevin right on cue, if that is the case and that's big.

Yes, it is.

That's the two best players for McEachern.

That's also ten team fouls on McEachern.

So for 5 minutes, the next 5 minutes and 11 seconds, Gil Parker is going to be shooting the automatic two on the free throw line, which is also a big part.

The Andrea Bridges is in the game now for Robinson's pass and another turnover or a foul and offensive charge the smart defense again that time by Tatianna Lane right there just watching the McEachern Indians coming in out of control There you go.

Great heads up defense is a charge in the position by Tatianna Wade got the press broken off glass and good And they take it away though.

They take it away.

Sure.

To giving that one up.

No way.

She could avoid the charge.

You know, they used to give you that basket if you've made the shot for the charge.

But they don't do that anymore.

They should.

I like that move award the basket, but give the foul.

The double team by arch is stolen and laying it up and in that's Tatyana Wayne 27 All now that's bridges under control misses it rebound and up and in for McEachern as Alisha Williams baseball pass to Wayne Wayne drives underneath to nobody She lost it off her foot Oh yes she did She lost it also flipped the ball goes over to McEachern tap and nobody needs to learn to use that left hand of see to use the left hand.

She too made that bucket.

Nice defense.

Another turnover and it looks like be over the back out of New deal to the back and it was smoothly yes her first Archer's missed a couple of chances too to actually get to lead.

They've had two steals and two layups and can be the one to go down the last two possessions.

Pressure being applied by Clarkson for them in that trap like unable to get it across the time line.

That's Jada Lewis to Daniels the Clara Daniels on the wing to Jada Lewis working against newbie Allen Bridges to Miss Bridges again, No Libby with the rebound and we go the other way.

Sister assists That's Madison right up Loose ball War game by McGee We're going the other way and a reach in on Tatiana Wayne Well way too much dribbling but to my man Madison Newby Then you got to give the ball up.

Triple team.

Somebody open a bridge in the action.

332 until halftime.

McEachern by two.

We'll be right back.

And Macon after this back here and making it two point lead enjoyed by McEachern right now we have some numbers that we're going to put up on the screen right now and you can take our our viewing audience through and one is particularly turnovers and what does that mean right now?

Well, Archer had turned it over quite a bit in the first quarter and then they cut back on their turnovers.

They're actually creating some turnovers for McEachern now.

So it's kind of switched to the other foot.

And of course McEachern playing without their two best players.

So Archer really needs to take advantage of this next 3 minutes and 32 seconds because I doubt if we're going to see.

Cooper Right.

Or Kelly Robinson back in this ballgame.

And boy, you really want to take a chance.

And here's your points off turnovers early on.

MCEACHERN Most of that was probably coming in the first quarter, archers probably most of them coming in the second quarter and they sort of show you something.

Herb Cooper and Robinson both settled in foul trouble right now.

Accounts for 23 of them.

Yeah, when we say they're important, turns 29 points right now.

And that's why Archer needs to really bear down this next 3 minutes.

Play really tough defense because McEachern is going to have a tough time scoring without those two and concentrate on getting good shots.

Well, maybe they can get the lead before they go into halftime.

Elizabeth Allen connects on her first opportunities in the charity stripe is second quarter field goal numbers, courtesy of Tevin Barnes, a statistician here tonight.

McEachern three of ten.

Archer three of nine.

I got to give a shout out to our engineers in the back, but please don't tell me the score of the Georgia game if they know what it is, if somebody tells them because I have that record and I'm going home to watch it tonight and it's a big game.

So when Herb said, Don't tell me to score the game at LSU, thank you.

He wants you to not tell him McEachern gets to steal.

That's Bridges straight to the rack.

It's 33 to 27 now.

Some breathing room, bridges mark teasing down low fumbles it the rebound taken down by McEachern as we go the other way That's J.D.

Lewis too bridges up and no good mark teasing what the rebound at this vigil University of Georgia commit she loses the basketball and we go the other way That's the clarion Daniels to Lewis a bomb airball Well, Archer playing right into the kitchen's hands right now instead of doing what they need to do, which is take care of the basketball and with Cooper and Robinson on the sidelines, play smart, tough defense and get good shots at the other end, they're playing helter skelter and just keeping this MacEachern team in the ballgame with the lead.

All right, you want a baseline and that's lady and she's back and coming over the top.

It looked like it was Martin Plain teacher Mark Martin on the foul her first.

So Madison Newby will go to the line.

She misses the first once again the little spark plug able to get down the baseline and get the shot.

She averages over ten points per game.

She's at six assists.

And as I've told you earlier, the heart and soul of Klein, Lesniak basketball team, she makes the second it's 33 to 28, maybe with six advancing it in the front quarters.

Bridges on baseline and shooting a jumper and missing was Allen ball for four on the floor they give it to on the baseline for Clara Daniels who knocks it down that makes it 35 to 28 letting loose with a three and knocking it down was amber scheduled 35 to 31 archer within four weird looking shot.

No rotation, but she's supposed to be a shooter, so I guess she knows what she's doing.

Yes.

And headed to the University of Georgia.

Commit to Andy Landers.

We got a shot of Andy Early.

He's here in attendance of the game tonight.

That's man her second.

There you see Andy is the institution at the best at the University of Georgia when it comes to women's basketball.

So many great players he's produced and revered and loved this.

And once again, McEachern has got to feel pretty good.

They've been able to hold on to that lead without their two best players on the floor.

Taylor Gordon connects, so that makes it 37.

They're 31 under 2 minutes till halftime, the six day state championship game here in Georgia.

McEachern and Archer letting loose and cutting loose with a bomb and missing was Kayla Rogers.

That's Louis Daniels.

Oh nice and able to convert was Clint.

Tisha Martin.

Are you kidding me?

Well, you got to leave Robinson out of the game.

He was blocking all the shots.

Got two big people in there.

You're not trying to get it down to your big guys.

You're messing around and turning it over just right.

Archer really not playing smart basketball at this stage, but it shows you the depth of what Silas Arthur has on this basketball team.

I mean, you got two of your best players sitting because they're saddled with foul trouble and the reserves are getting it done and it's one quarters.

Nobody off balance but gets it to go 39 to 33.

Archer within six.

Oh, nice shake and bake move by Gordon loses the ball on the floor and getting it back to the rebound and missing the shot was Martin we're going the other way There you go.

Stingy.

39 to 35.

Ten players have scored for McEachern here tonight.

They lead by four under 25 seconds to go.

We have a good one here in Macon.

Slipping and falling, but regaining her balance is Allen and they lost it out of bounds.

All right.

Archer's got time for a good shot here.

It's 12 and a half seconds left.

Plenty of time to get it up and get a good look.

Jada Lewis in for McEachern.

Good move by man.

Back end for Archer.

McEachern is going to apply the pressure.

Try to make a news up clock bringing it up the floor right now.

And for Archer I see Martinez's schedule.

The two newbies and Alicia man Sydney garden again enters the game for McEachern.

They trap and the ball knocked out of bounds Great defensive play by the clearing.

Daniels And there you go.

Press not 4 seconds off the clock.

Manuel getting triggered inbounds.

She gets it in the movie Double team.

6 seconds to go.

She's struggling in the back court gets it ahead.

The man and man travels or is it a double dribble?

Is the turnover and the ball will go back over to McEachern.

What about a second?

A little over a second to go.

And T is shorter coming in for Newby, not the kind of execution Coach Lesniak is looking for.

Quick shot on second, the bomb at the buzzer is No Good by Jada Lewis, and that's going to put the end of a first half.

What the score McEachern a four point lead over Archer in the six eight state championship 39 to 35.

It's an array Raven Toronto is standing by with McEachern, fellas.

Arthur Ladies, it's all yours, Coach.

Despite that, you have the lead right now.

What's the most frustrating thing for your girls right now?

The calls, the fouls, they called on us.

I mean, it was 10 to 4 for a long time, and my girl just got to settle down and play through the foul.

Congressman Paul.

All right, Coach.

Well, good luck.

Thank you.

All right.

All right.

Thank you, Raven.

And of course, she alluded to it her, you know, in terms of foul troubles with her starters.

COOPER and Robinson still more to come here McEachern up by four clear and mark with halftime after this Welcome back to TV beast coverage of the DHS eight Boys and girls high school basketball championships live from the heart of Georgia live from the Coliseum.

We are watching a great game here.

We've crowned four state champs already.

Two more to go.

A game and a half, actually.

Yeah.

It's been a very exciting day.

We've had some great games here on GPB and not just today.

We started on Thursday, we had games Friday.

This has been a fabulous weekend here in Macon.

It's been a great marathon of hoops and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Definitely not.

But right now McEachern is leading our tour by four points.

This has been a very exciting game.

You know, first, we've seen this a lot.

The first quarter, these teams kind of maybe have a slow start.

One team seems to jump way ahead and then it becomes a contest all of a sudden again.

Right.

I mean, and this is a pretty high scoring game.

It turned out to be, you know, 39, 35 right now.

Yeah.

Well, this is certainly getting people talking online.

Let's check in with our social media correspondent Grace all saying, hey, Grace, we have Meghan, right?

I'm sorry.

We said we've had a lot of tweeters.

Meghan Robinson said Archer is finally coming back.

So cool to have played with most of these girls to compete who's finals.

So we have some former opponents tweeting, tuning in, watching the game.

We also have Shawn McNeil.

It says Newbie Sisters for NVP and Kay Moore says, Watching my girls play their tails off tonight to hashtag Archer Nation that's been a very popular hashtag, have also had some of you on Twitter asking if that Archer fan has gotten here yet.

It has not, unfortunately.

The latest I heard was they're about 5 minutes away.

So hopefully they'll be here to catch the second half.

Now, I'm going to show you real quickly what we've got going on on Facebook right here.

We've got the 2014 GHC basketball state Finals album going and we have photos loaded every single game.

If you missed anything, you can go to our Facebook page and catch it here.

We've got tons of photos, tons of interviews, tons of videos you can find it all if you like us on GPB Sports.

And if you know somebody here that was here at one of the games, tag your friends, tag everybody, you know, that was here.

And also remember that in GBP dot org slash sports, every single game has been livestreaming.

So for this game, if you have to get up and go grab your mobile phone, grab your iPhone, your iPad, and you can just pull up the GB website and find the game there, I'm going to send it back over to Mark and players.

Now you're on your Twitter machine or something.

I know we're way over 11,000 likes on Facebook.

We want to get up there to 12 or 13,000.

So like us on Facebook, right?

Yeah.

All these TPTB fans on Facebook and Twitter are keeping us busy in between games and you know, they're keeping us on our toes.

I'm seen how fast my thumbs can move tonight, right?

Right.

They honored at halftime my doctor, Al Swearengen.

He's going to come on with us before the next game and we'll talk to him about his tenure as the executive director of the GHC as well, that he's had a long run.

Oh, right.

Now let's check out our Georgia EMC scoreboard.

We've got four finals.

We got two more play to finish off today.

Today in the single-A private school, girls, it was Southwest Atlanta Christian beating Holy Innocents, 57 to 52 in the boys class.

AA Private cat classification.

St Francis wins its first over Winfield Academy 65 to 60.

A terrific game in the Girls three AA championship game with St Pius defending their title, winning their fifth overall championship, beating Buford 48 to 45.

Morgan County wins its first ever beating Buford 69 to 45 and the boys triple-A final right now at the Half of the Girls six AA championship game.

MacEachern They won back in 2012.

Archer This is their first trip to the championship game.

It's 3935, anybody's game there.

And coming up, one more final game is the Class six AA Boys Wheeler and Jim County.

Yep.

Now it's time for our career play of the game.

This was presented by the technical college system of Georgia.

The health care field is broad and full of rewarding careers.

Medical and clinical lab tech jobs are growing at a rate of over 2% annually.

Jobs in biotechnology labs are growing at about the same rate as Georgia continues to compete in high paying science and technology fields.

Other areas of health care, like pharmacy technology, have provided stable jobs for many years.

Even working as a veterinary tech can be a rewarding way to make a living.

That's why health care is back in the spotlight as our career play of the game and this message has been brought to you by the technical college system of Georgia, you can find more information by visiting SGS dot edu.

You know, one of the things I really enjoyed today is interviewing some of the players from the games like Tookie Brown and Asia.

DUER Now they're so excited, you know, when they win the championship and they hold the trophy and they get the hats and the t shirts and everything else, and these are moments and memories that they'll last a lifetime.

It's fun to be a part of that.

You know, I've never played in a state championship when I was in high school, but I feel like I did a little piece of that when I was younger.

I wanted to play in a state championship game.

I watched a lot of them anyway, but never got to play in one.

Yeah, and I remember my high school basketball team when I was in high school made it here and it was just a great experience, not just for the players but for the fans.

And hopefully we're bringing a little piece of that to you guys at home as well, right here live on GPB.

We're getting ready for the second half of the girls six day state championship game we're doing McEachern and Archer.

Yep.

When we come back, we're going to have some first half of my life.

Plus we're going to turn it over to, let's see, Dylan, Herb.

They'll have some great highlights coming up.

See you back here in making our halftime score.

I'm a teacher in out in front of Archer by the count of 39 to 35, jokes Ira, along with Herb White and Herb, we take a look at this basketball game.

Let's start out with the highlights.

Early on in this game and it looks like the Newby Sisters, we're trying to get Archer going.

Well, there you are, the heart and soul of this team.

Madison Newby scores comes down and gets another one from the free throw line.

Tatiana Wayne drives, can't get it down.

Another Newby cleans it up.

Autumn Newby, the freshman.

And here she comes with the scoop.

Not bad for six two freshman on the break and Anita Cooper, right knocking down threes and in the corner also a Cooper jam.

Cooper Again but saddled with foul trouble.

And our half time stats brought to you by Farm Bureau of Georgia.

What jumps out at you?

Well, Archer is taking a lot less shots, but they only have one less field goal.

So three point shooting is the difference in this ballgame right now.

Potato head, six for 11 Archer, just one for four free throws.

Not too much as far as the archer doing a great job on the backboards winning 20 to 15 and too many turnovers for Archer so turnovers in the three point shots have really hurt Archer but to be within four points with that big a discrepancy in three point shooting and turnovers, it's pretty good show for Archer actually there is more basketball to come here on GPP tonight Of course the six eight boys state championship Tip County and Wheeler I notice the Wheeler delegation Wheeler nation has already gotten here Herb Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Look inside the huddle of McEachern.

Phyllis Arthur talking to her young ladies I tell you, seeing Ralph Swearengen honored wasn't a great guy to work with, but I started out when we were first trying to get the games on GPB with Tommy Gilbert back in the early nineties, and we worked with him for a while.

Then Dr. Swearengen came in.

I can't believe I was there for his whole career and now he's leaving.

But Gary will do a great job and it's been a great ride for me, I'll tell you that.

It's been a great ride for everybody and the beneficiaries of this wonderful student athletes, the communities and the parents.

For visionaries who see the big picture stepping out and immediately knocking down a long jumper was Kaline Robinson a two to make it 41 to 35 right off the bat.

Bridges Well correct me that was Newby and spotting up and launching a three Oscar winning was scheduled.

Some guys got to be open they got a triple team excellent ball rotation and that's Newby But Miss Sister gets the rebound and brings it back out.

Crosscourt to Sister little Sis, in that case, younger sister and they get it back out to Wayne.

Just pass to Newby Overton moving from the wing to Wayne trying to shake the defender but no go.

A bounce pass is kicked out of bounds so Archer will retain and regain possession just under the seven minute mark here is such a difference with Kaleigh Robinson in the game.

She takes away so much inside.

There you see it right there moving and moving, the ball stolen away by by Robinson who advances it over the time line and Crawford spots up a three and Oscar the reverse English on that one it wasn't Cooper was Lewis I stand corrected 44 to 35 now Cooper is hounding Newby Looby gives to his sister.

She spins to scheduling, I guess.

Looks like there was 3 seconds in the lane turnover.

Dangerous time right now for Archer McEachern is on a roll open this thing up to nine points and Coach Lesniak feels the same way.

He recognizes that immediately.

Herb you're absolutely right.

Well, the good coaches can feel when things are getting a little out of hand.

Good time out there.

But Coach Lesniak, a couple of threes can change things in a hurry.

And that's what's happened.

McEachern has knocked down a couple.

The starters have taken you inside right now that make veteran huddle.

And let's revisit those keys today here to see SGA learn more and more.

Well, they've done exactly what they needed to do.

It's certainly been a fast paced a lot of points scored in this ballgame and they created turnovers, especially in that second quarter, the third quarter field goal numbers.

MacEachern Two of two, Archer all of two.

And you see Archer's Keys start with the good defense.

Let turnovers.

Yeah, just a success.

Got to limit the turnovers the whole game.

Yeah, And there you go.

Right.

It's really hurt them.

Gordon cuts loose with a three off the air no good the rebound controlled by Tatianna Wayne has stumbled on a good point.

Every now and then we'll tell you the low man slicing move to the hole off glass is Addison Newby.

She has 11 big buckets for Archer there.

Robinson A step out.

Robinson She has some kind of player.

I'm like that girl.

BAZE Space on the wing is Tatianna.

Wayne I mean, just a cold dagger.

Three and just answers it, you know.

The Great move by Nubian.

ROBINSON Right back.

I don't have her size and she looks like she's at least as tall as out of new be at six two with Williams on the sound now the block by Robinson is doing it Oh there she is and we talked about it earlier from mother suffers with lupus and was adopted by the Cooper family.

Oh mom.

Speaking of Kaleigh Robinson, she's defending that time against newbie and which is seven blocks a game, which is pretty impressive.

She's going to launch another one and fighting for the rebound and going up strong with it.

But the whistle was on Michelle Williams and the foul was on CC more say her first.

Well if I was a coach try to get it inside get Robinson a couple of head fakes see if he can pick up that fourth foul on him.

He can't go up the first time You got to give her the head fakes if you can get her off her feet.

And Coach Lesniak going back with Markazi into the ball game to get some more size inside, maybe they're going to try to go inside a little boy and Michelle Williams misses the first shot.

Have another opportunity The lead at ten being enjoyed by McEachern.

Right now the lead is 11 and then recognizing the trap advances the ball almost lost it and is lost.

And that's Louis to Cooper knocked out of bounds McEachern now herd on a 13 six run entering the game now as man and exiting as Tatianna Wayne throw it Well that was right big time three or 4 minutes at the end of the first half.

And both of Archer's top players were out of the ballgame.

That lady right there and tell you, Cooper and McEachern really didn't do anything that they needed to do.

They got Robinson.

Talia Robinson makes it look so easy.

She has 15 now.

It's a 15 six run, soon to be 17 oh, a 17 six run by McEachern.

And the lead is now at 15.

No body splits.

The defense still with the ball being held.

It almost turnover but it was kicked out of bounds by that layup by Tia Cooper was sweet.

She kind of kept that ball and held it off on her side and then laid it in nicely off the glass.

That was a big time move.

Mann triggers it in to moving bounce pass down low to Mark Casey the jump hook off glass no good over Robinson and the rebound taken by Robinson baseball pass out to Lewis two spin move and struggling with it in the in the lane was Taylor Gordon Well if Robinson doesn't block it she offers a lot of shots as well.

So you start thinking about you block seven shots again second foul here you see that he's been moved second foul on Mark teasing but it's the other team shooting 40% and blocking seven shots a game that's quite a few points It adds up for the game here win two in total Taylor Gordon makes a first she'll have another opportunity the lead now at 16 biggest lead in the ninth Taylor Green again the lead now at 17 Archer able to advance it across halfcourt That's Newby sliding and driving and getting it to go Madison Newby with 13 Nice split by Alicia Williams 66 to 39 There you go in the end won by Newby Great head fake you got Collier up the line Robinson off her feet just like I was talking about that four and Clyde Robinson with you having to do with those shot flying her with the score McEachern up 15.

We'll be right back in Macon after this.

Off here.

Oh my gosh.

This fall it's the season of season number four, Football Fridays in Georgia.

We bring you bigger and better high school football games around the state right in your living room.

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

The all access pass as well.

Three exciting hours of live high school football kicks off this fall on Georgia Public Broadcasting.

Teachers and fans of all ages coming to make in just a to picture the young people.

The future basketball stars here enjoying the game that we love so much.

For last year, turnover total has ballooned up to 16 and that is not a good total for them.

And Coach Lesniak had mentioned to me in the conversation we had with him that he wanted his team to use the head fake because McEachern did block a lot of shots and had a tendency to leave their feet.

And I believe that's the first time tonight that they've done it.

Like each year now in a 21 to 10 run and also 12 to 4 early on, the miss shot off the wing and Archer with the rebound.

Newby at the controls splits two defenders around and up and in She has something else she can find their way to that rack and sure 1723 right now and she's not going to give up easily.

You can bet on that.

No, she's not a tough customer.

Yes, she is eight in the fourth quarter.

Two I'm sorry, eight this period.

I'm sorry, eight in this quarter standing that defense out now trying to put a little pressure.

Roman.

That baseline was Alicia Williams.

She's another one who's contributed well here tonight from Phyllis Harper vestibule the miss the rebound is controlled by McEachern as we go the other way Taylor Gordon at the controls and letting it fly in the midst of the wing was an issue.

Williams And with the ball now is moving to MAN two Newby fakes the three but is called four steps.

Now Autumn Move is going to be a really good player.

She has that ability to get the rebound off the board with her size and then bring it up on the dribble.

Now a lot of big folks can do that.

McKenzie will leave the game and coming in now for Archer is touching on a Wayne also exiting stage left as Madison Newby third quarter turnovers right now Archer with four that's bridges look for bridges again in the middle She lost it but the ball was regained back and put up an in by Taylor Gordon this is McEachern team Herbers really really do get shot by Archer and the rebound taken down by McEachern I'm really impressed by all the girls teams that we've watched this week and how well they use the backboard and the glass.

Yes, when they're attacking the basket, I think a lot of guys could learn something from that.

These girls are masters of using all of the glass to get their shots up to the proper spin.

You know, you look at these numbers as a ninth grader, she's scored 339 points, 556 and 10th grade and 330.

Right now as a junior.

Can you can you imagine?

And she's second right now in scoring behind Amber five.

And that's exactly that's the point that I'm trying to make.

Exactly.

Moving again, you see the points off turnovers one in seven.

Yes.

The kitchen triggers in the inbounds.

That's Cooper backing it up and in no hurry.

Now at 16 point lead, they're going to work for Dylan.

They're going to milk it.

The turnover where do you think she's going?

To the rack and the miss and the rebound to McGee Turn to the hole and miss.

And that was Jada Lewis schedule.

Got her fresh schedule and that's two one schedule.

So with the minute five to go here in the third period and teacher in leading by 16 points Jada Lewis will go to the line to try to extend that lead for Phillis Arthur you don't think this is a hectic case you saw it It was trying to suck in a little oxygen while she's down on that free throw line.

Believe now at 17 equaling our biggest lead of the night with an opportunity to get it to 18.

You see the numbers on Jada Lewis here.

She now has eight good steady player, 62 to 44.

The ball on the floor, nobody out of control but they spotted Kwon Tisha Martin on the foul.

Yeah she might have slid over just a little get a good look at it here Thanks to our crack crew.

She just moved over a little bit to her.

Right.

To get some contact, you have to be completely still to draw that charge.

Mark, the first opportunity to correct the newbie.

The first opportunity.

It's nothing good.

Coming in the game right now Is Tia Shorter and schedule.

Sit down with about 51 seconds to go until the end of the third Newby with 1962 to 46.

The Lady Indians enjoy that lead here tonight.

That's Cooper working against Newby.

The double team comes over.

She anticipates and recognizes it, finds an open player and then Drea Bridges underneath for two bridges with four nice recognition 64 to 46.

They go high, low and nobody loses it.

And that's the end of the third quarter with the score.

McEachern now 8 minutes away from taking a state championship back to Cobb County with the score.

McEachern 64.

Archer, 46, will be back in Macon after this.

We're back here and Mason McEachern on top of archers, 60 to 60 4 to 46.

And Herb, you remember back in 2012 when McEachern went through Lassiter and Company went 33 and oh, and it was capped by that great celebration at the Gwinnett Center and Duluth.

And they're 8 minutes away from taking another championship back to Powder Springs.

Well, you don't want to say impossible, but it's certainly a big mountain for Archer to climb to get back into this, to try to pull this thing up.

And a lot of it is their own doing.

McEachern is a tough defensive team that archers played into their hands a little bit by throwing the ball away on numerous occasions, and that led to a lot of scores by McEachern schedule on the foul spotted her third and Williams at the line.

But you know, I can't say it enough as we talked about it, this team is very deep.

She wants to win it.

Yeah I mean she's gone 11 and 12 deep here tonight.

Just playing, people coming in waves.

Well, when they lost their two best players, they actually up the lead right at the end of the first half.

Take a look at the score in the breakdown, the third quarter numbers for McEachern and Archer.

Not the same number of shots, but different quality of shots, mostly layups.

For McEachern, Robinson over to Gordon.

He cut loose a big three but failed to connect and the rebound taken down by it looked like Lisa Williams And that's another foul on Archer and Tatianna Wade her third and foul starting to mount up for Ryan Lesniak for it make it look so easy to get Cooper to Gordon 67 to 46 to lead now 21 Robinson to Lois and Lesniak has seen enough.

So he says we may lose, but we're not going to look like we don't know what we're doing out there.

And right now, Archer is just completely out of sync.

Great camera work by a crew, too great of a season to go down without without putting up a struggle.

And he's going to make play out this last 714 like they're in this ballgame and that's what you should do seven over run by the Indians and they have ballooned their lead balloon and blown this thing wide open right now at 69 to 46.

Get a look at the Archer cheerleaders in attendance here.

Many people coming down from Gwinnett County.

Well, if you're a good coach, your players should not even know what the score is unless it's a big moment and you just out there to play and do what you're supposed to do, execute.

And if you're losing by 21, you're still supposed to be doing it.

And that's what Coach Lesniak told Time Out and told his girls.

I'm sure.

Raven, you've got more for us.

We're calling Raven Dorado.

Raven, I'm here.

Can you guys hear me?

Yes.

All right, here we go.

Yeah.

Guys, I was over in the Archer huddle, and you can just kind see the defeat not only on the kids faces, but also on the coach.

But he got to stress the importance of going back door, setting up your screens and getting through the middle.

You know, some of the things that they're not doing right now.

And hopefully they can draw something up here in the fourth quarter.

Back over to you.

The press again bother and thank you Raven it bothers me from the steal but Archer able to regain it back and the ball is kicked out of bounds by Robinson Archer Whoa retain possession after the kick ball cut down away another little spark plug in there She gets in there and makes it snap as well.

That was almost over and back.

Yes, it was wasn't call that's moving off glass and thinking it up and in.

That's about the best they've handled the press all night 69 to 48 with 11 the movies have accounted for 28 of Archer's 48 points here tonight, spinning and weaving her way through traffic with Jada Lewis.

And a foul getting released yet man for the post.

A man right Taylor Gordon and Lewis swings it out to Robinson.

She's going to launch a three The lady has a chance and my goodness I mean effortless her effortless the college coaches in the stands tonight watching a like player Robinson she's put on a show and we hope her mom who's suffering from lupus just got out of the hospital is watching her daughter put on a show here tonight.

You know, we talk about, you know, we have so many initiatives at GPB, one to stop the drop or encourage and try to reduce the dropout rate.

Julia Robinson had problems at Cal thanks to the Cooper family.

And the folks at McEachern were able to get her life turned around.

And she's been a wonderful addition.

And to see her on track and dealing with the death of her father at an early age, no father figure, and then her mother contracting lupus and overcome all of that.

And to be a positive influence for young ladies, not only in Georgia, but worldwide.

It's commendable in and out the aforementioned Miss Robinson with the basketball bringing it up the floor, her team leading 72 to 48 by 539 away from bringing a state championship back to Powder Springs, the second one in three years.

Talia was RIM High to get that rebound.

It gives you some idea of her reach and athletic ability.

Taking the shot was Kayla Rogers.

Things just not going right for you right now.

Her Oh, a lot of things don't go right a lot of times for McEachern opponents Gale it just impose their will on you defensively and like you say they're just so deep so talented.

They just keep coming at you with talented players.

Roy Cooper and a man almost collided.

That was Lewis excuse me.

Lewis and ran almost collided.

Then they spot Lewis with a foul.

But when you realize how far Coach Lesniak has brought this program in the five years they've been there, they're going to keep coming by.

They're going to keep going.

Not a fluke, that's for sure.

And Coach Lesniak, I mean, 22, not 22.

And the follow the follow by Lewis off the Miss by Williams 7448 Lewis with ten slicing her way through on a nifty nice move There's no quick guide to Madison newbie she has 21 and leads all scorers here but it may be too little too late.

I was kind of token defense by MacEachern that time.

Just let her go.

74 to 53.

I'll tell you what, if there's any program that's a model for programs here in Georgia McEachern would an athletic plant and facility but they're trying to squeeze schedule in the corner knocks it down three she has a 74 to 53 that's Cooper on a wild shot to miss and the rebound controlled by Nova stopping and popping and missing for Archer was to shoulder the rebound with the mceachern That's Cooper Nice move on the wing.

Now as Gordon fakes it launches, it bounces around no good Cooper gets the rebound, backs it out under 4 minutes to play working again shorter Oh the nice move and the dish in the course up shot off glass doesn't go but the hack on 20 to Martin which will send her to the line fouls on autumn newbie her second day more a little bit like as you're doing with those left handed juke moves she can free herself with a couple of quick moves to that left hand plenty of margin makes the first one of the many seniors on this basketball team.

And Lisa Williams is senior Taylor Gordon, a senior 20 year mark missing the Clarion, Daniels a senior, Ashley McCraven, a senior, and Andre Show, Williams a senior.

But they've got a left coming back at that range.

Jack blocked by Robinson are you kidding me and hack and the strong move up to the glass and knocking it down is Autumn Newby I want you to see where if we could get that replay on this block.

Marian Gordon Now that's the replay of right before that McEachern play.

It was said she took just a little too much time and Robinson noticed her out there.

And I'm telling you, she came flying from nowhere with that wingspan.

That was very impressive.

BLOCK Nobody tries to save it, but it goes to the wrong jersey.

That's.

ROBINSON Fumbling with it, regains it, goes over to Cooper, Cooper splits the defense, gets the ball stolen away big to tech.

Diana Wayne he misses it And Robinson with the rebound Cooper on the wing spin and the foul it looks like Tatiana Wayne a hard foul.

But that's the other way.

A little frustration there.

Her fourth and a team's eight Get a look at the orchard bench.

Tatiana thought she'd get her money's worth with that one.

But I'll tell you, you look at the Orchard team, they're going to be back.

They got a lot of young young'uns, McEachern failing to make a basket.

We have a whistle ball 40 on the floor, and the foul was on Tisha Martin.

Her third is philosophical and just a master builder.

And this McEachern program, they started young Herb You know, we talk about programs and how they're built starting middle school coaching them up and you it's a process and right now it's working at McEachern and a lot of schools in metro Atlanta and even in the great state of Georgia, it's a formula for success.

Cooper had the ball poked away and she gets it back and we go the other way.

She has Oh, Robinson Oh, the alley oop 40 time and Carter Springs 22 now we're going to get the guys in the truck.

You you narrate this play.

Tell us what we just saw.

Well just great ball handling by Cooper to get the ball back and just beautiful alley oop and Kelly Robinson has just been the most impressive player on the floor for me tonight And I don't think she's shown us half of what she can do.

You know, she's pretty much content to let Cooper run the show, handling the ball and everything.

But I've seen a couple of flashes of her ball handler in the building that we know she can shoot from distance.

She's knocked down trying to see how many three pointers they need Got her for three for five.

And she may have run more than that.

But I tell you what, she's coming back next year in a game high.

Right.

And a game high.

22 points.

There she is again.

And finding people and making it work.

I tell you what, Asia Door is a great player, but I don't know who the best junior is when I'm looking at this.

This young lady play 20, Jim Martin makes it 79 to 57.

A Steal Again by Robinson in the passing lane and pass it and dishing off to Jada Lewis 81 to 57 Mickey True Lewis with 1220 and Martin her fifth.

She has found out this basketball game get a look at from McEachern bench.

I'm sure the ride back to Powder Springs tonight.

It's going to be happy happy, joy, joy and chargers after finally taking out some starters and some basketball talent right there.

Yes, it is great to see a young lady turn our life around, as you mentioned, and she can pick and choose any college she wants if she's got the grades, I'll tell you that.

And we wish her mama all the best wishes and all that.

And if you want to know about lupus, go online and Google it at Wikipedia disease, debilitating disease, and hopefully we can raise more money to eradicate it.

But her mother has to be very pleased with what she's seeing that night.

Watching at home tonight will be in the open floor.

It lays it up in in, but it's going to be all academic bright future for that young lady, too.

We've mentioned it a few times.

She's got three years left to improve and three was the lowest of the last two.

Miss was born again has entered the game.

36 seconds to go.

Nobody will score 81 to 66, 30 seconds to go.

Time out for McEachern and they're going to empty the bench.

Herb McGill.

Yes, sir.

This is our last one together.

No, it's not.

No, it's not good, but it's not.

It's been it's been a lot of fun working with you these last several years, man.

We've seen some great basketball talent out here.

You told me last year it was your last one with me, and you're back with me again.

We're married.

We're joined at the hip.

You don't leave me.

But I will say enjoy your time down in medical.

Yeah, I'm going to go down.

Down to Guadalajara.

I played a little basketball there many, many years ago.

And there's a beautiful spot down there.

And it was going to go down and try it out and live in the sun for a little while.

So, you know what?
